Thank
you
mayor
for
the
last
council
meeting
of
September
I'm
honored
to
introduce
members
of
our
secret
wara
of
San.
Jose
Sikhism
originates
from
the
Punjab
region
of
India
and
was
founded
by
Guru
nanek
in
the
15th
century.
The
Sikh
Community
has
stood
strong
in
their
belief
to
be
tolerant,
compassionate
humble
and
to
treat
everyone
as
equals.
Sikhism
follows
the
teachings
of
ten
gurus
who
have
provided
Divine
guidance
and
a
way
of
life
that
teaches
one
to
think
Beyond
oneself
Sikhism
practices,
the
idea
that
service
to
mankind
is
service
to
God.
E
Over
the
years,
the
gurdoir
has
been
a
beacon
of
Pride
for
my
district
and
the
largest
Gurdwara
outside
of
India
and
and
I
was
happy
to
visit
this
weekend
attending
the
annual
nagar
kirtan
and
spending
time
with
our
c
community,
with
that,
I
am
honored
to
introduce
Sikh
leader
Sergey
Baines,
to
introduce
Kamal
cower.
Who
will
be
leading
us
today
in
the
invocation
instead
of
priests
by
who,
unfortunately
came
down?
Sick
Kamal
will
lead
us
with
hymns
from
the
holy
book
of
Sikhism,
the
guru
Grant
sahib
with
that
take
it
away
Sergey.
F
G
It
is
an
honor
as
a
seek
American
to
share
a
prayer
from
my
faith,
tradition,
Sikhism,
it's
the
fifth
largest
religion
in
the
world,
thus
is
a
seek
prayer
appealing
to
the
one
God
for
protection
and
guidance,
a
reminder
to
uphold
the
Sikh
and
American
values
of
humility,
truth,
courage,
service,
Justice
for
All
and
gratitude
for
all
the
creator
has
given
to
us.
Ardas
is
said
before
and
after
performing
any
relevant
task
is
said,
while
standing
still
covering
your
head
and
holding
your
hands.
G
If
you
can
that'd
be
great,
if
not
it's
fine
as
well,
there
is
one
God
and
victory
is
his
be
helpful.
The
heroic
poem
of
Sri
bhagatiji,
the
tenth
King
in
the
beginning,
I,
remember
Bugatti
the
Lord
and
then
I,
remember
Guru
nanak,
then
I
remember
Guru,
angad,
Guru,
amardas
and
Guru
ramdas.
May
they
be
helpful
to
me
then
I,
remember
Guru,
Arjun,
Guru,
har,
Gobind
and
Guru
Rai
I.
Remember
Guru
SRI,
her
Krishan.
By
whose
side
all
the
sufferings
vanish
then
I
do
remember.
G
Gurudev
bahadur
through
whose
Grace
the
nine
Treasures
come
running
into
my
house.
May
they
be
helpful
to
me
everywhere:
10th
King,
Robert,
Guru,
Gobind
Singh
may
be
help
us
everywhere.
The
spirit
of
all
the
Ten
Kings
enshrined
in
the
visible
body
and
the
word
of
Guru
granth,
concentrate
on
that
and
say
congrat
congregations.
G
You
are
the
owner
of
the
meek,
power
of
the
helpless
and
shelter
of
the
shelter
less.
We
humbly
make
prayer
in
your
presence
to
bless
the
mayor
and
the
city
council
to
help
them
make
the
right
decision
and
uphold
values
of
unity
and
service
through
Guru
nanak.
May
your
name
be
exalted
and
may
all
mankind
Prosper
according
to
your
will,
not.
B
H
Good
afternoon
I'm
council
member
Pam
Foley
today
I'm
here
to
Proclaim
September
as
Suicide
Prevention
Awareness
Month
in
the
city
of
San
Jose,
while
the
need
for
addressing
suicide
prevention
is
important.
Year-Round
this
month
provides
a
dedicated
time
for
people,
organizations
and
committees
to
join
their
voices
to
broadcast
the
message
that
suicide
can
be
prevented.
H
Suicidal
Thoughts
can
affect
anyone,
regardless
of
age,
with
suicide
being
the
second
leading
cause
of
death
for
individuals
between
the
ages
of
10
to
34,
with
more
than
48
000
people
dying
by
Suicide
annually.
In
the
U.S
alone,
I've
asked
my
fellow
council
members
to
join
me
in
this
Proclamation
as
suicide
touches
all
of
us.
H
It
may
be
difficult
to
know
exactly
how
someone
is
experiencing
the
depths
of
depression,
but
each
of
us
has
a
critical
role
to
play
in
reaching
out
to
our
loved
ones,
saving
lives
and
creating
healthy
and
strong
individuals,
families
and
communities
as
individuals,
knowing
how
to
reach
out
in
crisis,
gives
everyone
the
power
to
make
a
difference
in
July
2022.
The
suicide
and
crisis
Lifeline
became
nationally
available
by
calling
or
texting
988
to
connect
with
local
crisis
counselors,
for
both
those
experience
a
crisis
themselves
and
for
those
who
are
concerned
about
someone.
I
Yeah,
this
is
lovely
wow.
Thank
you
to
council
member
Foley
for
doing
this
proclamation
in
the
mayor
and
all
the
city
council
members
here
in
San.
Jose
suicide
was
not
a
subject
that
I
thought
much
about
or
talked
much
about
prior
to
November
19th
2018,
when
my
husband
of
25
years
died
by
Suicide
five
years
later.
It's
still
hard
to
talk
about.
I
I
So
please
go
out
there
and
be
kind,
be
kind
to
each
other
check
in
with
your
loved
ones
and
make
sure
that
you
are
leading
by
example
to
make
sure
that
our
community
can
Thrive
and
get
the
help
that
they
need
when
they
need
it
and
make
sure
it's
okay,
if
you're,
not
okay.
So,
thank
you
all
very
much
for
listening.
B
Okay,
our
second
ceremonial
item
here
comes
the
along
with
council
member
Davis
councilmember
Torres.
We
want
to
recognize.
September
is
gynecological
Cancer,
Awareness
Month
and
bring
awareness
to
this.
These
types
of
cancers
because
being
aware
being
prepared,
can
save
a
life
finding
educational
resources
going
to
the
doctor
being
assessed.
Knowing
the
signs
of
these
cancers
can
make
the
difference
between
life
and
death
before
councilman
Davis
shares
some
more
context
on
ovarian
cancer.
I
wanted
to
just
take
a
moment
to
recognize
someone
special,
a
member
of
the
family.
B
Many
of
you
probably
know
Dee
is
a
community
leader
in
San
Jose,
a
former
member
of
council
member
Raul,
perales's
team,
The,
District,
3
redistricting,
commissioner,
and
current
board,
president
of
Silicon
Valley
Crime,
Stoppers
Dee
is
also
valiantly
fighting
against
cancer
and
Dee
I
just
wanted
to
take.
We
wanted
to
take
a
moment
specifically
to
thank
you
for
the
work
you've
done
in
our
communities
serving
others.
We
have
a
commendation
on
behalf
of
the
council
in
the
city,
thanking
you
for
all
the
work
you've
done
over
the
years.
B
In
many
different
capacities
here
in
our
community,
but
we
also
want
you
to
know
that
we
are
here
to
support
you.
We
have
your
back,
we
know
we
don't
know
directly,
but
we
we
can.
We
know
how
hard
it
must
be,
and
we
just
want
you
to
know
that
your
entire
city
team
here
has
your
back
we're
thinking
about
you,
we're
praying
for
you
and,
if
you'd
like
to
share
a
few
words,
we
just
wanted
to
give
you
an
opportunity
to
maybe
reflect
a
little
here
for
the
audience
and
then
give
you
a
commendation.
J
Good
afternoon
everybody,
my
name
is
Dee
Bergen
and
I
want
to
thank
the
mayor
and
city
council
for
recognizing
such
an
important
event,
really
not
an
event.
It's
a
subject
here.
A
year
ago
my
life
changed
and
still
fresh,
so
my
life
changed
I
got
diagnosed
with
a
stage
four
uterine
cancer
at
the
age
of
42.
J
and
a
very
scary
experience,
uncertainty,
a
lot
of
fear,
but
you
got
to
stay
strong.
One
thing
I've
learned
is
to
be
your
own
Advocate
you're,
going
to
have
to.
If
you
feel
something
is
wrong
with
your
body,
don't
hesitate,
you
got
to
go,
get
it
checked
right
now,
I
feel
that
women's
reproductive
health
is
severely
underserved.
J
B
A
B
B
K
Thank
you
mayor.
It's
important
that
the
women
City
are
aware
of
the
many
gynecological
cancers
symptoms
and
who
they
can
turn
to
for
help
and
prevention.
Today
we
have
shea
gerlinger
from
the
ovarian
cancer
research,
Alliance
and
Sarah
Hawkins
from
the
teal
Foundation
joining
us
also
to
Proclaim
September
as
ovarian
cancer
awareness
month,
ovarian
cancer
occurs
when
cells
in
the
ovary
grow
and
divide
uncontrollably.
These
cells
may
form
a
tuber
tumor
on
the
ovary,
or
they
can
break
off
from
the
main
tumor
and
spread
to
other
parts
of
the
body.
K
Some
risk
factors
for
women
are
a
family
history
of
ovarian
cancer
age.
Women
over
50
are
at
higher
risk
obesity
and
women
who
have
never
had
children
biologically
a
few
symptoms.
Women
and
families
should
be
aware
of
are
abdominal
bloating,
pelvic
or
abdominal
pain,
feeling
full
quickly
after
eating
an
upset,
stomach
and
frequent
urination.
K
This
is
one
of
the
more
silent
cancers,
so
please
do
not
ignore
those
symptoms
and,
as
dee
said
call
your
doctor.
If
you
feel
like
anything,
is
wrong.
It
is
really
important
to
go.
Get
checked
out.
Research
is
being
done
to
determine
how
we
can
better,
detect
and
screen
for
ovarian
cancer
as
early
as
possible,
and
that's
thanks
to
the
ovarian
cancer
research
Alliance
with
their
dedication.
We
can
help
more
women
get
connected
to
the
best
care,
chemotherapy,
treatment
and
support
groups.
K
K
L
Hello,
everyone,
my
name,
is
Shea
gerlinger
and
about
five
years
ago
I
was
35
and
felt
something
in
my
stomach
and
being
an
advocate
for
myself,
went
to
the
doctor
and
was
devastated
to
be
diagnosed
with
ovarian
cancer.
Having
no
idea
what
the
signs
and
symptoms
or
risk
factors
were,
and
unfortunately,
I
had
to
advocate
for
myself,
because
the
treatment
that
they
provided
did
not
work,
and
they
told
me
that
we
have
no
more
options
for
you
and
so
I
had
to
travel
the
country
to
meet
with
Specialists
to
find
out.
L
Because
I
had
to
fight
cancer
does
not
discriminate.
I
am
a
force
of
nature.
I
know
what
to
do.
I
work
in
healthcare
and
I
know
how
to
fight
for
myself,
but
there
are
women
in
this
community
who
do
not
have
access,
who
do
not
have
the
ability
to
travel
the
country
and
have
their
needs
met
by
forcing
their
way
in,
and
so
we
need
to
do
more
than
just
ask
women
to
Advocate
on
their
behalf.
We
need
to
create
systems
that
ensure
women
have
access
to
care
and
the
support
that
they
need.
M
M
Unfortunately,
for
my
mom,
like
so
many
women,
it
was
caught
too
late
and
she
passed
away
shortly
after
the
birth
of
my
first
daughter,
but
before
she
passed
away,
she
started
the
teal
foundation
in
the
hope
that
she
could
leave
behind
a
legacy
to
help
change
things
for
other
women
and
Families
and
I'm
proud
to
carry
her
voice
forward.
Here
today
we
are
now
holding
our
Ninth
Annual
fundraiser
at
the
teal
run,
which
is
so
much
more
than
a
run.
M
It's
an
incredible
event
where
the
entire
Community
is
invited
to
participate
and
rally
behind
incredible
women
like
these
two
and
to
honor
women
who
have
passed
away
like
my
mom,
and
it's
also
a
day
of
hope,
hope
that
one
day
we
will
find
a
cure
and,
in
the
meantime,
do
everything
in
our
power
to
change
things
so
I
invite
all
of
you
to
come
on
Sunday
and
help
us
make
change
happen.
Thank
you.
So
much.
M
B
F
B
O
Thank
you,
mayor
I'd,
like
to
pull
2.15
great.
B
B
O
With
the
the
end
of
abierdo
fun,
the
newly
restricted
via
Calle
and
Via
Park
just
increased
the
compensation
I'm
not
sure,
is
it
necessary
additionally
ensuring
that
607
thousand
dollars?
Is
there
enough
money
left
over
for
Via
Calle
for
three
via
Kaye
and
100
via
Parks
events
and
so
I?
Have
you
know
if
I
feel
like
that,
the
council
have
been
bamboozled
last
week
regarding
this
and
I
just
like
to
make
my
voice
heard
to
the
council.
B
Okay,
is
there
a
question?
Are
you
asking
for
more
context
on
this
item?
Did
you
want
maybe
John
ciccarelli
to
share
a
little
more
context,
sure.
Q
Thank
you
mayor.
Thank
you,
council,
member
John,
cisarelli,
director
of
parks,
recreation,
neighborhood
services,
so
this
contract
would
not
change
whether
we
had
done
the
reduction
a
couple
weeks
ago
or
not
and
I
don't
want
you
to
look
at
it
like
we're
handing
this
company
300
000
extra,
we're
not
think
of
it
like
a
line
of
credit
and
as
we
do
events
and
we
need
support,
we
tap
that
line
of
credit
pay
the
vendor
to
do
it.
So
we
could
spend
five
thousand
dollars
of
that
300
or
all
three
hundred
of
it.
Q
Depending
on
how
much
support
we
need
for
all
the
events,
because
there's
still
75
Viva
Park
events
plus
another
25
Eva
Park
events
that
were
ordered
that
were
given
to
individual
council
districts,
so
there's
still
100
view
of
a
Park
events.
There's
still
going
to
be
three
of
Akai
events.
The
only
difference
is
the
third
vivokai
event
we
have
to
fundraise
for
all
the
extras.
O
With
that
extra
money
be
enough
to
for
three
via
Kaye
and
obviously
the
100
Viva
Parks
service.
Oh.
B
R
Yeah,
thank
you.
Mr
Mayor
I
was
actually
going
to
pull
this
item
because
I'm
actually
I'm
actually
going
to
recuse
myself,
because
I
got
a
campaign
donation
from
from
from
from
philco.
However
I
just
I
want
to.
Let
folks
know
that
Phil
and
his
company
do
a
lot
of
great
work
in
Downtown,
San
Jose
with
so
many
council.
B
S
B
Okay
appreciate
it,
though,
in
order
for
a
recusal
to
see
it's
just,
not,
voters,
you
need
to
step
into
the
Green
Room,
probably
best.
Sorry,
council,.
P
B
B
P
U
Yeah,
thank
you
for
that
mayor,
Mayhem,
for
that
correction,
that
you
do
not.
You
do
not
recuse
yourself
and
then
make
a
comment.
So
I
want
to
extend
my
gratitude
for
checking
him
on
that.
Secondly,
is
that
these
events
is
a
is
a
racial
Equity
issue,
because
we
don't
have
money
to
go
out
to
like
these
special
events
that
you
have
downtown,
we
don't
we
don't
have
10
or
15
bucks
to
just
you
know,
throw
and
then
another
40.
You
know
to
go
out
to
eat
afterwards.
U
We
don't
have
that
kind
of
money,
we're
living
on
EBT
and
food
banks,
that's
what
we're
living
on.
So
we
need
absolutely
as
a
as
a
critical
part
of
government
using
the
racial
Equity
office,
which
has
been
impotent
and
Silent
on
these
particular
issues.
We
need
that
we
need.
We
need
people
outside.
We
need
people
exercising
so
I
want
to
thank
councilman
dwan
for
for
his
advocacy
in
promoting
promoting
the
David
cayas,
but
I
would
like
it
contextualized
within
the
racial
Equity
framework,
I
mean
I.
Think
we
forgot
about
that.
U
This
is
a
racial
Equity
policy
was
to
be
instituted
as
a
regular
working
component
of
government.
In
how
budget
allocations
were
determined
now,
I
can't
think
of
any
better
any
bitter
than
vivacaya,
because
it
gets
people
outside
it
gets
people
healthy.
They
get
more
and
more
introduced
to
their
communities
and
their
their
their
we're
all
healthier
as
a
city
because
of
it.
U
P
U
Yes,
Paul
Simpson
from
the
Horseshoe
now
I
asked
politely
for
a
breakdown
and
a
worksheet
whatever
you
want
to
call
it
a
receipt
of
where
my
money
is
going,
because
this
is
my
money.
What
books
are
you
buying?
That's
what
I
want
to
know.
I
want
to
know
specifically
the
breakdown
by
genre.
U
U
How
much
of
that
allocation
is
going
specifically
to
those
not
Hispanic
History,
not
latinx
history,
but
Chicano,
Farm,
worker
and
lowrider
moving
history
I
want
to
know
this
is
this
is
important,
because
these
are
the
books
that
are
stalking
the
shelves
of
these
public
libraries.
So
that
means
that
the
public,
you
can
only
be
informed
and
you
can
only
educate
yourself
based
on
what
is
stocked
in
those
shelves,
and
the
library
has
just
barely
gotten.
No
point
just
bear
gotten
to
a
point
where
it
moved
away
from
calling
from
calling
Mexicans
illegal
aliens.
U
You
know
I
mean
just
barely
you
know
so.
They're
kind
of
behind
the
curve
so
I
want
to
know,
because
they
have
this
philosophy
now
of
really
honoring
and
respecting
the
the
Mexicanos
and
the
Chicanos
that
literally
built
this
city
I
want
to
know
how
much
of
that
money
is
being
invested
in
the
library
and
the
books,
so
that
I
know
that
my
community
has
access
to
that
material
and
has
access
to
that
knowledge.
This
is
these
are
legitimate
questions
to
ask
with
public
money.
That's
being
spent
and
I
want
the
answer.
V
Hi
would
would
it
be
appropriate
to
make
a
comment
on
2.7,
yes,
okay,
cool
good
afternoon,
council
members
and
mayor.
My
name
is
Melissa
tarek
and
I'm
with
the
San
Francisco
Bay
Area
Office
of
the
Council
on
American,
Islamic
relations
or
care,
and
we
are
supportive
of
the
settlement
reached
in
the
Discrimination
lawsuit
brought
forth
by
inabo
Haider,
a
former
San
Jose
police
officer.
V
We
stand
in
solidar
solidarity
with
Mr
hither
and
commend
his
courage
in
speaking
out
against
the
Injustice,
as
he
faced
his
case
serves
as
a
critical
critical
reminder
that
discriminary
discriminatory
practices,
regardless
of
the
context,
cannot
be
tolerated
and
those
responsible
must
be
held
accountable.
The
allegations
made
by
him
include
anti-muslim
remarks
and
insults
and
are
deeply
troubling
discrimination
targeting
and
individuals,
race,
religion,
our
national
origin
is
abhorrent
and
should
never
be
found
in
a
law
enforcement
agency
or
any
public
agencies.
For
that
matter.
V
It
is
concerning
that
the
city
in
the
San
Jose
police
department
attempted
to
trivialize
his
claims
by
suggesting
that
he
was
a
willing
participant
in
the
discussions
that
included
these
offensive
remarks.
Such
such
tactics
only
served
to
underscore
the
urgent
need
for
accountability
and
reform
within
the
department.
It
is
incumbent
upon
law
enforcement
agencies
to
Foster,
inclusive
and
respectful
work
and
environments
free
from
discrimination
and
bias.
V
We
hope
this
settlement
will
lead
to
a
re-evaluation
policies,
procedures
and
attitudes
within
the
San
Jose
police
department
and
begin
to
Foster,
an
environment
that
respects
the
dignity
and
rights
of
all
officers,
regardless
of
their
background.
The
community
expects
and
deserves
a
police
force
that
upholds
the
highest
standards,
professionalism,
ethics
and
fairness,
and
we
urge,
with
the
San
Jose
police
department,
to
use
the
settlement
as
an
opportunity
for
Meaningful
reform
and
as
a
foundation
for
rebuilding
trust
with
the
community
that
it
serves.
Thank
you
so
much.
H
B
U
W
Horowitz
and
I'm
here
with
police
and
fire
trustee,
Andrew
Carnia.
X
We
want
to
thank
you
for
Mr
Mayor
city
council
members
for
having
us
here
today.
We
are
here
to
come
before
you
to
ask
for
with
recommendations
of
salary
adjustments
to
our
salary
ranges.
This
is
a
process
that
we
do
every
four
to
five
years
and
we
kick
this
process
off
about
about
a
year
ago
today,
September
August
September
of
22.
X
when
we
started
this
process.
The
way
we
go
about
doing
this
is
first,
we
go
back
to
measure
G,
because
measure
G
outlines
the
responsibilities
for
the
Retirement
Board
on
how
we
address
salaries
for
four
different
positions:
that's
their
CEO
chief
executive
officer,
our
CIO
Chief
investment
officer
and
our
professional
staff,
and
there's
two
different
classifications
under
our
investment
staff.
That's
our
senior
investment
officers
and
investment
officers.
X
So,
as
we
go
back
and
we
look
at
measure,
DG
I
sort
of
break
it
down
to
three
three
different
bullet
points
on
how
to
look
at
it.
The
first
responsibility
is
okay,
establishing
a
comparable
measure,
G
specifically
states
that
the
board
shall
consider
a
compensation
of
equivalent
positions
in
comparable,
United,
States
public
pension
plans
and
based
off
of
that
information
alone
is
the
only
thing
we
could
use
when
we
come
come
forward
with
recommendations
for
these
classifications.
X
The
second,
the
second
responsibility
or
bullet
point
that
we
jump
to
is
once
we
have
the
recommendation
or
the
established
comparables
is
then
the
board
comes
together
and
we
decide
on
ranges
for
each
classification.
Okay,
once
we
establish
that
the
board
approves
both
Federated
and
police
and
fire
will
approve
those
ranges
and
that
and
then
we
come.
The
third
stage
is
to
come
before
council
with
those
recommendations.
X
X
So
the
purpose
why
the
reason
we
do
this
is
every
four
or
five
years.
We
want
to
make
sure
that
we
are
competitive
in
the
market
and
so
the
way
we
do.
That
is
the
well
actually.
Let
me
back
up
the
last
time
we
did,
that
was
in
2018
for
the
CEO
senior
investment
officer
and
investment
officer
in
2016
the
year
prior.
We
did
it
for
the
investment
officer,
so
it's
been
about
five
years
since,
since
we've
done
we've
done
that
pull
in
that
study.
So
here
we
are
doing
it
all
over
again.
X
X
So
we
got
to
take
that
into
consideration
the
purpose
and
the
goal
behind
all
this
is
we
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
able
to
re,
attract
and
retain
top
talent,
okay
and
and
in
the
only
week
we
do
that
is
by
knowing
where
we
are
in
our
comparables.
We
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
competitive
in
the
Bay
Area
and
then
also
Statewide,
okay
over
the
last
five
years,
I
would
say
over
the
last
five
years.
X
When
I've
been
on
the
board
for
eight
years
now,
and
the
first
three
years,
I've
always
asked
the
question:
why
are
we
ranked
amongst
California
peers
in
the
bottom
of
portfolio
returns?
Okay-
and
it
was
until
probably
about
four
years
ago,
when
I
realized
it's
in
the
it's-
the
High,
Caliber,
talented
team
that
you
need
to
excel
in
this
area
and-
and
we
and
I
found
that
out
once
we
hired
a
new
CIO
and
and
recognizing
the
strength
that
we
have
within
within
our
investment
staff
and
professional
staff.
X
So
with
that
goal
in
mind
and
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
able
to
retain
and
attract
new
Talent,
we
started
this
process.
The
process
that
we
began
began
with
is
we
hired
an
outside
HR
consultant,
which
we
use
Kaufman
Associates
coffin
Associates
is
one
of
is
the
same
HR
vendor
that
we
used
five
years
ago
and
from
my
understanding,
the
city,
the
coffee
Associates,
on
the
short
list
for
the
city
when
they
do
similar
studies.
X
Coffin
Associates
came
back
to
us
in
October
with
comparables.
We
have
about
seven
comparables.
Those
comparables
are
Alameda:
County,
Contra,
Costa,
County,
Employees,
Retirement,
Association,
LA,
Los,
Angeles
city
employees,
retaliate
or
retirement
associations,
Orange
County,
San,
Bernardino,
San,
Francisco
and
San
Mateo.
These
seven
comparables
are
these
were
all
used
in
the
last
study
that
was
done
in
2017-2018.
X
So
we're
coming
to
you
with
a
recommendation,
and
we
actually
asked
cough
Associates
to
come
to
us
a
little
bit
different
than
our
past.
We
asked
them
to
come
with
us
that
fit
with
a
50
tile,
a
60,
percentile,
75th
and
90th
percentile
salary
ranges
compared
to
our
comparables.
So
we
and
based
off
of
conversations
that
we've
had
with
our
JPC,
which
is
our
joint
Personnel
committee
and
both
boards.
We
came
with
the
recommendation
of
targeting
the
75th
percent
range.
O
X
So
I'm
going
to
come
to
this
slide,
this
Slide,
the
previous
one,
just
lays
out
the
recommendations,
but
this
slide
breaks
down
the
different
tiers
that
we
were
Alice
Alice,
mentioning
the
50th
percentile,
the
60th
and
75th,
and
if
we
look
at
the
left
column,
the
green
column,
it
shows
the
current
salary
ranges
for
each
of
these
four
positions.
As
of
last
week,
when
this
Council
approved
a
six
percent
increase
to
unit
99.,
all
these
positions
fall
under
unit
99..
X
So
these
all
have
been
adjusted
to
to
last
week's
percentage
increase
the
center
column.
The
blue
one
is
what
coffin
Associates
came
up
with.
This
is
actually
the
the
seven
comparables
broken
down
to
the
50th
60th
and
75th
percentile,
and
it
provides
the
low
end
of
the
range
from
monthly
and
yearly
to
the
top
and
top
and
end
of
the
range
for
monthly
and
yearly,
and
the
very
last
column
is
in
yellow
that
just
shows
you
the
difference
in
monthly
amount,
dollar
or
yearly
amount
and
percentage-wise.
X
W
W
So
this
is
a
tool
for
the
boards
to
attract
competent
management
and
incompetent
investment
staff
for
the
boards,
and
that
has
a
direct
relationship
with
the
returns
we
earn
currently
where
we
are,
above
our
assumed
rate
of
return
on
our
five-year
returns
for
both
boards,
and
we
want
to
be
able
to
maintain
that
record
why
the
75th
percentile
bear
in
mind.
This
is
a
study.
That's
done
once
every
five
years,
so
it's
a
moving
Target.
W
So
with
that,
I
will
leave
over
to
any
questions
that
the
council
and
the
mayor
may
have.
H
Great,
thank
you.
Thank
you
for
that
presentation.
I
am
the
liaison
Council
liaison
to
the
police
and
fire
Retirement
Board
and
council
member
Davis
is
the
liaison
to
the
Federated
board.
So
thank
you,
gentlemen.
For
being
here,
we
have
a
memo
that
council,
member
Davis
myself
and
the
mayor
have
submitted
these
boards,
as
has
been
presented,
are
requesting
an
increase
in
wages
for
various
retirement
positions.
H
But
this
is
a
city
department
and
this
analysis
affects
many
other
positions
and
we
want
to
be
a
fair
to
all
of
our
departments
and
all
of
our
employees.
So
the
purpose
of
our
men
memo
is
to
do
some
research
to
do
a
salary
analysis
on
several
positions
throughout
several
positions
within
the
city
in
relation
to
the
peer
groups
that
the
city
is
accustomed
to
working
with,
looking
at
a
median
pro
median
range
and
not
a
75
fifth
percentile
range
as
in
The
Proposal.
H
So
it's
not
I
I,
raise
that
and
and
I
make
that
comment
not
to
diminish
the
work
that
is
happening
by
the
CIO
and
the
investment
advisors
at
the
retirement
boards.
They
are
doing
good
work,
but
it
is
about
the
relation
between
our
other
employees
and
how
we
are
compensating
everyone
appropriately.
K
We
do
want
to
ensure
that
the
office
of
Retirement
Services
is
consistent
with
the
all
the
other
City
departments,
and
so
that's
why
we're
asking
for
this
additional
time
and
for
City
staff
to
to
do
a
second
look,
so
that
so
that
we
can
remain
consistent,
and
that
was
really
the
purpose
of
of
our
memo.
So
I
hope
that
my
colleagues
will
support
that.
B
Great
thank
you.
Councilor
Davis
I
will
also
just
Echo
the
thanks
for
your
services.
Obviously
a
very
critical
role
for
ensuring
that
our
employees
are
taken
care
of
in
retirement
and
their
families,
so
appreciate
your
service
I
think
my
colleagues
did
a
good
job
of
summarizing.
Why
we
feel
we
need
a
little
more
time
for
analysis
and
then
we'll
we'll
come
back
as
expeditiously
as
possible
to
take
up
this
item.
I
know
it
is
important
for
being
able
to
hire
and
retain
top
talent
and
look
forward
to
that
conversation.
P

city's
operations.
We
monitor
progress
toward
implementing
recommendations
from
past
Audits
and
provide
regular
reports
on
the
status
of
those
recommendations,
and
this
report
provides
the
most
recent
status
update
of
open,
auto
recommendations.
Z
This
report
shows
a
progress
on
205
Auto
recommendations,
23
of
which
were
from
audits,
issued
or
accepted
by
the
city
council
between
January,
1st
and
June
30th
of
this
year.
Since
our
last
update,
40
audit
recommendations
were
implemented
or
closed
and
currently
another
126
have
been
partly
implemented
by
departments
for
context.
The
40
audit
recommendations
implement
or
closed
is
roughly
equal
to
the
average
that
we
see
in
our
usual
six-month
follow-up
work.
Z
Z
To
give
a
sense
of
the
breadth
of
the
work,
that's
been
done
to
implement
recommendations
in
the
past
six
months.
We
want
to
highlight
a
few
parks,
recreation,
Neighborhood,
Services
or
prns
finalized
procedures
and
collected
forms
to
ensure
its
Partners
comply
with
fingerprinting,
backgrounding
and
other
requirements
for
staff
who
work
with
or
interact
with
vulnerable
populations
in
the
neighborhood
center
partner
program.
That
was
from
our
audit
of
the
community
center
community
center
reuse
program
from
2018.
Z
That
was
from
our
audit
of
real
estate
services
from
2021
finance
department
and
the
Environmental
Services
Department,
updated
information
about
how
to
reach
your
bill
related
Municipal,
Water,
to
align
with
the
current
rate
structure
and
provide
additional
explanations
for
customers
that
was
from
our
Auto
municipal
water,
billing
customer
service,
from
2021
planning,
building
code
enforcement
or
pbce
created
new
procedures
to
provide
additional
guidance
for
staff
around
tree
removal
applications
and
to
verify
that
applicants
are
complying
with
tree
removal.
Permit
conditions
that's
from
our
audit
of
tree
removals
and
Replacements
from
last
year.
AA
Z
Z
There
are
165
recommendations
still
pending,
126
of
which
are
partly
implemented
with
remaining
38
39,
not
hit
implemented,
as
shown
here
in
our
online
dashboard.
We
classify
recommendations
by
intended
outcome.
Some
improve
Opera.
Some
are
intended
to
improve
operational
efficiency.
An
example
from
a
2022
audit
was
a
recommendations
to
improve
project
management
and
training
around
the
SQL
process
from
environmental
review
process.
Z
These
recommendations
also
include
business
process,
automation,
recommendations
for
multiple
different
audits.
In
some
cases,
the
intent
is
to
improve
transparency
and
accountability.
An
example
here
is
a
recommendation
from
our
2023
audit
of
the
San
Jose
Conservation
Corps
developed
performance,
metrics
related
to
timeliness
or
effectiveness
of
work
in
the
city's
next
agreement.
With
the
corps
for
the
beautiful
SJ
program,
other
recommendations
are
include:
improved,
Service
delivery.
An
example
of
this
type
of
recommendation
includes
several
from
the
tree.
Z
Z
B
Z
Underserved
areas
from
our
2022
Bill
of
Rights
for
children,
you
thought
it.
Others
in
this
area,
relate
to
language,
accessibility,
insert
in
City
materials
or
signage.
This
was
a
new
category
that
we
first
started
to
track
in
the
last
recommendation
status
report.
I
do
want
to
note
that
the
number
of
equity
related
recommendations
is
likely
under
counted.
Z
Has
some
in
the
improved
Service
delivery
category
may
have
components
that
could
have
Equity
related
impacts.
For
example,
the
tree
removal
and
replacement
lot
includes
a
recommendation
to
develop
an
Outreach
plan
with
the
community
Forest
advisory
committee,
which
could
include
an
equity
component
back
in
2018.
Z
So
this
recommendation
is
now
implemented:
improving
overtime
controls
in
the
police
department,
from
out
of
this
police,
Staffing
expenditures
and
workload
back
in
2021,
Police
Department
issued
a
memo
outlining
new
overtime
controls,
including
captains
and
division
managers,
reporting
on
overtime
and
on
a
quarterly
basis.
Department
plans
continue
to
review
its
overtime
policies
and
consideration
of
the
current
Staffing
levels,
as
well
as
develop
a
plan
considering
policy
changes,
clarification
of
discretionary
and
mandatory
over
time
and
other
options
to
address
overtime
costs,
and
they
are
also
reporting
they'll,
be
highlighting
a
new
time
card
system.
Z
It's
anticipated
to
better
track
and
automate
overtime
rules
or
track
time
and
overtime
automate
overtime
roles.
Do
you
want
to
note
that
in
fiscal
year,
2223
overtime,
expenditures,
totaled
roughly
58
million
dollars?
That
was
up
from
the
47
million
dollars?
We
saw
at
the
time
of
our
audit.
The
increase
has
primarily
been
driven
by
the
high
number
of
sworn
vacancies
and
the
need
to
backfill
these
positions
and,
lastly,
identifying
uses
and
developing
procedures
for
spending
in-lu
fees
for
tree
plantings.
Z
This
is
a
new
priority
added
according
to
the
Department
of
Transportation
or
dot.
Over
325
thousand
dollars
of
fees
were
spent
in
the
last
fiscal
year,
resulting
in
779
tree
plantings.
Additional
funds
have
been
obligated
while
they
continue
identify
planning
bases,
as
well
as
developing
criteria
for
the
future
use
of
fee
in-loof
fees.
Z
They've
engaged
a
consultant
Aid
monitoring,
Services
they've
been
granted
access
to
the
County's
hmis
data
system,
as
well
as
developing
a
schedule
for
ongoing
monitoring,
while
agreements
calling
this
one
implemented.
I
do
want
to
note
that
having
procedures
in
place
does
not
eliminate
risk
in
this
area,
it
just
makes
it
easier
to
identify
and
mitigate
risk.
As
it
comes
up,
clarifying
massage
program
roles
and
responsibilities.
Z
Lastly,
in
this
area
is
procuring,
a
software
solution
provides
sufficient
supervisory
staff
to
support
wage
compliance,
so
the
office
of
quality
assurance
and
Public
Works.
They
complete
an
RFP
process,
develop
an
online
data
system
to
support
wage
compliance
and
in
the
final
stages
of
executing
the
contract.
A
Z
Citywide
a
minister
of
guidelines
or
procedures
for
managing
federal
grants,
Finance
identified
three
permanent
positions
and
four
limit
dated
positions
to
work
on
grants
related
work.
However,
Finance
report
needed
divert
resources
to
other
work
priorities,
including
responding
to
the
Emergency
Operations
Center
activation
for
the
January
and
March
of
Storms
and
Recovery
activities
related
to
FEMA
declared
disasters.
Z
Lastly,
fully
documenting
coveted,
related
procurements
for
food
distribution
contracts.
This
is
another
new
priority
added
according
to
finance.
The
group
that
will
implement
the
prior
recommendation
is
also
tasked
with
this
work,
including
compiling
expenditure,
documentation
contracts,
purchase,
orders,
invoices.
What
have
you
and
supporting
the
city
through
grantor
audits?
They
also
plan
to
review
and
maintain
documentation,
wrapper
careman.
The
emergency
cost
recovery
files,
including
specific
justification
for
sole
source
and
non-competitive
contracts
and
amendments
and
other
information
required
to
document
compliance
with
Federal
requirements.
Z
More
information
about
all
open,
auto
recommendations
available
in
the
appendices
of
the
report,
as
well
as
on
our
online
in
our
online
interactive
dashboards.
We
can
find
on
our
website
with
that
I'd
like
to
thank
all
the
city
departments
for
their
efforts
to
implement
Auto
recommendations
and
further
assistance
in
compiling
the
report.
Compiling
the
report.
I'd
also
like
to
thank
my
staff
for
working
with
the
various
departments
to
document
and
verify
the
information
in
the
report
happy
to
answer
any
questions
and
then
ask
that
you
accept
the
report.
Thank
you.
B
U
U
My
concerns
are
around
equity,
it's
probably
one
of
the
lowest,
and
that
doesn't
mean
that
it's
the
highest
in
its
priority
or
that
it's
highest
in
its
meeting,
its
mark
I
saw
only
six
recommendations
for
equity
and
so
I
do
not
believe
that
this
city,
whose
policy
has
been
racist
from
its
very
beginnings,
has
only
six
issues
to
meet
its
Equity
objectives.
U
That's
ex
that
is
extremely
low,
and
especially
with
the
transparency
when
you
compare
the
amounts
of
policies
that
need
to
be
implemented
for
equity,
and
then
you
compare
that
with
the
transparency
you
can
see,
the
disparity
is
like
blinding
and
and
I
expect
of
my
elected
officials.
Every
single
one
of
you,
not
just
the
person
from
my
district,
but
I,
expect
from
every
single
one
of
you
to
start
demanding
that
transparency
be
a
more
critical
functional
part
of
government.
U
U
It
is
a
Greek
word
and
it
means
demos,
meaning
people
karate,
meaning
strengths,
the
strength
of
the
people,
power
of
the
people,
not
the
government's
ability
to
hide
and
to
lie
and
to
use
chicanery
in
duplicity
in
order
to
Institute
policy,
and
then
people
like
me
have
to
come
and
embarrassingly
challenge
my
government
on
it.
So
thanks
again,
Joe.
AB
All
right,
blue
Beekman
here,
thank
you
for
the
words
of
Paul
I
mean
that's
all
I.
Try
to
talk
about
here:
openness,
accountability,
transparency,
good
practices,
good
luck
on
those
efforts.
We
have
ways
to
to
make
things
easier
and
more
accessible.
Good
luck
on
those
efforts.
AB
Yeah
I
wanted
to
I
think
an
idea.
A
concept
was
mentioned
around
telecommunications
sites,
I
I
I'm,
trying
to
review
the
memo
and
I
can't
exactly
find.
You
know
you
have
a
lot
of
towing
services,
Police,
Services,
telecommissions
I'm,
trying
to
talk
with
your
staffs
at
the
government
staff
within
you
know
what
was
once
Civic
Innovation
around.
AB
You
know
the
future
of
you
know
5G
placement
and
and
Broadband
placement
and
the
purpose
of
that,
and
if
good
practices
are
being
followed
and
I've
got
some
fairly
good
reporting
coming
in
that
you're
practicing
a
notification
process
within
the
placement
of
broadband
when
it
wants
to
be
placed
in
local
neighborhood,
you're
doing
the
notification
process
as
well.
Thank
you.
There
needs
to
be
a
ways
that
it
can
be
accountable
and
an
open
and
clear
and
Good
Luck
in
those
in
those
efforts
to
do
that.
AB
We're
really
at
a
time
where
Community
can
ask
needs
to
ask
questions
about
placement
issues.
It
doesn't
have
to
be
an
automatic
issue,
it
has
to
be
questioned,
I'm,
sorry
to
say,
and
it's
learning
how
to
do
that.
It's
learning
this
is
part
of
the
process
of
me
asking
how
city
government
can
learn
to
ask
community
at
this
time
what
their
needs
are
and
what
exactly
they're
considering
about
issues
and
technology
that
is
the
purpose
of
Technology
future
is.
AB
Is
it
for
it
to
be
a
two-way
street,
and
so
good
luck
in
those
efforts
and
what
this
audit
report
can
help
work
towards.
Thank
you.
AC
Yeah
hi
Martha,
O'connell,
Ada
alert,
I,
don't
know
what
microphone
that
gentleman
was
using,
but
I
could
barely
hear
him.
I
tried
three
different
songs,
so
please
check
that
microphone
and
also
I'll
also
I'll
be
sending
an
email
to
Tony
about
getting
the
system
back
where
we
can
email
you
during
the
meeting
and
say
we
can't
hear
so,
and
so.
Thank
you
very
much
correct.
AD
Well,
this
is
Brett
bymaster
with
healing
Grove
Health
Center
I
want
to
make
public
comment
on,
particularly
on
the
community
reuse
report
from
September
of
2018.,
so
Community
Center
usage
is
a
really
big
deal
in
the
city
of
San
Jose.
The
Surgeon
General
recently
released
a
report
that
said
that
lack
of
social
connection
is.
AD
I
am
I,
am
on
audit
number
18-06.
Thank
you
go
ahead,
so
the
Surgeon
General
said
that
loneliness
is
as
dangerous
as
smoking.
15
cigarettes
a
day
and
youth
centers
are
really
right
at
the
heart
of
addressing
the
loneliness,
suicidal
mental
health
problem
that
we
have.
The
problem
is
that
many
of
our
uni,
our
community
centers,
are
deeply
underutilized.
The
Washington
Youth
Center
is
a
particularly
good
example.
AD
Data
from
2022
showed
that
it's
in
use
only
eight
hours
per
week,
a
17
000
square
foot,
Youth
Center,
that's
only
open
to
the
public
eight
hours
per
week,
and
a
lot
of
that
is
because
of
insufficient
monitoring
in
the
prns
system
that
was
brought
up
in
a
2010
audit
and
then
brought
up
again
in
the
2018
audit.
So
I
think
it's
particularly
important
that
we
focus
on
18-06
number
three,
that
that
suggests
that
there
should
be
more
careful
monitoring
of
utilization.
AD
AD
That
recommendation
said
that
there
should
be
established
minimum
standards
and
that
any
underutilized
satellite
centers
should
reach
out
to
other
providers
to
bridge
gaps.
Newland
Grove
would
like
to
provide
40
hours
of
programming
at
the
Washington
Youth
Center
to
bring
that
up
to
equity
with
other
youth
centers
in
wealthier
neighborhoods,
and
we
have
consistently
been
denied,
probably
a
dozen
times
over
the
past
two
years
by
brns
and
Catholic
Charities
the
operator
and
ultimately,
that
comes
down
to
Contracting
problems.
AD
H
Thank
you.
Thank
you,
Joe
for
that
presentation.
I
always
appreciate
getting
the
update
on
what
is
has
been
implemented
since
the
last
six
months
and
what
still
needs
to
be
implemented.
I
just
have
a
couple
of
questions,
and
the
first
one
relates
to
overtime
controls
at
the
police
department.
You
had
mentioned
that
they're
working
on
a
plan
to
reduce
overtime.
H
When
might
that
be
coming
forth
to
us
and
I'm,
assuming
it's
going
to
piss-fizz
first
or
where,
where
will
it
go
and
when,
when
can
we
expect
an
update
because
I
mean
it's
obviously
a
Manpower
people,
power
issue,
but
are
there
other
things
that
we
could
be
doing,
such
as
reassigning
some
of
the
positions
that
sworn
officers
are
using
are
doing
and
diverting
them
to
Community
Services
officers
as
an
example?
So
when
might
we
see
a
plan
in
more
detail
about
that.
Z
I
can
start
and
then
turn
over
the
police
department.
So
what
I
was
describing
was
internal
reporting
and
so
I
wasn't
describing
a
report
back
to
business.
I,
don't
know
if
there's
something
on
the
piece
of
his
work
plan
related
to
overtime
I.
Do
I
do
want
to
note
that,
on
our
propos
on
our
work
plan
that
was
accepted
by
Council
the
rules
committee
in
August,
we
do
have
a
follow-up
police
overtime,
follow-up
report
to
assess
controls
around
overtime
and
that
was
requested
by
the
administration,
seeing
that
there
was
a
spike
this
past
year.
Z
AA
Actually,
if
I
could
start
and
then
the
assistant
chief
can
correct
me,
we
do
have
a
internal
process
which
has
not
been
Council,
directed
that
Jennifer's
directed
that
the
police
department
is
doing
now.
AA
So
part
of
the
June
budget
message
was
analysis
around
all
the
911
call
data,
and
so
we've
started
that
the
other
part
other
about
the
the
controls
around
overtime
is
starting
to
analyze,
where
overtime
is
happening
in
the
department
in
a
much
more
thorough
way,
so
by
Department,
by
division
by
unit,
but
also
looking
for
the
the
outliers
of
why
that
is
occurring.
So
it's
not
that
we
continue
just
to
deliver
Services
over
what's
budgeted.
AA
H
H
And
so
are
you
all
right
that
the
point
is
there's
a
plan
coming
you're
at
you're,
watching
it
and
I
realize
we
are
a
thinly
staffed
police
department
and
there's
Sideshow
activity
and
a
lot
of
other
activity
that
uses
a
lot
of
manpower
to
make
our
streets
safe.
So
I
I
really
appreciate
all
of
that.
I'm
just
concerned
about
the
budgetary
impact,
particularly
as
we
go
forward
and
and
finding
a
solution,
because
we've
been
talking
about
over
time
for
as
long
as
I've
been
on
Council,
which
is
only
five
years,
but
still.
H
Z
H
Z
Top
12
that
we
kind
of
identified
as
a
priority.
Those
are
the
ones
that
that
do
catch
my
attention.
So
obviously
the
overtime
is
within
that
one
thing
that
I
want
to
say
flies
under
the
radar,
but
just
the
basics
that
we
we
have
in
in.
B
Z
Some
of
like
I,
said
those
Basics
that
are
always
number
two
or
number
three
on
someone's
priority
list
and
so
just
kind
of
keeping
that
stuff
on
people's
radar
because,
as
as
you
all
know,
we
have
turnover
in
the
organization.
We've
got
vacancies
and,
to
the
extent
that
we
can
standardize
work
the
and
make
it
easy
for
people
to
step
into
a
role
and
not
have
to
start
from
scratch
is,
is
really
important.
H
AE
You
thank
you
for
the
report,
just
just
a
quick
question.
So
on
on
page,
eight
of
the
audit
talks
about
20.8
million
in
potential
monetary
benefits
from
the
from
15,
open
recommendations,
and
the
question
I
have
I
guess
is
tied
to
to
the
fact
that
I
know
that
you
all
do
follow-up
with
different
departments
once
they
audits
are
prepared.
Once
recommendations
are
made
and
do
you
do
any
type
of
special
follow-up
as
it
relates
to
items
that
have
monetary
value
that
can
potentially
sort
of
come
from
resolving.
Z
A
Z
AF
A
Z
The
cost
of
something
is,
you
know
we
might
have
done
an
audit
a
few
years
back.
We
might
want
to
take
a
look
back
at
you
know.
What
are
the
current
spending
in
XYZ
or
something
like
that,
but
it
kind
of
goes
it's
kind
of
dependent
on
on
the
individual
recommendation
and
where
it's
sitting,
if
we
know
that,
there's
a
a
large,
a
large
body
work
around
it.
You
know
one
of.
AA
Z
In
there
is
relates
to
the
renegotiation
with
the
of
the
agreement
with
the
Valley
Water.
You
know
that's
one
piece
of
a
much
larger
puzzle,
so
we're
not
you
know
we're
just
kind
of
monitoring
that
one,
whereas
something
like
the
overtime,
we're
watching
a
little
bit
more
closely
and
we'll
run
those
records.
Oh
we'll
run
those
reports
every
six
months
to
find
out
what's
going
on,
so
it
kind
of
varies
depending
on
on
the
recommendation.
If
that
makes
sense,.
AE
AG
AE
Z
AH
Joe,
given
you
compliments
before
that,
you
have
produced
many
good
audit
reports
and
your
staff,
and
those
have
been
all
most
of
your
recommendations,
have
been
all
agreed
and
that's
a
sizable
comment
if
there
as
well
I
do
have
one
question
on
that.
Who
determines
that
this
recommendation
has
actually
been
implemented
completed?
Is
it
the
department?
Is
it
you
and
the
department?
How
is
that
determined.
Z
The
ultimate
decider
is
me
and
we
work
with
departments,
and
so
during
the
process,
I'll
just
kind
of
describe
the
process.
We
will
we'll
we'll
ask
for
an
update
on
any
recommendations
and
if
there's
movement,
if
there
have
developed
some
procedures,
We
Gather,
those
that
documentation
for
our
file
source,
so
for
anything
that
we
call
implemented
We
Gather
sufficient
documentation
for
us
to
make
that
determination
on
our
own
and
I
said
to
me.
But
it's
really
my
staff
and
working
together.
Z
AH
Okay,
because
some
of
these
things
take
time
to
implement,
so
you
go
back
to
them
and
check
that
your
people
who
wanted
more
than
doing
the
recommendation
they
actually
have
delivered
that
or,
as
you
described
before,
it
doesn't
have
to
be
exactly
the
same
tactic
way
of
doing
it.
But
the
problem
needs
to
have
been
addressed
right,
correct.
AG
N
Thank
you,
I
want
to
thank
you
and
your
team
for
your
good
work.
I
know
that
it's
it's
hard.
It's
it's
long
and
there's
a
lot
of
information
that
comes
towards
us.
I
I
just
wanted
to
get
a
a
better
understanding
of
some
of
the
information.
That's
here
in
the
report
and
the
example
that
a
caller
mentioned
in
terms
of
the
18-06
I
was
wondering
when
you're
looking
at
the
narrative
and
it
talks
about
departments
that
have
implemented
or
closed,
and
there
were
40
recommendations.
N
I
did
notice
that
it
mentioned
a
part
of
what
was
later
on
in
a
more
in
your
tables
as
to
there
were
kind
of
multiple
things.
If
you
look
at
your
graph,
your
graph
shows
that
the
majority
has
been
implemented,
but
there's
a
little
bit
left
to
that's
partially
implemented
so
I'm,
assuming
that
when
you
say
that
it
is
implemented,
it
is
for
the
portion
that
has
been
completed
as
opposed
to
the
little
bit
that
has
not
yet
been
completed.
Is
that
correct.
Z
If
that
is
correct,
so
specifically
the
the
ReUse
audit,
so
that
that
audit
had
19
separate
recommendations,
it
looks
like
about.
16
of
them
have
been
implemented
and
a
few
of
them
are
in
process
and
we've
we've
they've
done
enough
for
us
to
call
it
partly
implemented,
but
there's
still
work
to
be
done.
Great.
N
Great
so
that
when
I'm
reading
the
chart
and
there's
more
information
in
terms
of
exactly
what
it
was,
that
still
needs
to
be
sort
of
wrapped
up,
so
it
isn't
completely
closed
that
there
is
sort
of
the
the
follow-up
that
will
occur
for
that
little
piece.
Z
Correct
so
excellent,
so
in
any
audit
you
know
the
implementation
of
the
recommendations,
the
5,
the
10,
the
15,
to
20
recommendations.
They
don't.
AA
Z
Don't
all
happen
at
one
time
they
kind
of
happen
over
time,
and
so
then
we
just
you
know,
knock
the
Department's
not
come
off
as
they
as
they
as
they're
able
to
so.
This
only
has
the
open
recommendations
or
the
a
portion
of
the
recommendations
we've
made.
If
you
want
to
see
like,
for
example,
that
odd,
if
you
want
you
can
go
onto
our
dashboard,
you
can
see
the
one
of
the
dashboards
shows
the
results
of
all
those,
even
the
ones
that
may
not
be
in
this
report.
Yeah.
B
Great
thanks
vice
mayor
I,
don't
see
any
other
hands.
I
did
have
one
question
Joe
one
of
your
and
I
think
the
question
is
probably
for
assistant,
Chief
Joseph
and
our
Police
Department.
One
of
your
open
recommendations
that
has
a
potential
monetary
benefit
talks
about
assessing
how
we
use
community
service
officers
and
how
they're
deployed
and
I
think
that's
a
promising
area.
B
Just
a
quick
update
as
much
as
you
have
on
hand
about
how
we
are
in
terms
of
our
next
Academy
I
know:
we've
had
real
challenges.
We've
also
made
Investments
around
recruitment.
In
general,
we've
had
challenge
challenges
with
declining
applications.
I
know:
that's
been
a
trend.
Are
we
seeing
that
for
csos
I'd
love
to
hear
kind
of
when
the
next
Academy
is
how
we're
doing
in
terms
of
getting
applications
and
and
kind
of
what
the
Outlook
is
for
that
CSO
program
over
the
next
year?
Or
so?
Yes,.
S
Mayor,
thank
you.
So
we
are
currently
recruiting
for
the
six
additional
CSO
positions
to
be
deployed.
Downtown
I
believe
that
recruitment
either
just
closed
or
will
be
closing
shortly.
We
haven't
had
the
same
challenges
in
recruiting
csos.
Unfortunately,
as
we
have
had
recruiting
police
officers
and
you're
very
familiar
with
those
we're,
you
know
constantly
working
to
find
every
Avenue
we
can
to
find
Qualified
folks
who
want
to
be
police
officers,
but
in
the
meantime
we
will
use
csos
where
appropriate
and
where
the
contract
language
allows
us
to
do
so.
Okay,.
B
And
sorry,
I
didn't
get
a
chance
to
give
you
a
heads
up
that
I
was
curious,
but
we
can.
We
can
talk
more
offline
about
the
CSO
program.
Great,
thank
you
appreciate
it.
Okay,
I've
not
seen
any
other
hands.
Did
we
have
a
motion?
I
apologize
if
I
that
was
counselor,
Foley,
okay,
great,
that's,
right,
okay,
I
believe
we're
ready
to
vote.
B
Z
It's
a
good
afternoon,
Joe
Rice
I'm
here
with
Allison
Paulie,
Michael,
O'connell
and
Maria
from
my
office.
To
present
you,
our
audit,
Integrated
Waste,
Management
enforcement
program,
clarifying
goals
and
performance
expectations
would
improve
enforcement
coverage
also
in
the
Box,
are
Valerie
Osmond
and
Carrie
romanow
from
Environmental
Services
Department.
Z
The
objective
of
this
audit
was
to
evaluate
the
Integrated
Waste
Management
or
iwm's
enforcement
team
Service
delivery.
This
team
is
charged
with
enforcing
Solid
Waste
regulations
in
the
municode,
as
well
as
conducting
education
and
Outreach
around
state
and
local
Solid
Waste
regulations.
The
audit
was
requested
by
the
administration,
iwm
enforcement
team
enforces
municode
and
municipal
code
and
contractual
requirements
to
resolve
solid
waste
management
issues.
Z
Typical
cases
include
dangerous
accumulation,
improper
set
out
of
containers,
illegal
hauling
and
other
issues
in
2022,
the
team
handled
about
840
cases.
Overall,
the
largest
single
category
of
cases
was
related
to
dangerous
accumulation,
an
example
of
which
is
included
in
slide
as
described
in
finding
one.
They
also
conduct
Outreach
and
education
of
businesses
and
residents
around
solid
waste
regulations
as
part
of
their
process.
The
team
conducts
inspections
of
businesses
or
residents
primarily
based
on
complaints.
They
receive
from
the
public
the
city's
garbage
and
recycling
haulers
or
other
City
staff.
Z
They
conduct
initial
inspections
of
properties,
and
if
they
see
a
problem,
will
issue
a
warning
notice
to
the
business
or
property
owner
they'll
then
conduct
a
follow-up
inspection.
If
the
issue
has
not
been
resolved,
they
can
issue
adminator
of
citation
in
2022,
the
team
issued
429
warning
notices
and
41
administered
citations
based
on
the
840
cases
they
investigated.
Z
The
team
has
five
positions
overall,
four
inspectors
and
a
supervisor
first.
Finding
that
we
had
was
that
ESD
should
clarify
the
mission
and
workload
expectations
of
the
iwm
enforcement
team.
In
recent
years.
The
responsibilities
of
the
team
has
changed.
This
is
contributed
to
a
lower
workload
and
a
need
to
clarify
the
expectations
for
inspectors
activities.
Z
A
decline
in
public
complaints
coming
to
the
team
has
contributed.
Lower
workload
and
work
in
other
areas
has
declined,
including
shifting
enforcement
of
illegal
dumping
or
enforce
enforcement
available.
Dumping
to
planning
building
code
enforcement
I
want
to
note
that
the
the
work
of
cleaning
up
was
shifted
over
to
beautify
SJ
and
prns.
A
Z
Me
at
the
time
of
the
at
the
same
time,
new
responsibilities
such
as
Outreach
or
enforcement
related
new
legislation
or
existing
ordinances
have
been
added
to
the
team's
responsibilities.
I
want
to
note
that
in
the
first
half
of
2023,
each
inspector
was
conducting
about
2.3
inspections
per
day.
On
average,
though
this
is
an
improvement
from
2022
or
2021,
it's
still
below
expectations.
Current
procedure,
State
inspectors
should
complete
three
per
day
and
management
has
stated
that
the
goals
are
working
towards
is
four
per
day
this
finding.
Z
Second,
finding
was
that
proactive
cases
should
focus
on
expanding
covered
city-wide.
Although
the
enforcement
team's
workload
is
primarily
complaint
driven,
the
team
has
a
proactive
program
that
encourages
staff
to
identify
and
respond
to
dangerous
accumulation
or
other
Solid
Waste
violations
they
observe
in
the
field
we
found.
The
enforcement
team's
approach
for
proactive
cases
could
better
augment
the
current
complaint-driven
system
to
expand
coverage
of
solid
waste
enforcement.
City-Wide.
Z
Currently,
IW
inspectors
may
only
initiate
proactive
work
if
they
observe
a
solid
waste
violation
while
out
in
the
field.
For
another
reason
and
as
a
result,
proactive
cases
largely
follow
the
same
Geographic
Trends
as
Solid
Waste
complaints.
This
results
in
a
risk
of
underreported
issues
in
some
parts
of
the
city.
In
our
analysis,
we
noted
that
higher
priority
Solid
Waste
violations
appear
to
be
related
to
multi-family
or
commercial
properties.
Z
However,
in
some
parts
of
the
city
with
high
density
of
such
properties,
so
the
saw
a
few
proactive
cases
updated
procedures
around
the
team's
proactive
work
would
enable
the
team
to
better
reach
communities,
particularly
those
that
may
have
under
reported
violations
and
tailor
Outreach
materials
appropriately.
We
had
one
recommendation
to
update
procedures
around
proactive
inspections
and
Outreach
last.
Finding
was
that
streamlining
streamlining
administered
tasks
would
give
inspectors
more
time
in
the
field
administer
of
tasks
related
to
cases
such
as
data
entry
and
identifying
responsibilities
can
be
made
more
efficient
to
free
up
inspectors.
Z
Time
for
additional
inspections,
Outreach
regular
activities,
we
found
the
software
platform
the
team
has
used
is
have
stated
and
is
not
designed
for
their
needs,
making
data
entry
complicated
time
consuming
as
well.
Clarifying
expectations
for
inspectors.
Work
in
some
other
areas
would
also
maximize
time
spent
in
the
field,
and
we
have
two
recommendations
around
these
areas.
AG
Good
afternoon
Kerry
ramnow
director
environmental
services,
and
we
want
to
thank
the
auditor's
office
for
taking
the
time
to
share
some
new
best
practices
with
us,
and
we
certainly
learned
a
great
deal
during
this
process
and
as
you'll
see
from
the
administrative
response.
Our
intent
is
to
complete
all
but
one
by
by
June,
24,
and
so
so
again,
thank
you
and
we
look
forward
to
improving
our
efficiency
and
effectiveness.
N
Thank
thank
you.
So
much
I
don't
see
any
hands
right
now,
but
we'll
go
to
public
comments.
AI

A
man
was
killed
in
May,
while
using
a
San,
Jose
Bike
Lane
with
his
scooter
struck
an
improperly
placed
brush
pile
and
he
was
ejected.
This
was
a
preventable
tragedy,
but
sadly
represents
the
status
quo.
We
need
immediate
change
before
more
lives
are
lost.
Bike
lanes
are
blocked
daily
by
brush
bins
and
dumpsters,
also
collection,
trucks,
return
containers
into
bike
Lanes
in
violation
of
state
and
city
law.
You
might
not
appreciate
why
this
is
a
problem.
Russian
bins
are
often
dark
and
short,
and
at
night
might
be
invisible.
AI
If
cyclists
leave
the
bike
lane,
they
are
at
risk
of
car
collisions,
many
seem
ignorant
or
indifferent
to
bike
lane
safety.
This
requires
renewed
education
and
enforcement
within
staff
and
across
the
population,
see
my
written
public
comments
for
picture
evidence
and
concrete
ideas
to
implement.
Vision
zero
requires
structural
changes
ASAP
at
every
opportunity
within
all
aspects
of

right-of-way.
AI
Today's
reimagining
of
Waste
Management
responsibilities
is
an
opportunity
to
make
improvements,
and
residents
cannot
afford
to
wait
for
later
opportunity.
I
urge
Council
today
to
save
lives
and
meet
your
vision,
zero
commitments,
please
issue
the
strongest
possible
guidance
to
waste
management
at
wrecks.
One
two
and
five
should
cover

Lane
setouts
and
I
urge
Waste
Management
to
go
beyond
by
researching
prioritizing
and
addressing
the
bike
lane
waste
issues,
I
hope
for
them
to
report
back
to
council
about
this.

To

it
breaks
my
heart
every
time
that
I
have
to
tell
them
hey
the
safest
thing
right
now,
because
I
know
the
city
of
San
Jose
has
invested
a
lot
of
money
and
effort
and
with
their
Vision
zero
programs
to
try
to
make
these
bike
lanes,
and
we
do
appreciate
them.
AJ
Ways

would
like
to
see
San

at
least
consider
ideas
such
as
this,
especially
in
their
one
two
and
five
recommendations,
and
make
sure
that
they
consider
cyclists
moving
forward.
Thank
you.
U
Yes,
also
from
the
Horseshoe
on
point
Jordan.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
That
was
an
excellent,
concise
presentation
on
what
the
on
tying
in
traffic
safety
with
Waste
Management
I
too,
am
a
bike
rider
they're
from
the
car
I've
ridden
bike
for
at
least
40
years
in
the
city
and
when
I'm
going
down
and
I
I
at
least
25
30
miles
an
hour
easy
and
when
I'm
going
at
night.
U
I
want
to
see
it
on,
especially
considering
that
two
citizens
have
died
within
the
past
couple
of
days
and
I'm,
sick
and
tired
of
Grants
being
written
based
on
those
numbers.
You
see
the
more
people
that
die,
the
more
people
that
get
the
more
Vision
zero
gets
funded
and
all
that
happens
is
you
buy
a
bunch
of
Technology
now
Waste
Management,
also
with
those
piles
Jordan,
also
gave
another
excellent
example
on
how
it's
placed
within
those
bike
lanes,
and
it
poses
a
danger.
It's
only
shown
itself
to
do
so.
U
A
man
lost
his
life
off
of
something
as
simple
as
that.
Now
we
need
policies,
not
just
rhetoric,
but
we
need
actually
policies
that
are
instituted
that
actually
address
these
specific
issues,
not
what
you
want
to
do,
but
what
actually,
what
it
is
that
needs
to
be
done,
and
so
those
are
my
comments
and
once
again
thank
you
Jordan.
That
was
excellent.
Brother.
AK
Hello,
my
name
is
Martin
Delson
and
my
issue
is
also
garbage
cans
of
the
bike.
Lanes,
the
cities
put
a
lot
of
effort
into
building
bike
Lanes,
but
very
little
effort
into
keeping
them
actually
usable
they're
full
of
obstacles,
they're,
frequently
blocked
every
time.
I
take
a
ride
and
I
I
do
all
my
errands
by
bicycle.
I
would
say
every
single
time,
there's
some
obstacle
or
other
in
the
bike
lane.
Usually
many
of
them
and
the
biggest
source
of
them
by
far
are
garbage,
bins
and
piles
of
garbage
that
are
in
the
lanes.
AK
The
report
that
the
auditor
looked
at
has
no
mention
at
all
of
this
issue,
which,
to
me,
is
critical,
so
I'd
like
to
request
that
the
council
not
accept
the
auditor's
report
as
it
currently
stands,
and
instead
they
ask
that
it
be
modified
to
address
this
issue
and
come
up
with
some
recommendations
for
mitigating
the
problem,
and
also
please
do
this
in
consultation
with
our
bike
experts,
perhaps
the
the
San
Jose,
the
Silicon
Valley
Bicycle
Coalition.
So
thank
you
very
much
for
listening
to
my
comments.
B
Well,
my
colleagues
see
if
they
have
any
think
about
any
questions
they
may
have
I
thought
I
would
go
ahead
and
just
ask
about
the
bike.
Lane
safety,
in
addition
to
the
public
comment,
I
get
frequently
tagged
on
Twitter,
with
photos
of
whether
it's
garbage
cans
or
garbage
trucks
and
bike.
Lanes
I'm
just
curious,
maybe
a
little
out
of
scope
here,
but
who
is
responsible
for
monitoring
and
holding
people
accountable.
AG
Thank
you,
mayor,
I'll
start
and
then
Valerie
can
add
in
sort
of
the
specific
on
bike
lanes
and
then,
if
John
risto
has
anything
to
add,
I
think
that
would
that
would
be
helpful
for
me.
So
we
do
advise
residents
to
put
their
containers
and
yard
waste
out
into
into
the
area
in
front
of
their
home,
and
if
that
includes
a
bike
lane,
that
is
an
acceptable
use
of
the
the
public.
Roadway
I,
know
I,
not
to
say
I,
think
that's
our
best
answer.
AG
It's
just
to
say
that
that
it
that
is
allowable
and
it
has
been
something
that
we've
been
doing
for
decades.
So
with
that
in
mind,
it's
not
something
our
inspectors
would
enforce
on,
because
it's
not
a
violation
of
of
code
or
our
city
process.
Having
said
that,
certainly
room
for
improvement
and-
and
you
know,
I-
think
it's
going
to
take
us
a
bit
to
strategize
how
to
how
to
make
the
best
use
of
our
public
infrastructure
to
ensure
that
by
select
bicyclists,
pedestrians
and
and
motor
vehicles
are
all
safe.
AG
And
but
people
do
need
a
place
to
put
their
trash
cans
where
the
the
garbage
and
recycling
trucks
can
access
it
and
so
developer.
If
there's
any
particular
regulatory
requirements
and
then
if
someone
from
dot
has
something.
AL
I'd
just
like
to
add
that
the
enforcement
team
does
enforce
on
setouts
of
carts
in
the
event
that
they
are
set
out
improperly
too
early
or
left
out
too
late,
so
outside
of
the
typical
set
out
time.
Aside
from
that,
there's
no
enforcement
during
appropriate
set
out
times,
and
then
it
is
complaint
based.
So
we
do
need
to
receive
those
complaints
from
the
community
in
order
to
respond
to
them.
B
Great
I'll,
just
I,
don't
see
anything
else.
It
doesn't
sound
like
John,
wants
to
add
anything
else
to
it.
I'll
just
offer
my
two
cents
that
I
I
do
think
it's
worth
some
additional
thought,
particularly
on
our
busier
roads
having
lived
along
Santa
Teresa
of
Boulevard
for
many
years
I
understand
we
have
to
balance
many
different
needs
and
don't
want
to
make
it
overly
onerous
for
folks
to
put
out
their
trash
or
green.
B
Green
waste
is
a
great
example,
and
yet,
as
we're
all
working
very
hard
to
reduce
traffic
accidents
and
we've
had
a
couple
very
tragic
accidents
just
this
week,
we're
going
to
all
have
to
do
our
part
and
think
about
where
we
can
promote
Behavior
change
and
I.
Think
that
might
be
a
candidate.
So
I'll
leave
it
at
that.
Thank
you.
Councilor
Torres.
R
Yeah
good
afternoon,
so
thank
you
so
much
for
for
that
presentation.
I
I'm
also
concerned
just
like
the
mayor
regarding
the
blocking
of
the
of
the
bike
Lanes.
R
R
So
I
I
see
it
mostly
every
day
right
and
through
our
office
I
try
to
have
my
staff
reach
out
to
parking
compliance
or
to
report
it,
especially
if
I
see
that
it's
it
was
15
or
20
or
an
hour
ago
and
and
or
whatnot
because
it
is
it
is.
It
is
important,
and
these
we
made
bike
lanes
for
everyone
right,
so
it's
it's
just
not
for
the
office
worker
for
the
downtown
resident.
We
have
hundreds
of
folks
on
bikes
who
are
leaving
from
closing
up
their
business
right.
R
We
have
a
large
working-class
community
here
and
so
they,
you
know
after
the
rest,
the
restaurants
and
the
retail
shops
close
down
in
downtown
San
Jose
a
lot
of
the
folks
bike
away
right
in
the
dark,
and
so
for
me
it
is.
It
is
really
concerning
and.
R
R
So
much
I
know
that
my
team
has
been
working
with
you
on
on
the
many
concerns
that
our
our
bicyclists
have,
and
so
hopefully
you
know,
I
I'm,
still
I'm
gonna
hear
conversation
from
my
colleagues
before
I
decide
on
how
to
vote
for
on
this
audit,
because
it
is
a
particular
concern
from
from
my
downtown
residents
and
so,
but
thank
you
so
much
for
for
getting
all
those
concerns
and
and
hopefully
working
with
my
downtown
residents
offline.
So
thank
you.
K
K
So
I
would
really
like
staff
to
come
back
to
us
with
options
for
how
we
can
do
that.
So
I
think
I
think
that's
in
line
with
what
is
agenda
is,
and
so
I'd
like
to
accept
the
the
audit,
but
come
have
a
recommendation
for
staff
to
come
back
to
us
with
how
what
our
options
are
for
enforcing
keeping
the
bike.
Lanes
clear
with
the
with
the
Integrated
Waste
Management
enforcement
team.
Being
at
the
lead
of
that
very.
B
AG
I
am
wondering
if,
if
we
might
instead
be
able
to
figure
out
a
process
where
residents
have
a
different
place
to
put
their
trash
cans,
because
I
mean
we
can
do
increased
enforcement,
but
only
outside
of
the
normal
set
out
times,
which
I
don't
isn't
what
I
heard
from
any
of
the
council
members
or
the
public
they're
kind
of
saying
we
don't
want
them
in
the
bike
Lanes
at
all,
but
the
current
structure
of
our
system,
that
is,
the
only
place
to
put
the
cans
and
so
I
think
as
we
look
to
redesign
the
the
residential
and
Commercial
Garber
systems.
AG
B
B
I
mean
Carrie
I'll,
just
I'll
give
an
example
of
where
I
think
these
policies
obviously
have
to
balance
different
interests
as
I
mentioned,
and
we
have
different
stakeholders
and
different
needs,
and
it
may
not
be
possible
everywhere
of
different
parts
of
our
city
of
different
density
levels.
Different
levels
of
of
bike
traffic
I
can
tell
you.
I
lived
in
a
neighborhood
for
five
years
next
to
Santa
Teresa
Boulevard,
with
people
driving
45
50
miles
an
hour
and
had
a
neighbor
who
put
green
waste
in
the
bike
lane.
B
Every
week
when
there
was
space
right
in
front
of
his
home
without
a
car
there
I
mean
that
there
are
commons
now,
obviously
laying
out
the
rules
and
forcing
them
is
the
kind
of
complexity.
That's
going
to
require
the
thought
and
coming
back
to
a
committee
and
further
discussion,
but
we've
got
to
reduce
the
amount
of
obstructions
in
bike
Lanes,
particularly
along
roads,
where
people
are
driving
40
and
50
miles
an
hour
if
we
want
people
to
use
bikes
to
get
around,
and
we
just
have
to
do
better
as
a
city.
B
N
Just
to
follow
up
on
your
comment,
you
know
I
mean
I,
think
that,
even
if
you
were
to
identify
certain
areas
that
are
problematic
or
areas
where
you're
seeing
an
increase,
you
know
sort
of
issue
you
may
want
to
think
about.
How
do
we
solve
that?
You
know
because
I
think
that,
at
the
end
of
the
day
you
know
we
have
these
no
parking
signs
when
we
have
street
sweeping
right.
N
So
you
know
every
Wednesday,
it's
going
to
happen
right,
so
I
think
I
think
trying
to
find
a
location,
a
space
where
it
is
where
you
can
put
your
green
waste
or
whatever
might
be
a
way
that
you
can
just
identify
an
area,
try
it
and
see
if
it
would
create
any
better
results,
because
I
do
believe
that
you
know
having
it
in
the
bike
lane.
It's
just
a
matter
of
a
little
bit
of
Education
to
some
of
the
residents
to
be
able
to
try
to
do
it
in
a
way.
AG
Thank
you
I
think
it's
also
working
with
DOT
on
how
we
install
Bike
Lanes
with
garbage
carts
in
mind
and
then
right.
So
so
it's
looking
at
all
sides
of
it
and
mayor.
Thank
you
as
well,
for
the
you
know
doesn't
have
to
be
100
everywhere
on
day
one,
but
I
think
we
can
come
up
with
some
with
some
good
pilots
and
and
things
that
make
sense
for
the
biking
community
and
for
our
garbage
haulers.
B
Great
sounds
good
to
me:
excellent
okay,
council
member
Cohen.
T
Yeah,
it
just
occurs
me
as
I'm
trying
to
think
through
this
topic.
You
know
we
have
our
inspectors
and
maybe
we
should
spend
a
little
time.
The
next
step
is
to
spend
a
little
time
just
doing
a
survey
of
where
are
the
most
heavily
traveled
bike
lanes
and
where
are
cans
regularly
in
the
bike
lane.
So
we
have
some
information,
maybe
maybe
not
with
an
answer
as
to
how
we
solve
that
problem,
but
but
data
that
says
well.
These
are
the
major
bike
Lanes.
T
Maybe
these
are
the
ones
where
we
want
to
try
to
come
up
with
alternative
plans
because
they're
the
most
heavily
used
bike
lanes
and
then
figure
out,
maybe
those
Auditors
can
go
around
it.
I
mean
the
folks
doing
that
those
you
know
the
people
doing
this.
The
patrols
and
looking
can
actually
maybe
take
some
data
these
on
track
on
garbage
day.
T
B
B
B
AM
Good
afternoon,
mayor
council,
members
of
the
public,
Rosalind
Huey,
Deputy
city
manager
and
acting
housing
director
this
afternoon,
I
have
with
me
Kristin
Clemens,
our
interim
deputy
director
in
the
housing
department
and
Stephanie
dukowski,
who
actually
this
is
her
very
first
time
presenting
to
the
city
council.
So
we
are
super
excited
about
that.
She
did
a
terrific
job,
presenting
this
item
at
the
Housing
and
Community
Development
commission.
So
we're
very
excited
to
have
Stephanie
join
us
this
afternoon
before
we
get
started
into
the
presentation,
so
we're
glad
to
present
the
fiscal
year.
AM
AM
We
have
the
Continuum
of
Care
performance
outcomes
and
obviously
there
are
multiple
partners
within
the
city
and
throughout
the
county
who
are
helping
us
in
addressing
the
issue,
and
so
I
just
wanted
to
point
out
that
the
the
Caper
report
that
we're
presenting
to
you
today
is
actually
just
one
segment
of
all
of
the
city's
Investments
and
commitment
and
funding
to
the
issue
of
of
homelessness.
So
just
wanted
to
provide
that
context
and
with
that
I
will
hand
the
presentation
over
to
Kristen.
AN
Thanks
Rosalind
good
afternoon,
Maryland
city
council
members,
I
wanted
to
remind
you
where
we
are
in
the
annual
cycle
of
the
reporting
that
we
do
to
HUD
and
the
plans
that
we
create.
So
this
image
shows
you
the
cycles
that
we
go
through
each
year
for
planning
for
HUD
funds
from
the
US
Department
of
Housing
and
Urban
Development.
AN
The
Five-Year
Plan
includes
a
deep
analysis
of
housing
needs
and
impediments
to
fair
housing
in
our
community
as
HUD
requires,
and
it
defines
five-year
goals
of
what
we
should
be
spending
our
funds
from
HUD
on
to
address
the
needs.
And
then
there
are
five
individual
annual
action
plans
that
hook
to
The
Five-Year
Plan
each
of
those
have
annual
goals
and
at
nine
o'clock
on
the
circle.
Each
year
we
consult
the
community
and
the
Housing
and
Community
Development
Commission
on
our
proposed
spending
priorities
at
noon.
We
create
the
draft
annual
action
plans.
AN
We
bring
that
to
commission
and
Council
for
the
following
fiscal
years
expenditures
and
at
three
o'clock
we
enter
into
contracts
and
try
to
get
those
done
as
fast
as
we
can
given
the
approved
plan
and
the
city's
budget
cycle
and
then
in
each
fall,
which
is
where
we
are
now
at
the
6
PM
position.
We
report
back
on
outcomes
from
the
previous
fiscal
years
annual
action
plan.
AN
And
then
you
can
see
the
next
slide
lays
out
how
much
we
get
each
year
we
get
about
14.4
Million
by
formula
from
HUD,
and
we
are
down
very
very
slightly
over
the
prior
Year's
allocation
just
about
sixty
six
thousand
dollars
less
and
again.
This
is
what
we
program
every
year,
but
also
we
program
rollover
funds
so,
for
instance,
for
Capital
dollars.
Those
are
also
those
are
often
multi-year
projects,
and
so
some
commitments
start
and
one
fiscal
and
go
over
into
the
next
one
or
two
fiscal
years.
AO
So
one
of
the
first
priorities
is
the
increase
in
preserve,
affordable
housing
and
this
year
and
for
22-23
we
use
the
Hoppa
funds
to
do.
Tbra
hopway
is
our
Housing
Opportunity,
with
people
living
with
AIDS,
so
any
of
the
home
TBR
that
we
had
in
Prior
years.
We
kept
all
the
home
funds
and
we're
gonna
be
using
them
designated
for
a
new
development
commitment
through
an
upcoming
nofa,
which
I
believe
is
happening
in
October.
AO
So
this
priority
is
to
respond
to
homelessness
and
its
impact
on
the
community
and
just
a
couple
of
highlights.
We
service,
1,
153
individuals,
receiving
temporary
housing
case
management
and
supportive
services.
1017
individuals
receive
street-based,
Outreach,
Services
and
520
individuals
assisted
in
emergency
Motel
program.
AO
This
priority
is
our
strengthened
and
stabilized
communities,
and
these
are
our
public
service
programs
just
to
highlight
3714
social
visits
with
the
wellness
checks
for
low-income
seniors,
250
legal
consultations
for
low-income
people,
43
legal
representations
for
eviction
proceedings,
27
000,
three
meals
delivered
to
low-income,
seniors,
565
door-to-door
transportation
services
for
low-income
residents,
plus
393
translation
services
for
participants.
These
programs
were
primarily
serviced
by
the
health
trusts
Meals
on
Wheels
posso,
somos
Mayfair.
They
and
also
in
the
legal
would
be
the
law
Foundation.
AO
AO
Again
in
the
strengthened
and
stabilized
communities,
we
had
a
couple
of
construction
projects.
We
completed
the
final
Community
Wi-Fi
project.
This
specifically
was
for
the
Mount
Pleasant
and
Silver
Creek
High
School
area,
and
then
we
have
an
ongoing
construction
project
at
the
fair
Swim
Center
and
then
we're
doing
rehab
at
the
swim
center.
But
we're
also
doing
a
total
rehab
of
the
Tot
Lot
there,
and
that
taught
lot.
Construction
should
be
going
through
until
about
2026.
AO
AO
The
priority
for
promoting
fair
housing
choices,
we
have
a
a
Consortium,
that's
led
by
Lao
Foundation,
there's
project
Sentinel
Sala,
which
is
a
senior
adult
legal
assistance
and
the
Asian
law
Alliance,
and
so
there's
the
umbrella
of
fair
housing.
They
were
able
to
provide
37,
fair
housing
representations,
33
for
housing
investigations
and
finally
presented
21
education
and
Outreach
presentations.
AK
U
Yes,
thank
you
for
catching
that
Tony
Paul
center
from
a
horseshoe
with
respect
to
comments
that
were
made
by
the
vice
mayor
of
last
week
with
regarding
to
housing
performance
and
how
they
lack
a
concise,
targeted
policy
for
Eli
and
bli,
and
that's
troubling
to
me
because
once
again,
let
me
give
you
the
statistic
again
in
case
you
forgot
from
2016
until
this
last
quarter,
95
to
115
percent
of
market
rate
housing
goals
have
been
met
in
the
same
exact
time
period,
less
than
25
percent
of
Eli
vli
and
everything
else
goals
have
been
met
now
that
those
kinds
of
metrics
cannot
be
accomplished
unless
it
was
by
Design.
U
Now,
I
want
to
make
myself
very
clear
on
that,
because
I
don't
want
to
hear
any
more
rhetoric
from
the
housing
department.
I,
don't
want
to
hear
any
more
rhetoric
from
the
current
head
of
housing,
because
that's
all
it
is
it's
a
bunch
of
hot
air
and
it
has
no
real
Merit
to
it,
especially
when
considering
that
start
statistic.
U
So
what
I
want
to
know
is
what
they're
going
to
do
about
that,
because
everything,
if
you,
if
everything
else,
really
doesn't
matter,
I,
don't
I.
Don't
care
about
these
reports,
because
there
are
just
a
bunch
of
words
that
convolute
what
the
real
issue
is
and
the
real
issue
is
that
and
and
there's
a
there's,
there's
a
reason
why
it
was
from
2016.
is
because
that
was
the
date
when
the
non-disclosure
agreement
was
signed
with
Google.
U
That
was
the
date
when
that
was
signed.
So
from
there,
you
have
a
very
clear
metric
that
states
that
what
they
want
is
a
certain
class
of
people
living
here
in
its.
D
Thank
you,
mayor
I
also
want
to
thank
staff,
Rosalind,
Kristen
and
Stephanie.
Thank
you
so
much
for
your
presentation
and
hard
work.
I
really
appreciated
the
report.
I
think
most
of
my
comments
are
in
regards
to
the
home
first
portion
and
the
data
that
relates
to
that
so
I
I
I
understand
the
report.
States
city-wide
Outreach
for
unsheltered
populations
from
the
home
first
program
served
706
participants
and
of
the
total
participants,
served
520
individuals
exited
the
program
and
of
the
total
participants.
Again,
only
eight
percent
were
successfully
housed
in
the
supplemental
memo.
We
see.
D
It's
essentially
explained
due
to
staff
being
dispatched
to
different
locations
on
a
daily
basis
and
inclement
weather
prevented
more
thorough
outrage.
Is
there
discussions
on
how
we
are
going
to
work
to
improve
these
statistics
because,
to
be
honest,
they're,
not
looking
really
good
for
us
right
now.
AN
Thank
you,
council,
member
yeah,
there's
a
lot
of
data
in
here,
and
some
of
it
could
use
further
delving
into.
That
is
one
statistic
that
was
noted
at
the
Housing,
Commission
and
I.
Think
the
explanation
for
that
is
fairly
complicated,
so
I'd
like
to
recognize
our
colleague,
Kelly
Hemphill,
to
come
down.
AN
Kelly
is
the
program
manager
for
our
homelessness
response
and
our
grants
team,
together
with
homelessness
response
work
extremely
closely
with
all
of
the
grantees
that
we
fund
as
to
what
scope
of
work
that
they
are
doing
and
how
they
are
doing
it
and
together
set
goals
for
those
outcomes
that
are
consistent
with
other
goals
in
the
county,
as
established
by
the
community
plan
to
end
homelessness.
So
we
wanted
to
ask
Kelly
if
she
could
give
us
more
information
on
the
home
first
Outreach
work
thanks
Kelly.
AP
AP
AP
AP
So
last
fiscal
year
there
were
about
5
100
calls
into
our
homeless
concerns
hotline
and
the
five
person
Outreach
team
with
the
Citywide
outreach
program
responded
to
all
of
those,
and
this
includes
calls
from
Neighbors
Council
offices,
the
mayor's
office,
beautify,
SJ,
dot
Caltrans,
and
these
are
all
calls
to
go
out
and
figure
out.
The
situation
assess
the
situation,
go
and
talk
to
the
homeless
person.
AP
So
this
program
in
particular,
consistently
underperforms
as
it
does
not
allow
for
outreach
teams
to
develop
meaningful
rapport
and
there's
still
a
huge
need
for
this
type
of.
We
still
recognize
that
there's
a
still
there's
a
huge
need
for
this
type
of
deployment.
I,
I
intentionally,
didn't
call
it
Outreach,
because
it's
not
it's
not
engagement
based,
it's
enforcement
based
and
so
I
did
want
to
say
that
we
recognize
this
and
we're
not
trying
to
make
excuses.
But
we
did
take
this
last
year.
AP
My
team
took
this
last
year
to
assess
Outreach
and
really
redesign
how
we
want
to
provide
Outreach
and
use
our
professional
service
organizations
who
know
how
to
speak
to
and
work
with
people
experiencing
homelessness.
So
we
did
release
an
RFP
on
September
13th,
which
is
all
proactive,
Outreach
based
and
we
will
be
working
with
we'll
be
hiring
some
city
employees
to
address
the
reactive
deployments
beginning
next
fiscal
year.
Thank.
D
You
I
appreciate
that
context,
so
essentially,
even
though
this
says
city-wide
Outreach
for
unsheltered
populations,
it's
not
really
City
one.
So
is
there
a
way
that
we
could
be
being
intentional,
more
intentional,
with
our
language
that
we're
using,
as
well
as
the
data
that
we're
presenting,
because
it's
our
job
to
look
at
this
data
and
then
ask
questions
on
it.
So
I
just
feels
like
the
information
wasn't
presented
to
us
in
the
best
way.
AP
It
is
definitely
city-wide,
it's
people
are
being
deployed,
our
five-person
team
is
being
deployed
throughout
the
entire
city,
and
so.
AP
These
but
they're
out,
this
is
home
first,
which
are
Outreach
providers,
and
we
recognize
that
they're
not
really
providing
Outreach,
which
is
engagement.
They
are
more
of
an
enforcement,
which
is
why
we're
redesigning
our
whole
entire
strategy.
D
B
Held
swimmer
I
do
just
want
to
pick
up
on
the
council
members
questions
for
a
moment,
so
I
think
you
made
an
important
Point
Kelly.
This
is
one
of
many
different
Outreach
programs,
so
the
1.4
million
of
the
HUD
dollars
that
are
covered
in
this
report.
What
percentage
of
our
overall
Outreach
effort
does
that
comprise?
Let
me
just
roughly.
B
AN
Sources,
it
was
about
five
percent
of
total
expenditures,
including
permanent
supportive
housing
developments
by
the
way-
and
you
know
of
the
dollars
spent
a
little
bit
over
a
quarter
this
year
were
through
the
U.S
Department
of
Housing
and
Urban
Development.
B
AN
In
this
report
there,
what
we
called
Outreach
and
and
aggregated
together
was
city
right,
Outreach,
I'm,
looking
at
table,
B
targeted,
Outreach
and
then
Services
Outreach
assistance
and
resources
so
of
those
of
those
funds
together.
AN
Z
B
B
That
is
about
one
quarter
of
all
the
dollars
we
spend
on
Outreach
across
City
functions
to
those
Outreach,
with
the
caveat
that
councilmember
Ortiz
just
identified,
but
right
it's
about
a
course.
We
spent
about
four
times
so
we're
spending
something
on
the
order
of
five
million
six
million
dollars
on
Outreach
I.
Think
you
that's
right,
I!
Think:
okay,
that's
helpful!
I
just
wanted
to
start
there
and
then
I
think
I.
Think
this
reactive
versus
proactive
enforcement
versus
engagement
model
I
think
is
very
relevant.
I
think
councilmember
Ortiz's
point.
B
It
would
be
helpful
for
us
to
have
that
I
know.
Sometimes
we
get
these
reports
because
they're
mandated
by
the
federal
government
state
government
I
think
having
a
supplemental.
If
you
will
having
some
cheat
sheet
some
additional
context,
maybe
that
mostly
should
be
in
the
presentation
but
I
think
the
audience
here.
Our
job
is
beyond
whatever
the
reporting
requirement.
Might
be
from
HUD
Hud's
technical
language,
it's
complicated
and
in
this
case
we're
talking
about
Outreach
for
25
percent
of
our
Outreach
dollars.
I
think
what
we
care
about
is
how's
our
Outreach
going
affect
you
know.
B
Overall,
how
is
it
going?
What
are
the
categories?
How
effective
is
it?
My
understanding
from
the
data
we
were
able
to
dig
into
from
our
team
was
that
across
the
board,
our
Outreach
programs
aren't
hitting
that
County
Benchmark
we
have,
which
is
that
38
of
people
who
are
engaged
through
Street
Outreach
will
be
successfully
housed.
Our
assumption
is
the
primary
reason,
for
that
is
that
we
don't
have
anywhere
to
refer
them
to.
B
AP
One
reason:
yes,
but
again,
it's
really
all
about
building
the
relationships,
and
so
when
people
are
deployed
and
meet
with
somebody
once
being
receptive
to
what
is
being
offered
is
unlikely.
B
Right
takes
repeated
contact
and
building
a
relationship,
correct,
so
I
think
again
back
to
sorry.
I
keep
referencing
you
councilor
Ortiz,
but
I
think
you
you
hit
on
a
key
Point
here,
which
is
I,
think
it
would
be
helpful
for
us-
and
maybe
this
is
in
the
annual
report
on
homelessness,
to
see
to
understand.
Okay,
total
dollars
spent
on
Outreach
the
breakdown
of
the
types
of
Outreach
and
then
within
the
engagement
model,
as
opposed
to
the
enforcement
model.
Are
we
hitting
that
38
Benchmark?
That's
the
county
standard
or
not,
and
why
or
why
not?
B
And
and
so
a
follow-up
question
I
would
have
that
we
may
not
be
able
to
answer
today.
I,
don't
I,
don't
know.
I.
Think
we
may
have
sent
these
over
in
advance.
Is
how
often,
when
we're
doing
outreach,
are
we
able
to
offer
shelter
or
housing
some
safe,
managed
place
for
a
person
to
go
and
by
the
way
going
forward?
I
would
include
safe
parking,
for
example,
as
an
example,
any
safe
managed
placement.
How
often
are
we
able
to
offer
that
when
we're
doing
the
engagement
model
versus
the
enforcement
model.
AP
We're
really
lucky
because
our
our
proactive
Outreach
teams
are
the
direct
referrers
to
our
interim
shelters,
and
so
they
are
in
the
know
whenever
there's
an
opening,
but
it
is
dependent
on
having
an
opening
and
all
of
our
interim
shelters
are
full
always
and
we
will
fill
them
when
there's
an
opening
when
the
when
the
units
are
ready.
They're,
they're,
full
but
I
do
know
that.
AP
If
the
interim
shelters
were
available,
if
permanent,
affordable
housing
was
available,
it
would
make
the
Outreach
workers
much
their
lives.
Much
easier,
we'd
have
way
higher
outcomes,
and
one
other
point
I
did
want
to
make
is
that
these
numbers
reflect
both
light,
touches
and
intensive
case
management
and
our
homeless
management
information
system.
Auto
exits
every
quarter
if
there's
no
updates
within
the
system,
and
so
that's
also
contributing
to
the
low
outcome
numbers
so
I
did
want
to
make
mention
of
that.
B
B
If
we're
spending
five
million
dollars
doing
Outreach
to
folks
who
are
experiencing
homelessness,
whatever
percentage
of
that
is
proactive,
engagement
based
I
think
it's
important
for
us
to
know
how
often
for
how
many
of
those
individuals
are
we
able
to
offer
a
place
for
them
to
go
without
that?
It's
hard
for
us
to
know.
If
this
is
the
right
balance,
we
have.
B
We
have
such
limited
resources
that
five
million
dollars,
if
we're
not
even
able
to
offer
somebody
a
place
to
go,
maybe
we're
overspending
on
Outreach
when
we
should
be
spending
else,
I,
just
and
I'm,
not
sure
I'm
not
jumping
to
that
conclusion,
but
that
Outreach
may
not
be
very
effective.
If
we
don't
have
a
place
to
offer,
someone
so
I
think
we
need
to
understand
the
data.
AP
However,
the
Outreach
workers
are
very
human-centered,
and
so
everybody
there
they
look
at
everybody
with
a
different
lens
and
whatever
individualized
Services
people
may
need,
and
so
yes,
if
there
are
beds
available
or
units
available
and
over
time,
there
will
be
for
people
who
are
working
consistently
with
with
the
with
the
individuals
they're
offered.
But
if
people
don't
want
those,
they
look
at
other
Solutions,
and
sometimes
it's
not
the
most
appropriate
placement,
so
Outreach
is
very
diverse.
AP
B
I
appreciate
that
and
I'll
I'll
wrap
up
on
this,
but
I
just
want
to
make
this
point.
I
think
the
council
has
rightly
placed
a
priority
on
expanding
safe,
managed
places
for
people
to
go
and
getting
people
into
safe
and
managed
places
as
quickly
as
possible
for
a
whole
variety
of
reasons,
not
the
least
of
which
is
just
the
the
immense
human
suffering
we
see
on
the
streets.
B
So
given
that
I
think
it's
really
important
when
the
next
time
we
come
back
and
talk
about
Outreach
that
we
understand
setting
aside,
perhaps
the
enforcement
related
actions
that
are
immediate
because
there's
I
don't
know
somebody
is
you
know
laying
on
the
sidewalk
setting
aside
the
immediate
enforcement
reactive,
you
know
calls
we
must
take.
How
often
are
we
able
to
offer
someone
a
safe
managed
place
to
go
and
how
often
are
they
accepting
and
if
that's
over
different
time
frames?
B
That's
fine
because
I
hear
you
loud
and
clear
that
may
not
be
on
the
first
Contact
I
appreciate
that
I
think
we
can
handle
the
Nuance
in
that
and
that's
fine,
but
I
think
we
need
to
understand
that
to
get
a
better
sense
of
how
the
these
dollars
are
being
spent.
How
effective
our
partners
are
I
understand
we're
deploying
an
encampment
resolution
Grant
along
the
Creek
right
now,
along
our
downtown
stretch
here
and
we've
run
into
quite
a
few
folks
who
aren't
ready
to
come
indoors.
I
think
that's
important
for
us
to
understand.
B
I
think
we
need
the
I
understand
that
there's
complexity
and
Nuance,
but
we
need
the
bird's
eye
view
of
the
whole
program,
the
types
of
calls,
the
types
of
interactions
and
how
effective
it
is
because
we
may
not
be
spending
these
five
million
dollars
as
effectively
as
we
could
be,
and
maybe
we
should
be
putting
it
more
into
expanding
motel
vouchers
or
something
I,
don't
know,
but
I
just
I
think
we
really.
We
need
the
data.
Okay,
sorry
I
certainly
used
up
my
10
minutes.
Councilor
Cohen
you
were,
you
were
up.
T
Yeah,
thank
you
and
thank
you
all
for
the
presentation.
Thank
you
Kelly
for
stepping
in
also
and
giving
us
some
context
on
this.
This
is
a
complicated
topic
that
often
I
I
see
reports
and
things
that
oversimplify
it
and
say.
Well,
you
spent
this
much
money
and
there's
still
homelessness
and
therefore
you're
failing
right,
I
mean
that's
an
oversimplified
version
of
the
simplification.
That's
out
there,
but
I
I.
Just
wonder
and
I
know
this
report
might
not
be
the
place
for
it.
T
Obviously
this
is
HUD
asking
for
specific
measures,
but
people
are
gonna
every
time
we
talk
about
homelessness,
people
are
going
to
read
it
and
say
you're
failing.
T
We
still
have
homeless
people
on
the
street,
and
so
we
I
think
we
need
to
find
a
way
to
continue
to
figure
out
what
are
the
right
metrics
for
each
of
the
programs,
and
you
know
the
metric
for
the
program
you
just
described,
which
is
the
reactive
Outreach,
is
not
the
same
as
the
metric
for
the
proactive
Outreach
or
the
metric
for
our
interim
housing,
but
I,
don't
think
I
mean
I,
know
that
there's
been
some
talk
about.
Maybe
that's
not
the
right
place
to
spend
money,
I,
don't
think
any
one
of
us.
T
If,
if
they
really
thought
about
it
would
give
up
that
portion
of
the
program
because
we're
the
ones
who
call
you
and
say
hey.
We
have
a
problem
in
our
in
our
community
right
now.
There's
a
there's
a
in
a
camera,
that's
getting
out
of
control
and
we
got
to
do
something
about
it.
So
we
have
to
have
that
program
to
go
out
and
talk,
find
out
what's
happening,
and
but
that
program
is
not
intended
necessarily
to
place
people
in
sites,
and
this
is
a
this
is
a
mathematical
problem.
T
T
We
can't
just
say
well
we're
going
to
focus
on
making
more
spots,
because
even
then
it's
only
what
a
thousand
spots
or
1500
spots
there
still
will
be
residents
who
are
saying
you're,
not
helping
us
with
the
issue.
That's
happening
right
in
our
neighborhood
right
now
and
and
I,
don't
I,
don't
think
any
of
us
again
thinking
it
through
would
accept
not
doing
anything
or
not
having
people
go
out
and
and
at
least
address
potential
issues
happening
in
those
in
those
encampments.
T
I'm,
not
sure
where
I'm
going
with
this
but
I
feel
like
I
feel
like
we.
We
need
some
to
really
think
about
what
are
the
metrics
for
each
of
the
programs
and
what
is
our
measure
of
success,
because
the
measure
of
success
of
every
program
isn't
reducing
the
number
of
people
on
the
street?
It
can't
be
as
long
as
we
have
way
more
people
on
the
street
than
we
have
places
to
place.
People
and
that's
both
short
term
and
long
term.
T
I
want
to
point
out
the
real
Ultimate
success
is
putting
people
into
long-term
permanent
housing.
We
can't
just
give
up
on
that
portion
and
assume
that
if
we
create
temporary
housing
that
everybody's
served,
it
has
to
be
both
I.
Think.
That's
why
some
of
us
fought
really
hard
to
make
sure
that
we
continue
to
focus
on
both
in
this
year's
budget,
but
maybe
we
just
have
a
conversation
next
time.
What
are
the
proper
metrics,
because
when
someone
says
oh
you're
spending,
24
million
dollars
in
homelessness,
the
success
rate
is
really
low.
T
We're
not
seeing
homelessness,
get
better
I
I'm,
not
sure
that
that's
the
message
that
we
want
to
be
sending
and
I
know
that
the
people
in
your
teams
are
working
really
hard.
I
know
that
the
people
were
trying
to
contract
with
are
working
hard,
but
it's
not
maybe
not
clear
to
people
what
their
objectives
are
and
whether
they're
being
successful
at
those
objectives
and
so
I.
We
need
to
think
about
what
are
the
objectives
we
want
to
measure,
and
you
know
how
are
we
going
to
judge
whether
we're
spending
that
money
effectively
so
I?
AM
Yeah,
actually,
thank
you
so
much
councilmember
Cohen.
So
one
thing
that
I
just
wanted
to
interject
and
yes
you're,
absolutely
correct.
We
need
to
find
a
way
to
message
to
the
mayor
and
Council
in
our
community
at
large
in
terms
of
how
we're
doing
in
terms
of
all
of
the
programs
I.
Do
we
want
to
remind
the
council
that,
under
our
new
structure
of
focus
areas,
the
focus
area
addressing
homelessness,
we
will
be
reporting
to
the
Council
on
our
scorecard.
AM
So
we're
going
to
get
very
specific
in
terms
of
what
our
outcome
is,
what
the
goal
is
and
then
how
we're
going
to
get
there
and
I
think
that
will
be
an
opportunity
we'll
be
reporting
to
city
council,
quarterly
I!
Think
we're
coming
at
the
end
of
October
for
our
first
report
and
I.
Think
that
will
be
the
opportunity
to
share
with
you
an
art
community
about
how
we're
tackling
the
issue,
what
our
outcomes
want
to
be
and
what
are
those
strategies
to
get
to
that
outcome?.
T
Yeah,
thank
you
I.
You
know
this
is
time.
I
mean
there
was
a
timely
report.
Today
give
I
mean
there
was
a
media
report
today,
which
I
think
was
a
bit
misleading
about.
We
spent
24
million
dollars
and
only
10
of
a
thousand
people
have
been
served.
We
have.
We
know
we
have
500
people
currently
in
interim
housing
that
we're
serving
and
some
of
that
money
is
going
to
serving
them.
That
that
you
know
you
could
argue,
that's
100
effective,
because
every
spot
is
taken.
T
We
also
have
talked
about
the
the
effective
rate
of
those
people
being
placed
into
a
more
permanent,
stable
position
once
they
leave
those
sites
that
are
exited
from
those
sites.
We
know
that
number
isn't
10,
but
it's
significantly
higher
than
that.
We
we
we
know
that
there's
other,
obviously
things
that
we're
still
there's
tough
growing
pains
on.
T
T
Well,
we
know
that
there's
you
know
the
fight
we'd
have
in
terms
of
building
locations
for,
for
this
is
not
as
simple
as
that,
and
so
I
I
think
it's
important
just
for
us
to
be
able
to
have
a
response
about
all
the
different
things
that
that
money
is
being
spent
on
and
that
there's
multiple
measures
for
different
elements
of
that
of
that
res
of
those
resources.
So
I
think
that's
that's
it
for
my
comments.
N
Thank
you.
I
just
want
to
Echo
something
that
my
colleague
council
member
Cohen
just
said
in
terms
of
looking
at
metrics
of
success.
I
think
that's
going
to
be
critically
important.
I
know
that
in
your
report
you
do
mention
the
goals
and
what
they
are,
but
I
think
that
I
would
suggest
going
back
and
taking
a
look
at
them
again
and
figuring
out.
How
do
we
get
to
better
outcomes
because
I
know
this
is
a
report
of
what
has
been
as
we
start
moving
to
what
will
be?
N
I,
don't
see,
I
mean
we
had
the
art
money,
we
had
all
kinds
of
money
coming
forward
and
that
is
gone
away,
and
so,
if
we
are
going
to
have
limited
dollars,
how
do
we
make
them
count?
N
I
think
that
you
know
having
the
five
Outreach
programs
is
very
aggressive,
but
did
they
get
you
to
where
you
want
to
be,
and
I
would
say
that
you
can
do
all
the
Outreach
you
want,
but
if
you're
not
going
to
do
any
follow-up,
nothing
happens
and
so
I'm
a
little
bit
sort
of
like
interested
in
understanding.
In
your
report
you
mentioned
coordinating
with
the
county.
N
You
know
the
county
has
a
huge
database
system
dealing
with
those
who
get
services
so
I'm
wondering
as
you
do
this
outrage
as
you
collect,
whatever
information
or
whatever
it
is
that
you
do
as
you're
building
your
engagement
or
relationship.
N
Do
you
share
the
database?
Do
you
when,
when
the
information
comes
to
you,
do
you
say
oh
County,
we
have
you
know
10
people
over
here
that
can
use
your
services.
You
know
I
mean
it
when
you
say
to
me
in
the
report
that
it's
coordinated,
is
it
really
coordinated,
I,
don't
know,
but
I
just
think
that
you
know
being
a
little
bit
more
intentional,
as
well
as
thinking
about
having
less
funds
to
do
what
you
need
to
do
and
the
problem,
as
we
all
know,
is
huge.
So
how
do
you
make
limited
dollars
count.
AN
Council
members
I
think
your
vice
mayor.
Thank
you
for
the
question.
I
Kelly
would
be
better
to
answer
the
detailed
information
about
the
homeless
management
information
system.
We
all
share
access
to
that
system.
Kelly
do
you
want
to
and
that's
a
county
system
correct.
AP
Okay,
yeah
the
homelessness
management,
information
system,
hmis
and
I
do
have
people
on
my
staff
who
can
access
and
draw
data
reports
from
the
system.
But
yes,
it
is
a
county-wide
system
and
we
do
coordinate
with
the
county.
Every
week
we
case
conference
we
work
with
their
Outreach
teams,
we're
very
coordinated.
That's.
N
Good
to
know,
I
I
think
that
you
know
the
more
data,
the
more
follow-up
of
an
individual,
the
more
information.
It's
going
to
be
able
to
help
you
make
decisions,
so
I'm
really
glad
to
hear
that
I
I
think
that
you
know
when
I
hear
about
the
Outreach
programs,
they
sound
fine
but
I.
How
are
you
going
to
get
them
to
be
able
to
achieve
better
outcomes?
N
I
mean
I,
you
you
mentioned
oh
well.
If
we
had
some
place
to
put
them,
I
think
that
as
a
council,
we
are
trying
we
are
trying
to
find
eih
sites
we're
trying
to
find
RV
sites
car
sites,
and
you
know
any
place
that
we
could
possibly
you
know
use.
But
you
know
how?
How
do
we?
How
do
we
get
to
a
better
place.
AP
Thanks
vice
mayor,
so
we
did
spend
this
last
year,
as
I
mentioned,
really
taking
a
hard
look
at
how
we
can
improve
our
outcomes
and
our
programming
for
outreach,
and
we
decided
that
a
soar
model
or
a
safe
encampment
resolution
model,
Where,
You,
Are,
all
resources
in
one
targeted
area
works,
and
so
we
are
going
to
be
looking
at
one
or
more
contracts,
probably
two
to
really
focus
in
on
tar
and
Target
specific
areas
and
work
in
those
areas.
AP
Work
really
hard
all
hands
on
deck,
with
everybody,
who's
living
in
that
targeted
area
downtown
being
one
of
the
target
areas
all
the
time
throughout
the
life
of
the
program
and
work
with
everybody
until
we've
resolved
their
homelessness.
And
then
we
work
with
beautify
SJ
to
resolve
the
encampment
and
move
on
to
another
targeted
area.
So
we
definitely
have
a
plan
in
place.
N
N
We
go
back
every
you
know
it's
it's
it's
it's
something
that
I
think
will
continue
to
grow
unless,
unless
we
do
something
differently,
I
don't
know
what
that
differently
is,
but
but
I'm
concerned
that
this
is
not
sustainable
and
that
at
some
point
you
know
I
know
we
have
some
funding
through
some
of
the
measures,
but
they're
Limited
and
I.
Don't
know
that
we're
going
to
be
able
to
keep
drawing
from
the
general
fund
to
be
able
to
continue
paying
for
things
that
you
know,
there's
no
in
the
sight.
N
So
as
we
think
about
how
we
deal
with
things
in
the
future,
I
think
you
know
there
have
been
some
solutions
that
have
been
have
been
brought
forward
by
the
mayor.
Other
council
members,
in
terms
of
being
able
to
solve
the
issue,
but
in
terms
of
of
dollar
amount.
This
is
going
to
continue
to
grow
and
I'm
very
concerned
about
that.
So,
as
we
start
thinking
about
oh
Outreach
and
this
and
that
and
here
and
there
I
want
to
think
about
how
we're
going
to
pay
for
it.
N
AH
What
a
first
comment
is
that
your
report
on
table
B,
which
I
read
every
one
of
the
goals,
is
far
exceeded.
AH
What
you
did
so
that
would
indicate
that
we're
doing
phenomenally
better
than
one
would
ever
expect
us
to
be
able
to
do
with
this
money,
because
some
places
you
have
exceeded
the
goal
by
279
percent,
especially
you
look
at
the
paths.
Outreach,
okay,
I'm,
not
sure.
If
the
community
feels
that
we're
doing
that.
AH
Well,
so
there's
something
either
we
are
not
measuring
correctly
or
the
impressions
are
not
correct,
because
if
we're
exceeding
the
goals
in
every
one
of
these
seven
categories-
and
we
don't
feel
that
good
about
it,
I
would
ask
you
to
look
at
your
measures
really.
Are
we
really
doing
that?
Well,
the
second
one
which
even
concerns
me
more.
AH
The
example
you
laid
out
at
the
bottom
of
the
page,
where
you
talk
about
an
example
of
what
the
home
first,
who
the
home
first
helped:
okay
and
the
service
they
had
to
give
it
to
somebody
who
had
just
moved
from
Georgia
to
here,
and
you
had
to
find
them
the
accommodation
because
they
were
on
the
street.
Okay,
one
of
the
community's
problem,
which
I've
been
hearing
is
the
ones
who
want
to
help
everybody.
AH
AH
But
the
example
which
you
put
out
there
is
going
to
reinforce
the
image
of
the
people
who
say
the
one
we
are
helping
are
not
the
people
who
really
were
either
here
or
the
ones
who
were
here.
We
are
not
helping
them
so
I,
don't
know.
If
this
example
we
should
help
everybody,
but
this
is
going
to
reinforce
the
problem
which
people
believe
that
we
are
really
not
spending
our
dollars
in
the
right
direction
and
I'm
not
sure
what
the
solution
I
can
offer.
You
is
that's
the
reading.
AH
It
will
come
out
because
you
were
helping
with
tremendous
amount
of
our
Resources
with
outrage,
people
who
had
just
moved
from
Georgia
here
now
you
had
to
help
them.
You
got
the
call,
but
I,
don't
know
how
to
address
that
with
this
people
who
have
been
complaining
about
that,
our
dollars
are
not
going
towards
helping
the
people
who
build
this
city.
Okay,
so
you
can
take
that
comment
and
whatever
you
want
to.
But
keep
that
in
mind.
This
is
the
example
you
chose
to
put
out.
AH
AF
Q

AH
AH
AM
Thank
you,
council,
member,
batra
and
I
think
you
noted
in
your
comment.
So
obviously
when
we
are
contacted
we
get
calls
and
in
this
example
the
call
was
about
a
parked
RV
on
a
city
street,
and
it
just
so
happened
right.
The
people
living
in
the
RV,
you
know
just
moved
to
San
Jose,
so
we
don't
always
know
circumstances
but
again
we're
responding
to
a
call
about
a
parked
RV
on
a
city
street.
But
certainly
your
comment
that
is
noted.
Yeah.
AH
AH
The
only
example
you
put
in
there
of
the
help
extended
is
going
to
go
against
the
people,
people
who
are
very
concerned
about
where
our
money
is
going
and-
and
this
is
one
of
the
common
comment
we
get-
that
we
don't
know
if
we
are
helping
the
people
who
really
were
in
San
Jose
or
is
San
Jose
attracting
the
people
because
we
have
so,
which
is
the
cause
and
the
effect
ratios
so
I
think
we
need
to
be
careful
in
the
examples
which
we
highlight.
That's
that
would
be
my
comment
on.
AH
It
is
that
okay
and
the
other
person
I
already
told
you,
is
that
the
I
think
we
need
to
make
sure
that
you
know
the
exam
or
not
the
example,
but
the
measures
you're
putting
out
there.
They
seem
to
be
too
good
compared
to
what
the
feeling
of
the
community
is,
how
much
we
are
able
to
help
the
people
and
all
that.
So
we
would
like
you
to
examine
what
you
really
report
for
us:
okay,.
B
Okay,
great
thank
you,
council
member
councilor,
Torres.
R
Great,
thank
you.
Thank
you,
Rosalind
for
for
your
presentation
and
the
rest
of
your
housing
team.
I,
appreciate
it
and,
most
importantly,
thank
you
Kelly
for
for
your
your
comments
and
your
presentation.
I
know
you
weren't
originally
part
of
it,
but
some
of
my
members,
some
of
my
colleagues,
had
real
concerns
about
the
audit,
especially
when
it
comes
to
outreach,
and
we
all
know
this
crisis
is
is
is,
is,
is
massive.
It's
major.
It's
we
see
it
every
day.
We
hear
it
every
day.
R
Right,
especially,
you
know,
folks
who
who
live
in
downtown
and
work
in
downtown
or
represent
downtown
right,
and
so
this
audit
solidifies.
R
You
know
the
the
concerns
that
our
residents
have
the
concerns
that
we
have,
but
that
together
we
can
work
together
right
to
to
make
sure
that
that
we
are
doing
what's
right
for
our
unhouse
community
and
and
I'm,
not
gonna
I'm,
not
gonna,
I'm,
not
gonna,
continue
to
to
mention
the
you
know,
the
the
numbers
or
the
statistics
that
we
don't
like
in
this
audit
right.
It's
a.
R
We
all
know
that
the
the
housing
crisis
is
is
is
a
major
one,
but
as
a
downtown
council
member
and
somebody
who
walks
to
their
meetings
through
downtown
or
sees
home
first
in
our
neighborhoods
dealing
with
our
unhoused
I.
R
Just
I
want
to
give
major
kudos
to
a
path
and
home
first
I
see
path
consistently
in
downtown
every
single
day,
working
with
our
unhoused
residents,
who
are
in
front
of
businesses
right,
especially
those
who
continue
to
be
in
front
of
those
businesses
right
making
making
the
direct
Outreach
and
having
the
bag
of
whatever
they
have
and
all
the
resources
in
their
bag
and
in
Japan
Town.
We
are
getting.
R
We,
unfortunately,
are
getting
a
lot
of
RVs
parking
and
in
in
our
neighborhoods
and
and
I,
see
home
first
out
knocking
on
these
in
these
RVs,
and
so
it's
we
know
that
we
know
it's.
It's
what's
happening
right
and
so
I
just
want
to
give
kudos
to
not
only
our
housing
department
but
the,
but
the
folks
who
are
doing
the
Outreach
for
for
our
unhoused.
You
know
it's,
you
know
it's
a
crisis,
and-
and
you
know
this,
this
audit
is
not.
R
Is
not
perfect
and
when
we're
dealing
with
our
unhoused
community,
it's
never
going
to
be
perfect
right
and
we're
never
going
to
make
folks
happy
right,
but
that
together
we
can.
We
can
make
sure
that
that
that
our
folks
are
getting
housed
in
whatever
way
they
can
be
housed
right,
and
so
so
I
just
wanted
to
provide
those
comments,
and
you
know
make
sure
that
home
first
and
path,
let
them
know
that
I
know
that
they're
doing
their
best
in
you
know
with
whatever
resources
they
have.
So
thank
you.
Z
B
Want
to
thank
staff
for
the
report,
appreciate
it
good
discussion
and
I
just
want
to
just
just
quick
final
reflection
here.
I
do
want
to
make
sure
we
don't
psych
ourselves
out
into
thinking.
We
don't
have
a
plan,
I
think
we
do
I,
I
and
I
want
to
just
contextualize
my
my
questions
very
briefly
here.
B
I
think
we've
been
very
clear
that
we
have
a
two-pronged
Approach
at
a
very
high
level
here
of
wanting
to
accelerate
the
rate
at
which
we
get
people
into
safe,
managed
environments,
including
both
short-term
interim
Solutions
and
long-term
permanent
Housing.
Solutions
I
think
we're
very
clear
that
that's
the
priority
having
a
home
for
everyone,
even
if
that
starts
with
an
interim
or
transitional
placement
which
could
even
include
a
safe
parking
site
I.
B
I
think
we
need
to
look
at
every
dollar
we
spend
through
the
lens
of
how
well
it's
driving
at
the
top
level
outcomes
that
the
council
has,
in
most
cases
already
identified.
It's
not
like
we're
starting
from
scratch
here,
so
I
didn't
so
we
didn't
want
my
line
of
questions
to
open
up
some
kind
of
Pandora's
box
of
we
don't
have
a
plan.
What
do
we
do?
You
know?
B
It's
just
I
want
to
make
sure
we
know
on
something
like
Outreach
that
it's
actually
driving
toward
one
or
both
of
those
key
outcomes
we've
already
identified
as
our
sort
of
North
Star
right
now
for
our
for
our
work
on
homelessness,
okay,
I
didn't
hear
a
motion
did
I.
Did
someone
move
the
report
we'll
let
counselor
Cohen
I'll.
P
B
Passes
unanimously,
okay,
great!
Thank
you
all.
We
are
on
to
open
Forum
opportunity
for
members
of
the
public
to
comment
on
City
business.
That
was
not
on
today's
agenda.
AI
Thank
you,
council
members
who
rightly
pointed
out
that
Vision
zero
issues
go
beyond
Waste.
Management,
safe,
complete
streets
need
to
be
a
cohesive
Citywide
strategy.
Individual
departments
can
make
important
improvements
and
I
stand
by
my
comments
about
what
iwn
can
do
on
their
own,
but
in
many
cases
there
must
be
cooperative
and
symbiotic
programs
to
enhance
safety.
AI
Every
single
Department
in
this
city,
unless
they
don't
operate
any
services
in
or
near
the
public
right-of-way
needs
to
be
proactively
identifying
and
delivering
structural
changes
ASAP
at
every
available
opportunity.
No
one
can
be
saying
not
my
problem
or
nothing.
I
can
do
about
that,
and
the
city
manager
and
Council
need
to
hold
departments
accountable
to
that
on
streets
with
parking
and
unprotected
bike.
Lanes
dot
can
paint
red
zones
by
each
driveway
large
enough
for
trash
bins.
AI
Convert
simple
bike:
Lanes
into
buffered
bike
Lanes
with
buffers
wide
enough
to
contain
bins,
plus
extra
room,
multi-family
and
Commercial
areas
need
dedicated
zones
for
dumpster,
set
outs,
delivery
vehicles
and
so
on.
The
downtown
core
around
San
Fernando
does
a
decent
job
of
this,
but
more
needs
to
be
done
elsewhere.
Sjpd
should
not
Park
in
bike
Lanes.
Unless
their
lights
are
flashing
and
then
they
are
addressing
an
emergency
situation.
AI
City
manager
must
push
departments
to
Envision
across
Department
projects
and
must
educate
staff
about
safety
issues
and
regulations.
I'd
like
to
call
attention
to
municipal
code,
910
430c,
no
person
shall
place
any
garbage
container
in
any
place
or
in
any
manner
such
that
the
container
impedes
normal
vehicle
to
traffic.
This
includes
bike,
Lanes,
also
California
vehicle
code,
21211c
no
person
may
place
or
Park
any
object
upon
any
Bikeway
which
impedes
or
blocks
the
normal
and
reasonable
movement
of
any
bicyclist.
AI
Unless
the
placement
or
parking
is
necessary
for
safe
operation,
traction
bike,
Lanes
does
not
qualify
for
an
exception.
The
city
website,
page
residential
home
collection
and
set
outs,
indicates
that
trash
should
be
placed
at
the
curb
outside
of
the
bike
lane.
Putting
trash
in
the
lane
is
not
necessary.
Thank
you.
U

Well,
we
already
know
that
you're
somebody's
lap,
dog
homeboy,
that's
obvious,
that's
obvious!
What
isn't
obvious
is
what
the
city
is
going
to
do
about
it.
What
is
this
city
going
to
do
to
amend
those
deficits
that
were
created
intentionally
by
this
housing
department,
I'm,
sick
and
tired
of
this
rhetoric
and
I'm,
sick
and
tired
of
my
time
being
wasted?

Tell
you
a
little
bit
about
my
story

my

that
we
can
continue.

continue
to
Advocate
that
we
get
protection.
My

My

given
birth

His
wife
has
given
birth
to
a
son

I
worry
for
his
safety.
Very
much
because
he's
going
to
be
raised
as
a
very
conscious
seek
surrounded
by
our
prayers
regularly
and
he
will
one
day
be
targeted
and
I
hope.
The
city
of
San
Jose
continues
to
bring
that
awareness
and
helps
keep
us
safe
and
helps
me.
Keep
keep
me
safe
because
I'm
actually
not
suicidal
I,
very
much
want
to
live

I
still
hope
to
see

Hi
Blair
Beekman
for
the
past
10
years
now,
good
guidelines,
legal
processes
and
best
practices
have
been
developing
from
a
number
of
places
at
the
local
level
towards
better
human
rights,
civil
rights
and
worker
rights
practices
in
this
country,
with
the
generational
and
genocidal
events
of
9,
11
and
covid-19
for
the
past
20
years,
there
are
good
guidelines
and
legal
examples
that
can
now
help
that
we
can
help
develop
at
this
time
towards
a
more
open,
shared
process
of
community
dialogue,
participation
and
public
oversight,
and
how
each
local
community
can
begin
to
redefine
and
re-establish
their
own
best
practices
for
a
more
sustainable
future.
AB
It's
either
un
ideas
and
Concepts.
Some
of
them
meant
for
local
communities
is
everyday
persons.
At
the
local
level.
We
should
be
able
to
begin
to
more
directly
ask
the
UN
to
follow
up
to
practice
and
to
be
more
accountable
to
these
good
new
Concepts
and
examples
that
are
developing
at
this
time,
to
not
cause
harm
or
to
people
in
community
decision
making
is
part
of
a
love
life
Philosophy
from
the
city
of
Oakland.
AB
It
is
the
philosophy
of
openness
and
sharing
instead
of
secrecy,
opacity
and
exclusivity
that
I
hope
can
grow
across
the
state
and
Country.
Interestingly,
these
are
the
good
efforts,
also
help
towards
more
positive
economic
models
and
practices
as
well.
AB
I
hope,
the
Lahaina
area
and
the
county
of
Maui
and
Hawaii
will
want
to
consider
and
possibly
begin
to
better
follow
how
the
state
of
California
and
local
communities,
including
San
Diego,
Santa,
Rosa,
Napa,
County
paradise
and
San
Francisco
Bay
Area
are
all
trying
to
better
learn
from
the
previous
mistakes,
both
accidental
and
on
purpose
from
the
previous
decade
in
local
natural
disaster
preparedness
and
planning.
A
good
luck
in
how
we
can
help
well-establishing
current
good
human
rights
practices.
Community
participation
and
planning
can
be
of
help
for
the
future
of
building
effort.
AR
Can
you
hear
me
okay?
Yes,
thank
you
for
all
you've
done.
That
was
I
really
appreciate
the
effort,
just
something
that's
way
off
the
beaten
path:
February
14
1990,
one
of
the
fastest
objects
ever
launched
by
the
human
race.
AR
Let
pretty
much
left
the
primary
solar
system
be,
but
before
it
passed
through
the
rings
of
a
Saturn,
they
turned
it
around.
They
aimed
it
back
and
they
took
a
picture
of
our
little
blue
dot
and
that's
where
we
live.
I
recommend
that
you
look
up
on
YouTube.
It's
called
pale
blue
dot
with
Carl
Fagan
and
listen
to
it
that
that's
a
that
can
go
from
family
level.
All
the
way
up
to
International
level,
considering
that
NASA
was
us
primarily
reinforced
through
people
from
Project
paper.
AR
AR
But
it's
why
people
have
a
hard
time,
understanding
the
government
but
it's
complex
and
whenever
there's
more
than
two
human
beings
involved
in
something
politics
and
complexity
enter
into
it.
But
there
is
one
Real,
Simple
Thing,
we're
all
just
one
major
event
from
being
homeless,
maybe
some
too,
but
major
most
of
us
and
I'm,
including
people
on
the
council,
and
if
it's
an
emergency
and
I
would
say
it
is.
We
should
do
things
like
what
they
did
to
build.
AR
You
know
to
develop
the
nuclear
bomb
or
to
that's
a
dumb
thing
to
say,
but
they
built
entire
cities
in
less
than
a
year.
Of
course
they
have
unlimited
resources,
but
we've
got
to
think
in
terms
of
and
I
I
didn't
run
for
office,
but
I
want
to
help.
Thank
you
have
a
good
day.

AS
Hi
good
afternoon,
I
hope
you
can
hear
me.
My
name
is
Mary
Jane
hatawa
I
have
been
a
registered
nurse
Master's
prepared
UCSF
here
in
Santa
Clara
County
for
50
years
I.
My
specialty
area
was
Psychiatry
and
I
managed
the
unhoused
population
for
one
of
the
major
insurance
carriers,
and
it
was
a
tough
job
and
I
was
unfortunately
terminated
for
going
out
and
trying
to
sending
nurses
out
to
see
these
these
members
because
they
wanted
to
save
money.
AS
Second
of
all,
I
am
a
cat
feeder,
I'm,
a
retired
now
and
I'm.
A
cat,
feeder
and
I
saw
the
report
in
the
San
Jose
Mercury
News
about
the
animal
shelter
and
Maddie's
report
was
done
several
years
ago,
and
there
was
no
follow-up
on
the
auditing
and
animals
are.
AS
Are
cats,
especially,
are
are
dying
in
our
animal
shelter
and
putting

put
on
the
out
on
the
adoption
floor
for
for
adoption,
with
with
major
injuries
as
volunteers
are
pulling
them
out,
and
people
who
are
working
in
the
animal
shelter,
unfortunately
are
being
terminated
for
being
outspoken
and
and
whistleblowing,
and
so

volunteers
are
actually
being
terminated
as
well.

AQ
Hi,
if
there's
one
good
thing
in
the
housing
department
report
and
I
use
this
in
air
quotes,
is
that
it
reinforces
what
Advocates
and
unhouse
people
have
said
for
years.
They
are
not
being
properly
served
led
by
the
mayor,
they're
being
talked
into
tiny
homes
that
lead
to
Nowhere,
millions
are
going
to
vendors,
to
perform
Outreach
to
create
millions
or
sorry
to
millions
are
going
to
vendors,
to
perform
Outreach
to
create
relationships
of
trust
in
an
effort
to
get
people
off
the
streets,
but
these
vendors
have
a
visibly
low
achievement
levels.
AQ
This
isn't
new
information,
Advocates
and
unhoused.
People
have
told
you
about
this.
For
years,
rather
than
change,
this
change
vendors
hold
vendors
accountable.
The
council
sees
to
punish
the
people
who
aren't
being
served.
You
seek
to
segregate
them
into
certain
areas.
You
seek
to
further
stigmatize
them
as
a
monolithic
group,
away
from
all
schools
and
day
care
centers.
Why
do
you
punish
the
victims
of
your
flawed
decision
making?
Why
do
you
punish
people
who
have
tried
your
tiny
homes
have
been
thrown
out?
Why
do
you
punish
people
who
have
housing
vouchers
and
can't
find
housing?
AQ
Why
do
you
punish
people
prns
and
Caltrans
relentlessly
sweep
like
a
cat
batting
about
a
mouse?
Why
do
you
blame
the
victim
over
150
people
have
already
died
on
the
streets
this
year.
Why
do
you
continue
to
kill
unhoused
people
by
insisting
on
continuing
contracts
with
vendors
who
underperform
across
the
board?
Why
don't
you
fund
a
city
county
Committee
of
Staff,
Advocates
and
unhoused
people
to
travel
and
evaluate
other
programs
in
an
effort
to
find
new
vendors
I
know
people
have
suffered
throughout
through
trauma.
They
are
generally
mistrustful.
AQ
They
don't
think
people
will
keep
their
word
when
it
comes
to
helping
them.
It
is
critically
important
that
all
of
who
work
with
them
stay
true
to
our
word
that
we
follow
through
when
we
make
contact
and
offers
of
help.
When
we
break
that
trust
people
can
spiral
further
down.
That
may
be
the
last
time
someone
is
willing
to
reach
out.
