Shosholoza
is
a
naguni
call
and
response
song
originally
sung
by
Mine
Workers
to
express
the
challenges
of
working
in
the
mines
in
South
Africa.
The
word
shosholoza
means
go
forward.
It
is
used
as
a
term
of
encouragement
and
hope
for
the
workers
as
a
sign
of
solidarity.
The
sound
show
is
an
imitation
of
the
sound
made
by
a
steam
train.
H
I
I
I
A
J
I'm
very
excited
about
today's
recognition
of
this
group
of
folks
who
are
here
for
62
years,
there's
been
a
county
science
fair,
most
recently
sponsored
by
synopsis.
You
may
not
know
this,
but
in
March
second
Thursday
of
March
every
year
at
the
South
Hall
of
the
convention
center
there's
a
big
science
fair
with
all
of
the
local
many
Local
Schools
participating
students
from
grades
7
to
12
participating.
J
We
know
that
science
and
technology
is
one
of
the
key
drivers
of
our
economy
here
in
Silicon
Valley,
and
it's
really
important
to
Foster
the
next
generation
of
scientists
and
Engineers.
That's
what
this
science
fair
does.
Unless
you
think
that
this
is
simply
a
group
of
kids
making
volcanoes
or
or
doing
the
experiment,
my
child
did
of
seeing
whether
this
five
second
rule
is
valid
or
not.
When
you
drop
food
on
the
floor,
this
group
of
students
finds
real
problems
and
tries
to
find
real
solutions
to
those
problems.
J
They
did
this
amazing
research
is
being
done
and,
as
an
example
just
found
out
recently
that
one
of
the
student
winners
from
the
science
fair
here
last
year
because
as
they
win
here,
they
move
on
to
other
science
fairs
California
and
national
science
fairs.
But
last
year
this
past
year
a
student
from
San
Jose,
Caitlyn
Wong
was
awarded
a
75
000
top
prize
at
the
National
Science
Fair
sponsored
by
regenerate
Pharmaceuticals
for
her
research.
So
there
are,
there
is
amazing,
work
being
done
here
and
it's
Cutting
Edge
research.
J
This
is
that's
being
done
by
students.
It
starts
by
the
students
that
join
the
science
fair
in
seventh
grade,
and
then
you
can
see
the
projects.
I've
been
a
judge
and
I'm
a
you
know,
a
scientist
by
training
and
most
of
the
11th
and
12th
grade
projects.
I
don't
understand
what
they're
talking
about
I
mean
I
I
do
my
best
so
anyway,
I
wanted
to
thank
the
students.
They've
all
received
a
certificate.
J
These
are
the
ones
who
were
either
honorable
mention
or
first
or
second
prizes
at
the
science
fair
last
year
in
2022,
actually
we're
just
now
getting
around
to
that,
and
next
year,
we'll
be
back
with
our
2023
winners,
but
they've
all
received
a
certificate
signed
by
the
entire
Council.
We
also
have
with
us
today
three
members
of
the
board
of
the
synopsis
science,
fair
Forest
Williams,
our
former
council
member
Elena,
chaduri
and
Vena
Jane
and
I.
Think
one
of
them
is
going
to
say
a
few
words.
K
Thank
you,
councilmember
Cohen,
and
also
the
mayor
and
all
the
other
council
members.
I
wanted
to
bring
to
you
the
future
of
the
city
and
the
entrepreneurial
Spirit,
we're
supposed
to
be
the
technology
technology
capital
of
the
world,
and
this
is
an
example
of
what
is
fact
going
to
take
care
of
the
future.
We're
going
to
leave
them
a
lot
of
problems
so
they're
up
to
the
speed
in
terms
of
how
to
solve
those
problems.
J
Just
one
more
comment:
we're
going
to
present
a
combination
to
the
to
the
members
of
the
board
here
in
a
second
but
I
also
want
to
mention
the
public
science.
Fair
is
open
to
the
public
at
the
end
of
the
day
on
the
second
Thursday
of
March.
So
next
year,
I
encourage
all
of
you
on
that
afternoon,
after
5
PM
to
go
and
and
walk
around,
and
look
at
the
work
that
these
students
are
doing,
because
it
really
is
quite
impressive.
A
A
G
Council
members
of
Foley
and
Torres
and
I
are
proclaiming
pride
month
today.
Our
lgbtq
plus
Community
deserves
all
the
recognition,
praise
and
celebration
they'll
be
receiving
this
month,
because
San
Jose
would
not
be
the
same
without
their
contributions.
I
have
two
stunning
examples
of
that
with
me.
Right
now,
council,
member
Torres
and
Silicon
Valley
Prides
Nicole
altamarino
are
incredibly
selfless
people
and
our
city
certainly
would
not
be
the
same
without
them.
Inclusion
and
diversity
lead
to
beautiful
collaboration,
deep
insight
and
solutions
that
meet
every
community's
needs
because
of
a
better
understanding
of
each
other.
G
With
this
Proclamation,
we
are
affirming
that
San
Jose
will
always
stand
with
its
lgbtq
plus
community.
You
are
welcome
here,
and
you
are
appreciated
here.
Please
join
us
this
evening
at
5
pm
at
the
Rotunda
outside
at
City
Hall,
where
we
will
be
raising
the
pride
and
transgender
flags
as
we
do
every
June.
We
will
also
have
performances
by
the
Silicon
Valley
gay
men's
chorus
and
Folklorico
colibre.
G
L
Thank
you
so
much
council,
member,
Davis,
Foley
and
council
member
Torres
love
it
happy
Pride.
Everyone
no
louder
louder.
Thank
you
all!
So
much
for
being
here.
You
know,
as
we
celebrate
pride
and
pride
month,
you
know
we
need
to
remember
how
Pride
began.
Pride
did
not
begin
out
of
a
need
to
celebrate,
but
Pride
began
out
of
a
need
for
people
to
live
their
authentic
self.
L
In
the
city
of
San
Jose
and
in
the
South
Bay
we
actually
celebrate
pride
in
the
month
of
August
Silicon
Valley
pride
is
the
last
weekend
in
August
every
year.
So
please
make
sure
you
come
out,
I'm
sure
we'll
be
here
again
and
this
year
our
theme
is
live
out
proud
and,
as
we
see
sweeping
legislation
throughout
the
country
taking
back
the
rights
of
our
trans,
siblings,
specifically
our
trans,
siblings
of
color,
we
see
drag
becoming
illegal
and
we
see
people
saying
don't
say
gay.
L
It
is
now
important
more
than
ever
that
we
stand
up
and
we
live
out
proud
We.
Also
in
this
city
and
this
County
and
in
this
state
we
are
privileged
to
be
here.
I
am
privileged
to
speak
to
you,
I'm
privileged
to
have
a
mayor
and
city
council
that
support
the
lgbtq
plus
community.
So
I
implore,
all
of
you
that
are
allies.
L
All
of
you
that
are
part
of
the
community
living
out
proud,
is
not
just
showing
your
beautiful
colors,
but
is
also
sticking
up
for
those
that
are
more
marginalized
than
you,
because
we
are
only
as
free
as
the
most
marginalized
members
of
our
community.
So
happy
Pride.
Let's
not
forget
the
true
and
first
meeting
of
Pride
and
let's
celebrate
being
beautiful
and
fabulous
like
the
lgbtq
plus
Community
is
known
for
happy
Pride
everyone
and
don't
forget
Silicon
Valley
Pride
last
weekend
in
August.
Thank
you.
A
M

That
night
we
have
our
officers,
one
one
officer,
who's
no
longer
with
us
officer
Lopez,
but
of
Sevilla
Nueva
Cuellar
and
Colin
Brian,
as
the
councilman
mentioned,
almost
lost
their
lives
taken
into
custody
and
responding
to
a
dangerous
individual,
but
because
of
their
their
training,
their
heroics,
their
extreme
bravery
and
courage.
They
were
able
to
survive
that
attack
and
keep
our
community
safe
and
take
the
individual
into
custody.
So
with
that,
I
want
to
thank
each
and
every
one
of
the
officers
here
today
for
their
work,
with
the
merge
unit
and
keeping
our
community
safe.
A
O
The
second
thing
was
looking
at
one
of
the
slides
that
they
shared
earlier
with
the
completed
InDesign
and
totals
or
TBD
sites,
it's
very
concerning
because
I'm
a
resident
at
85
and
101,
and
we
don't
see
it
as
District
2
or
district
10.
We
see
it
as
our
neighborhood
and
there
are
a
lot
of
these
sites,
which
we've
previously
fought
against
last
year
and
are
now
apparently
fighting
against
again
that
are
all
within
a
mile
or
less
and
I
know.
O
We
have
shared
these
Maps
over
and
over
with
the
council,
but
I
would
like
to
see
something
in
the
future,
where
there's
some
sort
of
restriction
on
how
many
sites
can
be
placed
in
one
neighborhood
or
the
number
of
beds,
or
something
because
this
is
a
yearly
battle
for
residents
and
it's
very
stressful
and
we're
concerned
about
the
future
of
our
neighborhood.
So
I
would
like
to
put
it
on
the
council
and
the
mayor
to
propose
something
to
protect
our
neighborhood
and
even
over
saturation
of
other
neighborhoods.
O
They
don't
face
the
same
issue
and
one
more
comment.
Our
new
district
10
council
member
I
would
like
you
to
be
more
proactive
in
these
battles,
for
your
neighborhood
and
I
would
also
like
you
to
be
more
responsive
to
your
residence
as
well,
because
I've
not
heard
back
from
you
once
yet,
but
that's
it
and
thank
you
for
listening.
P
Honorable
mayor
and
city
council,
I'm
David
Noel,
president
of
Erickson
neighborhood
association,
which
represents
650
homes
adjacent
to
the
Cherry
Avenue
emergency
interim
housing
site
I,
encourage
you
to
approve
this
site,
along
with
its
water
resources,
protection
Zone
I'd
like
to
thank
council
member
Foley,
Jennifer
codyan
of
Valley
Water
and
Omar
possums
from
the
city
manager's
office
for
bringing
forward
this
ingenious,
practical
solution
to
a
huge
problem
plaguing
our
neighborhood
local
businesses
and
the
environment,
while
not
all
neighborhoods.
Well,
not
all
neighbors
support
the
proposed
eih
I
feel
most
are
generally
supportive.
P
If
the
Water
Resources
protection
zone
is
enforced
and
the
site
has
responsive
24-hour
management,
our
residents
look
forward
to
feeling
safe,
enjoying
the
natural
beauty
of
the
Guadalupe,
River
and
percolation
Pond
areas
again
and
ending
the
fires.
Explosions
blight
screaming
crime
graffiti
and
environmental
destruction
that
have
been
eroding
our
safety
and
quality
of
life.
Our
neighborhood
association
stands
ready
to
participate
in
a
community
advisory
committee
to
ensure
this
eih
site
is
the
best
it
can
be.
Thank
you.
Q
Hello,
can
you
hear
me
now?
Yes,
oh
yes,
my
name
is
I'm
a
resident
of
the
Berryessa
neighborhood
and
obviously
have
been
opposed
to
the
plans.
You
know
the
RV
parking
area
we've
been
working
on
getting
the
the
homeless
off
the
creek.
For
the
last
few
years
there
have
been
numerous
fires
and,
and
you
name
it-
people
with
machetes
walking
on
the
streets.
So
obviously
it's
a
safety
concern
and
also
we've
seen
what
an
RV
camp
looks
like.
You
know
the
example
from
the
airport
area,
how
a
turian
controlled.
Q
You
know
parking
space
can
degrade
into
you,
know,
climate
infested
area.
Basically
they
were
recovering
a
lot
of
text
or
items
that
were
that
were
stolen
from
the
neighborhoods,
including
cars
in
that
in
that
area.
So
obviously
there's
the
example
to
look
back
and
predict
what
can
happen,
and
this
is
in
total
contrast
to
the
planned
development
of
the
flea
market
area
with
a
high-end
in
Office,
Buildings
and
so
on
so
forth.
So
it
looks
like
we
take
one
step
forward
to
developing
the
area
and
one
step
backwards.
Q
I
heard
a
lot
about.
You
know
the
all
the
the
the
the
homeless
need
to
be
accommodated,
but
what
about
us
taxpayers,
residents
of
the
neighborhood
we
have
concerns
and
I
have
a
feeling
over
the
given
our
experience
over
the
last
couple
of
years
that
the
council
is
not
treating
this
as
seriously
as
we
would
like,
and
so
you
know,
there's
there's
these
things
are
being
passed
without
adequate
information
and
obviously
these
meetings
are
on
the
weekdays
where
most
people
are
working.
I
know
in
my
neighborhood.
Q
R
S
Hi
everyone
hi
to
The,
Honorable
mayor
and
all
the
council
members
I
am
a
D2
resident.
I
live
on
the
Great
Oaks
Parkway.
Thank
you
for
councilman
buying
this
to
voice
his
opposition
to
the
upcoming
eihs
in
our
area.
If
you
look
at
the
graph,
it
shows
that
only
one
to
two
percent
of
the
homeless
population
used
to
live
in
this
area,
but
I
am
wondering
why
the
city
is
trying
to
push
947
beds
in
this
area
like
multiple
eih
projects
are
coming
up.
S
There
are
two
safe
parking
projects
that
are
coming
up
in
your
area
and
we
already
have
like
two
aih
I
know
that
the
EI
is
inside
are
very
well
managed,
but
the
cut
the
concern
is
majorly
because
of
how
it's
maintained
outside
there
are
in
campaigns
right,
opposite
the
current
eih
and
nothing
much
is
done
about
it,
and
even
when
eihs
are
built,
there
is
no
guarantee
for
the
residents
that
it
will
improve
their
quality
of
life,
especially
in
the
visiting
of
FNAF.
There
is
no
buffer.
There
is
no
enhanced
services
or
Outreach
or
nothing.
S
So
what
you
get
is
like
multiple
eihs.
They
are
just
temporary
solutions
after
a
few
months
people
exit-
and
if
you
look
at
the
data
that
the
deputy
manager
presented,
it
doesn't
look
like
even
it
has
50
success
rate.
It's
some
work
close
to
35
percent,
so
many
of
them
unfortunately
go
back
to
homelessness
yeah.
So
that's
our
major
concern.
So
if
eih
is
the
current
eihs,
if
you
can
manage
well,
I,
don't
think
there'll
be
much
pushback
for
more
eihs
from
coming.
T
Hi
player
Beekman
here
thanks
a
lot
for
this
item,
I
mean
a
real
thanks,
a
lot.
The
fact
that
it's
been
able
to
make
counsel
after
a
pretty
Grim
April
and
May.
We
weren't
really
talking
about
these
things.
Thank
you
and
you're.
Talking
about
it
really
well
I'm
interested
in
how
also
interested
in
a
public
comment
today
from
you
know,
concerned
residents
who
are
tired
of
the
process
of
having
to
have.
You
know
these
sort
of
questions
in
their
neighborhoods.
T
What
is
why
the
needs
for
government-sponsored
encampments
can
be
really
important
and
helpful,
and
for
certain
neighborhoods
to
want
to
be
a
part
of
that
or
to
help
map
out
where
it
could
be
good
future
neighborhoods
in
the
future,
so
that
people
aren't
surprised
so
much
I
mean
good
luck
in
those
sort
of
preparation,
efforts
and
working
together
in
the
future
and
I
and
I
guess
just
with
my
remaining
time
just
to
thank
you
on
the
on
the
previous
item.
Before
this
one
I
was
clarified
by
the
mayor.
T
My
public
comment
was
off
a
bit
and
sorry
about
that
so
good
to
know
it
was
a
really
good
item
and
I
can
talk
about
that
at
public
comment:
open
Forum
at
the
end
of
the
meeting,
otherwise
yeah
good
luck
on
real
Community
dialogue
and
really
building
and
creating
good
Community
dialogue
is
kind
of
issue
in
the
future.
Thank
you.

Hi,
thank
you.
Everyone.
My
name
is
Alvera
Faria
I'm,
a
district
2
Resident
and
Community
leader,
District
Two,
has
been
a
leader
of
providing
eih
housing
safe
parking
overnight
warming,
centers
senior
housing
and
Bridge
housing.
Mr
Jimenez
has
led
the
way,
despite
constant
pushback
from
the
community.
Therefore
I'm
asking
that
you
all
support
his
memo
today.
In
addition
to
the
housing
department
in
Omar,
we
requested
last
night
that
the
presentation
be
corrected
to
reflect
the
correct
numbers
and
it
doesn't
look
like
it
was
updated.
Monterey
and
Branham
204
units
is
District,
2,
not
District.
V
Three
Berryessa
Road
85
units
is
District
4,
not
District
3..
This
is
almost
300
units
mislabeled
throughout
your
presentation,
as
District
3..
In
addition,
we
all
know
after
redistricting
you
change
the
name
of
the
district,
but
the
units
are
still
concentrated
in
the
same
location.
This
does
not
help
the
conversation
about
Equity
listed
on
your
site,
because
the
distribution
is
all
in
the
same
location
within
a
one
mile
radius.
This
is
unfair
to
the
surrounding
community
and
for
our
First
Responders,
who
visit
these
sites
daily.
If
not
multiple
times
a
day,
Firehouse
27
is
overwhelmed.
V
It
seems
also
that
your
backup
sites
are
potential
sites
waiting
for
funding
to
count
towards
your
2000
unit
goal.
You
are
counting
on
the
backup
sites
getting
approved,
and
then,
when
you
get
approval
to
receive
your
funding
from
measure
e,
you
will
already
have
them
available
to
use.
District
2
and
district
10
residents
are
asking
the
city
for
equitable
distribution.
Thank
you.
W
Can
you
hear
me
now?
Yes,
okay,
I'd,
like
the
mayor
and
Council
to
please
keep
in
mind
Equity,
rather
than
solely
expediency
when
picking
places
to
build
sites
in
our
city,
I
live
nearby
where
the
8511
meet
and
there
already
exists:
Monterey
Branham,
Monterey
Bernal,
the
suitably
expanded
roof
Ferrari
sites,
as
well
as
the
soon
opening
Santa
Teresa
state
parking
area.
This
is
all
within
a
walk
of
our
homes.
I
share
sentiments
with
many
of
my
neighbors
that
believe
we
have
already
done
more
than
our
fair
share
of
to
burden
the
city's
homeless
Aid
sites.
W
And
yet,
despite
how
many
sites
there
already
are
around
our
neighborhoods
I'm
shocked,
Missy
City
hopes
to
add
even
more
between
Via
De,
Oro,
Colorado,
85,
Great,
Oaks,
85,
Santa
Teresa,
both
bertel
and
101
sites.
It
looks
like
our
area
will
likely
double
this
burden
in
the
coming
years.
Meanwhile,
areas
like
Evergreen,
alvidan,
Cambrian
and
the
entireties
of
districts,
one
and
four
continue
to
seemingly
do
nothing
to
help
tackle
homelessness
crisis
in
our
city.
W
If
San
Jose
wants
to
solve
this
crisis,
it's
going
to
take
the
entire
city
to
pitch
in
not
just
particular
areas,
it's
time
for
other
parts
of
the
city
to
step
up
to
the
plate
and
help
solve
it.
Otherwise,
as
it
stands,
South
San
Jose
is
dangerously
coming
close
to
becoming
the
city's
glorified
dumping
grounds
where
it
ships
off
as
problems
that
other
areas,
particularly
wealthy
ones,
don't
want
to
see
nor
deal
with
I
asked
the
mayor
council.
W
C
X
You
hi,
can
you
hear
me?
Yes,
thank
you
for
letting
me
have
a
voice
here
today.
The
permanent
housing
success
rate
from
the
city
assistance
is
very
good,
but
what
happens
to
the
remainder?
Third
of
these
people,
the
the
ones
that
go
back
to
homelessness-
and
you
know
we
don't
know
about
I've-
seen
an
increase
of
encampments
and
blight
here
in
South,
San
Jose,
where
the
majority
of
tiny
homes,
as
well
as
a
site
that
will
soon
have
about
67,
RVs
and
cars.
X
Y
You
know
like
they
spend
a
lot
of
time
in
the
area
you
know,
so
it's
just
not
safe
for
the
kids
or
next
generation
and
there's
also
like
a
plan
to
build
the
park
there.
So
again
the
children
will
spend
like
more
time
there
and
then
it's
just
not
safe
for
them
to
even
have
like
a
a
childhood
you
know
being
like
safely
to
play
outside.
Y
Z
Z
We
deeply
oppose
the
RV
recreational
site
because
we
don't
believe
the
community
is
getting
safer
and
we
don't
believe
that
this
proposal
to
concentrate
more
of
transitional
housing
in
this
area
will
help
our
community.
Quite
frankly,
this
community
already
has
a
tiny
home
transitional
housing
site
and
and
many
low-income
housing
complexes,
including
senior
housing
and
a
community
homeless,
shelter
that
helps
homeless
people
get
back
on
their
feet
already,
putting
basically
the
largest
RV
transitional
housing
site
and
concentrating
it
in
this.
Z
AA
Yeah
I,
this
is
Isaac
I
just
want
to
I'm
talking
I'm
calling
in
regards
to
the
eih
in
South
South,
San
Jose.
So
I
would
like
to
urge
the
the
city
council
to
reconsider,
bringing
more
eih
to
the
to
our
area,
and
just
it's
just
unfair.
So
that's
all
I'm
gonna
say
please,
please
we
all
were
asking
for
is
for
fair
distribution.
Thank
you.
AB
AB
I
would
like
you
to
not
pursue
the
1300
Berryessa
Road
safe
RV
park
because
of
the
following
reasons:
the
first
one
is
because
you're,
basically
just
moving
blight
to
another
concentrated
area
of
light
you're,
not
solving
the
problem,
because
that
area
that
you
plan
to
move
the
RVs
to
is
a
flood
zone.
I,
don't
know.
If
any
of
you
are
aware.
AC
AB
AB
I
urge
you
to
think
of
more
permanent
Solutions,
maybe
rent
out
some
of
the
existing
empty
buildings
in
the
neighborhood
and
use
that
money
more
wisely,
because
what
happened
was
that
lane
was
sold
for
23
million,
and
now
the
city
is
planning
to
lease
it
back
for
18.9
million
dollars
right
so
I,
don't
think!
That's
a
very
wise
use
of
the
city's
funds.
N
AB
AD
Yes,
thank
you.
My
name
is
Thomas
Knight
mayor
and
City
Council
Members
I
want
to
voice
my
support
for
the
safe
parking
and
interim
housing
sites.
These
are
crucial
initiatives
and
addressing
the
homelessness
issue
in
our
city.
However,
my
support
comes
with
a
strong
caveat.
These
initiatives
should
not
be
supported
by
any
reallocation
of
measuring
funds.
Furthermore,
I
object
to
the
creation
of
no
parking
zones.
AD
Such
zones
exclude,
or
these
some
of
these
projects
exclude
participants
such
as
the
safe
parking
on
doing
due
to
restrictions
that
those
individuals
may
have,
and
you
know
they
push
these
residents
further
into
the
periphery.
This
is
counter
to
the
housing
first
model,
which
stands
for
providing
stable
housing
without
preconditions
or
barriers.
AD
Let's
reassess
the
Implement
implications
of
no
parking
zones
and
strive
to
ensure
everyone,
regardless
of
their
circumstances,
has
access
to
Safe
accessible
options.
While
we
work
towards
providing
more
permanent,
Solutions
together,
I
believe
we
can
ensure
the
principles
of
inclusivity
and
compassion
and
uphold
the
standards
of
the
city
of
San
Jose.
Thank
you
very
much.
C
C
AE
Hi,
yes,
hi
I'm,
also
one
of
the
residents
from
around
the
District
Two
district
10
areas,
I've
been
following
this
very
closely:
I
work
around
I
visit,
other
neighborhoods,
as
you
know,
part
of
my
job
and
without
getting
to
specifics.
I,
definitely
see
that
there
are
other
areas
that
could
be
tripping
in
to
help
out
this
crisis.
AE
If
you
guys,
could
consider
our
districts
and
add
some
protections
to
our
streets,
increase
policing,
resources
to
this
area
help
keeper
streets,
clean,
I,
think
that'd
be
great,
as
taxpayers
I
feel
like.
We
contribute
a
lot
already,
and
you
know
we
just
ask
that
we
get
our
neighborhoods
cleaned
up
as
well
in
the
process.
Instead
of
just
continuing
to
add
to
the
polite
safety,
like
every
other
neighborhood,
is
a
concerned
I'm
not
asking
to
mess
up
any
other
people's
neighborhoods,
but
to
Simply
distribute
an
equitable
way.
Thank
you.
A
Thank
you,
and
just
before
we
jump
into
the
council
discussion
and
deliberation.
I
want
to
start
by
thanking
staff.
Thank
you,
Omar
Jim
or
Paul
Matt,
lash,
Kevin
ice,
Jackie,
Morrell's
friend,
Reagan
Henninger,
and
all
the
many
other
staff
members
who
have
done.
What
is
you
know,
frankly,
thankless
difficult,
but
really
incredibly
important,
work
to
help
us
find
a
pathway
to
addressing
unsheltered
homelessness
in
our
community.
A
We
are
making
a
decision,
even
if
it
doesn't
feel
like
we're
making
an
affirmative
decision.
We
are,
in
fact
making
a
decision
to
leave
folks
out
on
our
streets
in
tents
and
vehicles
already
in
our
neighborhoods
already
along
our
trails
and
parks
and
creeks
and
Commercial
districts
and
our
on-house
communities
there.
A
Those
folks
are
are
already
there
and
so
to
me,
is
as
complex
as
we
want
to
make
this.
The
the
when
you
really
boil
it
down
it's
a
question
of.
Are
we
going
to
continue
to
advance
safe,
managed
alternatives
to
the
status
quo,
to
the
unsheltered
encampments
and
the
unmanaged
RVs
that,
frankly,
are
the
biggest
source
of
constituent
complaints
and
calls
that
most
of
us,
if
not
all
of
us,
get
every
day?
A
I
do
want
to
thank
councilor,
Jimenez
and
council
members,
Davis
Torres
and
Dewan
in
particular,
for
representing
districts
that
have
taken
on
the
Lion's
Share
of
the
solution,
and
they
are
solutions.
The
good
news
here
and
there's
no
there's
no
absence
of
cost
or
absence
of
trade-offs.
There's
no
free
launches
economists
say,
but
the
good
news
is
what
we
have
seen
with
interim
placements
is:
when
we
get
somebody
into
a
stable
environment
where
they
have
their
own
private
space,
where
they
have
privacy
and
stability
and
they
have
access
to
Services.
A
50
percent
have
graduated
to
permanent
housing
so,
and
on
top
of
that,
actually,
let
me
just
add,
when
we
looked
at
the
data
on
calls
for
service
for
12
months
after
a
site
opened
in
that
vicinity
and
compared
it
to
12
months
before,
we
actually
saw
a
reduction
in
calls
for
crime
and
for
blight,
which
actually
makes
a
lot
of
sense
because
we're
getting
people
out
of
unmanaged,
unsafe,
unsheltered
conditions
into
a
managed
environment
with
security
with
services,
with
some
structure
with
the
opportunity
to
turn
their
lives
around.
This
was
also
noted.
A
Council
has
repeatedly
consistently
given
Direction
around
the
need
to
scale
up
these
kinds
of
safe,
managed
placements
as
an
alternative
to
the
crisis
on
our
streets.
We
have
493
eih
beds
operating
today,
204
under
construction
and
a
few
hundred
more
in
the
pipeline.
We're
also
fortunate
to
have
a
governor
who
recognizes
the
need
and
the
success
of
these
interim
Solutions
and
is
willing
to
contribute
200
units.
A
A
A
The
council
implemented
it
I,
don't
even
know
it's
there
and
actually
I
think
you
were
right.
It's
part
of
the
solution.
It's
not
the
whole
solution,
but
it's
better
than
the
alternative,
so
I
just
it.
It's
not
easy.
It
takes
time.
I
think
we
all
agree
that,
to
the
extent
possible,
we
want
to
spread
these
out
as
much
as
we
possibly
can.
But
the
truth
is
we're
very,
very
constrained
and
where
there
are
places
to
provide
these
kinds
of
Alternatives
we've
leased.
A
Motels
we've,
as
you
saw
from
the
map,
got
a
lot
of
little
bubbles
all
over
the
city,
they're
not
perfectly
distributed
I
wish
they
could
be,
but
the
garbage
dump
isn't
perfectly
distributed.
The
location
of
the
jail
isn't
perfectly
distributed.
The
reality
is
solving.
These
problems
is
a
societal
imperative
and
we
can't
always
perfectly
distribute
them
or
mitigate
any
in
all
impacts.
I
will
say
to
one
of
the
public
speakers
that
I'll
turn
to
my
colleagues.
A
I,
do
believe
and
I've
repeated
this
multiple
times
and
we'll
discuss
this
through
the
budget.
My
message
will
be
coming
out
tomorrow
and
councilor
Jimenez,
put
forward
a
budget
document
that
I
really
appreciate
I
do
believe
we
have
a
responsibility
to
be
extremely
proactive
in
ensuring
that
neighborhoods
that
take
on
these
Solutions
are
made
better,
not
worse
off,
and
while
the
data
generally
indicates
that
that
is
the
case,
because
again
we're
moving
people
out
of
unmanaged
environments
to
managed
environments.
A
I
think
that
it
is
incumbent
upon
us
and
the
months
and
years
ahead,
including
through
this
budget
process
in
the
coming
week,
to
continue
to
make
investments
to
proactively
demonstrate
to
neighborhoods
that
they
will
be
made
better
not
worse
off
by
taking
on
these
Solutions.
So
is
it
a
perfect
solution?
A
No,
is
it
a
meaningful
step
forward
to
approve
these
sites
and
keep
scaling
up
interim
safe,
managed
alternatives
to
encampments
and
RVs
absolutely,
and
while
the
99.9
percent
of
our
residents
are
out
at
work
right
now,
going
about
their
days
or
at
school,
I
can
tell
you
from
having
knocked
on
twelve
thousand
doors.
Their
number
one
goal
is
that
we
identify
solutions
to
unmanaged
encampments
and
RVs,
so
we
have
an
opportunity
to
meaningfully
move
the
ball
forward
on
those
Solutions
today,
thanks
again
to
staff
for
bringing
these
sites
forward.
J
F
Great
thank
you
good
afternoon.
Thank
you
so
much
for
for
this
presentation,
and
you
know
thank
you
to
to
Mayor
Mayhem
for
for
actually
thinking,
council,
members
or
districts
who
who
have
who
have
given
who
have
come
up
with
their
fair
share
of
affordable
housing
projects.
Emergency
housing,
you
name
it
shelter,
beds,
I,
have
a
I,
have
a
couple
questions
before
I
before
I
finish
my
comments.
F
AF
AG
F
F
A
AF
Yeah
I
think
the
distinction
that's
being
drawn
if
we
could
pull
up
that
map
slide.
Eight
I
think
the
distinction
is
being
drawn.
Is
that
there's
a
larger
map
that
that
represents
everything?
That's
within
the
municipal
boundaries
of
the
city
of
San
Jose?
That's
emergency
transitional!
That's
this
slide!
That's
up
right
now
and
you
can
see
including
anything
built
by
the
end
of
2021
when
the
report
was
taken.
I
think
what
the
council
member
Torres
is
referring
to
was
actually
a
different
slide
in
here.
That
doesn't
include
that
because
we
didn't
fund
it.
F
A
A
That,
to
me,
is
the
Thousand
new
placements
that
was
part
of
council
Direction
in
March,
as
we've
discussed
when
it
comes
to
helping
the
community
understand
the
distributions
of
solutions
to
homelessness
and
the
perception
of
concentration,
the
perceptions
of
negative
impact,
the
belief
that
only
one
neighborhood
is
taking
on
all
the
solutions
to
homelessness
I
think
the
fairest
most
accurate
way
to
do
that
is
to
take
all
the
land
within
our
city,
boundaries
to
consistently
clarify
the
levels
of
housing.
What
I
think
is
shown
here
is
what
we
would
call
Shelter.
A
It's
transitional,
it's
interim.
It's
not
meant
to
be
a
permanent
housing
solution.
We
are
differentiating
that
from
other
Solutions
such
as
permanent
Supportive,
Housing,
affordable
housing,
market
rate,
housing,
mental
health,
hospitals,
the
jail
all
the
other
places.
People
end
up
and
we're
specifically
saying
when
it
comes
to
transitional
or
or
interim
shelter
in
our
community.
Here
is
the
true
distribution
of
it
because,
frankly
to
say,
it's
all
concentrated
in
one
area
is
not
accurate
and
in
fact
I
would
argue.

Great
thank
you
for
the
staff
presentation
and
I'm
I'm
really
proud,
with
the
engagement
we've
had
in
District
9
over
the
Cherry
Avenue
proposed
emergency
interim
housing.
I
want
to
thank
the
partnership
with
Valley
Water
for
the
potential
use
of
their
property
and
the
negotiations
that
is
hopefully
going
to
make.
AI
All
of
this
happen,
it's
for
a
long
time
in
District,
9
I've
been
concerned
that
we
haven't
had
a
eih
site
or
a
tiny
home
site,
whatever
you
want
to
call
it
interim
housing
site,
because
we
don't
have
a
lot
of
land
and-
and
in
fact
this
isn't
even
our
land.
This
is
Valley
Waters
land
and
with
their
cooperation,
we're
able
to
work
out
the
negotiations
and
house
up
to
a
hundred
units
which
is
fabulous.
AI
We
did
a
lot
of
public
engagement
with
the
District
9
community
and
I
want
to
thank
Dave
Noel,
who
spoke,
who
called
in
earlier
who's
the
president
of
the
Ericsson
neighborhood
association
and
also
the
neighbors
for
a
very
thoughtful
discussion
of
what
the
eih
could
look
like,
what
it
will
mean
to
the
community
and
how
that
will
be
betterment
for
the
unhoused
to
live
in
that
area
and
also
better
for
the
resident
the
neighbors
as
well.
So
I'm
really
excited
to
be
able
to
bring
forth.
Finally,
an
eih
in
District
9..
AI
We
did
a
lot
of
Outreach
to
not
just
the
residents
and
we
extended
our
mailings
to
Beyond,
where
we
normally
do
the
mailings,
but
we
also
hand
delivered
invitations
to
the
businesses
that
surround
that
area
too.
The
businesses
we
didn't
hear
from
very
much,
but
we
will
continue
to
engage
them
and
we
look
forward
to
the
opportunity
to
create
a
community
advisory
committee
when
the
eih
is
up
and
running
so
I
have
a
motion
to
make
and
then
I
have
a
few
questions.
AI
The
I
would
like
to
move
my
memo
that
I
co-authored
with
mayor
the
mayor.
Vice
mayor
council
and
council
member
Cohen
I'd
like
to
move
council
member
batra's
memo
but
modify
item
1B
to
change
the
language
from
presented
to
council
approval
to
pursue
to
instead
present
it
to
council
for
discussion,
because
really
that
just
that
investigates
the
op
the
possibility
of
using
that
site
and
what
that
or
the
the
mile
radius
mile
radius
and
what
that
means.
I'd
like
to
bring
that
back
to
council
I'd,
also
like
to
move
council
member

Sure
so
the
services
that
we
typically
provide
on
the
sites
or
we
provide
case
management.
So
we
work
with
each
individual
to
identify
what
are
their
specific
needs
and
the
whole
idea
of
case
management
on
these
sites
is
really
to
match
up
those
services
with
those
particular
needs,
and
so
it
could
vary
depending
upon
the
individual,
because
each
individual
in
each
individual
is
evaluated
to
identify
what
their
specific
requirements
are.
AI
AG
Secondly,
how
what
are
your
health
concerns
and
identifying
if
you're
connected
to
any
kind
of
Health
Care
Service
would
be
another
one
food?
What
do
you
have
nutritious
food?
Do
you
know
how
to
cook
what
you
need
to
be
able
to
have
access
to,
because
there
are
shared
cooking
facilities
in
in
the
The
Place
clothing,
kids,
if
they're
in
and
most
of
these
sites,
don't
but
I'm
thinking
of
the
Evans
Lane,
where
we
have
kids
and
what
their
specific
needs
are
Transportation.
AG
How
do
you
get
to
the
site
from
places
that
you
need
to
get
to
and
then,
of
course,
the
housing
piece?
So
what
are
you
thinking
about
in
terms
of
housing?
Do
you
have
a
relative?
Do
you
have
friends?
Are
you
looking
for
shared
housing?
Do
you
qualify
and
have
you
been
evaluated
for
the
whole
Continuum
of
Care
and
the
services
of
housing
that
we
may
provide,
which
is
permanent?
Supportive
Housing
or
rapid
rehousing,
which
are
rental
subsidies
as
well.
AG
Thank
you.
It's
really
a
full
gamut
of
trying
to
figure
out
what
the
what
the
person
is
eligible
for
and
then
if
they
need
any
additional
Services
substance,
abuse
mental
health
and,
of
course,
for
those
we're
really
dependent
upon
the
Public
Health
Care
system
for
that
and
that
I
would
say
can
be
challenging
because
when
people
are
are
ready,
you
want
to
have
a
slot
ready
and
that's
not
always
available.
Thank.
AI
You
that
that
is
really
helpful
for
you
to
go
through
that
list
for
us
and
for
the
community
to
see
what
kind
of
wraparound
Services
you're
talking
about
in
these
units
and
not
that
we're
dropping
them
there
and
that's
the
end
of
that
and
so
that
they
we
understand
all
of
the
different
services
available.
Can
you
tell
me
when
it
comes
to
counseling
and
case
management?
What
kind
of
hours
of
operation
they
would
have
on
the
site
in
general?
AI
AG
They
generally
have
Services
my
Friday,
but
I've
been
there
on
the
weekends
as
well
I
mean
there's
always
a
staff
person
during
the
day
to
be
able
to
provide
an
interaction
or
a
service.
Having
previewed
a
report
that
you
all
will
be
seeing
in
the
fall,
there
is
some
discussion
also
about
how
do
we
use
volunteers
more
effectively,
especially
around
the
neighborhood
of
people
who
might
be
interested
in
providing
additional
support
to
the
people
that
are
living
there
and
I?
AG
Think
if
we
had
additional
capacity
to
think
about
like
how
we
might
be
able
to
utilize
people
that
are
in
our
community
to
help
and
to
make
a
better
connection
to
people
who
are
living
there.
I
think
that's
a
huge
opportunity.
We
just
haven't
had
the
time
and
the
energy
to
really
explore,
but
I
do
think.
There's
a
lot
of
exciting
opportunity.
There.
That's.
AI
Really
a
good
point,
because
we
get
residents
all
the
time
who
want
to
volunteer
and
help,
and
they
don't
know
how
and
we
don't
know
how
to
direct
affect
them.
So
if
you
have
volunteer
opportunities
and
ideas,
please
let
us
know,
because
we
do
have
people
in
the
community
who
who
want
to
give
back
in
any
way.
Thank
you
for
that.
The
last
question
I'll
ask
because
I
know
my
time
is:
shortening
is
the
security.
What
kind
of
security
do
we
see
at
these
sites.
AG
So
for
all
the
sites
or
the
majority
of
the
sites,
right
now
we
have
24
7
security.
We
again
when
you
see
that
report
come
back
in
the
fall,
we're
going
to
provide
you
different
options
for
security.
We
have
the
24
7
security,
because
that's
how
we,
when
we
originally
brought
these
models
to
council,
we
asked.
Did
you
want
the
low
service
low
security
model?
Or
do
you
want
the
best
that
we
can
provide?
And
you
all
said
we
want
the
best,
and
so
it
does.
AG
You
know
as
a
result,
it
is
24
7
and
security
we
have
found
is
really
the
most
expensive
one
of
the
most
expensive
cost
drivers
at
these
facilities.
We've
also
learned
that
the
residents
inside
really
appreciate
the
security
as
well,
so
it's
kind
of
an
interesting
Dynamic,
but
it
is
one
place
where
we
could
reduce
costs.
If
we
thought
about
different
models.
AI
Great,
thank
you
very
much
and
and
just
in
closing
I'd
like
to
thank
you
and
Omar
and
Jim,
and
the
whole
staff
for
coming
up
with
a
really
good,
viable
solution
for
being
able
to
establish
an
emergency
interim
housing
facility
in
District.
9.
I
am
proud,
frankly,
that
we're
able
to
help
our
unhoused
residents
in
this
way
and
I
want
to
thank
the
Erickson
neighborhood
for
being
open
to
this
solution.
Thank
you.
AI
A
J
I
want
to
thank
staff
for
all
the
work
and
I
know
this.
This
is
a
never-ending
work,
but
there's
a
lot
that's
gone
into
preparing
for
today
and
and
I
appreciate
everything
that
your
the
team
has
done
on
multiple
fronts:
I'm
going
to
follow
one
more
question
kind
of
along
the
lines
of
what
councilmember
Foley
was
just
asking.
What
I
think
what
many
people
are
curious,
always
ask
about?
AF
We
haven't
worked
all
of
the
details
for
the
supportive
parking
site,
but
the
objective,
as
I
mentioned
during
the
presentation
that
there
there
was
a
prior
Council
direction,
that
essentially
Council
offices
in
districts
that
support
RV
parking
become
the
focus
for
for
where
those
sites
come
from.
So
one
of
the
criteria
will
be
where
they
are
and
then
again
the
model
for
that
particular
option
is
trying
to
bring
people
as
a
group
and
lower
the
barriers.
AF
I
think
there
was
a
comment
on
the
during
the
call
lower
the
barriers
that
people
need
to
get
onto
those
sites,
so
we'll
still
work
it
out.
That
housing
department
will
take
the
lead
on
working
that
piece
out
a
bit
as
we
get
going.
But
but
that's
that
piece
and
then
Jackie
can
give
you
a
screening
information
on
the
interim.
AG
So
it
actually
Omar's
description
is
not
much
different
than
what
we
did
with
the
emergency
interim
sites,
which
is
we
made
a
commitment
to
all
the
council
areas
where
you
set,
where
we
cite
that
we
always
go
to
encampments
that
are
in
the
surrounding
neighborhoods,
and
we
work
with
the
council
districts
to
identify
wetter
encampments
in
that
area
that
we
will
invite
into
the
facility
first
as
these
facilities
mature.
Then
we
have
open
slots
and
what
we've
managed
to
do,
because
the
city
is
paying
for
the
majority
of
these.
AG
Is
that
we're
able
to
use
the
interim
sites
strategically
when
we
work
on
different
projects
so
for
the
Guadalupe
you
know
we
were
able
part
of
the
success
of
that
project.
Was
we
were
able
to
use
the
interim
sites
that
were
available,
regardless
of
where
they
were
to
move
people
into
those
sites,
so
that
we
could
clear
out
a
targeted
encampment
that
it
was
also
true
for
the
evacuee
transition
site?
AG
So
we
had
92
people
living
in
tents
on
the
interim
facilities,
but
we
needed
to
move
them
out
and
we
utilized
all
the
interim
emergency
interim
housing
sites
across.
So
it
is
really
important
to
note
that,
while
the
priority
is
when
we
open
them
up
to
get
your
residence
in,
we
do
use
these
sites
strategically.
When
we
have
special
projects
and
when
it's
important
I.
AG
AG
We've
resisted
doing
that,
because
then
it
creates
a
barrier
for
people
to
enter
the
sites,
and
so
my
preference
is
when
we
come
back
in
the
fall
with
a
very
detailed
here's,
how
we
plan
to
operate
these
sites
and
operate
them
consistently,
that
we
provide
more
clarity
on
that
or
when
this
contract
comes
back,
because
we'll
still
have
to
have
a
provider
for
these
sites.
We
can
provide
more
clarity
on
the
selection,
okay,.
J
Thank
you.
As
many
know,
I've
been
talking
a
lot
about
the
the
RV
parking
problem
in
North,
San,
Jose
I
think
North
San
Jose
may
be,
if
not
the
most
one
of
the
most
impacted
locations
in
the
city.
As
far
as
RVs
all
over
the
streets
and
to
give
some
examples,
we
have
a
business
district
in
North,
San
Jose,
with
a
lot
of
our
visa
on
the
street
and
businesses
are
leaving.
Businesses
are
telling
us
they
won't
renew
their
leases.
J
They're
the
people
who
own
the
property
are
worried
about
losing
their
lease
Revenue,
because
there
are
RVs
there
and
they
can't
bring
cust
clients.
People
can't
bring
clients
into
the
site.
We
also
have
just
on
the
border
near
the
Berryessa
location,
but
about
two
miles
away
is
where
Independence
High
School
is.
We
have
a
lot
of
RVs
parked
along
the
back
of
Independence
High
School
on
education,
Park
Drive,
the
residents
in
the
neighborhood
are
upset
about
it.
J
One
other
example:
we
get
RVs
parked
in
the
community
center
parking
lot
and
then
people
are
bringing
their
families
and
going
to
community
center
and
they're
uncomfortable,
and
so
you
know
the
concern
about
who's
in
RVs.
Well,
the
RVs
are
out
in
prominent
places
that
people
are
frequenting
and
the
idea
is
to
find
a
place
that
will
that
will
give
the
services
that
RVs
need
and
offer
them
a
space.
So
I've
been
pushing
for
expanding
our
number
of
places.
We
look
for
look
at
when
we
look
at
RV
and
eih.
J
We
had
originally
focused
on
public
lands,
as
we
know
and
and
those
weren't
always
the
most
appropriate.
So
fortunately,
you
know
we
talked
about
expanding
to
private
sites.
I
wanted
to
ask
Nancy
a
couple
questions
as
we
look
at
private
sites
around
the
city
and
we
search
for
locations.
Can
you
just
talk
a
little
bit
about
the
complexity?
What
you
have
to
go
through
and
what?
What's
out
there.
AJ
Good
afternoon,
Nancy
Klein.
Thank
you
very
much
from
economics
development.
For
for
the
question,
the
search
for
sites
is
extensive
and
it's
multi-year.
As
you
mentioned,
we
have
consistently
and
still
look
at
any
publicly
owned
sites
and
have
conversations
with
the
agencies.
We
have
also
pursued
many
sites
throughout
the
city,
understanding
that
we're
trying
to
spread
the
sites
as
equitably
as
possible.
AJ
The
criteria
for
sites
is
extensive
that
begins
with
Trying
to
minimize
any
impact
on
housing
or
schools
in
adjacent
areas,
there's
clearly
more
housing
and
schools
than
there
are
sites
that
are
empty
throughout
the
city.
We
look
for
sites
that
have
great
surface
areas
paved,
preferably
that
have
a
minimum
number
of
buildings,
Bary
acidis,
6.3
Acres.
Without
any
buildings
on
it,
which
is
rare.
We
also
look
for
sites
of
size
which
are
hard
to
find.
Often
we
find
sites
that
are
one
and
a
half
or
two
acres
which
provide
limited
opportunity
to
serve.
AJ
We
look
for
sites
that
have
good
access
in
and
out
of
them,
we
look
for
sites
that
are
Level.
We
look
for
sites
that
have
utilities
that
can
be
easily
pulled,
for
example,
and
that's
just
part
of
the
list,
and
that
decreases
the
cost
to
get
the
sites
up
and
maintained
and,
of
course,
working
closely
with
many
other
departments,
including,
most
importantly,
housing,
but
Department
of
Transportation
and
public
works
as
well.
So
we've
had
many
many
sites.
AJ
We
continue
in
North
San
Jose,
particularly
we
have
Brokers
which
are
scouring
sites
we
check
in
with
them
weekly.
We
also
have
talked
to
several
building
owners
and
without
naming
names
to
date,
every
single
one
of
them
has
been
opposed
for
a
variety
of
insurance
or
future
tenant
access
reasons.
Predominantly.
AK
J
I'll
get
in
maybe
in
my
next
round
of
questions
or
comments.
I'll
get
to
some
talk
about.
Why
I
think
that
this
site
at
barrisa
road
is
particularly
a
good
site
for
this
I'm.
Just
going
to
comment
a
little
bit
about
you
know,
I've
been
pushing
for
more
sites
in
North,
San,
Jose
I'm.
Glad
Cerrone
remains
at
the
top
of
the
list.
I
hope
that
colleagues
on
VTA
will
continue
to
push
DTA
to
make
that
deal
I'm,
also
working
with
members
of
the
legislature
and
others
to
put
some
pressure
on
VTA
as
well.
J
To
make
this
deal
if
you've
seen
I
saw
the
picture
you'll
see
that
this
VTA
has
a
huge
property
with
a
lot
of
empty
space.
We've
already
had
a
community
meeting
up
there,
which
was
well
received
I,
think
it's
a
great
site
and
we
do
need
emergency
interim
housing
in
North
San
Jose,
and
this
would
be
great
because
it's
far
enough
in
North
San
Jose
that
we
can
actually
begin
to
work
with
folks
that
live
in
Alviso
and
other
places.
J
Now
we
learned
I've
learned
in
talking
to
some
folks
who
talk
to
the
people
in
these
encampments
there's
a
resistance
in
Moving
Too,
Far
people
who
have
set
routes
in
an
area
and
they
don't
actually
want
Even.
If
we
open
another
site
in
South,
San
Jose
people
who
are
now
in
Alviso
or
North
San
Jose
are
unlikely
to
accept
that
service.
We
need
to
have
locations
that
are
distributed
around
the
city
for
the
that
people
will
have
will
have
more
incentive
to
go
and
I'm
just
going
to
comment.
J
AG
That
will
be
one
of
the
what
items
that
we
can
catch
with
all
of
the
providers,
which
is
how
they
handle
the
ongoing
need
and
and
the
message
is
that
we
are
housing.
First,
we
want
people
to
be
able
to
stay,
but
we
also
want
people
to
be
working
on
trying
to
you
know
to
find
a
solution
to
end
their
homelessness
and.
X
AG

J
A
Great
thanks,
councilmember
and
I
really
do
appreciate
of
your
proactive
advocacy
and
engagement
with
the
community
around
both
Berryessa
and
the
Cerrone
sites
and
I
agree.
The
Cerrone
site
would
be
a
great
fit
for
the
state,
tiny
homes
and
other
interim
housing.
Let's
go,
we
have
councilmer
batra
is
next.
E
AI
E
I
E
Have
a
chance
to
learn
all
that?
Okay,
so
thank
you
very
much
for
the
staff
for
doing
all
the
analysis
and
the
reports
which
you
have
been
presenting
and
I
myself
have
seen.
The
eih,
Jackie
and
Jim
orbital
gave
me
a
tour
on
the
25th
of
March
after
joining
here
on
the
30th
of
Jan,
and
that
was
an
extensive
tour.
I
not
only
got
to
see
the
site.
E
So,
having
seen
all
that
I'm
pretty
impressed
with
the
fact
that
you
have
studied
what
does
it
take
to
take
a
homeless
person,
give
them
a
shelter
and
then
take
them
to
a
permanent
shelter
or
a
permanent
housing,
as
you
will
call
it?
What
I
do
have
some
trouble
with
and
I
will
come
to
those?
After
my
questions,
I'm
going
to
ask
a
few
questions
on
30th
of
May,
we
had
a
meeting
with
our
District
people,
District
2010..
E
AF
Because
we're
about
your
Omar
passions
again,
so
the
I
think
the
meeting
that
you're
referring
to
there
were
people
who
had
I
think
some
objections
about
the
number
of
interim
housing
sites
in
districts
2
and
10.
There
were
people
who
expressed
concerns
about
issues
that
that,
from
their
perception
were
in
proximity
of
varying
wits
and
links
to
the
to
the
interim
housing
location.
Those
are
the
the
two
foundational
ones
that
I
remember,
I,
think
there
there
may
have
been
one
more
that
I'm
missing
right.
Now,
though,.
E
We
need
to
be
able
to
dispel
that
with
the
data,
if
you're
claiming
that
they
are
almost
equally
distributed
or
they
will
get
equally
distributed
over
time,
because
these
are
not
the
only
eih
or
the
temporary
housing
we're
going
to
create
after
multiple
requests,
you
have
been
able
to
assemble
the
slide
10,
which
did
not
exist
till
about
two
days
ago,
when
we
talked
on
Friday.
So
thanks
a
lot
for
working
over
the
weekend
and
trying
to
get
all
that
stuff
done
so
I
think
slide
10
of
yours.
If
you
can
pull
it
up
so.
E
Has
the
No
No
the
slide
10,
which
shows
the
table
or
data
in
terms
of
where
you're
going
in
terms
of
the
number
of
number
of
each
one
of
those
units
where
they
are
what
they
are
under
construction?
What's
likely
to
be
recommended,
this
slide
has
not
existed
till
the
Friday
when
we
talked
about
4
30.
So
this
is
your
creation
after
4
30
Friday,
which
I
appreciate,
because
this
does
give
people
a
chance
to
understand
where
things
are
going.
E
Okay
and
addressing
the
concerns
which
were
expressed
there,
concentration
was
one,
but
the
bigger
concern
was
concentration
really
doesn't
matter
if
the
site
is
as
clean
as
what
I
have
seen.
If
the
people
know
it,
and
also
they
don't
see
the
inside
of
the
site
every
day,
what
they
see
is
the
outside.
We
have
been
very
reluctant
to
make
any
commitment
about
how
clean
the
area
around
it
would
be.
E
What
people
have
been
asking
is
that
hey
you're,
taking
care
of
the
people
who
are
going
to
be
residing
inside
but
you're,
not
taking
care
of
us
who
are
accommodating
them,
you're,
not
willing
to
promise
that
you
will
keep
the
area
as
clean
as
it
was
before
in
one
mile
radius.
I
think
that
is
the
concern.
It
is
not
a
concern
that
you
have
had
in
the
detour
and
d10
people
who
were
extremely
supportive.
They
were
actually
promoters,
but
they
have
turned
against
us.
E
They
have
become
unsupportive.
Then
they
expressed
their
own
support
in
that
meeting,
not
because
these
people
are
not
living
in
the
right
place
or
they
don't
deserve
to
live
in
the
right
way.
It
is
because
we
have
been
reluctant
to
make
a
promise
that
we
will
keep
the
place
clean
around
this
area.
We
will
not
have
another
encampment
which
we
haven't
been
able
to
promise
there,
but
we
are
going
to
be
promising
that
on
the
Cherry
Avenue
situation
in
D9,
they're
asking.
Why
not
us
have
the
same
thing.
E
So
I
totally
agree
the
direction
we
are
going
in
terms
of
wanting
more
eih,
even
in
D2
and
d10,
but
why
I
have
a
trouble
with
this
that
we
are
not
able
to
promise
the
things
which
these
supporters
want,
and
that
is
the
reason
why
I
wrote
this
memo
and
asking
for
it
that
the
cost
benefit
analysis
must
include
the
additional
services
for
the
cost
or
for
the
cleanliness
around
this
area
in
a
one
mile
radius.
So
we
will
have
a
tremendous
support
mayor
in
terms
of
being
able
to
place
these
eih
wherever
we
want.
E
A
Thanks
for
your
comments,
council,
member
and
I
will
just
note
that
there
will
be
thanks
to
an
MBA
at
a
BD
from
councilor
Jimenez
and
prior
memos
and
discussion
at
the
council,
including
some
memos,
I,
I,
co-authored
or
authored
myself.
There
will
be
some
discussion
in
the
budget
process
rest
of
the
budget
process
around
the
notion
of
enhanced
Services,
though,
as
you
can
see
in
the
MBA
that
covers
that,
it's
not
a
an
inexpensive
proposition
right.
E
A
I
do
agree
with
your
point
that,
for
lack
of
a
better
term,
we
need
to
be
able
to
Market
these
sites
and
demonstrate
that
they
really
clearly
make
neighborhoods
better,
not
worse
off,
which
they
generally
do.
But
it's
not
a
good
selling
point
when
you
have
an
RV
or
tent
down
the
street
yeah.
That
is
noted
any
other.
Yes,.
E
That's
my
sermon,
my
dictation.
Whatever,
in
order
to
be
successful,
we
need
to
be
able
to
go
with
the
complete
package
which
says:
yes,
we
will
maintain
this
neighborhood
with
this
level
of
cleanliness
and
this
level
of
crime
reports
less
fire
report
less
because
there
are
medical
calls
exceeding
than
before.
We
talk
about
police
calls.
Yes,
they
are
fever,
but
the
medical
calls
increase,
because
people
are
sick,
so
we
gotta
take
care
of
them.
E
D
Thank
you,
mayor,
I'm,
extremely
thankful
to
the
various
teams
who
work
to
produce
the
item,
we're
hearing
today,
be
it
our
real
estate
division,
of
course,
prns
staff,
City,
manager's
office
and
and
public
works
and,
of
course,
housing
I'm
grateful
for
everyone's
coordination
and
dedication
to
ensure
that
we're
treating
our
unhoused
community
with
dignity.
Meanwhile,
balancing
any
sort
of
safety
concerns
within
our
our
residents.
This
is
not
an
easy
task,
as
we've
heard
during
public
comment,
but
I
want
to
applaud
you
all
for
working
through
the
challenges
that
present
that
continue
to
present
themselves.
D
Even
for
future
projects.
I
myself
am
supportive
of
you
know.
Both
permanent
and
temporary
housing,
including
eihs
and
I'll,
continue
to
make
well
I
will
make
sure
that
District
5
does
its
fair
share
when
the
time
comes
for
us
to
support
it.
We've
all
seen
you
know
the
impact
of
the
the
houseless
crisis.
You
know
you
see
it
right
outside
City
Hall
and
for
that
reason,
I'm
I'm
personally
going
to
be
supporting
the
motion
made
by
council
member
Foley
and,
as
we
work
to
you
know
prop
up.
D
Eih
is
and
more
supportive
parking
sites
and
permanent
housing
sites,
I'm
also
interested
in
in
working
with
staff
to
see
if
we
could
identify
some
sort
of
metric
or
checklist
that
will
allow
us
to
start
addressing
sort
of
Bad
actors
that
we
see
in
in
certain
neighborhoods.
We
all
have
them,
and
you
know
I
don't
want
to.
You
know
Target
all
that
in
the
house
Community,
but
in
certain
areas
of
District
Five.
There
are
some
issues
and
I
believe
that
there
needs
to
be
some
sort
of
strategy
to
move
forward.
D
AF
P
AF
Had
raised
one
point
and
we
have
Jen
codian
from
Valley
Water
here
we
may
not
need
her
to
to
provide
questions,
but
they've
been
a
really
good
partner
and
one
of
his
questions
about
why
there's
a
water
resources,
protection
Zone
in
one
area
and
not
another.
It's
just
useful
to
know
that
it's
a
very,
very
sensitive
area
and
the
the
state
water
board
is
sort
of
requiring
certain
things
and
and
so
there's
a
reason
that
that
particular
area
is
being
moved
forward.
So
I
just
wanted
to
clarify
that
point.
E
Thanks
for
the
clarification
all
I'm
saying,
is
those
people
in
those
areas
they're
looking
for
the
same
kind
of
cleanliness
and
anywhere
wherever
we
have
that
ability.
We
should
be
proposing
that
with
those
sites,
because
our
goal
is
to
get
more
sites
and
that's
a
way
to
get
it
rather
than
create
hard
feelings
over
there.
Okay,
okay.
E
B
So
it's
it's
something
that
didn't
go
forward
and
that's
the
reason
during
this
budget
cycle
I
continued
to
try
to
resurface
that
and
so
I
appreciate
you
being
on
the
same
page
with
that,
because
I
think
we
need
to
show
the
residents
that,
if
they're
willing
to
take
on
some
of
these
locations,
that
they
can
count
on
enhanced
Services
support
for
their
community.
So
that
way
they
can
get
more.
We
get
more
buy-in
from
them
and
so
I
appreciate
you
lifting
that
up.
B
I
also
just
wanted
to
appreciate
council,
member
Foley
and
members
of
the
brown
act
for
their
willingness
to
adopt
or
include
the
memo
that
I
wrote
as
it
relates
to
removing
the
Burnell
side.
I
also
want
to
thank
I,
know,
there's
folks
from
Valley
Water,
obviously
in
The
District
9
site,
certainly
council,
member
Foley,
council,
member
Cohen.
B
Obviously
councilmember
Torres
is
fairly
new
to
the
council,
but
former
council
member
Raul,
Perales,
I'm,
sure
and
I
know
Doug
Davis,
council
members,
Davis
has
has
really
been
some
of
the
leaders
in
this
space,
and
so
we
appreciate
you
all
joining
hands
with
us
and
saying
that
we
wanna
that
you
all
want
to
be
part
of
the
solution
and
and
move
this
forward.
So
I
I
greatly
appreciate
that
I
know
if
there's
residents
of
mine,
listening
I'm
sure
they're
appreciative
of
your
efforts
and
and
we
we
thank
you
for
that,
I
think.
B
It's
just
important
to
not
go
unnoticed
as
it
relates
to
the
Cerrone
site,
the
VTA
site
in
North
San
Jose
I
want
to
tell
you
that
I
am
super
excited
about
it.
It's
a
big
site,
I
know
last
week
it
was
it
seems
like
for
ages
ago.
Last
week
at
the
VTA
meeting
I
know
there
was
a
memo
authored
by
the
mayor
me
and
and
councilmember
Foley,
to
bring
forward
the
discussion
on
Cerrone
to
to
essentially
make
VTA
sort
of
act
a
little
bit
more
urgently
on
the
matter.
AF
B
It's
the
29th
of
June
with
ATU
members,
which
is
the
largest
bargaining
unit
at
VTA,
to
educate
them
about
what
eihs
are
what
they,
what
it
means
to
have
one
of
those
and
really
to
try
to
get
buying
and
to
allay
some
of
the
fears
that
they
may
have.
That
has
prevented
the
site
from
moving
forward,
and
so
I
am
fully
supportive
of
doing
everything.
I
can
as
a
board
member
as
I'm
sure
others
up
here
are
as
well
to
try
to
get
that.
B
Finally,
across
the
finish
line
and-
and
so
I
so
I
hope
to
to
be
celebrating
that
really
soon,
and
so
with
that
I
had
other
comments.
I
had
a
bunch
of
numbers
written
down
things,
I
was
gonna,
I
was
gonna,
get
a
slide,
ten,
nine
and
five.
You
know,
but
I'm
not
gonna,
do
all
that,
but
I
I
very
much
appreciate
all
the
work.
B
I
know
this
isn't
easy
to
do
and
I
know
you
often
have
to
have
a
lot
of
meetings
with
us
with
the
with
the
community
and
we
have
to
I
I.
We
often
I
know
I've
done
it
have
to
tell
the
community
that
you're
simply
the
messenger
and
we're
the
ones
sending
you
out
to
do
some
of
this
work,
and
so
I
appreciate
the
resilience
that
you've
shown
going
into
the
lines
done
time
and
time
again
willing
to
take
some
of
those
hits.
B
A
A
I
I
do
I
just
want
to
make
sure
just
before
I
forget
that
we
do
ask
staff
what,
if
any
risks
or
cautions
anyone
need
to
be
aware
of
of
taking
Bernal
off
as
a
removing
it
as
a
backup
option,
at
least
for
now.
What
just
help
us
understand,
what
the
200
units
from
the
state
and
the
timeline
just
want
to
make
sure
we
have
complete
information,
yeah.
AF
Thank
you,
Mr
Mayor.
That
I
think
the
thing
for
people
to
know
is
that
there
really
are
just
some
really
just
flat
out
trade-offs.
The
governor
essentially
said
in
his
message
announcing
this.
We
want
to
do
this
now.
We
want
to
help
you
now
we
want
to
pay
for
this
now.
We
want
to
design
this
now
and
so
part
of
our
challenge.
AF
Jim
and
I
have
been
working
with
with
the
Department
of
General
Services
of
the
state,
and
they
have
essentially
said
there
are
four
jurisdictions
who
get
these
and
we're
going
to
work
as
quickly
as
we
can
with
the
ones
that
are
ready,
and
so
some,
if
we
can't
get
Cerrone
and
Cherry,
which,
by
the
way
is
our
go-to.
We
are
pushing
hard
not
having
that
backup.
May
create
a
situation
where
we
just
don't
get
where
we
in
the
extreme,
where
we
don't
get
to
use
those
units.
AH
Need
to
add
to
that
Jim
I'd
add
a
couple
of
things
too.
The
motion
also
has
slot
roof
Ferrari
and
is
the
backup
and
as
I
reported
the
council
during
my
presentation,
we're
we're
well
into
design
we're
moving
to
complete
the
design
to
get
it
out
to
an
RFP
process
early
this
summer.
We're
coordinating
those
designs
with
Caltrans
now,
and
we
intend
to
continue
down
that
path
unless
the
council
tells
us
to
hold
off
because
it
might
be
used
as
a
tobacco.
But
we
continue
to
proceed
forward
there.
A
Actually
appreciate
you
mentioning
that
Jim
and
I'll,
let
you
finish
your
thought,
but
I
I
do
want
us
to
just
note
that
we
may
need
to
entertain
a
friendly
amendment.
I
forgot
about
that
wrinkle
around
how
far
you
are
with
Rue
Ferrari
and
that
it's
not
actually
currently,
at
least
without
some
significant
change
in
incurring
some
costs.
It's
not
actually
a
viable
backup
option.
Well,.
AH
And
I
I
guess
I
would
say
this
it
could.
It
could
be
if
we
just
stopped
doing
what
we're
doing,
but
the
I
think
the
really
unique
opportunity
about
the
roof
Ferrari
is
much
of
the
expansion
is
happening
within
the
current
perimeter,
so
we're
not
expanding
too
far
out
on
the
site.
Yes,
we
are
expanding.
Some
I
think
we're
making
a
very
efficient
use
of
that
site,
a
lot
of
it
within
it.
AH
Don't
recall
off
the
top
of
my
head,
the
exact
size
of
it,
but
so
if
we
were
to
use
that
as
a
backup,
if
we
had
to
go
to
the
backup
ceroni
didn't
work
for
some
reason,
that
would
be
the
area
that
I
think
I
would
focus
on
with
the
state,
not
the
area
within
the
perimeter
fence
or
the
area
that
we
have
designed.
Public
Works
already
has
an
RFQ
to
pre-qualify
contractors
out
so
we're
going
to
be
identifying
those
pre-qualified
firms
early
in
the
summer
and
wanted
to
get
that
out
to
RFP.
AH
That's
been
the
direction
of
the
council
to
try
and
move
on
that
as
quickly
as
possible.
We
do
have
one
other
alternative
site
that
the
council
has
previously
approved,
that
we
still
have
as
an
alternate
the
85,
Great
Oaks
site
and
granted
it's
it's
in
that
area.
But
you
know
my
recommendation
not
having
cleared
this
with
Omar
and
Jennifer,
but
just
letting
you
know
my
thought
is
that
South
End
of
roof
Ferrari
and
85
Great
Oaks
between
that.
If
we
aren't
successful,
hopefully
we
are
at
Cerrone
and
Cherry.
AH
A
AH
The
RFQ
is
already
out,
so
we
are
out
to
pre-qualify
firms.
They
don't
have
the
design
details
that
that
will
come
at
a
later
point,
but
our
level
of
design
now
has
most
of
the
expansion
within
the
exhibit
the
perimeter
fence,
but
we
are
expanding
some
to
the
South
to
the
pg
easement
line,
but
not
south
of
the
PG
e.
So
there
is
a
parcel
at
the
southern
end
that
is
going
to
be
untouched.
Okay,.
A
M
These
two
site
and
I
appreciate
our
council
member
batra
talking
about
keeping
the
area
clean
after
we
establish
the
eih,
but
by
by
having
these
particular
area
activated,
it's
actually
start
cleaning
up
by
removing
RVs
removing
vehicles
and
getting
encampment
off
the
street
right
off
the
bat.
That's
a
win,
and
I
and
I
appreciate
that
very
much
and
and
I'm
very
supportive,
our
council
member
of
Foley
motion
and
again
we
are
taking
a
step
forward.
M
We're
not
taking
a
step
backward
and
I
want
our
citizen
to
understand
somewhere,
somehow
not
in
your
backyard,
but
it
might
be
in
your
front
yard.
So
we
need
to
take
some
type
of
action
to
clean
up
our
street,
help
our
unhoused
residents
back
on
their
feet
and
bring
back
businesses
because
I,
even
in
District
Seven.
There's
multiple
businesses
have
left
D7
because
of
all
the
problem
that
we
have
and
it's
not
to
blame.
Just
the
unhoused
residents,
it's
a
multiple
factors,
but
again
I
Applause
you
for
doing
a
great
job.
Thank
you.
Thank.
A
AL
Sorry
about
that
I
was
wondering:
oh
when's,
my
turn
when's
my
turn
so
I
apologize,
but
I
just
I
also
wanted
to
thank
staff.
You
know
this
is
really
complicated.
Work
I
also
wanted
to
thank
my
colleagues
and
you
know
to
Echo
what
council
member
Jimenez
said.
We
all
want
to
be
part
of
the
solution.
One
of
the
things
about
D1
is
that
there
just
isn't
a
lot
of
land
and
even
on
private
property
they're.
You
know.
As
Nancy
mentioned,
there
are
not
a
lot
of
takers.
AL
You
know
I'm
going
to
the
faith-based
community
to
see
what
we
can
do
for
safe
parking.
So
I
think
that
each
of
us
really
is
trying
to
do
what
we
can
with
what
we
have.
It
is
a
huge
problem.
We
want
these
safe,
manage
environments
in
a
balanced
approach
and
I
think
that
that's
what
the
community
deserves.
That's
what
our
unhoused
community
also
deserves.
I
think
that
they
both
want
to
be
safe
and
they
want
it
in
a
clean
environment.
So
I
agree
with
councilmember
Ultra
that
we're
good.
We
are
making
a
huge
investment.
AL
AL
I
think
that
we
really
need
to
push
in
each
and
every
way
that
we
can
to
help
them
to
provide
what
is
necessary
for
the
the
employees
to
feel
safe
at
the
same
time,
if
there's
needs
for
guards
or
whatever
it
is
to
make
them
feel
safe,
we
should
do
it
because
I
think
that
Cerrone
site
is
ideal
if
we
could
just
get
that
moving.
That
would
be.
The
preference
I
also
think
that
our
friends
at
Santa,
Clara
County,
need
to
be
part
of
the
equation.
AL
I
would
like
to
add
as
a
friendly
Amendment,
if
it's
okay
to
add
the
the
fairgrounds
as
a
potential
lease,
if
we're
able
to
lease
at
least
two
or
more
Acres,
it's
a
big
piece
of
property.
If
we
could
lease
it
for
5
five
years
or
you
know,
I
mean
they're
not
really
going
to
do.
I
don't
think,
have
plans
in
the
next
five
years.
AL
I
think
that
we
should
take
the
leadership
to
go
to
them
and
see
what
we
can
do
as
well
as
direct
staff
to
put
it
on
the
list,
because
I
think
that
the
fairgrounds
could
be
a
potential.
At
least
you
know
temporarily,
for
a
period
of
five
years
or
so
I
think
that
that
would
help
us
quite
a
bit,
and
it
would
also
provide
sort
of
a
way
in
which
the
county
can
also
be
involved
in
providing
the
services
right
there
at
the
fairgrounds.
B
I'll
just
say:
I
accept
it
as
a
friendly
Amendment,
but
I
I
think
the
county
time
and
again
has
has
been
reluctant
to
use
the
fairgrounds
and
so
I.
You
know
I
I'm,
not
interested
just
my
perspective,
interested
in
taking
a
combative
approach
to
that,
because
I
think
we
need
that
relationship
and
we
can't
continue
over
the
years,
I'm
talking
historically
continuing
to
erode
that
relationship
and
so
I'm
supportive
of
it.
AL
Yeah
I,
I,
totally
understand
and
I
think
that
it
does
not
have
to
be
combative.
I
think
that
there
are
ways
in
which
we
could
find
things
that
they
want
to
do
and
participate
in
and
things
that
we
want
as
well
and
I
think
that,
given
our
relationships
with
with
the
supervisors
and
and
and
the
county,
it
might
be
helpful
so
with
that
I
I
really
want
to
appreciate
all
of
what
has
been
said,
and
certainly
the
work
that
the
staff
has
done
has
been
remarkable.
So
thank
you
so
much.
J
Yeah,
thank
you
and
first
I
want
to
thank
the
colleagues
who
have
talked
about
Cerrone
and
thank
you
councilmember
events,
particularly
for
your
sounds
like
leadership
at
VTA
and
trying
to
to
get
people
on
board.
It's
been
frustrating,
obviously
what
we
hear
from
everybody,
whether
it's
neighbors
residential
neighbors
or
other
neighbors
or
VTA
employees.
There's
there's
a
misconception
about
what
an
eih
site
is.
People
I,
I,
think
people
when
they
first
hear
about
something
coming.
J
So
I
want
to
thank
you
on
that.
I
also
want
to
say
I'm
not
done
in
District
Four.
Even
if
Cerrone
is
approved,
I
mean
I,
I
continue
to
feed
sites
to
Nancy
and
her
team.
There's
two
other
sites.
I've
already
talked
to
her
about
and
I'm
hoping
that
maybe
one
of
them
will
pan
out
it'll,
spread
it
out
in
District
Four,
but
also
spread
it
out
in
the
city.
J
So
we
got
to
continue
looking
at
those
sites,
while
I
mean
I,
don't
want
to
add
anything
as
backups
at
this
point,
we're
too
far
away
from
that.
Similarly,
to
the
county
I
mean
my
preference
is
for
us
to
continue
to
have
those
conversations
with
the
county
without
necessarily
explicitly
putting
it
in
an
emotion,
because
we
should
have
those
conversations
find
out
if
they're
amenable
and
then
add
it
to
our
list
of
backups.
But
you
know
that's
a
minor,
a
minor
point
for
me.
J
We
ought
to
continue
looking
for
other
sites
and
continue
to
see
if
we
have
the
resources
to
build
more
interim
housing
or
other
services
just
going
to
say
one
last
thing
about
the
Berryessa
site.
You
know,
there's
been
one
of
the
questions.
That's
been
asked
of
me
this
week
by
people
was
you
fought
so
hard
against
the
site
at
Noble?
Why
are
you
fighting
so
hard
for
the
site
at
Berryessa,
Road
and
I?
You
know
at
Noble.
There
were
four
I
think
you
heard
me
right
at
the
beginning
of
that
conversation.
J
J
The
site
at
Berryessa
is
right
near
BART
and
the
the
Transit
Hub,
which
has
all
of
VTA
coming
into
it,
there's
almost
no
better
site
as
far
as
Transit
number
two,
it's
not
near
it's
over.
It
was
over
a
mile,
almost
a
mile
and
a
half
to
the
nearest
shopping
and
services
for
for
people
who
would
live
at
the
noble
site.
This
one
is
near
a
shopping
center.
People
will
have
resources
and
things
that
they
need
who
are
at
this
site
and
I.
Think
that's
important
number
three.
J
That
site
was
across
the
street
from
a
from
a
nurse
from
a
preschool,
an
elementary
school
and
a
block
from
middle
school
and
two
blocks
from
another
Elementary
School
this
site,
the
nearest
school
is
one
and
a
half
miles
away
from
this
site.
I,
don't
think,
there's
any
other
site
in
the
city.
We've
ever
proposed
for
a
site
like
this.
J
That's
as
far
from
the
nearest
school-
and
you
know,
while
I've
said
I,
don't
think,
there's
incompatibility
necessarily,
if
that's
a
primary
concern
of
our
of
our
residents
of
the
city,
then
this
site
is,
you
know,
alleviates
that
concern
and
obviously
number
four
was
that
site
was
taking.
What
was
a
dedicated
Parkland
open
space
used
heavily
for
Trails,
bringing
people
to
the
penitentiary
Creek
perk
ponds.
J
So
there's
a
there
are
worlds
of
differences
and
and
if
it
can't
be
done
at
this
site,
I,
don't
think
there's
a
site
in
the
city
where
it
can
be
done
so
I
am
committed
to
making
it
work
and
I'm
committed
to
the
residents
of
that
neighborhood
to
making
it
work,
but
I
think
it's
really
a
good
site
for
this
kind
of
service,
so
I'm
appreciative
to
staff
for
finding
it
and
for
making
this
pushing
it
this
far
forward.
Thank
you.
M
It
would
solve
a
lot
of
our
problems,
and
not
only
is
this
putting
RVs
in
there
we're
going
to
use
the
county
land
right
there.
They
can
support
us
by
how
you
know,
wrap
around
services
for
unhoused
residents.
That's
including
drug
rehabilitation
and
mental
illness
and
health
care
and
I.
Definitely
thank
you
for
that
friendly
Amendment
and
support
it.
Thank
you.
A
A
This
is
a
very
meaningful
step
forward
in
our
expansion
of
interim
sites
and
and
will
assuming
we
move
forward
quickly
and
diligently
here,
we'll
we'll
have
a
measurable
notable
impact
on
the
state
of
encampments
and
lived
in
vehicles
in
the
city.
So
I
think
this
is
going
to
be
a
win-win
for
everybody
and
I.
Think
with
that,
we
are
ready
to
vote.

C
Subsequent
to
esd's
supplemental
memorandum
dated
June
2nd
the
city
clerk's
office
has
received
16
additional
residential
garbage
and
recycling
rate
protests.
Therefore,
the
total
number
of
valid
written
protests
is
285
for
the
proposed
residential
garbage
and
recycling
rates,
and
then,
after
the
speakers,
I
have
another
part
of
the
script.
I
C
T
Hi
Blair
Beekman
thanks
a
lot
for
taking
my
public
comment.
I'll
just
quickly
offer
the
importance
of
subsidies
is.
Is
it's
a
really
good
thing
to
be
able
to
talk
about
it
openly
and
good
luck?
How
you
can
be
doing
that
with
this
sort
of
item
to
make
that
clear
to
each
other
in
how
issues
can
be
talked
about
subsidies?
It
really
is
helpful
and
I
hope
it's
a
conversation.
We
don't
fear
having
and
it's
understandable
for
all
of
us
and
everyone
can
feel
safe
about
its
conversation.
Thank
you.
C
Okay,
the
total
of
all
written
protests
during
the
public
protest
period
together
with
the
speaker
who
did
not
sound
like
he
was
protesting.
The
rate
changes
today
represents
less
than
one
percent
of
all
customers
impacted
by
the
change
in
residential
garbage
and
recycling
rates.
Therefore,
Council
may
consider
staff's
recommendation
for
residential
garbage
and
recycling
rate
increases.
A
A
C
It'll
be
the
same
before
and
after
speakers
subsequent
to
ESD,
supplemental
memorandum
dated
June,
2nd
2023,
the
city
clerk's
office
has
received
24
additional
potable
water
rate
protests.
Therefore,
the
total
number
of
valid
written
protests
is
176
for
the
proposed
potable
water
rates.
No
protests
have
been
received
in
response
to
the
proposed
recycled
water
rates
for
public
speakers.
I
have
Steve
benetti.
AM

Why
is
that?
We
would
like
to
see
the
money
trail
of
all
these
entities
from
from
the
local,
the
state,
all
the
dams,
all
this
stuff
I
like
to
see
their
budgets
so
that
we
know
that
you
folks
are
looking
at
this
and
seeing
if
we
can
cut
money
here
or
there
and
they're,
not
overdoing
things
like
the
Orville
Dam
I
mean
they
screwed
up
and
didn't
do
the
the
spillway
right?
How
much
ear
do
we
got
to
pay
for
that
and
who
was
punished?
I,
don't
think
anybody
was.
AM
AM
AM
These
water
districts
is
a
public
Monopoly
I'd
like
to
see
how
much
the
top
10
executives
are
getting
paid.
They
shouldn't
make
any
more
and
our
mayor
and
one
more
thing,
the
the
last
they're
on
telly
road
with
the
in
the
capital.
You
know
why
do
we
have
City
vehicles,
trucks
and
water
company
trucks,
they're
blocking
a
fire
hydrant,
they
block
the.
Thank
you,
the
bicycle
trail.
Oh
got
it.
Thank
you.
C
The
toll
of
all
written
protests
during
the
public
protest
period
together
with
the
speaker
protesting
the
rate
changes
today,
represents
less
than
one
percent
of
all
customers
impacted
by
the
change
in
water
retail
rates.
Therefore,
the
council
may
consider
staff's
recommendation
for
Municipal
Water
System
rate
increases.
A
A
I'm
glad
you're
doing
constituent
services
and
sir,
thank
you
for
coming.
We'll
get
Jeff
right
back
up
to
you
in
a
moment.
I
just
want
to
grill
them
with
a
couple
questions.
First,
so
Jeff
one
thing,
I'm
struggling
with
a
little
bit
is
I
believe
we
were
told
that
part
of
the
rationale
for
rates
going
up
as
quickly
as
they
are
is
that
the
utility
has
high
fixed
costs.
As
usage
has
gone
down,
therefore,
you
need
a
higher
rate
to
actually
capture
the
funds
to
pay
for
those
High.
A
Fixed
costs,
okay
makes
sense,
but
shouldn't.
We
also
assume
that,
given
the
Abundant
rain,
we
just
had
that
now
we
would
likely
see
usage
go
up
in
the
next
year
or
two.
So
now
people
are
going
to
be
hit
with
a
double
whammy
of
using
more
water
and
therefore
just
paying
more
in
general,
but
also
the
rate
the
the
tax
on
a
per
gallon
basis
going
up
at
the
same
time,
and
if
we
count
is
that
projected,
did
you
assume
an
increase
in
the
consumption
of
water
in
the
coming
years?
AK
AK
Where,
even
though
we're
out
of
the
drought
and
there's
plenty
of
water
supply,
we're
actually
seeing
record
low
water
usage
as
we
go
through
the
rest
of
this
year,
March
was
down
about
30
percent
compared
to
last
year,
and
that
was
a
drought
year.
April
is
down
about
20
May
down
right
around
15
percent.
AK
We're
projected
now
with
the
cooler
weather
raining
today
in
June,
we're
going
to
end
this
fiscal
year
well
below
what
we
had
anticipated
we're
going
to
end
the
year
in
revenue
and
fund
balance,
and
that
has
an
impact
into
next
year.
Most
of
our
water
sales
are
in
the
summer
time
where
we
get
the
majority
of
our
water
sales
and
we're
trending
so
low
from
even
below
last
year,
we'll
move
through
the
summer.
AK
AK
As
soon
as
you
take
your
pressure
off
it
bounces
out
right
back,
it
didn't
happen
during
the
drought
in
the
recession
we
had
one
at
the
same
time,
and
then
we
saw
the
same
effect:
the
2013
drought,
2017,
drought
and
we're
anticipating
the
same
now.
In
that
every
time
we
push
down
the
spring,
it
doesn't
bounce
back,
it
could
take
several
years
to
slowly
increase
and
it
never
fully
goes
back
to
what
it
was
before.
AK
The
previous
drought
moving
on
I
know,
I
kind
of
mentioned
it
water
usage
right
now
we're
ending
this
year
at
the
lowest
water
usage
we've
seen
in
40
years,
and
even
though
we're
not
you
know,
mandating
or
telling
customers
they
have
to
conserve.
There
is
a
messaging
out
there.
Still
Valley
Waters
board
back
in
April,
voted
to
continue
to
call
for
a
two
day
a
week,
watering
the
state
Water
Resource
control
board.
They
just
extended
the
ban
on
watering
of
ornamental
Turf
in
front
of
commercial,
industrial
and
institutional
properties,
which
includes
HOAs.
AK
That's
non
non-functional,
turf
or
grass:
that's
not
used
for
recreation
and,
in
addition,
there's
a
state
law
passed
in
September
that
was
SB
1157.
If
you,
if
you
track
those
things
and
that
one
that
mandates
that
water
utilities
continue
to
make
progress
on
reducing
indoor
water
conservation
between
now
and
2030,
we
need
to
reduce
per
capita
usage
indoors
by
about
25
percent
between
now
and
2030..
AK
So,
even
though
the
drought's
over
and
there's
tons
of
water
there's
still
this
pressure
to
continue
to
maintain
the
pace
of
conservation
and
even
go
lower
and
we're
seeing
historic
lows,
we're
actually
hoping
that
they
do
increase
a
little
bit
because
we
budgeted
water
to
be
the
same
as
last
year:
drought
year
and
we're
tracking
lower.
So
we
would
like
to
see
it
up.
Crease
a
little
bit
it'll
help
through
the
next
budget
cycle.
Long
answer,
but
yeah.
A
A
Change
that
occurs,
there
are
investments
that
occur
people
take
out,
Lawns
people
invest
in
water
conservation,
Technologies
and
therefore
the
demand,
the
usage
doesn't
bounce
up,
necessarily
as
high
or
as
quickly
when
a
drought
is
over.
It
also
sounds
like
it's
somewhat
weather
dependent,
I,
I,
guess
so
the
good
news
there
would
be
well.
The
rate
may
be
going
up
14,
which
certainly
gives
me
sticker
shock.
AK
AK
As
we
go
through
next
year,
it
would
probably
be
you
know
a
lot
of
thought
on
this.
It
would
be
in
the
spring
of
next
year,
depending
on
upon
weather
and
messaging,
on
conservation
to
be
in
the
spring
of
next
year.
If
we
do
exceed
our
water
sales
targets
generally
a
little
bit
more
Revenue
that
goes
into
fund
balance
and
is
used
to
offset
any
Crea
any
rate
increases
next
year.
A
A
A
AK
Saw
it
I
just
want
to
make
sure
just
for
the
public
we're
right
around
there
right
around
the
middle
range.
It
can
vary
depending
upon
customer
base.
How
well
customers
responded
in
each
service
area
compared
to
Drought
water,
use,
reduction,
businesses
and
percentage
of
outdoor
watering,
but
we're
right
in
that
middle
range.
Right
now,
even.
J
Yeah,
thank
you.
I
have
some
questions
for
you
as
well.
Jeff.
First
of
all,
you
know,
I,
don't
see
water
use,
hasn't
gone
back
up
and
I.
Think
that's
a
good
thing.
I,
don't
think
it's
a
healthy
message
for
us
to
say:
hey.
We
had
a
lot
of
rain
this
year.
Therefore,
everyone
should
start
using
more
water.
I.
J
Also,
don't
think
it's
healthy
message
for
us
to
say:
hey
if
you
want
your
water
rates
to
go
down,
use
more
water,
I
I
hope
that
we
are
not
going
to
be
sort
of
sending
that
message
by
the
comments
we
just
made.
Conservation
should
be
a
way
of
life,
and
we
have
to
know
that
we're
living
in
a
in
a
place
where
it's
likely
that
this
is
going
to
cycle
is
going
to
repeat
itself.
J
Having
said
that,
it
is
obviously
nice
that
you
know
the
aquifers
are
recharged
in
our
area
and
I
call
it
a
creek
on
my
street.
That's
formed
in
the
gutter,
come
because
I
live
close
enough
to
the
hills
that
there's
actually
a
stream
running
down.
The
side
of
our
road
was
started
in
the
first
week
of
January
and
is
still
running
today,
six
months.
J
J
So
I
mean
a
lot
of
this
is
out
of
our
hands.
I
guess
my
my
question
would
be
most
of
the
other
water
companies
are
increasing
their
rates
by
nine
ten
eleven
percent
and
ours
are
14.
Can
you
set
my
mind
at
ease
about
the
historical
Trends
and
why
maybe
that's
happening?
I
mean
or
maybe
give
me
an
explanation
as.
AK
To
yeah
sure
I
mean
it,
it
kind
of
goes
back
to
usage
base.
A
majority
of
San
Jose
Municipal
Water
System
is
single
family
residential.
When
we
go
through
a
drought,
our
our
revenue
and
water
sales
are
impacted
in
that
the
most
common
way
of
achieving
water
reduction
during
a
drought
is
to
go
to
single-family
residential
limit
the
amount
of
outdoor
water
usage
and
then
focus
on
indoor
efficiencies.
AK
It
really
helps
us
to
achieve
water
reduction
standards,
but-
and
there
is
some
some
focus
on
on
on
businesses
to
reduce
usage,
but
usually
it's
on
the
outdoor
watering.
The
state
law
that
passed
in
September
that
was
SB
1157
part
of
that
going
forward
is
for
water
utilities
to
look
at
high
using
businesses
high
water,
using
businesses
and
to
develop
performance
measures
to
help
them
reduce
their
water
usage.
AK
But
going
back
to
answer
your
question
because
a
percentage
of
the
vast
majority
of
the
area
that
we
serve
our
single
family
residential,
we
see
a
big
drop,
that's
the
that's
where
we
focus
on
conservation,
typically
or
historically
in
droughts.
Most
other
retailers
don't
have
that
mixture.
We're
to
give
you
a
number
here:
25
000
customer
accounts.
AK
J
Okay,
I'm,
going
to
kind
of
I
got
a
little
confused
in
that
explanation.
North
San
Jose,
which
is
one
of
the
two
areas
you
cover,
is
actually
very
high
apartment
and
not
single-family
home.
It's
almost
all
multi-family
residential,
so
I'm
curious
about
your
numbers.
I
mean
is
it?
Is
it
really
true
that
that
Hive
a
fraction
is
single
family,
especially
and
then
can
I'll
get
to
my
next
question,
which
was
about
the
difference
in
cost
between
north
and
San,
Jose
and
and
Evergreen?
J
You
actually
have
two
rates:
you're,
not
unifying
the
rates
over
the
entire
system.
North
San,
Jose's
rates
are
looks
like
12
13,
higher
than
the
rates
in
the
Evergreen
area,
and
so
I'm
I
want
to
understand
that
better
I
think
partly
it's
due
to
the
fact
that
you're
getting
water
from
that
North
San
Jose
gets
water
from
sfpuc
and
the
other
gets
water
from
from
the
Valley
Water
System,
but
I
I'm,
not
sure.
If
that
explains
it,
but
can
you
I.
AK
Ask
you
a
question
there:
can
you
talk
about
something
a
few
in
there,
so
North
San
Jose,
it's
a
little
bit
different
you're
right,
not
mostly
or
very,
very
little
single-family,
residential,
mostly
multi-family,
and
then,
when
it
comes
to
water
reduction
standards,
it's
been
mostly
on
the
outdoor
side.
We're
seeing
right
now
in
in
North
San
Jose,
just
like
in
in
the
Evergreen
area
record
low
water
usage
going
back
30
some
odd
years.
AK
AK
It
goes
across
all
the
service
areas,
but
the
quantity
charge
in
North
San
Jose
is
really
based
around
San
Francisco's
San
Francisco
went
back
in
the
late
2000s
and
embarked
about
a
10-year
CIP
program
to
upgrade
their
whole
headshot
G
water
system
and
in
North
San
Jose.
At
the
time,
water
usage,
the
cost
of
the
water
spiked
different
factors
there
for
San
Francisco,
but
had
to
do
with
recession,
drought,
lower
water
sales
and
and
bond
obligations,
but
they
the
water
price,
spiked
very
significantly
compared
to
Valley
Water.
J
So
the
issue
here
is
I
mean
if
you
look
at
this
chart
that
shows
the
the
ranking
of
rates
in
the
Bay
Area
and,
while
you
say
we're
in
the
middle
of
the
pack,
North
San
Jose
is
fourth
out
of
the
entire.
The
jurisdictions
listed
San
Francisco
is
number
one.
So
is
this
the
reason
why
they're
number
one
is
also
the
reason
why
North
San
Jose
is
is
as
high
as
it
is.
AK
J
Okay,
so
I
guess
so,
and
you
and
you,
unlike
the
other
water
agencies,
you
do
differentiate
on
your
on
your,
where
you're
delivering
in
terms
and
rather
than
spread
it
across
the
entire
system.
That's
correct!
Yes,
and
your
cost
recovery
model.
You
don't
you
know,
because,
unlike
Great
Oak
and
and
San
Jose
water
company
you're,
not
this
is
a
non,
not
a
for-profit
organization,
correct
you're!
This
is
all
based
on
covering
cost
and
just
cost
recovery
and
there's
not
a
profit.
Any.
AK
X
AK
The
the
way
rates
are
calculated
is
we
look
at
our
water
sales,
both
how
we're
going
to
end
the
year
in
water
sales
and
then
water
sales
projections
next
year?
That's
both
the
revenue
and
then
a
cost
component
with
that.
So
we
look
at
how
much
water
of
each
type
we're
going
to
buy
and
then
how
much
water
of
each
type
we're
going
to
sell.
Those
are
our
major
costs
and
then
the
raise
rates
to
to
match
the
revenue
to
have
the
revenue
match
the
cost.
AK
J
AK
So
that
was
really
our
best
guess
estimate
on
the
information
that
was
available
for
both
San
Jose
water
company
and
Great
Oaks.
If
you're
in
in
those
service
areas,
you
would
have
maybe
experienced
or
drought
surcharges
over
the
past
couple
years.
The
way
that
works,
we
don't
do
drought,
surcharges
here
with
Muni
water,
the
way
the
drought
surcharges
work,
if
either
of
those
agencies
over
collect
on
that
surcharge,
it
goes
into
a
pot
and
then
they
use
that
extra
Revenue
to
offset
rate
increases
going
forward
it.
AK
It
also
has
a
way
of
shifting
their
revenue.
In
essence,
with
the
higher
users
are
paying
a
greater
proportion
of
the
revenue.
Both
agencies
are
moving
or
have
moved
off,
drought,
surcharges
and
as
they
move
forward
with
their
filings
with
the
puc
they'll,
look
at
their
their
balance
sheets.
How
much?
If
there's
any
Revenue
left
in
in
from
drought,
surcharges
in
a
holding
pot
and
that
will
be
used
to
offset
any
rate
increases
or
recalculate
what
their
this
year's
rate
increases
will
be.
AK
J
Just
just
to
understand
that
last
piece
fit
that
your
outer
car
charge
is
on
top
of
the
proposed
monthly
bill
here,
so
when
it
says
88
for
Great
Oaks,
if
they're
doing
a
drought
surcharge,
it's
more,
whereas
we
don't
have
that
surcharge
on
ours.
So
it's
actually
less
of
a
difference
between
what
people
pay
than
it
looks
like
on
this
table.
AK
Yeah,
let's
see
if
I
can
say
that
better
it
last
year's
memo,
their
numbers
were
significantly
higher
than
this
year
because
they
had
drop
surcharges
and
we
could
calculate
that
in
to
compare
apples
and
apples
with
hours
because
it
got
rid
of
them.
Those
drought,
surcharges
it
in
the
data
there.
It
shows
that
their
numbers
are
much
lower,
but
there
is
a
recalculation
needed
for
both
companies
as
they
go
through
this
year.
AK
For
San
Francisco,
we
belong
to
an
agency
called
Bosca,
Bay,
Area,
Water,
Supply
and
conservation
agency,
and
one
of
the
main
purposes
of
that
agency.
It's
a
26-member
agency
of
most
of
the
cities
that
buy
water
from
San
Francisco,
and
one
of
the
main
roles
of
that
organization
is
to
Advocate
on
our
behalf
on
on
on
reducing
or
minimizing
rate
increases
on
the
San
Francisco
side
or
at
least
making
sure
the
justification
is
there
for
any
increases
that
come
forward.
So
they
really
are
advocating
on
that
side
and
on
the
Valley
Water
side.
AK
They
are
right
now,
they're,
just
beginning
the
the
beginning
stages
of
their
Capital
Improvement
program,
Anderson,
dams,
offline
and
that's
a
relatively
expensive
project,
but
and
then
the
other
side,
too,
is
is
what
projects
can
they
do
if
water
sales
are
declining?
Perhaps
we
don't
need
some
of
the
more
expensive
projects
now
they
can
be
held
off
or
pushed
off
in
the
out
years,
and
so
that
conversation
on
cost
management
and
timing
is
something
that
we
do
also
throughout
the
year.
Great.
AN
You
know
I
I
do
sit
on
the
Valley
Water
Commission
or
the
Santa
Clara
Valley,
Water,
Commission
and
I
did
explain.
You
know
the
the
costs
increases
because
they
originally
had
a
higher
a
higher
rate,
but
based
on
the
lack
of
emergency
water
supplies
that
they
had
to
acquire,
which
are
way
more
costly,
which
we
all
know
they've
lowered
it,
but
the
the
lowering
went
from
15
to
14
and
a
half.
A
Yeah,
thank
you,
council,
member,
agreed
and
I.
Think
we
all.
We
all
agree
with
quite
a
few
conversations
about
the
impacts
of
these
costs
in
recent
years.
It
is
definitely
concerning
appreciate
your
advocacy
there.
I
don't
see
another
hand,
so
I
think
we're
ready
to
vote.
I'm
sorry
did
we
have
a
motion,
I,
don't
think
I've
heard
one
yet.
M
A
You
know
one
thing:
I'll
just
note:
I,
don't
think
I'm
the
right
person
to
answer
your
question,
but
we
did
do
a
pretty
comprehensive
hearing
made
a
council
hearing
and
had
Valley
Water
join
us
I
think
actually
a
couple
times
in
the
last
two
years,
and
so
we
can
certainly
dig
up
those
recordings
and
I
see
Lee
nodding.
Maybe
the
city
manager's
office
can
help
us
find
those
hearings
and
share
them
with
the
whole
Council
for
folks
who
want
to
watch
the
inquiry.
A
AO
No,
that
is
correct.
We
don't
have
any
direct
Authority,
but
we
could
certainly
get
those
staff
reports
from
the
joint
meetings,
Jeff
and
team,
and
share
those
with
the
full
Council,
but
also
just
remind
councils,
given
staff
direction
to
work
with
Valley
water
on
the
waterproof
purification
project,
which
could
lead
to
potentially
vastly
lower
amounts
than
what
we're
paying
for
water
in
the
future.

Hi
I'm
Blair,
Beekman
I
just
thought
it
would
be
time
to
offer
one
of
my
regular
public
comments
that
for
this
project
for
24
fiscal
year,
23
and
24
as
we
move
into
24,
it's
my
hope
that
we
have
a
good
hopes
for
for
2024
that
the
stuff
we
do
in
this
year
can
something's
hopeful
by
24
and
25
good
Community
projects,
people
working
together
well
and
understanding
each
other.
Well,
good!
Luck
on
those
efforts
again
as
I
try
to
say
and
I'm
hopeful
in
what
we
can
really
expect
in

and

Yes,
I'd
like
to
on
December
7th

on

had
received
the
home
of
Norman
monetta
as
a
part
of
the
historical
resources
inventory
for
the
city
of
San
Jose.
This
was
important,
I
felt
so
honored
and
so
privileged
as
a
citizen
of
San
Jose
to
be
at
that
meeting
because
what
it
showed-
and
it
demonstrated
because.
AP
Business
improvement
district.
Give
me
my
time.
I
have
two
minutes.
Let
me
finish
my
thought.
Don't
interrupt
me.
No
may
I
continue.
Thank
you.
Norman
manetta
is
the
reason
why
this
this,
the
Japanese
town
and
the
Japanese
area
of
San
Jose,
is
so
important
to
critic
to
to
establish
and
to
give
it
its
historical
significance
and
to
build
it
up.
Because
Norman
monetta
was
processed
through
the
San
Jose
State
University's
gym,
then
he
went
on
to
graduate
from
Stanford
law
and
then
he
became
who
he
became.
AP
But
the
start
point
was
right
there
for
Norman
Minetta.
The
womb
was
Japantown,
and
this
is
critically
important
when
you're
talking
about
building
up
and
investing
in
particular
areas,
it
is
critically
important
to
talk
about
the
history
of
these
areas
and
the
men
and
the
women
who
created
that
history.
That
is
critically
important,
and
this
is
why
it's
such
an
insult
to
me
as
a
citizen
as
a
historian
and
as
a
researcher
to
interrupt
me
in
these
types
of
meetings
and
try
to
act
like
I.
Don't
back
to
the
council.

Thank
you.

close

Hi
I'm
player
Beekman,
there
was
a
few
there's
a
couple
items
that
talk
about
downtown
in
the
past
six
months.
One
of
them
was
about
converting
one
of
the
old
major
hotels,
I
think
the
Hilton
into
a
more
of
a
residential
Hotel
purpose
and
a
lot
of
questions
around
that
it
brought
up.
To
my
mind,
the
the
work
of
the
Hispanic
chamber
of
commerce
that
may
I
think
be
able
to
infuse
some
kind
of
interesting
ideas
for
downtown
projects
in
the
coming
year
in
the
coming
few
years.
T
Good
luck
in
those
sort
of
efforts
and
consideration
and
I
wanted
to
offer
a
quick
thought.
I
hope
that
as
you're
budgeting
for
each
for
districts
each
year
that
we
are
considering
Equity
more
and
finding
a
a
pot
of
equity
ideas
that
everyone
can
agree
on
and
then
from
there
specialty
items
can
appear
and
I'm
trying
to
learn
how
to
better
talk
about
that.
But
I
think
that's
something
you're
trying
to
learn
at
the
end
of
the
previous
mayoral
Administration
that
I
hope
you're
learning
to
work
on
at
this
time.
Thanks
Paul.
AP
AP
So
you
have
to
assume
a
responsibility
when
you
are
censoring
investment
downtown
that
is
necessarily
going
to
exclude
certain
classes
of
people
and
then
to
let's
just
to
sit
there
on
this
Dice
and
then
look
at
me
and
and
act
like
oh
well.
What's
he
talking
about?
Oh,
this
guy's,
crazy,
I,
ain't,
crazy,
I,
just
know
what
you
know
and
I'm
not
going
to
sit
here
as
a
as
a
as
a
lifelong
citizen
of
this
city
and
also
the
people
I'm.

Thank
you,
okay.

you.

now
close

the
business
owners

Hello,
my
name
is
Manuel
trigos,
the
landowner
of
that
property
there
in
East,
Foothills
I,
was
just
here.
I
wanted
to
be
president
I
know
there
was
about
six
individuals
who
wanted
to
contest
against
the
proposal
and
I
just
wanted
to
say
that
it's
a
two
acre
parcel
we're
planning
on
putting
one
single
family
residence
on
that
property
with
an
Adu
I.
Don't
think
there
should
be
any
harm
to
the
area,
and
hopefully
you
guys
will
give
it
consideration.
C
AR
AS
AP
Something
from
the
Horseshoe.
Let
me
reiterate
what
I
just
heard
so
that
I
understand
the
correctness.
A
person
is
going
to
have
a
single
family
home
with
an
Adu,
and
he
needs
two
acres
of
land
to
do
it
and
you
guys
are
gonna,
just
approve
it
and
I'll
bet
you.
The
vote's
gonna
be
unanimous
in
the
next
sentence.
AP
Do
you?
Can
you
guys
really
like
look
at
yourself
and
make
an
honest
assessment
of
yourself
and
say:
Hey
There
is
absolutely
no
contradiction
or
hypocrisy
in
that
now.
I
know
that
you
can't-
and
you
know
that
you
can't
the
problem
is-
is
that
you
do
it
and
then
you
do
it
week
after
week
after
week,
you
do
it
so
often
they
it
really
like
like
well
shoot
the
it
becomes.
Normalized
look.
Land
use,
land
use
issues
right
now
is
at
a
very
critical
point.
Why?
AP
Deprived
of
participating
in
that
process,
because
the
land
use
issues
were
all
racially
motivated,
all
of
it
and
give
the
Mexicans.
That
was
the
policy
and
now,
when
you
have
a
chance,
an
opportunity
to
start
reassessing
that
logic
and
reason
and
then
start
inserting
the
Mexicano
and
Chicano
perspective
and
the
generational
impacts
that
that
deficit
is
created.
You're
gonna,
like
just
like
look
at
someone
like
me
like.
What's
he
talking
about
you,
know
what
I'm
talking
about,
and
these
land
use
issues
need
to
be
amended.
D
C
X
C
AT
Can
you
hear
me
yes,
hi?
My
name
is
Abhishek
I'm,
I'm
kind
of
speaking
on
behalf
of
small
businesses
and
their
customers,
who
are
going
to
be
impacted
by
this
decision.
I'm
myself,
a
small
business
owner
and,
of
course,
I'm.
You
know
I'll
be
impacted
by
at
least
one
of
the
zoning
decisions
on
Camden
Avenue
in
San,
Jose,
but
I
know
many
small
businesses
owners
who
are
going
to
be
impacted
by
this.
This
is,
if
you
know
the
zoning
is
changed
in
my
case.
AT
You
know
this
chain
goes
through
and
then
there's
Redevelopment
on
you
know
on
our
properties,
I
mean
landlords
will
be
fine,
but
the
tenants
and
the
businesses
will
be
severely
severely
impacted
and
I'm
going
to
lose
literally.
My
livelihood
I
need
to
figure
out
something
else
to
do.
If
this
goes
through-
and
you
know,
my
business
essentially
gets
swiped
off
the
map
in
the
area
that
that's
going
to
get
impacted,
so
I
would
like
to
kind
of
think
about
that,
as
well
as
you
kind
of
make,
make
these
decisions.
AT
D
Thank
you,
mayor
how's.
It
going
everyone
I,
just
quick
question.
Obviously
we
heard
some
comments
during
public
comment
and
I
thought.
This
was
kind
of
like
a
fairly
straightforward
rezoning
that
just
made
us
aligned
with
the
general
plan.
Does
will
this
rezoning
impact
I
think
one
individual
mentioned
they
wanted
to
provide
like
a
service
center
for
their
their
Community.
Another
gentleman,
a
person
on
the
call
mentioned
it
would
stop
impact
their
business.
I
just
want
to
is
this
confusion?
Is
this
accurate
I
just
want
to
make
sure
so.
AQ
AU
But
essentially
so
this
is
part
of
the
ongoing
process
to
align
with
State
Senate
Bill
1333.
That
requires
us,
as
a
charter
City,
to
have
alignment
between
a
general
plan
and
our
zonings.
So
in
the
past
we
haven't
had
that
requirement
as
a
charter
City
and
where
we've
gone
through
and
made
significant
changes
in
the
general
plan.
We've
assumed
change
over
time
because
our
general
plan
is
looking
forwards,
whereas
the
zoning
district
is
kind
of
looking
at
the
existing
condition
and
the
parameters
for
use
and
development
within
a
property.
AU
So
it
kind
of
looks
backwards
into
the
current
condition,
and
so
this
really
kind
of
brings
that
alignment
to
the
boat.
So
so,
in
those
couple
of
different
instances,
there's
a
couple
of
different
pieces
going
on
so
for
anybody,
that's
an
existing
business
that
occupies
those
spaces.
Those
uses
are
considered
once
we
change
the
zoning
legal
non-conforming,
so
they're
allowed
to
continue
those
uses
on
an
ongoing
basis
in
perpetuity.
Should
that
use
end
so
I
mean
you
know
one
of
the
examples.
AU
We've
had
recent
conversations
with
something
like
vehicle
repair,
which
there's
actually
quite
a
considerable
amount
of
demand
for,
because
there's
a
limit
of
light
industrial
space
so
should
a
light.
A
vehicle
repair
business
go
out
of
business
in
that
light,
industrial
zoning
District
after
it's
been
changed.
Another
user
can
come
in
within
a
six-month
process
and
and
re-up
under
that
same
provision
of
a
legal
non-conforming
use.
AU
So
so
there's
a
an
ability
to
continue
the
uses
on
the
land,
but
really
what
we're
looking
for
is
that
opportunity,
as
the
area
changes
over
time,
to
bring
it
into
conformance
with
the
general
plan?
And
so
so
that's
the
change.
That's
going
on
with
with
the
adult
care
use,
I
know,
staff
and
my
staff
has
been
in
touch
with
that
property
owner,
so
we're
looking
at
opportunities
to
help
facilitate
that.
AU
AU
AU
AU
AU
Just
because
really
this
is
alignment
with
the
ongoing
General
plan
process,
but
but
you
know,
as
we've
improved
the
Outreach
and
the
mailers
on
that
we
have
been
getting
more
questions
from
the
public
and
obviously
we're
working
with
them
to
help
them
understand
the
situation
of
any
particular
use.
One.
D
Final
question:
I
think
this
is
just
a
confirmation
of
what
you
already
said,
but
if,
for
example,
a
restaurant
is
one
of
these
properties,
if
they're
already
a
restaurant,
they
can
continue
to
do
that.
If
there's
a
coffee
shop,
they
continue
to
be
a
coffee
shop.
If
there's
a
Contractor,
Yard
or
service
yard,
they
can
continue
to
have
their
trucks
and
stuff
like
that
and
in
their
yard.
It's
just
once
the
Property
Transfers
owners
or
in
the
future.
That's
when
it
would
change
yeah.
AU
D
F
No
I
I
just
wanted
to
thank
planning
for
for
helping
us
out
with
that.

we
know,

huge

you

concerns
are
being
addressed.

thank
you.

the

the

Hi
Beekman
the
kind
of
offer
what
I
tried
to
offer
a
public
comment:
transportation
and
environment
committee
yesterday
around
arpa
issues,
I
very
much
of
a
thank
you
that
you
actually
had
a
public
meeting
on
it
a
few
weeks
ago
now,
a
week
and
a
half
ago,
now,
a
week
ago,
boy!
Well,
you
did
have
a
public
meeting
and
it
was
just
a
really
nice
thing
to
do,
because
you
described
you're
going
to
put
arpa
funding
in
police
budgeting
that
I
found.
T
We've
got
so
many
other
ways
to
make
choices
with
that
sort
of
funding
that
to
give
it
a
public
meeting
process
at
this
budget
time
can
give
us
a
few
more
months
to
really
figure
out
different
solutions
that
I
think
a
police
budgeting.
Putting
in
police
budgeting
is
condoning
the
concepts
of
war,
the
prison
military
industrial
complex.
We
can
invest
our
money
in
so
many
more
different
good
ways
that
you
know
we
can
be
creative
and
and
I
hope.
T
The
whole
part
of
the
public
meeting
process
was
to
ask
what
that
creativity
can
be
because
I
think
we
can
find
it
I.
Don't
think
it
should
be
too
hard
living
wage
issues,
people
work
on
those
things
all
the
time
we
can
work
on
a
good
Progressive
budget
and
and
good
luck
in
those
efforts
to
do
that
with
this
arpa
money.
I
wanted
to
also
mention
about
measure
e
issues
that,
interestingly,
with
the
there
was
an
item
today
about
the
Pacific
Hotel
that
I
was
corrected
on.
T
It
had
a
really
deep
item
that
was
going
around
measure
e
issues
that
we
can't
be
afraid
of
middle
income
ideas
and
that
market
rate
housing
isn't
the
answer
for
everything
and
that
we
can
trust
middle
income
and
affordable
housing
ideas
as
ways
to
really
address
our
issues
and
I.
Think
there's
a
fear
in
that
and
I
hope
that
we
can
learn
to
get
over
that
and
all
the
work
you'll
be
doing.
Thank
you
that
you're
trying
to
mediate
go
for
the
75-25.
If
you
can
thanks.
AD
Thank
you,
Thomas
Knight,
a
member
of
the
lived
experience,
Advisory
Board
of
Silicon
Valley,
mayor
Mayhem
and
city
council.
I
am
personally
disheartened
here
of
the
planned
stay
of
a
city
council,
member
at
an
interim
housing
site
set
amidst
press
coverage
and
public
Fanfare
and
after
turning
down
a
congregate,
shelter
stay.
This
approach
does
not
reflect
the
lived
experience
of
homeless
individuals
in
this
city.
There
is
little
doubt
that
the
service
provider
provider
will
ensure
the
unit
is
in
pristine
condition,
fully
operational
and
clean
for
his
brief
stay
However.
AD
This
orchestrated
event
in
no
way
represents
the
reality
of
those
who
live
or
have
lived
through
the
devastating
challenges
of
homelessness.
It
is
critical
to
remember
that
these
are
not
simply
housing
units
or
statistics.
These
are
people's
lives.
I
implore
you
please
do
not
trivialize
their
Misfortune
and
struggle
by
turning
it
into
to
a
publicity
event
and
thereby
taking
a
bed
away
from
someone
who
truly
needs
it,
if
only
even
even,
if
only
for
a
night.
AD
Furthermore,
I
during
one
of
the
last
City
Council
meetings,
the
conduct
of
most
council
members
during
the
open
Forum
was
appalling,
standing
and
engaging
in
private
conversations,
while
the
public
was
expressing.
Concerns
was
not
just
disrespectful,
but
it
was
unprofessional
and
unethical.
We
need
our
elected
officials
to
truly
listen
to
understand
and
to
make
and
to
take
to
heart,
The
Voice
concerns
of
their
constituents,
especially
when
they
pertain
to
the
most
vulnerable
citizens.
Thank
you
for
your
time.
AS
With
with
great
respect,
I
asked
the
city
clerk
to
please
check
the
dashboard.
I
had
my
hand
up.
I
was
on
the
telephone.
I
I
was
not
called
on,
I've
been
sending
emails,
saying
I've
got
my
hand
up
sent
one
to
Sergio
and
Pam.
During
the
meeting.
Please
check
your
your
dashboard
a
little
bit
more
carefully
and
just
as
a
reminder
to
the
council
members
Once
Upon
a
Time,
the
trash,
the
water.
All
of
these
things
were
included
in
the
rent
for
mobile
home
residents.
AS
AS
AP
I
really
hope
I
read
that
wrong,
because
what
this
means
is
is
that
that
person
doesn't
necessarily
should
never
be
a
police
officer.
Why?
Because
it
means
that
he
cannot
assess
what
is
dangerous
and
what
is
not.
This
is
the
kind
of
this
is
the.
This
is
the
dichotomy
that
the
city
put
itself
in
because
of
a
police
officer
cannot
assess
that
him
pointing
a
weapon.
What
they
loaded
round
is
not
force.
AP
AP
This
is
what
you're
saying.
Secondly,
whenever
an
officer
rationalizes
and
justifies
his
pointiest
weapon
and
firing
Anthony,
Nunes
and
Jacob
Dominguez
cases
in
point,
these
men
didn't
even
have
women
and
they
blasted
him
citizens
of
my
community,
and
these
cops
are
going
to
hey
I'm
serious
man.
Do
not
do
this
because,
what's
the
same
is
that
a
cop
can
use
that
kind
of
force
against
a
citizen
with
impunity,
and
you
guys
will
protect
it.

Hi,
mayor
council
I
think
some
of
you
already
know
who
I
am
so
just
briefly.
I
was
raised
in
San
Jose
I've
been
a
part
of
the
Sikh
Community
my
whole
life,
my
family
helped
build
the
San,
Jose
Gurdwara
and
now
I
work
there
full
time.
I
quit
my
job
at
Google
to
serve
but
I'm
living
in
a
mental
health
nightmare.
Would
diagnosis
is
a
bipolar
schizophrenia,
ADHD,
all
of
which
I
don't
have
and
I've
proven
I.
AC
Don't
have
it
to
my
community,
but
yours
doesn't
seem
to
understand
because
you're
not
sick,
I
reached
the
highest
level
of
Enlightenment,
which
is
called
such
khand.
It's
where
truth
is,
and
there's
no
one
above
that
and
I
would
like
my
son
back
I
haven't
seen
him
since
May
6
2022.
Since
2019,
when
doctors
tried
to
kill
me,
I've
lost
over
500
Days
of
time
with
my
child
for
no
reason,
except
that
I
choose
to
be
a
Sikh
and
follow
Guru,
nanak
and
other
people.
AC
Don't
quite
understand
that
and
it's
not
a
mental
illness
I've
been
working
on
conquering
my
mind
and
I've
already
done
that
and
now
I
teach
other
people
how
to
and
help
others
reach
Enlightenment
as
well
and
I
would
like
all
of
you
to
do
something.
To
get
me.
My
son
back
in
my
arms,
where
he
belongs.
