I'm
gonna
skip
item
3.1
we'll
come
right
back
to
it.
Let's
go
to
3.3
the
Seas,
the
covid-19
related
food
distribution,
expenditures,
audit
report,
Joe
and
team
are
here:
welcome
Joe.
D
The
covid-19
pandemic
created
an
unprecedented
demand
for
emergency
services
and,
at
the
start,
emergency
Santa
Clara
County,
requested
the
city
provide
food
Necessities
throughout
the
county.
The
city,
coordinated
network
of
food
providers
to
feed
vulnerable
to
County
residents
from
2020
into
2021,
and
the
city
has
continued
to
coordinate
food
services
within
City
Limits
throughout
the
emergency.
D
Before
the
pandemic,
the
city
had
limited
experience,
providing
food
service
Services.
Its
primary
experience
was
through
the
senior
nutrition
program,
which
provided
around
200
000
meals
per
year,
staff
estimated
that
the
city
needed
to
increase
the
number
of
weekly
Meals
by
1.3
million
to
meet
demand
from
the
pandemic.
D
D
The
administration,
division
of
parks,
recreation,
Neighborhood,
Services
or
prns
has
managed
the
city's
food
distribution
efforts,
since
it
was
transitioned
out
of
the
Emergency
Operations
Center
in
summer
of
2021.
The
city
has
also
created
a
finance
Recovery
Group
to
oversee
reporting
and
compliance
of
the
federal
and
state
grants
received
by
the
city
during
the
pandemic.
Objective
of
this
audit
must
repeat
the
transparency
and
accountability,
a
food
distribution
expenditures
during
the
pandemic.
D
An
additional
2.8
million
went
toward
Necessities
distribution
such
as
diapers,
and
about
a
half
million
dollars,
went
toward
other
expenses,
such
as
supplies
or
materials.
Overall,
from
the
start
of
the
pandemic,
through
June
of
2022,
the
city
spent
about
82.6
million
dollars
on
on
contracts
for
food
and
Necessities
distribution.
D
The
city
used
several
Federal
funding
sources,
including
the
corona
coronavirus,
relief
funds
or
CRF
American
Rescue
plan
act,
funds,
funds
from
the
Federal
Emergency
Management
agencies
and
the
city's
general
fund.
The
exhibit
on
the
screen
shows
the
flow
of
funds
from
these
sources
to
the
location
program
and
Target
populations
that
are
identified
in
the
different
contracts.
D
Overall,
the
city
contracted
with
20
vendors
for
food
distribution
contracts,
specified
Target
populations
within
the
city
and
county
most
affected
by
covid-19,
either
directly
or
or
indirectly,
and
based
on
a
goal
of
feeding
our
most
vulnerable
City
staff
focused
on
providing
food
to
Target
populations
that
are
medically
at
risk.
Seniors,
low-income
families,
people
in
temporary
shelters
and
families
experiencing
job
loss,
vendors
reported
their
meal
and
grocery
counts
to
the
city
and
based
on
available
data.
D
Our
second
finding
is
that
the
city
should
gather
additional
documentation
to
cooperate,
Service
delivery
and
support
the
city's
claims
to
federal
funds.
As
noted
the
city
use
various
Federal
funding
sources
for
food
distribution
services
and
each
of
the
sources
are
subject
to
review
by
federal
granting
agencies.
D
D
Committee
or
a
non-profit
Leadership
Council
receives
sole
source
contracts.
These
bodies
were
convened
to
assist
the
city's
food
distribution
efforts.
The
city
should
address
any
appearances
of
conflict
of
interest
by
documenting
such
decisions
around
vendor
selections
overall
to
help
ensure
the
city
met.
D
Requirements
for
its
various
funding
sources,
where
we
recommend
the
city
collect
additional
documentation
on
steps
taken
during
competitive
and
non-competitive
procurements.
We
also
noted
areas
where
the
city
should
gather
additional
documentation
on
Services
reported
by
vendors.
Although
the
city
received
invoices
and
performance
reports
from
vendors,
the
city
is
not
generally
corroborate.
Information
in
performance
reports
by
requesting
backup
documentation
such
as.
A
D
Forms
or
delivery
receipts
grants
management,
best
practices
recommend
maintaining
controls
for
contract
compliance,
including
procedures
to
ensure
the
reliability
of
third-party
information.
We
recommend
that
prns
coordination
with
the
finance,
Recovery
Group
collect
sample
documentation
to
verify
Service
delivery
and
reduce
the
potential
for
question
costs
from
Grant
agencies.
D
Our
last
finding
is
that
updating
emergency
guidance
can
prepare
the
city
for
future
emergencies.
The
Emergency
Operations
plan
or
EOP
outlines
the
city's
emergency
response
and
assigns
City
departments
with
roles
and
responsibilities
during
the
during
the
response
and
Recovery
phases
of
an
emergency.
D
D
The
op
does
not
offer
or
refer
to
guidance
on
monitoring
vendors
contract,
to
provide
services
to
Residents
affected
by
emergency,
and
we
should
note
that
contract
management
best
practices
should
apply
in
both
emergency
and
Non-Emergency
circumstances.
So
we
recommend
the
administration
include
a
reference
to
guidance,
support
and
contract
monitoring
Federal
for
Federal
grant
compliance
within
the
EOP.
This
will
help
ensure
resources
go
toward
intended
purposes
and
that
the
city
meets
Federal
requirements
for
managing
Grant
recipients
during
an
emergency.
D
Additionally,
we
recommend
that
prns
update
its
contract
monitoring
guidance
to
clarify
expectations
around
vendor
site
visits
and
service
validation.
This
update
should
include
matching
vendor
records
against
invoices
or
submitted
service
reports
to
corroborate
overall
reported
Service
delivery,
as
well
as
eligibility
of
population
served.
D
The
report
includes
five
recommendations:
we'd
like
to
thank
the
department
of
parks,
recreation,
Neighborhood,
Services,
the
finance
department,
the
office
of
emergency
management
and
the
city
attorney's
office
and
the
budget
office.
Ask
the
accept
report
and
I'll
turn
over
the
administration
for
their
response.
E
Thank
you,
Joe
Lee,
Wilcox
assistant
city
manager
and
one
of
the
directors
of
the
Emergency
Operations
Center
during
the
pandemic,
four
phases
of
Emergency
Management
mitigate
preparedness,
respond
and
Recovery
are
critical
so
that
we
have
an
all-comprehensive
approach
to
Emergency,
Management
and
I
want
to
thank
Joe
and
his
team,
because
reports
like
this
help
us
do
prepare
whether
it's
around
emergency
procurement
tools
in
the
future
or
putting
Tools
in
place
so
that
we
can
respond
more
accurately
and
quickly
in
the
future.
E
When
these
things
arise
in
February
of
2020,
the
city
did
start
meeting
with
the
county
about
the
pandemic,
the
the
pandemic
and
the
possible
shelter
in
place.
We
also
started
hearing
from
a
number
of
our
grocery
stores.
Those
calls
started
quickly
with.
Can
you
remove
our
emergency,
or
can
we
have
an
emergency
ordinance
to
allow
food
delivery
to
our
stores
after
midnight,
for
some
of
our
stores
they're
not
allowed
to
do
that
being
concerned
with
supply
chain?
E
Those
calls
quickly
escalated
to
calls
to
bring
a
National
Guard
to
protect
some
of
the
grocery
stores
around
food
and
security.
At
the
same
time,
Dr
Drew
starboard
at
Santa,
Santa
Clara
University,
stated
that
food
insecurity
would
increase
300
percent
at
the
peak
of
the
pandemic,
based
off
of
modeling
and
forecasting.
E
When
you
look
at
the
10
largest
cities
in
the
U.S,
our
death
rate
amongst
them
is
the
lowest
while
2486
is
far
too
many.
If
we
compare
ourselves
to
cities
around
us
on
that
list,
such
as
Phoenix
Philadelphia
Houston,
this
number
would
be
much
closer
to
twelve
thousand,
while
a
number
of
factors
do
go
into
this.
E
So
we'll
take
this
audit
and
begin
to
prepare
for
what's
next
ahead
of
us,
but
I
do
want
to
thank
City
staff,
the
mayor
and
Council
for
their
trust,
as
well
as

Thank
you.
B
All
right,
let's
go
back
to
council.
Let
me
just
say
an
echo,
a
very
big
thank
you
to
the
entire
city
team.
It
worked
so
hard
on
food
distribution.
I
know,
I
saw
Dolan
earlier,
and
many
people
in
this
room
Lee
and
everybody
worked
so
hard
at
Neil.
Thank
you
for
all
the
the
very
quick
response
that
rapidly
scaled
and
I
recall
it
being
more
than
two
million
meals
a
week.
Is
that
right.
B
Okay,
so
I
was
just
trying
to
reconcile
that
the
1.3
million,
but
anyway
that's
whatever
it
was.
It
was
a
lot
of
meals.
It
was
a
lot
of
people
who
we
helped.
So
thank
you
for
for
all
the
great
work.
I
I
had
one
question
Joe,
and
it
was
really
about
the
nature
of
this
audit.
When,
when
I
saw
this
on
the
work
plan,
I
assumed
this
would
be
a
performance.
Audit
it'd
be
an
audit
to
try
to
understand
how
do
we
do
right?
B
We
just
spent
80
plus
million
89
I,
guess
on
on
this
effort
to
try
to
help
keep
people
fed
and
I
was
I
was
hoping.
What
we
see
is
hey
here's,
how
we
responded.
We
did
this
well,
we
really
served
these
particularly
needy
neighborhoods.
D
So
that's
a
great
question
so
originally
on
our
work
plan,
it
was
a
to
be
determined
scope
as
the
it
was
coveted,
related
expenditures
with
the
scope
to
be
determined,
I
believe
it
was
the
fall
of
2021.
There
was
Council
direction
or
request,
and
it
was
adopted
by
Council
to
focus
on
food
distribution.
There
was
a
memo
from
Council,
Members,
Esparza
and
Arenas,
which
asked
us
to
look
at
the
transparency
and
accountability
of
expenditures
with
to
start
with
the
food
distribution
work,
and
so
that
was
the
focus.
D
So
we
tried
to
scope
the
work
such
that
one
bucket
of
of
work
was
around
the
transparency
which
you
know:
where
did
the
money
go?
Who
got
the
money
and
who
was
served?
And
so
that
was
the
basically
the
first
finding
around
kind
of
that
82.6
million
or
the
79.3
million
dollars
just
trying
to
show
kind
of
the
flow
of
funds
from
the
different
sources
all
the
way
through
to
who
received
them
on
the
accountability
piece,
we
were
really
looking
at
a
couple
pieces.
D
One
of
them
was
really
are
we
were
we
holding
the
contractors
to
the
services
that
they
promised
in
the
contracts,
and
it
came
clearly
early
on
that
some
of
the
controls
weren't
as
strong
as
we
wish
they
were,
and
so
that's
why
we
focused
on
the
finding
too
looking
at
it,
makes
making
sure
that
those
procurement
rules
and
all
that
documentation
around
procurement
were
solid
because
there
was
a
big
risk
with
because
we're
using
federal
dollars
and
then
on
the
on.
D
So
that's
the
first
piece
and
the
other
pieces
are
on
monitoring
again
just
making
sure
from
an
accountability
standpoint
we
were
getting
what
we
were
Contracting
for,
so
that
was
the
focus.
The
direction
from
Council
is
really
to
look
at
the
transparency,
accountability
and
that's
how
we
scoped
it
to
address
those
two
two
pieces:
okay,.
B
I
and
I
appreciate
how
you
got
there.
B
Was
there
I
know
it's
not
reflected
in
this
audit,
but
is
your
team
able
to
discern
anything
about,
for
example,
whether
there's
a
significant
amount
of
food
waste
or
whether
there
were
better
ways
for
us
to
be
deploying
was
that
was
that
at
all,
within
the
scope
of
any
study,
I
know
it's
not
expressly
laid
out
in
the
audit,
but.
D
Is
that
again,
so
thanks
for
the
question,
we
didn't
specifically
try
to
look
at
alternative
means
of
delivering
services.
This
was
again
if
I
go
back
to
the
beginning.
This
was
a
new
line
of
work
for
the
city
and
where
our
understanding
of
really
relying
on
on
the
partners,
whether
it's
a
second
harvest
or
the
other
partners
to
kind
of
building
out
their
exist
or
using
their
existing
services
and
then
setting
up
food
distribution
networks,
we
didn't
go
too
far
into.
Could
we
have
done
it
better
in.
E
D
Respect
part
of
it
was
one
one
reason
for
that
was
is
this
is
not
a
line
of
business
that
I
that
I
expect
the
city
continue
on
so
I'm,
not
sure
exactly
where
what
what
the
benefit
of
those
recommendations
were
down
down
the
road
but
again
to
trying
to
Circle
back
with
those
original
questions
we
had
from
the
council
members
about
transparency
and
accountability.
Okay,.
B
G
Thank
you.
Thank
you,
mayor
and
and
I
actually
appreciate
mayor
the
distinction
between
a
financial
audit
and
a
performance
audit
and
I.
You
know,
I,
you
were
going
in
the
direction
of
being
interested
in
getting
some
performance
feedback
and
I
think
that
that
it
makes
a
lot
of
sense.
So
I
I
had
a
couple
of
questions
and
one
is
have
we
reconciled
our
with
the
county.
G
H
Thank
you
for
the
question
Assistant
Director
of
Finance
for
the
city.
We
are
still
having
discussions
with
the
assistance
of
Cal
OES,
which
is
the
California
office
of
emergency
services,
FEMA
and
the
county
to
sit
down
and
figure
out
who
pays
for
what
and
who
applies
for
what?
And
the
purpose
is
really
just
to
make
sure
that
both
the
county
and
the
city
realize
that
the
maximum
amount
that
they
can
from
the
sources
from
the
funding
sources
that
they
can.
So
we
are
still
in
discussion
closing
those
out.
G
G
H
We
that
would
be
part
of
it,
so
we
are
continuing
to
have
that
effort.
I
would
like
to
call
out
Alice
borick
of
her
team,
who
is
the
grants,
recovery,
team
and
finance
team?
That's
doing
all
that
work
along
with
their
partners
and
prns
and
other
City
organizations
that
are
providing
supporting
documentation.
It
is
a
onerous
effort.
It
is
a
lot
of
documentation.
It
is
a
lot
of
review,
but
we
are
that
is
ongoing
and
we'll
be
going
on
for
quite
a
while.
G
Okay,
and
and
do
we
know
how
much
we're
negotiating
with
the
county
to
be
made
whole
or
who
can
get
reimbursed
from
what.
H
We
have
a
number
of
funding
sources
and
for
this
particular
food
distribution
effort,
we
have
a
little
bit
of
cdbg.
We
have
a
little
bit
of
arpa
money,
we
have
a
little
bit
of
CRF
and
so
we're
actually
just
looking
at
it
as
a
pool
of
money
from
different
organizations
and
grantors
to
both
the
county
and
the
city
and
we're
just
trying
to
see
where
we
can
do
the
best
that
we
can.
H
We
are
continuing
to
do
adjustments
even
on
a
monthly
basis
ongoing,
as
we
identify
costs
that
we
can
pick
up
either
through
looking
at
CRF
and
sort
of
moving
monies
around
and
or
using
arpa
money
or
using
other
funds.
So
it
is.
It
is
frankly,
a
bit
of
a
puzzle
that
we're
putting
together
because
and
all
the
puzzle
pieces
are
grants
from
a
large
variety
of
of
sources
and
for
the
county
and
the
City.
So
it
is.
It
is
not
a
small
effort.
G
No
I
I
can
imagine
I
I,
so
I
guess
what
I'm
trying
to
get
at
is
the
county
couldn't
make
us
whole
with
their
funds
and
then
they
can
determine
on
their
end,
what
could
be
reimbursable
by
FEMA
or
arpa
or
whatever
they
can't
make
us
whole.
We
have
to
still
negotiate
with
the
county
in
terms
of
who
is
going
to
get
reimbursed
for
what
at
each
funding
source.
Is
that
correct?
It's.
C
G
C
G
I,
that's
a
very
interesting
to
me
and
I
hope.
You
know
you
know.
G
I
will
go
back,
I
mean
it's
I
remember
when
we
were
sitting
in
the
wing
and
we
had
a
presentation
and
one
of
those
aspects
of
the
presentation
was
food
and
I
believe
the
county
had
asked
us
to
do
food
distribution
and-
and
so
there
wasn't
a
lot
of
clarity
at
the
beginning,
which
is
how
we
got
here,
but
I
I
really
want
to
acknowledge
the
fact
that
everyone
jumped
in
to
keep
people
alive
and
and
I
know
that
this
is
onerous
and
I
wish.
G
We
had
been
able
to
negotiate
some
of
this
stuff
at
the
front
end,
but
this
was
incredible:
amazing,
literally
life-saving
work
that
was
happening
all
over
the
city.
You
know,
and
people
were
just
figuring
it
out
and
and
so
I
really
would
like
to
thank
even
I
know
this
is
an
audit.
G
I
know
this
is
the
financial
part
but
I'd
like
to
thank
everyone
at
prns
and
public
works
and
Dot
who
who
acted
quickly
to
to
stand
these
food
distributions
up,
and
then
here
we
are
all
this
time
later
and
and
you're
trying
to
sort
this
out
and,
as
you
mentioned,
we'll
be
continuing
to
sort
this
out
and
I
just
want
to
say.
Thank
you.
This
is
a
lot
to
figure
out,
but
this
was
incredible.
It
was
incredible,
so
thank
you
and
I
had
one
more
question.
G
As
we
move
forward,
there
have
been
discussions
about
food
distribution
in
the
future,
because
the
need
there's
been
incredible:
inequities
that
have
grown
and
been
exacerbated
by
covid.
How
does
this?
How
do
these
recommendations
play
into
decision
making
about
the
future
regarding
food
distribution.
I
Council
member,
this
is
Neil
Ruffino
assistant,
director
of
Park
and
Rec
and
I
can
take
that
question.
You
know
I,
think
in
terms
of
the
audit
itself
and
the
recommendations
that
we're
receiving
definitely
agree
with.
All
of
them.
I
I
think
the
work
in
terms
of
how
we
are
ensuring
that
we're
going
to
monitor
and
track
the
recommendations
or
the
the
the
restrictions
within
a
Federal
grant
is
super
important
for
us
and
that's
something
that
we're
going
to
be
carrying
forward
in
terms
of
any
kind
of
future
work,
not
only
in
food
distribution
but
in
general
EOC,
Emergency,
Operations
management
that
we're
going
to
go
forward
with
I.
I
Think
in
general,
though,
what
we're
learning
about
with
food
necessity
and
the
need
is,
you
know,
we're
we're
a
large
city,
there's
still
a
continuous
need
of
of
food
and
nutrition
for
many
residents
in
the
city.
What
we
have
now
is
we
have
contracts
that
are
existing
through
December
31st,
we're
going
to
continue
to
manage
the
contracts
with
our
partners
to
see,
if
there's
any
money
that
can
carry
over
through
the
springtime,
because
our
food
providers
have
identified
that
the
food
need
really
hasn't
gone
away.
I
It
was
here
before
covet,
covid
really
showed
it
in
front
of
us,
and
it's
still
there
I
think.
So.
The
challenge
of
what
we're
trying
to
do
in
working
in
partnership
with
the
county
is
exactly
what
you
mentioned.
What
we?
I
What
are
we
going
to
be
doing
in
the
future
on
this,
because
we
have
a
lot
of
families
in
need
and
as
a
city
and
as
a
county,
there
are
a
lot
of
priorities
on
our
resources,
so
we
need
to
look
collectively
at
how
we
can
do
this
in
the
future,
but
I
I
think
where
we
are
now
is.
As
you
mentioned,
we
stood
up
really
fast.
We
took
on
what
we
could
to.
G
We
had
an
emergency
Management
Consultant
firm,
that
was
advising
us
regarding
FEMA
reimbursements,
including
giving
some
guidance
towards
the
food
distribution.
Reimbursements,
I
didn't
see,
sort
of
anything
referring
to
the
guidance
that
that
firm
had
been
given
that
had
given
us
I'm
sorry,
any
guidance
that
that
firm
had
given
us,
it
kind
of
feels
like
we
were
left
to
figure
it
out
on
our
own
regardless.
Even
though
we
had
a
firm
That
was
supposed
to
be
giving
us
a
little
bit
of
guidance
on
this.
Is
that
correct.
D
So
this
is
Joe,
so
the
city's
contract
with
Ernst
young,
to
provide
help
in
that
area
in
terms
of
managing,
in
particular,
first
of
all
the
FEMA
reimbursements
I
kind
of
jumped
in
front
of
loose,
we
can
speak
to
it
a
little
bit
more
about
what
the
details
on
that
is.
H
H
They
require
a
lot
of
documentation,
they
require
justification
for
soul
sorts
purchasing
and
they
require
descriptions
of
how
you
took
what
why
you
took
that
particular
action
at
that
particular
time,
and
if
everybody
can
remember
those
times
are
fairly
a
little
desperate
and
so
a
lot
of
stuff
is
being
done
quickly
and
Ernst
young
has
done
a
remarkable
job
in
helping
us
sort
of
clean
up
the
the
past
actions
and
providing
us
guidance
for
the
future
as
well.
G
Okay,
awesome
that
is
really
great
to
hear
and
I
thought
I
had
one
more
thing:
I,
I'm,
I'm,
okay,
I
I,
just
again
really
want
to.
Thank
you
all.
It's
it's
hard
to
remember,
remember
how
desperate
those
times
were.
I
remember
going
out
to
a
lot
of
food
distributions
in
my
district
throughout
the
pandemic
and
I.
G
Remember,
especially
in
one
location,
it
was
a
drive-through
site
off
of
Central
Road
at
the
county
building,
and
so
people
were
driving
in
and
you
know
week
after
week,
I
recognize
folks
and
and
people
were
kind
of
nurturing
a
tank
of
gas
because
they
didn't
have
money
to
fill
that
tank
of
gas
and
they
were
babying
it
and
seeing
how
far
that
could
go,
because
that
meant
that
they
could
go
drive
and
get
food.
So
these
were
really
desperate
times
and
thank
you,
everybody
who
made
this
happen.
G
I
think
that
this
is
one
of
one
of
many
untold
stories
at
the
city,
because
this
was
an
enormous,
enormous
effort.
That's
it
for
me.
Thank
you.
B
Thank
you
just
to
put
an
exclamation
point
on
that:
six
and
a
half
million
meals,
13.8
million
pounds
of
groceries.
Actually,
that
must
be
a
mistype,
a
typo.
It's
not
6.5
million
I
think
it's
and
they
have
miswritten
that.
H
B
B
Okay,
yeah
I
mean
I
was
just
trying
to
do
the
back
of
the
envelope
and
I
understand
we're
talking
about
apples
and
oranges
here,
but
you
know
hey
what
would
happen
if
we
just
took
see
the
food
Portion
was
79.3
Million.
If
we
just
distributed
that
in
money
and
said
to
everybody,
okay,
here's
money
go
buy
and
it
sounds
like
we
would
not
be
getting
the
same
value
in
terms
of
providing
food
to
people
because
I'm
guessing
enough.
A
lot
of
this
was
donated
through
Second,
Harvest
and
others.
Is
that
fair
to
say.
I
Can
take
that
one
joke
yeah
definitely
majority
of
the
food
was
provided
through
Second
Harvest
and
even
with
some
of
our
non-profits
who
ended
up
cooking
food
was
also
in
support
from
Second
Harvest
as
well.
B
Right,
yeah
I
was
just
trying
to
figure
out
if
this.
If
we
had
this
disaster
again,
would
we
just
be
handing
out
money
and
it
sounds
like
the
answer
is
probably
no
that
this
is
the
best
way
to
do
it,
because
we
could
get
a
lot
of
donated
food
this
way
and
and
volunteer
energy
to
to
distribute
it.
Is
that
fair
to
say,
yeah
I
think
I
would
agree
with
that
point:
okay!
Well,
thank
you
and
I
didn't
think
loose
and
I
should
have.
Thank
you
loose
for
I
know.
B
You
were
managing
this
and
many
other
sets
of
contracts
that
were
out
there
to
a
very,
very
challenging
moment.
So
thank
you
for
all
that.
You
and
your
team
have
done
all
right.
I
think
those
are
all
the
questions
I
see
from
the
council.
We
have
a
motion.
B
A
B
A
second
now
from
councilmember
Cohen,
let's
go
to
the
public.
K
To
better
understand
or
talk
about
this
issue,
but
it
sounds
really
interesting
for
a
for
a
city
council
public
meeting
agenda.
Thank
you
very
much
for
its
item.
Hopefully
thank
you.
Okay,.
B
I
I
just
have
one
very
quick
question
loose
the
business
tax
amnesty.
There
are
four
criteria
about
eligibility
for
accounts
that
are
eligible
for
the
program.
The
last
one
is
that
the
debtors
account
does
not
include
outstanding
amounts
owed
for
unpaid
taxes
or
permits,
and
that
struck
me
because
I
was
thinking
well
gosh.
A
lot
of
these
businesses
aren't
just
struggling
to
pay
their
business
license.
Fee
they're
also,
obviously
going
to
struggle
to
have
on
other
unpaid
bills,
including
other
permits
or
taxes.
B
H
Thank
you
for
the
question.
This
is
not
a
business
tax,
amnesty
program.
This
is
again
accounts,
receivable,
amnesty
program
and
so
the
diff.
The
difference
between
this
is.
We
have
already
had
a
business
tax,
dominicity
program
that
was
worked
fairly
well
and
we
expanded
that
during
covet
19..
This
goes
for
another
population
of
accounts
that
we
have
in
our
accounts
receivable
system.
So
a
lot
of
these
are
res.
H
Most
of
these
are
residents,
and
so
they'll
have
a
fee
by
things
like
blight
fines
or
they
haven't
paid
their
tree
maintenance
or
they
haven't
because
their
sidewalk,
and
so
these
are
fines
that
are
based
on
the
city,
went
in
provided
some
services,
and
now
the
city
is,
is
attempting
to
reimburse
it
to
get
that
money
back
for
providing
those
services.
So
we
don't
expect
a
lot
of
that
overlap.
I
have
you've,
made
an
excellent
point
and
I'm
sure
that
we'll
run
into
that
we'll
see
how
that
works.
Okay,.
L
H
B
Thank
you
all
right.
Let's
vote
on
the
motion.
Unless
there
are
other
questions,
councilman
resparza.
G
I
just
wanted
to
say
thank
you.
Thank
you
for
making
this
work
and
I
look
forward
to
seeing
the
results
of
the
pilot.
Did
we
already
make
a
motion?
Did
I.
C
M
N
C
C
O
Yes,
posted
from
the
Horseshoe
this
kind
of
I'm
reading
the
document,
and
it's
like
the
city
keeps
trying
to
like
practice.
This
full
sense
of
social
and
ethical
responsibility
and
I
mean
establish
a
minimum
500
feet
distance
buffer
book.
What
I'm
not
making
700
feet?
Why?
O
Why
is
it
500
feet
or
establish
a
thousand
foot
distance
buffer,
measured
as
a
path
of
travel
from
the
public
entrance
business
to
the
public
entrance
of
a
school
or
daycare
or
Youth
Center
I
mean
you
guys
are
going
to
go
ahead
and
allow
dope
to
be
sold
because
that's
what
it
is
drug,
okay,
so
either
you're
gonna
go
ahead
and
just
accept
the
fact
that
you're
going
to
be
built,
pushers,
you're
just
going
to
tax
it?
That's
all!
That's
all
you're
going
to
do
you're
just
going
to
be
taxing
the
dope.
O
Okay,
with
this
full
sense
of
social
responsibility
and
ethical
and
moral
responsibility
that,
oh,
you
really
care
about
children.
You
really
care
about
children.
Okay,
you
really
care
about
schools
quit
gentrifying
their
parents.
That's
what
you
need
to
stop
doing
quit
gentrifying
the
parents
so
that
they
no
longer
have
to
consider
how
to
protect
their
children
you're
not
in
the
business
of
protecting
children.
That's
the
parent's
responsibility,
so
just
go
ahead
and
accept
the
fact
that
your
dope
pushes
you're
just
taxing
it.
That's
all
thanks.
C
K
Hi
Claire
excuse
me
Blair
Beekman,
here
I
just
wanted
to
quickly
offer
I
misinterpreted
the
term
and
the
use
of
the
term
amnesty
in
the
previous
item.
I'm.
Sorry
about
that.
Thanks
for
explaining
the
item,
as
you
talked
about
it,
sorry
for
any
troubles.
Thank
you.
F
Yes,
so
I
just
wanted
to
call
the
council's
attention
to
the
early
consideration
response
form
to
this,
which
basically
says
that
this
is
a
yellow
item
for
us.
So,
however,
we
may
be
able
to
create
some
capacity
with
some
an
item.
That's
going
to
rules
I
think
tomorrow
and
which
would
allow
us
to
get
to
to
do
this
work
before
the
end
of
the
calendar
or
the
end
of
the
fiscal
year.
So
I
just
wanted
to
is
that
correct?
B
And
I'll
offer
a
self-serving
note
that
it's
a
memorandum
that
I
signed
with
several
colleagues
that,
if
approved
at
the
rules
committee,
it
would
have
to
go
to
the
council
too
or
to
get
no
just.
If.
B
E
P
F
Will
allow
us
to
get
to
this
cannabis
work
that
has
that
was
presented
by
vice
mayor
Jones,
council
members,
parole,
it's
Carrasco
and
Foley.
Okay,.
H
Q
Whatever,
whatever
right,
whatever,
we
can
do
to
move
these
forward
well,
this
is,
you
know,
we're
back.
We
were.
We
were
here
what
I
think
in
June,
and
we
thought
we
had
passed
an
ordinance
that
was
really
going
to
do
what
we
would
hope
it
would
do
which
is,
namely,
move
Son
of
the
some
of
the
cannabis
dispensaries
out
of
a
heavily
impacted
area
of
District
Seven
and
move
them
into
other
parts
of
the
dis
of
the
city.
Q
Unfortunately,
it
didn't
turn
out
that
way
as
the
Cannabis
businesses
started
to
research,
where
they
could
go,
they
found
that
there
were
a
lot
of
prohibitions
on
where
they
could
be
and
not
just
related
to
our
ordinance.
Q
So
the
purpose
of
our
memo
and
I
want
to
thank
the
vice
mayor,
councilmember,
paralus
and
council
member
Carrasco
for
co-authoring
the
initial
memo
that
went
to
rules
and
then
was
yellow
lit,
and
hopefully
we
can
get
it
to
move
forward
and
get
it
over
the
get
it
completed
and
have
the
ordinance
submitted
by
the
end
of
the
fiscal
year.
So
with
that,
I
will
move
my
memo
and
the
staff
recommendation.
R
Thank
you,
mayor
I,
have
a
question
about
the
the
50-foot
we're
taking
that
out
of
the
ordinance
in
order
to
potentially
have
a
cluster
of
cannabis
shops
in
in
one
area,
which
is
what
I'm
thinking
that
that
will
happen
and
This
concerns
me
only
because
I
think
that
there's
going
to
be
more
possibility
for
the
larger
cannabis
companies
to
move
next
to
smaller
ones
and
and
potentially
absorb
them,
and
so
I'm
wondering
if,
if
staff
has
looked
at
that
possibility,
if
nobody's
found
a
better
spot
and
potentially
because
of
some
of
these
restrictions.
R
B
I
think
Chris
is
coming
down
to
answer
the
question.
Councilmember
thank.
D
M
Thank
you,
councilmember
Chris
Burton,
director
of
planning,
building
code
enforcement,
I'm
joined
by
Martina
Davis
division
manager
for
Citywide
planning,
so
I'm
going
to
hand
it
to
Martina
in
a
second.
My
understanding
is:
we've
not
looked
directly
at
the
issue
of
competition
with
relation
to
proximity.
M
M
Foreign,
we
can
certainly
take
a
look
at
it
as
we
bring
back
the
ordinance
just
to
see
what
potential
impact
may
be
there,
and
if
there
are
a
means
by
which
we
could
counter
those.
R
Yes,
I
mean
when
we
look
at
equity
and
we
think
about
the
smaller
businesses
I'm
thinking
about
how
about
how
some
of
those
smaller
businesses,
Will,
Survive
and
then
and
then
potentially
some
of
the
larger
businesses
will
continue
to
dominate
this
industry
and
and
really
impact
smaller
ones.
R
I
I
don't
see
us
doing
that
with
with
other
look
businesses
like
a
liquor
store,
we
don't
allow
them
well,
we
we
try
to
really
nowadays
prevent
them
from
over
concentrating
in
certain
areas.
So
I
guess
I'm
not
really
sure
that,
with
this
with
this
change
that
we're
really
going
to
encourage
folks
to
find
other
places,
what
was
the
number
one
reason
that
people
that
the
businesses
stated
that
why
they
weren't
moving.
S
S
You
know
a
lot
of
times,
they'll
find
a
location,
and
there
is
one
of
those
sensitive
receptors
near
it.
We
are
finding
a
frankly
surprising
number
of
daycare
facilities
actually
do
exist
in
our
in
our
city,
so
like
there's,
one
location
that
it
looked
like
it
was
compliant
and
it
was
10
10
feet
too
close
to
a
dare
Care
Center.
S
S
So
what
they've
shared
with
me
is
that
it
just
that,
on
its
start,
just
shrinks
the
candidate
pool
of
eligible
sites,
so
they're
in
practice,
looking
at
actually
a
lot
fewer
sites
than
would
be,
zoning
compliant
or
actually
willing
or
able
to
lease
to
them
and
then
they're.
Finding
sensitive
receptors
nearby.
R
You
know
it's
interesting
that
daycare
is
or
Child
Care
is
one
of
the
main
reasons
that
they
cite
because
the
county,
when
we
did
a
child
well-being
joint
meeting
their
biggest
concern,
was
the
the
loss
of
almost
half
of
our
child
care
providers
in
the
city
and
and
their
focus
was
to
actually
develop
Workforce
so
that
they
could
not
only
create
more
child
care
slots,
but
to
get
ready
for
preschool
for
all.
R
S
Yeah
I
know
we
we
actually
are
looking
to
ensure
that
that
business
is
still
in
operation
today.
So
we'll
look
at
license,
you
know,
is
there
license
active
all
the
way
to
actually
yeah
going
out
there
and
saying?
Are
they
in
operation
giving
them
a
call
see
if
someone
picks
up
the
phone
and
lets
us
know
that
yeah
we're
still
in
business,
so
I
I'll,
be
honest.
S
I
was
surprised
as
well
on
how
many
that
there
were
out
there,
given
these
issues
around
around
concern
of
the
lack
of
them
that
you
know,
I
think.
Another
thing
is
that
these
businesses
are
looking
in
in
commercial
corridors,
and
so
really
it
kind
of
only
takes
one
to
wipe
out
a
big
section
of
a
commercial
Corridor.
S
R
Yeah
it
you
know,
I
guess
it
doesn't
add
up
for
me
in
terms
of
what
I've
been
hearing
and
we've
had
two
child
well-being,
joint
meetings
with
the
county
and
their
biggest
concern
is
the
lack
of
child
care
providers
and
the
loss
of
child
care
providers
and-
and
then
here
we're
in
within
this
conversation,
we're
saying
they're,
one
of
the
biggest
reasons
why
we
are
not.
You
know,
they're
a
sensitive
receptor
and
we
certainly
can't
allow
our
Cannabis
shops
to
to
set
themselves
up
in
those
areas.
R
I,
I
guess
I
would
like
to
see
a
map
that
actually
has
more
of
that
that
information
and
on
the
sensitive
receptors,
so
that
we
can
actually
see
visually
what?
What
we're
talking
about
and
confirm
those
those
sensitive
receptors,
because
you
know
those
businesses
might
have
have
shut
down
in
recent
in
recent
months-
is
that
something
that
you'll
be
able
to
do
as
we
move
along.
R
It
would
be
great
to
to
see
if
maybe
we
can
connect
you
to
the
county
and
the
the
folks
who
are
actually
really
keeping
track
of
the
child
care
providers
so
that
we
can
get
the
same
information
that
the
county
is
working
off
of
as
well.
R
Well,
that's
those
were
my
questions.
I
just
wasn't
sure
why
we
were
hoping
to
encourage
more
of
of
the
Cannabis
stores
to
be
in
an
area.
Is
that
something
that
we're
hoping
to
do
that?
You
know
they
kind
of
establish
themselves
and
in
a
certain
area
of
town
which
is
kind
of
what
we
were
trying
to
not
do
in
District
Seven.
So
how
are
we
not
going
to
create
the
same
issue
in
other
areas
of
San
Jose.
M
So,
council,
member
I,
think
the
approach
that
came
from
the
original
Council
Direction
was
to
actually
look
at
expanded
areas,
so
a
more
diverse
subset
of
the
city
and
different
types
of
property
to
avoid
that
Focus,
because
we
have
such
a
limit
on
Industrial
lands
and
that's
why
we
saw
that
concentration
in
D7.
So
in
allowing
this
into
newer
commercial
areas
that
had
not
been
previously
considered.
We're
expecting
that
sort
of
that
greater
distribution
across
the
city.
R
I'm
just
concerned
that
we
might
create
the
same
issue
that
I
council
member
Esparza
has
and
and
and
as
she
should
be,
you
know
speaking
of
on
behalf
of
her
community,
that
is
concerning
there's
too
many
in
one
particular
area.
So
if
we
take
away
that
restriction,
it
may
encourage
folks
to
set
up
shop,
and
you
know
one
block
one
stretch
a
block
or
I
mean
I,
don't
know
what
the
purpose
is.
What
what?
What's
the
purpose
around?
Eliminating
that
50
foot
limit.
Q
Yeah,
the
I
just
want
to
remind
everybody
that
when
we
approve
this
ordinance
in
June,
it
was
to
expand
the
number
of
licenses
that
we
currently
had
from
16
to
32
to
the
current
providers.
Current
cannabis
business
providers,
we
did
add
in
I,
think
Martina,
correct
me
or
Chris,
two
or
three
for
Equity
businesses
as
well.
Q
The
reality
is
that
only
a
few
Parcels
were
identified
as
available,
and
maybe
only
one
or
two
because
of
a
lot
of
different
factors,
not
just
our
receptors,
but
the
factors
of
maybe
there's
a
Federal
Loan
that
the
Federal
Bank,
who
has
the
loan
on
the
property,
would
be
would
prohibit
that
sort
of
thing.
But
the
reason
to
remove
the
the
50
feet
is
that
it's
really
not
necessary.
It's
there's
two
it.
Q
It
is
potential
that
two
businesses,
two
dispensaries,
could
operate
side
by
side,
but
we
also
have
grocery
stores
that
Opera
operate
side
by
side.
Restaurants
that
operate
side
by
side,
so
I
don't
see
that
as
a
negative,
the
bigger
neg,
the
bigger
difficulty
is
for
these
sites,
businesses
to
actually
find
a
site
that
meets
all
the
criteria
for
them.
Q
There
is
a
large
threshold
for
opening
these
businesses,
it's
very
expensive,
and
so
the
ones
who
are
going
to
do
it
expand
are
the
existing
businesses
that
that
we've
heard
from
and
and
we've
heard,
that,
the
original
receptors
we
have
aren't
adequate
and
really
don't
conform
to
some
of
the
restrictions
that
the
state
has.
The
state
has
different
rules
for
the
setback
requirements,
and
so
that's
what
we're
looking
to
accommodate
somewhat
is
the
state
guidelines
in
and
Implement
some
of
our
own.
R
R
We
don't
cluster
liquor
stores,
we
actually
prevent
liquor,
store
lines
or
liquor
licenses
in
particular
areas,
because
we
don't
want
an
over
concentration
and
so
I
think
that
I,
you
know
we
need
to
continue
to
take
a
look
at
those
sensitive
receptors
to
to
make
sure
that
we're
making
the
right
decision
based
on
the
information,
the
data
that
we
have
and
I
think
we're
doing.
The
reverse
in
this
particular
situation,
I've.
E
R
R
It
really
isn't
about
that,
and
I've
I
think
I've
shared
how
how
my
father
would
have
probably
benefited
from
from
having
that
in
his
last
years
of
his
life
and
so
I'm
not
trying
to
discourage
this
I'm
just
trying
to
find
the
reasoning-
and
it
just
doesn't
add
up
for
me-
and
you
know
the
the
stores
regular
stores
are
not
Cannabis
stores
that
actually
my
dis,
my
district
would
love
to
have
more
stores
that
offer
different
kinds
of
foods
and
if
they
could
all
be
in
a
cluster,
that
would
be
great
because
they
could
go
from
one
store
to
the
other.
R
I,
don't
know
that
we
want
to
encourage
the
same
thing
for
for
cannabis,
as
you
just
finished
saying
that
the
ones
the
the
businesses
that
I
actually
would
be
able
to
move
are
the
ones
that
are
well
established,
and
so
for
me
this
is
this
piece.
This
particular
piece
isn't
adding
up,
although
overall
I'm
I'm,
absolutely
supportive-
and
those
are
my
comments.
Thank
you.
B
Thank
you,
counselor
I
I
appreciate
many
of
the
recommendations
in
the
memo,
but
I
do
share
some
of
the
concerns
about
over
concentration
and
if
I
could
I
think
there
may
be
a
middle
path
here
and
let
me
just
get
to
it
in
a
moment
I.
What
I'm
concerned
about
both
is
the
fact
that
we
know
because
of
this
nature
of
federal
law.
B
Many
of
these
businesses
cannot
Bank
traditionally
and
so
you've
got
a
lot
of
cash
being
held,
and
that
makes
them
somewhat
of
a
Target,
and
we
know
a
very
significant
safety
concern
in
some
places
and
they
spend
a
lot
of
money
on
security.
For
that
reason
and
I
understand,
they're
businesses
are
very
responsible
and
how
they're
dealing
with
it.
But
it
is
a
challenge
so
I
can
imagine
there
would
be
some
concerns
about
an
overconcentration
in
businesses
just
the
standpoint
that
you've
got
this
many
cash
businesses.
B
If
you
had
five
in
one
neighborhood,
for
example,
you
could
imagine
there
being
some
concerns
about
safety,
because,
as
Willie
Sutton,
the
bank
robber
once
said,
I
go
where
the
money
is
that
the
other
concern
I
think
is
that
you
know
just
taking
that
particular
scenario.
You
can
imagine
how
neighbors
would
say.
Look
we
love
Starbucks
too.
We
don't
want
one
in
every
street
corner.
B
It
would
be
nice
to
have
a
variety
of
retail
I
think
we
feel
the
same
way
about
lots
of
stores
and
not
to
mention
the
fact
there
may
be
some
businesses
that
are
on
the
street.
That
may
feel
as
though
having
a
large
concentration
of
Cannabis
stores.
May
in
fact
discourage.
You
can
imagine
you
know
you
can
make
up
their
own
example
that
you
want.
Maybe
it's
a
classical
dance
studio.
I,
don't
know,
is
concerned
about
having
too
many
in
on
the
same
block.
So
I
guess
what
I'm
saying
is.
B
It
seems
to
me
we
probably
can
accomplish
an
awful
lot
by
adopting
councilmember
Foley's
recommendations,
but
giving
staff
some
room
to
be
able
to
come
back
with
some
options
about
how
you
could
reasonably
prevent
over
concentration.
Maybe
the
last
rule
wasn't
the
right
one,
but
maybe
there's
some
other
options
that
the
council
could
consider
when
this
comes
back.
Would
you
be
receptive
to
that
councilman
fully.
Q
Well,
I,
don't
two
things:
one
I
I
do
know
that
there
are
banks
who
are
these
businesses
can
bank
with
Comerica
East
West
Bank
has
two
examples
of
banks
that
are
taking
business
that
are
allowing
these
businesses
to
deposit
with
them.
There's
that,
but
to
your
point,
what
is
an
over
concentration?
What
does
that.
B
B
You
know
a
little
bit
for
me
well,
the
point
would
be
to
allow
staff
to
come
back.
I
mean.
Obviously
we
have
standards,
for
example,
with
liquor
stores.
I'm
not
saying
we
go
adopt
that
standard,
but
I
would
imagine
staff
could
talk
to
Industry
members.
Take
a
look
offer
some
options
to
the
council
and
the
council
could
pick
whatever
it
feels
is
best
I'm,
not
suggesting
we
we
jump
there
now
because
I
don't
think
we're
going
to
Fashion
it
on
the
dice.
So.
Q
Okay,
so
maybe
something
like
taking
a
look
at
a
number
of
dispensaries
per
District.
That
kind
of.
B
G
Thank
councilmember
Foley
and
vice
mayor
chappie,
Jones
and
council
members,
Perales
and
carasco
as
well
for
the
memo
I
won't
bring
up
the
fact
that
we
do
have
a
definite
oversaturation
in
District
Seven
and
thank
you
for
continuing
to
support
to
bring
some
Equity
to
district
7
and
by
continuing
that
exemption.
I
I
also
wanted
to
point
something
out
that
as
I
was
kind
of
going
through,
this
I
saw
the
path
of
travel
for
schools
and
that
brought
up
some
questions
that
I
had
around
okay.
G
If
we
had
a
dispensary
at
the
back
behind
a
school
and
the
kids
were
playing
soccer
and
and
they
would
see
the
dispensary
and
smell
because
you
can
smell
it
right
and
they
could
smell
it,
but
no
this
this.
It
also
includes
a
500
foot.
G
It
includes
a
setback
from
the
parcel
itself
and
so
I
wanted
to
point
that
out,
because
I
really
appreciated
that
and
then
I
I
also
had
some
questions
about
oversaturation
in
other
areas,
and
so
I
really
appreciate
the
dialogue
that
has
been
going
on
in
and
can
support
the
motion
moving
forward.
I
think
that
is
a
thoughtful
approach
to
ensuring
that
the
communities
that
have
you
know
have
frankly
paid
a
higher
price
for
the
War
on
Drugs.
G
Don't
don't
become
oversaturated
in
other
parts
of
the
city
and
so
I
I
just
wanted
to
say.
I
really
appreciate
that
and
we'll
support
the
motion.
Thank
you.
N
N
C
B
You
all
right.
Thank
you.
Okay,
item
8.1
is
the
public
hearing
the
renewal
of
San
Jose
hotel
business
improvement
district.
There
is
no
presentation.
The
any
comment
from
the
public.
O
Of
course,
I
I
can't
watch
it.
Oh
sort
of
from
the
Horseshoe,
of
course,
I'm
going
to
exercise
my
constitutional
right
to
comment
on
every
single
item
that
impacts
my
other
context
in
which
I
live,
and
this
particular
item
with
the
hotels,
I,
don't
think
I,
don't
think
we
have
with
you
guys
are
trying
to
legislate
policy
that
is
going
to
accommodate
people
that
are
visitors
here.
I
think
you
really
need
it,
because
you
know
we're
on
this
Mortal
dream
of
being
morally
and
ethically
conscious
about
our
environment.
O
You
owe
the
Chicano
community
and
we're
going
to
collect,
and
so
the
fact
that
this
city
continues
to
focus
on
visitors,
you
really
care
more
about
people
that
are
coming
to
stronghold
than
you
do
about
the
people
that
built
some
hope
that
right
there
I
want
someone
to
start
commenting
on
that.
You
know
you.
People
really
act
like
you're.
O
The
moral
authority
of
this
city
and,
in
fact,
you're
corrupt,
each
and
every
single
one
of
you-
has
blood
on
your
hand,
and
you
know
you
have
blood
on
your
hands
because
you
have
neglected
to
to
acknowledge
the
Chicano
community
and
the
contributions
that
we
have
made
to
this
city.
But
yet
you
want
to
accommodate
a
visitor
through
this
policy
with
the
hotels,
no,
no,
no,
no
focus
at
home.
First,
don't
worry
about
the
visitors
they're
going
to
come
here
and
spend
their
money
anyway,
focus
on
the
people
that
are
here
already.
B
B
There
will
be
a
second
hearing
all
right,
so
we're
not
going
to
vote
we'll
close
the
hearing
now
and
we'll
resume
it
on
that
future
date
in
December,
December,
6th.
Okay.
So
here
we
go
we'll
move
on
to
the
next
item.
8.2
is
the
emergency
housing
system,
expansion,
actions
related
to
Guadalupe
emergency
interim
housing
site
located
at
the
police,
Administration
Building,
also
known
as
the
elot.
B
A
O
Yes,
Paul
something
from
the
Horseshoe.
Can
you
get
away
from
the
emergency
thing?
I
mean
where?
Why
don't
you
put
in
front
of
that
state
of
emergency,
because
that's
basically,
what
we're
under
number
one
number
two
is
that,
speaking
to
the
larger
context
of
housing,
is
that
you
guys
never
mentioned
the
400
000
people
that
you
guys
already
planned
on
coming
here
to
San
Jose
that
created
this
quote:
unquote:
housing
crisis,
we're
not
in
the
housing
crisis.
O
What
you
guys
did
is
you
decided
without
any
public
input
that
400
000
people
are
going
to
come
to
San
Jose
period,
okay
and
you're,
going
to
do
everything?
It
is
that
you
can
in
your
power
to
accommodate
that.
That's
why
we're
in
the
situation
that
we're
in
and
you're
lying
to
the
people,
every
single
one
of
you,
council
members,
is
lying
to
the
people
they're
lying
to
your
constituents,
you're
lying
to
yourself.
O
So,
with
respect
to
these
emergency
housing,
we're
just
gonna,
you
know
quick,
build
and
we're
just
gonna
build
this
and
build
that
and
put
Band-Aids
on
the
issues
and
you're
not
dealing
with
the
core
issue
itself,
and
that's
the
fact
that
you
gentrified
this
area
by
allowing
400
000
people
in
10
for
400
000
people
to
come
to
this
area,
which
means
you
got
to
get
200
000
people
out,
so
Chicanos
Mexicanos
got
bullseyes
on
them
right
now,
and
every
single
one
of
you
knows
it,
and
you
will
deny
it
that's
what
Gauls
you
it's!
O
J
J
What
a
outstanding
job
they've
done
with
sweeping
people
with
no
notice
allowing
them
to
take
no
belongings
walking
away
in
tears.
Barefoot,
that's
been
amazing
and
also
the
great
job
that
Paul
Pereira
has
done
was
having
a
I,
don't
know
what
kind
of
relationship
with
a
volunteer,
but
it
certainly
doesn't
seem
to
be
above
board
and
always
allowing
them
inside
the
work
area
when
nobody
else
is
allowed
in.
It's
really
a
questionable
relationship.
There
also
just
swearing
at
the
unhoused
folks
that
are
there
swearing
all
the
time.
J
I
mean
that
is
really
the
kind
of
outstanding
performance
that
I
would
expect
from
somebody
who
is
so
high
up
in
the
mayor's
office.
So
I
commend
prns
for
the
kind
of
job
that
they've
been
doing.
Also
not
communicating
with
the
housing
department.
I
mean
that
is
some
outstanding
work
and
also
allowing
a
volunteer
to
constantly
get
in
the
way
of
preventing
housing
staff
destination
home
home
first
from
getting
people
housed,
I
mean
that
that
this.
K
Hi
Blair
Beekman
I
wanted
to
speak
to
on
housed
issues.
I
guess
I
will
save
that
for
public
comment
time
and
very
much
of
a
thank
you
for
the
previous
public
comment.
B
First
I
just
want
to
thank
for
their
generosity,
Peter
and
Susana
Powell
and
their
Sandhill
Foundation,
which
is
a
Christian
Foundation.
That
is
contributed
seven
million
dollars
so
far
to
this
and
to
Evans
Lane
to
help
provide
this
quick,
build
prefabricated
housing.
B
That
is
helping
many
families
already
and
we'll
be
helping.
Many
more
individuals
here
on
this
site.
I
want
to
thank
others
who
generously
donated,
including
all
home,
Ken,
Kirky
and
Tamiko
Moss.
Given
it
I
think
it
was
a
half
million
dollar
contribution,
destination,
home
I,
think
came
in
with
a
million
dollars
and
others.
So
we
really
appreciate
the
generosity
of
the
community.
B
I
want
to
thank
councilmember,
Raul
Perales
for
standing
up
and
supporting
this
and
and
helping
to
get
it
over
the
goal
line
in
many
ways
and
the
many
many
staff
members
Omar.
Thank
you
for
your
help
with
this
expansion
and
then
Matt
Kano
and
James
stagey
and
Catherine
Brown
and
Jackie
Moross,
Fran,
Reagan,
Henninger,
Jim
morpole,
many
others
I
know
have
been
involved
at
various
stages
of
this
and
a
big
thank
you
to
life.
Moves
I'm,
sorry,
wait
a
minute!
This
is
not
life
moves.
This
is
life.
B
Moves
right,
I
may
have
the
operators
messed
up
yeah
this
one
is
life,
moves,
okay,
got
it:
okay,
yes,
big!
Thank
you
to
Aubrey,
Merriman
and
Paul
Simpson.
Thank
you
for
that
Jackie
and
to
into
Goodwill
to
Trish
Dorsey
and
the
Goodwill
team.
We
are
thrilled
to
see
this
movement
forward.
B
I
really
want
to
thank
Mackenzie,
mossen
and
Nathan
ho
on
our
team,
as
well
in
the
mayor's
office,
have
been
working
really
hard
on
all
of
these
projects
with
the
city
team
and
many
partners
really
thrilled
to
see.
Goodwill
partnering
with
life
moves
an
operation
of
this
site
and
helping
to
provide
employment
opportunities
for
the
residents
and
I
know
that
there
are
recommendations
here
to
expand
Public
Works
staff.
For
obvious
reasons.
B
I
understand:
we've
got
a
lot
more
buildings
to
maintain
now
but
I'm,
hoping
that
as
we
developed
these
programs
with
Goodwill
and
now
with
the
San
Francisco
Foundation,
hopefully
coming
back
with
their
study
soon
Jackie,
you
know
when
that's
coming
back
down
in
the
spring
yeah.
Okay,
so
in
a
few
months
we'll
see
some
opportunities.
I
hope
see
how
we
can
actually
provide
employment
opportunities
for
the
residents
in
supporting
the
maintenance
and
operations
of
their
own
community.
B
That
would
be
I
think
helpful,
both
in
terms
of
making
these
communities
more
sustainable
and
also
helping
make
the
individuals
get
back
on
their
feet.
So
I'm
very
excited
to
see
this
expand
and
thankful
that
so
many
people
came
together
to
make
it
happen
all
right.
Are
there
any
comments
or
is
there
a
motion.
G
Thank
you.
I
had
a
question
around
the
expansion,
so
we
are
figuring
out
the
parking
spaces.
Is
that
correct.
P
G
So
you
know
mainly
I'm
concerned
that
we
have
it.
You
know
we
have
a
lot
of
support
staff
that
work
at
that
location,
24,
7,
dispatchers
and
record
clerks
majority
of
whom
are
female
staff
working
you
know
shifts
where
they
get
off
at
3,
A.M
or-
and
you
know,
I'm
concerned
about
how
we,
where
how
where
we,
where
they
Park
and
how
they
get
there
in
a
way
that
is
safe,
the
jail
is
nearby
and
they
let
folks
out
in
the
middle
of
the
night.
G
There's
it's
just
it's
late
right,
I
mean
it's
late
and
it's
downtown,
and
so
that's
really.
My
concern
is
around
the
plan
for
where
our
own
City
staff
are
going
to
safely
Park
to
get
to
work
every
day.
T
Thank
you,
hello,
Council
councilmember.
This
is
James
stagey
with
the
public
works
department.
Just
wanted
to
to
answer
that
as
best
as
I
can.
As
you
can
see
in
the
report,
we
were
looking
at
kind
of
a
two-step
process
to
try
to
expand
parking
out
there
number
one
we've
evaluated
the
the
street
parking
and
are
looking
to
add
20
restricted
parking
spaces.
T
The
expansion
itself
will
reduce
the
number
of
parking
spaces
by
about
14.,
so
we're
actually
gaining
some
additional
parking
spaces.
By
doing
this,
the
second
phase
will
be
to
evaluate
the
existing
parking
lot
and
see
if
there's
ways
that
we
can
more
efficiently
expand
that
parking
lot.
I
hope,
I,
hope
that
answers
your
question.
G
And
so
does
that
include
options
that
might
be
like
closing
off
Mission
or
you
know
again:
I'm
I'm,
just
going
back
to
I'm
a
records,
Clerk
I
get
off
work
at
3am.
G
I
need
to
to
go
to
my
car
in
a
in
a
way.
That's
safe,
right.
T
Yeah
at
this
point,
it
does
not
include
closing
off
Mission
Street.
The
existing
lot
e
is
an
enclosed
and
secured
space
that
will
continue
to
be.
You
know
the
primary
parking
area,
for
you
know,
night
staff
and
and
a
staff
we
certainly
can
continue
to
and
will
continue
to
evaluate
the
efficiency
of
the
existing
parking
lot
e.
G
And
and
again
I'm,
not
just
talking
about
efficiency,
James,
I'm
I'm
talking
about
safety,
so
that,
and
maybe
we're
saying
the
same
thing
right
like
you're
thinking,
efficiency
and
a
matter
of
it
being
close
by
so
that
folks
don't
have
to
go
a
long
way.
That's
what
I'm
thinking
of
when
I
think
of
something
that's
safe
when
someone
is
getting
off
of
work
at
a
very
late,
very
dark
hour,
and
so
so
that
I'm
just
I'm.
F
Council,
member
Sparta-
this
is
Jennifer
McGuire
I-
think
I
have
to
just
I'll
have
to
get
back
to
you,
but
I
thought
in
the
flasher's
budget.
We
we
were
concerned
about
that.
We
were
doing
a
pilot
I.
Just
can't
put
my
finger
on
it
right
now,
as
you
were
asking
the
question
related
to
to
that
of
us
piloting
some
escorts
to
for
late
night,
but
I
need
to
look
into
that.
But,
yes,
we
understand
the
concerns
about
the
safety
of
people
walking
late
at
night
and
we
will
have
to
get.
F
G
Okay
and
then,
by
proving,
what's
we're
not
saying
that
parking
space,
you
know
a
is
going
to
go
right
here
right,
like
that
plan
is,
is
still
being
developed
and
it
will
include
that
possibly
security
escort
or
something
like
that
for
our
our
folks.
So
and
then,
if
Jennifer,
if
somebody
could
get
back
to
me,
that
would
be
great
or.
J
G
To
all
of
us,
I'm
sure
I'm,
not
the
only
one
with
that
concern,
so.
F
Has
brought
this
up
to
me
before
and
so,
and
we've
taught
I
know
that
Matt
and
I
have
talked
about
it
in
the
past,
so
we
I
think
we
can.
You
know,
hopefully
do
do
both
here
and
make
sure
that
we're
you
know
dealing
with
this
project
and
then
also
ensuring
safety
of
Staff,
but
it
doesn't
have
to
be
an
or.
G
B
Okay,
thank
you,
councilmember.
Any
other
comments,
all
right.
Let's
vote
on
Vice
mayor's
motion.
Yes,.
C
L
C
I
B
Thank
you
thank
you
and
happily
we're
ending
on
8.3,
which
is
also
an
expansion
of
our
emergency
housing
system
relating
to
the
home
key
program
round
two
funds
in
the
California
Department
of
Housing
Community
Development
for
the
interim
housing
located
at
Branham
and
Monterey.
There
is
a
presentation
here:
well
Rachel
and
Jackie.
U
All
right
this
evening
we
are
bringing
forward
the
Branham
and
Monterey
interim
housing
solution,
which
is
actually
it
is
interesting.
This
is
your
second
interim
housing
solution
right
in
a
row,
so
I
think
you
can
definitely
see
our
commitment
to
yes
to
this
challenge.
U
So
this
evening
we
are
bringing
forward
this
proposal
to
you.
It
is
a
development
located
at
the
corner
of
Branham
Lane
and
Monterey
Road.
It
will
include
204
units
providing
interim
shelter
for
individuals
and
couples.
The
building
is
designed
to
allow
for
the
conversion
to
permanent
housing.
If
and
when
that
decision
is
made
to
do
that,.
U
The
action
today
is
centered
around
two
primary
Investments.
One
is
to
actually
accept
the
home
key
funds
that
are
being
made
available
by
the
state
and
those
funds
total
over
50
million
dollars.
For
this
development.
This
is
actually
the
largest
home
key
award
that
we
have
received,
and
also
we
are
requesting
your
support
for
a
commitment
of
37
million
dollars
of
City
funds.
10
million
of
those
funds
will
be
used
for
the
construction
of
the
site,
and
27
million
will
be
used
for
the
operations
over
a
seven
year
period.
U
What's
unique
about
this
interim
housing
site
is
that
the
design
and
all
of
the
thought
gone
into
it
has
created
an
option
for
this
site
to
be
converted
to
permanent
housing
with
kitchenettes.
U
What
this
actually
does
is
allow
the
unit
to
be
subsidized
with
a
housing
Choice
voucher,
which
is
a
very
important
key
to
be
able
to
provide
affordable,
rent
in
the
long
term,
and
so
the
other
thing
that's
unique
about
this
site
is
that
we
do
feel
that
it's
a
high
quality
site
for
permanent
housing.
It's
located
near
jobs,
Transit
medical
centers
there
there
is
a
it-
would
just
be
a
very
great
place
to
build
community
in
the
long
term,
foreign.
U
So
this
site
is
an
example
of
true
partnership.
We
tonight
we
want
to
recognize
life
moves
for
bringing
this
whole
idea
forward
to
us.
We
appreciate
Aubry
and
his
leadership
with
life,
moves
Paul
for
completing
the
home,
key
application
and
Joanne
for
shepherding
this
concept
through
every
single
twist
and
turn
that
might
have
come
our
way.
I
also
want
to
thank
John
sobrato
for
his
commitment
to
finding
solutions
to
the
challenges
facing
our
unhoused
residents.
U
This
project
also
included
input
from
our
lived
experience,
Advisory
Board,
who
is
really
helping
us
shape
what
this
housing
should
look
like
to
provide
the
very
best
experience
possible,
and
we
also
want
to
thank
the
county
for
also
providing
funds
for
operating.
This
is
once
again
this
one.
This
site
is
unique
in
that
the
county
is
also
providing
operating
support.
U
Finally,
I
want
to
recognize
that
both
District
2
and
district
10
have
been
supporters
of
this
project.
This
is
actually
one
of
a
unique
development
that
switched
districts
during
redistricting,
so
both
of
those
districts
have
spent
a
whole
lot
of
time
with
the
community
and
just
really
trying
to
educate
our
residents
on
the
importance
of
this
development.
So
we
really
thank
them
for
their
commitment
as
well.
V
And
this
is
Jackie.
The
Morales
friend
I'm,
the
director
of
the
housing
department
and
I,
do
want
to
thank
Rachel
and
her
team
for
taking
on
this
very
challenging
project.
When
she
talks
about
twists
and
turns
there
were
many
of
those
to
get
this
project
over
the
goal
line.
You
know
the
housing
department
really
LED
in
thinking
through
what
an
opportunity.
V
This
would
be
to
flip
this
to
permanent
housing,
and
so
it's
really
towards
I
want
to
congratulate
Rachel
for
her
vision
in
wanting
to
put
the
kitchenettes
in,
because
that
does
allow
this
development
to
really
act
as
permanent
housing
in
the
long
run.
So
we're
very
pleased
to
see
how
the
this
project
came
out.
So
thank
you.
Rachel.
U
And
actually
I
would
also
just
like
to
take
a
moment
to
thank
Isaac
Arona,
who
is
on
my
team,
who
has
spent
countless
hours
working
on
this
as
well,
and
just
working
to
bring
all
of
these
Partners
together
to
really
kind
of
see
how
this
could
happen.
So
I
really
appreciate
his
work
and
time
as
well.
B
Thank
you
Rachel
and
I
Echo.
The
thanks.
Thanks
for
your
great
work
on
leadership
on
this,
let's
go
to
the
public
and
we'll
come
back.
J
In
the
Total
Resource
deserts,
District,
2,
9
and
10,
which
we
serve
a
lot
of
I,
do
hope
that
the
people
who
live
there
are
treated
who
currently
live
on
the
site
are
treated
humanely
and
that
they
are
not
treated
like
people
over
at
Spring.
Street
I
also
wanted
to
make
a
note
that,
when
sweeps
were
handled
by
John,
they
were
done
much
more
nicely
more,
humanely
and
I
think
that
many
of
The
Advocates
would
agree
as
well
as
the
people
who
have
been
swept
by
prns.
J
I
also
would
like
to
see
more
services,
obviously
on
the
South
Side
in
District,
2,
9
and
10.
again
these
resource
deserts,
because
it
leaves
it
so
much
up
to
The,
Advocates
and
the
non-profit
to
provide
all
these
services
that
don't
exist
in
two
nine
and
ten
and
I.
Think
that's
really
a
travesty.
To
have
three
districts
that
cover
such
a
large
area
was
so
such
a
dearth
of
services
out
there.
J
It
is
nice
to
see
that
this
is
going
to
be
something
big,
but
it's
going
to
take
an
awfully
long
time
to
build
and
in
the
meantime,
we
have
probably
200
250
people
between,
like
the
Bass
Pro
Shop
area,
I'm
like
Monterey
and
Cottle
out
there
on
the
south
side
that
don't
have
any
place
to
stay,
and
we
really
really
need
to
work
on
that,
especially
during
winter.
Thank
you
all
good
job
housing
department
really
appreciate
it,
though.
A
O
Yes
possible
from
the
Horseshoe
thank
you
for
the
for
the
last
caller.
I
really
appreciate
her
input
and
the
work
that
she's
doing
in
the
community.
Thank
you
as
another
member
of
the
community.
That's
along
that
works
in
conjunction
with
the
kind
of
work
you're
doing.
Thank
you
as
another
citizen
Paul's
photo
from
the
Horseshoe.
O
Yes,
I
agree
with
what
she
stated
is
that
I
I
applaud
any
time
any
kind
of
housing
like
here
is
built,
but
to
think
that
this
was
a
vision
of
of
the
Senora
that
was
mentioned,
the
kitchenettes
were
a
vision,
that's
an
expectation.
That
is
an
expectation.
O
I
mean
these
are
Visions
I
mean
you
guys
congratulate
yourselves.
It's
almost
like
congratulating
a
kid
for
making
his
bed
you're
supposed
to
make
your
bed
in
the
morning.
That's
that's
something
I'm
going
to
congratulate
you
about.
That's
something!
That's
expected
from
you.
You
know
around
some
weird
kids,
we're
expected
to
clean
the
house.
We
didn't
get
a
pet
on
the
back
for
what
to
do.
What's
expected
of
you,
we
expect
this
housing
department
to
do
exactly
what
it's
doing,
I'm
going
to
congratulate
you.
O
No,
what
I
will
do
is
give
props
to
to
councilman
Jimenez,
because
I
know
he
has
been
working
in
one
of
the
most
conservative
districts
in
this
city,
and
this
is
the
Chicano
and
he's
working
in
that
District.
That's
hard
work
to
be
able
to
create
that
kind
of
balance,
so
I
applaud
him
for
what
he
and
and
councilman
Mahan
have
been
able
to
collaborate
and
to
accomplish
in
that
District,
because
I
know
that
is
not
easy.
I've
been
to
the
Hayes
Mansion
during
those
meetings
and
those
people
are
rough,
I
thought
well.
O
K
All
right
Beekman
here
thanks
a
lot
for
everyone's
work
on
this
item,
thanks
a
lot
also
for
the
words
of
I
think
with
Sean
Cartwright
at
the
beginning
boy.
She
offered
just
some
really
great
words
about
how
there
used
to
be
with
the
Swedish
process.
The
person
named
John,
who
handled
it
that
I
think
I
hope
we
can
remember
his
name
and
what
his
practices
were
about,
because
I'm
interested
in
that
work.
K
The
same
issues
goes
on
down
here:
yeah
I'll
I'll
continue,
but
those
issues
go
on
here
in
San,
Diego
I,
it's
important
to
to
get
back
to
those
good
practices
we
had
with
the
sweep
issues
of
preparing
the
the
community
I
wanted
to
offer
that,
in
the
importance
of
the
work
that
you're
doing
with
this
home
key
project
and
what
you're
accomplishing
it's
it's
incredibly
important,
but
it
again
it's
only
one
part
of
the
process.
I
would
love
to
see
at
these
Council
meetings.
K
All
the
other
functions
that
you
know,
homeless.
Funding
can
now
work
towards
and
and
and
like
say,
what's
being
was
just
at
the
Santa
Clara
County
Board
of
Supervisors.
Today,
the
project
by
supervisor,
Chavez
and
and
Ellenberg
about
housing,
you
know
mothers
and
children
that
can
be
a
top
priority,
that
we
can
house
most
women
and
and
their
children
by
2025
and
a
a
majority,
a
large
portion-
and
that's
hopeful
and
that's
nice-
to
talk
about
and
think
about
and
and
how
that's
possible
is
the
subsidy
funding.
K
We
now
have
available
and
that's
possible
to
work
with
and
and
that
we
you
know
these
are
our
better
selves,
our
better
practices
we
can
now
put
to
good
use
and
I
just
wish.
Those
sort
of
items
would
come
to
this
Council
more
often,
and
we
talk
about
those
things
more
openly
and
not
be.
B
All
right,
I
see
both
council
members,
Mahan
and
Jimenez
have
their
hands
up
and
they
both
have
memos
and
I'm
happy
to
go
to
either.
I
know
that
this
starting
council
member
mayhem's
district
and
was
transferred
to
customer
Jimenez,
so
comes
from
my
hand,
you
had
your
hands
up
first,
why
don't
you
go
ahead
thanks.
N
Man
or
yeah
I
really
really
appreciate
this
important
Milestone
I
think
it's
a
super.
Exciting
project
I've
been
proud
to
to
play
a
part
in
it
and
want
to
Echo
the
thanks
to
everyone
who
was
already
listed.
I
know
our
housing
department
has
worked
incredibly
hard
mayor.
You
and
your
team
have
put
in
countless
hours
on
this.
The
life
moves
team
has
been
there
along
the
way.
John
and
sobrato
personally.
N
Contributing
five
million
dollars
is,
is
incredible
and
then
councilor
Jimenez
has
been
a
great
partner
as
we've
gone
through
our
once
in
a
decade
redistricting,
and
this
moved.
You
know
somewhat
unexpectedly
from
District
10
into
his
into
District
Two
and
and
it's
been
a
seamless
transition.
So
I
really
appreciate
his
work
and
he
and
I
were
talking
about
deciding
collaborating
even
prior
to
that,
because
it
was
right
on
the
right
on
the
previous
border
of
our
district.
N
N
Innovative
may
seem
like
a
strong
word,
but
the
fact
that
we
are
stacking
three
high,
that
were
that
we're
continuing
to
embrace
the
prefab
modular
approach,
which
is
faster
and
cheaper,
the
kitchenettes
and
ability
to
to
transition
to
permanent
over
time-
and
these
are
a
lot
of
components
of
this
that
are
really
compelling
and
and
and
give
us
some
scalability
and
kind
of
a
path
forward
that
I
that
I
personally
am
very
excited
about.
N
So
I
most
of
us
wanted
to
Echo
the
thanks,
I'll
I'll
say
appreciate,
councilor
jimenez's
memo
and
we'll
move
that
in
a
moment
I'll.
N
Let
him
speak
to
it,
but
I'll
just
say:
I,
think
the
emphasis
on
prioritizing
local
Outreach
in
the
vicinity
is
is
really
smart
and
important
for
us
to
think
about
doing
across
all
of
our
sites,
because
it's
important
that
neighborhoods
that
take
on
a
part
of
the
solution
see
the
benefits
in
their
own
backyard
and
appreciate
the
the
points
about
pedestrian
safety
and
beautification
and
I
think
also
really
critical
points.
For
my
own
memo.
I
just
want
to
highlight
the
you
know,
having
support
from
some
staff
and
really
clear,
consistent
communication.
N
We
do
still
get
community
members
who
have
questions
about
the
project
and
also
aren't
clear
on
which
Council
District
they're
in
which
is
understandable,
but
just
want
to
make
sure
that
we
have
a
really
proactive,
Outreach
and
communication
plan
I've
written
a
bit
about
reporting,
just
because
I
I
think
it's
I
hope
that,
as
this
site
has
been
Innovative
in
in
other
ways,
it
can
also
help
improve
the
the
way
in
which
we
are
expand.
N
The
way
in
which
we
report
on
the
performance
and
and
incorporate
some
of
the
lessons
from
the
the
study,
the
operating
cost
study
that
we'll
be
getting
back
next
year.
N
That
I
think
you
referenced
mayor,
I,
think
having
those
learnings
and
constantly
pushing
to
optimize
how
we
operate
these
sites
and-
and
you
know,
everybody
I
think
knows
that
the
operating
costs
over
time
will
be
hard,
especially
for
units
that
don't
have
vouchers
so
I
think
you
know
making
sure
we
really
nailed
down
the
regular
reporting
and
ongoing
optimization
of
how
we're
running
the
sites
and
and
getting
down
costs
and
empowering
the
residents
of
the
society
and
improving
their
outcomes
is
really
critical.
So
that's
just
kind
of
at
a
high
level.
N
Some
of
the
things
contained
in
both
of
our
memos
we've
been
collaborating.
We
did.
We
missed
the
deadline
for
a
group
memo,
but
we'll
want
to
move
both
the
well
I
guess
the
staff
rack
first
and
foremost,
and
then
my
memo
as
well
as
council,
member
jimenez's
memo
and
once
again
just
want
to
thank
everybody.
Who's
worked
really
hard
to
get
us
to
this
point.
I
think
it's
a
really
exciting
project
and
a
key
step
forward
in
our
ongoing
battle
and
homelessness
in
our
community.
So
thank
you.
L
Yeah
thanks
mayor,
I,
I
think
all
the
thanks
have
really
been
given
just
to
express
appreciation
for
everyone
that
was
involved.
Making
this
a
reality
I
think
it's
a
very
important
project,
Innovative
in
its
own
way.
L
You
know,
as
councilmember
Mayhem
mentioned
in
the
memo
that
I
put
out
really
had
a
few
components
really
is
one
is
beautification,
the
other
one
is
pedestrian
safety
around
the
area
and
the
other
which
I
think
is
probably
the
most
important
out
of
the
three
is
really
the
the
immediate,
the
Outreach
and
the
immediate
vicinity
of
the
development,
because
I
think,
if
we
don't
prioritize
getting
some
of
the
folks
in
the
immediate
vicinity,
housed
to
the
extent
possible
in
that
development,
I
think
folks.
L
L
So
that's
why,
in
the
memo
that
I
put
out,
that
I
was
hoping
that
Midway
through
the
development
of
the
project,
the
the
Outreach,
would
begin
in
Earnest
to
to
many
of
the
areas
that
actually
Sean
mentioned
like
over
there
by
Blossom,
Hill
and
Monterey
and
Bernal
and
Monterey,
and
some
of
those
areas
where
we
have
folks
that
are
constantly
camping
along
the
The
Rail
lines
that
we
know
are
are
certainly
not
very
safe
and
so
I
just
also
wanted
to
say
that
support
everything
in
council
member
mahan's
memo
I
think
it's
important
that
we
provide
some
good
outcomes
and
provide
Clarity
to
the
residents
as
to
how
effective
these
developments
are.
L
I
think
there's
some
things
that
can
be
improved
as
it
relates
to
showcasing
the
successes
of
these
developments
and
I
think
some
of
what
he
what
he
mentioned,
seemed
to
be
a
common
sensible
approaches
to
really
showing
that
highlighting
that
for
the
residents.
L
The
other,
the
very
last
thing
I
would
say,
is
just
simply
that
you
know
many
of
the
residents
I
represent
continue
to
say
that
South
San
Jose
is
we're
doing
too
much
we're
doing
a
lot
of
these
projects,
and
so
I've
often
told
my
residents
that
it
may
seem
that
way.
There's
other
districts
that
I
think
have
done
more,
but
we
shouldn't
say
it
in
such
a
way
in
which
we're
upset
about
it.
L
We
should
acknowledge
that
it's
a
good
thing
that
we're
stepping
up
and
doing
what
needs
to
be
done
to
help
move
the
issue
of
or
unhoused
residents
forward,
and
so
very
proud
of,
the
fact
that
my
constituents,
my
office,
my
team
and
the
whole
city
Administration,
along
with
other
partners
such
as
John
sobrato
and
even
your
office
Mayor
I,
know
you've
been
heavily
involved.
L
Many
of
these
things,
but
you
know
consistently
moving
these
forward
to
the
extent
possible
in
District,
Two
I
think
is
important,
I'm
very
proud
of
that
fact,
and
so
this
is
just
but
one
additional
project.
That's
going
to
help
house
some
of
the
residents
that
desperately
need
this
type
of
housing.
So
with
that
I'll
stop
talking
and
happy
to
support
this.
Thank
you.
B
Thank
you,
councilmember
I
appreciate
your
comments
very
much
I
appreciate
what
both
council
members
have
done
here.
I
think
councilman
jimenez's
memo
lays
out
well,
a
lot
of
bullets
were
taken
back
in
2017
in
these
conversations
started
initially
and
then,
particularly
during
2020,
when
we
were
moving
forward.
The
quick
build
models
and
I
do
appreciate
how
your
district
has
taken
on
so
many
of
these
projects.
B
Councilmember,
Menace
and
I
also
appreciate
that
when
this
opportunity
was
brought
to
us,
particularly
as
John
sobrato,
talked
about
making
a
commitment
of
some
kind,
councilor
Mayhem,
you
know
proactively
reached
out
because
at
the
time
this
was
in
his
district
proactively
reached
out
and
had
a
lot
of
coffees
I,
don't
know
how
many
coffees
you
had
councilmember
Mayhem,
but
I
I
know.
B
It
was
many
because
I
remember
talking
to
you
throughout
this
time
and
again
a
lot
of
conversations
that
were
unhappy
conversations
with
neighbors,
and
this
is
what
we
all
have
to
do
and
I
appreciate
the
leadership
that
both
these
council
members
have
shown
to
get
this
project
over
the
goal
line,
of
course,
with
really
hard
work
from
staff.
B
Rachel,
Isaac,
Arona,
James,
stagey,
Reagan,
Jackie,
everybody
working
hard
on
this
one,
along
with
the
public
works
team
and
and
of
course,
thanks
to
John
and
sue
sobrato
for
a
five
million
dollar
commitment.
They
were
very
clear
that
they
just
want
to
see
homeless
housing
get
built,
I've
been
involved
in
other
efforts
of
John's
to
just
try
to
see
he'd
be
given
the
money.
If
we
could
just
find
the
room
and
I
appreciate
the
fact
that
he
continued
to
stay
true
to
his
commitment
here.
B
I
also
want
to
again
thank
life,
moves
Aubry
and
Joe,
and
everybody
over
there.
I
I
think
we
are
doing
great
work
and,
and
certainly
life
moves
is
an
incredible
organization
and
I
will
say
nothing
negative
about
life
moves,
but
I
will
say
this
I
think
we're
really
good
at
doing
in
this
city.
We're
sometimes
bad
about
taking
credit
for
it,
and
let
me
give
you
an
example
about
how
we're
bad
at
taking
credit
for
it.
On
page
six
of
the
staff
memo
it
describes.
B
This
is
what
the
sun
says.
Despite
the
challenges
of
managing
new
construction
project,
life
moves,
Mountain,
View,
home
key
site,
opened
100
units
admit
its
first
clients
within
six
months.
It's
innovated
and
expedited
strategy
resulted
in
construction
cost
of
170
000
per
unit.
The
Mountain
View
project
became
the
Catalyst
for
other
Innovative
projects
such
as
this
proposed
project
in
San
Jose.
Now
what
I
know
is
that
project
in
Mountain
View
was
completed,
I
think
in
May
of
2021.
B
By
that
time
we
had
already
completed
three
quick,
build
housing
communities
here
in
San
Jose,
actually
at
a
lower
cost
per
unit,
and
all
of
our
units
had
bathrooms
within
the
units
and
and
I
just
think
look
life
moves
is
doing
great
work,
but
let's
give
ourselves
credit
here.
B
We
were
far
along
on
this
process
and
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
we
take
credit
for
what
we're
doing,
because
I
don't
think
the
community
understands
just
how
much
is
being
done,
because,
frankly,
the
media
is
not
telling
them
about
it
and
I
think
we
ought
to
be
telling
folks
about
what
we're
doing,
because
a
I
think
this
is
a
model
that
we
need
to
scale
and
we
need
to
get
public
support
for
this
model
or
else
we're
not
going
to
be
able
to
scale
it.
B
We
know
what
happens
when
there's
public
opposition
and
if
people
don't
see
that
we're
actually
doing
good
and
we're
making
progress,
we're
not
going
to
be
able
to
have
the
momentum
politically
to
get
these
very
difficult
projects
implemented.
You
know,
council,
member,
Mayhan
and
councilmember
Menace
obviously
did
incredible
work
with
staff
on
this.
One
we
would
like
to
see
that
work
get
easier,
not
harder,
so
I'm
hoping
we
can
accurately
tell
the
story
about
what
we're
doing
and
I
will
stop
with
that
Mr.
P
Mayor
yeah,
this
is
Omar
passons
I
just
wanted
to
mention
that
the
team,
actually
the
council
at
your
direction
in
a
prior
memo,
has
us
coming
forward
on
May.
Excuse
me:
November
29th,
the
housing
department
will
be
able
to
really
specifically
address
those
successes
across
the
system.
Right
so
that'll
be
part
of
that
communication,
as
well
as
the
existing
Outreach
to
individuals
right
at
those
locations
around
the
site.
P
That's
something
that's
that's
built
into
the
way
that
they
they
have
designed
the
program,
so
that'll
be
a
good
good
thing
to
come
back
with
on
the
on
the
29th
thanks
Omar.
B
I
really
appreciate
that
yeah
and
I
I
think
you
know
it's
it's
important,
because
we've
got
to
build
more
of
these.
We've
got
a
big
crisis
and
it's
going
to
take
a
lot
of
Community
Support.
So
thank
you
for
that.
One,
quick
question:
actually
two
I'm
sorry
I'll
make
it
fast
first
groundbreaking.
Is
that
going
to
happen
in
December.
B
Thanks
for
checking
on
that
Rachel
and
then,
secondly,
on
on
the
decision
for
kitchenettes,
which
I
think
we
should
keep
experimenting
and
trying
different
variations
and
I
think
it's
a
good
thing
to
have
kitchenettes,
particularly
if
they
give
us
that
flexibility
to
go
to
permanent
housing.
I
was
under
the
impression
that
kitchenettes
themselves
were
not
required
to
make
these
about.
Section
8
voucher
eligible
am
I
wrong
about
that.
V
You
don't,
but
the
challenge
is:
if
we
want
to
do
permanent
housing,
we
know
we
would
not
be
able
to
convert
this
site
without
having
individual
cooking.
Our
experience
with
the
sure
stay
with
which
the
housing
department
is
intimately
involved
in,
has
really
educated
us
on
what
people
want
and
need
in
order
to
want
to
stay
long
longer
term
in
a
site
and
the
power
to
have
an
ability
to
cook
and
prepare
your
own
food
is
really
important
to
people
right.
E
A
V
It
you
know,
it
certainly
has
gotten
me
thinking
more
about
how
we
deliver
food
and
fresh
food,
and
the
importance
of
that.
So
you
know
I
think
it
did
add
an
addition.
National
costs,
but
I
do
think
if
what
we
want
is
to
convert
to
permanent
housing.
The
only
way
to
do
it
is
to
have
those
individual.
The
ability
to
actually
prepare
food
is
extremely
important.
B
Okay,
you
know
those
points
are
all
well
taken.
I
I
would
just
ask
if
we
could
keep
sort
of
an
open
mind
about
what
variations
there
might
be
because
I
mean,
as
I
visited
these
communities
over
the
time,
and-
and
actually
this
is
a
reflection
I
had
with
Chris
from
Chris
black,
who
were
in
San
Francisco's
program
for
many
years
or
is
now
running
it
I
think
you
know
when
he
visited
he
said
you
know
this.
B
This
idea
of
communal,
dining
and
communal
kitchens
is
actually
a
wonderful
thing
in
a
small
enough
community
of
say:
60
80,
90
people,
because
so
many
of
these
individuals
have
suffered
so
much
from
such
severe
isolation,
and
the
idea
that
you
can
bring
people
together
is
a
wonderful
thing
and
I.
Just
the
one
thing,
I
fear
is
that
what
we
may
be
doing
is
confronting
people
back
to
apartments.
B
V
T
M
V
V
Communal
living,
shared
housing,
private
Apartments
I
mean
we
have
an
opportunity
to
do
it
all,
and
we
should
because
it's
not
a
one-size-fits
all
for
everybody,
they're,
definitely
people
who
need
a
more
communal
space
and
there
are
definitely
people
who
will
Thrive
in
places
where
they
can
have
privacy
and
the
ability
to
control
their
own
environment.
But
the
units
are
so
small.
It
will
require
having
a
nice
community
space
where
people
can
meet
and
gather
okay.
B
Thank
you,
Jackie,
so
all
good
points,
all
right
and
finally,
I
want
to
thank
our
voters
supporting
measure
e,
without
which
we
wouldn't
be
able
to
operate
this
one
all
right,
any
other
questions
from
Michael.
L
Oh
I
got
my
I
got
my
yes
I'm,
sorry
Castle
her
Menace,
oh
it's,
okay,
I,
just
I
raised
my
hand,
because
your
comments
sort
of
reminded
me
of
something
that
I'm
sure
my
residents
would
would
appreciate
me
being
me
saying,
and
that
is
just
simply
to
very
publicly
encourage
every
other
colleague
up
there
on
the
diocese
in
every
District
around
the
city,
to
look
for
sites
in
your
respective
districts
to
do
what
we've
been
doing
to
try
to
move
this
issue
forward
in
your
District

I'm
personally,
inviting
a
councilman
for
all
this
and
all
the
other

members
to
attend
the
historical
landmark
commission.
Tomorrow,
I
was
able
I'm
very,
very
proud
of
this
work
that
I've
been
able
to
do
in
conjunction
with
the

I
was
able
to
successfully
get

O
The

that
produced
the

and
a
house
on
the
west
side
of
San

where
Cesar
Chavez
had
lived
that
none

knew
about,
but
I
was
able
to
discover

put
the
necessary
paperwork
and
research
in
and
was
able
to
successfully
get
it
onto
the

meeting
tomorrow
at

and
I'm
very
proud
of
this
work,
the

councils.
They
participated
in
conjunction
with
councilman
paralysis.
All
of

are
going
to
be
there,
president
of

South
Majestics.
O
All
these
car
club
members
and
presidents
are
going
to
be
in
attendance,
because
this
is
our
history
and
we
need
to
preserve
it,
and
so,
rather
than
just
committing
myself
to
tearing
down
statues
and
taking
down
that
felon
statute,
I'm
also
responsible
for
preserving
our
history,
she
found
in
history
is
very,
very
important.
It's
critically
important
to
preserve-
and
it's
going
to
be
by
us
for
us,
because
it's
about
us
so
I
personally
invite
all
of
you
to
the
landmarks
Commission
meeting
tomorrow
at
6

Thank
you.

Hi
David
here:
good
luck
on
accountability,
issues
or
technology
I
feel
it's
a
real
important
subject
matter
that
can't
just
be
swept
under
the
rug,
I
think,
city
government
staff
is
really
working
well
on
the
issue
and
really
learning
how
to
ask
for
Community,
Voices
and
Community
input
for
the
future
of
its
item
in
its
work
and
I.
I.
Think
it's
something
that
can
really
grow
in
the
future
of
San,
Jose
and
and
it
invites
the
whole
Community
process
and
I
I.
K
Don't
think
we
can
ignore
that
in
our
future
and
so
I'm
interested
how
that
process
will
be
growing,
and
it's
growing
for
all
of
us
and
good
luck
in
those
efforts,
how
we
can
address
accountability
and
openness
with
the
future
of
Our,
Community,
Technology,
think
of
those
words
and
how
you
can
contribute
to
it.
It's
an
interesting
subject
matter
for
our
future.
With
that
said,
I
wanted
to
be
able
to
try
one
more
time.
Try
another
time
to
try
to
describe
my
feelings
about.
K
You
know
the
the
concepts
of
a
racial
Equity,
Health
and
Human
Services
ideas,
the
open
and
accountable
practices
or
technology
work
that
I
do.
How
all
of
that
can
be
applicable
and
helpful
to
the
negotiation
process
in
Ukraine?
You
know,
like
I've,
been
saying
the
there
there's
two
sides:
there's
always
two
sides
to
an
issue
and
the
negotiation
process
of
having
you
know
an
East-West
Ukraine
with
both
having
access
to
the
Black
Sea
areas.
That's
a
concept.
K
We
don't
talk
about
enough
in
the
media
and
in
our
day-to-day
lives.
I,
don't
think
if
we
just
simply
made
that
negotiation
process,
clear
I
hope
that
can
help
a
lot
to
understand.
What's
what
what
is
actually
being.
B
All
right,
thank
you.
This
meeting
will
adjourn.
