A
A
Great
okay,
well
welcome
everybody
and
a
big
thank
you
to
the
hard-working
team
that
has
been
leading
our
beautiful
isj
efforts,
and
many
of
them
been
doing
a
lot
of
other
things
too.
So,
thanks
to
everyone
for
your
hard
work,
we
know
this
is
a
really
difficult
challenge.
Dave.
Take
it
away
yeah.
Thank
you.
F
Mayor
and
very
much
appreciate
the
time
with
you
all
today
to
talk
about
as
a
really
important
issue,
and
that's
really,
you
know
a
challenge
that
obviously
our
city
has
faced
for
a
long
time,
but
it's
certainly
intensified
here
over
the
past
many
months
and
that's
the
issue
of
trash
and
debris
and
blight
and
conditions
in
our
city
and-
and
certainly
this
issue
is
an
intersecting
issue
with
other
crisis,
and
I
think
today,
we'll
focus
mostly
on
on
the
trash
crisis.
But
the
team
will
provide.
F
F
But
at
the
end
of
the
day,
it's
really
gonna,
you
know
boil
down
to
you-
know
an
organizational
commitment
to
to
doing
this
work
and
certainly
a
commitment
from
all
of
us
in
terms
of
resourcing
the
work
and
prioritizing
the
work
and
being
accountable
to
the
work.
And
it's
certainly
not.
You
know
up
to
one
department.
F
You
know
by
our
teams
out
in
the
field,
our
virtual
teams.
You
know
I
just
want
to
thank
the
entire
team
for
all
their
work.
On
this,
it's
extremely
tough
work.
The
work
can
feel
demoralizing
because
it
feels
like
we're
never
making
the
progress
that
we
want
to
make
and
it
feels
like
we're,
never
meeting
expectations
and
that
can
be
a
really
tough
environment
to
work
in,
but
the
team's
not
giving
up.
I
can
guarantee
you
that-
and
I
also
want
to
personally
thank
jim
ortball
for
for
leading
this
effort.
F
Many
of
you
know
that
jim
and
I
are
plus
30
years
with
the
city,
and
we
go
way
back
and
I
think
he's
brought
the
needed
intensity
to
this
work
in
leadership
and
management
in
organizational
skills,
to
really
work
with
the
team
and
and
lay
out
a
plan
for
us
to
move
forward.
So
once
again,
thanks
to
the
entire
team,
thanks
jim,
and
if
you
can
lead
us
through
the
presentation
today,.
B
Yeah,
thank
you
dave
very
much
so
good
morning,
mayor
members
of
the
council,
jim
ortbald,
deputy
city
manager
and
eoc
operations
coordinator
joining
me
this
morning
for
our
presentation
on
beautify,
sj
response,
our
neil
rofino,
the
assistant
director
of
prns
and
the
eoc
co-branch
director,
rick,
scott
deputy

and
the
co-branch

as
well.
Sarah

the
city
manager
and

and
olympia

beautify,
sj
program
manager
and
the
branch
operations
director.
B
You
can
tell
all
these
people
have
kind
of
two
jobs
as
we're
we've
been
working
throughout
the
year,
but
we're
here
this
morning
to
take
a
fairly
deep
dive
into
the
city's
emergency
response
to
a
series
of
intersecting
crises.
You
can
see
them
on
the
on
the
slide
there
trash
and
blight
homelessness
and
the
pandemic
trash
and
blight
and
homelessness
existed
before
the
pandemic
have
been
exacerbated
by
the
pandemic
and
they'll
exist
after
the
pandemic.
B
If
we
continue
our
current
efforts
to
be
systematic,
disciplined
and
invest
adequately
now
and
in
the
future
on
the
right
systems,
services
and
people
equally
or
more
important,
we
have
a
community
plan
to
end
homelessness
that
the
council
has
endorsed
and
that
must
be
implemented
with
the
same
focus
and
adequate
investment,
but
also
in
a
very
compassionate
way,
if
we're
to
house
and
shelter
our
most
vulnerable
with
dignity
and
slow,
the
resulting
flow
of
uncontrolled
trash
being
generated
in
encampments
in
our
city.
Next
slide,
please!
B
So
in
terms
of
our
agenda.
For
this
morning,
we
have
a
robust
70
slide
power
point
that
we
expect
to
deliver
in
about
an
hour
and
15
minutes.
So
we
beg
your
indulgence
and
patience
here,
but
we're
going
to
leave
the
remaining
hour
and
45
minutes
for
city
council
questions
and
comment
and
guidance
on
our
strategies,
and
then
public
comment
as
well.
B
B
We
will
also
outline
other
beautify
sj
services
and
the
ramped
up
coordination
efforts
with
numerous
other
agencies
that
own
land
in
san
jose
like
caltrans
and
the
union,
pacific,
railroad
and
then
we'll
conclude
section
three.
With
the
lessons
learned
and
program
insights,
which
we
have
many
section,
four
about
nine
slides
will
wrap
it
up.
We'll
recap:
our
plan,
that's
underway,
to
fully
reassess
the
previously
existing
beautify
sj
program
elements
and
lay
out
our
updated
vision
and
mission
for
the
program
going
forward.
B
B
So
the
beautify
sj
program
has
grown
over
the
years
and
it's
become
a
lot
of
things
to
a
lot
of
people,
both
in
our
community
and
in
our
city
organization,
from
murals
and
anti-graffiti
to
enhanced
median
islands
to
trail
creek
and
encampment
cleanups,
taking
inventory,
assessing
what
works
and
what's
less
effective
and
what
should
be
consolidated
into
prns
or
elsewhere
in
the
city
organization
is
a
necessary
part
of
this
overall
effort.
It
is
underway
and
will
be
an
important
part
of
the
2021
beautify
sj
roadmap.
B
Clogged
19
was
not
the
only
challenge
in
2020
we've
had
unprecedented
protest,
social
unrest,
damage
to
public
property
and
wildfire
response
and
poor
air
quality.
They
also
made
beautify
sj
work
more
challenging
and
created
higher
workload.
Demands
for
our
team
focus
was
also
heightened
on
other
agencies
and
the
condition
of
their
properties
and
the
branch
launched
an
initiative
to
better
collaborate
and
improve
conditions
on
non-city
public
properties,
which
we'll
share
more
with
you
later.
G
Rapid's
focus
on
illegal
dumping
over
the
years
shows
growth
in
both
tons
collected
and
the
amount
of
self-discoveries
or
proactive
pickups
conducted
by
staff.
That
progress
was
stymied
in
the
beginning
of
2019-20
as
the
pandemic
shut
down
many
city
services,
but
with
the
reactivation
of
the
rapid
team
within
the
beautified
branch
service
levels,
are
continuing
to
increase.
G
G
G
This
pandemic
initially
halted
the
effort,
but
with
the
issues
and
needs
visually
growing
before
us.
It
provides
us
the
opportunity
to
pivot
and
establish
this
beautify
branch
as
part
of
the
eoc
and
move
us
to
take
care
of
the
issues
today
and
plan
for
a
2021
road
map
that
systemizes
these
work
streams.
B
B
In
august,
the
city
council
endorsed
the
county-wide
community
plan
to
end
homelessness,
a
robust
and
compassionate
response
to
a
challenge
that
has
plagued
our
most
vulnerable
residents
and
the
community.
For
many
years,
the
work
of
three
eoc
branches,
beautify,
sj
response,
homeless
support
and
services
and
emergency
housing
were
developed
to
address
the
conditions
during
the
pandemic,
but
as
a
clear
parallel
benefit.
B
So
as
part
of
that
public
health
strategy,
the
city
has
offered
other
hygiene
services
and
encampments,
and
around
encampments
and
the
new
entrance.
The
new
encampment
trash
program
and
I'll
turn
it
over
to
rick
to
dive
into
the
branch
goals
and
the
process
of
building
and
deploying
service
model.
1.0.
H
H
As
you
can
see
here,
the
first
two
immediate
goals
were
to
increase
emergency
trash
pickup
and
develop
systematic
waste
disposal
for
san
jose
encampment
residents.
We
will
be
calling
this
service
model
1.0
and
our
second
goal
to
ensure
the
continuity
of
existing
beautify,
sj
initiatives
and
programs
mentioned
earlier
in
the
presentation.
H
This
slide
provides
a
high-level
timeline
of
operations
beginning
in
mid-march,
when
the
shelter
in
place
order
went
into
effect
the
table
at
the
top
breaks
down
our
branch
life
cycle
into
four
phases,
which
align
with
the
monthly
timeline
down
there
below
on
the
timeline
below
the
yellow
text
and
dates
mark
important
milestones
in
the
development,
design
and
delivery
of
service
model.
1.0,
the
blue
text
below
the
timeline
aligns
with
key
milestones
in
the
other
beautify,
sj
or
related
and
aligned
programs
with
respect
to
service
model
1.0.
H
When
the
sip
went
into
effect,
the
beautify
sj
staff
quickly
adapted
to
perform
trash
bag
drop
off
and
pick
up
at
approximately
60
sites
throughout
the
city.
As
the
pandemic
progressed
and
conditions
continued
to
worsen,
the
eoc
activated
our
branch
in
mid-june
to
broaden
and
expand
the
resources
and
staff
devoted
to
this
challenge.
As
the
branch
coalesced
and
began
working
together,
we
quickly
assessed
homeless,
encampments,
citywide
and
developed
a
tiered
service
model,
which
I
will
touch
on
later.
H
H
I
want
to
point
out
that
you
will
recognize
many
of
the
slides
and
concepts
that
follow,
but
it
is
really
important
for
us
to
briefly
revisit
these
to
understand
the
breadth
and
depth
of
effort
and
how
that
informs
our
way
ahead.
As
we
marshaled
our
team
and
unified
our
efforts,
it
became
immediately
clear
that
any
response
to
these
long-standing
challenges,
which
had
been
exacerbated
by
kovid,
were
hampered
by
systems
that
were
complaint,
driven
insufficiently
staffed
in
resources
and
with
disparate
data
sets
and
data
systems
that
were
not
integrated.
H
This
slide
highlights
one
of
our
first
and
most
fundamental
planning
challenges.
Where
should
encampment
trash
services
be
delivered?
The
answer
to
this
question
was
complicated
by
the
fact
that
illegal
dumping
and
encampment
trash
issues
needed
to
be
scoped
are
intersectional
but
distinct
are
widespread
and
are
so
vast
that
service
gaps
inevitably
led
to
poorer
conditions
throughout
the
entire
city.
H
The
photo
here
on
the
left
shows
how
much
more
complicated,
providing
regular
trash
services
to
a
homeless
encampment
can
be,
requiring
substantial
staff
time
and
hand
work,
as
well
as
renaissance
interactions
and
cooperation
to
ensure
good
conditions.
Further
challenge
is
aligning
expectations
with
results
with
abatements
performed
only
in
certain
limited
instances.
The
objective
of
our
service
is
to
help
facilitate
cleaner
and
more
sanitary
conditions
for
our
unsheltered
and
sheltered
residents
alike,
and
minimize
the
displacement
and
movement
of
people
during
covid.
H
H
As
we
discussed
in
september
you'll
recall
our
team
analyzed
and
combined
these
all
these
disparate
data
sets
to
create
hotspot
maps
showing
where
the
issues
intersected
with
the
support
of
our
public
works
partners
in
dot
gis
and
data
analysts
were
able
to
craft
83
routes
to
be
field
assessed
by
redeployed
city
staff
to
determine
with
both
photos
and
nodes,
the
actual
conditions
in
the
field.
Over
a
period
of
four
weeks,
these
employees
were
able
to
assess
and
document
conditions
along
all
of
these
routes
and
approximately
200
miles
of
city
200,
miles
of
city
streets.
H
H
Our
focused
efforts
to
understand
the
scale
and
scope
of
these
challenges
really
helped
us
craft
guiding
principles
for
our
work.
By
ensuring
that
we
target
the
locations
where
services
needed
most
the
right
locations,
we
will
achieve
an
equitable
outcome
where
services
are
properly
aligned
with
needs
and
not
necessarily
where
complaints
are
most
prominent
or
powerful.
By
determining
the
right
service
or
level
of
service,
be
it
low,
medium
or
high
touch.
We
will
achieve
an
effective
outcome
where
conditions
have
improved
for
all
san
jose
residents
and
by
term
determining
and
delivering
the
right
frequency
of
service.
H
We
will
maximize
the
efficiency
of
this
program
which,
when
combined
all
lead
to
a
clean
you've,
also
seen
this
slide
before,
which
represents
our
service
model.
In
practice,
you'll
recall:
we've
broken
the
homeless
encampment
trash
program
into
three
general
tiers
of
service,
starting
from
the
top
tier
one
represents
sites
that
generally
require
lower
levels
of
service
to
maintain
good
conditions
and
are
less
complicated
when
compared
with
other
sites.
H
San
jose
conservation
corps
provides
services
to
these
routes,
which
are
more
expensive
than
tier
one,
but
less
costly
than
tier
three,
and
this
has
largely
been
effective
so
far.
Tier
three
sites
and
routes
require
the
highest
level
of
service
because
they
have
generally
more
complicated
and
more
people
than
sites
and
routes.
One
and
two
listed
above
these
sites
often
require
higher
engagement
with
residents
and
more
dedicated
time
to
provide
the
cleanup
services.
For
that
reason,
they're
the
most
expensive
of
our
three
tiers.
H
You
see
the
feedback
loop
on
the
left
presented,
contemplates
the
possibility
of
sites
improving
to
the
point
where
they
may
move
up
a
service
tier
and
require
less
costly
and
involved
services.
But
we
are
too
early
in
the
operational
phase
of
this
model.
To
conclude
whether
we
can
expect
to
see
significant
shifts
like
this.
H
The
newly
developed
dashboard
here
represents
a
collaborative
and
intensive
effort
of
our
branch
with
partners
in
public
works
and
dot.
The
objective
is
to
provide
management
staff
with
the
appropriate
tools
to
monitor
performance
information,
view,
photos
and
service
dates
and
make
necessary
corrections
when
issues
arise.
I
will
briefly
pass
this
over
to
cerro
zarate,
our
planning
chief,
to
provide
a
demonstration
and
walk
through
this
platform.
Sarah.
I
Thank
you
rick
good
morning,
mayor
council,
members
and
members
of
the
public
I'll
be
walking
you
through
the
system,
that's
in
its
development
phase
and
helps
support
our
understanding
of
where
encampments
are
located,
their
conditions
and
the
services
that
they're
being
provided
at
the
center
of
this
dashboard.
We
have
a
more
sophisticated
version
of
the
map
we
previewed
for
all
of
you
back
in
october.
I
I
I
To
the
right,
I
can
see
how
many
trash
surveys
or
encampment
assessments
have
been
conducted
during
that
period
of
time.
You'll
notice
that
if
I
click
on
on
these
arrows,
I
can
go
back
and
forth
through
through
different
information
below
it.
I
have
information
specific
to
what's
contained
within
the
icons
above,
for
example,
yesterday
the
teams
were
at
mayberry
road
near
berryessa
and
commercial.
I
The
same
information
can
be
seen
for
the
encampment
assessments,
which
we
use
to
verify
new
encampments
or
encampments
that
have
become
inactive
to
the
left
of
the
map
and
along
the
bottom.
I
have
a
lot
of
information
related
to
hazards,
for
example
along
the
bottom.
We
have
right-of-way
issues
that
have
been
verified.
I
I
I
H
Thank
you,
sarah,
and
I
want
to
reemphasize
sarah's
points.
You
saw
those
earlier
slides
with
the
six
disparate
data
sets
and
dots
all
over
the
city.
This
represented
a
substantial
effort
of
in-house
staff
in
a
very
short
period
of
time
to
develop
and
deliver
this
dashboard
as
a
very
useful
tool
for
our
field
staff.
H
So
thank
you.
Sarah
back
to
back
on
slide
19.
I
showed
a
high
level
timeline
with
our
operational
phases
bringing
us
to
today.
You
can
see
here.
The
second
column
of
phase
two
represents
the
standing
up
of
this
eoc
branch
in
june,
and
you
can
follow
along
with
the
general
actions
we
took
in
late
july.
Early
august,
we
transitioned
to
phase
three
of
our
operations,
which
were
the
initial
stage
of
service
model.
H
Our
tier
three
vendors
have
been
deployed
since
october
26th
working
throughout
the
city,
as
we
continue
to
deliver
document,
learn
and
modify
our
services
as
needed
as
we
transition
from
the
activation
of
this
branch
to
the
initial
services
provided
under
model
1.0.
One
of
the
first
things
we
did
was
establish:
grant
agreements
with
non-profit
partners
to
manage
services
along
the
48
tier
1
and
2
routes,
crafted
with
a
mixture
of
data
field,
observations
and
our
staff
knowledge
and
experience.
H
This
excuse
me,
this
slide
shows
our
tier
one
rounds
in
action.
The
collection
and
consolidation
of
bags
at
the
site
makes
for
more
efficient
and
timely
service
by
the
providers,
who
then
only
need
to
load
and
remove
the
bags,
but
our
vendors
and
staff
do
have
to
provide
cleanup
services,
as
indicated
on
the
photos
to
the
left.
Nevertheless,
as
we
will
discuss
later,
we
believe
that
a
tiered
service
model
that
attempts
to
align
vendor
capabilities
with
realities
in
the
field
holds
a
lot
of
promise.
H
H
So
before
we
move
ahead,
we'll
be
talking
a
lot
about
tonnage
and
trash
today
and
it's
fair
to
wonder
what
does
an
actual
ton
of
trash
signify.
Well,
a
ton
of
trash
is
equivalent
to
one
small
car,
specifically
a
1979
vw
beetle.
Every
time
we
say
a
ton
of
trash,
keep
this
in
mind
we'll
be
coming
back
to
it.
H
As
we
rolled
out
tiers,
1
and
2.
We
also
rapidly
deployed
five
dumpsters
at
larger
encampments.
We
quickly
determined
that
these
were
utilized,
cost
effective
and
easy
to
service.
So
we
deployed
a
total
of
24
dumpsters
at
13
locations
throughout
the
city.
Most
are
serviced
two
to
three
times
per
week
and
we
estimate
that
they
have
resulted
in
the
collection
of
over
375
tons
of
trash,
but
never
had
the
opportunity
to
get
in
our
streets.
H
We
also
piloted
a
mobile
trash
service
meant
for
sites
where
dumpster
deployment
was
not
possible,
but
encampments
and
trash
services
are
necessary.
We
leveraged
a
provision
in
an
existing
city,
waste
hauling
agreement
with
green
team
to
provide
services
to
23
sites
throughout
the
city
performed
by
two
crews
every
saturday.
H
So
as
we
rolled
out
services
in
our
initial
phase
of
operations,
we
generally
established
the
right
locations
which
resulted
in
our
three-tiered
model.
Our
most
significant
operational
challenge
yet
was
how
to
tackle
the
largest
and
most
complicated
sites,
always
keeping
in
mind
that
our
objective
is
to
provide
services
to
and
for
people.
What
you
see
on
the
upper
right
photo
was
the
result
of
a
collaboration
with
the
planning
and
operational
branches
of
our
team
and
using
existing
data
field
conditions
and
expected
work
required
to
provide
satisfactory
service.
H
The
three
geographic
zones
you
see
in
that
in
that
photo
reflect
an
effort
to
equitably
assign
services
and
frequencies
to
ensure
good
outcomes
throughout
the
city.
These
efforts
are
still
very
much
in
development
mode,
but
the
principles
of
right,
but
the
principles
of
right,
location,
right,
service,
right
frequency,
leading
to
equitable,
effective
and
efficient
outcomes,
very
much
guide
our
work
and
will
continue
to
do
so.
H
As
a
result
of
these
joint
efforts,
our
full
service
model,
1.0
rolled
out
on
october
26th
since
october
26th,
our
teams
and
vendors,
have
performed
over
300
cleanups
and
trash
pickups
and
counting
collected
200
vw
beetles.
I
mean
trash
tons
of
trash
and
endeavor
to
meet
our
preliminary
performance
target
of
service
provided
every
two
weeks.
H
This
slide
shows
the
spectrum
of
tier
three
service
cleanups,
whereas
a
site
on
the
left
required
far
less
substantial
work
than
the
site
on
the
right.
The
end
result
for
both
is
the
same:
a
dramatically
cleaner
site.
These
photos
and
service
dates
were
pulled
directly
from
the
dashboard
sarah
shoulde
and
are
a
result
of
the
diligent
documentation
of
our
existing
and
redeployed
field
staff
who
enter
this
data
and
all
these
photos
on
tablets
or
smartphones
in
the
field
and
update
our
dashboard
in
real
time.
H
Here
we
see
two
more
frequent
flyer
and
identifiable
sites
with
data
pulled
from
our
dashboard.
The
site
on
the
left
is
donelane,
a
tier
three
site
that
requires
frequent
servicing
the
site
on
the
right
was
an
effort
coordinated
with
caltrans
and
we'll
discuss
the
disposition
of
our
agreements
and
collaborative
efforts
with
other
agencies.
Later
in
the
presentation
with
that
and
with
great
gratitude
to
the
leadership
and
staff
who
supported
these
efforts,
I
will
pass
the
presentation
on
to
sarah
zarate,
our
branch
planning
chief
to
discuss
our
encampment
protocols
and
implementations.
H
I
Providing
trash
service
to
our
unsheltered
population
doesn't
follow
the
same
linear
process
that
we
experience
in
our
homes.
There
are
many
challenges
associated
with
serving
this
population.
The
term
homeless
has
the
effect
of
homogenizing
a
very
diverse
group.
Although
providing
these
residents
trash
services
may
actually
require
very
different
tools
and
tactics
depending
on
the
encampment.
I
What
we've
experienced
is
that
our
engagement
strategy
requires
a
continuum
including
cooperative
strategies
and
supports
and
increasing
interventions
depending
on
encampment
conditions,
which
may,
in
exceptional
circumstances,
lead
to
encampment
abatements
since
july.
Our
branch
has
developed
protocols
for
our
program
management
and
field
staff
to
better
understand
the
parameters
under
which
they're
working,
and
especially
to
clarify
some
of
the
ambiguities
pertaining
to
this
balance
between
supporting
public
health
at
the
population
level
and
maintaining
the
safety
of
communities
at
a
very
local
level.
I
Our
existing
manual
consists
of
three
protocols
and
will
continue
to
evolve
as
needed.
Importantly,
they're
all
grounded
in
our
public
health
approach,
meaning
we
foreground
our
actions
with
the
understanding
that
we're
working
with
a
vulnerable
population
that,
on
average,
already
has
poor
health
outcomes
and
that
contracting
covid
could
result
in
severe
illness.
I
Our
goal
is
to
reach
our
unintent
our
intended
outcomes
collaboratively
and
voluntarily.
One
protocol
creates
exceptions
to
abatement
suspensions
in
the
public
right-of-way.
It
outlines
what
is
considered
the
public
right-of-way
and
the
actions
that
the
city
will
take
to
mitigate
any
public
safety
hazards.
I
Lastly,
the
escalated
cleanup
protocol
recognizes
that,
despite
repeated
attempts
to
gain
voluntary
cooperation,
there
are
residents
refusing
to
dispose
of
trash
and,
in
some
instances
claim
what
is
objectively
trash
as
personal
property.
To
avoid
cleanup,
this
protocol
provides
a
clear
process
to
remove
the
trash,
but
allow
encampment
residents
to
remain
sheltering
in
place.
I
Since
late
july,
we've
confirmed
about
130
right-of-way
impediments.
Many
are
repeat
issues
about.
Half
of
these
have
required
abatement
posting
to
clear
the
hazard
importantly,
while
this
protocol
provides
field
crews
with
the
tools
needed
to
address
the
immediate
hazard,
the
root
cause
issue
related
to
unsheltered
homelessness
and,
in
some
instances,
behavioral
health
issues
go
unresolved.
I
Despite
many
outreach
attempts,
this
means
the
problem
is
generally
moved
down
the
road
to
be
addressed
through
escalated
measures
another
day,
I'll
show
an
example
of
this
on
the
next
slide,
as
described
in
the
november
info
memo,
we're
piloting
the
multi-disciplinary
team
at
five
encampment
sites.
Our
housing
department
is
helping
coordinate
many
departments
and
agencies.
I
I
Lastly,
we
conducted
over
30
escalated
cleanups
and
will
continue
to
deploy
this
resource
as
needed
to
reduce
trash
at
uncooperative
sites.
The
picture
on
the
right
shows
our
new
escalated
cleanup
posting,
it's
translated
in
three
languages
and
attempts
to
communicate
the
conditions
we're
trying
to
achieve
through
a
more
visual
approach.
I
J
Thank
you.
Sarah.
While
the
anti-litter
program
and
activities
were
suspended
during
the
shelter
in
place,
the
anti-graffiti
program
services
continued
to
operate.
One
of
the
most
notable
incidents
or
activities
that
we
completed
was
invading
over
96
000
square
feet
of
graffiti
on
both
public
and
private
property.
J
During
the
civil
unrest
downtown
in
late
may,
when
the
anti-litter
program
was
initially
suspended,
the
staff
transitioned
to
providing
trash
services
and
encampments
once
the
program
was
able
to
secure
additional
staffing
and
vendor
support,
the
teams
were
able
to
refocus
efforts
on
core
anti-litter
programs
working
initially
started
with
our
creek
cleanup
partner,
south
bay,
clean
creeks
coalition,
and
keep
coyote
creek
beautiful.
Those
programs
restarted
in
october,
20
2020
volunteers
were
able
to
remove
over
46
tons
of
trash.
J
Also,
our
neighborhood
dumpster
day
program
was
able
to
restart.
We
escalated
cleanups
quickly,
working
nearly
every
friday,
saturday
and
sunday
to
do
dumpster
day
events
collecting
over
405
tons
of
debris.
Our
neighborhood
volunteer
program
has
recently
restarted
as
well.
Neighborhood
and
business
associations
have
started
to
coordinate
and
collaborate
litter
events
throughout
the
city
next
slide,
please
one
of
our
new
one
of
our
new
litter
programs
that
I
would
like
to
highlight
is
cash
for
trash.
J
J
The
program
works
by
providing
a
four
dollar
redemption
value
for
a
bag
of
trash
that
residents
collect
at
their
encamped
location
residents
can
submit
up
to
five
bags
of
trash
for
a
maximum
of
twenty
dollars.
Mastercard
is
a
critical
partner
in
this
program.
They
provide
a
reloadable
mastercard
that
program
participants
receive
ensuring
that
funds
are
immediately
available
for
use
by
partnering
with
mastercard.
We
are
also
able
to
provide
access
to
banking
services
for
our
unhoused
population.
J
The
initial
pilot
program,
the
initial
phase
of
this
program,
will
enroll
400
participants
at
41
locations
throughout
the
city.
Currently,
we
have
over
69
participants
enrolled
and
they've
collected
a
little
over
10
tons
of
trash
during
the
covet
19
response,
the
rapid
team
was
activated
under
the
eoc
beautify
sj
program
to
better
leverage
program,
resources,
suggest
trash
and
dumping
throughout
the
city.
J
There
has
been
a
substantial
increase,
the
amount
of
dumping
that
has
occurred
in
the
city
over
the
past
six
months,
which
all
of
us
have
witnessed.
This
increase
in
dumping,
is
consistent
with
the
experiences
of
other
cities
in
the
bay
area,
specifically
oakland
and
san
francisco,
and
in
the
state
as
a
whole.
J
In
october,
the
green
team
began
supporting
our
rapid
team
by
picking
up
illegal
dumping
in
areas
most
impacted
in
an
effort
to
prevent
those
items
from
entering
encampment
locations.
This
additional
help
has
allowed
rapid
to
increase
their
proactive,
illegal
dumping
pickups,
especially
in
those
areas.
Most
impacted
by
dumping
throughout
the
city.
J
Another
area
where
the
city
has
had
challenges
is
in
addressing
blight
on
other
jurisdictions
properties.
This
includes
trash
illegal
dumping,
graffiti
and
encampments,
oftentimes
other
jurisdictions,
repo
response
times
and
timelines
to
address
these
bike
issues
do
not
align
with
those
of
our
city
to
address
this.
The
city
began
proactively
working
with
those
agencies
that
have
large
amounts
of
property
within
the
city
of
san
jose,
but
which
the
city
has
no
jurisdiction
over
the
union,
pacific
railroad,
we
know,
has
been
an
area
that
we've
had
a
challenge
with
for
quite
some
time.
J
The
city
has
currently
started,
conducting
several
workshops
with
our
partners
in
caltrans
and
an
effort
to
better
understand
their
processes
to
address
blight
on
their
property.
The
goal
is
to
develop
a
partnership
agreement
to
better
coordinate
and
leverage
resources
to
address
blight
issues
that
impact
both
of
our
organizations.
J
While
we
are
in
the
process
of
developing
a
partnership
agreement,
the
work
does
continue.
Caltrans
in
the
city
have
coordinated
several
cleanups,
including
one
at
85
and
almaden,
one
at
meridian
and
on
the
on-ramps
and
off-ramps
at
story.
Road
in
101,
the
city
currently
does
have
an
moa
with
our
partner
valley
water.
However,
this
moa
focuses
on
encampment
abatement
activities.
We
are
currently
in
the
process
of
finalizing
a
side
letter
and
an
effort
to
better
respond
to
clean
up
efforts
during
covet
19..
J
J
The
city
has
been
working
with
union
pacific
railroad
for
about
18
months
to
develop
an
mou
that
would
achieve
the
goals
of
both
agencies.
During
this
process,
the
city
and
union
pacific
has
coordinated
several
cleanup
activities
along
the
rail
line
and
other
union
pacific
properties.
Specifically
we've
conducted
about
four
cleanups
since
april.
J
In
the
mou,
though,
there
are
several
areas
that
we
would
like
to
highlight,
we
will
be
conducting
at
least
eight
joint
cleanups
per
calendar
year
develop
a
quarterly
cleanup
coordination
plan,
ensure
that
our
city
outreach
workers
have
access
to
engage
and
work
with
people
who
are
residing
in
encampments
along
rail
property
and
union.
Pacific
has
agreed
to
install
and
maintain
no
trespassing
and
no
dumping
signs
on
their
property.
J
One
coordinated
cleanup
that
I
would
like
to
highlight
is
what
the
staff
has
dubbed
the
mad
max
cleanup
that
occurred
at
monterey:
a
model
road
in
bayley,
the
city
and
union,
pacific
railroad,
working
in
coordination
and
collaborating
removed
over
400
tons
and
trash
and
debris
from
this
dump
site
in
south
san
jose.
There
were
22
abandoned
vehicles
that
needed
to
remove,
including
two
that
we
were
able
to
return
to
their
owners,
trees
and
vegetation
was
maintained
so
that
we
get
a
better
line
of
sight
in
the
effort
to
reduce
additional
and
future
dumping.
J
As
a
reminder,
encampments
can
only
be
removed
from
areas
of
caltrans
property
if
they
are
approved
via
the
office
of
emergency
services.
In
the
governor's
office,
only
those
encampments
posing
a
safety
hazard
are
abated
and
removed
at
this
time.
This
is
a
cleanup
that
occurred
in
which
city
and
caltrans
staff
work
together
to
remove
over
16
tons
of
debris,
address
eight
abandoned
vehicles,
abandoned
and
inoperable
vehicles
that
were
at
the
site.
It's
important
to
note
that
both
our
outreach
teams,
the
beautify
sj
team
and
caltrans,
visited
the
site
on
a
regular
basis
for
nine
weeks.
J
In
an
effort
to
have
residents
accept
services,
there
were
14
individuals
who
were
encamped
at
the
site.
12
of
the
individuals
did
accept
services.
Two
individuals
currently
remain,
but
I
would
like
to
caution
us
and
remind
people
that
we
do
expect
that
people
will
return
to
this
site.
The
city
will
continue
to
work
with
caltrans
in
an
effort,
though,
to
keep
it
clean.
I
will
now
turn
it
over
to
sarah
to
discuss
what
we
have
learned
about
the
program.
I
I
Perhaps
most
importantly
capacity
matters,
as
was
described
earlier
by
rick.
This
program
became
fully
operational
at
the
end
of
october,
when
we
were
able
to
significantly
scale
the
size
of
our
field
teams
and
vendor
capacity.
This
is
what
we
referred
to
as
phase
four
october.
26
offers
a
clear
point
of
demarcation
in
service
delivery
to
understand
the
impact
we
analyze
a
four
week
period,
just
prior
to
phase
four,
the
yellow
the
light,
yellow
bars
and
compared
it
to
the
four
week
period.
Following
the
added
capacity,
the
green
bars,
the
change
was
significant.
I
Our
trash
collection,
increased
four-fold,
the
number
of
locations
receiving
service
more
than
doubled,
and
the
tons
of
trash
and
debris
collected
increased
over
threefold.
So
finding
number
one
is
that
adding
resources
and
creating
zones
that
allow
staff
and
vendors
to
target
their
attention
results
in
significant
increases
in
services.
I
Our
guiding
framework
for
building
a
program
is
to
identify
the
right
locations
and
provide
residents
living
there.
The
right
service
at
the
right
frequency
those
program
objectives
were
used
for
a
baseline
evaluation
conducted
in
october,
where
we
deployed
field
staff
to
visually,
assess,
encampments
and
rate
them
based
on
six
indicators
in
regard
to
locations,
we
found
that
84
percent
scheduled
for
trash
service
had
encampments
present,
meaning
our
mapping
and
data
system
is
working
in
regard
to
write
service
and
right
frequency.
I
I
I
Lastly,
there's
a
major
assumption
being
made
that
if
you
create
this
type
of
program,
people
will
participate
regardless
of
previous
experiences.
With
city
government,
including
abatement
displacements,
nevertheless,
we
estimate
about
60
percent
of
encampments
are
seemingly
participating,
which
is
a
really
good
starting
point.
These
summary
statistics
offer
a
program
baseline.
I
We've
learned
other
insights
from
our
service
delivery.
For
example,
dumpsters
are
an
effective
tool
for
waste
disposal,
they're,
not
labor
intensive,
they
are
cost
effective
and
we
can
easily
adjust
the
level
of
service
to
meet
the
needs,
and
many
of
the
problems
anticipated
with
the
dumpsters
did
not
generally
materialize.
I
I
I
I
I
I
G
Thank
you
so
much
sarah
for
everything.
So,
in
summary,
this
effort
has
shown
great
promise,
as
you
heard
since
the
spring,
the
dedicated
team
behind
us
has
mapped
and
identified
over
150
plus
sites
across
the
city
for
services,
they've
initiated
over
2
000
trash
collections
and
removed
over
2
200
tons
of
trash
through
this
new
service
system
and
through
our
large
coordinated
cleanups.
G
As
stated
earlier,
one
ton
of
trash
is
roughly
equal
to
a
small
vehicle.
Like
a
volkswagen
beetle,
when
you
look
at
2
200
volkswagen
beetles,
how
can
we
visualize
this
amount
of
trash
till
the
tip
those
cars
would
cover
84
and
one-half
football
field
covering
over
5.75
miles
tip
to
tail
you'd,
see
2
200
cars
on
monterey,
highway
stretching
south
from
keys
to
a
little
past
tuna
with
tip
to
tail.
G
If
someone
organized
a
classic
vw
car
show
you'd
see
2
200
beetles
from
city
hall,
east
on
santa
clara
street
past
peter's,
bakery
up
to
up
to
the
san
jose
country
club
and
about
a
mile
up
mount
hamilton
road
tip
to
tail
on
highway
87
from
the
280
interchange
going
south.
Your
commute
would
be
gridlocked
all
the
way
from
the
to
the
87
and
85
juncture.
G
G
G
G
What
you
see
here
is
the
first
deliverable
of
that
work
with
much
more
to
come
in
the
second
half
of
the
calendar
year,
the
team
will
be
focused
on
implementing
our
vision
and
mission
for
broader
beautify,
san
jose
system.
We
want
san
jose
residents
to
be
engaged
and
proud
of
their
clean
and
beautiful
city.
G
Our
immediate
actions,
going
into
january
through
june
of
2021,
will
be
to
refine
our
staffing
model
in
alignment
with
the
eoc,
evaluate
and
extend
our
service
contracts
for
tiers
one
through
three
to
those
vendors
who
are
providing
us
a
high
level
of
performance
and
package.
Our
learning
into
a
budget
proposal
for
fiscal
year,
21
22..
G
We
will
need
to
maintain
and
grow
the
data,
mapping,
analysis
and
evaluation
efforts
that
we
have
built.
We
need
to
establish
and
commit
to
communication
education
enforcement
because
we
need
changed
behavior.
We
need
to
change
the
behaviors
and
not
just
chase
the
problems
and,
of
course,
we
need
to
continue
with
partnering
and
aligning
human-centered
philosophies
with
city
leaders
like
jackie
and
dragon
and
housing
to
align
our
work
with
their
continued
efforts
to
end
homelessness.
B
Great
thanks
neil,
so
we're
almost
done.
We
just
have
a
few
more
slides
to
wrap
up,
but
on
november
17th
staff
was
presented.
Our
staff
presented
a
high
level
citywide
roadmap
to
the
council
to
identify
priority
work
efforts
for
the
remainder
of
2021
for
the
best
use
of
limited
staff
resources
on
the
slide.
B
B
The
seven
priority
areas
in
the
left
column
identify
the
functional
areas
on
the
beautify
sj
concept
organization.
Chart
that
neil
just
presented
a
few
slides
back.
The
projects
identified
within
the
priority
areas
represent
essential
work
that
needs
to
be
completed
to
ultimately
achieve
the
goals
in
the
branch
of
an
equitable,
effective
and
efficient
program.
B
So
the
topic
of
moving
from
measuring
outputs,
like
the
number
of
tons,
picked
up
or
graffiti
cleaned
or
service,
request,
completed
or
volunteer
hours
to
measuring
performance
outcomes.
A
clean
city
is
such
an
important
part
of
ultimately
achieving
program
success
that
it
deserves
a
slide
of
its
own.
B
We
recognize
this
is
a
first
yet
necessary
step
towards
outcome
because
to
measure
outcomes
alone,
visually
clean
conditions
does
not
provide
enough
work
process
and
production
information
to
determine
if
the
program
is
working
in
an
equitable,
effective
and
efficient
manager.
This
was
the
right
first
step
and
a
necessary
first
step.
B
We've
also
initiated
the
development
of
an
evaluative
framework
for
the
encampment
trash
program
that
visually
measures,
the
presence
of
bulky
items
scattered
trash
and
the
volume
of
trash
and
encampments.
A
baseline
survey
was
conducted
in
november,
as
you
heard
before
so
encampment.
Organizing
efforts
are
aimed
at
having
camp
residents
contain
their
trash,
keep
it
in
designated
locations
and
ideally
bag
it
or
put
it
in
one
of
the
deployed
dumpsters.
B
This
is
a
precursor
to
visually
rating,
enough
physical
area
of
the
city,
to
make
both
localized
and
broad
assessments
of
the
cleanliness
of
the
city,
which
is
the
ultimate
goal.
We
also
recognize.
The
beautify
sj
program
is
reliant
on
other
program.
Successes
such
as
homeless
and
shelter,
outreach
county,
behavioral,
health
services
and
education
and
enforcement
of
illegal
dumping.
The
bottom
line,
though
visually
clean
conditions
across
the
city,
is
the
true
outcome
trying
to
be
achieved
and
the
measurement
system
being
developed
aims
to
do
just
that
in
2021..
B
So
much
work
has
been
produced
and
accomplished
by
the
beautify
sj
branch
in
2020.
Under
the
most
challenging
of
conditions,
progress
is
being
made.
We
have
a
systematic
approach
that
is
moving
from
early
pilot
to
more
mainstream
to
address
encampment
trash,
but
we
recognize
that
much
work
is
still
to
be
done.
We
still
need
to
get
conditions.
Much
cleaner
and
much
refinement
lies
ahead.
B
We
intend
to
continue
to
deliver
zone-based
encampment
trash
services,
we'll
consider
extensions
to
some
of
the
city
staff.
Eoc
redeployments
used
to
manage
the
vendors
conduct,
the
evaluations
and
support
encampment
organizing
as
needed
decisions
need
to
be
made
on
transitioning.
The
collection
of
programs
and
services
in
the
beautify
sjeoc
branch
into
a
more
normalized
prns
department,
beautify
isj
program,
we'll
continue
to
implement
and
refine
the
encampment
protocols
developed
and
launched
in
the
last
half
of
2020.
B
So
the
title
of
this
next
slide
is
a
bureaucratic
mouthful,
so
I
won't
attempt
it.
What
I
will
do
is
convey
my
deepest
appreciation
to
many
city.
Employees
who've
done
their
absolute
best
under
the
most
difficult
of
circumstances.
To
address
these
crises,
you
can
see
the
core
eoc
team
on
their
daily
zoom
meeting
in
the
picture
on
the
left.
They
led
scoped,
developed
and
implemented
a
major
ufc
response
for
which
you
have
heard
about
the
early
results
this
morning,
and
I
am
so
grateful
to
this
team.
B
She
has
worked
tirelessly
since
the
pandemic
hit
in
march,
and
with
that
we're
complete
with
our
presentation.
We
truly
appreciate
the
council's
patience
and
attention
on
this
challenging
and
complex
topic
and
are
available
for
your
questions,
feedback
and
guidance
and
to
receive
comments
from
the
public
as
well.
So
mayor
I'll
turn
it
back
to
you.
A
A
I
think
we
all
recognize
that
you
guys
rushed
into
a
situation
that
was
very
chaotic
and
you're
rapidly
trying
to
make
it
orderly
and
intelligible,
and
I
think
we've
made
incredible
strides
in
a
short
period
of
time,
given
how
everything
had
to
shut
down
so
severely
back
in
march,
let's
go
to
our
community
first
and
then
we're
going
to
come
back
to
the
council
for
questions
steve
holmes.
Thank
you,
steve
for
all
of
your
partnership.
A
Steve
we're
not
able
to
hear
you
right
now,
I'm
not
sure
if
it's
because
you
have
an
older
version
of,
but
we
can
come
back
to
him.
Okay,
steve,
keep
your
hand
up
see
if
we
can
fiddle
with
your
device.
We'll
come
right
back
to
you
and
justin
murrah.
Thank
you,
justin
for
all
the
extraordinary
work
that
you
do
both
for
the
city
and
in
your
not
so
leisurely
time
with
the
trash
punks
justin.
H
B
B
A
Thank
you,
justin.
Thank
you
to
you.
As
you
mentioned
steve
holmes,
deb
kramer.
You
guys
have
really
leveraged
the
energy
and
time
of
thousands
of
volunteers
to
be
able
to
be
part
of
the
solution,
really
grateful
to
you
for
all
your
hard
work
steve.
I
see
you
got
a
couple
hands
up.
If
one
of
those
will
work
we'll
go
with
either
one.
A
A
I
can't
speak
about
conditions
along
our
streets
and
parks,
but
I
can
regarding
local
creeks
over
the
past
seven
and
a
half
years,
south
bay,
clean
creeks
coalition,
has
worked
tirelessly
trying
to
reclaim
our
polluted
waterways
sometime
over
the
next
six
months.
We
will
surpass
the
one
million
pound
milestone
since
our
relaunch
during
these
covet
times
in
may,
we
have
conducted
27
cleanups
and
we've
removed
48
tons
of
trash.
A
A
A
L
L
I
know
I
have
a
big
disagreement
with
all
of
you
about
the
cdc
guidelines
and
your
abatement
of
roberts.
I
I
can't
even
believe
for
a
minute
that
this
trail
is
going
to
start
in
the
midst
of
this
pandemic.
I
know
they,
they
have
abated
people.
I
know
some
people
were
abated
on
donna
lane
and
everything
has
been
kind
of
up
in
the
air,
as
you
all
know,
but
let
me
tell
you:
there
is
no
services
that
people
do
not
go
out
and
offer
services.
L
There's
no
services
no
place
for
the
folks
to
go.
They
don't
want
to
go
into
a
shelter.
Look
at
what
just
happened
at
little
orchard
in
the
blue
tent.
They
have
an
outbreak.
People
living
in
encampments
have
been
safe.
Please
do
not
do
any
more
abatements.
This
is
really
against
the
cdc
guidelines
and
I
think
you
need
to
also
look
into
the
services
you're
using
at
roberts.
L
There
was
a
woman
with
kids
and
who's,
the
one
that
got
him
into
housing
myself,
who's
the
one
that
pushed
to
get
him
into
housing
services
are
not
doing
their
job,
it
means
home,
first
they're
not
doing
their
job
and
more
and
more
people
are
falling
through
the
cracks
and
we're
going
to
have
more
deaths
because
there's
no
place
for
people
to
go,
nothing
is
being
open
and
we
should
have
the
tully
library
open.
But
maya
doesn't
want
that
to
happen
and
people
are
going
to
be
dying.
M
Hi,
thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
speak
before
the
council.
My
name
is
deb
kramer.
I'm
the
executive
director
with
keep
tidy
creek
beautiful
and
first
I'd
like
to
thank
the
beautify
sj
support
to
help
keep
coyote
creek
beautiful
work
to
keep
the
trails
and
creek
clean
through
olympia
williams
and
her
staff
at
anti-litters
direct
support.
M
M
I
also
want
to
thank
councilmember
esparza
and
the
city
management
team
for
the
support
of
our
efforts.
We've
been
able
to
work
with
the
homeless
people
who
we
encounter
along
the
city,
creek
trail
who've
bagged
their
trash
and
added
them
to
our
two
tons
of
trash
that
are
small
groups
of
volunteers
remove
each
week.
M
A
A
You
know:
we've
had
a
lot
of
discussions
as
far
back
as
marge,
I
think
about
you
know,
what's
an
essential
service
and,
what's
not,
I
think
it's
clear
our
residents
believe
this
is
really
really
important,
and
the
question
is:
if
there
is
a,
I
think
we
all
expect,
there's
going
to
be
another
stay-home
mandate
when
exactly
that
will
be
whether
it's
tomorrow
or
a
week
and
a
half
or
three
weeks
from
now.
I
think
we
know
it's
coming.
F
Yeah
thanks
mayor
and
yeah,
I
think
I
think
they
will.
You
know.
Certainly
we've
learned
a
lot
over
the
past
many
months.
You
know
this.
This
whole
strategy
that
we've
developed
is
a
people.
First
strategy
abatement
is
a
last
resort,
but
just
like
we
never
discontinued
garbage
service
to
all
of
our
housed
residents.
F
Now
that
we've
established,
you
know
encampment
trash
service,
if
you
will
to
our
unhoused
residents,
I
I
don't
think
we
have
any
intention
of
stopping
that.
I
think
it
is
now
an
essential
service
that
we've
developed
and
I
think
it
meets
all
those
goals.
No
matter
really,
I
think
whatever
the
future
county
guidelines
or
orders,
I
think
we
would
be
able
to
maintain
this
service
would
be
what
would
be
my
opinion.
I
know
jim
if
you
agree
with
that.
Yeah.
B
A
Great
that's
encouraging,
because
I
know
it's
it's
awfully
hard
to
get
to
this
point.
If
there's
more
backsliding-
and
we
know
that
you
guys
had
to
do
an
awful
lot
of
catching
up
just
to
get
here
jim.
I
really
appreciate
that
the
attention
you
gave
toward
the
end
of
the
presentation
around
moving
from
measuring
outputs
to
measuring
outcomes-
certainly
impressive
number
of
2200
volkswagen
bugs
that
are
lined
up
all
that
is
meaningful
to
give
all
of
us
a
clear
sense
of
just
how
much
work
is
being
done
out
there.
A
But
we
know
our
residents
care
more
about
the
condition
of
their
community,
and
is
this
going
to
look
something
like
a
color
coding,
a
letter
form
I
mean.
How
can
you
give
us
a
sense
of
just
what
it's
going
to
appear
like
to
a
resident
and
are
we
going
to
be
doing
something
on
a
dashboard
of
some
kind?
B
Yeah,
that's
a
that's
a
great
question,
mayor
I'll
I'll
be
up
front.
I
don't
know
that
I
have
the
kind
of
the
dashboard
view
of
what
what
we
ultimately
think
it
will
look
like.
I
think
we
have
focused
our
effort,
I
think,
on
the
the
foundational
and
the
precursor
steps
sarah
went
through,
that
we
literally
were
going
out
to
encampments
and
locations
and
assessing
you
know
what
they
look
like
from
the
standpoint
of.
Do
we
have
bulky
items
scattered
trash
bag
trash?
B
We
will
ultimately
build
into
that
kind
of
a
rating
and
evaluation
to
say.
Do
we
have
clean
conditions?
You
know
what
does
it
look
like
to
the
to
the
eye?
What
does
it
look
like
in
the
picture?
You
can
tell
we're
taking
pictures
of
all
these
locations
before
and
after
so
we
will
have
a
continuous
record
and
then
I
think,
ultimately
we
do
have
to
figure
out
what
what
is
the
the
practical,
accessible
dashboard
type
thing
that
we
can
do
so
I
think
we'll
look
at
those
things,
but
what
we've?
B
B
I
think
we
have
to
figure
out
how
many
places
do
we
want
to
display
as
well?
I
don't
think
it's
every
street.
In
this
instance,
I
think
there
are
areas
that
maybe
have
more
hot
spot
focus,
we'll
talk
with
the
sd.
They
had
to
do
citywide
trash
load
reduction
surveys
as
well,
so
so
we'll
we'll
definitely
build
the
point
in
question
that
you
have
into
our
ultimate
kind
of
dashboard
of
where
are
we
at
what
you
know?
A
Okay,
I
appreciate
that-
and
I
know
this
is
not
an
easy
thing
to
figure
out.
I
would
just
add.
I
think
that
for
an
awful
lot
of
residents
in
our
city-
it's
not
just
say
a
particular
hot
spot,
or
you
know
we
know
encampments.
Obviously
we
all
of
us
as
human
beings
produce
trash
and
so
cabinets
tend
to
be
often
those
hot
spots,
but
it's
often
just
the
scattered
litter
that
they're
seeing
every
day
when
they're
driving
home
right,
and
so
I
I
hope
that.
A
The
I
really
think
really
appreciate
sarah's
presentation
on
the
data.
I
think
it's
really
incredible
how
we've
gotten
this
much
up
to
up
up
and
running,
to
try
to
make
sense
of
the
chaos
that
that
had
been
out
there
and
I
think,
we're
starting
to
really
start
to
get
a
handle
on
anecdotally
visually.
I
think
it's
looking
better,
but
I
can
only
speak
anecdotally
and-
and
you
guys
have
a
clear
sense
and
our
community
ultimately
has
the
clearest
sense.
A
I
did
want
to
ask
a
question
about
cash
for
trash
and
the
bridge
program.
I
know
both
of
these
are
just
small
parts
of
the
the
solution,
but
I
think
really
important
parts,
particularly
because
we
think
this
could
be
a
really
strong
pathway
to
help
our
own
house
neighbors
get
back
on
their
feet,
particularly
the
bridge
program,
and
do
we
forgive
me
if
I
missed
it,
because
I
got
a
lot
of
incoming
text
during
this
presentation.
But
do
we
have
any
data
about
the
latest
since
olympia
released
that
memo?
A
J
Hi
mary,
yes,
olympia
williams,
we
have
received
some
data
and
about
51
of
the
people
in
the
program
at
this
time,
have
either
transitioned
into
housing
or
into
what
we
call
full-time,
stable
jobs.
We've
been
collecting
quite
a
bit
of
data
on
the
demographics,
where
people
have
gone
to
work,
what
their
hourly
salary
is
and
our
goal.
I
know
my
goal
had
been
to
update
that
when
we
released
the
next
memo
in
the
spring
about
sj
bridge.
J
A
A
You
know
in
the
lifts
program
for
for
low-income
residents
getting
low-cost
access
to
the
to
the
bike
share
program,
and
I
imagine
both
with
the
bridge
program
and
cash
for
trash.
That
would
seem
to
be
a
logical
thing
is
there's
somebody
on
the
team
that
we
can
talk
to
about
how
to
integrate.
That
particular
step,
because
I
think
mobility
is
awfully
important
for
for
many
of
these
residents.
B
Well,
I
I
would
say
this
mayor
that
that
you
know
I
think,
talking
with
olympia
and
then
I
think
we
want
to
bring
reagan
in
with
the
outreach
teams,
because
I
think
we
we
have
to
recognize
that
that
the
beautify
sj
program,
I
think,
is,
is
doing
a
lot
of
work.
It's
not
outreach.
Clearly,
housing
and
shelter
outreach
is
done
through
our
housing
department
and
we've
got
a
great
partnership
with
them.
B
The
beautify
sj
program
has
stepped
up,
though,
around
organizing
and
trying
to
engage
with
people
that
are
in
in
encampments
to
to
work
on
a
variety
of
fronts
together
to
to
help
them
to
help
us
and
we'll
keep
doing
that.
But
I
think
it's,
let's
figure
out
between
the
beautify
sj
program
and
the
homeless,
support
and
services
branch
as
well
got
two
branches
work
closely
together,
they're
embedded
with
each
other
and
between
them
they
can
connect
with
your
office
to
figure
out
how
do
we?
How
do
we
do
that
effectively
and
efficiently.
A
N
Yeah,
thank
you
mayor
and
echo
dan.
This
was
a
tremendous
presentation.
Thank
you,
jim
and
the
entire
team.
I
think
it's
you
know
been
a
significant
amount
of
work.
I
think
one
of
the
things
that
we
don't
recognize,
especially
you
know
when
you're
shelter
in
place
and
you're,
not
really
traveling
around.
You
know
not
even
around
the
city,
let
alone
the
rest
of
of
the
region
or
the
country,
but
I
think
to
to
understand
that
this
is
a
phenomenon
that's
happening
across
the
country.
N
It's
not
just
here
the
city
of
san
jose
that
we're
experiencing
something
that
this
pandemic
has
brought
on.
I
think
it's
eye-opening,
and
certainly
we
you
know,
we've
been
hearing
the
complaints,
we've
been
seeing
it
physically
with
our
own
eyes
the
growing
challenges,
and-
and
I
think
I
want
to
recognize
that,
but
I
also
want
to
dive
a
little
deeper
in
regards
to
the.
N
Right
to
me,
it
seems
like
that's
just
the
one
piece
of
of
it
during
this
pandemic
that
we
are
not
taking
advantage
of.
Rather,
what
we're
doing
is
we're
responding
to
any
and
all
locations
where
our
own
house
community
decide
on
their
own,
that
they're
going
to
take
up
an
encampment
and
then
we're
having
to
deploy
a
significant
amount
of
resources
all
over
the
place
and
we're
constantly
having
to
try
to
locate
these
these
areas
or
for
those
that
that
may
be
cleared
out
because
they
are
in
a
right-of-way.
N
N
B
Yeah
counselor,
it's
a
excellent
question,
it's
kind
of
a
key
policy
issue
and
I
I
think
I
think
you
should
hear
from
a
couple
of
us.
I
think
I
think
the
city
manager
should
offer
his
perspective
and
I
think
jackie
should
offer
hers
as
well.
There
are
probably
others
that
have
thoughts
on
this,
but
I'll
give
mine
initially
and
mine
is
from
from
the
the
beautify
sj
team
and
trying
to
get
on
this
crisis
of
the
trash
reality.
B
I
think
it's
a
major
effort
to
figure
out
where
we
could
have
sanctioned
encampments
at
doing
the
policy
work.
The
locational
work.
I
would,
I
would
agree
with
you.
We
we
have
a
better
handle
on
where
people
are
at
and
potentially
where
they
could
go,
but
I
also
know
it
is
not
an
easy
process
of
citing
whether
it
be
transitional
housing,
bridge
housing,
communities,
emergency
interim
housing.
B
You
know
one
other
eoc
branch
did
that
work
earlier
the
year
I
was
smack
in
the
middle
of
that
and
selecting
locations
was
a
very
difficult,
very
time
consuming
process,
and
I
can't
imagine,
sanctioned
encampments
would
be
even
the
same
level
effort.
I
suspect
it
could
be
even
more
challenging,
but
that
doesn't
mean
we
shouldn't
go
down
the
path
of
of
potentially
assessing
that,
but
I
think
it
would
be
a
significant
amount
of
work,
a
couple
other
things
you
can
approach
it
on
the
continuum
of.
B
B
Continuing
policy
perspective,
what
we've
started
to
do
with
the
protocols
that
sarah
described
we've
said
you
can't
be
in
the
right
of
way,
which
you
know
is
probably
pretty
obvious,
but
now
we're
actively
enforcing
that
we've
also
done
encampment
containment.
So
we
have
an
enhanced
encampment
cleanup.
You,
you
saw
one
of
the
slides
had
the
flyer
of
the
12
by
12.,
so,
like
other
cities
are
doing
we're,
saying,
you've
got
to
be
in
a
smaller
space,
we're
putting
major
effort
into
into
unsheltered
people
trying
to
contain
their
footprint.
B
So
so
that's
working
on
that
side
of
the
continuum
you
know.
So
there
could
be
work
in
that
area,
but
moving
on
to
do
we
do
sanctioned
encampments.
I
think
we
have
to
understand
the
cost
of
doing
that
and
and
the
benefit,
because
I
think
there
would
be
a
lot
of
expected
services
like
we
do
in
bridge
housing
and
emergency
housing
as
well-
maybe
not,
but
in
all
likelihood
there
would
be
calls
for
that.
We
have
to
figure
out.
How
does
that
fit
into
this
model?
So
it
is.
B
It
is
probably
worth
a
a
framing
an
assessment
to
kind
of
see
what
these
different
choices
might
look
like
what
it
may
take
to
do
it.
In
the
meantime,
though,
you
saw
the
beautify
sj
roadmap.
It
is
a
very
large
body
of
work
that
I
don't
think
is
fully
resourced
and
to
take
on
that
effort
we
would
have
to
find
those
resources.
So
it's
it's
worth
a
high
level
of
valuation,
at
least
initially,
but
there
are
many
priorities
and
many
considerations
in
that.
B
F
F
You
know
the
kind
of
the
the
one
issue
that
that
I
think
and
jim's
pointing
out
is
probably
the
most
challenging
issue
is,
is
how
we
identify
the
appropriate
sites
and
the
willingness
of
a
community
to
support
those
sites,
and
certainly
if
we
evolve
the
current
plan
to
a
point
where
we
identify
areas
in
a
city
where
we're
not
going
to
tolerate
encampments.
You
mentioned
right
away
that
we
are
already
doing
that.
So
some
of
the
speakers
mentioned
we
should
do
as
other
cities
have
done
around
the
creeks.
F
F
O
O
And
so
you
know,
we
certainly
discussed
under
ab2176
to
the
extent
that
council
members
identified
sites
and
cleared
the
path
for
the
administration.
That
was
an
opportunity
for
us
to
move
more
quickly
and
that
has
been
challenging
as
well,
and
I
think,
finally,
as
we
head
towards
the
rainy
season,
I
think
from
a
safety
perspective,
we
are
going
to
want
to
move
people
away
from
the
creeks.
N
N
N
What
we
could
do
is
take
all
of
those
areas
and
then
determine
which
of
those
areas
are
the
best
which
of
those
areas
are
the
easiest
to
provide
services
which
of
those
areas
are
not.
You
know
intruding
in
the
right-of-way
or
in
or
around
other
dangerous
conditions,
for
instance
like
the
waterways
during
the
wet
rainy
season.
N
We
haven't
told
anybody
that
the
areas
are
sanctioned,
although
I
spend
way
too
much
time
every
week
trying
to
explain
to
my
constituents
why
we're
not
abating
locations,
it
would
personally,
for
me,
be
a
hell
of
a
lot
easier
to
just
say
these
areas
are
sanctioned
rather
than
I'm
sorry,
there
are
some
rules,
keeping
us
from
abating
or
we
can
only
clean
up
trash
or
we
can
only
clean
out.
Right-Of-Ways
it'd
be
a
heck
of
a
lot
easier
to
just
say:
we
have
allowed
these
particular
areas.
N
N
But
I
I
personally
think
it
could
be
made
slightly
easier
on
all
of
us
if
we
did
just
take
that
that
that
leap
to
actually
just
make
it
what
it
is,
a
sanctioned,
encampment
and
and
and
then
and
then
move
beyond
that
so
other
otherwise
I
I
again,
I
just
want
to
go
back
and
focus
on
on
the
work
that
has
been
done,
because
this
is
a
tremendous
lift.
I
think
it's
it's
unfortunate
that
we
have.
N
N
I
don't
necessarily
know
the
answer
to
that,
but
I'll
just
say
that
it's
extremely
disheartening
that
we,
even
as
a
community
as
a
society,
that
we
will
compile
this
much
trash
and
not
necessarily
even
just
you
know,
it's
embarrassing
the
amount
of
trash
we
compile
in
our
own
homes,
regular
trash
and
goes
to
our
dump,
but
the
amount
of
trash
that
we
will
litter
our
community
with
is
embarrassing.
And
so
I
I
you
know,
I
I.
I
would
hope
that
we
wouldn't
even
have
to
put
this
much
effort
into
this.
N
This
challenge,
but
it's
it's
the
case
that
we
do-
and
I
know
our
community
members
are-
are
grateful
for
it
that
that's
really
well
and
my
comments.
I
know
I
already
had
a
conversation
with
dave
sykes
about
this,
but
I
did
get
one
request
from
a
community
member
and
first
off
the
dashboard
is
amazing.
N
I
will
be
sharing
that
with
my
community
members,
but
there
was
a
request
for
how
could
we
incorporate
the
community
perspective,
and
the
mayor
mentioned
this
in
regards
to
you
know
our
community
members
are
out
there,
you
know,
and
they
can
provide
us
feedback
on
what
they're
seeing
and
it
is
just
perception.
I'm
not
you
know.
The
reality
of
the
facts
are
what
you
are
presenting
the
reality.
N
The
facts
are
what's
in
your
dashboard,
but
I
think
it
would
be
worthwhile
for
us
to
also
have
an
indication
from
our
community
members
on
what
their
perception
is
on.
How
well
this
investment,
or
these
investments
have
paid
off
right
and
and
to
get
that
feedback
from
them,
and
I'm
just
curious
if
you
know
over
time,
if
that's
something
that
we
think
we
can
incorporate,
you
know
some
some
periodic
surveys
on
on
this
effort.
N
Maybe
we
could
include
those
results
of
the
surveys
into
that
dashboard
right
to
just
say:
here's
the
feedback
right
our
community
has
given
us
a
you
know,
five
out
of
five
or
in
these
areas
or
whatever
it
may
be
right.
I
I
would.
I
would
love
to
see
that
it
was
a
suggestion
from
a
community
member,
and
I
thought
it
was
a
good
one
and
that's
where
all
in
my
comments
thanks
again.
B
A
Thank
you,
councilmember
palace.
Is
there
anything
more
okay,
yeah
and
I
know
we
started
to
talk
briefly.
I
think
in
the
last
council
meeting
about
you
know
what
parts
of
this
could
really
be
made
public
and
I
know
that's-
that's
gonna
take
some
more
work,
so
I
appreciate
everyone's
attention
to
getting
to
that
point.
Councilmember
foley.
K
Thank
you
just
a
few
brief
comments.
I
really
appreciate
the
presentation
and
pre
appreciate
the
work
that
you're
doing
out
in
the
community
gym
and
your
team
olympia.
Everyone
else
like
in
your
last
slide,
where
you
listed
all
the
names
of
the
staff
members
involved.
It
truly
is
too
many,
but
they
to
acknowledge
publicly,
but
they
are
so
invaluable
and
responsive
to
our
staff.
K
Each
of
our
staff
spends
so
much
time
addressing
trash
illegal
dumpings
abandoned
vehicles,
which
we
really
didn't
talk
about
much
today,
but
all
the
things
that
are
creating
blight
in
their
community
and
where
I
think
we're
just
noticing
it
more
because
we're
home
more
and
we're
not
out
working
and
distracted
as
we
have
been
in
the
past
but
also
trash,
is,
is
getting
worse.
A
couple
of
things,
though
I
I
am
so
grateful
for
the
presentation-
and
I
am
so
grateful
for
the
work
that
you
are
doing
so.
K
Thank
you
for
your
efforts
in
a
couple
of
district
nine
areas,
particularly
donna
lane.
I
know
that
gail
called
earlier
and
was
frustrated
about
donna
lane,
but
I
know
that
the
resident
unhoused
resident
eventually
took
services,
and
is
I
I
assume,
living
somewhere
with
social
services
and
mental
health
services,
but
olympia.
I
want
to
thank
you
publicly
for
all
of
your
efforts.
There.
It
was
one
person
like
was
shown
in
a
couple
of
other
slides
about
how
much
unhoused
can
collect
and
how
it
is
not.
K
While
we
may
consider
it
trash
it
really
isn't
it's
things
that
they
can
generate.
Income
from
and
so
they're
have
their
little
business
where
they're
selling
things
and
and
making
money.
But
you
it
really
cleaned
up
that
community
in
other
areas
that
the
neighbors
are
very
happy
and
and
relieved.
So
I
truly
appreciate
you
for
all
your
efforts
there
and
for
the
I
I'm
really
pleased
to
see
all
the
interagency
work
that
is
going
on
and
the
efforts
in
coordinating
there
that's
really
important.
K
It's
not
just
the
city
that
has
jurisdiction
and,
and
the
fact
now
that
we're
in
discussions
and
have
mousse
and
others
with
various
agencies
is
also
really
important,
because
when
the
community
calls
us
the
residents
call
us,
they
don't
want
to
hear
us
say
well,
this
is
caltrans
or
this
is
you
know
someone
else.
This
is
valley
waters
district.
K
They
just
want
to
know
we're
taking
care
of
it
so
with
an
inner
agency
agreement
that
would
that
will
really
help
and
hopefully
work
out
those
situations
and
we're
already
seeing
it
along
our
creek
beds
and
we're
seeing
it
in
our
right
of
ways
and
our
our
paths,
and
that's
that's
really
great.
I
have
just
a
couple
questions
mostly.
I'm
just
really
excited
to
see
beautify
sj
and
have
this
study
session.
I
am
concerned
about
resources
and
how
many
I
know
we
we
authorized
three
million
to
me.
K
That
seems
like
a
drop
in
the
bucket
right
now,
given
the
level
of
effort
and
the
scoping
that
you
have,
how
long
will
the
three?
How
far
will
the
three
million
carry
you
and
I
suppose,
in
the
budget
session
next
year,
we'll
see
increases
or
additional
resources
needed
both
staffing
and
funding
for
our
the
outsourcing
that
we
do
jim?
Can
you
address
that
or
any
thoughts
about
that.
B
The
city
manager
and
budget
office
will
be
bringing
a
recommendation
of
the
council
next
tuesday
on
rebalancing
the
coronavirus
relief
fund
and
the
contingency
operations
reserve,
and
so
there
will
be
likely
an
additional
recommended
allocation
within
that
for
this
program
to
carry
us
to
the
end
of
the
year.
But
it's
not
at
that
same
level.
We
believe
we're
building
up
to
a
higher
service
level,
so
our
rate
of
expenditure
is
is
ramping
up
to
to
get
to
that
kind
of
optimal
service
model
1.0
service
level.
B
You
know
so
that
that's
conceptually
kind
of
what
we're
doing,
if
I
and
and
this
don't
hold
me
to
it-
but
we're
estimating-
maybe
it's
maybe
it's
about
from
a
total
need-
maybe
a
half
a
million
dollars
a
month.
Maybe
a
six
million
dollar
allocation
year
of
ongoing,
but
we
do
already
have
some
ongoing
resources,
the
encampment
abatement
funds
that
housing
used
to
do
abatements
with
that
money,
has
moved
into
the
beautify
sj
program
and
is
being
used
for
cleaning
purposes.
B
The
housing
department,
also
through
the
soar
program,
has
resources
for
additional
outreach
and
cleaning
so
we're
able
to
at
the
source
site
16
key
sites
to
have
funding
for
trash
and
cleanup
activities.
So
we
are
going
to
assemble
all
of
the
existing
ongoing
resources,
assess
with
the
one
time
that
we've
gotten
and
put
together
a
probably
a
tiered
or
a
set
of
alternatives,
of
what
different,
ongoing
investment
recommendations
will
produce
in
terms
of
service
levels,
so
probably
developing
something
like
that
for
the
21
22
budget
year.
B
So
the
council
can
see
you
know
what
we
already
have
allocated,
what
might
be
new
needed
to
fill
a
gap
and
what
gap
do
we
want
to
fill
to
what
service
level?
And
that
would
be
part
of
a
21
22
budget
process?
So
we
intend
to
carry
service
model
1.0
through
the
end
of
june
refine.
It
understand
the
costs
and
develop
the
best,
most
equitable,
effective,
efficient
program.
We
can
for
service
model
2.0
and
make
those
recommendations
in
the
budget
process
in
the
spring.
K
Great
that
thank
you,
so
it
sounds
like
you
have
the
funds
figured
out
for
now
and
that
through
the
the
coronavirus
funds
and
other
funds,
you're
able
to
do
the
work
that
you
need
and
that
you've
laid
out
under
1.0,
so
that
that's
great,
I
I,
how
do
we
you
know,
I'm
thinking
about
the
our
unhoused
residents
and
how
we
are
approaching
them
to
contain
their
trash
to
clean
up
their
trash?
How
do
we
do?
We
have
a
team
who
approaches
them?
K
First,
I
mean,
I
know
we,
we
don't
just
go
out
there
and
clean
up
around
them,
but
can
you
kind
of
walk
me
through
the
process
of
how
we
try
to
work
with
them?
And
I
understand
you
know
this
is
a
very
sensitive
issue.
We
want
to
treat
them
with
humanity
and
respect,
and,
and
certainly
they
want
to
clean
up
around
themselves
too,
but
maybe
they
don't
have
the
tools.
So
how
do
we?
Can
you
just
walk
me
through.
B
G
G
But
what
we
have
found
is
that
we
have
staff
that
are
helping
manage
out
at
these
different
tier
levels
and
especially
at
the
tier
three
which
the
most
complicated
not
only
from
size,
but
due
to
behavioral
issues
right
as
well,
that
will
be
present
at
the
camp,
and
so
we
know
that
our
staff
have
to
be
out
there
prior
to
any
major
cleanup.
You
know
our
goal
is
to
have
a
consistent
level
of
staff.
That
knows
these
encampment
residents,
you
know
recognizes
them
by
face,
knows
their
names
knows
their
history.
G
You
know
and
their
story.
One
thing
that
benefited
us
in
this
effort,
where
a
number
of
our
staff
who
are
leads
in
the
beautify
team
right
now
had
their
origins
in
our
department
in
youth
intervention,
gang
interventional
work,
utilizing
the
same
skill
sets
of
you
know
being
individually
focused
right.
Knowing
that
change
does
not
come
fast
right
talking
to
people
knowing
their
stories,
that's
why
we
want
to
continue
focusing
on
this
level
of
model.
G
I
mean,
like
one
thing,
that
I
really
liked
about
working
inside
this
branch
over
the
last
last
few
months
was
really
melding.
The
philosophies
you
know
with
housing
department
and
our
work
and
focusing
us
on
a
humanistic
viewpoint
on
this.
That's
so
important,
yeah
and-
and
so
that's,
I
think,
that's
the
approach
of
our
team.
They
come
out
there
prior
to
any
major
cleanup.
They
talk
to
them.
They
work,
alongside
with
the
outreach
and
the
other
effort.
I'd
say,
is
a
level
of
consistency.
G
C
C
Their
primary
responsibility
is
to
build
that
trust
and
that
relationship
and
it
starts
with
sometimes
just
the
little
things.
What
do
you
need
today?
Do
you
need
some
water?
Do
you
need
a
hygiene
kit?
I
have
some
socks.
What
can
I
help
you
with
today
and
it's
repeatedly
doing
those
trust
building
and
what?
How
can
I
help
you
today
and
then
and
then
we
talk
about
housing
and
kind
of?
C
B
B
So
I
think
neil
and
reagan
described
our
efforts
to
to
encourage
support
assist
and
we
also
have
tools
that
require
and
expect
and
require
as
well.
So
we
are
trying
to
approach
it
from
a
number
of
different
points
on
the
continuum,
and
I
think
we're
going
to
need
to
continue
to
do
that
and
I
feel
like
we're
broadening
the
the
the
ways
in
which
we
can
more
effectively
work
with
people
in
encampments
and
have
neighbors
that
are
around
them
feel
like
we're,
also
not
forgetting
about
them
in
the
process.
K
So
I
I
appreciate
that
answer
to
my
question
that
helps
me
understand
it
and
I'm
also
sensitive
to
the
time,
but
I
just
have
a
couple
other
questions,
and
actually
I
want
to
piggyback
on
what
councilmember
perales
said
regarding
encampment,
sanctioned,
encampments
and
and
focusing
on
where
encampments
shouldn't
be
along
our
creek
beds
and
right-of-ways
and
and
enforcing
that
versus
where
they
should
be
in
a
creating
a
sanctioned
encampment.
I
kind
of
like
that
approach,
and
maybe
we
can
approach
dig
deeper
into
that
at
a
later
date.
K
K
It
does
it
operate
like
a
strict
debit
card
where
there
are
no
fees
accrued
to
the
okay.
That's
what
I
want
to
hear
because
it's
a
credit
card.
If
it's
a
credit
card,
it
may
be
20
bucks,
but
it
ends
up
being
10
when
they
use
good
to
know.
Thank
you
olympia.
I
appreciate
that
with
that
I
will
I've.
I
conclude
my
comments.
Thank
you,
mayor.
A
A
P
P
You
know,
I
don't
know.
If
I
mean
I
actually
read
that
in
multiple
sources,
do
you
guys
have
an
idea
of
why
you
think
this
problem
is
increasing
in
in
california
and
like
oregon
and
washington
and
some
of
the
west
coast
cities?
Is
it
just
because
of
our
weather
or
our
our
our
you
know.
I'm
talking
about
homelessness.
Obviously,
would
do
you
think
it's
just
our
weather
or
do
you
think
other
states
are
actively
sending
people
our
way
like
I
said,
I'm,
I'm
puzzled.
B
C
Add
I
think
that
that's
certainly
the
the
primary
reasons
we
we
just
continue
to
see
the
cost
of
living
increase
and
wages
not
being
kept
up,
and
we
see
that
you
know
up
and
down
the
west
coast.
I
think
that
the
there
are
challenges
along
the
east
coast
as
well.
From
recent
conversations,
I've
had
with
folks
in
cities
like
philadelphia
and
new
york
are
continuing
to
see
challenges
as
well.
P
B
In
in
terms
of
on
the
unsheltered
and
homeless
support
front,
clearly
we
have
the
community
planned
and
homelessness
that
the
council
endorsed
in
august
reagan,
leading
our
homeless
support
and
services.
Branch
of
the
eoc
is
running
a
a
joint
homeless
response
task
force
with
the
county
and
meets
with
them
regularly.
B
I'll
be
honest,
we
need
them
to
do
more.
We
need
them
to
step
up
more
on
that
front,
because
these
really
challenging
encampments
that
were
in
the
pilot
program
have
unsheltered
residents
in
them
that
have
challenges
that
require
expert,
consistent
county
public
health
services,
and
so
we
need
them
more
on
that
front.
But
that's
my
limited
perspective
on
that
and
experience
on
that
reagan.
Anything
you
would
add
or
or
correct.
C
C
So
we
are
coordinating
regularly
on
implementation
of
the
community
plan.
The
county
and
keeley
is
really
focused
on
our
integrating
our
work
with
the
county
safety
net
systems,
behavioral
health
county
re-entry
all
of
those
systems
where
we
need
to
just
have
better
coordination
and
integration
of
our
of
our
services.
P
Yeah,
well,
you
know
that's
what
I
was
that's
what
I
was
getting
to.
I
I
think
that
you
know
this
is
a
great
effort
to
address
the
the
symptoms
of
of
these
problems,
but
I
was
wondering
how
much
effort
is
being
made
by
our
county
to
address
the
causes,
and,
quite
frankly,
I
hear
you
loud
and
clear
that
more
needs
to
be
done
by
the
county,
and
I
would
love
to
get
advice
either.
P
You
don't
have
to
give
it
to
me
today
about
what
actual
things
can
be
done
to
address
mental
health
and
drug
addiction
for
these
folks,
often
from
from
what
staff
tells
me
privately,
it's
tough
to
get
these
folks
out
of
the
encampments,
because
they
are,
you
know,
setting
their
ways
on
on
some
of
the
drug
issues
and
I'd
love
to
hear
what
can
be
done
to
address
people.
Who
are
you
know
on
drugs
and
want
to
stay
on
drugs
and
are
saying
no
to
help.
O
C
Council
member
we're
we're
currently
working
with
behavioral
health
on
a
an
analysis,
a
service
and
gaps
analysis
of
what
services
are
currently
offered
and
where
are
the
gaps,
particularly
for
our
homeless
population,
because
just
having
a
better
understanding
of
what
the
need
is
versus
what's
available
is
so
critically
important
and
that
gaps
analysis
study
is
is
called
out
in
our
community
plan
to
end
homelessness,
and
I
was
just
on
a
call
with
behavioral
health
yesterday.
Talking
about
that
analysis,.
C
C
A
pilot
coordination
or
handoff
program
so
that,
when
our
soar
outreach
teams
are
in
our
large
encampments,
we
actually
have
a
back
door.
If
you
will
two
behavioral
health
services,
we're
going
to
pilot
a
different
way,
I
think
of
of
access
and
and
partnership
just
for
our
soar
program
and
we'll
see
how
that
goes.
While
we're
doing
this
sort
of
larger
behavioral
health
service
and
gaps,
analysis.
P
Well,
good,
I
I
wish
you
all
the
luck.
Obviously
this
is
not
you
know.
My
days
are
numbered
here,
but
I
I
intend
to
keep
up
with
this
issue
because
I'm
passionate
about
it.
I
think
that
we
need.
We
need
to
make
sure
that
we
have
the
services
available
and
if
and
if
it
is
more
mental
health
and
and
drug
addiction,
services
and
evaluation
is
absolutely
necessary
of
how
many
you
know,
facilities
that
we
have
and
how
many
more
we
need.
I
think
it's
you
know
your
work.
That
work
is
invaluable.
P
It
took
a
long
time,
but
the
encampment
off
of
amino
expressway
and
and
highway
85,
you
cleaned
it
up
and
you
removed
14
people
that
were
encamped,
but
you
couldn't.
You
couldn't
remove
two
from
I
understand
from
your
emails
because
they
refused
services
and
they
refused
to
leave.
So
you
know
those
are
the
things
that
that
we
need
to
understand.
Why
did
those
two
you
know
want
to
stay?
Is
it
because
they're
you
know
they?
P
Well,
you
know
well
I
I
would
love
to
know
specifically
in
that
case,
where
staff
worked
so
hard
over
a
couple
of
of
months
to
remove
some
of
the
blighted
area
with
so
much
dumping.
You
know-
and
I
guess,
if
you
want
to
tell
me
offline,
that's
fine
with
me,
but
I
would
appreciate
knowing
why
we
couldn't
help
those
two
we
helped
14.
B
P
A
E
Thank
you,
mayor,
perfect
segue.
These
are
not
simple
problems
for
sure,
and
I
I
just
I
wanted
to
crack
something
out
there.
The
united
states
interagency
council
on
homelessness
posts,
a
lot
of
research
and
information
on
their
website,
including
a
state-by-state,
point-in-time
census,
count
on
homelessness
and
there's
actually
no
state
in
our
country.
That
has
seen
a
decrease
in
homelessness.
E
So,
unfortunately-
and
so
I
just
wanted
to
point
that
out
and
that
definitely
there-
this
is
a
a
bigger
issue
in
the
in
texas
and
the
west
coast
and
the
east
coast.
If
you
look
at
those
stats,
we
are
not
alone,
unfortunately,
and
we're
not
alone
in
trying
to
figure
out
and
address
the
symptoms
of
some
of
the
underlying
issues
that
are
facing
us,
and
I
wanted
to
first
off
add
my
thanks
to
the
team
working
on
this.
E
E
E
So
there
are
folks
from
different
departments
with
a
variety
of
responsibilities
that
shows
how
much
bandwidth
this
is
taking
in
our
city,
not
just
from
a
budget
perspective
which
we
will
get
to
address
as
a
council,
mid-year
and
I'm
assuming
in
a
few
months
after
that
that
this
is
because
we
hear
so
much
from
our
residents,
and
this
is
such
a
huge
issue.
We
are
responding
to
it,
but
that
has
consequences.
E
E
There
are
a
lot
of
folks
who
are
you
know
if
we're
able
to
get
them
through
all
our
extensive
outreach,
if
we're
able
to
to
get
them
in
that
right
moment
where
they're
willing
to
accept
help
and
there
isn't
a
bed
or
a
placement
on
the
other
side.
Of
that,
that's
a
huge,
huge
issue,
and
so
I
just
wanted
to
offer
any
additional
help.
E
I
just
want
to
emphasize
that
we
need
we
need
that
process.
We
need.
We
need
beds
right.
We
need
a
model
to
be
developed
from
beginning
from
when
someone
is
willing
to
accept
help
in
the
creek
that
they
get
it,
and
then
they
can
go
on
to
each
step
from
there
and
ultimately
get
a
shelter
and
then
really
ultimately
get
housed,
which
is
what
we
all
want
right.
I
think
that's
hugely
hugely
critical.
E
The
other
thing
I
I
did
want
to
just
address
sanctioned
encampments
again,
if
there
are
a
lot
of
challenges
to
that
outlined
in
years
and
years
of
research
on
sanction
encampments.
I
would
encourage
folks
to
to
look
at
some
of
that
research
or
again
go
on
to
the
us
interagency
council
on
homelessness,
which
has
some
white
papers
and
some
information
on
it.
It
also,
but
I
just
I
just
wanted
to
bring
that
up.
I
think
that
question
was
addressed
was
answered
pretty
well
and
similar
to
that.
E
Oakland
has
been
brought
up
and
I
think
in
the
context
that
we
are
all
trying
to
figure
this
out,
I
think
oakland
is
taking
another
path
to
try
and
figure
it
out.
I
actually
pulled
all
the
memos
on
that
when
that
came
to
oakland
and-
and
you
know,
watched
the
results
and
the
vote.
The
conversations
around
that,
I
think
what
folks
don't
realize
is
that
it
would,
in
effect,
sanction
encampments
outside
of
that
zone.
E
That's
a
public
safety
issue
when
we
have
huge
fires
right
next
to
mobile
home
parks.
That
is
where
you
have
two
minutes
to
get
out
of
a
mobile
home.
That's
a
public
safety
concern.
I've
had
a
number
of
fires
very
close
to
some
mobile
home
parks
in
my
district
and
yeah,
it's
concerning
also
there
have
been
a
number
of
fires
next
to
some
schools
by
the
creek
and
again
those
create
public
safety
concerns.
E
And
so
I
appreciate
the
process
and
the
the
thought
and
the
logic
that
goes
into
that,
and
I
just
has
gone
into
our
work.
But
I
don't
want
to
lose
sight
of
the
fact
that
there
are
public
safety
issues
that
are
not
everywhere
and
they're,
not
all
the
time,
but
they
do
exist,
and
I
think
that
we
need
to
be
mindful
of
that,
because
I
see
it
in
my
district
and
I
don't
want
to.
E
I
don't
want
to
face
a
future
where
people
lose
their
homes
or
their
lives.
Because
of
some
of
these
issues-
and
I
wanted
to
also
thank
the
team
for
focusing
on
equity.
I
think
I
think
it's
incredibly
important
to
ensure
that
not
just
the
loudest
or
the
most
connect
politically
connected
get
heard,
but
that
we
take
a
sort
of
empirical
data
based
approach
that
that
looks
at
where
the
greatest
need
is-
and
I
wanted
to
thank
the
team
for
that.
E
So
I
think
it's
been
mentioned
before
this
is
not
all
homelessness.
This
includes
a
lot
of
illegal
dumping.
I
have
some
spots
along
the
creek
where
people
just
come
in
and
dump
trucks
loads
of
you
know
unwanted
items,
monterey
where
we
picked
up.
What
is
it
eight
hundred
thousand
or
a
million
pounds
of
trash
before
covid
is
about.
B
Yeah
councilmember,
as
I
laid
out
the
road
map,
the
road
map
for
2021.
We
have
a
couple
of
things
around
illegal
dumping
to
dig
into
much
further.
The
first
one
is
a
program
assessment
of
illegal
dumping.
It's
it's
been
a
program,
that's
up
and
running.
It
certainly
has
a
lot
of
production
associated
with
it,
but
we
want
to
make
sure
that
it
it's
operating
in
an
optimal
way
and
we
integrate
it
with
all
the
other
aspects
of
beautify
san
jose.
So
that's
one
aspect:
it's
on
our
roadmap.
It's
a
priority
to
do.
B
From
my
perspective,
I
think
we
need
to
look
at
kind
of
what
their
priorities
are
and
how
they
rate
and
rank
against
the
issue
of
lots
of
illegal
dumping
happening
in
our
city.
To
see.
Should
any
reprioritization
occur
and
if
there
literally
is
no
opportunity
for
for
re-prioritizing
illegal
dumping
enforcement,
because
what
they're
doing
rates
higher,
then
I
think
we
have
to
look
at
other
resources.
B
It
is
not
an
easy
thing
to
do.
Illegal
dumping
enforcement,
you
literally
have
to
catch
people
in
the
act
or
some
similar
types
of
very
concrete
evidence.
It's
a
little
bit.
You
know
I
haven't
been
closely
involved
in
the
fireworks
enforcement
issue
and
I
certainly
don't
want
to
open
that
can
of
worms
up
in
this
conversation,
but
I
suspect
we
would
have
many
of
the
similar
types
of
of
issues
interwoven
on
an
illegal
dumping
enforcement,
but
it
is
on
our
roadmap,
but
it
will
take
some
marshalling
of
effort
to
scope.
B
It
figure
it
out
what
it's
going
to
take.
What
are
the
right
strategies?
Do
we
have
any
resources
to
redeploy
or
do
we
need
any
new
ones
to
to
implement
those
strategies?
That
would
be
effective.
So
it's
clearly
an
important
piece,
but
it's
not
just
something
that
we
can
snap
our
fingers
and
have
happen
unless
we're
willing
to
let
go
of
other
things
that
those
enforcement
agencies
in
our
city
are
doing.
E
B
H
J
If
I
could
just
add
to
that,
though,
we
did
recently,
we
just
found
out
received
a
grant
from
the
mattress
council
in
the
state
of
california
that
will
purchase
two
additional
cameras
and
license
plate
readers.
So
we've
been
we'll
increase
our
camera
kind
of
how
many
we
have
across
the
city,
but
it's
through
a
grant,
it
will
buy
the
same
type
of
camera
and
that
camera
is
thirty
thousand
dollars.
J
What
we've
done
is
reached
out
to
our
partners
in
other
cities
across
california,
and
this
seems
to
be
the
best
type
of
camera
because
it
collects
both
license
plates
and
the
visual
camera
piece.
Other
cities
are
also
looking
for
something
that's
more
affordable,
but
they
haven't
found
anything
that
will
really
provide
the
type
of
information
we
need
to
cite
someone.
E
E
You
know
we
don't
have
a
lot
of
teeth
and
people
know
that,
and
so
the
dumping
is
really
gotten
out
of
control
in
some
spots,
and
so
it
costs
us
money
to
clean
it
up,
and
I
I
think
I
think
of
it
similar
actually
to
the
street
racing
ordinance
where
we
want
it
as
a
deterrent,
right
and
and
that
that
gets
spread
through
word
of
mouth
and
that
it
does
take
some
enforcement.
But
frankly
we
just
don't
want
people
to
do
it
in
the
first
place.
E
That's
helpful,
thank
you
and
I
have
a
question
about
the
interagency
coordination
that
is
super
exciting.
I
it
sounds
nerdy
to
say,
but
it
is
it's
very
exciting
and
really
important,
so
it's
so
needed
to
do
all
that,
so
that
was
really
great
to
see
the
slide
with
the
different
agencies
and
where
we're
at
with
them.
E
B
B
They
are
probably
struggling
from
a
resource
and
and
gap
issue
like
we
are,
but
I
think
the
first
step
is
figuring
out
what
it's
going
to
take
to
get
their
properties
cleaned
too.
You
got
to
start
with
a
foundation
because
I
don't
know
what
they'd
send
us,
I'm
certainly
not
willing
to
obligate
the
city
to
have
those
properties
be
clean
and
then
probably
come
up
with
a
dollar
amount
that
they
would
ship
our
way.
That
would
be
so
insufficient
to
really
get
the
job
done,
that
it
wouldn't
make
sense.
B
B
They
need
to
do
the
same
thing,
right,
location,
right,
service,
right
frequency
and
with
caltrans
we're
we're
going
through
that
model
with
them.
We
we
are
trying-
and
I
think,
they're
they're
very
interested
in
understanding
here
about
it.
I
don't
think
any
of
the
other
agencies
are
taking
nearly
as
systematic
approach
to
it
as
as
we
are
valley
water
is,
is
a
pretty
focused,
but
it's
more
where
their
properties,
you
know,
and-
and
there
are
so
many
intermingling
properties
on
the
creek.
B
You
know
we
on
this
one
private
property
here
them
that
it's
not
always
easy
to
get
a
clean,
long
stretch
of
a
creek
fully
cleaned,
but
trying
to
bring
my
answer
in
councilmember.
I
think
we're
going
to
do
the
foundational
work
of
figuring
out.
What
does
it
take
to
get
those
properties
clean
and
then
what's
the
best
most
efficient
way?
If
it
is
us
doing
it,
we
would
be
open
to
that.
It
has
to
be
sufficient,
but
those
are
things
that
we're
working
on
very
hard.
B
As
you
can
imagine,
it's
it's
labor-intensive
work
working
with
other
agencies
to
get
to
this,
there's
a
level
of
complexity
compared
to
us
just
figuring
out
on
our
properties,
but
to
work
with
them
to
figure
it
on
theirs.
In
the
meantime,
though,
we
are
doing
more
cleanup
work
with
them.
We're
partnering,
with
each
agency
more
than
we
ever
were,
and
we'll
continue
to
do
that.
While
we
try
to
build
a
better
service
model
around
other
agencies
and
that
could
include
reimbursement
if
that
ends
up
being
the
most
effective
and
efficient
way
to
do
it.
E
So
hopefully
we
can
help
them
get
to
that
point
as
well,
because
I
suspect
they're
in
different
places.
I
had
another
question
about
the
interagency
agreements
so
with
union
pacific,
so
communication
and
response
times
have
been
slow.
How
will
what
commitments
are
being
made
around
that
moving
forward.
B
I'll,
let
olympia
who's
led
the
negotiations
with
neil
and
from
the
city
attorney's
office
and,
and
I
did
hear
we
got
an
executed
agreement
back
from
from
union
pacific.
Just
I
think
yesterday,
olympia
talk
a
little
bit
about
response
times
and
then
the
kind
of
the
proactive,
multiple
cleaning
efforts
throughout
the
year
as
well.
Very
briefly,
if
you
would.
J
Definitely,
council,
member,
so
what
we've
agreed
to
is
eight
coordinated
cleanups
to
do
our
proactive
work.
What
we
usually
do
is
gather
a
list
of
things.
We
consider
low
priority
issues
that
need
to
be
addressed
during
those
eight
cleanups
union.
Pacific
will
address
issues
that
are
a
safety
concern.
If
we
email
them
or
something
is
reported
directly
to
them
that
they
deem
as
a
safety
concern,
they
will
come
out
and
address
those
specific
items
immediately.
E
J
Like
that
the
window
so
I'll
give
you
an
example,
if
someone
tells
you
there's
been
a
fire
on
their
property
and
especially
about
photos
if
we
get
those
over
to
them
or
the
reporting
party
does
and
they
determine
that,
that's
really
close
to
the
rail
line
they'll
send
someone
out
immediately.
They
determine
that
it's
20
feet
from
where
the
rail
line
is.
They
may
wait
a
couple
days
or
a
week,
or
maybe
even
two
weeks
before
they
address
that.
J
E
That's
actually,
you
know
it's
it's
it's
a
step
forward.
It's
a
big
step
forward
actually,
and
so
we've
had
some
issues
like
with
the
gate.
As
you
know,
that
was
smashed
and
and
and
it
it
was
many
many
many
months
before
they
responded.
They
finally
did,
which
is
great,
but
the
safety
issues
are
huge,
and
so
I'm
glad
to
hear
that
they're
responding
to
those
and
I'll
we'll
continue
to
ask
residents
and
businesses
to
send
photos,
because
I
do
think,
that's
really
powerful
and
okay.
That's.
A
F
E
E
Okay,
so
dave
you
might
not
have
the
answer
to
this,
but
as
the
next
stimulus
bills
come
about,
do
we
expect
to
in
the
short
term,
I
realize
that
these
are
long-term
expenses
and
we
need
to
put
our
own
money
into
it,
but
in
the
short
term,
in
the
next
bill,
are
we
also
once
we
have
that
information?
Do
we
plan
to
analyze
it
so
that
we
can
use
some
of
that
funding
for
blight
sanitation,
yeah.
F
E
Okay,
thank
you
and
just
lastly
I'll
I'll
end
with
the
comment
that,
as
going
back
to
homelessness
as
homelessness
has
increased
in
our
city
in
our
county
and
our
state,
we
need
to
continue
to
look
at
preventing
it,
which
means
displacement,
policies,
tenant
protections,
extremely
low
income,
housing
and
eviction.
Protections,
and
you
know
there
are.
There-
are
policies
that
we
are
in
control
of
as
a
city
council
to
prevent
or
slow
down
increases
in
homelessness,
and
that
should
be
on
the
table.
Thank
you.
M
M
I
M
M
And
I
guess
the
most
obvious,
I
guess
the
the
the
question
that
just
pops
up
for
me
is:
if
we
already
know
this
and-
and
I
know
that
we're
running
on
limited
funds,
I
guess
the
question
would
be
okay.
So
if
we
know
this
and
we
have
an
increased
demand
for
services,
then
it
would
just
seem.
You
know
that
the
most
obvious
solution
is
increase.
M
Our
services
by
increasing
resources
by
expanding
city
team
or
or
or
whatever
the
the
the
lead,
the
lead
stakeholders
and
the
lead
team
members
would
deem
necessary.
And
so
my
question
is,
I
guess,
to
sada
or
to
jim
is
what
do
we
need
to
do
to
to
increase
our
resources
in
this
aspect?
Because
it's
it's
an
issue
that
we
can't
seem
to
get
a
hold
of.
So
to
me.
M
Now
it's,
I
think,
ten
thousand
dollars
at
the
top
of
the
of
the
violators,
those
who
are
repeated
violators-
and
I
don't
know
if
anyone
has
ever
been
fined-
ten
thousand
dollars
and
and
I'm
sure
that
has
to
do
with
a
lack
of
enforcement.
But
we
have.
We
have
at
least
a
million
pairs
of
eyes
in
the
city
of
san
jose
minus
those
who
are
violating
the
policy.
M
So
could
we
not
use
those
million
pairs
of
eyes
to
help
us
with
enforcement
and
do
a
little
bit
of
you
know,
use
a
carrot
and
a
stick
and
and
have
folks
without
them
jeopardizing
their
safety
share
the
wealth?
And
so
if
we
were
to
find
people
incentivize
and
and
use
that
those
funds
to
to
incentivize
and
and
share
it
with
the
folks
that
actually
report
and
catch
people
in
the
act.
B
In
fact,
we
have
done
it,
at
least
in
an
initial
phase,
and
I
think
that's
what
you're
seeing
on
this
on
this
graph
here,
that
in
phase
three
in
the
tan
yellow
area
was
prior
to,
we
were
using
some
kind
of
emergency
contracts
prior
to
the
council's
allocation
of
additional
three
million
dollars
in
early
october,
our
level
of
production
was
down.
The
council
did
allocate
more
resources
to
this
for
us
to
do
more,
we
awarded
three
contracts
and
we
jumped
up
production
and
we
were
seeing
cleaner
conditions.
B
B
Three
different
vendors
that
we
awarded
contracts
to,
and
we
have
three
different
non-profit
service
providers
that
are
doing
work
first
as
well,
and
we're
evaluating
all
of
them
to
see
which
are
most
effective,
which
are
most
efficient,
which
get
the
job
done
the
best
and
we'll
keep
doing
that
in
service
model
1.0
through
the
rest
of
this
fiscal
year,
and
we
will
have
recommendations
in
the
spring
to
right,
size,
the
level
of
investment
and
the
right
types
of
services
and
the
right
frequencies
to
get
at
a
clean
condition
across
our
city.
Many
locations.
B
If
you
will
so
so
I
I
think
we
would.
We
understand
your
point
and
we
generally
agree
with
it,
and
we
want
to
roll
it
out
in
the
course
of
these
different
service
models.
Kind
of
a
1.0
is
our
pilot,
trying
to
normalize
it,
and
then
a
2.0
is
what
we
think
is
a
more
optimized
way
of
getting
the
city
clean
and
the
council
will
see
that
in
the
budget
process
in
the
spring.
B
B
I
I
do
just
do
know
that
on
the
enforcement
side
and
I'm
getting
a
little
bit
over
my
skis
on
the
fireworks
side,
but
I
don't
know
that
we
can
have
every
resident
reporting,
ileal
dumping
in
terms
of
being
able
to
convict
somebody.
I
do
think
it
is
a
a
city
officer,
at
some
point,
a
police
officer,
a
code
enforcement
officer,
an
environmental
enforcement
officer.
What
have
you
that
needs
to
witness
it
or
get
some
type
of
evidence?
B
It
could
be
one
where
we
just
shift
people
into
that
mode
where
we
just
make
that
decision
to
do
it,
but
there
are
other
things
that
won't
get
done.
If
we
just
immediately
made
that
decision,
I
don't
know
that
we'd
know
immediately
what
else?
Wouldn't
get
done
and
I'm
sure
there
would
be
repercussions
for
that.
So
I
don't
know
that
we're
in
the
position
right
this
minute
to
just
redeploy.
B
You
know
a
sizable
team
into
illegal
dumping
enforcement
yeah.
Maybe
maybe,
when
we
initiate
some
assessment
of
that
early
on,
we
may
say
yep
it
it
it's
the
best
use
and
the
way
to
do
it.
But
I
don't
know
that
to
be
the
case
and
it
certainly
wasn't
the
case
when
I
talked
to
the
three
departments
about
all
the
other
priorities
that
they're
working
on
in
police,
in
code
enforcement
and
in
environmental
enforcement.
M
B
M
Into
this
district
and
use
it
as
their
personal
dumping
ground
as
if
kovitch
heals
us
or
blinds
us
from
the
most
obvious,
you
know
violations
but
anyway,
the
point
is
so.
Are
you
saying
that
if
we
were
to
catch
someone
in
the
act
and
videotape
them
and
catch
the
license
plate
and
are
actually
videotaping,
this
person
dumping
it
on
the
sidewalk
that
that
would
not
be
a
case
to
find
them?
B
Let
me
let
me
see
that
what
I
would
say
is,
if
you
have,
if
anybody
in
the
community
has
video
evidence
of
somebody
illegal
dumping,
absolutely
get
that
to
us,
get
it
to
the
police
department,
and
that
is
worth
following
up
on.
I
think
undisputed
video
evidence
probably
gives
us
the
best
chance
to
prosecute
short
of
one
of
our
officers
eyewitnessing
itself.
So
so,
if
and
I
would
encourage
people
if
you
see
it
happening
video
evidence
and
get
that
to
the
city.
M
They
come
and
they
dump
it
here,
and
so
this
is
what
we've
been
dealing
with
continuously
and
and
so
the
the
question
that
I
have
is:
can
we
use
our
residence
set
up
eyes
and
and
use
a
carrot
and
a
stick
and
say:
look
if
if
you
want
to
and
can
do
it
safely
and
we
happen
to
collect
the
fine,
we
will
share
it
with
you.
In
addition
to
that,
I'm
putting
you
on
notice,
mr
illegal
dumper,
I'm
going
to
put
your
face
on
a
billboard.
M
A
Councilman
carrasco,
I
think
you're
on
to
something.
Could
we
talk
about
this
offline?
I
think
it's
ultimately
going
to
require
probably
more
city
attorney
resources,
but
I
have
an
idea
about
how
we
can
find
those
resources
without
affecting
our
budget.
I
do
think
this
is
a
really
important
idea.
I
I
just
suspect
it's
not
going
to
come
from
police
and
code
enforcement,
because
they're
stressed
doing
all
the
other
things,
but
I
think
there
is
a
path
here.
M
Okay,
that's
that's
great
I'll.
Take
it
offline!
I
I
okay!
That's
that's
fine!
I
think
mayor,
because
we
co-authored
that
policy.
I
just
think
that
we
need
to
start
figuring
out
how
to
enforce
it
and
use
our
citizens
who
are
so
frustrated
and
and
frankly,
they
want
to
change
the
narrative.
They
don't
want
to
be
seen
as
the
district
or
the
neighborhoods
that
are
are
filled
with
filth,
because
they're
they're,
tired
of
being
dumped
on.
M
A
I
agree:
I
just
got
a
text
from
one
of
your
colleagues
who
wants
to
join
in
the
conversation,
so
perhaps
nora
if
we
could
have
a
conversation,
we'll
set
something
up
among
the
four
of
us
and
anybody
from
c
manager's
office
wants
to
join
it.
I
think
there's
a
way
we
can
do
this
without
affecting,
hopefully,
staffing
resources.
M
Awesome,
thank
you
so
much
and
then,
and
then
I'll
just
I'll
just
say
I'll
just
say
one
last
thing
about
about
the
sanctioned
encampments.
You
know
I.
I
have
a
little
bit
of
a
difference
in
opinion
to
my
colleagues.
You
know
I
actually
I
actually
you
know.
I
think
we
had
had
this
conversation
very
early
on
again.
Also
when
I
first
came
on
board
six
years
ago.
M
You
know
when,
when
we
have
individuals
who
are
living
on
the
street
and
and
we
we
haven't
been
able
to
house
them
when
they're
living
in
the
creeks
and
the
trails,
you
know,
I
don't
need
to
say
repeat
this:
we
we
all
know
this.
We've
been
dealing
with
this.
You
know
it's
it's
a
an
issue
that
not
only
does
it
impact
our
environment,
but
you
know
it
it's
it's
money
that
that
that
that
could
be
used
for
so
many
other
issues.
It
costs
our
businesses,
it
costs
our
well
anyway.
M
I
can
go
on
and
on
and
on
and
and
and
to
be
able
to
figure
out
how
to
how
to
have
services
and
how
to
how
to
have
it
centralized
somewhere,
at
least
temporarily.
Even
if
we
were
able
to
pass
or
to
figure
out
how
to
sunset
a
a
local
city
policy
until
we
get
through
covid,
you
know
it
doesn't
have
to
be
an
an
indefinite
policy,
but
sunset,
maybe
over
the
next
18
months,
until
we
had
enough
production
enough
housing
units
to
house
our
our
folks
permanently.
M
M
M
F
M
Q
Thank
you
mayor.
This
is
also
a
really
good
segue
into
some
of
what
I
was
going
to
talk
about,
and
I'm
glad
that
councilmember
carrasco
is
talking
about
really
behavior
modification
is
what
we
ultimately
want,
and
I
know
that
the
department
of
transportation
knows
how
the
state
of
texas
really
changed
their
illegal
dumping
on
their
highways,
with
their
the
symptom
of
a
lot
of
systems
not
working
together
and
failing
some
of
our
residents,
and
now
we
have
them
on
our
streets,
and
so
I
guess
it.
Q
It
really
depends
on
on
the
oh
excuse
me
on
the
on
the
lenses
that
you're
looking
at,
but
I
think
there's
something
that
really
really
unifies
all
of
us,
and
that
is
that
we
all
want
to
do
our
part
in
contributing
to
the
city
of
san
jose
and
beautifying,
and
I
I
love
the
the
beautify
san
jose
title
of
program
it.
It
basically
shows
the
vision
of
what
we
want
san
jose
to
be,
and
so
I
think
that
piece
is
a
little
unfinished.
Q
But
yet
you
know
this
is
an
issue
that
that
I
think
many
of
my
colleagues
find
just
as
important.
I
will
not
shy
away
from
saying
that
this
is
not
as
important
to
me
as
making
sure
that
children
don't
fail
that
that
we
are
connected
to
the
internet,
that
people
have
access
to
a
health
provider
and
that
they're
re-employed
and
so
but
but
because
this
is
the
focus
of
today's
study
session.
Q
B
Yeah,
council
member,
the
road
map
that
we
showed
the
2021
road
map
and
the
concept
organization
that
neil
showed
has
specific
references
to
kind
of
a
communication,
education
and
enforcement
branch
or
program
or
or
initiative.
If
you
will-
and
I
think
we
recognize
the
importance
of
that,
it
starts
with
communication
and
educating
that
attempts
to
lead
to
behavior
modification.
B
We
start
with
education,
make
sure
people
are
aware,
and
they
they
know
what
the
right
thing
to
do
is
and
then
from
there
you
move
into
having
consequences
and
enforcing.
If
people
don't
kind
of
get
get
the
message
you
know
don't
mess
with
us,
etc.
It's
on
our
roadmap.
It
certainly
is
going
to
be
a
significant
resource
investment
to
kind
of
take.
Maybe
what
we've
done
in
the
past
to
limited
levels,
to
figure
out
what
is
kind
of
a
full
scope
of
a
program?
B
That's
really
going
to
have
impact
and
going
to
change,
behavior
and
going
to
have
consequences
and
and
make
it
completely
unacceptable
to
do
dumping
in
our
city.
It's
a
big
undertaking.
It's
a
big
undertaking,
because
the
departments
that
normally
do
the
enforcement
are
engaged
in
many
other
things.
There
are
many
other
things
to
enforce
in
our
city,
you're
you're,
very
aware
of
of
all
of
those
other
priorities
that
we're
dealing
with
it
is
on
our
roadmap.
Q
It's
given
us
a
community
that
knows
its
own
community
and
knows
where
to
look
and
and
has
the
ear
of
their
neighbors,
and
so
they
know
where
to
clean
up
and-
and
I
was
a
bit
disappointed
to
see
that
beautify
san
jose
grants
are
on
that
on
that
column
of
suspended
services.
At
this
point,
do
you
find
that
at
this
point
they're
not
providing
as
much?
Q
But
there's
there's
groups
that
are
really
active
that
continue
to
do
a
lot
of
online
and
that
I've
actually
been
part
of
myself
and
I
think
it
it
continues
to
build
rapport
and
community
among
among
those
members
so
that
that,
when
the
time
comes,
they
can
actually
go
outside
once
again
continue
to
do
their
litter
or
pick
up
or
at
some
point,
maybe
do
some
limited.
You
know
distance,
appropriate
distance,
litter
pickup.
Q
B
Yeah
I'll
have
olympia
briefly
get
into
that
councilmember.
I
think
that
they
are
starting
to
get
back
and
to
fulfill
the
grants
that
were
previously
awarded
to
them,
and
I
know
we've
started
back
most
all
of
our
other
beautify
sj
services,
but
but
neil
and
olympia,
any
quick
feedback
to
the
council
member
on
the
the
current
grantees
and
then
have
we
restarted
others,
or
is
that
something
that
would
be
kind
of
one
of
the
final
things
to
restart.
G
I
would
say
on
one
end,
council,
member:
the
the
effort
in
terms
of
extending
the
ability
for
the
neighborhood
groups
to
do
their
services
beyond
what
we
originally
had
issued
in
their
contract.
Right
is
a
good
thing
right.
The
in
place
effort
we
didn't
want
to
create.
You
know
an
additional
administrative
burden
that
their
grants
would
end
right
in
the
middle
of
this
pandemic.
So
just
on
the
one
end,
the
we
allowed
their
contracts
to
be
extended,
for
you
know
for
free.
G
The
I
think
the
effort
of
where
we
want
to
go
in
the
in
the
future,
with
the
beautify
san
jose
grant
is,
is
definitely
what
we
want
to
institute
you
know
going
to
next
into
the
next
fiscal
year.
I
think
one
of
our
challenges,
just
across
the
entire
system,
is
the
capacity
of
our
staff
that
are
are
managing
that
grant
system
right
here
in
park
and
rec.
G
It's
the
grant
teams
is
spread
across
both
food
branch
department,
work
plus
you
know
all
the
other
things
that
they're
working
on,
and
so
one
our
base
philosophy
was
to
try
to
minimize
the
administrative
burden
from
the
neighborhood
groups.
But
you
know
we
want
to
ensure
that
they
have
that
ability
to
do
their
services.
G
We
want
to
make
sure
that
they
are
doing
it
in
a
safe.
You
know
and
socially
distance
manner.
You
know,
as
you
know,
the
california
and
the
bay
area
we're
rapidly
changing
our
statistics.
So
you
know
we
do
want
those
residents
to
get
out
there
and
and
support
our
work.
We
want
to
make
sure
that
it's
being
done
safely
and
that
we
have
you
know
the
ability
to
to
get
them
their
grants
and
to
get
them
their
their
their
their
money
through
and
do
their
work
olympia.
Q
G
Q
I
I
I
really
appreciate
that
I
think
there's
a
lot
that
a
lot
of
folks
who
who've
come
together
because
of
litter
and
trash
and
then
in
in
that
process
have
found
companionship
and
you
know
and
joined
forces
in
other
areas
for
advocacy,
not
not
just
exclusive
to
trash
and
litter
or
the
unhoused
community,
but
primarily
there's
folks
who
who
have
a
neighborhood
association
like
the
ones
along
thompson
creek,
and
they
are
there
because
of
the
unhoused
community.
They
keep
these
issues
really
close
to
heart.
They
they,
you
know.
Q
As
you
all
know,
one
of
the
porta
parties
was
stolen
from
thompson
creek.
I
don't
know
how
that
happens.
I
don't
know
how
that
happens
discreetly,
but
but
it
happens
nonetheless,
and
and-
and
I
know
it
was
something
that
we
actually,
that
group
advocated,
I
advocated
for
it
on
their
behalf
as
well,
so
that
we
could
have
that
out
there.
Thank
you
for
replacing
it
when
these
things
happen.
I
there's
one
question
that
was
kind
of
left
on.
Q
I
guess
on
unanswered
there
was
the
cleanup
from
a
porta
potty
being
stolen.
I
know
this
is
very
specific,
but
and
if
we
want,
if
you,
if
you
want,
we
can
take
this
offline,
so
we
can
find
out
a
little
bit
more
about
that
protocol,
but
in
case
this
continues
to
happen
around
around
thompson
creek.
We
know
that
the
the
unhoused
community
there
is
is
has
been
there
for
a
really
long
time.
I
don't
anticipate
those
folks
going
anywhere.
Q
That's
basically,
their
home
they've
participated
in
keeping
the
creek
clean
and
from
what
I
understand
from
the
san
jose
from
the
water
company
valley.
Water
now
is
that
they're
one
of
the
most
cleanest
creeks
in
the
city?
Because
of
this,
and
so
I
think
it
speaks
to
this-
this
joint
effort
from
the
community
with
with
trash
pickup
and
with
the
unhoused
community,
and
I
think
it's
something
that
really
works.
I
just
don't
want
to
lose
it.
Q
I
know
that
you,
you
know
this
true
and
I
see
you
you
all
nadine,
and
so
I
I
just
want
to
make
sure
I
advocate
for
that.
I
know
that
we
had
a
couple
of
our
community
leaders
on
the
phone
from
some
of
these
neighborhood
associations
and
they
sent
us
some
messages.
Saying
one
of
them
was,
you
know
they
they
have
their
kids
at
home.
So
obviously
you
know
that
they
school
them
and
some
stuff
was
happening
at
home,
so
they
couldn't
stay
on,
but
they
want
to.
Q
Let
you
know-
and
this
is
from
the
evergreen
leadership
neighborhood
association-
is
that
they
want
you
to
know
that
they
continue
to
be
a
resource
to
you
and
want
to
remain
that
way,
and
you
know
not
too
long
ago,
maybe
about
maybe
about
a
month
ago.
They
invited
me-
and
we
did
this
with.
You-
know
of
course,
properly
distanced
in
a
properly
distanced
way.
They
beautified
an
electrical
box
on
the
corner
of
italy
and
white,
and
so
you
know
they
continue
to
do
the
work
out
there.
Q
Obviously
it's
it's
very
much
reduced
because
usually
they're
out
there
picking
up
litter
on
an
ongoing
basis,
but
you
know
everybody
has
to
to
kind
of
revise
what
they're
doing
so
anyways.
That
is
my
pitch
for
beautify
san
jose
grant
so
that
we
can
continue
to
do
those
things
so
that
our
neighborhoods
don't
feel
abandoned,
and
you
know
it
gives
them
the
resources
to
continue
to
pick
up
the
trash
to
per.
Q
Q
I
really
appreciate
that
you
had
this
the
new
kind
of
information
that
details
how
how
home
the
unhoused
community
is
notified
in
terms
of
of
clean
up,
and
I
wonder
if,
if
you
can
make
it
a
little
more
visual
in
case
there's
some
folks
who
can't
read
or
for
whatever
reasons
that
are
not
able
to
read
that
they
could
actually
see.
You
know
from
like
one
two,
three
in
a
little
visual
that
could
facilitate
that.
I
mean,
I
think
it
looks
really
really
great.
Q
Q
My
priority
right
now
is
supporting
my
community
so
that
they
can
continue
to
be
healthy,
to
continue
to
be
connected
to
a
service,
to
a
medical
provider
that
their
children
are
healthy
and
that
they're
supported
with
some
with
digi,
with
our
digital
inclusion
efforts
as
well
as
child
care,
and
so
but
but
I
do
want
to
say
thank
you
for
helping
us
with
that
this
this,
I
don't
ask
for
any
clearance
of
our
unhoused
community
lightly
I've.
Never
I
haven't
done
that
with
you.
Q
I
haven't
asked
you
to
do
that
before,
and
I
only
asked
you
and
I
advocated
for
this,
because
these
are
areas
that
we're
actually
utilizing
for
our
families
on
an
everyday
basis,
and
so
I
think
you
know
that
it
kind
of
impedes
the
right
of
way
for
those
families
and
and
the
sense
of
security
for
those
families
who
are
you
know
who
we're
providing
the
service
for
and
they're
trusting
us
with
their
children
on
an
everyday
basis.
And
so
I
really
want
to
thank
you
for
your
support
at
the
welch
park
community.
Q
I
won't
say
center
because
it's
really
a
room,
so
the
the
welsh
community
room,
but
nonetheless
I
I
I
really
appreciate
that
jim.
I
know
that
you
went
out
of
your
way
to
to
make
sure
that
you
heard
what
I
was
saying
in
terms
of
of
strategy
and
prioritizing
locations
that
that
have
our
children
and
our
families
still
attending
and
having
them
utilize,
our
our
actual
city,
buildings
and
facilities.
So
I
really
appreciate
that.
Q
I
appreciate
you
honoring,
that
that
request-
and
not
only
just
for
me-
because
I
never
only
advocate
just
for
my
own,
but
that
really
is
and
really
I
only
have-
I
think-
that
locate
two
locations
in
my
district,
but
for
the
rest
of
our
city,
because
this
is
really
impacts,
our
families
and
our
children.
So
thank
you
so
much
for
the
work
that
you're
doing
sarah
rick
olympia-
neil
of
course
jim.
Q
D
Yes,
thanks
mayor,
I
know
we're
past
time,
so
I'm
gonna
be
really
quick
here.
There
was
talk
earlier
about,
you
know,
don't
mess
with
texas.
I
think
that's
a
great
idea,
I'm
I'm
from
texas
and
I
grew
up
watching
those
ads.
I
I
just
want
to
say
that
that
there's
something
unique
not
just
with
the
ads
but
with
the
state
of
texas
and
there's
a
sense
of
pride
there.
That
is
part
country,
music
and
part
just
kind
of
this.
D
This
myth
making
about
you
know
texas,
texas,
experience
exceptionalism
and
you
know
having
superstars,
like
willie
nelson,
go
on
tv
and
sing
things
like
you
know:
mamas,
don't
let
don't
let
your
babies
mess
with
texas,
so
I
I
think
that's
a
hard
thing
to
to
replicate.
You
know
just
in
san
jose,
if
not
california,
but
I
support
that
kind
of
civic
pride
building
to
whatever
extent
we
can
do
it,
but
it's
not
just
paintings
of
a
trash
can
don't
mess
with
san
jose.
D
It's
it's
really
more
about
building
this
the
sense
of
san
jose,
and
that
speaks
not
just
to
beautifying
san
jose
but
more
to
the
work
that
we've
already
done
with
hashtag.
You
know
we
are
san
jose
and
all
that,
but
bringing
the
community
together
in
this
united,
you
know
again
sense
of
civic
pride,
we're
not
just
the
vietnamese
community
or
the
hispanic
community
or
or
whatever
it
may
be.
D
We
are
san
jose
and
building
on
that,
I
think
there's
some
way
to
go,
but
my
real
questions,
though,
were
having
to
do
with.
I
remember
about.
I
forget
how
long
I
want
to
say
over
a
year
now
at
a
vta
board
meeting
our
vta
study
session.
Mr,
I
think
tony
tavares,
the
the
district
four
caltrans
representative.
D
He
mentioned
that
he
was
working
on
funding
people
to
pick
up
trash
in
santa
clara
county
on
caltrans
land,
and
it
was
just
a
few
people,
but
there
would
be
a
dedicated
group
of
folks
and
then
I
I
try
to
follow
up
on
that
thread,
but
I
don't
know
that
it
ever
happened.
Does
anybody
know
if
caltrans
has
a
dedicated
group
of
like
two?
Three:
five
people
going
around
and
picking
up
sites
off
of
freeways.
B
We're
working
very
closely
with
director
tavares
and
his
team
council
member.
They
have
their
caltrans
teams.
They
also
have
there's
a
county-wide
agreement
that
they
direct
and
guide
using
the
california
conservation
corps
to
do
work
in
santa
clara
county
on
caltrans
property,
so
they
certainly
have
dedicated
resources,
or
these
are
duties
of
people
that
work
in
our
city
in
the
county.
B
B
A
Is
they
weren't
able
to
even
keep
people
working
here
and
they
weren't
devoting
the
resources
anyway?
And
so
many
of
us
pushed
including
senator
bell
and
myself
and
others,
and
we
pushed
for
them
to
sign
deals
with
the
conservation
corps
through
the
county
and
ultimately,
as
well
with
I'm
trying
to
remember.
I
think
there
was
another
organization
and
then
obviously
to
do
a
better
job
of
getting
folks
here
and
we're
trying
to
literally
help
them
hire
people
for
the
caltrans
staff
and
get
them
through
the
medical
clearance
and
everything
else.
The
bottom
line
is.
A
D
Okay,
thank
you
mayor.
Thank
you,
jim.
I
guess
that
answers
my
question.
I
guess
it
didn't
follow
through
with
what
I
was
hoping
that
would
happen,
but
it
seems
to
have
resources.
So,
let's,
let's
keep
working
with
them
and
pushing
my
second
and
final
question
is
it
has
to
do
with
the
mastercard
for
the
capture
trash
program
during
the
pandemic.
D
But
my
the
point
is:
I
now
have
a
bunch
of
50
gift
cards
and
trying
to
spend
them
is
not
as
easy
as
you
would
think.
It's
good
as
cash,
but
you
know
you
go
and
you
buy
slurpee
or
whatever,
and
you
draw
down
the
card
and
eventually
there's
a
balance
of
like
you
know:
five
dollars
and
six
cents
on
the
card
and
you're
trying
to
buy
dinner,
that's
or
a
subway
sandwich,
or
something
that's
like
15.
D
and,
and
you
know,
or
even
if
there's
just
like
five
cents
left
on
the
card
like
how
do
where
do
you
go
to
charge
five
cents
off
the
card?
So
I
guess
what
I'm
asking
is:
are
the
the
cards
reloadable
and
and
if
we're
just
handing
them
out
with
a
max
of
20
upper
limit,
are
we
are
we
contemplating
how
difficult
it
is
actually
spend
dollars
like
you
know,
to
buy
things
in
increments
of
20?
At
a
time
you
go
to
a
store.
J
Oh,
yes,
though,
these
are
reloadable
mastercard.
So
if
we
load
twenty
dollars
on
the
card
and
a
person
spends
ten
and
the
next
time
they
participate
in
the
program,
we
will
load.
Another
20
on
their
money
continues
to
remain
on
the
card.
So
it's
not
treated
like
a
gift
card
where
a
person
has
to
go
in
and
say
I
have
exactly
ten
dollars
and
eight
cents
on
the
card
to
try
to
use.
D
J
Yes,
I
can
definitely
send
you
more
detailed
information,
but
those
that
participate.
This
is
a
mastercard
city,
possible
programs.
That
card
can
be
used
for
a
multitude
of
things,
including
banking,
other
social
services
programs.
If
a
person
has
a
job,
they
can
also
have
their
paycheck
loaded
onto
their
card
as
well.
So
a
person
could
have
access
to
a
debit
card
and
purchase
items
to
kind
of
start.
A
banking
history
I'll
definitely
send
your
I'll.
Send
you
some
additional
information
about
the
city
possible
card
and
program
and
how
that
works.
D
A
Thank
you
any
other
questions
from
any
colleagues.
I
know
I
think,
we've
exhausted
staff
on
this.
I
want
to
really
thank
everybody
for
hanging
around
an
extra
40
minutes.
I
know
there's
been
a
lot
of
talk
about,
you
know,
don't
mess
with
texas
and
other
kinds
of
slogans.
I
could
tell
you,
but
we
have
been
exploring
this.
I
think
when
we
launched
beautify
san
jose
our
beautify
sj,
it
was
kitty
cessueta
who
had
15
or
20
years
experience
in
marketing
and
worked
with
us,
and
I
think
I
can't
remember.
A
I
think
it
was
paul
pereira
and
katie
came
up
with
beautify
sj
and
we
thought
it
was
great,
but
we
are
always
open
to
new
slogans
and
new
monikers.
We
could
use
to
get
people
motivated
because
we
know
this
is
going
to
take
a
village
because,
let's
face
it,
we
got
a
very
heavily
populated
village
to
clean
here
in
san
jose.
So
anyway
really
appreciate
all
the
great
work
being
done
by
everybody
on
the
city
team.
We
know
there's
a
lot
more
to
do,
but
I
think
we're
off
to
a
great
start
thanks.
