Thank
you,
mayor
I
have
the
privilege
of
introducing
the
what
Kamai
campuchia
krom
Temple,
which
recently
broke
ground
in
my
district.
This
will
be
a
sanctuary
for
our
Cambodian
Community.
While
they
have
been
in
San
Jose.
For
several
years,
the
leaders
were
looking
to
expand
their
humble
Temple
to
support
the
nearly
6
000
Cambodian
residents,
who
call
San
Jose
home,
meaning
this
Community
Practice
therabada
Buddhism.
This
practice
emphasizing
attaining
self-liberation
through
one's
own
efforts
of
meditation
and
concentration
to
attain
Enlightenment
or
Nirvana.
F
We
are
all
born
into
the
cycle
of
life
and
death,
which
Buddhists
calls
samsara
through
theravada
Buddhism,
which
is
the
oldest
form
of
the
religion
practice.
Today,
one
will
learn
Buddha's
teachings
as
close
to
the
original
in
order
to
break
free
from
that
cycle.
These
teachings
preserved
for
over
two
Millennia
are
passed
down
from
Elders
to
the
new
generation
to
help
them
find
the
PATH
towards
enlightenment.
Thank
you
for
bringing
this
sacred
knowledge
to
all
of
us
in
San
Jose,
with
that,
I
am
honored
to
introduce
tentia,
vong,
Tak
and
taytak.
G
Good
day,

today.
On
behalf
of

Temple,
it
is
an
honor
to
giving
the
opportunities
to
share
this
remarks.
We
do
at
the
commencement
of
this
city
council
meeting
as
a
Buddhist

in
the
heart
of
our
beautiful
city
of
San,

I
am
in
mind.

a
consistent
advocate
for
reversing
historical
disinvestments
and
building
the
infrastructure
and
institutions
that
will

a
stronger,
healthier
community,
be

his

there's,
no
denying
that
Danny
is
an
embodiment
of
East,
San,
Jose's,
Spirit
of
advocacy
and
perseverance,
and
now
I'd
like
to
pass
the
mic
on
to
Danny
Garza
himself,
to
say
a
few
words.
I
First
of
all,
this
is
a
wee
thing.
This
is
not
a
meeting
from
the
police
department,
Parks
and
Rec
Tony
Tabor,
the
city
manager,
the
the
city
councils
over
the
years
that
we
have
worked
with
how
about
Transportation
right
I
mean
the
things
that
are
happening
right
now,
and
transportation
are
unbelievable
in
the
East
Valley.
So
this
is
a
big
we
thing
and
before
I
started,
getting
really
choked
up.
I
I
just
want
to
I
just
want
to
thank
the
mayor,
the
city
council,
the
the
department
heads
are
here:
Lee
Wilcox,
also
over
the
years
I've
been
lucky
to
receive
tidbits
of
information
of
questions
to
ask
to
get
action
and
I've
been
lucky
enough
to
to
develop
Kip
Harkness.
You
know
from
the
strong
neighborhoods
initiative
way
back
Sal
Alvarez,
but
but
oh
and
Paul
Pereira,
all
those
were
key
components
of
the
strong
neighborhoods
initiative
that
taught
us
how
to
stand
up
for
ourselves
and
that's
what
we
do.
Thanks.
Peter
I.
I
D
Thank
you,
councilmember
Ortiz.
Thank
you.
Danny.
Congratulations
excited
to
have
Plateau
Royo
and
our
together
SJ
pilot
program
modeled
on
much
of
the
work
you
all
did
through
Sni.
Many
years
ago
we
are
on
to
councilor
Jimenez.
If
you
would
join
me,
we
will
be
recognizing
and
proclaiming
national
service
dog
month.
K
K
So
today,
I
have
the
honor,
the
distinct
honor,
given
a
proclamation
declaring
September
as
national
service
dog
month,
and
we
have
folks
from
canine
companions
companions
joining
us
here
today.
In
addition
to,
obviously
we
got
Sharky
up
here
and
you
may
be
wondering
why
is
a
shark
present
today,
and
so
the
reason
is
that
the
San
Jose
Sharks
have
been
kind
enough
to
sponsor
one
of
the
dogs
and
it's.
A
K
Gill's
floating
around
somewhere
he's
over
here
on
the
side.
So
that's
the
reason
Sharky's
here.
So
thank
you
so
much
for
being
here
Sharky,
you
know,
I
would
just
first
I
like
to
start
with
a
question.
Have
you
ever
wondered
if
there
was
a
dog,
a
type
of
dog,
a
service
dog
that
can
open
up
your
fridge?
Take
out
your
lunch
turn
off
the
lights
open
the
door
I
realize
that
in
fact,
there
is
and
they're
actually
here
today
so
I
think
it's
wonderful.
K
Canine
companions
provides
task,
trained
service
dogs
to
adults,
children
and
Veterans
with
disabilities
and
facility
dogs
to
professionals
and
working
working
in
the
healthcare,
criminal,
justice,
Rehabilitation
and
educational
settings.
Their
dogs,
their
dogs
and
all
follow-up
services
are
provided
at
no
cost
to
clients,
canine
companions,
puppies
or
specially
bred
raised
and
trained
for
their
future
careers.
K
And
if
you
notice
some
of
the
dogs
with
the
yellow
I'm,
not
sure
what
the
what
is
it
bandana
best
bandana
they're,
actually
in
training
and
so
I,
didn't
know
that
until
so
I
was
pointed
out
to
me
earlier,
but
I
think
that's
wonderful.
A
few
facts
about
service
dogs
and
canine
companions.
That
may
you
may
not
know
is
that
64
million
American
adults
and
children
have
a
disability
and
thus
can
utilize
these
dogs.
K
K
before
I,
was
born
just
to
put
in
perspective.
The
organization
currently
serves
people
with
more
than
65
different
types
of
disabilities.
Canine
companions
has
six
training
centers
survey,
the
entire
country
canine
companions
has
more
than
2
800
active
teams
throughout
the
country,
and
they
have
placed
more
than
7
600
teams.
K
Since
their
founding,
there
are
600
people
on
the
wait
list
looking
to
be
matched
with
an
expertly
trained
service
dog,
and
it's
important
that
our
community
understand
the
benefits
and
task
trained
service
dogs
and
the
need
that
the
to
raise
the
awareness
of
the
rights
of
service
dog
users,
including
Canine
Companion
clients.
Please
join
me
in
honoring
service,
dog
teams
and
their
amazing
work
today
by
giving
them
a
round
of
applause.
K
And
we're
going
to
have
Jeanette
say
a
few
words
so.
L
Good
afternoon,
thank
you
for
taking
time
out
of
your
busy
schedule
to
let
us
be
here
today.
I
would
like
to
just
say
personally
that
I
have
totally
benefited
from
service
dogs.
They
have
made
a
big
difference
in
my
life.
I
worked
as
a
teacher
for
30
years,
and
my
service
dogs
carried
my
materials
in
and
out
of
the
classroom
in
and
out
of
my
car.
They
opened
my
lever
door
to
my
classroom
and
they've
made
my
life
independent,
where
I
do
not
have
to
rely
on
someone
to
be
there.
L
K
Thank
you
so
much,
and
let
me
just
end
on
this:
I
asked
if
there
were
any
Chihuahua
service
dogs,
evidently
they
are
just
not
big
enough,
and
so
so
obviously
you
see
a
special
breed
of
dogs
up
here
which
are
wonderful,
so
mayor.
If
you
can,
please
present
the
Commendation.
Thank
you
so
much
and
we're
going
to
go
ahead
and
take
a
photo
up
here.
D
M
Can
I
pull
item
2.13.
D
We'll
do
that
absolutely
okay,
not
seeing
any
others
to
yeah,
no,
no
problem.
Today's
meeting
will
be
adjourned
in
memory
of
community
leader
Dallas
Clark,
who
passed
away
on
August
25th
of
2023.
F
Thank
you,
mayor,
Dallas
Clark
was
born
into
a
migrant
farming
family.
He
was
the
second
youngest
of
14
children
and
was
always
known
as
a
go-getter
who
loved
giving
back
to
his
Evergreen
Community
over
the
years.
Dallas
volunteered
a
spearheaded
and
served
on
a
variety
of
projects
and
committees,
one
of
his
favorite
and
most
cherished
projects
was
for
Halloween.
He
would
spend
hours
designing,
planning,
decorating,
Creekside
Halloween,
haunted
house
for
families
which
showed
a
kind
of
his
passion
for
our
community.
F
It
began
with
his
three
children
who
were
young
and
he
would
walk
them
through
the
streets
of
Creekside
trick-or-treating.
As
his
children
grew
up.
He
began
a
small
haunted
display
in
front
of
his
house
when
each
October
rolled
around
Dallas
would
make
his
annual
trip
to
the
Halloween
store
and
shop
for
New
pieces.
To
add
to
this
display,
eventually,
one
turned
into
two
displays
which
multiplied
into
many
and
compounded
yearly.
Neighborhood
children
would
run
in
fear.
F
Parents
would
scream
with
laughter
middle
schoolers
would
volunteer
to
build
and
execute
the
school
is
gidi
Dallas's
haunted
house
was
a
nightmare
tradition
for
thousands
of
families
for
40
years
during
his
life.
He
was
active
in
at
Quimby
Middle
School
at
Carolyn,
Clark,
Elementary,
School
and
Silver
Creek
High,
School
I've,
heard
many
stories
about
Dallas
and
all
that
he's
done
for
our
community.
He
was
one
of
the
founders
of
keeping
Evergreen
clean,
where
he
would
bring
out
dumpsters
and
do
regular,
neighborhood
cleanups.
F
His
children,
Stacy,
Lori
and
Michael,
were
here
with
us
in
addition
to
his
10
grandchildren.
I
wanted
to
close
a
sincere
thank
you
to
the
Clark
family,
for
your
your
families,
continued
commitment
and
and
service
to
our
community
in
our
deepest
sympathy
to
you
and
your
family,
for
your
loss
and
and
more
more
broadly,
our
City's
loss
and
as
a
representative
for
Evergreen
evergreen's
loss.
So
thank
you
for
being
here
in
our
deepest
condolences.
D
D
F
O
Good
afternoon
everybody,
my
name
is
David
Polanco
I'm
a
54
year
old
lifetime
resident
of
San
Jose,
president
of
the
lowrider
Council
ibw,
electrician
and
I'm
here,
to
represent
the
United
lowrider
Council
I'm
here
to
speak
about
the
the
car,
the
Crown
Vic,
and
this
has
been
something
probably
for
the
last
five
years,
been
in
conversations
throughout
the
city
with
low
rider
community
members,
Santa's
APD.
O
And
finally,
it's
gained
some
speed
and
gotten
to
where
we're
at
today,
I've
seen
firsthand
what
the
in
San
Diego
I've
seen
a
San
Diego
police,
car,
Low,
Rider
car
parked
and
it
was
at
a
show
and
I
just
seen.
The
interaction
between
people
and
the
cars
bring
conversation.
You
know,
Low
Rider
car
is
bringing
conversation.
It
breaks
down
barriers
in
a
lot
of
ways
and-
and
you
know,
I
think
he
humanizes
everybody.
O
They
realize
they're
just
like
us,
you
know
and
we're
just
like
them,
so
it
works
both
ways
and
I'm.
Looking
forward
for
your
support
during
for
this
project
that
we're
gonna
do
that,
we
hope
to
do
and
I
I
think
it's
gonna
reach
a
lot
of
Youth
because,
as
as
low
riders,
we're
role
models
to
a
lot
of
these
kids
and
I.
O
Think
if
we
could
show
that
positive
interaction
between
Santa's,
APD
and
ourselves
that
it's
going
to
go
a
long
way,
and
that's
that's
pretty
much
what
I
was
supposed
to
say.
Thank
you
guys
appreciate
you
giving
me
the
time.
Thank
you
guys.
O
M
You
so
San
Jose
residents,
Community
leaders
and
their
low
rider
Council
returned
here
back
at
City
Hall
on
September
4th,
first
to
celebrate
the
first
annual
lowrider
day
in
our
city
after
the
36-year
ban
was
lifted
last
year.
Today
we
have
an
opportunity
to
take
this
historical
preservation
initiative
to
a
new
level
by
collaborating
with
the
United
lowrido
Council
of
San
Jose.
They
will
be
souping
up
an
old
Crown
Victoria
from
our
sjpd.
M
The
United
lowrider
council
is
renowned
for
its
artistic
and
cultural
contributions
to
our
community
and
this
collaboration
promises
to
bring
together
two
rich
and
diverse
culture
elements.
This
collaboration
represents
a
significant
step
in
building
trust
and
fostering
positive
relations
between
our
law
enforcement
and
the
community.
It
demonstrates
that
the
San
Jose
police
department
commitment
to
engaging
with
our
community
Beyond
its
law
enforcement
duties.
So
thank
you
so
much
for
my
colleagues
for
sponsoring
lowrider
day
in
September.
H
In
order
to
promote
the
rich
lowrider
culture
of
San,
Jose,
Beyond,
restoring
and
preserving
a
piece
of
History,
we
are
fostering
a
positive
relationship
between
our
police
department
and
the
United
lowrider
Council
and
the
entire
lowrider
community
of
our
city.
By
publicly
showing
this
collaboration.
We
are
signal
signaling
that
we
are
moving
us
forward
into
a
future
of
good
relations.
H
D
Thanks
councilmember
and
David,
thank
you
for
your
leadership
in
the
community
and
willingness
to
partner
and
collaborate
and
create
these
positive
conversations,
as
you
put
it
I
think,
does
a
very
exciting
next
step
in
in
the
relationship
amongst
all
the
different
parties
here,
including
our
Police
Department.
So
appreciate
you
being
here
to
say,
say
a
few
words
of
wisdom.
I,
don't
see
any
other
hands,
so
I
think
we're
ready
to
vote
on
the
consent
calendar
because.
E
Q
For
the
clarification
from
Tony
about
the
public
comment
and
calendar,
thank
you.
I
wanted
to
speak
on
item
2.15,
which
is
the
future
of
moto,
multimodal
Transportation
issues
in
North,
San
Jose.
Q
You
know
this
is
a
basically
a
check
issue.
How
do
we
practice
the
future
of
tech
practices
with
scooters,
bicycles,
pedestrian,
walkway,
throughways,
disability
services
and
crosswalks
a
lot
of
good
stuff?
And
you
know
the
tech
that
will
be
around
this
sort
of
subject-
is
important
and,
and
we
have
to
have
good
accountability
practices
with
that
Tech.
It's
not
just
serving
the
tech,
it's
serving
the
accountability
practices,
that's
the
holistic
process.
You
know.
C
Q
Do
we
develop
guidelines
and
policies
that
can
be
clear
and
understandable
and
accessible
to
the
everyday
public
to
create?
You
know
more
helpful,
Transportation
future
without
creating
public
policies,
for
that,
that's
kind
of
you
know
canceling
out
the
process.
So
you
know
the
work
I
do
with
tech,
accountability
what's
available
and
what's
easy
to
do
it's
important
to
do
if
we
follow
except
I,
think
we'd
be
building
that
sustainable,
positive
future.
Q
We're
really
wanting
to
talk
about
and
wanting
to
build,
I
think
it's
really
the
ways
to
do
it
and
I
can't
say
it
enough
what
I
speak
about
every
week
and
I
hope
it
just
makes
sense
to
yourself
it's
totally
decent
stuff,
really
good
stuff.
So
good
luck
in
working
on
it
curb
digitization,
it's
a
new
issue
that
has
to
be
addressed
and
how
accountability
needs
to
be
a
part
of
that
process.
E
R
Can
you
hear
me?
Yes?
Oh
thank
you
also
from
the
Horseshoe
I
agree
with
Blair.
Thank
you
Tony
for
for
making
that
clear
distinction.
We
should
always
air
in
the
side
of
having
more
public
comment
than
less,
but
you
you
accurately
assess
the
situation
and
I
I
extend
my
gratitude
as
well.
R
I'd
like
to
talk
about
a
2.13,
Willow
Street.
Okay,
now
I
talked
to
Amanda
Elliott
Amanda
Elliott
thinks
that
she's
going
to
come
to
that
audio
and
just
decimate
all
of
Willow
Street.
Okay,
you
guys
call
it
revitalization
what
we
call
it
is
gentrification,
that's
what
you
that's!
What
Amanda
Elliott's
doing
I've
sent
emails
to
her
and
she
she
has
me
blocked
I,
wonder
who
told
her
to
block
my
email,
this
lady's
going
around
telling
all
the
business
owners?
R
Oh
yeah,
we're
just
going
to
help
Willow
Street
we're
going
to
help
Willow
Street!
No,
you
guys
got
your
chess
pieces
in
place.
You
don't
think
I
can
see
what
moves
you
guys
are
making
and
I'm
gonna
block
every
single
one
of
them.
That
is
a
historic
district
and
I'm
gonna.
Have
it
sanctioned
as
a
historic
district
now
David
Polanco
talks
a
lot
about
being
for
the
rasa
and
being
for
the
lowrider
Community?
D
Okay,
thank
you
Tony.
Let's,
let's
vote
on
the
consent,
calendar
as
a
whole.
E
S
J
S
Thank
you,
mayor,
I,
do
have
a
presentation.
It
is
my
privilege
to
acknowledge
the
20th
anniversary
of
the
Dr
Martin
Luther
King
Jr
library
today
opened
in
2003
the
King
Library
merged
the
San
Jose
Public
Library,
with
the
San
Jose
State
University
Library,
making
the
collection
and
services
of
both
available
to
everyone.
It
was
the
nation's
first
jointly
operated
library
and
soon
became
a
global
model
for
other
Library
systems.
S
Since
opening
its
doors
in
2003,
the
King
library
has
attracted
over
43
million
visitors
and
hosted
nearly
24
000
programs.
It
has
circulated
more
than
218
million
public
items
registered
over
8.5
million
computer
reservations
and
hosted
over
300
exhibits
that
celebrate
the
city's
Rich
cultures
and
support
our
local
artists
community.
S
The
King
Library
plays
a
critical
role
in
the
economic
Vitality
of
our
city.
It
provides
technology
access,
a
collection
over
350
000
items,
including
items
in
over
90
languages.
It
creates
a
pathway
to
citizenship
for
our
immigrant
Community

Multilingual
programs
that
help
improve
digital
literacy
and
English
skills
provides
free
support
for
job
Seekers,
small
businesses
and
entrepreneurs,
and
is
dedicated
to
the
academic
success
of
all
San
Jose
students.
S
The
King
Library
will
celebrate
its
20th
anniversary
tomorrow,
September
20th
at
1
pm
with
a

the
audience.
So
congratulations
Jill.
D
T
Thank
you,
Mr
Mayor
good
afternoon,
as
recommended
by
the
transportation
and
environment
committee
on
June
5th
2023..
Today
we
present
the
city
infrastructure
strategy
for
your
review
and
acceptance.
I'm,
Kip,
Harkness,
Deputy
city
manager,
with
the
overall
responsibility
for
the
city's
infrastructure
utilities
and
Emergency
Management.
T
Also
presenting
today
is
Erica
garafo,
our
City's
lead
resilience
strategist
and
we
are
joined
in
the
audience
by
Deputy
city
manager,
Rob
Lloyd,
Environmental,
Services,
director
Carrie
romanow,
Public,
Works,
director
Matt
lesch,
Community
energy,
director
Lori
Mitchell
office
of
emergency
management,
director
Raymond
Reardon
D.O.T,
director
John
ristow,
an
airport
director,
John
Aiken.
Who
will
be
available
to
answer
any
questions
you
might
have
about
the
strategy,
so
I
want
to
frame
our
conversational
infrastructure
by
starting
with
the
reality
of
climate
change.
As
one
of
our
colleagues
put
it.
T
Climate
change
is
Humanity's
final
exam
for
the
course
on
Collective
action
problem
solving
at
a
global
scale.
The
chart
here
shows
the
clear
correlation
between
Global
carbon
dioxide
emissions
and
the
increased
temperature
globally,
while
correlation
in
it
of
itself
does
not
prove
cause
causality.
There
is
now
more
than
ample
evidence
and
a
broad
Global
scientific
consensus
that
human
generated
emissions
are
driving
climate
change
and
that
climate
change
threatens
our
health
of
our
planet
and
the
people
who
inhabit
it.
T
In
developing
our
strategy,
we
found
Kate
rawlworth's
conception
of
donut
economics
very
useful,
to
guide
our
thinking.
It
starts
out
with
the
notion
that
last
time
we
checked,
there
was
just
the
one
planet
and
we
are
facing
simultaneous
challenges
to
both
the
people
and
the
planet.
At
the
planetary
level,
she
outlines
nine
aspects
where
our
economic
growth
and
development
are
overshooting
the
resources
of
the
planet,
causing
climate
change,
fresh
water
withdrawals
at
an
unsustainable
rate
and
destroying
wildlands
and
areas
on
which
we
depend
problem.
T
We
believe
that
a
great
city
has
great
infrastructure:
those
often
invisible
networks
of
pipes,
conduits
wires,
roads
facilities
and
natural
spaces
that
connect
us
and
enable
the
daily
utilities
that
make
Modern
Life
possible
every
day.
This
infrastructure
quietly
brings
us
water,
electricity
broadband
and
takes
away
our
sewage
storm
water,
garbage
and
recycling
in
San
Jose.
Our
infrastructure
must
address
these
four
challenges
and
set
us
on
a
course
to
success.
T
So
at
a
high
level,
this
is
the
city's
infrastructure
strategy.
In
a
single
page,
it
is
focused
on
five
objectives:
being
disaster
ready
and
climate
smart,
developing
our
transportation
and
Aviation
infrastructure,
clean
energy,
resilience,
water
resilience
and
restoration
of
the
natural
environment.
T
Each
of
these
objectives
is
supported
by
two
to
four
priority
work:
streams
pictured
below
each
objective.
Each
work
stream
has
a
lead,
a
team
and
some
funding
attached
to
the
work.
These
work
streams
represent
the
most
important
change
initiatives
where
we
need
to
do
things
dramatically
differently
at
scale
to
recharge
our
objective.
T
In
addition
to
these
emergent
to
these
work
streams,
the
strategy
identifies
a
handful
of
emerging
priorities
that
the
city
manager's
office
is
paying
particular
attention
to
and
may
become
formal
work
streams
in
future
iterations
of
the
strategy.
These
include
electrical
transmission
work
with
Partners
in
LS
power
and
Kaizo,
the
California
independent
system
operator
and
electrical
distribution
work
in
collaboration
with
PG
e
and
others.
T
We
also
have
some
enormous
opportunities
at
the
regional
Wastewater
facility
coming
up
in
the
areas
of
land
use
and
economic
development
and
a
potential
update
of
the
master
plan
in
future
years
and
possibilities
for
both
water
supply
and
energy.
It's
important
to
note
that
all
work
at
the
regional
Wastewater
facility
will
will
be
done
in
partnership
with
our
co-owner,
the
City
of
Santa
Clara
and
in
consultation
with
the
tributary
agencies
that
are
represented
on
the
TPAC,
the
treatment
plant
advisory
committee.
T
Finally,
underlying
all
of
this,
these
strategies
are
three
cross-cutting
guiding
principles
to
focus
our
work,
addressing
Equity
issues,
identifying
funding
and
building
the
team
to
deliver
addressing
Equity
is
key
to
this
work,
as
investments
in
infrastructure
have
historically
been
among
the
most
inequitable.
So
our
strategy
needs
to
take
into
account
not
only
historic
inequities,
but
also
work
toward
creating
a
path
toward
Prosperity
through
Workforce
Development.
T
In
terms
of
second
principle,
identifying
funding
funding
is,
of
course,
the
key
to
all
of
this,
and
we
need
to
take
advantage
of
state
and
federal
resources
that
are
out
there
at
this
moment
in
time.
This
year
we
are
strengthening
our
capacity
to
go
after
grants
and
funding
related
to
infrastructure
and
currently
have
a
fuse
fellow
developing,
a
strategy
and
implementation
approach,
the
third
guiding
principle
building
the
team
to
deliver.
T
At
this
moment
it
is
particularly
critical
to
build
and
scale
our
teams
in
clean
energy
and
support
significant
Staffing
Transitions
and
Leadership
transitions
in
environmental
services,
department
and
public
works
department.
So
we
can
have
the
skilled
leaders
and
workers
that
we
need.
I
will
now
turn
over
the
presentation
to
Erica
who
will
walk
us
through
our
implementation
approach.
U
In
addition
to
the
city
infrastructure
strategy
work,
these
departments
are
also
involved
in
managing
numerous
complex
core
services
and
Department
level
change
initiatives.
However,
when
it
comes
to
infrastructure,
this
strategy
and
the
governance
framework
shown
here
is
the
primary
approach
guiding
change
across
the
entire
city
organization.
U
Our
city
infrastructure
team
represents
the
larger
swath
of
staff
that
are
involved
in
and
working
on
these
initiatives.
We
use
our
interdepartmental
monthly
City
infrastructure
meetings
to
engage
in
debate
on
approach
and
strategy,
clear
roadblocks,
to
progress
and
gather
feedback
for
further
Improvement.
U
We
also
hold
regular
field
trips
to
project
sites
and
work
locations
outside
of
City
Hall,
to
learn
about
and
discuss
key
infrastructure
projects
in
the
real
world
context.
And,
lastly,
we
have
hosted
and
will
continue
to
invite
external
stakeholders
to
participate
in
thought
partner,
Gatherings,
where
we
engage
on
the
direction
and
implementation
of
the
city
infrastructure
strategy.
U
U
Each
quarter
staff
comes
up
with
three
to
five
key
results
for
each
work
stream
that
they
will
accomplish
over
the
next
90
days.
At
the
end
of
the
quarter
we
score
ourselves
did
we
accomplish
what
we
said
we
would
and
we
publish
this
keyed
results
quarterly
to
the
transportation
and
environment
committee.
T
This
concludes
our
presentation
on
the
strategy.
The
entire
29
pages,
of
course,
is
available
for
your
reading,
including
the
bonus
10
suggested
books
to
read
on
infrastructure,
climate
change
and
equity.
For
those
of
you
who
want
the
extra
points,
but
we're
here
to
take
any
questions
and
feedback,
you
might
have
thank.
D
E
Q
All
right,
Blair
Beekman
thanks
a
lot
for
the
report,
it's
environment
time.
The
UN
is
meeting
this
week
in
New
York.
All
the
countries
of
the
world
are
meeting
so
good
luck
on
how
to
discuss
sustainability.
It's
important
important
work
and
important
efforts.
Q
What
was
originally
from
also
from
the
un.
They
came
up
with
the
original
ideas
of
tech
accountability.
They
brought
it
through
different
agencies
like
the
ACLU
who
brought
it
to
States
like
Massachusetts
and
California.
It's
from
there.
You
know
they
simply
set
out
a
set
of
guidelines
and
principles
and
ideas
for
local
communities
to
work
out
themselves,
each
individual
Community
to
develop
their
good
practices
and
ideals.
Q
Q
He
did
make
special
allowances
and
made
efforts
to
to
create
a
city,
government
staff
of
Civic,
Innovation
and
groups
who
work
with
back
to
the
basics,
to
be
wanting
to
learn
the
practices
of
how
to
work
with
Community
more
and
how
to
be
open
to
suggestions
and
for
the
future
of
tech
to
be
a
process
of
back
and
forth.
Sharing
of
communicating
and
learning
so
there's
there
was
a
real
commitment
to
that:
an
initial
commitment
and
I
it's
my
time.
Q
This
fall
to
make
to
remind
yourselves
of
those
important
commitments
and
to
want
to
continue
working
on
them
to
seek
advice
of
everyday
community
and
to
make
it
a
two-way
Road
and
how
to
talk
about
tech
and
accountability
as
part
of
the
backs
to
the
basics
process
that
has
to
be,
and
all
the
things
Kip
talks
about.
Accountability
has
to
be
important
to
our
future
goals.
It's
that
way,
I
think,
interestingly,
can
address
the
future
of
environmental
issues
better.
As
with
many
other
issues,
a
responsible
Tech
practices
can
really
help.
J
E
R
Thank
you.
Paul
Soto
from
the
Horseshoe
I
want
to
talk
about
the
evictions
that
are
going
to
happen
as
a
result
of
the
those
garages
that
are
underneath
the
apartment
complexes.
The
Retro
fitting
now.
R
Infrastructure
map
and
plan
uses
the
word
Equity,
but
it's
it
is
designed
to
accomplish
the
exact
opposite
of
what
Equity
really
actually
means.
So
there's
a
perversion
of
the
word
with
respect
to
it
being
used
to
this
kinds
of
policies.
You
see
when
you
look
at
this
policy
accurately.
What
you
will
see
is
the
systematic
way
in
which
the
grandchildren
and
the
great-grandchildren
of
the
campesinos
That
Built
This
City,
whose
parents
and
grandparents
literally
built
this
city
in
the
canneries
and
the
fields.
R
V
Kip
I
want
to
thank
you
and
your
team
Erica
for
the
report.
This
is
this
is
such
important
work.
We
no
one
else
is
going
to
do
it
for
us.
We
absolutely
need
to
strengthen
our
infrastructure
and
improve
our
community's
resiliency
to
climate
change,
as
well
as
natural
disasters.
V
I
just
wanted
to
ask
you
Kip
you
you
had
on
their
the
slide
right
before
you
turned
it
over
to
Erica
about
identifying
funding
sources.
Can
you
talk
a
little
bit
about
who's,
doing
that
work
and
and
what
that
looks
like
and
what
what
our
prospects
are,
because
I
imagine,
every
municipality
is
doing
some
more
stuff.
T
Yeah,
thank
you
for
the
question
council
member
I.
I
would
say
that
the
good
news
is
that
there
are
a
number
of
departments
which
have
very
strong
capacity
to
go
after
funding
related
to
infrastructure
and
I
would
call
out
a
particular
Department
of
Transportation
and
Jessica
zank
and
her
team,
among
others,
for
having
developed
a
very
strong
team
that
routinely
and
robustly
goes
after
the
state
and
federal
funding
that
is
available
and
make
sure
that
San
Jose
gets
its
fair
share.
T
What
we've
identified
is
that
when
it
comes
to
kind
of
the
broader
question
of
other
infrastructure,
we
don't
necessarily
have
that
capability
of
that
capacity
Citywide.
So
what
we've
asked
our
fuse,
fellow
and
and
the
entire
city
team
to
start
looking
at
is
what
would
it
take
to
give
us
the
capacity
to
be
competitive
in
those
grants
to
be
competitive
and
going
after
mechanisms
of
financing
and
funding?
That
would
make
sure
that
San
Jose
gets
its
fair
share.
So
we'll
be
coming
back
with
a
specific
strategy
on
that.
T
But
I
think
a
couple
of
things
that
you'll
see
one
is
we'll
likely
be
going
out
for
request
for
a
proposal
from
Consultants
to
build
out
our
capacity
to
tap
in
Consultants,
not
as
an
ad
needed
basis
rather
than
realizing.
Oh,
we
have
a
grant
I
wish
I
had
somebody
who
could
do
the
graphic,
design
or
I
need
an
engineer
who
can
do
this,
so
we
have
a
suite
and
a
stable
of
people
willing
and
able
across
different
technical
lines,
to
be
brought
on
board
with
a
simple
service
order
rather
than
a
new
contract.
T
The
second
thing,
I
think
we'll
see,
is
some
recommendations
around
centralizing
coordination
and
supporting
the
intergovernmental
relations
department
and
Finance
in
allowing
them
to
be
more
aggressive,
especially
on
those
really
big
dollar
infrastructure
pieces.
That
can
have
a
huge
impact,
in
particular.
What
we're
seeing
at
the
federal
level
is
that
a
lot
of
the
most
competitive
grants
require
30
design
or
some
significant
level
of
design,
so
anticipating
future
budget
cycle.
We
think
that
there's
probably
a
very
strong
argument
for
some
investment
in
that
strategic
design
work.
Now
that
makes
us
competitive
for
10
million.
T
20
million
100
150
million
dollar
projects
down
the
line.
So
how
do
we
will
come
back
with
recommendations
on
how
we
build
the
capability
of
doing
that
without
scattering
ourselves
too
thin
and
just
going
after
every
grant
that
comes
up
or
or
every
smaller
dollar
amount,
which
may
not
make
sense
for
us
to
go
after?
So,
as
I
said,
we've
got
a
fuse,
fellow
working
on
that
we're
going
to
come
back
with
that
information
through
Transportation
environment
committee,
as
well
as
bringing
any
action
that
we
need
on
any
rfps
to
council
as
a
whole.
T
Probably
not
to
measure
T
dollars,
they're
very
well
spoken
for,
but
we
are
looking
at
the
other
pots
that
are
available
and
I
should
say
we're
also
looking
at
sustainable
funding
strategies
that
we
ourselves
could
Implement.
There
are
some
possible
nobody
likes
these
words
fees
and
taxes
and
other
financing
mechanisms
that
we
might
be
able
to
make
sure
we
have
more
reliable
funding
for
the
critical
infrastructure,
so
part
of
what
we're
doing
now
in
terms
of
the
30
design
is
looking
at.
T
V
Thank
you
and
then
I
do
want
to
be
responsive
to
the
issue
about
the
soft
story.
Retrofits,
my
understanding
is
the
work
that
happens
is
more
like
dust
and
noise
work
and
that
wouldn't
actually
trigger
any
kind
of
need
for
people
to
move
out
during
the
time
that
that
work
is
happening.
Can
you
talk
a
little
bit
about
what
a
soft
story
retrofit,
what
the
work
looks
like
and
what
the
potential
is
for
displacement
for
folks.
T
Certainly
the
and
you,
of
course,
you'll
be
getting
a
much
more
comprehensive
report
on
this
soon
at
Council.
But
the
soft
story
retrofit
the
there
are
buildings
which
are
called
Soft
story
buildings,
where
the
first
floor
is
of
different
structural
strength
than
the
floors
above
it,
and
what
that
means
is
when
an
earthquake
hits.
The
large
earthquake
hits
they
sway
at
different
speeds
and
increase
the
likelihood
of
collapse
of
that
building
and
potentially
causing
death,
injury
and
structural
harm
all
around.
T
V
H
Thank
you,
mayor
and
I'll
have
more
questions
in
regards
to
the
soft
story
retrofit
for
the
future
meeting.
I
lived
in
a
soft
story,
building
so
I'm.
Definitely
taking
those
concerns
seriously.
I
want
to
thank
our
staff
from
across
the
various
different
departments
for
putting
together
this
very
thorough
infrastructure
strategy.
There's
a
lot
of
work
that
will
put
us
on
the
path
towards
a
truly
sustainable
and
hopefully
Equitable,
City
I.
Just
had
one
question
regarding
the
building
electrification
action
item
that
we
saw.
H
The
strategy
report
mentions
a
potential
zonal
electrification
pilot
to
repurpose,
PG
e
funding
plan
for
natural
gas
infrastructure
to
further
electrification
and
targeted
areas
of
the
city.
I
wanted
to
ask:
is
there
any
area
of
focus
for
what
areas
this
would
Target?
Is
this
prioritizing
Equity
considerations,
heavily
commercial
areas
or
something
else.
T
Thank
you
for
the
question
two
things.
One
I
don't
know
if
either
Carrie.
If
Kerry
is
here
and
can
come
down
and
address
that
issue
more
directly,
we
are
going
to
be
having
a
study
session
on
the
building,
electrification
and
part
of
the
goal
of
the
study
session
or
special
meeting
is
to
get
your
feedback
and
Direction
on
how
we
should
move
forward.
We
are
taking
Equity
very
much
into
consideration
as
we
look
at
these
programs
and
would
have
some
recommendations
coming
forward.
T
W
Yeah,
thank
you
for
the
question
and
you
know
it's
still
a
work
in
progress
to
be
honest,
and
so
so,
working
with
the
community
energy
department
and
all
the
climate,
smart
teams,
as
kit
mentioned,
when
we
come
back
with
the
building
electrification
study
session,
we'll
we'll
be
seeking
guidance
on
how
to
frame
that
where
we
might
be
looking
to
move
some
things
forward,
but
but
we're
kind
of
in
the
early
stages.
W
But
definitely
our
intent
is
to
include
Equity
as
a
part
of
it
and
ensure
that
we're
building
a
sustainable
and
resilient
City
so
lots
more
time
for
lots
of
not
only
Council
input
but
Community
input.
H
I
appreciate
that
and
I
know
that
our
staff
is
working
as
hard
as
they
can
on
this
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
not
making
the
same
mistakes
as
we
did
in
the
past
and
obviously
East
San
Jose
needs
its
share
of
infrastructure
and
for
whatever
reason
there
hasn't
been
as
much
in
other
areas.
So
I
know
there's
a
lot
of
reasons
for
us
not
to
invest
in
East
San
Jose,
but
it's
my
job
to
make
sure
that
we
do
so
I'll
push
for
that.
Thank.
T
X
Thank
you
for
that
excellent
report
and
prioritizing
the
work
in
different
buckets.
The
area
I
would
have
expected
something
in
the
transportation
and
Aviation
area.
These
are
all
new
elements.
There's
no
Rehabilitation
to
be
done
because
in
every
city,
one
of
the
bigger
part
is
the
traditional
is
the
transportation
area
and
we
have
no
Rehabilitation
needs
or
they
got
taken
care
of
by
measure.
T.
T
We'll
invite
John
down
to
add,
but
I
would
say
at
a
high
level,
one
of
the
biggest
problem
projects
that
we're
doing
in
transportation
has
to
do
with
the
road
and
the
road
free
Paving
and
due
to
years
of
advocacy
and
action
by
this
Council
and
many
others.
That
is
one
of
the
pieces
of
infrastructure
that
I
am
not
worried
about
in
terms
of
the
level
of
funding
and
operational
delivery
on
it,
so
that
the
team
in
the
department
of
transportation
is
doing
an
amazing
job
with
doing
the
street
repaving
and
Rehabilitation.
T
Y
Y
Public
Works
takes
a
lead
on
that,
so
it
identifies
where
we
still
have
deficiencies
in
maintaining
our
infrastructure
and
again
it
goes
across
the
entire
breadth
of
everything
the
city
does
so,
while
Kip
is
correct,
we're
doing
a
great
job
on
Paving
every
Street
in
the
city
over
eight
years.
That
just
means
that
we've
got
to
continue
to
do
that
sort
of
level
of
investment
in
our
street
system.
T
And
then
perhaps
the
other
thing
that
I
would
add
that
is
transportation
maintains,
is
the
sewer
systems,
The
Collection
systems
for
sanitary
and
storm,
and
those
are
very
much
a
part
of
the
strategy,
because
there
are
significant
Investments
that
we
need
to
make
both
in
the
build
out
of
those
systems
and
the
ongoing
operations
and
maintenance.
So
those
are
not
technically
Transportation
but
did
want
to
call
out
Jennifer
Sagan
and
her
amazing
crew
for
all
the
maintenance
work
that
the
sewer
Crews
do,
which
is
absolutely
vital
and
a
deep
part
of
the
strategy.
X
So,
thank
you,
but
the
reason
I
asked
that
question
is
that
when
I
have
any
meetings
with
the
community
traffic
is
one
of
the
most
common
items
in
terms
of
the
need
or
complaint
or
whatever
you
want
to
call
it
and
you're
probably
going
to
be
upgrading
our
traffic
lighting
things.
Like
those
speed
cameras,
those
kind
of
things
are
going
to
come
and
they're
going
to
need
some
money
and
I
don't
see
that
listed
here
in
terms
of
it
unless
it
is
covered
under
some
other
item,
yeah.
Y
We
we
do
have
like
I
mentioned
earlier.
We
do
have
a
an
analysis
of
what
our
overall
shortfalls
or
need
is
for
maintenance
of
the
system
and
all
the
Departments
have
that
so
for
to
the
degree
that
we
can
budget
every
year
to
upgrade
Traffic
Safety
devices
or
new
signals
or
upgrading
a
signal.
We
will
do
that
within
what
budget
and
revenue
is
available
in
that
year.
Do
we
need
more
than
what
we
have
in
terms
of
Revenue?
Y
Yes,
of
course,
that's
why
we're
always
going
after
as
Kip
mentioned,
we're
we're
going
after
grants
for
not
as
much
in
the
maintenance
side,
but
actually
building
new
is
where
the
grants
usually
come
in,
but
it
actually
allows
us
to
upgrade
a
lot
when
we
were
able
to
go
after
significant
amounts
of
grants
that
we've
been
pretty
successful
with
that
so,
but
it
may
not
show
up
all
the
things
you're
asking
aren't
specifically
in
that,
but
they
are
in
our
analysis
that
we
do
every
year
for
what
we
need.
As
as
background
shortfalls.
X
Thank
you,
I'll
be
comfortable
if
that
item
is
covered
under
Whatever
item,
it
is
so
that's
great
because
that
is
one
of
the
common
needs
and
we
have
to
address
that
over
the
next
few
years,
the
traffic
safety
around
the
schools
and
all
that
kind
of
programs
safe
routes
to
school.
So
wherever
you
got
it
covered
I'm
happy
if
it.
Y
Is
coming
yes,
the
one
that
we've
been
speaking
about
directly
on
this
is
we
will
be
bringing
forward
in
this
next
budget
how
to
address
this.
This
safe
routes
to
schools
program
that
the
council
gave
us
direction
to
actually
go
to
every
one
of
the
schools,
so
we're
going
to
bring
forward
some
options
for
Council.
Consider
to
actually
do
that
safe
route
to
school
program.
Z
Thank
you
so
much
and
I'd
like
to
thank
the
team.
This
is
a
lot
a
lot
of
work,
but
it
it's
something
that
is
tremendously
important
for
us
as
a
city
I'd
like
to
move
acceptance
of
the
report
at
this
time,.
D
D
AA
Good
afternoon,
mayor
and
Council
I'm
Matt
Lesh
Public
Works
director
with
me
today
is
Catherine
Brown
interim
assistant,
Public
Works
director
and
Jay
Guevara
deputy
director
of
Public
Works,
both
we're
here
today
to
talk
about
the
rule,
20
program,
the
PG
e
rule
20
program,
and
usually
we
have
an
annual
status
update.
This
year
we
have
a
little
bit
of
enhanced
presentation
about
some
changes
to
the
rule,
20a
and
so
Catherine
and
Jay
will
walk
us
through
that
presentation,
and
here
we
go.
AB
Rate,
thank
you,
Matt
Catherine,
Brown,
interim
Deputy
or
interim
assistant
director,
sorry
just
to
walk
through
the
agenda,
really
quick
with
everybody
we're
going
to
go
over
what
you
know.
What's
undergrounding
the
ABCs
of
rule
20,
the
20b
annual
work
plan,
the
opportunity
that
we
have.
So
why
are
we
bringing
20a
forward
right
now
and
then
the
staff's
recommendation.
AB
So
here
are
before
and
after
images
of
the
White
Road
Project,
this
is
adjacent
to
the
Dr
Roberto
Cruz
Alum
Rock
Branch
Library.
This
was
the
last
completed
rule
28
project
in
2021,
completed
by
PG
e.
So
undergrounding
is
moving
those
overhead
utility
lines
underground,
as
you
can
see
in
the
picture,
and
it
provides
a
more
resilience,
more
resiliency
for
the
city
to
a
changing
climate.
It
removes
an
eyesore
and
also
improves
pedestrian
Mobility
city
council
annually
reviews
and
approves
the
utility
undergrounding
five-year
work
plan
and
we've
completed
136
underground
utility
districts.
AB
To
date
we
currently
have
one
in
construction,
two
in
design
and
two
are
in
the
planning
stage:
the
cpuc
or
the
California
Public
Utilities
Commission
regulates
the
28
or
the
20
program,
rule
20
program
and
PG
e
administers
different
aspects
depending
on
the
a
b
or
c
letter
designation.
AB
Rule
20a
program,
utilizes
work
credits
allocated
by
PG
e
PG
e
projects
are
designed
and
constructed,
or
these
are
designed
and
constructed
by
PG
e
rule,
20
b
program,
utilizes
an
in-lu
fee
program
and
is
funded
by
private
Developers.
These
projects
are
designed
bid
and
constructed
by
City
staff.
Much
like
a
regular
Capital
Improvement
project
developers
currently
have
an
option
to
paint
in
Luffy
of
605
dollars
per
linear
foot
of
property
Frontage.
AB
Now
that
we
have
the
ABCs
out
of
the
way,
this
is
the
rule
20b
work
plan.
This
is
our
every
year
we
bring
this
forward
to
council
and,
as
you
can
tell
by
the
this,
is
very
run-of-the-mill
for
us,
but
we
wanted
to
make
sure
we
bring
this
forward,
which
is
our
plan.
We
have
nine
million
dollars
in
rule
20
b
fund
balance
in
2022..
We
have
about
a
million
dollars
projected
Revenue
in
the
next
five
years
from
developer
contributions.
AB
AB
And
while
our
recommendation
is
to
approve
the
20b
work
plan,
we're
going
to
shift
to
20a
discussion
momentarily
to
talk
through,
you
know
why
now
and
the
opportunities
that
we
have
so
simply
put
it
takes
decades
for
these
20a
projects
to
be
completed.
While
funds
remain
unspent
in
June
of
2023,
the
cpuc
issued
their
final
decision
revising
the
rule
20
program
because
of
oversight
and
Equity
concerns
the
decision
orders
any
work
credits
to
expire
by
June
of
2025.
AB
The
city
currently
has
38
million
dollars,
total
in
work
credits
and
17
million
has
been
legislated
towards
projects.
Therefore,
we
have
a
remaining
21
million
dollars
in
allocations
that
could
potentially
expire
if
no
new
projects
are
allocated
or
no
new
projects
are
legislated
by
city
council
before
2025..
AC
AC
28
projects
valued
at
17
million
San
Jose,
can
legislate
further
to
secure
another
21
million
for
a
full
38
million
in
current
work
credits
and
then,
before
rule
28
program
sunsets,
the
city
council
can
pursue
an
additional
21
million
in
unallocated
rule
28
funding
from
other
jurisdictions.
That
brings
us
to
this
59
million
dollar
opportunity.
AC
AC
Therefore,
the
higher
the
number,
the
higher
the
concentration
of
both
people
of
color
and
low-income
households
in
the
selected
census
tract
we're
also
seeking
approval
to
execute
new
analysis,
utility
coordination
and
public
Outreach
we'd
like
to
revise
the
previous
year's
work
plans
to
establish
the
list
of
districts
to
utilize.
The
full
credit
staff
will
identify
projects
beyond
the
current
San
Jose
credits
to
be
ready
for
any
unused
allocation
of
funds
from
other
jurisdictions.
AC
AC
E
Q
All
right
play
Beekman
here
thanks
a
lot
for
this
item.
We
made
some
pretty
important
changes
and
commitments
to
how
utility
programs
work
in
local
cities
and
under
the
mayor,
Ricardo
Administration.
He
really
helped
emphasize
the
importance
of
City
governments
having
control
more
control
over
utility
programs,
underground
utility
building,
the
future
of
utility,
interesting
choice
and
it's
been
I
I.
Think
it's
a
it's
a
good.
Q
Certainly
different
than
how
we
practice
these
things
in
the
1980s
I
think
we're
trying
to
unify
and
organize
things
a
bit
more
clearly
where
the
free
market
range
of
the
80s
is
now
a
bit
questionable.
Q
So
thank
you.
You
know
it's
with
that.
I
think
accountability.
Practices
lends
itself
really
well
to
these
Concepts
and
and
in
in
empowering
local
cities
by
also
building
accountability
practices.
It's
an
important
part
of
the
future
of
this
of
these
Concepts
and
really
describe
that
you're
going
to
be
seeking
public
input
for
for
the
work
on
this
issue
to
go
to
the
different
neighborhoods,
ask
their
opinion.
Ask
what
works
best!
That
is
our
community.
Q
That
is
exactly
what
I'm
asking
for
I
hope
you
can
do
more
of
that
with
the
future
of
5G
and
not
not
mandate
it
so
much,
but
make
it
more
more
of
a
community
process
where
some
places
may
be
a
little
unsafe
but
another,
since
it
can
be
okay
and
you
but
you're
doing
that
work
here,
you're
talking
to
the
public,
and
that
is
so
key
to
our
future-
that
for
the
back
to
the
basics,
item
and
and
just
positive
sustainability
of
a
community,
it's
vitally
important
and
good
luck
in
building
the
participatory
process.
AD
Yeah,
thank
you.
I'm
I'm,
trying
to
I'm
having
a
bit
of
a
hard
time,
just
understanding
the
distinction
between
a
20a
project
and
a
20
b
project
and
how
we
determine
what
ones
are
falling
in
which
category,
if
I
understand
it
correctly.
20A
is
fully
funded
by
PG
e
and
20b
are
projects
that
we
have
to
fund.
AB
For
the
question
so
rule
20b
is
actually
funded
by
developers
by
private
developers,
so
they
pay.
Typically,
they
pay
an
in-lu
fee
about
per
linear
foot
of
property
Frontage.
They
have
that
option
to
pay
in,
and
so
once
we
accumulate
enough
funding.
We
then
design
and
construct
the
project
similar
to
like
a
normal
Capital
Improvement
project,
but.
AD
AA
So
there's
a
little
bit
of
discretion
as
to
where
geographically
those
20b
are
being
spent.
So
because
it
is
so
broadly
collected.
We
don't
necessarily
Penny
depending
to
the
exact
block,
and
so
it
is
around
that
general
area,
but
it
does
spread
out
throughout
the
entire
city,
and
so
again
they
have
that
choice.
If
their
development
is
within
a
underground,
District
they're
either
required
to
underground
those
utilities
at
their
property
or
pay
that
in
lieu
fee,
and
so
that
in
loopy
is
collected
until
the
greater
block
or
that
area
is
has
the
fees
collected.
AD
AA
Yes,
there
are
in
fact
28
projects
that
are
actively
going
on
now.
There
are
all
these
are
done
very
slowly.
In
fact,
they're
legislated
many
years
ago,
some
of
us
might
have
been
in
high
school
when
these
were
legislated,
and
so,
but
they
are
very
slow,
and
so
we
are
trying
to
put
this
on
a
ramped
up
period
to
meet
this
deadline
in
terms
of
the
expiration
of
dollars.
AD
Are
those
the
ones
that
are
listed
in
the
memo
as
phase
two
on
hold,
because
I
see
phase
one
completed
and
then
phase
two
on
hold
I
didn't
see
any
location
of
I,
guess,
there's
some
that
are
in
design
and
planning
and
one
that's
in
construction.
Is
that
right
and
then
the
rest
are
on
hold
after
that
correct.
AA
AA
AD
AA
The
17
million
is
allotted
for
the
ones
that
are
in
construction
or
on
hold
there's
a
21
million
dollar
number.
That
is
the
ones
that
we
need
to
identify
and
legislate.
That
will
be
coming
back
and
be
working
with
you
all
in
the
community
through
March,
but
then
we're
also
going
to
be
seeking
an
additional
21
million
dollars
worth
of
projects
for
being
ready
for
reallocated
additional
money.
Should
they
become
available.
AD
AA
Correct
so
part
of
it
step,
one
is
for
us
to
have
projects
identified
that
meet
their
criteria
for
being
eligible
for
reallocation,
actually
step.
One
is
to
have
an
active
program.
They've
designated
us
to
have
an
active
program.
The
second
step
is
to
identify
projects
that
meet
their
criteria
for
reallocation.
That's
the
effort
now,
and
so
then
we
can
stack
on
those
on
top
of
the
21
million
dollars
worth
of
credits
that
are
ours
that
are
already
San
Jose
dollars.
Okay,.
AD
K
Minutes
yeah.
Thank
you.
Thank
you
for
the
team
for
briefing
me.
I
I
can't
be
honest
with
you.
I
still,
don't
fully
understand
it
everything
this
is
this.
Isn't
you
know
anyway,
that
I
expressed
that
to
you
and
I'm
just
saying
it
publicly,
but
help
me
understand
so
on
attachment
F
I
see
that
there
there
seems
to
be.
This
is
the
proposed
project
areas,
so
it
says
these
projects
will
replace
existing
projects
and
I
guess
they're
up
for
consideration
right,
I,
think
the
title
was
areas
identified
for
considerations
or
future
rule
28..
K
What
I'm
curious
about
is
I
see
that
there's
different
ways
to
get
on
the
list
if
you
will,
and
so
what
would
be
and
I
see,
one
I
think
there
was
an
area
where
it
says:
Council
was
it
Community
requests,
and
so,
if
we
identified
say
in
South
San
Jose,
District,
2,
hey
these
areas
could
probably
benefit
from
this.
How
is
it
just
an
email?
I
mean.
How
do
we
go
about
that.
AA
So
this
list
is
a
large
collection
that
we've
collected
over
years,
as
you
can
say
that
they
are
sourced
from
many
different
places.
We
are
going
to
be
using
the
criteria
that
is
an
attachment,
a
to
sort
through
them
to
then
come
back
with
a
prioritized
list
working
with
you
to
see
if
any
of
these
pop
up
to
interest
areas,
what
meets
some
criteria
and
then
and
then
propose
a
list,
because
we
also
want
to
look
at
the
engineering
to
see
which
ones
are
actually.
AA
It
is
going
to
be
a
bit
of
a
challenge,
but
taking
this
as
a
starting
point
as
a
launching
point,
there
perhaps
is
other
areas
that
you
or
your
community
will
say
that
are
interesting
to
us
to
look
at
we'll,
try
to
get
through
and
get
some
site
visits
done
and
come
back
with
a
list
of
these
things
we
think
get
to
the
21
million
dollars
worth
of
current
credits
that
we
have,
and
these
might
fit
for
the
reach
credits
that
we
might
be
at
for
reallocation.
Okay,.
K
AA
It
it
all
depends
so
again
for,
depending
on
one
of
the
projects,
you'll
see
is
actually
very
short
because
it's
actually
the
end
of
another
District.
We
actually
shorten
the
district,
because
we
ran
into
a
huge
pile
of
infrastructure
that
we
had
to
maneuver
around
and
come
up
with
a
game
plan,
so
we
stopped
one
district
and
then
added
on
it's
roughly
only
like
three
properties,
it's
very
short,
and
so
it
all
depends.
Some
of
them
can
be
lengthy.
AA
We
try
to
make
them
roughly
in
the
three
to
five
million
dollar
range
in
terms
of
cost
just
to
make
it
manageable,
but
it's
it
can
anywhere
be
from
a
couple
hundred
feet
to
a
couple
thousand
feet.
It
all
depends
on
the
complexity
of
the
project.
Okay,.
K
All
right,
it
makes
sense
and,
and
the
last
question
I
had
is
related
to
just
the
broader
sort
of
topic.
So
obviously
it's
just
even
this
some
of
the
photos
you
showed
pre
and
post
sort
of
undergrounding.
It
looks
more
aesthetically
pleasing
to
have
them
underground.
It
just
makes
the
neighborhood
look
different.
Are
there
any
like
studies
or
anything
done
as
it
relates
to
the
impact
on
the
community
when
undergrounding
happens,
say
social
or
health
or
any
other.
AA
I'm
not
aware
of
any
studies,
but
in
our
revert
back
in
March
we
certainly
can
have
staff
do
some
Recon
and
see
if
there
are
any
one
both
on
you
know,
pleasantness
of
the
neighborhood,
but
also
on
health
and
wellness,
because
if
it
is
making
it
more
walkable,
you
would
think
that
people
would
be
encouraged
to
walk
but
also
impossible
values
of
the
properties
as
well,
we'll
see.
If
there's
any
research
out
there.
K
D
Thanks
council
member
councilor
batra.
X
The
project
list
of
the
proposed
lists,
which
you
have
in
the
in
the
report
here
attachment
f.
Is
that
list
comprehensive
or
is
it
still
being
worked?
More
can
be
added,
can
more
does
the
district
have
any
role
or
Community
has
any
role
in
getting
things
on
the
list
here.
AA
So
this
is
not
a
comprehensive
list.
This
is
a
list
of
proposals
that
we've
received
over
the
years
that
have
not
actually
become
legislated
areas
yet
or
we've
not
done
any
work
on
so
they've
come
from
different
sources,
and
so
we
said,
look
we'll
put
your
your
recommendation,
your
proposal
on
the
list
and
see
how
it
susses
out
against
the
criteria.
X
X
AA
Usually,
it
means
the
latter.
Yes,
as
if
it's
reprioritized
mean
it's
not
prioritized
to
be
elevated,
it
might
be
pulled
down
again.
This
still
is
on
the
list
in
terms
of
this
is
a
this:
is
a
20
b
project
correct,
so
it
is
still
on
the
list,
but
is
not
prioritized
upward.
It
would
likely
prioritize
down
to
the
availability
of
resources.
X
All
right
so
I
think
I
would
offline
pursue
with
you,
because
there
doesn't
seem
to
be
in
either
the
currently
active
project
or
in
the
proposed
projects.
Anything
from
District,
10
and
I
like
to
understand.
Maybe
our
district
is
so
well
done,
undergrounding
that
we
don't
need
any
or
why
we
are
ignored
in
there
and
left
out.
Okay,
so
I'll
pursue
that
offline
with
you
and
not
here.
D
Thank
you
again
for
the
staff
presentation.
I
just
I
should
have
given
you
a
preview
of
this
question,
but
it
just
came
to
me
as
I
was
listening
and
there's
nothing.
We're
going
to
do
about
this.
I
think
it's
great
that
we're
undergrounding
but
I'm
curious
if
it
adds
any
complexity
or
cost
around
repairs
in
the
long
run
as
lines
are
underground.
I
know,
once
things
are
underground,
they
can
be
harder
to
access
or
in
the
case
of
earthquakes,
just
out
of
curiosity
do
we
do.
AA
Do
I
so
just
to
clarify
that
I
understand
the
question.
Do
I?
Do
we
understand
if
it
costs
more?
If
there's
a
repair
needed
in
the
future,
correct
I
would
say
that
so
most
of
this
infrastructure
that
we
would
be
undergrounding
is
probably
30
to
40
to
50
years
old
already,
and
so
it
would
be
newer
than
anything
that
we
likely
would
have
in
that
area.
AA
So
if
it's
a
spot
repair,
it
probably
is
more
expensive
to
a
particular
area,
but
in
terms
of
if
something
falls
down
or
a
cable
falls
down,
it's
not
probably
just
pulling
one
pole
or
one
cable.
It's
likely
impacting
greater
and
probably
in
an
earthquake
area
that
the
pole
shaking
would
cause
bigger
issues
and
if
it's
underground
so.
AE
D
The
ground
right
not
to
mention
fire
risk
and
other
things-
I
mean
it's.
It's
I
think
in
the
long
run
a
net
when
I
was
just
curious.
If
that's
something
from
a
maintenance
standpoint
that
has
to
be
budgeted
for,
but
I'm
glad
we're
doing.
This
appreciate
the
presentation,
despite
the
complexity
as
councilman
Cohen
and
Jimenez
referenced,
it's
a
little
hard
to
wrap
our
heads
around.
But
thanks
for
for
being
proactive
on
this
okay,
we
had
a
motion.
I,
don't
see
any
other
hands.
Why
don't
we
vote.
D
N
N
and
I'll
refer
to
that
office
as
IPA
just
for
convenience,
I'd
like
to
also
thank
in
Alpha
order,
Vivian
doe,
Jessica,
Flores,
Catherine,
McBain
and
Tonya
Robertson,
who
were
back
at
the
office
except
for
Vivian
and
working
doing
their
audit
work
right
now.
We
especially
appreciate
the
support
you
have
given
this
office,
so
thank
you
very
much.
N
I
know
that
this
report
is
Laden
with
Statistics
and
those
I
will
discuss
briefly
and
they
sort
of
speak
for
themselves.
I.
Think
more
importantly,
in
presenting
this
report
I'm
going
to
make
four
important
points
and
give
you
an
overview
of
the
I
of
IPA
I'd
like
to
discuss.
As
the
report
does,
what
this
office
does
and
their
important
work
and
what
it
means
to
the
community
to
have
faith
in
their
Police
Department
I'll
go
over
a
few
of
the
audit
conclusions
from
2022.
N
By
way
of
background,
the
report
notes
that
there
are
three
methods
currently
that
account
for
police,
accountability
and
I'm
actually
going
to
add
a
fourth
that
this
report
left
out.
Of
course,
if
officer
does
something
illegal
on
or
off
duty
accountability
will
be
dealt
with
in
the
criminal
courts,
where
the
burden
of
proof
for
the
prosecutor
is
beyond
A
Reasonable
Doubt.
N
If
an
officer
on
or
off
duty
injures
a
member
of
the
public
in
any
number
of
ways,
there
can
be
a
civil
lawsuit
in
an
ordinary
civil
lawsuit,
the
proof
is
preponderance
and
in
a
civil
rights,
lawsuit
I
believe
it's
clear
and
convincing,
and
finally,
in
San
Jose,
which
is
a
very
Progressive
City.
N
N
N
We
give
input
to
the
allegations
which
I'll
discuss
in
a
minute
we
review
and
have
access
to
the
entire
IA
file,
and
that
includes
all
recorded
interviews
and
body,
worn
camera
I
can
remember
being
at
the
DA's
office
when
The
Police,
Department
didn't
want
to
have
body,
worn
cameras
and
I
think
today
they
would
all
say
it's
the
best
thing
they
have,
because
you
really
know
what
went
on.
When
you
look
at
that
body,
worn
camera.
N
We
are
permitted
to
attend
interviews
that
take
place
in
internal
investigations,
and
not
only
are
we
allowed
to
attend
the
interviews,
we
can
ask
questions
at
the
interviews.
So
that's
a
little
bit
outside
of
our
audit
function
and
we
are
allowed
to
be
part
of
that
investigation
and
it's
a
very
important
tool
for
our
auditing.
N
Ipa
is
allowed
to
give
I'm
an
amateur
at
this
pardon
me.
We
are
allowed
to
give
input
as
to
what
the
allegations
will
be.
So
when
a
complaint
comes
in,
IA
looks
at
it
and
says:
well,
what
is
the
person
really
saying
here?
Are
they
saying
it's
force
or
are
they
saying
it
was
simply
a
bad
parking
job
and
then
we
look
at
it
and
say:
actually
this
should
be
investigated
as
a
force
allegation
and
the
reason
I
bring
up
this
particular
tool.
Is
it's
very
important
to
how
the
investigation
is
conducted?
N
What
questions
are
asked
of
the
officers
and,
ultimately,
what
the
discipline
corrective
action
or
counseling
will
be
so
in
the
example
I
just
gave,
if
a
police
officer
cornered
someone
using
a
police
vehicle,
we
would
consider
that
at
IPA
a
use
of
force
and
not
bad
parking,
and
so
it's
very
important
that
we're
given
that
opportunity
to
label
what
the
actual
allegation
is
going
to
be.
That's
investigated.
N
If
an
officer's
investigation
is
not
completed
within
365
days,
pursuant
to
government
code,
section
3304
or
the
police
officer's
Bill
of
Rights,
there
can
be
no
discipline,
so
IPA
and
IA
have
agreed
on
timelines
for
when
various
portions
of
the
investigation
will
be
completed,
and
both
the
office
of
IPA
and
both
both
offices
failed
to
meet
some
deadlines
and
that
that's
human
nature,
especially
in
an
investigation
things
come
up.
Their
Appeals
people
get
sick.
N
N
So
now
let
me
tell
you
just
a
few
of
the
statistics
because,
as
I
said,
this
report
is
statistic:
Laden
reports
that
were
closed
in
2022
from
citizen
complaints,
the
office
of
IPA
essentially
agreed
71
percent
of
the
time.
N
As
to
the
reports
that
came
from
within
the
complaints
that
came
from
within
the
department,
those
we
agreed
with
82
percent
of
the
time
now,
when
we're
talking
about
statistics,
I
want
to
be
clear
that
when
we
talk
about
cases
closed
in
2022,
those
cases
could
have
started
in
2021
because
of
that
365
days.
So
when
we
talk
about
complaints,
closing
it
doesn't
mean
those
were
necessarily
opened
in
2022..
N
Now
you
will
see
that
16
of
the
cases
were
closed
with
concern
and
14
were
closed
with
the
ipa's
office.
Disagreeing
and
I
thought
long
and
hard
about
this,
but
I
want
to
be
transparent
with
you
that
those
statistics
may
not
may
be
slightly
misleading,
because
there
was
a
decision
was
made
that
if
a
investigation
that
had
been
completed
came
to
the
office
of
IPA
with
only
45
days
remaining
on
the
calendar,
it
was
often
closed
with
concern.
N
The
other
thing
I'd
like
to
point
out
is
that
last
year,
in
2022
18
percent,
there
was
an
18,
sustained
rate
and
I
said
to
you.
The
complaints
come
from
the
very
frivolous
to
the
very
serious,
and
so
many
of
the
cases
obviously
involve
allegations
that
are
exonerated,
but
the
18
sustained
rate
is
the
highest
rate
in
the
last
five
years.
N
Now
I'd,
just
like
to
talk
briefly
about
Force
force,
is
probably
a
a
largest
concern
to
the
community.
Sometimes
forces
Justified,
sometimes
it's
legal.
Sometimes
it's
within
the
policy
and
procedures
of
the
police
department,
and
sometimes
it
isn't
so
we
take
these
cases
very
seriously
and
believe
that
Community
Trust
comes
when
there's
less
Force
used
and
I
believe
that
San
Jose
police
shares
that
belief.
N
The
allegations
of
force
in
2022
were
down
31
percent
from
the
prior
year
and
the
force
complaints
were
down
19
percent.
Now
you
will
know
going
through
the
report
that
there
are
more
complaints,
more
allegations.
It's
because
sometimes
there's
a
an
event
where
numerous
people
will
have
numerous
complaints
about
the
same
event.
N
N
N
N
N
moving
forward.
There
are
a
number
of
issues
that
measure
G
will
bring
before
the
council
measure.
G
is
going
to
allow
the
city
to
expand
IPA
duties,
where
it's
consistent
with
the
charter
and
after
meet
and
confer
with
the
police
officers
so
measure
G
will
allow
us
to
do
studies.
N
For
instance,
you
can
mandate,
studies
from
the
office
of
IPA
and
I
have
just
taken
this
measure,
G
and
and
we've
posted
for
a
position
for
someone
who
can
help
us
with
studying,
in
particular,
the
use
of
force
cases
and
doing
some
data
analytics
on
that
for
you
that
that's
so,
hopefully
in
2023.
We
can
have
more
to
report
along
that
line.
And
hopefully
our
office
will
become
even
more
robust
and
have
better
use
of
our
tools
to
do
thorough
audits.
N
The
third
Point
has
to
do
with
our
beloved
Fourth
Amendment.
There
are
different
ways
that
an
officer
can
search
an
individual.
The
law
allows
pat
down
searches.
If
the
officer
has
a
reasonable
belief
that
he
is
in
danger
and
an
individual
might
be
armed,
that's
well-settled
law.
N
If
a
person
is
on
parole
or
probation
or
has
a
court
order,
a
police
officer
can
search
an
individual
and
if
they
have
been
taken
into
custody,
an
individual
can
be
searched
and
the
rationale
for
that
is
you
want
someone
who's
going
to
go
into
custody,
to
to
be
unarmed
and
to
be
safe
to
others,
be
no
threat
to
others
that
are
in
custody.
N
N
Our
fourth
recommendation:
we
are
simply
asking
for
equality
of
enforcement,
and
that
is
the
department
should
provide
guidance
about
officer
discretion
when
compelling
citizens
to
exit
cars,
to
sign
citizens
to
sign
citations,
and
we
understand
that
oftentimes.
For
officer
safety,
a
citizen
is
asked
to
exit
a
vehicle
at
the
initial
stop,
but
at
the
end
of
the
stop,
when
that
concern
isn't
there,
it
sometimes
can
escalate
a
situation
and
we
would
like
to
see
officers
use
their
discretion
in
a
uniform
manner
throughout
the
city
and
so
we're
asking
for
that.
N
Now
in
California,
you
can
have
tinted
windows
on
the
sides
in
the
back
of
your
car,
but
the
front
of
your
car
you
have
to
have
70
percent
of
the
light
has
to
come
through
individuals,
get
stopped
and
cited
for
this,
because
the
officers
do
not
have
the
tools
to
measure
the
window
right
at
that
time.
So
we
think
it
would
first
of
all
eliminate
unnecessary
citations
and
it
would
give
the
officers
the
ability
to
determine
on
the
spot
if
they
had
a
little
meter
to
read
the
visibility
factor
of
the
front
window.
N
D
You
Karen
and
just
before
we
go
to
public
comment.
I
I
just
want
to
publicly
thank
you
for
stepping
into
this
role
and
getting
up
to
speed
so
quickly.
You've
really
hit
the
ground
running.
I've
enjoyed
our
our
check-ins
I
appreciate
that
you
have
a
team
behind
you
as
you
as
you
recognize.
Thank
you
Vivian
to
you
and
your
colleagues
for
keeping
things
running.
I
know.
D
There's
it's
been
a
tumultuous
time,
but
you
all
have
done
a
great
job
of
stabilizing
things
and
getting
this
report
and
these
important
recommendations
to
us
so
I
just
wanted
to
take
a
moment
to
thank
you
for
that.
Looking
forward
to
hearing
comments
and
questions
from
colleagues,
but
let's
turn
to
public
comment.
First.
E
Q
Hi
here
thanks
a
lot
for
this
item.
I
have
not
met
the
police
auditor
before
this
is
the
first
time
I've
heard
a
report
and
talking
about
items.
Thank
you,
hello,
I'm,
Brad,
McMahon
I
work
a
lot
towards
future
Tech
accountability
for
local
communities,
so
the
future
of
accountability
and
oversights
are
a
really
important
concept
to
me.
Q
We
just
lost
a
good
assisted
auditor
who
you
know
she.
She
graduated
from
San
Diego
university
university
in
San,
Diego
she's,
complaining
that
that
you
know
you're
not
quite
connecting
the
dots
in
San
Jose
you're
working
your
elite
club
system.
The
way
you
do
so
well
in.
J
Q
Bay
Area,
where,
if
you
have
good
Progressive
policies
and
practices,
you
have
a
tendency
to
like
keep
that
kind
of
like
hidden
and
and
only
secretive
within
yourselves.
You
don't
share
those
practices.
You
don't
work
to
make
an
open,
accountable
process.
The
whole
Community
can
want
to
participate
in
and
that
is
so
key
to
how
we
can
work
well
together.
I
mean
it's
an
old
argument.
You
know
between
North
and
South
California,
but
I
think
you
guys
have
a
serious
issue
with
that.
You
have
to
address.
Q
You
have
made
no
mention
of
what's
going
on
with
the
Police
Association
report
on
the
fentanyl
issues,
just
a
polite.
You
know
acknowledgment
of
that
situation
and
you
have
reports
coming
you'll
be
sharing
with
the
public.
What
you've
been
learning
just
simple
words
like
that
are
so
needed
for
this
sort
of
item
that
you
guys
won't
ever
talk
about
now.
What's
going
on
with
you
guys,
I
mean
you're
not
doing
something.
Correct,
I
think
you
have
a
great
police
keep
right
now.
He
can
really
Implement
some
really
good
future
changes.
Q
AF
AF
We
have
a
lot
of
systemic
issues
in
this
entire
country,
and
my
life
is
in
danger.
Yet
the
police
here
who
get
up
every
day
to
work,
are
required
to
protect
other
people
from
me
where
I'm,
the
one
actually
that
needs
protection
and
two
judges
have
given
restraining
orders
against
me.
I
can't
see
my
son.
AF
None
of
this
is
fair
and
in
order
for
us
to
move
forward,
we
need
to
protect
people,
not
properties,
and
we
need
people
in
leadership
that
are
actually
going
to
do
their
jobs
and
protect
people
and
I
pray
all
day
long
every
single
day
the
FBI
knows
where
I'm
at
they
know
what
I
buy.
They
know
what
I
eat.
They
know
what
I
listen
to
and
they
know
I
go
to
the
San
Jose
Gurdwara
every
day
and
yellow
Jakarta
at
the
end
of
the
night,
in
what
we
call
the
sachkanth.
The
room.
AF
Where
truth
is,
the
truth
is
I'm
a
loving
kind,
mother
and
I
deserve
to
be
with
my
son
next
week,
I
go
to
court
with
my
former
psychiatrist,
who
tried
to
Institute
institutionalize
me
and
has
a
restraining
order
against
me.
I
called
her
and
told
her
she's
schizophrenic
bipolar
and
has
ADHD
breaking
my
restraining
order,
because
I
am
very
mentally
stable.
I
can
control
my
thoughts
and
my
thought
is
usually
waheguru,
so
you
can
always
guess.
What's
on
my
mind,
thank
you.
E
H
Thank
you,
mayor
and,
first
off
I
want
to
start
well
very
nice
to
meet
our
new
independent
police
auditor
Karen
nice
to
meet
you
and
I
want
to
start
by
thanking
both
the
independent
police
auditor
and
our
Police
Department
for
working
together
to
build
and
sustain
public
trust
in
our
our
police
force,
which
is
something
I
think
we
can.
All
agree
is
of
utmost
importance.
H
I
also
want
to
just
mention
my
trust
and
the
leadership
at
our
Police
Department
I
believe
that
they
care
I
believe
that
we
are
moving
in
the
right
direction
and
I
think
from
the
report.
We
saw
a
reduction
of
both
forced
complaints
and
Forest
allegations
and
I
think
that's
something
that
we
should
all
be
proud
of
and
I.
Think
majority
of
the
vast
majority
of
our
police
officers
are
law
abiding
citizens
and
believe
they
want
to
do
good
every
day
they
come
to
work.
H
That
being
said,
there
are
a
few
items
that
came
up
in
the
report
that
I'd
love
to
talk
about,
so
on
page
62
of
the
IPA
report.
It
shows
that
officers
serving
suspension
hours
are
serving
those
hours
on
duty
which
I
don't
fully
understand.
So
after
the
report
was
published,
news
outlets
reported
this
finding.
There
was
a
lot
of
concern.
Some
of
us
got
emails
from
the
community.
So
a
quick
question:
are
these
officers
serving
suspension
at
a
desk
or
is
there
like
a?
Are
they
on
regular
assignment.
AG
Foreign
thank
you
councilmember,
so
assistant,
chief
of
police,
Paul
Joseph.
So
in
the
most
recent
contract
provision
was
agreed
upon
that
applied
to
a
lot
of
other
City
employee
groups
previously,
and
it
allows
a
suspended
employee
rather
than
be
home
and
miss
work
and
be
suspended
and
take
the
financial
impact
that
way
to
take
a
pay
step
reduction,
the
thought
being
we're
getting
the
value
of
the
employee's
work.
But
the
the
punishment
to
the
employee
is
really
the
same.
AG
H
Absolutely
at
the
end
of
the
day,
everybody's
working
people
and
we
want
to
make
sure
they
could
take
care
of
their
family
I
just
wanted
to
fully
understand
it,
because
when
you
first
read
it
it's
like
suspension,
but
in
the
workplace,
so
good,
good
and
and
how
has
that
been
communicated
to
the
the
community,
because,
obviously
there
there
has
been
individuals
saying
things.
So
how
are
we
communicating
that
to
make
sure
that
they
they
essentially
take
misconduct
within
the
department
seriously.
AG
H
Support,
no
no
I'm,
just
asking
questions.
It's
important
for
me
to
know,
and
I
I
appreciate
your
your
answers.
I'm
also
interested
to
see
that
conduct
complaints
are
being
closed
so
close
to
the
year-long
deadline.
I
think
that
you
Karen-
you
mentioned
this
in
your
your
presentation
and
to
a
point
where
IPA
feels
they
don't
have
time
to
review
the
investigation,
maybe
not
yourself
Karen,
but
previous
people
have
stated.
H
Is
there
anything
being
done
right
now
by
the
department
to
try
to
improve
timelines
in?
In
closing
these
cases,
yeah
you're
off.
N
N
We
have
I've
created
a
spreadsheet
where
we're
checking
the
times
of
cases
and
where
they're
going
the
police
department
is
doing
the
same
thing
and
we
are
both
committed
to
making
these
timelines
so
that
both
IA
and
IPA
have
time
to
do
a
thorough
investigation
and
part
of
it
is
just
tracking
just
tracking
where
the
case
is
because
there's
so
many
cases
it's
not
like
they
all
come
in
on
one
day
they
just
trickle
in
constantly
and
then
they
take
different
Avenues.
Some
are
very
easy.
The
frivolous
cases
are
very
easy
to
close.
AG
AG
But
because
of
that,
and
because
of
the
backlog
of
cases
from
the
2020
protests,
we
ended
up
with
an
internal
affairs
unit.
That
was
absolutely
swamped
with
work
frankly
and,
as
the
IPA
pointed
out,
some
cases
that
were
pretty
complicated.
Those
cases
resulted
in
in
terminations
those
cases
resulted
in
suspensions,
but
it
takes
a
lot
of
work
for
the
investigators.
AG
So
one
of
the
things
that
Chief
Mata
did
is
he
assigned
an
additional
investigator,
bringing
it
from
eight
to
nine
and
in
the
internal
affairs
unit
or
working
very
diligently
to
get
the
backlog
resolved.
So,
as
the
cases
come
in
there
isn't
this
timeliness
issue.
I
agree
missing
that
365-day
deadline
is
unacceptable
and
we
did
fail
on
some
accounts
and
we're
working
diligently
to
try
to
not
repeat
those
mistakes.
AG
I'd
also
like
to
point
out
that
I
think
we
have
a
little
bit
better
communication
right
now
on
some
issues
and
with
the
IPA
and
where
there
may
be
disagreement
in
the
earlier.
We
can
address
some
of
those
disagreements
and
and
come
to
a
better
resolution.
I
think
will
help
facilitate
more
timely
results.
No.
H
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
So
much
I
really
appreciate
that
stance.
Karen
a
quick
question,
so
how
you
you
said
a
thorough
investigation
of
these
cases.
How
long
do
you
think
it
would
take
for
like
thorough
investigations
as
cases
arise
or
go
across
your
desk.
N
N
You
review
the
the
interviews
of
the
complainant
and
that
case
can
be
closed
out,
but
other
cases
are
are
extremely
complex.
They're,
multiple
officers
at
the
scene,
there's
hours
of
body,
worn
camera
to
see.
So
it's
very
difficult
to
say
an
investigation
takes
two
weeks.
One
day
it
simply
depends
on
the
situation.
All.
H
Right
what
we
were
hearing
was
that
the
internal
affairs
were
handing
over
reports
with
like
one
week
before
365
days
limit,
and
so
that's
why
I
ask
and
I
appreciate
the
police
department's
stance
on
making
sure
that
we
could
reduce
the
amount
of
time
that
would
that
it
would
take
in
recommendation
to
the
IPA
recommended
keeping
track
of
when
officers
perceive
a
suspect,
is
armed
in
use
of
force
cases
and
when
a
weapon
is
found
at
the
scene.
H
The
report
also
said
that
in
2021,
the
most
recent
year
available
to
review
this
data
that
suspects
armed
with
weapons
were
found
in
only
four
percent
of
use
of
force
incidence.
Incidences
I
wanted
to
ask.
Is
it
possible
possible
to
provide
more
oversight
into
how
these
reports
are
filled
out
to
make
sure
that
what
weapons
are
found
in
use
of
force?
Cases
are
actually
reported.
N
H
But
sometimes
the
detail
isn't
always
included
in
the
report
is:
what
is
what
I'm
trying
to
get
to
in
regards
to
whether
there
was
weapons
there
or
not?.
H
Kind
of
ask
that
question.
Please
so
I
stated
some
data
in
regards
to
the
perceived
weapons
during
stops
and
and
searches.
I
just
wanted
to
ask:
is
it
possible
to
provide
more
oversight
into
how
these
reports
are
filled
out
to
make
sure
that
what
weapons
are
found
in
use
of
force?
Cases
are
more
accurately
reported?
Yes,.
AG
H
D
Thank
you
councilmember.
You
know
one
of
the
items
councilor
Ortiz
just
hit
on
that
I
just
wanted
to
highlight
briefly,
is
I
appreciate
and
what
I've
heard
and
checking
in
with
with
both
Karen
and
in
this
new
role
and
and
our
Police
Department
is
that
you
all
have
identified
some
improvements
in
communication
and
workflow
as
as
IPA
and
IA
work
together
and
have
resolved
some
long-standing
challenges
around
just
how
quickly
things
get
turned
around
and
just
removing
barriers
to
a
good
process
which
is,
at
the
end
of
the
day.
D
What
I
think
we
all
need
to
be
committed
to
so
I
appreciate
Council
for
highlighting
that,
but
also
the
work
that's
been
done
this
year
to
improve
the
process
on
both
ends.
By
the
way
we
should
acknowledge
when
there's
a
delay,
it's
not
always
necessarily
on
the
on
the
Ia
or
PD
side.
It
could
be
on
the
IPA
side
so
appreciate
that
we're
making
progress
there
I
want
to
turn
to
vice
mayor
command.
Next.
Z
Foreign,
thank
you
so
much
and
thank
you
so
much
for
the
report
and
your
work
and
you
know
definitely
appreciate
the
the
improvements
you
know
that
have
come
forward
and
areas
that
that
can
be
changed.
Z
I
was
wondering
in
terms
of
there's
a
there's,
a
lot
of
information
and
data
and
I'm
just
wondering
in
terms
of
you
know
the
best
use
of
technology
to
be
able
to
track
some
of
these
things,
because
it
sounds
like
at
some
point.
It
can
be
tremendously
overwhelming
so
on
both
sides,
I'm
kind
of
looking
at
is
there
also
an
area
of
improvement
in
using
better
technology,
different
technology
to
be
able
to
to
help
with
that.
Well,.
N
Z
N
Yes,
we
do
have
that,
then,
within
the
office
of
the
independent
police
auditor,
we
have
a
program
called
audit
tracker
and
when
we
close
a
case
we
put
in
data
and
that's
where
we
that's,
where
the
statistics
for
2022
came,
the
brains
of
the
outfit
is
Vivian
here.
She
she
she,
you
know,
runs
all
those
stats
for
us,
but
we
collect
them
electronically.
Great.
Z
Great
well
I'm
I'm
pleased
to
know
that
it
is
shared
information
and
that
it
can
be
accessible
to
both
I
really
appreciate
the
improvements.
I
appreciate
my
colleague
council
member
Ortiz's
questions,
because
I
think
that
you
know
we've
had
a
lot
of
question
marks
before
and
at
this
time,
I
would
like
to
move
the
acceptance
of
the
2022
independent
police
auditor.
The
report,
as
well
as
the
San
Jose
police
department's
responses
to
the
recommendations.
X
X
N
X
X
X
Yes,
yes,
when
I
initially
had
discussions
with
the
IPA
and
to
the
police
chief,
one
of
the
biggest
problem
area
was
the
step
number
four
step.
Number
four
was
the
IPA
review
and
appeal,
and
because
of
that
IPA
review
and
appeal
coming
so
late
in
the
game.
If
the
report
was
given
by
the
IA,
there
was
not
enough
time,
some
of
the
times
or
the
most
of
the
time
left
for
IPA
to
make
an
appeal
and
still
get
the
work
completed
in
365
days,
and
hence
the
disciplinary
action
if
required,
could
not
be
made.
X
X
N
Actually,
the
IPA
becomes
involved
very
early
on
when
we
are
allowed
to
review
the
complaints
coming
in
to
Internal
Affairs,
and
at
that
time
we
are
allowed
to
say
we
think
the
following
allegations
should
be
investigated
and
so
we're
we're
starting
early
on
to
be
part
of
the
investigation
and
auditing
that
to
see
whether
it's
fair,
thorough
and
complete.
We
also
part
of
the
investigation
going
on
is
the
interview
we
are
allowed
to
attend
the
interview
and
to
ask
questions.
So
IPA
is
involved
early
and
I
think
I
think
in
2022.
N
Z
X
Confidence,
you
have
stated
it.
My
clarification
is
that
that
was
not
the
process
in
2022.
Was
it
because
I
was
talking
with
the
chief
exactly
that
the
wise
IPA
not
involved
early,
so
I
just
want
to
be
clear
that
that
is
what
the
new
thing
is,
which
should
give
us
the
confidence,
because
you're
not
going
to
come
200
days
into
the
thing
and
be
still
disagreeing
on
what
the
charge
should
be
or
what
should
be
investigated.
That
was
a
big
contention
at
that
point
in
time,
council.
S
Thank
you,
I
just
want
to
clarify
and
I
I
agree.
We
have
we've
changed.
There's
been
concerns
about
the
dates
for
quite
a
long
time
in
the
timelines
and
I
think
that's
been
worked
out
and
both
sides
are
committed
to
those
dates.
On
the
on
step,
four
on
the
appeal
process:
there's
appeal
to
the
chief
of
police
and
there's
a
process
to
that.
You
had
an
on-slide
appeal
to
the
city
manager
and
there
has
been
times
where
I
am
when
I
was
I'm.
The
last
stop
on
an
appeal.
S
It
would
come
to
me
extraordinarily
late,
but
I
just
want
you
to
know
that
we
worked
with
the
police
department
and
the
IPA,
so
I
mean
I
worked
with
them.
So
I
had
made
sure
that
we
didn't
have
that
365
day.
Timeline
expired
where
we
couldn't
take
a
disciplinary
action
if
necessary,
and
this
whole
tightness
of
the
timeline
really
squeezed
me
to
be
able
to
do
appropriate
analysis
of
the
appeal
and
so
having
this.
This
process
changed
as
the
IPA
has
described.
S
It's
going
to
help
the
entire
process
all
the
way
up
to
the
final
appeal,
because
often
I
was
very
very
squeezed
on
giving
my
final
appeal
decision
on
those
cases.
So
I
just
want
to
give
you
confidence
that
that
I
have
not
had
that
issue
in
quite
a
while,
and
so,
but
there
was
when
I.
First,
the
first
year
of
my
tenure
city
manager,
it
was
there
was
a
few
appeals
and
I
was
very
squeezed
at
the
end,
but
we
were
very
committed
to
making
sure
that
we
didn't
run
out
of
that
timeline.
X
X
In
fact,
I
gave
a
speech
on
that
one
at
one
place
that
why
doesn't
the
IPA
and
the
police
agree
on
what
they
need
to
investigate
right
from
the
beginning,
so
the
200
days
later
you're
still
not
having
a
disagreement
or
what
should
I
mean
the
charges
so
so
I'm
glad
that
that's
where
you're
gone
and
and
I'm
pretty
confident
the
results
are
going
to
be
good.
So
thanks
for
the
process,
Improvement
and
hence
the
impact
on
the
community.
Thank
you.
Okay,.
M
Great,
thank
you.
Thank
you
to
our
IPA
and
our
Police
Department
for
for
being
here
and
doing
this
presentation.
I
actually
just
have
two
questions.
I
think
one
of
them
is
related
to
sjpd
and
then
the
other
one
will
will
be
for
whomever
may
be
able
to
answer
it
because
not
sure
who,
who
would
be
directed
to
so
with
recommendation
for
assistant
Chief
Joseph
I've
been
stopped
more
than
a
handful
of
times
and
in
recommendation
four
right
does
this?
M
Does
recommendation
for
clearly
establish
a
policy
of
when
because
I'm
reading
it
different
differently?
I'm,
not
sure
if
my
colleagues
are,
but
in
the
three
times
that
I
got
pulled
over
all
three
times,
one
I
was
asked
to
stay
in
the
car.
M
M
What
is
when
I
see
and
then
I've
seen
a
numerous
times
right,
I
drive
by
when
our
police
officers
are
are
arresting.
Somebody
and
I
I
also
see
mixed
right.
I
see
people
in
their
cars
I
see
people
outside
their
cars.
I
see
people
on
the
curb.
What
is
the,
what
is
the
exact
policy?
Why
are
folks
on
the
curb?
Why
are
they're
asked
to
sit
down?
I
think
I
think
we're
we're
heading
in
a
good
direction
with
recommendation
four,
but
you
know
I
want
to
be.
AG
Thank
you,
council
member,
so
the
law
allows-
and
this
is
supreme,
U.S
Supreme
Court
cases
allows
officers
to
direct
occupants
in
a
vehicle
during
a
car,
stop
to
remain
in
the
car
and
it
allows
officers
to
ask
the
occupants
to
get
out
of
the
car
and
it's
based
on
officer
safety
considerations,
and
so
it's
hard
for
me
to
give
a
general
statement
as
to
it's
always
okay.
To
do
this,
or
it's
always
okay,
to
do
that,
or
it's
more
likely
going
to
be
that
you
should
do
it
this
way
or
that
way.
AG
AG
In
all
cases,
we
have
to
give
the
officers
some
latitude
in
terms
of
their
ability
to
be
safe
and
what
and
to
we
have
to
trust
their
ability
that
what
they're
perceiving
is
is
realistic
and
that
they,
you
know
they
have
a
right
to
protect
themselves.
I
guess
is
what
I'm
saying,
but
we
just
want
some
more
consistency
and
if
someone's
going
to
be
asked
to
do
one
thing
or
the
other,
either
get
in
the
car
or
get
out
of
the
car
that
there's
justification
for
it
and
then
it's
a
reasonable
request.
Yeah.
M
No
I
think
with
recommendation
for
we're
heading
in
the
in
the
right
direction.
I
mean
I
haven't
been
stopped
in
a
while,
but
you
know
when
when
I
was
stopped,
it's
it
was
always
a
different
time
or
something
different
than
than
than
previous
times
so,
and
so
you
know,
I,
just
I
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
you
know
we
it's
we.
We
are
doing
it
correctly
right
and
that
one,
the
person
who
is
getting
the
citation
feels
safe,
but
also
that
our
Police
Department
feels
safe
and
I.
M
Don't
know
if
the
IPA
wanted
to
say
something
because
it
looked
like
she
did
from
here,
but
then
again,
I
have
the
worst
eyesight
in
the
world.
No,
no
okay
and
then
the
second
question
is
I.
Don't
know
who
I'm
going
to
ask
ask
this
to,
but
I
know
that
San
Francisco
and
Oakland
have
a
like
a
Citizens
review
board
or
a
Citizens
board
on
on
on
police
on
policing.
M
They
even
interview
the
police
chief.
Is
there
a
reason?
Is
there
a
reason
why
San
Jose
has
never
for
us
newbies?
Is
there
a
reason
why
why
San
Jose
has
never
taken
a
look
into
creating
a
Citizens
review
board
like
San,
Francisco
or
Oakland
I?
Think
San,
Francisco
and
Oakland
have
one
and
numerous
other
major
cities
but
counts.
AH
Yeah,
council,
member
Lee,
Wilcox
assistant
city
manager,
not
necessarily
a
Citizens
Review
Committee,
but
following
the
civil
unrest
of
2020
council,
did
Direct
that
the
administration
and
the
IPA
jointly
look
at
investigations
of
police
misconduct
and
and
where
that
is
where
is
the
most
appropriate
place.
So
Council
heard
that
in
December
of
last
year,
2022.
AH
K
Thank
you,
I
look
forward
to
seeing
the
report
come.
October
and
Public
Safety
Committee
I
just
had
a
few
questions
just
more
for
clarification,
so
Karen.
Thank
you.
So
much
I
think
the
mayor
mentioned
this
beginning.
I
appreciate
you
taking
on
the
role
I
I,
know
interim.
A
K
I
mean
no
very
much
appreciate
that
what
I'm
curious
about
is
this
is
obviously
you
know.
This
report
is
counting
the
number
of
pages,
but
you
came
in
obviously
late
in
the
game
right
just
because
of
the
of
the
situation.
How
much?
How
much
did
you
touch
the
report
if
you
will,
as
it
relates
to
the
recommendations
or
maybe
some
of
the
information
on.
N
K
So
that's
what
I
assume,
but
I
just
I
just
wanted
to
make
sure
because,
for
example,
the
five
recommendations
I
didn't
know.
If,
based
on
what
you
had
seen
you,
you
know
you
wanted
to.
You
know
some
of
it
included
sort
of
your
DNA
if
you
will,
as
it
relates
to
thoughts
or
whatever
it
may
be,
and
so
and
I
apologize,
I
missed
that
the
name
of
the
the
young
lady.
Next
to
you.
K
I
I
was
asking
my
colleagues
so
Vivian
you're
with
the
ipa's
office,
so
I
assume
you.
You
did
in
fact
have
your
hands
in
this
report
and
your
DNA
is
sprinkled
throughout
and
so
obviously
the
report
we
come
out
with
five
recommendations
which
I
appreciate
and
I'm
totally
supportive
of
I.
K
Think
it's
all
in
the
right
direction,
but
I
want
to
read
something
to
you
and
then
I'm
going
to
ask
you
why
it's
only
five
recommendations
or
how
you
how
the
office
you
know
to
the
extent
you
know-
or
maybe
you
can
know
Pine
as
to
why
it
is
but,
for
example,
on
page
18
at
the
top
of
the
page.
It
says,
following
the
publication
of
the
IPA
2021
report,
we
have
become
increasingly
concerned
that
the
department
is
not
dedicated,
objective
attention
to
allegations
and
it
goes
on
it
talks
about.
K
We
believe
the
Ia
unit
sometimes
avoids
allegations.
Mischaracterizes
conduct
dismisses
allegations
without
investigations
or
findings
or
on
and
on
right,
so
it
goes
on,
and
so
what
I'm
curious
about
is
I
was
looking
in
there
to
see.
If
that
was
like
addressed
and
I
think
there
was
an
appeal
that
came
before
the
city
manager
at
some
point,
but
I'm
wondering
why
none
of
the
recommendations,
given
that
that's
the
stated
here
in
the
IPA
report
are
not
this
language
and
the
concern
isn't
borne
out
in
a
recommendation.
If
you
will.
N
I
can
actually
address
that.
Please
I,
think
part
of
the
contention
I
discussed
that
went
on
and
the
appeals
that
were
slowing
down
the
movement
of
cases
surrounded
what
allegations
would
be
investigated,
and
this
is
a
very
important
tool
that
IPA
has.
However,
I
believe
there
was
a
legal
misunderstanding
about
in
particular
conduct
on
becoming
an
officer
and
when
it's
appropriate
to
add
it,
and
so
this
is
one
of
the
things
that
stuck
out
to
me
like
it
did
to
you.
N
AI
K
J
K
All
right
would
you
would
you
carry
there's
other
exam,
there's
several
examples
that
are
in
the
report
right.
One
of
them,
for
example,
is
you
know,
I
think
there
was
a
general,
an
officer
that
wrote
his
vehicle
on
a
trail
and
and
I
think
he
hit
the
suspect
or
something
like
that
and
and
there
was
just
different
interpretation
from
the
police
department.
Would
you
categorize
that,
in
the
same
that.
N
K
AG
That's
correct.
We
added
a
ninth
investigator
to
the
team
I'd
like
to
add
also
that
Lieutenant
Zuniga,
who
is
the
unit
Commander
for
the
internal
affairs
unit,
has
done
an
amazing
job
of
recruiting
some
of
our
best
former
homicide
investigators
into
Internal
Affairs.
We
have
a
very,
very
high
quality
of
investigator
in
the
unit
right
now,
which
is
helping
to
move
the
cases
along,
make
the
investigations
more
thorough
and
complete,
and
hopefully
reduce
disagreements
with
the
IPA
okay.
K
And
do
you
think
that
that
addition
of
that
one
position
is
sufficient
to
make
sure
that?
Because
what
troubled
me
as
well
is
just
the
timeline
300
I
mean
just
it
seemed
like
we
were
going
over
time
and
time
again
and
I
heard
your
response.
So
I'm
not
going
to
ask
about
that.
But
do
you
do
you
feel
confident
that
that
additional
position
is
going
to
help
sort
of
clear
the
way?
So
that
way
that
doesn't
happen
or
continue
to
happen?
I.
AG
D
You
thanks
council
member
councilmember,
dwan.
AG
Yes,
I
believe
it's
a
total
of
531
combined
recommendations,
I
I
believe
that's
the
precise
number,
it's
very
close
to
that.
If
not
exactly
right
and
I
know
that
we've
completed
I
believe
over
half
of
those
a
number
more
are
in
process,
some
more
are
awaiting
funding
sources
or
other
things
to
get
accomplished.
So
that
I
mean
that's
been
an
enormous
undertaking
for
us
which
we're
pursuing
as
aggressively
as
we
can.
AG
AI
And
then
compared
to
other
Metropolitan
city,
just
as
large
as
city
of
San
Jose,
what
do
we
rank
in
safety,
wise
and
and
and
also
police
performance
regarding
how
they
treat
our
residents.
AG
Well,
I'm
not
I'm,
not
certain
of
the
precise
data
you're
looking
for
but
I,
but
I
can't
offer
you
this
if
it's,
if
it's
to
maybe
put
a
little
bit
of
context
to
it,
so
in
2022,
San
Jose
police
department
was
involved
in
371,
463,
separate
events
and
we
result
we
ended
up
with
358
conduct
complaints
as
a
result
of
those
371
000,
some
events.
AG
So
in
less
than
one
one
thousandth
of
a
percent
of
the
time
that
we
interacted
with
the
public,
we
got
a
complain
now
I'm
not
excusing
any
of
those
358
complaints.
Obviously
that's
too
many.
We
don't
want
any
at
all,
but
realistically
we
know
we'll
get
some,
but
I
just
wanted
to
offer
that
context.
For
how
often
a
complaint
is
generated.
AI
AI
D
Thank
you,
council,
member,
all
right,
I
think
we're
starting
to
wrap
up
here.
I
I
did
just
want
to
ask
assistant
chief
on
recommendation.
Three
I
know
there
was
a
supplemental
memo
and
I
just
thought
for
the
public
record
and
for
the
council's
benefit,
if
you
could
just
I
think
we've
probably
all
read
it,
but
just
clarify
where
we
landed
in
the
Department's
response
on
REC
3
and
then
Karen.
AG
D
And
on
sorry,
three
I
think
that's
Rec,
four
I
believe.
If
I
have
this
right
and
I
apologize,
if
I
don't
search
on
REC
3.
D
The
custodial
arrest
and
and
when,
when
someone
can
be
searched
and
I
just
because
we
went
from
yellow
to
Green
I,
just
thought
it
might
be,
I
didn't
and
if
I
missed
it
in
the
conversation,
I
stepped
out
for
a
moment
and
apologize.
But
I
just
thought.
It
would
be
helpful
if
we
could
just
clarify
why
it
went
from
yellow
to
green
and
just
make
sure
we're
clear
on
the
Department's
position.
AG
We
wanted
to
get
their
guidance
on
this
as
well,
and
we
want
to
be
sure
that
the
training
that
we
provide
for
our
officers
is
is
clear
and
and
I
think
the
Way
It
Was
Written,
possibly
in
the
recommendation,
might
have
confused
an
officer
that
they
could
not
do
a
search,
except
if
it
was
a
custodial
arrest
with
a
transport,
and
we
just
wanted
them
to
understand
that
you
know
there
were
other
circumstances,
such
as
someone
being
on
parole,
someone
being
on
probation
someone
who
gave
consent
to
the
search
or,
what's
known
as
a
Terry
Frisk.
AG
AG
D
J
D
Okay,
great
just
that
Curiosity
have
have
we
priced
the
window,
10
measurement
technology.
Do
we
know
what
it
will
take
to
implement
that
recommendation?
I!
That's
now,
I'm!
Sorry,
that's
a
probably
a
question
for
the
Department.
AJ
Paul
Hamblin
with
research
and
development.
Yes,
we
have
it's.
There
are
several
products,
there
are
about
four.
That
would
probably
do
the
job
and
they
range
from
about
150
to
250
each.
AJ
If
we
were
to
obviously
infiltrate
our
entire
fleet
or
all
of
our
individual
officers
with
that
it
would
be
very
cost.
It
would
be
very
exhaustive
cost
wise
for
us.
We've.
We
checked
with
four
other
departments
in
the
state,
including
CHP
Los,
Angeles,
Police,
Department,
Long,
Beach,
San,
Diego
PD,
none
of
them
use
it.
They
none
of
them,
actually
use
a
device
to
do
that.
AJ
Agree
with
the
recommendation
in
philosophy
that
it
would
be
a
good
product
to
have
there.
There
really
are
two
different
components
here,
though,
there's
using
it
as
a
basis
for
the
Stop
itself
and
then
there's
using
it
for
the
basis
of
writing
a
citation
and
obviously
we
believe
that
there
are
some
officer
safety
concerns
with
using
it
at
the
beginning
to
to
give
us
the
probable
cause.
For
that
stop.
A
lot
of
our
stops
are
done
by
our
motorcycle
units,
especially
the
stops
that
are
for
those
types
of
violations.
AJ
AJ
D
D
It
okay
great!
Thank
you.
Okay!
Well
appreciate
the
conversation,
all
the
questions,
the
the
great
report,
glad
we
got
to
it
Karen.
Thank
you
again
for
stepping
into
the
role
I
think
you've
been
doing
a
great
job
and
unless
anyone
else's
hand
goes
up,
I
think
we're
going
to
move
to
a
vote
so
Tony.
Why
don't
we
vote.
D
AE
Ahead:
that's
correct
good
afternoon
city
manager,
Maguire
Mr,
Mayor
city,
council
members,
City
staff,
community
members
in
attendance,
IPA,
sununu,
Towery,
Ander
staff.
My
name
is
I.
Am
the
current
commander
of
the
San
Jose
police
department's
Internal
Affairs
unit
I'm
here
to
present
the
Department's
Internal
Affairs
Department
Department
initiative
investigations
report
for
the
2020
2022
calendar
year.
AE
AE
AE
The
department
must
also
hold
its
members
accountable.
Consequently,
diis
are
often
based
on
allegations
which
come
directly
from
members
of
the
department
when
there
are
specific
awareness
of
or
a
belief
that
a
department,
member,
potentially
violated
department
or
city
policy
dais,
may
also
be
brought
to
the
attention
Department
by
another
police
or
judicial
entity.
AE
Diis
are
either
investigated
by
Internal
Affairs
unit
or
by
the
involved
department.
Members
chain
of
command
historically
in
existing
dii
would
be
reclassified
as
a
condo
complaint.
If
the
complaint
was
received
by
a
member
of
the
community
when
the
case
was
transitioned
to
a
condo
complaint,
the
IPA
was
notified
and
may
have
elected
to
audit
the
investigation.
AE
AE
AE
AE
In
conclusion,
in
2022
officers
with
one
to
three
years
of
experience
continue
to
be
the
primary
level
of
experience
identified
in
Department
initiative.
Investigation,
followed
by
officers
with
four
to
six
years
of
experience
procedure,
remained
the
most
common
allegation
when
investigating
alleged
misconduct,
and
documentary
counseling
was
the
most
often
form
of
discipline
imposed.
AE
Furthermore,
the
department
initiated
investigations
continue
to
be
sustained
at
a
higher
rate
than
conduct
complaints.
The
internal
affairs
unit
has
continued
to
distribute
a
monthly
newsletter
attempt,
briefings
and
adaptive
policy
to
conform
with
current
legislation
and
Community
expectations
in
order
to
improve
the
Department's
efforts
of
building
trust
and
confidence
within
our
community.
AE
E
E
Q
J
Q
All
right,
my
Internet
isn't
so
great
these
days.
Sorry
about
that
Cleo
come
through
here,
sorry
to
get
upset
on
the
previous
item.
I
have
a
lot
of
hopes
for
what
the
current
chief
police
anybody
can
work
towards,
and
it's
hurtful
that
you
guys
get
locked
into
your
own
little
system.
You
don't
work,
outwards
yeah.
Q
Holistic
police
Community
experience.
So
with
this
sort
of
item
you
know,
after
the
George
Floyd
things,
there
was
a
lot
of
talking
about
Counseling
Services
for
internal
investigations,
police
overall
to
develop
those
practices
that
you
guys
are
starting
to
do
at
the
time
it
helps
it
can
help
a
lot,
an
openness
for
police
to
be
able
to
talk
to
themselves
and
Trust
in
each
other
really
can
help
a
lot,
and
we
have
to
learn
how
to
mistake
that
sort
of
dialogue
to
happen
and
I.
K
Q
I'm
so
upset
because
you
guys
keep
everything
so
locked
up
and
internal.
We
don't
know
how
to
better,
heal
ourselves
and
counsel
each
other
and
help
each
other,
and
so
you
know
you're
trying
you're,
making
your
steps
and
your
choices
I
just
wish.
It
was
more
quicker
and
faster
and
and
just
more
open-
and
you
guys
wanted
to
willingly
be
doing
this
stuff,
and
so
good
luck
in
what
you
can
do
towards
openness
towards
accountability.
It
should
be
enjoyable
things
to
do
and
it
brings
out
our
better
selves.
Good
luck
in
your
efforts.
AF
AF
Want
to
tell
you
some
of
my
experiences
from
since
last
year
as
I
started
working
on
my
case
to
get
my
son
back,
went
to
the
police
station
to
file
a
case
against
my
husband
for
filing
a
false,
a
missing
persons
report
using
up
resources
to
look
for
me
when
I
actually
wasn't
missing.
I
was
told
that
it's
not
against
the
law
to
file
a
false
police
report
by
an
officer
at
the
police
station,
and
then
he
tried
to
get
me
to
leave.
AF
They
wouldn't
allow
me
to
use
the
restroom,
even
though
other
people
are
allowed
to
use
it,
they
would
intentionally
make
me
wait
longer.
I
had
one
I
asked
him:
did
you
meet
the
psychiatric
requirements
for
this
job?
He
said
with
flying,
colors
and
I
was
like
well,
this
is
a
man
you
guys
have
authorized
to
carry
a
gun.
It's
really
sad
and
I
hope
you
guys
start
doing
your
job
and
make
our
streets
safer
from
the
police.
X
It's
good
to
see
that
the
report,
as
detailed
as
it
is
in
both
in
terms
of
the
reasons
for
the
DIYs
and
the
type
of
people
involved
and
the
training
all
of
those
things
so
dies.
I,
agree
with
you
initiating
those
and
complaining
those
certainly
gain
more
Trust
of
the
people
that
you're
trying
to
provide
oversight
yourself.
You
don't
need
external
people
to
tell
you
having
a
good,
responsible
police
officers.
X
One
of
the
things
I
was
noticing.
Is
that
there's
a
as
you
mentioned
that
the
procedure
is
the
most
common
thing,
and
then
you
also
identified
that
there
was
between
zero
and
three
year
experience.
So
it
looks
like
the
yes.
The
training
would
be
the
answer
to
that
one,
and
so
whatever
you
need
to
improve
in
the
training,
and
maybe
the
refreshers
in
the
training
in
the
zero
to
three
or
zero
to
five
is
really
the
area.
One
would
look
at
it.
X
X
That's
what
we
will
do
in
the
tech
industry.
If
there
was
that
an
issue,
we
will
be
having
a
support
line
which
provides
that
kind
of
Aid.
So
you
may
want
to
consider
if
you
need
to
have
the
level
of
support
available
to
them
from
the
field
calling
for
hey.
What's
the
right
procedure
here,
if
they
are
in
doubt
okay,
one
of
the
things
I
saw
in
the
procedures.
You
also
cover
the
equipment
lost
by
the
police
officer.
X
That
is
considered
a
procedural
error,
so
my
recommendation
would
be
that
that
should
be
broken
away
from
the
procedure.
It
should
be
a
line
item
by
itself,
the
amount
of
or
the
cases
of
equipment,
lost
and
probably
value,
because
I
don't
know
whether
it's
a
cell
phone
lost
or
whether
it's
a
pistol
lost
or
revolver
lost
or
something
bigger.
X
AG
Yes,
so
I'm
not
exactly
sure
how
we
proceeded
and
we'll
figure
that
out
should
that
be
the
council's
direction,
but
I
would
say
this.
You
know
to
your
question
as
to
what
type
of
items
are
being
lost.
Typically,
it
is
things
like
cell
phones,
we
don't
have
cases
of
firearms
being
lost
or
or
other
weapons
being
lost,
I
mean
those
would
be
treated
obviously
far
more
seriously
than
you
know.
AG
X
Yeah,
so
it
would
be
a
line
item
showing
cell
phone
or
equipment
lost,
and
you
already
have
that
available
as
a
detail
in
your
data
analysis,
because
I
saw
some
of
the
cases
clearly
listing,
but
the
categorization
was
procedure.
It's
a
matter
of
categorization,
so
that
would
be
the
breakdown.
I
will
ask
to
be
done.
D
X
D
AG
So
those
categories
are
pretty
broad:
they
cover
a
lot
of
different
things
and
it's
just
really
to
give
us
some
idea
of
the
nature
of
a
complaint.
If,
in
next
year's
report,
you
would
like
to
see
a
further
breakdown
within
procedure
of
when
it
that
procedural
violation
is
the
result
of
lost
equipment,
I
mean
I.
Think
that's
probably
a
data
point
we
could
include
in
next
year's
report.
D
AG
X
K
Thank
you
just
a
few
questions.
The
first
one
is,
you
know
with
regard
to
the
complaints
when
we're
talking
about
the
IPA,
we
were
talking
a
little
bit
about
timelines.
How
things
were
taking
a
little
long?
Do
we
have
a
sense
and
I?
Don't
know
if
I
missed
it
in
the
report,
but
a
census
to
how
long
these
diis
typically
take
and
what
maybe
the
averages
or
again.
AG
It's
it's
really
dependent
on
the
facts
of
the
case.
A
simple
dii
like
an
officer
lost
his
cell
phone
would
be
pretty
quick
and
that's
one
that
we
would
refer
just
to
the
officer's
chain
of
command
so
as
not
to
further
burden
the
internal
affairs
unit
a
more
complicated
case,
maybe
involving
some
off-duty
allegations
and
a
lot
of
witnesses
and
video
to
take
a
look
at
and
things
like
that
would
be
a
longer.
AG
You
know
a
longer
investigation,
certainly
the
more
complex
the
investigation.
The
longer
it's
going.
K
Okay,
all
right,
okay,
and
then
you
know
just
looking
at
the
report.
There
was
just
read
to
you,
so
you
know
exactly
what
I'm,
referring
to
on
page
two
I
think
it
says:
potential
misconduct
maybe
brought
to
the
attention
of
the
chief
of
police
by
Department
member
right,
I
assume
a
police
officer
or
someone
in
the
department,
another
police
agency
or
a
Judicial
entity.
And
so
what
I'm
curious
about?
K
Do
we
keep
track
and
are
we
able
to
see
because
I
think
there
may
be
value
in
that
and
seeing
where
the
complaints
are
originating
from?
Do
you
have
that
readily
available
or.
AG
We
don't
have
that
readily
available,
but
but
this
is
what
I
would
say.
The
overwhelming
majority
of
these
are
the
result
of
a
supervisor
observing
some
sort
of
behavior
that
causes
there
to
be
an
internal
investigation
or
the
result
of
some
sort
of
off-duty
conduct
in
another
jurisdiction
where
we're
notified
by
some
other
agency.
AG
M
Great
thank
you
again,
assistant
Chief
Joseph,
for
for
this
presentation,
I
I
do
see.
I
do
see
some
Improvement.
You
know
it
is
still
a
little
bit
concerning
that.
We
have
over
60
percent.
M
That's
what
you're
titling
it
sustain
rate
when
it
comes
to
police
misconduct.
So
I
think
you
know
as
a
you
know,
department
and
a
city
council,
and
we
have
to
work
together
to
make
sure
that
gets
you
know
lower
because
we
want
to
you
know
we
want
our
community
to
have
trust
in
within
our
police
department,
and
so
I
think
you
know
I
think
we're
moving
in
that
in
that
right
direction.
M
The
the
question
is
I
have
is
I
believe
to
our
City
attorney.
How
much?
How
much
has
our
city
spent
from
2018
to
2022
on
police
misconduct,
whether
it
be
a
lawsuit,
a
settlement,
maybe
not
staff
time,
because
I
think
that's
that's
a
little
bit
more.
But
how
much
has
our
city
spent
on
police
misconduct
it's
from
2018
to
2022.
P
P
M
Great
thank
you
and
thank
you
so
much
for
that
for
that
and
for
that
information,
and
then
us
assistant,
chief
I'm,
I'm
kind
of
kind
of
a
little
bit
perplexed
on
the
allegations
against
our
non-sworn
I
know
our
non-sworn.
Don't
carry
guns
but
I'm
sure,
unfortunately,
there's
bad.
You
know
Bad
characters
ever
everywhere
the
12
allegations
and
that
were
you
know,
12
allegations
against
them.
100
were
sustained,
maybe
I'm
diving
too
much
into
it.
But
what?
What?
What
causes
the
police
department
to
to
I
don't
know
to?
M
AG
U.S
council
member
non-sworn
covers
the
our
professional
staff.
It
has
a
wide
variety
of
responsibilities
in
the
police
department.
Almost
a
third
of
our
I
think
almost
exactly
a
third
of
our
employees
are
professional
staff
as
opposed
to
sworn
police
officers
and,
like
anyone
else,
they're
subject
to
our
duty
manual,
and
they
may
violate
that
Duty
manual
and
those
policies
and
City
manual
policies
in
a
variety
of
ways-
and
you
know
it's
a
smaller
number,
because
it's
a
smaller
percentage
of
employees
within
the
department.
D
T
Actually,
we're
going
to
excuse
me,
kiparkness
Deputy,
city
manager
with
me
is
Carrie
Romanov,
the
director
of
Environmental
Services
and
Regina
Nair,
who
oversees
the
municipal
Regional
permit,
actually
we'll
go
ahead
and
forego
the
presentation,
but
we'll
we'll
make
a
brief
statement,
and
we
are
here
to
answer
any
questions
that
you
might
have
subsequent
to
the
issuing
of
the
memo.
We
had
a
number
of
meetings
with
senior
staff
on
this
topic
and
a
top
line
coming
out
of
those
meetings.
T
We
will
be
revising
the
trash
plan
in
time
for
September
submittal,
September
30th
middle
to
respond
to
the
water
board,
concerns
questions
and
comments
in
a
two-part
approach.
Part
one
is
to
more
accurately
and
fully
describe
what
we're
doing
and
to
clearly
commit
to
measurable
outcomes.
Part
two
will
be
to
demonstrate
our
intent
to
prioritize
and
effectively
deal
with
the
problem
by
laying
out
our
next
steps
to
seek
additional
funding
and
Implement
new
policies
in
coordination
with
the
city
council
to
protect
our
waterways.
T
L
Q
Hi
well
here,
I
wish.
There
was
a
bit
of
a
longer
presentation
on
this
item,
we're
doing
some
pretty
interesting,
a
lot
of
work
with
federal
agencies
around
storm
water
issues
and
traffic.
Q
How
we're
talking
about
the
future
of
a
sea
level
rise
issues,
Around,
The,
Bay
and
ways
to
be.
We
need
to
be
mitigating
that
all
of
that's
becoming
a
bit
more
open
and
and
talk
being
talked
about
a
bit
more
because
of
all
of
these
stormwater
related
issues.
This
fall,
I
I,
would
have
liked
to
hear
a
bit
more
of
a
Public
Presentation
in
all
the
work
we're
doing
on
these
sort
of
things.
Q
Otherwise,
thank
you
for
this
item
and
good
luck
on
how
make
these
sort
of
practices
really
open
and
clear
and
accountable
in
our
future
processes
with
the
public.
Thank
you.
Z
Thank
you
so
much.
This
is
an
area
that
I
think
is
is
so
critically
important
and
I
know
that
a
lot
of
work
is
being
done.
So
thank
you
so
much
for
for
all
the
work
and
the
collaboration
and
moving
it
forward,
and
all
of
that,
so
at
this
time
I
would
like
to
go
ahead
and
make
a
motion
to
accept
the
status
report
as
well
as
approve
the
resubmittal
of
the
permit.
Z
AD
Yeah,
thank
you
and
obviously
we
a
couple
weeks
ago,
we
saw
a
very
thorough.
The
very
thorough
presentation
at
tne
and
I
just
was
want
to
clarify
your
remarks
about
amending
that
was
on
you're.
Not
this
isn't
amended
from
what
was
presented
at
tne.
This
is
just
that.
The
this
is
the
amendment.
AH
AD
Forward
I
just
wanted
to
understand
your
comment,
but
thank
you
and
thank
you
for
the
thorough
work
that
there
for
those
who
didn't
hear
the
full
presentation.
There's
a
lot
in
this
and
so
well
I.
Think
many
of
us
appreciate
sparing
us
the
15-minute
presentation.
We
just
want
to
make
sure
we
appreciate
all
that
went
into
getting
ready
for
this
resubmittal.
So
thank
you.
D
E
Q
Hi
Blair
Beekman
yeah
good,
looking
and
good
practices
talking
about
our
on
how
to
live
by
the
waterways.
Good
luck,
they're
receiving
Services,
you're,
keeping
up
those
sort
of
efforts
and
checking
up
on
them.
Thank
you
taking
care
of
them.
The
three
things
I
really
want
to
work
on
this
fall
is
Tech
accountability.
As
always,
you
know
the
fact
that
that
we
can
have
conversations
about
facts
about
our
Tech,
that
we
can
be
more
honest
and
clear
and
not
afraid
to
have
those
conversations.
Q
I
think
we
all
have
to
make
strides
towards
this
fall.
It's
important
to
me.
We
cut
a
lot
of
corners
and
keep
a
lot
of
things
back
about
how
we
talk
about
tech
and
I.
I
I
think
it
can
be
easy
to
be
more
open
and
honest
about
that
and
I
hope
we
make
those
efforts.
I
can
help
as
much
as
I
can
to
try
to
help
with
that,
because
it's
important
to
learn
how
to
do
that,
and
so
good
luck
in
our
efforts.
Q
I
also
want
to
talk
about
Tech
accountability
with
our
city
government
staff,
who
you
know
were
really
dedicated
to
want
to
be
practicing
with
Community
talking
directly
with
the
community
about
Tech
issues
like
on
the
some
of
the
items
today,
the
underground
services
issues,
real
good
luck
to
really
build
a
dialogue
for
the
public,
I
mean
that's
a
real
important
concept,
I
hope
the
new
mayoral
Administration
wants
to
practice.
They
want
to
practice
accountability.
Man
put
yourselves
to
concentrating
on
Tech
accountability.
Try
that
out
see
what
it
does.
Q
I
think
it's
the
concepts
of
real
positive
Community
sustainability
and
I
also
want
to
talk
about.
It
seems
like
we've,
had
a
very
moving
time
around
the
efforts
of
9,
11
and
and
War.
Q
It
was
a
very
moving
9
11
period
this
year,
so
I
I
want
to
really
begin
to
concentrate
how
to
have
a
an
honest
healing
dialogue,
exactly
what
happened
on
the
day
of
9,
11.
and
I'm
going
to
be
trying
to
offer
some
words.
This
fall.
AK
Hello,
mayor
city
managers,
council
members,
we
have
I
live
in
a
complex
55
and
above
it's
called
umiden.
It's
an
amazing
Place.
18
years
ago
my
mom
moved
in
brand
new
and
they
had
a
situation
where
the
power
went
out.
She
called
panic:
I
go
okay,
I'm
coming
over
I,
get
there
the
place.
The
hallways
staircase
just
lit
up.
I
go
like
wow.
This
is
amazing,
so
I
get
I,
go
up.
The
stairs
lit
up
I
get
to
my
mom
and
she
goes
oh
I'm.
AK
Sorry,
you
came,
she
goes
everyone's
got
their
front
door
open.
They
can
go
yeah.
We
can.
We
can
manage
with
that.
I
go
great
I
moved
in
four
years
ago,
because
I
was
going
back
and
forth
taking
care
of
her,
so
it
made
sense
to
move
in
I've
had
like
a
surgeries,
so
I
loved
it.
We
had
a
power
outage
back
in
March
and
it
happened
at
10
o'clock
in
the
morning
and
everyone's
going
on.
Well
they'll
get
it
up.
They'll,
get
it
up.
Well,
all
of
a
sudden
Kim.
AK
Like
eight
o'clock
nine
o'clock
at
night,
every
I
opened
my
door
because
everyone's
panicking,
you
know
screaming
I,
opened
my
door
and
it's
pitch
black
and
we're
like
great.
So
my
door
is
Right.
Quarter
very
close
to
the
fire
escape
I
mean
the
staircase
I
open
the
door.
The
door
closes,
I
couldn't
even
see
my
hand
in
front
of
me
and
everyone's
trying
to
get
out
and
they
were
trapped.
So
I
got
all
these
kids
were
trying
to
get
their
parents
out,
but
they
couldn't
do
it
by
themselves.
So
I
go.
You
know
what.
AK
Why
didn't?
We
get
the
kids
and
we'll
do
a
human
ladder
assistant
ladder
and
then
we'll
just
help
get
these
seniors
down.
You
don't
know
how
scared
a
person
is
until
they
grab
your
hand
and
that
senior
is
shaking
so
much
because
they're
so
scared
and
all
of
them
are
going.
Thank
you
for
helping
me.
I
go
like
I
have
to
get
out
too
I
called
for
for
a
week
there
for
some
reason
they
just
in
the
last
five
years.
They
just
stopped
doing,
repairs
and
I.
