C
You
know
I
appreciate
not
just
the
opportunity
to
come
back
after
dinner,
energize
and
and
and
talk
about.
You
know
your
budget
message,
but
I
think
it
was
important
important
to
hear
on
on
your
priorities,
including
addressing
homelessness,
creating
safer
streets
and
enhancing
our
neighborhoods
throughout
the
city.
C
Public,
Safety,
homelessness
and
clean
neighborhoods
are
important
to
our
residents,
but
I
also
believe
we
can
move
this
city
forward
as
we
look
to
address
the
challenges
necessary
before
we
can
strengthen
our
community
I
want
to
ensure
that
we
as
a
council
have
all
the
information
before
we
make
decisions
on
the
budget,
as
vice
mayor
kame,
said
earlier,
you
know
what
are
their
trade-offs
as
as
we
deliberate
the
programs
being
proposed,
and
you
know,
as
we
look
to
provide
a
a
wide
breadth
of
Housing
Solutions,
it's
important
that
we
continue
to
support
key
initiatives
while
also
exploring
other
opportunities.
C
The
community
plan
and
homelessness
specifically
mentions
the
multiple
strategies
needed
to
execute
and
and
and
and
have
our
approach
to
solving
the
the
unhoused
issue.
I
look
forward
to
getting
through
our
current
pipeline
of
projects.
These
projects
are
important,
but
the
fact
is
you
know.
The
fact
remains
that
we
need
more
permanent
housing
paired
with
Immediate
Solutions.
We
can
all
agree
that
this
development
takes
time
for
a
multitude
of
reasons.
C
I'm
also
excited
to
explore
further
opportunities
for
affordable
housing,
development,
affordable
housing
developments,
and
how
will
we
keep
funding
for
this
through
this
specific
recommendation,
I'm
hoping
that
we
can
put
a
numerical
context
behind
our
housing
crisis
and
look
at
the
funding
landscape
for
current,
as
well
as
prospective
affordable
housing
developments
that
you
know
that
being
said,
council
member
Davis?
Would
you
be
open
to
a
friendly
amendment
to
include
recommendation
recommendation
number
three
in
my
memorandum
as
an
MBA
to
ensure
we
get
the
cost
for
the
trade-offs
I
specifically
mentioned?
Yes,.
C
Thank
you,
and
you
know,
as
as
we
have
this
conversation
on
the
budget.
I
I
also
don't
want
to
lose
sight
of
programs
like
Early,
Education
and
family
learning
that
our
residents
depend
on
that
our
residents
depend
on
Library
programming,
expanding
Sunday
hours
to
all
Branch
Library
locations
and
maintaining
scholarship
for
recreation
programs
and
education
services
are
a
critical
piece
of
what
we
do
as
a
city.
These
programs
have
shown
that
they
help
improve
youth
performance
at
school
and
reduce
crime
and
juvenile
delinquency.
C
Providing
a
full
range
of
programming
we'll
have
a
significant
return
on
investment
for
the
city,
and
a
lack
like
I
would
like
to
thank
my
colleagues
for
their
for
their
memorandums
as
they
pertain
to
these
family
services.
You
know
one
of
the
budget
messages
focuses
is
Public
Safety.
Recreational
programs
are
the
best
investment
to
prevent
our
youth
from
ending
up
in
the
system
and
in
the
worst
case,
on
the
streets.
C
As
this
Council
looks
to
discuss
numerous
programs
and
services
I'd
like
to
ensure
that
we
are
providing
ample
Mental
Health
Services
for
youth,
especially
as
our
recreation,
centers
and
programs
are
oftentimes.
The
the
main
mechanism
for
which
youth
are
engaged
outside
of
school-
you
know
the
research
shows
that
surrounding
youth
with
proper
support
can
help
our
youth
now
and
in
the
future.
Poor
mental
health
leads
to
poor
academic
performance
and,
ultimately,
poor
decision
making.
C
We
should
strengthen
existing
Partnerships
and
programs
in
place
and
and
I
see
that
you
mentioned
that
in
your
memorandum
and
and
I
I
I
excited
to
to
see
what
comes
out
of
that
early
intervention
and
Readiness,
as
opposed
to
reactive
Services,
where
treatment
is
far
more
expensive
for
it's
for,
for
both
the
city
and
and
the
individual.
So,
as
is
budget
process,
unfolds,
I
look
forward
to
the
conversations
and
and
to
coordinating
and
working
with
my
colleagues
on
a
budget
for
for
all
in
our
city.
Thank
you.
B
Thank
you,
councilmember,
and
just
to
clarify
the
friendly
Amendment
suggestion
was
recommendation
three
to
be
turned
into
an
MBA
and
I
I
heard
a
yes
from
council
member
Davis
at
a
second
did
we
get
a
second
dwan?
Is
you
comfortable
with
the
friendly
Amendment.
B
F
So
this
is
the
process
where
we
are
realizing
that
we
have
to
people
are
watching
us,
make
the
sausage
right
so
did
I
say
that
one
right,
maybe
not
okay
anyway,
since
we
are,
we,
the
the
items
that
I
proposed
in
in
my
memo
are
are
also
extremely
important,
not
only
for
myself
but
to
other
members
in
our
community
and
I
and
I
wholeheartedly
appreciate
the
process
that
we're
in
I
think
this
is
extremely
important,
because
we,
we
are
definitely
prioritizing
the
needs
of
our
of
our
community
and
and
our
residents.
F
So
so
one
I
wanna
just
a
clarification
with
the
friendly
amendment
that
council
member
kame
shoot
sorry
vice
mayor
kame
offered,
which
is
the
mbas
so.
B
There
was
no
Amendment
accepted.
It
was
just
a
clarification
that
the
the
motion
on
the
floor,
which
is
the
substitute
motion
that
the
items
that
would
come
back
through
an
MBA,
would
include
discussion
of
costs.
Staffing
needs,
potential
redundancies
and
trade-offs
and
and
staff
confirm
that
that's
those
are
the
kinds
of
things
that
would
be
discussed
in
an
MBA.
F
Right,
no
and
thank
you,
and,
and
thank
you
to
councilmember
Davis
for
helping
us
stay
on
track
with
the
meeting
of
our
with
the
you
know,
with
meeting
the
needs
of
our
residents
with
with
her
motion
so
so,
I
I
would
like
to
also
offer
a
friendly
Amendment,
where
the
items
that
I
requested
in
my
memo
that
have
a
dollar
amount
come
back
as
a
budget
addendum.
B
Okay,
so
those
are
the
so
now
we've
we
have
also
included
so
any
that
have
explicit
direction
to
come
back
as
an
MBA
recommendation,
three
from
the
Candelas
memo
and
the
recommendations
in
the
torah's
memo
that
have
specific
dollar
amounts
that
those
items
come
back
as
an
MBA.
Okay
on
to
council
priorities.
G
Thank
you
mayor
and
my
comments
are
very
similar
to
council
member
Torres.
This
but
specific
to
item
number
two
I
wanted
to
see
if
we
could
have
a
friendly
amendment
to
include
item
number
two
as
a
potential
MBA
I
want
to
explore
that
as
an
option.
H
I
think
the
amendment
which
is
council,
member,
Torres
and
Ortiz
that
was
already
accepted
when
we,
the
motion,
which
was
accepted.
It
said
all
memos
now
wait
a
second
all
memos
by
council
members
which
have
an
MBA.
Those
items
goes
in
MBA.
What
is
non-mba
goes
as
the
mbas,
so
everything.
B
Was
the
motion
on
the
floor
stated
the
the
motion
stated
that
all
Direction
all
recommendations
that
explicitly
asked
for
an
MBA
would
be
treated
would
come
back
as
such
would
be
kept.
All
other
recommendations
would
be
treated
as
discussion
such
as
in
the
colon
memo.
If
you
read
the
colon
memo
it's
all
of
it
is
background.
It's
for
discussion.
It's
just
it's!
It's
discussion
points
it's
for
our
consideration,
so
the
I.
So
if
you
look
at
the
the
memo,
we're
currently
on
and
Council
has
the
floor
and
is
asking
for
a
friendly
Amendment
here.
B
If
you
look
at
his
memo
recommendation,
one
asks
for
mbas
manager,
budget
addendum
on
items,
a
b
c
d
e,
but
on
number
two
gives
explicit
direction
to
allocate
dollars
today,
right
and
I.
Think
some
of
us
have
expressed
Our
concern
around
that,
though
many
of
the
ideas
in
here
are
very
strong,
so
I
think
the
request
is
that
again
for
items
well,
in
this
case,
I
think
the
council
member
is
asking
for
all
those
items
to
be
considered
as
coming
back
or
to
come
back
via
an
MBA.
H
Can
come
back
we're
saying
that
I'm
still
on
the
point
of
information
on
that
I'm
saying
that
our
substitute
motion
accepted
all
the
items
to
be
MBA
items
and
anything
which
is
non-mba
is
accepted
as
MBA
item
no.
H
That's
the
wording
we
had,
but
I
think
we
may
have
missed,
read
it,
but
that
was
the
voting
we
prepared
when
it
was
done.
Okay,.
B
Yeah,
just
just
once
again,
councilor
Davis
stated
any
of
the
recommendations
that
ask
for
an
MBA
will
come
back
as
an
MBA.
Any
that
do
not
would
simply
be
for
discussion,
not
an
MBA,
just
like
cat.
If
you
look
at
councilmember
Cohen's
memo,
there's
a
lot
back.
Okay,
so
we're
now
modifying
that
motion.
Okay,
thank.
H
All
right,
first
of
all,
I
want
to
say
that
the
entire
process
of
getting
this
input
from
the
public
and
preparation
of
the
memos
I
think
a
lot
of
people
have
invested
a
lot
of
very
thoughtful
ideas
in
there
and
modifying
the
here,
the
memo
submissions
and
what
we
have
finally
changed.
H
But
we
only
have
project
hope
in
nine
of
them
and
we
have
submitted
MBA
for
asking
it
to
be
expended
to
18..
More
importantly,
district
10
has
been
doing
this
project
hope
as
supplemental
activity,
which
is
in
Council
assigned
person,
who
is
a
retired
police
officer
Works
only
with
that
project
hope
site
one
site
in
District
10.
H
We
are
calling
if
we
are
drawing
attention
to
that
activity
which
has
been
done
in
addition
to
or
supplementing
the
project
hope,
and
we
made
a
strong
recommendation
to
evaluate
if
it
will
be
possible
within
our
budgets
to
be
able
to
include
that
kind
of
an
activity
within
the
project
hope
either
from
the
city,
manager's,
total
budget
or
as
a
supplement
from
the
council
members.
So
we
wanted
to
highlight
that
activity
because
which
has
been
very
productive
in
making
one
of
these
hot
sites
no
longer
be
very
hot.
H
This
second
item
I
like
to
highlight,
which
is
very
consistent
with
everybody
else,
talking
about
having
affordable
homes,
okay,
affordable
homes
at
a
fast
pace
and
large
number
of
them,
because
our
need
is
really
great
and
having
100
200
units
come
around
one
project
coming
finding
a
piece
of
land,
then
coming
working
with
our
planning
department
in
a
iterative
process
taking
months
to
get
the
project
entitled,
then
working
with
the
housing
to
get
nofa
funds
waiting.
For
that
then,
to
County
to
give
the
fund
then
just
get
the
tax
credits.
H
We
have
suggested
to
evaluate
that,
if
changing
the
process,
where
City
buys
some
X
number
of
properties,
does
some
pre-planning
on
it
figure
out
how
many
units
can
be
built
on
that
one
clear:
the
community
activity
on
it
figure
out
the
environmental
impact.
So
all
of
those
things
get
taken
care
of
before
even
a
non-profit
or
a
developer
gets
involved.
Once
we
have
that
kind
of
information
in
hand
that
we
have
a
property
which
can
build
200
units
on
it
and
it
is
met
the
environmental
impact,
it
has
also
met
the
community
requirements.
H
We
can
get
a
developer
or
a
non-profit
come
out
and
say:
okay
from
nofa.
We
have
this
many
funds
available
for
this
site.
Please
tell
us
if
you
can
build
something
like
that
and
they
may
meet
some
minor
tweaks
doing
that
for
many
number
of
units
of
the
property
in
town.
At
one
time
in
the
city
we
maybe
be
able
to
get
no
more
usage
of
the
funds
than
we
were
planning
to
use,
but
we
may
be
able
to
get
a
large
number
of
projects
completed
a
lot
sooner
than
the
current
process
yields
us.
H
So
this
goes
and
mayor
the
direction
of
the
Innovation
and
creativity
or
out
of
the
box,
thinking
not
sure
of
all
the
practicality
issues
in
it,
but
have
put
it
on
for
consideration
so
that
we
can
experiment
on
it
or
actually
embark
on
it
depending
upon
what
the
city
staff
comes.
It
will
have
implication
on
how
much
City
staff
is
needed.
How
much
of
the
work
will
have
to
be
done
at
a
pre-rfp
if
you
want
to
call
it?
H
I
Yeah
I
just
want
to
say
it's
wonderful,
to
see
everyone
getting
along
accepting
recommendations
and
amendments
say:
yeah
I
was
wondering
if
that
was
what
in
fact
was
going
to
happen,
but
it's
nice
to
see
that,
but
but
in
all
seriousness,
I
would
just
say
I
think
it's
also
important
to
acknowledge
that
the
difficult
conversations
are
going
to
happen
later
and
I
acknowledge
that
I
think
it's
important
just
to
recognize
that,
because
there's
some
things
in
the
budget
message
that,
for
example,
weren't
addressed
as
deeply
as
I
would
have
liked
like
say,
parks
and
things
of
that
nature
that
I
know
councilmember
Cohen
lifted
up,
but
I
just
wanted
to
express
that
and
I'll
be
supportive
of
the
message.
C
Yeah
I'm
here
I
just
got
a
question
on
on
appendix
B
of
your
budget.
Message
with
regards
to
cost
estimates
for
for
individual
Council
budget
documents
is,
is
the
the
verbiage
that
each
council
member
should
submit
no
more
than
five
cost
estimates
binding
or
or.
B
So
let
me
clear
yeah
thanks
for
the
question,
there's
two
different
things:
I
want
to
separate
out.
There
are
budget
documents
which
are
and
we'll
provide
a
template,
essentially
short
memos
requesting
an
investment.
Typically,
it's
one
time,
but
doesn't
have
to
be
typically
it's
in
one's
District,
but
doesn't
have
to
be
typically
smaller,
because
the
entire
fund
for
everyone
up
here
is
on
the
order
of
three
million
dollars.
B
Preparing
for
the
June
message
in
a
new
fiscal
year.
Staff's
request,
which
I
support
and
put
in
the
message,
is
that
we
limit
each
of
our
offices
here
to
five
cost
estimates,
which
is
when
you
make
a
request
to
the
city,
manager's
budget
office
and
Jim
Shannon's,
our
director
here
in
the
Box
to
go.
Do
the
exact
costing
of
a
proposed
program
service,
whatever
it
might
be?
Now,
what's
the
difference?
Well,
for
many
of
your
budget
docs,
you
will
want
a
cost
estimate,
because
it's
a
city,
service
or
program
that's
going
to
require
Staffing.
B
However,
you
may
have
other
budget
docs
that
do
not
require
City
Staffing.
You
might
want
to
give
five
thousand
dollars
to
the
local
PTA
to
do
something
you
might
want
to
give
a
scholarship
for
something
you
might
want
to
do
some
sort
of
direct
transfer
which
could
be
appropriate
for
a
budget
doc
sent
to
my
office,
but
would
not
require
cities.
The
city
manager's
budget
office
to
go.
Do
a
detailed
cost
estimate.
C
I
gotcha
no
I
understand
the
BD
process,
but
I
was
asking
more
specifically
that,
if
you
know
at
the
end
of
your
diet,
says
all
budget
documents,
I
recommend
the
city
provided
service.
So
if
we
want
to
do
an
example,
Viva
parks
at
a
at
a
at
a
at
a
park
in
in
my
district
I
would
need
a
one
of
those
five
cost
estimates.
You.
C
All
right!
Well,
what
if
it's
you
know
from
the
from
the
Parks
and
Recreation
Department?
That's
not
an
official
cost
estimate
document.
Since
they're,
pretty
cut
and
dry
they're
they've
been
done
for
numerous
years.
Would
that
suffice
as
and
and
still
have
five
other
budget
documents,
estimates
or
cost
estimates
in
place?
Does
that
make
sense?
I
just
think
five
such
an
arbitrary
number,
and
for
many
of
us
who
are
new,
we
may
have
already
more
than
5
Live
cost
estimate
request.
I'm,
not
I'm,
not
saying
I'm
going
to
submit
22
or
you.
K
C
Right
right
right,
but
what
I'm
saying
is
you
know?
Five
is
just
an
arbitrary
number
that
you
know
I'd
like
a
little
bit
more
well,
you
know
a
little
bit
more
fluidity
and
I
understand
staffs
the
the
pressure
we're
putting
on
staff
and
I'm
cognizant
of
that.
But
you
know
if
it's
seven,
eight,
you
know
nine.
Is
it
a
hard
cut
off
at
five
currently.
L
Yeah
I'm,
just
let
me
weigh
in
here
you
know
for
years
when
we
started
this
cost
estimate
process.
The
reason
we
started
it
was
because
council
members
would
be
submitting
BDS
to
the
mayor's
office
and
they
were
not
close
to
being
correct
on
the
cost
to
be
able
to
be
implemented.
So
we
started
this
process
out
to
give
you
a
better
tool
of
what
it
would
really
cost
when
you're
ultimately
approving
the
budget.
L
L
So
we're
trying
to
put
some
parameters
around
that
we
think,
is
reasonable.
However,
I
will
say
with
the
mbas
that
have
already
been
asked,
for
that
is
a
lot
of
cost
assessments.
We're
already
going
to
be
providing
you
to
give
you
proxies
for
a
lot
of
other
things,
so
that
that's
why
we
try.
We
wanted
to
suggest
a
process
this
year.
That
would
be
hopefully
helpful
to
the
council
members,
given
that
there
is
a
finite
amount
of
money
that
the
BDS
usually
come
out
of,
which
is
the
the
Central
Services
Reserve.
L
Although
we
will
help
you
in
finding
other
funding
sources
so
that
money
can
be
stretched
as
much
as
possible,
because
we
know
that
we
have
a
service
shortage
to
our
community,
but
that's
kind
of
the
Genesis
of
why
we
are
being
bold
and
proposing
this
this
year,
because
it's
just
been
frankly
a
nightmare,
the
last
several
years
and
trying
to
get
that
all
done
within
this
very
short
window
of
time
frame.
But
it's
completely
up
to
the
the
council
to
you
know,
give
us
the
direction
that
you
want
to
give
us.
L
But
we
wanted
to
to
propose
something
we
thought
was
reasonable
and
and
again
you
all
get.
You
will
get
a
lot
of
cost
estimates
because
you're
giving
you
know,
we've
got
information
now
that
that
you've
asked
for
with
all
of
these
the
the
substitute
motion
we
will
be
giving
you
even
more
that
could
be
used
for
any
council
member
throughout
this
process.
So
that's
just
what
the
rationale
was.
I
just
want
you
to.
C
Be
prepared,
thank
you.
Thank
you.
City
manager,
I,
I,
I,
I,
I,
appreciate
that
and
and
I
I
I
I
I.
My
follow-up
question
would
be
so
if
we
get
a
department
giving
us
an
estimate,
that's
not
an
official
cost
estimate.
Would
that
suffice
for
the
administration,
or
does
it
have
to
be
an
official
cost
estimate
through
the
the
budget
office?
It.
L
Has
to
be
officially
through
the
budget
office,
because
that
is
the
check
and
balance
for
this
organization,
because
they
have
all
the
latest
costs
of
everything,
and
so
they
work.
We,
the
budget
office
works
with
all
the
Departments
to
develop
it,
but
sometimes
we
can.
The
budget
office
might
also
find
an
alternative
way
to
make
it
maybe
a
little
cheaper
again
to
have
in
the
spirit
of
getting
as
many
things
funded
as
possible.
So
there
is
a
check
and
balance,
and
we
do
have
the
budget
director
sign
off
on
those
cost
estimates
great.
C
My
concern
is,
you
know
as
it'll,
you
know
as
a
first
time
you
know
first
year,
council,
member
I,
fear
it
it
limits
and
hinders,
and
or
my
my
ability
to
to
advocate
for
my
residence
if
I'm
just
you
know
stuck
at
five
cost
estimates
for
for
potential
budget
document
requests
and
then
and
I
understand
the
the
administration's
concerns.
But
you
know
the
residents
also
have
you
know
a
lot
of
a
lot
of
asks
and
and
it's
a
fine
balance
and
and
that's
all
I'm
all
I'm
asking
for.
L
And
totally
understand
that
and
respect
that
it's
just
and
we're
hoping
that
we
will
address
even
with
this
very,
very
tight
budget,
with
all
of
the
information
that
we've
received
from
all
of
the
council
today
that
we
will
address
the
best,
we
can
the
needs
that
have
been
presented
today
through
this
through
their
main
budget.
So
but
we
know
that
there's
many
many
other
I
call
it.
We
have
a
service
shortfall,
there's
many
many
services
that
we
need
to
continue
to
fund.
So
we
can
certainly
talk
offline
too.
L
B
Yeah
and
I
and
I
support
that
proposal,
and
that's
why
I
put
in
the
message,
though
I
I,
understand,
I,
understand
the
very
real
pressure
council
members
face
and,
and
once
again
I
would
just
highlight
that
a
number
of
budget
documents
can
absolutely
be
smaller,
targeted
grants
to
community-based
organizations
doing
the
work
and
I
think
that's
something
we
can
certainly
evaluate
and
is
appropriate
for
a
budget
especute
but
I
I
think
the
fundamental,
and
this
is
kind
of
the
undercurrent
of
the
entire
message.
B
B
We've
said
it
so
much
I
think
we've
forgotten
what
it
actually
means
in
practice
and
the
single
best
way
that
we
can
retain
staff
prevent
staff
from
burning
out,
maintain
good
morale
and
deliver
high
quality
services
to
our
community
is
to
empower
staff
by
focusing
on
fewer,
bigger,
more
important
things
and
freeing
them
up
to
focus
on
execution
and
I.
Just
worry
between
the
20
to
30
new
things
that
we've
now
added
for
additional
research,
plus
what
I'm
sure
will
be
50
cost.
B
Estimates
were
at
risk
of
going
right
back
to
we've,
been
in
the
position
many
times
of
passing
recommendations
and
and
committing
ourselves
to
things
that
we
can't
even
implement
so
I.
Just
I
want
to
emphasize
that
we've
got
to
stop
stretching
ourselves
too
thin
to
actually
deliver
on
our
promises,
but
I,
but
I
get
the
pressure.
It's
real
and
it's
a
tough
trade-off.
So,
okay,
let's
keep
going
it
was
sorry
councilmember
did
you
have
anything
else?
Were
you
was
your
hand
still.
C
Up
no
I
just
wanted
the
rationale
of
of
this.
Considering
you
know
the,
even
even
in
your
your
budget
message,
you
recommend
it's
Council
submit
BDS
as
part
of
it,
so
yeah.
B
Yeah
and
typically
I
think
what
I've
seen
in
recent
years
is
that
we've,
the
mayor's
the
past
mayor,
typically
Incorporated
about
five
or
five
or
so
per
per
Council
Office
into
the
June
message
that
was
about
where
we
ended
up,
but
sometimes
we'd
have
an
office.
Ask
for
15
estimates,
and
so
hopefully
folks
really
think
hard
about
prioritization
here,
because
I
think
that's
that's
the
situation,
we're
in
okay
but
appreciate
the
point
and
councilman
Ortiz.
G
Thank
you,
Marin.
Thank
you
for
the
to
the
administration
for
clarification,
I,
just
I,
guess
I
just
want
to
clarify
more
more
deeply,
because
I
do
have
a
dish
I'm
representing
the
district
that
has
a
lot
of
needs,
I'm
having
several
organizations,
neighborhood
associations,
non-profits,
we're
already
reaching
out
out
to
me
whether
it's
for
like
sponsoring
scholarships,
you
know
the
Hispanic
Foundation
involved.
You
know
all
these
big
events.
Does
that
mean
that
I
could
only
do
five
things
and
I
can't
none
of
those
require
a
cost
estimate.
Okay,
a.
B
Cross-Estimate
and
Jim
or
Jennifer
may
want
to
chime
in
here,
but
I'll
just
tell
you
from
experience
when
we've
requested
even
something
as
a
Viva,
Kaye
or
a
or
or
a
park
activation
type
program.
It
initially
seems
very
straightforward
and
say:
oh,
this
will
be
really
simple:
I
need
a
couple
staff
it'll
take
a
couple
hours
we'll
do
it
for
ten
thousand
dollars,
and
then
we
realize
oh
actually,
we
need
some
security.
B
We
could
get
ourselves
in
trouble,
saying
saying
that
we
are
committing
to
things
in
the
budget
and
that
we
can't
actually
deliver
on
and
then
we're
an
even
greater
risk
of
of
eroding
trust
in
government,
but
for
a
grant
or
a
sponsorship
or
a
scholarship
or
those
kinds
of
things
where
you're
partnering
with
a
community-based
organization
and
and
they
know
how
to
deliver
that
service.
That
does
not
require
a
cost
estimate
because
you're
giving
them
the
lump
sum
Grant
and
it's
up
to
them
to
deliver.
L
Yeah,
so
just
to
add
on
so
in
that
case
our
thought
process
is,
you
can
submit
as
many
BDS
as
you
want
to
for
those
type
of
things
we're
just
talking
about
the
city
provided
Services,
just
to
give
that
that
distinction
there,
because
again
you
you
make
that
decision
of
what
you
would
want
to
Grant
out
and
you
don't
need
our
help
with
that.
It's
not
totally
on
on
your
on
your
decision.
G
M
M
Correct
yeah,
so
I
think
with
the
message
talks
about
some
middle
dates,
starting
on
April
24th
looks
like
yeah
yeah.
L
So
the
issue
is:
is
that
we
well?
What
we
did
this
year
was
because
also
some
feedback
I
received
from
Council
Members
last
year.
Is
they
wanted
a
little
bit
more
time
to
think
about
what
cost
estimates
they
wanted
and
be
able
to
submit
them
a
little
bit
earlier?
So
we
we
have
them
on
being
beginning
to
begin
to
be
submitted
on
April
24th
and
then
the
deadline
to
submit
them
to
the
manager's
office
is
May
10th
and
this
and
then
we
will
turn
them
around
to
you
by
May
19th.
L
L
So
that's
what
that
time
frame
looks
like,
but
just
to
be
clear,
what's
happening
between
April
24th,
and
you
know
that
May
10th
is
they're,
producing
the
proposed
budget
with
a
thousand
page
document,
the
producing
the
capital
budget
and
CIP
thousand
page
document.
We
want
you
to
have
the
benefit
of
what's
in
the
budget.
So
you
can
see
what
gaps
there
may
be
so
we'll
be
again
like
we've
done
in
the
last
many
many
years.
L
That's
why
there's
it's
a
lot
and
then
we'll
be
preparing
for
all
the
budget
study
sessions
and
also,
during
that
time,
preparing
all
the
manager
budget
addendums
and
often
those
can
be
50
or
60
written
reports
for
you
as
well.
So
that's
to
give
you
that
context
of
what's
happening
during
that
time.
So
that's
why
this
process
calls
for
a
manager's
budget
request,
which
is
those
budget
principles.
A
L
High
level
of
how
you
would
you
know,
direct
us
of
how
to
prepare
the
budget,
along
with
the
specifics
that
are
that
are
being
discussed
today
through
the
mayor's
March
budget
message
and
the
Amendments
that
are
being
discussed
and
then
we're
going
going
from
there.
So
that's
why
we're
we've
submitted
it
as
a
something
for
consideration
for
the
council.
G
Okay,
no
I
definitely
understand
the
need
to
prioritize.
You
know
this
is
my
first
budget
process,
so
I
guess
I'm
just
hesitant
to
being
put
into
a
little
box.
I,
don't
know,
what's
going
to
happen
throughout
this
process,
who's
going
to
reach
out
to
me
for
something.
That's
probably
important,
but
I
just
hope
that
there's
consideration
in
regards
to
needs
of
districts,
yeah.
I
Yeah
I
was
just
wondering
the
city
manager
can
can
remind
us
and
me
how,
for
example,
I
suspect
several
of
us
are
going
to
be
asking
for
for
cost
estimates
related
to
Aviva
Parks,
or
something
like
that.
Obviously,
in
my
mind,
a
lot
of
those
are
similar,
and
so
how
does
the
budget
office,
or
maybe
it's
the
gym?
How
is
that
approached
those
boilers.
I
In
on
you,
especially
for
example,
I
I
assume,
there's
likely
going
to
be
the
case
that
a
few
of
us
are
going
to
ask
for
Viva
Park
events
right.
We
want
a
budget
estimate,
so
if
District
8
council
members
submits
that
right
and
you
give
them
that
estimate
then
I
submit
something.
Is
it
safe
to
say
you're,
just
it's
going
to
be
a
cut
and
Pace
like
okay,
you
know
we.
We
just
gave
this
the
district
date.
Here's
the
information
or
how
do
you
all
approach
that.
M
I,
you
know
I
think,
to
the
extent
some
of
the
stuff
is
pretty
cut
and
paste,
and
you
know
and
to
be
clear
departments,
you
know
bust
their
their
butt
to
turn
those
around
so
I
think,
and
it's
hard
it's
hard
to
say
until
you
actually
have
the
request
in
front
of
you
I
think
there
is
some
standardization
for
how
they
can
apply,
what
those
costs
are,
but
there's
often
nuances
in
what
actually
the
request
is
so
I
think
it
does
vary
a
little
bit,
probably
also,
depending
on
the
type
of
Park
I.
I
L
So
yeah
we'll
think
that
through
a
little
bit
more
because
again
I
the
whole
point
is
that
balance
of
trying
to
get
through
the
budget
process
but
also
give
the
council
what
it
needs
to
do
their
job
and
so
I
don't
want
to
take
away
from
that,
but
we're
trying
to
balance
both,
but
we'll
think
about
that.
How
we
can
be
helpful
in
that
regard.
Yeah.
B
B
O
Good
evening,
mayor
and
Council
kaparkness
Deputy
city
manager,
I,
along
with
Lee
Wilcox
and
Dolan
Beckel,
had
the
privilege
of
serving
as
the
Emergency
Operations
Center
Director
for
over
a
year
and
a
half
guiding
our
City's
response
to
the
covid-19
pandemic.
O
O
One
of
our
guiding
principles
in
the
Emergency
Operations
Center
is
to
be
Open,
Candid
and
direct
in
our
Communications
and
giving
feedback
and
receiving
feedback,
and,
as
part
of
that
practice,
we
have
the
practice
of
an
after-action
report,
which
typically
is
done
after
the
action
and
in
the
case
of
covid
Lee
and
I,
made
the
decision
to
do
the
initial
active
after
Action
Report.
While
we
were
in
the
middle
of
the
pandemic,
so
that
we
could
get
the
feedback
and
adjust
our
course.
P
So
we'll
start
with
the
after
Action
Report
overview
and
the
content
and
I'll
move
it
over
to
Susie
who
I'll
introduce
in
a
minute
I'm
Ray
Reardon,
the
director
of
the
office
of
emergency
management
good
evening,
mayor
council
and
members
in
the
audience.
P
The
purpose
of
the
after
action
report,
as
indicated
by
Kip,
was
to
is
to
memorialize
the
efforts,
the
projects,
the
the
work
that
was
accomplished,
the
successes,
the
challenges
and
come
up
with
recommendations
for
future
Improvement.
This
helps
us
meet
Federal
requirements
when
it
comes
to
Grant
applications,
as
well
as
state
applications
for
funding.
They
like
to
see
those
after
action
reports
to
understand
what
we
accomplished,
what
we
didn't
and
what
we
plan
to
do
in
the
future.
P
P
There
we
go
this
after
action,
folks,
this
particular
report.
As
tip
indicated,
we
had
two
reports,
so
this
report
focuses
on
November
20th
to
February
22nd.
We
do
recognize
that
we
continued
2022..
We
do
recognize.
We
continue
to
do
work
additional
work
into
a
latest
November
of
2022
with
things
like
vaccination
and
other
programs,
so
it
just
didn't,
terminate
in
favor
we're
picking
a
point
in
time
when
things
had
improved.
P
So
this
plan
does
take
a
look
at
what
we
did
Cover
first
in
the
first
report,
it
references
some
recommendations
that
were
similar
just
to
continue
doing
those
operations
or
updates
and
our
pandemic
response
plan,
which
actually
started
in
January
24
prior
to
the
response
to
the
pandemic
going
on
because
we
saw
it
coming
and
we
had
to
prepare.
And
lastly,
we
did
the
council
did
approve
the
first
round
or
did
accept
the
first
report
on
May
4th
of
2021.
P
So
this
is
a
follow-up
to
that
now,
I'm,
going
to
turn
over
to
Susie
Susie
Schmitz
is
from
constant
Associates.
She
was
a
lead
provider
in
the
review.
There
was
a
whole
team
of
staff
that
assisted
many
workshops,
and
many
projects
were
pulled
together
to
evaluate
the
response.
Q
Thank
you
Ray
and
good
evening,
Council
and
mayor
and
everyone
else
who
is
attending
and
listening
from
home
I
have
the
privilege
to
be
able
to
tell
you
a
little
bit
about
the
content
that
goes
into
this
after
action
report.
So
what
I'll
be
doing
today
is
just
going
through
a
few
slides
that
briefly
highlight
some
of
the
key
findings.
The
findings
that
we
include
within
this
after
Action
Report
include
strengths,
notable
areas
for
improvement
and
recommendations,
so
those
will
be
the
ones
that
I
go
through
and
I'll
start
with
the
notable
strengths.
Q
The
next
things
that
I
would
like
to
go
over
as
I
mentioned,
we
have
the
strengths,
we
have
areas
for
improvement
and
we
have
recommendations.
One
of
the
best
ways
to
be
able
to
consolidate
recommendations
is
to
put
it
into
what
we
call
an
improvement
plan,
which
is
a
complementary
document
to
the
after
action
report.
In
that
Improvement
plan,
we
list
both
the
areas
for
improvement
and
the
recommendations.
Q
So
the
first
area
for
improvement,
and
then
the
recommendation
that
I
would
like
to
highlight
is
that
we
found
during
our
data
collection,
that
there
was
a
reported,
limited
training
for
Emergency
Operations
staff,
which
could
be
addressed
by
expanding
Emergency
Management
courses
in
the
multi-year
training
and
exercise
plan.
I'd
like
to
point
out
that
this
plan
has
already
been
approved
in
December
2022,
and
this
recommendation
is
currently
underway
being
addressed.
Q
We
also
found
within
it
was
also
reported
to
us
that
there
was
conflicting
job
expectations
of
Staff
in
the
Emergency
Operations
Center,
as
they
were
tasked
to
fill
both
their
response
role,
as
well
as
their
daily
responsibilities
and
duties
in
other
departments.
The
city's
continuity
plan
could
include
identifying
Personnel
needed
to
be
able
to
maintain
essential
functions
as
well
as
identify
the
number
of
individuals
that
would
be
needed
during
a
Disaster
Response
in
order
to
different
differentiate
those
roles
and
move
away
from
having
dual
responsibilities
and
as
of
December
2022.
Q
Our
data
also
showed
that
the
library
system
was
tasked
with
reopening,
while
staff
were
unavailable,
as
many
of
them
are
responding
to
the
Emergency
Operations,
Center
and
working.
So
what
we've
recommended
is
that
working
with
City
departments
to
increase
the
number
of
people
who
could
respond
to
the
Emergency
Operations
Center
could
help
increase
the
labor
pool
available
for
emergency
response
roles
and
mitigate
this
particular
issue
in
the
future.
Q
Q
Staff
also
reported
lacking
resources
to
adequately
support
people
with
disabilities
and
individuals
with
access
and
functional
needs.
During
this
disaster,
with
departments
and
partner
organizations
assessing
and
identifying
how
to
improve
this,
there
will
be
opportunities
to
really
look
at
unique
and
unique
challenges
and
ways
to
improve
this
here
within
San
Jose
I
would
like
to
point
out
that
the
city
has
already
started
to
take
some
of
these
actions.
Q
And
last,
but
certainly
not
least,
the
last
example
we'd
like
to
provide
is
that
we
found
that
shifting
out
of
the
Disaster
Response
roles
and
back
to
day-to-day
duties
made
it
difficult
for
staff
to
add
risk
recovery,
active
activities
to
their
responsibilities
as
well,
and
that
therefore
meant
that
less
trained
staff
were
expected
to
pull
be
pulled
in
to
support
these
recovery
programs.
So
the
recommendation
was
to
explore
necessary
training
or
possibly
just-in-time
training
for
staff
who
would
be
involved
in
recovery
roles.
This
could
include
things
like
Behavioral,
Health
Training,
as
well
as
trauma-informed
care.
P
O
And
as
we
close,
it's
useful
to
remember
the
last
two
principles
that
we
have
in
the
Emergency
Operations
Center,
the
very
first
one,
of
course
was
be
compassion
in
action.
This
Snapshot
from
August
2021
is
a
reminder
of
all
of
the
new
services
and
activities
that
the
Emergency
Operations
Center
and
the
team
spun
up
to
respond
to
the
pandemic,
including
the
feeding
that
we've
talked
about
the
education
and
child
care
safe
spaces.
The
digital
inclusion
with
the
15
000
hot
spots.
O
O
While
all
of
us
were
pivoting
to
the
pandemic
response
and
the
hundreds
and
hundreds
of
Community,
Partners
and
neighborhood
organizations
and
Community
organizations
that
came
out
and
saw
us
through
this
hardest
of
times
really
really
one
of
the
Privileges
of
command
is
to
tell
the
story
of
others
and
everything
that
we
did
was
the
team
so
big
appreciation
to
them.
What
we'll
do
is
we'll
take
this.
We
will
learn
from
it.
B
S
Hi
baby
again
I
hope
my
right
just
to
thanks
a
lot
for
this
item
on
the
previous
City
budget
item
or
a
person
commenting
on
certain
work
pay
their
work.
Good
luck
with
that.
I've
tried
hard
the
past
few
years
to
really
ask
the
question:
what
do
we
have
do?
We
have
to
prepare
something
even
more
addressed
to
say,
earthquake,
wise
I
think
we're
all
asked
that
question
I
think
I've
been
trying
to
answer
that
I
haven't
seem
like
it
may
be
happening,
but
we
have
to
be
clear
with
each
other.
S
T
T
That's
number
one
number
two
there's
a
precedent
for
that:
the
backbone
of
San
Jose's
economy
is
agriculture.
Who
were
the
ones
picking
the
fruit,
my
community
once
again,
San
Jose
would
have
folded.
Let
me
let
me
ask
you
to
think
about
something,
just
real
quick.
What
would
have
happened?
Had
there
been
no
Latinos
working
in
the
construction
in
the
food
industry,
packing
the
packing
the
the
trucks
unloading,
the
trucks.
P
D
U
You
ma'am
yeah
I'd,
agree
with
what
the
other
two
speakers
said,
and
we
do
need
to
thank
the
Latino
community
and
a
lot
of
other
communities
who
you
know
the
store
workers,
firemen,
the
police,
the
people
who
work
in
the
agricultural
industry.
In
my
case,
the
people
who
work
at
7-Eleven,
because
that's
what
made
me
survive
the
pandemic
because
I
don't
cook
very
well
but
anyways,
it
I
hope
we
learned
something
from
it.
It
was
sad
that
at
the
federal
level
it
was
handled
like
a
you
know,
WWE.
U
G
Thank
you,
mayor
I
also
want
to
share
my
gratitude
to
staff
who
really
worked
fast
in
order
to
provide
support
resources
to
some
of
our
most
vulnerable
communities,
whether
it
be
residents
renters.
You
know,
members
of
our
houseless
population
I,
thank
you
for
the
work
and
all
the
staff
of
the
city
of
San
Jose
for
for
their
work
and
dedication,
risking
your
own
lives
to
infection
during
that
tumultuous
time.
So
thank
you.
G
I
do
have
specific
questions
in
regards
to
the
small
business
Outreach,
because
obviously
I've
been
an
advocate
for
small
business.
For
a
long
time,
I
saw
that
there
was
a
survey
that
was
done
to
small
businesses
and
there
was
unfortunately,
only
one
response
from
a
Latino
business
owner,
zero
responses
from
a
Vietnamese
business
owner
and
only
two
responses
from
a
Chinese
business
owner.
G
I
know
that
you
all
the
the
city
was
translating
communication,
so
I
just
wanted
to
see
what
the
staff
thoughts
are
in
regards
to
I
guess
the
the
lack
of
participation
in
that
survey.
Oh,
thank
you.
Blogger.
V
Sure,
good
evening,
councilmember,
Ortiz,
mayor
and
Council
blog
is
a
lot
deputy
director
for
business
development,
so
the
survey
sample
size
was
actually
a
pretty
small
survey
sample
size.
If
you're.
Referring
to
this,
the
survey
in
the
appendix
so
I
think
there
were
about
165,
66
respondents
and,
quite
honestly,
I
think
that
there's
probably
a
couple
of
different
reasons
for
that
we
were
actually
I
mean
we.
We
changed
our
entire
Focus
during
the
covid
pandemic
from
the
small
business
or
the
business
development
team
change,
its
focus
to
obviously
helping
small
business.
V
So
we
were
actually
doing
a
lot
of
communication
in
multiple
languages
with
the
business
community
on
a
regular
basis.
We
had
twice
weekly
webinars.
We
had.
We
have
business
and
technical
assistance
providers
reaching
out
to
to
folks
and
so
I
think
that
there
was
some
a
little
bit
of
fatigue.
Quite
honestly,
by
the
time
we
got
to
the
end
with
folks.
V
Responding
to
us,
I
can
tell
you
that
we
did
have
very
good
responses
for
our
webinar
attendees
and,
and
we
did
have
a
good
response
in
our
kind
of
back
and
forth
communication
from
folks
that
had
access
to
PPP.
So
if
you
look
at
the
PPP
numbers
for
San
Jose,
if
you
look
at
the
grant
applications,
we
were
pretty
successful.
G
Thank
thank
you,
so
much
Blake
and
I'm
glad
to
hear
that
the
city
is
moving
towards
a
direction.
I
know
that
you're
working,
of
course,
with
a
Latino
business,
Foundation,
Prosperity
lab
so
I,
know
we're
at
the
Forefront
during
that
pandemic.
V
Absolutely
so
some
of
the
work
that
we're
doing
is
actually
along
Tilly
Road
in
the
formation
of
a
Tully
Road
business
organization,
neighborhood
Business
Association.
We
are
also
specifically
our
two
of
the
positions
that
were
funded
through
arpa
in
in
OED
Business
Development
one
was
Vietnamese
speaking,
the
other
was
Spanish-speaking.
We
hadn't
had
that
before
and
the
so
that
has
actually
allowed
us
to
make
pretty
significant
inroads
into
the
Vietnamese
business
community
that
we
hadn't
before
the
other
thing
that
we
are
doing
that
came
out
of
covid
on
a
much
regular
basis.
G
Yeah,
it's
sorry
to
had
to
we
had
to
go
through
a
pandemic
to
get
more
more
focused,
but
I'm
glad
that
I
guess
that
this
is
one
thing
that
we
did
learn
because
a
lot
of
our
especially
our
immigrant
businesses,
they're
not
going
to
walk
through
the
door
at
City
Hall
a
lot
of
them,
don't
know
about
that
type
of
stuff.
So
I
guess
that
goes
to
my
next
question.
How
did
how
were
these
surveys
sent
out?
How
were
they
sent
out
to
the
businesses.
V
They
were
in
a
variety
of
different
ways:
I
know
that
we
did
do.
We
did
send
out
the
survey
to
our
mailing
list
kind
of
the
SJ
economy
mailing
list.
But
quite
honestly,
we
are
not
able
to
parse
that
mailing.
V
It
list
out
where
you
could
parse
it
out
to
a
small
business
versus,
let's
say
a
corporate
partner,
and
so
one
of
the
things
that
we
are
working
on
also
with
arpa
funding,
is
really
being
able
to
fine-tune
who
our
distribution
is
going
to
and
really
be
able
to
Target
Communications
to
the
small
business
owner
when
we've
got
programs
and
initiatives
that
we
want
to
communicate
with
them
about,
and
then
our
corporate
and
larger
business
partners.
V
G
No
I,
I
100
agree,
I'm,
not
sure
how
many
a
small
businesses
on
Alum,
Rock,
Avenue
or
Story
Road
are
subscribed
to
the
the
Department's
email,
but
that's
why
I
definitely
advocate
for
boots
on
the
ground
people
going
out
there.
You
know
it's
almost
like
Community,
organizing,
it's
big
business
advocacy
but
I'm
very
proud
of
the
direction
the
city
is
making
some
of
the
people
who
I
think
I've
been
trying
to
meet
with
the
city
regarding
small
businesses
are
now
being
invited
to
the
table
and
I
just
really
want
to.
W
Thank
you.
Thank
you
for
that
presentation
and
Kip.
Thank
you
for
starting
with
centering
us
on
what
this
was
all
about,
and
the
loss
of
so
many
lives
that
we
lost
during
that
that
time.
It
was
a
little
over
three
years
ago
that
we
went
into
lockdown
and
I.
Think
those
of
us
who
are
on
Council
and
those
who
were.
W
There
was
so
much
going
on
that
the
efforts
of
our
staff
is,
must
be
acknowledged
and
and
celebrated
really
the
efforts
that
they
put
into
it
because
it
truly
they
sacrificed
so
much
to
do
their
jobs,
both
their
regular
day
jobs
and
then
the
pandemic.
The
Emergency
Operations
Center
jobs,
so
I
just
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you
for
the
work
of
the
EOC
and
all
that
you
and
your
team
did
to
get
us
through
those
times
and
it
was
traumatizing
for
all
of
us.
W
It
was
very
difficult
for
all
of
us,
but
you
were
more
on
the
on
the
ground
floor
really
addressing
it
in
an
in
every
day.
W
I
also
want
to
ask
because
Thursday
we
have
a
special
meeting
on
the
Emergency
Operations
Center
and
I'm
I'm,
going
to
reflect
that
the
last
time
we
did
this
was
shortly
before
pandemic
occurred,
so
I'm,
hoping
that
nothing
like
that
happens
again,
that
we
don't
have
an
earthquake
or
something
else
in
the
next
day.
But
if
we
do
we'll
be
prepared
right
and
and
so
how
do
you
feel
going
into
the
the
meeting
the
special
session
on
Thursday?
X
O
O
And
so
that
is,
that
is
the
task
that
I'm
most
concerned
about
now
is
making
sure
we
create
the
space
and
opportunity
for
the
brilliant
emerging
leaders
in
our
team
to
be
trained
and
prepared
for
what
comes
next.
But
we
as
a
team
we
are
prepared
for
whatever
will
come
and
we
will
stand
ready
to
respond.
W
That's
wonderful,
I
really
have
no
doubt
that
you
are
prepared
and
that
we
will
stand
behind
you
and
support
you
in
any
any
way
that
we
can
I
just
want
to
say.
Thank
you
with
all
my
gratitude
and
all
my
heart
to
you
and
all
of
your
staffs
for
everything
that
you
did
to
get
us
through
the
pandemic
and
while
I
know
it's
not,
we
still
have
phases
of
it.
W
People
are
still
getting
covered,
it's
not
how
it
was
in
the
early
days
and
the
before
times
aren't
going
we're
not
going
back
to
the
before
times,
but
we've
learned
a
lot
and
I
believe
that
our
staff
is
so
resilient
and
strong,
but
we
do
need
to
pay
attention
to
their
mental
health
and
give
them
the
space
to
to
be
okay
with
some
of
the
things
they're
going
through.
So
thank
you.
H
I
think
I
endorse
all
the
stuff
which
my
colleague,
council
member
Pam
Foley,
has
said,
and
I
personally
can
see
that
the
numbers
which
you
presented
like
the
food
distribution,
they
do
tell
one
dimension
of
the
problem
which
you
faced
and
how
nicely
you
handle.
The
other
dimension
you
were
facing
in
this
particular
case
was
the
all
the
people
who
were
supposed
to
be
helpful.
H
They
themselves
were
going
through
some
special
challenges
because
their
families
were
going
through
some
catching
covert.
They
had
to
be
now
quarantined
and
then
they
cannot
come
and
help,
even
though
they
may
be
wanting
to
so
the
challenges
of
that
uniqueness
of
people
having
to
be
quarantined,
families
having
to
be
quarantined
and
then
the
logistics
of
managing
that
level
of
distribution
when
your
people
who
are
supposed
to
help
themselves
are
actually
needing
help.
So
recognizing
that
behind
the
scene,
activity
which
must
have
been
a
logistical
nightmare,
you
guys
handled
it
beautifully.
H
The
vaccination
rates
are
very
impressive.
That
I
myself
received
so
many
Communications
on
it.
I
found
out
where
the
vaccination
centers
were
how
to
get
the
appointment
on
that
one.
While
my
own
medical
provider
Kaiser
wasn't
able
to
get
the
vaccine
for
people
of
certain
age
brackets
and
all
that,
but
from
the
city
we
were
able
to
get
that
happen
and
I
got
my
vaccination
from
the
city
before
I
was
eligible
to
get
it
from
Kaiser.
H
P
When
we
have
applications
for
Grants
and
things
of
that
nature,
they
want
to
know
do
we
do
after
action
reports
after
emergency?
So
this
fills
that
requirement.
If
it's
asked
when
we
do
the
applications,
I.
H
H
Okay,
very
good.
Congratulations
on
all
the
work
you
did,
even
though
it
was
a
very
hard
work
and
some
sad
work
because
we
lost
so
many
people,
and
but
congratulations
on
having
done
it
well
as
as
stuff
a
work,
it
was.
Thank
you.
B
F
Yeah
Kip,
thank
you
so
much
for
for
that
presentation
for
for
Ace,
City
employee,
like
myself,
that's
been
off
and
on
for
20
years
for
many
of
us,
it's
always
been
important
to
step
it
up
for
for
our
community
and
so
covid-19
our
city.
Employees
did
that
and
it
didn't
matter.
If
you
were
a
Rec
leader
didn't
matter.
If
you
were
a
librarian,
it
didn't
matter.
If
you
were
a
public
works,
Specialist
or
an
analyst,
our
city
employees
went
to
vaccination
sites,
food
locations,
schools,
you
name
it.
F
They
stepped
it
up,
and
it's
it's
very
important
that
we
say
thank
you
to
them.
I
I
was
still
working
for
then
council
member
Carrasco,
so
you
know
for
me
being
at
testing
locations
and
vaccine
vaccine
sites
and
giving
giving
away
food.
F
Yes,
it
was
very,
very
scary
because
at
that
time
I
also
lived
in
a
house
full
of
other
people,
Who
had
who
could
stay
home
and
I
couldn't.
But
you
know
just
like
myself
and
just
like
other
city
employees,
we
knew
that
we
had
to
make
sure
that
our
community
was
healthy
and
our
community
was
safe
and
our
city
employees
did
that
for
two
years
now
going
on
three
years.
F
Unfortunately-
and
it's
it's
very
sad-
it's
very
sad
that
we
that
we
did
lose
a
lot
of
our
San
Jose
residents
that
we
did
lose
a
lot
of
our
small
businesses,
particularly
our
our
our
small
businesses,
who
are
immigrant
based
and
so
I.
Just
hope
that
we
don't
have
another
pandemic
or
another
emergency.
F
I
know
that
council
member
Foley
just
mentioned
an
earthquake
I,
don't
like
those
I,
don't
think
any
of
us
do
I,
remember
1989
vividly
so
I
I
just
want
to
give
our
our
city
city
leadership
from
the
from
the
top
all
the
way
down
to
to
the
bottom,
a
a
big
Kudos
and-
and
thank
you
so
much
for
all
your
service.
E
I
have
to
say
my
hands
is
bow
down
to
you,
guys
for
the
extreme
good
work
from
we've
learned
a
lot
from
2017
and
then
the
pandemic
from
the
vaccination
site.
We
we
vaccinated
33,
000
government
employees
right
out
of
the
fairground
and
that's
including
you
know,
hundreds
and
hundreds
of
thousand
citizens.
E
E
So
our
employees
don't
get
burned
out.
They
can
spend
time
with
their
family
and
do
what
they
normally
would
like
to
do,
and
I
know
that
all
of
us
appear
are
committed
to
support
all
of
you
by
finding
different
solution
and
finance
and
resource
and
tools
from
Technologies
to
whatever
it
is
it's
tags
to
to
make
our
city
better
and
I
just
want
to
say.
Thank
you
very
much.
N
You
know
it
is
trauma,
and
so
I
was
just
curious
in
terms
of
is
there?
Is
there
something
available?
Should
people
choose
to
to
you
know
to
use
it
in
terms
of
health
and
wellness.
O
Yes,
there
is
I,
don't
see
Kelly
Parmalee
here,
but
she's
been
instrumental
as
part
of
the
human
resources
team
in
leading
our
efforts
around
this
work
in
a
couple
of
ways,
one
of
thinking
about
trauma-informed
care
and
trauma-informed
services
and
realizing
that
the
community
has
been
traumatized
as
well.
And
so
how
do
we
approach
them
with
respect
and
Grace?
And
how
do
we
approach
ourselves
with
respect
and
Grace,
because
we
may
have
been
in
a
position
a
bit
more
privileged
or
less
privileged,
depending
on
where
we
were,
but
we've
all
gone
through
that
trauma.
O
N
B
B
T
He
thinks
that
he's
gonna
come
in,
throws
money
around
and
think
that
okay,
well,
oh
well,
he's
helping
build
this
Pacific
Motor
in
you
know,
while
he's
decimating
our
city,
do
you
know
what
genocide
is
genocide
with
manners?
Is
a
budget
proposal?
That's
what
it
is.
That's
genocide
with
manners,
because
that's
what
you're
doing
with
our
community
and
very
dealable
thinks
that
he
can
sue
this
conscience
by
aligning
himself
with
the
city
to
produce
the
financing
to
build
this
uh-uh.
T
F
No
just
move
to
support
item
8.1
and
my
memo
and
the
mayor's
memo.
G
Thank
you
mayor,
so
I
want
to
thank
staff
from
the
housing
department
for
working
so
hard
on
a
very
bold
experiment
in
mixed
income.
Housing
development
for
the
city
of
San,
Jose,
I,
truly
believe
this
is
an
amazing
project
and
I
hope.
This
model
proves
successful
to
me
both
meet
our
affordable
and
market
rate,
housing,
construction
goals
and
you
know,
dismantle
the
socioeconomic
segregation
that
has
defined.
So
much
of
you
know
any
City's
history
here
in
the
United
States.
G
One
of
the
reasons
that
cities
like
Vienna
and
Helsinki
are
considered
models
of
urban
planning
is
the
prevalence
of
mixed
income
developments.
When
you
have
sanitation
workers
living
directly
next
to
bank
Executives,
you
start
to
address
much
of
the
many
social
ills
that
plague
us,
as
opposed
to
when
you
concentrate
poverty
in
a
specific
area,
whether
it's
racial
segregation,
poor
educational
outcomes
and
systemic
neglect.
We
could
begin
to
address
these
issues
as
we
make
neighborhoods
more
diverse
economically.
G
Instead,
what
you're
building
right
now
is
a
stronger
Community
with
access
to
high
quality
city
services
for
all,
so
I
just
want
to
say
that
I
support
the
memo
by
the
mayor
and
by
council
member
Torres
and
I
I
believe
we
need
to
enable
staff
to
move
fast
and
make
sure
that
we're
proposing
more
Innovative
projects
like
this
one.
Thank
you.
B
Z
Thank
you,
councilmember
Rachel,
vanderveen
assistant
director
of
the
housing
department,
and
so
as
the
I
think.
What
you're
referring
to
is
one
of
the
recommendations
included
in
the
memo
from
count
from
the
mayor
and
council
member
Taurus
the
support
for
applying
for
funds
to
the
California
debt
limit
allocation
committee,
so
that
will
be
routine
staff
work
that
we
do
forever
for
every
affordable
housing
development
that
comes
through
our
doors
that
we
want
to
move
forward.
So
it
would
not
add
any
additional
demands
on
our
team.
H
I
think
this
project
is
a
good
example
of
the
type
of
projects
communities
will
accept
because,
like
my
colleague
mentioned,
that
mix
use
properties
is
probably
much
more
acceptable
to
the
community
neighborhood,
because
if
we
build
the
affordable
homes
with
30
percent,
affordable
income,
you
get
one
kind
of
people
and
one
kind
of
facilities.
One
kind
of
stuff
neighborhood
may
not
find
it
very
acceptable.
B
Thanks,
council,
member
and
I
very
much
agree
with
the
comments
that
were
made.
I
think
councilmember
Ortiz
really
captured
my
feelings
on
this
I
think
the
the
Innovative
approach
here.
That's
going
to
get
us
real
density
and
truly
a
mixed
income
project
with
a
whole
lot
of
units
in
an
area.
That's
amenity,
Rich
reasonably
well
served
by
transit
is
just
a
really
exciting
possibility.
So
I
appreciate
all
the
extra
work
staff
has
done
to
make
this
possible
and
the
support
I'm
hearing
from
the
council
to
move
forward.
F
No
I
totally
forgot
to
just
think
housing
and
other
stakeholders
who
who
made
this
happen,
because
I
know
that
the
first
score
around
was
not
so
not
so
kind
to
us
and
we
went
back
and
did
it
the
right
way.
So
thank
you.
B
Great
it
passes
unanimously.
Thank
you,
Tony.
We
are
on
to
our
final
agendized
item,
which
is
item
8.2
calendar
year.
2022
San,
Jose
housing
element,
annual
progress
report
and
fiscal
year,
2021
2022
how
housing
successor
to
the
Redevelopment
agency
annual
report
and
we
have
a
short
presentation-
I
see
staffs
on
their
way
down.
Y
Good
evening,
mayor
and
city
council,
my
name
is
Ruth
guetto
and
I'm.
A
supervisor
planner
in
pbce
and
with
me
is
director
Jackie
Morales
Ferran
from
the
housing
department,
Chris
Burton,
our
director
in
pbce,
as
well
as
Michael
Brielle
deputy
director
I,
believe
we
have
Kristen
Clemons
division
manager
in
the
housing
department
on
Zoom.
Y
Y
Once
again,
there
are
new
reporting
requirements,
such
as
a
number
of
sb9
lot
split
applications
received
and
any
new
units
constructed
under
that
new
law.
We
also
have
to
report
on
home
key
project
applications
as
well.
This
year's
report
also
requires
information
on
all
applications
received
in
2022,
not
just
those
that
go
directly
to
the
planning
department,
planning
division,
but
also
Adu
applications
that
are
submitted
directly
to
the
building
division.
Y
Y
Y
Y
This
is
our
cumulative
Arena
performance,
so,
looking
across
the
8.8
year
period,
we
find
that
we
achieved
our
market
rate
production,
as
noted
in
the
115
percent
number
towards
the
right.
The
second
best
performing
would
be
moderate
income
at
42
percent.
However,
none
of
these
moderate
income
units
are
restricted,
affordable
housing.
They
may
have
been
in
the
affordable
rent
region
at
one
time,
but
the
rents
can
escalate
with
the
market
and
I'll
hand
it
over
to
Jackie.
Now.
R
If
you
do
not
count
the
non-restricted
moderate
income
units,
we
only
met
20
percent
of
the
goal
for
Eli
vli
and
Li
units
together
and
those
are
the
units
that
we
would
be
typically
subsidizing
through
the
housing
department.
This
to
me
speaks
to
the
urgent
need
for
our
support
for
affordable
housing
production
in
San
Jose.
R
R
Okay,
good
and
looking
at
our
current
data,
we
can
see
that
San
Jose's
rental
market
continues
to
strengthen
overall
with
rents,
five
percent
higher
this
time
over
last
year.
What's
interesting
to
note
is
that
class
A
rents
for
the
most
expensive
Apartments
continue
to
have
higher
vacancy
rates
than
the
rest
of
the
market,
but
are
continuing
to
recover
from
highs
during
the
pandemic.
R
R
R
R
Okay
and
in
terms
of
our
last
updates,
staffed
continue
to
oversee
the
operation
of
the
city's
first
home
key
site
from
the
first
round
of
State
funding.
Using
this
to
shelter
our
most
vulnerable
residents
from
covet
19.
staff
has
been
working
towards
closing
Acquisitions
on
the
two
home
key
sites
that
have
already
been
awarded
State
funding
of
one.
R
The
last
part,
the
last
report-
that's
included
in
this-
is
our
report
on
the
housing
successor
agency
and
the
we
are
required
to
file
this
every
year
as
an
annual
report,
and
it
is
about
the
work
of
the
former
Redevelopment
Agency
for
20
21-22.
The
report
indicates
that
the
city
has
land
loans
and
cash
from
former
Redevelopment
funds,
totaling
716
million
dollars.
The
city
is
in
compliance
with
all
of
our
requirements
and
met.
All
of
the
four
required
tests,
foreign.
T
AA
AA
The
next
time
they
say,
they're
going
to
build,
affordable
housing
at
a
hundred
percent
of
the
Ami,
which
is
now
a
hundred
and
seventeen
thousand
dollars
in
our
County
ask
them
to
go
lower
to
build
deeper,
affordable
housing
for
our
neediest
neighbors.
You
can
solve
this
problem
in
the
eight
years
ahead.
S
That
we're
liking
middle
housing
ideas
a
lot
it's
important.
We
learn
how
to
talk
about
how
to
couple
build
housing
ideas
with
extremely
low
and
very
low
income.
Can
you
bring
those
two
concepts
together
that
sort
of
innovative
future
and
how
we
talk
about
the
future
of
Concepts
like
market
rate
housing.
S
W
AB
Thank
you.
This
is
Jill
borders.
District
10
resident
I
just
wanted
to
comment
on
the
fact
that
in
the
housing
element,
I've
never
read
anything
about
how
the
state
has
asked
any
City
to
discuss
plans
for
ownership,
housing
ownership.
So
it's
always
about
affordable
housing,
market
rate
renting
you
know
it's
one
of
the
other
and
so
basically
we're
we're
a
city.
We're
going
to
be
a
city
of
renters
and
sort
of
just
this
on
on
either
ends
of
the
spectrum,
and
that's
why
mobile
home
communities
to
me
have
been
so
powerful
and
so
impactful.
AB
Personally,
it's
had
a
psychological
effect
on
me
to
own
this
place
to
be
responsible
for
the
next
fifteen
thousand
dollars.
It's
costing
us
to,
you
know,
fix
the
side
of
the
house,
the
electrical
panel
on
the
roof
and
so
forth,
and
along
with
that,
The
Pride
that
comes
with
that
and
I
just
really
want
to
see
ownership
being
discussed
more
as
we
go
forward
back.
B
Great,
thank
you
just
want
to
offer
a
couple
of
thoughts
and
then
I'll
turn
to
my
colleagues.
One
thing:
I
just
and
I
appreciate
the
the
report.
One
of
the
things
I
do
I've
mentioned
before,
but
I
just
want
to
caution
us
on.
B
Is
this
notion
that
we
exceeded
our
market
rate
goal
and-
and
it
is
strictly
true,
but
you
know
I
think
I
think
that
the
framing
of
it
as
well,
we
sort
of
checked
that
box
is,
is
not
necessarily
productive
in
the
sense
that
it
is
the
market
and
the
willingness
to
invest
and
build
this
housing.
That's
going
to
get
us
that
historically
has
gotten
us
the
most
volume
and,
to
the
extent
that
we
can
over
build
and
have
more
capacity
provided
by
the
market.
B
Whatever
the
state's
top
down
Target
is
on
some
seven
year
centrally
planned
Target,
which
is
which
is
great
and
all
you
know
if
we
can
attract
investment
and
build
dents.
If
we
could
have
50
000
more
people
living
in
high
rises
in
downtown,
because
the
market
demand
was
there
and
the
financing
was
there
and
it
all
lined
up.
That
would
be
a
great
thing
and
we
would
have
a
much
better
balance
of
supply
and
demand
and
would
be
hundreds
and
hundreds
of
percent
a
thousand
percent
over
our
Target.
But
that
would
be
a
great
thing.
B
So
you
know,
and
I
also
just
want
to
note
I
mean
I,
think
there's
some
real
benefits
of
encouraging
that
market
rate
housing
that
we
just
shouldn't
forget
and
I'll.
Just
note
a
couple.
I
know
there
are
many
others,
but
one
is.
It
does
directly
reduce
displacement
and
there's
a
lot
of
misinformation
out
there
about
this.
But
having
more
units
ensures
that
higher
income
earning
residents
are
spending
less
time
and
money
bidding
up
the
price
of
more
naturally
affordable
housing
stock.
B
We
met
26
percent
of
our
goal,
which
is
pretty
bad.
It's
pretty
bad
all
Bay
Area
jurisdictions
together,
20
percent.
So
we
were.
We
were
the
leader
in
many
one
of
the
leaders
in
the
entire
region
Statewide.
What
was
the
Statewide
many
other
areas
with
lower
land
costs,
lower
cost
of
development,
Statewide,
affordable
housing
production
was
21
of
goal,
so,
while
I
think
we
need
to
do
better
in
San,
Jose
I
also
think
the
fact
that
Statewide
we're
at
21
percent
of
the
goal
Bay
Area
Wide.
B
I
just
want
to
make
and
I'll
just
bring
this
down
to
a
question
and
then
and
then
open
it
up
is
in
this
fifth
renal
cycle.
Our
total
goal
was
34
721
homes,
which
averaged
needing
to
produce
3986
units
a
year
we
issued
permits
that
got
us
to
2700
So
about
two-thirds
a
little
more
than
two-thirds
of
what
we
needed,
but
a
thousand
units
per
year,
less
than
what
we
needed.
B
So
I
don't
know
if
staff,
if,
if
you
maybe
a
little
beyond
the
scope
of
this
item,
if
you
want
to
comment
at
all
on
what
we
have
learned
from
this
cycle
and
how
we
are
applying
that
I
know,
you
had
a
slide
in
there
highlighting
a
few
kind
of
marginal
changes
we've
made.
But
how
do
we
hope
to
go
from?
What's
been
a
slow
decline
to
a
couple
thousand
permits
a
year
to
needing
to
get
back
to
about
8
000
units
a
year?
That
is
a
4X
change
in
a
cycle?
B
AC
Let
me
start
with
that
mayor
and
I'll
hand
it
over
to
Michael
so
Chris
Burton,
director
of
planning,
building
code
enforcement
and
certainly
that's
a
fair
question
when
we
look
historically
certainly
over
the
last
20
years
on
housing
production,
it's
not
even
getting
back
to
right,
I,
think
I'll
peak
in
2013
or
2014
was
yeah
between
sort
of
four
and
five
thousand
units
a
year.
So
I
mean
it
is
an
incredibly
logical.
AC
The
other
thing,
I
would
add
just
for
context
is
I
think
over
the
last
four
years,
we've
seen
certainly
some
of
the
most
aggressive
legislation
out
of
the
state
around
housing
production
and
that
that's
made
significant
changes
to
the
way
that
we
do
business
and
interact
with
that
and
yet
still
we're
looking
at
1700
units
produced
over
the
last
year.
AC
So
you
know
we
have
to
acknowledge
that
fundamentally,
the
biggest
challenge
around
development
right
now
is
the
economics
and
the
share
cost
per
unit
of
both
market
rate
and
affordable
units
is
working
against
us,
as
we
continue
to
sort
of
make
that
transition
city-wide
around
the
kind
of
density
in
a
different
type
of
product.
So
you
know
we.
AC
We
definitely
acknowledge
that
as
we
look
at
the
new
housing
element
that
we're
working
on
and
we'll
be
happily
bringing
back
in
June,
you
know
we're
looking
to
learn
from
both
this
housing
element
and
some
of
those
bigger
changes
to
see
what
we
can
apply
locally
and
then
I
would
just
continue
to
point
to
some
of
the
bigger
work
that
we're
doing
as
a
CSA
around
understanding
the
costs
of
development
and
how
we
impact
them
at
different
levels
and
then
sort
of
how
we
think
about
our
total
structure
of
cost
within
the
city
as
well,
because
you
know
these
are
all
the
pieces
that
are
going
to
need
to
change
for
us.
M
B
K
So
I
think
one
thing
we
have
to
think
about
is
you
know.
A
lot
of
our
housing
units
are
really
focused
on
on
the
higher
density,
which
we
do
still
need
to
do.
But
there
is
a
question
about:
are
there
opportunities
for
that
missing?
Middle
housing
type,
which
is
a
smaller
puts?
You
know,
development
in
the
hands
of
smaller
scale
Builders.
K
Some
of
the
studies
we've
done
recently,
although
we
have
to
would
have
to
revalidate
them
under
the
current
market
conditions,
is
that
there
are
places
in
San
Jose
where
those
type
of
products
would
be
feasible
and
come
in
at
a
less
expensive
I,
don't
want
to
say,
affordable,
but
less
expensive,
rent
and
for
sale
price.
So
I
think
we
had
to
start
looking
at
other
tools
in
the
in
the
toolbox
that
we
haven't
been
using
and
other
product
types
and
see
where
they
might
fit
in
San
Jose.
B
Yeah
appreciate
that
addition,
and
what
have
some
concerns,
I
I,
would
say
that
what
we've
seen
with
adus
validates
your
point
there.
Okay,
let's
continue
with
discussion
for
the
first
time
after
I
spoke
hands,
went
down
all
right,
councilmember
batra,.
H
K
K
You
know
four
five,
six
seven
stories
and
those
units
are
those
are
above
moderate
income,
those
are
market
rate
units
and
for
a
period
of
time
we
were
very
successful
in
building
those
because,
as
Chris
alluded
to,
the
marketing
economics
were
different
up
until
about
three
or
three
years
ago
or
so,
and
those
type
of
products
would
actually
pencil.
K
We
still
are
having
some
projects
built,
we're
still
getting
a
lot
of
entitlements,
because
I
think
there's
a
lot
of
optimism
that
the
market
conditions
will
will
return
in
the
near
future
and
the,
and
that
projects
will
be
able
to
get
financing
and
be
positive
and
move
forward.
K
But
it's
really
that
we
provided
the
the
policy
and
the
ordinance
framework
within
the
city
to
allow
that
type
of
housing
happen
and
what
we
found
over
the
last
three
years
or
so
is
that
we're
really
challenged
with
forces
that
are
many
ways
out
of
our
control,
which
is
the
cost
of
of
materials.
The
cost
of
Labor,
the
overall
cost
of
construction
as
well,
is
more
recently,
interest
rates
have
been
going
up
significantly,
which
impacts
the
financing
of
projects.
R
So
one
example
is,
you
know
we
created
the
opportunity,
even
even
to
the
extent
where
we
created
an
ordinance
to
allow
for
a
very
specific
type
of
market
rate
housing
that
was
supposed
to
be
shared
housing
that
actually
did
not
go
forward,
so
it
ended
up
that
whole
need
or
demand
for
that
product
type
collapsed
before
one
building
was
developed
in
San
Jose,
so
there
were
Lessons
Learned
both
in
success
and
Lessons.
Learned
I
think
in
perhaps
responding
to
something
that
truly
didn't
have
a
market
or
a
market
has
collapsed.
Since
that.
H
Like
the
mayor
said
that
we
should
encourage
actively
encourage,
as
many
market
rate
units
can
come
on
the
market,
because
if
we
don't,
even
though
we
exceeded
our
rate
115
percent,
but
our
demand
is
still
higher.
Okay
and
if
the
demand
is
higher,
the
market
rate
rent
will
increase
and
if
the
market
rate
rent
increases,
we're
going
to
have
more
people
going
to
have
to
be
put
into
the
affordable
category,
because
the
market
rate
rent
has
gone
beyond
what
their
income
can
support.
Now,
okay,
so
so
we
will
be
just
like.
H
We've
been
talking
about
homelessness
situation.
If
we
don't
build
enough
of
those
market
rate,
rents
units
we'll
be
pushing
people
into
that
affordable
category
from
being
in
the
market
rate
rent
category,
so
so
I
think
we
shouldn't
take
our
eye
off
that
that
we
should
encourage
as
much
as
development
of
the
market
rate.
Rent
units
come
so
that
the
market
rates
rent
don't
increase
too
much
beyond
our
control.
Okay,.
R
V
R
Though
we
continue
to
build
market
rate
housing
where
that
will
impact
the
market
is
on
that
moderate
side,
where
we
still
have
definitely
a
group
of
people
who
are
having
housing
challenges.
So
when
more
people
who
have
wealthier
incomes
move
into
that
new
housing,
they're
going
to
open
up
housing
stock
for
modern
income,
people
they're
not
going
to
be
opening
up
housing
stock
for.
H
Low-Income
or
very
low
income,
no
no
I
I
think
my
point
got
missed.
I
was
saying
the
other
way
around
that.
If
you
don't
build
enough
market
rate
rents,
the
rents
will
go
up
and,
as
a
result,
somebody
who
was
today
based
on
their
income
was
able
to
rent
a
place
on
a
market
rate
rent.
They
would
need
to
look
for
an
affordable
rent
because
the
now
the
slab
would
have
moved
up.
So
my
point
was
the
opposite
of
what
it
came
across.
H
Okay,
so
I'm
saying
that
please
do
go
ahead
and
continue
to
build
as
many
market
rate
rents
unit
are
available
to
build,
do
not
discourage
that
don't
get
in
the
way
of
getting
those
built
now.
So
if
that
point
is
clear,
then
I
can
move
on
to
my
second
Point.
Okay,
all
right.
So
the
second
point
is
I.
Think
whatever
the
number
of
units
the
state
assigns
to
some
extent
it's
immaterial.
H
We
in
San
Jose
know
that
the
number
of
units
in
the
affordable
category
we
need
is
a
lot
more
than
what
we
have
if
we
met
26
and
we
are
better
than
20
percent
by
anybody
else.
All
it
tells
is
that
we
are
still
74
short
of
what
we
probably
need,
or
maybe
even
need
more
than
that,
because
that's
a
number
assigned
by
the
state,
which
is
a
fictitious
number
in
a
way
it's
not
based
on
the
exact
need
we
have.
H
Our
need,
is
a
lot
higher,
so
we
are
74
below
of
that
actual
need
might
be
even
80,
90
more
than
that,
so
I
think
we
need
to
have
some
more
Innovative
plan,
because
at
the
moment,
whatever
we
are
doing
is
all
good,
but
it's
not
sufficient.
It's
not
going
to
get
there.
We
heard
it
in
many
different
ways
from
the
public
from
the
mayor
from
me
from
everybody
else.
We
meet
on
the
street
okay,.
R
Absolutely
right
that
and
just
to
clarify
how
they
come
up
with
the
number.
The
number
is
based
on
a
projection
on
the
need
for
future:
affordable
housing.
What
it
absolutely
does
not
capture.
So
in
this
cycle
we
missed
75
percent
of
the
units,
so
it
doesn't
go
forward
and
say:
okay,
San
Jose.
You
need
X,
plus
the
75
percent
that
you
missed.
It's
just
you
missed
that
and
they're
moving
on
yeah,
so
it
is.
Definitely
a
number
that
is
under
represented
under
represents
the
exact
number
of
units
that
we
need.
H
Yeah,
so,
and-
and-
and
you
know
it
better
than
anybody
else
who
lives
this
reality
every
day
that
unless
something
changes
at
probably
City
level
county
level
state
level,
we
are
not
going
to
get
there
because
there
are
the
the
path
is
full
of
obstacles.
If
you
want
to
call
it
and
as
a
result,
we
will
not
get
there.
So
we
like
to
see
in
next
report.
H
What
are
you
doing
differently,
or
what
do
you
want
in
this
Council
or
mayor
to
go
and
preach
at
the
state
level
or
our
congressmen
who
are
coming
and
saying
hey?
We
want
to
help
you
guys,
let's
take
something
concrete
to
them
to
say,
help
us
with
that
I
I
know
you
guys
have
tried
those
but
I'm
going
to
just
going
to
make
the
fleet.
Then
let's
come
with
that,
so
that
we
can
try
it
again
and
see
if
we
can
remove
at
least
one
obstacle
out
of
your
way
in
getting
the
thing
done.
B
Thanks
councilmember
I
did
just
want
to
note
Jackie
on
the
Turner
Center
report
completely
agree
that
new
market
rate
housing
is
not
going
to
do
anything
for
folks
who
or
will
do
very
little
for
folks
who
need
that
that
extremely
low
income,
how
affordable
housing,
however,
in
the
long
run,
I
do
think.
B
Supply
plays
a
critical
role
in
that
so
much
of
our
affordable
housing
today
was
built
by
a
private
developer,
30
40
50
60
years
ago,
and
so
in
the
long
run,
Supply
can
age
into
greater
levels
of
affordability,
because
the
cost
base
is
so
much
low
when
you
project
out
decades
later
so.
I
just
want
to
clarify
that
I
think
you're
right
in
the
short
run
about.
E
Thank
you.
Thank
you,
staff
for
your
hard
work
and
I
I
agree
with
both
the
mayor
and
and
or
council
member
Arjun
abatra.
We
have
supply
and
demand,
and
and
and
when
there's
less
Supply,
there's
not
enough
competition.
So
when
there's
not
enough
competition,
then
the
rate
continue
to
go
up,
and
if
that
was
the
case,
a
lot
of
renters
become
unable
to
get
to
pay.
K
Yeah
I
mean
I
think
as
I
we
mentioned
before
a
lot
of
the
costs
of
the
type
of
housing
that
we're
planning
in
San.
Jose
is
very,
very
expensive
and,
frankly,
there's
not
much
that
we
as
a
city
government,
can
do
to
lower
those
costs.
We
can
always
talk
about
how
we
can
better
to
do
the
stream,
how
we
can
do
better
to
streamline
the
process
and
those
are
things
we're
thinking
about
which
will
be
in
our
next
draft
housing
element
that
you
will
see
but
again,
I
think
it's
also.
K
You
know,
thinking
about
other
types
of
market
rate
housing
that
we're
not
building
that.
Maybe
there
may
be
places
for
it
in
the
city
that
it
could
move
forward
that
might
be
at
a
lower
price
point
and
and
and
and
would
be
feasible
in
times
such
as
now,
where
the
higher
density
stuff
is
is
not
because
of
the
cost
of
construction,
and
that's
that's
something
that
is
addressed
in
our
housing
element,
which
we
will
bring
be
bringing
to
you
in
June.
Okay,.
E
E
More
housing
mean
more
money
is
needed,
want
those
funds
runs
out
for
construction
of
properties,
the
rent,
how
to
continue
to
be
subsidized.
So
what
pers?
It's
just
that
we're
we're
going
this
vicious
circle,
and
so,
when
all
the
affordable,
affordable
housing
is
gone
and
we
subsidize
all
these
renter
and
it
is
a
larger
amount
than
the
market
rate.
R
So
all
housing
in
the
United
States
are
90
percent
of
housing
in
the
United.
States
is
subsidized.
So
on
the
homeownership
side,
I'm
sure
many
of
you
take
a
tax
deduction
of
your
mortgage
interest
rate,
and
that
is
a
cost,
that's
borne
by
everyone,
as
in
rental
housing.
That
is
a
cost
that
is
born
on
the
public,
but
it
uses
a
different
tax
mechanism
in
which
to
raise
those
costs
or
fees
in
order
to
support
affordable
housing.
R
So
there
are
multiple
ways
to
produce:
affordable
housing
and
whether
it's
through
taxes
or
in
you
know
our
measure
e,
where
we
have
a
transfer
tax,
there
are
federal
housing
vouchers.
All
of
these
programs
are
supported
in
different
ways
and
use
different
mechanisms
in
order
to
raise
money
for
affordable
housing.
R
R
R
E
So
it
sounded
like
maybe
we
all
should
just
sell
homes
and
be
subsidized
I
guess
in
an
apartment,
complex
I.
Don't
think
that
would
be
a
great
answer,
but
anyway,
you
know.
Last
week
the
the
council,
we're
told
that
measure
a
fund
were
depleted
and,
and
the
city
have
to
you
know,
give
an
additional
12.25
million
dollars
to
construct
units
at
797
Almaden
in
this
memo.
E
R
So
the
county
makes
their
decisions
funding
decisions
on
how
much
they
are
able
to
support
in
each
affordable
housing
development
and
they
have
an
affordable
housing
plan,
and
that
was
the
limit
to
how
much
they
were
willing
to
support
for
that
previous
development.
They
have
funds
available
and
those
funds
are
being
directed
outside
of
the
city
of
San
Jose
because
they
have
met
their
affordable
housing
goal
of
the
number
of
units
that
they
had
planned
to
build
in
the
city
of
San
Jose,
and
so,
as
a
region
we
want.
E
R
E
R
Again,
I,
don't
the
city
doesn't
have
control
over
the
counties
measure
a
funding.
The
county
makes
its
decisions
and
how
it
wants
to
fund.
We
believed
that
it
potentially
could
have
funded
more,
but
because
they
have
used
the
overwhelming
majority
of
their
funding
in
San
Jose.
The
county
made
a
decision
to
limit
the
funding
and
has
very
little
funding
available
for
projects
in
San
Jose
because
they
have
a
goal
to
provide
affordable
housing
county-wide.
So.
R
We
always
work
very
cooperatively
with
County
is
one
of
our
strongest
Partnerships
is
within
the
housing
department
between
the
housing
and
the
office
of
Supportive
Housing.
And
yes,
we
continually
work
with
them
to
ensure
that
they're
investing
as
much
as
possible,
and
it's
also
very
important
to
note
they
pay
for
a
hundred
percent
of
the
ongoing
Services
needs
of
that
particular
development,
so
they're
paying
for
ten
to
twelve
thousand
dollars
per
unit.
In
addition
to
the
construction
costs
for
the
services
that
are
provided
on
site
when
we
do
permanent
Supportive
Housing.
F
Great
thank
you
good
evening.
Thank
you
all
for
for
this
presentation,
it's
very
very
concerning
especially
when
we
are
not
building
enough
affordable
housing
for
the
crisis
that
we
are
in
I
just
have
a
few
questions,
and
now
I'll
try
to
make
them
quickly
and
brief
as
possible,
so
one
of
them
is
Will
revisiting.
Our
commercial
Lincoln
linkage
fee
help
us
with
Arena
goals.
R
R
R
Know
clearly,
one
of
the
things
that
we
will
continue
to
need
is
funding
in
order
to
help
support
the
Gap
that
all
of
affordable
housing
needs
and
whatever
funding
source
you
would
choose
to
increase
in
order
to
fund
the
Gap
would
be
helpful.
But
there
are
always
limitations
to
all
these
programs,
and
we
certainly
did
look
very
closely
on
the
commercial
linkage
fee,
and
you
know
that
has
its
own
limitations.
AC
You
know
we
use
a
variety
of
tools
to
support,
affordable
housing
and
we're
looking
at
you
know
all
of
those
models
to
ensure
that
we
have
the
most
funds
available.
The
challenge
I
think
we
see
currently
with
sort
of
you
know
significantly
revisiting
the
commercial
linkage
fee
is
our
commercial
and
office
development
is
stagnant,
right,
there's,
really
not
a
significant
market
for
it.
AC
It's
under
a
significant
amount
of
pressure
already
and
so
I
think
that's
one
of
those
considerations
that,
as
we
look
at
that,
we'll
have
to
really
think
about.
You
know
the
balance,
because,
even
with
the
the
current
fee,
you
know
if
we
concede
and
sort
of
see
the
opportunity
for
more
commercial
development
that
will
generate
revenues.
AC
If
we
tend
to
push
the
economics
on
those
developments,
then
we'll
potentially
see
less
money
over
time,
so
it
you
know
very
much
sort
of
understand
the
need
to
appreciate
all
the
tools
that
are
in
the
the
toolbox,
but
that
there's
a
fine
balance
in
kind
of
how
we
proceed
on
that
one
great.
F
R
Well,
unfortunately,
down
in
downtown
for
the
high
rise
development,
we
actually
haven't
seen
high-rise
break
ground
since
those
original
Towers
go
forward.
So
you
know
in
the
downtown
we
need
for
the
downtown
to
be
successful.
We
need
housing.
We
need
more
residential
development
and
I.
Think
the
overarching
goal
in
downtown
is
to
get
as
many
people
back
into
it
and
to
activate
it
so
that
it
can
be
thriving.
R
So
you
have
to
balance
that
policy
decision
of
how
do
we
get
something
that
will
bring
more
residents
to
the
downtown
that
we
desperately
need
with
our
affordable
housing
goals,
and
our
exemption
at
this
point
was
an
attempt
to
at
least
get
anything
back.
Moving
on
the
market
rate
side.
To
the
extent
we
were
to
see
market
rate
high-rise,
Development
begin
to
Boom,
then
I
think
that
would
be
the
appropriate
time
for
us
to
say.
AC
R
F
And
second
to
last
question:
I
I
promise,
so
interim
housing
does
that
count
towards
our
Arena
goals,
tiny
homes.
B
F
Thank
you
and
then
lastly,
because
I
know
this
is
a
very
complicated
issue
and
of
concern
and
it's
a
crisis
in
our
next
housing
element,
which
is
obviously
coming
up.
What
can
we
do
better
to
meet
our
housing
goals,
and
can
you
speak
to
Statewide
efforts
to
hold
cities,
accountability
and
Meeting
those
goals
I
think
the
mayor
just
mentioned
one,
but
what
are
others.
R
Well,
I
would
say
one
of
the
things
the
state
has
done
to
help
us
is
with
the
streamlining
and
I
know
that
sometimes
for
council
members
that
can
be
challenging
because
it
doesn't
require
all
that
public
process
that
we
would
typically
go
through.
But
the
streamlining
has
reduced
the
time
that
develop,
affordable
housing
developments
have
spent
in
getting
to
the
over
the
goal
line
of
actually
beginning
to
build
in
housing.
So
that
has
been
one
tool
that
has
been
very
effective
in
producing
affordable
housing,
faster.
K
C
Thanks
Dad
for
the
presentation,
I
hope
you're
ready
for
another
mortgage
interest,
deduction:
question
Jackie
I'm
full
of
those
now
I
I.
But
what
could
we
attribute
our
lack
of
meeting
our
affordable
housing
Target
you,
the
biggest
attribution.
R
I'd
say
the
lack
of
well
not
having
enough
funding
is
one
of
the
challenges
of
meeting
our
affordable
housing,
whether
it's
the
local
Gap.
At
some
point,
if
we
were
to
have
a
tremendous
amount
of
local
Gap,
there
also
would
be
a
stall
with
the
amount
of
tax
credits
that
are
available.
R
That
kind
of
also
find
how
much
affordable
housing
can
get
through
the
process
at
any
given
time-
and
you
know
right
now,
the
advantage
that
affordable
housing
has
over
market
rate
is
that
affordable
housing
can
go
forward
because
market
rate
housing
right
now
is
stalled
in
San
Jose
because
they
cannot
generate
the
rents
needed
in
order
to
build
the
product.
So
this
creates
a
huge
opportunity
for
affordable
housing
now
to
acquire
sites
that
market
rate
developers
may
be
willing
to
let
go
of
because
they
can't
go
forward.
Typically,
we
haven't
had
the
funding.
R
It's
been
kind
of
reversed
when
we're
in
these
cycles
of
when
Market
can't
go
forward,
then
we
don't
have
enough
money
to
kind
of
grab
what's
available
and
so
that's
kind
of
the
delicate
balance
of
of
the
of
our
world
in
affordable
housing.
Okay,
thank.
AC
You
council,
member
I,
just
add
to
that.
You
know
as
we
look
forward
to
the
new
housing
element,
we're
exploring
new
land
use
Solutions
as
well.
That
kind
of
account
for
that.
So,
particularly
as
we
look
at
North
San
Jose
and
the
redistribution
of
residential
capacity
in
that
area,
we're
looking
at
affordable,
only
housing,
overlays
right
that
again
helps
shift
that
market
Dynamic
for
land,
that's
available
purely
for
affordable,
housings
they're
not
competing
with
you
know,
market
rate
development
that
can
usually
come
in
at
a
higher
price
on
that
land.
C
Thank
you,
Chris
I
I,
appreciate
that
follow-up,
and
you
know
to
a
couple
points:
I
think
26
percent
it
you
know
of
the
Target
that
we're
hitting
for
affordable,
it's
abysmal
and
that's
I.
Don't
think
that's
anybody
on
this
on
this
dice
would
would
say
you
know
we
should
be
proud
of
that,
comparing
ourselves
to
other
Bay
Area
neighbors,
who
you
know
have
historically
a
a
you
know.
C
A
bad
rap
for
for
putting
up
barriers
to
to
this
type
of
development
is
is
not
something
we
should
aspire
to
in
regards
to
naturally
occurring
affordable
housing.
C
There's
obviously,
there's
issues
with
waiting
for
market
rate
housing,
30,
40
50
years
to
eventually
become
affordable
because
of
soft
story
issues
that
that
we
have
to
deal
with
now
that
become
seismically,
unsafe
and
historically
disenfranchised
communities
are
predominantly
the
ones
who
are
living
in
these
affordable,
naturally,
affordable
housing
units
now
so
as
as
just
one
one
of
the
points
I
want
to
make
and
I
think
we
should
do
what
we
can
and
not
forego
our
responsibility
as
city
leaders
to
strive
to
meet
our
Arena
targets,
not
just
in
this
cycle
but
in
future
cycle.
B
Council
I,
don't
think
we
disagree,
but
if
we're
beating
the
state,
the
Statewide
average
by
nearly
30
percent
I,
think
it's
pretty
clear
that
there's
a
structural
issues
Statewide
with
the
way
we're
setting
up
these
Arena
goals
and
there's
there's
much
broader
structural
issues
at
play.
If
we're
performing
abysmally,
as
you
say,
which
I
agree
with
and
yet
leading
the
pack,
so
it's
not
comparing
us
to
Los
Altos.
It's
comparing
us
to
all
the
other
big
cities
in
the
state
Okay.
So
we
are
almost
there
vice
mayor,
kame,.
N
Thank
you.
Thank
you
for
the
progress
report.
I
I
was
just
wondering
you
know.
At
the
end
of
the
day,
we
know
that
it's
all
about
money,
it's
just
so
expensive
to
build
and
I,
was
just
curious
as
to
whether
as
to
whether
or
not
there
has
been
any
attempt
to
at
least
go
out
and
and
purchase
the
land-
and
you
know
have
a
partner,
affordable,
housing
developer
come
in
afterwards,
because
I
mean
you
Jackie,
you
mentioned.
N
There
are
some
opportunities
now,
but
I
was
just
thinking
that
having
control
of
one
of
the
factors
which
is
you
know,
the
high
price
of
what
it
costs
for
the
dirt
is,
is
one
of
the
variables
that
you
know
I
mean
the
price
keeps
going
higher
and
higher
and
higher.
Just
when
you
think,
oh
my
gosh,
you
know
it's
going
to
level
off
or
it's
coming
down
or
you
know
people
are
not
building.
N
So
it's
going
to
come
down
it
doesn't
you
know
so
I
mean
it's
just
expensive
right
and
it
only
gets
more
expensive.
So
by
you
know
doing
something
like
purchasing
the
land.
You
at
least
have
some
control
over
what
happens
there.
So
I
was
just
wondering.
I
mean
I,
know
that
there
are
a
lot
of
tools
to
support,
affordable
housing
and
I.
Think
that
that
everyone
has
tried
every
which
way
and
I'm
just
curious
and
has
tried
every
which
way
and
I'm
just
curious
as
to
you
know
whether
or
not
you've
ever
gone.
R
So
in
affordable
housing
we
typically
think
of
that
strategy
as
land
banking,
where
we
would
might
go
out
aggressively
and
just
purchase
land,
and
sometimes
that
is
a
needed
strategy
and
I
would
say
in
this
time
right
now.
It
is
probably
not
needed,
because
we
have
so
many
active,
affordable
housing
developers
in
this
area
that
are
looking
for
land
and
looking
for
sites
that
they
can
do
it
much
faster
than
we
can
and
that
if
we
purchase
it,
it
doesn't
make
it
faster
because
we
have
to
go
through
environmental
reviews.
R
I
have
to
come
to
council.
Put
it
on
an
agenda,
get
your
permission.
I
have
to
talk
to
you.
You
want
me
to
do
community
process.
It
is
going
to
be
more
expensive
more
time
consuming.
If
you
have
me,
do
it
and
then
once
I
do
it
I
gotta
create
an
RFP,
I
gotta
hire
Consultants
to
do
this
and
that
and
then
I
gotta
release
it
and
then
I
gotta,
review,
The,
People's
responses
and.
N
Then
okay,
never
mind
I,
you
know
I
I,
I,
I,
don't
know
these
things
right,
but
but
I
I
think
I,
guess
what
I?
N
What
I
was
thinking
about
is
you
know,
sort
of
like
looking
at
alternative
ways
of
getting
to
the
place
where
we
want
to
get
to
because
I
do
know,
I
I'm,
not
sure
how
we
get
around
controlling
some
of
the
factors
that
make
it
exorbitantly
expensive
I
mean
it
just
is
I
mean
even
if
we
cut
the
fees
and
we
make
it
easy
and
all
of
that
that's
just
like
one
part
of
it
there's
so
many
other
parts
of
it
that
you
know,
because
you
start
the
materials
of
the
this
and
that
and
who,
who
else
has
to
like
cobble
up
the
the
the
the
the
the
the
the
funding
to
be
able
to
make
it
happen.
N
So
I
just
I,
just
think
that
as
we
move
forward
and
we're
looking
at
all
these
different
things,
you
get
to
a
point
where
we've
done
everything
I
mean.
Even
if
we
were
to
say:
okay,
we're
not
going
to
charge,
everything
is
going
to
be.
You
know
like
we're
not
going
to
charge
for
anything,
it's
still
going
to
cost
a
lot
right.
So
even
if
we
do
our
part,
how
do
we
get
other
factors
to
to
move?
Because,
if
not
we're
still
going
to
be
at
the
26
percent.
R
And
what
I
want
to
remind
you
is
that
was
it
last
week
or
the
week
before,
you
gave
us
direction
to
come
back
and
look
at
the
cost
of
affordable
housing
and
really
think
through,
like
where
are
all
the
levers
that
we
can
impress
upon
and
try
to
drive
the
costs
down
and
if
it's
not
us,
driving
the
cost
down.
You
also
asked
us.
R
B
Second,
thank
you
second,
but
counselor.
Torres
okay
looks
like
we're
going
around
for
another
round.
I'd
encourage
my
colleagues
to
keep
it
quick.
It's
almost
nine
o'clock,
we've
had
quite
a
bit
of
discussion
on
this
and,
as
Jackie
just
pointed
out,
we
did
just
give
direction
to
come
back
with
research
on
this.
Thank
you
for
that
reminder.
Jackie
councilmer,
batra.
H
One
comment
which
was
just
made
before
the
housing
director
taught
that
we
can't
do
anything
about
the
cause
being
whatever
it
is,
several
published
studies
and
anecdotally
talking
to
some
other
Developers.
They
say
our
planning
and
our
permitting
and
then
inspections
add
at
least
20
percent
to
the
cost.
Okay,
now
that,
if
you
are
able
to
expedite
improve,
certainly
should
add
whether
it's
2019
or
16
I,
don't
know
the
number.
H
But
those
are
the
numbers
which
I've
seen
in
the
published
report
and
some
of
the
people
who
have
approached
us
here
about
the
San
Jose
and
they
say
San
Jose
is
probably
about
the
the
most
difficult
to
deal
with.
I
was
going
to
use
a
different
word,
but
I
withdraw
it
okay,
most
difficult
to
deal
with
in
terms
of
the
planning
permitting
and
inspections.
You
don't
get
an
inspection
for
two
months
on
a
certain
thing:
you're
adding
to
the
cost
slowing
down
on
the
activities.
So
please
look
into
it.
H
I,
don't
want
to
get
into
any
specifics
here,
because
I
don't
have
any
particular
project
I'm
talking
about
so
I
just
want
to
leave
generically
with
that
that
please
look
into
in
your
process
improvements
or
whatever
you're
doing
general
feeling
is
that
we
are
adding
to
the
cost
because
of
the
way,
maybe
your
short
staff,
don't
know
all
the
explanations,
okay,
so
take
them
for
whatever
it
is
worth
that
we
need
to
find
a
way
to
do
that.
One.
H
The
other
comment
which
was
made
about
the
affordable
homes
are
going,
but
market
rate
houses
are
not
getting
developed
because
of
the
cost
of
the
economics.
If
that
is
not
happening,
the
affordable
homes
are
not
getting
or
the
market
rate
rents
are
not
getting
built
soon.
We're
going
to
have
even
a
bigger
crunch
on
that
one.
That
means
the
rents
will
increase
and
hence
more
people
will
need
affordable,
rent
rather
than
the
market
rate,
because
they
wouldn't
be
able
to
afford
it
anymore.
So
so,
let's
do
whatever.
H
B
Great
thank
you.
I
want
to
thank
staff
again
for
the
report.
Thank
my
colleagues
for
the
Lively
discussion.
I
know
a
lot
of
tough
questions
were
asked,
but
I
think
it's
really
just
a
reflection
of
the
urgency
with
which
we
all
feel
the
need
to
build
housing,
which
is
really
the
the
most
fundamental
challenge
we
face
regionally.
B
You
know.
I
also
want
to
thank
my
colleagues
who
offered
very
specific
ideas
and
questions,
even
if
even
if
Jackie
immediately
shot
down
the
vice
mayor's
idea,
I
appreciate
you
know
the
thought
of
hey.
Could
we
do
this
or
counselor
Torres?
Well,
I.
Disagree
with
some
of
the
proposals.
I
appreciate
the
specific
point.
B
Think
we're
gonna
have
a
responsibility
at
a
city
level
for
bringing
down
costs
and
time
is
money
by
the
way
and
I
think
we're
going
to
have
a
responsibility
to
fight
at
the
state
level
to
remove
barriers
and
find
ways
of
bringing
down
costs
and
speeding
up
project
delivery.
So
with
that
I
think
we
are,
we
have
emotions,
so
we
are
ready
to
vote.
B
Going
to
count
it
all
right,
so
yes
approves
the
wreck
that
passes
unanimously
with
from
all
present,
thanks
to
everybody
for
a
long,
productive
meeting,
we
do
still
have
open
Forum.
Please
do
not
leave.
We
need
to
hear
from
members
of
the
public
who
would
like
to
comment
on
anything
that
was
not
on
today's
agenda.

Hi,
my
boy
Beekman
here
thanks
a
lot
for
the
meeting
today,
I'm
interested
how
to
talk
about
the
concepts
of
a
open
public
policies,
and
you
know
the
transparency
work
I
do
with
tech
issues
is
important
down
in
San
Diego.
X

So
far,
good
luck
on
how
that
effort
can
work
and
I'm
really
gonna,
try
to
consider
and
talk
about
open
public
posts,
the
ideas
in
the
next
few
weeks
and
what
that
can
mean
in
our
beginning
new
stages
of
a
new
Administration
and
Council,
and
thank
you
for
your
patience
now
and
now
I'm
going
to
try
to
talk
about
the
issues
thanks.
