This
way,
nicole,
doesn't
have
to
speak
twice
good
afternoon.
Everyone.
Thank
you
for
joining
council
member
foley
and
me
today
to
proclaim
june
as
lgbtq
pride
month.
It's
important
that
we
as
a
city
make
everyone
feel
accepted
and
celebrate
them
for
who
they
are
so
this
proclamation
represents
our
love
and
welcoming
of
all
san
jose
residents
who
identify
as
lgbtq
plus
I
am
so
proud
to
be
from
a
city
that
honors
our
lgbtq
plus
community
as
much
as
we
do
with
trans
visibility,
day
trans
day
of
remembrance
and
silicon
valley
pride
month.
E
F
F
Pride
began
as
an
event
to
acknowledge
the
stonewall
riots
where
members
of
the
gay
and
trans
community
were
victimized
in
new
york
over
50
years
ago,
this
pride
month,
while
our
lgbtq
plus
community
celebrates
the
many
freedoms
they
have
fought
hard
to
achieve.
We
acknowledge
that
those
rights
may
be
at
risk.
F
F
Is
love
mask
in
honor
of
my
daughter,
my
brother
and
all
members
of
the
lgbtq
plus
community,
now
that
I
stand
know
that
I
stand
and
this
council
stands
in
solidarity
with
you
in
support
of
you
in
defense
of
you
and
as
your
allies
council
member
davis,
and
I
invite
the
public
to
celebrate
pride
month
by
joining
us
tonight
at
five
o'clock
at
a
flag
raising
which
we
will
do
outside
there
will
be
singing
and
dancing
with
that
mayor.
Will
you
present
the
recognition
to
nicole
alda
morano.
G
You
know,
including
pronouns.
When
you
pick
your
gender,
when
you
apply
for
a
job
it
makes
people
feel
welcomed.
It
makes
members
of
our
lgbtq
plus
community
feel
like
hey.
I
belong
here
and
that's
important.
Wherever
we
go,
it's
also
looking
an
ally
is
also
standing
up
when
maybe
nobody
is
around
well,
there
might
not
be
a
queer
person
here,
but
you
hear
a
slur.
G
You
hear
a
joke,
it's
not
that
funny
stand
up
and
say
something
and
then
most
importantly,
remember
that
pride
was
not
borne
out
of
a
need
to
celebrate,
but
rather
a
need
and
a
determination
to
live
authentically
and
to
be
ourselves
in
the
face
of
discrimination,
the
face
of
persecution.
That
is
why
we
are
here
today.
We
stand
on
the
shoulders
of
the
ones
that
come
before
us
so
loud
and
proud.
I
say
happy
pride
month,
don't
forget.
Silicon
valley.
Pride
is
at
the
end
of
august
august
27th
and
28th.
G
G
Thank
you
for
joining
me
today,
as
we
proclaim
also
june
s
immigrant
heritage
month,
31
days
to
celebrate
the
beautifully
vibrant
and
diverse
country
that
we
are
and
the
incredible
people
that
have
made
it.
So
I
challenge
you
to
deny
that
immigrants
are
the
backbone
of
the
united
states,
as
we
are
a
nation
and
valley
built
off
their
hopes,
dreams
they're,
driving
their
accomplishments.
G
Immigrants
are
courageous
in
their
willingness
to
leave
their
homes,
everything
that
is
of
comfort
and
familiar
to
them
in
search
of
better
opportunities
or
refuge
in
a
new
country,
and
it
is
because
of
their
great
sacrifice
that
we
have
accomplished
much
of
our
country's
greatest
victories
and
fueled.
Our
american
spirit,
immigrants
run
our
economies
working
within
every
possible
sector
imaginable,
from
health
care
to
community
service,
to
caretaking
to
food
production
and
engineering.
G
This
month
is
particularly
special
for
those
of
us
who
are
either
immigrants
or
sons
and
daughters
of
immigrants.
My
parents
immigrated
from
a
very,
very
small
little
tiny
town
in
mexico
to
the
united
states.
They
started
their
journey
in
washington
dc,
eventually
making
their
way
into
california
and
eventually
settling
in
san
jose.
Following
that
great
technology
of
the
assembly
lines
in
the
canneries
and
living
in
in
very
good
paying
jobs
as
county
workers,
we
were
able
to
buy
a
house.
G
Eventually
they
were
able
to
send
their
own
daughter
out
to
uc
santa
barbara
and
I've
told
my
team
and
I've
told
all
of
you.
If
you
know
carrasco
we're
probably
related
I've
estimated
that
there's
about
22,
000,
carrasco's
or
descendants
in
the
city
of
san
jose,
and
I've
often
thought
that
maybe
I
should
have
ran
for
san
jose
mayor.
G
I've
had
the
pleasure
of
meeting
this
unifying
spirit.
We
dedicate
this
month
to
honoring
those
who,
like
my
parents,
have
experienced
the
long
and
hard
process
of
immigration
and
since
then
achieving
their
american
dream.
Let's
take
the
time
to
appreciate
the
impact
that
our
immigrant
populations
have
imparted
upon.
All
of
us,
let's
recognize
their
wisdom
and
their
traditions
and
honor
them
by
not
turning
a
blind
eye
to
the
realities
of
our
failed
immigration
system.
Because,
let
me
remind
let
me
remind
you
all
that
the
system
is
broken.
There
is
no
line
to
wait
in.
G
There
is
no
timeline,
and
as
elected
officials,
it
is
our
duty
to
represent
all
our
residents
regardless
of
immigration
status.
Our
immigrant
community
is
the
foundation
upon
which
we
have
built
our
nation
and
city
and
as
the
10th
largest
city
in
the
united
states,
third
largest
in
california,
we
need
to
be
leaders
in
recognizing
their
contributions.
G
I'm
honored
that
we're
joined
by
yurina
guzman,
an
incredible
cohort
of
leaders
from
both
luna
and
papeles
paratodos
or
papers,
documentation
for
all
yurina
guzman
was
born
in
guadalajara,
jalisco
and
achieved
a
nursing
degree.
She
started
like
many
immigrants
working
in
the
fields,
picking
grapes
in
paso
robles
and
then
working
as
a
caregiver
for
the
elders
elderly
and
for
the
last
10
years,
working
by
cleaning
homes.
Urina
has
stood
with
the
immigrant
community
for
many
years
and
became
involved
in
the
dreamers
movement
in
2012.
G
G
H
A
C
C
Them
being
at
the
forefront,
not
letting
this
country
fall,
the
families
risk
it
at
all,
and
while
that
brings
many
heavy
emotions,
fear
isolation,
sadness
and
development.
We
also
know
that
our
life
deserves
celebration.
When
we
talk
about
celebration,
it
is
a
celebration
of
friday
and
all
that
we
are
capable
of
transforming.
C
I
C
Right
now,
the
community
is
fighting
locally
for
decent
housing,
affordable
transport,
transportation
for
all
environmental
justice,
a
health
care
system
that
protects
us
and
treat
us
like
human
beings,
and
should
we
include
it
on
the
ballot
to
have
the
right
to
vote.
We
call
everyone
inside
and
outside
our
community
to
take
action
supporting
this
current
struggles
that
benefit
our
immigrant
community.
Together,
we
can
create
the
city
we
deserve
long
live
the
immigrant
community.
G
D
D
Councilman
foley
indicated
desire
to
adjourn
at
4
50
p.m,
and
I'm
going
to
suggest
that
we
adjourn
completely
at
that
time.
Given
the
fact
that
we've
got
a
lot
of
folks,
I
know
on
the
dice
who
need
to
be
in
lots
of
places
on
election
day,
so
we'll
try
to
get
through
as
much
as
we
can
today.
Hopefully
we'll
get
through
all
of
it.
J
K
K
K
Song
was
the
ceo
of
district
3
based
adis
architecture,
chair
of
the
san
jose
planning
commission
and
was
a
co-founding
member
of
the
progressive
vietnamese
american
organization
pivot.
He
also
founded
sofa
market.
An
urban
food
hall
in
our
san
jose's
emerging
sofa,
sofa
art
district,
as
well
as
the
fountainhead
bar
an
architecture
themed
bar
located
within,
was
also
the
lead
architect
in
the
first
of
its
kind
vietnamese
american
services
center
on
tully
road,
a
project
he
called
a
milestone
of
his
career
through
his
various
roles
over
the
years.
K
K
K
Eight
years
ago,
in
and
after
my
wife
and
I
became
regulars
there
at
the
sofa
market
in
the
fountainhead
bar,
he
was
a
tremendously
positive
person,
always
very
uplifting
to
me
and
to
others,
and
I
want
to
say
thank
you
mayor
for
including
in
your
recently
released
budget
message,
the
idea
of
funding
for
a
memorial
again.
I
know
that
that
I
will
miss
him.
Many
will
miss
him,
but
his
impact
and
his
legacy
will
forever
be
remembered
by
our
community
here.
D
D
D
B
Thank
you
mayor.
I
I
support
the
what's
in
the
report.
I
just
wanted
to
add
a
couple
of
things
to
it.
Renaissance
place
is
in
district,
seven
and
I've
been
working
with
the
county
on,
for
example,
some
security
assessments
and
some
security
enhancements
at
renison
place,
and
so
I
wanted
to
ask
housing
did,
did
2nd
street
studios
guess
similarly
get
a
security
assessment
from
the
county
security
office
or
the
sheriff's
office.
L
All
right,
thank
you,
councilmember
rachel,
vanderveen,
deputy
director
of
the
housing
department,
so
we
did
have
a
security
assessment
completed
by
the
city
of
san
jose's
police
department.
So
in
this
case
we
worked
with
the
city
versus
the
county
sheriff's
office,
but
that
was
actually
completed
and
the
information
from
that
assessment
was
was
basically
incorporated
into
the
improvements
that
were
recommending
for
the
property.
B
Yeah,
I
I'm
wondering
who
that
was
because
I
this
second
street
studios
and
renaissance
place
are
in
the
same
police
division
and
I
had
reached
out
to
the
captain
of
that
division.
He
was
completely
unaware
of
sjpd
security
assessment,
so
so
I
would
because
I
think
we're
trying
to
coordinate
a
lot
more
with
the
county
on
permanent
support
of
housing
developments
and
emerging
needs.
B
The
county
is
moving
forward
on
developing
processes
for
all
permanent
supportive
housing
developments
and
at
renaissance
place,
for
example,
the
sheriff's
office
conducted
a
security
assessment
in
partnership
or
with
in
coordination
with
the
sjpd,
and
so
I
I
think
that
we
should
sort
of
establish
that
as
a
baseline
for
all
the
permanent
supportive
housing
developments
in
our
city,
and
so
I
just
I
saw
that
security
enhancement
and
I'm
assuming
that's
a
supplement
to
the
system.
That's
already
there
right,
it's
not
replacing
it,
but
it's
adding.
B
So
I,
because
of
the
county
being
more
proactive
on
permanent
supportive
housing
developments
security.
I
I'd
like
to
move
to
approve
this
approved
2.19,
but
add
that
we
coordinate
with
the
county
force
security
assessment
because
it
there
may
be
some
other
things,
as
happened
in
renaissance
place.
There
were
some
other
additional
needs
beyond
cameras
that
came
out
of
that
security
assessment
that
second
street
studios
could
benefit
from.
So
I'd
like
to
move
to
approve,
2.19
and
and
add
a
county
security
assessment.
F
D
D
I
had
another
question
for
you.
I
understand
that
some
of
this
money's
actually
helping
to
fix
some
challenges
with
plumbing
and
and
leaks,
and
I
had
heard
rumors
that
there
are
particular
challenges
with
the
prefabricated
nature
of
the
construction.
Is
that
something
we
see
in
other
prefabricated?
I
know
we
don't
have
a
lot
of
prefabricated
projects.
I
know
this.
I
think
this
was
the
first
I'm
not
mistaken.
L
L
So
those
are
all
things
that
we
will
definitely
be
looking
at
in
future
developments,
but
also
the
just
the
the
situation
where
the
water
tends
to
just
run
right
down
through
the
different
floors
yeah.
That
is
something
that
we
are
specifically
looking
into
as
we're
exploring
modular
housing
in
the
future.
So
it's
it's
a
little
bit
difficult
to
know
just
because
we
don't
have
very
many
examples
yeah,
but
we
do
want
to
ask
the
question
ahead
of
time,
because
we
are
learning
through
this
experience
that
that
it
has
been
a
common
problem.
D
C
Yeah,
just
just
the
question,
I'm
supporting
the
motion.
What
I'm
curious
about
is,
there's
a
particu,
I'm
pulling
up
the
memo,
but
there's
a
particular
amount
that
we're
approving
or
up
to
a
particular
amount.
I
guess
assuming
we
do
well
when
we
do
the
additional
assessment
with
the
santa
clara
county
sheriff's
office,
assuming
other
things
are
found
that
are
going
to
cost
more
money.
C
L
That's
a
good
question.
We
are
requesting
today
approval
for
one
million
dollars
in
addition
to
the
existing
loan,
so
it
basically
will
grow
the
loan
by
a
million
dollars.
I
think
that
that
is
there.
There
may
be
some
room
in
that
budget
to
to
move
things
around.
Obviously
we
put
it
together
with
specific
projects
in
mind,
and
so
we
can
assess
that.
B
B
The
county
is
actually
going
to
be
paying
for
some
security
enhancements,
and
so
you
know
sometimes
it
might
be
us.
Sometimes
it
might
be
the
county,
but
I
so
hopefully
I
don't
know
if
that
addresses
council
member
menace's
questions
as
well,
but
I
do
think
that
we
can
continue
to
coordinate
as
we
bring
more
developments
online.
M
F
I
just
wanted
to
clarify
in
the
past
who
we've
had
do
these
inspections
so
because
we
have
done
them
in
other
sites
as
well,
and
the
inspections
have
been
done
by
the
specialized
unit
in
this
police
department.
That
actually
does
security
work
with
us
and
has
done
like
safety
meetings
and
other
kinds
of
protocols
where
they've
walked
buildings
and
provided
insight
into
the
types
of
repairs
we
should.
F
We
could
do,
and
I
suppose
one
of
the
things
if
you
could
give
us
some
flexibility,
is
instead
of
having
us
come
back
if
there
would
be,
and
if
it
is
based
on
this
assessment
that
you
all
feel
that
you're
supporting,
then
it
would
be
helpful
if
you
give
us
a
little
attitude
to
go
a
little
bit
above
the
amount
so
that
we
would
not
have
to
return.
That
would
actually
be
helpful.
C
Yeah,
I
was
going
to
mention
that
when
I
was
asking
my
question,
but
but
I
figured
just
the
sense
I
got,
is
that
you'd
be
able
to
accommodate
that?
But
I
don't
know
if
there's
like
a
magic
number,
but
I'd
propose
a
friendly
amendment
to
council
member
esparza's
move
to
recommend,
I
guess
jackie
or
rachel.
What,
if
we're
asking
if
the
additional
sort
of
loan
is
a
million
dollars,
is
it
a
million
one
hundred
thousand
dollars?
Is
it
I
mean
I'm
trying
to
understand
how
much
more
you
need?
C
1.1
1.2
would
1.2
up
to
that
right.
It
isn't
okay,
so
so
councilmember
as
far
as
I
I'd
be
curious,
if
you'd
be
willing
to
entertain
a
motion
to
give
increase
the
threshold
of
the
loan
essentially
to
accommodate
any
anything
that
may
arise
during
the
course
of
the
the
assessment
that
you're
asking
for.
B
B
B
C
I
think
that
I'd
be
curious,
how
the
housing
department,
or
how
we
or
how
you
council,
member
esparza,
would
approach
a
situation
in
which
the
county
sheriff's
office
maybe
has
different
and
distinct
recommendations
from
the
police
department
and
how
that
may
sort
of
play
out,
but
I'm
not
sure
what
you've
seen
on
the
ground.
But
that's
something
I
think
I'd
be
curious
about
and
to
the
extent
it
plays
out
in
this
situation.
I'd
be
interested
to
know
that
offline.
B
The
county
is
creating
a
position
within
their
security
office
to
be
a
liaison
on
security
issues,
for
developments
just
to
address
some
unique
needs
and
to
coordinate
with
the
different
security
companies
and
just
things
like
that,
and
so
I
believe
that
position
was
approved,
but
it
hasn't
been
filled
yet,
but
to
basically
so
that
we
can
coordinate
much
more
but
yeah
good
questions.
Thank
you.
K
K
Okay
yeah,
thank
you
because
I
just
I
know
that
we
did
not
at
all
have
the
county
involved
with
our
not
only
the
security
assessment,
but
literally
for
the
last
couple
years,
at
least
not
the
county
sheriff's.
I
should
say
to
be
specific,
so
we
didn't
have
the
county
sheriffs
involved.
We
were
working
through
the
the
unit
that
you
were
describing
jackie
as
crime
prevention,
the
crime
prevention
unit,
and
that's
the
only
unit
that
we
currently
have
within
san
jose
pd
right
now.
K
That
would
do
this
kind
of
assessment
and
we
did
coordinate,
though,
with
our
captain,
but
it
was
crime
prevention
that
came
out
which
is
actually
a
civilian-based
unit
out
of
the
pd,
and
so
that's
so
anyways.
It
was
kind
of
news
to
me
that
maybe
the
share
speed
involved.
It
makes
sense,
though,
because
renaissance
plays,
as
you
just
described,
council
members
bars
what's
more
unique.
K
There
is
that
that
is
county-owned
land,
and
so
that
would
potentially
be
why
maybe
that
the
shares
were
more
involved
there,
but
if
they
can
provide
a
additional
perspective,
certainly
happy
to
to
to
hear
that
right
and
to
see
how
that
could
help
and
then
vice
versa.
With
you
know,
getting
crime
prevention
or
somebody
from
the
pd
out
to
to
help
it
renee
some
place
that
you
know
the
more
professional
eyes.
The
better.
A
D
E
E
So
we're
celebrating
pride
month
today
and
we're
celebrating
the
freedom
in
our
in
our
country
and
our
city
for
the
lgbtq
plus
community
and
qatar
is
just
at
odds
with
our
values.
And
so
I
just
I
I
understand
that
this
the
state
of
qatar
is
paying
for
your
travel
and
I'm
wondering
what
their
motives
are
for
inviting
all
of
these
u.s
mayors
through
the
mayor's
conference.
D
I
submitted
a
memorandum.
I
think
that
discussed
some
of
these
issues,
though
clearly
a
one-page
memorandum
wouldn't
be
enough.
There's
no
question
that,
for
example,
qatar
retains
elements
of
sharia
law
in
their
legal
system,
so
there
are
many
areas
where
I
think
we
would
all
agree.
We
don't
agree
with
what
qatar
is
doing
in
its
own
country.
D
D
D
D
And
specifically,
his
praise
referred
to
their
efforts
and
qatar
being
central
to
many
of
our
most
vital
interests.
As
again,
president
biden
relocating
tens
of
thousands
of
of
afghans,
maintaining
stability
in
gaza,
providing
life-saving
assistance
to
the
palestinians,
keeping
pressure
on
isis
and
deterring
threats
across
the
middle
east
and
a
lot
more.
D
They
are
interested
from
what
I
can
tell
based
on,
what's
been
communicated
to
me
and
having
elected
officials
from
throughout
the
united
states,
come
in
advance
of
the
world
cup,
which
they
are
hosting,
of
course,
for
the
entire
planet.
That's
the
biggest
sports
event
in
the
world.
I
would
imagine
I
guess
it's
either,
first
or
second
with
the
olympics,
and
they
would
like
to
ensure
that
more
people
have
an
opportunity
to
be
able
to
see
what
the
country
is
about.
D
D
D
Yet
the
country
has
become
an
increasingly
prominent
ally
of
the
west,
demonstrating
leadership
among
muslim
nations
for
social,
educational
and
economic
opening.
It
is
the
home
of
the
al
jazeera
media
group,
which
has
promoted
greater
transparency
throughout
the
arab
world.
It
houses
six
prominent
american
universities,
qatari
women
enjoy
far
greater
progress
in
voting
rights,
political
leadership,
education
and
career
than
their
peers
in
neighboring
nations,
and
it
has
a
recent
history
of
actively
opposing
autocratic
governments
in
nations
such
as
libya,
sylvia
bahrain,
and
has
hosted
negotiations
to
resolve
long-standing
disputes
among
warning
parties
in
afghanistan.
D
Finding
nations
whose
civil
liberties
records
on
civil
liberties
and
other
kinds
of
legal
protections
are
anything
we
would
consider
anywhere
near
acceptable
by
our
own
american
standards.
Nonetheless,
if
we
don't
communicate,
if
we
don't
travel,
then
we
won't
learn.
I'm
going
to
speak
to
my
own
motivation,
particularly
because
I'm
focused
on
water,
and
I
know
that
they
have
made
great
gains
and
around
providing
a
potable
supply
for
their
3
million
residents.
D
E
E
I
think
there
there
isn't
a
pressing
need
for
for
this
trip
and
again
I
I
find
it
really
just
disconcerting
that
it's
happening
during
during
pride
month,
and
I
I
agree
that
fifa,
world
cup
event
is
a
very
big
event,
but
there
is
always
a
lot
of
controversy
in
the
locations
that
that
fifa
chooses,
and
this
this
one
in
particular,
has
for
years
had
many
many
issues.
So
I
I
just
can't
support
this.
I
At
this
point
I
can
see
people
not
wanting
the
mayor
of
berkeley
to
visit
israel,
but
he
did,
and
I
what
the
mayor
said,
there
is
something
to
traveling
and
learning
and
it
sounds
like
some
channels
can
be
opened
up.
Not
everyone
is
going
to
be
bad
within
the
country
as
within
all
countries.
Some
are
good
and
some
are
bad.
I
I
I
wish
a
good
luck
in
the
mayor
in
bringing
those
principles
out
and
bringing
out
our
good
good
beliefs
and
we're
at
a
time
to
begin
to
do
that
again
and
ask
those
sort
of
questions
and
to
be
really
firm
in
our
beliefs
and,
at
the
same
time
ask
what
what
is
interchange,
what
is
dialogue
and
so
good
luck
in
that
process,
and
I
deal
with
the
same
issues.
You
know
all
the
work
I
do
with
openness
and
accountability.
I
This
work
possibly
may
have
originally
derived
from
uae
ideas
and
I've,
I'm
a
bit
uncomfortable
with
ua
uae
ideas,
sometimes,
and
so
I
go
back
and
forth
on
the
issue
myself
as
well,
so
just
an
overall
good
luck
and
just
understanding
world
cultures
and
it's
a
good
learning
process
for
us
all.
Hopefully,
thank
you.
O
O
I
find
that
if
you
take
that
leadership
position
there
in
asking
a
woman,
her
opinion
on
a
matter,
I
think
that
that
will
go
a
long
way
to
setting
an
example
for
how
we
here
live
and
care
about
women
me
speaking,
for
example,
right
now,
I'm
just
so
proud
to
say
that
I
do
live
in
a
country
where
I
have
this
right
and
I
don't
have
to
ask
my
husband
in
the
other
room
for
his
permission.
So
please
seek
out
the
opportunity
anywhere
you
can
to
acknowledge
the
women
that
are
around
you.
Thank
you.
C
C
D
K
K
I
do
think
that
there
is
some
some
importance
to
that
so,
and
I
was
looking
up
in
a
quick
google
search.
It
looks
like
this.
The
qatar
is
utilizing
the
us
conference
of
mayors
to
invite
literally
hundreds
of
mayors
from
across
the
country
and
and
so
they've
been
doing
that
since
the
beginning
of
the
year,
and
so
that
is
a
little
bit
concerning
as
well
that
maybe
there's
there's
obviously
something
in
it.
K
I've
seen
some
of
these
other
mayors
travel
with
whether
it's
their
city
manager
or
other
sort
of
staff.
So
I
don't
know
if
that
was
part
of
the
invitation,
but
I
actually
think
that
would
be
slightly
more
valuable
right
to
have
somebody
from
city
staff
that
might
be
working
in
some
of
these
areas.
So
if
you
want
to
respond
so.
D
D
C
K
A
J
P
P
P
It
has
an
exchange
of
ideas
that
has
been
prepared
ahead
of
time.
The
interest
of
this
country
is
unknown
and
I
think
it's
a
slippery
slope
and
the
fact
that
this
memo
is
coming
two
days
before
departure
is
I
I
I
don't
even
know
you
know.
I
don't
know
what
to
say
to
that,
but
I
I'm
just
not
going
to
support
this.
P
As
a
woman,
I
think
I
we
have
such
difficulty
to
be
honored
here
in
our
own
council
and
to
deal
with
the
difficulty
of
of
being
a
woman
of
color
being
a
woman.
The
mansplaining
that
sometimes
has
happened
on
the
diocese
and
we've
got
a
lot
of
work
to
do
in
our
within
our
own
culture,
and
the
country
that
you
are
going
to
is
is
a
place
where
I
would
be
so
scared
to
travel
to.
P
D
Sure-
and
perhaps
I
can
explain
briefly
also
about
the
timing-
I
learned
about
this
opportunity
about
two
weeks
ago.
So
that's
why
we're
having
come
to
the
council
now
and
the
council
would
need
to
authorize
what
is
essentially
a
gift
which
is
the
cost
of
the
travel
that
is
paid
for
by
the
foreign
ministry.
L
D
F
B
Thank
you
and
thank
you
to
councilmember
foley
and
the
vice
mayor
for
bifurcating
that
I
I
you
know,
especially
given
the
item
that
we're
going
to
discuss
later
today.
You
know
women
continue
to
face
discrimination
in
law
and
practice.
According
to
amnesty
intercept
international's
assessment
of
qatar
that,
under
the
guardianship
system,
women
remain
tied
to
their
male
guardian,
usually
their
father
brother
grandfather
uncle
or
for
married
women
to
their
husband.
B
Women
continue
to
need
their
guardian's
permission
for
key
life.
Decisions
to
marry
study
abroad
on
government
scholarships,
work
in
many
government
jobs
travel
abroad
until
certain
ages
and
receive
some
forms
of
reproductive
health
care.
So
I
I
agree,
I
you
know
normally.
I
am
the
first
in
line
to
thank
the
mayor
for
his
advocacy
on
our
on
behalf
of
our
city,
but
I
I
just
can't
do
it
this
time.
Thank
you.
D
Thank
you
all
right.
Any
other
comments,
all
right.
Let's
first
vote
on
the
motion
as
to
item
2.32
and
then
we'll
vote
on
the
remainder
of
the
consent.
Calendar.
I'm
sorry,
okay,
yeah,
we'll
take
separately,
we'll
take
public
comment
on
the
rest
of
the
consent:
calendar.
Okay,
tony
jimenez,
yes,
corrales.
N
A
B
A
P
J
A
J
A
C
D
I
I
There
can
be
a
baseline
of
equity
services
that
I
hope
this
sort
of
item
can
be
addressing
and
good
luck
to
cost
of
living
expenses,
ideas
and
how
that
doesn't
have
to
tie
into
the
future
of
rate
increases
for
rents
each
year
that
that's
a
that
has
to
be
really
controlled
and
they're.
Trying
to
do
that
in
oakland.
Right
now.
Good
luck!
How
san
jose
can
work
on
that
as
well.
I
The
remaining
items
I
think
can
I
can
relate
to
the
items
talked
about
at
a
transportation
committee
meeting.
Yesterday
you
have
some
items
about
the
about
the
future
of
pedestrian
bridge.
You
know
pedestrian
and
bicycle
services
and
stuff,
and
that
that
relates
to.
We
need
good
statistic.
Taking
in
the
next
few
years,
we
can't
be
lying
about
our
statistics.
I
It's
an
important
concept
or
it's
peace,
that
we
have
to
be
learning
for
ourselves
and,
with
my
remaining
time,
the
final
item
about
a
community
energy
renewal
contracts
and
contracts
with
the
future
of
fossil
fuel
groups.
Good
luck
in
those
efforts!
Good
luck!
How
we
can
really
talk
about
what
is
carbon
neutral?
Carbon
neutral
features,
the
ideas
of
nuclear
fuel?
How
can
we
talk
about
renewable
energies
and
our
good
california
plans?
We've
started
now.

Q

We're
going
to
start
with
the
in-person
speakers,
I'm
going
to
call
all
four
names
come
down
in
no
particular
order.
As
soon
as
you
hear
me
come
down
to
the
microphone
the
rest
of
you
line
up
on
the
stairs
behind
the
first
person
who
gets
here
have
raymundo
espinoza.
It
looks
like
sonia,
gerardo
and
aegean.
A
C
Good
afternoon
good
afternoon,
I'm
sonja
tednowski
the
ceo
of
the
indian
host
center
of
santa
clara
valley.
Thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
speak
today.
I
I
appreciate
that
this
item
had
concerns
with
the
community
members,
and
we
have
worked
closely
provided
forums
for
them
to
speak
to
us.
We
also
gave
them
options
as
far
as
what
we
had
done
about
it,
and
this
was
prior
to
covid
and
we've
implemented
all
the
things
that
we
told
them.
We
would
do
we
now
rent
spaces
from
other
businesses
around
us.
C
Honestly,
I
feel,
like
the
request
for
a
stationary
permit,
doesn't
quite
fit
into
our
needs.
We'd,
like
our
mobile
vehicle
to
be
mobile
and
not
stationary,
but
because
we
don't
fit
into
that
specific
ordinance,
we
had
to
request
a
special
use
permit
and
that's
the
reason
why
it's
on
this
under
this
line
item
honestly,
I
would
appreciate
if
the
council
would
consider
just
giving
us
a
letter
stating
that
no
zoning
is
required,
and
then
we
can
get
our
permit
from
the
california
state
department
of
health
so
that
we
can
be
mobile
throughout
the
city.
C
That's
our
goal.
We
want
to
be
able
to
in
reach
in
the
community
provide
services
to
our
unhoused
community,
and
we
know
that
we
have
a
lot
more
than
we've
ever
had
before.
So
bringing
services
to
them,
rather
than
making
them
come
to
our
facility
would
be
really
helpful.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Next
speaker.
Q
C
C
C
E
Oh
only
two
minutes
talk.
I
think
it's
not
enough
for
me,
but
I
will
speak
fast.
First
of
all,
I
don't
understand
why
choosing
the
election
days
for
the
hearing
about
the
land
using
which
is
really
not
fair,
and
because
you
cannot
collect
the
full
information
from
the
residents
I
come
from
western
san
jose.
I
represent
the
maya
hall
school
elementary
schools
communities
and
also
as
well
as
west
san
jose.
E
The
reason
why
I
stand
here
is
because
mile
hill
school
just
be
vote,
because
last
year
I
mean
I
mean
a
few
months
ago
I
mean
doing
a
pandemic,
but
we
surprisingly
found
my
host
schools
was
changing
the
zone
today.
I
want
to
speak
the
resulting
things.
I
don't
understand
why,
where
san
jose
is
only
my
host
school
was
changing
the
zoning
I
mean
quite
a
coincidence
with
the
school
closure.
E
You
know,
I
don't
understand,
are
you
going
to
give
up
the
length
of
the
school
or
you
want
to
build
a
more
high
density
density?
I
mean
housing,
big
huge
giant
amount.
I
mean
monster
building
between
I
mean
I
mean
I
mean
closing
in
the
housing
residence
area
and
why?
Why
do
the
I
mean
rezoning
for
this
school
and
also
for
the
western
jose
the
traffic
which
I'm
I
have
to
say
that
we're
totally
against
it
to
change
the
zoning
to
pqp,
because
we
are
questioning?
Are
you
going
to
build
the
housing?
E
S
I
Hi
hello
beakman
here
I
I
just
wanted
to
offer
a
reminder
that,
in
in
your
work
towards
more
efficient
practices
in
the
future
verbal
urban
village,
design
and
planning,
we
have
to
be
really
cautious,
I
think
and
sensitive,
and
I
don't
think
what's
the
term
you
know
to
make
the
process
easier
in
the
future
and
more
efficient.
I
can't
remember
the
term
that's
used
for
it,
but
you
know
I
don't
think
we
can
do
that
so
much
with
urban
village
things.
I
I
know
you
want
to
efficiency,
make
it
more
efficient
in
some
ways,
but
we
just
can't
really
we
have
to
be
sensitive.
We
have
to
be
cautious,
that's
those
are
my
two
important
words
that
I,
I
think
we'll
be
saying
a
lot
in
the
in
the
coming
weeks
and
months
yeah.
We
have
to
be
wary,
and
so
good
luck
in
in
these
sort
of
zoning
questions
and
issues,
and
I
also
wanted
to
offer
a
certain
amount
of
caution
and
sensitivity.
I
That's
needed
with
the
future
of
fossil
fuel
contracts
in
san
jose
and
we've
been
doing
some
good
work
in
california,
the
past
three
years.
Good
luck!
In
those
continual
efforts
and
a
thank
you
to
the
new
person
giovanni
who's,
been
speaking,
he
was
about
to
make
an
important
point
about
a
fossil
fuel
contract
item
that
was
on
the
consent.
Calendar
agenda
that
tony
taber
very
sadly
didn't
allow
him
to
speak
about.
I
A
C

C

D
C
Hello
for
all
to
give
me
come
to
speak
here,
I'm
the
mayako's
neighborhood.
I
was
very
surprised
that
you
decide
to
change
the
zone
coding
immediately
after
c
usd
decided
to
cross
miajos.
I
noticed
that
maya,
jose
is
the
only
school
that
will
code
to
pqp
total.
I
tell
the
truth.
I
totally
have
no
idea
what
what
does
that
mean,
but
we
we
will
learn
from
the
sparkling
bugling
rezoning.
C
C
C
O
Jill
borders
hi.
Thank
you
jill
borders
here.
I
just
want
to
comment
a
general
comment
when
I'm
looking
at
these
land
use
items.
I've
mentioned
this
before,
but
the
phrase
comes
to
my
mind,
every
single
time
I
can
hear
my
dad's
voice
in
my
head
saying:
confusion
is
of
the
devil
he
would
say,
and
I
am
always
confused
whenever
I
read
all
of
what
you
know.
These
land
changes
are
going
to
be
the
zoning
and
making
it
to
go
to
the
general
plan.
O
Zoning
and
all
of
this
you
know
this
is
all
very
confusing,
and
I
really
wish,
if
I
could,
you
know,
have
a
solution
for
this.
I
really
wish
the
planning
department.
I
know
they
don't
have
time,
but
if
they
did
have
time,
it'd
be
really
nice.
If
we
had
some
educational
meetings,
they
could
be
zoomed.
O
No,
no,
that's
not
land
use
designation,
not
zoning!
That's
not
zoning!
That's
land
use!
Now
that
we're
aligning
them.
It
appears
to
me
that
we're
just
sort
of
throwing
a
bundle
of
these
into
what
we
call
urban
village
zoning
district
that
I
really
have
never
been
familiar
with.
So
I
just
wanted
you
to
know
that
I
try
to
stay
up
on
these
things,
but
I'm
very
confused.
O
I
would
love
an
educational
session
and
I'd
also
like
to
mention
that
one
of
them
does
say
light
industrial
zoning,
district,
2,
the
uv
urban
village,
zoning
district,
and
I
was
told
quite
distinctively
because
it
had
to
do
with
the
property
across
from
our
mobile
home
park
that
I
said
you
know.
Why
are
we
being
changed?
Why
not
the
light
industrial?
So
we
have
this
lovely
urban
village
plan
and
they
said
we
would
never
touch
light
industrial,
and
here
we
have
so
confusion,
giovanni.
C
Hi,
can
you
hear
me?
Yes,
hi?
Okay,
I
just
wanted
to
thank
the
guy
that
stuck
up
for
me
earlier
yeah.
My
name
is
giovanni
by
the
way
and
thank
you
for
letting
me
speak
this
time
like
I
was
trying
to
speak
last
time
about
something
that
I
felt
like
was
important
to
me
as
a
latino
coming
from
the
middle
class
in
san
jose,
I
felt
like
what
I
was
going
to
speak
on
was
important,
but
I'm
getting
used
to
the
these
public
speakings
I'm
I
just
started
getting
involved
this
week.
C
A
E
E
E
Have
you
really
evaluated
the
environmental
impact
traffic
impact
and
safety
impact
at
one
hand,
the
school
district
closing
to
west
san
jose
neighborhood
school,
stating
the
enrollment
decline
right
and
then
pack
off
k
to
5
student
in
west
entire
west
san
jose
to
one
school
in
to
delaware,
making
delaware's
the
largest
elementary
school
in
the
entire
neighboring
school
district
and,
on
the
other
hand,
we're
changing
zoning
to
you
know
to
make
a
multi-family
zoning
to
you
know
urban
ub
and
you
know
to
accommodate
high
density.
You
know
buildings.
This
is
kind
of
like
ridiculous.
N
Yeah
thanks
mayor
chris
burton
director
of
planning,
building,
kermit
boston,
so
obviously
we've
covered
a
lot
of
ground
there.
I
just
want
to.
Can
I
just
reference
the
rezoning
first
just
to
talk
about
the
school
and
the
pqp?
Obviously
this
is
the
next
in
a
series
of
ab1333
rezonings
that
align
our
zoning
with
our
general
plan.
N
So
the
school
property
has
an
existing
pqp
general
plan
designation,
which
is
appropriate.
It's
pqp
stands
for
public
quasi-public.
It's
a
land-use
designation,
that's
used
for
schools,
community
centers,
other
quasa.
You
know
public
quasi-public
types
of
land
uses
so
we're
actually
sort
of
bringing
that
into
consistency.
N
Obviously,
the
planning
department
is
currently
working
on
policy
work
around
the
future
use
of
school
lands
where
they're
surplus
under
our
what
we
call
our
yosel
work,
which
is
yes
on
school
lands
as
we
look
at
the
potential
for
future
uses
for
surplus
school
ends,
but
that
that
will
come
later
on
right
now.
This
action
is
just
keeping
us
in
line
with
state
law,
as
as
far
as
the
special
use
permit,
there's
a
number
of
different
things
sort
of
going
on
there.
N
So
we
actually
think
this
is
an
appropriate
use
for
the
site.
The
site
is
actually
slightly
over
parked.
So
while
we're
working
with
the
neighborhood
and
being
very
mindful
around
how
the
parking
impacts
the
surrounding
neighborhood,
technically
by
the
standards
of
the
zoning
ordinance,
it
meets
those
requirements
and
that's
the
action
that
you
have
before
you
is
the
use
of
that
as
a
mobile
vending
facility
on
site
with
regards
to
use
of
that
vehicle
off
the
site,
that's
not
something
that
we
currently
regulate
through
the
zoning
code.
N
In
that
way,
we
there's
probably
a
little
bit
more
work
that
we
would
want
to
do
to
coordinate
that
and
understand
what
the
applicant
is
looking
for
for
their
authorization
through
other
bodies
but
as
a
vehicle,
that's
sort
of
moving
around
other
sites.
That's
not
something
we
would
necessarily
regulate
in
this
way.
So
really
what
we're
talking
about
is
the
use
of
that
vehicle
on
the
site.
That's
the
special
use.
D
Right,
okay
and
obviously
we're
in
the
land
use
business,
so
we
don't
regulate
vehicles
that
move
around.
So
I
guess
I'm
looking
at
our
fearless
leader
of
gardner
healthcare
and
hoping
that
he
might
explain
what
he
what
he
believes
he
needs
from
us
in
order
to
move
forward.
Raymundo.
Do
you
want
to
I'm
sorry
I
can't
tell.
Is
that
that
is
raymundo?
Isn't
it
yeah
remember,
could
you
could
you
come
forward?
I
think
I
think
we'd
like
to
understand
better.
D
C
D
N
F
Yeah
I
just
wanted
to
be
clear.
I
just
raised
the
question
of
parking.
It
wasn't
because
I
objected
to
the
expansion
and
the
mobile
clinic
that
aspirations
that
you
have.
I
think
that's
a
great
idea,
but
so
I
just
wanted
to
be
clear.
I
actually
am
very
supportive
of
the
proposal
in
front
of
us
and
I
had
several
questions
related
to
the
use
permit
and
and
all
of
that
so
you're
able
to
what
we're
doing
today,
you're
able
to
offer
stationery
on
your
site,
but
that's
not
really
what
you
want
to
do.
F
C
C
A
K
C
I
J
Mayhem,
thanks
mayor,
my
question
was
actually
for
chris
on
the
school
sites,
not
on
the
mobile
unit.
Thank
you
so
chris
I
just
I
wanted
to
go
back
to
that.
I
know
you
gave
us
a
little
bit
of
a
summary
there,
but
I'm
certainly
hearing
concerns
not
not
just
in
district
one.
Certainly
in
my
own
district
I
know.
Last
year
we
approved
a
project
in
district
nine,
I
think
as
school
sites
as
we're
seeing
declining
student
enrollment
sites
are
being
shut
down.
J
I
think
there
is
a
lot
of
concern
in
the
community
about
what
our
plan
is
or
what
we
would
like
to
see
happen
on
these
sites.
I
certainly
hear
from
many
residents
a
desire,
if
possible,
to
see
public
benefit,
continue
to
come
from
these
sites
and
not
just
housing,
but
you
know,
I
guess
my
question,
for
you
is
what
what
is
our
plan
for
having
a
plan?
J
When
are
we
going
to
be
able
to
communicate
with
the
public
as
to
what
our
vision
is
for
these
sites
and
what
the
best
uses
are,
because
I
understand-
and
maybe
you
want
to
repeat
for
folks
that
we're
we're
following
state
law
here
and
trying
to
get
in
compliance,
so
we
can
separate
that
piece
out.
It
sounds
like
we
need
to
take
that
action,
but
more
broadly,
you
mentioned
our
plan
for
school
lands,
and
I
just
was
hoping
you
could
say
a
little
more
on
that.
N
N
It
may
have
predated
that
even
and
and
yes
you're
right,
so
we
have
a
longer
term
plan
to
look
at
how
we
sort
of
consider
eqp
lands
in
a
number
of
different
ways,
and
I
wanted
to
sort
of
broaden
the
question
just
slightly
because
I
think
it's
important
to
sort
of
you
know
focus
on
the
perspective
that
we
need
a
balanced
mix
of
land
uses
throughout
the
city.
Now
pqp
lands
aren't
just
school
sites,
the
churches,
you
know,
there's
the
community
centers,
there's
a
whole
host
of
other
uses
that
are
appropriate.
N
I
think
to
your
point.
You
know,
as
we
look
forward
to
the
future.
You
know
we
know
that
the
school
enrollments
can
be
cyclical.
We
know
that
the
demographics
are
working
against
us
throughout
san
jose
in
a
number
of
different
ways.
So
we
have
to
have
you
know
a
lot
of
consideration
for
how
we
see
those
lands.
It's
certainly
not
something
where
we're
looking
to
convert
them
to
straight
to
residential.
N
J
J
J
We
have,
and
I'm
certainly
hearing
very
consistently
from
the
community
that
they're
worried
about
our
school
sites,
simply
being
rezoned
developed
as
housing
and
then
that's
kind
of
it,
and
so
I
just
I
think
we
need
to
make
sure
we're
doing
what
we
can
to
preserve
opportunities
for
public
uses,
public
benefits
on
those
sites
where
appropriate.
So
I
look
forward
to
that
conversation.
I'd
encourage
us
to
certainly
incorporate
community
input
into
that
process,
as
you
begin
it
later
in
the
year,
yeah.
N
R
Thanks,
try
to
be
quick
I'll,
preface
this
by
saying
I'm
a
little
uncomfortable
that
we're
having
a
conversation,
an
item
that
wasn't
pulled
from
the
consent,
but
I'm
going
to
do
it
anyway,
since
everyone
else
has
so.
I
just
want
to
first
of
all
just
make
comments
about
the
the
item
on
pqp
this.
This
zoning
is
zoning
it
for
school
use.
It's
making
sure
that
the
zone
says
pqp
is
this:
this
site
is
a
pqp
site
and
a
school
can
be
there.
It's
not
changing
it.
R
I
want
the
public
to
understand
that,
but
I
just
want
to
say
one
other
thing
about
these
kind
of
lands.
These
we
don't
own
this
land,
we
don't
control
this
land.
These
are
school,
district
properties
and
school
districts
are
autonomous
bodies
and
I'm
always
very
cautious
about
us
as
a
school
city
telling
school
districts
what
they
can
and
can't
do
with
their
land.
R
Obviously
we
control
overall
zoning,
so
we
will
be
making
decisions
about
how
and
what
appropriate
zoning
use,
but
we
also
should
be
partners
with
our
local
school
districts
who
are
trying
to
serve
a
valuable
function
to
our
community,
and
I
get
very
concerned
when
we
sit
here
and
say
that
we
should
have,
you
know,
be
dictating
use
for
school,
but
this
particular
action
today
makes
no
decision
about
a
school
property
except
that
a
school
can
be
there
and
that
the
zoning
previously
was
not
aligned
with
that.
So
it's
important
for
the
public
to
understand.
D
A
D
F
A
F
A
D
D
Okay,
cool,
given
the
challenges
we've
got
with
the
schedule
today,
thanks
robert
thanks
chris
we're
going
to
take
a
few
items
that
were
agendized
and
noticed
to
the
public.
I'm
going
to
prioritize
those
so
we're
going
to
first
go
to
9.1
successor
agency
board,
the
san
jose
redevelopment
agency,
rob's
schedule
for
2223,
and
I
don't
think
there's
any
presentation
here
am
I
opening
a
hearing.
Is
that
what
I'm
doing?
C
I
Hi
glad
beefman
here
I
don't.
This
is
some
sort
of
budgeting
for
2022
and
23
and
you're
just
starting
to
better
talk
about
that,
and
I
just
wanted
to
note
that
at
this
time
and
good
luck,
how
these
sort
of
items
can
be
open
and
accountable,
how
we
can
really
view
and
peer
into
responsible
practices
into
2023..
F
F
D
Okay,
item
3.6:
I
know
some
folks
have
been
waiting
for
this
for
a
while
on
the
back
there
renewal.
This
is
a
downtown
property
based
business
improvement,
district
affectionately
known
as
the
pbid.
Now
I
got
a
script
here,
so
everybody
hang
tight
here.
We
go
item.
3.6
is
the
public
hearing
and
assessment
ballot,
proceeding
on
the
renewal
expansion
levy
of
the
annual
assessments
to
property
owners
within
the
downtown
san
jose
property
base
business
improvement
district.
D
The
council
will
open
the
public
hearing
on
this
item
in
order
to
hear
and
consider
all
testimony
by
interested
persons
relating
to
the
renewal
and
expansion
of
the
district.
At
that
time,
the
city
clerk
will
begin
to
collect,
ballots
and
commence
tabulating
the
ballots.
The
council
will
also
consider
authorizing
the
city
clerk
to
vote
in
favor
of
district
renewal
and
expansion
as
the
owner
of
property
within
the
district
prior
to
the
close
of
the
public
hearing
council
will
direct
all
property
owners
who
have
not
already
submitted
their
bout
to
submit
their
ballots
to
the
city.
D
O
Hi,
just
a
quick
question
for
clarity.
I
was
reading
the
letter
that
it's
attached
this
item
and
at
the
beginning
it
says
I
request
the
city,
manager
or
city
clerk
to
please
read
this
letter
during
public
presentation.
Is
that
something
that
is
ever
done
up
to
two
minutes
where
you
read
the
letters
out
loud
that
are
sent
in
I'm
just
curious?
It's
point
of
clarification.
D
All
right,
so
I
assume
it's
premature
norm.
Sorry
to
hit
you
with
this
question
as
you're
checking
but
yeah.
I
think
it's
is
it
premature
for
me
to
ask
the
council
to
consider
approving
a
motion
authorizing
the
clerk
to
vote
in
favor
of
district
renewal
relating
to
the
city's
property,
or
should
we
be
waiting
until
next
week
to
do
that?
No.

Those
tenants
who
have
been
hurt
by
covid
and,
of
course,
are
well
we're,
not
fiscally
conservative,
I
mean
so
we
spend
an
awful
lot
of
money
and
it's
we
have
a
lot
of
people
who
are
gonna
go
out
of
business.
You
know
you
target
mcdonald's,
whatever
one
thing,
but
susie's
nails
or
sam's
foe,
whatever
you
wanna
whatever
it
is,
this
increase
in
one
year
is
going
to
hurt
them
significantly.
C
What
I'd
asked
for?
I
wrote
a
letter
and
I
hope
you
all
read
it.
I
think
it's
something
you
could
amortize
I
I
guess
we
have
to
expand
the
facilities
and
make
improvements
and
that's
fine,
but
let's
push
it
over
some
number
of
years
out
to
the
future
so
that
we
don't
hurt
these
people
who
are
already
suffering
due
to
the
losses
they
suffered
from
covet.
C
S
S
I
You
know
it
sounds
like
it
could
be
really
helpful
for
an
item
such
as
this,
and
that
the
other
thing
I
wanted
to
mention
is
that
it
can.
It
can
simply
be
okay
to
talk
about
the
concepts
of
a
sea
level
rise
as
a
community
effort.
At
this
time
it
doesn't
have
to
be
alarmist.
It
doesn't
have
to
be
frightening.
I
T
I
know
that
san
jose
and
the
city
council
takes
climate
change
very
seriously,
and
so,
when
you
vote
over
here,
I
would
really
urge
you
to
think
about
what
you
can
do
to
encourage
the
people
that
do
not
use
more
and
and
and
create
a
create
options.
In
these
programs
that
we
are
not
overcharged,
like
the
rest
of
the
people
who
don't
care
about
this,
thank
you.
A
The
total
of
all
written
protests
together
the
total
of
all
written
protests
during
the
public
protest
period
together
with
this
public
speakers
protesting.
The
rate
changes
today
represents
less
than
one
percent
of
all
customers
impacted
by
the
change
in
sanitary
sewer
rates.
Therefore,
council
may
consider
staff's
recommendation
for
sanitary
sewer
service
and
use
charge
rate
increases.
D
Thank
you,
okay,
carrie,
I
know
you're
here.
Would
you
or
anyone
on
your
team
just
like
to
explain
for
those
who
are
present?
I
know
there
was
no
radio
increases.
I
recall
last
year,
roughly
on
average
nine
percent
or
so
increase
this
year.
Do
you
want
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
the
the
nature
and
the
basis
for
the
increase.
M
Thank
you,
carrie
romney,
director
environmental
services
and
I'm
joined
by
nick
aljunie,
our
admin
officer,
who
runs
all
the
numbers
for
us.
So
so,
as
you
may
recall,
last
year
there
was
no
increase
which,
which
does
impact
this
year's
increases
and
the
increase.
The
increases
are
for
needed
improvements
to
the
regional
wastewater
facility,
as
well
as
our
city-wide
collection
system.
Both
both
do
require
investment
and
the
increase
is
works
out
to
approximately
an
additional
three
dollars
per
month
for
residential
customers,
and
we
we
did
sort
of
downsize
as
much
as
we
could.
D
M
We
do
our
finance
department
has
done
an
excellent
job,
sort
of
smoothing
the
rates
as
a
result
of
the
needed
capital
improvements,
the
operating
and
maintenance
dollars.
We
don't
finance,
we
do.
We
do
pay
as
you
go
for
those
and
those
are
impacted
as
well
by
some
of
the
capital
programs,
but-
and
we
have,
through
our
financing
plan
sort
of,
as
you
indicate
amortize
it
and
spread
it
out
over
over
a
longer
period
of
time
than
just
each
year.
D
Okay
and
when
you
came
in
as
director,
I
think
you
inherited
a
system
that
was
about
you
know
a
waste
plant,
for
example,
that
was
about
40
or
50
years
old
50,
I
guess
probably,
when
you
came
in
and
you're
now
undertaking
a
multi-billion
dollar
capital
upgrade.
I
assume
that
there
is
not
much
room
for
error
in
terms
of
replacing
aging
sewer
equipment
in
a
city
of
this
size.
You
want
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
why
why
it's
imperative?
We
actually
spend
the
dollars
to
invest
to
replace
the
facility.
M
Thank
you,
so,
in
in
2013,
council
adopted
the
plant
master
plan
which
set
out
a
plan
to
ensure
the
continued
safe
operation
of
the
wastewater
treatment
facility,
and
so
that
plan
laid
out
our
capital
project.
How
we
would
finance
them,
how
we
would
spread
them
over
a
15-year
year,
15-ish
year
timeline
and
then
what's
important
to
remember
is
that
the
wastewater
facility
is
operating
while
we're
doing
the
the
rebuild,
and
so
we
have
successfully
not
had
releases
into
the
bay
which
we
would
like
to
continue.
D
R
L
R
R
R
We
benchmark
against
that
I'll.
Just
be
curious
to
know
is:
are
we
competitive
in
that
regard,
and
then
my
last
question?
Maybe
I
don't
know
if
it's
for
you
or
more
generally
and
it's
I
want
to
ask
this
about
all
three
of
the
items
we
have
coming
up.
It
includes
the
garbage
and
the
water
after
that.
What
kind
of
resources
do
we
have
as
a
city
as
an
area
to
help
people
who
have
trouble
paying
these
increased
rates,
whether
it's
small
businesses
or
residential
customers.
M
For
the
sewer
service
and
use
charge
because
it
is
regulated
by
prop
218,
as
most
most
of
our
most
of
our
funds
are,
we
do
not
have
a
low
income
program.
It
is
charged
on
the
property.
Taxes
for
residential
businesses
are
handled
a
little
bit
differently,
but-
and
we
presently
don't
have
any
low
income
support.
Programs
and
the
general
fund
could
decide
to
take
that
on
and
that's
something
that
and
that.
Certainly
we
could
explore,
but
it's
not
something
that
we're
budgeted
to
explore.
R
M
It
doesn't
exist
to
our
knowledge
to
it,
so
it's
very
different
from
the
drinking
water
incentives
or
reba,
or
support
that
we've
seen
over
the
last
year
or
two
related
to
the
pandemic,
and
the
sewer
service
and
use
charge
is
a
flat
fee
and
that's
how
we
have
chosen
to
administer
it
over
the
last
several
decades
and
we
do
that
and
which
differs
from
some
cities
will
do
it
based
on
your
water
use.
So
how
much
you're
discharging
which
one
of
the
callers
referred
to?
M
We
don't
do
it
that
way,
because
historically,
the
administrative
costs
of
that
would
be
very
fairly
significant
and
certainly
something
as
rates
continue
to
rise.
We
may
want
to
to
look
at
that
would
shift
the
cost
differently,
so
a
household
with
a
lot
more
people
and
it
would
pay
a
lot
more
than
a
household
with
with
fewer
people.
R
M
M
Thank
you
councilmember
fully.
I'm
sorry,
councilmember
cohen,
I
nick
just
gave
me
the
the
rate
comparison
and-
and
we
are,
for
example,
41
and
64
cents
currently
and
milpitas
is
59.17,
so
we're
actually
the
lowest
cost
of
milpitas
sunnyvale
cupertino
west
valley
mountain
view,
santa
clara
and
palo
alto.
R
M
R
F
Thank
you
just
to
confirm
the
this
increase
will
show
up
on
the
residential
property
tax
bill.
Is
that
correct?
Yes,
okay,
so
it'll
show
up
the
consumers
or
property
owners
won't
see
this
until
they
get
their
bill
in
september
or
november
and
which
isn't,
due
until
december
and
split
okay,
I'm
just
trying
to
make
sure
and
then,
but
you
said,
that's
not
how
businesses
are
billed.
F
L
Thank
you
yeah,
so
the
small
businesses,
though,
that
we
have,
I
believe,
there's
six
to
eight
thousand
small
businesses
in
san
jose.
They
are
billed
on
the
property
tax
rule.
Now
it's
compared
to
the
large
industries
or
monitored
industries.
There's
about
30
of
them
that
are
direct
build.
I
believe
quarterly.
F
So,
as
a
small
business
owner,
I'm
going
to
see
a
bill
on
the
personal
on
the
property
taxes
that
I
pay
related
to
the
prop
personal
property
that
I
own,
I
don't
get
a
property
tax
bill.
I
get
a.
I
have
to
file
a
tax
assessment
on
the
prop
personal
property
that
I
own.
So
where
am
I
going
to
see
this
on
my
bill?
F
M
F
J
Thanks
mayor
appreciate
my
colleagues
questions,
councilmember
cohen,
exhausted,
most
of
mine.
I
did
want
to
pick
up
on
on
one
point
he
was
getting
to
and
I
I
still
was
unclear
on
why
this
year
would
be
nine
percent
last
year,
zero
percent,
if
we're
explicitly
trying
to
smooth
cost
increases,
I
mean.
Is
there
a
reason
we
didn't
aim
to
do
four
and
a
half
each
year
or
just
because
I
think
the
sticker
shock
of
nine
percent
is,
is
a
big
deal
for
many
people.
M
C
M
And
try
and
smooth
things
because
of
the
cumulative
effect
of
all
rate
increases,
and-
and
so
you
know,
garbage
was
pretty
high
last
year
and
so
so
looking
to
kind
of
minimize,
or
at
least
moderate,
the
the
total
impact
of
it.
But
we
also
have
some
significant
large
projects
in
play
this
year,
including
the
dewatering
project
that
that
is
fairly
expensive
and
will
also
have
a
increased
o
m
cost
and.
J
M
J
Yeah
I
figured
the
pandemic
was
part
of
the,
and
the
other
rates
were
part
of
the
story
there
and
then
just
on
the
end
of
this
two-year
bump
is
it?
Is
it
not?
Is
it
would
it
not
make
sense
for
us
to
extend
that
second
year
over
the
course
of
years
three
and
four,
rather
than
go
993
or
whatever
you
just
said
it
might
be?
I
don't
remember
the
exact
numbers.
M
So
we
find
we
do
finance
the
capital
projects,
but
the
o
m
projects
we
don't
finance,
and
so
so,
where
there's
where
we
need
to
absorb
increased
operations
and
maintenance
costs
those
those
do
result
in
increase
because
they're
not
financed
and
so,
and
so
the
rate
forecasts
that
we're
referring
to
now
are
exclusive
of
collection
system
needs.
So,
as
the
collection
system
continues
to
do
their
master
planning,
our
expectation
is,
they
will
also
have
some
increased
needs
and
then
we'll
look
to
bundle
those
together
to
have
a
smooth
increase.
M
I
don't
know,
but
definitely
something
that
and
that
we'll
look
to
assess
in
the
next
year,
but
as
you
can
imagine
that
the
administrative
costs
of
reading
water
meters
et
cetera
san
jose
water,
has
put
forward
a
request
to
the
state
that
they
can
release
that
information
more
readily
to
cities.
That'll
help
reduce
some
of
the
burden
to
collect
that
information,
but
it
would
also
result
in
rate
changes,
so
your
bill
would
fluctuate.
Based
on
your
your
usage,
which.
M
C
A
We'll
go
here's
the
script:
oh
there's
a
script
for
this
one
and
the
next
one,
subsequent
to
esd
supplemental
memorandum
dated
june
2nd,
the
city
clerk's
office,
received
49
additional
residential
garbage
and
recycling
rate
protests.
Therefore,
the
total
number
of
valid
written
protests
is
303
for
the
proposed
residential
garbage
and
recycling
rates,
and
now.
A
C
C
T
I
I
do
see
that
as
a
system
you,
you
have
to
raise
the
rates
to
to
understand
how
you
can
continue
to
offer
the
service
to
all
residents
but
reward
the
people
who
use
the
service
less,
don't
make
everyone
pay
the
same
amount
of
money,
allow
the
system
to
be
redesigned
and
implemented
so
that
people
can
pay
for
what
they
use.
Everything
in
this
country
works
on
the
principle
of
how
much
you
use
if
you're
more
efficient,
with
how
much
gas
you
put
in
your
car.
You
pay
less
for
gas.
T
S
I've
already
stated
some
of
the
reasons
fixed
income
being
a
public
school
teacher
and
with
a
wife
who
is
a
small
business
owner,
etc,
etc,
but
also
the
service.
I
have
been
in
contact
with
the
service
providers
multiple
times
over
the
years
as
I
have
been
a
property
owner,
and
they
don't
really
do
what
they're
supposed
to
do.
S
So
the
the
service
provider
is
also
problematic,
at
least
in
my
neighborhood,
and
even
more
than
that,
it
just
comes
down
to
the
cost
and
and
not
everybody
has
the
time
to
come
and
speak
at
a
forum
like
this
or
even
the
wherewithal
to
engage
with
civic
opportunities
by
submitting
written
requests
which
isn't
the
easiest
through
our
city.
So
again,
even
though
there
might
be
a
small
percentage
of
based
off
of
the
population
of
san
jose
that
are
speaking
today,
it
isn't
a
small
percentage
that
is
against
the
rate
increases.
A
I
I
That
city
government
knows
how
to
talk
to
the
community
about
the
subsidy
options
available
to
themselves,
and
I
think
nicely
fits
into
what
a
few
speakers
back
had
so
good
luck:
how
how
to
work
on
these
issues
and
the
importance
of
being
open
at
this
time
and
clear
what
what
choices
we
have
for
ourselves
that
that's
three
quarters
of
the
battle
right
there
and
that
that's?
What
builds
a
more
harmonious,
better
community
experience
for
all
of
us.
Good
luck
in
those
efforts
and
a
quick
reminder.
I
E
A
That
goes
back
to
me
again,
the
total
of
all
written
protests
during
the
public
protest
period
together
with
the
speakers
protesting.
The
rate
changes
today
represents
less
than
one
percent
of
all
customers
impacted
by
the
change
in
residential
garbage
and
recycling
rates.
Therefore,
council
may
consider
staff's
recommendation
for
residential
garbage
and
recycling.
N
R
I
don't
want
to
rehash
that
this
year,
but
I
just
a
couple
of
questions
and
comments
about
about
levels
of
garbage
and
how
we
can
chart.
I
mean
somebody
raised
a
question
about:
can
we
charge
by
use
and
in
some
sense
we
do
because
we
have
different
size
cans
and
when
you
get
a
larger,
can
you
pay
more?
R
R
And
we
we
again,
we
talked
about
this
last
year.
I'm
excited
to
see
interested
to
see
the
results
of
of
the
study
and
our
plans
moving
forward
because
we
talked
about
in
order
to
reduce
contamination
of
recycling
potentially
giving
everybody
the
larger
can
without
charging
different
rates.
That's
still
on
the
table,
I
assume,
but
we
just
don't
know
exactly
how
it's
gonna
yeah.
M
And
then-
and
this
november
is
our
second
curbside
study,
so
so
every
two
years
we
do
a
curbside
study
to
to
see
what's
in
the
recycling,
cart
and
the
levels
of
contamination,
and
so
as
we
move
away
from
from
the
pandemic
conditions.
Our
hope
is
that
that
contamination
will
reduce,
and
then
that
would
have
an
associated
rate
reduction
rate
reduction.
It
would
have
a
a
reduction
in
cost
that
we
pay
the
haulers,
which
may
or
may
not
result
in
a
rate
reduction
and.
R
R
And
then
the
only
thing
I
would
say
I
mean.
Obviously
these
rates
include
a
lot
of
other
things.
They
include
yard
waste,
they
include
a
large
item
pickup
and
that
I
just
I've
been
amazed
to
find
out
how
few
people
understand
know
about
long
large
item
pickup.
I
know
we
tried
to
promote
it.
I
wanna
I
want
us
to
think
about
waste,
promote
it
more
when
I'm
at
the
dumpster
day,
and
we
have
people
showing
up
with
their
couch
in
the
back.
R
I
say:
wouldn't
it
have
been
much
easier
for
you
to
just
put
this
in
front
of
your
house
and
schedule
a
large
item
pickup
and
they
just
they
said.
What
do
you
mean?
I
don't
even
I
don't
know
how
to
do
that,
and
so
people
just
don't
know,
what's
happening,
and
it's
shocking
to
me,
because
I
would
never
want
to
take
the
time
to
actually
bring
it
somewhere.
If
I
didn't
have
to
so.
M
And
and
a
lot
of
a
lot
more
people
know
about
the
program.
I'm
going
to
ask
deputy
director
valerie
osmond
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
the
increased
usage
which
also,
as
you
know,
does
have
an
impact
on
our
costs.
But
there's
a
lot
of
folks
that
are
using
the
system
which
we're
thankful
for,
but
certainly
looking
to
gain
more
more
users.
L
Thank
you,
carrie
valerie,
osmond,
deputy
director
environmental
services.
So
when
we
made
the
junk
pickup
program
free
and
unlimited
several
years
ago,
we
saw
a
significant
increase
each
year
about
40
to
50
percent
of
increase
in
use,
which
has
been
great.
Interestingly,
in
the
last
year,
we've
seen
that
level
off
a
little
bit,
but
we
have
seen
an
increase
of
first-time
users.
So
I
think
the
word
is
continuing
to
get
out
there
and
more
and
more
residents
are
programmed.
R
D
D
D
M
A
D
A
Subsequent
to
esd's
supplemental
memorandum
dated
june
2nd,
the
city
clerk's
office
has
received
six
additional
potable
weight
rate
water
rate
protests.
Therefore,
the
total
number
of
valid
written
protests
is
81
for
the
proposed
potable
water
rates.
No
protests
have
been
received
in
response
to
the
proposed
recycled
water
rates
and
we'll
go
to
public
speakers.
A
A
So,
oh
so
that
goes
back
to
me.
Sorry,
the
total
of
all
written
protests
received
during
the
public
protest
period
represents
less
than
one
percent
of
all
customers
impacted
by
the
change
in
water
retail
rates.
Therefore,
council
may
consider
staff's
recommendation
for
municipal
water
system
rate
increases.
D
A
B
Thank
you
mayor.
I
wanted
to
ask
a
question
on
the
programs
to
assist
folks
with
paying
their
water
bills,
so
it
talked.
The
memo
talked
about
the
rare
ridges
program
that
then
talked
about
the
local
water
assistance
program
that
only
just
started
to
accept
applications
for
up
to
two
thousand
dollars
to
pay
water
bills.
Can
you
talk
a
little
bit
more
about
the
program?
How
we're
getting
the
word
out.
I
believe
all
of
us
have
have
shared
that
information
in
our
newsletters
and
social
media
and
all
that.
B
M
S
Here
and
thank
you
thank
you,
mayor
and
council
jeff
provenzano,
deputy
director
environmental
services
department.
That's
a
good
question.
The
sacred
heart,
who
is
the
local
service
provider,
is
just
now
finishing
their
web
page
to
begin
enrollment
and
application
in
the
program.
We
actually
have
a
city
staff,
san
jose
water
company
and
great
oaks,
water
company
collaboration
meeting
this
friday
with
sacred
heart
to
talk
to
them
about
their
upcoming
web
page
and
how
we
and
the
messaging
that
we
can
do
to
help
get
customers
to
enroll
in
that
program.
S
We're
also
looking
at
developing
city-wide
content
as
city
staff
to
develop
city-wide
content
that
we
can
share
with
council
offices
and
work
with
other
city
departments
to
to
really
target
our
our
outreach
on
the
muni
water
side
and
some
of
the
other
utilities
that
we
have
with
their
customers
that
we
know
have
struggled
in
the
past
to
make
bills
we'll
do
targeted
outreach
to
them
to
let
them
know
of
the
program
and
get
them
connected
with
sacred
heart.
This
is,
in
addition
to
some
of
the
other
programs
that
sacred
heart
is,
is
doing.
J
B
B
Last
year,
when
we
talked
about
some
of
the
the
assistance
programs
that
are
out
there
for
folks,
one
of
the
reasons
we
went
to
sacred
heart
is
sort
of
a
one-stop
shop,
help
like
rental
assistance.
Other
utility
assistants,
because
you
know
inflation
is
high.
People
are
getting
hammered
on
in
every
way,
is
sacred
heart
then
going
to
take
what
information
they
get
in
from
this
website
and
and
see
if
folks
need
help
in
other
programs
as
well.
D
D
Great
thank
you
item.
We're
gonna
hop
around
a
little
here.
Everybody
will
just
hang
on
and
watch
carefully
we're
gonna
go
next
to
5.1,
which
is
a
a
contract
we'd
like
to
get
done,
so
we
can
start
paving
some
streets.
So
5.1
is
pavement.
Fire
eoc,
transit
capital
improvements,
local
streets,
resurfacing,
number
two
project,
there's
no
presentation,
but
john,
is
here
and
happy
to
answer
your
question
remove
approval.
I
I
I
have
been
attending
city
of
berkeley
city
council
meetings,
lately
they're
just
starting
to
go
through
the
same
process.
They
really
have
resurfacing
issues
with
their
streets,
they're
thinking
of
starting
bond
issues
up
for
it
and
they're
questioning
if
they
should
have
something
like
a
measure.
T
public
oversight
process
like
what
we
have
here
in
san
jose
as
a
way
to
kind
of
safeguard
and
to
monitor
how
the
entire
process
is
going.
I
It
was
a
very
important
matter
to
have
the
public
oversight
committee
and
I
I
thank
you
immensely
for
it.
I
think
it's
it's
an
important
committee
to
have
commission
to
have,
and
you
know,
they've
been
asking
how
they
can
better
connect
with
the
community
and
I've
described.
I've
always
have
had
hopes
that
this
could
be
a
sort
of
oversight
committee
that
could
delve
into
questions
of
technology
surveillance,
and
you
know
that
will
be
a
part
of
the
some.
I
It
can
allow
what
measure
t
is
asking
for
this
time,
where
the
oversight
board
and
that
that
they
want
a
more
accessible,
open
public
process
that
the
work
I'm
doing
with
with
technology
accessibility
and
its
guidelines
can
really
help.
In
that
process,
I
mean
the
work
I
do
has
a
number
of
ways
that
can
help
community
and
good
luck
with
the
measure,
t,
oversight,
committee
and
and
all
the
measured
key
practices.
K
D
A
A
G
A
C
D
A
D
Q
So
we've
done
just
that
a
lot
of
traction
on
these
issues.
I'll
start.
First,
with
the
status
of
infant
formula,
you
know
there
is
no
single
place
to
kind
of
go,
get
this
information.
So,
together
with
the
county,
we
did
a
cursory
review
of
the
impact
of
of
this
crisis
on
san
jose
and-
and
we
know
that
nationally,
over
40
percent
of
large
retailers
were
out
of
stock.
Q
Some
states
even
reported
73
percent
of
of
need
in
their
respective
communities
in
san
jose.
We
basically
reached
out
to
the
major
chains
either
by
phone,
or
we
visited
them
to
to
assess
the
availability
formula
and
approximately
60
percent
of
them
had
either
no
formula
or
just
very
minimal
formula
on
their
shelves.
Q
We,
what
we
also
did
was
we
kind
of
reached
out
to
some
of
these
larger
retailers.
To
also
ask
and
assess,
are
things
getting
better
worse,
staying
the
same
and
so
forth,
and
what
most
reported
to
us
is
that
over
time,
they
they
are
seeing
increases
in
in
shipments
to
their
stores
and
so
and
they
expect
that
to
increase
over
the
next
few
weeks.
Q
At
the
same
time,
we
also
know
that
that
abbott
laboratories
brought
their
site
back
online
on
june
4th
and
that's
pretty
significant
and
and
and
in
the
last
few
weeks.
We
also
know
that
they
they
pivoted
and
took
their
columbus
ohio
plant
and
really
prioritized
the
production
of
formula
at
that
location.
Q
We
also
reached
out
to
the
local
hospitals
and
they
have
been
receiving
increased
supply
from
the
federal
government.
Of
course,
nurseries
are
prioritized
in
terms
of
this
distribution,
but
parents
who
also
need
access
to
formula
can
also
either
receive
this
formula
from
their
local
hospitals
and
or
their
referred
for
for
supply.
Q
In
addition
to
that,
san
jose's
own
mother's
milk
bank,
which
is
the
oldest
operating
milk
bank
in
north
north
america,
and
is
located
right
here
in
our
own
community,
has
really
stepped
up
in
a
really
big
way.
And
many
of
you
know,
the
milk
bank
was
founded
here
in
san
jose
and
really
focuses
on
on
on
deploying
human
milk.
A
need
non-prescription-based
human
milk
need
for
premature
infants,
so
things
do
appear
to
get
appear
to
be
getting
better
from
from
a
supply
standpoint.
Q
Secondly,
with
respect
to
the
declaration
of
a
state
of
emergency,
so
just
today,
the
county
board
of
supervisors
approved
the
strengthening
of
the
county
civil
protection
and
emergency
management
ordinance
to
enable
pursuit
and
punishment
of
predatory
price
gouging
of
infant
formula
during
this
supply
chain
shortage.
This
really
mirrors
the
new
york
model
as
well,
so
they
just
took
that
action
today.
Q
It
was
approved.
The
board
of
supervisors
also
directed
administration,
to
continue
coordination
with
our
city,
especially
as
it
relates
to
getting
the
word
out
to
families
in
need.
They
also
in
that
same
motion
also
approved
a
grant
to
mother's
milk
bank
to
facilitate
provision
of
donor
milk
to
infants
without
a
prescription,
and
they
also
gave
direction
to
their
staff
to
partner,
with
first
five,
to
support
their
current
efforts
to
collect
and
distribute
donated
formula,
and
so
they
did
adopt
that
emergency
ordinance.
Q
Today,
they
amended
their
current
urgency
ordinance
in
that
clause
and
that's
effective
as
of
today,
and
that
will
last
up
until
the
crisis
ends
and
then.
Thirdly,
the
issue
around
preventing
price
gouging,
the
ordinance
that
they
adopted
specifically
calls
out
price
gouging
and
really
stiffens
the
county's
ability
or
not
stiffens
it.
It
helps
facilitate
the
county's
ability
to
to
levy
stiff
penalties
on
those
that
that
price
gouge
and
that
direction.
Q
There
then
kind
of
leads
to
kind
of
the
third
point
in
in
our
direction
around
a
family-friendly
pledge
that
ordinance.
According
to
the
county,
will
enable
their
county
protection
agency
to
basically
monitor
for
price
gouging
and
do
what
they
need
to
do
to
to
prevent
that
they're
also
going
to
be
exploring
a
pledge,
although
the
direction
stopped
short
of
specifically
directing
them
to
do
that,
but
they
are
considering
that
based
on
my
conversations
with
the
county.
So
those
are
the
three
steps
that
have
been
taken.
Q
A
L
A
C
Good
afternoon,
everyone
thank
you
for
providing
this
platform.
My
name
is
marisol
barajona.
I
am
the
program
supervisor,
with
catholic
charities
in
the
seventh
trees
community
we've
been
providing
families
with
essential
resources
throughout
the
entire
pandemic,
and
one
of
those
important
resources
has
been
baby
formula.
We've
served
1700
families
last
year,
just
with
formula
and
the
need
continues.
C
Or
infamil,
and
with
the
several
recalls
across
these
brands,
the
shortage
and
the
demand
continues.
So
also
it's
challenging
for
caregivers
to
try
unfamiliar
brands,
and
we
also
need
to
spread
awareness
of
the
different
brands
available
within
the
markets.
Families
have
expressed
their
struggle
with
trying
to
find
the
formula.
P
C
Hello,
my
name
is
egyptian
elendi
and
I
represent
the
african-american
community
service
agency
and
I
am
a
policy
and
advocacy
intern.
I
wanted
to
completely
voice
my
opinion
on
these
efforts
and
regards
to
the
state
of
emergency
to
address
the
for
the
formula
shortage,
since
our
organization
provides
resources
as
formula
to
our
community.
C
We
as
an
organization
are
committed
to
the
child
well-being,
and
we
have
witnessed
firsthand
how
this
issue
affects
low-income
communities
and
parents
who
rely
on
women,
infant
and
children,
nutrition
assistance
programs
and
how
these
types
of
formulas
are
not
being
able
to
be
accessed.
I
ask
you
to
remind
yourself
to
take
care
of
our
infants
and
make
sure
that
we
lead
with
care
when
it
comes
to
this
issue.
Thank
you
very
much
have
a
great
one.
B
Good
afternoon
my
name
is
bridget
balahatja,
I'm
the
program
director
for
parish
engagement
at
catholic
charities
in
santa
clara
county.
I
really
appreciate
the
update
on
this.
I
think
it's
super
important
as
part
of
our
work.
We,
as
the
name
would
suggest
work
out
of
catholic
parishes,
namely
our
lady
of
refuge,
which
is
in
eastside
san
jose
and
we've
been
seeing
an
average
of
about
15
to
28
mothers
coming
in.
B
Undocumented
most
of
these
mothers
don't
speak
english
and
need
a
lot
of
support
in
accessing
resources.
They're,
not
necessarily
aware
of
the
help.
That's
around
parishes
are
trusted
spaces
where
people
do
not
feel
targeted
and
feel
like
they
can
access
the
resources
that
they
need
to
support
their
children.
I
can't
think
of
anything
more
important,
especially
as
a
mother
of
two
young
children,
myself.
A
C
P
And
accessible
infant
formula
is
to
the
health
and
well-being
of
not
only
the
patients
that
we
see
in
our
health
centers,
but
any
and
all
the
families
within
our
community
and,
as
many
of
us
know,
the
cost
of
living
has
already
become
unbearable
for
so
many
families.
Here
and
now
they
are
being
priced
out
just
to
feed
their
babies,
and
we
we
just
really
can't
let
parents
and
caregivers
and
children
suffer
like
this
and
that's.
C
P
P
A
I
Hi,
where
beekman
here.
Thank
you
interesting
that
a
report
from
anger
rios,
thank
you
interesting
that
he
reported
that
civil
protections
are
a
part
of
these
issues
of
the
county
to
you
know
ensure
that
there
won't
be
price
gouging
going
on
for
this
issue
and
an
interesting
use
of
civil
protection
ideas.
Thank
you
for
that
understanding
and
good
luck
on
these
food
security
issues
that
I
wish
we
weren't
at
war
with
russia
about,
and
I
wish
russia
didn't
go
to
war
I
wish
they
could
have.
I
I
think
we
could
have
been
at
the
same
negotiation
table
with
ideas
of
peace
and
and
how
to
negotiate.
You
know
all
sides
of
the
ukraine
issue
without
having
to
go
to
war.
I
think
we
could
have
done
that.
I
think
it
could
have
worked
and
I'm
sorry
that
we're
in
this
space
in
this
in
this
state-
and
it's
from
that
you
know-
I
mean
russia-
has
created
kind
of
a
food
security
problem.
At
this
time
we
really
got
to
watch
the
us
and
how
they
act
and
work
with
food
security
measures
themselves.
I
They
can
be
a
little
persnickety
and
a
bit,
they
can
make
things
uncomfortable
themselves,
and
I
it's
sad
that
that
happens
and
that
we're
in
the
space
that
we're
in
good
luck
and
how
we
can
work
on
this
and
really
really
just
be
considering
our
better
peaceful,
good
reasoning
to
resolve
these
sort
of
issues.
And
there
is
a
good
reasoning
there
we
can
address
it.
We
just
have
to
be
open
to
want
to
address
it
and
good
luck.

We
appreciate
the
ability
to
comment
on
the
infant
formula
situation.
The
reduced
availability
understandably
raises
concern
and
compassion
for
parents
and
families.
We
both
serve
those
families
in
different
capacities
and
both
take
our
responsibilities
very
seriously,
and
we
provided
some
specific
information
regarding
the
situation.
Writing,
but
there's
some
additional
key
points.
I
want
to
review.
C
C
C
We
asked
the
city
to
actively
engage
the
grocery
industry
to
fully
understand
and
respond
to
the
supply
chain
issues
before
recommending
or
implementing
other
mechanisms.
We
welcome
genuine
collaboration
from
the
city
and
look
forward
to
mutually
identifying
supply
chain
solutions.
I
will
remain
on
the
call
in
case
anyone
has
questions
for
the
industry.
Thank
you
for
your
consideration.
P
P
This
pandemic
and
all
the
struggles
that
fall
in
line
with
the
pandemic
and
loss
of
job
and
housing
and
just
basic
needs.
So
thank
you
so
much
for
all
the
work
that
you
do
and
for
the
advocacy
that
you
do.
I
I
did
connect
with
our
county
counterparts
and
learned
that
there
was
also
the
ordinance
code.
I
think,
as
angel
reported
earlier,
they
made
sure
to
amend
the
ordinance
code
that
prohibited
price
gouging
for
the
duration
of
the
state
of
emergency.
G
J
P
Then
we're
going
to
be
able
to
have
that
available
to
us,
and
so
one
of
the
things
that
the
county
is
looking
for
from
us
is
to
collaborate
on
how
to
get
this
information
out,
and
so
my
question
is:
could
we
send
out
an
email
or
through
a
newsletter
to
all
of
our
businesses
that
are
either
grocers
or
liquor
stores
or
anybody
who
any
of
the
licensed
businesses
that
deal
with
food?
Could
we
send
them
a
notice
about
this
protection?
This
reinstatement
of
this
price
gouging
ordinance.
Q
Q
P
Q
Yes,
we
can
also
explore
that
we
haven't
worked
out
those
details
yet,
but
I'm
sure
we
can
also
do
that.
You
know
you
know.
Our
our
preliminary
thinking
is
is
really
reaching
out
on
on
with
that
message
to
san
jose
businesses
and
doing
that,
ideally
in
coordination
with
the
county,
since
they
they
have
access
to.
Q
Given
that
you
know
it's,
you
know,
the
the
increase
in
supply
is
starting
to
trickle
up,
but
we
still
know
that
there's
still
I'm
sure
many
in
our
community
that
still
don't
have
access
to
that
information,
and
so
we
really
want
to
kind
of
hit
that
part
very
strong
with
with
some
of
our
our
partners
on
the
ground.
So.
O
P
I
think
that
we
should
have
something
set
up
so
that
we
can
continue
to
provide
information
a
very
orderly
way,
and
that
is
not.
You
know
really
inconvenient
that
it's
I'm
sure
it's
not
a
push
of
a
button.
No,
I'm
not
going
to
pretend
it's
that
easy,
but
that
we
have
the
system
already
set,
and
so
from
here
on,
we
can
always
provide
information
out
to
our
businesses
in
in
an
efficient
way.
P
Right
and-
and
we
might
need
to
include
some
health
messaging-
that
we're
not
used
to
you
know,
for
example,
some
families
might
use
milk
sooner
than
than
an
infant,
is
ready
to
use
and
and
create
more
issues
than
solve
the
problem,
and
so
I
think
that
the
county's
already
thinking
about
this-
and
this
is
slightly
different
than
what
we're
used
to
providing
in
terms
of
information.
But
I
think
it's
just
as
important
in
terms
of
feeding
we
distribute
food.
P
This
is
another
food
source
and
we
need
to
make
sure
that
we
collaborate.
We
provide
the
correct
information,
so
I'm
glad
to
hear
I
already
knew
that
you
were
collaborating
angel.
I
I
expected
that,
because
you
are
just
that
person
to
do
that
kind
of
work,
so
I
I'm
glad
that
we're
on
the
same
page
in
terms
of
collaboration
or
sending
notices
or
the
messaging.
P
I
would
love
to
see
maybe
some
radio
ads
or
the
the
things
that
really
worked,
and
even
though
we
might
have
an
increase
in
or
have
a
better
inventory
than
other
states,
the
those
folks
who
are
going
to
our
first
five
resource
centers
and
who
are
relying
from
our
our
contribution.
The
city's
contribution
and
my
colleagues
all
approve
this,
the
the
district,
the
distribution
of
formula
from
their
resource
centers.
P
They
are
going
to
exhaust
that
inventory
at
the
end
of
june
and
so
we'll
find
more
families
that
are
relying
on
this
network
and
that
and
that
network
will
be
exhausted
in
june.
So
I
think
that
we
need
to
take
an
extra
step
and
get
ahead
of
this
instead
of
after
the
fact,
not
knowing
that
this,
this
funding
will
end.
Q
Yeah
and
along
those
lines,
council
remember,
you
know,
you
know
the
city
does
we
do
have
an
rfp
out
on
the
streets
right
now.
It
actually
closes
this
friday
and
we're
also
encouraging
organizations
to
apply
for
those
who,
because
infant
formula
of
course
falls
into
that
food
category
and-
and
this
is
part
of
I
just
kind
of
want
to.
You-
know-
remind
the
council
that
this
is
part
of
the
kind
of
the
transition
plan
to
the
county.
Q
Q
Seeing
today,
I
think
our
our
desire
to
collaborate
and
coordinate
with
the
county
to
address
this
very
important
issue
will
remain
the
same
and
it
will
continue,
but
that
rfp
we
are
encouraging
non-profit
providers
and
any
any
anybody
who
is
interested
in
applying
for
those
funds
and
who
has
access
to
serving
kids
or
children.
Infants
in
this
case
to
apply,
and
so
we
we
are
putting
that
word
out.
As
well,.
Q
Yeah
well
right
now
we're
including
it
as
as
as
one
of
the
eligible
categories.
So
we
we
left
the
the
criteria
pretty
broad,
but,
as
you
know,
during
the
pandemic,
the
city
we
we
funded
to
the
tune
of
2.5
million
dollars,
specifically
in
the
area
of
infant
care
of
formula
and
diapers,
and
I
think
I
don't
think
any
other
jurisdiction
has
has-
has
invested
that
level.
And
we
saw
that
early
on
because
you
know
when
the
pandemic
hit.
Q
You
know,
of
course,
supply
chain
hit
infant
formula,
and
so
we
jumped
on
that
right
away,
not
to
the
extent
that
it
did
this
last
time
or
this
more
recent
time.
But
then
the
second
piece
was
access
to
diapers
and
wipes
and
and
other
essentials
right,
and
we
were
one
of
the
first
cities
actually
the
first
city
to
really
work
with
fema
and
the
government
to
actually
have
them
recognize
infant
care
support
during
a
pandemic
because
it
actually
wasn't
in
the
books
just
as
a
little
trivia
piece.
Little
pandemic,
trivia
piece.
Q
Close
yeah
that
closes
this
friday
is
is
when
it
closes
and-
and
you
know,
we're
leaving
some
flexibility
in
terms
of
you
know
how
we
end
date,
the
term
of
that
agreement.
You
know,
there's
some
food
providers
that
may
need
you
know
more
money
up
front
for
a
shorter
amount
of
time.
There's
others
that
may
want
to
take
that
money
and
spread
it
out
over
the
course
of
the
year.
P
Q
You
know
councilmember,
if
you
know,
perhaps
you
could
give
us
that
flexibility
to
either
come
back
and
provide
another
update
like
this
or
perhaps
do
that
via
info
memo.
If,
if
that's
more
streamlined,
you
know
based
on
the
actions
that
we're
taking,
but
I
think
either
one
of
those
two
would
definitely
be
you're
worth
doing.
P
B
I
have
my
hand
please
thank
you
mayor,
so
I
wanted
to
follow
up.
Obviously,
I
agree.
This
is
something
we
started
earlier
during
the
pandemic
of
getting
formula
out
and
then
you
add
this
shortage
along
with
what
everybody's
going
through
and
inflation.
I
think
it's
huge.
I
had
a
question
going
back
to
operation
fly
formula
angel.
Q
So
so
we
so
we
are,
we
are
we
we
are
reaching
out
to
kel
oes.
We
predominantly
are
getting
referred
back
to
local
hospitals,
because
they're
each
of
the
the
local
hospitals
are
actually
coordinating
directly
with
that
operation
and
especially
since
they're
the
recipient
of
that
they're
they're,
the
primary
recipient
of
that
supply,
and
then
hospitals
have
informed
us
that
they're
focusing
on
you
know
premature
babies,
kids
that
have
some
type
of
in
allergy
or
some
need.
Q
Q
You
know
and
that's
exactly
what
a
lot
of
people
are
are
doing
during
this
crisis,
and
so
we're
hoping
that
right
around
june
20th,
based
on
the
based
on
the
projections
that
that
abbott
is
making
and
and
based
on
what
retailers
are
telling
us
that
we'll
see
a
a
more
significant
increase
or
availability
of
formula
of
all
types.
The
other
thing
I
I
failed
to
mention
earlier
is
that
when
we
reached
out
to
wic,
they
also
relax
some
of
their
criteria
and
that
they're
also
providing
vouchers
to
purchase
with
wic
subsidies.
B
Yeah,
thank
you
really
helpful.
I
I
I
will
say
that
in
my
district
I
have
seen
that
that
mary
kay
I'm
going
to
steal
your
term
now.
I
have
seen
it
where
you
know
people
call
different
people
or
get
in
a
chat
group
and
ask
but
again
the
folks
who
are
the
most
vulnerable.
The
people
that
have
to
take
three
buses
to
you
know
go
to
a
store
with
the
baby,
and
you
know
they're
they're.
B
In
the
toughest
spot
right,
they
can't
hop
in
a
car
and
drive
out
to
multiple
locations
or
pay
a
little
bit
more
a
lot
more
for
formula,
and
so
so
I
know
that
there's
a
lot
to
balance
here,
and
I
also
wanted
to
amplify
some
of
the
comments
around
consistency
and
formula
that
it
really
is
important
to
not
bounce
around
from
one
type
to
another,
so
that
if
we
can
offer
that
consistency
locally,
I
think
that's
important
all
right
I'll
stop
there.
Thank
you.
D
A
A
C
A
C
J
J
J
If
you
drive
any
any
neighborhood,
you're
gonna
see
a
lot
of
empty,
empty
roofs,
residential
and
commercial,
and
that
that
can
be
one
part
of
the
solution
of
the
problem.
That
way
that
that
we
can
encounter.
You
know
with
an
attack
who,
in
a
in
a
solid
form,
to
start
solving
the
I
mean
try
to
solve
the
the
problem
of
the
of
the
global
warming.
K
I
Hi
blair
beekman
here
thanks
for
the
meeting
today,
I
think
I
wanted
to
offer
you
know
it
was.
It
was
nice
to
hear
the
words
of
the
previous
speaker,
I'm
considering
you
know.
We
have
an
important
commitment
in
the
state
of
california.
On
this
election
day,
the
state
of
california
has
made
some
really
interesting
decisions
about
how
to
proceed
with
the
future
of
the
balance
between
renewables
and
frac
fossil
fuel
use
in
our
future.
I
Yet
california
has
developed
a
way
to
not
like
celebrate
the
that
that
relationship
but
really
modify
the
use
of
what
will
be
the
future
of
fossil
fuels
in
this
country
and
they're,
creating
a
very
interesting
plan
to
do
that.
So
it
isn't
a
case
of
another
generation
of
fracked
fuels,
running
higgly
piggly
around
the
whole
system.
I
And
we
need
to
have
that
open
discussion
more
often
here
now,
and
the
people
who
work
really
well
with
renewable
ideas
really
need
to
make
clear
what
we
how
we
can
be
working
towards
a
renewable
future
and
to
question
the
future
of
nuclear
as
much
as
carbon
neutral
is
important.
We
have
to
question
nuclear,
that's
my
feeling.
Thank
you.
T
T
We
heard
some
comments
about
how
there
were
fixed
costs
for
garbage
pickup
and
how
there's
contamination
there
are
residents
that
are
willing
to
work
with
other
residents
to
fix
these
issues,
and
there
is
always
the
option
of
saying
I
only
want
my
garbage
picked
up
once
a
month
or
even
less
or
just
have
organic
waste
picked
up
every
week
and
nothing
else.
So
there
are
ways
around
this.
This
program
must
be
redesigned.
I
urge
council
to
consider
it
very
seriously
so
that
raising
rates
on
everything
is
not
the
only
option
we
always
consider.
C
I
think
that
when
they
said
they
wanted
to
lead
the
way
in
being
purely
electric,
that
it
doesn't
really
sound
like
a
good
idea
on
the
environment
sounds
like
a
burden
to
the
environment
and
on
on
like
middle
class
people
like
myself,
so
I
think
we
need
to
figure
out
a
way
to
lead
the
way
and
actually
like
learning
how
to
have
a
good
balance
of
it
and
being
fair
instead
of
eliminating
it
as
we're
adding
to
the
good
plans.
Also,
I
was
on
another
note.
C
I
was
wanted
to
recommend
maybe
some
type
of
a
plan
for
water,
because
we
always
have
droughts
and
we
live
by
the
bay
and
the
ocean.
I
mean
I
don't
I
don't
know
if
there's
any
ways
to
like
come
up
with
an
idea
of
some
sort
of
a
pipe
to
bring
water
to
us
whenever
we
need
it,
the
most
other
than
that,
that's
all
I
have
for
now.
Thank
you
for
your
time.
O
Hi,
thank
you.
I
just
wanted
to
quickly
throw
something
out
there.
I
don't
know
where
to
find
the
information,
I
guess
I'll
try
to
maybe
type
out
to
the
city
clerk,
but
the
question
is:
it
was
mentioned
earlier
with
all
of
these
things.
When
the
city
clerk
was
reading
off
this
is
you
know,
one
percent
of
the
people
of
the
protests
does
not.
O
You
know
then
make
it
so
that
we
could
I'm
sorry
so
that
we
could,
you
know,
address
it
or
whatever,
so
you
can
vote
on
it,
and
so
I've
never
heard
that
what
is
the
threshold
and
and
where
would
we
find
something
like
that
out?
Is
it
okay,
there's
five
percent
of
you
know
protests
there.
You
know
what
what
would
then
warrant
you
guys
not
being
able
to
approve
it.
O
I
I
didn't
hear
that
that
raised,
and
I
don't
know
whether
that's
something
that
comes
in
a
letter
in
the
mail
and
because
I
live
in
a
mobile
home
park.
We
don't
receive
that
information,
but
I
wouldn't
have
even
known
that
my
protest
would
actually
then
trigger
something
where
then
you
would
not
be
able
to
approve
it.
So
anyway,
those
are
the
little
kind
of
things
that
come
up
that
I
I
say,
oh
well.
O
If
people
knew
that,
maybe
there
would
have
been
more
outreach
for
people
to
show
up
in
a
higher
percentage
and
then
hitting
that
trigger.
So
those
are
the
little
kind
of
things.
I'd
love
to
be
able
to
figure
out
about.
You
know,
city
government,
that
I
have
trouble
understanding
and
just
thought
I'd,
throw
it
out
there
thanks.
