E
B
E
Thank
you

Apologies,
we're
very
excited
to
actually
be
here,
and
we
have
some
of
my
other
colleagues
are.
That
should
be
joining
very

they
haven't
already
so,
but
we're
really
excited,
or
can
we
jump
right
into
the
presentation.
B
Please
do
and
thank
you
again
for
all
the
time
and
and
energy
that
you
and
so
many
members
of
the
community
invested
in
this
effort.
Fantastic.
E
So
let
me
pull
up
our
deck
and
but
first
and
foremost,
I
want
to
thank
the
the
city
council
for
your
support
of
this
community-led
process
and
we
are
delighted
to
be
able
to
share
some
of
the
results
of
the
work
that
we've
been
doing
over
the
last
eight
months.
So
first
off.
I
wanted
to
again
thank
the
thank
my
also
also
the
members
of
the
committee
that
have
been
that
have
played
such
a
key
role
in
helping
develop
this.
E
E
You
have
the
full
report,
which
includes
about
both
the
59
recommendations
from
the
from
the
committee
and
and
38
recommendations
from
the
youth
council
and
we'll
briefly,
you
know
talk
about
next
steps
about
how
we
hope
to
build
a
partner
with
you
into
the
future,
but
to
lead
off.
E
I
wanted
to
make
sure
that
there
are
about
five
takeaways,
that
we
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
that
we're
leaving
with
you
today,
first
and
most
importantly,
that
san
jose
has
a
long
history
of
reform
movements
when
it
comes
to
addressing
issues
around
around
police
reform,
addressing
issues
of
police
brutality
and
other
issues
around
bias
in
law
enforcement.
E
But
that
was
not
the
entire
focus
of
our
work.
Our
focus
is
really
to
think
about
how
we
get
beyond
the
the
challenges
that
persist
of
bias
and
trauma
in
our
system,
but
for
us
to
think
about
what
could
it
look
like
that?
Can
what
could
be
the
kind
of
proposals
or
ideas
that
we
could
develop?
That
can
make
our
community
safer
and
among
our
key
findings
and
opportunities
that
we
see,
are
the
opportunity
for
us
to
have
the
right
expert
perform
the
right
job
to
address
some
of
the
conditions?
E
Are
there
more
effective,
efficient
and
equitable
ways
that
we
could
actually
work
together
to
actually
make
our
community
our
san
jose
community
safer?
We
also
feel
it's
really
critical.
Another
key
takeaway
was:
we
need
to
address
the
root
causes
of
crime,
wanting
to
make
sure
that
our
communities
are
safer
in
the
first
place.
Prevention
is
really
key.
E
It's
really
what
the
community
wants
us
to
be
able
to
do
and
what
some,
what
could
be
some
of
the
pathways
to
move
forward
and
also
while
we
understand
that
that
law
enforcement
plays
a
very
critical
role
in
helping
the
communities
keep
our
communities
safe.
We
need
our
system
has
to
be
held
accountable.
There
is
no.
E
We
cannot
move
forward
without
an
effective
level
of
oversight
and
accountability
for
our
systems.
So
in
tonight
we're
going
to
be
covering
you've
already
received
the
report.
It
is,
you
know
it
is
public
and
really
grateful
for
all
the
work
that
went
into
it.
There
are
hundreds
of
ideas
that
were
considered
we're
presenting
a
handful
of
them
relatively
today
in
these
seven
categories,
but
but
before
we
launch
into
that,
we
want
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
context.
F
You
hello,
council,
members
and
revocado.
Thank
you
for
having
us
today.
We
just
wanted
to
bring
some
context
and
remind
everybody
that
it
is.
It
has
been
17
715
days
and
counting
since
the
murder
of
george
floyd,
and
that
our
city
has
embarked
on
this
big
effort
and
the
time
that
we
spent
in
this
report
together
in
unity
and
solidarity
with
what's
happening
across
the
country
and
recognizing
that
it's
very
much
still
happening
here
in
our
city
too,
and
that
there's
immense
pain
and
harm.
F
E
So
again,
two
years
ago
we
had
the
the
conversation
that
happened.
The
council,
in
response
to
to
what
we
were
seeing
around
the
country
and
the
uprising
that
was
happening
both
here
and
everywhere
was
the
was
a
call
to
action
to
the
council,
develop
a
process
to
redirect
resources
away
from
policing
towards
other
community-based
solutions.
E
When
the
city's
process
that
that
emerged
about
several
months
later
came
to
came
to
fruition
in
the
spring
of
last
year,
it
ultimately
dissolved
in
around
may
of
of
2021,
but
we
partnered
with
you
to
develop
the
rematching
public
safety
community
advisory
committee,
community-led
process
that,
with
your
support
in
june
of
last
year,
we
began
to
appoint
members
in
july.
E
We
began
our
work
in
august
of
2021
and
began
with
our
study
sessions
and
our
work
and
our
research,
which
will
which
we'll
cover
a
little
bit,
is
covered
in
the
report
and
in
october.
After
the
city
appointed
a
number
of
representatives
from
both
the
neighborhoods
commission
and
other
neighborhood
representatives,
that
is
when
we
appointed
subcommittees
for
five
subcommittees:
alternative
responses,
promotion
and
prevention,
accountability
and
reform.
E
A
steering
committee
and
the
youth
council
was
formally
was
formally
seated
subcommittees,
began
their
work
in
november
of
last
year,
recommendations
were
developed
and
the
youth
council
began
its
work
in
december.
We
were
submitting
recommendations
and
working
on
them.
After
hearing
the
public,
testimony
lived,
experienced
voices
and
we
had
public
input
hearings.
In
february
and
march.
Our
recommendations
were
finalized.
E
In
that
time
frame
last
month
we
were
able
to
finish
developing
the
report,
voted
on
the
recommendations
and
we're
here
tonight
to
present
to
present
the
full
report.
But
again
the
context
came
from
being
able
to
do
some
investigation
and
presentations
and
lived
experience,
testimony
from
individuals
that
are
impacted
in
these
various
ways:
hearing
everything
from
the
history
of
policing
and
reform,
hearing
from
the
experience
of
individuals
with
mental
health
challenges
or
or
mental
health
consumers,
individual
disabilities,
survivors
of
gender-based
violence,
individuals
who
are
unhoused
the
experiences
of
black
latinx
api
lgbtqia
communities.
E
All
that
input
helped
helped
inform
the
recommendations
that
we're
presenting
to
you
this
evening
and
and
these
while
there
were
the
three
subcommittees
that
helped
work
on
these
they're
divided
for
for
the
purposes
of
of
clarity
into
seven
sections.
In
this
report,
the
first
section
I'm
going
to
I'm
going
to
dive
into
it,
which
is
talking
about
alternative
safety
responses.
Again.
This
was
part
of
the
original
charge
of
the
of
the
committee
and
the
original
committee
that
was
set
up
by
the
city
to
actually
explore.
E
Are
there
opportunities
for
us
to
find
the
right
professionals
to
deal
with
the
right
challenges
and
to
lead
off
with
talking
about
one
of
the
one
of
the
key
featured
recommendations
that
we
want
to
do.
Don
taylor
from
pacific
clinics
is
going
to
share
a
little
bit
about
some
of
the
work
in
the
first
proposal
from
the
reimagining
public
safety
process.
G
So
an
expanded
partnership
with
the
city
of
san
jose
will
further
support
the
non-law
enforcement
response
through
the
city,
allowing
law
enforcement
to
focus
on
crime
and
safety
response,
while
our
teams
are
able
to
focus
on
the
mental
health
response
of
node.
Is
our
current
crisis
services
currently
upstanding
meetings
with
law
enforcement
jurisdictions,
where
we
share
data,
identify
trends
and
troubleshoot
trust
will
be
able
to
leverage
some
of
that
and
the
trust,
localized
response,
design
again
better
targets,
local
needs
and
provides
quicker
response
time.
G
More
localized
and
more
localized
teams
will
greater
support
the
mental
health
access,
as
well
as
free
up
police
resources
for
other
responses.
There
are
other
cities
in
santa
clara
county
that
are
also
exploring
investing
in
this
in
this
service
and
expanding
in
their
cities.
So
as
the
provider
and
a
resident
of
san
jose
district
one,
I
hope
you
consider
these
recommendations
and
appreciate
the
time.
Thank
you.
E
Thank
you
don,
I'm
just
going
to
briefly
brief
through
a
couple
more
of
these
recommendations,
a
similar,
similar
model
that
we'd
like
to
see
explored
and
one
of
our
recommendations.
Three
and
four
are
talking
about
homelessness
and
having
an
alternative
homelessness
response
system
that
could
be
deployed.
E
We
have
a
series
of
recommendations
around
traffic
safety,
including
including
an
expansion
of
the
work,
that's
happening
with
the
vision,
zero
process
to
be
able
to
look
at
traffic
safety
by
design,
while
perhaps
continuing
to
use
law
enforcement
to
actually
deal
with
hazardous,
and
you
know
speeding
and
reckless
driving
types
of
types
of
work.
Could
we
explore
different
alternative
personnel
measures
to
be
able
to
enhance
traffic
safety?
E
We
have
a
series
of
other
recommendations
around
around
being
able
to
come
up
with
alternative
responses
to
gender-based
violence,
especially
for
low-level
types
of
incidents
and
restorative
justice,
type
of
worker
programs
and
partnering
with
individuals
that
are
survivors
of
of
intimate
partner,
violence
and
other
forms
of
gender-based
violence
to
be
the
ones
helping
to
guide
and
lead
decision
making
about
how
we
can
come
up
with
more
appropriate
responses.
E
The
community
service
officer
program
is
one
that
is
potentially
underutilized
about
40
about
some
of
the
most
recent
data
that
we
had
may
not
be
the
most
up-to-date,
but
but
about
40
of
of
incidents
or
calls
for
service
that
csos
were
eligible
for
were
not
taken
by
by
csos,
but
by
law
enforcement.
There
might
be
a
better
deployment
of
of
law
enforcement
to
other
things,
so
an
expansion
that
program
was
part
of
one
of
the
other
recommendations
that
we
have.
F
This
next
section
is
called
support
for
impacted
families.
A
key
component
of
promoting
safer
communities
in
our
city
is
addressing
underlying
needs
of
those
most
impacted
by
trauma
in
all
of
its
forms.
In
order
to
stop
the
cycle
of
violence
in
our
city,
I'm
going
to
highlight
one
of
the
proposals
listed
here
called
the
drama
trauma
relief
fund.
F
This
trauma
relief
fund
would
set
up
a
fund
in
the
city
of
san
jose
that
would
address
the
needs
of
many
victims
and
survivors
of
violence,
trauma
and
harm
in
our
city,
who
don't
have
access
to
the
traditional
routes
of
of
response
and
resource
either
because
of
the
perpetrator
victim,
binary
or
because
of
a
host
of
other
reasons
that
they
may
not
be
able
to
access
traditional
victim
services.
This
fund
recognizes
that
violence
is
violence.
Harm
is
harm,
and
all
of
it
is
problematic
for
our
city.
F
This
film
would
also
be
detached
from
the
criminal
justice
system
and
would
be
developed
with
input
from
survivors
of
violence.
The
fund
would
also
establish
wrap
around
mental
health
treatment
and
social
support
services
for
survivors
of
violence.
This
fund
would,
in
particular,
also
support
survivors
of
police,
violence
and
families
of
those
that
we've
lost
to
police
violence.
F
Also,
in
this
section
is
a
guaranteed
basic
income
for
survivors
of
gender-based
violence.
Recognizing
that
often
it
is
the
economic
barriers
that
keep
people
from
leaving
dangerous
situations.
A
reparations
pilot
for
women
of
color,
in
particular,
who've,
been
impacted
by
the
incarceration
of
a
loved
one,
and
a
proposal
called
prevent
exits
to
homelessness,
where
the
city
of
san
jose
will
work
with
other
agencies
to
develop
housing
and
supportive
services
to
ensure
that
individuals
leaving
incarceration
jail
in
prison
are
not
released
back
into
homelessness.
F
Much
of
our
conversations,
just
as
in
the
slide
before
we
talked
about
addressing
the
root
causes
of
harm
and
the
root
causes
of
trauma
and
really
helping
our
city
to
heal
harm
in
all
of
its
form.
This
section
talks
a
little
bit
about
those
root
causes
as
well,
and
that
our
pursuit
of
of
justice,
our
pursuit
of
public
safety,
should
also
be
one
that
is
a
pursuit
of
just
social
conditions
for
residents
of
our
city.
F
There's
also
a
gross
receipts
tax
to
make
sure
that
we're
able
to
properly
fund
these
services-
and
there
are
there's
another
proposal
here-
called
campaign
zero.
This
proposal
is,
I
would
initiate
a
visioning
process
to
identify
strategies
that
ensure
our
communities
are
safer
by
addressing
root
causes
of
inequities,
violence
and
trauma,
including
benchmarking
of
success
driven
by
community
voices.
F
Ultimately,
this
proposal
is
a
step
toward
the
direction
of
not
leaning
on
policing
as
being
the
sole
tool
that
we
use
to
ensure
public
safety
or
to
move
toward
public
safety,
but
instead
allowing
us
to
vision
and
benchmark
and
and
draw
out
a
plan
where
we
are
properly
investing
in
eliminating
causes
of
harm
and
violence.
In
our
city,
where
we're
properly
investing
based
on
community
will
and
community
listening
sessions
in
creating
just
social
conditions
and
over
time,
reducing
our
need
for
police
officers
in
areas
where
they're
unnecessary.
E
So
this
next
section
that
we're
that
we're
going
to
be
sharing
has
to
do
with
civilian
oversight
and
accountability.
So
the
the
rematching
public
safety
community
advisory
committee
was
deeply
involved
and
invested
in
the
charter
review
commission's
work
and
for
the
first
three
recommendations.
We
are
concurring
with
the
chair
review
commission.
So
I'm
going
to
kick
it
over
to
fred.
A
Good
evening,
mayor
members
of
the
council,
frederick
freyr,
the
chair
of
the
san
jose
charter
review
commission
and
I've
spoken
to
you
before
in
terms
of
the
other
recommendations
we
made,
but
in
terms
of
accountability,
I'm
honored
to
join
this
group
tonight
to
be
able
to
see
how
our
two
groups
of
work
has
really
dovetailed.
A
We
had
commissioners
who
are
very
concerned
about
police
accountability
and
in
our
report
we
have
over
30
pages
of
resources
and
sources
and
references.
So
it's
one
of
the
most
well
documented
questions
that
we
that
we
undertook
in
terms
of
reviewing
what
the
charter
might
need
in
terms
of
increasing
accountability
in
terms
of
our
police.
A
Secondly,
convert
the
office
of
the
independent
police
auditor
to
an
independent
investigation
department
with
the
powers
of
subpoena
and
full
and
unredacted
access
to
all
documents
in
the
possession
of
the
san
jose
police
department
and
then
third,
creating
an
office
of
the
inspector
general
to
to
assist
the
police
oversight.
Commission,
in
conducting
reviews
of
patterns,
practice
trends,
systems
and
policies
at
the
police
department.
A
As
you
can
see,
the
work
that
the
reimagining
committee
has
been
doing
is
really
looking
at
this
broad
set
of
recommendations
in
all
these
different
areas,
but
if,
without
accountability,
these
reforms,
I
think,
will
fall
flat
in
terms
of
really
building
the
trust
within
the
community
and
maintaining
the
trust
and
that
sustaining
is
really
a
key
piece
to
this.
I'm
happy
to
answer
questions
after
our
presentation
about
the
commission's
recommendations,
but
those
are
the
recommendations
that
we
came
up
with
in
terms
of
increasing
accountability
for
our
police
department.
E
In
addition
to
the
work
of
the
charter
review
commission,
there
are
one
of
our
subcommittees
dealt
deeply
into
sibling,
oversight
and
accountability,
and
we're
not
going
to
cover
most
of
the
recommendations
that
were
done,
but
just
to
highlight
a
few
of
them
around.
Both
police
conduct
and
oversight
included.
One
of
them
has
to
do
with
with
arbitration.
E
E
So
we
understand
that's
a
meet
and
confer
item,
but
it
was
something
that
that
was
brought
up
by
many
of
the
family
members
in
a
very
in
a
very
impactful
way
about
about
what
has
happened
and
the
difficulty
and
being
able
to
hold
individuals
where
there
has
been
both
both
in
terms
of
very
difficult
and
and
heartbreaking
situations.
That
have
happened
with
with
situations,
but
also
making
sure
that
discipline
can
actually
be
meted
out.
E
So,
on
the
the
next
section,
we
talked
a
little
bit
about
police
conduct,
and
so
we
have
a
number
of
recommendations
here
and
again,
I'm
not
going
to
be
able
to
go
through
all
of
them,
but
a
few
of
them
that
that
stand
out
included
the
the
opportunity
and
necessity
for
us
to
really
look
at
at
some
of
our
policies
around
around
searches.
E
Right
now,
we
would
like
to
see
changes
in
terms
of
police
being
able
to
identify
why
a
search
is
actually
being
conducted,
information
that
can
be
shared
by
sjpd
when
they're
actually
doing
conducting
a
search
about
people's
rights
and
the
process
that
they
have
in
terms
of
being
able
to
be
subjected
to
that
search.
Similarly,
what
I
mentioned
before
about
arbitration
looking
at
critical
incidents
and
the
process
that
happens,
we
we
were.
We
actually
heard
some
incredibly
important
testimony
from
families
that
have
lost
loved
ones
and
what
had
happened.
E
The
convict
that
happened
in
the
immediate
aftermath
of
those
where
families
were
family
members
were
brought
in.
You
know
and
were
brought
in
and
interrogated
about,
the
about
the
mental
health
status
and
other
histories.
Very
personal
histories
of
of
those
and
and
the
way
that
that
law
enforcement
was
actually
trying
to
shape
a
narrative.
E
You
know
both
the
use
of
video
and
how
it's
presented
and
other
types
of
information
that
in
many
ways,
re-traumatize
the
families-
and
we
very
much
like
to
see
some
changes
in
in
that
conduct
and
one
last
point
that
we
want
to
bring
up.
I
had
to
do
with
drug
testing
in
the
immediate
aftermath
of
of
critical
incidents.
E
We
would
very
much
like
to
see
drug
testing
of
the
folks
that
were
involved
in
that
the
law
enforcement
involved
in
that
and
spoke
to
the
press
conference
that
we
heard
last
week
from
mayor,
ricardo
and
and
chief
mata
about
about
potentially
incorporating
random
testing.
You
know
in
terms
of
the
next,
the
next
round
of
of
bargaining
with
you
know
in
terms
of
the
contract,
so
we
stand
in
strong
support
of
that.
H
H
H
There's
also
a
recommendation
that
asks
to
delve
into
discriminator
sorry
discriminatory,
behavior
within
the
department
and
to
work
together
to
reorganize
as
necessary
to
provide
the
structure
within
the
department
necessary
to
end
that
discriminatory
behavior
next
slide,
please
when
it
comes
to
enforcement
priorities.
This
is
another
area
where
we
have
an
opportunity
to
make
sure
we're
engaging
the
right
professional
with
the
right
outcome
that
we
desire.
H
F
E
Reiterating
one
of
the
main
points
is
that
it,
it
only
makes
sense
to
have
the
right
person
to
do
the
right
job
and
we
are
excited
to
be
able
to
partner
with
you.
You
know,
with
the
city
through
this
process,
to
try
to
identify
those
correct
interventions,
so
we're
actually
utilizing
law
enforcement
for
what
for
what
we
really
need
them
for
and
getting
the
right
professionals
and
experts
to
actually
deal
with
the
situations
as
they
arise.
H
If
we
want
to
have
trust
between
the
police
department
and
the
community
they
serve,
then
there
must
be
accountability,
that's
just
common
sense.
We
also
are
looking
forward
to
the
next
steps
and
working
together
with
the
city,
the
city,
council,
your
staffs
and
the
youth
council
to
flesh
out
how
we
move
these
recommendations
into
action.
H
We
are
happy
to
answer
any
questions
that
you
have
about
the
policies
presented
tonight
or
anything
in
our
recommendation
packet
after
we
have
our
presentation
from
the
youth
council
who's
up
next.
I
I
I
To
begin
the
youth
council
centered
ourselves
around
three
values
that
we
want
to
emphasize
the
first
being.
We
wanted
to
build
a
community
where
everyone
feels
safe
by
stopping
violence,
physicals,
murders
by
police
and
also
emotional
gaslighting
re-traumatizing,
and
how
police
don't
know
how
to
interact
with
marginalized
communities.
J
Hello,
everyone,
my
name,
is
joriah
hogg
and
I've
come
to
you
today.
As
a
member
of
the
naacp
youth
chapter,
I
was
born
and
raised
here
in
san
jose
from
district
4,
and
so
I
just
wanted
to
highlight
a
couple
of
things
on
the
state
side
on
what
we
can
do
for
police
accountability.
So
to
start
off,
we
want
to
ask
the
following
questions
answered
from
the
city:
how
is
san
jose
implementing
these
state
police
state,
public
safety
laws?
And
what
is
the
timeline?
J
We
wanted
to
highlight
two
bills
that
passed
this
past
year
in
the
state
legislature,
sb2
and
sb.
490.
sb2
is
a
bill
that
introduces
a
new
process
of
investigation
and
suspicio
suspension
of
those
without
the
fitness
of
a
person
to
be
an
officer.
We
urge
the
city
to
utilize
these
processes
to
decertify
officers
that
have
committed
abuses
of
power,
exuded,
racial
bias
and
other
serious
misconduct.
J
J
So
next
thing
that
we
wanted,
we
wanted
the
office
submit
of
the
administration
policy
and
intergovernmental
relations
to
prioritize
and
support
these
current
bills.
Av
1947
and
av-988
ab-1947
would
ensure
that
police
departments
can
properly
recognize
report
and
respond
to
hate
crimes.
San
jose
particularly
saw
a
surge
in
asian
hate
crimes
and
is
one
of
the
most
diverse
cities
in
the
state.
I
And
it
also
makes
federal
law
enforcement
agencies
liable
for
the
conduct
of
an
officer,
regardless
of
the
officer
having
qualified
defense
or
not,
as
this
is
currently
something
that
they
are
protected
under
and
by
doing
so
will
allow
people
to
keep
law
enforcement
agencies
accountable
for
anything
that
they
have
experienced
or
occurred,
whether
that
be
through
their
arrest
or
through
their
interactions.
With
an
officer.
J
J
We
want
it
to
align
with
mayoral
races,
to
increase
turnout
and
the
city
of
santa
clara
already
does
this,
and
this
will
increase
the
accountability
of
the
police
chief
and
also
we
wanted
to
highlight
that
we
want
the
candidates
who
would
run
to
have
certain
qualifications
in
order
to
run
they
would
have
to
have
a
certain
ranking
in
the
force
or
other
qualifications
deemed
necessary
by
the
city
council.
We
also
wanted
to
highlight
that
we
want
more
increased
transparency
on
what's
on
the
budget.
We
want
more
engagement
with
the
use
on
what's
in
the
budget.
I
Moving
on
with
accountability,
we
also
believe
in
more
civilian
auditing
and
creating
an
independent
auditing
office,
separate
from
the
ipa.
How
this
would
work
is
that
currently,
the
ipa
is
the
only
office
that
was
chartered
to
audit
sjpd
and
although
the
office
was
established
in
1993
and
chartered
in
96,
community
trusts
and
relations
remains
decreased,
so,
as
prudence
brutality
has
continued
over
three
decades,
it
is
clear
that
the
ipa
needs
support
through
other
veins.
Hence
why
we
recommend
the
need
for
community
civilian
audit
and
oversight
group
due
to
the
top-down
nature
of
the
ipa.
I
The
group
we
are
proposing
will
be
made
up
of
community-based
organization
representatives
akin
to
the
reimagining
public
safety
community
committee,
those
experiencing
homelessness,
those
with
disabilities
and,
finally,
the
non-english
speaking
population.
In
doing
so,
these
representatives
and
employees
will
accompany
officers
independently
to
report
and
record
police
interactions
before,
during
and
after
an
interaction.
I
Additionally,
the
group
will
monitor
sjpd's
budget
to
audit
that
sjpd
is
funded
with
what
they
need
and
if
funds
can
be
allocated
elsewhere,
these
positions
should
be
paid
and
supported
not
incorporated
through
the
city.
In
a
similar
vein,
we'd
like
to
also
advocate
for
a
youth
auditing
group
and
through
this
youth
auditing
group,
we
are
seeing
it
to
be
akin
to
our
own
youth,
reimagined
public
safety
committee.
I
In
addition
to
the
adult
civilian,
auditing
and
oversight
group,
we
believe
that
this
would
benefit
in
drafting
and
creating
law
enforcement
proposals
and
making
budget
proposals
and
suggestions
for
the
audit
group
to
work
with.
Moreover,
youth
members
can
write
opinions
on
police
reports
and
actions
to
give
public
perspectives
on
how
the
police
have
been
doing
and
what
is
and
is
not
working.
Youth
have
historically
been
excluded
from
the
policy
making
realm
and
by
having
this
group
be
established,
youth
will
have
a
better
opportunity
to
make
change
and
change
and
be
involved
in
civics.
I
Lastly,
because
a
lot
of
youth
and
especially
gen
z,
are
always
concerned
about,
what's
in
it
for
them,
we
also
believe
that
this
should
be
a
stipend
or
a
paid
position
for
you
to
be
compensated
for
their
time,
moving
away
from
police
accountability.
We
also
believe
in
improving
police
relations
and
their
outreach.
I
For
here,
current
police
outreach
is
that
sjpd
is
currently
involved
and
responsible
for
various
community
services
that
aren't
just
enforcing
the
law.
They
sometimes
act
as
crossing
guards
safety,
education
hosting
the
teen
kids
program,
which
allows
patrol
officers
to
visit
elementary
schools
at
six
weekly
visits,
focusing
on
crime
prevention
and
youth
safety,
with
an
emphasis
on
gang
prevention,
education,
they're
also,
crime
prevention
and
specialists,
as
they're
also
involved
in
a
variety
of
youth
and
skill-based
programming.
Presenting
violence
reduction,
drug
and
gain
awareness
prevention,
as
sjpd
sites,
says
oftentimes.
I
The
framework
of
police
community
relations
is
such
that
the
burden
is
placed
on
the
community
to
like
and
appreciate
police
as
they
are,
rather
than
for
police
to
like
and
appreciate
the
community
as
they
are.
In
other
words,
community
members
are
forced
to
appreciate
police
and
not
have
an
opinion
if
they
are
to
like
them,
or
not
only
in
totalitarian
regimes.
Do
we,
as
the
youth,
find
that
the
narrative
of
community
relations
and
safety
centers
around
the
comfort
and
safety
of
those
in
governance,
as
opposed
to
those
who
elected
them?
I
We
really
do
not
want
to
continue
this
gaslighting.
Thus,
we
determined
an
appropriate
and
democratic
route
to
take
is
for
the
police
and
those
in
power
to
center
the
community's
efforts
and
concerns
in
their
approaches,
actions
and
decisions.
It
makes
no
sense
to
us
you
to
expect
those
most
targeted
and
oppressed
by
police
are,
should
be
the
ones
who
have
to
change
their
perspectives
while
facing
the
same
systemic
oppressions
as
it
would
be.
Abusive
for
police
have
a
better
relation
with
the
community
police
are
the
ones
who
need
to
humanize
and
understand
their
community.
I
It
is
an
outreach
without
conformity,
so
we
propose
that
we
like
to
remove
police
from
community
events
and
replace
with
private
security
that
does
not
have
armistice,
while
also
increasing
advertising
of
already
public
meetings.
So
more
community
members
are
aware
of
the
important
decision
making
that
works
into
the
policing
within
their
community.
I
A
more
trauma-informed
approach
would
be
for
police
and
those
in
power
to
center.
The
community's
efforts
comforts
and
concerns
in
their
approaches,
actions
and
decisions
outreach
with
the
focus
on
this
conformity
is
an
essence
that
takes
away
from
the
fact
that
officers
as
individual
humans
partake
in
and
reinforce
a
collective
which
regularly
oppresses
those
already
most
vulnerable
and
entirely
dismisses
not
just
the
history
of
police
as
a
white
supremacist
institution,
but
also
their
continued
engagement
as
one
in
many
respects.
I
Investing
behavioral
health
resources
for
students
instead
and
removing
sros
and
sjpd
from
all
san
jose,
unified,
school
district
campuses
and
events
and
replace
them
with
private
security
would
instead
make
youth
feel
more
comfortable
going
to
school
and
in
their
own
skin.
Moreover,
we
believe
in
having
more
career-centered
workshops
such
as
maybe
having
a
community
organizer
or
public
defender
workshop,
so
police
aren't
the
only
professions
that
they
view
in
keeping
up
public
safety
next.
We
also
believe
that
sjpd
should
continue
and
increasing
their
lgbtqia
plus
community
relations.
I
Currently
sjpd
does
have
an
lgbtqia
plus
communal
liaison,
but
anti-lgbtqia
plus
discrimination
persists
during
police
interactions.
Some
proposed
solutions
we
have
for
this
is
training
police
officers
on
how
to
interact
with
members
of
the
community
and
especially
working
with
lgbtqia
plus
youth
space,
rather
than
just
billy
to
frank.
This
training
must
involve
face-to-face
discussion
with
members
of
the
community
to
provide
personal
accountability
and
to
make
officers
humanize
who
they
are
working
with.
I
Additionally,
we
believe
having
a
great
assessment
and
understanding
of
the
community's
history.
Biases
and
gender
identity
implemented
during
their
screening
and
training
process,
is
essential
by
employing
lgbtqia
plus
supportive
orgs
to
create
this
curriculum
and
increasing
the
funding
or
creation
of
these
friendly
spaces.
We
believe
that
officers
minds
can
be
changed
through
education,
akin
to
the
lgbtqia
plus
space.
We
also
believe
in
improving
byproduct
relations
with
sjpd.
I
Most
officers
actually
don't
reside
in
san
jose
is
what
we
youth
found
and
that
there's
an
over
representation
of
white
individuals
in
the
police
force,
which
affects
the
police
force's
entire
mindset.
So
we
want
to
have
an
impacted
family's
roundtable
which
emphasizes
the
voices
of
those
impacted
by
carceral
systems
and
those
affected
by
police
brutality.
I
Next,
we
want
to
reallocate
officer
identities
to
identity,
specific
areas,
keeping
diversity
and
ethnic
clusters
in
mind,
for
example,
with
a
large
amount
of
the
asian
american
and
latin
population
living
in
east
side
san
jose.
We
believe
it
is
best
if
there
are
latin
and
asian
american
officers
that
patrol
these
areas,
because
they
actually
know
how
their
community
lives
and
works.
J
So
next
we
wanted
to
talk
more
about
what
the
police
force
can
do
with
our
community,
and
I
also
wanted
to
highlight
that
this
section
or
our
entire
presentation
is
completely
separate
from
the
general
rips
board.
But
a
lot
of
our
ideas
definitely
overlapped.
So
I'll
just
highlight
a
couple
of
points
as
we
move
along.
B
K
K
Okay,
so
they're
saying
the
same
slides,
so
these
slides
are
part
of
the
overall
report.
So
did
we
so
will
they
be
posted
as
part
of
what's
in
granicus,
so
we
can
follow
along
that
way,
or
should
we
be
following
along
in
the
report.
E
These,
the
youth
council,
slides,
are
actually
all
part
of
the
they're.
All
part
of
the
pages
in
the
final
report.
M
C
Me
angel
yeah
mayor.
What
we'll
do
is
we'll
we'll
make
sure
that
this
gets
posted
online.
For
now,
I
believe
the
the
powerpoint
presentation
is
following
the
report
that
that
is
in
the
there's
in
the
packet,
not
not
so
much
the
powerpoint,
but
we
will
make
sure
that
the
we'll
reach
out
and
work
with
the
rips
group
and
get
it
posted
online.
I
B
J
Yeah,
so
we'll
just
wrap
this
up
quickly.
If
you
just
want
to
go
through,
we
just
wanted
to
urge
that
we
wanted
more
mental.
Like
we
wanted
resources
invested
in
a
mental
health
response.
Generally,
we
want
to
ensure
that
the
right
person
is
deployed
for
the
right
response.
We
want
the
right
person
for
the
right
response,
so
that's
what
we're
kind
of
talking
about
here
with
mental
health
response.
J
J
J
And
you
can
also
go
to
the
next
one
for
hiring
and
recruitment
as
well
similar
to
what
the
general
reps
council
was
saying,
with
mental
health
screenings
and
racial
bias,
screenings
and
next
slide,
and
also
having
ethnic
studies
available
or
paying
for
associates
degrees
and
bachelor's
degrees
for
officers
as
well.
And
next.
One.
I
Next,
we
have
our
other
youth
rips
council
member,
alex
presenting
on
alternative
systems.
B
G
Really
urge
the
city.
I
To
take
into
account
what
both
of
the
rips
councils
have
shown,
if
we
have
enough
in
the
police
budget
to
be
buying
military
grade
helicopters
and.
I
You
know
santa
the
city
of
san
jose
could
be
a
leader
in
terms
of
having
a
like
revolutionary
public
safety
system
in
place
to
be
making
sure
that
people's
basic
needs
are
met
and
that
people
can
reach
their
full
potential
and
the
recommendations
that
have
been
given
are
a
way
to
do
that.
I
This
has
from
that.
Thank
you
so
much
mayor
and
council
for
listening
to
the
youth
council's
presentation
and
we're
open
alongside
the
adult
reps
committee,
to
taking
any
questions
that
you
may
have.
B
Thank
you
very
much
thanks
to
all
the
members
of
the
youth
commission
as
well
as
I'm
sorry,
not
the
youth
commission.
Forgive
me
youth
rips
as
well
as,
of
course,
all
the
members
of
the
community,
both
the
reimagining
public
safety
community
advisory
committee
and
the
charter
review
commission
public
safety
to
the
commission
that
made
the
public
safety
recommendations.
A
N
N
My
black
nephew
was
risked
by
police
for
the
very
first
time
when
he
was
13
a
child
on
a
playground
perceived
as
dangerous
by
a
legal
system
that
is
white
supremacist
by
design.
In
addition
to
my
concern
for
the
safety
of
us
all,
it
is
his
safety.
That
is
why
I
strongly
support
the
recommendations
outlined
here
by
the
reimagining
public
safety
community
advisory
committee.
N
O
Hello,
my
name
is
tamara
hall,
I'm
a
member
of
the
racial
equity
and
community
safety
committee
of
sacred
heart.
I
also
was
a
representative
for
that
committee
on
the
reimagining
public
safety
committee,
so
this
community-led
process
definitely
allows
us
to,
as
you
saw
from
the
youth
council
and
also
the
members,
to
really
hear
from
the
community
with
all
the
community
listening
sessions,
do
the
research
and
put
forth
these
recommendations,
and
all
of
these
outlined,
I
think,
are
common
sense
ideas
and
really
we
need
to
let
this
sink
in
everything.
O
In
the
report
you,
I
believe
you
should
have
let
those
the
youth
members
you
know,
sam,
you
should
have
let
them
continue
with
their
presentation.
It
was
only
a
few
more
minutes.
O
O
Things
we've
witnessed
things
we've
been
become
aware
of
more
recently,
specifically
in
light
of
all
of
those
system-impacted
people,
as
well
as
people
who
face
police
brutality
and
the
san
jose
state
human
rights
council
surveyed
about
1500
people,
and
I
helped
out
and
conducted
these
surveys
as
well
about
80
percent
of
people
said
that
they
wanted
to
see
alternatives
to
policing
in
the
community.
We
really
need
to
think
about
what
how
much
is
at
stake?
O
Not
just
your
votes,
but
really
how
much
do
we
really
want
to
put
belief
into
the
people
who
put
all
the
work
into
this
reimagining
public
safety
report?
The
youth,
the
members
of
our
community
have
been
impacted,
our
black
community,
our
latino
community.
For
me
as
a
black
and
mexican
woman,
this
is
what's
most
important
thinking
about
the
future
thinking
about
our
most
vulnerable
populations.

Hi,
my
name
is
elizabeth
and
I'm
a
member
of
the
race,
equity
and
community
safety
committee
at
sacred
heart.
I
am
in
strong
support
of
the
recommendations
outlined
by
the
reimagining
public
safety
and
community
advisory
committee
recommendations,
because
rip
rips
has
put
forward
a
thoughtful
report
with
real
solutions
for
making
our
community
safer.
For
all.
N
We
remember
the
commitments
we
made
in
2020
to
address
racial
inequalities
and
how
we
keep
our
communities
safe.
We
have
taken
the
time
to
develop
solutions.
The
community
demands
that
we
act
now:
the
sjsu
human
rights
council,
people's
budget
surveyed
around
1500
san
jose
residents
and
found
that
across
demographic
categories,
san
jose
residents,
overwhelmingly
support
adopting
alternatives
to
policing
between
70
to
82
percent,
support
for
non-police
approaches
to
managing
mental
health
crisis
traffic
safety,
school
safety
and
the
needs
of
the
city's
on
house
population.
N
On
behalf
of
rex,
we
demand
that
the
city
council
direct
city
administration
to
work
with
the
community
to
further
develop
and
implement
the
rifts
recommendations.
We
look
forward
to
hearing
your
decision
on
this
matter
and
look
forward
to
working
towards
a
better
san
jose
where
everyone
truly
feels
safe.
Thank
you.
P
P
P
Please
give
extra
weight
to
this
report
as
we
know
that
true
expertise
lies
with
those
who
have
experienced
these
struggles
every
day
we
see
our
unhoused
mentally
ill,
previously
incarcerated
and
low-income
clients
being
affected
by
the
way
san
jose
handles
public
safety.
Non-Profit
professionals
are
better
equipped
to
respond
to
homelessness
and
mental
health.
Related
calls
people
exiting
jail
should
not
exit
into
homelessness.
P
G
Yes,
my
name
is
nihar,
my
pronouns
are
they
them,
and
I'm
a
member
of
the
race,
equity
and
community
safety
committee
at
sacred
heart
or
rex?
For
short,
I
am
in
strong
support
of
the
recommendations
outlined
by
the
reimagining
public
safety,
advisory
committee
or
rips
recommendations,
because
rips
has
put
forward
a
thoughtful
report
with
real
solutions
for
making
our
community
safer
for
all.
In
2020,
we
heard
city
council
make
broad
promises
to
enact
real
change
the
scope
of
power
that
sjpd
has,
and
now
is
the
time
for
you
to
deliver
on
those
promises.
G
We
have
seen.
Police
violence
continue
despite
those
promises,
and
we
have
not
seen
root
causes
actually
centered.
In
these
conversations,
issues
like
how
homelessness
is
criminalized,
how
mental
health
crises
are
criminalized,
how
drug
use
is
criminalized
and
how
sjpd
is
far
too
intertwined
in
our
communities
and
trust
our
communities
are
watching.
G
Rips
was
a
community-led,
community-centered
process
and
has
now
taken
time
to
develop
solutions.
Community
demands
that
we
act
now.
The
san
jose
state
university,
human
rights
council,
people's
budget
surveyed
1500
san
jose
residents
and
found
77
77
percent
of
people
think
policing
san
jose
has
problems
with
the
majority
of
residents
surveyed
agreeing.
There
are
serious
problems
needing
major
reforms.
On
behalf
of
rex,
we
demand
that
the
city
council
direct
city
administration
to
work
with
the
community
to
further
develop
and
implement
the
rips
recommendations.
K
Good
evening,
I'm
catherine
hedges
resident
estate
3
also
a
member
of
surge
supporting
the
rex
committee
of
sacred
heart
community
service,
I'm
in
strong
support
of
the
rep's
recommendations,
because
rips
has
put
forward
a
thoughtful
report
with
real
solutions
for
making
our
communities
safer
for
all,
we
need
to
treat
rec
causes
a
crime,
so
we
can
prevent
wrong.
Do
I
not
punish
after
it
happens?
K
K
Let's
expand
efforts
like
that
and
also
provide
adequate
rehab
for
people
trapped
in
substance,
abuse
to
help
break
the
cycle
of
crime
and
punishment
and,
as
others
mentioned
across
demographic
categories,
san
jose
residents,
overwhelmingly
support
adopting
alternatives
to
policing
with
between
72
and
82
percent.
Support
for
non-police
approaches
to
manage
mental
health
prices,
traffic
safety,
school
safety
and
the
needs
of
the
city's
and
house
population.
K
A
Q
Q
Some
of
my
neighbors
experience,
acute
episodes
of
psychosis
or
delusions
that
are
temporary,
but
can
be
frightening,
violent
and
injurious
to
themselves
and
others
forced
institutionalization
and
sedation
has
become
obsolete
and
policing
and
isolation
in
prison
does
not
make
sense
for
the
mentally
ill.
The
opportunity
to
move
forward
the
evolution
of
a
quality,
alternative
solution
for
care
lies
in
the
consideration
of
this
report.
Q
I
encourage
the
council
to
please
accept
this
report
for
consideration
as
a
step
forward
into
a
future
of
non-violent
program-oriented
and
preventive
caregiving
solutions
for
the
mentally
ill,
so
that
their
lives
may
be
enhanced
by
excellence
in
care
rather
than
extinguished
by
trauma
and
isolation.
Thank
you.
A
Hello,
my
name
is
mercedes,
with
sacred
heart
community
service
and
I'm
here,
because
I
care
for
my
community.
I
live
in,
and
I'm
committed
to
race,
racial
justice,
I'm
also
a
mother
to
two
kids
in
our
local
public
school
districts,
and
these
topics
are
dear
to
my
heart
and
how
I'm
raising
my
girls.
A
I
strongly
support
the
recommendations
outlined
by
this
committee.
These
recommendations
not
only
make
sense,
but
they
address
real
solutions
for
making
our
communities
safer
for
all.
In
the
past,
we
have
made
commitments
to
address
racial
inequities,
and
this
is
the
perfect
example
on
how
to
put
that
commitment
to
action.
A
The
committee
took
the
time
to
develop
real
solutions.
They
heard
from
us
directly
and
allowed
our
voices
to
be
heard
in
the
community
serve
survey
mentioned
already.
77
percent
of
people
think
that
policing
in
san
jose
has
real
problems
they
needing
major
reform,
and
currently
we
only
need
to
see
it
on
the
news
as
well
to
admit
that
even
our
police
officers
are
not
exempt
from
real
mental
health
crisis
and
addictions,
so
more
is
needed.
This
is
why
residents
overwhelmingly
support
adopting
alternatives
to
policing.

Hello
marin,
town
council,
my
name
is
rob
moore
and
I'm
a
proud
member
of
the
real
coalition,
I'm
a
non-profit
manager
and
an
active
community
member
as
a
community.
We
ask
our
law
enforcement
professionals
to
tackle
every
social
challenge
from
homelessness
to
mental
health
crises,
to
addiction,
to
substance
abuse
when
there
are
often
others
in
san
jose
who
are
better
equipped
to
handle
these
situations.
G
A
N
Hi
I'm
crystal
calhoun.
I
am
the
elder
leader
of
the
san
jose
unified
equity
coalition
and
I'm
a
part
of
the
rex,
and
I
I
really
ask
you
guys
to
really
really
consider
and
support
the
rips
meaning
of
how
we're
going
to
police,
because
policing
in
san
jose
it's
unbelievable,
what's
happening
here
and
then
what
I
want
to
bring
up
when
they're
talking
about
the
funding
is
that
I
watch
the
news
I
know
I
read
is
that
san
jose's
police
budget
has
they
have
been
over
budget
for
10
years.
The
officers
go
unchecked.
N
They
can
work
as
much
as
they
want
nobody's
asking
them.
Why
are
you
working
all
that
overtime
and
then
I'm
a
part
of
the
san
jose
unified
equity
coalition
and
we're
in
the
san
jose,
unified
school
district
and
they're,
the
biggest
pro
police
district?
Basically
in
san
jose,
they
allowed
it
220
000
almost
to
spend
it
on
having
cops
on
campus,
which
they
can't
explain
to
us.
Why
and
they
spent
like
34
on
mental
health.
N
We
need
more
mental
health,
we
need
more
social
workers,
we
need
more
racial
justice
and
on
the
unhoused
mayor,
it's
unbelievable.
I've
been
living
here
almost
49
years
and
the
unhoused
here
in
silicon
valley.
It's
unbelievable,
it's
unbelievable
how
sad
I
live
out
in
the
center
monterey
and
all
of
that,
it's
unbelievable
how
sad
it
is,
and
it
doesn't
have
to
be
that
way,
like
everybody
said,
rather
than
locking
people
up
with
issues
and
all
that,
let's
give
them
some
social
help,
let's
get
them
some
housing,
affordable,
housing.
N
A
L
Hi,
claire
beekman
thanks
a
lot
for
this
item
and
for
the
reports
from
everyone.
I
guess
I
should.
I
should
note
from
the
previous
item
of
gun
control
issues
and
what
the
previous
speaker
just
spoke
about.
It
is
nice
what
actually
many
people
spoke
about
tonight.
It
would
be
nice
to
how
we
can
develop.
You
know
the
community
process
at
this
time.
You
know
caring
community
practices
that
address
mental
health.
Address
crime,
invite
invite
crime.
You
know
people
who
are
committing
crime
to
the
process.
L
How
do
we
invite
people
who
are
committing
crimes
to
this
process?
So
they
don't
feel
they
have
to
commit
crimes
so
much
and
they
can
participate
more
in
the
community
process.
We've
had
the
events
of
9
11.
You
know
the
california
wildfires
of
2018
the
incidents
with
kovid.
You
know
where
the
origins
of
covid
our
government
is
not
coming
through
for
us
very
well.
L
I
think
we're
an
important
new
time
to
define
to
better
define
the
future
of
a
republic
in
terms
of
the
community
democratic
process,
so
we're
doing
that
here
and
you
made
some
really
important
good
steps
and
thank
you
immensely
for
that
in
oakland,
right
now,
they're
actually
working
on
the
future
of
editing
of
body
camera
footages
by
police
and
how
that
can
be
a
more
shared
process
with
the
community.
L
How
do
we
create
a
more
equal
community
process
between
all
of
the
community
and
its
government,
and
it's
not
just
a
process
of
government
dictates
anymore.
It
is
a
real
process
of
learning
democracy.
Good
luck!
How
we're
doing
this
now!
I
think
we're
doing
important
good
work.
I
hope
we
can
keep
it
up.
Thank
you.
A
Q
Just
listening
to
them
gave
me
hope,
and
I
agree
with
tomorrow.
We
should
have
listened
to
the
youth
till
the
end.
I
strongly
support
the
recommendations
of
the
ritz
committee
and
the
youth
council.
This
report
is
hopeful
and
thoughtful
and
obviously
the
result
of
tons
of
work
and
tons
of
input
from
across
the
community
and
especially
folks,
most
affected.
Q
Q
A
Q
I
I
kind
of
came
in
in
the
middle
of
the
presentation,
but
I
can
appreciate
the
work
that
the
youth
council
had
done,
but
I
I
think
what
needs
to
be
done
and
as
far
as
my
opinion
is
that
they
they
need
to
have
a
little
bit
more
life
experience,
get
a
job
pay
taxes
understand
how
the
system
works,
the
the
things
that
I've
I've
heard
and
I'm
sure
you
and
the
city
council
heard
ad
nauseam.
Regarding
these
recommendations.
Q
You
know
you
have
to
deal
with
with
the
reality
of
the
bargaining
group.
In
this
case,
it
would
be
the
poa
and
they're
forced
to
be
reckoned
with,
as
you
know,
so,
a
lot
of
these
things
are
a
lot
of
to
me
and
and
no
disrespect,
but
it
sounds
like
fantasy
a
lot
of
these
things
that
you
know
we
say
that
well,
we
don't
want
certain
things
to
happen
again,
so
we're
trying
to
prevent
these
things,
but
a
lot
of
these
things
shouldn't
have
happened
in
the
first
place.
Q
First
of
all,
we
need
to
deal
with
before
we
hire
more
police
officers.
We
need
to
deal
with
what
what's
current,
what
we
currently
have
now
in
the
past
couple
weeks,
we've
had
a
fentanyl
case:
we've
had
working
while
intoxicated
and
most
recently
we
had
a
police
officer
pleasure
himself
while
on
duty.
Please
work
with
that.
First,
thanks.
A
G
Hi,
my
name
is
wesley,
so
first
thing
I
want
to
say
is
that
everyone
is
paying
taxes
that
they're
over
the
age
of
18..
So
I
don't
want
that
to
be
like
a
special
day
that,
like
only
one
person
in
the
whole
city,
is
paying
taxes
and
supporting
everyone.
I
also
want
to
thank
the
youth
for
coming
out
for
doing
this
work
for
being
able
to
step
up
and
take
the
time
to
really
present.
G
G
G
So
I
just
want
to
say
that
I
I
do
understand
I
partially
agree
with
brad.
The
things
that
are
happening
should
not
be
happening.
We
had
someone
shot
by
police
after
they
had
de-escalated
an
incident
with
an
armed
person,
and
then
they
got
almost
murdered
by
the
police
themselves.
So
I
do
think
we
need
to
take
some
accountability
and
really
look
at
what
is
happening
in
our
systems
because
they
are
not
serving
us.
They
haven't
been
serving
us
for
decades.
They've
been
out
of
order.
G
I
just
think
that
at
this
point
there
is
the
access
to
social
media.
Cameras
are
everywhere
and
we
are
able
to
really
witness
it.
Thank
you
for
my
time
I
yield.
M
And
thank
you
good
evening,
mayor
and
council
members.
Silicon
valley,
independent
living
center,
is
very
much
in
support
of
this
report.
We've
signed
on
to
the
letter
showing
our
support
and
certainly
looking
at
the
inequities
that
are
around
us.
We
need
to
look
at
the
human
being
the
human
factor
who
is
standing
in
front
of
you
who
is
sitting
in
front
of
you.
We
need
to
recognize
that
disability
crosses
all
strata
of
ability
and
disability,
age,
gender,
race
and
ethnicity.
M
L
Good
evening,
mayor
licardo
and
members
of
the
city
council,
I'm
richard
kahn,
the
executive
director
of
asian
law
lines
and
a
member
of
the
real
coalition.
I
strongly
and
emphatically
support
the
recommendations
outlined
by
the
reimagining
public
safety
community
advisory
committee
rips,
because
these
recommendations
are
very
insightful
and
provide
real
solutions
for
making
our
community
safer
law
enforcement
is
asked
to
confront
every
social
challenge
we
face
like
homelessness,
mental
illness,
addiction,
domestic
violence.
Wouldn't
it
be
better
to
match
the
right
professional
to
the
situation
so
that
people
in
crisis
get
the
help
that
they
deserve.
L
This
is
important
to
asian
law
allies,
because
we
have
seen
too
many
cases
when
community
members
with
mental
health
issues
end
up
dead
when
police
are
called
to
respond
to
a
9-1-1
call.
We
urge
the
council
to
direct
the
city
administration
to
work
with
community-based
partners
to
further
develop
and
implement
the
rip's
recommendations.
Thank
you
very
much.
I
yield
the
rest
of
my
time.

it's

report.
M
In
addition
to
the
recommendations
in
the
report,
we
urge
that
the
city
of
san

increase
its
investment
in

programming
mayor

recently
spoke
to
the
need
to
increase
prevention
and
intervention
efforts
at
a
recent
rules
meeting
we
agree
and
we
recommend
that
something
like
doubling
or
tripling
the
city's
investment
in
best
services
in
fiscal
year.
2023
budget
would
be
a
great
start
and
we'd
urge
the
city

to
accept
the

Add
resources
to
the
budget
to
implement
the
highest
priority
recommendations
and
make
a

to
implement
the

A
Q
Hi,
my
name
is
madison,
I'm
a
member
of
rex
at
sacred
heart,
and
I
strongly
support
the
recommendations.
Four
years
ago
I
was
charged
by
police
for
drug
possession.
Despite
this
charge,
I
continued
to
be
involved
with
the
system.
I
didn't
have
a
job
and
I
cycled
between
hospitals
and
even
homelessness.
At
one
point
in
2020,
in
a
town
outside
california,
I
got
tied
up
with
a
police
officer
that
could
have
charged
me
with
possession
resulting
in
felony.
Q
Instead,
he
saw
that
I
was
clearly
sick
and
spent
over
two
hours,
helping
me
get
into
a
rehab
since
the
day
I
left
rehab.
I
continue
to
stay
clean
and
am
now
100
self-sufficient,
have
a
full-time
job
and
go
to
ucla,
but
most
significantly,
I
have
never
had
any
more
interactions
with
the
police,
since
getting
my
help
for
addiction
being
criminally
charged
for
drug
possession
did
not
help
me
stop
my
addiction
and
the
crimes
that
went
along
with
it
and
that's
the
case
with
most
addicts
in
the
system.
Q
It
wasn't
until
the
officer
got
me
connected
to
the
right
professional,
where
all
my
root
issues
were
treated,
and
I
was
able
to
change
the
course
of
my
life.
For
this
reason,
I'm
in
strong
support
of
the
recommendations
which
seek
solutions
to
homelessness
and
addiction.
Instead
of
criminalizing
and
further
perpetuating
it,
we
need
to
start
treating
the
root
causes
of
crime,
so
we
can
prevent
wrongdoing
and
not
punish
it.
Thank
you.
A
A
Good
evening
my
name
is
erin
stanton.
I
work
at
sacred
heart
community
service
and
I
am
here
tonight
because
of
my
commitment
to
racial
justice.
I
am
in
strong
support
of
the
recommendations
outlined
by
the
reimagining
public
safety
community
advisory
committee.
They
have
put
forward
a
thoughtful
report
with
real
solutions
for
making
our
communities
safer
for
all
this
community-led
process.
Centered
the
voices
of
people
impacted
by
current
public
safety
practices
and
surfaced
key
issues
for
reform.
A
We
need
to
treat
root,
causes
of
crime
so
that
we
can
invest
in
making
our
community
better
and
prevent
wrongdoing,
not
punish
it
after
it
happens.
This
is
important
to
me
because
I
care
about
the
well-being
and
the
safety
of
my
community
it's
time
to
take
action
to
make
our
community
safer
for
all
of
us
and
all
of
our
neighbors.
A
Q
I
am
in
strong
support
of
the
recommendations
outlined
by
the
reimagining
public
safety
committee,
as
mentioned
earlier
in
the
comments,
the
san
jose
state
university,
human
rights
council,
people's
budget
surveyed,
1500
san
jose
residents
and
found
they
overwhelmingly
support,
adopting
alternatives
to
policing,
with
between
72
to
82
percent
of
residents,
supporting
non-police
approaches
to
managing
mental
health
crises,
traffic
safety
and
the
needs
of
our
unhoused
neighbors
police
are
not
trained
to
be
social
workers
or
crisis.
Counselors.
Q
An
armed
police
officer,
responding
to
someone
in
crisis,
can
be
very
triggering
escalating
situations
rapidly
and
far
too
often
with
deadly
results.
We've
seen
this
in
san
jose
with
the
police
officers.
Ending
the
life
of
anthony
nunez
police
are
trained
to
respond
to
situations
with
force
first
meaning
their
primary
go-to
is
to
force
compliance.
Q
K
Thank
you.
My
name
is
ihoma
umazi.
I
serve
as
director
of
compassion
and
justice
ministries
at
the
river
church
community
and
I'm
also
a
member
of
the
packed
beloved
community
team
and
in
these
various
capacities
I
was
able
to
serve
as
part
of
the
reps
committee.
I
want
to
underscore
that
I
am
a
person
of
faith.
I
believe
that
every
person
is
made
in
the
image
of
a
creator,
god
that
loves
them
and
that
every
person,
regardless
of
their
faith,
their
creed,
is
worthy
of
dignity,
honor,
love
and
respect.
K
I
wonder
if
you
believe
that-
and
the
question
is,
does
sjpd
believe
this
does
sjpd
practice
this?
The
testimony
that
I've
heard
from
community
members
the
various
reports
from
the
listening
sessions,
not
just
in
the
eight
months
of
the
reimagining
public
safety
committee,
but
even
the
years
prior,
is
that
sjpd
does
not
our
committees.
Our
communities
are
calling
for
sjpd
to
serve
and
protect
the
residents
of
san
jose
and
uphold
the
sacred
image
that
each
of
us
bear.
K
Our
communities
have
been
calling
for
an
end
to
racism
and
sexism
misogyny
xenophobia,
police,
brutality,
homophobia,
islamophobia,
transphobia.
All
of
these
are
just
maybe
just
skimming
the
scandals
plaguing
our
city,
the
reimagining
public
safety
committee's
work
has
been
comprehensive
and
it's
not
just
reforms
for
sjpd,
but
it's
alternatives
to
police
crime,
prevention,
accountability
and
transparency
and
they've
helped
to
identify
the
correct
professionals
for
each
situation,
which
is
a
holistic
picture
of
public
safety.
So
I
urge
the
city
council
to
move
with
all
possible
haste
to
adopt
and
implement
these
recommendations.
A
R
Hello,
my
name
is
philip,
with
sacred
heart
community
service,
and
I'm
here
because
of
my
commitment
to
racial
justice.
Policing
in
our
community
needs
to
change.
Rips
is
community,
led
by
those
most
impacted
by
the
current
law
enforcement
practices
here
in
san
jose
through
our
collective
experiences
and
voices.
Rips
believes
in
common
sense
it's
time
for
the
right
experts
for
the
right
situations
regarding
people
experiencing
houselessness,
drug
use,
issues
and
mental
health
incidents,
and
there
needs
to
be
a
focus
on
prevention,
not
punishment,
to
build
a
stronger,
safer
and
more
productive.
R
San
jose
police
should
handle
serious
criminal
issues,
but
we
need
to
invest
in
addressing
the
conditions
that
make
our
communities
less
safe.
In
the
first
place.
Last
month,
the
guardian
reported
that
u.s
police
has
killed
nearly
600
people
in
traffic
stops
since
2017..
How
many
of
those
happened
here?
How
many
more
can
we
protect
a
2015
report
by
the
treatment
advocacy
center
found
that
one
in
four
people
killed
by
police
have
severe
mental
illness?
How
many
of
those
happen
here?
R
A
M
My
earliest
encounters
with
the
police
was,
with
my
uncle
a
retired
sergeant
from
the
san
jose
police
department
and
my
mother
said
to
his
brother.
You
know
I
can't
continue
to
have
my
children
around
you
as
you
spew
these
racist
sentiments
at
holidays
and
encounters.
I
love
you,
brother
I'll,
stay
with
you,
but
I
can't
expose
you
to
that.
Well,
I
grew
up
in
this
activist
family
and
little
did.
M
I
know
that
ultimately,
I'd
become
a
mother
of
black
sons,
both
of
whom
had
negative
experiences
with
the
san
jose
police
department
and
that
I
filed
complaints
and
I've.
You
know
longed
for
the
day
of
more
accountability
for
policing
systems.
In
fact,
when
trump
was
inaugurated
and
there
was
the
the
march
there
was
also
at
the
mexican
heritage-
plaza
work
on
oversight.
So
I'm
glad
that
the
community
engagement
involvement
that
I've
been
involved
in.
Since
I
was
a
kid
and
I'm
now.
A
M
M
Many
of
our
non-profit
staff
at
pfs
have
directly
experienced
unnecessary,
traumatic
incidents
related
to
the
san
jose
police
department.
This
impacts
peninsula
family
service
and
are
my
staff's
ability
to
do
their
job
and
serve
this
community.
This
community-led
process
and
these
recommendations
will
make
everyone
in
the
city
safer.
This
is
your
community
speaking
to
you.
This
is
your
you
speaking
to
you.
Please
listen.
This
presentation
was
terrific
and
these
recommendations
are
thoughtful
and
community
based.
M
A
R
Hi,
my
name
is
father
john
pettigo,
I'm
with
catholic
charities,
I'm
a
member
of
the
racial
equity
action
leadership
coalition
that
works
to
advance
racial
justice
and
equity
in
our
community.
R
I'm
in
strong
support
of
the
recommendations
outlined
by
reimagining
public
safety
committee
advisory
committee
rips,
because
rips
has
put
forward
a
thoughtful
report
with
real
solutions
for
making
our
community
safer
for
all.
My
catholic
charities
team
is
concerned
that
law
enforcement
as
it
stands
now
is
compelled
to
tackle
every
social
challenge
that
we
face
as
you've
heard
what
it
was
all
the
different
kinds
of
things
that
are
going
on.
R
We
believe
that
police
resources
should
be
redirected
to
agencies
and
other
mental
health
and
community
support
professionals
who
are
specifically
trained
to
address
people
in
crisis,
stabilize
them
and
help
navigate
them
to
get
the
sort
the
help
that
they
need,
so
they
use
a
healing
and
therapeutic
frame
for
support.
Secondly,
rather
than
using
the
blunt
instrument
of
incarceration,
we
need
to
address
root
causes
of
crime
so
that
we
can
prevent
wrongdoing,
not
punish
what
comes
after.
R
A
Q
Q
Q
We
need
to
treat
root,
causes
of
crime
to
prevent
wrongdoing,
not
punishment
after
it
happens,
which
is
shown
to
disproportionately
harm
and
impact
the
african
african
ancestry
community.
I
urge
the
council
to
direct
city
administration
to
work
with
community-based
partners
to
further
develop
and
implement
the
rip's
recommendations.
Thank
you.
A
H
Teacher
a
voter
in
district
one,
a
homeowner
as
well.
I
invite
you
to
follow
the
recommendations
of
the
advisory
committee,
I'm
really
proud
of
our
council
and
our
mayor.
Thank
you
for
leaning
on
the
community
through
the
advisory
committee
and
for
making
the
council
meetings
hybrid.
This
is
one
way,
of
course,
of
dismantling
white
supremacy
when
we
invite
more
folks
onto
the
table
in
this
matter,
and
so
with
those
folks
and
our
voices,
we
are
saying
that
we
want
alternatives
to
policing.
H
I
understand
the
cynicism.
There
has
been
no
real
data
on
alternatives.
Policing
is
all
that
we
have
known,
and
it's
just
not
working
for
everyone.
It
takes
bold
action
by
leaders
such
as
yourselves
to
create
real
change
with
two
young
babies.
I
would
feel
more
safe,
knowing
my
community,
my
neighbors
and
myself
will
be
offered
the
help
we
may
need
in
times
of
crisis.
H
We
have
all
heard
and
read
what
the
mental
health
crisis
that
we
are
under
that
has
only
been
made
worse
by
the
pandemic.
So
again,
I
invite
you
to
please
follow
the
recommendations
given
by
the
advisory
committee
and
our
youth
in
making
san
jose
safer
for
everyone.
Thank
you
so
much.
I
yield
my
time.
O
Hi
everyone,
my
name,
is
liz.
I
live
in
district
3
and
I
am
a
founding
member
of
the
race
equity
community
safety
committee,
and
I
am
also
going
to
strongly
urge
council
to
follow
the
recommendations
from
the
rips
committee.
As
a
member
of
rex,
I
was
out
in
the
streets
talking
to
community
members,
while
collecting
survey
responses
about
community
safety.
There
was
a
lot
of
people
who
didn't
know
a
lot
of
things
and
just
talking
with
them
about
the
way
that
we
pay
police
and
the
way
that
we
fund
our
different
programs.
O
There
was
a
lot
of
discontent
among
our
community
members,
so
these
recommendations
are
coming
from
the
community
and
they
will
only
prove
to
be
beneficial
over
time.
We
are
spending
far
too
much
money
on
law
enforcement
and
incarceration,
and
not
nearly
enough
on
community
care
programs,
and
I
haven't
forgotten
the
commitments
to
racial
equity
that
the
city
of
san
jose
made
in
2020.
So
I'm
going
to
urge
you
to
listen
to
our
community.
So
take
these
recommendations
and
your
responsibility
to
your
constituents
seriously.
I
yield
my
time.
A
J
Hello,
I'm
a
community
member
from
district
2
taxpayer
voter
and
about
to
close
on
my
first
home,
so
I
hope
to
be
here
a
while.
I
implore
recipient
leadership
here
and
implement
the
recommendation
made
by
brips
report
and
the
advisory
committees
and
to
be
a
part
of
the
change
and
not
to
be
the
regime
that
is
eroded
by
it.
San
jose
pd
is
not
the
right
to
department
to
handle
the
needs
of
the
people
of
san
jose.
J
J
The
fbi
says
that
these
are
violations
of
state
and
local
laws
that
do
not
include
offenses
against
property
people.
Gambling
drugs
weapons,
vice
crimes,
fraud,
arson,
serious
crimes
like
rape,
homicide
or
traffic
stops.
So
what
are
they?
What
are
these
arrests
made
with
no
transparency
or
oversight?
Is
it
not
a
way
for
pd
to
terrorize
the
community?
Are
these
those
suffering
with
mental
illnesses
as
they
are
not
included
in
the
data
points
sent
to
the
fbi?
J
The
second
highest
offense,
the
fourth,
is
drug
possession
at
3
128.,
we
are
seeing
a
trend.
Our
police
force
is
not
the
right
personnel
for
majority
of
our
crimes.
You've
heard
many
great
proposals
by
the
advisory
committee.
You've
heard
the
community
you've
heard
the
facts.
I
urge
you
to
be
a
part
of
the
change
and
to
act
on
it.
Thank
you
so
much.
I
yield
my
time.
M
A
Hello,
my
name
is
mia
veale
and
I
am
the
policy
and
advocacy
coordinator
for
the
african
american
community
service
agency.
I
support
the
recommendations
outlined
by
the
public
by
the
reimagining
public
safety
community
advisory
committee
and
I
hope
that
all
the
recommendations
can
be
moved
forward.
Our
communities
need
expansion
of
services
that
protect
and
better
our
neighborhoods.
A
A
N
Thank
you
hi.
My
name
is
lisa
mena
and
I
am
a
mental
health
rehabilitation
specialist,
I'm
also
a
youth
mental
health,
first
aid
instructor
and
a
member
in
the
santa
clara
county.
I've
also
worked
within
the
county,
the
last
15
years
between
some
primary
mental
health
agencies
and
contracting
more
contracting
with
the
county,
santa
clara
county
probation
department,
and
I
provide
victim
awareness
workshops
to
youth
offenders.
N
So
I
I
truly
believe
that,
in
order
for
us
to
be
able
to
make
impact
and
change
in
our
communities
is
through
community
listening
to
our
community
voices
and
bringing
community
members
who
have
these
one
lived
experiences
to
professional
experiences
working
directly
with
our
youth
population
directly
working
with
our
population.
N
A
B
Good
evening,
mayor,
licardo
and
council,
thank
you
so
much
for
receiving
and
hopefully
approving
the
receipt
of
this
report.
I'm
chad
bojorkas
with
destination
home,
and
I
was
on
the
rips
council
to
kind
of
be
a
liaison
to
the
unhoused.
B
I
would
say
one
theme
that
I
want
to
make
sure
to
share
is
that
by
and
large
folks
who
are
outdoors
want
the
police
to
be
there
for
their
public
safety,
just
like
anyone
else
in
our
community,
but
at
this
time
you
know
it
feels
very
adversarial
and
criminalized
to
be
homeless.
So
I
do
want
to
point
particular
attention
to
the
three
proposals
that
folks,
with
lived
experience
contributed
to
one
is
around
an
alternative
to
policing
for
mental
health
and
addiction
crises
that
are
on
our
streets.
B
B
There
are
many
circumstances
in
san
jose
where
it
is
frankly
illegal
just
to
be
outside
and
homeless,
and
that
contributes
to
a
vicious
cycle
that
just
makes
it
harder
to
house
folks
later
on
from
a
system
perspective
and
finally
preventing
exits
to
homelessness,
meaning
if
we
already
have
an
individual
in
the
criminal
justice
system.
Let's
do
everything
we
can
collectively
to
make
sure
that
they
we
don't
exit
people
back
into
homelessness
anyway,
as
always
destination
home,
and
the
lived
experience
advisory
board
are
here
to
help
support
the
implementation
of
these
recommendations.
Thank
you.
P
M
So
we
urge
you
to
support
the
recommendations
in
the
rips
report
so
that
we
can
create
a
stronger
community
because
strong
communities
lead
to
strong
families
and
children
and
the
better
experiences
that
children's
have
means
that
we
will
need
less
policing
and
less
services
down
the
road.
Thank
you.
A

Good
evening
my
name
is
elisa
kofkinsborg,
with
the
behavioral
health
contractors
association,
an
association
of
the
over
30
non-profits
that
provide
mental
health
substance
use
and
supportive
housing
services
as
part
of
our
county
safety
net.
I'm
also
a
member
of
the
racial
equity
action
leadership
coalition,
I'm
in
strong
support
of
the
recommendations
outlined
by
the
reimagining
public
safety
community
advisory
committee,
rips
recommendations,
recommendations
because
rips
has
put
forward
a
thoughtful
report
with
real
solutions
for
making
our
communities
safer.
M
We
ask
law
enforcement
to
tackle
every
social
challenge
we
face.
Many
are
not
criminal
in
nature,
but
are
rooted
in
issues
such
as
mental
health,
substance,
use,
homelessness,
truancy
or
family
conflict
in
cases
where
the
person
in
crisis
may
fear
or
not
trust
police.
The
situation
may
escalate
upon
seeing
an
officer
causing
additional
trauma
when
crisis
counselors
respond
to
an
individual
in
crisis.
That
person
is
more
likely
to
accept
help
and
the
crisis
de-escalates
and
often
the
crisis
counselor
is
able
to
follow
up.
M
We
need
to
match
the
right
professional
to
the
situation
so
that
people
in
crisis
get
the
help
they
need.
On
behalf
of
bhca
members,
we
urge
you
to
direct
city
administration
to
work
with
community-based
partners
to
further
develop
and
implement
the
recommendations,
and
we
are
ready
to
be
part
of
that
process.
Thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to.
A
A
Interrupt
and
rush
this
presentation-
the
re,
reimagining
public
safety
community
advisory
committee-
worked
really
hard
on
this
and
they
do
deserve
your
time
and
respect.
A
A
O
Not
school
name
changes.
I
really
hope
that
the.
F
A
A
J
P
P
I
am
in
strong
support
of
the
recommendations
outlined
by
the
rips
committee,
because
rips
has
put
forward
a
thoughtful
report
with
real
solutions
for
making
our
communities
safer
for
all.
This
process
was
by
community
for
community
and
centered
the
voices
of
people
impacted
by
current
public
safety
practices
and
systems
that
surface
key
issues
and
opportunities
for
reform.
P
As
a
disabled
resident
of
san
jose,
I
had
interactions
with
sjpd
as
a
mentally
ill
child,
where
I
struggled
with
suicidal
ideation
and
sjpd,
used
excessive
force
and
put
me
in
handcuffs
and
I'm
thinking
about
all
the
other
children
out
there
and
adults
who
are
mentally
ill
and
who
are
struggling
with
drug
addiction
who
need
real
help
and
instead
are
being
brutalized
by
police.
I
urge
the
city
to
listen
to
the
reimagining
public
safety
committee
and
put
forth
these
recommendations
and
put
them
in
practice
as
soon
as
possible.
Thank
you.

B
Hello,
my
name
is
eduardo
valedares
good
evening,
I'm
a
teacher
in
san
jose
for
14
years
and
born
and
raised
in
san
jose
43
parent
of
three
homeowner,
a
lot
of
things,
a
lot
of
roots
here
in
san
jose,
also
part
of
the
san
jose
unified
equity
coalition.
I
just
want
to
thank
the
city
council
for
hearing
this
insightful
data
and
transformative
plan.
I
I'm
on
all
support
for
the
reimagine
for
the
scripps
plan.
B
You
know
living
in
downtown
san
jose
I've.
I
lived.
I've
lived
all
my
life
here
in
downtown
san
jose
and
it's
a
highly
policed
area,
and
I
just
I
think,
we're
asking
too
much
from
police
officers.
I
think
I
really
feel
that
way.
I
feel
it
does
not
make
me
feel
any
safer.
I
feel
if
we
had
folks
again
the
professionals
that
could
really
help
and
support
the
folks
that
are
in
need.
I
think
we
would
open
some
things
up.
B
I
think
san
jose
and
the
silicon
valley
has
has
made
a
number
of
dreams
happen
for,
for
so
many
people,
and
I
think
what
we're
asking
here
is
to
open
up
that
dream
to
to.
So
many
of
the
people
that
that
do
deserve
a
chance
and
and
deserve
even
second
chances,
because
we
know
that
they
they're
going
to
be
vital
to
our
community
and
they
are
community
members
and
we
we
want
them
here
and
we
want
them
to
to.
You
know
do
well
here.
B
As
a
teacher,
I
I
see
you
know
as
a
person
who's
lived
here,
all
my
life,
I
I've
known,
you
know,
people
that
you
know
I've
gone
to
high
school
with
or
my
family
members
that
you
know
become
houseless,
and
I
wonder
what
are
the
services
that
could
have
been
provided
and
I
don't
want
to
demonize
anyone.
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
our
communities
are
served
best
and
this
plan
is
really.
B
You
know
helpful
to
create
a
transformative
san
jose
for
all
of
us,
so
we
could
all
thrive
and
become
a
better
city.
Thank
you.
R
In
support
of
what
may
be
adopted,
what
so
many
people
here
have
come
to
suggest
today,
this
it'd
be
the
benefit
of
san
jose
and
surrounding
cities.
If
san
jose
developed
a
commission
to
of
civilian
responders.
R
Cert
civilian
emergency
responders
that's
available
at
ready.gov,
a
lot
of
people.
We
have
training,
we're
volunteers,
we
have
certifications,
we
have
education,
we
will
work
for
you
for
free,
like
we
did
during
the
fires.
R
R
Everybody
on
this
call
is,
is
someone
who
will
work
for
your
city
for
free
when
there's
a
problem
they're
already
doing
it,
so
a
commission
to
a
hands-on
commission
to
help
organize
and
and
deploy
services
and
supplies
to
meet
needs
and
with
a
also
with
an
eye
on
the
environment.
Everything
gets
worse
during
a
mass
casualty
event,
a
natural
disaster,
a
fire
and
right
now
what
you
know.
R
What
the
council
doesn't
seem
to
realize
is
that
the
czu
fire
chiefs
and
directors
are
about
to
lose
access
into
some
of
the
open
spaces
and
redwood
forests.
Thanks.
A
M
Good
evening
my
name
is
olivia
bustamante
and
I'm
an
associate
director
over
at
sacred
heart
community
service
and
we're
an
organization.
That's
been
serving
your
city
since
1964.,
I'm
here
representing
a
base
of
about
45
000,
individual
people,
more
than
three
quarters
of
which
live
in
your
city
at
sacred
heart.
Our
commitment
is
to
addressing
both
the
symptoms
and
the
root
cause
of
poverty.
So
I
was
actually
really
pleased
to
review
how
comprehensive
the
community-based
rips
report
proved
to
be
look.
M
I
recognize
the
delicate
balance
that
you
constantly
teeter
on
as
public
officials
between
those
who
want
to
burn
the
whole
system
down
and
those
who
want
a
seat
at
the
table
to
negotiate
tangible
improvements
in
the
lives
of
all
people
who
live
and
work
here.
But
the
recommendations
that
you're
hearing
tonight
are
what
you've
been
waiting
for
you.
What
you
needed
was
the
political
cover
from
a
diverse
collaborative
network
of
your
constituents,
so
that
you
can
do
the
right
thing,
and
this
right
here
is
it.
M
The
rips
report
explores
over
40
proposals
that
can
be
more
effective,
efficient
and
equitable
strategies
to
make
our
community
safer,
rather
than
relying.
Then,
as
on
sjpd
to
serve
all
of
those
functions
for
everyone
all
the
time
and
what's
more,
our
rex
committee
of
those
with
lived
experience
on
these
issues
actually
see
a
really
clear
path
forward.
M
On
many
of
these
proposals
in
the
fall
now
you
and
I
both
know
that
around
campaign
season,
each
of
you
guys
come
knocking
on
our
neighborhood
doors,
to
remind
our
people
that
the
only
way
to
make
sure
that
these
kinds
of
community
driven
proposals
are
taken
seriously
is
if
our
elected
officials
hear
directly
from
us.
Well
here
you
go.
A
G
Yeah,
what's
good
everybody
jamal
williams,
I
co-chair
the
black
leadership
kitchen
cabinet,
I'm
part
of
rio.
I
live
in
san
jose.
I
work
at
san
jose
state,
I'm
committed
to
the
city,
and
I
was
on
the
rips,
the
rips
committee
we
put
in
a
ton
of
work.
We
worked
really
hard
props
to
the
the
youth
council.
G
And
said:
we're
actually
really
thoughtful
and
and
innovative.
I
think
that
you
know
we
pride
ourselves
in
san
jose
on
being
a
city
of
innovation.
So
let's
get
innovative
around
these
these
solutions
to
public
safety.
You
know
we
can
be
innovative
around
all
the
technology
that
we
can
conceive
but
seem
to
struggle
figuring
out
ways
to
be
innovative
around
taking
care
of
our
residents
and
providing
real
safety.
G
I
was
sitting
here
months
ago
with
all
of
you
all
on
the
city
council
advocating
for
this
process.
We
talked
y'all
voted
for
it,
and
so
this
is
what
we
came
up
with
after
months
of
work.
I
live
down
the
street
every
day
I
drive
down
the
street.
I
see
the
road
says
black
lives
matter.
I
see
the
signs
that
say
black
lives
matter
downtown.
G
We
haven't
done
anything
since
2020
around
police
reform
and
change
and
community
safety,
except
for
start
this
committee.
So
if,
if
these
messages
that
I'm
seeing
where
our
our
lives
and
our
community
matters
our
voices
matter,
then
the
voice
of
the
these
recommendations
need
to
matter
tonight.
So
you
all
asked
for
us
to
form
this
committee.
We
formed
it,
we
put
in
months
of
work,
multiple
recommendations.
G
Please
accept
them.
Thank
you.
A
G
I
am
in
strong
support
of
the
recommendations
outlined
by
the
reimagining
public
safety
committee,
because
rips
put
forward
this
thoughtful
report
with
real
solutions
for
making
our
community
safe.
This
community-led
process
has
been
commended
by
a
lot
of
folks
here
today,
and
I
think
it
can't
be
stressed
enough.
They
center
the
voices
of
people
impacted
by
current
public
safety
practices
and
surface
these
key
issues
and
opportunities
to
reform
them.
They
need
to
be
taken
seriously.
G
They
need
to
be
really
seen
as
like
the
gift
and
blueprint
for
justice
and
equity
in
our
city,
and
I
would
like
to
just
close
by
equating
the
sentiments
of
the
youth
council
presentation
before
it
was
cut
short
and
in
that
rush
section,
that
this
is
an
opportunity
for
san
jose
to
lead
and
what
it
means
to
reimagine
public
safety
here.
So
I
urge
the
council
to
direct
city
administration
to
work
with
these
community-based
partners
to
further
develop
and
implement
the
rip's
recommendations.
A
P

For
two
boys
who
go
to
san
jose
schools,
I
strongly
support
the
recommendation
outlined
in
the
reimagining
public
safety
report,
because
these
policies
and
solutions
will
create
a
community
in
which
everyone
is
safe,
including
our
unhoused
residents
and
those
who
struggle
with
mental
health
and
person
of
color.
The
recommendation
focuses
on
prevention,
safety
and
accountability.

A
My
name
is
adrian
travis
lopez
and
I'm
a
member
of
san
jose
strong,
I'm
in
strong
support
of
the
recommendations
outlined
by
the
reimagining
public
safety
community
advisory
committee
reps.
I
appreciate
the
recommendations
because
rips
has
put
forward
a
thoughtful
report
with
real
solutions
for
making
our
communities
safer.
This
is
a
community-led
process
that
center
the
voices
of
people
impacted
by
current
public
safety
practices.
A
Thank
you
to
all
the
committee
and
youth
committee,
especially
for
all
their
work.
We
need
to
treat
root,
causes
of
crime
so
that
we
can
prevent
wrongdoing,
not
punish
it.
After
it
happens,
we
need
programs
that
help
people
go
to
school,
get
a
job
and
get
housing.
We
need
to
provide
more
mental
health
crisis,
support
more
counseling
for
families
and
children
and
better
rehabilitation
services.
A
We
do
not
need
to
make
more
jails.
The
need
for
counseling
is
overwhelming,
and
people
suffering
from
mental
illness
should
be
removed
from
our
prisons
and
be
supported
by
the
mental
health
system.
We
need
therapeutic
communities
that
provide
people
and
families
with
resources
and
support.
Please
end
the
criminalization
of
homelessness.
We
need
crisis
councils
and
social
workers.
That's
what
we
should
be
investing
in.
We
remember
the
commitments
we
made
in
2020
to
address
racial
inequities
and
how
we
keep
our
communities
safe.
A
K
I
had
the
opportunity
to
witness
some
of
that
as
an
advisory
member
to
the
reps
committee,
and
I
do
want
to
speak
to
the
just
level
of
sheer
effort
that
was
put
in
by
so
many
of
the
organizers
and
and
and
so
many
of
the
members
on
both
of
those
groups,
and
I
would
also
like
to
thank
city
council
for
your
serious
consideration
of
the
rips
recommendations.
K
Indeed,
residents
showed
overwhelming
support
for
things
like
a
mental
health
crisis
team,
and
that
was
it
like
nearly
85
percent
resources
for
the
unhoused
well
over
70
and
resources
for
public
schools,
also
at
over
70
percent.
We
urge
that
you
take
the
findings
of
our
research
and
the
rips
recommendations
seriously
and
take
the
necessary
steps
to
fund
and
realize
their
implementation.
I
thank
you
again
and
yield
the
rest
of
my
time.
A
J
D
P
O'card,
thank
you,
mayor
ricardo
and
everybody.
I
just
want
to
bring.

L
Q
We
want
to
second
what
you've
heard
here
tonight
and
in
particular
I
wanted
to
underscore
what
you
heard
from
molly
macleod
say
about
her
hope
that
this
actually
results
in
something
meaningful,
and
I
see
that
as
a
way
of
highlighting
what
is
needed,
to
pave
the
way
for
real
solutions
and
to
highlight
one
piece
of
that.
That
is
particularly
important
to
me
and
ask
you
what
what
comes
next
after
you.
Q
Hopefully,
I
think,
bless
this
set
of
recommendations,
because
it
is
definitely
an
uphill
battle,
given
that
we
are
really
legitimately
reimagining,
and
that
is
really
really
hard.
So
I
one
of
the
things
I
wanted
to
ask,
or
or
just
say
that
is
most
important-
that's
needed
from
you
all
as
the
people
who
are
elected
to
be
liaisons
to
the
community,
so
that
we
can
get
our
brains
ready
to
reimagine
rest
in
how
we
actually
talk
about
these
issues.
And
so
I
just
wanted
to
highlight
the
wrong
way
to
talk
about.
Q
This
issue
is
kind
of
what
you
all
do
you
use
fear
you
play
off
our
emotions,
you
scare
us,
you
use
hype
and
propaganda
to
advance
a
fear-based
agenda
that
does
not
position
us
to
implement
real
solutions
and
I'm
not
saying
that
crime
does
not
exist
and
that
there's
nothing
to
be
afraid
of.
But
the
way
you
all
talk
about
crime
does
not
match
the
data
and
statistics
I
mean
if
I
listened
to
you
all.
Mpd
I'd
never
leave
my
home
because
I'd
be
too
scared
to
do
so.
So
please
stop
doing
that.
Q
A
N
Hello,
council,
members
and
mayor
lucardo,
my
name
is
kathy
cordova.
I'm
the
executive
director
of
recovery
cafe
san
jose.
I
am
here
to
urge
you
to
accept
the
recommendations
put
forward
in
the
rips
report
as
your
next
door.
Neighbor
at
recovery
cafe.
We
are
a
healing
community
for
those
who
have
experienced
trauma,
including
the
traumas
of
being
unhoused.
N
Especially
the
re-traumatization
of
interactions
with
the
criminal
justice
system,
the
process
that
the
reps
committee
used
was
community
centered.
As
a
member
of
the
real
coalition,
I
have
closely
followed
the
development
of
the
ripps
report.
We
ask
that
you
consider
non-police
responses
to
social
challenges
like
homelessness,
mental
illness,
addiction
and
family
violence.
My
staff
and
I
need
real
alternatives
to
calling
9-1-1
when
a
crisis
occurs.
N
O
N
Now
it's
time
to
make
good
on
those
commitments.
A
lot
of
speakers
have
made
a
lot
of
important
points.
I
want
to
echo
one
in
particular
that
we
need
to
find
ways
to
stop
criminalizing
homelessness
and
poverty.
It
doesn't
help
it
doesn't
work
being
arrested
and
incarcerated.
Just
pushes
people
even
deeper
into
poverty.
N
Once
you
get
out,
you
often
can't
get
a
driver's
license.
You
can't
find
a
home.
You
can't
get
a
job.
I
work
with
folks
like
that
every
day
and
they're
they're
stuck
because
of
that
one
experience
of
incarceration,
so
we
need
to
find
ways
to
break
this
cycle
by
addressing
the
root
causes
of
poverty
and
homelessness
and
not
pushing
those
onto
law
enforcement
and
expecting
that
we
can
deal
with
the
problem
by
locking
it
up.
Thank
you
for
this
effort
and
now,
let's
keep
going.
P
P
A
First,
I
want
to
say
the
mayor:
ricardo
really
wasn't
a
good
look
to
cut
off
the
youth
presentation,
really
urge
you
to
do
better
in
your
facilitation
of
these
meetings,
even
if
they
tend
to
be
going
long,
because
this
is
a
really
important
process,
but
I
have
the
great
honor
and
privilege
of
supporting
the
community
members
throughout
the
reimagining
public
safety
process,
I'm
in
strong
support
of
the
recommendations
outlined
by
the
reimagined
public
safety
community
advisory
committee.
A
The
reason
I'm
invested
in
this
process,
because
I've
had
two
interactions
with
police
that
give
me
concern
about
them
being
the
main
resource
for
public
safety.
The
first
is
when
I
was
pulled
over
by
a
police
officer,
and
they
told
me
not
to
make
any
sudden
movements
and
to
wait
while
he
checks
to
make
sure
I
was
not
a
serial
killer.
A
We
asked
law
enforcement
to
tackle
every
social
challenge
we
face
like
homelessness
and
mental
health
addiction
and
domestic
abuse
when
it
comes
to
be
better
to
master,
it's
better,
just
to
masturbate
professional
to
these
crises.
A
I
envision
a
city
where
someone
experiencing
a
mental
health
crisis
can
get
the
help
they
need
from
trained
professionals
within
minutes
and
not
hours.
On
behalf
of
sacred
heart,
we
urge
the
council
to
direct
city
administration
to
work
with
community-based
partners
to
further
develop
and
implement
the
rip's
recommendations.
Thank
you.
A
G
Thank
you,
hello.
Everyone.
My
name
is
roberto,
I'm
from
sacred
heart
community
service,
member
of
real
and
I'm
here
in
support
of
the
rips
recommendation.
I
also
want
to
thank
the
rips,
the
ribs
committee
and
the
youth
council
for
all
the
hard
work
that
they
put
into
it.
Make
this
a
community-led
process.
G
G
My
daughter
is
a
student
in
in
san
jose
being
raised
here
in
san
jose,
and
you
know
I
I
want
her
to
grow
up
in
a
community
that,
as
a
as
a
as
a
young
latina
as
a
brown
woman,
that
she
doesn't
have
to
worry
about
her
community
not
being
safe
or
being
targeted
by
how
she
looks
right
because
that
has
been
you
know,
as
other
people
have
shared.
G
That
has
been
my
personal
experiences
growing
up
as
a
brown
person
in
this
country,
son
of
immigrants
and
and
I've
also
worked
with
youth
and
families
for
many
years,
and
I've
had
the
privilege
of
being
around
youth.
Now
that
are
young
adults
and
and
though
there
are
many
successful
stories
and
stories
and
that
I'm
very
proud
of
and
and
and
you
know,
I
have
a
lot
of
joy
in
what
these
youth
have
been
able
to
do
as
adults.
G
I
all
have
also
have
stories
of
hardship
where
one
particular
case
there's
a
youth
that
suffers
from
mental
illness,
he's
a
young
adult,
and
I
know
he
struggles
with
incarceration
too
and-
and
that
pains
me
to
know
that
we
live
in
a
system
that
in
a
city
where
we
can't,
we
can't
help
him,
we
can't
find
other
solutions.
So
please
take
these
recommendations.
Serious.
We
have
a
chance
to
do
something
different
and
be
innovative.
Just
like
the
youth
council
said.
Thank
you.
A
P
P
P
I
am
in
strong
support
of
the
recommendations
outlined
by
the
rips
committee
because
we're
obsessed
with
forward
a
smart
and
thoughtful
report
with
real
solutions
that
are
making
our
commitment
that
would
make
our
community
safer
for
all
of
us.
I
please
urge
you
to
listen
to
your
community
and
please
work
with
us.
Thank
you
for
your
time.
I
yield
my
time.
J
Great,
thank
you
so
much
and
good
afternoon,
everyone.
My
name
is
veronica
amador
and
I
am
a
member
of
the
race,
equity
and
community
safety
committee
at
sacred
heart
community
service.
I'm
also
a
resident
of
district
five,
and
I
am
a
strong
support
of
the
recommendations
outlined
by
the
managing
public
safety.
N
Community
advisory
committee
for
accommodations,
because
the
red
has
put
forward
thoughtful
rapport
with
real
solutions
for
making
our
our
community
safer,
safe
referral
as
a
mother
of
children
who
suffer
from
mental
health
challenges
and
a
resident
of
district
5.
I
am
terrified
of
my
children
growing
up
and
I
am
terrified
because
I
know
especially
in
district
5.
As
I
see
patrolling
my
streets,
you
know.
N
I
wonder
when
that
call
is
going
to
be
to
my
children,
specifically
my
middle
children,
who
suffers
from
being
very
compulsive
and
unable
to
control
many
of
his
emotions
and
as
a
mother
as
he
grows
up,
he
becomes
a
threat
to
people
right
right.
Now
he
we're
able
to
support
him
and
he's
the
child,
but
even
then,
when
is
he
going
to
when
it?
When
is
that
phone
call
to
the
police
going
to
be
done,
and
how
is
he
going?
N
N
It
is
the
time
now
to
reimagine
to
reimagine
for
the
safety
of
our
children
for
to
reimagine
for
a
new
future,
a
future
where
I
know
that
I
can
let
my
children
grow
and
that
they're
not
going
to
be
persecuted
as
criminals
that
they're
going
to
be
instead
supported
for
who
they
are
and
be
able
to
grow
and
expand
and
be
somewhere
out
there
in
the
future.
Thank
you.
A
P
Good
evening,
council
members
and
mayor
sam
licardo,
my
name
is
jeffy
khalsa,
and
I
live
here
in
san
jose
with
my
children,
and
I
just
want
to
say
I
strongly
support
each
of
the
40
recommendations
that
are
so
thoughtful
from
the
rips
committee,
especially
from
the
courageous
youth
council.
These
proposals
are
thoughtful
and
doable
and
they
will
make
our
community
safer
and
healthier
and
more
equitable.
P
These
proposals
come
out
of
listening
to
the
people
that
are
most
impacted
and
like
veronica,
so
courageously
shared
just
a
moment
ago
like
this
is
this
is
the
the
safety
of
like
innocent
children
that
were
really
appealing
to
you
to
think
of
them
as
your
own
children
and
make
the
changes
in
our
community
that
will
keep
them
truly
safe
and
let
them
live
their
lives,
free
from
fear
of
harmful
and
fatal
police
contacts.
P
These
proposals
focus
on
prevention
and
true
safety
and
accountability,
which
our
society
needs
more
than
ever
implementing
them
will
be
an
opportunity
to
create
meaningful
change
and
do
something
different
and
better,
and
that's
what
we're
asking
for.
We
believe
in
police-free
non-carceral
solutions
to
the
things
that
make
our
community
challenged
and
we
want
to
see
everybody's
needs
met
in
a
way
that's
safe
and
rooted
in
compassion
and
dignity.
Thank
you.
P
R
R
By
trauma
goody,
I
am
also
a
member
of
the
real
coalition
I've
attended
many
of
the
meetings
and
really
respect
the
work
that
was
put
in
to
developing
the
recommendations
that
were
put
before
the
mayor
and
the
city
council.
R
I
was
invited
by
the
city
of
san
jose
to
serve
as
part
of
the
vetting
committee
to
hiring
the
new
police
chief
and
to
a
t,
each
police
chief
that
was
interviewed,
including
the
one
that
was
selected,
anthony
mata.
They
indicated
that
more
than
law
enforcement
was
needed
to
solve
some
of
the
problems
that
we
can
confront.
R
So
I
look
to
you
to
weigh
what
those
police
chiefs
and
the
the
selected
police
chief,
how
that
compares
with
the
solutions
that
are
put
forth
by
the
rips
committee.
As
a
member
of
district
six,
I
want
my
children
to
return
to
a
community
and
live
in
a
community
that
is
safe,
that
they
feel
a
part
of
and
that
they
see
that
is
not
centered
on
law
enforcement,
creating
the
definition
of
safety.
Thank
you
and
have
a
good
evening.
G
Hello,
yes,
my
name
is
mr
mendoza,
I'm
a
community
member
and
a
community
navigator,
and
I
want
to
thank
the
committee
for
the
tools,
the
giving
the
mayor
and
the
city
council.
I
urge
you
to
please
follow
the
recommendations.
Please.
I
work
with
a
lot
of
people
and,
as
one
lady
mentioned
before,
they
have
mental
issues
and
my
biggest
worry
is
the
they're
going
to
encounter
the
police
officers
and
the
police
officers
are
not
going
to
be
able
or
know
how
to
deal
with
the
with
the
issue
and
they're
going
to
escalate
it.
G
Instead
of
this
escalated,
that's
why
these
recommendations
are
very
important
as
well
that
they're
coming
from
the
youth,
okay
and
we
have
to
listen
to
the
future.
They
are
the
future
and
they
put
a
lot
of
work
into
this.
So
I
urge
you
council
to
please
listen
to
these
recommendations
and
please
stop
criminalizing
house
community
members.
They
are
not
criminals,
they
just
have
deal
a
bad
hand
in
their
life,
that's
what
they
need.
They
need
a
little
help,
and-
and
that's
all
you
know,
I'm
being
helping
a
couple
of
them.
G
A
N
My
son
is
a
victim
of
what
the
va
the
pattern
of
violence
that
the
police
continue
to
inflict
on
our
communities.
It's
very
hard
to
see
police
and
teach
our
children
to
trust
them.
When
these
men
aren't
being
held
accountable,
we
see
it
time
and
time
again.
Everybody
wants
to
think
that
I'm
against-
or
I
hate
police
hate's
a
strong
word,
and
I
would
never
use
that.
I'm
against
the
pattern
of
behavior
that
they
get
away
with
under
the
guise
of
that
badge
that
they
wear
that's
a
that's
bad
is
for
public
trust.
N
The
trust
is
gone
and
the
only
way
they're
going
to
be
able
to
earn
it
back
is
by
being
held
accountable,
we've
seen
time
and
time
again
officers
drunk
on
the
jobs
officers
killing
themselves.
You
know
the
office
are
more
more
of
a
public
safety
issue
for
us,
because
they're
the
ones
that
have
the
right
to
kill
us.
They
have
the
right
to
drive
drunk
in
public
and
not
get
held
accountable.
They
have
the
right
to
sexually
harass
people.
N
They
have
the
right
to
do
whatever
they
want
because
of
their
little
contracts
with
the
city,
and
I
hope
the
city
reconsiders
signing
contracts
with
them,
where
we're
not
allowed
to
hold
them
accountable.
It's
time
to
put
the
kids
first,
my
son,
josiah
and
every
child
in
that
in
santa
clara
county
who's
been
impacted
by
police.
Violence
should
be
at
the
forefront
of
these
decision
making
tables.
Thank
you.
A
A
A
G
All
right:
okay,
hey
my
name-
is
darren
seaton,
I'm
a
resident
of
district
six,
a
a
parent,
a
homeowner
and
a
little
league
baseball
coach.
G
I
know
a
lot
of
police
officers
and
I
work
with
many
professionally
on
community
boards
and
together
you
can
coach.
You
do
sports,
and
I
appreciate
the
police
and
the
difficult
work
that
they
do
to
combat
serious
crime.
However,
I
could
also
tell
you,
from
my
decades
of
experience,
working
at
sacred
heart
community
service,
where
I've
dealt
with
mentally
with
many
mentally
ill
and
house
neighbors,
and
talking
to
my
police
officer,
friends
that
relied
on
police
to
address
every
social
ill
is
not
healthy
for
our
community.
G
I
really
want
to
be
clear
that
these
are
not
punitive
measures
against
the
police,
but
simply
a
way
of
reorienting
the
way
that
we
look
at
public
safety,
where
we
invest
carrying
the
correct
professional
with
the
problem
at
hand
rather
than
sending
the
police
to
address
every
problem
that
ails
society,
and
I
think
that
we've
we've
heard
about
a
bunch
of
that
tonight.
Thank
you
very
much.
A
H
H
B
Thank
you.
Thank
you
to
all
the
members
of
the
community
who
spoke
today.
I
know
many
of
them
served
on
the
committee
and
appreciate
their
many
hours
of
investment
in
helping
us
all
reimagine
the
future
of
public
safety.
There
are
many
recommendations
here,
a
lot
of
work
ahead
of
us
to
be
sure,
but
we
appreciate
an
awful
lot
of
work
is
already
put
put
in
by
many
members
of
the
community.
I
do
want
to
explain.
I
know
there
was
some
concern
about
my
encouraging
the
presentation
to
move
along.
B
We
were
told
that
the
presentation
would
be
15
minutes
in
duration.
It
was,
I
think,
at
the
50-minute
mark,
and
I
had
several
indicators
from
colleagues
that
they
had
challenging
commitments
in
various
ways,
and
we
also
had
many
members
of
the
public
that
we
know
we
wanted
to
hear
from.
So
that's
why
we're
trying
to
move
along.
The
important
thing
is
that
we
get
the
information
to
the
council,
certainly
there's
a
lot
of
written
material
and
we
will
encourage
anyone
who
wants
to
submit
more
to
do
so
as
we
move
forward
in
this
process.
B
I
think
I
saw
councilmember
jimenez
had
his
hand
up
early,
but
I
also
know
the
council
member
processes
and,
if
counselor
menace,
did
you
want
to
jump
in.
L
I
would
mayor,
I
would,
and
just
give
me
a
second
yeah
thanks
for
the
those
comments
you
know
just
the
first
thing
I
think
is
important
to
say
is
just
thank
you
to
the
committee
members,
including
the
youth
who
presented
and
a
huge
thank
you
to
the
many
members
who
are
not
present,
who
committed
time
and
energy
in
the
furtherance
of
making
our
city
a
better
place
for
all
of
us,
and
so
I
wanted
to
express
that
appreciation.
L
One
of
the
things
that
was
evident
to
me
during
the
course
of
all
the
comments
and
the
in
the
presentations
is
that
the
behind
many
of
the
comments,
I
would
say
most
comments
associated
with
the
presentation
and,
of
course,
the
public
comment
that
there
were
that
were
shared,
that
there's
a
tremendous
amount
of
feelings
of
heart
and
love
for
our
community,
and
I
just
wanted
to
express
my
appreciation
for
that,
because
I
think
you
know
whether
we
agree
with
all
the
recommendations
or
the
possibility
of
getting
some
of
them
done
or
whatever
it
may
be.
L
I
think
I
I'd
like
to
think
that
we're
all
here
for
the
same
reason
for
the
same
place,
but
at
the
same
place
for
the
same
reason,
and
so
the
other
thing
I
wanted
to
share
is
that
many
of
the
comments
as
it
relates
to
interaction
with
you
know,
police
and
things
of
that
nature
growing
up
in
east
san
jose.
L
You
know
many
of
those
comments
resonated
with
me,
but
obviously,
in
this
role,
I'm
in
a
slightly
different
role
and
some
years
have
passed,
but
it's
unfortunate
that
some
of
those
same
concerns
some
of
those
same
interactions,
continue
to
take
place,
and
I'm
certainly
not
blind
to
that.
L
I
also
just
as
it
relates
to
the
number
of
recommendations
and
just
the
amount
of
work
before
us,
as
you
indicated
mayor
is,
I
think
there
are
many
recommendations
that
certainly,
in
my
mind,
warrant
a
more
complete
understanding
and
and
consideration,
and
some
that
seem
in
my
mind
as
well
to
seem
seem
like
no-brainers.
L
If
you
will
there's
a
lot
here,
and
so
I'm
certainly
going
to
be
curious
to
hear
from
both
my
colleagues
as
well
as
the
administration
and
one
of
my
questions
from
some
of
the
presenters
on
how
they
envision
us
and
how
they
desire
us
to
move
forward
on
the
variety
of
the
items
that
are
listed,
I
think
some
of
the
things,
for
example,
are
already
sort
of
moving
forward
some
of
the
discussions.
L
I
also-
and
I
assume,
there's
an
acknowledgment
from
the
committee
that
there
are
many
requests
here
right,
some
that
require
more
work
than
others,
some
that
require
resources,
money
and
some
that,
quite
frankly,
not
everyone's
gonna
agree
on
right,
and
so
to
that
end
I
had
a
question
and
I
was
trying
to
think
about
who
to
pose
this.
E
Thank
you,
councilmember,
jimenez
and
and
again
I
want
to
thank
the
the
more
than
50
members
of
the
of
the
committee
and
and
chris
logan
who,
from
my
team,
that
helped
staff
the
process.
E
But
but
to
answer
your
question,
I
think
what
we
envision
the
next
steps
are,
and
we
we've
started
to
schedule
some
conversations
with
members
of
the
council
just
this
past
week
and
we
expect
to
be
able
to
work
with
you
as
well,
but
we
very
much
like
to
make
sure
that
these
recommendations
don't
get
drowned
out
in
the
400
other
recommendations
that
you're
dealing
with
from
your,
I
think,
you're,
looking
at
five
or
somewhere
between
five
and
seven
processes,
they're
receiving
recommendations,
we
try
to
keep
ours,
we
considered
hundreds
of
them,
but
we
want
to
make
sure
that
some
of
them
were
able
to
continue.
E
But
we
look
at
probably
over
the
next
few
months,
because
we
know
it's
going
to
be
coming
back
to
bizfizz
and
potentially
other
committees
back
in
and
back
to
the
council
in
the
fall,
as
the
administration
continues
to
analyze
these
we'd
love
to
identify
champions
among
you,
members
of
the
council,
which
of
the
presentations
which
of
the
which
of
the
proposals
that
you
feel
would
be
ones
that
you
would
like
to
help,
invest
some
time
and
effort
and
energy
into,
and
we
have
a
whole
panoply
of
organizations
that
have
been
working
on
these
issues
that
bring
a
lot
of
expertise.
E
Not
just
lived
experience,
expertise
to
build
to
bring
to
bear
on
helping
to
develop
them
so
that
when,
when
the
administration
is
bringing
back
in
their
consideration
through
your
both
your
prioritization
process
through
your
budget
budgeting
processes
that
you're,
just
that
you
are
starting
to
you
know
conclude.
I
know
at
this
particular
point
to
make
sure
that
the
resources
are
set
aside
to
help
develop,
create
analysis
around
have
a
community
voice
and
partnership.
Then,
and
we
elucidate
some
of
those
recommendations
in
the
report.
E
So
we
look
at
this
as
being
the
starting
line
of
the
starting
line,
and
we
are
nearly
two
years
after
the
murder
of
mr
floyd
for
us
to
be
able
to
get
moving
again.
So
so
I
think
to
be
as
clear
as
possible,
which
of
these
are
important
to
you
as
members
of
the
council,
and
we
want
to
partner
with
you
over
the
next
several
months
to
help
make
sure
that
they
can
come
to
fruition.
And,
like
I
said,
many
of
them
are
no
brainers
and
can
be
passed
on.
E
We
emphasized
in
our
presentation
tonight
some
of
the
priority
ones,
and
we
look
forward
to
meeting
with
you
with
your
offices
over
the
next
few
months
and
and
to
be
able
to
make
sure
that
things
could
actually
become
a
reality.
L
Okay,
thank
you.
I
I
appreciate
that
that
helps
sort
of
frame.
You
know
how
how
how
you
all
envision
moving
forward-
and
I
see
it
about
the
same
way.
I
I
think
sometimes
during
the
course
of
public
comment,
one
of
the
things
I
think
it's
important
to
highlight
for
for
members
of
the
public
that
maybe
don't
join
us,
often
for
council
meetings
or
maybe
aren't
familiar
with
the
processes,
but
I
I
would
hate
for
some
folks-
and
I
suspect,
maybe
a
few
think
this,
but
to
the
extent
it
needs
to
be
highlighted.
L
I
think
it
could
be
important
for
folks
to
understand
that
accepting
the
report
tonight
approving
this
is,
as
you
suggest,
is
the
starting
line
right.
If
you
will-
and
we
aren't
necessarily
saying
hey,
let's
do
it
all
right
and
so
just
just
to
make
sure
that
people
have
that
understanding.
L
Your
comments,
I
agree
with
you
and
I
look
forward
to
working
and
finding
those
spaces
that
that
interest
me
more
than
others.
If
you
will
the
the
other,
the
only
other
question
I
had
and
then
I'll
pass
it
along
to
my
colleagues
is
you
know
some
of
the
recommendations
seem
to
me
to
capture
some
of
what
the
city
already
does.
Obviously
many
of
the
recommendations
are
sort
of
digging
into
some
of
what
maybe
we
should
be
doing,
but
some
of
them
touch
on
some
of
the
things
we
are
doing.
L
For
example,
there
are
comments
around
housing
issues
captured,
I
think,
in
recommendation
16..
I
think
there
might
be
an
reference
to
commercial
linkage
fee
and
things
of
that
nature
things
that
we've
actively
touched
as
a
council
and
even
in
the
homeless
centered
recommendations.
L
There
seem
to
be
things
that,
in
my
mind,
I
think
we're
sort
of
doing
already,
and
I
mean
certainly
we
can
improve
and
build
upon.
But
what
I'm
curious
about
is.
Can
you
or
anyone
else
share
how
those
discussions
within
the
committee
sort
of
took
place
around
sort
of?
Was
there
an
acknowledgement,
like
the
city's
already
doing?
L
This
did
you
guys
dig
into
what
we
were
doing
or
is
this
like
a
wish
list
of
sorts
and
so
those
those
items
that
seem
to
indicate
that,
for
example,
what
I
just
mentioned
commercial
linkage
fee,
I'm
not
sure
if
everyone
was
aware
that
we
already
have
one
we're
actively
sort
of
doing
work
around
that,
and
so
that
got
me
to
think
that
maybe
everyone
wasn't
aware
as
to
what
we
are
already
doing
in
some
of
these
spaces.
Did
that
can
you
can
you
take
me
through
how
some
of
those
conversations
took
place.
E
Absolutely
councilman
is,
I
think,
what
we
were
doing
during
the
process
was
we
actually
had
public
hearings
and
meetings
and,
and
we
had
a
variety
of
different
committees-
in
some
cases,
multiple
committees,
actually
looking
at
the
current
state
of
affairs,
of
the
things
we're
doing
and
acknowledging
the
fact
that
there's
work
that's
happening,
but
there's
work.
That
needs
to
happen
to
strengthen
that.
There
have
been
conversations,
particularly
in
the
recommendation
around
affordable
housing,
as
you
mentioned,
there's
talking
about
what
are
we
doing
with
that?
E
How
do
we
lift
those
up
to
more
regional
levels
and
standards
that
we
see
from
some
of
our
other
partner
cities?
I
know
it's
still
a
relatively
new
tool
that
we've
utilized
a
commercial
linkage
fee
and
it's
one
that
has
not
been
like
fully
implemented
yet,
and
I
think
the
idea
is
there
is
consciousness
around
the
the
breadth
of
the
work
that
we're
doing
right
now,
but
it's
an
area
that
we
would
like
to
see.
E
We
would
like
to
continue
to
partner
with
you
and
strengthen,
but
speaking
specifically,
to
the
recommendations
around
around
homelessness
and
an
alternative,
homeless
response
and
others.
Those
were
informed
by
deeper
conversations
that
we
had,
as
as
chad
was
able
to
articulate
work
that
we've
been
doing
with
the
lived
experience
advisory.
You
know,
body
and
other
you
know,
meetings
and
forums
and
focus
groups
that
we
did
to
try
to
look
at.
We
need
to
be
able
to
strengthen
some
of
the
work.
E
That's
happening
there
in
the
partnerships
there
and
investments
in
those,
and
so
there
was
there
was
a
deep
level
of
analysis
around
that,
but
we
also
understand
that
we
weren't
going
to
try
to
create
an
affordable
housing
plan
as
part
of
the
as
part
of
this
particular
study,
but
rather
to
be
able
to
emphasize
some
of
the
things.
So
one
of
the
key
recommendations,
obviously
is
implementation
of
coppa.
L
L
The
housing
department
is
doing
some
work
around
that
already
and-
and
I
know
that
you
know
it's
an
active
part
of
conversations
that
are
taking
place
already.
Okay,
all
right!
Well,
thank
you.
There's
all
all
the
questions.
I
had
all
the
comments
I
had
up
to
this
point,
a
lot
of
information
trying
to
digest
it
on
trying
to
figure
out
what
items
are
are
more
of
interest
to
me
than
others
and
such,
and
so
I
guess
with
that
and
I'll,
let
the
city
manager
or
the
city
attorney.
L
Stop
me
if
I'm
doing
this
inappropriately,
but
I'd
like
to
move
acceptance
of
the
report,
and-
and
I
assume
that
that
except
the
moving
of
the
acceptance
of
the
report
just
brings
it
forward.
As
it's
stated
in
some
of
the
the
staff
report
and
such
a
second.
P
F
All
right,
let's
move
in
second,
it
council,
member
perales,.
S
Yeah,
thank
you
first
off.
Thank
you
as
well
to
the
the
ribs
committee
and
all
the
members
that
participated,
the
youth
as
well
the
members
of
the
public
that
spoke
today
and
everybody
that's
really
devoted
a
lot
of
time
to
this
effort,
our
city
staff
as
well,
chief
mata
and
just
really.
S
S
My
my
youth
experience
growing
up
here
in
san
jose
that
I
I
drafted
a
memo
where
I
indicated
that
the
terminology
reimagining
policing,
is
what
I
had
put
in
that
memo,
but
that
ultimately
started
a
conversation
that
we
had
here
at
the
council,
and
our
vice
mayor
requested
some
funding
to
to
start
that
process
two
years
ago
of
a
community-led
effort
to
have
this
conversation.
S
Ultimately,
one
that
our
first
try
at
it
failed
and-
and
we
ultimately
hit
the
reset
button
and
rightfully
so-
and
I
think,
with
a
good
stewardship
of
angel
rios
who's
here
and
our
city,
manager's
team
allowed
the
the
effort
to
be
more
community-led.
And
that's
where
we've
we've
come
up
with
these
recommendations
here,
and
so
I'm
glad
that
we've
navigated
through
that
and
it
is
a
little
bit
delayed.
S
But
I
think
it's
all
coming
really
together
at
a
time
where
we
have
a
tremendous
amount
of
opportunity
to
be
able
to
to
look
at
how
we
can
reimagine
public
safety
here
in
in
san
jose,
and
I
wanted
to
speak
to
what
kind
of
council
member
jimenez
was
just
to
be
very
clear
with
everybody.
That's
participating
with
us.
What
the
next
steps
look
like.
First
off
the
motion
that
we
have
in
the
the
very
first
page
of
the
memo
that
staff
has
out
kind
of
outlines.
S
The
the
recommendation
very
well-
and
I
may
have
a
small
change
to
that,
but
just
to
make
it
very
clear,
referring
the
recommendations
that
are
all
the
recommendations
commit
contained
in
this
report.
S
With
the
exception
of
21
22
and
23,
which,
as
it
it
states
as
to
why,
but
that
that
the
analysis,
operational
implementation
considerations,
budget
workload,
all
of
that
consideration
will
come
back.
That
analysis
to
the
public
safety,
finance
and
strategic
support
committee
that
I
chair
in
the
fall,
and
it's
going
to
come
with
a
comprehensive
review
of
all
outstanding
recommendations
for
reform
and
operational
improvement
being
tracked
by
the
police
department
and
just
to
highlight
what
we
have
going
on
there.
S
As
poncho
had
indicated.
We
have
audits,
we
have
the
independent
police
order,
yearly
reports,
we
have
the
use
of
force
report,
the
21st
century
policing
report
and
then
the
the
very
lengthy
into
internal
and
independent
after
action
reports
from
the
2020
protest.
S
And
now
these
do
we
angel
do
you
have
off
the
top
of
your
head
or
do
we
have
a
tally
of
how
many
in
total?
Now
there
are
many
that
are
overlapping?
So
so
you
know
it'll
it'll
sound
very
big
at
first
and
it
is
big
but
there's
some
that
overlaps.
But
how
many
total
recommendations
are
we
expecting
to
come
back
to
pisviz
in
the
fall
and
sorry
pisviz
is
the
the
the
short
terminology
for
the
public
safety
finance,
the
strategic
support
committee?
B
B
C
Right,
yeah
councilmember,
given
all
those
things
that
you
mentioned
all
those
different
inputs,
including
the
recommendations
from
rips
and
the
youth
council,
were
at
421
to
be
specific,
to
be
exact
and-
and
the
thinking
is
this
is
that
between
now
and
the
fall
is,
is
to
really
really
bifurcate
these
in
terms
of
really
doing
the
deep
analysis
around
those
that
directly
involve
the
san
jose
police
department
and
they'll
be
reviewed
kind
of
from
that
perspective.
C
Of
course,
we'll
also
be
looking
at
those
from
the
lens
of
a
legal
lens
convert
lens
and
any
other
lens
that
we
need
to
apply
to
it.
That
would
impact
you
know,
operations
and,
in
addition
to
that,
we're
looking
at
bringing
in
multiple
departments
to
also
provide
some
additional
review
because,
as
you
can
see
from
some
of
the
recommendations
today,
there
are
some
intersecting
points
with
a
good
number
of
these
that
involve
current
work.
B
B
L
B
Okay
and
that's
okay
with
the
seconder,
that's
the
yeah.
B
F
S
It
clear
so
because
yeah
that's
what
that's
what
is
intended.
So
thank
you
for
that.
The
the
second
part
of
the
the
recommendations
from
staff
office
that
touches
on
on
recommendations,
21,
22
and
23,
and
and
an
opportunity
coming
back
as
well
in
our
road
map,
prioritization
process.
So
there's
a
little
bit
there
of
of
a
separate
sort
of
path
of
work.
Did
you
want
to
address
that
angel
yeah.
C
Council,
member
yeah
we
wanted
to,
we
wanted
to
pull
those
out
and
separate
those
because
those
those
are
our
recommendations
that
potentially
require
a
ballot
measure
and
just
given
the
the
the
preliminary
assessment
I
mean
we
wouldn't
be
able
to
get
to
the
ballot
until
2024.,
and
so
we
wanted
to
take
those
out
and
separate
those.
We.
They
also
mirror
almost
exactly
the
recommendations
by
the
the
charter
commission,
and
so
we
do
have
a
city
road
map
exercise
happening
on,
may
16th
here
with
council
and
we
figured.
C
We
would
defer
that
those
recommendations
to
that
process
and
then
the
mayor
and
council
can
can
really
vet
those
in
the
context
of
all
the
other
competing
interests.
S
Yeah,
thank
you.
I
was
going
to
mention
that
as
well.
Next
next
monday,
we'll
have
that
prioritization
and
there's
a
lot
of
things
on
that
list,
as
well
separately
that
have
they
don't
have
to
do
anything
with.
Maybe
the
public
safety
or
police
reimagining
public
safety
work.
The
the
only
change
that
I
was
potentially
gonna
bring
up
and
councilman
jimenez
did
briefly
touch
on
it
recommendation
16,
17,
18
and
19..
S
I
I
kind
of
feel
like
those
may
fit
into
a
different
bucket
as
well
versus
coming
back
to
the
public
safety
committee
in
in
the
fall
similar
to
what
we
were
just
talking
about,
21,
22
and
23,
because
they
don't
directly
relate
to
you
know
a
lot
of
the
public
safety
work
or
under
our
our
police,
chief's
purview.
Things
like
again.
S
The
community
opportunity
community
opportunity
purchase
act,
which
we
know
is
already
coming
right
at
another
date:
commercial
linkage
fee
program,
sb9
implementation,
or
was
your
thought
that
when
you
come
back
in
the
fall
that
you
would
just
have
a
response
to
those
and
say
you
know,
these
actually
exist
in
another
body
of
work
that
the
council
is
already
doing.
So
that
was
it
with
those
four
I
I
thought
would
also
today
maybe
already
be
redirected
to
another
path.
C
Yeah,
actually,
you
raised
a
good
point
and
that
you
know
we
we
just
did
a
cursory
review
of
these
recommendations.
We
haven't
done
the
the
in-depth,
thorough
analysis,
the
ones
that
we
identified,
preliminarily,
that
that
we
know
you
know,
would
trigger
a
specific
ballot
measure.
Those
are
the
ones
that
we
bifurcated.
C
I
I
think
it's
safe
to
say
that
you
know
19,
we
were
kind
of
on
the
bubble
we
were
kind
of
on
on.
19
could
potentially
be
added
to
that
list
as
well.
I
mean
it's.
C
Yeah
yeah,
and,
and
so
so
it
would
make
sense
to
perhaps
add
19
to
that
list,
and
then
the
other
ones
would
be
kind
of
reviewed
in
in
in
the
context
of
those
various
lenses
that
I
mentioned
earlier
in
terms
of
legal
labor,
et
cetera,.
S
Okay,
so
we
can
bring
those,
for
instance
again
just
on
the
16
say,
an
18
wage
theft
work
right.
These
are
things
that
are
already
prioritized
some
stuff
that
we're
already
working
on
like
coppa,
that
I
think
when
you
come
back
in
the
fall
at
least
I
just
don't
want
their
expectation
right
that
there's
a
whole
new
body
of
work
going
on
on
these,
that
there's
pre-existing
work
happening
there,
and-
and
that
can
come
back
at
that.
You
know
that
can
go
stay
on
that
particular
lane.
S
Okay,
so
maybe
that
would
be
the
only
change.
If
then,
specifically,
would
be
19
19.
in
the
motion.
Council
member
men
is
that
that
that
gets
lumped
in
with
21,
22
and
23
if
you're
comfortable
with
that.
L
S
Okay,
thank
you,
and
I
see
that
I'm
running
out
of
time
here
in
my
first
10
minutes,
so
I
will
hold
the
rest
of
my
my
comments
or
thoughts
and
I'll
just
say.
I
do
thank
again
everybody
for
the
robust
recommendations.
I
look
forward
to
the
conversation
as
it
comes
back
as
I
am
chair
of
the
public
safety
committee
and
being
able
to
to
dive
deeper
into
all
these
recommendations.
B
Thank
you.
Other
members
of
the
council
like
to
speak
council
member
esparza,.
K
Thank
you,
I'm
gonna.
I
think
this
is
working,
I'm
having
hot
spot
issues,
so
thank
you,
everyone
for
coming
out
and
all
the
partners
in
putting
together
the
report.
I
did
have
the
the
larger
report
here
and
so
was
trying
to
follow
along
earlier
and
one
of
the
things.
So
I
look
forward
to
the
analysis.
K
I
would
like
to
see
that
one
of
the
things
that
I'd
like
to
ask
for
in
that
analysis
is,
you
know,
as
we
talk
about
different
community
responses
to
be
as
part
of
the
menu.
K
K
It
was
just
a
whole
lot
of
really
horrible
shootings
homicides,
a
lot
of
things
that
went
up
in
district
7
and
which
is
why
I,
you
know,
fought
hard
and
thank
you
to
my
fellow
council
members
who
voted
to
approve
additional
funding
for
best
in
the
budget
last
year,
so
that
we
could
delve
in
to
look
at
what
we
need
in
terms
of
oversight
in
terms
of
a
system
as
we
create
the
next
round
of
grant
requests
and
take
that
time
to
get
input
from
the
best
partners
from
the
community
directly.
K
Impacted
in
my
district,
I
know
we've
had
a
lot
of
hot
spots
in
district
seven,
but
one
of
the
things
that
that
those
discussions-
those
were
the
positive
things
that
came
out
of
those
discussions.
Those
discussions
actually
started
out
of
a
frustration
that
we
did
not
have
accountability.
We
did
not
have
oversight
and
in
fact
we
had
a
lot
of
shootings
where
the
partners
did
not
deploy.
K
It
did
not
go
out
into
the
community
and-
and
that
was
really
hard,
and
so
what
I
asked
for
in
the
analysis
is
that
when
we
look
at
these
grants
that
we
include
that
accountability
and
transparency,
that
we
include
enough
funding
to
be
able
to
do
that,
so
that
when
we
do
it,
we
do
it
right
and
and
so
that
that's
what
I'm
going
to
ask
for
in
the
analysis,
particularly
in
you
know
the
best
types
of
aspects
of
this
of
the
report.
That's
it
for
me.
Thank
you.
T
Thank
you.
I
really
just
want
to
take
an
opportunity
to
thank
poncho
and
the
committee,
the
rips
committee,
for
putting
together
this
really
thoughtful
presentation
and
to
really
involve
the
voices
of
our
youth
in
the
committee
as
well.
It's
very
important
that
we
hear
from
our
young
people
as
to
what
what
they're
thinking
as
it
relates
rates
to
public,
relates
to
public
safety.
So
I
really
appreciate
all
of
the
voices
that
were
here
and
am
thankful
and
grateful
to
hear
your
words
and
your
thoughts
about
this.
T
I
also
want
to
thank
the
charter
commission
for
their
recommendations
too.
There
they
had
extensive
reviews
over
this
very
similar
issues,
and
I
want
to
thank
actually
the
all
the
community
members
who
came
in
and
spoke
in
person
and
virtually-
and
this
is
the
the
benefit
of
having
a
hybrid
meeting
where
people
can
participate
virtually
and
still
be
active
without
getting
in
their
car
and
driving
down
to
city
hall.
T
So
I
want
to
thank
you
all
for
being
there
and
presenting
to
us
and
and
your
comments
about
the
importance
of
this
and
the
the.
T
How
long
ago
the
george
floyd
murder
was,
and
how
long
this
is
taken
is,
is
not
lost
on
me,
but
it's
important
that
we
do
this
work
thoughtfully
and
correctly
that
we
not
rush
it
and
get
it
wrong,
because
there
it
does
involve
a
lot
of
partners
and
one
of
those
partners
is
the
san
jose
police
department,
recognizing
that
much
of
the
work
is
about
reforms
at
the
police
department
to
be
implemented.
T
That
could
benefit
their
officers
in
a
huge
way
too,
in
by
removing
some
of
the
responsibilities
that
they
have
now
that
maybe
could
go
to
community
service
officers.
So
I
really
look
forward
to
the
what
comes
back
to
the
from
the
city,
from
staff
to
the
council,
member
paralysis
committee
and
and
going
forward,
and
I
want
to
make
sure
that,
as
molly
mccloud
said,
I
always
listen
to
molly's
words,
because
she's
so
thoughtful
and
heartfelt
and
passionate
and
has
a
lot
of
unfortunately
lived
experience
in
this
regard.
T
But
she
hopes
that
results
is
something
meaningful
and
molly.
I
I
hope
so
too.
I
also
heard
the
voice
of
christine,
I
think,
hoping
to
advocate
for
office
of
disability
affairs
and
again
we're
in
budget
session,
so
I'm
hoping
to
get
that
out
there
at
some
point
as
well.
The
one
thing
I
wanted
to
add,
or
or
or
just
get
clarifications
from
you
angel-
and
I
heard
you
a
little
bit
but
with
regards
to
item
16.
T
That
really
is
something
that
we
are
looking
at
and
bringing
forward
eventually
through
ced.
So
is
it
your
intent,
then
that
you'll
look
at
all
of
these
items
and
then
pull
peel
them
off
for
the
committees
that
are
already
in
process.
Well,
like
we're
already
investigating
copa,
it's
meant
at
our
committee
twice
now.
I
think,
and
we've
also
discussed
the
commercial
linkage
fee
comes
there
as
well
as
it
comes
to
city
council.
So
is
there?
C
That
is
correct,
councilmember.
You
know
to
the
extent
that
work
is
already
being
done
and
work
advanced,
we'll
we'll
note
that
in
the
analysis
and
we'll
keep
that
with
this,
you
know
with
its
current
structure.
So
our
goal
is
not
to
slow
any
of
that
work
down,
but
to
rather
acknowledge
that
it's
being
done
somewhere
specifically
in
the
city,
so
yeah.
That
is
correct.
T
Okay,
great
with
that,
that
really
concludes
my
comments
and
my
questions,
and
I
look
forward
to
supporting
the
motion.
Thank
you
all
for
being
here.
B
Thank
you,
counselor
did
you
want
to
speak
again,
yeah.
D
Thanks
mayor
and
I'll
be
quick,
I
I
also
want
to
add
my
thanks
to
everyone
who
worked
on
the
very
thorough
report
and
and
presented
it
this
evening,
including
our
our
youth
representatives
and
all
the
public
speakers.
I
appreciate
all
of
the
the
thought
that
that
has
gone
into
this
and
you
know
very
much
think
it's
appropriate
to
focus
in
on
on
those
with
lived
experience
and
hear
those
stories,
and
I
you
know,
we
heard
some
very
heartfelt
and
in
some
cases
I
think
heartbreaking.
D
You
know
personal
stories
this
evening
and
I
appreciate
everyone
who
shared
those.
What
one
of
the
things
I
want,
I'm
reflecting
on
and
trying
to
reconcile
in
my
own
experience
is
both
the
very
real
and
and
very
valid
experiences.
D
We
heard
this
evening
as
well
as
what
I
also
very
frequently
hear
in
the
community
as
I'm
out
and
about
not
just
in
my
own
district,
which
is
quite
frequently
I'm
almost
surprised
by
how
frequently
people
bring
up
police
staffing
in
in
their
desire
to
see
more
of
it
or
their
desire
to
see
more
engagement
or
more
foot
patrols,
more
community
policing,
and
I
believe
these
are
reconcilable-
I
don't
think
we're
forced
into
having
either
oars
or
trading
these
things
off.
D
D
But
I
suppose
the
question
that
comes
to
mind-
and
I
don't
know
if
it's
a
question
to
answer
tonight
or
more
something
to
think
about
as
we
move
forward
here-
is
how
do
we
bring
those
different
perspectives
together
in
a
productive
dialogue
to
get
to
that
place
of
balance
where
we're
serving
all
the
different
needs
in
the
community?
And
that
was
something
I
didn't.
I
didn't
quite
hear
directly
addressed
this
evening,
I'll
just
I'm
just
throwing
that
out
there,
something
I'm
really.
D
You
know
I'm
grappling
with
and
I'm
curious
as
as
this
analysis
comes
back
to
our
department-
and
I
don't
know
if
this
question
is
more
for
poncho
and
the
other
presenters
this
evening,
or
it
may
also
be
for
city
staff
as
we
think
about
the
analysis
coming
back
and
discussions
in
various
committees,
you
know
how
do
we
ensure
that
we're
really
hearing
from
the
full
breadth
and
diversity
of
our
city
and
creating
a
productive
dialogue
when
these
can
be
very
difficult
conversations
and-
and
I
want
to
make
sure
we
hear
from
all
voices
and
get
to
a
synthesis
that
actually
really
reflects
the
whole
city
and
serves
the
whole
city?
D
Well,
so
I
understand
that's
not
really
an
answerable
question,
but
I'd
love
to
hear
a
perspective.
I
saw
pancho's
hand
go
up
so
I'll,
stop
and
we'd
love
to
hear
what
your
thoughts
are.
E
E
Why
we're
here
in
the
first
place,
and
to
remind
ourselves
of
the
fact
that
we've
been
working
for
a
very
long
time
on
these
issues
of
public
safety
and
in
policing
and
some
of
the
challenges
that
we
face
in
terms
of
bias
and
force
and
other
types
of
things
that
have
been
very
unfortunate.
But
rather
than
dwelling
on
those
conversations,
we
said
what
makes
our
community
safer
in
the
first
place,
we
did
some
additional
polling.
We
talked
to
many
members
of
our
community.
E
I
think
one
of
the
one
of
the
stories
that
I
heard
tonight
in
the
testimony
that
was
most
meaningful
to
me
is
actually
hearing
the
story
of
a
young
woman
who
was
who
had
who
had
been
struggling
with
addiction
and
when
there
was
a
law
enforcement
professional.
E
That
said,
you
know
instead
of
just
reflexively
dealing
with
this
person
and
perhaps
violations
of
the
law
and
said:
let's
get
you
these
resources
and
support,
it
changed
their
life
and
those
the
kind
of
tools
that
law
enforcement
needs,
and
those
are
the
kind
of
things
that
are
happening
that
that
we
hope
to
partner
with
you
to
invest
in,
and
that's
not
just
a
city
issue.
It's
a
county
issue.
It's
a
community-based
organization.
We
all
want
to
be
able
to
do
it
and
I
think
that's
the
pathway
that
you're
talking
about
moving
forward.
E
I
think
I
heard
some
of
your
words
to
this
effect
at
episodes
meeting
just
a
few
months
ago.
It's
like
how
much
are
we
partnering
with
our
community-based
organization
partners
and
can
we
invest
in
in
developing
more
robust
tools
and
we
have
a
deeper
connection
in
partnership
rather
than
just
saying:
let's
invest
more
resources
in
the
in
training
of
law
enforcement
to
be
something
that
they're?
Not.
E
How
can
we
make
sure
we
get
the
resources
to
people
that
that
that
could
actually
help
them
and
make
our
community
safer
in
the
first
place?
And
I
think
that's
the
that's
my
long
answer
to
an
unanswerable
question,
but
but
we're
really
excited
to
be
at
the
starting
point
of
some
really
fascinating
things
and
really
to
also
remember
you
know
the
voices
of
young
people
and
and
how
their
in
some
ways
is
disproportionately
affected
by
all
these
all
these
issues
and
making
sure
that
they
are
part
of
that
conversation
as
well.
D
Thank
you
yeah.
I
appreciate
that
perspective
and,
as
we
have
discussed
at
pizzfizz,
I
mean
I'm
certainly
really
supportive
of
bringing
all
those
different
disciplines
and
tools
to
the
table
and
certainly
around
addiction
and
mental
health.
I
think
we
we
realized
that
I
certainly
realized
that
our
criminal
justice
system
and
what
we're
currently
doing
is
not
sufficient.
D
I
also
want
to
make
sure
that,
in
the
conversation,
we
also
recognize
the
necessary
and
important
role,
our
law
enforcement
officers
play
and
and
that
we're
also
focused
on
helping
them
be
really
effective
in
that
role
and
that
they
feel
supported
and
that
they
have
the
the
tools
that
they
need
to
be
effective
in
carrying
out
their
essential
function.
I
I'll
wrap
up
in
a
second,
but
I
guess
angel
or
jennifer
or
anyone
is
there
anything
else.
D
You
wanted
to
add
apologize
for
not
being
there
in
the
room
with
you
on,
just
as
as
we
move
forward
how
we
ensure,
beyond
what
our
our
council
offices
are
doing,
and
we
are
soliciting
and
incorporating
the
the
real,
the
true
breadth
of
experience
and
opinion
out
there
in
the
community
on
on
the
role
of
and
future
of
policing
and
public
safety.
And
this
this
whole
process.
C
Yeah
councilmember,
I
guess
what
I
would
add
is
this
is
that
you
know
from
day
one
we
know
with
this
issue.
You
know
when
you
look
at
the
continuum
of
possible
solutions.
C
C
And
secondly,
if
we
truly
stay
true
to
the
spirit
of
this
work,
then
we
know
that
reasonable
people
all
share
or
all
agree
that
in
in
equitable
justice
and
neighborhood
safety,
and
if
we
could
just
keep
focused
on
that,
I
think
we'll
do
some
good
work
and
I
think
that's
really
what
has
evolved
over
the
course
of
this
process.
More
recently,.
D
Great
thank
you
age.
I
appreciate
that
and
look
for
the
rest
of
the
the
conversation
this
evening
and
and
in
the
weeks
months
and
years
ahead,
and
thank
you
again
to
everyone
who
helped
put
together
this
report.
Thank
you.
B
S
S
For
instance,
the
next
piss
fizz
meeting
is
going
to
happen
on
a
thursday
starting
at
1
30.,
so
having
the
youth
voice
is
probably
going
to
be
pretty
difficult
at
those
meetings,
so
I
could
see
where
again,
when
we
hear
back
there,
and
and
some
of
these,
as
we've
talked
about
today,
may
be
pretty
lower
hanging
fruit
and
we
may
be
able
to
move
forward.
S
So
I
see
all
of
that.
You
know
in
our
in
our
near
and
and
more
distant
future.
Just
speaking
to
a
couple
of
the
items
as
I
was
looking
through
it
again,
we
have
an
opportunity
with
our
negotiations
with
the
san
jose
police
officers,
association
on
the
next
contract
and
it
and
it
provides
an
opportunity-
and
it
may
be
a
couple
year-
contract
right,
so
this
opportunity
may
not
present
itself
for
a
couple
years.
S
So
I
just
like
to
see
if
we
can
look
at
some
of
the
recommendations,
for
instance,
happen
to
you
know
present
itself
at
a
press
conference
where
the
chief
and
the
mayor
spoke
to
it,
but
recommendation
number
32
talking
about
mandatory
drug
testing.
There
is
an
opportunity
with
hiring
there's
some
recommendations
here:
42
43,
maybe
not
so
much
42-
would
say
43
or
44..
S
It's
a
talking
about
preference
points
or
incentive
pay
upon
hiring
for
san
jose
residents.
I
think
some
of
these
things
could
find
their
way
into
the
discussion
of
our
our
current
negotiations,
so
kind
of
going
back
to
what
councilman
foley
was
saying,
and
then
what
I
was
saying
and
councilman
fermin
is,
as
you
look
through
this:
let's
not
just
put
everything
into
the
bucket
of
coming
back
to
fispiz
in
the
fall.
If
you
can
also
look
at
it
in
in
regards
to
the
the
numbers,
I
just
suggested
right.
S
Some
of
this
may
and
should
find
its
way
to
the
council
and
jennifer
shembry's
office
right
through
the
negotiations
with
the
poa
that
are
that
are
happening
soon.
C
Yeah
councilmember,
you're,
absolutely
right
and
and
our
intent
is
not
to
just
add
more
process
to
this,
but
rather
really
look
at
the
low-hanging
fruit.
Look
at
those
items
that
are
are
actionable
that
are
doable
that
are
fundable
things
that
really
can't
wait
until
the
fall
right
and
that
we
take
immediate
action
and
identify
those
things
like,
for
example,
there's
a
number
of
recommendations
that
intersect
with
homeless
response,
others
with
mental
health
response,
others
with
a
pre-release
of
incarcerated.
C
You
know,
individuals,
there's
a
number
of
efforts,
a
number
of
recommendations
that
intersect
with
current
and
planned
work,
so
we're
going
to
jump
on
those
first
and
then,
and
so,
even
if
that
means
even
at
the
risk
of
maybe
coming
back
to
physics
and
saying
well,
you
know
we,
we
started
moving
these
in
advance
because
it
just
made,
you
know
good
sense
to
do
so
right
and
so
we're
gonna
we're
gonna
we're
gonna,
really
lean
more
towards
action.
C
A
Yeah
thanks
angel-
I
just
want
to
pipe
in
you
know,
with
our
last
contract
between
the
city
and
the
police
officers
association,
we
did
have
a
side
letter
related
to
police
reforms
too.
I
think
that's
what
you're
recalling
count
council
member-
and
I
think
you
know-
even
if
we
don't
have
everything
ironed
on
about
what
it
is.
They
have
indicated
a
willingness
to
talk
about
these
things,
even
if
we
don't
have
it
all
ironed
out
of
what
it
might
look
like.
So
I
think
we'll
make
sure
everything's
coordinated
as
we
go
into
negotiations.
S
Great,
thank
you
and
then
last
one
just
looking
over
the
youth
commission
recommendations
or
youth
committee
recommendations.
There
also
may
be
some
in
there
that
say,
for
instance,
the
establishing
the
police
chief
as
an
elected
position.
It
would
also
make
its
way
to
the
level
of
something
that
would
have
to
go
to
the
ballot.
S
So
if
you
want
to
just
scan
through
those,
I
think
as
well
and
and
like
that
one
right,
we
can
kind
of
pick
it
out
already
and
likely
say
something
like
that
should
then
fall
into
that
same
category
of
these
discussions
that
are
are
going
to
be
in
a
different
path
because
they
would
require
something
like
a
ballot
initiative.
B
Okay,
I
think
that's
everyone
who
would
like
to
speak,
so
we
do
have
a
motion
which
is
the
staff
recommendation
that
will
refer
these
recommendations
for
committees
and
commissions
for
additional
work
there.
Any
final
comments,
not
let's
vote.
A
B
B
Thank
you
all
right.
Thank
you.
Everyone.
That
concludes
our
agenda.
We
now
have
time
for
open
forum.
A
Okay,
as
a
reminder,
open
forum
is
not
to
address
items
that
were
already
heard
on
the
agenda.
I
have
a
person
in
public
who
says
who
doesn't
have
a
name,
but
it's
california,
sea
kings,.
A
Name
is

They've,
attended
our
basketball

we've
had

in
collaboration
with
silicon

on
2099,
south

So
we
invite

you
community

B
Thank
you
if
I
could
suggest
that
perhaps
connect
with
tony,
so
you
can
get
the
email
addresses
for
our
offices,
so
we
can
get
all
the
details
and
and
folks
can
show
up
that
way.
Thank
you
very
much.
L
All
right,
thank
you,
blair,
beakman
here,
thanks
for
the
meeting
today,
a
reminder
of
open
public
policies
and
accountability
with
technology.
L
L
Medicare
for
all
workers,
rights
issues,
tennis
rights
issues,
there's
a
list
of
things.
We
can
really
be
working
on
as
a
full
community
process
and
that
can
really
invite
all
parts
of
the
community-
and
I
mean
all
parts
parts
that
are
you
know,
disaffected
disassociated
and
the
criminal
element
that
doesn't
feel
that
nothing
works
for
them.
All
of
these
items
speak
to
a
full
community
process
and
that
and
that
community
can
work
with
government,
and
so
I
thank
you
and
how
we'll
be
making
these
efforts
this
summer.
L
There
can
be
good
community
sessions
this
summer
that
I
feel
can
take
place.
Good
luck
in
our
efforts
and-
and
interestingly
all
of
this
is
the
ideas
of
that
you
know
we're
trying
to
address.
L
You
know
the
era
of
9
11
that
we
created
that
was
kind
of
a
disaster
and
we're
trying
to
say
sorry
for
that,
and
I
think
we
can
look
at
what's
going
on
in
the
ukraine
area
right
now
and
just
fully
understand
that
they
could
have
negotiated
a
peace
process,
possibly
instead
of
using
war,
and
it's
important
russia
understands
that
at
this
time
and
ukraine
too,
and
that
you
know
they're
going
to
have
to
come
back
to
the
negotiation
table
one
day
and
work
on
salvaging.
What
is
a
piece
for
the
area?
L
A
R
Hello
I'd
like
to
let
you
all
know
that
there
is
a
there's,
a
danger
right
now
that
the
czu
fire
chiefs
and
fire
directors
are
battling
they're,
trying
not
to
lose
their
right-of-way
into
some
of
the
open
space
and
redwood
forests
up
in
the
santa
cruz
mountains,
henry
cal
redwood
state
park
and
the
pogonip
open
space.
R
They
may
lose
their
ability
to
use
the
the
rail
and
the
the
service
roads
there.
Now
they
want
to
use
the
rails
to
bring
in
water
tankers
and
suppressant
and
supplies.
R
Now,
five
chiefs
and
two
directors
made
a
public
statement
with
the
help
of
the
san
lorenzo
valley
post
there's
been
an
effort
to
privatize
part
of
the
rail
corridor,
limiting
freight
in
any
area
for
any
reason
cuts
off
our
firefighters
from
being
able
to
use
what
they
say
is
a
key
tool.
This
should
scare
the
hell
out
of
anybody.
I've
already
let
another
prominent
council
member
know
about
this.
I
haven't
seen
anyone
spreading
any
news
this
could
this
could
help
lead
to
making
the
next
catastrophic
wildfire
so
much
worse?
