A
We
prayed
that
we
would
have
the
eyes
to
see
how
our
lives
are
all
connected
and
how
our
coming
good
is
uphold
when
we
listen
and
respond
to
those
most
vulnerable,
Among
Us
may
your
truth
be
revealed.
May
your
light
shine
brighter
May,
the
voices
of
those
most
silenced
be
heard
loud
and
clear,
Define
their
cause,
oh
God,
through
this
governing
body
today
we
pray
for
wisdom
for
strength
for
college
to
do
what
is
right
and
good
for
all
citizens.
A
May
we
put
the
interests
of
others
above
our
own?
May
we
act
with
love
for
the
common
good.
May
we
be
good
neighbors
recognizing
your
image
in
every
person
here
we
thank
you
again
for
this
Council,
our
major
our
city
staff,
our
First
Responders,
Hospital
staff,
police
officers
and
all
those
who
work
to
make
this
place.
We
call

the
name
of
Jesus,
whose
perfect
love
set
us
free
from
all
our
fears,
amen,
God
bless
you
all.
B
All
right.
We,
we
have
two
ceremonial
items,
we'll
begin
with
an
item
from
council
member
Carrasco,
we'll
recognize
and
commit
Mario
Gonzalez
for
being
appointed
as
coach
of
International
Alliance
I
believe
councilman
cross
goes
with
us.
Virtually
is
that.
B
And
is
Mr
Gonzalez
with
us?
Oh
he's
here
in
person
perfect.
B
B
Councilmember
Costco,
please
take
it
away.
Okay,.
H
Great
thank
you.
So
much
I
was
just
waiting
for
the
green
light
well
good
afternoon.
Everyone
and
welcome
back
to
our
first
session
of
of
the
Fall
I'm
very
grateful
to
be
able
to
present
this
Commendation
I'm
always
excited
when
we're
recognizing
our
very
own
from
the
east
side
of
San
Jose.
But
this
one
is
particularly
special
as
many
of
our
kiddos
make
their
way
back
to
school.
H
I
wanted
to
take
the
time
to
recognize
coach,
Mario
Gonzalez,
who,
through
the
summer
and
really
I,
want
to
add
that
throughout
the
entire
year
he's
been
keeping
our
kiddos
engaged
and
active
playing
Futsal
coach
Mario
is
as
East
Side
as
they
get
having
been
raised,
just
a
long
block
from
Story
Road.
He
attended,
Sylvia,
Cassell,
Elementary
and
other
Eastside
middle
and
high
schools
and
ultimately
attended
San
Jose,
City
College,
where
he
dominated
the
football
scene.
H
Coach
Mario
would
play
with
his
neighborhood
friends
organizing
games
of
Sandlot
football
versus
other
neighborhoods.
He,
like
many
others,
many
other
youth
became
engaged
with
the
after-school
Recreation
programs
provided
by
our
beautiful
city
of
San
Jose,
never
forgetting
Mr
Peterson,
their
after-school
leader.
As
a
kid.
He
marched
with
UAW
and
ufw.
Alongside
of
the
late
and
great
Cesar
Chavez,
they
started
along
San
Antonio
Road.
H
They
made
their
way
through
East
San,
Jose
grocery
markets
and
mostly
boycotting
Gallo
wine
grapes
and
Coors
beer
if
you're
a
sporty
family,
you've
probably
interacted
with
Coach
through
through
one
of
these
either
the
Mayfair
Little
League,
baseball
football,
Eastside,
Youth,
Athletic,
Club,
Buccaneer
Pirates
and
the
Raiders,
or
the
youth
soccer
leagues,
like
Alum
Rock
soccer
league
and
San
Jose
youth
soccer
league
coach
Mario
was
a
volunteer
at
Boys
and
Girls
Club
on
the
east
side
and
then
landed
a
job
at
Maxa
and
our
historic
Mayfair
neighborhood,
where
he
started.
H
The
maksa
Futsal
League
that
has
now
evolved
into
Legends
photon
coach,
built
out
such
a
popular
program
that
parents
from
affluent
areas
such
as
Palo,
Alto
and
Danville,
drove
all
the
way
to
East
San
Jose
just
to
Simply
register
their
children,
and
now
he
celebrates
the
11th
year
of
Legends,
Futsal
and
26
years.
Truly.
In
all,
it's
been
a
pleasure
to
know
and
understand
the
depth
of
Coach
Mario's
work,
both
professionally
and
personally.
My
three
kiddos
were
coached
by
him.
One
summer
and
they
still
hold
very
fond
memories.
H
Recently
I,
along
with
our
prns
department,
unveiled
the
newly
resurfaced
Futsal
Courts
at
Capitol
Park,
an
asset
that
coach
Mario
breathes
life
into
coach,
Mario
being
the
valued
and
recognized
Community
leader
that
he
is
has
brought
in
brought
in
a
massive
crowd
and
the
turnout
was
full
of
enthusiasm
and
excitement
and
throughout
it
all
was
the
unifying
Factor.
It
was
coach,
Mario
himself,
adults
were
able
to
recount
their
days
playing
at
Maxa
and
kiddos
were
beaming
with
happiness
as
they
played
on
our
brand
new
courts.
H
Join
me
in
a
chair
as
well
for
Coach
Mario's.
Coaching
career
was
just
internationally
recognized
as
he
was
invited
to
participate
as
one
of
five
coaching
staff
in
the
international
Futsal
league
and
prestigious
Partnership
of
a
number
of
countries
it
Formed
has
which
has
formed
to
offer
high
quality
International
tournaments
across
the
world.
This
year's
World
Championship
in
Spain,
will
be
one
to
watch.
We're
excited
for
your
success,
coach
Mario
and
wish
you
and
the
kiddos
the
very
best.
H
All
in
all
coach
Mario
shows
us
that
sports
are
fun,
impactful
and
capable
of
inspiring
change,
and,
while
his
office
may
be
littered
with
trophies
accolades,
I
truly
believe
that
the
most
valuable
thing
that
he's
earned
is
the
love
and
the
trust
and
the
admiration
of
our
community.
I
want
to
thank
you,
coach
for
being
here.
I
want
to
thank
you
for
your
leadership
and
your
impactful
work
and
I.
Ask
our
mayor
to
present
the
accommodation
and
if,
if
you
will
say
a
few
words
as
well.
J
I
would
like
to
first
of
all
thank
council
member
Magdalena
Carrasco
and
her
District
Five
staff.
I
was
mentioning
to
her
staff
that
I've
been
involved
in
District
5
for
many
many
years.
I
think
back
part
I
can
remember
is
when
Manny
Diaz
was
in
District
Five
over
there
really
good
helpful
when
I
was
working
at
moxa,
but
this
team,
this
District
Five
staff,
is
they're
down
there,
where
the
rubber
hits
the
road
and
they're
pounding.
J
So
I
really
want
to.
Thank
you
guys
very
much.
The
participants
that
came.
Thank
you
very
much.
I
I
love
working
in
the
east
side
living
the
east
side,
I
grew
up
in
the
east
side
and
Legends
has
become
still
existing
because
of
players,
families,
assistants.
J
We
have
a
lot
of
help,
so
Legends
is
built
by
a
community.
It's
a
community-ran
organization,
and
it's
it's
beautiful.
It's
wonderful!
We
there's
a
lot
going
on
there's
so
much
and
and
I
we're
gonna
try
to
keep
it
going
as
long
as
we
can
but
I
appreciate
it.
I
appreciate
it
Council
and
mayor
for
this
I
feel
with
the
loss
of
words
but
I.
Thank
you,
Winona
and
Nora
for
showing
up
also
appreciate
it
feels
good.
Thank
you
very
much.
District
Five.
B
Foreign,
thank
you
Mario
for
all
that
you
do
councilmember.
As
far
as
I
has
agreed
to
step
in
on
behalf
of
council
member
Uranus
to
recognize
and
Proclaim
August's
breastfeeding
awareness
month
and
so
she's
making
her
way
down
now.
G
So,
while
we're
getting
together
just
like
to
say
good
afternoon,
thank
you
for
joining
us
as
the
city
of
San
Jose
recognizes
August
as
breastfeeding.
Awareness
Month
council
member
Arenas
asked
me
to
fill
in
for
her,
since,
unfortunately,
she
couldn't
be
with
us
in
person
today,
but
I'd
like
to
thank
her
and
acknowledge
her
leadership
in
recognizing
and
calling
attention
to
this
important
cause.
G
This
month
is
dedicated
to
advancing
advocacy
protection
and
the
promotion
of
breastfeeding
to
ensure
that
all
families
have
the
opportunity
to
breastfeed
all
major
medical
authorities
recommend
that
mothers
and
birthing
people
breastfeed
exclusively
for
six
months
and
continue
breastfeeding
for
at
least
the
first
year
of
a
child's
life.
If
they
can.
G
Breast
milk
is
the
best
source
of
nutrition
for
most
babies,
providing
a
variety
of
vitamins
and
minerals
that
help
babies
grow
big
and
strong.
Unfortunately,
it's
not
always
easy
for
mothers
and
birthing
people
to
find
the
support
they
need,
while
breastfeeding
leading
60
percent
of
mothers
to
stop
breastfeeding
sooner
than
recommended.
G
The
task
force
is
a
collaborative
effort
of
different
agencies
and
individuals,
including
Santa
Clara,
County,
Public,
Health,
Roots,
Community,
Clinic,
mother's
milk,
Bank,
the
nursing,
mothers,
Council
Stanford
medicine
and
the
California
maternal
Quality.
Care
collaborative
member
Partners
also
include
private
practicing
lactation
Consultants.
G
The
breastfeeding
task
force
has
connected
thousands
of
community
members,
including
pregnant
teens
and
teen
parents,
with
resources
to
navigate
the
formula
shortage,
such
as
where
to
find
formula
and
using
safe,
alternate
formulas
as
well
as
information
around
relaxation
human
milk,
feeding
and
combination
feeding
for
the
month
of
August.
The
task
force
is
hosting
events
to
honor
breastfeeding,
including
a
breastfeeding
community
resource
Fair
happening
tomorrow,
August
10th
at
the
Gardner
Downtown
Health
Center
from
10
a.m
to
2
P.M.
K
Good
afternoon,
everyone
and
thank
you,
council,
members
and
everyone
else
here,
so
it's
really
a
great
honor
to
receive
this
Proclamation
on
behalf
of
the
Santa
Clara
Valley
task
force,
and
thank
you
all
of
you
for
standing
right
there
behind
me.
I
do
want
to
take
a
few
more
moments
and
say
a
few
words
so
every
year
there
is
a
theme
for
this
breastfeeding
month
and
this
year
the
team
is
together.
We
do
great
things
and
I
think
this
is
a
right
time
to
kind
of
acknowledge
that.
K
Yes,
we
all
need
to
work
together
to
make
sure
that
there
is
enough
support
for
birthing
parents
who
choose
to
breastfeed
chess
feed
or
provide
human
milk
to
their
babies.
It
is
less
a
question
of
not
knowing
the
benefits
of
breastfeeding
because
as
many
pregnant
women,
they
do
intend
to
breastfeed
when
they're
pregnant.
So
even
if
we
take
the
case
of
Santa
Clara
County,
95
percent
of
pregnant
women
had
decided,
or
they
intended
to
breastfeed
when
asked
before
their
baby
was
born.
K
But
when
we
looked
at
the
reality,
less
than
40
percent
of
babies
actually
received
exclusive
mother's
milk
or
breast
milk.
So
three
months
of
age,
whereas
the
recommendation
is
six
months,
so
this
really
goes
on
to
show
that
they're
they
really
need
a
lot
of
support
boarding
parents
they
need
support
not
just
from
their
families
but
from
communities,
workplaces,
city
and
county
governments
and
Healthcare
systems.
And
on
top
of
this,
when
we
look
at
racial
ethnic
numbers,
there
is
still
a
huge
staggering
disparity
with
these.
K
What
we
are
doing
at
the
task
force.
We
are
really
trying
and
working
to
create
this
environment
of
support.
We
are
connecting
with
providers
providing
them
education.
We
are
providing
awareness
at
the
community
level
and
then
also
connecting
with
several
stakeholders
at
the
grassroot
level
to
kind
of
build
this
partnership
to
erase
this
racial
ethnic
inequity.
K
I
also
want
to
take
a
moment
to
thank
all
the
members
of
our
task
force,
who
work
tirelessly
with
one
goal
in
their
mind
that
they
need
to
take
care
of
the
health
of
their
babies
and
our
mother
and
breast
aborting
parents.
Thank
you
so
much.
K
B
Ers
of
the
day,
I'd
like
to
make
one
change
to
the
printed
agenda.
I've
noticed
we've
got
a
very
heavy
calendar.
Today
we
have
a
very
light
calendar
next
Tuesday,
so
I
was
going
to
suggest
that
we
do
everything
we
can
get.
Everything
done,
that
we
can
between
now
and
the
five
o'clock
dinner
break
at
that
time,
whatever
we're
not
able
to
accomplish,
we
will
defer
until
next
week.
B
So
that
way,
when
we
begin
the
evening
session,
where
we've
got
many
land
use
items
I
think
we
know
we're
gonna
we're
gonna
fill
up
that
evening
with
everything
we've
got
on
the
calendar,
so
I'm
just
checking
in
here
with
Lee
to
make
sure
I
know
there
are
a
couple
items
we
definitely
need
to
treat
this
week.
Is
that
right?
Maybe
you
could
Point
those
out
to
us.
A
Thank
you,
Mayor
Lee,
we'll
talk
to
assistant
city
manager
and
it
is
noted
on
the
agenda
to
be
heard
at
six,
but
8.3
does
need
to
be
heard
tonight
and
approved
by
the
council
so
that
we
can
submit
that
to
the
federal
government
by
the
due
date
of
later
this
week.
All
other
items
could
technically
be
moved
into
next
week
if
they
weren't
able
to
be
heard
by
the
council
today
and.
L
B
Still
moved,
all
right
is
it
motion.
Second
I
know:
customer
Davis
has
an
important
adjournment
today.
Coushard
Davis.
C
Thank
you
mayor.
We
are
adjourning
today's
meeting
in
memory
of
Italo
Mario
Franco
oliverio,
her
Luigi
oliveirio's
father,
who
passed
away
just
short
of
his
93rd
birthday.
Earlier
this
summer.
He
was
born
in
Calabria
Italy
and
laid
to
rest
on
July
22nd
after
attending
a
Jesuit
seminary
in
Italy
Italo
migrated
to
the
United
States
and
graduated
from
Wayne
State
University.
C
He
was
beloved
by
his
students
who
appreciated
atallo's
empathy
and
the
personal
connection
he
made
with
them,
as
well
as
his
sense
of
humor
in
the
classroom.
Italo
and
Matilda
were
married,
just
shy
of
60
years
and
are
survived
by
two
sons.
Sergio
and
per
Luigi
Attalla
will
be
remembered
as
a
devoted
husband,
dedicated
father
and
an
all-around
kind-hearted
soul
to
those
who
were
fortunate
enough
to
know
him.
M
B
You
councilmember
Davis.
Our
heart
goes
out
to
councilmember
oliverio
and
his
family,
his
mama's
brother,
all
right,
there's
an
emotion
on
orders
of
the
day.
Let's
vote.
A
L
A
A
B
Thank
you
item.
3.1
is
a
report
of
our
city
manager,
Jennifer.
A
Those
I
do
have
one
it's
about
our
a
recent
Innovation
award
that
we
just
received
the
city
of
San
Jose,
received
the
2022
Innovation
award
from
the
San
Jose
Chamber
of
Commerce
to
recognize
the
city's
creation
of
the
Alfresco
program
during
the
covid-19
pandemic,
Alfresco
was
initiated
in
May
2020
by
Mayor
Sam,
licardo
and
city
council
member
Dev
Davis,
with
the
goal
of
making
it
easier
for
restaurants
and
shops
to
continue
serving
customers
during
Public
Health
restrictions
by
moving
operations,
Outdoors
to
on-street
parking
spaces
or
parklets
city,
sidewalks,
public
and
private
parking,
lots
parks
and
plazas.
A
Alfresco's
success
continues
to
this
day
as
outdoor
business
operations
remain
very
popular
among
businesses
and
customers.
Long
after
restrictions
have
been
lifted.
The
city
is
now
working
on
improving
the
existing
parklet
program,
which
includes
a
grant
program
and
funding
for
the
Knight
Foundation
to
transition.
A
Parklets
from
temporary
to
permanent
I
would
like
to
congratulate
and
thank
the
many
City
departments
that
work
together
to
plan
Implement
and
manage
Alfresco
planning,
building
and
code
enforcement,
City
attorney
cultural,
the
economic
development
and
cultural
Affairs,
Environmental
Services
fire
Information,
Technology
parks,
recreation,
Neighborhood,
Services,
the
Police
Department
Public,
Works
and
transportation
department.
It
truly
takes
a
village
to
to
do
this
and
thank
you
very
much.
B
Thank
you,
and
thanks
to
bloggers
in
particular
I
know.
She's
worked
really
hard
with
a
lot
of
Outreach
to
a
lot
of
businesses
to
desperately
needed
help
during
that
very
difficult
time.
Okay
I
want
to
move
now
to
item
3.3
unless
there
are
any
questions
from
the
Council
on
3.1
I
don't
see.
A
Anything,
yes,
you
missed
consent,
yeah.
B
How
did
I
do
that
I?
Guess
we
better
go
there
yep
holy
moly,
all
right
still
in
that
summer,
fog,
all
right,
I
guess
we'll
do
the
consent,
calendar
and
any
items
that
the
council
like
to
pull
from
consent.
B
B
Okay,
I
I'd
like
to
pull
item
two
points
13.,
which
relates
to
the
consultant
agreement
for
soft
story.
Seismic
retrofit
program,
retrofits
and
I-
don't
know
if
anybody
might
be
here,
the
kip
or
Chris
or
anybody.
This
is
really
coming
out
of
note
with
no
advance
notice.
So
Kip
thanks
for
your
willingness
to
take
the
question.
B
So
why
don't?
We
call
that
item
first
2.13,
which
are
the
soft
story
retrofit
consultant
agreement,
David
bonowitz,
Kip
I,
appreciate
that
we're
getting
moving
with
this
study.
That
needs
to
be
done
to
really
identify
the
specific
apartment
buildings
that
are
seismically,
vulnerable
I
know
we
had
an
earlier
San,
Jose
State
study.
What
20
years
ago
that
estimated
we
may
have
as
many
as
1100
apartment
units.
That's
many
thousands
of
San
Jose
residents
who
could
be
quite
vulnerable
during
an
earthquake.
B
My
question
is
this:
knowing
that
we
certainly
don't
have
the
resources
to
go
fix
all
these
apartment,
buildings
and
I'm
guessing
the
owners
are
probably
going
to
say
the
same.
Does
it
make
sense
for
us
in
parallel,
while
we're
doing
this
study
to
be
doing
something
to
incentivize
or
remove
obstacles
before
the
actual
retrofitting
itself,
in
other
words,
announcing
some
kind
of
fee
waiver
program
for
folks
who
are
ready
to
to
install
whatever
improvements
may
be
necessary
to
make
these
buildings
safe?
N
E
Mayor,
thank
you
for
the
question.
Kip
Harkness,
Deputy
city
manager,
I
think
it
makes
absolute
sense
to
do
that.
Work
in
parallel
and
I
think
there
are
two
chunks
of
that
that
I
I
think
are
probably
most
relevant
though
there
may
be
others.
One
is
how
do
we
simplify
the
development
process
so
that
it's
easy
to
go
through?
What
we've
thought
about?
Is
there
probably
a.
E
E
Is
to
see
if
there
are
Financial
mechanisms
that
Banks
or
credit
unions
or
others
would
be
willing
to
provide
in
terms
of
a
product
that
people
could
take
out
a
longer
Term
Loan
and
pay
the
cost
back
over
an
appropriate
period
of
time,
because
I
think
I
suspect
that
The
Upfront
investment
of
the
actual
construction
is
going
to
be
bigger
than
the
cost
of
the
development
fees.
So
we'd
want
to
be
able
to
smooth
out
both
if
possible.
E
B
B
Great
look
forward
to
continuing
the
conversation
offline,
I
know:
we've
been
looking
at
PACE
programs
and
other
ideas
about
how
we
can
possibly
help.
Folks
kick
start
some
of
these
retrofits,
because
I.
B
F
Thank
you.
Thank
you
for
raising
this
issue
and
pulling
it
off
consent.
It's
actually
a
really
important
item
and
keep
you
brought
up
something
that
piqued
my
interest
a
little
bit
and
I
thought
I'd
offer
a
suggestion
regarding
financing.
Fha
does
have
loans
that
assist
in
homeowner,
retrofit
and
Rehab,
so
that
might
be
worth
looking
at
I
wish.
I
was
an
expert
in
FHA,
Loans
I'm,
not
but
I.
Think
it's
like
a
203
plan
or
something
like
that.
F
So
if
you
want
I'm
sure
FHA
on
their
website,
they
have
some
information,
but
there's
a
lot
of
information
about
loans
that
can
help
people
get
projects
done.
B
O
Yes,
Paul
still
from
horseshoe
is
a
point
of
order.
There
is
public
comment
when
there
are
changes
made
in
orders
of
the
day,
and
you
skip
that.
Just
like
that
noted
the
inside
your
document,
you
state
that
there's
11
000
Apartments
and
you
assumed
22
000
residents,
which
means
you're,
assuming
that
there
is
two
occupants
per
apartment.
O
That's
I
mean
that's.
That's
like
you're
really
challenging
people's
ability
to
trust
these
documents,
because
that's
false
with
the
density
of
per
square
mile
in
these
populated
areas,
you're
not
taking
that
data
into
account,
and
you
have
that
data
I
know
for
a
fact.
You
have
that
data
and
you're,
not
inserting
that
in
these
documents.
So
there's
far
more
people
at
risk
than
is
noted
in
this
document,
this
22
000.
O
You
could
times
that
by
three
because
and
and
you'd
be
a
little
close
to
being
accurate,
and
so
most
of
the
like
crimes
that
are
being
committed
within
the
city
are
being
committed
on
this
consent
calendar
and
with
respect
to
this
particular
document,
I
just
gave
you
one
particular
example,
and
this
is
the
reason
why
all
of
these
policies,
especially
with
as
many
council
members
and
mayor
that
is
going
out
and
they're
not
going
to
assume
any
kind
of
responsibility
we,
the
citizens,
are
going
to
be
left
to
clean
up
your
mess
that
you
make
during
these
consent
calendar
items
and
these
documents,
so
the
example
of
22
000
people
within
a
particular
region
in
your
accounting
that
for
11
000
apartments.
O
D
Beekman
here
interesting
words
from
Paul.
D
Thank
you
interesting
words
from
Paul.
D
Parts
the
first
part
he
mentioned
that
public
comment
was
not
offered
during
rule
changes
during
orders
of
the
day.
The
mayor
has
consistently
and
continuously
worked
orders
of
the
Day
based
on
his
own
discretion.
When
to
ask
for
public
comment.
I
have
continuously
asked.
There
should
be
a
way
to
create
a
steady,
consistent
way
to
ask
for
public
comment,
maybe
one
minute
consistently
each
week
to
allow
for
public
comment
at
that
time.
D
Along
with
the
you
know,
a
few
consent,
calendar
changes
and
and
and
and
ways
public
comment
can
be
allowed
for.
City
managers
reporting
the
City
attorney
closed
session
report.
That
has
to
be
kind
of
obligatory
to
allow
public
comment
that
the
mayor
continuously
uses
his
own
discretion
about
and
doesn't
offer
a
procedural
way
to
do
that
correctly.
Each
week,
I
think
we
really
have
to
work
on
that
issue.
Paul
made
up
a
very
good
point:
Thank
you
his
second
point
about
about
statistics
needed
for
you
know
the
future
of
these
housing
issues.
D
Thank
you
for
that.
I
I.
Come
from
the
point
of
view
that
you
know
these
sort
of
retrofit
processes
have
been
incredibly
needed
for
ourselves.
As
a
city
for
for
years
now-
and
that
has
been
talked
about
by
Jackie,
Duran
and
others
as
a
way
to
really
talk
about
a
feature
of
a
community
process
that
is
it's
more
safe
for
all
sides
of
the
community
and
it
builds
trust
and
it
builds
good
relationships-
you're
doing
these
things
now.
D
So
thank
you
for
that,
and
good
luck
to
continue
how
this
can
build
relationships
between
all
parts
of
a
community.
Thank
you.
B
Thank
you
and
for
clarification,
Kip
I
believe
the
estimate
on
the
residents
that
was
actually
given
by
the
engineering
department
of
San
Jose
State
that
wasn't
City
studies
that
right.
E
B
Yeah
and
that
was
San
Jose's
work
and
I
certainly
agree,
there's
probably
many
more
residents
per
apartment.
Okay.
That
item
well
before
we
take
a
motion.
Let
me
now
move
to
another
item
on
consent.
B
That
I
should
have
called
out
that
I
didn't
that's
2.5
the
council
travel
report,
I
spent
part
of
my
summer
break
traveling
with
the
open
space
Authority
as
well
as
assembly
member
ashkara,
and
a
couple
of
scientists
from
California,
Dr,
Chu
and
Dr
Dina
merlander,
as
well
as
some
senior
exec
officials
in
the
governor's
office,
Virginia
Jamison
from
Department
of
food
and
AG,
as
well
as
the
natural
resources
agencies,
deputy
director,
Jennifer
Norris.
B
We
went
to
to
France
as
part
of
a
partnership
between
the
open
space
Authority
and
terracity
day.
So
teresite
is
a
the
French
nonprofit
that
works
to
preserve
and
enhance
our
cultural
lands
on
the
plateau
de
succlay.
We
have
a
partnership
because
they
are
essentially
trying
to
also
preserve
a
large
area
of
open
space.
They
are
further,
along
than
we
are
particularly
in
exploring
Concepts
around
Urban
agriculture
and
expanding
agriculture
use
in
in
and
in
an
open
space
area.
B
As
while
they're
containing
development,
we
learned
an
awful
lot
about
the
work
they're
doing
as
well
as
some
interesting
Concepts
that
are
starting
to
gain
Traction
in
Europe
around
called
Net
Zero
urbanization.
Happy
to
talk
more
about
that,
so
probably
be
proposing
something
similar
here
and-
and
we
also
explored
some
of
the
things
that
have
been
underway
here.
That
I
know
that,
for
example,
councilman
Ramen
is
a
proposed
around
climate
credits
program.
It's
under
development
for
Coyote
Valley.
B
B
Osa
is
very
deeply
invested
in
that
figuring
out
how
we
can
grow
our
local
food
supply
and
also
improve
carbon
sequestration
down
in
coyote
and
other
areas
of
open
space,
and
it
was
really
important
having
those
State
Partners
along
because
the
governor's
initiative
around
30
by
30
is
going
to
be
really
Central
for
us
to
acquire
more
land
and
preserve
more
open
space
in
this
region.
B
So
it
was
very
helpful,
informative
trip
and
we'll
be
bringing
some
of
those
ideas
forward
in
the
weeks
and
months
ahead,
and
with
that
I
conclude
my
travel
report.
If
anyone
would
like
to
offer
their
travel
reports,
this
would
be
a
good
time,
if
not
we'll
go
to
public
comment.
O
O
I
I
I
I
couldn't
believe
that
I
heard
the
comment
that
we
are
working
to
grow
a
local
food
source.
This
coming
from
the
mayor
of
the
city,
that
was
the
largest
producer
of
agricultural
fruit
in
the
world
and
so
to
to
hear
the
leader
of
my
city
talk
and
make
a
comment
like
that,
knowing
the
space
that
he
is
leading
or
not
leading,
but
serving
it's
it's.
It's
like
paradoxical.
O
It's
paradoxical
and
contradictory
because
we
San
Jose
is
the
was
the
largest
producer
of
food.
So
we
already
know
how
to
sustain
it.
You
know
it's
it's
it's
the
political
will
and
the
ability
to
put
a
check
on
development
that
is
going
to
determine
our
success
or
failure.
We
don't
need
to
go
to
France.
We
really
don't.
All
we
need
to
do
is
access
the
Native
American
population
that
has
stewarded
this
land
successfully
until
July
14th
of
1846..
O
You
know,
but
prior
to
July,
14th
of
1846
I
I
would
say
that
thousands
of
years
of
knowledge,
institutional
knowledge
and
wisdom
about
the
ecosystem
here
in
this
particular
space
I
think
we
do
ourselves
a
disservice
by
not
accessing
that
knowledge.
We
don't
need
to
go
to
France.
We
have
it
right
there
in
front
of
us.
Thank
you.
D
All
right
is
this:
the
comment
on
the
remaining
consent
items.
D
On
this
item,
I
just
quickly
wanted
to
thank
the
mayor
for
his
explanation.
What
he's
traveling
experiences
are
and
I
hope
his
recent
trip
to
Qatar
was
also
a
very
educational
experience
that
he
could
bring
back
to
the
community
to
understand
and
talk
about
as
a
as
a
community
process.
Thank
you.
B
Thank
you
just
want
to
clarify
one
factual
assertion,
an
accurate
assertion
that
was
made
in
public
comment.
The
city
did
not
pay
for
the
trip.
The
trip
was
paid
for
generally
by
teresite
in
the
open
space
Authority
all
right.
Let's
now
entertain
a
motions
to
the
entire
consent
calendar
of.
D
There's
two
items:
I
wanted
to
speak
to
items
2.10
and
11.
2.10
is
about
Information
Technology
infrastructure,
refresh
project
you'll,
be
refreshing
data
collection
and
such
with
your
Emergency
Operations
Center.
This
is
interesting.
You
know
in
all
the
work
that
I've
been
doing,
trying
to
learn
how
to
understand
what
we
can
expect
in
2023
and
24
and
Beyond
with
natural
disaster,
preparedness
and
stuff.
This
is
an
interesting
item
and
I'm,
of
course,
trying
to
learn
that
it's
it's.
D
We
just
simply
have
to
learn
how
to
speak
about
these
sort
of
subjects
openly,
no
matter
what
is
the
case
in
2023
and
Beyond
I,
don't
know,
what's
going
to
happen,
but
good
luck,
how
it
just
can
be
an
open
subject
matter
and
be
a
part
of
a
good
conversation
in
the
future
of
racial
equity
and
Health
and
Human
Services.
Before
law
enforcement,
we
don't
have
to
focus
on
law
enforcement,
so
much
I
think
it
can
be
a
real
good
connection.
D
How
to
talk
about
natural
disaster
preparedness
as
racial
equity
and
Health
and
Human
Services
idea.
An
interesting
combination,
I'm
trying
to
learn
how
to
do
better.
So
thanks
for
this
item
and
with
2.11,
you
want
to
centralize
traffic
signal
priority
things
for
the
buses.
You
know
you
work
on
this
and
you've
done
some
interesting
good
work
in
the
past
on
this
good
luck
to
your
future
work.
D
I,
those
there's
these
little.
You
know
technology
things
that
sit
on
the
top
of
the
street
poles
street
light
polls,
those
house
a
lot
of
technology
in
them
and
I
I
hope
we
can
make
the
steps
to
really
talk
the
how
to
be
open
and
clear
and
not
and
feel
it
can
be
safe
to
talk
about
what
is
the
technology
in
in
those
things
and
how
much
they
deliver.
That's
a
good
conversation
for
a
feature,
I
hope
we
can
prepare
for.
J

O
That's
cool
I
I,
get
it
I,
get
it
I
get
treated
differently,

it
Paul
Soto
from
the
Horseshoe
Miss
Ochoa.
There's
multiple
bullets
that
were
put
into
the
body
of
a
woman,
a
citizen
of
our
community,
and
this
Council
has
got
the
audacity
to
put
that
on
consent
and
have
no
discussion
about
multiple
bullets.
There
are
a
few
women
on
this
Council
I
thought
that
violence
against
women
was
an
issue
but
I
guess
not
when
it's
a
San,
Jose
police
officer,
putting
bullets
into
the
body
of
a
woman.
O
So
I
guess
when
we're
talking
about
women's
issues,
it's
only
for
certain
political
expediencies
that
we
talk
about
the
protection
of
our
women
in
our
community
domestic
violence
for
one
of
them
correct,
but
the
people
that
are
killed
most
by
gun
violence
is
suicide,
not
domestic
violence.
That
is
a
statistical
fact
and
also
the
fact
that
you
do
not
want
to
talk
about
this
in
your
document.
You
have
no
nothing,
absolutely
zero
information
about
what
happened,
how
it
happened.
O
What
was
the
context-
and
why
is
the
city
dishing
out
two
hundred
thousand
dollars
for
it?
Maybe
because
there's
some
culpability
from
the
city
and
the
police
department
in
putting
those
bullets
inside
of
a
woman's
body,
but
like
no
women's
comment
at
all,
there's
all
these
women
on
the
city
council
and
not
one
of
them,
not
one
has
the
has
the
courage
to
challenge
its
own
government
about
putting
bullets
into
multiple
bullets
into
Mr
Troy's
body.
O
So
that
means
that
I
have
to
call
into
question
this
sincerity
and
the
legitimacy
of
this
upcoming
study
session
with
respect
to
gun
violence,
because
it's
the
height
of
hypocrisy
and
a
contradiction
of
the
moral
Authority
that
this
city
should
be
exercising
but
is
failing
to
I
want
to
know
exactly
what
happened
with
this
or
and
I
want
that
inserted
into
the
public
record.
Thank
you.

All
right
now
we're
on

a
brief
update
on

The
FY

negotiations
are
ongoing.
In
addition,
Congress
has
been
working
through
various
high-profile
pieces
of
legislation.
In
the
last
few
months
on
June
25th,
the
president
signed
the
bipartisan
safer
communities
act,
which
is
the
largest

pass
legislation
to

all
legislative
remedies
have
stalled
in

Senate.
The

passed
along
party
lines
but

but
on
July,

President

of
Justice
announced
the

which
aims
to
evaluate
state
and
local
legislation
that
may
impact

including

program
and

The
budget
allocates

In
addition,
the
budget
includes

The
budget
provides

including
1.4
billion
for
assistance
to

and
1.95

N
The

budget
also
includes

for
the
next
two
years.
For

funding.
N
N
The
igr
team,
with
the
support
of
councilmember
Esparza
and
the
mayor's
office,
secured
two
earmarks
in
the
in
the
state
budget

provide
direct

This
includes

analyst
with
intergovernmental
relations.
In
the
last
few
months,
the
RJR
team
has
made
progress
on
two
city-sponsored
bills:
first
SB
649,
which
allows
for
affordable
housing
preference
that
prioritizes
residents
at
risk
of
displacement.
We
partnered
with
Senator
Cortez's
office
and
stakeholders
to
ensure
widespread
support
of
this
bill.
It
is
an
assembly
appropriation,
so
we
are
optimistic.
It
will
be
signed
into
law
second
ab2164,
which
is
coordinated
by
rgr
to
support
small
business
ADA
compliance
activities
in
response
to
a
rules.
Community
directed,
thank
you
for
the
vice
mayor
for
testifying
and
support.
C
This
is
now
on
the
floor
of
the
senate
for
imminent
vote.
Unfortunately,
SB
612
failed
to
move
forward
and
died.
Ab
2011
allows
for
some
affordable
housing
projects
as
a
use
by
Wright.
In
some
commercial
areas,
we
issued
a
supportive
amend
letter
and
secured
amendments
to
protect
our
small
business
and
commercial
space.
C
C
This
legislation
acts
in
concert
with
200
million
dollars
in
Reproductive
Rights
investments
in
the
state
budget.
We
have
also
closely
monitored
several
bills:
around
gun,
violence
reduction
that
seek
to
restrict
firearm
advertising
to
minors,
restrict
access
to
ghost
guns,
create
Avenues
to
sue
gun
manufacturers
and
create
a
private
right
of
action.
A
particular
note
is
sp
505,
sponsored
by
Senator
Skinner,
requiring
gun
owners
to
obtain
liability
insurance.
C
N
With
over
2100
bills
introduced
this
session,
the
rgr
team
has
been
engaged
in
a
wide
variety
of
legislation,
including
those
listed
on
this
slide.
A
particular
note
ab1944
would
have
removed
the
requirement
for
local
legislative
body
members
to
publicly
disclose
their
teleconferencing
location
or
make
those
locations
publicly
accessible.
Well,
we
worked
with
assembly
member
Lee
on
this
legislation.
His
office
decided
not
to
pursue
this
legislation
as
committee
amendments
detracted
from
original
Bill
intent.
N
Ab1938
is
a
senate.
Is
a
cleanup
Bill
to
ensure
the
accurate
implementation
of
ab-34
from
last
session
for
countrends
with
regard
to
speed
limits
and
safety
corridors,
and
the
SB
1100
is
a
bill
that
was
supported
by
City
Council
in
May.
This
bill
would
clarify
language
and
look
to
ensure
the
orderly
conduct
of
meetings
by
providing
an
oral
or
written
warning
before
someone
is
removed
from
a
preceding
and
clarifies
what
disruption
is.
N
We
now
proceed
to
the
second
item
today,
an
update
on
qualified
ballot
measures
for
the
November
8th
election.
Our
state
lobbying
pit
partner,
Steve
Cruz
from
crew
strategies
will
also
be
here
to
answer
questions
on
this
item.
In
addition
to
Rudy
Bermudez
from
the
California
City's
gaming
Authority.
N
The
rgr
team
is
recommending
the
city
take
a
position
on
five
of
the
seven
ballot
measures
due
to
their
relevance
to
City
positions
and
impact
on
city
of
San
Jose
residents.
We
are
not
recommending
a
position
on
two
additional
ballot
measures
for
the
November
election.
These
include
proposition
29,
which
seeks
to
mandate
dialysis
clinic
requirements.
Igr
is
not
recommending
a
position
on
this
measure,
as
did
not
contained
within
the
city's
legislative
program
and
does
not
directly
relate
to
City
programs
or
services
as
well.
N
On
Prop
30
would
create
a
wealth
tax
for
Ev
infrastructure
and
wild
Wildfire
prevention.
Igr
is
not
recommending
a
position
recommending
a
position
as
we
allowed
attempts
to
increase
EV
infrastructure
and
Wildfire
prevention
by
the
administration
of
the
funding
is
problematic,
with
an
Avenue

only
available
to
invest
their
own
utilities
and
public
owned
Utilities
in
an
unclear

Grant
process

Governor
Gavin
Newsom
has
also
recently
come
out
in
opposition
to
this
measure,
stating
this
Avenue
for
corporations
to
have
California
taxpayers
pay
for
mandated
improvements.
C
State
lawmakers
passed
SCA
10
to
give
voters
the
opportunity
to
add
abortion
rights
to
the
state
constitution.
If
approved,
this
measure
would
bar
the
state
from
interfering
with
abortion
and
contraceptive
access
support
for
this
belt
measure
is
contained
in
the
council
approved
legislative
program.
We
also
want
to
recognize
council
members,
Carrasco
Davis,
Esparza,
Arenas
and
Foley
for
their
leadership
in
the
blue
memo
before
you
today.
N
N
The
state
government
would
be
required
to
distribute
this
new
Revenue
as
follows:
15
to
the
California
Department
of
Health,
for
researching,
developing
and
implementing
programs
for
problem
gambling
prevention
and
mental
health
and
providing
grants
to
local
governments
to
address
problem
gambling
and
mental
health,
fifteen
percent
to
the
Bureau
of
gambling,
control
for
enforcing
and
implementing
Sports,
wagering
and
other
forms
of
gaming
within
the
state
and
70
to
the
general
fund.
N
This
measure
would
also
expand
the
private
attorney
general's
act
to
allow
tribal
Casino
operators
to
pursue
lawsuits
against
legal
against
local,
legally
operating
card
rooms
like
Casino,
Matrix
and
Bay
101,
potentially
bankrupting
local
card
rooms.
Given
the
alignment
with
this
with
the
ability
for
the
city
to
operate
in
tax
card
rooms,
staff
recommends
the
city
adopt
an
imposed
position
on
this
measure.
N
Proposition
proposition
27
would
allow
sports
betting
Statewide
through
online
Sports
books
and
mobile
apps.
Sportsbook
revenues
would
be
taxed
at
10
percent.
The
proposed
law
would
establish
the
California
online
sports
betting
trust
fund,
given
the
subnational
deductions
allowed
for
fees
and
costs
from
those
that
are
hosting
the
online
platforms,
such
as
DraftKings
and
FanDuel.
Some
estimate
minimal
funds
being
used
to
address
homelessness.
If
any
is
also
difficult
to
understand
how
these
funds
would
be
funneled
to
local
jurisdictions.
N
The
staff
recommendation
is
to
oppose
this
ballot
measure
in
order
to
be
consistent
with
the
recommended
position
on
proposition
26.
further
in
opposition
to
this
position
on
both
measures
protects
the
tens
of
millions
of
dollars
in
tax
revenue
that
the
city
of
San
Jose
receives
from
a
local
card
room
for
service
provision
to
residents.
C
This
balance
measure
would
allocate
one
percent
of
the
annual
required
State
funding
for
schools
to
K-12,
Arts
and
Music
programming.
This
amounts
to
800
million
to
100
billion
800
million
to
1
billion
dollars
each
year
with
distribution
by
enrollment
and

disadvantaged
students.
C
C
Next,
we
have
prop

SB
793,
passed
in
2020
Banning,
the
sale
of
most
flavored
tobacco
products
in

also
enacted
a
similar
ban
in
San
Jose,
which
went
into
effect
last
month.
A
yes
vote
on
this
ballot
measure
upholds
SB,

Banning,
the
sale
of

tobacco
products.
C
A
no
vote
repeals
this
legislation,
keeping
a

of
flavored
tobacco
legal
in
California
opposition
to
this
referendum
or
a
yes
vote
on
the
ballot
measure

with
the
city's
legislative
program.
Supporters
include
R.J
Reynolds
in
opposition
includes
Governor
Newsom
and
the
California
Teachers
Association.
C
This
concludes
our
presentation.
The
recommendation,
the
recommended
actions
before
you
are
a
recommended
support
position
on
Prop,
1,
SCA
10
on
reproductive
freedom
and

provide
additional

I

much.
I
I
just
want
to
say
a
word
about

I'm,
not
sure
if
anybody
was

maybe
Zayn

everyone's
really
hit

This
has
not
been

really
jumped
in.

we've
ever
been
internally.
We've
always
had
a
small
but
Fierce
staff,
we're
less
small
but
still
Fierce
and
I'm.
Very
grateful
for
that.
I
also
want
to
give
a
huge
thank
you
to
Steve,
Cruz
and
Stephanie
on
your
team.
B
They
do
such
a
great
job
for
us
in
Sacramento,
as
well
as
Leslie,
Palmer
and
Laurie
out
in
Washington
DC
for
hauling
a
night.
We're
very
grateful
to
have
really
top-notch
advocates
for
us
in
both
Sacramento
and
Washington,
which
has
been
tremendous,
we'll
go
to
public
comment
in
a
moment,
but
just
wanted
to
also
quickly
thank
a
few
of
the
members
of
our
local
delegation.
It's
already
been
said.
Certainly
Senator
Cortez
has
been
doing
very
heavy
lifting
for
us
on
the
ercp
program,
which
is
so
essential
for
Barton
Caltrain
funding.
B
Some
remember
Carter
on
those
specific
carve
outs
that
we
got
for
Traffic
Safety,
Vision
zero,
as
well
as
the
Aria
alive
program,
and
thank
you
also,
council,
member
sparza,
for
your
efforts
on
on
those
important
commitments,
assembly,
member
Lee
on
the
Ada
Bill
and
then
two
folks
who
are
also
in
the
Bay
area,
but
not
in
the
immediate
area.
Senator
Nancy
Skinner
on
the
East,
Bay
and
and
assembly
member
Phil
Ting.
Both
the
budget
chairs
were
absolutely
critical
on
the
homeless
funding.
We
got
through
hap
it
just.
B
You
know
this
funding
year
after
year,
it's
not
in
the
January
budget,
it's
not
in
the
May
revise,
and
we
year
after
year
we
have
to
go
to
the
legislature
and
it's
it's
Nancy
skinnerfield
team
that
always
end
up
taking
the
heavy
load
and
pushing
hard
and
we're
grateful
for
that
as
well
as
Tony
Atkins
for
all
her
advocacy
in
her
leadership.
I
also
want
to
note
that
both
Nancy
and
Phil
are
great
leaders
on
the
gun
initiatives
as
well.
B
Some
I
remember
King
several
years
ago
introducing
a
an
insurance
bill
that
wasn't
able
to
get
out
of
committee
I
know.
Senator
Skinner
now
has
proposed
a
new
version.
We
appreciate
the
state
looking
at
this
very
seriously.
That
was
the
point
of
us
introducing
this.
We
knew
it
wasn't
going
to
be
impactful
if
it
was
just
the
city
of
San
Jose
and
we're
hoping
the
other
jurisdictions
will
move
with
us
and
it's
great
to
see.
Senator
Skinner
move
ahead,
as
leaders
are
in
other
cities
as
well.
B
So
with
that,
let's
go
to
public
comment
and
then
we'll
come
back
because
I
know
everyone's
got
lots
of
questions.
A
D
Hi
here
thanks
a
lot
for
this
item.
It
was
positive,
helpful,
informative,
yeah,
you're,
working
on
good
stuff
you're
addressing
abortion
issues,
gun
issues.
California
has
an
interesting
role
in
this
upcoming
decade
about
the
future
of
abortion
issues
and
how
they
can
help
protect
abortion
rights
for
women
and
that's
not
just
in
this
state,
but
throughout
the
country.
D
You
know
that's
going
to
include
you
know,
working
on
assembly
bills
like
you
know
that
that
protects
civil
protections
of
people
who
come
from
other
states
who
may
be
persecuted
in
other
states
and
data
collection.
That's
collected
in
California
can't
necessarily
travel
to
other
states
in
the
future
to
be
used
for
medical
record
purposes
and
possibly
commercial
purposes
around
abortion
issues
which
I
think
brings
up
an
incredibly
interesting
concept.
That
I
think
we're
all
hurting
about
at
this
time.
D
In
that
in
the
past
few
years,
we
have
really
really
allowed
in
the
state
of
California
data
collection.
To
be,
you
know,
totally
side
swiped
by
the
needs
of
commercial
commercialization,
and
the
commercialization
of
data
in
this
state
has
totally
bypassed
incredibly
decent
organized.
You
know
civil
protection,
ideas
of
data
collection
for
everyday
Community
persons,
so
they
can
understand
and
participate
more
in
the
process.
D
This
commercial
data,
collection,
industry
and
private
in
industry
has
totally
swiped
out
way,
and
so
you
know
with
you
know
the
billboard
issues
the
aopr
issues
and
these
abortion
rights
issues
that
are
going
to
be
collecting
data.
We
have
to
re-really
evaluate
what,
how
we
collect
data
and
what
is
civil
protection.
A
P
Hi,
my
name
is
Diana
Zamora
Marroquin
I'm,
the
director
of
public
affairs
for
Planned
Parenthood,
marmonte,
I'd,
like
to
start
by
thanking
council
members,
Esparza
Arenas,
Carrasco,
Foley
and
Davis
for
putting
forth
a
memo
that
specifically
focuses
on
focuses
on
proposition
one
with
the
Supreme
Court,
decimating
the
right
to
abortion
for
Millions
across
the
country.
Numerous
States
jumped
at
the
chance
to
ban
safe
reproductive
Health
Care,
creating
insurmountable
challenges
to
many
communities.
P
Abortion
is
a
personal
decision,
and
people
should
be
able
to
make
those
medical
decisions
with
their
health
care
providers.
We
need
to
protect
people's
fundamental
right
to
control
their
own
body
and
ensure
that
everyone
has
options
when
it
comes
to
making
the
decisions
about
their
own
reproductive
health
care
and
proposition.
One
will
continue
to
allow
individuals
and
families
to
have
that
freedom.
P
San
Jose
has
a
long
history
of
Defending
supporting
and
expanding
access
to
reproductive
Health
Care,
not
one
of
standing
on
the
sidelines
and
make
no
mistake
that
the
role
that
cities
and
local
elected
officials
play
is
critical.
This
is
a
moment
in
history
where
neutrality
is
not
an
option,
as
Archbishop
Bishop
tutu
said.
If
you
are
neutral
in
situations
of
Injustice,
you
have
chosen
the
side
of
the
oppressor.
The
Supreme
Court's
actions
are
a
clear
situation
of
Injustice
and
prop
1
will
ensure
the
right
to
seek
an
abortion
is
protected
in
our
constitution.
P
A
P
Hello,
San,
Jose,
City,
Council
I
am
a
community
organizer
with
Planned
Parenthood,
marmonte
and
I
am
also
a
former
patient
here.
I've
spent
practically
all
of
my
life
in
San
Jose
and
received
most
of
my
reproductive
Health
Care
here
at
times,
I
may
have
felt,
nervous
or
embarrassed
or
unfortunately,
due
to
stigma
even
shameful
about
the
possibility
of
those
what-if
situations,
but,
with
all
of
that
said,
I
always
knew
that
I
had
the
option,
the
agency
and
the
right
to
make
decisions
about
my
life,
my
body,
and
whether
or
not
to
get
an
abortion.
P
Unfortunately,
more
and
more
people
every
day
across
the
country
have
had
these
rights
snatched
from
beneath
them
and
for
many
never
really
had
the
option
in
the
first
place
proposition
one
if
passed
will
explicitly
protect
our
right
to
an
abortion
under
the
state
constitution.
Currently,
this
right
is
only
protected
through
the
right
to
privacy,
which
the
Supreme
Court
ruling
effectively
undermined.
P
P
A
P
Hello
city
council,
thank
you
for
this
opportunity.
I
have
three
points
quickly.
I
would
like
to
make
in
support
of
protecting
women's
rights
to
abortion
I'm.
Also
an
advocate
of
Planned
Parenthood.
So
I'll
tell
you.
This
I
was
working
at
Nordstrom
at
Valley
Fair
the
day
I
found
out
I
was
pregnant.
I
was
an
18
year
old
student
at
De,
Anza
and
I
never
thought
or
had
planned
on
having
a
baby
in
my
teens
there's
also
no
way
I
could
tell
my
immigrant
single
father
about
this.
P
Who
was
Raising
Me,
so
Planned
Parenthood
gave
me
a
very
safe
place
to
learn
different
options
for
my
pregnancy,
which
included
adoption,
but
with
the
freedom
to
choose
what
to
do
with
my
own
body,
I
was
able
to
Chase
my
own
goals
with
a
free
mind
here
now
I'm
a
college
graduate
I
have
had
a
30-year
career
in
technology
here
in
Silicon,
Valley
I'm,
a
San
Jose,
homeowner
and
taxpayer.
P
So
I'm
proud
to
be
here,
I
work
hard
to
give
back
to
my
causes
and
what
a
blessing
I
could
make
all
of
these
choices
about
my
own
future
and
own
it
with
no
guilt
or
the
political
pressure.
You
know
from
faceless
people
making
these
choices.
For
me
second
point:
we
often
hear
you
know
what,
if
a
woman
was
pregnant
from
rape
or
incest,
I
said
that
myself
for
many
years,
but
recently
it
dawned
on
me
that
it's
not
about
that
either.
You
know
with
respect
to
women.
P
Why
do
we
first
have
to
be
raped
for
the
right
to
choose
what
to
do
with
our
bodies?
I
hope
that
is
considered
and
shared
as
well.
So,
lastly,
you
know
when
I
raise
my
three
daughters
who
are
now
you
know
21,
19
and
15.
They
came
up
through
the
school
system,
their
you
know,
San,
Jose,
Catholic,
school
kids
from
kindergarten
through
college
I,
never
thought
the
day
would
come
that
I
had
to
fight
for
their
right
to
safely
choose
what
to
do
with
their
body.
P
O
Yes,
Paul
Soto
from
the
Horseshoe.
Let
me
get
something
straight
here:
if
there's
a
man
that's
driving
in
a
car,
he
hits
a
car.
The
woman's
in
the
car
she's
pregnant.
The
district
attorney
will
follow.
Charges
of
manslaughter
two
counts,
one
for
the
mother
and
one
for
the
child
in
the
womb.
Now,
as
a
society,
we
say
that
that
is
just
that
is
good.
Why?
Because
it
is
the
killing.
It
is
the
homicide.
O
Insanity
is
basically
what
this
country
is
predicated
upon,
so
I
wouldn't
assume
any
different
with
respect
to
the
context
of
this
conversation,
because
we
allowed
slavery
for
a
whole
lot
of
years,
and
then
we
just
word
used
words
in
order
to
rationalize
it,
away
the
immoral
and
unethical
practice
of
the
enslavement
of
human
beings
and
we're
doing
it
again
by
calling
it
reproductive
Freedom,
we
did
that
with
the
Japanese
internment
camps,
you
know
what
we
called
them:
relocation,
we
didn't
call
them
prisons,
we
called
it
internment
and
that's
what
we're
doing
we?
O
Not
only
do
we
not
only
dehumanize
ourselves,
we
dehumanize
the
The
Unborn
Child,
the
murdering
of
children,
needs
to
be
called
just
what
that
is.
It
is
the
killing
and
murdering
of
children.
Secondly,
the
fathers.
The
woman
exercises
a
lot
of
power.
The
woman
exercises
the
power
and
determines
whether
or
not
I
become
a
father.
O
That
is
an
enormous
amount
of
power
for
a
woman
to
walk
into
that
room
and
say
you
know
what
I
don't
care
that
you
want
to
become
a
father
I'm
going
to
go
inside
this
room,
spread
my
legs
and
have
your
child
murdered.
That's
what
I'm
going
to
do,
and
that
is
what
we
are
calling
reproductive
freedom
I.
Think
we
dehumanize
ourselves
far
more
than
we're
dehumanizing.
That
baby.
B
Thank
you,
I,
neglected
to
thank
someone
else
was
really
important
in
all.
This
is
Scott
green.
B
Okay,
I
think
I'm.
Okay,
now
on
Zoom.
Thank
you,
I
neglect
to
think
someone
else
has
been
very
important
in
all
this
effort,
which
is
the
person
is
Scott
green
and
our
team
I
really
want
to
thank
Scott
for
his
hard
work.
Through
The
Years
on
all
things.
Igr
I
also
want
to
thank
president
Tony
Atkins
for
her
leadership
on
a
proposition
one.
We
had
a
conversation
last
week
and
I
told
her.
I
was
happy
to
endorse
the
measure
for
Reproductive
freedom,
all
right.
G
Duck
okay,
so
first
I'd
like
to
also
I'll
start
with
comments
on
3.3
I'd
like
to
thank
the
igr
team.
You
know
on
the
whole
package.
You've
been
amazing,
Steve
Cruz,
our
DOT
staff
in
particular,
I
really
want
to
voice
my
appreciation.
I
know,
you've
gotten
all
emails
from
me,
but
on
the
10
million
dollars
for
Center
Road.
This
is
a
huge
project
for
the
east
side.
It's
a
huge
project
for
the
city.
G
It's
a
major
artery
in
one
of
the
city's
17
Vision
zero
corridors
and
from
Rock
Springs
to
Seven
Trees.
This
project
will
bring
life-saving
and
Equitable
infrastructure
to
one
of
the
busiest
sections
of
the
city,
so
I
just
wanted
to
say
thank
you.
It
means
a
lot
means
a
lot
to
me.
I
know
it
means
a
lot
to
the
residents
of
district
seven
in
the
east
side
who
have
been
begging
for
for
the
help
that
is
coming.
So
thank
you.
G
I'll
start
with
that
with
the
good
news
and
then
I
had
a
question
on
ab2336
I
know.
You
know,
there's
been
a
lot
of
work
behind
it.
This
the
mayor
has
gone
out
and
done
everything
he.
He
can
on
this
different
cities
have
spoken
up
a
bag
sent
a
letter
of
support.
Can
you
can
you
talk
a
little
bit
about
that
and
why
that
died
in
committee.
N
G
For
folks,
following
along,
this
is
a
bill
that
would
have
created
a
five-year
pilot
allowing
San,
Jose
and
four
other
cities
to
use
speed
cameras
to
enforce
speed
limits
on
their
highest
injury
streets
in
school
zones
and
streets
with
a
history
of
speed,
contact
contest
and
other
vehicle
exhibition
of
speed.
For
folks,
following.
M
Along
yes,
council
member,
it
was
held
on
unsuspense
as
they
indicated
it's
a
sort
of
a
bit
of
a
mysterious
process
where
the
bills
all
go
to
kind
of
held
in
advance,
and
then
the
chair
and
Leadership
make
a
decision.
M
You
know
we
were
able
to
advance
that
bill
further
this
year,
my
I'm
I'm
being
optimistic
in
that
and
I'm
hopeful
that
we
can
come
back.
There
are
a
number
of
issues,
sort
of
on
sort
of
both
sides.
One
being
sort
of
you
know
the
law,
enforcement
side
and
impact
on
jobs
and
I
think
we're
able
to
work
through
some
of
those.
Also
issues
surrounding
you
know
how
it
it
can
be
applied
like
fairly,
so
that
it
doesn't
sort
of
further
disadvantage.
M
Folks,
who
may
not
be
in
the
position
to
pay
those
fines-
and
we
went
through
a
lot
of
work
to
address
those
concerns
on
both
sides,
and
we
felt
comfortable
that
we
were
there.
You
know,
obviously
leadership
didn't
think
so,
but
you
know
I'm
optimistic
that
we
can
come
back.
It's
been
a
priority
for
the
transportation
leaders,
particularly
in
the
Sim,
the
the
assembly
with
Sheriff,
Friedman
and
so
I'm
hopeful.
We
come
back
and
just
get
another
bite
at
it
and
it's
just
moving
the
ball
forward
each
year.
M
But
that's
what
I
think
the
feedback
that
we've
had
thus
far
on
why
it
was
held.
G
This
is
incredibly
frustrating
given
you
know
when
I
was
at
the
a
bag
meeting
cities
all
over
the
Bay
Area
were
saying
we
want
this.
We
want
this.
We
want
this
and,
and-
and
you
mentioned
that
the
bill
met
the
concerns
of
state
law
enforcement
that
were
blocking
in
effect
this
bill
moving
forward
in
the
past
the
equity
issues
around
the
fines
mayor.
Do
you
have
any
thoughts
not
to
call
you
out,
but
on
your
on
your
snack
but
I
I?
B
I
was
a
little
surprised
because
this
time
we
actually
had
the
leadership
of
the
chair
of
the
transportation
committee,
Laura
Freeman,
leading
the
charge
which
was
great
and
we
still
didn't
get
a
committee
and
I
I,
think
or
I'm
sorry
to
make
it
through
suspense
As,
I
understood
it.
Opposition
by
police
unions
was
definitely
not
helpful
and
that
put
a
very
hard
break
on
on
it
and
I
mean
at
the
state
level,
but
also
locally,
and
so
we
we
just
need
everybody
to
be
able
to
move
together.
B
I
think
I'm,
not
sure
I,
fully
understand
the
opposition
argument
from
the
the
police
Union
standpoint,
but
I
think
we
just
need
to
clearly
persuade
everyone.
This
is
not
about
replacing
cops.
Lord
knows
we
don't
have
enough
cops
we're
going
to
keep
trying
to
do
more
to
hire
more,
but
this
is
about
doing
all
the
things
we
know
we
couldn't
possibly
hire
enough
cops
to
do.
B
Lee
did
you
want
I
think
they
took
a
post
position?
I
could
be
wrong
on
that.
A
Yeah,
so
our
own
Police
Officers
Association,
did
not
take
an
official
position
on
it
at
the
end
of
the
day,
and
that
was
a
referral
for
us
to
check
back
in
on
and
if
they
had
taken
a
post
position
to
come
back
to
council.
So
we
did
not
have
to
do
that
at
that
point
in
time
when
I
had
that
conversation
with
the
police
officers
Association
president
I
believe
poor
act
at
a
state
level
was
still
in
a
post
position
at
that
point
in
time.
A
But
again
our
Union
did
not
take
an
official
position.
Thank.
A
B
A
G
Thank
you
I
appreciate
that
clarification
I
know
that
there
were
some
discussions
with
our
local
POA
because
they
thought
felt
they
were
caught
between
poorak
and
us,
but
I
do
remember
that
they
did
not.
So
that's
why
I
would
have
been
surprised,
but
it's
still,
you
know
we're
adding
officers
in
here
in
San,
Jose,
so
I,
again,
I'm,
I'm,
baffled
frustrated
and
actually
pretty
angry
about
this
bill
continuing
to
die
to
die
year
after
year
after
year.
Steve.
What
else
can
we
do?
What
else
would
be
helpful?
M
Yeah,
you
know,
I
I
mean
I,
think
all
those
things
help
I
know
Lee
mentioned.
You
know
the
work
that
we
can
do
locally.
You
know
it's.
It
was
a
leadership
decision.
You
know
I,
think
another
conversation
could
be
with
the
speaker's
office
over
the
fall
to
see
if
there's
anything
that
that
can
be
done,
whether
it's
more
work
around
the
language.
You
know
with
respect
to
the
threat
to
law
enforcement.
M
You
know,
I
know
we
spent
some
time
there,
but
you
know.
Is
there
some?
Is
there
a
way
to
go
further
without
taking
away
from
like
the
rest
of
the
bill?
M
You
know
now
that
we
know
you
know
you
kind
of
have
a
sense
that
when
you
know
that
there's
that
there's
that
they
have
influence,
but
you
know
now
that
we've
seen
it
held
you
know,
maybe
we
got
a
little
move
a
little
further
on
our
side,
so
that
I
think
that's
just
all.
You
know
things
that
we
need
to
look
at.
G
Okay,
thank
you
I'll
I'll!
Let
it
go
for
now.
I
and
I
also
wanted
to
thank
SB
649
tenant
preferences
to
prevent
displacement,
to
create
the
Statewide
policy
supporting
affordable
housing
preferences
that
prioritize
local
residents
at
risk
of
displacement.
This
is
a
big
deal
also
for
the
city
and
some
of
our
work,
so
I
I
just
wanted
to
thank
you
that
I
had
a
question
on
AB
2011.
G
So
so
we
we
are
men
a
letter
of
support,
if
amended,
that
still
holds
correct
to.
We
put
a
lot
of
work
in
the
city
to
protect
our
industrial
lands
and
that's
a
big
concern
of
for
my
district
as
well
as
other
areas
of
the
city.
Can
you
talk?
Does
that
still?
Can
you
give
us
an
update
on
that?
Please.
N
Sure
we
did
submit
a
letter
of
support
of
amend.
We
have
been
continuing
to
work
through
amendments
with
the
assembly,
housing
committee
and
we've
gotten
substantial
amendments,
so
you'll
note
to
yourself
to
R
Us
that
he
was
we've
been
kind
of
a
pest
in
trying
to
get
more
and
more
amendments
out
of
him
and
we've
gotten
more
than
any
other
city.
N
G
Awesome,
thank
you.
I'll
move
very
quickly
to
3.4,
because
we're
combining
them
correct
mayor.
B
G
I'll
move
quick
to
3.4,
so
I
also
wanted
to
thank
staff
for
the
really
thoughtful
analysis
and
recommendations
on
the
ballot
measures
and
I'd
like
to
thank
my
colleagues,
council,
member
Scott,
Davis,
Arenas
and
Foley
for
our
work
together
to
highlight
the
importance
of
our
support
for
proposition
one
to
enshrine
the
right
to
a
safe
and
legal
abortion,
as
well
as
the
right
to
contraceptives
in
our
state
constitution
and
I.
G
Think
that
we
all
understand
that
this
is
a
very
dark
time,
a
very
frightening
time
for
women
and
for
all
people
who
can
bear
children
in
our
country.
The
U.S
Supreme
Court
has
taken
away
an
established
individual
constitutional
right
for
the
first
time
in
living
memory,
and
the
loss
of
that
right
is
already
impacting
women
all
over
our
country.
G
Losing
the
right
to
safe
and
legal
abortion
will
lead
to
death
foreign.
We
know
that,
and
we
know
that
from
looking
from
at
our
history
before
Roe
versus
Wade,
and
we
know
that
those
deaths
are
disproportionate,
going
to
be
young
people,
women
of
color
immigrants
and
those
from
low-income
communities.
G
G
Fortunately,
that's
not
the
case
here.
California
has
been
a
leader
in
supporting
abortion
rights
in
the
past
and
we
must
continue
to
be
now
as
we
must
continue
to
be
now
as
we
prepare
for
the
above
ground
railroad,
including
in
our
County,
including
a
non-profit
such
as
planned
parenthood,
that
we
have
been
warned
that
this
has
already
started,
as
women
can
no
longer
receive
the
care
they
need
in
their
home
States.
They
come
and
seek
it
here.
It's
important
for
us
to
speak
out,
because
this
isn't
just
a
state
or
national
issue.
G
Cities
can
and
have
played
an
important
role
in
protecting
reproductive
Freedom
as
well.
In
the
early
90s
San
Jose
was
a
national
leader
in
protecting
Reproductive
Rights
through
creating
protest
buffers
for
patients
seeking
care,
as
well
as
for
medical
professionals
whose
homes
were
being
picketed
by
anti-abortion
protesters.
G
The
council
passed
these
measures,
which
became
models
for
other
jurisdictions
around
the
state
and
around
the
country.
We
need
to
continue
that
Legacy
of
leadership
and
take
a
stand
for
Reproductive,
Liberty
and
freedom
freedom
now
more
than
ever,
and
with
that
I'd
like
to
make
a
motion
to
approve
3.3
to
accept
the
summer.
Intergovernmental
relations
report
reaffirm
All
City
positions
summarized
in
the
report,
as
well
as
a
3.4
to
adopt
the
resolution
taking
the
positions
on
the
five
State
ballot
measure.
Second,.
R
I
yeah
I
just
want
to
take
a
minute
to
thank
the
igr
team
for
all
the
work
that
you
do.
I've
worked
closely
with
you
as
a
as
the
rep
to
to
League
of
cities.
Getting
information
before
I
attend
the
meetings,
you're
very
helpful
in
how
in
preparing
for
those
and
understanding
the
city's
positions,
and
also
when
I
bring
back
things
from
from
League
of
cities
asking
for
positions
from
the
city.
It's
been
great
to
work
with
your
team,
so
I
want
to.
Thank
you.
R
One,
quick
question
about
the
the
speed
camera
issue.
In
addition
to
the
concerns
from
police
is,
are
there
still
concerns
there
about
privacy?
Is
that
part
of
the?
Is
that
a
big
issue
still
that
we're
trying
to
overcome.
N
Thank
you
for
your
question.
Yes,
there
was
considerable
concerns
from
ACLU,
I
believe
Steve,
and
there
were,
and
we
continue
to
try
and
address
those
concerns
up
until
it
went
into
suspense
well,
I,
don't
know.
M
Yeah
no
I
think
that's
accurate.
The
bill
was
a
was
a
multi-referral,
went
to
a
number
of
committees
and
and
actually
went
to
their
privacy
committee
and
again
I
think
we
took
some
amendments
to
address
those
concerns
from
from
Equity
groups
and
and
that
had
a
level
of
privacy
sort
of
concerns.
M
I
thought
we
went
far
enough,
but
I
think
again,
that's
a
good
point.
Nelson
I
think
you'd
probably
look
at
the
Privacy
side
to
see
if
there's
anything
more
to
do
maybe
reach
out
to
ACLU
to
see.
If
we
fully
in
fact
addressed
like
their
concerns.
R
And
be
prepared
for
next
year
because
it'll
come
back
again,
I'm
sure
yeah
yeah.
Thank
you
and
and
I
also
look
forward
to
your
what's
coming
in
report
from
you
about
the
game,
changer
climate
Bill,
and
what
we're
going
to
benefit
from
I
think
there's
a
lot
of
things.
R
We
will
be
prepared
to
do
as
a
city
as
we
move
forward
in
our
climate,
smart
plans
that
will
be
helped
by
this
new
Federal
legislation,
which
I
think
is
very
exciting,
so
I
hope
to
get
a
report
soon
about
what
we'll
be
able
to
to
tap
into
in
that
bill.
And
I
just
want
to
appreciate
my
the
my
colleagues,
women
on
the
council,
who
have
been
leading
on
on
Choice.
R
It's
important
issue
and
not
just
not
just
appreciate
that
we
live
in
California,
but
that
we
live
in
San
Jose,
because
there
are
parts
of
the
state
even
where
access
isn't
guaranteed
and
is
very
difficult
for
people.
So
it's
not
even
just
a
a
federal
issue
but
important
for
local
jurisdictions
to
take
this
leadership
so
proud
to
be
part
of
that.
F
Thank
you
thank
you
for
the
presentation
and
for
all
you're
doing
to
advocate
for
our
positions
in
the
state
and
at
the
federal
government
and
further
I,
truly
appreciate
your
positions
and
Analysis
on
where
we
should
be
and
recommendations
on
the
five
ballot
measures.
I
also
want
to
thank
council
member
Esparza
for
rallying
the
five
women.
F
It's
appropriate
that
the
five
women
signed
that
memo
in
support
of
proposition
one
reproductive
freedom
and
I
also
want
to
thank
the
two
women
from
the
public
who
called
in
and
one
in
particular,
who
shared
her
very
personal
story
about
choice
and
how
Choice
helped
her
live.
The
life
that
she
envisioned
today
and
and
not
bringing
an
unwanted
child
into
the
world.
That
is
what
reproductive
freedom
is
all
about.
F
As
the
mother
of
a
daughter
who
is
25
I'm
very
concerned
about
the
Supreme,
Court
Court,
overturning
Roe,
v
Wade,
and
what
that
will
do
to
her
rights,
her
freedom
and
all
of
the
women
who
have
a
used
abortions
as
a
way
to
address
a
situation
that
they
found
themselves
in
I'm
sure
that
women
who
seek
abortions,
do
not
do
so
lightly
and
do
not
do
so
without
thinking
of
the
repercussions
emotionally
and
mentally
and
physically
to
themselves
and
to
the
child.
So
I
really
appreciate
that
we
are
taking
this
position.
F
So
thank
you,
councilmember
Esparza,
for
bringing
that
forward
to
us
and
emphasizing
it
and
along
those
lines
or
along
the
lines
of
protecting
our
freedom
and
our
rights
is
taking
away
the
right
to
addict
our
children,
to
flavor
tobacco
and
so
in
proposition
31,
opposing
that
that
makes
perfect
sense,
because
that's
what
we
this
council
did
earlier
this
year
and
was
implemented
July
1st
I.
Think
in
this
city,
we
LED
in
this
city
removing
all
flavored
tobacco
and
we
need
to
lead
at
the
state
as
well.
F
I
do
have
a
question,
though,
about
this,
because
it
was
confusing
when
you
said
if
we
we're
taking
a
position
to
oppose
the
referendum,
but
is
it
one
of
those
referendums
that,
when
it's
written
it's
going
to
be
so
confusing,
we
won't
know
if
we're
voting
the
way
we're
supposed
to.
In
other
words,
is
it
going
to
be
so
clear
that
if
I
vote
no
I'm
voting
against
flavored
tobacco
or
if
I'm
voting,
is
it
the
other
way
around?
So
can
you
clear
clarify
because
I
was
confused,
as
you
were
explaining
it
to
me.
N
Yes,
thank
you
for
your
question.
Not
surprisingly,
there
was,
it
was
written
deceptively
to
make
a
reference
to.
N
That's
why
we
change
the
language
from
opposed
to
opposed
to
the
referendum,
so
it
was
clear
in
our
position
so
that
there
wasn't
any
room
for
ambiguity
there.
So
when.
F
N
F
B
Right,
thank
you.
Councilmember
asking
my
colleagues
on
Zoom
I,
don't
see
any
their
hands
raised
if
they
have
any
questions,
so
I'll
just
jump
in
with
a
couple
questions
while
folks
are
thinking
about
it
as
Steve.
Thank
you
again
for
being
here.
Of
course,
you
know
I'd
be
asking
you
questions,
so
thank
you.
You
know
follow
up
on
council
member
sparse's,
good
questions
about
the
speed
cameras.
M
Yeah,
you
know
I
I
for
most
proposals
that
you
want
to
introduce
in
January.
You
start
to
do
the
work
over
the
fall.
You
know
for
a
new
proposal.
This
one
we've
obviously
had
the
benefit
of
you
know
having
these
discussions
throughout
this
year,
but
yeah
I
would
recommend.
We
try
to
do
it
over
the
fall
and.
B
B
That's
going
to
be
super
helpful
and
again
thanks
to
Senator
cortezi
and
thanks
to
you,
Steve
and
to
our
VTA
team,
for
the
heavy
lift
on
trcp
funding
will
be
essential
for
Bart.
B
Is
this
the
time
I
guess?
Are
we
allowed
to
Lobby
calsta
before
they
issue
these
guidelines,
or
is
this.
M
They're
doing
Outreach
now
to
stakeholders
to
get
input
yeah
on
the
guidelines
and
I'll
have
to
double
check,
but
I
think
with
guidelines.
You
know
there
is
an
opportunity,
after
they
release
them,
to
provide
comments
on
okay
guidelines,
we'll
have
to
double
check,
but
I'm
almost
certain.
If
that's
the
case.
Okay.
B
Well,
we'll
do
some
reaching
out
then
there
as
well
appreciate
all
their
work
and
getting
us
getting
that
money
out
the
door
I
wanted
to
just
check
in
on
our
our
igr
team.
Internally,
we've
got
about
a
little
more
than
19
billion
dollars
in
new
spending
from
the
state
on
climate
projects.
B
B
Is
there
one
person
on
our
team
who's,
sort
of
really
tracking
that
whole
big
package,
or
is
that
distributed
throughout
the
throughout
the
city?
Hall
I'm
just
trying
to
understand
who
do
we
go
to
figure
out
hey?
Can
we
go
get
money
for
this.
N
Thanks
for
your
question,
we
are
tracking
the
the
19.3
billion
dollars.
That's
coming
in
the
climate
energy
package,
as
well
as
the
inflation
reduction
act
that
will
have
energy
and
climate
Provisions
as
well.
Steve
Stamos,
who
joined
our
team
recently,
will
be
focusing
on
infrastructure
related
things,
in
particular
great
and
we'll
be
tracking
those
issues.
B
Okay,
Steve
we'll
be
talking
thanks,
that's
great
and
then
final
question
back
to
Steve
Cruz
on
hap
I
know,
there's
been
a
lot
of
speculation
about
changing
or
altering
the
flexibility
that
cities
the
large
13
cities
have
had.
With
regard
to
half
allocations.
B
Are
you
hearing
that's
going
to
be
coming
in
a
trailer
Bill?
If
that's
going
to
be
coming
in
the
form
of
regs
or
there's
something
we
ought
to
be
doing
in
his
cities?.
M
Yeah
you
know
we
are
hearing
that,
but
we've
chatted
with
Scott
Greene
earlier
today
and
I
think
we're
hearing
some
of
the
same
information
about
the
potential
that
there
would
be
in
trailer,
Bill
language
Provisions.
That
would
take
away
some
of
that
flexibility.
So
we've
talked
about
some
initial
Outreach
that
from
the
administration,
so
we've
talked
about
some
initial
Outreach
with
the
budget
chairs
and
a
pushback
is
the
right
word,
but
to
you
know
to
try
to
ensure
that
there's
a
clear
understanding
of
how
beneficial
the
flexibility
is.
M
Particularly
with
you
know
an
operating.
You
know
you
know
some
of
these
programs.
B
Okay,
so
should
we
should
be
going
to
assembly,
member
Ting
and
Center
Square
correct?
Okay,
that's
helpful!
Thank
you
and
I
know
we're
all
concerned
about
accountability
and
we
expect
and
invite
it.
We
just
don't
want
strings,
correct.
Okay,
thank
you.
Councilmember
Cohen,.
R
Yeah
I
did
councilmember
fully
raised
a
good
point
about
the
language.
That's
in
the
the
prop
31
issue
and
I
think
it
might
make
sense
to
clarify
and
maybe
change
the
wording
a
little
bit
so
I'll
ask
you
whether
you
think
it
makes
sense
and
before
I
ask
for
a
friendly
Amendment,
but
rather
than
have
it
say
prop
31
is
a
referendum
challenging
the
2020
law.
We
could
say
prop.
R
31
is
a
referendum
to
uphold
the
2020
law
and
then
say
that
we
support
because
I
think
we
want
our
voters
to
know
that
they
have
to
support
this
proposition
in
order
to
ban
flavored
tobacco.
So
I
think
we
should
be
very
clear
in
the
language
and
is
that
does
that
make
sense?
Does
that
make
me?
Do
you
agree
with.
B
L
L
E
B
Aye.
Thank
you
all
right,
thanks
everybody.
Thank
you
all
right.
We
are
on
to
item
3.5,
which
is
fiscal
year,
2223
property
tax
levy
for
General
obligation,
bonds.
A
D
All
right,
well
Beekman,
here
I,
just
wanted
to
quickly
comment
that
this
issue,
that
to
to
deal
with
obligation,
Bond
issues,
I'm
interested,
how
you
know
that
the
oversight,
the
public
oversight
of
bonds,
how
bonds
issues
can
work
but
I,
think
you've
started
some
interesting
ideas
with
the
measure.
T
process
and
I
just
wanted
to
complement
yourselves.
That
I
think
it
offers
a
really
interesting
structuring.
That
invites
the
public
to
be
a
part
of
the
bond
process
in
our
future.
D
So
thanks
for
doing
that,
I
hope
it
could
be
a
good
model
for
other
cities
of
the
Bay
Area.
Thank
you.
B
B
B
B
All
right
item
3.6
is
a
public
hearing
for
the
fiscal
year.
2223
sanitary
sewer
service
and
use
charge
and
storm
sewer,
Services
charge
assessments
we'll
go
first
to
public
to
see
if
there
are
any
comments
or
questions
on
item
3.6.
Regarding
these
assessments,
I.
A
A
L
Q
B
All
right,
I
am
2.7
as
a
public
hearing
for
the
fiscal
year,
22-23
annual
residential,
solid
waste
collection
service
charges
to
be
placed
on
the
property
tax
rolls
also
also
known
as
garbage
okay.
So
the
public
hearing
is
now
open.
We
invite
any
members
of
the
public
who
would
like
to
speak
on
this
item.
Item
3.7
annual
residential,
solid
waste
collection
service
charges.
D
Thank
you
Beekman
here
for
the
these
past
two
items,
just
a
thank
you,
I
hope
as
homeowners
in
in
the
bit
in
San
Jose
that
they
can
be
giving
to
to
to
once
you
accept
these
sort
of
taxes
and
and
how
they
can
pay
for
them,
because
if
they
can,
it
is
a
help
to
people
of
lower
income
who
have
more
difficult
times
with
these
sort
of
issues,
and
there
is
the
concepts
of
subsidy
as
I
always
try
to
mention
to
you
know
we
are
in
into
a
new
era
of
how
to
talk
about
subsidy
and
what
subsidies
we're
receiving
that
can
possibly
be
of
help
to
homeowners
here
and
just
a
reminder
of
those
things
and
the
overall
subsidy
practices
and
that
we're
trying
to
be
Equitable
to
what
people
of
higher
income
can
pay
for
compared
with
people
of
lower
income,
who
it
can
be
a
more
difficult
process
to
pay
for
these
things.
D
So
that's
the
point,
I
think
of
these
sort
of
issues
and
I
just
thought
I
would
try
to
bring
that
out
at
this
time.
Thank
you.
A
J
A
B
Thank
you.
Is
there
any
comment
from
the
council.
I
see
no
hands
raised,
Let's
we'll
entertain
a
motion
move.
A
B
B
All
right
we're
going
to
consider
two
items
together
now:
item
5.1,
which
is
the
move,
San
Jose
plan
and
item
5.2,
the
transit
first
policy.
So
we'll
have
the
presentations
be
combined.
We
have
John
the
whole
Department
transportation
team
here
and
then
we'll
have
Papa
comment
and
but
we'll
I
guess
we're
required
to
vote
separately.
So
that's
what
we'll
do
welcome
John
and
team.
L
Thank
you
good
afternoon,
mayor
and
Council
John
Russo,
director
of
transportation,
and
yes,
we've
got
two
items
we're
going
to
do
at
once.
We
will
have
a
presentation,
I
just
want
to
introduce
the
group
here
and
then
we'll
get
started.
We
have
Jessica
deputy
director
of
Department
of
Transportation
Ramses,
madhu
division
manager
and
Kate
white
from
Arab.
She
was
the
primary
author
of
the
move,
San
Jose
plan
just
a
little
bit
of
background
context
with
the
following:
the
adoption
of
General
plan
2040
and
climate
smart
and
the
city's
Equity
preferences.
L
We
knew
that
we
were
going
to
have
to
take
a
step
back
and
see
what
the
transportation
needs
were
going
to
be
for
those
policies,
Progressive
policies
and
goals
that
were
in
those
plans.
So
this
does
result
in
a
combination
of
about
a
two-year
effort
to
take
a
look
at
how
Transportation
was
going
to
address
those
plans.
L
So
what
you're
going
to
see
today
is
what
what
we're
proposing
as
our
plan,
how
to
address
that
we're
going
to
show
a
couple
different
ways
that
we
want
to
how
we're
going
to
use
these
practices
and
tools
to
be
able
to
use
these
plans
over
the
long
term.
And
then
one
of
the
other
items
today
is
one
example
of
the
many
sub-plans
that
we've
got
that
really
embed
themselves
in
this
overall
umbrella
plan.
B
I
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
John
Ramses,
Mandu
division
manager,
planning
policy
sustainability
for
Department
of
Transportation
I'm,
going
to
go
over
a
little
bit
of
the.
Why,
for
this
plan
on
how
we
built
it
before
I,
pass
it
off
to
Kate
to
talk
about
the
actual
proposal,
so
San
Jose
business
as
usual
right,
we
have
about
2500
miles
of
roadway
in
the
city
of
San
Jose.
It
is
by
far
the
largest
investment
the
city
has
ever
made.
I
It
is
a
massive
piece
of
public
infrastructure
that
reflects
our
goals
and
values
and,
depending
on
how
we
use
it,
the
system
carries
about
3.2
million
trips
per
day
and
about
18.8
million
vehicle
miles
traveled
per
day.
But,
as
we
know,
the
system
as
it
is
going
now
is
starting
to
strain.
It
is
getting
harder
and
harder
to
get
around
by
a
vehicle.
I
This
is
really
a
sign
of
success.
I
mean
if
you
really
think
about
this.
We've
designed
an
incredible
system.
That's
done
an
incredible
job,
but
as
new
goals
for
our
society
and
City
are
really
starting
to
get
important
and
as
new
changes
to
the
city
are
coming,
this
system
is
no
longer
meeting
all
the
goals
that
are
City
documents
and
our
public
want
us
to
be
pursuing
with
our
transportation.
I
As
we
know,
the
system,
as
is,
is
getting
increasingly
congested
again.
It
is
very
hard
to
get
around
and
pre-pandemic
getting
anywhere
doing.
Commute
time
was
pretty
painful
and
many
of
our
primary
corridors
with
this
many
people
using
the
system
and
more
and
more
coming
in,
and
we
can
expect
more
injuries
and
fatalities,
which
we
are,
of
course,
trying
to
fight
with
our
vision,
zero
program
as
much
as
possible,
but
as
we
get
more
users
in,
we
don't
start
moving
towards
something
new.
I
This
is
what
we're
going
to
see.
The
climate
impact
of
the
current
system
is
immense,
60
or
50
to
60,
depending
on
which
estimate
you
look
at
of
all
omissions
from
our
city
come
from
our
transportation
system
and,
lastly,
those
emissions
at
the
local
level
not
only
affect
climate
change,
but
effect
families
and
Community
Health
at
a
very
intense
level,
with
children
growing
up
near
highways,
seeing
Market
health
effects
that
those
who
go
away
from
them.
I
I
I
But
what
we
still
need
is
a
system
that
or
a
strategic
plan
that
gets
us
from
those
goals
to
the
actual
changes,
and
so
this
is
where
move
San
Jose
really
comes
in
right.
I
have
the
the
previous
plans,
the
Visions
San
Jose
and
climate
smart,
give
us
that
very
large
level,
Direction
move,
Santa
move,
San
Jose
or
the
San
Jose
access,
Mobility
plan
steps
in
and
plays
an
umbrella
role
to
all
of
the
other
activities
that
are
going
on
within
mobility
and
in
the
Department
of
Transportation.
I
This
gives
plans
like
the
better
bike
plan,
emerging,
Mobility
or
any
of
the
area
plans
that
were
developed
or
already
adopted,
such
as
a
movement
or
the
downtown's
transportation
plan.
I
It
gives
them
a
prioritization,
it
gives
them
starting
points
as
to
where
they
should
be
looking
when
they're,
when
they're
going
the
data
system
that
we
built
as
part
of
this
Transportation
Plan
called
the
decision
support
system
which
we'll
be
talking
about
a
little
more
here,
underwrites
our
the
way
that
we
bring
these
plants
together,
so
we're
using
many
metrics
that
help
us
make
better
decisions
and
give
us
a
across
the
city
understanding
of
what
how
things
are
about
so
overall
move.
I
San
Jose
gives
us
strategic
plan
that
implements
data-driven
decision
making
and
uses
listens
to
an
integrated
Community
feedback
that
we
develop
through
the
plan.
I
All
right,
so
this
plan
was
developed
over
a
couple
years
and
one
of
the
first
things
we
did
was
go
through
many
public
workshops
in
Spanish,
Vietnamese
and
English
to
refine
what
the
city's
goals
were
around
Transportation.
What
are
we
trying
to
accomplish
right?
I
We
came
down
to
these
nine
goals
that
anchor
everything
else
we're
doing
in
this
plant
and
we'll
anchor
everything
we
do
in
dot
to
further
Mobility
won't
go
through
all
of
them,
but
I'll
say
all
of
them
are
important,
but
the
Transportation
safety
clean,
the
air,
which
is
the
the
climate
change
focused
metric,
as
well
as
the
access
for
all
standout
as
the
ones
that
drive
us
the
best.
I
All
right,
so
we
took
these
nine
goals
and
developed
what
is
now
the
package
of
recommendations
that
are
in
front
of
you
today.
First
we
took
those
goals
and
then
we
created
key
performance
indicators,
ways
to
track
whether
we're
on
actually
seeing
these
goals
implemented,
how
these
different
goals
work
in
different
neighborhoods
things
like
that.
I
In
parallel,
we
developed
a
very
long
list
of
strategies
over
400
strategies
were
originally
identified
through
an
exhaustive
National
and
international
search,
as
well
as
local
engagement
with
community
members
and
Transportation
professionals
across
the
bay
area.
I
We
then
boiled
those
400
strategies
down
looking
at
how
they
work
within
San
Jose,
some
some
work
in
San
Jose,
some
don't
some
are
trying
to
solve
different
problems.
Many
of
them
can
be
boiled
down
to
similar
things
and
working
with
the
decision
support
system.
We
built
really
calculated
how
these
different
strategies
would
work
within
the
metrics
we
created.
Then
we
estimated
the
outcomes
of
the
different
strategies
and
then
finally
packaged
up
everything
together.
I
I,
don't
expect
you
to
read
these
all
and
I
won't
read
them
either,
but
these
are
the
key
performance
indicators,
so
there's
roughly
50
key
performance
indicators
that
all
relate
back
to
different
goals
right,
so
we're
trying
we're
going
to
continue
to
track
not
only
in
developing
this
plan
but
going
forward
how
these
different
key
performance
indicators
are,
are
working,
how
they're
going,
and
that
is
how
we're
going
to
keep
ourselves
on
track
to
making
this
happen.
I
So
this
decision
support
system
takes
this
key
performance
indicators
and
will
enable
us
or
does
enable
us
to
report
and
map
on
all
of
these
indicators,
and
you
can
see
it's
at
a
pretty
refined,
neighborhood
level
that
allows
us
to
understand
where
different
elements
of
the
of
our
goals
are
being
met
and
where
they're
not.
And
so
it
really
allows
us
to
highlight
the
needs
that
we
have
within
the
system,
and
it
also
allows
us
to
compare
the
value
of
projects
right.
I
So
one
of
the
main
purposes
of
the
system
is
to
say
when
we
are
choosing
our
next
action.
What's
the
best
one,
what
is
the
thing
that
is
the
next
best
step
in
choosing
this
right,
trying
to
create
that
umbrella
plan
across
all
the
other
actions
we
do.
This
is
how
we
do
that.
I
I
will
note.
We
already
got
a
grant
from
Cal
from
Caltrans.
They
were
so
impressed
with
what
we
already
built,
that
they
already
give
us
a
grant
to
go
into
what
we
had
scoped
as
our
second
phase,
which
will
create
a
public
interface
to
the
system
as
well
as
more
refined.
Before
and
after
study
capabilities
within
the
systems
you'll
be
able
to
see
that
much
more,
not
only
where
should
we
go,
but
how
effective
is
what
we
did.
That's
really
the
vision
for
that
right:
public
engagement.
I
There
was
a
great
deal
of
public
engagement
and
developing
the
goals,
the
strategies
and
everything
that
that
constitutes
this
plan,
we're
incredibly
lucky
to
bring
in
community-based
organizations
as
part
of
the
project
plan.
As
we
do
with
all
of
the
planning
work
in
D.O.T
we
bring
in
cbos,
we
were
joined
by
Luna
pact
at
the
Silicon
Valley
Independent
Living
Center,
and
the
Vietnamese
voluntary
Foundation.
I
We
attached
about
1500
San
Jose
through
seven
public
workshops,
more
than
half
of
which
were
not
in
English.
They
were
in
either
Spanish
or
Vietnamese.
We
carried
out
focus
groups,
surveys,
Community
presentations,
a
lot
of
contact
all
right.
So
what's
the
general
narrative
that
we
got
back,
you
know
there's
an
immense
amount
of
feedback,
but
trying
to
sum
up
what
1500
different
people
tried
to
say
to
us.
It's
very
difficult:
I'm
gonna,
try
the
simple
narrative.
Is
this
people
like
this
vision
of
going
into
a
multimodal
system?
I
They
want
to
get
around
in
more
timely,
reliable,
safe
and
affordable
ways,
but
our
system
is
not
there
yet
many
many
people
say
I
would
love
to
take
more
Transit
I'd
like
to
bike
more
I'd
like
to
feel
like
walking
in
my
neighborhood
is
the
thing
I
want
to
do,
but
we
do
not
yet
have
the
infrastructure
in
many
places
to
make
that
a
reality
for
people
I.
Don't
think
this
is
a
surprise
to
us.
I
Other
important
parts
of
the
Outreach
that
we
received
was
the
people
with
disabilities.
Community
really
came
out
and
said:
hey
as
you're
thinking
through
this
as
you're
going
forward.
You
need
to
think
about
us
at
a
ground
level
right
and
design.
Yeah
Ada
is
not
enough.
That's
a
base
requirement
to
grow
much
more.
I
You
need
to
make
sure
that
you're
incorporating
many
aspects
of
the
disabilities
community,
so
not
only
people
in
wheelchairs,
people
who
can't
hear
well,
people
who
can't
see-
and
then
the
last
two
points
here
on
this
slide-
are
that
Transportation
sits
within
the
the
larger
context
of
many
other
issues
right.
I
So
housing
and
unhoused
crisis
are
both
affected
by
and
affect
Transportation
great
deal,
for
example,
many
of
the
changes
we
would
like
to
see
in
places
like
East
San
Jose,
where
we
have
a
high
density
or
higher
densities
of
people
in
housing,
then
was
originally
designed
for,
has
created
a
situation
where
the
folks
who
need
things
like
bike
Lanes
to
reduce
their
transportation
costs.
The
most
are
not
necessarily
very
in
favor
of
it
because
it
could
affect
the
parking
for
their
cars,
which
they
need
to
get
to
work.
I
Now
get
a
bit
of
a
negative
Catch
22
there
trying
to
work
ourselves
out
there
and
then
the
unhoused
crisis
is
an
interesting
link
where
we
have
Trails.
We
have
one
of
the
best
trail
systems.
You
can
imagine,
but
many
people
are
afraid
to
use
it
because
of
the
folks
living
on
the
sides
or
the
poor
folks
who
are
still
up
there
great
again,
Quagmire
of
different
issues,
all
right.
C
Thank
you
Ramses
and
council
members,
mayor
licardo,
just
absolutely
honored
to
be
here
today
and
to
get
to
support
these
your
fantastic
team
on
move,
San
Jose
and
you
should
be
very
proud
of
the
work.
That's
gone
on
the
last
couple
years.
This
is
one
of
the
most
creative
Innovative
adaptive
Nimble
Transportation
plans,
I've
ever
seen
so
kudos
to
to
everybody,
who's
been
working
on
it
and
the
public
who's
participated.
C
So
what
are
we
actually
talking
about?
What
are
we
going
to
do
with
this
plan?
What
are
the
strategies
that
are
going
to
move
forward
and
Rams
has
mentioned
that
we
analyzed
over
400
different
potential
strategies
that
would
get
you
to
your
goals
and
we
looked
at
the
effectiveness
of
those
strategies
in
moving
the
needle
on
climate
on
equity,
on
access
to
the
city
and
everything
that
everybody
wants
to
get
to
and
we
landed
on
26
specific
strategies.
C
Some
of
them
are
here
on
the
slide,
and
then
we
group
them
into
three
major
categories.
So
there's
streets,
there's
Transit
and
there's
policy
and
programs
so
with
streets,
it's
really
how
to
build
and
maintain
infrastructure,
especially
bike
and
ped
infrastructure.
Pedestrian
infrastructure
to
retain
and
really
attract
more
users,
so
people
feel
more
comfortable,
walking
and
biking
with
Transit.
C
It's
so
important
for
the
city
to
play
a
key
role
in
partnership
with
BTA,
to
improve
and
expand
Transit
facilities
and
really
be
part
of
creating
that
viable,
accessible,
reliable
network
of
transit
services
and
then
there's
a
whole
series
of
policy
and
programs
you'll
hear
about
one
later
today,
and
so
how
do
we
really
move
the
city
forward
in
terms
of
good
options
for
low
carbon
travel?
C
So
next
slide
great?
And
so
we
lined
up
all
these
strategy
back
to
our
goals
and
you
can
see,
there's
there's
good
alignment
on
on
where
all
these
streets,
Transit
and
policy
strategies
move
us
closer
to
to
to
our
goals.
C
C
It's
a
very
large,
diverse
city,
as
we
know,
and
so,
depending
on
where
you
live,
work
and
play,
there's
different
needs
and
we
conducted
A
needs
assessment
to
see
where
are
the
greatest
needs
and
identify
the
best
of
those
strategies
to
address
those
needs.
So
what
are
the
characteristics
of
your
of
the
population?
What
are
major
destination?
Centers
we
looked
at
what
are
the
greatest
needs
in
that
in
particular
districts
our
Transit
improvements
coming
already
what's
on
the
books
and
what?
Where
are
the
gaps?
C
And
then
we
also
worked
with
community-based
organizations
that
Ramsey's
mentions
and
a
whole
bunch
of
neighborhood
meetings
as
well
District
by
District
to
find
out
what
strategies
you
know
were
of
most
interest
to
to
your
your
to
the
public,
and
then
we
we
utilized
each
of
the
each
of
our
our
new
tools
to
look
at
the
goals
and
the
metrics
and
see
how
each
district
is
doing.
How
are
you
lining
up
towards?
C
C
Are
you
doing
better
or
or
Worse
on
on
different
goal
areas,
and
so
you
can
see,
for
example,
here
District
three
compared
to
the
city-wide
average
District
3
does
better
than
the
city-wide
average
for
a
number
of
these
goals,
including
20-minute
neighborhoods,
connected
neighborhoods
move
the
economy,
but
we
can
also
see
that
District,
3
lowest
scores
are
for
enjoyable,
Transportation,
Transportation
safety
and
less
driving,
and
so,
given
that
we
are
focused
for
District
3,
on
on
trying
to
move
these
three
goals
closer
up
to
our
goals
and
also
towards
you
know
doing
better
than
the
city
average
or
at
least
meeting
the
city
average.
C
So
for
district
three
again,
for
example,
we
focused
on
these
strategies,
which
are-
and
we
also
did
a
gut
check
with
the
community.
Are
we
going?
Is
the
data
driven
identification
of
strategies
and
there's
also
the
community
checking
if
this
really
makes
sense
for
for
district
three,
and
these
were
the
eight
priority
strategies
that
emerged
that'll
turn
to
just.
Q
Good
afternoon
Jessica
Zink
deputy
director
for
the
Department
of
Transportation
I'm,
going
to
back
us
up
to
the
Citywide
level
and
talk
about
implementation
because,
as
you've
heard
and
can
appreciate,
this
is
a
living
and
a
large
planning
effort
right
with
data
to
help
us
make
decisions
now
and
into
the
future,
and
we
also
need
to
really
know.
Where
do
we
start
so
we're
zeroing
in
on
these
strategies
and
next
steps,
many
of
which
are
already
getting
underway
to
some
extent
and
others.
Q
So
we'll
fold
those
into
these
implementation
actions
with
an
emphasis,
as
requested
on
the
things
that
are
within
the
purview
of
the
city
and
implementable
within
the
next
24
months.
Q
We've
also
thought
about
our
actions
in
terms
of
of
timeline.
Here,
right.
After
a
consideration
by
the
city
council
today,
we're
looking
to
advance,
as
Rams
has
mentioned,
Transit
first
policy
and
also
some
of
the
other
policies
and
ordinances
you're
familiar
with
that
we're
working
on
and
also
have
both
internal
and
public
campaigns
to
continue
the
work
identified
in
here
with
our
partners
on
the
steering
committee
who've
been
with
us
through
the
creation
of
this
plan,
as
well
as
within
our
own
Department
of
Transportation.
Q
You
can
also
see
some
of
the
things
that
we
are
lining
up
for
next
year,
as
well
as
some
of
the
things
that
are
just
going
to
be
ongoing
practices
for
the
Department
of
Transportation
moving
forward
and
with
that
I'm
going
to
turn
it
over
to
Ramses.
For
the
second
item,
5.2
Transit,
first
presentation.
Thank.
I
You
Jess
we're
going
to
drive
dive
right
into
the
next
item.
This
is
item
5.2,
combined
presentation,
so
the
transit
first
policy
is
an
implementation
of
one
of
the
highlighted
areas
of
work
in
the
San
Jose
plan
and
directed
piece
of
work
from
Council
for
the
last
few
years.
I
I
Bta
buses
are
spending
32
percent
of
their
time
at
traffic
signals
speeds
have
decreased
by
20
percent,
and
the
budget
at
VTA
is
struggling,
and
one
of
the
important
elements
of
all
of
this
is
that
faster
buses
are
actually
cheaper
buses.
The
costs
less
to
put
they
don't
have
to
put
as
many
buses
out
to
produce
the
same
amount
of
service.
I
I
The
city
has
to
do
with
Transit
success,
while
VTA
might
run
the
vehicles,
the
design
of
our
streets,
the
operation
of
our
lights,
the
design
of
access
to
stations
and
two
stops
are
all
under
our
purview,
so
everything
from
making
sure
buses
and
Light
Rail
can
get
in
and
out
of
where
they
need
to
to
stop
where
the
vehicles
can
travel
and
how
mixed
they
are
with
other
traffic
and
especially
for
writers.
I
All
right,
so
this
policies
goals,
along
with
much
of
what
else
we
are
doing
in
dot
in
the
city,
is
first
led
by
Equity.
We
know
that
a
lot
of
folks
who
need
the
most
help
in
terms
of
reducing
their
transportation
costs,
as
well
as
are
less
likely
to
be
able
to
afford
an
expensive
vehicle,
are
the
same
folks
who
need
to
be
writing
Transit,
so
making
sure
that
our
investments
are
going
in
the
right
place
is
incredibly
important.
I
Another
part
is
competitiveness,
transit
for
it
to
be
attractive
and
usable
to
support
folks's
lives.
It
needs
to
be
competitive
with
other
travel
modes
and
so
really
focusing
on.
How
do
we
create
competitiveness
between
modes
is
core
here,
the
other
one
is
reliability.
Everybody
knows
waiting
for
a
bus
and
it
not
showing
up
five
seven,
eight
minutes
after
you
expected.
It
basically
makes
you
feel,
like
a
second-class
citizen
and
also
makes
you
potentially
late
for
your
shift,
which
can
cause
all
kinds
of
issues
at
your
job
right.
I
Many
other
versions
of
that
story
so
really
need
to
make
sure
reliability
is
key.
So
what
are
we
considering
in
terms
of
the
transit
first
policy
today,
two
parts,
one:
is
the
policy
itself.
This
policy,
if
enacted,
gives
staff
in
the
city
explicit
Direction
to
design
our
streets
and
our
operation
systems
within
the
right
contexts,
along
Grand,
boulevards
and
other
designated
streets
to
give
Transit
priority.
This
can
be
again
in
all
those
different
ways
that
we
talked
about.
I
There
are
nine
guidelines
in
there
and
they
again
direct
us
where
and
when
to
make
some
of
these
changes
to
the
streets.
The
second
part
is
toolkit.
Toolkit
is
a
set
of
Technologies
infrastructures.
All
of
these
kinds
of
things
that
we
can
use
by
the
city
to
create
a
better
Transit
environment,
I'm
going
to
say
one
more
thing
about
what
this
policy
is.
I
I
So
how
does
that
work
as
we
do
new
Transportation
plans
or
Corridor
Transportation
Planning
efforts,
we'll
specifically
draw
in
these
guidelines
into
those
efforts
to
make
sure
that
we
are
progressing
transit's
ability
to
operate
a
few
elements
here
as
to
what
the
toolkit
are
examples
of?
What's
in
the
toolkit,
things
like
Transit
signal
priority
Transit
boarding
islands
for
those
who
are
around
downtown.
You
can
see
us
putting
some
new
ones
in
on
10th
and
11th
right
now,
wayfinding
and
the
like,
and
with
that
we
are
open
for
questions.
B
Thank
you
Ramses
and
Kate
and
team
all
right.
Let's
go
to
the
public
first
and
we'll
come
back
to
council.
A
L
They
represent
a
remarkable
amount
of
work
and
a
tremendous
amount
of
Outreach
which
we've
personally
seen
in
the
community
on
behalf
of
staff,
and
we
really
commend
staff
for
the
work
they've
done
to
get
this
to
the
council
over,
as,
as
they
said
over
a
couple
of
years.
We
also
appreciate
the
well
thought
out:
I'm,
welcome
and
council
members
Morales,
Davis
and
Bully,
and
also
support
the
direction
from
vice
mayor
Jones's
memo
today.
This
is
not
a
time
to
be
timid
about
supporting
Transit
and
alternatives
to
single
occupancy.
A
G
E
Also
I
support
both
these
actions,
because
I
am
past
tired
of
seeing
people
get
killed
along
our
San
Jose
street.
It's
like
to
walk
bike
and
die
in
San
ho
because
the
streets,
many
of
them,
especially
Monterey
Highway,
or
six
to
eight
Lanes,
where
you're,
risking
your
life
just
across
the
street,
we
had
maybe
15
seconds.
You
risk
your
life
crossing
the
streets
just
to
get
a
loaf
of
bread.
That's
none
of
that
stuff
is
really
a
world-class
City.
What
is
a
world-class
city
where
Civic
boosters
in
San
Jose
strives
to
be?
E
They
make
room
for
things
like
buses.
They
have
room
for
places
where
people
can
just
walk
and
not
have
to
drive
everywhere,
where
they
don't
have
to
drive
basically
two
doors
away,
because
there's
no
sidewalk
in
the
area,
as
I've
seen
in
some
areas
of
San
Jose,
especially
the
east
side
and
the
South
Side.
So,
let's
make
both
of
these
things
happen.
I
want
to
thank
I
also
want
to
thank
council
member
Pam
Foley,
and
my
colleague
Monica
Mountain,
brought
me
to
make
all
this
good
stuff
happen.
So,
let's
make
it
happen,
Council.
Thank
you.
A
Hi
marilicardo,
council
members.
Thank
you
for
your
time.
My
name
is
Robbie
abanore
and
I'm,
a
transportation
strategist
with
the
natural
resource
defense
Council,
calling
in
today's
speaking
strong
support
of
items.
5.1
5.2,
San
Jose
is
a
national
leader
on
sustainability
and
adopting
the
move.
San
Jose
plan
will
show
the
city's
continued
leadership
on
this
issue.
In
the
face
of
climate
change,
gas
scheduling,
personal
cars
cannot
be
the
default
where
residents
get
around
move.
A
A
Public
transit
is
a
sustainable
and
affordable
means
of
transportation,
but
it's
not
reliable.
Investors
are
stuck
in
traffic,
while
public
transit
can
and
should
be
for
all
people.
We
have
specifically
heard
residents
of
underserved
communities
in
San
Jose,
consistently
call
for
Transit
that
is
faster,
more
frequent
and
more
convenient.
The
city
needs
to
answer
their
call
in
the
transit.
First
policy
begins
to
do
that.
A
There's
no
one
solution
for
making
San
Jose,
more
sustainable
and
staff
have
thoughtfully
worked
with
communities
across
this
diverse
City
to
cross
plans
that
put
resident
needs.
First,
the
move,
San
Jose
plan
and
the
transit
first
policy
are
critical
steps
toward
making
the
city's
Transportation
Systems
more
sustainable,
more
Equitable
and
more
accessible.
Please
support
staff
recommendations
and
accept
these
items.
Thank
you,
caller
9158.
S
Yes,
Paul
settle
from
the
Horseshoe.
That
was,
you
know,
what's
scary
about
that
piece
of
propaganda.
Is
that
the
guy
that
was
reading
it
believes
it?
He
believes
every
single
word
about
that
transparent
piece
of
propaganda.
If
anybody
doesn't
know
what
propaganda
is,
what
you
just
heard
right
now
is
propaganda.
That's
number
one
number,
two
Cobalt
nickel
and
lithium.
Those
are
the
three
buzzwords
that
I
want
to
discuss
because
we're
going
to
need
enormous,
enormous
amounts
of
all
three
of
those
minerals
in
order
to
support
this
electrified
infrastructure
that
you're
talking
about.
S
That
means
that
we're
going
to
have
to
conduct
wars
with
other
countries
and
install
public
governments
in
order
to
facilitate
this
electrification
of
the
transportation
of
the
infrastructure.
Here
in
Salome,
that's
a
fact,
and
that's
it
conspicuously
absent
from
this
discussion.
So
I
suggest
we
start
getting
real
used
to
it
because
all
of
a
sudden
there's
going
to
be
Wars
in
Chile
in
South
America,
because
they
are
the
largest
producers
of
those
three
minerals
which
is
absolutely
necessary
for
the
batteries
for
the
vehicles
and
for
the
buses.
S
So,
let's
start
talking
about
that
and
these
public
governments
that
are
going
to
be
installed
on
behalf
of
the
United
States,
so
that
what
this
dude
said,
Equitable
Transportation,
hey,
save
it
buddy
I,
don't
need
you
talking
about
what
it
is
that
I
need
it's
condescending
for
you
to
think
that
you
could
be
in
a
position
to
discuss
anything
that
affects
my
life.
Thank
you.
Q
A
Jason
Kim
hi
good
afternoon,
my
name
is
Jason
Kim
and
I'm.
Speaking
on
behalf
of
VTA
today,
I
want
to
thank
the
city
for
the
great
work
on
both
of
these
items
and
we
fully
support
both
of
them.
Specifically,
we're
really
thankful
for
the
opportunity
to
work
with
the
city
on
the
transit
first
policy
and
we're
really
looking
forward
to
working
with
the
city
on
making
lasting
changes
to
improve
Transit,
both
trans
speed
and
Transit
access
Citywide.
A
So
we're
really
looking
forward
to
this
continued
coordination
with
the
city,
and
we
really
hope
that
we
can
really
work
on
implementing
a
lot
of
these
processes
and
the
tools
and
toolkit
within
the
next
couple
years.
So
yeah.
Just
once
again,
we
want
to
thank
the
city
for
being
a
really
great
partner
to
both
VTA
and
just
to
transit
in
general,
and
we
look
forward
to
our
continued
partnership.
S
S
Second
of
all,
praise
to
staff
in
dot
for
including
a
strong,
Community
engagement
component
to
your
work.
You
know
that
we
care
about
Community
engagement,
a
lot
and
we
are
delighted
to
see
very
local
community-based
organizations.
Very
targeted,
very
thoughtful
groups
like
Vivo,
Silicon,
Valley,
Independent,
Living,
Center
pact
and
Luna
as
part
of
your
process
going
directly
to
community-based
organizations
is
something
dot
and
other
City
staff
are
doing
in
multiple
ways,
and
we
think
that
is
the
right
step.
I'm
sure
you'll
be
talking
about
a
little
bit
more
later.
S
The
other
thing
you
know
we
care
about
and
talk
to
you
about
at
times
is
Transit
passes
for
residents
of
new
developments,
so
you'll
be
implementing
this
new
policy,
and
yet
tonight,
when
you
vote
on
projects
and
in
the
months
ahead,
you'll
continue
to
have
opportunities
as
a
council
to
actually
influence
and
improve
this
policy
implementation
by
allowing
or
encouraging
or
requiring
developers
as
part
of
your
TDM
measures
to
include
Transit
passes.
So
we
know
planning
staff
is
working
on
that
closely.
S
It
is
definitely
in
conjunction
with
the
vote
you
all
took
in
June
to
eliminate
parking
mandates,
and
so
there's
such
good
Synergy
here
between
that
vote
of
yours.
The
vote
hopefully
you'll,
take
today
to
put
Transit
first
and
to
keep
our
city
moving
through
more
sustainable,
healthy
ways.
Thanks
so
much.
D
All
right,
thank
you,
Gloria
Beekman,
here
thanks
a
lot
for
the
words
of
the
previous
speaker,
transit,
pass
ideas
for
redevelopment
or
for
development.
New
developments
is
really
interesting.
D
Good
luck
in
what
your
in
the
work,
you're
doing
with
regional
transit,
pass
issues
and
I
think
that's
an
important
New
Field
in
our
future
of
this
sort
of
transportation
and
free
fairs
fairs
that
are
very
limited
and
not
much
that's
an
important
concept
and
and
more
buses
along
routes
to
speed
at
the
time
people
can
re
get
on
a
bus
are
all
interesting
ideas
that
thank
goodness,
you're
talking
about
them.
Thank
you
immensely.
D
It's
very
hopeful
that
you're
doing
that
about
the
move
on
items
of
the
previous
5.1
that
was
talked
about
what
Paul
Soto
mentioned.
You
know
he's
right,
I
mean
we
have
to
I,
try
to
say
that
you
know
in
the
upcoming
Electrical.
You
know
world
of
using
electric
energy,
the
minerals
that
are
needed.
We
have
to
have
good
worker
rights
for
people
in
South,
America
and
Africa,
and
maybe
that
can
head
off.
D
You
know
what
inevitably
sounds
like
what
Paul
is
saying:
the
future
of
warfare
that
will
take
place
good
worker
rights
is
huge.
I,
always
talk
about
in
how
we
have
to
talk
about
these
sort
of
the
future
of
electric
energy.
So
good
luck
in
those
efforts
and
a
quick
reminder
that
you
know
the
importance
of
being
honest
with
our
statistics
is
just
incredibly
vital
to
this
sort
of
work.
I.
D
We
can't
FIB
on
things
like
KS,
KSI,
stuff,
we're
building
a
sustainable
future,
and
that
means
we
all
have
to
be
involved
in
open,
accountable
practices
that
addresses
Warfare.
It
decreases
Warfare.
It
invites
peace,
sustainability
and
our
better
practices.
Good
luck!
How
we
can
do
these
things.
K
Good
afternoon
mayor
vice
mayor
and
City
Council
Members,
my
name
is
Erica
Pinto,
with
spur
speaking
on
the
combined
agendas
agenda
items
as
a
whole.
We
appreciate
the
work
done
by
City
staff,
Consulting
partners
and
Community
organizations
and
members
as
they
continue
planning
for
more
livable
and
Equitable
neighborhoods
in
the
city
of
San
Jose.
The
two
items
before
you
today
outline
next
steps
that
were
careful
and
well
thought
out
that
will
move
San,
Jose
closer
to
meeting
its
environmental
equity
and
economic
goals.
K
To
that
end,
spur
has
been
a
supporter
of
the
city's
efforts
to
align
its
many
Transportation
policies
and
strategies
to
better
serve
people
traveling
within
the
City,
by
prioritizing
Transit
operations
and
improving
access.
The
adoption
of
these
proposed
policy
changes
will
also
align
with
San
Jose's
Envision
2040
General
plan
climate,
smart
plan
and
zero
emissions,
2030
pledge,
which
also
means
that
the
council
will
bring
San
Jose
and
its
residents
closer
and
reach
to
a
more
connected
and
resilient
City.
K
The
city
of
San
Jose
enjoys
a
growing
Transit
network
with
ongoing
local
and
Regional
Investments
and
Employers
in
Silicon.
Valley
are
continuously
interested
in
great
places
for
people
to
live,
work
and
play.
This
requires
updating
existing
plans
and
proposing
new
strategies
to
support
Equitable,
reliable,
safe
and
access,
accessible,
Transit
connections
that
will
increase
ridership.
We
look
forward
to
the
key
goals,
metrics
and
co-created
process
laid
out
in
move
San
Jose
and
the
transit
first
policy
come
into
fruition.
Thank
you
for
for
your
consideration.
A
And
I
wanted
to
say
I'm
strongly
in
favor
of
adopting
the
policies
discussed
here.
This
is
anecdotal,
but
from
my
experience
writing
VTA
every
day.
Writership
is
clearly
Rising
since
the
pandemic
and
there's
a
strong
demand
for
more
Transit
making
Transit
more
attractive
will
fight
traffic,
reduce.
A
I
think
San
Jose
is
a
world-class
cities
and
it
deserves
high
quality
Transportation
options.
So
I
really
hope
that
the
city
will
adopt
the
move,
San
Jose
plan
and
especially
the
transit
first
policy.
L
A
A
K
K
This
is
a
really
important
step
for
the
city
to
take
to
show
not
only
a
commitment
to
Transit,
but
also
to
prioritizing
Transit
on
city
streets,
and
some
great
steps
have
already
been
taken,
including
TS,
the
tsp
pilot
on
Route
77
and
the
contract
that
was
approved
earlier
today,
and
hopefully,
more
steps
will
be
taken
in
the
future.
I
really
believe
that
Transit
can
Thrive
here
and
hope.
K
P
Good
afternoon,
mayor
city,
council,
members
and
staff,
the
dean
11
with
friends
of
caltrains
and
seamless
Bay
Area
here
in
support
of
the
5.1
and
5.2
items
to
align
the
city's
climate
and
mobility
and
equity
and
safety
and
economic
goals
and
with
the
transit
first
policy
to
really
move
forward.
Some
very
concrete
policies
to
be
able
to
have
public
transportation
be
a
convenient
way
for
people
to
travel,
one
of
the
challenges
with
transit
in
our
region
and
was
really
glad
to
hear
the
speaker
from
VTA
in
strong
support.
P
P
It's
really
great
to
see
the
fact
that
this
is
not
only
a
high
level
policy,
but
is
combined
with
a
tool
kit
that
can
guide
how
to
implement,
making
Transit
faster
and
more
reliable,
as
well
as
with
support
to
align
funding
and
the
pursuit
of
funding
to
deliver
these
improvements
to
Transit
safety
and
reliability
and
sustainable
transportation.
For
all.
Thank
you
very
much.
Q
Can
you
guys
hear
me?
Yes,
all
right,
wonderful,
good
afternoon,
San
Jose
City
Council
welcome,
move
San
Jose,
my
name
is
Lonnie
Flinders
I
am
the
part
of
the
live
experience,
Advisory
Board,
Silicon
Valley.
It
is
so
nice
to
finally
meet
you
guys.
I
understand
that
you
guys
have
some
improvements
for
the
vicinity
area
of
Winchester
Boulevard,
which
this
is
where
I
reside
in
partnership
with
our
interchange.
Q
Improvements
I
see
here
that
we
have
it
on
our
related
documents,
notice
the
preparations
as
I've
seen
the
past
two
years
since
I've
been
on
our
board
and
I,
see
here
that
we
have
three
different
fact
sheets
I
know.
Here
you
had
mentioned
the
fact
sheet
for
English,
Spanish
and
Vietnamese
and
I
also
see
on
there
that
we
also
have
a
Chinese
translation.
So
I
would
love
to
learn
more
about
that
as
we
continue
to
build
San
Jose
I
just
wanted
to
add
to
the
public
scoping
meeting.
Q
As
far
as
all
of
the
traffic
that
we've
had
in
our
neighborhood
here
off
of
Winchester
that
we're
covering
for
you
it's,
it
has
been
improved
a
whole
lot.
Q
We
don't
have
a
whole
lot
of
movement
and
we're
looking
forward
to
working
with
you
guys
in
progress.
So
thank
you
very
much
and
it
was
a
pleasure
to
meet
you
guys
today.
E
E
Currently,
serving
on
the
Milpitas
school
board,
but
here
in
a
personal
capacity,
I
am
a
supporter
of
this
initiative.
I
think
it's
great
that
San
Jose
is
moving
forward
to
really
put
Transit
first
I
believe
we
really
need
better
Transportation
options.
Now
more
than
ever,
especially
with
Rising
gas
prices,
hurting
a
lot
of
Working
Families
I,
actually
founded
a
South
Bay
yemby
in
2014
back,
then
it
was
known
as
San
Jose
yemby,
on
the
belief
that
we
really
need
to
work
together
regionally
to
create
better
transportation
systems.
E
There
is
a
better
than
95
chance.
I
will
be
on
the
Milpitas
City
Council
in
a
few
months
and
when
that
happens,
I'm
absolutely
ready
to
partner
with
San
Jose,
because
high
quality
Transportation
isn't
just
a
city
by
City
thing.
It's
going
to
be
a
regional
thing,
and
it's
going
to
take
all
the
cities
in
our
County
working
together
to
achieve
this
I
think
with
San
Jose
leading
the
way
other
cities
will
be
ready
to
follow
and
I'm
committed
to
making
sure
that
happens.
E
S
Greenbelt
Alliance
we're
very
supportive
of
move,
San,
Jose
and
Transit.
First,
both
items
are
absolutely
critical
for
equity,
for
accessibility
and
for
climate
resiliency.
It
is
imperative
that
our
cities
start
implementing
serious
efforts
to
reduce
our
dependence
on
oil
consumption
and
personal
car
usage
to
reduce
VMT
and
combat
greenhouse
gas
emissions.
We
do
that
by
increasing
Transit
frequency
and
reliability
and
moving
these
items
forward
will
go
a
long
way
to
making
those
goals
a
reality
and
we'll
also
build
on
and
complement
the
Fantastic
work
already
being
done
by
the
city
around
parking
standards.
S
A
A
B
I
appreciate
the
active
engagement
of
our
many
community
members
and
trying
to
push
us
ahead
toward
a
a
brighter
and
Greener
future
council
member
Foley.
Thanks
for
your
work
and
leading
the
efforts
on
the
transit
first
I
think
you're
up
first.
F
B
B
A
And
so
I
think
you
can
put
together
a
motion
that.
C
Would
cover
everything.
F
You
like
the
way
I
work
them
both
in
together.
So
no
it
plan
and
the
transfer's
plan
are
really
exciting.
The
things
that
have
been
taken
into
consideration,
the
nine
areas
of
focus,
are
really
important.
We
need
to
get
people
out
of
their
cars
and
making
Transit
easy
and
convenient
is
the
way
that
we're
going
to
do
it.
I
was
proud
to
host
a
community
workshop
with
the
Department
of
Transportation
staff,
specifically
targeting
the
address
and
addressing
concerns
of
members
of
the
disabilities
community
and
also
members
of
our
senior
community.
F
The
plan
this
plan,
it
pays
particular
attention
to
the
needs
of
those
who
have
limited
mobility
issues,
I'm
happy
to
have
authored
the
memo,
along
with
the
mayor
and
council
member
Perales
and
Davis,
which
affirms
our
commitment
to
the
goals
of
move,
San,
Jose
and
Transit.
First
meeting
our
City's
safety,
climate
and
Equity
Equity
goals
will
take
a
sustained
effort
from
the
city's
Administration
departments
and
political
leadership.
We
need
to
make
clear
that
the
priorities
in
moo
San
Jose
are
both
the
cities
and
communities
priorities.
F
So
we
hope
they
will
bring
the
VTA
vessels
to
help
us
out
over
there.
Often
at
the
city
it
seems,
there's
a
a
disconnect
between
planning
and
actual
implementation.
We
do
a
lot
of
work
coming
up
with
great
plans
and
policies,
and
then
we
don't
do
anything
with
them.
So
I
don't
want
this
to
be
like
a
strategic
plan
where
we
spend
so
much
time
on
it,
and
now
it
sits
on
a
counter
or
a
desk
somewhere
and
gathers
best.
F
We
really
need
to
implement
it
as
soon
as
possible
for
a
lot
of
reasons
articulated
in
the
plan
itself,
which
means
that
we
have
to
put
our
money
where
our
mouth
is
and
we
have
to
align
future
budget
and
grants
decisions
to
meet
the
goals
of
the
plan.
We
know
there
will
be
certain
trade
trade-offs
as
we
make
the
transition
from
automobile
dependents,
but
such
a
transition
is
necessary
to
meet
the
various
goals
outlined
in
our
general
plan,
our
climate,
smart
San,
Jose,
better
bike
plan
and
vision,
zero.
F
Those
are
all
great
plans
and
they're
all
not
just
sitting
on
the
shelf
they're
all
being
implemented,
but
we
need
to
work
with
work
together
with
all
of
them.
While
a
transportation
impact
fee
could
potentially
be
used
to
fund
important
Transportation
projects,
we
shouldn't
lose
sight
on
how
these
development
fees
continue
to
stack
up
on
top
of
each
other
and
result
in
develop
development
actually
not
occurring,
so
that
exacerbates
our
housing.
Housing
crisis
and
styming
dense
infill
development,
which
is
what
we
need
to
apply,
attract
and
make
truck
Transit.
F
First
valuable
and
successful
I'm
thankful
for
the
hard
work
and
Leadership
coming
from
our
department
of
transportation
for
creating
this
Vision,
especially
Ramses
madhu
and
Jessica
zank.
Of
course,
John
risto,
and
with
that
I
will
move
item.
5.1,
5.2
The
Memo,
which
I
co-authored
with
the
mayor
council,
member
Perales
and
Davis,
and
the
vice
Mayors
memo.
E
B
G
Thank
you
so
I'll
start
with
5.1
and
then
go
into
5.2,
so
I
and
I'll
be
supporting
motion.
Obviously
this
is
the
direction
we've
been
going
in
the
city.
I
do
have
some
questions,
though
so,
for
example,
district
7,
71.4
percent
of
residents
live
in
an
equity
priority
Community
as
compared
to
just
27
of
residents,
city-wide
and
and
and
so
looking
at.
G
Some
of
the
strategies
wanted
to
note
a
couple
of
things
so,
but
first
off
the
staff
report
does
take
a
comprehensive
look
at
Equity
indicators,
but
the
strategies
themselves
do
not
have
an
explicit
focus
on
equity
and,
for
example,
there's
no
mention
or
distinction
of
the
equity
priority
communities
in
the
district
specific
strategies,
despite
them
ostensibly
being
utilized
in
the
need,
needs
assessment,
in
other
words,
in
prioritizing
projects
and
Equity
priority
communities.
G
Can
you
discuss
that
and
and
I
also
have
some
comments
on
the
strategies
as
well?
Thank.
I
You,
council,
member
Ramses,
Department
of
Transportation
the
Cape,
the
key
performance
indicators
themselves,
which
Drive
where
we
would
which
pieces
of
which
strategies
we
would
like
to
see
implemented
in
each
district,
do
have
Equity
built
into
them.
I
So
there
are
certain
parts
of
the
kpis
that
are
specifically
measuring
things
like
our
folks
in
the
equity
priority,
communities
have
worse
or
better
access
than
other
folks
in
the
district
or
in
the
city,
as
well
as
a
specific
measurements
around
the
amount
of
folks's
income,
that's
being
consumed
by
housing
and
transportation
and
those
are
helping
us
decide
which
strategies
should
be
highlighted
in
each
district.
I
At
the
same
time,
these
are
recommendations
that
we
will
then
work
with
the
community
to
refine
into
a
final
implementation
as
we
get
there
and
Equity
is
not
only
a
measurement
but
a
process
right,
and
so
we
need
to
wait.
It's
not
done
it's.
It's
still
a
lot
of
work
to
be
done
as
we
kind
of
refine
it
and
get
those
final
pieces
together.
G
G
I
saw,
for
example,
that
one
of
the
things
that
we
want
is
we
want
more
people
in
low-income
communities
to
be
able
to
buy
electric
vehicles
great,
but
it's
not
until
delving
down
into
the
kpi
that
it
measures
the
number
of
public
electric
vehicle
charging
stations
in
a
census
tract
so
that
we
connect
those
more
explicitly
so
that
when
we
come
together
on
any
given
Tuesday
and
make
decisions,
we've
had
conversations
in
the
past
about
some
state
grants
that
we've
gotten,
for
example,
about
how
we
can
provide
incentives.
G
How
we
can
partner
with
landlords,
for
example,
particularly
a
very
large
apartment
buildings
and
arrow
units,
where
we
can
provide
incentives
to
install
those
charging
stations,
because
it's
not
enough
to
to
sell
those,
but
also
as
part
of
equity.
We
want
to
look
in
a
census
tract,
but
we
also
need
to
acknowledge
that
some
of
some
of
those
census
tracts
are
extremely
overcrowded
and
so
so,
just
kind
of
as
we,
in
other
words,
that
we
more
explicitly
connect
them
because
in
fact,
I
think
Roadshow
has
done
in
the
Mercury.
G
News
has
done
a
really
interesting,
a
little
series
on
electric
vehicles
and
I
know
it
wasn't
in
low-income
communities,
but
there
was
very
healthy
discussion
in
terms
of
how
do
you
charge
right?
Where
do
you?
Where
do
you
charge
and,
and
so
anyway,
I
think
it's
more
explicitly
connecting
those
it
is
helpful
and
and
I
do
want
to
actually
call
out
like
the
what
was
included,
which
is
the
identified
public-private
partnership
opportunities.
I.
G
Think
that's
really
important
and
in
very
very
dense
communities
like
the
east
side,
partnering
with
school
districts,
different
shopping,
centers
like
Little,
Saigon
or
La
Placita
I
know
that
there's
a
Tesla
chargers
at
Gold
shopping
center,
which
is
awesome
but
really
looking
at
those
places
where
there
is
Land
open
land
and
how
we
can
partner
with
those
organizations,
because
there
are
a
lot
of
issues
that
we
need
to
work
through,
because
when
you
have
15
to
20
people
per
household
you're,
we're
going
to
have
to
be
creative
I.
G
Also,
let's
see
I
I
wanted
to
also
bring
pull
something
out
and
really
amplify
and
highlight
something
that
has
come
up,
and
it's
mentioned
in
the
report
that
our
the
community
gave
us
feedback
because
I
read
that
was
in
there
and
it's.
G
It
is
mentioned
in
the
reports,
but
in
my
experience
in
community
meetings
and
seeing
it
come
up
over
and
over
again
one
of
the
things
people
want
most
is
better
lighting
and
I
know
it's
not
sexy
right,
but
it
has
consistently
come
up
over
and
over
and
over
again
in
different
populations,
and
there
are
a
lot
of
other
benefits
such
as
Public
Safety
benefits
to
that.
So
I
wanted
to
call
that
out.
G
Also
I
wanted
to
ask:
how
do
we
more
explicitly
connect
and
incorporate
Vision,
zero
and
Equity
into
these?
Can
you
discuss
that?
Please.
I
Yeah,
absolutely
thank
you.
Councilmember
again,
remember:
Transportation
I
did
want
to
say
strategy.
Number
four
is
lighting
improvements,
so
we
try
to
make
it
sexy,
I'm,
not
sure
if
it'll
work
but
we're
gonna,
do
it
anyways
sorry
I
lost
track.
There
was
the
the
question
zero
and.
G
I
More
explicitly
so
the
safety
measurements
KP
key
performance
indicators
that
are
driving
this
plan
are
directly
division,
zero
measurements,
and
we
did
that
because
there's
no
reason
for
us
to
recreate
safety
measurements
that
are
already
driving
our
our
Direction.
So
to
us,
that's
that's
integrated
both
at
the
key
performance
indicator
level,
but
also
as
the
different
teams
that
are
planning
and
implementing
projects.
These
teams
are
constantly
working
together
to
make
sure
that
what's
happening
in
Vision,
zero
is
also
overlapping,
with
what's
happening
in
the
particular
planning
processes.
I
You'll
see
this
a
lot
in
the
King
Road
design
process.
That's
about
to
kick
off
anywhere,
where
we're
looking
at
how
to
implement
the
directives
that
we
get
from
a
plan
like
this.
We're
making
sure
that
that's
meeting
same
goals,
so
those
are
there
again.
Equity
is
already
also
a
key
performance
indicator
set
and
also
you
know,
we've
really
tried
to
highlight
the
the
overall
statistics
that
that
relate
back
to
equity.
But
again,
Equity
is
not
only
a
number.
I
It's
a
process
right
and
we've
done
our
best
and
it's
never
good
enough,
but
it
was
our
best
to
incorporate
Community
Voices
in
the
development
of
the
plan,
and
we
will
continue
to
do
so
in
the
implementation
of
the
plan
going
forward.
G
Thank
you
and
then
I
had
another
question,
something
that
has
come
up.
It's
come
up
a
lot
during
covid
and
then
it's
come
up
personally
and
I
know
you
know.
Councilmember
Foley
has
been
leading
our
disability,
you
know
plan
and
the
advocacy
efforts.
G
But
how
are
we
incorporating
because
I
don't
see
explicitly
our
seniors
I
see
it
mentioned,
but
again,
on
the
specific,
so
incorporating
shuttles
drop-off
points.
We
have
a
baby
boomer
population
that
is
aging
and
you
know
often
when
they're
at
home.
You
know
they're
not
necessarily
out
at
the
community
at
my
community
meetings
anyway
I.
My
my
population
age
is
a
little
bit
lower
in
general.
But
how
are
we
incorporating
the
needs
of
seniors
and
and
those
that
need
to
move
them
from
point
A
to
point
B.
I
Thank
you,
council
member
I'll,
say
a
couple
things
and
then
I'll
say
that
we
need
to
do
more
one.
We
have
specifically
worked
with
in
police
office
to
do
workshops
with
the
community
to
bring
in
their
concerns
right
and
a
lot
of
those
concerns
were
focused
on
design
project
elements
right.
How
do
we
make
sure
that
it's
easy
to
walk
through
it?
I
It's
level,
it's
it's
supporting
their
needs
right,
but
then
there
are
some
project
elements,
particularly
microtransit,
which
is,
which
is
a
little
bit
like
public-private
partnership.
What
do
you
call
it?
I
Transit
services
that
can
get
folks
around
from
point
to
point
right,
which
is
really
the
the
service
needed
versus
needing
to
walk
a
longer
distances
to
get
into
there.
So
that's
a
particular
one
that
we
we
feel
is
focused
on
the
needs
of
seniors.
C
Yeah
a
little
note
in
my
ear
here,
which
I
would
love
to
have
an
opportunity
to
mention
to
to
your
point.
It's
part
of
the
developing
move,
San
Jose.
We
did
a
series
of
a
dozen
or
so
ride-alongs
so
a
whole
day
spending
you
know
literally
riding
along
with
a
a
diverse
group
of
of
San
Jose
residents,
including
some
disabled
residents,
and
really
trying
to
understand
what
were
their
specific.
You
know,
needs
and
and
and
requirements
out
of
the
transportation
system.
Q
I
would
only
add
I'm
sorry.
This
is
Jessica
just
that
I
think
the
the
persona's
work
was
really
interesting
and
we
need
to
carry
it
Forward
into
project
design
right
that
it's
that
experience
of
how
people
are
using
the
system
that
will
help
us
make
our
projects,
programs
and
policies
better
right.
Microtransit
can
work
great
for
seniors
unless
it's
implemented
in
a
way
that
feels
foreign
and
uncomfortable
right.
So
it's
it's.
The
devil's
going
to
be
in
the
details
appreciate
the
question.
That's.
G
An
excellent
point
and
kind
of
what
I
was
getting
at
I've
spent
a
lot
of
time
in
the
past
couple
of
months
at
hospitals
and
senior
facilities
and
have
seen
how
they're
designed
actually
heavily
for
drop-offs
and
for
drop-offs,
because
not
everything
is
a
formal
shuttle
program,
but
I
know
in
my
own
family,
some
of
the
seniors.
G
The
world
has
gotten
smaller
and
smaller
and
driving
in
a
place
like
downtown,
that's
full
of
bollards
and
all
that
it
too
much
and
I
think
just
again
as
we
start,
if,
as
we
continue
to
be
mindful
of
that,
and
what
that
looks
like
in
design.
But
it
is
a
big
issue
and
we,
just
as
we
venture
to
make
our
city
more
pedestrian
friendly.
We
just
we
also
at
the
same
time,
need
to
make
sure
that
it
continues
to
be
accessible
for
our
seniors
and
our
disabled
community.
G
You
know
the
elephant
in
the
room,
which
is
prioritizing
public
transit
on
our
streets
is
only
successful
if
public
transit
is
improved.
So
how?
What
is
our
strategy
as
a
city
for
doing
that,
especially
as
we
look
at
specific
corridors
as
the
transit
first
policy
and
move
forward
into
the
design
phase,
we're
not
VTA,
but
we
do
have
several
seats
on
VTA
and
how?
How
are
we
using
these
foundational
documents
to
move
ahead
on
that.
I
Great
question:
thank
you
again,
so
particularly
Transit
first
policy,
but
both
of
these
policies
are
going
to
be
the
cities
statement
and
also
the
set
of
actions
that
we
need
to
start
taking
to
be.
Are
part
of
that
equation.
I
There's
a
significant
portion
of
Transit
success
that
is
in
our
hands
lights,
signals
Road
space,
all
that
kind
of
stuff,
that's
where
these
Transit
Vehicles
operate,
and
if
we
can
recover
that
30
percent
speed
loss
that
we've
seen
on
routes
over
the
last
30
years.
We're
saving
money
for
VTA
we're
creating
a
faster,
more
reliable
system,
which
is
what
folks
are
asking
for
that
gives
VTA
then
more
people
to
work
with
more
Revenue
to
work
with
hopefully,
and
that
feedback
that
demand
feedback,
that
they
need
right.
I
They
need
more
people.
Writing
the
system
to
make
more
more
of
the
system
grow
that
it's
that
they
don't
have
a
magic
button
to
kind
of
create,
more
Transit.
Otherwise,
trust
me
they
would
everyone
who
works
there
wants
to
see
Transit
grow,
so
I
think
I
can
only
speak
from
our
side,
which
is
we
have
a
lot
to
do
inside
inside
the
transit
space?
To
improve
it-
and
this
is
our
these
policies-
are
our
statement
and
our
set
of
tools
to
do
so
now.
I
will
say
part
of
our
strategies.
I
Here
are
a
lot
of
advocacy
as
well
right,
so
we
are
spending
a
lot
of
time
advocating
for
funding
and
project
success
in
every
other,
different
way
that
we
can
at
regional
state
and
federal
levels,
spend
a
lot
of
time.
Lobbying
for
those
kinds
of
things
and,
lastly,
I'll
say
we're
also
actually
supporting
Transit
growth
itself,
I'm
the
project
principal
for
hopefully
a
project,
that's
going
to
connect
the
Airport
to
downtown
San
Jose.
So
there's
a
lot
of
different
ways
in
which
we're
we're
trying
to
attack
the
the
transit
area.
Yeah.
G
Thank
you.
You
just
made
the
argument
for
cities
having
seats
on
the
VTA
board.
I
I,
just
I
have
one
more
question.
G
When
we
look
at
in
the
section
of
the
memo
around
Grand
boulevards,
you
know
with
all
due
respect
to
these
other
Grand
boulevards
that
are
here.
What
jumped
out
at
me
is
that
Curtner
and
Tully
is
missing
as
a
Grand
Boulevard
of
San
Jose.
It
is
a
major
artery.
It
connects
residential
commercial
industrial.
It
connects
it
goes
across.
What
is
that
four
districts
right,
nine,
six,
seven
and
eight?
G
I
Yeah
they
thanks
council
member
again
new
DOT,
so
yeah
totally,
for
example,
is
a
main
street
and
a
City
Connector
Street,
that's
defined
in
the
general
plan.
Back
when
the
general
plan
was
adopted,
the
exact
decision
making
around
very
limited
set
of
General
Grand
boulevards
that
were
adopted
at
that
point
really
had
to
do
with.
I
Are
these
streets
streets
that
create
identity
for
the
area,
for
the
the
different
districts
that
they're
within
and
do
a
lot
of
connecting
between
different
neighborhoods
and
I
can
send
you
the
language
from
the
general
plan?
That
does
that.
That
being
said,
we
are
happy
to
change
it.
I
That's
not
this
this
plan
and
the
change
the
first
policy,
so
we
at
some
point
thought
we
might
come
forward
with
a
whole
new
kind
of
General
Transportation
diagram,
but
we
figured
let's
do
that
as
we're
doing
this
right.
The
the
way
that
Transit
first
is
going
to
be
implemented
is
every
project
that
looks
at
a
place
is
going
to
use
that
rubric.
I
That's
been
given
in
the
policy
to
make
better
decisions
about
how
transit's
gonna
work.
Now,
next
time
we
go
look
at
Tully
or
if
we
get
explicit
direction
to
go,
look
at
Tully,
then
we
can
go.
Do
that
and
we
can
talk
about
changing
the
the
designation.
I'll
also
add
that
under
the
transit
first
policy,
it's
not
only
Grand
boulevards
that
are
going
to
get
this
treatment.
I
It's
also
those
streets
where
we're
seeing
significant
Transit
activity
where
giving
its
special
treatment
could
improve
the
service
right
so
where
there
will
be
recommended
areas
like
that,
as.
G
Well,
thank
you,
and
so
with
that
I'd
like
to
make
a
friendly
Amendment
to
the
motion
to
include
Curtner
Tully.
As
for
review
as
a
Grand
Boulevard
may.
Q
G
E
Thank
you,
and
as
the
second
are
also
fine
with
that.
Thank
you
for
the
presentation
and
The
Briefing
last
week.
E
I
want
to
pick
up
on
the
a
question
or
two
ago
from
from
my
colleague
on
VTA
here
it.
You
know,
we
have
a
really
ambitious
goal
called
out
at
the
top
here
slide.
Four
I
think
it
is
where
we're
saying
we
want
to
be
at
60
percent
of
trips
taken
by
bike,
walk
Transit
and
shared
rides
by
2040.
E
and
I.
Don't
know
exactly
how
we
envision
those
breaking
down,
but
it
just
seems
to
me
that
this
plan
could
more
explicitly
call
out
what
we
think
we
need
from
VTA
to
get
there
and
and
I'm,
not
sure
if
that's
been
articulated
elsewhere,
we're
talking
about
advocating
for
funding
at
a
state
and
federal
level.
But
what
do
we
need
in
terms
of
or
what
do
we
think
we
need
in
terms
of
frequency,
of
service,
Mobility
options?
What
I
mean?
E
Is
there
a
corresponding
VTA
plan
that
fits
together
with
this
plan,
or
are
we
going
to
go?
Ask
them
to
put
one
of
those
together
with
our
input
or
how
do
we
I
mean
it
I
understand
that
we
have
some
areas
of
this
where
we
have
a
lot
of
control,
but
at
the
end
of
the
day,
I
think
we
should
be
pretty
explicit
about
what
we
need
from
our
Transit
Agency
to
get
anywhere
close
to
this
very
ambitious
goal.
I
Great,
thank
you,
council,
member
dot.
So
first
the
goal:
where
does
the
goal
come
from?
The
goal
was
set
in
2011
with
the
general
plan,
and
so
that's
the
goal
that
we,
as
staff
are,
are
legally
bound
to
work
towards.
I
I
I
So
what
do
we
need
from
our
Transit
Agency?
We
need
a
lot,
we
need
a
great
deal
and
they
know
that
we
have
models
that
that
we
used
to
decide
where
some
of
the
kpis
need
to
land
to
get
there.
So,
for
example,
particularly
the
Drive
less,
which
is
basically
a
mode
split
model,
that's
spread
across
the
city
in
such
a
way
that
it
says
Hey
in
District,
three,
where
you
get
all
where
all
the
transit
investment
is
happening.
I
You
guys
need
to
also
really
change
significantly
in
terms
of
your
drive
alone
percentage
right,
and
so
what
we've
done
is
that's
our
side
of
the
coin.
Of
course
right.
What
do
we
need
to
change
to
get
there
and
how
much
do
we
need
it
behind
that?
We
then
have
numbers
that
say
well.
That
means
we
need
X,
Y
and
Z
percentage
by
Bike
by
transit
and
and
pedestrianization
right.
So
we
have.
I
We
do
have
estimates
of
that
and
we
do
communicate
that
with
with
VTA
when,
for
example,
they
have
a
currently
on
hold,
but
they
have
a
high
capacity.
Transit
study
and
we
did
pass
all
that
information
to
them.
Saying
hey.
This
is
the
kind
of
network
we
need
to
meet
our
goals.
E
Okay,
so
when
we
get
that
breakdown
of
what
we
think
we
need
and
we
can
isolate,
potentially
a
variable
like
we
think
we
need
this-
many
people
roughly
taking
the
bus
along
this
Corridor,
for
example,
I'm
oversimplifying,
but
we
are
in
fact
communicating
to
VTA
hey
we're,
making
some
assumptions
in
our
model
about
the
behavior
change,
we're
trying
to
support
and
we
think
to
facilitate
it.
We
need
this
level
of
service.
I
mean.
Is
that
all
we?
We
are
actually
explicitly
communicating
that
basically.
I
So
I'll
say
I'll
dip
a
little
Technical
and
try
to
come
out
right
away,
which
is
we
use
the
same.
Transportation
demand
model
that
they
have.
Okay,
we
have
been
over
been
done,
a
better
job
of
of
isolating
certain
elements
that
are
that
we
have
better
information
on
them.
They
do
we
run
that
same
model.
Our
my
team
does
that
to
then
give
us
those
numbers.
I
Would
say
neither
I
would
say
they
look
at
it
and
say
all
right:
how
do
we
balance
what
we
have
resource
wise
and
what
we
need
to
do
across
the
entirety
of
the
service
area,
to
figure
out
what
they
can
do
next
well,.
E
Does
their
plan
between
now
and
2040
commit
to
service
levels
that
fit
with
our
model?
No
okay,
now
we're
getting
somewhere.
So
what
do
we
need
and
I
don't
I'm,
not
one
of
the
of
our
members
on
the
board,
but
I'm
just
curious.
Are
our
board
members
from
the
council
here
equipped
with
what
they
are
trying
to
push
for
to
get
us
to
those
service
levels
and
those
key
corridors.
Q
I
E
E
Understood
it
out,
yeah
sure,
no,
absolutely
absolutely
and
then
I
guess
relatedly,
but
just
setting
aside
VTA
because
there's
a
whole
basket
of
strategies
here.
One
of
the
things
I
also
was
kind
of
struck
by
in
the
plan,
is
that
it's
very
comprehensive.
There's
a
lot
in
here
and
I
think
we
know
from
experience
with
behavior
change
that
typically
there's
some
kind
of
Pareto
Principle,
where
80
percent
of
the
outcomes
are
driven
by
20
of
the
solutions.
E
Do
we
hypothesize
at
this
point,
maybe
based
on
the
experience
of
other
cities
that
are
maybe
farther
along
than
we
are?
If
there
are
those
that
have
made
real
progress
in
the
last
decade
or
two?
What
what
makes
up
that
Pareto
Principle?
What
might
be
in
that
20?
That's
likely
to
drive
the
biggest
mode
shift.
I
I
will
venture
I,
guess
and
based
on
the
information
and
data
we
have.
We
need
to
make
Transit
faster,
frequent
and
more
reliable
and
we
need
to
make
a
much
better
bike
system
that
actually
allows
for
children
to
get
around
the
city
by
bike
without
their
parents
spreading
that
they're
going
to
get
run
over
by
somebody
in
SUV
on
the
cell
phone
yeah,
and
so
it's
a
matter
of
creating
systems
that
will
actually
enable
people
to
run,
live
by
transit
or
live
without
a
car
right.
I
And
what
are
the
things
that
we
need
to
do
that?
Those
are
the
things
we
put
in
that
that
toolkit
for
Transit
right
and
that's
why
we
have
a
bike
plan
and
why
we're
doubling
down
again
on
the
bike
plan
with
this
process.
Okay,.
E
I
appreciate
it
I
think
just
given
that
we
don't
obviously
have
the
time
or
money.
We
just
talked
about
resource
constraints.
To
boil
the
ocean.
It
would
be
helpful
to
see
from
explicitly
Outlaw
identified
from
the
research.
What
do
we
think
are
going
to
be
the
biggest
drivers
of
of
the,
because
we
put
the
behavior
change
goal,
that's
extremely
ambitious
up
top
and
it
would.
It
would
be
helpful
to
to
just
know
I
mean
I.
Think
everything
in
the
plant
is
great
I.
E
Think
it's
all
important,
but
which
of
these
do
we
think
are
going
to
actually
produce
the
biggest
Behavior
change
would
would
be
helpful
to
understand
more
explicitly,
okay
and
then
just
one
final
question
I
just
in
terms
of
process,
so
we
have
metrics
I,
really
appreciate
that
you
explicitly
called
out
metrics,
or
at
least
draft
metrics
I-
think
that's
really
important
for
us
to
to
see
as
early
in
the
process
as
possible.
If
we
assuming
we
adopt
this
today,
when
do
you
start
putting
actual
numbers
to
to
those
targets.
I
So
so,
if
I
understand
your
question
correctly,
the
decision
support
system
kind
of
does
that
immediately
right
is
that
that
it's
already
there's
the
kpis.
Those
kpis
are
fed
by
Big
Data
sources
and
we're
right
now
going
to
RFP
to
get
the
the
data
sources
to
be
in
continuous
purchase
modes
of
it,
keep
coming
in
right,
and
that
then
allows
us
to
one
understand
how
we're
doing
across
the
city,
and
then
at
that
refined
level.
I
You
saw
on
the
maps
right
per
District,
but
then
it
also
allows
us
to
look
at
how
the
different
projects,
at
least
for
now,
how
they
are
estimated
to
do
and
in
our
next
iteration
of
the
platform,
we'll
then
be
able
to
have
a
look
back.
How
did
they
do
right?
Because
that
how
they
did
it
was
actually
much
more
important
in
a
way
over
time
than
that.
What
do
we
think
they're
going
to.
I
E
I
So
there's
a
request
in
the
the
blue
memo
by
the
by
the
mayor
and
Foley
and
crew
to
bring
back
a
report
to
tne
annually
to
discuss
that
and
as
I
kind
of
go
forward
for
the
next.
You.
B
Thank
you,
councilman
Cohen,.
R
Thank
you,
yeah
and
I
want
to
thank
you
for
these
reports.
There's
a
lot
to
digest
in
them
a
lot
of
good
insights
and
ideas,
I
kind
of
want
to
ask
first,
an
over
overall
question.
I
appreciate
the
council.
My
colleagues
memos
it.
R
It
strikes
me
that
this
is
a
strategic
plan
with
a
sort
of
a
holistic
approach
that
we're
not
necessarily
focused
on
any
one
item,
but
it
depends
on
specific
areas,
we're
looking
at
specific
needs
of
different
areas
and
also
city-wide
needs
how
we
coordinate
all
the
work
we
do
so
I
just
want
to
ask
you
well:
well,
certainly
you
know
the
priorities
that
they
put
make
are
important
to
me.
I
Yeah
I
mean
that
it's
set
up
to
do
the
letter
right,
but
at
the
same
time
it
can
certainly
accept
the
form
right
and
so
we've
set
up
the
system.
We
set
up
a
decision,
support
system
that
allows
us
to
look
at.
You
know
what
is
the
most
outstanding
lack
in
the
city
or
where
do
we
think?
The
next
best
thing
is,
is
really
needed
right,
and
so
that
can
help
Drive
priority,
but
priority
is
never
just
set
by
data.
It's
never
just
set
by
a
decision
making
system
right.
I
The
priority
is
should
be
supported
by
data
and
the
like
as
much
as
possible,
and
it
should
be
informed
by
the
political
and
Community
interests
that
are
that
are
at
play,
and
so
we're
happy
to
take
Direction
and
we
think
that's
useful
and
helps
us
understand
where
we're
going
to
get
Support
over
time
and
at
the
same
time
we
have
the
system.
That's
supposed
to
help
us,
you
know
say
hey.
I
R
I
mean
I'm
happy
to
support
the
motion,
but
I
also
don't
want
us
that
to
sort
of
detract
from
the
holistic
approach
that
this
plan
sort
of
sets
in
motion
and
so
I
just
you
know
what
I
guess.
I
want
some
assurance
that
that's
that
you're,
both
compatible
with
you
know
continuing
to
do
the
the
plan
as
needed
as
we
evaluate
moving
forward
versus
focusing
on
specific
elements
in
the
plan.
It.
R
R
Thank
you
I
appreciate
that
you
know
it's
interesting
as
I
read
through
this
and
some
of
like,
for
example,
in
District
Four.
One
of
the
big
areas
was,
you
know
20-minute
Community
right.
We
don't
have
that
in
that
in
our
district
and
I
know
that
it's
for
a
variety
of
reasons,
it's
partly
because
of
Transportation,
but
it's
also
partly
because
of
Economic
Development
and
the
availability
of
shopping
centers
in
the
right
places
and-
and
it's
also
because
housing
isn't
necessarily
in
the
right
place
to
support
the
economic
development
and
the
transportation.
R
R
R
Maybe
there's
no
question
there,
but
it's
kind
of
the
thoughts
having
about
about
this
as
I
think
about
it.
I'll.
I
Just
add
a
couple
notes:
the
original
version
of
this
plan
had
a
fourth
category,
which
was
land
use.
Okay,
but
we're
not
the
land
use
Department
right
right
and
at
the
same
time,
we
in
in
transportation
very
much
I
mean
we
work
with
our
our
folks,
our
colleagues
in
ppce,
on
a
daily
basis
to
think.
I
Through
these
problems
we
know
we
are
one
side
of
the
same
point
right
and
for
us
basically,
density
and
mixed
use
is
the
same
thing
as
adding
new
Transit
line,
sometimes
in
terms
of
the
value
of
the
transportation.
R
And
it's
important
for
us
as
a
city
to
be
have
in
the
interdepartmental
cooperation
on
these
things
and
I
know
we
do
have
that,
and
that's
that's
great.
You
know
it's
also
as
I
thinking
about
this
one
of
our
we've
talked.
We've
talked
recently
as
we
updated
the
North
San
Jose
plan
about
the
conflict
with
the
county
over.
R
What's
the
right
way
to
address
the
needs
that
they
think
they
have
as
we
build
out
north
San,
Jose
and-
and
it
occurs
to
me
that
this
plan
shows
that
we
have
a
new
way
of
thinking
that
they
haven't
yet
arrived
at.
And
of
course
they
don't
have
the
same
focus
on
the
micro
level
of
transportation
that
that
we
do
they
have
expressways
but
and
some
big,
bigger,
Transportation
thoughts,
but
they
don't
they're,
not
thinking
these
kind
of
in
this
kind
of
detail.
R
So
how
maybe
just
something
to
think
about
is-
and
we
should
have
some
meetings,
maybe
with
our
office,
about
how
we
frame
this
to
help
drive
that
conversation
in
a
productive
Direction,
because,
as
I
was
speaking
to
people
at
the
county,
recently
It
came,
it
was
I
think
their
concern,
ultimately,
is
we're,
saying
we're
not
going
to
do
what
we
were
saying
we're
going
to
do,
and
we
don't
have
another
plan
right.
It's
how
do
we
make
sure
they
understand?
R
So
anyway,
just
you
know
just
something
else:
I
think
we
need
as
we
it's
the
same
thing
with
VTA
right.
How
do
we
get
everybody
on
board
with
what
we're
doing
so
that
we
have
the
cooperation
of
crust
jurisdictions
and
then
I
guess
the
other
question
the
other
question
I
have
is
about.
You
know
the
difference
between
macro
the
macro
work,
which
is
you
know,
either
by
District
or
by
Citywide
versus
the
micro,
where
we
find
specific
needs
at
intersections
or
where
we
have
safety
issues.
I
So
this
plan
is
intended
to
give
the
micro
plans,
let's
call
them
our
area
plans
which
we're
about
to
kick
one
off
in
North
San
Jose.
We
just
got
the
grants
for
that
right.
It's
supposed
to
give
overall
directions,
saying
hey!
These
are
the
already
identified,
lackings
or
or
or
areas
of
need
and
and
areas
of
success
that
we
might
be
able
to
build
on
right.
So
this
doesn't
give
us
the
micro
level
this
intersection.
I
That's
not
what
this
plan
is
teaching
right,
but
when
we
go
start
those
smaller
area
plans,
we
now
already
have
a
decent
amount
of
work.
That
kind
of
already
gives
prioritization
based
on
account
both
the
council,
District
level
and
a
city-wide
level
perspective
and
gives
us.
You
know
well
thought
out
directions
to
start
off
with,
which
is
a
very
great
thing,
and
it
puts
it
in
that
continuous
cycle.
I
That
afterwards
of
saying
hey,
does
this
fit
within
the
larger
plan,
but
yeah
we're
still
going
to
have
to
do
area
plans
to
really
get
in
there
and
say
hey
this
intersection
needs
this
particular
treatment
and
sometimes
that's
done
through
area
plan.
Sometimes
that's
done
through
development
review.
Sometimes
it's
done
through
Corridor
analysis.
R
Yeah
okay
I
mean
because
I'm
thinking,
for
example,
if
I
have,
if
there's
an
intersection
where
we
know
we're
having
some
risk
where
people
feel
unsafe
crossing
the
street,
for
example,
and
we
then
say
to
your
department:
can
you
Analyze
This
intersection
these
tools?
Look
like
they're
the
right
tools,
then
we
say
well
which
of
these
different
types
of
treatments
would
help
us
with
that.
Is
that
that's
correct,
yeah?
B
Thank
you
again
thanks
to
to
each
of
you,
Ramses
Jessica,
John
Kate.
Thank
you
for
your
all,
your
work
and
your
support
and
things
also
for
your
service
to
our
state.
Back
in
the
governor
Brown
days,
I
I
I
know
this
is
an
enormous
amount
of
work
that
was
done.
B
I
I,
don't
doubt
that
the
work
that's
been
done
is
going
to
help
us
make
better
decisions
going
forward,
because
a
lot
of
data
was
collected
around
how
we
prioritize
around
Equity
mobility
and
all
the
very
important
objectives
that
we
have
and
and
I
think.
That
is
a
really
good
thing.
That's
come
out
of
this
plan,
so
I
want
to
make
sure
I,
don't
Overlook
that
anyway,
I
guess.
My
concern
is
as
I
think
about
this.
There
are
26
strategies
in
this
plan
and
I
guess
you
know.
If
someone
asked
me.
B
How
many
priorities
do
you
have
and
I
said
26
they'd
say
you
don't
have
any
priorities
and
I
know
it's
difficult
to
boil
them
all
down
to
the
top
two
or
three
when
you
got
a
city
the
size
of
ours,
with
the
complexity
of
ours
and
diversity
of
ours,
it's
really
hard,
but
it
really
goes
back
to
I.
Think
councilmember,
mahan's
question
about
the
2080
Pareto
Principle,
like
there's.
Certainly
a
lot
of
things
we
can
do
and
I
appreciate
your
answer.
Ramses.
It
was
a
good
one
which
is
hey.
B
Let's
make
buses
move
faster
and
let's
make
bike
Lanes
much
safer,
but
that
itself
incorporates
I,
don't
know
about
500
different
projects
right
and
if
our
strategy
is
we're
going
to
let
a
thousand
flowers
bloom,
that's
probably
not
the
thing.
That's
going
to
make
the
dramatic
difference
in
my
mode
share
and
I
guess
so.
The
question
I
have
is
I'll.
Give
I'll
make
the
question
and
I'll
give
an
example.
The
question
is:
were
there
really
big
moves
that
we
thought
about
that?
B
We
didn't
put
in
a
plan,
but
then
we
thought
you
know
if
we
did
this.
This
really
big
move
that
might
really
move
the
needle.
Let
me
just
throw
out
one
crazy
idea
since
I
was
talking
to
vice
mayor
Jones
about
it
just
a
second
ago,
but
the
county
expressways
are
a
mess
every
rush
hour.
We
all
agree
yeah,
we
could
build
more
Lanes
they'd
still
be
a
mess.
Nobody
moves
faster
than
30
miles
an
hour
anyway.
B
Why
don't
we
just
cut
a
deal
with
the
county
and
say
we're
going
to
chop
down
two
lanes
of
every
County
Expressway
and
turn
it
into
a
trail
with
dirt
and
grass,
and
let
people
run
and
bike
and
walk
and
let
everybody
else
go
30
miles
an
hour,
because
that's
all
they're
going
to
go
anyway.
I
I
mean
if
we
really
want
to
move
mode
share.
Why
aren't
we
thinking
bigger.
I
One
I
would
say
we
are
thinking
bigger
where
we
came
out
with.
You
know
whole
new
Transit
lines
that
we're
trying
to
build
like
that
yeah.
But
we
we
don't
really
control
that
yeah.
We
do
and
we're
we're
pitching
the
the
airport
connector
we
controlled
the
future
of
the
Stevens
Creek
line
because
we're
the
ones
who
are
actually
going
to
get
funding
and
getting
it
in
the
plan.
Bay
area-
and
we
play
a
huge
role
in
getting
these
things
to
be
successful.
B
I
Yeah,
we
hope
so
too.
This
plan
isn't
designed
to
be
the
one
that
highlights
the
particular
project.
That's
going
to
be
yeah
the
game
changer.
What
it
does
is.
It
helps
us
understand
when
we're
making
those
choices
as
to
what's
next,
what
we
really
need
to
consider
what.
I
What
we
do
when
we
get
into
that
situation,
is
we
get
a
large
amount
of
ideas
to
go
into
them
now?
How
do
you
prioritize
those
outside
of
you
know
folks
kind
of
thinking,
they're
great.
This
is
what
this
is.
What
this
plan
does
to
us.
It
helps
us
really
say:
hey
look
from
a
city-wide
perspective
or
a
district
perspective
based
on
what
is
allowed
under
this
or
that
Grant.
We
now
can
really
say
hey.
I
These
are
the
ones
that
stand
out
and
meet
the
most
goals
or
meet
the
particular
goals
that
we're
really
being
asked
to
focus
on
right
now.
There's
this
the
difference
between
this
plan
and
what
you're
asking
for
you're
asking
for
a
set
of
projects.
Like
a
downtown
Transportation
plan
will
have
or
West
San
Jose
plan,
that's
kind.
B
Q
Yeah
and
I
think
you
know
if,
if
the
data
and
the
modeling
the
very
robust
data
and
modeling
that
was
done
for
this
plan,
you
know
it.
It
searched
it
scoured
for
Best
Practices
right.
Q
Not
just
the
country
but
the
world
and
it
tried
to
find
those,
and
if
we
had
those,
you
know
three
things
that
made
an
80
difference.
That
would
be
the
absolute
headline
as
well
and
so
I
think
I.
You
know
I'm
not
a
fan
of
bad
news,
and
you
know
the
180
square.
Mile
million
people
City
doesn't
have
a
small
set
of
things
that
work
to
dramatically
change
it.
Q
It
does
in
specific
areas,
and
you
will
see
that
with
the
big
moves
that
have
been
vetted
with
the
community
coming
forward
in
the
downtown
Transportation
plan,
Etc,
that
at
an
area
level,
can
make
some
of
those
dramatic
changes
at
180
square
mile
million
City
when
we
modeled
it
and
looked
at
it.
The
Silver
Bullets
did
not
emerge
and
I.
You
know.
K
F
Q
They
didn't
but
I
think
that
is
the
reality
of
the
city
that
built
out
over
time
in
the
way
that
ours
has
and
how
we
would
retrofit
it.
B
B
Let
me
just
try
to
draw
to
a
point
as
far
as
at
least
the
way
I
my
perspective
on
it
of
these
26
strategies,
some
of
them
involved,
seven
of
them
involved
trend.
Now,
I
agree
with
you
absolutely
Francis
that
there
are
things
that
we
can
do
as
a
city
that
can
improve
Transit
experience
and
hopefully
boost
ridership
and
hopefully
make
Transit
move
faster,
but
overwhelmingly
I
think
we'd
recognize
that
the
300
million
dollar
bus
budgeting
Arts
we
do
have
five
seats
on
the
board.
B
I
would
love
to
see
our
city
more
engaged
and
I
know.
We've
had
this
conversation
Jessica
that
we
would
be
more
engaged
and
decision
making
the
board
level
and
as
a
city
and
really
really
pushing
together
in
different
ways,
as
well
as
on
MTC
I.
Think
that
would
be
a
great
thing,
but
for
the
most
part,
what
I
see
is
that
we
are
hiring
trusted,
Community
Partners,
to
go
out.
There
ask
people
a
lot
of
questions
about
their
Transit
experience.
B
Unsurprisingly,
our
residents
are
saying
we
want
Transit,
that's
faster,
that's
more
convenient
with
more
routes
and
safer
and
and
we
actually
can't
really
deliver
for
the
most
part
on
those
things
we
can
help
a
little
around
the
edges.
We
can
do
things
to
improve
the
environment,
so
the
question
and
I
I
know
that
you
guys
are
mindful
of
the
fact
that
that
governments
can
be
involved
in
one
of
two
kinds
of
Outreach
right.
It
can
be,
it
can
be
authentic
or
it
can
be
performative
right.
B
B
So
it's
not
as
though
we're
in
an
environment
we're
going
out
there
getting
answers
to
questions
about.
What
do
you
want
in
transit
and
the
answer
is
we
want
more
Transit
service?
It's
something
we
can
readily
deliver
and
I'm
concerned
that
we
are
creating
expectations,
particularly
when
we're
going
to
vulnerable
communities
that
are
very
Transit
dependent
that
we're
creating
expectations.
We
can't
meet
and
it
looks
a
lot
less
authentic
and
we're
creating
plans
and
strategies
that
we
don't
really
control.
L
Yet
mayor
this
is
John,
Resto
and
and
you're
you're
right
on
on.
So
many
of
these
things
and
you've
been
seeing
this
at
MTC
and
PTA
and
how
the
struggle
is
for
all
these
Transit
agencies
to
deliver
on
that.
So
we
totally
get
it
especially
now,
but
it
still
is.
This
is
a
plan
looking
forward
to
see
what
Transit
can
do
we're
going
to
need
to
be
part
of
that
I.
L
It
was
a
very,
very
well
done
plan
and
then
the
pandemic
hit
yeah,
flew
it
onto
the
water
right
yeah,
so
they've
heard
and
they've
been
with
us
all
the
way
along
here.
So
it's
not
something
that
we're
going
to
be
able
to
solve
that
Transit
answer
immediately,
but
I
think
what
what
we're
missing
in
here
is
all
the
other
elements
that
we
have
been
putting
into
this
plan.
L
The
small
scale
stuff
that
we
do
have
a
lot
of
control
over
and
Rams
is
hit
on
it
early
on
and
both
in
the
move,
San
Jose
and
then
in
the
transit
first,
how
much
we
do
have
capability
to
make
that
transit
system
work
much
better
with
things
we
do,
control
right,
so
I,
don't
think
that's
going
to
answer
your
question.
What's
the
big
game
changer,
what
it
is
that
we
can
prioritize,
can
we
put?
L
Are
we
putting
things
out
there
that
the
community
is
going
to
be
disappointed
in
we're
pretty
clear
what
we
can
and
can't
do
with
this?
This
in
terms
of
what
the
transit
system
looks
like,
we
know
what
we
can
impact
and
affect
and
what
we
are
where
we
are
really
stretching
like
the
airport,
connector
and
a
lot
of
other
things
that
we
want
to
do.
Vta
is
with
us
on
all
this
and
they've
heard
the
same.
L
I,
don't
think
that
they
would
do
that,
but
I
would
they
certainly
would
support
this,
so
that
would
be
certainly
something
and
and
again,
I
think
the
person
from
Milpitas.
Actually,
if,
if
it
is
true
that
other
cities
want
to
consider
this
yeah
I
think
BJ
would
love
to
see
other
cities
adopt
a
proactive,
Progressive
right
plan
for
how
the
city
can
support
and
make
Transit
work
better.
Yes,
there's
game
changers
out
there
that
that
we
need
to
be
maybe
more
aggressive
on,
but
I
think
this
is
actually
more
realistic.
B
Let
me
just
suggest
I
mean:
we've
got
several
board
members
who
are
listening
in
right
now,
I
I
or
a
president
I
should
say
right
now,
I
mean
let's
talk
offline
about
how
we
get
the
VTA
to
embrace
the
specific
elements
of
this
plan
that
we
care
about.
So
at
least
that
way
we
can
say
authentically
to
our
community.
B
Look
all
the
folks
who
control
the
levers
are
on
board,
and
if
we
need
to
insert
some
some
disclaimers,
then
we
ought
to
do
so
in
the
plan.
Yeah.
L
We
we'd
be
more
than
happy
to
and
I.
You
know
and
I
think
we're
proud
that
this
Council
and
mayor
allows
us
to
push
the
envelope
on
all
of
these
kind
of
things
and
we'd
love
to
be
able.
We
did
it
on
a
lot
of
we.
Do
it
a
lot
of
things
and
we'd
be
we'd
love
to
see
this
replicated
in
many
other
cities,
so
we're
with
you
I'm
trying
to.
I
I
just
add
one
thing:
I
think
that's
important,
which
is
just
VTA
leadership.
Deborah
degang
was
on
the
steering
committee
for
this
plan
and
members
of
their
staff
were
on
our
project
level
staff
management.
So
they
were
there
week
on
week,
listening
to
us
trying
to
bring
us
in
giving
out
their
feedback
on
it.
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that's
out
there.
Yeah.
B
And
I
appreciate
that
I
guess,
as
you
know,
Ramses,
though
there's
a
big
distinction
when
the
funding
decisions
are
made
about
which
routes
actually
get
serviced
and
don't
you
know
they,
they
can
say
it
wasn't
us
that's.
You
know
that
was
the
city
making
promises
anyway.
Thank
you
all
right,
I
appreciate
the
good
discussion.
Councilmember
Cohen.
B
B
Hi:
okay,
as
discussed
previously
thanks,
everybody
mayor
this.
B
Okay,
though,
that's
recorded,
thank
you
councilmember
all
right,
as
was
previously
discussed
in
orders
of
the
day,
8.1
and
8.2
remain
I'll.
Entertain
a
motion
defer
those
for
a
week.
So
then
we
can
start
in
on
all
the
land,
use
and
8.3
items.
So.
G
C
You're
going
to
the
evening
session
and
Tony,
you
had
indicated
last
week
that,
if
there's
an
evening
session,
we
do
we
do
for
the
evening
session.
Is
that
correct?
That's.
