Thank
you
vice
mayor
good
afternoon.
Everyone
I'm
really
excited
to
share
with
you.
The
musical
stylings
of
tim
atlas
and
tim
grew
up
in
the
east
side
of
san
jose,
surrounded
by
music,
joining
marching
band,
jazz
band
and
drumline,
while
also
teaching
himself
guitar
in
2015
tim
caught
a
major
break
after
he
was
chosen
by
drum
roll
gwen
stefani
to
join
her
team
on
the
ninth
season
of
the
television
singing
competition,
the
voice.
Many
of
you
who
follow
probably
know
tim.
F
Trust
me.
If
you
look
him
up,
you
will
keep
him
on
your
spotify.
Playlist
tim
is
a
true
embodiment
of
what
can
be
achieved
when
peop
young
people
are
encouraged,
empowered
and
provided
with
the
resources
to
follow
their
dreams,
take
risks
and
pursue
their
talents,
and
I
know
that
san
jose
is
just
spawning
as
a
spawning
ground
for
good
music
to
all
of
our
artists.
Thank
you
for
what
you
create
through
your
craft.
F
You
help
others
to
evoke
and
validate
their
emotions,
providing
comfort
that
we
are
not
the
only
ones
feeling
a
certain
way
and
that's
absolutely
important,
post
pandemic
and
during
pandemic.
So
I'm
going
to
share
with
you
a
video
from
tim
atlas
and
a
peek
at
the
music
video
for
his
single
tangerine.
G
Hello,
my
name
is
tim
atlas.
I
am
a
singer-songwriter
producer
currently
based
in
brooklyn
new
york,
and
I
grew
up
in
the
eastside
eastside
san
jose.
I
went
to
evergreen
valley,
high
school
and
yeah.
G
My
upbringing
was
a
lot
of
band
programs
like
marching
band
and
jazz
band
and
drumline,
and
things
like
that,
and
I
really
attribute
a
lot
of
the
things
that
I
do
today
to
those
resources
that
were
available
to
me
so
yeah
I
mean,
I
hope
for
any
san
jose
based
artists
or
young
people
looking
to
pursue
a
dream
that
they
continue
to
have
those
resources
and-
and
I
hope
they
know
that
it's
possible
to
to
do
something
that
you
love
as
a
career.
G
So
thank
you
to
council,
member
arenas,
mayor
lucardo
and
the
whole
san
jose
city
council
for
having
me
so
yeah
without
further
ado.
This
is
my
song.
It's
called
tangerine
and
it's
just
it's
just
a
love
song
and
I
hope
you
enjoy
so
thanks
again
and
have
a
good
day.
H
A

H
H
If
we
can
prevent
childhood
obesity,
we
have
a
greater
chance
of
developing
and
having
lifelong
healthy
habits.
I'm
very
happy
today
to
have
dr
allison
collins,
a
pediatrician
from
kaiser
permanente,
to
accept
the
proclamation
and
say
a
few
words
about
her
special
program
within
kaiser
that
addresses
childhood
obesity.
Welcome
dr
collins.
H
So
we
are
a
multi-disciplinary
team
with
a
pediatric
physical
therapist,
a
pediatric
nutritionist,
a
pediatric
psychologist,
a
pediatric
health
educator,
as
well
as
myself
as
a
physician,
and
we
have
innovative
ways
of
treating
our
kids
and
families.
We
started
our
program
11
years
ago
and
treat
hundreds
of
kids
every
year
and
we
do
innovative
things
like
teach,
children's
cooking
classes
to
the
kids
and
their
families.
H
We
also
do
interactive
movement
and
physical
activity
with
them,
as
well
as
address
behavior
changes
to
really
help
them
have
lifelong
sustainable,
healthy
habits.
However,
we
are
only
a
drop
in
the
bucket
to
really
address
the
childhood
obesity.
We
really
need
to
come
together
as
a
community.
We
need
to
include
both
cities
like
the
city
of
san
jose,
as
well
as
non-profits
and
for-profits
and
schools,
because
this
is
a
huge
issue.
H
Personally,
I
see
this
in
the
lives
with
my
kids.
I've
got
two
school-aged
kids
and
we
really
are
facing
a
very
difficult
environment.
Our
environment
is
very
obesiogenic,
meaning
what
is
out
there,
especially
in
terms
of
nutrition,
is
very
high
sugar,
high
fat,
no
nutrients
and
very
processed
foods
and
that's
the
norm
and
that's
what's
become
very
palatable
or
very
desired
by
kids,
for
example,
my
for
my
kids
for
snack,
which
they
hand
out
free
snack
to
all
kids.
H
Now
it
includes
things
like
cinnamon
rolls
chocolate,
croissants,
cinnamon,
toast,
crunch
cereal,
with
juice
on
the
side,
so
that
is
kind
of
our
current
state.
As
a
physician,
it's
very
challenging
working
in
my
heel
team.
It
now
has
become
apparent
that
it's
normal
practice
to
refer
kids
for
bariatric
surgery,
even
kids
as
young
as
10
years
old.
So
something
has
to
change.
This
is
not
normal.
We
need
a
new
norm,
so
we
really
need
to
come
together
as
a
community,
because
it's
not
just
healthcare
that
needs
to
address
this.
H
It's
everybody
in
our
community
and
we
really
need
a
partner
to
have
better
solutions
to
make
our
environment
easier
so
that
the
healthy
choice
is
the
easy
choice.
I
think
there's
some
glimmers
of
hope.
I've
been
in
meetings
recently,
where
I've
learned
about
community
organizations
that
are
trying
to
target
this.
I
learned
about
a
school
district:
that's
offering
healthy
cooking
classes
to
families
who
are
food
insecure
when
they
go
pick
up
their
food
box.
H
C
F
Wonderful
and
I'm
just
gonna
wait
for
all
of
the
beautiful
people
who
are
behind
me
make
just
some
wonderful
things
happen
for
our
family
and
for
our
children,
and
one
of
those
things
is
having
scholarships
for
camp
san
jose.
Is
that
if
anyone's
been
to
yosemite,
you
know
how
beautiful
and
just
inviting
it
is
for
all
of
us
and
the
people
behind
me?
F
Who
are
our
parks
and
recreation
neighborhood
services
department
that
you
may
all
know,
and
then
citizens,
equity,
first
credit
union,
but
through
a
lot
of
really
good
marketing,
they're
known
as
cue
and
they're,
a
financial
cooperative
that
serves
374
thousand
members
in
illinois
and
in
california,
and
what
they've
been
doing
is
serving
our
community
in
different
ways.
One
of
the
ways
that
they
did
they
provided
a
service
here
in
san
jose,
was
to
be
the
first
contribution
for
scholarships,
and
what
that
means
is
that
kids
were
able
to
go.
F
Kids
and
their
families
were
able
to
go
to
yosemite.
You
think
going
to
camping
sometimes
is
a
rather
affordable
thing.
But
when
you
think
about
this,
oh
I
see
somebody
shaking
their
head,
yeah,
their
sleeping
bags
and
the
tents
and
the
whatnots
that
provide
all
the
ease
and
convenience
of
of
camping.
It
really
adds
up,
and
so
what
they've
done
is
they
have
had
some
sponsorship
with
our
prns
programs
and
our
peerness
staff
is
so
wonderful
to
have
gone
out
and
engaged
cue
in
this
way.
F
So
I
know
that
they
are
true
to
their
values
in
2022,
piarin
has
distributed
more
than
1.7
million
in
scholarships,
and
so
that's
really
a
testament
to
the
great
need
that
exists
in
our
community
for
affordable
child
care.
F
In
my
community
we
have
welch
neighborhood
center
that
hadn't
been
open
for
many
many
years.
We
finally
got
that
open
with
the
assistance
of
our
prns
staff
and
and
the
council,
and
I'm
really
happy
and
proud
to
say
that
74
of
our
campers
were
on
scout
scholarship.
F
It
continues
to
be,
and
I'm
really
proud
of
all
of
the
programs
and
services
that
our
parks
and
rec
department
offer,
because
they
are
safe
and
loving
and
just
really
fun
ways
for
our
children
to
remain
safe.
I
myself
use
rock
program
for
my
kiddos
for
after
school,
so
I'm
also
a
believer.
F
We
want
to
extend
our
our
deepest
appreciation
and
we're
extremely
just
grateful
for
for
your
contributions
and
then
for
those
of
you
who
who
want
to
who
are
seeing
us
at
home
and
I'd
love
to
connect
with
sevq,
because
their
values
represent
yours
and
you'd
like
to
connect
with
them,
they're
located
on
the
safeway
on
capitol
and
tully
for
all
of
your
banking
needs
and
you'll
you'll
find
anita's
brimming
smile
there
as
well.
So
I'd
love
to
have
our
vice
mayor
present.
F
This
commendation
and
then
offer
our
cue
representatives
an
opportunity
to
say
a
few
words.
A
Thank
you,
council,
member
arenas
and
council
members,
as
well
as
the
mayor's
office
it
on
behalf
of
the
cu
team.
It
is
truly
an
honor
for
us
to
to
be
here
today,
so
we
we
appreciate,
and
thank
you
for
that,
that
that
opportunity
at
cefcu.
We
strongly
believe
in
in
truly
giving
back
to
the
communities
that
are
part
of
our
success
and
specifically
where
our
members
live
and
where
our
members
work.
A
Credit
unions
are
local,
community-based,
not-for-profit
financial
institutions
where
customers
or
members
credit
union
lingo
support
their
local
communities
when
they
choose
to
bank
at
a
credit
union.
So
they're
doing
business
with
us
allows
us
in
turn
to
give
back
to
organizations
such
as
this.
We
are
committed
to
our
communities.
A
We
are
honored
to
show
our
our
support
through
this
funding,
and
I
would
like
to
challenge
other
organizations
that
do
business
in
the
city
of
san
jose
to
look
for
ways
to
support
efforts
such
as
these,
either
monetarily
or
through
encouraging
team
members
through
give
back
through
volunteering
on
behalf
of
sevq.
Thank
you
for
allowing
us
once
again
to
be
a
part
of
yet
another
important
investment
in
the
community.
Thank
you.
J
Thank
you
peter.
My
name
is
john
cecilia,
I'm
the
director
of
parks
and
recreation.
I
do
want
to
thank
peter
and
his
team.
This
actually
isn't
the
first
time
they've,
given
us
funding
to
do
scholarships
so
that
kids
can
attend
summer
camps.
We've
been
in
partnership
with
him
since
2018.,
and
so
this
represents
that
ongoing
partnership
that
growing
partnership
that
we
have
to
help
children,
but
also
to
point
out
that
it
not
only
doesn't
just
help
children
go
to
summer
camp.
It
helps
their
parents,
some
parents
as
you'll
see.
J
We
have
a
video
in
a
moment
that
we're
gonna
show
you
it
helps
them
keep
a
job
or
go
to
a
job.
Some
parents,
like
me
when
my
child
was,
is,
was
growing
up
and
was
younger
going
to
summer
camp.
It
helps
to
keep
your
sanity,
but,
but
I
do
want
to
recognize
our
team,
both
here
there's
a
few
folks
here,
but
also
out
in
the
field.
We
served
over
16,
000
kids
through
our
summer
camps
this
summer.
So
it's
a
big
program.
J
It
has
a
lot
of
reach
and
it's
important
to
a
lot
of
them
and
what
you'll
hear
from
them
in
this
video,
real,
quick
you're,
actually
going
to
hear
from
some
of
the
kids
themselves
and
what
they
enjoy
about
these
camps.
But
I
do
want
to
repeat
what
peter
said,
which
is
you
know
that
challenge
you
know
we'd
love
to
see
more
help,
and
this
is
a
wonderful
way
to
give
back
to
your
community.
It
has
so
many
different
reasons
for
value
to
our
families,
to
our
parents
and
kids
alike.
N
She
does
like
it
because
there's
so
many
activities
here
go
on
board
trip
once
a
week
like
they
just
went
to
great
america
and
she
enjoyed
that
a
lot
and
the
skating
too.
A
A
J
C
E

have
some
special

E
Today
we
are

county,
as
well
as
warren
finch,
president

and
I'd
like
to
recognize
that
during
her

on
the
city
council,
vice

herrera
led
the
successful
effort
to

below

me
below
our
american

Here
at
city
hall,
the
united
veterans
council
of
santa
clara
county
has
served
our
veterans
here
in
san
jose
since
october
1922..
K
Thank
you,
councilmember
esparza.
We
all
really
appreciate
the
city
honoring
this
day
and
I
do
remember
back
in
2015
when
we
raised
the
flag
out
in
front
of
city
hall
and
hoped
to
do
that
again
outside
at
some
future
date.
All
of
the
veterans
that
came
forward
to
ask
for
that
flag
to
be
flown.
I
know
some
of
the
people
here
behind
me
right
now.
Remember
that
and
why
that
was
so
important
because,
as
council
member
esparza
said,
we
want
to
never
forget.
K
We
do
not
forget
those
who
went
before
us,
those
who
laid
down
their
lives,
those
who
are
still
out
there
yet
unaccounted
for
it's
our
commitment
to
always
remember
them,
and
it's
important
not
only
for
the
veterans
to
remember,
but
for
everyone
to
remember,
because
that
we
would
not
have
the
things
we
have
in
our
country
without
veterans
who
have
been
willing
to
put
their
lives
on
the
line
to
serve
our
country.
So
we
really
appreciate
your
acknowledgement
and
thank
you
very
much
for
honoring
our
veterans
and
those
who
gave
it
all
for
our
country.
J
It's
one
way
to
help
people
remember
that
there
are
still
people
missing.
In
fact,
our
namesake
darwin
j
thomas,
is
still
missing.
We
don't
know
the
exact
details
as
yet.
They
think
they
have
some
identified
an
area,
but
the
one
thing
that
vva
helps
do
not
just
for
vietnam
vets,
but
try
with
other
veterans,
is
to
push
the
national
organizations
to
try
to
identify
the
remains
and
help
the
families
get
some
recognition
of
what
happened
to
their
loved
ones.
J
J
C
C
I
Yes,
thank
you,
and
those
of
us
in
district
4
are
still
mourning
his
loss,
and
today
I
would
like
to
adjourn
the
meeting
in
his
memory.
We're
joined
online
by
members
of
his
family
and
other
members
of
the
community
who
were
touched
by
him
over
the
years.
John
was
born
in
new
york
in
october
of
1954
and
his
family
moved
to
sunnyvale,
where
he
attended,
homestead
high
school
and
went
on
to
graduate
from
san
jose
state
university
later
obtaining
his
master's
degree
in
business
administration.
I
He
worked
at
several
of
silicon
valley's
biggest
tech
companies,
including
hewlett-packard,
where
he
met
olivia
his
wife
of
41
years
john
became
a
member
and
eventually,
president
of
the
institute
for
supply
management.
The
organization
flourished
under
john's
leadership
and
his
passion
for
the
purchasing
industry
led
him
to
teach
about
it

a
great
community
leader
in
district

After
becoming
a
local
advocate
for
the
needs
of
his
penitentia
neighborhood,
he
realized
the
necessity
to
bring
people
together
and
create
a
neighborhood
association.
He
walked
door
to
door
through
his
entire
neighborhood,
recruiting
people
to
be
members
of

He
continued
to

help
improve
the
quality
of

john
leaves
a
lasting
legacy.
As
pna
continues
to
be
a
positive
force
in
berryessa,
as
a
council
member,
I
called
on
john
to
advise
others
on
how
to
start
neighborhood
associations
in
their
communities,
and
he
was
a
great
resource
for

John

also
a
serious

die-hard
fan

an
inspiring
community
leader

received
many
awards
and
accolades
for
his
decades
of
public
service.
He

be
remembered
for
his

C
O
Hi
here,
happy
september,
to
everyone
surprised,
there's
no
council
comment
on
consent.
Calendar
I
just
wanted
to.
I
guess,
there's
two
items
that
the
mayor
will
be
giving
lectures
on
the
east
coast
in
september
and
that
I
think,
will
be
kind
of
summing
up
his
experiences
as
mayor
of
san
diego.
I
mean
san
diego
of
san
jose
and
his
experiences.
O
What
he's
gone
through
and
and
can
describe
in
his
lectures
what
he's
gone
through
the
past
few
years?
I
it's
a
reminder
to
myself
that
with
him,
leaving
and
with
three
other
very
important
council
members
on
the
current
diocese
that
will
be
leaving
in
in
november
or
in
january.
O
Thank
you
for
all
of
their
good
work,
and
I
think
they
all
want
to
have
some
sort
of
continuing
legacy
of
the
things
that
they've
worked
on.
That
can
continue
into
the
future
of
san
jose.
O
Good
luck
in
what
those
things
can
be,
and
I
hope
we
can
talk
about
those
things
here.
I
would
like
to
talk
about
it
at
public
comment
time
in
the
next
few
months.
What
what
I
feel,
each
each
council
person
and
the
mayor
brought
to
the
process
and
what
their
continuing
legacy
can
be
I'll,
be
interested
in
sharing
that-
and
I
guess
I'll
start
with
council
person
carrasco
that
I
hope
she
can
really
get
across
the
goal
line:
elderly
care
issues
for
the
east
side
for
district
five.
O
For
instance,
you
know
computer
use
at
community
centers.
That's
been
a
really
important
point
for
her.
For
a
few
years
now-
and
I
hope
that
we
can
work
on
that-
this
fall
and
really
make
clear
how
they
can
have
the
same
practices
as
other
districts.
It's
been
important
to
her
good
luck
in
those
efforts
and
and
to
all
of
us
in
our
future.
C
Thank
you.
Next
is
item
3.1
report
of
the
city
manager.
P

Finally,
thank
you
to
the
city
managers,
office
of
racial
equity
and
local
partner
organizations
for
their
work
to
organize
events
throughout
this
week,
including
city
dance
on
this
thursday
evening
at
the
circle
of

in
downtown

virtual
programs.
In
collaboration
with
the

public
library,
culminating
at
viva
caye
this
sunday,
with
a
welcoming
hub
at
kelly
park
featuring
live
music
and
dance.
So
thank
you.
Q
My
name
is
siobhan
nuri,
I'm
the
independent
police
auditor.
We
will
be
presenting
our
annual
report
to
you
today.
First
of
all,
I'd
like
to
thank
my
staff,
which
have
been
amazing.
My
assistant
is
evaroa
at
the
office
are
vivian
doe
and
jessica.
Flores
with
me
today
are
two
new
hires
alex
jaboya
and
maxwell
nelson
and
then
I
do
need
to
thank
two
staff
that
left
my
office
this
year,
aaron
o'neill,
who
was
enticed
away
by
the
city
attorney.
Thank
you
norah
and.
Q
Q
The
report
was
finalized
and
we
then
met
with
internal
I'm
sorry.
We
met
with
the
chain
of
command.
Regarding
some
of
the
recommendations,
we
had
a
pretty
frank
discussion,
but,
as
you
can
see
from
the
department's
response,
they
have
agreed
to
implement
and
have
implemented
some
of
the
recommendations.
Q
Q
Q
Q
Q
Some
of
these
are
agreed
at
first
review
and
no
further
action
is
taken.
Some
of
them
are
sent
back
to
the
department
because
we
want
additional
things
done.
Generally,
that's
an
officer
interview,
I
would
say
in
the
vast
majority
of
cases
it's
we
want
an
officer
interview,
so
the
investigation
isn't
supporting
conclusions
that
you,
you
can't
ascertain
without
asking
the
officer
there's
back
and
forth.
We
appeal
sometimes
up
to
the
chief
and
sometimes
up
to
the
city
manager,
and
then
we
close
in
one
of
four
ways
again
agree
at
first
review.
Q
Q
We
were
tasked
by
the
police
reforms
work
plan
to
provide
a
summary
of
cases
closed
about
the
social
unrest,
complaints.
Six
cases
were
closed
and
described
in
our
last
year's
report.
Six
cases
have
closed
since
the
last
year's
report
and
they
are
described
in
the
report.
You
have
in
front
of
you
and
then
12
cases
are
told
due
to
civil
litigation,
either
in
state
or
federal
court.
Q
Q
Q
Q
Q
Q
Q
So
basically,
I
have
an
increased
confidence
in
the
investigation
process,
because
now
I'm
more
assured
that
the
subject
officers
that
need
to
be
looked
at
are
looked
at
and
the
allegations
that
need
to
be
looked
at
are
looked
at.
Q
Pretty
much
the
only
remaining
item
on
my
plate
for
the
police
reforms
work
plan
is
hiring
a
professional
to
look
at
whether
or
not
investigations
should
be
moved
out
of
internal
affairs
so
that
contract
has
been
signed.
That
consulted
is
on
the
ground,
he's
been
directed
to
talk
specifically
to
chain
of
command
police
officers,
district
attorney,
our
office
city
attorney,
other
oversight,
entities
past
and
present
ia
commanders
and
the
poa.
Q
So
hopefully
all
of
those
individuals
are
reaching
out
and
providing
their
thoughts.
Candid
thoughts
about
the
system,
so
this
wasn't
created
in
a
silo.
This
was
a
task
handed
to
me
by
the
police
reforms
work
plan,
the
the
rfp
was
drafted
with
help
from
the
city
attorney
city
manager
and
the
police
department,
and
we
had
member
of
the
police
department
on
the
evaluation
panel.
Q
Q
Q
The
department
has
provided
its
own
response
that
is
also
attached
to
4.1
and
I
think
all
of
them
are
moving
forward.
Fortunately,
I
was
mindful
that
they
have
about
405
recommendations
from
a
whole
host
of
other
entities,
so
I
was
mindful
to
make
sure
that
it
did
not
that
my
recommendations
did
not
entail
a
lot
of
cost
or
staffing.
Q
Q
C
Thank
you.
Go
ahead,
chief.
M
Thank
you
vice
mayor,
make
it
quick
here
just
want
to
thank
siobhan
and
her
staff
at
the
ipa
office.
For
for
this
report.
It
is
important
for
the
department
to
have
a
review
and
audit
process
of
the
services
that
we
provide
and
just
to
give
you
a
quick
background,
the
police
department
responded
or
responded
to
309
000
760
calls
for
service
in
2021,
resulting
in
15
497
arrests,
which
resulted
in
467
uses
of
force
incidents
and
that's
down
from
715
in
2020,
as
also
shown
in
the
ipa
report.
M
Our
force
complaints
have
also
decreased
in
that
year,
2020
21.,
so
the
number
of
complaints,
as
the
ipa
had
had
shown
in
the
report,
333,
some
of
which
are
unfounded
or
exonerated.
M
This
results,
based
on
the
calls
for
service
that
we
responded
to
is
0.089
percent
or
less
than
one
in
the
thousand
calls
for
service
result
in
a
complaint,
so
our
officers,
while
we
can
improve
our
officers,
are
doing
a
great
work
out
there
to
maintain
our
community
safe,
and
I
recognize
that
the
department
is
always
looking
for
a
ways
to
improve
our
service
delivery
and
to
correct
an
officer's
behavior.
M
As
has
been
indicated
in
the
recommendations
that
we
are
agreeing
to
implement
here
in
the
coming
years,
so
with
that,
we're
also
open
to
any
questions.
B
Yes,
paul
soto
from
the
horseshoe.
Thank
you
for
that
report.
What
what
picked
my
curiosity
is
the
fact
there
was
only
one
case
of
bias:
okay,
that
facebook
page
that
facebook
page
that
we
found
okay
had
new.
I
mean
these
this.
These.
These
cops
were
saying
that
we
should
make
nooses
out
of
the
hijabs
for
muslims.
B
So
that's
not
accurate.
What
it
means
is
is
that
the
bureaucracy
is
so
clogged,
and
it's
so
convoluted
that
we're
not
able
to
root
out
the
cops
that
don't
need
to
be
wearing
that
badge
when
that
officer
is
called.
I
want
to
make
sure
that
this
officer
has
a
degree
of
integrity
and
he
understands
what
his
role
is
in
society
and
it's
not
to
come
and
bum
rush.
Somebody
and
it's
not
come
or
or
the
means
by
which
he
exercises
power
to
project
that
onto
the
citizenry.
B
The
other
thing
is
is
that
the
police
auditor
has
no
subpoena
power.
There
is
absolutely
no
subpoena
power
and
any
entity
that
exercises
power
in
a
society
must
welcome,
actually
welcome
a
check
on
power,
and
that
is
one
of
the
reasons
why
I
respected
chief
mata,
because
chief
mata
stated
very
clearly
and
explicitly
is
that
I
welcome
you.
Sb
1421
will
be
applied
under
my
administration
that
will
be
applied.
What
is
that?
B
It
is
a
check
on
people's
power
because
they
don't
get
to
just
do
whatever
it
is
that
they
want
to
do
to
the
citizens,
and
we
don't
have
any
power
to
exercise
against
them,
because
we're
poor
we're
from
we're
from
neighborhoods.
They
aren't
going
to
be
listened
to
or
we
generationally
started
getting
locked
up
back
in
the
80s
and
90s
and
we're
we're
not
going
to
be
believed.
It's
going
to
be
their
word
against
ours.
So
thank
you
for
the
report.
Thank
you
for
the
work
you're
doing.
N
Yes,
thank
you
very
much.
My
name
is
catherine
hedges,
I'm
with
showing
up
for
racial
justice,
and
I
agree
with
the
previous
comments,
and
I
think
it's
just
I
don't
know.
I
have
a
hard
time
believing
that
so
many
complaints
by
the
public
were
completely
unfounded,
and
these
numbers
just
don't
make
sense
to
me,
and
it's
ridiculous-
that
there's
no
subpoena
power
and
that
only
cases
that
have
already
been
reviewed
by
the
police
can
be
reviewed
by
the
ipa
we
need
to
reform
our
policies.
Thank
you
very
much.
N
N
I
was
surprised
at
the
number
of
repeat
of
officers
with
repeat
complaints
and
concerned
that
people
who
have
multiple
complaints
about
how
they're
doing
their
job,
regardless
of
whether
they're,
founded
or
unfounded,
remain
in
that
position.
I
think
in
most
professions,
if
you
receive
a
complaint
from
your
customer
that
over,
if
you
have
multiple
complaints,
you
are
no
longer
allowed
to
perform
in
that
job.
So
I'm
a
little
bit
concerned
about
that.
N
I
do
think
that
the
investigation
on
bias
that
did
show
that
bias
is
underreported
and
that
the
process
for
investigating
bias
within
the
department
needs
to
be
re
rethought
and
I
yield
the
rest
of
my
time.
Thank
you.
C
Thank
you
and
siobhan
again,
thank
you
for
that
report
and
all
the
work
that
you
do.
I
mean
you
had
so
many
plates
that
you
had
in
the
air
that
you
were
juggling
and
I
didn't
hear
any
breaking,
so
you
know
great
job.
I
have
a
question
and
that
is
in
terms
of
bias-based
policing.
Q
It's
a
good
question:
I've
I've,
not
I've,
not
thought
about
it
before,
but
in
terms
of
buy
space
policing
we
get
a
fair
number
based
on
traffic,
stops
mostly
people,
thinking
that
the
officer
is
pulling
them
over
and
or
then
conducting
a
search
of
the
car
or
the
person
because
of
their
race.
Q
Q
Q
Unfortunately,
that
data
set
is
now
down
due
to
some
issues
having
to
do
with
concealed
weapon,
permit
information
being
somehow
leaked
onto
that
site,
but
I
will
think
about
it
and
get
back
to
you.
If
you
don't
mind.
C
So
actually
I
want
to
direct
the
same
question
to
the
chief
or
someone
from
your
your
staff
chief,
in
terms
of
when
you
have
an
officer,
that's
out
on
patrol
and
he's
engaged
in
proactive
policing,
how
trying
to
figure
out
the
best
way
to
ask
this
question:
how
do
you
judge
or
the
department
judges
whether
that
stop
was
a
bias,
stop
versus
just
that
officer
being
engaged
in
very
proactive
policing,
which
is
what
you
want
our
police
officers
to
do.
M
Thank
you
vice
mayor,
so
the
department
has
several
policies
on
by
space
policing
and
also
not
to
discriminate
against
our
residents,
and
it's
important
to
understand
that
the
officers
that
are
patrolling
in
the
area
have
received
for
information
from
either
the
citizens
or
a
crime
that
has
been
committed.
M
Once
we
determine
that
an
officer's
misconduct
rises
to
a
level
of
looking
into
bias,
then
that's
what
we
this
we
look
into,
but
again
it's
based
on
the
reason
for
the
stop
how
they
stopped
what
their
contact
was
during
desktop
to
determine
if
any
bias
was
involved
in
the
contact
and
the
contact
that
the
officer
made
with
with
our
resident
or
with
the
with
the
citizen,
and
if
it
rises
to
that
level,
it
would
be
investigated,
as
the
ipa
mentioned.
M
Mostly,
these
are
complaints
from
citizens
that
call
in
and
perceive
that
they
were
stopped
based
on
bias
and
I'll
have
lieutenant.
Donohue.
Add
to
that,
since
it
looks
at
the
ripa
data
as
well.
L
Thank
you
councilmember,
so
it's
a
challenging
threshold
to
cross
when
you're
looking
at
bias-based
policing
right,
you
have
to
be
able
to
articulate
that
the
actions
the
officer
took
were
based
on
bias.
They
stopped
that
person
based
on
bias.
They
searched
the
car
based
on
bias,
whatever
it
may
be.
L
So
in
2021
we
received
122
allegations
of
bias-based
policing.
Now
that's
122,
let's
say
separate
people
saying
hey.
I
think
you
stopped
me
because
of
this.
Whatever
the
protected
class
was
for,
that
would
qualify
for
the
bias
every
one
of
those
was
investigated
and
every
one
of
them
was
closed
as
exonerated
unfounded.
What
have
you
not
sustained?
L
L
Looking
at
bodywork
camera
video
they're,
looking
at
witness
statements,
they're
looking
at
actions
preceding
the
stop
they're
looking
at
the
actions
following
the
stop
and
from
this
complete
picture,
they're
able
to
say
okay,
that
officer
did
that
action
made
the
stop
or
the
search
based
on
probable
cause
or
reasonable
suspicion
or
the
actions
of
the
subject
who
was
stopped
not
because
of
a
protected
class
or
being
part
of
a
protected
class.
So
the
the
trigger
for
us
it's
it's
kind
of
like
a
a
bright
line,
but
it's
not
easy
to
articulate.
L
So
I
it's
a
challenging
question
right,
but
when
an
officer
behaves
in
a
manner
that
indicates
they're
doing
something
based
on
a
perception
of
a
protected
class,
that's
going
to
be
a
sustained
bias-based
policing
complaint
which
we've
done
right.
We've
had
sustained
biospace,
policing,
complaints,
it's
just
in
2021,
we
didn't
have
any
than
we
have
before.
So.
To
answer
your
question,
that's
kind
of
a
long
drawn
out
way
of
doing
it.
I
hope
it
answered
your
question
adequately,
but
yeah.
It's
it's
something
that
we're
we
take
very
seriously.
We
do
not.
L
C
No,
it
definitely
answers
my
question.
It's
the
totality
of
the
interaction
and
not
just
one
part
of
it,
but
the
whole
interaction.
Last
question
and
I've
talked
to
some
of
my
counterparts
in
other
large
cities,
and
one
of
the
issues
that
they're
facing
is
that
their
police
officers
are
not
engaging
in
proactive
policing.
C
Is
there
is
there
a
tipping
point
in
terms
of
the
type
of
controls
or
policies
or
rules
that
we
want
to
implement
because
obviously
no
one
wants
to
see
bias-based
policing?
Nobody
wants
to
see.
You
know
our
citizens,
you
know,
harassed
or
or
judged,
based
on
you
know
the
colors
of
skin
or
other
other
features,
but
at
the
same
time
we
don't
want
the
police
to
not
want
to
be
out
there
enforcing
the
law
and
engaging
in
proactive
policing.
Q
So
vice
mayor,
are
you
asking
at
a
certain
point,
does
the
duty
manual
get
too
large
such
that
officers
back
away
from
being
proactive?
That's.
C
Q
Q
M
Thank
you
vice
mayor.
Yes,
I
agree
with
siobhan
that
our
duty
manual
is
large,
but
despite
that,
our
officers
are
doing
a
good
job,
keeping
our
communities
safe.
M
One
of
the
things
that
I
have
mentioned
is
currently
are
based
on
the
information
like
I
mentioned
before,
that
they
work
off
of
whether
it
be
citizen,
information
or
prior
crimes
reports
things
of
that
nature,
our
homicide
rate
is
our
detectives
have
solved
close
to
100
percent
or,
I
think,
100,
of
their
cases
this
year.
So
again,
they
work
in
collaboration
with
the
community
to
receive
information.
M
In
addition,
the
current
seizures
of
firearms
are
high
during
the
last
two
years.
I
think
we've
seized
close
to
450
firearms
this
year
and
I
think
five
over
500
last
year.
So
again,
despite
what's
in
the
duty
manual,
the
officers
work
within
the
law
for
the
most
part
to
ensure
that
the
bias
is
not
present
when
they
conduct
provide
that
service
delivery.
C
So
this
this
can
either
go
to
the
chief
or
siobhan
I
mean
so
what
I'm
hearing
we're
still
in
a
relatively
good
space
in
terms
of
doing
what
we
need
to
do
to
hold
officers
accountable,
make
sure
that
you
know
we
don't
have
bias-based
stops
and
encounters,
but
at
the
same
time
our
officers
are
still
engaged
in
proactive
policing,
they're
still
motivated
to
go
out,
and
you
know,
stop
crime
and
solve
crime.
It's
is
that
what
I'm
hearing
or
is
there
another
interpretation.
Q
I
mean
if,
if
you
have
a
case
where
an
officer
is
saying
that
he's
documented
everything,
but
when
you
look
at
the
documents
it's
not
reflected
in
them,
I
think
you
have
an
issue
when
an
officer
says
that
somebody's
hiding
a
weapon
in
their
clothing
but
they're
naked.
I
think
you
have
an
issue
with
you
know,
rationale
and
reasonableness,
and
so
you
know
I
I
I
think
we'll
have
to
see
what
the
consultant
says
in
terms
of
improving
internal
affairs,
because
some
of
those
areas
need
improvement
in
terms
of
bias-based
policing.
Q
I
agree
it's
exceedingly
difficult.
As
the
lieutenant
said,
it's
very
challenging
and
we've
only
had
one
sustained
complaint
on
biased
over
the
past
14
years
we
have
had
two
complaints
sustained
on
disability.
Q
It's
it's
hard
to
prove,
but
at
a
certain
point
it
it.
You
might
see
like
a
greater
number
of
not
sustained,
where
there's
some
evidence,
but
not
sufficient
to
make
a
finding
of
sustained.
R
R
You
know
we
we've
been
talking
a
lot
with
3-1-1
about
getting
away
from
just
reacting
to
being
complaint
based
and
actually
identifying
patterns
and
needs
and
and
being
more
proactive,
and
so
that,
as
I
was
reflecting
on
that,
I
was
thinking,
do
we
do
we
have
do
you
have
access
to
data
on
a
per
officer
basis
that
would
allow
you
to
identify
outliers
in
terms
of
things
like
use
of
force.
That
would
allow
you,
maybe
prior
to
a
complaint,
to
be
able
to
do
some
investigation
or
maybe
get
somebody
some
additional
training.
R
M
Yes,
we're
the
process
right
now
of
developing
the
early
warning
system,
which
gathers
several
pieces
of
data,
not
only
calls
for
service
arrests,
complaints,
things
of
that
that
nature
to
identify
at
the
officer
level,
officer
performance,
that's
something
that
we're
working
on
and
we
look
forward
to
to
using.
M
In
addition
to
that
that
that
program,
we're
also
looking
into
to
see
how
we
can
use
that
data
by
developing
a
unit,
a
risk
management
unit.
That
would
take
a
look
at
that
data
because,
as
has
been
alluded
to
ipa,
the
ia
is
the
ia
unit
is
busy
with
their
investigation.
So
we
need
a
separate
entity
that
will
take
a
look
at
that
data
specifically,
so
we
can
identify
those
officers
and
provide
training
intervention
right
now.
What
we
do
have
is
an
intervention
counseling
where
officers
if
they
have
three
or
more
complaints.
M
Their
supervisor,
along
with
internal
affairs,
speaks
with
those
officers
to
determine
you
know
what
what's
going
on,
but
we
need
to
get
more
into
the
weeds
as
to
what's
going
on,
so
we
can
prevent
further
complaints.
Great.
R
Yeah,
it
sounds
really
promising
to
me.
I
don't
think,
there's
any
perfect
system,
but,
as
I
was
hearing
the
description
of
how
hard
it
is
to
identify
on
an
individual
instance
what
happened
in
that
moment,
it
seems
to
me
that
when
you
look
across
thousands
of
interactions
and
you
can
identify
patterns
of
bias,
that
might
actually
be
more
productive
than
just
isolating
the
individual
complaints
or
incidents.
So
I
think
it's
promising.
I'm
sure
it
will
not
solve
all
of
our
challenges,
but
is
an
interesting
approach
and
then
what
is
the
timeline?
R
M
I
think
we're
in
the
phase
of
gathering
the
data
we
have
some
data
in
in
the
system
that
we're
taking
a
look
at
so
it's
up
and
running
we're
just
looking
at
how
to
use
it
and
then
again
the
resources
that
will
allow
us
to
look
at
that
data.
Okay,.
P
But
I
know
the
the
that
the
assistant
city
manager
is
overseeing
that
now
for
me
and
and
the
police
department's
been
working
on
it
for
quite
a
while
for
for
and
and
they've
been
very
engaged
on,
and
there
was
a
related
recommendation
if
I
recall
siobhan
for
one
of
it
from
2018,
there
was
an
independent
police
auditor
recommendation
that
was
related
to
this.
That
you
had.
Let
me
know
about
so
something
that's
really
important
for
us.
R
Great
excellent,
thank
you
and
then
truman
just
curious
as
you're
conducting
your
investigations.
Have
you,
just
as
you
reflect
on
the
past
year,
had
any
trouble
with
the
availability
or
timeliness
of
access
to
documents
or
personnel,
or
is
that
I
know
that
there
had
been
recall
that
coming
up
in
the
past
as
an
area
for
potential
improvement,
so
just
curious
what
your
experience
has
been.
Q
Thank
you,
council,
member
first,
we
don't
investigate,
though,
so
we
audit
investigations.
Q
Yes,
yeah,
it's
a
it's
a
distinction,
that's
worth
mentioning
yes,
so
some
of
the
complaints
were
closed
in
an
untimely
manner.
Some
of
those
are
outlined
in
the
social
unrest
cases
where,
due
to
tolling
issues,
we
either
got
them
days
before
the
365
ended
or
even
after
the
365
day
deadline.
So
that's
of
concern.
Q
So
there's
been
a
healthy
back
and
forth
about
whether
or
not
they
will
provide
it
for
us
that
conversation
is
has
been
happening
for
a
while,
and
I
think
it
will
continue
into
the
future.
Q
Yeah,
it's
pretty
much
just
recorded
for
posterity
and
trends.
I
think
the
only
person
who
could
move
it
forward
would
be
the
complainant
themselves
and
they
could
move
it
up
to
the
department
of
justice,
the
department
of
justice.
Rarely
if
ever
will
take
a
complaint.
That's
already
been
investigated
by
the
local
law
enforcement
agency.
R
Got
it
okay,
thank
you
and
thanks
again
for
the
for
the
report.
Vice
mayor,
if
you'd
like,
I
can
move
I'll
move,
the
report
move
acceptance
of
the
report.
C
K
K
I
just
want
to
thank
siobhan
and
certainly
the
chief
for
the
response.
As
I
was
going
through
your
report
siobhan,
I
was
increasingly
concerned
with
some
of
the
stuff
I
was
saying,
but
I
was
glad
to
see
that
in
the
chief's
response
the
police
department's
response
that
a
lot
of
that
was
addressed
and
so
very
much
appreciate
that
one
of
the
things
that
stood
out
to
me,
as
I
was
going
through
the
report
siobhan-
is
that
I
think
it's.
K
I
don't
remember
the
exact
number,
but
there
were
several
instances
in
which
you
comment
in
some
of
the
what
you
shared
with
us,
that
one
of
the
critical
things
that
was
missing
is
the
interviewing
of
the
officer
in
question
during
the
course
of
some
of
these
specific
investigations,
and-
and
and
with
that
in
mind-
I
guess
I'm
wondering
I
know
that
the
way
the
police
department
of
the
chief's
office
sort
of
responded
to
the
to
the
your
report
was
a
little
different
than
the
way
you
laid
it
out.
K
K
That
seems
to
me
is
missing
at
times,
and
that
is
being
more
purposeful
about
having
ia
interview
the
police
officer
in
question,
because
in
some
of
the
cases
you
you
mentioned,
it
just
seemed
interesting
to
me
that
that
was
never
done
right
and
maybe
in
some
instances
that
they
went
back
and
did
it
after
the
fact.
But
that
seems
to
me
a
basic
thing
that
should
be
done
right
at
the
outset.
K
It
seems
to
me
and
curious
if
you,
if
you
think
that
that's
adequately
addressed
in
some
of
the
some
of
what
the
police
department
put
forward
as
things
are
going
to
be
working
on.
K
Q
Officer
are
interviewed
has
been
a
matter
of
discussion
for
many
years.
There
are
some
cases
in
which
officers
don't
need
to
be
interviewed.
The
body-worn
camera
adequately
addresses
the
alleged
allegation
to
a
preponderance
of
evidence
standard.
We
don't
need
officers
interviewed
to
take
them
off
the
patrol
and
to
have
their
poa
officers
come
and
sit
down.
So
there
are
a
fair
number
of
cases
where
we
don't
need
interviews.
There
are
some
interviews
that
need
to
be
done
and
aren't
some
of
these.
We
ask
the
department
to
do.
Q
So
you
know
we
try
early
on
to
identify
those
cases
where
we
want
officer
interviews
and
just
engage
in
dialogue
with
the
with
the
iaea
lieutenant.
K
K
Are.
Is
there
a
way
to
formulate
some
standards
in
which
you
know
an
investigation
begins?
There's
a
complaint
filed
by
ipa
and
in
the
circumstance
in
which
an
officer
should
be
interviewed.
They're
interviewed,
I
guess
I'm
trying
to
understand
how
it's
decided
when
the
officer
in
question
is
interviewed
or
when
they're
not
to
prevent
some
of
this
tension.
If
you
will
that
occurs
during
the
course
of
some
of
these
investigations,.
Q
Well,
in
my
experience,
usually
an
officer
is
interviewed
if
the
body,
worn
camera
and
or
the
statements
in
the
documents
fail
to
provide
sufficient
evidence
to
make
a
finding.
Q
So
if
an
officer,
let's
say
well,
for
instance,
if
you're
talking
about
an
officer's
intentions,
which
can
be
important
to
a
whole
number
of
allegations,
particularly
the
reasons
for
search
and
bias-based
policing,
those
types
of
that
type
of
evidence
is
usually
not
obtained
through
documents
or
body
one
camera,
and
in
that
instance,
you
would
need
to
interview
the
officer
so
you're
not
making
assumptions,
because
assumptions,
as
you
know,
is,
is
not
a
good
evidentiary
basis.
K
Q
M
Sure,
council,
member
I'll,
add
that,
like
any
investigation,
as
the
ipa
had
mentioned,
that
we
either
interview
or
do
not
interview
based
on
the
evidence,
but
normally
when
an
officer
is
being
brought
in,
is
to
clarify
either
their
their
stating
the
report
or
their
body.
One
camera
to
see
clarity
and
also
to
ask
any
other
additional
information.
M
Now
when
an
officer
is
brought
in,
not
only
are
the
ia
investigators
asking
questions,
but
the
ipa
is
also
advised
of
the
officer
being
interviewed
and
they
have
the
opportunity
to
come
in
and
ask
questions
as
well
for
for
clarity
and
any
additional
information
based
on
the
listed
allegations.
M
Again,
those
those
circumstances
that
were
briefly
stated
earlier
is
that
when
we
don't
have
when
we
have
an
additional
allegation
that
the
officer
was
not
advised
of
that,
that
becomes
problematic,
because
we
could
not
ask
questions
on
that.
A
new
allegation,
the
officer
needs
to
be
advised
of
of
an
additional
allegation,
and
then,
before
we
ask
additional
questions,
I
think
that's
where
we
run
into
the
timing
of
questioning
or
whether
we
ask
additional
questions
or
bring
in
additional
officers
for
those
if
they
weren't
advised.
K
And
chief,
just
just
one
last
question,
for
you
is
that,
and
that
is
in
the
response
to
siobhan's
report.
It
was
broken
down.
You
know,
as
far
as
all
the
you
guys
broke
down
and
more
sort
of.
Q
K
Into
the
minutia
of
separating
out
some
of
the
her
recommendations
and
listing
them
off
on
things
that
you've
already
done
things
that
are
in
process
and
things
that
you're
going
to
be
doing
later,
how
do
you
envision
that
coming
back
to
us?
Does
that
come
back
to
public
safety
committee,
or
is
that
I
mean
where
were
we?
Where
would
we
see
the
the
the
work
on
those
items
sort
of
surface
again,
if
you
will,
and
that
can
be
a
question
for
the
city
manager
as
well?
I
don't
I'm
curious.
L
Big
council
member,
it's
steve
donahue
from
research
and
development.
So
what
we're
going
to
be
doing
here
is
in
november.
I
believe
it's
scheduled
for
us
to
come
back
with
all
of
the
recommendations
our
department's
received
over
the
last
couple
years,
and
then
this
is
these
36
are
folded
into
that
list,
we're
somewhere
around
444
in
my
last
count,
but
we're
we're
we're
trying
to
knock
out
some
of
the
duplicates
and
things
like
that.
L
For
this
particular
report.
You've
got
the
22
that
we
already
completed
in
here.
That
gives
us
five
that
are
still
in
process
and
nine
that
we
agree
with
for
some
future
implementation
and
that'll
be
reported
back
regularly
to
the
council.
L
I
don't
know
if
the
council
is
going
to
schedule
it
in
in
standard
council
session
or
if
it's
going
to
go
to
pispis,
but
that'll
be
decided
at
the
council
meeting
in
november.
K
Okay,
thank
you
so
much,
and
I
know
that
you
guys
are
working
on
a
lot
given
many
of
the
recommendations
that
have
surfaced
in
many
different
areas,
but
I
think
you
know,
at
least
in
my
mind,
that
this
stuff's
super
important,
it's
something
that's
very
front
and
center
of
what
we
continue
to
hear
in
the
community,
and
so
I
appreciate
your
efforts
to
to
chipping
away
at
the
big
iceberg.
That
is
this:
the
issues
around
accountability
and
oversight.
So
I
I
just
want
to
express
my
appreciation.
Thank
you.
A
M
Just
switching
some
chairs
here
vice
mayor,
but
this
will
be
the
14th
department-initiated
investigation
report
that
we
will
present
to
you
with
me.
I
have
former
ia
commander
captain
jaime
jimenez
and
current
ia
commander
max
suniga
to
present
this
report
so
I'll
pass
it
over
to
captain
jimenez
for
the
presentation,
which
will
be
a
verbal
presentation.
S
Thank
you
chief
mata
good
afternoon
city
manager,
mcguire
vice
mayor
chappie,
jones,
mark
freeman
and
all
the
council
members
and
everybody
in
attendance.
Thank
you
to
the
ipa
and
her
staff
for
her
report.
We
really
appreciate
it.
My
name
is
jaime
jimenez.
As
the
chief
said,
I
am
the
former
commander
of
the
internal
affairs
unit.
The
san
jose
police
department,
again
here
with
us,
is
lieutenant
max
zuniga,
who
is
the
current
ia
lieutenant
and
I'm
here
to
present
the
internal
affairs
department
initiated
investigations
report
for
the
2021
calendar
year.
S
This
is
the
14th
dii
report
issued
by
the
department.
The
report
includes
administrative
investigations
of
potential
misconduct.
This
report
differs
from
the
ipa's
report
and
that
involves
both
sworn
and
non-sworn
employees.
To
begin
with,
I'd
like
to
explain
the
distinction
between
a
conduct
complaint
and
what
we
call
a
dii
or
a
department-initiated
investigation.
S
When
a
member
of
the
community
files
a
complaint
against
a
department
member
and
is
determined
to
be
potential
misconduct,
the
complaint
will
be
classified
as
a
conduct
complaint.
The
initial
investigation
must
determine
whether
the
facts
stated
in
the
complaint
are
such
that,
if
sustained
would
amount
to
the
potential
violation
of
department
or
city
policy.
S
S
As
a
reminder,
I'd
like
to
discuss
some
historical
changes
to
the
dii
process
in
the
past,
an
existing
dii
would
be
reclassified
as
a
conduct
complaint.
If
the
complaint
was
received
by
a
member
of
the
community,
when
the
case
was
transitioned
to
a
conduct
complaint,
the
ipa
was
notified
and
may
have
elected
to
audit
the
investigation.
S
S
Excluding
this
single
investigation,
the
year-end
totals
would
reduce
to
29
sworn
employees
with
62
allegations,
which
is
consistent
with
this
year's
statistics
or
last
year's
statistics
in
2021
of
32,
smaller
members
involving
72
allegations,
and
I
apologize
a
lot
of
information.
But
it's
all
found
in
the
memorandum
in
2021.
Also,
the
department
completed
33
investigations,
which
contained
77
allegations
against
32
officers
of
the
33
investigations,
20
investigations
or
61
percent
were
sustained
and
of
the
77
allegations
in
those
33
investigations.
S
50
or
65
percent
had
a
sustained
finding,
which
just
goes
to
point
out
that
have
high
sustained
rates,
usually
in
the
60
percentile
in
2021.
At
least
the
most
common
allegations
in
2021
for
sworn
officers
was
procedure
followed
by
conduct
on
becoming
an
officer.
This
trend
is
consistent
with
the
previous
four
years
between
2017
to
2020..
S
C
Thank
you.
We
will
now
go
to
public
comments.
B
B
B
O
Hi
claire
beekman
here
thanks
a
lot
for
the
words
of
paul
soto
of
his
previous
public
comment.
This
is
a
tradition
each
year
in
san
jose.
We
have
the
ipa
annual
report
and
then
the
police
internal
investigations
report
together
each
year
this
year
in
the
give-and-take
of
police
relations.
O
The
peer
review
programs
that
have
been
developing
in
san
jose
for
domestic
violence
for
the
vta
can
all
really
be
applied
for
the
needs
of
internal
investigation
issues
and
make
the
process
safer
and
more
comfortable
for
everyone,
and
that
translates
to
a
more
safer
and
comfortable
community
practices
as
well,
because
the
goal
here
is
really
you
know.
In
the
give-and-take
of
the
past
few
years,
we
really
have
to
work
on
the
concepts
of
reimagine
and
we
are
really
headed
towards
an
important
future
of
lessening
the
prison
military
industrial
complex.
O
N
N
I'd
also
like
to
add
my
concerns
about
officers
are
still
responding
improperly
to
mental
health
calls
even
the
one
you
know,
despite
all
their
cit
training,
and
it's
essential
that
we
have
a
separate
number
so
that
people
can
call
trust
instead
of
calling
911
or
988
and
having
police
sent
to
you
know
intervene
with
their
loved
one
who's,
having
your
crisis
or
themselves
that
they're
having
a
crisis.
C
All
right,
I
don't
see
any
hands
raised
or
names
on
my
speaker
list,
so
I'll
entertain
a
motion.
A
C
L
Yeah,
thank
you
and
good
afternoon.
My
name
is
lieutenant
steve
donahue,
I'm
the
commander
of
the
research
and
development
unit,
the
san
jose
police
department
today
I'll
be
presenting
a
recommendation
on
a
process
for
random
audits
of
officer,
worn
body
camera
footage
as
a
general
overview.
We
are
asking
the
council
to
accept
the
report
and
implement
compliance
auditing.
L
L
Now
our
department
currently
does
a
form
of
compliance
auditing,
but
on
a
small
scale
we
produce
a
quarterly
report
that
looks
at
activations
and
event
numbers.
It
does
not
look
at
power,
cycling,
upload
times
and
file
tagging.
It
also
only
looks
to
see
if
there
is
a
single
body,
worn
camera
video
assigned
to
each
event
number.
It
doesn't
look
at
how
many
videos
are
attached
or
whether
or
not
every
officer
on
the
event
activated
their
body
camera
and
did
it
correctly.
L
If
the
council
approves
our
recommendation
to
implement
auditing,
we'll
have
more
accountability
on
the
use
of
body
cameras,
we
will
have
better
file
association
to
event
types
and
event
numbers
and
we'll
have
evidence
more
readily
accessible
for
our
investigations
to
begin
compliance
auditing.
All
we
need
to
do
here
is
hire
one
senior
analyst.
L
The
analyst
is
going
to
be
responsible
for
administering
the
system,
developing
training
relevant
to
that
body
of
camera
system
and
the
auditing
process,
conducting
the
compliance
audits
and
producing
compliance
reports
for
the
department
we
already
own,
the
software
necessary
for
compliance
auditing.
Now
all
we
need
is
the
go
ahead
to
hire
the
senior
analyst
to
begin
the
program.
L
So
I'm
going
to
change
gears
here
and
talk
a
little
bit
about
performance
auditing.
You,
like
my
gears,
yeah,
it's
a
big
indicator.
We're
changing
gears
all
right,
so
I'm
going
to
change
gears,
we're
going
to
talk
about
performance
auditing
now
our
department
research,
both
compliance
and
performance
auditing
at
seven
agencies
nationwide,
and
we
do
not
recommend
moving
forward
with
performance
auditing
at
this
time
due
to
its
high
cost
and
staffing
needs.
However,
it
may
be
considered
in
a
future
budget
process
in
the
context
of
the
city's
overall
fiscal
condition
and
department
and
city
priorities.
L
L
Now
from
performance
auditing,
we
get
three
big
takeaways.
First,
we
can
see
opportunities
to
provide
training,
whether
it's
about
consistency
and
tactics
or
interactions
with
the
public
being
on
a
fly
on
a
wall
gives
us
the
ability
to
see
these
officers
actions
from
the
outside.
In
second,
we
can
evaluate
our
officers
wellness.
We
can
see
when
they're,
tired
or
they're
exasperated
they're,
responding
emotionally
to
events,
and
we
can
take
actions
to
ensure
our
department.
L
L
L
Every
six
months
and
again
it's
relevant
to
establishing
a
pattern
of
behavior
length
is
going
to
be
how
long
we
want
the
videos
to
be
do
we
want
them
to
watch
a
minimum
of
a
half
hour,
video
two
hours
of
video
one
hour?
How?
How
long
should
they
watch
each
one
and
span
of
control
is
how
many
officers,
videos
that
we
want
watched
so
smaller
districts
have
fewer
officers,
making
it
easier
for
supervisors
to
watch
their
number
of
officers,
but
larger
districts
with
more
officers
will
take
more
time.
L
The
problem
is
that
we
already
ask
a
lot
of
our
supervisors.
We
expect
them
to
be
in
the
field
supervising
and
actively
participating
in
investigations.
We
give
them
collateral
duties
and
assignments
such
as
briefing
and
roll
call.
We
expect
them
to
participate
in
community
policing
events
and
community
meetings.
L
We
expect
them
to
have
open
transparent
communication
with
the
public
and
the
rank
and
file
in
the
department
and
to
do
this
means
having
meetings
with
both
their
supervisors
and
their
subordinates,
which
takes
time,
and
we
expect
supervisors
to
provide
informal
trainings
to
their
teams
to
keep
everyone
on
the
same
page.
Keep
them
practiced
and
ready
to
respond
to
any
type
of
incident
reported
to
the
police,
and
finally,
we
expect
our
supervisors
to
provide
conflict
resolution.
This
is
both
between
the
department
and
the
public,
as
well
as
internally
within
the
department.
L
This
would
provide
an
unbiased,
neutral
staff
to
review
the
videos
and
it
would
allow
supervisors
to
remain
with
their
teams,
but
it's
a
big
cost
to
create
a
unit.
The
second
is
supervisor
auditing.
Now,
to
do
this
one,
we
would
need
to
completely
fill
the
sergeant
rank
by
hiring
at
least
six
sergeants.
L
L
Also,
there's
a
concern
that
relationships
between
the
sergeants
and
the
officers
could
influence
those
reviews
and
it
would
cost
a
lot
because
we'd
have
to
hire
six
sergeants
to
do
the
supervisor
auditing.
It
would
also
cost
approximately
492
000
in
overtime
to
get
it
up
and
running
until
it
could
be
fully
implemented.
L
So
the
third
policy
alternative
is
using
an
automated
software
and
much
of
what
the
software
would
do
is
already
going
to
be
covered
by
our
compliance
auditing.
So
the
software
does
have
the
ability
to
listen
and
I'm
using
quotation.
Fingers
here,
listen
to
the
video
to
see
if
people
are
using
expletives,
for
example.
However,
the
software
can't
differentiate,
who
said
the
expletive
it
it
could
have
been
the
public.
It
could
have
been
the
officers
it
could
have
been
another
officer.
L
In
any
case
when
that
video
gets
flagged,
a
supervisor
now
has
to
go
watch
the
video
which
puts
us
right
back
to
options
one
and
two
increasing
staffing.
So
from
that
we're
going
to
keep
monitoring
the
software
side
to
see
if
it
develops
into
a
cost
or
time
saving
measure
in
the
future
and
ultimately,
what
this
boils
down
to
is
that
we
are
recommending
moving
forward
with
compliance
auditing
and
now
the
chief
and
I
are
here
for
any
questions
you
may
have.
Thank
you.
A
O
Beekman
here
I'll
definitely
go
first.
Hopefully
paul
can
return
soon.
This
last
part
of
the
item
you
just
talked
about
this
new
automatic
auditing
system.
That
sounds
very
wary
to
me:
be
really
cautious
with
those
things
I
don't
think
that's
a
big
hit.
I
think,
there's
serious
concerns
you
already
have
in
how
you
present
video
of
body
camera
things
after
shooting
events
and
stuff.
O
I
really
hope
you're
learning
to
work
with
reimagine
the
reimagine
task
force
on
that
subject
matter
and
that
there
really
can
be
a
shared
process,
a
more
shared
process
of
how
videos
are
released
to
the
public.
You
want
it
to
be
an
honest
account
and
that's
important
and-
and
you
have
a
good
start
with
that,
I
think
you
really
need
community
involvement
more
to
really
make
clear.
What
is
that
honest
account?
O
Good
luck
in
those
efforts
for
all
of
us
to
build
that
in
our
future
and
a
real
good
luck
in
what
we've
also
been
very
nicely
been
working
on
in
san
jose?
How
do
we
address
the
future
of
when
persons
feel
their
criminal
rights?
Their
rights
have
been
taken
from
them
and
they're
incre
involved
in
criminal
cases.
How
can
they
get
body
camera
footage
of
the
event?
O
O
How
we
really
work
on
that
that,
I
think,
will
not
only
help
san
jose
but
the
feature
of
body
camera
footage
for
california
and
finally,
I
really
hope
that
we
can
eventually
have
health
statistics
on
what
body
camera
footage
is
doing
to
police
officers
themselves.
O
N
Good
afternoon,
I
would
like
to
agree
with
everything
the
previous
speaker
said,
and
you
know
it
would
be
good
if
we
could
do
accommodations
for
police
who
are
doing
their
job
really
well,
but
I
am
just
flabbergasted,
so
we
don't
even
have
compliance
audits
to
see
if
they're,
using
their
cameras
properly,
and
that
would
be
a
very
useful
tool
and
the
performance
audits
sound
interesting.
But
I
agree
with
blair
that
automating
the
process
is
not
the
way
to
go.
N
Sorry
lost
nutrients
out
there,
but
anyway
we
definitely
need
to
institute
random
audits
of
body,
worn
camera
footage,
at
least
at
the
compliance
level,
and
hopefully
we
can
work
on
the
performance
audits
and
institute
that
next
fiscal
year.
Thank
you
very
much.
B
Yes,
paul
from
horseshoe.
Thank
you
for
circling
back
to
me,
the
body
cam.
The
purpose
of
it
is
so
that
the
citizen
is
riding
shotgun.
That's
what
it
is.
B
B
This
is
the
class
of
people
that
is
in
the
in
the
least
possible
position
to
defend
themselves
against
the
system.
So
these
are
the
lower
classes
of
people
and
so
there's
a
power
dynamic
here
that
needs
balanced
and
to
say
that.
Well,
it's
going
to
cost
too
much.
No!
No!
That
is
your
role.
That
is
your
job.
E
Thank
you
first
off.
Thank
you
for
the
memo
and
the
presentation
and
actually
all
three
today
and
I
think
in
in
all
the
three
today
we
can
see
how
important
body
worn
camera
footage
is
and
and
what
a
good
investment
that
has
been
and
what
an
investment
that
we
need
to
make
in
audits.
E
To
do
that,
I
also
wanted
to
say
that
I
do
think
compliance
has
tremendous
value,
as
we
heard
about
the
the
other
officers
from
several
years
ago,
that
left
their
cameras
on,
but
one
that
did
not,
and
I
I
would
like
to
think
that
our
officers
have
gotten
more
used
to
the
cameras
in
recent
years,
but
I
think
that
there
are
a
number
of
things
reasons
that
we
still
need
to
do
that,
but
more
still
needs
to
be
done.
E
I
think
that,
given
the
three
things
that
are
outlined
in
the
memo
around
training,
that
this
is
also
a
training
tool,
particularly
when
we
have
such
a
young
workforce
and
as
we
saw
in
the
previous
report,
the
majority
of
the
department-initiated
complaints
were
for
officers
that
had
zero
to
three
years
of
service.
So
this
can
also
be
a
training
tool.
E
I
also
wanted
to
mention
the
wellness
compo
component.
That
you
mentioned
is
the
second
item
that,
as
we
do
random
audits,
there's
an
opportunity
to
look
at
how
our
officers
are
doing
out
in
the
field
again.
This
is
really
important
because
we
have
a
very
thinly
staffed
police
force
that
are
working
a
lot
of
overtime
on
dealing
with
some
really
serious
events
and
officer.
Wellness
is
and
should
be
a
consideration
and
a
priority,
and,
lastly,
the
accountability
portion
and
I
do
think
to
keep
all
of
us
accountable
and
to
have
that
transparency.
E
This
has
been
a
benefit
to
the
city.
Sometimes,
when
we've
seen
that
footage,
it's
benefit
to
the
officer,
it's
a
benefit
to
the
community,
and
I
I
think
this
is
a
really
important
tool
for
us.
As
a
city-
and
I
was
also
impressed
that
one
of
the
the
cities
that
you
talked
to
actually
had
the,
what
is
it,
the
training
officers
like
bring
a
video
a
week
to
use
as
a
training
tool?
E
So
so
I
actually
really
believe
in
this,
and
so
I
wanted
to
make
a
motion
today
to
accept
the
report
and
b
to
direct
the
city
manager
to
implement
random
audits
and
also
to
consider
implementing
performance
audits
through
the
base
budget
or
an
mba
in
the
budget
process
and
include
this
in
the
meet
and
confer
process.
F
P
H
Thank
you
vice
mayor.
I
would
like
to
know
how
this
is
for
the
chief.
How
is
officer
performance
currently
evaluated?
There
was
a
little
bit
in
the
memo
about
supervisors
using
it
to
monitor
using
body,
worn
camera
footage
to
monitor
officer
performance,
and
we
have
a
really
large
department.
We
just
went
through
annual
reviews
in
my
office.
M
Sure
the
current
process
that
we
use
is,
I
think,
has
been
mentioned.
We
have
a
quarterly
report
that
we
look
at
and
we
highlight
that
performance
there
and
we
drill
down
into
the
calls
type
of
calls,
and
then
we
look
at
into
which
division
which
officer
was
sergeant,
did
not
perform
well
or
not
activate
their
body
on
camera
and
then
take
a
look
at
that
for
any
policy
violations
as
well,
because
we
don't
know
if
it's
has
to
do
with
a
technical
issue
on
the
bottom,
one
camera
or
for
their
performance.
M
They
use
that
for
training
to
see
how
they
can
better
respond
to
a
call
better
investigate
what
they
need
to
do
to
better
their
their
service
delivery.
Not
only
in
fto,
but
sergeants
also
take
that
to
debrief
incidents
to
see
how
again
they
can
better
perform
on
a
specific
call
for
service
or
how
they
handled
their
contact
with
the
with
a
citizen.
M
So
they
they're
able
to
pull
those
on
an
individual
basis.
So
with
the
with
the
software,
it
would
allow
us
to
go
to
the
previous
response
in
the
previous
item.
Look
at
an
individual
basis
or
an
officer
how
we
can
pull
those
videos
and
talk
to
them
and
their
supervisors
and
their
their
chain
of
command.
How
to
better
officers
can
better
perform
out
on
the
field
on
a
call
contact
whatever
it
is
investigation
whatever
it
is
that
that
they're
looking
at
so
we
can
do
that
on
an
individual
basis.
M
They
do
and
that's
based
on
their
performance,
but
they
can
also
a
sergeant
supervisor
can
look
at
or
reference
a
body-worn
camera
for
that
performance
when
they,
you
know,
look
at
their
performance
evaluation.
I
All
right,
just
just
a
quick
question
on
this:
a
little
confused
about
the
difference
between
what
you're
saying
is
a
compliance
audit
and
the
recommendations,
one
two,
the
the
alternative
options.
The
compliance
audit
is
using
software
right.
It's
a
software
solution
or.
L
Thank
you
councilmember.
Yes,
so
compliance
auditing
will
have
automated
software
go
through
and
look
at
every
body-worn
camera
video
in
the
entire
department
and
what
it'll
do
is
it'll
say:
okay,
is
this:
is
this
body
worn
camera
video
attached
to
the
correct
event?
Has
it
been
tagged
with
the
correct
event
type
and
then,
if
it,
if
those
things
are
good,
it
just
keeps
going
and
looking
for
the
problems,
if
there's
problems,
what
it'll
do
is
it'll,
send
that
to
the
supervisor
and
say:
hey
sergeant
your
guy
or
gal.
That
was
on
this
call.
L
They
didn't
do
it
right
and
you
need
to
look
at
this
particular
video
all
right.
The
other
thing
it'll
do
is
it'll.
Look
at
the
call
itself
and
I'll
say
event
number
one,
two:
three:
how
many
officers
were
attached?
Well,
there's
four
officers.
That
means
we
should
have
four
body-worn
camera
videos.
If
it
only
has
three
that
means
one's
missing,
hey
sergeant
one's
missing.
L
L
It
can,
it
can
tell
which
officer
was
attached
to
event
but
didn't
upload.
A
video.
However,
just
because
an
officer
was
attached
doesn't
necessarily
mean
they
had
to
upload
a
video,
let's
say,
for
example,
I'm
attached
to
an
event,
but
I
never
arrived
at
that
event
right.
Then
there
would
necessarily
be
no
video,
so
somebody.
I
Has
to
do
a
review
as
to
why
that,
and
that
happened.
The
do
officers
have
to
manually
upload
a
video
or
videos
are
uploaded.
L
The
moment
a
video
camera
hits
the
dock.
It
starts
an
automatic
upload
to
the
cloud
and
moves
directly
into
evidence.com
where
it's
stored,
so
they
don't
have
to
manually.
Do
that
at
all.
What
they
do
have
to
do
is
review
their
body,
body-worn
camera
videos
that
are
uploaded
to
ensure
that
they
have
the
correct
tagging
and
event
numbers
okay,
so
that
is
part
of
the
current
policy.
I
see.
I
Listen
so
it
would
be
listening
for
specific
markers
for
potential
behavior
that
they
want
to.
We
want
to
flag
and
review
exactly
and
we're
not
so
at
this
point
we're
not
recommending
any
of
these
additional
audits
beyond
the
first
compliance
auditing
that
we're
correct.
Okay,
all
right!
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
A
A
C
I
don't
know
if
we
have.
I
don't
think
we
have
a
presentation
on
this
item,
so
we're
going
to
go
to
public
comments.
O
Hi
claire
beekman,
here
just
a
reminder
that
I
stopped
me
if
I'm
wrong,
but
I
think
that
this
sort
of
item
there
will
possibly
be
technology
and
data
collection.
A
part
of
a
part
of
this
build
up
process
and
the
work
of
technology
and
data
collection
at
the
airport
has
always
been
of
interest
to
myself.
They
actually
take
the
extra
step
towards
good,
open
public
policy
practices
and
accountability
with
what
what
can
take
place
with
the
technology,
I'm
really
interested.
O
How
that
then
can
be
applied
to
you
know
the
everyday
practices
of
the
city,
and
you
know
it's-
it's
really
interesting
work.
What
it
can
do.
O
It
really
really
helps
organizes
our
thought
processes,
how
we
use
technology
and
what
it
should
its
purpose
be
used
for
when
we
better
consider
the
civil
rights
and
civil
protections
of
everyday
people
it
just
it
just
goes
hand
in
hand
that
we,
we
think
of
our
better
practices
and
our
better
selves
and
how
we
have
to
consider
items
by
by
using
open
public
policies,
so
a
reminder
of
that
and
and
how
that
can
be
applied,
for
instance
to
the
last
two
previous
items.
O
A
J
H
J
Today,
can
we
go
back
to
the
title
slide?
Please
did
somebody
do
that?
Oh
we're
here
today
to
present
a
park
master
plan
for
a
small
park
in
district
6,
as
well
as
the
results
of
a
park
naming
process,
I'm
joined
by
parks
manager,
heidi
pacheco,
planner,
mary
beth,
bowman
and
planner
rebecca
ross
here
to
do
presentation
and
then
answer
any
questions
or
comments
you
may
have.
Thank
you.
D
Thank
you
john
good
afternoon
again.
My
name
is
heidi.
Pacheco
parks
manager
with
the
prns
capital
team,
together,
we'll
be
presenting
on
the
master
plan
and
park
naming
for
a
future
public
park
at
1343.
The
alameda
we're
very
excited
to
be
part
of
this
project
team.
As
the
community
and
the
shasta
hanchet
neighborhood
association
has
been
working
on
developing
this
site
for
years
and
bringing
a
park
to
this
area.
D
This
map
shows
the
location
of
the
proposed
proposed
park
and
its
10-minute
walk
shed
area.
The
park
will
serve
areas
that
have
been
identified
as
moderate
and
high
priority
park
need
areas.
We
are
proud
to
be
working
on
a
project
that
aligns
with
our
strategic
plan,
activate
sj
and
brings
us
one
step
closer
to
ensuring
to
filling
the
gap
and
ensuring
that
all
san
jose
residents
can
be
within
a
10-minute
walk
to
a
local
park.
D
D
During
the
development
of
the
master
plan,
we
hosted
three
community
workshops
and
three
online
surveys.
We
met
with
the
community
to
gather
data,
refine
the
design
and
present
a
final
conceptual
plan.
We
envisioned
that
the
park
will
attract
customers
to
local
businesses
and
be
an
iconic
destination
in
the
neighborhood.
D
The
design
approach
was
to
provide
a
plaza
for
the
many
community
events
that
will
happen
here.
The
final
conceptual
plan
includes
a
variety
of
recreational
opportunities,
including
a
seating
area
under
a
grove
of
trees
off
the
alameda
people
envision.
This
will
be
an
area
where
they
can
sit
for
lunch
or
coffee
or
just
meet
with
friends,
a
pollinator
garden
along
the
boundary
of
the
park,
game
tables
and
musical
play
elements,
a
variety
of
seating
options
and
shade
sails
and
a
large
central,
flexible,
open
space
and
small
wood
deck
all
designed
to
facilitate
community
events.
D
N
Thank
you
good
afternoon,
council,
I'm
mary
beth
bowman
and
I
have
been
working
on
the
park
naming
for
this
park
site.
The
park
naming
process
has
basically
two
main
parts:
first,
public
engagement
via
online
surveys
to
list
to
solicit
suggestions
and
vote
on
name
options.
Staff
makes
a
recommendation
to
the
decision-making
body
after
that
before
voting
begins
staff,
researches
and
vets
name.
Suggestions
against
council
policy,
7-5,
which
you
see
here
to
qualify
name
options
must
meet
at
least
one
of
the
policy
criteria.
N
The
park
naming
was
integrated
with
the
three
master
plan
community
meetings
that
heidi
workshops.
Excuse
me
that
heidi
mentioned
earlier.
The
first
survey
resulted
in
88
name,
suggestions
with
75
qualifying
names
meeting
the
criteria
similar
names
were
combined
to
create
14
name
options
for
voting
on.
In
the
second
survey,
the
top
three
names
were
put
out
to
vote
in
the
third
and
final
survey.
N
The
name
options
for
the
final
survey
were
handship
park,
the
alameda
park
and
shasta
handshake
park.
As
you
can
see,
hanging
park
received
the
most
votes
followed
by
the
alameda
park
and
shasta
hanget
park.
However,
after
the
final
survey
closed
a
community
member
expressed
concerns.
The
name
handship
park
might
have
implications
that
don't
align
with
the
city's
commitment
to
racial
equity.
As
a
result,
staff
researched
the
history
related
to
the
name
handshake.
N
D
Thank
you,
mary
beth.
Our
recommendations,
for
you
are
a
adopt
city
of
san
jose
1343,
the
alameda
master
plan
report
for
a
new
pocket
park
for
any
public
park,
and
we
adopt
the
alameda
park
as
the
official
park
name
as
recommended
by
staff
in
the
parks
and
recreation
commission
and
as
a
result
of
the
public
outreach
process.
A
N
Hi,
my
name
is
lori
bird
and
I
live
three
doors
down
from
the
proposed
pocket
park
and
today
is
an
amazing
day.
It's
taken
us
a
long
time
to
get
here,
but
I
am
just
thrilled
that
we
are
at
this
point.
I
fully
support
council
member
davis's
memo
to
proceed
with
the
master
plan,
while
taking
some
additional
time
on
the
park,
naming
because
getting
the
name
right
is
critically
important.
So
this
is
an
opportunity
to
come
up
with
a
better
name.
N
I
also
support
her
proposal
to
make
the
space
greener
by
using
more
permeable
surfaces
and
native
plants,
so
our
neighborhood
is
very
excited
about
this
opportunity
and,
like
I
said,
this
is
a
great
step
forward.
I'd
like
to
thank
council
member
davis
for
her
support
and
also
for
the
rest
of
the
council
to
as
they
consider
these
proposed
changes.
Thank
you
very
much.
N
Good
afternoon
vice
mayor
and
members
of
city
council,
my
name
is
helen
chapman
past
president
of
the
shasta
hatchet
park,
neighborhood
association
and
the
vice
chair
for
the
santa
clara
valley,
open
space
authority.
I
cannot
begin
to
tell
you
the
excitement.
I
feel,
as
do
others,
to
see
this
park
and
master
plan
finally
move
forward
today.
N
With
your
vote
of
support,
it
has
been
a
long
journey
of
over
14
years
to
get
to
this
point
and
we
in
the
neighborhood
look
forward
to
the
day
when
this
space
is
transformed
into
a
welcome
gathering
space
for
all.
I
want
to
personally
thank
rebecca
ross
with
prns
for
her
help
and
the
place
making
team
that
helped
us
activate
the
space
to
show
the
neighborhood
what
this
space
could
become.
N
B
Yes,
paul
soto
from
horseshoe
henchin
this
dude.
Let
me
give
you
a
quote
just
so.
You
know
who
we're
dealing
with,
and
then
you
tell
me
what
you
think
he
meant
by
it
by
his
comment.
B
In
1905
lewis
e
hanson
acquired
the
former
agricultural
park
peninsula
land
development
company.
He
developed
to
subdivide
the
land
and
to
develop
a
quote-unquote,
desirable
neighborhood.
The
sales
brochure
stated
and
quote
we
challenge
comparison
with
any
subdivision
offered
anyplace
on
the
peninsula.
As
far
as
the
quality
and
improvements
and
location
tracks
are
concerned,
the
amenities
included,
electric
street
lights,
flush,
toilets
and
septic
tank
sewer
systems.
Residents
bought
a
lot
and
then
commissioned
an
architect
to
design
their
home.
That
mention
hansen's
designs.
B
So
this
dude
is
one
of
the
people
that
created
that
space.
We
know
he
wasn't
having
on
street
life
come
on
man.
What
this
is
doing.
It's
legitimizing.
It's
legitimizing
the
redlining
that
created
that
area.
In
the
first
place,
you
guys
are
going
to
increase
the
property.
Values.
Are
the
people
that
are
in
proximity
to
that
part,
okay
and
then
you're
going
to
mouth
equity
at
the
next
meeting.
B
Yeah
we're
we're
for
we're
we're
for
a
racial
likely,
yeah
yeah.
That's
that's
that's
what
we're
about
this
is
the
time
to
push
right.
Now
you
have
your
shot.
This
is
the
time
when
you
push
racial
equity
and
you
say
no,
you
say
no
to
those
are
you
say
no
to
handshake
and
we're
not
going
to
size
this
reciting
level
period
we're
going
to
start
articulating
accuracy
in
terms
of
what
actually
happened
here
in
this
city
and
what
happened
in
the
city
was
that
200
colonies
were
enslaved
to
build
the
alameda.
That's
what
happened?
A
Good
afternoon
vice
mayor
council
members,
edward
sound
president
and
director
for
planning
and
land
use
for
the
chefs
at
hansher
park,
neighborhood
association
association
members
first
started
advocating
for
the
use
of
1343
the
alameda
as
a
pocket
part
almost
two
decades
ago,
at
a
time
when
city
policy
heavily
favored
only
large
parts,
the
board
and
neighborhood
owe
a
great
deal
of
thanks
to
the
efforts
of
folks
like
lori
bird
mark
morris
and
helen
chapman,
who
have
been
tireless
in
their
support
of
bringing
this
park
to
an
area
that,
by
the
city's
own
standards,
has
been
woefully
parked
efficient
for
many
years.
A
When
the
successor
agency
was
forced
to
sell
the
parcel
to
the
highest
bidder
in
may
of
2017,
we
thought
all
the
communities
work
might
have
been
in
vain.
However,
I
was
fortunate
enough
to
be
board
president,
when
councilmember
davis
announced
the
city's
purchase
of
the
property
in
late
june
of
2018..
I'm
now
equally
fortunate
to
once
again
be
board
president,
when
the
master
plan
has
brought
forward
before
council
for
approval.
Many
neighborhood
residents
took
part
in
the
community
meeting
surveys
for
the
project.
A
T
Hi
this
is
pat
taygens
and
we
are
located
at
1645
the
alameda
just
0.4
miles
away
from
the
proposed
site.
First,
I'd
like
to
thank
city
council,
member
dev
davis
for
working
with
a
neighborhood
on
this
project
and
listening
to
our
input.
We
are
so
happy
for
her
support
and
and
our
we're
excited
for
our
neighborhood
pocket
park.
T
So
obviously
I'm
a
very
enthusiastic
proponent
of
the
of
the
of
the
plan
and
I'm
calling
to
express
that
enthusiasm
and
especially
for
the
added
greenery
and
to
have
a
place
to
gather
with
neighbors.
I
understand
that
you
know
naming
the
park
is
something
that
may
take
a
little
bit
more
time.
T
However,
I
just
wanted
to
throw
out
a
thought
here
and
that
is
to
consider
naming
the
park
after
clara
louise
lawrence,
where
louise
lawrence
actually
lived
in
a
house
that
we
now
own
again
just
0.4
miles
away
from
the
proposed
site
and
she
lived
in
that
house
from
1922
to
1942
and
she
was
a
children's
book
writer
and
a
poet
and
she
actually
wrote
the
poem.
The
valley
of
hearts
delight
it's
a
beautiful
poem
and
a
copyright
1927,
and
she
was
very
active
in
the
area.
T
It
would
just
be
so
special
to
have
a
san
jose
pocket
park
in
our
neighborhood
named
after
a
woman
who
made
significant
contributions
to
the
culture
here
in
the
city
of
san
jose
and
also
to
our
history.
It
would
be
great
to
see
not
only
the
park
name,
the
claire
louise
lawrence
park,
but
to
have
a
plaque
of
that
beautiful
poem
that
connects
to
the
area.
So
just
something
to
put
out
there.
N
N
Thank
you,
councilmember
davis,
for
supporting
the
recommendations
of
the
parks
commission,
particularly
things
like
more
permeable
surfaces
and
less
artificial
turf,
and
very
grateful
that
we're
moving
the
master
plan,
hopefully
forward
today,
so
very,
very
supportive
of
continuing
to
move
this
park
forward.
It
will
be
a
big
boon
for
the
neighborhood
and
we
desperately
want
it.
N
So,
thanks
to
all
the
neighborhood
advocates,
who've
worked
really
hard,
as
well
as
city
staff
and
council
member
davis,
to
move
this
master
plan
forward
and
let's
keep
working
to
see
if
we
can
come
up
with
a
more
original
name
that
will
imprint
more
culture
and
character
into
the
alameda
and
our
city.
Thanks.
H
H
I
was
going
to
say
decades
it's
a
decade
and
a
half
helen
chapman
and
lori
byrd,
and
I
want
to
thank
them
for
working
so
diligently
on
this
project
for
so
long,
and
I
also
want
to
thank
the
parks
department
for
all
of
their
work,
even
though
it
is
a
very
small
little
park,
it's
a
very
big
deal
for
the
community
and
I
appreciate
all
of
your
outreach
and
work
on
the
design
and
the
naming
and
everything
that
goes
into
that,
and
I
know
we
have
a
lot
more
work
to
do.
H
This
is
going
to
be.
I
don't.
I
don't
want
to
give
this
tiny
park
too
many
words,
we've
heard
from
the
community
already
it's
going
to
be
a
great
gathering
space
and
a
nice
natural
oasis
in
along
a
very
busy
corridor,
and
I'm
very
much
looking
forward
to
bringing
this
asset
to
the
neighborhood,
including
to
the
businesses,
because
it
will
allow
some
more
outdoor
dining
area
that
is
not
possible
on
on
a,
as
I
said,
a
very
busy
corridor.
H
We
weren't
able
to
do
the
little
parklets
and
seating
for
alfresco
along
the
alameda,
as
we
were
on
lincoln
avenue.
So
this
will
be
a
nice
addition
to
the
area
for
the
for
the
businesses
as
well.
With
that
I
I
want
to
move
my
memo.
H
We
we
have
a
few
just
modifications
and
it's
based
on
what
the
the
prc
really
recommended
and
as
well
as
the
the
neighborhood
as
as
well
in
terms
of
adding
some
native
plant
landscaping
and
getting
rid
of
the
artificial
turf,
and
I
already
have
talked
to
the
parks
department.
So
I
know
that
you
guys
are
in
favor
of
that
and
then
wanted
to
bring
another
name
forward,
because
the
the
names
that
were
the
top
choices
have
have
some
difficulty
with
them.
H
And
so
we
do
know
that
that
clara
louise
lawrence
was
a
poet
of
local
significance
and,
as
you
heard
from
one
of
the
commenters
who
actually
owns
the
home,
she
lived
in.
She
wrote
the
poem
entitled
the
valley
of
hearts
delight
which,
as
we
all
know,
became
the
name
for
our
valley
before
it
was
silicon
valley.
H
So
I
am
hopeful
that
that
we
actually
will
end
up
having
this
name.
But
I
do
want
to
give
the
community
an
opportunity
to
vap
this
name
and
for
us
to
have
a
little
more
time
to
ensure
that,
when
we're
naming
a
park
after
a
person
that
we
are
ensuring
that
this
person
holds
values
that
that
we
have
today.
C
A
O
Thank
you
very
much
for
opening
for
offering
open
public
forum
at
this
time
at
the
end
of
the
regular
consent
or
the
regular
council
agenda.
O
I
I
guess
you
know
I
I've
said
what
I
needed
to
say.
I
hope
the
words
that
I've
said
today
can
be
an
important
reminder
of
a
world
we
can
be
working
towards.
O
O
There
is
hope
for
our
future.
We
just
want
to
have
to
apply
ourselves
to
that
hope
and
want
to
work
towards
our
better
practices
and
it's
those
sort
of
things
I
think
the
mayor
can
understand
and
and
that
I
hope,
can
be
a
part
of
his
legacy
and
leaves
steps
in
how
we
can
be
building
those
things.
Like
participatory
democracy.
O
I
think
he
can,
and
I
think,
good
luck
how
we
can
do
those
things
it's
with
that
said
to
once
again
offer.
I
really
hope
all
sides
can
be
working
towards
peace
instead
of
war
for
the
future
of
the
ukraine
area.
O
At
this
time
again,
I
think
we
have
health
and
human
services
ideas
and
racial
equity
ideas
in
this
country
that
can
be
of
much
help
and
how
to
address
what
I
think
we
can
all
see
as
some
obvious
plans
of
peace
for
all
sides
in
this
issue
it
is
a
bit
there
has
to
be
a
bit
of
concessions
to
consider
a
future
of
an
east
and
west
ukraine
that
can
allow.
O
You
know,
court
rights
for
both
sides
of
the
for
russia
and
ukraine,
but
it
is
with
that,
I
think,
can
be
the
ideas
of
a
long-term
peace
and
negotiation
that
I
hope
we
want
to
work
towards
and
be
open
about.
Thank
you.
B
Yeah,
when
mexico
won
its
independence
against
spain
in
1821,
they
didn't
just
kick
out
the
spanish
government.
They
also
kicked
out
the
catholic
church.
They
said
get
out
of
here.
Why?
Because
of
the
enslavement
of
the
native
peoples,
one
of
those
native
peoples
received
a
land
grant.
His
name
is
robert
and
you'll
recognize
this
last
name,
because
it's
real
familiar
roberto,
bellarmino
sounds
familiar.
B
B
B
This
is
see
in
the
land
has
not
been
healed
from
that
because
it
was
born
in
theft
in
chicanery
and
treachery
and
decapitation
that
the
land
has
never.
It
hasn't
healed
because
profiteering
profiteering
has
continued
to
happen
in
that
space,
look
at
the
rose
garden
and
look
at
the
rose
garden
in
willow.
Glen.
Look
at
that
land.
It
has
been
profiteering
from
racist
policies,
racist
intent
since
its
formation,
when
it
stole,
got
stolen
from
ballerina
and
here's
the
one
that
built
the
house
lincoln
avenue.
B
N
This
webinar
I've
had
a
hard
time
hearing
some
of
the
presenters
today,
notably
the
police
chief,
who,
I
think
is
a
wonderfully
well-spoken
man.
However,
he
was
very
hard
to
hear
and
there's
no
way
for
me
as
a
webinar
participant
to
advise
anybody
there
in
the
room
that
I'm
having
a
hard
time
participating
frankly,
so
I
just
wanted
to
throw
that
out
there
as
a
comment
for
the
council
and
maybe
future
program
improvements,
I'd
love
to
be
able
to
hear
everything
that
is
being
presented
when
I'm
participating
remotely.
Thank
you.
