He

bay
area
muslim

for
over
a

in
the
capacity
of
a
speaker,
teacher
and.
D
E

And
in
a
broken
alija
ingrosso,
they
can
lahoma,
I
mean
some,
I
mean
and
make
the
choices,

the
purest

and
the
finest

and
the
most
selective

The

Join
his
hometown
university
as
a
walk
on
the
mark's
path.
As
a
basketball
player
was
cut
short
..
As
the
saying
goes,,
you
can
take
the
player
out
of
the
game,
but
you
can't
take
the
game
out
of
the
player.
mark,
took
his
passions
and
focus
on
a
different
game
sports
journal
and
he
took
the
game
to
the
highest
extent.
D
D
to
do
this
requires
an
incredible
individual
who
takes
the
time
to
understand
players
and
their
families.
players
deal
with
so
much
and
I
think
their
keep
their
guard
up
and
when
comes
to
sharing
their
pain
and
personal
lives
in
mark's
own
words.
I
don't
get
here
if
the
players,
don't
trust
me
with
their
stories.
D
mark,
has
written
thousands
of
stories
for
espn,
yahoo
sports
and,
more
recently,
manscape
a
black
media
platform
focusing
on
uplifting
black
identity.
he's
just
released
the
conversations
projects
on
hulu
and,
let's
be
real.,
he's,
probably
writing
another
story
to
speak..
These
stories
are
more
than
just
words
on
a
page..
They
are
the
difference
between
someone
being
able
to
identify
with
their
hero
or
not.
D
He
has
called
out
the
lack
of
black
athletic
professionals
as
head
coaches,
front
office
and
ownership
positions..
He
has
highlighted
lgbtq
plus
issues
in
sports
and
has
written
about
the
importance
of
women
finding
their
way
into
leadership
positions
in
the
league..
Marc
has
been
willing
to
write
about
things
that
other
people
consider
uncomfortable
writing.
D
So
without
further,
I
am
proud
to
recognize
marc
spears
for
his
accomplishments,
receiving
the
twenty
twenty
three
naismith
hall
of
fame,
curt
gowdy
media
award
for
his
contribution
to
the
game
of
basketball
and
his
upcoming,
william
randolph
hearst
award
for
excellence
in
professional
journalism
from
our
alma
mater

Will
be

to
honor
them..
This
is
a
time
when
we
come
together
as
a
nation
to
honor
and
remember
those
who
have
made
the
ultimate
sacrifice
in
the
line
of
duty
or
as
a
result
of
presumptive

associated
with
exposure

Thanks
for
the
meeting
today.
thanks
a
lot
for
this
item.,
I
hope
there
can
be
a
bit
more
city,
government
staff,
discussion
on
this
item
after
public
comment
know
what
happened
in
twenty
twenty
was
because
people
want
answers.
people
want
to
be
working
towards
something
that's
really
important
and
that
we've
been
working
on
for
a
number
of
years.
Now,
it's
basically
to
lessen
the
use
of
police
and.

At
night,
if
we
do
it
this
way.
and,
in
addition,
we'll
save
potentially
three
months
off
the
schedule
and
then
also
just
reducing
the
amount
of
overall
nighttime
closures
that
the
public
will
encounter
and,
in
general,
less
night
time
work.
Overall..
Another
key
feature
is
that
it
will
improve
right
quality
of
the
pavement
prior
to
the
winter.itk
we'l
al,
a.
W
W
W
W
W
So,
although
the
ramps,
the
on
ramps,
will
be
closed,
we'll
be
able
to
allow
emergency
responders
if
they
need
to,
and
they
think
it's
the
best
way
to
get
to
wherever
they
need
to
go
.,
they
can
come
through
the
closure
and
we'll
have
chp
posted
each
of
those
on
ramps.,
and
so,
if,
if
a
responder
needs
to
get
through,,
we
can
make
those
arrangements..
So
I
think
that
is
a
very
important
thing
to
note..
We
will
have
a
command
center.
W
W
W
W
W
W
W
W
So
when
I
mentioned
district
four
here
on
the
slide,
that
is
the
caltrans
district
for
not
the
san
jose
district
for..
So,
as
you
may
know,
if
you
watch
the
news
bay
area,
we
have
a
lot
of
different
closures
around
the
regional
bay
area.
So
we
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
not,
you
know,
overlapping.
W
Y
Y
Y
We've
also
initiated
a
radio
and
paid
media
advertisements
and
media
buys
to
where
we're
getting
that
information
regarding
the
closures,,
the
detours
and
all
the
construction
information
through
the
media.
we're
using
technology
like
geo
targeting
so
that
we
make
sure
the
people
location
in
the
area
will
get
that
information..
Y
All
this
information
also
can
be
found
on
our
caltrans
website,.
The
project
website,
where
there's
also
a
video
on
the
website
that
the
public
can
see
the
general
information
on
what's
going
to
be
happening,.
What
are
the
benefits
of
the
project,?
The
closure.
we're
also
sharing
this
information
on
our
social
media
channels,
as
well
as
with
our
partnering
agencies,
whether
it's
next
door
they're
putting
it
on
their
next

You're
coming
up
there
when
you're,
when
you're
getting
on
to
eighty
seven,
you
actually
see
a
big
section
of
payment
sort
of
it
almost
looks
like
there's
just
been
a
big
like
some
sort
earthquake
that
caused
the
movement
of
the.
What
exactly?
Why
is
that
that
not
that
specific
section,
but
just
the
condition
of
eighty
seven?
How
was
it
is
there
an
explanation
for
it
is.

buy.,
I
don't
know
that
answer
right.
Now.
I'd
probably
have
to
get
back
to
you
about
that
one.
Now
we
do
our
best
to
try
to
make
sure
that,
depending
on
the
location
that
these
projects
are
in,,
you
know,
we'll
look
at
the
demographics
and
say
ok,.
We
need
vietnamese
or
tagalog
or
spanish,
as
well
as
english.
great..
AG
Our
city,
and
so
you
everybody
uses
you'll,
be
surprised
on
on
your
traveling
on
the
eighty
seven
and
you
see
one
of
my
colleagues
on
the
road
and
or
a
neighbor
or
somebody,
it's
you.
You
always
see
somebody
on
the
eighty
seven,
the
rollercoaster
ride
that
it
is.
But
again
it's
a
major
artery
into
our
into.
AG

B
So
with
that,
thank
you.,
thank
you
councilmember.
What
are
they
colleagues
at
caltrans
again
for
taking
time
to
come
in
and
we're
very
excited
about
this
investment?
Hopefully,
eighty
seven
is
less
of
a
roller
coaster
when
we're
done,
but
really
looking
forward
to
it.
appreciate
the
heads
up
and
you
helping
to
empower
us
to
keep
the
community
informed.

item
seven

one
will
not
be
heard
before
four

so
we're
going
to
skip
down
to
item
eight
point,
one
which
is
the
purchase

agreement
for

extending
the
five

trial
from
east

to
the

which
is
very

Why
don't

any
improvement
in
projected
economic
conditions,
estimates
for
other

sources
and
our

costs
general
fund
shortfalls
may
occur.
That
would
likely
require
additional
service
reductions
to
keep
the
general
fund
in
balance
in
those
years
every
year.
We
must
establish
our
budget
priorities
to.
R

City,
council
and
minimize
any
service
impacts
to
the
community
to
the
greatest

feasible..
I
will
now
turn
it
over
to
jennifer
schembri,,
our
employee
relations
director
and
human
resources
director
and
jim
shannon,.
Our
budget
director
will
go
over
the
agreements
and
budget

more

Porpora
and
sjp
and
that
again
amended
the
terms
of
their
respective
amway's
regarding
compensation
and
the
city
paid
parental
leave.
And
then
just
recently,
we
reached
agreement
with
083
and
ibew
who
do
have
close
contracts.
But
the
agreement
we
reached
with
them
was
related
to
lunar
new
year
and
that
allows
us
to
recognize
the
lunar
new
year
in
twenty
twenty
four..
So
that
means
that
all
bargaining
units
have
agreed
to.
AU
AU
AU

AV
AV
Increases
for
these
bargaining
groups,
along
with
the
bulk
of
what
we
had
set
aside
for
salary
adjustments
for
specific
classification
of
a
total
of
eleven
million
dollars,
which
leaves
us
of
a
general
fund
shortfall
to
solve
here
today
of
2.8
million,
and
the
reason
why
we
need
to
bring
forward
budget
adjustments.
As
jennifer
had
mentioned
earlier,
and
we're
guided
by
city
council
policy.

Million
at
least
twelve
point
five
dollars
million
of
our
general
general
fleet,
although
we
did
in
the
adopted
budget,
have
a
pretty
big
chunk
of
funding
available
for
to
buy
down
some
of
that..
This
would
reduce
that
on
an
on
ongoing
basis
from
about
two
million
to
one
point:
seventy
five
million.
AV
AV
AV
Improvement
to
our
economic
conditions,
we
could
be
looking
at
double
digit
general
fund
shortfalls,
although
we're
going
to
r
everythinas
part
of
our
next
five
year,
forecast
that
will
be
released.
The
end
of
february.,
so
nothing's
going
to
stay
static,
but
this
will.
We
do
expect
this
to
put
some
more
negative
pressure
on
on
a
going
forward,
basis.,
but
because
community
needs
and
expectations
to
expand
various
services
already
exceed.

Then,
as
if
that
wasn't
enough,,
they

I'll,
be
able
to
program
for
two
years,
which
helped
out
many
local
organizations
and
individual
artists
with
funding
to
help
them.
During
a
time
when
entertainment
and
the
arts
were
the
first
to
close
in
the
last
to
open
during
the
epidemic.,
all
those
programs
were
outside
of
what
the
placemaking
program
is
actually
supposed
to
be
doing,
which
is
activating.
AX
And
reimagining
public
space.,
the
team
of
six
event
coordinators,
one
analysts
and
a
group
of
passionate
part
time
leaders
are
the
ones
that
keep
our
community
connected
through
events
like
venkayya.
That
just
happened
on
sunday
brought
over
one
hundred
thousand
attendees
one
hundred
plus
view
of
parks,
events
which
hosted
nights,
movie,
nights,
crab
nights,,
even
yoga
in

park..
All
these
programs
are
necessary
to
revitalize

Now
thirty

pregnant-
and
I
urge
you
to
adopt
the
tentative
agreement
which
provides
eight
weeks
of
paid
parental
leave
to
city
employees..
This
agreement
is
a
tremendous
step
in

providing

I
have
plenty
of
people
that
I
know
that
work
and
that
work
in
city
hall
or
work
for
the
city
that
are
no
longer
there
and
they
have
left
because
they
don't
feel
valued,,
they
feel
harassed,,
they
feel
demeaned,
and
that
comes
from
the
top
down,
and
I
really
don't
think
this
is
what
you
guys
stand
for..
I
don't

you
stand
for

Just
ignore
that.,
but
anyway,
like
there.
It
is
shameful
to
have
a
thousand
openings
and
the
reason
you
do
is
because
people
don't
want
to
work
here.
Anymore.,
they
don't
feel
valued.,
they
don't
feel
respected,
and
that
starts
with
the
mayor
and
it
goes
all
the
way
down,
because
if
you
see
one
person
getting
away
with
it
at
the
top,
it
goes
all
the
way
down.

can
do

need.
We
have
spanish
and
vietnamese
interpreters
at
every
meeting
online
and
in
person
for
city
council
and
council
committee
meetings..
But
if
you
need

in
any

you
need
to

The
key
to

is
to
have
enough
city
employees
to
implement

Yet
today,
one
in

go
unfilled..
The
reason
is
simple:
san

one
of
the
most
expensive

to
live
in
the
united

and
the
average

Although
not
an

scenario.
and
also
wanted
to
point
out,
we
have
very
limited
time
to
be
able
to
come
up
with
these.
If
we're
in
the
proposed

process,
we're
probably
looking
at
maybe
a
different
suite
of
things
where
we,
where

the

have
more
queued
up

Was

cuts
that
that
you
threw
in

office
brought
forward
to
help
us
get
into

which
is
something
we
have
to
do
every

and
I
assume
this
does
need
to
be
answered,

it's
a
lot
of
talk

there
was
no

Some
trade
offs
this
year,
which
I
think
frankly,
are
not
going
to
be
too
painful.
Thankfully
I
think
that,
with
our
current
projections
and
the
best
information
we
have
available,,
it's
very
likely
that
we
are
looking
at
much
more
significant
trade
offs
in
order
to
be
in
balance
in
years
two
and
three.,
and
I
think
we
should
explicit
about
that..
That's
not
to
say
that's
not
to
blame
anyone.,
that's
not
to
say
that
there's
any
bad
intent.

Best

we're
going

relook
at
where
all
the

are
throughout
the

that
would
probably
grow
you

around

be
around
roughly
nine

afford

even

raise.,
but
just
given
what
we
are
considering
here,
what
would
be
a
ballpark
sense
of
the
impact
on
the
the
unfunded
liability,
and
I
want
to
follow
up
with
asking
when
that
is
likely
to
hit
the
general
fund
and
kind
of
what
sort
the
impact
we're
talking.

jim,,
you
just
raised
a
really
important
point,
which
is
that
I've
only
been
focusing
on
the
impacts
of
essentially
these
contracts
on
the
general
fund..
What
is
the
impact?
One
of
the
areas
of
greatest
concern
we
hear
from
residents
has
to
do
with
with
fees
the
cost
of
various
utilities
and
other
fee
based
programs..
AV
AV
AV
Building
permit
or
any
other
miscellaneous
permit,
you
might
have.,
so
you
know,
we're
we're
not
recommending
any
sort
of
rate
increases
as
part
of
this
process.
Here.,
I
think
when
we
looked
at
the
different
funds,
there
was
a
sufficient
funding
to
be
able
to
pay
for
that
in
23
24.,
but
those
costs
will
be
evaluated
and
factored
into
the
twenty
four
twenty
five
fees.

we
figure
that
out
and
and
apply
that
towards
having
that
third
vehicle.,
but
I
don't
want
get
to
that
discussion
now..
I
want
to
go
back
and
sort
of
talk
about
my
more
general
comments.
First..
First,
I
want
to
thank
the
city's
negotiating
team
and
bargaining
and
negotiating
teams
for
the
hard
work
to
get
us
to
this
point..
AJ
AJ
AJ
The
year
ahead
and
I'll
get
back
to
that.,
but
I
first
want
to
thank
my
colleagues,
councilmember
and
jimenez
for
working
on
the
memo
that
we
introduced
on
the
site,
and
I
think
it's
important
that
the
council,
members
and
mayor's
office
have
skin
in
the
game
as
we
move
forward
and
we
shouldn't
reflexively
cut
parks.
As
our
first
budget
balancing.
AJ
I
also
want
to
just
express
my
opinion
that
our
memo
and
the
discussion
of
all
the
cuts
that
we're
doing
right
now
are
one
time
cuts
for
this
year
to
get
through
this
year's
2.8
million
dollar
deficit.,
and
I'm
not
necessarily
under
the
expectation
that
we're
saying
here
today
that
this
is
ongoing,
because
we're
going
to
have
a
holistic
discussion
about
our
budget
next
year,
which
may
adjust
these
things
up
and
down.
As
we
deal
with
whatever
deficit,
we
have
next
year..
So
we
should
be
on
the
table
that
this,
whatever
cuts,
we're.
AJ
Doing
in
our
memo,
or
that
came
forward,
may
change
next
year.,
some
of
them
we
might
decide
as
a
council
to
put
back
while
we
cut
other
things..
So
that's
my
expectation..
It
may
not
be
everybody's
expectation.
Now
I
want
to
be
very
honest
about
the
numbers
here..
This
is
really
important.
Point..
I
have
a
question,
jim.
AJ
AV
AJ
AV
AV
AJ
AJ
So
we
were
going
to
be
having
conversations
assuming
all
that
stays
the
same
and
we're
all,
you
know,
optimistic
about
the
economy
or
that
revenues
will
come
in
different
or
that
things
will
happen.
But
assuming
that
your
projections
are
accurate
for
next
year
and
there's
no
reason
to
believe
they
aren't,,
we
were
going
to
be
having
conversations
about
budget
cuts
in
twenty
four
twenty
five,
even
at
the
five,
four,
three
level,
and
I
just
want
that
to
be
very
clear
to
everybody.
That's
listening
to
the
conversation
that
it's
a.
AJ
AJ
AJ
Was
we
was
when
was
a
budget
in
the
middle
of
negotiations?
When
budgets
are
passed
in
the
middle
of
negotiation
prns,
we
are
knowing
that
we're
going
to
have
to
come
back
and
make
adjustments
once
the
negotiations
are
done..
This
is
not
something.
This
is
something
that
happens
all
the
time
in
agencies
negotiate
with
their
unions.,
so
we
passed
a
budget
with
the
best
information
available
at
the
time,
but
knew
that
there
was
likely
to
be
an
adjustment
..
So
I
just
want
to
also
be
clear
about
that.

I
don't

that
operating

in

so
I
would
need
to
go,
pull
it
up
and
look.,
but
I
think
there's
certain
classification.
you're,
absolutely
having
challenges..
So
some
of
the
classifications
of
people
who
are
here
overall,
the
mayor
is
asking
me
questions
kind
of
overall
in
a
city
wide
basis.,
you
know,,
we
have
hired
thirteen
hundred
employees
and
from
a

perspective,
our

The

you

that's
kind

around
this
misinformation-
that's
being
spread
by
some
individuals
on
this
council.-
you
could
have
data
and
point
to
it
and
say
that
it
could
say
anything,
but
it's
important
that
we
compare
apples
to
oranges,
right?.
I
mean
apples
to

to

I
think
that's
that's

we've
been
doing.

At
a
hundred
million,
so
you
know,,
there's,
as
I
mentioned,
there's
been
statements
and
I'm
not
interested
in
holding
space
for
rhetoric
as
it
represents
a
classic
case
of
fear
mongering
and
misinformation
meant
to
pit
our
community
and
our
workers
against
themselves..
We
have
a
chance
to
lead
by
example
and
take
minor
cuts
to
our
office
budget
to
make
sure.
J
We
have
a
city
government
with
real
capacity
and
I've
seen
what
some
would
do
with
this
money,
and
I
fail
to
see
how
hiring
content
creators
for
our
offices
would
help
the
families
of
our
district..
I
don't
think
we
need
more
examples:
tick,
tock
videos.
So
I
strongly
urge
my
colleagues
to
reject
this
rhetoric,,
reject

about

Save
some
cost
on
and
that
that
exercise-
and
we
probably
should
have
more
explicit
in
the
memo.,
but
that
exercise
being
done
would
result
in
some
in
some
extra
prns
budget
that
we
would
then
say
the
first
place
it
should
go
is
in
restoring
vecchia.
In

I
also
had
mentioned
before
the
idea
that
there's
a
there's,
an
economic
benefit,
that
we
know
we
can
pencil
and
I
think
we
can
calculate
an
economic
benefit
to
the
city
or
to
some
level
that
we
gain
from
having
of
vecchia
event
that
we
should
apply
towards
funding
the
vecchia
event..
So
those
are
the
that's
where
that
was
meant
to
come.

an
acknowledgment
of
the

required

representing

The
city

been
my
home
for
the
past
15
years
of
my
life
and
the
memories
I
had
made
will
truly
last
a
lifetime.
I've
always
wanted
to
be
involved
in
my
local
government,
so
I
join
my
district's
youth
advisory
council
in
my
freshman
year
and
have
since
progressed
from
tech
director
to
vice
present
to
now

During
this
time
I
have
gotten
the
opportunity
to
participate

That
has

I
hope
you
want
to
participate
in
and
share,
and
that's
where
the
children's
bill

things
can
help
uh,
share
that
with
other
people
of
your
age
group
and
that
we
grow
our
community
as
a
whole
community
and
not
just
for
a
specialized
view..
Really
good
luck!
How

Later

this

where
them
being
very
close
to
me
and
my
age,
with
the
youth
and
being
able
to
have
this
type,

you
will
have
increased
participation,
because
ours
are
great,
but
money
is
even
better..
You

I
feel
like
this

can
help
level
the

our
students

coming
from
difficult
places.

Who
may

I
feel
like
these
are
young
professionals
who
are
just
like
myself
and
we
have
limited
financial
resources
and
I
feel
like
they
can
better
assist
and
understand
that
students,
like
myself,
you
know,
when
you
send
countless
emails
to
guys
who
are
busy.
But
you

can
better
relate

What
the
current

for
that
are,

you
know,
good
old
fashioned
door,
knocking
going
into
your
districts
and
really
looking
at
under-resourced,
neighborhoods
and
trying
to
identify
students
that
I
think
would
be
really
great.
and
so,
as
part
of
all
of
the
great
recommendations
that
have
put
forth
by
the
youth
commission,.
I
would
also
just
urge
city

to
think
deeply
about
those
outreach,
efforts.

Presenting,
as
did
today-
and
this
is
there's
no
exception.,
it's
it's
impressive
to
hear.
You
articulate
your
vision
for
the
city
and
your
needs
and
your
desires.
For
the
commission.-
I
know
your
work
started
based
on
a
memo
that
I
wrote
I
probably
a
year
ago,
or
so.
I
came
back
from
the
league
of
cities
conference
and
heard
how
other
cities,
youth
commissions
are
set
up
and
how
they
involve
youth
and
thought
we
don't.

may
go
and
report.
We
have
a
standing
report
with
the
library
and
education
commission,
updating
them
on
the
stuff
that
the
youth
commission
is
working
on
and
working
towards.,

that
that
provision
has
always

for

that
something
related

anything
anything
related

would
go
to
the
parks
commission,.
Any
public
art
would
go
to
the
arts
commission
first
before
it
comes
to
us
historic
landmarks..
Here's
things
first.,

each
of
those
might
be
something
that
the

would
want
to
weigh
in

now
probably
don't
even
know
who

long,
long
time

I've
tried
to
engage
with
andrew
as
much
as
I
could.
we're
partnering
to
put
together
an
event
in
october,
.
so
really
excited
for
that.,
but
you
I
started
out
on
a
commission,
not
a
youth
commission,
but
on
the
human
relations
commission.-
it's
a
great
way
to
get
involved
and
I
know
you
all
have
the
the
ability
to
continue
your
your
activity

engagement..

Let's
call
guys
man
ok
well,
this
is
the
time
you
guys
really
took
time
away
from
me
..
This
is
a
time
of
nine
eleven.
You
know
and
a
week
a
time
of
mourning.
uh,.
I
think
it
is
important
to
really
consider
what
happened
on
the
day
of
9/11
and
we
have
to
learn
how
to
be
more
accountable
and
speak
more
honestly.
What
happened
on
that.
S
um,,
it's
important
to
learn
how
to
do
that..
I
hope
we
can.
I
think
we
can
we
need
to
because
we
don't
know
how
to
be
honest
with
each
other
about
what
happened
on
that.
Good
luck,
how
we
can
do
that..
I
think
it
would
really
address
how
to
limit
war
and
work
more
towards
peace
and
open
dialog
to
solve
our
issues
with
my
remaining
time.,
there
is
another
real
big.

explains
that
we
do
have
a
problem
with
our
with
our
homeless
youth
and
we
need
to
reach
out
to
them..

the
fact
that
I'm
doing
all
these
great
things,

I
don't
have
these
resources
like
the
rich
stanford
students
like
the
santa
clara
as
soon
as
these
harvard
students
all
access
for
a
chance
and
just
to
get
a
small

That
can
help
me

I

these

that
are
pushing

youth,,

african-americ

we
can
come
to
a
resolution.
