Good
afternoon,
everyone
thank
you
mayor.
Thank
you,
everyone
for
for
being
here
to
listen
to
our
amazing
Carlos
Barbara.
He
it's.
This
is
my
second
invocation
and
Carlos
is
actually
a
proud,
San
Jose
Native,
and
also
raised
in
the
same
neighborhood
that
I
was
raised
in,
which
is
the
Guadalupe
Washington
neighborhood,
and
for
the
past
15
years,
Carlos
has
been
a
music
performer
educator
and
producer
serving
in
our
schools
and
Community
agencies
throughout
the
Bay
Area.
G
He
received
his
bachelor's
and
master's
degree
in
social
work
from
San
Jose,
State,
University
and
currently
works
at
it
currently
works
as
a
school
counselor
at
Crystal
Ray,
which
is
also

Three
and
Carlos
is
a
firm
believer
that
Visual
and
Performing
Arts
are
an
essential
tool
for
Community
change,
empowerment
and
cultural
preservation,
and
also
Carlos
was
my
former

at
the
learns
program
when
I
was
a
prns
leader.
So

perform
for
us.
So
welcome.
Carlos.

This
week,
I
just
really
wanted
to
shine
a
light
on
the
incredibly
valuable
work,
our
Americorps
members
and
Americorps
senior
volunteers,
doing
the
community
and
doing
communities
across
the
United
States.
Since
Americorps
founding
in
1994,
more
than
1.2
million
people
have
served
their
country
through
Americorps
and
Americorps
seniors
through
programs
that
provide
opportunities
to
serve
the
community
at
local,
nonprofits,
Schools,
public
agencies
and
community
and
faith-based
groups
across
the
country.
Just
within
San
Jose,
over
5
000
residents
have
served
over
7
million
hours
and
earned
education,
Awards
totaling
over
17
million
dollars.
C
Currently
we
have
just
over
200
Americorps
members
and
volunteers,
serving
with
programs
at
over
25
Service
locations
across
the
city.
I
myself
many
years
ago,
almost
20
years
ago,
now
served
as
an
Americorps
fellow
through
Teach
for
America
out
in
the
Alum
Rock
School,
District
and
I
have
to
say,
being
an
Americorps
fellow
was
one
of
the
most
formative
experiences
in
my
life
and
have
taken
lessons
and
experiences
with
me
through
the
rest
of
life.
C
So
it's
really
an
incredible
program
that
gives
back
to
our
community
invests
in
some
of
our
most
underserved
communities,
but
also
creates
transformative
experiences
for
the
volunteers
and
service
members
themselves.
So
I
want
to
hand
it
over
now
to
our
city,
librarian
Jill
Bourne,
to
talk
a
little
bit
more
about
Americorps
week.
Thank
you.
O
Thank
you,
Mr
Mayor,
starting
in
27,
207,
sorry
2007.,
the
city
of
San,
Jose
partnered
for
more
than
a
decade
with
the
Americorps
Vista
program
and
engaged
a
total
of
17
different
Vistas
in
City
departments
for
essential
work,
such
as
the
city's
housing
department
and
strong
neighborhoods
program
to
expand
job
opportunities
for
those
experiencing
or
at
risk
of
homelessness,
or,
and
also
the
cities
of
service
Vista
project
in
2019.
O
The
San
Jose
Public
Library,
starting
engaging
with
the
Vista
program
to
expand
our
capacity
to
meet
critical
service
needs
and
since
then
has
recruited
13
Americorps
to
support
adult
literacy.
Early
Education,
expanded
out
of
school
time
learning,
community
building
and
much
more
Library
Vistas
assist
our
city
staff
with
impactful
programs
through
fundraising,
grant
writing
research
and
volunteer
recruitment.
O
Americorps
Vista
members
in
the
program
serve
for
a
one
calendar
year
and
over
that
year
they
gained
valuable
work
experience
and
also
receive
a
living
stipend
and
an
education
award
at
the
end
of
their
service
year.
So
collectively,
these
Vistas
have
recruited
more
than
a
hundred
new
volunteers
to
the
library
secured
76
thousand
dollars
in
monetary
resources
and
73
000
in
non-cash
resources
to
support
high
impact
programs
and
services
such
as
coding,
Robotics
and
also
literacy
programs
at
the
library
collectively.
O
Today
we
are
joined
by
our
volunteer
services
unit,
Jason
hell
and
Michelle
Chui,
who
sorry
Melissa
shui,
who
are
an
incredible
team
that
lead
the
partnership
with
Americorps
over
the
years.
We're
also
joined
by
two
of
our
current
Vistas
Katie
Bauman
in
wave
and
Megan
Hungerford
Katie
is
currently
in
her
second
service
year
as
a
Vista
with
our
partners
in
reading
adult
literacy
unit.
Yes,
you
can
give
them
a
pause.
O
O
She
also
developed
a
robotics
program
in
partnership
with
bird
brain
Technologies
and
she
is
now
a
full-time
project
manager
in
the
tech
sector,
which
we
are
very
proud
of.
Thank
you
guys
for
all
your
work.
Other
I'm
almost
done
other
Vista
alumni
have
leveraged
their
service.
Your
experience
into
successful
careers
in
non-profit
education
and
private
sectors,
we
are
excited
to
continue
to
offer
the
Americorps
Vista
program
at
the
library
and
currently
getting
ready
to
start
recruiting
for
our
next
cohort
of
Vistas
in
the
spring.
O
C
Thanks
Jill
and
fun
fact:
Katie
or
Miss
B
was
my
pre-calc
teacher
20
years
ago,
so
many
years
of
service
to
the
community,
including
trying
to
help
me
learn
how
to
do
math.
So
with
that
I'd
like
to
recognize
and
Proclaim
March
12th
through
18th
Americorps
week.
Thank
you.
P
I
would
like
to
defer
the
797
Almaden
funding
project
item.
D
8.1,
yes,.
P
Okay
and.
P
We
seem
to
get
these
one-off
projects
and
we
really
don't
have
a
way
to
understand
how
this
financing
we
can
support.
This
was
a
12
million
dollar
project
supported.
Now
we
are
asking
to
make
it
25
million
dollars.
P
We
don't
understand
the
full
criteria
being
used
in
deciding
whether
we
should
fund
these
things
or
not,
and
also
we
want
to
understand
the
total
life
cycle
funding
the
total
taxpayer
money
going
towards
such
projects,
not
just
what
the
city
is
giving
I
want
to
understand
where
the
county
comes
in.
Where
does
the
taxpayers
tax
credit
come
in,
so
that
we
can
see
the
totality
of
what
we
are
funding
to
a
particular
project
and
when
we
have
such
ability
that
we
can
the
nofa,
which
was
issued
on
20th
of
December
2021
from
that
one?
P
We
are
funding
today
increasing
the
funding
for
this
particular
project
by
another
12
million
dollars.
So
we
have
the
capacity
to
double
this
thing
and
what
were
we
doing
why
this
money
was
not
already
committed
when
we
have
such
an
acute
shortage
of
our
housing?
So
I
like
to
understand
a
little
bit
better
so
that
we
can
evaluate
all
these
future
projects
coming
to
us
on
a
weekly
basis
in
a
more
meaningful
way
and
be
able
to
endorse
such
development.
Okay,.
C
Q
Q
I'm
Jackie
Morrell's
friend
and
I'm,
the
director
of
Housing
and
I,
just
wanted
to
make
sure
I
heard
the
motion
correctly.
That
was
a
four
week
delay
or
a
one
week
delay
four
weeks.
Yes,
that
would
be
that
would
definitely
impact
the
project.
The
project
is
trying
to
apply
for
Asic
funding,
which
would
provide
not
only
funding
for
the
affordable
housing,
but
for
funding
for
improvements
that
surround
the
development
as
well.
That
would
benefit
the
city,
so
a
four-week
delay
would
be
harmful
to
the
project.
Q
We
certainly
could
delay
the
the
project
for
a
week
and
but
we
did
have
concerns
given
the
amount
of
of
work
that
is
on
the
agenda
next
week
as
well.
P
A
C
F
Sorry
I
didn't
want
to
interrupt
earlier.
I
apologize
Jackie
as
you're
walking
down
I'll.
Just
ask
my
question:
do
you
do
you
have
I
know
that
I've
got
a
briefing
from
your
staff,
Rachel
and
and
another
staff?
Member,
do
you
happen
to
know
if
all
council
members
were
able
to
receive
a
briefing
on
this
item.
Q
I
actually
I'm
gonna
have
to
have
Rachel.
We
did
try
to
outreach
to
everyone
to
make
sure
that
briefings
were
provided.
If.
F
They
are
asked
for
it
and
the
reason
I
ask
is
I'm
supportive
of
one
week:
deferral
I,
don't
want
it
to
impact
the
project,
but
I'm
also
curious
if
everyone's
already
heard
the
details
and
we're
ready
for
a
discussion
right
and
so
Rachel.
If
you
can
maybe
touch
on
how
many
folks
actually
took
the
briefing.
S
Okay
yeah,
so
we
provided
we
offered
to
every
single
council
member
briefing
and
we
we
met
with
nearly
everyone.
I
think
we
probably
all,
but
two
have
been
briefed
on
this
item.
F
Okay,
I'd
be
curious.
You
know,
I
I,
don't
have
the
next
week's
agenda
in
front
of
us
but
curious.
How?
Because
I
expect
it's
going
to
be
a
long
conversation
and
so
I'm
curious,
maybe
if
councilmember
Cohen
or
Davis.
If
they've
looked
at
the
agenda
for
next
week,
maybe
a
little
bit
more
closely
than
I
have
if
they
can
speak
to
the,
whether
there's
sort
of
enough
capacity
to
include
this
next
week
or
or,
however,
that
would
work.
K
T
F
Okay,
yeah
I
would
say
that
I
won't
support
the
week
delay
then
I
think
it's
worth
having
a
conversation,
and
even
during
the
course
of
whatever
conversation
we
have
today.
Emotion
can
emerge
to
defer
it
then,
but
maybe
we
should
have
that
conversation
so
I
won't
be
supporting
the
motion,
I
seconded
or
maybe
I'll
retract.
My
second
I
guess,
but.
C
E
K
X
This
is
on
good
afternoon
Council
Alicia
Klein,
with
resources
for
Community
Development.
We
are
the
non-profit,
affordable,
housing
developer
that
is
applying
for
the
city
funding
that
you're
discussing
the
agenda,
for
we
really
appreciate
your
considering
it
today
if,
if
at
all
possible,
the
affordable
housing
and
sustainable
communities
funding
at
the
state,
which
is
providing
a
very
large
portion
of
the
financing
for
this
development,
we
hope
the
application
deadline
is
April
4th.
X
So
if
four
week
deferral
is
definitely
not
going
to
work
for
that
and
we
do
need
the
the
cities
and
the
County's
commitments
to
be
successful
in
that
application.
So
we
appreciate
your
consideration.
We're
here
today
happy
to
answer
any
questions
and
address
concerns
that
you
may
have
so
we
we
would
love
to
have
that
time
when,
whether
it's
today
or
or
in
a
week,
but
definitely
not
in
four
weeks.
Thank
you
very
much
and
look
forward
to
discussing
with
you.
Thank.
U
Y
Yes,
I'd
like
to
thank
councilman
batra,
for
he
is
being
circumspect
about
the
way
that
the
financing
schemes
have
been
presented.
Y
Y
So,
basically,
what
the
city
has
done
is
used
extremely
low
income
from
measure
e
to
subsidize
the
moderate
income
bracket
and
the
moderate
income
bracket
in
this
Housing
Development,
there's
10
of
them
there's
10
units.
Also
each
unit
is
being
built
at
over
a
million
dollars.
Y
You
can,
you
can
buy
a
home
for
that
kind
of
bread,
and
so
I
think
that
there
I
I
appreciate
putting
a
pause
on
this.
So
a
greater
level
of
discussion
and
understanding
and
comprehension
of
what's
going
on
in
the
financing
schemes
and
what
the
goals
are
to
increase
livability
in
that
building
to
60
percent
of
the
median.
A
Z
A
AA
That
we
do
not
defer
this
project.
Every
delay
causes
another
opportunity
to
increase
the
suffering
for
people
who
are
waiting
for
us
to
continue.
Building
and
I
believe
that
the
questions
that
that
the
council
has
about
cost
can
be
answered
during
the
course
of
the
staff
presentation
and,
more
importantly,
really.
Investing
into
projects
like
this
is
a
is
a
relatively.
AA
I
think
it's
approximately
250
000
being
proposed
per
door
for
this
particular
project,
and
so
I
think
the
presentation
can
speak
to
the
whole
of
the
cost,
but,
what's
really
being
born
by
the
city
is
pretty
nominal
in
fact
more
affordable
than
many
other
interventions.
Thank
you.
E
AC
Good
afternoon
my
name
is
Adrian
Gonzalez
and
I'm.
The
director
of
regional
implementation
at
all
home
I
came
here
today,
originally
speak
during
public
comment
for
item
8.1
relating
to
the
rcd
developments
as
council
members,
staff
and
colleagues
have
already
suggested.
When
it
comes
to
funding
considerations
for
developments,
it
can
significantly
impact
the
development
timeline,
so
I
hope
that
we
move
forward
today
in
considering
this
item.
Thank
you.
E
F
U
U
P
C
AD
R
Thank
you
mayor.
We
have
a
potential
settlement
to
report
out
of
closed
session
when
the
documents
are
finalized,
they
will
be
made
available
publicly,
but
we,
the
city
of
San
Jose,
are
joining
the
national
settlement
in
the
opioid
litigation
and
this
time
the
portions
of
the
settlement
involve
Walgreens,
Walmart,
CVS,
Teva
and
Allergan.
Thank
you.
What
it
looks.
C
Z
Z
Z
That
little
level
that
initially
started
asking
for
in
2020.
Z
Z
I'm
guessing-
and
you
know
that
brought
out
me.
You
know
all
the
worries
I've
been
talking
about
the
past
few
years
about
earthquake
planning
a
possible
earthquake
at
the
end
of
this
year,
Community.
AF
Z
You
know
they're
they're,
you
know
yearly
predictions
of
how
to
you
know,
chart
their
energy
patterns
brought
me
to
certain
conclusions
that
I've
been
trying
to
walk
back
and
not
fully
think
things
happening
now
at
the
fall
of
2023,
but
just
the
fact
that
we're
preparing
and
that
I
hope
that
it
could
be
an
open
conversation
about
in
this
coming
year.
If
we
openly
prepare
ourselves,
then
that's
taking
the
extra
step
towards
being
good
citizens
and
good
Community
efforts
that
so
we
can
be
safe,
but
this
actually
does
happen.
E
Y
Y
You're
getting
one
source
of
Monies
and
you're
you're,
reducing
it
by
15
percent
to
address
an
issue
that
has
something
completely:
that's
a
completely
separate
issue.
It
doesn't
have
anything
to
do
with
homelessness.
It
had
to
do
with
evacuation
so
that
doesn't
have
anything
to
do
related.
It
happened
to
be
that
the
population
that
needed
evacuation
was
experiencing
homelessness,
but
it
was
a
set.
Y
It
was
a
separate
issue,
and
so
my
question
is:
are
you
going
to
replace
that
1.4
million
dollars
for
homeless
services,
with
monies
that
you
receive
from
the
Disaster
Assistance
that
you're
requesting,
on
the
same
consent,
calendar
you're,
requesting
authority
to
negotiate
that
disaster
relief
and
that's
going
to
necessarily
include
monies
that
were
that
should
have
been
allocated
from
a
separate
source
to
fund
that
storm
evacuation,
but
you
use
the
homeless
Services
Monies
to
do
it.
These
are
legitimate
questions
that
need
to
be
answered.

afternoon

investment
policy
changes
so
that
I
don't
start
to
have
a
coughing
attack
so
with
that
I'd
turn
over
to
chinu.
AJ
AJ
AJ
Good
afternoon
honorable
mayor
and
the
members
of
the
city
council,
my
name
is
Chen
yusam
I'm,
the
deputy
director
of
Finance
for
dead
and
treasury
management.
Here
today,
I'm
going
to
present
the
annual
investment
policy
review.
AJ
The
city
is
a
investment
policy,
governs
how
the
city
is
going
to
manage
and
invest
the
public
funds
in
in
possession
the
cities
in
management
policy
conforms
with
the
California
government
code,
section
53
600..
We
manage
even
the
investment
to
meet
several
objectives.
First,
first
and
foremost,
foremost
safety.
Second
liquidity
yield
comes
the
Third,
the
investment.
The
investment
strategy
is
to
maintain
a
diversified
portfolio
of
conservative
and
a
highly
rated
fixed
income
security
match
cash
flow
needs
with
maturing
mature
maturing
Securities.
We
generally
adopt
a
Buy
and
Hold
trading
strategy.
AJ
So
the
cities,
Investments
policy,
authorize
us
to
invest
in
the
city's
public
funds
in
a
variety
of
asset
classes
and
provides
a
stipulation
on
maximum
exposure
in
except
asset
classes
as
an
index
in
those
asset
classes,
the
details
is
Illustrated
in
the
table
and
I'm
not
going
to
enumerate
that
the
city's
events.
AJ
The
policy
requires
the
finance
department
to
perform
an
annual
review,
and
we
need
to
submit
any
proposal
chain
propose
the
changes
to
the
public
safety,
finance
and
strategic
strategic
support
committee
for
review
and
this
consideration
and
it
needs
to
be
approved
by
the
city.
The
entire
Council.
The
red
line.
Version
of
the
city's
investment
policy
is
a
included
in
exhibit
a
in
the
staff
report.
AJ
AJ
With
this
revision,
we
hope
to
enhance
the
diversification
of
the
city's
portfolio
and
lower
the
potential
loss
from
a
single
issuer
related
to
corporate
events
and
align
the
city's
investment
policy
objectives
of
safety
and
liquidity.
With
that,
we
recommend
the
city
council
to
approve
the
city's
investment
policy
as
amended
a
non-operable
questions,
great.
C
C
Okay,
actually,
the
council
not
seen
any
hands
yet
I'll.
Just
ask
one
question
that
is
sort
of
related
to
things
we
just
saw
play
out
recently.
How
do
we
think
about
duration
risk
and
the
timeline
on
which
we
might
need
access
to
resources
versus
the
the
Investments?
The
time
Horizon
of
the
Investments
we've
made.
AJ
Actually,
with
with
higher
duration,
your
interest
rate
risk
is
higher,
especially
so
the
Investment
Portfolio
value
has
a
negative
relationship
with
interest.
The
higher
the
interest
rate,
the
lower
the
Investment
Portfolio,
the
value
will
be
duration-
is
really
a
measurement
of
the
interest
rates
rate
risk.
Basically,
duration
says
how
much
the
portfolio
is
going
to
the
portfolio
value
is
going
to
change
with
a
one
percent
of
the
interest
rate
changes,
so
the
city's
Investment
Portfolio
has
a
relatively
short
portfolio,
so
our
interest
rate
risk
is
very
low.
AJ
That
said,
our
portfolio
follows
a
Buy
and
Hold
strategy,
so
in
any
kind
of
fluctuation
in
a
portfolio
of
valuation
is
called
unrealized
again
losses
unless
the
city
go
to
the
market
to
liquidate
the
portfolio.
At
the
end
time,
we're
not
going
to
realize
realize
those
gains
and
losses,
as
I
just
explained
through
the
interest
rate,
risk,
cost
portfolio,
evaluation,
changes.
AI
I
just
wanted
to
say
that
you
know
we
have
a
very.
We
can
only
invest
out
five
years
and
we
have
a
detailed
cash
kind
of
model
that
we
invest
to
specific
expenditure
dates
like
we
know,
payrolls
every
two
weeks.
You
know
approximately
how
much
payroll
is
so
we
base
on
the
cash
that's
coming
in
and
the
Investments
maturing,
and
then
we
also
have
big
Debt
Service
payment
dates
are
also
known
in
advance,
so
we
invest
out
to
those
maturities
and
then
over
time
we
basically
know
what
our
weekly
AP
looks
like.
AI
So
so
with
the
Buy
and
Hold
policy,
we
have,
and
we
also
have
ability
to
keep
a
fair
amount
of
money
liquid
in
whether
it
be
the
local
agency,
investment
fund,
camp
and
money
market
funds,
which
today
are
paying
very
well
well
over
four
percent.
So
we
do
have
a
fair
amount
of
liquidity
there
as
well
great.
AK
Thank
you,
I
I
just
want
to
thank
director
Cooper
and
her
team
they're,
absolutely
wonderful
in
terms
of
ensuring
that
the
people's
money
is
protected
and
when
different
incidents
happen
are
very,
very
responsive.
They
know
what
to
do,
how
to
do
it
when
to
do
it.
So
you
know
this
came
to
pispizz
and
you
know
I'm
very
impressed
with
the
entire
team.
So
thank
you
so
much.
It
makes
me
sleep
well
at
night,
knowing
that
we're
in
good
hands
and
if
there
are
no
further
questions,
I'd
move
the
the
item.
Thank
you
great.
C
P
P
AI
You
no,
there
are
no,
there
are
no
issuers
that
are
at
the
10
level
at
the
aggregate.
This
is
our
recommendation
for
this
policy
changes
to
put
into
the
policy
kind
of
what
our
in
our
internal
practice
has
been.
So
we've
been
trying
to
keep
below
that
five
percent
across
the
different
security
sectors.
P
C
AI
AI
This
item
was
also
at
the
public
safety
Finance
strategic
support
committee
meeting
on
the
16th
and
lose
is
the
assistant
director
is
going
to
make
the
presentation
she's
been
acting
as
the
procurement
officer
for
about
six
months,
while
the
position
has
been
vacant.
But
just
so
you
know
we
do
have
a
new
deputy
director
for
procurement,
starting
on
Monday.
His
name
is
Alby
Alban
and
he's
coming
from
who's
coming
from
a
San,
Francisco,
Unified,
School
District.
So
we're
excited
and
we'll
introduce
him
later
on.
AL
Good
afternoon
council
members
mayor
and
the
public
Lewis
as
I
was
introduced
before
by
Julia
Cooper
I
am
the
Assistant
Director
of
Finance
for
the
city,
and
I
am
Overjoyed.
That
Albie
is
joining
us
and
much
much
Applause
he's
a
wonderful
hire.
He
comes
from
the
city
of
San
Francisco
and
the
his
recent
stint.
There
is
with
the
Unified
School
District,
so
he
comes
with
a
great
deal
of
experience
and
he's
lovely
he'll
love
him
he's
really
great.
AL
So
back
to
the
item
and
I
do
apologize,
we
do
apologize
for
making
it
up
a
memo
itself
into
a
bit
of
a
term
paper,
but
that
was
deliberate
because
we
know
there
are
some
folks
who
have
not
been
with
the
council
very
long,
and
we,
if
you
look
actually
look
through
all
the
footnotes
and
once
again
I
don't
remind
people
of
their
college
days.
But
if
you
look
through
the
footnotes,
it
does
provide
access
to
all
the
items
that
were
that
preceded
this
discussion
and
how
we
got
to
where
we
are
today.
AL
Okay,
so
foreign,
the
background
on
this,
the
city
has
a
decentralized
procurement
model.
It
starts
with
Public
Works
Public
Works.
Does
all
the
projects,
construction,
Improvement
or
demolition
of
structure
so
effectively
all
the
building,
all
the
state
of
good
repair,
every
sort
of
renovation?
That's
done
with
the
City
Public
Works
Denim,
and
they
do
all
the
procurements
for
that.
So
that's
construction
contracts,
architectural
engineering
and
and
services
like
like
that
the
city
departments
individually
do
their
own
Consulting
contracts.
AL
So
that
would
be
things
like,
for
example,
the
disparity
study,
we're
doing
so
Finance
has
a
contact
and
went
out
to
to
after
we
did
a
piggyback
on
that
and
I'll
explain
a
little
bit
more
about
what
a
piggyback
is
later
on
this
presentation,
but
we,
you
know
so
it's
services
like
that
individual
departments
do
those
procurements.
The
finance
does
Department
in
purchasing.
Does
everything
else,
so
we
do
all
other
goods
and
services
that
includes
commodity
Commodities,
Office,
Depot
equipment,
masks,
supplies
hand
sanitizer,
you
you
name
it.
AL
We
do
it
and
then
we
also
manage
the
overall
Citywide
P
card
program,
which
is
we
piggyback
again
onto
a
Statewide
program.
Last,
a
couple
years
ago
we
started
what
was
called
a
procurement
Improvement
Readiness
program
that
was
launched
in
February
2019,
and
it
was
in
response
to
a
city-wide
concern
about
how
procurements
could
be
done
better
and
faster.
So
in
February
2020
we
engaged
with
guide
house
Inc
to
perform
a
city-wide
procurement
Improvement
study.
AL
We
kicked
that
off
and
promptly
the
next
month
we
were
all
sent
home
because
of
covet
on
March
17
2020..
We
continue
to
be
in
contact
with
guide
house
every
six
months
to
just
see
how
it,
basically,
we
put
a
pin
on
it
to
see
how
we
could
proceed.
We
really
couldn't
until
until
March
2021.
This
item
was
added
to
the
city
roadmack
to
indicate
its
importance
in
the
city,
and
we
started
our
effort
again
October
2021,
and
so
we
restarted
our
engagement
and
then
we
went
through
that
process
and
then
May
10
2022.
AL
We
published
a
procurement
current
state
assessment
report
and
the
procurement
future
state
vision
report
that
was
a
product
of
a
city-wide
review
by
about
over
70
staff
members
who
participated
so
it
was
brought
just
about
every
single
Department,
every
single
office
and
a
number
of
people
all
the
way
up
and
down
the
higher
the
organization
to
basically
provide
us
some
information
about
it.
That
particular
document
I
will
point
you
to
I.
AL
This
is
a
snippet
of
what's
in
the
procurement
Pro,
what
the
future.
The
current
state
assessment
report,
it's
a
fishbone
diagram
and
what
it
really
does
is
look
at
five
different
categories
of
the
challenges
and
it's
people,
process,
technology
policies
and
backlog.
A
lot
there's
there's,
certainly
a
number
of
things
that
we
could
point
out
here.
One
of
them
is
it's
difficult
to
implement
the
policies.
We
need
training
under
technology.
There's
lack
of
kpi
training.
AL
We
don't
have
automation
so
there's
a
number
of
items,
I'll
point
you
to
you
can
take
time
and
look
at
it,
but
really
what
this
did
was
it.
It
sort
of
was
a
really
kind
of
focused
way
of
presenting
all
the
challenges
that
we
had
in
the
procurement
on
our
current
procurement
process.
AL
AL
So
what
have
we
done
so
far
in
those
key
areas?
So
what
we've
done
so
far
in
20
September
2019?
We
formed
an
internal
procurement
prioritization
board
at
that
time.
That
board
was
made
up
of
the
assistant
city
manager,
the
Director
of
Finance
and
the
budget
director,
and
the
purpose
for
that
panel
was
to
have
departments
submit
their
their
procurements
for
requests
for
proposals.
So
those
are
the
longer
procurements.
Those
are
for
things
like
larger
systems,
so
things
that
we're
we're
investing
in
I
said
on
a
city-wide
basis.
AL
We
continue
to
have
that
panel
today
and
it's
an
ongoing
panel
and
it
reviews
it
meets
on
a
monthly
basis.
Then
we
reorganize
the
purchasing
work
groups
into
work
teams
and
we
enhance
them
cross
training,
so
that
was
focusing
on
the
finance
purchasing
team
just
to
make
them
more
to
do
a
reorganization
that
made
them
more
responsible
to
responsive
to
procurements.
AL
We
in
2019
we
added
so
a
permanent
senior
analyst
position
in
2021.
We
added
no
restraint,
analyst
position
in
2022
and
23.
We
got
two
more
analysts
and
one
senior
analyst
position,
and
this
was
all
to
bolster
the
staff
which
had
been,
which
was
low
frankly,
for
the
volume
and
and
intricacies
and
complexities
of
the
procurements
that
were
coming
across
our
desks
and
in
2023
22-23.
We
also
get
a
one
personal
equipment
funding,
and
then
we
also
got
fifty
thousand
dollars
for
technology
enhancements.
AL
So
what
are
we
considering
today
today?
We're
looking
at
the
two
large
items
we're
looking
at?
Are
procurement
thresholds,
both
competitive
and
inform
informal
and
the
ability
to
leverage
other
public
entity
procurements.
So
both
of
these
are
adjustments
that
we
are
recommending
to
the
municipal
code
4.12
as
it
stands
today.
AL
The
current
Muni
codes
are
as
follows:
they
are
in
the
table,
you
see
before
you
has
the
code
section,
the
section
title,
the
description
and
the
current
values
I'm
going
to
go
over
this
a
little
bit
later
in
the
in
the
presentation,
because
I'll
demonstrate
the
changes
as
well
that
we're
proposing.
AL
So
what
is
a
competitive
procurement
threshold
this
this
is,
we
went
out
and
did
some
some
benchmarking,
and
this
is
the
one
looking
at
the
ten
thousand
dollar
limit,
the
infamous
ten
thousand
dollar
limit,
and
so
the
ten
thousand
dollar
limit
is
from
zero.
A
one
penny
to
ten
thousand
dollars
is
all
that's
needed
in
the
city.
AL
The
competitive
procurement
threshold,
what
we
also
did
was
look
at
what
we
had
done
historically
and
what,
if
any
changes?
If
we
had
made
those
changes,
if
those
changes
had
been
in
place
at
the
beginning
of
FY
2019
and
20
2000
FY
2019
to
2021
too
so
from
July
1st
2019
to
June
30
2022,
what
would
those
change?
How
would
those
changes
have
affected
us?
So
if
we
looked
at
zero?
Obviously,
if
there
was
no
change,
if
that
threshold
stayed
at
ten
thousand
dollars,
we
were
to
have
no
change.
AL
But
if
we
had
increased
that
threshold
by
two
thousand
dollars
and
ten
thousand
to
twelve
thousand
dollars,
we
would
have
been
able
to
have
127
additional
procurements.
That
would
have
been
able
just
to
be
that
single
phone
call
and
so
that
table
once
again
takes
you
all
from
five
thousand
ten
thousand
fifteen
and
twenty
thousand
all
the
way
to
thirty
thousand.
The
first
bump
is
a
4.7
bump
of
127..
After
that,
it's
fairly
nominal.
AL
This
is
information
on
the
bench
on
our
peer
municipalities,
a
benchmarking
that
we
did
here
as
you
can
see.
We're
really
not
so
much
out
of
whack
I
mean
most
of
it's
interesting
to
see
that
a
number
of
our
peers
are
under
ten
thousand
dollars,
and
the
other
ones
are
that
are
above
us
are
San
Diego
at
twenty
five
thousand
dollars,
Santa
Clara
and
Oakland,
and
fifteen
thousand
dollars,
but
everybody
else
is
and,
and
everybody
else
is
pretty
much
either
Adam
Lois.
AL
The
the
informal
threshold
that
I'll
talk
about
a
little
bit
later
is
once
again
we're
pretty
much
in
line
most
folks
are
below
us,
and
then
we
also
just
for
curiosity,
we
said
well
what
can
the
CEO,
the
Chief
Executive
Officer
of
each
of
those
municipalities?
What
is
their
ability
to
decide
we're
actually
fairly
High,
except
for
San
Diego,
which
we
can't
figure
out.
AL
So
what
is
the
recommended
change
for
this
particular
for
the
competitive
threshold
once
again,
I
want
to
remind
you
is
from
a
penny
to
ten
thousand
dollars.
That
is
a
single
phone
call
to
the
procure
the
vendor
of
your
choice,
just
to
get
a
quote,
so
we
are
recommending
that
the
current
competitive
threshold
of
ten
thousand
dollar
remain
at
ten
thousand
dollars
and
be
aligned
in
the
future,
with
the
Federal
Government
Federal
micro
purchase
threshold,
and
we
also
recommend
that
the
P
Card
Services
Thor
shall
remain
at
a
thousand
dollars
to
control
and
mitigate
risk.
AL
AL
Okay,
we
all
recommend
I'm
going
to
got
back
up
a
little
bit
and
talk
a
little
bit
about
the
informal
I'm
going
to
leave
it
right
here
and
I'm,
going
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
what
the
informal
procurement
threshold
is
so
right.
Now
the
informal
procurement
threshold
is
140
000.,
so
we
are
taking
that
once
again
to
be
aligned
with
the
federal
government
at
250
000..
So
we're
increasing
that
by
200
210
000.
and
that's
that's
in
line
with.
What's
called
a
federal,
simplified
acquisition
threshold.
AL
So
we
are
I'm
actually
going
to
jump
ahead
a
little
bit
and
go
to
this
table
because
I
think
it's
important.
We
talk
about
this,
so
these
for
The
First,
beginning
part,
we're
going
to
recommend
these
particular
changes
to
the
muni
code
and
what?
How
that?
What
this
does
we're
talking
about
the
first
few,
the
one
two
three
four
five,
six,
the
first
seven
lines
and
not
the
last
line-
is
about
the
changes
to
the
the
two
particular
thresholds.
AL
So
the
first
one
once
again
is
the
competitive
threshold,
that's
ten
thousand
dollars
and
then
the
one
that's
a
hundred,
forty
thousand,
that
goes
to
250
000..
So
the
com,
the
informal
threshold,
is
the
one
where
you
call
up
and
you
call
three
quotes
So.
You
call
three
different
vendors.
You
get
three
different
quotes:
So.
We
are
taking
that
from
140
000
to
250
000..
So
once
again,
ten
thousand
dollars
in
one
penny
to
to
250
000
you'll
be
able
to
complete
with
one
with
three
three
quotes.
AL
The
federal
simplified
acquisition
for
a
child
in
the
future
once
again,
I
want
to
emphasize
this
is
to
simplify
and
make
less
complicated
the
process
for
staff
and
for
for
anybody
who's
procuring
anything
on
the
on
the
basis
of
with
on
the
on
for
the
city,
then
the
second
item
that
we're
the
the
second
item
that
we're
looking
at
the
large
item
is
leveraging
other
public
entity
procurements.
This
one
is
a
little
obscure
and
so
I
want
to
talk
about
it,
but
it
is
sort
of
Arcane
So.
AL
Currently,
our
our
municode
calls
for
requires
that,
in
order
for
us
to
do
what's
called
piggybacking,
in
other
words,
use
another
public
entities
procurement
process
to
procure
something
that
benefits
the
city
has
to
that.
The
city
of
San
Jose
either
has
to
be
named
in
the
procurement
document,
or
it
has
to
be
a
third
as
a
third
party
beneficiary
or
or
has
to
be
inferred
to,
but
that's
in
the
procurement
documents-
that's
pretty
unusual.
AL
So
we
are
recommending
this
change,
that
the
municode
be
modified
to
allow
City
procurements
to
leverage
other
public
entities
procurement
once
again,
that
informal
language
that
we
use
is
called
biggie
backing
which
substantially
comply
with
City
procurement
procedure
by
simply
requiring
the
executed
contract
resulting
from
the
current
include
language,
allowing
other
entities
to
use
said
contract.
This
does
not
say
that
the
city
that
for
the
current
staff,
will
not
do
the
usual
due
diligence.
AL
AL
With
that
the
presentation
is
complete.
The
recommendation
is
before
you,
as
recommended
by
the
public
safety
finance
and
strategic
support
committee
on
February
16th
I,
won't
read
it.
You've
got
it
in
your
memo
and
up
there
on
the
slide
and
with
that
I'll
turn
it
over
to
Julia
to
close
us
out
or
we're
good
we're
good.
We
are
any
questions.
That's
your
pleasure.
Please.
E
Y
Thank
you
for
that
report.
The
procurement
process
thresholds
are
low
in
those
other
jurisdictions
for
a
reason,
with
354
million
dollars,
total
used
in
the
procurement
process
for
the
city
of
San
Jose,
that's
right
for
corruption,
I
mean
this
is
this
is
just
a
fact.
That's
why
you
have
those
rules
set
in
place?
Y
Those
are
laws,
and
you
have
those
in
place
to
prevent
that
type
of
corruption
by
excluding
the
third
party
beneficiary,
the
city
of
San,
Jose,
designation
by
removing
that
and
amending
that
out
of
the
requirement,
you're
convoluting
the
process
and
you're
going
to
make
it
easier
for
corruption
to
occur
because
nobody's
going
to
know
the
left-handed
isn't
going
to
know
what
the
right
hand
is
doing,
because
you've
erased
that
you
have
made
actually
facilitated
that
process.
Number
two
is
increasing
that
to
a
250
000
threshold.
Y
Y
The
the
one
phone
call
being
able
to
make
a
purchase
of
ten
thousand
dollars
is
is
a
lot
of
that's
a
lot
of
responsibility
for
that
one
person
so
I'm
glad
that
that's
not
being
changed,
but
the
question
Still
Remains?
Why
are
you
removing
that
city
of
San,
Jose,
designation
and
actually
facilitating
corruption
rather
than.
Z
And
I've
kind
of
made
it
a
point
in
the
past
year
how
to
really
look
for
those
good
things
and
what
we
actually
can
be
doing
and.
Z
Doing
that
and
I'm
really
hopeful
that
we
work
towards
a
real
positive
outlook,
good
positive
things
will
happen
and.
K
Z
Those
Peppers
I
think
talking
to
each
other
about
how
exactly
do
we
have
to
prepare
for
any
sort
of
upcoming
natural
disaster
that
can
help
a
lot.
If
you
don't,
you
know,
I
hope
you
can
do
these
sort
of
things
and
respect
some
things
also
at
the
end
of
this
year,
without
the
concepts
of
disaster
capitalism,
that's
so
key
because
that's
part
of
the
positivity
we
try
to
build
and
willing
to
Really
Leave
the
era
as
positive
and
I
tried
to
say
these
things.
Z
Often
this
is
kind
of
my
regular
talking
points,
but
hopefully
they
can
be
helpful
and
a
good
reminder
for
yourselves
how
we
really
should
work
in
this
upcoming
year
and
the
real
positive
folks
that
we
all
have
24
and
25.
thanks
a
lot.
H
Thank
you
mayor
and
thank
you
so
much
Julia
and
loose
for
the
presentation.
H
I
know
I
myself,
finding
some
heart
sometimes
hard
to
follow
Finance
presentations,
which
you
all
did
an
excellent
job
as
an
a
major
economic
driver
for
the
city.
Our
procurement
and
Contracting
policies
serve
as
an
important
mechanism
for
advancing
various
public
aims
and
many
other
cities
and
states
have
embedded
intentional
codes
in
their
procurement
decisions
as
means
of
support,
supporting
and
growing
their
local
economies
simply
put
in
the
future.
H
I'd
love
to
see
us
leveraging
or
learning
how
we
could
leverage
our
city
dollars
to
ensure
the
success
of
local
small
businesses,
their
employees
and,
of
course,
local
families.
Here
in
the
in
the
city
of
San,
Jose
I
believe
we're
well
positioned
as
an
incubator
for
these
smaller
contractors
who
could
be
getting
contracts
with
the
the
city
and
then
as
an
advocate
for
small
businesses.
H
I'm
aware,
anxiously
and
I'm
looking
forward
to
it
anxiously
of
of
the
results
of
the
finance
disparity
study,
so
that
we
can
understand
what
is
and
isn't
working
in
the
terms
of
procurement
and
move
forward
with
implementing
various
socio-economic
preference
programs,
whether
it's
you
know,
local
procurement,
mom
and
pop
shops
for
procurement,
minority-owned
businesses,
I'm.
Looking
forward
to
having
that
discussion
in
the
future.
AE
G
No
just
moved
to
approve
item
3.4.
P
P
J
AL
I'm,
actually
we
do
do
Outreach.
We
do
do
formal
Outreach
to
to
business
as
as
usual,
but
that
is
actually
done.
The
majority
have
done
that.
Work
is
done
through
Public,
Works
and
I
thought
that
I
saw
Mount
Lush
in
the
audience,
but
I
do
not
because
he
could
speak
more
specifically
to
excellent
exactly
the
programs
we
are
doing,
because
we
we
collaborate
with
them.
AL
They
do
taking
the
leadership,
because
a
lot
of
their
work
is
because
they're
there
there
a
lot
of
their
their
work,
has
the
subcontracts
of
lower
barriers
to
entry,
painting,
Services
services
like
if
somebody
wants
to
participate
in
painting
on
a
job
or
other
other
sort
of
service
services.
That
would
be
done
on
construction
projects,
but
we
do
collaborate
with
them
and
doing
an
Outreach
I.
Don't
know
the
schedule
on
that,
but
rather
than
sitting
here
and
trying
to
figure
it
out,
why
don't
I
get?
AL
Why
don't
we
get
back
to
you
and
give
you
sort
of
a
short
write-up
through
the
city
manager's
office.
J
Thank
you,
I
have
a
second
question
for
you
now
I
know,
there's
a
lot
of
small
businesses
that
want
to
participate
with
the
bidding
process
and
they're,
not
given
that
opportunity
and
most
of
our
projects-
and
you
know,
ten
thousand
above
obviously
is
going
to
go
out
to
bid
and
not
only.
We
I
hear
enormous
amount
of
complaints
that
small
business
businesses
don't
have
the
opportunity.
J
Secondly,
why
is
it
we
always
go
towards
the
lowest
bid
where
we
end
up
paying
twice
the
amount
or
we
end
up,
have
to
fire
the
contractor
and
then
hire
another
one
which
costs
us
Time,
Finance
and
staff
time
as
well?
And
what
are
we
doing
to
be
to
not
do
that
again?.
AL
Thank
you
for
the
question
for,
in
response
to
your
first
question.
Your
action
today
will
impro
will
expand,
increase
that
threshold
for
for
for
competitive
bidding
above
ten
thousand
dollars
that
will
be
increased
from
140
000
to
250
000.,
so
that
I
I
do
want
to
remind
everybody
is
where
three
quotes
are
done.
AL
Those
are
the
simple
three
quotes
that
that
folks
just
need
to
do
for
that
that
let
that
level
and
as
far
as
a
low
bid,
we
do
that
with
on
public
works,
I
think
there's
some
statutory
requirement
to
do
so,
and
so
my
understanding
is,
is
that
we're
required
to
do
so
simply
because
of
that
I.
Do
me
this
this
I'm
not
sure.
AI
J
Absolutely
hello,
Matt!
Thank
you
for
coming
up
and
trying
to
address
some
of
my
question
here.
I
know
that
there's
a
huge
amount
of
complaint
from
small
businesses
out
there
saying
that
they
don't
have
the
opportunity
to
bid
into
a
lot
of
these
projects
either
in
public
works
or
other
entity
within
the
city
of
San
Jose.
J
AM
Good
afternoon
Atlas
acting
Public
Works
director
I,
really
welcome
the
question,
and
actually
it's
very
timely,
we'll
be
coming
to
the
community
Economic
Development
Committee
on
I
believe
in
the
next
within
the
next
month,
with
a
report
of
our
local
and
small,
in
partnership
with
Finance
on
our
construction
contracts
and
the
procurements
that
we
run
for
public
works,
there's
several
things
that
we
do
in
terms
of
Outreach.
We
have
several
things:
we've
done
in
this
last
fiscal
year
that
we're
even
new.
AM
For
example,
there
was
a
meet
the
primes
event
that
we
partnered
with
Valley
Water
and
VTA.
We
brought
in
large
Prime
contractors
and
brought
in
many
smaller
contractors
to
create
relationships
and
network,
so
they
can
form
these
bonds,
because
a
lot
of
the
problems
we're
seeing
and
challenges
we
have
is
our
contract.
Some
of
them
are
very
large,
and
so
those
very
large
contractor
contracts
are
very
hard
for
some
of
the
smaller
contractors
to
win
because
they
don't
have
necessary
experience
on
large
projects
and
so
by
partnering
with
big
firms.
AM
They
can
gain
some
that
inherent
relationship
and
build
and
grow.
We
work
with
our
Department
of
Transportation,
as
we
do
those
solicitations
for
some
of
their
projects
a
lot
of
their
concrete
work.
Those
projects
are
Bid
out
to
as
minor
contracts
or
small
contracts
that
they
could
be
successful
in
so
we
find
and
break
up
contracts
as
we
can
so
that
smaller
contracts
contractors
can
gain
some
build
that
muscle
a
bit
in
terms
of
how
to
do
Public,
Works,
broadly
contracts.
AM
We
have
Outreach
sessions,
we've
had
trainings,
we've
had
classes
and
seminars.
We
have
online
videos
of
how
to
do
it.
We
have
several
things
we
do
in
terms
of
Outreach
and
I
would
actually
say.
We
have
I
would
say
pretty
good
success
because
we
have
about
30
percent
of
our
smaller
contracts,
go
to
local
and
or
small
contractors.
That's
for
at
large
and
year
on
year.
That's
pretty
much
what
we've
been
doing,
the
larger
ones,
the
big
contracts.
Those
are
hard
for
small
contractors
to
win
because
of
their
experience.
J
Thank
you,
I
do
have
a
second
question
for
you,
Matt
coming
from
the
fire
department
facility
Captain.
We
understand
that
I
I,
think
part
of
the
policy
is
for
the
lowest
bid
and
a
lot
of
time.
When
you
get
the
lowest
bid,
you
get
the
worst
contractor,
and
sometimes
we
end
up
have
to
fire
that
contractor.
It
costs
us
more
time
money
to
go
with
the
lowest
bid.
Is
this
something
that
we
can
change
or
we
continue
to
do?
What.
AM
So
I
don't
think
low
bid.
Contracting
is
going
away
from
our
public
procurement
and
what
we
have
is
it's
low
bid,
but
it's
also
have
to
be
qualified,
so
they
have
to
have
that
requisite
experience.
If
they're,
if
it's
a
plumbing
contract,
they
need
to
have
Plumbing
experience,
they
can't
be
something
else.
They
have
to
have
the
requisite
experience
on
that
type
of
work
as
though
it's
lowest
qualified
contractor
gets
the
bid
not
just
lowest
bid.
AM
So
we
don't
often
have
incentives
for
early,
but
we
do
have
sometimes
incentive
the
negative
incentive
of
liquidated
damages.
Should
there
be
and
there's
claims
that
can
be
heard
back
and
forth
so,
depending
on
the
complexity
of
the
contract
and
the
work.
Sometimes
it's
worth
it.
Sometimes
it's
not
in
terms
of
dollars
to
chase
dollars.
So,
yes,
we
have
the
ability.
We
don't
often
have
incentivized
finish
early
but
has
been
contemplated
at
times.
AL
I
could
add
on
to
that
council
member
Don.
Thank
once
again
thank
you
for
the
question.
I
do
want
to
say
that
we
are
in
the
middle
of
this
disparity
study
and
we
are
going
into
another
set
of
Outreach
and
with
our
focus
groups
naturally
divided
into
Industries,
like
construction
and
so
I
want
to
you
all
will
be
receiving
collateral
materials
in
the
next
couple
of
weeks.
We
are
having
that
set
of
meetings
in
early
April.
AL
We've
moved
them
back
a
little
bit
for
March
and
we're
going
to
be
doing
once
again,
a
significant
blanketing
or
not
of
all
our
businesses
in
the
city
of
San
Jose.
We
last
time
we
reached
out
to
over
50
600
businesses.
We
encourage
you
to
talk
any
opportunity
that
you
have.
We
will
give
you
scripts,
we
will
come
present.
AL
We
will
do
whatever
you
want
us
to
do
to
encourage
our
businesses
to
participate,
because
we
can't
we
do
want
to
also
emphasize
that
those
discussions
with
our
Consultants
are
confidential,
so
they
can
say
whatever
they
need
to
say
that
that
they
need
from
the
city
to
participate
in
our
procurement
process.
We're
not
only
reaching
out
to
our
primes
we're
also
reaching
out
to
the
subcontractors
as
well,
but
we
do.
We
will
providing
you
with
any
materials
and
are
always
open
to
giving
any
briefing
or
presentation
at
any
venue
you
would
present
to
us.
AL
C
Great
thank
you.
I
just
had
a
quick
question
and
then
comment.
I
really
appreciate
that
we're
looking
at
leveraging
other
public
entities,
procurement
processes
and
trying
to
get
some
efficiencies
out
of
working
with
others,
I'm
wondering
when
we
do
something
like
the
disparity
study
that
you
just
referenced.
Do
we
go
to
the
county
and
or
neighboring
cities
who
are
quite
often
buying
the
same
goods
and
services,
often
from
the
same
set
of
vendors
or
suppliers?
C
Do
we
try
to
leverage
our
resources
to
make
those
kinds
of
studies
more
efficient,
I
mean
to
what
extent
are
we
looking
at?
Maybe
what
might
be
the
next
generation
of
collaboration
across
these
jurisdictions,
because
we're
doing
such
similar
things
just
seems
to
be
very
inefficient
to
do
our
procurement
in
a
silo.
AL
Thank
you
for
the
question
mayor.
We
actually
did
try
to
collaborate
with
the
county
of
Santa
Clara
on
our
particular
disparity
study,
but
at
the
time
that
we
engaged
with
the
discussion,
which
is
back
in
April
of
last
year,
we
were
about
four
months
behind
them,
so
we
were
concerned
that
we
were.
They
were
concerned
that
we
were
going
to
drag
them
back.
We
actually,
interestingly
enough,
have
caught
up
with
them,
so
we're
pretty
much
at
the
same
place
and
also
the
county
does
well.
There
are,
if
you're
looking
at
a
event.
AL
Sorry
my
math
background
a
Venn
diagram.
There
is
overlap,
however,
that
part
of
that
there's
some
things
that
are
not
overlapping.
So,
for
example,
we
don't
have
hospitals,
so
that's
an
entire
significant
procurement
area
that
we,
the
city,
has
no
no
presence
and
we
don't
need
it,
but
we
did
try.
It
just
didn't
work
out
for
as
far
as
timing
was
concerned,.
C
Okay,
yeah
and
that's
fair,
although
I
would
assume
neighboring
cities
what
they're
buying
is
quite
aligned
with
what
we're
buying
typically
I
would
think,
but
yeah
that's
great.
So
in
terms
of
the
change
that
you
are
proposing
around
leveraging
other
public
entities
procurements.
How
much
new
opportunity
does
this
open
up
for
us?
Is
there
a
way
to
quantify
the
extent
to
which
we
will
be
able
to
Leverage
What?
Other
entities
have
done
now
when
making
this
change.
How
much
impact
does
this
change
likely
to
have
the
change
to
the
municipal
code.
AL
Well,
thank
you
again
for
the
question
is:
when
we
do
procurements,
we
do
surf
the
nets,
for
example,
just
to
see
what's
out
there
and
what's
been
out
there,
and
we
do
examine
other
and
public
entities
that
have
that
have
procurements
in
which
we
are
interested.
So
we
do.
We
look
for
them
on
an
as
needed
basis.
So,
if
we
need
it,
we
go
look
for
it.
For
example,
we
we
are
in
the
process
of
procuring
some
fire
trucks.
We
went,
we
surfed
a
net
and
we
found
somebody
that
we
could
conceivably
piggyback
on.
AL
Once
again.
We
do
look
at
it
to
make
sure
that
that
piggybacking
onto
that
contract
is
beneficial
to
the
city.
Both
the
the
process
has
to
be
substantially
similar
to
ours,
and
if
we
enter
into
contract
with
that
particular
entity
that
it
is
beneficial
to
the
city
both
as
far
as
what
is
provided
and
as
far
as
cost
is
concerned,.
C
Okay,
so
does
this
give
us
much
added
Efficiency?
Do
we
think
I
think
so?
Okay
I'm
glad
to
hear
that
great
and
then
my
comment
was
just
around
the
ten
thousand
dollar
limit.
I
support
the
staff
recommendation,
but
I
do
just
want
to
flag
that
I.
Don't
know
when
that
limit
was
last
changed
and
it
may
just
be
due
to
inflation
over
time.
C
We
are
beginning,
as
we
look
at
even
very
basic
software
solutions
from
a
mail,
chimp
or
Constant
Contact
account
when
you're
sending
the
volume
of
email
we
do
or
a
CRM
solution,
a
Salesforce
type
solution.
We
are
running
into
on
an
annual
basis
that
cap
for
pretty
routine
off-the-shelf
software,
so
I
just
I
want
to
throw
that
out
there
as
a
data
point
that
I
think
we're
going
to
really
need
to
look
at
that
in
the
years
ahead.
H
Thank
you,
mayor
I'll,
make
this
quick.
Does
there
exist
some
sort
of
scorecard
for
contractors
in
regards
to
whether
maybe
they
had
a
contract
with
the
city,
and
they
did
something
wrong
right?
How
are
we
keeping
track
of
I
guess
bad
contractors?
Maybe
individuals
we've
partnered
before
so
that
we
could
keep
this
in
our
knowledge
set
as
we
make
decisions
in
the
future
for
our
Partnerships.
AL
Question
we
do
have
the
ability
to
Bar
contractors
from
doing
business
with
us,
but
that's
a
rather
dry
county.
That's
a
Draconian
step,
that's
a
significant
step
for
us.
We
do
work
with
our
contractors
to
get
into
a
place
where
they
can
be
successful,
but
at
the
end
of
the
day,
if
the
contractor
is
just
not
able
to
perform,
we
do
ask.
H
Okay,
so
there
exists
no
Matrix,
where
there's
factors
where
you
non-negotiably
would
not
partner
with
a
specific
contractor.
There's
there's
no
such
like
list
that
you
would
go
through
where
this
individual
did
this
during
our
last
partnership.
That
way,
we
won't
partner
with
them
in
the
future.
There's
nothing
like
that.
AL
H
So
then,
just
for
an
example,
if
I
don't
know,
I
wasn't
around
on
Council
for
this,
so
I
don't
know
too
much
about
this.
But,
for
example,
there
was
a
contract
with
slavery,
Towers
right
and
there
was
human
trafficking
in
regards
to
that.
If
they
came
to
the
city
right
now
to
go
for
a
project
or
something
would
they
be
viable
to
obtain
a
contract
with
the
city
of
San
Jose?
If.
AL
K
R
Are
wage
theft
considerations
in
who
can
bid
on
City
projects,
particularly
public
works,
but
also
others,
so
that
process
would
also
be
reviewed
and
if
they're
and
we
have
gone
through
the
debarment
process,
particularly
again
in
public
works
with
contractors
who
either
didn't
finish,
projects
didn't
meet
the
terms
had
wage
theft
problems
all
of
those
types
of
issues.
H
E
AD
E
E
C
AN
Okay,
good
afternoon
mayor
and
Council
John
cessarily
I'm,
director
of
parks,
recreation,
Neighborhood,
Services
with
me
interim
deputy
director
Sarah
sellers
of
our
Capital
division,
we're
here
to
talk
about
a
shoreline
study
in
a
lake
study
that
we
did
at
Lake
Cunningham
over
on
the
east
side
of
San
Jose
and
share
those
results
and
talk
about
next
steps.
So
with
that
Sarah,
please
thank
you.
AO
A
bit
of
History,
the
lake
was
constructed
in
the
late
70s
early
80s.
It
is
a
man-made
lake
found
within
the
Regional
Park
Lake
Cunningham
regional
park
is
in
the
east
side
of
San
Jose
in
Council
District.
Eight.
The
primary
function
was
a
flood
detention
Basin
with
a
pretty
substantial
Recreational
facility
component.
AO
This
timeline
is
I,
think
the
most
critical
piece
in
understanding
the
current
conditions
of
the
lake.
Historically,
the
land
was
a
wetland
most
of
the
the
Foothills
drained
into
this
area
and
water
settled
at
the
low
point.
There
fast
forward
to
the
pre-development
era
of
San
Jose.
The
area
was
used
for
extensive
cattle
grazing
and
later
Dairy
farming.
AO
The
result
of
this
is
very
nutrient
to
rich
soil
due
to
essentially
cattle
manure,
fast
forward
to
the
later
development
ages
of
San
Jose.
The
city
was
built
out.
A
lot
of
concrete
Hardscape
was
added
which
resulted
in
greater
flooding
events
which
prompted
the
city
in
partnership
with
Valley
Water
to
develop
the
lake
as
a
flood
detention
Basin.
Now
the
key
here
is
that
the
Creeks
were
not
connected
to
the
lake.
They
were
routed
around
the
lake,
so
they're.
AO
AO
So
we
conducted
another
study.
It
should
be
noted
that
the
city
did
complete
a
study
in
2010
and
that
study
focused
on
a
lot
of
mechanical
options.
The
lake
does
have
aerators,
it
has
pumps,
it
has
a
waterfall,
and
none
of
these
have
been
effective
in
improving
the
water
quality
of
the
lake,
and
this
is
primarily
because
there
aren't
any
flows
in
or
out
and
so
nutrients
don't
have
a
way
of
escaping
the
system.
AO
The
distinction
with
this
study
is
that,
rather
than
looking
back
at
mechanical
functions,
we
steered
this
to
look
at
ecological
Solutions.
Nature
has
this
great
ability
to
treat
water
primarily
through
wetlands,
and
so
we
looked
at
how
we
could
turn
this
back
into
a
living
system
to
let
kind
of
nature
take
back
over
and
clean
the
water.
So
the
water
quality
issues
are
not
only
from
nutrients
from
cattle
production,
but
are
also
just
due
to
the
conditions
of
being
a
man-made
lake.
AO
AO
AO
So
some
recommendations
are
looking
at
preventing
new
nutrients
from
entering
the
lake,
so
this
can
be
seen
as
the
image
on
the
right,
an
interceptive
biosoil,
which
would
be
capturing
and
filtering
runoff
before
it
enters
the
lake.
Other
ideas
are
to
remove
the
turf,
replace
the
turf
with
Native
Landscaping,
which
would
discourage
the
geese
populations
from
congregating
on
the
lake
edges.
If
we're
reducing
the
fecal
matter
and
then
doing
a
few
other
treatments
such
as
arresting
the
algaecide
and
treating
the
lake
bed
sediments.
AO
The
second
recommendation,
not
so
much
an
alternative,
is
to
re-grade
the
hill
slope.
The
hill
we
do
believe,
was
created
from
the
soil
on
site
when
they
dug
out
the
lake,
so
it
too
has
a
lot
of
nutrients
in
there
and
it's
very
Steep,
and
so
the
hill
is
eroding
and
as
it
erodes,
it
is
also
carrying
more
nutrients
and
more
soil
into
the
lake.
AO
Now
this
third
recommendation
is
essentially
acting
as
the
Lake's
natural
filter.
The
Proposal
is
to
install
a
flow
through
Wetland
that
would
pump
the
water
from
the
lake
through
the
Wetland
in
wetlands
are
incredible.
They
can
filter
water,
they
absorb
nutrients.
They
even
have
the
ability
to
uptake
heavy
metals,
so
this
would
be
mimicking
that
natural
system
that
has
long
been
absent
from
the
lake,
it's
reintroducing
circulation
movement
flow
and
also
increasing
Habitat,
to
really
turn
this
back
into
an
ecological
system.
AO
So,
throughout
the
study
and
this
presentation,
there
have
been
costs
associated
with
these
tasks
whenever
we're
working
on
studies.
These
are
very
high
level
planning
numbers.
These
aren't
the
numbers
we
have
necessarily
used
when
entering
into
a
construction
project.
These
are
numbers
that
start
a
conversation
to.
Let
us
know
generally
what
what
the
path
ahead
is
looking
like,
so
the
city
hasn't
necessarily
embarked
on
a
wetland
project
of
this
nature
before
so,
we
have
a
lot
to
learn.
AO
AO
Since
we
last
time
we
presented
this
last
December
at
NSC,
we
have
been
looking
at
kind
of
the
next,
the
next
step
in
this
long
path
ahead,
and
we
did
apply
for
an
open
space
Authority
grant.
That
would
allow
us
to
do
some
design,
work
and
understand
environmental
regulations
specifically
to
design
and
construct
a
one
acre
pilot
flow
through
Wetland,
and
the
key
idea
behind
this
is
that
we
need
to
understand
more.
We
need
to
understand
phosphorous
modeling
and
how
effective
a
system
like
this
would
be.
AO
So
we're
very
hopeful
that
we'll
secure
this
grant
we'll
get
a
lot
of
design
work
done.
We
will
likely
need
additional
funding
for
construction,
but
once
we
implement
this,
then
we
can
actually
understand
how
powerful
the
system
is.
We
can
understand
operations
and
maintenance,
and
then
we
could
actually
understand
true
construction
costs
because
we'd
be
able
to
scale
this
up.
AO
So
still
a
lot
of
work
to
do,
but
I
think
the
key
here
is
to
break
this
project
into
small
bite-sized
pieces,
sustain
momentum
and
just
keep
marching
ahead
until
until
we
ultimately
improve
the
water
quality
of
the
lake
and,
of
course,
give
this
back
to
the
residents
of
the
east
side.
That
can
really
use
this
as
a
very
special
ecological,
green
gem,
and
with
that
we
can
take
any
questions.
You
have.

AB
Hello,
mayor
and
city
council,
my
name
is
Juan
Estrada
staff
at
Green
Foothills.
We
support
the
7.2
Memo
from
mayor
Mayhem
and
council
members,
Candelas,
Ortiz
and
Cohen.
We
appreciate
the
effort
for
a
long-term
solution
to
this
public
safety,
health
and
environmental
crisis
that
has
not
been
addressed
for
decades.
The
situation
is
heartbreaking.
Swimming
has
been
restricted
for
decades.
It
got
so
bad.
AB
Even
Boats
were
prohibited
about
six
years
ago
or
a
few
years
ago,
despite
this
families
and
kids
frequent
this
park,
where
the
lake
is
currently
flooded,
I
visited
a
couple
of
weeks
ago
to
see
the
impact
of
flooding
I,
encourage
you
to
visit,
you'll,
see
flooding
everywhere,
you'll,
see
picnic
tables
and
benches,
and
even
the
recreation
and
play
area
flooded
with
contaminated
water,
you'll
see
kids
playing
in
or
with
the
contaminated
water
I
did.
It
was
hard
to
see
whether
or
not
flooding
exists,
they're,
not
thinking.
AB
AP
Yeah
hi
and
I
also
had
my
hand
up
earlier
for
a
comment
on
the
previous
discussions
on
Contracting
as
well,
but
anyways
with
regards
to
like
Cunningham
I
live
over
in
the
Evergreen
area,
have
lived
in
this
area
on
and
off
for
over
20
years.
AP
I
would
say
that
yes,
I've
read
the
report
itself
and
it's
a
shame
like
Cunningham
has
a
big
issue.
It
does
need
to
be
cleaned
up.
It
does
need
to
figure
out
some
way,
I
like
the
idea
of
the
restoration
of
the
wetlands,
but
the
toxic
water
has
to
go,
and
I'd
also
like
to
suggest
that
Lee
Cunningham,
perhaps
is
not.
The
only
area
like
Almaden
has
been
closed
in
the
past
because
of
you
know
naturally
occurring
Mercury
coming
up
into
the
water.
AP
So
we
need
to
look
at
all
these
things
and
then
there's
also
nearby
and
like
Cunningham.
We
also
have
a
large
Creek
area
that
runs
through
here.
So
a
lot
of
the
the
stuff
goes
between
that
I'm.
Sure
the
what
do
I
say
the
little
bio
things
in
the
water.
There
are
also
being
transmitted
over
to
the
creek,
because
you
have
a
large
population
of
Canadian
geese
and
ducks
that
go
in
between
those
two
areas
that
are
located
within
about
a
half
block
or
a
block
two
blocks
of
each
other.
AP
So
please
do
work
on
on
cleaning
up
Lake
Cunningham.
It
would
be
good
for
the
community
and
good
for
the
environment
as
well.
Thank
you.
V
Good
afternoon,
mayor
Mahan
and
council
members,
my
name
is
Casey
and
I
speak
for
the
Santa
Clara
Valley
Audubon
Society
Lake
Cunningham
is
in
a
really
sorry
State,
as
previous
speakers
have
mentioned,
it's
toxic
to
fish
and
wildlife
and
inhospitable
to
the
Eastside
Community.
That
cares
so
deeply
about
it.
Worldwide
constructed
wetlands
have
been
used
as
green
infrastructure
features
to
provide
habitat

Can
everyone
hear
me
okay?
Yes,
my
name
is
Amy
and
I
am
a
resident
of
Eastside
San
Jose,
currently
obtaining
my
master's
degree
in
urban
and
Regional
planning
and
specializing
in
environmental
justice
at
Portland,
State
University.
The
main
reason
why
I
decided
to
study
this
was
because
I
grew
up
in
an
environmentally
racist
area.
I
grew
up
in
a
low-income,
latinx
and
Asian
neighborhood
right
by
the
101,
with
no
accessible
Transit,
no
green
space
and
I
was
in
a
food
desert.
AU
Eastside
San
Jose
has
always
been
a
second
thought
when
it
comes
to
environmental
health
issues
or
any
other
community
Improvement
Lake
Cunningham
has
experienced
detrimental
decline
throughout
my
whole
life.
I
remember
running
through
this
area.
During
my
cross-country
meet
when
I
was
when
I
was
attending
August,
Boger
middle
school
and
thought
to
myself,
wow
I
wish
this
park
was
cleaner
and
it
had
better
conditions
for
me
to
even
just
swim
in
13
years
later,
and
nothing
has
changed
if
we
don't
improve
the
conditions
of
Lake
Cunningham.
Now,
when
will
we
do
it?
AU
These
residents
and
families
deserve
better
makes
it
east
side
San
Jose
at
the
Forefront
of
your
decision
making
and
make
it
a
more
Equitable
place
to
live.
I
strongly
urge
the
council
to
accept
the
Candelas
in
Ortiz
memo
and
give
voters
what
was
promised
in
measure
T,
putting
These
funds
towards
preventing
flooding
and
water
quality
contamination.
Thank
you.
AV
Thank
you
mayor
and
thanks
staff
for
the
presentation,
so
my
staff
and
I
were
out
there
this
weekend
at
Lake
Cunningham,
and
we
decided
to
bring
a
little
bit
of
Lake
Cunningham
to
City
Hall.
AV
Water
quality
that
we're
talking
about
Blake
Cunningham
is
in
District
8.
and
my
family
and
I
like
a
lot
of
families
in
San,
Jose
I
grew
up
going
to
this
Lake
swimming
and
in
the
summer
before
it
was
restricted
in
the
mid
90s.
The
city
has
been
aware
of
the
concerns
regarding
Lake
Cunningham's,
poor
water
quality
for
decades.
Now
the
results
continue
to
show
conditions
keep
deteriorating.
AV
This
is
an
environmental
disaster
and
more
remains
to
be
done
in
narrow,
specific
actions
that
improve
water
quality,
and
that
is
the
purpose
of
our
memo.
I'd,
like
staff
to
return
later
this
year
with
specifics
on
the
infrastructure
repairs.
The
park
is
past
due
for
various
Capital
infrastructure,
repairs
and
replacements,
recurring
floods
and
stagnant
water
have
caused
damage
to
the
amenities
evidenced
by
the
conditions
of
the
picnic
area.
The
new
play
structure
which,
by
the
way,
opened
in
2017
and
the
big
Meadow
contaminants
in
the
lake,
extend
to
the
the
amenities
and
the
waters
rise.
AV
Every
rainy
season,
those
same
contaminants
can
be
left
in
the
soil
and
go
Airborne.
This
is
an
injustice
Injustice
to
our
residents,
because
maintenance
continues
to
be
defers,
deferred
and
costs
continue
to
increase.
Let's
not
wait.
Another
decade
before
we
start
working
on
tangible
and
critical
improvements
to
this
Regional
Park
that
benefits
our
entire
city
and
can
once
again
be
an
attraction
for
our
region,
as
many
of
us
know
here,
further
delaying
makes
these
repairs
just
increase
and
the
costs
go
up
over
time.
AV
We've
had
conversations
with
with
Partners
at
the
federal
state
and
Regional
level
on
Lake
Cunningham.
They
are
aware
of
the
historical
neglect
of
this
Lake
and
the
community
and
that
neglect
that
the
community
has
faced.
They
are
ready
to
support
improvements
at
this
park,
but
it
is
imperative
that
this,
the
city
have
skin
in
the
game
and
and
contribute
you
know,
funding
which
will
have
an
opportunity
to
talk
about
later
today
and
another
quick
note.
AV
I
do
want
to
point
out
that,
unlike
Almaden
Lake,
which
already
has
funding
in
collaboration
with
the
water
district
and
the
city,
this
Lake
needs
that
kind
of
intentionality
and
actions
from
this
Council.
Now
that
being
said,
I'll
move
our
memos
recommendations,
as
as
stated
in
our
memo
with
the
mayor
council,
member,
Ortiz
and
and
councilmember
second.
H
Thank
you,
mayor
I,
want
to
thank
staff
for
returning
this
very
critical
piece
of
information,
highlighting
the
disrepair
that
Lake
Cunningham
faces.
I
really
hope
that
we
can
build
off
of
today's
report
and
make
lasting
impact
and
action
as
opposed
to
other
times
when
Lake
Cunningham
Studies
have
been
brought
forward.
H
Now,
again,
our
communities
are
forced
to
worry
about
their
Council,
pushing
forward
consideration
regarding
the
contamination
in
their
District
in
the
contaminated
lake
of
Lake
Cunningham
problems
found
in
the
lake
include
elevated
fecal,
coliform
levels,
toxin,
producing
algae
growth
and
the
low
dissolved
oxygen
concentrations,
all
of
which
have
killed
wildlife
and
detrimentally
affected.
The
quality
of
experience
available
at
Lake
Cunningham
every
raining
season
water
collects
drastically
and
the
contaminated
water
extends
into
the
park
where
our
children
play
into
the
picnic
area
where
our
families
gather
to
eat
and
enjoy
their
time
at
the
Regional.
H
H
The
lake
is
past
due
for
various
Capital
infrastructure
repairs,
including
underground
drainage
above
ground,
water
pumps
and
the
damage
to
amenities.
Flooding
has
caused
as
a
new
council
member
I'm
committed
to
fight
the
good
fight.
Though
I
ask
for
infant
empathy
for
our
community,
who
are
tired
of
fighting
for
the
bare
minimum
and
respect
from
their
City.
This
shouldn't
even
be
a
question.
We
should
prioritize
our
communities
now
and
put
in
place
a
solution
that
has
been
pushed
back
for
the
last
30
years.
Now
is
time
to
to
make
the
right
choice
and
act.
H
P
I
understand
and
I
have
the
extreme
sympathy
and
empathy
for
Lake
Cunningham
I
really
want
to
know
for
a
moment
before
I
comment.
What
is
your
exact
recommendation.
H
C
F
P
C
Sure
so
let
me
just
try
to
clarify
we're
right
now,
specifically
on
staff
status
report
on
Lake
Cunningham.
There's
a
group
memo
that
council
members
Candelas
Ortiz,
Cohen
and
I
put
out
last
week.
The
reason
I
don't
want
to
re
I'd
rather
not
State
the
rexes.
If
we
just
verbalize
them,
we
may
get
details
wrong
I'd.
Rather
it's
a
Page
worth
of
recommendations
with
background.
Yes,
so
you
have
a
copy
of
it.
Now
like
this
is
separate
from
the
the
subsequent
item.
So
I
don't
want
to.
P
Conflate
the
two,
the
only
reason
I
asked
for
this
clarification
mayor,
because
when
our
council
member
card
Dallas
was
speaking,
he
threw
in
those
words
which
were
related
to
the
other
item.
We
are
going
to
be
discussing.
That's
why
we
asked
for
I
asked
for
this
clarification
so
now
that
I
have
your
memo
and
I
understand
what
is
being
done.
So
let
me
comment
on
what
I'm,
yes,
I
agree
with
the
recommendations
which
are
being
made
about
improving
the
life
in
and
around
the
lake
Cunningham.
P
There
has
been
a
request
for
a
long
time
for
a
proposal
to
come
out
in
front
of
the
council,
which
breaks
this
major
project,
which
is
requires
unknown
Technologies,
unknown
solutions
to
really
quantify
those
Solutions
and
propose
so
I,
like
the
idea
that
you
intend
to
do
a
prototype,
because
you
don't
know
whether
the
solution
is
going
to
work
and
solve
the
problem
you
are
about
to
solve.
So
I
was
here
in
May
June
of
2022.
P
When
the
discussion
about
this
thing
happened
and
our
Mayor
Sam
lacardo
gave
the
instruction
that
let
us
do
this
kind
of
a
study
take
a
nominal
amount
of
time
and
money
to
figure
out.
What's
going
on
and
I'm
pleased
to
see
that
you
have
brought
that
kind
of
a
report
in
front
of
us,
so
I
support
this
motion,
this
effort,
which
you
are
doing
to
attack
this
problem
in
a
very
meaningful
way.
Okay,
thank
you
very
much
for
the
staff
work.
T
Yeah,
thank
you
and
I
want
to
thank
you
for
this
study.
Many
of
us
have
been
frustrated
for
a
long
time
about
this
park
and
many
other
parks
that,
over
time,
we
haven't
had
the
resources
to
be
able
to
keep
up
properly.
In
this
particular
case,
the
the
effects
of
that
long-term
inability
to
invest
are
much
more
noticeable
and
visible
because
of
the
lake
that
other
Parks
don't
necessarily
have
that
direct
indicator.
T
T
You
talked
about
what
you
use
the
term
Alternatives
in
the
slide.
I
know
they're,
not
Alternatives,
but
stages
and
different
work.
That
has
to
be
done.
T
First
question
is:
are
you
suggesting
that,
in
order
to
fully
attack
the
problem,
we
would
want
to
complete
all
of
those
Alternatives
at
some
point,
or
are
there
a
subset
of
them
that
are
the
most
important
to
make
sure
we
have
the
park
at
the
place
at
the
place?
You
want
it
to
be.
AO
Thanks
for
the
question
well,
I
think,
honestly,
we
don't
necessarily
have
all
the
answers
and
that's
one
of
the
important
pieces
of
piloting
the
flow
through
Wetland,
but
each
recommendation
is
tackling
a
different
component.
So
we
do
need
to
filter
the
lake
water,
but
we
also
need
to
keep
more
nutrients
from
getting
into
the
lake,
and
so
I
do
believe
that
we
will
need
to
implement
all
recommendations
to
see
noticeable
improvements
in
water
quality.
AO
But
some
pieces
absolutely
have
to
be
constructed
together
and
there
are
a
few
smaller
pieces
that
may
be
possible
to
implement
independently.
So
some
of
the
interceptions,
swales
I,
think
if
we
strategically
locate
those
those
would
not
be
impacted
by
the
future
plans,
as
well
as
converting
the
turf
to
Native
Landscapes.
There
are
quite
a
few
areas
where
we
could
do
that
relatively
economically
likely
through
volunteer
efforts.
T
And
that's
kind
of
the
the
caution
I
wanted
to
make.
Not
that
I
mean
we
have
to
get
to
that
point,
but
there
is
no
short-term
fix
to
the
water
quality
problem
and
I
want
to
make
sure
we
also
are
investing
wisely
so
that
what
we
do
isn't
lost
because
we
haven't
yet
done
the
piece
that
will
remain
that
will
maintain
the
work
we
do.
I
mean
if
we
do
a
short-term
cleaning.
T
We
just
know
that
in
a
year
or
two
we'll
end
up
with
unusable
water
again,
so
we
have
to
make
sure
we
Implement
those
steps
and
I
appreciate
the
creativity
or
the
the
new
thought
of
new
technology
in
terms
of
biosales
and
Wetland
preservation.
T
You
know
we
talked
a
couple
years
ago,
or
maybe
it
was
a
year
ago
about
how
the
most
important
thing
there
is:
the
movement
of
water,
the
having
water
coming
in
and
out,
and
how
we're
going
to
put
in
the
pumping
and
other
systems
that
we
need
to
really
clean
on
the
water
and
keep
it
clean
and
I
appreciate
this
idea
of
using
a
an
environmental
approach.
T
You
know
using
the
the
forces
of
nature
to
do
the
cleanup
as
opposed
to
just
putting
a
filter
and
running
it
through
a
pump,
so
I
do
think
that's
a
good
good
idea.
So,
just
one
more
question
on
the
on
the
funding:
there's
probably
no
of
the
lower
dollar
amount
work,
there's,
probably
nothing
that
we
can
do
to
make
the
water
usable
in
the
near
future.
I.
Is
that
a
true
statement.
AO
I
would
agree
with
that.
You
know
I
see
this
project
as
a
marathon,
where
we
have
to
take
baby
steps
to
ultimately
get
to
the
the
finish
line.
But
every
little
thing
we
do
is
going
to
help
get
us
closer
to
the
goal,
but
unfortunately
there's
not
a
magical
shortcut
and
it's
it's
not
a
project
that
we're
going
to
be
able
to
implement
overnight,
but
I
think
we'll
get
there
eventually.
T
Yeah
great
thanks,
I
I
was
very
happy
to
sign
on
to
this
memo,
because
I
think
now.
This
lays
out
a
plan
to
to
go
out
and
search
for
funding,
to
go
out
and
search
for
and
understand
the
steps
needed
to
do
the
cost
analysis
to
figure
out
what
stages
can
be
done
and
when
and
I
look
forward
to
seeing
those
results.
I
think
you're
talking
about
later
this
year,
and
so
we
can
move
on
and
figure
out
how
to
how
to
get
that
moving
forward.
So
thank
you
very
much.
C
Thanks,
council,
member
and
I'll
just
say,
I
appreciate
yours,
and
especially
councilors,
Candelas
and
and
Ortiz's
advocacy
for
the
lake
and
and
collaboration
on
the
memo.
I
think
it's
really
going
to
be
good
later
in
the
year
in
the
fall
to
come
back
and
understand
what
the
city's
strategy
is
for
going
out
and
pursuing
other
sources
of
funding
to
get
us
to
a
place
where
we
can
actually
take
on
the
level
of
work.
AK
Thank
you,
I
have
Ahmed
is
really
really
important,
especially
when
people
have
taken
the
time.
So
I
want
to
thank
the
clerk
for
the
access
to
the
translation.
Language
I.
Do
think,
however,
that
many
of
our
callers
may
not
understand
that
they
need
to
pause,
I,
think
whether
it's
in
Spanish
Vietnamese
or
whatever,
Chinese.
Whatever
language,
you
need
to
say
something,
or
else
the
message
gets
lost.
AK
So
as
someone
whose
first
language
is
Spanish,
I
think
that
it's
important
so
I
hope
that
the
translator
can
give
a
little
bit
of
guidance
to
let
people
know
that
they
need
to
pause.
So
thank
you
for
that.
I
I
want
to
have
a
little
bit
more
clarification
on
flow
through
Wetland.
What
exactly
is
that
I
noticed
that
you
have
several
Creeks,
whether
it's
lower
Silver,
Creek,
Ruby,
Creek
and
other
Creeks?
AO
Sure
no,
this
this
is
not
recommending
to
connect
back
to
the
Creeks
there's
a
much
larger
effort
in
flood
control,
modifications
that
Valley
Water
has
implemented.
So
all
of
our
conversations
have
led
to
no
connecting
The.
Creeks
is
not
an
option,
and
so
the
flow
through
Wetland
is
really
going
to
be
a
contained
system
within
the
park,
be
it
constructed
Wetland,
you
would
have
to
utilize
a
pump
to
move
water.
AK
The
reason
why
I
bring
it
up
is
because,
when
looking
at
long-term,
you
know
it's
it's
it's
hard
to
believe
that
if
you're
going
to
invest
that
much
and
for
you
know,
I
mean
it's
going
to
be
very
costly
having
it
self-contained
it's
going
to
be
I,
it's
not
self-sustainable
over
time.
You
know
it's
just
going
to
keep
being
much
more
expensive,
just
keeping
it
as
a
closed
system.
You
will
always
have
problems
with
that.
AO
Yeah,
thank
you
yeah
lake
almadin
is
is
a
very
unique
Lake.
It
was
actually
formed
by
two
quarries
and
the
Levee
collapse
forming
a
lake
and
then
that
joined
with
Los,
Alamitos
Creek,
so
completely
different
characteristics
there,
as
they're
battling
with
Mercury,
naturally
occurring
whereas
Lake
Cunningham
is
really
a
shallow
10
foot
deep
lake
and
it's
not
necessarily
tackling
heavy
metals
like
Mercury.
AO
It
really
is
due
to
the
Past
land
uses
of
cattle
production
and
essentially
just
dumping
a
lot
of
nitrogen
and
phosphorus
into
the
soil
so
circulating
those
nutrients
out
is
really
key,
and
so
I
do
agree
that
if
you
have
a
wetland
you
will,
you
will
have
to
understand
long-term
operations
and
maintenance,
and
that's
also
why
we
feel
that
the
pilot
project
is
the
best
means
of
doing
this.
When
we
first
evaluated
the
study.
The
first
question
was:
why
don't
we
just
connect
the
Creeks
to
the
lake
like
and
that
really
is
very
complex.
AO
It
requires
a
lot
of
understanding
of
other
agencies,
the
U.S
Army
Corps,
Valley
Water,
and
what
we
found
was
it's
just
it's
it's
at
this
point.
We
found
it
to
be
infeasible,
but
biological
filters
are
actually
less
maintenance
than
mechanical
filters.
AO
So
you
really
are
relying
off
of
the
power
of
plants.
The
key
maintenance
would
be
maintaining
the
pump
system
and
then
developing
an
understanding
of
how
often
you
might
have
to
remove
material
buildup,
but
there
are
systems
in
place
even
in
the
state
of
California
in
Arcata
California.
They
are
using
a
system
of
wetlands
to
treat
their
Municipal
sewage,
so
these
systems
do
exist,
but
I
think
once
again
we
have
a
lot
more
homework
to
do.
AO
How
much
are
we
really
able
to
reduce
the
phosphorus
in
the
system
if
we
take
water
samples
at
the
beginning
of
the
Wetland
and
then
as
it's
exiting
the
Wetland,
that
can
tell
us
a
really
clear
picture
of
what's
happening
and
then
we
can
involve
the
maintenance
teams,
understand
the
challenge
or
the
Simplicity
of
Maintenance
and
then
really
have
that
long-term
Vision
planning
to
understand
the
complexity,
but
I
do
think
that
this
this
would
be
much
more
achievable
than
connecting
The
Creeks.
Given
what
what
we
know
today,
but
thank
you
for
your
question.
AO
Yeah-
and
you
know,
interestingly
enough,
the
big
Meadow
wants
to
be
a
wetland.
Hence
it
is
kind
of
a
separate
Lake
right
now,
so
we
are
looking
at
that
that
space,
since
the
turf
is
incredibly
hard
to
maintain.
There
are
a
lot
of
alkalized
species
that
are
coming
back
from
the
Wetland
area,
so
the
idea
would
be
to
to
stop
fighting
against
nature,
build
a
wetland.
There
flow
the
water
through,
let
it
exit
back
out
into
the
lake
and
create
a
cycling
system.
Thank.
AK
J
Thank
you
staff
for
the
report.
It's
sad
to
see
that
a
beautiful
Lake
that
multi-communities
use
does
like
Cunningham
and
and
I've
been
up
here
since
1983
and
I
I,
remember
taking
my
niece
out
there
swimming
as
well
and
I
enjoy
being
out
there
and
even
boating
for
that
matter.
You
know:
non-motorized
boating.
J
J
AO
Well,
one
of
the
challenges
is,
with
studies
typically
come
high
level
planning
numbers
and,
as
we
develop
a
thorough
understanding,
then
those
costs
are
refined.
So
the
50
million
is
more
of
a
conversation.
Starter
I,
don't
think
we
fully
understand
the
costs
until
we
really
Whittle
down
and
break
things
into
phases
and
then
get
Engineers
estimates
behind
them.
AO
So
My
Hope
Is
that
as
we
refine
the
project,
we'll
refine
the
costs
and
we'll
see
those
numbers
decrease,
but
we
won't
know
until
we
advance
the
work
quite
a
bit
and
and
really
dive
into
all
of
the
details.
AO
AO
Even
then,
that
would
be
a
number
of
years
to
work
through
environmental
assessments
and
just
develop
the
construction
documents
and
get
it
into
construction.
So
it's
hard
to
give
a
timeline.
I
think
funding
is
definitely
going
to
be
the
main
obstacle,
but
if
we
secured
funding,
I
would
work
on
this
on
the
weekend.
This
is
really
a
priority.
K
AO
AO
Side
of
the
box,
your
resources
are
very
limited,
so
we're
looking
to
leverage
Partnerships
and
external
funding
sources
and
potentially
state
federal
grants,
but
we'll
be
looking
everywhere.
C
That's
commitment:
okay,
council
member
Torres.
G
Thank
you
prnest,
and
thank
you
for
for
wanting
to
work
on
the
weekends
to
repair
this
beautiful
gem
in
the
east
side.
Lake
Cunningham
is
a
gem
in
our
east
side
and
unfortunately,
we
all
know
that
it's
been
under
invested
for
almost
three
decades
and
as
a
matter
of
fact,
during
my
time
as
a
staffer
for
council
member
Carrasco,
I
was
consistently
asked
at
Community
Gatherings
at
Quinceaneras,
at
weddings.
G
That
was
on
my
personal
time,
of
course,
when
the
rehabilitation
of
Lake
Cunningham
was
finally
going
to
begin
and,
unfortunately,
and
sadly,
I
didn't,
have
an
answer
to
give
our
constituents
nor
my
family
or
friends,
since
our
friends
and
family
still
utilize,
Lake,
Cunningham
and
I
really
want
to
thank
all
the
all
the
other
leaders
and
the
stakeholders,
who
called
in
expressing
their
support
for
rehabilitation
of
of
Lake
Cunningham.
G
G
This
is
an
environmental
Equity
issue,
and
so
thank
you
to
council
members,
Candelas
and
council
member
Ortiz
and
councilmember
Cohen
and
the
mayor
for
for
submitting
this
memo
and
and
I'm
glad
to
see
that
my
colleague
councilmember
Candela
Candelas
had
his
Aaron
Brockovich
moment.
So
thank
you.
Yeah.
AV
Okay,
thanks
I'm
blushing,
now
a
quick,
quick
question
so
just
to
clarify
alternative
one
or
phase
one
would
not
improve
water
quality
at
Lake,
Cunningham.
AO
Hopefully,
the
ecologists
that
worked
on
this
study
isn't
kicking
me
and
visibly
under
the
table,
but
the
those
particular
recommendations
are
really
looking
at
preventing
additional
nutrients
from
entering
the
lake.
So
it's
working
towards
the
same
goal,
but
we
don't
actually
feel
that
the
water
quality
inside
of
the
lake
will
be
greatly
improved
until
we
roll
out
all
of
the
recommendations.
AO
Most
importantly,
the
flow
through
Wetland,
because
the
flow
through
Wetland
is
the
system
that
would
pull
water
from
the
lake
circulate
that
water
through
and
help
pull
nutrients
out
the
best
the
bench
Wetlands
would
also
be
absorbing
nutrients,
but
we're
just
we're
still
not
sure
what
what
the
rate
of
absorption
would
be
yeah
and
that's.
Why
we'd
like
to
do
more
modeling
to
understand
how
quickly
can
plants
absorb
nutrients?
AV
Right
so
to
to
your
comment
earlier
about,
obviously
vice
mayor
kame
made
a
good
point
about
connecting
water
systems
and
the
infeasibility
of
the
appearance
of
something
where
we
don't
know
about,
because,
of
course,
coordinating
with
Valley
Water,
of
course,
coordinated
with
Army
Corps
of
Engineers.
AV
Of
course,
something
of
this
effort
is
is
hard
because
we
haven't
focused
on
it,
because
we
haven't
been
intentional
about
making
this
a
priority,
and
if
we
had
the
funding,
we
would,
if
you
said
it
yourself,
but
we
have
it
and
as
a
council
we
haven't
and
so
I
I.
Just
my
comments
are
just
you
know,
you
know.
They're
they're,
obviously,
is
a
city.
We
have
competing
priorities,
and
you
know
you
know.
AV
I
just
want
I
want
to
ensure
and
and
Hammer
that
you
know,
let's,
let's
not
pass
on
an
opportunity
to
do
good
in
East
San
Jose
in
a
historically
disenfranchised
part
of
the
city.
That's
all
thank
you.
C
Yeah
I
think
that
the
hope
here
is
coming
back
in
the
fall
with
a
funding
strategy
will
enable
us
to
do
some
of
that
interagency
work
to
secure
funding.
I
know
from
following
similar
issues.
It
is
distinct,
but
at
amaden
Lake,
where
we
have
both
the
Mercury
issue,
but
also
also
the
geese
fecal
matter
issue.
If
it
wasn't
for
Valley
Waters
commitment,
we
would
not
be
able
to
move
forward
the
project
that
it
is
slated
to
happen
there,
so
we're
going
to
have
to
really
leverage
funding
from
other
other
agencies.
F
Thank
you
may
I
appreciate
it.
I
just
have
a
few
questions
and
I'll
be
supporting
the
memo.
I
think
this
is
certainly
a
worthwhile
discussion
worthwhile
effort
to
do
everything
we
can
to
uplift
Lake
Cunningham,
Park
and
I'm.
Not
you
know,
I'm
looking
at
the
screen,
I
don't
know
if
John
cicerelli's
there
I
see
I,
see
someone
sitting
in
the
Box.
F
F
If
the
recent
sort
of
study,
if
you
will
or
call
it
a
study,
the
recent
work
that's
been
done
to
evaluate
the
water
quality
and
other
such
things
was
there
anything
new
that
was
found
in
this
recent
sort
of
look
at
it,
as
opposed
to
you
know
as
compared
to
2010
or
did
the
same
sort
of
culprit
sort
of
rear
their
head?
If
you.
AN
Will
yeah
thank
you
councilmember.
They
were
looking
at
somewhat
different
aspects
of
what
was
going
on
at
the
lake.
This
one's
looking
I
think
more
of
it
as
an
ecological
system
and
the
other
one
was
looking
at
it
more
of
how
do
you
clean
the
water
with
pumps
and
things
like
that,
so
so,
I'm
sure
we
learned
new
things,
but
to
be
honest,
I,
don't
I,
don't
recall
the
comparison
between
the
two,
but,
for
example,
I
didn't
know.
AN
We
still
don't
know
some
other
things.
For
example,
we
think,
or
we
suspect
it
may
be
fed
by
a
spring,
underneath
it
is
very
close
to
the
water
table
underneath
because
this
is
the
lowest
spot
over
there
on
that
side
of
the
of
the
city,
which
is
why
it
wants
to
be
a
wetland
because
all
the
water
rolls
down
to
the
low
spot.
AN
So
I.
Think
in
hindsight
you
look
back
all
those
many
decades.
We
just
built
a
project
that
was
mostly
destined
to
fail.
You
can't
close
in
a
water
system
like
this
and
not
do
something
to
keep
it
quote
alive.
If
you
will
so
we
are,
for
example,
still
don't
know
if
Raging
Waters,
which
is
right
next
to
it,
are
the
is
that
contributing
in
any
way
is
there
effluent
coming
from
there?
Is
there
runoff
coming
from
there?
Those
are
questions
that
we
still
haven't
answered
and
so
to
to
Sarah's
earlier
points.
AN
F
All
right
and
then
you
know,
there's
been
a
lot
about.
A
lot
has
been
said
about
the
fact
that
you
know
we
as
a
city-
or
you
know,
council
members,
I
guess
specifically
have
known
about
this
issue
and
nothing's
been
done.
I'm
curious.
If
you
could
sort
of
talk
about
sort
of
why
it
remains
in
the
state
that
it's
in.
AN
And
it
still
comes
down
to
money.
Unfortunately,
there
was
for
a
while.
We
had
a
somewhat
different
pumping
system
working
in
in
pushing
water
around
out
there,
but
it
was
off
a
meter
and
so
that
not
very
expensive
and
today
it'd
be
way
more
expensive,
because
the
cost
of
water
just
continues
to
go
up,
but
again
that
and
other
things
never
really
seemed
to
make
the
difference
put
enough
fresh
or
new
water
in
there
and
move
old
water
out
to
be
able
to
sort
of
save
it
from
its
current
fate.
AN
F
AN
It's
at
least
that
it's
probably
more,
we
don't
even
fully
have
the
whole
system
completely
mapped
out,
but
it's
at
least
a
half
a
billion
and.
F
AN
Accurate
statement
you
know
I
would
have
to
look
to
be
certain.
You
know
we
have.
We
have
a
few
very
large
big
dollar
items.
They're
spread
out
over
many
districts,
Overfelt
Park's
a
great
one
as
an
example,
because
it
also
has
a
water
problem
now,
because
the
water
system,
that
was
there
changed
over
time
and
the
water
that
was
going
in
there
and
filling
those
ponds
was
rerouted.
AN
F
F
Okay,
well,
I
would
just
State
publicly
and
I.
Don't
have
all
the
all
the
information
at
hand
but
I'm
sure
there's
Folks
up
there
on
the
dice
that
maybe
know
more
than
I,
especially
the
mayor
but
I
know.
There's
active
conversations
in
the
community
from
private
groups
and
even
I
know
there's
been
talks
within
the
parks
department
of
the
past
about
trying
to
find
a
sustainable
funding
source
to
help
plug
these
holes,
and
so
I
think.
F
F
So
I
just
want
to
say
that,
because
I
thought
that
was
important,
the
other
thing
I
was
going
to
ask,
is
you
know
I
want
to
make
sure
I
read
the
report
correctly
and
I
think
you
alluded
to
it
at
a
sort
of
tail
end
of
your
comments
to
I
think
it
was
council
member
Cardenas
in
his
last
round,
and
that
was
in
one
of
the
report.
It
seemed
to
me
that
we
think
that
some
fecal
matter
is
Flowing
from
Raging
Waters
is,
is
that
is
that
the
case
yeah.
AN
F
W
AN
And
it's
for
the
grass.
The
grass
is
actually
not
easy
to
grow
there
for
all
the
reason
we
talked
about
it
doesn't
want
to
be
grass.
It
wants
to
be
a
wetland.
It
wants
to
be
a
low
point
that
holds
water
and
we've.
You
know
we
didn't
think
about
that.
I,
don't
think
at
all
when
this
was
designed
or
built
today.
If
we,
if
we
were
presented
with
the
exact
same
problem,
we
would
probably
approach
it
quite
differently
than
the
solution
that
we
came
up
with
all
those
years
ago.
AN
AN
I
guess
oh
yeah!
Well,
if
we
want
grass
there,
we
need
some
fertilizer,
because
the
soil
is
very
poor.
But,
yes,
part
of
the
recommendation
is
start,
removing
the
turf
so
that
we
don't
need
to
fertilize
it
so
that
fertilizer
doesn't
find
its
way
down
in
the
interim,
we're
not
intending
necessarily
to
stop
fertilizing,
because
it
is
when
it
is
dry.
It
is
used
right.
U
F
Okay,
very
good
and
then
the
the
other,
the
other
thing
I
was
curious
about
it,
and
you
know
my
reading
of
a
lot
of
the
Alternatives
and
such
it's
and
I'm
not
sure
if
this
I
think
this
language
was
used
in
the
report,
but
it
said
conceptual
costs
and
and
what
I
read
that
to
me
is
just
simply
that
we
don't
know
what
all
the
costs
are.
We
sort
of
have
a
a
sense
as
to
what
it
may
be.
Is
that
a
correct
interpretation
of
the
report
of
some
of
what
was
laid
out?
F
Yeah,
yeah,
okay,
and
so
so
with
that
you
know,
assuming
we
take
baby
steps
to
do
x,
y
z,
you
know,
let's
just
say
we
throw
a
few
million
dollars
at
the
at
some
of
the
sort
of
you
know.
I
think
it's
the
first
alternative.
If
you
will
it's
quite
possible
that
we
can
do
that,
and
then
we
find
because
it
seemed
to
me
that
we're
going
to
need
to
continue
to
monitor.
F
AN
It
if
it
did
the
first
little
bit
there
if,
if
we
did,
that,
would
have
minimal
effect,
I
can't
even
for
sure
say
it
would
be
measurable
effect,
so
it
is,
as
Sarah
mentioned
earlier,
meant
to
build
on
itself,
but
I'm,
not
even
certain,
yet
we're
at
the
point
where
we
want
to
say
start
with
that
one.
So
you
know
one
of
the
I
think
one
of
the
advantages
to
the
the
blue
memo
that
was
issued
is
that
it
gives
us
about.
AN
You
know
half
a
year
more,
come
back
in
the
fall
and
have
looked
more
deeply
into
some
of
these
very
questions
that
we're
saying.
Well,
we're
not
sure
we
need
to
look
into
it
so
that
we
can
more
fully
understand
what's
going
on
and
then
give
you
a
better
recommendation
of
what
order
of
operations
we
think
we
should
approach
this
from.
F
Okay,
very
good,
and
then
you
know,
my
very
last
question
is
this:
is
I
know
that
when
we're
looking
at
development
projects
of
buildings
and
things
of
that
nature,
we
we
sometimes
use
the
language
that
certain
projects
are
quote
shovel
ready,
meaning
that
they're
ready
to
go
if
they
had
the
funding.
Would
you
say
that
the
work
outlined
in
this
report
is
quote
unquote,
shovel
ready,
no.
C
Great,
thank
you,
council,
member,
just
one
quick
question
from
me
before
we
vote.
I
wanted
to
just
make
sure
we
set
expectations
for
this
prototype
I'm
excited
about
it,
but
I
also
recognize
250
000.
If
we
get
it,
there's
not
a
whole
lot
of
money.
Can
you
tell
us
a
little
more
about
how
we
imagine
we
would
use
that
for
this
Wetlands
prototype
what
we
might
learn
from
that
that
could
inform
future
phases.
AO
Sure
yeah,
the
the
Osa
Grant
itself
is
in
the
amount
of
250
000
and
we
did
propose
a
reserve
to
supplement
costs
for
that
design,
work
and
potential
construction.
So
when
we
Embark
in
design
that
will
give
us
a
chance
to
really
dig
into
the
details,
understand
Wetland
construction
and
then
also
really
understand
environmental
regulations,
which
is
going
to
be
key
to
constructing
a
wetland
and
then
through
that
effort,
then
we
could
really
break
down
every
single
line
item
and
develop
accurate
cost
estimates.
AO
So
from
that
point
forward
we
would
know
okay,
here's
here's,
what
environmental
regulations
require?
Here's
the
true
cost
for
construction.
If
we
found
that
construction
costs
were
higher,
we
could
scale
the
project
down
to
fit
whatever
budget
we
had
appropriated
because
any
pilot
we
do
is
going
to
help
us
understand
changes
in
water
quality,
so
I'm
pretty
confident
that
we
could.
We
can
make
some
progress,
even
if
it
is
less
than
an
acre
in
size.
C
AO
Great
yeah,
we
we
did
recommend
in
the
next
fiscal
year
a
reserve
to
supplement
this.
What
we're
not
sure
of
is
the
breakdown
and
how
much
the
design
will
cost
versus
the
construction.
So
I
feel
my
gut
instinct
is
yes,
absolutely
design
will
be
covered
and
will
have
some
remainder
for
construction,
but
we
might
have
to
either
supplement
the
construction
budget
or
that
or
just
scale
the
project
down
to
meet
the
budget.
We
have
great.
C
AN
I
did
right,
I
know
you're
about
to
call
the
vote,
but
I
I
just
wanted
to
ask
for
a
quick
point
of
order.
AN
So
just
for
the
council's
awareness,
when
this
was
presented
to
NSC
Committee
in
December,
we
were
given
some
direction
to
bring
back
an
MBA
on
this
costing,
but
it
was
more
generalized
than
this
latest
memo,
and
what
I
would
like
to
request
is
that
this,
this
blue
memo
being
considered
today
be
the
the
report
and
that
that
MBA
be
laid
aside
for
two
months
from
now
and
give
us
the
six
months
to
really
dig
in
better.
As
we've
talked
about.
C
AV
AN
F
If
I
can
I'm
curious.
C
F
Know
I
typically
sit
next
to
North.
I
could
lean
over
and
ask
you
this,
so
my
apologies
I
have
to
ask
this,
but
no
would
it
be
appropriate
if
we
gave
direction
to
save
someone
from
a
city
manager's
office
saying
leave
Wilcox
to
work
with
outside
Partners
on
a
potential
Park
funding
measure
in
the
future.
AF
Actually
I
would
just
councilmember
Jimenez.
This
is
Lee
Wilcox
city
manager,
so
we
actually
do
have
staff
Direction
already
to
continue
to
investigate
the
feasibility
of
future
Parks
measure
for
unmet
Park's
needs
and
all
the
parks
across
the
city,
as
well
as
a
financing
structure
that
may
or
may
not
include
operational
Dollars
around
ongoing
maintenance
as
well.
So
we
did
polling
on
that
late
last
year.
F
AF
You
know
we
have
a
lot
of
different
direction
around
possible
ballot
measures
around
modif,
modernizing
the
charter
in
some
areas
as
well
as
this,
so
I
I
would
imagine,
as
we
dip
our
toe
into
the
Waters
of
what
the
2024
ballots
will
look
like
we'd,
probably
come
back
to
the
full
Council,
but
as
as
issues
like
this
continue
to
be
reported
out
at
various
committees,
we
can
include
brief
updates,
as
well
as
where
we
are
in
the
process.
A
E
AM
Good
afternoon
Council
I'm
Matt
lesch,
acting
Public
Works
director
with
me,
is
Catherine
Brown,
our
acting
assistant
director
of
Public
Works.
We
have
many
of
our
partners
with
us
and
partner
departments
that
are
helping
us
along
the
way
with
measure
T
implementation.
So
they're
happy
to
answer
some
of
those
questions
as
well.
So
we'll
kick
in
through
here
our
agenda
for
this
briefing.
AM
As
they'll
come
up
with
the
brief,
the
slide
change
we'll
do
a
quick
overview
of
our
COC
in
the
program
itself
in
the
budget
Catherine's
going
to
take
us
through
Catherine's,
going
to
take
us
through
the
status
of
our
projects,
the
real
meat
of
our
presentation
today,
because
it's
here
for
a
project
update.
AX
And
good
afternoon,
so
this
first
slide
is
just
a
quick
overview
showing
the
total
budget
for
the
measure
T
bond,
which
is
650
million
dollars.
We
have
a
The
Five-Year
CIP.
We
have
a
plan
spending
of
about
418
million
with
218
planned
for
this
fiscal
year,
so
we've
had
two
bond
issuances
to
date
and
then
the
remainder
to
be
issued
is
about
202
million
dollars,
as
you
may
have
heard.
At
our
last
meeting,
we
have
some
vacancies
in
our
COC
I.
AX
Think
some
of
you
may
have
been
had
some
Outreach
from
our
COC
chair,
so
we
have
nine
filled
and
then
six
vacancies
foreign
and
then
this
slide
is
a
attachment.
A
within
our
memo.
Just
re
goes
over
what
the
original
dollar
amount
and
the
bond
project
list
was
in
all
of
the
original
Appropriations
and
what
the
revised
Appropriations
amount
amounts
are.
As
of
February
of
last
year,.
AX
On
to
our
pavement
and
bridges,
just
a
couple
of
pictures
to
show
you
before
and
afters
of
your
measure,
T
dollars
at
work
both
of
these
were
completed
last
year,
one
is
Bowling
Green
Drive
and
the
other
is
Fontaine
Road.
AX
Our
pavement
and
Street
repairs-
this
is
the
the
largest
funded
project
category
within
measure
T,
there's
300
million
dollars
dedicated
to
Pavement
Rehabilitation
of
our
local
streets,
with
a
planned
spending
of
37.5
million
over
the
next
five
years.
Since
2020,
our
DOT
Partners
have
been
able
to
resurface
294
miles
of
our
local
streets
with
134
completed
last
year,
that
is
inclusive
in
the
295
or
294
total
and
161
miles
are
planned
for
this
construction
season.
AX
The
original
number
that
we
had
planned
to
resurface
was
about
400
miles.
I
just
want
to
give
some
kudos
to
our
DOT
friends,
for
they
are
going
to
reach
this
goal
by
the
end
of
this
fiscal
year.
So
congratulations,
thank
you
for
all
your
hard
work.
AX
Bridge
repair
and
Rehabilitation
another
before
and
after
photo
to
show
you
some
measure
T
money
at
work.
This
is
the
story
Road
over
Highway
101.,
there's
20
million
dollars
allocated
to
the
rehabilitation
of
the
bridges
in
San
Jose
we've
completed
45
Bridge
maintenance
projects
and
are
continuing
to
accrue
these
Bridge
investment
credits
for
Grand
fund
Grant
funded
Bridge
products,
projects
pending
the
availability
of
Grants,
so
we
have
about
three
million
dollars:
accumulated
credits
to
be
accumulated
after
the
completion
of
the
fourth
project,
which
started
or
is
planning
to
start
in
May
of
this
year.
AX
Our
LED
conversion
program,
our
street
lighting,
so
we
have
a
total
inventory
of
about
65
000
lights,
street
lights
and
60
000,
just
over
sixty
thousand
have
been
converted
to
date
about
18
500
were
completed
through
a
PG
e
TurnKey
project
and
then
there's
roughly
5
000
that
are
left
to
be
completed
by
City
staff.
Hopefully
by
early
next
year,
the
controllers,
those
are
on
hold
the
procurement
of
those
is
on
hold
until
later
this
year,
pending
some
technical
research
and
grounding
analysis,
that's
going
to
be
completed
by
public
works
and
Dot.
AX
The
city
facility
lighting,
so
this
focused
on
Parks
Trails
community
centers
fire
stations,
all
of
our
city
facilities.
This
is
just
one
of
the
areas
that
we
improve
some
of
the
lighting
and
and
completed
our
project
at
the
arena.
Green,
the
river
Guadalupe
River
Trail
along
the
arena,
Green
Park.
As
of
right
now
we
have
done
just
over
seven
thousand
of
the
8800
lights
and
we
are
anticipating
starting
a
installation
of
our
controllers
on
those
lights.
This
spring.
AX
Our
clean
water,
green
infrastructure
and
storm
sewer
projects,
category
foreign-
we
have
two
clean
water
and
green
infrastructure
projects.
We
have
the
River
Oak
Regional
stormwater
capture
project
located
in
D4.
That
project
is
tentatively
moving
out
to
bid
later
this
month
or
early
next
month,
and
we're
anticipating
starting
construction
on
that
project.
Later
this
summer
we
also
have
the
cityland
south
of
Phelan
in
District
Seven
and
the
shark
cut
storm
drain
Improvement
project.
This
is
a
two-phase
project
that
will
be
a
new
storm
drain
system.
AX
AX
So
just
over
12
million
dollars
of
measure
T
funds
are
dedicated
to
retrofitting
the
existing
community
centers
listed
on
this
screen
so
that
they
meet
the
requirements
to
be
considered,
Mass
care
and
Sheltering
facilities
in
the
event
of
a
City
emergency.
The
priority
projects,
those
were
determined,
I,
believe
in
2021
by
the
council
project
number
one
priority:
One
Roosevelt,
Mayfair,
Bascom
and
Seven
Trees.
AX
AX
I
just
want
to
highlight
one
of
our
public
art
projects
that
was
funded
through
measure
T.
This
is
the
the
Kayla
Salazar
Memorial
mural
by
artist
Jessica
savagal
she's,
a
local
Bay,
Area
artist.
This
project
was
created
in
to
memorialize
Kayla,
who
was
a
victim
of
the
mass
shooting
of
the
Gilroy
Garlic
Festival.
She
was
a
Mayfair
neighborhood
teen.
This
is
at
our
Mayfair
Community
Center,
and
it's
located
next
to
the
children's
play
area.
This
community
center
is
one
that's
going
to
be
upgraded
through
our
measure.
T
funds
as
well.
AX
AX
Some
of
our
fire
department
facilities,
so
we
have
three
new
fire
stations
or
relocated
fire
stations
that
we
have
already
identified:
a
property
for
Station
8
station
32
and
station
36..
We
are
still
searching
for
property
for
fire
station
23,
that's
a
relocated
project
or
a
relocation
project.
We've
been
working
on
that
for
probably
the
last
two
years.
It's
been
pretty
difficult
to
find
a
location
and
a
willing
seller
within
the
that
meets
the
fire
response.
Time
needs,
but
we
are
not
giving
up
on
that
one.
AX
So
I
also
just
want
to
highlight
the
project
schedules
for
our
fire
facilities.
I
know
generally,
red
is
bad,
but
red
also
means
firefighters
to
us.
So
don't
think
this
is
bad.
Just
touching
on
you
know.
We
completed
fire
station
37
fire
station
32
that
one
we
have
a
tentative
award
in
May
of
this
year
that
one
is
actually
going
to
go
out
for
advertisement
tomorrow.
AX
That
will
be
our
next
fire
station.
We
have
fire
station
eight
that
we
are
anticipating
a
tentative
award
in
August
and
then
fire
station
36
tentative
award
in
September
of
the
following
year.
AX
On
to
our
Police
Department
facilities,
so
the
police,
training
and
Academy
located
at
300
Enzo
Drive
in
District
2.
that
one
we
are
planning
for
a
tentative
award,
this
Summer
that
one
should
be
coming
out
to
bid
within
the
next
couple
of
months
the
police,
air
support
unit
Hangar,
that's
relocating
the
current
Hangar
from
the
west
side
of
the
airport
to
the
Coleman
side.
AX
This
will
be
located
next
to
the
ARF
facility,
creating
like
a
new
campus
that
project
we're
anticipating
award
also
this
summer
with
a
beneficial
use
of
early
2025
and
then
the
911
call
center.
So
this
is
expanding
the
existing
facility
into
the
existing
Emergency
Operations
Center.
That
one
is
also
currently
in
design
that
one
will
need
to
start.
We
have
to
wait
until
EOC
moves
out,
but
we
will
anticipate
starting
that
one
in
November
of
this
year.
AX
AX
AX
Just
to
highlight
another
public
art
component:
this
is
resilient
City
by
Johanna
pothig
she's,
a
Bay
Area
artist,
with
more
than
40
years
of
experience
in
public
art.
So
this
is
an
installation
of
cut
metal
and
extends
more
than
two
stories
in
the
front
facade
of
the
three-story
Tower.
This
it's
a
narrative
showing
the
idea
of
a
chaotic
sense
of
emergency
and
emergency
response
in
the
lower
portion
of
the
artwork
and
then,
as
you,
move
upwards
into
a
radiant
City
suggesting
resilience.
AM
Before
we
dig
into
our
layout
of
the
the
problem
set
in
question
before
us
on
some
of
the
funding
issues
just
to
pause
and
express
real
gratitude
to
our
partners
in
all
of
the
Departments,
all
of
our
operational
staff
that
are
advising
us
what
works
and
what
doesn't
work,
our
inspectors,
our
field,
Engineers,
all
the
folks
that
are
helping
build
this,
the
community
for
trusting
us
with
the
funds
to
make
this
happen
and
really
our
contractual
teams
to
help
make
all
these
things
go.
AM
We
have
three
slides
here
on
some
fundings,
they're
all
laid
out
in
the
memo.
This
is
from
table
one
kind
of
laying
out
worse
that
we
believe
there
are
some
funding
opportunities
for
availability
for
use
in
our
public
safety
program,
because
that's
the
area
today,
where
we're
focusing
on
our
request
or
our
recommendation,
I
should
say
so.
AM
We've
identified
some
savings
from
the
reserves
we'd
identified
before
about
5
million,
identifying
the
remaining
funds
of
the
environmental
and
flood
protection,
as
3.2
million,
and
for
a
memo
before
of
June
2018
about
8.3
million
and
some
Bond
proceeds
that
have
yet
to
be
used
or
to
be
used.
As
seven
million
so
a
total
of
15
million
dollars,
some
projects
that
have
some
Public
Safety
projects
that
have
needs
so
they're
listening
through
I'm,
not
going
to
read
all
through
them
in
the
table.
AM
It's
also
in
the
memo
detailing
why
and
what
things
are
added
in
each
area.
The
definitive
funding
shortfall
in
the
public
safety
program
for
these
projects
is
about
23
million
dollars
to
meet
all
of
the
operational
needs,
as
defined
by
the
operating
departments
and
pulled
out
from
areas
and
the
reason
for
higher
than
original
estimates
are
things
like
escalation
and
inflation
have
come
through
and
the
clarity
and
of
the
project
scope.
AM
This
is
all
detailed
here
in
table
two
of
the
memo
so,
and
what
we
note
here
is
the
the
total
funding
need
is
about
23
million,
pulling
that
fifteen
three
million
dollars
from
the
prior
slide
of
potential
availability.
We
still
have
a
bit
of
a
shortfall
of
seven
million
900
000
about
8
million.
AM
AM
We
have
about
five
of
our
seven
Public
Safety
projects
going
out
to
Bid
And
if
you
should
have
Awards
in
the
next
six
months.
So
a
lot
more
clarity,
if
our
recent
estimates
and
our
review
is
done
correctly
so
for
ultimate
Clarity,
our
recommendation
is
to
accept
the
status
report
of
all
the
great
work
that
our
staff
and
teams
have
done
with
our
community
for
our
community
and
then
approve
our
recommendations,
a
b
and
c
listed
below
and
we're
available
for
all
your
questions.
Thank
you.

AB
Dear
mayor
and
city
council,
my
name
is
Juan
Estrada
staff
at
Green
Foothills.
We
submitted
a
comment
letter
co-signed
by
14
organizations
that
serve
many
different
communities.
We
urge
you
to
support
the
memo
from
Council,
Members,
Candelas
and
Ortiz,
and
maintain
the
city's
commitment
to
improving
water
quality
through
measure
T
funding,
specifically
to
act
in
the
near
future
to
address
the
Lake
Cunningham
Public,
Safety
health
and
environmental
crisis
that
has
not
been
addressed
for
decades.
This
is
not
to
say
that
other
projects
aren't
worthy
of
funding.
AB
However,
it's
critical
that
funds
needed
to
begin
taking
steps
to
address
the
Lake
Cunningham
crisis
are
left
alone.
I
described
the
heartbreaking
situation
at
Lake
Cunningham
earlier
I,
won't
repeat
it
now.
One
concern
cited
is
that
3.2
million
isn't
a
magic
wand,
it
won't
fix
the
problem
completely
and
a
solution
will
take
time,
maybe
it's
better
to
put
it
off
again
and
use
water
quality
funds
for
another
purpose.
Imagine
if
that
was
our
approach
with
other
issues:
Equity
climate
resilience,
climate
change,
housing
and
homelessness,
Community
safety,
clean
neighborhoods,
economic
vibrancy
planning
and
permitting
Etc.
AB
Imagine
if
we
said
taking
a
step
now
isn't
a
magic
wand,
so
maybe
we
should
just
put
it
off
now.
Imagine
we're
talking
about
a
public
safety
Health
in
an
environmental
crisis
that
hasn't
been
addressed
for
decades.
Wait
no
need
to
imagine
this
choice
is
yours
to
make
today
there's
also
the
trust
Factor
shifting
these
funds
might
lead
constituents
to
question
whether
they
have
faith
in
ballot
measures
for
barks
parks
and
other
environmental
purposes.
It
doesn't
seem
prudent
to
send
that
message
to
voters
in
advance
of
the
2024
election.
AB
We
know
it'd
be
easier
to
not
take
a
step
towards
addressing
the
late
coming
crisis.
We
instead
urge
the
council
not
to
walk
back
the
commitment
made
in
June
2021
for
the
use
of
the
3.2
million
in
funding
for
water
quality
improvement.
The
city
needs
to
act
on
this
contamination
crisis
sooner
not
later.
Thank
you.
W
Good
afternoon
city
council,
my
name
is
Jose
abastida
and
I
am
a
resident
of
East,
San
Jose
and
a
proud
Union
Union
staff
with
SEIU
SEIU
has
thousands
of
members
that
live
around
the
lake
Cunningham
area
and
they
deserve
as
Equitable
and
also
space
for
them
to
have
the
Leisure
for
our
environmental
communities.
W
AY
My
name
is
Patrick
McGarrity
and
I'm,
calling
on
behalf
of
supervisor
Sylvia
Arenas,
who
represented
Council,
District
8
and
currently
represents
Santa
Clara,
County,
supervised,
Oriole
district,
one,
both
districts
that
Encompass
our
communities
beloved
Lake
Cunningham.
First,
the
supervisor
would
like
to
thank
the
council
and
the
administration
for
their
continued
work
on
this
important
issue,
as
demonstrated
by
the
previous
unanimously
adopted
item
on
your
agenda.
When
supervisor
Uranus
was
elected
to
the
city
council
in
2016,
she
made
revitalizing
Lake
Cunningham
the
top
priority.
AY
The
fact
that
this
critical
neighborhood
lake
has
gone
decades
without
needed
funding
is
an
equity
and
environmental
justice
issue.
Children
and
families
on
the
east
side
of
San
Jose
have
gone
much
too
long
without
Lake
Cunningham,
while
wealthier
parts
of
the
city
like
Almaden,
have
had
neighborhood
lakes
not
only
invested
in
but
prioritized
for
public
investment.
AY
This
is
why
she
authored
multiple
memos
to
save
funding
for
Lake
Cunningham
and
also
the
remaining
Public
Safety
projects.
Most
critically,
she
successfully
led
the
effort
last
summer
to
establish
a
reserve
for
measure
T
fire
station
projects
and
move
funds
into
that
Reserve
based
on
her
Memo,
the
council
dedicated
3.8
million
dollars
for
fire
station
overruns
last
fall
specifically
in
response
to
this
need
not
recognized
in
stats
report.
Today.
AY
We
urge
the
council
to
reaffirm
their
commitment
to
the
voters,
Embrace
systemic
change
and
finally,
and
fully
allocate
the
remaining
3.2
million
toward
Lake
Cunningham
for
our
most
UN
under.
AZ
Hi
I
live
in
district
7
for
the
Evergreen
Hills
I.
Just
first
want
to
say
that
I'm
here
to
support
this
memo
by
councilmember,
Ortiz
and
Candelas.
We
use
this
park
on
a
regular
basis.
I
would
say
a
lot
of
residents
from
bien
duan's,
District,
we'd
love
to
come
here
and
walk
I.
Don't
understand
your
last
minute
memo
not
to
support
something
that
will
help
the
community.
It
will
not
only
create
opportunities
for
our
children
to
be
able
to
canoe
in
this
Lake.
Why
can
only
Alberta
lake
or
Arjun
is
arguing?
AZ
He
has
water,
that's
clear
and
clean
and
it's
able
to
be
used.
Why
is
he
arguing
that
we
can't
have
that?
Is
there
any
equity
in
this
Council
area?
I
feel
like
this
is
like
the
good
old
boys
club,
and
you
know
it's
only.
We
can
have
it,
but
you
can't
I
would
carry
that
I
want
to
see
nice,
beautiful
things
and
each
side.
We
should
be
able
to
have
these
things.
I.
Don't
understand
why
a
lot
of
these
council
members
argue
and
compare
this
to
a
fish
tank.
That's
not
okay!
AZ
This
is
whatever
that
our
kids
can
learn
to
exercise.
Obesity
is
a
big
issue
in
the
east
side,
because
we
don't
have
opportunities
like
these.
Please
think
you're
all
going
to
get
reelected
and
I
would
I
would
like
to
keep
supporting
you.
But
if
I
keep
hearing
things
like
this
I,
don't
think
that
I'll
support
and
I'll
make
sure
that
I
tell
everyone
that
council
member
bien
is
against
having
clean
water.
BA
Hi
there
this
is
Tamara
fantas
in
I,
am
from
District
Five
I
have
worked
in
affordable
housing.
I
have
followed
different
areas
of
problems
within
the
water
system,
Lake
Cunningham
issues
with
police
departments,
not
enough
response
times,
I
fully
support
the
fact
that
you
know
we
need
better
streets.
We
need
all
this
other
things.
However,
the
problem
at
Lake
Cunningham
has
been
ongoing.
I'm,
not
proud
to
say
that
I
did
weekend
work
program,
but
that
is
exactly
how
I
learned
about
all
the
issues
that
were
going
on
at
Lake
Cunningham.
BA
You
can't
fish
over
there
imagine
the
amount
of
people
that
would
have
been
able
to
supply
themselves
with
food
during
a
pandemic.
Imagine
the
different
places
that
we
could
have
provided
to
housing
before
before
the
new
mayor
came
in
place
to
to
that
started.
Building
these
things
right
now
we
didn't
have
that
in
the
issues
at
Lake.
Cunningham
have
been
happening
for
a
very
long
time.
I
know
that
Juan,
you
know,
and
we
have
the
airport
next
with
the
fuel
with
everything.
BB
BB
BB
I
applaud
council
person
batra
for
his
extensive
documentation.
That
makes
it
clear
what
the
intent
of
measure
T
was
and
if
anybody
should
be
considered
an
expert
in
this
area.
It
is
him
because
of
his
previous
being
a
chair
of
of
the
committee
overseeing
this
no
bait
and
switch
guys.
You
have
to
let
when,
when
the
voters
vote
for
something
we
need
to
know
that
you're
going
to
carry
out
what
you
said
you
were
going
to
do.
BB
Z
For
a
big
man,
I've
been
around
the
lake
Cunningham
issues
at
Council
meetings
in
the
past,
and
you
know
it's
stated
that
the
water
quality
is
really
really
bad
and
the
fish
were
dying
and
no
matter
what
work
you
could
do
on
the
lake,
it's
just
going
to
take
time
to
get
the
water
quality
back
and
for
me,
if
there's,
if
the
memos
State-
and
you
know
that
there
can
be
a
slow,
steady
progression
of
working
on
the
lake
issues
and
that
we
can't
have
quick
fixes.
Z
But
if
we
you
know
slowly
or
you
know,
making
the
effort,
maybe
that's
what
these
memos
need
to
say,
and
it's
kind
of
too
for
all
sides
to
better
understand
the
issue.
What's
the
stake
here
and
how
to
work
towards
the
issue
that
can
you
can
continue
to
work
on
this
issue?
Maybe
it
isn't
3.4
million,
maybe
it's
1.8
million.
Maybe
it's
2.1
million
things
like
that
for
for
this
issue.
It
needs
a
steady,
continuous
effort.
It
sounds
like
so
good
luck
how
to
do
that.
I
wanted
to
comment
overall.
Z
You
know.
I
mentioned
the
measure.
T
committee
commissions
a
few
times
over.
The
past
few
months
now,
with
a
new
council
person
from
the
committee
I
thought
it's
been
kind
of
an
interesting
committee,
a
commission.
They
do
interesting
work
and
if
you
notice
there
were
three
or
four
items:
Road
payment,
LED
lights
and
Public
Safety.
Z

Yeah

I'm
calling

support
this
memo.

Good
afternoon,
mayor
and
Council,
this
is
Jeremy
Bruce
and
I'm.
School
Board
Tristy
for
Evergreen
school
district
and
proud
resident
of
District
8.
I
am
calling
to
urge
the
council
to
accept
the
memo
authored
by
council
members,
Candelas
and
Ortiz,
specifically
to
allocate
the
remaining
Environmental
Protection
fund
to
Lake
Cunningham
to
start
mitigating
water
contamination.
BC
While
we
can
all
agree
that
Lake
Cunningham
is
a
long-term
project,
the
money
allocated
for
measure
T's,
Environmental
Protection
fund
would
be
a
huge
first
step
in
the
pathway
of
improving
the
quality
of
water.
Let's
make
good
on
the
commitment
made
by
the
council
back
in
2021.
Let's
take
a
bold
step
to
invest
in
our
community
by
allocating
the
remaining
funds
to
Lake
Cunningham.
An
investment
in
the
park
is
an
investment
in
our
San
Jose
families.
Thank
you.
BD
Can
you
hear
me?
Okay,
yes,
I
would
just
like
to
make
sure
I
mean
both
sides
are
correct
and
I
really
appreciate
all
the
effort
put
out.
But
if
giving
this
money
for
Lake
Cunningham
goes
against
what
the
voters
authorized,
then
it
should
not
be
done
if
there's
a
and
I
haven't
read
all
the
memos,
so
I'm,
sorry
I,
just
reiterate:
we.
We
need
to
keep
voter
trust
because,
to
be
honest
with
you,
a
lot
of
us
don't
have
any
trust
anymore.
BD
It
seems
like
our
money
is
spent
and
I
know,
that's
not
factually
true,
but
you
know
presumption
and
View,
and
you
know
all
that
you
got,
ladies
and
gentlemen
have
been
in
here
longer
than
I
have
basically
because
I
just
want
people
to
do
right
by
what
the
voters
said
and
that
should
be
the
it
shouldn't
even
be
a
park.
It
should
be
the
part
that
just
you
know
that
guides
anyways
for
that.
Thank
you
very
much.

3.2
million

at

The

was
a
key
supporter

promoter
of
measure
T.
We
conveyed
for
the
measure
because
it
included
the
environmental
and
flood
protection
projects
funding
category,
as
you
discussed
earlier,
a
project
that
builds
constructed
Wetlands
to
ameliorate
water
quality
at
Lake
Cunningham
will
serve
both
nature
and
the

This
is
a
critically
important
project

may,
in

require
matching
funds
for

appreciate
all
the

to

empathy
is
just
the
beginning.

need
to
follow.

is
action,
not
more

not
more.

We
need
these
other
things.
This
issue
has
been
deferred
for
over
30
years
and
we
need
to
deal
with
it,
and
this
would
be
a
beginning
by
adapting
the
memo
that
Ortiz
and
gandella
are
proposing.
BG
I
appreciate
you,
your
support
for
their
for
their
memo.
Thank
you.
BH
Thank
you
very
much.
This
is
Janet
Holt
and
I
am
a
board
member
of
both
the
district
8
Roundtable
and
the
Evergreen
leadership.
Neighborhood
association
I
would
like
to
support
the
memo
from
condellas
and
council
member
Ortiz
I
think
that
well,
first
of
all,
we
know
we
know
that
we
need
police
and
safety
here.
So
that's
that's
a
given
being
a
neighborhood
association
leader
and
neighborhood
watch
Person.
BH
The
police
are
very
important
to
us
in
safety,
but
the
lake
is
too
so.
We've
been
I've,
been
here
for
30
years
in
a
resident
of
San
Jose
for
almost
twice
twice
that
I
remember
when
my
husband's
Ohana
was
practicing
and
set
up
the
Outrigger
group
on
the
lake.
It
was
a
wonderful
thing.
It
promoted
their
culture
and
I
was
very
proud
to
see
that
the
last
few
recent
years
everything
has
gone
downhill
and
it's
really
a
tragedy.
BH
BI
Can
you
hear
me
yes,
hi
good
afternoon
my
name
is
Victoria
partida
I
am
a
resident
of
Eastside
San
Jose
I
live
in
District,
Seven
and
I'm,
calling
a
support
for
the
member
of
council
member
Candelas
and
Ortiz.
Like
I
mentioned,
I
lived
in
District,
Seven,
I'm,
very
close
to
Lake
Cunningham
and
my
district,
my
community.
We
do
not
have
access
to
any
open
spaces
currently
and
my
family
and
I
walk
or
drive
to
Cunningham
Park.
BI
We
need
to
start
to
mitigate
the
neglect
that
has
happened
over
the
years
and
we
need
to
start
investing
in
our
East
type
communities.
Thank
you.
BJ
Thank
you,
mayor,
Manu
and
council
members
for
the
opportunity
to
speak
today.
I
also
want
to
thank
the
council
for
their
creativity
and
brainstorming
and
ultimate
collaboration
several
years
ago,
when
the
council
unanimously
decided
to
allocate
the
3.2
million
dollars
for
Lake
Cunningham
under
the
Environmental
Protection
Fund
in
measure.
T
I
would
also
like
to
urge
you
to
support
the
memo
by
council
members,
candalas
and
Ortiz.
Today.
It's
a
very
important
process
of
that
collaboration
that
the
council
began
several
years
ago
and
it
would
be
wise
to
stay
in
the
course.
BJ
Your
consideration
of
measure
T
today
really
takes
place
in
a
larger
context
and
I.
Think
as
you
evaluate
the
proposal,
but
from
Ken
Dallas
and
Ortiz
today,
I'd
like
you
to
think
about
a
couple
of
things.
BJ
The
members
on
the
citizens
advisory
committee
that
were
absent
were
the
representatives
for
District,
5
and
District.
8.
I
think
that
there
wasn't
the
opportunity
to
have
the
kind
of
discussion
you
would
have
had
if
you
had
had
broad
diverse
representation.
BJ
Also
I've
been
reflecting
upon
the
difference
in
terms
of
it
seems
to
be
the
standard
that
you're
holding
changes
and
different
decision
making
within
measure
T
to
measure
E.
When
the
council,
in
its
wisdom,
decided
with
measure
e
to
allocate
funds
to
the
emergency
interim
housing
program
which
wasn't
explicitly
outlined
in
The
Proposal,
it
seems
like
it
was
an
easier
standard.
BJ
It
seems
like
a
very
tough
standard
on
this
and
I
think
that
that's
something
for
you
to
consider
the
3.2
million
dollars
is
a
down
payment
and
I.
Don't
think
that
it's
very
plausible
that
you
would
have
credibility
as
you
seek
funding
partners
with
the
county,
state
and
federal
government.
If
you
don't
stay
the
course
without
down
payment,
credibility
is
important.
BJ
AV
Thank
you,
mayor
I,
want
to
start
off
by
by
thanking,
of
course,
the
staff
for
for
the
really
robust
presentation
and
the
thought
on
this
report.
In
2018,
the
voters
approved
measure
T
and
I
quote:
preventing
flood
flooding
and
water
quality
contamination.
End
quote
was
one
of
the
five
statements
printed
on
the
ballot,
which
was
over
overwhelmingly
approved
by
the
voters
here
in
San
Jose
by
over
70
percent.
There's
an
environmental
disaster
at
Lake
Cunningham,
which
we
already
know
and
resolving
water
quality,
is
an
absolute
necessity
for
this
Regional
work.
AV
With
the
remaining
measured
T
funds,
we
have
an
opportunity
to
start
rehabilitating
this
critical
neighborhood
Lake
that
can
transform
our
community.
We
owe
it
to
our
families,
the
voters
and
future
generations
to
take
advantage
of
this
opportunity.
Voters
willingly
pass
this
measure
and
it
is
our
duty
to
fulfill
This
Promise.
AV
Some
some
will
argue
that
we
are
over
budget
on
other
Public
Safety
projects.
It's
not
staff's
fault.
This
is
the
fault
of
the
council
for
oversubscribing,
with
projects
coupled
with
Rising
costs,
supply
chain
issues,
the
covid-19
pandemic
and
unforeseen
problems.
However,
however,
when
this
measure
passed,
we
as
a
council
approve
what
categories
we
should
invest
in
based
on
our
ballot
language
and
because
of
this
shortfall,
we
should
not
shift
money
away
from
the
original
intent.
We
committed
to
investing
50
million
dollars
of
the
over
600
million
dollars
for
environmental
projects.
AV
The
water
control,
the
water
contamination
issue
at
Lake
Cunningham
fits
that
scope.
We
need
to
fulfill
our
commitment
to
Environmental
water
quality
projects,
as
we
promise
to
voters
simply
Shifting.
The
environmental
funds
to
leave
in
the
bank
is
not
an
action
in
good
faith
of
the
voters
or
taxpayers.
AV
In
fact,
I'll
remind
my
Council
colleagues
that
we
use
measure
team
money
to
build
fire
station
37,
which
was
the
last
project
in
measure
o
passed
by
voters
in
2002..
This
is
a
history
of
repeating
itself
now
with
fire
station
23.
It
is
the
last
project
and
there
aren't
enough
funds
to
build
this
station.
Even
if
we
do
move
the
remaining
environmental
funds,
we
have
an
opportunity
to
invest
in
a
much
neglected,
ignored
and
historically
disenfranchised
area
in
our
city,
the
3.2
million
allocation
could
fund
several
different
projects.
AV
To
start
the
process
of
enhancing
water
quality
and
user
experience,
some
of
my
colleagues
will
argue
that
the
remaining
funds,
including
from
the
Environmental
Protection
Program,
will
protect
against
shortfalls
on
the
currently
approved
projects.
However,
even
if
we
pass
on
the
opportunity
to
improve
water
quality
at
the
lake,
we
still
do
not
have
enough
funding
in
measure
T
to
cover
the
full
public
safety
program.
Shortfall
staff
mentions
grants
as
a
widely
more
available
for
projects
that
are
environmentally
focused
or
a
clean
water
that
that
that
that
are
than
those
of
Public
Safety
projects.
AV
However,
we
still
need
the
local
match
money
we
need.
We
still
need
to
dedicate
money
to
Lake
Cunningham,
to
show
federal,
state
and
Regional
partners
that
we
are
committed
to
this
Lake
and
the
important
and,
more
importantly,
to
the
to
the
residents
of
East
San
Jose.
The
current
conditions
at
the
park
are
unacceptable.
AV
Some
of
my
colleagues
will
ask
why
we
should
fund
this
project
and
we'll
rationalize
not
invest
in
this
opportunity.
However,
not
acting
now
will
only
increase
our
costs
to
not
to
do
anything
at
this
park
in
the
future.
I
would
argue
that
this
is
a
cost-saving
action.
This
is
one
of
the
most
disadvantaged
communities
in
San
Jose,
and
if
our
Equity
conversation
is
more
than
talk,
this
is
the
opportunity
to
show
it.
AV
We've
gotten
support
from
leaders
at
every
level
we
have
hundreds
of
community
members
that
have
sent
emails
called
and
have
spoke,
and
key
stakeholder
key
stakeholder
groups
like
green
Foothills
are
here
in
support.
I'll
just
end
with
this.
If
we
want
to
Spur
any
private
investment
in
this
park,
this
is
a
down
payment
on
the
future
of
East,
San
Jose
and
more
broadly,
our
city
and
and
with
that
I
I'll
move
councilmember
Ortiz
a
nice
memorandum
on
this
item.
Second,.
H
Thank
you,
mayor
I
also
want
to
thank
staff
for
your
presentation
really
appreciate
your
perspective,
even
though
you
know
I
do
oppose
a
portion
of
it.
That's
what
democracy
is
for
so
I
appreciate
the
info
that
you
presented
before
us.
I
want
to
start
my
comments
by
expressing
my
gratitude
for
those
who
called
into
the
session
sent
letters
of
support,
I,
believe
over
300
letters
or
emails
were
sent
or
Brave
the
storm
to
be
here
with
us
today.
H
It
goes
to
show
that
Lake
Cunningham
means
a
lot
to
our
families
and
how
much
we
are
willing
to
fight
for
what
is
just
here
in
the
city
of
San
Jose,
because
many
of
East
San
Jose
residents,
because
for
many
East
San
Jose
residents,
Lake
Cunningham,
is
more
than
just
a
a
park.
It's
where
their
sons
and
daughters
celebrated
their
first
birthdays
or
baby
showers.
It's
where
folks
decades
ago,
learned
that
they
loved
fishing
or
boating
we're
east
side.
H
These
Health
complications
are
costly
and
have
have
have
had
potential
to
Halt
the
socio-economic
mobility
of
our
East
San
Jose
residents.
H
It's
in
this
understanding
that
we
should
see
Lake,
Cunningham
Park
as
being
uniquely
positioned
to
serve
as
a
tool
for
achieving
Environmental,
Health
and
Social
Equity
goals
here
within
the
city,
because
we
know
that
Parks
encourage
active,
Lifestyles
and
reduce
Health
costs.
Parks
strengthen
local
communities
and
economies,
Parks
make
cities
more
environmentally
resilient.
They
increase
Community
engagement,
reduce
crime
and
help
sequester
carbon
and
tackle
the
urban
heat
island
effect,
which
disproportionately
affects
the
East
Valley.
H
What
I
hope
to
get
across
in
an
understanding
that
East
Side
parks
are
essential
and
that
our
East
Side
Community
is
essential,
and
we
have
a
great
opportunity
here
today
to
improve
the
socio-economical
conditions
of
our
community.
By
not
doing
so,
we
are
perpetuating
generational
outcomes
that
lead
to
medical
debt.
We
are,
we
are.
We
are
essentially
upholding
cycles
of
inequity.
H
The
moment
for
investment
in
Lake
Cunningham
is
now
as
we
and
especially
our
residents,
look
forward
to
the
closure
of
the
Reed
Hillview
airport,
the
development
of
Pleasant
Hills,
Golf
Course
and
the
potential
of
Eastridge
Mall.
We
need
to
focus
on
Lake
Cunningham
as
a
unifying
factor
and
understand
the
major
role
that
imminent
investments
will
play
here
in
the
city
and
like
likewise,
we
are
just
presented
a
project
to
complete,
let's
be
efficient
in
Saving
staff
time
and
begin
working
on
Lake
Cunningham
Park.
P
P
P
Evaluation
done
what
it
needs
to
be
done
over
the
long
term,
but
what
I'm
really
embarrassed
and
actually
finding
surprising
that
we
are
taking
two
very
worthy
projects
and
trying
to
pit
them
against
each
other.
Trying
to
make
us
look
like
that,
we
are
trying
to
choose
recreational
lucky
Cunningham
or
probably
the
Safety
project
which
brings
the
medical
services.
P
Paramedics
to
your
people,
when
your
mother
or
your
father
or
your
sister
or
brother,
is
lying
on
the
floor
to
be
service
because
they
had
a
heart
attack
and
they
need
the
medical
services
and
the
EMS
to
come
within
the
four
minutes
or
eight
minutes.
Whatever
service
level
is
I
think
it
is
a
useless
time
to
be
spending
on
this
dice
to
be
trying
to
compare
whether
Lake
Cunningham
doesn't
need
to
be
done
or
does
the
Safety
project
need
to
be
done?
P
P
When
you
approved
the
consul
approved
what
measure
T
is
going
to
fund
three
years,
my
team
and
myself,
we
learned
work
diligently
with
the
DPW
who
gave
us
all
the
reports
which
we
combed
through
looking
at
the
audited
reports.
Looking
at
the
progress
report,
looking
at
the
original
numbers
of
2018,
what
money
was
allocated
where
the
money
is
going?
We
looked
for
each
penny
and
they
helped
us
understand
it,
and
we
were
able
to
report
to
you
in
our
annual
report
that
what
great
work
the
DPW
was
doing.
P
P
P
I
commend
the
work
staff
has
done
in
bringing
in
a
nutshell
the
story
of
where
we
are
what
we
have
been
able
to
accomplish,
where
we
have
the
shortfall
to
be
able
to
deliver
on
the
public
safety
projects
which
we
committed
to
doing.
You
see
here
that
we
have
the
risk
the
two
key
messages
which
have
come
out
of
this
report.
P
We
have
a
key
risk
of
not
being
able
to
deliver
the
public
safety
projects
which
were
committed
in
2018.
In
our
reason
for
going
for
measure
t
and
we
may
not
be
able
to
deliver
the
services
which
we
promise
to
our
community,
that
we
will
be
there
with
the
medical
services
when
you
need
or
the
fire
Services.
When
your
house
is
burning
down,
you
may
be
enjoying
the
lake,
but
your
house
may
be
burning
down
and
we
may
not
be
able
to
get
there.
P
If
we
do
not
do
these
projects,
we
haven't
been
able
to
find
in
three
years
the
property
we
need
for
the
23
fire
station,
which
we
need
to
build.
The
question
we
should
be
spending
our
time
on
is:
how
are
we
going
to
fund
the
rest
of
the
money
needed
to
get
these
safety
projects
done?
Public
Safety
projects
done
and
how
quickly
are
we
going
to
find
the
property
which
we
need
for
the
23
fire
station
not
be
trying
to
compare
whether
Lake
Cunningham
is
worthy
of
being
done
or
not?
P
That
is
not
an
issue
for
the
measure
T
in
three
years,
when
I
spent
on
the
COC,
as
the
community
oversight
committee
trying
to
watch
for
your
dollars
where
those
dollars
are
going
from
your
tax
dollars,
we
worked
hard
to
ensure
that
those
dollars
were
going
towards
your
projects,
which
were
listed
on
the
pages
on
2018..
There
is
a
comparison
ring
made.
Lake
Cunningham
didn't
make
it
on
the
original
project
list.
Maybe
it
made
it
on
the
later
in
May,
2018
2022.
P
Mayor
Sam,
licardo
and
council
member
Dev
Davis
wrote
a
detailed
memo
describing
what
projects
qualified
and
what
projects
did
not
qualify
under
measure
T.
They
went
through
the
gate
length
of
writing
that
to
make
sure
that
the
money
was
going
to
the
right
place,
and
even
at
that
time
there
was
a
question
about:
can
Lake
Cunningham
get
the
money
for
it
from
The
Phantom
savings
which
had
been
accomplished
in
the
environment
project
where
the
the
coyote
area
we
were
able
to
buy
the
property
for
3.10,
2
million
dollars
less?
P
That
saving
is
supposed
to
be
allocated
to
the
right
place
and
that
memo
clearly
documented.
Even
though
Lake
Cunningham
may
be
a
worthy
project.
But
it
is
not
a
project
which
is
like
restoring
so
I
will
read
to
you.
The
Lake
Cunningham
should
be
restored
to
support
recreational
use,
support
our
un
underserved
communities
and
increase
access
to
Green
resources
for
East
Side
families,
but
that's
not
what
we
told
the
voters
they
would
be
paying
for
when
they
approved
measure
T.
P
Preventing
contamination
of
a
critical
source
of
drinking
water
in
an
underground
aquifier
is
not
the
same
as
restoring
the
recreational
use
of
a
lake.
So
let's
understand
clearly
that
measure
T
is
meant
for
disaster
preparedness
and
Public
Safety
and
those
things
were
very
clearly
articulated.
They
haven't
wavered
from
the
people
who
supported
measure,
T,
Sam,
licardo
measure,
Mayor,
Sam,
licardo
and
Dave
Davis,
who
were
here
to
get
that
measure
approved.
They
know
definitely
what
was
included
and
what
was
not
included.
So,
let's
not
try
to
pit
the
council
against
one
project
against
another.
P
T
All
right,
thank
you.
First
of
all,
I
want
to
thank
staff
for
the
report
both
on
the
last
item
and
on
this
item,
which
obviously
fit
together
and
I
want
to
thank
all
the
members
of
the
public
who
reminded
us
of
the
importance
of
Lake,
Cunningham
I
know
you
know
my
family
as
many
families
have
enjoyed
that
Park
and
would
like
it
to
be.
T
You
know
more
usable
in
the
future.
Let
me
ask
you
a
question
about
now:
fire
station
funding
I
talked
about
this
last
week.
Obviously,
fire
station
23,
which
is
last
on
the
list,
is
in
my
district.
It's
the
fire
station
that
serves
the
fastest
growing
part
of
the
city
and
it's
still
operating
out
of
a
very
small
home
on
the
on
a
street
corner
that
isn't
adequate
for
the
for
the
area
it
covers.
T
I
just
want
to
make
sure
I
understand
the
numbers
in
the
memo
that
talk
about
the
shortfall.
I
think
what
I'm
seeing
is.
T
T
AE
K
AE
T
T
T
Right:
okay,
yeah!
That's
what
I
kind
of
figured
I
know
that
there's
been
a
big
push
on
environmental
restoration
and
environmental
infrastructure
funding.
So
you
can
imagine
my
concern,
which
is
that
you
know
we.
We
would
hope
to
be
able
to
fund
station
23,
but
if
we
start
to
pull
money
more
and
more
money
away,
our
shortfall
is
bigger
and
less
likely
to
be
funded
and
I
am
hopeful
that
we
can
achieve
some
of
the
things
that
we
try
to
achieve
when
we
passed
a
memo
a
year
ago.
T
So
the
memo
we
that
that
was
attached
to
the
latest
Memo
from
councilmember
batra
had
an
item.
I
know
that
items
one
three
and
four
in
that
memo
were
approved
last
year,
but
not
item
two
item:
three
directed
the
igr
team
to
identify
and
actively
pursue
state
and
federal
funding.
Does
anyone
know
what
may
have
been
done
so
far
in
that
regard?
AF
Sure
I
can
handle
that
council
member
starting
on
a
federal
level,
one
of
the
things
that
the
igr
team
did,
as
we
were,
helping
onboard
Congressman
Panetta
into
his
new
District
when
we
met
with
him
and
his
team
in
November
prns
staff,
as
well
as
IDR
staff,
started
to
lay
out
the
problems
at
Lake
Cunningham
and
the
knees
would
be
there.
We
are
right
now
also
going
through
the
the
federal
and
state
earmark
process
through
the
budget,
we're
somewhat
hopeful
that
there
may
be
opportunities
in
the
state
budget
process.
AF
Although
there's
there's
some
limited
funding
there.
But
with
the
current
makeup
of
the
house,
we
have
a
pretty
strong
opposition
to
earmarks
in
California,
let
alone
ones
of
an
environmental
nature.
AF
So
those
will
be
uphill
battles.
Igr
is
working
with
prns
on
Department
of
Parks
and
Recreation
waterways,
erosion,
outdoor
recreation
grants
as
well
as
National,
Park,
Service,
Wetlands,
EPA
program,
Brownfield
program,
Open,
Space
Authority
at
a
local
level,
and
then
on
a
federal
level.
There's
different
Grant
programs
that
they're
currently
working
and
outlining
related
to
Department
of
interior
interior
inflation
reduction
act
as
well
as
possible
planning
through
Department
of
interior
related
to
option
one
that
you
heard
earlier
today
and
the
Lake
Cunningham
around
kind
of
the
the
planning
stages.
T
Yeah
I
appreciate
that
and
and
having
to
watch
you
make
those
comments
through
Lake
Cunningham
actually
does
drive
home
the
importance
of
this.
This
discussion.
A
T
So
I,
you
know
it's
obviously
frustrating
for
those
of
us
who
sit
up
here
who
have
projects
in
our
own
district
and
there's
many
cases.
You
know
there's
many
others
in
our
district,
we're
talking
about
agnews
Park
and
the
frustration
about
tearing
down
old
buildings
that
have
been
sitting
there
vacant
for
decades,
and
we
have
to
find
20
million
dollars
to
do
that,
Allen,
Rock,
Park
and
all
the
money
we
need
to
do
there,
especially
now
to
restore
and
even
reopen
it.
T
It's
you
know
we
get
frustrated
because
we,
you
know,
put
something
in
a
memo
and
say
you
know,
find
some
funding
and
we
we
hope
that
it'll
get
done
quickly.
But
we
know
these
things
take
time
and
I
I
hope
that
we'll
continue
to
to
pursue
that
you
know
last
year
and
for
the
last
year,
maybe
a
year
and
a
half
ago,
I
signed
on
to
a
memo
with
council
members,
Carrasco
and
Arenas
that
moved
this
money
from
the
overall
reserve
for
measure
T
into
Lake.
T
Cunningham
I
did
that,
after
extensive
conversations
with
the
budget
director
and
receiving
assurance
that
the
shortfall
for
station
23
was
small
enough
and
within
range
that
we
would
probably
be
able
to
find
other
sources
and
get
it
done,
which
is
really
important
for
our
district
and
for
the
city
so
I.
You
know,
I
I
had
to
think
strongly
about
that.
It's
important
for
me
that
station
23
doesn't
drop
off
our
list
and
that
we
continue
to
pursue
it.
T
Unfortunately,
economic
conditions
have
changed
a
bit
since
I
signed
on
to
that
memo
and
we're
facing
larger
shortfall
in
some
of
these
fire
station
projects
and
and
therefore
I'm
more
concerned
now
about
specifically
using
any
of
the
resources
we
have
before.
We
have
a
better
handle
on
what
the
what
the
projects
are
going
to
look
like
in
the
future.
I
certainly
remain
fully
committed
to
what
I
said
before
that
this
is
important
for
us
to
revitalize
the
Lake
Cunningham
resource
and
that
future
Generations
will
have
access
to
the
water.
T
We
also
know
from
the
conversation
before
that,
even
if
we
spent
two
million
to
three
million
dollars
this
year.
It
would
probably
be
many
years
and
lots
of
fundraising
and
lots
of
other
work
before
the
lake
would
be
usable,
so
I'm
concerned
about
committing
the
money
now,
but
I
think
we're
going
to
start
to
get
a
better
feel
for
the
for
the
budget
going
forward,
as
we
actually
go
out
and
bid
contracts
for
the
next
few
stations
and
see
what
kinds
of
how
are
you
using
that
utilizing,
the
the
but
the
short?
T
Given
that
we
have
passed
a
memo
in
the
last
item
to
actually
do
a
much
more
thorough
analysis
of
what
we
have
to
do
on
the
on
Cunningham
and
how
we're
going
to
fund
it
and
what
the
potential
options
are
and
we're
going
to
come
back
with
that
result
within
less
than
a
year,
I
think
it's
prudent
for
us
at
this
time
to
put
everything
into
the
reserve
for
measure
T
in
general
and
have
that
discussion
once
we
have
a
better
handle
on
some
of
the
upcoming
costs,
what
whether
those
escalations
or
de-escalations
and
costs
coming
forward,
and
what
we're
going
to
need
and
how
we're
going
to
go
out
and
really
fund
Lake
Cunningham
to
make
it
usable
so
I'll
support
the
substitute
in
motion.
G
Thank
you
to
our
to
our
staff
here
and
thank
you
to
all
the
folks
who
who
called
in
I'm
here
to
I'm,
sharing
my
words
to
support
council
member
candles
and
councilmember
tease's
memo.
G
For
many
reasons.
Now
is
not
the
time
to
deinvest
from
Lake
Cunningham
in
our
East
Side,
it's
a
very,
very
important
place
for
our
community
and
our
families,
and
we
we
can
no
longer
just
offer
empty
platitudes
when
we
talk
about
Equity,
especially
equity,
for
our
most
under
re
under
resourced
areas,
where
Lake
Cunningham
is
the
flooding
of
Lake.
G
They
had
to
create
their
own
path
with
the
rich
wheelchairs
that
they
had
and
their
walkers
just
to
celebrate
a
friend's
birthday
in
their
community,
and
they
don't
deserve
that.
Our
east
side
doesn't
deserve
to
be
shortchanged
as
well,
and
I
urge
my
colleagues
to
support
councilmember,
Candelas
and
notice
his
memo
today.
Thank
you.
J
J
J
My
memorandum
reinforced
the
discussion
that
we
had
in
item
7.2
on
Lake
Cunningham
and
make
this
important
amenity
and
priority
for
our
city.
It's
allow
us
to
find
the
funding
we
needed
to
to.
You
know:
make
the
lake
clean
into
place
a
heavy
emphasis
on
staff
to
develop
a
long-term
plan,
so
it's
never
become
the
environment
disaster
we
have
today
and
when
we're
talking
about
taking
3.2
million
dollars.
J
J
J
C
E
F
Yeah,
thank
you.
You
know
I
feel.
Like
the
other
item,
we
had
on
Lake
Cunningham
sort
of
laid
the
foundation
for
some
of
the
things
that
I'm
concerned
about.
As
it
relates
to
this
item
you
know,
I
I
represent
South
San
Jose,
but
some
of
you
may
or
may
not
know
that
spend
half
of
my
life
living
in
East
San
Jose
spent
many
many
years
going
to
birthday
parties,
families
and
friends
at
Lake,
Cunningham,
Park,
Raging,
Waters.
F
All
that
and
so
I
know
the
park
will
and
some
of
the
comments
that
have
been
made.
F
It
just
makes
me
think
about
sort
of
why
I
am
going
to
be
supporting
the
underlying
well,
the
substitute
motion,
I
should
say,
and
the
first
is
this
really
that
you
know,
at
least
from
the
perspective
from
someone
that
represents
District
Two,
is
that
it
really
is
tied
to
a
commitment
that
was
made
to
the
residents
that
I
represent
22
years
ago,
with
the
passage
of
measure
o
and
some
of
you
may
or
may
not
understand
or
know
the
history
as
it
relates
to
how
it's
tied
to
this
particular
topic.
F
But
when
measurement
was
passed,
folks
were
promised
a
police
substation
in
South,
San
Jose
and
it
it
was
eventually
built,
but
it
was
empty
for
many
years.
F
Finally,
when
it
was
actually
utilized,
we
we
actually
currently
have
the
some
work
from
the
CSO
sort
of
reporting
out
of
there
and
there's
also
the
police
training
academy.
That
actually
does
there
are
academies
there
in
in
the
South
San,
Jose,
substation
and
so
so
the
so.
How
does
this
relate
to
this?
F
And
so
essentially,
what
what's
going
to
happen
is
that
if
we
don't
have
the
proper
funding
to
build
some
of
these
out,
specifically
for
mui
the
police
training
facility,
we're
not
going
to
be
able
to
to
to
to
live
up
to
the
commitments
that
we've
made
to
the
residents
22
years
ago,
because
we're
not
going
to
be
able
to
open
up
the
substation,
and
so
that
is
the
primary
reason
that
I
am
not
supportive
of
the
underlying
motion
and
I
am
supportive
of
the
substitute
motion.
F
Lake,
Cunningham,
Lane
Cunningham,
wasn't
part
of
the
discussion
when
we
talk
about
the
environmental
component
of
the
measure
that
was
strictly
and
solely
related
to
Coyote
Valley,
and
we
obviously
went
forward
and
purchased
those
hundreds
of
hundreds
of
Acres,
which
obviously
is
good
and
the
voter
supported
it.
I
believe
because
of
that,
but
Lake
Cunningham
wasn't
part
of
that
late
cut
the
topic
of
Lake
Cunningham,
which
I'm,
which
I'm
you
know
it's
important
to
me
generally,
was
bought
forward
brought
forward.
F
On
a
few
occasions,
my
council
member
Arenas,
which
I
think
is
important
and
certainly
very
appropriate,
getting
that
she
represents,
or
she
used
to
represent
that
area
or
actually
continues
to
represent
that
area
and
so
I
know.
It's
also
been
cited
that
we
in
June
I
think
of
last
year,
but
unanimously
to
to
essentially
put
that
money
into
another
bucket
associated
with
Environmental
water
quality
type
of
projects,
and
that
is
true,
but
I
would
say
that
I
would
lift
up
the
comments
from
councilmember
Cohen.
F
If
we
moved
the
money,
if
that's
what
I
was
told,
then
I
wouldn't
have
voted
for
it,
and
so
I
I
I
just
wanted
to
sort
of
put
that
out
there
as
one
of
the
the
other
movies
that
I
can't
be
supportive
of
it,
and
so
you
know,
I
I
certainly
think,
as
has
been
expressed
by
everyone,
that
Lake
Cunningham
deserves
to
be
lifted
up
as
an
important
thing
that
we
as
a
city
need
to
be
working
on.
I
can
tell
you
that
there's
you
know.
F
F
We've
touched
on,
there's
never
been
an
opportunity
for
me
to
vote
on
a
particular
item
related
to
Lake,
Cunningham
Park
in
the
water
quality
and
all
that
that's
just
never
come
before
us,
and
so,
but
but
I
am
willing
to
support
it
and
that's
why
I
voted
yes
on
the
other
item,
because
I
do
think
it's
a
worthwhile
project
that
needs
to
move
forward,
but,
as
evidenced
by
some
of
the
comments
from
staff,
it
seems
like
it's
just
not
right
and
so
I
I
am
more
supportive
of
putting
these
dollars
into
projects
that
are,
as
I
mentioned
during
the
other
item
or
shovel
ready.
F
If
you
will
right
and
so
I
I
look
forward
to
seeing
the
passage
of
this
substitute
motion
and
and
wholeheartedly
join
my
residence
and
and
look
forward
to
seeing
the
groundbreaking
of
the
police
training
facility
in
the
fall
of
this
year,
and
this
money
is
going
to
be
crucial
to
plugging
whatever
hole
may
exist.
And
so
thank
you
that's
my
remarks.
O
C
Great,
so
we're
back
to
a
second
round
of
comments
here
and
I
I'll
just
say
before:
I
go
to
councilman
Ortiz
I
appreciate
councilman
jimenez's
comments,
I
I
too
vote.
In
fact
it
was
a
unanimous
vote
for
the
memo
that
councilman
Cullen
referenced
earlier.
But
if
you
for
those
of
us
who
are
on
the
diocese
days
at
the
time
recall,
the
conversation
was
very
much
in
the
spirit
of
completing
all
listed
Public
Safety
projects.
First
and-
and
it
is
the
case
having
actually
I-
was
not
on
the
council
at
the
time.
C
But
when
measure
T
first
came
around
I
was
a
private
sector
co-chair
of
the
campaign
and
very
involved
knocked
on
hundreds
of
doors
for
measure.
T
and
councilman
Jimenez
is
correct.
We
specifically
spoke
to
Coyote
Valley
and
drinking
water
contamination
and
flood
protection
pertaining
to
Coyote
Valley
Lake
Cunningham
did
not
come
up
until
after
the
measure
was
passed.
So
I
appreciate
the
historical
context.
Okay,
we
do
have
a
third
round
of
comments
from
a
few
colleagues
and
then
we'll
try
to
land
the
plane.
Here
we
will
go
to
council
member
Ortiz.
H
Thank
you,
mayor,
I,
appreciate
hearing
from
my
my
colleagues
in
regards
to
where
their
positions
are
and
their
stances.
You
know
this
is
what
democracy
is
all
about,
we're
not
supposed
to
have
the
same
opinions.
I
would
just
like
to
mention
that
it's
important.
We
are
very
specific
with
the
words
we
say
and
how
we
say
it
right
to
categorize.
H
The
advocacy
of
residents
in
East,
San
Jose
as
useless
is
absolutely
disrespectful
to
use
those
words
for
my
constituents
is
a
slap
in
the
face
for
our
residents,
so
I
think
we
should
really
be
more
intentional
with
how
we
show
up
on
this
dice.
Second
I
would
say
that
there's
a
false
equivalency
with
the
fire
station
fire
20
fire
station
23
and
Lake
Cunningham.
We
don't
even
have
the
land
for
fire
station
23.
right,
there's
no
telling
how
long
this
would
be
just
in
the
in
the
in
the
bank
right.
H
It's
not
like.
We
have
the
land
tomorrow
to
build
this
facility,
so
to
say
that
by
not
investing
the
3.2
million,
it
could
automatically
result
in
loss
of
life
or
lack
of
safety
that
that's
just
misinformation
being
spread
to
the
public.
So
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
as
we
Advocate
from
the
diocese,
we
utilize
facts
and
we
do
our
best
not
to
insult
each
other's
constituencies.
AV
We
are
here
to
have
a
conversation
on
policy
and
I.
Think
it's
healthy,
that's
what
that's!
What
we're
doing
and
so
I
I
just
wanted
to
throw
that
out
there
and
just
say
you
know
again.
This
is
an
opportunity
to
invest
in
our
community
and
and
just
wanted
to.
Thank
thank
my
colleagues
for
the
for
the
dialogue.
Thank
you.
P
I
agree
with
that
we
are
appointed
to
represent
our
community.
Our
district,
but
I.
Consider
myself
that
when
I'm,
representing
district
10
I'm
actually
representing
the
city,
I
have
to
do
the
best
things
for
the
city
and
overall
good
for
the
San
Jose
residence,
District,
8
or
district
10
I
will
not
meet
that
try
to
be
doing
things
for
district
10,
which
is
actually
going
to
hurt
the
overall
city
of
San
Jose.
P
If
our
image
is
going
to
be
hurt
with
the
fact
that
we
are
trying
to
do
with
the
voters,
something
which
was
promised
to
them
under
measure
T,
and
we
are
trying
to
do
that,
because
we
think
that
District
8
needs
it,
something
which
is
not
in
the
measure
T.
So
this
doesn't
help
us
in
that
way.
So
I
am
not
talking
about
that.
We
are
not
supposed
to
do.
P
Our
advocacy
you're
welcome
to
do
that,
but
we
have
to
be
looking
at
the
overall
good
for
the
city
of
San
Jose
and
as
a
result,
whatever
policies
were
whatever
our
commitments
were.
We
are
going
to
try
meeting
for
the
entire
city
of
San,
Jose
and
council
member
Ortiz.
You
said:
there's
insult
for
your
constituents.
I
acknowledge
the
time
which
people
have
spent
in
coming
and
trying
to
preserve
their
Community.
P
So
I
am
trying
to
say
is
that
when
we
try
to
put
the
two
projects
which
are
equally
worthy,
but
one
is
not
covered
by
measure
T,
because
I
spent
three
years
on
that
one
on
your
behalf,
trying
to
make
sure
that
I
was
doing
the
right
thing
to
make
sure
that
your
tax
dollars
are
going
there
I'm
not
talking
about
any
constituents
who
comes
here
to
defend
or
pretend
or
present
about
their
activity.
They
are
taking
their
personal
time.
P
So
I
respect
their
time,
whatever
their
opinion
may
be,
whether
I
may
agree
with
them
or
not
be
able
to
support
it.
They
are
extremely
important
to
me
and
they
are
taking
their
day
time
to
come
and
speak
for
it.
I
highly
appreciate
that
okay
and
I
appreciate
any
motion
you
bring
whether
I'm
able
to
support
it
or
not.
Okay.
So
let's
take
that
with
that.
One
I
still
consider
that
I
am
proud.
P
That
I
supported
your
7.2
motion,
because
it's
worthy
of
support
I'm
also
saying
that
I
do
not
believe
that
the
Cunningham
project
belongs
in
the
measure
T,
and
that
is
why
I'm
making
the
motion
of
R1
to
say
that
let's
keep
all
the
funds
which
are
there
for
the
safety
projects,
Public
Safety
once
they're
done.
If
there
is
any
money
around,
you
can
have
it
for
the
other
one.
Otherwise,
we'll
work
with
you
to
get
the
funding
for
the
Lake
Cunningham
from
whatever
sources
is
available.
P
J
Thank
you,
mayor,
I,
I,
agree
with
council
member
Candelas
when
he
when
he
said
that
it's
a
great
dialogue
for
all
of
us
and
it's
not
pitting
one
another.
It's
about
how
we
serve
the
constituent,
the
best
that
we
can
with
the
appropriate
funding
that
was
designated.
If
we
don't
follow
measured
t
we
are
disrespecting
our
voters
and
when
we're
talking
about
disinformation,
we
have
to
be
very
careful
because
when
we
don't
understand
about
Dynamic
deployments,
we
don't
understand
about
response
time.
J
We
don't
understand
the
strategically
how
we
play
station
to
save
lives,
to
reduce
amount
of
time,
such
as
being
unfair
to
our
residents
and
I.
Ask
that
all
of
you
consider
what
is
a
life
worth
and
that's
more
important
to
me,
because
I've
served
from
saving
a
very
young
baby
to
the
very
old
and
every
those
lives
worth
more
money
than
the
city
could
have,
and
it's
not
about
this
District
or
that
District
it's
about
saving
human
life.
Thank
you.
C
Thank
you,
council,
member.
Okay,
we
are
we're
going
to
vote
in
a
moment.
I
did
want
to
just
offer
a
closing
thought
one.
One
being
I
appreciate
all
of
the
dialogue,
everybody's
openness
and
US
striving
to
listen
to
one
another
while
having
differences
of
opinions.
I
think
that's
really
healthy
and
you
know
we're
gonna
not
always
agree,
as
was
noted
and
that's
to
be
expected.
But
the
fact
that
I
think
we
we
had
a
couple
rounds
here
and
heard
one
another
out
was
productive
as
we
vote.
C
But
it
is
a
complex
issue
and
there
is
a
there
is
a
backstory
in
history
to
measure
T
and
I.
Just
encourage
council
members,
when
talking
with
the
community
and
interpreting
the
vote
that
maybe
go
back
to
the
original
measure,
T
language
and
kind
of
download.
Some
of
that
context,
in
the
spirit
of
understanding
and
building
empathy
and
really
not
eroding
trust
in
in
the
communities
we
all
talked
about
because
I'll
end
on
this
point,
this
measure
has
been
a
real
bright
spot
for
our
city.
C
We
went
out
and
got
over
70
percent
support
for
a
bond
that
has
enabled
us
to
do
a
lot
of
critical
work
from
you
know:
councilmember
jimenez's,
great
work
down
in
Coyote
Valley.
You
know
protecting
flood
lands
there
and
preserving
open
space
to
the
the
training
center
and
the
fire
station
repairs,
and
so
many
other
and
Paving
miles
and
miles
of
road.
C
So
I,
just
I
want
to
be
careful
that
what
we,
these
debates
are
very
legitimate,
that
we
also
don't
end
up,
leaving
our
community
with
some
impression
that
somehow
they
were
misled
or
something
that
otherwise
has
been
such
a
well-managed
bond
in
such
a
bright
spot
in
the
execution
of
local
government.
So
with
that
I
think
oh
new
hand.
Vice
mayor.
AK
Thank
you,
I
just
wanted
to
to
say
that
you
know
Lake
Cunningham,
like
many
of
our
parks,
are
in
tremendous
need
and
I
know
that
you
know
we're
sort
of
getting
to
the
end
of
the
projects
for
measure
t,
but
people
really
care
about
their
parks
and
I.
AK
Think
that
perhaps
in
the
future,
as
we
move
forward
and
look
at
the
different
needs
that
that
we
have
for
parks
that
there
may
be
an
opportunity
to
do
something,
much
more
specific
for
our
Parks,
because
I
really
think
they
need
it
and
they
get
used
a
lot
and
I.
Think
sometimes
you
know
we
don't
give
it
as
much
emphasis
as
we
should
so
I
just
put
that
out
there
for
future
conversation,
because
I
think
that
you
know
I
believe
that
measure
T
is
for
Public,
Safety
and
and
for
what
was
enumerated
previously.
AK
C
Yeah
Point
well
taken
I,
completely
agree
and
as
assistant
city
manager,
Lee
Wilcox
was
saying
earlier
that
there
has
been
some
exploration
there
and
I
know.
Many
of
us
hope
that
the
public
sentiment
and
the
economy
will
put
us
in
a
position
in
the
coming
years
to
go
out
and
look
at
a
revenue
stream
to
make
some
significant
investments
in
our
parks
and
public
spaces.
C
What
that
looks
like
I,
don't
know
it
doesn't
appear
that
the
economy
or
public
sentiment
is
going
to
support
that
in
the
short
run,
but
I
know
many
of
us
really
hope
that
that
is
possible
in
the
near
term.
Okay
looks
like
I
inadvertently
continued
the
conversation
we
will
go
to
council
member
Cohen
go
ahead,
I.
T
Was
going
to
say
something
similar
to
what
you
said
just
just
for
context,
we
did
explore
a
parcel
tax
funding
stream
for
Parks
came
forward
early
last
year.
The
polling
wasn't
positive
and
we're
hoping
it'll
happen.
I
think
all
of
us
would
like
to
see
that
and
I
think
we
desperately
need
it.
So
hopefully
that
will
be
something
we'll
continue
to
pursue.
Yeah.
N
AM
A
point
of
clarity,
so
the
motion
is:
that's
going
to
be
vote
on.
C
Currently
voting
on
The
Substitute
motion,
which
is
the
recommendation
sorry
to
interrupt
you
in
the
memoranda
from
council
members,
batra
and
Davis,
and
the
separate
Memo
from
council
member
Dawan.
AM
Okay,
I
have
a
question
of
clarification
on
council
member
duan's
recommendations.
Just
for
clarity,
yes,
number
two
says
to
come
back:
bi-monthly
has
two
meetings
just
want
to
make
sure
you're
wanting
us
to
come
back
every
other
month
and
not
twice
a
month.
Thank.
C
You
for
catching
that
yeah
definitely
not
twice
a
month
to
council.
In
fact,
I
think
we
might
want
to
modify
that.
What
would
and
maybe
I
can
turn
to
the
administration
on
where
that
might
go,
and
what
the
right
frequency
would
be
and
then
we'll
see
if
that
is
amountable
to
the
makers
of
the
motion.
C
AM
Directed
but
every
other
month
isn't
terrible,
but
once
a
quarter
is
probably
about
right,
because
that
would
get
us
before
the
end
of
the
fiscal
year
for
sure
sure
and
then
and
as
you
come
back
from
your
the
July
recess.
But
for
sure.
Okay.
AM
As
number
four,
that
commitment
is
going
to
be
a
real
challenge
because
of
first
of
all
to
build
before
2018
sorry,
2028
is
a
challenge,
but
also
the
commit
that
we
would
have
the
funds
for
it.
There's
many
things
that
I
would
have
to
bring
the
city
manager
for
clearance
on
that.
C
C
Well,
it's
the
right
aspiration
nearly
impossible
for
us
to
make
that
commitment
without
putting
critical
services
at
risk,
because
we
don't
know
if
we
will
have
other
sources
of
funding
which
would
put
us
in
the
position
potentially
if
we
were
to
stick
with
this
to
have
to
lay
off
firefighters
to
build
the
fire
station,
so
I
think
we
we
may
want
to
drop
or
loosen
that
now
the
memo
I'm
sorry,
the
substitute
motion
was
made
by
councilman
batra
and
second
I
Believe
by
Davis,
so
I'd
recommend
that
we
maybe
drop
that.
Fourth
one.
C
I
would
frankly,
I
would
drop
it
because
it
I
think
we
all.
We
have
a
lot
of
critical
things
we
want
to
fund.
We
can't
commit
to
a
date
by
which
we're
going
to
pass
a
new
Bond
measure.
We
don't
know
what
the
economy
is
going
to
look
like.
We
I
mean
it's
just
it's
really
hard
to
commit
to
Big,
one-off
expenditures
in
the
future
by
a
given
date,
yeah
I,
just
that
doesn't
seem
fiscally
responsible
of
us
to
do.
Even
though
I
think
we
all
agree
with
the
sentiment
yeah.
J
I'll
agree
to
the
every
other
month
and
yeah
and
yes,
I
I'm,
okay,
with
dropping
it
yeah
on
item
number,
four.
AH
AH
Or
did
you
want
to
I
just
want
to
clarify
on
the
the
committing
to
the
fire
station
it
is
on?
It
will
be
on
our
minds
every
fiscal
year
as
until
we
get
it
funded,
We're
Not
Gonna.
We
went
through
a
lot,
especially
during
you
know,
years
ago,
on
fire
station
37,
and
it
was
very
difficult
because
we
had
a
similar
issue
with
being
short
on
bond
funds,
and
we
will,
you
know,
commit
to
keeping
our
eye
on
the
ball
on
this
one,
as
we
can
find
funding
to
get
it
built.
AH
J
You
Jennifer
I
I
would
say
how
about
we
modify
it
to
read
commitment
to
bill
with
no
date.
P
It
okay:
we
should
leave
it
at
that
and
counselor
I
I.
Think,
since
we
got
that
we're
keeping
the
funding
where
it
is
plus
we
are
getting
a
bi-monthly
or
every
two.
P
N
A
AV
AV
A
C
AN
AN
Okay,
good
afternoon
council
members,
John
ciccarelli,
director
of
parks,
recreation,
Neighborhood,
Services
back
to
in
front
of
you
with
our
long-term
lease
of
our
golf
courses,
we're
very
excited
to
bring
this
project
to
you.
It's
been
many
years
of
work.
I've
been
the
director
of
this
apartment
for
five
years
now,
and
it
has
been
something
we've
been
working
on
that
entire
time
and
even
before
that,
so
it's
an
exciting
day
for
us
with
me
to
my
left,
Avio
Tom,
our
deputy
director
of
parks
to
his
left,
Dominique
piccolba,
our
interim
Parks
manager
to
her
left.
BK
There
we
go
hello
mayor
and
Council,
as
John
mentioned,
I
am
Dominique
bakoba
and
I'm,
the
interim
Parks
manager
and
I
oversee
programming
for
the
regional
Park's
newest
unit
destination
events
and
sports,
which
includes
the
management
oversight
of
the
city
of
San,
Jose's,
unique
golf
courses,
our
City's
municipal
golf
courses
offer
a
variety
size
and
difficulty
to
their
guests
in
Rancho.
Del
Pueblo
is
located
in
Council
District
5
and
is
a
nine
hole
par-28
course
because
of
its
size
and
location.
BK
It's
a
great
course
for
the
beginner
golfer
to
find
their
game,
as
well
as
the
regular
players.
Looking
for
a
quick
tune-up
rounds,
Los
Lagos
located
in
Council
district
7,
and
it's
the
newest
course
in
our
inventory,
as
an
18-hole
par-68
Course
Los
Lagos
offers
additional
challenges
for
the
intermittent
to
season
golfer
to
hone
their
skills
in
the
heart
of
San
Jose.
BK
Finally,
San
Jose
Municipal
Golf
Course,
located
in
Council
District
3,
is
a
traditional
18
hole,
par-72
municipal
course
that
offers
open,
Fairways
and
flat
terrains
for
a
great
experience
for
golfers
of
all
skill
levels.
All
three
courses
leave
well-appointed
driving
ranges
and
practice
facilities
for
players.
BK
BK
Beyond
Golf,
the
Coyote
Creek
Trail
runs
through
Los
Lagos
and
Rancho
Del
Pueblo
offers
soccer
golf
to
its
guests.
Additionally,
the
community
benefits
from
many
non-golf
activities
at
all
three
of
the
local
courses,
whether
attending
a
paint
night
a
summer
concert
series
a
wedding
or
a
spring
egg
hunt.
Community
members
of
all
ages
enjoy
that
beauty
and
Hospitality
of
these
facilities
both
serve
an
invaluable
Purpose
with
their
flood
control
capacity.
BK
Over
the
years,
the
city's
golf
courses
have
been
the
subject
of
extensive
study,
largely
due
to
Performance
that
did
not
meet
projections
or
expectations.
The
last
study
was
in
September
2015.
It
was
the
audit
for
the
city's
golf
courses
that
daylighted
the
challenges
with
municipal
golf
during
an

Council
accepted
the
prns
staff
update
report
on
the
city's
municipal
golf
courses,
including
plans
to
initiate
the
procurement
process
for
future
Golf
Course
operations
under
a
long-term
lease
agreement
and
directed
staff
to
return
to

before
final
execution
of
the
agreement.
With
a
report
on
how
the
agreements
ensure
and
expand
Community

BK
Course,
code
brings
more
than
20
years
experience
serving
San
Jose
residents
and
operates
40
golf

mainly
in
California
the

co-incorporated
proposal
included
an
understanding
and
commitment
to
the
residents
of
San
Jose
and
to
the

stakeholders
and
demonstrated
a
commitment
to

Additionally,
its
core
values
of
financial
performance,
Community
inclusion,
environmental
stewardship
and
stakeholder
communication
aligned
with
the

of

for
the

as
well
as
the
Department's
guiding
principles
of

neck

and
a
strong

Staffing
model.
A
protest
was
received
from
another
bitter
Gulf
automation,
that
staff
carefully
examined
and
rejected,
and
golf
automation
has
since
filed
an
appeal
and
with
that
I'll
turn
it
over
to
Avi.
AT
AT
First,
as
you
watch
that
golf
ball
bouncing
in
to
the
screen,
the
lease
term
will
be
have
an
initial
term
of
15
years,
and
the
city
will
have
the
sole
discretion
to
extend
the
lease
for
up
to
two
additional
five-year
terms
or,
if
conditions
change.
The
city
may
elect
to
terminate
the
lease
without
cause
after
the
first
five
years
of
the
term,
subject
to
the
conditions
outlined
in
staff's
memo.
AT
This
framework
gives
the
city
the
stability
and
predictability
of
a
long-term
contract,
as
well
as
control
and
options
to
Pivot.
If
warranted
payments
to
the
city,
corsco
proposed
a
tiered
rent
structure
where,
when
the
golf
course
is
collectively
performed
better
and
revenues,
increase
the
city's
actual
and
relative
share
of
revenues
increase
too,
we
can
never
predict
the
future.
AT
In
the
last
full
year
before
the
pandemic,
the
city
had
an
operating
loss
for
the
three
golf
courses
of
seven
hundred
thousand
dollars.
So
this
rent
structure
would
represent
roughly
a
2.2
million
dollar
swing.
That
lands
us
pretty
squarely
on
The
Fairway.
If
you
excuse
my
pun
and
if
there's
a
downturn,
let
me
add:
the
revenue
sharing
lease
structure
of
this
agreement
protects
the
city
and
to
ensure
we
receive
our
fair
share
course.
Gold
provide
an
annual
independent
audit
of
revenues.
AT
Capital
Investments
in
the
RFP,
the
city
required
bidders
to
bring
2
million
of
their
own
company
funds
to
provide
Capital
Improvement
projects,
defining
the
RFP
and
subject
to
the
approval
of
an
annual
Capital
plan
submitted
to
the
Department
through
lease
negotiations.
Staff
has
required
course
go
to
deposit
an
additional
400
000
per
year
for
the
first
five
lease
years
into
a
fund
to
be
held
by
corsco
in
lieu
of
paying
an
equal
amount
as
rent.
AT
Will
deposit
three
percent
of
annual
revenues
into
a
fund
for
projects
extending
the
life
or
maintaining
the
condition
of
assets,
subject
to
City
approval
that
translates
to
about
360
000
per
year,
based
on
recent
golf
performance
for
golf
maintenance
projects,
which
is
more
than
we've
ever
had
before
for
that
kind
of
work.
Again
course,
gold
will
provide
an
independent
audit
of
annual
Capital,
Improvement
and
maintenance
funds
to
assure
the
city
that
require
deposits
and
spending
take
place
in
accordance
with
city
council
Direction.
AT
Last
but
certainly
not
least,
in
accordance
with
city
council
Direction,
the
lease
insurers
passed
Community
use
can
continue
and
expands
access
in
a
number
of
ways.
The
lease
will
ensure
that
golf
courses
continue
to
host
non-golf
community
events
as
they
have
in
the
past
and
since
a
benchmark
of
at
least
12
events
per
Golf
Course
per
year.
That
may
include
Family,
Fun,
Nights
movie,
Nights
concerts,
nature
tours
and
more.
AT
The
lease
also
ensures
that
high
school
and
middle
school
golf
teams
will
continue
to
be
able
to
use
the
golf
courses
and
that
the
courses
will
host
at
least
one
event
per
course
per
year.
That
brings
in
local
schools
for
Hands-On
environmental
and
nature
learning
and
in
accordance
with
Council
Direction.
The
lease
requires
that
corsco
will
negotiate
a
use
agreement
with
the
first
T
of
Silicon
Valley
within
90
days
of
contract
execution.
So
that's
how
we
ensure
the
past
level
of
community
use.
AT
AT
Golf
lessons
and
golf
courses
which
translates
to
about
375
000
to
625
000
in
scholarship
funding
over
the
15
to
25
years
of
this
contract
and
corsco,
is
seeking
commitments
from
additional
sponsors
to
match
its
contribution
and
scale
up
the
impact
for
accountability
purposes.
Courseco
is
required
to
provide
prns
with
quarterly
reports
on
Community,
Access
events
and
programs
and
prns
plans
to
report
annually
to
the
neighborhood
services
and
education
committee,
starting
in
2024
to
share
the
operational
Financial
results
of
the
gulf
lease,
and
especially
the
results
of
these
efforts
to
ensure
and
expand
Community
Access.
AT
AT
As
Dominic
mentioned,
there
has
been
a
protest
and
an
appeal
and
you'll
have
a
chance
to
hear
about
that.
Momentarily
staff
has
carefully
evaluated
that
and
we
continue
to
recommend
the
city
council,
accept
this
report
and
adopt
a
resolution
authorizing
the
city
manager
to
negotiate
and
execute
a
lease
agreement
for
all
for
and
all
other
necessary
documents
with
corsco
for
the
three
city-owned
golf
courses
with
that
staff
will
be
available
for
questions
and
feedback.
But
before
we
get
there
I
believe
golf
automation
will
have
five
minutes
to
present
its
appeal
to
the
city
council.
E
BL
Wonderful,
thank
you
very
much
good
evening.
Mr
Mayor
and
distinguished
members
of
the
council.
My
name
is
Aaron
Flores
I'm,
the
attorney
for
golf
automation.
BL
Golf
automation
was
a
bitter
on
the
long-term
lease
of
the
municipal
golf
courses.
The
lease
over
its
lifetime
with
extensions
is
worth
upwards
of
300
million
dollars
present
in
the
chamber
is
golf
automation's
President,
Michael
Farrow,
as
well
as
Representatives
rod,
jakar
and
Cindy
Bland.
If
we
could
go
to
slide
number
two,
please.
BL
My
client
golf
automation
submitted
a
bid
protest
concerning
the
city's
intent
to
award
the
long-term
lease
of
the
municipal.
Golf
courses
to
courseco
and
I'll
represent
to
you
that
there
are
important
legal
and
practical
reasons
why
that
protest
was
made
and
why
this
city
council
should
grant
our
appeal.
Unfortunately,
the
city
incorrectly
denied
that
protest
and
failed
to
address
important
issues
which
were
raised,
including
issues
of
collusion
and
failures,
to
disclose
certain
conflicts
of
interests
that
were
that
had
that
were
had
by
course,
code.
The
intended
awardee
as
part
of
that
bid
protest
process.
BL
BL
Thank
you.
First
evidence
of
there
was
evidence
of
collusion
and
a
failure
to
disclose
a
conflict
of
interest
by
course
coat,
and
we
believe
that
this
violated
the
municipal
code
chapter
12.21
reference
to
resolution
number
77135,
section
7,
as
well
as
the
bid
document
addendum
at
section
13
titled
grounds
for
disqualification.
BL
Unfortunately,
like
I
mentioned,
the
city
has
not
yet
addressed
this
issue,
and
our
position
is
that
this
issue
should
have
caused
course
bid
to
be
rejected
and
then
disqualified,
due
to
collusion
and
conflict
of
interests
that
were
not
disclosed.
As
you
can
see
on
the
slide
here,
there
are
citations,
from
course,
codes
RFP
response
referring
to
negotiated
agreements
with
the
current
operators
of
San,
Jose,
Municipal,
Golf
Course
and
again
you
see
a
on
form,
4
page
7,
referring
to
an
agreement
that
was
already
in
place
with
the
San
Jose
Municipal
Golf
operator.
BL
If
we
can
go
to
the
next
page,
please
thank
you,
and
so
we
believe
by
not
disclosing
these
things.
That
courseco
should
be
disqualified
as
a
bidder
and
their
bid
rejected,
and
you
can
see
that
even
the
the
appearance
of
a
conflict
of
interest
can
be
a
basis
for
disqualification.
BL
If
we
can
go
to
the
next
page
foreign
page,
five,
please.
Second,
the
city
unfairly
did
not
consider
golf
courses,
golf
automation's
entire
bid
response,
because
apparently
the
city's
own
server
cut
off
a
portion
of
their
Bid
And.
This
is
a
citation
from
the
bid
denial
letter
that
we
received
in
response
to
our
big
protest.
Unfortunately,
the
city
never
even
reached
out
to
us
concerning
the
mistake,
which
could
have
resulted
Us
in
being
interviewed
and
if
we
were
interviewed,
we
would
have
had
scored
even
higher
relatedly.

AW
Good
evening,
mayor
good
evening,
Council
City
staff,
Michael
Sharp
president
and
CEO
of
courseco
and
your
partner
for
the
last
20
years,
I'm
excited
about
the
new
agreement
that
we
negotiated.
It's
a
long
time
coming.
City
staff,
city
council,
previous
administration,
put
a
lot
of
work
and
thought
into
the
RFP
process
and
I'm
excited
what
the
future
holds.
I'm
excited
about
the
next
15
to
25
years
and
what's
possible,
I'm
going
to
be
specific
I
think
Avi
did
a
great
job
of
outlining.
AW
Why
it's
a
good
lease
but
I'm
going
to
point
it
out
number
one:
Capital
infusion,
there's
a
dedicated
Capital
infusion
by
corsco
of
over
two
million
dollars
and
number
two
there's
a
financial
sustainable
model.
That's
in
place
now
for
all
three
golf
courses
that
not
only
provides
Financial
stability
long
term,
but
it
also
offers
Capital
commitment
each
year
to
invest
back
in
the
property
and
I.
Think.
More
importantly,
for
us,
though,
is
if
you've
seen
our
track
record
in
Nora
core
values
of
community
outreach.
AW
The
new
agreement
with
the
three
golf
courses
allows
us
to
extend
our
reach.
We
are
currently
working.
It
is
true
with
the
First
Tee
on
that
use
agreement
that
was
spelled
out
on
the
RFP,
we're
currently
working
on
that
use
agreement
with
the
First
Tee,
not
just
for
expanded
use
at
the
property,
but
also
to
make
Rancho
Pueblo
a
community
center,
an
activity
center
and
we're
working
together
on
what
that
future
looks
like
with
our
partner,
The
First
Tee.
Second,
we're
excited
because
we
get
extend
and
we
are
committed
to
those
community
events.
AW
12
events
per
year,
Pro
Golf
Course,
is
going
to
allow
us
to
reach
a
lot
more
people
than
we
currently
have
been
and
I.
Think.
The
last
piece
of
the
community
outreach
piece
is
corsico's
commitment
to
bring
a
similar
program
that
we
created
in
Oakland
called
the
Oakland
Turfgrass
education
initiative,
which
is
a
program
typically
for
underserved
youth
in
that
Community
around
that
Golf
Course,
to
bring
them
out
to
the
golf
course
not
to
play.
That's
a
byproduct.
AW
AS
Hello
good
evening,
can
you
hear
me.
E
AS
Okay
good
evening,
Master
mayor
and
the
council.
First,
let's
talk
about
the
condition
of
the
golf
courses
as
they
are.
We
saw
some
very
pretty
pictures
in
the
beginning,
I
don't
know
when
those
pictures
were
taken
and
I'm,
not
sure
if
anybody
in
the
council
has
been
to
these
golf
courses,
but
a
lot
of
grab
in
a
lot
of
areas,
grasses
not
maintained
properly
in
some
areas,
there's
no
grass
at
all
and
you're
just
playing
unjust
dirt.
AS
There
is
water
sitting
in
the
middle
of
the
course,
so
you
have
to
walk
through
puddles
and
mud
to
hit
your
shot.
I
would
like
to
bring
my
business
associates
to
this
courses,
but
I
can't
because
it's
embarrassing
is
the
stuff
that
you
see
in
a
third
world
country
and
I.
Don't
think
anyone
can
visit
these
courses
and
says
yes,
these
courses
are
maintained.
AS
Well
now,
the
city's
turning
around
and
awarding
it
to
the
same
operator
for
another
25
years,
25
years
on
a
contract
that
clearly
doesn't
have
proper
criteria
to
hold
the
operator
we're
accountable.
Otherwise,
the
condition
of
these
courses
wouldn't
be
so
bad
and
even
then
you're
killing
the
competition
with
a
contract
that
runs
a
quarter
of
a
century
so
and
finally,
I
just
heard
the
the
presentation
from
the
attorney.
AS
This
seems
to
have
all
the
bells
and
whistles
of
an
unfair
bidding
practice
with
one
company
trying
to
use
their
connections
and
doing
back
dealings
with
the
current
employees.
This
is
not
how
we
do
things
in
San
Jose.
We
have
high
standards.
This
is
not
how
we
do
things
in
America.
This
is
the
stuff
you
see
in
China
or
Russia.
You
know,
I
saw.
We
all
took
the
Pledge
of
Allegiance.
In
the
beginning
of
this
meeting,
we
have
to
play
by
the
rules.
We
have
to
play
fair.
AS
E
AD
Hello,
everyone-
this
is
from
San
Jose,
just
wanted
to
Express
my
note
about
this.
That
I
frequently
go
to
Las
logos.
Golf
course,
and
I
would
like
to
draw
your
attention
to
the
condition
of
the
course
there
are
so
many
holes
and
bumps
all
over
the
course
area,
and
then
the
the
parking
lot
is
too
small
for
the
course
death
size
and
there
is
an
empty
land
adjacent
to
the
parking
lot
that
could
be
used
as
an
extra
parking
spaces
and
I
haven't
seen
any
Improvement
for
the
past
decade.
AD
E
BD
Sorry
about
that
hi
I
would
like
to
just
make
sure
we
reiterate
with
that.
First
gentleman
was
talking
about
if
there's
even
a
hint
of
collusion
or
quote
unquote,
insider
trading
or
anything.
That's
the
thing
that
frustrates
us
with
taxpayers
and
his
books
that
are
want
to
see
a
fair
bit
if
there
wasn't,
that
should
just
be
sending
up
red
flags
all
over
the
place
and
it's
not
to
say
anybody's,
doing
anything
illegal.
BD
Maybe
there's
people
didn't
realize
it
once
in
a
while
there's
more
than
six
council
members
that
get
involved
in
something
so
they
have
to
self
regulate,
and
then
they
have
to
tell
people
that
there
might
have
been
a
brown
act
violation.
It's
not
there's
not
these
dark
room
deals
with
all
these
people
hiding
in
you,
know,
spies
and
everything.
But
honest
mistakes
can
be
made
and
you
should
err
on
the
side
of
righteousness,
and
you
know
it
should
be
fair,
unequal
or
equal
weights
and
measures.
Thank
you.
I'm
done.
E
AG
AD
AG
Calls
for
it,
unfortunately,
let's
hear
about
the
past
of
this
company
that
you
guys
granted
that
on
track
and
you
guys
again
contracted
to
them
for
another
15
at
least
15
years.
I
know
that
they
presented
the
plan.
Everything
like
that,
but
I
hear
and
I
always
follow
the
events
regarding
the
gulf,
so
I
I
think
when
you
guys
make
a
decision.
AG
I
expect
that
you
guys
do
not
making
mistakes
that
previously
was
done
this
company,
if
you
go
just
through
their
website
or
they
search
a
little
internet,
see
they
don't
treat
their
employees
as
well.
They
are
not
Diversified
and
there
is
that
and
they're
just
looking
for
the
profit.
Obviously,
if
the
company
looks
for
the
profit,
but
in
what
means
that's
important,
I
don't
want
the
city
to
make
a
difference
again.
The
same
mistake
as
previous
one.
Thank
you
for
giving
me
opportunity
to
save
my
voice.
Thank
you.
E
BM
Hi
everyone
thank
you
for
the
opportunity,
so
I
used
to
go
to
the
ranch
of
the
Pueblo
Golf
Course.
Every
week,
then
I
actually
started
having
a
problem
called
the
spondylolisthesis,
which
is
a
kind
of
disability
and
I
needed
a
card
to
go
around
every
time
that
I
went
to
the
golf
course.
They
were
telling
me
that
they
don't
have
a
car.
They
always
have
an
excuse.
It's
like
because
I'm
young
I,
don't
look
old
enough
to
deserve
a
card
or
there
so
I
started
going
to
another
one.
BM
The
municipal
golf
course,
but
I
had
the
same
problems
there
too.
So
now
I'm,
actually
driving
all
the
way.
All
the
way
up
there
to
East
Bay
to
be
able
to
like
find
a
place
to
just
play
golf
and
be
able
to
deal
with
my
situation
and
I'm,
hoping
that
something
actually
happens
in
future
because,
like
some
people
like
me,
really
deserve
better.
Thank
you.
BN
Yes,
this
is
Lillian
from
District
three
I'm
just
comment
and
the
gentleman
that
spoke
earlier
that
had
dealings
with
the
city
for
the
last
20
years.
It
is
important
that
young
people
of
low
economic
means
get
to
the
higher
ranks
of
playing
golf
when
you
stated
that
they
could
be
in
the
industry,
but
perhaps
we'd
like
them
to
play
golf.
The
key
is
that
they
should
aspire
to
be
like
Tiger
Woods
or
some
of
the
other
golfers.
BN
So
please,
when
you're
talking
about
those
young
people,
keep
that
in
mind,
but
really
I'm
calling
in
because
it's
the
irony
of
tonight's
discussion
about
parks
and
golf
courses
and
I
have
played
at
the
Rancho
Golf
Club
course.
It's
up
the
street
on
King
not
far
from
where
I
live
actually,
and
it
happens
to
be
situated
in
in
a
city
in
an
area.
That
is
not
what
you
would
consider
upper
class
so
to
speak
for
golf,
but
it
is
an
important
aspect
of
that
Community.
BN
You
are
willing
to
save
a
golf
course
and
do
everything
under
the
Sun,
but
not
willing
to
save
Cunningham
Park
Overfelt
Park
to
clean
up
Alum
Rock
Park.
Those
are
very
important
Parks
also.
Why
is
it
important
to
make
money
off
a
golf
course,
and
perhaps
you
would
can
rethink
or
come
out
of
the
box
so
to
speak
and
make
money
on
some
of
the
other
parks
to
even
keep
them
clean
and
keep
them
up
to
a
certain
level
where
people
can
actually
go
to
those
Parks.
Thank
you.
F
Yeah,
thank
you
mayor
appreciate
it
just
a
a
few
questions,
so
I'm
curious.
If
someone
can
help
me
understand
and
I
apologize
if
it
was
in
the
memo,
but
but
I
gave
it
a
once
over,
but
I'm
sure
there's
a
lot
of
information
in
there.
But
how?
How
different
is
this
new
contract
compared
to
the
existing
contract?
AT
Hi
council,
member
Hernandez,
this
is
Avio
Tom,
deputy
director
of
parks,
so
so
I
would
say
the
the
major
difference
is
in
terms
of
the
risk
and
the
reward
currently
that
the
two
contracts
for
Los,
Lagos
and
Rancho
de
Pueblo
Golf
Course
are
management
agreements
where,
regardless
of
performance
or
financial
results,
the
city
is
responsible
for
covering
all
costs,
as
well
as
paying
a
management
fee
to
our
operator,
which
is
currently
corsco
under
the
the
proposed
agreement.
These
would
be
lease
agreements
where
the
financial
risk
for
the
business
rests
with
with
the
lessee.
AT
So
if
rounds
go
down,
if
per,
if
the,
if
the,
if
the
revenue
decreases,
the
the
downside
does
not
sit
with
the
city,
we
may
see
less.
We
will
see
less
Revenue
in
those
situations,
but
we
will
not
see
performance
losses
that
end
up
coming
to
us.
So
this
model
is
actually
what
we've
had
in
place
for
many
years
at
the
Municipal
Golf
Course,
it's
been
successful
there.
It's
provided
a
steady
stream
of
income
and
also
kept
the
course
maintained.
AT
F
AT
That
is
correct.
Under
the
existing
contract,
our
our
operators
are
all
required
to
reinvest
a
small
percentage
of
revenues
into
Course
Maintenance.
That's
been
three
percent
of
Los
Lagos
one
and
a
half
percent
at
Muni
and
I
think
one
percent
at
Rancho.
So
under
this
model
there
would
be
an
upfront
capital
investment
to
make
improvements
and
also
a
three
percent
of
Revenue
continuing
investment
to
support
the
maintenance
of
these
assets.
F
Okay,
all
right,
you
know
I'm
thinking
back
to
conversations
we
had
many
years
ago
and
I
remember
correctly
if
I'm
wrong,
but
it
was
our
thought
that
the
motto
that
we
had
at
San
Jose
Muni,
was
the
model
that
we
sort
of
wanted
to
tailor
other
models,
the
other
courses
after
right,
correct,
okay,
all
right
good,
the
other.
What
do
you?
What
do
you
say
to
to
to
to
the
length
of
the
contract?
It
does
seem
like
a
lengthy
contract
and
I'm
curious.
F
AN
You
councilmember
John
ciccarelli
here
we're
pleased
with
the
length
of
the
contract
we
purposefully
went
for
a
length
like
this.
AN
It
makes
the
most
business
sense
to
have
a
longer
term
deal
that
doesn't
mean
that
we
are
obligated
to
fulfill
all
25
years
that
are
eligible
in
this,
but
in
the
early
years
we
did
put
in
things
to
protect
the
operator
because
we're
expecting
them
to
invest
capital
and
they
need
to
recover
that
over
some
period
of
time,
but
we
do
have
options
along
the
way
after
the
first
five
years,
where
we
can
more
directly
look
at
well,
do
we
want
to
do
something
different
here
or
not,
but
generally
speaking,
we
want
to
see
one
operator
perform
well
for
25
years
on
this
site.
F
And
it
is
safe
to
say
that
there's
a
exit
clause,
if
you
will,
assuming
things,
don't
go
well
and
here,
10,
yes,
okay,
all
right
cool
and
I,
assume
Nora
and
her
office
have
looked
over.
The
other
question
I
had
was
related
to
page
seven.
It
talks
about
Community
use,
which
I
think
is
very
important
to
to
match
up
with
our
city,
and
so
what
I'm
curious
about?
The
the
first
bullet
point
says:
expending
access
for
residents,
City,
Driving
regions,
lessons
and
golf
courses
by
allocating
Finance
supporting
twenty
five
thousand
dollars.
F
Good
but
I
think
it's
a
wonderful
thing
and
so
I'd
be
curious.
Obviously,
I
don't
have
in
front
of
me
sort
of
the
details
of
the
the
the
the
the
contract.
If
you
will
and
So
within
the
language
of
the
agreement,
is
it
worked
out
as
to
how
they
plan
to
do
that
because
I
imagine
some
folks
aren't
going
to
know
that
that
exists
or
they're.
Can
you
talk
a
little
bit
about
how
we
expect
that
they're
going
to
publicize
the
fact
that
that
exists.
AT
Thank
you,
council
member.
So
that's
that's
the
conversation
we're
having
right
now
with
corsco
about
how
to,
as
you
say,
make
it
make
it
known
to
the
community
that
this
new
means
for
accessing
the
facilities
as
available.
So
we
definitely
expect
them
to
to
outreach
to
to
the
council
offices
that
are
in
the
that
these
golf
courses
are
in
as
well
as
the
immediate
neighborhoods
they
serve
first
and
foremost,
to
make
sure
that
those
amazing
assets
serve
those
immediate
neighbors.
AT
But
then,
beyond
that,
through
traditional
and
and
kind
of
modern
Outreach
tools,
whether
it's
social
media
or
otherwise,.
F
Okay,
very
good
and
then
the
other,
along
that
same
like
a
bullet
or
two
down
from
that
it
says
ensuring
at
least
one
first
green
event
per
year
per
golf
course
and
connecting
with
schools.
One
of
the
things
I
think
it's
important
that
to
make
sure
that's
very
clear,
is
that
you
know
well,
we
I
think
most
of
us
know
that
there
are
actually
some
high
schools
that
have
golf
programs
which
is
good
for
them
right,
but
they're
all
oftentimes.
These
will
to
do
high
schools,
like
ballet
Christian,
for
example.
F
That
actually
has
a
golf
program.
So
my
hope
is
that
in
this
particular
space,
when
they
are
going
to
be
connecting
with
schools,
it
isn't
necessarily
knows
what
the
golf
programs
right
I
think
that's
an
easy
lift
to
bring
Ballard
Christian
in
there.
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
that
diversity
of
sort
of
connection
to
the
schools
that
aren't
traditionally
sort
of
involved
with
that
get
Outreach
and
I'm
curious.
How
we
intend
to
make
that
make
sure
that's
the
case.
AT
Thank
you,
council,
member,
so
again,
I
think
this
is
a
one
of
those
areas
where
we
focus
locally.
First,
so
I
think
ensuring
that
Los
Lagos
Rancho
de
Pueblo
and
San
Jose
Municipal
Outreach
to
the
schools
that
are
in
their
backyard,
and
that
is
where
an
area
where
we've
seen
course
guys
our
operator
at
Los
Lagos
in
Rancho,
have
some
past
work.
AT
So,
for
instance,
at
Rancho
Del
Pueblo
there
have
been
they
have
hosted
annual
events
by
the
Allen,
Rock,
Unified,
School,
District
and
others,
but
I
think
again
start
local
focus
on
the
immediate
schools.
F
Very
good-
and
the
last
thing
I
would
say,
is
you
know,
probably
the
the
current
operator,
which
is
the
operator
for
Grant
team,
is
two
properties
are
going
to
want
to
hear
this,
but
I
was
actually
at
Los
Lagos.
Yesterday
I
popped
by
just
to
check
it
out.
You
know
the
conditions
of
the
bathroom
whenever
such
facilities
they
it
certainly
left
something
to
be
desired
and
I
would
I
I
would
hope
is
that
this
new
contract
actually
elevates
that
and
so
I
just
wanted
to
express
that
concern.
F
I
would
also
say
that
when
I
went
to
the
counter
to
purchase
something
I,
don't
know
the
gentleman's
name,
but
there
was
a
person
that
assisted
me.
I
insert
inserted
my
credit
card,
the
person
actually
reached
over
and
signed
for
me
and
I
asked
him.
Did
you
just
sign
for
me
and
he
says
yeah?
F
Recently
you
can
really
be
addressed,
and
so
that
that
is
just
an
expression
of
concern
that
I
saw
firsthand
and
so
I
just
wanted
to
lift
that
up
for
whatever
that's
worth
and
those
are
all
the
comments
and
questions
I
have.
Thank
you.
C
Yeah,
thank
you.
Councilman.
Thanks
for
sharing
that
experience
with
us,
I
know,
staff
will
follow
up.
Okay,
we
have
a
few
hands
up:
let's
go
to
councilmember
Ortiz
next
Maybe,
oh
I'm,
sorry
I
was
councilor
Foley.
Also
online
I
apologize,
councilmember
Ortiz,
you
mind.
If
we
let
councilmember
fully
go,
go
ahead.
Councilmember.
BO
And
worries
I
have
some
questions
regarding
the
allegations
of
conflict
of
interest
and
collusion
and
Staff
address
those
comments
and
why
they
are
satisfied
that
that
does
not
exist
and
then
I'd
like
to
hear
from
Nora.
On
that
sure.
AN
Thank
you,
council
member,
and
we
did
consult
with
the
city
attorney's
office
in
this
process,
including
the
responses
to
the
appeal
or
the
protest.
I
should
say
so.
The
the
application
inclusion
here
is
inappropriately
used
in
this
situation.
The
collusion
is
meant
to
stop.
The
conclusion
that's
being
referred
to
and
quoted
in
the
ordinances
is
actually
referred
to
the
bidders
so
the
so.
This
would
be,
if
say,
two
of
the
bidders
colluded
with
each
other
to
somehow
put
one
over
on
the
city.
AN
AN
You
know
how
do
we
keep
and
retain
all
the
employees
at
that
location
and
that
location,
Muni
golf
that
was
such
a
long-term
agreement,
that
it
pre-existed
any
requirements
of
living
wage
and
things
like
that,
so
they
knew
they
were
going
to
have
to
incorporate
those
costs
into
their
bids
that
these
people
at
Muni
were
going
to
get
a
raise
up
to
living
wage
as
this
contract
changed.
So
there
was
no
collusion
between
them
or
Us
and
Them.
BO
Okay
and
Nora
you're
satisfied
with
that
as
well.
W
BO
That's
some
question:
thank
you.
I
I,
the
allegations
are
very
serious,
I
believe
and
I
take
them
to
heart,
but,
more
importantly,
I
take
to
heart
the
condition
of
our
golf
courses
and
I'm
particularly
curious
about
agreeing
or
or
the
recommendation
to
offer
a
15-year
lease
agreement
with
two
five-year
terms,
with
a
golf
course
that
golf
courses
that
are
not
in
very
good
condition,
I
don't
play
golf,
but
I.
I
too,
like
council
member
Jimenez,
actually
went
by
Los
Lagos
a
couple
of
days
ago
and
took
a
look
at
it.
BO
It
didn't
look
like
it
was
in
very
good
condition
to
me
not
being
a
professional
golfer
or
even
a
much
of
a
golfer
at
all.
I
could
barely
Putt-Putt,
but
the
commenters.
Here.
The
public
comments
were
very
concerning
as
to
the
condition
of
the
the
course
so
I'm
wondering
who
is
liable
for
the
condition
of
the
course
and
any
injuries
I'm
concerned
about
the
city
being
ultimately
responsible
as
the
owner
of
the
property,
whether
the
tenant
is
taking
care
of
the
property
or
not.
BO
So
what
kind
of
protections
do
we
have
in
the
lease
to
ensure
that
they
will
indemnify
us
against
any
lawsuit
because
of
condition
or
injuries?.
AT
Thank
you,
council,
member
aviaton,
deputy
director
of
parks.
So,
as
we
look
to
this
upcoming
lease
agreement,
it
will
include
defined
maintenance
standards
that
we
will
hold.
The
lessee
accountable
to
our
practice
has
been
to
always
hold
monthly
meetings
and
we
inspect
the
facilities.
AT
In
terms
of
the
the
questions
you
asked
about
indemnification
again,
these
are
the
the
properties.
Are
the
responsibility,
of
course,
go
and
I'm
looking
to
our
City
attorney
to
fill
in
a
little
bit
more,
there.
R
Still
to
be
negotiated,
but
it
our
office
would
require
because
it's
City
policy,
the
standard
types
of
terms
with
agreements
like
this,
so
indemnification
would
be
required.
Insurance
would
be
required.
Those
kinds
of
things.
BO
Okay,
thank
you
regarding
the
Capital
Improvements
and
the
capital
contributions
looks
like
the
contract
is
calling
for
2
million
to
be
spent
by
corsco
in
Capital
Improvements,
but
it's
not
all
at
once.
It
looks
to
me
like
we're
requiring
five
over
a
five-year
period.
Four
hundred
thousand
dollars
each
year
is
that
correct.
AT
Council
members,
so
first
you
are
correct
that
it
would
not
be
all
at
once
what
what
we'd
expect
is
that
the
two
million
dollars
from
corsco
would
be
spent
over
several
years,
and
we
would
we
would
seek
from
them
under
the
contract
and
annual
Capital
Improvement
plan,
that
staff
would
review
and
approve
the
five
years
of
400
000
refers
to
money
that,
through
the
negotiation,
we
would
like
course,
code
to
put
towards
further
Capital
Improvement
in
lieu
of
paying.
That
amount
is
rent.
AT
BO
AN
It's
not
a
unique
provision
in
these
sorts
of
things,
in
particular,
when
you
look
at
the
city
where
there's
no
2
million
or
4
million
identified
to
do
improvements
at
these
golf
courses
from
our
side
of
the
ledger.
So
this
is
one
of
the
ways
to
make
that
happen.
Meanwhile,
we
are
still
making
profit
off
a
lease.
It's
it's
not
taking
up
the
full
lease.
We
will
still
make
Revenue
as
a
city
and
there
will
be
continued
investment
in
the
properties.
BO
Okay,
so
so
let
me
understand
the
improvements,
because
I'm
I
am
focused
on
the
poor
condition
of
the
courses
right
now
or
the
how
members
of
the
public
have
commented
about
the
poor
conditions
of
the
golf
courses,
so
we
access.
Let's
say
we
agree
to
this
today
and
you
enter
negotiate.
Well,
you
you
prepare
the
contract
at
what
point
does
do
we
take
a
look
at
the
improvements
or
require
or
re
or
submit
to
corsco
the
list
of
requirements
of
improvements
that
they
need
to
do?
First
and
foremost,
when
does
that
happen.
AT
Councilmember,
so
we
included
an
initial
list
of
require
of
improvements
in
the
RFP
document
itself,
which
include
a
number
of
things
so,
for
instance,
at
Los,
Lagos
golf
course.
We
know
that
we
have
to
spend
quite
a
bit
of
money
to
repair
the
cart
Pathways
at
the
San
Jose
Municipal
Golf
Course.
We
need
to
improve
the
irrigation,
the
bunkers
at
all
the
facilities.
BO
BO
AN
There
are
quite
a
few,
not
the
least
of
which
is
the
the
operator
of
Muni
Golf
Course
will
conclude
operating
at
the
end
of
this
month,
so
that's
problematic
for
us,
but,
more
importantly,
it
will
take
quite
a
bit
of
time.
It
took
us
what
six
months
to
do
this
procurement,
so
we
would
have
to
figure
out
how
to
make
that
work.
At
least
for
that
period
of
time,
it's
not
been
our
indication
that
the
current
operator
at
Muni
wants
to
keep
going.
At
least
they
want
to
be
done
with
it.
AN
The
operator
himself
actually
lives
down
in
Paso
Robles
and
is
on
the
retirement
track
and
he's
trying
to
divest
himself
I
believe
so
that
would
be
problematic,
but,
put
all
that
aside,
we
don't
believe,
there's
any
cause
to
rebid
this.
We
think
this
RFP
was
clean.
It
was
done
fairly
and
despite
the
allegations
being
made,
none
of
that
happened.
So
it
is
certainly
not
a
recommendation
to
start
over
again.
H
Thank
you
mayor
and
thank
you
John
and
Abby
for
the
report
and
presentation.
I
just
want
to
start
my
comments
by
saying.
H
I'm,
excited
and
I
have
excitement
for,
what's
in
the
future,
to
see
this
fantastic
opportunity
that
carries
with
it
Financial
Savvy
environmental
considerations
but
above
all
the
type
of
Engagement
that
creates
impacts
in
our
communities
gifted
to
the
city
in
2000,
Rancho
Del
Pueblo
provides
recreational
golf
plane
for
residents
in
East,
San
Jose,
and
they
have
a
great
partnership
with
our
Alum
Rock
Unified
School
District,
which
I
know
a
lot
of
the
youth.
Definitely
appreciate
now.
H
I
know
that
there's
been
a
lot
of
controversy
over
the
future
of
the
golf
course,
ranging
from
rumors
of
it
becoming
affordable
housing
or
offering
a
different
sort
of
sport
or
recreational
activities
such
as
soccer
or
or
baseball,
because
I
know
that
some
members
don't
really
see
the
especially
in
our
Latino
community
that
we
don't
have
a
lot
of
golfers
in
East
and
East
San
Jose,
but
that
that
the
fact
that
golf
feels
so
foreign
to
us.
H
That's
why
it's
important
to
have
these
spaces
and
opportunities
for
our
youth
to
both
learn
and
Excel
in
this
in
this
sport,
and
this
contract
ensures
that
our
residents
feel
secure
that
the
golf
course
will
be
here
for
several
years
to
come.
So
I
am
supportive.
I
wanted
to
move
into
a
few
questions
as
we
move
into
the
RFP
I
wanted
to
ensure
that
no
current
staff
are
getting
laid
off
or
left
behind
during
the
transition.
AT
So,
as
you
indicated
that
that
was
part
of
course
goes
bid
to
us
to
retain
San,
Jose,
Municipal,
Golf,
Course
employees,
so
I
would
say
that's
something
that
we
can
look
to
add
into
this
lease
before
we
finalize
it,
and
certainly
never
want
to
take
away
an
employee's
agency.
A
AT
H
That
I
appreciate
that
intentionality
when
it
comes
to
community
usage
of
the
facility.
Actually
one
of
one
of
the
more
parts
of
the
agreement
that
I'm
more
excited
about
when
it
comes
to
the
usage,
is
there
funding
attached
to
that
usage?
For
example?
Would
courseco
provide
money
for
like
a
movie
night
or
I?
Don't
know
event
on
the
golf
course,
or
is
that
required
by
the
organizing
party
to
provide.
H
So
there
is
the
ability
they
want
to
do
more
Community
engagement.
They
want
to
invite
activities.
Events
on
the
golf
course
is
corscope,
providing
any
sort
of
funds
for
that,
or
is
that
the
responsibility
of
neighborhood
associations
or
parties
that
want
to
work
correct.
H
BK
I
guess
it
depends
on
the
event
and
kind
of
what's
required
like
if
they
have
to
run
a
movie
screen,
for
example,
for
the
the
movie
night
or
they're
doing
like
a
paint
night,
and
they
they
purchase
the
supplies.
For
that.
So
it
depends
on
the
event.
As
far
as
the
amount.
H
Wonderful
I
I
appreciate
that
really
excited
for
the
possibilities
in
that
in
that
area.
As
we
look
forward
to
Capital
Improvements
at
the
courses,
I
I
strongly
urge
that
we
consider
using
permeable
pavement
for
Pathways
and
driveways
as
an
effective
and
efficient
way
to
ensure
groundwater
filtration
and
hit
on
our
commitments
for
environmental
stewardship.
I
know
that
there's
a
huge
cost
Effectiveness
within
this
solution,
I
mean
this
was
actually
suggested
by
youth
in
my
district.
So
I
just
wanted
to
raise
that
to
your
attention,
but
thank
you
for
your
thoughtful
answers.
H
This
would
be
like
a
super
center
for
our
youth
here
in
East,
San
Jose
and
parents
could
drop
off
their
kiddos,
knowing
that
they're
going
to
be
safe
and
programs
that
are
being
provided
to
the
community,
but
I'm
thankful
for
the
work
and
I
would
like
to
move
to
accept
the
report
and
adopt
the
resolution.
Second,.
T
You
know
a
few
years
ago
I
mean
for
over
the
years
there
have
been
discussion
about
closing
some
of
these
golf
courses
about
using
the
land
for
other
things
about
how
this
isn't
something
we
should
keep
in
the
middle
of
the
city
and
I'm
I'm
glad
we're
at
a
different
place
now,
where
we're
actually
Contracting
to
keep
them
open
and
offer
this
opportunity
when
I
was
at
Pueblo,
Rancho,
Rancho,
I,
guess
last
last
year
to
see
the
first
tea
program.
T
I
just
saw
the
joy
in
the
face
of
kids
and
how
many
students
from
that
part
of
the
city
are
learning
golf,
because
that
that
is
there
and
so
I'm
really
glad
to
see
The
First
Tee
as
part
of
this,
that
they're
going
to
be
contracted
with
to
continue
that
program.
T
I'm
sad
that
municipal
golf
courses
no
longer
in
District
Four,
but
it
was
a
great
it's
great
to
be
right.
I,
have
it
right
on
the
border
and
back
to
the
you
know
the
question
about
the
about
the
quality
of
the
golf
courses.
I
mean
we
know
that
actually
San
Jose
Mutual
golf
course
is
in
pretty
good
shape.
That's
the
one
golf
course
that
has
a
motive,
a
profit
motive
from
the
operator,
and
so
they
actually
keep
it
in
shape.
T
So
I'm
hopeful
that
we'll
see
that
kind
of
care
at
the
other
golf
courses
as
well
couple
questions
my
I
guess.
My
first
question
is:
is
there
a
minimum
guarantee
in
this
contract?
You
said
something
about
if
we,
if
the
courses
have
the
same
kind
of
Revenue
as
the
last
few
years,
we'd
be
seeing
about
one
and
a
half
million
dollars
a
year.
What
is
the
minimum
annual
lease
that
we
would
receive,
or
is
there
a
minimum.
AT
Councilmember
great
question,
so
this
this
would
not
include
a
defined
minimum.
So
there's
no.
If
the
courses
are
not
operating-
and
there
are
no
golf
course-
no
golfers,
no
income,
the
city
would
get
zero
payment,
but
the
requirement
for
the
Course
Maintenance
would
continue
based
on
even
even
kind
of
the
low
point.
In
golf,
let's
say:
2018
2019.
The
gross
revenues
in
that
year
would
have
been
about
nine
to
ten
million.
So
under.
AT
T
But
that's
good
because
in
some
years
recently
we've
had
losses
and
we've
had
to
shoulder
those
losses.
In
this
case,
the
risk
is
with
the
operator,
with
course,
code
and
not
with
the
city.
So
it's
important
context
in
terms
of
going
forward
we're
you
know
we're
going
to
keep
this.
This
asset
Avail
make
the
asset
remain
available,
but
we're
not
going
to
be
risking
any
losses
to
the
city
that
we
had
before.
T
One
of
the
reasons
why
people
work
calling
for
us
to
close
golf
courses
was
that
that
risk
to
the
city-
and
when
is
this
contract,
it
takes
effect
pretty
quickly
because
muni's
closing
and
their
current
operating
wants
to
leave
quickly.
So
when
would
the
contract
take
effect,.
T
So
we're
really
really
soon.
The
only
other
comment
I'll
make
is,
you
know,
I'm
satisfied
with
the
comments
about
the
overall
quality
of
the
bids
and
the
the
question
of
collusion
legal
questions.
I
do
have
one
concern
which
seemed
to
be
raised
and
it's
not
necessarily
a
problem
with
the
process,
except
that
this
is
more.
T
Can
you
please
provide
it
if
you
know
if,
if
you
intended
to
because
I
I
do
hate
the
idea
that
we're
sometimes
just
saying
well,
the
system
messed
up
and
therefore
we're
not
you
know
the
applicant
suffers
as
a
result,
probably
not
a
question
for
you
more
of
a
technical
question,
but
also
I
guess
from
a
bidding
process.
You
know
we
ought
to
be
looking
at
these
applications
and
looking
for
those
voids.
AN
Well,
we
don't
agree
that
there
was
any
problem
with
the
submission
application.
We
just
believe
it
was
incomplete.
However,
it
is
a.
It
is
a
larger
question
around
procurement
about
whether
you
can
go
back
after
the
deadline
has
closed.
We
don't
and
it's
against
our
procurement
rules,
so
to
do
that
we
would
probably
have
to
have.
The
council
would
have
to
have
that
larger
conversation
attorney
city
manager,
Finance
Etc,
about
how
you
change
the
procurement
rules,
but
once
the
door
is
closed,
the
door
is
closed
and
we're
not
allowed
to
go
back
and
help.
T
Okay,
I'll,
just
I,
guess
I'll
put
that
on
the
on
the
back
burner
for
a
future
meeting
with
our
technical
team
and
our
procurement
office
about
how
we
determine
whether
missing
information
is
necessarily
the
fault
of
the
applicant
or
maybe
a
technical
glitch
that
we
ought
to
be
able
to
correct
so
we'll
leave
that
for
there
and
come
back
and
talk
about
it
later.
Thank
you.
AV
Thank
you
thanks
to
us
for
the
staff
for
the
work
on
this
RFP
I
was
really
excited
to
see
the
community
use
aspect
of
this
since
golf
is
historically
considered.
Rich
person
Sport
and
the
fact
that
you
know
we
are
we're
working
to
making
it
affordable
and
accessible
for
everyone
in
our
in
our
city
is
is
fantastic.
AV
A
question
on
the
on
the
community
use
aspect.
Does
that
also
include
equipment?
Golf
clubs,
tees
balls,
et
cetera,
et
cetera,.
BK
So
there's
non-um
golf
events
that
would
occur,
and
so
those
obviously
wouldn't
but
like
the
first
tea,
for
example,
that
coordinates
and
and
does
the
youth
programming
of
Brent
Rancho.
They
do
have
equipment
on
site
for
the
Youth
to
use
during
those
events,
okay,.
AV
Perfect
and
so
just
my
my
thoughts
is,
you
know
as
we
as
we
think
about
these
programming,
let's
think
about
the
equipment
that
comes
along
with
it,
because
a
lot
of
times
that
we
want
to
participate,
our
community
wants
to
participate.
AV
We
won't
have
the
golf
clubs,
we
don't
have
the
shoes,
so
that
would
be
a
good
component
to
to
lower
barriers
for
everybody
in
our
community,
as
part
of
this
and
and
so
and
lastly,
as
part
of
the
partnership
with
the
school
districts,
I
also
encourage
prns
and
and
to
work
with
our
Council
offices
on
these
events
and
programming
going
into
the
future.
Thank
you.
P
AT
So
I
would
definitely
expect.
Thank
you
councilmember
for
the
question.
I
would
definitely
expect
them
to
to
remain
San
Jose
Municipal,
Golf
Courses.
They
will
that
we're
not
anticipating
any
name
changes.
In
fact,
one
of
the
projects
that
corsco
has
been
interested
in
is
is
adding
better
signage
in
multiple
languages
again
in
the
spirit
of
making
the
spaces
more
inviting
to
all
members
of
the
community.
But
what
we're
looking
at
is
a
San
Jose
golf
courses
very.
C
I
did
have
one
question
that
I
hope
is
a
short
one
which
has
to
do
with
water,
so
I'm
sure
our
golf
courses
are
looking
pretty
good
right
now,
but,
as
I
was
listening
to
some
of
the
comments
during
public
comment
about
the
the
maintenance
of
the
facility,
the
look
and
feel
of
the
course
I
was
suspecting
that
it's
probably
particularly
difficult
during
times
of
drought,
to
keep
the
courses
looking
as
nice
as
people
would
like
and
I'm
just
curious.
C
As
we
look
ahead,
we
know
we
will
once
again
have
a
drought
at
some
point.
What
does
that
mean
for
both
the
cost,
but
also
just
the
physical
appearance
of
the
golf
courses?
And
what
what
should
we
expect?
Are
we
going
to
be
having
conversations
in
a
few
years
where
we're
in
a
drought
and
we're
suddenly
looking
at
either
costs
that
we
didn't
anticipate
and
that's
affecting
the
pro
forma
here
in
some
way,
or
just
a
lot
of
complaints
from
unhappy
residents?.
AT
Thank
you
mayor
for
that
question.
So
I'll
actually
I'll
start
at
that
last
part
in
terms
of
cost,
which
again
is
the
benefit
of
this
lease
model,
where
the
maintenance
responsibility
is
the
lessees
and
the
costs
are
not
directed
to
the
city
in
terms
of
our
sustainability
that
that
is
a
topic
that's
front
of
mind
for
us.
AT
So
through
the
expansion
of
the
city's
recycled
water
Network,
the
purple
pipe
Network
already
the
San
Jose
Municipal,
Golf,
Course
and
Los
Lagos
are
served
primarily
by
recycled
water
and
there
are.
There
are
discussions
about
expanding
that
Network
and
our
department
has
has
very
much
advocated
going
straight
down.
King
Road,
you
hit
so
many
great
Parks
as
council
member
Ortiz
mentioned
whether
it's
Rancho
Del
Pueblo
pal
I'm,
a
prus
Farm,
Park,
Plateau,
Royal,
Park
and
more
yeah
yeah.
AT
AT
C
E
AE
C
Thank
you.
Thank
you
that
let
me
just
confer
with
my
colleagues
we
have.
We
have
one
agendized
item
left
I
would
like
to
push
through.
If
that's
okay,
there
is
some
food
in
the
back
for
folks
who
need
it.
But
may
we
proceed
is
that
okay
with
everybody?
Okay,
great,
thank
you.
Why
don't
we
move
then
to
item
8.1?
C
S
Good
evening,
mayor
and
Council,
my
name
is
Rachel
vanderveen
and
I'm.
The
assistant
director
of
the
housing
department
I,
am
joined
this
evening
by
Jackie
Morales
brand,
the
director
of
Housing
and
banu-san
our
housing
policy
and
planning
administrator,
who
is
responsible
for
managing
our
affordable
housing
development
team.
S
This
affordable
housing
development
is
located
on
South
Almaden
Avenue
and
will
create
98
new,
affordable
homes
for
low
and
extremely
low
income
families.
The
amaden
development
also
includes
25
permanent
Supportive
Housing
units
creating
homes
for
our
homeless
residents.
This
proposed
development
will
serve
families.
Nearly
half
of
the
homes
are
two
and
three
bedroom
apartments.
S
This
development
is
currently
exploring
the
possibility
of
placing
a
Child
Care
Center
in
the
first
on
the
first
floor
space,
and
this
space
would
could
accommodate
12,
Toddlers
and
12
preschoolers
and
would
have
some
outdoor
activity
space
as
well.
Other
amenities
just
to
be
aware
of
is
that
there
is
a
courtyard
that's
going
to
be
available
for
all
of
the
residents
and
is
located
very
conveniently
near
transportation.
Q
An
affordable
housing
development
generally
requires
multiple
funding
sources
that
includes
both
private
and
public
financing.
There
is
a
bank
loan
and
an
equity
investor
that
represents
49
of
the
total
financing.
51
of
the
financing
comes
from
public
sources
that
include
the
state,
the
city
of
San
Jose
and
the
county.
Q
The
approximate
251
thousand
dollar
per
unit
cost
is
lower
than
our
maximum
gap
of
325
per
unit
that
was
approved
by
the
city
council
last
year.
In
exchange
for
this
investment,
the
city
will
own
the
land
and
will
receive
a
55-year
affordability
restriction
that
will
provide
ongoing,
affordable
housing
for
numerous
individuals
and
households.
Q
Q
Q
Four-Fifths
of
that
amount
went
towards
tax
subsidies
for
homeowners,
such
as
the
mortgage
interest
rate
deduction
home
office
deduction
and
mortgage
Point
deductions.
These
subsidies
mainly
benefit
higher
income
homeowners,
while
low-income
and
extremely
low-income
renters
struggle
to
find
affordable
housing.
S
S
So
what
we
learned
through
this
development
is
that
material
and
labor
costs
increased
from
50
to
60
million
dollars
over
a
one
year
period
of
trying
to
gather
the
estimates
and
getting
ready
for
this.
So
the
latest
numbers
came
from
January
2023
at
60
million
dollars,
which
was
a
19.8
percent
increase.
S
This
was
something
that
was
not
contemplated
when
the
original
request
came
to
our
department,
but
now
is
something
that
we
need
to
understand.
In
order
for
the
project
to
be
able
to
move
forward,
Additionally,
the
banks
have
required
higher
contingencies
in
order
to
buffer
increased
costs
that
are
coming
up
because,
essentially,
as
costs
are
rising
this
rapidly,
the
lenders
are
requiring
higher
contingencies
to
make
sure
that,
even
through
the
construction
period
that
there's
allowances
to
cover
additional
increased
costs.
S
Secondly,
interest
rates
have
increased,
so
we
are
all
aware
of
this,
but
it's
really
interesting
to
look
at
it
on
a
project
basis,
and
so
what
has
happened
for
this
development
is
that
quotes
for
interest
rates
for
the
construction
loan
from
early
2022
were
sitting
right.
Around
four
percent
and
in
early
2023
have
moved
to
eight
percent
rates
on
the
permanent
loan
are
very
similar
and
have
also
moved
up
to
over
seven
percent.
S
S
S
Our
team
was
able
to
do
an
analysis
of
all
the
affordable
housing
developments
submitted
to
sidlak,
which
is
the
California
debt
limit
allocation
committee
over
the
past
year,
and
what
was
really
interesting
is
that
you
can
see
right
where
the
yellow
bar
is
here
for
797
Almaden,
and
what
that
shows.
You
is
the
average
area
median
income
served
by
this
development.
So
what
you
can
see
is
even
across
the
state,
this
income
level
is
not
being
met.
S
We
took
a
look
at
the
the
relationship
between
the
area,
median
income
served
and
the
cost
of
development,
and
it
is
clear
that,
as
you
provide
housing
for
the
hardest
to
serve,
there
is
increased
costs.
S
But
we
wanted
to
talk
tonight
about
the
broader
issue
that
this
development
raises,
which
is
at
the
cost
of
affordable
housing
development,
is
very
challenging
so
moving
forward.
We
recognize
that
the
cost
for
affordable
housing
development
must
be
reduced.
We
are
setting
a
goal
to
reduce
this
cost
by
15
percent
over
the
coming
three
years
and
we
have
three
strategies
to
move
forward
this
goal.
S
And
third,
we
will
consider
options
for
consolidating
funding
applications
that
will
help
to
reduce
the
cost
of
having
the
multiple
layers
of
financing
in
affordable
housing
and,
finally,
we're
going
to
take
the
work
that
has
already
been
completed.
This
past
fall.
We
came
to
council
and
provided
a
full
report
on
both
the
cost
of
market
and
affordable
housing
development,
and
what
we
intend
to
do
is
to
revisit
that
work.
Take
a
look
at
that
and
and
identify
the
causes
and
the
differences
between
market
rate
and
affordable
housing
and
start
tackling
them.
One
by
one.
Q
Foreign
ly
just
to
end
I
wanted
to
let
you
know
there
is
a
pipeline
of
affordable
housing
developments
that
are
in
completing
their
entitlements
and
either
have
a
conditional
approval
or
waiting
for
the
city
to
release
additional
funding.
We
have
four
remaining
developments
that
have
conditional
approvals
from
our
2021
nofa.
These
four
developments
are
working
through
the
entitlement
process
due
to
Rising
costs
that
we
discussed
just
earlier.
We
estimate
we
need
an
addition.
We
need
93
million
to
produce
519
new,
affordable
homes.
Q
Currently
we
have
identified
70
million
that
we
can
use
for
affordable
housing
development.
This
includes
funds
from
the
in-loo
program
fees
generated
by
our
inclusionary
housing
program,
loan
repayments
from
the
low
moderate
income,
housing
fund
and
measure
e
development
funds.
We
will
still
need
an
additional
20
million
dollars
next
year
to
meet
our
2011
nofa
conditional
approvals.
Q
In
addition,
we
also
have
three
wait:
listed
projects
that
have
595
units
that
need
an
additional
51
million
in
funding.
These
developments
include
Cathedral
Faith,
which
has
237
apartments
that
they're
working
on
and
finally,
we
have
developments
that
have
responded
to
our
own
RFP
that
we're
working
on
designs
and
the
entitlement
process
to
be
built
on
city-owned
land.
These
include
affordable
apartments
at
West,
Community,
Center,
South,
Side,
Community
Center
and
the
Google
land
donation
at
Autumn
and
Montgomery.
Q
In
total,
we've
identified
close
to
1700
units
of
affordable
rental
housing
in
eight
affordable
for
sale
homes
that
will
need
either
a
funding,
commitment
or
conditional
funding
commitment
starting
next
fiscal
year
and
going
up
to
2024..
This
list
is
not
inclusive
of
other
developments
that
are
working
through
the
entitlement
process.
According
to
a
recent
study
released
by
Enterprise,
there
are
88,
affordable
housing
developments
in
Santa,
Clara
County
that
include
close
to
11
000,
affordable
apartments
in
our
region.
Q
So
I
do
want
to
just
take
the
time
to
recognize
everyone
who
has
helped
us
to
get
this
project
to
this
state.
We
have
our
development
Partners,
who
are
here
tonight.
We
also
work
very
closely
with
the
planning
staff
to
get
these
projects
over
the
goal
line,
Shasta
green
as
our
attorney,
who
has
provided
at
least
during
my
10
years,
15
years
of
amazing
support
to
the
housing
department
and
then
our
own
housing
staff
that
continues
to
work
very
hard
in
delivering
quality,
affordable
housing
projects.
C
Thank
you,
Jackie
and
Rachel
I
appreciate
the
presentation,
and
especially
you
broadening
out
to
include
some
discussion
of
an
issue
that
I
know
for
many
of
us
is
a
growing
concern.
Just
this
very
high
cost
of
construction.
That's
grown
tremendously
in
recent
years.
So
look
forward
to
talking
a
little
more
about
that
as
we
come
back
to
council,
why
don't
we
go
to
public
comment?
First.
BP
Catalyze
SV
has
scored
over
50
projects
in
the
last
five
years
and
we're
starting
to
see
more
projects
include
Child
Care
on
site,
and
so
I
was
really
excited
when
we
saw
that
resources
for
Community
Development
is
considering
Child
Care
on
this
site.
Although
this
is
not
a
project
that
our
members
had
a
chance
to
score,
we
are
excited
because
this
is
a
real
growing
need
in
our
community.
We
have
food
deserts
where
there
aren't
enough
grocery
stores.
BP
Next
Thursday
from
four
to
seven
at
the
Campbell
Community
Center,
there
will
be
interpretation,
Services,
free
food
and
child
care
services
available.
So
we
hope
it
is
an
extremely
inclusive
event
and
that
it
will
drive
more
discussions
about
how
we
build
spaces
in
San
Jose
and
across
Silicon
Valley
for
women
and
children
great
job
tonight,
you
all
thanks
for
your
time.
D
You're,
low
speaking
path
of
destination,
home
I'm
just
very
excited
to
register
our
support
for
this
new,
affordable
housing
development,
as
you've
heard.
This
is
precisely
what
we
need
to
address
our
severe
housing
and
homelessness
crisis.
We're
excited
to
see
units
reserved
for
people
exiting
homelessness,
the
Deep
affordability,
the
larger
units
that
will
be
huge
as
we
try
to
really
focus
in
on
solving
family
homelessness
in
our
community
and
we
hope
you'll
approve
it
today.
D
AR
Good
evening
Council,
my
name
is
Albert
Lucio
with
the
Northern
California
Providence
Local
Union
405.,
it's
great
to
see
that
we
have
a
project
that
promotes
housing
in
our
community
San
Jose,
but
we
often
forget
to
think
about
the
worthless,
wants
to
build
a
project
and
they
need
a
responsible
contractor
that
promotes
area
level
standards
in
our
community.
The
importance
of
having
a
liberal
wage
is
because
it
helps
our
community.
AR
Our
working
men
and
women
be
able
to
balance
wages,
we're
creating
inflation
rate
that
has
Skyrock
in
the
last
few
years
to
be
able
to
afford
rent
in
our
community
and
provide
basic
needs
for
a
family.
We
need
a
livable
wage
is
a
necessity
for
All
Humans.
We
cannot
have
more
members
of
our
community
not
seek
medical
attention
because
of
employee
employer
does
not
provide
any
health
care
benefits.
Instead,
they
become
a
burned
to
a
system,
apprenticeship
programs.
AR
It
provides
a
path
path
away
from
minorities,
women,
a
res
youth
into
the
construction
industry,
and
it
gives
a
working
class.
The
working-class
citizens,
the
skills
and
scrambling
shifts
to
build
the
projects
and
it
also
a
shot
to
the
American
Dreams
by
hiring
locally,
ensure
the
decisions
have
more
time
to
spend
with
their
families,
get
involved
in
their
communities
and
instead,
instead
of
spending
time
on
the
road
trying
to
make
ends
meet.
AR
G
Thank
you,
so
I
do
have
a
couple.
A
couple
questions
before
I
I
go
on
to
my
my
talking
points
without
maybe
this
is
probably
a
question
to
rcd,
but
without
this
loan
commitment,
what
would
be
the
likelihood
of
this
project
making
its
way
to
construction
anytime
soon,.
AY
X
Mayor
and
council
members
Alicia
Klein
again
from
rcd,
and
this
is
an
instrumental
investment
in
for
the
development.
The
local
contribution
is
usually
the
first
and
the
last
piece
of
fun
funding
that
comes
in
and
it's
what
the
state
looks
to
to
see.
Does
this
community
support
this
development?
If
there's
not
a
local
commitment,
the
state
is
really
not
interested
in
supporting
the
development,
and
so
until
we
have
the
local
funding
commitment,
we're
not
going
to
be
able
to
secure
the
rest
of
the
financing,
which
is
the
largest
share,
and
so
it
is
critical.
G
Q
G
Great
I
mean
not
great
that
we
didn't
meet
it,
but
thank
you
for
the
great
that
you
answered
it,
because
the
answer
that
we
were
that
we
were
looking
for
so
I
think
before
before
before
I
motion.
G
So
in
terms
of
local
contributions,
the
city
is,
is
subsidizing
about
250
000
per
door
for
this
project
right
just
so,
we
can
yes
be
on
record
all
right,
great
and
then
mayor
before
I
actually
motion
for
my
memo.
I
actually
wanted
to
include
an
item.
I
want
to
include
an
a
second,
a
second
portion,
because
if
we
can
go
back
to
slide,
10
or
11.,
sorry,
10.
G
and,
of
course,
hearing
hearing
the
hearing,
some
of
the
concerns
of
council
member
batra
and
and
a
few
other
folks,
a
few
other
folks,
a
few
other
colleagues
I'm
sorry
I'm
trailing
I'm
trying
to
pull
through
this
meeting.
G
So
the
the
the
the
concern
obviously,
is
that
it's,
unfortunately,
that
building,
affordable
housing
or
primitive
Supportive
Housing
is
is,
is
getting
expensive
and-
and
we
know
that
right,
multiple,
multiple
things
that
are
that
are
doing
that.
Okay,
so
I
want
to
add.
G
After
recommending
for
this
project,
I
want
to
add
directing
staff
to
conduct,
to
conduct
an
official
cost
analysis
and
Report
to
the
council
with
a
difference
and
cost
overtime,
including
operating
and
construction
cost
when
it
comes
when
it
comes
to
affordable
housing
or
which
we
have
here,
modular,
prefab,
construction
and
and
all
that
good
stuff,
because
I
think
we
need
to
start
having
that
discussion,
because
we
know
that
these
these
projects
are
are
getting
expensive,
but
I
know
that
our
contribution
is
low,
but
with
the
intricate
funding
of
affordable
housing.
G
C
Can
you
just
clarify
what
the
I
don't
think
we
have
a
motion
yet,
but
it
sounds
like
if
we.
BJ
G
C
Might
suggest
if
we
can
go
back
to
staff
for
just
a
moment,
I
heard
in
the
presentation,
something
I
thought
was
aligned
with
that
and
very
intriguing.
We
did
a
cost
of
construction
study
we
completed
just
last
year
had
a
very
robust
presentation
and
a
lot
of
research
that
was
done,
I'm
wondering
if
staff
wants
to
bring
that
back
with
some
additional
analysis
that
was
aligned
with
what
I
think
I
heard
Jackie
say,
or
maybe
it
was
Rachel
sorry,
but
it
was
it.
C
BP
G
Great
great
okay,
so
so
with
that
I'm
gonna
push
for
my
memo.
This
project
is
in
my
district.
G
It
is
literally
on
a
corner
where
we
have
seen
the
worst
of
the
worst
that
has
happened
in
in
our
in
my
community
drive-by
shootings,
prostitution,
drug
dealing
and
this
this
project
is,
is
really
going
to
revitalize
that
little
corner
and
again
it's
50
yards
from
the
house
that
I
grew
up
in
for
for
30
years
on
Vine
in
Virginia,
and
so
again
these
types
of
projects
is
is
what
exactly
what
we
need
in
the
in
the
city
of
San,
Jose
and
I.
G
I
know
the
concern
is
that
it's
it's
it's
getting
expensive,
but
one
like
I
said.
Our
part
is
not
that
expensive,
there's
going
to
be
a
child
care
center,
and
not
only
that
we're
also
going
to
lease
right,
we're
going
to
own
the
property
as
well.
Right
so
and
that's
extremely
important
and
that's
you
know,
I
said
I
push
my
memo
so
motion
to
to
to
push
my
memo
great.
G
P
Thank
you
very
much
for
presenting
that
797
project,
but
also
adding
some
broader
context
to
it.
Since
you've
seen
me
here
in
my
appointment
interviews,
another
my
goal
is
aligned
with
the
rest
of
the
councils
and
the
city
managers
goal
to
have
more
affordable
homes
sooner
and
whatever
way
they
come.
When
I
look
at
the
cost
or
how
much
money
we
are
putting
towards
it,
245
345,
that's
a
fraction
of
the
total
cost.
I
want
to
look
at
it,
the
total
taxpayers
money
going
towards
this
affordable
home.
P
So
that's
why
I've
requested
the
life
cycle
cost
of
these
projects,
which
not
only
stops
at
the
end
of
having
done
the
financing
and
construction,
but
after
four
years
of
construction
and
occupancy
there's
a
revenue
coming.
There
is
operating
cost
and
then
there's
a
potential
for
residue
and
that
Revenue
gets
split
in
a
certain
way.
So
I
think
we
need
to
look
at
the
overall
picture
of
these
things
and
the
goal
in
that
one
is
not
to
just
have
a
academic
study
on
it.
P
Goal
in
there
is
to
see
where
we
may
have
a
possible
lever
to
turn
so
that
we
can
make
more
houses
affordable
more
sooner
and
do
whatever
the
best
is
needed
to
leverage
our
money,
our
taxpayers,
money
and
I'm,
not
going
to
restrict
myself
to
the
city
of
San
Jose.
Okay.
So
so
that's
my
goal
with
that
context,
which
you
just
accepted.
P
The
amendment
I
would
like
to
have
that
additional
portion
of
the
be
presented,
which
is
the
cost
expected
operating
cost
and
the
revenue
which
is
the
rent,
okay
and
and
some
projection
of
that,
because
then
there
is
the
distribution
of
that
residue.
So
I
want
to
know
that
in
terms
of
paying
your
loan,
so
that
would
be
helpful
for
us
to
either
replicate
that
or
suggest
something
changes
to
it
to
make
things
better
for
us.
So.
Q
Council,
member
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
you're,
clear
I'm
one
of
the
things
that
the
housing
department
has
been
doing
for
over
25
years
is
we
actually
act
as
a
lender,
so
that
has
been
our
primary
goal.
I
mean
primary
responsibility
in
the
community,
and
so
we
actually,
we
absolutely
get
those
costs
we
in
order
to
understand
how
the
loan
is
going
to
perform.
We
understand
we
get
projections
from
the
developer
of
which
the
staff
reviews
to
understand
how
much
of
rent
is
going
to
be
collected.
What
are
the
proposed
operating
costs?
Q
What
are
the
reserves
that
are
going
to
be
needed
to
ensure
that
the
development
can
be
maintained?
There
are
also
operating
reserves
as
well,
and
so
all
of
that
is
factored
into
our
financing
decision
on
how
to
move
forward
with
that
development.
So
that's
information
we
already
have
for
every
development
that
we
see
it's.
P
I
I
had
no
doubt
that
you
do
because
you're
a
lender
and
you're
doing
a
due
diligence
to
make
sure
that
your
loan
is
paid
up
a
paid
gets
paid
through
those
things,
but
we
like
to
see
that
and
to
understand
if
there's
something
we
can
learn
from
it
to
make
things
happen
Okay.
So
that
would
be
the
goal
for
us
being
able
to
see.
Do
you
have
it
so
that's
easier
to
even
get
it
back?
P
Okay,
so
the
the
other
comment
I
had
is
that
one
more
comment
about
the
child
care
is:
is
that
going
to
be
a
at
a
cost
or
you're
doing
this?
Child
care
facility
is
being
built
for
the
residents
of
that
City.
Only
of
that
building.
S
You
can
address
that
question,
so
the
concept
with
the
child
care
center
is
that
the
developer
would
partner
with
a
with
a
child
care
provider
and
they
would
provide
child
care
services
to
families
living
in
the
development,
but
also
in
the
community.
So
it
would
be
broader
than
just
those
living
in
the
development.
So.
P
S
P
So
the
last
hopefully,
the
last
question:
okay,
you
were
able
to.
You
came
with
the
recommendation
today
to
double
the
amount
of
funding
you
were
committing
to
these
people.
Did
you
have
that
money
left
over
from
your
nofa,
which
you
issued
in
2021,
or
is
it
an
additional
funding
you
found
from
somewhere
because
that's
a
substantial
amount?
You
went
from
12
million
to
adding
another
15
million
to
it.
S
Our
notice
of
funding
availability
in
2021
we
had
a
hundred
and
fifty
million
dollars
available
at
that
time,
and
so
when
we,
when
we
put
out
that
money,
that
is
money
we
have
in
our
coffers
at
that
moment
in
time.
So
since
then,
we
have
had
essentially
another
12
plus
months
go
by,
and
during
that
time
we
have
collected
additional
funds
that
are
set
aside
and
and
have
been
allocated
for
our
production
projects.
Q
Q
That
really
have
nothing
to
do
with
the
developer,
and
you
know-
and
you
know
what
they've
done
they
have
to
do
with
our
interest
rate
environments
and
the
rising
cost
of
supplies
and
so
I'm,
anticipating
just
to
continue
to
fund
the
last
four
developments
we
are
going
to
need,
additional
funding
of,
of
which
we
should
have
next
year.
P
The
last
question
last
comment:
not
a
question
because
of
this
Apartments
each
apartment
is
estimated
to
be
1.145
million.
Okay,
without
the
cost
of
the
land
in
there,
I
can
walk
up
to
South,
San
Jose
and
a
digital
device
cost
which
you
presented
to
me
in
our
briefing
I
can
go
to
South
San
Jose
today
and
for
1.145
million
I
can
buy
a
three
bedroom
house
with
6
000
square
feet
of
land,
underneath
what
am
I
missing
here.
P
Million
no
I'm,
not
asking
City
to
buy
anything
I'm
asking
is
the
developer
is
coming
up
with
a
projection
of
1.145
million
for
each
apartment,
which
is
does
not
include
the
cost
of
the
land.
How
come
it
is
available
to
me
that
I
can
go
and
buy
a
three-bedroom
house
with
6
000
square
feet
for
the
same
kind
of
a
price?
No,
so
why
is
the
apartment
costing
me
the
same?
What
a
three
bedroom
home
cost
me!
That's
that's
what
I'm
trying
to
understand,
because
there's
something
in
my
head
is
telling
me
this.
Q
Well,
first
of
all,
I
just
want
to
make
sure
you
that
we
just
we're
all
on
the
same
page
around
the
facts,
so
the
1.1
does
include
the
land
and
it
also
includes
all
the
amenities.
So
while
it's
a
1.1
for
each
unit,
that
unit
comes
with
all
of
that
additional
space.
That's
part
of
the
development,
so
my
guess
is
the
house
that
you're
talking
about
when
was
it
built?
Well.
P
For
twenty
thousand
dollars,
no,
no!
No!
These!
This
is
the
market
value,
so
I
think
when
it
was
built
whether
it
was
renovated
not
anyway,
that's
not
relevant.
Fact.
That's
the
market
value
of
a
a
decent
home
and-
and
you
can
look
it
up-
I'm,
not
buying
any
so
I'm,
not
looking
to
purchase
but
I'm.
Just
saying,
I
looked
at
MLS
listing
their
homes
were
1.145
million
six
thousand
square
feet
home
some
remodeled
yesterday,
you
know
glamorous
whatever
so
I'm.
P
X
That
is
a
great
question
and
several
there
are
several
elements
that
contribute
to
that.
So,
if
you
one
is
that
you
mentioned
operations,
what
does
it
cost
to
operate?
Operating
a
scattered
site
development
is
a
completely
different.
X
It's
completely
completely
different
undertaking
that
that
is
much
more
costly
to
to
provide
the
quality
of
property
management
and
also
for
the
providing
Supportive
Housing
for
folks
who
have
been
previously
unhoused
for
them
to
succeed
and
thrive
in
their
homes.
There
really
needs
to
be
a
Services
component
that
is
much
more
easy
to
deliver
and
feasible
to
deliver
when
when
folks
are
together
and
there
and
then
part
of
your
question
is
also
pointing
out-
maybe
some
some
gaps
in
our
country's
approach
to
how
we
provide
affordable
housing.
X
There
isn't
a
program
that
leverages
the
rest
of
the
financing
at
the
state
level
that
would
fit
with
that
type
of
a
scattered
site
approach,
and
so
we
don't
let
so
then
we
are
only
creating
the
24
homes
and
we're
not
creating
the
other.
You
know
70
3
74
homes
that
we
would
be
able
to
when
we're
working
within
the
programs
that
that
exist.
So
that's
that's
our
limitation.
X
The
other
thing
that
we're
able
to
do
in
a
new
construction
development
is
that,
yes,
the
costs
are
high,
but
the
value
that
we're
delivering
is
high.
It's
it
it
is.
We
wish
it
cost
less,
but
we're
delivering
homes
that
are
accessible
accessible.
They
are
environmentally
planned
and
so
there's
a
good
indoor
air
quality
that
a
lot
of
homes
on
the
open
market.
Well,
it's
kind
of
a
fixer
like
oh
did
you
see
the
pest
report
is
there
mold
and
is
are
how
many
steps
to
get
in
the
front
door?
X
We
have
to
create
a
ramp
so
that
my
disabled
family
member
can
get
inside
and
use
it,
and
so
that
they're
that's
some
of
the
trade-offs
with
building
a
new
home
in
a
in
an
apartment
setting
where
we
can
bring
the
services
and
the
property
management,
and-
and
that,
though,
that
those
efficiencies
of
scale
that
that
is
the
trade-off
of
yeah.
X
You
could
go
out
and
buy
24
homes,
but
you're
not
going
to
build
the
99
homes
that
have
the
amenities
that
we
want
to
bring
to
have
healthy,
durable
homes
for
our
our
lower
income.
Community
members.
C
P
K
AK
AK
I
just
want
to
know,
if
that's
that
was
that
so
first
of
all,
I
want
to
say
that,
yes,
in
fact,
I
recognize
that
you
know
the
costs
have
gone
up
is
very
expensive.
I
will
disagree
with
my
colleague,
council
member
Torres
that
we're
only
you
know
providing
250
000
it
it's
a
lot
of
money.
It's
a
lot
of
money.
It's
twice
of
what
we
thought,
but
I
will
say.
AK
I
will
say
that
this
is
an
opportunity
to
leverage
the
funds
with
other
sources
of
funding
in
an
area
that
we
desperately
desperately
need.
You
know
the
fact
that
it's
not
just
affordable
at
one
level
but
affordable
through
several
levels.
I
think
is,
is
incredible,
so
I
I
think
that
having
services
and
what's
needed
for
the
support
of
housing
is
it's
great
to
be
able
to
to
support
but
I,
but
I
will
say
that,
as
we
and
I
recognize
that
that
costs
are
only
going
to
go
up,
I
mean
I.
AK
Keep
having
this
illusion
that,
oh
no
it's
going
to
come
down
or
oh
no,
you
know
it's
it's
going
to
get
better
next
year.
It
doesn't,
it
seems,
to
like
keep
going
higher
and
higher,
so
I
think
that
as
we
move
forward,
you
know
I'm
glad
that
there's
a
strategy
to
kind
of
look
at
costs,
but
I
also
think
that
you
know
there
are
these
other
projects
in
the
pipeline.
That
are,
you
know.
AK
Equally,
you
know
important,
and
you
know
I
just
I
just
worry
that
we
might
not
be
able
to
build
our
way
out
of
everything
that
we
need
right,
but
I'm
glad
that
we're
at
least
trying
to
leverage
that
we're
trying
to
add
to
the
housing
stock,
which
you
know
we
need,
and
it's
something
that
I
think
is
critically
important
for
the
community.
So
I
will
be
supporting
the
motion
and
and
I
really
think
that
we
may
want
to
think
about.
AK
H
Thank
you
mayor,
thank
you,
so
much
staff
for
stopping
by
my
office
and
providing
a
briefing
which
I
think
is
really
important
so
that
we're
prepared
for
when
these
items
come
before
us
on
the
on
the
dice
and
chatting
and
a
light
on
this
whole
investment
process,
which,
really
to
my
understanding,
is
alone
right.
We
will
be
getting
these
dollars
back,
okay,
good,
just
just
what
I
I
thought,
but
I'm
in
support
of
the
staff
recommendation.
Our
city
needs
to
aggressively
work
with
other.
H
You
know:
Municipal
County
agencies
to
reach
our
housing
goals
and
our
Arena
goals.
Funding,
affordable
housing
development
is
a
good
use
of
a
strategic
use
of
limited
City
funds.
Despite
the
higher
overall
costs
per
unit.
The
city's
investment
is
much
more
limited
for
every
affordable
apartment.
H
This
city
is
investing
250
000,
but
it's
not
going
to
be
an
ongoing
investment
and
we're
going
to
begin
our
money
back
so
for
me,
I
see
that
as
a
a
good
deal
in
comparison
to
other
funding
mechanisms
in
many
ways,
affordable
housing
is
much
more
cost
effective
system
than
I
believe
in
interim
housing,
while
interim
housing
has
lower
or
lower
overall
Capital
costs.
H
The
city
is
bearing
the
entire
cost
and
millions
annually
for
ongoing
service
and
operations
for
each
location,
and,
in
addition,
the
city
investment
into
permanent
housing
is
made
as
a
loan
as
I
mentioned,
meaning
we
we
would
get
a
significant
portion
of
those
funds
returned
back
to
the
city
they'll.
Let
let
me
be
clear:
we
must
continue
investing
in
both
interim
and
permanent
housing
in
order
to
solve
this
crisis,
this
affordability
crisis
and
the
houseless
crisis.
H
As
we
build
more
interim
housing,
you
know
we're
going
to
need
more
affordable
housing
options
to
ensure
folks
have
a
pathway
to
permanent
housing,
especially
for
a
homeless
population.
Ensuring
those
interim
sites
can
assist
as
many
people
as
possible.
H
The
only
reason
the
cities
in
term
housing
sites
have
good
permanent
housing
outcomes.
I
believe
is
because
we
have
invested
in
affordable
housing
units
that
can
serve
as
a
destination
for
folks
temporarily
placed
in
interim
housing,
but
if
we
stop
investing
in
housing
all
together,
we'll
see
people
stuck
in
interim
locations
for
I
believe
decades.
H
Lastly,
I
wanted
to
add
that
the
resources
for
Community
Development,
the
developer
at
hand,
has
previously
worked
with
my
predecessor
to
develop
quetzal
Gardens
as
a
fantastic
71
unit.
Building
in
the
heart
of
the
Mayfair
Community
I've
taken
a
tour
of
the
site,
I'm
very
much
impressed
their
commitment
to
the
community
went
far
beyond
above
what
other
developers
and
providers
have
done,
providing
space
for
somos
Mayfair,
the
Latino
business
Foundation,
excite
Credit
Union
all
for
the
benefit
of
the
surrounding
communities.
H
I
know
that
this
would
be
this
same
sort
of
package
would
be
great
for
the
Guadalupe
Washington
community
in
District,
three
I
believe
you
truly
understand.
You
know
the
importance
of
wraparound
support
services
and
the
the
items
within
the
memo
reflect
that
so
I'm.
Looking
forward
to
seeing
this
groundbreaking,
Amazing,
Project
and
I
share
my
gratitude.
Thank
you.
T
Yeah,
thank
you
and
I
want
to
thank
councilmember
Ortiz
for
articulating
some
of
the
things
that
I
wanted
to
say
about
this
and
to
take
it
one
step
further.
T
You
know,
there's
been
a
lot
of
debate
recently
about
what's
better
interim
housing
or
or
this
kind
of
housing,
affordable,
permanent
housing,
which
I
think
is
the
ultimate
goal,
and
it
correct
correct
me
if
I'm
wrong
I
want
you
to
correct
me,
because
I
have
so
many
things
bouncing
around
in
my
head,
that
I
no
longer
know
if
I'm
saying
the
right
thing
anymore,
but
if
I
remember
correctly,
when
we
talked
about
our
eih
site,
we
were
talking
about
a
hundred
beds
at
15
million
dollar
cost.
Is
that
about
right
and
that?
T
I
just
wanted
to
make
a
point:
I
mean
the
exact
number
is
not
important,
but
about
15
million
dollars
to
build
100
beds
yeah,
and
so
we
have
to
be
really
careful
when
we
start
saying
well,
our
money's
much
better
spent
building
these
15
million
hundred
bed
temporary
housing
projects
when
we
can
leverage
24
million
dollars
into
123
permanent
units,
that's
actually
a
loan
that
will
come
back
over
time
that
we
can.
We
use
cycle
through
multiple
projects
and
actually
get
permanent
housing
built
and,
as
councilmember
Ortiz
said
so
well.
T
The
only
way
the
interim
housing
projects
work
is,
if
there's
a
place
to
go
at
the
end
of
that,
because
we
only
expect
people
to
be
there
for
six
to
eight
months
and
or,
if
or
less
and
hopefully
have
somewhere
to
go.
So
we
need
to
do
both.
We
need
to
have
interim
housing,
but
these
projects
are
really
important
and
I
do
appreciate
the
fact
that
we're
leveraging
money
that
we
can
leverage
multiple
times
by
by
doing
these
kinds
of
projects.
T
My
pride
problem
with
these
projects
is
not
that
we're
being
too
Cavalier
and
improving
projects
too
quickly.
Without
a
lot
of
analysis,
it's
that
we
can't
move
fast
enough
and
it's
not
anybody's
fault,
it's
just
the
nature
of
of
this
business
that
we're
trying
to
be
in
that
we
can't
move
fast
enough.
T
So
you
know
I'd
like
to
see
projects
like
this
all
over
this,
the
city
I'm
always
jealous
when
we
approve
these
projects
that
we
haven't
yet
gotten
the
first
one
started
in
District
Four
I
have
this
vision
of
North
San
Jose
with
all
these
affordable
housing
projects,
and
it
takes
time
so
I
just
want
to
ask
a
couple.
Questions
about
your
slide.
T
Go
back
to
the
the
slides
here
slide,
while
I'm
looking
for
that
number
as
I
say
one
other
thing
about
this.
We
also
have
to
be
careful
to
to
about
the
extra
cost,
because
these
are
Supportive
Housing,
so
there's
more
service
in
it
than
just
a
regular
housing
apartment.
So
we
have
to
also
not
conflate
different
kinds
of
housing,
as
we
can
make
comparisons
and
costs
so
slide.
11
had
those
bubbles
on
it
that
show
what
we
need
for
future
projects
in
the
pipeline.
T
I
just
want
to
ask
a
few
questions
about
that.
I
was
intrigued
by
some
of
your
dollar
amounts
and,
as
I
did
the
quick
math.
It
looks
like
the
four
remaining
developments
that
need
93
million
because
they're
large
and
they
have
500
over
500
units,
we're
talking
about
only
about
180
000
per
door
on
the
city,
commitment
side
and
the
one
that
said
three
wait
listed
projects
at
50
million
595
homes,
though
we're
talking
about
about
85
000
per
door,
is,
is
this
correct?
T
Is
there
something
different
about
these
than
the
ones
that
we're
doing
now?
I
do
want
to
note
that
on
the
wait
list
specifically,
we
have
not
refreshed
their
their
requests
for
funding,
because
we
haven't
been
in
conversation
with
them,
because
we
we've
just
told
them
you're
on
the
waitlist.
So
what
we're
actively
doing
is
working
with
all
the
developments
that
are
remaining
to
to
fully
understand
what
the
cost
is,
knowing
that
those
costs
have
changed
over
time,
so
so
anyway.
T
But
I
do
also
want
to
say
that
on
the
wait
list
we
do
have
large
developments
that
are
very
dense
and
are
are
a
couple
of
them
are
really
trying
to
come
up
with
a
way
to
use
like
minimize
their
city
funding,
but
yet
be
able
to
move
forward
the
larger
development
and
the
larger
they
are
probably
the
lower
cost
per
unit,
as
well,
because
of
the
density
and
they're
also
striving
to
have
a
more
higher
Amis
yeah,
which
then
allow
them
to
get
more
private
financing
right,
because
they're
able
to
collect
bigger
rents,
larger
rents,
which
is
more
money,
means
you
can
qualify
for
a
bigger
loan.
T
T
That's
not
it's
not
even
on
the
list
yet,
and
they
were
talking
about
coming
out
for
funding
this
fall
around
October
November.
Is
that
still
correct
most
likely?
The
other
project
that
was
up
on
that
timeline
was
the
affirmed
housing
project
at
the
BART
station.
Are
they
is
that
that
VTA
project?
Is
that
something
that
they're
going
to
come
to
the
city
for
funding
as
well?
That's
another
example
of
a
pipeline
project:
that's
not
represented
here
and
that's
over
500
units
on
one
site,
so
I
mean
those
two
projects.
T
T
Thank
you,
mayor,
thank
you,
Jackie
and,
and
your
team
for
for
working
on
getting
more
affordable
housing
on
to
the
much
needed
Community
here.
I
think
we
all
know
that
1.1
million
dollars
per
door
is
quite
expensive.
The
question
is
it
sustainable
and
I?
Think
we
all
know
the
answer
is
is
unsustainable.
T
So
those
costs
are
borne
by
the
development.
So,
as
we
look
at
what
are
the
rents
and
the
increases
they
can
take
on
rent
and
the
costs
they
project,
all
of
that
out,
they
have
operating
reserves
and
so
just
like
any
other
rental,
Housing
Development.
It
is
something
that's
built
into
the
development
budget,
but
in
addition,
because
these
units
have
permanent
Supportive
Housing
in
them,
there
is
a
county
commitment
to
provide
additional
funding
and
I'm
going
to
check.
T
Is
it
between
ten
or
twelve
thousand
dollars
per
unit
that
the
county
provides
for
each
permit
Supportive
Housing
unit
to
support
the
additional
services
that
are
needed
to
help
stabilize
and
provide
additional
services
for
people
who
are
coming
off
the
streets
so
with
the
total,
Services
per
apartment
or
per
person,
but
anywhere
would
run
fifteen
thousand?
Or
is
it
fifteen
to
thirty
thousand
per
person
I'm
going
to
ask
rcd
if
they
want
to
address
the
operating
budget
for
this
project?.
T
I
just
want
to
make
sure
I'm
answering
the
right
question
was
that
you
were
asking
about
Services,
Supportive
Services
for
the
residents
or
overall.
Well,
they
do
Supportive,
Services,
first
and
then
overall
services
for
the
residents
yeah,
so
the
services
plan
we
our
rcd,
provides
often
provides
services
and
when
in
buildings,
where
we
have
a
previously
unhoused
or
a
special
population
that
might
have
additional
needs,
will
partner
with
a
with
a
local
specialized
service
provider.
So
in
this
case
we
are
partnering
with
Abode
Services,
which
we've
we
love
partnering
with
them.
T
T
The
resident
services
plan,
which
part
actually
part
of
the
the
affordable
housing
and
supportive
communities
funding
that
we're
applying
for
in
a
month.
You
know
fingers
crossed
it
will
fund
the
first
few
years
of
those
Services,
while
people
get
kind
of
stabilized
in
their
in
their
homes.
Coming
in
from
being
previously
unhoused
now
to
the
broader
operating
budget,
I
actually
have
it
here.
Let's
see
if
I
can
pull
that
out
and
read
the
tiny
font
on
the
fly,
but
we
that
we
pride
ourselves
in
our
asset
management
that
our
resources
for
Community
Development.
T
Does
and
how
we
approach
our
developments.
We
want
to
be
a
great
place
to
live
and
we
want
to
be
a
great
neighbor
for
the
long
term
and
so
we're
really
looking
at
what
is
it?
We
don't
want
to
shortchange
our
operations.
You
know
we
don't
want
to
gold
plate
anything,
we
want
it
to
be
durable
and
practical,
and
we
want
it
to
last
for
a
long
time.
It's
for
the
physical
and
Financial
Health,
so
oop
pulled
out
the
wrong
page.
T
The
total
operating
cost
per
year
is
1.45
million
dollars,
and
so
that
is
what
the
rents
cover
now
mind
you.
These
are
all
low-income
apartments,
so
the
rents
have
to
be
affordable,
and
so
we,
so
that
includes
Property,
Management,
repairs,
site
security,
maintenance,
landscaping
and
you
know,
utilities
for
all
99
apartments
and
we've
projected
that
out
and
with
the
deposits
to
reserve,
so
that
we
can
maintain
the
building
and
keep
not
have
deferred
maintenance.
We
can
keep
it
up
over
the
long
term.
Thank
you.
T
T
T
So
we
really
want
developments
to
push
their
level
of
density
so
and
there
is
a
sweet
spot,
so
they're
not
going
to
build
200,
necessarily
in
one
phase,
because
we're
not
able
to
get
tax
credits
to
help
us
to
cover
all
the
costs.
So
we
wouldn't
want
a
development
to
reduce
the
number
of
units.
Okay
and
out
of
curiosity,
what
what
is
the
square
footage
size
for
one
bedroom,
two
bedroom
or
three.
T
The
even
tinier
font,
okay,
okay,
let's
see
for
the
studios,
those
are.
T
In
about
just
under
400
square
feet,
so
those
are
small
for
the
one
bedrooms
they're
averaging
about
500
square
feet.
The
two
bedrooms
are
about
800
square
feet
and
the
three
bedrooms
are
about
three
thirteen
hundred
square
feet.
Well,
my
thought
process
is.
We
can
always
reduce,
try
to
reduce
the
amount
of
square
footage
on
each
unit
and
and
use
that
to
maximize
the
99
units
right,
the
smaller
you
build,
then
the
more
units
you
can
add
on
and-
and
that's
just
my
thought
so
anyway.
Thank
you
very
much
for
your
answer.
T
Thank
you.
Councilmember
appreciate
the
conversation.
You
know,
I'm
I,
I'm,
glad
that
we
are
talking
about
cost
of
construction.
As
you
all
know,
I've
personally
been
very
concerned
about
the
growing
cost
per
unit
we've
seen
in
just
the
last
few
years,
a
cost
escalation
of
anywhere
from
50
to
100
000
a
year.
T
It
seems
per
unit
in
general
in
housing
construction,
and
it
is
concerning
to
me
that
when
we
are
publicly
subsidizing
and
building
affordable
for
those
who
need
it
most,
it
seems
to
be
costing
us
more
than
it's
costing
market
rate
developers
to
build
comparable
product.
So
that
was
part
of
my
interest
in
in
really
us
having
follow-up
conversations
and
having
our
housing
department
dive
deeper
into
the
cost
stack
and
where
there
may
be
levers.
I
would
suggest
on
the
slide.
T
That
pointed
to
the
goal
of
reducing
costs,
I'm
glad
that
we're
setting
a
Target
and
going
to
be
looking
at
levers,
I'd
suggest
that
we-
obviously
here
you
have
things
like
modular
prefab,
construction
and
Innovative
financing
and
things
that
we
may
have
more
control
over,
which
is
I,
think
the
right
starting
place.
I
hope
we'll
also
look
at
other
broader
drivers
and
how
we
can
be
advocates
in
Sacramento
and
Washington
for
the
policy
change
that
we
need.
T
My
sense
is
that
without
other
tools,
like
SQL,
streamlining
or
more
flexibility
around
other
kinds
of
Regulation,
some
of
these
costs
are
going
to
be
hard
to
bring
down
so
I.
Just
you
know,
I
think
I'm.
Looking
forward
to
having
that
conversation,
I
want
to
also
just
caution.
My
colleagues
in
setting
up
this
I
think
it's
kind
of
a
false
choice
between
permanent,
supportive
and
emergency
interim
housing.
T
T
We're
seeing
movement
in
the
state
now
talking
about
potentially
applying
vouchers
to
interim
units
and
longer
stays
I
also,
don't
think
it's
necessarily
accurate
or
that
I
would
have
to
do
some
data
analysis
that
the
only
place
people
go
when
they
exit
interim
housing
is
into
a
permanent
Supportive
Housing
site
that
we've
built.
There
are
a
lot
of
different
things
that
can
happen
when
someone
gets
stabilized
and
I
would.
T
This
is
a
longer
conversation
that
we'll
pick
up
next
week,
but
argue
that
we
have
a
a
you
know,
moral
responsibility
to
really
think
about
relieving
the
greatest
amount
of
suffering.
I
think
we
know
that
the
longer
someone
languishes
in
unmanaged
unsheltered
conditions,
the
harder
it
is
for
them
to
regain
self-sufficiency.
So
I
think
there's
a
lot
of
complexity
to
these
issues.
T
I
think
it's
great
that
just
within
the
category
of
these
kinds
of
projects
that
we're
going
to
which
we
will
continue
to
build
that
we're
going
to
look
at
finding
every
lever
we
can
to
bring
down
cost
per
unit
so
that
we
can
stretch
our
dollars
further
and
build
more
units
for
those
For
Whom.
The
market
would
otherwise
fail
to
produce
affordable
housing.
I
think
there's
a
lot
of
questions
about
our
role
in
that
market
and
how
much
we
turn
the
dial
toward
different
levels
of
affordability.
T
There's
a
lot
of
components
and
a
lot
of
complexities.
So
look
forward
to
us
coming
back.
I
will
restate
that
I
am
very
concerned
that,
as
costs
go
up
it
you
know
we
should
the
cost
we
never
talk
about
by
the
way
is
when
we
pass
a
billion
dollar
bond.
That
is
a
meaningful
cost
for
our
Working
Families
as
well.
So
there
are
costs
all
around
and
we've
we've
got
a
responsibility
to
stretch
these
dollars.
T
As
far
as
we
possibly
can
to
help
the
most
people
we
can
and
I
don't
want
to
oversimplify
the
issue.
So
I
look
forward
to
further
conversation.
I
do
really
appreciate
the
housing
department,
integrating
that
broader
context,
because
I
think
it's
an
important
conversation
for
us
to
be
having
as
policy
makers.
That
being
said,
I
will
support
the
motion
and
I
think
we
are
ready.
No,
we
are
not
every
time
I
talk
more
hands
go
up.
I
should
just
learn
my
lesson:
okay,
we're
close
to
being
done.
T
Councilor
if
you
want
to
yeah
I,
just
I
I
have
a
question.
I
just
have
a
question
the
the
conversation
that
we
want
to
have,
which
is
which
is
extremely
important:
Mr
Mayor,
the
you
know
comparing
the
cost
between
interim
and
permanent
Supportive
Housing
when
it
comes
to
construction
and
and
services.
T
Is
that
going
to
be
had
here
or
at
a
committee
or
when
another
when
another
project
comes
before
us
because
I
know
I
know
you
mentioned
that
there
was
already
a
conversation
and,
and
while
half
of
us
weren't
here
and
that
last
go-around,
so
I
think
it's
just
very
important
that
we
do
address
our
you
know
the
concerns
of
my
colleagues
but
also
I,
know
folks
in
the
community,
who
also
have
have
those
concerns
great
question.
T
So
if
I
could
suggest
a
couple
things
and
then
maybe
hear
from
our
city
manager
or
or
Jackie
on
this
one
is
if,
if
staff's
willing,
if
we
could
just
circulate
the
cost
of
construction
study
and
the
video
from
the
study
session,
I
think
they
are
well
worth
everyone's
time.
I'd
actually
like
to
go
back
because
they
were
pretty
dense.
I,
think
that
would
be
helpful.
I.
Think
having
a
study
session
at
some
point
could
be
helpful.
T
We
could
start
if
there's
some
analysis
that
comes
back
later
in
the
year
and
and
staff
wants
to
first
take
that
to
a
committee
to
get
some
initial
feedback
and
questions
I
mean
I'll,
maybe
ask
staff
what
they
prefer,
but
I
think
this
is
some.
This
is
one
of
those
key
questions
for
us
to
be
grappling
with
and
we
need
to
not
just
have
the
conversation
every
year
or
two.
T
When
we
have
a
big
study
done,
we
need
to
bake
in
Opportunities
along
the
way,
because
I
really
think,
particularly
in
the
space
of
the
Continuum
of
interim
to
permanent,
affordable,
there's,
actually
a
lot
of
different
flavors
and
a
lot
of
there's
a
lot
of
fluidity
right
now
in
the
policy
making
space.
It's
not
a
binary
choice
between
just
option,
A
and
B,
there's
actually
many
flavors
of
these
product
types
and
a
lot
changing
in
Sacramento
right
now.
So
anyway,
sorry
Jennifer!
No
Jack!
Do
you
want
to
respond?
T
Sure
I
think
you
know
us
coming
back
with
directly
to
the
council,
with
some
information
regarding
kind
of
I
mean
I,
think
you've
hit
it
right,
like
the
space
of
what
you
can
do
in
interim.
As
you
know,
we've
done
tents
now,
all
the
way
to
kitchenettes
right,
kitchenettes
right.
We
started
with
cabins
that
had
no
bathrooms
that
we
built
that
were
probably
twenty
thousand
dollars
a
unit,
we're
doing
modular
prefab.
T
Now
that
we
can
do
faster
frankly
than
the
cabins
took
us
right,
because
it's
built
off
site,
we
just
drop
it
in,
so
we
have
been
iterating
on
the
product
on
what
it
is
we
can
be
producing
and
and
I
think
the
biggest
challenges
on
the
interim
housing's
piece
of
it
is
the
fact
that
we
need
land.
We
need
opportunities
of
where
to
build
it
and
the
level
of
community
objection
that
we
get
to
that
compared
to
an
apartment.
Building
that
people
understand
what
it
is.
T
It
looks
like
it
feels
familiar
and
and
not
that
we
don't
get
objections,
but
this
Council
room
is
not
filled
with
an
audience
with
signs.
Saying
don't
build
this
here,
because
we've
done
a
lot
of
great
homework
with
our
partners,
including
the
county
destination,
home
housing
authority
and
all
the
non-profits
who've
been
kind
of
rowing
in
that
direction,
so
I
think
being
able
to
provide
kind
of
here's.
T
The
range
of
opportunity
places
where
we
can
pull
the
level
I
I
did
appreciate
our
conversation
with
you
mayor
when
you
said
think
broadly
about
those
lovers
and
where
we
can
go
to
the
State.
To
look
at
if
there's
opportunities
for
us
to
do
something
more
with
the
help,
and
so
we
are
committed
to
doing
that
and
I
think
we
can
come
back
with
that
kind
of
Greater
piece
of
work
great
and
would
that
come
to
count
I
guess
we
can
we
can
take
it.
T
T
T
Yes,
so
the
questions
we
asked
I
support
the
individual
product
because
that's
what's
in
front
of
us,
but
we
need
mayor
a
study
session
where
we
are
not
restricted
by
the
brown
act
and
we
do
not
want
to
talk
about
a
particular
project,
because
that
is
too
late
for
us
to
be
able
to
really
be
asking
these
questions.
A
lot
of
it
are
educational
about
approach
and
strategy.
So
I
think
we
should
have
a
study
session
with
our
housing
experts.
T
All
council
members
not
talk
about
any
specific
project
which
is
coming
up
for
review
and
have
this
open
discussion
about
where
we
can
leverage
the
funds.
Where
are
they
approach
and
strategy
and
see?
If
there
is
any
place
we
can
find
a
way
to
plug
in
and
come
out
of
the
out
of
the
box
thinking?
So
this
individual
project?
T
Yes,
the
99
units
is
better
than
zero
for
sure,
okay,
but
let's
find
ways
to
have
1099s
11.99s.
Okay,
so
my
request
is
to
schedule
a
today's
session,
for
that
purpose
will
support
this
particular
project.
Hopefully,
we
can
do
that
sooner
than
August,
because
there
are
going
to
be
a
lot
of
individual
projects
going
to
be
coming
and
we
will
be
in
the
same
boat.
We
will
be
asking
for
the
same
questions
thanks
for
the
feedback
and
good
points.
T
T
Okay
and
in
the
meantime,
I
I
know,
the
housing
department
will
continue
to
be
available
for
for
our
questions
along
the
way.
Okay,
I
think.
At
this
point
we
were
ready
to
vote
Tony
Jimenez,
yes,.
T
Aye
14
aye
aye
aye,
fully
aye
aye
ayehan
aye.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Okay,
Rhonda
open
Forum.
Thank
you
to
staff
by
the
way,
thank
you
to
we're
on
to
open
Forum,
which
is
an
opportunity
for
members
of
the
public
to
speak
on
any
items
that
were
not
on
tonight's
agenda.
T
T
The
best
way
to
protect
the
future
is
to
create
it,
and
it
is
easy
to
create
strong
children
than
to
repair
broken
adults.
So
sorry,
what
was
up
I'm,
nothing
background
noise.
Oh
got
it
well
yeah.
Basically,
it's
a
substantive
solution,
though,
can
help
too
well.
Where
was
I,
saying.
T
Don
are
you
done?
I
was
just
trying
to
regather
my
thoughts
but
yeah
I
basically
finished
the
program
and
I'm
extending
the
pilot.
So
thanks.
Thank
you.
Chris.
T
T
If
we
could
try
to
hold
these
contractors
and
developers
to
a
higher
standard,
it
would
ensure
that
these
workers
make
a
wage
that
they
can
live
a
decent
life
with,
and
not
a
worry
of
having
to
work
paycheck
to
paycheck
words
like
prevailing
wage,
Healthcare
and
apprenticeship
should
be
the
norm
for
jobs
like
these
local
hire
is
also
important
to
make
sure
that
the
men
and
women
working
in
our
town
are
also
buying
goods
in
our
town,
and
that
will
help
our
city
with
its
tax
revenue.
T
So
we
can
all
enjoy
our
lives,
It's
upsetting
to
me
that
these
workers
can
build
our
malls
or
in
our
condos
in
our
Apartments,
but
yet
can't
afford
to
live
or
shop
in
them.
So
with
that
said,
please
really
think
about
holding
developers
and
contractors
to
a
higher
standard.
That
way
we
all
have
a
better
living
wage,
Health,
Care
and
apprenticeship.
T
Apprenticeship
is
great
because
we,
a
lot
of
the
youth,
don't
have
a
direction
in
life,
and
this
is
a
paying
trade
where
they
can
take
pride
in
learning
something
and
how
to
keep
building
our
great
City.
So
with
all
that,
please
consider
holding
these
contractors
and
developers
to
a
higher
standard.
Thank
you
back
to
the
council.
