A
Good
afternoon,
everyone
we'll
call
the
meeting
to
order
for
the
afternoon
of
February,
4th
and
I
believe
it
would
be
madness.
Is
that
right,
we'll
be
introducing
our
indicator?
I
have
a
habit,
take
high
of
the
Chua
bow
folk,
Vietnamese
temple
and
we're
grateful
to
have
several
of
the
clergy
here
from
the
temple.
It's
wonderful
to
welcome
you
councilor
of
minutes.
Thank.
B
You
so
so
mayor,
as
you
said,
the
12
bow
Luke
is
a
Vietnamese
temple
off-center
road
in
district
2
right
on
the
border
of
district
2
in
district
7.
It's
led
by
abbot
hi-tech,
Cho
bow
hoop
welcomes
everyone
from
all
neighborhoods
backgrounds,
ages,
ethnicities
and
religions.
At
all
times,
the
temple
was
founded
in
2007
and
settled
in
district
2
in
2008,
and
since
then
the
temples
Chapel
has
been
a
staple
in
the
community.
B
The
temple
is
often
open
or
is
always
open
for
walk-in
visitors,
with
the
intent
to
bring
harmony
to
the
community
and
to
provide
a
space
where
people
can
find
their
peace.
This
temple
not
only
teaches
about
Buddhism,
but
also
is
a
compassion
and
harmony
with
about
300,
regular
members.
The
temple
welcomes
all
residents
to
come
for
spiritual
support
and
other
needs,
such
as
health
care,
information,
Vietnamese
language,
school,
martial
arts,
school
and
a
meditation
centre.
Please
join
me
in
welcoming
abbot
high
tech,
who
will
be
performing
a
prayer
invocation
reflecting
on
love,
kindness
and
mindfulness.
C
C
C
C
C
C
C
C
C
C
C
C
C
C
C
C
C
Compression
contemplation
will
be
peaceful,
happy
and
is
in
body
as
well
received
in
re,
safe
and
free
from
an
harm
in
orbit,
free
from
anger,
fear
and
as
deeds.
They
are
be
able
to
gain
understanding
from
loving-kindness
and
compassion
the
early
apples
to
crow
the
see,
Bob
job
and
Happiness
every
day
from
Britain.
C
A
D
D
Not
only
just
doing
the
story
time
that
we
all
know
happens
at
our
libraries
but
she's
taken
the
effort
to
translate
children's
books
into
Chinese
so
essentially
creating
an
additional
Chinese
storytime,
for
you
know
Chinese
speakers
and
also
making
herself
available
to
educate
the
community
about
her
homeland
of
of
China
and
so
not
just
for
the
efforts
that
she's
put
into
it.
But
the
dedication
and
consistency
she's
done
for
over
a
year
now,
I
would
like
to
recognize
her
exceptional
volunteer
service
and
present
her
with
this
combination
on.
E
F
I'm
very
lucky
to
work
with
Melissa
in
education,
Park
branch
library,
our
program
focused
on
children's
early
education.
It
provides
a
lot
of
help
for
children
to
read
with
different
language.
Children
are
the
future
of
the
world,
so
it's
my
honor
to
do
something
for
children,
while
some
our
community.
Thank
you.
D
A
A
A
A
Item
2.5
I
just
wanted
to
disclose
that
I've
traveled
to
Washington,
see
for
the
US
mayor's
conference,
an
opportunity
to
speak,
speak
and
meet
with
Senator
Carla
Harris
on
and
with
her
staff
about
some
housing
issues
that
we
know
there
are
some
challenges
with
financing
need
to
use,
in
particular
that
we
could
use
some
federal
help.
With
should
note
that
Senator
Harris
had
been
up
till
2:00
in
the
morning
per
night
on
an
impeachment
hearing
met
with
me.
A
I
think
at
8:30
the
next
morning,
so
be
assured
that
we
have
a
very
hard
working,
senator
working
for
us
in
DC
and
also
spoke
on
four
panels
at
the
u.s.
mayor,
Scott
prints
relating
to
various
issues
from
our
efforts
on
Digital
Inclusion
to
gun,
violence
and
sustainability,
as
well
as
Electra's
iliyan
C
of
our
electric
grid.
I
A
A
F
Jennifer
Hearn
I
work
for
San,
Jose
police
communications,
I've
been
here
a
couple
times
and
I
feel
it's
important,
then
when
you
come
and
ask
make
a
plea
for
help,
and
that
is
honored
and
acknowledge
that
we
also
need
to
acknowledge
thank
you
for
hearing
us
out
and
for
stepping
outside
the
box.
Thank
you,
Jeff
for
Schembri
and
her
group
for
letting
us
kind
of
go
outside
the
box
and
hash
some
things
out
on
behalf
on
police
and
fire
communications.
We
thank
you.
F
We
were
able
to
retain
two
people
on
the
pd
side
because
of
that
we
are
losing
four
to
two
retirements,
which
is
gonna
happen
to
for
another
agency
because
they
make
$25,000
more,
but
I
know
we're
working
on
that,
but
we
also
have
someone
training,
so
we're
hoping
that
kind
of
help
us
bring
the
numbers
up
a
little
bit.
I
also
would
like
to
take
this
moment
to
publicly
thank
my
co-workers
for
PD
and
fire
communications.
F
They
need
to
be
recognized
that
they
might
remain
resilient.
They
dig
deep
to
keep
the
9-1-1
services
afloat.
We
are
not
out
of
the
woods
yet.
We
are
still
in
a
critical
situation,
but
they
give
every
day
to
help
the
community
to
cake
that
moving
I'm,
confident
that
we
can
continue
to
all
work
together
to
find
solutions,
I'm,
really
hoping
that
that
happens
and
that
you
guys
will
support.
Also
the
EB
1945
bill
to
see
us
as
first
responders.
F
A
Geoffrey.
Thank
you.
Thank
you
for
comments.
I
will
also
want
to
thank
Jennifer
Schembri
and
the
bargaining
teams
both
for
the
city,
as
well
as
for
each
of
the
individual
unions,
and
really
want
to
thank
the
communication.
Specialists
dispatchers
all
the
hard
working
people
on
our
emergency
communications,
who
are
there
every
single
day
every
hour
to
respond
to
our
residents
and
times
of
greatest
need,
and
they
are
a
lifeline,
certainly
for
our
community,
any
comments
or
motion
motion
from
Council
member
frawls
and
her
a
second
customary
minutes.
Let's
vote.
A
J
It
yep
we
have
staff
in
the
audience.
Thank
you
well
again,
I'm
very
supportive
of
this,
and
thank
you
so
much
for
going
through
the
process.
I
know
that
it
wasn't
quite
what
we
had
asked
for,
but
it's
a
good
start
and
I
think
that
this
leveraged
well
will
go
a
long
way
in
terms
of
supporting
our
community
and
the
efforts
that
we've
outlined.
I
guess
the
other
question
I
have
is
or
a
question
that
I
have.
K
Thanks
council,
member
karrasco,
yes,
the
I
actually
spoke
via
email
with
the
governor's
office
on
business
and
economic
development.
This
afternoon,
because
the
grant
announced
the
the
solicitation
did
not
come
out
yesterday,
which
was
the
day
it
was
expected.
So
sometime
within
the
next
week
or
two
is
what
they're
saying
we
provided
some
very
detailed
feedback
to
them,
as
did
a
number
of
other
jurisdictions,
and
they
are
taking
all
of
that
into
account
before
they
release
the
final
grant
solicitation
and
they
will
extend
the
grant
deadline
into
March.
So
we
are
preparing.
K
We
have
a
team
member
who's
working
on
our
cannabis
equity
assessment
right
now,
and
hopefully
we
will
have
that
done
in
time.
So
we
can
be
in
the
right
category,
but
we're
we're
still
not
sure
what
the
final
solicitation
will
look
like
and
we
reviewed
the
draft
in
detail
and-
and
it
looks
like
we
might
have
an
opportunity
to
get
some
additional
funding
and.
K
In
fact,
go-biz
actually
called
me
directly
to
ensure
that
we
would
provide
feedback
on
the
grant
the
draft
grant
solicitation
and
talked
to
us
about
our
program
and
where
we
were
at,
and
it's
really
too
different
pots
of
money
from
the
state
budget.
And
so
it's
it's.
It's
an
entirely
new
grant
process
with
this
other
pot
of
money.
Okay,.
K
J
You
and
so,
and
thank
you
for
also
working
with
our
cannabis
community.
Those
who
have
been
part
of
the
equity
vision
for
the
city
of
San,
Jose
I,
know
that
you'll
probably
continue
to
I
anticipate
that
you'll
continue
to
work
with
them
hand
in
hand
until
this
funding
comes
through,
regardless
of
when
that
that
funding,
materializes
yeah.
K
A
A
A
I
A
I
D
Yeah,
so
fleet
looks
for
pursuit
rated
vehicles
for
the
police
department.
It's
a
number
of
items
that
will
classify
a
vehicle
as
pursuit
rated
we're
talking
heavy-duty
systems
that
are
on
the
vehicles,
such
as
charging
systems,
brake
system,
suspension
systems,
its
configuration
of
the
cab
where
the
transmission
shifter
is
located
to
accommodate
additional
equipment,
that's
within
the
police
vehicle
and
also
the
ability
to
support
onboard
communication
systems
that
the
police
vehicles
require.
D
There's
MDC's,
which
are
mobile
data
computers
that
are
on
the
vehicles
and
usually
those
the
pursuit
rated
vehicles
are
ramped
up
as
far
as
like
reserve
capacity
to
support
those
systems.
So
technology
is
not
quite
there
yet
for
an
all-electric
police
vehicle
from
what
we've
been
collecting
from
the
different
manufacturers
being
that
Ford
is
introducing
a
hybrid
model.
That
is
a
big
step
in
the
police
world.
As
far
as
it
excuse
me,
vehicles
go
and
it's
gonna
really
put
a
breakthrough
as
far
as
fuel
savings
goes
thereafter.
A
Well,
thank
you
for
that
I
appreciate.
We
can't
move
in
faster
than
the
technology
show.
Thanks
for
your
efforts.
Also
thanks
for
giving
us
the
information
about
the
cost,
so
I
understand
arranges
whether
it's
gas,
it's
about
36,000,
to
44,000
a
vehicle
but
I
bred,
sir,
just
to
understand
what
we're
buying
here.
Would
this
be
roughly
50
vehicles.
A
I
A
D
A
H
Good
afternoon
John
Risto,
director
of
Transportation
and
deputy
city
manager,
just
one
there
is
no
presentation.
We
just
want
to
briefly
recap:
on
the
28th
of
January,
we
conducted
a
study
session
for
the
council
to
consider
information
on
decision
number
three
for
the
deer,
an
integrated
station
concept
plan.
We
prepared
a
supplemental
memo
for
today
and
we
also
did
receive
the
blue
memo
from
Council
members
may
Earl,
Accardo,
councilmembers,
Jimenez,
Perales,
Davis
and
Esparza
and
staff
supports
the
recommendations
contained
therein.
That's
it.
K
G
You,
mayor
I,
guess
I'm
a
little
surprised
too,
and
maybe
it's
the
speed
of
the
agenda
or
if
it's
because
we
heard
it
a
number
of
times
and
so
III
have
a
couple
comments
and
then
questions,
but
I
am
chewing
on
the
idea
of
maybe
potentially
you
know,
hearing
the
next
two
items
and
then
coming
back
to
this
to
give
at
least
a
little
bit
more
more
time.
If
anybody
wanted
to
show
up
I
kind
of
hate.
G
For
the
last
thing
to
be
that
somebody
showed
up,
and
just
at
least
didn't
get
their
last
word
and
I'm,
not
personally
aware
of
anybody
that
that
was
saying
they
were
coming
out.
But
I
do
know.
There
was
media
that
was
interested
in
it
and
had
been
interviewing
interviewing
some
people
that
had
stated
that
they
were
gonna
come
so
that
you.
H
A
A
L
L
Why
of
this
is
that
we
would
be
creating
an
affordable
housing
ownership
opportunity
for
those
four
folks,
and
we
would
also
preserve
the
paulson
apartments,
the
1910
Mission
Revival
style
building,
and
we
would
be
strengthening
the
overall
neighborhood
the.
How
is
the
initial
move
costs
for
moving
the
paulson
to
this
location
range
and
it's
early?
We
have
initial
estimates
somewhere
between
70,000
and
220,000
and
that
the
initial
estimates
for
foundations
for
the
new
location
range
between
150,000
and
200,000
square
feet.
L
Katie
urban
has
committed
to
pay
for
moving
costs
and
habitat
commits
to
renovate
the
structure.
So
the
next
step,
if
council
approves,
will
be
to
finalize
the
option
agreement
and
then
to
work
habitat
will
work
with
Katie
urban
to
finalize
costs
and
see
what
can
be
covered
and
how
habitat
would
fund
the
overall
project
and
with
that
staff
is
available
for
any
questions
and
I.
Believe
Rob
is
from
habitat
is
in
the
audience.
A
F
A
G
Just
a
couple
comments,
so
thank
you.
Nancy
and
I
want
to
thank
Kim
as
well,
and
thank
the
members
of
the
preservation,
Action
Council,
who
came
out
to
show
their
support
for
this
as
well
and
and
for
their
contribution
of
ten
thousand
dollars
to
Habitat
for
Humanity,
as
a
small
local
nonprofit
dedicated
to
preserving
our
history.
G
Making
that
contribution
to
be
able
to
support
this
effort
is
really
a
great,
a
great
effort
on
your
part
and
again,
and
thank
you
for
for
joining
us
in
celebrating
that
before
the
council
meeting
kicked
off
today
and
I
want
to
thank
Katie
urban
as
well
for
their
partnership.
On
this.
We
we
went
back
and
forth
for
a
little
bit
and
trying
to
be
able
to
come
to
a
good
conclusion
and
I'm
really
glad
that
we
have
found
a
location
and
found
a
partner
and
have
a
willing
developer.
A
Or
to
thank
everyone
for
their
hard
work
on
this
and
also
think
Katie
properties
for
their
commitment
of
of
what
will
be
hundreds
of
thousands
of
dollars
to
move
this.
This
building
I
need
to
be
a
stick-in-the-mud
I
just
want
to
ask
some
questions:
cuz
I'm
concerned
about
some
gaps
and
also,
perhaps
maybe
the
opportunity
costs,
and
by
that
I
mean
the
opportunity
crops
to
build
higher
density,
affordable
housing
project
if
this
will
combine
with
other
parcels
and
so
forth.
So
I
really
appreciate
the
information
you
provided
over
the
weekend
Nancy.
A
L
Speaking
with
rob,
Simons,
yes,
they're,
looking
for
the
possibility
of
one
continuing
the
conversation
with
mr.
Tracy
nee
to
see
if
there
are
any
other
funds,
so
I
just
want
to
be
clear
about
that.
But
Robert
also
understands
the
potential
for
needing
to
cover
that
from
financing
sources
he's
already
committed
to
the
rehabilitation
of
the
home
prior
to
sale.
So
in
these
early
days
he
would
of
course
be
looking
to
secure
financing
before
moving
much
further.
L
A
And
you
mentioned
Rob
is
here
Rob?
Would
you
have
a
moment
to
speak?
Thank
you
thank
you
for
attending.
Welcome
and
thanks
for
all
the
work
that
habitat
does
I'm
just
curious
about
this
issue
about
us
having
to
to
sell
the
land
and
becoming
just
kind
of
increasingly
aware
of
the
perils
of
our
loss,
of
ability
to
to
have
land
that
we
know
we
might
need
particularly
strategic
locations
like
this
one,
which
is
near
freeway.
You
can
imagine.
A
Transportation
needs
changed
by
the
decades
and
at
some
point,
city
may
may
need
the
land
for
one
thing
or
another
and
I
know
that
it's
very
common
in
places
like
Hawaii,
where
people
have
lease
holds
that
last
50
years
or
99
years,
which
is
essentially
ownership
of
the
of
the
property
they
get
all
the
benefits
of
it.
But
the
underlying
land
may
still
be
held
in
fee
by
say
the
city
and
I'm.
Just
wondering.
E
There
are
ways
in
which
we
can
structure
a
transaction
in
which
there
would
be
a
long
term
ground
lease
they're,
typically
done
a
75,
80
90
99
years,
I.
Think
quite
a
bit
of
Foster
City
has
actually
done
on
on
ground
lease
situations
like
that.
The
only
real
issue
at
the
end
of
the
day
other
than
it
adds
layers
and
layers
of
paperwork
with
the
homeowners
that
will
ultimately
purchase.
E
One
of
the
condos
that
we
develop
on
the
property
would
be
that
at
some
point
in
time
out
at
the
end
of
that
ground,
lease
situation,
the
property
value,
the
value
of
the
homes
tends
to
decrease
when
there's
only
5
or
10
years
left
on
the
underlying
ground
lease
the
uncertainty
of.
What's
going
to
happen.
Moving
forward
once
that
ground
lease
expires,
causes
the
value
of
the
homes
to
drop
dramatically
fair.
E
There's
quite
a
bit
of
things
that
need
to
be
negotiated
still
out
here.
I
mean
we've
been
working.
Hypothetically
we've
done
some
work
with
a
civil
engineer
to
determined
that
it
looks
like
the
building
can
be
situated
on
this
piece
of
property,
but
nothing
is
definitive.
Yet
until
we
get
some,
you
know
quite
a
few.
More
studies
done
work
through
setback
issues,
things
like
that
and
and
meet
the
requirements
of
the
city
to
relocate
the
building
to
this
property,
but
we're
comfortable
that
we
can
do
that.
A
Thank
you
and
then
Nancy
just
a
question
about
you
know
it
seems
that
there's
underdeveloped
parcels
immediately
adjacent
and
I
know.
Typically
you
know
Jackie
or
back
in
the
old
redevelopment
days.
We'd
look
at
those
opportunities
as
opportunities
to
aggregate
parcels
and
they'll
build
a
larger
development.
Maybe
would
house
a
lot
more
people
etc.
Is
that
something
we
explored
it
all
here?
Absolutely.
L
And
we
are
still
talking
to
an
adjacent
property
owner
who
may,
in
the
long
run
after
working
with
housing
and
potentially
on
Ellis
issues
because
of
the
types
of
homes
that
are
already
in
the
area
who
may
be
interested
in
purchasing
the
other
5,000
roughly
square
feet
just
and
and
that
that's
a
potential.
There
isn't
anything
near
term
that
has
been
recently
discussed
from
from
that
suitor
to
us
and
just
to
make
clear
because
it
would
be
going
to
a
private
entity.
A
Okay
and
you're,
referring
to
that
the
property,
it
runs
parallel
to
280
a
portion
of
that
property.
Okay.
Well,
thank
you
for
that
I'm
happy
to
support
this
I
just
asked.
If
the
make
of
the
motion
might
consider
from
the
amendment
to
encourage
staff
to
explore
a
long
term
lease
for
a
dollar
a
century
or
whatever,
it
might
be,
essentially
a
no-cost
lease
that
would
enable
the
city
to
have
the
land
at
some
point
in
the
future.
G
I
guess
I
kind
of
want
to
be
convinced
on
what
you
feel
right
is.
It
sounds
like
sure
you
mention
a
lot
of
paperwork,
it's
possible.
If
there's
no
heartache
on
Habitat
for
Humanity's
and
and
you
say,
look,
we
can
totally
roll
with
a
99
year
lease
and
we
think
that
that's
completely
feasible
in
the
you
know.
We've
we
think
we've
worked
through
the
issues
with
the
future
homeowners
great.
Then
then
I'm
willing
to
accept
the
friendly
amendment.
G
E
G
You
don't
think
that
it's
gonna
throw
any
other
wrench,
or
this
mayor
put
a
stick
in
the
mud
in
regards
to
the
what
you
have
to
now
go
through
still
with
with
obviously
the
the
other
cost.
In
addition
to
moving
this
and
the
foundation
and
other
issues,
you
don't
think
this
is
gonna
bring
any
other
issues
in
that
regard.
I
I.
A
You
Sara
with
a
senator
yes,
okay,
all
right
again,
thanks
to
habitat
for
other
the
work
with
the
city,
particularly
on
what
we're
working
on
right
now
over
on
101,
and
it
may
vary
appreciate
all
that
you
guys
do
alright.
Any
other
comments
on
this
item.
Let's
both
oh
wait,
I'm,
sorry,
Mike,
so
dragon
did
submit
a
card,
might
come
on
down.
A
H
And
they
say
boy:
we
really
need
to
save
this
palace
and
apartment
building,
because
it
tells
a
great
story
about
San
Jose.
We
didn't
talk
about
it
in
the
press
release
today,
but
some
amazing
stories
that
we're
gonna
reveal
in
the
next
week's
here.
Imagine
the
developer
needs
to
really
clear
his
property
so
that
he
can
build
a
lot
of
new
housing
right.
Imagine
a
city
that
is
trying
to
reconcile
a
bunch
of
seemingly
incompatible
goals
of
providing
housing,
preserving
the
place
to
be
a
nice
place
to
live.
H
Preserving
you
know
historic
places
and
a
mat.
Imagine
a
housing,
a
nonprofit
that
wants
to
build
houses
in
the
most
expensive
place
in
the
planet,
to
build
houses
that
we
could
call
her
for
affordable.
Well,
that
just
happened
right
from
our
perspective.
We
are
so
proud
of
our
city
department
that
has
dealt
with
this
issue
and
we
just
could
not
speak
more
in
favor
of
this
particular
resolution.
Thank
you
very
much
mayor.
Thank.
A
M
N
Awesome
yeah
good
afternoon
so
John
says
rally
director
of
parks,
recreation,
neighborhood
services
to
my
left,
knee
Ruffino
assistant,
director
of
parks,
recreation
neighborhood
services
and
to
his
left,
Olympia
Williams
program
manager,
who
has
oversight
of
anti
graffiti,
among
other
things,
so
gonna
run
through
a
quick
presentation.
This
is
council
priority
number
25,
I
believe
we've
finally
come
to
a
conclusion
and
a
recommendation
that
helps
close
this
item
out
and
improve
the
process.
So
we'll
explain
that
to
you
briefly
and
then
available
for
any
questions
or
comments.
You
have
okay.
O
Thanks
John,
newer,
Fino,
again
assistant
director
parks,
recreation,
Neighborhood
Services,
as
you
know,
Olympia
he
or
she
oversees
the
anti
graffiti
program
as
part
of
our
department's
overall
beautified
s:j
program.
Anti
graffiti
Dee's
purpose
is
to
remove
graffiti
through
community
involvement
eradication
and
enforcement.
Well,
I
would
also
like
to
thank
Peter
Hamilton
from
the
city
manager's
office
for
all
his
research
and
support
inside
of
this
project.
Our
anti
graffiti
program,
through
our
contractors,
GPC
eradicate
over
2
million
square
feet
of
graffiti
each
year.
O
Our
overall
goal
is
to
remove
graffiti
within
72
hours
and
we're
closely
with
our
jurisdictional
partners
like
Caltrans
and
PG&E,
to
remove
graffiti
on
their
property
as
quickly
as
possible.
This
presentation
is
going
to
focus
on
our
strategy
to
better
coordinate
removal
of
graffiti
on
private
property.
O
Summary
Bateman
of
graffiti
right
is
the
process
under
which
a
jurisdiction
of
beach
graffiti
on
private
property,
without
consent
of
the
property
owner
and
without
going
to
court
to
obtain
a
warrants.
The
ordinance
that
we
researched
in
the
city
of
South,
Lake
Tahoe,
uses
this
as
uses
and
establishes
a
summary
of
bateman
process.
Our
research
with
South
Lake
Tahoe
was
that
the
summary
abatement
was
rarely
enforced
in
their
process
of
fines
and
notifications
were
sufficient
to
motivate
compliance
prior
to
this
effort
in
2013
through
the
anti
graffiti
program
audit.
O
The
auditor
also
recommended
us
that
the
city
develop
an
implied
consent
process
allowing
the
city
to
remove
graffiti.
After
review
of
this
recommendation
with
the
City
Attorney's
Office.
This
recommendation
was
closed
without
implementation
due
to
concerns
over
private
property
rights
in
recent
years.
O
The
city
has
only
use
a
summary
abatement
without
the
users
consent
again
once
in
the
past
five
years
in
terms
to
allow
to
us
to
remove
threatening
gang
graffiti,
as
such
staff
does
not
recommend
expanding
the
use
of
summary
abatements
as
a
regular
course
of
action
and
as
stated
earlier,
PRN
s
does
recommend
a
process
improvement
that
we
will
believe
will
get
to
us,
get
to
the
ultimate
goal
of
removing
graffiti
on
private
property.
Much
more
quickly.
A
P
Of
the
amounts
of
graffiti
that
we
deal
with
on
private
property,
this
chart
kind
of
shows
what
we
receive
from
2016-17
through
2018
19.
You
notice
that
we
did
continue
to
receive
increased
complaints
about
graffiti
on
private
property,
essentially
going
from
a
little
over
1,700
to
nearly
2,400.
Over
the
last
three
years
we
make
site
visits
each
time
we
receive
a
complaint
on
private
property.
We
initially
had
over
1,600
we're
down
to
about
a
little
over
1100.
P
That's
because
most
of
the
property,
that's
private
property,
that's
graffiti
kind
of
repeat
property,
so
we
tend
to
have
them
in
our
database.
We
can
go
to
a
phone
list,
call
them
discuss
it
with
them
and
work
with
them
to
get
it
removed.
We
sent
out
about
315
compliance
letters
last
year
and
with
those
compliance
letters,
there
were
only
13
referrals
that
we
made
over
to
code
enforcement
that
came
from
the
anti-graffiti
program.
I
want
to
note,
however,
that
residents
oftentimes
will
report
graffiti
directly
to
code
enforcement.
P
These
are
just
the
number
of
complaints
that
come
to
the
anti-graffiti
program.
We
have
approximately
200,000
square
feet
of
graffiti
that
we
removed
off
of
private
property
that
we
coordinate
the
removal
of
internally
or
with
the
property
owner
last
year.
To
give
you
an
idea,
we
abated
2.4
million
square
feet
of
graffiti
in
fiscal
year
1819.
P
This
chart
here
kind
of
walks
you
through
what
our
current
process
is.
So
the
anti
graffiti
program,
which
is
on
the
left
and
the
lime
green.
We
receive
a
complaint,
a
parent,
a
staff
member
typically
goes
out
to
review
that
complaint,
look
at
the
location
and
determine
whether
it's
truly
on
public
property
or
private
property.
If
it's
on
private
property,
then
we
work
with
them
so
that
we
can
make
that
site
visit.
We
attempt
to
make
contact
with
the
property
owner
and
offer
either
a
courtesy
abatement
or
free
paint.
P
Then,
if
the
property
owner
provides
consent
for
courtesy
abatement,
we
usually
send
them
a
if
they
don't
provide
that
consent
for
courtesy
abatement
staff
will
send
them
a
compliance
letter,
giving
them
ten
days
to
remove
it.
At
that
point,
we
close
out
that
work
order
request.
If
there
was
another
complaint
that
comes
in
within
that
ten
days,
you
see
that
arrow
kind
of
take
you
all
the
way
to
the
top,
and
then
it
goes
over
to
the
code
enforcement.
At
that
point,
code
enforcement
starts
another
process.
P
They
receive
the
complaint
about
graffiti
on
private
property
code.
They
will
perform
a
site
inspection.
If
a
violation
is
fine,
they
send
a
warning
notice
to
the
property
owner,
giving
them
within
10
to
14
days
to
abate.
It
code.
Staff
tonry
inspects
the
site
to
determine
if
it's
been
brought
into
compliance.
If
the
site
is
not
in
compliance
than
a
citation
that
includes
a
$250
finest
cent
code
staff
then
will
inspect
the
site
again
and
if
they
have
not
complied,
then
they
kind
of
move
into
this
escalating
fines
of
$500
and
$1000.
P
If
fines
are
not
sufficient
to
motivate
compliance,
then
code
will
then
go
to
an
appeals,
hearing
board
or
other
kinds
of
things,
such
as
a
city
warrant.
What
we
have
found,
though,
is
that
code
has
not
been
able
to
find
an
instance
where
they'd
had
to
utilize.
This
and
usually
finds
is
enough
to
motivate
people
to
remove
graffiti.
P
So
our
recommendation
to
kind
of
really
deal
with
graffiti
on
private
property
is
to
have
staff
re-inspect
sites
where
there
is
a
second
complaint
and
fourth,
the
complaint
to
the
Code
Enforcement
Division,
thereby
shortening
the
abatement
process.
So
essentially,
what
we
do
is
say:
we've
rien,
spected
the
site
and
instead
of
going
all
the
way
to
the
top
and
starting
that
code
enforcement
process.
P
Again,
we
basically
now
I
believe
that's
a
blue
line,
kind
of
wery
inspected
the
site
we'd
send
over
an
affidavit
with
the
photograph,
any
information
regarding
the
graffiti
on
private
property,
and
we
did
essentially
at
that
point
go
back
to
fine.
We
go
directly
to
find
staff
proposes
this
streamlined
process
because
it
allows
us
to
re-inspect
those
sites
and
then
address
that
issue
at
that
time.
We
do
not,
at
this
point,
recommend
that
we
use
other
options
to
deal
with
this
particular
issue,
but
there
are
two
other
options
that
we
can
consider.
P
There
you
are
so
other
policy
options
could
include
kind
of
a
anti
graffiti
program.
Staff
would
re-inspect
sites
where
compliance
letter
is
sent.
If
you
recall
from
the
slide
a
couple
slides
before
they
were
about
315
sites
in
1819
that
we
had
to
cynical
clients
that
are
performing
re-inspections
of
all
sites,
where
compliance
letter
ascend
would
relieve
the
public
of
the
need
to
file
a
second
complaint
before
cases
refer
to
code
enforcement,
this
would
require
more
staff
and
resources
to
do.
This
is
not
an
option
that
we
would
recommend.
P
The
second
option
is
really
be
able
to
look
kind
of
at
our
business
tax
rate
raishin
process.
Although
modifications
to
the
business
tax
registration
process
could
be
explored,
it
is
not
recommended,
as
the
registration
process
is
only
completed
once
when
a
business
commences
operation
in
the
city
of
San
Jose,
and
it
would
not
capture
existing
business
bases
that
are
currently
registered
with
the
city.
This
alternative
would
also
exclude
residential
property
and
other
non-business
property
from
the
process,
as
they
may
not
be
required
to
even
register
for
the
business
tax.
A
C
M
I
just
is
there
also
any
you
know,
I,
don't
want
to
give
you
more
things
to
do,
but
is
there
any
way
for
those
people
that
who
are
repeat
customers
of
the
graffiti
program?
Is
there?
Is
there
a
way
to
streamline
their
requests
to
so
that
they
don't
have
to
go
through
that
whole?
You
know
even
the
short
cut.
Can
they
just
call
you
and
say
hey,
we
need
it
and
we'll
put
we
need
this
cleaned
up
and
we'll
pay
for
it.
P
So
at
this
time
we
don't
have
a
process.
Well,
business
owners
can
come
directly
to
us
and
pay
the
city
to
remove
graffiti.
What
we
have
found
is
that
those
repeat
customers
we
tend
to
give
them
custom
match
paints
to
their
building,
as
well
as
the
paint
supplies,
and
they
tend
to
take
it
down
on
a
regular
basis,
so
they
just
tend
to
be
in
areas
where
they
have
a
blank
wall.
That's
just
a
canvas
and
they're
in
an
area
where
it
just
attracts
a
lot
of
tagging.
Yeah.
M
So
I'll
make
a
motion
to
accept
your
recommendation
and
not
go
further
on
the
on
the
billing
system
and
what
have
you,
but
I
would
like
us
to
to
find
a
way
for
having
those
people
who
want
the
services
to
come
out
on
a
regular
basis
to
to
streamline
that
process
so
that
they
don't
have
to
go
through
even
the
refined
way.
Maybe
we
can
you
know.
My
whole
purpose
was
to
have
them.
M
Opt-In
and
I
still
want
an
opt-in
situation
and
I
and
I
know
that
my
original
suggestion
wasn't
feasible
because
of
all
the
laws
of
trespassing
or
whatever.
What
have
you
was
what
we
discussed,
but
I
would
love
to
have
a
way
where
we
could
figure
this
out
for
the
frequent
fliers.
If
you
will
so
yeah.
N
Thank
You
councilmember,
that's
definitely
something
we
can
explore
and
it's
you
know,
I'm
sure
we
can
just
figure
out.
Well,
you
know:
you're
gonna
reimburse
the
city
but
you'll
have
this
ability
to
come
to
us
directly
versus
trying
to
do
it
yourself
or
waiting
for
someone
to
complain
about
you
and
us
to
call
you
again
right.
M
M
O
N
N
So
we
do
rely
on
that
second
complaint,
but
because
of
that,
as
you
can
see,
there's
a
large
amount
that
we
don't
get
a
second
complaint
on.
So
there's
some
uncertainty
there.
We
just
don't
have
the
bandwidth
to
go
out
to
all
those
places,
so
that
was
really
the
cost.
Analysis
was
if,
if
the
City
Council
wants
us
to
go
back
and
Riaan
SPECT,
when
we
don't
hear
back
after
ten
days,
we
don't
have
a
contact,
we
don't
know
for
sure.
N
If
it
got
taken
down,
you
know
it's
three
or
four
hundred
a
year
on
average,
it's
just
gonna,
take
somebody
time
and
effort
to
go
out
and
find
out
what's
going
on,
so
we
didn't
recommend
it,
because
it's
an
additional
cost
and
overall
we
feel
the
system
is
fairly
efficient.
Most
private
property
owners
are
willing
to
work
with
us,
as
counsel
mcoms
pointed
out,
they're
pretty
happy
with
our
services.
When
we
show
up,
usually
we
can
make
contact
with
them.
It
goes
pretty
smooth
this
one.
We
can't
make
contact
with
them.
N
That's
when
things
get
tracked
up
because
we're
trying
to
find
a
property
or
we're
trying
to
figure
out
a
way
to
get
on
there
or
hold
someone
accountable,
and
that
takes
a
bunch
of
time.
But
most
people
don't
want
the
graffiti
up
there.
Most
people
are
compliant,
but,
as
you
know,
there
are
some
that
aren't
and
they
stop
caring
about
the
cause
they're
just
getting
hit
over
and
over
and
over
again,
and
so
those
tend
to
be
the
difficult
ones
and
those
we
tend
to
establish
relationships
with
because
we're
out
there
so
much
with
them.
N
O
N
Yeah,
it's
a
volume
issue,
I
mean
what
we
think
it
would
take,
is
just
one
extra
person
to
be
able
to
go
out
and
re-inspect
and
or
if
they
make
contact,
then
do
the
pain
or
give
them
pain.
You
know
same
programs,
basically
you're,
just
making
a
second
touch
in
person.
It's
just
the
time
and
effort
to
do
that.
We
think
would
take
another
FTE.
Okay,.
N
N
There
are,
it
adds,
an
expense.
You
know
right
now
for
us
to
just
come
out
and
paint
it.
It's
actually
quite
cheap
and
that's
why
it's
such
a
great
bargain
I
think
so
many
people
like
it
because
they
don't
have
to
do
labor.
They
don't
they're
anything
other
than
pay
us
a
little
bit
of
money,
but
to
put
another
a
surface
on
there,
which
is
possible
and
then,
as
you
guess,
graffiti
gets
on
there
and
you're
cleaning
it
that
does
wear
off
and
you
have
to
reapply
it.
So
it's
an
extra
expense
is
the
issue.
N
I,
don't
know
that
Olympia.
Do
we
offer
that
yeah?
We
don't
offer
it
as
a
service
at
this
point,
one
of
the
things
we
are
contemplating
because
we
are
expecting
more
graffiti
once
the
BART
line
opens
all
the
people
that
are
in
the
know
about
this.
Tell
this
this
will
come
I
mean
we'll
see
more
tagging,
so
we
have
been
trying
to
build
the
budget
a
little
more
to
be
ready
for
that.
N
N
O
F
You
first
off,
thank
you
for
your
work
on
this
process
and
thank
you
for
your
work
every
day.
You
all
do.
The
whole
team
does
a
lot
of
work
and
throughout
the
city,
and
especially
in
district
7,
and
it's
much
appreciated.
I
had
just
one
question,
which
is
I
mean
I,
think
I
know
the
answer,
but
I
just
wanted
to
ask
it
about
Union
Pacific,
particularly
on
some
blighted
properties
or
tagged
properties,
where
ownership
isn't
totally
clear.
P
So
in
November
December
and
early
January
we
had
the
mega
Union
Pacific
Railroad
cleanup.
They
reported
to
me
that
they
abated
approximate
and
they
think
it
was
three
hundred
and
twenty
one
thousand
and
change
square
feet
of
graffiti
outside
of
just
the
Monterey
Quarter.
That
we're
doing
is
a
project
in
District
two.
What
they've
committed
to
is
continuing
to
maintain
those
walls
in
areas
it's
unique
in
that
oftentimes
businesses,
the
back
of
a
business,
may
be
directly
aligned
to
the
railroad,
but
they
don't
have
access
to
go
along
the
railroad
to
paint
it
out.
P
J
Thank
you,
I
just
wanted
to
echo
the
same
thing.
The
same
gratitude
I'm,
very
grateful
for
for
the
work
that
you're
doing
district
5,
of
course,
is
not
a
stranger
to
all
of
you
in
terms
of
your
workload
and
so
I
really
appreciate
when
you're
out
there
and
you're
keeping
our
neighborhood
as
clean
as
possible
and
I
know
that
that's
a
tough
order
and
I'm
thinking.
J
You
know
as
I'm
looking
at
this
policy
I'm
thinking
of
just
as
some
of
the
empty
buildings
that
we
have
up
along
alum
rock
corridor,
which
has
been
a
repeated
concern
for
us
and
and
so
I
appreciate
what
this
will
do
for
the
whole
city.
But
I
really
appreciate
what
this
will
do
for
district
5.
Just
out
of
curiosity,
the
repeat:
offenders
are
those
accessible
to
us.
Can
we
send
them
something
out
of
our
office?
Can
we
connect
with
them
somehow
I
know
that
we
know
some
of
them.
J
H
J
A
Any
other
questions
I
just
had
one
given
how
labor
intensive
summits
work
is
of
getting
out
there
just
to
visually
inspect
and
to
verify
a
complaint.
Have
we
considered
or
explored
using
drones
to
enable
us
to
be
able
to
get
to
more
homes?
Just
do
that
very
simple
task.
Obviously,
I
know
there
are
other
other
things.
We
would
not
rely
on
drones
for,
but
with
a
very
tightly
conscripted
set
of
guidelines
about
how
they
would
get
used.
You
know
something
with
a
camera.
A
N
A
N
You
have
to
get
permits
and
permission,
and
things
like
we
tried
to
do
this
at
some
events
and
it's
a
process
to
be
able
to
have
a
drone
up
in
the
air.
It's
not
impossible,
though,
because
we've
been
able
to
do
it
at
some
of
our
events
and
get
some
great
aerial
shots.
So
it's
certainly
something
we
can
talk
with
the
airport
about
and
see
you
know
could
because
obviously
there's
these
other
business
models
out
there,
like
Amazon
gonna,
fly
drones
all
over
the
place.
N
A
H
Drone
issue
is
on
the
Civic
innovation
roadmap,
so
I
know
we
are
looking
at
how
we
can
operationalize
that,
but,
as
you
mentioned
as
John
mentioned,
there's
a
lot
of
issues
we're
working
through,
but
I
certainly
think
the
utilization
of
drones
and
things
like
inspection
is
in
our
future.
It's
just
working
through
of
the
policy
issues
and
a
privacy
issues
and
all
those
sorts
of
things
yeah.
A
A
P
A
G
M
M
So,
very
briefly,
this
viaduct
is
what
brought
me
out
of
retirement
ten
years
ago
and
at
the
time
I
was
looking
at
the
three
weeks
trail
and
my
friend,
Richard
sapele
was
driving
me
around.
Introducing
me
to
Willow,
Glen
I,
didn't
know
well
again
and
we
were
driving
east
on
Alma
and
at
one
point
two
erste
mian.
One
point
Richard
said
this
is
where
the
high
speed
rail
viaduct
is
gonna,
be
coming
down
and
I
went.
Why
did
you
just
say
Richard
and
the
rest
is
history,
but
the
reason
I
made
the
trip
today.
M
Well,
first
of
all,
when
you
hear
the
item
I
hope
you
will
all
vote
on
this
unanimously
and
you
can
see
they
know
the
members
of
the
public
here.
But
I
want
you
to
revisit
the
tunnel,
because
the
assumptions
on
which
you
discounted
the
tunnel
alignment
with
Falls
they
provided
to
the
city
by
the
same
people
who
were
pushing
the
viaduct
which,
by
the
way,
are
no
longer
on
the
project
and
were
designed
to
make
it
impossible
to
have
any
underground
platforms
on
the
ribbon.
So
moving
forward.
M
I
hope,
you'll,
give
us
the
opportunity
to
sit
down
with
you
and
show
you
what
can
be
done,
how
easily
we
can
be
constructed
and
what
you
can
build
on
top
of
it,
and
you
were
also
the
benefits
in
term
of
our
connectivity
to
the
airport,
and
now
we
can
how
we
can
also
use
the
same
infrastructure
to
basically
limit
the
impact
of
all
these
new
traffic.
That's
going
to
be
going
to
Willow
Glen
encounter.
Thank
you
very
much.
A
H
Well,
today's
been
very
interesting
before
I
talk
about
dear
Adan
I,
just
like
to
say
mr.
acardo,
that
I've
lived
in
San
Jose
30
years,
North
Willig
ins,
North,
Willow,
Glen.
It's
going
to
be
part
of
what
is
known
as
this
new
google
village,
which
is
I'm
not
too
sure
what
that's
actually
going
to
look
like,
but
that's
right
where
I'm
at
there
is-
and
this
is
what
I've
been
trying
but
I've
been
thinking
about.
Speaking
to
you
directly
about
is,
if
you
are
at
oz,
irate
and.
H
Bird
bird
leaves
right
to
the
San
Jose
Sharks
ank.
There
is
an
off-ramp
coming
from
the
North
off
282
bird.
There
is
an
off-ramp
coming
from
280
south.
They
both
come
at
like
that
and
they
dumped
on
bird
Avenue
and
at
the
corner
of
burden.
Rasa
ray
is
the
most
blighted,
little
15,000
square
foot,
maybe
more
area
that
has
been
like
that.
Since
I've
lived
here
over
30
years,
it
has
never
improved.
H
If
possibly,
you
could
leave
that
as
a
as
part
of
your
legacy
to
clean
that
up
with
a
nice
little
Plaza
fountain
to
show
people
coming
from
280
off
and
on
from
all
over
the
world
to
the
new
Google
Village
that
this
is
really
what
San
Jose
looks
like.
This
is
a
horrible
blight
and
it's
been
like
that
for
a
long
time,
the
corner
of
280,
the
corner
of
Asura
and
bird
okay,
but
about
this
train
station
expansion,
I
live
on
I'm.
H
Well,
I
only
found
out
about
it
today.
Okay
and
I
live
right
across
the
street
from
it
and
over
the
years
we
went
through
a
expansion,
it
was
one
it
expanded.
They
built
a
berm,
came
out
15
feet
and
built
another
added
another
track
since
then
they
have
electrified
it.
All
of
this
has
been
ongoing.
Construction
and
I
mean
I
mean.
Can
you
imagine
what
it's
been
like
for
us
to
live
there,
and
now
that
we
here
and
today,
I
only
heard
from
CBS
News?
Who
was
down
there
interviewing
that
you're
going
to
that?
H
There's
an
intention
to
expand
that
by
by
two
tracks.
This
means
that
you're
going
to
have
to
rebuild
those
trusses
they're,
not
there.
They
only
take
two
tracks
that
that's
an
animate,
that's
going
to
be.
One
is
nuts
Tuesday,
sir,
and
the
other
one
goes
across
bird
Avenue,
and
it's
going
to
be
in
an
amazing
piece
of
construction,
but
to
add
that
without
my
ever
having
been
notified
and
no
one
on
my
block
having
ever
been
notified
about
this
expansion,
also,
it's
so
just
I,
don't
know
how
to
say
it
it
just
it
to
me.
H
It's
a
very
visceral
assault
on
my
neighborhood.
That
just
makes
me
want
to
scream,
but
I
realize
you
know,
the
train
is
its
business
and
maybe
you
think
it's
better
for
the
our
neighborhood
to
and
and
the
community
to
expand
this.
These
two
studies,
the
this
railway
entered
into
D
Road
on
station,
but
it's
going
to
be
an
incredibly
disruptive
situation
for
us
for
a
number
of
years,
because
we've
all
thank.
A
R
Absolutely
it's
a
great
question
so
for
this
Deardon
integrated
station
concept
plan,
specifically
that
goes
back
roughly
a
year
and
a
half
so
I'm
not
gonna,
speak
to
the
high
speed
rail
project
Caltrain
project
over
the
years.
But
just
this
this
last
18
months,
we've
had
more
than
more
than
five
community
meetings,
including
workshop
multiple
languages
for
all
of
those
presentations
to
the
stationary
advisory
group,
pop-up
booths
at
Deardon
station,
as
well
as
that
community
groups
online
survey,
online,
Town,
Hall
and
we've
we've
gone
wherever
we
could
in
terms
of
stakeholder
and
neighborhood
groups.
R
For
the
workshop
we
had
on
on
the
three
big
moves
that
we've
been
talking
about
in
December,
and
today
we
had
a
workshop
at
poorhouse
Bistro
on
September
23rd,
and
that
is
the
the
one
time
before
that
that
all
of
the
streets
in
the
Gardner
and
right
along
the
tracks
in
the
North
Willow
Glen
neighborhood.
They
all
received
flyers
in
English
and
Spanish
I.
G
But
as
as
you
just
pointed
out,
Jessica
there's
been
ongoing
conversations
for
close
to
a
decade
in
regards
to
the
the
growth
the
the
different
expansions,
as
the
speaker
talked
about
in
regards
to
the
two
lanes
to
four.
As
we
heard
public
comment
over
the
last
couple
months,
even
the
the
at
one
point
high
speed
rail
talking
about
the
potential
for
five
and
that's
what
brought
up
a
lot
of
anxiety,
which
we
were
able
to
put
that
to
rest
at
our
last
study
session.
G
R
Yeah,
that's
a
great
question
so
in
terms
of
the
strategy
we're
actually
starting
with
the
other
partner
agencies
at
first
and
foremost,
can
we
define
a
project
that,
by
its
design,
avoids
some
of
the
need
to
down
the
road
mitigate
meaning?
Is
there
a
project
that,
because
it
is
designed
as
a
separated
and
very
well
sealed
corridor,
doesn't
have
some
of
the
noise
or
vibration
or
safety
externality?
So
that's
kind
of
the
first
step
in
the
strategy
is
design
the
best
project
moving
forward
in
this
corridor,
but
throughout
the
corridor
as
well.
R
R
B
I'll,
add
to
that
counseling
process,
I
think
for
the
disc
process.
We
we
developed
a
specific
outreach
strategy
forward
as
well
that
certainly
this
council
and
the
other
partner
agency
boards,
you
know
kind
of
gave
us
guidance
on
and
we
developed
something
pretty
specific
to
try
and
get
to
this
stage
in
the
process
and
I
think
we're
now
ready
to
go.
B
So,
in
this
phase,
I
think
we
need
to
develop
something
pretty
specific
to
where
we're
at
in
this
phase
and
I
think
we
as
city
staff,
recognize
a
kind
of
a
special
responsibility
to
really
think
through.
How
do
we
engage
re-engage
people?
You
know
in
the
kind
of
the
entirety
of
the
area
of
the
project
as
well,
so
I
think
we're
going
to
take
a
specific
look
as
a
city
staff
and
then
develop
that
with
our
partner
agencies.
Okay,.
G
Great
thank
you
and
thank
you
to
our
staff
as
well,
for
I.
Think
the
leadership
role
that
the
city
took
in
in
this
regard
and
with
the
dis
process
and
and
really
I
think
knowing
the
the
unease
that
was
in
a
community
with
the
high
speed
rail
process
and
really
wanting
the
city
to
to
step
in
and
take
that
leadership
role.
G
I
think
we
did
that
and
ultimately
having
to
come
to
some
some
pretty
tough
decisions,
but
at
the
same
time,
I
think
what
we
can
feel
comfortable
with
is
that
we
actually
did
vent
this
out.
The
way
that
we
should
have
in
the
way
that
the
community
deserved
and
and
looking
at
all
the
option.
Things
like
what
I
was
interested
in
things
like
moving
all
the
rail
out
of
the
corridor.
G
If
we
were
to
do
an
aerial,
viaduct
and
and
I
think
we
we
can
safely
say
and
and
I
think
my
council
colleagues,
especially
council
member
Davis,
but
also
Jimenez
Esparza
and
our
mayor.
You
know
for
the
work
that
you
were
all
able
to
put
in
responding
to
the
questions
of
concerns
that
we
had
that
our
community
had
and
for
this
process.
It
has
been
a
long
journey
to
get
to
this
point,
but
I
still
a
lot
of
work
ahead
and
appreciate
all
that
work,
and
we
already
had
the
motion
and
I'll
be
supporting
that.
K
You
I
just
want
to
make
sure
for
the
person
who
came
and
spoke
we're
not
at
the
project
level,
yet
we're
just
talking
about
using
the
existing
corridor
for
when
Jared
on
does
get
we
done.
There
is
no
timeline
for
this
project,
there's
no
funding
for
this
project
and,
in
fact,
there's
no
actual
project.
Yet
so
we
don't
even
know
if
we're
gonna
use
for
tracks
it's
up
to
four
tracks.
K
That's
what
we
talked
about
at
the
study
session
last
week
is
that
the
max
number
of
tracks
would
be
four,
but
we
don't
even
know
if
four
are
needed
or
when
the
fourth
track
might
be
needed.
So
that's
one
of
the
things
that
we're
working
out
just
remind
me
is
design
at
2%.
Is
that
kind
of
where
we
are
that's.
K
Well
that
we're
at
so
we're
just
at
we're,
literally
at
boxes
and
moving
Legos
around
we're
not
at
we
have
a
design
plan.
So
we've
been
talking
about
this
for
a
year
and
a
half
and
if
you
live
in
North
Willow
Glen,
you
know
that
that
high-speed
rail
has
been
having
meetings
for
ten
years,
so
we're
we're
still
kind
of
in
those
conceptual
phases.
But
we
have
been
having
and
one
of
my
staff
members
is
there
to
talk
with
you
after
after
we're
done
here.
K
So
you
can
meet
with
me
and
I
can
bring
you
up
to
speed
on
what
we've
been
doing
for
the
last
year
and
a
half,
and
you
can
be
part
of
my
newsletter
as
well,
because
as
councilmember
braless
stated,
we
are
putting
this
information
in
our
newsletters
on
a
regular
basis.
So
I
want
to
make
sure
that
you,
you
are
engaged
going
forward,
because
this
is
a
long-term
process
to
get
the
funding
to
get
the
final
design.
K
There
will
be
many
many
more
meetings
about
finalizing
this
process
and
it's
all
part
of
Deardon
in
the
growth
area,
and
I
just
wanted
to
make
one
more
comment,
and
that
is
I
Drive
by
that
blighted
property
that
you
were
talking
about
every
single
day.
It
drives
me
nuts,
it's
something
that
I've
talked
about
with
with
not
only
city
staff
but
but
with
Google
as
well,
and
ask
them
if
they
could
purchase
the
property.
The
property
owner
is
not
interested
in
selling
so
they're.
K
A
We
have
our
code
enforcement
armed
with
drones,
then
we're
going
to
get
them
yeah,
yeah
I
just
want
to
also
express
appreciation
for
the
frustration
that
I
know.
The
gentleman
feels
as
many
do,
if
they're
not
aware
of
what's
going
on,
and
there
has
been
an
enormous
amount
of
public
conversation
about
this
over
several
years,
but
I
understand
that
is
often
difficult
in
people's
busy
lives
to
be
able
to
get
to
meetings
and
to
understand
the
conversations
they're
happening.
A
A
We've
been
trying
to
find
this
for
a
couple
years
to
figure
out
how
I
wonder
where
he
lived
and
and
all
that,
and
it
was
actually
a
house
that
that
his
parents,
grandparents
and
his
parents
bought
when
they
immigrated
from
Mexico,
is
Reseda
Flores
and
Teodoro
sabes,
and
we
later
discovered
after
searching
and
searching
through
all
these
records
that
the
exact
site
in
West,
William
Street,
which
may
be
you
may
recognize,
doesn't
really
exist,
except
for
a
very
small
snippet
snippet
in
the
gardener.
Neighborhood
essentially
was
paved
over
by
280.
A
So
that
was
the
house
at
some
point.
But
it's
no
longer
and
I'm
venturing
to
guess
that
back
in
those
days
they
did
not
have
multiple
public
meetings
and
hearings
and
engagement
with
the
community
before
houses
disappeared
for
transportation
projects,
and
so
I
am
appreciative
of
the
fact
that
this
is
a
team
at
the
city
that
is
very
deeply
concerned
about
neighborhood
impacts
and
how
they
affect
families
and
neighborhoods
and
I
know
that
we're
going
to
have
a
lot
more
conversation
in
the
months
ahead
and
years
ahead.
A
I
should
say,
because
I
think
councilman
Davis
made
a
very
good
point,
which
is
there's
no
project
yet
we're
about
fourteen
billion
dollars
away
from
the
segments
of
high-speed
rail.
That's
going
to
connect
San
Jose
with
some
point
somewhere
near
I.
Don't
know
Madera
somewhere
up
there,
so
we've
got
a
lot
of
money
that
needs
to
get
allocated
before
this
thing
even
becomes
real,
although
obviously
we're
doing
the
planning
now
and
we'd
love
to
to
get
to
that
point,
and
it
will
be
many
many
years
before
a
shovel
hits
the
ground.
A
J
That's
circled!
That's
why
I
lived
I
lived
directly
in
front
of
Gardner
Elementary,
the
X.
Next
to
it
were
my
cousins
and
their
growing
children
on
Brown
Street,
there's
an
X
on
the
corner.
That
was
a
house
that
my
parents
owned
as
well,
and
my
father's
sister,
with
her
11
children,
lived
in
the
main
house
and
upstairs
my
father
had
what
was
what
could
be
considered
like
SROs,
a
single
residential
occupy.
J
You
know
they,
and
that
was
only
used
during
the
time
that
the
cannery
season
was
in
in
in
full-blown
season,
and
so
relatives
of
ours
would
come
out
and
they
would
stay
with
us
and
he
had
you
know,
probably
10
or
20
bedrooms,
upstairs
I'm
sure
it
was
illegal
mayor,
but
across
the
street
on
Brown
was
another
relative
of
mine.
He
was
actually
one
of
the
first
lottery.
Winners
in
the
state
of
California
I
ended
up
moving
out
to
Gilroy
because
well
he
did
well
down
the
street
on
Brown.
J
You
see
two
exits
in
front
of
each
other.
Those
were
my
cousins
they're
family
and
they
were
both.
My
first
cousins
around
the
corner
was
my
aunt
and
uncle
and
in
the
basement
below
lived
another
entire
family.
That
was
also
relatives
of
mine,
but
I
want
to
draw
your
attention
to
where,
where
I
spent
a
lot
of
my
childhood
during
the
summers
when
I
wasn't
being
supervised,
which
was
on
the
train
tracks
and
of
course
I-
would
never
condone
it.
Anymore.
J
He
died
in
that
house
that
house
eventually
got
torn
down
because
of
they
had
to
abate
the
ground
that
it
was
on
because
it
was
right
next
to
the
trains
now
Habitat
for
Humanity
actually
rebuilt
a
house
there,
but
that
was
the
site
of
my
of
my
dear
uncle's
house
and
his
huge
family
and
then
just
lastly,
the
last
two
X's
at
the
bottom
of
the
screen.
My
mother's
brother,
who
was
like
her
father
because
I
was
the
kind
of
age
difference
and
my
grandfather
died.
When
my
mom
was
very
young,
that
was
my
godfather.
J
He
had
a
family
of
nine
children.
All
of
them
have
had
minimum
I,
think
of
five
or
six
kids.
He
had
two
auxiliary
homes
in
the
back,
where
his
growing
family
lived
and,
and
so
I'm
very
connected
to
this
community.
I,
don't
represent
it
up
here
on
the
dais
but
I'm
very
connected,
and
it's
such
a
beautiful
community
such
a
beautiful.
It
has
a
great
deal
of
history
and
and
I,
and
it's
it's
very
close
to
my
heart.
My
concerns
and
I
expressed
them
already
to
Jessica.
J
One
is
the
safety,
as
these
and
I
know,
it's
not
a
project
yet,
but
as
these
as
the
number
of
trains
increase
and
we
start
seeing
them
cut
right
through
a
neighborhood
where
there's
still
a
lot
of
children
and
I
anticipate
them
in
the
next
10
to
20
years,
we'll
see
more
children.
Well,
it's
just
you
know
it's
just
a
great
community
that
we
make
sure
that
it's
going
to
be
safe.
I
had
easy
access
where
the
horseshoe
is.
J
We
just
walk
right
onto
it.
So
I've
expressed
this
to
Jessica
and
I'm,
reassured
that
there's
going
to
be
safety
measures
there,
but
also
and
you've
clarified
it.
There's
been
a
great
deal
of
outreach
and
the
council
members
are
doing
a
great
job
of
that.
There's
always
someone
that's
left
out
or
doesn't
get
the
information,
and
this
is
really
going
to
be
a
huge
impact
on
the
community.
J
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
everybody's
aware
of
it-
and
you
know
if
it's
coming,
it's
coming
and
let's
let
people
know,
but
thank
you
for
for
allowing
me
to
indulge
a
little
bit
in
my
in
my
childhood
memories.
But
this
again
I
just
really
wanted
to
put
it
up
as
a
visual
of
of
where
our
family
started
and
and
a
lot
of
the
families
all
those
little
excess.
They
still
live
in
many
of
those
homes
and
of
course
we
don't.
J
A
A
A
I
Travis
Cooper
I'm,
with
a
California
Miss
full
finance
authority,
a
little
winded
from
the
chairs,
but
I'm
here
today,
the
city
of
San
Jose,
is
a
member
of
the
CM
FA.
The
CFA
is
joint
powers
authority
in
the
state
of
California.
We
specialize
in
private
activity.
Bond
issuances
throughout
the
state
over
300
member
cities
and
counties
are
part
of
our
organization,
and
we
also
we
have
a
pace
program
that
I
wanted
to
introduce
to
the
City
Council.
It's
a
commercial
pace.
I
Program
pace
is
property,
assessed,
clean
energy
and
we
had
a
application
from
a
commercial
hotel,
shallow
Suites
to
finance
twenty
six
million
dollars
worth
of
energy
efficiency
improvements,
things
that
qualify
for
pace
financing,
so
I've
been
dealing
with
the
Environmental
Services
Department
a
little
bit
to
try
to
get
our
program
approved
and,
like
I,
say
the
city's
a
member
of
the
CFA
already.
But
you
have
to
pass
a
resolution
to
opt
into
the
pace
program
and
this
would
just
be
commercial
pace.
I
It
wouldn't
be
residential
pace
and
even
if
you
to
approve
just
this
specific
project,
that
would
work
as
well.
So
I
just
brought
preliminary
kind
of
analysis
of
the
project
as
far
as
the
draft
resolution
that
has
been
approved
by
Jones
Hall,
whose
bond
council
on
or
would
be
bond
Council
on
this
project
and
a
draft
staff
report
that
I
wanted
to
leave
with
the
city
clerk.
Thank.
I
They
would
did
I
come
and
bring
this
to
the
the
board,
and
I
also
wanted
to
mention
one
of
the
things
that
seems
to
be
holding
it
up
and
I
don't
mean
to
take
it
well.
I
finished.
We
do
part
of
our
programs.
We
do
give
25%
of
our
issuance
feedback
to
cities.
So
I
know
it
takes
city
staff
resources,
but
it'd
be
approximately
48
thousand
dollars
would
go
back
to
the
city
for
the
time
they
spent
to
get
this
on
the
agenda.
Well,.
A
A
It's
the
public
appointment,
absolutely
I
just
want
to
breast
my
appreciation
for
your
lowness
to
serve.
You
know
that
this
commitment
of
significant
amount
of
time
and
energy
and
appreciate
your
your
background
here
that
you
bring
to
this
this
this
role.
Maybe
you
could
just
take
a
minute
or
two
to
describe
why
you'd
like
to
serve
and
how
you
think
you
might
be
able
to
contribute
to
the
board's
work.
Okay,.
Q
Q
So
the
reason
why
I
would
like
to
serve
is
be
because
one
I
have
investment
experience
that
I
think
I
could
be
very
helpful
to
the
police
and
fire
pension
fund,
and
two
I
wanted
to
combine
my
what
I
know
with
how
I'd
like
to
help
in
a
volunteering
basis.
So
it's
just
the
combination
of
my
investment
experiences
over
25
years
in
both
private
equity
and
venture
capital
combination
of
finance
investments
to
bring
to
bear
with
the
you
know,
the
resources
and
the
the
goals
of
the
police
and
fire
font
pension
fund.
A
Do
have
one
question
and
I
just
want
to
say
again
thank
you
for
your
interest.
Obviously,
you've
got
great
qualifications
and
background
as
you
look
at
the
state
of
our
police
and
fire
fund.
Now
the
plan,
where
do
you
believe
the
greatest
amount
of
attention
of
the
of
the
plan
board,
should
be
directed?
Okay,.
Q
I
think
it's
a
combination
of
near-term
and
long-term
I.
Think
the
long
term
is
actually
more
important,
because
this
just
deals
with
the
retirement
funds
for
employees
and
ex
employees
over
the
course
of
30
20
30
40
years.
And
so
it's
the
obligation
to
make
sure
that
as
caretakers
and
being
able
to
be
responsible
for
providing
the
right
kind
of
investment
advice
to
allow
for
the
growth
of
the
assets
to
compensate
for
the
near-term,
which
I
think
is
the
the
underfunding.
Q
Q
A
And
I
know
that
sometimes
when
we
have
a
particular
background,
we've
got
that
tool
in
our
toolbox.
That's
a
hammer,
then
the
whole
world
looks
like
a
nail
and
I
guess
in
terms
of
the
asset
allocation
that
you
look
at
the
planet
has
today,
is
your
background
and
private
equity
tell
you
that
we
should
be
shifting
significantly
toward
private
equity
or
are
there
other
asset
classes
you
think
are
perhaps
under
invested
in
the
plan
this
week?
As
we
look
at
today,
yeah.
Q
Without
without
going
into
a
lot
of
details,
because
I
don't
have
a
perfect
crystal
ball,
I,
don't
know
what
the
needs
and
goals
specifically
of
the
the
police
and
fire
fund
pension
fund.
I
believe
that
you
have
to
keep
some
minimum
percentage
in
private
equity
because
it
allows
you
to
have
what's
called
alpha
to
sort
of
beat
the
market
so
to
speak,
and
also
it
allows
you
from
alternative
investments.
One
of
you
to
diversify
against
other
asset
classes,
as
in
fixed
income
and
stock
I
would
I
would
also
indicate,
as
they
did
my
application.
Q
D
Thank
you.
So
your
point
about
alpha
is
well
taken
and
you
don't
want.
You
want
to
beat
inflation
and
all
that,
and
this
counsel
is
seen
in
the
last
few
years.
Our
economy
is
on
the
on
the
whole
gone
up.
You
know,
people
fear,
there's
a
recession
coming,
but
on
the
whole,
it's
it's
been
good,
the
US
economy,
and
yet
we're
told
that
in
our
particular
situation
in
San
Jose
we
have
a
mature
fund.
D
You
know
just
a
few
years
off
people
begin
drawing
from
their
pensions,
and
so
we
can't
bear
too
much
risk
because
you
know
we
had
this
payout.
So,
given
that
unique,
you
know
circumstance.
Do
you
have
any
insight,
given
your
background
to
you
know
how
to
adjust
for
equities
and
the
risk
burden.
Yeah.
Q
Probably
you
know,
my
crystal
ball
is
not
perfect,
either
I
think
I've
been
I've
been
looking
for
in
some
ways
a
downturn
for
the
last
several
years.
Like
a
lot
of
investors,
we
haven't
got
there
right,
but
the
one
thing
that
we
do
know
is
that
it
is
a
cycle
and
things
will
naturally
change
and
potentially
go
down,
and
so
I
think
when
you,
when
you
factor
in
interest
rates
and
where
the
macro
economy
will
go,
I
would
argue,
probably
lean
towards
potentially
a
little
more
fixed
income
and
maybe
a
little
less
on
equity.
Q
D
But
I
guess
the
the
what
is
trying
to
get
at
is
when
we're
talking
about
investments.
Everybody
kind
of
broadly
thinks
about
long
term.
You
know,
but
there's
a
horizon
when
you're
going
to
start
drawing
from
it
the
closer
you
get
to
the
your
horizon
point
the
less
risky.
You
have
to
be
it's
right
and
given
the
fact
that
our
work
force
you
know
is
our
horizon
is
shorter.
Q
I
yeah
I
think
you
look
at
it
from
two
points
of
view.
If
you
look
at
the
near-term,
obviously
on
a
risk
return
basis,
you
would
look
at
things
that
are
less
equity
based.
You
know,
for
fixed
income,
for
example,
and
and
as
a
percentage
of
the
the
portfolio
I
think
that's
what
the
both
the
the
trustees
and
the
investor
group
have
to
figure
out.
What
that
mix
is
the
the
longer
term.
Q
It
does
give
you
more
bigger
return
and
that
helps
the
the
30
year
horizon,
but
it's
not
a
large
percentage
of
what
the
pie
is.
So
at
the
end
of
the
day,
it's
about
the
size
it's,
but
that
the
mix
of
the
pie
as
opposed
to
how
much
goes
into
that
high
risk.
You
know
as
alternative
assets
because
it
does
have
a
there's
a
lot
of
focus
on
it,
but
but
you
have
to
you,
have
to
look
at
the
core
allocation
and
that's
you
know
real
estate,
fixed
income,
bonds
and
and
equity
I.
Q
D
I
guess
so
that
my
last
question
will
be
given
that
we're
not
fully
funded
and
we're
trying
to
you
know
catch
up
as
much
as
possible.
That's
an
argument
for
equity,
more
equities
to
kind
of
catch
up
and
more
risk
to
kind
of
grow
that
pie,
but
then
also
given
the
fact
that
you
know
they're
people
retiring
this
year
next
year
in
the
next
five
years
on
a
scale
of
you
know:
conservative,
to
risk
tolerance,
I
guess
what
is
your
risk
tolerance?
I
guess
is.
Could
you
describe
your
approach
towards
that?
Well,.
Q
I
think
it's
judicious
you
you
have
to
balance
it
like
you
mentioned
sort
of
alternative
assets.
I'll
go
back
to
that
again.
If
you
had
to
choose,
for
example,
you
may
lean
towards
the
kk
r's
of
the
world
sort
of
the
the
private
equity
groups
that
have
a
little
less
a
little
less
volatility,
so
to
speak.
Q
So
then
you're
still
in
alternatives,
but
you're
dealing
with
less
less
volatility,
so
I
would
say
on
the
margins
a
little
bit
a
little
bit
of
growth
on
the
on
the
fixed
side
and
less
aggressive
on
the
alternative
side
is
I,
think
probably
one
course
of
action,
because
then
you
sort
of
protect
yourself
both
on
the
larger
part
of
the
pie
and
also
not
taking
on
extraordinary
amounts
of
risk.
Given
that
there's
uncertainty
about
how
the
macroeconomic
picture
will
be,
that
would
be
ugly,
but
what
I
would
do
great.
