A
Thank
you
item.
3.6
are
the
master
agreements
with
smart
wave,
infiniti
and
studio
151?
There
is
no
presentation.
So
let's
go
to
a
public
comment
on
this
item.
This
is
again
3.6
master
agreements
with
smart
wave
technologies,
infiniti
and
studio
151.
You
can
support
community
wi-fi
tested,
witnessy.
C
C
That's
one
thing
is
how
to
get
this
digital
divide
to
be
reduced
is
really
important,
and
I
think
that
we
need
to
have
like
a
some
type
of
technical
support
so
that
people
can
get
on
the
zoo
meetings,
that's
something
to
really
think
about,
and
so
that
we
have
more
democracy
as
part
of
it
and
even
your
websites.
You
know
we
need
a
lot
of
help
in
our
you
know
our
digital
democracy,
in
terms
of
making
it
more
accessible
to
people
making
it
easy,
even
on
the
website
to
find
the
link.
C
You
know
you
have
to
kind
of
go
through
a
lot
of
details,
there's
one
little
tiny
little
line
that
you
have
to
copy
and
paste,
and
you
know
it's
not.
You
know
making
it
as
user-friendly
as
we
can
to
really
close
this
digital
divide
and
to
also
support
our
democracy,
and
then
I
had
another
friend
who's
80
years
old
and
she
got
her
her
smartphone
and
I
thought
that
was
really
great
and
so
maybe
really
getting.
She
got
it
over
at
anyway.
C
So
she's,
a
low-income
senior
and
she
got
a
smartphone
so
really
finding
ways
that
we
can
know
how
to
find
the
technology.
So
people,
low-income
people
or
seniors,
can
get
smartphones
like
she
got
it
for
free.
It
was
over.
You
know,
anyway,
it
was
over
by
some
low
income
program
that
she
got
it,
and
so
anyway,
getting
that
digital
divide
closed
and
to
get
to
help
with
our
democracy
is
really
critical
and
and
also
making
our
technology
on
our
websites.
C
D
All
right,
thank
you.
This
part
of
smart
wave
iot
is
working
with
the
east
side
and
helping
connect
the
digital
divide
with
new
wi-fi
around
local
high
schools.
City
government
of
san
jose
also
has
smart
wave
iot
contracts
with
downtown
san
jose
as
well,
and
what
has
actually
been
called
in
other
various
cities,
federal
mandates
to
place
new
4g
and
5g
technology
in
local
neighborhoods.
In
this
time
of
covid19.
D
It
seems
everyday
people
of,
and
government
of
san
jose
have
sometimes
been
figuring
out
together.
At
this
time
there
may
be
a
system.
The
public
and
local
government
can
sometimes
talk
and
negotiate
if
4
g
and
5g
may
be
harmful
to
be
placed
in
certain
local
san
jose
neighborhoods,
but
the
importance
of
bridging
the
digital
divide.
This
can
be
an
important
time
everyday
community,
from
both
sides
of
san
jose
san
jose
and
for
downtown
too,
to
begin
to
learn
about
new
ideas
and
open
public
policies,
ideas
and
practices.
D
This
can
help
with
a
positive
hopeful,
community
spirit,
possibly
ways
to
unite
and
possibly
ways
to
unite
both
sides
of
san
jose
accountability.
Practices
can
help
everyday
people
not
feel
so
helpless
with
their
government
and
institutions
and
work
towards
trusting
how
the
practices
of
friendly,
open
democracy
can
work
towards
long-term
community
sustainability,
as
accountability
and
openness
should
also
be
a
part
of
the
important
concepts
of
equity
empowerment
and
how
to
help
bridge
the
digital
divide.
D
I've
been
speaking
on
these
issues
for
over
five
years
now,
so
I'm
pretty
dedicated
the
ideas
of
how
we
can
how
these
ideas
can
work
towards
peace,
how
good
democratic
practices
can
work
towards
peace.
I
wanted
to
from
my
previous
item
public
comment.
I
just
wanted
to
quickly
offer
that
I
have
serious
reservations
and
concerns
of
michelle
flournay
being
named
the
new
defense
secretary
of
this
country,
and
we
needed
new
ideas
of
international
policy.
Bride
needs
to
understand
that.
Thank
you.
A
E
Awesome
good
evening,
mayor
licardo,

you
appreciate
that
the
feeling
is

Everyone

off,
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you
so
much
for
all
of
the
work
that
has
been
done
leading
up
to
today.
It's
been
years
and
a
really
strong
partnership,
and
it's
taken
a
lot
to
get
here.
So
wanna
just
reiterate
our
gratitude.
E

I'm

you

a
friendly

that
our
communities
need
this
community
wireless
access
and
they

yesterday
and
they
have
needed
it
even
more
since
the
shelter
in
place
and
this
pandemic
started.
Please
keep
moving
with
this
partnership
as
quickly
as

I'm

Hello:
everyone,
my
name,
is
hong
huang.
I
am
a
teacher
at
andrew
hill
high
school.
Thank
you
for
giving
me
some
time
to
speak
tonight
and
first
off.
I
want
to
thank
you
all
for
all
the
work
that
has
been
done
until
now,
and
I
want
to
urge
you
to
keep
moving
this
as
quickly
as
possible
and
I'm
grateful
that
we're
moving
forward
with
the
contracts
tonight.
E
I
want
to
speak
about
the
importance
of
internet
and
everything
that
you're
doing
and
to
ask
you
not
to
forget
about
mount
pleasant
and
silver
creek
communities
from
what
I
know.
Eastside
high
school
district
is
ready
to
work
on
all
schools
in
one
phase:
silver
creek,
mount
pleasant,
andrew
hill,
oak
grove
and
independence,
and
I'm
here
to
speak
as
a
teacher.
E
We
needed
this
project
done.
Like
many
of
you
have
said
yesterday,
every
single
day
I
work
with
students,
and
so
many
of
them
are
having
connectivity
issues.
I
have
many
students
who
drop
off
from
a
call
or
a
lesson
for
20
to
30
minutes,
which
is
a
huge
chunk
of
class,
and,
if
we're
thinking
about
this
times,
six
classes
a
day
how
much
instruction
students
are
missing,
and
I
just
want
to
to
talk
to
talk
about
my
piece
and
how
important
it
is
for
our
communities
and
this
project.
B
B
Either
can't
access
broadband
or
because
of
their
living
situation,
they
they
can't
get
service
in
many
cases.
So
I
had
a
question
about
the
funding
agreement
with
the
school
districts.
What
is
the
status
on
that?
The
memo
mentions
completion
this
month.
Do
we
have
an
update
on
that,
because
it's
the
maintenance
agreement.
G
B
B
So
it's
it's
been
taking
a
little
bit
longer
because
it's
complicated
with
what
we've
already
done
with
james
lick,
overfelt
and
urbana,
and
then
we're
planning
for
the
the
next
five
attendance
areas.
So
we're
going
to
have
two
separate
agreements
so
we're
working
through
that
right
now:
okay,
great.
G
B
G
Yes,
so,
and
the
good
news
is,
we
have
three
different
consultants
that
competed
and
that
we're
awarding
contracts
to
the
reason
there's
five
different
contracts
is
two
of
them
are
cdbg
funded
and
three
other
funding
source
funded,
but
having
three
different.
Consulting
firms
on
board
should
will
allow
us
to
be
more
flexible
and
nimble
with
the
schedules
right
now.
G
We
are
in
finalizing
the
contracts
with
all
these
consultants
and
we're
talking
through
and
challenging
them
and
our
staff
about
how
aggressive
we
can
get
to
so
that
we
don't
have
to
completely
stagger
everything
that
we
can
work
on
multiple
projects
at
one
time
and
and
we'll
be
following
up
in
the
very
near
future.
Once
we've
talked
this
through
a
little
bit
more
with
the
consultants
with
the
schedules
that
we
feel
we
can
achieve.
B
Great
all
right!
Well,
then
I'll
stay
optimistic
because,
as
trustee
asphalt
mentioned
earlier,
I
mean
the
kids
really
do.
They
did
need
this
yesterday
and
so
there's
a
huge
sense
of
urgency,
particularly
as
school
districts
have
to
reevaluate
their
plans
in
light
of
this
state
situation.
So
with
that
I'll
move
to
approve.
A
F
I
know
that
there
was
some
great
progress
already
happening,
and
so
I'm
really
grateful
that
we
were
able
to
just
put
a
little
bit
more
pressure
on
that
and
and
get
some
really
good
work
out
of
this.
But
I
know
that
there
was
a
lot
of
work
already
laid
out
from
your
office
and
from
previous
folks
working
on
this.
I
also
want
to.
I
want
to
note
that
I
think
this
is
a
great
strategy
matt.
I
really
appreciate
having
a
number
of
contractors
on.
F
Once
again,
I
know
matt
you,
you
were
crucial
in
getting
this
strategy
of
having
multiple
companies
come
in
and
and
work
at
this
at
the
same
time,
so
that
we
can
push
this
all
through.
So
I
really
appreciate
it
rajani.
Thank
you
so
much
if
I
didn't
mention
your
name,
I
apologize,
but
I
know
that
there's
been
a
really
great
team
effort
on
this
part,
and
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you.
F
A
Thank
you.
I
echo
all
the
thanks
to
everyone.
Who's
been
working
so
hard
on
this
for
quite
a
while
now
rajanine,
matt
and
kip
and
dolan
and
and
everyone
has
been
pushing.
I
did
have
one
question,
though,
and
I
think
it's
probably
a
question
for
you
matt,
because
I
saw
in
the
report
that
you
know
we
picked
three
consultants,
because
we
believe
that
would
help
accelerate
the
program.
G
However,
we
still
need
to
have.
We
still
need
to
figure
out
the
construction
side
if
we
put
up
three
or
four
project
projects
out
to
bid
right
at
the
same
time,
we
don't
know
the
answer
to
that.
Yet
we're
regarding
whether
or
not
the
construction
industry
is
going
to
be
able
to
handle
them.
We
hope
so,
and
we
think
so,
but
it's
a
great
question
and
it's
something
we
as
we
really
dig
into
these
schedules
over
the
next
month.
G
A
A
Right
item
3.7
are
actions
related
to
collective
impact,
grant
program,
food
and
necessities
distribution
by
community
community-based
organizations.
I
think
this
is
a
deferral
from
last
week
for
a
portion
of
this
item.
I
don't
think
there
is
a
presentation
at
this
point.
Is
there
nope?
Okay?
We
heard
it
all
so
we'll
come
back
to
the
council
for
questions
in
a
moment,
we'll
first
go
to
the
public.
Tesla
women
see
we're
hearing
public
testimony
about
3.7
actions,
related
collective
impact
grant
food
program.
C
Thank
you,
mayor
licardo,
for
reviewing,
so
we
make
sure
we're
on
we're
on
task.
I
appreciate
that
yeah.
Well,
that
I've
been
talking
about
is
food
and
necessities
and,
as
as
we
can
see
in
terms
of
what's
happened
with
covet
19,
what
we've
been
doing
hasn't
been
working.
Can
we
all
agree
that,
but
it's
not
been
working,
and
so
we
need
to
change
course.
That's
what
kovit
has
been
telling
us.
C
That's
what
climate
change
has
been
telling
us
and
that's
what
our
oh,
the
report
on
the
we're
losing
all
of
our
ecosystem
is
saying
that
we
need
to
change
radical
change
and
the
radical
change
is
that
hold
on
turn
this
off.
The
radical
change
that
we
need
is
that
we
need
to
become
hyper
local.
We
need
to
become
hyper
local
and
we
need
to
be
growing
our
food
and
we
need
to
be
fine.
C
You
know
all
of
our
necessities
met
by
our
our
neighbors
that
that's
how
it
used
to
be
in
the
village
life,
and
so
what
we
need
is
support
as
we
move
towards
a
hyper
local
economy
and
a
village
lifestyle,
and
so
what
that
would
look
like
is
that
we
know
our
neighbors
that's
very
important,
so
we
need
support
so
that
we
can
really
know
our
neighbors.
That's
very
critical
for
emergency
preparedness
as
well.
C
As
you
know,
our
future,
you
know
survival
and
so
by
knowing
our
neighbors,
we
know
what
they
can
produce
and
then
we
so
we
need
help
in
developing
this
neighborhood
association.
We
need
support
from
you
to
develop
that
and
then,
when
we
know
our
neighbors
what
they
can
produce
and
what
their
services
can
be,
then
we
use
those
services
and
then,
of
course,
we
work
together
to
grow
food
that
that
that's
what
even
the
the
pope
I
mean,
not
the
pope.
C
The
bishop
was
talking
at
the
county
meeting,
bishop
cantu,
that
and
and
also
pope
francis,
has
been
saying.
We
need
brotherhood,
so
we
need
to
work
together.
That's
how
we,
you
know,
and
another
philosopher
said
that
cooperation
is
how
we're
going
to
save
we'll
redeem
mankind.
So
we
need
to
work
together,
growing
food
and
living
more
local
and
and
providing
stuff
with.
A
A
I
I
So
we
incorporate
the
pcia
into
our
rate,
setting
process
so
that
when
customers
take
service
from
us,
they
still
save
money
compared
to
pgme
and
we
need
to
adjust
our
current
rate
discount
to
alleviate
the
financial
impacts
from
the
large
increase
that
we're
likely
to
see
in
2021
next
slide,
and
this
chart
shows
you
how
the
pca
has
increased
over
the
years.
So
back
in
2013,
the
pca
was
four
dollars
and
42
cents
per
megawatt
hour
and
in
2021
we
project
the
pca
to
go
to
43
dollars.
I
I
I
I
So
next
slide.
So
in
terms
of
advocacy,
this
is
an
issue
that
we're
very
focused
on
and
engaged
on,
both
with
cal
cca
and
other
ccas,
and
we
are
advocating
for
a
number
of
changes.
One,
most
importantly,
is
to
reduce
these
above
market
portfolio
costs
so
that
we
can
improve
affordability
for
all
customers,
not
just
our
customers,
also
to
make
sure
that
the
pci
is
administered
in
a
very
transparent
manner,
so
that,
as
these
fees
are
going
up,
customers
know
exactly
what
they're
paying
for
and
then.
I
Finally,
we
are
advocating
to
reduce
redundancy,
so
those
resources
that
our
customers
are
paying
for
in
pg
e's
portfolio.
We
think
it's
important
that
we
get
the
benefits
of
those
resources,
so
the
next
slide,
so
other
ccas
are
taking
similar
approaches
because
they're
also
facing
revenue
shortfalls
with
the
rising
p
pcia.
I
Some
ccas
have
already
slipped
set
their
rates
slightly
higher
than
pg
e,
but
still
very
competitive.
That's
not
something
that
we're
recommending
today.
Others
are
utilizing
the
reserve.
We
are
recommending
that
at
least
a
portion
of
our
reserve,
but
we
will
still
maintain
our
20
million
by
the
end
of
calendar
year.
2021.
I
I
Many
ccas
are
lowering
their
renewable
and
their
carbon
free
content
and
we
are
recommending
a
an
adjustment
to
our
renewable
content
to
save
costs.
So,
in
summary,
the
bay
area
ccas
currently
offer
between
35
and
60
renewable
power
in
their
default
products,
and
the
rates
vary
from
about
five
percent
below
pg
e
to
six
percent
above
so
next
slide
in
terms
of
our
power
mix
impact
so
40
renewable
energy
is
still
higher
than
the
state
requirements
and
it
is
higher
than
pg
e's
anticipated
renewable
content,
which
is
36
in
2021..
I
I
J
Thank
you
lori
again,
zac
strike
assistant
director.
The
dac
green
tariff
program
is
a
cpuc-funded
program
that
provides
100
solar
energy
and
a
20
discount
for
income
qualifying
customers
in
care
and
pharah
programs
who
live
in
disadvantaged
communities.
This
discount
is,
in
addition
to
customer
discounts
received
through
care
and
fair
programs.
J
Sjce
is
allocated
approximately
1.6
megawatts
for
a
solar
site
which
will
provide
100
renewable
energy
to
approximately
500
san
jose,
clean
energy
customers.
Implementation
of
this
program
supports
the
city's
work
to
advance
equity
by
increasing
access
to
the
benefits
of
renewable
energy
among
customers
that
otherwise
cannot
afford
it.
J
The
eligible
dac
green
terra
project
site
must
be
located
in
a
disadvantaged
community
within
pg
e
service
territory
and
san
jose.
Clean
energy
would
sign
a
power
purchase
agreement
with
the
selected
solar
developer,
san
jose
clean
energy
may
partner,
with
other
interested
ccas
to
issue
a
joint
rfo
for
that
power
plan.
J
J
A
Great
thank
you
both
for
your
work
and
adjusting
to
these
very
difficult
regulatory
circumstances,
particularly
with
the
pcia.
I
appreciate
that
we're
able
to
still
keep
a
price-
that's
just
barely
below
pg
e's
and
higher
renewable
content,
we'll
go
to
the
public
now
on
this
item.
This
is
item
6.
6.1
power
mix
and
rates.
Tesla
women
see.
C
Well,
it
was
a
little
confusing
the
you
know
the
way
it's
written
up
on
the
document
that
it
looked
like
it
was
less
of
renewables
and
and
so,
which
is
not
good
and
and
things
like
that,
it's
really
the
renewable.
That
is
the
issue
of
how
we're
getting
carbon
free
is
our
issue
versus
saving
a
penny,
or
you
know
the
you
know,
like
my
husband,
always
says
what
you
know.
People
say
that
solar
doesn't
pencil
out.
C
We
have
to
look
at
the
real
costs
of
our
climate
crisis
and
looking
especially
at
what's
happening
in
our
global
south
in
nicaragua
hit
by
two
hurricanes.
You
know
in
the
last
week
you
know
155
miles,
though
we
might
not
see
climate
change
here
we
have
to
remember
and
use
our
forethought
to
understand
it's
happening
already
in
other
places
and
we
need
to
make
changes
very
quickly.
C
But
in
addition
to
our
solar
issues
in
our
community,
we
really
need
rooftop
solar,
because
that's
when
you
know
it's
100
solar,
you
don't
have
to
think
about
it.
You
know.
Is
it
20?
Is
it
30?
You
know?
Where
does
it
come
from?
So
we
need
to
really
move
to
that
model
of
rooftop,
solar
and
then
what
what
you
know
in
terms
of
a
backup?
C
K
K
I'm
concerned
that
the
forces
that
led
to
this
sort
of
unhappy
state
aren't
going
away,
however,
and
are
going
to
get
worse
the
city's
making
billion
dollar
commitments
to
buy
wind
and
solar
over
many
years
for
customers
who
could
walk
at
any
time.
I
worry
about
opt-outs.
If
things
go
wrong,
I
worry
about
possible
increased
customer
choice.
K
I
worry
about
technology,
making
self-generation
cheaper
and
easier.
The
city
could
end
up
holding
out-of-market
contracts,
just
like
pg
e
and
trying
to
collect
on
that.
The
other
concern
I
have
is
that
meeting
california's
carbon
goals
is
going
to
be
expensive.
Solar
is
getting
cheaper,
but
you
know
for
the
foreseeable
future.
The
only
way
to
spread
it
over
when
customers
need.
The
power
is
with
battery
storage,
solar
firmed,
with
batteries
to
deliver
the
same
reliability
as
gas
is
many
more
times
expensive
than
gas
and
san.
G
K
Clean
energy
is
just
going
to
get
blamed
for
this
reality
enough
things
have
changed
since
the
sort
of
rosy
predictions
of
the
february
2017
consultants
report,
I
think,
to
take
a
fresh
look.
Clean
energy
is
not
going
to
become
a
cash
cow.
It's
not
going
to
have
a
major
environmental
impact
going
forward.
B
D
All
right,
thank
you.
Local
community
energy
is
part
of
what
can
be
the
future
of
community
and
its
local
government,
sharing
good
democratic
ideals
and
practices
for
a
sustainable
future.
It
is
from
this
local
community.
Energy
is
ideally
permitted
to
end
a
reliance
on
nuclear
power
in
its
economy,
he's
working
to
develop
more
sustainable,
renewable
ideas
and
practices
of
local
communities.
D
Thank
you.
If
I,
if
needed,
can
I
have
possibly
a
few
more
10
15
seconds
and
I'll
give
you
time.
Thank
you
thank
you.
So
I
hope
those
words
that
I
just
offered
they
can
they
can,
I
think,
is
what
the
previous
caller
just
described
as
something
of
the
future
of
local
community
energy.
It's
it's
about
democratic
practices
of
a
local
community
and
it's
about
making
decisions
with
community
and
it
isn't
just
government
dictating
decision
making.
D
It
is
a
sharing
of
decisions
based
on
basically
ideas
of
renewables
and
how
to
leave.
You
know
the
economy
of
nuclear
basically
and
that's
difficult,
and
that's
where
we're
faced
with
at
this
time.
I
talk.
I've
I've
been
going
to
ebce
meetings,
east
bay,
community
energy
for
a
few
months
now
they
have
five
public
meetings
a
month.
So
I'm
a
bit.
I
understand
a
bit
of
what
they're
going
through
san
jose.
They
don't
have
that
they
have
the
you
know
commission
meeting
once
a
month
and
I've
not
been
seeing
that.
D
So
this
is
my
first
time
you
know
viewing
these
things,
and
so
I'm
a
bit
worried
that
you
know
the
you
you've
given
up
on
on
renewables
at
this
time
and
and
and
we're
all
sorry
for
that.
You
know
we
got
a
band
together
in
in
san
jose
and
I
you
know
I
hope
I
can
be
allowed
to
speak
about
east
bay
and
make
comparisons
east
bay,
community,
energy
and
san
jose
community
energy
in
the
future
and
things
things
can
turn
we
just
have
to
be.
I'm
giving
you
some
good
guidelines.
A
All
right,
let's
return
now
to
the
council
questions.
I
again
appreciate
all
the
the
hard
work
to
try
to
grapple
with
these
very
significant
challenges.
I
I
had
a
couple
questions.
One
was
about
the
statement
in
the
in
the
memo
and
I'll
try
to
find
it
was
relatively
early
early
in
the
memo
referred
to.
I
Yeah
that
that's
a
great
question
mary
locato
happy
to
answer
it.
So
you
know
back
in
2018
in
the
phase
one
decision
around
the
pcaa,
they
did
implement
a
cap.
That
cap
is
five
dollars
per
mega
water
annually
that
it
could
increase
by,
and
that
was
meant
to
provide
some
type
of
stability
to
cca
customers.
However,
they
also
approved,
what's
called
a
trigger,
so
the
cap
isn't
really
a
cap
essentially
so
any
time
because
of
the
cap.
There's
a
under
collection.
A
I
Pg
e's
customers
that
that
just
grows
over
time
and
when
it
grows
above
seven
percent,
they
can
file
to
recover
that
all
at
once,
and
so
we
saw
that
you
know
this
summer
with
san
diego
gas
and
electric
we're
facing
it
with
pg
e
in
2019,
southern
california.
Edison
had
that
same
issue,
so
the
fundamental
problem
is
is
that
the
cap
was
never
a
cap.
It
has
this
trigger
mechanism,
which
you
know
you
have
to
pay
it
at
some
point.
I
So,
what's
going
on
right
now,
at
the
puc,
ccas
are
working
with
the
investor
owned
utilities
and
commissioner
guzman
established,
who
is
the
assigned
commissioner
on
this,
to
try
to
get
a
longer
amortization
period
of
the
under
collection,
so
we're
advocating
to
to
collect
that
over
three
years.
It
doesn't
do
anything,
as
you
correctly
noted,
to
the
growing
costs.
It's
you
know,
pay
now
pay
later.
I
A
I
It
looks
like
the
cca
is
going
to
implement
some
measures
to
get
us
a
little
bit
more
transparency.
So,
even
though
the
bill
didn't
go
forward,
it
put
a
lot
of
pressure
on
the
commission
to
get
a
better
outcome
there.
But
to
answer
your
question
yeah,
there's
a
number
of
strategies
well
number
one,
I
would
say
no
cca
has
significantly
priced
above
the
investor
owned
utility.
I
You
see
three
percent
five
percent,
which
in
effect
is
you
know
about
three
dollars
a
month
for
the
average
customer,
so
those
ccas
that
have
been
more
expensive
over
the
years
from
time
to
time
on
average
have
still
been
cheaper
and
they
haven't
seen
large
opt-outs.
Now
I
I
would
expect
probably
larger
than
our
very
very
low
opt-out
rate
of
two
percent
we
might
see.
I
I
You
know
not
not
above
even
50,
our
load
is
locked
in,
so
we
have
a
lot
of
flexibility
there.
I
would
say
the
other
strategy
that
we
think
a
lot
about
as
well
as
johnson
who's.
Our
deputy
director
of
power
resources
is
really
making
sure
those
contracts
that
we're
signing
are
competitive
so
that,
in
the
event
that
we
did
have
to
resell
something
at
some
point
we
would
recover
our
costs
and
you
know
very
proud
to
say
I
think
we've
done
a
very
good
job
there.
I
So
it's
something
we
have
our
eye
on.
I
will
also
say
you
know
I've
been
around
this
a
long
time
and
it's
it's
always
been
the
problem,
even
back
in
2013,
when
that
pci
was
five
dollars.
I
remember
it.
I
remember
vividly
it
going
from
five
to
ten
dollars
and
thinking
it
was
over
and
what
you
have
seen
over
that
time.
As
cc
is
growing
and
thriving
and
providing
real
economic
benefits
to
their
customers
and
accelerating
renewable
energy,
so
I
do
have
hope
that
we
will
forge
ahead,
and
you
know
california
now
has
served.
I
Half
of
california
now
is
served
by
cca
san
diego's.
Launching
this
year,
peninsula
is
expanding
into
low
spaniards,
east
bay,
community
energy
tracy
is
joining
them
this
year,
so
it
continues
to
be
expansion,
even
with
all
of
the
challenges
in
front
of
us-
and
I
would
say,
I
think
it's
really
important
for
ccas
to
be
out
there,
because
the
issue
is
these
above
market
costs
and
ccas
at
the
end
of
the
day
provide
competition.
I
A
A
Okay,
that's
helpful,
yeah
and
then,
finally,
I
understand
the
desire
for
a
direct
trying
to
remember
the
name
of
the
term
sort
of
direct
allocation
or
renewable
source
where
we
get
a
stable
customer
over
the
long
run,
but
I'm
trying
to
understand
why
it's
beneficial
for
a
customer,
because
I
got
my
total
green
customer,
so
I
know
I'm
getting
100
renewable,
more
or
less,
and
why
wouldn't
a
company
just
sign
up
for
that?
Why
would
they
hook
themselves
up
to
a
long-term
contract
on
a
on
a
particular
removable
source.
I
Yeah,
that's
a
good
question
so
that
this
program
is
really
targeted
at
some
of
our
large
commercial
customers,
and
you
know
the
quick
reason
is
they
would
get
a
more
attractive
rate,
that's
fixed
over
the
long
term
as
a
total
green
customer
you're.
You
know:
you're
assured
that
you're
getting
100
clean
energy,
but
rates
change
over
time,
and
so
it
really
provides
them
with
stability,
and
we
know
a
lot
of
large
corporate
customers
are
looking
to
make
investments
in
renewable
energy
because
they
have
very
aggressive
sustainability
goals.
I
H
Thank
you
lori,
and
thank
you
for
the
the
the
report
and
the
direction
you
know
when
when
when
we
first
put
the
ccna
together,
you
know
I
I
had
my
misgivings
that
we
were
getting
the
worst
case
scenario
and
it's.
This
is
kind
of
proven
out
that
we
didn't
really
get
the
full
worst
case
scenario.
That
being
said,
you
know-
and
I
do
have
many
many
concerns
about,
especially
you
know,
victor
the
the
gentleman
who
spoke
really
articulated
some
of
the
concerns
that
I've
had
as
well.
H
If
these,
if
these
charges
keep
going
up
and
then
you
know,
we
can't
be
above
pg
e,
why
would
we
want
to
be
above
pg
e?
Everybody
could
leave
us
quickly.
You
know
what
would
be
the
contingency
for
that
and
and
quite
frankly,
I
remember
putting
in
the
ordinance
that
we
must
have
a
plan
that
that
is
lower
than
pg
e
and
we
were
you
know.
I
So,
just
to
answer
we're
not
recommending
that
right
now-
and
you
know
my
strong
preference
will
is
to
I
absolutely
agree
with
you-
is
to
stay
below
pg
e.
You
know
I
can't
predict
what
the
future
you
know
might
bring,
but
today
we're
not
there
and
that
you
know
we're
going
to
do
everything
we
can
to
remain
below
pg
e's
rates
and
nora.
If
you
want
to
talk
about
the
ordinance
question,
I'd.
B
H
H
Thank
you.
My
second
questions
are:
are
taxpayers
on
the
hook
in
your
opinion,
if
this
were
to
keep
going
in
the
wrong
direction
and
people
were
to
walk
away
from
san
jose's
plan,
because
you
know
they
either
get
parody,
I
guess
or
they
or
they
go
on
solar.
Quite
frankly,
I
just
invested
in
solar
and
you
know
so
so
not
you
know
not
not
to
hurt
san
jose
anyway.
H
I
Yeah
that
that's
a
great
question
council
member
and
congratulations
for
going
solar,
and
I
think
that
hurts
our
program
at
all.
That's
a
great
thing
in
terms
of
hurting
the
taxpayers.
We
are
paying
back
the
commercial
paper
that
the
city
provided
to
start
our
launch
that
will
be
paid
back
this
year,
so
there
are
no
taxpayer
impacts.
If
we
ultimately
have
to
unwind
the
program,
we
would
sell
off
those
resources
and
there's
no
impact
to
the
general
fund.
H
Unless
you
change
the
ordinance,
I
think
I'll
I'll
just
wait
for
no,
I
don't
have
any
more
questions.
I
appreciate
that
the
predicament
that
you're
in
even
with
all
the
changes
to
the
cpu
you
see,
I
I
is
there-
nobody
who's
favorable
to
the
to
the
cities
and
the
and
that
the
community
choice
that
is
on
that
that
board.
I
Yeah,
it's
been
a
hard
organization
to
to
turn.
You
know
over
the
years.
There
certainly,
though,
have
been
friendly
commissioners
to
local
government.
You
know,
ccas
have
been
around
for
about
a
decade.
Marin
is
celebrating
its
10th
year
of
operation
and
they've
expanded
across
contra
prosta
county
into
richmond
been
very
successful,
and
you
know
things
change.
You
go
through
a
period
where
commissioners
are
not
friendly,
there's
also
been
periods
where
they've
been
more
friendly.
So
that
is
something
that
we
are
very
focused
on.
I
H
B
B
H
B
M
H
A
H
N
N
I
I
I
It
doesn't
really
incentivize
them
to
do
things
such
as
control,
their
operations
and
maintenance
costs
to
sell
off
their
excess
resources.
In
a
timely
manner
to
refinance
some
of
those
legacy
contracts,
you
know
many
municipal
utilities
have
extended
the
term
on
some
of
those
longer
solar
contracts
and
lowered
the
price.
So
certainly
there
are
actions
you
know.
I
N
N
I
am
beside
myself
with
this
fee
and
the
fact
that
it
is
basically
doubled
in
the
two
years
since
we've
had
san
jose
clean
energy,
our
rates
would
be
38
lower
in
20
20
21
without
this
needless
fee,
and
so
I
just
I
want
to
encourage
anyone
watching
this,
to
write
to
the
california
public
utilities
commission
and
to
write
to
the
governor,
because
he's
the
one
who
makes
the
appointments
to
the
cpuc
and
and
tell
them
to
stop
these
increases
and
to
support
ccas.
I
just
think
it's.
It's
absolutely
ridiculous.
N
A
It
is
clear
that
you
know
they
are
very
powerful
in
in
sacramento,
and
this
is
both
the
legislature
and
the
puc.
That's
really
a
play
here,
and
it's
not
just
about
the
utilities.
It's
definitely
about
the
ability
of
the
ibw
to
to
continue
to
express
a
strong
bias
toward
pg
e
and
that's
that's
continues
to
be
a
constraint
for
us.
A
council
member
pros.
K
Yeah,
I
just
want
to
piggyback
a
couple
comments
number
one
I
think
councilmember
davis
said
it
well
and
her
passion
was
enough
to
express
it.
I
wouldn't
just
piggyback
on
that
and
I'll
just
say
that
in
in
our
encouragement
of
getting
support,
I
think
from
community
members
number
one.
It's
it's
educating
them.
So
I
think
this
is
great.
K
D
A
A
C
Good,
thank
you
so
much.
Okay,
waste
water
right.
We
I
was
speaking
at
the
county.
They
have
a
a
sustainability
issue
with
water
and
how
we
need
to
really
help,
as
even
what
we're
seeing
right
now
is
that,
most
probably
we
are
in
a
drought,
which
was
what
was
projected
by
the
science
in
terms
of
climate
change.
C
Is
that
you
know
droughts
would
be
worse
and
things
like
that,
so
we
need
to
be
in
a
conservation
mode
all
the
time
and
never
give
that
up,
and
one
of
the
ways
that
I
was
talking
with
the
county
is,
you
know
to
put
irrigation
in
so
that
we
can
grow
food?
That
was
something
that
we
need
to
have
urban
sustainability,
but
how
to
give
a
discount
for
us
so
that
it
doesn't
cost
the
the
ratepayer
as
we're
talking
about
with
electricity
more
for
our
water
consumption,
but
then
again
our
water.
C
C
Is
that
because,
where
it's
located
right
there
by
the
ocean
with
sea
level
rise,
we're
gonna
have
trouble
with
that,
and
so
we
have
to
be
planning
and
have
all
these
issues
that
we
have
to
deal
with,
which
are
major
infrastructure
issues
as
we
go
forward,
and
so
in
terms
of
water.
It
needs
to
be.
You
know,
like
I
said,
on
our
properties
as
much
as
we
can
being
hyper
local,
that
all
of
our
gray
water
stays
on
the
property
and
that
recharges
our
ground
and
things
like
that.
C
B
B
A
O
We're
proud
to
be
here
today
to
highlight
the
critical
climate
work
we've
maintained
during
the
pandemic
and
an
otherwise
very
challenging
year,
despite
everything
that
2020
has
thrown
at
us.
Climate
change
and
global
warming
are
not
taking
2020
off
and
our
mission
remains
as
important
as
ever.
So
today's
next
slide.
Today's
presentation,
I
believe,
is
our
fifth
annual
update
on
climate
smart
san
jose.
O
So
as
we
go
into
this
presentation,
we
just
want
to
remind
you-
and
we've
talked
about
some
of
those
some
of
these
things
today-
that
cities
play
a
crucial
role
in
our
nation's
economic
development
and
climate
action.
Ninety
percent
of
gdp
and
eighty
percent
of
us
eighty-six
percent
of
u.s
jobs,
are
generated
in
three
percent
of
the
continental
united
states,
mostly
our
cities,
two-thirds
of
the
world's
energy
is
consumed
by
cities,
and
seventy
of
global
greenhouse
gas
emissions
are
produced
by
cities.
A
O
Thank
you
so
we'll
give
a
quick
background
on
climate
smart
today
we'll
talk
about
how
we're
engaging
the
community
during
covid
cover
the
city's
own
climate.
Progress
in
operation
of
our
own
facility
take
really
appreciate
that,
and
so
with
that,
if
we
could
go
to
the
net,
I
can't
see
what
slide
we're
on
I'm
sorry,
I
can't
if
you
go
the
next
slide.
O
Thank
you.
If
you
look,
this
is
kind
of
the
framing
of
climate,
smart,
san
jose,
and
we
really
are
working
as
an
organization
and
as
a
community
frankly
to
to
deliver
on
the
plan
that
council
adopted
in
2018.
As
you
may
recall,
the
plan
is
centered
around
people.
That's
one
of
the
things
that
makes
our
plan
different
from
others.
O
We
focus
on
the
city
serving
as
a
catalyst
for
outside
action
in
our
community
planning.
We
had
a
lot
of
public
input
and
we're
aiming
at
improving
the
quality
of
life.
We
have.
We
are
implementation
ready,
so
we
focused
on
things
that
were
ready
to
go,
cost
effective
and
would
create
material
change
for
climate
and
for
our
community
better
benefit,
and
it
also
aligns
deeply
with
our
general
plan
and
our
environmental
goals
we're
one
of
the
few
cities
that
have
an
inclusive
plan.
O
The
plan
has
three
pillars
with
nine
strategies,
and
each
of
the
nine
strategies
has
bold
goals,
and
so
some
of
the
key
things
to
focus
on
are
densification
of
our
neighborhoods,
like
urban
villages.
That
helps
us
get
people
out
of
their
cars,
and
that
is
a
key
component
to
meeting
our
objectives,
creating
local
jobs
again
to
reduce
reduce
vehicle
miles,
travel
to
embrace
our
california
climate,
to
continue
to
move
beyond
the
state's
water
goals
and
to
make
homes
more
efficient
and
affordable
with
zero
net
carbon
goals.
And
we
talked
about
that
with
our
reach
code.
O
So
in
the
absence
of
the
current
federal
climate
leadership,
the
community
came
together
to
support
principles
of
the
paris
agreement,
and
we
are
looking
forward
to
a
time
when
we
can
re-engage
in
that.
But
until
then
we
have
a
plan
to
meet
those
objectives.
Some
key
things
to
highlight
is
in
2020.
All
new
homes
will
be
zero
net
carbon.
We
achieve
that
through
the
reach
goal.
Reach
code
by
2030,
60
of
all
passenger
vehicles
will
be
electric.
We
are
presently
the
number
one
ev
deployed
capital
in
the
us.
O
O
San
jose
will
be
the
first,
the
world's
first
one
gigawatt,
solar
city,
over
90
percent
of
all
of
our
roof
tops
are
suitable
for
solar
electricity
and
we
need
to
continue
to
to
leverage
that
and
by
20
and
40
4
out
of
10
commute
trips
will
be
taken
in
single
occupancy
vehicles.
So
that's
a
bit
about
the
vision
of
where
we're
going
and
and
with
that
I'll
turn
it
over
to
ken
to
bring
us
back
to
today
and
the
progress
we've
made
since
our
last
six
month
update.
P
Thanks
carrie,
so
we'll
start
off
with
community
engagement.
Obviously
one
of
the
big
changes
over
the
past
year
has
been
how
we
engage
with
our
community
during
the
pandemic
and
so
featured
here.
On
this
slide,
you
have
one
of
our
virtual
house
parties
promoting
our
trilingual
web
platform-
climate,
smart
challenge,
web
platform-
that
we'll
talk
about
later
on
just
a
shout
out
to
the
amazing
and
ongoing
support
that
our
partners
and
mothers
out
front
have
been
providing
us
on
that
effort.
P
P
And
now
those
of
the
governor
one
area
need
of
needed
attention.
Is
the
charging
infrastructure
to
get
all
those
vehicles
on
the
road
that
is
being
helped
tremendously
by
the
cal
ev
vip
dollars
that
san
jose
clean
energy
is
leading
on
our
reach
code
on
new
construction
mandates.
Some
of
that
that
charging
infrastructure
be
put
in
place,
but
a
huge
amount
does
come
from
cal
evip,
which
levered
leveraged
millions
in
state
dollars
against
some
matching
funds
from
the
utility
building
electrification.
P
P
P
P
Pillar
two,
a
vibrant,
vibrant
city
of
connected
and
focused
growth
d.o.t
is
working
toward
a
comprehensive
access
and
mobility
plan
that
ramses
is
going
to
be
covering
very
shortly
parking
management.
The
city
is
committed
to
the
recently
extended
american
cities,
climate
challenge,
to
re-evaluate
our
parking
policies
and
through
our
acc
partners.
The
city
will
continue
to
comprehensively
evaluate
and
pursue
updating
of
parking
requirements
for
new
development
to
design
a
parking
strategy
that
will
enable
no
and
low
parking
development,
particularly
around
transit,
drive
electric
and
drive
forward.
L
L
I'm
going
to
start
off
talking
a
little
bit
about
the
bike
plan.
As
you
all
know,
we
adopted
this
quite
recently
last
month
or
so,
and
this
this
plan
really
sets
a
really
high
bar
across
the
country.
It's
a
it's
a
real
leadership
document,
a
lot
of
getting
getting
a
lot
of
attention,
helping
us
kind
of
hopefully
get
more
resources
to
implement
it,
but
yeah
we're
really
looking
at
upgrading
what
the
bike
infrastructure
looks
like
how
safe
people
feel
and
are
in
that.
L
A
better
experience
we're
about
halfway
through
the
implementation
of
this
we've
put
the
the
new
road
surface
down.
We've
put
the
paint
down
and
now
we're
doing
some
financing
work
to
get
the
final
money
in
place
to
to
get
the
the
physical
barriers
put
in
for
this
10th
11th,
but
we're
also
doing
work
on
fruit.
Dale
nagley
san
antonio
street
is
a
really
great
one.
L
One
of
the
big
directives
from
council
when
we
adopted
the
bike
plan
was
to
make
sure
we
really
focus
on
east
west
corridors
and
we're
already
working
on
that
getting
san
antonio
street
in
place.
That's
one
of
the
few
ways
to
get
over
101
from
the
east
side
to
downtown
and
we're
getting
some
new
protections
in
there
next
slide.
Please
so
bike
plan
all
right.
Now
we
got
one
mode.
Now
we
got
to
really
think
about
the
entire
city
in
all
modes.
L
One
of
the
great
things
that
happened
when
climate
smart
was
adopted.
We
got
this
this
this
little
note
from
from
mayor
licardo
saying:
do
we
actually
have
a
plan
to
change
the
mode
split?
Well,
that's
what
we're
working
on
right
now,
the
transportation
environment
committee's
seen
this
a
few
times
we're
working
really
hard,
in
fact
we're
actually
having
public
workshops.
Last
week
and
this
week
tomorrow
night,
we
have
a
vietnamese
language
workshop.
L
We
have
over
50
people
signed
up
for
that
and
thursday.
We
have
a
spanish
language
one,
so
we're
really
working
to
figure
out.
How
do
we
meet
these?
These
really
ambitious
goals
that
that
you
all
and
council
have
given
us
encoun
and
staff.
How
do
we
do
it
in
a
way?
That's
equitable,
making
sure
we're
listening
to
folks
who've
traditionally
not
been
listened
to
very
well
and
and
and
make
a
plan
to
meet
these
goals
together.
L
L
So
we've
done
a
lot
of
work,
kind
of
refining
the
names,
but
also
the
content
of
what
all
of
these
are
and
we'll
be
posting
all
that
very
shortly
and
if
you're
interested
and
can
speak,
vietnamese
or
spanish.
Please
join
us
again
tomorrow
and
thursday
to
learn
some
more
next
slide.
Please
right!
So
how
do
we
achieve
real
mode
shift
right?
L
That's
what
this
plan
is
about
right
and
so
we're
we're
really
looking
into
strategies
that
work
in
diverse
parts
of
the
city,
we're
looking
across
the
country
and
across
the
world
to
see
how
cities
are
doing
this.
One
of
the
most
interesting
things
we're
learning
right
now
is
that
we
are
part
of
a
cohort
of
cities
across
the
country
and
across
the
world
that
are
facing
the
same
problem
and
trying
to
tackle
it.
Minneapolis
austin,
denver,
seattle,
portland
dc,
just
to
name
a
few.
L
We're
also
looking
at
our
organization
we're
going
through
an
organizational
review
to
help
us
understand
how
we're
lined
up
with
these
goals
and
see
how
we
might
be
able
to
improve
skills
or
or
processes
or
even
structures,
personnel
structures
within
the
department
to
see
how
we
might
deliver
on
this.
That
much
better,
and
you
know
we
we've
expanded
the
telework.
A
L
Obviously
we're
all
kind
of
doing
that
and
we're
really
trying
to
push
for
a
tdm
manager.
We
really
appreciate
the
the
the
council
memo
on
this
trying
to
further
that
work
with
us.
We
really
appreciate
that.
It's
it's
a
needed
position
to
get
the
city
to
do
what
it
kind
of
walk.
The
talk
and,
like
I
said,
we're
trying
to
build
support
right
now.
For
this
we're
collecting
feedback
on
through
social
media
move
san
jose.
L
The
website,
as
well
as
the
social
media
handle
on
twitter,
facebook
and
instagram,
are
constantly
posting
trying
to
generate
an
energy
and
interest.
That's
working
pretty
well
right!
Now,
we're
pretty
happy
with
it,
but
the
more
we
can
get
it
out
there.
The
better
and
we've
formed
an
equity
council
made
up
of
four
community-based
organizations.
L
That
is
helping
us
kind
of
keep
our
our
focus
on
the
the
voices
of
folks
that
don't
traditionally
show
up
to
public
meetings
working
with
the
silicon
valley,
assisted
living
center
people
acting
in
community
together,
packed
latinos
united
for
new
america
luna
and
the
vietnamese
volunteer
organization
vivo
to
make
sure
that
we
are
listening
as
deeply
as
we
can.
As
we
develop
this
plan
next
slide,
please
all
right
and
lastly,
we
have
launched
and
relaunched
right.
L
So
we
we
tried
to
get
this
electric
purchasing
program
off
the
ground.
It
kind
of
crashed
in
the
immediate
dust
of
the
covid
closures
and
we
did
get
it
back
up
and
we
have
five
dealerships
going.
It
is
ending
we're
looking
at
trying
to
get
an
extension
or
a
revival
of
that
coming
up
and
we're
still
kind
of
we're
still
gathering
data
on
final
purchases
that
were
related
to
it.
We've
also
been
doing
free,
ev,
financial
counseling
for
low
and
moderate
income
households.
L
These
workshops
have
been
pretty
well
attended
and
done
in
multiple
languages,
and
this
is
really
giving
people
that
that
you
know
that
next
step
up,
you
know
a
lot
of
people
see
the
electric
cars
they
see,
tesla's,
they
think
of
elon
musk.
They
think
they
need
to
be
billionaires
to
be
a
to
drive
an
electric
vehicle.
P
Thanks
ramses,
this
is
our
pillar
three
of
climate,
smart,
an
economically
inclusive
city
of
opportunity.
I
mentioned
the
climate
smart
challenge
web
platform.
We've
got
this
fantastic
platform
that
to
help
guide
residents
in
three
languages
on
how
to
reduce
their
carbon
footprint
and
energy
costs,
it's
really
fun
to
use
I'll
show
you
some
examples.
On
the
next
slide,
usdn
edi
fellow
we
got
funding
through
the
urban
sustainability
directors
network
san
jose
was
selected
as
one
of
seven
cities
to
host
a
usdn
equity
diversity
and
inclusion.
P
That
heat
out
the
kind
of
trippy
picture
on
the
slide
shows
the
cooling
purple
that
was
taken
by
yours
truly
with
that.
This
really
cool
infrared
camera
shows
the
cooling
purple
effect
of
the
trees
versus
the
hot
yellow
of
a
street.
So
we'll
continue
to
explore
opportunities
to
better
identify
these
areas
of
the
city,
so
that
mitigative
cooling
strategies
can
be
deployed.
P
This
is
the
web
platform
just
some
examples
there,
but
you
can.
You
can
choose
your
actions
based
on
their
co2
impact
or
on
cost
form
teams,
with
your
neighbors
or
even
friendly
competitions
available
in
english,
spanish
and
vietnamese,
and
again
thanks
here
to
mothers
out
front
for
getting
that
so
heavily
promoted
for
us
resources
and
performance
tracking
take
definitely
taking
advantage
of
those
subsidized
climate
action
fellows
mentioned
in
the
mayor
and
council
member
memo.
Those
folks
will
be
coming
in
to
multiple
departments,
I
believe
in
january.
P
P
B
I'm
going
climate
change
is
on
everyone's
mind
and
I'm
very,
very
proud
of
the
city
of
san
jose
for
putting
together
the
climate,
smart
action
plan
and
doing
some
amazing
things
to
get
in
front
of
it
all
so
I've
been
with
the
santa
clara
valley,
water
district
now
known,
of
course,
is
valley
water
for
almost
23
years.
The
number
one
use
of
energy
in
the
state
of
california,
the
single
largest
use
of
energy
in
the
state
of
california,
is
the
transportation
and
treatment
of
water.
B
B
B
A
B
P
B
Friendly
in
her
life
and
very
climate
conscious
and
so
there's
actually
more
for
some
of
the
rest
of
us
to
use,
I've
been
advocating
for
public
transit,
I've
been
attending
bt
board
meetings
and
getting
public
comments
in
order
to
improve
and
increase
public
transit
and
now
during
covered.
We
have
to
try
to
save
it.
Climate,
smart,
san
jose,
means
that
the
city
of
san
jose
as
a
community
is
trying
to
get
to
zero
emissions
so
that
we
can
help
stop
climate
change.
E
B
B
A
Great
thanks,
carrie
thanks
ken
and
thanks
to
everybody,
ramses
and
everybody
on
the
team
pushing
so
hard,
so
we'll
go
to
the
public
for
comments
on
this
item
and
tessa.
Woodman
see
you're
perfectly
well
lined
up
here
to
speak
on
this
specific
item,
which
is
climate.
Smart,
san
jose's,
semi-annual,
update.
C
I
guess
the
issue
is
the
car
and
we
have
to
get
rid
of
the
car,
and
I
know
nobody
wants
to
hear
that
because
it's
not
economic
growth
and
it's
not
all
the
corporations
that
fund
all
your
political
campaigns.
We
have
to
get
rid
of
the
car
and
the
thing
is
the
electric
car.
You
can
say:
oh
it's
a
bridge
just
like
we
said
natural
gas
was
a
bridge.
We
can't
we
have
no
more
time
for
bridges
and
the
thing
is
we
have
to
reduce
so
dramatically
our
fossil
fuel
use.
C
It
really
is
the
bicycle
and
the
bicycle
can
be
an
electric
bicycle,
so
you
know
there
are
ways
of
making
it
work
for
a
lot
of
people.
Even
if
you
have
you
know,
mobility
issues,
you
have
an
electric
bicycle,
because
that's
the
type
of
reduction
and
the
issues
are
the
issues
of
the
car
go
far
beyond
just
the
energy
use.
It's
really
a
socially
isolating
event
to
drive
in
a
car
and
you're
you're
behind
tinted
windows,
you're
going
very
fast,
and
this
is
what
changed
under
kovit
people
said.
C
Oh,
it's
so
nice
we're
seeing
people
walk
around
our
neighborhood,
and
this
is
you
know
human
scale,
and
you
know
when
we
go
by
so
fast.
It
isolates
us,
and
so
it's
not
human
scale.
The
car
is
not
unit
scale
in
and
of
itself
and
and
these
mental
health
issues
are
very
critical
as
we
are
dealing
with
so
many
issues
today.
So
even
you
know
creating
the
bicycle.
C
One
of
our
neighbors
was
discussing
that
somebody
helped
her
with
her
bicycle
when
she
got
a
flat-
and
I
noticed
that
all
the
time
on
my
bicycle-
people
stop
because
they're
not
running
around
at
40
miles
an
hour.
You
know
and
they're
not
you
know.
So
it's
it's
a
it's
a
community
of
people
that
help
each
other,
because
it's
human
scale
and
people
are
going
by
and
they
see
that
you're
broken
down.
Oh,
you
need
some
help.
C
D
Yeah,
this
was
really
what
tessa
just
said
about
car
use.
You
know,
I
learned
an
important
lesson
from
her
that
you
know,
even
as
we're
making
we'll
be
making
a
push
towards
the
electric
car
in
the
in
this
coming
decade.
You
know
it
it
is
not
the
end-all
be-all
and
that
bicycles
and
pedestrian,
and
hopefully
not
the
return
of
mass
transit.
D
Can
you
know
they're
they're,
that
was
that
was
the
heart
of
the
lineup
for
a
future
for
my
future
anyway,
and
so
I
you
know
thanks
a
lot
for
this
item,
it
was
nice
to
see
community
efforts.
I
mean
if
you
can,
connect
those
community
efforts
to
local
community
energy
ideas
and
just
have
lori
mitchell
come
by
every
once
in
a
while
to
give
lectures
and
updates.
D
You
know,
I
think,
that's
hidden
in
the
ballpark
of
what,
where
local
community
energy
needs
to
be
thinking,
and
going.
I
mean
it
really
needs
to
gather
its
ideas
around
what
we're
going
to
do
with
our
energy
future
as
a
local
community
and
what
can
be
renewable
ideas
and
there's
just
the
perfect
combination.
D
G
G
San
jose
needs
to
begin
to
seriously
assess
how
to
adapt
to
climate
risks
that
are
already
here
in
ways
that
protect
communities
and
improve
quality
of
life
for
residents.
One
of
the
most
effective
steps
that
san
jose
can
take
to
become
more
climate
resilient
is
to
prioritize
and
coordinate
a
comprehensive
plan
to
expand
urban
greening
nature-based
solutions
like
urban
greening,
including
green
streets,
rain,
gardens
and
urban
tree
canopy.
Don't
just
don't
just
address
one
city
priority,
but
support
a
whole
host
of
climate
adaptation
benefits
that
are
urgently
needed.
G
These
strategies
can
alleviate
the
urban
heat
that
ken
was
describing
better,
manage
more
frequent
rain
events,
improve
air
and
water
quality,
make
streets
safer
and
more
appealing
for
pedestrians
and
bicyclists,
which
is
much
more
important
now
during
shelter
in
place
when
people
need
safe
outdoor
space
in
their
neighborhoods
and
in
addition
to
enhancing
san
jose's
climate
resilience.
Prioritizing
urban
greening
directly
supports
multiple
mitigation
goals
of
climate,
smart,
san
jose,
including
water
conservation,
sequestration,
reduction
of
energy
use
and
mode
shift
to
public
transit.
G
The
city's
current
green
storm
water
plan
recognizes
these
benefits,
but
the
plan
lacks
timelines,
project
lists
and
potential
funding
sources
for
above-ground
urban
greening
elements
so
save
the
bay
and
our
partners.
The
green
belt
alliance
have
supported.
Let
us
submitted
letters
advocating
that
the
city
council
include
a
comprehensive
and
coordinated
urban
greening
strategy
as
a
priority
in
2021,
because
it's
a
single
strategy
that
results
in
multiple
significant
environments,
environmental
and
community
benefits.
G
We
appreciate
the
direction
that
the
mayor
and
several
council
members
have
offered
today
to
leverage
the
climate
action
corps,
partnership
to
support
these
adaptation
and
mitigation
strategies,
and
just
urge
you
to
to
consider
to
adopt
green
or
urban
greeting
as
a
strategy
for
this
priority.
Thank
you.
Q
Hey
y'all,
this
is
alex
shore
executive,
director
of
catalyze
sv,
so
much
good
stuff.
So
much
amazing
stuff
in
this
report
today-
and
I
want
to
thank
everyone
but
I'll
not
be
able
to
get
to
everyone
so
I'll
start
with
carrie
romanow,
thanks
for
a
great
report
from
you
and
your
team.
Thank
you,
mayor
licardo,
councilmember,
jimenez,
councilmember,
perales
and
councilmember
davis.
For
your
memo
anytime,
an
organization
like
ours
sees
the
word
community
engagement
and
bringing
in
community-based
organizations
as
part
of
the
city's
plan.
Q
We
want
to
give
three
cheers
to
that:
what
a
wonderful
way
to
continue
to
engage
the
community
through
some
of
the
assets
you
already
have
in
the
community.
So
if
we
can
support
you
at
all
in
that,
please
let
us
know,
but
we're
just
so
delighted
about
this
other
great
stuff
that
stood
out
tonight
was
ramsey's
talking
about
the
tdm
manager
partner.
Q
When
we
come
to
you
as
an
organization
that
advocates
for
projects
is
we're
trying
to
get
projects
as
good
as
possible,
and
one
of
the
ways
we
try
to
get
them
as
good
as
possible
is
to
reach
the
goals
of
the
climate.
Smart
plan,
so
when
you
come-
and
you
hear
us
talk
about
less
parking
and
more
forms
of
mobility,
besides
the
individually
driven
automobile
and
more
homes
in
urban
villages
than
what
say,
the
developer
might
have
proposed
right
off
the
bat.
Q
E
Hi
everybody
linda
hutchins,
up
front.
It's
been
a
long
day.
Sorry,
I'm
talking
fast.
Thank
you
for
the
update
on
the
climate,
smart
plan.
We
were
so
excited,
you
adopted
it
in
2018
and
we
really
appreciate
the
hard-working
staff
across
many
departments
to
implement
such
innovative
ways
to
become
a
more
sustainable
city
and
serve
as
a
model
for
others.
We're
really
proud
to
be
part
of
the
climate.
E
Of
course,
taking
individual
actions
is
just
one
part
of
this.
It's
really
important,
of
course,
to
have
climate,
smart
policies,
and
we
are
really
excited
about
the
proposed
rezoning
of
north
coyote
valley
and
hopefully
in
two
weeks,
banning
all
gas
from
all
new
buildings.
So
we
really
appreciate
that
we
want
to
bring
up
one
other
idea
on,
as
you
work
to
decarbonize
buildings,
in
a
way
that
centers
health
and
equity,
we
urge
you
to
consider
creating
a
similar
incentive
program
like
the
heat
pump,
water,
heater
rebate
for
induction
stove
cooktops.
E
This
will
improve
health
and
safety
and
reduce
greenhouse
gas
emissions.
It
will
also
advance
equity
communities
of
color
are
suffering
from
covid,
disproportionately
and
breathing.
Polluted
air
creates
increases
mortality
rates
from
coven.
Did
you
know
that
children
growing
up
in
homes
with
gas
stoves
are
42
more
likely
to
experience
symptoms
of
asthma?
E
It's
a
very
serious
issue
that
many
people
are
not
aware
of.
They
don't
know
how
dangerous
their
gas
stoves
are.
So
we
think
the
city
you
could
take
a
lead
role
in
what
is
up
front
is
standing
by
to
partner
with
you.
We
participated
in
a
study
with
sierra
club,
rmi
and
psr
on
these,
so
we
want
to
help
spread
the
word
and
also
make
sure
people
can
afford
to
switch
out
to
induction
stoves,
which
are
the
latest
and
greatest.
Finally,
I
just
want
to
put
in
one
more
plug
for
the
climate.
Smart
challenge.
E
A
Thank
you
all
right.
Let's
come
back
to
the
council,
I
really
want
to
thank
again
the
entire
team
and
all
the
many
partners
who've
been
working
so
hard
with
us
on
this.
I
also
want
to
thank
my
own
team,
lily,
guggenheim
and
scott
green
for
their
work
on
the
memo
and
to
all
my
colleagues
who
also
participated
and
worked
on
that.
Let's
go
to
council
member
dev
davis.
N
N
It
gives
people
real
options.
It
levels
the
the
transportation
field,
the
getting
around
field
as
opposed
to
the
playing
field.
So
I'm
I'm
really
excited
about
about
all
those
things
in
our
in
our
climate.
Smart
update-
and
I
just
wanted
to
reiterate-
and
thank
thank
carrie
and
staff
for
supporting
our
memo.
I
think
it's
time
for
us
to
walk
our
talk
and
I'm
looking
forward
to
hopefully
getting
funding
for
a
tdm
coordinator
for
the
city
so
that
we
can
reduce
our
our
city,
employee
solo,
auto
commute
trips.
N
I
think
that's
that's
going
to
be
a
really
important
way
to
demonstrate
our
commitment
to
to
reducing
the
transportation
greenhouse
gas
emissions
and
then
the
other
thing
we
didn't
really
talk
about
too
much.
I
just
want
to
make
sure
people
are
aware.
Is
that
we're
we're
asking
for
a
zero
emission
neighborhood
pilot
and
that's
going
to
be
hopefully
in
a
neighborhood
that
has
suffered
disproportionately
from
pollution.
So
it
will
do
two
things.
N
It's
a
proof
point
for
us
to
be
able
to
replicate
across
the
city
and
other
neighborhoods,
but
it
also
is
part
of
our
our
equity
work
and
bringing
that
in
as
kerry
as
you
stated
in
the
beginning,
that
inclusivity
is
a
very
important
part
of
our
climate,
smart
plan,
and
we
built
that
in
the
beginning.
So
with
that,
I
will
move
the
memo
that
I
co-authored
with
the
mayor
and
my
colleagues,
council
members,
jimenez
and
perales.
A
P
Yeah
just
to
clarify
we'll
we
we
alternate
each
year,
so
what
like
2018
would
be
a
municipal
inventory
2019
will
go
back
to
community
wide
and
we'll
keep
alternating
that
way.
Okay,
we
don't
think
we'll
see
the
needle
move
so
fast
that
we
would
need
to
do
that
annually
and
we
do
have
a
fantastic
data.
Analytic
analytics
lead
now
in-house
and
she
can
do
all
that
stuff
for
us
without
pricey
consultants.
So
that's
great.
A
Yeah,
we
love
that.
Thank
you
yeah
exciting.
I
noticed
there
was
really
a
lot
to
cheer
about.
You
know
to
jump
ahead,
a
couple
items
I
think
we'd
reduce
per
capita
ghg
emissions
about
29.
I
think
between
2008
and
2017.,
that
was
before
we
even
launched
san
jose
clean
energy,
and
I
know
we
got
lots
and
that's
what
we
expect
to
be
a
big
source
of
our
ghg
savings.
A
A
R
Okay,
great,
my
apologies,
so
this
land
use
item
is
an
appeal
of
the
planning
director's
approval
of
the
tentative
subdivision
map
and
site
development.
Permit
file
number
h19-039
for
the
six
slot
single
family
subdivision
project
located
at
6805
almaden
road.
The
project
was
approved
at
the
september
16
2020
planning
director's
hearing,
as
it
was
in
conformance
with
the
general
plan
and
city
ordinances
and
policies.
R
An
appeal
was
filed
on
september
23rd
by
lance
and
karen
danby.
The
appellants
listed
the
grounds
for
the
appeal
to
include
conformance
with
the
general
plan,
the
layout
of
the
subdivision,
creating
a
key
lot
for
lot.
6
concerns
with
the
2
story
home
on
lot
6
and
concerns
about
the
5
foot
side,
setback
for
lot
6.
R
since
staff
prepared
the
council
memorandum
for
the
appeal,
the
applicant
and
the
appellant
reached
an
agreement
and
notified
city
staff.
Last
week,
staff
issued
a
supplemental
memorandum
today
to
detail
the
agreement,
which
includes
changing
the
street
furniture
width
for
lot
five
from
72
feet
to
58
feet.
R
Changing
the
area
of
lot,
five
from
9190
square

This

6
changes
were
made
to

to
reduce
the
width
of
the
street
frontage
and
to
reduce
the

size
after
reviewing
the
proposed

from
the
applicant
staff
determined
that
these
changes
do
not
negate
the
conformance
findings
made
in
the
original
tentative

and
site
development.
Permit
and
staff
has
updated.
The
tentative
map,
resolution
and
site
development
permit
resolution
to
reflect
these
changes.
R
So
staff
recommends
that
the
city
council
consider
the
exemption,
pursuant
to
section
15332
of
the
guidelines
to
sql
for

and
adopt
the
amended

for
the
tentative

Going
further
east
is
a
project
proposal
by
the
pacific
companies
shown
as
file
number
cp015
at
1936
alum
rock
avenue.
This
is
a
five-story
mixed-use
project
comprised
of
194
units
and
3
000
square
feet
of
retail
space.
Next,
in
the
center
of
the
map
is
file
number
cp
20-0-1,
which
is
another
project
proposed
by
silicon
sage.
This
is
a

mixed-use
project
with
28
000
square
feet
of
commercial
uses,
and
the
last
project
shown
on

is
file
number
cp

R
This
is
a
hundred
percent,
affordable

proposal
also
by
the
pacific
companies
for
166,
affordable
housing
units
and
8
000

So
with
the
proposed

rock
corridor,
total
1,
350
residential
units
and
nearly
65

R
The
little
portugal
gateway
project
includes
a
planned
development.
Zoning
and
a
plant
development
permit
to
demolish
the
existing
structures,
remove
38
trees,
including
six
ordinance
size
trees

An
initial

and
mitigated
negative

with
an
associated
associated

the
project.
R
The
documents
were
circulated
for
public
review
from
july
28
through
august
17th
of
this
year,
impacts
to
air
quality,
biological
resources,
hazards
and
hazardous
materials,

noise
were
identified.
However,
these
impacts
are
reduced
to
less

significant.
With
the
implementation
of
mitigation
measures.
R
The
applicant
also
provided
visuals
of

layout,
including
opportunities
for
smaller
commercial
tenants.
On
october
28th,
the

recommended
that
the
city

conditions,
and
that
concludes
my
presentation
may
or
I
understand
that
representatives
of
silicon
sage
are
on
the
call
to
also
provide
some
remarks.
A
B
Honorable
mayor
council,
members
city
staff
and
the
community
members,
it's
been
nearly
three
years
of
a
lot
of
hard
work,
with
support
from
city
staff
and
feedback
from
city
staff
and
community
members
that
we
have
evolved
this
project
to
what
it
is
today
and
we're
proud
to
present
this
and
without
any
further
delay.
I
would
like
sherwali
to
take
over
and
do
the
presentation.
S
Can
you
see
my
string
yeah
excellent,
so
I
think
most
of
it
is
greatly
covered
by
rosalind.
As
we
said,
you
know
it's
a
little
portugal
gateway
project.
It
is
on
adam
rock
avenue
between
king
road
and
north
34th
street
across
the
street,
from
mexican
heritage
plaza,
and
this
shows
the
existing
uses.
S
Some
of
the
key
features
and
amenities,
as
rosalind
mentioned
that
we
are
doing,
is
providing
13
650
square
foot
of
retail,
facing
alum
rock,
including
the
3
000
square
foot
of
marketplace
for
micro
businesses.
It
is
a
pedestrian
oriented
design
with
widen
and
active
sidewalk
to
encourage
walking
and
gathering
with
positive
walking
experience.
S
S
Yeah,
we
are
doing
you
know,
beautification
of
the
street
and
sidewalk
by
displaying
art,
planting
new
trees
and
landscaping.
We
are
also
providing
a
lot
of
tdm
measures.
On-Site
kiosks
transit
passes
bike
parking
and
we
are
trying
to
give
identity
to
this
project
by
naming
it
little.
Portugal
gateway.
S
S
S
This
light
shows
the
commercial
in
blue
color,
with
the
parking
at
the
back.
The
dark
blue
in
the
front
is
what
we
are
proposing
as
an
open
market
place,
especially
for
small
businesses,
and
this
is
the
kind
of
imagery
we
had
in
mind.
It
could
be
great,
for
you
know
smaller
kiosks,
smaller
food
vendors,
to
display
local
art
to
display
local
history.
S
S
A
D
D
It
could
be
of
help
to
yourselves
to
be
able
to
be
able
to
work
from
you
know.
People
from
a
sixty
thousand
dollar
range
to
a
thirty
thousand
dollar
to
be
in
the
same
place
is
that's
a
an
interesting
idea
to
work
on
and
or
even
you
know,
70
30,
80
30.,
so
good
luck
in
in
your
thinking
and
and
and
and
patience
and
learning-
and
it
sounds
like
these-
are
good-
some-
some
good
ideas
here.
So
thank
you.
Q
Q
Catalyze
sv
didn't
score
this
project,
so
I
I
tend
not
to
talk
about
development
projects
until
our
members
have
had
a
chance
to
weigh
in,
but
I
did
want
to
note
as
I
was
looking
through
the
agenda.
I
came
across
this
item
and
saw
some
good
stuff
in
there,
including
transit,
passes
and
unbundled
parking,
which
are
two
excellent
ways
to
support
our
extremely
important
transit
system
and
to
discourage
folks
from
purchasing
and
driving
automobiles
and
yet
whether
it's
somewhat
the
choice
of
the
developer
or
probably
more
likely
the
constraints
of
the
city.
B
Hi,
I'm
I'm
a
new
resident
of
san
jose.
I've
just
purchased
a
property
to
move
in
about
a
mile
away,
I'm
here
to
support
my
voice,
my
support
for
this
project,
and
it
has
retail
and
both
living
spaces
and
retail,
and
I
think
it
will
do
a
it
will
do
well
for
the
local
economy
to
be
to
increase
the
development
and
make
also
the
entire
area
more
attractive
to
for
for
professionals
like
myself
to
move
in.
Thank
you.
B
Yeah,
I
thank
you
for
your
time.
Yeah.
My
name
is
mike
priolo,
I'm
actually
a
san
jose
native
and
I
work
in
the
commercial,
real
estate
industry.
I
wanted
to
weigh
in
on
on
this
project
and
and
just
kind
of
show,
my
support.
I
think
you
know
from
a
development
standpoint
it
it
checks
a
lot
of
boxes.
B
Housing
supply
is,
you
know,
a
major
issue,
and
I
think
everyone
knows
that,
but
I
think
what's
unique
about
the
project
is
its
sensitivity
to
the
cultural
aspect
of
little
portugal,
the
open
markets,
the
mediterranean
architecture.
I
think,
show
the
developers
attention
to
detail
and
wanting
to
make
something
that
is
contributory
and
sensitive
to
the
local
culture.
So
again,
I
think
it's
a
great
project
and-
and
I
hope
I
hope
it
passes-
thank
you
for
your
time.
E
E
E
B
M
M
That's
going
on
on
the
east
side
of
san
jose
and
and
of
course,
olam
rock
right
now
is
creating
a
great
deal
of
interest,
and,
and
just
a
lot
of
folks
that
are
are
looking
to
see
how
to
improve
the
quality
of
life
on
the
east
side
of
san
jose
and,
of
course,
well
we're
here
to
make
sure
that
that
does
happen,
and
and
this
this
development
is,
is
one
that
we're
very
proud
of.
That's
finally,
coming
before
all
of
you
and
hope
to
gain
your
support.
M
As
roslyn
had
pointed
out,
you
saw
the
different
developments
they'll
be
coming
before
you
at
some
point
as
well
and
more
we're
we're
just
getting
a
lot
of
interest,
but
my
but
I'll
tell
you
what
I'm
I'm
particularly
impressed
with
is
the
number
of
community
meetings
that
took
place.
Some
of
them
were
not
easy.
This
is
a
difficult
conversation
to
have
with
a
community
that
has
not
seen
this
kind
of
activity.
M
I
don't
think
that
we
can
always
agree
on
everything,
but
this
is
as
close
as
we
can
get
it's
a
beautiful
development
with
really
a
great
opportunity
for
the
community
to
participate
indoors
as
well
and
have
a
a
little
kiosk
or
or
a
little
space
where
they
can
sell
their
goods
and
and
provide
services.
I'm
very
very
pleased
with
it.
M
I'm
particularly
proud
of
the
fact
that
the
community
participated
in
and
envisioning
what
they
wanted
to
see
as
they
drove
down
one
of
the
most
beautiful
streets
roads
in
in
our
city.
For
those
of
you
who
haven't
ventured
east
of
101,
I
invite
you
to
come
on
out
and
take
it
all
the
way
to
the
hills.
It'll.
M
It
was
the
oldest
and
the
first
park
in
california,
the
who's
whose
of
the
who's,
whose
I
used
to
trek
it
out
here
all
the
way
from
hollywood,
beverly
hills
all
over
california
just
to
bring
in
their
their
friend
group
and
enjoy
the
sulfur
waters,
which
is
interesting
to
me
in
fact.
But
but
it
was,
it
was
quite
an
attraction.
It
was
you
know
when
we
think
about
place
making.
This
was
on
the
natural.
It
happened
very
naturally,
and
it
was
a
really
a
an
attraction
for
many
californians.
M
M
A
A
R
R
T
T
T
T
With
the
adopted
states,
interim
2030
greenhouse
gas
reduction
target,
which
is
40
percent
bengal,
1990
levels
and
2030.,
this
is
an
interim
target
towards
the
overarching
goal
of
meeting
20
50
statewide
targets
with
80
below
19
enemy
levels
and
2050..
It
identifies
city
policies,
plans
and
programs
that
contribute
to
greenhouse
gas
reductions
that
reach
the
twin
cities,
2030s
targets.
This
includes
policies
within
the
2040
general
plan
and
other
city
programs.
T
Finally,
and
fortunately,
for
private
development
applications.
It
includes
a
checklist
for
new
development
projects
to
demonstrate
consistency
to
meet
these
20
30
reduction
targets
next
slide,
please
so
just
some
background.
So
the
previous
greenhouse
gas
reduction
strategy,
adopted
with
the
general
plan
in
2011
and
updated
in
2015,
essentially
provided
a
reduction
for
ab-32
targets
to
1990
levels
by
2020..
T
T
So
now
has
to
be
updated
to
meet
the
next
target
year
in
the
interim
projects
that
come
to
come
before
review
by
the
city
have
to
demonstrate
greenhouse
gas
analysis
from
the
project
level.
This
means
that
they
will
have
to
do
quantitative
analysis,
usually
by
an
air
quality
consultant
and,
in
some
cases,
have
to
do
extra
mitigation
measures.
This
project
by
project
way
of
doing
greenhouse
gas
emissions
analysis
can
penalize
certain
types
of
projects
that
maybe
would
have
a
low
service
populations,
meaning
they
have
low
numbers
of
employees
or
residents
such
as
hotels.
T
T
So
what
is
the
relationship
between
the
greenhouse
gas
reduction
strategy,
the
general
plan
and
climate
smart
san
jose,
as
we
saw
earlier
this
evening?
The
2030
greenhouse
gas
reduction
strategy
is
consistent
with
the
major
strategies
and
policies
of
the
general
plan.
In
fact,
it
builds
upon
these
because
it
requires
new
projects
coming
through
to
determine
conformance
with
these
policies
as
part
of
the
strategy.
T
T
This
document
is
solely
focused
on
reduction
of
greenhouse
gas
emissions
for
the
purpose
of
streamlining
analysis,
for
seek
review
to
projects
and
determine
that
they
comply
with
the
requirements
of
sql
next
slide.
Please,
the
greenhouse
gas
reduction
strategy
is
based
on
seven
key
strategies,
in
addition
to
compliance
of
the
san
jose
general
plan.
T
T
T
So
how
is
this
implemented
so
applicants
and
environmental
consultants
as
part
of
their
sql
process,
when
they're
doing
having
a
project
go
through
the
environmental
review
and
development
review
process
will
complete
an
application
checklist.
This
checklist
can
actually
be
accommodated
within
an
initial
study
or
eir
in
the
greenhouse
gas
section
of
that
document.
T
So
so,
applicants
and
consultants,
supported
by
substantial
evidence,
must
demonstrate
the
following
and
the
compliance
checklist
in
the
document.
The
first
an
overarching
requirement
is,
they
must,
must
demonstrate
general
plan
policy.
Compliance
and
second,
must
demonstrate
either
the
greenhouse
gas
reduction
strategy,
compliance
with
major
strategies,
or
in
some
cases
the
applicant
can
propose
alternative
measures
that
would
reach
the
same
reduction
targets.
If
the
applicant
decides
to
go
with
option
c,
they
will
have
to
then
do
their
own
project
level
analysis
of
how
those
reduction
measures
will
reduce
the
greenhouse
gas
reduction
targets.
T
Such
measures
may
include
things
like
enhanced
transportation,
demand
management
or
even
carbon
offsets
city
staff
are
available
to
answer
any
questions.
We
also
have
the
consultants
from
acom
and
david
j
powers
on
hand
to
answer
any
more
detailed
questions.
Thank
you.
This
concludes
my
presentation.
D
All
right
to
try
to
try
to
politely
connect
items,
6.1
and
6.3
to
this
item.
Current
natural
gas
reduction
ideas
of
san
jose
city
government
has
created
good
examples
for
a
few
years
now
it
leaves
san
jose
in
a
very
good
place,
to
help
better
address
the
future
of
fracking
and
fossil
fuel
use
into
the
late
2020s
and
can
possibly
very
much
help
an
upcoming
biden
harris
administration
and
how
they
can
better
address
this
issue.
D
It
may
be
time
to
begin
to
organize
more
clear,
renewable
ideas
and
goals
for
san
jose
local
community
energy
ideas,
simple,
decent
conversations
and
dialogue
with
friends,
city
staff
and
city
officials
can,
interestingly,
apply
an
extraordinary
amount
of
good-minded
pressure
and
begin
to
better
ask
about
nuclear
power
and
its
economy.
It
is
actually
fueling,
most
local
community
energy
programs
around
the
entire
bay
area
at
this
time.
D
This
is
a
concept
that
should
be
abhorrent
to
the
more
to
the
importance
of
renewable
energy
and
sustainable
community
democracy,
that
is
at
the
heart
of
local
community
energy
ideas
and
plans.
It
will
be
important
to
differentiate
in
the
future
between
renewable
energy
and
clean
energy
that
relies
on
nuclear
to
work
towards
carbon-free
goals.
D
Q
N
T
T
However,
we
will
be
updating
and
doing
new
greenhouse
gas
emissions
inventories
as
part
of
the
four-year
general
plan
reviews
and
seeing
how
these
strategies
are
working
and
if
some
of
the
strategies
aren't
working
like
san
jose,
clean
energy,
maybe
more
people
are
opting
out.
We
may
have
to
update
and
do
other
strategies
to
continue
on
to
meet
on
with
meeting
our
targets
so
that
if,
but,
if
you
want
any
more
detailed
questions,
I
could
have
josh
let
them
with
acom.
You
know
respond
if
you
want.
N
T
A
J
You
hear
me
now
yeah.
We
can
thanks.
Okay,
great,
given
the
earlier
presentation
from
san
jose,
clean
energy.
I
assume
this
question
would
come
up.
I
didn't
think
it
would
be
number
one,
but
we
did
not
do
a
sensitivity
test
to
figure
out
precisely
what
the
participation
rates
would
need
to
be
to
achieve
the
target.
But
what
we
did
do
was
select
a
package
of
strategies
with
reductions
that
had
some
leeway
within
them.
So
to
achieve
the
target,
we
would
need
to
demonstrate
reductions.
Totaling
approximately
845,
000
metric
tons.
J
The
package
of
actions
we
put
together
provide
approximately
1.2
million
metric
tons,
so
there's
there's
a
gap
or
there's
there's
an
excess
of
approximately
350
000
metric
tons
and
doing
some
quick
scans
of
the
numbers
here
that
is
about
it
looks
like
you.
Could
you
could
chop
off
the
participation
from
the
clean
electricity
action?
You
could
cut
it
in
about
half
and
still
come
up
with
sufficient
reductions
if
the
other
strategies
are
implemented
as
estimated.
J
So
there
is
wiggle
room
within
there
and,
as
david
mentioned,
the
the
ghgrs
should
be
an
iterative
living
plan
with
future
updates
to
make
sure
that
the
estimated
reductions
are
actually
occurring.
If
they're
not
take
corrective
action
at
that
time.
To
make
sure
you
can
come
up
with
sufficient
reductions
in
another
place,.
N
Thank
you
josh,
and
I
don't
think
that
we
would
get
to
that
low
of
a
participation
rate.
So
I
really
appreciate
that
it
is
not
it
to
me.
That's
a
that's.
A
great
back
of
the
envelope
calculation
and
gives
me
give
me
gives
me
a
lot
of
comfort,
because
I
don't
I
don't
anticipate
that
we
would
be
comfortable
losing
even
you
know,
even
getting
to
90
percent
participation.
So
I
I
really
appreciate
that
I'm
happy
to
move
staff
recommendation.
A
Second,
thank
you
motion.
Second,
you
know
I
had
a
question
just
looking
at
the
table
b,
which
is
on
page
9
of
the
report
at
the
reduction
potential
of
different
gsg
reduction
strategies,
and
it
appears
that
retrofitting
existing
buildings
just
going
to
2030
retrofitting
existing
buildings
is
five
times
the
impact
of
the
new
construction
mandates.
L
A
A
A
T
T
Yeah
part
of
this
is
also
building
on
existing
city
programs
that
we
already
have
in
place
and
also
general
plan
goals
so
and
for
existing
building
retrofits.
How
this
would
apply
in
the
sql
process
is,
if
somebody
is
coming
in
and
let's
say,
they're
doing
a
remodel
and
an
addition
of
like
a
major
office
building,
then
they
would
demonstrate
compliance
of
this
and
mention
yes.
In
addition
to
doing
the
addition,
we're
also
remodeling
and
removing
doing
retrofits
to
remove
natural
gas.
T
J
J
It
it
was,
it
was
based
more
on
a
per
capita
energy
reduction
than
looking
at
it
on
a
project
by
project
basis,
and
that
was
to
align
it
with
and
lost.
My
page,
as
david
mentioned,
we
tried,
we
had
tried
to
find
existing
goals,
policies
and
programs
that
were
already
adopted
and
being
implemented
by
the
city
yeah
to
in
this
plan
quantify
what
the
impact
of
those
actions
would
be,
and
this
one
particularly
relates
to
general
plan
goal
ms
ii,
and
to
the
climate,
smart,
san
jose
strategy,
2.2,
and
I
don't
have.
A
How
do
you
take
this
offline?
Anyone,
I'm
sorry
for
sure,
I'm
just
I'm
looking
at
their
relatives,
saving
to
the
different
strategies,
and
you
know
from
the
numbers
where
we
need
to
be
cl,
focusing
our
energy
and
certainly
you
know,
council
member
davis
is
right
to
raise
the
question
about
pcia
charges,
because
you
know
it
seems
like
more
than
half
of
our
savings
are
coming
from
from
our
utility
anyway.
Thank
you
very
much.
J
On
that
point,
I
think
I
think,
when
you
start
looking
at
the
relative
contribution
of
these
different
strategies,
something
that
skews
those
results
are
that
one
of
your
largest
reduction
sources
is
coming
from
implementation
of
your
general
plan,
land
use
and
mobility
elements,
because
the
emissions
forecast
are
based
on
what
that
future
vmt
will
be
the
vehicle
miles
traveled
within
the
community.
So
those
are
built
into
your
future
scenario.
J
If
it
was
possible
to
isolate
those
as
a
standalone
strategy,
then
that
would
be
a
sizable
share
of
emissions,
which
would
then
shrink
the
relative
contribution
of
these
other
actions.
Just
just
to
put
that
into
context
a
little
bit.
The
numbers
get
a
little
bit
skewed
because
that
large
impactful
transportation
action
is
is
built
into
the
future
scenario.
J
J
J
J
J
I
I
can
speak
to
the
numbers
that
are
in
the
plan
right
now
and
I
think
that's
a
really
astute
question
and
it
and
it
relates
to
the
way
community.
Climate
planning
is
typically
done
and
it
looks
at
production-based
inventories
and
what
you've
just
described,
leans
more
into
a
consumption-based
inventory,
where
you're
looking
at
emissions
that
occur
outside
of
your
community
to
provide
the
goods
and
services
that
you're
consuming.
J
So
the
quantification
in
this
instance
is
only
looking
at
net
zero
energy,
zero
net
energy
buildings
from
the
perspective
of
they
don't
consume,
or
they
don't
emit
emissions
from
their
operational
from
an
operational
perspective.
But
it
does
not
consider
embodied
energy
that
goes
into
the
construction
of
buildings
and
that's
because
those
emissions
are
not
represented
in
the
community-wide
inventory
anyway.
J
T
A
D
I
listened
to
the
downtown
west
study
session
yesterday
on
youtube
last
night.
Please
continue
to
listen
to
the
ideas,
guidance
and
advice
of
the
airport
commission,
about
lower
more
practical
building
heights
and
other
developmental
questions.
They
also
may
have
some
good
thinking
with
the
current
issues
of
crane
heights
in
use.
D
I
hope
these
good
legal
ideas
can
be
able
to
help
the
future
of
all
sides
of
the
redistricting
questions
and
its
public
meeting
process
in
san
jose.
At
this
time
and
to
conclude,
google
and
its
current
supply
of
much
national
security
technology
at
the
border
is
actually
defining
the
future
of
this
country's
border
walls.
This
is
simply
a
lot
to
balance
with
the
entire
san
jose
downtown
project,
as
this
particular
project
is
called
downtown
west.
A
J
J
J
When
I
listened
to
the
mayor
tonight
in
the
san
jose
police
department,
I
really
feel
that
you
need
a
coordinated
effort
to
focus
more
on
the
prevention
of
domestic
violence.
It's
it's
a
major
issue
and
you
need
to
have
leadership
by
the
city
council.
It's
not
something
that
you
can
say
well,
we'll
push
it
on
to
the
county,
and
the
county
can
figure
out
the
statistics.
J
No,
with
the
cares
act,
there
is
money
involved
and
that
should
go
to
on
the
prevention.
It's
kind
of
an
issue
that
affects
not
just
poor
people,
latino
women,
black
women,
but
it
affects
higher
higher
stratosphere
of
our
structure
of
our
society,
and
that
includes
people
on
the
city
council.
Who
may
not
want
to
discuss
that
issue
publicly.
J
But
we
all
know
somebody
whether
it's
a
friend
a
relative,
a
sister
or
brother,
who
has
been
in
some
kind
of
situation,
whether
it's
even
young
people
who
have
been
in
situations
where
they
didn't
understand
what
was
happening
and
they
were,
in
fact
in
a
situation
where
it
could
be
very
violent.
So
please
revisit
this
issue.
Use
the
money
from
the
cares
act
and
show
the
leadership
that
the
city
council
has,
especially
with
a
quorum
of
women
on
it.
Thank
you
so
much.
