Thank
you
mayor
john
cecirelli,
director
of
parks,
recreation,
neighborhood
services,
I'm
joined
today
by
avi
yotam,
our
deputy
director
for
parks,
division
and
division
manager,
tori
o'reilly,
also
in
the
parks
division
today,
we're
here
to
talk
about
our
annual
park
maintenance
report,
including
sorry,
including
highlighting
a
new
system
of
evaluating
parks.
We've
changed
the
system
this
year.
It's
produced
some
great
results.
G
I
really
want
to
thank
avi
and
his
team
for
putting
in
the
hard
work
to
implement
a
new
system
that
I
feel
certain
is
going
to
help
us
improve
our
parks,
particularly
the
lower
scoring
ones,
and
with
that
I'm
going
to
hand
it
over
to
tori.
I
believe
tori
to
walk
through
a
presentation
and
then
we're
happy
to
answer
any
questions
you
have
at
the
end.
F
Thank
you
john,
as
john
mentioned
tori
o'reilly
division
manager
for
parks,
maintenance
and
infrastructure.
So,
as
you
can
see
from
this
first
slide,
prness
has
an
extensive
inventory.
It
cares
for
at
a
high
level,
this
comprises
over
3
500
acres
of
park,
land
and
63
miles
of
trails,
including
caring
for
newly
opened
parks
to
san
jose's
oldest
park,
alum
rock,
which
is
getting
ready
to
celebrate
its
150th
anniversary
this
year.
F
F
Okay,
so
this
next
slide,
you're
looking
at
here,
speaks
to
standards
in
order
to
be
good
stewards
of
the
environment
and
to
the
people
of
san
jose.
The
department
has
recently
adopted
standards
of
care
for
each
amenity
within
our
parks.
Standards
ensure
every
park
is
held
to
the
same
expectations,
regardless
of
the
neighborhood.
It's
in
historically
parks
with
lots
of
complaints
tended
to
get
more
attention,
and
typically,
these
complaints
came
from
more
affluent
neighborhoods.
F
F
By
having
multiple
sources
of
feedback,
we
are
able
to
capture
multiple
areas
of
concern
that
we
may
have
otherwise
missed.
Our
part
condition.
Assessments
are
our
primary
for
formal
feedback
process,
but
we
also
have
systems
in
place
to
get
feedback
from
multiple
user
groups,
including
yourself,
city,
council,
members,
park,
users,
volunteers
and
our
partners.
F
The
department
is
also
piloting
a
park
user
survey
which
will
be
rolled
out
in
april
and
may
the
survey
as
a
fault
is
available
in
multiple
languages.
The
user
survey
is
online
but
park
intercept.
Events
are
planned
to
reach
users
who
might
not
traditionally
take
a
survey
or
who
may
not
have
access
to
online
surveys
or
be
reached
by
our
marketing
due
to
a
digital
divide
in
their
community.
F
F
F
Previous
assessments
were
done
by
hand
where
the
revised
assessment
is
done
completely
online
by
users
having
ipads
in
the
field,
and
the
beauty
of
that
is.
The
ipads
can
take
pictures
and
geotag,
and
it's
linked
to
each
of
the
individual
park
assessments
instead
of
one
overall
numerical
score
for
each
amenity.
F
F
F
F
F
So
how
are
we
doing
for
this
year's
assessment?
We
rated
260
parks
with
and
scored
20
different
amenities,
the
average
score
city-wise
would
wasn't
0.87
it's
difficult
to
compare.
Last
year's
scores
with
this
year's,
as
our
methodology
was
completely
different,
so
we're
going
to
be
using
this
year's
scores
as
a
baseline
for
future
rating.
F
The
chart
that
you
see
gives
a
brief
overview
of
how
we
did
this
past
year.
As
you
can
see
across
the
park
system.
Turf
is
the
park
feature
which
overall
needs
the
most
attention.
Seeing
this
the
department
has
made
turf
care.
One
of
our
priorities,
the
true
power
of
the
new
park.
Maintenance,
standard
and
pca
process
is
the
highly
detailed
information
it
provides
for
each
park
that
allows
for
very
specific
corrective
actions
and
mitigations.
F
Also
seen
on
this.
The
bottom
of
this
chart
it's
kind
of
small,
but
it's
the
average
per
council
district,
given
the
results
from
council
district
four
and
five,
which
unfortunately,
are
the
lowest.
We
looked
at
these
parks
at
detail
level
on
what
amenities
did
not
meet
the
park
maintenance
standards,
so
we
can
make
park
focused
park,
improvements.
F
F
From
the
moment
the
assessments
were,
complete,
staff
have
been
creating
and
implementing
corrective
work
plans
to
improve
the
amenities
which
scored
low,
for
example.
Benches
and
picnic
tables
are
one
of
the
amenities
that
failed
at
vista
montana
park
in
council
district
4..
It
was
determined
that
the
species
of
tree
planted
around
the
benches
and
picnic
tables.
Hat
berries
were
dripping
onto
the
areas
around
them
on
the
sidewalks,
the
benches
and
leaving
a
sticky
residue,
and
you
can
kind
of
see
picture
one.
F
Staff
are
also
working
with
our
city
forest
to
look
at
replacing
the
species
of
trees
with
something
that
works
better.
In
this
type
of
setting
that
won't
cause
that
problem
staff
have
committed
to
reassessing
all
of
the
parks
scoring
below
a
.87
within
six
months
of
completion
of
the
initial
assessment
period,
with
repeated
more
frequent
assessments
being
completed
for
lower
scoring
parts,
reassessments
will
be
scheduled
based
on
part
condition,
assessment
and
hpi
or
healthy
places,
index
score
for
each
park.
F
F
F
H
Thank
you,
tori
avio
tom
deputy
director
of
parks,
park
maintenance
confronts
myriad
challenges
to
deliver
consistent
results.
First,
maintenance
is
made
more
time
consuming
and
expensive
due
to
aging
infrastructure
like
bleachers,
that
are
showing
their
wear
and
tear,
and
we
also
know
that
higher
maintenance
levels
help
extend
the
life
of
certain
assets.
H
H
H
H
So
what
are
we
going
to
do
about
it?
It
all
starts
with
investing
in
our
current
staff.
Our
park
district
maintenance
teams
conduct
day-to-day
maintenance,
including
grounds
maintenance,
landscaping,
litter
collection,
irrigation
repairs
and
more
to
address
the
loss
of
institutional
knowledge.
We
have
created
and
implemented
a
training
series
that
we
rotate
through
our
maintenance
teams
every
other
week.
H
H
We
want
to
note
that
when
we
speak
with
our
crews
about
what
they
need
to
do
their
jobs,
we
can
certainly
hear
three
things:
one
hire
more
people,
two
get
more
vehicles
and
equipment
and
three
improve
the
park
yards
on
the
yards.
We
commissioned
a
yard
study
in
2019
and
2020
and
have
identified
short-term
improvements
to
wi-fi
and
yard
security
to
help
make
the
day-to-day
work
of
our
employees
better
on
vehicles
and
equipment.
We're
working
with
our
public
works
department
to
strategize
around
ways
to
replace
vehicles.
H
As
of
this
moment,
pns
has
about
61
redline
vehicles
and
pieces
of
major
equipment
that
are
not
out
of
service
for
repairs,
but
actually
completely
removed
from
the
fleet.
For
perspective,
that's
about
15
percent
of
our
department
fleet
of
vehicles
and
equipment
and
has
an
estimated
full
replacement
cost
of
about
three
and
a
half
3.8
million
dollars.
H
H
H
Our
parks,
rehabilitation
strike
team
has
been
utilized
since
2016-2017
to
complete
projects
utilizing
specialized
skills
like
picnic
area
renovations
and
bench
and
bbq
installations.
That
team
is
funded
through
this
june
through
city
council
action.
The
integrated
pest
management
and
turf
renovation
team
have
been
funded
for
another
18
months
and
we
look
forward
to
bringing
that
team
back
together
as
we
can
hire
and
fill
vacancies.
H
Our
volunteer
program
has
identified
parks
for
volunteer
effort
by
focusing
projects
in
areas
with
the
lowest
california.
Healthy
places,
index
scores,
the
california
healthy
places
index
is
a
powerful
tool
that
was
built
using
statistical
modeling
by
the
public
health
alliance
of
southern
california,
and
it
incorporates
25
community
characteristics
that
are
social
determinants
of
health,
such
as
housing,
education,
economic
and
social
factors.
H
H
H
H
At
the
neighborhood
services
and
education
committee,
we
received
important
feedback
that
we
should
not
put
park
conditions
on
residents
or
place
the
scores
on
residents
and
whether
they
have
time
to
volunteer
or
not,
and
we
absolutely
agree.
We
want
to
clarify
and
say
clearly
here
that
we
look
at
volunteers
as
a
positive
solution
to
help
improve
park
conditions,
but
they
are
certainly
not
responsible
for
park
maintenance.
That
is
our
job
as
staff
on
the
screen.
There
is
a
map
of
adopted
parks
in
orange
and
parks
that
aren't
adopted
in
green.
H
We
see
that
park.
Adoption
is
not
uniform
across
the
city
and
there
are
a
lot
of
reasons
for
that
that
we
understand
and
it's
for
that
reason,
using
an
equity
lens,
we
identify
where
we
can
provide
more
services,
for
example,
with
our
volunteer
unit,
we
selected
parks
and
neighborhoods
with
the
lowest
scores
for
one
day
volunteer
events,
including
rock
springs
park,
children
of
the
rainbow
park
and
mclaughlin
park.
H
H
H
H
This
partnership
is
going
to
have
a
longer
lasting
impact
than
just
that.
Participants
are
receiving
training
and
experiences
with
the
san
jose
conservation
corps
and
other
partners
that
make
them
terrific
candidates
for
city
jobs
and
other
jobs.
In
this
line
of
work
recently,
we
hired
two
resilience
corps
members
into
park
maintenance
and
they
will
soon
be
working
with
within
our
park
districts
and
our
operational
partner.
H
H
It
can
be
hard
to
quantify
that
impact,
but
for
one
example
in
2016,
the
trust
for
public
lands
estimated
that
city
parks
provide
storm
water
management,
valued
at
6.43
million
by
capturing
precipitation,
slowing
runoff
and
reducing
the
volume
of
storm
water
that
enters
the
storm
sewer.
Those
numbers
have
only
gone
up
since
2016..
H
Our
trail
system
plays
a
key
role
in
safe
alternative
transportation
routes,
allowing
residents
to
get
out
of
their
cars
and
reduce
the
related
emissions.
In
a
time
of
drought,
it's
important
to
recognize.
We
have
installed
279
smart
irrigation
controllers
and
many
dozens
of
flow
meters
and
master
valves
allowing
for
remote
and
pinpoint
control
and
even
water
shut
off.
If
there's
a
leak
or
mainline
break
detected.
H
Speaking
of
looking
ahead
every,
I
would
be
remiss
not
to
acknowledge
once
again
that
on
march
13th
2022
alan
rock
park
will
turn
150..
It's
definitely
not
every
year
or
every
decade,
when
you
have
a
park,
turned
150
years
old.
We've
been
coordinating
closely
with
the
council
offices
of
council
member
crossguard
council
member
cohen,
and
we
just
really
can't
wait
for
all
of
that
to
begin,
and
we
hope
to
see
all
of
you
at
those
celebrations
with
that.
D
A
A
C
Yeah,
I
hope
the
city
council
could
vote
on
this.
They
could
actually
spend
money
for
something
positive
versus
all
the
other
things
they
seem
to
waste
money
on,
but
the
the
parks
really
need
more
money.
I
mean
I
go
to
the
rose
garden,
almost
every
single
day
and
half
the
time
the
fountain's
broken
and
took.
I
don't
know
how
long
to
fix
the
fountain
it's
got.
Both
the
bathrooms
are
in
need,
actually
that
have
been
the
women's,
but
in
the
men's,
bathroom
need
of
repairs.
C
All
inside
needs
a
new
ceiling
and
each
building,
both
men
and
women's
bathrooms
is
covered
with
pine
needles,
which
is
a
fire
hazard.
It
really
is
even
though
they're
beautiful,
tile
roof
and
if
there's
ever
such
thing
as
a
good
looking
bathroom,
they
are
have
good
architecture,
but
yeah
I
mean
that
park
needs
a
lot
of
maintenance.
They
keep
up.
They
keep
up
the
maintenance
as
much
as
they
can
a
lot
of
graffiti
gets,
it
gets
cleaned,
but
it
happens
and
they
just
the
the
the
fountain
needs
constant
maintenance.
C
I
realize
you
know
it's
a
lot
of
work,
but
that
park's
over
100
years
old
and
it's
one
of
the
gems
of
this
city
in
a
very
beautiful
place.
I
just
would
hope
that
there's
enough
money
to
keep
it
up,
the
volunteers
do
great
work
and
it
needs
a
lot
of
grass.
It's
got
a
lot
of
problems
with
broken
sprinklers,
all
around
the
perimeter
of
the
rose
garden
and
the
one
thing
that
is
not
good
about.
It
would
be
officer,
zachary
martinez,
who
is
a
terrible
person
ogre.
C
E
But
I
promise
you
it's
not.
So
if
you
would
indulge
me
please
so
for
years,
I've
been
mentioning-
and
this
was
pre
pre-
the
new
tool
that
we're
using
that
the
east
side
of
san
jose
parks
were
not
up
to
par
and
and
because
we
were
using
a
different
tool
based
on
that
tool,
our
parks
seemed
seemed
to
be
doing
just
fine,
or
at
least
compared
to
the
rest
of
the
parts.
E
E
Please
we
see
that
in
fact,
the
parts
on
the
east
side
of
san
jose
are
among
the
worst
in
the
entire
city,
and
one
of
the
things
that
I
want
to
point
out
is
that,
even
though
they
are
located
geographically
on
the
east
side
of
san
jose,
I
want
to
call
to
the
rest
of
the
account
my
council,
colleagues
and
the
mayor.
These
are
your
parks.
These
are
your
parks.
You
are
responsible
for
these
parks.
E
I
was
elected
by
the
east
side
of
san
jose,
but
these
parks
belong
to
you,
and
this
is
an
embarrassment
for
the
entire
city
of
san
jose.
If
anyone
comes
to
visit
our
city,
they
are
our
guests
if
they
come
and
they
enjoy
the
wonderful
cuisine
of
the
east
side
of
san
jose
and
they
decide
to
google
and
find
a
park
to
go
and
enjoy
and
have
a
taco
have
some
fun
enjoy
some
indian
cuisine
and
they
want
to
go
sit
at
a
park
at
a
bench.
E
I'm
going
to
show
you
some
pictures
where
they're
going
to
end
up
sitting:
it's
an
embarrassment,
so
you
see
mayfair's
at
40
and
thank
you
so
much
for
including
some
of
the
improvements
that
have
been
made.
In
my
opinion,
it's
not
enough
nancy
lane,
plaza
overfelt
gardens,
esther
medina,
it's
a
brand
new
park,
esther
medina
and
look
where
it's
64
percent
lebeau
sylvia
cassell
capital,
plata
royal.
One
of
the
things
that
was
just
mentioned
was
that
during
covid
these
parks
were
a
lifeline
to
our
residents.
E
They
played
an
important
role
for
socialization,
for
playing
and
even
for
worship.
I'm
going
to
show
you
some
of
the
pictures.
You
tell
me
if
you
would
feel
at
peace
and
at
zen
to
go
and
worship
in
some
of
these
parks.
In
addition
to
that,
they're
not
safe.
Some
of
these
kiddos
are
going
to
spring
their
feet
or
their
ankles
probably
have
already
done
so.
But
parents
are
not
going
to
come
to
us
and
and
sue
us.
E
This
is
not
what
latino
parents
do
or
a
lot
of
our
families
do:
they're
just
they're,
just
not
going
to
do
it,
but
you
tell
me
if
you
would
go
ahead
and
do
that
we
have
beautiful
parks
or
parks
that
have
a
lot
of
potential
next
slide.
Please
I
have
to
remove
this
so,
as
you
can
see,
the
pca
scores
four
and
five
are
among
the
lowest.
I
contend
that
five
is
still
among
the
lowest.
I
mean
it's
still
the
lowest.
I
don't
really
care
we're
neck
and
neck.
It's
it's
it's!
E
E
So
next
slide
here
we
go.
This
is
this
is
mayfair.
I
want
to
tell
you
a
little
about.
Mayfair
mayfair
is
a
beautiful
community,
but
it
it
does
not
go
without
its
challenges.
This
is
a
community
that
we
have
invested
in
throughout
the
years,
and
this
is
a
community
by
the
way
that
I
worked
in
way
before
I
even
even
had
the
notion
of
running
for
city
council
never
thought
in
my
wildest
dreams
that
I
would
ever
be
sitting
in
the
sea.
E
E
E
The
gentleman
that
does
a
collab
with
vans,
okay,
caballero,
yes,
he
just
got
inducted
into
the
into
the
eastside
union
high
school
in
east
side
hall
of
fame.
So
at
the
same
time
that
I
did-
and
I
was
not
center
stage-
my
children
were
much
more
drawn
to
him
than
than
they
were
to
me.
So
it
goes
to
show
you
so
anyway,
so
this
is
a
just
a
beautiful
neighborhood,
but
this
is
what
now
my
neighbors
wake
up
to
every
single
day.
E
E
E
E
I
E
E
E
E
E
E
E
They
mean
something
to
this
city,
and
this
is
not
the
message
that
we
need
to
send
to
them.
They're
already
battling
with
so
much
next
slide.
Please-
and
this
is
what
they're
playing
futsal
on
now,
if
we're
asking
our
residents
to
pay
for
the
cracked
sidewalks
in
front
of
their
houses
due
to
the
roots
of
those
trees
that
some
of
those
were
unintended,
they
bought
their
houses
with
trees.
Already.
Why
are
we
not
doing
the
same
thing?
E
E
E
And
I
ask
you:
where
would
you
sing
your
baby?
Where
would
you
take
them
I'd
go
across
town?
I
would
go
across
town
next
slide
and
I
wanted
to
just
show
you.
I
know
this
isn't
about
programming,
but
I
want
to.
I
want
you
to
see
the
despair,
the
the
discrepancies
here
or
the
disparities
here
in
the
middle.
You
have
the
mayfair
community
center.
This
is
that
community
center.
That
now
has
no
playground
for
my
kids
and
it's
sandwiched
in
between
two.
E
E
advanced
advanced
programming
in
stem
again
using
legos,
anime
and
manga
art
at
southside,
almaden
and
bascom
archery,
because
mayfair
has
arts
and
crafts
by
the
way,
with
no
description
at
the
co
in
the
catalog
and
emma
push
has
math
mentor,
there's
a
huge
discrepancy
in
what
we're
offering
our
youth
on
the
east
side
versus
the
south
side,
bascom
and
almaden,
and
I
want
to
understand
why
and
I'll
tell
you
that
when
I
was
very
young
I
lived.
I
lived
in
a
poor
neighborhood
in
an
immigrant
neighborhood.
I
didn't.
E
I
didn't
grow
up
on
the
east
side.
I
grew
up
in
in
in
the
west
side,
and-
and
mr
sultan
mentions
it
quite
a
number
of
times
we're
both
from
an
area
called
horseshoe
council
member
davis
represents
that
area.
I
grew
up.
A
great
great
part
of
my
childhood
was
grown
up
in
in
the
gardner
community
center,
but
it's
where
I
learned
how
to
troll
a
baton,
and
so
I
marched
in
parades.
E
E
J
Yeah,
thank
you
and
I
want
to
thank
the
staff
for
the
thorough
report
and
I
appreciate
the
new
measure.
New
methods
of
measuring
a
park.
Maintenance
quality
gives
us
a
lot
more
insight
into
the
issues
at
each
of
the
parks
and
I
think
obviously
helps
you
as
well
as
you
do
your
maintenance,
and
I
appreciate
the
the
difficulty
of
the
task.
J
It's
a
huge
inventory
of
parks
that
you're
you
have
to
manage
with
a
lot
of
variety
and
a
lot
of
different
needs
at
different
locations.
So
I
you
know
want
to
start
with
that.
It's
obvious!
It's
not
it's
disappointing
and
not
totally
surprising
to
me
to
see
district
four
at
the
bottom
of
that
list.
We
know
some
of
the
issues
with
some
of
the
parks.
J
H
Councilmember
cohen,
thank
you
for
your
question,
so
the
as
tory
mentioned
in
our
presentation
where
this
new
methodology
is
most
powerful
to
us
as
staff,
is
the
very
precise
kind
of
basically
amenity
sub
description.
So,
as
torrey
mentioned
in
the
case
of
turf,
we
look
at
it
from
multiple
factors
and
then
we
can
plan
ahead
for
the
appropriate
mitigation
to
make
that
right
change.
H
So,
in
the
past,
our
pca
score
was
on
a
one-to-five
scale
which
just
had
very
general
descriptions
of
turf.
It's
a
3.0.
If
it's
you
know,
50
percent
weed
free
and
it's
generally
green.
So
this
one
gives
us
a
much
more
actionable
insights
that
we
can
then
populate
into
as
we
mentioned
corrective
actions
that
we've
begun,
taking
or
forward-looking.
J
Okay,
I
appreciate
that,
and
I
know
that
one
of
the
the
parks
that's
still
pretty
low
on
the
list.
It's
a
pretty
tough
park
to
maintain
as
penitentiary
creek
park
behind
the
community
center.
It's
not
the
most
attractive
of
places
anymore
and
there's
a
combination
of
reasons
for
that,
obviously
due
partly
to
the
water
problems
there.
In
addition
to
the
condition
of
the
turf,
it's
a
huge
turf,
it's
not
the
same
as
some
of
the
other
parks.
J
I
imagine
that
just
like
the
just,
like
probably
the
whole
east
side,
but
also
probably
other
parts
of
the
city.
Gophers
are
a
big
problem.
We
know
that,
certainly
at
that
park
we
have
holes
that
will
swallow
small
children
and
large
dogs
because
of
the
gophers.
What
is
the
city's
approach
to
that
issue?
Specifically.
G
We
were
kind
of
funding
it
with
some
one-time
money
that
ran
out
that
those
programs
went
away
and
so
some
of
the
progress
we
were
making.
Unfortunately,
slipped
back
other
areas
just
got
worse
than
they
already
were.
The
good
news
is:
we've
worked
with
the
budget
office
and
found
a
way
to
restore
both
those
programs
beginning
next
fiscal
year,
so
we
will
be
able
to
start
trying
to
get
a
hold
again,
particularly
on
the
rodent
issue
in
the
parks
and
then
sports
fields
restorations,
where
those
things
kind
of
things
need
to
be
done.
G
F
Sure,
and
just
to
give
a
little
bit
more
detail,
you
know
we
had
the
ipm
turf
team,
which
john
just
mentioned,
and
the
way
that
team
works,
because
you
know
we
now
have
the
park
standards
which
lists
what
our
thresholds
are.
You
know
what's
an
except,
I
mean,
there's
no
acceptable
level
of
holes
in
a
park,
but
you
know
we
we're
never
going
to
win
this
battle
completely,
so
we
have
an
acceptable
threshold
and
those
parks
that
are
above
that
accessible
threshold.
F
What
we're
addressing
is
the
safety
issue
from
the
holes,
and
so
we
want
to
bring
those
those
the
number
of
open
boroughs
down
to
a
manageable
level
by
that
team,
and
then
once
that
happens,
we
turn
it
over
to
the
district
and
then
that's
going
to
go
to
what
we
call
scheduled
maintenance
where
they're
going
to
go
out
on
a
regular
basis
like
in
some
cases.
You
know
it's
twice
a
week
just
to
maintain
it
at
that
level.
J
Yeah,
thank
you.
I
appreciate
that,
and
I
know
it's
a
dif,
it's
a
difficult
problem
because
our
schools
back
up
against
some
of
those
parks,
and
I
was
on
the
board
there
and
they
were
fighting
gophers
all
the
time
and
then
the
problem
is
the
gophers.
Just
go
back
and
forth
between
the
park
and
the
school
grounds,
and
it's
a
it's.
A
never-ending
battle
is
one
of
the
you
mentioned
park
yards.
H
Council,
member
we're
certainly-
and
we
look
at
it
as
kind
of
a
fixed
situation
right
now,
based
on
where
the
yards
are.
Certainly
if
there
was
a
yard
in
north
san
jose
and
in
a
yard
in
south
san
jose,
I
think
we
would
have
a
little
bit
more
opportunity
to
do
better
route
designs,
but
with
the
locations
we
have
now
we're
doing
our
best
to
design
optimal
routes.
It
was
actually
a
topic
that
came
up
in
the
city
audit
park
maintenance
about
a
year
and
a
half
ago.
H
So
from
from
the
routes
we
have
from
sorry
from
the
yards
we
have,
which
are
primarily
the
central
service
yard.
We
deploy
our
teams
out
on
a
daily
basis,
but
for
sure,
if
there's
an
opportunity
in
the
future
to
expand
our
yard
footprint
and
add
spaces
more
geographically
distributed,
it
would
benefit
us.
J
And
I
and
I'll
I'm
asking
a
question
because
of
conversations
we've
had
before
about
north
san
jose
and
the
the
need
for
a
park
yard
there,
and
I'm
excited
that
we'll.
Finally,
do
the
master
plan
on
ag
news
park
this
year,
which
means
maybe
we
can
figure
out
how
to
get
that
in
and
maybe
get
started
on
that
in
the
near
future.
But
we'll
continue
that
conversation.
J
I
do
want
to
sort
of
appreciate
the
the
partnership
and
responsiveness
that
that
I've
experienced
with
with
your
office
when
we
have
specific
issues
in
our
parks.
I
know,
for
example,
and,
and
you
know
our
neighbors-
our
residents
in
in
san
jose
certainly
consider
the
parks
to
be
sort
of
the
first
measure
of
where
they're
getting
where
people
are
getting
attention
where
there's
neglect,
and
so
we
hear
from
them
clearly
about
the
issues
in
their
parks
and
we
obviously,
from
the
beginning,
have
heard
about
a
lot
of
issues
in
alviso
park.
J
So
I
appreciate
the
attention
we've
gotten
up:
there,
reopening
the
community
garden
this
year,
getting
the
bathrooms
finally
fixed
after
years
of
them,
not
being
even
usable.
So
I
appreciate
that
that
we're
able
to
engage
with
you
and
get
your
your
help,
so
I
just
want
to
thank
you
for
that.
I
also
want
to
thank
you
for
the
sunday
park
series.
I've
been
to
many
of
them
over
the
last
year.
J
You
have
a
really
dedicated
sunday
staff
that
goes
out
every
sunday
even
had
to
miss
the
first
half
of
the
super
bowl
this
year
to
be
there
to
be
cleaning
up
a
park
on
a
sunday,
but
what's
also
amazing,
is
the
volunteers
that
come
and
they're,
not
necessarily
from
the
local
area.
It's
not
it.
These
are
people
that
come
from
all
over
the
bay
area
and
far
away
because
they
love
cleaning
parks
and
they
love
coming
and
they
they
are
regulars
at
these
park.
J
Cleanups
and
you
know
getting
around
to
all
of
the
different
parks
across
the
city
has
been
a
is
a
great
program,
and
I
did
want
to
thank
you
for
that.
I
think
that
that's
another.
I
was
impressed
to
hear
the
number
of
volunteer
hours
that
were
put
into
that
program
last
year
and
I
think
it's
even
getting
bigger
this
year.
So
I
want
to
thank
you
for
that.
Okay,
that's
it
for
my
comments
and
questions.
Thank
you.
K
K
K
One
of
the
parks
on
my
list
was
surprisingly
low
to
me
and
I
just
wanted
to
find
out
the
next
time
we
meet
if
we
could
go
over
if
you,
if
you
could
have
the
details
for
my
perks
and
the
scores,
so
I
can
know
why
why
they
got
the
scores
that
they
had
and
I'm
getting
to
know
my
new
parks
and
my
you
know
the
new
part
of
my
district
from
redistricting.
So
it
would
be
really
helpful
to
kind
of
go
through
some
of
those
and
I'm
doing
some
parks
tours
already.
K
L
Thanks
meryl
be
brief.
I
also
really
appreciate
the
detailed
report,
all
the
data,
it's
really
helpful
and
I,
I
think
you
know
just
to
reference
councilman
crossco's
presentation.
I
I
appreciate
her
comments
and
I
I'll
just
say.
I
hope
that
the
this
new
scoring
system
enables
us
to
ensure
that
for
districts,
five
and
four
in
other
areas
that
have
been
where
access
to
high
quality
parks
is
not
equal,
that
we
hold
ourselves
accountable
to
getting
to
that
high
score
across
the
board.
L
So
I
just
want
to
acknowledge
her
comments
and
thank
her
for
those.
I
wanted
to
also
just
highlight
a
couple
other
things
quickly
well
done
on
the
water
savings
20.
I
think
that's
really
exciting.
Do
we
happen
to
know,
in
addition
to
the
staff
time
savings,
what
that
means
in
terms
of
dollars
per
year
that
we
may
be
saving
because
of
the
reduction
of
water
use.
H
Thank
you
councilman
for
the
question
so
for
for
this
year
that
we're
in
we're
forecasting
a
savings
within
our
parks,
water
budget
of
about
a
million
and
a
quarter.
What
year,
I
think
you're
also
alluding
to
is
some
of
the
benefits
of
going
towards
smart
irrigation
infrastructure.
Yes,
this
the
time
savings
we
face,
whereas
in
the
past
we
had
to
have
crews
going
out
to
every
park
seasonally
to
adjust
our
irrigation
controllers.
H
Now
we
can
do
that
on
our
ipads
or
on
iphones
or
back
at
our
offices
remotely,
which
is
really
a
huge
benefit
for
the
teams
in
the
field,
because
they
can
again
focus
on
other
activities
and
get
a
little
bit
more
done.
We
haven't
taken
a
kind
of
a
systematic
look
at
quantifying
that,
but
that's
something
that
we
have
interest
in
in
doing
over
the
next
period
of
time.
L
M
D
H
On
the
on
the
controller
and
sorry
feel
free
to
jump
in
on
the
controller
side,
we've
actually
installed
most
of
them
across
our
park
system,
there's
only
about
less
than
two
dozen
left
in
our
park
system.
The
next
phase
of
the
project
is
actually
also
really
exciting
for
us,
which
is
getting
in
deeper
into
the
guts
of
our
irrigation
systems
and
installing
the
flow
sensors
and
master
valves
that
provide
us,
the
ability
to
detect,
leaks
and
then
shut
off
the
water
at
the
source.
H
L
L
It
seems
to
me
that
that
you
know
looking
at
the
photos
that
council
member
carrasco
put
up
the
complaints
we
get
about
certain
parks,
it
just
seemed
like
I
would
have
expected
more
of
a
distribution
than
I
saw,
and
it
just
seemed
like
the
a
large
number
of
them
were
higher
on
that
scale
of
zero
to
100
than
I
would
have
expected.
Am
I
am
I
misreading
that?
L
F
So
I
don't
think
we
can
compare
the
old
scores
to
the
new
scores
because
the
old
scores
were,
you
know
one
to
five
and
someone
would
go
out
and
look
at
it
and
we
had
some
guidelines,
but
staff
would
say
yeah,
you
know
that's
a
a
three
or
a
four.
You
know
a
two.
You
know
based
on
it,
but
now
everything
is
broken
into
multiple
categories
and
so
we're
looking
at
individual.
F
F
So
you
know
when,
when
ever
the
staff
goes
out
to
the
park,
you
know
and
does
the
assessment,
that's
what
they're
going
to
see.
So
if
a
crew
has
just
been
through
there
and
and
we
don't
plan
it
so
they're
going
through
after
cruise,
but
whenever
if
a
crew
has
just
been
through
there
and
cleaned
up
a
park,
it's
just
naturally
going
to
get.
You
know
higher
score.
L
L
Yeah,
no,
I
get
that.
I
really
appreciate
that
we're
moving
to
a
more
rigorous
standards-based
approach
to
the.
I
think
this
is
great
and
I
think
it's
really
an
important
move.
I
just
if
it
doesn't
intuitively
feel
like
a
90
to
someone
in
the
community
and
we're
telling
them
this
park's
a
91
that
or
whatever
that's
going
to
be
a
problem.
So
I
just
I'm
just
flagging
that
now,
because
some
of
the
scores
just
the
way
they
fell
on
the
scale,
it
seemed
like
the
distribution.
I
mean,
what
was
the
lowest
score?
L
F
Yeah,
just
to
add
to
that
you
know
so
we're
looking
at
it
from
a
very
technical
point
of
view
and
that's
the
reason
we're
pushing
out
the
public
facing
survey.
Okay,
because
we
also
want
to
get
the
input.
You
know
we
have
the
park,
concerns
for
people
to
send
us
things,
but
we
also
want
to
know
what
you
know:
the
everyday
park
user
using
the
park
things
and
we're
going
to
take
those
and
and
look
at
both
of
those
and
that's
how
we're
going
to
you
know,
create
our
work
plans
moving
forward.
L
N
Yeah,
let
me
let
me
I'm
just
jennifer.
Let
me
help
we're
right
now.
It's
one
of
the
classes,
our
maintenance
worker
series
or
one
of
the
series
that
we're
looking
at
and
we're
doing,
salary
surveys
on,
I
think
we're
somewhat
under
market,
and
so
that
is
one
area
that
we
do
get
a
lot
of
our
employees.
N
G
Yeah,
I
would
say
obviously
pay
is
always
a
motivator,
but
we
struggle
across
all
of
our
divisions
and
across
the
whole
city.
We
have
some
recruitments
lined
up
right
now
coming
in
we're
also
trying
to
create
an
apprentice
program
where
we
create
a
feeder
into
our
park,
maintenance
from
the
conservation
corps
and
the
work
we
do
with
them
and
or
the
resilience
corps
over
the
next
year
or
so
we'd
love
that
when
all
that
federal
funding
runs
out,
we
have
jobs
waiting
for
some
of
those
folks.
Now
we're
not
sitting
on
vacancies.
G
For
that
I
don't
want
to.
I
don't
want
to
sure
that
to
be
misconstrued,
it's
a
tough
job.
You
know
it's
not
an
easy
job
and
it's
all
outdoor
work
for
the
most
part.
It's
your
it's
back,
work
right!
It's
you
know!
So
it's
hard
to
keep
people
in
some
cases.
We
just
see
a
lot
of
turnover
in
the
positions,
but
we're
hopeful
that
this
next
round
of
recruitments
will
be
beneficial
and
we're
hopeful
that
apprentice
pipeline
will
be
successful
for
us
long
term
of
just
continuously
feeding
us
qualified
candidates.
L
O
You
know
which
ones
I'm
talking
about
de
anza
park
for
one
has
such
bad
grass
that
it
can't
be
replaced
or
the
the
plumbing
underneath
the
irrigation
system
underneath
can't
be
replaced,
and
so
it's
actually
unsafe
for
kids
to
play
soccer
on
it
because
they
twist
their
ankle.
I
know
they
do.
I
know
we've
talked
about
this
and
and
how
to
resolve
it,
and
I
don't
know
that
it
can
be
resolved
without
huge
expenditures.
O
But
you
know,
when
you're
living
and
have
a
district
that
doesn't
have
a
lot
of
development
you're,
not
getting
a
lot
of
park
fees
either,
and
I
think
that's
happening
in
probably
council
member
carrasco's
district
as
well,
just
not
a
lot
of
park
fees
but
the
so.
So
I
see
a
couple
of
my
parks
that
I'm
actually
surprised
at
how
low
they
are.
One
is
erickson
lone
hill,
I'm
not
surprised,
we
could
talk
about
those
offline.
O
G
Sure
so
most
of
the
capital
improvements
come
from
sources
other
than
the
general
fund
right
and
are
heavily
dependent
on
development
and
construction
and
conveyance,
and
that
just
doesn't
happen
a
lot
in
district,
nine,
that's
the
reality,
and
so
that
system
is
not
serving
a
district
like
yours
very
well,
because
you're
not
getting
the
funding.
You
need
to
do
these
kind
of
repairs,
typically
an
asset
within
a
council
district.
G
G
First
of
all,
the
way
we
even
collect
the
fees
or
how
we
the
calculation
we
use,
but
also
look
at
this
larger
issue
of
distribution,
because
if
you
look
at,
for
example,
I'll
pick
on
district
3,
just
because
everybody
sees
how
much
development
goes
on
down
here,
residential
development,
they
usually
have
the
most
money
in
their
coffers.
At
the
end
of
the
day,
district
six
is
another
because
they
get
a
lot
of
development,
but
one
and
nine
and
others
ten
there's
just
not
much
coming
in.
G
So
we
really
struggle
to
try
to
maintain
or
repair
those
assets.
So
those
are
the
rationales,
I'm
not
going
to
say
that
they
make
sense
or
that
they're
the
right
ways,
but
I
will
tell
you
the
whole
that
whole
fee
system
and
how
we
collect
those
capital
fees
off
residential
development.
We
plan
to
be
in
front
of
you
at
the
end
of
this
year
with
what
we'll
recommend
as
a
new
way
to
approach
it.
O
O
G
O
I
I
appreciate
that,
and
I
I
appreciate
that
I
can
be
critical
of
that
piece
with
you
every
time
I
talk
to
you,
john,
so
I
I
appreciate
that
you
graciously
listen
to
me
complain
every
time
and
I
complain
to
my
chief
of
staff.
Why
do
we
have
to
pay
for
this
so
coming
up
with
some
equitable
way
that
we
we
benefit
from
development
in
d6
and
d3?
O
You
know
the
google
project
we're
going
to
talk
about
google
in
a
few
minutes
and
the
allocation
of
their
community
benefits
package,
but
they've
got
a
lot
of
parks
going
in
and
that
development
is
going
to
be
huge
and
that's
going
to
stay
someplace
and
it's
not
going
to
benefit
district
5.
It's
not
going
to
benefit
district,
9
or
other
areas,
so
some
kind
of
equitable
way
is
helpful
and
I
look
forward
to
seeing
that
in
december.
O
D
O
P
If
someone
from
the
parks
department
can
speak
to
where
we
are
on
that
topic,
if
polling
has
been
done,
what
we
think
our
you
know,
possibility
of
success
is
and
just
general
sort
of
thoughts
on
the
matter.
I
think
it's
an
important
thing
to
discuss
and
I
feel
like
it's
sort
of
it's
not
front
and
center,
and
I
think
it
should
be-
and
I'm
just
curious
as
to
why,
and
so
someone
can
touch
on
that.
Q
Q
a
variety
of
reasons
because
of
that,
but
really
kind
of
a
overall
confusion
and
lack
of
trust
in
government.
Overall.
So
we're
continuing
to
monitor
the
public
policy
institute
of
california
and
their
monthly
polling
on
trust
and
government.
That's
broken
down
by
sector
and
region.
So
we
can
see
how
things
are
going,
but
we're
going
to
regroup
with
the
parks,
department
and
start
planning
and
looking
at
various
mechanisms
for
2024
when
there's
a
presidential
election
and
any
of
the
council
members
who
haven't
been
briefed.
P
I
think
we
need
to
be
ready
to
pull
the
trigger
at
a
moment's
notice,
and
so
that's
all.
I
wanted
to
express.
Thank
you
for
the
report.
I
don't
you
know.
I
was
I'm
on
my
phone
and
I
was
in
a
vehicle,
and
I
didn't
quite
hear-
and
this
is
obviously
on
a
slightly
different
note.
But
I
didn't
quite
hear
responses
to
some
of
what
council
member
carrasco
was
saying
asking
as
it
relates
to
some
of
the
park
conditions
in
her
respective
district
and
I'm
curious.
G
Sure
I'll
take
that
council
member
there.
There
were
a
lot
of
statements
and
questions
that
it
would
be
hard
to
go
sort
of
all
through
all
of
it.
I
will.
I
will
just
try
to
be
clear
and
say
we
own
this
we're
okay
with
owning
this.
You
know,
there's
a
reason
I'll
just
give
you
a
quick
history.
You
may
not
know
this
or
remember
this
about
avi,
the
deputy
director
of
parks,
his
career
started
as
an
auditor,
so
he's
very
analytical.
G
He
actually
worked
for
our
own
auditor.
For
some
years
he
came
over
to
parks.
I
promoted
him
into
this
position
to
run
the
parks
division
literally
a
month
before
the
pandemic.
He
inherited
this
old
score
system.
He
realized
it
wasn't
really
effective,
it
wasn't
working
for
us
it
wasn't.
We
weren't
creating
work
plans
or
really
using
it
in
a
substantial
way,
so
he
completely
changed
the
system.
I
do
believe
that
the
direction
we're
heading
in
is
very
good.
It
creates
work
plans
for
these
low
scoring
parks.
G
It
forces
the
supervisors
in
the
field
to
focus
on
them
and
get
the
work
done,
and
then
we
rescore
them.
So
it
becomes
a
performance
thing
as
well,
so
I
think
this
system
on
its
own
is
going
to
move
the
needle,
but
fundamentally
council
member.
It
is
a
resource
issue
like
you
said.
I
think
we
can
make
improvements,
no
doubt
about
it,
and
you
know
we
always
are
looking
for
ways
to
invest.
We
have
budget
proposals
we're
trying
to
advance
this
year
as
well
to
continue
to
invest.
G
I
just
mentioned
how
we
figured
out
a
way
to
bring
back
integrated
pest
management
and
turf
repair.
So
we
keep
trying
to
do
the
bits
and
pieces
we
can
through
each
budget
cycle,
but
the
new
system
we
have,
I
think,
you're,
going
to
see
results,
we're
already
seeing
those
results.
Just
those
couple
pictures
show
you
some
results
and,
as
we've
said
before,
we're
happy
to
go
through
those
parks
with
each
of
you
in
your
districts
or
with
your
staff.
G
G
You
know
avi
mentioned
the
healthy
places
index,
so
we
have
this
objective
scoring
system
now
sort
of
this
professional
eye,
and
then
we
marry
it
to
that
index
and
that's
where
we
know
where
to
start
right,
so
low
scoring
park.
Sure
every
one
of
you
have
low
scoring
parks.
The
hpi
tells
us
where
to
get
started
in
the
city.
So
that's
how
I'm
going
to
summarize.
P
Yeah,
I
appreciate
that
and
I,
if
it
I
would
say
that
you
know
I
in
some
of
the
part
you
know,
councilmember
carrasco
was
saying
that
she
grew
up
in
the
horseshoe
and
you
know
she
didn't
necessarily
grow
up
in
east
san
jose,
and
so
some
of
the
parks
she
mentioned
are
parks
that
I
frequented.
When
I
was
growing
up
and
I
hung
out
with
friends
at
capitol
park,
for
example,
or
whatever
it
may
be
right,
I
went
to
mayfair,
I
grew
up
near
overfelt
gardens.
P
I
spent
a
lot
of
time
there
and
then
so
I
know
that,
and
I
just
say
this
just
so
you
understand
my
frame
of
mind
is
that
I
know
that
you
know
this
responsibility
of
making
these
parks
what
they
can
and
should
be.
I
think
it's
our
all
of
our
responsibility
and
I'm
not
necessarily
casting
blame
on
you.
I
think
I
think,
having
grown
up
in
the
area,
I
think
these
issues
have
been
around
for
a
little
while,
and
so
you
know,
and
from
what
I
can
gather
in
this
new
scoring
system.
P
It
seems
like
we're
just
simply
unearthing
and
sort
of
rear
in
the
head
of
some
of
what
we
sort
of
knew
was
happening,
and
I'd
like
to
think
that
you
know
part
of
solving
a
problem
is
understanding
what
it
is
right
and
it
seems
like
we
were
obviously
there,
but
I
just
wanted
to
point
out
that
I
I
certainly
don't
blame
you.
I
think
you
know
this
this.
Some
of
these
parks
didn't
get
in
this
condition
overnight.
P
E
You
said
something
you
said:
you
know:
every
district
has
its
low
grading
park.
Council
member
foley
just
pointed
something
out
which
was
a
picture
of
a
park
that
we
that
we
put
up
here,
because
I
think
it's
a
matter
of
perspective
right.
We
put
it
up
here
because
it
looks
10
times
better
than
our
park.
E
E
E
E
I
just
keep
getting
mad
at
the
injustices
that
I
have
to
keep
bringing
up
during
this
time
and
eight
years
later,
it's
still
here,
and
so
I
I'm
grateful
that
now
we're
using
a
different
tool.
But
I've
been
talking
about
this
for
eight
years,
so
I'm
frustrated
frustrated,
because
I
don't
think
that
we
needed
a
new
tool
to
see
that
there's
graffiti
all
over
the
mayfair,
which
is
where
some
of
our
poorest
children
live.
E
And
when
my
team
goes
out
there
to
work
on
a
project
with
some
volunteers,
you
know
the
volunteers
that
everybody
seems
to
be
bragging
about.
Well,
I
have
volunteers.
Also,
you
know
what
they
were
doing.
They
were
taking
out
kitchen
shears
kitchen
shears,
to
cut
weeds
at
a
park,
because
the
weed
whacker
was
lent
out
to
the
west
side,
because
the
west
side's
weed
whacker
was
broken
for
how
many
months
no
one
could.
No
one
could
tell
me
for
how
many
months
the
weed
whacker
from
the
east
side
was
laying
out
to
the
west
side.
E
People
are
limited,
those
are
resources,
I
get
it.
We
have
a
huge
vacancy,
but
there
are
some
things
that
are
within
our
control
and
that's
what
I
want
to
talk
about
those
things
that
are
within
our
control,
those
things
that
we
can
deploy
that
are
within
our
control,
those
things
that
are
in
our
closets
that
are
within
our
control,
those
things
that
are
within
our
capacity.
E
E
E
Plus
the
lack
of
canopy
keeps
me
up
at
night,
plus
the
people
and
the
children
that
now
don't
have
their
parents
because
they
died
from
covet
or
the
parents
that
no
longer
have
their
businesses
because
they
had
to
shut
down
their
doors
or
the
parents
are
calling
me
because
they're
struggling
because
they
still
can't
seem
to
get
their
clients
back
due
to
covet.
You
know
that
kind
of
stuff,
but
they
don't
qualify
for
the
programs
because
they're
undocumented
you
know
normal
stuff
that
hits
willow,
glen
or
amaden
valley
or
rose
garden
or
south
side.
E
E
You
don't
have
to
pull
out
your
own
kitchen
shears
to
cut
the
weeds
in
your
own
park.
You
can
come
out
of
the
overcrowded
conditions
that
you
live
in
the
stuffy
apartment
summer's
about
to
hit.
There's
no
air
conditioning,
you
can
come
out
and
play.
We
have
a
playground
for
you,
that's
what
I
want
to
know.
How
do
we
do
that?
G
D
Hey
john,
I
had
a
question
about
how
we
come
up
with
the
district
averages.
I
noticed
that
when
you
look
at
the
appendix
to
the
report,
one
of
the
attachments-
I'm
not
sure
what
we
called
it.
Maybe
it's
exhibit
a
it
seems
like
there
are
lots
of
community
assets.
I
just
looked
at,
for
example,
district,
3
and
and
you'll
see.
D
You
know
the
peralta
adobe
is
listed,
the
ellington
library,
for
example.
They
may
well
have
some
vegetation
out
in
front
or
something,
but
for
the
most
part
you
know
nobody
would
call
it
the
park
and
those
always
have
really
high
scores
so
like
near
100
and
then
the
parks
that
seem
biggest
most
frequented.
You
know
watson,
park
or
roosevelt.
H
D
D
D
D
D
Yeah-
and
I
noticed
like
you
know,
like
the
you
know,
the
park
that
adobe
maintains
for
itself,
you
know
for
you're
not
going
to
find
kids
there
for
the
most
part
right,
because
it's
around
a
corporate.
So
I
guess
so
we're
comparing
apples
to
apples.
When
we
do
this
going
forward.
Could
we
exclude
those
non-park
assets
so
we're
just
looking
at
parks,
because
I
think,
for
example,
district
3
would
see
much
lower
scores,
particularly
given
what
we
know
about
the
parks
where
kids
will
end
up
going
right.
G
D
D
G
Yeah-
and
I
do
want
to
let
you
know
philosophically
we
are-
we've
been
circling
around
this
issue
of
parks.
You
know
they're
not
all
used
equally
right
right
and
particularly
when
you
just
contrast,
say
downtown
to
the
more
suburban
areas
right.
You
have
an
urban
park
system
in
the
middle
in
the
core
and
you
have
a
suburban
park
system
and
you
have
different
densities
of
people
around
them
and
it's
not
limited
to
the
downtown
they're
dense
areas,
for
example
in
in
five
district,
five
to
seven
and
so
we're
looking
at.
G
Q
G
D
D
You
know
tori
and
her
team
showed
me
some
of
the
when
we
were
out
at
gosh.
It
was
a
park
government
council,
member
crosco's
district
overfelt.
She
she
showed
us
how
the
her
team
showed
me
how
the
the
water,
the
the
remote
water
watering
program,
was
working.
The
electronic
monitoring,
which
seemed
wonderful-
and
I
noticed
the
report
made
mention
of
several-
of
these
sort
of
capital
improvements
around
irrigation,
which
seemed
to
save
us
money.
It
seemed
to
save
water
etc.
D
H
Thank
you
mary
for
the
question
yeah.
We
do
have
an
estimate.
I
don't
have
it
right
in
front
of
me,
but
we
have
estimated
the
the
cost
to
to
fully
complete
the
smart
irrigation
infrastructure
right.
The
next
step,
as
I
mentioned
at
customer
management,
would
be
the
flow,
sensors
and
master
valves.
The
one
thing
we
note
is
what
we're
still
going
to
start
facing
more
and
more
as
our
park
system
ages
is
the
fact
that
a
lot
of
the
guts
of
the
parks
are
50
years
old
and
they're
going
to
keep
failing,
yeah.
D
D
Yeah,
I
get
it
no
app's
going
to
magically
fit
the
broken
pipe,
but
it'll
certainly
tell
us
where,
when
it's
when
it's
broken,
which
is
a
good
thing,
the
reason
I
just
throw
that
out
is
you
know.
We
may
have
an
opportunity
for
one-time
funding
now
to
use
and
we
may
not
have
in
other
years,
and
it
seems
like
the
one
thing
we
could
do
to
really
provide
you
guys.
D
Some
relief
on
your
budget
is
reduce
your
cost
with
some
technology,
and
I
know
you
know
this
already,
I'm
telling
you
what
you
already
know
it'd
be
helpful
for
us
to
know
as
policymakers.
What
that
trade-off
is,
and
if
perhaps
you'd
be
willing
to
report
through
the
budget
process
hey
in
a
happy
world.
If
we
had
x
million
dollars
is
what
we
could
do
and
I
think
it
would
obviously
have
a
significant
impact
on
your
ongoing
budget.
Is
that
fair
to
say.
D
Yes,
okay,
I
appreciate
that.
I
look
forward
to
to
continue
that
conversation
and
then
super
happy
to
hear
about.
It
was
two
resilience
corps
members
who
got
hired,
which
is
fantastic,
love
to
hear
that
I
think
it
was
it
was
during
torrey's
presentation.
There
was
a
mention
of
a
of
a
program
around
training
at
west
valley.
Is
that
right
or.
H
D
H
H
D
And
then
I
I
know
this
goes
back
a
bit
to
what
councilman
mahan
asked,
but
I
guess
I
was
surprised
to
see
the
numbers
so
high,
and
so
I
I
know
that,
like
I,
this
involved
a
lot
more
work
than
I
can
know,
and
so
I'm
not
criticizing
the
model
at
all.
But
I
just
wondered
given
the
fact
that
I'm
guessing
there's
still
significant
disparity
in
park.
Quality
between
you
know
the
83
and
the
and
the
89.
D
D
Just
throw
that
out
for
consideration
may
have
already
thought
that
I
I
do
very
much
appreciate
that
in
the
presentation
you
highlighted
the
kesto
park
and
overflowing
trash,
because
I
think
john
cecilia
is
tired
of
me,
emailing
him
and
saying
hey:
are
we
ever
going
to
get
anybody
to
pick
up
this
trash?
So
thank
you
very
much
for
including
that
in
the
presentation.
I
appreciate
that
you're
channeling,
my
energy.
We
look
forward
to
and
it
has
actually
gotten
better.
So
thank
you
anyway.
All
right
we're
on
to
council
member.
R
Yeah,
thank
you
mayor.
I
appreciate
that
conversation
as
well.
I
had
some
similar,
I
think,
concerns
on
on
some
of
the
numbers
here
and
and
I'll.
I
guess
I'll
be
specific.
So
that
way,
maybe
john,
you
can
help
and
see
how
we
got
to
where
we
got.
For
instance,
ryland
park
was
rated
at
3.4
previously
and
then
now
it's
100
and
I'm
curious
how
we,
how
we
jump
up.
R
I
I
was
concerned
as
well
kind
of
with
the
how
how
high
some
of
the
numbers
were,
but
particularly,
I
think
that
the
hundred
percent
marks
like
parque
de
los
pobladores
as
well
and
and
recognizing
I
I
would
rate
them
fairly
high,
but
curious
kind
of
how
you
how
how
would
a
park
like
that
get
up
to
a
hundred
percent
and
specifically
a
park
save
like
rylan.
It
was
nowhere
near
a
five
previously.
G
Yeah
tori
actually
to
answer
it.
She
has
some
detail,
but
I
I
will
just
reiterate:
don't
compare
it
to
the
one
through
five
system:
they're
not
comparable,
but
we
definitely
hear
what
all
of
you
are
saying
that
well,
it
seems
weird
that
we
have
an
average
of
87.
You
know
that's
practically
a
b
plus
and
that's
not
what
we're
seeing,
which
is
part
of
why
we
want
to
do
the
community
surveys
for
the
people
that
use
the
park.
G
F
Yeah,
so
I
think
what
we're
seeing
this
year
is
the
way
our
new
methodology
is
working.
Is
you
know,
we're
breaking
everything
down
into
categories
and
it's
a
pass
or
a
fail,
and
so
something
doesn't
need
to
be
perfect
in
order
to
be
a
pass,
it
just
needs
to
meet
certain
criteria
which
are
outlined
in
our
park:
maintenance
standards,
and
so
if
each
of
those
elements
in
that
park
met
those
criteria,
that's
going
to
get
a
pass,
and
so,
if
everything
gets
a
pass,
that's
going
to
give
you
that
1.0
or
100
percent.
R
But
I
I
don't
think
that's
how
our
community
is
going
to
interpret
it.
If
that's
not
how
we
interpreted
it,
certainly
not
how
I
interpreted
you
know,
I
think
you
look
at
100,
you
think
100
right,
you
think
you
missed
nothing
on
an
exam
and-
and
that
might
be
the
case
here.
Is
you
pass
everything,
but
you
don't
really
pass
it
at
100
right
you,
you
may
pass
it
at
a
at
a
b
plus
right,
which
is
which
is
surely
still
passing,
but
it's,
but
it's
not.
R
You
know
not
trying
to
knock
on
on
what
we've
done
here,
but
I
do
think
it
just
you
know
it's
going
to
need
some
iterating
as
we
move
through
the
years
and
looking
at
how
do
we
be
even
more
authentic
in
what
we're
looking
at
and-
and
I
think
similarly
there
are
other
factors.
For
instance,
I
was
looking
at
st
james
park
and
you
know
you
actually
the
82.
You
know
you
can
look
at
a
park
like
that
and
kind
of
see.
Well
yeah.
R
R
If
we
can,
you
know
if
we're
going
to
be
able
to
include
that
in
scores.
I
wouldn't
even
maybe
advocate
that
we
do
that,
but
it's
just
a
reality
of
other
factors
that
are
at
play
here
on
on
how
parks
are
actually
able
to
be
utilized.
I
I
would
agree
with
the
mayor.
I
don't
necessarily
think
the
averaging
and
utilizing
things
like
joyce,
ellington
branch
library
you
know
is,
is
giving
a
true
outlook
on
the
parks
either
right.
Those
are
clearly
not
parked
facilities.
R
They
are
under
the
parks,
recreation,
neighborhood,
services
and
and
certainly
using
the
same
dollars,
but
I
think
it
would
be
helpful
to
sort
of
see
an
apples
to
apples
on
when
it
when
it's
parks
and
other
parks.
That
being
said,
I
I
completely
agree
with
what
the
direction
that
you
are
going,
john
and
and
have
always
felt
as
though
the
sheer
number
of
development
that
we
have
in
d3
and
the
dollars
that
come
in
right.
R
R
And
I
look
forward
to
that
last
comment
and-
and
this
is
a
newer
challenge
and-
and
it
has
to
do-
and
I
think
it's
just
unfortunate,
but
but
I
think
worthwhile
pointing
it
out
we're
very
proud
to
have
a
new
park
tamiya
park
and
it
scores
high
and
it
should
score
high
right.
It's
a
brand
new
brand
new
park,
nice
fields,
open
field
soccer
fields,
courts
and
the
trail
track,
and
unfortunately,
right,
we've
allocated
resources
to
it
and
you
would
assume
that
a
new
park
like
this
right.
R
R
Maybe
it
would
be
a
contractor
issue,
but
it
looks
like
we
utilized
potentially
some
grass
that
we
hadn't
used
before
called
kentucky
bluegrass,
that
that
grass
didn't
match
up
well
with
the
soil
that
was
there
and
now
what
we
have
is
apache
soccer
field
with
a
bunch
of
dying
grass
and-
and
we
have
a
you
know-
only
a
few
real
options
to
to
resolve
it
all
of
them.
You
know
taking
resources,
some
more
significant
than
others
and
and
the
less
significant
resources
mean
of
you
know
a
much
longer.
R
For
instance,
you
know
several
years
to
fix,
and
this
is
just
right
in
this
case.
These
are,
in
my
mind,
unacceptable
mistakes,
because
we
know
we
have
limited
resources
and
it.
It
just
pains
me
to
know
that
right
we
may
have
to
allocate
more
resources
to
a
brand
new
park
because
right,
potentially
internal
mistakes
that
that
were
made
on
our
end
on
whether
it
was
the
choice
of
grass
or
the
mixture
of
the
soil.
R
So
it
just
makes
it
that
much
harder,
and
I
think
you
already
know
you
don't
have
to
necessarily
respond
to
that
one
unless
you
want
to,
but
I
think
it's
just
right.
We
as
well
have
to
be
so
very,
very
diligent
about
the
resources
that
we
have
and
and
opening
up
a
brand
new
part
right.
Having
a
mistake
like
that,
in
my
mind,
is
just
not
acceptable.
J
F
Okay,
so
first
I'll
respond
to
trash
pickup
in
parks,
and
so
our
parks
are
serviced
generally
depending
on
the
size
and
how
often
they're
used
so
parks
are
seen
monday,
wednesday
and
friday
or
tuesday,
thursday,
depending
on
the
amount
of
traffic
in
the
parks
and
the
busiest
parks
are
seen
on
saturdays
and
sundays.
We
do
have
trash
pickup
on
those
in
terms
of
receptacles.
J
F
You
know
I
don't
know
if
there's
a
measure,
I
know
when
a
park
is
designed.
You
know
we
place
parks
where
we
place
the
trash
cans
in
areas
where
they're
most
likely
going
to
be
utilized
like
around
playgrounds,
picnic
areas
that
type
of
thing,
but
that
you
know
design,
doesn't
always
work
once
a
park
is
actively
used.
G
G
It
produces
a
whole
lot
of
trash,
and
we
don't
even
know
about
it
until
we
show
up
money
to
pick
up
the
trash
and
the
whole
place
is
trashed
or
they
break
the
irrigation,
or
things
like
that
which
which
of
course
lower
the
score
of
the
park
and
lower
the
usability
of
the
park
or
just
more
housing,
gets
built
and
there's
more
people
using
it.
You
know.
G
In
the
pandemic
we
saw
a
big
bump
up
in
use
of
parks,
even
though
the
density
of
the
city
didn't
change,
everybody
just
got
outside,
and
so
that
put
pressure
on
the
system.
So
it
is
kind
of
a
moving
thing,
and
sometimes
you
go
yeah.
We
need
to
add
more
and
in
some
cases
you
won't
because
nothing
really
changes.
So
so
there
isn't
a
perfect
metric
for
that.
It
is
more
anecdotal,
like
you
suggested.
S
A
A
A
A
I
think,
is
something
that
we
really
need
to
also
look
at
because
for
whole
neighborhoods.
They
don't
have
anything
else,
they
have
that
resource
and
that's
it,
and
so
I
just
wanted
to
add
my
voice
to
councilmember
godzilla's
concerns
and
I'm
glad
that
we're
talking
about
density,
I'm
glad
that
we're
talking
about
usability,
because
to
me
those
are
components
of
equity.
A
D
B
D
Thank
you.
Thank
you,
everyone
for
your
hard
work.
We
know
this
one's
hard
and
but
it's
it
matters
a
lot
to
our
community.
So
thank
you,
john
avi
and
tori.
Okay,
we're
on
to
8.1,
which
are
actions
related
allocation
of
community
benefit
payment
from
google
and
as
nancy
and
team
are
making
their
way
down.
N
Thank
you
very
much
mayor
good
evening,
mayor
and
council
nancy
klein
office
of
economic
development,
cultural
affairs,
I'm
here
with
laurie
severino
angel
rios
jeff,
fruster
and
jill
bourne
to
discuss
allocation
of
early
community
benefits.
As
the
mayor
mentioned,
these
are
the
payments
from
the
downtown
west
project
in
may
of
2021,
the
council
approved
the
google
downtown
west
project
that
included
a
development
agreement
which
outlines
up
to
200
million
in
community
benefits,
including
7.5
million
dollars
in
early
payments
to
the
city.
T
Thank
you
nancy,
so
I
think
they're
working
on
getting
the
slides
up,
but
it
is
up
on
the
screen
there,
our
recommendation,
so
I
think
we're
on
slide
three.
I
believe
so
that'll
be
a
table
that
will
show
our
recommendations
for
the
4.5
million
of
early
funding,
so
the
previous
council
direction
was
to
sorry
yes,
so
this
is
the
previous
council
direction
from
the
may
2021
supplemental
memo,
and
so
this
was
to
allocate
3.25
million
to
support
opportunity
pathways
for
underserved
or
at
risk
youth
and
adults.
T
T
The
council
also
allocated
1
million
to
programs
at
the
gardner
community
center
to
support
economic
recovery
and
build
community
among
residents
of
the
broader
deardon
station
area.
The
direction
for
this
item
was
to
do
neighborhood,
listening
sessions
to
inform
the
specific
programs
and,
lastly,
in
the
third
row
in
yellow
council
allocated
250
000
to
for
staff
to
set
up
the
new
community
stabilization
and
opportunities
opportunity
pathways
fund,
as
outlined
in
the
downtown
west
development
agreement.
T
The
fourth
recommendation
is
to
allocate
525
000
for
a
new
staff
position
to
advance
the
work
on
the
city's
college
and
career
readiness
system.
This
supports
the
broader
goal
to
improve
education
and
employment
outcomes
for
san
jose's
youth
by
ensuring
that
the
city's
efforts
are
strategic
and
coordinated
across
the
system.
T
The
process
will
generate
the
specific
recommendations
for
the
programming
and
we
plan
to
complete
the
outreach
over
the
next
six
months
and
the
staff
recommendation
for
the
hundred
and
fifty
thousand
for
fund
set
up
is
to
hire
a
consultant
to
help
establish
and
run
the
new
community
advisory
committee
to
compensate
the
third
party
fund
manager
until
the
funds
from
google
come
in
and
to
use
some
for
public
engagement
related
to
this
process,
and
so
we'll
also
reserve
a
small
portion
as
a
contingency
so
I'll
pass
it
back
to
nancy.
For
the
final
slide.
N
A
Q
I
think
this
really
still
stands
as
the
model
for
what
we
should
try
to
aim
for
in
terms
of
a
partnership
between
the
city,
a
developer,
the
technology,
industry,
labor
and
the
community-
and
I
I
believe
you
know
this
is
a
really
important
step
forward,
this
early
payment
and
the
steps
towards
creating
the
stabilization
fund.
We
really
have
an
opportunity
here
for
the
city
to
be
a
leader
in
how
we
not
not
just
addressing
displacement,
but
how
we
address
displacement
by
centering.
Q
Those
who
have
the
most
experience
who
are
who
are
feeling
these
impacts
directly?
Who
are
they
themselves
experts
and
what
what's
needed
to
really
stabilize
a
family,
a
neighborhood,
a
community
and
so
encourage
the
council
to
continue
to
work
towards
seeding
the
community
advisory
body,
making
sure
that
we
have
those
community
experts
that
have
that
culturally,
appropriate
knowledge
that
understand
our
working
families
here
in
san
jose
to
make
sure
that
we
can
make
the
most
of
this
opportunity
going
forward.
Q
That
was
something
that
we
as
silicon
valley,
rising
and
our
community
partners,
had
really
been
urging
google
and
the
city
to
work
towards,
and
so
much
much
appreciation
for
the
collaboration
that
we've
seen
not
just
with
the
initial
agreement,
but
subsequently
to
really
try
to
make
this
fund
to
success
and
to
get
moving
as
quickly
as
possible
to
show
real
real
impacts
in
the
in
the
community
going
forward
so
very
excited
to
continue
to
work
with
all
the
stakeholders
and
make
this
a
success.
Thank
you.
So
much.
I
Thank
you
very
much.

Today,
I'm
speaking
about
the
community
benefit
payment
from
google
as
a
result
of
years
of
meaningful
community
conversations,
we
find
ourselves
an
ongoing
commitment
to
ensure
this
fund
is
to
the
benefit
of
san
jose
residents,
and
it
reflects
community
priorities.
I
It
is
imperative
that
this
fund
be
led
by
a
community
advisory
committee
that
represents
lived
experience
in
san
jose.
The
agreed
upon
structure
of
the
advisory
committee
allows
for
meaningful
collaboration
between
community
members
and
local
representatives
to
have
a
voice
in
the
initiatives
that
will
impact
your
city
to
ensure
the
success
of
this
fund.
The
thoughtful
selection
process
needed
to
ensure
community
voices
are
at
the
table
is
of
highest
priority
in
2022.
I
And
we're
holding
a
major
opportunity
to
fund
resources
in
areas
of
high
need
for
our
community,
I'm
very
hopeful
about
the
possibilities
of
this
agreement
and
the
priorities
just
listed
by
the
presentation
and
look
forward
to
continue
conversation
about
the
direction
of
this
work.
Thank
you
for
your
time.
A
N
We
hope
that
funds
from
the
google
project
will
continue
to
be
directed
toward
priorities,
as
determined
by
the
community,
including
preservation
of
preservation
of
housing,
community
ownership
and
protection
for
tenants,
especially
from
evictions
stemming
from
displacement
and
lack
of
affordability.
These
issues
remain
at
the
forefront
of
concern
for
many
san
jose
residents.
N
These
funds
from
google
are
a
real
opportunity
to
make
sure
that
resources
are
channeled
into
areas
of
high
need,
as
set
out
by
members
of
our
community,
and
we
look
forward
to
seeing
that
the
funds
from
this
tranche
and
future
tranches
that
are
that
will
be
will
be
allocated
and
used
in
ways
that
directly
benefit
those
most
detrimentally
impacted
by
the
project.
Thank
you.

A
Rodriguez,
hello,
my
name
is
noelia.
I'm
a
student
at
roberto
high
school,
I'm
a
student
in
the
program.
Sj
aspires.
This
program
has
taught
me
how
to
improve
my
writing
and
math
skills.
My
favorite
courses
are
those
related
to
math.
I
signed
up
for
khan
academy
account
and
students
rising
above
the
supports
my
math
and
writing
development.
When
I
grow
up,
I
want
to
work
with
the
high
school
students
like
me
now
and
help
them
with
their
education
after
high
school.
I
want
to
go
to
a
community
college
and
begin
courses
in
child
development.
A
My
family
did
not
go
to
college
and
doesn't
have
a
lot
of
money.
Sjsj
aspires
is
helping
me
reach
my
dreams
by
awarding
me
scholarships
that
I
can
use
for
college
without
their
scholarship
help
and
resources,
I
will
not
be
able
to
go
to
college.
Thank
you,
mayor
le
cardo,
for
launching
sj
aspires
and
to
the
city
council
for
supporting
my
dreams.
A
Thank
you
hi
everyone.
My
name
is
rocio
molina.
I
recently
joined
catalyze
sv
as
a
community
engagement
manager
and
thank
you,
council,
member
council,
members,
mayor
le
cardo
and
staff
members
for
your
recommendations
today
for
the
the
fund.
I
am
happy
to
see
that
community
engagement
is
a
priority
not
only
for
the
staff
and
for
the
council,
but
also
for
the
community
here
today
expressing
the
priorities
that
they
would
like
to
see
for
the
fund.
A
We
have
the
language
skills
and
the
community
resource
and
connections
to
connect
with
the
appropriate
networks
in
order
to
access
those
populations
that
may
not
necessarily
participate
in
all
of
the
existing
meetings
and
existing
platforms
that
are
available
to
them.
So
we
are
very
excited
to
see
this
program
be
launched
and
to
work
with
the
city,
as
well
as
the
community
engagement
committee
that
will
be
directing
the
funds.
Thank
you
for
all
of
your
work
and
I
look
forward
to
working
with
all
of
you.
S
Good
evening,
vito
keala
principal
at
overfelt,
high
school
mayor
and
city
council,
thank
you
so
much
for
your
advocacy
for
public
education
and
your
dedication
to
making
san
jose
a
more
equitable
city.
I
specifically
wanted
to
speak
on
the
merits
of
allocating
the
google
community
benefit
funds
towards
the
sjs
buyers
program.
S
S
These
awards
motivate
students
and
eventually
help
them
to
pay
for
college,
and
we
know
that
paying
for
college
is
an
obstacle
for
students,
and
especially
first
generation
students,
but
almost
as
important
as
that
is
that
this
investment
made
by
the
city
and
really
by
silicon
valley
corporations
like
google,
is
a
clear
sign
to
these
students
that
they're
valued
by
our
community
and
that
their
potential
is
recognized
that
they
are
seen
see.
I
know
these
students
I
work
with
them.
Every
day
I
see
their
strengths,
resilience
creativity.

B
All
right,
thank
you,
blair,
beekman
here
thanks
a
lot
for
this
item.
It's
nice
to
be
learning
how
a
community
can
be
involved
with
the
future
of
its
funding
issues
and
that's
an
important
concept.
I
know
paul
soto
and
myself
are
both
very
interested
in
those
in
the
future
of
google
funding
for
neighborhood
programs
of
san
jose
a
reminder.
As
we
went
over
this
item
last
year
the
week
before
the
events
of
the
vta,
it
was
kind
of
a.
B
It
was
a
watershed
moment
for
myself
in
my
life-
and
I
you
know
it's
kind
of
it
explains
my
life
where,
just
as
we
were
kind
of
reaching
a
conclusion
as
a
community,
I
you
know
for
good
and
bad
for
better
for
worse.
You
know,
then
these
terrible
events
happen
at
vta
and
I
was
hoping
it
could
set
a
pace.
B
From
all
of
that,
we
have
to
be
considering
the
concepts
that
this
is
national
security
technology.
We
really
have
to
have
open
public
policies
and
accountability
for
the
future
of
our
technology
in
local
communities.
There
can
be
ways
to
really
do
this
really
easily
and
there's
good
guidelines
available
and
just
a
reminder
as
we
move
forward
with
this
sort
of
project.
Thank
you.
A
I
Hi,
how
are
you
good
evening,
mayor
and
city
council?
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you
carrasco,
because
you're
beautiful
you're
with
me.
I
push
the
wrong
button.
I'm
sorry!
I
was
going
to
talk
about
the
acai
perks,
but
you
did
you
kill
it?
You
know
you
did
it.
Thank
you
thank
you
for
for
the
google
project
as
a
tech,
cafeteria
worker.
I
hope
this
project
gives
the
future,
which
is
the
younger
people,
are
the
tools
necessary
so
that
way
they
don't
get
this
place
and
they
get
good
jobs.
I
I
Keep
the
tech
companies
honest,
because
somebody
has
to
do
that
too.
Somebody
has
to
do
it
and
just
keep
doing
the
good
work
you
guys
are
doing
towards
this
funding
from
google
and
if
whoever
wants
to
come
in
a
city,
they
have
to
pay
for
the
nice
weather
and
the
very
good
people
that
they're
gonna
get
to
work
for
them,
and
I
hope
they
produce
many
many
jobs
and
help
the
economy
of
this
great
and
beautiful
city
and
our
neighborhoods
and
and
in
the
in
the
in
the
class.
A
I
My
name
is:
oh,
can
you
hear
me?
Yes,
okay,
perfect
hello,
my
name
is
chrissa
delatore
and
I'm
here
today
to
speak
on.
Google's
community
benefit
payment.
On
behalf
of
the
south
bay
labor
council,
we
represent
over
a
hundred
thousand
working
people
in
san
benito
and
santa
clara
counties.
In
order
to
be
successful,
this
fund
must
reflect
our
community's
values
and
uplift
san
jose's
working
families.
As
such,
the
city
council
needs
to
actively
recruit
residents
to
help
lead
the
community
advisory
committee.
I
This
will
help
guarantee
that
the
residents
of
san
jose
can
give
our
elected
officials
meaningful
input
on
the
initiatives
that
will
impact
our
city.
Moreover,
to
address
san
jose's,
unaffordable,
housing
and
displacement
crisis
or
crises.
This
fund
needs
to
prioritize
preservation.
Community
ownership
and
protections
for
attendance
from
evictions
google's
community
benefit
payment,
presents
a
significant
opportunity
of
our
city
to
direct
resources
to
high
need
areas
in
our
community.
I
B
B
B
When
I
grow
up,
I
want
to
become
a
criminal
defense
attorney
because
I
feel
like
I
would
be
fulfilled
to
have
a
job
like
that
and
luckily,
for
me,
sj
spires
helps
me,
earn
scholarships
and,
as
a
result
accomplish
this
goal
after
high
school.
I
have
plans
on
going
to
college,
and
my
family
didn't
get
to
go
to
college
and
sj
expires
is
really
helping.
Me
turn
my
dreams
into
realities.
B
A
I
C
M
M
So
in
the
light
of
that
great
work,
I
just
want
to
raise
a
concern
about
page.
Eight
of
your
memo
on
allocation
of
community
benefit.
Payment
from
google
is
basically
awarding
50
000
to
a
single
group
to
do
community
engagement
in
an
area,
and
I
just
I
think
that
strikes
me
as
strange.
I
think,
with
all
the
organizations
we
have
in
our
community
that
do
community
engagement.
M
I
think
a
more
open
process
would
be
better
and
I
think
we
need
to
continue,
as
so
many
council
members
do
to
champion
issues
of
equity
and
making
sure
that
a
wide,
diverse
range
of
voices
are
brought
into
the
process
and
the
way
the
memo
reads.
It's
just
a
little
hazy
on
how
that's
going
to
happen,
and
so
I
would
ask
if
council
members
would
consider
re-looking
at
this
aspect
of
the
memo
and
thinking
about
how
to
create
a
process,
that's
as
inclusive
and
as
focused
on
the
outcomes
as
your
as
you
care
about.
S
S
This
has
been
long
hard
and
a
lot
emotional
mayor
vice
mayor,
google
and
city
clerk
and
everybody
else
thanks
very
much
for
doing
this,
make
sure
there's
accountability
for
the
money
that
google
is
giving
so
that
as
many
people
in
as
many
diverse
areas
can
be
helped
and
there's
a
lot
of
need,
but
there's
also
a
lot
of
hope.
Thank
you
ma'am.
I
yield
my
time.

aspires.
This
program
has
been
able
to
help
me
increase
and
keep
track
of
my
volunteer
hours
and
gain
experience
when
I
grow
up.
I
want
to
become
a
biomedical
engineer,
because
I
want
to
help
others
with
medical
innovations
and
sj
aspire.
Helps
me,
earn
the
scholarships
to
accomplish
my
goals
and
after
high
school.
I
want
to
go
to
a
four
year
university
to
study.

Hello,
can
you
hear
me
yes
good
evening?
My
name
is
wesley
gomez.
I
am
a
student
at
san
jose
high
school.
I
am
a
student
in
the
program.
Sj
aspires
overall.
This
program
has
taught
me
how
to
connect
with
outside
resources.
Like
my
mentors
that
guide
me
with
scholarships,
internships
and
academic
organization,
I
could
continue
to
independentize
myself
through
achieving
the
awards
pursuing
that
potential
scholarship.
When
I
graduate
next
year
as
I
grow
older,
I
realized
I
want
to
attend
the
university
of
washington
and
become
a
clinical
psychologist
for
youth.
C
Like
me,
as
it
was
helpful
for
me
to
have
these
services
as
a
child
as
well.
Sjsprice
helps
me
earn
scholarship
money
to
accomplish
my
goals.
My
parents
do
not
go
to
college,
but
my
extended
family
in
mexico
is
pursuing
higher
education,
so
they
require
me
to
do
the
same
here
in
the
us
and
continue
for
myself
and
my
personal
goals
and
my
academic
career.
I
strive
to
be
independent,
as
the
scholarship
through
sds
buyers
will
help
me
pay
for
college,
whether
it
be
for
books,
materials,
a
new
laptop
or
my
savings.
C
This
scholarship
money
will
not
go
to
waste,
as
I
plan
on
using
it
wisely
and
effectively
for
my
journey
at
college.
Without
a
scholarship
or
any
financial
support,
it
would
be
difficult
to
pursue
my
college
dreams.
Thank
you,
mayor
licardo,
for
launching
sj
aspires
and
to
the
city
council
for
supporting
supporting
my
goals.
I
truly
do
appreciate
it
and
thank
you
so
much
for
your
time.
C
Yeah,
I
hope
that
this
money
gets
allocated
correctly
and
doesn't
turn
into
a
boondoggle.
Like
many
things
do
it
sounds
as
if
a
lot
of
kids
are
benefiting
and
that's
incredible
that
this
is
able
to
happen,
because
it's
very
hard
to
do
also
hoping
that
this
new
google
village
will
put
a
shine
on
san
jose,
because,
if
you've
been
down
there,
lately
man,
it
doesn't
look
very
good,
especially
around
city
hall,
really
depressing.
C
Hopefully
this
is
going
to
kind
of
interject
development
and
things
that
are
going
to
be
positive
and
so
far
google's
holding
up
their
obligation
of
giving
money
to
community,
which
is
great,
but
I
just
I
just
hope
that
the
city
of
san
jose
doesn't
screw
it
up
because
they
typically
do.
I
mean
the
city
leaders
and
we
have
what
half
a
billion
dollars
police
force.
You
feel
like
you're,
getting
your
money's
worth
like.
I
said.
I
just
hope
that
this
money
keeps
going
to
the
kids
and
whoever
needs
it
for
educational
purposes
or
infrastructure.
C
D
All
right,
we
have
our
voters,
don't
screw
it
up
thanks
again
everybody
for
your
hard
work
and
and
getting
us
this
place.
And,
of
course
thank
you
to
google
for
your
commitment
to
the
community.
Let's
go
to
the
council.
I
also
want
to,
by
the
way
thank
some
students
who
called
in
because
I
know
it's
a
school
night
and
noelia
jorge
sophia
and
their
principal
vito
really
appreciate
them
speaking
up
for
for
a
program
that,
hopefully,
is
helping
a
lot
of
their
their
classmates
as
well.

I
think
it's
really
important
that
we
remember
what's
going
on
in
our
world
now,
and
I
was
really
proud
of
all
of
you.
This
was
a
very
good
meeting.
Thank
you,
but
you
know
it
we're
on
the
precipice
again,
I
was
two
or
three.
You
know
when
my
dad
got
called
up
again
because
of
the
missiles
of
october
and
there's
a
fake.

Out
aks
in
the
ukraine:
that's
what
happens.
You
have
gun
control
man,
you
don't
have
any
any
defense
gotta,
you
know
all
of
a
sudden.
You
gotta
start
handing
out
machine
guns,
but
not
you
guys.
You
guys
to
take
everything
away.
Gonna
give
it
back
to
us
if
something
bad
really
happens,
we'll
see
what
happens,
but
nice
you're
supporting
a
catholic
country
concerning
is
probably
the
most
anti-catholic
city
council,
I've
ever
seen,
but
matt.
Actually,
no,
that
would
be
the
ugliest
woman
in

B
Hi,
thank
you,
claire
b
quinn
here,
thanks
for
the
meeting
today,
thanks
for
the
words
of
brian
darby,
I
agree
with
what
he's
saying
a
lot
you
know
it
came.
It
struck
me
that
you
know
it's
my
hope
that
boy
that
we
can
really
try
to
negotiate
a
peace
in
that
area
and
that
russia
can
want
to
move
back
to
the
eastern
parts
of
ukraine
to
the
separatist
regions.
B
So
thank
you
for
that.
Thank
you
for
brian
darby's
words,
good
luck
to
all
of
us
how
we
can
work
towards
peace
in
our
future
and
with

seconds.
There
seems
to
be
a
bit
of
a
habit
going
on
in
san
jose
city
government.
At
this
time.
I
think
through
january.
You
know
people
have
been
strongly
stating
their
positions
about
things
and,
I
hope
come
march.
B
B
Urban
villages
and
the
idea
of
fast
tracking,
I
don't
think,
that's
quite
the
right
approach.
You
have
somewhat
of
a
free
pass
at
this
time,
but
I
don't
think
it
should
be
to
continuously
pound
the
idea
of
fast
tracking.
It
could
be
a
slow
process
and
a
thoughtful
process.
Thank
you
back
to
council.
