They

boulevard
since
moving

district

pastor,
zuniga

his

been
great
community
partners
offering
service
to
the
community,
including
helping

several
of
our
dumpster

They
also

a
great
holiday

Last

So

for
being
here.
J
Well,
good
afternoon,
council
members-
I
know
the
mayor's
not
here,
but
you'll,
see
this
probably
later
so
good
afternoon
to
you
as
well
and
safe
trip
from
dc.
It's
a
privilege
for
me
to
be
here
and,
first
and
foremost,
I
want
to
thank
god
for
the
opportunity
that
he
has
given
me
the
door
that
he's
open
for
me
to
be
here.
It
was
not
long
ago
that
we
were
here.
J
You
know
for
our
our
case,
to
be
able
to
relocate
in
district
four,
and
we
just
want
to
thank
you.
We
have
been
so
happy
in
district
four
council
members.
Thank
you
so
much.
You
are
a
blessing
from
god
to
us
and
it's
a
privilege
to
serve
the
community
with
you.
So
thank
you
very
much.
I
promise
that
I
won't
take
too
much
time
as
a
pastor
and
preacher.
The
hardest
thing
is
to
be
given
a
pulpit.
J
A
mic
can
be
told
you
have
three
to
four
minutes
to
speak,
that's
the
hardest
thing
ever
so
I
promise
I
won't
take
your
time,
but
on
my
way
here
I
was
thinking
and
reminiscing
in
in
the
bible
first
kings.
Chapter
three
is
the
story
of
solomon,
the
great
king
solomon.
You
know
before
this
is
before
he
was
king
solomon.
J
He
was
later
known
as
one
of
the
greatest
kings
of
israel,
but
in
chapter
three
we
get
a
glimpse
into
his
life
before
he
steps
into
the
palace
and
really
takes
over
the
kingdom
and
god
he
has
a
conversation
with
him
and
he
asks
him.
God
says
what
can
I
give
to
you
ask
me
anything,
and
I
will
give
you
anything.
You
know
to
help
you
govern
the
kingdom
and
solomon
asks
him
for
one
thing
I
think
any
of
us
would
have
asked
for
a
big
donor.
J
You
know
would
have
asked
for
a
big
company
to
support
us,
but
he
doesn't.
He
says
I
just
want
wisdom
to
be
able
to
effectively
take
the
kingdom
that
you
have
given
to
me
and
so
every
day,
vine
church
myself,
we
pray
for
you
every
single
day.
We
are,
as
I
said,
very
thankful
to
you
for
the
opportunity
to
relocate
into
district
four,
and
we
made
a
promise
to
god.
J
We
made
a
promise
to
you
guys
and
we
made
a
promise
to
ourselves
that
we
would
serve
the
community
as
much
as
we
could,
and
we
hope
that
we
are
doing
you
know
doing
that
and
thank
you
for
the
opportunities
that
you
have
given
to
us.
Council
member.
I
just
want
to
this
evening
just
pray
with
you
and
pray
for
you
what
we
do
every
single
day
for
you
at
vine
church.
I
want
to
be
able
to
have
the
privilege
to
do
that
with
you
here.
J
So
if
you
would
be
so
kind
as
to
bow
your
heads
and
close
your
eyes
with
me
in
reverence
to
god,
as
we
go
into
this
prayer,
dear
heavenly
father,
we
thank
you
so
much
for
the
opportunity
that
we
have
to
be
here
this
evening.
Father,
I
pray
for
your
wisdom.
I
pray
for
your
wisdom,
not
just
on
the
proceed
meetings
for
today,
but
for
the
rest
of
the
year
and
for
the
rest
of
the
agenda.
God.
J
I
pray
that
your
favor,
that
your
wisdom,
that
your
hand
be
on
every
one
of
the
council
members
be
on
our
mayor
father.
We
believe-
and
we
acknowledge
that
you
are
the
one
that
places
people
in
power
and
we
believe
that
you
have
placed
each
and
every
one
of
the
men
and
women
that
are
here
today
in
their
position
for
a
time
such
as
this
father,
I
know
you
to
be
a
waymaker.
I
know
that
you
open
ways
where
there
are
no
ways
and
you
open
doors
that
seem
impossible
for
us.
J
So
I
pray
that
you
do
the
same
for
this
council.
I
pray
that
you
do
the
same
for
the
city
of
san
jose
father.
I
pray
a
special
blessing
over
each
and
every
one
of
the
council
members
over
our
mayor
father.
I
pray
that
everything
every
goal
that
they
set
themselves.
I
pray
that
you
go
before
them
that
you
open
doors
father.
J
B
All
right,
the
next
item
are
ceremonial
items
and
council.
Member
carrasco
will
virtually
join
me
at
the
podium
and
we
will
recognize
and
proclaim
national
volunteer
month.
I
I
I
Martin
luther
king
jr
once
said
everybody
can
be
great
because
anybody
can
serve
you
don't
have
to
have
a
college
degree
to
serve.
You
don't
have
to
make
your
subject
and
your
verb
agree
to
serve.
You
don't
have
to
know
the
second
theory
of
thermodynamics
in
physics
to
serve.
You
only
need
a
heart
full
of
grace,
a
soul
generated
by
love
and
for
nearly
the
past
50
years.
I
America
has
commemorated
the
month
of
april
for
for
our
volunteers
and
allows
us
to
acknowledge
them
and
acknowledge
all
of
those
individuals
whose
hearts
are
full
of
grace
and
full
of
love
and
serve
our
city
in
the
city
of
san
jose.
Thousands
of
residents
volunteer
their
time
to
help
improve
their
communities.
They
help
us
clean
up
when
they
show
up
for
litter
pickup
days.
They
increase
our
urban
canopy
by
planting
trees.
I
They
help
make
our
neighborhoods
safe
by
cleaning
up
parks
and,
of
course,
they
help
distribute
food
at
food
pantries
or
they
serve
on
a
commission
volunteers,
lend
their
time
efforts
and
hearts
to
improving
the
lives
of
individuals
in
the
city
of
san
jose
and
we're
better
for
it.
They
do
this
because
of
their
love
for
the
city
and
their
commitment
to
their
neighbor,
and
especially
during
the
worst
health
crisis
that
we've
seen.
Once
again,
we
saw
our
residents
step
up
in
a
way
unfathomable
pre-covet,
they
risked
their
own
health.
I
They
stretched
themselves
to
support
others
in
need,
they
helped
distribute
food,
distribute
backpacks,
they
distributed
much
needed
baby
supplies
and
they
helped
staff
many
vaccine
and
testing
clinics
throughout
the
city.
The
herculean
task
that
was
before
us
could
not
have
been
accomplished
without
the
tens
of
thousands
of
hours
that
were
clocked
in
by
our
very
own
volunteers.
I
Volunteering
is
more
than
just
service.
It's
about
building
community
and
defining
our
values,
their
values,
their
north
star.
If
you're
feeling
inspired
and
are
looking
for
a
way
to
serve,
then
look
no
further.
I
have
a
few
opportunities
for
you
join
me
saturday
april
23rd,
during
our
east
san
jose
earth
day,
litter
pickup
join
the
school
of
arts
and
culture
at
the
mexican
heritage,
plaza
on
may
1st
for
vivacare
or
check
out
the
prns
volunteer
calendar
for
a
fun
and
impactful
park.
I
I
Brenda
is
a
mother,
an
incredibly
hard-working
individual,
but,
above
all,
brenda
is
the
embodiment
of
community.
She
selflessly
joins
me
and
my
team
at
dumpster
days
on
weekends.
She
does
litter
pickups
park
beautification
days,
you
name
it
she's
there
she's,
always
there.
Her
name
may
be
familiar
to
you,
brenda.
I
She
often
calls
in
to
voice
her
opinion.
She's
often
the
conscience
of
our
district
and
lets
us
know
exactly
what
she's
thinking
she's
not
shy
about
it
whatsoever,
but
she
also
is
incredibly
involved
at
the
pta
and
at
school
board
meetings.
Her
voice
is
invaluable
to
many
of
us
who
are
making
some
very
difficult
decisions
when
she's
not
busy
being
a
mother
or
campaigning
for
a
candidate
or
a
measure
that
she
truly
believes
in.
I
I
K
K
K
The
work
I
do
in
my
community,
where
principals
taught
by
my
parents,
my
parents
always
served
at
their
local
church.
They
always
fed
people
around.
They
taught
me
to
go
out
in
the
community
and
do
the
work
you
know
these
are
things
that
I
grew
up
in
was
surrounded
by.
They
always
lend
a
hand
to
the
neighbor,
and
there
was
not
one
time
that
they
did
not
help
our
families
when
they
were
in
need-
and
I
learned
through
them
that,
regardless
of
our
economic
situation,
we
can
make
a
difference.
K
K
K
K
My
children
are
here
with
me
today
because
they've
been
with
me
through
it
all
and
they've
sacrificed
their
time,
so
I
can
go
and
volunteer.
So
I
want
to
thank
both
my
kids,
adolfo
and
daniel
for
always
being
there
for
me
and
always
making
peanut
butter
sandwiches
with
me
or
helping
me
clean.
The
community
you
know
covet
19
was
the
biggest
reminder
to
us
of
the
disparities
that
we
still
have
in
our
community
with
the
black
and
brown
and
our
immigrant
community.
K
You
know
not
many
of
you
guys
know,
but
rent
relief
was
not
for
everyone,
our
immigrant
community,
that
rented
rooms
they
got
no
relief
because
they
had
no
proof
when
they
were
paying
for
cash.
So
a
lot
of
these
communities
were
the
ones
that
we
were
going
out
and
making
sure
that
they
had
groceries.
K
K
F
Good
afternoon,
everyone
I'm
so
excited
to
be
presenting
this
commendation
to
these
music
groups
that
will
be
performing
at
our
upcoming
event.
Music
in
the
valley,
music
in
the
valley
is
a
free
community
event
hosted
by
my
office
that
will
feature
performances
from
our
local
district
9
schools,
as
well
as
family,
friendly
activities,
local
food
lots
of
other
activities,
but
this
today
it's
about
the
music.
F
When
I
came
to
these
directors
with
the
idea
of
bringing
them
all
together
to
hold
a
huge
district-wide
music
festival,
they
all
enthusiastically
said
yes
and
asked:
how
could
they
help?
They
didn't
hesitate
and
in
fact
they
had
so
many
ideas.
We
couldn't
figure
out
how
to
narrow
the
focus
a
little
bit
through
covid.
These
directors
work
to
provide
an
important
musical
opportunity
for
our
kids.
I've
had
the
opportunity
to
listen
to
the
students
from
all
of
these
schools
perform,
and
they
are
all
just
so
wonderful
and
talented.
F
When
I
listen
to
students
perform,
it
truly
brings
tears
to
my
eyes.
I
am
moved
by
their
musicality,
I'm
moved
by
their
passion
and
their
joy
and
I'm
moved
by
what
you
provide
for
them
through
music.
Their
students
are
connected
to
like-minded
new
individuals
from
all
backgrounds.
They
are
inspired
to
create
and
express
themselves.
F
All
the
of
these
directors
have
been
such
great
partners
in
planning
the
music
in
the
valley
event
and
I'm
thrilled
to
be
able
to
bring
together
our
community
to
hear
these
talented
students
perform
I'd
like
to
take
a
moment
to
thank
my
staff
for
their
work
in
putting
this
event
together,
particularly
kyle
laveroni,
who
took
the
ball
and
ran
with
it
and
organized
it.
Thank
you.
Kyle
music
in
the
valley
will
be.
May
1st.
F
You
already
heard
council
member
carrasco
talk
about
an
event
on
may
1st,
but
please
come
to
district
9
2.,
it's
an
all-day
event
from
11
to
6
at
the
camden
community
center
admission
is
free,
it's
open
to
everything,
everyone.
We
have
family
friendly
activities
as
well
as
music,
music
music.
So
with
that
vice
mayor,
would
you
I
guess
you
can't
present
the
commendations,
because
they've
already
been
presented,
but
I'd
like
to
introduce
lori,
laura
levy
from
pioneer
high
school
to
say
a
few
words.
G
L
G
F
I
couldn't
end
by
saying:
I
know
lots
of
you
were
in
your
band
programs,
your
orchestra
programs,
your
choirs
and
your
performing
arts.
So
raise
your
hand
if
music
influenced
your
life
as
as
a
student
and
helped
you
get
to
where
you
are
today.
Thank
you.
So
much
to
these
directors
I'll
see
you
may
1st
and
I
hope
to
see
everyone
there
at
the
camden
community
center.
Thank
you.

M
M
As
you
all
know,
child
sexual
abuse
is
has
been
on
the
rise
and
especially
in
the
last
10
years.
For
children
under
the
age
of
12,
and
that's
usually
young
girls
of
color
and
our
city
and
our
police
department
has
done
many
wonderful
plans
to
interrupt
and
to
close
cases
earlier
and
to
interact
with
those
survivors
in
a
meaningful
way.
M
So
by
providing
families
with
an
opportunity
to
access
the
supports,
they
need
in
a
culturally
responsive
way
in
their
own
community
and
in
their
own
language.
We
can
help
improve
the
safety
and
well-being
of
children
and
youth
in
san
jose,
and
so
today
I
am
really
honored
to
recognize
and
partner
with
international
children
assistance
network
that
usually
everybody
knows,
as
I
can,
to
proclaim
april
as
national
child
abuse
prevention
and
awareness
month.
Since
the
the
year
2000
icann's
programs
have
been
aimed
to
provide
parents
and
grandparents
because
that's
the
truth.
M
Grandparent
in
my
family
takes
care
of
my
children,
and
so
it's
no
different
in
in
our
vietnamese
culture
and
many
cultures
across
our
city
and
and
so
they
provide
all
of
those
caregivers
with
with
support
and
skills
to
be
their
own
advocates
in
consideration
of
challenges
of
raising
a
cross-cultural
family
in
the
u.s.
M
I'm
incredibly
grateful
to
icam
for
the
support
that
you
provide
our
vietnamese
and
vietnamese
american
community
in
san
jose
to
engage
in
meaningful
and
difficult
conversations
at
times
right
about
parenting,
about
family,
about
healthy
relationships,
but
we
all
need
support
and
help
at
times,
and
with
that
I'd
like
to
present,
I
can
with
the
proclamation.
Actually,
our
vice
mayor
will
present
that
proclamation
and
ask
either
wynn
or
isabella
or
mong
hong
to
say
a
few
words
about
their
amazing
work.
N
Hi,
my
name
is
quinn,
vong,
exec,
co-founder
and
executive
director
of
icann.
We
are
so
honored
to
be
here
and
standing
with
me
here
is
mrs
she's
been
teaching
the
happy
five
parenting
workshops
in
for
the
last
14
years,
helping
1200
families
and
standing
next
to
her
is
isabella
long.
The
she
is
the
senior
research
coordinator
and
I
can
a
very,
very
passionate,
ardent
community
activist
advocating
for
the
voice
of
the
vietnamese
community.
N
N
You
know,
and
and
so,
and
great
and
growing
up
in
two
cultures
that
supposedly
on
the
surface,
that
benefit
complement
one
another,
but
in
reality
they
can't
they
they
really
conflict
at
times.
So
our
children
struggle
a
lot.
N
Then
the
the
the
neurons,
the
brains
don't
develop
and
the
children
would
not
be
that
smart
when
in
school
and
that
get
them
to
listen.
So
then
they
started
taking
precaution.
Measures
trying
to
to
you
know
protect
the
children
and
in
the
past,
18
years
we
have
been.
We
have
served
just
for
the
early
childhood
parenting
workshops
alone.
We
have
served
2500
families
and,
and
that
impacted
over
10
000
parents,
grandparents
and
children
and
after
they
take
the
class
from
miss
mohan.
N
Here
the
parents
started
spending
more
quality
time
with
their
children
talking
to
their
children
in
vietnamese
and
as
also
to
help
develop
the
communication,
skills
and
a
reason
even
negotiating
with
the
with
the
children,
as
opposed
to
you
know
ordering
and
screaming,
like
they
used
to.
So
we
saw
a
lot
of
changes.
We
saw
more
grandparents,
more
fathers
and
grandfathers
coming
to
the
class,
which
is
a
big
cultural
shift
in
the
way
vietnamese
men
see
their
roles
in
a
child's
life.
N
So
we
are
very,
very
gracious
for
grateful
for
the
the
support
from
the
city
council,
mayor
ricardo
from
district
7
from
you
know,
everyone
and
from
santa
clara
first
life,
santa
clara
county,
to
help
give
us
the
I
icann
family
resource
center
at
the
vietnamese
american
cultural
center.
N
We
now
have
a
beautiful
children's
room
and
children
just
love
to
go
there
and
play
and
read,
and
they
can
take
books
home
and
many
thanks
to
the
san
jose
public
library,
library
and
pr,
and
s
for
that
too.
So
once
again
thank
you
so
so
much
city
council,
vice
mayor
and
and
council
member
arenas,
and
I
share
this
honor
with
my
team
members
standing
here.
I
also
share
the
honor
with
the
people,
my
staff,
who
are
watching
online
at
home,
the
board
members
volunteer
supporters
and
my
beloved
vietnamese
community.
Thank
you.
B
B
I
have
a
change,
and
that
is
to
for
a
motion
to
hear
presentation
and
public
comments
for
item
8.1
proposed
changes
to
the
spending
priorities
and
percentage
allocations,
measure
e,
real
property
transfer
taxes
and
but
to
defer
the
vote
on
that
item.
For
one
week
we
also
have
council
member
perales
who
will
adjourn
the
meeting
in
memory
of
brian
bates
and
councilmember
cross
will
tell
us
more.
O
Thank
you
very
much
vice
mayor
and
apologize,
I'm
feeling
a
bit
under
the
weather.
Otherwise
I
would
have
liked
to
have
been
there
today,
but
I
am
proud
to
be
adjourning.
Today's
meeting
in
the
honor
of
brian
bates
brian
bates,
passed
away
on
march
7
2022
at
the
age
of
47.
O
brian
was
a
native
of
bulman
washington
and
graduated
from
washington
state
university.
He
also
held
a
master's
degree
in
public
administration,
from
csu
dominguez
hills
and
prior
to
coming
to
san
jose.
He
served
washington
state
for
10
years
and
when
brian
arrived
at
san
jose
state
university,
he
served
as
the
associate
vice
president
for
alumni
and
community
engagement
for
15
years
during
his
tenure.
He
made
a
tremendous
impact
on
the
university
and
the
greater
san
jose
community
through
his
leadership
and
tireless
work
ethic
of
always
going
above
and
beyond
what
was
asked.
O
Brian
enjoyed
many
hobbies
and
activities
such
as
photography,
travel,
trail
walking,
but
his
favorite
pastime
was
baseball.
You
could
find
him
with
his
stats
book
in
the
stands
or
listening
intently
to
the
feet
of
of
a
game
while
relaxing
at
home
brian
was
a
leader
on
the
campus
and
within
the
alumni
relations
community.
O
As
a
colleague
and
friend,
brian
was
thorough,
patient
and
kind.
He
was
smart
and
strategic
and
lifted
others
around
him.
He
was
also
highly
principled
and
never
deviated
from
doing
the
right
thing,
even
in
the
toughest
of
circumstances,
he
was
committed
to
integrating
diversity,
equity
inclusion
into
the
core
of
alumni
and
community
engagement
and
prior
to
learning
where
his
alma
mater
was
washington
state.
O
But
some
of
the
most
fondest
memories
are
with
my
wife
and
my
son,
jorge
being
able
to
attend
san
jose
state
football
games
and,
and
brian
always
being
there
to
ensure
we.
We
were
taking
care
of
what
we
had.
What
we
needed
that
we
we
were
able
to
enjoy
the
game
and
treated
my
family
and
I
just
first
class
and
and
he
will
truly
be
missed
by
myself
and
by
all
those
who
knew
him.
O
But
his
impact
on
our
community
will
forever
be
remembered
and
thank
you
and,
and
vice
mayor
I'll,
make
the
motion
to
accept
orders
of
of
the
day,
with
allowing
item
8.1,
to
take
a
presentation
and
public
comment.
But
then
continuing
the
vote
to
next
week.
G
P
P
Q
P
Blonde,
I
know
that,
but
we
plan
our
day
around
things,
to
try
to
make
sure
that
we
can
support
items
that
are
on
the
agenda,
so
these
last
minute
changes
can
really
throw
a
wrench
in
that
for
us
and
as
public
members
trying
to
earn
sort
of
a
develop
trust
in
our
government.
This
is
one
of
those
things
that
is
just
very
challenging.
I
know
when
you're
in
there
it
might
be
people
that
that
need
this
to
happen.
P
G
R
Hi,
thank
you.
Blair,
beekman
thanks
for
the
meeting
today
yeah.
This
is
about
orders
of
day
issues.
I
just
wanted
to
again
thank
yourselves
that
you
offering
public
comment
four
orders
of
the
day.
You
have
some
good
foresight
to
to
know
when
to
do
this.
Sometimes
thank
you
sometimes
not,
but
on
this
day
you
do
and
thank
you
this.
R
Yeah,
sorry,
I'm
back.
I
suppose
this
could
be
a
time
that
I
I'm
guessing
that
for
someone
like
jill
borders.
If
she
wanted
to
speak
on
item
8.1
and
it
was
going
to
be
moved
and
it
hadn't
been
at
a
previous
committee
meeting
before
then
jill
could
technically
be
able
to
speak
on
this
item.
I
think
at
this
time,
and
so
I
thank
you
that
you're
allowing
public
comment
on
orders
of
the
day
at
this
sort
of
time.
R
For
you
know
someone
like
jill
border,
she
can
make
her
public
comments
if
needed
at
this
time,
but
you've
described
how
you're
going
to
proceed
with
8.1
today
and
just
an
overall
thank
you
for
for
good
public
practice.
D
Yeah
joel's
correct
all
of
a
sudden
at
the
last
minute.
The
dog
ate
your
homework.
I
no,
you
should
be
able
to
have
these
things.
It's
been
listed
for
many
many
days.
I
find
it
real,
sleazy
and
cheesy
that
you
do
this,
especially
for
a
tax
item.
When
are
you
going
to
have
this
at
midnight
next
week,
sometime
going
to
have
a
special
meeting
on
a
friday,
that's
called
real
quick
you
got.
D
This
is
what
I
call
work
avoidance
and
you
and
you
people
do
this
all
the
time
you
you
know
when
something's
controversial
or
you
don't
want
to
have
to
speak
about
it.
You
wait
and
wait
just
like
a
kid
waits
and
waits
to
put
off
a
project
when
he's
in
the
third
grade.
Okay,
that's
what
you're
doing
down
there,
it's
disgusting!
D
What
what
you
just
did-
and
you
know
it
wait-
is
sam.
Not
here
is
he
hobnobbing
with
with
let's
go
brandon
over
there
in
dc?
What's
your
reasoning,
why
you
have
to
delay
it?
You
guys
gave
a
bad
bad
excuse.
Excuses
are
like
a
lot
of
things
and
everybody
has
them
and
they
all
stink.
You
guys
should
be
ashamed
to
yourself.
J
G
B
Thank
you,
tony
on
to
the
closed
session
report.
G
And
vice
mayor,
just
we
we
do
not
have
a
report
out
of
closed
session,
but
just
to
be
clear
because
it
sounds
like
there's
some
confusion.
8.1
will
be
heard.
There
will
be
the
presentation.
There
will
be
public
comment
as
you
indicate
that.
B
G
R
Thank
you,
larry
beekman
here
you
have,
I'm
gonna
be
in
and
out
today
you
have
two
items
about
water
supply
item:
2.7
is
water
supply
agreements
with
the
city
and
county
of
san
francisco
and
a
minimum
purchase
transfer
from
the
city
of
mountain
view
in
the
east
to
city
of
east
palo
alto
so,
and
this
and
the
2.8
is
items
of
repair
to
water
services
and
maine's
project.
R
So
I
you're
going
to
be
dealing
with
many
water
issues
today
and
and
and
the
future
of
the
water
board.
I
just
wanted
to
put
in
my
quick
two
cents.
That
is
there
a
way
that
you
can
possibly
vote
to
the
the
board
can
continue
for
only
a
a
term
or
two
a
specialized
term
at
you
to
work
on
the
future
of
their
funding
issues.
R
G
Brian
darby,
hello,
I
just
a
quick
question.
The
consent
items
a
lot
of
times
like
the
water
issues
and
stuff
like
that,
the
those
are
items
that
have
been
brought
up,
and
now
this,
like
the
final
pass
or
does
it
depend
on
which
particular
item
it
is
as
far
as
consent
items
are
things
that
are
just
like
going
through
a
final.
B
Discussion
or
not
even
discussion,
final
approval
or
something
like
that,
is
that
accurate.
L
Consent
calendar
items
are
items
that
are
routine
in
nature
and
it
they're
they
all
have
a
different
background.
G
D
D
B
Thank
you
tony
entertain
a
motion.
Please.
G
G
B
B
Hi,
thank
you.
Thank
you
on
to
item
10.1
land
use,
consent
calendar.
I
actually
want
to
ask
chris
if
you
can
come
down.
I
want
just
ask
a
real,
quick
question.
B
Just
chris,
can
you
explain
to
everyone
what
we're
doing
on
on
this
item,
and
that
is
not
a
particular
project
that
we're
looking
at
today.
C
The
item
is
a
number
of
rezonings
that
we're
undergoing
following
the
state's
adoption
of
senate
bill
1333,
that
requires
charter
cities
to
align
their
general
plan,
the
underlying
forward-looking
designation
for
property
throughout
the
city
with
the
zoning,
which
sort
of
dictates
the
current
use
of
the
property.
So
we're
going
through
we're
actually
rezoning
about
13
000
properties
throughout
the
entire
city,
to
bring
those
two
things
back
to
alignment,
and
that's
why
you've
seen
this
is
the
second
or
third
one
that
we've
brought
through
in
recent
weeks.
There's
more
coming
next
week.
C
It's
a
very
straightforward
process
doesn't
affect
the
properties
that
are
being
rezoned.
Ultimately,
it's
just
sort
of
considerations
of
future
development.
B
Thank
you,
chris.
Oh,
do
we
have
any
public
comments
on
this
item.
F
P
Hi,
thank
you.
I
just
wanted
to
quickly
hello.
Oh
the
timer
just
went
okay.
Can
you
guys
hear
me?
Yes,
okay,
thank
you
yeah,
I'm,
so
glad
for
that
clarification.
Thank
you
for
having
him
come
up
to
speak
on
that
I
was
a
bit
confused,
that's
very
helpful,
and
I'm
just
wondering
just
so.
You
know
martha
o'connell
is
sending
out
a
memo.
Another
memo,
four
months
after
it
was
already
sent
out,
and
that
will
be
coming
to
your
attention
soon.
Regarding
is
this
related
to
item
10.1
yeah.
P
It
is
because
my
question
or
comment
is
the
fact
that
the
land
use
the
zoning
has
to
connect
like
how
how
do
we
know
when
certain
parcels
are
going
to
come
up
so
that
we
can
look
and
find
out,
because
there's
there
are
there's
a
bunch
of
various
ones
throughout
each
time.
I'm
looking
at
this.
So
it's
very
hard
to
know
when
that
zoning
is
going
to
come
up
for
the
mobile
home,
so
we've
got
no
notice,
no
nothing
to
to
find
out
when
that
will
happen
for
the
pub
for
the
parks.
Thank
you.
M
You
all
hear
me:
okay,
yes,
let
me
come
into
your
hybrid
meeting.
Is
going
very
well,
I'm
very
impressed.
G
I
just
wanted
to
make
a
comment
on
this
item.
I
think.
M
The
staff
was
helpful
when
I
emailed
them,
but
if
they
could
put
as
much
information
on
the
little
postcards
when
they
send
them
out,
that
would
be
really
really
helpful.
It
also
in
terms
of
if
someone's
home
or
property
is
actually
being
rezoned.
M
Do
they
get
a
different
type
of
a
postcard
than
your
property
is
500
feet
from
what's
being
rezoned?
I
think
it
might
be
a
good
idea
to
put
as
much
information
on
the
postcard
as
possible,
because
we
were
confused
about
whether
the
property
was
being
rezoned
or
something
near
it,
and
also
if
this
is
if
this
is
coming
up
again
in
the
future,
if
they
could
think
keep
in
mind
whether
you've
got
shopping,
centers,
rezoned
or
individual
houses,
it
would
be
very
helpful
because
we
were
probably
more
confused
than
anything
the
staff
was
helpful.
D
D
These
13
000
get
one
call
your
city
council
member
to
have
them
clarify
if
they
can,
if
they
pick
up
the
phone,
if
they
text
you
back,
if
they
email
you
back,
they
typically
don't
or
if
they
do
it's
with
a
bunch
of
eyewash,
so
yeah
be
be
proactive.
When
you
get
these
postcards,
be
proactive
in
these
city
council
meetings
and
always
contact
your
your
city,
council
member,
any
chance
you
get,
they
hate
it.
D
They
hate
the
phone
calls
they
hate
the
emails
they
like
to
give
you
a
bunch
of
phony
responses,
don't
let
them
never
ever
let
up
on
your
city,
council,
people
and
the
mayor.
They
they
do
not
like
negative
public
criticism.
They
don't
like
to
be
mocked
or
ridiculed,
keep
doing
it
if
you
can,
if
they
continue
to
do
these
sleazy
cheesy
things
they're,
they're,
an
abomination
to
government
and
anybody
listening
should
do
exactly
what
I
say
and
more.
Thank
you.
G
S
G
Apologize
for
not
providing
the
full
name,
so
I
have
a
similar
question,
so
I
live
in
the
community.
That
is
right
next
to
the
to
one
of
the
areas
that
is
about
to
be
resolved,
and
the
notifications
that
we
received
is
really
not
providing
any
information.
G
In
fact,
we
still
don't
know
what
exactly
is
going
to
happen
in
this
areas
and
what
to
expect
like,
specifically,
we
are
concerned
about
traffic
increase,
it's
already
pretty
bad
right.
Now,
then,
right
next
to
our
community,
we
are
now
expecting
some
high
walls.
G
Again
it's
going
to
affect
everybody,
and
you
know
I
think
there
should
be
more
information
in
advance.
People
should
be
aware
of
what's
happening.
In
fact,
I
was
wondering
if
there
were
any
studies
conducted
on
the
effect
of
this.
So
how
is
it
going
to
affect
traffic?
How
is
it
going
to
affect
the
safety
situation
for
people
you
know
in
in
the
neighborhood?
Have
you
ever
done
anything
like
that,
and
if,
yes,
where
the
results,
how
can
we
access
them?
If
nothing
has
been
done?
R
Hi,
where
big
been
here,
bob
brownstein
at
yesterday's
special
council
meeting
on
the
future
of
the
charter
commission
process,
made
a
very
nice
interesting
point
about
the
idea
of
flexibility
and
that
we
flexibility
the
way
I
took
his
words
about
flexibility
yesterday,
we
have
to
think
you
know,
as
we
have
good
ideals
for
the
future
of
our
housing
and
building
and
development
ideas.
R
R
G
N
Hi,
this
is
the
regina.
N
So
I
received
a
postcard
about
say
there
are
75
properties
near
my
near
my
house
will
be
will
be
rezoning,
so
I
don't
know.
What's
that
mean
what
are
going
to
happen?
How
to
so
because
before
we
know,
we
cannot
give
us
our
opinion
right.
So,
what's
the?
What
are
the
ways
we
can
give
us
feedback
and
know
the
detail
of
this
planning,
because
I
could
not
find
this.
You
know
from
a
web
anywhere.
So
what's.
Q
Thank
you.
I
just
want
to
give
chris
an
opportunity
to
talk
a
little
bit
more
about
what
we're
doing
here
and
also
about
the
outreach,
and
maybe
it
sounds
like
there
was
a
lot
of
confusion
about
the
outreach.
So
maybe
if
there
are
going
to
be
changes
going
forward-
because
I
know
this
is
this-
rezoning
is
going
to
be
happening
all
over
the
city.
So
please
enlighten
us.
C
Thanks
for
that,
council
member,
so
just
to
make
a
couple
of
clarifications
up
front,
and
then
let
me
talk
about
the
outreach,
so
obviously,
what
we're
doing
is
we're
bringing
our
zoning
in
conformance
to
our
general
plan.
So
all
of
these
changes
are
sort
of
you
know
very
high
level
on
sort
of
future
use
of
properties.
There's
no
development
applications
associated
with
any
of
these
zonings.
C
C
So
as
far
as
sort
of
reports
or
the
analysis
on
what
these
changes
might
mean,
that
was
something
that
was
considered
when
we
adopted
the
underlying
general
plan.
There
was
an
environmental
impact
report
that
was
done
with
that,
and
we
can
certainly
provide
additional
information
for
anybody.
That's
interested.
C
We
are
acutely
aware
of
the
challenge
of
the
postcards
and
just
the
volume
of
these
that
we're
sending
out
by
the
time
we're
done
after
a
year,
we're
talking
hundreds
of
thousands
of
notices
that
we've
sent
out
to
members
of
the
public
and
they
are
postcards
so
there's
a
limited
amount
of
real
estate
to
include
information.
So
there's
a
couple
of
steps
that
we've
taken
near
term
to
address
this
and
we're
continuing
to
look
for
opportunities
to
provide
information.
C
Firstly,
we're
looking
at
providing
slightly
bigger
postcards,
so
we
can
get
a
little
bit
more
information,
we're
grouping
them
in
ways
so
that
associated
rezonings.
You
know
people
only
get
one
notice,
rather
than
one
for
every
single
property,
that's
getting
re-zoned
and
then,
in
addition
on
friday,
in
fact,
I
think
it
went
live.
We've
just
launched
a
new
interactive
map
on
the
planning
division
website,
so
you
can
go
in
and
look
parcel
by
parcel
at
exactly
which
properties
are
being
re-zoned.
C
As
you
click
on
the
property,
it
tells
you
what's
the
general
plan
designation,
what
does
that
mean?
What's
the
existing
zoning
and
then
what's
the
new
zoning
going
to
be
so
that'll
allow
people
the
opportunity
just
to
sort
of
actually
zoom
in
and
see
because
again,
when
we're
talking
a
postcard.
If
we
include
a
map,
it's
very
hard
to
see
the
specific
property
in
question,
so
we're
looking
for
ways
to
address
that
and
then
obviously
justin
daniels
who's,
our
supervisor
and
planner
who's.
C
Leading
this
effort
with
his
team
is
available
through
email
to
contact
with
any
specific
questions,
and
I
know
we've
had
a
series
of
questions
this
week
from
property
owners
that
have
had
some
other
concerns
and
questions.
So
we're
always
available
to
answer
those
as
needed.
C
Right
so
it
has
again
limited
real
estate,
so
it
it
goes
into
a
high
level
description
on
that
and
it
states.
You
know
it
gives
a
reference
to
the
state
law
and
that
it's
not
associated
with
a
project.
C
It
does
specifically
say
that
on
the
postcard,
but
again
I
mean
I
agree,
I
think
it's
challenging
for
people,
they
get
the
notification
and
they
just
assume
that
there's
a
project
connected
with
it
so
we'll
take
another
look
at
that
and
just
make
sure
that
we're
being
very
clear
so
people
understand
exactly
what
it
is
that
we're
doing.
O
Yeah,
thank
you
very
much.
I
actually
just
had
a
similar
question
to
councilmember
davis
on
what
language
was
on
the
postcard.
Maybe
you
can
send
us
a
copy
of
that
just
so
we
could
see
it
and
if
we
need
a
critique
we
can.
But
my
one
question
was:
does
it
mention
that
these
are
properties
that
the
zoning
is
out
of
conformance
with
the
general
plan
and
that's
what
we're
that's,
what
we're
doing
is
making
it
conform
with
the
general
plan.
C
H
G
H
B
G
N
No,
my
question
is
still
related
with
the.
G
This
learning
stuff
so
even
now
see
the
resume
is
not
associated
with
any
developed
plan.
But
how
about.
G
G
It's
sort
of
related
to
this.
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you
to
the
firemen
and
police
for
what
they
did
on
sunday
with
the
fire
out
at
the
home
depot.
Thank
you
for
saving,
basically
an
entire
neighborhood.
Thank
you.
G
B
B
G
To
speak,
yes,
okay,
martha
o'connell
speaking
in
strong
support
of
the
mayhem
proposal.
Sometimes,
when
citizens
speak
truth
at
these
meetings,
it
sounds
harsh.
Be
that
as
it
may,
there
is
no
other
way
to
say
some
of
the
things.
I
am
about
to
say
this
manipulative
wording
of
a
proposal
to
extend
the
terms
of
the
board
members
while
appearing
to
limit
those
terms
is
a
pattern
and
practice
of
the
water
board.
I
have
been
attending
board
meetings
both
in
person
before
covid
and
by
zoom.
G
Afterwards,
the
majority
of
the
board
members
completely
disregard
the
testimony
of
the
public,
the
overwhelming
testimony
and
consistently
vote
to
do
the
opposite
of
what
the
public
desires.
Some
of
the
members
speak
to
the
members
of
the
public
in
a
condescending
and
arrogant
manner.
I
knew
one
former
board
member
who
told
me
he
got
paid
for
each
meeting,
no
matter
how
short
the
time
he
was
there
on
their
pre
per
diem
rate.
These
folks
can
accrue
up
to
four
thousand.
G
A
year
for
attending
up
to
15
meetings
per
month,
no
wonder
they
have
come
up
with
dishonest
wording
to
fool
the
voters
into
giving
them
four
more
years
or
another
possible.
Two
hundred
and
twenty
seven
thousand
five
hundred
and
twenty
dollars.
One
current
board
member
has
served
25
years
and
another
22
years.
Enough
is
enough,
yes,
on
the
mayhem
proposal
and,
furthermore,
please
advocate
to
limit
the
water
board
to
two
four-year
terms.
Thank
you.
G
L
G
What
martha
mcconnell
just
said
double
time
and
they
are
condescending
and
they
are
rude
and
they
are
nasty
to
the
public.
I've
been
to
those
meetings
too,
and
they
are
always
like
that.
You
know
they're,
you
know
we.
We
asked
a
question
and
that
we
were
lectured
by
basically
how
stupid
we
are,
and
I'm
not
going
to
vote
for
anybody
on
the
water
district.
That's
there
now
they
need
to
not.
G
They
need
to
have
the
term
limits
and
those
term
limits
were
put
in
for
the
exact
same
reason
that
mrs
mcconnell
was
bringing
it
up
in
the
first
place,
and
they
know
this
and
they
have
changed
those
things
they
limit
public
comment.
They
are
condescending.
They
don't
respond
to
public
that
talks
to
them.
The
staff
tries
to-
and
it's
not
every
waterborne
district
member
every
single
time,
but
it's
an
aggregate.
G
We
know
more
than
they
do
and
they
do
that's
why
they're
elected
the
water
board,
but
there's
a
lot
of
other
people
out
there
who
know
about
water
and
the
situations
we're
dealing
with
and
has
just
as
much
and
this
concept
of
what
we
need
institutional
memory
to
keep
going.
Well,
they
don't
have
an
institutional
memory
because
they
change
their
minds
all
the
time
anyway.
Thank
you.
N
G
P
P
Council
member
mayhem
has
used
very
kind
language
when
he
says
that
this
ballot
is
misleading
and
deceptive.
I
would
like
to
say
what
it
really
is.
It
is
a
lie.
It
is
a
lie
to
use
the
word
limit
when,
in
fact
the
action
would
be
that
it
would
extend
in
studying
language
and
being
a
lover
of
it.
It
offends
me
to
no
end
that
language
is
being
used
to
deceive
me.
P
As
a
voter,
our
democracy
is
in
peril
each
and
every
day
I
am
one
of
those
members
of
the
public
that
council
member
mayhem
has
described
as
not
trusting
our
elected
officials
and
is
trying
to
build
trust
with.
I
am
trying
hard
to
find
out
what
is
going
wrong
well
after
reading
council
member
jimenez's
memo
this
morning,
and
after
listening
to
council
member
jones
and
cohen
at
the
rules
meeting,
I
now
know
in
part
what
is
going
wrong.
P
G
D
We
need
term
limits
for
these
waterboard
people.
It's
a
mafia.
Have
you
seen
valley
water,
their
their
building
over
there
it
looks
like
a
tacky
taj,
mahal
yeah.
They
have,
they
have
more
money,
they
know
what
to
do
with
people.
I
know
who
work
there
are
bored.
D
They
have
nothing
to
do
all
day,
long,
but
read
magazines
and
go
on
the
internet.
They
don't
do
anything.
These
people
need
term
limits
25
years.
This
is
this
is
like
a
mafia.
The
mafia
controls
the
water
in
sicily.
To
this
day.
These
guys,
these
guys
are
rinky
dink,
mafia
type
people.
How
about
the
guy?
Who
was
on
that
water
bottle
I'll,
be
stepped
down
or
not
the
porno
pervo
guy
that
yeah,
those
are
the
kind
of
people
running
your
water,
a
bunch
of
perverse
and
weirdos.
D
It
might
be
right
up
you
guys
alley.
Who
knows,
I
don't
know
the
way
you
guys
prance
around
at
certain
events.
Who
knows
what
you
people
like
or
don't
like,
but
yeah
vote
for
term
limits,
but
you
won't.
You
won't
you'll
cheese,
your
way
out
of
it,
so
you
guys
can
be
real,
comfy
and
cozy
with
the
water
people
and
you
guys
are
comfy
and
cozy
with
pg
e
and
everything
else.
You
don't
have
our
best
interest.
You
only
have
interest
in
yourself
and
a
few
constituents
that
you
pander
to
you
know
it.
D
G
G
Salmanov
and
I
wanted
to
say
that
spending
3.2
million
dollars
on
a
ballot
such
as
this
in
normal
times,
is
questionable,
but
doing
it
while
we're
facing
a
historic
water
crisis
is
really
tone
deaf.
I
think
the
money
could
be
better
spent
elsewhere,
and
I
urge
the
council
to
oppose
this
ballot
measure.
Q
Hi,
I
also
urge
the
council
to
oppose
this
ballot
measure.
It
is
a
complete
and
total
waste
of
taxpayer
payer
dollars
and
funds
for
deception,
with
regards
to
framing
the
measure
as
limiting
turns
when
they're
extending
them,
and
this
money
could
be
much
better
used
when
it
comes
to
what
are
the
rate
payers
are
paying
and
with
regards
to
the
drought,
and
how
could
we
better,
recycle
and
repurpose
water
and
put
ourselves
in
a
position,
a
stronger
position
for
the
droughts
ahead?
Thank
you.
A
G
You
hear
me:
yes,
I'm
a
novice
at
interfacing
with
government,
I've
retired
recently
and
come
to
the
area,
and
this
item
from
the
water
board
is
really
shockingly
dishonest
and
I
sincerely
hope
you,
you
all
voted
against
it,
and
this,
I
must
say
the
public
comments
prior
to
me
coming
on
were
really
educational
and
I
think
the
government
really
ought
to
pay
attention
to
what's
going
on.
G
I
would
also
like
to
point
out
I
tried
when
I
first
moved
into
the
area.
I
tried
very
hard
to
get
in
touch
with
the
water
board
and
it
was
impossible
visiting
the
facility
several
times.
Actually
I
never
made
it
past
the
receptionist
and
no
one
ever
answered
the
phone,
so
I
just
simply
gave
up.
I
have
another
problem,
and
that
is
the
project
that
is
planned
for
redesigning
lake
almaden
and
coming
out
with
absolutely
no
discernible
benefit
that
I
can
see
to
the
city.
G
G
E
G
Hi
I
wanted
to
echo
the
comments
of
the
people
before
me.
I
just
wanted
to
mention
a
couple
of
things:
I'm
a
retired
operation
and
supply
chain
executive.
G
You
know
valley,
water
is
a
captive
monopoly
and
while
it's
not
just
the
wording
that
to
me
is
a
little
bit
disturbing
because
you
know
you
never
know
what
process
put
that
together.
What
I'm
more
disturbed
about
is
the
response
to
the
controversy
and
the
memo
from
mr
mayhem
that
there's
been
no
public
response
to
try
to
clarify
or
apologize
for
the
wording
in
quotes
in
the
merc
news.
The
director
who
was
responsible
for
proposing
this
measure.
G
Not
only
is
he
the
per
one
of
the
people,
that's
turned
out.
He
didn't
even
recuse
himself
from
the
vote
by
the
board,
even
though
he
is
directly
going
to
be
enabled
by
that
measure,
and
one
of
the
other
directors
indicated
that
this
did
not
even
have
to
go
up
to
a
public
vote
which
seems
to
me
is
how
can.
G
G
Yeah,
I'm
sorry
that
he
didn't
get
a
chance
to
finish,
but
it.
What
I
would
like
to
say
is
that
we
are
kind
of
living
in
the
world
in
this
valley
of
the
world
of
the
movie
chinatown,
and
we
everybody
that's
grown
up
here-
knows
the
water
district
as
the
golden
spigot
and
the
reason
we
know
it
as
a
golden
spirit
is
because
they
spend
spend
spend
spend
spend.
G
I
can't
afford
curved
solar
panels
on
my
house,
but
apparently
they
can
and
they
can
provide
shaded
parking
for
all
their
people
at
a
high
cost.
That's
just
one
of
the
things
the
water
district
wastes
our
money
on,
in
addition
to
a
lot
of
dumb
things
that
they
do
out
in
el
vista,
because
one
of
the
directors
owns
property
out
there.
It's
time
to,
let's
shake
up
the
hood
a
little
bit
find
out
what's
going
on
at
valley,
water
and
I'd,
say
you're
not
going
to
like
what
you
see.
G
The
other
thing
is
is
that
what
we
want
to
look
at
is
what
happened
with
the
gas
tax
here
in
california
when
they
proposed
it.
They
they.
They
essentially
tricked
the
voters
into
saying
yes
to
something
they
would
have
said
no
to
otherwise
because
of
deceptive
wording
in
the
in
the
way
that
the
vote
was
put
in
front
of
people.
The
same
is
happening
here.
Let's
stop
this
matt
mahan
has
done
an
amazing
job
of
trying
to
help
us
kind
of
counter
some
of
these
costs
that
are
happening
in
water.
It's
ridiculous.
G
G
Perk
ponds
and
nobody
has
responded
back
to
me.
I've
even
gone
to
the
mercury
news
and
they
seem
to
be
buffered
by
the
water
district
as
well.
Anderson
dam.
We
know
that's
a
waste
of
money,
it's
a
total
boondoggle.
When
are
they
going
to
get
that
open?
We
don't
have
enough
water
to
continue
to
keep
that
dam
even
filled.
Why
are
we
wasting
the
money
and
closing
it
up
and
not
having
the
water
that
we
need?
This
is
a
this
is
a
board,
that's
not
doing
its
job.
G
We
certainly
don't
want
to
allow
them
to
continue
to
do
what
they're
doing
when
they
haven't
done
a
great
job
anyway.
So
I
would
really
support
mr
mahan's
proposal
councilman
mahan's
proposal
and,
let's,
let's
let
these
guys
know
that
when
we
voted
against
it,
we
want
to
get
have
that
vote
maintained.
Thank
you,
sam
ho,.
G
Yes,
thank
you
very
much
for
the
opportunity
to
speak.
I
think
the
key.
G
A
three-term
limitation
and
when
we
want
to
go
to
four-term
limits,
we
need
to
be
expect
extending
and
not
limiting,
and
the
word
limit
needs
to
be
changed
to
extend.
G
The
printing
or
the
language,
I
hope
that
the
county
registrar's
office
able
to
change
that
to
extending
instead
of
limiting
so
that
the
you
know
the
voters
can
trust
what
we.
J
J
A
family
level
from
a
professional
level
but
from
a.
G
G
R
Hi
robert
beekman
here,
hopefully
my
my
zoom,
won't
cut
out
on
me
here
yeah
I
I
was
able
to
continue
being
part
of
the
meeting
today
to
try
to
continue
a
few
of
my
words.
R
It's
my
hope
that
you
know
if
they
are
going
for
want
to
go
for
an
extra
term,
it
would
be
because
of
the
new
water
projects
that
they've
started
in
this
era
of
covet.
19
that
you
know
covert.
19
has
been
quite
an
era
to
be
living
through.
R
I
think
some
of
the
board
water
board
people
want
to
kind
of
complete
their
term
and
and
get
the
job
done,
that
they've
undertaken
for
during
this
time
of
covid
and
to
also
mention,
of
course,
I'm
not
fully
sure.
But
do
we
have
a
possibility
of
major
natural
disasters
in
the
few
years
that
they
feel
that
being
on
the
board
still
can
be
of
help?
R
You
know
to
offer
like
a
short
extra
one
extra
term
at
this
time,
maybe
can
be
negotiable,
but
on
the
whole
you
know,
I,
I
think
we're
I've
liked
the
words
of
the
previous
speakers
and
that
we're
trying
you
know
we
want
to
respect
these
kind
of
ideas,
but
at
the
same
time
we
really
want
to
respect
the
the
election
process,
the
two-term
process-
that
I
think
we
all
admire
and
want
to
work
towards
and
respect
in
some
way
that
I
think
we
were
all
learning
how
to
redevelop
here
in
san
jose
at
this
time,
so
for
as
much
as
I
understand
their
their
the
waterboards
thinking
on
these
issues
and
can
have
examples
of
say
the
la
city
council.
R
That
has
two
five
two
five-year
terms
instead
of
two
eight-year
terms,
I
I
think
I
don't
know
I
I
hope
I'm
just
giving
examples
here
that
this
can
be
negotiable
and
all
of
our
points
that
we're
all
trying
to
make
here
at
this
time.
Thank
you.
G
Thank
you
just
like
previous
speakers.
I'm
also
want
to
make
sure
that
this
doesn't
get
passed
because
again,
I
live
in
district
five
and
the
need
for
for
support.
Instead
of
having
to
waste
money
and
extending
terms
it's
it's
just
unbelievable.
Many
of
our
families,
specifically
in
district
five,
have
been
really
impacted
by
by
covid
and
not
being
able
to
work
and
covet
losses
and
not
having
and
having
that
money.
Those
three
million
dollars
to
go
and
to
support
the
communities
that
need.
G
It
is
essential,
and
I
know
that
they've
done
something
similar
and
they
partner
with
non-profits,
but
we
need
more,
and
so
it
would
be
a
great
investment
if
that
was
derived
again
to
the
families
that
are
in
current
need
and
not
extend.
M
G
G
To
be
very,
like
previous
speaker,
said,
very
anonymous,
not
anonymous,
but
behind
doors.
So
definitely
I
would
also
encourage
everyone
to
investigate
further
into
the
water
district
board.
Members.
Thank
you
maxim.
G
Yeah,
so
just
want
to
say
you
know,
I
echo
all
the
people
who
are
against
this
measure.
I
think
a
lot
of
people
have
said
it
very
articulately
and
and
well
spoken,
will
far
smarter
than
me,
but
I
just
want
to
take
my
time
to
really
think.
G
G
A
lot
of
other
things
that
are
more
useful
that
the
the
taxpayer
can
immediately
immediately
see,
and
I
think,
furthermore,
this
just
sounds
like
a
political
process.
If
they
really
want
to
take
that
3.2
million
and
fund
it
towards
a
ballot
measure,
it
shouldn't
be
coming
out
of
the
citizens
tax
paying
wall.
It
should
instead
come
from
the
actual
political
process
of
getting
donations
and
creating.
G
G
G
G
Cycle
particularly
one's
own
election,
such
opinions
should
be
voiced
by
individuals
directly
to
valley
water,
not
as
official
actions
or
maybe
inactions
by
the
city
council.
The
council
should
be
focused.
G
B
Thank
you,
councilmember
man.
S
Thank
you
vice
mayor,
you
know,
like
all
of
the
public
speakers
we
heard
today,
except
the
last
one.
I'm
appalled
by
this
misleading
term
limit
extension
measure
that
valley
water
just
put
on
the
ballot
at
a
cost
of
3.2
million
dollars.
I
think
we
should
all
be
appalled-
and
I
want
to
thank
council
members,
uranus
davis
and
perales,
for
allowing
us
to
have
this
conversation
and
consider
this
resolution.
S
In
fact,
in
looking
out
for
their
interests
last
year
we
had
multiple
meetings
about
water
rates,
water
investments,
water
policy.
We
had
a
joint
study
session
with
valley
water.
We
had
a
session
with
the
san
jose
water
company,
we
collectively
bemoaned
the
ever
rising
rates
and
grilled
these
entities.
With
our
many
questions,
we
talked
at
length
about
the
thousands
of
families
in
san
jose
with
water
bill
debt
due
to
coven.
S
S
My
constituents
are
so
concerned
about
the
rising
cost
of
water
that
they've
even
formed
a
working
group
in
district
10,
along
with
members
from
across
the
city,
to
research.
These
issues
to
watch
valley,
water
meetings
to
track
their
votes
and
to
advocate
for
policy
change.
They
came
to
my
office
for
help
because
of
their
concerns
and
because
they
weren't
hearing
a
receptive
body
there,
and
despite
all
of
these
conversations
and
circumstances,
four
of
the
seven
directors
of
valley
water
thought
it
was
prudent
and
by
a
narrow,
4-3
vote.
S
I
want
to
emphasize
that
a
4-3
vote
decided
to
spend
3.2
million
dollars
to
try
to
extend
their
terms
in
office.
3.2
million
dollars
could
forgive
water
bill.
Debts
for
about
6
000
families
in
san
jose
could
purchase
about
30
acres
of
land
in
coyote
valley
for
water
retention
and
flood
protection
could
fund
the
transition
of
over
1
000
lawns
in
san
jose
to
drought.
Tolerant
landscaping
could
connect
another
city
park
or
two
to
the
purple
pipe
network
through
which
we
pump
recycled
water.
S
S
S
S
We
close
by
addressing
a
few
concerns
that
I
heard
from
a
couple
of
my
colleagues
at
the
rules
committee
number
one.
Well,
maybe
this
isn't
it's
not
our
place
to
criticize
other
agencies?
Well,
first
of
all,
I
think
that's
exactly
our
job
we
run
and
are
elected
to
look
out
for
the
interests
of
our
constituents.
S
Second,
I
heard
another
excuse
for
ducking
this
issue.
Well,
the
money's
been
spent
it's
already
on
the
ballot,
there's
nothing.
We
can
do
well,
it's
true.
It's
on
the
ballot
the
money's
been
spent,
but
that
doesn't
mean
we
can't
have
an
impact.
In
fact,
we
can
have
the
most
important
impact,
which
is
that
of
accountability.
S
S
Don't
get
to
exercise
that
accountability
when
they
don't
understand
what
they're
voting
on
it
is
shocking
to
me
that
this
language
has
made
it
onto
the
ballot,
but
since
it
has,
I
think
we
have
a
responsibility
to
speak
up
those
four
directors
who
voted
for
this
tried
to
take
away
from
our
community
informed
voting,
and
we
have
an
opportunity
to
join
with
other
cities
in
the
region
and
other
watchdog
groups
and
the
great
investigative
journalism.
That's
been
going
on
to
say
this
isn't
right.
S
S
That
is
our
job
is
to
stand
up
and
say
this
isn't
right,
it's
very
clear
that
it
isn't
right,
and
you
know
what
we
will
continue
to
work
together,
because
that's
our
job
they're
paid
to
do
their
job
and
we
have
to
partner
on
things,
and
we
have
to
be
accountable
to
the
public
for
delivering
safe,
reliable,
affordable
water.
We
will
continue
to
do
our
part
valley.
S
Water
will
continue
to
do
its
part
and
we
will
absolutely
find
ways
to
collaborate
if
we
start
letting
personal
relationships,
fear
of
retribution,
the
fear
that
they
might
pick
up
their
ball
and
decide
to
go
home.
Stop
us
from
speaking
up
for
what's
right
for
the
truth,
then
we've
kind
of
lost
the
whole
point
here.
That
is,
that
is
the
mentality
of
dictators
and
hostage
takers.
Let's
not
give
in
to
fear.
We
are
better
than
that.
S
Let's
speak
the
truth
and
do
what's
right
here,
director,
linda
lizotte,
said
before
voting
against
this
she's
on
the
valley
water
board.
While
it
may
be
legally
defensible,
it
is
intellectually
dishonest
to
have
ballot
language
like
this.
She
is
absolutely
right,
and
you
know
what,
when
she
asked
if
there
was
polling
to
indicate
if
the
public
saw
any
need
to
extend
terms
the
answer
she
got
implied
that
there
was
no
polling
well,
mercury
news
reporter
paul
rogers
did
a
public
records
act.
S
Request
turns
out,
two
polls
were
done
by
valley
waters,
leadership,
and
both
polls
showed
very
clearly
that
by
a
two
to
one
ratio,
when
voters
were
told
the
truth
about
this
measure,
they
opposed
it
two
to
one
ratio
and
only
when
the
wording
was
changed
to
be
framed
as
a
limit
did
they
support
it.
That's
wrong,
it's
intentionally
misleading,
and
we
owe
it
to
our
constituents
to
call
that
out.
B
H
Thank
you.
I
was
waiting
to
raise
my
hand.
I
wasn't
sure,
if
other
folks,
that
wanted
to
make
some
comments.
Let
me
just
first
state
at
the
outset
that
I
personally,
as
a
citizen
of
this
city
as
someone
that's
impacted
by
the
rates
I'll,
be
voting
no
on
the
water,
the
valley
water
measure,
I
believe
in
term
limits,
although
they
already
have
term
limits,
and
so
I'm
not
a
fan
of
what
they're
going
to
be
putting
before
the
voters.
H
H
Is
that
I
I
know,
I'm
not
sure
if
councilmember
cohen
has
been
on
these
conversations,
but
I
know
that
for
some
time
count
vice
mayor
jones
and
I
have
been
working
with
the
water
district
to
try
to
move
forward
this
idea
of
partnering
to
move
forward
this.
This
the
potential
new
construction
of
water
recycling
facility,
essentially
and
during
the
myths
of
of
this
drastic
drought
that
we're
grappling
with.
I
think
it's
certainly
a
timely
topic,
a
topic
worthwhile
and
I'd
like
to
think
that
many
of
the
water
district
board
members
aren't
gonna.
H
You
know
if
we
don't
do
this,
for
example,
or
or
or
you
know,
we're
gonna
or
actually,
if
we
do
move
forward
to
what
councilmember
mayhem
wants
that
they're
gonna,
you
know,
be
upset
with
us
and
I'm
not
really
concerned
about
that.
But
I
think
the
reality
is
we're
dealing
with
human
beings
we're
dealing
with
people.
H
I
would
agree
that
they,
you
know,
have
a
unique
way
of
doing
things
at
times,
and
I
don't
I
always
agree
with
the
way
they
operate,
but
I
think,
given
that
they're,
essentially
the
wholesale
wholesaler
of
water
in
the
area
and
we're
dealing
with
a
drought,
I
think
it's
important
and
it's
very
timely
that
we
help
do
everything
we
can
to
maintain
that
relationship
and-
and
so
one
of
the
things
that
comes
to
mind,
for
me
is
is
just
the
fundamental
question
is:
is
if
we're
helping
to
build
up
that
relationship
or
tear
it
down?
H
Us
not
moving
forward
with
this
and
and
and
moving
forward.
The
memo
I
submitted
to
decline
and
take
a
position
doesn't
preclude
any
council
member,
any
mayoral
candidate.
Anyone
really
from
holding
a
press
conference
from
speaking
their
mind
from
independently
moving
forward
resources,
actions,
political
action
committees,
whatever
it
may
be,
to
oppose
this,
and
I
just
think
that's
the
more
appropriate
place
for
this.
H
H
I
think
I
for
one.
I
think
the
type
of
leadership
that's
needed
is
to
build
bridges
and
lines
of
communication
with
these
different
elected
bodies
around
our
area,
whether
it
be
the
county
of
santa
clara,
whether
it
be
the
water
district,
whether
it
be
some
of
these
other
independent
districts.
I
think
it's
supremely
important,
and
so
I
go
back
to
that
that
early
comment
about
whether
this
is
fundamentally
building
this
up
or
built
or
tearing
down
that
relationship,
and
so
I
I
just
have
real
concerns
about
that.
H
I'm
not
a
fan
again
of
the
measure
that's
being
put
before
the
voters,
I'm
personally
not
going
to
be
supporting
it,
but
I
just
think
that
this
isn't
the
way
to
go,
and
I
expressed
a
few
other
things
in
the
memo
that
I'm
sure
people
read.
But
those
are
my
comments.
I
I
just
think
we're
going
down
the
wrong
road
and
and
don't
think
it's
the
right
thing
to
do.
Thank
you.
E
Yeah,
thank
you.
I
don't
really
have
to
say
much
more
because
councilmember
jimenez,
just
I
think,
explained
well
what
my
concerns
are
as
well
with
moving
forward
on
this.
Let
me
just
say
I
I
want
to
thank
all
the
public
commenters
who
called
in
this
is
an
important
measure
on
the
ballot
that
people
should
be
aware
of,
and
I
agree
with
the
sentiments
of
the
callers
that
express
their
concern
with
the
measure.
I
think
it's
a
deceptive
measure.
E
I
will,
I
think,
that
we
as
council
members
have,
if
we
feel
strongly
about
it,
have
an
obligation
to
stand
up
and
say
we
are
no
on
this
and
endorse
the
no
position.
When
asked
to
endorse
a
no
position
on
this
measure-
and
I
won't
be
just
like
councilmember
jimenez,
I
won't
be
supporting
the
measure.
I
don't
like.
I
didn't
like
what
what
I
heard
when
I,
when
I
read
about
it,
but
like
councilmember
menez,
I
I
work
with
the
water
district.
E
Obviously
they
they're
the
the
plant
is
in
my
district
and
we
have
a
lot
of
partnerships.
There.
We've
been
having
conversations.
I
spoke
a
lot
to
residents
who
asked
me:
where
are
we
gonna
get
all
the
water
for
all
the
development
you
do
as
a
council
stop
building,
because
there's
no
water
for
what
you're?
What
you're
approving
and
one
of
the
things
I
say
to
them?
E
In
addition
to
other
things,
is
we're
going
to
do
it
through
water
purification,
we're
going
to
have
a
water
purification
plant
first
in
palo
alto,
then
in
san
jose
and
by
by
having
other
sources
of
clean
water,
we'll
be
able
to
do
what
we
need
to
do
to
support
the
residents
in
our
city,
who
are
here
already
and
struggling
to
afford
a
place
to
live
or
moving
to
places
further
away
because
they
can't
afford
to
live
here,
and
I
know
we
have
people
in
the
room.
E
I
know
who
have
been
involved
in
negotiations
with
the
water
district
and
and
hear
from
the
water
district
that
san
jose
is
not
a
good
partner.
We're
not
sure
we
want
to.
We
can
work
well
with
san
jose.
Now
we
can.
We
can
act
in
kind
or
we
can
take
the
high
road
on
things
like
this,
and
also
we
have.
E
I
prefer
to
do
that,
rather
than
have
our
council
take
action
to
condemn
or
say
something
negative
about
our
neighboring
cities
that
we
have
to
work
with
collectively,
so
in
a
similar
way,
I'm
a
little
uncomfortable,
despite
the.
What
I
think
is
the
somewhat
sinister
nature
of
this
measure
for
the
city
of
san
jose
to
officially
adopt
a
position
opposing
it.
So
I,
like
I
said
it
rules
last
week.
E
B
Q
Thank
you.
I
don't
think
there's
any
other
way
to
take
the
high
road
than
to
vote
for
this
honestly,
because
attempting
to
deceive
the
voters
is
beyond
the
pale-
and
I
don't
know
how
voting
against
this
and
then
but
saying
publicly
that
you're
against
the
measure
is
any
way
to
preserve
any
kind
of
relationship.
Q
So
I
I'm
happy
to
support
this
support.
This
opposition
seems
like
a
weird
thing
to
say,
but
I
think
it's
important
for
us
to
stand
up
and
and
really
to
make
it
very
clear.
Q
We
all
have
the
power
of
the
pulpit
in
some
ways
I
mean
I
don't
know
about
your
email
address
list,
but
mine
is
over
ten
thousand
big
and
I
will
be
writing
about
this
and
I'm
hoping
to
say
that
the
council
took
unanimous
action
and
if
we
don't
everyone
who
votes
against
it,
who
says
publicly
that
they're
actually
against
the
measure.
I
will
be
writing
that
in
my
I'll
have
to
write
that
in
my
emails,
because
I
want
to
make
it
clear
that,
even
if
they
voted
against
this,
that
they
still
don't
support
it.
Q
I
think
that's
a
fair
thing
to
do
and
an
important
thing
to
do,
but
it
would
be
better
if
we
were
unanimous
in
our
opposition
to
this
very
deceptive
measure.
That's
going
on
to
the
ballot,
so
I
I
will
be
supporting
this
memo
because
I
do
think
it
is
important
for
us
to
help
educate
our
residents
on
something
that
has
is
has
been
put
on
the
ballot.
That
is
very
clearly
deceptive
and
I'd
just
like
to
point
out
one.
Q
I
thought
it
would
be
obvious,
but
nobody's
mentioned
it
one
thing:
if
this
measure
doesn't
pass,
there
will
be
likely
a
majority
of
people
on
the
valley
water
board
who
weren't
there
before,
because
there
are
people
terming
out.
If
this
measure
doesn't
pass
so
we'll
be
able
to
preserve
our
relationship.
A
Yeah,
thank
you
very
much
and
I
appreciate
the
the
dialogue
here.
I'll
say:
I've
spent
the
the
last
couple
months
trying
to
differentiate
myself
and
argue
with
council
member
mayhem
outside
of
this
dais,
as
has
council
member
davis,
but
in
in
times
where
I
think
there
is,
is
clear
agreement,
I'm
happy
to
to
stand
with
him.
In
this
argument,
I
can
say
that
when
I
read
through
the
the
ballot
initiative
and
then
ultimately
the
language
as
well
from
valley
water,
I
was
also
appalled
and
appalled.
A
I
think,
similarly
to
three
of
the
valley,
water
board
members,
and
so
I
I
want
to
re-highlight
that,
because
I
do
believe
that
you
know
we,
we
are
actually
standing
in
line
with
three
of
those
board
members
that
ultimately
would
likely
respect
us
even
more
in
regards
to
the
relationship
that
we
have
with
them.
A
It
may
be
the
case
that
the
other
four
are
not
pleased,
but
regardless
of
what
we
take
today,
I
I
think,
if
they're
not
going
to
be
pleased,
they're
not
going
to
be
pleased
already
because
we're
already
having
the
discussion.
So,
regardless
of
the
vote
that
we
take,
I
think
it's
been
made
very
clear
last
week
and
now
today,
where
a
number
of
us
stand
on
this
item-
and
I
would
say
first
and
foremost
I
I
am
not
a
fan
of
extending
term
limits.
A
I
am
a
fan
of
term
limits
and
I
think
that
the
the
valley
water
board
did
the
right
thing
when
they
created
those-
and
I
argued
our
mayor
with
a
number
of
my
colleagues
here
a
couple
years
ago
in
in
his
attempt
to
also
extend
his
term
by
two
years
and
couple
that,
with
other
items
that
I
felt
was
very
misleading
to
our
public,
and
I
was
willing
to
call
that
out.
A
I
think
there
was
an
opportunity,
as
there
always
is,
for
anybody
to
kind
of
call
another
body
out
whether
it
was
measure
e
that
we
recently
passed
or
measure
t
previously,
but
I
would
say
a
big
reason
why
they
didn't
do.
That
was
because
of
of
how
we
put
it
forward.
We,
we
also
had
unanimous
or
near
unanimous
support
on
those
initiatives
as
they
moved
forward.
A
Unlike
what
we
see
with
the
valley
water
board,
where
even
their
own
board
was
was
split
and
in
fact
I
think,
as
as
we've
heard,
where
director
lazad
even
mentioned
the
the
misleading
language
of
it-
and
I
I
would
say
that
is-
is
as
well
for
me
what
made
it
worse.
I
think
it'd
be
one
thing
if
it
was
just
essentially
extending
the
term
limits,
because
these
board
members
in
the
agency
felt
as
though
that
doing
so
was
going
to
benefit
the
organization
the
community,
as
they've
argued.
I
would
argue
against
that.
A
But
it's
not
just
that.
It's
also
the
fact
that
the
language
going
to
the
voters
makes
it
sound
as
though
it
is
limiting
term
limits
when
it
when,
in
fact,
it's
actually
extending
it
by
a
couple
years.
So
I
I
think
it's
very
clear
to
me
that
where
I
stand
and
that's
what
I
made
clear
last
week
at
rules
and
when
I
argued
that
you
know
what
what
is
it,
that's
actually
going
to
do,
and
it
turns
out
that
there's
not
much
right
at
this
point.
A
It's
all
moving
forward
and
really
what
it
is.
It's
about.
Educating
our
public
at
this
point-
and
I
would
say
it's
already
done
that,
because
we
had
the
conversation
last
week,
it's
we're
having
a
conversation
today
and
ultimately,
yes,
we
all
have
an
opportunity
to
go
forward
and
educate
our
constituents.
F
Thank
you.
It's
really
unfortunate
that
we
even
have
to
have
this
conversation,
because
this
is
the
worst
proposition
that
should
be
put
on
the
ballot.
It's
deceptive,
it's
it's
trying
to
pull
the
wool
over
our
voters
eyes
to
give
people
an
extra
four
years,
which
is
just
the
wrong
thing
to
do.
F
I
have
a
question,
though,
regarding
the
memo
by
councilmember
mayenn,
which
is
what
does
it
mean
for
the
council
to
take
an
opposed
position
as
far
as
staffing
is
concerned
and
as
far
as
a
resource
other
resources?
Besides
staffing.
S
I
tried
man,
yes,
my
understanding
is
that
the
resolution's
been
written.
I
think
it's
attached
to
the
agenda.
It
consists
of
about
a
half
page.
I
think
it's
done.
I
think
we
we
say
as
a
statement
of
principle
if
we
vote
here
that
we
oppose
this
and
then
I'm
asking
that
the
city
managers
team
simply
send
that
on
to
our
fellow,
the
other,
the
other
cities
within
valley
waters
jurisdiction
so
that
they
are
aware
of
the
position
we've
taken.
I
think
the
work
is
done.
F
Well,
so
the
the
the
opposition
piece
has
been
written,
but
the
staff
time
to
so
nora
is
this
your
department
that
sends
that
or
city
manager,
who
I
mean
what's
the
next
step?
We
do
this
today.
What's
the
next
step.
C
F
Do
that?
Okay,
I'm
just
trying
to
understand
the
next
step
and
the
so
the
cost
associated
with
that
it's
just
it's
an
electronic
transmission,
so
there's
really
no
as
it's
minimal
as
far
as
timing,
it
time
is
concerned.
Is
that
what
you're
saying
yes,
okay,
I
I
happened
to
run
into
commissioner
lazad
yesterday
and
she's
my
district
9
resident
and
also
my
charter
commissioner.
F
So
we
had
an
interesting
conversation
about
that
yesterday,
but
she
was
adamant
about
her
position
to
vote
no
for
this
when
it
came
to
their
commission-
and
I
indicated
that
I
would
support
her
decision.
I
bel-
I
agree
with
her-
that
this
is
deceptive
and
it's
the
wrong
thing
to
do
so
as
much
as
I
respect
the
position
that
council
member
jimenez
is
coming
from,
I
have
to
vote
no
and
or
I
have
to
support
council
member
mayhem's
memo
and
vote
no
to
and
vote
to
oppose
valley
waters
proposal.
S
Thanks
and
I'll
I'll
be
quick
and
trying
to
conclude
my
thoughts
here
I
mean,
I
have
to
say,
I'm
fairly
disappointed
by
a
couple
of
the
rationalizations
I
heard
earlier
on
the
waste
of
time.
Like
I
said,
the
resolution
is
written.
This
consists
of
now
emailing
this
out.
I
heard
talk
of
maintaining
relationships
and,
frankly,
having
a
relationship
in
which
we
don't
stand
up
for
honesty
and
integrity
is,
is
not
a
healthy
relationship,
that's
not
the
kind
of
relationship
we
should
be
aiming
for.
I
I
too
have
a
working
relationship
with
valley
water.
S
They
are
headquartered
in
my
district,
we're
working
together
on
a
massive
project
in
almaden
lake
we've
collaborated
on
insurance.
We
can
continue
our
fireworks
show.
I
have
a.
I
have
a
healthy,
productive
working
relationship
with
valley
water
on
many
levels,
that
that
doesn't
mean
that
we
shouldn't
stand
up
for
what's
right
and
yes,
we
might
upset
a
couple
of
board
members,
so
be
it.
S
I
heard
that
that
from
a
colleague
that
the
nature
of
the
measure
is
sinister,
but
we
don't
want
to
vote
against
it
today.
We
should
do
that
on
our
own
and
I
think
dev
made
I'm
sorry.
Councilor
davis
made
the
right
point
when
we
say
people
ought
to
be
aware.
People
ought
to
kind
of
figure
this
out.
Well,
this
is
our
opportunity
to
do
that.
There's
no
money
to
tell
the
public
the
truth
about
what
is
on
the
ballot.
This
is
it.
S
This
is
our
best
shot
at
telling
our
constituents
what
they're
voting
on
and
what
the
truth
is.
There's
no
better
easier
way
to
do
it
doing
this
will
collectively,
particularly
unanimously,
will
make
it
easier
for
us
to
tell
our
constituents
it
will
make
it
more
likely
that
press
will
cover
this
without
the
power
of
the
press,
the
public's
going
to
be
in
the
dark
on
what
they're
voting
on
this
is
our
single
best
shot
at
making
sure
people
are
informed
and
I'll.
S
Just
I'll
close
by
you
know,
I'm
going
to
borrow
a
comment
that
stuck
in
my
head
from
a
quite
a
while
back.
I
don't
even
remember
if
I
was
on
the
council,
yet
I
remember
councilor
spars
is
saying
that
she
was.
She
was
frustrated
because
a
few
colleagues
were
twisting
themselves
into
pretzels
to
justify
a
bad
vote
and
that's
I.
I
appreciated
that
comment
and
I
just
I
would
ask
my
colleagues
who
are
opposing
this
and
I
don't
know
if
it's,
because
I'm
a
candidate
for
an
office,
if
that's
what's
motivating
it
or
what.
S
But
if,
if
councilmember
davis
and
councilman
perales-
and
I
can
all
say,
this
is
clearly
wrong-
it's
dishonest.
Let's
just
have
a
relationship
founded
in
honesty,
then,
let's
quit
twisting
ourselves
into
pretzels
to
justify
not
doing
the
right
thing.
Let's
just
do
the
right
thing,
communicate
it
to
the
public,
encourage
fellow
cities
to
do
the
same,
and
let's
move
on
and
establish
our
working
relationship
with
valley,
water,
on
a
firmer
footing
of
honesty
and
we're
not
going
to
be
bullied
because
they
might
make
it
harder
to
work
with
them.
H
Let
me
just
be
frank.
I
think
oftentimes
up
here,
we
we
sort
of
dance
around
some
of
these
issues,
and
so
the
first
thing
I
say
I'll
say,
is
in
part
of
the
language
in
the
memo
that
I
originally
put
together.
H
I
I
you
know,
there's
talk
of
you
know
this
feeling
of
being
bullied
and
such
and
and
so
I'm
certainly
not
a
fan
of
bullies
and
I'm
not
interested
in
being
bullied
by
anyone,
but
I
got
to
tell
you
that
I
sort
of
have
the
sense
that
this
is
what
it
feels
like,
and
so
I
have
challenges
with
that.
I
I
am
going
to
vote
my
conscience
and
and
to
council
member
davis's
comments
about
putting
something
in
a
newsletter,
letting
everyone
know
how
he
voted.
I
welcome
that.
H
Please
do
so,
but
all
I
would
ask
is
just
be
accurate,
just
be
accurate
and
I
think
it
you
know.
The
outside
of
my
comments
is
that
I
will
be
voting
no
on
this.
I'm
not
supportive
of
the
measure
itself,
but
I
think
there's
other
ways
to
look
at
it.
Apart
from
what
councilmember
mayhem
continues
to
peddle,
and
so
you
know
again,
there's
many
things
that
are
off
often
go
in
subs.
H
O
H
Not
interested
in
going
down
that
road
and
just
to
offer
a
few
rhetorical
questions
for
folks,
not
looking
for
answers,
but
it's
in
my
memo
I
mean:
where
does
this
end
right?
Are
we
opening
the
door
for
other
jurisdictions
to
take
positions
on
things
that
we're
voting
on,
say,

H
Where
does
this
end
and
whether
we
like
it
or
not,
then
some
folks
maybe
know
it
better
than
others
up
here,
but
getting
things
done
requires
relationships
requires
talking
and
this
this
recommendation
by
councilmember
mayhem,
I
feel,
goes
contrary
to
that,
and
so
I'm
not
supportive
of
it.
I'm
just
simply
not
supportive
of
it,
and-
and
you
know
I
I
think,
as
I
said
earlier-
you're
we're
dealing
with
individuals
we're
dealing
with
people,
and
certainly
you
know
you
know.
I
have
a
good
relationship
with
director
lazad,
for
example.
H
I
I'm
sure
I
will
continue
to
have
a
good
relationship
after
this
vote.
My
my
support
of
what
I've
put
forward
has
nothing
to
do
with
me
feeling
concerned
that
I'm
going
to
alienate
someone
or
that
I'm
going
to
make
someone
someone
upset.
Quite
frankly,
I'm
sure
these
comments
are
making
the
other.
You
know
some
folks
upset.
H
I
try
to
steer
away
from
that
that
that's
not
what
concerns
me
most,
but
I
think,
quite
frankly,
we're
out
of
our
lane
here
we're
out
of
our
lane
and
and-
and
I
I'm
curious
as
to
where
this
ends,
I
think,
over
the
time
I've
been
in
office,
I've
seen
the
impacts
of
not
having
a
good
working
relationship
with,
say
the
water
district,
but
say
the
county,
and
I
think
you
know,
council,
member
mayhem
often
talks
about
trade-offs.
H
So
we
go
down
this
road.
We
support
this.
I
think
the
trade-off
is
going
to
be
that
we
further
exacerbate
the
relationship
and
damage
that
relationship
with
a
crucial
body,
whether
we
like
it
or
not,
of
directors
that
help
manage
the
water
supply
in
our
region.
Why
would
we
do
that
for
political
reasons
to
score
some
political
points,
I'm
just
not
interested
in
going
down
that
road,
as
councilmember
foley
said
earlier,
I'm
surprised
we're
even
discussing
this.
I
think
it's
a
waste
of
time
and
and
folks
can
feel
free
to
jot
that
down.
H
I
think
it's
a
waste
of
time,
and
so
those
are
all
the
comments
I
just
I
just
get
a
little
frustrated
that
sometimes
we
have
these
discussions
and
some
of
these
things
aren't
said-
and
I
think
it's
important
to
surface
some
of
these
things,
because
this
is
for
everyone
listening
and
everyone
watching
online.
H
B
Thank
you,
haley
thought
you
were
going
to
be
able
to
like
kind
of
fly
under
the
radar,
but
I'm
going
to
ask
you
a
question.
B
I
know
you
were,
and
I
asked
you
to
actually
ask
you
a
similar
question
in
rules,
and
that
was.
Could
you
think
of.
B
A
ballot
measure
or
anything
related
to
a
local
jurisdiction
like
the
county
or
the
water
district,
where
we
took
an
opposing
position
and
I
want
to
actually
expand
that
to
even
say
a
statewide
ballot
measure.
I
I
know
that
we've
taken
positions
of
support
or
opposed,
but
once
is
actually
on
the
ballot.
G
So,
yes,
you
did
ask
me
that
at
rules
last
week,
I
you
know
did
a
quick
research
of
that
and
at
least
at
a
local
level.
I
can't
recall,
since
I've
been
here
and
at
least
looking
at
ballot,
pedia
really
quick
any
time
that
we
as
an
organization
have
taken
a
post
position
on
a
local
measure
or
had
another
government
entity
oppose
one
of
our
measures
that
were
put
in
front
of
our
voters.
G
G
I
don't
recall,
and
again
that's
you
know,
based
off
of
last
week's
question
and
my
own
memory
in
a
few
conversations
I
don't
recall,
is
taking
in
a
post
position
on
a
local
measure.
B
Okay,
great
and
the
reason
why
I
asked
that
question
is
the
way
I'm
looking
at.
This
is
there's
a
point
in
time
where
you
know
we
could
take
a
policy
position
or
we
could
have
taken
a
policy
position
to
oppose
this
to
keep
to
prevent
it
from
going
on
the
ballot
or
you
know,
to
oppose
the
spending
of
the
money,
but
we're
past
that
point
and
I
did
in
rules.
B
I
was
the
person
that
brought
up
the
issue
around
the
relationship,
of
course,
how
I
said
it
when
I
said
it
sounded
a
lot
better
than
how
you
you
summarized
it,
but
you
know
relationships
do
matter
and
relationships
with
the
county
race
relationships
with
the
water
district.
You
know
do
matter,
that's
not
my
primary
reason
why
I'm
not
going
to
support
councilmember
man's
memo,
I'm
not
going
to
support
it
because
from
the
moment
I
received
that
memo
in
reddit.
B
You
know
I
want
to
support.
You
know
your
policy
initiatives,
but
once
I
feel
like
it's
crossed
the
line
between
policy
and
politics,
I
have
a
hard
time
supporting
it
at
council.
Now
it's
been
said
many
times
in
this
discussion
that
each
and
every
one
of
us
has
an
opportunity
to
individually
oppose
this
ballot
measure
you
can
put
in
your
newsletter,
I'm
already
getting
newsletters
opposing
it
filling
up
my
inbox,
so
we
all
have
that
opportunity,
but
is
this
the
appropriate
venue
to
take
that
stand?

Today's
presentation,
brief
presentation
is
on
the
california,
low-income
household
water
assistance
program,
but
before
we
do
that,
I
just
want
to
do
a
quick,
a
quick
update
on
on
a
previous
program
that
we've
been
working
on.
You
may
recall,
back
in
january,
council
approved
city
participation
in
a
different
program:
the
california
water
and
wastewater,
a
regis
payment
program
that
program
provided
funding
for
accounts
with
outstanding
balances
between
march
2020
and
june
through
june
2021.
E
In
brief,
summary,
san
jose's
municipal
water
system
applied
541
000
to
about
978
customers
and
both
san
jose
water
company
and
great
oaks.
Water
company
also
participated
in
the
program
together,
crediting
approximately
6.4
million
to
about
7
900
customers.
E
We're
almost
we're
almost
done
with
that
program.
There's
a
little
bit
of
paperwork
and
reporting
left
to
be
done,
but
there
is
another
program
that's
coming
up,
and
that
is
the
action
in
front
of
you
today.
It's
on
the
new
california
low-income
assistance
program.
This
is
a
little
bit
different
than
the
arrearages.
It
will
provide
financial
assistance
to
low-income
households,
primarily
the
intent
there
is
to
help
pay
outstanding
bills.
E
We
have
various
roles
and
actions
associated
with
this,
but
our
primary
one
is:
is
our
forward-facing
action
and
in
assisting
sacred
heart,
the
local
service
provider
and
promoting
the
program
along
with
great
oaks
and
san
jose
water
company
they're
also
participating
in
the
program.
So
a
majority
of
our
time
will
be
spent
on
outreach,
developing
handout,
material
and
digital
content
for
use.
B
All
right,
thank
you,
tony,
do
we
have
any
public
comments.
R
R
Good
luck
in
how
I
think,
if
we
make
the
subsidy
process
open
to
ourselves
in
this
new
era,
we're
entering
it
can
be
difficult,
but
if
we
make
the
steps
to
try
to
make
it
a
more
open,
understandable
process,
what
subsidies
can
offer
our
current
set
of
rate
height
questions,
things
wouldn't
be
so
difficult
and
confusing,
and-
and
I
don't
think
we'd
be-
I
don't
know
just
backbiting
each
other
so
much
very
much
of
a
thank
you
to
everyone.
R
On
the
previous
item,
I
think
everyone
had
a
really
interesting
point
of
view
about
the
future
of
politics
and
policy
in
the
future
of
san
jose
and
and
to
quickly
conclude
good
luck
on
how
we
can
all
address
the
future
of
the
term
limit
questions
in
san
jose.
Thank
you.
D
Since
when
do
I
owe
my
neighbor
their
water
bill
right?
Why
do
I
have
to
pay
water
bills?
Are
hundreds
and
hundreds
of
dollars
for
people
who
you
know
they
can
afford
it.
But
it's
a
lot
of
money.
You
guys
just
think
hey.
You
know
what
we're
gonna
we're
gonna
take
from
someone
else
and
give
it
to
people
who
claim
to
be
in
need,
and
how
fair
is
that
I
mean,
if
you
ask
me
that
stealing
and
these
water
rates
are
already
sky
high.
D
I
mean
they
even
remember
back
when
they,
when
the
water
company
was
charging
people
excessive
rates,
because
there
was
a
glitch
in
their
system.
You
guys
remember
that
that
didn't
affect
san
jose
users
as
effective
people
lost
gas
monster
and
saratoga
doesn't
matter
the
company
did
it
right
and
that's
what
they're
capable
of
doing
and
then
they
make
you
come
back
and
prove
it
and
no,
there
should
be
across
the
board
water
reductions.
You
people
need
to
use
your
power
to
lean
on
valley,
water,
san
jose,
water,
pg
e.
D
You
don't
do
anything,
I
mean
all
right.
You
show
up
to
a
job
fair.
I
mean
you
guys
do
good
at
that,
or
you
make
sure
that
certain
members
of
the
community
get
hired
at
these
places,
but
do
you
ever
do
anything
to
help
out
with
regular
rate
payers?
Never
never.
Never
the
people
on
that
city
council
do
not
care
about
the
regular
rate
payer.
It's
disgusting,
you
guys,
should
be
ashamed
of
yourself.
Really
it's
just
disgusting!
M
Thank
you
vice
mayor.
I'm
I'm
really
happy
to
be
talking
about
a
different
kind
of
item,
but
still
on
water
and
how
important
it
is.
So
I
I
want
to
just
thank
the
staff
for
all
the
work
that
you
you've
done.
I
know
you
heard
us
loud
and
clear
jeff.
Thank
you
so
much
for
the
work
that
you're
doing
we
we
we
shared
with
you,
how
worried
we
were
about
our
customers
and
about
our
residents
and
and
you
and
you
just
came
back
and
you
bam
here.
M
It
is
and
it's
this
is
a
strange
number,
but
it's
880
customers
that
were
assisted
through
the
california,
water
and
wastewater,
a
railroad
payment
program.
It
just
rolls
off
the
tongue.
Doesn't
it.
M
And,
and
so
I'm
really
excited
that
you're
now
taking
us
into
a
different
program
for
our
customers,
I'm
I'm
really
grateful.
It
makes
it's
going
to
make
such
a
huge
difference
for
for
our
customers.
So
thank
you
so
much.
Thank
you.
Thank
you
for
all
the
work
that
you're
doing
and
with
that
I
just
want
to
move
this.
This
memo.
B
All
right,
it's
been
moved
and
seconded
council
member
esparza.
G
Thank
you,
I'm
going
to
try.
Turning
on
my
my
camera,
we'll
see
if
it
works,
so
I
had
a
question
on
the
costs
so.
G
E
Great
question:
thank
you.
Yes,
the
way
we
have
it
set
up
here
and
the
council
action
before
you,
it's
200,
000
up
front
with
about
300
000
in
the
reserve
and
kind
of
looking
at
the
program
needs
what
our
involvement
is
going
to
be
the
best
way
of
communicating.
E
There
are
a
couple
different
entities,
namely
sacred
heart
and
the
other
water
retailers,
and
some
other
programs
too,
that
we
want
to
reach
out
to,
but
we
don't
want
to
duplicate
services
or
duplicate
our
effort
and
so
really
kind
of
looking
at
this,
as
we
go
through
the
next
year
of
really
kind
of
fine-tuning
our
outreach
to
to
address
areas
that
may
not
be
that
may
not
occur
through
through
more
traditional
approaches.
E
As
part
of
this
program
too,
I
was
going
to
mention
sacred
heart:
has
the
lead
responsibility
as
the
local
service
provider
and
doing
outreach?
Our
job
is
really
to
assist,
and
so
we
have
that
there.
But
it's
not
it's
not
a
hard
commitment
to
spend
all
500
000,
it's
really
to
kind
of
let's,
let's
get
into
this
and
figure
out
what
we
need
to
do
to
get
the
message
out
to
the
most
people
that
we
can.
G
Okay,
thank
you
for
that.
So
it's
a
ceiling
but
yeah
and-
and
I
just
wanted
to
add-
because
we
had
discussed
this
when
this
had
come
to
council
before-
is
that
we
have
a
system.
We
have
over
20
equity
partners
non-profits
all
over
that
have
been
helping
us
with
rental
assistance
and
they've,
been
remarkably
successful
because
they're
on
the
ground,
they're
already
working
with
families
in
need,
and
so
I
would
just
encourage
you
to
use
that
network.
G
A
sacred
heart
is
a
leader
of
that
network,
but
to
encourage
the
use
of
that
instead
of
reinventing
any
wheels,
because
there
are
a
lot
of
families
out
there
in
need
and
a
lot
of
organizations
that
have
been
partnering
with
the
city
and
the
county
on
getting
the
word
out.
That's
it
for
me
I'll,
be
happy
to
support
it.
B
Thank
you,
don't
see,
other
hands
raised
or.
G

B
B
All
right
on
to
item
8.1
proposed
changes
to
the
spending
priorities
and
percentage
allocations,
measure
e,
real
property
transfer
taxes
and
I'm
going
to
open
the
public
hearing
now
and
we're
going
to
have
a
presentation.
L
Good
afternoon
city
councils,
I'm
jackie
morales
verand
and
I'm
the
director
of
the
housing
department
and
I'm
joined
today
by
jim,
shannon,
who
is
our
budget
director
and
also
chris
alexander
from
the
city
attorney's
office
in
march,
2020
san
jose
voters
passed
measure
e,
a
transfer
tax
collected
on
properties
valued
at
2
million
dollars,
and
higher
collections
this
year
have
been
fueled
by
large
commercial,
real
estate
transfers
and
are
now
expected
to
reach
90
million
dollars.
L
These
additional
funds,
combined
with
direction
from
the
rules
committee
in
september,
to
identify
sources
of
funds
for
the
construction
and
operations
of
interim
housing,
have
brought
us
here
today
to
consider
changes
to
the
city
council
policy
that
prescribes
the
allocation
of
measure
e
funds.
Today
is
the
second
of
two
public
hearings
that
will
be
held
to
consider.
These
proposed
changes.
L
The
original
purpose
of
measurie
funds
was
twofold:
one
to
increase
the
production
of
affordable
housing
and
to
fund
homeless
prevention
programs
demand
for
city
funding
for
affordable
housing
is
growing
with
measure
a
funds
nearly
depleted,
affordable
housing
developers.
Developers
are
looking
to
the
city
to
continue
to
meet
a
growing
financing
need,
at
the
same
time,
count
the
county
destination
home
and
several
other
cities
have
come
together
to
bring
forward
a
community
plan
to
end
homelessness.
L
The
first
portion
of
the
policy
change
is
to
expand
and
clarify
the
definitions
included
in
the
city
council
policy
for
each
category.
These
changes
will
provide
clarity
moving
forward
regarding
the
types
of
costs
that
may
be
included
in
each
category.
The
first
category
will
be
renamed
to
the
creation
of
new,
affordable
housing
for
extremely
low
income.
Households.
L
L
L
L
L
We
are
recommending
that
we
maintain
the
homeless
prevention
category
at
10
percent
and
allowing
the
allocation
of
15
percent
to
the
new
homeless
services
category
as
the
revenue
for
measure
e
grows.
Adjusting
the
first
two
categories
will
continue
to
provide
funding
at
a
level
necessary
to
support
ongoing
development
of
permanent
housing.
L
L
One
question
that
arose
as
if
is
if
the
homeless
prevention
system
had
capacity
for
10
percent
of
measure
e
funding
ongoing.
Our
team
has
confirmed
the
system
does
have
that
capacity
and
will
use
the
projected
funds
to
support
the
homeless
prevention
program.
At
this
point,
I'm
going
to
turn
it
over
to
jim.
T
Good
afternoon,
council
so
to
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
the
funding
impacts
of
the
city's
continued
commitment
to
both
support,
affordable
housing
and
homelessness
prevention,
but
then
also
providing
support
for
homeless,
homeless
programs.
And
so
you
know.
That
is
one
of
the
reasons
why
we
are
are
here
today
to
be
able
to
make
sure
that
we
have
an
ongoing,
stable
funding
source
to
help
support,
especially
council's
goal
for
adding
more
interim
housing
communities
both
for
their
construction
and
operations.
T
The
last
time
that
we
were
here
back
in
february,
the
council
had
requested
staff
to
come
back
with
a
little
bit
more
additional
analysis
about
what
sort
of
a
longer
term
strategy
might
look
like
what
are
the
different
funding
sources
that
could
be
available
to
support
construction
operations
of
interim
housing
over
the
longer
the
longer
term.
And
so
there
are
some
really
nasty
attachments
to
the
memorandum.
That
sort
of
talk
about
that
and
kind
of
show.
T
The
various
different
pots
of
funding
that
the
housing
department
has
leveraged
with
the
city
council's
support
to
be
able
to
cobble
together
some
funding,
but
that
funding
really
sort
of
exists.
As
as
we
know
it
only
for
a
few
more
years,
while
there
could
be
some
more
funding
that
will
likely
come
online
in
latter
years,
we
can't
necessarily
count
on
it.
So
one
of
the
directions
that
we
have
as
staff
is
to
figure
out.
Well,
how
would
we
be
able
to
support
these
operations
over
a
longer
period
of
time?
T
Measure
e
is
certainly
one
of
those
strategies,
but
we
will
probably
need
well
for
sure
we
will
need
additional
resources
beyond
sort
of
the
current
grant,
funding
that
we
have
cobbled
together
plus
measure
e-funding
and
which
is
why
there
is
direction
in
the
march
budget
message
for
us
to
come
back
as
part
of
the
proposed
budget
to
sort
of
put
together
what
that
financial
impacts
might
might
be.
This
is
a
little
bit
of
a
preview
of
that
here,
where
we
kind
of
modeled
out
a
couple
of
a
few
different
scenarios.
T
So
in
the
first
scenario,
we
have
all
the
current
eih
sites,
as
well
as
the
project
home
home
key
sites
that
we
currently
have
authorized
and
under
construction.
T
Now,
if
we
kind
of
you
know
map
out
the
where
the
funding
that
we
have,
along
with
the
6.2
million,
we
think
will
be
available
on
an
ongoing
basis
from
measure
e
we're
pretty
good
over
the
next
10
10
years
and
in
2009
20
and
29
30,
we,
we
will
need
a
little
bit
of
subsidy
from
the
general
fund
in
this.
You
know
very
sketched
out
scenario.
It
will
be
about
four
million
dollars
in
that
year.
However,
things
get
a
little
bit
more
expensive
as
we
go
to
the
other
other
scenarios.
T
In
this
case,
you
know,
modeling
about
10
million
from
the
american
rescue
plan
fund
and
ongoing
contributions
from
the
general
fund,
that
sort
of
ramp
up
starting
in
25
26,
to
29
30
from
2
to
get
to
12
to
12
million.
T
Because,
as
we
accumulate
money
in
the
early
years,
then
we
start
spending
it
down
in
the
outer
the
outer
years
and
then,
finally,
we
have
sort
of
our
current
sites,
plus
our
pending
project
home
key
application,
plus
four
additional
eih
sites,
which
we
had
councils
not
yet
explicitly
authorized,
but
provided
us
direction
to
go,
find
them.
So
that
would
be
you
know.
T
Quite
a
bit
more
infusion
would
be
needed,
and
so
we
would
be
looking
at
putting
something
on
the
realm
of
about
40
million
dollars
on
a
one-time
basis
to
kick-start
some
of
those
construction
and
seed
funding
for
future
operations,
and
then
it
would
need
to
come
back
in
2324
and
throughout
the
rest
of
the
10-year
period
to
ramp
up
likely
the
general
fund
contributions.
If
you
know
no
other
funding
sources
come
in,
which
you
know
there'll
probably
be
something
else
that
will
be
coming
in.
T
If
there
is
no
other
philanthropic
contribution,
which
we
hope
that
there
are
some
philanthropic
contributions,
so
just
kind
of
gives
a
flavor
sort
of
of
what
the
city
will
be
taking
on
as
we
go
into
those
we're
going
to
give
a
lot
more
information
in
a
manager's
budget
addendum
as
part
of
the
budget
process,
but
did
want
to
provide
and
be
responsible
for
the
council
direction.
T
Come
back
with
the
sort
of
implications,
as
we
you
know,
go
down
the
road
of
putting
more
city
resources
on
the
table
to
some
more
to
support
our
own
house
community.
So
that's
all
those
numbers
up
there,
our
next
steps.
This
is
slightly
modified
because
we
are
going
to
come
back.
I
think
and
have
the
discussion
vote
on
the
following
week,
but
these
are
the
steps
that
was
outlined
as
part
of
city
council
policy
1-8-18,
because
we
are
talking
about
changing
how
the
policy
looks
and
how
the
money
is
budgeted.
T
And
so
we
are
here
on
april,
4th
14th
we'll
come
back
on
the
19th
for
the
vote,
and
then
we
will
be
back
on
may
3rd
with
the
updated
spending
plan
and
budget
that
I
think
first
is
reviewed
by
the
hcdc
and
then
also
all
these
items
will
also
be
included
in
the
proposed
budget,
which
will
be
released
at
the
very
beginning
of
may,
and
with
that
I
think
we
are
wrapped
up.
L
D
Yeah,
I
can't
believe
what
I
just
heard
like
happy
holy
week.
Everybody,
I
think
you
guys
are
close
on
good
friday,
glad
you
guys
are
going
to
be
getting
paid
for
that
hope.
You
mentioned
good
friday,
but
anyway
I
I
can't
believe
I
heard
a
whole
speech
about
low-income
housing.
Without
the
word
favela
I
mean
here's
what
they
have
in
brazil.
D
We
need
to
start
building
favelas
in
the
hillside,
because
that's
what's
going
to
happen,
if
you
guys
get
your
way
but
you'll
never
have
enough
money
to
food
and
house
and
cloth
have
food
and
clothing
and
housing
and
healthcare,
and
you
know
paying
for
people's
internet
and
electricity
and
water.
Where
does
it
end?
I
don't
think
the
city
is
going
to
be
able
to
have
a
budget
to
house
every
single
person.
Have
you
seen
these
tent
cities?
Have
you
seen
these
four
people
living
in
hotels,
winnebagos
and
everything
else?
D
All
of
a
sudden,
presto,
you're,
gonna,
you're
gonna
get
a
bunch
of
money,
wave
a
wet
magic
wand
and
put
everybody
in
this
kind
of
housing?
I
don't
you
cannot
build
it
fast
enough.
You
don't
have
the
resources,
you
don't
even
have
the
labor
to
do
it.
There's
not
enough
blue-collar
workers
to
even
do
all
this
kind
of
work
that
you
want
to
do,
let
alone
the
money
and
these
guys
they
don't.
You
know
they
charge
a
lot
of
money
for
their
skill
and
their
craft
likely.
D
So
so
I
I
actually
I
want
to
see
watching
this
city
council
try
to
do
these
things.
It's
just
comical.
It
really
isn't
a
city
council,
it's
a
student
council
with
the
real
estate
minded
student
council.
You
guys
are
you
guys,
are
going
down
a
wrong
path.
I
mean
all
of
a
sudden
you're
gonna
replace
the
fish
market
with
some
low
income
housing.
Next
to
light
rail
light
rail
to
wear
your
projects
are,
are
just
comical
I
mean
just
keep
doing
it.
I
mean
because
you're
going
to
do
it
anyway.
I
can't
stop.
R
Hi
thanks
a
lot
for
this
item,
I'm
a
bit
more
hopeful
and
positive
and
what
you
guys
can
be
working
towards.
Thank
you.
I
think,
to
just
kind
of
go
over
just
kind
of
some
regular
talking
points.
I
have
of
this
sort
of
item.
You
know
as
important
as
homekey
has
been.
I
think
you
know
there
can
be
a
future
of
cal
of
subsidies,
money
we
can
be
expecting
from
the
state
level.
I
mean
they're,
really
regrowing.
R
R
In
this
you
know,
from
the
era
of
covert
19
they've
been
building
up
funding
sources
and
patterns
at
the
state
level,
so
it
is
with
that
that
it's
not
just
the
future
of
home
key,
but
it's
that
we
really
can
rely
on
our
already
established
good
housing
practices
and
principles
to
use
this
money
to
really
help
subsidize
and
find
housing
for
our
low
income,
people
and
people
who
are
in
house
now,
it's
difficult
for
us
to
really
start
to
talk
about
that
better
or
to
talk
about
that
better.
R
I
hope
you
can
learn
how
to
make
those
efforts
to
make
it
more
accessible
and
understandable
to
ourselves,
and
we
can
grow
comfortable
with
the
subject
matter.
It's
difficult
to
learn
how
to
do.
I
hope
we're
learning
how
to
do
that
and
that
needs
open
communication
and
dialogue
and
good
talking,
and
hopefully
this
sort
of
item
is
helping
in
that
process
for
all
of
us.
Hopefully,
this
can
be
a
time
to
the
words
of
bob
brownstein
yesterday
about
flexibility.
R
P
Thank
you.
I
just
wanted
to
comment
on
the
memo
from
the
mayor
and
there
were
four
council
members
on
that
memo
and
in
it
in
under
the
background
area,
it
says
that
in
2018
we
attempted
to
launch
a
forgivable
loan
program
in
partnership
with
the
housing
trust,
silicon
valley,
and
it
goes
on
to
say,
but
basically
due
to
a
multitude
of
factors
attributable
to
nobody's
fault,
the
housing
trust
paused
its
portion
of
the
program.
I
just
think
it
might
be
beneficial
to
the
public
to
know
what
does
that
mean?
P
It
was
attributable
to
nobody's
fault
a
little
bit
more
about
why
it
was
paused
in
helping
to
offer
solutions
or
brainstorming
ideas
for
what
we
can
do.
It
helps
to
understand,
even
though
it
was
nobody's
fault,
what
what
was
the
absolute
reason
that
it
was
paused
also,
I
want
to
say
that
it
might
have
been
paused,
but
what
I
have
a
question
about
is:
have
we
explored
any
concepts
or
ideas
around
offsetting
the
person
who
builds
an
adu
in
their
backyard?
P
If
they're
willing
to
say
you
know
cap
their
rent
at
a
certain
amount
to
make
it
somewhat
affordable
that
they
are,
then
they
can
have
their
property
taxes
offset
by
any
amount
that
is
reduced.
In
other
words,
you
know
just
less
tax
dollars
taken
in
in
property
taxes,
almost
dollar
for
dollar,
for
somebody
that
has
a
place
to
stay,
and
we
can
house
somebody
somebody's
willing
to
actually
have
a
limit
on
an
adu
in
their
backyard.
P
I
would
imagine
those
very
few
wonderful
people
willing
to
do
that,
but
there
has
to
be
a
real
benefit
to
them,
and
a
real
benefit
would
be
that
dollar
for
dollar,
or
maybe
even
two
for
one
dollars
that
their
property
taxes
are
offset.
I
don't
know,
have
we
explored
that
option?
It
just
seems
like
there
might
be
something
there.
Thank
you.
G
Yes,
good
evening
afternoon,
excuse
me
mayor
council
staff,
matthew
reed
from
silicon
valley
at
home.
We
are
here
today
to
support
the
recommendations
from
staff
to
adjust
the
spending
priorities.
G
We
are
committed
to
a
continuum
of
responses,
including
displacement,
homeless,
prevention,
support
for
a
range
of
interim
shelter
and
harm
mitigation
efforts
and
the
continued
development
of
permanent,
affordable
housing
that
people
need,
since
its
passage
by
the
voters
in
2020,
with
strong
leadership
from
the
mayor
and
the
council,
measure
e
has
become
an
essential
resource
in
the
city's
response
to
the
housing
crisis
and
owing
to
a
record-breaking
sales
of
commercial
property
during
the
pandemic.
The
program
has
outperformed
expectations,
even
as
we
support
the
proposed
changes.
G
Our
greatest
challenge
remains
our
limited
resources
to
respond
to
the
magnitude
and
complexity
of
the
need
in
san
jose
34
000
families
about
25
of
the
renter
households
in
the
city
pay
over
half
of
their
income
for
rent.
These
households
are
overwhelmingly
extremely
low
income,
very
low
income,
working
families
struggling
mightily
every
day
and
with
very
little
buffer
should
they
face
increased
costs
or
unexpected
expenses.
We
must
redouble
and
recommit
our
our
commitment
to
providing
additional
resources.
We
need
for
affordable
oscar
castro.
G
Working
partnerships
we
like
to
express
our
support
for
staff's
recommendations
in
regards
to
measure
e,
and
these
proposed
spending
changes
and
adding
this
new
bucket
as
well.
In
particular,
we'd
like
to
really
express
our
appreciation
for
maintaining
this
10
dedication
for
homeless
prevention.
As
previously
mentioned,
renters
are
spending
a
lot
of
money
and
have
been
in.
G
Now
more
than
ever
is
really
important
to
prioritize
these
very
important
programs,
so
again,
we'd
like
to
thank
staff
for
their
work
and
their
thought
into
making
these
recommendations
that
we
urge
council
to
support
them.
Thank
you
very
much.
G
Thank
you.
This
is
roma
dawson
district
one
resident
speaking
today
as
an
individual.
I
support
staff
recommendations
and
hope
you
adopt
them.
The
memo,
references
funding
from
other
governmental
sources
and
the
importance
of
that
I'd
like
to
ask
council
members
to
think
thoughtfully
about
looking
at
aca
14
recently
introduced
by
assembly
member
wix.
G
It
made
it
out
of
her
housing
committee
and
will
he
have
another
hearing
on
april
24th.
I
believe
this
is
a
game
changer
bill
it.
It
is
a
dreaded
carve
out-
and
I
know
in
san
jose
we
hate
carve
outs
for
budget.
However,
given
the
crisis
we
are
facing,
this
bill
would
set
aside
five
percent
of
the
general
fund
for
a
10-year
period
for
as
much
as
perhaps
10
billion
a
year.
I
hope
you'll
expedite
its
consideration.
G
If
nothing
else,
it
may
spur
the
governor
to
put
a
permanent
set
aside
for
programs
for
affordable
housing
and
homelessness
in
the
may
revision,
and
thank
you
very
much
for
your
attention
and
I
want
to
congratulate
staff
on
an
incredibly
detailed
and
thoughtful
memo.
Thank
you
back
to
the
council.
B
And
council
discussion,
so
is
there
anything
else
all
right
so
on
to
the
next
item,
which
is
open
forum.
G
D
And
all
you
liberals
there
in
the
city
council,
the
rules
that
you
have
I
mean
I
don't
think
orange
county.
Is
this
bad
or
any
city
there?
You
guys
should
be
ashamed
of
yourselves
and
how
you
manage
this
city,
all
these
freebies,
that
you
want
to
give
away
taking
from
some
people
to
give
to
others.
It
just
reeks
of
of
socialism.
D
This
country,
this
country,
this
city,
this
county,
the
state
it's
going
to
turn
into
a
third
world
country.
If
you
continue
to
take,
take
take
from
people
who
have
barely
enough
to
live
already,
they
don't
want
to
be
part
of
this
welfare
system
that
you
guys
keep
perpetuating,
because
what
else
do
you
want
to?
Do
you
want
to
take
the
guns
away?
That's
coming
down
the
pipe!
I
can't
wait
to
see
how
that's
gonna,
how
that's
gonna
turn.
I
hope
that
this
city
gets
sued.
D
I
hope
it
totally
backfires
on
you
and
I
hope
that
san
jose
pd,
which
is
one
of
the
wimpiest
organizations
in
the
world,
says
no
to
you
guys
about
enforcing
these
illegal
gun
laws,
trying
to
take
guns
away.
It's
unbelievable
you're
on
the
wrong
side
of
everything.
Every
single
one
of
you,
people
should
resign
and
you
guys
are
disgusting
people.
You
don't
deserve
what
you
have.
You
make
a
hundred
and
fifty
thousand
dollars
a
year
to
tell
me
how
to
talk
in
a
city
council
meeting.
D
I
I
vote
no
on
every
single
one
of
you
and
every
single
one
of
your
stupid
ideas
that
comes
down
the
pike.
All
this
homeless,
housing,
it's
gonna.
What's
this
place,
gonna
look
like
in
20
years.
All
these
people
are
gonna
come
here
with
these
hopes
and
dreams
of
a
free
house
and
they're
gonna
get
nothing.
You're
gonna
have
more
tent
cities,
people
living
in
people
polluting
the
precious
water
that
we
have
already
you
wanna
drain
almaden
lake
where's,
the
water
gonna.
D
R
Hi
blair
beekman
again
thanks
for
an
interesting
meeting
today.
I
think
what
I'm
gonna
make
for
a
theme
for
this
week
is
the
idea
that,
with
our
policing
issues
and
and
problems,
we
have
right
now.
R
We've
had
commissions
and
study
sessions
going
on
that,
along
with
you,
know
the
openness
I
think
of
our
city
officials
and
staff,
I'm
interested
what
can
develop
from
our
current
police
problems
that
we
had
say
a
lot
of
victoria
a
few
weeks
ago
and
I'm
interested
in
how
we
can
start
to
better
address
the
future
of
and
run
issues
for
vision,
zero
things
I
think
if
we
dress
hit
and
run
as
a
more
open
community
process-
and
I
don't
know,
develop
ways
to
make
it
a
understandable
subject,
so
people
don't
have
to
fear
so
much
and
and
run
after
they
have
hit
someone.
R
I
think
that's
something
we
need
to
consider
and
work
on
as
a
city
and
as
a
vision,
zero
project,
so
good
luck
to
our
public
safety
and
community
health
ideas
that
we
can
work
on
at
this
time
together.
I
think
something's
available
that
we
can
really.
M
R
On
something
well
together
this
time,
good
luck,
how
we
can
do
that
with
my
remaining
time?
How
much
time
do
I
have
here?
Yeah?
I
guess
just
my
usual
that
as
you're
doing
this
work,
you
know
community
public
health
and
safety.
It
is
openness,
accountability.
R
I
think
it's
it's
it's
racial
equity
ideas
that
don't
have
to
be
confrontive
and
combative,
but
really
healing
and
bridging.
I
think
it's
these
sort
of
ideas
that
can
bridge
our
community
and
label
how
we
need
to
consider
our
future
and
work
towards
the
future
of
peace
and
sustainability.
R
P
But
I
just
want
to
everyone
to
read
this
because
I
think
what
is
missing
my
from
the
conversation
is
that
it's
very
traumatic
for
these
people
that
are
actually
obeying
the
laws
driving
the
speed
limit,
doing
what
they're
supposed
to
be
doing
and
they
do
hit
somebody.
And
so
I
want
to
thank
the
police
department
for
actually
outlining
and
saying
these
words
and
I'll
just
read
them.
It
says
whether
a
pedestrian
or
driver,
a
fatal
traffic
collision
is
a
traumatic,
emotional
and
life
altering
event,
impacting
the
families
and
friends
of
all
those
evolved.
P
So
whether
you're,
the
pedestrian
or
the
driver
in
the
driver
has
trauma
as
well.
So
there
are
some
drivers
that
are
breaking
the
law
and
speeding
and
we
have
to
deal
with
that,
but
there
are
many
drivers
out
there
that
are
finding
themselves
and
I
bring
this
up
specifically
because,
just
two
days
ago
I
was
driving
with
my
teenage
daughter.
She
was
driving
three
different
times
twice
on
the
freeway
and
once
on
residential
someone
just
ran
across
the
street
right
in
the
middle.
P
Thank
goodness
my
daughter
knows
the
importance
and
how
I
feel
about
this
subject
matter.
We
talk
about
it,
a
lot
that
no
one
was
hurt,
but
it
was
a
close
call
and
I
couldn't
believe
it.
We
went
home,
sat
on
the
couch
and
practically
cried.
So
please
we
need
to
solve
this
problem.
It's
not
just
drivers
back.
