Good,
thank
you
and
think
thank
you
to
the
mayor
and
the
council
for
this
opportunity
for
us,
for
this
dedicated
time
to
really
talk
through
how
we're
going
to
transition
into
recovery
here
and
there's
a
lot
of
thought.
That's
been
put
into
this,
but
a
lot
of
work
to
do.
You're
you're,
going
to
see
our
our
road
map
for
recovery,
which
is
a
specific
roadmap
to
the
to
the
work
that
we
anticipate
doing
here
and
and
our
goal
here
to
to
to
build
back
better.
D
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
So
as
we
move
into
recovery,
we
think
it's
important
that
we
all
have
a
really
good
understanding
of
what
this
work
really
involves
and
and
have
come
up
with
this
statement.
So
we
recognize
the
pain
and
trauma
that
so
many
people
in
our
community
have
endured
and
actually
continued
to
endure
during
this
time.
I
We
know
that
our
biggest
challenge
and
our
biggest
opportunity
is
to
foster
an
equitable
recovery
to
a
better
normal.
We
acknowledge
that
our
journey
to
healing
and
recovery
will
require
unprecedented
resources,
effort
and
creativity,
and
that
we
absolutely
cannot
do
this
work
alone.
It
must
be
done
with
our
entire
community
for
the
benefit
of
those
most
burdened
by
the
crisis
next
slide.
I
I
J
Thank
you,
rosalind
and
good
evening,
mayor
and
city
council,
I'm
surma
massiel,
director
of
the
office
of
racial
equity.
I'm
grateful
for
the
opportunity
to
participate
in
the
study
session
with
my
colleagues.
Who've
been
working
very
hard
to
alleviate
the
harm
for
those
most
burdened
by
this
crisis
and
in
keeping
with
the
equity
principle,
we
recognize,
as
rosalind
said,
that
our
biggest
challenge
and
our
biggest
opportunity
is
to
foster
an
equitable
recovery.
J
So
we
don't
end
with
race,
but
that
is
where
we
start
if
we
want
to
have
the
greatest
impact,
and
so
why
this
is
important
is
because
systems
that
are
failing,
communities
of
color
are
really
failing.
All
of
us,
and
we
know
that
there's
been
some
progress,
that's
been
made
over
the
years
when
it
comes
to
equity.
Yet
if
you
look
at
any
measure
of
success
like
income,
education,
health
and
criminal
justice,
significant
differences
in
outcomes
based
on
race
remain
deep
and
pervasive,
and
so
we
aim
for
equity
and
when
we
aim
for
equity.
J
J
So
we
are
working
with
the
city
staff
in
all
departments
towards
integrating
racial
equity
principles
into
the
work
of
each
department,
such
as
looking
at
data
and
disaggregating
it
by
race,
investing
time
and
resources
into
truly
listening
to
communities
of
color
in
a
way
that
works
for
them,
increasing
language,
access
and
etc.
So,
in
summary,
the
job
of
the
office
of
racial
equity
is
really
to
make
sure
that
racial
equity
is
everyone's
job.
E
Thank
you,
sulma,
and
what
you'll
see
here
is
the
roadmap,
which
is
also
going
to
be
our
roadmap
for
this
session.
So
we're
going
to
be
focusing
kind
of
a
mini
ted
talk
on
each
of
these
six
areas,
which
is
our
core
to
the
work
of
the
community
economic
recovery
and
then
we'll
end
with
our
questions
around
buildback
better
and
the
al
fresco
task
force-
and
I
forgot
to
introduce
myself,
I'm
kip,
harkness,
deputy
city
manager
and
along
with
rosalind
huey,
will
be
leading
the
community
economic
recovery
effort
from
the
city
manager's
office.
E
B
As
we
look
forward
into
recovery,
we
know
housing
stability
is
critical.
Not
only
does
housing
stability
provide
safety
and
security
for
our
families,
a
place
for
children
to
learn,
but
also
strength,
strengthens
the
health
of
our
residents
as
we
continue
to
live
through
the
ups
and
downs
of
this
pandemic.
Next
slide.
B
B
It's
difficult
to
quantify
the
true
scope
of
back
rent
due
within
san
jose,
a
january
2021
report
from
policy
link
projects
that
37
300
households
in
santa
clara
county
are
at
risk
of
eviction,
and
they
owe
a
combined
173
million
in
back
rent
of
those
households.
22
000
are
estimated
to
be
low-income
households.
B
B
We
face
a
dual
crisis
of
homelessness
and
this
global
pandemic,
even
pre-coveted.
Several
systemic
factors
are
driving
more
and
more
of
our
neighbors
into
homelessness.
That
includes
the
gap
between
the
rich
and
the
poor.
That's
growing
housing
that
it's
that's
affordable
to
the
lowest
income.
Families
is
not
being
built,
creating
a
massive
housing
shortage
for
those
most
in
need
and
long-standing.
Racial
inequities
continue
to
disproportionately
affect
who
becomes
homeless
in
our
community.
B
B
Overall,
santa
clara
county
is
generally
similar
to
other
communities
across
the
nation,
with
high
rates
of
homelessness
among
people
of
color.
These
disparities
are
particularly
prevalent
among
black
indigenous
and
hispanic
and
latinx
populations,
in
contrast,
non-hispanic
people
and
those
who
identify
as
asian
asian
american
are
both
significantly
underrepresented
in
the
homeless
population.
B
B
B
Next,
we
plan
on
adding
homeless
housing
assistance
resources
at
south
hall,
our
largest
shelter,
to
work
with
those
individuals
to
find
alternative
housing
options
and
later
we'll
need
to
change
the
long-term
operating
model
of
our
emergency
interim
housing
sites.
So
they
are
more
cost
effective
next
slide.
B
F
Thank
you
very,
very
much
nancy
klein
director
office
of
economic
development
here
with
jeff
frester
and
with
chris
burton
who
both
will
be
available
to
answer
questions,
I
want
to
say
that
you're
very
much
hearing
the
themes
of
working
in
partnerships
and
working
with
community
and
those
themes
will
continue
across
workforce
development
and
small
business
next
slide.
Please.
F
F
When
we
adjust
for
the
cost
of
living
and
also
asked
residents
what
would
happen
if
they
had
one
unexpected,
500
expense,
then
approximately
40
percent
of
households
replied
that
they
would
be
in
trouble
and
at
risk
of
particular
note.
Within
this
40
percent,
there
was
an
over
representation
of
latinos
and
more
general
immigrant
households
relative
to
the
overall
population,
as
you
you
saw
previously
in
in
the
housing
slides
next
slide.
Please.
F
F
F
The
dynamic
of
this
recovery
is
very
different
than
the
previous
2009
great
recession.
Job
seekers
are
concerned
about
losing
unemployment
insurance,
dealing
with
child
care
issues
and
facing
anxiety
about
returning
to
the
workplace
and
the
economic
picture.
Looking
for
jobs
in
a
sea
of
changing
industries,
while
there's
been
some
improvements
recently,
the
reality
is
that
the
mission
of
work
to
future
is
even
more
critical
than
ever
as
a
result
of
the
economic
downturn.
F
Next
slide
now
off
office
of
economic
development
and
work
to
future
will
focus
on
high
growth,
high
wage
occupations
and
career
pathways,
focusing
on
economic
mobility
and
inclusion
in
industries
like
information
technology,
health
care,
advanced
manufacturing
and
construction.
Trades.
Next
slide,
please,
over
the
next
three
months,
we
will
increase
our
outreach
to
low
resource
census
tracts
and
are
planning
to
move
our
one
stop
to
the
east
side
to
be
of
more
use
and
more
proximate
to
the
area.
F
F
In
fact,
unemployment
rates
for
all
affected
populations
remain
much
higher
than
what
we're
seeing
as
unemployment
for
the
region.
Overall
resiliency
core
will
provide
long-term
good-paying
jobs
to
individuals
in
high
poverty,
census,
tracts
and
they'll
support.
Small
businesses
as
the
economy
continues
to
reopen.
F
We
will
also
continue
to
work
and
engage
with
the
bridge
to
recovery
and
look
to
connect
with
over
60
agencies
to
enhance
services
for
people
who
could
benefit
in
the
most
impacted
areas.
Yes,
there
is
absolutely
much
to
be
done.
We
will
continue
to
prioritize
those
who
are
most
impacted
and
have
suffered
the
greatest
through
this
pandemic.
F
F
Prior
to
the
pandemic,
there
were
approximately
51
000
small
businesses
in
san
jose,
employing
roughly
150
000
people
staggering
to
note
that
in
2020,
roughly
44
percent
of
small
businesses
in
san
jose
close
their
doors,
it
is
a
staggering
number
and
we
are
not
sure
how
many
will
reopen
businesses
hardest
hit,
as
mentioned
include
the
hospitality,
entertainment,
general
retail
and
transportation
industries,
and
it's
also
a
staggering
number
to
note
that
75
of
san
jose
sales
tax
loss
in
2020
came
from
small
businesses
next
slide.
Please.
F
F
I
see
the
slide
says
27
000,
thank
you,
and
we
also
spent
a
focused
effort
in
the
rapid
introduction
of
alfresco
to
support
restaurants
and
outdoor
dining
next
slide.
Please
we
thought
it
was
important
to
also
include
a
discussion
of
the
arts,
the
small
businesses
and
the
entrepreneurs
and
the
artists
who
are
known
and
loved
to
us
in
san
jose.
They
contribute
over
100
million
dollars
of
impact
annually.
Here
grants
and
technical
assistance
availability
was
provided
on
a
regular
basis
to
non-profits
and
in
1920
approximately
5.5
million
was
distributed
in
about
130
grants.
F
A
stark
difference
came
to
pass
in
2021
and
roughly
1.2
million
dollars
in
tot
was
available.
Fortunately,
we
had
funds
from
the
coronavirus
relief
fund
for
the
art
sector.
73
organizations
received
roughly
2.3
million
dollars,
45
of
those
organizations
receiving
grants
serve
predominantly
people
of
color
for
artists
and
cultural
entrepreneurs.
F
F
F
F
We
have
continued
to
focus
on
digital
outreach.
Since
january
of
2021,
over
000
have
attended
small
business
webinars
we've
sent
out
extensive
information
via
digital
methods
and
have
achieved
approximately
a
34
open
rate
and
there's
been
access
to
hundreds,
hundreds
of
individual
businesses
through
direct
one-on-one
conversations,
also
through
email
and
phone
hotline.
F
F
The
the
hope
and
the
intention
is
to
shift
our
models
to
think
differently,
to
think
more
inclusively
and
make
resources
available
to
small
business,
to
cooperate
and
partner
with
work
to
future
and
find
ways
to
keep
expanding
those
who,
we
know
can
be
of
assistance.
We
aren't
looking
to
be
totally
providing
services
on
our
own.
We
know
we
can't
do
it
alone
next
slide,
please.
F
K
L
K
M
As
you
can
see
on
this
chart,
there
were
almost
700
000
meals
a
week
being
distributed
to
our
most
vulnerable
populations.
Pre-Coping
in
march,
2020
coven
19
began
circulating
in
our
community
and
the
level
of
food.
Insecure
residents
doubled
within
five
weeks
as
santa
clara
county
braced
themselves
to
address
the
public
health
crisis.
They
reached
out
to
the
city
of
san
jose,
to
lead
and
share
responsibility
on
the
food
front
line,
and
we
answered
the
call
to
serve.
M
M
When
the
county
of
santa
clara
asked
us
to
take
on
food
and
necessities,
while
they
focused
their
efforts
on
the
covid19
public
health
response,
the
city
of
san
jose
created
the
food
and
necessities
branch
in
the
emergency
operations
center.
All
of
our
work
aimed
to
center
around
three
core
objectives
to
feed
our
most
vulnerable
to
maximize
our
existing
food
network
into
scale
for
a
widespread
food
crisis.
M
In
four
weeks,
we
built
a
new
business
with
our
29
food
ecosystem
partners.
The
city
of
san
jose
went
from
supporting
3000
meals
a
week
through
the
senior
nutrition
program
to
supporting
the
distribution
of
over
2.5
million
meals.
At
our
peak
going
into
the
winter
holidays,
we
significa
significantly
ramped
up
our
meal
distribution
capacity,
as
a
surge
in
coronavirus
cases
resulted
in
a
statewide
stay-at-home
order,
which
further
disproportionately
impacted
our
most
vulnerable.
M
We
made
sure
that
our
residents
had
options
and
that
their
needs
would
be
met
and
it
couldn't
have
been
done
without
our
partners
and
volunteers.
We've
been
extremely
fortunate
to
have
over
8
000
members
of
our
community
stand
up
beside
us
to
help
those
that
are
of
greatest
need
during
this
unprecedented
time.
M
In
san
jose
next
slide,
please
currently
and
through
the
end
of
the
fiscal
year,
we
continue
to
focus
our
efforts
on
our
most
vulnerable
communities,
the
unhoused,
older
adults
and
medically
at
risk,
infants
and
children
and
finally,
the
economically
impacted
each
vulnerable
community
is
linked
with
specific
programs
to
support
these
efforts,
we
have
listed
each
of
the
corresponding
programs
with
the
vulnerable
populations
that
it
serves
next
slide.
Please.
M
And,
and
each
of
the
programs
listed
on
the
last
slide
are
supported
by
one
of
our
over
29
food
network
partners,
along
with
our
volunteers.
These
are
the
real
heroes.
Some
examples
include
first,
five,
who
run
a
program
that
provides
diapers
and
wipes
and
formula
to
infants
and
children.
Another
example
is
bateman
trio
who
support
the
senior
nutrition
program
for
our
older
adults
and
medically
at
risk
population.
M
M
M
These
programs
are
already
having
impacts,
as
we
see
school
efforts
on
the
ground
leveling
off,
but
our
programs
of
last
resort,
like
martha's
kitchen
and
loaves
and
fishes,
remain
steady
because
of
this
commitment
and
backing
of
the
federal
government
to
begin
addressing
foods
in
security.
The
bookings
institute
indicated
last
week
that
food
insecurity
rates
are
finally
coming
down,
which
is
welcome
news.
With
these
additional
safety
nets
coming
online.
We
are
feeling
prepared
to
begin
the
planning
and
analysis
work
to
transition.
M
M
The
key
message
here
is
that
we
recommend
continuing
to
support
our
programs
of
last
resort,
our
reimbursable
programs
and
supporting
the
activities
and
work
associated
with
second
harvest
food
bank.
We
also
recommend
that
we
promote
snap
cow,
fresh
and
meal
programs
that
have
long
term
and
sustainable
commitments
from
usda.
M
We
recommend
focusing
on
communities
and
geographies
and
most
need
to
be
matched
with
the
appropriate
food
assistance
program
or
transition
partners
or
participants
to
other
programs
as
necessary.
And
finally,
we
recommend
advocating,
alongside
our
partners
for
sound
food
policies
that
will
provide
additional
avenues
for
long-term
food
and
security
solutions
like
universal
school
meals.
To
make
sure
these
priorities
aren't
lost
as
the
emergency
operations
center
transitions
to
recovery
will
be
focusing
on
moving
the
opera
operational
governance
under
prns,
and
with
that
I
thank
you
for
your
time
today.
E
J
J
As
the
city
council
knows,
the
digital
inclusion
branch
of
the
emergency
operations
center
was
initiated
in
late
april
to
respond
to
the
urgent
needs
of
our
residents
to
be
digitally
connected
during
the
pandemic.
As
these
efforts
transition
to
community
recovery,
the
branch
will
transition
to
the
digital
equity
team.
J
J
We
learned
that
significant
real
barriers
to
household
internet
access
include
lack
of
investment
and
infrastructure
to
support
connectivity
over
time.
The
fact
that
many
household
plans
are
unaffordable
or
provide
a
low
value
for
the
cost
and
a
fear
of
what
is
being
connected
means
for
both
adults
and
their
children
in
terms
of
issues
of
privacy
being
monitored
safety
and
so
on.
J
To
address
this
urgency,
the
city
council
approved
the
2020
digital
inclusion
expenditure
plan.
The
plan
recognized
the
importance
of
leveraging
both
public
and
private
infrastructure
and
assets
for
the
benefit
of
residents
and
a
focus
on
extensive
partnerships
and
community
engagement
throughout
each
effort.
J
From
the
beginning,
the
goal
of
this
effort
had
been
to
achieve
digital
inclusion
by
addressing
areas
of
inequity.
This
map
was
developed
as
our
digital
inclusion
priority
index
incorporating
relevant
data
points
by
census
tract
it
included,
k-12,
enrollment,
poverty
rates,
household
computer
and
internet
access
and
populations
with
limited
english
proficiency.
J
I
want
to
note
that
we
are
now
talking
with
the
community
recovery
and
the
race
and
equity
teams
regarding
ways
to
improve
and
update
this
information,
such
as
orienting
it
with
new
place-based,
neighborhood
mapping
that
is
being
developed
as
we
implemented.
The
city
council
approved
projects
over
the
past
year.
We're
also
looking
for
data
that
demonstrates
that
the
city's
digital
equity
programs
are
reaching
areas
that
were
identified
as
highest
need.
J
Financial
challenges
were
identified
as
a
barrier
to
broadband
internet
service
subscriptions
and
almost
two-thirds
of
borrowers
indicate
needing
digital
skills,
building
support
and
just
as
a
note,
some
of
the
other
connectivity
activities
that
were
listed
include
unemployment,
applications,
stimulus,
payment
applications,
news
research,
online
payments,
housing
searches
and
entertainment
on
the
right.
This
chart
represents
the
top
10
and
there
was
a
tie
for
10th
hot
spot
borrower,
zip
codes
in
san
jose,
checked
out
by
residents
through
library
and
prns
programs
through
partner
agencies
and
school
district
referrals
and
through
independent
use.
J
In
the
zip
codes
listed
here,
there
was
at
least
one
borrower
represented
in
each
of
the
city
zip
codes.
This
data
does
not
include
the
school
hot
spot
distribution
which
did
have
a
saturation
with
our
east
side.
School
partners,
so
it
could
be
seen
as
filling
gaps
where
the
student
household
hot
spots
didn't
reach.
J
So,
regarding
the
student
hot
spots,
the
santa
clara
county
office
of
education
and
local
education
agencies
worked
diligently
to
identify
the
highest
need
student
households
throughout
the
past
year
and
we're
working
to
incorporate
zip
code
data
from
school
attendance
areas
and
I'm
going
to
turn
it
over
to
anne.
For
this
slide,
thanks
jill,
as
you
can
see,
this
new
map
view
allows
us
to
see
the
concentration
of
hotspot
distribution
around
the
city
indicated
in
blue.
This
data
includes
both
public
hotspots
by
zip
code
and
hotspots
distributed
through
school
attendance
areas.
J
The
city
council
and
the
neighborhood
services
and
education
committee
has
emphasized
the
importance
of
ensuring
that
we
are
addressing
needs
in
areas
in
most
impacted
by
covid
and
in
pink.
We
see
the
incidents
of
covet
positive
cases.
We
can
see
that
areas
of
purple
demonstrate
the
intersection
of
the
two.
J
As
we
look
forward,
we
will
continue
to
develop
tools
to
show
what
the
distribution
of
resources
has
been
and
ensure
that
we
are
addressing
those
areas
of
highest
need
and
greatest
opportunity.
We
will
be
working
to
share
this
data
across
other
mapping.
Efforts
specifically
regarding
housing,
housing
and
security
and
homelessness,
so
that
we
may
analyze
at
a
more
granular
level,
next
slide.
J
Of
course,
these
efforts
could
not
have
happened
without
the
committed
partnership
of
so
many.
This
slide
shows
only
about
half
of
the
organizations
and
agencies
that
partnered
closely
with
us
to
develop
and
implement
the
hotspot
distribution,
community,
wi-fi
projects,
community
engagement
and
awareness
and
digital
literacy
programs.
J
Not
surprisingly,
you
will
see
many
local
education
agencies
and
districts.
Key
coordinators
such
as
cetf
and
the
santa
clara
county
office
of
education,
community-based
organizations
such
as
siren
or
billy
defrank
industries
such
as
att
and
hp,
and
our
very
own
library
foundation.
Next
slide,
please!
So
where
are
we
now
in
terms
of
implementing
the
digital
inclusion
plan?
J
Our
school-based
hotspot
programs
are
in
place
through
summer
2021..
Public
hotspot
circulation
is
a
changing
metric,
but
we
are
seeing
more
and
more
demand
with
90
checkout
of
all
hot
spots
across
the
branches
partners
and
outreach
programs.
As
of
last
week,
600
chromebooks
and
120
ipads
began
circulating
the
week
of
april
19th.
J
Three
more
are
in
design
and
will
soon
be
in
construction
for
an
additional
168
res
68
000
residents
connected
the
final
two
attendance
areas
are
in
planning
stages
and
will
move
to
design
soon.
Nine
library,
branches
and
seven
community
centers
now
have
strengthened
and
expanded
outdoor
wi-fi
as
an
additional
connectivity
option.
Coverage
at
each
location
includes
the
parking
lots,
public
spaces
and
areas
within
100
yards
of
access
points
for
the
public
to
safely
access.
J
Throughout
this
time,
the
library's
family
learning
centers
have
been
conducting
digital
literacy
classes
via
zoom
and
online
tools.
Each
cohort
provides
eight
hours
of
instruction
from
november
2020
to
april
2021.
Eight
cohorts
have
completed
the
program
four
in
english
and
four
in
spanish
from
may
through
august
of
this
year.
The
plan
is
to
host
at
least
one
cohort
per
month
per
language
for
a
total
of
12
cohorts.
Four
in

J
Enhancing
wi-fi
and
additional
community
centers
to
support
both
resident
use
and
digital
literacy
programming,
enhancing
community
awareness
of
the
emergency
broadband
benefit
program
and
support
for
residents
to
reap
this
benefit,
possibly
partnering
with
other
efforts

the
strategies
to
reach
communities
around
vaccinations
or
health-related
opportunities
and

programs
all
along.
We
will
continue
to
adapt
to
federal
and
state
resources
and
programs
and
adapt
new
programs
to
meet
our
community's
needs.

Current
child
care
operations
include
preschool
programs
for
children
between
the
ages
of
three
to

families
in
the
most
impacted
areas
and
those
dealing
with
child
care
issues
and
barriers
to

We
have
leveraged
our
relationship
with

to
support
families
most
in

by
building
and
utilizing
a
referral
network
for
students
identified

referred
through
school
administrators
recently.
Both
prns

have
submitted
proposals
to
the
congressional
subcommittee
on

requesting
funding
to
support
the
expansion
of

development
block,
grant
funding
to
help
cover
the

will
look
to
identify
funding
to
continue
to
support
vulnerable
families
with
increased
scholarship
opportunities.
Prns

H
Exhale:
okay,
let's
start
again
good
evening,
mayor
council
of
members
of
the
public,
yes,
I'm
andrea
flora,
shelton,
I'm
with
parks,
recreation,
neighborhood
services
and
I've
been
acting
as
the
community
and
economic
recovery
director.
I've
had
the
joy
of
working
with
people
across
many
departments
on
many
projects
over
the
last
several
months
and
for
this
project,
I've
had
the
privilege
of
working
with
the
members
of
the
team
that
you
see
here
on
this
slide.
As
we
have
started
to
plan
our
place-based
approach
into
recovery,
I
want
to
thank
them
for
their
time
and
talents.
H
H
H
H
So
our
first
step
in
our
place-based
approach
is
to
map
every
neighborhood
in
the
city
by
creating
a
boundary
and
identifying
a
name
that
resonates
best
with
it.
We
started
with
neighborhoods
that
have
been
identified
as
communities
of
concern
by
the
metropolitan
transportation
agency
and
started
an
east
to
west
path
due
to
tight
timelines.
H
Our
next
step
you'll
see
here
a
portion
of
the
neighborhood
map.
In
a
near
view,
you'll
see
where
we've
used
single
census
blocks
or
attract,
which
is
made
up
of
blocks
to
define
neighborhoods.
In
some
cases,
a
neighborhood
may
not
fit
neatly
in
its
own
census,
block
group
or
may
get
swallowed
up
into
a
small
unit.
So
in
those
cases
we
made
sure
to
call
out
both
names,
such
as
doburn
and
capital
park
or
tropicana
and
lanai.
H
The
equity
atlas
currently
highlights
basic
demographic
indicators
of
race
and
income
and
integrates
national
best
practices
from
policy
link,
gear
and
others,
and
while
we
know
data
does
have
limitations
using
these
data
resources
can
help
us
compare
and
contrast
the
disparities
that
we
might
not
naturally
see
and
are
not
visible.
Based
on
our
city
or
community
experience.
E
I
E
Integrating
our
recovery
efforts
into
the
city
organization
will
entail
demobilizing
most
of
the
eoc
winding
down
response
functions
and
transitioning
recovery
functions
into
departments.
This
will
be
the
biggest
and
most
complicated
realignment
of
service
delivery
that
the
city
has
ever
undertaken,
spanning
18
functions
and
touching
almost
every
single
city
department.
E
The
usc
is
led
by
the
eoc
director
and
the
management
section
whose
role
is
to
be
the
thinker,
anticipating
the
needs
of
the
field.
The
management
section
shown
here
in
black
is
empowered
to
create
teams
as
needed
to
bring
in
the
genius
of
the
organization
the
people
with
the
right
skills,
regardless
of
rank
or
department,
put
them
together
and
put
them
against
problems
and
opportunities,
as
they
are
emerging.
E
The
resulting
cross-departmental
teams
that
are
formed
have
a
clear
governance
structure
and
are
given
an
area
of
responsibility
with
a
great
deal
of
autonomy
and
the
ability
to
call
on
support
and
resources
as
needed.
These
teams,
many
of
which
you've
heard
from
today,
can
be
tremendously
successful.
E
We
grew
the
eoc
organization
from
an
initial
team
of
about
eight
in
january
to
an
eoc
structure
that
encompassed
over
750
people
and,
in
fact
more.
If
you
include
the
field
operations,
we
borrowed
agile
methodologies,
such
as
road
maps
objectives,
as
measured
by
key
results,
okrs
and
scrum
from
the
tech
world
to
create
a
more
nimble
operation
and
allow
for
better
coordination
among
teams,
especially
where
levels
of
emergency
management
training
were
inconsistent.
E
A
massive
operations
section
that
oversaw
most
of
the
day-to-day
work
from
continuity
of
essential
op
services
to
child
care,
food
necessities
and
homeless.
Support
and
keeping
this
running
in
the
right
direction
and
coordination
across
all
units
and
documenting
the
effort,
as
required
by
fema,
was
the
very
competent
planned
section.
E
We
also
had
to
ensure
a
supply
of
materials
from
ppe
to
I.t
supplies
and
all
sorts
of
supplies
for
each
of
the
branches
they've
and
staffed
up
a
full
logistics
section
to
do
this
work,
as
well
as
the
work
of
refitting
and
outfitting
new
facilities
across
the
city.
In
addition,
not
shown
here
was
the
extremely
important
work
of
the
fiscal
and
administration
sections
and
the
recovery
section.
E
E
The
city
roadmap
provides
us
with
clarity
on
the
18
most
important
response,
recovery
initiatives
that
will
continue
into
next
year
and
where
we
are
beginning
to
transition
these
functions
from
an
eoc
model.
I
just
explained
to
an
approach
that
integrates
them
back
into
the
work
of
city
departments
and
the
core
work
day-to-day
of
the
city.
I'll
take
a
quick
tour
of
this
here
with
my
fake
laser
pointer
and
if
I
can
get
to
work
there
it
is
you
can
see
here.
A
lot
of
these
efforts
will
fold
back
into
our
hr
department
and
rit
departments.
E
This
will
fold
back
into
each
department,
primarily
being
responsible
for
the
continuity
of
services.
Federal
and
state
stimulus
advocacy
will
stay
within
the
city
manager's
office,
inter
government
of
relations,
beautify
sjang,
will
fold
back
into
parks,
recreation,
neighborhood
services,
but
maintain
a
cross-departmental
effort
for
quite
some
time.
E
E
Our
vaccine
task
force
will
actually
stay
in
the
eoc
until
it
is
demobilized
because
it
is
an
emergency
management
function
and
then
the
six
functions
that
you
heard
from
today,
housing,
stabilization,
re-employment
and
workforce
development,
small
business
recovery,
food
necessities,
distribution,
digital
equity,
child
care
and
learning
pods
will
all
be
folded
back
into
the
departments
as
well.
But
in
addition,
they'll
have
an
overarching
structure
that
will
help
guide
them
and
us,
as
we
move
forward
with
community
and
economic
recovery,
and
that
structure
will
look
a
little
bit
like
this.
E
So
as
you
can
see,
each
of
the
pink
items
that
was
on
the
road
map
has
been
translated
into
here.
On
this
chart
and
absorbed
by
one
of
the
departments
as
a
lead,
so
the
primary
departments
that
will
be
leading
this
work
from
an
external
standpoint
are
housing
parks,
recreation,
neighborhood
services,
library,
office
of
economic
development
and
you've
heard
from
jackie
and
john
and
jill
and
nancy,
as
well
as
their
teams
tonight.
E
D
Yeah,
thank
you.
I
want
to
thank
rosalind
and
kip
for
leading
the
effort
and
really
all
the
work
of
everyone
who
participated
tonight,
but
also
behind
the
scenes
and
leading
up
to
this.
You
know
that
I
can't
emphasize
enough
the
points
that
kip
made
there
at
the
end
in
terms
of
how
important
it
is
that
we
are
able
to
integrate
this
recovery
work
into
our
normal
departmental
structure.
D
C
I
Good
evening,
I'm
mayor
licardo
and
council
members,
I'm
dana
bennett
from
kids
and
common
and
we've
been
leaving
for
the
last
several
years.
The
opportunity
youth
partnership,
which
has
been
focused
on,
which
is
a
collective
impact
effort,
focused
on
improving
education,
employment
outcomes
for
young
people
not
connected
to
school,
nor
work.
I
Sometimes
a
crisis
opens
the
door
to
opportunity
the
pandemic
and
the
resulting
economic
collapse
showed
us
how
disconnected
and
inequitable
our
education
to
employment
system
is
and
how
economically
vulnerable
black
indigenous
latinx
and
other
students
of
color
are
not
well
served
by
it.
There
are
many
relatively
successful
safety
net
and
job
programs
in
santa
clara
county
in
san
jose.
However,
the
region
has
not
been
able
to
create
a
structurally
integrated
connected
education
to
employment
system.
I
We
need
an
end-to-end
personalized
workforce
development
program
through
a
structured
coalition
of
workforce
programs,
public
support
services,
private
employers,
labor
unions,
community
colleges,
adult
schools,
financial
institutions
and
entire
economic
sectors,
while
some
of
the
some
promising
employment
strategies
have
been
presented
tonight.
I
hope
san
jose
fills
its
roadmap
to
recovery.
I
It
leaves
behind
the
status
quo
and
examines
how
its
education
and
employment
system
can
be
integrated
and
scaffolded
to
create
a
high
quality,
end-to-end
education
to
employment
system
that
addresses
the
current
inequities
in
the
system
and
makes
it
easy
for
young
adults
to
engage
in
education
and
training
easy
to
persist
in
that
education
and
training
and
easy
to
step
into
living,
wage
employment
and
life
success.
Thank
you.
O
Greetings,
council,
members
and
staff:
my
name
is
joe
herrity,
I'm
a
resident
of
san
jose
district
six
and
I've
been
on
the
front
lines
of
youth
development
and
workforce
development
efforts
in
the
city
for
the
past
16
years.
I'm
here
in
my
role
as
the
director
of
the
opportunity,
youth
partnership,
which
you
heard
dana
just
mentioned.
Additionally,
I'm
involved
in
the
bridge
to
recovery
as
a
steering
committee
member
and
a
work
group
chair,
I'm
an
advocate
for
young
people.
O
My
comments
reflect
my
commitments
to
support
the
creation
of
a
true
opportunity,
ecosystem
for
youth
and
young
adults.
As
such.
I
deeply
appreciate
the
focus
at
the
outset
of
this
presentation,
particularly
the
intention
to
be
guided
by
the
wisdom
of
community.
A
recent
report
by
mathematica
notes
that
the
unemployment
rate
for
young
adults
was
more
than
double
that
of
adults
in
the
pandemic,
with
even
higher
rates
for
youth
of
color
young
people
need
us,
they
need
our
best.
O
I
am
concerned
that
we
are
readying
ourselves
to
design
more
one-off
unintegrated
programs
that
aren't
built
to
respond
to
the
complexities
of
the
lives
of
black
and
brown,
youth
and
young
adults.
We
cannot
program
our
way
out
of
the
inequity.
Covist
covet,
forced
us
to
take
account
of
young
folks.
Don't
need
another
program,
let
alone
programs
that
aren't
connected
to
build
back.
Better
young
people
need
an
opportunity,
ecosystem
and
san
jose
actually
has
many
pieces
of
the
opportune
opportunity
ecosystem
in
place.
Now
those
pieces
must
be
tightly
woven
together
into
a
seamless
system.
O
The
opportunities
partnership
has
been
working
on
these
very
issues
for
the
past
eight
years.
In
the
pandemic,
we
have
sharpened
our
focus.
We
are
zeroed
in
on
data-driven
service
connections
and
youth
leadership.
We
want
to
make
sure
that
going
back
to
school
also
means
connecting
to
an
integrated
system
of
supports
and
that
young
leaders
co-design
the
services
they
must
produce
specifically
on
youth
leadership
systems
and
programs
must
partner
with
those
who
hold
the
expertise
of
lived
experience.
O
To
this
end,
we
have
partnered,
with
a
small
set
of
workforce,
work
to
future
board
members
to
co-host
a
youth
forum
with
more
than
50
participants,
including
seven
young
leaders,
who
will
co-create
an
integrated
youth
workforce
development
strategy.
That
is,
lay
the
groundwork
for
an
opportunity
ecosystem
in
san
jose.
Thank
you.
G
G
Currently,
we
have
a
young
leaders
council
started
about
a
year
ago
from
opportunity
partnership
where
we
bring
in
lots
of
other
young
leaders
that
represent
their
own
non-profit
organizations
in
santa
clara
county.
Currently,
we
are
discussing
housing
because
it's
one
of
the
biggest
issues
that
is
restricting
youth
from
post-secondary
education
and
focusing
on
their
goals
right
now,
we're
actually
connecting
with
the
tiny
homes
project.
G
A
lot
of
young
leaders
are
out
here
really
representing
for
their
communities
from
sharing
their
stories,
and
I
have
a
lot
of
optimism
for
the
future
and
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you
to
our
great
people
who
work
for
our
city
and
everything
guys
described
earlier,
and
all
of
the
help
that
you
guys
have
been
doing.
I've
been
really
been
seeing
it
as
someone
who
works
in
the
nonprofit
world.
D
D
Hi
blair
beekman
here
to
to
ask
about
you
know
I
tend
to
have
a
more
a
larger
view
of
these
sort
of
things.
A
more
abstract
view
that
I
hope
can
be
incredibly
relevant
and
helpful,
though,
to
to
more
exact,
you
know,
practices
you
go
through
to
to
start
off
with
more
exact
practices
that
you
go
through.
D
I
hope
it's,
the
future
of
digital
divide
issues
that
you
know,
bridging
the
digital
divide
is
a
lot
to
do,
and
I
I
just
hope
that
they're
they
can
be
willing
to
want
to
work
with
open
public
policy
ideas
that
I
think
it
doesn't
have
to
be
an
adversarial
relationship.
It's
a
relationship
that
can
be
kind
of
a
hand
in
hand
to
really.
I
think
it
better
considers
the
future
of
what
is
sustainability
for
our
local
communities
and
for
our
country,
and
please
consider
it
with
the
ideas
of
work
to
future
union
ideas.
D
D
Basically,
you
have
a
bunch
of
good
ideas
and
programs,
starting
up
that
we
have
been
working
on
continuously
way
before
covert
19
and
we're
just
simply
continuing
our
good
practices,
our
good
human
rights,
good
workers,
rights,
good
civil
rights
issues
and
that's
important
stuff,
and
that's
how
we
build
our
sustainable
future,
and
so
thank
you
for
that,
and
I
mean
I'm
trying
to
learn
how
to
address
these
things
in
in
you
know
large-scale
questions
of
how
do
we
respect
the
future
of
federal
funding?
Can
we
accept
that
and
be
comfortable
with
it?
D
D
N
D
This
money
going
to
come
from
it's
what
I
want
to
know
a
lot
of
four
lease
for
rent
for
sale
signs
and
businesses
everywhere,
where's
the
money
gonna
come
from
nobody's
really.
You've
talked
about
a
lot
of
things
with
five
and
ten
dollar
words,
but
how's
it
who's,
gonna
pay
for
it.
I
I
would
like
to
hear
how
that's
gonna
happen.
D
Secondly,
if
they
want
people
to
learn
how
to
do
something,
what
they
need
to
do
is
send
people
to
the
rose
garden
that
I'm
at
right
now
and
fix
the
fountain.
Are
you
listening?
Dev
davis,
the
fountain
is
broken
again
if
you're
going
to
be
in
charge
of
the
water
for
this
new
google
village.
Thank
you.
You
need
to
learn
how
to.
G
I
truly
believe
that,
if
your
goal
is
to
get
every
resident
in
san
jose
the
digital
and
educational
resources,
they
need
to
succeed
in
whatever
stage
of
life
they're
in.
If
you
give
the
library
the
resources
to
do
it,
they
will
make
it
happen.
So
I'm
urging
you
to
support
this
work
to
the
fullest
extent
possible.
It
will
help
the
black
and
brown
communities
most
affected
by
the
pandemic
and
the
city
itself
recover
faster
and
help
our
residents
stay
in
the
city
and
get
jobs.
Thank
you.
M
Hi,
mayor
licardo,
hello,
everyone
on
the
council.
Thank
you
for
your
time
this
evening.
I
have
the
pleasure
to
be
part
of
a
lot
of
the
meetings
that
helped
bring
this
document
to
you
all
and
have
very
much
appreciated
the
generosity
and
support
not
only
of
the
time
of
your
city
staff,
but
also
the
funding
that
you
have
provided
two
loaves
and
fishes
since
the
beginning
of
the
pandemic.
M
However,
the
problems
that
we
were
facing
with
the
house
of
the
homeless
and
the
hungry
throughout
our
community
were
already
very
extensive.
Prior
to
the
start
of
the
pandemic,
we
were
looking
at
finishing
last
fiscal
year
at
going
from
547
000
meals
to
about
800
000
meals.
We
ended
up
serving
over
a
million
meals,
and
next
month
we
will
have
served
1.4
million
meals.
The
reason
I
bring
this
up
is
because
the
reality
is
covet
is
not
done
with
us.
M
Our
numbers
have
not
leveled
have
not
dropped
one
bit
and
we
just
continue
to
see
the
impact
of
of
the
pandemic.
We
are
now
going
forward
facing
a
situation
that
is
literally
four
times
worse
than
it
was
just
a
year
ago.
So
the
rhetoric
is
all
here
of
what
we
know.
We
need
to
do
collectively
in
order
to
move
things
forward
for
the
most
vulnerable
throughout
our
community.
M
We
now
have
to
have
the
the
will
to
actually
do
that
to
continue
to
fund
those
organizations
that,
as
you've
described
us,
we
are
the
last
line
of
defense
for
the
most
vulnerable
among
us,
so
being
able
to
continue
this
partnership
that
we've
gone
and
deepened
further
with
the
city
of
san
jose
is
really
paramount
for
us
and
we
are
looking
forward
to
continuing
to
move
things
forward
for
those
who
need
our
services
the
most.
It's
also
why
we're
working
to
try
and
build
our
next
commercial
kitchen
here
in
the
city
of
san
jose.
M
A
Thank
you
very
much.
First
of
all,
I'd
like
to
say
that
the
rose
garden
fountain
has
been
perfectly
functional
and
clean
every
time
I've
been
over
there
and
it
looks
like
all
the
streets
rendered
are
newly
paved
and
regarding
the
presentation
and
the
plans,
I
thought
it
was
a
great
presentation.
I'm
really
glad
the
city
is
doing
so
much
for
the
under
I'm
free
on
my
words
here
renee,
when
the
people
need
the
most
help
in
san
jose.
O
Hello,
mayor
locato
and
honorable
members
of
the
council,
my
name
is
nick
kwada
and
I
am
the
policy
director
for
the
silicon
valley
council
of
nonprofits,
in
consultation
with
the
racial
equity
action
leadership
coalition.
We
present
to
you
several
important
community
principles
around
insurance
and
equitable
recovery,
and
we
actually
have
58
non-profits,
who
also
signed
in
support.
We
previously
submitted
that
to
you
all
so.
First
federal
rescue
funding
is
the
people's
money.
O
Second,
local
government
should
not
seek
to
go
back
to
the
way
things
work,
but
should
strive
towards
building
a
more
equitable
future
for
our
community.
Lastly,
the
scale
of
federal
resources
should
be
viewed
as
an
opportunity
to
make
breakthrough
achievements
in
critical
areas
such
as
alleviating
the
racial
ethnic,
economic,
other
disparities
that
produce
so
much
debt
and
suffering
during
the
pandemic.
In
addition
to
these
guidelines
guiding
principles,
we
feel
that
the
following
must
also
occur.
O
Federal,
rescue
funding
and
federal
recovery
plan
should
be
highly
transparent
to
the
general
public,
including
dashboards
and
accessible
instructions
about
how
to
provide
input
in
decision
making
processes.
Funds
should
be
used
in
a
way
that
furthers
racial
justice.
The
county
and
cities
should
work
together
on
recovery,
planning
and
expenditures.
So
the
their
efforts
are
complementary
and
not
duplicative.
O
O
Community-Based
organizations
can
be
excellent
partners
to
support
government's
efforts
to
reach
community
members
with
relevant,
lived
experiences,
establishing
a
coordinated
council
that
reflects
the
needs
and
views
of
all
who
live
and
work
in
santa
clara
county
and
can
gather
community
input
about
strategic
investments
in
our
in
our
better
future,
identify
gaps,
make
sure
all
voices
heard
make
recommendations
and
then
track
results.
Thank
you
very
much.
D
D
Building
back
better
should
also
include
nothing
about
us
without
us.
What
I
mean
by
this
is
those
of
us
with
disabilities
should
always
be
at
the
table.
An
office
of
disability
affairs
and
a
commission
on
disability
would
help
the
city
far
more
than
what
we've
been
trying
to
cobble
together
as
a
unified
body.
D
D
That
is
now
known
as
events
svh,
matthew,
reed
from
silicon
valley
at
home,
mayor
council
staff.
Thank
you
so
much
for
the
presentation.
I'd
be
remiss
not
to
acknowledge
the
tremendous
amount
of
work.
That's
been
done
over
this
period,
and
I
know
you
you
receive
this
acknowledgement,
but
it's
really
important
to
to
recognize
the
work
that
the
city's
done
in
partnership
through
this
process.
I
want
to
speak
briefly
to
some
of
the
housing
pieces.
D
We
believe
that
the
at-risk
households
is
growing
from
the
number
that
you
received
and
this
this
is
going
to
be
additionally
complicated
by
the
fact
that
not
everybody
is
going
to
be
back
at
work
when
the
moratorium
is
lifted.
The
reality
is
that
rent
relief
is
not
going
to
prevent
evictions
throughout
the
city.
This
is
an
incredibly
complex
environment.
Everybody's
situation
is,
is
in
its
own
way
unique,
and
so
we
really
support
the
the
proposal
to
focus
on
housing
stabilization.
D
That
would
provide
a
range
of
full
support
to
to
address
the
complexity
of
both
the
resources
that
are
available
and
the
needs
and
be
able
to
make
referrals
in
a
way
that
will
take
pressure
off
of
the
system
by
creating
efficiencies,
because
we're
very
concerned
that
the
current
system
of
the
courts
is
just
not
prepared
for
what
is
coming.
Finally,
I
want
to
acknowledge
that
affordable
housing
is
infrastructure.
D
L
Mayor
and
council
good
evening,
jeffrey
buchanan
on
behalf
of
working
partnerships.
Usa,
certainly
you
want
to
want
to
start
off
by
just
thanking
city
staff,
there's
just
a
tremendous
amount
of
work.
That's
been
done
by
our
essential
workers
here
in
the
city,
responding
to
this
disaster,
and
I
think
you
know
certainly
from
the
from
management
to
those
who've
been
on
the
front
lines.
You
all
deserve
a
huge
amount
of
credit,
and
certainly
you
know,
as
we
think
about
recovery.
L
L
As
we
look
at
our
recovery,
we
really
also
need
to
make
sure
we're
thinking
about
how
what
what
what
our
policies
are
look
like
in
relation
to
the
city
workforce
and
what
are
we
doing
to
ensure
job
quality?
Certainly,
the
you
know,
from
digital
equity,
to
workforce
development,
to
housing
justice.
This
report's
laid
out
a
number
of
important
strategies,
but
really
coming
out
of
this
recovery.
I
think
you
know
another
speaker
spoke
to
us.
We
need
to
really
think
about
the
role
of
workers
and
working
families.
C
J
J
J
First,
rebuilding
efforts
and
funds
should
be
targeted
in
those
neighborhoods
and
communities
most
impacted
by
the
pandemic,
not
just
because
they
have
suffered
the
most,
but
because
that's
where
the
greatest
needs
are
and
the
inequities
that
create
those
needs.
For
instance,
as
you
complete
your
evaluation
that
was
discussed
earlier,
around
neighborhood
needs.
One
question
that
we
would
we
would
like
to
collaborate
on.
Is
you
know,
do
your
new?
Do
your
lowest
income,
neighborhoods
and
neighborhoods
that
are
historically
communities
of
color?
J
Second,
we
would
echo
the
silicon
valley
community
foundation's
comments
regarding
strategic
investments
of
one-time
funds
in
ways
that
create
ongoing
long-term
benefits
by
building
an
infrastructure
of
opportunity
through
investments
like
broadband
access
and
child
care
facilities.
And
finally,
we
would
encourage
you
to
continue
to
expand
and
strengthen
the
partnerships
with
other
agencies
and
organizations
that
the
city
has
created
during
the
pandemic,
including
the
fruitful
partnership
that
we
have
enjoyed
with
you.
Thank
you.
K
Thank
you
mayor,
and
I
really
appreciate
the
detailed
presentation
from
staff.
Clearly
the
amount
of
time
and
energy
that
went
into
that
showed
through
in
the
collective
effort
on
the
presentation
there,
but
I
think
more
so,
as
we
know,
it
has
been
demonstrated
this
past
year
on
the
collective
effort
from
staff
that
have
assumed
emergency
operation
roles
and
that
we
will
continue
to
to
assume
as
we
move
forward
and
into
recovery.
K
And
I
think
we
have
a
lot
of
lessons
that
we
have
learned
throughout
this
past
year
that
we
can
apply
to
these
next
phases
of
recovery.
And
certainly
I
think
that
that
was
demonstrated
in
the
thoroughness
of
the
presentation
that
we
all
were
able
to
see.
And
so
I
first
want
to
say
I.
I
was
very
happy
and
pleased
with
what
I
saw
and
what
was
presented.
K
I'm
very
very
thoughtful
in
regards
to
preparing
for
our
next
steps-
and
I
did
have
a
question
early
on
in
the
presentation-
the
first
section
on
housing
and
there
was
a
statement
on
the
slide
around
an
eviction
help
center,
and
I
wanted
to
see
is
that
is
the
idea
here
that
this
would
be
short-lived.
Or
would
we
be
trying
to
establish
something,
maybe
with
community
partners
that
would
be
more
ongoing
and
permanent?
B
K
F
Reagan
and
rachel's
nancy
klein,
may
I
jump
in
there.
We
are
working
with
the
housing
staff
with
team
san
jose
to
determine
timing,
which
considers
the
events
that
may
be
occurring
at
the
convention
center.
So
that
is
something
we're
working
on
literally
as
we
speak,
and
we
can
get
back
to
you
with
more
definite
timing.
K
So
I
wanted
to
first
say,
and
I
I
appreciated
comments
from
community
members
and
I
think
they
were
spot
on
in
in
a
lot
of
of
how
we
should
build
that
out
and
number
one.
I
think
the
focus
of
the
task
force
should
primarily
be
to
include
community
stakeholder
voices
so
that
they
help
develop
our
first
equitable
recovery
strategy
and
policy
recommendations.
K
K
K
P
Thank
you
mayor.
I
want
to
start
off
by
just
thanking
staff
and
our
city
manager
for
this
really
wonderful
approach
to
recovery
for
our
city.
I
am
very
hopeful,
as
I'm
seeing
some
of
the
the
pillars
as
you
began.
As
the
presentation
began,
I
saw
that
this
was
all
lined
up
around
people,
equity,
dignity,
empathy
and
action,
and
this
is
you
know
this
is.
P
P
I
do
have
some
questions
around
child
care
and
I'll
start
by
saying-
and
I
think
you
all
heard
our
president
biden
talk
about
child
care
as
infrastructure,
but
we
knew
this
last
year
and
that's
why
the
the
council
and
the
mayor,
we
all
supported
and
approved
money
to
to
ensure
that
our
child
care
providers
stabilized
and
also
to
ensure
that
there
was
families
who
make
a
little
bit
more
than
what
the
federal
guidance
says
and
and
disqualifies
them
from
certain
services.
And
these
are
like
the
gap.
P
But
specifically,
women
as
women
have
carried
the
burden
traditionally
in
in
the
household
pre-covered
and
certainly
after
covered
and
and
I'm
sure,
for
the
single
moms
out
there.
They
they
are
the
ones
who
are
really
struggling
and
as
we
go
back
into
school
with
all
these
really
strange
schedules,
as
I
mentioned
earlier
that
we
are,
I
know
that
our
pr
s
department
is
going
to
be
very
cognizant
of
that
and
and
puzzle
in
the
needs
of
our
of
our
of
our
families.
P
P
How
do
we
know
that
these
are
the
the
the
hardest
hit
and-
and
these
are
obviously
families
that
need
our
support
and
we're
providing
it,
but
I
also
want
to
get
to
the
next
level
where
we
are
identifying
the
the
the
families
that
are
going
to
say,
for
example,
the
emergency
rental
relief.
The
eviction
help
center,
maybe
the
child
advocacy
center,
that
is,
that
had
just
opened
last
month
through
the
county
for
sexual
assault
for
children.
P
L
People
we
know
that
we're
serving
through
other
means,
like
rental
assistance
or
something
and
saying
hey,
do
you
have
this
need
too?
We're
certainly
prioritizing
their
enrollment
into
our
programs.
So
we've
what
we've
started
doing
is
anybody
who's
scholarship
qualifying?
Which
right
now
gives
you
everything,
free,
there's
a
two
or
three
week
period,
where
only
those
folks
get
to
register
and
if
they're.
P
No,
I
love
it
and
and
as
as
frustrated
as
I
was
as
a
mom
to
wait
for
that
that
window,
I
was
okay
with
it,
because
I
I
just
think
that
that
is
the
right
approach,
absolutely
right
approach.
I
have
to
recognize
that
your
department
has
just
been
doing
some
wonderful,
just
responding
to
our
community
in
ways
that
I'm,
I
I
think
will
will
absolutely
make
a
difference
in
the
long
run
and
and
in
everyday
life,
so
that
our
families
can
get
back
to
work.
So
I
I
really
appreciate
that
john.
O
O
O
The
we
have
shared
a
bit.
In
particular,
I
have
been
a
rather
fierce
advocate
with
work
to
future
over
the
past
two
years
and
have
provided
a
a
160
page
packet
last
may
actually
about
one
year
ago,
with
an
immense
amount
of
detail
on
a
variety
of
these
particular
program.
So
I
think
there's
a
lot
of
opportunity
to
link
these
programs
and
services
together.
Some
of
it
can
be
done
with
data.
O
Some
of
it
is
through
contractual
alignment,
inserting
different
pieces
into
rfps,
but
most
fundamentally,
I
think
it
means
understanding
the
journey
that
our
least
resourced
community
members
need
to
go
through
and
that
they're
almost
always
needing
multiple
pieces
of
program
to
really
take
to
make
their
journey
as
easy
as
it
ought
to
be.
And
so
I
think
there
are
frameworks
that
exist.
P
What
the
other
thing
that
really
struck
me
about
what
you
said
joe,
is
that
that
you,
you
want
to
make
sure
that
there
is
the
this
consumer
that
the
youth
as
a
consumer
is,
is
connected
and
being
asked
for
some
feedback
and-
and
I
think
that's
what
we
really
need
to
do.
Instead
of
trying
to
figure
out
what
to
do
for
our
youth,
but
ask
our
youth
to
be
part
of
the
solution
dave
could
do.
D
P
Amazing
I
apologize
jeff,
I
didn't
see
you
on
the
screen
so,
but
I'm
really
happy
to
hear.
I
know
that
you
believe
in
the
hog.
Yes,
no,
you
don't
have
to
worry
about
that.
I
know
you
believe
in
our
youth.
I
know
you
want
the
best
for
our
youth.
You've
been
working
really
hard
and
making
sure
that
they
have
a
brighter
future,
and
so
I
really
appreciate
that.
P
P
We
must
be
all
connected
somehow
some
way,
the
the
the
other
piece
to
this-
and
this
is
my
last
bit
of
comment
I'll
come
back
for
my
second
round,
but
this
is
something
that
that
I'm
thinking
that
we
should
also
do
with
our
latino
community
and
our
community
of
color
that
that
we
should
also
check
in
with
them
to
see
this
is
our
road
to
recovery.
Are
we
on
the
right
road?
I
mean
I
I.
P
E
Well,
I
think
I
think
this
was
our
first
step
on
that
and
part
of
what
we
see
with
the
with
the
task
force
is
the
opportunity
to
do
that
on
an
ongoing
basis,
and
one
of
the
functions
that
we
know
we
need
to
build
and
strengthen.
Is
the
community
engagement
function
all
the
way
across
the
board?
So
the
short
answer
is
yes,
and
I
think
we'll
both
do
it
as
individual
programs,
but
also
collectively
as
a
whole
as
well.
E
P
Awesome,
thank
you
so
much
kip
and
congratulations
everyone.
This
is
a
beautiful
presentation
and
you
can
see
the
the
braiding
of
the
partnerships,
just
among
all
of
the
different
presenters.
It
just
didn't,
really
skip
a
beat.
It's
really
proud
to
be
in
san
jose
and
part
of
this
recovery.
So
thank
you
for
your
all.
Your
hard
work.
L
Thanks
mayor
and
thank
you,
staff
for
the
comprehensive
report
I,
and
especially
to
to
all
the
city
staff
out
there
on
the
front
lines
working
with
our
community
to
to
build
back,
better
and
and
especially
make
the
investments
where,
in
in
the
communities
and
for
the
people
that
government
often
hasn't
hasn't
served
so
well.
So
I
think
I
think
the
emphasis
is
well
placed.
E
It's
absolutely
critical
without
it,
we
would
still
be
wanting
to
do
all
of
these
things.
But,
honestly,
you
know
one
of
the
biggest
swings
a
couple
of
months
back
was
whether
we
were
going
to
have
a
second
round
of
the
funds
directly
come
into
the
city,
and
you
know
thankful
to
all
of
our
taxpayers
that'll
that
will
allow
us
to
move
simultaneously
across
all
of
these
fronts.
We'll
come
back
with
much
more
detail
on
this,
or
at
least
the
initial
round
of
detail.
E
I
should
say
on
the
may
17th
study
session,
but
I
would
say,
without
the
american
rescue
plan,
we
would
be
in
a
much
much
diffic
more
difficult
position.
We'd
have
to
be
cutting
and
cutting
deeply
at
essential
services
in
order
to
handle
some
of
the
bare
minimum
of
what
we
need
to
do
for
recovery,
and
there
would
be
no
way
that
we
could
be
nearly
as
ambitious
as
we
are.
L
E
L
L
I
noticed
the
scale
at
the
bottom
that
it
has
priority
from
higher
to
lower
with
housing,
stabilization
being
first
and
then
childcare
learning.
Pods
being
last,
I
believe.
That's
the
prioritization
level
that
that
council
has
given
staff,
but
I'm
curious
how
staff
interprets
that,
in
terms
of
you
know
what
it
means
in
practice,
you
know:
does
that
align
with
dollars
invested
with
staff
allocation
with
just
how
we're
resourcing
it?
What
I
mean
how
ambitious
we're
being
with
our
goals?
How
does
staff
interpret
the
the
ordering
of
those
six
boxes
that
we
just
went
through.
E
That's
a
good
question
and
you
know
in
the
past,
when
we've
had
discrete
projects,
we
viewed
it
pretty
literally,
but
I
would
say
I'm
actually
thinking
about
this
differently
than
a
series
of
discrete
projects
as
you've
heard,
and
I
think
in
many
ways
most
articulately
from
the
public.
You
know
these
things
are
holistic,
they're,
they're,
woven
together.
Somebody
doesn't
have
a
child
care
problem
on
one
day
and
a
rental
problem
on
the
other
day
and
a
feeding
problem
on
the
third
day.
E
They
typically
have
them
all
looped,
together
in
in
non-thorny,
complicated
ways
that
that
that
we
are
as
human
beings,
and
so
I
think
well
obviously
we're
going
to
have
to
decide
amongst
different
levels
of
funding.
We
really
view
this
as
sort
of
pieces
of
the
quilt
that
need
to
be
stitched
together
and
complement
each
other
in
the
right
way.
I
think
what
we'll
be
looking
more
for
in
terms
of
funding
allocation
is
the
primacy
of
the
city
in
solving
or
addressing
that
issue.
E
So
there
are
some
issues
where
cities
more
front
and
center,
and
so
some
issues
where
we
are
supporting
our
partners
and
so
we're
going
to
balance
the
funding
more
on
that
basis
than
strictly
speaking,
the
the
left
to
right.
Prioritization
that
you
see,
because
I
I
also
believe,
if,
if
you
were
to
think
about
the
distance
of
that
prioritization,
all
of
those
six
are
very
close
to
each
other.
They're
all
extremely
important
to
us.
At
this
point.
L
Okay,
thanks,
I
think
that's
fair.
I
I
get
that
these
challenges
are
interrelated
and
they're
all
really
important.
I
I
do
think
to
be
true
to
the
spirit
of
the
prioritization
process.
It
would
be
good
to
kind
of
see
or
to
understand
to
what
extent
council's
prioritization
is
reflected
in
either
the
ambition
of
the
goals,
we're
setting
the
resources
we're
allocating,
or
there
is
a
waiting
there.
It
feels
like
to
me
and
if,
if
everything's
important,
nothing's
that
important,
unfortunately,
we
we
do
have
limited
resources
and
staff
capacities.
So
all
I
I.
E
Couldn't
agree
with
you
more
and
I
think
I
think
it's
a
challenge
for
us
to
take
back
and
first
of
all,
make
sure
if
we've
got
it
in
the
right
order
and
pay
some
attention
to
it,
because
I
don't
know
that
I
paid
as
much
attention
to
that
as
I
should,
as
we
were
framing
the
order
and
also
then
what
that
means.
So
we'll
take
we'll
take
that
as
a
challenge
to
to
think
about
how
we
stack
rank
some
of
that
and
what
that
means
for
us.
Prioritization.
L
Okay,
great
and
then
all
my
questions
are
kind
of
along
the
same
theme,
but
you
know
not
to
be
nitpicky,
but
I
I
noticed
in
the
the
guy
and
by
the
way
I
thought
the
whole
presentation
was
great.
So
I'm
not
you
know
overly
critical
here,
but
the
on
the
guiding
principles.
I
did
notice
that
I
didn't
see
a
principle
that
aligned
with
the
idea
of
impact
or
results,
or
you
know,
council
member
arenas
just
asked.
L
And
I
think
personally,
it's
important
to
me
to
know
that
our
efforts
are
being
that
we're
measuring
we're
learning
we're
doubling
down
on
things
that
are
working
focused
relentlessly
focused
on
the
impact
we
want
to
have
we're
not
just
kind
of
pursuing
50
strategies
that
all
sound
good
and
just
kind
of
spreading
the
peanut
butter
real
thin.
As
as
as
an
analogy,
I've
heard,
yeah
others
use.
So
does
that
make
sense.
E
E
Part
of
what
we
are
talking
about
is
having
a
single
set
of
okrs
or
objectives,
as
measured
by
key
results
for
this
enterprise
priority,
and
then
the
work
aligning
up
to
that
being
able
to
check
in
on
that
on
a
quarterly
basis,
bring
that
back
to
you
on
a
quarterly
basis
and
hold
ourselves
accountable
both
for
the
taxpayers
funds
and
for
the
work
of
our
staff
and
our
many
partners.
So
it
felt
premature
to
bring
that
now,
because
we
really
haven't
haven't
figured
out
what
those
are.
But
our
intent
is
the
next
iteration
of
work.
E
L
That's
great,
that
tip
was
actually
going
to
be
my
next
and
final
question,
which
was
timing
of
some
kind
of
okr
model
so
you've.
I
know
that
you
answered
timing,
but
it
sounds
like
we're
heading
that
direction,
which
is
which
is
good.
I
I
will
say
at
the
risk
of
being
annoying.
I
I
do
think
it
can
still
be
a
core
principle,
even
if
it's
not
something
that
we're
able
to
report
out
on
yet.
So
I
just
I'd,
encourage
us.
L
So
the
core
principle
I
would
advance
is
if
we're
not
measuring
having
measurable
impact
and
making
that
a
priority.
I
think
we'd
have
a
problem.
I
maybe
it
was
assumed,
but
I'll
just
repeat
the
point:
okay
thanks
this
thanks
again
for
the
update,
really
excited
about
this
work
and
appreciate
all
the
efforts
today.
R
E
R
Sure
everybody
gets
down
safely
right,
yeah,
you
don't
always
get
to
do
the
fun
rappelling
down.
So
I
get
that.
I
want
to
also
thank
my
colleagues
for
their
comments
and
questions.
I
had
many
and
I
was
checking
them
off.
I
wrote
down
the
opportunity:
ecosystem
and
council
member
arenas
talked
about
that
council
member
mayhem
of
course
talked
about
dashboards
and
okrs
and
and
objectives
and
outcomes,
and
I
appreciate
that
because
I
was
wondering
the
same
thing
and
kind
of
on
the
flip
of
that
in
the
place-based
approach.
R
You
talked
very,
and
this
might
be
also
not
quite
baked
yet
you
talked
about
indicator
data
to
identify
the
neighborhoods
and,
and
there
weren't
specifics
on
the
indicator
data.
I
don't
know
if
they'll
be
I'm
guessing,
that
will
be
based
on
kind
of
what
we're
looking
for
in
terms
of
outcomes
as
well.
So
can
you
give
me
some
sense
of
what
we're
looking
at
to
identify
the
neighborhoods
that
we
want
to
use
this
place-based
approach.
E
H
Thank
you,
councilmember
davis,
how's,
the
mic,
good,
good,
okay,
thank
you
so
kind
of
just
piggybacking
off
of
what
kip
said.
We
do
need
to
work
with
our
recovery
departments
to
again
kind
of
align
at
the
program
level,
what
indicators
they
believe
their
they
will
be
impacting,
but
also
taking
the
lead
from
the
office
of
racial
equity
on
those
income
indicators,
the
racing
ethnicity
indicators.
H
But
we
really
have
multiple
sets
of
data
sources
that
we've
been
using
and
we
just
need
to
start
thinking
about
landing,
landing
and
adopting
something
that
works
for
us.
So
again,
we
have
a
uniform
common
understanding
of
not
just
what
we're
measuring,
but
where
we're
measuring.
So
we
can
do
the
compare
and
contrast.
R
Thanks
and
I
I
appreciate
the
the
mapping-
I
really
like
the
fact
that
we
kind
of
map
our
data-
I
think
the
I
maybe
I'm
just
a
spatial
person,
but
I
think
it's
really
helpful
to
to
see
it.
That
way.
I
did,
since
you
asked
the
questions
about
what
might
be
the
benefits
or
challenges
to
the
place-based
approach.
I
my
concern
is
how
we
cover
all
of
the
areas
without
making
our
staffing
too
thin.
I
think
what
did
councilmember
mayhem
say
spreading
the
peanut
butter
too
thin.
R
I
think
that's
that's
a
concern
for
me,
especially
if
we
have
hard-hit
areas,
as
we
know
across
districts
that
aren't
concentrated.
So
I
have
a
couple
of
of
harder
hit
areas
and
socioeconomically
disadvantaged
areas.
In
my
district,
most
people
don't
think
of
district
six
as
having
that,
but
they're
not
they're,
not
even
near
each
other,
so
or
they're
separated
by
a
freeway.
So
you
couldn't
just
have
like
one
center.
R
R
The
integration
of
services
moving
things
out
of
the
the
eoc
which
is
by
nature
ad
hoc,
but
also
agile,
into
back
into
departments,
makes
me
fear
a
little
bit
for
re-siloing
these
services
and
and
people
not
having
that
agility
that
they
had
or
that
same
mindset
that
they
had
during
during
the
eoc,
where
you're
talking
to
people
who
aren't
on
your
floor
so
to
speak.
Since
and
since
we
weren't
in
city
hall
we
didn't
have,
we
didn't
have
that
physical
separation,
as
even
though
we
were
more
physically
separated.
R
The
boxes
in
the
eoc
when
you
do
the
eoc
org
chart,
I
know,
are
super
fluid
and
the
boxes
in
the
org
chart
for
our
departments
are
much
less
fluid
or
have
been
were
were
prior
to
covid,
and
so
I
don't
want
those
to
firm
up
again
and
yeah.
Those
are
just
my.
Those
are
my
comments.
I
if
anyone
wants
to
react,
especially
to
the
challenge
for
staffing,
doing
a
place-based
approach
and
the
the
inter-departmental
coordination
where
you
guys
are
on
that.
I'd
really
appreciate
some.
R
N
E
One
of
the
things
one
of
the
things
we
realize
is
how
important
partners
are
and
and
how
our
non-profit
partners
in
particular,
have
the
ability
to
reach
a
wide
variety
of
places
and
people
that
are
harder
or
more
expensive
or
impossible
for
us
to
reach,
and
I
I
was
gonna
total
it
up,
but
we
had
a
lot
of
other
things
to
do.
You
know
there
are
literally
hundreds
of
folks
that
we
have
been
working
with.
E
I
think
you
know,
for
example,
the
rental
assistance
is
like
47
community
partners
as
just
an
example
on
one
program,
and
so
I
think
we
have
a
real
opportunity
to
support
that
ecosystem
and
that
ecosystem
should
and
could
be
have
the
capacity
to
reach
into
all
of
the
neighborhoods
that
are
impacted,
including
the
ones
that
that
are
in
pockets.
That
tend
to
be
more
in
on
the
west
side
of
town,
where
you
get
more
isolated
pockets
of
poverty
rather
than
larger,
larger
extended
neighborhoods.
E
E
For
example,
jill
mariani
has
volunteered
to
do
a
tour
of
duty
staying
within
the
prns
structure
for
at
least
a
while,
because
of
her
compassion
and
her
lived
experience
with
food
insecurity,
so
we'll
build
that
in
and
then
where
it's
not
purely
in
a
department,
we'll
spend
a
little
time
creating
an
agile
governance
structure
that
recognizes,
for
example,
in
digital
equity,
that
they're
going
to
need.
I.T
they're
going
to
need
public
works,
they're
going
to
need
civic
innovation
in
addition
to
their
ability
to
do
it
by
themselves.
E
If
we're
going
to
do
it
right,
so
my
my
hope
is.
This
is
actually
a
way
to
kind
of
steal
some
of
that
lightning
and
bring
it
back
into
the
organization
and
make
the
organization
departmental
organizations
more
nimble,
more
agile
and
more
open
to
cross-departmental
work,
not
by
forcing
it
on
them,
but
by
allowing
them
to
continue
to
use
models
which
they
now
know
well
and
have
have
demonstrated
in
practice.
R
Thank
you.
I
really
appreciate
that,
and
I
think
also
just
making
sure
that,
at
all
the
different
points
of
entry,
that
parks
and
rec
parks
and
rec
folks
know
about
the
the
library
services
that
are
available
and
can
say,
oh
hey,
did
you
know
you
could
check
out
a
hot
spot
just
those
little
at
every
different
kind
of
point
of
entry
where
a
resident
might
have
an
interaction
with
the
city.
R
S
S
I
I
really
appreciate
some
of
the
comments
that
both
the
public
comments
are
made
and
then
and
the
presentations
by
the
by
all
the
staff
members
they
would.
It
was
really
useful
one.
One
comment
in
particular
was
from
zulma
when
you
mentioned
lead
that
we
lead
with
race
but
recognizing
the
intersectionality.
S
That
means
that
all
of
there
may
be
a
member
of
the
bipoc
community
who
is
who
represents
all
those
other
categories
as
well,
and
we
need
to
make
sure
that
we're
taking
care
of
all
of
our
residents.
I
just
wanted
to
er
you.
You
already
answered
the
question
about
the
funding.
That
was
a
question
that
I
had
several
other
questions
were
raised.
S
I
just
want
to
throw
out
some
groups
that
might
be
included
in
a
task
force
when
we
get
together
and
or
when
you
create
it,
and
that
is
a
member
of
the
disability
commit
community
members
of
the
arts
community
to
echo
council
member
paralysis
statement.
It's
really
important
when,
when
I
think
of
the
businesses
and
the
organizations
that
are
struggling
or
that
will
be
the
longest
before
they
come
back
and
thrive,
it's
the
arts
community
perform
particularly
the
performing
arts
community.
S
I
think
that's
one
thing
I
just
want
to
throw
out
there.
I.
It
is
incredibly
important
that
we
focus
on
the
areas
of
greatest
need
in
the
city
of
san
jose,
but
there
are
areas
of
need
in
all
of
our
districts,
so
we
need
to
make
sure
that
we
take
a
look
at
some
of
the
areas
in
other
districts
that
have
need
as
well.
They
may
be
quieter,
they
don't
have
as
big
a
numbers
as
that
are
affecting
being
affected
by
evictions
or
covid,
but
they
are
being
affected.
S
Nonetheless,
we
still
have
small
businesses
that
are
shutting
their
doors
in
all
of
our
districts,
not
just
downtown
all
over
the
all
over
the
city
that
we
need
to
provide
resources
to
them
and
and
help
our
small
businesses
out.
So
anything
we
can
do
when
we're
considering
small
business
assistance
that
we
think
of
all
of
our
small
businesses,
not
just
the
geographically,
where
they're
located,
because
these
are
really
family
businesses
who
are
employing,
maybe
just
themselves
one.
Two.
S
Three
people
they're
paying
their
taxes,
they're,
paying
rent
they're,
paying
employees
who
then
are
able
to
pay
their
rent
and
take
care
of
their
families.
So
I
wanted.
I
don't
ever
want
us
to
lose
focus
on
small
businesses
all
over
the
city
of
san
jose,
particularly
when
I
heard
a
statistic
I
think
nancy
had
it.
Prior
to
covid,
we
had
150
000
people
employed
by
small
businesses.
S
That's
that's
incredible,
so
I
really
I
like
the
term
better
normal
too.
I
I
really
don't
like
the
phrase
build
back
better.
It's
just
not
good
english,
but
that's!
Okay!
It's
the
word!
It's
the
three
words
we
have,
and
those
are
that's
the
mantra
that
we'll
go
forward
with.
I
look
forward
to
more
detail
and
and
the
utilization
of
the
funding
that
we
need
to
make
some
of
these
programs
happen,
but
I
really
am
impressed
with
the
work
that
and
presentation
that
you
made
today
and
the
the
vision
of
the
city
going
forward.
T
You
know
thank
you
so
much
steph
for
a
really
great
and
very
thorough
presentation,
80
pages
wow
there's
not
much.
I
can
add
other
than
you
know.
I
want
to
thank
you,
for
I
want
to
thank
you
for
the
work
that
you've
been
doing
over
the
past
13
14
months
and
all
of
the
volunteers
that
so
bravely
came
out
in
spite
of
the
fears
around
covet,
19
the
unknowns
around
covet,
19
and
and
also
just
the
stressors
that
this
pandemic
has
put
on
all
of
our
families.
T
I
I'm
dealing
with
it
because
it's
it's,
it's
just
becoming
a
little
bit
more
pronounced
for
some
of
our
families,
and
this
is
of
course
dealing
with
some
of
our
homeless
population.
I've
been
I've
been
talking
to
jackie,
I've
been
talking
to
myself,
has
been
talking
to
reagan
and
olympia,
and
just
because
of
the
complications
and,
of
course,
there's
no
easy
answers
for
this.
T
D
B
Hi
councilmember,
that
was
right,
anger
with
the
housing
department.
Yes,
I
did
mention
home
key.
We
are
eagerly
anticipating
an
additional
round
of
home
key
funding
from
the
state
and
in
in
anticipation
of
that
funding.
We
are
looking
at
potential
hotels
and
motels
to
acquire,
and
the
the
market
is
good
right
now
for
purchasing
hotels
and
motels.
So
there
are
a
number
of
opportunities
were
exploring
rachel.
Anything
you
want
to
add.
T
Yeah
yeah,
thank
you
so
much,
and
what
does
that
mean
a
second
round?
That
means
that
the
governor
is
looking
at
releasing
some
more
funds.
Is
that
correct?
That's
right,
okay,
and
and
do
you
if
he
does
release
funds,
there's
probably
a
lot
of
unknowns.
Correct!
I'm
just
wondering
what
that
looks
like
for
our
city.
T
How
much
could
that,
potentially,
what
that
potentially
could
look
like
for
us
and
and
in
terms
of
what
our
responsibility
would
be,
I'm
just
trying
to
to
understand
what
that
would
translate
concretely
and
what
we
could
be
looking
at
concretely
in
terms
of
doors
or
units,
so
that
we
could
get
some
folks
off
the
street,
and
I
know
that
this
is
a
huge
gargantuan
lift
overall,
but
I
just
want.
I
just
want
numbers
at
this
point.
So
if
you
could
help
me
out
with
that.
B
A
I'm
just
looking
at
think
about
it
in
so
what
we're
trying
to
do
councilmember
is
basically
just
create
like
as
many
options
as
we
can
right
now,
because
we
know
in
doing
this
work
that
sometimes
things
don't
come
through.
You
know
it's
it's.
You
know
we
have
to
strike
a
deal
so
so
what
we're
doing
is
looking
at
as
many
options
as
we
can.
I
would
say
that
we
are
hoping
to
secure
at
least
200
more
rooms
through
this
process.
T
That
would
be
that
would
be
a
wonderful
for
200
individuals
that
could
potentially
see
an
actual
bed
and
a
roof
over
their
their
heads
and-
and
this
would
be-
and
I
want
to
identify-
who
we're
looking
at
to
house-
would
these
be
for
individuals
who
are
currently
on
the
street?
Would
this
be
for
individuals
who
are
about
to
lose
their
homes?
Would
this
be
for
individuals
who
are
in
shelters
who
would
be
eligible
for
the
home
key
program.
C
I
might
be
able
to
yeah
reagan,
I
don't
mean
to
cut
you
off
yeah,
there's
a
lot
of
legislative
activity
around
that
question
about
what's
coming
with
the
budget
this
year
and
I'll
try
to
cut
it
down
to
a
60-second
summary
about
a
month
ago,
the
mayor's
of
the
largest
cities
sent
a
letter
to
the
legislative
leadership
and
the
governor
asking
for
four
billion
dollars
a
year.
One-Time
funding
for
homeless
programs,
including
homekey
hap
and
a
host
of
other
programs,
says
funded.
C
We
were
successful
in
lobbying.
The
legislative
leaders,
because
both
the
assembly
and
the
senate
came
out
with
budget
blueprints
that
call
for
20
billion
dollars
a
year
over
five
years
again.
That
would
be
by
far
record
setting
for
this
state
or
any
other,
so
we're
grateful
for
that.
Obviously,
the
governor's
is
in
the
governor's
court
at
this
point,
and
the
governor's
budget
will
be
due.
C
I
think
in
the
next
two
weeks
I
don't
have
that
date
on
the
top
my
head,
so
we're
going
to
see
what
I
have
been
assured
is
that
there
will
be
a
multi-billion
dollar
commitment
over
multiple
years.
So
we
should
expect
that
home
key
money
to
go
up
this
year
for
the
city,
but
at
this
point
far
too
early
for
us
to
county
chickens.
T
And
so
I'm
I'm
looking
for
answers,
and
I
know
that
the
answers
are
are
some
answers?
Are
they're
not
adequate,
and
so
we,
you
know,
you
know
if,
if
there's
any
possibility
of
getting
that
in
the
next
two
weeks,
I
know
that
that's
still
un
unknown,
but
hopefully
we'll
we'll
have
some
answers
being
able
to
tell
my
residents
something
is
is
imperative,
but
something
concrete
you
know
I
can't
keep
holding
them
off.
This
is
this.
T
Is
some
of
these
situations
are
very
they're
hot
they're
hot
situations
right
now?
So
thank
you
for
that,
and,
and
and
you
know,
the
the
the
rest
of
it
you
know
has
been
has
been
asked
by
my
council
colleagues.
I
appreciate
the
the
very
the
the
very
provocative
conversations
are
taking
place
and
and
and
staff
really
having
thought
very
profoundly
on
these
matters.
You
know
the
the
the
magic
is
going
to
be
in
the
recovery.
T
A
lot
of
other
parts
of
the
city
are
doing
relatively
well
because
individually,
they're
doing
well,
families
are
are
still
you
know.
They're
the
their
children
have
received
support
during
their
disconnect
to
schools,
they're
still
receiving
the
kind
of
support
that
they
needed.
They
may
have
fallen
somewhat
behind,
but
not
like
some
of
the
other
students
who
were
completely
disconnected
for
up
to
six
eight
months
whose
children
are
struggling,
whose
families
were
left
with.
T
T
But
but
I
do
I
do
appreciate
that
we
have
to
lead
with
race,
because
because,
if
we
haven't
learned
anything
in
these
in
this
past
year,
that
covet
completely
exposed
is
that
our
communities
of
color
were
were
the
hardest
hit
and
they
were
the
most
disconnected
and
they
lost
the
most.
And
so
we
have
to
make
sure
that
they
are
maybe
not
made
whole
but
that
they
are
supported
and
that
they
are
the
the
focus
of
our
attention.
T
T
Languages
is
everything-
and
I
talked
about
you
know.
If,
if
you
want
to
talk
to
my
mother,
I
mean
she's
not
here
now,
but
the
immigrant
community
latinx
is
probably
not
the
best
way
to
speak
to
to
folks
and
and
of
course,
that's
a
point
of
of
controversy,
and
I
and
I
spoke
openly
about
that.
But
the
other
is
that
that
is
also
you
know,
there's
a
point
of
contention
among
the
community
and
I
think
at
some
point
we're
going
to
really
have
to
have
this
conversation.
T
Those
of
us
who
who
are
part
of
communities
of
color
by
puck,
because
some
of
us
feel
that
we've
been
erased
by
by
not
having
been
given
the
initial
or
by
simply
not
being
recognized
any
longer
so
communities
of
color
we're
being
recognized
but
bipac
deliberately
intentionally
erases
us
from
that
conversation.
At
that
point,
and
so
so
I
I
think
we
have
to
be
very
mindful.
T
But
I
just
wanted
to
make
my
point
mayor
because
we're
starting
to
use
that
language
quite
a
bit
and
I'm
one
of
the
council
members
that
represents
one
of
the
biggest
communities
that
language
like
that
is,
is
being
used
to
blanket
it.
So
in
our
effort,
a
recovery
or
in
our
effort
to
to
pass
policy
impacting
communities
of
color.
Q
D
Q
There's
a
lot
of
information
trying
to
take
it
all
in,
and
I
suspect
that
the
next
study
session,
or
the
next
meeting
will
retouch
on
this,
so
we'll
be
able
to
dig
in
a
little
bit
more
just.
I
wanted
to
point
out
something
that
stood
out
to
me
and
it
was
probably
a
small
part
of
everything
that
was
presented,
and
some
of
it
was
really
what
was
on
slide
eight
and
that's
where
it
has
some
language
around
community
and
economic
recovery
and
the
part.
Q
Q
Q
Folks
will
really
what
I've
come
to
know
is
really
only
take
assistance
if
they
truly
need
in
all
forms
right
from
from
the
government
from
non-profits
and
some
I
suspect,
as
my
mother,
they
would
refuse
assistance
simply
out
of
pride
that
they
want
to
be
able
to
provide
for
their
family,
even
though
they
probably
needed
the
assistance,
and
so
along
those
same
lines.
What
comes
to
mind-
and
the
reason
the
word
potential
was
important
to
me
is-
is
that
I
often-
and
this
is
the
part
that
frustrates
me
a
little
bit-
is.
Q
I
often
think
that
the
narrative
that
we
have
around
some
of
these
communities-
disadvantaged
communities,
communities
of
color,
poor
communities,
whatever
we
want
to
call
them
right,
because
there's
a
lot
of
different
terms
thrown
around
it's
really
that
the
in
my
mind
that
we
need
to
start
moving
well
before.
I
say
that
I
think
it's
important
that
we
do
it
and
we
have
done
it.
I
think
time
and
again
really
acknowledging
the
deficits
and
the
challenges
that
many
of
these
communities
have
and
continue
to
have
historically
and
into
the
future.
Q
I
suspect,
but
for
me
I
think
it's
also
important
to
to
to
to
move
the
conversation
from
the
deficits
and
really
start
moving
into
and
talking
about
potential,
because
I
think,
there's
a
lot
of
talent
there's.
A
lot
of
a
lot
of
that
is
just
left
on
the
table
in
this
community
in
these
communities,
and
so
that's
why
it
was
important
me
to
say
that
so
so
what
I
just
want
to
say
is
to
the
extent
the
staff
needs
to
be
reminded.
Q
I
think
just
built
within
them
right.
These
are
hard
working
people
that
are
resilient
as
hell,
and
so
I
I
just
don't
want
us
to
forget
that
in
this
whole
conversation
about
how
we
move
forward
in
a
better
way
as
a
city
and
back
to
a
better
normal,
as
it's
been
said.
So
thank
you
for
all
the
work.
I
appreciate
it.
I
think
the
residents
and
we
as
a
council
are
in
good
good
hands.
You
all
are
extremely
smart,
committed,
dedicated
individuals
and-
and
that
shines
very
brightly
to
me.
E
C
I'd
like
to
ask
a
few
quick
questions
about
sort
of
the
strategy
going
forward.
First
for
nancy:
you
know,
as
we
think,
about
high-growth
high-wage
jobs
and
just
the
dislocation
that
so
many
of
our
workers
have
suffered
and
it's
going
to
remain.
We
know
in
industries
like
hotels
and
travel
and
so
forth.
C
I
know
a
lot
of
folks
think
that
left
the
valley
a
long
time
ago,
but
it
is
still
happening
here,
there's
just
not
enough
happening
of
it
anywhere
in
the
world,
apparently
because
everybody's
on
back
order
right
now,
audio
manufacturers
can't
get
a
car
off
the
line
because
they
can't
get
enough
chips,
they're
all
going
to
personal
devices,
I'm
just
hearing
about
that.
The
wars
right
now
over
trying
to
get
supply,
and
I'm
told
that
this
is
something
that's
going
to
be
somewhat
chronic
over
the
next
two
to
three
years.
C
C
You
know
key
industrial
sites
that
maybe
were
manufacturing
the
past
or
maybe
have
the
adequate
power
loads
or
whatever,
and
for
us
to
kind
of
work
together
with
the
constellation
of
companies
that
are
here
to
say,
hey,
let's
expand,
because
these
are
jobs
that
are
really
good.
Paying
that
don't
require.
C
F
You're
raising
something
that's
super
interesting,
and
I
think
you
know
that
advanced
manufacturing
in
general
has
been
a
very
important
focus
for
both
business
development
and
chris
burton
and
jeff
rester
in
work
to
future.
So
I
think
there
are
a
number
of
opportunities
that
also
lead
up
to
that
from
rapid,
prototyping,
etc.
That
are
strong
in
the
valley
and
and
chris
I'm
going
to
turn
to
you
to
to
express
a
bit
of
your
thoughts
about
how
this
may
move
forward.
N
D
Thanks
mary,
you
know,
I
think
it
is
a
really
interesting
opportunity.
I
think
we're
in
that
moment
in
time
where
it's
sort
of
helping
people
realize
the
fragility
of
their
supply
chains
and
and
how
they
think
about.
You
know
what
portions
of
local
operations
can
support
their
need
going
forward.
It's
definitely
something
that
we're
exploring
right.
Now,
we've
started
sort
of
doing
some
limited
outreach
to
folks
in
that
space
that
we're
going
to
continue
just
to
understand
what
the
landscape
looks
like.
D
Obviously,
we
did
lose
a
considerable
amount
of
that
production
capacity,
but
the
infrastructure
still
remains.
There
are
still
buildings
out
there
that
do
carry
the
high
power
load
and
there
are
ways
that
we
can
work
with
employers.
To
put
you
know
the
the
right
facilities
back
in
place
in
in
a
pretty
short
order,
so
so
we
think
there's
an
opportunity,
we're
absolutely
going
to
do
the
work
to
reach
out
to
those
companies
because,
as
you
say,
it's
a
tremendous
opportunity
to
focus
on
middle-income
jobs
that
support
a
living
wage
for
local
residents.
C
Well,
chris
thanks:
please
include
me
in
the
outreach
efforts,
I'm
happy
to
take
some
time
my
day
to
go
hustle
and
see
if
we
can
convene
a
few
folks
who
may
have
some
interest
in
trying
to
fill
that
big
gap
in
supply.
That's
out
there
and
see
if
we
can
get
some
folks
to
work
andrew,
I
had
a
question
about
all
the
data
work,
that's
being
done
that
you're
overseeing
and
I
appreciate
great
work.
C
That's
being
done
now,
I
didn't
hear
any
reference
to
the
social
progress
index,
which
is
something
that
you
know.
The
silicon
valley
community
foundation
helped
to
fund
us
getting
up
and
running
in
2019
kind
of
focused
on
his
census,
tract
based
approach
to
look
at
a
whole
host
of
indicators
of
human
need
across
everything,
from
health
to
jobs,
to
education,
and
is
that
because
the
the
data
wasn't
good
enough
or
was
it
not?
Can
you
help
me
understand,
is?
Are
we
leaving
that
behind?
Are
we
integrating
it
somehow
in
our
work.
H
So,
thank
you
mayor.
We
are.
We
have
not
embarked
on
really
analyzing,
which
data
sets
where
are
are
better
or
ones
we're
going
to
leave
behind
we're
going
to
embark
on
that
sort
of
in
our
next
in
our
next
steps.
So
right
now
it's
we're
literally
at
the
neighborhood
mapping
stage
and
then
we're
going
to
cull
together.
All
the
different
data
sets
that
we
know
the
city
is
using
and
determine
collectively
what
best
suits
our
needs.
So
social
progress
index
will
be
one
of
those
that
we'll
take
a
look
at.
C
Okay,
great,
I
can
imagine
it's
gonna
be
super
difficult
to
make
sure
data
actually
fits
in
the
square.
Peg
fits
in
the
round
hole,
whatever
we've
defined
for
each
neighborhood.
So
I
appreciate
that's
not
gonna
be
easy,
but
I
look
forward
to
seeing
how
how
we
can
work
through
it.
All
a
quick
question
for
kipp,
I'm
just
worried
about
fema
reimbursements,
for
whatever
we're
doing
for
our
own
house
residents,
does
moving
housing
out
of
the
eos,
does
moving
some
of
this
activity
out
of
the
eoc
to
the
housing
department.
I
know.
C
E
And
and
and
we've
got
very
good
people,
including
ray
and
luz,
making
sure
that,
as
we
do,
these
transition
pieces
that
we
are
taking
that
into
account
and
if
there's
there
is
something
that
would
put
like
female
reimbursement
at
risk.
That
would
be
something
that
we
might
technically
keep
in
the
eoc
or
make
sure
is,
is
covered
in
a
way
that
that
we're
meeting
the
requirements.
So
that's
that's
one
of
the
considerations
as
we
wind
down
is
not
to
lose
any
money.
E
So
the
departments
will
have
the
support
that
they
need
and
the
understanding
on
how
to
do
that.
Documentation.
That
said,
housing
department
is
very
well
versed
in
all
sorts
of
very
complicated
bureaucracies
and
meeting
their
needs.
So
I
have
high
confidence
in
them,
but
we'll
make
sure
that
they
have
the
additional
support
that
they
need
from
from
the
centralized
unit.
D
B
I
think
the
one
thing
that
I
would
add
is
just
that
local
declaration
of
emergency
of
my
conversations
with
ray,
sometimes
that
is
helpful
to
still
have
in
place,
even
though
we
are
in
a
recovery
phase
and
so
we'll
work
closely
with
luz
and
her
team
and
with
ray
checking
in
with
each
of
the
recovery
teams.
If
you
will
on
whether
or
not
that
local
emergency
is
still
needed
or
beneficial
to
some
of
the
recovery
efforts.
C
You
can
speak
federal
ease,
that's
a
good
thing!
Thank
you
for
that
last
question.
This
is
a
hard
one.
I
guess
I'll
throw
it
at
you
cap
and
let
you
punt
it
we've
taken
on
an
enormous
lift
with
food
distribution.
A
lot
of
city
employees
have
been
involved.
I
know
we've
pulled
some
off,
but
I'm
just
wondering
given
how
we
know
if,
if
we
have
access
to
something-
and
it's
true
for
all
of
us
as
individuals,
if
it
is
free,
we
will
take
advantage
of
that
opportunity.
C
C
E
Yeah,
I
I'm
actually
just
going
to
acknowledge
the
utility
of
that
question,
and
I
think
you
know
part
of
what
part
of
what
we've
been
doing
in
response
mode
is,
is,
frankly
everything
we
possibly
can
as
much
as
we
possibly
can
right
as
we
shift
into
recovery.
I
think
a
more
intentional
discernment.
E
E
So
if
we
find
out
no,
it
is
food
rather
than
child
care
that
we
can
put
it
to
food
or
if
we
find
out
no,
it
is
child
care
rather
than
food.
We
can
go
in
that
direction,
so
part
of
what
we're
not
going
to
do
right
now
and
on
may
17th
is
predict
out
everything
perfectly
because
we
need
to
ask
and
answer
that
question
and
we
need
the
team
to
be
working
across
the
different
divisions,
to
figure
that
out
together.
That's
part
of
why
we
pulled
them
all
together
in
the
working
group.
E
Is
you
get
those
smart
people
together
and
then
you
have
them
debate
and
decide
and
look
at
the
data
and
look
at
the
findings
and
and
just
ask
and
answer
those
exact
questions.
So
the
answer
is
we
don't
know
right
now
we
think
we've
got
a
pretty
good
balance.
We
know
people
need
to
be
housed.
We
know
they
need
to
be
fed.
E
We
know
they
need
child
care,
but
we
don't
really
know
what
the
optimal
mix
is,
and
I
think
that's
part
of
what
we'll
be
debating
and
bringing
to
you
and
the
council
for
consideration
as
we
go
forward.
But
part
of
our
strategy
is
to
not
fully
allocate
our
resources
to
everything
now
so
that
we
can
adjust
as
we
go.
C
C
Okay,
great,
I
really
appreciate
all
the
extraordinary
work
that's
gone
into
this.
This
is
hard,
but
this
is
really
a
thoughtful
approach
it's
been
taking
and
I
think
we
know
the
hard
work
is
still
ahead.
All
right.
Let's,
I
don't
think
we
need
a
motion.
Is
that
right?
This
is
just
for
our
information.
C
A
Q
Good
evening,
mayor
and
city
council
I'll
be
a
good
at
I'll.
Be
brief.
Given
the
hour
I'm
kimi
mawakana,
I
am
working
as
a
division
manager
for
the
housing
department
and
rachel
and
I
will
be
providing
you
with
a
presentation
on
item
8.1,
a
funding
commitment
for
the
kelsey,
affordable
housing
development,
and
this
is
in
support
of
113
new,
affordable
apartments
for
development
in
the
city
of
san
jose.
Q
Q
Q
The
kelsey
will
include
a
mix
of
studios
and
two-bedroom,
affordable
apartments,
plus
two
managers
units
all
totaled
115
units,
34
of
the
affordable
apartments
will
be
for
those
with
intellectual
and
or
developmental
disabilities.
The
remaining
79,
affordable
apartments
will
be
composed
of
very
low
income,
low
income
and
moderate
income
households.
Q
Q
We
are
requesting
a
funding
commitment
of
15
million
925
000
in
city
funds
for
this
development.
The
kelsey
applied
to
the
city
for
funding
through
the
100
million
dollar
notice
of
funding
availability
that
the
housing
department
issued
in
2018.,
the
county
of
santa
clara
is
providing
4
million
in
funding
for
housing
for
intellectually
and
developmentally
disabled
individuals.
Q
C
A
Good
afternoon,
mayor
council
housing
department,
thank
you
very
much
for
all
your
hard
work
in
this
project,
and
I
want
to
thank
the
people
at
the
kelsey
and
all
of
their
consultants.
This
is
an
excellent
project.
It's
going
to
be
a
great
asset
to
the
community.
They've
worked
on
the
architecture
to
make
it
fit
in
the
community.
They've
worked
on
concerns
about
traffic
and
people,
picking
up
and
dropping
off.
G
C
D
Thank
you,
mayor
and
council.
I'll,
be
brief.
We
we
are
strong
supporters
of
this
project.
We've
worked
with
the
kelsey
for
a
number
of
years.
This
is
a
tremendous
opportunity.
The
the
back
story
and
the
the
location
is
really
important.
I
think
the
the
the
communication
and
work
with
the
community
has
been
very
important.
It's
a
tremendous
location.
D
When
there
are
shocks-
and
I
think
we've
seen
over
the
last
year-
that
affordable
housing
developments
are
able
to
provide
a
range
and
a
breadth
of
support
systems
for
folks
that
that
help
help
them
collectively
the
the
the
the
kinds
of
challenges
that
they've
faced
in
the
last
year,
and
we,
we
think
that's
a
real
learning
opportunity-
and
this
is
a
great
example
of
a
project
like
that-
will
be
an
asset
in
the
future.
Thank
you.
D
D
O
Hello
good
evening,
everyone
and
thank
you
for
opening
this
to
the
public.
So
for
the
record,
my
name
is
brian
prescott.
I
live
downtown
in
district
three
and
I'd
like
to
express
my
support
for
this
project
and
respectfully
ask
for
your
yes
vote
to
accept
staff's
recommendations
here.
So
this
project
is
right
in
my
backyard.
I
could
easily
walk
to
this.
You
know
in
15
or
20
minutes.
I
just
think
it's
a
superstar
candidate
for
the
housing
fund
that
we
have.
O
In
particular,
I
like
that
we're
putting
this
right
next
to
a
light
rail
station,
so
people
who
are
unable
to
drive
can
save
a
lot
of
money
on
the
paratransit
services
that
they
might
usually
use
to
get
from
the
transit
routes.
Instead,
the
light
rail
can
drop
them
off
right
at
home.
I
would
also
like
to
applaud
this
as
part
of
our
approach
to
homelessness.
O
The
mercury
news
reported
that
in
fiscal
2019
we
spent
about
5
million
dollars,
clearing
encampments,
which
is
a
really
expensive
way
to
juggle
this
problem
here.
Instead,
we
have
a
loan
of
15
million
so
that
money's
going
to
come
back
to
the
city
and
10
years
from
now
we're
looking
at,
I
guess
113
people
who
were
at
risk
and
never
had
to
become
homeless
in
the
first
place,
and
that's
the
absolutely
best
outcome
that
we
can
have
so
like
I
said
I
live
nearby.
I
think
this
is
good
news
for
the
neighborhood.
O
L
L
I
just
think
humanly
it's
something,
no
matter
what
anybody's
background
is
ideologically
or
whatever
we
can
get
behind
the
housing
crisis
in
a
unique
way,
and
that
leads
my
second
reason.
I
think
it
hits
san
jose
identity.
I've
only
been
a
part
of
this
city
for
seven
years,
and
I
have
loved
this
city
for
30
years,
I'm
very
proud
of
the
entrepreneurial
innovative
place
that
it
is
and
and
the
you
know,
we're
we're
blessed
in
a
lot
of
ways,
and
this
project
is
both
entrepreneurial
and
innovative,
and
that
leads
my
third
reason.
L
I
think
it
is
a
model
when
I
travel
around.
I
I
like
talking
about
this
project
because
I
think
it's
a
bottle
that
could
be
followed
by
other
cities
and
I
think
we
ought
to
lead
in
that
way,
because
a
lot
of
people
around
the
country
may
have
a
negative
view
of
the
silicon
valley
and,
and
then
I
love
the
people.
These
are
people
who
are
not,
you
know
theoretical
about
helping
people
with
disabilities,
they're
intimately
acquainted
with
it,
and
they
are
some
of
them
do
deal
with
disabilities.
D
Good
evening,
mayor
licardo,
members
of
the
city,
council
and
staff,
my
name
is
sherry
burns
and
I'm
the
executive
director
of
silicon
valley,
independent
living
center
center
and
a
native
san
jose
resident
I'd
like
to
offer
my
enthusiastic
support
for
the
kelsey
air
station
project
and
the
requested
land
acquisition
and
loan
funding
from
the
city
of
san
jose.
The
kelsey
air
station
is
well
thought
out.
D
I
D
D
This
would
also
make
it
possible
for
them
to
live
work
and
play
close
in
to
said
downtown
san
jose,
as
sherry
is
mentioned,
really
very
close
to
the
japan
town
station,
so
they
can
come
and
go
and
say
please
this
unit
this,
this
housing
unit
will
also
be
accessible
for
everybody,
and
that's
really.
The
whole
reason
behind
universal
design
is
to
allow
people
to
age
inflation,
with
dignity
for
as
best
and
every
bit
of
ability
that
they
can
possibly
have.
C
Thank
you
thanks.
All
the
members
of
the
community
came
to
speak.
I
really
want
to
express
gratitude
to
many
of
the
neighbors
who
worked
out
many
of
the
issues
with
the
developer
and,
and
you
know
the
developer.
I
really
want
to
thank
michaela,
connery
and
olia
kresnick.
Please
forgive
me
the
architect
over
at
sirs,
regis
and
and
the
entire
team
work
together.
I
know
that
our
own
planning
staff,
stephanie
farmer
and
many
others
worked
very
hard.
There
were
a
lot
of
concerns
because
there
is
a
single-family
neighborhood,
very
approximate.
C
That
is
right
behind
this
project.
I
live
about
15
blocks
away,
and
I
appreciate
how
the
great
effort
that
has
been
taken,
even
with
an
sp
35
project,
to
really
work
with
neighbors,
to
ensure
that
this
would
be
something
to
be
a
great
asset
to
the
community
and
obviously
critically
essential
for
the
more
than
130
people
who
will
be
living
the
households
that
will
be
accommodated
here.
I
I
just
wanted
to
note.
C
Obviously
this
is
critical
housing
for
so
many,
but
you
know
we
often
on
the
council
have
a
strong
tendency
to
say.
Well,
you
have
to
build
all
the
units
on
site
with
inclusionary
inclusionary
money
isn't
as
good
as
having
the
the
units
on
site,
and
I
can
appreciate
that
perspective.
But
in
this
case
this
is
five
million
dollars
of
inclusionary
fees
that
were
paid
by
a
market
rate
developer
and
first
it
tells
us.
C
In
a
pinch
like
now
when
an
affordable
developer
looks
like
they're
running
high
on
costs
and
they
need
some
help,
as
we've
had
to
supplement
in
this
case,
and
we
really
want
to
get
a
good
project
out
of
the
ground,
and
so
I
I
just
think
this
is
15
million
dollars
is
absolutely
well.
I
guess
it's
a
little
more
than
15.
it's
almost
16
million
dollars.
It's
well
worth
the
investment
for
all
the
people
who
will
benefit
from
this,
and
I'm
grateful
that
everyone's
worked
so
hard
to
make
it
work.
C
I
really
want
to
thank
councilmember
royal
peralta
who's
been,
I
know,
a
great
champion
this
project.
I
know
there
were
a
lot
of
hard
feelings
that
had
to
be
had.
You
know
we
had
to
have
very
honest
conversations,
and
I
appreciate
councilmember
pros
being
there
right
in
the
middle
of
those
conversations
to
help
this
project
gets
a
success.
I
also
want
to
thank
kelly
klein
on
our
team
here
in
the
office
councilman.
K
Yeah,
thank
you
mayor
and
a
lot
of
thank
yous
as
well,
and
you
list
them
off,
but
I
think
just
doubling
down
there's
been
a
tremendous
effort
from
both
city
staff,
your
staff
included
from
from
my
team
and
then
certainly
from
the
kelsey
team.
This
has
been,
I
think,
really
a
terrific
effort
and
certainly
not
without
its
challenges
on
on
all
ends,
but
I
think
I
want
to
say
thank
you
as
well
to
the
community
for
for
working
with
us
through
this
project.
K
I
think,
as
you
heard
in
some
of
the
comments
that
is
not
where,
where
we
started
on
this
project
and
actually
some
a
few
development
opportunities
prior
to
this
project,
coming
forward
as
well,
that
I
think
left
a
bad
taste
in
a
lot
of
the
the
neighboring
community
members,
and
so
I
I
would
say
just
I
think,
all
around
really
appreciated
working
on
this
project
and
I
want
to
say
thank
you
to
michaela.
She,
and
I
shared
history
with.
K
And
for
me,
my
my
aunt
has
lived
her
entire
life
with
cerebral
palsy
and
she
lives
on
her
own
in
redwood
city,
and
this
was,
after
shortly
after
being
born.
My
grandmother
being
told
that
she
should
give
her
up
for
permanent
care,
because
she
probably
would
not
live
long
and
that
she
would
be
too
much
work.
For,
for
my
grandmother
and
my
grandfather
and
and
my
my
grandmother
did
not
take
that
advice
and
and
was
able-
and
this
is
at
a
time
60
years
ago.
K
But
one
of
the
the
major
challenges
and,
and
specifically
actually
till
today,
as
she's
retired
now
in
aging,
has
been
the
proper
type
of
housing.
She
lives
on
her
own
in
a
duplex
in
redwood
city
and
by
no
means
is
the
housing
inclusive.
It's
not
built
in
a
way
that
really
can
help
her
live
her
best
life
and
and
and
that's
what
this
development
is
going
to
do.
K
C
Again,
thank
you,
councilmember.
I
also
want
to
just
add
to
the
thanks,
thanks
to
commitment
and
all
the
housing
team
for
being
able
to
really
push
this
over
the
goal
line.
This
is
a
I
know,
a
very
challenging
project
in
many
ways,
and
the
important
projects
always
are
challenging,
obviously
serving
neighbors
with
disabilities.
It's
really
critically
important,
so
appreciate
everyone
taking
on
the
challenge
and
continuing
to
push
all
right.
Any
other
comments,
all
right.
Let's,
let's
vote
then.
J
D
H
I
I
L
C
D
But
what
really
struck
me
is
all
these
comments
from
members
of
the
public
about
the
impact
of
light
on
birds
and
I
used
to
walk
through
hyde
park
at
night
which
is
brightly
lit.
You
know,
for
safety
reasons,
obviously,
because
of
all
the
issues
in
london
and
the
squirrels
and
the
birds
couldn't
persevere,
being
you
know
any
happier
so
so,
as
you
know,
yes,
I
do
have
a
foreign
accent
and,
and
I'm
not
small,
and
I'm
definitely
not
female,
but
I
do
know
how
to
google.
D
D
The
effect
of
light
on
birds
is
one
of
the
most
extensively
studied
topics
anywhere
in
the
world,
because
it's
used
it's
used
by
breeders
and
to
summarize
what
the
paper
says
is
that
if
you
use
a
combination
of
light
frequency
and
actually
a
light
color,
you
can
either
have
bigger
birds
or
you
can
have
birds.
You
know
that
achieve
you
know
sexual
maturity
earlier,
which
means
they're
gonna,
be
breeding
eggs
earlier,
or
you
can
actually
use
that
light
for
the
city
of
san
jose
to
actually
have
the
very
best
birds
in
the
entire
world.
