Good

thank

mayor
for
my
last

I'm
introducing
the
legendary
San
Jose
Taiko,
located
in
our
iconic
Japan
Town
San
Jose
Taiko
celebrates
50
years
of
captivating,
captivating
Global
audiences
and
critics
alike
with
powerful
sounds
of
Taiko,
which
translates
to
the
Japanese
drum.
Please
help
me
welcome
San
Jose,
Tycho.
E
E
E
E
B
Have
a
ceremonial
item
coming
up
that
was
awesome.
Thank
you.
I
think
we're
all
ready
to
have
a
great
meeting
right,
everybody
awake
now.
That
was
awesome.
Thank
you!
So
much!
Okay,
we
are
on
to
ceremonial
items
and
actually,
if
it's
okay,
why
don't
we
councilmember?
If
you'd
like?
Would
you
like
to
join
me?
We
can
just
continue
the
the
momentum
here
with
San
Jose
Taiko,
so
we'll
start
by
recognizing
San
Jose
Taiko.
As
our
first
ceremonial
item
today.
E
E
E
San
Jose
Taiko
was
founded
by
it
was
founded
in
1973
by
Roy
and
PJ
hayde
bayashi,
and
by
Roy
and
PJ
bayashi.
Sorry,
both
important
figures
in
our
San
Jose
Asian
American
and
arts
Community
San
Jose
Taiko,
is
an
award-winning
Performing
Arts
group
that
is
well
recognized
around
the
world.
They
seek
to
bring
people
together
through
cultural
appreciation
and
creative
expression,
as
only
the
third
group
to
form
outside
of
Japan.
They
are
recognized
as
Pioneers
in
contemporary
Taiko.
E
E
The
art
of
Taiko
teaches
the
philosophy
of
attitude,
Kata,
musical
technique
and
key
demonstrating
the
importance
of
discipline
and
respect
to
our
youth.
They
are.
They
are
a
pillar
for
San
Jose,
students
of
all
ages,
encouraging
cultural
pluralism
and
being
a
Gateway
for
greater
communication.
Open-Mindedness
and
connection
through
its
Arts
San
Jose
has
become
a
destination
on
the
map.
San
Jose
Taiko
is
a
product
of
our
beautiful,
diverse
City.
They
remind
us
of
our
Humanity,
they
remind
us
of
who
we
are
and
how
we
are
connected.
E
Pages
are
stuck
together.
Sorry,
we
are
very
excited
for
their
success
and
what
they
have
brought
to
our
beautiful
Japan
Town
I,
truly
believe
that
the
most
valuable
thing
we've
earned,
that
they've
earned
is
the
love,
recognition
and
love
of
our
community.
Thank
you
for
your.
Thank
you
all
for
your
impactful
work
and
Leadership.
It
is
my
honor
to
present
my
first
Commendation
to
San
Jose,
Taiko
and
I.
Kindly
invite
them
to
say
a
few
words.
F
My
name
is
umura
and
I'm,
the
executive
director
and
a
performer
for
San
Jose
Taiko
on
behalf
of
our
board
staff
performers
and
students.
I
thank
councilmember
Torres,
the
mayor
and
the
rest
of
the
council
for
this
Commendation
I
would
be
remiss
if
I
didn't
mention
and
acknowledge
those
who
have
come
before
us,
like
Roy
and
PJ
hirobayashi,
and
our
many
talented
alumni
over
our
50
years,
who
have
laid
the
foundation
for
San
Jose
Taiko.
F
Whenever
we
tour,
we
take
the
name
of
San
Jose
with
us.
One
of
the
most
common
questions
asked
as
we
travel
is
where
sometimes
what
and
even
occasionally
who
is
San
Jose,
our
educational
work
informs
our
25
000,
plus
tour
audiences
of
the
geographic
location,
iconic
landmarks
and
cultural
diversity
that
characterizes
San,
Jose
and
Silicon
Valley.
We
are
an
undeniable
part
of
the
San
Jose
brand
and
representative
of
our
City's
glorious
diversity.
F
Over
our
50
years,
many
publicists
and
booking
managers
have
encouraged
us
to
change
our
name
to
something
more
exotic
and
less
Regional
or
more
appealing
to
the
masses.
Time
and
again,
we
have
decided
that
to
we
need
to
keep
our
name
because
of
the
reputation
we
have
already
built,
as
well
as
the
fact
that
we
are
San,
Jose,
Tycho,
born
and
bred
here.
It
is
this
community
that
inspires
us
and
can
sustains
us
solidifying
our
dedication
to
our
mission
of
advancing
the
Taiko
art
form
and
to
increase
cultural
awareness
and
understanding.
F
We
hope
to
use
our
performance
art
as
a
way
to
move
Society,
Beyond
tolerance
of
cultural
diversity
and
into
spaces
of
true
belonging,
where
each
of
us,
no
matter
our
race,
ethnicity,
gender,
age,
preferences
or
abilities
can
be
our
authentic
selves
and
feel
connected
to
each
other.
So
thank
you
for
this
honor.
We
appreciate
it.
B
G
Thank
you,
mayor,
hello,
everyone.
It
is
my
great
honor
to
Proclaim
Friday
March
31st
as
Cesar
Chavez
Day,
where
we
recognize
the
birth
and
Legacy
of
the
Civil
Rights
and
labor
leader
activist
Cesar.
Chavez
I
have
the
distinct
privilege
of
representing
the
district
where
Cesar,
Chavez
and
labor
leaders,
Dolores
Huerta,
Larry,
itlion
and
Philip
Veracruz
began
the
farmworker
movement.
It
was
their
collaborative
spirit
that
trailblazed
a
new
understanding
of
Labor
and
social
relations
among
the
Filipinos
and
Amer
and
Mexican
communities
and
various
other
ethnic
groups.
G
G
The
story
of
Cesar
Chavez
is
one
that
is
reflected
in
our
community
and
our
agricultural
Roots
as
the
valley
of
Hearts
Delight
from
the
grape
boycott
of
the
Central
Valley
to
organizing
and
establishing
the
United
Farm
Workers.
His
legacy
is
one
that
many
find
strength
in
these
past
years
have
been
a
reminder
of
just
how
much
we
owe
to
our
Farm
Workers.
They
toiled
under
harsh
conditions,
including
fires,
poor
air
quality
and,
of
course,
covet
19..
G
They
were
those
essential
workers
who
risked
their
lives
to
allow
for
others
to
shelter
in
place.
They
made
sure
we
were
fed
and
brought
hope
to
such
a
dark
time.
We
can
honor
the
memory
of
Cesar
Chavez
by
making
sure
we
do
support
their
campaigns
for
fair
wages,
dignity
and
safe
working
conditions
before
I
turn
it
over.
G
My
Council
colleague,
Sergio
Jimenez,
asked
me
to
invite
you
all
to
join
us
during
the
Cesar
Chavez
flag,
raising
on
Thursday
March
30th
at
5
PM
in
the
City
Hall
West
Plaza
it'll
be
a
great
commemorative
event
where
we
will
raise
the
flag
of
farm
worker.
Justice
I
am
excited
to
be
joined
by
Gabriel
Medina.
G
Vice
president
of
the
Cesar
Chavez
Vision,
who
will
be
receiving
today's
Proclamation,
the
Cesar
Chavez
Vision
expands
on
Chavez's
early
work
and
vision
to
create
a
movement
that
improves
the
quality
of
life
for
Latinos
and
working
people
from
initiatives
like
housing
and
economic,
just
Economic,
Development
Fund,
which
builds
and
manages
high
quality
service,
enhanced,
affordable
housing
for
working
families
and
seniors
across
the
Southwest
to
the
education
fund,
which
is
dedicated
to
creating
a
just
Society
by
educating
hearts
and
minds
of
students
and
under-resourced
communities.
The
foundation
is
truly
leading
the
vision
that
Chavez
inspired.
H
Thank
you.
Thank
you
very
much
council
member
Ortiz
to
the
all
to
everyone
on
the
council.
I
feel
weird
having
my
back
towards
all
of
you
right
now.
I
always
tell
my
students.
Don't
ever
face
the
back
of
your
audience
when
you're
speaking
so
I
feel
kind
of
weird
saying
that,
but
thank
you
mayor
as
well
for
having
me
here
today
and
I
just
really
want
to
start
off
by
telling
a
story.
H
You
know
it
starts
with
this
man
that
inherited
land,
along
with
his
four
brothers
from
his
father's
Homestead
in
Yuma
Arizona,
and
while
he
was
there,
he
had
a
farm
where
he
raised
animals
and
he
raised
a
family.
He
was
able
to
have
six
kids
and
have
a
wife
and
flourished
up
until
the
time
of
the
Great
Depression
and
like
many
Americans
at
the
time
could
not
come
up
with
the
money
to
pay
his
taxes
and
unfortunately,
he
had
to
leave
his
home
and
take
off
and
find
a
new
place
to
go.
H
He
ended
up
coming
to
California
traveling
up
and
down
the
coast.
Looking
for
work
working
as
Farm
Workers
the
whole
entire
family
trying
to
find
a
place
to
stay,
it
turns
out
this
man
got
a
job
right
here
in
the
city
of
San
Jose.
Once
he
got
that
job.
He
established
himself
here
in
this
great
City.
H
What
would
end
up
happening
next
is
a
very
significant
event
in
history.
War
would
break
out.
His
oldest
son
would
then
join
that
war
and
be
in
the
Navy
and
fight
in
the
Pacific.
Now
his
son
would
fight
in
the
war
and
come
back,
and
when
he
came
back,
he
wanted
he
wanted
to
promote
Justice
right.
He
was
just
a
freedom
fighter
himself
over
overseas,
so
when
he
came
back,
he
noticed
things
like.
Why
is
why?
Are
there
no
paved
streets
in
his
neighborhood?
H
Why
were
there
no
street
lights
in
his
neighborhood
and
he
started
to
organize
with
the
help
of
a
priest
and
the
help
of
a
gentleman
named
Fred
Ross?
He
was
able
to
organize
this
organizing
flourished
and
he
really
was
really
great
actually
became
a
great
organizer,
but
he
remembered
the
times
when
he
first
got
to
this
great
state
where
he
was
working
in
the
fields
and
the
conditions
that
were
going
on
there
and
he
always
told
himself
if
I
ever
have
the
chance.
H
I
want
to
help
those
people,
and
so
he
got
he
didn't,
take
the
high
paying
job
he
went
and
took
another
job
and
started
a
union.
He
started
the
United
Farm
Workers
Union,
and
he
he
did
it
to
help
these.
These
Farm
Workers
to
give
them
Diggity
dignity
right,
and
so
he
would
later
leave
this
city
to
do
that.
Great
work.
H
H
H
This
non-profit
started
out
just
promoting
and
keeping
the
legacy
of
of
this
man.
Oh
I
guess
you
could
all
know
now
as
Cesar
Chavez
and
this
story
I'm
telling
you
is
all
about
the
Chavez
family.
This
is
how
the
Chavez
family
came
to
San
Jose
and
with
the
non-profit,
They
promoted
the
Legacy,
but
then
they
started
doing
community
work
and
to
this
day
the
non-profit,
Chavez
Family
Vision
raises
funds
every
year
for
scholarships
for
students.
H
And
I
know
some
of
you
are
wondering.
Well,
why
are
you
telling
this
whole
story?
Well,
it's
pretty
simple
to
me.
People
often
wonder
why
do
we
honor
Cesar
Chavez
in
the
city
of
San
Jose?
Well,
it's
really
simple.
The
city
of
San
Jose
has
had
an
impacting
Legacy
on
the
Chavez
family.
Five
generations
of
Chavez's
have
lived
and
thrived
in
this
city
and
taken
up
residency
at
one
time
or
another.
H
I
Yards
that
they
can
enjoy
so
making
sure
that
we
have
spaces
that
people
can
really
enjoy
and
experience
nature
and
have
that
connection
with
is
really
really
important
to
me
and
I
just
want
to
say
an
extra
thank
you
to
Deb
Kramer
and
everyone
else
at
keep
category
beautiful
and
our
president
of
the
board
Tim
McGrady
for
giving
me
this
opportunity
to
live.
Essentially
what
is
my
dream?
So
thank
you.
I
B
Okay,
thank
you
to
my
colleagues
for
those
really
thoughtful
ceremonial
items.
Today
we
are
on
to
orders
of
the
day
and
I
believe
we
do
have
a
couple
of
suggested
changes
here.
I
believe
councilmer
Jimenez
has
submitted
a
supplemental
memo.
Recommending
deferral
of
item
3.6
and
staff.
Has
a
supplemental
memo
recommending
deferral
of
item
6.1?
Nor
are
we
able
to
entertain
a
motion
to
defer
both
or
do
we
need
to
take
those
separately.
L
B
N
Beekman
here,
thank
you
so
much
for
knowing
how
to
ask
for
a
public
comment.
My
question
is:
did
I
hear
you
say
3.6
the
wage
theft
prevention
policy?
Is
that
what's
being
deferred
if
I
may
ask
particularly
okay?
Well,
thank
you.
Wake
step,
I
wanted
to
comment
that
man.
Thank
you
so
much
for
offering
public
comment
on
such
an
item.
It's
a
great
item.
N
It's
a
great
issue
that
I
think
I
think
we
all
have
really
good
intentions
about,
and
we
want
to
really
do
it
well
and
I
hope
in
its
good
work
that
we're
going
to
be
doing
on
this
issue
in
the
coming
months.
That
will
also
a
little
tougher
question,
but
the
concept
of
subcontractor
issues
and
how
that
relates
so
much
to
wage
theft
things.
N
C
O
O
And
city
council
for
your
time
and
attention
today,
my

I'm,
also
a
resident
here
of
San
Jose
for
over
20
years
today,
I
stand
before
the
council
to
ask
that
we
support
the
memo
of
council
member
Jimenez
authored
on
327-23,
requesting
to
defer
the
decision
of
the
wage
theft
policy
in
2016,
the
city
of
San
Jose,
enacted
a
wage
theft
policy.
O
Today
the
council
is
asked
to
vote
on
another
policy
hover
before
you
vote.
We
ask
that
each
of
you
take
a
pause
to
ensure
that
Clarity
and
consistency
of
the
policy
that
is
being
voted
on.
This
revised
policy
has
made
major
changes
to
an
existing
wage
theft
policy
that
has
been
in
effect
for
many
years.
We
need
more
time
to
consider
the
impact
this
revised
policy
will
have
on
wage
theft
enforcement.
There
is
also
a
memorandum,
a
resolution
and
a
supplemental
memo
with
differing
language.

the
council
for
taking
steps
to
address
wage
death
and
I
recognize
the
staff's
hard
work
and
focus
on
this.
I
am
urging
you
to
support
jimenez's
council
member
jimenez's
memo
to
defer
this
item
to
provide
more
input
from
community
members
who
have
expertise
in
public
works,
wage
theft.
Thank
you.

Hi
good
afternoon,
mayor
and
Council,
thank
you
for
your
time
and
attention
today.
My
name
is
Brian
pores
I'm,
a
business
agent
for
UA
Local
393
representing
over
3
100
plumbers,
pipefitters
steam,
Fitters
and
hvacr
service
technicians
in
Santa,
Clara
and
San
Benito
County
I
also
was
born
and
raised
in
San
Jose.
Today,
I
stand
before
the
council
to
ask
that
we
support
the
memo
of
council
member
Jimenez
authored
on
327-23
requesting
for
the
decision
on
Wave
theft,
policy,
2016,
the
city
of
San
Jose,
enacted
a
wage
theft
policy.
U
Today
the
council
is
asked
to
vote
on
another
policy.
However,
before
you
vote,
we
ask
each
of
you
to
take
a
pause
in
order
to
ensure
Clarity
and
consistency
of
the
policy
that
is
being
voted
on.
The
revised
policy
has
made
major
changes
to
an
existing
wage
theft
policy
that
has
been
effect
for
many
years.
We
need
more
time
to
consider
the
impact
this
revised
policy
will
have
on
wage
theft
enforcement.
There
is
also
a
memorandum,
a
resolution
and
a
supplemental
memorandum
with
deferring
language.
U
V
V
The
proposed
revisions
are
both
a
step
back
in
enforcement
and
a
missed
opportunity
to
strengthen
policy
I
support
waiting,
pause,
you're,
taking
a
pause
and
waiting
to
get
more
Community
involvement
in
this
meeting
with
more
stakeholders,
specifically
the
contractors
to
make
sure
that
we
don't
miss
this
great
opportunity
to
to
do
what
has
been
years
in
the
making.
Thank
you
for
your
time.

has
been
in

many
years.
We
need
more
time
to
consider
the
impact
this
revised

will
have
on
waste
theft,
enforcement,
there's
also
a

Yeah
hi,
my
name
is
Danny
Megan
I'm,
a
organizer,
slash
rep
for
Sprinkler
Fitters,
Local,
483
and
I
would
just
like
to
first
of
all
good
afternoon,
mayor
and
council
members.
I
would
just
like
to
you
know
I
ask
that
you
support
the
the
memo
provided
by
a
council
member
Jimenez
and
excuse
me
defer
this
to
to
some
more
research.
Thank
you.
K
J
Thank
you
mayor.
We
have
authority
to
file
a
loss,
potentially
file,
a
lawsuit
coming
out
of
closed
session
and
information
about
that
should
it
be
filed,
we'll
be
made
public
at
the
time
of
the
filing.
We
also
excuse
me
received
authority
to
stipulate
to
a
dismissal
in
the
Coyote
Valley.
Ffv
litigation
is
noticed
in
the
closed
session
agenda
and
we
will
be
filing
that
stipulation
with
opposing
counsel
jointly
to
the
court.
Thank
you.
B
Y
Thank
you.
I
have
a
question
for
for
Ray
about
2.10,
with
the
upgrades
to
Bascom
a
few
years
ago,
we
had
asked
for
Bascom
to
be
the
district
designated
site
and
we
were
told
by
your
office
that
the
county
had
designated
that
site
for
overflow
for
vmc
and
that
we
weren't
able
to
use
it
as
a
district
designated
site.
So
I'm
wondering
why
we're
going
to
call
it
do
these
upgrades
to
make
it
shelter
ready
if
it's
something
that
the
that
the
county
can
commandeer.
Z
Y
Okay,
so
I'm
not
sure
if
we
should,
can
we
defer
this
for
a
week
to
get
this
answer
because
I
if
the
county
is
going
to
be
using
this
site,
then
I
think
that
we
should
talk
with
the
county
about
helping
us
with
those
upgrades.
If
we
need
to
do
the
upgrades
at
Bascom,
because
that
would
mean
that
we
would
need
to
designate
another
area
as
a
possible
shelter.

Hi
Blair
Beekman
here
would
have
been
nice
to
hear
from
catalyze
SP
on
this
item.
I
will
try
to
hold
the
port
down
and
try
to
offer
a
bit
of
goodness
for
this
item.
Thank
you
very
much
for
the
questions
on
the
on
the
side
of
them
to
get
County
help
to
consider
the
future
of
shelter
used
for
Seven
Trees
area
and
for
Bascom
area.
There
just
needs
to
be
a
real
purpose
that
the
future
of
bastem
and
and
South
San
Jose
Seven
Trees,
is
pretty
cool.
You
know.
N
District
10
would
be
nice
too,
but
district
10
and
Seven
Trees
area
to
have
to
have
some
kind
of
24-hour
shelters
available
in
the
future
in
the
winter
time.
It's
pretty
important
and
I
hope
we
really
work
on
that
and
this
seems
to
be
the
item
to
facilitate
how
to
do
that,
and
so.
Thank
you.
Thank
you
for
your
work
on
this
item.

Hey
this
is
Alex
Shore
speaking
personally,
not
on
behalf
of
any
organization
I'm
with
or
Commission
on
which
I
sit.
I
gotta
give
that
disclaimer
I
wanted
to
just
praise
the
city
for
its
work
on
the
park.
In
my
neighborhood,
the
Alameda,
we
have
been
working
on
a
name
for
a
bit
and
we
had
a
community
meeting.
AA
Obviously
it
stuck
with
me
long
enough,
because
I
wanted
to
to
talk
about
it
today,
so
thanks
to
Parks
and
Rec
staff
and
council
member
Davis
for
working
really
hard
after
some
controversy
around
previously
proposed
names
to
find
one
that
is
Forward
Thinking
and
yet
celebrates
the
Alameda
as
a
beautiful
way.
So,
thanks
again
to
stock
for
your
work
on
this
and
to
councilmember
Davis's
office,.
AC
N
How
San
Jose
really
brings
the
future
of
natural
disaster
preparedness
and
Community
emergency
practices
to
the
committee
process
to
the
public
process.
They've
been
really
awesome
about
that
better
than
most
other
Bay
Area
cities.
So
good
luck
in
the
continued
efforts
this
year
to
just
talk
about
openly
the
work
of
learning,
how
to
talk
about
openly
emergency
preparedness
things,
and
we
have
a
great
start
here
in
San
Jose.
That
I
think
can
be
a
help
to
to
bury
communities.

Hello
good
afternoon,
mayor
and
council
members
I'm
speaking
about
item
2.9,
my
name
is
Lori
Byrd
and
I
wanted
to
express
my
support
for
the
proposed
name
for
the
part
that
will
be
located
at
1343.
The
Alameda
I
appreciate
that
the
city
took
some
additional
time
to
review
alternative,
naming
options
and
I'm
pleased
with
the
final
choice.
Thank
you
to
council,
member
Davis
and
the
city
as
we
work
towards
bringing
this
park
to
fruition.
Thank
you
very
much.

Good
afternoon,
Joe
Roy
City
otter
I'm,
here
with
Brittany
Harvey
from
our
office
to
present
our
report
on
the
status
of
open
audit
recommendations
as
of
December
31st
2022.,
the
San
Jose
City
Charter
provide
or
prescribes
the
duties
of
the
city
auditor's
office,
including
conducting
Council
assigned
performance
audits
of
city
services
or
programs
to
determine
whether
City
resources
are
being
used
in
economical,
effective
and
efficient
manner.
Established
objectives
are
being
met
in
desired.
AE
Over
the
past
10
years,
the
city
otter
has
made
775
audit
recommendations
covering
many
aspects
of
the
city's
operations,
including
public-facing
services
such
as
those
provided
by
the
police,
department,
parks,
recreation,
Neighborhood,
Services
planning,
building
code
enforcement
and
others.
We've
also
conducted
many
odds
related
to
support
services
provided
by
the
finance
department,
Public
Works,
the
information
technology
department
and.
S
AE
The
report
shows
the
progress
on
217
audit
recommendations,
seven
of
which
were
from
audits,
issued
or
accepted
by
the
city
council
between
June
30th
and
December
31st
of
last
year.
Those
projects
include
our
audits,
the
Bill
of
Rights
for
Children
and
Youth,
issued
in
August
of
2022
and
covid-19
food
distribution
expenditures
issued
in
October
of
2022..
AE
We
also
issued
two
audits,
our
audits
of
tree
removals
and
Replacements
and
Firearm
regulations
in
November
and
December
of
2022
respectively.
However,
those
were
not
accepted
by
the
full
Council
until
January
of
2023
and
the
17
recommendations
from
those
audits
are
will
be
included
in
our
next
status
update
as
of
June
30th
2023..
AC
AE
Been
partly
implemented
by
departments
as
I
noted
earlier
over
the
past
10
years,
the
city
author's
office
has
made
770
Rec
five
recommendations
to
improve
our
enhanced
city
services
and
of
those
78
percent
have
been
implemented
or
closed
and
further
55
percent
have
been
made
in
the
past
five
years
have
been
implemented
or
closed
to
give
a
sense
of
the
breadth
of
the
work.
That's
been
done
to
implement
recommendations.
AE
In
the
past
past
six
months,
we
wanted
to
highlight
a
few:
the
office
of
Economic
Development,
cultural
Affairs
or
oedca
finalized
procedures,
around
reporting
and
tracking
of
disclosures
of
public
subsidies
to
ensure
compliance
with
the
city's
open
government
resolution
and
California
government
code.
Closing
a
recommendation
for
audit
of
the
from
our
audit
of
the
city's
open
government
Provisions
in
2017.
AE
information
technology
department
or
itd
created
a
public
interactive
dashboard
showing
the
progress
of
Citywide
technology
projects,
which
it
updates.
Every
two
months
separately,
the
department
has
been
presenting
bi-monthly
status,
reports
of
smart
City,
smart
cities
and
service
improvements,
committee
and
moving
poor
will
be
reporting
to
the
public
safety.
Fine
Institute
support
committee
that'll
close
our
recommendation
for
audit
of
tech
deployments
in
2019.
AE
It
all
describes
the
role
of
code
enforcement
and
sets
high
level
expectation
on
inspections,
and
the
brochure
also
includes
a
link
to
the
online
permit
application
form
it's
posted
on
the
police
department's
website,
it's
from
our
audit
of
Code
Enforcement
management
controls
in
2021
and,
lastly,
to
the
California
Water
and
Wastewater
rearges
program
departments,
environmental
services
and
finance
provided
Bill
credits
to
more
than
950
customers,
totaling
541
thousand

assistance
program
and
has
conducted
Outreach
to
account
holders
with
overdue
balances,
informing
them
of
payment
assistance,
operation
or
options.
It's
from
our
2021
audit.
D
AE
Muni,
water,
billing
and
customer
service,
there
are
182
recommendations
still
pending,
133
of
which
are
partly
implemented
with
remaining
49,
not
yet
implemented.
As
shown
here
in
our
online
dashboard,
we
classify
recommendations
by
intended
outcome.
Some
recommendations
improve
operational
efficiency.
Examples
from
2022
audits
include
recommendations
to
improve
project
management
and
trainings
around
the
SQL
process,
from
our
2022
audit
of
environmental
review
process
or
developing
an
electronic
approval
process
for
take-home
vehicles
from
our
2022
audit
of
take-home
Vehicles.
These
often
also
include
business
process
process,
automation,
recommendations
from
different
audits.
AE
AE
In
some
cases,
the
intent
of
the
recommendations
improve
transparency
and
accountability.
Examples
include
developing
targets
measuring
performance
across
different
code
enforcement
activities
and
completing
performance
evaluations
from
our
2021
audit
of
Code
Enforcement
management
controls.
These
recommendations
are
often
about
the
use
and
reporting
of
performance
data.
AE
AE
Lastly,
some
recommendations
are
intended
to
address.
Equity
concerns
an
example
from
a
recent
art
includes
developing
procedures,
monitoring
mechanisms
to
increase
accessibility
to
children
and
youth
programs
in
underserved
areas
from
a
2022
Bill
of
Rights
for
children.
Youth
audit
others
in
this
area
relate
to
the
language,
accessibility
in
City
materials
or
signage.
AE
The
comp
time
liability
reduced
slightly
since
our
last
report,
from
23.8
million
to
23.1
million
as
of
February
2023,
and
the
number
of
sworn
employees
with
comp
time
balance
is
over.
240
hours
has
also
decreased
slightly.
For
these
reasons,
we
recommend
closing
this
recommendation,
though
continuing
control,
the
growth
and
comp
time
is
important
and
we
encourage
the
administration
to
continue
monitoring
so
that
the
comp
time
liability
does
not
begin
to
increase
obtaining
more
favorable
contract
terms
from
Golf
Course
operators
from
golf
courses
in
2015.
AE
AE
Three
recommendation
priorities:
an
area
of
operational
efficiency
include
developing
city-wide
contract
management
policies.
City
manager's
office
or
CMO
in
coordination
with
the
city
attorney's
office,
has
developed
draft
contract,
Administration
Management
guidelines
to
ensure
contracts,
city-wide
or
properly
administered
and
managed.
The
guidelines
cover
the
different
phases
of
contract
Administration,
including
contract
formation
and
ongoing
contract
monitoring.
I
didn't
mention
that
was
from
our
audit
of
Consulting
agreements
from
back
in
2013.
D
AE
Lastly,
up
doing
updating
the
tow
service
agreements
from
our
auditing
of
two
serves
in
2018,
the
city
issued
an
RFP
for
a
technology
platform
and
contract
Administration
for
tow
services
in
February
of
this
year.
This
had
been
planned
for
at
least
prior
previously,
but
was
delayed
because
the
city's
response
to
copen19
the
administration
reports
that
multiple
recommendations
from
this
audit
include
methods
to
address
agreement
violations
will
be
incorporated
into
future
agreements
as
appropriate,
near
improved
Service
delivery,
updating
the
police
activities
League
or
Pal
operating
agreement
from
our
audit
of
pal
in
2018
the
wreck.
AE
This
recommendation
has
been
implemented
as
the
city
in
pal
executed,
a
new
agreement
that
details
pal
operations
and
performance
metrics.
This
includes
pal
operating
the
facility
and
programs
on
a
day-to-day
basis
and
prns
providing
primary
field
maintenance,
along
with
providing
additional
programming.
AE
Department
has
also
been
granted
access
to
the
County's
hmis
system
and
staff
have
begun
reviewing
grantee
reports
against
hmis
data.
Lastly,
department
is
developing
a
schedule
for
ongoing
monitoring
of
all
agreements,
which
is
the
last
element
of
this
recommendation
before
considered
implemented,
clarifying
massage
program
roles
and
responsibilities
from
our
audit
of
Code
Enforcement
management
controls
in
2021
staff
and
planning
building
code
enforcement
or
PBC
report.
AE
They
are
drafting
a
joint
work
plan
to
address
the
recommendation
from
this
audit
and
related
direction
from
Council,
which
includes
the
creation
of
a
memorable
understanding
or
other
means
of
document
documentation
to
outline
massage
program
goals
and
departmental
responsibility
between
ppce
and
the
various
Police
Department
divisions
and
the
three
prior
priority
recommendations.
Area
of
city-wide
risk,
city-wide
security
or
risk
mitigation
include
revising
the
city
procurement,
cart
policy,
originally
from
our
audit
of
P
cards
in
2010.
But
we've
had
multiple
p-card
audits.
AE
Since
that
time,
and
at
the
time
of
the
most
recent
p-card
audit
or
procurement
card
audit
in
2019,
we
found
the
city
had
been
spending

in

happy
to

Thank
you.
C
P
Yes,
I
I
think
the
audit.
Oh
there
we
go.
Can
you
hear
me?
Okay?
Yes,
sorry
about
that.
I
think
the
audio
the
the
auditor
deserves
a
you
know,
a
hand,
clap
because
they
do
a
wonderful
job
and
and
the
city
other
age
of
things
in
the
city
seem
to
really
support
that
and
I
just
wish.
There
was
a
way
to
clone
this
work.
That's
the
auditing
and
the
people
willing
to
answer
questions
and
send
it
over
to
the
California
Public
Utilities
Commission.
That
would
be
a
Wonder
anyways.
C
N
N
That
I
think
is
really
interesting
and,
and
it
offers
a
way
for
the
public
to
really
weigh
in
if
they
want
to
on
it
on
items
of
city
government
stuff
that
the
auditor
is
working
on
I
wish
you
could
return
to
the
monthly
practice
of
giving
a
report
and
people
weighing
in,
but
there's
not
too
many
people
away
in.
Unfortunately,
but
as
long
as
the
options
there,
just
a
reminder
of
that
and
I'm
trying
to
learn
how
to
do
that.
N
Certainly
thank
you
for
your
patience
with
myself
with
that
and
with
that
said
very
much
of
a
thank
you
that
it
seems
like
you're,
actually
making
some
progress
on
police
overtime
issues.
The
auditor's
been
talking
about
this
for
a
few
years
now
how
to
address
better
just
over
time
issues
and
finally
we're
at
a
point
where
there's
some
answers.
It
may
not
be
everything,
but
it's
a
good
start.
N
It
sounds
like,
and
it
will
be
important
to
share
this,
as
we
continue
to
ask
the
question:
what
are
how
do
we
address
police
over
time
and
just
to
very
much
of
a
thank
you
in
what
sounds
like
some
good
beginning
efforts,
so
keep
up
the
good
work
and
I
hope
we
can
make
this
sort
of
work
on
over
time,
open
and
accessible
and
understandable
for
all
persons
of
our
community
and
for
the
Bay
Area
and
for
the
state
and
this
important
step
to
be
working
on.
Thank
you.

AE
The
the
caller
referenced-
you
know
at
the
time
of
the
audit
it
was
around
that
year
was
around
47
million
dollars
at
the
time
of
the
audit,
which
was
about
10
of
of
the
police
spending
it
has,
it
did
come
down,
I
believe
in
the
year
we
were
in
the
most
recent
years.
I
don't
have
the
dollars
my
head,
but
it's
still
significant.
So
that's
that's
a
big
one.
S
AE
19,
food
distribution,
audit,
you
know
they're
at
the
time
of
the
audit,
there
were
still
some
work
to
to
be
done
to
document.
You
know
how
we
met
all
those
federal
guidelines
so
that
one
again
significant
dollars
at
stake,
so
those
are
the
ones
that
kind
of
keep
me
up
at
night
just
and
so,
if
you
look
at
those
12
priority
ones,
they
they're
they
generally
are
a
good
good
way
to
focus
your
your
attention
on
those
important
ones.
K
I
really
appreciate
that
information
and
those
are
the
ones
that
I've
focused
in
on
as
well
the
ones
that
we
have
the
biggest
risk
and
big
biggest
liability,
particularly
with
the
federal
funds.
If,
if
the
way
we
allocated
them
is
not
acceptable
to
the
federal
government,
so
I
really
appreciate
that
and
I
I'm
always
so
grateful
to
get
an
update
from
you
and
and
see
the
audit
report,
no
matter
what
the
subject
is
and
just
because
it
it's
always
so
balanced,
it's
so
well
considered
and
so
well
researched.
B
B
Okay,
I
had
a
couple
questions
and
we'll
see
if
we
don't
have
the
appropriate
staff
in
the
room,
then
I'll
take
them
offline,
but
just
on
a
few
of
these
quickly
on
page
27,
we
have
the
development
services
recommendation
related
to
the
online
fee.
Calculator
and
I
know
that
wreck
goes
all
the
way
back
to
2016.
I
get
someone
to
hear
if
we,
if
we
have
Chris
or
anyone
in
the
department
for
the
looks
like
we
may
not.
Maybe
we
do
yeah.
B
B
So
I
know
this
one
goes
I,
I
love
the
idea,
price
transparency,
just
just
letting
a
developer
or
an
applicant
know
up
front,
hey
here's
what
your
fees
likely
to
be
this
one's
been
kicking
around
for
a
long
time.
Does
the
department
still
see
value
in
this?
Is
this
something
I
saw
that
we
could
start
it
after
this
year
once
the
existing
scope
with
the
portal
vendor
is
done?
Is
this
high
on
your
list
and
why
or
why
not?.
AF
Yes,
thank
you
for
the
question.
Excuse
me,
Alex,
Powell,
chief
of
staff
for
planning
building
code
enforcement.
Yeah
excuse
me
so
this
was
originally
part
of
a
scope
for
actually
a
different
implementation,
just
trying
to
stand
up
any
calculator
based
on
our
current
fees.
We
realized
that
sort
of
the
sophistication
of
our
perpending
database
made
that
really
difficult
to
actually
set
up
a
separate
system
and
sort
of
maintaining
fees
in
two
different
places.
AF
So
with
trying
not
to
do
that
separately,
we
thought
it'd
be
more
efficient
to
do
it
inside
of
our
portal.
That's
already
connected
to
our
perming
database.
It
wasn't
part
of
the
original
scope
of
the
portal
that
we
were
setting
up,
but
we
had
a
little
bit
of
excess
capacity
to
actually
do
this
work
with
the
existing
vendor.
Now
it
should
be
relatively
easy.
We
actually
have
the
ability
to
do
fee
estimates
in
our
current
permitting
system.
It's
just
exposing
that
ability
to
our
to
our
customers
who
do
it
as
well.
AF
So
it's
still
a
high
priority
for
us.
Technically,
it
is
possible.
The
only
issue
is
getting
through
the
existing
implementation,
which
the
development
of
that
is
actually
supposed
to
be
completed
tomorrow,
and
then
we
can
actually
re-engage
our
vendor
on
expanding
to
that
next
portion
of
work.
So
that's
the
next
priority
for
the
portal
we're
just
trying
to
get
through
the
the
next
phase,
which
is
that
application,
Wizard
and
a
couple
other
minor
features.
B
Got
it
okay,
so
you
so
the
department
still
sees
value
I,
assume
you're
hearing
from
our
customers
that
it's
valuable
and
it
sounds
like
it's
a
conversation
you
can
pick
up
with
the
vendor
in
the
coming
weeks.
Is
that
right
not
that
it
would
be
implemented
in
the
coming
weeks,
but
you'd
at
least
talk
about
project
scope,
yeah.
AF
B
B
We
have
a
recommendation
here
that
I
think
has
been
partially
completed
around
aggregating
data
by
strategy
prevention
versus
rapid
rehousing,
Etc
and
training
staff
and
data
collection,
entry
into
hmis,
I
guess
what
I
wanted
to
know
is,
as
we
look
at
the
new
dashboard
that
the
housing
department
released.
Will
this
work
corresponding
to
this
audit
recommendation
enable
us
to
better
understand
where
folks
are
going
after
eih?
We
have
about
16
percent
of
folks
leaving
eih,
where
we
it's
unknown,
where
they're
going?
AC
Hi
I'm
Jackie
morella's
friend
I'm,
the
director
of
housing.
Actually,
your
specific
question
really
is
a
something
we
have
to
work
with
the
providers,
because
it's
the
lack
of
the
data
which
they're
not
getting
from
the
participants
as
they
exit,
so
sometimes
our
participant
will
exit
prior
to
sneak
out
in
the
middle
of
the
night
and
so
they're
not
able
to
track
down.
But
some
of
it
is
just
a
merely
a
data
collection
piece
that
we
have
to
work
more
closely
with
them.
B
AC
Yes,
we
are
working
with
them
to
one
improve
and
get
more
in-depth
metrics,
so
we
started
with
the
performance
metrics
that
are
created
or
that
are
collected
across
the
system,
but
there
are
more
detailed
performance
metrics
that
we
think
would
be
more
valuable
to
us
and
better
understanding
how
we
manage
the
programs
that
we
are
going
to
be
implementing
in
this
upcoming
calendar
year.
Okay,.
B
Great,
thank
you
appreciate
it:
okay
and
then
two
more
on
page
third
question
is
Page
59
on
Park
maintenance
really
glad
we've
implemented
the
new
part,
condition
assessment,
scores,
I'm,
curious,
I,
don't
know
if
we
have
someone
who
can
speak
to
that,
but
have
we
evaluated
the
potential
for
using
resilience
core
conservation
core
and
to
what
extent
we
are
leveraging
these
sort
of
outside
entities
to
help
improve
Park
conditions
and
I?
Think
that's,
maybe
a
little
beyond
the
scope
of
the
audit
item
but
I'm
just
I'm
curious.
If
that's
something
we've
been
evaluating.
AG
Sure
happy
to
answer
Mayor
John,
ciccarelli,
director,
Park
recreation,
Neighborhood
Services.
We
actually
do
have
the
resilience
core
and
other
elements
of
the
Conservation
Corps
integrated
with
the
work
we're
doing
now,
particularly
around
our
trail
system.
A
little
bit
of
good
news.
You
know:
we've
been
trying
very
hard
to
create
sort
of
an
apprenticeship
pipeline
between
that
and
our
maintenance
teams
and
full-time
jobs.
Here
at
the
city,
we
haven't
quite
figured
that
piece
out,
but
we
had
over
40
members
of
the
resilience
corn,
Conservation
Corps,
applying
for
our
open
job
positions
in
maintenance.
AG
This
round
right
now,
people
are
being
hired.
So
that's
a
really
great
story.
That's
coming
out
of
this,
but
our
longer
term
Prospect
is
to
figure
out
how
we
keep
it
going
and
really
turn
it
into
that.
True
pipeline
that
you
work
alongside
us
for
whatever
four
or
six
months,
you
check
off
all
the
boxes.
If
there's
a
vacant
position,
you
qualify,
you
get
the
job.
That's.
B
Fantastic,
so
great
to
hear
that
that
could
help
with
our
talent
pipeline
challenges.
If
you
will,
in
terms
of
the
work
that
they're
doing,
there
seem
to
be
incredibly
talented
young
people
as
I've
gotten
to
know
them,
do
we
feel
like
we're
fully
leveraging
their
capacity,
or
is
there
room
to
actually
expand
these
programs
and
have
have
a
greater
impact
on
the
outcome
we
care
about
in
this
case,
for
this
audit
item,
which
is
just
the
part
conditions
themselves,
yeah.
AG
Another
good
question,
and
by
the
way
the
auditor
is
just
wrapping
up
an
audit
on
the
conservation
course
so
will
get
more
specific
questions
and
answered
in
in
more
detail
about
this
relationship
very
soon,
but
I
will
say
throughout
the
pandemic.
We
really
ballooned
our
relationship,
it
went
it
went
up
by
multiples
in
terms
of
participation
and
funding,
but
it
was
all
ARP,
and
so
that's
the
trick.
How
do
you?
How
do
you
continue
to
maintain
this
momentum?
AG
Because
at
the
at
the
end
of
the
day,
really
Conservation
Corps
is
a
jobs
program
right
and
you're
trying
to
get
these
young
underserved
kids
that
are
coming
out
out
of
neighborhoods,
where
there
aren't
a
lot
of
opportunities,
you're
trying
to
get
them
into
the
workforce
with
a
good
paying
job?
That's
the
ultimate
goal:
I!
Don't
have
all
the
answers
to
how
we
sustain
it
at
the
level
that
we've
pumped
it
up
to
through
the
pandemic,
but
we
are
doing
things
to
keep
some
of
it
going
for
sure,
yeah.
B
AG
B
B
and
I
know
that
Police
Department's,
coming
back
with
a
memo
related
to
fees
associated
with
outdoor
events,
I
think
the
audit
rack
had
to
do
with
better
cost
recovery,
so
it
was
a
way
to
save
money
which
makes
sense.
On
the
other
hand,
if
we
care
about
events
in
our
downtown
or
other
parts
of
town
and
making
them
affordable,
as
we
push
toward
greater
cost
recovery,
we're
also
pushing
up
costs
on
the
folks
trying
to
organize
events.
B
R
M
AH
In
line
with
the
transition
committee's
Direction
and
mayor
and
council's
Direction,
staff
is
working
on
proposing
events
that
would
require
no
permit
and
no
dollars.
There
are
complicated
issues,
including
if
we
were
to
suggest
csos
could
work
closing
streets
Etc.
That
may
well
take
much
more
work
and
we
briefly
gotten
to
speak
about
that
with
pde.
Just
this
morning,
PD
is
great.
AH
Pd
is
very
willing
to
part
cooperate
and
participate,
but
that
would
be
a
phase
two,
so
phase
one
is
looking
where
we
could
diminish
costs
and
at
maybe
it's
just
bad
timing,
but
at
the
same
time,
PD
through
the
auditor's
work,
PD,
Public,
Works
and
Dot
are
moving
forward
with
more
cost
recovery.
There
are
other
suggestions
that,
thanks
to
PD,
we
have
that
we
want
to
talk
to
Jim
Shannon
about.
We
just
talked
about
that
this
with
this
morning,
so
we'll
be
following
up
with
Jim.
Okay,.
B
I
appreciate
that's
an
ongoing
conversation
and
I
fully
respect
the
audit
recommendation
that
we
try
to
close
this
Gap
and
improve
cost
recovery
that
that
has
a
logic
to
it.
At
the
same
time
as
this
comes
back,
I
just
hope,
staff
will
be
really
thinking
hard
about
how
we
don't
actually
diminish
the
number
of
events,
particularly
from
small
arts
and
culture
organizations
and
the
folks
who
are
contributing
so
much
vibrancy
to
our
community.
We
don't
want
to
increase
the
burden
on
them
while
we're
trying
to
reduce
the
costs
coming
out
of
the
general.
B
F
AE
Of
the
work
was,
actually
you
know,
private
security,
things
of
that
nature,
so
doing
work
for
a
vendor,
and
and
so
it
wasn't
just
outdoor
events.
The
scope
of
the
work
was
much
broader,
and
so
you
know
looking
at
the
totality
of
of
the
work.
The
the
outdoor
events
was
just
a
piece
of
it,
so
there
was
far
more
work
in
the
secondary
employment
than
just
that.
Just
I.

G

C
C
Lee
space
was
present
online
and
she
she
just
told
us
she
lost
her
Zoom.
So
as
soon
as
she
gets
back
on
I'll,
let
you
know,
but
you
can
vote
for
after
your
interview.
Your
vote
sheet
will
include
the
three
people
who
did
not
get
picked
the
last
time,
so
you
will
choose
up
to
two
candidates
from
the
total
pool.
The
people
interviewed
today,
as
well
as
the
people
interviewed
on
the
28th

was
already
appointed
right,
so
he
he's
safe,
but
we
did
have
two
vacancies
left.
Okay,.

However,
I
valued
community
service
I
work
for
school
PTA
I
am
a
Communications
chair
in
Middle,
School,
PTA
I'm,
also,
a
Girl
Scout
Troop
helper
I
work
for
several
non-profits
when
I
have
some
time
and
I.
Last
year,
I
volunteered
for
a
political
campaign
and
in
the
process
I
got
familiarized
myself
with
campaign
loss
when
I
applied
for
this
commission.
I
believed
that
it,
this
commission
aligns
with
my
values
and
interests.
AJ
Good
afternoon
Council
mayor,
my
name
is
kashvi
Jain
I'm,
a
junior,
an
11th
grader
at
Silver,
Creek,
High
School.
The
main
reason
I
was
prompted
to
apply
for
this
position
is
my
extensive
passion
for
Community
activism,
as
well
as
my
passion
for
neurodiversity
rights,
as
well
as
like
Refugee
Rights
I'm,
one
of
the
daughters
of
Amit
Jain
and
Richa
Jane
I
have
a
younger
sister,
who
is
a
ninth
grader
at
Silver,
Creek,
High
School
as
well.
B
AK
D
AK
I
believe
that
you
all
know
how
intense
the
elections
have
become
here
in
San
Jose,
how
much
time
energy
passion
you
all
put
into
it,
as
well
as
the
massive
amounts
of
money
that
have
have
flowed
into
our
elections
over
the
past
10
20
30
years,
I
believe
as
a
member
of
this
board,
I
will
be
contributing
and
making
sure
that
the
voices
of
people
are
heard
and
that
we
are
taking
a
hard
and
serious
look
at
how
we
can
better
our
elections
and
protect
our
Democratic
processes
in
the
coming
years.
Thank
you.
B
AL
AJ
Sure
great
question
I
think
my
main
experience
works
with
a
lot
of
research,
so
I
think
it's
really
important
by
being
up
to
date,
having
good
extensive
research
on
the
laws
that
you
mentioned.
I
think
that
I
have
experience
working
in
researching
different,
like
titles
like,
for
example,
I
did
an
interning
position
for
DePaul
University,
where
I
researched
and
redrafted
their
Title
IX
sexual
harassment
claims.
AJ
So
I
learned
how
to
indulge
in
like
extensive
research,
keeping
up
to
like
every
weekly
updates
on
like
the
Title
IX
laws,
as
well
as
like
subscribing
to
different
websites
and
channels
that
give
me
more
information
and
I.
Think
that
that
experience
and
my
ability
to
research
is
really
essential
and
like
being
updated
with
the
loss
that
you
mentioned
and
I
think
it
would
give
me
an
opportunity
to
research
and
understand
the
laws
in
depth.
AJ
X
AK
AI
AI
Ppc
I
my
interest
in
campaign
loss
led
me
to
research
about
fppc
and
the
importance
of
political
reform
act
and
I
I've
been
following
how
they
amend
these,
how
they
Implement
these
laws
and
what
is
the
new?
What
what
are
they?
They
are
planning
to
change.
I
come
up
recently
read
one
article
about
fppc,
how
it's
modernizing
the
laws,
putting
them
in
plain
English,
so
everybody
can
understand.
G
AK
I
mean
it's
not
something
that
there's
one
piece
I
mean
it's
got
to
be
Citizens
United
versus
the
FEC,
but
of
course
that's
not
under
the
purview
of
our
local
legal
Authority,
but
that's
where
it
all
begins.
I
think
we
all
know
that
I
think
you
all
know
where
our
current
campaign
system
has
kind
of
gone
and
where
it's
come
from
so
I
I
think
clearly,
that's
where
we'd
have
to
begin.
But
that
is
not
something
that
this
board
will
ever
be
able
to
to
deal
with.
AK
So
with
that,
it's
just
enforcing
the
current
regulations.
I
I
want
to
see
where
and
how
and
that's
something
that
I
feel
like
I.
Don't
currently
have
a
ton
of
knowledge
of
where
and
how
in
San,
Jose
Municipal
Code
we're
ending
up
in
a
situation
where
elections
have
become
like.
Why
are
we
in
a
place
where
the
mayoral
election
right
of
of
our
mayor
ended
up
costing
millions
and
millions
of
dollars
which
I
think
is
representative
of
how
important
a
position?
AK
It
is
but
also
a
sign
that
that's
something
in
San
Jose,
quite
as
has
changed
a
little
bit
in
the
past
decade
or
two
so
I'm
I'm,
not
sure
where
that
stems
from,
but
I
would
start
with
taking
a
look
and
seeing
how
the
funds
have
been
spent.
I
know
we
have
a
lot
of
public
data
on
where
money
is
coming
from
and
I'd
love
to
dive
more
into
that.
AI
Excuse
me,
so
this
is
a
tough
question,
because
campaign
laws,
citizens,
united
gutted
the
strength
of
biparties
and
Reform
Act
of
2002.,
so
the
biggest
task
of
controlling
money
in
elections
is,
is
actually
tied
with
the
First
Amendment
Act
of
freedom
of
speech.
So
how
do
we
do
this?
I
don't
know,
but
then
what
I
can
say
is
most
of
the
campaigns
should
be
Grassroots,
taken
or
funded
by
public
people
and
workers,
not
by
large
corporations
who
does
the
contributions
biggest
contributions,
because
when
that
happens,
the
wealthy
get
the
voice.
AI
AJ
Laws
is
the
accessibility,
I
think
a
lot
of
times
in
filling
out
forms
and
trying
to
explain
the
violations
that
have
occurred.
It's
very
tedious
and
I
think
to
be
more
inclusive
of
individuals
who
might
not
be
able
to
fill
out
the
violations.
I
think
it.
The
campaign
law
should
be
more
accessible
towards
them,
especially
at
school
for
younger
individuals
in
my
generation,
it's
very
difficult
to
understand
all
the
legal
proceedings
and
procedures,
so
I
think
if
we
can
amend
our
laws
to
be
more
accessible
towards
them.
K
AI
So
I
think
when
we
value
when
we
put
our
core
values
first,
which
are
like
at
any
workplace,
Integrity
discipline,
diligence
and
perseverance,
all
such
discipline,
of
course,
so
we
are
also
making
a
decision
based
on
our
core
values.
Also,
our
decisions
can
cost
the
Democracy
citizens
and
common
people,
whoever
have
a
trust
in
governmental
system.
So
when
we
are
in
the
in
a
board
or
a
commission,
we
we
make
decisions
to
increase
their
trust.
AJ
I
believe
that,
essentially,
in
terms
of
politics,
I
think
it's
really
important
to
take
a
neutral
perspective
towards
different
ideas
and
I.
Think
my
experience
as
like
a
student
I've
been
able
to
understand
two
different
perspectives
and
I.
Think
it's
really
important
to
come
in
with
an
open
mind
whenever
we're
in
this
board.
I
participate
in
speech
and
debate
and,
as
many
individuals
know,
it
requires
understanding
both
sides
of
the
debate
and
understanding
both
sides
of
the
debate
so
I
think
that
perspective
is
really
important
in
this
board.
AJ
AK
Well,
as
an
educator,
I'm,
well
aware
of
kind
of
keeping
politics
separate
from
from
the
educational
system
right
as
someone
who's
taught
for
for
a
few
years
now
and
I
understand
that
this
board
right
is
a
nonpartisan
commission
that
that
gains
its
Authority
from
the
sovereignty
that
is
granted
into
you.
The
council
right,
you
are
the
ones
who
are
going
to
be
crafting
the
laws,
the
rules,
the
regulations,
while
I
might
come
up
with
ideas
that
I
think
would
be
great.
AK
That's
not
going
to
be,
ultimately
the
role,
I'm
excited
and
curious
to
look
at.
Why
or
how
this
has
happened.
Ultimately,
whatever
the
board
comes
to
relies
on
on
your
guidance
and
ultimately
on
the
power
that
you
folks
have
to
kind
of
adjust
and
change
the
municipal
code
and
then
give
us
perhaps
on
the
board
the
tools
that
we
need
to
then
enforce
the
the
things
that
you
are
prioritizing
right,
because,
ultimately,
that
is
the
board
where
there
is
both
oversight,
but
also
as
enforcement,
so
you're
the
lawmakers
were
carrying
out
the
law.
L
L
AK
The
law
that
exists
so
we're
there
to
ensure
compliance
and
then
to
flag,
potentially
operations,
flag
moments,
things
that
we
see
that
maybe
don't
fit
under
the
the
current
legislation
that
you've
crafted
the
current
Council
legislation
to
ensure
that
if
there
are
things
that
are
these
edge
cases
that
aren't
brought
up
that
aren't
discussed
that
haven't
been
put
into
the
code.
That's
where
I
see
the
board
as
being
this
investigator
right.
AK
AI
I
think
it's
an
important
commission
where
follow,
follow
rules
according
to
the
in
complaints
with
municipal
code
and
reviewing
cases
in
order
to
reflect
in
a
fair
campaign,
because
a
fair
campaign
brings
the
public
trust
back
into
the
system
and
improve
the
low
water
rate.
That
is
what
happening
in
San
Jose
nowadays
so
being
in
this
commission
and
reviewing
cases
and
learning
from
I'm
following
the
law
is
very
important
to
result
in
a
better
Campaign
which
results
in
transparency.
AJ
I
think
the
main
into
imperative
goals
of
this
board
is
number
one
to
ensure
a
fair
equal
practices,
especially,
like
my
colleagues
have
said
in
the
political
practices
in
elections
as
well
as
in,
like
the
campaign
of
board
and
ethics.
I.
Think.
The
second
imperative
goal
is,
of
course,
to
address
the
allegations
and
violations
of
the
code
of
conduct.
That
is
argued
in
the
board
of
ethical
campaign
and
practices
and
I.
Think.
It's
also
really
important
that
we
address
those
concerns
and
make
sure
that
the
people's
voices
are
heard
in
this
board.
AM
Oh,
thank
you
very
much
for
applying
for
this
position.
Like
my
colleague,
Candelas
council,
member
Candelas,
has
I
want
to
prove
a
little
further
in
that
area.
If
you
can
comment
on
what
year
really
responsible
for
in
this
case,
and
how
would
you
go
about
taking
one
element
of
that,
one
for
illustration
purposes
that
how
you
would
pursue
or
investigate
that.
AJ
I
think
the
main
role
element
of
like
the
illustration
is
that
we
ensure
that
we
can
take
a
perspective
into
evaluating
the
case
and
evaluating
the
violation
and
see
if
it
upholds
to
the
standards
proposed
by
the
code
of
conduct.
I
think
it's
important
that
as
the
illustration
states
that
we
ensure
that
we
can
take
a
perspective
towards
seeing
if
the,
if
there's
precedence
for
the
violation
as
well
as
like,
if
the
violation
again
is
Justified
in
the
code
of
law
and
I,
feel
like
it's
really
important.
AI
So
I
am
not
familiar
with
the
process,
how
they
investigate,
but
definitely
I,
know
that
there
should
be
a
lot
of
definitions
to
be
known
for
related
to
this
board.
We
need
to
study
the
municipal
code,
understand
the
terms
and
make
sure
there
is
nothing
missing
in
relate
in
regards
to
these.
You
know,
committees
or
where,
where
exactly
it's
happening
and
getting
educated
following
the
law,
also
taking
I
hope,
taking
attorneys
help,
studying
and
understanding
discussing
with
the
board
members
will
will
help
in
investigating
an
issue.
I
think.
AK
So,
as
far
as
investigation
goes,
I
mean
that
that
is
the
the
main
process
is
a
complaint
is
brought
to
the
board.
Now
the
one
thing
that
I'm
curious
is
how
many
complaints
are
bought
and
and
do
folks
in
San
Jose.
Are
they
comfortable
bringing
those
complaints?
So
that's
one
thing
kind
of
outside
of
the
scope
of
your
question
council
member
that
I
I
wonder
about,
but
once
there
is
a
complaint
I
think
the
process
becomes
a
bit
clearer.
It's
investigating
this
complaint.
That's
bringing
in
potential
Witnesses
I
know
we'll
have
subpoena
power.
AK
I
suspect.
We
won't
need
to
use
it,
but
sending
correspondence
talking
to
the
campaigns
hearing
what
they
have
to
say
the
complainant
and
if
there's
any
other
complainants
discovering
who
else
is
impacted
by
the
complaint
right?
Is
it
just
the
one
person
who's
having
this
complaint?
Is
this
complaint
representative
of
you
know
a
flyer
that
was
sent
out
without
the
appropriate
labeling?
Was
it
representative
of
of
campaign
practices
that
are
filing
some
other
code
investigating
discovering
where
that
went
wrong?
AK
C
AK
Yeah
I'm
aware
that
that
we
have,
of
course
the
monthly
meetings
but
I
believe
both
of
most
of
the
work
is
going
to
be
taking
place
outside
of
those
monthly
meetings.
It's
going
to
be
that
that
process
of
investigating
communicating
with
other
members
of
the
board
and
following
up
with
each
member
of
the
board
on
the
tasks
that
we've
assigned
them,
I
imagine
this
is
going
to
be.
You
know,
as
a
teacher,
a
lot
of
homework
right.
AK
Imagine
I'll
have
a
lot
of
homework
which
I'm
comfortable
with,
of
course,
I'm
excited
at
the
opportunity
to
to
be
someone
who
is
working
with
a
board
and
ultimately
with
you
all
to
help
Safeguard
and
deal
with
the
various
election
violations.
So
I
don't
know
the
exact
amount
of
time.
I'm
expecting
you
know
a
significant
chunk
of
time,
particularly
during
election
years
I'm
expecting
hours
and
hours
a
week,
maybe
it's
more
I'm
comfortable
with
whatever
that
amount
of
time.
This
is
something
I'm
very
excited
for
I.
AJ
I
understand
the
time
commitments
that
are
dedicated
towards
this
role
and,
as
a
student
I,
do
understand
that
I
have
school
every
day,
but
I'm
I.
As
said
about
the
monthly
meetings,
I
would
be
skipping
school
and
attending
those
meetings
and
outside
of
school
I
do
have
a
lot
of
free
time
to
spy
homework
and
doing
the
work.
That's
required
for
this
board,
as
well
as
next
year,
I'll
be
in
senior
year
during
the
election
time.
So
college
applications
will
be
done
so
I'll
be
pretty
much
free
during
that
time.
AJ
So
I
would
be
able
to
commit
a
lot
of
time
towards
the
sport
and
regarding
the
top
qualities,
I.
Think.
First
of
all,
passion
is
really
important
like
knowing
that,
like
in
your
job
that
you're
really
passionate
about
what
you
believe
in
and
making
sure
that
you
are
able
to
impose
like
better
Ethics
in
the
city
of
San,
Jose
I
do
have
a
deep
passion.
B
Okay,
great
and
then
I'll
go
ahead
and
ask
one
question
here,
which
is
similar
to
the
one
that
comes
from
a
fully
ass,
but
just
from
a
totally
different
perspective.
If
you
were
to
encounter
a
situation
in
which
you
really
felt
that
a
candidate
was
or
was
not
acting
in
a
way
that
you
supported
personally,
but
it
was
in
adherence
with
the
rules
as
written.
How
would
you
what
would
your
thought
process
be?
B
AI
So
if
such
situation
comes,
I
I
definitely
do.
The
first
thing
is
following
the
letter
of
the
law:
the
law
is
the
is
a
priority
or
the
the
one
that
comes
first
in
in
any
in
any
situation.
So,
following
the
letter
of
the
law,
what
the
law
says:
what's
what
what
are
the
rules
that
the
commission
or
the
board
members
have
to
follow?
So
those
are
the
the
issues
that
come
first
than
anyone
I
think
that
is
the
best
way
to
approach
I
believe
in
that.
AJ
I
agree
with
Miss
venkita
I
believe
that
law
and
like
the
code
of
conduct,
is
really
important
to
follow,
of
course,
but
I
also
think
communication
with
our
with
the
colleagues
in
the
board
is
also
very
important,
being
able
to
understand
what
they
believe
and
what
they
think
about.
This
will
help
create
our
own
perspectives
as
well
and
make
sure
we
can
remove
any
biases
that
occur
within
our
personal
feelings,
so
being
able
to
communicate
with
them
and
understand
how
they
believe
about
this
and
how
they
want
to
approach.
AJ
AK
Yeah
so
I
think
when
it
comes
to
the
letter
of
the
law,
the
letter
of
the
law
is
the
law
right.
The
code
is
is,
what's
there,
we
are
bound
to
that
right.
You
are
all
bound
to
those
you
I
am
going
to
be
enforcing
that,
so,
if
it
violates
my
personal
beliefs
or
there's
an
action
that
I
feel
like
personally
I,
don't
like.
That's
not
really
the
question
that
we're
being
asked
we're
not
really
personally
being
asked
whether
this
thing
is
is
acceptable
or
not.
AK
We're
asking
whether
the
this
violates
the
current
election
codes
of
the
city
of
San
Jose.
Now,
if
there
are
a
lot
of
those
cases,
I
think
that
is
something
that
the
board
is
there
for
to
bring
up
to
you
that
this
is
a
potential
issue.
If
we're
seeing
lots
and
lots
of
this
thing
that
is
clearly
all
of
us
or
all
of
the
board
is
noticing
is-
is
maybe
feeling
like
it
goes
against.
AK
I
I,
don't
want
to
say
our
heart,
but
going
against
what
we
understand
the
Democrat
process
to
look
like
if
there's
anything
that
that
you
can
do
to
help
create
those
those
rules
that
can
then
be
enforced.
That
would
be
what
I
bring
up,
but
yeah,
of
course,
there's
going
to
be
moments
where
you're
going
against.
Perhaps
you
your
personal
feelings
and
and
that's
part
of
of
any
job,
and
particularly
a
job
like
this,
where
we're
going
to
be
enforcing
the
regulations
as
they're
currently
crafted.

Okay,
well,
these
well.
This
round
of
voting
is
being
tallied.
Should
we
invite
folks
down
to
the
box
for
the
next
item,
as
as
my
colleagues
will
remember,
we
deferred
item
3.6
and
item
6.1,
which
means
we
are
on
to
item
8.1,
which
is
the
Berryessa
Flea

Advisory
Group
status
report
I,
think
we
can
begin
the
presentation.
AH
Good
afternoon,
mayor
and
Council,
thank
you
very
much.
Nancy
Klein,
director
of
office
of
Economic
Development,
cultural
Affairs
I'm
here
with
Lori
Severino,
adelpho,
Ruiz
and
Nathan
Donato
Weinstein,
and
we're
here
to
present
a
brief
status
update
in
accord
with
Council
Direction
on
the
formation
of
the
flea
market.
Advisory
Group.
AH
AH
AH
AP
You
Nancy
oops,
thank
you
Nancy,
so
Council
had
envisioned
that
The
Advisory
Group
would
mainly
include
vendors
as
well
as
the
property
owner
and
would
advise
on
three
main
topics:
uses
of
the
vendor
transition
fund,
the
design
and
operation
of
the
on-site
Urban
Market,
and
the
allocation
of
space
to
existing
vendors.
In
that
Urban
Market
Council
wanted
staff
to
work
with
stakeholders
to
draft
a
charter
outlining
the
details
of
the
Advisory.
AP
So
the
charter
outlines
the
purpose
of
the
group,
which
is
to
advise
City
staff
on
the
allocation
of
the
vendor
transition
fund,
the
Urban
Market
concept
and
the
process
for
allocating
space
to
existing
vendors.
The
Advisory
Group
will
also
be
expected
to
help
staff
with
Outreach
to
the
broader
vendor
community.
This
reflects
the
original
Council
Direction
and
adds
ensuring
coordination
with
a
property
owner
on
plans
for
the
Urban
Market.
As
another
objective
of
the
group.
AP
AP
The
city
manager
will
make
the
official
appointments
staff
will
be
responsible
for
running
the
meetings
acting
on
the
feedback
and
making
sure
that
everyone
can
actively
participate
through
providing
language
access
and
other
inclusive
measures.
The
meetings
will
be
open
to
the
public,
with
materials
posted
on
our
vendor
info
website.
AP
AP
AH
Thank
you
in
in
wrapping
up
the
work
that
Council
identified
for
us
is
now
fully
underway
as
directed
and
anticipated
from
Council
in
the
community,
and
the
charter
that
has
been
supported
reflects
council's
original
intent
for
the
group
and
incorporates
important
and
essential
input
from
the
stakeholders.
The
engage
engagement
process.
It
is
built
broad
support
for
The,
Advisory
Group
framework
and
we're
excited
to
begin
the
meetings
and
Advisory
Group
interaction
and
continue
collaborating
with
the
vendor
community
at
large,
including
also
the
property
owners.
AH
So,
as
we
move
forward
onto
the
next
phase
of
the
flea
market,
work
and
I
would
be
remiss
if
I
didn't
say
that
the
folks
on
the
team
here
have
been
working
very
diligently
and
passionately
to
get
the
work
done
and
also
want
to
deeply
thank
the
vendors
Association
and
the
vendors
who
have
been
essential
and
critical
partners
with
us.
And
with
that
we
end
our
report
and
turn
this
back
to
council.
B
Thanks
Nancy
and
just
to
Echo
your
point
I
really
appreciate
how
much
time,
effort
and
thought
staff
has
put
into
supporting
our
vendors.
This
is
been
a
great
show
of
solidarity
with
them.
I
know,
you've
all
taken
this
very
seriously
and
I
appreciate
the
work,
you've
done
and
I
know.
We
will
hear
from
some
folks
today,
but
just
appreciate
all
the
efforts
that
are
being
made
to
make
sure
that
we're
ready
for
this
eventual
closure.
B
B
AQ
Could
you
hear
me?
Yes
thank
you
mayor
Mayhem,
vice
mayor
kame
and
council
members,
my
name
is
Jesus
Flores
I
am
executive
director
of
Latino
business
Foundation,
Silicon,
Valley
I
am
calling
in
support
of
the
Berryessa
Flea
Market
Advisory
board
and
the
status
report
that
is
being
presented
to
you
today,
Latino
business
Foundation
has
been
working
with
the
Berryessa
Flea
Market
vendors
Association
since
August
of
2020,
in
ensuring
that
the
involvement
of
vendors
in
this
process
and
working
towards
their
goal
of
relocation.
AQ
We
are
also
a
part
of
the
Coalition
that
has
been
working
along
with
OED
on
the
process
of
creating
this
Advisory
Board
I
want
to
take
this
opportunity
to
thank
the
staff
of
the
office
of
economic
development
for
their
great
work
in
this
Charter.
As
this,
this
process
has
been
thoughtful
and
the
inclusion
of
Bender
as
key
stakeholders
is
commendable.
AQ
As
a
side
note,
it
is
another
rainy
day
out
there
and
as
much
as
we
need
the
rain
and
the
water.
We
must
remember
that,
for
our
vendors,
rainy
days
means
no
money
making
days.
Many
of
our
vendors
have
not
been
able
to
sell
their
products
more
than
a
few
days
during
the
past
months.
They
need
support
urgently.
It
is
important
to
remember
and
I
want
to
emphasize
that
this
coming
June
the
vendors
might
receive
a
one-year
notice
of
addiction.
AQ
AA
Hey
good
afternoon,
council
members,
this
is
Alex
Shore
speaking
on
this
item
on
behalf
of
catalyze
SV,
which
has
been
supporting
the
Berryessa
Flea
Market
vendors
Association
as
part
of
the
Coalition
they've
formed
to
prevent
the
displacement
of
these
vendors
from
our
community
and
this
Revenue.
This
cultural
gem
from
our
community
as
well.
AA
We're
supporting
staff's
efforts
and
this
item
today
with
the
Advisory
Group,
looks
like
some
really
great
things
in
these
recommendations
particularly
want
to
call
out
the
new
market,
design
and
operation.
That's
been
an
area
where
our
Coalition
has
been
concerned
and,
frankly,
skeptical
about
the
desire
of
the
future
decision
makers
of
the
site
about
if
the
vendors
will
actually
be
able
to
continue
to
sell
in
this
place,
where
they've
been
for
over
60
years.
AA
Making
sure
that
working
class
folks
working
extremely
hard
to
support
themselves,
many
of
whom
are
immigrants,
have
control
over
their
economic
Destiny
and
we're
so
grateful
for
staff's
work
to
continue
to
support
that,
we
will
continue
to
push
them
at
times
to
make
sure
that
we're
doing
everything
we
can
to
keep
this
economic
driver
and
this
cultural
gem
in
our
community.
Thank
you,
so
much
staff
for
your
work
and
to
the
bfva
for
helping
represent
so
many
of
these
vendors.
AA
AR
It's
been
great
to
see
the
work
that
we've
achieved
so
far
and
the
involvement
of
vendors
and
centering
their
voices
in
this
process.
It's
been
inclusive
and
has
from
our
previous
speakers.
You
know
brought
in
a
broad
Coalition
of
folks
that
are
interested
in
the
flea
market,
whether
it
be
Latino,
business,
Foundation,
catalyze,
SV
or
planning
experts
from
San
Jose
State,
as
you
guys
could
tell
the
pulia
topic,
is
an
important
one
here
for
our
city
and
moving
forward.
AR
AN
I
think
the
next
year
or
two
are
going
to
be
critical
and
I'm
really
glad
to
see
this
update
and
looking
forward
to
these
economic
studies
before
the
two
minutes
runs
out.
I
just
wanted
to
leave
two
little
really
interesting
tidbits
regarding
the
flea
market
for
everyone
on
the
dice
and
everyone
listening
at
home
as
well
want
to
remind
everyone
that
the
San
Jose
Flea,
Market,
Berryessa
Flea
Market,
is
a
key
player
in
Khaled
husseini's
The
Kite
Runner,
which
is
a
worldwide
Juggernaut.
It's
now
a
Broadway
musical,
as
well
as
an
award-winning
novel.
AN
There
is
great
great
excerpts
in
The
Kite
Runner
about
Mr
husseini's
experience
selling
at
the
flea
market.
He
meets
the
love
of
his
life,
there,
the
whole
book
and
the
whole
story
and
the
movie
whatever
it
is.
You
want.
Please
read
it
and
get
to
know
it.
It
features
the
flea
market
in
key
roles
and
also
as
a
reminder.
This
isn't
just
a
little
swap
meet.
Forbes
Magazine
reported
that
in
2020
The
Shoe
Palace
was
sold
to
a
British
conglomerate
for
325
million
dollars,
and
that
was
on
profit
of
over
52
million.
C
N
All
right
we've
been
here,
I
wish
I
was
involved
with
this
more
than
I
am
so
I'm
a
bit
on
the
outside
of
these
things,
but
I've
noticed
you
know
memos,
and
things
do
continuously
say
that
this
is
a
process
to
allow
the
vendors
themselves
to
be
a
part
of
the
future
of
the
development
of
the
flea
market,
and
that
means
you
know
in
haggling
and
understanding
what
five
acres
can
mean.
Maybe
that
can
mean
six?
N
Maybe
that
can
mean
seven,
maybe
eight
and
from
that
that
design
standard
you
know
this
can
be
a
way
for
vendors
themselves
to
really
have
a
hand
and
a
part
in
What.
The
shape
of
the
buildings
will
look
like
what
what
their
design
will
be.
The
Landscaping
will
be
I
mean
those
kind
of
issues,
I
think.
If
the
vendors
take
real
seriously
in
this
in
this
Advisory
Board
take
seriously,
they
can
have
a
really.
It
can
be
a
really
interesting
development,
because
currently
I
feel
the
current
place
looks
kind
of
like
a
security
Zone.
N
You
know
a
high-end
security
establishment
and
I'm
a
little
put
off
by
it.
I
I
think
there
can
be
a
way
that
vendors
themselves
can
add
a
really
organic
important
feeling
to
the
Future
development
of
this
place,
and
it's
from
that
I
think
a
few
extra
acres
for
their
own
rendering
as
possible,
among
other
things
and
I
I,
really
hope
that
vendors
can
really
have
an
honest
say
in
the
future
development
in
this
place.
So
it
doesn't
look
like
a
high
security
complex.
N
G
Thank
you,
mayor
I,
want
to
begin
my
comments
by
thanking
staff
for
the
great
presentation
and
for
the
report
and,
of
course,
all
the
hard
work
you've
done
in
collaboration
with
the
vendors
Association
I'm,
especially
thankful
that
staff
ensured
there
was
a
high
emphasis
on
the
vendor
and
Community
input
in
regards
to
this
Charter.
This
process
is
truly
highlighted.
The
good
work
that
can
be
done
through
the
collaboration
with
community
and
partner
organizations.
G
I
did
want
to
just
piggyback
off
of
what
the
representative
from
the
various
Flea
Market
vendors
Association
mentioned
that
and
remind
my
colleagues
that
come
June.
Vendors
will
potentially
be
receiving
their
one-year
notice
to
leave,
and
after
that
we
will
be
seeing
vendors
reaching
out
to
our
offices
collectively
asking
for
help.
It's
that
that
point,
that
I
hope
we
can
all
step
in
and
provide
them
within
this
necessary
resources
for
relocation
to
keep
these
businesses
alive
and
thriving.
You
know
this
is
something
that's
very
personal
to
me.
G
I
one
of
my
first
jobs
was
working
at
the
flea
market
spent
many
weekends
there
with
my
family
and
while
I'm
sad
to
see
the
flea
market,
go
I'm
aware
that
there
are
still
opportunities
to
preserve
the
many
vendors
who
have
contributed
to
my
childhood
and
many
of
the
the
individuals
throughout
the
city
of
San,
Jose's
livelihood,
so
I
hope
we
could
continue
to
partner
with
the
vendor
Association
and
provide
them
the
support
that
they
need.
Thank
you.
AM
I
also,
second,
the
motion
here
at
the
the
work
which
you
have
already
done
and
completing
the
I
have
a
couple
of
questions
on
one
I
see
the
formation
of
The
Advisory
Board.
So
first
question
is
about.
We
have
been
having
trouble,
completing
acquisition,
Eric
or
requiring
enough
members
to
join
those
commissions
at
all.
Do
you
see
having
any
trouble
in
being
able
to
get
the
11
members
you
intend
to
have.
AM
AH
E
Hi
good
afternoon,
thank
you
for
the
presentation
and
thank
you
staff
for
all
your
hard
work.
I
was
transitioning
out
of
councilmember
Costco's
office
when
I
was
going
to
the
the
meeting,
so
they
were,
they
were
really
well
attended.
Well,
organized
most
importantly,
they
had
a
very
important
translation
services.
So
so
thank
you
for
for
all
your
hard
work
and,
of
course,
a
huge
major
shout
out
to
Roberto
Gonzalez
from
the
vendors
Association,
and
we
just
heard
from
Jesus
Flores
and
Chava
bustamani
and
others
from
the
from
the
Coalition
group.
E
Just
like
council
member
Ortiz,
I
grew
up
at
the
flea
market,
so
I
have
very
fond
memories
of
the
flea
market
and
and
that
that's
why,
to
this
day,
you
know
on
this
dice
I
try
to
support
our
vendors
and
our
street
vendors
and
and
our
local
small
businesses.
So
so
yes,
it's
very
unfortunate.
That
is
happening.
What
is
happening
to
our
flea
market
and
we
really
do
have
to
be
ready,
for
you
know
the
unfortunate
closure
of
the
of
the
flea
market.
So
so,
hopefully,
as
a
city
we
can.
E
AB
AB
and
I
I
enjoy
the
the
open
market
and
and
the
many
different
vendors
and
I
hope
that
we
continue
to
support
these
vendors
and
small
businesses
that
exist
and
continue
to
do
so.
So
that
way
they
can
Thrive
within
the
urban
market
and
again
I
just
want
to
say.
Thank
you
very
much
for
doing
a
great
job
to
the
staff.
Thank
you.
B
AS
Two
years
ago
to
to
finally
put
in
place
a
plan
for
that
transition
that
will
help
the
vendors
as
the
development
happens
around
the
BART
station
I
I
want
to
particularly
thank
Roberto
Gonzalez
and
the
barriers
of
Flea
Market
vendors
Association
for
their
leadership
throughout
this
process.
They've
been
a
very
constructive
partner
with
the
city
and
have
been
very
instrumental
in
getting
this
moving
forward.
Also,
a
lot
of
community
allies
have
been
very
helpful
in
this,
as
some
have
spoken
today.
AS
Such
people
like
Jesus
and
Kelly,
among
others,
who
have
been
good
Advocates
from
the
beginning
and
I,
want
to
just
also
thank
the
our
staff
for
their
hard
work.
Getting
us
to
this
point,
working
well
with
all
of
The,
Advocates
and
I.
Look
forward
to
hearing
great
work
that
The
Advisory
Group
does
going
forward
as
we
look
for
long-term
Solutions,
which
I
continue
to
hope
will
include
vendor
spaces
and
ongoing
Market
on
this
current
side
of
the
flea
market,
because
I
think
you
know,
as
we
all
know,
it's.
AS
It's
really
been
important
element
of
this.
Of
this
community
I
mean
I
raised
my
children
going
to
the
flea
market.
Monthly
walking
down
the
street
to
be
there
and
and
it's
an
important,
vibrant
part
of
District
Four
and
so,
whether
all
or
in
part,
we
preserve
locations
to
keep
it
at
that
location.
I
think
that
would
be
very
important,
but
also
continue
to
look
for
other
sites
so
that
all
the
vendors
will
be
able
to
have
an
opportunity
to
continue
to
run
their
businesses
here
in
San
Jose.
AC
Who
is
the
division
manager
for
our
homeless
response
team
and
we're
going
to
give
you
a
very
brief
presentation
on
our
home
ARP
funding
and
the
process
by
which
we
went
through
in
order
to
make
this
recommendation
so
we're
here
to
tell
you
how
we're
going
to
what
we're
recommending
to
use
11.6
million
of
Home
American
Rescue
funds
that
were
awarded
to
the
city
in
2021.
In
order
to
spend
these
funds,
we
have
to
program
program
them
in
our
HUD
annual
action
plan.
AC
AC
There
are
four
eligible
activities
that
funds
can
be
used
for
and
they
include
the
development
and
preservation
of
affordable
housing,
providing
rental
assistance
for
people
to
go
into
housing
into,
and
it's
usually
market
rate,
housing,
Supportive,
Services,
homeless,
Prevention,
Services
and
housing
counseling.
And
then
the
final
area
that
we
can
fund
is
the
purchase
and
development
of
non-congregate
shelter,
which
is
what
we
typically
call
as
emergency
interim
housing.
AC
Foreign
does
require
that
when
we're
programming,
our
hunt
HUD
funds
that
we
consult
with
stakeholders
and
individuals
that
are
going
to
benefit
from
these
funds,
and
so
the
housing
department
used
three
approaches
to
engage
the
community
and
stakeholders.
First
of
all,
we
used
listening
sessions
where
we
met
one-on-one
or
in
groups
with
persons
with
lived
experience,
the
community
and
non-profits
that
serve
them,
then.
AC
Secondly,
we
created
a
web
page
where
it
was
a
One-Stop
shop
where
people
could
learn
about
the
HUD
funding
view
our
draft
plan
and
submit
comments,
and
then,
finally,
we
did
a
survey,
an
online
survey
which
was
translated
in
multiple
languages
and
it
was
open
to
the
public
during
February.
We
used
all
of
this
information
to
bring
you
our
HUD
home
ARP
proposal
and
recommendations,
so
we
are
posing
to
use
it
in
three
primary
activities.
AC
The
first
activity
is
homeless
prevention
and
you've
heard
about
our
homeless
prevention
program,
where
we're
basically
keeping
people
in
their
homes,
because
that
is
the
most
cost
effective
way.
If
we
can
prevent
people
from
being
homeless,
we're
allocating
three
million
dollars
to
that
activity
and
we'll
serve
500
individuals.
AC
The
second
proposal
is
tenant-based
rental
assistance;
assistance
that
is
basically
a
rental
assistance
program,
we're
going
to
be
serving
300
people
with
a
budget
of
4.5
million
and
then
lastly,
Supportive
Services
for
our
residents
that
are
living
in
our
non-congregate
shelters,
which
are
our
emergency
interim
housing
sites.
That
will
benefit
300
people
with
a
cost
of
approximately
2.4
million.
And
then
there
is
an
allocation
to
support
the
administration
planning
of
the
funds
of
which
would
go
to
the
housing
department.
At
1.7
million.
AC
With
all
of
our
programs,
we
do
create
performance
metrics,
and
these
should
be
familiar
to
you,
because
they
are
consistent
with
the
community
plan
to
end
homelessness,
and
they
are
really
focused
on
the
three
strategies
that
you've
heard
us
discussed
before
in
the
past.
So
the
first
one
is
homeless
prevention
and
the
performance
metric.
There
is
that
85
percent
of
the
people
who
receive
funding
will
remain
stably
housed
for
one
year
after
receiving
the
services
for
our
rental
assistance
program.
AC
83
percent
of
the
individuals
after
they
finish
receiving
the
rental
assistance,
will
continue
to
be
stably
housed
and
then.
Lastly,
the
support
of
services
that
we're
providing
for
people
that
are
living
in
our
emergency
interim
housing.
The
whole
goal
of
that
Supportive
Housing
is
really
to
help
people
transition
into
permanent
housing,
and
so
our
Target
is
32
percent
of
individuals
will
exit
to
permanent
housing.
These
Target
metrics
are
consistent
with
what
we
see
in
our
community
plan,
which
is
our
regional
programs.
It
allows
us
to
Benchmark
ourselves
against
other
providers
across
the
county.
AC
N
Here,
I'm
gonna
have
to
look
over
this
report
much
more
and
it's
my
hope
that
this
is
the
work
and
efforts
from
what
you're
sounding
like
today.
That's
supposed
to
be
kind
of
how
to
help
really
build
our
future
of
really
housing
people
and
how
people
can
be
really
housed
more
and
have
a
more
stable
environment.
N
You
know
the
the
kovitz
funding,
that's
not
just
from
the
federal
level,
but
it's
gone
to
the
state
level
that
you
know
they've
built
up.
You
know
really
massive
accounts
within
state
government
sources
that
we
can
we'll.
We
will
be
depending
on
year
after
year
in
our
future,
and
that
we'll
be
able
to
more
pay
for
services
for
long-term
housing
for
people
it's
a
really
stabilize
and
get
on
their
feet
for
families
to
get
on
their
feet.
N
Obviously,
I
mean
that's
what
the
county
is
working
on
at
the
county
level,
how
to
house
our
families.
They
have
a
real
important
goal
to
do
that
and
I
hope
you
can
follow
suit
to
really
offer
a
stable
setting
for
people,
and
this
is
the
work
that
sounds
like
today.
That
is
towards
that
I
mean
it's
basically,
it's
our
lives,
work
we've
just
geared
for
this.
Our
whole
lives
and
we
have
a
more
of
a
chance
to
do
this.
N
I
hope
these
are
the
good
practices
how
we
organize
ourselves
to
do
this
good
work
at
this
time
and
in
the
next
few
years.
Something
should
hopefully
be
really
blossoming.
So
good
luck
in
these
efforts,
and
thanks
for
your
time
and
and
patience
and
good
luck
in
our
understanding
of
our
future.
Thank
you.
B
I,
don't
see
any
hands
up
from
colleagues,
maybe
I'll
jump
in
with
a
couple
questions.
First,
I
understand
and
agree
with
the
allocations
make
sense,
I'm
curious,
Within,
These
buckets
which
of
the
funds
will
be
used
to
support
existing
contracts
and
programs
and
and
if
we
or,
if
we're
going
to
be
actually
putting
out
new
rfps
for
any
of
these
dollars.
AT
Hello,
the
prevention,
the
homelessness
prevention
system
is
actually
transitioning
from
destination
home
over
to
the
county
of
Santa
Clara,
so
that
will
create
a
new
contract,
same
work
and
and
then
we
will
kind
of
be
expanding.
Our
our
existing
tbra
contracts
with
this
money
and
and
perhaps
a
little
bit
of
an
employee
employment
component.
So
an
enhanced
version
of
what
we
have
right
now
got.
B
AC
B
AC
Yes,
they're
working
actually
right
now,
we
have
just
started
meeting
with
the
county
and
destination
home
to
work
through
the
numbers,
because
one
of
the
things
that
happened
most
recently
was
that
they're.
Finding
that
the
need
in
terms
of
the
individual
need
for
support
is
much
greater
than
what
they
originally
budgeted
on.
AC
B
Yeah,
that's
interesting
and
not
totally
unexpected,
but
important
to
understand.
Thank
you,
okay
and
then.
Finally,
just
on
the
administration
and
planning
piece,
my
quick
back
of
the
envelope
math
says
that's
about
15
of
the
total
which
feels
high,
but
I
could
be
wrong.
Can
you
help
me
understand
the
1.75
million
in
the
fourth
Lino.
AC
That
is
the
HUD
allowable
amount,
so
they
put
a
cap
and
the
housing
department
typically
takes
the
entire
cap
and
I
have
to
say
it
has
never
been
enough
in
order
to
provide
the
level
of
administrative
support
that
we
need
in
order
to
oversee
all
of
the
federal
funds
that
we
receive.
And
so
all
these
dollars
help
to
support
the
department
and
to
ensure,
as
you've
just
went
through,
that
audit
report,
that
we
are
actually
meeting
all
the
federal
requirements
of
these
programs
and
they
are
vast
and
so.
B
B
AM
AC
And
the
one
thing
I
might
add
is:
if
you
know
we
have
a
spending
deadline
on
all
these
programs.
So
as
we
monitor
this,
the
funding
and
what
we
need
we'll
be
able
to
tell
if
we
actually
need
all
of
that
1.7
as
we
allocate
positions,
because
this
is
over
time
as
well,
we
allocate
we
have
to
do
one
part
of
the
program
and
then
we
have
to
monitor
and
close
out
the
program.
AC
AM
AM
AC
AC
AM
AT
AM
AL
Thank
you,
I
was
just
curious
in
terms
of
when
we're
looking
at
these
numbers
of
outcomes,
whether
or
not
they
are
unduplicated
or
I.
Don't
know
how
how
we
look
at
these
numbers
or
are
they
kind
of
like
a
estimate,
you
know?
Is
it
a
range
or
I,
because
I
know
that
people
move
from
one
to
the
other,
and
can
you
know
sort
of
like
move
on
progressively,
but
I
I
was
just
curious
in
terms
of.
Is
this
your
like
an
estimate
of
unduplicated
or
not
or.
B
AU
AU
My
name
is
Omar
passens
I'm,
a
deputy
city
manager,
with
a
focus
on
preventing
and
ending
homelessness
and
managing
its
impacts.
I'm
joined
today
by
my
colleagues,
Jim
ortball
lead
for
special
projects
in
the
city,
manager's
office,
Jackie,
Morales,
Fran,
director
of
the
city's
housing
department
and
Matt
lesch,
director
of
the
public
works
department.
We
are
here
to
share
an
update
about
our
ongoing
work
to
improve
our
community
with
quality,
supportive
emergency
interim
housing.
AU
AU
So
staff
continues
to
move
forward
based
on
mayor
and
Council
direction,
that
these
new
emergency
interim
housing
sites
be
located
in
each
community
and
the
sites
are
proving
to
be
positive
additions
to
the
communities
in
which
they
are
located.
The
sites
are
clean,
quiet
and
well
maintained
supportive
for
people
in
search
in
search
of
permanence
and
they're,
safe
places
to
rest,
get
Services
connect
to
health
care
and
job
opportunities
and
more.
AU
It
is
important
to
understand
that
there
are
more
than
one
metric
for
what
constitutes
success
for
eih
communities.
One
key
metric
is
whether
a
person
is
ultimately
helped
into
a
permanent
home
which
ends
their
experience
of
homelessness.
Another
key
success
metric,
though,
is
whether
the
placement
enabled
a
person
to
stay
off
the
street,
removing
some
of
the
suffering
and
difficulty
associated
with
unsheltered
homelessness.
Since
2020,
when
San
Jose
opened
its
first
interim
housing
site,
the
sites
have
served
over
1100
people
with
69
percent
moving
to
permanent
or
transitional
housing.
AU
AV
Thank
you
Omar.
If
you
could
move
the
next
slide,
please
yeah!
So
this.
This
slide
that
you
see
here
shows
our
progress
towards
the
city
goal
of
1
000
interim
housing
units
in
our
city.
During
the
Emergency
Operations
period
of
the
covid
pandemic,
the
city
quickly
delivered
most
of
the
almost
400
beds
that
are
in
operation
today,
with
the
benefit
of
being
sequa
exempt.
AV
96
beds
are
in
the
final
construction
stages
at
the
Guadalupe
site,
near
our
Police
Headquarters
off
the
Guadalupe
Parkway,
and
then
construction
is
scheduled
to
be
complete
in
April,
with
opening
in
May,
so
we'll
be
almost
at
500
units
by
May.
So,
halfway
to
the
goal,
two
projects
are
in
the
pipeline
that
will
deliver
almost
300
beds,
the
roof,
Ferrari
expansion
and
the
Monterey
Branham
project.
AV
Caltrans
has
signed
a
letter
of
intent
to
extend
our
lease
by
about
17
years
on
that
site
and
to
expand
the
footprint,
so
we
can
add
the
additional
units
so
a
critical
step
in
advancing
that
Expansion
Project.
The
goal
is
to
procure
a
contractor
award
a
contract
and
be
under
construction
by
the
end
of
this
calendar
year.
AV
The
last
four
slides
four
sites
on
this
slide
represent
sites
the
city
council
as
authorized
movement
forward
on.
Yet
we
continue
with
evaluation,
and
some
obstacles
remain
related
to
site
control
practicality,
whether
we
can
actually
construct
a
project
in
that
location,
so
in
District
4,
the
VTA
is
still
evaluating
the
future
use
of
the
Cerrone
yard.
We've
been
in
contact
with
them.
We've,
certainly
let
them
know
our
desire
and
intent
to
move
at
that
location.
But
VTA
is
still
evaluating
that
location
in
District
10
at
the
Cottle
site.
AV
We
are
working
with
VTA
on
an
access
agreement
to
the
site
to
be
able
to
survey
it,
which
is
the
first
step
in
doing
the
design
of
a
project
on
on
both
of
those
sites.
We
are
closely
working
with
VTA.
In
fact,
we
have
a
meeting
scheduled
them
on
April
7th
to
really
discuss
where
we're
at
and
what
our
opportunity
is
to
move
forward
on
both
of
those
sites
in
terms
of
the
last
two
sites
on
the
slide,
the
85,
Great,
Oaks
and
85
Santa
Teresa.
AV
Obviously,
we
wanted
to
move
forward
with
the
coddle
we're
still
trying
to
do
that.
85
Great
Oaks
has
a
definite
viability
as
well.
We've
been
working
with
an
adjacent
property
owner
who's,
developing
a
project
and,
and
our
effort
really
has
been
to
determine,
can
they
co-exist?
We
think
we're
coming
to
the
conclusion
that
they
can
so
that
could
be
a
definite
viable
site.
We
are
waiting
for
the
outcome
on
the
paddle
roadside
to
see
which
of
those
makes
the
most
sense
to
move
forward.
AV
AU
Jim
in
in
the
spring
of
spring
of
this
year,
the
managers
budget
addendum
will
be
submitted
for
Alternatives
back
in
November.
There
were
a
couple
of
items
that
were
directed
by
mayor
council,
including
evaluation
of
enhanced
Neighborhood
Services,
and
also
some
costing
out
no
encampment
zone,
so
those
will
be
part
of
a
manager's
budgeted
end.
Also
later
this
spring,
the
housing
department
will
come
back,
as
Jackie
mentioned,
actually
I.
B
Great
thanks
so
much
for
the
update
and
I
I
really
appreciate
all
the
work
everybody
in
the
box
and
your
your
teams
have
have
done
to
help
accelerate
these
Solutions
I
know
it's
been
a
very
involved
process,
but
also
an
area
where
we've
seen
that
we
have
an
ability
to
move
the
needle
fairly
quickly
and
cost
effectively
when
we
focus
on
it.
So
I'd
say
it's
a
very,
very
promising
and
I
just
appreciate
that
we're
continuing
to
build
that
pipeline.
Okay,
we'll
come
back
to
Council
in
a
moment.
Let's
go
to
public
comment.
First.
C
N
I
know
in
San
Francisco
they
had
in
the
beginning
of
the
year
and
last
year
you
know
they
were
going
through
a
lot
with
you
know
their
fentanyl
use
and
how
to
address
those
sort
of
issues.
They
were
initially
choosing
a
path
of
law
enforcement,
and
you
know
jail
time.
You
know
tight
tight-knit
City
would
solve
the
issues.
I
I,
don't
think
it
was
the
right
way
to
go.
There
was
a
group
that
was
a
coalition
on
homelessness
in
San
Francisco.
N
If
they're,
a
really
good
group
and
they've
pulled
together
reporting
from
a
whole
bunch
of
sources,
you
know
advocacy
throughout
the
city
to
develop
I
think
what's
can
we
consider
a
really
good
housing
plan
and
how
to
find
housing
for
people
and
and
emergency
services
for
people
in
Desperate
situations?
And
it's
it's
interesting
work
I
think
I've
sent
it
to
you.
N
N
Don't
think
we
have
to
worry
about
that
so
much
here
in
the
South
Bay
as
much,
but
it's
interesting
where
Coalition
on
homelessness
in
San,
Francisco,
reporting
and
I'll
drop
that
off
to
you
guys
I've
been
sending
around
to
different
cities,
so
they
can
get
a
sense
of
their
work
and
their
intentions.
It's
really
interesting
stuff,
and
hopefully
it
can
help
these
sort
of
questions
and
overall
process.
So
thank
you.
AL
Thank
you
so
much
for
your
work.
It's
it's
really
important
and
you
know
I
know
that
you're
working
on
these
other
VTA
sites,
I,
was
curious.
If
you
had
any
success
with
looking
at
the
faith-based
community,
I
know
that
there
was
talk
of
that
in
the
past
and
and
I,
don't
know
if
that's
moving
forward
or
not.
AC
So
several
years
ago
the
housing
department
worked
on
an
ordinance
to
allow
shelters
to
be
opened
in
broader
areas
and
that
included
faith-based
organizations
and
they
have
been
opening
up
and
most
of
them
have
been
like
revolving
or
rotating
shelters
because
of
capacity
issues
or
concerns.
So
we've
also
had
faith-based
groups
use
their
land
in
order
to
cite
affordable
housing
development.
So
we
have
one
that
is
currently
looking
for
funding
and
I
think
we'll
be
breaking
ground
and
I
think
another
one
has
looked
at
potentially
doing
some
temporary
housing
as
well.
AC
AL
Excellent
I
was
also
wondering
in
terms
of
on-site
Medical
Services.
If
you
know
that's
something
that
you're
working
with
the
county
on
or
providing
other
types
of
services.
I,
don't
know
if
they
have
like
anything.
Mobile
I
know
that
supervisor
submittian
had
talked
about
services
having
mobile
services.
So
I
was
just
curious
if,
if
any
of
that
is
is
going
on.
AC
AU
AL
AU
You
vice
versa.
The
one
thing
I'd
add
there.
There
are
two
fairly
exciting
developments.
Actually
one
is
the
state
adopted,
Cal
aim,
California,
advancing
and
innovating
in
Medicaid,
maybe
about
a
year
or
so
ago,
and
one
of
the
opportunities
that
has
emerged
is
the
health
plans
are
also
interested
and
and
have
engaged
in
how
they
might
be
able
to
help
participate
in
some
of
those.
AU
The
needs
that
we
have
at
those
facilities
and
then
also
we've
been
contacted
by
federally
qualified
Health
Centers
about
the
opportunities
that
might
exist
for
for
them
to
operate
and
provide
some
service
insight
as
well.
So
I
think
there
are
a
few
additional
opportunities
and
we're
I
think
working
collaboratively
as
a
city
to
try
to
explore
all
of
them
with
the
county
and
our
other
partners.
Yeah.
AL
AC
AL
B
AS
AS
About
the
delay,
I
want
to
thank
thank
you
for
staff,
for
the
report
I'm
glad
to
see
progress
being
made,
it's
a
good
overview
on
the
the
timeline
that
you
had
on
page
five.
You
don't
have
to
go
back
to
it,
but
it
you
know
you
only
you
have
a
couple
of
sites
or
you
basically
have
the
Guadalupe
site
for
2023
I,
see
sites
listed
as
2024..
AV
Councilor
Cohen
I
would
say
no
it's
it's
not
possible.
We
have
to
have
some
level
of
site
control
or
some
clear
signal
from
the
owners
that
we
can
move
forward
at
those
locations
to
to
have
schedules,
particularly
schedules
that
are
that
soon
in
time.
So
I
I,
don't
it's
unfortunate,
but
that's
the
reality
of
working
with
other
people's
land.
When
we
don't
have
city
land.
AS
Okay,
that
and
that's
a
bit
disappointing
I
mean
we're
still
in
March
and
I
thought
that
you
know
we
should.
These
are
somewhat
rapid
stand-ups
so
that,
if
we're
able
to
get
some
agreements
in
the
next
month
or
two
that
we
would
be
able
to
move
forward
faster,
one
of
the
things
we
talked
about
when
we
were
discussing
this
last
year
and
it
was
actually
I-
think
it
was
in
the
memo
that
that
I
was
co-authored.
AS
For,
although
I
can't
keep
track
of
all
this
anymore
was
try
to
work
in
parallel,
so
that
we're
finding
vendors
who
can
provide
these
these
eih
structures
and
and
kind
of
planning
that,
in
parallel
with
negotiating
for
the
site,
so
that
we'd
be
able
to
move
more
quickly
once
we
get
a
site.
Is
that
still
something
that
we're
we're
trying
to.
AV
Do
so
so
we're
doing
a
couple
of
things
in
that
area?
We
we
totally
appreciate
the
goal
and
agree.
We
want
to
move
as
expeditiously
as
we
can.
What
Public
Works
is
doing
now
is
we
have
a
request
for
qualifications
prepared
to
put
out
to
shortlist
design
Builders
so
that,
once
we
have
a
specific
project,
that's
designed
we
would
have.
We
would
put
that
out
to
a
competitive
process
so
that
that
short
list
can
put
in
proposals
on
that,
and
we
could
speed
the
time
that
Council
can
award
the
contract
and
move
forward.
AV
What
the
reality
of
what
we're
facing
is
that
each
site
has
kind
of
unique
parameters
and
what
were
specifically
designing
towards
has
varied
quite
a
bit,
and
you
know
the
types
of
units,
the
vendors
that
we've
used
have
varied
and
we're
not
feeling
like
we're
in
a
position
to
go
out
and
Advance
procure
and
have
buildings
on
site
kind
of
you
know
at
the
city.
If
you
will,
that
would
necessarily
match
the
sites
that
we
ultimately
got
approved.
So
it
would
be
a
kind
of
a
pretty
significant
risk
to
go
down
that
path.
AV
AS
AS
AV
AS
AS
You
know
we're
in
the
third
year
of
of
being
in
a
situation
where
it's
urgent,
that
we
get
an
RV
parking
site
and
we
always
seem
to
be
months
out
from
it
and
I
don't
want
to
head
into
2024
and
still
not
have
a
place
to
begin
to
to
settle,
RVs
and
I
know
that
staff
and
and
your
team
are
feel
the
urgency
as
well
I
know.
Jennifer
has
expressed
on
behalf
of
the
city
that
we've
got
an
urgency
on
this
one.
AS
AS
I
also
want
to
just
re
reiterate:
I
know
this
again
wasn't
part
of
this
update,
but
last
year
we
talked
about
making
sure
this
isn't
limited
to
public
sites,
but
also
private
property
and
I
know
that
that's
being
done,
I,
don't
know
that
we're
prepared
to
have
any
conversations
publicly
about
any
potential
private
sites,
but
I
look
forward
to
getting
updates
when
we
can
about
additional
sites.
That
might
not
be
on
the
list
that
you
just
presented.
D
AU
You
Council
thank
you
councilmember.
This
is
Omar
passengers,
the
city,
manager's
office,
I.
Think
the
one
thing
I
I
do
want
to
urge,
or
just
really
underscore
for
for
you
and
for
all
of
your
colleagues
in
the
American
council
is
that
notion
of
urgency
is:
is
driving
us
to
do
lots
of
prep
work
behind
the
scenes
so
that
when
we
get
various
green
lights,
we're
ready
to
go
at
that
time.
So
just
there
will
be
opportunities
for
more.
AU
AS
You
know
to
see
on
a
chart
that
says
that
we
might
have
450
units
available
by
the
end
of
this
year
in
order
to
get
to
our
thousand
we're
talking
another
year
out.
I
know
you
don't
want
to
promise
things
you
can't
deliver,
but
I'm
hopeful
that
we'll
be
able
to
to
be
much
further
along
than
what
the
timeline
in
the
presentation
suggests.
B
Thank
you,
counselor
Cohen
and
I
very
much
share
the
sentiment.
I
appreciate
the
sense
of
urgency
you're
bringing
to
this
and
I
think
you
asked
all
the
all
the
right
questions
also
want
to
just
acknowledge
your
efforts
to
advocate
to
our
partners
at
VTA
to
express
the
importance
of
Cerrone
and
caudal
and
helping
us
get
to
our
goal
here.
So
thank
you
for
being
proactive
on
that
front.
We're
going
to
bring
it
back
to
in
person
and
go
to
councilmer
batra.
AM
Well,
thank
you
very
much
for
the
presentation,
even
a
bigger
thanks
for
personally
hosting
me
at
the
Monterey
Monterey
site,
the
emergency
or
interim
site,
and
it
was
really
nice
that
I
was
able
to
speak
to
one
of
the
people,
two
of
the
people
who
volunteered
without
violating
their
privacy
or
anything
volunteered
to
talk
to
us
and
Jackie
and
Jim.
Both
were
there
to
give
me
personally
the
tour.
AM
So
when
we
are
talking
about
interim
housing,
I
have
touched
it
I
felt
it
I
seen
it
I
know
what
it
is
and
I've
seen
the
resident,
and
it
was
really
heartening
to
see
that
this
particular
individual
was
very
uplifted
in
her
spirits
and
even
though
she
was
at
this
emergency
interim
housing,
she
was
looking
to
a
very
bright
future
and
part
of
our
future.
Was
that
once
I
get
out
of
here
to
my
own
housing,
I'm
going
to
be
coming
back
to
help
others?
Who.
D
AM
So,
thank
you
very
much
for
giving
me
that
personally,
the
tour
and
and
giving
me
the
opportunity
to
talk
this
in
this
resident
I
have
some
questions
about
one
I
think
it
was
asked,
but
I
may
not
have
captured
it
about,
or
these
residents
eligible
based
on
their
age.
Are
they
eligible
for
medical
or
any
of
those
programs?
Do
they
sign
up
or
you
are
they
dependent
on
I
know
they
were
receiving
medical
help,
but
are
they
able
to
based
on
their
other
benefits?
Can
they
use
those,
even
though,
in
this
interim
facility.
AU
AU
Sometimes
we
have
some
experiences
where
we'll
actually
work
with
other
partners
so
that
they
have
an
exit
strategy
at
the
time
that
they
show
up.
That's
one
of
the
things
that
the
county
and
the
city
are
partnering
on
at
Pedro
Street
as
an
example.
So
there
are
a
number
of
ways
to
really
work
hard
to
align
with
our
regional
partners,
and
so
part
of
it
is
figuring
out
what
those
other
eligibilities
are
along
the
way.
Okay,.
AM
Okay
and
other
question
is,
as
we
are,
trying
to
expand
these
facilities,
there's
a
certain
amount
of
reaction
from
The,
Neighbors
or
neighbors
allowed
to
be
given
a
tour
by
you,
wherever
you're,
considering
the
new
site.
If
they
want
to
really
see
how
your
other
site
is
operating,
because
what
I
saw
takes
away
a
lot
of
objections
from
the
people,
because
this
side
is
extremely
well
managed.
It's
very
quiet.
You,
human
can't
tell
that
there
is
a
site
like
that
there,
okay,
so
are
you
able
to
give
them
to
or
to
the
affected
people.
AU
AU
There
was
an
inter
some
interest
list
that
have
been
developed
already
and
and
so
we're
in
the
process
of
figuring
out
how
we
can
make
to
your
point,
make
the
reality
of
what
emergency
interim
housing
is
more
more
real
for
for
members
of
the
community.
So
they
really
understand
that
it
is
a
positive
attribute
addition
Jackie.
Would
you
like
to
yeah.
AC
The
only
thing
I
would
add
is
I
just
want
to
call
out
a
council
member
Davis
who
works
so
hard
with
her
community
groups
that
are
supportive
of
these
sites
or
that
end
up
working
with
the
sites
once
they're
established
it's
one
of
the
great
ways
that
the
council
can
partner
with
the
administration
is
your
help
in
identifying
key
people
in
your
neighborhoods.
That
would
be
supportive
or
are
on
the
sense,
but
would
like
to
see
a
chore
and
getting
them
engaged.
AC
AM
All
right,
thank
you
for
that
and
following
up
council
member
David
Gohan's
point
about,
is
it
possible
Jim
to
have
five
or
six
design
cookie
cutter
designed
ready
based
on
okay?
If
the
site
is
like
this
I'm
going
to
use
these
kind
of
boxes
and
all
that
and
then
when
you
actually
find
the
site-
and
actually
you
have
some
of
the
sites
under
consideration,
anyways,
so
five
or
six
design-
and
you
say:
okay,
this
site
I,
think
design
number
three
will
fit
better
than
design
number
two
and
we
can
move
a
little
faster.
AM
AV
I
think
it's
an
evolving
program.
I
I,
don't
think
it's
standardized
counselor
to
the
point
where
we
can
have
an
inventory
of
modular
units
available
and
as
the
sites
come
up,
we
we
install
them
and
connect
them
that
type
of
thing.
If
we
had
a
more
ready
supply
of
square
two
and
a
half
acre
sites
across
the
city,
I
think
we'd
be
much
more
in
that
business.
We're
using
Remnant
Parcels
a
lot
of
unique
situations,
and
you
know
I,
don't
want
to
take
up
too
much
more
of
your
time
here.
AV
I'm
happy
to
talk
individually
with
any
of
you,
but
we've
had
a
different
circumstance
of
unit
for
every
project
we've
built.
One
of
them
were
built
by
volunteers
through
Habitat
for
Humanity.
One
of
them
were
sourced
through
one
of
our
vendors,
the
first
modular
ones.
We
used
another
one
were
donated
by
a
philanthropist
who
picked
the
the
vendor
out
of
Idaho
and
paid
for
him
a
second
one
again
the
philanthropist
bought
them
and
picked
the
vendor.
AV
So
each
time
we
have
unique
and
evolving
circumstances
and
I'm
in
the
in
the
position
of
trying
to
find
sites.
So
we
haven't
gotten
to
a
place
of
standardizing
I
think
it
is
worth
another
discussion
as
we
may
open
up
new
sites.
I
think
we're
always
in
that
mode,
but
I
think
through
internal
discussion,
I
think
we're
doing
it.
The
right
way,
currently
I'm
happy
to
revisit
that,
though,
and
and
if
there's
an
opportunity
in
in
the
coming
year
to
to
go
that
route,
we're
open
to
it.
AV
AM
AV
Not
exclusively
city
funding,
but
we're
trying
to
leverage
our
other
sources
of
funding
as
much
as
we
can.
Public,
Works
and
housing
are
teaming
on
a
potential
home
key
application
for
the
roof
Ferrari
site.
We're
working
with
the
state
on
a
new
program
at
the
mayor
was
communicating
with
the
governor
about.
There
are
a
number
of
different
opportunities
where
we're
trying
to
stretch
our
funding,
and
we
may
be
in
a
position
to
move
many
of
these
sites.
AM
AB
E
E
I
hope
that
we're
able
to
to
answer
them
so
I,
so
I
definitely
I.
Definitely
like
the
69
of
residents
remain
unhoused
after
exiting
a
site
a
little
bit
concerned
about
the
21,
no
information
I'm,
not
sure
if
they
disappeared
off
the
face
of
planet
or
we
just
weren't
able
to
capture
capture
that
data.
E
Tiny
homes,
though,
are
important
might
not
be
for
everyone,
because
this
was
a
man
who
who,
for
30
years,
spent
his
his
his
life
in
a
6x6
cell
and
most,
as
you
know,
our
tiny
homes
are
six
by
six
or
maybe
even
smaller,
or
share
with
other
individuals.
So
you
know
we
just
have
to
be
really
cognizant
of
that,
and
and
and
we
have
to
learn
that
tiny
homes
might
not
be
for
everyone,
but
it
is.
It
is
very
important
work.
E
AC
So
the
21
we
didn't
have
any
data,
and
actually
earlier
we
discussed
during
the
audit,
there
was
a
question
of
how
do
we
Prof?
How
do
we
increase
the
performance
of
the
providers
and
actually
I
was
reminded
by
a
staff
person
that
I
guess
there's
legislation
that
got
passed,
that
when
we
received
State
funding
a
requirement
to
actually
improve
the
data
collection?
AC
And
so
anyone
who
receives
our
funding
now
has
to
sign
an
agreement
that
they
are
going
to
do
a
much
better
job
in
their
data
collection
and
ensure
that
their
data
is
accurate,
that
they're
keeping
in
touch
with
people
that
are
living
on
the
sites.
And
so
we
actually
think
because
we
are
implementing
these
new
requirements
that
are
nonprofits,
will
be
able
to
do
a
better
job.
AC
E
AV
Would
add
this
councilman?
It's
maybe
not
the
entire
system,
but
on
the
tour
that
councilman
Robert
referenced
that
Jackie
and
I
were
on
home.
First
indicated
it's
about
170
days
was
the
typical
time
frame
that
people
so
that
we
want
to
have
people
into
transition
within
six
months.
170
is
just
inside
that
so
home
first
is
working
to
that
metric.
Great.
E
E
AC
E
I
do
want
to
I
want
to
give
a
huge
kudos
to
to
Omar
I
know
that
as
a
candidate
I
went
to
the
which
one
was,
it
I
think
the
the
district
four
one
that
was
held
at
the
at
the
Berryessa
Library
and
it
was
a
very
divisive
and
very
contentious,
and
this
individual
Omar
handled
it
with
professionalism
and
just
you
know,
hit
hit
the
marks
and
you
know,
ease
the
ease,
the
the
community
that
was
there.
It
was
I,
wouldn't
I,
wouldn't
I,
wouldn't
if
I
was
paid,
10
million
dollars.
E
AV
AC
E
AV
We
don't
expect
it
to
have
the
same
prorated
cost,
because
we
already
have
a
supervisor
on
site.
We
have
certain
services
on
site,
so
we're
working
through
the
specific
service
enhancements
that
are
needed.
Additional
Services
needed
to
come
up
with
an
appropriate
level
of
service
and
cost.
We
don't
think
it
will
be
kind
of
like
another
site
because
it's
the
same
site:
okay,
so,
and
we're
working
through
that.
Now
all.
AC
R
B
AC
B
E
B
Thank
you
for
that,
and
then
thank
you
and
the
next
item.
We
will
talk
about
the
operating
costs
associated
with
another
site,
that
is,
that
is
more
permanent
housing,
okay,
so
other
hands.
Other
questions:
okay,
just
I
I
just
want
to
get
into
this
cost
of
operations
question
as
well
to
pick
up
on
where
customer
Torres
just
was,
which
specifically
around
health
care
costs.
B
AU
AU
Mean
I
would
say:
yes,
I
mean
they,
they
probably
get
sick
of
getting
my
email.
No,
it's
they're
good
good
partners
like
we're
we're
really
trying
they
want
to
help.
We
we
want
them
to
help.
In
fact,
frankly,
many
of
the
people
that
they
are
most
interested
in
are
in
the
city
of
San
Jose,
so
behooves
them
to
to
work
with
us
and.
AU
So
I
we
have
to
tease
out
the
two
probably
won't
get
too
far
down
in
the
weeds,
but
but
so
there's
the
the
sort
of
table
that
Jackie
was
talking
about
and
and
actually
the
way
that
the
state
set
up
that
structure.
It's
like
a
one-time
access
to
certain
resources,
and
so
the
county
is
the
county,
is
the
the
lead
and
it's
a
narrower
usage
of
the
resource.
In
addition
to
that,
I
think
the
opportunities
that
also
exist
are
some.
AU
Some
of
them
are
space
dependent
because
there's
like
federally
qualified
health
centers
that
are
willing
to
partner,
but
we
already
have
the
places
in
existence,
and
so
there's
not
a
like
a
little
community
room
to
set
up
their
their
clinic
right,
it's
more
complicated
than
that.
So
that's
a
piece
that
I
think
we
still
need
to
work
out
and
then
we're
just
trying
to
find
out
from
them
in
in
the
case
of
the
health
plan,
specifically
what
their
sort
of
appetite
is.
It's
it's.
AU
B
All
right
thanks,
I'd
love
to
learn
more
offline
and
then
I
just
encourage
my
colleagues.
If
you
are
in
conversations
with
leaders
at
VTA,
I
think
you
know,
we've
had
a
lot
of
conversation
last
year
about
both
the
caudal
and
Cerrone
sites.
Council
approved
moving
forward
with
them,
unfortunately
doesn't
feel
like
these
sites
are
moving
forward
with
the
urgency
that
I'd
hope
just
given
the
crisis
that
we
see
out
on
our
streets
every
day.
So
I
just
encourage
my
colleagues
to
think
about.
B
Maybe
weighing
in
and
making
known
your
you
know
our
Collective
support
for
seeing
these
sites
be
be
locations
where
we
can
provide
transitional
housing
to
our
most
vulnerable
residents.
I
think
expressing
that
urgency
would
would
be
valuable
and
otherwise
I
think
councilor.
Torres
was
your
hand.
Is
it
up
again
or
one?
Yes,.
E
E
And
and
I
did
hear
before
I
hand
over
I
yield.
My
the
rest
of
my
time,
I
did
hear
Jim.
You
say
that
we
get
multiple
ways
of
funding
and
that's
that's
incredibly
important,
because
we
all
know
that
it's
going
to
take
all
of
us
to
end
homelessness,
right,
non-profits,
philanthropists,
City,
County
Federal,
you
name
it
so.
AE
AC
AC
So
while
we
talk
about
you
know
the
five
thousand
six
people,
six
thousand
people
we've
housed
they're,
not
all
going
into
permanent
Supportive
Housing
permanent
Supportive
Housing
is
one
part
of
the
solution,
but
the
solution
to
exiting
people
out
of
their
state
of
homelessness
involves
a
much
greater
network
of
people,
and
so
we
need
landlords
who
are
willing
to
accept
tenants
as
well.
That
might
have
you
know
a
more
spotty
tenant
history.
AC
Great
and
I
don't
have
a
presentation,
but
I
just
wanted
to
make
a
quick
just
brief
comment,
because
you
had
mentioned:
we
were
talking
about
operating
costs.
This
is
a
grant
to
provide
some
operating
costs,
but
it
is
really
based
on
operating
costs
to
manage
and
run
it
as
a
shelter.
So
it
is
not
at
this
point
being
converted.
The
construction
dollars
will
be
used
to
really
bring
the
site
back
up
to
more
habitable
living
conditions.
We're
really
happy
I'm
excited
that
the
housing
authority
and
its
Partners
agreed
to
take
on
this
challenge.
AC
C
AW
I
can't
believe
this
is
my
first
time
speaking
to
this.
This
Council
in
person
so
really
excited
to
be
here
so
good
evening,
mayor
Mahan
and
council
members.
My
name
is
Preston
Prince
I'm,
the
executive
director
of
the
Santa
Clara
County
Housing
Authority,
mayor
Mahan.
You
are
absolutely
right.
We
can't
sit
idly
by
when
we
have
people
who
don't
have
homes
and
who
are
unhoused
on
the
street
and
on
a
cold
and
rainy
night
like
tonight.
It's
that
much
more
morally
important.
AW
That
is
why
this
partnership
between
the
Santa
Clara,
County,
Housing
Authority
and
the
city
of
San,
Jose,
going
on
now
for
four
decades,
maybe
longer
at
surestay,
is
really
so
important.
Thank
you.
Councilmember
Davis,
for
your
guidance
and
being
a
close
partner
on
this
complicated
project.
I
I
have
to
give
a
shout
out
to
our
partners
at
life.
Moves
in
Jamboree
our
community
is
better
because
of
their
hard
work
and
thank
you,
Jackie
Morales,
Fran,
Rachel,
vanderveen,
Michael,
Reynolds
and
Rosalie
from
the
city's
housing
team.
Your
dedication
to
the
unhoused
community
is
unmatched.
AW
Unparalleled
surestay
is
the
city's
first
home
Hotel
acquisition
and
happened
two
years
ago
under
round
one.
It
is
a
challenging
project
to
balance
the
first
phase
of
providing
housing
to
meet
in
the
immediate
health
and
safety
needs
of
residents
that
includes
rehab
and
stabilization,
and
the
second
phase
of
providing
permanent
support
of
housing.
We
at
the
Housing
Authority
Embrace
these
complicated
projects
and
with
Jamboree
in
collaboration
with
your
staff,
we're
making
it
that
much
more
robust
and
I
realize
I'm
about
to
run
out
and
I
apologize
for
that
I
have
more
to
say.
AW
Let
me
just
say
we're
really
excited.
We
have
a
number
of
values
about
protecting
the
people
who
live
there,
making
sure
that
there's
no
displacement.
We
want
to
ensure
that
interim
housing
is
a
safe
place.
We
believe
in
Equitable
and
accessible
housing
that
creates
healthy
social
interactions.
We
look
forward
to
working
with
residents
the
city
Neighbors
on
this
vibrant,
creating
a
Vibrant,
Community
and
I
really
hope.
After
tonight,
we
no
longer
say
sure
same
come
up
with
a
new
name.
Thank
you.
B
C
AX
Good
evening,
mayor
and
council
members,
my
name
is
Michael
Massey
I'm,
the
chief
development
officer
for
Jamboree.
We
also
in
attendance
there
to
tonight.
In
addition
to
me,
being
remote,
Catherine
Klein
McFadden,
our
vice
president
of
development
in
Northern
California,
is
in
attendance
as
well,
but
I
just
wanted
to
introduce
Jamboree
very
very
briefly,
and
just
let
you
know
how
thrilled
we
are
to
be
a
part
of
this
team.
AX
AB
AB
If
these
Housing
Authority
is
a
government
entity
who
boards
member
are
pointed
by
the
County
Board
of
supervisor,
why
are
its
board
member
allowed
to
financially
benefit
from
the
news
of
tax
dollar
money
meant
to
support
our
unhoused
neighbor,
so
I've
moved
I
motion
to
move
this
for
a
two-week
deferral
to
understand
a
little
more
in
depth
of
this
particular
transaction.
If.
AM
B
AC
I
have
to
say,
I've
waited
a
very
long
time
for
the
residents,
the
elderly,
disabled
residents
and
sure
stay
to
be
provided
the
care
and
the
repairs
that
they
so
desperately
need.
The
Housing
Authority
is
a
quasi
governmental
agency.
The
board
is
appointed
by
the
Santa
Clara
County.
There
is
no
private
benefit
of
any
of
these
public
funds.
They
are
a
highly
regulated,
Federal
entity
and
you
know
I
would
give
Preston
just
a
brief
opportunity
to
just
talk
a
little
bit
about
the
structure
and
I
think
it
would
clear
it
up
tonight.
B
Y
AW
AW
So
the
Santa
Clara
County,
Housing
Authority,
was
created
under
the
Housing
Act
of
1937
at
the
federal
level,
which
allowed
states
to
create
legislation
that
allowed
cities
and
counties
to
create
housing
authorities.
So
the
Santa
Clara
County
Housing
Authority,
was
created
by
the
Board
of
Supervisors
to
address
blight
and
create
affordable
housing
within
Santa
Clara
County.
There
is
also
the
San
Jose
Housing
Authority,
which
the
Santa
Clara
County
Housing
Authority,
manages
and
cooperation
I.
Think
for
more
than
40
years
the
two
housing
authorities
have
been
working
together.
AW
The
corporations
have
been
formed
under
the
Housing
Authority
were
all
created
to
take
advantage
of
low-income
housing
tax
credits.
The
sole
members
of
those
corporations
are
the
managing
controlling
partner.
Our
entities
created
by
the
Housing
Authority,
where
it's
only
Housing
Authority
rep
Representatives,
who
are
on
the
board.
All
actions
taken
by
those
corporations
are
first
approved
by
the
Board
of
Commissioners,
who
are
appointed
by
the
Board
of
Supervisors
and
there's
no
Financial,
no
Financial
relationship
between
the
corporation
board
members
and
there's
no
remuneration
to
the
Board
of
Commissioners
for
any
of
their
work.
AW
We
do
feel
like
we
are
a
community,
the
community's
organization
to
address
affordable
housing
and
we
are,
as
Jackie
said,
we
are
quasi-governmental.
We,
our
audit
is
done
every
year.
It
is
a
component
unit
of
the
County's
audit,
so
we
are
our
highly
regulated.
Highly
everything
we
do
is
is
reviewed
at
the
federal
level
and
at
the
local
level,.
Y
B
K
AL
Yes,
I
too,
am
very
familiar
with
the
housing
authority
and
the
work
that
they
do
and
I
know
that
councilmember
Dawn
does
have
concerns.
My
suggestion
is
to
get
a
debrief
from
them
and
they've
had
extensive
work
throughout
the
county,
so
I
I
feel
very
comfortable
supporting
the
substitute
motion
and
yes
would
suggest
getting
in
touch
with
them
and
getting
a
much
deeper
knowledge
of
of
the
work
that
they
do.
AM
I
personally
am
very
well
aware
of
and
well
knowledgeable
about
the
Santa
Clara
Housing
Authority,
but
I
wanted
to
make
sure
that
my
colleague
was
comfortable
with
this
thing.
He
is
not
familiar.
He's
done
some
research,
so
that
is
why
I
made
the
second
supported
the
motion
and
given
him
the
chance
to
get
this
knowledge,
which
he
needs
to
be
comfortable
with
to
be
making
this
thing
and
if
it
would
not
have
hurt
in
any
way
giving
him
the
chance
to
learn
and
understand.
It
would
have
been
a
nice
thing
to
have
that
motion.
AB
AW
So
we
are
going
to
be
entering
into
negotiations
with
the
city
about
the
ownership
structure
down
the
road
I.
Imagine
we
are
going
to
apply
for
low-income
housing
tax
credits
that
will
require
a
limited
partnership
to
be
created,
so
there
would
be
an
entity
controlled
by
the
Housing
Authority,
but
so
there
is
a
transfer,
but
it's
all
about
taking
advantage
of
the
funding
mechanisms
available.
AW
There
is
no
way
for
the
housing
authority
to
sell
the
property
outright
without
going
through
the
Surplus
Land
Act,
Like,
Other
government
agencies
and,
of
course,
I
think
in
the
negotiations
that
the
director
of
housing
would
would
I
am
positive,
put
some
kind
of
clause
in
there
that,
in
the
event,
our
project
is
not
does
not
come
to
fruition,
that
there
is
a
transfer
back
to
the
city.
I.
AW
Imagine
and
I
should
also
say:
there's
all
kinds
of
documents
between
the
city
and
the
state
with
home,
key
that
govern
the
use
of
property
and
so
I'm
sure
that
there's
all
kinds
of
disposition
requirements
as
part
of
that,
so
there
might
be
a
transfer
to
one
of
the
entities
controlled
by
the
Housing
Authority.
But
it's
really
to
take
advantage
of
the
financing
in
yeah
the
financing
of
low-income
housing,
tax
credits.
AM
B
Your
resident
expert
on
the
site
so
I'll
be
supporting
the
substitute
motion,
though
I
did
have
a
question
about
operating
costs,
which
I
referenced
earlier
and
I
noticed
that
our
commitment
here
would
be
up
to
3
million
per
year
with
basically
three
one-year
contracts
at
the
discretion
of
the
city
manager,
which
seems
to
be
an
increase.
I
I
can't
tell
but
I
know
home
key
provided
1.3
million
for
two
years
of
operating
was
that
supplemented
by
City
funds?
Are
we
seeing
an
increase
in
the
operating
costs?
Yeah.
AC
What
we've
seen
is,
because
you
know
the
housing
authority
and
and
in
all
the
entities
they're
just
they're,
responding
to
a
program
in
a
way
and
designing
it.
The
way
that
they're
thinking
about
how
designing
it.
We
would
also
probably
go
back
to
the
Housing
Authority
into
Jamboree
to
talk
about
whatever
our
new
eih
requirements
are
in
terms
of
our
operating
philosophy,
to
see
how
we
can
apply
anything.
We
learn
through
our
eihs
to
this
facility
as
well,
because
they're
all
interim
housing
sites
right
and
so
any
lessons
learned
from
other
our
other
facilities.
AC
We
would
share
and
see
if
there's
any
way
that
we
could
drive
costs
down.
But
ultimately
these
are
they
in
order
to
achieve
results
which
is
to
have
people
exit
out
of
homelessness
into
a
permanent
slot
or
into
another
temporary
slot.
We
really
having
the
services
is
really
important,
and
when
you
see
our
annual
homeless
report,
you
will
see
in
places
where
we
lack
services
and
support
our
numbers
are
down
in
terms
of
our
ability
to
transition
people
out,
there's.
AC
And
and
that
three
million
is
kind
of
broken
up,
it's
broken
up
into
that
Services
contract
and
also
their
operational
contract,
which
is
their
property
management
piece
of
how
they
run
and
operate
it.
What
you
will
not
see
in
the
eihs,
because
it's
in
a
different
line
item
is
Public
Works
provides
a
lot
of
that
operating
and
maintenance
support,
so
we're
creating
a
whole
Public,
Works
team
of
I,
don't
know
three
or
four
or
five
people
who
are
now
going
to
be
responsible
for
overseeing
the
maintenance.
AC
B
Right
and
for
that
analysis
to
your
point,
it
should
be
Apples
to
Apples
to
be
fair,
so
we
should
be
baking
in
our
Public
Works
costs
on
our
on
our
other
sites.
To
be
to
be
fair,
okay,
well,
I
guess
the
point
would
simply
be
I
would
certainly
appreciate
if
we
are
and
I
guess,
I
just
expressed
this
to
you
Preston
that
as
we're
looking
at
reih
sites
and
trying
to
bring
down
operating
costs
and
leverage
whatever
efficiencies
we
can
just
help.
C
T
B
B
Aye,
thank
you.
Thank
you.
Okay.
We
are
at
the
end
of
the
afternoon
session.
Before
we
recess,
though
we
have
a
genderized
open
forum,
so
we're
going
to
take
open
Forum,
which
is
for
members
of
the
public
who
would
like
to
speak
on
anything
that
is
not
on
today's
agenda
for
everyone
who
just
arrived
welcome.
B
We
have
a
an
important
item
in
the
evening
session
that
I
believe
many
of
you
are
here
for
and
look
forward
to
hearing
everyone's
comments
at
that
time.
If
you
are
here
or
online
and
would
like
to
comment
on
anything
that
is
not
on
today's
agenda,
you,
as
per
the
agenda,
have
an
opportunity
to
do
that
now
and
then
we
will
recess
until
six
o'clock.
AY
Hello,
my
name
is
Justin
time
I'm
a
child
of
God
and
heir
to
the
throne,
a
coheir
with
Christ.
We
are
called
to
be
Kings
and
Priests
in
this
world.
I'm
a
voice
crying
out
in
the
wilderness.
I
love
you
all
and
God
loves
you
all,
but
I,
don't
trust
any
man
or
woman,
because
God
tells
me
not
to
only
to
put
his
trust
in
in
him
Psalm
118
8-9.
Do
you
know
what
the
word
Abracadabra
means
I
just
found
out
today?
It
means
in
Hebrew,
Father,
Son
and
Holy
Spirit
in
aramia
Aramaic.
AY
It
means
I
create
what
I
speak
in
Deuteronomy
22
5
says
a
man
should
not
dress
in
men's.
A
man
should
not
dress
in
women's
clothing,
it
is
an
abomination.
Proverbs
1
21
says
wisdom,
Cries,
Out,
Of,
The,
City,
Gate
and
I'm
crying
out
right
now,
Abracadabra
I
pray
that
you
would
break
the
Witchcraft
of
Medusa
perversion.
Confusion,
death,
child
sacrifice,
anything
that
is
not
of
the
Lord
I
pray
that
anything
Advocate
ever
I
pray.
You
would
remove
any
dynamonic
state.
That's
the
Demonic
snake
statue
in
our
city,
remove
it
Lord,
remove
demons
tormentors
aliens.
AY
Anything!
That's
not
of
you.
People
are
drinking
blood
filled
with
adrenaline
I
pray
that
you
remove.
Those
from
our
society
remove
any
vaccinations
mandates,
remove
any
evil.
Doers
from
amongst
us,
remove
the
poison
in
our
air,
in
the
food
and
in
our
in
our
air.
In
our
food.
Remove
human
trafficking
from
our
world
in
our
life,
Abracadabra
I
pray
for
your
children
to
live
in
a
new
world
filled
with
love,
joy,
laughter,
all
in
wonder,
I
pray
for
my
daughter,
Linnea
to
return
to
me.
AY
I
pray
for
your
kingdom
to
come
upon
the
Earth
as
it
is
in
heaven
open
our
eyes
to
see
your
glorious
Majesty
Abracadabra
I
pray
that
you
would
show
your
power
to
the
world
Here
and
Now.
Let
your
fresh
anointing
of
oil
flow.
May
your
Holy
Fire
fall
from
Heaven
in
Jesus
name
amen!
Thank
you
for
your
time.
N
Hi,
thank
you
for
a
Beekman
here:
good
luck
to
softness
and
touch
no
matter
what
how
we
can
address
our
issues,
it's
important
to
learn
how
to
do
that.
We
we're
very
emotional
and
meaningful,
and
then
we
come
to
the
public
space
where
people
have
different
opinions
and
it's
tough
to
work
work
on
the
work
that
out
and
good
luck.
How
we
do
that
here
together,
I
want
to
first.
Thank
that
I.
N
Think
you
know,
I
want
to
I
guess
mention
the
concepts
that
I
hope
we're
still
wanting
to
address
the
concepts
of
Peace
before
war
in
the
Ukraine
area
and
if
you've
noticed
I
think
there's
been
more
conversation.
I've
certainly
noticed,
there's
been
more
conversation
that
we
are
talking
about.
You
know,
dialogue,
we're
talking
about
future
dialogue
and
what
that
exactly
can
mean
and
what
you
know.
N
A
two-state
solution
for
the
future
of
Ukraine
actually
can
mean
that
Russia
has
some
very
serious
security
concerns
on
the
Eastern
side
and
of
the
Black
Sea
area
that
just
need
to
be
openly
discussed.
That
aren't
and
really
need
to
be
once
we
learn
to
do
that,
then
we're
on
the
way
to
just
being
human
beings
again
we're
not
acting
like
human
beings
about
this
situation.
We
need
to
offer
that
sort
of
dialogue
to
say
that
we're
human
that
we're
decent
and
good
luck
in
those
efforts
to
do
that.
N
It's
from
that
from
yesterday's
meeting
I
I
took
it
to
heart
that
I.
You
know
it
was
kind
of
mentioned
today
in
some
of
the
items
that
we're
always
talking
about.
What
can
we
develop?
What
can
be
what
what
are
things
that
can
be
developed
instead
of
what
what
are
things
we
already
have
available
to
ourselves?
We
can
do
to
work
on
issues
we're
addressing
the
future
of
housing
yesterday
and
Copa
ideas.
N
That
I
think
are
interesting
and
really
neat
thought
and
open
dialogue
and
discussion,
good
thought
from
all
of
us
and
it's
from
there
you
know
we
can
discuss
the
future
of
the
non-profit
situation.
Is
it
government
agencies
that
are
needed
or
non-profits
can
do
the
job?
Good
luck
in
our
good
thinking.
At
this
time,
thanks.
