To
make
sure
we
had
him
here
while
that's
happening,
I
I
will
say
good
morning.
Congregation
amicad
is
a
vibrant
orthodox
shoal
in
district
six,
the
shoal
is
home
to
both
ashkenazi
and
safari
members
from
around
the
world.
Rabbi
aaron
cunnin,
originally
from
brooklyn
new
york,
has
been
the
executive
director
of
havaad
of
san
jose
since
the
year
2000.
F
This
center
has
expanded
to
include
five
branches
which
serve
the
san
jose
community,
with
synagogues,
hebrew,
schools,
preschools
and
programs
on
drug
prevention,
adult
education,
holiday
awareness
and
social
services.
I
would
like
to
welcome
the
rabbi
and
invite
rabbi
khanna
now
to
say
a
few
words.
G
Let
them
recognize
that
this
is
not
only
a
great
honor
and
civic
responsibility,
but
a
holy
endeavor
as
well
almighty,
god
grant.
Those
assembled
here
be
aware
of
your
presence
and
this
holy
mission.
How
may
we
continue
to
prosper
with
the
message
of
freedom
and
ability
to
be
just
and
kind
with
continued
acts
of
goodness
and
kindness?
D
Amen
and
thank
you
rabbi
and
thank
you,
councilmember
davis,
all
right
we're
we're
on
to
orders
of
the
day
I'll
note
just
for
everyone.
In
terms
of
timing,
we
will
hear
items
10.4
and
10.5
relating
to
the
redevelopment
at
berryessa
site
and
within
the
flea
market
that
will
be
heard
at
1,
30.,
3.6
and
3.7.
We
heard
not
before
130
and
4.1
will
be
heard
at
6
30.,
that's
related
to
various
proposals
relating
to
gun
harm.
H
I
J
C
H
D
Thank
you
councilmember
all
right,
so
the
motion
is
made.
I
I
wanted
to
adjourn
the
meeting
in
honor
of
a
of
a
young
man
who
was
taken
far
too
soon
nicholas
cochran
passed
away
at
the
age
of
28
on
june
4th
of
this
year,
and
I
know
his
his
family
is
with
us,
including
his
mom
kelly
is
his
dad
dan
two
of
his
younger
sisters
grace
and
emma
and
we
join.
You
know.
D
The
whole
community
joins
the
san
jose
fire
department
and
remembering
nick
and
honoring
him
and
in
mourning
for
him
nick
was
born
in
in
1992,
and
he
grew
up
in
alamo
right
here
in
the
bay
area
attended
de
la
salle
high,
and
he
was
a
very
disciplined
excellent
student.
He
was
also
I'm
told
a
very
good
baseball
player.
He
went
on
to
to
the
university
of
puget
sound
where
he
continued
to
follow
his
passion
playing
baseball
while
studying
biology,
and
he
he
also
had
a
great
love
of
water.
D
He
loved
to
surf
and
scuba
dive
and
swim
and
fish,
so
nick
certainly
ended
up
in
the
right
place
of
puja,
sound
and
then
came
back
home
to
the
bay
area.
Fortunately,
and
on
june,
2nd
2019
san
jose
fire
department
hired
him
as
a
fire
equipment
technician
and
his
true
aspirations
were
to
become
a
san
jose
firefighter.
D
With
ewing
sarcoma
and
he
bravely
endured
treatment
and
that
included
chemotherapy
and
radiation
and
surgery,
when
I
say
bravely,
he
continued
to
work.
He
wanted
to
stay
strong,
continue
his
work
throughout
his
treatment
because
he
had
so
much
pride
in
what
he
was
doing
and
for
good
reason.
He
was
really
critical
and
essential
to
all
the
life-saving
work
of
the
san
jose
fire
department.
D
So
his
family
notes
that
nick
has
been
nothing
but
a
warrior
since
the
day
he
received
his
diagnosis
and
he
took
the
challenge
head-on
with
no
complaints,
and
he
felt
very
strongly
that
he
would
beat
cancer
with
his
will.
His
will
to
fight
his
positive
outlook
on
life
and
clearly
this
is
a
case
in
which
the
journey
makes
all
the
difference
nick
leaves
behind
a
shining
example
of
passion
for
life
and
purpose
living
life.
In
the
moment,
treating
everyone
with
dignity
and
respect
and
and
following
our
dreams
to
the
very
end.
D
H
K
L
B
D
D
I
believe
jackie
ross
brandon
in
case
you'd
like
to
pull
2.2
e,
which
is
ordinance
regarding
the
temporary
moratorium
on
no
cause
of
evictions,
and
we
will
hear
that
because
I
know
there's
an
important
update
on
that
issue.
So
thank
you,
jackie
and
are
there
other
items
that
my
colleagues
would
like
to
pull
council
member
sparza.
D
A
A
So
the
council
had
directed
the
staff
to
come
back
in
august
with
the
possibility
of
extending
our
moratorium
until
december,
but
it
appears
to
me
that
the
state
is
now
preempting
our
ability
to
extend
our
local
moratorium
and
we
would
not
be
able
to
look
at
anything
again
until
the
end
of
march
of
next
year
and
then.
Finally,
I
wanted
to
let
you
know
this
laws
has
a
lot
of
details.
It
is
quite
complicated
and
we
will
be
issuing
an
info
memo
that
provides
more
information
as
we
learn
and
kind
of
dissect.
B
B
A
D
Jackie,
the
news
I
know
there's
been
preemption
in
the
past,
but
I
have
to
admit
I'm
a
bit
surprised.
I
knew
about
the
extension,
but
I
wasn't
aware
of
the
preemption
being
extended
so
far
and
I
wonder
if
there
might
be
a
good
idea
perhaps
to
refer
for
future
council
when
come
back
in
august.
A
position
legislatively
that
we
oppose
preemption.
D
Yeah,
I
agree,
so
perhaps
we
could
consider
taking
that
up
when
we
get
back
to
council
in
august.
It's
very
frustrating
to
me
that
the
state
I
understand,
there's
a
lot
of
log
rolling
and
deal
splitting,
but
to
preempt
local
communities
from
being
able
to
protect
their
tenants
is
really
puts
us
all
in
a
very
difficult
position.
Most
importantly
puts
a
lot
of
community
members
in
peril.
Council
member
sparta.
I
B
C
C
I'm
sorry.
If
I
didn't
hear
that
correctly,
I
thought
that's
what
I
heard
there
is
a
bit
of
work.
That's
going
to
be
needed
to
be
done.
Did
you
guys
just
say
that
in
august
you're
going
to
create
actions
that,
on
the
city
level,
at
the
local
level,
you
can
preempt
those
actions,
those
good
actions
of
the
state
that
that
doesn't
make
any
sense.
C
I
hope
I'm
wrong
in
my
assumption
and
if
I
am
it's
crazy
for
you
to
like
force
this
issue
and
make
it
difficult
for
everyone
and-
and
I
almost
want
to
say
how
dare
you
if
that
is
the
case,
please
don't
work
that
way.
I
mean
this
is
really
incredible:
stuff
that
we're
able
to
prolong
and
put
off
the
eviction
and
create
a
longer
time
for
the
eviction
moratorium.
It's
our
best
work.
It's
it's
really
understanding.
C
You
know
that
that
coveted
19
was
not
the
faults
of
everyday
people
at
the
local
level,
and
that
means
both
tenants
and
owners.
They
were
not
responsible
for
kovid
we're
trying
to
make
it
official
at
the
state
level
that
we
don't
have
to
be
held.
You
know
to
its
debt
burdens,
that's
what
they're
working
on
at
the
state
level
and
for
you
at
the
local
level
to
nix.
That
would
be
a
horrid.
I
I
I
would
just
be
appalled
if
that
would
be
the
case
in
here.
C
So
please
let
us
work
towards
openness
and
and
good
reasoning
and
realize
that
we're
working
towards
a
new
future
at
this
time,
and
we
have
to
realize
some
things
of
what
this
covet
has
brought
on:
it's
not
to
bring
back
practices
of
forcing
debt
upon
people.
You
know,
I'm
sorry
if
I'm
off
on
this.
Thank
you
for
your
time
and
patience.
J
Yes,
good
morning,
I'd
like
to
to
echo
what
blair
was
talking
about
that,
I
heard
it
that
same
way
now,
if
we
can
get
some
clarification
on
that
in
terms
of
what
precisely
is
going
to
be
done.
Thank
you,
jackie
for
the
for
the
work
that
you
are
doing,
because
this
is
a
this
is
an
existential
and
and
merely
carter.
You,
you
centered
it
correctly
that
people
are
in
peril
and
what
peril
means
is
that
there's
an
imminent
there's,
an
imminent
threat
of
danger
to
a
person's
life?
J
They
got
all
this
money
from
covet
that
was
covered
money
that
kept
them
surviving.
Okay,
the
same
very
population
that
lost
life
and
they
covered
ravaged
that
community
and
psychologically
impacted
them.
It's
the
same
community
that
is
requiring
your
protection
as
the
leader
of
the
people,
and
we
we
we
have
no
other
recourse.
D
A
D
Thank
you,
jackie
okay.
So
thanks
for
the
update,
I
don't
see
any
of
their
hands
so
we'll
move
forward.
Item
2.10
is
the
adoption
resolution
by
the
board
of
supervisors
of
santa
clara
county,
recommending
additional
law
enforcement,
training,
outreach
and
policies
relating
to
hate
crimes.
Council,
member
esparza.
B
Thank
you
mayor.
I
just
wanted
to
thank
my
colleagues
for
supporting
this
memo
to
bring
this
resolution
back
for
approval
today.
San
jose
is
going
to
be
the
first
city
in
the
county
to
support
this
effort
to
align
our
post-training
with
the
provisions
of
ab57,
ensuring
that
all
of
our
law
enforcement
officers
have
the
most
up-to-date
training
on
hate
crimes
and
to
ensure
that
we
work
with
the
california
police
chiefs
association
and
california
sheriff's
association
to
support
ab57.
B
This
is
an
important
step,
san
jose.
Frankly,
we
do
a
lot
of
these
things.
I
think
already
in
terms
of
training,
there's
some
discussion
about
working
with
post
to
improve
the
hate
crime
training
at
that
level.
But
you
know
we
are.
You
know
there
are
many
cities
in
our
county
that
don't
offer
this
training
to
that
extent
or
don't
track
hate
crimes,
and
so
this
is
an
effort
to
align
all
the
cities
within
the
county.
So
I
just
would
like
to
thank
everybody
for
their
support.
Thank
you.
D
Thank
you,
councillor,
esparza.
As
we
go
to
public
comment,
I
recognize
that
we
are
once
again
faced
with
a
really
jammed
agenda.
We're
gonna
do
everything
we
can
to
race
to
get
our
work
done
by
the
midnight
deadline,
so
I'm
gonna
constrain
public
comment
to
one
minute
just
to
ensure
we
can
get
all
of
our
work
done
today
and
all
the
public's
work
done.
Of
course,
blair.
C
C
It's
a
process
of
of
learning
to
work
from
the
local
level
with
the
state
level,
it's
not
to
combat
the
local
level.
That
seems
to
be
the
key
to
add
to
the
already
good
ideas
of
the
state
level,
and
I
wish
you
learned
to
just
use
that
language
more,
maybe
that's
a
better
way,
I
can
say
it
in
the
future
for
this
item.
Thank
you
for
your
work
on
this
issue.
The
county
hate
task
force
group
they're,
trying
to
come
up
with
a
new
name
for
themselves.
C
If
anyone
wants
to
add
to
that
what
what
that
could
be
to
talk
about
anti-uh
anti-discrimination,
how
do
we
deal
with
those
issues
and
includes
an
inclusivity
that
seems
to
be
the
way
that
we're
working
on
the
subject?
Think
of
the
police
peer
review
program
police
need
to
review
themselves
as
a
part
of
this
process.
Peer
review.
Grant
peer
review
is
good
ideas
thanks.
D
D
This
is
the
lease
with
three
below,
and
I
really
want
to
thank
everyone
who
worked
hard
to
make
this
happen.
This
one
happened
to
have
been
challenging
for
lots
of
reasons.
I
won't.
I
won't
bore
anybody
with
with
the
details,
but
I
know
this
has
been
an
ongoing
challenge
and
I
really
want
to
thank
the
real
estate
team,
kevin
ice
and
nancy
klein
yen,
bowie
and
cameron
day
in
the
city
attorney's
office.
D
I
appreciate
everyone's
hard
work
on
this
effort,
appreciate
there's
a
long
history
here
of
you
know
jim
zur
and
then
jack
nybloom,
offering
cultural
performances
and
movies
at
a
camera.
Three,
it's
been
really
important
part
of
our
downtown
cultural
infrastructure,
and
I
really
appreciate
now
scott
and
sharon
guggenheim,
shannon
guggenheim.
D
Excuse
me
shannon
scott
and
shannon
guggenheim,
who
have
been
so
creative
in
activating
three
below,
particularly
through
the
pandemic,
that
that
rooftop
cinema
was
really
a
tremendous
feat
and-
and
I
know,
got
rave
reviews
and
they
have
done
everything
they
can
to
bootstrap
this
space
into
a
place
I'll
continue
to
offer
entertainment,
cultural
performances
that
we
we
value
here
in
the
in
the
downtown
and
particularly
the
preservation
of
cinequest
status
as
a
sub-tenant.
I
think
that's
so
critically
important.
D
D
J
Yeah
I
want
to
talk
about
the
history
of
this
area
in
its
proximity
to
the
to
the
horseshoe
that
the
city
was
comfortable,
having
the
porn
industry
all
downtown
right
there,
and
I
had
to
walk
through
there
to
go
to
the
jose
theater
for
50
cents
to
see
bruce
lee,
and
so
I
was
constantly
constantly
throughout
my
childhood
approached
a
car
just
circling
and
circling
the
block.
It
was
right
with
sexual
predators
in
the
city
collected
tax
revenue
from
the
maintenance
of
that
area.
J
D
D
D
C
All
right,
thank
you
blair
here,
I
think
I'll.
Maybe
try
saint
blair
for
a
while
blair
here
to
speak
to
there's
about
four
items
I
wanted
to
speak
to
item
2.18
is
about
repair
services
for
emergency
shelters.
I've
just
learned
about
the
uv,
ray
ideas
for
air
filtration
systems
and
how
that
can
help
with
covid
good
luck
on
those
efforts
and
other
aerosol
vaccines
that
can
be
used
in
that
conversation
item
2.22
is
emergency
notification
and
communication
in
vehicles.
I
just
wanted
to
quickly
remind
with
the
good
work
of
the
bayric
system.
C
Emergency
system
that's
been
developed.
I
hope
there
can
be
a
some
sort
of
emergency
channel
system
for
the
public
to
be
created
in
the
time
of
emergency
as
well
and
with
items
2.27
to
2.32.
These
are
about
technology
and
surveillance
things.
The
ideas
of
open
public
policy
are
really
really
important
and
I
hope
we
can
work
on
these
practices
better
thanks.
M
Hello,
my
name
is
thomas
ells
and
I
am
a
registered
civil
engineer
and
I
sent
a
an
rfi
preliminary
proposal
regarding
2.32
the
I
believe
it's
our
contract
regarding
the
rfp,
and
I
hope
I
sent
an
email
to
to
district
one
three
and
six,
as
well
as
the
the
city
manager
and
the
director
of
transportation,
and
tried
to
get
those
around
to
as
many
people
as
possible.
That
was
just
yesterday
and
I
think
it's
really
great
that
you're
entertaining
this.
This
is
really
fantastic.
J
J
We
don't
even
have
to
say
it,
but
we
know
where
it's
at
so
when
they're
conducting
their
meetings,
though
it's
putting
their
priority
on
district
six
and
and
you
see
if
the
city
is
going
to
start
using
term
equity,
it
needs
to
teach
the
public
and
model
for
the
public
exactly
what
that
means.
In
terms
of
its
city's
response
to
policy,
the
equity
principle
is
centered
in
the
policy
and
the
policy
impacts
that
which
is
inequitable,
and
so
I
kind
of
if
you
can
just
like
correct
that,
then
people
would
know
what
equity
means.
B
B
E
D
D
Gonna
have
a
lot
more
to
say
about
dave,
it'll
be
much
more
inspiring
and
perhaps
embarrassing
when
we
have
his
retirement
party,
but
I
I
wanted
certainly
to
recognize
his
three
decades
of
service
to
our
city
in
this
formal
meeting
as
well
and
to
say
a
little
bit
about
his
journey
here.
He
he
joined
the
city
in
1987
as
a
part-time
engineering
trainee.
D
So
he's
come
a
long
way.
He
served
in
several
leadership
roles.
While
I
was
here
on
the
council,
I
remember
him
being
the
director
of
public
works
and
then
he
somehow
got
recruited
to
fill
in
a
a
vacancy
over.
You
know,
temporarily,
over
at
planning
and
building,
which
was
incredibly
difficult,
a
thing
to
pull
off
jumping
into
something
like
that
and
dave.
D
That
was,
I
guess,
what
a
decade
and
a
half
ago
now,
with
the
voter
approved
bonds
they
had
then,
and
now
we're
back
into
even
bigger
investments
with
our
our
measure,
t
and
other
bonds
dave.
I
think
many
of
you
may
know
he's
he
was
actually
he's
an
immigrant.
He
was
born
in
the
united
kingdom,
raised
here
in
san
jose.
D
He
has
a
bachelor
of
master's
degree
in
civil
engineering
from
san
jose
state
university,
where
I
know
his
daughter
also
proudly
attends,
and
I
seem
to
believe
I'm
trying
to
remember
dave
if
your
your
son
is
either
senior
in
high
school
or
he's
already
in
san
jose
state.
I
can't
remember
which
he's
at
san
jose
state
as
well.
Yes,
that's
right!
Okay,
that's
what
I
thought
so
you've
got
two
spartans
in
the
family
and
your
wife.
D
Elizabeth
has
been
incredibly
patient
with
the
extraordinary
commitment
of
time
and
energy
and
passion
you've
given
to
the
city,
because
I
know
that
this
is
something
that
is
a
sacrifice
for
the
whole
family,
and
I
appreciate
elizabeth's
willingness
to
allow
you
to
serve
in
the
way
that
you
have
and
with
the
great
passion
that
you
have.
You
know
I
just
want
to
say
a
couple
things.
First,
that
you
know
I've
been
through
quite
a
few
challenges
and
crises
during
the
time
that
dave's
been
here
not
of
his
making.
D
I'm
grateful,
certainly
for
that
leadership.
I'm
grateful
for
his
his
sacrifice.
It
has
been
a
sacrifice.
I
think
a
lot
of
folks
may
not
know
that
dave
probably
gave
up
a
lot
of
money
by
continuing
to
work
here.
In
fact,
I
know
he
did,
and
it
has
some
of
it
has
to
do
with
an
irs
rule
which
has
us
in
lawsuits
with
some
of
our
our
city
employees,
but
that
was
never
dave's
intention.
D
His
is
his
deep
regard
for
the
people
who
serve
our
community
and
it
it
shows,
through
in
his
in
every
day
and
his
decisions
and
and
and
how
he
interacts
and
behaves,
and
I
just
appreciate
what
a
great
role
model
you've
been
today
for
all
of
us
and
your
in
your
leadership,
and
I
appreciate
very
much
your
friendship
over
the
last
several
years
so
I'll
allow
my
colleagues
to
offer
any
rebuttal.
They'd,
like
vice
mayor
jones,
thank
you.
N
Mayor,
I
just
want
to
say
dave:
it's
been
an
honor
and
a
privilege
to
to
work
with
you.
It
seems
from
the
moment
you
came
on
or
into
the
position
of
city
manager
that
we've
whipsawed
from
one
crisis
to
another
and
through
all
of
those
crises,
and
you
know,
situations
that
we've
had
that
really
required
a
you
know
a
steady
hand,
a
calm,
demeanor
professionalism.
N
You
exhibited
all
those
traits,
you've
done
a
masterful
job
of
really
navigating
the
city
through
all
these
trying
and
difficult
times,
and
you
know
we're
coming
out
on
the
other
side
and
a
lot
of
is
due
to
your
professionalism,
your
leadership
and
your
vision
of
guiding
the
city.
And
it's
been
a
pleasure
to
work
with
you
we've.
You
know,
we've
had
many
conversations
both
about
specific.
You
know,
city
issues
as
well.
F
F
L
Thank
you
mayor,
thank
you
for
your
words
well
said
by
all
of
my
colleagues,
and
I'm
sure
everyone
will
will
have
very
similar
things
to
say
dave.
I
really
appreciate
your
professionalism,
your
balance,
your
calm
demeanor,
even
in
our
101s,
where
I
was
frustrated,
especially
as
a
new
council
member,
and
not
understanding
the
process
or
the
system,
the
big
bureaucratic
system
that
we
navigate,
but
I
always
appreciated
that
you
bring
to
our
one-on-ones
and
to
these
these
meetings
a
sense
of
calm
and
balance.
L
You
have
tremendous
patience
in
dealing
with
us,
there's
a
lot
of
personalities
around
the
days
and-
and
you
do
so
with
such
professionalism
and
an
unbiased
approach,
so
that
we
all
know
that
we
all
feel
that
we're
being
respected
and
treated
in
the
same
way,
and
I
truly
that's
an
art-
and
I
truly
am
grateful
for
that.
It's
actually
been
an
honor
and
a
privilege
to
have
worked
with
you.
I
value
our
one-on-ones
tremendously
and
appreciate
your
professionalism.
L
Your
follow-through,
you
know,
others
have
mentioned
your
patience,
your
calm
demeanor.
I
can't
say
it
enough.
You
in
in
all
that
we've
been
through
in
the
last
few
years
year
and
a
half
it's
amazing,
to
see
how
calm
you
still
retain,
even
though
inside
you
may
be
seething,
we
never
see
that
we
never
see
the
stress
and
anxiety
we
see
and
and
in
others
we
do,
but
in
you
we
don't.
L
So
as
our
leader
as
the
leader
of
the
city,
you
led
your
staff
well
and
you
helped
guide
us
all
through
really
really
difficult
times.
I
do
appreciate
getting
to
know
you
and
the
legacy
that
you
will
leave
behind
with
your
staff
and
with
the
city
of
san
jose.
I
wish
you
the
best
in
retirement,
take
advantage
of
those
years.
You're
still
young,
so
go
out
and
do
something
fabulous
and
make
some
wonderful
memories
for
you
and
your
family.
It's
a
pleasure
to
know
you
thanks
dave.
O
Hi
dave,
I
want
to
just
jump
on
the
bandwagon
of
thanks
and
appreciation.
I
I
really
you
know,
I
think,
just
echoing
much
of
what
was
said,
appreciated
your
thoughtfulness
and
your
openness
and
really
the
leadership
that
you've
provided
during
the
course
of
many
challenging
times
here
in
the
city
during
the
time
that
I've
been
here
and-
and
that's
in
addition
to
the
many
many
years
of
service
before
you
even
jumped
into
that
role.
O
As
the
mayor
indicated,
like
others,
I've
enjoyed
our
conversations
and
and
really
your
your
poker
face
your
steadfastness
in
the
face
of
criticism
and
challenges.
You
always
seem
to
be
just
very
composed
and-
and
I
think,
that's
a
that's
a
quality
that
we
all
try
to
emulate
one
time
in
a
or
another
and
really
appreciate
that
about
you
and
just.
O
Lastly,
I
want
to
say
that
I
suspect
that
you
have
your
fingerprints
all
over
this
city
and
many
of
the
departments
and
lives
and
employees
that
you've
touched
and-
and
I
want
to
say
just
very
honestly
that
I
think
the
city's
better
for
it
and
I
really
appreciate
your
service.
So
I
hope
you
spend
a
lot
of
time
on
the
beach
somewhere.
O
B
B
B
B
I
think
I've
heard
people
say
that
you're
absolutely
understanding
and
flexible
and
flexible
and
and
it's
hard
to
believe
that
you're
an
engineer
I
I
don't
know
if
I
see
that
very,
very
commonly,
but
all
kidding
aside,
I'm
I'm
really
gonna
miss
you.
I'm
gonna
miss
your
leadership
and
your
guidance,
and
I
wish
you
all
the
best
and
and
hope
you
enjoy
this
second
venture
of
your
life
and
and
if
you've
completed
this
in
30
years.
I
can't
imagine
what
you're
going
to
do
in
the
next
30.
So
congratulations.
K
It
really
has
been
one
crisis
after
the
next
since
you
have
stepped
in,
and
you
have
navigated
our
city,
our
city,
employees,
through
it
all
and
and
done
so
with
calm
and
patience
and
leadership
that
it
really
should
be
the
envy
of
anybody
and-
and
you
stuck
through,
I
think
you
know
really
in
in
times
when
you
could
have
decided
to
hang
up
the
hat,
especially
throughout
this
past
year.
But
you
continued
through
and
and
helped
us
navigate
through.
K
It
takes
a
particular
dedication
for
public
service
and,
and
you
have
to
continue,
you
have
to
multiply
that
as
you
go
up
through
the
levels
really
and
to
to
do
the
work
that
you've
done
so
hats
off
to
you.
I
I
echo
the
you
know
the
hopes
that
you
you
are
able
to
enjoy
some
time
with.
You
know
yourself
and
your
family
and
enjoy
this
next
stage
of
your
life.
Congratulations.
B
Thank
you.
I
just
I
wanted
to
to
say
thank
you
to
dave,
I
you
could
have
retired
anytime
and
stayed
with
us
and
led
us
through
a
pandemic
through
wildfires
through
protests
and
a
reckoning,
and
none
of
that
was
easy
and
I
think
your
leadership,
your
calm
leadership,
was
really
important
and
getting
us
through
that
and
leading
the
whole
city
through
that
and
and
really
uncharted
waters.
B
B
Don't
shy
away
from
from
difficult
things
that
we
need
to
work
through
as
a
city
every
time
something
has
come
up
that
we
it's.
You
know
that
hairy
monster
that
we
have
to
work
through
you're
like
all
right,
let's
go,
let's
do
it,
let's
do
what's
right
and-
and
lastly,
I
just
wanted
to
thank
you
for
your
integrity.
B
There
are
so
many
instances
where
I
have
seen
your
integrity
and
and
appreciated
that,
and
I
think
that
that's
a
really
important
character,
trait
right
in
in
times
when
we're
tempted
by
expediency
to
really
have
that
north
star,
and
so
I
just
wanted
to
thank
you
for
everything
you've
done
for
us.
Thank
you.
E
Thanks
mayor
hi
dave
I'll
I'll,
second,
the
encouragement
to
get
out
on
the
beach.
I
hope
you
enjoy
your
retirement
and
I'll
be
brief,
because
I
I
haven't
had
the
opportunity
to
know
you
as
long
as
most
of
my
colleagues,
but
you
know
I
just
want
to
thank
you
for
the
great
conversations
we've
had,
I
think,
similar
to
as
councilmember
foley
mentioned.
E
I
think
you've
really
made
onboarding
to
the
city,
a
pleasure
and
I've
just
appreciated
every
conversation
we've
had
I've
also
really
valued,
and
I
think
learned
from
something
that
I
think
relates
to
councilmember
jimenez's
point
about
your.
I
think
you
mentioned
your
poker
face
and
and
to
me
I
mean
just
to
riff
on
that
a
little
I
think,
you've
in
every
tough
decision
or
recommendation
that
I've
witnessed
you
bringing
forward.
E
I
I
I
I
You
undoubtedly
saved
lives,
and
I
know
it
was
a
collective
effort,
no
doubt,
but
your
leadership
made
all
of
the
difference
in
the
world,
especially
during
this
time,
and
I
didn't
have
to
fight
you
on
what
it
meant
to
have
equity
in
one
of
the
largest
cities
in
the
country.
I
didn't
have
to
fight
you
or
convince
you
on
what
it
meant
to
fight
for
the
most
vulnerable
people
in
the
city
of
san
jose
in
the
wealthiest
region
in
the
state
of
california.
I
So
I
want
to
thank
you
on
behalf
of
of
the
east
side
of
san
jose
and
my
neighbors
and
the
people
that
I
represent.
I
know
that
that
you
don't
know
everybody's
name
on
the
east
side.
You
haven't
seen
everybody's
face,
but
I
know
that
you
know
what
was
at
stake
and
so
for
that
I'm
incredibly
grateful,
and
I
hope
that,
as
you
are
enjoying
a
nice
little
drink
on
the
beach
and
you're
slathering
that
zinc.
I
D
H
P
I
think
I
would
I
mean
obviously
well
maybe
not
obviously,
but
certainly
appreciate
everything
that
was
said.
It's
quite
overwhelming.
To
be
honest
with
you,
you
know
it's
it's.
It
has
been
my
honor
to
to
serve
this
great
city.
As
was
mentioned,
the
city
I
immigrated
to
in
the
city.
I
grew
up
in
and
got
all
my
education
in.
It's
just
been
just
a
complete
honor
to
serve
this.
This
community.
It's
been
an
honor
to
support
all
the
work
that
you
guys
do
in
the
council.
P
It's
just
super
hard
work
and
I
just
have
so
much
respect
for
for
you
all
and
your
predecessors.
You
know
it
wasn't.
You
know
at
the
beginning
of
my
career,
where
I
fully
understood
everything
it.
You
know
it
takes
time
and
you've
been
here
almost
35
years.
You
don't
really.
You
first
started
the
city,
you
barely
even
know
who
the
mayor
and
the
council
are.
To
be
honest.
P
I
don't
know
if
that's
a
secret,
but
but
over
time
I
certainly
have
grown
and
appreciated
just
the
work
that
you
all
do
and
it's
been
great
working
with
all
of
you
individually.
You
know
I
I've
always
found
it
super
important
to
to
keep
our
one-on-ones
and
and
boy
howdy.
All
of
you
did
too,
and
so
just
been
great,
you
know.
I
I
also
take
a
lot
of
pride
in
in
terms
of
you
know
my
leadership
of
the
the
city
team,
the
city
organization.
P
You
know,
I
think
we
just
have
just
the
best
workforce
in
in
the
world.
You
know
and-
and
they
sometimes
hear
me
say
this-
you
know
I
people
ask
you:
do
you
have
trouble
sleeping
at
night,
because
you
know
everything
that
can
go
wrong
and
things
do
go
wrong.
We
all
know
that,
but
I
I
never
lose
sleep
worrying
about
that.
The
fact
that
city
employees
aren't
going
to
do
the
right
job
or
a
good
job
or
the
right
thing.
I
I
you
know.
P
P
Every
single
day
to
make
a
difference
in
people's
lives-
and
I
think
that's
that's
the
great
thing
about
this
job
and
it
certainly
makes
up
for
all
the
the
challenges
and
and
the
hardships
and-
and
the
stresses
for
sure
is
just
knowing
that
we
have
that
opportunity
to
make
a
difference
in
in
our
residence
lives
every
single
day.
And
that's
that's
what
I
tell
every
single
new
employee
that
comes
in
the
door.
P
Every
two
weeks
I
meet
with
every
single
new
employee,
and
I
I
express
this
opportunity
to
them
and
to
think
of
their
career
here
at
the
city
of
san
jose
as
an
opportunity
to
make
a
difference
in
people's
lives.
You
know,
I
will
say
a
kind
of
a
side
note
I
used
to.
I
sit
next
to
the
vice
mayor
and
I
used
to
tell
him
how
tuesdays
were
my
favorite
day,
and
I
sincerely
meant
that,
because
the
you
know,
council
meeting
meant
an
opportunity
to
get
things
done.
P
I
have
admitted
to
the
vice
mayor
that
they
became
a
little
less
favorite
days
after
a
while,
but
I
I'm
also
proud
to
tell
you
that
I
have
in
my
career
and
obviously
in
the
early
parts
of
my
credit
attend
council
meets,
but
in
my
entire
career
I've
never
missed
a
council
meeting,
never
happened.
So
it's
been
a
big
deal
to
me
to
to
you
know
have
that
commitment
to
the
work.
I
know
there's
times
where
things
come
up
and
people
do
miss
it.
So
I
don't
want
to.
P
P
Undoubtedly,
I'm
going
to
miss,
I
think,
serving
the
community,
I'm
looking
forward
to
some
time
off
and
some
you
know
kind
of
just
kind
of
take
a
step
back
and
think
about
what
what's
next,
but
I
I
have
a
feeling,
I'm
gonna
miss
serving
the
community
so
and
I'm
not
going
anywhere
so
undoubtedly
we'll
our
paths
will
cross
again
and-
and
I
do
see
myself
kind
of
continuing
in
some
role
somewhere
down
the
road
in
serving
the
community.
So
we'll
see
we'll
see
how
that
plays
out.
