We
have
a
few
ceremonial
items,
so
first
councilmember
mccrosco
will
join
me
at
the
podium
we're
going
to
recognize
and
Proclaim
Native
American
heritage
month
and
I
know.
We
have
a
few
friends
here.
Welcome
Pedro
and
Tamara
foreign.
J
Good
afternoon,
everybody
I
hope
you
all
enjoyed
your
break
and
I
hope
that
you're
healthier
than
the
Carrasco
household,
it's
my
honor
to
Proclaim
November
as
Native
American,
Heritage
Month.
We
recognize
this
month
as
a
time
to
acknowledge
the
contributions
of
the
and
the
diverse
culture,
the
rich
traditions
and
the
important
histories
of
native
peoples.
J
J
Biases
throughout
our
community
teachers.
We've
made
sure
we
acknowledge
our
ancestors
and
the
land.
We
now
stand
on
and
I'm
proud
of,
supporting
as
well
our
local
events.
This
year
we
celebrated
the
24th
annual
meshika
New
Year
festivities,
the
largest
congregation
in
the
world
at
our
beautiful
Emma
push
Park.
We
witness
the
incredible
moment
when
the
muekma
aloni
tribe
did
their
ceremonial
dance
that
had
not
been
performed
in
over
150
years
and
as
a
city
we're
taking
strikes
and
recognizing
the
legacy
of
our
indigenous
communities
as
we
embedded
a
land
recognition
into
our
city
Charter.
J
In
a
time
where
the
mainstream
has
struggled
to
acknowledge
that
which
is
not
mainstream.
This
Proclamation
and
our
actions
serve
to
honor
our
native
peoples.
We
know
that
the
moleca
alone
and
other
native
groups
were
nearly
annihilated
to
disease
and
to
force
labor
before
the
European
contact.
At
least
three
hundred
thousand
native
people
who
spoke,
135,
distinct
dialects
lived
in
what
is
now
California,
this
per
the
Library
of
Congress
by
1848.
J
Here
in
San
Jose,
we
stand
on
the
unseated
native
land
of
the
mueka
aloni,
faithful
stewards
of
the
land
people
who
once
lived
in
about
4.3
million
acres
in
the
Bay
Area,
but
Federal
negligence
and
Anthropologist
A.L
krober's
1925
assessment
that
native
Californians
were
quote
extinct
for
all
practical
purposes.
End
quote:
let
the
federal
government
to
First
strip
the
muh
aloni
of
their
land
and
then
deny
them
Federal
recognition.
J
This
has
dire
consequences.
Even
a
hundred
years
later,
we
recognize
their
ancestral
presence
in
this
land.
We
call
home
the
art
and
culture
of
native
peoples
is
mostly
exhibited
through
the
lens
of
the
oppressor
and
in
relation
to
the
past,
which
strips
it
from
its
Humanity.
It's
often
suspended
in
history
divorced
from
contemporary
relevance.
J
I
bring
this
Proclamation
forward
to
say
that
native
people
are
not
on
view
for
us,
but
instead
we
are
in
conversation
and
in
dialogue
with
them.
Thank
you
all
and
I
want
to
thank
especially
Tamara
and
Pedro
and
Pedro
aquiwa
Perez,
who
have
been
my
mentors
in
this
journey
over
the
last
eight
years.
J
J
That
program
serves
San,
Mateo,
Santa,
Clara,
Santa,
Cruz,
Monterey
and
San
Benito.
The
portfolio
invests
four
million
dollars
annually
to
advance
creative,
environmental
and
Civic
organizations
that
connect
people
with
art,
nature
and
their
communities,
creating
a
unique
sense
of
place
for
all
what
a
perfect
place
for
you.
K
J
L
Okay,
all
right!
Thank
you!
Thank
you!
Councilwoman
Carrasco
and
thank
you
mayor
licardo,
for
this
opportunity,
and
you
know
we'll
be
brief.
Thank
you.
So
much
for
sharing
a
bit
about
the
Molex,
Maloney
and
I'd
like
to
also
acknowledge
the
great
work
of
the
Maloney
Tribal
Council,
their
official
name
as
the
moak
Maloney
tribe,
of
the
San
Francisco
Bay
Area,
and
also
thankful
to
chairwoman,
Charlene
nishma
for
her
leadership
and
her
friendship
with
us
and
with
calpolito.
L
Indeed,
we
did
have
the
first
time
in
over
100
years,
this
past
March
at
Emma
press
Park,
our
beloved
Park
ceremonial
Park,
which
is
now
a
Sacred
Space.
Many
years
now,
we've
been
there
and
really
allowing
for
us
to
work
together
to
have
the
first
ever
Kelly
native
nights.
L
There
also
another
first
in
in
San
Jose,
so
I
wanted
to
share
a
little
bit
about
that
and
just
wanted
to
share
a
little
bit
of
research
that
Pedro
aqui,
Watson
and
I
did
on
the
national
National
Native
American
heritage
month,
which,
by
the
way,
didn't
just
start
happening,
and
this
started
as
one
of
the
proponent
proponents
of
then
American
Indian
day
was
by
Dr
Arthur
C
Parker,
a
Seneca
Indian,
who
was
at
the
time
the
director
of
the
Museum
of
Arts
and
Science
in
Rochester
in
New
York,
and
he
actually
persuaded
the
Boy
Scouts
of
America
to
set
aside
a
day
for
first
Americans.
A
L
L
Basically,
what
we're
looking
at
is
in
1990
President
George
H.W
bush
approved
a
joint
resolution
designating
November
national
American,
Indian
Heritage
Month
and,
of
course,
as
you
know,
as
time
goes
on,
we
grow
and
we
evolve,
and
we
call
things
now:
a
Native
American,
Heritage
Month,
and
these
have
been
issued
nationally
since
1994..
L
So
this
is
just
to
add
a
little
bit
of
context
that
what
we're
doing
today
collectively
is
actually
happening
across
our
country
and
has
already
some
history
all,
although
I
think
94
is
recent,
so
I
wanted
to
round
that
out
and
also
because
I
promised
feather
I
would
let
him
get
at
least
a
paragraph
on
the
mic.
It's
my
husband
by
the
way
he
tolerates
me.
M
Thank
you
I'm,
usually
just
the
husband
and
I
just
get
to
stand
here
and
she
says:
look
pretty
I,
don't
know
about
that
to
round
out
our
time
here,
informally,
proclaiming
from
our
great
city
of
San,
Jose,
National,
National,
Native,
American,
Heritage
Month.
We
also
formally
ask
you
each
of
you
to
think
about
how
you
can
honor
not
only
the
local
native
culture
and
communities,
but
those
that
are
present
in
our
city
from
across
the
Americas.
M
We
appreciate
the
opportunity,
also
as
members
and
leaders
of
calpolito,
to
invite
you
to
the
fifth
annual
25th
Annual
Aztec
New
Year
celebration
in
March.
We,
where
we,
where
our
own
commitment
to
nurturing
inter-tribal
relationships,
can
be
seen,
heard
and
experienced.
L
So
just
so
everybody
knows
these
are
small
bags
of
tobacco
and
it
is
a
formal
way
of
saying
thank
you,
but
also
of
being
in
relationship,
because
when
you
ask
and
we've
made
that
request
right,
how
can
you
Center
native
communities
in
your
work
and
that's
you
know-
for
the
staff
and
those
of
us
in
the
community
and
the
elected
officials
here
in
the
room?
So
that's
what
we're
doing
okay
and
it
is
worth
less
than
fifty
dollars.
B
All
right,
thank
you
and
thank
you
for
the
gift,
all
right,
councilmember
Foley's,
making
her
way
down.
We
are
going
to
Proclaim
and
recognize
World
AIDS
day
and
I.
Think
we
may
have
some
members
of
the
community
to
join
us.
B
K
I
want
to
give
a
shout
out
to
my
cousin
Dan,
who
sent
me
this
picture
today,
not
knowing
that
I
was
going
to
do
a
proclamation
in
acknowledgment
of
world
AIDS
day
aids
awareness
day.
So
his
presentation
to
her
to
his
photograph
to
me
was
timely.
This
is
my
brother,
Tim
and
I'm
going
to
tell
you
a
little
bit
about
this
good
afternoon.
I'm
council,
member
Pam,
Foley
and
I
represent
District
9.
K
I'm
honored
to
recognize
this
Thursday
December
1st,
as
World
AIDS
day,
beginning
in
1988
and
recognized
annually
on
December
1st
World
AIDS
day
is
a
global
event
to
remember
those
who
have
lost
their
lives
to
aids-related
illnesses
and
to
honor
and
support
those
living
and
and
affected
by
HIV.
Aids
World
AIDS
day
unites
people
worldwide
to
show
support
for
the
more
than
1.2
million
people
living
with
HIV
AIDS
in
the
United
States
in
the
approximately
38
million
people
living
with
HIV
AIDS
worldwide.
K
This
Proclamation
has
deep
personal
meaning
to
me.
Many
of
you
have
heard
this
story
again,
but
it's
important
to
share
again.
26
years
ago,
when
I
was
pregnant.
With
my
daughter
Caitlin,
my
brother
Tim
died
of
AIDS
related
complications
prior
to
his
passing,
I
wrote
him
a
letter
attempting
to
give
him
the
strength
to
live
long
enough
to
meet
his
niece.
K
Aids
Memorial
quilts
Beyond
will
be
on
display
in
the
Rotunda
beginning
at
10,
and
if
you
have
not
seen
the
a
any
of
the
AIDS
quilts,
please
take
advantage
of
this
opportunity.
They
are
moving
their
memorable.
It's
a
a
tear-jerking
experience.
So
bring
your
Kleenex,
then
we
will
have
a
flag-raising
ceremony
in
the
West
Plaza
at
one
o'clock,
followed
by
a
candlelight
vigil
outside
of
the
rotunda
at
5
30..
K
Please
join
us,
as
we
use
this
day
to
remember
those
that
have
been
impacted
by
HIV,
AIDS
and
recommit
ourselves,
against
the
disease
itself
and
against
the
stigma
and
discrimination
that
has
been
tied
to
it
for
far
too
long
mayor
licarta.
Will
you
please
present
this
proclamation
to
the
Santa
Clara
County
World
AIDS
day,
Community,
Committee
and
Nicole?
Would
you
like
to
say
a
few
words.
N
Thank
you
very
much.
Pam
I,
you
always
hit
all
the
points
and
I'm
left
with
almost
nothing
to
say
my
name's
Nicole
tomorrow,
I
use
she
her
pronouns
I
am
part
alongside
multiple
non-profit
organizations,
Community
organizations
Public
Health,
getting
to
zero.
The
HIV
commission
as
part
of
the
Santa
Clara
County
World
AIDS
Day
committee
each
year,
World
AIDS
day
comes
December
1st,
and
it
is
important
that
we
don't
forget.
N
We
don't
forget
where
we
came
from
it
wasn't
too
long
ago
that
this
disease
this
pandemic.
This
epidemic
was
a
death
sentence
for
many
many
in
the
lgbtq
plus
community,
and
that
death
sentence
was
used
to
to
spread
hate
against
the
lgbtq
plus
community.
And
you
know
it's
not
that
far
back
when
we
saw
thousands
upon
thousands
of
our
siblings
pass
away
from
this
disease,
where
people
didn't
even
want
to
speak
about
it,
it
was
a
hush-hush
secret
that
you
didn't
want
to
talk
about,
but
we've
progressed
a
long
way,
but
not
far
enough.
N
That's
why
it's
important
that
every
day
we
highlight
to
this
date,
we
commemorate
those
that
we
have
lost
and
we
continue.
The
fight
against
this
disease
is
not
just
a
queer
disease.
It's
not
just
a
gay
disease.
It's
a
worldwide
disease
and,
as
we
saw
the
monkey
pox
come
come
about
this
past
year
and
it
wanted
to
again
be
labeled
a
gay
disease.
N
You
saw
people
in
our
community
mobilize,
we
weren't
going
to
go
back
to
the
time
of
Shame
and
we
weren't
going
to
go
back
to
spreading
these
lies
and
this
hate
and
making
it
a
gay
disease.
But
we
mobilized,
we
passed
out
vaccinations
and
the
community
really
stepped
up
at
bars
and
community
events.
N
So
it's
things
like
this.
It's
lessons
like
this
that
have
been
learned
and
that
we
will
continue
to
learn
from
and
why
it
is
so
important
that
we
continue
the
fight
against
HIV
and
AIDS
that
we
will
not
quit
until
we
get
to
zero
zero
new
infections,
zero
new
deaths
and
zero
transmit
transmittance.
So
thank
you,
Pam
Foley,
thank
you,
mayor
licardo
and
all
the
city
council,
council,
member
Perales
for
always
supporting
the
state.
It's
very
important
not
only
to
our
community
but
the
community
at
large.
So
we
appreciate
it.
Thank
you.
B
Thank
you
all
and
thank
you
councilmember
Foley
for
courageously
sharing
your
loss,
we're
joined
Now
by
Mario
and
Emma
Ramirez
and
they're,
making
their
way
down
because
councilmember
Jimenez
has
something
to
say
about
yeah
a
few
things
to
say.
Yes,
welcome,.
O
Thank
you
Noreen
and
Terry.
If
you
want
to
come
down
as
well,
I
I,
although
I
know
Terry
likes
cameras,
we
may
want
to
take
a
photo
but
join
us.
Please,
because
we're
going
to
take
a
photo
after
it
so
good
afternoon,
today,
I'm
very
honored
to
to
recognize
two
members
of
the
district
2
community
and,
quite
frankly,
they're
two
of
my
favorite
people
and
you'll
learn
a
little
bit
about
why
I've
seen
them
at
many
different
places,
I
some
that
I
won't
mention.
O
But
on
any
day
of
any
given
day
of
the
year,
you
can
find
photos
of
them
traveling
spending
time
together
enjoying
life
with
friends
and
family.
And
if
you
look
closely,
you
can
also
find
them
dancing
the
night
away
at
festivals,
I've
seen
again,
I've
seen
them
everywhere,
and
let
me
just
tell
the
say
this
very
publicly
is
that
I
want
to
be
like
them
when
I
grow
up
and
and
so
I
very
much
appreciate
everything
you
do.
O
But
let
me
tell
you
why
we're
here
to
celebrate
and
acknowledge
the
good
work
of
Emma
and
Mario
Ramirez,
Emma
and
Mario
have
lived
in
the
Coyote
Creek
neighborhood
association
in
South
San
Jose,
for
over
30
years.
They
raced
their
two
sons:
graduates
of
local
high
schools
who
have
gone
forward
to
amazing,
to
be
amazing
contributors
like
their
parents
within
their
own
respective
communities.
O
Mario
and
Emma
are
a
very
rare,
selfless
couple
that
are
always
thinking
about
others,
they're
an
outstanding
example
of
what
it
means
to
be
Community
leaders-
and
here
are
just
a
few
just
a
few
examples
of
some
of
the
stuff
that
they've
done:
beautify,
SJ
anti
graffiti
and
litter
volunteers,
Boy
Scouts
of
America
troop
leader,
Mario,
Boy,
Scouts
of
America
troop
mom,
Emma
recipients
of
the
district
2
Community
beautification
grants.
They
have
held
active
roles
with
the
Coyote
Creek
neighborhood
association
in
various
respects.
O
O
The
reason
I
share
all
that
I
think
it's
sometimes
we
don't
ourselves,
give
ourselves
enough
credit,
so
I
think
it's
important
for
you
to
hear
just
a
snapshot
of
all
the
great
work
that
you've
been
doing
because
I
think
hearing
it
out
loud
and
hear
it
you're
like
we
really
did
all
that.
So
I
just
wanted
to
say
that
that's
why
I
listed
it
all
off
so
Mario
and
Emma
are
leaders
deserving
of
acknowledgment
and
celebration
for
their
achievements
and
impact.
O
They
have
dedicated
their
time
and
skills
to
making
their
Community
a
better
place
for
all
of
us
and
I
know.
We
have
some
District
2
residents
here
today,
so
I
want
you
to
join
me
in
a
little
bit
to
give
them
a
round
of
applause
but
I'm
honored
to
commend
them
today
for
their
Community,
continued
volunteerism,
dedication
to
community
service
and
a
positive
impact
on
District
Two
and
really
overall
for
being
a
wonderful
people
really
who
epitomize
being
a
public
servant.
So
we
want
to
congratulate
you.
R
Q
Q
O
O
B
All
right,
finally,
last
but
not
least
Chris
Patterson
Simmons
are
you
here
with
us?
Please
come
on
down
other
shoes.
All
right
council
member
Perales
will
be
describing.
Chris
is
great
work
on
behalf
of
the
community.
E
Having
known
and
worked
with
Chris
for
nearly
a
decade
now,
I
can
personally
speak
to
her
commitment
in
making
our
city
a
better
place,
not
just
for
her
family
and
newborn
grandson,
which
I
know
she's
very
proud
about,
but
for
all
the
families
and
residents
here
today
there
are
not
many
Community
leaders
like
Chris,
and
it
has
been
a
true
pleasure
working
with
you
throughout
these
years,
Chris
and
now
I,
along
with
my
Council
colleagues,
would
like
to
present
this
Commendation
to
Chris
Patterson
Simmons
for
her
many
years
of
service
and
dedication
to
our
city
and
I'll,
invite
her
to
say
a
few
words.
S
First,
given
honor
to
God
Raul's
like
a
little
brother
to
me,
this
is
just
wonderful.
I
know
this
will
probably
be
my
last
hurray
here
unless
I
get
to
know
our
new
mayor
coming
in,
but
I'm
not
going
to
con.
S
Stop
the
fight
that
I
have
started
a
long
time
ago
with
making
things
better
in
our
Corridor,
which
is
about
beautification
safety
equality,
so
I'm
gonna
have
to
just
keep
it
going
for
Raul
because
he's
going
to
be
gone
now
and
but
he's
not
going
to
be
gone
out
of
our
city,
he's
still
the
police
officer,
yeah
I
got
to
support
our
officers.
Also
continually
continually
I
want
to
actually
turn
the
Baton
over
to
another
person
in
leadership
as
president,
but
no
one
has
stepped
up
I'm
not
supposed
to
be
the
president.
S
This
long
I
want
to
see
another
female
in
leadership.
You
know
it's
only
fair
and
to
continue
to
teach
our
business
owners,
our
resources
and
what's
important
in
our
community,
so
they'll
know
what
to
do
so.
They're,
not
frustrated
in
short,
a
lot
of
people.
They
think
they
have
to
call
the
police
for
homeless
situations
or
people.
Just
sitting
around
or
vagrants:
that's
not
that's
not
what
it's
about.
S
It's
been
a
joy
for
eight
years
and
I'm
gonna
continue
the
fight
and
I
appreciate
this
honor.
Thank
you,
foreign.
B
All
right
we
are
blessed
to
live
in
this
community.
All
right.
Thank
you
to
all
the
members
of
the
community
who
came
to
receive
accommodations,
we'll
move
on
now
to
the
orders
of
the
day.
B
I
know
there
are
a
few
items
see
here
to
be
added.
We
have
a
new
item,
2.2
request
for
travel
and
excused
absence,
I'm,
sorry,
2.20
and
3.4
boards
and
commissions
appointments,
which
would
be
added
under
orders
of
the
day.
If
two-thirds
in
the
this
Council
agrees
and
if
there
are
any
other
changes
we'll
go
to
those
first
before
I
go
to
council
member
Foley.
Let
me
just
see
if
anyone
had
any
other
changes
to
the
orders
of
the
day.
B
Okay,
I,
don't
I,
know
councilmember
Foley
like
to
adjourn
today's
meeting
in
memory
of
Donna
Jewett,
who
passed
away
on
September
23rd.
T
B
K
Ments
are
usually
something
that
I
would
do
sitting
at
the
Deus,
but
I
felt
it
was
really
important
to
bring
forward
Mr,
George,
Jewett
and
police
chief
Mata
and
I'll.
Tell
you
why,
as
it
relates
to
Donna
Jewett
I'm
honored
today
to
recognize
the
life
of
Donna
Jewett,
who
passed
away
on
September
23
2022.,
Donna,
Ferrara,
Ferraro
Jewett
was
a
California
native
born
in
Merced
and
lived
in
District
9
for
most
of
her
adult
life.
K
This
was
a
time
when
female
officers
were
required
to
wear
skirts
and
heels.
Can
you
imagine
wearing
heels
and
a
skirt
while
conducting
Police
business
Chief?
Can
you,
after
a
few
after
a
few
years
in
active
duty,
she
moved
to
the
central
identification
unit
there.
She
became
the
first
female
supervisor
for
this
unit,
and
was
it
was
a
lead
on
many
investigations
using
fingerprinting
analysis.
K
Thank
you
to
police
chief
Mata
for
being
present
today
to
show
respect
for
this
Phenomenal
Woman.
She
was
also
the
first
female
president
of
the
California
state
division,
International
Association
for
identification.
She
served
on
this
Federated
Retirement
Board
for
many
years
on
for
the
city's
Retirement
Board
for
many
years,
and
the
first
female
president
of
the
San
Jose
Willow
Glen
Lions
Club.
She
was
of
inspiring
woman
and
leader.
K
She
was
active
in
the
Lions
Club
and
at
Saint
Francis
Episcopal
Church,
where
I
came
to
know
her
and
her
husband
George
nearly
30
years.
Nearly
20
years
ago,
Donna's
greatest
Joys
was,
though
her
family
George,
her
husband
of
40
years,
who
joins
us
in
Chambers.
Today,
her
children,
Jim
May
and
Paula
Kathy
and
art,
and
Dave
and
Tish
her
nine
grandchildren
and
her
five
great-grandchildren
Donna
also
also
deeply
loved
her
in-laws,
Mac
and
Geneva
tinker,
and
on
a
personal
level.
K
Donna
and
George
offered
me
guidance
and
support
for
throughout
the
past
20
years,
when
I
needed
a
knee
replacement,
Donna
recommended
her
surgeon
and
I
am
grateful.
She
did
because
of
her
recommendation.
I
can
move
in
a
pain-free
way.
I
will
always
think
of
her
as
I
walk
down
the
hallway
and
someday
even
run
down
the
hallway,
because
of
my
new
knee
I'm
grateful
to
Donna
for
her
service
to
our
city
and
our
Greater
Community
I
am
blessed
to
call
her
my
friend
and
honored
to
endure
this
meeting
in
her
name.
Thank
you.
A
B
A
U
Hi
we're
Beekman
here
I
was
having
a
bit
of
trouble
here
at
Tony's
voice.
I
hope
my
voice
is
coming
through.
Okay,
it's
not
my
end.
I
just
wanted
to
thank
you
for
offering
public
comment
on
on
adjustments
to
the
agenda
today
and
the
addition
of
an
additional
item.
U
I,
don't
quite
know
what
that
item
is
yet
I
would
like
to
look
it
up
and
just
a
reminder
in
the
importance
that
once
an
item
is
is
announced
within
the
public
meeting
agenda,
it
does
have
a
right
for
public
comment
on
each
item.
I
hope
that's
an
issue.
We
can
talk
about
more
in
the
coming
years
of
San
Jose.
Thank
you.
B
E
B
All
right
we're
on
to
the
closed
session
report,
Nora.
V
B
I'm
not
seeing
any
hands
virtually,
so
we
will
go
to
public
comment
on
the
entire
consent
agenda.
W
Mocked
a
Native
American
day
Heritage
and
the
acknowledgment
on
the
city
level
is
mocked
when
you're
putting
land
issues
on
the
consent.
Calendar
Native,
American
history
is
simply
about
land.
That's
all
it
is
land,
takeovers,
okay,
so
you
this
city
box.
It's
acknowledgment
in
in
this.
This
really
high-minded,
principled
position
that
it
takes
in
acknowledging
Native
American
history.
But
yet
you
will
put
items
on
this
consent
calendar,
but.
W
Absolute
issue
on
18
in
July,
14th
of
1846.,
so
until
we
get
to
a
point
as
a
city,
okay
to
where
we
can
start
talking
about
these
land
issues
and
not
running
them
all
the
way
through
the
consent
calendar,
namely
specifically,
is
the
one
that
has
to
do
with
deferring
the
taxes
on
the
downtown
high-rises
I
want
that
money
and
I
want
it
now,
because
if
there
ever
was
a
time
when
we
needed
those
dollars
from
these
billionaires,
we
need
it
right
now.
W
Okay,
in
the
month
of
December
last
year,
five
people
died
of
exposure
that
was
on
their,
that
was
on
their
death
certificates,
exposure,
five
of
them,
okay,
by
which
afterwards,
this
mayor
and
this
Council
assumed
full
responsibility
for
that
and
that
the
people
that
are
out
there.
It
is
not
their
responsibility,
but
it
was
the
failures
of
this
council's
housing
policies
that
created
that
situation.
So
we
need
the
money.
Okay
billionaires
can
do
without
they
got
that
money
in
their
ashtray.
W
So
when
we're
talking
about
land
use
and
we're
talking
about
American
Heritage
month
and
Native
American
month,
we
don't
want
your
lip
service.
Give
us
back.
Our
land,
that's
what
we
want.
We
don't
want
your
lip
service,
we
want
the
land.
Thank
you.
L
U
All
right,
well
item
2.11
and
the
many
positives
are
soon
previous
mayor.
Licardo
has
helped
try
to
build
a
San
Jose
City
government
is
still
not
very
good
and
needs
to
better
learn
how
to
more
openly
speak
to
the
public
meeting
space
in
public
meeting
spaces
about
all
of
the
surveillance,
Tech
and
data
collection,
uses
and
capabilities
with
smart
Street
like
technology,
new
Broadband,
5G
and
electronic
Billboards,
and
where
all
of
this
data
is
then
being
taken
to
once
it
leaves
our
well-intentioned
local
Sanctuary,
City
and
civil
protection
policies.
U
Berkeley
local
government
and
its
everyday
community
in
the
past
year
have
proven
that
we
still
can
work
together
that
we
can
all
work
together
and
that
we
can
all
ask
for
and
work
towards,
continual
good
adjustments
of
better
and
better
Community
civil
protections
and
accountability
with
local
law
enforcement,
surveillance,
Tech
and
local
commercial
data
collection,
Community,
civil
protections,
openness
and
accountability
practices
is
subject
matter
that
we
should
not
have
to
fear
to
more
openly
discuss
to
honestly
ask
yourselves.
Why
are
we
currently
afraid
to
with
these
questions
in
mind
for
item
2.11?
U
Do
we
really
need
four
or
five
versions
of
the
same
surveillance
and
data
collection,
technology,
energy
in
a
local
neighborhood
area,
when
one
piece
of
technology
can
do
the
exact
same
work
and
cover
about
as
much
territory
in
a
local
neighborhood?
I
am
hoping
that
already
well
established.
Minimum
use
and
deployment
practices
can
connect
with
the
common
sense
practicalities.
U
The
mayor
elect
currently
tries
to
speak
of
or
likes
to,
speak
of,
and
I
am
hoping
that
all
parts
of
the
San
Jose
Community
will
want
to
continue
to
add
to
a
maturing
dialogue
that
seems
to
be
taking
place
between
everyday
community
and
city
government
staff
and
then
how
to
better
address
a
number
of
local
issues
at
this
time.
I'm
hopeful
how
this
current
evolution
of
shared
good
practices
and
dialogue,
and
that
can
also
include
this
public
comment
to
continue
into
the
next
mayoral
Administration.
Thank
you.
C
C
B
You
all
right,
we
have
the
land
use,
consent
agenda
up
next
10.1,
A
and
B.
These
are
designations
of
City
landmarks
and
historic
property.
Would
anyone
like
to
pull
an
item
off
the
land
use
consent
calendar
I'm,
not
seeing
any
hands?
Let's
take
a
public
comment
on
that
item.
W
W
I
think
I
know
a
little
bit
about
establishing
historical
landmarks
in
this
city,
considering
Sacred
Heart,
Church,
Cesar,
Chavez
home
the
the
original
headquarters
of
Lowrider
magazine
on
282
Willow
Street,
which
happens
to
be
only
just
across
the
street,
from
Sacred
Heart
Church,
both
of
those
and
the
second
headquarters
of
Lowrider
magazine
I,
got
established
into
the
San
Jose
historical
inventory,
which
is
the
precursor
to
becoming
historical
landmarks.
Okay.
W
I,
don't
have
the
money
to
buy
a
building
that
do
have
the
history
and
knowledge
to
establish
the
history
that
went
on
in
these
buildings
and
that's
how
we're
taking
the
land
back
we're
going
to
continue
taking
the
land
back
until
this
city
comes
to
a
point
where
it's
able
to
deal
with
this
as
equals,
because
why
should
I
have
to
fight
the
citizen
as
a
Native
American?
As
a
Chicano,
why
is
it
that
we
have
to
fight
for
something
that
is
constitutionally
guaranteed,
which
is
due
process
of
law
and
equal
protection
under
the
law?
W
Why
is
it
that
the
Chicano
has
to
continue
to
fight
for
something
that
is
constitutionally
guaranteed?
The
city
has
to
ask
itself
that
question:
I,
don't
I,
don't,
because
I
have
no
Illusions
about
what
it
is,
that
I
have
a
right
to
I,
know
exactly
what
I
have
a
right
to
do,
and
that
is
due
process
and
equal
protection
law,
which
is
the
two
things
that
were
denied
us
via
the
redlining
policies
of
1939.
C
U
Hi,
where
have
you
been
here
thanks?
A
lot
for
the
words
of
Paul
Soto
he's
been
on
two
important
projects
now
that
that
is
helping
to
find
the
future
of
our
city
and
historical
landmark
issues,
the
the
statue
and
I
guess
the
low
rider
issues
and
and
San
Pedro
issues
and
he's
working
on
issues
around
the
previous
San
Jose,
City
Hall,
so
I.
U
Thank
you
for
his
work
and
his
efforts
and
a
reminder
that
every
person
has
a
good
idea
in
mind
and
luckily,
hopefully
they
can
share
those
good
ideas
with
city,
government
and
and
city
government
can
listen
and
and
when
they
do,
it
starts
a
process
that
most
can
agree.
E
U
Actually
and
people
have
good
ideas
in
life
and
and
how
they
add
that
to
the
city
process,
a
good
luck
to
ourselves
and-
and
what
may
be
not
a
very
it
seems
as
insignificant
to
some
actually
May
mean
a
lot.
U
So
it's
good
to
share
ideas
and
Thoughts
with
with
your
government
and
when
it's
possible
and
something
interesting
can
grow
and,
in
the
very
least,
what
what
you
feel
is
important
to
you
and
and
that
may
not
be
shared
as
a
full
community
process
can
at
least
have
space
to
understand
its
importance,
and
that's
for
me
a
historical
landmark
all
of
itself.
U
B
All
right,
so
we
are
now
see
I
can't
remember
if
we
have
a
motion
yet
on
10.1,
do
we?
No,
we
don't
anybody
want
to
move.
C
A
B
Aye
Jones
aye
Ricardo
aye.
Thank
you
all
right,
we're
on
to
3.1
the
report
of
our
city
manager.
Jennifer.
Thank
you.
Mayor
I'd
have
no
report
today.
Okay,
3.3
Retirement,
Board,
public
member
interviews,
yes
and
I
believe
we
have
three
candidates.
Is
that
right.
D
C
Member
and
one
for
Federated
they
are
available
for
interview,
they're
all
incumbents.
You
have
interviewed
them
in
the
past,
so
you
can
choose
to
interview
them
or
not,
and
we
have
powerly
as
war.
Men
in
Sunita
got
a
potty
for
police
and
fire
and
then
for
Federated
with
anurag
Chandra.
B
Okay,
I
realize
now
that
they've
taken
the
time
to
actually
be
down
here.
They
are
virtual.
Oh
they're,
virtual,
okay,
good,
okay,
fabulous
I'm,
always
happy
to
hear
their
thoughts
about
perhaps
how
we
can
work
together
more
productively,
so
I
would
certainly
be
happy
to
hear
from
them.
But
let
me
just
check
in
with
my
colleague
to
see
how
we
feel
I
know
we've
got
a
busy
agenda
will
entertain
any
motion
at
this
time.
I'll
move
approval.
Y
B
T
E
B
Is
that
right
with
the
make
of
the
motion?
That's
okay,
all
right!
Why
don't
we
do
that
I
guess
we
do
have
public
hands
up
as
well.
So
why
don't
we
go
first
to
the
public
and
then
we'll
ask
any
of
our
board
members
if
they'd
like
to
speak
as
well,
so
Tony.
W
Yeshoe
a
little
basic
civics
lesson:
the
council
works
for
us.
The
people
that
are
represented
today
are
going
to
be
on
on
committees
that
are
going
to
be
making
very
critical
decisions
about
pensions
about
we're,
not
a
officer
or
performance.
A
claim
for
disability
is
legitimate
or
not
so
with
that
said,
I
think
it's
irresistible
for
this
Council
to
just
yeah,
okay,
well,
yeah,
we'll
just
hire
on.
W
We
don't
have
any
kind
of
obligation
to
the
public,
but
you
are
representatives
of
that's
all
you
are
you
were
you
do
until
you
do?
This?
Is
the
dynamic
it's
not
top
down?
W
Okay,
the
the
people,
the
the
people
that
are
asking
for
this
job
are
responsible,
ultimately
to
me,
because
I'm,
the
taxpayer,
okay
and
I,
want
to
know
and
I
want
to
know
that
my
council
members
have
questions
for
them,
because
when
they
don't,
it
makes
me
a
little
a
little
suspicious,
because
I've
been
to
these
committees,
I've
been
there
and
I've,
seen
the
Criterion
that
they
use
for
claiming
a
disability
and
believe
me,
the
threshold
is
extremely
low
and
and
a
little
a
little
questionable.
Okay.
W
So,
from
an
Ethics
point
of
view,
I
would
like
them
questioned
and
I
would
like
them
questioned
on
ethics.
I
would
like
them
question
in
in
in
in
a
way
that
lets
me
know
that
they're
not
going
to
just
give
just
be
a
rubber
stamp
committee
and
just
allow
officers
or
fire
departments
make
claims
with
respect
to
disability
and
just
be
given
a
rubber
stamp
I
want
somebody
that's
going
to
be
there
and
challenge
somebody
because
I'm,
sorry,
I
just
don't
trust.
That's
processing,
trust!
That's
system.
D
U
I
play
Beekman
here:
I
have
a
slightly
different
take
than
Paul
on
this
item
about
how
retirement
boards
talk
to
city,
employees,
about
retirement
issues,
I
think,
city
employees
kind
of
should
be
given
the
benefit
of
the
doubts.
I've
attended
a
few
meetings
lately
and
it's
my
personal
feeling.
Good
luck,
how
it
can
be
a
I,
don't
know
working
on
those
sort
of
issues
together
towards
good
goals.
I
guess
shared
good
goals.
U
I
wanted
to
offer
about
another
thing
about
Retirement
Board
issues.
I
just
wanted
to
note
that
I
started
first
listening
to
a
retirement
board
meetings.
A
few
years
ago,
I
thought
I
I
feel
it's
really
interesting
things
actually
that
it's
there's
a
very
interesting
Harbinger
towards
what
to
expect
in
the
future
of
a
city
in
a
community.
U
You
know
to
a
year
down
the
road
two
years,
three
years
and
and
so
forth,
and
it's
been
really
interesting
process
for
me
in
that
in
2021,
on
in
like
January,
February
or
March,
a
sort
of
regular
speaker
came
around
talking
about
the
importance
of
how
we
could
address
inflation
issues,
and
it
was
a
really
informative,
good
lesson
and
the
Retirement
Board
itself
at
the
time
politely
said
well.
U
We're
I
think
we're
going
in
a
slightly
different
direction
right
now,
thank
you
for
your
time
and
services,
and
that
was
that
you
know
this
was.
As
you
know,
new
police
Union
raises
were
just
starting
to
take
place
and
a
few
months
later,
the
you
know
the
Food
grocery
store
contracts
for
covet
issues,
we're
starting
to
to
be
risen
right,
raise
up
so
just
an
important
reminder
of
what
we
can
learn
in
this
process.
Thanks
Brian.
X
Sorry
about
that.
Thank
you
very
much
for
the
for
the
people
who
are
being
the
members
of
the
Retirement
Board
I
I
want
to
thank
you
for
your
service
and
it's
amazing
how
you're
making
this
balance,
because
a
lot
of
people
are
depending
on
you.
They
work
for
30
years.
X
You
know
I'm
I'm,
only
like
20
days
away
from
my
retirement
and
I
can't
tell
you
how
thankful
I
am
for
the
people,
who
you
know
the
balance
and
the
fact
that
there's
going
to
be
money
there
and
we
hope
it
continues.
X
I'm
coming
out
of
stirs.
So
that's
a
bit
different
in
first,
but
still
I.
Think
the
city,
a
lot
of
people
depend
on
you
and
as
they
get
older,
it's
a
it's
a
lot
of
hard
work
that
you're
you're
honoring
people
who
have
gone
up
ahead
and
if
that
makes
any
sense
and
I
consider
that
sacred
and
I
I
mean
money
is
not
the
most
important
thing,
but
it
sure
makes
things
a
lot
easier
for
folks
for
the
most
part,
unless
your
account
will
not
get
into
that
anyways.
X
Thanks
again
for
your
service,
I
appreciate
you
letting
me
speak
and
mayor-elect.
Congratulations.
B
All
right,
thank
you,
I
I
just
wanted
to
say
to
all
of
our
board
members.
First,
thank
you
for
your
service.
This
is
no
small
amount
of
time
and
you're
all
very
busy
people
and
but
I
know
a
little
bit
about
the
time
investment,
because
I
used
to
serve
on
the
board
and
one
of
the
best
things
we
ever
did
was
decide
to
pull
council
members
off
of
voting
rules
to
make
sure
that
we
had
professionals
and
what
we
have
now
obviously
are
people
with
great
Rich
experience
and
as
fund
managers.
A
B
And
in
the
law
and
a
host
of
other
areas
that
really
helped
us
I
think
navigate
these
challenging
Waters
much
better
than
otherwise,
and
so
I'm
very,
very
grateful
for
the
education
experience
of
the
the
very
professional
people
we
have
joined
the
board.
B
I
know
a
couple
have
raised
their
hand
and
I
certainly
want
to
encourage
folks
board
members
to
let
us
know
as
the
council
how
perhaps
we
can
work
together
more
effectively
to
achieve
our
common
Ambitions
around
ensuring
that
we
have
a
fund
that
will
continue
to
be
there
for
retirees
for
many
years
to
come
and
that
we
can
do
everything
we
can
as
a
city
to
support
your
important
work.
So,
first
let
me
go
to
Mr
Menon.
Z
Yeah,
oh
thank
you.
So
I've
been
on
the
board
about
four
years
and
I've
served
as
a
charity
investment
committee
for
about
two
and
a
half
and
I've
been
on
the
John
Personnel
committee
for
about
a
year.
Z
And
I
joined,
you
know
we
had.
There
were
two
goals
in
my
mind.
One
is
to
reduce
the
unfunded
liability.
The
second
is
bring
stability
in
terms
of
the
investment
staff.
I
think
we've
made
considerable
progress,
there
I
think.
There's
still,
you
know
some
work
to
be
done,
and
that
is
my
goal.
You
know
as
a
seek
a
second
term
I'd
like
to
thank
you,
know
the
mayor
and
council
members,
particularly
councilmember
Pam
Foley
who's.
You
know
who
attends
the
meetings.
Z
You've
been
very
supportive
in
terms
of
of
the
work
that
we
do.
Oh
thank
you.
B
Thank
you,
sir
Mr
Chandra
yeah.
AA
Thank
you
mayor.
Let
me
get
my
hand
lowered
yeah.
First
I
wanted
to
thank
the
council
for
having
given
me
the
opportunity
to
serve
one
plus
terms.
I
actually
came
in
part
way
through
for
trustee
druyon
and
then
had
my
own
term.
This
past
time.
AA
I
just
wanted
to
make
two
comments.
If
I
take
the
the
balance
of
the
comments
that
the
public
made
I
think
it
there
is,
there's
the
issue
of
really
do.
We
understand
our
fiduciary
duties
as
trustees
and
I'll
speak
for
myself,
but
I'll
also
speak
for
my
fellow
trustee
members
on
the
Federated
board.
We
take
this
very
seriously
and
we
really
do
understand
that
we're
here
to
serve
the
best
interests
of
the
employees
and
the
retirees.
AA
Some
of
the
issues
are
quite
complicated,
sometimes
there's
competing
concerns
that
we
have
to
consider
but
I'm
proud
to
serve
with
people
who
are
always
trying
to
do
their
best
and
apply
their
best
judgment.
The
second
thing,
I'd
like
to
say,
is
a
little
bit
of
a
Shameless
plug,
maybe
following
up
on
eschwar's
words,
I.
AA
Think,
in
a
lot
that,
in
the
five
years
since
I've
joined,
I
think
that
we've
done
a
tremendous
job
of
bringing
stability
process
organization,
setting
really
good
governance,
which
I
think
is
the
critical
and
most
important
component
of
success
within
our
investment
office.
Second
thing:
we've
done
is
established
a
very
clear
investment
policy
and
the
third
thing
we
did
and
I
also
serve
on.
AA
The
joint
Personnel
committee
has
hired
a
world-class
CIO,
Shameless
plug,
but
I
think
we
have
the
best
in
the
state
and
and
because
of
all
of
that,
you've
seen
the
funded
status
increase
for
both
plans.
Over
on
the
Federated
side,
we
were
the
bottom
percentile
of
performers
when
I
joined
two
fiscal
years
ago.
AA
I
believe
we
were
in
the
top
decile
this
fiscal
year
that
just
ended
I
believe
the
numbers
are
not
settled,
but
we
should
still
be
in
the
top
quartile,
but
I
think
there's
still
some
work
left
to
be
done
to
institutionalize
all
of
this
good
work
so
that
you
know
the
office
is
let
it
left
in
good
shape.
After
the
trustees
on
my
board
leave
and
after
the
CIO
and
his
staff,
eventually
move
on
and
I
think
we're
we're
on
that
path.
AA
B
You
thank
you.
Mr
Chandra
and
I
I
appreciate
your
your
endorsement
of
our
CIO,
particularly
since
we
weathered
a
couple
years
without
his
CIO
and
it
did
not
go
well.
I
know
this
kind
of
putty
welcome,
yeah.
AB
This
is
I
completed,
half
term
I
believe
I
fill
someone
else's
seat
right
in
the
middle
of
cobit
and
so
I
guess
the
perspective
I
have
in
terms
of
the
board
I'm
back
here,
because
I
feel
it's
been
an
incredible
experience
to
be
able
to,
you
know,
contribute
to
the
broader
community
and-
and
it's
been
a
pleasure
to
be
working
so
closely
with
with
our
fire
and
police
folks
on
the
board,
as
well
as
my
co-public
members,
who
are
all
extremely
knowledgeable
professionals,
I,
think
the
couple
of
observations
I
might
make
and
I
wasn't.
AB
I
was
in
front
of
the
council
a
couple
of
weeks
ago
presenting
the
fee
fee
analysis,
so
that
was
you
know,
of
course,
with
trouble
who
was
presenting
it,
and
you
know
I
think
we
continue
to
remain
focused
on
concerns
that
the
the
council
might
have
had
in
the
past
to
demonstrate
putting
putting
fees
being
conscious
about
where
we
use
our
fees.
AB
AB
The
other
thing
I
might
observe
is
we,
you
know
it's.
This
is
not
there's
no
magic
bullet
to
bridging
bridging
unfunded
liabilities,
but
I
think
we
have
extremely
thought
through
process
and
with
best
intentions
and
with
such
a
knowledgeable
board.
I
feel
like
we
should
be
able
to
weather
the
next
few
years,
where
we're
in
a
very
different
interest
rate
regime,
quite
interestingly,
and
that
that
makes
it
exciting
for
somebody
like
me,
who's
just
warmed
up
to
her
seat
and
is
looking
forward
to
another
four
years
of
service.
B
Thank
you.
This
kind
of
party,
I
I,
do
appreciate
your
point
and
particularly
the
progress
made
around
fees
that
it's
not
without
notice
that
that
the
funds
have
performed
very
well
and,
as
it
was
mentioned
in
the
top
debt
style
top
quartile.
Despite
the
fact
fees
are
coming
down
that
says
something
and
Mr
Lee.
AC
Hello,
hello,
yeah
well
for
first
of
all,
thank
you,
Council
and
mayor
for
allowing
me
to
step
up
here
and
to
renew
and
to
continue
my
service
for
the
plan
of
members
and
for
the
city.
I
I'm
honored
to
serve
I
like
Sunita
I
joined
the
the
board
just
prior
to
the
pandemic,
and
it's
been
a
I
think
it's
been
an
eye-opening
experience
from
a
very
positive
point
of
view.
AC
I
think
we
have
a
great
team
here
with
Prabhu
I
think
we
still
have
work
to
do
with
the
unfunded
liability,
but
we
are
in
I
think
the
right
direction.
I
really
appreciate
the
communication
with
the
council
through
Pam
her
contributions.
Every
board
meeting
have
been
very,
very
helpful
to
us
and
she
helps
Bridge
the
bridge
of
the
gap
between
the
work
that
we
do
and
the
work
that
city
is
also
doing
and
making
sure
everything
is
in
parallel
and
to
Echo
what
the
other
board
members
said.
AC
We
take
our
roles
very
seriously,
built
from
an
ethical
as
well
as
a
work
point
of
view.
In
fact,
you
know,
I
would
say
probably
take
this
as
seriously
more
seriously
than
than
a
lot
of
the
work
I
do
on
a
day-to-day
basis,
just
because
we're
fiduciaries
and
we
have
to
take
care
of
people
as
well
as
their
future
incomes.
So
that's
something.
That's
really
I,
think
important
to
me
and
I
think
it's
important
to
the
rest
of
our
board.
AC
B
K
Thank
you.
I
just
wanted
to
thank
the
trustees
who
are
reapplying
for
their
positions,
having
served
on
the
police
and
fire
Retirement
Board
for
four
years,
as
the
council
Leo
liaison
I
can
tell
you
that
a
conversation
is
always
held
in
these
meetings
about
the
unfunded
liabilities,
about
their
fiduciary
responsibility,
which
is
to
protect
the
investment
and
assets
of
the
retirees,
and
always
they
ask
the
impact
of
their
decisions
on
the
city
and
the
unfunded
liabilities.
K
I
am
always
impressed
by
the
level
and
depth
of
the
conversation
from
the
three
on
the
on
the
retirement,
the
police
and
fire
and
Retirement
Board
Howard,
eswar
and
Sunita
I
can't
speak
to
the
Federated
board.
I
know
councilmember
Davis
can
but
I'm
grateful
to
serve
with
them
and
grateful
to
actually
listen
into
those
conversations
and
hear
all
of
the
discussions
about
the
assets
and
how
they're
allocated
how
they're
spent
how
they
come
in
and
how
we
can
protect
the
retiring,
fun,
retirement
funds
of
our
police
and
fire
departments.
B
E
B
Hi.
Thank
you
great.
Thank
you
all
for
your
willingness
to
continue
to
serve.
Thank
you,
okay,
we're
going
to
move
forward
then
to
the
boards
and
commission's
appointment,
which
is
item
3.4.
This
is
on
the
Civil
Service,
Commission
and
I.
Believe
we
have
two
candidates.
Is
that
right?
Yes,.
C
We
have
Sharon
Hightower,
who
is
the
current
attorney
at
law
and
Tom
Cochran?
Who
is
the
the
current
member
at
large
I,
see
Sharon
here,
I,
don't
see
that
Tom
Cochran
is
here
they
have.
These
are
incumbents,
they
have
been
previously
interviewed.
We
are
also
in
the
middle
of
a
hearing
with
them.
B
AD
B
AE
B
Yes,
all
right,
there's
motion
Motion
in
second
all
right,
any
comments,
let's
go
to
the
public
first
and
then
we'll
we'll
come
back
to
them.
U
Where
we've
been
here
for
this
item
and
for
the
appointees
on
the
last
item,
I
forgot
to
quickly
mention
good
luck
to
all
of
yourselves
in
your
appointing
roles
and
your
new
rules
or
continuing
roles
of
how
to
consider
the
concepts
of
openness
and
accountability
and
and
to
make
this
a
decision
making
process
that
works
to
not
harm
each
other.
U
It's
important
to
consider
those
factors
and
how
we
make
our
decisions
and
openness
and
accountability.
Ideas
can
be
of
help
to
yourselves
in
making
a
better
set
of
decisions.
So
good
luck
to
ourselves
in
working
those
things.
U
It
tends
to
bring
out
our
better
selves
and
how
we
can
work
better
and
it
just
makes
for
a
better
process
how
that
can
go
and
I
think
you
can
understand
what
I
mean
and
just
to
thank
you
for
your
time
and
good
luck
to
yourselves
in
the
future
work
and
and
an
openness
for
all
of
us.
Thank
you.
W
Yes,
Paul
from
the
Horseshoe.
My
question
to
the
members
that
are
asking
to
be
re-u
rejoin
to
their
respective
positions
in
the
civil
service
is
an
ethical
War.
You
see
it
was
the
law
for
Redline,
although
the
law
was
racist.
W
So
my
question
to
you
is
this:
is
that
if
there
is
something
that
is
legal,
but
it
is
extremely
unethical
not
only
by
your
own
subjective,
not
only
by
your
subjective
analysis,
but
it's
unethical
on
its
face.
Primafasi,
okay,
my
question
to
you
is:
are
you
bold
enough?
Are
you
courageous
enough
to
challenge
the
system?
W
Don't
it
be
against
the
law,
but
you
vote
your
ethical
conscience,
because
if
we
had
more
people
that
voted
their
ethical
conscience
in
the
formation
of
San
Jose,
we
wouldn't
be
in
this
position
of
of
having
to
undo
racist
policies
that
have
affected
Chicanos
for
Generations.
So
my
question
to
you
is
a
very
specific
one.
W
B
All
right,
I
just
wanted
to
recognize,
particularly
since
Sharon
Hightower,
is
here
something
that
in
case
anybody
read
over
this
too
quickly.
This
is
on
one
of
the
final
pages
of
her
application.
B
B
While
she
has
been
a
full-time
attorney
with
her
own
practice,
while
she
continues
to
serve
the
Santa
Clara
County
Bar
Association
as
a
panel
Arbiter
arbitrator
for
the
pr
patient
committee,
so
that
is
public
service
and
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you
Sharon
for
your
dedication
to
our
city,
particularly
since
we
need
the
expertise
of
at
least
one
attorney
on
this
commission,
and
you
have
been
that
person.
So
thank
you.
Sharon.
B
All
right-
and
this
is
your
last
chance
to
get
off
the
panel
before
we
vote
all
right.
We
we
have
a
motion,
though,
let's
vote
Yes.
C
A
B
Thank
you,
okay!
Well,
Sharon,
you're
back
on.
B
All
right:
let's
move
forward
to
item
8.1,
which
is
a
public
hearing
on
homeless,
housing
assistance
and
prevention
program
application,
especially
known
as
hap.
There
will
be
a
presentation,
welcome
Omar
and
Kelly
and
Reagan
foreign.
AG
Good
afternoon,
mayor
and
Council
Reagan
Henninger
deputy
director
of
the
housing
department,
I'm
joined
by
Kelly
Hemphill,
our
division
manager
with
the
housing
department,
and
we
are
here
today
to
hold
a
public
hearing
for
the
homeless,
housing
assistants
and
prevention
program,
known
as
hap.
This
is
our
fourth
round
of
app
funding
from
the
state.
AG
AG
So,
by
way
of
a
brief
history,
you
can
see
here
our
previous
rounds
of
hap
totaling.
64
million
we've
not
received
our
hap
3
disbursement
yet,
but
we
do
expect
it
soon
from
the
state.
AG
So
the
state
was
particularly
interested
in
each
City's
goal
to
reduce
unsheltered
homelessness
or
sometimes
called
Street
homelessness.
The
city's
goal
for
hap-3
funds
is
to
reduce
unsheltered
homelessness
by
four
percent
so
to
develop.
This
goal.
The
city
in
coordination
with
the
County
Office
of
Supportive
Housing,
examined
our
hap-3
Baseline
data,
along
with
our
regional
point
in
time
counts,
which
is
our
census
of
homeless
individuals.
AG
So
the
graph
that
you
see
on
the
right
is
a
screenshot
of
the
Cal
ich
goal
setting
tool.
It
shows
how
the
interventions
that
San,
Jose
and
Santa
Clara
County
implement
the
red
line
will
flatten
the
sharp
curve
when
compared
to
a
scenario
in
which
no
one
in
no
interventions
take
place
to
prevent
or
resolve
homelessness.
AG
So
you
can
see
here
since
2019,
some
of
the
impact
of
our
hap
funds.
We've
used
predominantly
for
the
construction
and
operation
of
five
emergency
interim
housing
communities
that
have
sheltered
nearly
1200
individuals.
AG
AG
AG
AG
AG
AG
This
proposed
spending
plan
also
responds
to
the
mayor's
March
budget
message
for
fiscal
year,
2223
that
was
approved
by
Council,
which
directed
the
city
manager
to
allocate
sufficient
amount
of
one-time
funding
through
a
combination
of
federal
state
and
other
resources
to
enable
the
Development
and
Construction
and
ongoing
services
and
operations
of
our
interim
housing
sites,
and
also
in
managers
budget
addendum
number
three.
AG
We
did
provide
the
council
a
projection
of
the
services
and
operations
for
our
eih
sites
and
the
cost,
and
we
did
include
an
allocation
from
hap4
of
approximately
17
million,
so
the
remaining
funds
were
proposing
to
continue
our
source
Street
outreach
program,
a
prevention
and
diversion
program
for
homeless
youth.
That's
been
developed
in
partnership
with
our
homeless,
youth,
Advisory,
Board
and
finally,
the
remaining
funds
for
our
partnership.
With
our
lived
experience,
Advisory
Board
and
funding
our
centralized
shelter
hotline.
AG
So
here's
the
timeline
for
hap
funds,
our
application-
is
actually
due
to
the
state.
Today
in
early
2023,
the
state
will
release
each
City's
allocation
and
then
in
mid-2023
we
are
required
to
submit
a
more
detailed
budget
and
expenditure
plan
to
the
state.
Then
all
of
the
hap4
funds
have
to
be
spent
by
June
of
2027.
B
Thank
you
Reagan
all
right
and
thank
you
to
you
and
Kelly,
and
everybody
on
the
team.
Omar
who's
been
working
so
so
hard
to
use
these
dollars
effectively
to
address
this
crisis.
Let's
go
to
the
public.
W
Yes,
Paul
something
from
the
Horseshoe
that
your
statistics
are
a
mockery
because
it
doesn't
really
accurately
objectively
articulate,
what's
really
actually
happening
on
the
street
okay
11
during
covid.
Even
our
mayor
said
this
is
a
joke,
that's
not
even
accurate,
it's
it.
It
was
at
least
three
times
that
at
least
33.
W
W
W
C
U
U
U
I
hope
that
you
know
I'm
getting
the
feeling
that
that
the
housing
staff
is
starting
to
better
organize
themselves
from
within
good
luck,
how
they
continue
that
good
work
and
to
talk
to
you
know
good.
You
know
long-term
people
of
the
community
who
want
to
build
a
real
holistic
sense
of
housing
for
our
future
Good
Luck
in
in
the
another
advice
and
hearing
that
advice
and
those
ideas
and
that
process
I
think
we
could
be
on
to
something
pretty
important.
U
How
we
can
organize
you
know
at
the
county
level
they
want
to.
You
know
have
all
women
and
children
housed
to
find
housing
for
them
by
2025,
and
we
have
subsidy
plans
that
can
really
help
with
that
process.
At
this
time
you
had
a
couple
items
that
you
spoke
of
here
today,
where
you
were
going
to
try
to
find
housing
for
people
permanent
housing
for
people
easier.
U
Hopefully
you
know
you
organize
yourself
from
within,
and
you
can
do
that
better
now,
and
there
was
another
concept
of
how
how
you
want
to
how
you
can
practice
boy
I,
can't
it's
it
slipped
my
mind
right
now,
but
how
we
can
practice
housing
housing
for
people
that
just
a
good
luck,
how
to
organize
ourselves
and
you're
on
the
right
track.
Good,
looking
continue
good
work
in
this
effort.
Thank
you.
B
B
B
AG
B
Oh
I'm,
sorry
Cal
ich
thank
you
and
are
they
kosher
with
our
methodology
and
our
approach
based
on
those
conversations.
AH
Cal
ich
has
done
quite
a
bit
of
analysis
on
all
the
jurisdictions
that
have
submitted
their
their
outcome
goals
and
they're,
not
they're,
not
100.
In
line
with
with
the
governor's
office,
however,
they
do
honor
what
he's
saying,
and
so
they
have
put
together
a
90-day
window
after
we
submit
our
application
today
to
talk
about
how
we
can
comfortably
get
to
a
point
that
is
ambitious
enough.
Yeah.
B
I
mean
I
I,
understand
your
point,
Kelly
I
think
I
think
I
understand
the
implication.
I
guess
more
specifically,
I
was
less
interested
in
what
they're,
in
line
with
the
governor
I
know,
there
have
been
issues
but
more
question
whether
or
not
they're
aligned
with
us.
That
is.
Are
they
comfortable
with
what
we're
submitting
in
terms
of
our
data.
D
B
And
and
then
the
many,
the
very
substantial
hard
news
and
bad
news
we've
encountered
over
recent
years,
we
have
accomplished
some
very
modest
reduction
in
unsheltered
homelessness
over
the
last
two
years,
based
on
pit
count,
I
guess
it'd
be
three
years
so
I
we
have
some
basis
for
believing
we
we
have
a
model,
we
think
that's
working
and
we
think
we
can
continue
to
reduce
this.
Despite
the
significant.
AG
Yeah,
that's
right
mayor.
We
based
on
our
last
point
in
time
census.
We
saw
a
two
percent
decrease
in
unsheltered
homelessness
in
San
Jose,
which
is
in
alignment
with
all
of
the
new
emergency
interim
housing
communities.
We've
built
and
we've
taken
people
from
encampments
to
shelter
and
then
from
Sheltering
at
our
interim
housing
communities.
We
see
a
very
high
percentage
rate
moving
on
to
permanent
housing.
So
it's
a
very
hopeful
sign
when
you
think
about
the
new
interim
housing
communities
that
we'll
be
bringing
online.
AG
In
addition
to
our
project
home
key
sites,
we
will
reach
our
goal
of
a
thousand
new
beds
and
our
our
system-wide
goal
is
to
double
our
emergency
beds.
So
we
think
we're
making
significant
progress,
even
though,
as
you
say,
the
headwinds
aren't
in
our
favor
as
we
house,
one
person
there's
two
more
new
people
who
enter
our
homeless
system
for
the
first
time.
B
Thank
you
Reagan
and
last
question
and
I
really
want
to
appreciate
all
the
hard
work
that
that
you
and
the
entire
team
have
put
in
to
make
all
this
happen,
but
the
headwinds
specifically
obviously
there's
a
very
sharp
increase
in
projection
of
unsheltered
homelessness.
If
we
essentially
do
nothing,
and
is
that,
can
you
help
us
understand?
I
know
that's
coming
from,
ultimately
from
County
data,
which
is
coming
from
State
data,
can
you
just
tell
us
sort
of
the
major
factors
you
see
that
are
driving
that
very
large
projection.
AH
Won't
take
it
from
you.
The
definitely
the
expiration
of
the
eviction
moratorium
has
a
huge
impact,
there's
quite
a
few
external
factors
that
we
have
zero
control
over
I
think
you
know,
kovid
had
a
really
huge
impact
in
people
becoming
homeless
and
having
and
losing
their
their
jobs
and
their
income
and
their
their
homes.
We
can't
predict
whether
or
not
that's
going
to
happen
again.
AH
Those
are
the
main
points.
I
believe
I
mean
there's
so
many
external
factors
that.
AG
Right
yeah
I
mean
they're
they're.
It's
a
really
difficult
headwinds
that
we
face,
whether
it's
you
know
broken
safety
net
systems,
whether
that's
our
Criminal
Justice
System,
our
Health,
Care
Systems.
All
of
these
systems
cause
people
to
experience
homelessness,
in
addition
to
the
rising
costs
of
housing,
I
think
in
our
San
Jose
area
for
every
100
people
that
need
an
extremely
low
income,
affordable
housing
unit,
there's
only
30
that
are
actually
available.
So
you
know
every
day,
I
think
new
people
are
experiencing
homelessness
for
the
first
time
right.
B
Okay,
thank
you.
I
just
wanted
to
have
that
clearly,
articulate
because
I
know
there
are
many
residents
who
are
here
now
and
who
are
watching
are
wondering
why
we're
being
so
aggressive
about
trying
to
get
housing
built
and
I
think
the
message
is
pretty
clear:
we're
in
a
crisis
now
and
it's
not
going
to
get
better
and
it's
certainly
not
going
to
get
better.
If
we
do
nothing,
it
can
get
a
whole
lot
worse
and
that's
hard
to
imagine,
because
this
crisis
is
as
bad
as
certainly
the
city's
ever
experienced.
B
I
know
that's
true
for
every
big
city
in
the
state
we're
all
grappling
with
this,
and
so
there's
simply
no
no
excuse
for
an
accident.
We've
gotta
we've
got
to
push
ahead
all
right.
Let's
go
to
any
other
questions.
If
not
we'll
move
on
to
the
next
item,
because
I
don't
think
we
need
any
motion
all
right.
Let's
go
to
item.
AI
AI
Yes,
that's
me:
I
just
had
a
question
about
the
transition
to
permanent
housing
and
if
you
could
put
up
that
slide,
where
it
has,
the
I
think
the
breakdown
and
there
seemed
to
be
a
higher,
a
higher
permanent
housing
placement.
When
people
were
placed
in
motels
is
there?
Is
it
because
it's
more
I
guess
I'm
wondering
why?
Why
why
the
higher
rate
for
permanent
placement.
AH
I
believe
you
are
referring
to
the
motel
Voucher
Program
council
member
Arenas.
AH
AG
AI
There
you
go
yeah
see
there
were
more
individuals
in
the
motel
I'm,
not
sure
that
that
could
also
represent
families
right,
but
direct,
yes,
less
less
under
the
sheltered
and
there
was
a
higher
transition
to
permanent
or
temporary
housing
is.
AJ
AH
A
lower
number
of
households
than
individuals-
and
you
know
it's
a
totally
different
population
with
families.
There
are
quite
a
few
resources
for
families
and
there
are
fewer
families
frankly
to
assist.
So
we
do
have
a
little
bit
more
success
with
families.
AG
I
think
overall,
council
member
and
our
entire
homelessness
response
system,
our
homeless
management
information
data.
It's
consistently
says
that
homeless
families
are
often
experiencing
homelessness
for
a
shorter
period
of
time.
More.
D
AG
Than
an
individual,
and
also
in
this
time
period,
our
region
received
a
thousand
emergency
housing
vouchers
from
the
federal
government
which
we
have
devoted
to
homeless
families
as
part
of
our
heading
home
Campaign,
which
is
our
campaign
to
end
family
homelessness.
So
we
have
when
we
have
dedicated
resources.
D
AI
Great
and
how
does
that
line
up
with
what
we're
seeing
in
the
school
districts,
there
was
a
toy
drive
last
week
and
I
was
talking
to
the
Evergreens.
No,
not
the
superintendent
assistant
superintendent,
and
he
was
sharing
with
me
that
the
homeless
families
had
doubled
from
last
year
in
this
District,
and
so
I
wonder
how?
How
are?
How
are
you
all
continuing
to
connect
with
the
mckinney-vento.
AH
I'm
so
glad
you
asked
this
council
member,
we
are
partnering
with
the
County
Office
of
Education,
currently
looking
at
direct
referrals
to
our
Motel
voucher
program
for
families
with
children
in
schools,
and
so
that's
actually,
their
request
and
I.
Think
it's
an
easy
one
to
fulfill
and
that'll
strengthen
our
our
partnership
as
well.
So
we
are
working
on
that
currently.
AI
Right,
and
so
this
is
where
I
wink
wink
I-
pretend
that
I
we
we
didn't
set
this
up
so
does
that
does
that
is
that
referral?
That's
a
new
process.
You
hadn't
used
a
referral
process
before.
A
AI
Oh,
that
that
is
great-
that
is
great.
It
would
be
interesting
to
hear
well
if
it
at
the
end
of
December
or
even
for
our
our
incoming
council
members
to
hear
what
the
impact
is
on
families
and
what
that
need
looks
like
so
we
can
continue
to
I
know.
You
are
all
monitoring
this
and
making
sure
that
there's
resources
that
are
specific
to
families
but
I
think
there's
there's.
AI
AI
Those
were
my
questions.
Thank
you.
B
All
right
any
other
comments
or
questions
all
right.
Let's
move
forward
then,
and
by
the
way
I
do
want
to
thank
Senator,
Tony,
Atkins,
Senator,
Nancy,
Skinner
and
semi
member
Phil
Ting
for
their
very
hard
work
in
getting
this
funding
to
cities
into
counties.
It
wasn't
going
to
happen
without
them
all
right
on
to
8.2,
see
emergency
housing
system
expansion,
recreational
vehicle,
parking
program,
analysis,
I,
know
we
have
a
memorandum
from
council
member
sparza
I,
don't
believe
there's
is
there
a
presentation?
AK
AL
Yes,
thank
you
Council
and
mayor
licardo,
I'm,
a
property
owner
located
about
a
block
and
a
half
from
the
proposed
Santa
Teresa
RV
park,
and
we've
we've
had
our
property
previously
in
Downtown
San
Jose.
For
about
22
years
and
over
the
top,
the
time
frame
of
22
years,
we
had
one
vandalism,
we've
been
out
in
Santa
Teresa,
San
Ignacio,
and
in
the
last
12
months,
we've
had
six
vandalisms
on
our
property
and
one
of
the
biggest
concerns
that
we
have
is.
AL
For
you,
we've
spent
forty
eight
thousand
dollars
in
the
last
four
months
of
replacing
glass
and
Security
in
an
office
building
that
is
literally
one
block
away
from
where
the
proposed
RV
Park
is
our
insurance
costs
have
doubled
in
the
last
year
and
we're
not
seeing
any
any
bright
spots
coming
in
that
area.
AL
So
while
we
are
all
for
housing,
homeless
and
and
dealing
with
mental
health
issues,
we
feel
that
there
hasn't
been
any
consideration
or
open
discussions
specifically
about
where
those
locations
are
and
a
considerable
amount
of
them
are
really
proposed
within
a
mile
and
a
half
radius
of
of
where
the
VTA
is
on
the
end
of
Santa
Teresa.
So
any
insights
on
possibilities
of
looking,
maybe
a
little
further
south,
like
Coyote,
Valley
and
areas
like
that.
AL
Instead
of
such
a
high
density
concentration
and
then,
secondly,
any
looking
into
security
for
the
area
or
an
increase
in
security.
AF
Yes,
250
people
died
last
year
on
our
streets
of
homelessness,
that
was
in
Santa,
Clara
County
and
most
of
those
deaths
were
in
San
Jose
we're
on
target
for
that.
Having
that
many
again
this
year,
it
shouldn't
be
a
death
penalty
to
lose
your
housing
due
to
covid
or
loss
of
employment
or
illness
or
divorce
or
any
other
disasters.
We
need
to
provide
our
neighbors
a
place
to
be
safe
and
have
their
basic
humans
needs
addressed
like
having
toilets
and
garbage
pickup.
AF
We
need
long-term
Solutions
which
you've
been
talking
about,
but
we
also
need
solutions
for
them
for
today,
I
say
yes
to
to
tiny
homes
in
safe
Park
areas
in
my
neighborhood
to
in
the
in
the
interim.
My
understanding
is
that
family
shelters
have
a
six-month
waiting
period
and
the
reality
is.
If
someone
is
alive
and
homeless,
they
still
need
a
place
to
exist
into
Solutions
are
found,
let's
save
some
lives
and
provide
safe
places
for
them
to
be.
U
U
This
has
been
going
on
for
about
a
month
now
within
Council
there's
been
some
interesting
work
on
it.
I've
learned,
Mountain
View
had
some
interesting
practices
of
RVs
how
they're
addressing
their
RV
issues
that
I
hope
you
guys
have
been.
You
know
referring
to
and
learning
about
and
understanding,
I
remember
what
from
the
previous
item,
what
I
wanted
to
talk
about?
U
That
I
can
speak
on
this
item
because
it
was
from
this
RV
use
that
it
was
mentioned
that
you
know
as
they're,
trying
to
House
people
from
Columbus
Park
at
this
time
they're
having
a
problem
with
follow-up
issues-
and
you
know
it
seems
to
me
that
you
see
I
hope
we
can
learn
the
practices
of
city
government
staff
can
can
learn
how
to
have
better
follow-up
practices
once
they
work
so
hard
to
get
people
into
some
sort
of
temporary
place
that
they
can.
U
Then
you
know
follow
up
with
them
to
make
sure
their
housing
can
continue.
That's
the
kind
of
stuff
for
the
previous
item
that
I
hope
can
be
useful.
That
was
mentioned
for
all
this
month.
You
know
and
all
the
work
in
this
past
month
on
this
item
that
Howie
we
can
address
this
issue
and,
as
the
first
caller
mentioned,
you
know,
and
what
I'm
just
trying
to
learn
for
the
first
time
is
where,
in
some
areas
you
know
housing
may
not
be
wanted
or
respected.
U
But
it's
it's
learning
to
find
that
place
together.
That's
that's
the
important
cause
and
how
to
what
to
work
towards
and
negotiate
around
and
I'm
just
understanding
that
good
luck
in
those
efforts
how
we
can
all
learn
to
do
that
together.
Thank
you.
AM
W
Yes,
Paul
Soto
from
the
Horseshoe
first
of
all,
I
want
to
acknowledge
what
the
gentleman
was
stating
about
the
the
property
damage
that
he's
incurred
and
and
I
as
a
member
of
the
of
the
houseless
community,
as
a
member
of
the
mental
health
community
and
as
a
member
of
the
recovering
alcoholic
and
addict
community
and
as
a
member
of
the
recovering
convict
community
that
I
understand
and
I
sympathize
with
what
he's
saying,
because
he
he
very
clearly
stated
to
the
city
that
it's
not
necessarily
the
people
that
are
committing
these,
because
you
will
naturally
have
social
issues.
W
When
you
have
unhoused,
that's
natural,
it's
not
that
there's
something
wrong
with
the
people.
We
have
to
examine
the
systems
that
created
the
poverty
in
the
first
place.
That
is
where
we
need
to
go,
and
that's
right
here
at
this
city:
it's
not
the
population.
It
is
the
policies
we
do
not
have
to
go
after
the
people
that
are
experiencing
the
symptoms
of
the
poverty
creation,
that
is,
that
is
created
here
via
policy.
Every
single
Tuesday
violence
against
these
communities
that
are
vulnerable
to
challenge
the
city
on
its
gentrification
process.
W
W
AN
AN
AN
You
know,
and
we
need
to
help
them
and
we
need
to
say
the
mentality
of
not
in
my
backyard
but
in
San
Jose,
because
we
all
San
Jose,
we
all
want
so
please
help
out
make
sure
I
encourage
you
to
do
these
Sparks
and.
A
AN
Them,
okay
and
thank
you
jail
borders.
AO
Hi,
thank
you.
Jill
borders,
I'm,
a
district
10
resident
and
I
too
just
want
to
Echo
what
Blair
Beekman
said.
I
thought
that
this
item,
in
fact
I'm
a
little
confused
I,
feel
like
I,
must
have
the
wrong
item,
because
I
thought
that
a
month
ago,
when
it
was
decided
to
come
back
and
hear
the
full
report
about
the
expansion
of
the
RV
parking,
that
there
would
have
been
a
much
more
broad
report
discussing
a
lot
I
guess,
I
just
feel
sort
of
left
empty.
AO
What
is
it
that
we
were
waiting
for
to
get
I,
don't
mean
to
be
disrespect
disrespectful
for
those
that
work
hard
on
these
reports,
but
I,
don't
know
I,
don't
have
anything
more
in
my
mind
here
or
seeing
a
hair
to
work
with
to
help
those
in
my
community
that
currently
live
in
District
10
nrvs
that
I
have
befriended
and
and
also
said
you
know,
hey.
AO
AO
Maybe
when
the
council
begins
to
speak,
but
I
just
want
to
also
add
that
these
people
that
I
befriend
that
are
in
these
RVs-
and
these
are
people
that
you
know
I'm
so
impressed
by
their
courage
each
day
one
gentleman
parks
on
a
street-
that's
right
next
to
my
house,
and
he
he
gets
out
and
he's
very
respectful
and
keeps
everything
around
him
clean.
AO
C
I
have
some
in-person
speakers
who
just
submitted
cards
so
I'm,
going
to
call
All
of
You
Down
first
person
in
the
microphone
just
get
there
and
say
your
first
name:
I
have
osmer
Cheryl,
Imus,
Patricia
and
Francesca.
If
you
could
make
your
way
down.
First
person
in
the
microphone
just
go
ahead
and
go
straight
to
the
podium.
C
R
Wow,
this
came
up
quickly.
Hi
everybody,
Gail
osmo,
here
I
brought
a
couple:
people
that
live
in
RVs
from
Columbus
Park.
Excuse
me
if
you've
been
rushing
I
wanted
to
talk
on
the
memo
from
as
far
as
a
council
member.
As
far
as
that,
you
know
when
people
live
in
RVs,
they
have
the
same
rights
as
people
that
have
homes
and
in
her
Memo
with
bio
waste.
I
think
the
RV
parks
should
be
having
porta
potties.
We
have
porta
potties
at
Columbus.
Let's
get
porta
potties,
you
know
we
need
a
safe
parking
for
RVs.
R
We
all
know
that
every
single
one
of
you
Council
people
and
the
new
ones
all
need
to
get
safe.
Rv
parking,
there's
more
RVs
on
the
street
now
than
ever
before.
A
lot
of
people
are
even
working
believe
it
or
not
that
are
unhoused
and
live
in
RVs.
Even
at
Columbus
Park
there
are
people
working
living
in
RVs.
We
need
to
get
porta
potties.
You
know
we
need
to
get
dumpsters.
It
doesn't
cost
that
much.
So,
if
you're,
you
know,
there's
this
one
coming
up
at
Santa,
Santa
Teresa.
We
need
to
get
it
going.
R
We
need
to
get
the
ground.
People
need
to
get
there
and
be
in
one
area.
You
talk
about
all
these
people,
saying
only
in
my
neighbor
in
my
neighborhood,
okay
yeah.
We
know,
let's
get
them
into
safe
parking,
let's
get
them
together.
These
are
families
all
these
people
at
Columbus
are
family
members,
not
literally,
but
they
they
can't
be
a
part
they
love
to
be
together.
They
watch
over
each
other.
We
need
to
have
respect
for
people
living
in
RVs.
Thank
you.
V
Hello
I've
never
been
to
one
of
these
meetings
so
bear
with
me.
Please,
I
I
currently
live
in
an
RV
in
Columbus
Park
and
my
concern
was
safe
parking
because
it's
not
real
safe
out
there,
but
that's
the
only
place
we
have
to
park
right
now
so
and
I
did
talk
to
somebody
the
other
day,
but
there's
only
safe
parking
for
cars.
AP
Hi,
my
name
is
Patricia.
I
was
here
last
time
that
you
had
a
meeting
yes
I'm
still
at
Columbus,
Park
I'm,
still
asking
for
safe
parking,
I'm
still
asking
for
help.
We
do
need
dumpsters
like
she
like
Gail
said.
We
also
need
porta
potties
and
we
need
lights.
I,
don't
know
if
you
guys
can
help
us
with
that.
My
concern
is:
how
can
I
say
it?
AP
I
just
wish
that
the
city
could
help
us
out
with
at
least
some
safe
parking,
some
of
us
it's
hard
for
us,
because
we
don't
have
help
with
like
like
stuff
like
registration,
some
of
the
RVs
don't
run,
and
some
you
know,
I've
seen
a
lot
of
things
after
that
last
meeting
that
I
was
here.
It
was
really
hard.
It
was
hurt
because
a
lot
of
people
lost
their
homes,
I
mean
their
RVs
and
that's
where
they
lived.
AP
I,
don't
know
if
you
guys
would
know
what
it's
like
to
live
out
there.
It's
it's
not
a
good
thing
and
you
know
I
wish
that
just
have
a
Little
Bit
of
Sympathy
For
Us,
just
a
little
bit
I
mean
there's
a
lot
of
us
out
there
and
then
there's
people.
You
know
in
other
places
too
that
I've
seen
and
you
know
it's
a
sad
thing
and
I
don't
know.
AP
If
it's
going
to
grow
more,
you
know,
I,
don't
want
it
to
grow
any
bigger
than
what
it
is
I
mean
because
I
used
to
help
homeless,
people
too
and
I
never
thought
I
would
be
homeless
myself
and
look
where
I'm
at
today.
All
I'm
asking
is
for
help
for
us
to.
You
know
at
least
get
how
can
I
say
it
somewhere,
where
they
can
at
least
help
us
with.
AP
Our
RVs
to
be
parked
right,
I
mean
I'm
I'm,
willing
to
even
volunteer
for
cleanup
for
to
to
to
make
sure
everything
is
clean
to
make
sure
everything's
in
order
I.
Even
you
know
whatever
it
would
take
just
for
you
is
to
help
us.
That's
all
I'm
asking
thank
you.
AJ
Hi,
my
name
is
Francesca
paste
and
I
want
to
go
back
to
2016
and
I.
Believe
mayor
licardo
said
that
every
District
would
host
a
tiny
home,
Village
and
I
thought
that
was
so
fair
that
every
District
would
have
at
least
one
so
I
know.
A
lot
of
people
here
aren't
interested
in
having
the
RV
park
or
the
tiny
home
on
Cottle,
but
I
want
to
say
yes
to
both
I
want
to
say
yes
to
RV
parking,
safe
parking
at
many
VTA,
Lots
I
think
that's
fabulous.
We
already
have
parking
spaces,
it's
already
graded.
AJ
It's
already
paved
every
VTA
parking
lot
comes
with
a
light.
It's
not
like
you
drive
in
without
an
exit
without
lights.
I
think
that's
excellent.
I
know
people
are
worried
about
the
congestion.
Well,
the
the
Dwellers
in
these
RVs
are
our
neighbors.
These
are
our
neighbors,
so
we
have
to
treat
them
as
neighbors
and
I
expect
my
city
to
provide.
You
know
trash
pickup
sanitation
if
they
need
help
with
a
registration.
AJ
I,
don't
see
how
we're
still
at
this
stage
and
not
having
gotten
that
done
so
I'd
also
be
interested
in
knowing
if
each
of
the
council
people
know
how
many
boots
on
the
ground
are
in
your
District
by
the
money
that
you
give
to
the
non-profits
Because.
If
you
think
that
20
cases
per
a
case
manager
is
reasonable,
this
city
would
need
250
and
I've
worked
for
a
non-profit
and
we
had
15.
AJ
I,
don't
think
we
have
near
the
structure
and
the
support
for
all
the
RV
parking
lots
that
we
need
and
for
all
the
tiny
homes,
so
I
think
what
the
public
is
so
inadequately
educated
on
is
the
fact
that
we
just
don't
even
have
the
structure
to
support
it,
but
I'm
yes
for
housing,
yes
for
RVs.
Thank
you.
AQ
One
is
about
the
census
and
Survey.
You
know.
Rv
dwellers
are
as
diverse
as
any
other
group
of
folks
and
I
wanted
to
understand.
AQ
Or
do
we
plan
to
devise
a
part
of
the
survey
that
delves
into
why
some
RV
dwellers
living
in
city
streets
have
declined
services
in
the
past,
because
they've
told
us
they
didn't
consider
themselves
to
be
homeless.
This
has
come
up
before
and
I
think
it's
something
that
we
need
to
dig
deeper
on.
AR
Council
member
aspires
up.
This
is
Omar
person's
Deputy
city
manager,
I'm
here
with
Reagan
Henninger
deputy
director
for
housing
department.
The
short
answer
is
yes,
I
mean
I
know
we
submitted
a
pretty
long,
detailed
report,
but
your
question
about
teasing
out
what
the
issues
are
that
people
are
facing,
who
are
living
in
RVs
or
oversized.
AR
Vehicles
is
part
of
the
reason
that
we
are
looking
to
partner
with
a
destination
home
on
their
lived
experience,
Advisory
Board,
as
well
as
any
subcontractors
to
really
try
to
get
at
the
type
of
designed
questions
that
will
elicit
what
you're
asking
about
so
that
we
really
do
have
a
good
sense
of
of
of
you
know
what
the
issues
are
around,
why
some
Services
may
be
more
or
less
successful.
What
the
specific
needs
of
people
are,
so
that
they
will
utilize.
What's
what
we
can
make
available?
Okay,.
AQ
Thank
you,
I
I
bring
that
up,
because
this
was
specifically
cited
multiple
times
during
covid,
when
we
would
send
Outreach
teams
out
and
to
different
parts
of
the
city,
and
in
particular
you
know
there
was
a
segment
of
the
RV
population
that
did
not
think
of
themselves
as
homeless
and
and
they're
they're.
By
refused
you
know
all
the
services
so
I
think
kind
of
digging
deeper
into
why
that
is
and
how
that
can
be
addressed
to
meet
those
specific
needs.
I
think
is
really
important.
If
this
program
is
going
to
be
successful,.
AR
That's
a
good
point.
Council
and
I
would
just
add
one
of
the
the
pieces
that
we
were
able
to
to
look
into
is
a
deep
dive
by
the
Los
Angeles
County
sort
of
office,
their
homeless
initiative
around
a
county-wide
RV
encampment
effort,
where
they
did
exactly
the
point
that
you're
you're
you're,
alluding
to
as
far
as
the
level
of
of
intensity
about
different
types
of
folks,
who
may
at
least
initially
want
a
more
long-term
place
to
keep
the
RV
that
they're
in
even
while
they
may
ultimately
transition.
AR
So
we
put
a
little
bit
of
that
detail
in
in
the
memo,
but
it
is
something
that
just
for,
for
your
sake
and
for
all
of
the
your
colleagues
on
the
council
and
the
public,
it's
something
that
we're
we're
really
focused
on.
AQ
Okay,
thank
you.
That's
helpful,
because
I
I
do
think
I
think
that
would
be
helpful
information
for
us
to
design
or
offer
the
services
in
a
way
that
folks
will
will
use.
Ultimately,
the
other
thing
is
I
wanted
to
say
that
I
appreciate
all
the
hard
work
on
the
report.
AQ
I
and
I
think
it's
really
important
to
discuss
one
of
the
really
unpleasant
realities.
Hence
my
memo,
and
this
is
RV
bio
waste
disposal.
There.
I
I
have
had
issues
in
Residence
in
District,
Seven,
I'm
sure
it
is
not
unique
to
District
Seven,
where
residents
have
had
bio
waste,
literally
dumped
on
their
front
Lawns
from
folks
that
were
living
in
RVs
nearby.
AQ
This
has
been
an
issue
for
a
school
as
well
in
my
district
and
so
of
having
bio
waste
dumped
in
front
of
the
school,
and
so
I
know
that
staff
is
working
on
an
approach
to
addressing
biowaste
service
and
planning
a
pilot
for
spring
to
offer
that
biowaste
removal
service.
AQ
You
know
this
is
why
I
think
you
know
again
going
back
to
this.
Is
a
diverse
population
as
much
as
any
other
I
think
that
enforcement
is
really
important
to
consider,
particularly
as
this
expands
city-wide
if
there
are
folks
who
are
offered
the
biowaste
removal
service,
but
don't
want
to
take
it
and
don't
dispose
of
it
themselves.
You
know,
through
some
other
service
and
and
publicly
dump
illegally,
dump
bio
waste
into
storm
sewers
and
waterways.
AQ
Then
I
do
think
we
need
to
consider
Towing
as
a
result,
that
is
a
last
resort
and
it's
not
just
a
quality
of
life
issue
for
our
residents
and
businesses.
This
is
a
serious
public
health
and
environmental
issue
and,
as
we
build
capacity
to
provide
sorely
needed
Services,
we
need
to
ensure
that
folks
are
using
the
services
and
despite
disposing
of
Bio
waste
properly
and
I,
see
someone
who
is
that
I'm
sorry
I'm
on
Zoom,
so
I
see
a
back
of
the
head.
I,
don't
see
a
face.
AQ
AS
Prns
beautify
SJ
just
wanted
to
respond
that
in
the
development
of
the
pilot
and
again
testing
out
different
type
of
services,
we
would
be
open
to
also
looking
into
sort
of
what
that
Continuum
looks
like
for
those
that
are
not
willing
to
participate
in
the
program.
So
we
would
be
open
to
looking
into
that
and
exploring
what
those
types
of
rules
and
consequences
might
be.
Thank.
AQ
You
and
I
just
think.
Ultimately,
we
want
people
to
dispose
of
Bio
waste
properly.
So
with
that
I'll
move
the
staff
recommendation
and
my
memo
second.
B
Promotion
and
give
vice
mayor
the
second
council
member
Cohen.
AT
Yeah,
thank
you
and
first
of
all,
I
want
to
thank
the
the
speakers
who
came,
some
of
whom
were
also
at
our
rules
committee
meeting
a
few
weeks
ago,
and
it's
really
valuable
for
us
to
hear
the
lived
experience
and
and
see
the
reality
behind
what
is
on
the
streets
and
in
the
RVs
and
I
appreciate
the
the
the
the
courage,
but
also
the
just
the
input
from
you.
So
thanks
for
being
here
at
that
rules.
AT
Committee
meeting,
if
you
remember
all
the
conversations
we
were
having
I,
showed
one
video
of
a
Street
in
North
San
Jose,
which
has
about
35
RVs
parked
on
it
on
both
sides
of
the
street.
And
obviously
we
don't
have
that
necessarily
as
much
in
residential
neighborhoods
that
density.
But
in
many
of
our
business
districts
we
have
a
large
collection
of
RVs
in
that
District.
AT
Because
you
know
people
don't
want
to
be
in
the
way
or
disruptive,
but
we
have
to
provide
them
with
space
where
it's
safe
and
clean
and
with
the
services
that
would
come
with
that,
the
the,
whether
it's
porta
potties
or
other
kinds
of
sanitary
services
and
garbage,
and
all
that
I
so
I,
appreciate
the
staff
memo.
There's
a
lot
of
details
and
research
in
there
and
a
lot
of
depth
and
I
appreciate
the
the
work
that's
coming.
AT
I
want
to
just
talk.
Just
talk
a
little
bit
about
the
importance
of
continuing
while
that
study
and
count
is
happening
for
us
to
be
looking
for
sites
in
parallel
and
continuing
to
do
the
work
that
we've
talked
about
before
and
I
I
know
that
we're
doing
that
so
I'm
going
to
ask
Omar
I
know
we
have.
We've
talked
about
the
list
of
potential
eih,
slash
RV
sites
in
District
Four
and
where
there's
some
of
the
sites
that
weren't
necessarily
appropriate
for
eih
may
be
appropriate
for
RV
parking.
AR
Sure
I'm
going
to
start
and
just
ask
Jim
ortball
who's
been
participating
in
this
process
for
us
for
some
time
to
come
down
as
well.
You'll,
remember
I
think
it
was
actually
your
memo
that
suggested
or
directed
staff
to
to
consider
the
over
150
sites
that
had
been
previously
provided
for
emergency
interim
housing,
consideration
to
look
at
those
sites
for
RV,
safe
parking,
and
so
that's
just
a
level
set
so
everybody's
on
the
same
sheet
of
music
I.
AR
Think
the
two
things
I
would
say:
one
you're
right
that
we
have
to
do
all
of
this
in
parallel
and,
frankly,
we've
already
started
that
analysis.
That's
why
it's
Jim
to
come
down.
The
other
is
I.
Think
one
of
the
other
prioritization
items
that
this
the
rules
committee
voted
on.
That's
on
the
memo
today
is
to
enable
Council
offices
to
support
RV
parking
locations
in
their
districts,
and
part
of
our
challenge
is
actually
just
finding
sites
and
so
having
good
relations
and
partners
as
we
do.
T
AR
Just
our
ability
to
move
forward
on
that,
our
on
using
that
RV
site
search
from
the
eih.
T
Okay,
very
good
yeah
appreciate
that
yeah
in
terms
of
the
ongoing
site
search
we've
done
for
emergency
interim
housing
over
the
years
and
then
the
parallel
efforts
to
do
RV
parking.
They
are
somewhat
different
from
the
standpoint.
Many
of
the
sites
that
we
reviewed
for
emergency
interim
housing
are
undeveloped
and
developing
an
RV
parking
facility
on
undeveloped
land
is
a
pretty
expensive
Venture
the
amount
of
investment
that
it
would
take
to
get
it
ready
to
do.
T
That
is
pretty
significant
and
the
funding
available
to
do
RV,
safe
parking
hasn't
been
there
to
bring
undeveloped
sites
to
a
level
to
a
condition
to
be
able
to
do
RV,
safe
parking.
So
so
that's
kind
of
been
that
they
they
seem
to
be
overlapping
pools
of
sites,
but
in
reality,
undeveloped
sites
are
quite
pricey
to
be
able
to
turn
into
RV
parking
facilities.
So
it's
a
it's
a
narrower
subset.
Given
the
funding
we've
had
available,
that
would
be
good
candidates
for
RV
parking
ones
that
are
already
paved
ones.
T
That
may
have
other
types
of
utilities
available
and
typically
those
sites
have
other
uses
going
on
and
the
owners
are
not
as
willing
to
kind
of
allow
the
city
to
go
in
and
do
that
type
of
thing,
so
we
certainly
have
looked
at
it,
but
aren't
finding
an
overlap.
So,
Reagan
and
I
have
been
involved
kind
of
over
the
past
year,
probably
looking
at
about
10
to
12
different
sites
and
for
a
variety
of
reasons.
T
None
of
them
are
bubbling
up
to
be
viable
Heights
at
this
point
in
time
and
I
think
we
need
to.
We
do
need
to
go
back
through
the
full
eih
list
once
we
get
through
the
next
item
and
then
see
what
remains
available
to
see.
Do
some
of
them
kind
of
meet
that
more
focused
criteria
for
a
a
viable
RV
parking
facility.
Thanks.
AR
AR
We
already
had
a
couple
of
preliminary
conversations
and
we'll
be
doing
that
in
an
accelerated
way
over
the
next
month
or
so
to
make
sure
that
we
we
know
what
we've
got
and
just
continue
to
try
to
work.
At
the
last
rules
committee,
one
of
the
members
of
that
body
had
suggested
trying
to
work
with
real
estate
owners
to
try
to
find
additional
sites
and
that's
something
that
we
remained
willing
and
open
to
do
so.
I,
just
we're
going
to
try
everything,
because
we
need
everything.
AT
Yeah
I
appreciate
that,
just
to
go
back
to
that
point,
there
are,
though,
on
the
on
the
converse
sites
that
were
not
appropriate
for
eih
because
of
some
conditions
that
wouldn't
allow
building
housing,
for
example,
floodplains
or
other
areas
that
actually
could
be
acceptable
for
a
parking
type
of
of
environment.
AT
AT
We
have
spoken
to
some
property
owners
who
have
said
if
we
had
some
sites
we'd
be
willing
to
do
that.
So
let's
continue
to
have
that
conversation.
I
appreciate
that.
So
yes,
I
appreciate
the
work
in
parallel.
We
you
know,
while
we,
while
I,
think
it's
important
to
do
the
census
and
the
count
and
understand
the
scope
of
the
problem
in
the
variety
of
needs.
AT
We
know
there's
well
over
50,
in
fact,
I
think,
probably
over
100
in
North
San
Jose
Alone
RVs,
that
that
we're
looking
to
place
that
people
are
anxious
to
have
fun
places
for
and
I'll
just
talk
a
little
bit
about
the
rest
of
the
things
that
were
in
my
memo
at
rules
that
are
part
of
your
report.
We
had
a
good
experience,
doing
RV
parking
at
the
Vista
Montana
site.
AT
We,
we
didn't
didn't,
have
a
large
number
of
RVs
there,
but
we
had
about
six,
but
the
folks
who
were
there
had
a
safe
place
to
stay
were
able
to
get
their
vehicles
fixed.
We're
able
to
you
know,
look
for
work
and
have
a
safe
place
to
leave
their
thing.
AT
Their
vehicles
parked,
and
it
was
really
good
example
of
what
we
can
do
and
one
of
the
things
that
we
learned
was
and
what's
in
your
memo
as
well
is,
is
the
importance
of
having
a
program
where
we
can
give
people
resources,
Financial,
Resources
assistance
to
help
them
get
the
registrations
up
to
date.
You
know
get
their
vehicles
fixed
and
I'll.
Just
tell
the
story
again
that
you
know
we
even
small
amounts
of
money
make
a
big
difference.
AT
We
had
a
couple
of
instances
where
somebody
on
my
own
staff
out
of
their
pocket,
gave
fifty
dollars
here
a
hundred
dollars
there
to
individuals
who
needed
parts
for
their
car,
their
RV
and
as
a
result
of
that,
we're
able
to
get
their
vehicles
working
and
and
we're
able
to
then
find
other
places
to
go.
And
so
it's
a
really
important
element
and
I
just
want
to
highlight
that
element
in
your
memo
that
we
have
some
City
resources
available
to
help
people
with
those
needs,
in
addition
to
a
place
to
park.
AG
AT
All
right,
well
I'm,
happy
to
support
moving
forward
with
with
staff
recommendation
and
the
motion
on
the
floor
and
look
forward
to
expeditiously
finding
a
site
in
District
4
for
RV
parking.
So
we
can
begin
to
make
progress
on
on
this
issue.
Thanks.
AE
Council
member
I
want
to
just
say
first
of
all,
I
want
to
thank
the
folks
that
came
out
and
spoke
on
this
issue,
but
particularly
I
want
to
you
know,
thank
you,
Omar
and
the
whole
staff
for
working
with
my
office
in
denying
in
terms
of
coming
up
with
a
strategy,
and
you
know
path
forward.
My
natural
instinct
is
to
see
problem
solve
problem
and
I'm
reminded
by
my
wife
and
my
daughter
and
sometimes
Gail
osper,
that
I
need
to
stop
and
listen
and
thinking
through
and
I
appreciate.
AE
You
know,
working
with
you
and
your
team
to
really
step
back
and
and
have
a
vision
and
a
strategy
moving
forward
to
address
the
problem.
That's
not
working
for
our
residents
and
it's
not
working
for
the
individuals
that
are
in
these
RVs
I
know
that
you
just
benchmarking
with
several
cities.
Did
you
look
at
what
they're
doing
in
San
Francisco
in
their
safe
parking
program?.
AR
AE
The
reason
why
I
asked
that
question
is
I
had
the
opportunity
to
do
a
tour
of
their
safe
parking
site
near
Candlestick
and
they're
doing
a
tremendous
job
in
terms
of
taking
a
site
that
it
was
just
a
parking
lot
and
there
weren't
a
lot
of
utilities
or
facilities
on
that
site
and
they
were
able
to
move
a
significant
number
of
RVs
that
were
both
running
and
not
running
onto
that
site.
And
they
were
pretty
creative
in
terms
of
bringing
in
power
through
solar
as
well
as
creating.
AE
AR
AE
Be
great
and
then
there
was
a
discussion
on
Parallel
efforts
or
parallel
tracks.
So
as
we
do
this
analysis
and
these
surveys
we
identify,
we
talked
to
a
resident
of
the
RV.
We
identify
their
issues
or
or
needs.
AE
AG
That's
a
good
question:
I
I
think.
Ideally,
if
we
encounter
someone
who
is
in
need
of
a
resource
right
then-
and
there
we'd
like
to
be
able
to
offer
it,
and
also
one
of
the
things
we've
talked
about
is
the
survey
could
also
be
a
mechanism
to
enroll
people
in
other
things
like
our
cash
for
trash
program
or
our
SJ
bridge
program,
but
we're
still
sort
of
Designing
with
the
lived
experience,
Advisory
Board.
What
the
actual
survey
and
Logistics
will
look
like.
AR
Councilmember,
the
one
thing
I
would
just
make
note
of
in
terms
of
that
process
of
gathering
the
information.
We
know
that
the
benioff
center,
which
is
one
of
the
entities
that
we
spend
some
time
with,
to
try
to
understand
they're
Statewide
unsheltered
census
when
they
come
out
and
train
people
and
interviewed
people
in
encampments
and
Ravines
and
riverbeds
Etc-
was
that
the
people
that
they're
training
to
get
information
about
the
scope
of
somebody's
needs.
There's
a
there's,
a
like
a
diminishing
return
or
a
bouncing
act
between
getting
that
information
and
providing
others.
AE
O
Thank
you,
mayor,
I,
first
and
foremost,
thank
you
for
the
report
super
extensive.
It's
like
500
pages
that
I'm
kidding
by
the
way,
but
but
there
was
a
lot
there
and
it
took
a
while
to
digest
it
all
and
go
through
it
and
I
know
a
lot
of
it
with
some
of
the
reports
from
the
other
from
some
of
the
folks,
you
were
scoping
out
to
figure
out
how
they
were
doing
things
appreciate
it.
The
first
thing
I
just
want
to
say
is
that
something
stood
out
to
me
that
I
would
like
offline.
O
If
possible,
there
was
mention
of
racial
Equity
issues
related
to
the
bi
spadat
first
I
had
heard
of
that.
So
I
was
curious.
If
you
can
help
at
some
point
whether
if
you
think
it's
appropriate,
now
feel
free
to
talk
about
it,
but
if
not
I'd
like
something
offline,
just
to
better
understand
what
that
is
so.
AR
I'd
say
we'd
be
happy
to
set
up
some
time.
There's
there's
been
several
sort
of
studies,
Across
the
Nation
about
the
some
of
the
issues
around
the
the
assessment.
In
fact,
this
system
and
I
think
is-
is
re-examining
that
the
assessment
process
as
well
and
understanding
it's
one
of
the
frankly
leaders
in
trying
to
make
sure
that
there's
Equity
the
Supportive
Housing
system
here
so.
O
Yeah
I'd
be
happy
to
do
it
yeah
we
could
do
a
deep
briefing,
okay,
very,
very
good,
very
good.
The
other
thing
I
was
wondering
was
so
so
I
know
in
in
the
report.
There
was
talk
of
some
of
the
issues
with
trying
to
repair
us
through
the
RVs
on
site
or
even
getting
them
to
to
some
of
the
mechanics
who
seem
to
be
flaking
seemed
in
the
report
that
some
of
them
were.
It
was
challenging
to
get
mechanics
that
were
actually
going
out
there
doing
some
of
the
work.
O
What
I'm
curious
about
is
have
we
ever
considered
because
I
know
we,
we
do
work
and
say,
for
example,
the
central
service
yard
on
fire
trucks,
for
example,
and
I'm
sure
they
use
large
lifts
and
other
things
of
that
nature
and
I'm
curious.
If
we've
ever
explored
or
thought
about
utilizing
some
of
the
existing
City
infrastructure
to
help
sort
of
create
a
space
where
some
of
those
RVs
could
be
repaired.
AG
AP
AG
Do
something
a
bit
larger,
so
it
is
something
we're
considering
in
the
future,
but
at
the
same
time
I
don't
think
we
have
a
ton
of
you
know:
City
mechanics
that
have
a
lot
of
time.
Yeah.
AG
So
it
would
definitely
need
to
be
balanced,
yeah.
O
I
guess
I'm
just
curious,
like
as
an
example,
if
we
had
a
mechanic
that
didn't
want
to
go
out
to
Columbus,
Park
or
wherever
it
may
be,
and
maybe
they
couldn't
even
fix
this
in
their
own
shop,
that
we-
and
this
is
just
an
idea-
I'm
throwing
things
out
and
spitballing
here
that
we've
been
able
to
open
up
the
shop
in
the
city
yard
for
them
to
utilize.
To
then
make
those
repairs
anyway.
Just
throwing
that
out
there
for
you
to
think
about
council.
AR
Member,
it's
a
great
question.
I
will
just
say
that,
among
the
many
things
that
our
team
of
departments
has
has
been
trying
to
evaluate
on
a
second
pass,
I
think
actually
already
evaluated.
Once
is
something
along
those
lines.
What
do
we
have
in
our
sort
of
systemic
inventory
that
might
be
available
for
for
these
types
of
things?
Whether
that's.
O
O
And
and
then
I
know
something
that
was
mentioned,
I
think
during
closed
session
today,
but
it's
I
can
say
it
openly
is
just
I.
Think
there's
an
interest
of
me
and
I
suspect
other
council
members,
better
understanding
the
infrastructure
necessary
to
help
sort
of
offload
some
of
the
bioaste
and
stuff
from
RVs
and
I'm
ignorant
as
to
exactly
what
that
takes
and
what
it
looks
like
so
better
understanding
that.
So
that
way,
we
can
play
around
with
some
ideas
as
to
what
the
potentials
are.
I
think
it'd
be
great.
Thank.
AR
You
for
that
councilmember,
Jimenez
and
I
think
as
part
of
our
our
return
being
able
to
supply
that
detail.
It
makes
sense
in
the
context
of
budgeting
right
like
how
much
is
it
actually
going
to
cost?
Well,
some
of
that's
going
to
be
us
sharing
with
you
what
it
actually
means
like
what
we
have
to
physically
create
so
I
think
that's
really
smart
yeah.
O
The
other
thing
I
was
going
to
ask:
you
is
in
the
reporter
talked
about
the
city
of
Redwood
City
that
they
they
saw.
I,
don't
know
if
I,
don't
remember
the
exact
language,
but
they
I
think
in
the
report.
It
said
they
saw
reduction
RVs
in
their
city,
but
it
wasn't.
We
were
they
weren't
sure
if
they
were,
it
was
because
the
program
was
a
fact
or
because
the
RV
simply
left.
AR
Yeah
councilmember,
that's
a
it's
a
great
point
that
you
you
highlight
right,
because,
but
part
of
what
the
city
may
not
want
may
not
want
to
do
is
to
create
the
type
of
path
that
essentially
just
pushes
people
from
where
they
are
into
a
neighbor.
AR
We
don't
want
neighbors
pushing
people,
we
don't
want
people
being
pushed
period
right,
but
we
certainly
don't
want
people
being
pushed
across
boundary
lines
and
when
we
spoke
with
the
the
staff
there
at
Redwood
City
they
had
so
they
knew
that
some
of
the
people
had
gotten
into
permanent
housing,
which
is,
of
course,
the
goal
for
everybody
that
we
can,
but
they
did
not
know
for
for
some
folks
really
whether
they
just
picked
up
and
went
across
the
line.
O
AR
It's
it's.
It's
really
important
the
notion
of
having
bass
lines,
which
is
part
of
what
the
census
and
Sample
is
about
and
then
and
then
designing
metric
tricks,
whether
that's
related
to
permanent
housing.
For
folks,
where
we
have
that
piece
or,
even
frankly,
the
quality
of
the
interactions
a
lot
of
times,
we
don't
actually
design
for
what
is
what
are
the
people
who
are
experiencing
homelessness
in
their
RVs?
AR
What's
their
experience
of
working
with
the
staff
that
they're
working
with
and
and
what
is
what
impact
does
that
have
on
them
moving
to
the
next
step,
and
so
we
really
want
to
be
be
thoughtful,
urgent
and
and
and
working
expeditiously,
but
thoughtful
about
those
types
of
points.
Okay,.
O
AG
O
That's
what
the
answer
is,
because
it's
difficult
right,
I
mean
how
do
you
track
and
so,
and
so
that
brings
me
to
what
I
was
going
to
mention
and
ask
about
is:
do
you
do
you
envision
in
in
the
further
analysis
that
you're
going
to
do
that?
The
exploration
may
be
a
regional
approach
to
this,
where
the
city's?
You
know,
if
there's
some
sort
of
permit,
that
can
be
given
to
RVS
that
are
sort
of
moving
around
the
county
and
then
by
which
we
can
track
and
not
track
and
monitor
in
the
negative
sense.
AR
Know,
council,
member
I
think
one
of
the
one
of
the
benefits
of
the
region
having
the
community
plan
to
end
homelessness.
The
the
city
of
San
Jose,
having
signed
on
and
and
working
currently
towards
an
implementation
plan
is
the
ability
to
have
Regional
Partners
so
that
we
could
design
a
shared
approach
that
doesn't
create
those
those
cross-boundary
issues
that
we
were
just
talking
about
so
I
think
there's
some
real
opportunity.
There.
O
Yeah,
because
I
I
personally,
the
cross-boundary
issues
are
inevitable.
We
don't
we
don't
we're
not
building
a
wall
around
the
city
of
San,
Jose,
Mountain,
View's,
not
building
a
wall.
People
are
should
be
free
to
move
where
they
like
right
and
that's
what
naturally
happens
and
so
I
just
think
that
we
need
to
start
thinking
a
little
bit
more
regionally
about
the
issue.
The
last
question
I
have,
is
you
you
lift
it
up
in
the
report?
Mountain
View?
O
Is
it
a
good
good
example
of
a
city
that
essentially
said
we're
going
to
tell
you
where
you
can
go
and
then
it
was
easier
to
sort
of
focus,
services
and
such
and
so-
and
this
may
be
stretching
maybe
into
the
next
conversation
of
the
other
item.
But
do
you
think
that's
worth
exploring
as
it
relates
to
encampments
as.
AR
Well,
so
what
I'll
say
about
the
the
reference
that
you
just
made
to
Mountain
View?
What
we
tried
to
do
is
to
provide
a
sort
of
an
unbiased
picture
of
various
other
jurisdictions,
so
we
weren't
trying
to
raise
up
Mountain,
View
or
put
down
some
other
place,
but
just
give
you
all,
as
the
elected
leaders
of
our
city
a
chance
to
say.
Well,
what
do
we
think
and
what
Mountain
View
did?
AR
Our
our
commitment
is
to
make
sure
that
we
do
the
Deep
work
to
provide
people
with
opportunities
to
get
house
to
prevent
them
from
from
becoming
homeless.
So
I
hope
they
will
have
some
more
of
that
conversation.
As
we
get
to
the
next
item,.
B
B
In
particular,
I
want
to
note
for
the
record
Patricia's
offer
of
a
willingness
to
volunteer
help
clean
up.
I
will
come
back
to
that
point.
I
know
in
the
future
that
will
come
come
up
not
necessarily
for
Patricia,
specifically,
but
because
I
think
there's
an
enormous
amount
of
human
potential
that
we're
overlooking
not
intentionally,
of
course,
but
by
virtue
of
of
the
crisis
that
we're
in
I
I
I
wanted
to
go
back
a
bit
to
councilman
jimenez's
questions.
B
I
know,
there's
probably
no
legal
basis
for
doing
so,
but
it
sure
would
be
nice
if
we
could
come
together
with
cities
around
some
common
agreement,
perhaps
prodded
by
the
county,
to
say
that
those
cities
that
are
actually
going
to
be
building
locations
and
providing
locations
for
others
to
be
able
to
stay
could
in
fact
receive
resources
from
those
cities
that
are
not
stepping
up
to
do
so
so
that
we
could
have
more
resources
to
serve
many
unhoused
in
our
in
our
County
and
so
I
just
want
to
confirm
that
through
the
survey
process,
are
we
going
to
be
identifying
where
people
were
last
housed
or
okay?
B
We
are
great,
that's
helpful.
Thank
you,
Reagan
and
in
terms
of
obviously
you
know.
The
VTA
lot
is
a
start.
We
need
much
more,
but
as
we're
placing
residents
in
RVs
in
these
locations,
are
we
going
to
be
restricted
somehow
by
the
Continuum
of
Care
for
prioritization?
Or
can
we
ensure
that
our
residents
are
the
ones
who
get
placed.
AG
Yeah
for
for
our
shelters,
basically
and
safe
parking
kind
of
acts
like
a
shelter,
including
our
emergency
interim
housing,
those
types
of
programs
are
not
coordinated
entry.
They,
they
are
referrals
based
on
the
city's
priorities.
Okay,.
B
B
B
So
we
know,
we've
got
a
lot
of
office
vacancy
it's
going
to
get
worse
and
there's
going
to
be
a
lot
of
offices
out
there
with
large
parking
lots
that
are
not
going
to
be
filled
for
a
long
time
and
I'm
and
gee.
Wouldn't
it
be
nice,
let's
say
in
imaginary
world,
where
we
had
the
money
and
the
bonds,
some
sort,
for
example,
to
acquire
sites
as
these
office
Builders
or
office
owners
are
really
hurting.
B
Perhaps
we
could
purpose
repurpose
the
parking,
lots
and
so
forth
and
then
sell
as
the
economy
is
coming
back
or
lease,
however,
would
work?
Have
we
engaged
much
with
folks
in
the
broker?
Community,
maybe
identify
those
sites.
It's.
AR
AR
Maybe
councilman
the
notion
of
of
essentially
getting
Brokers
and
if
you've
got
some
pleas,
we
have
had
a
few
conversations
where
folks
have
reached
out
and
said
we're
frustrated,
but
I
would
say
this
to
to
the
elected
leadership
to
the
members
of
the
public
to
people
watching
we
desperately
need
willing
participants,
it
is
the
single
biggest
roadblock
I
mean
yeah.
Don't
get
me
wrong
at
about
1.6
million
a
site
for
45
RVs?
AR
It's
we
need
to
do
some
work
around
ways
that
we
might
be
able
to
to
shape
costs
a
little
bit
there
and
there
may
be
some
strategic
ways
to
do
that,
but
as
a
threshold
matter,
if
you
can
get
Brokers
to
volunteer,
if
we
can
get
folks
legitimately
interested,
maybe
we
can
put
together
a
a
package
of
you
know.
We
make
sure
your
property
is
going
to
go
back
to
exactly
the
case.
It
was
in
if
it's
a
lease
you
know,
Caltrans
has
something
like
that
in
their
in
their
agreements
with
us.
AR
So
there's
precedent,
but
the
challenge
is
is
really
having
the
the
Willing
participants
who
understand
that
part
of
our
solution,
which
again
we
all
understand.
Ultimately
permanent
homes,
but
in
this
context
it
would
be
great,
so
we've
had
a
couple
and
we're
still
having
some
of
those
conversations
but
could
always
use
more
okay,.
B
AR
AU
B
I
know
you
will
thank
you
Omar.
The
second
idea
and
I
promise
I'll
stop
here
is
with
streets
and
I'm,
not
thinking
of
streets
that
go
through
neighborhoods.
We
know
there'll
be
plenty
of
challenges,
simply
repurposing
streets,
but
there
are
streets
that
go
through
less
frequented
parts
of
our
city,
we're
literally
we
could
close
them
and
probably
not
be
missed
much
and
simply
use
those
paved
streets
as
locations.
B
When
everybody
thought
we
were
going
to
build
an
Apple
campus
or
a
couple
other
companies
down
there
tandem
and
so
have
we
considered
simply
closing
some
city,
streets
and
repurposing.
Those.
AR
So
for
for
something
like
that,
we
have
a
department
of
transportation
that
we
would
need
to
just
go
back
and
really
spend
some
time
evaluating,
there's
all
manner
of
implications
potentially
to
Transportation
police
Etc,
but
I'll.
Take
that
information
and
make
sure
that
we
Circle
back
with
our
our
transportation.
Folks,
okay,.
B
I
I
know
yeah
happy
to
take
that
offline
I
have
a
few
ideas
and
I
won't
share
them
all
in
the
dice.
All
right
council,
member,
Cohen,
yeah.
AT
You
just
just
triggered
a
a
thought
based
on
a
presentation
I
went
to
at
the
league
of
cities
conference
this
year.
You
you
mentioned
mayor
the
the
idea
of
cross-jurisdictional
pacts
or
collaboration.
I,
obviously,
I
prefer
the
the
packed
collaboration
approach
rather
than
the
like.
The
carrot
approach
rather
than
the
stick
approach,
I
mean
I,
don't
think
we
ought
to
be
saying
to
our
neighbors.
AT
You
know
you
have
to
you
know
we're
going
to
punish
you
we're
going
to
go
to
court,
we're
going
to
try
to
you,
know,
extract
fees
but
Orange
County,
and
now
you
probably
are
aware
of
this
half
a
half
of
Orange
County.
The
neighboring
cities
have
created
a
collective
to
deal
with
the
Homeless
Problem
collectively
and
they
have
actually
as
a
result,
built
joint
shelters
and
actually
then
can
use
joint
resources
to
to
move
people
and
figure
out
where
they
should
be.
AT
It's
a
little
different
because
you
know
in
our
County
we
are
the
big
beast
and
there's
a
lot
of
little
cities
and
in
that
area
it's
a
lot
of
cities
that
are
all
the
same
size.
So
I
understand
that
that
it's
a
little
more
difficult
to
manage,
but
I
just
want
to
bring
that
up
that
it
it's
been
done
with
a
collaborative,
and
maybe
it's
something
that
if
you
haven't
yet
that
you
should
look
into
and
talk,
I
was
only
there
for
one
hour.
AT
AR
Councilmember
Cohen,
so
in
my
prior
role,
there's
a
lot
of
things
that
San
Jose
is
frankly
doing
the
San,
Jose
and
Santa
Clara
County
are
doing
exceedingly
well.
I
will
mention,
though,
in
my
previous
job,
at
San,
Diego
County.
We
actually
talked
to
the
folks
that
did
that
North
Orange
County
memorandum,
and
and
put
similar
versions
in
place
in
three
sub
areas
at
the
in
the
county
level,
down
there
for
North
County.
AR
The
way
it's
set
up,
which
is
just
to
say
it
is
something
that
cities
at
least
all
the
city
managers
in
that
region
were
game
for
I.
Think
the
proper
vehicle
would
be
probably
going
back
to
our.
We
have
a
community
plan
and
homelessness
and
a
good
table
for
that,
and
so
we
just
work
with
them,
but
I
think
it's
a
good
thing
to
raise,
and
so
we'll
talk
to
the
housing
department
and
figure
out
the.
AT
Best,
let's
see
we'll
just
see
what
we
can
learn
from
them,
potentially
and
I.
Just
and
I'll
just
mention
I
think
it
was
from
our
office
that
you
heard
the
conversation
about
broker
real
estate.
We
had
a
person
that
would
talk
to
our
office,
who
said
you
know:
I
have
some
properties
that
may
be
possible
and
I'm
willing
to
help.
If
you
look
for
others,
so
we
we've
had
that
conversation
but
I
think
there's
people
out
there
who
would
be
willing
to
help
in
that
regard.
So
that's
it.
B
E
A
B
AR
Good
afternoon,
mayor,
council,
members
and
members
of
the
community,
we're
just
give
us
a
second
to
get
to
the
the
start
of
our
presentation
here.
AR
My
name
is
Omar
passons,
as
I
mentioned
I'm
a
deputy
city
manager,
with
a
focus
on
preventing
and
ending
homelessness
and
managing
its
impacts
and
on
improving
quality
of
life
for
all
San
Jose
residents.
I'm
joined
today
by
my
colleagues
Reagan
Henninger,
deputy
director
of
the
city's
housing
department
and
John
ciccarelli,
director
of
the
city's
parks,
recreation
and
Neighborhood
Services
Department
and
Jim
orkball
special
projects
also
with
the
city
manager's
office.
AR
We
are
here
to
share
an
update
about
our
ongoing
work
to
improve
our
community
with
quality,
supportive
emergency
interim
housing
options
known
as
quick,
build
communities.
These
options
give
people
individual
space
their
own
bathroom
peace
and
dignity
in
a
safe
place,
while
looking
for
a
permanent
home.
AR
Today,
we
are
going
to
do
three
things.
First,
we
will
provide
you
with
an
update
about
ongoing
efforts
to
meet
the
mayor
and
council's
prior
direction
to
identify
sites
in
every
city,
council,
District.
Second
per
that
direction.
We
will
also
share
the
success
of
the
program
thus
far
and
a
preliminary
assessment
of
Shifting
to
specific
groups
or
populations
of
unhoused
neighbors
based
on
their
needs
or
other
factors.
AR
Third,
you
will
also
you
also
directed
that
the
administration
provide
a
plan
for
preserving
and
quality
of
life
for
all
residents,
including
an
analysis
of
potential
enhanced
services
in
areas
around
existing
and
future
emergency
interim
housing
and
and
evaluating
no
encampment
zones,
which
we
present,
along
with
recommendations
who,
as
a
preliminary
matter,
the
mayor
and
Council,
have
directed
A
city-wide
approach.
This
approach
is
Equitable
for
two
reasons.
AR
First,
it
gives
people
who
do
not
have
shelter
and
are
living
outside
an
opportunity
to
get
off
the
street
in
the
community
where
they
live
rather
than
having
to
go
to
an
unfamiliar
part
of
the
town
for
support
Second.
As
this
map
indicates,
the
current
emergency
system
is
most
concentrated
in
specific
parts
of
San
Jose's
districts,
3,
6
and
7..
Your
direction
to
take
a
city-wide
approach
also
enables
all
parts
of
the
city
to
take
a
shared
approach
to
resolving
Street
homelessness.
AR
More
than
a
hundred
emails
and
evaluating
submissions
from
across
the
the
community
and
the
city
staff
has
identified
a
new
site
owned
by
the
Santa
Clara
Valley
Transportation
Authority
or
BTA
at
the
southeast
corner
of
Highway
237
and
Zanker
Road
in
preparation
for
exploring
the
site
staff
conducted
an
initial
community
meeting
with
mailers
sent
in
three
languages
to
Residents
over
a
thousand
feet
from
the
project
site.
This
initial
meeting
was
held
via
zoom
zoom
on
November
16th,
in
conjunction
with
that
Council
District
4.
AR
Staff
were
also
directed
to
evaluate
sites
in
Council
district
10,
where
an
initial
site
had
previously
been
recommended
at
85
in
Great
Oaks,
as
has
been
the
case
with
every
location.
There
was
a
mix
of
objection
and
support
for
most
of
the
sites
under
consideration
during
the
re-evaluation
staff
solicited
sites
from
the
community,
one
of
which
was
the
VT
owned.
AR
As
noted
earlier
in
the
presentation
placing
this
newest
type
of
emergency
housing
with
its
high
service
mix,
it
creates
an
equitable
opportunity
for
unhound
res
unhoused
residents
in
this
area,
such
as
the
nearby
Blossom
Hill,
Cloverleaf
and
Sanders
Crossing,
to
gain
access
to
a
safe
place
to
sleep
in
their
own
room
while
connecting
to
Services
the
original
recommended
site
has
become
much
less
feasible
than
it
was.
Originally.
Staff
has
begun
conversations
with
VTA
staff
about
the
Cottle
Road
site
and
is
recommending
that
Council
approve
moving
forward
with
this
site.
AR
Staff
continues
to
move
forward
based
on
mayor
and
Council
direction,
that
these
new
emergency
interim
housing
sites
be
located
in
each
community
and
the
sites
are
proving
to
be
the
positive
additions
to
the
communities
in
which
they
are
located.
They
are
good
neighbors.
Now
the
sites
are
clean,
quiet
and
well
maintained.
They
are
supportive
for
people
in
support
of
permanence.
Supported,
excuse
me
search
of
permanence
and
they
are
safe
places
to
rest,
get
connected
to
services
and
health
care
and
job
opportunities.
AG
AG
AG
AG
Interim
housing
really
helps
fill
a
gap
for
people
as
they
are
healing
and
stabilizing
and
finding
their
own
path
to
permanent
housing,
and
I
will
note
that
our
city
interim
housing
communities
are
performing
better
than
most
shelters
in
our
regional
system
of
care,
where
the
Benchmark
goal
for
moving
people
from
emergency
shelter
to
permanent
housing
is
32
percent.
You
can
see
our
interim
housing
communities
are
performing
at
a
higher
standard.
AG
So
the
housing
department
is
working
with
a
consultancy,
firm
home
base
to
study
our
interim
housing,
and
the
study
will
identify
models
that
reduce
operation
and
service
costs,
engage
residents
in
the
governess
and
governance
and
operations
of
their
own
communities
and
move
participants
into
permanent
housing
right
now.
Our
eih
and
bhc
communities
serve
a
variety
of
individuals
with
a
range
of
abilities
and
disabilities
and
referrals
come
from
multiple
points,
including
from
our
street
Outreach
teams,
who
are
referring
individuals
from
nearby
encampments,
as
well
as
from
the
city's
employment
programs.
AG
The
home-based
study
that
we'll
be
bringing
forward
in
early
next
year
will
recommend
serving
specific
sub-populations
of
the
homeless
community
at
our
interim
housing
sites
as
a
strategy
to
reduce
the
overall
operating
costs
so,
for
example,
a
site
that
maybe
is
serving
employment,
ready,
individuals
or
individuals
who
are
enrolled
in,
for
example,
Rapid
re-housing
or
San
Jose
bridge
program.
Theoretically,
at
those
sites
you
could
have
a
lower
case
management
ratio,
because
those
individuals
need
a
lower
level
of
care.
AG
AV
Thank
you
Reagan,
so
I'm
going
to
talk
about
the
neighborhoods
surrounding
where
we're
looking
at
putting
this
type
of
Housing
and
I
want
to
be
sure
that
we're
we're
letting
you
know
the
premise
we
start
from,
which
is
that
this
type
of
housing
improves
the
quality
of
life
for
everybody
right.
It
gets
people
off
the
street.
AV
AV
AV
All
of
these
things
are
valid
things
to
be
worried
about
when
we're
talking
about
this
population,
but
we
started
looking
at
the
data,
and
so
this
data
shows
the
five
sites
we
do
have
currently
in
the
city
and
the
dashed
white
line
is
the
year
before
those
sites
were
opened
and
the
yellow
line
is
the
year
after,
and
this
particular
slide
is
about
calls
for
service
to
the
police
department
about
what
we're
calling
quality
of
life
calls.
So
those
are
things
like
theft.
AV
AV
Mayberry
in
particular,
the
spike
is
largely
related
to
disturbance,
calls
so
again,
they're,
not
thefts,
they're,
not
assault.
It's
you
know
loud
noise
or
people,
people
making
too
much
noise.
AV
We
also
looked
at
another
grave
concern
of
the
community,
which
is
fires.
We
hear
this
a
lot
around
encampments,
so
these
are
the
calls
for
response
to
fires
by
the
fire
department
at
the
same
five
sites,
and
you
can
see
it's
the
same
general
result
pretty
much.
All
those
calls
go
down
in
nature
once
the
site
is
opened.
AV
I
will,
though,
add
that
the
calls
for
service
for
medical
needs
do
tend
to
go
up,
so
the
EMS
needs
go
up,
but
that's
not
surprising,
given
the
population
that's
being
served
and
that
they're
just
coming
off
the
street
in
many
cases
from
years
and
years
of
hardship
that
they
might
have
more
medical
needs
than
others.
That's
why
part
of
our
recommendation
is
about
exploring
the
ability
to
bring
more
Medical
Services
to
these
sites
so
that
we
can
meet
that
need.
AV
We
would
also
recommend
creating
a
liaison
so
that
each
Community
has
someone
to
talk
to
that
knows.
What's
going
on
knows
who
to
call
to
make
sure
something
gets
taken,
care
of
is
something
suspicious
is
going
on
or
something
is
happening
or
something
has
shown
up
today.
We
would
also
recommend
that,
as
a
result
of
these
kind
of
budget
ads
that
we
would
more
actively
Patrol
the
area
just
looking
for
things
so
that
we
can
be
sure
that
we're
staying
on
top
of
it.
That
includes
not
just
the
five
sites.
AV
I
showed
you,
but
up
to
five
new
sites
and
up
to
two
safe
parking
sites
and
we'll
talk
about
the
cost
of
that
in
a
minute.
But
the
idea
is
to
be
able
to
respond
promptly
to
these
types
of
quality
of
life
issues.
AV
We
are
looking
at,
like
I,
said
the
enhanced
services,
but
we
did
add
Alternatives,
because
we
do
hear
that
there
is
an
interest
in
creating
no
encampment
zones.
We
do
hear
that
there's
an
interest
in
higher
levels
of
safety,
so
the
first
one
at
the
top.
You
can
see.
That's
our
recommendation.
That's
about
two
and
a
half
million
dollars
annually.
AV
The
second
one
is
an
alternative,
really
looks
at
more
of
the
public
safety
issues.
So
this
would
add
code
enforcement
Personnel.
This
would
add
police
Personnel.
This
would
add
cameras.
This
would
add
hygiene
to
any
encampments
in
the
area.
This
is
a
very
high
cost
one,
given
all
the
personnel
and
ads
that
would
be
involved
in
about
twice
as
much
at
5.1
million
we're
estimating
and
then
the
last
alternative
is.
We
did
look
at
creating
a
small,
no
encampment
Zone
at
150
feet
around
the
site.
AV
AV
AV
Now,
a
no
encampment
Zone
does
not
equal
a
no
abatement
Zone.
We
would
still
be
able
to
Abate
in
any
of
these
areas.
Just
like
we
can
Abate
in
any
of
the
other
areas
of
the
city.
For
the
same
reasons,
we
might
Abate
in
other
areas
of
the
city,
safety
risks
dangers,
problematic
people
who
aren't
cooperating
with
what
we're
asking
them
to
do.
All
those
kind
of
things
would
still
be
in
play
and
still
be
at
our
disposal
without
using
a
no
encampment
Zone.
AV
AV
A
lot
of
people
want
to
sort
of
take
a
point
and
draw
a
line
and
say
well
draw
a
half
mile
radius
and
make
a
circle
we're
not
recommending
that,
because
every
neighborhood
is
unique
and
here's
a
great
example:
here's
a
site-
we
have
that's
been
there
now
for
a
couple
years
and
that's
in
the
brown
triangle
at
the
top-
and
you
can
see
that's
at
the
intersection
of
101
and
280
in
the
southwest
inner
side
of
that
intersection.
AV
So
when
we
look
at
that,
rather
than
just
draw
a
big
circle,
we
want
to
look
at
the
unique
nature
of
the
neighborhood
and
make
sure
we're
serving
that
neighborhood
the
streets
of
that
neighborhood.
You
know
this
particular
area
actually
has
a
lot
of
commercial
industrial
kind
of
stuff,
so
it
wouldn't
have
the
same
needs
if
we
had
any
age
right
adjacent
to
a
neighborhood.
AV
So
we
use
this
10-minute
walk
in
planning,
even
in
my
parks
department.
We
use
it
when
we
look
at
how
close
people
are
to
a
park,
we're
trying
to
decide
if
we
need
more
parks
in
a
certain
area
of
the
city.
So
again,
that's
the
reason
why
we
chose
it.
AV
I
want
to
give
you
a
quick
example
of
what
I
talked
about
earlier,
which
is
encampments
attracting
or
I'm.
Sorry,
these
sites,
these
housing
sites,
attracting
encampments,
are
RVs.
So
in
this
example,
you
can
see
same
site
these
people.
Let's
say
these
folks
are
all
moved
in
and
we
take
a
hard
line
and
say
no
encampments
half
mile.
AV
AV
AV
Is
a
recent
participant
and
I
know
there's
a
lot
of
controversy
that
that
gets
around
where
these
sites
are
going
to
be
and
what
the
impacts
are
going
to
be
on
the
neighborhood,
but
I
want
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
what
these
sites
really
do
for
the
people
that
are
in
them
and
even
though
Chris
never
uses.
The
word
hope.
AV
AV
AW
AW
AV
I'll
just
conclude
quickly
with
our
summary
of
our
recommendations:
we're
recommending
removing
Noble
site
from
consideration
for
interim
housing,
we're
recommending,
as
Omar
spoke
about
to
continue
to
pursue
their
VTA
sites
of
Cerrone
and
Cottle,
while
continuing
to
look
for
other
at
other
identified
sites
and
pursue
those
we're
looking
to
implement
a
sub-population
focus
at
the
at
the
housing
sites
based
on
level
of
care
needed
and
then,
as
I
was
talking
about
as
part
of
our
budget
process.
Coming
up.
AV
Look
at
the
ProActive
Management
for
outreach
of
homeless
cases,
expedite
things
like
dumping
and
vehicle
abatement
and
other
issues
of
concern
and
create
a
accountability
or
monitoring
dashboard
that
the
public
can
see
that
we
keep
updated
on
a
monthly
basis
about
what
kind
of
calls
or
service
are
we
getting?
How
quickly
are
we
getting
to
resolve
them
and
what's
going
on
in
the
community
so
with
that
I
turn
it
back
to
you
for
questions
and
comments.
Thank
you.
B
Great,
thank
you.
Thank
you,
John.
Thank
you.
Omar
Reagan,
Jim,
Olympia
Andrea
everybody's
been
working
so
hard
on
this
really
important.
Mission
I
think
this
is
the
most
important
thing
we're
doing
in
the
city
right
now.
So
thank
you.
I
I
know
we're
about
to
go
to
public
comment.
I
just
want
to
offer
one
quick
set
of
observations,
because
I
I
often
say
I
feel
blessed
to
be
serving
a
city
in
a
community
like
this
one
and
I.
That
really
came
home
to
me
in
the
last
few
days.
B
This
morning,
I
was
on
the
phone
with
two
Executives
at
Cisco,
which
we
know
has
been
really
a
Leading
Light
in
terms
of
encouraging
more
corporate
responsibility
to
step
up
to
address
homelessness,
and
it
was
Frank.
Considas
is
a
senior
vice
president.
There
and
Michelle
Wright
and
I
said:
look
we're
looking
very
seriously
at
building
quick,
build
community
right
on
your
property
line
right
there
at
the
Cerrone
rail
yard
and
I
expected
to
hear
concerns,
but
Fran
immediately
jumped
in
and
said
well
I've
been
down
to
Evans
Lane.
B
Last
week,
I
was
at
that
same
community
at
Evans
Lane,
which
is
one
of
the
ones
I
think
that
was
featured
here
for
holiday
celebration
for
a
meal
with
the
families
and,
along
with
us,
was
as
Jim
stump,
who
offered
at
cost
to
to
bring
all
the
food
at
a
very
low
cost.
And
then
we
had
donated
from
Nirvana
Soul
the
owners
of
that
coffee
shop
at
Bianca,
ashlu
and
Veronica
Macy
donated
coffee
and
treats
for
for
all
the
kids.
B
And
then
we
had
various
members
of
the
Cathedral
of
Faith
who
were
there
along
with
Peter
and
Susanna
Powell,
and
it
was
just
so
obvious
that
the
entire
Community
had
embraced
this
housing
community
and
the
people
who
are
in
it
and
what
it
dawned
on
me
is
that
there's
clearly
it's
a
blessing
to
live
in
a
community
where
people
embrace
communities
like
like
what
we're
trying
to
build
and
they
step
up
in
various
ways
to
say
how
can
we
be
part
of
the
solution
and
that's
a
testament
to
the
great
work
that
staff
has
done
and
it's
a
testament
to
the
great
Community
we
have
I
just
wanted
to
ask
if
you
could
show
one
slide
Omar
and
you
may
I
may
have
missed
it
at
the
beginning.
AR
And
this
is
Mr
Mayor,
while
they're
pulling
it
up
to
be
clear.
This
comes
from
the
the
federal
government
requires
a
housing
inventory
can't
be
done,
and
it
is,
it
is
all
emergency
and
transitional
units
in
the
region,
so
I
just
want
to
make
sure
we're
we're.
B
I
think
this
is
a
very
important
map
because
it
reinforces
what
I
think
we've
long
known,
which
is
the
highest
concentration
by
far
of
of
projects
of
housing
to
help
our
in-house
residents
are
in
Central,
San
Jose.
It's
predominantly
District
3
district
6
and
District
Seven
and
I
know
a
little
bit
about
that,
because
I
live
in
District,
three
and
and
I'm
grateful
that
we
have
a
council
member
in
District.
B
Three
and
Ralph
Ross
has
been
a
great
Champion
for
building
housing
for
unhoused,
but
I
think
it's
important
for
everyone
to
see
where
communities
are
really
stepping
up
and
serving
because
I
think
there
is
a
misperception
by
some
that
their
community
may
or
may
not
be
disproportionately
impacted
or
burdened
and
I.
Think
we
recognize
we
can
do
a
much
better
job
of
continuing
to
distribute
these
kinds
of
services
and
communities
throughout
our
city.
But
clearly
it
is
overwhelmingly
in
Central
San
Jose,
where
we're
seeing
that
Mr.
AR
B
AR
I
did
want
to
let
you
know,
and
let
everyone
watching
know
that
the
office
of
Supportive
Housing
for
the
county
actually
puts
this
data
every
year
on
their
site,
like
any
member
of
the
public,
could
just
go
there
and
pull
in
a
year
to
verify
the
data
if
they
want
to
check.
So
just
wanted
you
to
know
that
this
is
pretty
accessible
information.
That's.
B
Helpful,
thank
you
Omar.
Okay,
with
that
I
know,
we
have
many
members
of
the
community
would
like
to
speak.
So
let's
go
to
the
public.
C
C
C
D
AX
Mayor
Ricardo,
mayor
kazoo
members,
thanks
for
giving
us
a
opportunity
to
express
our
concerns
in
regarding
to
the
season
to
install
eih
on
our
VTA
site.
First
of
all,
let
me
introduce
myself
I'm
a
resident
I'm,
a
regular
video
user
called
video
is
what
I
use
before
pandemic
every
day,
go
to
work
and
back
from
work.
Not
only
that
I
met
a
lot
of
people,
students
also
using
the
same
thing
and
I
met
right
people
using
that
location
as
a
carpooling
versus
so
everybody
using
this
station
before
pandemic
is
fully
packed.
Okay.
So
that's
why?
AX
If
the
decision
by
installing
EDH
site
it
recorded
video
parking
lot,
it
will
desert
the
current
and
future
public
transportation
usage,
and
it
is
a
direct
contradiction
to
this
Authority
vitilatory
statement
set
quote
unquote
solutions
that
move
you,
because
that
is
the
case
we
and
I
feel
that
was
good
for
us.
Well,
not
only
me,
but
all
the
friends
and
neighbors
up
there
they're
also
using
DTI
and
their
children
also
use
the
videos.
AX
So
why
do
we
say
this
is
a
bad
decision,
because,
first
of
all,
let's
be
reminded
code
of
retail
station
is
built
for
public
transportation,
not
EAS
site,
to
begin
with.
Okay,
and
if
you
look
at
the
picture
from
the
Google,
the
slope
download
downward
to
the
end
is
pretty
bad,
pretty
steep,
okay
and
it's
only
about
3.5
Acres.
B
AY
All
right
I
want
to
start.
First
of
all,
my
name
is
Isaac
Keo
I'm,
a
president
of
Association
Palmyra,
first
of
all,
I
post,
the
building
the
eih
at
Qatar
VTA
station
I,
want
to
start
by
saying
that
our
communities
hold
no
ill
will
towards
the
homeless.
We
just
have
an
issue
with
the
cattle
VTA
location,
as
the
pictures
as
a
picture
is
worth
a
thousand
words.
AY
AY
I
want
to
mention
a
couple
of
these
facilities.
Omar
is
familiar
with
this.
AY
Safe
parking
it
just
got
approved
recently.
This
is
unfair
distribution.
Omar,
the
city
of
San
Jose,
has
shared
the
burden
first
and
also
I'm
going
to
say
that
even
the
side,
cuttle
cattle
side
is
not
even
doesn't
meet
a
city
guideline.
It
is
not
flat
and
creation.
Creating
of
this
such
such
a
site
so
close
to
a
hospital
is,
is
a
not
in
any
good
public,
health
or
safety
sense.
We
have
200
000
people,
patients
use
this
site,
1000
healthcare,
workers,
nurses
and
so
forth.
AY
This
site
is
in
the
middle
of
Umar
in
the
middle
of
a
big
intersection,
where
we
have
tens
of
thousands
of
units
houses
condos.
This
is
the
main
intersection
for
us,
including
Kaiser,
which
has
thousands,
and
is
this.
This
spark
is
heavily
heavily
used
by
our
community.
The
presentation
you
presented
showed
the
empty
Park.
This
is
how
it
looks
pre-covered.
C
B
Here's
the
deal
we
can't
have
Applause
and
still
hear
people.
We
need
to
be
able
to
hear
members
of
the
public
if
you're
going
to
applaud
we're
going
to
ask
you
to
leave,
because
we
need
to
hear
from
members
of
the
public
and
we
need
to
move
quickly
because
we're
going
to
be
here
till
midnight.
Thank
you
welcome,
sir.
AZ
So
rvt
around
there
first
I
have
to
say
I'm
really
supporting.
You
are
a
greater
project
to
help
a
lot
of
the
homeless
people,
but.
AZ
Okay,
so
I
came
here
with
the
concerns
of
the
the
site's
choice
in
WTA
called
the
VTA
for
the
eh,
the
concerns
about
the
safety,
although
it's
great
for
the
project,
but
we
do
have
the
some
other
side
of
the
concerns,
especially
the
safety
of
our
nurses,
besides
that
the
Kaiser
Hospital
here
so
that
looks
like
this.
AZ
Yeah,
so
this
is
the
nurse
this
nurse
was
attacked
by
me
by
a
homeless
man
because
they
got
a
very,
very
horrific
injuries.
This
is
another
of
70
years
of
the
nurse
she
even
was.
He
was
died
after
the
attack
by
a
homeless
man.
This
is
not
a
bias,
and
this
is
the
study
study
report.
This
is
the
fact
75
this
study
of
the
whole
of
the
California
population
of
the
homeless
population,
75
percent
of
them,
probably
mental
illness
illness.
AZ
This
is
just
a
fact.
I
didn't
want
to
say
more
about
this,
but
we
do
recognize
of
the
the
concerns.
Our
nurses
fails
worry
about
this
one.
Well,
of
course,
we
should
do
the
help
of
the
people
homeless
people,
but
we
cannot
sacrifice
meanwhile
secrets
to
the
other
safety
during
this
this
pandemic.
Three
years,
our
nurses
make
the
extraordinary
contribution
to
our
society.
They
are
saving
the
life
working
hard
there.
At
the
same
time
now
we
put
them
into
the
more
dangerous
thank.
C
C
Okay,
I
have
not
called
your
name
yet
I'm
gonna
go
ahead
and
put
you
in,
but
if
I
you
don't
hear
your
name,
don't
come
down,
go
ahead
and
come
to
the
microphone
I'm,
also
going
to
call
a
few
more
names.
This
is
why
I
need
you
to
not
applaud,
so
you
can
hear
me,
call
names,
Diane,
Wang,
Leonard,
Peruzzi,
Grace,
U
and
venkatesh.
Please
come
on
down.
Go
ahead.
I.
BA
Appreciate
the
opportunity:
okay,
we
ta
usage,
as
many
other
speakers
spoken,
were
100
utilized
before
the
pandemic.
Okay,
at
that
time,
the
new
housing,
the
apartments
where
we
have
roughly
5
000
new
homeowners
moved
in
after
pandemic
ends
where
employers
are
calling
all
of
us
back
into
the
office.
That
utilization
will
go
more
than
100
percent.
Please
do
look
into
that:
okay,
Kaiser
being
next
door.
As
the
gentleman
said,
it's
a
threat
because
we
had
multiple
incidents.
Where
you
know
people
were
impact
it.
My
own
father-in-law,
were
hit,
he
was
thrown
on
the
floor.
BA
BA
Okay?
So
I
really
would
like
all
of
you
to
think
about
what
location
really
makes
sense
for
us
and
for
them
right
now.
It
makes
sense
for
them,
but
not
for
us.
Okay,
I
really
would
like
you
to
think
about,
because
we
have
selected
you
as
trusting
party
that
you
will
be
look
after
our
interest
as
well,
which
we
don't
see
it
today.
Thank
you.
BB
Good
evening
Council,
my
name
is
Leonard
Peruzzi
I
reside
in
Palmyra,
San,
Jose
being
the
third
biggest
city
in
California,
with
180
square
miles
of
space,
and
we
are
putting
two
square
miles:
we're
using
two
square
miles
to
put
65
plus
percent
of
the
unhoused
people
in
San
Jose,
which
I
don't
believe
it's
fair
caudal
is
a
very
overcrowded
Street
Kaiser
is
going
to
expand
further.
BB
The
light
that
turns
from
couple
of
streets
into
caudal
currently
takes
more
than
three
to
four
minutes
in
the
morning
and
in
the
evening
to
turn
green
for
people
to
go
and
four
intersections
being
on
that
same
street.
That's
the
main
Corridor
to
85.
BB
it's
going
to
be
disastrous
traffic
I,
don't
think
any
surveys
have
been
done.
Any
traffic
surveys.
We
had
one
fatality
there
just
about
two
weeks
ago,
we
had
one
four
and
a
half
months
ago
on
Cottle
Road
right
next
to
Safeway.
That
area
is
just
over
built
with
all
the
with
Ascent
Apartments
vo
Apartments,
Safeway
Target,
everything
coming
in
the
past
seven
years,
and
now
we
want
to
add
more.
Please
distribute,
please
put
them
in
different
spaces.
BB
BC
BC
There
was
no
parking
spot
to
be
found
if
he
arrived
in
the
parking
lot
after
8
A.M.
That
was
helpful
that
the
parking
lot
was,
if
you
take
three
quarters
away
from
the
parking
lot
where
my
husband
and
the
hundreds
of
others,
like
him,
weren't
legal
in
the
park
to
destroy
this
parking
lot
to
put
some
tiny
homes
in
there
to
me.
That
is,
like
you,
take
a
large
hole
on
this
side
to
patch
a
small
hole
on
the
other
side.
It's
a
terrible
idea.
BC
BD
Hello,
council
members,
my
name
is
Grace,
you
I'm
a
student
of
political
science
at
San,
Jose,
State
and
a
resident
of
District
10.
I
believe
this
solution
does
not
make
sense.
The
caudal
VTA
this
I
believe
this
does
not
contribute
enough
to
our
society
and
it
has
more
negative
impacts.
The
solution
would
not
completely
help
the
homeless
either
or
those
who
identify
as
homeless
the
homeless
need
more
complex
forms
of
assistance
and
guidance,
and
not
simply
a
Band-Aid
solution
of
housing.
BD
May
I
remind
you
about
the
history
of
1950s
Skid
Row,
the
whole
city
became
destroyed,
I'm,
not
discriminating
against
those
who
identify
as
homeless.
However,
they
need
guidance
and
they
need
more
complex
Solutions
than
housing.
Simply
I
believe
that
this
is
an
irresponsible
solution,
putting
the
responsibility
of
the
government
into
the
hands
of
the
people.
This
is
your
call
and
I
believe
this
is
unfair
to
the
residents.
BD
P
Good
evening
mayor
and
the
council
members
I'm
a
venkatesh
I'm,
a
president
of
the
parliament
Community
for
the
last
eight
years.
Thank
you
for
giving
us
this
opportunity
to
talk
to
you.
We
have
been.
You
know,
deliberating
this
discussing
this
amongst
the
community
over
the
past
couple
of
months
and
what
we
believe
and
with
the
facts
that
have
been
presented
by
our
earlier
speakers,
is
that
this
is
not
the
right
location
from
our
perspective,
and
there
are
various
aspects
that
we
have
looked
at
before
we
come
and
talk
to
you.
P
Unfortunately,
while
this
assessment
was
being
done,
we
have
not
been
a
part
of
that
assessment.
I
think
we
have
not
been
heard,
and
that
is
when
I
think
we
reached
out,
and
we
have
started
talking
to
you,
people
and
talking
to
the
administrative
staff
here
in
the
last
eight
years
since
I
have
lived
here,
I
have
seen
the
kind
of
increase
in
the
traffic
at
this
Junction,
and
now
you
are
looking
at
taking
over
an
area
a
parking
lot
of
a
public
transport
and
putting
up
a
housing
there.
P
In
fact,
this
is
a
time
when
I
think
people
have
to
be
encouraged
to
use
the
public
transport
and
this
by
taking
away
the
parking
lot,
is
going
to
impact
that
and
the
traffic
the
closer
closeness
to
the
Kaiser
Hospital,
the
shopping
and
other
areas
that
has
come
up
there.
He
is
going
to
exasperate
the
challenges
that
we
are
already
seeing
over
the
past
few
years.
Considering
all
these
and
many
other
points
that
I
wish
I
do
not
want
to
repeat
due
to
the
shortage
of
the
time.
P
Our
humble
request
is
that
this
has
to
be
reconsidered.
This
has
to
be
taken
off
from
the
list
and
there
has
to
be
an
equitable
distribution
of
such
sites
across
San
Jose.
San
Jose
is
one
of
the
largest
areas,
as
my
earlier
speaker
said,
and
there
are
places
where
it
has
to
be,
and
the
equitable
distribution
across
the
districts
have
to
be
looked.
BE
Good
afternoon
I
appreciate
the
opportunity
to
speak
here
and
thank
you
for
listening
to
me.
I
want
to
add
my
two
cents
to
all
my
the
my
neighbors
here
from
my
locality,
my
community.
We
are
really
concerned
about
the
location
of
the
cotton
Road.
There
are
multiple
aspects
to
this
that
don't
seem
to
have
been
considered
fully
list
of
which
is
the
space
safety
aspect
and
then
the
traffic
aspect.
We
heavily
use
the
VTA
Station
to
commute
to
our
work.
BE
If
we
lose
the
parking
lot,
I
am
afraid
we
are
going
to
see
many
more
cars
or
Cottle,
as
it
is,
there's
a
lot
of
traffic
on
Cottle
with
all
the
development
over
the
past
few
years
and
on
101
85
87,
you
name
it
anything
traveling
north
from
here
there
is
a
completely
choked
and
if
we
add
more
because
we
are
disabling
people
from
using
VTA,
it's
just
going
to
make
the
problem
even
worse.
I'm
afraid
that's
one
part
of
it.
The
second
thing
is
the
safety
aspect.
BE
We
seem
to
be
pushing
it
out
of
the
carpet.
I
mean
there
were
some
data
presented
here.
That
seemed
to
suggest
that
the
number
of
calls
fire
and
police
calls
were
the
same
if
not
less,
actually
from
2019
I'm
afraid,
that's,
not
an
apple
step.
It's
comparison
right.
If
I
just
take
the
data
from
2019
to
now.
BE
How
do
you
know
what
some
other
factor
is
not
impacted
if
everybody
just
pick
some
event
that
happened
between
2019
and
2022,
to
show
that
the
number
of
calls
went
less
covet
happened,
I
can
claim
it's
kovid,
that's
reducing
the
number
of
calls
to
police
and
fire.
That
would
not
be
true
right,
so
I
think
we
need
to
do
more
due
diligence
to
exactly
figure
out
what
the
impact
of
having
something
in
a
community.
That's
so
dense
already.
That
has
a
caser
right.
BE
BE
B
And
she's,
making
her
way
down.
I
just
want
to
check.
In
with
my
colleagues,
the
plan
was
to
take
a
break
at
5
30
for
dinner
and
then
to
come
back
in
30
minutes
and
continue
to
hear
testimonies
acceptable.
Any
concerns.
AM
AM
AM
AD
AD
Okay,
so
in
August
2017
in
that
plan,
published
Kato
ETA
is
Promised
as
a
key
enabler
right
to
building
the
high
density
Community
around
among
the
key
promises
right
are
the
increased
job
access
strengthen
the
transit
support,
the
healthy
you
know
workable
community,
but
now
the
high
density
Village,
the
community
is
built.
The
muscle
is
built
by
the
heart.
The
cut
of
ETA
is
in
danger
right
building
the
eih.
AD
It's
like
you're
blocking
the
artery
to
the
heart
and
defeating
the
main
purpose
of
that
grand
plan
right
killing
girls,
potential
of
the
South
San
Jose
Community,
so
cattle
VTA
area
is
already
overloaded
right.
For
example,
last
year
we
had
the
you
know:
four
people
shot
near
the
VTA,
the
Kato
VTA
area.
Now
we
just
had
a
fatal
car
accident
nearby
this
month,
so
there's
definitely
no
margin
for
the
adding
the
proposed
eih
right.
The
2017
plan
right
was
a
good
example
of
two-way
communication,
but
the
eih
proposal
was
not
so.
AD
The
communities
deserve
sincere,
clear
communication,
so
mayor
lecardo
right
pushed
hard
for
Transit
and
bicycling
as
a
green
alternative
to
automobiles
right.
That's
why
I'm
very
green
today.
We
all
support
that,
but
please
let
the
cattle
VTA
function.
Let
the
kids
continue
to
walk
to
school
safely,
bicycle
to
school
safely
along
the
cattle
right
gave,
South
San
Jose
a
chance
to
grow,
do
not
ruin
its
potential.
Thank
you.

Hello,
50
years
senior
from
Berryessa
community
first
I'd
like
to
I'm
happy,
we
just
finished
a
successful
elections,
I'm
happy
for
the
result.
Second,
last
six
months,
I
have
learned
a
lot
from
mayor
and
councilman
staff.
Working
extremely
hard
working
on
the
homeless
issue
homeless
also
has
the
Dignity
of
the
human.
So
as
a
Berryessa,
Noble
Park
I
encouraged
council
member
World
approved,
removed
Noble
from
the
consideration
for
the
homeless
side,
the
eih
site
and
then
I
think
Berryessa
Community.
AU
They
are
very
strong,
very
bonded.
So
as
a
senior
and
the
younger
generation
coming
up,
we
committed
to
help
the
San
Jose,
Council
and
mayor
the
coming
one
to
work,
resolve
the
issue.
That's
a
big
problem
and
we
all
need
to
work
together
and
I
did
see
our
mayor
working
at
the
Martha's
Kitchen
senior
service
working
at
mobile
Milpitas
shower
helping
the
homeless
people.
They
need
help.
We
pay.
AU
BF
Hello
good
evening,
my
name
is
Ramesh.
Sunder
I
have
been
living
in
this
area
for
about
22
years.
BF
Thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
come
here
and
talk
about
the
issues
that
face
the
community,
the
people
who
have
come
here
with
me,
I've
known
them
for
20
years,
like
I,
said
I
lived
here
for
about
22
years.
We
are
compassionist
compassionate
tax,
paying
citizens
who
have
worked
really
hard
to
build
this
community.
We
are
not
opposed
to
building
an
emergency
housing
for
the
unhoused,
but
we
are
opposed
to
giving
to
building
it
in
an
area
where
it
is
largely
concentrated
in
one
place.
BF
We
are
not
opposed
to
giving
opportunities
for
unhoused,
as
we,
as
my
other
friends,
also
said.
We
are
opposed
to
having
an
eh
location
in
which
which
will
cause
traffic
congestion,
which
will
create
traffic
issues
for
emergency
vehicles
Etc.
We
are
not
opposed
to
get
house
unhoused
on
their
feet,
but
we
are
opposed
to
having
eyeg
in
a
place
that
was
that
is
used
by
our
community
to
access
school
and
education
in
a
vda
parking
lot
that
we
all
used
to
burn
less
fossil
fuel.
BF
BF
Finally,
we
are
not
opposed
to
building
a
consensus
on
where
the
Eis
should
be
built,
but
we
are
opposed
to
the
fact
that
the
community
was
not
consulted
before
choosing
this
location
and
the
decisions
are
made
for
us.
We
are
here
to
you
know,
together
to
fight
for
a
better
future
for
our
children
and
grandchildren.
They
will
be
visiting
the
the
VTA
station
for
taking
Transportation
through
San,
Jose,
State
and
other
places
to
for
educational
purposes,
and
we
feel
that
that
BTS
part
is
vital
for
our
community.
BF

BG
Hello,
dear
council
members,
my
name
is
melee
I'm
leaving
District
Number
two
I'm
behave
my
family
to
invade
our
strong
opposite
opposition
to
the
Qatar
Road
eih
Site
proposal.
Our
family
member
just
heard
this
proposal.
Three
days
ago.
We
didn't,
we
didn't
get
any
notice
from
San
Jose
City.
Our
committee
had
a
meeting
yesterday,
not
some
neighborhood
views,
concerns
objections
and
also
questions
are
made
in
the
in
that
meeting.
So,
could
you
please
check
and
review
our
feedback
before
you
make
the
final
decision?
BG
Second,
the
VTA
Station
area
is
not
a
safe
location
for
people
to
live.
There
are
six
big
big
intersections
surrounding
the
VTA
station
in
zero
two
miles.
This
is
too
many
intersections
for
people
to
cross
press
the
VTA
public
transportation
access.
It's
very
dangerous
if
we
are
increased
the
number
of
people
to
pass
the
crosswalks
over
every
day
at
the
busy
traffic
location
other
than
that.
Also
it
also
make
more
heavy
traffic
congestions.
BG
Have
you
have
you
considered
considered
that
you
may
assist
more
tragedy
as
it's
in
more
car
accident?
If
you
move,
if
you
vote
Yes
to
this
crazy
Pro
proposal,
can
you
be
responsible
for
more
tragedies?
Please
think
about
it?
Third,
there
are
also
health
concerns
for
the
homeless
people.
If
they
mean
there,
because
that
area
is
very
close
to
the
highway
have
to
have
tried.
If
you
have
you
tried
or
have
you
tried
to
walk
in
there,
the
air
in
there
is
very
dusty
and
choking
it's
not
good.
AK
In
the
past
those
homeless
people
sneak
inside
of
the
laboratory
from
the
back
door,
go
inside
the
lab,
patching
personal
stuff
and
sleeping
in
custodians
room
and
made
life
chaos
they
left
over
PP,
poo,
poo
trash
and
every
junk
in
the
backyard
which
make
the
people
work.
There
feel
very
paranoid
and
nervous
other
than
that.
AK
This
is
gonna,
be
directly
impact
of
Health
Care
with
the
patient,
because
when
they
open
the
incubator,
we
were
collecting
all
the
human
disease
bone
marrow
cancer,
leukemia
blood,
they're
gonna
mess
up
the
case,
and
then
that
will
be
giving
the
patient
wrong
result
doctor
with
wrong
diagnosis.
Imagine
if
you
or
your
family
member
got
service
from
Kaiser.

BH
Hi,
my
name
is
Elizabeth
and
I'm,
a
member
of
the
race,
equity
and
Community
safety
and
committee
with
Sacred
Heart,
Community,
Service
and
I'm
here
today,
to
speak
on
support
of
emergency
interim
housing,
also
to
speak
against
the
ban
on
encampment
and
also
a
ban
on
abatements.
BH
We
don't
need
to
further
criminalize
or
traumatize
people
who
are
on
house.
They
need
our
help,
not
not
hostility
and
as
a
government
as
City
Council
Members.
You
have
a
responsibility
to
protect
and
to
assist
all
the
residents
in
our
city,
which
includes
our
in-house
population,
and
so
it's
really
important
not
to
increase
police
or
law
enforcement.
Patrolling
the
I,
the
eih
areas.
BH
Instead,
what
could
be?
What
could
be
done
is
to
have
folks
who
work
there
to
be
able
to
Rove
and
monitor
and
to
be
able
to
help
build
rapport
and
help
build
connections
of
trust,
because
if
you're
a
person
who's
been
unhoused
and
day
after
day,
people
walk
past
you
and
they
don't
care,
and
they
don't
look
at
you.
They
don't
offer
you
help.
Then
they
might
be
more
distrusting
of
someone
else
offering
them
assistance.
BH
So
we
have
to
make
sure
that
we
we
provide
people
with
necessary
resources,
so
I'm
against
any
encampment
against
no
encampment
I'm
for
a
no
band
for
encampments.
Thank
you.
Y
Hi
I'm
here
today
in
support
of
council
Cohen's
memo
to
permanently
remove
the
noble
site
from
future
development.
The
site
is
especially
inappropriate
for
eih
development,
as
it
is
directly
across
the
street
from
multiple
schools.
Furthermore,
this
is
not
just
an
empty
lot.
It
is
a
Park
which
is
frequently
used
by
our
dogs,
children
and
neighbors.
I,
myself
grew
up
going
to
the
percolation
ponds,
and
now
I
am
able
to
share
that
Wonder.
With
my
one-year-old
son
standing
in
front
of
the
percolation
ponds,
it
is
surely
one
of
the
most
beautiful
views
in
the
city.

BI
Hello,
thank
you
Council
for
hearing
me
today.
It's
good
to
see
you
all
I
just
want
to
tell
a
quick
story
that
I
think
encapsulates
the
difficulty
of
this
conversation.
Several
years
ago,
I
was
lost
in
a
city
that
wasn't
my
hometown,
with
no
money
no
place
to
stay,
and
it
was
raining.
BI
I
had
to
find
shelter
wherever
I
could,
because
I
had
no
hotel
for
the
night.
Every
time
I
tried
to
find
some
sleep
in
the
midst
of
mist,
brushing
against
my
face,
a
police
officer
would
come
up
to
me
and
he
would
ask
me
to
move.
The
same
police
officer
asked
me
to
move
down
an
entire
city
block.
BI
BI
I
have
a
lot
of
friends
and
family
goddaughter's
aunts
who
have
struggled
with
homelessness
in
this
city
and
I,
along
with
a
few
of
you
who
have
already
made
comments.
Don't
want
to
look
back
on
what
we've
done
in
the
city
and
feel
ashamed
of
ourselves.
BI
C
C
BJ
How
about
those
niners
all
right,
my
name
is
Robert
Aguirre,
I.
Think
most
everybody
here
knows
me
and
I'm
very
glad
to
be
back.
It's
been
a
while,
but
I'd
like
to
address
some
of
the
things
that
people
are
talking
about
here
and
they're
talking
about
the
number
of
people
that
are
moving
into
their
neighborhood
unhoused
people
they're
already
there
and
I
just
happened
to
pull
up
on
on
my
phone
in
one
ZIP
code
95119,
which
is
where
one
of
these
sites
is
being
located
in
that
area.
BJ
In
that
zip
code
there
are
1
627
sex
offenders
registered
and
if
people
are
afraid
of
unhoused
people,
doing
something
to
them
and
they're
afraid
for
their
children,
I
think
they
should
be
more
concerned
about
the
1627
people
in
their
own
neighborhoods
that
are
living
in
housing.
BJ
The
thing
is
that
when
you
provide
people
with
housing,
it
provides
stability
and
that
stability
is
what
allows
people
to
recover
from
whatever
got
them
to
the
place
where
they
were
that
brought
them
to
living
in
the
streets,
and
we
all
suffer
through
something
or
another
that
at
one
time,
another
is
going
to
put
us
in
a
position
where
we're
going
to
have
to
do
is
be
in
some
place
that
we
choose
not
to
take
the
people
in
Paradise
that
lost
their
housing
as
a
result
of
the
fires
that
took
place
there.

If
we
were
to
have
a
major
emergency
here,
the
people
that
would
know
how
to
survive
are
the
people
that
are
Outdoors,
and
we
need
to
understand
that
they
are
part
of
our
population
they're
part
of
our
society,
they're
part
of
our
city,
and
we
can't
exclude
them
and
treat
them
differently
because
they
don't
own
a
home
or
they
don't.
They
can't
afford
to
rent
a
home,
they're
people
just
like
us,
and
they
have
feelings
just
like
us.
They
have
families
just
like
us.
Thank.

BK
Foreign
Council,
my
name,
is
Albertina
Oliva
I'm,
a
San
Jose
Native
and
I've
been
living
in
District
three
in
Downtown
San
Jose
across
from
St
James
park.
For
about
two
years.
BK
Of
course,
interim
housing
isn't
the
final
solution,
but
in
the
meantime
that
we
build
more
affordable
and
low-income
housing
into
housing
is
absolutely
necessary.
Some
people
said
think
about
the
normal
people.
I
just
wanted
to
set
the
record
straight
that
on
House
people
are
normal
people.
These
are
human
beings.
We
are
all
the
same.
Those
opposed
to
emergency
housing
are
using
fear
tactics,
so
I
just
want
to
acknowledge
that
this
is
an
extremely
unaffordable
City
and
we
must
support
everyone
in
it
and
not
just
people
who
own
2.5
million
dollar
homes.
BK
BK
Interim
housing
helps
us
care
for
our
most
vulnerable
neighbors
and
we
need
more
housing,
not
criminalizing
of
the
unhoused.
Let's
be
reminded
that
those
who
are
unhoused
our
families,
our
immigrants,
our
children,
are
working
people
that
are
contributing
to
the
Silicon
Valley
that
are
cleaning
our
streets,
our
offices
and
that
our
neighbors.
Thank
you.
C

our

speaker

break

to
the
rest
of

the
map

our

retail

Those

the
