Everyone
welcome
to
the
meeting
of
the
afternoon
of
march
22nd
2022.
tony.
I
know
we
have,
I
think
a
couple
folks
joined
remotely,
so
why
don't
we
go
to
roll.
D
C
All
right,
thank
you.
Today's
invitation
will
be
provided
by
father
john
pedego.
Is
he
on
remotely
council
member?
I
believe
he
should
be
yes,
oh
okay,
great
thank
you
for
joining
us,
father,
john
and
councilman
peralta.
Why
don't
you
take
it
away.
E
Thank
you
very
much
and
if
he
is
on,
if
we
can
promote
him
all
right
today,
I'd
like
to
welcome
father
john
pedego
to
do
our
invocation.
Father
john
pettigo
is
a
native
of
the
bay
area
and
has
been
recognized
as
a
leader
in
social
justice
causes
for
over
30
years.
E
He
did
his
theology
studies
at
st
patrick's
seminary
menlo
park
and
holds
a
lis,
listen
to
it.
If
I'm
saying
that
correctly
mayor
in
sacred
theology
from
the
jesuit
school
of
theology
berkeley,
he
is
also
a
2012
rockwood
fellow
for
immigrant
leaders
in
california
and
senior
fellow
for
the
american
leadership
forum.
E
Father
pedego
is
currently
the
director
and
advocacy
of
community
engagement
at
catholic
charities
of
santa
clara
county,
and
he
also
responded
to
a
call
at
a
very
late
notice,
as
we
had
a
challenge
for
today's
indicator.
So
I
want
to
say
thank
you
very
much,
father
john,
for
being
responsive
and
being
willing
to
help
us
today
and
share
prayer
with
us.
C
E
B
F
G
She
believes
sin
was
anything
that
destroys
the
original
harmony
of
creation
and
she
saw
that
harmony
of
god's
creation
was
manifested
in
radical
equity
among
all
humankind
that
all
persons,
regardless
of
race
and
gender,
were
fundamentally
equal,
which,
as
you
can
imagine
in
the
11th
century,
in
12th
century,
it
was
a
position
not
accepted
by
many
of
the
contemporaries,
nor
accepted
by
many
people.
Today,
sadly,
we
are
living
in
a
time
of
heightened
global
tensions,
a
widening
economic
divide,
an
accelerated
decline
in
claim
climate
stability
and
a
political
environment
poisoned
by
racist
populism.
G
It
is
no
wonder
that
we
forget
the
original
harmony
of
creation,
that
we
are
connected
to
one
another
to
our
planet,
the
cosmos
and,
ultimately
to
god,
when
we
forget
these
connections
or
break
them
because
it
meets
it,
doesn't
meet
our
convenience,
it
becomes
easier
to
ignore
voices
from
the
margin
or
dismiss
voices
from
those
who
disagree
with
us
to
help
us
recenter
ourselves.
I
offer
hildegard
hildegard's
prayer,
the
spirit
of
sancto.
G
C
Thank
you
and
thank
you,
father,
john
all,
right
we're
on
to
ceremonial
items.
I
think
councilmember.
D
C
Is
going
to
do
this
one
from
the
diocese
that
is
to
proclaim
march
25th
this
week,
independence
day,
because
we've
got
a
flag
rising
coming
up
and
we'll
do
a
more
formal
presentation,
then,
is
that
right,
councilmember.
H
Okay,
for
the
past
two
years,
we've
been
unable
to
celebrate
greek
independence
day
in
person.
Today
we
proclaim
march
25th
2022
greek
independence
day,
and
I
invite
everyone
to
our
greek
flag,
raising
ceremony
this
friday
at
san
jose
city
hall.
The
event
begins
promptly
at
four
o'clock.
For
those
who
do
not
know.
Last
year
was
the
200th
anniversary
of
greek
independence
day
from
the
ottoman
empire.
H
We
will
be
joined
by
several
distinguished
dignitaries
of
the
bay
area,
greek
community,
I'd
like
to
thank
the
vice
mayor
for
his
willingness
to
attend
the
ceremony
and
provide
the
proclamation
at
this
event.
I'd
also
like
to
add
that
we
pray
for
the
people
of
ukraine
and
that
they
are
able
to
preserve
their
independence
too.
C
It's
a
good
restaurant,
too
yeah
all
right,
councilmember,
perales,
we're
gonna,
proclaim
cerebral
palsy
awareness
month.
E
E
They
offer
adapted
sports,
which
include
power
soccer
focused
on
individuals
with
disabilities,
such
as
cerebral
palsy,
multiple
sclerosis
and
many
others.
They
also
offer
wheelchair
basketball,
which
is
an
inclusion,
wheelchair
sport
program
for
all
abilities
where
participants
learn
new
techniques,
skills
and
practice,
drills
and
compete
at
a
high
level
and
play
several
games.
E
I'd
like
to
thank
our
prns
therapeutics
program
staff
for
their
continued
dedication
and
support
of
our
community,
and
before
I
welcome
everybody
today,
I'm
going
to
give
a
a
special
recognition
to
where
you
see
up
on
the
screen.
I
believe
yes,
so
that
is
my
aunt
sharon
sachet,
my
mother's
older
sister
born
may
6th
in
born
with
cerebral
palsy,
and
she
has
lived
her
entire
life,
both
serving
a
career
working
for
the
u.s
geological
survey,
then
retiring
and
up
until
later
last
year,
where
she
got
injured
and
she's.
E
Now,
in
a
recovery
home,
she
was
living
independently
on
her
own
in
redwood
city,
where
she's
lived
her
her
entire
life.
E
So
I
have
grown
up
with
my
aunt
and
been
able
to
experience
what
it's
like
for
an
individual
living
with
cerebral
palsy
and,
more
importantly,
have
been
able
to
learn
about
how
challenging
her
life
was
growing
up
and
unfortunately-
and
it
is
a
bit
sensitive,
but
unfortunately,
when
she
was
born,
my
grandmother
was
given
the
advice
to
give
her
up,
because
they
said
that
she
would
remain
in
a
vegetative
state,
her
entire
life
and
would
basically
just
be
a
challenge
for
my
grandparents
to
raise
that
she
would
never
be
independent
and
and
ultimately
fortunately
my
grandmother
did
not
heed
that
advice
and
back
then
there
were
little
to
no
services
for
those
struggling
with
disabilities
much
different
than
what
we
see
today
with
a
proud
parks
and
recreation
therapeutic
services
department
that
we
have
here.
E
There
was
very
very
little
for
my
grandmother
to
to
be
able
to
offer
to
to
my
aunt,
but
through
all
of
the
effort
and
energy
again,
my
aunt
was
able
to
go
on
not
only
to
live.
A
very
successful
life
have
a
career
and
live
independently,
she's,
a
loving
aunt.
As
you
can
see.
This
was
the
christmas,
the
first
christmas
of
covid,
and
then
this
is
how
my
aunt
gets
around,
and
so
she
actually
has
her
license
through
the
dmv,
and
this
is
a
registered
vehicle.
E
And
if
you
lived
in
redwood
city,
you
know
who
this
woman
is.
Every
new
cop
in
redwood
city
would
pull
her
over
because
they're
wondering
how
is
this
person
driving
a
golf
cart
down
the
street,
but
she
was.
It
was
her
her
goal
to
get
her
license
and
be
independent
and
was
able
to
do
so
here
and
so
it's.
It
was
always
exciting
to
me
as
a
kid,
because
we'd
go
out
for
drives
with
her
in
the
golf
cart.
E
E
As
soon
as
I
saw
it,
I
said
we're
gonna,
we're
gonna,
we're
gonna,
give
some
honor
recognition,
and
so
it
comes
from
a
very
personal
place
for
me
as
well,
and
I'd
like
to
now
welcome
who
we
have
here
with
us
and
first
off
is
chris
varia
participant
coach,
rec
leader
friend
of
mine,
someone
that
I've
had
now
an
opportunity
to
be
able
to
to
engage
with
and
as
well
be
able
to
see
him
in
action,
leading
therapeutic
sports
and
recovery
for
for
our
community
here.
E
So
welcome,
chris
and
and
chris
will
be
providing
a
few
comments.
In
a
moment
we
have
ryan
conley,
one
of
our
participants
of
power
and
soccer,
and
I've
had
an
opportunity
to
be
able
to
play
actually
with
ryan
in
in
the
wheelchair
soccer.
It's
anybody
can
play,
you
can
sit
down.
The
wheelchair
and
I'll.
Tell
you
it's
very,
very
powerful
power
power
soccer
is
very,
very
challenging.
Ryan
is,
and
chris
are
both
pros
and
and
and
so
certainly
take
it
from
them.
E
John,
I
know
your
your
father
wasn't
able
to
make
it,
but
john
has
been
a
tremendous.
John
conley
has
been
a
tremendous
tremendous
volunteer
and
participant
here
in
our
programs,
and
it
wouldn't
be
possible
without
support
from
individuals
like
that.
So
thank
you
to
your
father's
one.
I
know
he's
watching.
E
We
have
lena
tran,
who
is
a

certified
therapeutic
recreational
specialist
from
prns
liz
bess,

along

to

palsy

chris
is
going
to
say
a
few
words.
B
G
Our

piece,
I
think
of
perseverance,
passion
and

The

G
C
All

center
and
games

saturday,

been
playing
sacramento,

and
berkeley

and,
most
importantly,
beat
la
right.
All
right.
We
beat
la
that's
important,
go
steamrollers.
C
I
I
I
Assyrians
are
one
of
the
oldest
civilizations
known
to
humankind,
spanning
nearly
seven
millennia
and
traced,
their
origins
to
the
cradle
of
civilization,
mesopotamia
that
naren
located
in
parts
of
present-day
iran,
iraq,
syria,
turkey
and
turkey.
Assyria
was
named
after
its
original
capital,
the
ancient
city
of
asur,
which
dates
to
circa
4750
bc.
I
The
assyrians
and
babylonians
of
the
mesopotamia
were
the
first
to
observe
the
changes
of
months
and
seasons
and
created
the
calendar
based
on
the
movement
of
the
sun
and
moon
and
celebrated
the
looney
solar
calendar
with
observance
of
spring
equinox
as
the
assyrian
new
year.
This
12-day
celebration
is
a
symbol
of
rebirth
of
life,
hope
and
order.
I
We
have
a
large
and
vibrant
population
that
observes
the
assyrian
new
year
on
the
spring
equinox,
which
was
on
march
20th,
and
today
we
are
proclaiming
march
20th
2022
as
a
syrian
new
year.
The
host
of
festivities
that
will
take
place
throughout
the
12
days
of
a
syrian
new
year
will
provide
an
opportunity
for
all
in
san
jose
to
experience
the
richness
of
a
syrian
culture
and
foster
an
appreciation
for
its
traditions.
I
Our
district
10
office
is
partnering
with
the
assyrian
community
to
host
a
flag
raising
ceremony
here
at
city
hall
on
saturday
april
1st,
and
would
love
to
invite
all
of
you
to

us.
This
year's

are

but
not
limited

J
A
Here
and
accepting
this
proclamation
with
my
brethren
from
the
assyrian
universal
alliance
secretary
general,
mr
carlo
ganja,
and
from
assyrian
evangelical

assyrian
american

mr
alphonse
odishu,
and
our
treasurer,
mrs
nenvakser
and
and
myself,
and
we
welcome
you.
We
hope
that
you
can
join
us
on
friday
april
1st
for
the
assyrian
flag,
raising
ceremony.
We
will,
we
will
have
some
celebration
and
hopefully
it
will
be
a
joyous
day.
A
A
You
did
fantastic
on
giving
all
the
information
about
the
new
year
and
there's
that
leaves
little
room
for
me
to
say
anything
other
than
it
was
interesting
in
the
prayer.
Today
there
was
a
talk
about
harmony
in
nature
and
assyria.
New
year's
celebration
is,
as
a
matter
of
fact,
as
a
doctrine
of
the
ancient
religion
of
the
assyrians,
harmony
in
nature.
It
had
a
very
important
role
in
it.
A
So
today,
with
all
the
chaos
that
is
happening
that
is
taking
place
in
the
world.
The
atrocities
committed
against
innocent
people
in
ukraine,
it's
devastating
everyone's
lives,
morale
and
and
and
and
thoughts,
and
our
thoughts
and
prayers
are,
will
all
the
people
of
ukraine
and,
at
the
same
time,
we
have
a
large
community
of
assyrian
ukrainians
that
are
affected
by
this.
So
while
we
are
celebrating
the
assyrian
new
year,
our
heart
goes
out
to
them.
They
are
in
our
thoughts.
They
are
in
our
prayers
as
as
a
community
small
community.
A
C
C
D
C
D
C
D
Stafford,
yes,
thank
you
today.
I
want
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
our
happy
hollow
park
and
zoo
picnic.
Picnic
basket
cafe,
as
you
know,
happy
hollow
is
an
accredited
zoo
as
part
of
the
association
of
zoos
and
aquariums
and
is
home
to
approximately
140
animals
representing
55
species,
with
nearly
a
half
million
visitors
per
year.
Its
mission
is
to
connect
people
to
nature
through
play.
D
The
picnic
basket,
happy
hollow
park
and
zoo's
quality.
Quick
surf
conservation-based
cafe
was
awarded
a
three-star
green
restaurant
certification
from
the
green
restaurant
association.
The
green
restaurant
association
is
a
non-profit
organization
that
measures
the
environmental
sustainability
of
restaurants
and
certifies
them
as
green.
D
D
This
green
restaurant
award
is
an
example
of
how
happy
hollow
park
and
zoo
continues
to
put
conservation
and
sustainability
at
the
heart
of
all
its
programs
and
operations.
I'd
like
to
recognize
the
picnic
basket
for
earning
this
meaningful
award
and
for
their
ongoing
commitment
to
environmental
sustainability.
D
C
C
F
Outset
we
don't
have
a
presentation
prepared
today
if
the
council
recalls
that
the
meeting
in
november
when
this
was
first
discussed,
I
gave
a
presentation
then
at
the
time
and
the
clerk
may
be
able
to
clarify
the
discussion.
The
council
discussed
the
item
and
then
deferred
it
for
90
days
we're
a
little
bit
past
it.
But
this
is
returning
for
council
further
council
discussion
and
I'm
available.
If
there's
any
questions.
C
Okay,
thank
you
mark
now.
I
know
there's
a
memorandum
for
my
colleagues:
should
we
go
to
public
comment?
First.
A
C
D
Okay,
so
samina
I'm
going
to
remove
your
permission,
to
talk,
put
your
hand
back
up
we'll
try
again,
we
did
hear
you
at
first
and
then
after
you
asked
the
question,
we
lost
your
your
audio.
G
J
G
B
Hi,
thank
you,
claire
beekman,
thanks
for
the
meeting
today,
hopefully
samina
usman
and
she
can
come
back
and
give
her
public
comment
for
this
item
for
myself.
You
know
I'm
a
bit
we're
in
a
difficult
time
and
you
you've
been
working
on
these
things
for
a
while
now
a
a
hearty
good
effort
to
yourselves
in
in
the
efforts
of
what
can
be
a
more
a
different
form
of
of
our
election
process
and
how
it
can
not
be
so
much
have
foreign
influences.
B
But
as
we
do
this
work,
I
hope
we
can
be
really
aware
of
the
importance
that
we
need
to
acknowledge
and
try
to
look
for
and
work
towards
these
same
sort
of
practices
abroad.
When
you
see
the
u.s
creating
these
sort
of
influences
and
elections
across
the
world,
what
is
our
reply?
What
do
we
say
at
that
time?
I
think
this
is
a
two-way
street.
This
is
a
this
is
a
learning
process
for
all
of
us
here
in
right
now,
and
we
have
to
make
those
efforts.
B
If
we're
going
to
limit
things
in
this
country,
we
have
to
look
what
we're
doing
abroad
and
ask
to
limit
that
too,
and
be
very
questionable
of
it.
Thanks
for
your
time
and
just
a
few
thoughts
on
how
to
better
consider
these
sort
of
items,
thank
you.
M
M
I
think
you've
seen
hopefully
from
the
hundreds
of
emails
that
have
come
from
the
community
letters
from
leading
experts
like
ellen
weintraub
of
the
federal
elections,
commission,
constitutional
lawyer,
lawrence
tribe,
others.
You
know
why
this
is
so
important,
but
I
think
just
looking
at
the
context
of
the
city
of
san
jose.
M
Where
not
only
do
these
companies,
you
know,
obviously
exert
a
lot
of
influence
in
our
politics
through
spending
hundreds
of
thousands
of
dollars,
but
have
significant
foreign
ownership.
In
fact,
many
of
these
companies
have
significant
ownership
by
sovereign
wealth
funds.
So
extensions
of
of
foreign
governments
that
hold
you
know
one
two
or
more
percentage
of
ownership
of
the
stock
of
some
of
these
companies,
and
so
it's
it's
hard
to
debate
that
our
current
campaign
finance
system
isn't
creating
a
loophole.
A
Hi
good
afternoon,
my
name
is
brian
poors
and
I'm
a
local
union
393
plumber
by
trade
and
was
born
and
raised
here
in
san
jose,
I'm
here
in
support
of
the
memo
from
council
members,
cohen,
arenas,
foley
and
jimenez.
A
You
know,
for
example,
corruption
and
local
in
local
election
contributions
and
stopping
foreign
corporate
campaign
spending
are
both
major
issues.
We
must
be
sure
that
our
local
voices
are
heard
and
be
sure
that
our
local
elections
are
decided
by
the
communities
who
are
going
to
live
with
those
results
not
allow
the
foreign
corporate
power
to
influence
our
elections
more
than
our
than
our
own
local
san
jose
constituents.
A
D
N
Thank
you
mayor
vice
mayor
and
council
members,
I'm
the
legal
director
of
free
speech
for
people,
our
national
nonpartisan
nonprofit
organization
and
we've
helped
develop
legislation
to
limit
corporate
political
spending
by
foreign
influence
corporations
around
the
country.
We
helped
develop
a
law
passed
by
the
city
of
seattle,
washington
in
2020,
a
bill
that
passed
the
new
york
state
senate
earlier
this
year
and
legislation
that's
been
introduced
into
the
u.s
house
of
representatives
and
into
several
state
legislatures,
including
as
mentioned
earlier
california.
N
N
I
also
attached
a
written
testimony
that
was
prepared
by
a
professor
john
coats
at
harvard
law:
school
who's,
a
former
general
counsel
of
the
u.s
securities
and
exchange
commission
he's
a
leading
national
expert
on
corporate
law
and
governance,
and
he
submitted
that
testimony
in
support
of
the
seattle
legislation,
to
which
this
would
be
very
similar.
I'm
also
authorized
to
convey
that
professor
adam
winkler,
at
ucla
law
school,
endorses
this
type
of
policy.
N
I
would
be
happy
to
answer
any
questions
about
the
mechanics
or
implementation
or
constitutionality,
or
anything
else
afterwards,
but
in
the
meantime
I
just
want
to
express
our
full-hearted
endorsement
of
this
policy
and
and
thank
you
for
moving
it
forward.
A
Hi
good
afternoon
my
name
is
aracely
rueda.
I'm
calling
on
behalf
of
sciu
usw,
I'm
a
political
organizer,
and
I
am
calling
to
express
my
support
for
the
memo
from
council
members,
cohen,
arenas,
foley
and
jimenez,
which
gives
direction
to
limiting
campaign
contributions
from
foreign
influence
corporations.
An
excellent
model
of
this
initiative
exists
in
seattle,
washington,
in
2020.
A
The
clean
campaigns
act
was
signed
into
law
to
curb
corruption
in
election
contributions,
the
seattle
ordinance
cities,
the
sec
threshold
and
corporate
governance
experts
define
a
foreign
influence
corporation
as
having
a
single
foreign
owner
holding
one
percent
or
more
of
shares
or
more
of
shares
or
multiple
foreign
owners
holding
a
cumulative
five
percent
or
more.
These
percentages
indicate
threshold
for
corporate
influence
and
decision
making.
Thank
you.
A
Yes,
I'm
back
again
I
apologize
about
before
so
again.
My
name
is
seminospan.
I'm
the
senior
government
relations
coordinator
for
the
council
on
american
islamic
relations,
and
I
wanted
to
speak
in
strong
support
of
this
item.
I'm
really
happy
to
see
that
this
has
come
up
also
on
the
local
level.
We've
been
supportive
of
this
item
that
has
been
introduced
by
assemblymember
alex
lee.
That
is
ab1819,
and
you
know.
A
We
also
hope
that
this
will
get
passed
federally,
as
people
have
mentioned
before
this
has
been
passed
in
local
jurisdictions,
because
we
recognize
the
influence
of
foreign
entities
on
even
local
politics
as
well.
You
know
we
saw
this
in
like
a
in
a
massive
way
on
the
statewide
ballot
initiative,
prop
22,
where
you
have
entities
like
uber,
who
has
significant
ownership
by
you,
know,
foreign
entities
and
and
how
that
negatively
impacted
millions
of
californians.
Today,
let's
not
make
the
same
mistake
with
this
with
the
city
of
san
jose.
A
Let's
make
sure
that
our
voters
that
our
vote
is
remains
powerful
and
that
we
don't
have
foreign
entities
influencing
the
the
power
of
our
local
bodies.
So
we
urge
you
to
pass
this
this.
K
Today
and
not
representing
any
group,
first
of
all,
I
want
to
say
happy
narus
to
the
many
cultures
within
san
jose
that
celebrate
this
time
of
the
of
year
as
a
new
beginning,
and
it
seems
appropriate
to
look
at
a
new
campaign
finance
ordinance
at
this
time
of
year.
A
K
A
Sure,
good
afternoon,
mayor
and
council
members,
my
name
is
andrea
pena,
I'm
from
silicon
valley
rising
in
san
jose.
I'm
calling
to
express
my
support
for
the
memo
from
council
members,
cohen,
arenas,
foley
and
jimenez,
which
recommends
that
council
move
forward
with
writing
an
ordinance
to
ban
foreign
influence
corporations
from
contributing
to
campaigns
as
well
as
independent
expenditures.
A
As
we
all
know,
the
supreme
court's
2010
ruling
in
citizens
united
created
this
massive
loophole
for
us
corporations
with
foreign
influence
to
donate,
with
virtually
no
limits.
So
san
jose
should
really
consider
joining
local
jurisdictions
like
seattle
that
have
taken
the
initiative
to
prevent
foreign
investments
in
local
races.
A
We
really
need
to
ensure
that
local
elections
are
decided
by
the
communities
that
will
feel
the
implications
of
decisions
by
their
elected
representatives.
So
again
I
urge
city
council
to
approve
the
memo
by
council
members,
cohen,
adenos,
foley
and
jimenez,
and
that
they
prioritize
the
process
to
draft
an
ordinance
addressing
foreign
influence
in
our
local
elections.
Thank
you
for
your
time.
G
I
wish
we
could
put
this
on
a
national
level.
I
wish
this
would
be
a
start
of
something
there's
just
too
much
money
and
money
is
the
only
thing
that
matters.
That
is
definitely
a
fact.
I
hate
to
say
this
and
I
used
to
used
to
believe
different,
but.
G
G
And-
and
it
shouldn't
be
that
way,
and
I
think
we
all
know
that
our
leadership
at
washington
absolutely
will
not
change
this
period,
that's
not
going
to
happen,
and
the
supreme
court
gave
corporation
souls
which
is
an
indignity
and
an
and
truly
an
insult
to
the
human
to
human
beings.
It
truly
is
an
insult
all
those
people
on
the
supreme
court
that
voted
for
that
should
resign
or
be
impeached.
M
And
I
have
read
the
decision
there.
It
was
a
terrible
decision,
so
I
thank
the
council
people
for
putting
this
forward.
G
K
Good
afternoon
my
name.
E
A
K
K
But
what
I
want
to
briefly
mention
is
that
it
I
am
of
the
opinion
and
have
come
to
believe
that
even
if
we'd
have
all
of
these
wonderful
campaign,
finance
regulations
and
reforms
in
our
country
where
private
property
is
enshrined
in
our
constitution
as
being
a
right
that
is
superfeeds
many
other
rights,
I
would
argue
that
it's
really
who
owns
the
land.
That
is
the
most
influential,
in
my
opinion
that
I
have
seen
here
in
san
jose
and
so
who
owns
the
land
in
our
city
there.
K
In
my
opinion,
we've
not
done
our
due
diligence
to
protect
the
people
that
live
within
this
city
who
work
here
who
live
here?
Who
volunteer
here
who
raise
their
children
here?
When
are
we
going
to
start
paying
attention
to
the
foreign
influence
that
is
sort
of
degrading?
You
know
the
lives
of
those
who
actually
live
within
the
city
limits.
Thank
you.
M
Thank
you,
city,
council
and
mayor
for
giving
me
an
opportunity
to
to
speak.
My
name
is
forrest
peterson,
I'm
speaking
here
as
a
rank
and
file
member
of
sciu.
M
The
the
topic
of
foreign
monies
in
the
the
political
system
is,
is
something
that,
from
my
background
and
heavy
construction,
I've
seen
one
of
the
the
classic
examples.
That's
that's
used
in
the
classroom
is
one
of
the
large
multinational
corporations
was
in
south
america
and
they
did
an
infrastructure
of
water
distribution
and
when
they
were
done,
they
had
made
it
illegal
to
catch
rainwater.
M
It's
it
wasn't
a
wealthy
nation,
but
you
can
imagine,
rainwater
is
free,
you
you
put
a
bucket
outside
and
it
rains
and
you
have
water
that
was
that
was
illegal,
so
this
multinational
corporation
had
influenced
the
local,
the
local
political
system,
to
pass
this
law
that
made
it
illegal
for
the
citizens
of
that
that
region
to
catch
rain
water,
so
that
the
corporation
could
maximize
their
profits.
M
Now
I
don't
think
the
paul.
The
public
policy
makers
of
this
region
would
fall
for
something
like
that
and
and
make
it
illegal
for
me
to
catch
rain
water.
But
there
are
sophisticated
multinational
corporations
and
I
can
only
imagine
the
type
of
influence
that
could
be
exerted
with
the
the
the
money
in
silicon
valley.
So
I,
as
a
rank-and-file
member
of
a
labor
union
that
that
supports
you,
know
democracy
and
living
wages
and
and
high
road
occupations.
M
B
Hello,
my
name
is
hector
moreno
years,
lifelong
rather
than
san
jose
for
52
years,
also,
a
business
agent
for
ufcw
local
five.
I'm
calling
to
express
my
support
for
the
memo
from
council
members,
cohen,
arenas,
foley
and
jimenez,
which
proposed
poses
a
number
of
important
campaign,
finance
reforms,
addressing
conflicts
of
interest,
public
financing
of
campaigns
and
mostly
giving
direction
on
limiting
campaign
contributions
from
foreign
influence
corporation.
G
Hey
good
afternoon,
council
members
and
mayor
licardo,
alex
here
speaking
today,
personally,
not
on
behalf
of
any
commission,
which
I
said
or
organization
which
I
represent
just
want
to
thank
the
council.
So
much
for
taking
up
these
measures.
Public
trust
and
our
electoral
system
is
so
important,
and
it's
really
great
to
see
these.
G
I
was
particularly
excited
to
see
in
the
supplemental
memorandum
as
part
of
the
packet
discussion
of
redesigning
and
maintaining
the
website,
making
the
information
and
data
more
transparent
and
easier
to
navigate
another
excellent
measure
that
you
all
are
looking
at
in
terms
of
making
folks
in
our
community
and
residents
of
our
city,
more
confident
in
their
government
and
in
the
electoral
process.
So
thank
you
so
much
for
taking
up
these
measures.
O
Hi
there.
Thank
you,
mr
mayor
vice
mayor
and
council
members.
My
name
is
michael
sozan.
I
am
a
senior
fellow
at
the
center
for
american
progress,
which
is
a
think
tank,
non-partisan,
think
tank
based
in
washington
dc.
My
democracy
reform
work
at
cap
has
involved
deep
research
in
the
area
of
preventing
political
spending
by
foreign
influenced
u.s
corporations.
O
I'm
here
to
speak
in
support
of
the
council
members
memorandum.
I
also
submitted
testimony
in
this
proceeding
and
I'm
happy
to
answer
any
questions
as
well.
After
reviewing
the
memorandum,
I
conclude
that
the
recommended
ordinance
would
provide
an
important
tool
to
protect
san
jose's
elections
and
ballot
initiatives
from
foreign
influence
and
to
reduce
the
outsized
role.
The
corporate
money
can
play
in
the
results
of
elections
and
ballot
initiatives.
O
O
Q
Yes,
thank
you
mayor.
I
have
a
couple
questions
that
are
not
specifically
related
to
this
memo,
but
but
just
about
the
previous
items.
So
we
had.
We
had
multiple
items
and
on
this
on
the
accounts
on
the
agenda,
the
others
are
still
listed
there
about
public
financing
and
other
things.
These
are
coming
back
at
a
future
meeting.
Is
that
what's
happening
in
the
public
financing
discussion.
F
Well,
I
think
the
the
purpose
of
this
meeting
was
to
get
some
direction
and
I
believe
there
was
a
motion
on
the
table
and
then
the
item
was
deferred
for
30
days.
I'd
have
to
defer
to
the
clerk
as
to
what,
where
we
left
off
in
november.
D
Okay,
we
were
coming
back
to
see
what
we
could
do
with
the
current
staffing
and
current
software,
and
I
can
tell
you
like
the
software
issue.
We
don't
have
anything
to
automatic
some
of
the
some
of
the
items
involved
uploading
to
the
website.
I
checked
with
the
city
manager's
office
web
team
that
we
could.
We
don't
have
the
ability
to
have
candidates
and
organizations
upload
their
materials
directly
to
the
website.
It
does
require
people
in
our
staff
to
to
upload
them.
Q
So
this
that
was
on
the
disclosure
piece
of
it,
there
was
a
disclosure
piece.
There
was
a
expanded
window
for
campaign,
fundraising
right
before
early
earlier
date.
Later
finish,
I
think
was
one
of
the
things
we
passed.
That,
though,
at
the
time
right
is
that
one
is
that
one
being
implemented
for
next
cycle
of
elections.
F
Q
But
we
gave
direction
to
come
back.
Is
that
what
happened?
Yes?
Okay
and
the
direction
was
to
bring
back
all
of
these
items
and.
Q
We
were
needed
to
have
some
input
I
think,
to
to
be
able
to
do
that
on
some
of
them
and
that
okay,
so
I
guess
I
guess
I'm
not
sure
we
have
the
information
we
need
on
some
of
them
to
actually
take
action,
and
I
think
one
of
the
things
we
actually
asked
about
at
the
last
meeting
was
the
direction
was
on
the
campaign
on
the
public
financing
piece
was
that
there
would
be
a
looking
at
various
models
and
a
recommendation
from
staff
about
what
model
might
be
applicable,
most
applicable
in
our
city,
to
try-
and
I
don't
see
that
anywhere
is.
C
C
Q
Q
Okay,
so
so
I'm
not
sure
I
I
it's
f
on
the
items
other
than
the
one
that
in
which
we
have
the
new
memo,
which
was
the
foreign
influence
which
I
knew
had
been
deferred.
Specifically,
so
we
wrote,
we
wrote
that
one,
it's
not
clear
that
we
yet
have
the
information
we
need
to
do
the
next
step
of
the
rest
of
them,
but
I
not
prepared
for
this
to
be
the
last
discussion
on
those
items
I
mean
I
guess
I
wanted
to.
C
Q
Q
I
will
address
specifically
the
memo
that
we
were,
that
all
the
commenters
called
in
about
which
is
the
memo
on
foreign
influence
of
campaign
spending,
and
I
want
to
thank
all
the
people
who
called
in
and
talked
about
it,
and
we
heard
from
a
couple
of
national
leaders
on
this
issue
as
well,
who
are
part
of
some
very
respect
groups
that
I
respect
a
lot
that
that
are
are
working
hard,
and
I
want
to
thank
them
for
being
here
and
they're
they've
made
themselves
available
in
case
some
questions
come
up
as
well
on
some
of
these
on
some
of
these
issues,
but
I
do
want
to
just
talk
about
a
couple
things.
Q
You
know
this.
I
think
people
you
know
we
haven't
people,
don't
hear
about
this
a
lot,
but
it's
not
a
new
idea.
It's
it's
being
discussed
in
states
like
new
york,
massachusetts,
maine,
minnesota,
maryland
right
now,
there's
even
a
bill
been
introduced
just
recently
in
california.
It's
it's
been
implemented.
In
other
cities,
we're
modeling
this
one
on
one,
that's
in
seattle,
so
this
is,
you
know.
Q
This
is
not
something
that
we've
just
sort
of
come
up
with
here
in
san
jose,
and
I
know
one
of
the
big
questions
has
been
why
what
are
the
numbers
where
the
numbers,
one
percent
and
five
percent
come
from?
So
I
want
to
just
address
that
a
little
bit
and
the
numbers
are
not
arbitrary.
Q
Q
Q
One
percent
would
be
for
a
single,
a
single
shareholder
would
have
to
own
that
much
of
a
company
in
order
for
it
to
be
considered
foreign
influence.
So
I
just
wanted
to
address
that
because
I
think
people
hear
the
number
one
percent
and
think
we're
talking
about.
You
know
individual
people
around
the
world
who
might
own
some
stock
and
company,
and
that's
not
what
we're
talking
about.
Q
So
I
guess
I'll
just
make
the
motion,
and
then
you
know
let
people
have
questions
we
can
try
to
address
them.
First,
I'm
going
to
move
the
memo
from
that
was
councilmember,
jimenez
arenas,
foley
and
myself
I
recall
correctly,
and
then
I
guess
I
want
to
make
a
motion
on
the
other
items,
including
the
motion,
the
other
items
that
we
wanted
to
bring
back
for
further
discussion
and
I'm.
Q
This
is
from
memory,
because
I
don't
have
in
front
of
me
that
all
the
actions
from
last
time
to
bring
back
to
counsel
the
wider,
a
proposal
for
the
wider
dates
that
we
agreed
on
for
fundraising,
an
analysis
of
the
disclosure
improvements
that
you
know
from
staff
about
what
it
would
take
to
to
improve
our
disclosure
of
donors
and
change
the
and
there
were
some
changes
of
what
was
written,
three
top
donors
being
listed
on
on
campaign,
independent
expenditure,
materials
and
then
an
analysis
of
further
analysis
of
which
model
of
campaign
finance
might
be
one
that
we
could
pilot
and
how
we
could
pilot
it
going
in
the
city
for
future
elections.
C
D
Yes,
I
have
direct
staff
to
return
to
council
with
the
draft
ordinance
requiring
corporation
certified.
They
are
not
for
influence,
so
the
memo
that
was
released
on
march
18th
and
then
I
have
basically
item
two
from
the
jimenez
memos
that
was
submitted
in
november,
which
is
return
to
council
with
the
model
for
public
public
campaign
financing
program
administered
by
the
board
of
the
bfcpp.
D
It
includes
consider
the
reimbursement
model
used
in
oakland
san
francisco,
los
angeles,
receive
a
certain
number
of
small
donations
from
san
jose
residents
or
require
eligible
candidates
receive
a
certain
number
of
small
donations
from
san
jose
residents.
So
this
that
is
all
item
two
from
the
original
jimenez
memo.
Q
D
I
didn't
read
it
all.
I
could
keep
going
okay
agreed
to
accept
no
loans
from
third
parties
agree
to
loan
or
donate
more,
no
more
than
5
000
of
their
own
funds
to
their
campaign,
be
opposed
in
their
race
by
candidate
who's,
met
the
criteria
for
public
financing.
I
can
also
share
the
screen.
That's
probably
that.
C
C
Doing
what
so
councilmember
cohen?
Do
you
want
to
weigh
in
on
this,
and
perhaps
this
is
a
iterative?
I.
Q
Mean
this
looks
similar
to
what
was
in
the
november
memo
that
we
had
submitted.
But
I
do
I
mean-
and
maybe
I'm
remembering
wrong
because
it
was
months
ago
but
yeah.
I
seem
to
remember
that
number
three.
We
had
a
discussion.
I
remember
even
input
from
councilmember
davis
saying
what
about
making
the
date
earlier
for
starting
fundraising
and
we
kind
of
agreed
as
a
group,
and
there
were
things
in
there
that
I
thought
that
we
had
changed
of
this,
but
I
maybe
because
we
didn't
approve
it.
We.
D
Q
I
guess
just
to
clarify
my
motion,
then,
to
bring
back
these
items
for
further
discussion
and
action
that
were
from
the
previous
memo
in
november
and
but
and
and
including
that
the
kind
of
thing,
maybe
the
foreign,
maybe
the
foreign
influence
part
is.
You
know
we
can
take
action
now,
so
we
don't
have
to
bring
it
back
a
second
time
and
then
the
rest
of
it
has
to
come
back
since
we
don't
have
didn't.
Have
the
specific
any
specific
recommendations
to
look
at
today
on
those
other
items,
okay,.
D
C
D
Also
promoted
jimenez's
request,
I
promoted
michael
and
ron,
and
so
they
are
on
the
panelist.
If
you
have
questions
regarding,
I
think
it's
the
foreign
influence
stuff.
G
Thank
you
mayor.
I
think
this
question
is
for
the
city
attorney
the
from
the
city
attorney's
memo
the
risk
of
actual
or
perceived
quid
pro
quo.
Corruption
must
also
be
more
than
mere
conjecture
and
supported
by
some
factual
basis,
like
a
recent
scandal
or
history
of
corruption,
to
justify
the
need
for
limits
on
campaign
contributions.
F
Sure,
I
don't
believe
a
full
analysis
has
been
done,
but
I
I've
done
a
cursory
look
and
there
are
companies
who
would
fit
within
those
criteria
that
have
contributed
to
candidates
and
so
would
be
covered
if
an
ordinance
were
passed.
Limiting
foreign
influence.
F
F
We
have
campaign
contribution
limits
generally,
which
courts
allow,
and
one
of
the
reasons
for
it
is
to
prevent
the
appearance
of
corruption,
but
in
terms
of
evaluating
what
the
court
is
looking
for
is
more
than
just
mere
conjectures
saying
that
this
is
to
fight
conruption.
There
has
to
be
some
sort
of
perceived
corruption
to
justify
the
limit.
F
Well,
the
foreign
influence
limiting
foreign
influence
isn't
necessarily
tied
to
campaign
contributions.
That's
related
to
another
theory
that
the
court
under
the
blooming
case
that
would
allow
the
government
to
limit
foreign
actors,
foreign
nationals
etc
from
participating
in
in
campaigns.
So
it's
under
a
different
theory,
so
under
the
theory
that
the
government
can
promote
self-government
and
limit
foreign
influence
for
foreign
actors
in
elections,.
G
Okay-
and
can
you
talk
to
me
about-
I
heard
council
member
cohen's
discussion
about
the
amounts
of
money
that
would
be
needed
for
a
fortune
500
company
to
own
one
percent,
but
do
I
understand
correctly
that
corporations
can
be
of
any
size
in
this?
The
way
that
it's
being
looked
at
right
now?
F
Corporations
can
be
of
any
size.
You
know
it
could
be
as
small
as
a
mom
and
pop
shop
would
be
a
corporation
and
as
large
as
multinational
corporations
like
google
apple
amazon,
but
one
percent
of
a
company,
like
apple
for
example,
would
be
quite
significant,
whereas
one
percent
of
a
small
corporation
would
be
would
be
very
small.
G
So
we're
not
talking
about
necessarily
about
large,
very,
very
rich
individuals
who
might
make
up
this.
One
percent.
G
Yeah,
okay,
thank
you
and
my
other
question
is:
why
are
we
limiting
this
only
to
corporations
if
we're
consider,
if
we're
concerned
about
foreign
influence,
do
we
have
you
know
many
of
the
the
unions
who
spoke
have
have
many
members.
Do
we
know
if
they
have
members
who
are
not
citizens
of
the
united
states
as
well.
F
I'm
not
familiar,
I
mean
labor
organizations
represent
many
people,
I'm
sure
they
represent
individuals
who
are
not
citizens.
However,
they're
not
people,
people
don't
necessarily
own
a
union,
whereas
they
own
a
corporation
and
and
corporations
and
other
business
entities.
There's
duties
of
fiduciary,
their
fiduciary
duties
to
their
shareholders,
and
things
like
that.
So
the
law
focuses
on
business
entities
because
of
the
duties
that
these
companies
or
excuse
me,
these
companies
own
to
their
shareholders.
Q
Q
Just
answer
that
question
about
foreign
born
people
who
live
in
the
u.s
they're
legally
allowed
to
donate
as
green
card
holders
if
they're
a
green
card,
holder,
they're
legal
residents-
and
so
this
is
this-
isn't
about
non-citizens?
It's
about
foreign
people
who
reside
in
foreign
locations,
and
maybe
it's
not
totally
clear
in
the
language
in
the
memo,
but
in
our
in
our.
I
think
it's
in
the
description
underneath
but
yeah.
C
F
G
G
G
Apparently,
the
council
was
welcome
to
move
forward
with
non-citizens
voting
in
our
local
elections.
I
dissented
on
that
vote,
so
I'm
I'm,
I
feel
like
we're
talking
out
of
both
sides
of
our
mouth,
honestly
and
and
the
concern
the
other
concern
I
have
about
this
is
that
is
the
supplemental
memo
and
the
amount
of
money
we're
talking
about
578
000,
ongoing
cost.
G
You
know
we
have
real
issues
like
homelessness,
trash
on
their
streets,
lack
of
enough
police
officers,
especially
in
traffic
enforcement,
as
many
know
that
I
have
a
real
problem
with.
I
just
think
we
should
not
be
passing
questionable
and
questionably
constitutional
issues,
like
frankly,
the
gun,
ordinance
or-
or
this
proposed
action-
I'm
really
very
concerned
about
that,
and
over
half
a
million
dollars.
We
could
get
four
police
officers
ongoing
additional
in
our
city
rather
than
go
in
search
of
a
solution.
G
That's
looking
for
a
problem
that
we
have
readily
admitted
today
that
we
don't
have
so
I'm
very
concerned
about
this,
and-
and
I'm
also
concerned
that
honestly
we're
talking
about
we're
talking
out
of
both
sides
of
our
mouths.
We
don't
want
foreign
influence,
but
we're
okay
with
foreign
influence
in
some
ways,
so
I
I
would
be
happy
if
this
motion
included
no
foreign
influence,
no
non-citizens
voting
in
local
elections
if
it
included
no
unions
that
have
the
same
numbers
that
we're
talking
about
for
corporations.
G
C
All
right,
let's
go
back
to
councilman
foley
and
then
we'll
come
to
councilmember
jimenez.
H
Thank
you.
I
actually,
I
have
a
question
for
you
mark
regarding
the
difference
between
it
for
corporations.
There
are
publicly
traded
corporations
and
there's
privately
held
corporations.
H
F
Well,
I
think
that's
a
decision
for
the
council,
so
our
memorandum
did
have
an
error
where
we
were
when
we
were
looking
at
the
seattle
ordinance
where
we
said
it
only
applied
to
corporations.
But
the
way
seattle
uses
the
term
corporation
to
mean
any
business
entity,
so
it
broadly
covers
llc's
closely
held
corporations
privately
held
corporations,
partnerships
et
cetera.
F
You
know
the
council
could
limit
it
to
just
corporations
that
are
publicly
held
publicly
traded.
It
does
raise
issues
about.
Why
are
you
choosing
one
corporate
forum
or
one
business
identity
as
opposed
to
others?
If
your
concern
is
about
foreign
influence,
foreign
influence
can
occur
in
many
different
types
of
business
entities,
but
certainly
that
the
council
provided
direction
and
we
could
explore
that
and
come
back
with
an
ordinance.
That's
more
limited.
H
H
F
F
Is
it
is
it
incorporated,
and
so
that
that's
how
I
would
view
it?
If
the
council
were
to
say,
follow
seattle's
model,
then
they
use
the
term
corporation,
but
to
find
it
broader.
If
you
look
at
their
code,
it
says
corporation
means,
and
then
it
goes
on
to
define
it
further.
So
that
was
a
confusion
even
on
my
part
as
well.
I
would
use
the
term
business
entities
something
more
broad
than
that.
H
Okay,
so
the
way
just
just
to
restate
what
you've
said
mark
is
you're,
looking
at
this
as
addressing
corporate
limiting
corporate
contributions
and
not
greater
business
identities,
not
the
seattle
model.
We
have
not
given
you
the
seattle
model
in
this
ordinance
in
this
instruction.
Is
that
what
you're
saying
that's.
H
Okay,
all
right
and-
and
I
would
agree
with
that-
I
would
be
actually
concerned
about
expanding
it
to
an
llc,
llp
general
partnership,
any
anything
else,
because
those
are
small
businesses,
those
are
mon
po
or
they
can
be
mon
paw
businesses
as
a
small
as
a
corporation
can
be
too,
and
one
percent
is
a
an
easy
number
to
reach
for
small
mon
paw
corporations
or
llc's.
But
I
I
appreciate
the
direction
it's
going
with
the
corporations
in
general
and
not
the
other
more
expanded
universe.
C
P
P
N
N
And-
and
I
hope
that
mike
suzanne
will
speak
after
me,
because
he
also
has
an
in-depth
knowledge
of
how
this
works.
You
know
concern
about.
N
Sorry,
I
I
I
testified
earlier
and
I
neglected
to
reintroduce
myself
just
now
again.
My
name
is
ron.
Fine,
I'm
the
legal
director
of
free
speech
for
people
we're
a
national
non-profit,
nonpartisan
organization.
N
Some
in-depth
study,
one
concern
about
restricting
it
to
particular,
for
example,
just
publicly
traded
corporations
or
only
corporations
as
compared
to
say
llc's,
is
that
there
are
a
lot
of
opportunities
for
evasion,
and
what
we
tend
to
see
is
that
use
of
an
alternative
form
of
business
entity
as
a
means
of
circumventing
a
narrowly
written
rule.
It
could
provide
a
means
to
get
around
it
and
and
that's
why,
in
the
seattle
legislation
we
yes
use
the
term
corporation
but
then
defined
it
to
include
a
whole
bunch
of
related
types
of
entities.
N
So
that
would
be
an
argument
in
favor
of
not
defining
it
so
narrowly
as
to
miss
the
forms
through
which,
in
some
recent
cases
actually,
for
example,
russian
oligarchs
and
others
have
have
invested
in
entities
that
have
in
fact
been
politically
active
and-
and
I
hope
you'd
extend
the
opportunity
for
michael
sozen
to
address
that
question
as
well.
O
You
thank
you
all
again.
I'm
michael
sosan,
I'm
a
senior
fellow
with
the
center
for
american
progress,
which
is
a
non-partisan
think
tank
based
in
washington
d.c.
We
do
a
lot
of
work
on
democracy,
reforms
and
one
of
the
areas
that
I've
done.
A
fair
amount
of
work
in
is
is
this
is
on
this
issue
of
political
spending
by
foreign
influenced
u.s
corporations.
O
I
would
I
would
recommend
similar
to
to
mr
fine
I'd,
recommend
that
all
for-profit
businesses-
you
know
in
whatever
form,
be
included
in
this
in
this
ordinance.
That's
really
what
actually
most
of
the
legislation
around
the
country.
That's
pending,
whether
it's
at
the
state
level
and
the
federal
level
does
do.
I
want
to
start
by
noting
that
the
vast
majority
of
corporate
entities
business
entities
in
the
usa
are
are
privately
held
and
likely
have
they
have
no
foreign
ownership
involved.
O
One
of
the
council
members.
I
was
talking
about
mon
paw,
mom
and
pop
businesses.
It's
exceedingly
unlikely
that
any
american
mom-and-pop
businesses
have
have
any
foreign
owners
as
as
part
of
that
business.
So
the
the
99
point-
something
percent
of
of
corporate
forms
of
business
forms
in
san
jose
in
the
country
would
not
be
affected
by
this
and
those
you
know
the
owners
of
those
business
entities
would
know
immediately
whether
they
had
any
any
foreign
investors
and
the
answer
there
is
almost
certainly
going
to
be.
No.
O
This
will
largely
apply
to
the
biggest
the
very
largest
corporations
that
are
based
in
the
u.s,
the
biggest
multinationals,
which
also
happen
to
be
the
biggest
spenders
in
elections,
but
I
will
note
that
some
smaller
privately
held
companies
in
the
u.s
have
some
foreign
investors
that
and
have
gotten
caught
trying
to
indeed
influence
the
political
process.
There
was
a
case
just
a
few
years
ago,
based
out
of
california.
O
Actually,
the
federal
election
commission
decided
it
where
there
was
a
foreign
national
who
had
set
up
a
subsidiary
of
his
foreign
company
in
the
u.s
and
then
directed
all
sorts
of
spending
in
to
go
on
through
that
subsidiary.
O
There
were
no,
you
know
that
was
a
small
entity,
definitely
not
publicly
held,
but
those
sorts
of
things
do
happen.
So
that's
why
I
would
go
back
to
my
earlier
point
where
I
I
would
recommend,
if
possible,
that
this
that
this
legislation
would
apply
to
all
for-profit
business
forms,
but
again,
noting
that
the
vast
majority
of
them
are
not
going
to
be
are
not
going
to
have
foreign
owners
in
them.
O
I
will
I
will
also
say
I
will
note,
reaffirmed
the
earlier
point
about
how
a
one
percent
shareholder
at
a
at
a
publicly
traded
company
is
an
enormous,
enormously
wealthy
person
on
average
over
800
million
dollars
worth
of
stock.
I
will
also
say
that,
in
terms
of
the
constitutional
arguments
that
were
brought
up
early
earlier,
it
is
exactly
right
that
this
sort
of
ordinance
that
you
all
are
considering
falls
under
the
the
rubric
of
foreigners
not
having
any
constitutional
right
to
be
able
to
spend
in
our
elections.
O
That's
been
made
clear
in
a
federal
case
called
blumen
that
that
case
was
issued
after
citizens
united.
It
was
recently
reaffirmed
by
the
supreme
court
in
a
in
a
an
opinion
by
brett
kavanaugh
that
said
that
foreigners
located
abroad
don't
have
constitutional
rights,
as
especially
first
amendment
rights
and
in
our
life.
So
I
just
wanted
to
say
that
as
well.
Thank.
O
P
So
much
thank
you
so
much
for
for
for
enlightening
us
with
all
that
information.
A
lot
of
a
lot
of
things
you
touched
on-
and
I
know
you
mentioned
out
of
here
in
california-
I
think
it
was
2017
in
which
a
mexican
businessman,
I
think,
was
prosecuted
for
donating.
P
I
think
it
was
over
half
a
million
dollars
to
local
candidates
in
san
diego
through
a
ua
space
shuttle
corporation,
and
so
this
is
in
fact
happening
and
I'm
not
interested
in
waiting
to
see
this
happen
until
we
take
action
and
put
something
in
place,
and
so
thank
you
for
all
that
I
did
have
a
question
for
tony,
as
it
relates
to
some
of
the
points
that
councilmember
cohen
was
bringing
up
about
what
was
passed
previously.
P
I,
for
whatever
reason
my
recollection
was
that
a
lot
of
this
was
already
moved
forward.
You
know
given
the
items
that
were
in
previous
memos
and
that
we
deferred
this
slice
of
it,
and
so
but
but
I
appreciate
the
fact
that
you
went
to
the
minutes
tony.
D
P
Right,
I
understand
okay,
all
right,
I
just
the
reason
I
mention.
That
is
that
I
think
if
and
I'm
going
to
go
back
and
look
at
the
video
in
more
detail,
but
I
think
by
looking
at
the
video
of
the
meeting
back
in
november.
I
think
that
would
help
sort
of
highlight
some
of
the
things
that
we
touched
on
and
and
clarify
the
direction
I
have.
P
You
know
every
confidence
that
the
minutes
are
correct,
but
I
think
it'd
be
it'd,
be
good,
just
to
put
them
next
to
each
other,
just
to
see
if
they
match
up,
but
but
anyhow,
but
thank
you-
and
I
just
one
last
comment
before
before
I
hand
it
over
to
the
next
person,
is
that
you
know
I
I
do
realize
that
you
know
to
council
member
davis
point
that
there's
a
lot
of
other
things
that
are
calling
us
as
it
relates
to
spending
of
city
resources
but
in
my
mind,
right
election
integrity
and
where
the
money
flows
from
and
how
it
flows
into
the
city.
P
Elections
and
such
that
to
me
is
at
the
very
core
of
our
democracy
and
so
to
me,
everything
flows
from
that,
and
so
you
know
I
I
don't
sit
comfortably
by
or
I
don't
take
comfort
in
knowing
that,
assuming
we
don't
spend
money
on
this
and
and
because
we
need
it
for
officers
or
we
need
it
for
x,
y
and
z,
and
this
lets
you
know
we
let
it
sit
idle,
while
other
things
get
funding
when
I
think
this
is
just
so
foundational
to
what
we
believe
in,
I
think
as
americans,
in
the
city
of
san
jose
and
certainly
the
united
states,
and
so
that's
why.
P
P
What
happened
in
san
diego
happening
here,
but
I'm
not
interested
in
waiting
to
see
you
know
to
see
a
headline
and
then
that
helped
lead
us
down
a
path
to
doing
the
right
thing,
and
so
I
think
it's
a
worthwhile
effort
that
is
going
to
require
money,
and
I
think
we
as
a
city
should
be
spending
that
the
resources
to
make
that
happen.
So
that's
all
I
have
thank
you.
C
Thank
you,
counselor
pearls.
E
Yeah,
thank
you
mayor,
I'm
supportive
of
this
effort
and
and
only
in
chiming
in
right
now,
because
I
think
it
was
a
bit
unfair
to
bring
up
the
comparison
of
the
effort
that
we
are
going
down
in
regards
to
expanding
voting
to
non-citizens.
E
We
haven't
made
a
decision
on
that,
yet
I
know
where
I
stand,
but
when
you
look
across
the
country
and
where
a
lot
of
this
expansion
has
gone
specifically,
it
has
gone
to
legal
permanent
residence
that
also,
as
councilman
mccrone
pointed
out,
have
had
the
ability
to
donate
in
campaigns
but
haven't
had
an
ability
to
vote.
But
nonetheless
this
is
an
issue
that
has
not
been
decided
upon
by
this
council.
E
All
we
did
was
agree
to
have
a
study
session,
and
so
I
think
it's
it's
unfair
to
bring
that
into
the
conversation
and
to
claim
that
we're
speaking
out
of
both
sides
of
our
mouth,
if
we're
in
support
of
of
this,
which
I
do
think,
is
very
important
to
limit
the
foreign
influence.
E
That's
much
different
than
expanding
the
opportunity
for
people
that
are
living
here,
legally
paying
taxes
potentially
donating
to
campaigns
legally,
but
don't
have
an
opportunity
to
vote
so
I
think
that's
very,
very
different
regardless.
I
think
we
should
have
that
conversation
before
we
bring
it
in
in
a
comparison
or
an
argument
on
this
item.
So
I
will
be
supporting
this
thing.
J
Thank
you.
I
just
wanted
to
add
to
that.
I
also
I'm
going
to
support
the
motion
on
the
floor.
I
don't
think
that
a
comparison
between
unions
and
corporations
is
fair.
Unions
are
funded
by
the
people
that
work
for
companies,
but
not
for
the
interest
of
the
companies,
but
for
their
interest
as
and
as
a
whole,
and
so
I
just
wanted
to
to
publicly
differentiate
that.
Thank
you.
C
Thank
you,
councilman
cohen,.
Q
Yeah,
thank
you.
I
want
to
clarify
a
few
things.
First,
just
to
go
back
to
the
november
meeting.
I
I
I'm
still
a
little
bit
confused
about
that.
The
minutes
from
there,
because
the
beginning
of
the
minute
say
or
for
this
item
it
says,
include
recommendation
two
and
three
and
defer
recommendation
one
for
90
days.
So
what
we're
doing?
What
I
thought
we
were
doing
today
was
that
deferral
of
recommendation
one
and
that
two
and
three
had
been
approved.
That's
why
I
was
kind
of
confused
hearing
differently.
Q
It
may
not
be.
We
obviously
didn't
approve
a
final
version
because
they
were
supposed
to
come
back
with
something
as
part
of
two
and
three,
but
we
did
specifically
defer
recommendation
one
for
90
days,
and
that
was
the
deferral
we're
dealing
with
today.
That's
written
in
the
minutes,
so
I
just
want
to
be
I'm
not
sure
we
need
the
parts
of
the
two
and
three
in
this
motion
I
just
wanna.
I
want
this
to
be
clean
and-
and
you
know
accurate,
so
I
I
don't
know
I'm
okay.
Q
D
Q
Q
Okay,
I
mean
I'm
willing
to
amend
my
motion
to
say
bring
those
my
motion
can
be
bring
back
items
two
and
three
in
the
fall
after
the
next
election
or
something
so
that
we
don't
have
to
put
a
lot
of
effort
into
it
before
this
election
or
something
that's
okay
with
me.
I
just
want
to
make
sure
we're
not
dropping
those
items.
That's
the
real.
Only
point
of
mine.
C
And
councilman
cohen
would
I'm
not
sure
it
was
even
necessary,
but
I
guess
I
was
inquired
to
see
whether
you'd
be
willing
to
bifurcate
the
motion
I
would
call
my
position
was
against
the
extension
of
fundraising
for
the
additional
60
days
post-election.
C
I
want
to
make
sure
I'm
still
clear
on
the
record
about
my
position
on
that
issue.
Yeah
I
mean.
Q
Q
From
before,
although
I
will
point
out
that
you,
I
guess
you
were
one
of
the
no's-
yes
you're
right,
okay,
but
that's
fine,
we
can
we
can
I
mean
as
long
as
the
vote
from
before
still
stands.
We
can
leave
that
drop
that
from
this
motion
now,
so
we're
not
okay,
confusing
the
two
items.
Q
Thank
you,
sorry
for
that
diversion
again
so
back
to
this
item,
I
do
want
to
say
that
in
our
memo-
and
I
know
this
isn't
isn't
clear
because
even
I
didn't
fully
understand
all
this
language,
but
the
memo
defines
corporation
as
the
same
the
definition
used
in
the
california
political
reform
act,
which
was
intended
to
include
public
and
private
corporations.
Q
It
may
not
have
been
clear
and
enumerated
there,
the
california
political
reform
act
includes
but
isn't
limited
to
proprietorships,
partnerships,
firms,
business
trust,
joint
venture
syndicate
corporations
or
associations.
So
there
is
a
definition
that
was
meant
intended
to
be
similar
to
seattle's
definition
in
the
memo.
So
I
don't
know
if
anyone
I
can
clarify
my
motion
to
say
modeled
after
you
know,
including
public
and
private,
if
necessary,
but
the
intention
of
my
motion
was
to
include
both.
C
F
Q
Q
They're
not
so
I
mean
that's
always.
The
intention
here
was
not
to
limit
it
to
corporations
but
to
the
definition
under
the
political
reform
act.
That's
fine!
Okay!
I
mean
that's.
What's
in
the
memo
under
the
in
the
item,
so
that's
I
did
want
to
just
point
out
about
the
reason
why
this
is
important.
Q
You
know
it's
it
if
there's
going
to
be
foreign
influence
or
some
intent
intent
to
do
what
we
heard
about
that
was
done
in
the
other
case
in
california,
it's
more
likely
to
be
done
through
a
private
entity
than
through
a
publicly
traded
company,
and
so,
if
we're
trying
to
to
prevent
the
foreign
influence
which
the
constitution
says
that
we
are,
you
know,
certainly
should
be
preventing.
If
not
says
that
it's
okay
to
prevent,
then
I
think
it's
important
to
keep
those
in
there.
I'll.
Just
repeat
what
I
said
before.
Q
I
think
we
get
a
little
confused
here,
especially
in
a
city
as
diverse
with
people
born
all
over
the
world,
like
we
like
san
jose
the
difference
between
somebody
born
a
foreign
born
person
and
a
foreign
entity
again
legal
green
card
holders.
Legal
legal
residents
are
not
what
are
considered
foreign
entities
when
it
comes
to
the
private,
the
ownership
side.
Q
So
while
we
certainly
have
plenty
of
or
corporations
and
businesses
that
are
owned
by
foreign-born
residents
of
san
jose,
they're
not
owned
by
people
living
in
other
countries
and
it's
people
living
in
other
countries
that
the
constitution
says
should
not
have
do
not
have
a
right
to
participate
in
our
democracy
by
contributing
or
influencing
elections,
and
that's
that's
what
we're
trying
to
prevent.
So
I
just
wanted
to
make
that
that
clarification
in
the
memo
in
the
motion
and
about
what
it
is
that
we're
trying
to
do
here.
Thank
you.
C
Mark
just
going
to
that
issue.
I
know
this
gets
messy
pretty
fast,
but
I
took
a
look
at
the
blooming
decision
and
that
actually
involved
the
plaintiff,
who
is
here
in
the
united
states
on
a
work
visa?
Is
that
right?
I
believe
so?
Yes,
yeah.
Okay,
when
councilmember
davis
asked
a
question
about
whether
about
your
legal
analysis,
you
said
you
had
not
completed
your
legal
analysis
yet
is
it
is
that
is
that
right,
or
is
your
legal
analysis
completed
just
trying
to
understand.
F
F
C
And
what
perkins
cui
said
about
seattle's
ordinance
to
their
client?
The
state
democratic
central
committee
was
seattle's
proposed
ordinance,
barring
foreign
influence
corporations
for
making
independent
expenses
and
contributions
we'll
be
subject
to
strict
scrutiny.
I'm
omitting
some
words
here
to
get
through
this
very
long.
Paragraph
will
be
subject
to
strict
scrutiny
because
of
burden's
core.
First
amendment
speech.
It's
on
page
six.
F
F
Right,
I
think,
though
it
stands
for
the
proposition
that
the
government
can
do
something
with
respect
to
limiting
foreign
influence
in
elections.
Now.
What
does
that
mean
to
be
foreign
influenced?
And
I
think
our
memo
touches
on
that?
You
know
if
certainly
a
higher
threshold
of
foreign
influence,
20
30,
I
think,
has
a
stronger
chance
of
surviving
strict
scrutiny.
You
know
perkins
cooley's
memo
is
an
opinion
about
seattle's
ordinance.
F
It's
not
the
final
word
on
it
and
no
court
has
weighed
in
one
way
or
the
other,
but
there
is
legal
risk
in
pursuing
this
because,
as
you
mentioned,
citizens
united
exists.
C
F
I
believe
so
I
mean
what
what
the
federal
law
prohibits
is.
Certainly
individuals
who
are
foreign
nationals
and
then
foreign
corporations
with
their
principal
place
of
business
outside
of
the
united
states
right.
I
know
in
other
contexts
the
federal
communications
commission
limits
who
can
own
licenses
broadcast
licenses
as
a
matter
of
national
security.
F
C
What
I'm
more
concerned
about
is
the
five
percent
aggregate,
because
at
least
according
to
the
federal
board
of
governors
federal
border
reserve,
the
governors
of
the
of
the
federal
reserve,
40
percent
of
u.s
company
equity
of
the
6
000
companies
are
nasdaq
and
new
york
stock
exchange.
40
of
that
equity
is
foreign,
which
means
I
would
assume
virtually
every
publicly
owned
corporation
would
fit
in
this
this
category.
C
Now
I
wouldn't
have
any
problem
with
that
outcome,
because
I
think
citizens
united,
was
wrongly
decided
and
I'd
be
happy
to
support
a
constitutional
amendment
to
change
citizens.
United.
The
problem
is
since
united
is
the
law
of
the
land,
at
least
since
2010.,
and
so
my
concern
is,
is
that
we
have
an
ordinance
which
is
going
to
essentially
say
any
publicly
owned,
any
publicly
traded
company,
because
virtually
every
single
one
of
the
6
000
is
going
to
fall
into
that
category.
C
It's
going
to
be
tripped
up
by
the
five
percent,
so
virtually
any
publicly
owned
corporation
cannot
contribute
again,
I'm
fine
with
that
as
a
personal
political
matter.
The
problem
is
supreme.
Court
has
been
very
clear
about
what
that
means
and
that's
unconstitutional,
and
I
hope
that
my
classmate
kentangi
brown
jackson
will
con
persuade
her
colleagues,
otherwise,
but
I'm
pretty
convinced
six
of
the
supreme
court
justices
are
gonna
remain
pretty
stuck
to
that
opinion
for
the
next
generation.
C
So
you
know
I
went
back
and
and
read
the
assistant's
denied
decision,
because
I
was
really
trying
to
understand
this.
The
whole
thing
is
we
returned
to
the
principal
established
in
buckling
bloody,
this
earlier
decision.
The
government
may
not
suppress
political
speech
on
the
basis
of
the
speaker's
corporate
identity.
No
sufficient
governmental
interest
justifies
the
limits
on
political
speech
of
non-profitable.
For-Profit
corporations
earlier
cordolson
says
that
this
this
federal
statute
in
question
is
not
limited
to
corporations
or
associations
that
were
created
in
foreign
countries
or
funded
predominantly
by
foreign
shareholders.
C
C
Do
you
really
want
to
walk
us
into
an
ordinance?
That's
going
to
basically
tell
every
publicly
owned
corporation
that
they'll
be
violative
of
this
ordinance.
If
they
contribute
a
dollar
or
would
we
want
to
at
least
look
at
that
threshold
to
see,
if
maybe
we
would
align
ourselves
with
the
fec
or
some
other
federal
standard
that
would
assume
would
be
more
protected
under
prior
legal
holdings.
F
Our
memo
indicates
that,
where
you
know
a
higher
threshold
may
be
more
appropriate,
particularly
if
a
low
threshold
is
viewed
as
an
end
around
or
runs
an
end
around
citizens,
united
and
and
that's
why,
in
our
memo
we
we've
mentioned
the
20
threshold,
that's
used
for
the
fb
fcc.
F
As
I
said,
you
know,
the
the
analysis
of
perkins
coulee
is
an
opinion
about
seattle's
ordinance.
You
know,
as
I
mentioned,
I
think
a
higher
a
higher
threshold
would
be
more
defensible.
There's
nothing
that
says
it
has
to
be
one
five.
It
could
be
120,
it
could
be
520,
as
saint
petersburg
had
done
as
done
it
could
be
20
50..
You
know,
I
think
it's
a
sliding
scale.
The
one
thing
is
I,
the
the
limits
of
this
have
not
been
tested
yet.
F
F
C
C
So
I
guess
where
I'm
going
with
all
this,
I
I
agree
with
council
member
cohen.
I
don't
think
publicly
owned.
Companies
generally
don't
participate
in
our
elections,
usually
because
their
boards
say
you
can't
participate
in
elections,
so
they
stay
the
heck
out.
I've
fundraised,
probably
for
you
know
a
couple
affordable
housing
measures
where
some
companies
have
contributed,
but
I'd
have
to
think
really
hard.
Maybe
beyond
one
company,
I
can't
think
of
any
publicly
owned
companies
that
have
contributed
to
anything
other
than
an
affordable
housing
measure
that
I've
ever
fundraised.
C
For
so
I
I
think
this
is
very
rare,
less
than
a
fraction
of
one
percent.
I
guess
my
concern
is:
is
that
we're
passing
a
law
that
would
essentially
create
a
blanket
preclusion
and
that's
a
great
opportunity
for
some
litigant
to
come
after
us
and
run
us
around
with
a
lot
of
litigation?
That's
probably
not
something
we'd
welcome,
at
least
in
terms
of
the
cost.
C
Q
Before
I
accept
that,
let
me
let
me
defer
to
the
legal
experts
that
are
online
from
the
other,
from
outside
ron
and
michael
yeah.
B
C
N
Thank
you.
There
are
a
couple
of
ways
that
you
could
look
at
this,
and
one
way
to
look
at
it
is
that
citizens
united
describe
the
corporations
to
which
it
applies
as
associations
of
citizens.
That
was
the
exact
phrase,
so
an
association
of
citizens
was
not
precisely
defined
in
that
opinion,
but
corporations
that
have
five
percent
foreign
investment
don't
seem
like
associations
of
citizens
at
that
level
of
aggregate
foreign
investment,
it's
an
association
of
citizens
and
then
also
a
substantial
mix
of
foreign
entities.
N
Now
what
that
means
in
terms
of
the
corporate
treasury
is
under
california
law,
as
stated
by
the
california
court
of
appeal,
the
shareholders
are
the
residual
claimants
of
a
corporation's
assets,
meaning
that
even
if
they
never
actually
make
this
claim,
the
money
in
the
corporate
treasury
belongs
to
them.
So
when
you
talk
about
a
corporation
that
has
an
aggregate
foreign
ownership
of
five
percent
or
more
fundamentally,
that
money
in
the
corporate
treasury
and
a
non-insubstantial
amount
of
it
belongs
to
foreign
investors.
N
So
when
that
corporation
spends
money
on
an
election,
that
corporation
is
spending
to
some
degree
foreign
investors
money
in
terms
of
the
analysis
by
perkins
cui
well,
it
is
true
that
it
was
nominally
done
on
behalf
of
a
democratic
party
entity.
N
It
was
you
know,
perkins
cool
is
a
law
firm
that
primarily
represents
corporations,
and
I
think
everyone
needs
to
take
that
with
a
certain
grain
of
salt
that
was
not
adopted
by
the
city
of
seattle,
in
that
their
city
staff's
analysis,
and
it's
worth
noting
that
not
on
behalf
of
neither
perkins
coin
or
any
other
firm
has
in
fact
challenged
the
seattle
ordinance,
which
has
been
in
effect
for
now
over
two
years,
including
through
one
major
election
cycle.
N
The
last
thing
I
want
to
note
is
that
there's
an
op-ed
by
roma
dawson
in
the
the
mercury
news
just
a
day
or
so
ago
that
talks
about
a
specific
spending
in
san
jose
elections
from
from
corporations
and
other
entities
that
would
meet
this
threshold,
including
equity,
residential
essex
property
trust,
I
believe,
chevron
and
lyft
as
well.
N
So
I
I'm
not
personally
familiar
with
all
of
those
data,
but
it's
in
the
mercury
news
and
assuming
it's
it's
accurate
that
this
is
already
a
problem.
That's
at
san
jose's
doorstep,
if
it
hasn't
already
happened
within
the
city
already.
Mr.
C
Fine
we're
not
debating
whether
to
go
forward.
It's
really
the
threshold
and-
and
you
just
described
as
any
company
that
has
more
than
five
percent
ownership-
is
in
fact
somehow
another
controlled
by
foreign
individuals.
I
mean
I,
I
encourage
you
to
think
of
the
most
american
public
company.
You
can,
let's
take
bank
of
america,
I
don't
think
they
have
any
branches
outside
this
country.
I
could
be
wrong.
C
N
Actually,
to
be
precise
and
and
michael
sosan
has
some
more
accurate
data
on
this
than
I
can
recall
off
the
top
of
my
head,
but
among
the
s
p,
500
5
aggregate
threshold.
It
does
capture
a
very
large
majority
of
them.
When
you
look
at
the
other
5
500,
publicly
traded
corporations
which
are
smaller
looking
on
smaller
indexes,
it
actually
captures
only
about
a
third
of
them,
so
even
among
publicly
traded
corporations.
N
Once
you
get
out
of
those
top
500,
the
5
aggregate
threshold
isn't
covering
more,
and
when
you
talk
about,
for
example,
bank
of
america,
I
think
the
quote
from
the
ceo
of
exxon,
where
he
said:
I'm
not
a
us
company
and
I
don't
make
decisions
based
on
what's
good
for
the
us
is
applicable,
the
the
it's
not
so
much
that
foreign
entities
control
these
corporations.
N
N
The
the
ceo
of
a
company
is
going
to
be
aware
of
the
the
potential
of
foreign
investors,
including
in
the
aggregate
to
to
make
trouble
for
the
board,
and
that
can,
you
know,
affect
his
or
her
job
and
and
the
jobs
of
everyone.
You
know
that's
involved
in
corporate
political
spending
decision.
So
unless
you
have
another
question
from
from
me
personally,
I
I
would
defer
over
yield
my
time
so
to
speak.
To
to
mr
suzanne.
O
Thank
you
and
and
I'll
make
it
quick
and
mr
fine
made
a
number
of
points
that
I
was
going
to
make
I'll
echo
a
few
of
them,
but
just
in
very
brief
form.
I
will
start
by
saying.
O
Oh
okay,
good.
My
opinion
is
that
the
ordinance
is
great,
it
should
be
passed,
but
what
I
was
going
to
say
is:
is
that
the
this
is
not
a
legal
issue.
That's
been
settled,
the
limits
haven't
been
truly,
you
know
tested
of
course,
but
you
know
we
would
disagree
with
the
perkins
memo
and
also
there
are
two
very
respected
constitutional
scholars
who
actually
disagree
with
it,
and
they
are
senator
elizabeth
warren
and
congressman
jamie
raskin
who
are
no
slouches
in
the
area
of
constitutional
law
and
legislation.
O
They
they
disagree
with
the
memo,
as
proved
in
their
legislation.
I'll
also
remind
people
that
president
obama
himself
and
justice
stevens
and
his
dissent
and
citizens
united,
recognized
the
huge
loophole
that
was
opened
up
in
citizens
united.
O
When
corporations
were
given
the
right
to
spend
in
elections,
but
foreigners
were
invested
in
those
corporations,
and
this
was
actually
something
that
president
obama,
you
may
remember,
famously
called
out
at
one
state
of
the
union
address.
So
this
was
something
that
was
recognized
as
needing
to
be
fixed.
O
I
would
also
say,
as
professor
lawrence
tribe
says,
these
thresholds
are
very
defensible
because
actually
there
shouldn't
be
even
a
drop
of
foreign
investment
in
u.s
corporations
under
the
law,
as
it's
been
developed
as
going
back
to
mr
fein's
point,
that
would
make
it
not
an
association
of
citizens.
I
was
also
going
to
bring
up
the
exxon
mobil
point
and
then
I
will
I'll
also
say
this.
You
know
there's.
O
There
was
an
example
in
california
just
recently
with
with
proposition
22,
where
uber
lyft,
doordash
and
other
foreign
influenced
companies
spent
over
200
million
dollars
in
prop
22
to
reverse
the
state.
The
state
law
that
you
know
happened
absolutely,
and
I
was
going
to
also
point
to
that.
The
research
that
mr
fein
said
about
recent
big
spending
in
in
the
san
jose
elections
by
major
fortune,
500
companies
and
other
companies,
as
well
so
with.
C
O
Sure,
chevron
and
lyft,
I
don't
know
if
lyft
is
in
the
fortune,
500.
O
S
O
O
O
C
O
I
wrote
a
report
in
2019
at
the
center
for
american
progress,
where
we
did
some
analysis
of
this
and
what
we,
what
we
concluded
was
approximately
of
the
s
p
500
companies,
the
biggest
corporations
and
publicly
traded
corporations
in
the
country.
O
Approximately
98
of
them
would
trigger
the
5
aggregate
foreign
ownership
threshold,
but
as
soon
as
you
get
out
of
the
of
the
s,
p
500
or
fortune
500
in
industries-
and
you
get
down
into
what's
known
as
the
russell
1000
index,
which
is
very
large
corporations,
but
that
are
smaller
than
fortune
500
or
s
p,
500
they're,
just
they
just
have
lower
market
capitalizations,
but
are
still
publicly
traded
only
26
of
those
trigger
the
5
aggregate.
O
So,
and
so
that's
a
pretty
quick
diminishment
right
there
still
talking
about
publicly
traded
companies,
but
that's
how
far
it
drops
just
going
from
the
biggest
to
this
sl
to
the
level
slightly
below
the
the
biggest
and
that's
that
makes
sense,
because
foreign
investors
are
almost
certainly
drawn
to
the
biggest
name
brands
and
the
biggest
companies
in
the
us.
So
hopefully
that
sheds
some
some
light
on
on
that
question
yeah.
It.
C
Does
I
guess
it
raises
another
question
though,
and
I
know
this
question
hasn't
been
resolved
because
the
seattle
ordinance
hasn't
been
tested,
but
if
we
knew
that
more
than
98
of
a
comp
set
of
companies
would
be
banned
from
contributing
under
this
ordinance.
C
As
of
s
p,
500
companies,
which
is
typically
the
broadest
index,
that
most
market
watchers
use
to
look
at.
What's
going
on
in
the
market,
I'm
having
a
hard
time
trying
to
understand
how
a
court
under
citizens
united
is
going
to
say
that's
not
essentially
effectively
banning
corporate
participation,
which
is
what's
in
the
united's
about.
I
understand
what
councilmember
cohen's
intent
is.
C
Now
again,
I
don't
have
a
problem
with
that
as
a
matter
of
policy.
I
just
know
six
justices
on
the
supreme
court,
who
almost
certainly
would
based
on
what
we've
heard
from
them.
So
far,
and
so
I'm
concerned
about
this,
and
I
guess
I
would
ask:
are
your
organizations
willing
to
provide
us
defense
if
we
get
sued.
N
C
N
N
Well,
alliance
for
open
society
international
did
involve
corporate
entities,
but
anyway,
to
answer
your
question
directly,
I'm
subject
to
the
city
of
san
jose
passing
an
ordinance
in
a
in
a
final
form
that
you
know
would
we
need
to
see
the
final
text?
N
I
can
say
that
free
speech
for
people,
which
employs
several
lawyers
full
time
and
works
often
with
outside
law
firms,
would
be
happy
to
enter
into
an
arrangement
with
the
city
attorney's
office
if
they
would
welcome
this
to
assist
in
the
defense
of
any
such
ordinance
at
no
charge
for
our
legal
services.
Thank.
O
Thank
you
for
the
question
center
for
american
progress
does
not
involve
itself
directly
in
litigation,
so
we
wouldn't
be
able
to
do
that,
but
certainly
we'd
be
able
to
continue
to
provide
our.
You
know
our
research
and
our
our
materials
and
talk
to
whoever
whoever
is
involved,
and
if
I,
if
I
can,
if
I
can
make
one
point
about
about
about
how
this
would
potentially
cut
off
all
political
spending
by
the
biggest
corporations.
O
I
just
would
like
to
say
that
my
understanding
of
the
ordinance
would
be
that
it
would
only
be
cutting
off
spending
from
corporate
treasuries.
There
would
still
be
multiple
ways
that
corporations
would
still
be
allowed
to
exercise
their
free
speech
rights.
So,
for
example,
cap
believes
that
a
corporate
pac
should
still
be
allowed
to
exist
from
a
from
a
foreign
influence
a
u.s
corporation.
That's
largely
because
pac
money
is
made
up
of
just
money
given
by
u.s
employees,
so
the
corporate
pac
could
continue
to
exist.
O
Individual
executives
and
employees
could
would
continue
unrestricted
to
be
able
to
make
donations
as
they
always
have.
There
would
be
no
restrictions
on
that
foreign
influence
company
being
able
to
do
lobbying
activity
or
even
joining
an
association,
a
like-minded
association,
so
there
would
still
be
multiple
avenues
of
first
amendment
speech,
rights.
C
O
Because
the
corporate
pac
it
very
importantly,
is
made
up
of
money,
that's
only
from
u.s
employees
and
also
is
given
in
much
smaller
increments
that
are
carefully
circumscribed
in
law.
You
know
five
thousand
dollars
approximately
no
for
election
cycles,
for
example,
so
it
is
in
smaller
increments.
It
must
be
reported
and
it
is
us
dollars.
So
it's
actually
quite
different.
O
C
All
right,
as
you
can
tell
I'm
skeptical
and
concerned
about
the
constitutionality
at
the
threshold
that
we've
currently
set,
but
I
appreciate
mr
fein's
offer
and
so
we'll
happily,
I
suspect,
take
him
up
on
that,
because
I
think
we're
going
to
have
ourselves
a
challenge.
So
I'm
happy
to
support
it.
If
we've
got
organizations
willing
to
take
up
the
fight
for
us,
but
I'm
concerned
as
I've
expressed
about
this-
and
you
know
I'm
frankly,
I'd
hope.
C
P
Yeah,
thank
you
mayor.
Just
just
had
a
quick
question,
I'm
what
I'm
wondering
is
nora.
I
think
I
can't
see
who's
in
the
hall.
I
assume
she's
there.
What
I'm
curious
about
nora
is.
Do
you
think
you
can
approach
the
chat
law
firm
and
ask
them
if
they'd
be
willing
to
defend
us
on
this
assuming
we'll
get
sued?
I
know
they
step
up
on
many
other
sort
of
instances,
and
I'm
wondering
if
this
is
something
that
you
think
they'd
be
willing
to
take
up
pro
bono.
D
I
could
certainly
ask
them
that
we've
got
them
fairly
busy
right
now,
but
I
could
certainly
ask
them
and
I
I
would
like
to
say,
because
I
think
it's
important
there's.
We
would
need
a
record
to
bring
something
forward
like
this.
D
There
are
things
that
we
would
want
to
know
and
develop,
and
we
would
probably
have
to
work
with
city
staff
on
that
maybe
the
office
of
economic
development,
but
it
would
be
very
helpful
to
know
how
many
entities
in
the
city,
because
right
now,
as
I
understand
it,
this
is
a
the
direction-
is
fairly
broad
and
it's
not
limited
to
publicly
held
corporations,
and
I
think
we
would
want
to
take
a
look
at
that
and
advise
the
council
on
what
that
picture
looks
like.
D
We
don't
have
that
information
right
now
and
also,
whether
or
not
there
are
implications
for
equal
protection
once
we
start
parsing
ownership,
size
and
size
of
corporations,
we
may
be
just
fine,
but
that's
something
we're
going
to
have
to
look
at.
So
my
only
point
is
this
is
going
to
take
us
quite
a
bit
of
work,
that's
all
to
bring
something
back.
That
is
as
defensible
as
we
can
make
it
and
with
a
record
that
would
support
what
the
council
wants
to
do.
P
Okay
and
then,
and
then
you
know,
I'm
assuming
that
work's
going
to
take
place,
and
so
would
I
be
curious
about
it
as
it
relates
to
my
recommendation
to
reach
out
to
the
law
firm.
Would
you
need
explicit
direction
for
that
or
or
would
could
you
just
do
it
in
the
course
of
just
business
and
conversation
with
him
or.
H
It
would
be
a
budget
item
otherwise
for
a
lot
more
lawyers
so
anyway,
thank
you.
Yeah.
D
T
H
We
get
sued
that
that's
a
different
kettle
of
fish.
P
Right
and
then
as
it
relates
to
some
of
the
work
involved
to
to
sort
of
get
this
ready
for.
Prime
time
is
what
I
get
you're
saying
is:
can
we
rely
on
some
of
the
organizations
that
are
here
say
the
center
for
american
progress
and
other
folks
that
I
think
potentially
have
already
done
some
of
this
work
to
just
you
know,
bridge
that
you
know
with
the
city
and
and
be
that
that
that
source
of
information
it
was
that,
would
that
be
easy
enough,
or
do
you
think
it
needs
to
be
done
independently.
P
Okay,
thank
you,
and
I
would
just
just
conclude
by
saying
that
you
know
it's
often
the
case
that
we
make
decisions
on
this
council
that
we
we
know
that
the
likelihood
of
getting
sued
is
highly
likely
and
we
don't
need
to
think
that
far
back,
you
think
about
the
gum
gun,
harm
reduction
ordinance.
P
We
already
knew
we
were
going
to
be
sued,
I
think
most
of
us
and
we
have
in
fact
been
sued,
and
so
that
has
never
stopped
us
from
doing
the
right
thing,
and
so
I
think
it's
just
important
to
to
certainly
go
forward
with
eyes
wide
open.
I
think
these
are
all
good
questions
that
the
mayor
was
asking
and
I'm
glad
we
had
experts
on
the
panel
that
can
answer
those
questions
and
hopefully
allay
some
of
his
concerns
and
his
fears.
P
But
you
know
time
and
again
we
go
down
this
path
where
the
likelihood
of
being
sued
is
again,
it
is
very
present
and-
and
I
don't
think,
we've
shied
away
from
doing
the
right
thing
in
other
circumstances,
and
so
I
just
find
it
a
little
strange
that
in
this
circumstance,
we're
just
super
concerned
and
we're
not
ready
to
move
forward.
So
I
just
wanted
to
express
that.
I
think
it
was
important
because
I
think
you
know
to
to
council
member
davis
point.
P
You
know
speaking
at
it,
two
sides
of
our
mouth
or
whatever
the
comment
was.
You
know.
I
think
we
need
to
be
consistent
in
our
in
our
in
our
in
our
ability
and
our
willingness
to
move
forward
on
these
controversial
issues
that
we
think
are
important
and
very
core
and
bedrock
to
our
democracy
and
what
we
think
is
right
in
our
society
and
I'm
not
a
fan
of
shine
away
from
some
of
that.
P
That's
why
we
have
a
a
city,
attorney's
office,
and
I
have
every
confidence
that
if,
in
fact,
we
go
down
well
when
we
go
down
this
road
and
if
something
arises,
that,
along
with
them
and
other
folks,
will
be
able
to
take
on
this
challenge
and
and
and
do
the
right
thing
by
way
of
our
citizens.
Thank
you.
C
C
We
have
to
look
out
first,
these
messengers,
so
I'm
going
to
support
this
going
forward
and
I
take
mr
fine
at
his
word
that
he'll
be
there
to
support
us
legally
when
we
get
sued
because
we'll
probably
need
it,
but
I'm
concerned
about
doing
things
when
we
see
very
strong
indicators
that
the
supreme
court
has
ruled
in
this
area
and
it's
not
in
the
direction
we'd
like.
So
I
leave
it
at
that
happy
to
support
the
remaining
motion.
Councilman
frost.
E
I
I
I
think
we
have
to
that.
E
We
have
plenty
of
people
that
think
that
the
decision
that
we
just
made
on
the
gun
ordinances
were
illegal
and
you
know,
what's
legal
and
not
is,
I
think,
best
left
up
to
the
court
system
and
judges,
and
even
in
that
case,
as
we
know,
it's
really
a
matter
of
opinion
at
best,
and
we
see
that
change
from
time
to
time.
E
So
I
think
in
this
case
we
don't
have
a
definitive
answer,
so
I
appreciate
that
you're
willing
to
support
it,
because
I
I
do
think
that
there's
a
likelihood
it
may
get
challenged,
but
I
don't
think
we
could
say
definitively
that
what
we're
doing
is
illegal
at
all
at
all.
Just
like
you
know
what
what
some
may
have
challenged,
what
we
did
with
the
gun
ordinances
was
illegal.
I
don't
think
that
was
you
know.
That
was
a
proper
statement
either.
C
No,
I
I
didn't
say
that
what
we're
doing
is
illegal
because
there
hasn't
been
a
ruling
on
this
ordinance
right.
We
won't
know
until
we
get
that
ruling.
I'm
just
concerned
very
concerned
based
on
the
cases
I've
read
and
specifically,
and
referring
not
just
to
citizens
united,
but
also
to
the
decision
in
the
in
the
blumen
case,
which
is
the
case
written
by
now,
chief
justice,
I'm
saying
not
chief
justice,
but
rather
justice,
kavanaugh,
and
what
I
think
we
can
derive
from
that.
E
C
D
P
A
D
A
C
Okay,
let's
move
on
now
to
item
5.1
to
the
federal
aviation
administration,
grant
funding
for
the
airport
terminal
americans
with
disabilities
act
projects
john
aitken's
been
patiently
waiting.
He's
saying
I
don't
want
to
talk
just
get
me
out
of
here,
john
I'm
going
to
make
you
talk
anyway,
because
I
got
a
question,
but
let's
first
ask
if
there
any
members
of
the
public
would
like
to
speak.
C
Okay,
john
sorry,
to
make
you
do
this,
but
I
got
a
question
for
you
appreciate
that
we
got
this
federal
money,
we're
making
good
improvements
for
ada
access.
It's
important.
We've
got
a
lot
of
seniors,
a
lot
of
residents
with
disabilities
and
we
want
to
make
sure
everyone
can
use
this
beautiful
airport.
I
get
lots
of
compliments
about
our
airport,
there's
only
one
complaint
I
get
and
it's
the
same,
consistent
complaint,
which
is
it's
really
really
long,
terminal
and
or
set
of
terminals?
C
And
you
know
when
you
get
through
security,
then
you
got
a
long
walk
quite
often
to
to
the
gate
and
obviously
for
seniors
and
those
with
disability.
I
know
we
provide
help
wheelchairs
and
so
forth,
but
we
also
know
things
get
busy
and
it's
inevitably
there
that
we
we,
we
can't
help
everybody
and
there
are
lots
of
people
frustrated
with
us.
I
understood
in
the
original
design
for
this
airport
we
did
have
a
people
mover
and
that
was
taken
out
to
deal
with
cost
issues.
C
I
think,
as
this
thing
got
more
expensive
more
than
a
decade
ago-
and
I
guess
the
question
is:
have
we
thought
about
putting
the
people
mover
back
in
the
in
the
airport.
M
M
Okay,
the
inside,
if
you,
if
you
envision
the
the
concourse,
the
terrazzo's,
so
narrow
that
if
we
did
the
bypassing
moving
sidewalks
or
anything,
it
would
shrink
the
walking
space
down
to
the
point
where
we
couldn't
maneuver
so
because
we're
a
long,
narrow
airport,
we
don't
really
have
an
option
for
an
indoor
unless
we
went
up
a
level
and
that
would
change
the
entire
architecture
of
the
thing
and
it
would
cost
quite
a
bit
of
money.
Now,
two
things
one.
We
don't
have
this
grant.
This
is
permission
to
ask
for
this
money
right.
M
So
I
just
wanted
to
clarify
that,
but
you
may
have
seen
just
recently.
We
did
this
self
driving
autonomous
little
wheelchairs.
We
did
a
yeah.
C
M
With
that,
it's
great
we
extended
the
pilot
program
with
the
company,
so
they're
staying
for
the
remainder
of
march
and
april.
So
it's
a
great
opportunity.
We
have
in
the
in
the
budget,
going
forward
some
money
to
continue
that
program,
so
people
that
are
that
need
a
wheelchair,
take
a
wheelchair,
but
there's
a
lot
of
people
that
just
feel
they
can
walk.
But
when
they
see
the
distance,
then
they
get
concerned
we'll
have
that
automated
wheelchair
that
they
don't
have
to
ask
for
help.
They
can
just
do
it
themselves.
M
We
also
have
money
in
the
budget
this
year
to
start
back
up
the
golf
carts
that
we
used
to
use
to
transport
people
that
need
a
little
bit
of
mobility,
help
in
there,
so
that
those
are
the
two
options
and
I
know
it's
operating
expensive
and
capital
cheap,
but
we
just
don't
have
the
room
to
do
the
capital
improvement
to
do
it
right.
M
No
because
every
time
you
I
mean
you
go
to
a
large
airport,
it's
four
foot
in
each
direction
to
get
the
moving
sidewalks
going.
That's
eight
feet
out
of
that,
and
you
either
put
it
in
front
of
the
concessions
on
the
east
side
of
the
of
the
concourse
right
or
you
put
it
over
by
the
gates
on
the
on
the
west
side,
you're
blocking
one
or
the
other
as
you're
doing
these
yeah.
You
know
150
foot
jaunts
of
moving
sidewalks.
M
So
I
really
don't
think
it's
an
option
in
the
long
skinny
layout
that
we
have
right.
C
D
C
E
You
excited
me,
I
knew
where
you
were
going
before.
You
even
said
it.
So
yes,
please,
stay
john
and
first
off
can
I
say
I
didn't
know
how
much
I
missed
arguing
with
you
in
person
sam,
so
it's
great
to
be
back,
but
in
this
case
I
I'm
totally
in
line
and,
like
I
said,
I
knew
exactly
where
the
mayor
was
going
and
I
actually
I
want
to
disagree
for
a
moment
that
we
can't
make
this
happen.
I
think
that
it
may
take
a
little
bit
of
creativity.
E
You
know
walkway
so
because
I
agree
with
you:
it's
not
going
to
be
as
easy
as
it
is
in
in
other
places,
but
I
would
like
to
think
and
I'm
trying
to
look
at
some
internal
pictures
online
right
now
of
the
the
terminals,
I'd
like
to
think
there's
some
places
where,
where
it
is
wide
enough,
where
maybe
we
could
get
a
stretch
right
of
where
it
where
it
goes
and
and
honestly
creatively,
if
indeed
it
looks
like
we
can't
get
going
in
both
directions,
I
don't
think
we
should
put
it
past
us
that
maybe
we
have
it
going
one
direction,
but
have
it
be
reversible?
E
If
you
come
in,
you
know
your
flight
ends
up
being
all
the
way
down
to
what
the
marriage
point
is
right
here,
this
long
long,
you
know
stretch
to
get
to.
I
think
that
a
one
directional
you
know
assisting
moving.
You
know
walkway
could
be
beneficial,
so
I
just
wanna.
I
wanted
to
put
that
right
plant
that
thought.
I
don't
think
there
obviously
needs
to
be
any
formal
decision.
Yet,
but
let's
say,
for
instance,
there
is
some
funding
that
we
do
get
out
of
this.
E
I
would
like
for
you
to
maybe
put
a
little
bit
more
thought
rather
than
just
say:
hey
sorry,
we
don't
think
it's
possible.
I'm
happy
to
get
your
reaction.
M
No,
that's
fine,
I
mean
we
can
review
it
again
and
look
at
it's
not
like.
We've
never
come
up
with
creative
solutions
to
a
difficult
problem,
so
we
will
dig
into
it
and
see
if
there's
opportunities
and
and
and
try
and
see
what
we
can
do.
This
grant
is
focused
on
projects
that
are
already
designed
and
ready
for
bid
because
remember
that
infrastructure
money
wants
to
be
spent
by
congress
as
soon
as
possible,
and
so
that's
that
part
doesn't
mean
there's
more
money
coming
every
year
for
the
next
five
years.
So.
E
That
was
I'll
move
approval
too
of
this
time.
C
H
Okay,
so
thank
you
mayor,
thank
you,
councilmember
perales,
for
bringing
up
the
area,
that's
of
biggest
concern
to
me,
and
you
know
this
john,
because
I
think
one
of
my
first
council
meetings,
I
talked
about
my
mom
not
being
able
to
walk
down
the
long
terminals,
so
I'm
all
for
the
people
mover.
I
think
we
should
investigate
that
and
be
as
creative
as
possible,
but
I
just
wanted
to
share
a
little
story
with
you
and
and
get
some
feedback
from
you.
H
I
was
at
the
airport
around
the
holidays
and
I
noticed
that
the
escalator
was
not
working.
There
was
no
sign
to
me.
That
said
where
I
could
go
or
where
someone
could
go
to
gain
access
to
security.
You
have
to
go
up
the
elevator
or
the
up
the
escalator,
so
there's
no
elevator
or
I'm
sure
there
is,
but
there
was
no
signage.
All
there
was
was
something
in
front
of
the
escalator.
M
For
terminal
b,
yes,
yeah
for
terminal
b,
you
would
walk
past
the
escalators
towards
the
restrooms
that
are
between
the
ticket
lobby
and
the
baggage
claim
kind
of
where
the
information
booth
is
and
that
the
elevators
are
right
there
and
they
pop
up
next
to
where
you
do
your
clear.
If
you
were
a
clear
member,
upstairs
they
pop
out
right
there
at
the
beginning
of
the
queue.
Okay,
it's
not
very
far,
I
think
intuitively.
We
thought
you
could
see
them.
Obviously
we
need
to
do
some
additional
signage.
H
So
I'm
just
saying-
and
I
appreciate
that
and
and
I
don't
mean
to
scold
you
publicly-
but
I
guess
I
kind
of
am
scolding
you
publicly
it
it's
a
problem
and
I
have
and
had
a
knee
replacement.
So
it's
harder
to
go
up
steps.
I
can
do
it
and
I
I
did
it.
But
when
I
looked
at
it
I
thought
holy
cow.
I
got
to
go
up
these
stairs.
H
How
am
I
going
to
do
that
with
my
luggage
and
it
just
made
it
really
difficult
that
it
wasn't
so
easy
and
then
I
think
about
senior
citizens
or
okay,
I
guess
at
62,
I'm
technically
a
senior
citizen,
but
anyway
you
know
what
I
mean:
people
who
are
80
85
90,
who
need
need
that
mobility
or
need
that
access.
We
need
to.
Let
them
know
in
an
easier
way
without
having
to
walk
around
all
over
a
terminal
and
then
try
to
find
someone
to
ask
where
it
is
so.
H
So
that's
one
thing
I
wanted
to
bring
up.
I
think
it's
really
critical
that
we're
working
at
looking
at
accessibility
and
I'm
I'm
really
glad
to
hear
this
for
all
types
of
accessible.
Ish,
accessibility
issues,
but
I
understand
this
is
a
competitive
grant.
So
what
alternatives
do
you
have
in
place
or
will
you
look
at
if
we
don't
get
the
grant
or
what
is
the
likelihood
we
will
get
the
grant.
M
The
the
grant
is
we're
putting
in
for
two
different
types
of
the
grant.
There's
a
chunk
of
money.
That's
set
aside
for
terminal
buildings
and
then
there's
a
chunk
of
money.
That's
set
aside
for
both
discretionary
and
entitlement
grants
for
the
airport.
We
have
an
estimated
15.5
million
in
entitlement
means.
I
get
it
no
matter.
If
I
have
a
good
reason
or
not,
I
just
get
it
so
this
is
to
put
it
into
the
terminal
grant.
So
I
can
use
that
15
and
a
half
for
something
else.
M
If
I
fail
getting
in
the
turmoil,
grant
this
project's
important
enough
to
me
that
I
will
use
the
15.5
to
complete
this,
because
I
think
you
know
as
the
building
ages
and
codes
change.
We
need
to
keep
up
with
it.
For
for
these
reasons,
so
I
have
a
backup
plan
in
case
we
don't
make
it
phase,
one
will
go
period,
no
matter
what
phase
two
and
three
we're
trying
to
advance
them
with
the
grant,
but
if
not,
they
will
follow
each
year.
H
M
But
again
I
I
don't
take
it,
as
you
scolding
me
publicly.
Remember
that
I
walk
in
that
airport
every
day,
10
times
a
day,
and
so
what's
natural
to
me
is
I
see
the
elevators
every
time
I
walk
to
the
escalators,
so
it's
always
good
to
get
a
perspective
of
someone
who
doesn't
live
their
life
in
the
airport.
H
M
H
I
really
appreciate
that.
I'm
really
glad
to
hear
you
bringing
back
golf
carts,
because
some
people
don't
want
to
wait
for
the
the
wheelchair
and
they
also
don't
want
to
activate
their
own
wheelchair
if
they
have
to
deal
with
their
own
luggage
and
and
that
sort
of
thing,
so
I'm
absolutely
will
support
the
motion
and
and
wish
you
godspeed
in
getting
the
grant
money
and
and
implementation
in
place.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Q
Yeah
and
I
hope
you're
not
like
tom
hanks
in
the
terminal,
you
do
you
do
leave
the
airport.
Sometimes
I
I
do
yeah
anyway.
The
I
first
of
all
I
want
to
say
I
was
very,
I
was
very
excited
when
I
read
the
release
about
those
autonomous
vehicles.
I
mean,
I
think,
that'll
help
a
lot
to
have
that
kind
of
opportunity,
and
now
we
have
to
train.
Q
I
guess
the
question
is:
how
are
we
making
sure
people
who
come
into
the
airport
will
know
how
to
activate
them,
how
to
get
they
need
an
app
to
run
it
and
how
they're
going
to
be
able
to
figure
that
out
quickly
when
they're
on
you
know
in
a
hurry
to
get
from
place
to
place
yeah.
I
don't
need
to
ask
you
that
question
right
now,
I'll
learn
more
about
it
later,
but
I
did
want
back
to
the
question
about
being
creative
on
moving
people
around
the
airport.
Q
One
of
the
things
that
was
exciting
to
me
when
I
was
looking
into
the
and
and
talking
with
some
of
the
providers
for
the
airport
connector
project
was
that
you
know
the
idea
of.
Maybe
these
single
vehicle
connectors
could
be
used
as
inter-terminal
transport
as
well,
so
as
we
build
from
from
durden
to
the
airport,
trying
to
figure
out
how
to
build
that
in
a
way
that
that
could
be
an
inter-terminal
transport
vehicle
or
even
you
know,
having
a
couple
stops
within
each
terminal
so
that
people
could
use
that
vehicle.
Q
I
know
there
was
some
talk
about
potentially
at
least
coming
into
the
one
end
of
the
airport
directly
into
the
terminal
with
one
of
those
vehicles.
Eventually,
as
things
are
getting
built
out,
and
then
you
know,
these
airports
are
building
these
elevated
track
ways
and
it's
possible
that
even
this
airport
connector
could
have
an
elevated
trackway
in
the
terminal
to
be
able
to
go
back
and
forth
with
these
autonomous
connector
vehicles.
Yeah.
M
The
way
we're
looking
at
the
gear
dawn
airport
connector
is
the
basic
requirement
is
to
get
to
terminal
b
because
there's
a
space
built
for
it
and
then
options
as
the
p3
person
you
know
kind
of
is
creative.
There
are
opportunities
to
connect
b
with
a
on
the
outside,
which
would
eliminate
the
need
for
me
to
run
a
bus
between
terminal,
a
and
terminal
b,
and
then
they've
even
talked
about
continuing
on
to
the
long
term
parking
lot.
M
Q
Q
Just
like
the
buses
and
then
just
just
to
clarify
what
councilmember
foley's
questions
were
about
the
existing
project
we've
already
approved.
I
think,
as
council
phase
one
anyway
right
of
that
of
that
work.
It
was
that
true,
we
didn't.
We've
approved
that
contract
for
of.
M
Plus,
let's.
M
C
C
C
All
right
any
comments
from
the
public,
any
no
anti-roofing.
Okay,
let's
vote.
C
Thank
you
all
right
now
we're
rolling
thanks.
John
6.1
is
storm
drain
and
system
improvement,
project
re-bid.
B
Hi
robin
just
a
quick
thank
you
that
you're
working
on
our
issues
like
this,
and
I
I'm
learning,
really
important
lessons
about
what
to
expect
in
terms
of
natural
disaster
for
the
next
year,
compared
to
say
well
how
we're
going
to
deal
with
oil
prices
in
the
next
year
in
energy
use
in
the
next
year.
I'll
be
talking
more
about
this
in
the
coming
weeks,
and
I
am
trying
to
make
all
these
adjustments
and
understanding
what
can
be.
Our
natural
disaster
worries
for
the
next
few
years.
B
So
thanks
for
your
work
on
this,
and
as
always,
your
good
prep
practices.
Just
so
we're
aware
up
and
informed
on
these
matters,
and
we
can
be
prepared
in
case
of
the
worst
thanks
a
lot
back.
C
T
So
this
is
our
annual
cycle,
which
is
a
cycle
actually
for
a
five-year
consolidated
plan
or
five-year
strategic
plan.
The
council
approved
the
last
consolidated
plan
in
august
2020
and
fiscal
year.
22-23
will
be
year
three
of
a
five-year
plan.
T
T
This
is
our
proposed
priorities
for
what
we
call
our
community
development
investments,
and
this
is
a
pot
of
money
that
we
use
for
a
lot
of
place-based,
street
and
infrastructure
enhancements.
We
also
pay
for
targeted
code
enforcement,
that's
code
enforcement
that
is
above
and
beyond
what
the
city
typically
provides
in
our
budget,
and
then
we
also
can
pay
for
acquisition,
rehab
and
infrastructure
improvement.
So
one
thing
we
have
paid
for
in
the
past
couple
years
is
our
community
wi-fi
project
out
of
this
pot
of
funding.
T
And
for
hopwa
we
pay
rental
assistance
with
that
funding.
It's
a
pretty
narrow
use.
T
C
Thank
you
reagan,
thanks
to
you
and
kristen,
and
everybody
on
the
team
for
your
hard
work.
Let's
go
to
the
public
for
this
public
hearing
I
do.
I
have
to
declare
the
public
hearing
is
open.
B
All
right,
blair
beekman
here
thanks
for
the
presentation
by
reagan,
I
it's
my
feeling
it's
the
time,
to
try
to
kind
of
remind
yourselves
that
you
know
with
federal
help.
You
know
and
reagan's
reporting
how
the
how
you
know
to
how
these
federal
programs
are
going
to
be
dealing
with
with
homelessness,
unhoused
issues
in
san
jose
that
the
federal
agencies
have
been
passing
along
a
lot
of
money
to
state
agencies
and
wanting
them.
You
know
state
budgets
to
to
put
them
in
state
plans.
B
B
We
can
have
interesting
new
pots
of
money
to
be
dealing
with
in
our
future
and
we
can
be
asking
about
and
asking
for
each
year
and
for
as
important
as
the
home
key
program
has
been
and
interesting
has
been.
We
really
we
can't
shy
away
and
forget
that
you
know
this
money
that
we're
building
and
growing
right
now
should
really
be
with
the
intention
to
build.
B
You
know
the
future
of
our
own
house
system
how
we're
going
to
help
the
unhoused
in
the
future,
and
we
can't
be
shy
of
of
the
good
subsidy
programs
that
can
be
available
for
programs.
We've
already
been
practicing
and
establishing
for
years
before
homekey,
and
we
have
to
learn
how
to
apply
this
sort
of
good
money
now
available
to
you
know
already
existing
programs.
We
know
how
to
do
well
and
we
can
just
simply
subsidize
people
much
better
and
easier.
Now.
B
A
good
luck
in
in
making
that
a
more
open,
accessible,
subject
matter
for
ourselves
and
good
luck
with
the
wi-fi
things
you
know,
as
always,
that
openness
and
accountability
and
open
public
policy
is
an
important
factor
in
the
future
of
those
policies.
C
C
I
believe
we
just
need
a
motion
to
receive
the
rep.
Oh
no.
We
need
to
actually
implement.
Is
that
right.
C
C
Just
close
the
public
hearing
and
move
on
all
right,
let's
do
that.
The
hearing
is
hereby
closed.
Thank
you
reagan.
We'll
move
on
to.
We
got
more
housing
coming
though
8.2
is
a
report
on
the
status
california's
covet,
19
recovery
act,
state
covet,
19,
rental
assistance,
program
and
implementation
of
local
eviction,
diversion
and
settlement
program.
C
T
You
can
see
here
that
ab-832
lays
out
three
periods.
The
first
period
march,
2020
to
august,
is
defined
as
the
protected
time
period.
A
tenant
with
unpaid
rent
from
this
first
period
can
never
be
evicted
based
on
that
unpaid
rent,
so
long
as
they
signed
and
submitted
a
declaration
of
cova
19
related
financial
distress
to
their
landlord.
T
Tenants
having
signed
and
submitted
a
declaration
of
cova
19
related
financial
distress
to
their
landlord,
and
they
had
to
pay
at
least
25
of
their
total
rent
due
and
then
the
last
period,
which
is
the
period
we're
in
now,
is
called
the
recovery
period
and
tenants
with
unpaid
rent.
T
So
the
limited
protections
for
recovery
period
do
end
on
march
31st
and
tenants
cannot
apply
for
rental
assistance
for
april
22
april
22
and
on
through
the
state
program.
So
the
state
program
is
going
to
stop
taking
new
applications
on
march
31st
after
april.
First,
only
tenants
with
approved
rent
relief
applications
can
seek
relief
from
unlawful
detainer
actions
based
on
non-payment
or
the
tenant
could
also
pay
for
a
40-day
stay
of
eviction
by
depositing
per
diem
rent
with
the
court
and
in
the
meantime
the
state
could
approve
their
rental
application.
T
So
there
is
money.
Is
the
good
news.
T
So
there
are
over
7
000
san
jose
households,
waiting
for
payment
from
the
state
by
our
estimates,
the
state
processes
and
pays
200
to
250
applications
a
week,
and
the
state
has
told
us
several
times
that
they
are
not
adding
any
capacity
or
any
ability
to
process
and
approve
payments
faster.
And
so
with
that,
we
estimate
it
will
take
them
seven
to
eight
months
to
pay
out
the
existing
7000
applications
that
are
there.
T
S
Hi
everyone
mayor
council
members-
this
is
my
first
time
so.
S
I
just
want
to
highlight
so
the
7
000
applications
that
we're
talking
about
on
this
slide
are
tenants.
You've
applied
for
rent
after
october
1..
That's
the
recovery
period
that
they
don't
have
any
protections
on
april
1,
except
for
an
approved
application.
S
So
this
is
the
problem
we're
trying
to
solve
these
roughly
7
000
applicants
that
could
be
at
risk
of
facing
an
unlawful
detainer
eviction.
Lawsuit
come
april,
1
through
no
fault
of
their
own
they've,
applied
for
rent
relief.
It's
just
the
state
taking
time
so
way
back
when,
in
the
beginning
of
the
rent
relief
program,
there
were
two
there's
the
local
program
and
the
state
program,
and
we
were
using
era
one
the
first
round
of
funding
direct
allocations
with
our
local
program
in
collaboration
with
the
county.
S
We
had
to
close
that
program
as
you're
aware
and
it
turns
out
through
duplication
and
all
sorts
of
other
things.
There's
some
money
left
over,
so
we've
explored
and
confirmed
with
treasury
that
we
can
try
to
use
this
three
and
a
half
million
for
san
jose,
but
I
think
a
total
of
10
million
with
city
and
county
use
this
these
era,
one
funds
to
intervene
in
when
they
in
a
tenant
is
facing
an
eviction
lawsuit.
S
So
we've
worked
with
the
court,
the
county
and
other
partners
on
how
we
can
make
this
work.
First,
targeting
landlords
that
have
filed
evictions
where
tenants
have
not
received
an
approval,
so
this
would
be
for
rent
occurring
after
october.
One
and
either
side
has
a
rent
relief
application
pending.
S
In
order
to
do
this,
we
need
the
tenant
to
be
able
to
pay
current
rent
after
april
1.
We
understand
some
people
are
still
struggling,
and
sometimes
a
condition
of
this
settlement
can
be
just
more
time
for
the
tenant
to
work
with
the
homelessness
prevention
system
and
get
into
a
more
stable
housing
situation.
S
So
how
did
will
this
work?
Our
first
tactic
of
intervention
is
day
of
court.
So
there's
two
mornings
each
week
where
the
unlawful,
detainer
or
eviction
calendar
is
heard.
We
are
already
there
with
our
rental
assistance
navigators
to
support
litigants
in
looking
up
status
of
payments.
They
work
with
the
mediators,
the
landlord
attorneys
and
the
and
including
the
bench
officer
to
identify
tenants
and
landlords
where
our
assistance
can
be
helpful
in
april
1.
We
can
shift
to
identifying
these
these
matters.
S
Our
staff
would
work
with
the
landlord
tenant
to
download
their
applications
from
the
state
we
and
the
county
would
review
the
applications
to
confirm
eligibility
and,
as
I
said,
the
landlord
and
tenant
would
sign
an
agreement
and,
after
the
review,
the
county
would
process
the
payment.
We're
already
have
worked
with
the
state
on
this
program
and
how
we
can
avoid
any
duplication
of
federal
funds.
We
have
talked
to
tenant
attorneys,
landlord
attorneys,
the
mediator
in
court
and
the
bench
officer,
and
everyone
is
highly
supportive
of
this
and
willing
to
participate.
S
So,
as
I
said
so
on
the
city
side,
this
is
a
collaboration
with
the
county.
We
will
work
with
landlords
and
attorneys.
We've
already
had
conversations
with
at
least
two
prominent
landlord
attorneys
who
who
have
a
bulk
of
the
caseload.
They
are
already
identifying
cases
they
have
pending.
That
might
be
appropriate.
S
We
also
just
through
the
eviction
help
center,
can
identify
what
tenants
need
help
completing
their
application
when
they
receive
an
unlawful
detainer
and
with
at
the
city
for
properties
that
are
covered
under
the
tenant,
protection,
ordinance
and
three-day
notices
to
pay
or
quit,
and
unlawful
detainers
lawsuits
are
actually
uploaded.
So
we
can
contact
those
landlords
directly
and
see
if
this
situation,
if
they'd
be
agreeable
to
us,
processing
the
application
and
them
dismissing
the
action.
S
We
also
help
tenants
already
identify
I
mean
if
they
receive
an
unlawful
detainer.
We
help
tenants.
Let
the
state
program
know
so
their
their
application
can
be
prioritized.
S
So
that's
another
level
of
intervention
that
may
not
involve
our
funding
on
the
county
side,
they're
working
with
the
state
to
get
a
list
of
the
most
non-responsive
tenants.
So
these
are
tenants
who
maybe
started
the
application
and
there's
been
multiple
attempts
to
contact
them
by
the
state
program,
but
it
just
they
were
never
able
to
so,
rather
than
extend
their
resources
any
further.
S
The
counties
offered
to
take
that
list
and
try,
through
their
methods,
to
reach
out
to
the
tenants
and
get
them
engaged
in
the
process
and
completing
the
application,
and
the
goal
of
this
would
be
have
more
completed.
Applications
to
avoid
eviction.
S
Just
talking
a
little
bit
about
what
going
on
to
what
our
eviction
prevention
help
centers
have
been
doing,
we've
been
connecting
people
with
legal
support,
both
with
our
on-site
presence
of
law
foundation.
In
silicon
valley.
We
also
have
people
assisting
virtually
through
bay
area
legal.
S
We
are
still
in
discussions
with
santa
clara
university
about
beginning
a
law
clinic
to
shift
some
of
the
more
light
touch,
legal
tasks
to
law,
students
supervised
by
santa
clara
university
staff
rather
than
law,
foundation
and
very
illegal,
and
the
other
legal
aid
organizations
which
are
under
are
having
tremendous
staffing
and
capacity
issues
right
now.
S
The
grant
went
to
the
second
level
of
an
on-site
interview
and
the
decision
will
likely
be
made
in
early
april.
This
would
be
what
we
proposed,
along
with
the
court,
was
a
collaborative
eviction,
diversion
program
which
would
first
start
out
as
a
weekly
workshop
for
litigants
to
go,
get
connected
to
all
services,
both
landlords
and
tenants.
S
We
are
working
with
the
court
and
county
and
partners
to
try
and
do
this,
no
matter
if
the
grant
gets
funded
or
not.
If
that
workshop
is
not
successful
it
will.
The
court
will
then
implement
a
collaborative
housing
court
like
what
was
discussed
free
pandemic.
S
S
We
are
going
to
pivot
to
provide
more
legal
education
and
referrals.
We
found
that
one
of
the
biggest
things
is
people,
don't
know
what
documents
mean.
We've
had
number
numerous
people
come
in
with
an
unlawful
detainer
for
papers
and
summons,
and
have
no
idea
the
seriousness
of
what
that
is
and
how
quickly
you
have
to
respond.
So
some
robust
outreach
and
education
not
just
to
tenants
themselves
but
to
grassroots
partners
where
tenants
may
go
to
for
help.
We
want
to
make
sure
everybody
knows
what
papers
they're
looking
at
and
where
to
go
for
help.
S
S
C
Thank
you
and
thank
you
emily
for
thanking
all
of
them.
It's
been
a
great
collaboration,
dealing
with
a
very,
very
hard
situation,
not
made
any
easier,
given
the
very
slow
pace
of
getting
these
checks
out,
and
I
appreciate
the
solution
that
you
all
have
worked
together
on
building
around
a
collaborative
eviction
diversion
program,
and
I
think
this
could
be
a
great
model
for
others
as
well.
Let's
go
to
the
public.
A
A
We
cannot
expect
to
move
forward
in
this
time
when
many
of
our
struggling
to
get
out
of
the
hall,
the
extremely
high
risk
of
increasing
evictions
filings
and
mass
displacement
should
serve
as
a
serious
warning
to
what
will
happen
if
we
know
if
we
do
not
reinstate
the
moratorium
and
provide
cover
for
tenants
to
continue
to
be
impacted
by
this
pandemic.
I
we
urge
you
to
please
move
forward
with
the
recommendation
before
you
from
council
member
carrasco.
A
Canvassing
every
day,
with
a
group
of
promotoras
and
different
neighborhoods
of
san
jose,
to
inform
tenants
about
their
rights
and
about
the
state
rental
relief.
We
have
seen
the
need
in
those
communities.
The
extremely
high
risk
of
increased
addiction
and
mass
explaining
after
aba
32
expires
to
serve
as
a
serious
warning
to
what
will
happen
if
we
do
not
reinstate
protections
and
provide.
B
A
However,
many
people
from
our
communities
are
still
trying
to
recover.
We
as
luna,
are
also
assisting
folks
who
apply
for
the
calvin
19
state
rent
relief.
Unfortunately,
the
status
processing
applications
choose
low
and
tenants
have
to
wait
between
two
to
four
months
to
get
an
answer.
If
they
will
get
the
assistance
to
cover
past
day,
we
cannot
expect
to
move.
A
G
We
are
also
assisting
individuals
with
applying
for
rent
the
state
rental
relief
who
had
applied
months
ago
and
are
still
have
not
received
assistance.
They
are
constantly
living
in
stress
of
being
evicted
come
april.
First,
the
extremely
high
risk
of
increased
eviction
filings
and
mass
displacement
should
serve
as
a
serious
warning
to
what
will
happen
if
we
do
not
reinstate
a
morenatorium
and
provide
cover
to
tenants
who
continue
to
be
impacted
by
this
pandemic.
G
D
K
A
K
A
Cross
goes
memo.
Sorry.
Last
time
we
faced
an
eviction
moratorium
deadline.
The
council
took
action
to
protect
our
community
members
without
knowing
what
the
state
might
do.
We
ask
you:
we
ask
that
you
do
that
again.
A
D
A
Yes,
good
afternoon,
mayor
and
council,
my
name
is
wascar
castro
working
partnerships.
We
would
like
to
express
our
support
and
recommendations
laid
out
in
councilmember
across
those
numbers
calling
for
a
reinstatement.
No
san
jose
is
a
victim
oratorium
to
be
enacted
april
1st.
While
we
understand
that
we
are
moving
towards
recovery
from
this
pandemic,
our
community
will
be
feeling
many
lasting
impacts,
such
as
economic
ones,
which
will
take
a
much
longer
amount
of
time.
We
appreciate
staff's
efforts
through
the
eviction
diversion
program.
That
is
an
extremely
important
part
of
this
conversation.
A
However,
on
top
of
those
efforts,
we
need
to
provide
cover
for
renters
that
will
still
need
protections,
as
they
continue
to
deal
with
various
levels
of
instability
with
much
of
these
rental
assistance
dollars
yet
to
be
dispersed.
We
have
tenants
that
have
incurred
thousands
of
debt
and
will
be
an
extremely
vulnerable
state
after
march
31st.
A
I
know
that
we
are
dealing
with
finding
findings
for
supporting
and
reenactment
of
a
moratorium.
Reinstatement
excuse
me,
but
we
have
local
jurisdictions,
such
as
san
francisco
and
los
angeles
county
that
have
moved
and
reinstated
their
own
moratoriums,
with
the
findings
that
not
having
these
in
place
will
only
affect
renters
impact
them
and
put
it
put
folks
at
a
higher
risk
of
displacement
and
eviction
with
that
being
said,
we
urge
council
to
please
support
the
recommendations
laid
out
in
council
member
crosstalk's
memo.
A
B
Thank
you.
Thank
you
for
the
words
of
the
previous
speakers
and
I
thank
you
that
you
are
trying
to
continue
the
efforts
of
the
eviction
moratorium
process
that
can
really
help
be
of
help
to
tenants
a
lot
and
and
of
owners
too,
and
it's
been
quite
a
process.
We've
all
been
going
through
the
past
few
years.
Good
luck
in
keeping
up
the
efforts
to
to
work
for
tenants
rights
issues
at
this
time,
the
the
covet
variants
around
the
world
are
on
an
increase
right
now.
B
It
may
not
be
huge
massive
numbers,
but
it's
significant
that
we
I
we.
I
think
we
have
to
really
be
on
guard
in
this
country
still,
and
we
have
to
continue
the
the
ideas
of
mass
use
and
just
respecting
social
distancing
ideas
and
be
wary,
be
careful
and
having
these
eviction
moratorium
options
just
really
helps
us
at
this
time
and
just
to
thank
you
in
this
work
and
effort,
and
thank
you
again.
D
A
Good
afternoon
my
name
is
gonzalez.
I
am,
I
live
in
the
medford
community,
but
I
am
also
working
with
somos
mayfair.
I
am
here
to
urge
you
to
pass
a
memorandum
of
like
of
council
member
magdalena
carrasco.
As
a
community
member
and
member
that
work
with
community,
I
have
seen
firsthand
how
cobit
has
affected
our
families
not
only
with
rent
and
and
their
employees,
but
also
emotional
and
mental
health,
cutting
right
now
and
and
putting
our
in
a
in
our
community
in
a
more
hardship,
hardship
situation
is
only
gonna.
A
It's
only
going
to
damage
our
community
a
lot
more,
it's
going
to
damage
our
students
and
our
youth
that
are
trying
to
make
us
and
come
out
as
as
normal
as
possible
from
a
two-year
lockdown.
Basically,
so
I
would
urge
all
of
you
to
please
consider
the
mental
health,
the
social,
emotional
well-being
of
our
communities
and
our
children
and
youth
that
right
now
are
are
in
your
hands.
A
Please
respect
the
memorandum
pass
the
memorandum
and
vote
in
in
favor
of
our
community
that
it's
the
most
vulnerable
right
now,
based
on
on
the
relief.
That
is
not
it's
not
because
they
don't
want
to
or
can't
or
one
page,
because
they
can't
and
this
process
is
taking
way
too
slow.
It's
way
too
slow
to
to
support
all
of
us.
Thank
you
and
have
a
really
good
evening.
M
Hello,
I'm
sandy
perry
and
I'm
speaking
for
the
affordable
housing
network.
As
we
heard
in
the
staff
report,
there's
7
000
people
who
are
at
risk
of
eviction
on
april
1st
because
their
application
for
assistance
has
not
been
approved.
We
support
the
eviction
diversion.
A
M
But
we
also
support
an
extension
of
the
eviction
moratorium
in
order
to
protect
the
tenants
that
are
at
risk
and
that
are
that
are
falling
through
the
cracks
of
this
incredibly
bureaucratic
and
difficult
process
of
receiving
rental
assistance.
San
jose
is
already
in
a
crisis
of
homelessness
and
displacement
since
before
the
pandemic-
and
it
looks
like
you
know-
that's
shaping
up
to
be
one
of
our
biggest
election
issues
in
the
election
coming
up.
So
how
we
respond
to
this
april.
First
crisis
is
going
to
play
into
that.
M
Every
single
eviction
of
a
of
a
family
is
a
humanitarian
tragedy
and
we
need
to
do
everything
possible
to
avoid
it.
We
support
council
member
carrasco's
memo
to
reinstate
the
eviction
moratorium
for
six
months.
This
is
a
chance
for
us
to
be
proactive
and
avoid
a
further
worsening
of
our
housing
crisis
in
silicon
valley.
Thank
you
very
much.
B
G
Furthermore,
I
think
what
this
housing
department
is
doing
around
evictions
payments
is
a
good
start
to
kind
of
address
some
of
the
people
who
are
looking
for
their
rent
to
be
paid,
but
again
I
we
would
strongly
oppose
any
extension
of
the
eviction
moratorium.
Thank
you.
C
C
C
D
C
C
I
C
A
C
And
so
what
we'll
do
is
we'll
have
her
talk
and
then
at
the
conclusion
of
her
statements,
then,
if,
if
you
could
offer
a
an
interpretation
that
would
be
helpful.
Thank
you
very
much.
S
K
C
We'll
allow
her
to
go
through
her
whole
statement
and
then
we'll
come
to
you.
Okay,
unless
you
think
it's
easier
for
us
to
stop.
Ask
her
to
stop
after
each
sentence.
G
Well,
we
are
coming
out
of
the
coveted
pandemic
we
are
concerned
and,
and
folks
are
scared
and
concerned
that
they'll
be
evicted.
G
This
is
why
we
need
council
to
support
what
I'm
assuming
councilmember
carrasco
is
asking
in
her
memorandum.
G
A
C
All
right:
let's
go
back
to
the
council
council
member
mayhem.
I
Oh,
thank
you.
I
did
not
expect
to
be
first
well.
I
want
to
thank
sarah
garcia
on
my
team
for
the
jumping
in.
Thank
you,
sarah.
I
really
appreciate
it.
I
I
just
had
a
couple
of
questions
and
then
I
I
may
want
to
circle
back
as
I
collect
my
thoughts,
but
I
I
did.
I
was
maybe
confused
by
the
preemption
section
and
the
staff
memo,
and
I
don't
know
if
the
question
is
for
our
housing
staff
or
nora.
I
I
D
A
Good
afternoon
council,
this
is
chris
alexander
city
attorney's
office.
So
the
preemption
that
I
believe
is
addressed
in
the
memo
has
to
do
with
state
law
provision
that
was
passed
under
ab
3088
and
then
subsequently
in
and
further
amendments
to
the
provisions.
But
it's
under
the
code
of
civil
procedure,
and
it
basically
requires
that
local
jurisdictions
not
regulate
a
period
of
time
of
rent
with
regard
to
eviction.
A
So
there's
a
two-year
period
under
the
statute
that
says
that
local
jurisdictions
can't
regulate
the
grounds
for
eviction
based
on
that
period
of
time
of
rent.
That
period
of
time
is
from
march
2020
through
march
2022
at
the
end
of
this
month,
and
so
that,
I
believe,
is
what
was
in
the
memo
that
was
trying
to
clarify
for
the
council
to
be
clear
about.
I
A
Recommendation
one
one,
a
I'm
sorry
right,
so
it
it
indicates
to
reinstate
the
moratorium
for
six
months.
That
would
apply
to
those
that
have
a
coveted
19
related
impact.
A
I
I
Okay,
thank
you.
I
just
wanted
to
make
sure
I
understood
what
was
and
wasn't
legally
possible
and
then
just
back
on
the
the
underlying
the
staff
recommendation,
which
I
appreciate
by
the
way
I
clearly
should
have
started
by
saying
you
know,
I
think
the
the
slow
processing
at
the
state
level
is
a
huge
problem,
and
the
last
thing
we
want
to
see
is
hundreds
of
people,
if
not
more
being
evicted
without
the
opportunity
to
have
their
application,
reviewed
and
hopefully
accepted.
T
So
I'll
start
and
then
emily
can
add
anything
that
I've
missed,
but
we
would
essentially,
we
would
be
using
in
our
proposed
diversion
program.
We
would
be
using
u.s
treasury
funds,
we
call
it
era,
one
which
is
emergency
rental
assistance,
and
that
is
actually
what
the
state
that
is,
a
source
that
the
state
is
using
for
the
state
program
as
well,
and
so
there
are
restrictions
within
treasury
for
15
months
is
the
maximum
amount
of
rental
assistance.
T
A
household
can
receive,
for
example,
so
we
would
work
with
the
household,
a
tenant
or
landlord,
whoever
applied
to
doubt
literally
download
their
state
application
and
turn
it
into.
I'm
oversimplifying
there's
a
lot
of
details
in
the
weeds,
but
we
would
turn
their
state
application
essentially
into
an
application
to
a
local
program,
and
we
would
be
required
to
meet
the
same
regulations
by
the
u.s
treasury
in
terms
of
amounts
and
documentation
and
paperwork.
T
I
That
could
be
unfortunate
if
we
begin
this
process,
thereby
well,
I
guess
we're
not
actually
reducing
or
extending
the
date
with
the
staff
recommendation,
we're
not
extending
the
date
beyond
which
someone
could
be
evicted
or
we're
not
effective
like
we're
not
impacting
the
eviction
moratorium
are
we.
This
would
only
be
a
voluntary
yeah,
okay,
okay,
then
that
was
actually
my
last
question,
so
I
guess
I'm
fully
supportive
of
the
staff
recommendation.
I
do
I'd
like
to
hear
my
colleagues
questions
and
comments
on
my
colleagues
memo,
but
thank
you.
That's
it
for
me.
C
L
Thank
you
mayor,
and
I
appreciate
that
I
I
I
get
the
protocol,
so
it's
fine
and
and
actually
councilmember
mahan
asked
one
of
the
questions
that
I
had,
because
I
think
that
there
was
some
confusion
about
state
law
prohibiting
us
from
extending
the
moratorium,
so
so
just
just
to
clarify.
L
I
I
wanted
to
ask
staff
just
one
more
time
about
extending
the
moratorium
and
what
our
abilities
are
beyond
march
31st.
T
So
I'll
I'll
start
and
then
emily
or
chris
can
jump
in
but
going
forward.
We
did
not
recommend
an
eviction
mort
for
him
under
an
urgency
ordinance
because
you
would
have
to
make
particular
findings
or
conditions
that
were
present.
So,
for
example,
when
the
city
first
enacted
a
moratorium
in
march
of
2020,
there
were
certain
conditions
that
existed.
T
We
were
under
a
shelter
and
place
order.
There
were
businesses
that
were
closed
by
mandate
covet
19
cases
were
rising,
so
there
there
was
a
an
urgency
to
protect
public
health,
and
so
we
don't
think
that
those
conditions
are
present
now
to
enact
a
moratorium
under
an
urgency
ordinance
going
forward,
and
I
will
let
nora
or
chris
correct
anything
or
add
to
anything
that
I
just
said.
A
Chris
alexander
again
from
the
city
attorney's
office,
so
under
the
initial
moratoriums,
we
did
include
certain
findings
that
existed
at
the
time
to
substantiate,
as
an
urgency
measure,
passing
an
ordinance
putting
in
place
a
moratorium,
and
that
was
continued
to
be
found
every
time
that
we
returned
to
the
council
and
proposed
it
under
this
time.
A
If
it's,
I
think
it's
staff
at
this
point
due
to
where
the
recommendations
were
for
an
eviction
diversion
program
hasn't
put
together
any
facts
that
support
the
current
passing
of
a
new
urgency
ordinance.
However,
I
think
it's
possible
that,
if
those
facts
existed,
we
could
do
that
if
there's
the
votes
to
pass
it
pursuant
to
the
city,
charter's
requirements.
L
Thank
you.
Thank
you
so
much
jackie.
I
know
that
that
you
were
here
when
I
first
took
office
and
back
in
in
2015.
L
Did
staff
not
bring
up
an
urgency
ordinance
based
on
the
aro?
Wasn't
it
framed
in
that
way?
This
was
way
before
covet.
Obviously,
and
there
were
some
changes
that
were
taking
place,
I
thought
there
was
a
an
urgency
ordinance
it
didn't
pass.
We
had
a
very
different
council
at
that
time
and
for
the
fear
of
of
a
massive
displacement
brought
on
through
eviction.
D
Good
afternoon
council
member
rachel
vanderveen
deputy
director
of
the
housing
department,
so
yes
councilmember,
you
are
recalling
correctly
so
in
2015,
when
we
passed
our
tenant
protection
ordinance,
we
did
pass
an
urgency
ordinance.
D
The
reason
for
that
was
because
we
were
concerned
that,
because
of
the
nature
of
the
tenant
protection
ordinance,
which
provided
protections
against
eviction,
that
without
passing
it
with
urgency,
which
meant
that
it
took
place
immediately-
and
we
didn't
have
to
have
a
first
reading
second
reading
and
then
30
days
to
follow
that
that
would
provide
protection
against
evictions
that
may
have
moved
forward
just
because
the
legislation
was
would
have
been
put
in
place.
T
So
at
that
time
we
did
take
action
with
urgency.
L
So
so
I
guess
I'm
just
trying
to
understand
under
what
conditions
or
what
findings
we're
able
to
bring
forward
in
urgency
ordinance.
L
T
So
we
can't,
as
we
said,
we
can't
legislate
council
member
for
that
back
owed,
rent
or
people
who
are
waiting
for
the
state
to
process
their
payment,
but
going
forward.
If
you
wanted
to
enact
an
urgency
ordinance
for
not
rent
due
before
april
1st,
we
would
have
to
make
certain
findings
of
urgency
and
what
those
findings
might
be.
T
It
could
be
like
economic
findings
if
people
are
not
back
to
work
if
there
are
still
covert
related
impacts.
Perhaps.
L
And
that's
the
that's
what
I'm
laying
out!
I
understand!
Pre-April.
First,
we've
got
that
covered.
I
understand
that,
but
going
forward
after
march
31st.
L
We
still
understand
that
there
are
many
folks
that
that
are
dealing
with
the
economic
impacts
of
covet
and
what
was
the
shutdown
and
getting
back
to
work
and
catching
up
on
their
whatever
it
is
that
they
had
to
catch
up
on.
L
L
We
we
know
that
there
is
our
communities,
I'm
representing
one
of
those
communities
who
who
is
highly
impacted,
regardless
of
covet
pandemic
next
emergency
and
next
natural
disaster.
These
families
are
struggling,
and
this
is
why
it
was
ground
zero.
When
we
were
looking
at
infections
and
death
among
our
covet-infected
families,
because
they
were
living
in
overcrowded
conditions
as
it
was
as
it
were.
But
what
I'm
referring
to
are
those
families
who
are
impacted
by
covet
related
situations,
so
they've
lost
their
job.
L
They
had
to
close
down
their
businesses
they're,
trying
to
reopen
their
business
they're,
trying
to
get
their
clientele
back
through
those
doors.
People
are
are
getting
back
to
work
or
they
finally
found
a
job.
Maybe
that
can
pay
them
enough
to
try
and
support
their
family
or
if
it
was
a
family
who
mom
dad
and
and
their
18
or
19
year
old
son
was
helping
out.
You
know
all
three
of
them
aren't
necessarily
working
or
finding
jobs
at
the
same
time.
So
they're,
slowly
getting
back
to
work.
L
My
concern
is,
is
that
these
are
still
families
that
may
be
impacted
by
the
results
of
the
pandemic,
so
moving
forward
besides
the
cost
of
living.
Are
we
not
concerned
that
we
still
have
families
who
are
reeling
from
the
covet
impacts
and
how
they're
going
to
to
resolve
their
economic
situation,
and
wouldn't
that
in
in
our
mind's
eye,
be
justification
enough
or
findings
to
call
for
an
urgency
ordinance.
T
I
I
think,
we're
not
again
disagreeing
with
you,
council,
member,
that
there
are
very
vulnerable
families
out
there
who
are
suffering.
I
think
there's
just
concern
about
whether
or
not
if
we
were
to
enact
a
moratorium
going
forward.
T
Whether
or
not
those
findings
are
strong
enough
that
we
would
not
be
put
at
risk
where
that
moratorium
would
be
challenged.
D
Council,
member
costco,
this
is
norah
freeman.
Thank
you
for
your
questions
and
I
I
think
one
of
the
issues
is
that
you're
talking
about
a
an
extension
or
a
moratorium
that
would
last
for
six
months.
D
San
francisco,
for
example,
is
through
the
term
of
the
proclamation
of
emergency
related
to
covet
19.
That
is,
is
probably
easier
to
make
the
findings
around
and
to
defend
rather
than
a
a
set
period
of
time.
So
that's
one
of
the
issues
that
we
see
with
this
should
council
want
to
move
forward
with
your
recommendation.
A
Yes,
I
I
agree
with
nora
that
that
would
be
probably
the
best
approach,
because
there
are
findings
to
support
the
continued
state
of
the
declared
state
of
emergency.
So
that
would
be.
You
know,
one
of
the
reasons
why
I
think
and
and
what
we
should
connect
it
to
if
we
were
to
to
pass
a
new
urgency
ordinance.
A
I
think
that
there
can
be
facts
that
we
can
research
to
determine
whether
or
not
we
think
there's
a
basis
for
an
urgency
measure.
We
can
bring
it
to
the
council
and
the
council
can
weigh
those
reasons
and
make
a
decision
whether
they
feel
that
there
is
an
urgency
to
pass
an
ordinance
and,
and
as
the
city
charter
requires
it,
it
does
require
eight
affirmative
votes.
So
it's
certainly
possible
to
bring
that
forward.
If
the
council
would
like
us
to
return.
L
Thank
you.
You
know
there.
I
I
believe
nadia
from
the
law
foundation
is
still
on.
I'm
not
sure
I
I
don't
see
her,
but
I
was
told
that
she
may
still
be
on
tony.
I
like
to
ask
her.
G
T
Issue
is
that
there's
56
of
of
san
jose
residents,
who
are
still
pending
rent
assistance
and
come
april
first,
they
could
be.
G
Evicted,
and
so
I
do
think
that
there
are
facts
out
there
to
support
the
city
enacting
something
short
term.
While
we
have
a
coveted
emergency
in
place,
while
rent
money
is
still
getting
out
there,
we
know
that
it's
been
slow
to
get
out
there,
and
so
you
know
like
we're.
We're
asking
we're
really
at
this
point,
asking
the
city
council
to
do
something
to
be
able
to
take
to
take
those
people
who
are
still
awaiting
rent
assistance
who
come
april
first,
like
they
very
well,
could
be
evicted.
And
really.
G
This
has
been
a
lifesaver
for
us
in
our
community.
G
T
T
L
T
L
T
This
is
reagan
with
the
housing
department
just
wanted
to
piggyback
on
something
that
nadia
said
that,
while
there
are
thousands
of
people
waiting
to
be
paid
by
the
state,
if
we
enact
a
moratorium
going
forward,
they
could
still
be
evicted
for
that
back
owed
rent.
So
it's
not
not
necessarily
solving
the
problem.
S
L
No
I'll
I'll
I'll
come
back
to
it.
Okay,.
Q
Thank
you
just
just
a
question
to
clarify
on
that:
okay
I'll
let
paralysts
go
first,
easy.
E
Okay,
sorry,
you
I
didn't
know
if
you
were
calling
on
me
or
a
counselor,
so
I
appreciate
that
I
you
know
my
office
was
very
interested
in
working
through
this
as
well
and
trying
to
see
where
we
could
provide
some
assistance,
because
I
agree:
there's
thousands
of
people
that,
for
nothing
other
than
just
a
time,
delay
by
the
state,
are
very
nervous,
and
you
know
and
concerned
about,
what's
going
to
happen
going
forward
in
april,
where,
where
I
was
concerned
that
we
were
sort
of
you
know
thinking,
we
could
provide
them
some
assistance,
but
ultimately
not
is
what
basically,
what
reagan
just
stated,
which
was
that
if
we
create
a
new
eviction
moratorium
under
an
urgency
ordinance
starting
april
1
that
it
doesn't
actually
apply
to
anybody
who
is
potentially
in
that
waiting
list,
the
thousands
of
you
know,
people
that
that
need
to
you
know,
get
their
their
back
to
rental
assistance,
and
I
just
wanted
to
see
reagan
if
you
could
expand
on
describing
sort
of.
E
S
This
is
emily
hislop.
The
reason
that's
the
case
is
because
we're
preempted
from
legislating
anything
that
has
to
do
with
rent
that
accrued
between
march
2020
and
march
2021,
and
that
doesn't
go
away
and
april
1.
The
only
thing
that
would
prevent
the
eviction
of
a
tenant
with
a
pending
rent
relief
application
is
an
approved
application.
S
E
It
does
clarify
it
for
me,
I
was
I
was
clear
on
it
previously.
I
had
some
time
to
engage
with
with
yourself
in
our
housing
department
over
the
last
week
was
the
last
week
to
understand
what
the
opportunities
were
here
and
and
then
understood
here.
E
What
this
challenge
was
that
you
know
I
I
also
was
considering
that
we
could
do
something
to
come
in
and
enact
or
further
a
eviction
moratorium
that
would
help
pre
april
first,
but
recognizing
we're
preempted
by
the
state,
because
we
didn't
have
a
an
ordinance
in
place
prior
to
the
states,
and
so
we
are
now
preempted
by
them,
and
so
I
I
understood
that.
The
only
thing
then,
that
these
tenants
could
look
to
for
support
is
essentially
what
staff
is
presenting
today.
E
Is
that
correct
the
staff
direction
is,
is
looking
directly
at
that
because
of
the
preemption,
and
if
we
approve
the
staff
recommendation,
that's
sort
of
the
best
tool
and
regardless,
if
we
have
a
new
eviction
moratorium
starting
up
for
force,
we
would
still
need
what
staff
is
is
suggesting
to
help
tenants
that
are
in
the
waiting
list.
Correct.
E
Okay,
so
so
we
could
do
we
could
we
could
potentially
explore
both,
which
I
think
is
what
what
obviously
councilmember
carrasco
is
suggesting,
but
it
just
doesn't
necessarily
I
don't.
I
want
to
make
sure
it's
clear
for
not
only
my
colleagues
but,
more
importantly,
I
think,
for
the
residents
that
we
can't
free
up
what
the
state's
doing
so
really.
E
We
need
to
pass
what
the
staff
is
suggesting,
because
that's
the
best
tools
that
we
can
put
in
place
to
help
people
that
have
a
back
do
rent
and
then
I
think
we
can
discuss,
because
I
do
think
there's
some
merits
as
councilmember
carrasco
has
has
already
highlighted.
E
I
think
you
know
nobody
is
going
to
deny
it
it's
extremely
challenging
pandemic
or
not
for
some
of
our
families
to
be
able
to
afford
rent
and
there
are
still
lingering
impacts
because
of
the
the
pandemic,
and
so
I
do
think,
there's
a
you
know.
There
merits
a
good
discussion
on
what
we
can
do
going
forward.
E
My
only
question
in
in
that
regard,
it
sounds
like
we
may
have
to
come
back
on
that
discussion,
but
it
would
be
what
happens
after
the
six
months
or
after
whatever
time
that
that
one
might
expire.
I
don't
believe
this.
The
rent
relief
funding
can
be
utilized
for
those
time
periods.
Is
that
correct.
E
Yeah
the
question
was:
if
we
do
extend
the
eviction
moratorium
starting
april
1,
let's
say
it
does
go
for
six
months,
just
for
hypothetically
speaking
after
those
six
months,
can
those
tenants
tap
into
any
of
these
state
resources
or
federal
resources?
Can
they
tap
in
any
of
those
resources
to
help
pay?
Now
that
rent
or
no
is
that
is
all
of
that
funding
is
subjected
to
the
time
period
that
the
state
had
set
up
correct.
T
Yes,
so
the
treasury
has
outlined
the
spending
dates
and
so
era.
One,
for
example,
has
to
be
spent
by
september.
E
Yeah,
the
other,
the
gist
of
the
question
there
is
is:
would
these
residents
have
any
you
know,
could
could
they
tap
into
any
of
these
resources
after
our
extended
our
hypothetical
extended
eviction
moratorium
ends,
and
I
think
you
answered
it
that
the
state
resources
know,
but
maybe
up
until
september
there
could
be
some
era
funds,
but
that
that
that
likely
would
be
it
right
there.
Wouldn't
there
there
there
isn't
another
source
of
money
that
we
could
tap
into,
so
these
individuals
could
be
then
facing
eviction
whenever
this
extended
moratorium
ends.
T
E
Okay,
that
was
that
was
just
another
concern
for
me
in
discussing
this,
because
I
recognized
that
the
funding
was
expiring
and
that
there
likely
weren't
going
to
be
any
new
sources
of
funding
to
then
cover
what
may
be
future
back
new
rent
from
april
first
moving
forward
for
anybody
that
now
falls
under
the
the
our
potential
extended
eviction
moratorium.
So
I
just
think
that
that
should
be
another
component.
E
If
we
are
going
to
come
back
and
consider
the
urgency
ordinance
extend
the
eviction
moratorium,
I
think
the
other
component
that
we
have
to
talk
about
is
where
would
we
then
be
able
to
to
allocate
resources
or
locate
resources
to
then
allocate
to
these
residents
to
assist
them?
So
then,
that
way,
we're
not
just
prolonging
the
inevitable
of
an
eviction
whenever
the
you
know,
moratorium
expires.
C
Thank
you,
councilmember
cohen,.
Q
We
would
have
this
we'd
be
better
off
having
the
state
run
this
program
for
us
and
then
they've
been
so
bad
at
implementing
it
that
we're
all
of
our
residents
or
a
large
number
of
our
residents
are
at
this
point
now,
where
they
haven't
gotten
the
help
they
need
and-
and
we
could
have
hopefully
could
have
implemented
it
in
a
better
way,
and
so
it's
it's.
Q
It's
very
frustrating
to
be
in
this
position,
but
I
appreciate
the
proposal
that
came
forward
that
will
help
people
starting
april
1st
and,
as
it's
been
pointed
out,
I
think
that's
the
most
important
tool.
Let
me
ask
the
question
about
the
next
six
months,
so
you
said,
funding
has
to
be
spent
by
september
1st,
so
it
could
in
theory,
if
there
were
enough
of
it
available
cover
people
for
the
next
six
months.
Q
T
The
county
has
another
approximately
six
or
seven
so
we're,
I
think,
around
10
10
or
11
million
total
of
unspent
era,
1
funds
that
we
could
use
for
one
time,
emergency.
Q
So
so
I
mean
I
guess
the
question
is:
how
much
of
that
will
go
towards
the
the
completion
of
the
applications
that
are
out
there,
and
would
there
be
resources
at
all
available
for
carrying
this
forward?
I
assume
I
mean,
even
if
we,
even
if
we
as
a
council,
decided
to
move
forward
with
an
extension
of
a
moratorium.
Q
The
reason
that
works
is
at
this
point
is
that
we
have
resources
to
help
people
pay
that
rent,
so
that
we,
you
know
every
the
people
are
getting
the
the
landlords
are
getting
their
rent
and
the
residents
haven't
have
a
way
to
fill
that
hole.
If
we
don't
have
the
resources
to
do
that,
then
it
kind
of
becomes
a
moot
point
right.
I
mean
it
unfortunately,
so
I'm
just
asking
about.
S
There's
one
tricky
part
with
the
era:
one
funds
and
that
tenants
are
limited
to
15
months
of
assistance.
So
if
they've
had,
if
they've
used
that
up
already,
we
wouldn't
be
able
to
use
those
funds
for
april
forward.
S
Right,
okay
and-
and
we
already
know
that
80
of
the
people
with
outstanding
applications
with
october
forward
rent,
are
very
low
income
and
extremely
low
income.
65
are
extremely
low
income
and
a
lot
of
those
are
have
recertified
for
further
funding,
so
they're,
probably
near
maxing
out
so
trying
those
are
probably
the
people
most
at
risk
or
for
april
and
forward,
and
just
by
our
what
our
experience
has
been
and
we
couldn't
use
those
cra
funds
for
them,
because
they'd
be
maxed
out.
Q
T
Correct,
okay,
I
think
in
a
in
in
this
scenario,
we're
just
sort
of
picking
the
can
down
the
road.
If
you
will-
and
I
think
that's
what
I
meant
by
we
didn't
this
one-time
money,
all
these
millions
and
millions
of
dollars
has
been
great
and
I
think
it
has
kept
people
housed,
but
we
didn't
solve
for
the
many
people
in
san
jose
who
are
just
extremely
low
income
and
one
emergency
or
unexpected
event
away
from
displacement
or
homelessness.
That
core
problem
still
exists.
C
Thank
you.
I
guess
the
point
to
all
that
reagan.
Just
I
know
it's
implicit.
What
you
said
is,
while
that
emergency
certainly
continues
that,
doesn't,
I
think,
based
on
what
chris
said,
doesn't
give
us
a
legal
basis
for
extending
a
moratorium.
C
Okay,
I
I
just
had
a
couple
questions
about
what
we
can
do
with
him
within
the
constraints
that
we've
got
and
I
think
we're
doing
a
lot,
and
I
really
appreciate
what
we're
doing
through
this
eviction
diversion
program.
But
we
have
a
march
31st
deadline
for
a
lot
of
families
who
have
not
yet
applied,
and
I'm
just
wondering
do.
We
believe,
we've
largely
exhausted
all
the
outreach
avenues
out
there
to
get
to
those
families
or
is
there
anything
significant?
T
So
one
thing
that
that
we
are
doing
is,
we
do
get
notices.
The
housing
department
gets
notices
when
someone
is
in
an
eviction
process,
so
we
do
contact
those
households
with
information
on
the
rental
assistance
program,
but
I
think
you
know
there's
there's
always
more.
You
can
do
in
terms
of
communication
and
I
think,
having
a
big
push
over
than
the
final
weeks.
That
remain
would
be
extremely
helpful.
T
T
I
think
again,
I
think,
we'll
make
a
final
push
in
these
coming
weeks
with
psas
and
contacting
media
partners
to
help
get
the
word
out
right,
but.
C
C
C
And
we're
doing
that,
of
course,
in
multiple
languages.
Okay,
great
then,
with
regard
to,
I
know,
you're
all
very
familiar
with
the
reality
that
an
awful
lot
of
families
are
simply
never
going
to
get
to
court,
because
as
soon
as
they
hear
they
could
be
evicted,
they
scram
for
a
variety
of
reasons.
They
may
they
may
simply
believe
it's
futile
to
push
back.
They
don't
have
any
legal
help.
They
don't
understand
what
rights
are
out
there.
C
They
may
be
undocumented
and
fear
any
contact
with
the
government
a
whole
host
of
reasons,
and-
and
I
appreciate
all
the
work
that's
being
done
with
the
eviction
health,
centers
and
all
the
good
folks
who
are
working
hard
and
the
pop-ups
and
the
and
work
with
the
grassroots
organizations.
But
are
there
any
ways
that
we
can
force
notice
through
whatever
legal
process?
I
assume
that
the
unlawful
detainer
action
is
the
sheriff
involved
in
serving
that
or
is
there?
Is
that
just
purely
private
parties
at.
A
Mara,
it's
a
usually
it's
a
process.
Server
or
the
the
plaintiff
can
conservative
themselves
if
they'd
like
okay,
the
sheriff
only
gets
involved
at
the
very
end
after
a
judgment,
and
a
writ
has
issued
that.
C
That's
to
kick
people
out,
yeah,
okay,
so
if
we
consider
already
explored
the
possibility,
at
least
with
those
notices
that
the
courts
could
require,
there
also
be
a
notice,
letting
folks
know
if
they're
san
jose
residents
that
hey
here's
some
options
where
you
can
actually
get
funds
to
pay
back,
rent,
etc.
A
Ordinance
does
require
certain
disclosures
about
resources
available
at
the
department.
I
think
it's
a
form
that
we
have
that
we
provide,
and
that
can
be
updated
if
it
needs
to
be
to
include
more
information
specific
to
the
eviction
diversion
program
or
other
resources
available
to
address
that
issue.
C
D
R
S
To
your
point
about
the
court,
ab-832
did
require
local
courts
to
develop
a
form
that
would
have
to
be
served
with
a
ud
and
just
know
that
the
city
and
lots
of
county
partners
were
all
work
together
on
that
form
and
that
we
copy
that
form
on
the
flyer
that
we
distribute
and
we
had
it
translated
into
five
languages.
S
So
technically
the
landlords
or
you
know,
process
servers
are
supposed
to
serve
that
with
the
ud.
But
it's
very
maybe
we
can
figure
out
if
san
jose
has
been
doing
that,
but
the
court
doesn't
actually
provide
it.
So
we've
been
working
really
hard
with
the
court
administration
to
try
to
improve
that,
but
I
believe
we're
precluded
from
requiring
the
court
to
produce
yeah.
C
T
Yeah,
I
it's
it's
designed
in
the
same
way
that
we
did
the
rental
assistance
application
pop-ups
like
we.
We
want
to
target
certain
zip
codes
and
neighborhoods
and
even
certain
apartment
complexes,
but
instead
of
helping
people
fill
out
a
rental
assistance
application.
We
want
to
help
people
know
and
understand
the
eviction
process
and
know
and
understand
their
rights
and
and
where,
where
in
the
process,
do
they
need
to
respond
and
by
when
yeah,
but
we're
we're
certainly
open.
To
other
means
of.
C
Thank
you
thanks
for
you,
okay,
I
have
to
apologize
to
my
colleagues
because
there
was
someone
who
I
don't
know.
I
accidentally
cleared
their
name.
They
raised
okay,
councilman.
Thank
you.
J
Thank
you.
Actually,
you
asked
some
of
the
questions
that
were
left
that
I
wanted
to
also
explore
and
just
building
on
on
what
the
mayor
was
talking
about.
I
know
that
we
did
texting
for
the
vaccinations
and
for
tests,
and
that
was
really
effective.
Could
we
do
that
once
again?
J
Well,
when
we
were
doing
when
we
were
providing
information
to
residents
very
targeted
information,
we
were
during
the
the
time
that
we
were
setting
up
tests
and
that
we're
setting
up
vaccination
clinics
we're
sending
out
texts,
and
so
I'm
wondering.
J
Okay,
so
you're
you're
already
doing
that,
but
are
you
continuing
to
do
that
based
on
the
eviction
right?
You
know
their
rights
and
and
that
kind
of
information
or
the
assistance
to
the
state?
Well,
we'll.
H
T
Okay,
we
have
a
little
bit
of
confusion
about
the
texting
and
who's
responsible.
We
may
not
be
doing
the
texting
got
it.
J
Okay,
so
I
I
I'd
love
to
to
have
that
added
as
a
way
to
connect
with
folks,
because
you
know
they
may
not
pick
up
a
flyer,
but
we
always
pick
up
our
phones
and
we
may
not
respond,
but
at
least
we
have
the
information
right.
T
J
Wonderful
that
that
is
that's
wonderful.
I
I
really
love
that
and
and
just
to
confirm
the
31st
is
the
last
day
that
the
state
will
take
applications
correct.
J
Yes,
okay,
so
up
to
that
date,
you
could
still
submit
applications
and
then
the
the
state
will
still
close
up
the
program,
but
they'll
still
process
those
folks
right,
you're
not
going
to
cut
off
just
because
you
you
applied
late.
J
Okay,
awesome,
the
other
thing
that
I
was
hoping
that
we
would
add
in,
and
I
don't
know
whoever
is
in
charge
of
the
outreach
portion
of
this.
You
know
last
last
leg
of
campaigning
here
to
to
have
people
understand
their
eviction
rights,
but
also
to
to
know
about
the
state
program.
J
Is
the
schools
right?
So
are
you
sending
it
through
and
I
don't
mean
through
the
phone
I
mean
you
know
like
a
paper,
you
are.
J
Okay,
I
think
it's
important
for
us
to
to
remember
that.
There's
a
lot
of
folks
who
like
to
receive
information
through
an
actual
newsletter,
something
in
print
versus
something
in
some
kind
of
message
that
we
get,
even
though
I
just
said
that
we
should
do
texting.
J
We
need
to
cover
all
our
bases,
and
I
know
you
know
this
because
you've
been
working
on
this.
I
don't
need
to
tell
you
the
urgency
of
what
you
you
are
all
doing.
I
think
for
us.
You
know,
I'm
I'm
also
thinking
about
gosh
all
those
families
that
we
could
have
gotten.
That
will
come
out
of
the
woodwork
once
the
state
ends
their
program
and
you
know,
throw
their
hands
up
in
the
air
and
and
wonder
who's
going
to
help
them.
J
J
And
so
if
you
send
me
that
information,
I'm
more
than
happy
to
get
that
through
evergreen
school
district,
may
not
be
the
target
of
a
lot
of
the
folks
in
the
county
and
nonprofits
but
eight
out
of
our
15
schools.
That's
are
title
1
schools,
and
so
nobody
really
targets
them,
and
I
know
that
there's
many
like
that
throughout
the
city
and
so
really
hoping
that
you
can
give
us
the
information
and
we'll
we'll
help,
spread
that
and
just
another
question
about
the
reimbursement.
J
Will
we
get
reimbursed
from
the
state
if
we
help
those
folks
who
we
who
you're
facing
in
the
courts,
they'll
eventually
reimburse
us
correct.
T
T
J
Got
it
okay,
so
got
it
all
right?
Well,
more
reason
for
us
to
make
sure
that
everybody
who
is
eligible
applies.
J
The
the
one
thing
that
that
I
know
is
that
there's
a
lot
of
very
informal
living
arrangements,
and
so
I
hope
that
our
pio
is
also
involved
in
sharing
some
of
this
information
and
making
sure
that
we
target
some
of
those
informal
living
arrangements
like
people
who
who
lisa,
who
rent
out
their
rooms
and
and
whatnot,
is
our
pio
involved
in
this
effort.
T
T
J
Yes,
okay
great,
they
were
having
some
really
good
results
with
some
of
their
local
efforts
like
targeting
some
of
the
influencers
or
some
of
the
local
radio
stations,
and
so
I
I
was
hoping
that
we
wouldn't
lose
what
we've
found
to
be
helpful
with
vaccinations
and
with
testing,
and
it
sounds
like
you're
you're
you're
already
connected.
J
I
just
hope
that
that
we
could
reinvent
invigorate
all
of
those
all
of
those
pathways
once
again
before
the
before
the
31st,
because
that's
looming
and
and-
and
I
know
that
you
you
care
about
this-
so
much-
that
you've
created
this
alternative
for
our
local
residents.
So
I
want
to
just
thank
you.
Thank
you
for
for
thinking
about
them.
J
Thank
you
for
seeing
this
this
crisis
inside
the
the
courts
and
coming
up
with
something
absolutely
creative
that
I
know
is
going
to
prevent
homelessness
for
for
many
families,
and
so
thank
you
so
much.
Thank
you,
and
I
also
want
to
thank
the
advocates
who
called
in
and
the
families
that
I
know
are
hurting
out
there
and
have
taken
the
time
to
to
call
in
and
share
that
with
us.
So
very,
very
grateful.
Thank
you.
C
Agreed
council
member
carrasco.
L
So
I
I
think
that
we
heard
two
different
things
and
chris
you
said
that
you
would
come
back
if
need
be
with
potential
findings,
if
we
were
to
pass
a
an
emergency
ordinance,
if
we
were
to
decide
that
this
was
the
route
that
we
wanted
to
go
in.
A
Council,
member
crossco,
I
so
what
I'm
saying
was
that
if
the
council
did
direct
us
the
return
we
can
return,
we
would
work
on
the
findings
with
staff
that
would
go
into
an
ordinance
to
help
support
the
urgency
measure
and
then,
of
course,
I
think
we
could
also
bring
it
as
a
regular
ordinance
that
wouldn't
have
to
be
passed
through
an
urgency
measure.
If
the
council
would
like
us
to
do
that
as
well.
But
yes
that
we
could
work
on
findings
and
bring
it
back
if
the
council
would
like.
L
I
just
want
to
be
able
to
say
this
to
my
council
colleagues
and
mayor
we've
heard
it
we
what
we
heard
from
the
callers
and
those
people
who
are
knocking
on
doors
and
disseminating
information.
We
heard
it
from
the
law
foundation.
There
are
a
lot
of
folks
out
there
who
still
are
not
back
on
their
feet
and
they're
and
we're
expecting
folks
who,
who
are
not
going
to
be
okay
starting
april
1st
and
are
going
to
be
in
jeopardy
of
losing
their
home.
L
This
is
for
those
of
us
who
have
been
fighting
for
the
health
and
well-being
of
our
families
and
our
children.
This
means
disruption
to
children,
pulling
them
out
of
their
schools,
losing
their
friends
interrupting
their
their
academic
lives,
but
also
their
their
stability
and
their
social
network.
This
means
individuals
leaving
their
communities
that
they've
committed
to
that
they've
dedicated
themselves
to
that
they've
worked
in
in
the
districts
in
the
district
that
I
represent,
that
council
member
esparza
represents
those
under
invested
communities.
L
This
means
this
could
be
the
last
nail
on
the
coffin
where
we
see
complete
displacement
and
gentrification
of
our
families
and
of
our
communities.
This.
This
can
be
a
complete
game
changer
when
we
talk
about
the
communities
that
we're
serving
and
and
what
I'm
asking
for,
is
potentially
carrying
this
conversation
until
next
week
to
really
understand
whether
or
not
we
have
findings
to
to
extend
the
moratorium.
Another
six
months,
I'm
not
asking
you
to
make
the
decision
to
extend
it
for
six
months
today.
L
What
I'm
asking
staff
is
to
to
look
and
see
whether
there
are
findings
and
to
continue
this
conversation,
and
with
that
I'm
going
to
hopefully
find
a
second
and
ask
that
I
move
my
memo
supporting
staff's
recommendation,
as
well
as
asking
staff
to
come
back
next
week
with
both
an
urgency
and
a
regular
ordinance
to
counsel
and
I'm
hoping
that
you
will
find
those
those
findings
that
will
help
us
make.
That
decision
come
next
week.
J
Second
councilmember,
so
including
all
of
your
your
your
memo.
Yes,
I
thought
some
of
that
memo
was
not
going
to
not
going
to
be
legal
or.
L
Just
the
the
memos
asking
what
it
the
memo
is:
asking
council
member
arenas,
it
never
asked
this
memo,
never
asked.
If
you
read
it,
it
doesn't
ask
for
us
to
vote
today
on
an
urgency
ordinance.
What
is
asking
staff
is
to
come
back
next
week
so
that
we
can
continue
the
discussion
and
and
be
able
to
make
that
decision
next
week.
J
Okay,
so
your
then
your
your
motion
is
not
to
accept
your
memo
because
you're
in
your
memo,
it
says
to
bring
an
urgency
ordinance
that
begins
in
april
first
and
then
to
reinstate
the
eviction
moratorium
for
an
additional
six
months,
which
is
sounds
like
something
that
you'd
like
to
bring
back.
I
don't-
and
I
don't
know
if
that's
possible
next
week,
but
right.
L
So
what
it,
what
it
is
it's
these
are
the
recommendations.
The
urgency
ordinance
would
include
those
recommendations,
we're
not
voting
on
the
actual
urgency
ordinance
today.
So
this
is
what
would
be
discussed
next
week.
J
Okay,
so
so
I'll
I'll
support
the
motion
and
how
and
ask
you
to
please
work
with
our
housing
department,
so
that
and
their
attorneys,
so
that
we
can
figure
out
what
what
can
be
done.
That
is
within
the
the
legal
parameters
that
we
can
work
under.
T
I
guess
this
is
reagan
with
the
housing
department.
I
I
guess
I
would
just
want
to
clarify
council
member
that
it
is
not
your
your
memo,
because
your
memo
is
asking
us
to
legislate
a
time
period
where
we
are
preempted,
meaning
that
backward
as
I
read
your
memo.
But
if
you
would
like
us
to
return
with
an
urgency
ordinance
going
forward
april
1st
that
is
for
for
april,
rent
going
forward
again
not
for
that
back
rent
between
march
2020
and
march
2022.
C
Okay,
so
council,
member
carrasco
and
councilman
arenas,
the
motion
is
just
this
to
rent
for
april
1st
going
forward
is
that
right.
L
Oh
and
I'm
sorry
you're
right,
you're
right
because
I
I
just
saw
the
the
the
text
message
that
my
staff
sent
me
and
in
recommendation
1a
it
should
read,
applies
versus,
has
applied.
L
Is
that
where
the
I
believe,
that's
where
the
confusion
is
so
versus
well,.
T
If
we
wouldn't
again,
if
you
wanted
to
do
an
urgency,
ordinance
not
related
to
any
applications
for
back
owed
rent
between
the
last
two
years,
we
could
certainly
do
that,
but
I
think
your
three
recommendations
probably
would
not
be
applicable
to
such
a
thing
going
forward.
So
that's,
I
guess
why
I
was
saying
councilmember.
I
don't
think
it
is
your
your
memo,
but
I
think
you
want
direction
for
us
to
return
with
an
urgency
ordinance
and
we
could
work
with
the
city
attorney
on
options
for
that.
C
All
right,
customer
renaissance,
your
second
as
well,
okay,
okay,
just
to
add
a
diversion
for
a
moment.
Just
on
the
issue
of
communication.
I
know
the
housing
team
has
been
working
hard
on
this.
C
My
own
office,
rachel,
davis
and
team,
have
been
creating
a
tool
kit
for
communicating
on
the
march
31st
application
deadline
and
then
subsequently,
after
april,
first
it'll
pivot
toward
a
focus
on
diversion
and
the
work
that
we
just
talked
about
and
thanks
to
as
esme
bautista
and
trey
nguyen
for
translating
that
to
spanish
and
vietnamese
that
will
be
distributed
to
your
offices.
So
definitely
take
advantage
of
that.
C
That's
helpful
to
get
the
word
out
to
family
members
in
your
district
and
we'll
do
our
best
to
to
modify
that
is
maybe
appropriate
for
whatever
communities
we're
trying
to
reach
on
the
motion
itself.
C
I
have
some
concerns
about
going
forward
because
I'm
not
hearing
that
we're
going
to
be
able
to
create
findings
that
are
going
to
satisfy
this
standard
next
week
and
chris
I
know
you've
been,
I
know,
you're,
not
the
housing
and
economic
expert,
but
do
you
do
you
believe
we're
gonna
be
able
to
come
up
with
findings
in
a
week?
That
would
substantiate
a
moratorium
going
forward
april
first
of
the
year.
T
Thank
you
for
asking.
I
was
just
talking
to
staff
and
I
I
think
the
we're
gonna
be
a
little
tight
on
time
to
come
back
next
week,
because
we
would
need
to
provide
you
the
rules
committee
agenda
language
tomorrow,
for
that.
T
C
So
that's
helpful
from
a
procedural
level,
I'm
just
going
to
the
substance
and
chris
or
reagan,
and
so
that's
certainly
helpful
as
a
substantive
matter.
Is
it
likely
that
we're
going
to
be
able
to
come
up
with
findings
that
will
really
survive
scrutiny
because
we
expect
landlords
will
sue.
A
Mayor,
that's
a
difficult
thing
to
note
ahead
of
time,
but
I
think
that
staff
has
started
to
develop
some
of
the
findings
that
could
support
it.
I
think
we
need
to
see
what
the
current
you
know.
Future
research
is
going
to
bear
out
in
terms
of
what
we
find
as
reasons
I
have
certain
doubts
based
on
what
we
based
our
findings
on
from
prior
legislation
that
was
passed.
A
If
we
use
that
as
the
barometer,
unfortunately,
we
don't
have
those
circumstances
or
fortunately
perhaps
we
don't
have
those
circumstances
anymore
to
justify
it.
So
I
think
we
would
have
to
get
creative
in
in
digging
up
some
information,
but
I'm
I
need
to
see
what
information
is
out
there
to
be
more
confident
that
we
have
what
we
need
for
next
week
or
whenever
we
return
and.
T
A
C
C
Obviously
we
know
many
families
are
hurting
in
our
community
right
now,
but
I
think
at
a
time
when
unemployment
is
around
three
percent,
it's
really
hard
for
us
to
say
the
same
thing
we
said
two
years
ago
and-
and
I
think
that
kind
of
goes
to
the
gist
of
all
this.
So
I'm
I'm
I'm
not,
although
I
certainly
support
the
intent,
I'm
not
supportive
of
this
particular
motion.
Council
member,
sorry,
I
saw
it
hands
out
that
did
anybody
else
want
to
speak
on
this.
E
E
So
if
we
do
come
back
and
we
do
end
up
having
an
ability
to
to
move
forward
with
a
new
eviction
moratorium,
I
again
I
would
want
to
see-
maybe
you
know
if
we
think
there's
going
to
be
enough
additional
resources
from
the
zr
funds
or
where
else
we
might
you
know,
do
we
need
to
look
to
the
budget
process
or
what
to
be
able
to
ensure
we're,
not
just
kicking
the
can
down
the
road
and
that
we
can
actually
provide
additional
support
for
these
say
following
six
months
as
well,
so
the
staff
can
can
include
that
the
funding
component,
I'm
sorry
that
would
be
a
friendly.
C
Okay
and
councilman:
okay,
all
right
moving
on
councilman
cohen.
Q
So
I
I'm
having
trouble
just
with
the
with,
with
with
doing
something
that
could
lead
to
a
false
sense
of
security
among
people
as
well,
and
I
do
appreciate
that
the
staff
direction
was.
We
want
to
work
very
hard
with
people
who
submitted
their
paper,
get
their
paperwork,
and
we
I
mean.
Obviously
our
number
one
priority
is
get
paperwork
in
by
march.
Q
31St
get
as
many
people
to
get
that
in
and
then
we
would
know
who
has
and
we
will
make
sure
they
get
their
resources
and
then
we'll
work
with
them
on
trying
to
work
with
their
landlords
on
what
we
can
do
going
forward
and
what
they
can
do
going
forward.
That
was
part
of
this
direction
right,
and
maybe
you
can
clarify
that
a
little
bit,
but
I
I'm
concerned
about
then
kind
of
putting
in
place
a
moratorium
that
can't
be
defended
and
doesn't
have
the
resources
behind
it.
Q
And
I,
I
suppose
the
directions
point
is
come
back
next
week
and
and
tell
us
that,
but
I'm
I'm
not
sure
if
I
have
a
question
here
or
not,
but
I'm
just
I'm
just
speaking
out
loud
about
my
my
concerns
about
it.
But
maybe
if
you
just
one
question,
what
is
you
you
talked
about
in
the
in
the
staff
recommendation
about
recommend
about
how
you
people
would
sort
of
have
to
have
a
plan
going
forward?
Also
because
they're
not
protected,
I'm
not
convinced
that
a
new
moratorium
will
protect
them
anyway.
Q
But
what
is
it?
How?
How
do
you
envision
that
protection
piece
working
with
the
current
recommendation
that
you
had
on
or
that
moving
forward
proposal
to
look
like.
S
Our
goal
I
mean
for
people
that
are
still
struggling.
This
is
how
we
get
them
into
our
homelessness
prevention
system
that
the
city
and
county
and
partners
have
have
built
and
there's
money
there
and
resources,
and
once
we
have
the
landlords
engaged
getting
everybody
towards
the
same
goal
rather
than
pushing
people
apart
is
probably
going
to
lead
to
better
solutions
for
the
families
and
for
the
warm
water.
B
Q
We
need
to
begin
to
address
that
and
not
and
not
put
in
place
an
ordinance
that
will
either
hinder
or
make
it
so
that
people
don't
don't
can't
take
advantage
of
those
programs
and
to
me
that
should
be
our
priority,
especially
knowing
that
we're
not
able
to
do
anything
for
the
april
1st
deadline
for
people
who
are
not
able
to
get
covered
for
last
year
and
that
the
resources
will
only
allow
us
to
cover
people
for
15
months
anyway.
Q
So
many
can't
be
covered
going
forward,
even
if
we
find
the
money-
or
maybe
we
find
money
from
other
sources,
but
that
money
is
better
served
going
into
a
homelessness
prevention
program.
I
think
than
necessarily
this
kind
of
continued
ongoing
eviction
moratorium
anyway,
that
that's
kind
of
why.
I
think
this.
This
isn't
necessarily
the
right
thing
for
us
to
be
focused
on
in
the
next
week.
C
Thank
you.
I
note
that
I'm
having
some
problems
actually
reading
requests
to
speak.
Councilman
mayhem
has
tried
a
couple
times
and
his
name
has
popped
up.
But
if
you're
trying
to
speak
just
sort
of
wave
at
me,
okay,
counselor
mayhem.
I
Thanks
mayor
appreciate
that
not
sure,
what's
going
on
with
my
screen,
and
actually
I
think,
councilor
cohen,
essentially
made
the
point
I
wanted
to
make,
which
is
you
know,
I?
I
really
appreciate
the
the
intention
of
council
member
krasko's
memo
and
and
the
desire
to
help
those
who
are
at
risk
of
eviction
for
for
really,
frankly,
any
reason
I
mean
kova
kova
being
one
but
many
other
sources
of
economic
insecurity
in
our
community
that
we
need
to
be
working
on.
I
What
is
the
impact
of
us
looking
at
an
eviction
moratorium
that
won't
even
be
applicable
for
for
for
economic
impacts
prior
to
april
1st
anyway?
So
what
what's
the?
What's?
The
trade-off
we're
facing
if
we
do
go
forward
with
the
motion
on
the
floor.
T
I
mean,
obviously
we
will
we
serve
at
the
council's
pleasure
so
well.
I
Of
course,
but
I
think
whatever
I
think
frankly,
I
mean,
I
think
we
often
don't
ask
ourselves
enough
what
the
trade-offs
are,
because
every
time
we
make
a
decision,
that's
more
staff,
time
and
hours
that
could
be
spent
on
something
else
and
I'd
I'd
like
to
know.
I
mean
what
what
can
we
be
using
that
time
for,
given
that
you
evaluated
this
and
gave
us
what
I
thought
was
a
really
solid
recommendation
today.
T
Yeah,
I
think
the
trade-off
might
be
some
of
that
outreach.
That
needs
to
happen
both
within
the
next
two
weeks
before
march
31st,
but
also
what
needs
the
outreach
that
needs
to
happen
around
tenant
rights
and
tenant
education
would
probably
suffer.
I
also
think
our
our
legal
clinic
with
santa
clara
university.
We
have
this
willing
partner,
but
we
just
really
need
to
work
on
the
details
of
that
program
and
that
agreement
with
them.
I
think
that
will
probably
suffer.
S
As
someone
who's
been
dealing
with
these
victim
moratarium
laws
for
the
past
two
years
to
add,
another
change
at
a
local
level
is
just
going
to
confuse
people.
So
when
we
want
to
focus
our
outreach
on
basic
tenant
landlord
rights,
we're
going
to
have
to
say
oh
here's,
another
law,
but
it
may
not
work
this
way,
and
I
I
personally
have
been
trying
to
educate
people
about
every
change
of
laws
for
the
last
two
years
and
it
it.
I
think
it
erodes
some
trust.
I
Thank
you
yeah.
I
just
really
appreciate
hearing
that
perspective,
given
that
you're
in
the
trenches
every
day
working
on
this
issue,
and
I
think
that
issue
of
trade-offs
often
doesn't
isn't
stark
enough
or
clear
enough
for
concrete
enough
for
us
making
these
these
policy
decisions,
because
everything
we
propose
pretty
much
everything
my
colleagues
propose,
I
think
is,
is
something
that
that
is
good
and
that
I
certainly
want
to
support,
and
certainly
in
this
case
I
think
it's
just
a
question
of
what's:
what's
the
cost,
what
are
the
trade-offs?
I
So
I'd
certainly
prefer
that
we
find
other
mechanisms
for
supporting
those
who
are
living
on
the
edge
economically
are
vulnerable
economically
going
forward.
I
don't
see
an
eviction
moratorium
related
to
covid
income
loss
being
the
most
appropriate
tool
for
doing
that
after
april,
1st,
thanks.
L
Our
team,
there,
our
staff
and
I'm
sorry,
I
can't
I
can't
see
people
who
are
in
the
box.
I
know
reagan
is
in
there
and
I
know
rachel
and
chris
was
that
emily?
L
Yes,
oh
thank
you
so
much
so
quick
question.
So
when
we
put
the
rental
protections,
the
temporary
rental
protections
in
place
and
just
a
quick
answer,
it's
meant
to
at
least
temporarily
protect
them
from
being
evicted,
correct.
L
So
what
you're
saying
is:
let's
not
put
a
protection
in
in
people's
lives
that
might
keep
them
in
their
homes
because,
god
forbid,
since
we
just
changed
the
rules
again,
keeping
them
in
their
home
does
not
outweigh
another
rule
that
we
just
changed
and
that
is
going
to
overshadow
the
trust
that
we've
been
building.
So,
let's
put
them
at
risk,
let's
allow
the
the
landlord
to
potentially
evict
them,
but
I
believe
that
that
is
worth
the
cost
of
eroding
the
trust
of
changing
yet
another
rule,
which
is
to
protect
them
for
six
more
months.
L
I
heard
emily
say
that
to
go
ahead
and
extend
the
the
temporary
protections
another
six
months
beyond
march
31st
is
to
once
again
change
the
rules
which
would
confuse
people
and
erode
the
trust
with
our
community.
S
S
So
I'm
not
it's
we're
not
sure
who
this
will
actually
protect,
and
I
wasn't
saying
that
putting
another
law
in
would
erode
the
trust
I
was
balanced.
The
question
was:
what
are
the
the
costs
to
exploring
of
having
this,
and
that
was
one
of
the
costs,
but
it's
not
always
what
would
prevent
taking
such
action.
The
problem
we're
trying
to
solve
is
people
who
could
be
evicted
who
have
pending
rent
relief
applications
and
who
are
still
in
need,
and
I
don't
if,
because
we
can't
legislate
that
amount.
T
Bringing
back
an
urgency
ordinance,
we
have
said
we
could
certainly
bring
back
options
for
council
to
consider.
This
is
a
team
that
has
been
on
the
ground
in
person
every
day,
assisting
vulnerable
households.
So
it
is
not
that
we
don't
care
about.
These
households
are
aren't
working
seven
days
a
week
to
help
these
households.
L
Absolutely-
and
I
and
I
and
I
appreciate
it,
this
work
from
day
one
when
I
walked
into
office
dealing
with
our
folks
who
are
living
in
the
street
seems
like
an
insurmountable
challenge.
L
I
want
to
make
sure
that
we
don't
have
more
people
living
in
the
street
because
of
what
I
believe
is
about
to
happen
come
april
first,
and
so
so
I
I'm
not
opposed
to
the
staff
recommendation,
which
I
believe
it
actually
is
a
great
recommendations
put
forward
by
by
our
staff
and
and
by
the
entire
housing
department.
You've
got
a
great
team
out
there
working
and
you
understand
what
what
is
helping
and
how
we
can
expedite
these
applica
these
applications.
L
My
my
hopes
with
this
memo
is
that
we
can
layer
protections
on
top
of
other
protections
and,
if
I'm
wrong,
please
let
me
know,
but
but
I'm
not,
this
memo
doesn't
my
hopes
in
moving
forward,
at
least
for
the
next
seven
days
is
not
to
undermine
that
course,
but
rather
accept
that
course
of
action
and
on
top
of
that
course
of
action,
look
to
see
how
we
protect
those
other
individuals
who
are
going
to
be
completely
left
without
any
sort
of
safety
net
whatsoever.
L
The
individuals
who
have
no
protections
whatsoever-
and
we
haven't
addressed
them.
We
haven't
addressed
them
whatsoever
in
this
in
this
course
of
action.
So
my
my
my
request
of
my
council
colleagues
as
we're
talking
about
protecting
our
families
and
by
the
way
the
majority
of
those
families
are
in
my
district,
so
maybe
I'll
I'll
ask
as
a
personal
favor
on
behalf
of
my
families,
please
for
the
next
seven
days.
L
I'm
asking
that
this
come
back
to
see
whether
or
not
we
have
a
legal
foot
to
stand
on
to
extend
it
another
six
months
and
to
see
whether
or
not
we
have
a
means
to
to
extend
financial
resources
to
these
families.
L
That's
all
I'm
asking
for
is
give
us
another
week
give
staff
another
week
to
see
whether
or
not
this
is
happening
by
the
way.
In
terms
of
outreach,
my
team
is
out
there
right
now,
knocking
on
doors
and
making
sure
that
they
understand
what
their
legal
rights
are
and
making
sure
that
they
understand
that
they
still
have
nine
days
approximately
to
fill
out
those
applications
so
that
they
don't
get
evicted
if
they
have
back
rent
from
the
period
that
that
is
still
being
covered.
So,
as
you
know,
my
my
team
is
incredibly
active.
L
We're
out
there
we're
hands-on
and
we
work
hand-in-hand
with
our
different
departments
so
they're
out
there
we're
gonna
have
a
pop-up
at
the
alam
rock
library
this
coming
saturday,
so
for
anyone,
that's
listening
or
can
help
us
pass.
The
word
we're
more
than
grateful
for
your
attention
and
your
support.
L
If
you'd
like
to
volunteer
I'm
offering
my
office
as
an
opportunity,
but
my
office
is
out
there
and
they've
been
out
there,
handing
out
information
and
knocking
on
doors
and
working
with
our
different
partners
to
get
that
information,
and
that
outreach
out
there
and
happy
to
to
combine
efforts
with
our
city
team
and
go
knock
on
doors,
hand
in
hand.
L
So
I'll
I'll
leave
it
at
that.
I'm
hoping
that
I
will
get
the
votes
that
we
need
to
bring
it
back
next
week.
T
C
C
Yeah,
since
we're
now
at
6
13
p.m.
Councilman
krauska
did
you
want
to
consider
the
timing
of
the
motion.
C
Yeah,
I
I
think
what
you
heard
was
that
they,
under
the
rules,
have
to
have
this
language
ready
to
go
by
tomorrow,
and
I
think
you've
heard
it's.
L
Yes,
so
here's
here's
the
challenge.
The
challenge
is
that
the
the
protections
expire
on
the
31st
of
march
and
that's
why
we
needed
it
by
next
week.
C
L
Okay,
my
council
colleague
jimenez,
has
his
hand
up
okay,.
P
I
was
just
going
to
ask
the
same
thing:
maybe
you
want
to
push
it
out
two
weeks
or
so
yeah,
because
because
I
appreciate
staff's
consideration,
you
know
just
trying
to
get
stuff
hammered
away.
You
know
with
with
such
expediency.
I
think
it's
it's
just
needs
to
take
a
little
time,
and
so
I
just
I
just
wanted
to
ask
about
that
so
that
that
was
you
guys
touched
on
it
already.
So
that
was
all
I
had.
C
Okay,
I
think
that's
a
request
for
friendly
men
is
that
right.
C
Yeah,
unfortunately,
I've
been
doing
it
for
a
while.
Councilman
reigns.
That's
okay
with
you!
So,
okay,
all
right!
Okay,
there's
a
motion
then,
on
the
floor
for
staff
to
come
back
in
two
weeks.
H
D
H
D
C
D
C
D
Okay,
good
evening
council,
my
name
is
ruth
gueto,
I'm
a
supervising,
planner
in
pbce
and
we're
here
to
give
you
an
update
on
the
2021
housing
element
annual
progress
report.
My
colleague,
kristen
clemens
division
manager
from
housing
is
here
as
well
as
the
director
chris
burton
and
deputy
director
michael
brio.
D
First
time,
thanks
all
right,
so
the
annual
progress
report
is
required
by
state
law
so
that
we
provide
an
update
on
the
city.
Progress
towards
meeting
the
regional
housing
need.
D
D
D
In
2021,
we
saw
a
divergence
between
the
rental
and
for
sale
market
and,
as
you
probably
read
every
morning
when
you
open
the
paper,
your
news
media
outlets,
the
for
markets,
the
for
market
for
sale
market
is
very
competitive
and
in
terms
of
building
permit
activity,
we
saw
an
increase
again
from
2020
to
2021
and
a
geographical
focus
of
these
permits.
We
saw
an
increase
in
urban
village
areas
and
an
increase
in
interest
and
permits
for
adus.
D
Thanks
ruth
I'll
go
over
a
few
of
the
highlights
in
the
three
p's
first
with
production,
as
you
will
hear
shortly
with
a
housing
crisis,
work
plan
update
in
may
and
june,
we
did
a
lot
of
work
actually
in
clarifying
general
plan
policies,
specifically
in
ip510
and
512.
D
The
inclusionary
housing
ordinance
was
amended
to
add
flexibility
and
to
establish
fees
that
were
appropriate
for
sub-market
conditions
and
hopefully
encourage
construction
of
units.
We
also
added
an
option
for
moderate
income,
restricted
units
which
the
parks
department
then
matched
with
an
amendment
to
their
pdo,
pio
ordinance
by
establishing
a
50
credit
for
moderate
income
units
that
met
the
inclusionary
obligations.
D
D
D
In
the
preservation
realm,
actually,
our
focus
last
year
was
a
lot
of
what
we
just
heard
about,
which
was
preserving
the
residences
of
people
who
were
suffering
from
covid
and
you'll.
Be
hearing
more
about
this,
also
with
the
homelessness
annual
report
on
on
the
29th
so
for
motel
housing,
a
lot
of
shelter
that
was
being
provided
for
non-congregate
housing
families
were
kept
in
there
as
long
as
possible,
using
federal
funds
for
coveted
response
and
then
project
home
key.
D
Several
projects
applied
for
home
key
funding.
The
surestay
hotel
on
north
first
was
successful
in
getting
almost
12
million
dollars
from
the
state
and
the
city
identified
an
operator
for
that
property.
Two
more
properties
applied,
but
were
wait
listed
two
more
in
addition,
are
working
on
preparing
a
home
key
application
going
forward.
D
In
addition
to
submitting
the
annual
performance
report
on
the
achievement
of
our
regional
housing
needs
assessment
goals
and
our
strategies,
which
are
also
found
as
an
appendix
to
the
memo,
we
also
submit
annually
the
report
to
the
state,
as
the
housing
successor
for
the
former
redevelopment
agency
in
san
jose,
a
couple
of
highlights:
we're
reporting
assets
of
almost
700
million
dollars.
That
includes
all
assets
all
together,
including
land
that
we
own
and
lease
two
properties
that
exist
already
and
two
required
tests
that
needed
to
be
performed.
D
And
the
staff
recommendation
is
for
you
to
accept
the
report
and
for
the
annual
progress
report
so
that
we
can
submit
that
to
the
state
on
time
for
the
housing
element
and
then
to
accept
the
fiscal
year.
2021
housing
successor
report
for
the
redevelopment
agency
and
also
submit
that
to
the
state
and
we're
here
to
answer
any
questions
you
might
have.
Thank
you.
C
Thank
you
for
the
presentation.
We
were
watching
back
in
the
back
room,
so
rest
assured,
although
we
have
a
few
colleagues
back
there
catching
up,
we
we
have
several
members
of
the
community
like
to
speak.
G
Yes,
I
apologize.
This
is
matthew
reed
from
silicon
valley
at
home.
I
just
want
to
acknowledge
all
of
the
work
that
staff
and,
frankly,
this
council
has
done
over
the
past
years
to
try
to
figure
out
how
to
bend
the
arc
on
the
crisis
that
we've
faced
for
some
time
there
have
been
really
important
steps
taken.
G
However,
it
is
clear
that
we
are
falling
significantly
short
of
meeting
the
needs
of
our
our
lower
income,
particularly
renters
in
in
san
jose,
and
that
the
tables,
actually
they
don't
align
in
in
the
memo,
but
somewhere
between
13
and
16
of
of
the
the
arena
totals,
have
have
been
met,
and
I
know
the
pipeline
is
moving
faster
than
it
was,
but
as
we
move
into
the
next
housing
element
cycle,
I
think
we
need
to
acknowledge
that
there
are
constraints
on
our
ability
to
respond
to
the
community
needs.
G
So
I
I
want
to
appreciate
all
of
the
work
that's
been
done,
but
take
this
opportunity,
which
only
happens
formally
once
a
year
to
acknowledge
that
there's
more
work
to
be
done
and
we're
looking
forward
to
continuing
to
work
to
find
more
solutions,
and
there
will
be
a
lot
of
discussion
in
the
coming
months
about
additional
steps
we
can
take
to
both
keep
people
housed
and
and
produce
the
affordable
housing
that
we
need.
Thank
you.
B
Hi
beekman,
thank
you
for
the
words
of
matthew
read.
Thank
you
for
this
item.
An
important
thought.
I
had
that
you.
You
are
starting
to
consider
more
arena
ideas
that
there
are
other
programs
within.
You
know,
bay
area,
regional
housing,
ideas
that
are
really
interesting
and
are
meant
to
be
a
bit
experimental
at
this
time
to
develop
our
better
practices
in
housing.
What
can
be
new
ideas?
B
I
think
we're
trying
to
work
here
in
the
bay
area
to
you
know
kind
of
unhinge,
some
of
the
locked
in
systems
that
the
state
has
created
a
really
good
luck
in
those
continuing
good
efforts.
I'm
a
bit
hurt
that
in
the
bay
area,
mixed
income
ideas
are
not
being
allowed.
The
same
same
study
session
process
as
they
are
in
other
large,
regional
metropolitan
areas
of
the
state
of
california.
B
I
hope
we
can
take
it
upon
ourselves
to
really
really
consider
how
what
the
flexibility
can
be
and
the
mixed
income
can
offer.
It
just
offers
an
amazing
array
of
different
ways.
We
can
work
and
and
and
and
be
inclusive
to
all
parts
of
the
community
with
a
number
of
issues
from
sb,
9
and
10
to
boy
just
a
number
of
issues.
I
I
can't
believe
we
don't
think
about
it
more
and
don't
make
it
more
of
a
regular
part
of
our
system.
B
Yet
good
luck,
how
you
can
do
that
and
of
course
you
know
with
the
future
of
urban
villages
and
such
really
really
be
considering
the
importance
of
eli
and
vli
and
mixed
income
in
the
future
of
urban
villages.
Don't
just
settle
for,
say,
you're,
doing,
affordable
housing
and
then
say
eighty
thousand
dollars
is,
is
affordable,
housing
really
consider
low
and
very
low
income.
Thank
you
back
to
council.
J
Thank
you
mayor.
I
have
a
couple
of
questions
about
the
adus.
I
know
that
they
are
not
qualified
as
affordable
housing,
but
when
do
we
anticipate
the
the
department
of
housing
and
community
development
make
it
a
determination
on
that.
D
Thank
you.
Councilmember
we've
been
waiting
for
a
few
months
on
that
that
information
we
do
have
a
dr.
We
have
draft
guidance
from
abag
mtc,
but
we're
hoping
that
within
the
next
few
months
that
would
be
formal,
reviewing
housing
element
updates
for
southern
california
cities
right
now,
so
some
of
that
work
isn't
being
done
but
yeah.
It
is
our
our
hope
that
we'll
hear
in
the
next
few
months.
J
Thank
you,
and
I
know
that
that
not
all
of
those
adus
are
affordable
housing
if
they
didn't,
if
they
didn't
commit
to
a
lower
rent
based
on
our
program
internally
right
is
there
a
way
for
us
to
figure
out
out
of
those
421?
What
truly
is
affordable.
D
D
There
is
a
survey
that
has
been
taken
in
the
bay
area
with
some
results
from
the
san
jose
area,
and
I
think
that's
what
ruth
was
referring
to
as
to
that.
S
A
D
Are
not
restricted,
moderate
income
units,
they
just
happen
to
come
out
of
the
ground
in
about
the
right
rent
range
so,
but
we're
still
waiting
for
the
the
authority
from
the
state
that
they'll
buy
off
on
this
strategy.
J
Got
it,
it
would
be
interesting
to
see
I'm
guessing,
maybe
there's
some
folks
that
are
not
charging
their.
You
know
their
kids,
who
are
coming
back
from
college
because
they're
going
to
save
for
a
home
and-
and
while
I
think
that
is
a
privilege
not
that
everybody
is
able
to
receive
because
it
doesn't
require
rent.
J
I
don't
know
if
that
would
be
considered,
affordable
right
right,
so
so
anyways
we'll
we'll
wait
and
see
right
on
on
that
piece
and
and
while
I'm
on
that
that
item,
I
know
that
we
had
a
amnesty
program
back
in
the
day.
J
I
think
in
2019-
and
I
think
this
was
with
oh
gosh,
councilmember
carrasco
and
foley
on
the
amnesty
program
to
make
it
easier,
but
we
also
had
that
included
in
their
a
amnesty
program
for
the
conversion
of
garages
to
studios.
D
J
R
J
Okay,
I
would
love
to
have
a
an
update
on
that
amnesty
program
to
see
how
successful
it
was
and
see.
If
maybe
we
need
to
reintroduce
it
and
give
other
some
folks
an
opportunity
to
once
again
be
up
to
code.
J
On
their
conversion
rates,
I
suspect
that
we
have
a
lot
more
out
there
than
on
the
record
and
it'd
be
great
to
have
them
under
the
record.
So
we
can
count
them
part
of
our
housing
here,
okay
and
then.
J
I
I
have,
I
have
a
one
of
the
very
few
areas
of
development
that
were
already
in
in
place
when
I
first
took
office
and
produced
a
number
of
really
lovely
homes
that
start
at
a
million
and
are
across
the
way
from
eastridge
and
now
costco
is
there
and
and
a
medical
provider
will
come
soon,
but
the
the
rest
of
the
area-
that's
meant
for
that's
meant
for
commercial
is,
is
still
look
empty,
it's
an
empty,
empty
area,
and
so
it's
just
just
to
say
that
it
doesn't
even
costco
can't
bring
them
can't
bring
them
in,
and
you
know
one
of
the
things
that
that
I,
along
with
other
council
members,
wanted
to,
I
think,
is
councilmember
davis
and
I
apologize.
J
I
forget
who
else
was
on
that
memo?
We
we
wanted
to
eliminate
the
commercial
requirements
for
100,
affordable
housing
projects,
and
I
wanted
to
know
when
do
you
anticipate
bringing
that
back
to
council.
R
So
I
can
respond
to
that.
So
there's
two
things.
So
one
is
well
there's
only
four
general
plan
cycles
a
year,
so
we
have
to
we've
already
used
we're
using
two
and
we
have
an
annual
review.
So
we
have
to
figure
out
whether
we
can
batch
it
with
other
and
or
I'm
sorry,
general
plan
general
plan
hearing
items
that
need
to
go
to
council.
R
Secondly,
we're
in
the
process
of
rebuilding
the
general
plan
team
that
the
staff
have
all
left
on
that
team
or
are
leaving,
and
so
we
need
to
sort
of
bring
on
a
new
team,
get
them
up
to
speed
and
when
we
do
that,
so
that's
part
of
the
consideration
of
when
we'd
be
able
to
bring
it
to
council,
but
I
would
say,
would
definitely
bring
it
to
council
this
year.
There's
no
problem
with
that.
S
R
Other
promotional
opportunities
or
other
opportunities,
so
so
right
now
so
we're
in
the
so
so
I
can't
give
you
an
exact
date,
but
it's
it's
being
so.
We
have
to
find
another
hearing
cycle
that
we're
going
to
bring
general
plan
amendments
then
we'll
we'll
hitch
it
up
to
that.
J
Yeah
yeah,
I
I'd
love
to.
Of
course
you
you're,
you
know
you're
you're,
working
with
what
you
have
internally
and
I'm
sure
they're
they're
working
they're,
putting
twice
the
work
in
because
of
those
folks
who
are
absent
now.
So
I
appreciate
all
that
effort
it.
J
It
is
so
hard
for
market
rate,
housing
and
just
regular
market
rate
housing
to
have
a
commercial
around
them
and
to
make
that
happen,
much
less
affordable
housing,
and
so
I
would
I'd
love
to
see
how
we
can
move
those
affordable
housing
projects
through
the
pipeline
without
that
without
that
requirement.
So
I
appreciate
that
effort
and
those
are
my
questions.
Thank
you,
oh
and
a
motion
to
approve.
C
Great.
Thank
you,
sir
a
second
council
member
in
a
second
any
other
comments
or
questions.
P
E
D
C
Okay,
we
have
two
more
items
left
on
the
agenda.
I
was
hoping
to
power
through,
I
know
that's
been
challenging,
but
I
just
wanted
to
check
with
my
colleagues
that
we're
okay
doing
that
without
a
break.
Okay,
I
know
folks
are
taking.
Q
R
All
right,
hello,
I
think
everyone's
back
gnoshing
right
now,
but
I'll
keep
going.
This
is
michael
brio,
deputy
director
of
citywide
planning
good
evening,
mayor
and
council,
I'm
here
tonight
to
present
for
your
consideration,
the
north
first
urban
village
plan.
R
R
The
planned
job
growth
capacity
is
756
000
square
feet
and
the
housing
unit
capacity
that
was
planned
for
is
almost
1700
units,
and
so
this
plan
is
really
used
to,
as
the
is
the
as
the
the
plan
is
used
to
sort
of
guide
new
development
and
to
as
we
review
to
develop
new
development,
it's
used
to
sort
of
shape
the
development
work,
the
developer.
R
It
establishes
standards
within
the
plan
that
the
development
needs
to
meet,
as
well
as
minimum
and
maximum
densities
for
area
ratios,
etc,
and
it
was
prepared
with
a
lot
of
community
input
which
I
will
get
into
in
a
minute.
R
The
area
is
actually
the
porter
is
one
of
the
probably
the
most
eclectic
mix
of
architectural
styles
from
many
different
eras
in
the
city's
history,
and
there
was
a
desire
to
preserve
that
eclectic
mix,
as
well
as
many
of
the
historic
properties,
both
within
the
village
and
and
concerned
about
the
effects
upon
adjacent
historic
properties.
R
There
was
a
desire
for
more
gathering
spaces
trails
improvements
throughout
roosevelt
park.
I
think
that's
a
typo,
but
improvements
to
parks
in
the
area,
desire
for
more
lighting
and
greenery
along
streets,
concern
about
displacement
of
people
being
displaced
because
of
new
development
and
the
desire
to
retain
existing
small
businesses.
R
Community
engagement
consisted
of
three
workshops.
The
first
two
were
in
person.
The
last
one
was
virtual.
We
did
an
online
survey,
we
got
a
lot
of
responses
through
that
vehicle.
We
had
drop
in
office
hours
where
community
members
could
come
and
talk
to
staff
about
the
plan,
and
we
had
four
meetings
with
community
leaders
throughout
the
process
to
get
their
input
and
talking
about
the
process
itself,
there
were
changes
to
the
village
boundary
essentially,
for
the
most
part
we
suck
the
boundaries
in.
R
We
shrunk
them
that
a
couple
reasons
for
that
one
is
we
just
that
it
was
determined
that
single-family
neighborhoods
that
were
intended
to
be
preserved,
particularly
as
it
is
laid
out
in
the
general
plan
now
and
were
not
appropriate
for
development.
It
didn't
make
sense
to
include
those
single-family
neighbors
within
the
village
boundary.
R
Also,
the
strategy
to
preserve
historic
resources
was
really
to
exclude
them
from
the
village
boundaries.
For
the
most
part,
properties
of
the
village,
boundary
are
seen
as
opportunities
for
new,
more
intense
growth,
and
so
the
approach
here
was
not
to
include
them
as
not
send
a
message.
The
wrong
message
to
the
about
redeveloping
those
properties,
also,
the
number
of
the
properties
are
excluded-
include
flow
development
potential
or
were
recently
developed.
In
addition,
I
should
note
that
the
county
properties
were
not
included.
R
We
did
initially
talk
to
the
county
about
being
part
of
the
process.
They
actually
really
wanted
to
be
part
of
a
village
process,
but
then
ultimately
decided
that
they
wanted
to
move
separately
through
their
own
master
planning
process.
So
they're
they're,
not
included
within
the
village
boundary
on
part
of
of
this
old
city
hall
site,
was
originally
and
the
rest
of
the
county
properties
were
not
already
and
are
not
changing.
R
So
the
landis,
as
you
know,
the
general
plan.
This
is
probably
the
most
important
piece
of
the
plan.
It
lays
out
the
land
use
fabric
for
new
development,
where
housing
would
go
where
a
commercial
would
go
where
there
would
be
a
mix
and
the
intensities
of
and
densities
of
that
land
use.
So
essentially,
what
you're
seeing
is
the
brown,
the
darker?
R
The
brown
is
the
higher
density
and
the
pink
is
the
very
sheets
of
pink:
are
commercial
land
uses,
so
there's
a
mix
of
residential
and
commercial
within
the
village
that's
proposed
tonight
urban
design
and
place
making
is
important
component
of
this
plan.
This
area
actually
already
is
a
great
place,
so
it's
more
about
building
off
of
what
makes
it
a
great
place
now,
preserving
it
and
enhancing
it,
making
sure
stuff
fits
in
with
the
wonderful
character
already
that
exists.
R
One
of
the
key
strategies
of
the
plan
is
to
is
again
to
replicate
and
preserve
and
enhance
that
eclectic
mix
of
architecture,
and
so
the
plan
has
guidelines
about
including
elements
of
the
many
different
styles
in
new
development
also
has
policies
about
ensuring
that
public
art
is
viewable
and
and
policies
related
to
and
stands
related
to
the
public
realm.
R
Those
design
guidelines
are
intended
to
be
the
guidelines
overall
for
the
city
and,
as
we
do
urban
village
plans
now,
we
we
generally
rely
on
those
city-wide
design
guidelines,
only
adding
more
guidelines
or
direction
when
there's
sort
of
unique
design
considerations
in
a
given
urban
village
such
as
this
one,
so
the
heights.
Let
me
talk
about
the
heights
a
little
bit,
so
the
the
current
zone
is
the
general
plan
does
actually
not
have
heights
in
it.
The
heights
are
contained
within
our
zoning
code.
R
The
existing
heights
in
our
zoning
code
are
shown
on
the
left.
They
vary
between
120
feet
to
200
feet
now
as
part
of
the
village
planning
process,
with
community
input
input
from
our
economists,
real
estate,
economists
and
we've
been
talking
to
property
owners.
We
did
adjust
those
heights
to
reflect
all
of
that
input
and
on
your
right,
you
see
the
proposed
heights
that
vary
between
200
feet
down
for
the
most
part.
I
think
there
might
be
one.
A
single
family
house
is
35
feet,
but
the
lowest
is
generally
50
feet,
so
they
they
vary.
R
So
again,
this
is
something
relatively
new
for
us.
Typically,
when
we
do
an
urban
village
plan,
not
that
long
ago
we
just
had
the
council
approve
the
urban,
the
general
plan
designation
changes,
but
now
for
sp
1333
charter
cities
such
as
san
jose
also
have
to
align
the
zoning
with
the
general
plan.
So
that
means
tonight
there's
a
number
of
zoning
code
changes,
property
rezonings
that
conform
to
the
urban
village
plan,
such
that
when
the.
R
R
R
R
R
So
so
the
alum
rock
business
displacement
study
concluded
in
2021
oc
oed,
is
now
pivoting
to
they're,
actually
including
north
first
street,
in
their
local
business,
walk
program
for
2022
to
get
to
know
the
businesses
there
find
out
what
their
needs
are
see
if
they
can't
help
address
those
needs.
R
They're
supporting
the
five
wounds,
urban
village
planning,
effort
to
address
small
business
displacement
and
right
now,
they're
they're,
going
to
undergo
a
process
to
review
the
outcomes
of
the
alum
rock
pilot
and
the
goal
really
here
is
not
a
hire
consultant
assist
the
city
to
develop
more
of
a
city-wide
approach.
So
the
focus
is
now
is
really
from
a
pilot
localized
to
develop
a
city-wide
approach,
and
this
is
what
staff
are
recommending.
R
R
There
was
a
direction
to
address
the
county
property
and
the
city
properties
adjacent
to
the
village
that
are
not
within
the
boundary
and
provide
some
sort
of
direction,
or
at
least
sort
of
what
the
plan
would
envision
for
those
areas
and
so
to
address
that
we
have
the
language
before
you
hear,
which
is
which
would
be
added
to
the
plan
and
what
it
says
is
well.
The
county
and
city
owned
sites
in
the
civic
center
area
are
not
within
the
boundaries
of
this
village
plan.
R
The
plan
supports
and
encourages
higher
density
intensity
uses
on
these
properties.
Should
they
redevelop
the
support
ridership
on
the
guadalupe
light
rail
line.
This
is
a
plan
supports
development
built
at
residential
densities
at
greater
than
fifty
dollars
to
acre
and
commercial
intensities
at
or
greater
than
a
floor
ratio
of
two
residential
and
or
commercial
development
is
also
envisioned
to
provide
ground
floor
commercial
space
along
north
first
street
to
activate
the
street
and
provide
space
for
neighborhood
serving
uses.
R
R
And
the
final
one
is
recommendation
for
just
acknowledging
that
there's
been.
There
is
a
concentration
of
bail
bonds
and
that's
been
a
sore
a
thorn
in
the
side
of
many
of
the
people
in
the
community.
We
also
propose
to
add
the
following
language.
This
plan
encourages
the
introduction
of
neighborhood
serving
businesses
to
enhance
the
local
community
and
avoid
over
concentration
of
one
type
of
business
business.
Excuse
me
not.
Businesses
such
as
bail
bonds,
businesses,.
D
A
A
O
A
A
A
North
first
all
those
properties
on
lord
sacon
and
trollion
northern
we
are
working
class
neighborhood,
the
homes
of
the
residents
are
the
biggest
assets
which
will
they
evaluate
and
they
are
losing
their
wealth.
So
we
would
like
help
and
get
this
situation
addressed.
We
are
not
against
higher
density.
We
just
want
our
concerns,
heard
and
addressed.
B
All
right,
thank
you.
I
you
know
for
this
item.
I
know
there's
been
some
really
interesting
work
by
the
vta
with
the
future
of
urban
village
work
that
was
was
very
inclusive
and
that
actually
worked
towards
mixed
income
ideas
for
all
income
levels,
which
was
interesting.
B
I
think
it
offers
an
amazing
flexibility
in
how
to
talk
about
the
future,
how
we
can
house
people
from
different
income
levels
comfortably.
So
good
luck
in
this
work.
In
the
previous
item,
I
used
the
words
very
low
income
and
low
income,
and
I'm
sorry
I
did,
I
meant
extremely
low
and
very
low
income.
I
would
like
to
be
able
to
start
talking
in
terms
what's
lower
than
that,
if
that's
possible,
how
do
we
talk
about
housing
that.
G
I
want
to
thank
san
lucardo,
raul,
perales
and
kelly
klein
for
their
work
on
this
issue,
particularly
around
allowing
more
flexibility
for
what
gets
built
on
that
northern
parcel
at
880
and
for
the
emphasis
on
walkable
transit-oriented
mixed-use
neighborhoods,
as
I
talked
about
in
my
letter
to
the
council
and
staff
early
this
morning.
I
just
want
to
build
on
a
point
in
there,
which
is
to
continue
to,
if
I
may
be
so
bold,
to
encourage
staff
and
council
members
to
play
a
role
in
allowing
greater
heights
and
greater
flexibility
on
these
urban
plans.
G
So
whether
or
not
you
hear
those
folks
on
a
day-to-day
basis
at
a
community
meeting,
we
are
here
in
the
community
and
we
want
to
see
more
housing
built
and
we
just
want
very
simply
planners
to
plan
the
best
possible
city
for
for
our
community
and
that
involves
providing
as
much
affordable,
housing
and
housing
overall
for
our
community,
so
encouraging
all
of
us
to
get
involved
in
these
conversations
and
allowing
more
development
to
happen
in
our
city,
as
I
think
our
city
residents
want.
Thank
you
so
much.
K
Hi,
thank
you.
This
is
jill
borders.
I
know
I
often
sound
sort
of
like
I'm
just
beating
on
the
same
drum,
but
it's
really
really
important
to
me
that
we
remember
what
happened
and
watching
this
particular
land
use
item
was
very
instructive
because
we
watched
or
were
watching
as
you
possibly
vote
on,
acknowledging
that
some
of
the
items
that
were
kind
of
up
zoned
to
send
a
signal
to
developers
that
higher
densities
would
be
what
the
city
would
would
prefer
or
want
or
allow.
K
That
is
why
we
had
this
general
plan
and
so
our
mobile
home
park
over
off
of
imperial
estates
and
many
others
were
targets
back.
When
the
plan
first
came
out
and
we
were
designated
to
be
different
things.
Our
particular
park
went
from
being
a
mobile
home
park
to
being
changed
to
commercial
neighborhood
community
commercial,
and
I
was
told
at
every
meeting
I
attended
like
I
was
no
offense
but,
like
I
was
an
idiot
for
saying,
you're,
hey,
you're,
sending
a
signal.
We
know
what
this
means.
K
You'd
rather
have
something
else
here
and
not
us,
and
so
now-
and
I
was
told
no,
that's
not
the
reason.
The
reason
is,
we
want
to
include
you
in
the
urban
village
planning.
Well,
in
the
2020
plan,
we
were
not
included
in
the
2020
little
priority
development
area.
The
only
thing
that
was
added
on
was
our
mobile
home
park,
and
that
was
the
similar
situation
with
other
mobile
home
park
as
well
mobile
home
parks
as
well,
and
the
reason
that
I'm
bringing
all
of
this
up
is.
K
We
need
to
number
one
not
wait
until
we
get
to
the
point
where
each
urban
village
is
addressed,
to
change
these,
to
have
the
mobile
home
overlay
and
number
two
for
people
to
start
being
honest
and
to
say
yeah,
that's
exactly
what
we
did
we
expanded
you
put.
You
in
your
urban
village,
gave
you
a
different
different
designation
to
send
a
signal
to
landowners,
which
is
exactly
what
you're
trying
to
do
now,
the
opposite
case
here,
so
I
know
it
can
be
done.
Thank
you.
T
D
Okay,
we
just
noticed
antonina
that
your
zoom
is
out
of
date.
D
Ludmila
is
out
of
date,
so
luke
miller
and
antonina
make
sure
your
software
is
up
to
date
and
put
your
hand
back
up
after
you
update
it
or
update
your
software,
and
we
have
one
speaker
after
those
two
and
it's
calling
user
one
tony.
D
D
To
download
the
most
recent
hold
on
calling
user,
but
if
you
go
to
your
software
and
check
for
updates,
it's
very,
very
quick
and
fast
in
calling
user
one
go
ahead.
G
G
G
It's
amazing
urban
villages.
You
know
I've
talked
to
other
people
around
the
country.
I
don't
know
what
an
urban
village
is.
This
must
be
like
a
san
jose
creation,
but
if
you
think
you're
going
to
do
high
density
urban
housing
with
no
parking
bad
mass
transit,
it's
not
going
to
work.
You
guys
know
this.
I
mean
this
is
the
new
thing
build
these
apartments
condos
with
no
parking
and
have
a
light
rail
that
goes
two
miles
an
hour
that
stops
not
going
to
work.
G
You
guys
know
it's
not
going
to
work,
it's
a
pipe
dream
and
it's
even
a
bigger
pipe
dream.
Since
marijuana
is
legal.
I
think
all
you
guys
are
smoking
dope
on
that.
On
that
city,
council
and
ralph
peralta
he's
like
a
hippie
on
lsd,
I
swear
to
god
this
guy's,
a
cop.
You
got
to
be
kidding
me,
he
teaches
kids.
Oh
no!
Wait
he's
he's
on
the
city
council,
making
laws.
This
is
crazy
too,
but
yeah.
This
is
all
a
lot
of.
This
is
driven
by
pam
foley.
G
Just
follow
all
the
way
to
her
real
estate
office
in
downtown
willow
glen
with
all
the
old
money
there.
You
can
see
who's
building
these
things,
so
you
know
there's
some
weird
real
estate
deals
going
on
everywhere
and
it's
interesting
how
it
usually
goes
back
to
the
city
council.
You
guys
should
just
call
yourself
a
real
estate
office.
Really,
you
guys
have
like
you
know
some
cheesy
furniture
and
a
you
know
grundig
machine
and
stuff
to
serve
people
coffee.
G
D
A
A
Oh
hi,
my
name
is
ludwig
and
I'm
calling
from
high
park,
which
is
the
area
located
between
1st
and
4th
street
and
heading
in
and
880..
So
the
reason
I'm
calling
is
have
been
reviewing
this
plan.
Since
you
know
you
know
the
first
a
meeting
came
up
and
though
I
am
very
understanding
and
sympathetic
about
the
need
to
you
know
to
to
increase
density.
You
know.
One
thing
that
has
been
concerning
to
me
is
the
lack
of
you
know
upgrades
in
the
infrastructure,
along
with
the
density.
A
You
know,
and
there's
always
this
idea,
that
you
know
that
you
need
the
density
you
know
to
have.
You
know
to
support
the
the
transit,
but
in
reality
you
know
we
already
have
a
transit
system.
That
is
completely
unsuitable.
You
know,
even
you
know,
any
short
trip
takes
between
45
minutes
and
an
hour,
and
we
know
that
because
my
husband,
you
know,
uses
the
system
extensively
because
he
cannot
drive
because
he's
in
a
wheelchair.
A
So
you
know
for
somebody
who
has
children
for
somebody
who
works,
and
you
know
the
idea
that
you
are
going
to
rely
on
public
trans.
You
know
transit
to
do
all
your.
A
In
creating
density,
based
on
the
assumption
that
we're
going
to
use
said
public
transfer
transit
is
ridiculous.
You
know,
if
you
are
doing
this
urban
village
plan,
you
also
have
to
make
necessary
investments
in
public
transit.
Also,
in
a
side
note,
you
know
as
a
child
care
provider.
You
know.
One
thing
that
is
always
interesting
to
me
is
that
in
none
of
these
urban
villages,
there's
any
zoning
allocated
for
child
care
or
community
resources.
You
know
for
early
childhood,
so
you
know
a
provider
has
a
hard
time
finding
said.
D
A
A
A
As
you
heard
from
mario,
my
neighbors
and
I
have
are
very
concerned
about
the
height
designation
for
these
buildings
on
the
east
side
of
this
portion
of
north
first
street
between
these
two
blocks,
areas
that
I
mentioned,
the
current
height
on
the
proposed
plan
is
50
feet.
So
a
building
this
high
could
block
our
sunlight
in
our
backyards.
Our
solar
panels
on
our
roofs,
so
this
building
height
would
directly
affect
those
homes
on
the
west
side
of
north
second
street
and
most
likely
the
homes
on
the
east
side
too.
C
C
C
There
we
go
yeah,
you
have
200
feet
designated
there
in
that
area
right.
So
if
we
keep
going
to
the
language,
what
you've
got
that
first
paragraph
that
you
threw
up
on
the
screen
was
discussion
about
residential
density
at
50
there
it
is
50
50
dwelling
units,
the
acre,
I
think,
that's
a
typo,
probably
a
single
acre
and
commercial
intensities
are
greater
than
a
floor
area
ratio
of
2.0.
R
A
R
Could
raise
those
numbers?
The
thinking
behind
this
is
on
the
residential
side
that
that's
the
transit
residential
landing
designation,
which
is
our
highest
density.
At
least
outside
of
downtown,
has
a
minimum
density
of
50
going
into
the
acre.
So
it
was
sort
of
using
the
logic
of
of
of
that
land
use,
designation,
transit,
support
of
residential
as
the
minimum
and
then
yeah,
but
oh
and.
C
I
understand
that
you
know
those
land
use
destinations
tend
to
have
a
wide
range
because
they're
playing
city-wide,
but
in
this
specific
instance,
we've
got
a
light
rail
stop
within
spitting
distance.
Wouldn't
we
want
to
be
more
ambitious
than
talking
about
minimums
that
were
higher.
R
C
I'd
say
I
mean
we've
already
got:
okay
with
the
swenson
tower,
went
12
or
14
stories
in
that
area.
I
can't
remember:
we
already
have
county
buildings
at,
I
think
12
stories
as
well.
R
Yeah
and
that's
fine,
I
think
we
just
want-
I
mean
just
you
know
we
can
change
this,
we're
comfortable
with
that.
Okay,
I
mean,
I
would
say,
the
minimum
bar
density
for
bart
is
75
billion
is
the
acre
for
our
board
station.
We
could
we
could
go
with
that.
I
mean.
R
I
mean
well,
so
this
is
where
you
start
to
get
into
actually
doing
land
use
planning
which
we
are
not
able
to
do
when
I
wrote
this
this
afternoon.
So
so
I
I
think
you
know
the
thought
is
to
have
a
lower
density
where
you
could
come
back,
but
I
mean
sure
I
mean
you
feel
for
a
hundred.
You
know,
I
think
the
type
of
development
that's
likely
to
be
built
would
probably
be
in
the
65
ish
75-ish
density
based
on
you
know
the
five
over
two
kind
of
model.
C
R
We
want
it,
it's
not
twice,
I
think,
that's
the
vendor.
I
think
it's
six
stories.
Six
or
seven.
It
looks
really
tall
because
of
what's
around
it,
but
it's
actually
not.
I
don't
think
it's
more
than
six
or
seven
stories,
but
regardless
of
that,
I
think
I
I
think
you
know
again.
We
just
need
council
direction,
we're
comfortable
with
change.
Raising
those.
C
R
Okay,
I
would
just
say:
if
we're
going
to
raise
the
density
of
the
dwelling
is,
I
would
raise
the
density
of
the
minimum
floor
area.
E
Yeah
thanks
mayor
I'm
comfortable
going
higher
too.
I
don't
know
if
I
have
a
suggestion
today,
but
obviously
we
have
some
pretty
tall
buildings
sitting
out
there
right
and
I
think
the
county
is
is
looking
at
some
some
tall
buildings
as
well.
So
I
certainly
would
be
comfortable
with
something
higher
but
I'll
leave
it
open
for
I'll
leave
it
open
for.
If
you
wanted
to
make
a
suggestion
mayor,
I
don't
know
if
they're
they're,
looking
for
an
exact
number
now
and
so
we'll
take
that.
E
But
I'll
at
least
you
know
offer
my
thanks
to
staff
for
their
work
on
this,
and
and
certainly
the
time
and
effort
put
in
this
is
likely
going
to
be
the
last
urban
village
that
I'll
be
able
to
approve,
as
the
council
representative
for
district
three
and
just
appreciate,
you
know
that
the
process
that
we've
gone
through
and
the
input
from
community
stakeholders
from
bendum
hyde
park
in
in
the
neighborhood
there
and
from
the
staff,
michael
and
jennifer
and
and
tracy
and
then
and
then
I
want
to
say
a
big
thank
you
to
my
team
too,
from
mindy
bridget
and
david
for
their
work
on
on
being
able
to
to
arrive
at
what
we
have
here
and
something
that
I
think
really
is
going
to
help
with
the
vibrancy
on
the
development
along
north
north
1st
street.
E
And
so
I
appreciate
that
I
do
need
to
make
one
correction.
The
memo
that
the
mayor
and
I
presented
mentioned
both
the
staff
recommendations
and
the
planning
commission
recommendations,
but
now
recognize
that
the
planning
commission
recommended
adding
north
burst
street
to
the
allen
rock
pilot,
and
that
should
not
be
included.
I
do
think
that
the
staff
recommendation
that
northwest
street
be
part
of
the
city-wide
approach
should
be
the
the
proper
direction
so
just
wanted
to
make
that
clarification
and,
like
I
said
I'll
I'll,
leave
it
up
to
mayor.
E
E
Okay,
so
I'll
make
I'll
make
a
motion
for
for
our
our
memo
with
that
clarification
on
the
planning
commission
recommendations
and
then
I'll
I'll
take
it
over
to
you.
If
you
wanted
to
make
an
amendment
on
what
the
height
should
be.
Okay,.
C
Thank
you,
councilmember
I'll.
Take
that
as
a
motion
I'll.
Second,
it
there's
a
second
from
vice
mayor,
michael
I'm,
just
looking
at
the
vendome
place
on.
You
know,
google
maps
and
you
can
pull
the
yellow
guy
onto
the
street,
so
he
can
look
around,
and
so
I'm
I'm
counting
eight
looks
like
eight
floors
of
windows
and
then
there's
that
sort
of
atrium
thing.
On
top
it
looks
like
kind
of
nine
stories,
but
I
can't
really
tell
so
does
that
look
like
to
you.
C
C
I
would
just
throw
out
then
100
units
of
the
acre
and
a
3.0
floor
area
ratio.
I
think
that
gives
everyone
the
idea.
Obviously
this
isn't
binding
because
most
of
this
isn't
our
land,
but
that
would
be
my
suggestion.
Councilmember.
Is
that
acceptable
to
you.
C
Okay,
it's
all
right
with
vice
mayor;
okay,
all
right,
so
it
is
other
questions
or
comments.
D
O
D
D
C
C
I'm
convening
all
those
folks
which
are
the
same
people
who
are
here
before
and
we're
gonna
have
here,
item
one
which
is
support
for
the
2023
moving
to
work.
Annual
plan
and
reagan
is
back
again.
T
C
Okay,
great,
thank
you.
Let's
go.
D
C
D
B
B
If
you
can
talk
about
them
at
some
point
here
tonight.
That
would
be
really
nice.
It's
important,
I
think,
to
have
a
bit
of
clarity
on
on
that
issue
and
to
work
to
strive
towards
an
honesty.
It
just
clear
up
an
awful
lot
for
myself
and
perhaps
for
others
at
this
time.
I'm
understanding
you
know
all
my
worries.
I've
been
offering
the
past
year
about
how
to
consider
2023.
B
Maybe
it
was
simply
waiting
for
putin
and
what
we're
going
to
have
to
go
through
now
in
the
next
year,
with
u.s
fossil
fuel
use
we're
going
to
have
to
put
up
a
new
resistance
to
making
u.s
fossil
fuel
easy
to
to
come
by,
without
all
said,
thanks
for
the
efforts
and
how
we
can
plan
very
wisely
and
and
politely
and
what
to
expect
for
2023.
B
I
hope
it
can
be
a
very
honest
set
of
memorandums
and
projects
we
can
all
be
focused
on
and
want
to
share
with
each
other
and
not
go
tickly
piggly
off
in
25
different
directions.
Thanks
a
lot
for
this
report.
C
All
right,
thank
you.
There's
a
memorandum
from
four
of
us.
I
think
my
colleagues
for
joining
on
that
memorandum
relating
to
seeing
how
we
can
do
more
to
engage
our
residents
in
in
jobs
that
create
pathways
to
self-sufficiency.
C
So
are
there
any
comments
from
my
colleagues
or
questions
or
emotions.
C
A
D
N
Q
C
Hi
and
I
wanted
to
say
by
the
way
thank
you
to
their
our
partners
at
the
housing
authority
at
clarity
is
on
and
we
appreciate
all
their
their
hard
work
on
behalf
of
our
residents.
T
C
Great
okay:
now
we've
got
open
forum.
G
G
You
know
there
could
be
maybe
startups
and
all
those
empty
storefronts.
Now
all
you
see
is
just
paper
in
the
windows.
Crispy
vomit
on
the
ground.
Feces
smells
like
urine
terrible.
It's
like
a
mini
san
francisco
with
nobody
around,
because
that
was
down
there
a
while
ago,
you
know
midweek
midday.
It
was
really
sad
and
you
think
you're
gonna
build
villages
and
build
all
these
things.
I
don't
I
don't
know
you
guys
need
to
revitalize
that
downtown.
G
I
mean
it
seems
as
if
they've
been
trying
to
do
this
like
50
years
down
there
and
it's
always
a
flop.
Nobody
lives
in
those
high
rises.
All
speculators
who
buy
them
there's
a
reason
why
they
can't
support
the
bars
or
restaurants
they
had
to
move
safeway
out
of
there
couldn't
couldn't
support
the
theater
stanford,
the
hammer
theater,
you
know
san
jose
state
bought
it
or
whatever.
G
There's
the
movie
theater
closed,
I.
B
G
It's
sad
down
there.
People
I
mean
it
looks
like
it
looks
like
a
depressed
area
that
has
no
money.
I
want
to
know
what
the
problem
is
that
you're
going
to
try
to
build
all
these
places,
but
you
neglect
the
downtown.
You
don't
see
what's
going
on,
you
think
these
high-rises
are
gonna,
save
you
day
or
not.
They
put
fake
furniture
in
those
windows.
They
put,
they
have
the
lights
turn
on
at
certain
times,
no
one's
living
down
there
and
it's
really
sad.
They
get
all
the
subsidies.
Your
public
housing
projects
become
bankrupt.
G
B
Hi
blair
beekman
thanks
a
lot
for
the
meeting
today
it
was
nice
to
be
a
public,
commenter
and
participant
not
fully
sure,
but
trying
to
offer
my
opinion
and
just
some
you
know,
basic
broad
ideas
and-
and
thanks
for
your
patience
to
hear
I
you
know
I
I
have
been
speaking
on.
You
know
the
subjects
of
what
to
expect
in
2023
for
a
year
and
a
half
now
about
natural
disaster
issues.
B
Maybe
it
really
is
about
putin
and
the
future
of
energy
and
what
we
have
to
deal
with
energy
issues
in
2023
and
24..
We
may
be
getting
a
whole
new
set
of
energy
choices
that
are
going
to
be
based
on
a
new
u.s
fossil
fuel.
Push
we
got
to
say
no,
we
got
to
say
no
to
the
a
big
new
push
in
nuclear
energy
they're,
going
with
all
the
big
stuff.
B
That's
an
awesome
concept
and
we
really
have
to
work
at
a
bargaining
place
of
peace
for
the
future
of
the
ukraine
area
and
not
let
things
you
know
spiral
out
a
continual
war.
How
do
we
develop
constructive
ways
towards
towards
peaceful
ideas
for
everyone
for
all
sides
with
30
seconds?
Very
much
of
a
thank
you
to
sylvia
arenas.
Uranus
last
week,
who
spoke,
and
the
madman
too,
some
interesting
ideas
of
budgeting
silver,
rihanna's
uranus
asked
why
not
we
just
offer
what
we're
already
doing
well
and
make
that
more
open
in
public.
B
I
think
that
would
please
people
like
the
previous
caller
a
lot
and,
to
conclude,
you
know
the
the
I
hope
you
can
come
back
next
week
with
with
rent
forgiveness
ideas
and
we
can
really
work
on
these
things.
Still.
There
are
two
ways.
D
K
Borders
hi.
Thank
you.
I
want
to
start
with
a
compliment
to
the
city.
I
saw
there's
this
huge
huge.
You
know
one
of
these
garbage
patches.
I
call
them
on
the
corner
of
winfield
and
thornwood
and
it
had
an
appliance
there
and
I
had
never
downloaded
that
311
app
and
I
thought
oh,
my
gosh.
I
have
no
excuse
now,
so
I
downloaded
the
app
and
filed
a
kind
of
garbage
report
and
the
appliance
report,
and
it
was
great
I
I
can't
believe
I
have
waited
this
long
to
do
it.
K
So,
if
anybody's
listening
download
the
app
anyway,
it
was
gone
within
24
hours
and
I
was
able
to
click
on
the
report
and
read
what
had
been
written
got
get
a
response,
so
that
was
impressive.
Thank
you
to
all
that.
Make
that
happen
all
of
that
behind
putting
311
together
the
people
that
come
out
and
actually
get
the
unit.
All
everybody.
Thank
you
that
was
great.
K
The
garbage
was
not
picked
up
because
I
was
told
that
was
private
property,
so
I
did
get
a
hold
of
the
general
manager
at
westfield
oakridge
and
bless
his
heart
over
that
weekend.
It
was
all
cleaned
up
as
well,
so
I'm
feeling
pretty
happy
over
here
now
with
all
this
cleaned
up,
so
that
was
great
and
I
want
to
share
some
good
stuff
that
happens.
So
thank
you,
everyone
for
all
of
those
things
and
the
one
comment
I
have
that
I'd
really
like
to
see
change
in
the
planning
department.
K
There
are
at
least
three
different
project
numbers
for
the
exact
same
project,
so
I'm
finding
that
it's
impossible
to
almost
go
back
and
just
capture
all
these
and
do
the
research
I'm
wondering.
Why
does
it
get
an
h?
Why
does
it
get
a
pre?
Why
does
it
get
an
sp?
What
how
does
that
change
I've
inquired
of
the
planning
department,
but
you
guys
are
busy.
D
A
Yeah,
I'm
calling
as
a
resident
this
evening
an
open
forum
of
district
7
over
here
in
san
jose,
and
I
want
to
see
if
there's
any
way
the
the
city
council
can
listen
to
my
plea
of
start
using
the
war
and
house
instead
of
homeless.
B
A
B
A
A
C
Are
we
back
to
council
for
give
me
I'm
sorry
we're
back
to
council
all
right,
I'd
like
to
adjourn
at
this
time?
Thank
you.
Everybody.
