Thank
you.
Okay,
we're
on
to
the
land,
use
consent
item
with
two
items:
10.1.
There
are
two
items
on
land
use
consent.
Would
anyone
like
to
pull
either
of
those
or
is
there
a
motion
so
moved.
F
G
Item
pardon
me:
what
was
that
mayor.
A
E
A
A
I
Hi
I'd
just
like
to
thank
you
for
your
work
today
on
on
covet
issues
and
talking
about
kovid
and
kip
harkness
very
nicely
reminded
in
the
previous
council
session
in
december
that
you
know.
I
Hopefully
we
can
be
on
track
for
the
summer
time
to
start
to
better
address
the
future
of
kovid
and
we
can
be
in
a
better
space
overall,
and
I
I
good
luck
to
ourselves
how
we're
going
to
talk
about
the
vaccination
process
in
the
next
few
months
and
support
our
governor
who's
really
he's
had
a
tough
battle.
I
hope
we
can
find
a
good
balance.
I
feel
council
person
esparza
might
have
offered
an
interesting
idea
that
you
know
why
not
have
a
some
sort
of
a
committee
meeting
now
council
study
session.
I
Now
that
can
possibly
I
I
think
you
know
our
good
thinking
at
the
local
level
can
maybe
help
the
governor
at
this
time,
and
then
we
can
have
a
second
meeting
in
in
the
end
of
february,
and
that
way
I
think
we
can
start
to
get
a.
I
I
A
All
right,
thank
you
back
to
the
council.
Let's
vote.
C
J
K
C
L
C
A
G
L
Thank
you
mayor.
I
wanted
to
kind
of
frame
why
council
member
arenas
and
I
asked
staff
to
come
and
present
their
annual
small
local
business
contract
participation
report
to
really
illustrate
the
strong
need
of
our
city
to
do
more
to
ensure
that
small
and
underrepresented
businesses
are
able
to
participate
in
our
procurement
programs.
L
Given
all
that's
been
happening
over
the
past
year
and
the
struggles
that
our
disadvantaged
businesses
have
been
having
it's
our
responsibility
to
do
more
and
just
to
put
it
in
context
for
the
city
of
san
jose.
It's
estimated
that
a
loss
of
20
million
dollars
occurs
every
year
for
mwbes
or
minority
women-owned
business
enterprises,
because
there
are
too
many
barriers
for
them
to
participate
since
the
elimination
of
our
previous
program
back
in
2000,
so
doing
a
quick
back
of
the
envelope
calculation.
L
If
you,
if
you,
if
you're
talking
about
20
years
at
20
million
a
year,
that's
400
million
dollars
and
if
you
calculate
a
3x
multiplier
in
terms
of
that
dollar,
you
know
circulating
in
the
community.
You
know
we're
talking
about
1.2
billion
dollars
that
did
not
go
into
our
community.
So
we
talk
about.
You
know,
what's
going
on
on
the
east
side
and
council,
member
carrasco's
district
and
esparza
and
perales
and
and
all
the
other
council
districts
there
have
communities
that
are,
are
really
struggling
and
challenging.
L
Just
imagine
what
one
point
do.
1.2
billion
dollars
could
have
done
to
create
wealth
and
lift
up
those
families
in
that
community,
as
outlined
in
our
memo
in
light
of
prop
16,
not
passing,
it
would
have
allowed
the
city
to
target
minority
groups
in
our
hiring
procurement
programs.
We
need
to
identify
alternative
strategies
to
level
the
playing
field
and
remove
barriers
that
are
preventing
disadvantaged
businesses
from
doing
business
with
the
city.
L
We
understand
that
a
disparity
study
can
be
used
to
determine
if
there
are
barriers
and
under
representation
in
the
city's
contractual
awards
based
on
race,
ethnicity,
socioeconomic
and
other
factors.
L
If
there
are
barriers
that
are
identified
and
underrepresented,
businesses
that
are
identified,
a
goal
can
be
determined
to
create
balance
within
the
system
and
again
level
the
playing
field
for
disadvantaged
businesses.
The
city
of
san,
diego,
has
completed
a
disparity
study
and
that
can
be
used
as
a
model
for
us
moving
forward.
L
We
requested.
We
are
requesting
that
the
administration
integrate
into
their
work
plan
moving
forward
the
recommendations
of
the
small
business
advisory
task
force.
These
recommendations
include
data
collection
and
evaluation
of
effective
strategies,
currently
we're
unable
to
collect
information
and
evaluate
the
effectiveness
of
our
current
strategies.
L
L
I
want
to
be
very
clear
that
any
policy
change
will
align
with
any
existing
city,
ordinances
or
agreements
so
prevailing
wage
wage
theft,
project,
labor
agreements.
This
policy
would
not
be
used
to
circumvent
any
legal
requirements
or
contractual
agreements.
L
L
A
disparity
study
will
lay
the
groundwork
in
enable
many
of
these
recommendations
to
get
the
city
on
track
to
strengthen
a
dbe
program.
We
understand
that
a
disparity
study
will
require
funding
and
thus
we
are
asking
staff
to
come
back
in
the
spring
with
the
proposals
to
be
included
in
our
annual
budget
process.
L
So
I
wanted
to
lay
all
that
out
to
again
frame
the
discussion
of
why
I'm
bringing
it
to
council
today
and
why
councilmember
reyes
is
bringing
it
to
council,
and
so
I
want
to
invite
the
staff
to
make
their
presentations
and
then,
after
the
public
has
their
comments.
I
will
make
the
motion
to
move
our
recommendations
forward.
A
All
right,
thank
you
very
much.
All
right
is
there
a
staff
presentation.
B
Yes,
thank
you.
Thank
you
mayor
vice
mayor
and
council
members,
matt
cano,
director
of
public
works
and
with
me
today
is
jennifer
chang
from
finance
and
dave
dave,
french
and
chris
hickey
from
the
department
of
public
works.
B
It's
a
this
is
a
joint
presentation
that
is
given
annually
to
the
ced
committee
from
finance
and
public
works,
and,
as
was
mentioned,
we
couldn't
give
it
in
november,
because
there
was
so
much
on
the
agenda,
and
so
we
appreciate
this
opportunity
to
give
the
presentation
today
on
contracting
with
local
and
small
businesses,
I'm
going
to
turn
over
to
jennifer
in
a
second
and
after
the
presentation.
I
will
briefly
summarize
the
administration's
response
to
the
memorandum
from
the
vice
mayor
and
council
member
uranus,
so
jennifer
I'll
turn
it
over
to
you.
D
Thank
you,
matt
hi,
everyone,
I'm
jennifer
chang,
I'm
the
deputy
director
in
finance,
purchasing
and
risk
management.
I'll
just
start
off
in
the
presentation.
Just
to
give
a
little
bit
of
background
for
finance
purchasing
is
responsible
for
the
procurement
of
equipment,
goods
and
non-consulting
services
here
at
the
city.
So
some
examples
include
you
know:
fire
trucks,
maintenance,
repair
services,
landscaping,
fuel
software
and
it
systems.
D
Last
year,
in
fiscal
year,
1920
we
spent
approximately
310
million
dollars
on
these
types
of
purchases,
where
local
business
spend
was
estimated
to
be
about
25
and
small
business
award
about
7
percent
of
the
total
spend.
In
addition,
just
over
13
million
dollars
was
spent
using
the
city's
procurement
cards,
also
known
as
p
cards.
P
cards
are
designed
to
facilitate
small
dollar
dollar
transactions,
and
we
estimate
about
29
of
total
p
card
transactions
was
awarded
to
local
businesses.
D
Unfortunately,
this
past
calendar
year
finance
was
unable
to
expand
our
efforts
in
participating
in
local
small
minority
business,
outreach
events
due
to
decoded
my
team
pandemic.
Normally,
we
aim
to
attend
at
least
one
one
event
a
quarter
and
in
fact,
in
calendar
year
night
2019.
We
attended
six
events
this
year
due
to
the
pandemic,
we
did
attend
one,
the
virtual
silicon
valley,
heritage
expo,
which
was
held
last
month,
and
we
will
continue
to
coordinate
with
the
office
of
economic
development
and
our
partners
in
public
works
to
seek
opportunities
to
participate
in
more
as
appropriate.
D
So
this
slide
here
shows
the
trend
in
purchase
order,
activity
and
contract
spent
by
overall
dollars
and
by
local
and
small
business
spend.
So
if
you
look
at
that
last
bar
there
you'll
see
that
in
the
last
fiscal
year,
2019
20
or
2019
to
20
overall
spend
at
310
million
dollars
increase
about
50
million
dollars
over
prior
year,
and
there
are
several
reasons
for
this.
But
one
key
reason
is
that,
due
to
the
pandemic,
the
finance
department
delayed
our
normal
competitive
bidding
process,
so
staff
can
focus
on
prioritizing
emergency
and
contracting
efforts
for
the
eoc.
D
So,
as
a
result,
departments
were
allowed
to
extend
and
and
increase
many
existing
purchase
orders
by
six
months.
Other
factors
included,
you
know
the
increase
in
existing
purchase,
orders
to
address
emergency
and
exigent
purchases
for
the
pandemic,
such
as
ppe,
cleaning
supplies,
services
for
shelters,
etc,
as
well
as
several
notable
council
approved
high
dollar
purchases,
such
as
the
purchase
of
new
fire
apparatuses
and
the
windows
10
upgrade
project.
D
D
This
slide
shows
the
trend
and
number
of
purchase,
orders
and
contracts
awarded
by
fiscal
year,
broken
up
by
local,
small
and
other
businesses
in
1920.
The
total
number
of
the
purchase
orders
and
agreements
at
2013
represents
a
slight
decrease
of
about
three
percent
compared
to
prior
year,
and
similarly,
we
see
similar
trends
in
the
estimated
local
and
small
business
award,
as
in
the
previous
slide.
M
All
right,
thank
you.
Jennifer
good
evening,
mayor
licardo,
council
members,
david
french
division
manager,
public
works
so
before
jumping
into
the
data
you
see
here.
I
just
want
to
provide
a
little
context
that
relates
to
construction
contracts,
so
I'll
be
providing
the
data
in
regards
to
our
major
construction
contracts,
and
then
talking
about
the
programs
and
policy
changes
that
were
made
for
minor
construction
contracts
and
major
construction
contracts
are
contracts
that
have
a
value
of
over
600
000
and
minor.
Construction
contracts
are
those
contracts
that
are
under
600
000..
M
So,
looking
at
the
slide
here
for
major
construction
contracts,
the
capital
program
awarded
63
contracts,
totaling
approximately
191
million
last
fiscal
year,
32
of
those
63
contracts
were
awarded
to
local
contractors
and
21
were
awarded
to
the
local
contractors,
who
were
also
small.
So
this
equated
to
local
contractors
being
awarded
28
of
the
total
dollars,
which
is
about
53
million
and
local
contractors,
who
are
also
small,
were
awarded
six
percent
of
the
total
dollars
of
about
12
million
next
likely
jennifer.
M
So
so
I'm
sorry,
I
jumped
ahead
of
myself
fo
before
we
get
into
this
slide.
The
capital
program
also
procures
consultant
services
to
assist
the
city
in
various
tasks
as
it
relates
to
delivering
projects.
The
program
awarded
29
contracts,
totaling
approximately
72
million
dollars,
62
percent
of
the
29
contracts
were
awarded
to
local
businesses
and
28
percent
were
local
were
awarded
to
small
business,
assuming
small
businesses.
M
This
equated
to
the
local
businesses
being
awarded.
82
percent
of
the
total
dollar
spend,
which
was
about
59
million,
and
the
small
businesses
were
awarded
30
3
percent
of
the
total
dollars,
which
is
translated
to
about
24
million
dollars.
So
this
slide.
Looking
at
the
past
five
years,
you
can
see
that
the
program
saw
a
significant
increase
last
fiscal
year,
the
percentage
of
major
contracts
awarded
to
local
small
contractors
in
fiscal
year
1819.
We
we
did
see
a
decrease
in
that
percentage
from
the
previous
years.
M
M
next
slide,
please
so
looking
at
our
consultant
contracts,
so
the
five-year
data
shows
a
program
had
a
downward
tick
from
last
fiscal
year.
However,
we
did
remain
around
the
five-year
average
for
local
business
awards
and
we
are
above
the
five-year
average
for
our
small
business
awards
next
slide.
Please.
M
So
we
must
be
proactive
to
ensure
that
we
are
we're
building
our
community
building
our
city
with
our
community
by
providing
opportunities
to
local
and
local
small
businesses
and
to
accomplish
this,
the
public
works
department
created
the
public
works
contracting
program,
which
has
implemented
initiatives
and
policy
changes
which
I
referred
to
earlier
in
regards
to
our
minor
contracts.
M
So
the
first
public
is
the
public
works
academy.
The
academy
is
made
up
of
opportunity,
awareness
events
which
are
geared
and
notifying
local
contracting
community
of
upcoming
bid
opportunities,
as
well
as
notifying
them
of
other
opportunities.
The
academy
has
to
offer
such
as
the
contracting
seminars.
M
The
academy
also
offers
educational
workshops
which
hyper
focus
on
varying
contract
contracting
topics,
and
I
have
some
data
on
the
most
the
most
recent
contracting
seminars
that
we
conducted
last
year
and
I'll
get
to
that
in
just
a
moment
here.
M
M
One
of
the
policy
changes
that
was
implemented
was
the
addition
yeah
sorry
more.
M
One
of
the
policy
changes
that
was
implemented
was
the
addition
of
the
local
small
preference
for
minor
contracts,
and
this
policy
made
it
a
requirement
that
the
director
of
public
works
gave
a
two
two
and
a
half
percent
credit
for
local
contractors
and
two
and
a
half
percent
preference
for
local
contractors,
who
are
also
small
when
bidding
on
contracts
on
minor
contracts,
which
are
six
hundred
thousand
and
less
so.
M
This
preference
was
applied
onto
all
eligible
contracts
last
fiscal
year,
however,
no
contracts
were
awarded
due
to
the
application
of
the
preference,
thus
far,
next
slide,
please
jim.
M
I
also
wanted
to
provide
you
some
data
on
the
types
of
contractors
that
attended
the
seminars
too,
as
well,
and
the
types
of
contracts
that
made
up
the
class
and
the
general
contractors
were
the
highest
represented
type
of
contractor,
and
those
are
our
target.
Audience
is
general
contractors,
so
we're
very
happy
to
see
that
and
there's
many
groups
to
thank
for
the
support
and
helping
us
achieve
these
numbers.
M
But
I
really
wanted
to
focus
and
say
a
personal
thank
you
to
vice
mayor
jones
and
the
small
and
everyone
that's
involved
in
small
business
advisory
task
force
for
their
support
in
this
program.
They've
been
instrumental
in
getting
the
word
out
and
helping
people
get
enrolled
next
slide,
please.
M
Alum
rock
falls
road
slope
repair
was
completed
by
granite
rock
company
who's,
a
local,
a
local
business,
one
more
slide,
john,
and
also
the
vine
safety
street
light
improvement
project
with
was
completed
by
pacific
electric
company
who's,
a
local
business
and
finally,
the
guadalupe
gardens
burling
owl
habitat
was
completed
by
gala,
paving
who's,
a
local
and
small
business,
and
so
that
completes
this
presentation
I'll
go
ahead
and
hand
it
back
to
matt
cano
who
will
wrap
it
up.
B
Thank
you
david.
I
mean
I
just
you
know
we
truly
recognize
and
embrace
the
value
of
not
just
building
our
community
but
building
our
community
with
our
community
and
reinvesting
those
dollars
locally,
and
what
I
wanted
to
briefly
address
is
the
memory
the
items
in
the
miranda
memorandum
from
vice
mayor
jones
and
councilmember,
uranus
and
so
I'll
start
with
the
third
and
fourth
items
that
are.
Regarding
the
disparity
study.
B
B
The
letter
discusses
that
we
could
further
explore
that
during
it
as
if
a
disparity
study
moves
forward
and-
and
we
definitely
would
support
continuing
to
look
at
ways
that
we
could
continue
to
provide
ways
that
we
may
be
able
to
provide
preferences
either
as
part
of
a
disparity
study
or
as
just
on
a
parallel
path,
with
the
disparity
study,
if
that
does
move
forward.
B
The
second
item
on
the
letter
is
regarding
breaking
down
of
major
to
minor
contracts
and,
as
a
vice
mayor
pointed
out
anything
that
we
did
associated
with.
That
would
need
to
be
aligned
with
all
other
laws
and
and
policies
we.
This
is
something
that
we
I've
already
talked
about
a
lot
in
public
works
and
some
other
departments
about
at
the
early
stages
of
project.
How
do
we
not
as
project
managers,
just
look
at
what
is
the
cheapest
and
fastest
way
to
get
this
done?
B
But
we
also
look
is
how
do
we
get
this
done
and
are
there
also
options
to
do
it
differently,
to
engage
smaller
prime
contractors
and
or
create
opportunities
for
local
subs
to
bid
on
the
bigger
projects?
And
so
the
conversations
about
do
we
do
large
projects
or
multiple
smaller
projects
are
taking
place,
and
we
definitely
support
enhancing
and
increasing
those
conversations
across
across
departments
to
encourage
and
make
sure
all
of
our
project
managers
are
thinking
along
those
lines
of
how
do
we
as
we
move
forward
the
promoter
create
matchmaking?
B
This
is
something
that,
as
part
of
the
opportunity,
awareness
events
and
the
construction
academy
that
david
talked
about,
we
can
start
a.
I
would
call
a
light
version
of
a
matchmaking
program
to
link
up
contractors,
prime
and
subcontractors,
in
the
future,
with
additional
resources,
we
would
love
to
create
a
much
more
robust
program
and
that's
something
we'll
continue
to
look
at
opportunities
to
do.
In
the
meantime,
we
will
be
implementing
you
know,
ways
for
subs
and
primes
to
get
together
through
the
academy
that
we're
running
and
from
a
benchmarking
standpoint
for
future
annual
reports.
B
We
we
would
definitely
will
definitely
look
at
benchmarking
against
other
agencies
and
cities
to
see
how
you
know
what
what
what
numbers,
what
is
it?
What
is
a
good
number?
What
is
a
good
rate
of
local
participation?
What
is
our
goal,
and
so
we'll
start
talking
about
that
more
in
future
reports,
and
so
with.
That
concludes
our
presentation,
we're
open
for
any
questions.
A
N
I
was
muted
thank
you
very
much
good
evening,
everyone
that
was
that
was
a
great
presentation,
mayor
council
members
vice
mayor
jones,
excuse
me
and
council
member
uranus.
This
is
this
is
wonderful
that
this
is
happening.
I'd
like
to
read
our
letter
from
minority
business
consortium
to
you,
the
minority,
business
consortium,
silicon
valley's,
foremost,
diversity
and
inclusion.
Contracting
firm,
writes
this
letter
in
support
of
the
city
of
san
jose,
engaging
in
a
disparity
study
in
california.
N
Disparity
studies
generally
focus
on
economic
issues
involving
mwbes
competing
for
local
and
state
government
agency
contracts.
An
economic
disparity
study
will
provide
government
agencies,
analysis
and
insight
to
help
determine
if
access
to
government
contracts
has
unfairly
been
denied
to
minority
women
and
other
other
owned
businesses.
The
results
and
outcomes
of
the
study
will
help
these
local
government
agencies
access
the
need
for
changing
procurement,
contracting
and
or
emergency
policies
and
practices
allow
them
to
develop
procedural
changes
or
new
programs
to
create
greater
equity.
N
Nbc
is
proud
to
have
worked
on
the
most
recent
local
disparity
study
in
the
county
of
santa
clara
and
strengthened
the
development,
implementation
of
race,
gender,
neutral
diversity
and
inclusion.

Educational
contracting
on
the
basis
of

and

was
adopted
by

with

whether
or

N
E
A
N
Ahead,
stop
let
me
get
back,
oh
with
the
defeat
of
prop
16
in
california,
a
proposition
to
overturn
prop
209,
except
that
legal
remedy
is
to
begin
with
a
disparity
study
to
assess
whether
there
are
implicit
or
explicit
barriers
in
contracting
opportunities
for
minority
and
women-owned
businesses.
This
tool
assists
in
determining
through
extensive
research,
whether
there's
discrimination
in
government
procurement
and
contracting
processes,
given
the
frailty
of
small
businesses
impacted
by
covet
19,
particularly
the
importance
of
economic
of
economic
disparity
study
for
the
city
of
san
jose
is
more
important.
Now
than
ever.
N
O
No,
where
is
it
all
good
evening?
Everyone?
This
is
angelica
cortez,
the
vice
president
of
racial
justice
and
equity,
with
the
silicon
valley
leadership
group
we're
a
san
jose-based
public
policy
trade
association
of
nearly
350
technology
companies.
I'd
like
to
express
the
leadership
group's
support
for
conducting
a
disparity
study
to
assess
the
needs
and
gaps
around
contractor
diversity
in
the
city,
with
an
emphasis
on
promoting
women
in
minority-led
businesses
and
understanding
the
influences
that
create
their
under-representation
in
securing
large
public
contracts.
O
We
understand
the
legal
challenges
around
this
issue,
especially
given
the
leadership
group's
own
support
and
advocacy
for
the
passage
of
prop
16,
and
because
of
this
we
applaud
vice
mayor
jones
and
council
member
uranus's
sponsorship
to
move
forward
to
conduct
this
disparity
study.
We
recognize
that
this
issue
is
one
squarely
planted
in
racial
equity.
O
We
know
that
empirical
data
and
studies
support
that
women
in
minority-owned
businesses
lose
an
estimated
1.1
billion
a
year
statewide,
as
you
all
read,
and
an
estimated
20
million
annually
in
the
city,
as
vice
mayor
jones,
mentioned
earlier,
in
public
contract
dollars
to
larger
businesses,
and
despite
these
realities,
women
and
minority
business
owners.
Also,
our
neighbors
continue
to
contribute
to
the
richness
of
our
community
through
their
tax
dollars,
creation
of
jobs
and
consumer
power,
so
in
our
calls
to
build
a
more
inclusive
economic
future
for
all
and
for
everyone
in
our
community.
O
A
Thank
you
dennis
king.
E
Mr
mayor,
can
you
hear
now?
Yes,
okay,
thank
you.
So,
mr
mayor
council
members
good
evening,
my
name
is
dennis
king,
I'm,
the
executive
director
of
the
hispanic
chamber
of
commerce,
I'm
also
honored,
to
serve
as
the
vice
chair
of
the
small
business
advisory
task
force.
Speaking
tonight
as
a
vigorous
support
of
councilmember
uranus
and
vice
mayor
chappie
jones
recommendation
for
a
disparity
study.
E
You
know
this
has
been
a
terrible
year,
a
difficult
difficult
year
for
the
whole
community,
but
we've
been
reminded
that
the
issues
of
health
and
safety
and
our
economy
are
interconnected
and
that
we're
all
in
this
community
together.
We
know
that
coved
won't
last
forever,
and
so
it
raises
the
question
about
that.
When
it's
gone
to
what
extent
to
what
extent
to
those
of
us
that
have
shared
the
misery
of
covid,
to
what
extent
can
we
share
in
the
times
of
prosperity?
E
We
know
the
government
creating
government
contracting,
creates
jobs
and
creates
wealth,
but
we
don't
have
a
good
handle
on
what
that
actually
means
to
our
community
we're
in
the
dark
and
in
that
sense
a
disparity
study
is
a
measuring
stick
of
our
economy.
A
measuring
stick
of
the
progress
of
us
as
a
community
and
if
we're
really
concerned
about
our
community
being
involved
with
being
inclusive
and
just
then
this
is
a
tool
just
for
that.
It
basically
sheds
light
in
the
darkness
about
what's
going
on.
E
As
a
personal
comment,
I
need
to
make
a
comment
that
this
is
not
a
complaint.
I
have
a
great
respect
for
mike
kano,
david
french,
chris
hickey,
because
they
are
really
making
the
effort.
I
mean
what
they
didn't
say.
Their
slogan
is
building
our
city
with
the
community.
It
used
to
be
building
our
city
for
the
community.
So
for
them
to
be
inclusive
and
say
with
the
committee
to
me,
it
tells
me
hey
these
people
got
it.
Let's
give
them
the
tools
to
help
them
become
even
more
effective
than
they
have
been.
Thank
you.
A
Thank
you
ray
duran.
N
Hello
hi
ray
oh
good
evening,
honorable
mayor
and
vice
mayor
and
city
council.
This
is
ray
duran
with
the
rank
construction
group
and
we're
a
local
and
small
contractor
here
in
san
jose,
and
I
just
wanted
to
call
and
speak
on
behalf
of
the
measure
that
vice
mayor
jones
and
councilwoman
arenas
is
proposing
to
move
forward.
We
are
a
contractor
that
has
taken
place
in
the
various
public
works
academies,
the
one
for
public
works
and
just
recently
the
one
for
parks
and
we're
anxiously
waiting
to
see.
N
A
turnout
as
to
what
turns
out
so
I'm
happy
to
say
that
we
are
hopefully
one
of
the
26
contractors
that
have
been
pre-approved
through
the
efforts
of
matt
kanel
public
works,
director,
matt
cano
and
david
friends
and
chris
hickey.
And
it's
given
us
a
great
opportunity
for
someone
like
us.
N
That
is
not
like
the
granite
rocks
or
the
granite
constructions
of
the
world
to
actually
have
an
opportunity
to
meet
individuals
such
as
themselves,
who
attended
the
public
works
academy.
So
we
would
like
to
see
that
you
move
forward
with
disparity
study
so
that
companies
such
as
ours
and
other
companies
here
in
san
jose
or
santa
clara
county
of
our
size
and
who
have.
N
We
have
worked
hard
in
obtaining
our
small
business
and
to
continue
to
be
diverse
and
recently
just
been
recognized
for
a
woman-owned
certification,
so
that
we
can
continue
to
work
here
in
santa
clara
county
in
the
city
of
san
jose,
where
we
were
born
and
raised
and
continue
to
live.
And
we
have
about
19
employees
that
count
on
us
that
have
their
family.
So
we
would
like
to
support
chappie
jones
and
soviet
and
us,
and
we
hope,
honorable
mayor,
that
you
would
move
forward
with
this
study.
A
Thank
you,
sir
reginald
swilley
welcome.
E
Mayor,
it's
good
to
be
here.
Congratulations
to
all
our
new
council
people.
This
is
a.
This
is
a
very
good
move
that
I
think
the
city
could
make
putting
emphasis
on
these.
These
small
and
diverse
businesses
in
this
city
that
can
help
build
up
the
structure
of
this
city
and
and
we
can
build
wealth
coming
out
of
our
communities
from
one
generation
to
the
next.
We
can
build
some
infrastructure
if
those
millions
of
dollars
that
that
the
vice
mayor
brought
up
were
in
these
communities.
E
The
city
would
not
have
to
be
as
as
as
fourth
right
and
stepping
out
to
help
some
of
these
communities.
We
think
that
there
is
a
way
minority
business
from
the
consortium
think
that
there
is
a
way
to
be
serious
about
this,
to
do
some
analysis
about
finding
out
what
the
lay
of
the
land
is,
and
there
are
some
unique
ways
of
bringing
companies
such
as
ray
ray
duran's
into
the
process.
E
We
know
there's
a
lot
of
companies
that
are
dying
now
because
of
covert.
They
were
just
hanging
on
the
edge
and
and
the
level
of
diversity
that
should
be
showing
up
in
the
in
the
contracting
processes
in
the
city.
We
need
to
know
what
that
is,
and
we
need
to
know
why
it's
not
as
strong
as
it
should
be,
and
the
level
of
security
that
these
companies
have
there's
lev
there's
a
lot
of
tools
we
can
use.
E
We
can
use
how
we
how
they
get
paid,
how
we
put
together
bonding
programs
how
we
put
together
some
other
infrastructural
programs
and
this
city
will
be
the
better
for
it.
I'm
praying
that
this
city
council
really
get
this
issue,
because
it's
easy
to
let
the
big
guys
continue
to
do
everything,
but
it
takes
a
commitment
to
do
the
work
to
build
the
infrastructure
so
that
the
so
that
the
companies
in
our
community
can
be
successful.
Please
pass
this
measure.
Q
Thank
you-
and
I
want
to-
I
want
to
thank
our
vice
mayor
for
his
leadership
in
all
things
related
to
small
businesses
and
businesses
in
general.
Q
Really,
I
think
when
our
our
city
is
doing
well
economically,
we
all
benefit
from
from
that
fact,
and
and
and
much
more,
I
think
on
small
businesses-
and
this
is
just
my
opinion-
not
not
reflective
of
what
vice
mayor,
what
I'm
highlighting
about
vice
mayor,
but
I
know
that,
throughout
the
time
that
I
have
served,
you've
always
led
very
strongly
with
our
small
businesses
in
any
way
that
you
can.
You
help
shape
policies
and
I'm
really
proud
to
join
you
in
this
effort.
Q
I
know
we
you
have
been
leading,
I
just
chip
away
at
things,
but
I
know
that
you
lead,
and
so
I'm
grateful
that
that
you're
doing
that.
One
of
the
things
that
that
that
I
know
about
our
community,
especially
the
small
business
community,
is
that
they're,
mostly
minor
minority
owned
businesses
and
they
and
you
know,
they're
the
backbone
of
our
of
our
of
our
city,
of
our
taxes
and-
and
you
know
during
this
very
difficult
time
and
post
covet.
Q
I
hope,
because
necessity
is,
is
really
the
the
mother
of
all
invention
and
our
folks
in
the
small
business
community
really
just
are
incredibly
creative
on
how
to
get
ahead,
to
make
sure
that
they
keep
food
on
the
table
for
their
children
and
their
families.
Q
And-
and
I
want
to
continue
to
to
support
that,
because
I
do
feel
that
we
have
to
make
sure
that
we
have
an
economic
path,
a
future
for
for
all
businesses
and
say
some
of
these
small
businesses
may
make
close
up
shop
momentarily
but
reinvent
themselves,
somehow
and
come
back
into
our
business
community.
Q
And
so
I'm
grateful
that
you
that
you're,
leading
this
and
and
despite
having
this
loss
of
prop
16
that
we're
going
to
continue
in
this
path
in
in
making
sure
that
our
small
businesses
benefit
from
all
of
what
we
are
doing
and
that
we
have
this
contractor
diversity
right.
I
think
it
was,
I
can't
remember
which
of
the
speakers,
but
they
said
you
know
this.
Q
This
diversity
study
is
really
going
to
be
our
measuring
stick
and
it's
going
to
show
us
the
lay
of
the
land,
and
I
think
that
we're
very
proud
and
I
gotta-
I
have
to
also
recognize
matt
cano
in
in
his
department
and
in
his
efforts
to
make
sure
in
making
sure
that
smaller
businesses
can
take
a
bite
of
this
big
apple,
that
is
city
of
san
jose
contracts
and
that
they
set
them
up
for
success.
Q
And
so
I
know
with
our
pavement
program-
and
I
I
think,
as
you
all
have
seen
in
our
in
their
powerpoint
presentation,
our
small
businesses
really
were
able
to
take
a
smaller
bite
and
if
they
can't
they
can
go
to
those
workshops
and
seminars
really
be
part
of
this
learning
community.
Q
That's
going
to
allow
them
later
on
to
to
take
a
bigger
bite
of
that
apple,
and
so
thank
you
so
much
matt
cano
for
all
the
work
that
you're
doing
and
and
of
course,
d.o.t
and
john's
under
john's
leadership,
because
I
know
that
it
takes
more
than
just
one
department
to
get
this
to
flourish.
Q
And
so
you
know,
there's
nothing
really
much
more
than
I
can
say
other
than
just
to
recognize
people
for
the
good
work
that
they
are
doing.
I
really
hope
that
our
colleagues
can
support
this.
This
is
something
that
I
think
that
we
need
to
make
sure
happens
so
that
we
recognize.
Where
is
it
that
that
there
are
some
gaps
right?
I
think
we're
doing
great
in
our
contracting
path,
but
maybe
we're
not
doing
so
hot
somewhere
else.
Q
Maybe
we
we
need
to
really
support
the
women,
so
I
I
look
forward
to
the
disparity
study.
I
know
that
I
had
toggled
in
our
my
my
resolution
for
prop
16
a
study
if
the
proposition
passed,
and
so
I'm
really
grateful
that
vice
mayor,
that
you
are
really
leading
this
charge
now
that
we
don't
have
that
win
in
california,
but
in
our
city,
I'm
sure
that
we
are
going
to
continue
to
win
under
your
leadership,
and
so
thank
you.
A
Thank
you,
councilman,
and
I
know
I
just
saw
the
text
you
sent
me
that
picario
is
trying
to
get
in.
I
just
texted
him
to
see.
If
he's
trying
to
jump
on,
I
don't
see
him
in
the
waiting
room.
Q
I
think
anxious
to
to
get
his
message
out
and
I
won't
speak
for
him,
but
but
I'm
I
just
I
do
want
to
say
that
there's
some
folks
who
who
spoke-
and
I
forgot
to
say
this
but
right
around-
I
haven't-
had
a
follow-up
conversation
with
you
ray,
but
I
know
that
you've
shared
with
me
you're
angst
about
small
businesses
and
having
those
small
businesses
getting
the
game
of
of
city
contracts.
Q
And
so
you
know
I
just
want
to
let
you
know
and
let
our
our
public
know
that
when
we
have
these
these
conversations
with
you
out
there
at
that
time,
you
know
it
was
of
course
non-covet.
So
we
were
at
an
event
like
normal
people
celebrating
and
enjoying
each
other's
company,
and
this
is
part
of
the
insight
that
we
get
from
our
community
and
their
challenges
that
they
have.
Q
And
so
that's
why
we're
here
as
policy
makers,
to
make
sure
that
we
in
due
time,
have
some
solutions
to
to
some
of
those
issues.
And
so
thank
you
right
for
for
calling
in
and
sharing
your
experience
and
and
so
proud
that
that
is
a
female
owned
business
that
you're
under.
So
congratulations
and
I
I
don't
know
if,
if
it's
coming
in
but.
A
Yeah
he
just
texted
me
saying
his
browser
is
not
cooperating
trying
but
I'll
text
him
to
try
the
phone
number,
no
problem.
A
Anyway,
okay,
hopefully
he
can
get
on.
I
want
to
say
thank
you
to
vice
mayor
jones.
I
know
you've
been
working
on
this
for
some
time
and
the
council
member
uranus,
and
to
many
community
members
advocating
for
small
business
and
thank
you
for
your
work
and
thanks
to
staff
for
their
work.
I'd
only
asked
one
small
request,
which
is
as
we're
working
through
this
issue
around
breaking
up
contracts
into
smaller
bytes,
which
is
very
often
a
very
good
thing
to
do.
I
know
there
are
some.
A
B
A
Okay
appreciate
that,
as
long
as
we're
all
operating
with
the
with
all
the
facts
on
the
table
as
we're
making
these
decisions-
okay,
great
councilman
race,
your
hand
is
still
up.
Did
you
have
something
you
want
to
follow.
Q
One
more
time
mayor,
because
I
thank
you
for
bringing
that
point
up
and
my
intention
regarding
this.
This
memo
is
really
not
to
circumvent
the
labor
standards
and
laws
and
to
prevent
plas
from
from
happening
in
in
projects.
Q
That
is
absolutely
not
my
intention,
and
so
we
made
sure,
and
if
you
read
through
our
background,
it
reflects
that
to
ensure
that
that
we're
not
circumventing
and
that
we're
not
breaking
up
bigger
projects
into
smaller
projects
to
circumvent
labor
laws,
because
that's
not
the
intention.
The
intention
here
is
to
have
our
small
businesses
benefit.
A
Okay,
thank
you
all
right,
then.
I
think
that's
it
for
folks
who
raised
their
hands.
So,
let's
vote
on
the
motion,
I
actually
have.
L
Motion
to
approve
mine
and
council
member
arrays
is
his
memo.
E
A
All
right
item
3.6
is
report
on
bids
and
awarded
construction
on
a
fire
department,
training
center,
an
emergency
operation
center
project.
A
It
is
going
to
be
heard
concurrently
with
an
item
on
the
san
jose
financing
authority
agenda,
so
I'll
call
that
meeting
to
order
as
well
of
the
san
jose
financing
authority,
welcome
to
all
of
our
financing
authority
members-
and
that
is
item
one-
the
issuance
of
city
of
san
jose
financing
authority,
commercial
paper,
notes
for
fire
department,
training,
center
and
emergency
operations,
relocation
project
and
I
believe,
we're
going
to
vote
first
on
the
financing
authority
item.
A
That
requires
a
two-thirds
vote
and
then
we'll
move
on
to
item
3.6,
so
we'll
hear
them
all
together,
but
we'll
vote
in
that
order.
So
it'll
be
first
financing
authority.
Then
3.6
and
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you
for
to
staff
for
moving
forward
so
aggressively
on
these
many
measure
t
projects
that
affect
our
public
safety
or
quality
of
life.
It's
great
to
see
this
one
getting
ready
to
get
a
shovel
on
the
ground.
So
we
now
have
a
presentation.
A
F
The
actions
today
related
to
the
commercial
paper
program
are
to
ensure
that
we
have
sufficient
funds
available
to
award
the
contract
for
the
fire
department,
training
center
and
the
emergency
operations
center
conduct.
A
public
hearing
related
to
the
commercial
paper
notes
and
then
have
the
authority
adopt
a
resolution
authorizing
commercial.
F
On
the
next
page,
we
have
a
summary
of
the
total
project
funding
uses.
So
these
two
projects
are
as
public
works
will
talk
about,
are
being
awarded
together.
So
together
they
total
just
over
87
million
dollars
and
that's
the
breakdown
excuse
me
there,
the
construction
costs
and
then
a
lot
of
the
soft
costs,
some
work
that
needs
to
be
done
at
the
central
service
yard,
some
administration
costs
and
then,
as
a
reminder,
the
land
acquisition
costs
that
were
done
last
year.
F
When
we
acquired
that
piece
of
property
between
the
two
city
facilities
and
on
the
next
slide,
we
have
the
source
of
funding.
So
a
large
bargain
of
funding
comes
from
the
sale
proceeds
from
the
existing
site,
where
the
fire
training
center
is
located
from
google
36.8
million
dollars
and
then
measure
t
money
of
the
21.5
and
then
some
grants.
F
There
is
a
gap
we
have
between
the
8.4
million
that
it
will
be
available
for
the
project,
but
they're
not
in
hand
yet,
and
the
cash
needs
to
be
in
hand
in
order
for
us
to
award
the
project.
So
that's
the
remaining
sale
proceeds
from
google,
a
4.2
million
and
then
the
next
issuance
of
measure
t
bond
financing
which
we
expect
to
happen
in
the
summer
of
2021
of
another
4.2
million.
So
the
project
does
have
a
shortfall,
approximately
15
million
dollars,
in
addition
to
the
delay
of
the
8.4.
F
F
So
the
program
is
secured
by
two
letter
of
credits,
one
with
state
street
and
one
with
u.s
bank,
each
at
62.5
million
and
those
letter
credits
expire
in
february
of
22
and
they'll
either
need
to
be
renewed
or
extended
or
replaced
so
based
on
the
city's
strong
credit
and
the
short-term
nature
of
the
borrowing
and
the
highly
rated
bank
locs
are
all
in
costs.
To
borrow
under
the
commercial
paper
program
are
under
one
percent,
which
is
much
lower
than
issuing
fixed
rate
30-year
bonds.
F
So,
on
the
next
slide,
you
can
just
see
kind
of
a
history
of
what
our
borrowing
costs
have
been
for
both
tax-exempt
and
taxable
cp
over
the
last
five
years,
and
so
our
projections
for
the
current
fiscal
year,
as
you
can
see,
are
clearly
sub
1,
looking
about
72
to
73
basis
points.
So
on
the
next
slide.
Just
to
give
an
overview
of,
we
have
approximately
have
62
million
dollars
in
commercial
paper
notes
outstanding.
F
The
bulk
of
that
is
for
the
south
hall
site
that
the
city
acquired
from
the
former
redevelopment
agency
about
a
year
and
a
half
ago,
and
then
there
is
about
3.2
million
outstanding
for
the
central
service
yard.
Some
esko
projects,
convention
center
exhibit
hall
work
and
then
a
tiny
bit
of
flood
still
outstanding.
F
And
then,
when
we
look
at
the
commercial
paper
program
in
terms
of
125
million,
this
summarizes
kind
of
what
is
essentially
available
for
the
projects.
So,
as
you
mentioned
about
62
million
outstanding,
we
still
have
about
15
million
that
the
council's
authorized
for
flood
projects
likely
that
that
won't
be
used
at
all.
So
we'll
probably
release
that
at
some
point
and
then
this
project
is
23.4,
which
leaves
the
capacity
after
approval
of
the
23.4
of
about
25
million
dollars
of
unused
cp
capacity.
B
Thank
you,
julia
matt,
cano
again.
Thank
you,
mayor
and
city
council
on
presenting
this
portion
with
me
today
is
our
public
safety
program
manager
in
public
works.
Dominic
conorado.
B
First,
I'd
like
to
thank
dominic
for
leading
this
project
on
for
for
public
works
as
well
as
tala
fatal
azadeh
who's
been
managing
with
them,
as
well
as
our
designer
10
over
studios
and
our
awesome
partners
from
finance
budget
attorney's
office,
emergency
management,
fire
and
others
next
slide.
Please
so
there's
two
projects
as
julia
mentioned
here,
but
we've
combined
them
into
one,
as
has
been
reported
to
council.
In
the
last
few
measure,
t
reports
we've
we've.
B
We
are
putting
the
combined
fire
training
center
and
emergency
operations
center
at
this
at
the
central
service
yard,
between
the
central
service
share
facilities
and
municipal
stadium.
It's
the
synergy
of
having
these
two
together
works,
really
well,
for
example,
in
major
emergencies
really
major
emergencies.
B
The
emergency
operations
can
actually
take
over
all
or
a
significant
portion
of
the
fire
training
center
and
there's
a
lot
of
synergy
with
those
two
departments
being
together
in
a
central
location
where
a
lot
of
other
city
services
are
located,
and
this
vicinity
map
shows
you
the
location
that
has
again
we've
been
discussing
at
the
past
few
measure,
t
reports
and
excited
to
be
in
front
of
you
for
the
project
award
recommendation
today
next
slide.
B
Please,
and
now,
I'm
going
to
turn
over
to
dominic
to
share
with
you
more
information
on
the
project.
J
Thank
you
matt
good
evening,
mayor
and
council
members,
dominic
conorado
from
public
works.
As
you
can
see,
the
site
is
located
south
of
solar
for
america
and
municipal
stadium.
The
site
that
we
acquired
last
year
is
approximately
4.5
acres
and
to
the
south
of
the
site.
We
have
a
central
service
yard
within
central
service
yard.
We
also
are
using
an
approximately
one
acre
portion
of
the
site
and
we're
also
going
to
utilize
building
b4
for
the
fire
department,
equipment
and
vehicles.
J
Next
slide:
here's
this
construction
site
plan
to
the
to
the
right.
We
have
center
road
to
the
left.
We
have
a
10th
street
so
once
again
the
new
site,
the
new
site,
will
be
composed
of
the
primarily
parking
and
also
the
training
tower,
and
also
around
the
training
tower
we're
going
to
have
the
the
various
components
for
the
training
activities
for
the
fire
department.
J
The
two
grey
boxes,
that's
building
one
and
building
two
building.
One
is
a
two
story:
thirty
two
thousand
square
foot
building
and
building
two,
which
is
the
lower
gray
box.
That's
a
single
story:
11
000
square
foot,
building
that
building
will
be
primarily
the
eoc
building
and
that
building
will
need
to
meet
the
the
1.5
seismic
rating
of
the
of
the
seismic
code
to
the
left.
J
You're
going
to
see
the
building
d4,
which
is
it
will
be
upgraded
to
for
the
use
of
the
fire
department,
equipment,
storage
and
vehicles,
and
I
did
mention
that
the
training
tower
training
grounds
next
slide.
J
J
The
project
is
also
the
second
in
the
city
designed
as
a
znc
zero
net
carbon
facility
and
implements
all
the
climate
smart,
san
jose
and
which
code
mandates.
The
project
will
also
have
1300
photovoltaic
panels.
It
will
have
micro
grids,
it
will
have
the
infrastructure
to
permanent
and
portable
battery
energy
storage
system,
and
it
will
have
electrical
vehicle
charging
stations
throughout.
J
The
purge
was
designed
to
respond
to
the
current
challenges
presented
by
cover
19
such
as
the
automatic
door
openers.
All
the
restrooms
fixtures
will
have
automatic
sensors.
There
will
be
also
numerous
private
offices
and
conference
rooms,
and
each
workstation
is
arranged,
so
the
work
surface
is
opposite
direction.
J
Let
me
see
next
slide
and
on
this
one
you're
gonna
see
this
is
the
the
lobby
as
soon
as
you're
into
the
lobby.
You
have
the
option
of
going
to
the
left,
to
the
eoc
or
to
the
right
to
the
building,
one,
which
is
primarily
the
fire
training
center.
J
The
next
picture
you
see
the
that
one
of
the
training
classrooms
we
have
approximately
six
20
classrooms
of
different
sizes
and
also
a
computer
classrooms,
plus
all
the
amenities
necessary
for
the
for
the
training
for
the
fire
department,
training
and
academy,
such
as
the
restrooms
showers
offices
and
so
forth.
Next
slide.
J
Thank
you.
We
have
the
this.
Is
the
emergency
operation
center
so
from
here?
This
is
the
main
open
office
up
in
open
area
and,
from
there
you're
gonna
see
all
those
doors
that
are
called
the
breakout
breakout
rooms
next
slide
on
this
slide.
This
is
where
we
have
the
the
fire
department
training
tower.
J
The
training
tower
is
a
six
six
stories
high
and
also
four
stories
and
two
stories,
and
this
is
where
the
fire
department
would
conduct
all
their
activities
from
from
with
the
fire,
props
or
or
whatever
activities
they
need
to
do
inside
and
outside
the
building.
Next,
please
matt.
This
is
yours,.
B
Thank
you
dominic.
We
in
summary,
as
mentioned
in
the
staff
report,
we
received
three
bids
on
the
project.
As
you
can
see
here,
two
of
them
were
under
the
engineer's
estimate
and
the
low
bids
which
we're
excited
about
the
lowest
bid.
Being
almost
eight
percent
under
estimate
did
allow
us
to
fit
most
of
the
ad
alternates
into
the
recommendation
to
you
to
award
and
I'll
go
over
those
ad
alternates
on
the
next
slide,
and
we
are
recommending
today
to
award
the
project
to
zovitch
construction.
B
The
project
does
include
a
project
labor
agreement,
and
all
this
was,
although
this
was
not
a
requirement.
The
good
news
is
that
soviets
did
a
great
job
in
incorporating
local
subcontractors
and
21.7
million
about
38
to
40
percent
of
the
construction
cost
is
local
subs,
and
most
of
that
is
san,
jose
local
subs
next
slide,
please.
B
This
is
a
list
of
the
project
out
alternates,
I'm
not
going
to
read
through
every
one
for
you.
They
are
listed
in
the
council
memorandum.
B
We
had
a
strategy
on
this
project
to
put
some
pretty
big
things
into
the
ad
alternate
list
that
so
that
we
could,
just
in
case
the
bidding
environment
bids
came
in
too
high.
It
would
still
give
the
mayor
and
city
council
an
opportunity
to
move
forward
with
parts
of
the
project
at
a
time.
That's
why
the
training
tower
is,
you
know,
as
I've
heard
from
the
fire
department,
the
most
important
thing
to
build.
B
There's
only
two
ad
alternates
here
that
we're
not
awarding
recommending
today
number
six
is
the
battery
storage
and
number
10
is
the
accelerated
project
schedule
we'll
start
with
number
10.
for
the
accelerated
project
schedule.
We
really
didn't
have
enough
money
for
that
and
the
half
a
million
dollar
bid
for
that
won.
We
couldn't
afford
it
and
number
two
to
buy
us
three
months
of
a
schedule.
We
didn't
feel
that
five
hundred
thousand
dollars
was
worth
it
number
six:
the
battery
storage.
I
want
to
address
that
briefly.
B
We
do
have
designed
and
we
do,
plan
on
having
a
battery
storage
at
this
facility.
B
We
do
have
a
micro
grid
that
we're
recommending
awarding
and
that
micro
grid,
in
conjunction
with
our
battery,
will
really
allow
our
facility
to
work
as
much
as
possible
off
the
grid,
even
during
emergencies,
probably
not
completely
off
the
grid
during
emergencies,
but
as
much
as
possible
and
based
on
the
bid
results.
The
batteries
came
in
higher
than
we
anticipated.
So
we
have
kept
the
money
in
the
budget
for
the
batteries
and
we
do
plan
on
on
figuring
out
a
solution
to
the
batteries
before
this
project
is
completed.
B
B
The
training
tower
will
complete
first
and
we
expect
to
open
that
by
april
2022
and
we
expect
to
complete
the
entire
facility
by
december
2022,
and
I
briefly
wanted
to
mention
the
funding
shortfall
that
that
julia
had
highlighted
in
one
of
her
slides
and
is
also
highlighted
in
her
memo,
the
shortfall
15
million
dollars.
B
And
so
we
thankful
that
the
bids
came
in
for
our
projections
and
next
slide.
Please
and
this
side
in
front
of
just
the
recommendations
that
are
in
front
of
you
today.
First
for
the
finance
department's
memo
and
then
the
construction
project
approval
and
with
that
we'd
be
happy
to
take
any
questions.
A
Great
thank
you
matt
and
thanks
to
all
the
work
of
the
finance
team
as
well
and
fire
department
to
get
us
to
this
point,
we
are.
We
have
several
members
of
the
community
like
to
speak.
First,
the
community
member
with
the
phone
number
ending
five
one,
four.
R
Zero,
can
you
hear
me:
hey,
hey,
happy
happy
new
year,
everybody!
I'm
back,
you
know!
Sorry,
I
waited
a
week.
You
know
I
missed
the
obama
boulevard
deal
anyway.
We're
talking
about
the
fire
department.
I
got
to
keep
on
topic.
Hero
sam
will
hang
up
on
me,
but
you
know
what
the
fire
department
needs
to
be
true.
R
The
thing
the
fire
department
needs
to
finance
is
being
able
to
show
up
to
a
fire
before
the
place
burns
down
or
before
the
person
dies
of
a
heart
attack.
That's
what
you
need
money
for!
You
don't
need
money
to
to
to
build
some
green
fire
training
center.
You
need
to
train
the
fire
department
to
show
up
before
the
building
burns
down.
Remember
the
flames
over
on
hillsdale
the
restaurant
yeah.
It
went
down
in
flames
right
across
the
street
from
the
fire
department.
Where
was
the
financing
for
that?
R
How
about
my
neighbor's
house
that
burnt
down
still
blighted?
How
about
the
strip
mall
in
hillsdale?
That
looks
like
we're
in
detroit?
What
about
financing
that
you're
financing
a
new
tower
for
training?
This
fire
department
is
a
joke
and
it
needed
to
it
needed
federal
oversight,
and
so
does
this
police
department
where
I
live,
they
don't
even
show
up
and
when
they
do
it's
too
late.
R
A
Thank
you
person
with
the
caption
zoom
participant.
E
I
should
be
hearable,
though,
are
you
able
to
hear
me
yeah
yeah?
We
can
hear.
A
E
I
just
I,
I
only
need
to
kind
of
echo
some
of
the
previous
callers
side.
You
know
there's.
I
I
heard
a
comment
specifically
that
there
was
there
was
the
inability
to
fund
certain
parts
of
this
project
that
I
don't
think
anybody
could
argue
is
for
the
betterment
of
our
community.
E
It's
it's
funding
the
fire
department,
things
like
that,
and
yet
you
know
in
another
earlier
city
council
meeting,
we
had
millions
and
millions
of
dollars
being
pumped
in
to
tourism
during
a
covid
crisis,
when
people
aren't
even
allowed
to
travel
or
go
outside
or
that's
what
they
think
where's
the
explanation
there.
A
So
is
that
all
your
comment,
this
isn't
a
time
for
us
to
respond.
It's
just
for
you
to
make
comment.
Okay,
I'm
not
sure
he's
referring
to
with
millions
of
dollars
for
tourism,
paul
soto,.
G
Good
evening,
good
evening,
council,
the
issue
I
have
is
with
with
this
training
center.
The
only
reason
why
it's
relocating
is
because
of
google's
footprint.
Okay,
the
the
property
that
they
had
purchased,
is
necessitating
the
building
the
erection
of
a
new
facility.
That's
number
one,
so
you
can
attack.
That's
there's
a
causal
relationship
between
those
two.
G
So
I'd
like
to
know
how
much
google
kicked
in
for
that
to
make
that
happen
rather
than
having
the
city
flip
the
dime,
for
it,
that's
number
one
number,
two
jay
paul
with
all
these
buildings
going
up
and
and
dillable
and
ariaga.
G
G
So
I
want
to
know:
where
is
the
money
that
these
developers
I
want
to
know
who
knew
who
negotiated
those
contracts
and
did
they
did
they
factor
that
in
to
the
contract,
when
the
developer
came
in
and
wanted
to
build
a
24-story
building,
knowing
that
it
was
going
to
necessitate
that
type
of
equipment
see
these
are
these
are
the
these?
Are
the
minor,
however,
actually
major
details
that
are
missed
and
because
they're
missed
we,
the
city
has
to
flip
the
dime
for
that
and
what
that
does.
G
Is
it
pulls
monies
away
from
actually
dealing
with
actual
people
issues,
because
what
we're
talking
about
is
the
protection
of
property.
I
know
that
the
fire
department
does
an
excellent
job
because
they're
twofold
they're,
not
only
just
structural
fires,
they
also
do
they're,
also
medics,
and
I
appreciate
that
I'm
glad
that
we
have
them,
but
it's
those
little
details
about
the
kinds
of
equipment
and
the
necessity
for
a
new
training
facility
by
virtue
of
google's
tendency.
Those
are
the
issues
that
I
have
that
I
take
exception
with
as
a
citizen.
Thank
you
thank.
A
You,
mr
speakman,.
I
Hi
I
wanted
to
measure
I
wanted
to
offer
that
on
this
item,
there's
language
about
emergency
operations
center
with
the
help
of
measure
t
funding-
and
I
know
that
you
know
I've
been
working
on
these
on
surveillance
and
tech
issues,
accountability
for
over
five
years
now-
and
there
was
you
know
a
few
years
ago-
there
was
a
big
to-do
about
you
know:
building
two
or
three
emergency
operations
centers.
I
Instead
of
having
one,
we
need
two
instead
of
having
two,
we
need
three
and
I
don't
ever
know
how
that
really
has
developed,
and
you
know
I
hope
that
was
limited.
I
think
the
idea
needs
to
be
limited,
although
I
can
totally.
We
all
understand
the
the
logic
and
the
conversation.
I
You
know
to
it's
important,
that
you
know
a
man,
domain,
awareness,
centers
and
emergency
operational
centers.
You
know
of
d.o.t
of
the
police
of
the
fire
department.
I
You
know
that
data
is
not
just
something
that
should
just
be
multiplying
on
itself
continuously
and
I
think
we're
learning
those
kind
of
ideas
and
principles
right
now
and
there
is
a
way
to
contain
the
ever
growing
ideas
of
data,
and
you
know
so.
I
I
hope
you
know
that's
what
measure
t
oversight
needs
to
be
considering
and
thinking
about
and
and
relevant
to
their
thinking,
and
I
hope
it
is.
I
I
don't
know
if
it
is,
and
I
hope
it
is
basically
and
you
know
I
hope
I
can
have
those
kind
of
conversations
with
the
measure-
t
oversight
board.
I
hope
you
pick
the
members
to
have
those
kind
of
conversations
and
thoughts
and
so
with
10
seconds
just
reminders
of
things
and
thank
you
for
your
time.
A
Thank
you
roland
welcome,.
S
Thank
you
mayor.
I
hope
you
can
hear
me.
Okay,
I'm
on
my
laptop
right
now,
so
so.
First
of
all,
obviously
I
I
strongly
support
the
relocation
of
the
fire
training
facility.
You
know,
for
obvious
reasons,
I've
been
advocating
for
this
for
10
years
and
I
really
want
to
give
kudos
to
matt
and
esteem
to
the
way
they
approach.
S
You
know
the
the
design.
You
know
the
proposal,
the
way
that
was
carried
out
and
also
how
he's
proposing
to
finance
this.
But
the
only
question
I
have
through
the
mayor
is
that,
as
I
recall
it,
that
particular
parcel
that
that
you
also
it's
an
old
union
pacific
right
away,
which
was
it's
actually
part
of
the
tree.
Creeks
trail,
I'm
wondering
on
that
plane.
If
there
is
any
opportunity
to
preserve
you
know
some
kind
of
a
trail
access,
preferably
at
least
30
feet
wide.
Thank
you.
A
Thank
you
roland.
Maybe
why
don't
we
just
take
that
question
on
quickly
because
I
think
matt,
as
I
understand
it,
there's
been
a
surface
applied
to
enable
that
trail
project
to
move
forward
when
it's
ready
is
that
right.
B
Absolutely
mayor,
thanks
for
the
question
very
involved
in
this,
when
I
was
in
pr
ns
as
well.
Yes,
we
definitely
reserved
the
width
of
that
property
for
the
trails,
so
when
that
trail
is
ready
to
be
built,
it
will
be
built
on
this
right.
Thank
you.
C
Thank
you
mayor
also
just
in
response
to
some
of
the
comments,
if
you
could
put
it
on
slide,
four,
please
just
so
that
folks
can
get
another
chance
to
see
the
funding
sources
in
shortfall
where
the
money's
coming
from.
Basically,
I.
O
C
Slide
the
money
is
coming
from
from
the
property
sale
proceeds
from
google
we're
having.
We
have
the
cal
oes
grant
and
we
are
also
keeping
our
commitment
to
the
voters
with
measure
t.
I
wanted
to
also
point
out.
O
C
There's
a
a
certain-
I
don't
know
what
you
call
it
there's
just
just.
C
I
appreciate
the
fact
that
this
is
coming
to
an
area
to
district
that
had
flooded
just
a
few
years
ago
and
the
work
that
the
city
has
done
on
our
eoc
on
hiring
ray
and
keeping
this
commitment
to
the
voters
will
in
fact
make
our
community
safer
in
the
future,
and
so
with
that-
and
I
also
wanted
to
thank
matt,
cano
nancy
klein
and
julia
cooper
and
everybody
for
their
hard
work
on
this-
that
I
think
this
will
be
an
asset
to
the
city,
a
mile
and
a
half
from
the
downtown
core,
but
still
accessible
to
major
arteries
leading
in
the
east
side.
A
Thank
you,
councilmember
cohen,.
E
Thank
you.
I
just
want
to
ask
that
the
project
said
it
was
a
silver
lead
certified.
Can
you
tell
me
what
the
difference
is
that
naked
not
gold
lead
certified?
What
are
the?
What
is
the
just?
What
is
in
the
project?
That's
not,
or
what
are
the
difference
between
this
project
and
what
could
make
it?
Gold.
J
Thank
you.
Thank
you,
councilmember.
I
believe
we
have
54
credit
points
and
to
reach
the
goal
this
it
will
be
like
62,
so
it
would
take.
It
would
take
quite
a
few
substantial
efficiencies
and
and
like
being
in
a
more
developed,
developed
area
like
near
and
near
an
urban
setting
near
public
transportation
and
so
forth.
J
That
would
that
would
be
more
that
we
can
get
more
credits,
but
the
building
is
is
efficient
enough
as
well
that
that,
like
I
said
it's
a
znc
and
it's
meeting
quite
a
few
efficient
requirements.
So
it's
let's
take
another
six
more
six,
more
to
eight
points,
we'll
we'll
see
what
happens
during
construction.
If
we
can
achieve
more,
but
it
will
be,
it
will
be
a
stretch.
Okay
and.
E
Then
the
project
has
has
solar
on
the
parking
and
on
the
roof.
What
is
the?
What
is
the
load
of
the
solar
as
far
as
energy
load
for
the
building
usage
versus
the
amount
of
solar
generation?
You
have
on
that
project.
J
I
don't
have
the
the
numbers
with
me,
but
the
building
should
be
fully
sustained
during
a
typical
day.
So
doing
eight
to
five.
The
building
should
be
using
most
of
the
energy
from
the
pvs.
You
did
say
it
was
a
net
zero.
E
Building
right,
correct,
okay
and
then
the
the
for
the
bathrooms.
Is
it
reclaimed
water.
A
Thank
you,
councilmember
mayhem,.
P
Thanks
mayor,
I
knocked
on
a
lot
of
doors
for
measure
t
so
to
echo
echo
council,
member
esparza.
I'm
excited
to
see
us
following
through
on
our
on
our
promise
to
voters.
I
think
it's
a
really
important
project
and
the
renderings
are
beautiful.
I
also
want
to
commence
staff
on
your
thoughtfulness
around
the
high
cost
of
batteries
and
deferring
that
for
now
and
then
planning
for
the
future
three
creeks
trail,
so
some
great
foresight,
some
exciting
stuff
in
this
project.
P
I've
been
experimenting
with
sending
out
a
preview
of
our
agenda
to
my
constituents
and
included
this
item
and
got
a
couple
of
questions
back
about
the
the
price
tag,
and
I
can
understand
why
a
resident
looking
at
the
project
or
maybe
looking
at
a
council
agenda
for
the
first
time
might
say:
why
does
it
cost
54
million
dollars
to
build
this?
And
so
I
was
wondering
I
had
two
kind
of
related
questions
and
then
a
third
unrelated.
P
So
the
questions
are
on
cost
one
is
I
struggled
well,
I
read
the
memo
and
could
imagine
why
it
would
be
expensive
to
build.
I
was
wondering
if
we
had
a
publicly
available
and
more
granular
breakdown
of
construction
costs.
Is
that
the
kind
of
thing
that
we
could
share
with
the
public
when
we
get
questions
about
why
these
kinds
of
projects
cost
as
much
as
they
do.
B
Our
council
member,
thank
you
for
the
question
we
we
definitely
can
share
more.
We,
the
bids,
are
the
bids
that
the
contractors
submit
our
public
information.
So
it's
it's
a
lot
of
information.
They
submit
huge
packets
every
every
time
and
so
on
a
case-by-case
basis.
There's
someone
that
is
interested
in
that
information.
We
can
definitely
work
with
them
to
get
or
or
maybe
on
this
project,
since
it's
so
high
profile,
we
could
definitely
provide
a
further
breakdown
of
of
what
of
the
construction
costs.
That's
not
a
problem.
P
Awesome,
thank
you
yeah.
I
just
want
to
make
sure
I'm
equipped,
and
you
know
my
fellow
my
colleagues
are
as
well
to
explain
adequately
to
our
constituents
when
they
have
those
kinds
of
questions.
So
I
appreciate
that,
and
I
think
another
way
of
thinking
about
the
value
of
the
building
is,
of
course,
thinking
about
the
lifespan,
and
I
didn't
see
any
mention
of
that
in
the
memo.
Is
there
a
an
estimate
for
the
useful
lifespan
of
this
facility.
B
B
Yeah
yeah
we'll
have
to
follow
up,
I
mean,
but
we
I
I
will
expect
it
to
last
forever,
but
the
building
is
not
going
to
last
forever.
But
that's
a
great
question.
I
don't
have
the
answer
on
the
top
of
my
head,
so
so
we
will
follow
up
with
that.
P
Great
no
problem,
thank
you
and
then.
Finally,
a
couple
years
ago,
I
had
the
privilege
of
participating
in
a
fire,
ops,
training
and-
and
I
saw
firsthand
how
hard
the
job
is-
that
our
firefighters
have
and
also
noticed
a
lot
of
smoke,
we're
fighting
real
fires
as
part
of
our
training,
and
I
was
curious
if
there
was
an
assessment.
P
I
assume
there's
been
an
environmental
review,
but
I
didn't
notice
this
mentioned
in
the
memo
either,
which
is
what's
the
increase
on
particulate
matter
near
the
facility
and
what's
the
impact,
if
any,
on
local,
neighborhoods
and
residents.
I'm
just
curious,
I
imagine
that's
been
part
of
our
thought
process.
B
E
Thank
you
for
the
question,
so
the
main
difference
between
the
old
tower
and
the
new
tower
is
we're
going
from
a
class,
a
fire
to
a
class
b
fire,
meaning
we're
going
from
burning
woods
and
papers
to
burning
pure
natural
gas.
So
the.
D
P
A
Okay,
thank
you
councilmember
and
thank
you
councilman
mayhem.
Not
only
did
you
knock
on
doors,
I
know
you
also
hosted
gatherings
and
did
a
lot
of
outreach
on
that
measure.
So
I
appreciate
your
work.
I
I
just
had
a
few
questions.
Matt
and
anybody
else
on
the
team
wants
to
respond.
One
is
on
the
public
art
the
113
000
allocation,
which
we
know
is
something
that's
in
the
city
ordinance.
A
One
would
not
expect
a
whole
lot
of
members
of
the
public
to
show
up
to
observe
public
art
in
emergency
operations,
centers
and
perhaps
a
few
more
at
a
fire
training
center,
but
not
a
lot.
On
the
other
hand,
right
across
the
street,
we've
got
very
major
facilities
that
attract
large
numbers
of
our
community
members,
namely
happy
hollow
the
friendship
garden
history
park.
Is
there
any
hope
that
we
could
use
the
money
here
for
something
more
substantial
in
public
art
across
the
street?.
B
I'll
start,
the
response
for
that
and
then
michael
olivier
from
our
public
art
program,
is
on
the
call
too
it's
all
I'll
start
and
then
michael,
if
you
can
come
on
I'll
turn
over
to
you,
to
talk
more
about
the
plans
here.
A
significant
portion
of
this
project
is
measure
t
funded
and
that
that
does
have
restrictions
that
public
art
would
need
to
be
aligned
with
something
that
is
in
measure
t.
B
P
P
So
that
would
be
a
portion
of
the
funding
now
there,
the
funding
that
is
measure
t
has
to
be
spent
at
that
center
per
the
ordinance.
The
funding
you
mentioned
that
that
would
not
be
measured
to
be
more
general
fund,
has
a
little
bit
more
flexibility
and
we
could
perhaps
do
another
public
art
project.
A
Well,
thanks
michael,
I
love
the
approach,
certainly
of
getting
our
artists
some
work.
Our
local
artists
just
would
love
to
be
able
to
see
the
art
in
places
where
many
thousands
of
members
of
our
community
can
see
it.
Although
I
certainly
recognize
and
embrace
the
fact
that
our
firefighters
are
important
members
of
our
community,
I'm
guessing,
they
probably
place
a
lesser
value
on
the
aesthetics
of
the
facility
as
they
as
perhaps
our
public.
A
L
So
I
don't
see
any
other.
L
Speakers
so
is
there
a
motion.
C
C
Right,
aren't
they
hurt
together
heard
together,
but
we
are
voting
separately.
Oh
okay,
then
I'll
just
do
it
on
this
item.
Yep.
A
Thank
you.
I'm
sorry
that
I
lost
connection
there.
I
understand
emotion
has
just
been
made.
Were
there
any
other
comments?
I
just
had
a
couple
other
questions
I
was
hoping
to
get
answered.
One
was
regarding
the
esko
seven
million
dollars
of
commercial
paper
julia.
I
had
understood
that
we'd,
at
least
at
one
point
we
had
planned
to
actually
pay
off
the
esco
debt.
Is
that
money
that
we
ultimately
had
to
pull
back
because
of
the
covet
impacts
of
the
budget
last
year.
F
I
think
jim
is
on
the
phone
and
he
must
or
on
the
zoom.
He
might
be
better
able
to
answer
that.
I'm
looking
for
him.
E
Yeah
yeah
here
I
am
folks,
jim
jim,
shannon
city's
budget
director.
So
what
we
did
last
year
was
we
or
for
part
of
the
this
year
for
the
2021
budget
we
paid
off
the
esco
that
was
related
to
the
new
market
tax
credit
financing.
E
Was
in
two
portions,
we
we
paid
off
the
most
expensive
portion,
which
was
the
which
was
the
financing
mechanism
for
the
majority
of
those
street
light
replacement.
The
name
of
that
that
that
is,
it
is
escaping,
but
we
deliberately
did
not
pay
the
commercial
paper,
given
that
it
was
a
much
cheaper,
a
lower
level
of
interest
so
that
we
wanted
to
focus
our
dollars
on
the
higher
level
of
debt
that
was
outstanding.
A
Okay,
it
was
about
two
million
dollars
worth
okay,
great
thanks
jim
and
then
just
a
question
for
matt
about
the
fees.
The
the
3.9
million
to
consultants
and
6.2
million
to
public
works
management.
Is
there
a?
A
I
was
to
see
so
much
in
consultant
fees
going
in
when
public
works
was
doing
the
managing?
Could
you
just
help
me
understand.
B
B
A
lot
of
the
kind
of
the
technical
drawings
are
done
by
consultants
in
a
way
it's
it's
looked
at
as
in
the
way
I
look
at
a
project
like
this
is
dominic
is
kind
of
managing
the
consultants
that
are
doing
a
lot
of
the
design
work
for
them,
and
so
it
is,
although
we
do
have
consultants
preparing
the
drawings,
it's
a
significant
amount
of
city
work
and
to
choreograph
the
choreograph
this,
and
I
don't
have
the
project
delivery
costs
on
the
tip
of
my
tongue
for
this
project,
but
they
are
within
the
standards.
A
I'm
happy
to
talk
offline.
Thank
you
and
then
last
question
was
about
the
tower.
You
know
knowing
where
the
training
tower
was
on
the
old
side
or
is.
I
was
surprised
to
see
the
tower
so
close
to
the
other
surrounding
buildings,
given
the
fact
that
something
we
routinely
light
on
fire.
A
How
exactly
does
that
work?
When
you
have
a
tower
attached
to
the
buildings
that
you're.
E
Yeah,
so
the
the
building's
actually
a
little
bit
farther
than
it
probably
looks
in
the
renderings
and
then
now
that
we're
going
from
the
class
a
burning
to
the
class
b,
it's
much
more
controllable
so
which
allows
us
to
be
closer
to
the
other
buildings.
A
Okay,
all
right
I'll
trust
you
on
that
one.
I
just
won't
be
hanging
out
in
these
other
buildings
when
the
other
one's
on
fire-
okay,
great-
and
I
also
want
to
just
clarify.
I
know
there
was
a
suggestion
that
somehow
or
another
this
is
all
about
google
or
something
this
fire
training
center
had
largely
outlived
its
useful
life.
Is
that
fair
to
say.
B
Yeah,
the
fire
training
center
is
definitely,
and
we
it's
out
of
code,
there's
portables,
it's
it's
not
it.
It
needs
to
be
rebuilt.
It's
it's.
It's
not
angry.
It's
not
in
good
shape.
A
Yeah,
okay,
thank
you.
I
took
a
few
classes
there
over
there
myself
and
yes,
it's
in
very,
very
worn
down
condition.
Councilman
cohen.
E
Just
since
you
brought
up
the
live
fire
training,
I
I'm
the
that
tower
is
really
close
proximity
to
the
stadium
right
next
door.
So
I
assume
that
there's
coordination
with
in
terms
of
events
that
happen
next
door
and
how
they,
when
training,
occurs
and
how
that's
handled,
given
how
close
it
is
to
existing
place
with
crowds.
E
Again,
yeah
yeah,
of
course
we
always
we
try
to
be
the
best
neighbors
we
can
be
and
we
put
out
all
our
all.
Our
burns
are
scheduled
out.
So
we
try
to
put
out
as
much
notes
as
possible
and
let
people
know
but
again,
switching
from
the
class
a
to
class
b,
fire
pretty
much
eliminates
all
smoke
and
most
of
the
fire
will
be
contained
with
inside
the
tower
itself.
A
F
E
E
P
A
A
Thank
you
all
right
now,
I
believe
we're
on
to
8.1,
which
is
the
proposed
expenditure
plan
for
homeless
housing
assistance
prevention.
There
is
a
presentation
on
this
item.
H
H
H
H
This
will
allow
us
to
take
advantage
of
governor
newsom's
march
2020
executive
order
that
relaxes
some
of
the
sequel
requirements
in
order
to
construct
quickly
and
the
department
is
certainly
supportive
of
the
mayor
and
council
member
perales's
memo
before
you
this
evening
and
then.
Finally,
we
are
reserving
the
seven
percent
that's
allowable
for
program
and
grant
management
for
the
city.
H
Earlier
this
year
we
allocated
some
of
our
federal
emergency
solutions,
grant
or
esg
grant
funds
for
an
rv
trash
and
mobile
waste
dis
voice,
disposal
service
program,
but
we're
hoping
to
pair
those
trash
services
with
some
either
additional
safe
parking
sites
or
street
outreach
and
mobile
case
management.
That's
focused
on
rvs
and
in
total
that's
about
40
of
our
hat
funds.
That's
focused
on
families
and
youth.
A
I
Hi
my
hand
was
accidentally
up
if
I
just
first,
maybe
I
can
put
my
hand
up
after
that.
Thank
you.
Okay,.
S
S
Very
briefly,
I'd
like
to
follow
up
on
the
suggestion
I
made
that
I
believe
it
was
last
year
to
consider
repurposing
the
old,
railcars
or
interim
housing,
and
I
want
to
give
you
the
numbers
right
now.
Bath
is
selling
these
rate
cars
for
10
000,
a
piece,
in
other
words,
for
a
million
dollars.
You
could
buy
a
hundred
of
them.
If
you
have
ever
been
inside
a
bar
trade
car,
you
know
what
the
configuration
is.
You
can
walk
into
it
at
the
opposite
end.
You
can
basically
have
a
single.
S
You
know,
bedroom
area
with,
with
a
desk
and
in
the
middle
between
the
two
doors,
you
could
have
a
double
bedroom
and
potentially
be
able
to
accommodate
some
kind
of
a
family.
So
I
really
encourage
you
to
start
looking
into
the
logistics
of
making
this
potentially,
we
could
be
providing
very
rapidly
affordable
housing
for
400
people.
Well,
let's
just
say
we
doubled
the
million
dollars
to
2
million,
which
is
really
competitive
with
everything
else
that
you
got
on
the
table.
S
We
have
room
for
them
where
I
live
right
in
my
backyard,
there's
34
acres
around
the
centered
reserve,
like
lightweight
station
and
all
the
vta
I've
got
over.
There
is
a
bunch
of
old
joints.
Thank
you.
A
Thank
you,
mr
lebrun.
I
believe
that
might
be
the
first
time
I've
heard
in
public
comment.
Someone
saying
please
build
it
in
my
backyard.
Thank
you
for
that,
mr
beekman.
I
don't
see
your
hand
raised,
so
unless
you
raise
your
hand,
I
will
move
back
to
the
council.
A
Okay,
let's
go
back
to
the
council.
Now
I
want
to
thank
councilmember
perales
for
his
continued
willingness
to
step
up
to
be
able
to
identify
sites
where
we
can
be
building
housing
to
bring
our
own
house
off
the
street
I
wanted
to
make
before
he
jumps
in.
A
I
wanted
to
make
one
suggested
change
to
a
memorandum
that
I
co-signed
with
council
members
cohn
and
menace
that
that
staff
explore
the
compensation
which
would
be
a
small
stipend,
specifically
for
the
member
of
the
hcdc,
who
has
the
lived
experience
and
I'm
not
sure,
given
our
budgetary
challenges
in
the
years
ahead.
I'm
not
sure
we
want
to
get
into
the
practice
of
saying
everybody
on
the
commission
and
all
of
our
commissions
will
be
paid
because
I
just
don't
think
that's
going
to
be,
I
mean
logistically,
it's
going
to
be
challenging
financially
as
well.
A
K
Yeah,
thank
you
very
much
mayor
and
appreciate
the
work
from
from
staff.
I
know
that,
obviously,
this
funding
is
going
to
be
able
to
go
a
long
way
to
help
our
community
members
and
certainly
much
needed,
as
we've
seen
during
this
pandemic,
just
the
exacerated
challenges
for
those
that
are
unhoused
in
our
community,
not
only
with
trying
to
stay
safe,
avoiding
the
virus,
but
just
the
the
challenges
of
of
being
homeless
out
in
our
streets
and
and
and
really
with
so
many
more
people
experiencing
it.
K
I
know
that
we
have
actually
a
a
member-
that's
probably
still
with
us
tonight,
paul
soto
that
we
heard
had
his
struggles
during
the
end
of
the
year
last
year,
and
and
so
many
of
our
community
members
that
experienced
homelessness,
maybe
for
the
first
time
last
year,
and
so
these
these
dollars.
These
resources
are
extremely
important
and
how
we
allocate
them
is
extremely
important,
but
the
best
thing
we
could
be
trying
to
do
is
continuing
to
create
more
shelter,
opportunities
and
those
that
we
can
erect
as
quickly
as
possible.
K
And
so
you
know
with
the
emergency
interim
housing
communities
that
has
been
just
this
tremendous
opportunity
for
us
as
a
city
to
demonstrate
how
we
can
quickly
create
these
new
opportunities.
K
Certainly,
we've
been
utilizing
the
hotel
vouchers
and
making
use
of
hotels
or
motels
those
rooms
that
are
unavailable
and
with
support
from
the
state,
but
we
know
that,
with
over
6
000
homeless
in
our
city,
that
we
need
to
really
turn
over
every
single
stone
and-
and
this
is
one
of
those
that
we
can
can
take
an
initiative
on
and
and
thank
you
mayor
for
the
recognition.
K
Certainly
it's
been
something
I've
stood
out
in
front
on
with
my
community
members
and
at
times
taken
a
lot
of
lumps
for
it,
and
one
of
the
things
that
was
important
to
me
over
the
years
was
that
we
begin
to
see
some
greater
distribution
across
the
whole
city.
K
And
I
want
to
say
that,
with
the
three
eia
h
sites
that
we
we
created
over
the
course
of
last
year
has
really
allowed
me
an
opportunity
to
to
stand
up
again
this
year
to
be
able
to
say,
let's,
let's
take
another,
look
at
a
site
that
we've
actually
had
on
the
radar
for
several
years
here
in
district
3
adjacent
to
our
police
department
and
be
able
to
to
see
how
quickly
we
can
convert
that
into
much
needed
emergency
interim
units,
and
so
with
that,
I
do
want
to
just
highlight
some
parts
of
of
the
memo
that
I
wrote
with
the
mayor
and
it's
actually
the
parking
lot.
K
There
is
a
parking
lot
that
I
utilized
for
eight
years
while
I
was
on
the
police
department
and
it's
an
unsecured
parking
lot
and
as
an
officer
when
you're
gone
for
for
ten
hours,
and
you
come
back.
It's
certainly
actually
there's
there's
been
incidences
in
that
parking
lot
before
and
it's
unfortunate
to
not
have
a
secured
lot
for
for
our
our
police
officers
there,
and
that
was
one
of
the
things
that
was
really
important.
K
I
know
to
our
police
department
when
we
were
having
these
discussions
a
couple
years
ago,
as
this
site
popped
up
on
the
radar,
and
so
I
just
want
to
ensure
that
that
doesn't
get
lost,
and
I
know
the
staff
is
aware
of
that
as
well,
but
that
we
make
sure
that
we
do
actually
provide
secure
parking
with
the
remainder
of
the
lot,
that
is
gonna.
That's
gonna,
stay
for
the
police,
vehicles,
police
department,
employee
vehicles
and
and
and
then
actually
in
making
the
motion.
K
I
want
to
include
my
colleagues,
memorandum
and
mayor
you
just
pointed
out
in
regards
to
the
sniping.
I
would
agree
with
that.
I
I
don't
necessarily
think
any
one
of
us
might
want
to
intend
to
begin
to
to
offer
compensation
to
everybody,
but
I
do
think
it
is
extremely
important
that
we
remove
any
of
the
financial
barriers,
as
was
stated
in
that
memo
to
somebody
that
that
may
be
coming
from
our
own
house
community
and
not
only
the
the
financial
barriers.
K
But
this
may
be
an
individual
that
may
not
be
fully
capable
of
of
receiving
all
the
documents,
maybe
electronic
documents
in
a
timely
manner
or,
if
that
at
all-
and
so
I
just
I
do
think
that
we
should
be
conscious
of
not
only
the
financial
barriers
but
any
other
barrier
that
may
be
there
for
someone
from
our
own
house
community
and
that
we
should
do
all
that
we
can
to
eliminate
those
for
this
specific
individual.
So
I
would
be
more
than
happy
to
support
that
as
well.
K
So
I'll
now
make
the
motion
to
move
my
memorandum,
that's
co-signed
with
the
mayor
and
then
my
colleagues
memorandum
as
well,
and
improve
staff
recommendation
as
well.
Thank
you
so
good.
Q
Thank
you,
and
I
want
to
thank
the
the
housing
department,
as
well
as
my
council
colleagues,
who
get
to
take
on
the
the
burden
of
a
lot
of
development
in
their
particular
districts,
and
I
know
that
we
all
all
of
our
districts,
all
of
our
city,
should
integrate
our
unhealth
community
because
they
are
already
living
throughout
all
of
our
districts,
and
so
thank
you
for
taking
some
of
those
lumps
councilmember
perales
as
you
called
them.
My
question
is
around
the
life
moves
two
million
well.
Q
First
of
all,
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you
so
much
for
continuing
to
to
listen
to
our
community,
and
especially
those
that
are
suffering
through
domestic
violence
and
sexual
assault,
and
so
I'm
just
absolutely
overjoyed
and
really
proud
of
the
work
that
you're
doing
around
this.
I
was
wondering
how
is
life
moves
going
to
collaborate
with
some
of
those
agencies
that
primarily
serve
domestic
violence
and
sexual
assault?
Victims.
H
The
question
council
member
as
part
of
their
funding
from
the
first
round
of
hap
last
year,
we
actually
required
that
they
have
an
moa
or
mou
with
db
agencies
that
really
lays
out
how
they're
going
to
coordinate
on
services
and
referrals.
Q
And
so
it's
it's
based
on
that
mou.
Do
you
know
which
agencies
those
are
that
they
have
mou's
with.
Q
Got
it
okay,
my
concern
is
that
you
know
I
know
that
we
tried
to
accommodate
families
by
having
safe
parking
that
didn't
seem
to
work
for
families.
I
think
life
moves
was
just
dealt
a
a
difficult,
a
difficult
task
at
hand
and
and
they
hadn't
done
safe
parking.
Q
It
was
the
first
time
that
they
had
done
safe
parking,
and
so
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
we
have
as
much
success
set
up
for
those
folks
who
are
going
through
something
really
difficult
and
that
life
moves
has
those
relationships
already
established
and
that
they
maneuver
through
all
of
this
network
that
can
be
really
complicated
even
for
agencies
and
so
much
less
our
our
residents
in
our
own
house
community.
So
I
just
wanted
to
hear
a
little
bit
more
about
that.
I
also
just
want
to
recognize
that
I've.
Q
I
can't
see
the
the
from
I
lost
my
my
page
where
I
was
on,
but
I
know
it
was
the
funding
of
the
24
hour
hotline
to
access,
shelter,
to
access,
shelters
and,
and
I've
got
to
tell
you
just
this
last
week.
Somebody
called
me
and
said:
do
you
you
know,
and
it
was
kind
of
late
at
night,
and
I
was
like,
oh
I
don't
you
know
I
don't
think
anybody's
going
to
be
able
to.
It
was
for
somebody
else
for
themselves.
It's.
Q
So
it's
always
that
right,
a
friend
of
a
friend
and
and
that's
really
how
people
connect
with
services
and
get
to
where
they
really
need
to
go
is
because
somebody
else
has
already
maneuvered
through
that
system
and
and
then
is
leading
them
through
it
right,
and
so
I'm
really
glad
to
hear
that
we
have
this
24
that
we're
going
to
have
this
24-hour
access
line
and
in
the
meantime
I
think
it's
important
to
to
make
sure
that
we
let
our
agencies
know
that
that
we
should
have
some
accommodation
for
evening
hours.
Q
I
don't
know
if
you
can
be
as
specific
as
that
in
your
contracts
leading
up
to
these
agreements,
because
emergencies
happen
at
all
times
of
the
day,
and
I
don't
expect
them
to
be
at
on
call
every
hour
of
the
day.
But
you
know
everything
kind
of
goes
to
heck
late
in
the
in
the
day
when
we
kind
of
are
done
with
working
trying
to
catch
up
with
life,
and
so
I
hope
that
I
can
see
some
evening
hours
for
some
of
those
service
providers.
Q
In
the
meantime,
the
ones
that
we're
using
for
homeless,
prevent
and
any
of
the
services
really,
because
that's
when
really
families
might
need
find
themselves
in
some
precarious
situation
where
we
need
somebody
to
talk
to.
So
that
would
be
my
my
recommendation
and
hopefully
I
can
find
that
in
in
in
your
contracts
in
the
future.
A
All
right,
councilmember,
esparza.
C
Thank
you
mayor.
I
had
some
questions
and
first
I
there
were
quite
a
few
things
to
be
really
happy
about
in
this
plan,
but
I
wanted
to
tease
out
the
hotline.
I
know
it's
something
that
the
community
has
been
trying
to
get
for
homeless
services
for
many
years,
and
I
wanted
to
ask
some
questions
about
how
that
rfp
is
going
to
roll
out
and
will
we
include
or
will
the
county
include
requirements
around
the
hotline
being
24
hours
or
multilingual.
C
Just
out
of
my
personal
experience
with
two
one
one,
we
would
get
calls
with
folks
who
were
at
the
end
of
their
rope
at
all
hours
of
the
day
and
night.
I
can
think
of
one
particular
case.
C
It
was
a
vietnamese
speaking
monolingual
speaking
couple,
who
called
out
of
the
jungle
at
two
a.m,
and
they
they
had
had
a
baby.
It
was
turning
blue.
They
were
at
the
end
of
their
rope
and
they
were
ready
to
like
get
help
right
and
and
when
that
moment
comes
to
me,
it's
really
precious,
because
maybe
the
outreach
team
had
gone
to
them
a
few
times
before,
giving
them
a
hygiene
kit
or
whatever.
But
at
that
moment
in
time,
even
if
it's
at
2
a.m.
C
It's
it's
important
that
when
they
reach
out
that
there's
somebody
on
the
other
end,
because
it's
we,
our
our
outreach
teams,
do
multiple
touches
and
try
and
build
relationships
to
get
to
that
point
in
time
where
they
will
do
that.
Because
it's
hard,
I
don't
care
who
you
are
it's
hard
to
accept,
help
right,
even-
and
so
I
I
wanted
to
just
advocate
for
that.
C
I
think
it's
hugely
important
that
if
somebody
calls
in
the
middle
of
the
night
that
there's
someone
there
to
answer
the
phone,
someone
who
speaks
their
language
in
addition
to
the
service-
and
I
think
that
we've
made
some
remarkable
changes
to
our
system,
particularly
with
kovid,
to
be
able
to
offer
that
help
on
the
other
end.
C
But
how
we
make
that
connection
is
so
critical,
and
so
I
wanted
to
give
kudos
to
you
guys
and
to
the
county
for
finally
realizing
this
vision
that
so
many
people
had
wanted
for
so
long,
but
there's
a
lot
of
work
that
goes
into
it
on
the
back
end
to
ensure
that
those
services
are
there
when
people
call.
So
that's
huge.
So
thank
you.
I
had
a
question
on
the
lived
experience
proposal.
I
think
that's
an
outstanding
idea.
H
H
Many
of
them
are
developing
or
already
have
in
place
tenant
councils,
so
active
groups
of
residents
who
want
to
provide
input
and
feedback,
and
so
this
might
be
a
natural
place
where
they
could
continue
to
be
involved
in
the
community
great.
So
those
are
a
couple
places.
I
think
we
could
do
some
outreach.
C
And
isn't
that
exciting
a
few
years
ago,
we
didn't
have
any
of
that.
So
so
this
is
the
logical
next
step,
so
that's
really
cool.
Then
I
had
some
questions
and
I
don't
know
if
you
can
answer
the
questions
or
if
maybe
the
mayor
and
councilmember
perales
could
answer
the
questions
about
the
proposal
online.
He
so
were
the
police
department
consulted
and
what
are
their
thoughts
on
on
the
operations
and
the
fencing
and
the
security
that
councilmember
perales
just
mentioned.
Have
those
conversations
taken
place.
I
E
Police
department,
leadership,
and
also
with
the
police
officers
association
with
paul
kelly
and
certainly.
I
I
think
the
primary
concern
that
we
have
heard
is
around
really
security
for
park.
The
parking
lot,
which
has
really
been
an
issue
for
us
for
a
long
time,
and
so
it
is
our
commitment
to
address
a
secure
parking
lot.
E
With
this
project,
as
as
it
moves
forward,
so
to
answer
your
question:
yes,
we've
done
that
coordination.
I
do
think
matt's
done
some
follow-up.
B
A
Thank
you
any
other
comments
or
questions
all
right.
I
do
want
to
actually
thank
robert
aguirre,
who
raised
this
issue
about
having
someone
with
lymph
experience
on
our
our
commission
boards.
I
think
in
public
comment
in
december.
It's
spurred
me
to
think
a
little
bit
about
it.
I
know
housing
department
had
already
been
working
on
it,
apparently,
and-
and
certainly
you
know,
jen
loving
destination
home
had
been
incorporating
that
notion
for
considerable
amount
of
time.
She
actually
had
a
whole
separate
lived
experience
board.
She
she
still
has
so.
A
C
E
E
C
A
A
Okay,
just
one
quick
question:
I
know
that
there's
a
community
meeting
planned
coming
up
is:
is
that
right,
jackie.
H
A
Great
thank
you
reagan.
I
was
just
asked
about
the
community
feedback.
I
know
there
was
some
concern,
so
I
appreciate
you
setting
that
up.
Okay,
let's
go
to
members
of
the
community
roland.
S
Thank
you
mayor.
Just
one
quick
comment.
I
think
when
you
are
dealing
with
patients
centralized
air
con,
you
know
hvac
it's,
it's
probably
not
a
good
idea.
You
really
want
these
people
in
in
isolation,
so
I
just
thought
I'd
put
that
out
there
for
your
consideration
and
all
about
keepers,
filters,
etc,
but
it's
a
consideration.
I'd
like
you
to
take
into
account.
Thank
you.
C
E
E
Q
I
I'm
sorry
to
interrupt.
I
just
want
to
ask
actually
you
know
this
is
just
really
a
comment
kudos
all
around.
Q
I
think
we
we
have
to
continue
to
think
about
families,
as
you
all
have
shown
that
you
have,
especially
by
creating
some
funding
opportunities
for
agencies
that
serve
our
families,
and
so
I'm
really
grateful
for
that,
and
I
know
it's
so
difficult
to
serve
families
and
to
host
families
at
shelters
and-
and
I
know
this
mo
this
particular
motel
might
not
be
an
option
for
our
families,
but
I
just
like
to
you
know
put
it
out
there
to
when,
when
our
families
are
finding
some
alternative
places,
they
are
the
most
difficult
to
serve,
and
so
I
I
I
know
that
you're
up
for
the
challenge,
and
so
I
I'd
like
for
just
to
keep
that
in
not
in
the
back
of
your
mind
but
in
in
their
forefront,
so
that
so
that
we
can
make
sure
we
take
up
this
challenge.
A
C
E
C
A
F
A
All
right
there's
a
motion
checking
the
members
of
the
public
who'd
like
to
speak
on
8.3.
The
grant
agreement
with
home
first
to
operate
emergency
congregate,
shelter.
A
Okay
can
can
I
just
ask
a
quick
question
of
housing
reagan
or
kelly
on
this
particular
site,
south
hall,
where
I
I
think
that
they
do
an
exceptional
job
of
running
a
shelter
for
many
on
house
residents,
and
I'm
very
grateful
for
that.
I
know
that
the
price
tag
to
some
extent
reflects
a
really
heavy
level
of
security,
and
I
know
you've
got
a
real
problem
with
that
particular
structure
of
the
temp,
because
you
got
19
entrances
and
exits,
and
I
know
that's
a
challenge.
A
I'm
just
wondering,
given
the
fact
that
that
tent
may
not
be
around
much
longer.
Is
there
a
mechanical
solution
to
that?
That
is
to
borrow
those
doors
where
we
wouldn't
need
to
be
spending
so
much
money
on
security,
so
that
you
know
we
know
that
dollars
are
going
to
be
scarce,
particularly
in
serving
our
own
housed
and
just
wondering
if
there's
there's
any
solution
to
that
very
large
commitment
on
security.
H
The
question
mayor
you
are
right,
there's
a
quite
a
significant
expense
from
the
operations
is
security,
private
security
for
the
building
and,
as
said,
it's
a
it's
quite
a
difficult
building
to
secure
with
many
many
entrances
and
exits
as
it
is
a
convention
center
space,
not
a
space
meant
for
shelter
and
some
of
the
doors
are.
H
I
think
you
use
the
term
bard.
I
don't.
H
But
I
think
for
fire,
there
are
some
exits
that
you
can't
do
you
can't
permanently
like
lock
just
for
fire
reasons,
and
so
those
are
manned
by
security.
But
I
think
there's
also
a
a
parking
lot
that
is
secured
and
then
most
recently,
public
health
requested
that
we
keep
two
very
large
roll-up
doors
open
24
hours
a
day
to
allow
air
from
the
outside
into
the
building.
H
Because
we
know
that
fresh
air
is
like
a
magic
covid
virus
killer,
so
that
has
added
some
additional
security
costs
to
have
those
those
roll-up
doors
manned
by
security
and
then
there's
just
the
main
entrance
and
exit
and
the
metal
detecting
wanding.
That
has
to
happen
in
addition
to
security
in
the
shower
and
laundry
area,
which
is
actually
outside
the
facility,
because
there
were
no
restrooms
showers
or
laundry
inside
the
facility,
so
it
it's
just
a
challenge
of
securing
a
facility
for
almost
300
people.
H
That
was
never
really
meant
for
for
shelter,
but
your
point
is
well
taken
about
you
know
doing.
A
No,
I
appreciate
it.
This
isn't
a
perfect
role,
then
you
don't
get
handed
perfect
buildings
to
try
to
house
people,
and
so
I
appreciate
you
guys
have
done
a
tremendous
amount
of
work
with
hope.
First
to
be
able
to
house
people
there.
It
was
very
impressive
when
I
had
a
chance
to
to
be
able
to
see
it
in
person.
A
So
thank
you
for
that.
Councilmember
rennis.
Q
Thank
you.
My
question
is
around
the
top
my
thompson
creek
area,
where
we
have
an
unhoused
community.
First
of
all,
I
want
to
thank
you
for
the
work
that
you've
done
in
providing
some.
What
what
are
they
called
a
potty?
What
are
they
called
reagan?
You're?
You
could
port-a-potty
yeah
yeah,
oh
my
goodness,
it's
only
8
38,
but
I'm
going
to
tell
you
post
covid.
It
feels
like
2
a.m.
Q
Like
I'm
done,
and
I
and
kudos
to
you
reagan,
for
I
can
hear
in
the
in
your
background.
You
have
your
little
ones
there
and
so
kudos
to
doing
it.
The
great
work
that
you're
doing
and
also
keeping
your
your
you
know,
just
your
your
your
household
and
order.
I
love.
I
was
hoping
to
see
them
today.
They
always
bring
me
a
smile
and
it
really
brightens
up
our
meeting
so
anyways.
Q
My
question
back
to
thompson.
Creek
is:
I
know
that
the
outreach
for
the
star
program
sometimes
is
in
the
downtown
area.
I
don't
know.
I
know
that
that
there's
some
slots
kind
of
earmarked
for
soar
programs
does
it
and
that's
around
the
whole
city.
I
just
want
to
ensure
that
our
thompson
creek
is
included
in
there
as
as
we're
moving
these
this.
If
the
folks
need
to
get
moved
into
a
different
area
that
are
thompson,
creek
is
also
considered.
Q
Q
You
know
in
a
very
convenient
and
accessible
way,
and
so
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
all
of
the
sites
and
really
all
of
the
sites
in
in
many
of
our
districts,
that
we
that
have
source
sites
that
are
not
necessarily
in
the
center
of
town
that
they
continue
to
get
the
kind
of
outreach
just
regardless
of
what
location
sites.
But
I
I'm
relieved
by
your
assurance-
and
I
just
wanted
to
put
that
out
there,
so
thank
you.
A
Thank
you
all
right.
Then
there
is
a
motion.
E
A
P
A
I
Hi
thanks
for
the
meeting
today,
there
are
ideas
of
love,
truth,
beauty
and
democratic
community
sustainability
in
better
understanding
the
past
20
years
of
the
electoral
process
and
voting
rights
efforts
in
of
this
country,
the
efforts
and
accomplishments
of
the
past
20
years
should
be
openly
acknowledged
and
talked
about
at
this
time.
It
may
be
time
to
consider
good
election
practices
that
were
accomplished
across
the
country
at
the
local
and
state
level
in
2020
and
during
the
time
of
an
international
pandemic.
I
The
good
electoral
efforts
from
all
sides
of
the
past
20
years
can
help
better
realize
what
can
be
continued
good
efforts
into
the
2020s
and
from
these
previous
efforts,
what
may
not
be
an
overly
difficult
task
at
this
point,
these
simple
realizations
can
work
towards
ideas
of
better
reasoning,
equality
and
decency
for
everyone.
At
this
time,
I
feel
to
acknowledge
the
severity
of
events
and
reasonings
reasoning
around
the
us
capital
this
past
week.
A
good
luck.
I
I
S
Thank
you
mayor,
so
I'd
like
to
follow
up
on
this
idea
of
using
a
broadcast
for
interim
housing
and
you're,
probably
thinking
okay,
he's
got
this
great
idea
over
there
we're
going
to
buy
a
hundred
bar
cars
for
a
million
dollars
and
then
what
we
do
with
it
and
the
absolutely
correct.
That's
a
correct
assessment
and
you
could
be
spending
millions
with
consultants
will
be
writing
reports,
but
there
is
a
better
way.
There
is
something
called
the
central
county
occupational
center,
which
is
behind
the
the
capital.
S
Honda,
diva
and
they've
got
20
different
classes
there.
They
got
everything
they
got.
You
know
bodywork
car
repairs,
you
know
electrical
plumbing.
I
actually
attended
the
class,
which
is
where
I
learned
how
to
do
solar
panel
installations
over
10
years
ago,
and
what
I
would
suggest
that
you
do
is
that
you
buy
one
of
these
above
cars.
S
Obviously,
after
having
consulted
with
these
people,
you
take
it
down
there
and
they
said,
look
what
would
it
take
to
convert
this
thing
into?
You
know
housing,
for
you
know
four
people
or
whatever
and
then
go
to
it
and
and
the
people
you
want
to
reach
out
to
the
instructors
and
then
they
are
going
to
start
thinking.
Well,
we
could
have
an
entire
class
out
of
it.
You
know
we
could
be
putting
wood
paneling,
we
could
be
putting
doors.
I
guarantee
you
within
a
week.
S
They
would
have
figured
out
how
to
hook
them
up
wire
them
up.
They
would
have
working
heating
and
air
conditioning
in
this
podcast
and
then
they
come
up
with
basically
a
prototype
and
by
that
time
you're
going
to
have
a
pretty
good
idea.
What's
going
to
take
to
convert
this
thing,
and
then
you
visit
them
once
everybody
is
happy,
it's
just
a
matter
now.
They're
going
to
have
classes
in
the
field,
basically
replicating
that
what
they
learn
at
the
training
center.
So
I
just
put
that
down
to
you
for
your
consideration.
Thank
you.
T
Largent,
thank
you
good
evening.
Everyone,
scott
largent,
I
I
was
online
and
I'm
looking
at
a
an
article
on
san
jose
inside
and
the
sheriff's
department
is
putting
together
a
task
force
to
kind
of
handle
the
bad
apples
kind
of
these.
These
groups
of
people
that
are
the
agitators
for
a
lot
of
the
different
protesting,
whether
it's
you
know
right,
left,
democrat
republican,
whatever
it's
it's
the
ones
that
are,
you,
know,
burning,
stuff
down,
and
you
know
frozen
water
bottles,
and
you
know
all
the
other
bad
stuff.
T
What
was
interesting
in
the
comments
on
this
article
was
the
second
one
down.
It
says
how
about
a
task
force
to
investigate
what
has
been
happening
at
san
jose
mayor,
sam
licardo's
house,
on
a
repetitive
basis,
and
I
put
a
comment
on
there
and
I
fully
agreed-
and
I
have
told
a
lot
of
people
about
this-
that
your
home
is
your
castle
and
people
should
have
stayed
away
from
there
and
it
was
vandalism,
arson,
death
threats,
and
I
found
out
recently
that
your
a
couple-
your
neighbors
got,
assaulted,
also,
which
really
wasn't
cool.
T
T
T
Yet
we're
not
going
after
people
that
are
committing
arson,
vandalism,
death
threats,
they
get
a
free
pass
what's
going
on
here,
sam.
Why
is
that?
Okay,
and
I
would
appreciate,
if
you
tell
me
to
call
you
or
send
you
an
email,
give
me
the
courtesy
of
responding
back,
because
I
just
don't
want
that
stuff
getting
buried.
You
know
I'm
trying
to
build
a
bridge
right
here
and
I
feel
like
I'm
getting
slapped
in
the
face.
R
Yes,
this
is
lillian
from
district
six.
I
want
to
just
thank
councilwoman
arenas
for
addressing
the
issue
of
domestic
violence
once
again,
judge
chapman
chapman
excuse
me
was
a
true
visionary,
her
program
golden
grandmas
top
dads.
These
are
things
that
we
hope
that
the
city
continues
to
look
into
and
continues
to
address.
Life
moves
24-hour
hotline.
These
are
really
important
things
that
people
in
domestic
violence
situations
need.
They
have
domestic
violence
situations
at
any
time
of
the
day
and
night,
and
without
a
24-hour
hotline.
R
That
can
mean
the
difference
between
life
and
death
to
somebody
in
a
domestic
violence
situation,
but
I
am
also
calling
on
the
procurement
program
in
the
economic
development
commission
november
23rd
addressed.
We
are
talking
about
small
businesses
and
honestly
during
the
covid.
What
I
call
the
covet
era,
because
it's
still
going
on
small
businesses
have
really
become
to
the
forefront.
R
The
federal
government
is
funding
it.
The
state
wants
to
fund
small
businesses.
We
know
that
so
many
people
are
employed
through
small
business.
It's
something
you
can't
just
simply
think!
Well,
you
know
when
everything
goes
back
to
normal.
Small
business
will
be
back
to
normal.
It's
not
going
to
be
the
same
ever
again,
so
our
community
needs
to
address
the
issue
that
small
businesses
need
to
stay
here
more
than
ever
with
the
big
businesses
and
the
big
corporations
leaving
the
future
of
a
healthy
city
such
as
san
jose
depends
on
small
business.
R
When
we
talk
about
individual
contractors,
small
home
businesses,
entrepreneurial
individuals
who
want
to
start
something,
we
are
talking
about
a
dialogue
that
has
to
continue
and
where
our
city
will
benefit
from
that.
So
hopefully,
the
city
will
break
through
the
barriers
that
will
allow
women,
minorities
and
people
of
color
to
access
funding
that
enriches
the
lives
of
the
san
jose
citizens.
Thank
you.
E
Yeah
robert
gear,
here
I'd
like
to
talk
about
the
unhoused
that
are
currently
out
there
and
the
many
thousands
of
them
that
will
possibly
be
joining
them
as
a
result
of
the
moratorium
ending
and
people's
inability
to
pay
rent.
I
think
we
have
to
have
a
much
more
humane
way
of
looking
at
these
things
and
we
don't
have
an
accurate
count.
The
point
in
time
count
was
put
off
this
year.
E
I
think
I
think
we're
taking
a
very
sad
look
at
the
way
things
are,
are
set
up
and
we're
not
really
addressing
the
big
problem,
and
the
problem
is,
of
course,
we're
expecting
many,
many
more
people
to
become
unhoused
and
we're
not
prepared
for
that.
So
I
think
everyone
that's
on
that
diet.
E
That
has
had
a
hand
in
this
conversation
before
needs
to
step
up,
and
we
need
to
start
looking
at
this
thing
very
seriously,
because
a
lot
of
people
will
die
as
a
result
of
being
out
there
and
not
having
any
experience
with
how
to
survive
in
the
outdoors
and
we
need.
We
need
to
really
look
at
this
very
seriously.
E
So
please,
I'm
begging
of
you,
please
all
of
you
on
the
diet.
Please
do
something
to
try
to
resolve
this
issue
and
let's
get
this
problem
solved,
while
we
have
an
opportunity
before
a
lot
of
people
die.
So
thank
you
very
much.
Bye.
