Thank
you.
I'm
happy
to
be
joined
today
by
emilyn
montoya,
who
is
the
choir
teacher
at
sarahmont
middle
school.
Various
school
districts
really
puts
a
lot
of
effort
into
making
sure
we
maintain
a
strong
music
program
and
all
three
of
our
middle
schools
have
two
great
music
teachers.
So
this
month,
I'm
excited
to
introduce
the
choir
teacher
from
sierra
mod
and
she'll
speak
for
a
moment
about
a
program
and
then
we'll
hear
a
selection
from
them.

A
A
A
A
A

A

A

A

Well
done
that
was
beautiful.
Thank
you
to
all
the
students.
It
was
tremendous
all
right,
we'll
move
on
to
orders
of
the
day
now.
Does
anyone
on
the
council
have
any
changes
of
the
printed
agenda?
I
know
that
councilmember
cohen
like
to
join
the
meeting
and
we'll
ask
him
to
speak
in
just
a
moment.
Are
there
any
other
changes
all
right,
councilmember
calling.
H
H
He
was
a
san
jose
native
long-time
library,
employee,
devoted
public
servant
for
the
city
of
san
jose.
He
started
his
career
at
san
jose
public
library
in
1981,
when
he
was
16
years
old.
As
a
library
page,
he
was
promoted
to
library,
clerk
and
finally
to
library
assistant,
which
is
the
clerical
supervisor
over
a
branch
or
unit
throughout
his
years
of
service.
Scott
worked
all
over
the
library
system,
from
the
pearl
avenue
branch
to
the
cambrian
branch,
the
old
king
library,
the
hillview
branch,
the
evergreen
branch
and
finally,
at
the
berryessa
branch.
H
Scott
was
known
in
a
library
system
as
a
committed
leader
and
mentor
and
a
dedicated
community
servant.
He
worked
at
some
of
the
library's
busiest
locations
and
led
his
team
to
support
public
service
campaigns
and
programs,
including
a
focus
on
expanding
and
adapting
library.
Services
to
meet
community
needs
as
an
example
when
the
library
was
forced
to
temporarily
close
its
doors
last
year.
Due
to
the
pandemic,
scott
opened
the
very
essen
branch
community
room
to
provide
staff
a
space
to
safely
sew
and
package
clock
face
coverings
to
donate
to
community
members.
H
Staff
throughout
the
library
have
been
deeply
impacted
by
this
sudden
loss.
Despite
profound
sadness,
staff
have
shared
many
happy
memories
and
thoughts
about
scott,
his
colleagues
and
supervisor,
berryessa
branch
manager,
candace
tran
noted
that
scott
was
an
ordinary
man.
He
made
an
extraordinary
impact
on
the
people
he
left
behind.
He
was
survived
by
his
mother
sister
and
brother
and
will
be
missed
by
his
family
friends,
library,
colleagues,
volunteers,
partners
and
community
members.
B
J
Thank
you
mayor
this
morning
we
had
a
litigation
matter
on
the
closed
session
agenda
and
the
report
out
on
that
is
there
with
respect
to
the
challenge
to
the
charcot
extension
project.
Dot
staff
is
looking
at
some
options
for
the
project
that
they'll
be
prepared
to
discuss
at
a
settlement
meeting
later
this
week.
Thank
you.
B
Thank
you
right
onto
the
consent
calendar.
I
see
there
are
several
items
that
my
colleagues
have
already
informed
me
that
they
like
the
poll
councilman
raynes,
would
like
to
pull
item
2.7,
which
is
approval
sexual
assault
awareness
month,
2.8,
which
is
the
bill
of
rights
right
children
and
youth
council.
Member
karaska
would
like
to
pull
items
212
and
213,
that
is
dia
del
nino
and
the
national
donate
life
month.
B
B
K
K
When
we
were
asked
to
shelter
in
place
in
quarantine
at
home,
not
every
home
was
safe
for
everyone
and
in
our
latest
reports
of
sexual
assaults
in
san
jose.
We
recognize
that
the
number
one
location
that
sexual
assaults
crimes
took
place
were
within
the
home
and
the
residents,
and
so
as
we
reopen
and
continue
with
our
pandemic
recovery,
we
must
do
better
for
one
another
and
who
best
to
help
build
with
that
than
office
of
gender-based
violence.
K
Prevention
with
santa
clara
county
who
I'm
honored
to
recognize
and
partner
with
to
proclaim
april
as
sexual
assault
awareness
month,
the
office
was
just
established
six
months
before
the
pandemic
hit,
but
that
did
not
disrupt
them.
They
continued
with
their
services
to
support
survivors
and
to
heal
and
thrive,
and
I'm
absolutely
grateful
for
their
moving
forward.
K
I'd
also
like
to
remind
everyone
that
tomorrow,
4
28
is
wear
denim
day,
so
this
is
done
with
the
purpose
of
supporting
survivors
of
sexual
assault.
Please
don't
forget
to
post
on
your
social
media
and
honor
survivors
by
wearing
some
sort
of
jeans
and
lastly,
I'd
like
to
close
with
natalia
in
memory
of
natalia
smoot,
who
is
a
transgender
woman,
24
years
old
from
san
jose.
K
K
D
And
we
are
the
county's
office
of
gender-based
violence
prevention.
The
office
was
formed
in
2019
to
transform
the
way
our
county
responds
to
gender-based
violence.
This
includes
domestic
violence,
human
trafficking
and
sexual
assault,
and
we
know
we
can
only
do
this
work
with
partners
like
you
and
that's.
D
D
D
And
trauma-informed,
so
as
we
continue
to
work
on
systemic
change
on
an
individual
level,
we
all
have
a
role
to
play
too.
It
starts
with
believing
survivors-
and
this
is
true-
whether
we're
talking
about
sexual
assault,
human
trafficking
or
domestic
violence.
The
most
important
thing
we
can
do
is
to
believe
survivors
and
then
support
them.
K
D
D
K
B
M
Hi,
can
you
hear
me
okay?
Yes,
we
can
thank
you.
Where
are
we
coming
here?
Thank
you
for
this
item.
You
know
I
was
gonna
start
off
and
speak
of
something
a
bit
different
for
there's
a
series
of
items
so
youth
bill
of
bill
of
rights
and
this
issue.
You
know
I've
noticed
that
there's
a
certain
there
can
be
with
domestic
violence,
issues
and
stuff.
M
That's
what
I
was
thinking
about
before
the
meeting.
But
now
I'm
I'm
listening
to
this.
To
its
words
and
it's
affecting
me
and
it's
reminding
me,
I
have
my
own
harassment
issues
and
I'm
being
fairly
harassed
myself
a
lot
in
my
life
at
this
time,
and
so
thank
you
for
this
item
and
yeah
I'm
in
a
sad,
difficult
place,
and
I
can
hopefully
talk
more
about
it.
But
thank
you
for
your
time
and
efforts
and
thank
you
for
this
item.
N
N
There
was
a
proposal
to
bring
affordable
housing,
and
you
know,
I
think
the
connection
with
you
know.
Sexual
abuse
is
that
we
need
to
have
more
housing.
We
need
to
live
more
multi-generational,
so
we're
not
having
this
the
issue
of
just
the
sa.
The
nuclear
family
is
there's
a
problem
there
and
that
we
as
if
we
live
more
multi-generational,
then
you
have
more.
N
You
know
it
takes
a
village
and
we
have
more
eyes
on
the
on
the
on
the
whole
issue
of
living
together
more
harmoniously,
hopefully-
and
so
when
I
see
that
the
the
development
of
on
615
the
proposal
for
housing
was
denied
because
it
lived
too
close
to
commercial
and
we're
trying
to
protect
commercial
properties
that
we're
really
not
addressing
the
issues
of
our
community.
The
crisis
in
our
communities.
N
B
K
K
This
is
work
that
our
youth
commission
actually
started
in
2010,
which
is
when
this
bill
of
rights
was
last
authorized
and
because
there
needs
to
be
some
update
in
terms
of
language
we're
living
in
a
very,
very
digital
world.
In
this
very
moment,
and
we
wanted
to
make
sure
we
reflected
that
as
well
as
our
youth
commission
put
together
a
youth
symposium
as
well
as
some
days
together
to
review
these
bill
of
rights
and
updated
them.
And
so
that's
what
you
see
in
front
of
you
is
this
update.
K
D
N
Okay,
good,
yes!
Well,
I'm
saying
in
regards
to
that
that
we
really
need
to
have
a
program
that
supports
women
staying
home
to
so
to
take
care
of
their
children
for
the
first
at
least
the
first
five
years
that,
like
they
have
in
other
european
countries,
they
do
that
in
other
european
countries
that
they
give
money.
They
support
the
women
to
stay
home
for
first
five
years,
when
we
talk
about
the
first
five
years
as
being
so
critical.
N
Because
that's
another
thing
we
need
to
be
doing
and
also
the
curriculum
would
be
involved
with
learning
to
live
without
fossil
fuels
that
we
need
to
start
our
educational
program
to
use
our
fourth
thought
about
where,
where
our
future
is
going
and
when
even
you
know
right
now,
you
know
our
president
is
saying
we
need.
We,
as
the
scientist
is
saying
that
we
need
to
reduce
50
52.
N
Okay,
so
we
have
to
prepare
for
that
and
we're
not.
Our
educational
system
is
not
leading
us
in
that
direction
of
how
to
live
without
fossil
fuels,
and
that
does
take
a
lot
of
growing
your
own
food.
It
starts
with
growing
your
own
food
and
staying
home,
and-
and
that's
where
I
say,
kovit
has
really
helped
us
understand
the
problems
of
the
solutions
that
you
know.
N
The
same
solutions
that
were
there
with
covid
are
the
same
with
climate
is
that
we
need
to
stay
home
and
the
food
insecurity
that
we're
experiencing
needs
to
be
addressed
by
growing
food
locally.
That
is
resiliency
and
we
need
to
be
building
a
curriculum.
A
4-h
curriculum,
a
grange
movement.
To
that
also
supports
us
growing
food
and
having
becoming
more
agrarian
that
going
back
to
our
roots
and
that
could
be
led
through.
M
Hi,
thank
you.
Thank
you
for
the
words
of
tessa
it's
nice
to
hear.
I
was
going
to
add
that
with
this
item
it
was
very
nicely
offered
by
council
person
uranus.
This
has
been
work,
that's
been
going
on
since
2010,
and
you
know
it's
just
you
come
to
a
meeting
with
preconceived
ideas
and
then
you
know
voila.
You
know
you
start
learning
new
things
and
interesting
things
when
we
gather
all
together
and
yeah.
M
So
the
youth
commission
they've
been
working
a
lot
on
these
things
I
mean
and
since
2010
that's
a
lot
to
comment
on
tessa's
words.
It
was
reminding
me
this
item
of
women's
bill
of
rights
issues.
I
think
it's
called,
and
I
know
the
human
services
commission
was
working
a
lot
on
and
I'm
just
amazed
by
their
work
on
that
subject.
Tesla
should
be
interested
in
that
kind
of
work
that
you
know
speaks
to
what
she's
talking
about
and
how
that
can
relate
to
this
measure.
M
M
I
guess
that
that's
a
game
plan,
that's
an
idea,
and
I
I
hope
I'm
just
mentioning
it
here
as
a
way
to
be
thinking
how
we
can
work
in
the
next
few
years,
and
I
hope
like
what
I
said,
I
I
hope
the
peer
review
program
within
the
domestic
violence
issues
can
branch
out
and
grow
among
the
entire
police
department
and
community
and
good
luck
in
all
of
our
efforts.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
B
L
L
L
We
know
that
they
bring
so
much
light
in
life,
and
I
know
that
during
the
pandemic,
it
is
probably
been
what
has
kept
me
as
seen
as
a
sin
can
be
during
these
times.
So
we
owe
it
to
them.
We
owe
to
ourselves
to
make
sure
to
invest
in
them,
and
what
does
that
mean?
It
means
making
a
commitment
to
battling
climate
change,
promoting
health
and
racial
equity.
It
means
securing
reliable
and
affordable
child
care.
L
N
Okay,
the
day
of
the
child,
okay,
good!
So
that's
you
know
an
important
thing
is
that
what
we're
doing
with
our
children-
and
I
think-
and
I
really
appreciate
what
council
member
roscoe
said,
magdalena
said-
is
that
you
know
climate
change
and
how
that
is
how
we
can
show
that
we
care
about
our
children
and
we
really
need
to
make
radical
changes.
N
And
what
that
you
know.
Ironically,
the
radical
change
that
we
need
is
to
go
back
to
way
that
our
ancestors
have
lived,
which
is
connected
to
small
communities
connected
to
our
landscape
and,
as
we
are
dealing
with
the
drought
that
is
coming,
you
know
that
we're
experiencing
right
now,
as
well
as
what
our
governor
you
know,
they're
they're,
putting
you
know
water
restrictions.
N
You
know,
grow
food
locally
and
that's
the
way
we
show
them
how
you
know.
We
lead
by
example
by
doing
that
with
them,
and
that's
what
that
needs
to
be
the
unifying
change
as
we
go
forward.
You
know
when
we
talk
about
racial
equity
and
in
our
historic
neighborhoods
is
what
we
really
have
to
bring
into
that.
The
real
history
is
how
we
lived,
as
you
know,
in
our
ancestor,
connected
to
our
landscape,
growing
food
locally.
L
Thank
you
mayor.
Well,
the
city
of
san
jose
lit
up
the
city
hall
rotunda
to
the
beautiful
life-affirming
colors
of
blue
and
green
in
recognition
of
national
donate
life
month
just
last
week.
This
was
to
encourage
all
san
jose
residents
to
register
as
organ
eye
and
tissue
donors
and
to
honor
those
that
have
saved
lives
through
the
gift
of
life.
L
Pope
francis
described
organ
donation.
As
a
testimony
of
love
for
your
neighbor,
I
would
like
to
thank
donor
network
west
as
it
serves
as
the
federally
designated
organ
procurement
organization
in
northern
and
central
california
and
northern
nevada,
and
works
in
close
partnership
with
families,
doctors,
nurses
and
hospitals
to
connect
donors
to
recipients.
L
The
donor,
the
need
for
donation
and
transplant
is
more
pronounced
in
communities
of
color
and
if
we're,
if
we're
going
to
truly
see
successful
donations
of
of
organs,
we
see
that
the
match
within
ethnic
communities
makes
all
of
the
difference
in
the
world,
and
I
have
to
tell
you
just
a
very
personal
little
story.
There's
a
beautiful
woman
that
that
I've
known
for
many
years
and-
and
I
see
her
at
work
every
time
that
I
go
shopping
for
groceries.
L
I've
also
connected
with
her
through
through
different
school
programming,
and
she
has
this
amazing
spirit
about
her
during
the
pandemic.
I
had
no
idea
truly
and-
and
I
only
knew
because
she
kind
of
came
across
my
facebook
posting-
that
her
her
incredibly
beautiful
and
vibrant
young
daughter
became
ill
and
I
don't
know
the
circumstances
of
her
daughter's
illness
and
I
haven't
asked,
but
but
she
she
perished
and
she
was
only
15
years
old
and
and
I
knew
that
she
was,
she
wasn't
gonna
make
it.
L
L
The
rest
of
us
is
a
courage,
unlike
anything,
I
hope,
never
to
to
know
by
the
way,
but
I
I
hope
to
one
day
be
able
to
just
embrace
her.
I
I
have
that
need
to
do
so,
and
I
thank
her
for
her
generosity
for
her
life
affirmation
and
for
her
in
spanish.
We
say
subon
that
truly
subondab,
and
so
again
I
want
to
thank
irma.
L
I
want
to
thank
her
daughter,
nancy
and
those
who
loved
her,
and
I
want
to
thank
donor
network
west
for
being
able
to
reach
out
to
her
and
allowing
her
to
make
this
transition
in
such
a
gentle
and
loving
way,
and
so
for
all
of
those
who
are
thinking
about
making
other
kinds
of
decisions.
Of
course,
you
know
how
to
do
this.
It's
that
little
pink
dot
that
you
put
in
the
back
of
your
driver's
license.
I've
been
you
know.
I
I've
had
that
little
dot
on
my
driver's
license.
L
B
K
Proclamation
for
national
donate
life
month,
and
I
also
wanted
to
share
just
really
quickly
a
wonderful
donation
story
that
happened
in
my
own
district,
but
I
think
many
of
you
know
eddie
garcia,
who
just
celebrated
his
first
heart
adversary
is
what
he
calls
it
and
that
he
didn't
know.
You
know
he's
very
vivacious,
always
involved
in
our
community,
served
in
different
in
different
offices,
and
he
was
unsure
of
where
you
know.
K
If
there
was
going
to
be
a
heart
that
was
going
to
come
his
way
and
it
finally
did
from
idaho
and
so
he's
named
his
heart
idaho.
He
refers
to
it
as
idaho
and
he's
had
some.
You
know
some
challenges
with
it,
but
in
the
end
they've
learned
to
live
with
one
another
and
and
it's
accepted
his
body,
and
I
just
want
to
say
that
you
know
it
makes
a
huge
difference
for
all
of
us.
K
We
might
just
think
of
it
as
a
pink
sticker,
but
for
some
people
we
they
are
just
living.
The
generosity,
like
you,
said,
councilmember
carrasco
of
others
to
to
make
that
decision
way
ahead
of
time,
instead
of
when
you
know
it's
too
late.
So
so,
thank
you
so
much
for
bringing
that
up
and
I've
also
have
had
my
sticker
for
a
really
long
time.
Who
knows
if
they'll
take
my
organs,
they
may
not
be
good
by
the
time
they
come
to
anybody's,
but
you
know
it
it's
there
for
for
the
taking.
K
N
Okay,
well,
I'm
saying
is
that
okay,
so
basically
what
she's
saying
is
about
donating
and
donating
our
organs-
and
you
know
one
other
thing
was-
is
that
in
regards
to
that,
it's
interesting
that
the
car
is
the
way
you
know
in
our
driver's
license.
The
irony,
of
course,
is
that
is
where
40
000
americans
die
every
year
from
cars
as
well
as
our
disabled.
Three
million
of
us
are
disabled
every
year
from
car
accidents.
So
I
was
wondering
how
you
put
your
organs
in
when
you're
not
driving
a
car.
B
G
I'll
I'll
jump
in
first
boy,
this
is
the
the
day
of
the
child.
I
must
say
it's
really
a
great
day,
starting
off
with
those
beautiful
voices
from
ceremony
middle
school
council
member
cohen.
Thank
you
for
sharing
them
with
me.
I
always
try
cry
when
I
hear
such
beautiful
voices
and
and
see
the
joy
in
the
faces
of
the
children
it
just
it
moves
my
day
and
then
celebrating
children's
day.
It's
just
it's
just
awesome.
G
Now
I
get
to
celebrate
some
high
school
kids
on
behalf
of
council
member
dev
davis
and
myself,
I'd
like
to
take
this
opportunity
to
recognize
willow,
glenn
high
school
as
the
champions
of
the
2021
santa
clara
county
high
school
mock
trial
tournament
and
for
advancing
to
the
state
tournament
where
the
team
excelled
and
placed
16th
out
of
34
total
teams.
That's
a
remarkable
effort
on
their
part.
G
Mock
trial
is
an
inter
interscholastic
competition
that
provides
our
high
school
students
the
unique
opportunity
to
acquire
a
working
knowledge
of
what
it's
like
to
prepare
for
and
present
a
legal
case
before
the
court.
It
requires
critical
thinking,
skills,
public
speaking
proficiency
and
at
the
core,
a
tremendous
confidence.
G
I'm
always
amazed
by
the
intellectual
ability
of
our
young
people
and
the
will
of
glenn
high
school
mock
trial
team
is
a
perfect
example
of
that.
I
actually
watched
them
compete
this
year
and
it
was
really
fabulous
to
be
able
to
zoom
in
and
watch
them
because
of
the
pandemic.
The
tournaments
took
a
different
format.
This
year,
the
county
tournament
consisted
of
seven
rounds
over
the
course
of
a
four
week
period
entirely
through
zoom.
The
tournament
was
presided
over
by
sitting
superior
court
judges
and
is
scored
by
hundreds
of
local
attorneys.
G
The
state
tournament
was
conducted
remotely
as
well.
The
willow
glen
high
school
team
found
strength
in
this
alternative
format
and
ended
up
being
ideally
suited
for
zoom
mock
trials,
which
reward
telegenic
performances
with
strong
content
and
creative
personal
touches.
I
actually
have
a
little
bit
of
a
personal
connection
with
the
willow
glenn
high
school
mock
trial
team.
My
daughter
caitlin
was
a
willow,
glenn
high
school
student
who
participated
in
this
when
she
was
in
high
school.
G
G
Additionally,
one
of
my
current
d9
staff
members
cameron,
hinkles
who's
works
for
me
part
time
and
goes
to
finishes
her
college
education
very
shortly.
She
was
an
attorney
for
willow,
glenn's
team
a
couple
of
years
ago,
so
I
have
mock
trial
in
my
blood,
even
though
I've
never
performed
it
and
they
have
braver
than
I
am
to
all
the
members
of
the
willow
glenn
high
school
mock
trial,
team
and
coaches,
jim
scharf
and
doug
johns.
Congratulations
on
your
well-deserved
achievements.
G
You
should
be
very
proud
of
all
of
the
hard
work
and
dedication
that
you
poured
into
this
experience.
You
are
all
unbelievably
bright
and
I
know
you
will
continue
to
do
great
things
and
when
you're
ready
come
and
talk
to
me
about
an
internship
and
with
that
I'd
like
to
turn
it
over
to
councilmember
davis.
I
Thank
you,
councilmember
foley.
I
just
want
to
add
my
congratulations
to
our
county
champions
and
as
well
on
their
state
performance
this
past
year.
This
team
has
proven
not
only
all
the
skills
that
council
member
fully
discussed,
but
also
their
resiliency
and
their
creativity,
and
I
just
want
to
thank
all
of
them
for
giving
us
a
bright
spot
to
celebrate
within
this
pandemic.
D
D
I
want
to
take
this
opportunity
to
thank
willow,
glenn
high
school's
administration
and
the
willow
glen
education
foundation
for
financially
supporting
our
our
program,
and
you
may
be
interested
to
learn
that
ma
that
our
mock
trial
team
and
I
have
several
ties
to
the
city
of
san
jose
and
city
council.
I
was
a
deputy
city
attorney
when
I
coached
my
very
first
high
school
mock
trial
team
back
in
1994
and
as
council
member
foley
just
mentioned.
D
I
coached
her
daughter
as
well
as
her
current
policy
aide
and
many
many
attorneys
from
the
city
attorney's
office
have
volunteered
their
time
to
score
at
the
county
mock
trial
tournament.
I
remember
city
attorney,
rick
doyle
scoring
the
final
round
when
our
team
won
back
in
2014,
when
my
children
were
on
the
team
again,
I
thank
you
so
much
for
this
recognition.
B
N
Okay,
good,
thank
you
so
much.
Yes,
it
was
very
exciting
about
the
mock
trial.
My
son
marshall,
woodman
c,
worked
on
youth
in
government
is
another
corollary
program
that
the
high
schools
through
the
white.
Well,
this
high
school
program
through
the
ymca
that
was
created
to
create
you
know
to
help
children.
You
know
that
we
have
to
each
every
generation
needs
to
be
taught
about
democracy
and
that's
the
youth
and
government
program.
N
So
just
to
add
the
corollary
of
this
mock
trial
program,
which
is
you
know,
creating
lawyers
as
we
go
forward
and
have
to
you
know,
defend
the
earth
against
capitalism
and
consumerism.
That
is
going
to
be
our
challenge
going
forward
and
we
need
good
lawyers
to
defend
the
earth
and
so,
but
I
wanted
to
bring
attention
to
the
community
of
the
wonderful
program
that
my
son
was
involved
in
called
youth
in
government
through
the
ymca,
which
also
has
a
trial
element
in
it.
N
So
and,
as
you
can
see,
my
son
ran
for
city
council,
so
you
know
it's
a
really
wonderful
program
that
really
gets
them
engaged
and
one
of
the
important
things
as
my
son
was
up.
There
was
dealing
with
governor
brown,
who
said
to
the
youth
when
he
was
addressing
the
youth
in
government
program
which
he
had
been
in
as
well.
N
E
J
E
D
L
M
B
D
N
N
You
know
only
if
you're
you
know
outside
with
not
a
lot
of
people
and
miss
that
and
the
other
and
it's
it's
the
confusion
that
creates
it
very
difficult
to
enforce,
and
the
thing
is
is
that
we
really
you
know
even
even
susan
ellenberg
when
she
got
her
her
her
shot
to
her
second
shot
and
wasn't
feeling
well.
She
feels
that
she's
immune
and
that's
a
myth.
N
You
know
keep
working
on
and
stopping
and
become
fiercely
independent
of
those
things
as
we
move
towards
our
ancestral
way
of
being,
which
is
in
small
communities
connected
to
our
landscape,
where
we're
growing
our
own
food
and
we
know
our
neighbors
and
we
help
each
other.
That
is
the
way
we
need
to
go
back
and
even
covid,
you
know
is
all
about
that.
You
know
neighbors
helping
neighbors
as
we
you
know,
and
we
need
to
take
those
messages
from
covid
and
keep
going
instead
of
thinking
that
it's
all.
D
E
F
D
E
F
F
B
M
M
You
know
we
got
to
work
towards
changes
and
how
we
talk
about
the
future
of
covid19,
and
we
got
to
really
learn
from
our
mistakes
from
this
pandemic
process
and
and
make
sure
these
kind
of
things
don't
happen
again
and
we
got
to
get
it
right.
I
think,
is
what
she
said,
and
that
means
a
lot
to
me.
I
mean
I
in
my
world
in
my
thinking
you
know
I
I
think
we
we're
trying
to
take
the
steps.
What
are
the
steps
of
positive
sustainability
out
of
this?
M
M
Thank
you
for
what
we're
doing
you
know,
I'm
trying
to
understand.
It
was
mentioned
at
santa
clara
county
board
of
supervisors.
Last
week
you
know
they're
they're,
setting
up
a
business
program,
so
they
can
invest
in
hvac
systems
themselves
and
invest
in
what's
called
the
air
quality
and
air
filtration
systems.
M
You
know
they're
trying
to
create
funding
for
that
at
the
county
level
for
small
businesses,
so
look
into
it.
Ask
about
it.
Ask
about
how
hvac
systems
can
be
a
part
of
the
solution.
Basically,
I
guess
I'm
thinking.
I
hope
that
can
just
be
open
conversation
and
and
it
could
be
safe
to
talk
about
what
else.
M
What
else
is
on
my
mind
about
covid
yeah,
just
that
we
you
know,
I
I
I
gave
a
real
long
list
yesterday,
how
we
really
you
know,
let's
spend
the
budget
time
and
and
how
we're
going
to
really
talk
about
our
future
of
funding
issues
and
building
our
sustainable
future.
I
hope
we
learn
to
have
that
open
dialogue
in
our
next
stages
of
covid.
Thank
you.
B
Thank
you
all
right.
If
anyone
would
like
to
change
the
vote
on
that
last
item
as
a
result
of
the
additional
testimony,
at
least,
let
me
know:
okay
hearing,
no
one
seeing
nobo
ray's,
nobody
raised
their
hand.
Let's
move
on
to
item
3.5,
which
is
a
report,
alternative
productivity
and
collaboration
tools
related
to
microsoft,
office
365..
B
O
Sorry
for
such
a
long
title
good
afternoon,
mayor
city,
council,
members
of
the
public
rob
lloyd
cio
for
the
city
of
san
jose
here,
together
with
jennifer
chang,
our
deputy
director
for
finance
for
the
purchasing
and
risk
management
division,
as
well
as
jerry
driessen.
Our
assistant
cio
for
the
city,
as
approved
by
city
council
in
2018
staff,
is
returning
on
this
contract
item
for
the
renewal
just
for
background.
This
contract
is
for
the
city's
productivity
and
collaboration
software.
What
that
means
to
to
us
on
a
normal
basis
is
that
this
is
outlook.
O
O
The
city
actually
has
a
contract
with
microsoft
that
was
approved
in
2018
by
city
council,
and
that
is
a
cooperative
contract
that
uses
the
riverside
county
agreement,
as
do
most
public
sector
local
government
entities,
and
that
is
for
obtaining
the
best
pricing
because
of
the
leverage
of
that
large
contract
purchase.
San
jose
has
extension
options,
though,
to
important
to
note:
the
pricing
did
increase
between
our
contract
and
the
renewal
of
the
cooperative
contract
with
riverside
and
microsoft,
and
so
that's
included,
and
a
very
large
price
increase.
To
start
with
that.
O
We
then
then
worked
with
microsoft
to
address
and
in
the
approval
of
the
contract
in
2018,
council
approved
it
with
direction
to
review
alternatives
before
the
execution
of
any
extensions,
and
that
is
why
we're
here
today.
So
in
our
assessment,
the
city
actually
looked
across
our
license
usage
and
the
functional
and
technical
elements
of
that.
We
issued
a
request
for
information
so
that
we
could
take
a
look
at
what
the
alternatives
out
there
were.
O
That
could
support
a
large
scale
organization
and
we
had
proposals
come
in
or
request
for
information
proposals
come
in
from
four
potential
vendors.
One
was
for
microsoft,
office,
365
and
three
were
for
google
z
suite,
and
it
did
a
feature
comparison
plus,
just
as
if
not
more
important
what
a
transition
would
look
like
and
what
a
lot
of
those
considerations
would
need
to
be,
and
that
transition
to
put
a
fine
point
on
it
would
be
a
very
large
one,
multi-year
somewhat
costly
and
have
a
large
product
to
the
impact.
O
Another
thing
that
we
saw
very
clearly
was
no
matter.
If
we
transitioned
there
would
be
a
at
least
a
10
to
15
retainage
of
microsoft,
because
they're
embedded
into
the
application
suites
that
we
use
for
erp
asset
management
and
other
items,
erp
enterprise,
resource
planning,
hr,
financials
and
those
types
of
things.
O
So
in
the
contract
that
we
negotiated,
it
did
come
down
a
total
of
1.9
million
dollars
over
a
period
of
time,
and
we
did
see,
though,
on
a
straight
line
basis.
There
is
a
about
2.4
million
potential
savings
that
was
counterbalanced
by
transition
costs,
as
well
as
that
retainers
of
microsoft,
products
that
we
would
need,
and
so
on
balance
it's
it's
roughly
roughly.
O
Even
so,
we
actually
turn
to
what
the
functional
uses
and
partnership
can
produce
in
terms
of
usability
and
functional
support
for
the
organization
to
make
us
more
productive
and
more
effective
and
microsoft
in
our
negotiations
was
open
to
us,
working
together
on
cost
usability
and
adoption
and
what
they
did
is
they
offered
us
a
five-year
deal
and,
on
that
basis,
a
they
sacrificed.
Some
of
the
pricing
increases
that
are
allowed
under
the
riverside
contract
to
allow
us
to
absorb
the
cost
impacts
and
to
have
budget
certainty
for
a
five-year
period.
O
O
So,
with
that,
a
very
short
presentation
to
you
staff
does
recommend
the
renewal
of
the
microsoft
agreement
for
the
five-year
period,
along
with
the
partnership
programs
that
we
have
set
up
with
microsoft
for
the
next
three
and
five
years
and
separately.
If
it
ever
becomes
a
critical
priority.
The
city
does
have
the
the
pilot
language
and
its
missile
code,
and
we
could
test
a
alternative
scenario
and
see
how
it
can
support
and
be
supported
in
operations
as
a
future
action.
And
with
that
we're
here
to
answer
any
questions
that
you
have.
N
N
We
never
hear
back
and
then,
on
top
of
it,
when
I
call
like
oakland,
because
oakland
passed
a
a
new
ordinance
unanimously
to
ban
gas
leaf
blowers,
they
answered
the
phone,
and
I
said:
oh
isn't
that
nice,
you
answer
the
phone.
I
guess
you
use
voice
over
ip
or
or
some
technology
to
transfer
the
phones
to
the
working
at
home
and
our
city
never
did
that,
and
you
know
it
really
shows
that
our
city
really
doesn't
want
to
hear
from
our
citizenry,
and
this
is
when
we're
talking
about
collaboration
and
productivity.
N
It's
very
important
for
us
to
you
know,
be
able
to
communicate
with
you,
and
yet
you
don't
value
that,
and
we
see
that
in
many
regards
you
know
even
the
fact
that
we
don't
have
public
comment
in
the
beginning
of
our
meetings.
You
know
we
are
there
to
inspire
you
to
to
the
you
know,
that's
the
role
of
the
citizen
and
you
know
you're
not
making
it
available
and
the
fact
that
our
phones
could
never
go
to
other
working
at
home,
and
now
we
have
to
bring
everybody
back
for
collaboration,
that's
bs!
N
M
M
I
hope
we're
we're
just
learning
really
important
lessons
that
I'll
reimagine
and
that
we're
entering
an
era
to
really
address
the
future
of
the
military
industrial
prison
complex
and
it's
a
really
exciting
concept
and
a
really
exciting
time.
Basically,
and
it
we're
entering
an
era.
You
know
where
it
is
the
individual
of
a
community
who
will
have
a
more
important
voice
in
the
democratic
process
of
his
community.
M
It
isn't
just
dictates
being
handed
down
by
government
anymore.
It
is
we'll
be
we're
trying
to
develop
what
can
be
a
different
way,
a
share,
a
more
shared
process
and
that's
an
interesting
concept
that
we
really
have
avoided,
especially
since
9
11,
as
9
11
brought
in
the
ideas
of
war
and
secrecy
and
closed
government
practices.
M
D
J
D
J
O
J
No,
that's
so
that's!
Okay!
I
wanted
to
just
advise
the
council
that,
because
this
procurement
is
in
the
amount
of
10
million
over
a
few
years,
but
it's
in
excess
of
a
threshold
of
1
million,
it's
important
that
council
members
who
own
two
thousand
dollars
or
more
of
stock
and
microsoft
recuse
themselves
on
this
matters
and
not
participate
in
the
discussion.
Thank
you.
B
I
Thank
you
well,
as
opposed
to
owning
microsoft
soccer.
I
know
rob
lloyd
already
knows
this,
I'm
not
a
big
fan
of
microsoft,
especially
of
outlook,
and
so
the
the
pilot
program
is
very
intriguing
to
me.
Rob
and
I'm
happy
to
talk
more
about
that
offline,
but
I
I
do
understand
that
that
integrating
right
now
and
another
system
would
be
difficult
and
and
probably
more
than
we
can
take
on
at
this
time.
I
I
do
hope
that
the
microsoft
support
team
does
continue
to
work
with
the
city
on
making
their
system
more
user-friendly,
so
that
my
chief
of
staff
actually
is
able
to
see
all
of
the
emails
that
come
in
that
are
addressed
to
her,
which
is
a
huge
problem
for
us
and
as
well.
We
are
able
to
search
our
history
in
a
way
that
is
complete
and
useful
to
us.
I
So
we
want
to
do
that
in
a
way
that
is
efficient
for
our
residents
and
efficient
for
our
staff
so
that
they
can
serve
residents
better.
All.
That
being
said,
I
will
move
this
staff
recommendation,
but
I'd
also
like
to
add
on
a
an
a
request
for
an
update
on
the
contract
at
the
midpoint
or
or
even
just
two
years
from
now
to
see
how
it's
going
and
for
that
to
be
brought
back
to
the
smart
cities
committee.
Second,.
B
All
right,
thank
you.
Muslim,
councilmember,
davis
rob.
I
I've
been
told
by
friends
of
mine
who
are
doctors,
that
the
the
occupational
hazard
of
being
a
doctor
is.
Whenever
you
go
to
a
social
gathering,
someone
comes
up
to
you
and
says:
hey.
It
hurts
when
my
arm
goes
like
this
now.
Can
you
fix
it
so
similar
occupational
hazard,
being
the
head
of
I.t,
is
someone's
always
got
to
come
to
you
say
saying
my
email
breaks
down
when
I
do
this
and
you're
just
supposed
to
know.
B
Calendar
invites
won't
load
names,
emails
get
stuck
in
the
outbox,
sometimes
indefinitely.
That's
actually
a
pain
point.
For
me,
too,
I've
discovered
it
emails
in
the
outbox
months
later
invites
won't
update.
If
information
is
changed,
slow,
slow
to
load,
zoom
or
other
meeting
conference
links
and
apparent
challenges
with
crashing
as
well,
I
know
there
is
no
such
thing
as
the
perfect
software.
There
are
certainly
challenges
in
whatever
software
we
choose
and
that's
just
the
reality
of
a
complex
world
in
which
we
all
operate.
O
Oh
yes,
mayor
and
councilmember
davis,
so
we
we
do
have
that
list,
and
especially
ones
about
cooperative
email
sharing
and
calendar
sharing,
as
we
moved
into
the
the
remote
work.
But
we
we
do
have
that
list
to
work
with
them
on
and
including
some
sharepoint
shared
file
usage
as
well
as
onedrive
usage.
B
D
B
Thank
you
all
right.
Thank
you.
All
right,
we're
rolling
item.
3.6
is
the
approval
of
issuance
of
tax-exempt
multi-family
housing,
revenue,
bonds
and
the
loan
of
the
proceeds
thereof
and
related
documents
and
changes
to
existing
loan
and
grant
terms
for
the
markham
plaza
ii
development.
There
is
no
presentation
on
this
item.
F
Thank
you
mayor,
I'm
having
some
connectivity
issues,
so
I
may
have
to
turn
off
my
camera
if
that
makes
it
work
a
little
bit
better.
I
just
wanted
to
say
that
I'm
very
excited
about
this
refinance
thing.
It's
going
to
make
a
dramatic
difference
for
the
residents
living
at
markham
plaza
as
well
as
for
the
surrounding
community.
F
N
Okay,
good:
well,
I'm
glad
to
hear
that
that
you're
supporting,
affordable
housing
and
spending
money.
I
guess
bonds
that
support
housing.
I
think
that's
so
important,
especially
when
I
just
heard
that
we
spent-
I
don't
know
if
it
was
135
million
or
35
million
or
something
to
buy,
extend
the
the
the
the.
What
is
it
the
skating
rink
for
the
sharks
that
we're
spending
money
for
a
private
business
to
extend
their
you
know
their
their
ice
rink.
You
know
that
35
million
or
something
or
something
anyway.
N
When
we
live
near
these
operations,
we,
you
know
we're
the
eyes
of
the
community
and
then
there
needs
to
be
a
controls
over
noise
and
air
pollution
and
that
you
know
to
say
that
we're
not
going
to
have
housing,
because
it's
too
close
to
like
a
mile
away
or
so
a
half
a
mile
away
from
a
polluting
source,
which
is
the
cement
factory
in
our
neighborhood.
You
know,
is
wrong
and
we
need
to
really
reevaluate
that
and
say
that
that
housing
needs
to
be
a
priority
and
businesses.
N
M
M
Yeah
to
try
to
add
to
the
dialogue
of
this
item.
You
know
I
I've
been
trying
to
grasp
the
concept
of
what.
What
exactly
is
our
of
our
our
coveted
things
that
we're
working
towards
and
what
is
just
our
overall
good
practices.
We
always
try
to
develop,
and
this
is
one
of
them
I
mean
we're
all
I
mean
it
seems
like
a
really
nice
good
idea
that
we've
always
tried
to
work
towards
to
create
and
develop.
M
You
know
in
these
next
coming
months
and
years.
You
know
it's
a
lot
for
people
to
want
to
deal
with.
I
know
who
aren't
used
to
wanting
to
work
this
way,
and
I
I
hope
this
this
sort
of
program
can
be
a
simple
example
of
what
what
our
good
practices
are
and
what
we
always
try
to
work
towards
as
local
community
and
government,
and
so
thanks
for
this
project,
and
hopefully
a
good
reminder
that
you
know
the
kobet
19
has
really
grown
a
lot
in
southeast
asia
and
in
india.
M
B
O
D
D
D
Case
management
is
extremely
important.
The
fact
that
you're
gonna
have
more
case
managers
they
help
people
handle
the
day-to-day
lives
of
you
know,
people
who
need
a
little
extra
help,
someone
who
can
navigate
them
through
the
myriad
of
social
services
and
for
every
case
manager.
You
can
maybe
do
away
with
potential
incarceration
potential
emergency
services
and
free
up
those
services
for
other
people,
so
any
place
you
can
get
dollars
to
do.
That
is
great.
D
I
recently
had
some
tragedy
and
not
tragedy,
something
that
I
didn't
expect
and
I'm
now
in
a
new
place,
and
it
was
the
help
of
other
people
and
you
find
people
that
helped
me
get
a
good
price
for
the
place.
I
was
at
that
made
life
on
this
side.
A
lot
lighter,
but
without
those
case
managers,
sometimes
life
just
looks
bleak
because
you
don't
have
no
way
to
overcome
those
horrendous
odds.
So
I
just
anything
you
can
do
is
really
greatly
appreciate
it.
Thank
you,
mr
mayor.
D
H
E
F
B
Thank
you
item.
3.8
is
a
request
for
additional
financial
resources
allocated
by
the
san
jose
city
council
to
charter
review.
Commission,
and
I
know
there
have
been
several
memoranda
that
have
come
in.
I
think
councilman
rayne
says
yesterday
my
apologies
today
I
submitted
one
as
well
incorporating
some
council
member
rance's
recommendations.
N
Okay,
good,
thank
you
so
much.
Yes,
I
participated
in
the
that
commission
on
the
the
issues
of
our
governance
and
how
we're
going
forward
with
our
governance,
and
then
I
never
heard
back
from
them,
and
it
was
like
this
is.
I
guess
why
you
know
where
community
activism
you
know
once
you
sign
up
and
you're
in
something
you
know
in
a
meeting
that
you
know
we
should
be
notified
of
the
agenda
and
all
the
things
which
I
never
got
from
that
group.
N
That
is
dealing
with
the
and
they're
saying
more
charter,
the
charter
review,
and
it
is
a
critical
issue
as
we
go
forward.
You
know
the
way,
we're
you
know
our
governance
and
the
problems
we're
having
with
that,
and
so
you
know
anyway.
That
was
just
something
that
when
they
say
that
they're
they
want
more
money
for
public
outreach.
N
That's
just
a
comment
that,
if
anybody
signs
up
for
the
group
or
for
this
meeting,
which
I
was
in
one
of
them
at
least
that
they
should
be,
you
know
they
make
sure,
there's
a
mailing
list
that
they
get
alerted
to
future
meetings,
so
that
that
was
one
issue.
You
know
I'm
supportive
of
of
the,
I
guess
the
allocation
that
they're
requesting,
but
definitely
more
public
outreach
to
the
community
about
their
their
meetings,
and
so
that
was
that
that
comment
and
and
basically
you
know
it
is
an
important
commission.
N
D
Certainly
when,
when
the
council
decided
to
create
this
commission,
there
was
a
tremendous
amount
of
public
inquiry
into
the
future
of
our
charter,
and
I
think
you
know,
while
we've
appreciated
the
the
efforts
to
date
around
the
charter
commission
for
those
who
who
have
been
participating.
It's
it's
pretty
obvious
that
to
get
the
wider
public
engaged.
In
this
conversation,
it's
going
to
take
new
and
different
kinds
of
public
engagement,
public
engagement,
that's
all
the
much
more
difficult
during
covid
times
and
trying
you
know.
So.
D
What
what
kind
of
things
can
be
done
within
this
review?
Commission?
Additionally,
the
commission
itself
heard
from
some
past
commissioners
from
the
1985
commission
who
strongly
encouraged
the
commission
to
seek
outside
counsel,
in
my
own
personal
outreach
to
other
cities
that
have
been
looking
at
charter
reviews.
D
M
Hi,
thank
you,
laura
beekman
yeah.
Thank
you
for
this
item.
It's
been
ongoing.
My
concerns
about
the
money
issues,
funding
issues
have
to
do
with
the
language
interpretation
and
and
and
if
that
issue
is,
is
being
better
developed,
I
mean
it's
my
feeling
that
you're
having
an
issue
with
zoom
and
the
300
an
hour
charge,
I
feel,
is
something
that
can
be
negotiated.
M
I've
mentioned
many
times.
I
feel
there
can
be
ways
you
can
negotiate
with
the
city
union
to
work
for
for
a
hundred
dollars
an
hour
idea,
I
think,
and
to
get
city
employees
wanting
to
be
involved
in
interpretation
from
vietnamese
espanol.
You
know,
there's
a
a
a
an
eritaen
ethiopian
population,
chinese
sikhi
population.
M
I
mean
I,
I
really
want
to
learn
the
practices.
It's
it's
developing
a
whole
community
with
all
of
its
language
and
cultures
and
and
providing
that
sort
of
service
at
the
public
meeting
process.
That's
how
you
build
our
good
community
and
that's
good
mental
health.
I
think
it
would
bring
good
economic
practices
and
yet
we're
too
scared
of
it,
because
we're
stuck
in
some
english-only
things
from
the
mid
80s
and
I
hope
we're
learning
how
to
get
out
of
that
and
talk
to
san
jose
state
students.
N
At
apologies
mayor,
I
haven't
had
the
chance
to
read
yours,
so
I'll
stay
silent
on
that
one.
I
would
just
respectfully
point
out
to
the
council.
This
is
no
place
to
scrimp
and
and
and
worry
about
the
budget
constraints.
It's
a
once-in-a-generation
activity
and
congratulations
on
appointing
an
excellent.
N
If
you
give
them
the
resources,
they
need
in
a
timely
manner,
let
me
stress,
timely
manner.
I
believe
that
they'll
come
forward
with
a
recommendation
and
please
don't
scrimp
on
the
community
engagement.
Otherwise
you
won't
have
the
faith
of
the
community
and
thank
you
very
much
to
those
residents
that
volunteered
to
be
on
this
commission
and
I
have
great
respect
for
the
work
they've
done
today.
Thank
you.
B
B
I
think
it
would
be
helpful
to
know
if
there
is
some
specific
conflict
of
interest
or
other
allegations
that
should
be
raised.
Certainly
that's
something
that
should
come
with
the
council's
attention
and
making
decisions
like
this,
but
I
think
that's
a
pretty
unlikely
scenario.
I
think
the
attorney's
role
overwhelmingly
is
going
to
be
around
taking
whatever
the
commission
has
recommended
and
putting
it
into
some
kind
of.
B
Legal
resolution
that
of
course,
would
be
considered
and
potentially
altered
by
the
council
before
going
to
the
voters.
Obviously
there
will
be
some
advice
as
well,
but
I'm
having
a
hard
time
understanding
unless
there's
some
reform
that
someone's
proposing
to
undermine
the
authority
of
the
city
attorney
specifically,
I
just
don't
see
the
likelihood
of
a
conflict,
and
my
greater
concern
is
that
attorney
costs
get
very,
very
expensive.
B
There's
very
rare
exceptions
for
that.
We
know
that,
for
example,
in
the
case
of
a
the
pension
funds,
there
are
clear
financial
conflicts
between
the
interests
of
the
city
and
the
interests
of
the
funds
in
terms
of
fiduciary
duties
of
those
boards
and
they're
dealing
with
billions
of
dollars,
and
it's
understandable.
Why
there's
independent
counsel-
that's
just
not
the
case
here,
and
so
I
think
it
would
be
helpful
for
us
to
really
focus
on
those
needs
that
will
most
further
the
the
objectives
of
that
of
the
commission.
K

D
You
know
ways
that
we
can
improve
housing,
improve
public
safety.
That
would
be
something
that
we
would
love
to
to
to
use
with.
You
know
with
outside
counsel-
and
you
know
thank
you
for
being
willing
to.
You
know
expand
our
our
financial
resources
and
we
love
to
for
the
as
the
charter
review
commission
to
give
our
input
for
a
fiscal
year.
2022..
D
D
D
D
D
I
want
to
thank
them
for
raising
these
issues
as
well
as
the
charter
review.
Commission.
Equitable
community
engagement
is
one
of
catalyze
sv's
core
values,
and
we
definitely
see
that
being
talked
about
today.
So
thank
you
to
the
council
for
considering
committee
engagement
as
part
of
the
charter
review
process.
H
K
Thank
you.
So
I
appreciate
all
the
the
callers
who
made
an
effort
to
express
their
views.
We
also
heard
them
previously
at
the
rules
committee
and-
and
it
was
really
important
for
me
to
move
this
this
memo
forward,
as
I
heard
that
there
was
resources
that
they
needed
primarily
in
the
area
of
interpretation
and
translation
of
outreach
and
and
mayor,
and
I
agree
with
you
that
that
we
need
to
really
focus
on
what
is
important
here
and
in
your
memo
on
under
item
one
c.
K
One
and
two
you
talk
about
ensuring
that
there
is
this
operational
infrastructure
to
effectively
conduct
outreach
for
initiatives
of
city-wide
importance,
and
this
is
something
that
has
been
on
my
mind.
Since
you
know,
we've
we've
seen
the
pandemic,
hit
very
fragile
communities
and
and
the
communities
that
are
our
hardest
to
reach.
K
Or
I
don't
have
to
ask
because
I
feel
like
I
constantly
ask
this:
how
did
we
reach
our
hardest
to
reach
communities,
or
did
we
reach
artists
to
reach
communities,
or
did
we
just
do
a
survey
that
was
online?
And
you
know
that's
very
that's
a
very
concise
group
of
people
who
have
access
to
online
services
or
the
resources
or
the
time
to
do
that,
and
so
I'm
absolutely
in
agreement
with
you
on
your
your
one,
your
item
under
one
a
b
c,
I
n
and
two.
K
I
think
the
area
where
I
I
do
disagree
is
is
the
the
legal
expertise
and
I'm.
This
is
no
reflection,
no
reflection
on
on
what
the
the
quality
of
attorneys
that
we
have
here
in
this
city,
and
it
is
not.
You
know,
as
you
heard
some
of
the
speakers,
it's
not
a
financial
conflict
between
you
know
interest.
It's.
It
really
is,
I
believe,
a
gold
standard,
it's
a
best
practice
and
I,
I
believe
jeffrey,
a
buchanan
had
also
cited
the
the
1985
san
jose
charter
review.
K
K
J
H
Yes,
thank
you,
and
I
want
to
thank
the
members
of
the
public
and
members
of
the
commission
that
have
spoken
and
given
their
input
on
this
topic
and
spoken
to
me
over
the
past
month.
As
a
member
of
the
rules
committee
and
also
leading
up
to
this
meeting,
to
give
me
their
perspective.
I've
spoken
extensively
with
the
district
4
commission
member
to
get
his
perspective
on
what
it
is
that
they're
they
need
to
get
their
job
done.
H
I'm
fully
supportive
of
making
sure
that
we
have
resources
available
for
the
outreach
and
translation
services
that
they
need
to
reach
every
corner
of
our
community,
and
you
know
I
don't
want
to
limit
the
amount
there.
I
do
have
questions
about
the
necessity
of
spending
the
resources
and
the
time
it
would
take
to
to
vet
and
hire
outside
counsel.
When
we
do
have
a
council,
that's
supporting
that
commission.
H
My
preference
would
be
to
provide
even
more
resources
for
on
the
for
the
rest
of
what
the
commission
needs
and
not
use
those
resources
for
council,
and
so
let
me
ask
some
questions
of
of
nora
about
the
role
of
the
council.
Representing
that
commission.
You
know
I'm
hearing
concerns
that
seem
hypothetical
to
me
about
about
conflict
of
interest.
How
do
you
see
the
role
of
the
legal
counsel
representative
who's
working
with
the
charter
commission.
H
J
H
And
I
have
found
you
and
your
office
to
handle
these
things.
You
know
very
well
from
a
neutral
standpoint
in
terms
of
making
sure
that
you
are
implementing
the
will
of
the
body
that
you're
interacting
with
and
not
interjecting
your
own
opinions
about
what
should
be
done.
So
you
know
I
do
trust
that
we
can
get
that
done
when
I
had
an
extensive
conversation
with
a
commissioner
earlier
today
he's
very
thoughtful.
H
The
internal
legal
counsel
can
handle
this,
so
my
feeling
is
that
we
ought,
to
you,
know,
use
internal
legal
counsel
and
provide
the
resources.
The
commission
needs
to
do
their
jobs
in
every
other
way
that
they
need
it
and,
as
the
mayor
points
out
in
his
memo,
wait
for
that
situation
to
arrive
if
it
does
and
where
we
might
have
to
react
and
say
this
this
you
know
we
didn't
get
the
what
we
think
is
mutual
advice.
H
D
B
I
I
B
D
Just
in
case
no,
I
would
concur
with
the
city
manager.
I
think
that
there's
a
variety
of
different
projects
right
now,
where
the
staff
is
engaged
with
the
community
and
to
the
extent
we
can
take
advantage
of
those
and
align
to
those
different
efforts,
as
well
as
partner
with
different
community
members
in
the
short
term,
I
think
we'd
be
looking
at
a
mix
of
those
and
again
we
can
report
back
to
the
council
of
further
time
on
that.
I
Thank
you
and
I
think
all
of
our
council
offices
will
be
happy
to
pass
along
the
information
of
the
neighborhood
associations
and
the
the
kind
of
the
key
people
in
in
our
districts
that
are,
we
know
already,
are
interested
in
these
because
they've
contacted
us
about
about
these
kinds
of
about
these
kinds
of
issues.
So
that's
something
that
you
know.
If
you
I
know
you're,
you
don't
need
a
starting
point,
because
you're
already
you're
already
there,
but
that's
something
that
might
be
helpful
and
and
I'm
happy
to
do
it.
D
Thank
you
mayor.
I
was
going
to
also
ask
the
questions
about
getting
more
clarity
around
why
we
want
to
use
outside
counsel
versus
our
own
city
attorneys,
and
then
there
hasn't
been
any
clarity
on
that
and
councilmember
coleman
asked
some
really
good
questions
and
I've.
I've
been
struggling
to
try
to
understand
or
identify
some
compelling
reasons
why
we
want
to
go
up
with
outside
counsel,
and
I
have
not
heard
that
and
that's
the
reason
why
I
second
the
substitute
motion.
D
I
also
agree
with
the
the
sentiment
that
if
we
are
going
to
use
additional
funds,
it
would
be
better
to
use
those
funds
for
outreach
and
other
types
of
community
engagement
versus
legal
services,
but
all
the
other
aspects
of
council
member
arranges
this
memo,
I'm
totally
in
support
of-
and
I
want
to
thank
her
for
moving
this
forward
and
I'm
looking
forward
to
a
very
successful
charter
review
process.
So
thank
you,
mayor.
F
F
J
F
So
so
I
you
know
this,
this
has
been
a
puzzling
discussion
to
me,
so
I
I
actually
have
the
1985
information
in
front
of
me
and
the
1978
information
in
front
of
me.
I
so
it's
my
understanding
that
the
previous
charter
review
commissions
used
outside
counsel
and
that's
where
chair
ferrer
is
basing
his
request
on
it's.
It's
actually
not
mentioned
in
the
in
the
charter
reports.
F
F
J
I
we
have
not
heard
any
specific
issues
you,
the
pension
issue
is
probably
the
one
that
comes
to
mind
for
most
people,
because
you'll
recall
we
did
recuse
our
office
on
measure
b
was
that
was
a
a
real
financial
legal
conflict
of
interest
for
people
in
our
office,
but
otherwise
recusing
ourselves
or
having
conflicts
that
would
force
us
to
not
participate
in.
Something
are,
are
very
few
and
far
between.
F
Okay,
and
so
so,
the
substitute
motion
includes
the
mayor's
number
two,
which
is
until
and
unless
some
palpable
conflict
of
interest
or
other
concern
necessitating
outside
counsel
is
brought
to
council's
attention.
I
I
I
maybe
it's
because
I
have.
I
had
an
interesting
experience
having
to
hop
onto
an
rfp
from
another
city
to
get
my
constituent
software,
so
that
was
a
very
painful
experience
and
long
lengthy
experience.
F
F
F
Let
us
know,
give
us
some
time,
because
this
is
a
budget
request,
and
so
you
know
if
we
decline
the
request
for
outside
counsel
now
we
would
still
be
able
to
accommodate
that
within
our
budget
timeline
or
our
budget
process
in
the
city,
to
accommodate
that
request,
to
have
a
successful
commission
as
possible
and
so
tony
if
they
could
come
back
to
us
with
with
some
kind
of
explanation.
I
think
that
would
be
really
helpful
and
and
preferably
to
coincide
with
our
own
budget
process.
F
F
F
P
It's
the
position
of
the
commission
that
outside
council
is
was
necessary
after
listening
to
the
discussion
from
former
commissioners
from
the
1985
commission
to
look
at
basically
two
things,
one
was
conflict
of
interest
and
we
didn't
seem
to
feel
that
there
was
any
conflict
of
interest
currently,
but
that
was
one
of
the
items
that
was
raised
in
the
potential
of
that.
But
the
second
item
was
really
to
look
at
that.
There's
the
drafting
of
the
actual
ideas
coming
from
outside
council
as
well.
P
So
the
commission
says
we
really
want
to
look
at
equity
in
these
kinds
of
areas.
It
was
the
legal
side
that
came
back
with
ideas
for
those
specific
pieces
of
what
could
we
do
about
something
like
equity
if
we
were
looking
for
a
charter
amendment
and
so
really
one
experience
of
the
1985
commission
that
that's
where
some
of
their
ideas
came
from
was
the
outside
council?
It
wasn't
that
they
came
with
the
idea.
They
knew
what
they
wanted
to
get
done,
but
they
didn't
know
what
the
vehicle
options
were
for
that.
P
So
that's
the
second
reason
why
the
commission's
asking
for
this
outside
support.
We
are
looking
at
the
use
of
the
the
attorney
mark.
Manny's
work
with
us.
He
has
been
at
all
our
meetings,
he's
been
consulting
with
me,
he's
done,
training
on
brown
act
and
all
the
different
things
that
we've
asked
of
him.
P
F
F
B
D
D
You
know
the
question
I
have
is
more,
I
guess
just
basic,
because
it
seems
like
we've,
invested
the
resources
and
thought
that
it
was
important
enough
to
to
to
give
the
past
commissions
independent
council
right
and
make
that
investment.
I'm
curious
as
to
why-
and
this
is
I
guess-
for
nora
or
anyone
else,
but
I'm
curious
as
to
why
we
think
it
shouldn't
happen
this
time
around.
D
M
D
B
D
Legal
question:
well
not
well,
not
even
necessarily
someone
advocating,
but
I
guess
I'd
like
to
better
understand
to
the
extent
someone
could
recall
why
that
commission
in
86
or
85
had
independent
council,
not
necessarily
whether
they
should
or
shouldn't.
I
guess
I
just
wondering
why
it
happened
last
time
around
if.
B
D
J
J
Know
how
how
large
the
city
attorney's
office
was
at
that
point
if
it
was
a
staffing
issue,
I
truly
don't
know
why
that
came
about,
but
I
do
know
that
the
office
grew
quite
substantially
after
85
as
we
took
litigation
inside
and
things
like
that.
But
I
don't
know
if
it
was
a
staffing
issue
back
then.
B
I
appreciate
the
point
I
I
I
don't
know
what
the
city's
attorney's
office
was
like
40
years
ago,
I'm
guessing
it
was
smaller
and
you
know
for
me
and
appreciate
the
work
of
the
85
commission,
but
but
they're,
not
legal
experts
and
and
the
question
of
whether
you
need
outside
counsel
or
not,
is
fundamentally
a
legal
question
that
is.
Is
there
a
conflict
of
interest?
Is
there
something
outside
counsel
provides
you
that
you
don't
get
with
the
legal
counsel?
B
The
city
provides
by
the
way
to
the
planning
commission
to
the
housing
commission
to
the
general
plan.
Commission
lots
of
commissions
routinely
rely
on
the
city
attorney,
even
though
they
those
commissions
may
have
views
that
are
very
different
than
the
councils.
So
we
routinely
have
this
approach.
We
think
it
saves
a
lot
of
money
rather
than
spending
thousands
of
dollars
on
outside
counsel,
and
I
think
there's
no
question.
The
cost
of
outside
counsel
is
far
greater
now
than
it
was
in
the
mid
80s.
B
You
can
pay
upwards
of
close
to
a
thousand
dollars
an
hour
these
days.
I
know
it's
more
than
500
in
many
cases
I
I
am
concerned
that
four
months
to
get
an
rfp
out
means
you've
already
missed
an
enormous
amount
of
account.
The
the
commission's
work
already.
So
even
if
we
move
forward
full
speed
ahead,
they're
not
going
to
have
counsel
for
many
months
anyway.
B
So
it's
probably
not
going
to
get
you
much
benefit
and-
and
I'm
also
just
concerned
that
you
know
outside
counsel-
isn't
going
to
have
any
idea
about
the
unique
aspects
of
our
city
charter.
I
mean
we
have
municipal
law
experts
out
in
our
city
and
they're
called
city
attorneys,
and
they
know
more
about
our
charter.
Anybody
else,
and
if
the
question
is
hey,
you
need
outside
ideas
or
ideas
to
come
from
the
outside.
Well,
that's
why
you
hire
experts
to
do
the
hard
research
about?
B
B
Their
job
is
not
to
inject
themselves
and
say:
here's
a
better
policy,
their
their
job
is
to
say:
if
this
is
the
policy,
you
want
to
enact
here's
how
you
can
do
it
and
that's
where
we
have
unique
expertise
in-house
that
I
think,
frankly,
you
know
a
private
law
firm
isn't
going
to
have.
There
are
reasons
tracked
out,
and
this
isn't
one
of
those
cases.
D
Yeah,
I
appreciate
that
and
I
suspect,
some
of
that
expertise
existed
back
in
86
as
well.
I
guess
I'm
just
trying
to
try
to
wrap
my
head
around
the
whole
thing.
I
think
it
just
can
be
viewed
in
different
ways,
but
and
I'm
not
sold
either
way,
but
I
I
guess
the
other.
The
other
question
I
have
is
for
mr
ferrer,
given
that
he's
the
chair
of
the
commission.
Mr
ferrari,
can
you
enlighten
us
as
to
whether
I
think
you
got
a
presentation
from
past
commissioners
from
the
85
commission?
D
D
P
Council,
member
jimenez,
I
think
the
the
85
commission
moved
us
to
district
elections,
so
I
think
there
was
that
was
state
of
the
art
in
terms
of
the
law
at
that
time.
So
that
was
one
of
the
items
that
came
from
that
commission.
I
don't
know
the
exact
role
of
outside
counsel.
It
may
have
been
in
fact
that
the
city
attorney's
office
didn't
have
capacity
at
the
time
I
don't
know,
but
it
was
just
really
repeated
by
a
number
of
the
former
commissioners
on
that
commission,
as
advice
to
us
to
that.
D
M
D
K
Thank
you,
and
I
I
want
to
thank
chair
ferreira
for
his
service
and
also
for
his
input.
That
was
very
valuable.
I
I
I
want
to
say
that
I
think
that
that
what
you
expressed
fred
can
be
accomplished
with
maybe
changing
some
of
these
spending
categories,
and-
and
maybe
not
the
outside
legal
counsel,
should
be
the
the
tool
that
you'll
use
to
guide
you
into
drafting,
maybe
something
that
would
incorporate
equity,
but
maybe
it
would
be
the
qualitative
research
services
that
I
think
at
this
point
only
have
35
000.
K
So
I'd
like
to
ask
fred,
if
that
or
I
don't
know
who
I
don't
know
fred,
that
would
actually
know
that,
but
could
could
the
maybe
tony.
Could
we
divert
some
of
that
money
to
the
qualitative
research
services
so
that
the
questions
that
the
commission
has
can
be
answered
and
if
it's
not
a
if
it's
not
a
a
legal
point,
but
if
it's
a
incorporation
of
of
values
and
principles
and
equity
into
into
the
work
that
they're
doing,
could
this?
K
D
F
K
P
Councilman
miranda,
I
think
that's
a
great
idea,
and
I
think
that
that's
really
where
the
need
could
be
more
helpful
to
the
commission
in
terms
of
increasing
the
research
capacity,
because
it
is
the
questions
that
have
come
up
around.
What
about
this?
What
about
that
and
as
to
the
mayor's
point,
it
may
not
be
a
legal
issue
as
much
as
it
is
well
researched
of
what
exactly
exists.
K
How
they've
integrated
that
or
you
know
I
don't
know
what
the
question
is
in
terms
of
equity.
But
I
just
heard
that
that
was
a
an
area
of
interest,
and
so
you
know
whether
it's
it's
this
particular
contractor
or
somebody
else
tony
who,
who
might
be
more
well
versed
in
in
equity,
maybe
something
that
that
we
could
pull
in
for
the
commission
if
that
is
their
interest.
K
So
one
of
the
things
that
I
was
actually
thinking
about
was
you
know,
could
we
ask,
and
maybe
the
the
legal
question
is
isn't
where
they
need
more
of
the
resources?
Although
I've
got
to
say
that
you
know
this
was
never
about
a
reflection
of
our
internal
council.
I've
been
with
with
the
city.
This
is
my
fifth
year
and
for
those
of
you
who've
just
begun.
I
think
you've
already
seen
what
a
quality
staff
we
have,
and
I've
certainly
seen
this
in
the
last
four
years.
K
K
Okay,
great
so
councilmember
cohen,
I'd
like
to
see
if
we
could
accept
a
friendly
amendment
to
have
our
city
attorneys
participate
in
a
discussion
at
the
next
meeting
or
at
the
next
more.
Whatever
is
convenient
if
the
next
meeting
is
appropriate
or
the
meeting
after
that
to
come
back
to
counsel
with
a
plan
that
sufficiently
addresses
the
needs
of
the
commission-
and
I
think
at
this
point
we
we
may
not
have
all
the
answers
and-
and
we
want
to,
I
want
to
make
sure
that
we
have
the
right
kinds
of
resources
for
commissioners.
K
If
it
isn't
legal-
and
I
certainly
you
know-
want
to
hand
them
with
you
know
all
of
the
resources
that
they
have.
I
know
that,
if
this
might
originally,
I
obviously
I
was
advocating
for
legal
services,
but
it
sounds
like
from
just
the
development
of
the
conversation
that
this
might
not
be
what
they're
looking
for
and
so
to
better
define
what
what
they
want.
I'm
hoping
that
maybe
what
we
could
do
is
request
tony
to
participate
in
a
discussion
at
the
next
meeting.
K
H
H
Hearing
what
the
commission
out
request
is
for
what
their
needs
are.
In
fact,
you
know
if
we're
not.
I
think
that
we're
better
off
adding
more
resources
into
the
number
one
of
the
mayor's
memo
to
make
sure
that
they
have
whatever
they
need
to
hire
consultants
and
and
do
the
research.
So
so,
if
we
find
out,
we
need
more
than
110
000
between
now
and
the
end
of
june.
I'd
be
supportive
of
that.
So
I
think
it's
important
for
us
to
for
them
that
conversation
come
back
and
request
what
they
need.
K
Oh
great
and
you
know
and
I'd
you
know
I'll
leave
up
to
whatever
they
decide.
I
I
don't
want
to
decide
for
them,
but
I
I
do
think
that
there
are
resources.
There
are
municipalities
that
are
further
ahead
of
us
in
terms
of
race
and
equity
work
and
integrating
that
into
our
our
governance,
and
we
might
you
know
our
commissioners
might
benefit
from
that
is
if
that
is
an
area
of
interest,
and
so
I
just
want
to
put
that
piece
out
there.
F
F
So,
and
I'd
also
like
to
thank
the
commissioners
that
have
been
on
today
and
the
chair
in
particular
fred
ferrer.
I
know
that
this
is
a
an
important
task
and
thank
him
for
stepping
up
for
this
leadership
and
echo
that
the
discussion
today
in
no
way
reflects
on
the
work
of
the
city
attorney's
office,
who
we
rely
on
all
the
time,
and
I've
had
have
confidence
in
so
I'll,
be
supporting
the
amended
motion.
Thank
you.
B
Thank
you.
I
also
want
to
thank
the
chair,
fred
ferraro
in
his
day.
Job
as
running
an
organization
and
running
a
nonprofit,
particularly
these
days
is
no
easy
feat,
so
I
wanted
to
say
thank
you
to
fred
for
all
of
his
service
and
leadership
in
the
community,
as
well
as
to
all
the
commission.
Members
who,
I
know
are
taking
many
hours
away
from
their
busy
lives
to
offer
their
insights
and
ideas
to
help
move
our
city
move
forward.
B
F
B
I
I'm
glad
you
think
so.
Thank
you
good
afternoon,
council
members
and
mayor
with
me
today.
I
have
eve
zooty,
who
I
think
is
going
to
be
doing
our
screen
sharing
he'll
be
bringing
up
our
presentation.
We
are
here
to
talk
to
you
about
two
parks
actually
in
the
north,
san
pedro
area
of
the
city
and
I'll.
Just
give
him
a
minute
to
get.
You
can
yeah
so
eve.
Zoody
is
our
division
manager,
and
I
am
deputy
director
parks,
recreation
and
neighborhood
services
next
slide.
I
Here
we
go
so
for
context
and
site
location.
These
are
we're
here
with
two
parks,
the
ones
that
are
noted
as
number
two
and
number
three
on
your
slide.
That's
in
front
of
you.
The
first
park
is
actually
pelier
park
and
you
saw
that
master
plan
in
december
of
2019
for
approval
you're,
actually
going
to
see
the
construction
award
of
that
at
next
week's
city
council.
I
I
I
North
san
pedro
has
a
theme
around
gathering
and
you'll
see
in
the
design
that
he
shows
you.
What
that,
what
that
looks
like
and
bassett
street
has
a
nasset
park,
has
a
theming
around
play
and
active
recreation,
so
the
three
of
them
together
kind
of
create
a
network
and
and
create
a
complete
community.
So
with
that,
I'm
going
to
turn
it
over
to
eve
and
he
can
walk
you
through
each
of
the
spaces.
C
C
When,
when
we
begin
a
project,
we
we
engaged
the
community
in
that
conversation
and
part
of
this
effort
was
to
to
conduct
a
series
of
three
meetings,
which
is
our
our
our
process
to
first
have
a
meeting
where
we
think
about
the
priorities
and
preferences
of
the
community,
and
so
we
we
sent
out
mailers
to
all
residents
within
500
feet
of
the
project
site.
That
was
both
people
who
reside
there
and
property
owners,
and
in
in
this,
in
this
type
of
meeting,
we
ask
what
people
seek
to
do
in
these
park
spaces.
C
What
are
the
opportunities
they
see?
What
are
the
challenges
they
face
and
we
we
take
all
of
that
input
and
get
some
general
guidance,
and
we
take
that
back
and
think
through
it
and
so
at
the
the
second
meeting
at
the
first
meeting
we
had
eight
participants,
but
we
we
wanted
more
input.
So
we
put
out
a
survey
and
got
23
responses.
C
That
information
helped
us
at
the
second
meeting
where
we
can
bring
in
a
number
of
concepts
to
the
community
that
reflect
what
they
were
seeking
to
have
in
these
parks,
and
it
helps
us
determine
what
the
preferences
are
and
where
we
can
fine-tune
and
adjust
and
often
times,
people
will
see
something
they
like
in
a
number
of
options,
and
so
we
we
pull
that
together
and
so
at
a
third
meeting.
We
we
come
back
with
preferred
options
for
each
and
we
work
on
the
very
fine
details
to
make
it
work.
C
These
meetings
were
all
very
positive
and
productive.
We
had
really
active
neighborhood
groups
and
including
with
the
pelier
park.
We
had
folks
who
had
worked
on
that
parks,
development
in
the
1970s
and
so
that
that
longevity
and
interest
in
these
parks
was
there
what's
interesting
too
about
these
parks
in
any
project
is
the
site,
challenges
and
I'll
show
those
to
you
in
a
second
but
they're
underlying.
Why?
C
When
we
went
back
to
activate
sj
our
20-year
strategic
plan
that
the
council
approved,
we,
we
went
to
our
five
guiding
principles
to
make
sure
we
reflected
the
parks
for
those
principles.
So
in
terms
of
stewardship
and
keeping
the
the
parks
looking
great
over
the
long
term
for
the
north
san
pedro
site,
we
had
a
mix
of
hardscape
and
artificial
turf.
C
We're
incorporating
nature
through
bringing
in
oak
trees
to
the
north
san
pedro
site
and
then
a
variety
of
shade
trees
and
palm
trees
at
bassett
and
the
palm
trees
are
a
nod
to
the
historical
images
we
had
of
the
old
train
station
that
used
to
be
a
basset.
So
before
deardon
station
was
was
san
jose's
rail
hub.
There
was
the
train
station
here
at
bassett
for
equity
and
access.
C
Our
parks
are
serving
3000
new
homes,
some
are
built
now.
Others
are
under
development
soon
and
then
that
and
for
both
parks.
We've
we've
brought
in
a
full
range
of
activities,
as
nicole
mentioned,
some
are
active.
Some
are
passive
for
identity.
We
looked
to
the
rail,
the
yard
and
the
bass
train
station.
That
was
once
there
in
the
switch
yard.
C
So
the
paving
designs
you'll
see
recall
how
a
train
transfers
from
one
rail
to
another
as
it
approaches
the
station
and
then
we're
using
public
art
at
bassette
park
to
re,
recall
the
crops
that
were
grown
in
the
area
and
specifically
the
oranges
and
then
for
public
life.
The
idea
of
where
people
where
people
can
socialize
and
enjoy
life
here
in
san
jose
north
san
pedro
park
is
set
up
specifically
to
be
social.
C
So,
to
show
you
what
that
looks
like
this
is
north
san
pedro
park,
and
the
site
challenge
here
was
was
was
a
big
one.
There
is
a
lot
of
horizontal
lines
that
you
see
here,
and
these
aren't
paving
details.
These
are
the
utilities
that
are
running
through
this.
This
right-of-way
space,
which
we
have
to
sustain
this,
is
the
the
cable,
the
plumbing
the
electrical
that
keeps
the
city
humming,
and
so
we
we
need
to
preserve
that.
C
C
Artificial
turf
allows
us
to
develop
an
area
of
play
without
doing
substantial,
excavation
and
irrigation,
and
then
space
allocated
for
food
trucks
and
that
type
of
activation
is
set
here
and
then
for
context.
This
space
here
is
not
part
of
the
park
in
the
lower
left.
It's
a
dog
park
for
the
private
community,
but
the
benefit
here
is
that
that
keeps
the
space
open
and
visual.
So
you
have
complete
observation
from
both
old
west
julian
street
and
bassett
street.
C
So
that's
how
the
team
worked
through
that
that
site
challenge
and
you
can
see
the
movement
of
the
paving
lines
and
the
landscaping
lines
would
suggest
the
rail
cars
are
coming
towards
the
station.
The
rails
are,
are
convening
and
crossing
in
this
area
as
we
get
to
bassett
park
a
little
bit
further
to
the
north.
This
is
how
the
park
will
look
from
a
helicopter,
and
you
can
see
how
coleman
avenue
or
overpass
spans
over
the
the
park
itself.
If
we,
if
we
pull
away
that
structure.
C
This
is
how
the
park
lays
out
the
the
overlying
design
theme
is
those
rails
coming
into
the
station.
We've
got
areas
where
we're
in
daylight
for
the
the
shade
trees
and
the
palm
trees,
which
we
call
some
of
the
historic
imagery
we
had.
We
have
a
climbing
wall,
which
we
strategically
put
between
the
columns
to
use
space
that
was
awkward
to
use
for
any
other
reason,
but
also
lowered
for
visibility
and
to
be
more
friendly
for
novice.
C
We're
going
to
assume
most
people
who
come
here
didn't
just
go
climbing
at
yosemite,
they're,
they're,
practicing
and
they're
learning
in
this
area.
We're
gonna
have
a
playground
in
this
area
and
the
fitness
station
in
here
ping,
pong
and
other
types
of
recreation,
and
then
public
art
pieces
here
along
bassett
street
to
enliven
that
that
street
scene
and
the
park
itself
from
from
an
elevation
view,
will
use
lighting
to
eliminate
the
underside
of
the
structure.
C
We've
worked
at
the
department
of
transportation
to
make
sure
that
we
can
paint
with
specific
types
of
paints.
We
don't
affect
their
ability
to
monitor
and
inspect
the
structure,
so
we
can
bring
a
lot
of
color
into
the
space
climbing
wall,
playground,
fitness
area
and
areas
to
enjoy
turf
and
landscaping
in
the
foreground,
and
then
the
public
art
pieces
were
are
conceptualized
here
by
artist,
vikki
skuri.
C
I
For
all
this
time,
I
think
I
could
remember
to
unmute
so
to
wrap
up.
We
are
asking
you
to
adopt
a
resolution
to
accept
an
addendum
to
the
downtown
strategy,
2040
eir,
so
we
can
get
our
sql
clearance
for
these
two
parks
and
that
you
approve
the
master
plans
for
both
the
north
san
pedro
street
and
bassett
street
parks.
I
will
note
that
those
are
working
titles
both
of
those
are
working
names.
B
I'm
sorry
please
forgive
me.
Thank
you.
I
was
having
a
great
conversation
with
myself
nicole
these.
Thank
you
very
much
for
the
presentation
it's
very
exciting.
Certainly
we
don't
have
very
often
that
we're
able
to
say
we're
creating
a
new
neighborhood
in
this
city
and
obviously
with
beautiful
parks.
Here
are
two
of
the
three
of
the
parks
more
to
come.
N
Yes,
hi
good.
Thank
you.
Yes,
we
are
happy
to
hear
that
there
are
going
to
be
parks
more
in
our
neighborhood,
especially
that
I've
heard
that
the
downtown
station
area
plan
and
the
google
west
plan
is
40
under
what
the
general
plan
for
our
city
says.
We
need
open
space,
so
that's
really
critical
and
we're
not.
You
know
putting
our
money
where
our
mouth
is
in
regards
to
open
space,
because
that
yeah
that
hurts,
we
don't
get
any
economic
development
from
economic
from
from
open
space,
and
this
is
what's
got
to
change.
N
We
have
to
start
d
d
d
growing,
you
know
to
less
growth
and
that's
how
we
reduce
our
fossil
fuel,
we're
not
going
to
have
a
growth
at
the
rates
that
we
have
had
and
and
solve
our
climate,
chronic
change
process,
climate
trade
change
crisis,
and
so
we
have
to
de-growth,
and
so
the
parks
are
a
good
thing.
The
only
thing
I
I
didn't
have
I
had
trouble
with
was
the
palm
trees.
I
know
palm
trees
are
not
considered
native.
N
I
think
we
really
and
not
to
have
just
a
little
sign
about
the
orange
trees.
We
need
to
have
trees,
we
need
to
have
a
real
orchard.
We
should
really
be
growing
food
there
instead
of
having
you
know
just
you
know
a
poster
about
that.
We
used
to
grow
food
here,
because
that
needs
to
change.
We
need
to
grow
food
locally,
and
so
that's
something.
N
You
know
that
I'm
so
happy
that
this
shasta
hancher
park,
neighborhood
association,
eric
sound,
has
written
a
letter
about
the
need
for
615
to
not
be
a
hotel
and
to
be
a
park.
That
was
one
of
the
options
that
and
I've
been
saying
that
as
well
and
that
you
know
when
we
go
for
a
hotel
and
development.
M
Hi,
thank
you
for
the
words
of
tessa
woodmanzee.
I
know
what
she's
trying
to
say
more
and
more
clearly
she's
thinking
about
garden
issues
and
yeah.
I
think
garden
ideas
could
be
really
nice
for
this
for
this
park
and
to
consider
indigenous
trees.
I
know
you
you're
doing
some
new
tree
studies
to
really
consider
you
know
indigenous
trees
from
say
you
know
central
downtown
area
compared
to
east
san
jose.
M
M
M
How
long
will
it
be
storing
my
data
and
and
can
I
can
I
understand
what
exactly
technology
will
be
using
there
you
know.
Can
I
ask
those
sort
of
questions
of
yourselves?
Are
you
too
afraid
and
frightened
and
do
not
want
to
share
that
information?
That's
the
future.
We're
moving
towards
is
how
that
whole
process
can
be
open.
Thank
you.
M
O
O
I
will
say
that
the
community
members
yesterday
all
expressed
a
lot
of
excitement
and
I
think
really.
The
only
thing
now
is
they're
they're
eager
to
see
these
parks
all
get
built.
It's
going
to
take
some
time
as
I
cautioned
them
and
we're
going
to
kick
off
with
the
groundbreaking
pele.
Excuse
me
yeah
groundbreaking
of
pele
and
and
that'll
be
the
first
and
but
really
excited
in
to
go
down
this
endeavor.
So
I
will
move
staff
recommendation.
Thank
you.
G
O
B
You
councilmember
and
you're
absolutely
right
and
saying
this
goes
way
back,
so
I
I
should
think
it
was.
I
think,
former
mayor
tom
mchenry
who
went
to
governor
schwarzenegger
to
ask
for
funding
for
infrastructure
back
when
I
was
a
council
member.
There
gosh,
I
don't
know
maybe
2009
until
the
great
recession
and
and
our
redevelopment
agency
that
to
get
this
thing
built
out,
and
so
I'm
just
glad
we're.
B
D
H
D
H
C
E
E
B
E
Great,
so
I'm
here
with
jackie
morales
sprand,
our
director
of
housing,
as
well
as
james
stagey,
who
is
our
housing
policy
and
planning
administrator,
currently
overseeing
our
grants
team,
so
we're
here
tonight
for
a
community
hearing
on
the
proposed
spending
of
our
fiscal
year,
21
22
annual
action
plan
that
spends
from
our
federal
funds.
The
four
funds
that
you
see
here
before
you.
E
E
This
covers
our
contract
with
home
first
for
street
outreach
and
legal
services
will
continue
to
fund
the
san
jose
housing
rights
consortium
which
provides
services
for
low-income,
tenants
and
landlords.
And
finally,
the
fair
housing
services.
We're
proposing
to
continue
funding
is
also
a
consortium
of
the
law
foundation,
project,
sentinel
asian
law
alliance
alliance
and
senior
adults.
Legal
assistance
and
this
list
is
on
page
six
of
the
staff
report.
E
So
this
is
where
we're
proposing
to
fund
wi-fi
networks
continuing
our
enhanced
code
enforcement
in
low-income
areas,
particularly
in
areas
where
we're
leveraging
other
city
programs
and
resources
we're
proposing
to
continue
the
rehab
of
the
bill.
Wilson,
youth
shelter-
and
this
also
includes
funding
for
habitat
for
humanity
and
rebuilding
together
for
home
repairs
in
low-income.
E
Neighborhoods,
the
spending
for
home
is
primarily
two
categories.
The
first
is
a
proposed
2.4
million
for
new
housing
development
and
second,
is
2.2
million
in
tenant-based
rental
assistance,
and
we
have
not
programmed
the
tenant-based
rental
assistance
yet
we're
just
earmarking.
This
funding
and
the
fair
housing
is
for
that
legal
consortium
that
I
mentioned
on
the
prior
slides
and
this
chart
is
also
on
page
nine
of
your
staff
report
and
for
hapa
we're
proposing
to
topwa
we're
proposing
to
continue
funding
our
contract
with
the
health,
trust
for
rental
assistance
and
supportive
services.
E
And
then
here
is
the
public
outreach
that
we've
done
to
date.
We've
had
two
public
hearings
at
our
housing
commission.
This
is
the
first
public
hearing
before
this
body,
we'll
be
back
again
for
a
final
public
hearing
and
approval
on
may
11th
before
we
submit
plans
to
hud
by
the
may
15th
deadline
and
then
finally,
this
is
a
public
hearing
on
funding
priorities
for
the
fiscal
year,
2021-22
annual
action
plan
for
use
of
federal
funds
from
hud.
B
N
Yes,
this
is
professor
c.
I
just
talked
to
my
beautiful
neighbor
and
she
was
reminding
me
and
I'm
on
stockton
avenue
of
all
the
pollution
that
is
in
our
neighborhood,
and
I
know
that
you're
going
to
bring
it
back
to
housing.
This
is
a
housing
issue
that
we're
talking
about
and
we
have
a
housing
crisis
and
we
have
a
pollution
crisis.
We
have
a
climate
crisis
and
we
have
a
biodiversity
crisis
and
you
guys
are
not
addressing
it
and
that's
where
my
neighbor
and
that
my
my
community
is
highly
at
risk
for
pollution.
N
Ever
since
I've
lived
here,
I've
had
to
deal
with
living
across
from
a
bus
depot,
okay
and
so
a
diesel
bus
depot,
and
I
am
experiencing,
and
my
neighbors
have
experienced
the
high
impact
of
this
pollution
on
the
deaths.
The
number
of
deaths
that
have
been
in
my
community
and
the
disability,
and-
and
this
is
these-
are
the
issues
and
when
we're
talking
about
what
we're
going
to
be
building
in
this
community
and
you
are
bringing
to
us
a
hotel.
N
M
M
M
I
love
saying
that
word
trying
to
say
that
word
is,
for
this
item
is
ideas
of
a
wi-fi
investment
and
I
suppose
that
this
would
be
my
time
to
really,
as
you
talk
with
federal
government
agencies,
you
know
remind
them
how
we're
trying
to
build
wi-fi
and
4g
and
5g
at
this
time.
I
think
san
jose
actually
has
the
capabilities
to
do
something
pretty
interesting,
with
the
process
of
not
only
building,
4
and
5g
to
help
digital.
The
digital
divide
issues.
M
I
am
I'm
con,
I'm
talking
about
the
wi-fi
investments,
and
so
with
that
being
said,
it
is
my
personal
feeling
that,
as
as
we
are
talking
about,
you
know
four
and
five
digit
bridging
and
digital
divide
issues.
It
can
really
be
a
time
to
talk
about
open
public
policies
with
that
digital
divide
process
and
with
the
four
and
five
5g
process.
M
D
D
F
Right
so
I
I
just
wanted
to
thank
staff
for
this
report
and
for
the
variety
of
things
that
we're
able
to
fund
and
really
excited
to
hear
about
oak
grove
and
independence
moving
forward
as
well.
I
think
that's
huge
for
us
and
I
had
a
question,
and
this
is
just
we
don't
do.
We
need
to
vote
to
accept
this
update
or
we
just
because
it's
an
update
right.
It's
a
public
hearing.
F
Cool
thanks
so
then
I
had
some
questions.
I've
had
a
number
of
residents
in
a
couple
of
neighborhoods
in
very
high
needs.
Neighborhoods
come
back
to
my
office
and
say
that
their
requests
for
legal
assistance
have
been
denied,
and
so
I
had
some
questions
around
how
we're
tracking
how
we
offer
tenant
assistance
moving
forward.
I
think
it's
super
critical.
It's
a
really
critical
need,
especially
as
we're
coming
out
of
the
pandemic.
F
There
are
a
lot
of
tenants
throughout
the
city,
45
of
the
city
or
45
of
the
city
or
tenants.
I
don't
I'm
not
saying
they're
all
worried,
but
many
are,
and
so
how
are
we
managing
those
contracts?
What
are
we
seeing
in
terms
of
the
need?
How
many
cases
is
that
paying?
For?
I
guess
I'm
asking
for
a
little
bit
more
detail
on
the
tenant
assistance.
Part
of
it.
C
E
F
A
lot
of
enough
folks
have
gotten
eviction,
notices
and
other
things
in
district
7
that
we
were
able
to
afford
them
to
the
housing
department
and
you
guys
were
able
to
follow
up
and
really
keep
people
in
their
homes
essentially,
but
some
of
the
other
things
I'm
hearing
are
not
necessarily
pandemic
based
specifically,
and
so
I'm
just
I'm
wondering,
is
the
need
that
great
or
how
are
we
yeah?
If
you
could
provide
that
level
of
detail?
That
would.
D
Yes,
just
to
follow
up
on
that
reagan,
because
you
made
a
good
point:
we
invested
over
a
million
dollars
in
those
legal
services.
Isn't
that
correct,
which
was
a
significant
increase
in
legal
services
and
the
housing
department
is
also
planning
you
know
what
does
it
look
like
after
when
that
cliff
happens,
and
we
are
trying
to
make
plans
regarding
how
could
we
imagine
serving
a
significant
number
of
tenants
if
and
when
they
were
to
receive
large
eviction
notices?
F
Okay,
yeah,
that's
a
big
concern
and-
and
I
don't
know
that
they
have
capacity-
I
mean
do
they.
You
know
these
are
all
I
mean.
That's
the
level,
I
think
of
detail
that
we
need
to
ask,
because
I
know
I've
done
this
during
the
pandemic,
where
I'm
like
sure,
if
we
just
give
them
money,
I'm
sure
they'll
be
able
to
do
it
and
that's
really
not
the
case.
F
F
They
have
really
made
substantial
changes
and
positive
changes
at
valley
palms
and
have
indicated
a
willingness
to
to
make
improvements
at
their
other
properties,
which
is
great
to
hear,
but
but
there
are
still
a
significant
number
of
code
issues
in
these
neighborhoods.
How
are
we?
How
is
this
plan
incorporating
those
concerns?
How
are
we
able?
How
are
we
going
to
be
able
to
meet
that
need.
E
Yeah
so
first
we're
trying
to
coordinate
very
closely
with
planning,
building
and
code
enforcement,
so
we're
so
they
are
able
to
tell
us
what
they
need
and
tell
us
what
you
can
spend
in
the
coming
year
and
then,
as
I
mentioned,
it,
we're
really
trying
to
pair
the
enhanced
code
enforcement
with
other
programs
and
resources
that
the
city
is
doing
so
project.
Hope,
for
example,
can
we
add
that
additional
enhanced
code
enforcement
services,
so
the
areas
that
you
mentioned,
I
think,
is
something
are
areas
where
we
would
want
to.
D
You
cannot
use
cdbg
for
just
regular
day-to-day
code
enforcement
activity,
because
that
is
seen
as
part
of
the
city
of
san
jose's
responsibility,
and
so
all
the
code
enforcement
has
to
be
tied
to
some
initiative
and
that
the
you
know
we
have
tried
to
tie
them
to
the
like
project,
hope
and
we've
done.
Gang
prevention
task
force
high
crime
areas,
but
those
are
the
opportunities
where
we
can
increase
code
when
the
city
is
actually
taking
an
action
and
it's
more
comprehensive.
F
K
K
I
would
dare
to
say
that,
but
you
know
I
don't
put
words
in
your
mouth
and,
and
I
think
that,
while
just
holding
everything
up,
you
also
manage
to
bring
in
new
elements,
and
so
I
I'm
just
really
grateful
for
that
and
and
for
the
work
that
you're
doing
specifically
I'm
going
to
talk
about
families.
As
you
know,
reagan.
K
I
know
that
you're
you're
pretty
much
staying
on
track
in
terms
of
doing
what
you
did
last
year,
not
not
having
any
real
new
movement,
because
there's
just
there's
no
capacity
for
new
movement,
and
I
want
I
want
our
city
manager
to
hear
that
you,
this
housing
department
has
grown
exponentially.
Since
I
first
started,
you
were
all
focusing
on
development,
a
little
bit
more
than
services
and
now
you're
focusing
equally,
I
feel
on
services,
and
you
get
your
department.
K
K
I
know
this
is
not
a
a
budget
hearing,
but
this
is
all
about
money,
and
this
is
about
providing
the
resources
for
our
departments
to
continue
the
good
work
that
they're
doing
especially
around
families,
because
the
work
that
you're
all
doing
in
mckinney-vento
and
and
identifying
some
of
those
service
gaps.
I
I'm
just
hoping
that
you
can
tell
me
how
do
those
connect
with
some
of
the
programs
that
are
listed
here
so
say,
for
example,
are
we
taking
any
of
the
home
first
or
homeless?
Outreach
and
engagement
citywide
are?
K
E
Sure
good
question,
so
we
have,
as
you
said,
but
we've
been
having
regular
meetings
with
the
santa
clara
county
office
of
education,
and
one
of
the
new
things
that
we
are
funding
that
are
is
a
result
of
those
conversations.
Is
the
wi-fi
networks
so
just
hearing
from
them?
How
critical
it
has
been
over
the
past
12
plus
months
to
have
families
connected
to
reliable
internet.
E
So
that's
one
of
the
new
things
that
we've
funded
and
then
not
in
this
plan,
but
in
one
of
our
amendments,
we've
amended
last
year's
plan
like
three
times
to
to
add
more
covid
related
funding.
But
one
of
the
things
that
we
are
funding
is
our
motel
voucher
program
for
families.
That
has
really
been
something
that's
important
to
the
county
office
of
education
as
a
as
a
place
to
to
catch
families
that
are
couch
surfing
or
living
in
their
car
and
then
further
building
upon
that.
We've
also
started
weekly.
E
Weekly
calls
with
our
network
of
family
service
providers
and
our
mckinney-vento
reps
are
on
those
calls
so
that
we're
actually
coordinating
on
referrals
amongst
programs
so,
whether
it's
our
motel
voucher
program,
our
emergency
shelters,
even
our
our
new
evans
lane
emergency
interim
housing
site,
that's
opening
we're.
It's
really
been
great
to
see
that
kind
of
deeper
coordination
on
a
regular
basis.
K
This
is
great
work.
I
I
I
knew
that
there
was
a
more
of
a
focus
on
the
motel
voucher,
since
we
that
you
know
safe
parking
was
just
not
something
well,
something
that
was
feasible
for
some
of
our
families,
although
it's
still
being
done
through,
I
think,
through
the
county
or
through
other
funding,
for
safe
parking
at
churches,
and
there
are,
there
continue
to
be
families,
and
so
I
I
you
know,
there's
still
that
need,
unfortunately,
and
so
I
just
thank
you
for
continuing
to
look
at
those
gaps
and
services.
K
Reagan
is
especially
from
some
of
our
most
impacted
schools.
Is
that
a
lot
of
our
children,
one
you
know-
have
left
the
area
but
two
that
there's
not
a
lot
of
registration
for
preschool
and
and
kinder,
and
all
of
that
and
you
know,
and
I
just
wonder
a
lot
of
the
times.
What
happens
is
that
you
know
kinder
is
three
hours
long
and
so
there's
not
a
lot
of
families
who
can
afford
to
take
the
lunch
hour
off.
You
know:
go
go
to
the
school
pick
up.
K
The
kiddo
then
take
it
to
the
child
care
and,
unfortunately,
they're
left
to
some
informal
care
and
they're
missing
on
out
on
this
early
education,
and
so
I
hope
that
that,
because
you're
you're
kind
of
you
know
you're,
you
have
the
your
finger
on
the
pulse
in
terms
of
of
some
of
these
families
that
you
can
also
be
also
generating
some
of
those
referrals
back
to
santa
county
office
of
ed.
In
terms
of
identifying
you
know,
these
kiddos
may
need
a
little
bit
more
support.
K
They
may
need
some
child
care
stipends,
you
know
scoby's
also
taking
what
is
it
four
c's
the
forces,
a
resource
and
referral
responsibility
now,
and
so
you
know,
and
just
making
this
really
comprehensive.
Obviously,
we've
been
supporting
them,
but
I
think
they
can
also
support
us
with
the
folks
that
are
on
our
end
of
the
spectrum
and
saying
what
else
is
there
for
these
families?
What
else
can
you
provide
for
these
families
so
that
they
can
actually
attend
preschool
and
kinder,
as
we
all
know,
are
so
important?
K
Obviously
we
want
to
support
them,
but
they
can
also
support
us
as
well
so
anyways.
I
I
wanted
to
learn
a
little
bit
more
about
how
those
services
stretch
to
our
families
and
I
realize
they're
staying
a
little
static.
I
hope
that
that
soon
enough,
my
my
city
manager
here
will
say
we're
adding
so
many
staff
to
our
housing
department
that
we
will
have
so
many
different
programs
and
services
and
and
and
render
everything
that
we
feel
under
the
sun.
That
is
going
to
make
a
difference
for
our
families.
K
M
K
Well,
listen!
This
is
just
me
asking
and
advocating
for
our
housing
department.
Obviously
I
know
this
is
not
a
budget
discussion,
but
I
don't
know
that
we've
said
this
in
or
I've
said
this
publicly
or
enough
times
that
our
housing
department
has
really
evolved
over
time,
especially
in
the
last
four
years
that
I've
been
around,
and
we
also
need
to
evolve
with
our
funding
and
the
type
of
support
that
we
see
internally
in
our
in
that
particular
department
post
recovery.
K
K
D
D
O
O
I
O
Neighborhood
and
you
want
to
build
all
these
villages,
I
hope
there's
going
to
be
enough
water
for
the
village,
because
the
romans
aren't
coming
to
build
any
more
aqueducts
people.
Those
days
are
over
we're.
You
guys
are
in
a
postmodern
society
that
you
don't
really
know
what
the
what
the
basics
are,
and
it's
a
joke.
O
You're
gonna,
you're
gonna,
build
all
these
things.
How
much
water
is
it
gonna?
Take
any
electricity
to
build
everything?
It's
not
gonna
work.
All
this
light.
Rail
electricity
doesn't
work,
no
one's
on
it.
No
one's
gonna
be
on
it.
No
one
was
on
it
before
covered
you're,
going
to
put
people
on
it.
Now
they
want
to
have
all
these
marijuana
places
for
marijuana.
What's
marijuana?
What's
it
cost
to
grow?
Marijuana
costs
a
lot
of
money
with
water,
electricity.
O
I'm
sure
the
fertilizers
are
wonderful
for
the
environment,
not
you
can't
even
use
sun
to
grow
marijuana.
You
guys
want
to
grow
in
a
grow
house
with
what
electricity
water
you're
not
going
to
have
enough.
You
got
you
guys.
Are
you
guys
are
sophomoric
in
your
thinking?
This
is
a
sophomore
in
college
type
term
paper
that
you
guys
are
trying
to
write
down
there
with
the
urban
planning
and
free
marijuana,
and
all
these
wonderful
things
to
give
away
to
everybody
tax
and
find
somebody
else
give
the
money
to
somebody
else.
N
Hi,
yes,
thank
you.
So
much
sorry
wait
hold
on
my
earbud
came
out.
You
hear
me,
you
can
hear
me
loud
and
clear.
You
hear
me:
okay,
good,
all
right
so
getting
back
to
the
pollution
issue,
because
this
is
a
critical
issue
that
people
don't
realize
that
our
neighborhood,
mostly
white,
is
actually
a
an
area
at
high
risk
for
pollution
and
we're
just
the
beginning
of
it.
And
so
you
know
geographically,
the
east
hills
also
keeping
the
pollution
and
therefore
that's
where
our
you
know:
east
side.
N
Our
lower
income
communities
are
very
highly
impacted
with
pollution,
but
it
starts
here
and
we
are
we're.
I
mean
we're
on
the
other
side
of
the
tracks,
we're
on
the
tracks,
we're
the
diesel
pollution
from
the
trains,
the
diesel
from
the
bus
depots,
the
diesel
from
the
trucks.
So
we
have
a
high
impact
neighborhood
and
when,
when
google
is
giving
13
million
or
whatever
200
million,
you
know
and
it's
supposed
to
be
to
help
the
low-income
communities
or
the
highly
impacted.
Our
neighborhood
is
highly
impacted.
N
You
know
and
that's
the
the
beauty
of
it
is
that
we
can
take
an
undeveloped
lands
that
we
need
to
take
our
undeveloped
lands
and
make
them
into
food
producing
lands,
and
these
are
the
fossil
fuel
free
jobs
that
would
make
it
a
cleaner
neighborhood
for
us
and
that
not
building
the
hotel.
The
hotel
doesn't
help
that
they're
building
an
underground
parking
lot
and
it's
40.
You
know
five
cars,
so
we
need
to
really
reevaluate
everything.
Just.
M
Hi
blair
beekman
here
thanks
for
the
meeting
today,
you
know,
as
I
kind
of
reported
earlier,
I've
been
feeling
a
bit
out
of
sorts
the
past
few
months,
I'm
not
really
quite
my
self
and
thanks
for
your
patience
with
myself.
I
think
I'm
my
words
are
coming
out:
okay
and
I'm
feeling
okay
and
that's
important,
I'm
just
a
bit
out
of
it
and
it
hurts
when
that
happens.
So
thanks
again
for
your
patience
to
apologize
to
council
president
jones,
you
know
I
I
was
trying
to
offer
items
about.
M
You
know
wi-fi
investment
and
how
you
know
to
turn.
You
know
open
public
policy
ideas,
don't
have
to
be
ideas
of
being
an
outlaw.
I
mean
if
you
really
wait
way
and
consider
in
your
neighborhood,
if
it's,
if
it's,
if
you
don't
want
it,
if
you,
if
you
can
really
consider
digital
divide
ideas
and
and
make
decisions
from
there,
I
think
it
can
be
a
process
that
is
inclusive,
and
you
know
hopeful
that
I
I
feel
the
housing
department
needs
understanding
of
so
they
can.
M
You
know
help
people
with
through
the
process
with
48
seconds
left
council
person
uranus
on
the
final
item
tonight.
She
offered
a
bit
of
a
warning
that
you
know
could
be
taken
a
few
ways
and
that
one
of
them,
I
think,
includes
the
idea
is
that
we
have
to
really
consider
foreclosure
issues.
I'm
sorry,
I
didn't
add
that
before
I
hope
you
can
be,
we
all
can
be
considering
the
future
of
foreclosure
issues
and
about
the
future
of
city
charter
issues.
M
My
love
for
community
and
the
city
council
process
to
address
the
future
of
city
manager
issues
is
really
going
to
be
my
focus
and
how
we
focus
strong
mayor
ideas
is
my
hopes
and
feelings,
and
thank
you
for
the
letters
to
the
public
on
the
closed
session
agenda.
Today.
It
was
a
really
interesting
letter
to
learn
from,
I
think
or
letters
to
learn
from.
Thank
you.
