Well,,
I
know
it
has
not
gone
unnoticed
by
any
of
us..
That
today
is
the
one
year
anniversary
of
the
murder
of
george
floyd.,
we'll
certainly
be
keeping
him
and
his
family
in
our
thoughts..
Today's
invocation
will
be
provided
by
professor
remodeling
casimiro
carrasco..
Tell

I
have
personally
worked
with
dr.
armisen
on
creating
a
strong
cannabis
equity
program
here
in
the
city
of
san
jose..
Cannabis
equity
programs
seek
to
provide
opportunities
for
those
disproportionately
who
have
arrested,,
incarcerated
or
otherwise
impacted
by
previous
cannabis
policies
to
have
access

Industry.
he's
my
biggest
partner
in
this.
E
E
F
F
In
2020
resurfaced
as
a
summer
wave
of
little
protest,
including
some
of
the
largest
in
u.s.
history.,
as
you
also
know,,
san
jose,
was
one
of
many
homes..
This
protest
movement
resulting
in
our
own
public
displays
of
rebellion
over
racist
police
violence
that
were
met
by
more
police
violence.
That
is
now
the
subject.
Civil
suits
not
unlike.
F
It
demonstrated
what
scholars
younger
you
moderated
earlier
called
the
quote:
callous
disregard
for
black
life
and,
more
importantly,
the
inverted
power
relationship
between
the
police
as
an
institution
and
the
everyday
people
who
literally
pay
for
their
existence
and
whose
compliance
is
necessary
to
legitimate
the
state
monopoly
on
the
use
of
force.,
their
right
to
detain,
cage,
kill
and
surveil
other
people
under
the
license
of
the
state..
Perhaps
nowhere
was
this
made
more
evident
than
in
the
burning
down
of
minneapolis
police
station
also
called
a
quote
playground
for
renegade
cops
by
local
residents.
for
years.
F
F
Indeed,
police
in
the
us
kill
approximately
a
thousand
people
a
year,
far
out
of
pace
with
the
rest
of
the
quote
industrialized
world
and
have
killed
at
least
one
thousand
sixty
eight
people
since
the
murder
of
george
floyd
a
year
ago..
This
includes
members
of
our
own
communities
already
mentioned.
Like
twenty
seven
year
old
david
tovar,,
an
unarmed
man
shot
killed
by
a
cpd
in
january.
F
Police
violence
almost
universally
working
class
people
and
poor
people,
black
americans
continue
to
be
three
times
as
likely
as
their
white
counterparts
to
be
killed
by
police.
all
other
variables
control
fewer
than
2
percent..
That's
actually
what
one
point:
seven
percent,
in
fact
of
officers
who
kill
are
actually
ever
charged
with
a
crime.
despite
the
persistence
of
violence
in
the
united
states.
F
I'm
sorry,
despite
the
persistence
of
police
violence,
the
united
states.,
the
protest
movement
since
george
floyd's
death
is
now
beginning
to
show
fruit
in
cases,
police
reform
and
a
partial
defunding
of
police
in
favor
of
other
investments
in
public
safety
and
community
safety..
For
example,.
These
twenty
five
cities
have
decided
to
remove
police
from
public
schools.
san
francisco
officials
pledged
to
divest
one
hundred
twenty
million
dollars
from
police..
F
20
million
from
the
police
budget
to
invest
in
a
variety
of
community
needs
related
to
the
covid
pandemic
poverty
and
homelessness.,
while
cnooc
has
done
very
little
in
the
way
of
change
since
the
explosion
of
protests.
Last
summer,
opportunities
remain
for
immediate
reform
of
certain
use
of
force
practices
or
the
tempo,
or
the
transparency
of
police
contract
bargaining,
for
example,
and
for
larger
structural
reforms
that
would
shift
investment
from
policing
to
other
proven
methods
of
providing
public
safety..
F
F
Capita
that
defines
the
lives
of
residents
in
a
public
institution
of
policing
that
not,
unlike
our
other
institutions
in
our
region,
serve
the
interests
of
the
wealthy,,
powerful
and
some
of
those
in
their
service..
This
is
only
unique
to
san
jose
and
its
extremes
as
members
of
the
billionaire
class
and
those
in
their
favor
literally
drive
and
walk
by
one
of
the
largest
most
persistent
homeless
crises
in
the
nation
on
a
daily
basis..
F
My
colleagues
and
I

he
remained
committed
to
this
task
and
hope
that
we
might
realize
meaningful
social
change

a
result.,

council

Thank
you
for
this
invitation
to
roslyn
who
extended
it
to
mayor
to
all
of
you,
two
lapd
members
to
which
I've
worked.
With.,
I
see
you
are
here.
and
I
won't
belabor
the
point
by
recounting
the
story
of
george
floyd,
although
I
do
think
that
it
is
important..
But
I
will
tell
my
personal
engagement
a
year
ago
may
25th.
H
H
Her
sobbing
and
me
not
being
able
to
control
it..
I
remember
my
young
boys
looking
to
me
asking
me,
the
question
is
knowing
the
work
that
I
do.
that
how
why
is
this?
or
what's
really
going
on??
Why
would
this
happen?
and
also
remember
that
very
same
day,
getting
or
two
days
later,
actually
getting
a
phone
call
from
then
chief
eddie
garcia
to
come
and
speak
to
hpd
cadets
if
they
were
going
in.,
the
emotions
were
high..
I
took
my
boys
with
me
to.
H
H
H
H
H
H
H
H
To
communities
who
have
been
thirsting
in
hungary,
something
amazing.
now
I'm
not
in
your
position
and
that's
a
gift..
I
get
to
be
a
pastor..
I
get
to
be
on
the
side.
I
get
to
communicate.,
but
you
are
in
position
and
you're
elected
for
this
very
reason,
because
people
trust
that
when
difficult
things
came
that
you
could
respond
and
not
just
respond.
H
People
may
not
foley,
understand
initially.
I'll,
say
it
to
you
like
this.,
as
I
close,
I
was
thinking
about
doing
some
renovations
to
our
house
and,
like
many
other
folks,,
you
know
when
you
do
the
renovation,
sometimes
they
so
costly.
So
much
you
decide
just
to
kind
of
do
them
small
little
piece
here
and
they're,
hoping
that
by
time
you
get
down
the
line.
Everything
is
put
together..
H
H
well,,
that's
what
my
concern
is
is
that,
as
we
start,
imagining
that
we'll
be
just
like
that
will
start
a
lot
of
these
small
little
projects
trying
to
drip
in
change
as
opposed
to
ripping
off
the
band-aid
foley
renovating
what
we
need
to
do
and
allowing
it
to
be
so
reimagining
doesn't
mean
the
sj
pd
is
bad.
no,,
but.
H
B
I
And
so
it's
my
pleasure
to
be
able
to
recognize
the
month
of
may
as
stroke
awareness
month
here
in
the
city
of
santo,
say,
stroke

is
focused
on
bringing
community
awareness
to
the
importance
of
understanding
the
warning
signs
of
a
stroke
and
the
actions
that
could
help
save
life..
It
also
highlights
the
importance
of
preventative
measures
that
can
help
reduce
the
risk
of
a
stroke.

suffer
a

and
more
than
3000

The

made
it
their

provide
improved

better

they've
created
educational
resources
that

at

quite
an
impressive.

that
if
we
do
a
little
to
improve
the
habitat,
it
really
can
be
fantastic
to
see
these
these
large
fish
and
something
that
you
know,,
the
community
could
could
really
celebrate.
once
we
we
get
a
healthy

So
thank
you
for
moving
forward
with

to

this

what
to
think
churches

for
all
the
work
that
they've
done..
I
also
wanted
out..
I
asked
someone
from
housing
and
see
rachel's
on
the
call.
rachel,
someone
from
my
team,
I
think
likely
reached
that..
We
noticed
that
the
term
of
the
vouchers
was
a
little
different
on
this
project
as
compared
to
the
previous
project..
Can
you
remind
me??
Was
there
just
there
in
the
report

and
I
think
I
think,
I'm.

My
notes.
certainly
talked
about
this
during
the
rules
committee,
but
I
know
you're
not
on
there.
so..
So
initially
what
happened
was
that
there
was
a
there
was
a
vote
by
the
workers
to
unionize,
and
that
vote
was
that
vote
passed.
and
then
I
think
imperfect
foods.
What
they
did
is
they
they
they
had
some
objections
to
that.,
but
soon
after
we
submitted
the
memo
to
the
rules,
committee,,
the
national
labor
relations
board
actually
sided
with
the
workers.
D
Saying
that
the
that
the
vote
was
fair
and
that,.
You
know,
things
can
move
forward..
So
that's
why?
Essentially,
the
the
resolution
shifted
from
supporting
the
worker's
right
to
unionize,
to
supporting
the
worker's
right
to
a
fair,
contract.
and
part
of
it.
Is
that
imperfect
loser
in
the
eyes
of
many
have
really
shown
an
unwillingness
to
really
come
to
the
table
and
really
be
fair.
B
D
B
L
L
L
These
drivers
deserve
a
strong,
fair
contract
after
working
tirelessly
for
the
last
year
during
a
pandemic
serving
our
communities
specifically
in
san
jose..
So
the
drivers
and
you
of
cw
local

would
love
nothing
more
than
to
have
the
support
of
our
elected
officials
as
we
go
to
the
bargaining
table
and
begin
to
to
ask
for
the
wage.

Increases
and
health
care
benefits
that
these
workers.,
so
much
so
deserve.
and
just
having
this
resolution
passed,
will
send
a
message
to
the
drivers
that
you
all
acknowledge
the
incredible
work
they've
been
doing
and
that
you
also
expect
that
employers
in
your
community
sit
down
and
negotiate
with
their
employees
when
they
win
a
union.

Does.
you
know,,
I
when
we
went
to
the
rules
committee
when
we
originally
submitted
the
document
it
set
right
to
unionize
and
then
when
we
finally
got
in
sort
of
the
rules
committee,
we
actually
had
a
replacement
memo
or
a
supplemental
model,
just
changing
the
language.,
and
so
I'm
not
sure
if
it's
reflective
on
the
item
as
it
relates
split,
but
that's
in
effect,
what
it
is
just
supporting
them
as
they
go
through
a
contract..
So
it
isn't
necessarily.
The
right
is
supporting
the
right
to
unionize..
If
there,
how
many.
B
D
B
B
B
Know
much
about
the
struggle,
but
I
assume
the
nlrb
has
ruled,
which
meant
that
certainly
the
employees
had
a
righteous
claim
to
unionize
and
understand,
support
that
right.,
but
now
they're
in
contract
negotiations,
again
about
which
I
know
virtually
nothing..
We
have
a
counsel
policy,
zero,
daniel
levin,
and
I
just
read
that
the
preface
here
to
provide
guidelines
to
the
counsel's
consideration
and
requests
for
action
upon
a
matter
of
which
the
city
lacks
jurisdiction,
has
a
substantial
influence
and
a
preserved
public
time,
resources
and
deliberation.
B
Those
matters
upon
which
the
council's
decisions
have
direct
and
concrete
consequences
for
the
city.
and
then
acknowledges,
of
course,
foley
realizing
and
supporting
the
fundamental
right
of
every
city
in
the
city
to
make
use
opinions.
Known.
the
policy
of
the
council
decision
that
actions
be
restricted
to
issues
that
most
directly
impact.
In
effect,
the
city
of
san
is
a
and.
B
Obviously,
a
reference
to
those
issues.,
the
city
actually
has
some
jurisdiction
and
direct
influence
over
it.
Then
it
mentions,
at
the
end
of
conference,
held
adopted
a
policy
of
easy..
This
was
judicious
ness
and
improve
the
efficacy
of
this
is
produced
by
the
council,
not
this..
This
item
is
a
very
small
yes..
This
went
out
for
my
questions..
This
item
would
take
a
couple
minutes.,
I'm
mindful
of
that,
and
I
don't.
B
I
don't
blame
anybody
for
speaking
out
council
members
and
saying
this
is
wrong.
and
obviously,
as
we
invest
more
of
our
time
learning
about
injustice,,
it
may
be
going
on
our
community.,
but
my
concern
is
fundamental..
This
is
about
a
company,
that's
not
in
our
city,
where
the
decisions
that
we're
not
making
we
have
no
real
influence
over
and
might.
B
Concerned
about
is
what
this
would
set
is
precedent
for
lots
of
other
things
that
would
then
be
put
before
the
council
for
us
to
have
extensive
debate
about,
because
inevitably
these
are
issues
that
are
going
to
involve
disagreements.
right..
That's
what
every
labor
dispute
is..
Usually
it's
a
disagreement
and
require
an
awful
lot
of
investigation
and
inquiry,
an
area
where
we're
simply
don't
have
any
influence
directly
on
the
outcome.
and
I'm
pretty
confident
the
folks
at
the
bargaining
table.
Aren't
that
interested
in
what
we
think
either.,
and
so
I
would
you.
B
B
Decisions
actually
have
a
direct
impact.,
and
so
for
that
reason
I'm
not
inclined
to
support
the
motion,
although
I
know
obviously
very
well
attended..
I
appreciate
the
spirit
and
certainly
support
their
bargaining
and
support
the
right
to
unionize..
I'm
glad
they're
unionized.
I'd
like
to
believe
now.
The
process
will
work
its
way
out
as
it's
supposed
through
collective
bargaining.
in
any
event,
any.
I
B
I
I
I
I
I
also
would
say
even
small
portion
of
santa
was
a
workers
that
are
being
impacted..
I
think
it's
important
at
times
for
us
to
collectively,
if
we
want
to
make
a
stance-
and
I
think
in
this
case
that
was
the
interest
for
myself
and
council
member
who
minutes.
We
knew
as
well
that
if
we
wanted
to
be
able
to
make
a
statement
ourselves,
we
could
simply
do
that..
I
I
B
Ok.
yeah.
and
points
well
taken,
obviously
again,
a
small
item..
I
would
just
encourage
the
rules
committee
to
think
about
where
the
line
does
get
drawn,
because
I
think
there
could
be
many
dozens
of
these
kinds
of
issues.
and,
of
course,
we're
not
the
adjudicator
anybody
and
we
don't
have
the
resources
to
understand
the
issues
at
a
level.
They
certainly
deserve
to
be
understood..
So
I
appreciate
the
points.
all
right.
let's.,
let's
vote
on
my
right
hand
is
the
motion.
Minus?
yes.,.
B

K
K
K

There
is,
there
is
an
uncomfortable
issue
that
I
have
that
I
we
have
a
problem
addressing
asians
in
leadership
roles
and
I
hope
we
can
consider
that
all
of
us
can
consider
that
and
it
isn't
just
african-americans
and
hispanic
community..
There's
an
asian
community
that
has
a
good
participation
process
and
their
leadership
should
be
respected..
K
I
I
Camera
came
by
cs,
I
believe
daniel
lasalle.,
my
apologies,
if
I
butchered
anybody's
names
in
the
many
other
city
staff
that
responded
to
my
memo
back
in
february..
I
also
want
to
thank
all
of
our
community
based
organizations
and
partners
worked
on
hosting
the
listening
sessions,
which
have
helped
to
inform
these
proposed
strategies.,
and
obviously
it
would
be
nice
to
say
that
these
strategies
were
not
needed,
but,
as
we
continue
to
see
across
the
country,
are
api
community
remains
viciously
under
attack.
I
Certainly
we
feel
for
them
and
can
only
imagine
the
fear
that
they
are
experiencing..
I'm
proud
that
our
city
has
responded
from
the
work
on
the
listening
sessions
to
evaluate
the
needs
and
voices
of
the
community
and
literally
walking,
besides
in
solidarity
like
our
japan,
10
volunteers,
and
to
show
that
we
are
not
deterred
in
our
commitment
to
keep
everyone
safe,
and
I
appreciate
the
proposed
strategies
and
look
forward
to
hearing
the
progress
of
these
strategies
in
six
months..
As
we've
asked
for
the
public
safety,
finance
and
strategic
support
committee.
I
I
They
were
burned
down
to
the
ground
and
this
is
a
tragic
part
of
our
city's
history.
in
specific
attacks
on
the
chinese
immigrants,
community
members
and-
and
so
I
do
believe,
we
could
take
some
some
action..
So
I
wanted
to
ask
if,
along
with
my
motion,
if
it
would
be
possible
for
asking
the
city,
manager
and
city
attorney
per
our
counsel
policy,
zero
dash
eleven,
if
staff
can
return
with.
I
O
O
Again,
this
year.
and
I'm
very
proud
to
join
him
and
council
member
arenas
and
bringing
forward
our
memo,
which
outlines
the
important
next
steps
for
to
take.,
and
I
wanted
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
district
7.,
where
we
have.
The
city
has
been
working
really
hard
to
take
actions
to
engage,,
inform
and
protect
little
saigon
and
other
neighborhoods
in
district
7..
O
O
O
O
Memo
that
I
put
forward
and
give
some
background
on
that
as
the
co-chair
of
the
county's
hate
crime
task
force.,
it's
critical.
I
think
that
we
coordinate
as
closely
as
possible
the
work
of
the
task
force
and
the
county,
including
the
d.a.,
the
sheriff's
office
and
other
law
enforcement
agencies,
including
our
own
sj
pd.,
and
so
I
wanted
to
mention
the
language
in
this..
We
will
be
the
first
city
that
adopts
this
resolution
in
the
county..
O
It
is
coming
to
the
county.
I
think
next
month..
So
in
a
couple
of
weeks
and
this
resolution,
the
language
that
is
in
my
memo
was
brought
forward
by
the
asian
law
alliance
and
the
task
force
actually
unanimously
voted
on
this
resolution
and
put
it
forward
to
the
county
regarding
law
enforcement.
Training,
community
outreach
and
support
for

O
O
O
Of
that
and
to
learn
that
words
matter
and
everyone
is
paying
the
price.,
and
I
think
it's
really
important
that
we
come
together
to
address
racial
hatred
and
xenophobia.
That
really
lie
at
the
heart
of
all
of
this
violence
that
we're
seeing
in
our
community.,
and
so
I
just
like
to
thank
everyone
for
coming
together,,
keeping
everybody
safe
and
healing
together
as
a
community..
Thank
you..
Thank
you.

P
P
P
Q
Q
How
can
we
help
co-host
them?,
and
so
they,
the
community,
based
organizations,
really
led
the
outreach
and
the
marketing
very
to
various
pockets
of
san
jose's
that
were
that
were
represented.,
basically,
the
api
community,
specifically
and
in
their
language..
So
they
did
most
of
that,
and
I
understand
that
there
are
a
couple
more.
Q
P
P
Folks
of
very
diverse
backgrounds
into
the
fold
and
into
what
learning
more
about
their
needs
so
that
we
can
match
them
better
and
and
integrate
their
voices,
and
so
this
is
really
important
to
me
..
I
would
really
love
to
get
those
notices
so
that
I
can
then
also
share
this
information
to
my
community.
P
P
And
as
I
as
I
understand,
it
sounds
like
the
the
community
based
organizations
were
the
ones
responsible
for
that
engagement
for
those
listening
sessions.,
but
as
a
convener.
I
hope
that
you
can
connect
the
council
with
with
those
folks
so
that
it's
one
you
know,
the
process
is
one
in
the
same.
It
doesn't
matter
whether
who
who's
coming
in
and
who's
doing,
the
listening,
sessions.
and
so.
P
G
For
taking
my
comments.,
I'm
sorry.,
I
miraculously
missed
the
opportunity
to
speak,
even
though
I
was
watching
anyway..
So
I
just
want
to
thank
you
all.
thank
everyone.
All
the
council,
members
and
the
mayor
for
your
support
and
understanding
for
that
that
the
trauma
that
our
community
is
going
through.
and
I
just.
G
Want
to
say
that
you
we
have
been
doing
listening
sessions
every
two
weeks
and
at
the
last
minute,
at
the
last
we
a
meeting
last
week,
people
talked
about,,
you
know,,
how
about,
instead
of
waiting
for
the
street
lights
or
more
street
lights,,
how
about
giving
them
some
like
motion
sensor
lights,
so
that
the
houses
there
are
kind
of
away,
tucked
away
from
the
street
lights.
They
can
have
some
support.
G
G
Please
bring
us
back
to
back,
because
that
would
help
tremendously
in
terms
of,,
you
know,
lowering
addressing
the
trauma,,
the
depression,,
the
frustration,,
the
despair.
All
of
that
is
is
skyrocketing
right,
now.
and
I
did
manage
to
show
them
the
balancing
act,
the
budget
gap
and
they
really
liked
it..
They
really
enjoyed
it..
Thank
you
so
much.
thank
you.

Thank
you
for
all.
B

C
C
One
recommendation
that
we
would
like
to
also
add
for
the
strategies
is
making
sure
that
there's
a
site
for
mental
health
hotline
or
mental
health
support
for
our
community
members
who
are
suffering
from
hate
crimes
and
from
discrimination,
because
it
is
a
very
unique
experience.,
and
that
was
a
problem
that
we've
actually
run
into
when
people
have
called
reporting
discrimination
or
a
hate
crime
or
being
called
names..
So
that
was
just
the
only
thing
we
wanted
to
add.
but
other
than
that..
Thank
you
so
much.
that
is
all..
Thank
you..
All.
N
These
recommendations
start,
and
I
support
them
wholeheartedly,
but
we
need
to
recognize
that
they're
just
the
beginning..
We
need
to
be
committed
to
taking
concrete
steps
toward
addressing
the
alarming
surge
in
hate
crimes
we've
seen
over
the
last
year..
The
work
cannot
stop
here..
We
need
to
do
more
than
listen
to
the
community..
N
We
need
to
engage
with
the
community
and
take
meaningful
action..
We
need
to
establish
clear
parameters
for
success,
so
we
can
measure
our
progress
and
hold
ourselves
accountable.
with
hate
crimes
escalating
across
many
of
our
communities,.
We
need
tangible,
concrete,
actions.
and
now
we're
even
seeing
additional
hate
crimes,
building
against
the
jewish
community
and
I'm
concerned
about
similar
kinds
of
situation
where
we're
learning
that
words
matter
and
how
we
discuss
issues
makes
a
big
difference
in
how
people
are
treated
in
our
community..
N
So
we
need
to
always
be
aware
of
that
district
for
my
staff
and
I've
been
working
with
the
santa
fe
police,
department,,
the
crime,
prevention,
unit.
community
organizations
and
leaders
on
a
number
of
solutions..
We
pilot
a
program
we're
calling
the
safe
neighborhood
initiative..
The
first
event
was
held
two
weeks
ago
and
was
a
huge
success..
The
goal
of
the
safe
neighbor
initiative
is
to
include
everyone
from
neighbors
to
law
enforcement
in
collectively
working
to
improve
public
safety..
We
want
to
give
our
residents
the
tools
they
need
to
stay.
Safe.
N
come
to
the
aid
of
others
who
are
threatened
and
be
our
eyes
and
ears
in
neighborhoods..
So
we
had
a
big
turnout.
A
couple
weeks
go
and
we're
working
to
certify
thousands
of
residents
across
our
district
and
across
the
city
through
this
program.
we're
holding
our
second
event
coming
up
in
mid-june..
We
expect
it
to
be
in
a
larger
version
of
the
same
event.
We
did
last
month.
N
He
was
there
for
our
safe
neighbor
kick
off
and
spoken
interacted
with
members
of
our
community..
I
also
walked
around
the
a
couple
of
our
shopping
centers
with
us
to
introduce
ourselves
to
the
businesses
there.
so
again,.
I
support
the
recommendations.
This
motion,
as
well
as
the
recommendations
and
the
recommendations
that
were
in
all
the
memos
that
are,
are
part
of
emotion.
and
it's
a
great
start,
and
I
hope
it
will
continue
to
work
together
in
the
coming
weeks
to
translate
these
into
concrete
action
and
meaningful
progress.
thanks.
M
M
That
was
no
action
that
was
words..
This
is
going
to
the
next
step
and
I'm
really
pleased
to
see
this
over
the
weekend.
I
spent
the
weekend
in
texas
with
my
brother
and
his
wife,
who
is
from
malaysia
to
celebrate
his
their
son.
My
nephew's
graduation
from
high
school
there.
he's
biracial..
My
sister
in
law
is
chinese
and.
M
Targeted
because
of
her
race
by
very
many
different
people's
within
the
texas
community
that
she
lives
in.,
I
actually
was
surprised
to
hear
it
because
she
lives
in
a
community
that
you
don't
expect
that
to
she's
surrounded
by
diversity..
So
I'm
I'm
appalled
by
that.,
I'm
hurt
by
that.,
I'm
no
one
should.
M
Be
targeted
because
of
their
race,,
their
gender,,
their
color,,
their
religion..
We
all
need
to
work
together
and
show
love
and
support
for
each
other..
That's
just
words.!
So
I'm
really
happy
to
see
that
we're
moving
forward
with
this
recognition
and
move
forward
with
this
resolution
to
take
some
action.,
and
I
also
want
to
thank
council
member
peralez
for
her
leadership
on
the
hate
crimes
task
force
as
the
county
level..
I'm
I'm
grateful
for
the
memos
from
council,
member
peralez
arenas
and
esparza
and.

Last
year.,
I'm
just
looking
it
down
on
the
online
data
that
you
have
there..
There
was
looked
like
there
71
hate
crimes
last
year,
just
in
race,
alone.,
that's
not
counting
religious
religion,,
sexual
orientation
or
others.,
I'm
just
wondering
of
the
21,
or
so
you
know,
roughly
how
many
of
those
were
related
to
race.
yeah,.
I.
L
Specific
to
race
and
as
the
chief
said,,
if
you
combine
the
hate
crimes
and
incidences
for
this
first
quarter
january
through
march,
we
are
looking
at
a
total
of
forty
one
if
you
compare
quarter
to
quarter..
So
if
we
compare
our
forty
one
for
january
to
march
this
year,
to
last
year,
we
had
thirty
six.
So.
B
R
R
B
B
I
appreciate
very
much
pd
efforts
to
really
try
to
encourage
more
reporting..
I
think
it's
equally
important
for
us
to
communicate,
what's
not
happening,
which
is,
you
know,.
The
consequences
of
hate
crime,
of
course,
are
horrible
and
the
impacts
particularly
to
individual
experiences
that
trauma..
But
I
think
it's
also
important
recognize
the
power
that
fear
has.
and
for
us
to.
B
Communicate
that
these
are
relatively
rare
incidents,
because
I'm
concerned
about
the
extent
of
the
fear
and
how
that
affects
the
quality
of
lives
of
our
residents
and
members
of
are
raised.
Asian-American
community.,
I
feel
concerned
about
going
outside
to
go
shopping..
You
know,.
I
think
they
ought
to
hear
that
look,.
B
B
All
communicating
well
about
this
show
anyway,.
I
know
that's
a
very
difficult
balance..
I
think
it's
one
of
those
cases
where
two
things
can
be
true
that
it's
clearly
having
in
our
community
and
we
need
to
do
more
to
encourage
reporting,
but
also
that
that
maybe
some
of
the
fear
may
in
fact
be
driving
a
lot
of
behavior
that
also
reducing
quality
of
life,
that
maybe
some
of
that
fear
will
go
away.
if
people
knew
all
the
facts.
so
anyway,.
I
I
just
raise
that
as
an
setting
for
us
to
consider
better
spartan.
O
O
Report
when
there's
still
a
lot
more
work
to
do
with
the
hate
crimes
task
force.,
but
I
did
want
to
share
a
little
tidbit
and
wanted
to
thank
the
asian
law
alliance
for
their
important
comments.
Earlier..
One
of
the
issues
that
we've
had
a
lot
of
discussion
about
is
the
difference
between
a
hate
crime
and
a
hate
incident.,
as
you
well
know,
and
the
fact
that
so.
O
O
And
so
there
has
been
some
discussion
in
the
community
on
the
task
force
about
having
a
another
entity,.
Another
hotline
that
folks
could
call
so
that
we
could
sort
of
more
accurately
represent,
what's
actually
happening
in
the
community
in
order
to
start
talking
about
it
and
start
healing.,
and
I
think
that's
the
intent
behind
the
listening
sessions
as
well..
Correct
me
if
I'm
wrong.
council
member
peralez,
but
I
just
wanted
to
share
that
because
I
think
what
you're
saying
about
the
fear
and
the
fear
has
an
impact-
is.
O
B
I
Just
in
response
to
one
of
the
community
speakers-
and
we
spoke
to
mental
health
in
the
memo-
the
staff
memo.,
but
then
reading
the
recommended
strategy-
number
one,
it
says,
publish
the
county
hotline
number
to
report
hate
crimes..
I
wanted
to
see
if
we
could
also
publish
the
county's
behavioral
health
hotline
number
as
well
and
just
staff.
That's
if
you're
comfortable
with
that
change
or
addition,
I
should
say
that's
an.
O
B
B
K
K
I
guess
you
round
around
out
round
up
thinking
of
my
past
few
weeks..
I
hope
you're
interested
and
will
be
continue
to
think
of
a
proactive
ideas
with
subsidy
ideas
and
creative
ideas.
Where
you
know,
people
of
low
income.
at
this
time
really
do
not
have
to
pay
rate
increases
at
all
and
people
who
are
of
a
higher
income.
They
can.
K
Afford
rate
increases,
whereas
people
of
low
income
have
more
trouble..
The
subsidy
process
can
easily
take
care
of
low
income
people
at
this
time,
and
I
hope
you
can
develop
really
creative,
proactive
and
open
ways
to
describe
these
policy
ideas
to
the
public
in
the
near
future,
about
affordable
housing.
K
Issues.,
there's
a
bit
of
a
thing
going
on
about
how
to
create
market
rate
housing.
this
time
and
feel
like.
We
have
a
regular
economy
and
things
are
all
normal
and
regular..
But
we
were
really
working
on
affordable
housing
ideas
before
october
19
and
that
should
be
a
part
of
our
regular
future
and.
K
Most
affordable
housing
is
about
at
market
rate
level
at
this
point.,
and
we
really
have
to
consider
what
is
what
can
really
house
people,
people
who
don't
who
have
trouble
getting
housing.?
That
has
to
be
you
know,
brought
back
to
our
thought
process
again
and
just
a
thank
you
in
all
the
work
you've
been
doing
with
reimagined
ideas,.
It's
been
quite
a
process
right
now..
I
think
something.
K
Really,
really
important
can
be
developing
right
now
and
I'm
obviously
going
to
keep
quiet
on
how
I
talk
about
it
and
let
that
mellow
out
and
just
good
luck
and
what
we
can
really
develop
at
this
time..
I
think
it
could
be
important
and
special
and
work
with
the
entire
bay
area,
which
is
what
you've
been
asking
for..
Good
luck
in
all
of
our
efforts
at
this
time.
thank
you.
thank
you..
All
right.
