Thank

Okay
item
8.1
are
actions
related
to
the
cannabis
equity
assistance
program
and
that's
going
to
be
heard
concurrently
with
item
10.2,
which
is
the
amendment
to
title
20
amendments
to
tile,
20
and
6
of
the
beauty
code
so
relating
to
zoning
and
licenses
and
regulations.
So
we're
gonna
have
a
presentation
on
both
we'll
start
with
10.2
and
then
go
to
8.1,
and
thank
you,
sarah,
michelle
and
team
for
all
your
work
on
this.
A
F
F
We're
also
proposing
to
change
where
retail
storefronts
for
cannabis
would
be
allowed
from
industrial
areas
to
commercial
areas.
So
new
storefronts
would
only
be
allowed
to
open
within
commercial
zoning
districts,
we're
proposing
to
update
or
modify
some
of
the
distance
requirements
to
sensitive
uses.
I'll
talk
about
that
in
a
moment,
and
we're
also
proposing
to
replace
the
current
exclusion
criteria
from
the
north,
san
jose
edenville
and
international
business
park,
enterprise
areas
and
replacing
it
with
a
police
speed
exclusion
that
I'm
also
going
to
talk
about
in
a
second.
F
Finally,
we
are
proposing
to
remove
that
restriction
from
cannabis
uses
operating
on
the
ground
floor
downtown
and
to
update
the
verification
process
so
that
a
zoning
code,
verification
certificate
would
expire
in
two
years
if
the
business
does
not
open.
In
that
time,
this
column
on
the
left
shows
you,
the
zoning
districts,
where
dispensaries
are
what
we
are
now
calling
cannabis.
Storefront
retail
establishments
would
be
allowed
to
open.
These
are
all
zoning
districts
where
commercial
retail
is
allowed
either
as
a
standalone
or
sometimes
in
a
mixed-use
format.
F
F
I
mentioned
a
new
exclusion
criteria,
so
what
we
did
is
we
went
ahead
and
took
an
idea
from
the
criteria
for
looking
at
alcohol
licenses.
So
licenses
were
off
sale
of
alcohol.
They
have
to
go
through
a
special
process
if
they're
going
to
be
located
within
a
police
fee,
that's
reporting
20
percent
higher
than
city-wide
average
in
crime.
So
we
took
that
same
criteria
and
we're
actually
proposing
it
for
canvas
businesses
to
be
an
exclusion
criteria.
F
So
no
new
cannabis,
retail
storefront
would
be
allowed
to
open
in
these
areas,
and
this
map
shows
those
police
beats
based
on
the
2021
data.
F
The
differences
you
will
see
is
the
distance
between
storefronts.
We
are
recommending
a
thousand
foot
distance
due
to
concerns
around
concentration
of
these
businesses
near
each
other,
and
then
we're
also
recommending
first
changing
the
way
that
we
measure
the
distance
to
residential
uses
right
now.
It's
measured
from
the
building
envelope
containing
the
cannabis
use
and
a
straight
line
to
the
nearest
residential
parcel.
F
We're
recommending
changing
that
way
of
measuring
it
to
a
path
of
travel
where
it
would
be
from
the
publicly
accessible
entrance
of
a
cannabis
business
along
a
path
of
travel
by
a
pedestrian
way
to
the
nearest
residential
property
line,
and
we're
also
recommending
changing
that
distance
to
300
feet
for
our
downtown
and
urban
villages
within
downtown.
We
are
proposing
to
align
the
distance
requirements,
it's
pretty
close
to
the
state
mandatory
minimums
and
when
we
looked
at
applying
all
our
existing
distance
requirements
downtown,
we
found
essentially
no
available
sites.
F
So
we
are
proposing
to
modify
distance
requirements.
You'll
see
we're
recommending
to
keep
the
thousand
feet
from
schools,
but
go
with
the
state
mandatory
minimum
for
daycares
and
youth
centers,
and
then
the
only
other
distance
requirement.
We
would
retain
that's
the
sanders.
A
specific
requirement
would
be
the
distance
between
storefronts
at
500
feet.
Urban
villages
are
similar,
although
we
do
think
we
could
maintain
some
of
the
other
distances
while
still
leaving
ample
available
sites.
So
you'll
see
the
main
differences
there
is
unlike
downtown.
We
retain
the
thousand
feet
to
school.
F
Excuse
me
daycares
and
youth
centers,
as
well
as
the
distance
requirement
to
rehab
centers
and
then
have
that
reduced
500
foot
distance
to
other
cannabis,
retail
businesses
for
both
downtown
and
urban
villages.
We're
not
recommending
a
residential
distance
because
we
actually
expect
to
see
mixed
use
development
where
the
residences
are
above
the
retail,
and
so
it
wouldn't
make
sense
to
retain
a
distance.
It
would
essentially
preclude
these
businesses
in
these
areas.
F
F
Finally,
I'll
conclude
my
part
with
the
sequa
analysis.
We
prepared
and
circulated
an
initial
study
this
past
summer,
and
we
found
that
when
you
really
boil
it
down
from
an
environmental
standpoint,
what
we're
doing
is
allowing
retail
sales
of
a
certain
type
of
good
in
commercial
areas
where
all
types
of
other
retail
sales
already
are
allowed.
So
we
did
not
find
any
new
impacts
that
would
result
from
this
work.
As
such,
we've
prepared
a
negative
declaration
and
our
recommending
council
adopt
that,
and
with
that
I
will
turn
it
over
to
wendy.
G
Hello,
I'm
wendy
salazi
division
manager
in
the
police,
department's
division
of
cannabis
regulation,
and
I
have
sergeant
woolsey
with
me
here
tonight.
We
are
proposing
to
allow
delivery
only
as
a
cannabis
business
activity.
We
are
also
recommending
council
open
registration
for
10,
new
cannabis
businesses
for
equity
applicants
only
and
we're
recommending
only
five
of
those
10,
maybe
retail
storefront.
G
G
Good
evening,
mayor
city,
council,
members
of
the
public,
my
name
is
sarah
sarate,
director
of
the
office
of
administration
policy
and
intergovernmental
relations.
I'm
joined
by
our
resident
cannabis
policy
expert,
michelle
mcgurk
to
present
a
review
of
our
cannabis
equity
assessment
and
we'll
be
joined
by
our
colleagues
in
the
office
of
economic
development
and
cultural
affairs.
To
answer
any
questions.
G
In
her
book,
the
new
jim
crow
mass
incarceration
in
the
age
of
color
blindness,
michelle
alexander,
wrote
quote
nothing
has
contributed
more
to
the
systemic
mass
incarceration
of
people
of
color
in
the
united
states
than
the
war
on
drugs.
End
quote
indeed,
even
if
the
outcome
is
not
incarceration,
the
impacts
are
deeply
felt
beyond
individuals
and
extend
to
larger
communities.
G
G
G
G
In
addition
to
demographic
analysis,
staff
use
publicly
available
police
data
to
geographically
map
calls
for
service
and
traffic
stops
related
to
cannabis.
Color
coding
indicates
census,
tracts
with
cumulative
incidents
over
a
designated
amount.
Neighborhoods
with
higher
levels
of
incidence
were
more
likely
to
be
of
latino,
ex
or
asian
or
lower
income.
G
Seeing
this
relationship
between
higher
arrests
and
areas
of
historic
disadvantage,
staff
use
the
metropolitan
transportation
commission's
equity
priority
communities
map
and
the
historic,
strong
neighborhoods
initiative
map
as
a
starting
point
for
eligibility
criteria
for
an
equity
program
and
with
that
I'll
pass
it
on
to
michelle
mcgurk.
To
talk
more
about
the
recommended
pilot
program,
components.
H
So,
as
you
can
see
here
from
the
slide
and
from
the
staff
memo,
residency
and
income
would
be
mandatory
requirements
and
then
we
would
look
to
require
some
experiential
items
so
the
for
our
equity
owners.
We
would
first
require
residence
and
time
in
the
community,
then
look
at
income
level,
150
of
ami
or
below
and
completing
the
cannabis
equity
academy
that
we'll
discuss
in
a
moment.
H
We
then
have
a
list
of
four
experiential
items,
and
I
do
want
to
clarify
that
the
bullet
point
and
it's
one
of
these
four-
that
they
would
check
on
the
box.
The
bullet
point
that
says
work
in
the
cannabis
industry
since
2009
for
two
years
could
include
work
in
the
regulated
industry
as
well
as
in
the
unregulated
industry.
H
It
is
important
to
note
that
the
we
currently
don't
have
funding
for
an
equity
employment
program
and
our
work
to
future
program
is
restricted
from
working
with
cannabis.
Employment
due
to
federal
funding
requirements.
H
So,
with
equity
ownership,
the
key
issues
are:
how
can
san
jose
encourage
entrepreneurship,
maintain
effective
regulation
and
address
the
types
of
challenges
and
needs
that
are
identified
on
this
slide?
Access
to
capital
is
the
most
significant
challenge
cannabis
businesses
face,
especially
with
traditional
banking
and
sba,
small
business
financing
not
being
available
to
cannabis.
Businesses
due
to
federal
restrictions.
H
This
would
also
be
the
phase
where
staff
would
do
the
rfp
to
prepare
the
consultants
for
the
academy
phase.
Two
is
entry
into
the
academy,
which
is
at
the
heart
of
offering
industry
specific
business
advice,
providing
guidance
and
support
for
entrepreneurs
who
demonstrate
dedication
and
capacity
to
own
and
operate
a
regulated
business
phase.
A
Good
evening,
mayor
ricardo
members
of
the
council,
scott
niece
san
jose
downtown
association
just
wanted
to
let
you
know
great
work
by
the
staff.
Our
organization
is
in
support
of
all
the
zoning
exchanges
and
the
equity
program.
Really
nice
work
here.
One
one
point
we
wanted
to
make
was
to
allow
our
16
existing
licensed
businesses
to
go
ahead
now
before
the
equity
program
has
stood
up,
they're
very
well,
regulated
and
incapable
of
opening.
Now
I
heard
some
argument
that
hey
all
the
good
locations
are
going
to
be
gone.
A
F
Hi,
my
name
is
christa
delatore
and
I'm
speaking
on
behalf
of
the
south
bay
labor
council,
we
represent
more
than
a
hundred
thousand
working
families
in
santa
clara
and
san
benito
counties.
I'm
here
to
support
the
council's
recommendation
to
ensure
that
all
licensed
cannabis
entities
have
a
labor
peace
agreement
with
a
bona
fide
labor
organization
before
any
renewal
of
their
current
license
or
before
they're
allowed
to
gain
access
to
a
second
license.
F
Although
state
law
requires
cannabis
businesses
to
enter
into
a
labor
peace
agreement,
only
20
percent
even
attempt
to
comply
while
the
state
has
been
unable
to
enforce
his
provision,
cities
can
ensure
enforcement
by
requiring
requiring
regulatory
compliance
before
a
local
license
is
authorized.
Therefore,
we
recommend
that
the
city
of
san
jose
require
that
all
cannabis,
employers
in
receipt
of
a
city
license,
must
submit
a
copy
of
their
signed,
labor
peace
agreement
with
a
bona
fide
labor
organization
to
the
appropriate
state
department.
Thank
you.
A
A
A
To
apply
for
retail
store
for
licensure
in
san
jose,
I
would
like
to
kindly
ask
and
strongly
urge
that
you
do
not
enforce
five
social
equity
operators
to
be
stuck
in
the
delivery
only
form
of
licensure,
while
the
legacy
operators
continue
to
nominate
the
retail
space.
Allowing
only
five
of
the
new
social
equity
licenses
to
engage
in
retail
sales
would
mean
that
social
equity
retailers
only
account
for
roughly.
A
Still
not
in
line
with
other
municipal
social
equity
programs
is
worlds
better
than
11.
More
specifically,
I
would
like
to
point
to
the
amendment
provision
c2,
which
states
allow
up
to
10
new
cannabis
and
sensory
businesses
with
equity
business
owners
to
register
only
five
of
which
may
be
stored
for
dispensaries.
I
would
like
to
suggest
that
you
strike
the.
G
F
K
Good
afternoon,
mayor
and
council,
my
name
is
wasser
castro
working
partnerships,
usa,
working
partnerships,
usa,
encourages
the
council
to
ensure
cannabis
businesses
seeking
registration
with
the
city,
follow
state
law
and
submit
a
copy
of
the
sign,
labor
peace
agreement
with
the
bona
fide
labor
organization,
an
agreement
already
required
by
the
state
business
and
professional
code.
The
majority
of
cannabis
businesses
in
the
city
failed
to
meet.
I
could
thank
staff
for
all
this
work.
This
to
this
point
as
well.
K
Labor
peace
agreements
are
essential
to
ensuring
workers
have
a
voice
on
the
job
and
that
we
can
promote,
help
promote
the
cannabis
industry
as
a
hired
industry
capable
of
creating
family
family
supporting
jobs
going
forward.
We
would
also
like
to
express
our
thanks
to
council
members,
esparza
foley,
perales,
cohen
arenas
and
crossbow
for
the
support
on
this
issue.
Thank
you
very
much.
A
Hi,
my
name
is
fernando
alvarez,
san
jose
resident
and
founder
of
vapor,
tent
lounges
state
licensed
cannabis
event
organizer
first.
Thank
you.
It's
really
good
to
see
this
report
on
the
cannabis
equity
assistance
program.
I'd
also
like
to
reference.
The
attached
supplemental
memo,
memo
by
perales
carrasco
and
foley,
and
the
written
public
comment
from
executive
director
of
the
downtown
association
regarding
state
license
social
consumption
events
as
a
first
business
license
in
california.
I've
had
the
privilege
of
working
with
multiple
jurisdictions
on
their
respective
social
consumption
policies.
A
Cities
like
san
francisco,
which
led
to
their
outside
lands;
music
festival,
stockton,
california,
which
is
my
city
of
birth,
we're
actively
planning
multiple
events
for
2022
in
which
we're
going
to
prioritize
social
equity,
and
so
like
that
said,
I
just
like
to
offer
myself
as
a
resource
to
san
jose
to
help
expedite
any
review
analysis
best
practices
developed
over
the
four
years
of
being
licensed
by
the
state.
Again,
my
name
is
fernando
alves,
founder
of
vapor
10
lounges,
I'm
in
full
support
of
the
cannabis,
equity
assistance
program
and
social
consumption
events.
Thank
you.
A
Good
evening
mayor
members
of
the
council,
thank
you
for
your
hard
work.
I'd
like
to
thank
you
for
this.
Bringing
this
up,
and
I
like
to
see
that
the
city
put
some
kind
of
some
kind
of
law
where
they
they're
required
to
just
like
the
state
requires
a
labor
peace
agreement
with
a
what
they
modified,
labor
peace
agreement
with
the
organization.
Thank
you
and
have
a
good
night,
daniel
montero.
A
A
Okay,
I'll
speak
a
little
bit
louder.
I'd
like
to
thank
the
mayor
city,
council
and
city
staff
for
the
hard
work,
and
I
would
like
to
request
the
consideration
to
make
the
residency
requirements
more
inclusive
so
that
we.
A
A
That,
before
the
decade's
over
we'll.
A
Yes,
good
evening,
mayor
and
city
council
members
yeah,
please
make
sure
the
workers
have
a
voice.
Please.
C
And
make
sure
they
have
a
peace
agreement
with
the
cannabis
industry.
Thank
you
very
much.
J
A
J
E
Okay,
thanks
everybody,
and
thanks
to
members
of
the
community
for
speaking
and
participating,
we've
got
a
lot
of
memos
on
different
two
different
items.
So
I
just
want
to
encourage
my
colleagues
to
be
as
specific
as
you
can
be
about
what
memoirs
are
moving
and
which
elements
of
which
memo
we'll
take.
It
slow,
I'll,
take
notes
and
I'm
sure
tony
will
be
as
well
and
we'll
hopefully
figure
all
this
out.
N
Whoops,
you
know
you
think
I'd
figure
this
out
after
so
many
years.
Okay,
before
I
begin,
I
just
want
to
make
sure
so
we're
going
to
have
two
separate
motions
and
is
that
the
way
that
we
should
be
doing
this
moving,
because
I
I
don't.
E
N
N
Okay,
so
in
just
some
background
in
2019,
I
brought
forward
the
idea
that
was
a
land
use
issue
to
increase
the
number
of
cannabis
licenses
from
the
current
16
to
an
unspecified
number.
It
was
a
land
use
issue
because
the
current
policy
before
we
passed
this
one,
hopefully
restricted
where
the
cannabis
dispensaries
could
be
located
and
they
ended
up
being
located
heavily
concentrated
into
district
7
as
an
example.
N
So
one
of
the
things
or
three
of
the
things
that
I
hope
to
accomplish
by
this
proposal,
and
hopefully
we'll
get
it
passed
by
the
council-
is
number
one:
expand
the
cannabis
licenses
from
16
to
32.,
I'm
not
going
to
address
the
equity
piece
right
now,
I'll,
let
others
talk
about
the
equity
piece,
but
that
is
also
an
important
component.
The
other
was
to
move
the
heavy
concentration
of
dispensaries
from
district
7
in
particular
to
throughout
the
city,
and
the
third
was
really
a
way
to
re.
N
To
generate
more
taxes,
you
have
more
businesses
out
there
who
are
selling
cannabis.
We
they
pay
a
lot
of
taxes
and
that
can
do
a
lot
for
our
city.
At
the
same
time,
I
brought
that
forth
through
priority
council
member
perales
and
carrasco
bought
forward
the
equity
piece
and
I'll.
Let
them
talk
to
you
about
that,
so
here
we
are
three
years
later
with
proposals
before
you.
N
The
reason
allowing
more
licenses
is
important
is
because
we've
got
a
lot
of
black
market
illegal
dispensaries
that
are
occurring
throughout
the
city,
and
we
need
to
put
a
stop
at
it.
We
need
to
allow
access
to
cannabis,
that
is
a
legal
substance
in
this
state
and
allow
it
to
be
sold
in
other
locations
within
certain
parameters,
treating
it
much
like.
We
would
alcohol
these
black
market
dispensaries.
N
N
The
other
reason
we
need
to
get
away
from
the
black
market
and
take
them
out
of
business
is
because
the
legal
dispensaries,
those
who
are
in
business,
the
current
16
licensees
in
expanding
to
32
they
operate
under
very
strict
guidelines
with
the
state,
both
from
a
product
standpoint.
They
have
to
do
a
lot
of
testing
quality
assurances
how
they
handle
their
security.
N
There's
a
and
dealing,
including
the
bona
fide
peace
agreement
that
our
labor
peace
agreement
have
to
have
that
in
place
for
20
employees
or
more
that's
a
requirement
by
the
state.
N
I
sound
like
I'm
a
big
expert,
I'm
really
not,
but
these
are
my
talking
points
there.
The
quality
that
you
might
get
from
a
black
market
might
be
laced
with
narcotic
with
illegal
drugs
such
as
fentanyl
fentanyl,
we
know
is
a
killer,
so
we
need
to
take
that
off
the
market.
That's
that
is
critical.
N
N
The
the
city
j
generates
tremendous
dollars
from
the
cannabis
business
and
like
it
or
not,
it
is
a
legal
business
and
a
way
that
we
can
offset
some
of
our
general
fund
expenses
and
use
those
funds
for
things
like
education
for
drug
and
alcohol
abuse
programs
also
hiring
more
police
officers.
Things
like
that
we
need,
we
could
use
it
for
a
variety
of
ways,
even
training
on
how
to
start
your
own
cannabis
business
for
those
in
the
equity
portion.
N
Who
may
need
some
training
who
may
need
some
help
on
how
they're
going
to
get
their
business
started
the
buffers
I
support,
tremendo
completely
the
other
questions
regarding
labor,
I
will
defer
to
city
staff
on
the
labor
policy
and
when
it
comes
to
the
cannabis
business,
ca
academy,
that's
a
great
idea,
but
I
don't
want
to
delay
implementing
the
16
additional
licenses
until
the
can.
The
cannabis
academy
is
up
and
running
because
I'm
not
sure
how
that's
going
to
to
work.
We've
already
been
delayed
for
this.
N
N
So
with
that,
I'm
going
to
move
my
memo
that
I
co-authored
with
council
member
perales
and
carrasco,
I'm
going
to
move
the
memo
authored
by
council
member
arenas
and
cohen,
and
I'm
going
to
move
the
memo
authored
by
vice
mayor
jones,
exclu
only
items
two
and
three
not
including
item
one,
an
iso
move.
Second,.
E
N
E
E
N
Yes,
I
did
not
move
item
councilmember
perales
single
memo
because
that's
a
separate
item.
N
Right
cassandra.
E
O
Yeah,
thank
you
and
just
to
be
clear.
I
guess
on
the
motion.
Did
that
move
for
both
items,
8.1
and
10.2,
I
think
councilman
foley
said
she
just
did
not
include
that
solo
memo
for
myself.
Is
that
correct,
or
was
it
just
items
under
10.2.
O
Oh
well,
then,
what
I'll
do
is
I'll
make
my
comments
and
then
maybe
I'll
just
ask
for
a
friendly
amendment
and
it
can
be
included.
So
then
that
way
we
don't
need
the
two
separate
motions.
Okay,
I
just
sounds
good,
so
well,
first
off,
thank
you.
Thank
you
to
staff
for,
for
all
your
work
on
this
councilmember
foley,
provided,
I
think,
a
good
history
in
regards
to
how
we
we
got
here.
O
There
was,
I
think,
multiple
individuals
with
interest
both
certainly
within
our
community,
but
on
the
council
here
too,
and
I
know
some
of
the
early
work
with
councilmember
carrasco
on
on
really
trying
to
address
the
equity
concerns
from
those
that
have
been
subject
to
criminalization
incarceration
based
on
our
prior
cannabis
laws.
O
You
know
for
us,
we
we
really
felt
there
was
an
opportunity
here
additionally
to
take
advantage
of
state
resources,
and
we
acted
quickly
to
do
so,
but
to
create
a
program
really.
That
could
could
create
some
opportunity
for
community
members
that
had
been
subjected
to
criminalization
and-
and
I
think,
as
we've
seen
within
our
own
history
here
within
the
city,
a
lot
of
that
took
place
and
and
people
have
suffered.
O
Because
of
that-
and
I
think
that
that
you
know
the
war
on
drugs
itself,
certainly
with
cannabis.
There
was
a
a
low
hanging
fruit.
I
think
for
for
our
community
to
be
subject
to
criminalization
on
this,
and
it
was
just
unfortunate
where
we've
seen
that
go,
but
I
think
we've
now
seen
our
community
come
around
turn
around,
especially
here
in
california.
O
We've
recognized
the
benefits
of
cannabis
both
for
medical
purposes
and
then,
as
we
have
now,
is
legal
recreation
for
individuals,
much
like
as
councilmember
foley
stated
like
alcohol,
and
something
that
we
could
regulate
and
get
off
of
the
black
market
be
able
to
to
not
only
regulate
tax
and
and
hopefully
make
it
much
more
safer
for
people
to
to
engage
in,
but
who
benefits
from
this
industry,
as
we've
now
made
it
legal
is
the
the
opportunity
we
have
with
the
equity
program
to
lift
up
individuals
who
previously
were
again
subject
to
to
the
criminalization
of
it,
and
so
I
I
really
want
to
say
thank
you
to
staff.
O
We
had
concerns
from
other
cities
that
had
rolled
out
programs
that
had
been
taken
advantage
of
by
some
of
the
industry
leaders
and
taken
advantage
of
the
opportunities
of
expansion
of
new
businesses
through
the
equity
programs
in
their
cities,
and
then
we've
seen
just
stagnant.
I
think
you
know
a
stagnant,
a
lack
of
growth
in
other
cities
with
their
programs,
and
so
I
don't.
O
I
don't
think
it's
perfect
by
any
means
not
not
necessarily
here,
but
also
anywhere
where
this
is
being
rolled
out,
because
it's
brand
new,
and
that
was
the
reason
behind
my
memo,
which
was
which
was
pretty
simple
in
regards
to
item
8.1,
really
just
recognizing
that
you
know
we're
likely
going
to
need
to
come
back
and
and
potentially
make
some
adjustments
to
the
program,
especially
if
we
see
that
it's
not
working
or
functioning
the
way
that
we
had
wanted
it
to.
And
so
in
my
recommendation
on
8.1
it.
O
It
is
simply
that,
where
we're
coming
back
with
a
progress
report
within
six
months
of
of
program
activation
and
to
make
it
clear
for
those
that
are
listening
and
my
colleagues,
the
purpose
of
that
is
that
recognition
that
we
may
not
have
gotten
it
right
and
there
may
be
things
that
we
want
to
tweak
or
update
and
and
make
it
even
more
fair
or
something
that
that
we
need
to
come
in
and
fix.
O
I
think
that's
that's
important.
We
have
heard
today
from
already
community
members-
and
I
know
I
have
been
in
conversation
with
a
number
of
them
as
well,
and
I
appreciate
their
their
feedback
on
how
we
could
improve
it
today
and
I
just
wanted
to
bring
up.
O
One
excuse
me
area
of
of
interest,
and
that
was
in
regards
to
the
the
residency
requirements
and
I
wanted
to
see
if,
if
staff
could
speak
to
that
and
then
be
able
to
to
help
us
understand,
you
know
why
we
we
landed
where
we
did
on
and
wanting
to
have.
You
know
a
population
of
individuals
that
could
benefit
from
the
program
that
are
either
current
residents
or
of
either
an
mtc
equity
priority
community
or
a
former
strong
neighborhood
initiative
neighborhood
in
the
city
of
san
jose.
O
H
So,
council,
member
perales
staff
has
really
struggled
with
how
you
create
an
equity
program
with
goals
of
serving
those
who've
been
disproportionately
harmed
in
a
state
that
has
the
limitations
on
it
that
we
have
under
prop
209.
H
The
best
approach
that
neighborhood,
that
other
cities
have
been
able
to
use
is
a
neighborhood
based
approach
where
we
look
at
the
neighborhoods,
where
the
most
disproportionate
harm
has
occurred
and
where
the
residents
live,
who've
been
disproportionately
are
from
communities
that
have
been
disproportionately
harmed
and
the
neighborhoods
that
have
had
the
most
historic
disadvantage.
H
I
will
be
as
frank
as
I
can
be,
and
that
is
with
the
with
the
version
of
the
equity
ordinance
that
the
council
put
in
place
in
2019,
which,
as
you
all
remember,
we
rushed
that
through
very
quickly.
H
Applicants
would
not
have
met
the
state's
goals,
with
the
grant
funding
that
we
have
and
were
not
from
what
communities
that
were
disproportionately
harmed
by
cannabis
prohibition,
but
they
were
able
to
meet
the
letter
of
law.
So,
for
example,
if
residency
was
city-wide,
it
will
have
a
different
impact,
so
I
I
think
that's
the
best
I
can
say
which
neighborhoods
we
choose.
H
You
know
we
looked
at
the
mtc
equity
priority
communities
because
we're
using
them
for
other
programs,
and
they
do
match
up
very
much
with
the
communities
that
have
been
historically
served
and
then,
of
course,
the
strong
neighborhoods
maps
layer
very
nicely
on
top
of
that
and
match
up
pretty
closely
but
kind
of
fill
a
few
holes
and
also
reflect
an
era
when
some
of
these
disproportionate
harms
were
occurring.
O
Okay,
yeah.
Thank
you.
I
know
that
was
some
of
the
the
feedback
that
I
received
as
well
was
that
we
have
had
a
number
of
of
involved
participants
and
interested
community
members
and
looking
at
the
parameters
of
the
program
that
you
know
they
may
not
be
able
to
to
fit
and
and
that's
again
where
I
think,
rather
than
trying,
I
recognize
how
much
work
went
into
this
rather
than
trying
to
maybe
pick
it
apart,
which
I'm
happy
to
do.
O
We
do
here
at
the
council,
often
at
times
on
policies,
but
I
think
I
wanted
to
number
one.
I
think
this
this
policy
is
so
important
that
I
wanted
to
be
able
to
roll
it
out
and
then
roll
it
out
with
a
recognition
that
it
that
it
may
need
some
adjustment
and
that
if
we
come
back
and
take
a
look
and
see
you
know
again,
have
we
not
had
any
applicants
like
we've
seen
in
other
cities,
and
do
we
you
know,
do
we
need
to
to
take
a
look
at
what?
O
What
is
the
you
know?
What
are
the
factors
for
that,
and,
and
can
we
come
in
and
adjust
it,
and
so
I
do
have
concerns
about
that.
Indeed,
and
and
would
want
to
accomplish
two
things
number
one.
O
I
would
want
to
accomplish
a
program
where
we
really
can
get
participation
from
our
community
members
that
that
we
know,
would
you
know,
as
you
point
out,
would
meet
the
spirit
of
of
the
policy
or
of
the
law,
but
I
wouldn't
want
to
make
it
so
broad
that
it
gets
taken
advantage
of
or
there's
individuals
that
are
not
necessarily
from
you
know
the
communities
that
we
would
want,
or
within
our
city
that
now
take
advantage,
and
I
think
that
was
the
fine
line
that
we
were
trying
to
to
navigate
on
getting
there.
O
And
so
I
do
appreciate
that
work.
I
will.
I
will
make
the
friendly
amendment
if
my
colleague,
councilman
foley,
would
include
my
memorandum
on
item
8.1
to
accept
the
staff
recommendation
and
then
again
just
to
return
back
here,
six
months
after
program
activation
and
then
happy
to
hear
from
my
colleagues,
you
know
and
and
see
what
their
input
is
as
we
move
forward
through
the
commentary
tonight,
thanks.
B
Thank
you
mayor,
so
I'd
like
to
thank
staff
for
all
their
hard
work
on
this.
This
has
been,
I
know
happening
since
before
I
joined
the
council.
There's
been
a
big
push
for
this,
and
so
since
the
motion
includes
both
8.1
and
10.2,
I
just
wanted
to
make
some
some
comments
before
I
get
to
something
a
point,
and
so
in
2019
the
city
council
directed
staff
to
look
at
options
to
limit
the
saturation
of
cannabis.
B
Businesses
in
district,
seven
and
staff
returned
with
some
measures
that
that
would
do
so,
but
I
also
wanted
to
give
some
context
on
why
this
has
been
such
a
priority
for
me
and
for
the
residents
of
my
district,
and
so
I
wanted
to
specifically
thank
staff
for
the
cannabis
equity
assessment,
which
covered
the
impacts
from
the
war
on
drugs,
and
this
report
confirms
what
we
largely
already
knew,
which
is
that
communities
of
color
and
communities
with
higher
crime
rates
were
the
most
impacted
by
the
war
on
drugs
and
so
for
decades.
B
These
communities
have
been
subject
to
more
arrests
for
cannabis
related
crimes,
not
to
mention
the
stigma
that
many
of
our
communities
of
color
have
dealt
with
in
regard
to
cannabis,
so
fast
forward
to
the
legalization
of
cannabis.
The
city
of
san
jose
not
only
allowed,
but
essentially
we
required
cannabis
businesses
to
be
in
these
same
communities
of
color
to
be
in
the
same
communities
with
high
crime
rates
and
to
be
in
the
same
communities
where
the
war
on
drugs
has
been
going
on
for
decades
and
so
in
district
7.
B
B
So
I
find
it
deeply
ironic
and
even
more
disparaging
that
the
city
has
spent
decades
waging
war
on
these
communities
for
cannabis
just
to
saturate
these
communities,
with
corporations
owned
by
wealthy
investors
who
were
selling
the
same
product
that
members
of
the
the
community
had
previously
lost
their
freedom.
For
so
what
kind
of
message
are
we
sending
to
these
communities?
What
kind
of
message
are
we
sending
to
the
children
of
those
communities?
B
And
so
I've
been
saying
this
since
2019,
and
I
want
to
reiterate
the
same
message
again:
that
we
cannot
continue
to
saturate
the
same
communities
with
cannabis
businesses
when,
for
decades
my
neighborhoods
have
fought
the
stigma
of
cannabis
and
have
suffered
the
most
from
the
war
on
drugs,
and
so,
while
staff's
recommendation
was
trying
to
balance
the
number
of
available
locations
for
new
cannabis
businesses,
citywide
and
limit
further
saturation
in
communities.
Concern.
B
So
I'd
like
to
ask
for
a
friendly
amendment
to
council
member
foley
if
she
would
consider
including
my
memo
specifically
item
number
two
which
includes
the
cap
and
then
I
had
some
comments
about
the
labor
language.
But
it's
a
cap.
It
does
not
hurt
the
expansion
of
the
cannabis
retail
business,
but
what
it
does
is
it
would.
N
N
One
of
the
reasons
I
brought
this
forward
is
because
of
the
cons,
heavy
concentration
of
dispensaries
in
your
district,
so
I'm
extremely
sensitive
to
that.
I'd
like
to
hear
some
more
discussion
and
then
come
back
to
it.
If
that's
okay,
as
far
as
the
as
far
as
the
six
non-delivery
cannabis
issues,
I
mean,
I
suppose,
I'm
okay
with
investigating
it.
N
I
I
let
me
think
about
it
for
a
little
bit,
if
I
could,
as
far
as
the
bona
fide
labor
organization,
we
already
have
that
they
all
all
or
all
licensees
who
who
proceed
through
the
state
who
have
20
employees,
have
to
have
a
bonafide,
labor
peace
agreement
with
a
an
organization.
It
does
not
have
to
be
local
labor.
It
could
be
labor
in
anywhere
within
the
state.
N
So
I
think
the
way
I
read
your
memo
is
that
it
has
to
be
local,
but
some
of
these
businesses
may
already
be
operating
with
labor
agreements
in
other
parts
of
the
state.
So
I'm
going
to
say
no
to
the
first
part,
I'm
I
want
to
think
about
the
second
part
a
little
bit
and
listen
to
what
others
have
to
say.
If,
if
that's
okay.
B
If
she's
are
you
still
there,
we
go.
H
Yeah,
I'm
here
council
member,
thank
you
so
for
those
of
you
and
the
mayor
may
remember
this
as
he.
I
think
he
was
he's
the
only
one
who's
left
from
the
early
days
as
well
as
myself,
but
the
council
did
consider
a
cap
per
council
district
with
the
very
early
part
of
the
regulations.
I
know
sergeant
woolsey
will
remember
this
as
well.
H
We
and-
and
that
was
when
the
council
was
originally
considering-
placing
the
the
retail
store
fronts
in
commercial
district,
and
so
that
was
back
in,
I
want
to
say,
probably
2012
and
then
again
in
2014,
and
it
took
four
council
meetings
before
the
program
was
fully
developed
and
voted
on
by
council
and
in
that,
when
they
switched
to
the
industrial
districts,
they
took
the
the
cap
kind
of
fell
off
the
table
in
those
negotiations.
H
So
there
has
been
policy
discussion
of
a
cap
in
the
history
of
this
and
I
believe
at
the
time
there
was
at
one
point
a
discussion
of
having
25
city-wide
with
you
know
no
more
than
four
per
council
district
or
some
number
along
those
lines.
So
it
was
always.
It
was
always
something
that
had
been
discussed.
Other
cities
do
it
this
way,
and
we
could
certainly
respond
with
an
info
memo
and
give
you
more
information
about
that.
B
Thank
you
so
with
that
I'd
like
to
make
a
substitute
motion
that
includes
the
foley
perales
and
carrasco
memo
that
includes
the
peralas
memo
with
the
six
month,
update
that
includes
the
cohen
and
ns
memo
and
includes
the
jones
memo
actually
considering
the
equity
issues
and
also
what
we've
heard
about
some
of
the
cannabis
businesses
trying
to
find
places
to
rent
and
what
it's
done
to
them
economically
in
the
search.
B
I
actually
don't
have
a
problem
with
number
one
of
that
memo,
because
if
we
really
do
intend
to
lift
up
some
equity
businesses,
I
think
I
think,
as
we
develop
a
location
policy,
that's
the
time
to
do
it,
and
so
that
also
combines
8.1
and
10.2
the
8.1
and
10.2
memos.
E
Okay
motion
for
council
member
aspires
is
there
a
second.
E
E
L
You
football,
I
want
to
say
thank
you
to
michelle
and
your
team.
I
won't
embarrass
you
by
saying
how
long
you've
been
working
on
this
issue,
but
you
started
when
you
were
10
years
old
I'll,
just
say
that
marijuana
was
invented
when
marijuana
was
invented.
Thank
you,
councilmember
foley,
for
accepting
my
items
two
and
three.
As
was
stated
in
the
staff
report,
access
to
capital
is
a
major
barrier
for
these
equity
businesses,
also
in
terms
of
reevaluating
the
criteria.
L
I
want
to
make
my
pitch
for
my
item.
One
and
possibly
you
can
re
we'll
reconsider
council
member
esparza's
motion
based
on
the
kind
of
feedback
I
get,
but
if
we're
serious
about
equity,
you
know
we
know
the
history.
You
know
we
have
these
these
groups
and
in
businesses
that
don't
represent
our
community
are
from
our
communities.
L
Part
of
our
communities
that
come
in
they
have
access
to
capital.
You
know
they
want
to
expand
their
businesses
and
all
locations
aren't
equal.
Some
locations
are
better
than
others.
We
also
know
the
impact
of
these
businesses
coming
in
and
dominating
the
market
and
make
it
more
difficult
for
equity
owners
to
establish
their
business
and
grow
their
business.
L
So
michelle,
I
wanted
to
ask
you,
in
terms
of
your
resources
and
ability
to
facilitate
the
expansion
of
the
16
existing
dispensaries.
H
So
I
think,
as
far
as
capacity
staff
capacity
to
process
the
16
new,
that's
really
an
issue
for
planning
and
doing
the
zoning
code,
verification
checks
and
for
the
police
department
dealing
with
the
new
registrations.
H
The
for
the
equity
applicants.
That's
going
to
be
administered
by
office
of
economic
development
with
the
academy
and
that
and
that
all
needs
to
start
before
we
kind
of
turn
those
folks
over
to
going
through
registration
with
the
police
department.
We
have
grant
funding
to
from
the
state
of
california
that
will
enable
us
to
run
this
pilot
program
and
this
first
academy.
H
We
are
very
thankful
for
that
money,
but
it
is
one-time
resources
to
help
those
equity
applicants.
So
it's
sort
of
they're
they're
different
streams
of
work,
but
I
think
what
you're
also
getting
at
is
you
know,
what's
the
capacity
to
if
we
were
to
just
open
registration
to
everyone
in
and
not
have
the
academy.
H
First,
we
would
have
an
unequal
playing
field
with
the
equity
businesses
trying
to
compete
against
the
16
in
the
marketplace,
not
having
access
to
capital
to
pay
their
rent
and
not
under
you
know
not
having
the
technical
assistance
at
the
front
end,
and
that's
one
of
the
reasons
why
we
said:
let's
do
this
academy
first,
because
I
in
other
cities
the
technical
assistance
and
really
understanding
how
to
negotiate
a
lease
with
a
landlord
how
to
go
through
the
zoning
code
verification
process.
H
So
I
understand
that
timing
is
a
challenge
here
and
you
know
we
addressed
that
in
our
memo
about
the
equity
program
at
in
looking
at
this
with
an
equity
lens.
L
H
But
you
know
the
equity
applicants
do
have
intrinsic
disadvantages
going
into
this
marketplace
already
and
that's
what
we're
trying
to
help
them
with
with
the
resources
that
will
provide.
So
it
has
the
potential
to
mean
that
a
you
know
a
prime.
You
know
the
prime
sites
that
that
might
be
the
best
locations
might
not
be
available.
L
Thank
you.
Thank
you
michelle.
So
that
being
said,
councilmember
foley
I'd
like
to
make
a
friendly
amendment
to
accept
my
recommendation.
One
actually.
N
My
vice
mayor
as
much
as
I
love
and
respect
your
opinion,
I'm
going
to
have
to
say
no,
and
the
reason
for
that
is.
I
disagree
that
there
are
enough
locations
to
go
around.
There
may
be
places
that
the
those
who
are
not
equity
businesses
can
get
into
quicker,
but
they've
got
the
resources.
They've
got
a
lot
of
other
things
going
for
them
that
the
equity
partners
or
the
equity
businesses
do
not
as
much
as
I
would
like
to
accept
that
staff
can
get
this
done
at
six
in
six
months.
N
It's
not
it's
not
there's
not
just
16
people
16
more
locations
that
they
can
move
into
in
the
dis
in
the
city
and
then
they're
done.
That's
it
there's
a
lot
of
places.
If
you
look
on
their
maps,
there's
a
lot
of
locations
that
they
these
can
go
to.
So
I'm
having
a
real
difficulty
saying
the
equity
piece
has
to
go.
First,
the
cannabis
business
academy,
which
does
not
exist
yet
has
to
go
first
before
the
other
16
licenses
can
go
and
expand
their
businesses.
So
I'm
sorry
it's
a
no
long
answer
for
that.
Well,.
L
Councilmember
foley
you,
you
declined
my
friendly
amendment
in
a
very
nice
way.
So
thank
you
for
that.
I
felt
compelled
that
I
wanted
to
make
my
case
because
I
I
strongly
believe
that
we
are
going
to
put
these
equity
businesses
at
a
severe
disadvantage
and
I
hope
I'm
wrong
and
I
hope
you're
right
and
you
know
maybe
six
months
from
now
when
we
do
a
check-in,
maybe
we
can
change
strategies.
E
I
appreciate
that
the
dialogue
has
been
a
very
good
one
and
you
know
I
also
appreciate
councilman
foley's
point
here,
which
is
you
know:
they're
2700
locations
and
lord
knows,
we've
got
a
lot
of
vacancy
in
the
city,
so
I
suspect,
there's
going
to
be
a
lot
of
opportunity
for
for
everyone
here,
but
I
I
want
to
go
this
issue
about
arrest
data
because
I
was
just
looking
at
slide
number
three
and
that
and
the
8.1,
where
you
go
to
that,
and
it
describes
a
lot
of
arrests
at
least
back
in
2009
2010,
I'm
guessing
whatever
the
decline
was.
E
It
probably
had
less
to
do
with
I'm
guessing
president
obama's
policies
and
probably
maybe
the
change
in
police
chiefs.
I
know
we
had
a
transition
around
that
time
away
from
chief
david,
so
I'm
guessing
that
might
have
something
to
do
with
it,
but
anyway,
I
was
just
surprised
to
see
that
many
arrests,
because
you
know
I
was
at
da's
office
what
a
half
decade
before
that.
E
H
Mayor,
it's
a
it's
a
combination
of
data
and
it's
much
more
explicitly
described
in
the
fuller
assessment
report
in
the
slides.
So
it's
you're
right,
it's
probably
a
bit
more
nuanced.
But
yes,
it
was
all
the
data
that
was
turned
over
to
the
that
in
the
category
of
marijuana
to
the
california
department
of
justice.
E
Okay
understood
so,
I
understand
there
can
be
a
lot
of
nuance
on
how
we
describe
things
I'm
guessing.
Also.
A
fair
number
of
these
may
have
evolved
cases
where,
where
somebody's
being
arrested
on
a
far
more
substantive
offense-
and
they
just
happen
to
have
marijuana
and
said
they
included
as
a
charge,
I
would
just
be
very
surprised
if
we
were
driving
those
kinds
of
numbers
and
marijuana
risks,
particularly
prop
36.
E
In
my
recollection,
but
again,
I
know
I
had
a
bias
because
I
was
handling
most
serious
felony
cases
on
the
the
use
of
the
crime
index
to
preclude
particular
new
businesses.
Coming
in
what
I'd
heard
from
some
in
the
industry
was
a
concern
that
commercial
locations,
for
example,
in
a
in
a
mall
where
we
might
expect
to
see
it
at
storefront
businesses,
I'm
sure
they
would
love
to
locate
where
there's
a
lot
of
foot
traffic
and
they'd
be
precluded
because
you
tend
to
have
artificial
well,
not
artificially.
E
You
have
higher
reporting
of
crime
rates
in
heavy
retail
areas
like,
for
example,
a
westfield
mall,
even
though
nobody
would
say.
That's
a
less
safe
place.
It
just
so
happens
around
retail
businesses
you're
going
to
have
a
lot
more
calls
for
service
for
everything,
from
loitering
to
theft,
and
so
you
get
these
spike
in
numbers,
even
though
we
know
there
are
far
less
safe
places
in
the
city,
and
so
I
wanted
to
unpack
that
a
little
am
I
right
in
believing
that
valley?
F
G
G
Trying
to
we
were
trying
to
look
at
because
oftentimes
it
was
compared
to
liquor
licenses,
so
we
were
trying
to
look
at
something
that
was
a
similar
measurement
to
where
we
could
not
continue
to
be
over
concentrated
in
certain
areas,
especially
concerned.
So
so
we
just
tried
to
mirror
that.
E
Yeah
I
appreciate
the
intent
I
mean
I
guess
you
know
this
issue
recently
came
up
for
me,
because
we
were
looking
at
east
santa
clara
street
as
a
potential
location
for
a
liquor
store,
and
I
just
assumed
it
would
be.
You
know,
above
median
with
regard
to
crime
reports.
You
know
I
go
home
all
the
time
that
way
and
see
plenty
of
activity
on
the
street.
That
would
lead
me
to
believe
it's
a
it's
a
target,
rich
environment
and-
and
it
wasn't-
and
you
know,
I
suspect,
the
reason.
E
Why
is
what
we
all
know
about
many
new
roads
and
communities
where
calls
aren't
being
made,
even
though
we
know
crime
may
be
occurring,
and
so
I
I
want
to
ask
we're
going
to
come
back
in
six
months
anyway.
Could
we
explicitly
look
at
an
income-based
approach
to
precluding
new
businesses
rather
than
one
that's
based
on
crime?
E
I
think
it
will
address
some
of
the
concerns
that
council
member
esparza
has
raised.
I
would
like
to
thank
since
I
you
know,
I
know
something
about
the
demographics
of
her
district
and
I
also
think
it
will
help
us
better
focus
on
the
communities
that
we're
really
concerned
about
protecting,
maybe
before
I
just
suggest
that
could
could
I
ask:
have
you
guys
considered
that
already,
and
maybe
you
thought
it
wasn't
a
good
idea
because
of
one
reason
or
another.
H
That
wasn't
part
of
the
early
analysis
mayor
sort
of
based
on
the
timing
at
which
it
was
being
done
on
these
pieces
of
the
program.
So
the
the
mapping
and
analysis
that
was
done
on
the
cannabis
equity
program
came
after
staff,
had
already
developed
the
recommendations
and
gone
to
ced
committee
twice
on
the
zoning
and
regulatory
piece.
H
H
However,
we
could
certainly
look
at
something
like
where
the
maps
that
we're
using
to
encourage
ownership
and
say
you
know
we
could
use
the
mtc
equity
priority
communities
on
the
flip
side.
E
E
Yeah,
I
understood,
and
I
don't
want
to
throw
a
wrench
into
things,
I'm
happy
to
support
the
motion.
I
just
ask
since
we're
coming
back
in
six
months
anyway,
if
staff
could
simply
look
at,
you
know
whether
it's
the
mtc
equity
map
or
just
a
simple
income.
E
You
know
color
coded
map,
which
I
know
we've
seen
for
something
at
60
ami
or
something
like
that.
I
I
suspect
I
mean
there
are
two
two
motivations
here
for
my
concern.
One
is,
I
think,
we're
probably
precluding
retail
areas
as
locations
that
I
think
we
would
all
agree
would
be
fine
locations
and
they
simply
have
a
an
inflated
rate
of
reporting
because
of
retail
locations.
Right.
If
you
have
a
lot
of
retail
businesses,
you
can
have
a
lot
of
reports
and
I
suspect
also
that
we
may
not
be
protecting
some
communities.
E
Great
okay.
Finally,
I
you
know,
council
member
vice
mayor
jones,
is
suggesting
around
considering
directing
surplus
funds
to
the
the
equity
assistance
efforts,
the
equity
business
assistance
efforts.
I
I
understand
this
says
consider
so
I'm
happy
to
support
it.
We
can
certainly
consider
it.
I
would
just
hope
that
we
would
just
be
aggressive
in
chasing
grants,
use
grant
money
for
a
program
like
this
and
the
reason
why
I
say
that
is
this
pandemic.
E
In
the
last
couple
years
we
have
our
small
business,
been
suffering
enormously
enormously,
and
these
are
small
businesses
that
have
been
with
us
for
many
years,
some
cases
decades.
The
majority
are
immigrant-led,
they're,
struggling
mightily
and
there's
really
not
a
darn
thing
that
we're
able
to
do
for
them
other
than
distribute
some
grant
money.
If
you
know
the
federal
government
gives
us
some
arpa
money
or
something
they
just
don't
get
any
help,
and
so
I'd
hate
to
think
we're
going
to
use
general
fund
money
for
a
very,
very
narrow
segment.
E
When
we
know
small
businesses
that
have
been
sustaining
our
community
that
certainly
meet
all
the
equity
factors
are
going
to
go
without,
and
so
I
just
would
strongly
encourage
us
to
think
hard
about
what
grants
we
could
get
for
things
like
that,
rather
than
using
general
fund
money,
because
I
think
we're
going
to
be
needing
every
dollar
we
can
get
in
this
next
budget
round.
So
anyway,
that's
all
I
had
to
say
thank
you.
Councilman.
B
Thank
you
mayor.
I
appreciate
it.
I
I
also
really
wanted
to
thank
staff,
because
one
of
my
questions
were
what
is
that
income
measures
at
60
percent
and-
and
I
know
that
there
are
a
lot
of
things
that
staff
would
like
to
do,
but
we
have
had
we
just
started
where
what
we're
about
to
start
year,
three
of
covid,
and
we
have
had
other
issues
and
a
lot
of
the
folks
that
have
been
working
on
this.
B
I've
been
working
closely
with
the
eoc
on
food
and
all
the
life-saving
work
that
we've
been
doing
here
at
the
council.
So
I
actually
wanted
to
ask
councilmember
foley.
So
there
are
some
districts
that
have
zero
dispensaries
right
now
they
have
zero
retail
locations.
B
I'm
not
looking
to
to
hurt
the
expansion
of
cannabis
retail.
I
am
trying
to
limit
it
in
my
district,
I've
been
very
open
about
that.
The
impacts
have
been
real
and
in
fact,
under
some
of
these
locations
there
are
some
retail
locations
that
would
be
available
in
my
district,
some
of
them
are
rife
with
prostitution.
B
N
Count
council,
member
esparza.
I
appreciate
the
question,
but
I'm
really
not
prepared
to
answer
that.
I
didn't
come
in
thinking
that
I
wanted
to
accept
a
cap.
So
can
we
look
at
that
at
six
months
and
consider
what
a
cat
might
be
at
that
point?
But
at
this
point
I'm
not
ex.
I'm
not
prepared
to
accept
a
cap
because
I
haven't
considered
it
at
all.
N
B
B
Okay,
got
it
all
right,
I'm
just
gonna,
I'm
just
gonna
say
I
can't
vote
for
this.
I
think
it's
appalling
that
we
as
a
city
are
trying
to
open
up
so
many
sites
in
the
city,
and
I
think
that
we
are
going
to
answer
to
our
residents,
so
I
won't
be
supporting
the
the
proposal.
B
I
really
appreciate
the
mayor
trying
to
figure
out
some
solutions
and
thank
you
mayor
for
doing
that,
but
I
just
I
just
can't
in
good
conscience,
go
to
the
community
and
our
residents
that
we
are
accountable
to
and
and
say
we
want
to
expand
more
to
their
neighborhood.
Thank
you.
E
All
right,
thank
you.
Councilman
cross.
P
Yeah,
thank
you
hearing
the
discussion.
I
was
considering
what
might
be
an
acceptable
friendly
amendment,
but
would
want
to
hear
from
councilmember
sparza
before
I
make
the
ask
councilmember
foley,
similar
to
how
we
are
looking
at
coming
back
in
six
months,
because
again,
I
think
we
recognize
this
may
not
be
perfect,
but
I
I
understand
councilmember
esparza's
point
is
that
you
know
she's
concerned
of
if
we
roll
forward
today
without
a
cap,
the
potential
over
concentration
in
her
particular
district.
P
I
I'll
add
that
I'm
actually
not
concerned
about
that
and
I
actually
think
six
might
be
too
low
for
district
three.
For
instance,
if
you
have
a
couple
serving
different
portions
of
downtown
the
downtown
proper,
we
already
have
a
couple
in
industrial
areas
in
district
three
and
prior
to
losing
the
westernmost
part
of
my
district.
Where
airfield
was
you
know,
I
think
we
would
have
been
close
to
that
cap
already,
and
so
I
I'm
not
as
concerned
about
that,
but
I
understand
that
she
is
and
other
council
members
may
be.
P
That's
not
not
a
time
limit,
so
it's
not
a
six
months
or
12
12
months
whatever
it
is,
it
is
a
if
you
have
now
six
a
total
of
six
dispensary
dispensaries
or
you
have
you
know
four
and
you've
got
two
new
applications
for
two
new
that
would
they
would
total
to
six
once
you
hit
and
and
six
is
not
a
magic
number,
just
I'm
going
off
the
wood
counter
as
far
as
it
was
was
presenting
here
once
you
hit
six
staff
is
then
required
to
come
back
to
council
for
a
notification,
and
that
would
give
the
council
an
opportunity
to
discuss
that,
and
obviously,
at
that
point
give
councilman,
sparse
or
whoever
it
is
whatever
council
member
an
opportunity
to
say:
hey
yeah
here,
I'm
gonna
want
to
make
an
appeal
as
to
why
that
might
be
too
many.
P
I
don't
even
know.
If
that's,
you
know
possible
at
that
point
for
us
to
make
a
you
know
a
shift
in
in
the
program
if
we
would
have
to
put
a
cap
today
or
if
we
could
put
a
check
in
that,
would
then
give
an
opportunity
to
a
future
council
or
this
council
to
to
make
amendments.
So
maybe
before
I
asked
councilmember
sparza
I'll
ask
staff
what
a
check-in
at
a
certain
number
per
person
you
know
per
a
particular
district.
Would
that
be
possible
for
us
to
do.
G
Yeah
we
can
come
back
with
what
we've
seen
from
zoning
code
verification
certificate
and
what
people
have
been
applying
for.
Are
you
suggesting
a
carve
out
for
your
district.
P
You
know
if
it
if
it
made
it
more
complicated.
No
I'm
just
I
was
just.
I
think
I
was
just
trying
to
articulate
that
I
don't
have
the
same
concerns
that
councilman
esparza
does,
and
I
actually
think
that,
for
instance,
because
it
is
the
downtown
core,
you
may
want
a
couple
dispensaries
with
you
know
serving
different
parts
of
the
downtown
court
and
then
the
rest
of
the
district
three
area
which
now
you
know,
stems
up
to
parts
that
used
to
be
district.
P
Four,
where
you
know
we
may
we
may
well
go
over
six
and
and
I'm
not
as
concerned
about
that
you
know
so
long
as
they're.
You
know
legal
businesses
and
you
know-
and
so
I'm
not
as
concerned
about
that
sixth
number,
but
I
don't
necessarily
care
to
have
a
a
carve
out
or
not.
I
think,
because
what
I'm
not
suggesting
here
is
a
is
a
limit,
I'm
suggesting
a
number
that
then
triggers
staff
to
come
and
check
back
in
with
the
council.
P
So
then
that
way,
it's
not
a
surprise
to
any.
You
know,
council
member,
you
know
all
of
a
sudden
they've
got
10
applicants
right
coming
into
their
district,
so
it
it
just
heads
that
off
and
then
gives
the
council
an
opportunity
to
to
have
that
discussion.
H
Would
one
possibility
would
be
that
we
have
some
means
of
tracking
the
zoning
code,
verification
certificates
that
have
been
approved?
I
think,
what's
important
to
also
notice.
This
is,
and
martina
can
talk
about
this.
A
as
well
is
that
this
is
a
process
that
is
ministerial
in
nature,
that
it
is
not
something
that
goes
to
planning
commission,
it's
not
something
that
comes
to
counsel
with
each
individual
business.
So
the
zoning
code,
verification
certificate
is
sort
of
phase
one,
and
then
they
go
over
to
pd
for
the
the
next.
H
You
know
to
start
their
business
location,
so
so
phase
two
is
and
then
staff
is
correct
and
phase
two
is
the
zoning
verification.
They
initially
apply
to
pd
and
say
they're
looking
at
opening
the
second
location,
but
I
think
the
issue
that
you
guys
are,
I
that
the
council
is
identifying
here-
is
the
location-based
piece
of
it.
So
there
could
be
a
means
to
track
and
notify.
P
The
follow-up
to
that
would
be,
would
there
be
any
opportunity
for
the
council
to
you
know,
hit
a
pause
button
or
shift
gears
if
they
decided
they
wanted
to?
If
all
of
a
sudden,
there
was
something
alarming
to
the
council
based
on
that
that
geographic
data
right
could
could
we
legally
come
in
and-
and
you
know,
hit
a
pause
button
on
on
the
program
or
something
like
that.
P
Okay,
because
it's
a
council
ordinance,
we
I
mean
legally,
then
we
would
have
that
ability.
I
see
nora
shaking
her
head
so
I'll
take
the
head
nod
as
a
yes
from
our
legal
advice.
Okay,
I
don't
know
if
councilmember
responds.
If
that
even
gets
to
you
know,
obviously
it's
not
exactly
what
you're
asking
for,
but
I'm
just
just
thinking
on
the
fly
based
on
when
you
were
conversing,
giving
an
opportunity
to
to
have
that.
P
You
know
that
knowledge
and
that
checking,
because
I
could
see
from
your
standpoint
otherwise
you're
going
to
have
to
somehow
be
on
top
of
you
know
where
all
these
are
popping
up
and
you
won't
have
that
info.
At
least
in
this
regard,
I
think
you'd
have
the
info
it.
Wouldn't
you
know
it's
not
a
cap,
but
it
would.
It
would
provide
the
info
and
then
provide
an
opportunity
to
check
in
with
the
council.
Would
that
be
something
you
could
support.
B
That
would
I,
and
that
would
come
to
the
full
council
yeah.
P
B
P
B
I
think
that's
definitely
a
path,
and
I
think
my
preference
would
be
that
it
would
come
to
the
full
council.
N
Well,
we
don't
have
a
trigger,
so
I'm
not
sure
how
staff
is
going
to
know
whether
they
should
report
it
and
what,
if
the
legal?
I
I
mean,
I'm
just
thinking
out
loud
what,
if
the
the
business,
the
the
non-equity
we're
not
we're
talking
about
the
non-equity
piece.
N
So
if
they
want
to
expand,
they
enter
into
an
area
and
they
sign
a
lease
and
they're
moving
forward
that
with
their
extra
license.
And
then
we
say.
Oh
no,
sorry,
you
can't
do
that
because
we
just
found
out.
We
have
too
many
places
here,
I'm
a
little
concerned
about
the
liability
that
that
would
pose
for
us.
But
as
you
were
talking
and
and
I
I'm
sensitive
to
council
member
spars
is
concerned
about
district
7..
What
if
we
just
excluded
district
7
from
the
additional
16
licenses.
M
Yeah,
I
I
I
would
be
okay,
I'm
I'm
very
familiar
with
with
the
area
that
council
member
sparsa
represents.
P
H
That
just
to
clarify
council
member,
are
we
council
members?
Are
we
talking
about
specifically
about
retail
storefront
businesses
that
are
open
to
the
public?
Okay.
A
E
N
R
Great,
thank
you.
I'm
glad
that
got
worked
out.
I
was
going
to
comment
on
that.
I
know
that
there's
some
areas
of
san
jose
that
are
more
concentrated
than
others
and
there's
not
necessarily
where
the
consumers
live.
So
I'm
glad
to
see
that
worked
out
the
other.
I
have
some
questions
about
actually:
council
member
esparza's,
labor
peace
agreement,
memo
on
10.2
and
michelle.
R
I
was
wondering
the
the
labor
peace
agreement
as
def
as
she
provided
a
definition
for
it
is
that
a
definition
that
we
would
have
to
abide
by.
H
So
the
definitions
in
council
member
esparza's
memos,
my
understanding,
is
very
much
the
same
as
the
definition
that
is
in
the
city
and
county
of
san
francisco's
ordinance.
H
So
when,
if
we
follow
the
staff
policy
alternative,
that's
in
the
motion
on
the
floor,
we
would
be
adding
this
requirement
to
the
city
manager,
regulations
and
typically
with
that,
we
craft
those
regulations
as
staff
together
with
the
city
attorney's
office,
and
there
are
definitions
placed
in
there
that
define
what
each
term
is
so
like.
H
There
would
be
a
definition
for
what
a
delivery
business
is.
There's
a
definition
for
so
there
would
be
need
to
be
a
definition
for
what
a
labor
peace
agreement
is
and
a
definition
for
what
a
bona
fide
labor
organization
is.
These,
as
we've
looked
at
the
different
cities,
staff
had
looked
at
at
these
various
definitions,
and
this
one
is
one
that
could
be
used.
It's
it's
used
in
san
francisco
and
other
jurisdictions,
so
it
we
do
have
to
put
a
definition
into
the
regulations.
H
R
Got
it
okay,
so
it
in
essence
you.
You
would
eventually
find
yourself
to
look
at
some
of
the
best
practices
or
some
of
the
best
definitions
out
there.
That
would
suit
our
city
and
ultimately
come
up
with
this.
Particular
definition
is
what
I
hear
you
saying:
maybe
you
would
have
us,
I
don't
know,
take
a
look
at
one
or
two
definite
different
definitions,
and
then
it's
up
to
us
to
include
is
that
is
that
correct?
Michelle.
H
Well,
we
would
not
because
it's
in
the
city
manager
regulations
we
would
not
be
coming
back
to
council
with
the
definitions.
We
would
just
work
with
the
city
attorney
and
these
would
the
city
manager
regulations
are
signed
by
the
city
manager,
their
ministerial
regulation,
the
definitions
we
have.
We
have
already
done
some
preliminary
research
and
looked
at
other
cities.
We
know
we
don't
want
to
use
because
they're,
too
or
or
not
well
written,
and
so
I
have
reviewed
some
of
these
with
our
lead
attorney
who
works
on
those
issues.
H
R
Got
it
so
it's
it's
not.
You
know,
certainly
it's
not
as
a
concoction,
you
know
it's
not
just
out
of
thin
air.
This
is
something
that's
solid,
that
other
cities
have
used
that
we
would
probably
use
ourselves,
and
so
I
wonder
if
this
is
something
a
council
member
fully
hearing
this.
R
This
is
something
that's
we're
not
necessarily
going
to
vote
on
this
ourselves,
because
it
sounds
like
it's
under
the
jurisdiction
or
the
the
under
the
city
manager's
purview
that
we
would
be
able
to
consider
this
particular
definition
as
as
a
definition
that
they
could
choose
from
right.
Whether
we
vote
on
this
or
not
they're,
going
to
look
at
this
definition,
I
think
it's.
R
I
think
it
just
I'd
like
to
see
if
they're,
if
you're
open
to
an
amendment,
to
have
this
as
one
of
the
definitions
that
they're
going
to
look
at
and
not
necessarily
decide
at
in
the
moment
right
now,
but
have
it
be
one
of
the
I
don't
know
one
of
two
options,
one
of
three
options
whatever
it
is
that
they're
looking
at.
N
Sorry,
councilmember
anus.
I
appreciate
that,
but
under
the
memo
authored
by
myself,
council
member
prolis
and
carrasco,
the
first
item
is
to
to
direct
the
city
manager
to
add
a
requirement
that
new
applicants
or
renewing
applicants
demonstrate
compliance
with
state
law
by
submitting
a
copy
of
a
labor
peace
agreement
with
a
bona
fide
organization
as
part
of
their
initial
registration
packet
and
or
renewal.
This
provision
would
be
added
to
the
city,
manager's
regulations
for
cannabis
registration.
N
If
a
cannabis
business
failed
to
provide
the
documentation,
the
division
of
cannabis
regulation
would
be
unable
to
issue
a
notice
of
completed
registration.
So
I
think
it's
already
there.
I
don't
think
it's
necessary
to
give
staff
one
or
two
options.
I
think
they
have
that
option
to
it
to
bring
forth
whatever
will
work
for
them,
and
so
I'm
going
to
say
no,
but
I
believe
that
we
have
it
included
in
item
1
of
our
memo.
R
I
think
that
when
you
look
at
some
of
the
cities
that
already
steps
ahead
of
us,
that
we
learn
from
their
lessons
that
we
learn
from
what
the
best
practices
are
there,
and
so
I'd
like
to
see.
I
like
to
see
this
included
michelle
as
one
of
the
one
of
the
options
that
you
would
look
at,
because
the
direction
that
you
have
right
now
doesn't
preclude
this
being
an
option
correct.
R
And
you
typically
do
so,
I
think
you
know
we're
just
make
this
go
a
little
longer
and
I
I
would
warn
our
colleagues
and
and
including
you
councilmember
foley,
that
we
just
learned
our
lesson
from
from
our
snack
policy
and
being
too
general.
R
And
so,
while
I
understand
I'm
not
going
to
do
a
substitute
motion
for
this,
but
I
because
I
can
hear
the
logic
in
michelle's
explanation
and
I
can
hear
that
she's
going
to
take
a
look
at
these
best
practices
anyway,
whether
this
is
in
in
the
in
our
direction
or
not,
and
I
trust
that
the
city
manager's
office
is
going
to
do
the
best
thing
to
to
protect
our
our
workers
and
our
community
and
and
look
at
the
best
practices.
R
And
so
that's
what
I'm
asking
you.
I'm
gonna
ask
you
jennifer
to
make
that
commitment
to
you
know,
I'm
gonna
bring
up
the
policy,
the
snack
policy.
We
learned
our
lesson
there.
Can
you
please
make
that
commitment
to
take
a
look
at
those
policies
and-
and
obviously
michelle
just
finished
saying
that
you
would
probably
be
adding
some
definitions
to
to
this.
R
All
right,
so
I
I'm
I'm
going
to
skip
on
that
substitute
motion,
but
I
I
think
I
think
that
this
already
works.
This
thing
out,
whether
you
know
councilmember
foley,
whether
you
wanted
it
as
part
of
your
emotion
or
not.
I
think
this
is
something
that's
going
to
move
forward,
because
it's
it's
a
best
practice,
and
so
I
would
have
loved
to
have
you
accepted
and
and
just
have
us
move
forward
with
it.
But
I
understand
that
you
might
have
some.
R
E
Thank
you
all
right.
Any
other
comments,
all
right.
Let's
vote
on
the
motion
council
member
forward.
Yes,.
B
E
C
Thank
you
rachel
good
evening,
mayor
and
city
council,
I'm
jackie
morales-ferrand,
and
I
am
the
director
of
the
housing
department
and
I'm
joined
by
jim,
shannon
our
budget
director
and
rachel
vanderveen,
our
deputy
director
of
the
housing
department
next
slide
in
march,
2020
san
jose
voters
passed
measure
e,
a
transfer
tax
collected
on
properties,
valued
at
2
million
or
higher.
When
this
tax
was
passed,
the
city
had
no
prior
experience.
C
C
C
The
150
million
dollar
notice
of
funding
availability
was
exceeded
by
91
million
dollars,
demonstrating
a
strong
pipeline
for
new
permanent
housing
for
our
low-income
residents.
At
the
same
time,
measure
a
funds
are
nearly
depleted,
with
only
85
million
dollars
left
to
fund
development
of
affordable
housing
going
forward
county-wide.
C
C
C
C
I
understand
this
hasn't
solved
the
homeless
crisis.
We
still
see
people
living
in
our
parks,
our
creeks
and
our
sidewalks
sidewalks,
and
I
know
we
must
do
more.
I
just
want
to
remind
you
that
one
of
the
benefits
of
us
collectively
working
on
the
hmis
system
and
having
one
central
data
point,
was
that
one
of
the
things
we
learned
was
the
number
of
people
that
were
falling
into
hopeland's
homelessness,
not
surprising.
C
In
2019
40
over
4
700
people
became
homeless,
even
though
we
were
housing
people
at
close
to
the
close
to
that
rate,
so
we
weren't
getting
ahead
and
we're
still
not
getting
ahead.
C
A
Thanks
jackie
good
evening,
mayor
and
council,
so
yeah
it's
it's
very
clear
that
the
city
will
need
to
continue
to
play
a
significant
role
in
funding
the
acquisition,
construction
and
operations
of
facilities
to
shelter
our
own
house
residents.
A
However,
our
intention
is
to
sustainably
operate
and
maintain
these
sites
over
a
longer
period
of
time
and
then
even
add
to
the
number
of
sites.
If
we
can
feasibly
do
so,
the
investment
made
over
the
past
few
years
has
resulted
in
an
accumulation
of
annual
cost
of
roughly
30
million
dollars
for
the
existing
and
authorized
bridge
interim
housing
and
home
key
sites.
A
Priority,
the
reality,
though,
is
that
most
of
these
funding
sources
are
one
time
and
only
a
couple
are
on
ongoing
and
we
need
to
figure
out
what
a
sustainable
strategy
looks
like.
So,
as
we
move
forward
with
additional
interim
housing
sites,
those
costs
will
continue
to
to
grow
and
we
certainly
have
our
work
cut
out
for
us
as
we
evaluate
our
long-term
budget
strategies
around
homelessness
sheltering
rachel.
J
J
J
J
Funds
in
this
category
can
be
used
on
a
broad
range
of
activities,
supporting
new
development
acquisition,
rehab
and
limited
funds
for
building
out
of
of
commercial
space,
for
example,
building
a
child
care
facility.
On
the
first
floor
of
an
affordable
housing
development,
the
low
income
category
mirrors
the
extreme
low,
extremely
low
income.
Category
definition,
the
moderate
income
category
will
state
the
creation
of
new
for
sale
and
rental,
affordable
housing
for
moderate
income,
households
and,
finally,
the
homeless
services
definition
is
broadened
to
the
homeless,
support
programs,
including
prevention
and
rental
assistance
and
shelter,
construction
and
operations.
J
J
J
C
C
C
Today,
as
I
said,
is
the
first
public
hearing
and
we
will
return
on
april
12th
for
the
second
public
hearing
on
april
26.
We
will
return
with
a
funding
plan
for
the
50
million
dollars
of
dollars
that
are
available
for
this
year.
On
may
1st,
we
will
return
as
part
of
the
budget
process
with
a
new
funding
plan
for
the
next
fiscal
year.
C
E
Thank
you
all
right.
Let's
go
to
members
of
the
public.
A
J
A
Developer
so
we're
thrilled
to
see
all
of
these
resources
come
in
that
really
match
the
scale
of
the
crisis
every
day
at
path
we
see
how
rising
rents
and
our
emaciated
social
safety
net
push
san
jose
residents
to
the
brink.
A
We
know
that
voters
saw
it
too,
and
they
approved
measure
e
and
we're
very
heartened
that
the
city
can
now
devote
these
higher
than
expected
funds
towards
building
new
housing
that
meets
the
needs
of
our
diverse
community.
So
we
know
that
permanent,
supportive
housing
is
the
best
tool
to
get
someone
stably
housed
long-term
and
we're
satisfied
with
the
adjusted
allocation
amounts
in
these
staff
recommendations.
A
We
would
suggest
that
the
council
guarantee
at
least
10
percent
of
these
funds,
go
to
prevention
and
rent
assistance
efforts
as
operators
of
interim
housing.
We
of
course
believe
it
has
a
place
in
the
region's
homelessness
response,
but
we
know
that
the
best
way
to
end
homelessness
long
term
is
to
prevent
it
in
the
first
place.
So
we
ask
that
you
approve
these
recommendations
with
that
protected
focus
on
prevention.
Thank
you
very
much.
A
Yes
from
the
horseshoe
mayor,
I
remember
when
this
is
one
of
your
better
ideas.
I
remember
when
it
was
an
idea
and
it
came
and
it
bore
fruit.
Okay
need
some
action
and
we
need
serious
action
problem
is
that
market
rate
housing
that
has
to
be
cut
off
that
market
rate
housing.
Now
it
needs
to
be
capped
at
50
until
these
low
income
and
extremely
low
income
housings
can
be
built
up
and
maintained
over
a
three
year
period.
A
The
the
allocations
of
the
money
is
five
percent.
That's
that's
about
right!
That's
that's
about
correct,
but
you
accepted
also
mayor
responsibility
for
the
deaths
that
are
happening
on
the
street,
that
it
was
not
their
fault
that
they
are
there.
I
know
that
you're
one
person,
but
you
do
have
the
influence
and
you
do
have
the
power
to
influence
these
types
of
votes.
So
all
I'm
asking
is
that
you
do
this
because
literally
lives
are
at
stake.
Man
and
some
of
those
are
my
people.
A
Good
evening
mayor
vice
mayor
council
members,
ray
ramsen
chief
operating
officer
with
destination
home,
I'm
with
the
passage
of
measuring
2020
san
jose
voters,
approved
a
critical
new
local
funding
source
to
fund
permanent,
deeply
affordable
housing
and
prevent
homelessness.
Over
the
past
two
years.
As
staff
noted,
this
measure
has
begun
to
bear
fruit,
creating
hundreds
of
units,
while
also
keeping
thousands
of
vulnerable
families
in
their
home.
A
That's
why
we're
so
grateful
for
housing,
staff's
thoughtful
spending
plan
that
continues
to
prioritize
resources
where
we
need
them
the
most
we
thank
councilmember,
esparza,
jimenez
and
cohen,
and
the
subsequent
support
from
council
member
davis
and
mayor
locado
for
their
memorandum
to
approve
the
housing
staff
spending
plan
recommendation,
while
also
continuing
to
set
aside
funds
for
the
future
on
necessary
work
of
preventing
homelessness.
This
is
a
compromise
plan,
but
we
believe
that
staff
recommendation
will
help
us
get
there
and
we
urge
you
to
support
this
work
going
forward.
Thank
you.
So
much.
A
Hey,
I
want
to
know
how
many
people
who
are
homeless
started
smoking,
marijuana
and
still
smoke
marijuana.
Do
you
think
they're
buying
at
those
dispensaries
that
you
guys
have
at
a
at
a
high
tax
rate?
You
think
these
guys
are
dealing
marijuana
like
there's
no
tomorrow,
but
meanwhile
we
gotta
give
them
a
house
because
well
they've
got
problems
and
everything
else.
I
don't
know
how
many
people
get
subsidized
housing
or
dealing
dope
out
of
it.
A
They
tax
the
marijuana
all
the
way
through
with
all
these
high
excise
factors,
you
guys
deserve
the
problems
that
you
have
and
you
want
to
keep
building
all
these
homeless,
or
these
low-income
housing
places
you're
only
going
to
get
more
people
moving
here,
saying:
hey
man,
I
can
move
into
a
free
or
subsidized
place
and
feel
all
the
pot.
I
want
nothing's
gonna
happen.
Q
No
thank
you.
Well.
We've
been
trying
to
do
affordable
housing
at
615,
stockton,
avenue
and
our
our
city
councilwoman
says:
deb
davis,
that's
because
of
the
state
and
she's
wrong,
there's
a
full
document
of
why
they
did
not
allow
affordable
housing
to
be
built
at
615
and
she
needs
to
get
it.
But
I
guess
she's
too
busy
trying
to
run
for
mayor
and
she
doesn't
keep
in
track
of
what
is
going
on
and
it
isn't
the
state.
It's
the
count.
Q
It's
our
city,
it's
our
general
plan
that
wouldn't
allow
affordable
housing
to
be
a
615
because
it
was
too
close
to
pollution,
and
you
know
these
are.
These
are
the
issues
meanwhile
we're
living
with
this
pollution,
and
so
the
the
the
the
decision
making
and-
and
you
know,
we've
got
a
hotel,
that's
what
you're
putting
into
our
neighborhood.
So
it's
it's
really
all
about
our
general
plan
and
to
really
support,
affordable
housing,
and
we
need
to
get
on
to
that
and
not
make
mistakes
about
it.
A

Good
afternoon,

and

We
appreciate
this
important
discussion.
The
passage
of
measuring
was
crucial
so
that
the
city
has
a
local
ongoing
source
of
funds
towards
various
housing
solutions.
We
appreciate
staff
for
their
recommendation,
recognize
the
need
to
fund
new
buckets
of
work
while
ensuring
that
ongoing
efforts
are

We
also
appreciate
and
support
the
recommendation
laid
out
in
the

by
council
members
jimenez
as
far
as
cohen,
and
also
other
memos
that
highlight
the
that
accepted
those
recommendations
as
well.
Their
memo
did
a
great
job
at
highlighting
the
importance
of
having
no
less
than
10
of
overall
funding
for
homeless
prevention
and
rental
assistance

have
been
a
crucial

for

K
A
Hello,
can
you
hear
me
hi
good
evening,
council
members,
my
name
is
andra
portia,
I'm
the
community,
organizing
and
policy
manager
with
somos
mayfair,
as
we
begin
to
discuss
potential
changes
in
spending
allocation
for
mentor
measure
e
funds.
We
would
like
to
take
a
moment
to
remind
everyone
of
the
deep
thought
that
went
into
the
original
spending
plan
so
that
measure
e
funds
could
support
each
solution
accordingly,
from
homelessness
prevention
to
production
and
preservation
of
affordable
housing.
All
of
these
priorities
are
critical
towards
addressing
the
numerous
housing
challenges
facing
us
today.
A
We
commend
city
staff
for
the
recommendation
so
that
new
work
can
be
appropriately
funded,
while
existing
initiatives
still
have
adequate
resources
to
continue
to
move
forward.
We
would
recommend
that
the
following
modification
be
added
to
the
staff
sergeant
recommendations.
Now
less
than
ten
percent
of
overall
funding
be
allocated
specifically
for
homelessness
prevention
and
rental
assistance.
This
modification
is
crucial
to
ensuring
that
funding
for
homeless
prevention
until
this
is
jill
borders,
hi.
H
Thank
you.
I
was
watching
the
presentation
and
one
of
the
things
I
noted
on
there
was
the
commercial
component
inside
of
some
of
the
affordable
housing
units
for
daycare,
and
I
just
I
don't
know
about
the
practicality
of
that.
That
would
be
wonderful
if
we
could
do
that,
but
I'm
just
struggling
with
trying
to
get
affordable
housing
developers
to
not
now
that
they
can
totally
overlook
the
commercial
component
at
all.
H
I
think
that
that's
what
they'd
like
to
do
so
it's
hard
for
me
to
envision,
even
if
there's
money
available
that
you're
going
to
have
an
affordable
housing
developer,
that's
interested
in
somehow
taking
that
on
as
well,
and
so
I
don't
know,
I
would
just
hope
that
the
council
and
those
that
are
putting
these
policies
together
would
really
look
at
the
nitty
gritty
of
that
and
to
find
out,
if
that's
even
feasible,
it
would
be
wonderful
if
it
was,
but
I'd
like
to
get
practical
with
these
funds.
Thank
you.
E
I
thank
you
thanks
to
members
of
the
community
for
weighing
in
another.
I
think
three
memoranda
all
articulate
desire
to
have
a
very
substantial
commitment
for
homelessness
prevention
and
rental
assistance,
and
I
certainly
support
that.
My
memorandum
is
slightly
nuanced
and
I'm
just
asking
that
we
not
yet
create
categories.
E
An
additional
category,
in
addition
to
the
four
that
have
already
been
created
by
housing
staff
for
for
a
couple
reasons
and
I'll
ask
jackie
if
she'd
like
to
weigh
in
on
this,
but
a,
I
think
we
do
want
to
at
least
understand
what
our
capacity
is:
deliver
rental
assistance
with
all
of
our
non-profit
partners
before
we
commit
on
the
final
number,
although
certainly
nine
million
is
ten
percent
of
90.
That
is,
nine
million
certainly
seems
like
an
appropriate
amount,
but
I
think
we
want
to
at
least
understand
that
clearly.
E
E
That
requires
a
two-thirds
vote
and
I
have
a
feeling
we'll
know
more
then,
and
we'll
have
a
better
idea
exactly
what
we
want
to
do.
It
seems
to
me
that
we
could
easily
approve
an
allocation
that
has
9
million
dollars,
which
is
exactly
what
is
proposed.
I
think,
through
this
10
allocation,
without
chaining
ourselves
to
a
rigid
allocation
for
all
time-
and
I
say
for
all
time
because,
as
as
I
mentioned
under
the
measure,
it
requires
two-thirds
vote.
C
Yeah
I
mean
thank
you
mayor.
This
certainly
gave
us
an
opportunity
to
provide
clarity
over
the
language
which
we
think
was
really
important
to
ensure
that
everyone
understood
the
broad
availability
of
this
funding,
but
also
to
really
broaden
up
category
number
four,
which
were
the
homeless
programs.
C
So
I
do
think
the
idea
of
going
back
and
checking
to
see
with
the
homeless
prevention
system
how
much
it
can
actually
absorb,
is
important
to
understand
the
capacity
of
the
system
before
we
lock
down
any
numbers
specifically
given
this
year,
the
year
is
almost
over,
and
so
it's
highly
doubtful
that
the
significant
amount
of
money
that
we
would
have
due
to
the
90
million
or
the
additional
550
million
would
be
absorbed
by
the
system
this
fiscal
year,
but
there's
certainly
lots
of
opportunities
next
year.
C
I
I
I
Very
simply,
I
I
continue
to
tell
our
residents
that
our
our
job
is
not
to
provide
services
and
that
the
county
has
the
has
the
mandate
and
gets
the
funding
from
the
state
for
social
services,
and
that
would
include
all
of
the
services
provided
to
our
homeless
individuals.
I
We
have
shored
that
up
quite
a
bit
over
the
last
few
years
and
over
the
time
that
I've
been
on
council,
but
I
don't
understand
why
we're
making
the
assumption
that
we
are
going
to
have
to
provide
all
of
the
services
for
the
homeless
shelters
that
we
acquire.
C
Well,
the
county
hasn't
expressed
any
interest
in
investing
in
these
particular
shelters.
They
are
working
on
expanding
the
shelter
system.
In
addition
to
the
work
that
we're
doing,
they
do
have
a
tiny
home
community
in
san
jose.
They
do
support
some.
I
think
they
support
a
couple
of
tiny,
safe
parking
programs
through
some
churches
in
san
jose,
so
they
do
some
limited
and
actually
they
do
support
the
shelter.
That's
in
your
district
over
by
the
willow
glen
tennis
club,
that.
C
Correct,
and
that
is
their
site
that
they've
acquired
and
run
they
have
not,
and
you
know
technically,
we
haven't
officially
asked:
will
you
take
these
on?
My
guess?
Is
they
don't
have
the
capacity
to
do
that,
but
between
now
and
then
we're
I'm
very
you
know
it's
something
I
could
ask
regarding
their
appetite.
We
could
work
with
the
city
manager's
office
to
see
if
they
have
any
plans
to
absorb
any
of
our
shelters.
C
They
have
not
indicated
that
they
could
do
that
now
and
and
they
are
operating
again,
they
are
operating
all
the
non-congregate
shelters.
Originally
in
the
response
to
the
pandemic.
C
I
C
Actually,
the
city
has
one
one
million
dollar
contract
we're
providing
the
services
for
them
in
conjunction
with
their
housing.
So
the
challenge
of
the
world
of
housing
and
homelessness
is
that
it's
very
rare
for
the
funder
to
provide
both
the
capital
dollars
or
the
funding
for
the
housing
and
the
services
right.
So
the
county
has
had
to
piecemeal
a
hodgepodge
of
services
dollars
to
connect
it
to
the
frankly
the
dollars
that
we're
providing
on
the
on
the
construction
side.
G
I
I
there
is
precedent
for
the
county,
providing
services
at
city
sites
or
city
city
funded
sites,
and
so
I
I
think
it's
really
important
to
to
continue
our
partnership,
to
make
it
very
clear
that
this
service
piece
is
not
the
piece
that
the
city
is
responsible
for.
We
are
going
through
and
acquiring
these
sites,
and
I
don't
think
that
we
should
take
on
the
services
piece,
that
is
the
responsibility
of
the
county,
we're
not
the
city
and
county
of
of
san
francisco.
I
We
can't
take
on
all
of
this
ourselves
and
we
need
to
make
sure
our
dollars
go
as
far
as
possible.
I
I
understand
mayor
your
point
about
not
wanting
to
have
multiple
categories.
My
my
concern
with
not
breaking
out
the
categories
and
waiting
until
april
is:
I
don't
know
that
that
that
change
is
in
accordance
with
the
spirit
of
our
of
our
guidelines,
for
how
we
change
measure
e.
If
we
don't
change
it
now,
I
don't
think
we
can
go
to
five
categories
in
april.
That's
my
understanding.
E
C
I
Okay,
well,
I'm
that
makes
sense
to
me.
So
I
think
what
I
would
like
to
do,
then,
is
to
move
a
hybrid
of
of
all
all
three
of
the
memos,
including
my
memo.
The
the
point
about
my
memo
that
I
I
understand
if
we're
not
going
to
break
out
the
five
categories
now,
so
I'm
happy
to
go
with
the
mayor's
recommendations
on
in
that
respect,
about
coming
back
with
more
information.
I
We
have
up
to
a
thousand
people,
possibly
more
sleeping
in
their
vehicles
every
night
in
san
jose.
There
is
a
tremendous
need
for
safe
parking
and
that's
one
area
where
again,
we
are
deficient
and
we
have
pending
project
homekey
sites
that
have
parking
lots.
So
we
can
marry
these
two.
These
two
needs
and
I
think
it's
important
to
call
that
out.
C
Council
member,
we
actually
did
catch
that.
I
think,
because
of
conversations
we
had
with
several
council
members
about
not
calling
it
out,
so
it
actually
is
in
the
memo
right.
It
was
not
in
our
briefing
sheet
that
we
originally
provided
to
council
members,
but
we
caught
it
thanks
to
conversations.
So
it
is
in
the
actual
language
of
the
memo,
and
it
was
part
of
our
presentation.
I
Okay,
so
that
wasn't
what
I
saw
in
the
I
saw
it
in
the
presentation,
but
that
wasn't
what
I
saw
in
the
original
memo.
Maybe
it
was
in
the
supplement
that
I
missed
that,
but
it
wasn't
in
the
specific
in
the
recommendation.
So
I
just
wanted
to
be
clear
about
that,
and
so
I
know
it's
a
hodgepodge,
but
I
hope
tony
understands
kind
of
the
intent
of
of
my
motion
for
including
all
of
all
of
the
memos.
We
don't
have
to
exactly
include
five
categories
that
I
suggested,
but
I
do.
I
E
B
Thank
you
mayor.
I
I
thank
you
councilmember
davis,
I'll
be
short
and
sweet.
I
actually
appreciate
the
mayor's
memo.
I
think,
coming
back
and
really
having
a
more
in-depth
look
at
this.
Obviously
I
I
think
that
that
we
should
have
a
set
aside
for
rental
assistance,
and
I
just
wanted
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
why.
B
I
think
that
so,
first
off
we
have
offered
in
this
county
rental
assistance
for
a
long
time
and
in
the
past
it's
really
mostly
been
about
how
to
stretch
dollars,
not
really
how
to
meet
the
need
and
prevent
homelessness,
because
the
pot
was
tremendously
limited
and
then
just
before
a
little
bit
before
kovid,
we
were
fortunate
enough
to
have
partners
in
our
county
that
developed
a
robust
homeless
prevention
system
to
really
focus
on
meeting
the
need
to
pay
rent
versus
making
an
x
amount
of
dollars
stretch
and
giving
everybody
two
hundred
dollars,
and-
and
so
and
I'm
exaggerating
slightly
so
so
I
think
that
we
have
that
system.
B
We've
evolved
into
fundamentally
a
system
that
that
knows
that
people
that
that
are
being
evicted
that
lost
their
job.
They
need
money
and
that
prevents
them
from
being
homeless
right,
and
that
is
so
first
off.
We
have
that.
Secondly,
what
we've
seen
with
kovid
is:
we've
seen
an
expansion
of
the
partnerships
in
our
county
and
and
it's
been
remarkably
efficient.
B
In
fact,
I
think
we
were
the
last
county
in
the
state
correct
me
if
I'm
wrong
somebody,
but
I
think
we
were
the
last
county
in
the
state
to
sort
of
give
up
our
local
system
of
of
offering
that
assistance,
so
we
were
so
successful
in
moving
money
in
a
state
where
that
was
frankly,
very
slow
to
give
money
out,
despite
the
tremendous
need
out
there,
and
so
I
don't
think
that
this
is
going
away
anytime
soon,
and
I
do
think
it
will
continue
to
be
a
need,
and
I
actually,
I
think
it
was
a
very
good
idea
of
the
mayor
to
say,
hey,
let's
have
a
more
in-depth
look
at
this.
B
B
D
Thanks
vice
mayor
great,
thank
you,
jackie
rachel,
the
team
for
the
report
and
all
the
work
you're
doing
to
deploy
our
measure
e
funds
excited
to
see
that
the
numbers
are
even
better
than
expected
in
terms
of
the
revenue.
I
was
also
happy
to
see
the
shift
toward
homeless
support
programs,
especially
prevention
via
rental
assistance.
I
think
that
makes
a
ton
of
sense
and
I
also
appreciated
them.
D
The
mayor's
memo
would
agree
that
we
should
we
should
study
this
further,
get
more
data
before
we
lock
in
rules
that
are
too
rigid,
and
then
I
also
just
wanted
to
highlight
that.
D
I
appreciate
counselor
davis
point
about
supportive
services,
and
I
think
I've
also
made
the
point
in
the
past
that
I
think
it's
really
important,
that
we
reach
out
to
the
county,
ask
for
help
and
attempt
to
partner
and
not
balkanize
services,
which
I
think
is
going
to
just
lead
to
persistent
gaps
and
higher
administrative
costs
over
time,
to
the
extent
that
we
can
create
models
around
co-operating
these
sites
and
figuring
out
who
does
what?
But
in
a
more
more
of
a
template
that
we
can
reuse
that
shares
the
cost.
D
I
would
I
would
love
to
see
so
I
have
just
a
few
questions.
One
is,
and
I
believe
I
forget-
I
forgot
to
note
it
here.
I
think
it
was
table
three.
I
want
to
know
what
can
we
learn?
This
is
for
the
interim
sites.
What
can
we
learn
from
evans
lane?
I
noticed
the
operating
cost
per
person
per
year
was
around
23
000,
which
was
almost
half
of
the
most
expensive
sites
and
I'm
just
curious.
D
C
C
So
what
we've
been
able
to
do,
because
we
have
been
reacting
so
quickly
and
is
that
we've
been
issuing
rfps
of
which
the
nonprofits
have
been
responding
to.
But
really
what
we
need
to
do
is
create
a
whole
system
of
how
we
operate
those
the
most
efficiently
that
we
can
and
ensuring
that
they
are
both
they're
all
operated
at
a
certain
level
of
quality
and
with
expectations,
and
so
we're
very
grateful
that
the
providers
who
have
just
jumped
in
to
do
this
work.
C
D
C
D
Okay,
great
and
then
just
to
go
back
to
counselor
davis
point
which
I
fully
agree
with.
Are
we
I
wasn't
sure
if
I
missed
it,
but
did
you
confirm?
Are
you
planning
to
reach
out
or
or
through
the
city
manager?
Are
we
going
to
reach
out
to
the
county
and
really
make
an
effort
to
explore
sharing
cost
of
operations?
I'm
not
sure
which
parts
of
the
operations
or
services
would
be
most
logical
for
the
county
to
potentially
take
on,
but
is
that
a
conversation
we
can
try
to
have.
D
Okay,
great,
I
just
wanted
to
confirm
that
was
something
we're
going
to
further
explore
that's
great
and
then
and
then
I
just
wanted
to
get
a
little
more
information
about
longer
term
operations.
D
So
if
we-
and
we
can-
you
know-
there'll-
be
plenty
of
time-
you
know
for
us
to
decide
if
this
is
a
direction
we
want
to
go
in
so
this
can
be
debated
in
the
future,
but
just
just
hypothetically,
if
these
interim
sites
were
to
become
longer
term
solutions,
what
would
it
take
for
them
to
be
eligible
for
section,
8,
vouchers
or
other
other
more
stable
sources
of
income?
From
from,
I
guess,
federal
or
state
sources?
Primarily,
I
guess
that
would
enable
us
to
operate
them
more
cost
effectively.
C
So
when
you
mean
I'm
not
sure
what
you
mean,
but
I'm
going
to
guess,
if
you
mean,
can
we
convert
them
from
shelters
which
are
places
where
people
don't
you
know
they
don't
have
leases?
They
don't
have
rights
to
a
landlord-tenant
relationship.
They
have
been
built
under
the
shelter
crisis
act.
We
were
able
to
do
them
quickly
because
we
didn't
follow
zoning
and
code
requirements,
and
so
we
would
have
to
go
back
into
some
of
the
sites
and
do
and
ensure
that
they
met
the
zoning,
the
general
plan,
any
other
requirements.
C
You
know
some
of
the
places
we
picked
were
very
close
to
transit
corridors
where
there's
lots
of
car
traffic,
which
might
be
okay,
if
you're
in
a
shelter
but
may
not
be
so
great
if
you're
living
in
there
full
time
so
first
we'd
have
to
ensure
that
they
could
meet
the
housing
code
and
the
planning
requirements.
If
we
can
get
past
that
particular
hurdle,
then
people
have
housing
vouchers
and
they're
always
looking
for
places
to
live.
C
If
that
would
be
a
place
that
they
would
choose
to
live
for
a
period
of
time,
that
would
always
be
an
option.
I
know
the
housing
authority
is
interested
in
partnering
around
family
housing.
They
actually
have
a
home
key
site
that
is
in
your
district.
Now,
I'm
trying
to
remember,
because
you
flipped,
I
think
it
is
in
your
district.
C
They
are
using
vouchers
for
that
particular
site
acquisition
and
there
is
a
activity
now
that
would
we're
exploring
with
the
housing
authority
and
the
county,
which
would
allow
us
to
voucher
them
to
use
as
a
temporary
holding
place
as
the
site
in
council
member
davis's
district,
which
is
in
san
pedro.
It
acts
as
a
kind
of
a
holding
site
for
people
who
are
going
to
enter
permanent,
supportive
housing
and
they
are
in
there
in
advance
so
that
we
can
get
them
ready
to
move
into
their
permanent
home.
C
So
there
is
an
opportunity
to
use
vouchers
there,
but
otherwise
the
only
other
option
is
that
people
pay
some
portion
of
their
income
towards
rent.
The
last
thing
I
would
say
is
that
you
know
we
are
going
to
do
some
work
at
the
sites
kind
of
meeting
with
people
that
live
there
to
ask
them
what
they
think
about
the
potential
about
living
there
long
term
would
that
be
of
interest
to
them
and
the
reason
why
that's
important
is
because
our
experience
with
sure
stay
is
you
know.
C
People
are
really
struggling
with
the
fact
that
they
don't
have
full
kitchens
in
those
facilities,
and
we
know
that
the
smallest
units
in
our
affordable
housing
system
are
the
hardest
ones
just
to
remain
occupied.
So
when
you
move
into
that
rental
relationship,
people
move
around
way
more
quickly.
So
I
think
we
have
equity
concerns.
We
have
safety
concerns
and
we
just
want
to
make
sure
that
the
units
are
habitable
for
long-term
living.
D
Yeah,
well,
I'm
glad
we're
doing
that
investigation.
I
mean
I,
I
fully
acknowledge
they're
not
ideal
for
a
long-term
stay.
I
I
guess
as
long
as
it
costs
us
850
000
a
door
to
build
new
units
and
the
alternative
is
living
in
a
tent
by
the
creek.
This.
This
does
feel
like
a
a
middle
path
that
may
help
us
scale
up
dignified
shelter
for
more
people.
C
While
the
units
cost
us
850
000.,
that
is
the
unit
cost.
I
just
want
to
remind
you,
council
member.
It
only
costs
us
125
dollars
to
build
the
unit
and
there
is
no
ongoing
obligation
from
the
city.
So
I'm
not
so
sure
it's
a
cost
argument
because
I
would
say
it
is
way
less
expensive
for
us
to
do
permanent,
supportive
housing,
because
the
city
does
not
bear
the
long-term
cost
of
operating
it.
However,
I
would
agree
with
you
that
these
are
much
faster
than
the
three
to
five
years.
D
Yeah,
I
mean
look,
I
don't
have
a
long
back
and
forth
on
this.
I
I
do
think.
At
the
end
of
the
day,
from
the
taxpayers
perspective,
the
city's
contribution
might
only
be
150
000,
but
the
cost
to
build
is
850
000
a
door.
That's
all
public
subsidy,
so
out
of
every
taxpayer's
pocket,
the
cost.
That
matters
is
that
it's
costing
us
850
000
a
door
to
build
housing
for
people,
and
so
what
interests
me
about
the
model-
and
I
acknowledge
it's-
it's
not
ideal,
at
least
as
we've
currently
built
them
for
long-term
stays.
D
There
is
intriguing,
I
mean
it's
something
we
should
pay
attention
to
and
try
to
learn
from,
and
I
think
gives
us
a
chance
to
maybe
turn
the
corner
on
this
crisis
a
bit
faster,
given
the
thousands
of
people,
as
you
pointed
out,
who
are
suffering
out
on
the
street
so
anyway,
that
was
my
only
point.
It's
just
the
cost
effectiveness
of
the
model
is
interesting
and
and
may
give
us
opportunities
to
innovate.
C
E
Well,
thank
you.
I
I
can't
say
I
have
a
great
solution
here,
but
I
do
know
every
one
of
the
the
big
13
cities
are
in
the
same
position,
which
is
we've
all
funded
a
lot
of
one-time
solutions
because
we're
all
in
a
crisis
in
dealing
with
homelessness
and
we're
all
facing
a
fiscal
cliff
together,
which
is
there's
not
ongoing,
operating
money
here,
and
so
that
is
something
we
are
strongly
advocating
for.
E
I
know
that
there
are
some
measures
on
the
statewide
ballot
that
some
have
proposed,
which
might
address
some
small
piece
of
this.
But
more
specifically,
we
are
gathered,
at
least
with
the
with
the
large
13
cities
really
in
lockstep,
to
try
to
get
ongoing
money
out
of
the
general
fund.
Governor
has
been
resistant
to
the
idea
of
actually
committing
ongoing
general
fund
money
to
this
purpose.
So
that's
why
we're
getting
these
one-time
allocations?
E
D
Awesome
thanks
mayor,
I
really
appreciate
your
efforts
there
and
those
of
city
staff
and
I
see
them
over
time
so
I'll
leave
it
at
that.
But
thank
you
for
all
the
information.
E
All
right,
thank
you
and
if
I
could
just
also
just
jump
in
on
evan's
lane,
my
understanding
is
one
reason
and
jackie
correct
me.
If
I'm
wrong
and
there's
one
reason
why
we
see
slightly
lower
per
person.
Cost
is
because
those
are
family
units
and
we
have
a
smaller
number
of
units.
Obviously
more
children,
they
don't
demand
quite
as
much
services.
Is
that
fair,
jackie.
E
Okay,
councilman
crosscom.
M
Well,
thank
you
so
much
and
I
and
I
appreciate
the
conversation
that
that's
been
had,
but
along
those
lines
again
as
if
I
were
a
four-year-old
minus
the
orioles
this
time.
If
you
could
help
me,
because
I
actually
have
to
sneak
into
the
kitchen
and
look
for
some
after
that
conversation,
if
you
could
help
me
understand
jackie,
because
I
I
need
to
be
able
to
explain
this
to
other
four
year
olds.
M
M
C
Sure
so
that
is
the
annual
operating
cost
and
it
includes
things
like
security
on
the
site,
the
case
management
people
who
are
operating
the
property
piece
of
the
site
as
well,
and
so
that's
the
total
cost
to
provide
the
services
security
for
the
40
residents
that
live
there
case
management
because.
M
Someone
that
would
look
at
that
would
say
that
we're
basic
we
could
pretty
much
be
providing
almost
one
assistant
per
person,
it's
per
bed
per
person
and
for
that
kind
of
assistant
I
mean
we
could
be
almost
performing
miracles
in
terms
of
the
kind
of
support
that
we
could
be
providing.
M
So
you
can
understand,
some
of
this
seems
really
high
in
some
of
these
facilities,
and
so
it
it
sometimes
it
boggles
the
mind
and
I'm
not
saying
that
it's
it's
not
it's
not
accurate
or
it's
not
worth
the
cost.
M
Obviously,
but
I
think
to
to
council
member
davis's
point-
and
I
and
I
spoke
a
little
bit
about
this-
I
touched
upon
it
last
tuesday
it
it's
time
that
we
have
a
formal
conversation
with
the
county
in
terms
of
that
last
safety
net
and
how
we
hold
the
county
accountable
for
the
services
that
I
believe
the
county
is
responsible.
For
you
know
it's
no
secret.
I
ran
for
the
county
board
of
supervisors.
I
didn't
win,
that's
why
I
continue
to
grace
you
with
my
presence.
M
You're
welcome,
but
you
know
part
of
my
speaking
points
were
you
know,
I'm
running,
because
I
believe
you
know
I
would
do
a
great
job
of
providing
that
last
safety
net
on
the
board.
M
So
it's
it's
the
reason
why
I
was
so
passionate
about
that
seat,
because
I
I
believe
I
truly
believed.
I
still
believe
that
the
county
plays
a
pivotal
role
in
what
happens
to
our
residents
in
santa
clara
county.
M
It's
such
an
important
seat
and
the
county
plays
such
an
important
role
in
what
happens
to
single
moms
our
foster
care
children
once
they
grow
up
while
they're
still
in
the
system.
I
was
in
foster
care
and
adoptions.
Before
I
ever
came
into
this
world,
you
know,
but
families
who
are
are
struggling
with
drug
addictions
and
mental
health
crises
and
and
and
we're
dealing
with
a
a
crisis
like
we've
never
seen
before,
which
is,
of
course,
the
housing
crisis,
but
we
cannot.
M
M
M
M
And
and-
and
it
was
very
clear
to
me
that
he
was
high
as
a
kite
for
one,
but
when
the
police
officers
actually
tracked
him
down.
It
was
clear
that
that
there
were
other
issues
that
he
was
dealing
with
and
they
let
him
go.
M
There
was
nowhere
to
take
him,
and
so
I
I'm
really
struggling
with
with,
with
with
the
issue
that
we're
dealing
with
and
the
folks
that
are
they're
truly
struggling
on
the
street
and
that
have
no
where
to
turn
and
that
we
have
essentially
turned
our
backs
on
them.
We've
turned
our
backs
on
them.
M
M
And
when
do
we
start
having
these
conversations
with
the
county,
the
last
safety
net?
These
were
my
speaking
points.
When
do
we
start
having
a
conversation
with
the
last
last
safety
net?
M
M
M
M
So
so,
besides
asking
the
the
taxpayers
for
additional
funds
to
continue,
building
or
or
continue
managing
these
facilities,
what
other
options
do
we
have
in
terms
of
asking
our
last
safety
net
for
for
their
their
their
end
of
the
responsibility?
C
So,
thank
you
again
for
your
compassion
around
this
particular
issue,
and
what
I
would
say
is
that
I
would
acknowledge
this
is
not
just
a
housing
problem
as
you've
stated
so.
C
The
lessons
I've
learned
through
doing
this
work
is
that
you
know
you
can't
really
survive
in
san
jose
earning
900
a
month,
which
is
what
so
many
of
the
elderly.
People
who
are
in
disability
that
are
living
in
sure
stay
are
earning,
that's
the
benefit
that
they
earn,
and
so
we
have
failed
safety
net
systems
that
start
at
the
federal
and
the
state
level
that
don't
provide
sufficient
incomes
for
people
who
are
elderly
or
people
who
are
disabled
to
live
here
in
a
dignified
manner.
C
C
You
have
two
housing
departments,
both
on
the
county
and
the
city
side
who
are
collaborating,
but
there's
a
whole
other
world
of
the
county
in
behavioral
health
that
we're
just
beginning
to
work
with
foster
care
system,
the
family
support
system
that
are
much
bigger
and
have
greater
access
to
resources
and,
as
part
of
the
community
plan,
the
county
is
beginning
to
look
at.
How
can
they
engage
those
systems
in
becoming
a
player
in
responding
to
the
issue
of
homelessness?
C
C
But
I
think
you
raise
a
good
question
regarding:
where
do
we
have
those
partnerships?
How
do
we
create
those
stronger
partnerships
and
where
how
do
we
make
the
connection
between
a
city
in
the
county?
It
is
very
challenging
and
difficult,
and
I
think
that
is
something
that
the
housing
department
will
have
to
work
with
the
city
manager's
office
in
figuring
out
how
we
tap
into
those
we
were
working
collectively
as
an
administration
to
begin
tapping
into
those
prior
to
covet
19..
C
All
of
our
focus
has
been
on
the
pandemic,
but
I
definitely
think
there
is
an
opportunity
there
for
us
to
go
back
to
that
work
and
it
is
a
collective
work
that
the
housing
department
is
part
of.
But
it's
also
part
of
the
larger
administration
as
well.
M
Thank
you.
I
I
appreciate
I
I
thank
you.
I
I
appreciate
your
response,
jackie,
I
guess
I
and
I
guess
what
I'm
I'm
gonna
ask
for,
is.
M
That
is
not
very
satisfying,
I
just
have
to
say,
and
it's
not
it's
not
your
fault,
I'm
not
blaming
you
because
I
know
there's
a
lot
of
moving
parts
and
there's
a
lot
of
systems
that
are
involved
that
have
been
broken
for
a
very
long
time
and
and
it's
very
complicated.
I
I
don't
believe
that
this
is
an
easy,
an
easy
issue.
Nor
are
there
easy
answers
and
I
think
that.
M
That
is
relentless
and
is
appalled
by
all
of
this,
and-
and
I
have
to
tell
you,
I'm
appalled,
I'm
just
appalled
that
that
that
that
I
I
just
I
don't
wanna,
I
don't
wanna
set
up
another
layer
of
bureaucracy
nor
another
layer,
another
department,
you
know
where
we,
I
don't
know
what
the
answer
is,
I'm
just
as
I'm
just
as
frustrated
about
this
and
I'm
just
starting
to
you
know,
really
question
a
lot
of
things
as
a
as
as
I'm
turning
the
corner
towards
the
end
of
my
term
and
and
I
feel
a
sense
of
great
urgency
to
try
and
figure
out
what
is
the
fastest
way
to
get
to
this,
because
as
we're
as
we're
as
I'm
looking
at
folks,
you
know
it's
just
clear
housing
is
not
the
only
thing
people
are.
M
But
but
but
what's
clear
is
if
we
don't
get
the
mental
health
director,
and
I
don't
know
who
that
is,
you
know
and
start
applying
some
pressure,
and
I
know
that
that
is
gonna
have
to
come
directly
from
the
city
of
san
jose
and
a
meeting
of
the
heads.
It's
it's
just
it's
gonna.
It's
not
gonna
move
fast
enough
for
our
folks.
It's
not
gonna,
be
fascinating,
I'll
I'll
reserve
the
rest
of
well,
I'm
done
anyway.
Yeah.
I
I
know
that
I
know
that
councilmember
peralta
hasn't
spoken,
I'm
not
going
to
make
any
more
points.
I
just
want
to
add
to
my
motion.
I
I
have
the
same
frustration
that
my
colleagues
have
and
I
know
I
kicked
off
this
discussion-
that
that
jackie
probably
thinks
is
a
tangent,
but
I
want
to
just
add
to
my
motion
and
I
think,
council
member
crosstalk,
you
worded
it
appropriately.
I
I
want
to
add
to
my
motion
direction
to
staff
to
have
a
formal
or
begin
a
formal
conversation
with
the
county
about
their
responsibilities
for
providing
a
social
safety
net
to
our
homeless
residents,
including
drug
and
alcohol
and
behavioral
mental
health
services,
and
to
bring
that
back
when
you
come
to
us
with
this
in
april,
with
this
second
hearing
to
bring
back
a
status
report
to
us
about
that.
I
So
that's
that's!
In
addition
to
my
emotion,
I
hope
that's
okay
with
council
member
spars
of
the
seconder,
so.
B
Just
a
question
so
is
that
a
presentation
from
county
staff
to
our
staff
and
then
our
staff
is
going
to
be
sharing
that
presentation
to
us
in
april?
What's
coming.
I
No,
I
want.
I
want
our
staff
city
staff,
whether
it's
housing
department
or
city
manager's
office
or
or
someone
that
she
designates
to
actually
begin
that
conversation
and
when
they
bring
back
this
report
and
the
the
recommendations
from
from
mayor
ricardo
about
the
rental
assistance
that
they
also
bring
back
a
status
report
on
how
that
discussion.
I
B
P
Cross
yeah,
thank
you,
and
I
appreciate
the
discussion
as
well.
No,
not
everybody.
That's
with
us
today
was
with
us
when
we
had
a
a
couple.
Actually
joint
study
sessions
with
the
county,
and
one
of
the
topics
of
discussion
was
what
we're
talking
about
here
in
regards
to
the
additional
safety
net
services,
specifically
with
our
our
homeless
community
members
and
specifically
around
mental
illness,
and
in
fact
it
was
a
number
of
years
ago.
P
They
they
have-
and
that
was
one
tool
right-
that
there
was
an
interest
on
our
part
to
see
the
county
step
up
and
utilize
that
we
couldn't
that
right
that
we,
I
think
we
attempt
to
use
as
many
tools
as
possible
and-
and
this
was
one
that
the
county
had
at
their
disposal
that
they
had
not
enacted.
P
So
I
just
in
in
regards
to
the
sentiment
that
I've
been
hearing
from
my
colleague
you
know,
anatomy
is
an
agreement
on
there
and-
and
I
think
that
you
know,
there's
a
need
to
be
good
partners
in
in
this
regard.
We
know
that
resolving
this
issue
of
homelessness
is
not
something
that
we,
the
city,
are
gonna,
be
able
to
do
a
loan.
The
county
is
not
gonna.
Do
the
loan,
our
nonprofit
partners
are
not
gonna,
be
able
to
do
the
loan.
P
It's
truly
gonna
take
a
comprehensive
and
collaborative
effort,
and
really
you
know,
being
creative
in
in
looking
at
our
approaches
and
and
and
taking
responsibility
for
the
the
issues
that
are
in
front
of
us,
and
so
you
know,
I
think
I
I
understand
that
the
concerns
intimately
as
well
with
my
own,
whatever
whether
it's
personal
experiences
as
councilmember
carrasco's,
pointed
out
or
or
really
just
representing
the
community
in
downtown,
as
I
had
and
and
as
I
have
in
the
the
challenges
that
that
we
have
faced
seeing
it.
P
P
So
I
I
do
want
to
say
thank
you
as
well
to
mayor
licardo
for
his
efforts
on
misery
and
and
all
the
the
nonprofit
partners
community
advocates
that
helped
to
put
us
into
this
really
good
predicament
that
we're
in
today,
which
is
discussing
additional
resources
and
how
we
might
wisely
allocate
them
to
address
this
again.
P
There's
this
desperate
need
that
we
have
for
not
only
helping
to
resolve
homelessness,
but
the
affordable
housing
crisis
that
we
have
here
in
in
our
city
and
in
our
region
and
to
have
a
problem
like
this
with
additional
millions
of
dollars,
is
a
good
problem
to
have
and
thank
you,
staff
for
your
your
work
on
being
able
to
look
at
how
we
can
can
allocate
now
the
the
dollars
through
measure
e,
considering
that
we
have
more
than
we
had
expected
and
then
looking
at
this
year
to
come
as
well,
even
even
more
and
wanting
to
be
able
to
do
so
wisely
and
seeing
where
we
can
can
meet
some
of
the
needs
that
we
have.
P
And
so
I
I
want
to
say
thank
you.
You
know
for
for
your
work
on
that.
I
do
appreciate
the
the
dialogue
that
we
were
able
to
have
on
your
suggested
allocations,
and
then
my
colleagues
suggestions
and
the
motion
that
we
have
here
today,
which
which
looks
like
we'll
get,
hopefully
some
unanimous
support
on
and
then
be
able
to
come
back.
I
know
that
councilmember
davis
was
talking
about
that
in
an
opportunity
to
maybe
drill
down
a
little
bit
further.
I
I
won't
suggest
it
here.
P
I
don't
know
if
I'll
suggest
it
when
we
come
back,
but
speaking
of
you
know,
tools
in
the
toolbox.
As
all
my
colleagues
know,
I
attempt
to
to
rattle
the
cages
every
now
and
then
with
the
sanctioned
encampment
opportunity
and
won't
won't
make
that
recommendation
here.
But
I
do
think
that
as
we're
talking
about
additional
resources
right
that
that
should
be
something
that
we
continue
to
think
towards
much
like
the
emergency.
Interim
housing
communities
are
not
meant
to
be
long-term
permanent
solutions,
neither
are
sanctioned
encampments,
but
I
think
they
are.
P
That
is
a
piece
of
this
puzzle
that
we
have
been
missing
to
help
us
down
this,
this
path
of
getting
people
off
of
the
street
and
then
ultimately
into
permanent,
permanent
housing
and-
and
ultimately,
I
think
you
know-
I
agree
with
a
lot
of
the
the
commentary
that
was.
It
was
said
in
right-
that
dignified
housing
like
that
is
not
gonna
come
quickly
or
cheap.
We
recognize
that,
but
we
do
need
we.
We
need.
P
The
full
package
of
solutions
to
get
us
from
where
we're
at
today
to
get
to
that
ultimate
destination,
where
there
is
enough
significant
housing
for
everybody,
dignified
housing
for
everybody
that
needs
it,
the
the
timeline
and
the
cost.
For
that
we
know
it
is
very
significant.
P
That's
why
it
is
important
that
we
do
continue
to
allocate
a
significant
amount
of
our
resources
to
to
fund
those
solutions,
but
I
think
we
have
to
be
realistic
and
and
be
able
to
identify
some
shorter
term
solutions,
and
so
I
appreciate
that
we're
we're
doing
that
here,
we'll
we'll
be
able
to
allocate
these
additional
resources
in
a
way
that
will
help
us
in
more
broadly
and
so
I'll.
Leave
it
at
that
for
now,
but
but
may
consider
much
like
councilmember
davis,
some
some
potential
additional
recommendations
for
resource
spending
as
we
come
back.
E
B
Okay,
thank
you
thanks.
I
so,
in
the
context
of
a
discussion
about
support
services,
you
know
the
county
is
not
doing
nothing
right,
they
have
an
enormous
safety
net
and,
and
so
there
is
work
underway.
B
I
think
that
there
is
much
more
to
do
and
I'm
interested
in
hearing
more
about
these
services,
particularly
in
terms
of
on-site
medical
care
things
like
security.
B
There
are
things
that
we
can
do
and
we
do
it
through
partners
who,
by
the
way,
are
stretched
just
like
everybody
else
is
because
we've
gone
through
a
pandemic
and
because
I
have
a
lot
of
sites
in
my
district.
I
know
how
hard
it
is
out
on
the
ground
to
get
some
of
these
initiatives
going,
and
I
support
the
effort
to
have
a
conversation
so
that
we
can
plan
more
concretely
as
we
look
at
expanding
sites
and
and
correspondingly
match
the
expansion
of
services.
B
I
do
think
we
have
to
have
an
open
conversation,
and
I
wanted
to
ask
a
couple
of
questions
so
lee
first
off
our
joint
meeting
or
may-
or
maybe
you
know
this,
our
joint
meeting
is
tentatively
fall.
Exactly
just
fall,
correct.
O
B
So
if
we
can
use
the
april
meeting
as
working
towards
that
and
and
also
an
opportunity,
not
just
for
measure
e
but
to
look
at
our
budget
process
and
are
there
certain
things
that
we
could
pay
for
at
the
county
and
before
anybody
freaks
out
when
we
need
a
bed,
we
need
a
bed
right.
B
We
all
know
our
mcat
team
is
out
there
and
if
somebody
needs
a
detox
bed
and
they're
willing
to
take
it,
that's
a
very
precious
moment
in
time
and
we
need
a
bed
or
a
placement
at
the
under
other
end
of
that
referral,
and
one
of
the
things
that
we
should
explore
is
really
paying
for
the
expansion
of
those
services
at
the
county
and,
as
we
come
back
in
april,
one
of
the
things
I
think
that
we
should
look
at
is
through
the
county's
pre-trial
services,
particularly
for
some
of
the
hardcore
populations
that
we're
making
references
to
the
county
has
some
extensive
reports
in
the
office
of
pre-trial
services.
B
That
include
specifically
what
beds
the
county
thinks
will
be
needed
and
what
the
where
the
gaps
are
and-
and
I
I'm
hoping
that
we
can
use
april
as
an
opportunity
to
have
a
substantive
discussion
about
meeting
those
gaps,
and
I
do
think
you
know
the
money
that
we're
going
to
vote
on
to
set
aside
for
services.
It
should
include
security
and,
by
the
way,
that's
something
that
residents
of
shelters
ask
for
right.
We
tend
to
think
not,
but
you
know
they
want
to
be
safe,
just
like
everybody
else.
B
So
that's
something
that
we
can
use
money
for.
I
do
believe
very
much
that
a
lot
of
folks
who
are
homeless
or
in
fact
the
data
shows
that
being
homeless
shortens
your
lifespan.
B
There
creates
a
lot
of
health
disparities
and
there's
a
huge
need
for
health
services,
and
that's
where
the
county
and
community
clinics
and
others
can
partner
with
us,
so
that
we
can
just
get
it
done,
and
I
wanted
to
also
really
thank
the
mayor
for
his
extensive
lobbying
efforts
from
texting
during
council
meetings
from
early
early
morning
calls
to
late
late
late
calls.
B
I
know
the
mayor
lobbies
for
us
and
and
their
the
governor
has
gone
to
cities
up
and
down
the
state,
and
frankly
I
suspect
the
governor
is
hearing
the
same
things
in
every
major
city
in
california,
and
so
I'd
like
to
see
if
we
can
add
now,
if
that's
allowable
to
add
now
or
if
we
can
add
it
to
the
agenda
for
april,
to
add
our
igr
team
and
the
mayor's
office
in
lobbying
for
funding
for
support
services
and
working
with
the
county's
lobbying
efforts,
because
we
are
in
budget
season
right,
we're
in
budget
season
right
now.
B
We
wait
till
we
wait
till
june
we're
too
late,
and
so,
if
we
can
partner
with
the
county's
lobbying
efforts
to
get
more
funding
to
the
mayor's
point,
we
need
ongoing
funding
for
support
services.
B
Many
of
the
mayor
of
sorry,
many
of
the
governor's
efforts
are
focused
around
paying
for
permanent
or
interim
housing
and
really
ignoring
the
fact
that,
as
our
as
what
is
in
front
of
us
right
now
that
we
need
supportive
services
and,
frankly,
folks
who
have
been
homeless
folks,
who
are
extremely
low,
income
or
very
low
income,
have
needs
and
require
support
services.
And
so,
when
we
look
at
costs,
the
cost
isn't
just
for
you
know
four
walls
and
a
roof.
B
These
costs,
in
order
for
any
site
to
be
successful,
involve
those
services,
and
so
I
wanted
to
add
our
to
combine
our
lobbying
efforts
for
these
support
services.
Is
this
something
that
we
need?
We
can
do
tonight
or
do
we
need
to
wait
leave
for
april
or
sarah?
I'm
not
sure
who
to
look
at
for
the
lobbying.
O
I
think
funding
for
all
of
this
is
on
our
priority
list,
so
much
as
partnering
with
the
county.
I
think
this
is
kind
of
like
a
tactical
or
strategic
decision
as
we
build
coalitions
in
sacramento
and
kind
of
push
this
forward,
and
obviously
we've
used
the
mayor's
office
and
and
the
big
city
mayors
as
part
of
that,
but
to
the
extent
there
are
opportunities,
but
the
county
we
always
partner
on
on
those
kind
of
funding
requests.
So.
B
Okay,
and
so
our
efforts
are
partnering
with
csac
and
those
efforts.
The
other
thing
that
I'll
add
to
this
and
and
the
mayor
has
heard
me
on
this-
is
to
include
the
certification
process
the
to
our
lobbying
efforts.
B
So
just
as
the
governor
has
sped
up
red
tape
for
building
tiny
homes,
there
has
not
been
a
corresponding
effort
to
cut
through
red
tape
for
certifying
additional
beds,
and
we
need
to
speed
up
the
support
service
portion
as
well
and
and
even
though
we're
the
city
and
we're
not
the
county,
guess
what
we're
the
town
square
we're
operating
now
tiny
homes
they're
on
our
land,
they're
paid
for
by
our
contracts,
and
we
need
those
efforts
to
be
successful
if
we
make
referrals,
if
our
folks
or
folks
in
our
facilities
need
those
support
services,
those
services
need
to
actually
be
there
because
I'll
tell
you
just
because
I
have
a
lot
of
the
sites
in
my
district.
B
E
Thank
you
I
I
should
say
I
mean
we
know.
The
county,
of
course,
is
very
constrained
also
in
resources,
but
I
think
there's
some
opportunities
now,
with
the
federal
approval
of
the
catalan
program
state
level,
it's
going
to
enable
particularly
the
mental
health
and
treatment
services
to
really
accompany
each
of
the
in-house
resin
individuals,
as
long
as
they're
partnering,
either
with
the
county
or
the
county
health
plan
and
the
city
may
be
able
to
play
a
role
there.
It's
something
I'm
we're
looking
into
now,
we'll
bring
back
to
the
council
to
consider.
C
Want
it
just
to
clarify,
because
I
I
don't
think
I
did
a
very
good
job
in
terms
of
the
county's
commitment
and
their
partnership
with
us.
You
know
they
have
funded
38
units,
3
800
units
through
measure
a
and
they
pay
for
all
of
the
services
in
those
units.
So
anytime
we
do
a
permanent,
supportive
housing
development.
C
It
is
the
county
who
is
providing
the
services
and
not
the
city,
we're
not
investing
in
that
place
because,
of
course,
we
don't
have
funding
to
do
that,
so
they
are
playing
a
significant
role
in
the
permanent
housing
world
of
which
they
have
made
this
ongoing
commitment
to
ensure
their
sufficient
services,
and
they
have
come
back
into
properties
that
the
city
initiated
where
we
need
additional
services
and
have
really
come
to
the
table
and
brought
those
to
ensure
that
people
are
getting
what
they
need.
C
R
Thank
you,
so
I
I
wanted
to
add
about
cal
aim
mayor
that
you
just
mentioned
and
because
I
I
I'm
just
listening
to
this
conversation,
I
think
this
is
a
really
great
opportunity
for
us
to
connect
with
the
county
around
how
they
and
they're
just
going
through
this
process,
to
figure
out
how
they're
going
to
serve
medi-cal,
funded
services
or
the
majority
of
the
services
that
they
render,
and
I
know
that
they
had
been
working
on
a
what
they
call
a
cast
framework
which
is
across
agency
service
team
framework
and
it's
a
service
delivery.
R
But
it
is
really
a
very
much
focus
on
collaboration,
and
it
just
really
spoke
to
me,
as
we've
been
doing
a
lot
of
a
lot
of
work
with
the
county
around
our
gender-based
violence
prevention,
as
well
as
our
child
well-being,
work,
and
it
I.
This
is
just
the
direction
that
we're
going
to
that.
I
feel
that
a
lot
of
systems
are
going
to
move
into
because
we're
not
the
answer
to
the
problems
and
the
social
issues
that
we
have
in
our
community.
R
It
takes
all
the
different
levels
of
government
to
play
a
part,
and
so
I
I
would
love
to
see
if
we
could
have
a-
and
I
think
what
it's
been
effective
for
me
in
in
the
work
that
we're
doing
with
child
well-being
and
the
gender-based
violence
items
is
to
have
joint
meetings,
but
through
the
committees,
so
that
we
can
actually
get
some
action
items
completed
and
councilmember
davis.
R
I
think
you're,
the
one
who
has
the
the
motion
on
the
floor,
and
so
I
wonder
if
maybe
what
we
could
include
in
as
part
of
this
motion
is
to
begin
to
have
a
joint
meeting
with
you
know,
whoever
the
committee
is
best
to
to
meet
with
the
county.
I
just
think
this
is
a
really
good
time
to
cross
over,
because
they're
trying
to
figure
out
how
they're
going
to
provide
services
and
everything
is
not
set.
I
mean
things
are
just.
R
This
is
an
opportunity
to
actually
leverage
resources
and
leverage
efforts
in
a
very
meaningful
way.
We've
done
it
before
we've
done
it
with
digital
inclusion,
where
we
bought
the
hot
spots
they
bought
the
devices.
I
mean
we've
just
been
doing
a
lot
more
of
this
work
with
them
in
the
child
care.
We
did
it
with
that
as
well.
I
just
think
that
this
is
another
opportunity
first
to
to
work
on
an
issue
that
is
so
complex
and
that
takes
so
many
different
players.
R
So
I
wonder
if
you
could
would
accept
a
friendly
amendment
to
have
us
commit
to
a
sorry.
I'm
gonna
run
out
of
energy
here
with
my
device,
if
you
would,
if
you
would
have
that
included
in
you
in
in
the
motion
for
us
to
follow
up
with
a
joint
meeting,
and
then
we
can
figure
out
whatever
committee
is,
is
best
suited,
like
I
said.
I
So
I
know
we
have
many
requests
for
joint
meetings
out
already
to
the
county
and
I
just
want
to
check
with
lee
on
whether
we
might
have
something
about
this
already
requested
out
to
them.
I'm
not
sure
council,
member
esparza
was
talking
about
the
meeting
in
the
fall
lee.
Do
you
want
to
I'm
happy
to
add
it
to
my
motion,
but
I
for
sure
I.
R
Yeah
and
I
yeah
and
it
doesn't
have
to
happen
by
april,
but
I
know
in
time
we're
going
to
need
to
have
this
conversation
because
we
need
to
just
coordinate
our
our
systems,
but
right
please
go
ahead.
We.
O
Yes,
yes,
I'm
looking
when
we
last
met
pre
covid
with
the
county,
we
actually
presented
the
community
plan
and
homelessness
after
that
that
was
probably
the
first
a
few
weeks
of
the
pandemic.
Actually
one
of
the
referrals
was
on
strategy,
two
of
the
community
plan
and
homelessness
for
another
joint
meeting
and
so
strategy.
O
Two
of
the
plan
is
really
those
safety
net
systems,
and
while
we
took
leadership
over
kind
of
strategy,
three,
which
was
the
you
know,
emergency
interventions,
the
county
you
know,
is
responsible
and
and
took
responsibility
for
strategy
too,
so
we
could
definitely
follow
up
with
them,
whether
it's
the
larger
meeting
or
through
the
committee
structure
council
member
arenas
that
that
has
really
worked
successfully
with
biz
fiz
and
doesn't
require
the
same
amount
of
resources
sometimes,
and
we
can
kind
of
do
a
deeper
dive
into
specific
things.
O
So
I
think
you
know
just
from
the
city
manager's
office,
we'll
check
in
with
the
county
executive's
office,
jackie's
counterpart
or
used
to
be
counterpart
of
the
office
of
supportive
housing
at
the
county.
Key
has
been
promoted
to
a
deputy
county
executive
and
and
his
role
there
really
is
to
to
bring
alignment
and
and
start
to
make
sure
some
of
those
safety
net
systems
that
we're
all
talking
about,
whether
it
be
federal
state
or
a
lot
of
county
ones
or
even
our
own.
O
Some
of
those
some
of
those
holes
in
that
safety
net
are
smaller,
and
so
many
people
aren't
falling
through
the
cracks.
So
it's
definitely
a
body
of
work
as
jackie
mentioned
that
started
pre-pandemic
that
needs
to
get
revved
up.
R
R
I
know
that
that
there's
we've
lost
many
of
those
because
they're
you
know
their
homes
that
that
sometimes
have
had
some
issues
and
once
you
lose
them,
they
just
don't
reopen
once
again
and
from
from
what
I
understand,
a
lot
of
our
unhoused
community
lost
their
their
homes.
This
way,
and
just
never
was
they-
they
just
were
never
able
to
get
back
into
a
stable
environment,
and
so
is
this
part
of
our
sober
living
environments
and
purchasing
homes.
This
way,
an
alternative
that
we
can
look
into
at
some
point.
C
That
has
not
been
one
of
the
specific
areas
that
housing
has
been
looking
at
into,
but
I
am
sure,
under
the
county's
office
of
supportive
housing
and
through
their
substance,
behavioral
health
offices.
They
look
into
those
types
of
programs.
So
we're
happy
to
connect
on
that
and
ask
them
if
they
have
any
plans
on
any
kind
of
expansion
or
funding
in
those
areas.
R
I
was
speaking
to
somebody,
oh
my
god,
I'll
I'll,
follow
up
with
you
offline
because
I'm
gonna
say
the
name
wrong
or
the
agency
wrong,
but
I
think
it's
one
of
the
the
ways
that
and
the
county-
I
don't
think,
is
really
moving-
has
moved
in
this
direction,
but
I
think
is
is
hoping
to
pivot
in
this
direction,
where
they
fund
behavioral
health
organizations
and
they
purchase
the
home
and
they
manage
the
home
instead
of
having
it
be
a
county
site-
and
I
thought
well
wouldn't
that
be
one
wonderful
for
us
to
also
adopt
outside
of
the
hotel
option,
which
I
think
is
a
great
option,
but
there's
a
limit
in
terms
of
the
hotels
that
we
can
purchase,
and
this
is
a
smaller
environment.
R
But
I
think
it
could
work
for
some
of
those
folks
who
have
the
type
of
challenges
that
just
need
that
kind
of
oversight.
Anyways
it
wonderful,
we'll
we
can
talk
offline.
I
just
was
wondering
if
that
could
be
something
we
could
explore.
C
Yeah,
our
our
funding
sources
haven't
traditionally
been
allowed
to
use
for
that
particular
type
of
housing,
because
it
isn't,
you
know,
because
of
our
requirements.
I'm
trying
to
vaguely
have
shasta
green
is
like
talking
behind
my
ear
about
this,
because
we
at
one
point
were
thinking
about
doing
something
like
this,
and
I
know
that
our
20
fun.
C
We
couldn't
combine
those
two
for
some
reason,
so
we'll
definitely
have
to
get
back
to
you
on
what
our
limitations
are
and
why
they're
not
coming
to
the
top
of
my
head,
but
we
will
get
back
to
you
on
it,
but
usually
those
are
not
particular
types
of
housing
that
have
been
eligible
for
the
type
of
funding.
We
do.
R
Great
well,
and
thank
you
for
for
for
following
up
on
that,
I
well
you
know.
Things
have
changed,
especially
with
these
last
couple
of
years,
in
the
pandemic
and
and
if
there's
any
risk
restrictions
loosening
up
of
restrictions
that
we
can
take
advantage
of.
R
I'm
sure
that
I'm
not
sharing
with
you
anything
that
you
haven't
already
pursued
and
thought
of
it
just
struck
me
as
something
that
I
think
the
county
looks
into
a
little
bit
more
than
we
do,
but
they
have
that
behavioral,
health
and
and
and
and
this
could
be
something
that
we
could
do
collaboratively
while
we
provide
a
portion
of
that
funding,
they
provide
the
portion
of
the
funding
that
has
the
behavioral
health
connected
to
it,
because
I
know
that
we
we
have
some
limits
in
terms
of
of
being
able
to
do
that
and
operationalize
sites,
and
I
know
that's
very
expensive
to
do
on
an
ongoing
basis.
R
So
so
thank
you
so
much
for
the
information
that
you
brought
forward.
I
think
it
brings
a
lot
of
transparency
and
clarity
in
terms
of
what
work
we
want
to
support
and
commit
to,
and
so
I
really
appreciate
the
information,
rachel
and
jackie
that
you've
put
forward.
That's
that's
it
for
me.
Thank
you.

Thank
you.
Final
item
on
today's
agenda
is
8.4
the
approval
of
a
downtown
high-rise
residential
tax
fee
waiver,
carlyle
51
notre
dame
street
there's
a
presentation.
Welcome
jared
hi
nancy.
S
Good
evening,
mayor
and
council
jared
ferguson
housing
catalyst
with
the
office
of
economic
development.
The
current
high-rise
program
was
approved
by
the
city
council
in
2019,
following
receipt
of
an
analysis
that
demonstrated
a
typical
high-rise.
Residential
development
in
downtown
was
not
financially
feasible.
S
The
program
provides
for
a
50
reduction
in
the
two
primary
construction
taxes
and
a
deferral
of
payment
of
these
taxes
until
the
certificate
of
occupancy.
These
two
taxes
are
the
building
and
structure
tax
and
the
commercial
residential
mobile
home
park
tax.
S
The
program
also
includes
a
reduction
to
zero
dollars,
the
affordable
housing
impact
fee
or
the
inclusionary
housing
ordinance
in
luffy.
For
this
development,
the
a
f
reduction
applies.
The
project
must
obtain
a
certificate
of
occupancy
before
june
30
june
30th
2025.
In
order
to
qualify,
the
carlisle
is
a
21-story
mixed-use
tower
at
51
notre
dame
street.
It
contains
21
290
market
rate
unit
rental
units
and
over
7
000
square
feet
of
retail
space
on
the
ground
floor
and
over
120
000
square
feet
of
office.
Space.
S
S
So
estimated
one-time
revenue
to
the
city
for
these
two
for
the
next
two
slides
we've
included
estimates
for
county
and
school
district
revenue.
In
addition
to
the
city,
the
city
receives
construction
taxes,
parkland
fees
and
the
commercial
linkage
fee
in
this
project
and
the
school
district
receives
development
fees
for
the
commercial
and
residential.
S
The
total
city.
One-Time
revenue
is
a
little
over
7.6
million
and
the
total
one-time
revenue,
including
the
school
fee.
Development
fees,
is
a
little
over
8.5
million
and
then
estimated
recurring
annual
revenue
to
the
city
includes
property
tax,
the
city's
utility
user
tax,
the
city's
business
tax
and
sales
and
transaction
tax.
S
In
addition,
city
and
school
district
property
tax
as
well
are
estimated
here.
Total
recurring
revenue
to
the
city
is
568
000
and
the
total
recurring
revenue,
including
the
county
and
school
district
property
taxes,
is
estimated
just
over
two
million
dollars.
This
concludes
the
staff
presentation
that
developed
the
developer
dennis
randle
is
also
present
and
available
to
answer
any
questions.
E
Thanks
jade,
thank
you
for
that.
Supplemental
analysis
appreciate
that.
Thank
you,
nancy.
Let's
go
to
the
public.
A
Paul
soto,
paul
soto
from
the
horses.
That
means
no
in
spanish.
No,
no,
no,
no
and
here's
the
reasons
why
there's
three
car
garages
there.
I
asked
you
for
how
many
parking
spaces
there
are
okay,
one
of
the
criterion
to
meet
that
affordable
housing
threshold
qualification
for
that
tax
is
that
you
do
not
have
traffic
impacts.
This
report
says
that
it
doesn't
that's
number
one
number
two
is
the
fact
that
that
there's.
A
There
was
oh
yeah
that
one
of
the
reasons
why
it's
not
feasible
is
because
they
said
that
rents
are
at
pre-pandemic
levels,
that's
what
they
said,
and
that
is
it's
impossible
for
rents
right
now
to
still
be
at
pre-pandemic
levels,
they're
above
pre-pandemic
levels,
at
least,
I
would
say
at
least
20
percent.
A
Nathan,
walsh,
good
afternoon,
mayor
licardo
council
members,
nathan,
olsher
from
the
san
jose
downtown
association,
we'd
like
to
express
our
profound
gratitude
to
the
city
for
understanding
the
plight
developers
face
when
building
in
downtown.
As
you
know,
to
make
these
projects
financially
feasible
can
often
be
a
challenge,
and
so
these
waivers
are
what
make
a
pencil
out
and
ultimately
adds
density,
more
positive
activity,
downtown
such
as
this
mixed
use
project
before
you
tonight
providing
commercial
and
residential
units.
A
Moreover,
this
will
activate
the
adjacent
areas
as
well
connecting
the
fabric
that
of
little
italy,
san
pedro
square,
while
complementing
the
adjacent
high-rises.
We
commend
the
leadership
from
staff
and
council
to
thoughtfully
foresee
the
need
aid
development
in
our
beloved
downtown,
as
this
is
one
of
the
many
projects
that
builds
out
our
beautiful
downtown
skyline.
Thank
you
very
much.
Q
Yes,
I
agree
with
paul.
No,
and
the
thing
is:
is
that
what
he
was
talking
about
with
the
woods
it
three
stories
of
parking,
and
I
I
guess
it's
like
250
residents
and
500
cars
and
it
is
not
going
to
be
any
pollution
impact
yeah.
I
know
you
ignore
pollution,
that's
why
my
neighbors
are
dying
of
cancer
and
we
have
high
pollution
levels
and
our
city
and
county
has
an
f
in
air
quality,
and
you
know
you're
saying
you
know
and
to
put
those
downtown
where
it's
supposed
to
be
a
walkable
community.
Q
There
is,
we
should
have
no
car
infrastructure,
and
this
is
what
you're
doing
to
our
down
town
and
you're
doing
the
same
thing
with
the
sap
center.
You
have
to
make
sure
that
they
they
get
parking.
I
mean
this.
We
have
to
stop
driving
and
you're,
not
supporting
that.
As
a
you
know,
in
our
climate
emergency
you
need
to
start
making
changes
and
one
of
those
is
to
stop
driving,
and
so
this
this
design
is
poorly
thought
about
and
should
be
redis.
A
All
in
user,
two
better
believe
is
poorly
planned,
not
enough
parking.
Just
take
a
look
at
monterey.
Road
in
montecito
team,
san
jose
fail.
Nobody
wants
to
rent
it.
Why
there's
no
parking
right?
Everything
you
guys
build,
there's
no
park,
I
don't
care
what
tessa
says.
I
mean
she
has
a
good
heart
and
all,
but.
P
A
A
You
know
it,
but
you
keep
doing
it
because
you
think
you're
doing
it
right.
You're,
like
a
bunch
of
petulant
children.
You
guys
are
failures.
I'm
telling
you
it's
gonna,
it's
not
gonna
work.
When
you
keep
building
these
things
with
not
enough
parking,
it
doesn't
work,
you
know
it,
but
you
keep
doing
it
because
you're
failures,
you're
losers,
you
don't
you
don't
back
to
the
council.
A
P
Yeah,
thank
you
very
much
mayor
and
I
have
a
memo
on
this
item
as
I
have
brought
forward
with
all
of
our
high-rise
tax
and
fee
waivers,
and
the
recommendation
is
to
approve
the
high-rise
incentive
and
then
require
the
applicant
proof
of
receipt
that
they
shall
prove
receive,
that
they
receive
the
high-rise,
building,
best
practices
toolkit
and
then
number
two,
a
request
from
the
applicant
of
a
commitment
to
not
retain
the
services
of
any
contractor
or
subcontractors
found
by
the
judicial
system
or
by
final
administrative
action
of
an
investigatory
government
agency
that
have
a
history
of
wage
debt
violations
in
the
past
five
years
and
that
they'll
provide
an
affidavit
to
that
effect.
P
A
Well,
I
am
here,
I'm
not
sure
if
you
can
hear
me
right
now,
but
yes,
we
we,
we
did
speak
about
this
this
memo
and
we
don't
see
any
issue
with
it
whatsoever.
P
Great.
Thank
you
very
much
and
appreciate
you
being
here
with
that
I'll
make
a
motion
to
approve
my
middle
thanks.
L
E
Thank
you,
councilmember
counselor
mayhem,.
D
Thanks
mayor
and
thanks
councilman
pelos,
I
I
just
wanted
to
thank
staff
again,
for
I
know
the
merit.
Thank
you
for
the
additional
analysis.
I've
been
interested
in
this
analysis
and
mentioned
this
cd
in
the
past.
I
I
think,
looking
at
the
recurring
revenue
that
we
unlock
and
the
benefit
of
that
the
value
of
that
over
time
is
really
helpful.
When
we're
weighing
the
benefits
of
waiving
some
of
the
upfront
fees
and
nancy,
I
I
don't
want
to
spend
a
lot
of
time
on
this.
D
We
can
talk
more
offline,
but
I
was
just
curious
for
my
my
benefit
and
that
of
my
colleagues
when
you
look
at
the
recurring
revenue,
are
you
able
to
capture
or
estimate
any
of
the
spillover
effects
when
you
have
city
sales
tax,
for
example?
Does
that
include
the
people
going
out
to
patronize
local
businesses
in
the
downtown
core
once
they
become
residents
of
of
downtown.
B
This
analysis
that
jared
provided.
A
B
Q
Spending
that
would
occur
based
on
having
everyone
in
that.
A
Building
including
jobs
as
well
as
residents
would
be
in
addition
to
the
numbers
that
jared
provided
this
evening.
D
Okay,
great
so
worst
case,
most
conservative
analysis.
My
high
level
read
on
you're
on
what
you've
put
in
the
deck
here
is
that
in
in
less
than
eight
years,
the
recurring
revenue
to
the
city
has
more
than
made
up
for
what
we're
foregoing
to
get
the
building
in
the
ground.
In
addition,
we've
got
more
housing
and
in
addition,
on
top
of
that
which
we're
not
capturing
here,
we
have
a
bunch
of
other
ancillary
benefits
of
more
more
foot
traffic,
patronage
of
local
businesses
parking
when
friends
come
to
visit
on
and
on
and
on.
D
We
know,
there's
all
these
other
benefits
that
are
not
easy
to
capture
but
great,
because
I
know
we've
talked
about
this.
I've
brought
it
up
at
cd
and
I've
really
been
interested
in
that
question
of
yes,
we're
giving
something
up,
because
we
really
want
to
build
housing
in
our
urban
core.
We
also
have
all
these
other
benefits
and
what's
the
recurring
revenue,
and
I'm
glad
to
see
that
the
numbers
that
are
at
least
from
my
perspective,
look
look
pretty
good,
so
cool.
E
Thank
you.
I
want
to
thank
dennis
randle
for
his
investment.
You
know
this
is
no
small
risk
and
we
hope
he's
able
to
get
a
shovel
in
the
ground
and
get
it
built.
We
know
that's
been
super
challenging.
I
think
I've
seen
at
least
two
dozen.
Maybe
three
dozen
proposals
for
high
rises
make
it
into
the
news
one
way
or
another
with
beautiful
renderings,
but
it's
really
really
hard
to
get
these
built
to
get
them
financed.
That's
the
challenge,
so
I
appreciate
his
willingness
to
forge
ahead.
E
This
personal.
This
side
actually
has
some
personal
significance
to
me.
My
grandfather
ran
a
little
grocery
store
here
on
the
site
back
in
the
1940s
and
50s,
and
I
was
actually
reminded
about
it
when
I
was
knocking
on
doors
as
a
council
candidate,
and
someone
told
me
that
they
remembered
that
their
family-
it's
really
struggled
during
world
war
ii
and
just
after
that
and
and
my
grandfather
used
to
always
ensure
that
whatever
food
was
left
over
was
distributed
to
families
every
night,
so
they
appreciated
his
generosity
and
support.
D
Mayor
you
should
you
should
you
should
know
that,
when
we're
done
with
this
building,
we're
going
to
put
that
7-up
sign.
G
E
Side
of
the
yeah,
for
those
of
you
who
don't
know
the
7up
signs
is
that
parking
is
25
cents,
which
is
which
it
will
never
ever
be
again
in
the
downtown.
But
thank
you
dennis.
You
know
I.
I
really
appreciate
the
additional
analysis
that
jared
did
here
in
his
most
comprehensive
look,
we've
seen
it
and
I
hope
this
makes
it
into
future
reports.
This
approach.
E
You
know
I
I
know
every
time
we
we
grant
one
of
these
things
that
always
makes
the
news
and
you'll
never
see
reporter,
actually
talk
about
what
taxpayers
get
in
return
for
with
a
fee
waiver
and
and
just
be
clear.
4.4
million
dollar
is
the
total
value
of
the
fee
waiver,
just
in
one
time
dollars
alone:
8.5
million
dollars
for
the
city
in
schools.
E
The
city
gets
a
blind
share
of
that
and
then
the
ongoing,
which
was
already
discussed
in
addition
to
what
councilman
mahan
said,
the
two
million
dollars
on
going
city,
county
and
schools,
and
that
amount
increases
every
year
for
as
long
as
this
thing
is
in
existence
and
so
you've
taken
a
parking
lot
where
you're
getting
virtually
next
to
nothing
off
of
it.
You've
transformed
it
into
this
asset.
That's
creating
two
million
dollars.
That's
increasing
every
year
that
two
million
dollars,
especially
if
the
building
changes
hands
and
it
gets
reassessed
and
the
numbers
really
scale.
E
So
it's
it's
a
no-brainer
for
a
city
to
look
at
this
and
say:
look
if
we
can
make
something
happen
here:
it's
a
huge
benefit
for
taxpayers,
in
addition
to
all
the
other
benefits
of
the
downtown
vitality
and
so
forth.
So
I
think
it's
just
important
to
emphasize.
This
is
not
about
helping
developers.
This
is
about
helping
the
city
and
about
enabling
our
downtown
to
get
to
the
next
level,
because
these
things
just
aren't
going
to
get
built.
Otherwise
anybody
thank
you
counselor
across
for
your
memorandum
and
your
motion,
any
other
comments.

J
R
A
A
B
D
B
E
K
Yes,
so
I
opened
a
business
in
february
of
2021,
and
that
means
that
I
won't
be
filing
tax
returns
until
april
of
this
year
and
obviously
because
the
business
has
no
income.
You
know
I
applied
for
a
business
tax
exemption
and
I'm
being
told
that
it
takes
two
months
to
fill
out
these
exemptions,
which
seems
excessive.
But
that's
not
my
point.
K
K
It
asks
you
two
questions
when
it
wants
to
verify
the
renewal
it
asks
you
are,
you
are
you
required
to
file
taxes,
yes
or
no,
or
you
need
to
provide
us
with
tax
returns,
which
again,
you
know,
wouldn't
exist
until
a
couple
of
months
from
now,
depending
on
when
you
opened
the
business
last
year
and
the
staff
member,
I
think,
was
a
little
bit
snide
towards
me
and
I'm
sure
she's,
a
very
nice
person.
K
A
Let's
see
more
homeless
housing
more
marijuana,
what
are
you
guys
doing
down
there?
I
mean
this
is
an
amsterdam
I
mean.
What's
next,
we
have
women
in
windows.
In
the
downtown
I
mean
the
police
already
monitor
and
tax
these
massage
parlors
I
mean
they
know.
What's
going
on
in
there,
everybody
knows
what's
going
on
in
there
I
mean
you
guys,
think
it's
amsterdam
down
in
city
hall.
You
guys
should
be
a
chamber
yourself
pam.
You
want
to
open
up
more
dispensaries
in
district
9.,
how
about
filling
some
potholes
right?
A
How
about
making
the
traffic
lights
timed
correctly?
Dev?
What
about
you
your
park?
You
know
they
cleaned
up
some
of
the
graffiti,
but
it's
not
perfect
yet
so
what
you
know,
I'm
not
going
to
get
on
the
3-1-1
app.
You
guys
all
know
where
the
problems
are
get
it
done.
Go
in
your
district
figure
out
how
to
make
my
town
perfect,
because
if
you
guys
want
people
to
drive
perfect
whole
soda.
E
A
Q
Thank
you
yeah.
I
guess
the
issue
that
we're
facing
in
you
know
is
for
basic
basic
needs
and
that's
what
paul
is
crying
about
is
saying
that
we're
not
addressing
our
basic
needs
and,
as
we
go
into
our
crisis,
that
people
are
ignoring,
as
we
saw
in
the
movie,
don't
look
up
and
we
need
to
look
up
and
it's
happening
all
over
everything's
everything
is
is
falling
apart
and
you
know
my
husband
said
today:
it's
like
you
know
we
have
as
a
climate
scientist
biologist.
Q
It
will
be
better
if
we
stop
burning
fossil
fuels,
even
though
it's
going
to
be
very
hard
when
we
stop
burning
fossil
fuels,
but
we're
not
preparing
we're
not
doing
anything
and
we
talk
about
it
and
it
does
come
from
making
san
jose
a
garden
again
a
food
garden
again
and
to
keep
fossil
fuels
in
the
ground.
That
needs
to
be
the
platform
for
all
of
our
politicians
to
have
a
future
in
our
in.
