A
Good
afternoon,
everyone
and
welcome
back
we'll
call
the
meeting
to
order
for
the
afternoon
of
August
6
2019.
Before
we
begin
with
the
invocation,
I
was
hoping
we
might
have
a
moment
of
silence.
Obviously,
there's
been
a
tremendous
tragedy
in
our
community
here
in
city
San
Jose,
we
lost
two
young
children,
Kayla
Salazar,
13
years
old
and
Steven
Romero
six
years
old
and,
of
course,
another
community
lost
Trevor
Irby
as
well,
and
I
wanted
to
take
a
moment
of
silence
for
the
victims
as
well
as
for
their
families.
A
A
B
You
this
last
weekend,
we
were
proud
to
have
the
75th
annual
Santa
Clara
County
Fair,
which
has
been
held
every
year
at
the
Santa
Clara
County
Fairgrounds.
The
fair
provides
an
opportunity
for
families
from
all
over
the
county
to
gather
together
in
the
spirit
of
community,
and
it
isn't
just
the
fair,
the
incredibly
diverse
array
of
events
that
are
held
at
our
fairgrounds
throughout
the
year
and
the
organizations
that
participate
are
an
enduring
testament
to
the
diversity
of
our
city
and
of
our
County.
B
From
this
diversity.
We
draw
our
strength
and
our
resolve
to
come
together,
as
a
community
is
far
far
more
powerful
and
enduring
than
those
who
would
seek
to
divide
us.
We
are
a
community
that
refuses
to
live
in
fear
and
we
will
continue
to
gather
to
celebrate
and
to
be
united
in
this
place.
We
call
home
and
we
are
not
a
community
that
gives
in
to
despair
when
tragedy
strikes,
but
rather
a
community
that
believes,
in
hope
and
in
doing
the
hard
work
necessary
to
build
a
better
world
for
our
families
and
our
children.
B
A
C
The
fairgrounds
have
been
a
staple
of
the
Santa
Clara
County
scene
since
the
initial
purchase
of
97
acres
for
thirty-five
thousand
dollars
in
1940
a
purchase
that
was
initiated
by
the
joint
partnership
of
this
of
the
San
Jose
Chamber
of
Commerce
on
the
County
of
Santa
Clara.
And
despite
the
facts
that
the
fairgrounds
has
experienced
its
share
of
its
ups
and
downs.
C
Today,
the
vibrant
fairgrounds,
comprised
of
over
150
acres,
is
host
to
over
a
hundred
and
seventy
events
and
utilized
over
331
days
of
the
year,
including
the
75th
annual
fair
that
was
held
this
past
weekend
with
expanded
highlights
of
the
new
mural
walls
on
our
Gateway
Hall
building
and
the
concert
green
lawn
area
that
hosted
this
year's
international
village.
We
hosted
it.
We
host
a
variety
of
events
throughout
the
year,
including
circus,
always
six
weeks
of
performances,
Jurassic
quest
a
dinosaur,
an
education
experience
and
Amazon's
all
employee
holiday
party.
C
Cultural
celebrations
include
the
Latino
Cinco
de
Mayo
and
the
Aviles
worthless
the
Vietnamese
Tet
festival
and
the
indo-american
Swadesh
celebration
and
Diwali
festival
to
name
a
few.
The
bubble
runs,
the
black
light
runs
all
include
family
fun
for
all
ages
to
participate
in,
and
our
plaza
arena
continues
to
host
a
number
of
concerts
throughout
the
year
and
from
big
to
smaller
events.
We
host
the
number
of
Guinean
eras
and
weddings,
Girl,
Scout
recruitment,
fair
and
youth
league
football
and
cheerleading
squad
activities.
C
Yes,
we're
busy
busy
busy
hosting
a
number
of
great
events
for
all
to
participate
in
as
we
accommodate
all
the
uses
and
activities
as
part
of
our
mission,
we
follow
the
guiding
principles
of
our
Board
of
Supervisors
in
maintaining
the
fairgrounds
for
education
at
entertainment,
amusement
cultural
and
community
activities
for
all
I
invite
all
of
you
to
come
visit
me
at
the
Santa
Clara
County
Fairgrounds,
in
order
to
partake
in
one

our
events
throughout
the
year.
Thank

D
The
FFA
Creed
by
II
am
Tiffany
I
believe
in
the
future
of
Agriculture,
with
a
faith
born
not
of
words
but
of
Deeds
achievements
won
by
past
and
present
generations
of
agriculturalists
in
the
promise
of
better
days
through
better
ways,
even
as
the
better
things
we
now
enjoy
have
come
to
us
from
the
struggles
of
former
years.
Thank
you.
A
D
Good
afternoon,
it
is
my
pleasure
today
to
proclaim
August
as
breastfeeding
month
in
the
city
of
San
Jose.
Breast
milk
contains
antibodies
that
protects
infants
from
bacteria
and
viruses.
Research
has
found
that
mothers
and
their
children
tend
to
have
fewer
health
problems
because
of
breastfeeding.
However,
misinformation,
social
pressures
and
social
criticism
can
cause
difficulties
for
mothers
who
breastfeed
and
can
be
detrimental
to
the
health,
their
health
and
the
health
of
their
child.
D
La
Leche
League
is
a
nonprofit
organization
dedicated
to
providing
support,
encouragement,
information
and
education
to
families
who
want
to
breastfeed
I,
have
paired
up
this
one
month
with
La
Leche
League
to
promote
health
and
wellness
amongst
mothers
who
want
to
breastfeed
Genet
Don
bro
has
been
a
leader
in
La,
Leche
League,
since
1988
she
has
five
children
and
three
grandchildren.
She
facilitates
meeting
so
that
breastfeeding
parents
can
share
their
experiences
and
help
each
other
to
be
confident
parents.
I
invite
janet
to
accept
the
proclamation
and
say
a
few
words.

on
tippy-toes
on
May
4th
2019
Comcast
held
a
Comcast
cares
day
event
at
Sylvan
Dale
middle
school.
This
was
an
opportunity
for
the
community
to
partner
with
the
Comcast
staff
and
students
to
beautify
the
campus,
and
today
we
commend
Comcast
for
their
commitment
to
improving
our
community
and
serving
as
a
model
for
corporate
civic
responsibility
and
engagement.
Since
Comcast
began,
holding
Comcast
cares
days
in
2001.
Over
1
million
volunteers
have
given
over
6
million
volunteer
hours
in
23
countries.
B
This
year
there
were
88
events
in
California
totaling
over
5700
volunteers,
but
for
the
Silverdale
event
and
prep
day
there
were
565
volunteers
who
logged
a
total
of
2,500
hours.
Thanks
to
the
leadership
we
have
of
Stephanie
janae,
Richmond,
Jeff,
Glenda
and
Lenny's,
and
all
the
Comcast
volunteers,
their
work
included,
building
out
the
school's
Wellness
Center,
which,
by
the
way
it
used
to
be
the
former
detention
center.
Now
it's
a
Wellness,
Center
cleaning,
weeding,
painting
and
assembling
dental
and
hygiene
kits
that
our
students
and
our
community
need.
So
thank
you.
B
K
A
L
A
H
H
Warren
was
positive,
optimistic
and
an
energetic
man
who
was
well
respected,
admired
by
all
that
knew
him.
Warren
is
survived
by
his
wife,
two
children
and
two
grandchildren
I'd
like
to
acknowledge
those
of
his
family
members
who
are
here
today
with
us,
his
wife,
Beverly
sons,
Patrick
and
Dave,
and
his
daughter-in-law
Kristen
I
had
the
honor
to
get
to
know.
Warren,
Gannon
and
I
always
admired
his
spirit
and
enthusiasm.
H
A
H
First
I
want
to
thank
mayor
lick,
hard
Oh
vice
mayor
chappie
Jones,
who
has
been
a
great
supporter
and
members
of
the
City
Council
for
this
honor
to
a
man
who
was
most
deserving
of
recognition
for
the
work
that
he
did
for
the
community
welfare
Warren
Gannon
devoted
hundreds
of
hours
in
his
efforts
to
make
our
lives
easier
and
happier.
I
know
he
smiles
down
on
us
this
day
and
I
know
there
will
be
an
even
bigger
smile
on
that
day
that
we
are
compensated
adequately
for
the
last
call
of
our
lives.
H
When
we
make
our
move,
may
we
all
be
smiling
at
the
dedication
of
the
City
Council
for
the
fairness
of
the
relocation?
That
was
really
not
what
we
expected
would
happen
in
our
final
years.
But
here
we
are.
It
has
been
a
long
stressful
period
of
years,
but
Warren
was
the
person
at
the
top
of
the
list.
Who
persevered
was
positive,
encouraging
and
a
real
source
of
helping
us
to
remember
what
really
matters.
L
Mayor
and
I'm
gonna
say
that
I
had
the
pleasure
of
knowing
Warren
for
for
my
six
and
a
half
years
here
at
City
Hall,
he
was
I,
he
was
a
member
of
the
senior
Commission
and
I
was
I've,
been
the
senior
Commission
liaison
for
many
years,
and
I
could
say
that
he
worked
with
a
lot
of
zeal
and
compassion
and
for
a
man
of
his
tenure,
I
mean
I.
I
thought
he
acted
and
worked
as
hard
as
a
person.
L
My
age
have
to
say
and-
and
he
did
some
great
work
he
was
a
great
representative
for
a
senior
Commission.
He
was
steadfast
advocate
for
a
portable
housing
and
transportation
for
our
seniors.
He
was
one
of
the
founders
of
the
San
Jose
for
seniors
senior,
friendly,
City
and
I
could
say,
as
as
a
council
member
it
wasn't.
He
was
a
you
know
a
lot
of
times.
We
get
conflict
coming
in
the
door
and
you
know
people
are
at
odds
with
each
other,
and
sometimes
you
you
hate
having
these
meetings,
but
with
with
Warren.
L
He
seemed
to
put
everyone
at
ease
and
I
think
that
he
did
a
great
job
of
talking
about
what
what
actually
mattered
and
try
to
bring
people
to
compromise
and
I
think
that
he
I
will
always
remember
him.
He
was
one
of
the
community's
great
leaders
and
it
was
a
pleasure
and
an
honor
getting
to
work
with
him
and
know
him.
A
Thank
you
well,
I
want
to
thank
all
the
family
members
for
being
here
and
for
the
many
community
members
it's
a
real
reflection
on
Warren's
impact
on
so
many
people
that
we've
had
so
many
folks
familiar
faces
actually
some
from
far
away
I
know.
Second
Ruth
great
house
came
quite
a
long
way
away
and
reminded
me
that
they're
not
here
for
me
they're
here
for
warrant,
it's
a
it's
for
a
good
reason,
and
you
know
what
I
remember:
is
this
sort
of
the
shining
characteristic
of
Warren
and
so
wonderful
about
him?
A
It
just
is
enormous
generosity,
obviously
incredibly
generous
with
this
time,
generous
with
his
energy
and
a
spirit
that
he
committed
to
the
community
into
the
city,
but
always
with
such
an
uplifting
spirit
and
always
even
in
the
moments
of
most
intense
advocacy,
and
he
like
everyone
could
be
fervent.
It
was
always
with
a
smile,
and
that
was
always
an
act
of
generosity
on
his
part,
to
make
sure
that
everyone
around
him
knew
that
hey
we're
all
in
this
for
the
right
reasons.
So
I
am
I'm
grateful
for
all
the
Warner's
unfasten.
A
A
A
L
K
Meeting
prior
to
our
season,
finale
I,
left,
council
and
I
got
in
a
plane.
I
took
a
red-eye
to
Boston
I
spent
a
week
at
in
Boston
or
Cambridge,
rather
at
Harvard
Business
School,
with
about
nine
other
people
from
San
Jose,
the
knight
Foundation
funded
a
trip
to
participate
in
Harvard's
young
American
leaders
program
I
spent
a
week
there
with
ten
people
from
I,
believe
13
other
cities
across
America,
and
we
talked
about
leadership
and
us
competitiveness
and
how
cities
are
at
the
forefront
of
that.
K
It
wasn't
really
a
thing
for
elected
officials
per
se,
but
it
was
about
cities
and
our
roles,
and
you
know
keeping
America
at
the
forefront
of
you
know
our
competitiveness,
so
I
learned
a
lot
I
thank
the
knight
foundation.
I
made
some
good
relationships
across
the
country
and
also
with
with
individuals
from
the
public
and
private
sector
in
San,
Jose
I
look
forward
to
applying
what
I
learned
you
know
moving
forward.
It
really
got
me
to
rethink
this
whole
council
gig.
So
thanks
and
I
moved
to
approve
2.5.
A
A
I
spoke
on
a
panel
with
mayor
Garcetti
on
homelessness,
and
the
challenges
were
all
tackling
together
and
I
also
spoke
on
a
panel
on
climate
change.
In
some
of
our
efforts,
particularly
noteworthy
effort.
I
is
really
being
undertaken
by
a
small
town
in
coastal
Florida
is
engaging
in
a
really
fascinating
pilot,
with
a
group
of
scientists
to
see
how
they
can
capture
the
energy
from
the
currents
in
the
Atlantic,
Ocean
and
they've
got
several
universities
engaged
in
this.
It
could
be
a
really
dramatic
opportunity
for
renewable
energy
generation,
so
we'll
keep
close
watch
on
that.
A
We
also
announced
a
partnership
with
MasterCard,
which
is
going
to
enable
us
to
have
a
payments
card
that
we'll
be
able
to
use
for
disaster
relief,
including
fires,
for
example,
in
apartment
buildings.
When
people
need
ready
access
to
cash,
it's
it's
helpful
with
this
MasterCard
device.
We
can
actually
ensure
that
the
dollars
can
only
be
used,
for
particular
things
like
necessities.
Food
of
that
nature,
as
well
as
for
homeless,
and
we
think,
there's
a
real
opportunity
with
this
partnership.
A
They
announced
that
in
front
of
the
US
Conference
and
as
you
can
imagine,
plenty
of
other
mayors
were
also
interested
but
I'm
grateful
to
our
innovation
team
and
everybody
in
the
same
Andrus
office
working
hard
to
play
some
position
for
that
opportunity
and
to
incent
ocean
I.
Think
really
connected
us
originally
to
miguel
camino
over
at
mastercard
and
then
also
partnership
with
ATT
was
also
announced
to
the
US
mayor's
conference.
A
This
is
the
one
of
course
that
was
enabling
us
to
have
really
be
the
the
pilot
city,
the
lead
city,
on
this
new
bandwidth
that
will
enable
for
us
to
have
communications
again
in
instances
of
national
disasters,
natural
disasters
or
other
kinds
of
calamities
with
a
dedicated
cell
bandwidth
that
will
be
for
public
safety
personnel
primarily,
and
we
look
forward
to
building
this
out.
I
know
the
council's
already
approved
several
measures
with
regard
to
that
initiative.
A
A
lot
of
folks
in
this
building
are
doing
to
build
these
really
important
partnerships
with
those
who
can
help
us
do
more
with
our
very
scarce
resources,
and
then
I
also
had
an
occasion
to
speak
at
the
Aspen
ideas
festival
also
on
climate
change,
related
issues
on
a
panel
with
leadership
in
New,
York
and
and
we've
got
a
couple
of
ideas
that
we're
bringing
back
that
we'll
be
talking
about
in
a
future
weeks
on
that
issue.
Okay,
councilman
Ross.
M
International
is
planning
a
conference
there
in
February
between
El,
Paso
and
Juarez,
and
certainly
tides
have
changed
in
regards
to
everything
down
in
El,
Paso
and
but
the
conference
itself
was
actually
going
to
be
between
the
sort
of
the
the
relationships
between
both
Mexico
and
the
US.
But
using
that
that
border,
the
two
border,
towns
so
I
know
it's
going
to
be
already,
was
going
to
be
a
great
conference
but
I
think
now
just
an
even
more
interesting
dynamic
with
what's
going
on
all
around
our
country.
G
Thank
you,
I
want
to
commend
you
councilor
Morales,
for
your
leadership
in
Sister
Cities,
International
I
was
able
to
experience
the
Japan
trip
last
year
and
I
think
in
another
experience
anyone
I
had
a,
and
there
is
such
a
need
for
all
of
our
countries
to
to
remain
close.
Despite
the
distance,
so
I
really
appreciate.
I
know
our
times
are
already
at
a
limit
with
all
the
things
that
we
have
to
do
so.
G
Just
to
hear
what
was
going
on,
but
I
think
it's
something
that
probably
I
should
include
you
in
and
in
this
conversation,
because
I
think
it's
just
I
revel
in
some
of
this
technology
that
other
countries
are
breaking
ground
in
and
and
we
should
be
able
to
also
take
advantage
and
and
grow
those
relationships
anyway.
So
I
wanted
to
make
sure
I
mentioned
that
and
I'll
connect
with
you,
offline,
Thank,
You.
A
N
That
is,
the
problem
is
our
traveling.
We
need
to
stop
traveling,
we
have
a
climate
emergency
and
what
that
means,
but
the
IPCC
says
it
means
is
the
science.
The
science
is
the
truth.
We
have
to
stop
talking
about
economics,
politics
and
religion,
and
also
the
other
thing.
I
would
like
you
to
do
and
any
time
that
I
speak.
N
I
would
really
like
you
to
comment
back
that
that's
the
way
they
do
it
at
the
at
our
school
board
meetings:
okay,
school
board
meetings:
you
come
up,
they
don't
you
know
you,
they
say
you
say
you
can't
comment.
We
know
you
can't
comment
at
this
point
but
they'll
say
mrs.
Woodmansee,
we'll
get
back
to
you
on
that
issue.
We'll
get
back
to
you
and
that's
the
way
I'd
like
the
City
Council
to
run
because
I
am
a
democracy,
teacher,
okay,
I
am
a
teacher
and
so
you're
not
doing
a
good
job
in
your
democracy.
N
You've
been
very,
very
bad
in
the
democracy
and
that's
why
we
are
in
the
jaws
of
destruction.
Greta
Sundberg
says
our
politicians
have
failed
us
and
you
are
the
politicians.
Okay,
so
I'm
telling
you
I'm
giving
you
a
hint
get
back
to
me
when
I
bring
up
an
issue,
you
say
I
will
get
back
to
you
and
that's
what
I
demand
of
our
of
our
Council.
N
However,
getting
back
to
travel
I
say
there
was
one
travel
that
was
in
your
thing
that
you're
going
to
go
about
communication
and
you're
gonna
learn,
but
you
have
failed
again
about
communications.
I
have
been
calling
City
Hall
about
that
horrific
mural
that
you
put
up
on
the
building
at
Whole
Foods,
because
I
was
complaining
about
the
architectural
design.
You
never
called
me
back.
You
don't
call
me
back.
Nobody
calls
me
back
cuz,
you're,
all
in
the
pockets
of
corporations
and
that's
where
the
killer,
their
most
recent
killer.
N
That
was,
over
whatever
their
most
one
of
those
killers
in
his
manifesto,
said
its
corporate
control
of
our
government,
okay,
corporate
control
of
our
government.
That
was
the
problem.
He
was
a
very
stressed
man,
okay,
and
that
was
one
of
the
stresses
and
climate
change
with
another
change
and
then,
of
course,
Donald
Trump's
diatribe.
A
N
A
N
We
need
to
do
is
we
need
to
tax
corporations
and
when
we
have,
our
mayor
is
best
friends
with
Carl
Guardino.
We
it's
actually
it's
out
there
in
the
public
that
our
mayor,
Sam
Lucado,
is
best
friends
with
with
with
Carl
Guardino,
who
is
a
head
of
Silicon
Valley
leadership
group,
which
is
an
oxymoron
because
it's
the
merchants,
it's
the
corporation's
in
in
the
back
in
the
1940s.
We
fought
against
against
fascism.
Okay,
that's
what's
happening
right
now
in
our
cities
is
fascistic.
N
That's
what's
happening
is
fascism
that
the
corporations
are
controlling
our
government,
and
so
when
Carl
Guardino
has
so
many
ideas
that
run
the
VTA
and
applause
from
the
VTA
about
how
he's
running
it
cuz.
He
always
says
tax
taxes
tax,
the
taxpayer
get
the
taxpayers
to
pay
for
the
improvements
on
in
our
city
to
get
our
to
get
our
VTA
to
run
like
a
world-class
Transportation
Authority.
We
need
corporations
to
pay
and,
of
course,
called
Rodino
is
not
going
to
come
up
with
that
cuz.
He
represents
the
corporations.
N
We
need
corporations
to
pay
to
get
a
world-class
transit
system,
that's
electrified
and
a
world-class
bicycle
infrastructure.
That
is
world-class
and
we're
not
getting
that
because
nobody's
asking
the
corporation's
to
pay
and
that's
the
ones
who
need
to
pay
because
you're
all
in
bed
with
the
corporations
and
that's
why
we
got
a
on
our
wall
on
our
on
our
community,
historic
community.
We
got
a
logo
about
the
essays
about
the
Sharks
on
our
building.
We
got
a
logo
for
a
corporation.
That's
why
the
kids
are
killing
each
other,
because
you
have
failed
us.
A
A
L
B
A
O
O
In
particular,
it's
just
general
questions
as
it
relates
to
better
understanding
how
what
the
RFP
you
know
it
was
seeking
to
do
and
how
it
all
works,
and
so
and
I've
asked
some
of
these
questions
and
I
think
there's
maybe
still
a
little
bit
of
clarification
that
probably
needs
to
be
had,
but
I
guess.
One
of
the
first
questions
I
have
is
I.
O
Guess
I'd
like
to
better
understand
how
the
program
works
and
why
RFP
was
necessary
because,
as
I
mentioned
eally,
it's
my
sense
that
any
department
mayor's
office
our
office
can
bring
in
students
at
various
times
at
our
leisure.
It
seems,
and
so
I'm
just
curious
as
to
why
this
RFP
was
even
necessary.
Yeah.
E
So,
chief
of
staff
to
the
city
manager,
we
do
have
flexibility
as
an
organization
and
departments,
council
offices
and
the
mayor
to
bring
in
interns
into
the
organization
and
be
in
high
school
college.
This
is
a
little
bit
different
and
so
kind
of
the
question
of
why
an
RFP
is
needed.
I'll
ask
Rick
to
jump
in
and
kind
of,
explain
that
we.
J
J
Continuation
of
this
program,
one
of
the
concerns
quite
frankly-
and
you
you
mentioned
Catholic
education-
was
any
potential
argument
that
there
was
a
church
state
issue,
and
so
this
was
open
to
any
and
all
schools.
So
it
doesn't
play
favorites
with
any
denomination
or
any
kind
of
religious
institution,
and
so
this
was
clearly
something
that
we
did
and
I
would
say
and
I
don't
typically
do
this,
but
I
will
say
the
County
of
Santa.
Clara
did
exact
same
thing,
and
it
is
one
of
those
and
yeah
and
other
public
agencies
as
well.
J
O
Thank
you
and
I
guess
the
the
other
follow-up
question
to
that
is
so,
if
let's
just
assume,
because
I'm
not
intending
to
ask
for
a
deferment
by
the
way,
I'm
just
asking
questions,
but
this
moves
forward.
You
know
next
week
next
month,
East
Side
Union
High
School
District
same
as
a
unified
ask
for
a
similar
type
of
program.
Would
we
need
a
new
RFP.
O
J
Work-Study
program-
I,
don't
know
in
terms
of
internships.
We
have
internship
programs
in
our
office
with
law
students
from
around
the
Bay
Area
and
we
bring
them
into
independent
of
that,
but
they
don't
necessarily
get
work-study
credit.
So
this
is
a
specific
type
of
program
and
there
really
depends
on
what
you
intend
to
what
kind
of
internship
you'd
intend
right.
Okay,.
O
E
I
absolutely
can
so.
The
RFP
was
uploaded
on
to
the
city's
website
and
through
bidsync,
the
city
manager's
team.
Actually
we
looked
at
all
of
the
high
schools
or
continuation
schools
within
the
city
and
who
was
already
uploaded
into
bidsync
and
then
went
through
for
those
schools
that
were
not
yet
registered
on
bidsync
and
registered
them
as
well
as
school
districts,
and
tried
to
put
a
contact
person
who
had
something
to
do
with
career
services
or
continued
education.
And
all
notifications,
as
well
as
just
shy
about
four
thousand
parties,
were
notified
through
bidsync
I.
O
The
questions
I
ask
is
released
is
just
it
just
concerns
me
a
little
bit
that
maybe
it
wasn't
and
I
know
you
know
there
was
3,000
or
so
or
4,000
emails
sent
that
not
everyone
was
aware
of
it
and
I'm
just
wondering
if
we
would
have
had
more
people
bid
on
it
as
opposed
to
just
one
person,
one
respondent
to
the
RFP.
If
more
folks
would
have
known
about
it
and
that's
just
a
concern
that
I
have
and
then
things
that
came
to
mind
as
I
was
reading
through
this.
O
E
Know
to
to
date,
it's
really
been
led
out
of
the
city,
manager's
office
and
kind
of
a
check-in
with
department
directors.
This
partnership,
a
lot
of
training
and
mentorship,
goes
in
on
the
Cristo
Rey
side,
but
it's
equally
important
that
it
happens
on
our
side.
So
it's
really
what
departments,
what
units
and
divisions
and
staff
have
the
time
and
bandwidth
to
do
that,
so
it's
been
somewhat
unofficial
as
we
move
forward.
E
O
E
Correct
so
I,
definitely
there
that
there's
some
things
outlined
in
the
memo.
You
know
the
the
city
isn't
recommending
an
appropriation
of
you
know,
eight
hundred
and
thirty
thousand
dollars
as
part
of
this
action.
It's
just
contract
authority
for
the
city
to
to
spend
that
money
under
this
agreement,
so
we
don't
have
to
come
back
with
additional
appropriations.
The
way
this
works
is
if
the
mayor's
office,
a
council
office
or
any
Department
techne
the
office
of
immigrant
affairs
last
year
did
this.
E
O
So
say,
for
example,
in
my
respective
district
I
have
Oak
Grove,
High
School,
certainly
Valley
Christians
and
in
Theresa
high
school.
If
my
office
was
interested
in
starting
a
work-study
program
with
some
of
the
students
from
those
high
schools,
what
would
what
would?
What
would
we
need
to
do?
Was
it's
just
a
matter
of
bringing
them
on?
Do
we
need
a
new
RFP?
Is
it.
E
G
Thank
you.
I
also
had
a
question
about
the
the
timeline
I
actually
really
enjoy,
having
enjoyed
having
our
San
Jose
Works
employees
in
our
office
and
I
always
look
forward
to
having
high
school
students
and
our
University
College
students
and
my
office
I'm
San
Jose
promise
I
graduate
I
just
love
it,
because
sometimes
some
of
our
community
needs
that
hand
up
or
needs
that
opportunity
and
then
falls
in
love
with
public
service.
What
I
think
they
continue
forever
right?
So
so
I
love
it.
G
This
is
gonna,
be
a
three
year
and
then
in
three
years
we're
having
the
opportunity
to
hopefully
have
more
competitors.
I
just
hope
that
you
can
consider
the
timeframe
and
maybe
put
it
at
the
beginning
of
the
school
year.
I
don't
know
mid
year,
so
that
way
those
administrators
aren't
focused
on
a
year
and
transition.
I
said
from
that
I'd
love
to
be
one
of
those
recipients
for
for
any
high
school
students.
If
we,
if
there's
any,
you
know
if
we
need
to
contribute
to
that
portion
of
it,
however,
it
works.
G
E
G
M
This
I
will
support
it
moving
forward,
but
it
was
concerning
in
regards
to
the
fact
that
only
one
there
were
someone
responded
so
to
me
that
says
that
these
there
was
something
else
in
the
way
from
these
schools
participating,
because
I
think
and
as
Jimenez
kind
of
anecdotally
figured
out
that
there
there
would
be
some
interest
out
there.
But
the
timing
of
this,
the
short
time
of
it
as
well
I
think,
did
not
allow
for
participation
more
than
what
we
have,
which
was
one
individual
school.
M
So
I
would
hope
that
as
we
we
move
forward
this.
You
know
it
sounds
like
a
good
opportunity
and
I
was
also
interested
personally
and
how
you
know
these
students
might
be
utilized.
It
wasn't
necessarily
clear
in
the
memo
that
it
could
be
more
broad
and
so
than
just
the
mayor's
office
of
city
manager's
office.
So,
looking
forward
to
that
and
I
do
know,
it
is
a
you
know,
three-year
contract
and
that
what
I
would
hope
is
if
this
is
something
we're
gonna
continue
that
we
would
do
outreach
ahead
of
time.
M
P
Good
afternoon,
thank
you
for
your
consideration
of
this
agreement.
Many
of
the
council
members
I
think
are
already
aware
of
of
crystal
ray,
but
I
thought
I'd
just
share
a
little
bit
of
information
about
our
school
and
program
for
nearly
25
years
now,
crystal
ray
schools
across
the
US,
and
there
are
35
of
them-
have
been
providing
a
rigorous
college,
prep
education
as
well
as
this
works
that
he
programmed
that
we're
talking
about
today
for
exclusively
low-income
students.
P
These
students
get
to
get
a
very
low-cost
education
and
again
with
the
goal
of
the
schools
of
helping
these
students
achieve
their
dreams
of
earning
a
college
degree.
Why
do
we
need
schools
and
programs
like
this?
Well,
currently,
approximately
fourteen
percent
of
the
bachelors
do
for
this.
This.
This
demographic
is
exclusively
low-income.
Underserved
community
are
earning
bachelor's
degrees
at
about
a
rate
of
about
fourteen
percent
annually
compared
to
about
sixty
percent
for
the
total
population.
P
So
that
is
what
grocery
schools
are
addressing
getting
these
students
to
and
through
college,
so
that
they
can
come
back
here
to
Silicon
Valley
and
compete
for
those
jobs
and
help
end
this
cycle
of
poverty
that
they
and
the
families
have
found
themselves
in.
So
many
companies
and
organizations
participate
in
the
program.
P
The
benefits
of
this
program
are
incredible,
and
I
could
probably
go
on
and
on
for
a
long
time
about
the
benefits,
but
at
a
minimum,
getting
great
work
experience
at
this
age
building.
You
know
their
accountability,
building
their
confidence,
getting
exposure
to
the
kinds
of
careers
that
they
might
want
to
pursue
in
college
and
again
once
they
graduate
so
that
they
can
come
back
and
and
and
and
and
really
compete
for
those
jobs.
We
we
are
need
more
of
these
jobs
and
to
be
able
to
function
as
a
school.
P
The
revenue
that
we
get
from
this
program
helps
fund
the
school
and
make
all
this
possible
just
to
give
you
an
example
are
for
a
second
graduating
class.
This
past
June
84%
of
them,
are
enrolled
in
a
four-year
college.
This
fall
and
we're
gonna
stay
with
them
and
help
them
graduate
at
a
very
high
level
close
to
that
sixty
percent
of
the
national
average.
So
we
need
these
jobs,
I
respectfully
encourage
or
your
aye
vote
on
this
agreement.
Thank
you.
A
P
Environment,
yes,
could
you
describe
it's
a
complicated
formula
based
on
where
we
are
because
it's
different
in
every
because
we're
as
a
part
of
this
crystal
a
network
of
schools,
there's
some
guidance
on
this,
but
it's
a
little
bit
higher
here,
but
just
to
give
you
a
sense
of
our
families,
an
average
family
of
about
five
members,
that
the
income
is
just
forty
six
thousand
dollars
a
year
here,
and
so
is
the
average
of
our
families.
Here
at
Cristo,
Rey
and.
P
F
Thank
you,
I
actually
wasn't
going
to
weigh
in,
but
with
my
council
colleagues.
I
just
wanted
to
echo
what
they
had
to
say
thanks
for
speaking
man,
and
this
has
nothing
to
do
with
the
program
at
Cristo,
Rey
I.
Think
it's
a
wonderful
program
and
a
wonderful
model
regarding
the
work-study,
but
coming
from
the
public
school
realm.
F
I
find
it
very
important
that
we
encourage
the
same
type
of
opportunities
in
public
school
and
to
echo
what
councilman
umber
arena
said
is
that
the
timing
of
the
RFP
is
really
problematic
for
a
school
district,
and
that's
where
you
need
to
go.
You
can't
go
to
the
local
schools.
You
have
to
go
to
the
school
districts
to
get
approval
and
they
have
to
go
to
their
boards
for
approval
and
ask
to
get
agendas
just
like
it
does
with
us.
F
So
and
April
is
a
difficult
time,
because
that's
when
they're
going
through
their
budget
process
through
their
local
control,
funding
formula
and
everything
else,
so
I
just
wanted
to
emphasize
comments
that
were
made
already.
This
is
a
great
opportunity
and
I'm
going
to
support
the
motion
for
crystal
ray
because
it
benefits
your
student.
F
It
benefits
all
of
our
students,
all
of
our
kids
right
and
your
target
population
is
a
population
that
we
need
to
make
sure
that
they
get
access
to
education
in
schools
and
college
later
so
I
completely
support
that,
but
I'd
love
to
see
an
expansion
of
it
to
encourage
public
schools
as
much
as
possible
as
well.
So
thank
you.
Thank
you.
Thanks.
A
I
also
had
the
opportunity
I
think
this
is
your
second
year
I,
think
they've
graduates
matter,
I
think
in
the
first
year,
106
graduates,
if
I
recall,
learn
five
went
on
to
college.
Nearly
every
single
one
of
them
was
the
first
in
their
family
to
go
to
college.
It's
a
tremendous
organization
in
terms
of
lifting
the
trajectories
of
and
opportunities
for,
so
many
kids
and
I'm
just
grateful
that
they're
doing
that
work
here
and
as
far
as
public
agencies,
I
think
Valley
Transportation
the
way
I
think
hiring.
A
The
first
group
of
kids
and
I
think
they're
continuing
to
do
that
today
in
the
county
Santa
Clara
has
mentioned
the
water
dish.
Maybe
as
well
was
that
right,
not
yet
okay
still
working
on
them.
Nonetheless,
there
are
other
public
agencies.
Doing
this
and
and
I
think
it's
it's
great
that
we're
all
participating
together,
councilmember,
especially
I.
B
Also
wanted
to
add
my
comments
just
to
make
sure
that
you
know
that
it's
heard
in
addition
to
everybody
else,
we
have
some
very
large
public
school
districts
that
also
have
a
lot
of
low-income
students.
I'm
gonna
be
supporting
this
motion.
I
have
personal
experience
with
crystal
we
interns
great
kids,
and
have
seen
the
support
that
pretty
still
today
provides
to
the
kids
and
have
seen
the
organization
and
wrap
their
arms
around
the
kids
and
really
support
them
and
change
the
trajectory
of
their
lives.
B
So
I
agree
with
that,
but
I
would
like
to
give
those
opportunities
also
to
our
public
school
partners
and
they're,
really
partners,
they're
organizations
that
we
work
with
throughout
the
year,
and
so
I
would
like
to
see
that
in
the
future,
but
again
I'm
gonna
be
supporting
this
motion.
Thank
you.
Okay,.
Q
So
that's
a
better,
better
track
record
than
in
the
past
and
certainly
appreciate
the
help
of
everyone
up
here
and
and,
of
course,
the
attorney's
office
in
the
clerk's
office
and
everyone
in
the
departments
helping
do
that,
and
certainly
that
extended
to
today
in
terms
of
trying
to
put
forward
a
manageable
agenda
so
that
we
could
all
go
out
and
enjoy
a
safe
and
fun
National
Night
Out.
Thank
you.
A
A
I,
don't
know
if
anybody
from
Finance
Julia,
ok,
I'll,
just
ask
the
general
question,
which
is,
as
we
look
across
the
next
three
items
and
I'm
not
suggesting
the
county,
doesn't
earn
every
dollar
that
they
get
from
us,
but
on
the
sanitary
and
storm
sewer
charges
they
get
0.3%
of
the
hundred
and
eighty
eight
million
in
fees
and
then
on
the
next
item,
the
residential
salt,
waste
collection
service
charges.
They
get
a
full
one
percent
of
the
102
million
in
fees,
taxes
and
then
on
the
next
item,
which
is
the
property
tax
levy.
D
It's
a
rate
per
assessed
value
on
each
piece
of
property,
but
for
the
solid
waste
the
storm
in
the
sewer,
it
actually
goes
on
by
an
APN
by
a
PN
number.
So
it's
more
labor-intensive
for
the
county
to
do
that.
But
we
have
had
some
discussions
internally
with
the
budget
office
about
looking
at
all
of
the
fees
that
the
county
charges
us
for
the
things
that
we
put
on
the
property
tax
role
and
trying
to
kind
of
go
back
and
look
at
that
and
see.
F
D
D
A
A
A
All
right,
3.5
is
a
public
hearing
for
the
annual
residential,
solid
waste
collection
service
charges.
Do
I
need
to
clear
the
hearing
is
open,
Rick,
yeah,
okay,
the
hearings
open.
We
don't
have
any
cards
from
any
members
of
the
public,
so
we'll
close
the
hearing
is
there
a
motion
all
right?
Let's
vote
on
three
point:
five.
A
Yes,
yeah
good
point:
Rick,
just
nudged
me,
a
big
kudos
to
Julia
and
the
entire
team
for
the
refinancing
of
all
those
bonds
with
about
half
a
billion
dollars
or
the
bonds,
both
wrapping
up
our
old
obligations
or,
what's
left
of
them
from
the
measures
what
18
or
20
years
ago,
and
then
obviously
the
new
issue
and
to
measure
T
bonds.
Obviously
all
of
them
are
really
critically
important
for
our
city
and
we
saved
a
lot
of
money
doing
it.
So
thank
Julia
for
your
team's
great
work.
Q
Thank
you
have
a
brief
presentation
for
you:
Matt
Cana,
Director
of
Public
Works
am
here
with
me:
Kim
Walsh,
deputy
city
manager,
Chris
Burton,
deputy
director
of
economic
development
and
Chris
Hickey
division
manager
with
Public
Works
and
before
I,
forget
I'd,
like
to
thank
Rick
Doyle
and
his
team.
The
City
Attorney's
Office
did
a
tremendous
amount
of
work
to
help
us
get
here
today,
just
as
a
little
bit
of
background
in
April
on
April
3rd
2018
received
mayor
and
city
council
direction
to
work
on
four
items.
Q
The
first
is
a
capital
bond
measure
which
was
voted
on
and
approved
by
the
voters
in
November
8
2009
2018
measure
T.
The
second
was
best
value
contracting.
That
was,
we
received
permission
from
the
voters
of
San
Jose
to
implement
best
value
contracting
as
part
of
measure.
S
last
fall
and
we'll
be
coming
forward
with
all
the
Municipal
Code
changes
to
make
put
that
into
effect.
Q
Later
this
month,
we
received
direction
on
project
labor
agreements
that
was
brought
to
council
late
last
year,
and
this
past
spring
were
able
to
finalize
an
agreement
with
the
Santa
Clara
and
San
Benito
Building
Trades
Council,
and
the
affiliated
unions
and
we've
begun
to
put
out
procurement
with
project
labor
agreements
as
requirement
as
requirements
in
those
procurements
and
we'll.
So
those
will
start
coming
forward
as
actual
construction
projects
in
the
very
near
future
and
the
forest.
I
fourth
item
was
private
development,
work
for
standards
and
on
June
25th
we're
in
two
months
ago.
Q
Now
we
were
in
front
of
you
with
the
first
part
of
those
private
development
work
for
standards
where
we
implemented
the
initial
municipal
code
changes
and
made
prevailing
wage
a
requirement
during
certain
projects
when
a
subsidy
is
provided
by
the
city
and
private
development.
However,
we
at
that
time
did
not
recommend
or
did
not
have
ready,
the
implementation
of
the
other
three
private
workforce
requirements,
local
hire,
targeted
hire
and
apprenticeship
standards.
Q
So
those
are
now
in
front
of
you
as
being
recommended
as
part
of
the
ordinance
so
that
moving
forward
any
project
that
has
deemed
a
subsidy
and
per
the
rules
of
the
ordinance
could
have
these
standards
applied.
And
this
memo
in
front
of
you
today
also
clarifies
some
housing
exemptions
that
for
affordable
housing
projects
that
weren't
clarified
in
the
June
memo.
Q
Our
next
steps
are
really
to
request
your
approval
of
this
memorandum
and
ordinance
today,
and
this
ordinance
effectively
replaces
the
ordinance
that
was
approved
in
on
June
25th
and,
of
course,
adds
those
additional
standards
to
it
and
then
in
the
future.
If
any
subsidies
are
being
recommended
on
private
development
projects,
that
would
be
discussed
as
part
of
a
council
action
on
whether
these
ordinances,
whether
these
requirements,
would
apply
with
that
we'd,
be
happy
to
answer
any
questions
that
you
may
have
all.
A
B
Good
afternoon,
mayor
city,
council
Louise,
our
hon
director
of
economic
and
workforce
policy
at
working
partnerships,
USA
I've
spent
the
past
five
and
a
half
years
focused
on
workforce
development
in
the
construction
industry
in
San
Jose,
and
what
I've
seen
is
that
this
is
a
two
tier
industry.
There
are
construction,
jobs
that
are
career
pathway,
middle
wage,
enable
people
to
support
a
family,
have
a
home
live
here
in
San
Jose,
and
there
are
low
road
jobs
that
are
working
poor,
that
suffer
wage
theft
that
suffer
gross
health
and
safety
violations.
B
This
ordinance
is
a
big
step
in
the
direction
of
encouraging
that
high
road
model
of
encouraging
responsible
developers
and
contractors
who
invests
in
the
community
invest
in
the
workforce,
invest
in
providing
career
pathways
for
our
local
residents
and
for
our
youth
and
I
really
support
and
commend
the
council
for
taking
this
step.
We
hope
to
see
these
standards
applied
to
any
subsidies
or
incentives
that
go
forward
in
the
future,
so
that
we
can
really
grow
our
own
local
workforce
and
provide
these
good
opportunities
for
more
San
Jose
residents.
Thank
you.
Thank.
D
Good
afternoon,
mayor
and
city
council
members,
my
name
is
josue
Garcia,
that
director
for
the
Santa
Clara
County
residents
for
responsible
development
and
I'm
here,
encouraging
you
to
adopt
this
this
policy.
As
it's
been
stated,
it
will
create
a
level
playing
field
for
contractors,
but
also
it
will
employ
local
workers
for
sure
and
give
opportunity
for
apprentices
and
at-risk
youth
and
in
other
groups.
In
addition,
the
policy
will
prevent
contractors
from
exploiting
workers,
which
is
a
big
need
right
now.
E
Hello,
Larry
Ames
I'm
here
to
speak
in
favor
of
parks.
I
know
it's
not
on
the
agenda,
but
at
the
last
meeting
on
June
25th,
several
people
public
speakers
came
up
and
said
no
one
parks
and
so
I'm
here
to
say
yes
on
parks,
I
sent
you
a
letter.
Hope
you
got
a
chance
to
read
it
it's
about
for
the
people's
health
and
sanity.
People
need
a
way
to
get
outdoors,
to
get
fresh
air
and
sunshine
to
exercise
and
to
meet
interact
with
their
fellow
residents.
E
The
high
rise
density,
I
density
dwellings
that
are
now
being
planned
do
not
provide
room
for
patios
or
backyards,
and
so
the
nearby
parks
fill
that
need.
I
appreciate
that
housing
projects
may
be
challenged,
challenging
to
finance
and
the
city
permits
and
fees
are
part
of
the
costs,
but
you
can't
build
these
dwellings
without
providing
roads
or
without
providing
sewer
lines
or
the
other
investors
necessary
infrastructure.
E
If
you
build
the
buildings
without
providing
parks,
the
new
residents
will
go
and
use
the
existing
parks
adding
to
their
wear
and
tear
and
possibly
overloading
them,
and
then
our
current
residents
will
resist
this
imposition
of
these
new
things,
and
so
they
will
end
up
opposing
future
projects
so
for
everybody's
quality
of
life,
please
do
not
shortchange
parks
in
this
process.
Thank
you.
Thank.
N
O
A
H
Good
afternoon
I'm,
Jean,
Dresden
and
I'm
here
today,
representing
San
Jose
parks,
advocates
and
yes,
I
know
this
items
about
the
planned
development
worked
for
standards.
However,
the
last
time
this
was
heard
in
June,
five
people
in
a
row
stood
up
to
talk
about
eliminating
Park
fees,
so
it
seems
only
appropriate
that
you
should
hear
an
alternate
view
within
the
item.
There
was
also
a
discussion
of
the
financing
feasibility
study
and
it
was
placed
on
a
hurry-up
schedule
with
the
original
idea
that
would
come
back
today
as
park
advocates.
H
We
support
parks
as
a
key
amenity
that
makes
cities
livable
and
park
fees
are
a
key
tool
in
making
an
economic
partner
of
parks
with
development.
We
support
no
change
in
park
fees
or
their
collection.
We
also
believe
that
the
financing
feasibility
study
should
be
designed
in
a
way
that
reveals
the
full
picture
and
takes
into
account
the
current
market
conditions
and
uses
the
dynamic
analysis
method.
H
Our
long
letter
that
we
sent
further
explains
our
concerns
and
the
kinds
of
analytical
detail
we
wish
there
is
no
other
public
forum
for
the
public
to
talk
about
the
design
of
this
study.
It
was
brought
forward
as
a
design
during
the
month
of
July,
so
we
bring
it
up
now.
We
say
we
need
housing
and
Parks
the
Halcon.
The
economic
benefits
of
parks
are
undeniable.
Any
proposal
to
discard
Park
fees
is
to
create
future.
H
L
Speakers
had
said
something
particularly
interesting:
it
is
all
about
investment
in
investing
in
communities.
Investing
in
our
housing
infrastructure
and
I
continue
to
talk
about
the
fact
that
reducing
fees
is
not
a
subsidy.
I
think
that
it's
important
for
us
to
distinguish
the
fact
that
when
you
reduce
a
fee
it's
different
than
when
you
give
people
money,
they're
still
giving
us
money.
J
I
think
moves
forward
with,
let's
say
it
eliminates
a
fee
in
its
entirety,
which
the
council
could
do
at
any
time.
That
is
something
just
generally
applicable
and
I
wouldn't
see
that
as
falling
within
the
definition
of
subsidy.
Here,
though,
what
the
definition
is
that
any
contribution
of
land,
money
or
other
financial
assistant,
which
I
think
is
what
you
talked
about
originally
you
know
the
city's
actually
giving
something:
that's
a
subsidy
and
then
any
reduction
of
a
fear
to
a
private
construction
project
or
multiple
projects,
and
that's
a
reduction
of
the
fear
tax.
J
I
think
he
gets
down
to.
Are
you
doing
it
in
the
context
of
trying
to
incentivize
private
construction
projects
and
I?
Think
that's,
that's
really
what
the
ordinance
is
attending
to
address
so
in
the
abstract.
Talking
about
that,
you
know
really
is:
what's
the
purpose
of
reducing
the
fee
and
I
think
that's
what
we'd
have
to
look
at?
Yes,.
L
That
still
sounds
vague
to
me.
I'm
not
gonna,
be
supporting
this,
and,
and
mainly
because
look,
let's
say
that
we
reduced
the
fees
for
a
high-rise
by
10
percent
or
15
percent.
We
tack
on
a
PLA
that
increases
the
fees
by
15
percent,
so
we
ended
up
giving
no
real
incentive
whatsoever,
and
if
our
enough,
our
goal
is
to
create
more
housing
and
especially
in
downtown
Howard
higher
density
housing,
then
we
have
to
look
for
real
ways
to
incentivize
them.
L
I've
always
complained
that
the
fees
were
already
too
high
and
I've
always
said
that
the
fees
were
we're
too
high
for
many
different
things
and
I've
worked
in
the
past,
unsuccessfully
to
reduce
fees
and
and
quite
frankly,
the
only
reason
we
have
buildings
going
up
in
downtown
is
because
we
reduced
the
fees.
I
haven't
seen
any
high
downtown
high-rises
go
up
under
any
other
regime
until
we
reduced
the
fees,
and
so
is
there
way.
Is
there
a
way
that
we
could
put
in
this
ordinance?
J
Well,
I,
don't
think
that's
necessary
cuz,
it
doesn't
fall
within
the
definition.
I
mean
I.
Think
again,
if
we're
talking
about
the
definition
as
it
exists
and
I'm
looking
at
page
four
of
the
ordinance
1410
100b,
so
any
reduction
of
any
fee
or
tax
applicable
to
a
single
private
construction
project
were
multiple
private
construction
projects.
We're
talking
about
construction
projects
generally,
so
it
wouldn't
apply
and
I,
don't
think
that's
that
makes
it
that's
necessary.
I!
Think!
J
F
J
Correct
I
mean
again,
the
whole
idea
is
you're
trying
to
incentivize
construction
through
reductions
or
eliminations
for
those
types
of
projects.
If
you
just
get
rid
of
something
in
its
entirety,
it
deploys
across
the
city
citywide.
You
know
that
isn't
really
what
this
is
trying
to
address
example:
downtown
incentives
own
that
has
been
the
that
has
been
probably
the
most
focus
of
any
in
all
Parker,
that
feed
reductions
or
construction,
tax
reductions
and
I
think
those
are
the
types
of
things
we're
looking
at
here.
Okay,.
F
R
Hi
Chris
Hickey
public
works
good
faith
there's.
Actually
we
did
not
define
it
in
the
ordinance
that
is
actually
gonna
be
done
through
regulations.
It
allows
for
much
more
flexibility,
but
to
start
with
the
apprentices
apprenticeship
standards.
Those
are
actually
already
included
in
our
Public
Works
prevailing
wage
requirements
in
our
ordinance,
and
so
that
will
in
the
ordinance
it
references
back
to
our
current
ordinance
and
so
contractors
and
developers
who
will
be
subject
to
this
will
just
continue
with
that
same
process
for
good
faith
efforts
and
targeted
hire
as
well
as
local
hire.
R
There's
a
list
of
things
that
a
contractor
will
have
to
do
so.
They
will
one
would
be
that
they
reach
out
to
local
union
hiring
halls
to
for
any
new
workers
that
are
going
to
be
working
on
the
project
or
they
go
out
into
the
community.
Putting
job
postings
in
the
local
construction,
add
papers,
conducting
interviews
with
local
employees
and
whatnot,
so
they'll
just
have
to
show
contractors
and
developers
well
to
show
the
office
of
quality
assurance
and
Public
Works
lists
of
job
postings
and
provide
that
information
to
my
staff
to
oversee.
F
Like
there's
a
provision
for
a
succeeding,
what
happens
if
they
don't
succeed?
What
if
they
go
to
the
in
good
faith,
go
to
the
union
halls
and
look
for
the
apprentices,
but
there
aren't
enough
apprentices
available
in
the
area
that
they
need
them
and
in
the
ratio
that
is
required
or
the
under
represented
workers
as
well.
What
if
they
are
unable
to
find
the
percentage
that
is
called
for
in
the
ordinance?
What
what
happens
to
the
developer
in
the
project
so.
R
F
So
what
I'm
hearing
you
say
is
that
we
would
like
them
to
hire
apprentices.
What
is
it
I
forget
the
percentage
one
to
five
raishin
one
to
five.
Thank
you,
but
if
they're
unable
to
after
they've
attempted
there's
no
penalty
and
they
can
go
forward
with
their
project,
that
is
correct,
okay
and
who
oversees
your
department
oversees
that
how
much
staff
time
is
going
to
be
required
from
you
to
oversee
these
projects.
That
is.
R
F
R
Are
currently
not
doing
that
on
our
public
works
construction
monitoring
of
prevailing
wages
when
a
project
receives
a
subsidy
and
these
workforce
standards
are
applied,
then
yes,
staff
would
be
overseen
not
only
the
prevailing
wages,
but
also
the
apprenticeship
ratios,
the
good
faith
effort
portion,
but
also
making
sure
you
know
where
every
employees
coming
from
and
that
actually
is
provided
on
their
certified
payrolls
that
they
would
have
to
submit
to
show
compliance
of
prevailing
wage.
That
would
show
the
employees
location,
residency,
application,
okay,.
F
Q
We
did
put
a
paragraph
in
the
end
of
the
memo
in
front
of
you
today
indicating
that
if
subsidies
are
provided
and
this
ordinance
is
enacted,
there
would
be
a
staffing
workload
issue
and
we
would
bring
forward
a
discussion
on
that
as
part
of
the
council
memo
for
you
to
consider
the
subsidy
and
because
this
Chrissa
staff
is
fully
capable
of
doing
this
work,
but
they
don't.
We
don't
the
capacity
to
absorb
a
lot
of
these
projects
to
oversee
right
now.
I.
F
Appreciate
that
we're
increasing
the
bureaucracy
at
the
city,
we're
also
increasing
the
bureaucracy
for
the
Builder
to
accomplish
these
goals,
to
achieve
what
we're
trying
to
achieve,
which
is
local,
higher
prevailing
wage,
etc.
On
these
projects
that
are
subsidized,
but
it
does
increase
a
level
of
paperwork
and
bureaucracy
at
the
city
level,
but
also
at
the
developers
level.
So
let
me
ask
question
about
from
the
developers
level
are
have
we
engaged
them
in
the
conversation
of
if
this
change
is
made?
We
we
approve
this
ordinance
today.
D
D
F
I
appreciate
that
so
you're
you're
still
working
on
the
study
that
will
determine
whether
some
of
these
projects
will
pencil
out
for
the
developer
and
really,
ultimately
their
financier.
Whoever
is
financing
their
projects.
Okay,
well,
I,
look
forward
to
that
study
and
I
appreciate
you
taking
the
time
to
answer
my
questions,
but
I'm
I'm
not
finished
so
in
the
in
the
the
hiring
their
subcontractors
who
are
doing
the
hiring
and
not
necessarily
the
developer.
F
R
Thank
you
I,
yes,
the
actual
odorants
goes
all
the
way
down
through
the
subcontractors.
The
the
developer
and
the
general
contractor
would
be
responsible
for
disseminating
that
information
and
the
requirements
down,
and
then
it
goes
in
the
reverse
order.
They
would
the
general
contractor
and
the
developer
would
be
required
to
collect
all
that
information
from
their
subcontractors
and
third-tier
subcontractors
all
the
way
down
and
then
provide
that
and
submit
that
to
the
city
for
review.
So
it
would
be
on
the
the
developers
and
general
contractor
to
to
perform
that
work
for
their
subcontractors.
R
R
That
happens
on
our
public
works
construction
projects.
Currently
we
should
we
get
into
a
contract
with
a
general
contractor
to
build
a
part.
They
we
only
have
the
contractual
agreement
with
the
general
contractor,
it's
upon
them
to
disseminate
that
information
and
also
provide
the
city
with
the
requirements
of
all
their
subcontractors
as
well.
Okay,.
F
Think
that's
it.
I
really
do
look
forward
to
the
report.
That's
coming
later,
the
high-rise
development
incentive
program
and
or
to
see
how
that
flushes
out
but
I
much
of
what
is
in
this
proposed
ordinance.
The
I
find
acceptable.
I
am
glad
to
hear
that
if
a
tax
is
eliminated
or
if
he
eliminated,
that
does
not
trigger
the
subsidy.
That
was
a
concern
that
I
had,
but
really
if
the
public
has
been.
If
the
developer
is
getting
a
public
benefit
by
us,
then
there
they're
conforming
to
prevailing
wage
and
the
other
requirements
of
this.
D
You
first
of
all,
I
want
to
state
I,
desperately
want
housing
to
get
built
in
the
city
and
everywhere
across
the
state.
As
we
have
it's
been
reported
statewide,
we
have
a
shortage
of
3.4
million
units
of
housing.
I
think
we
all
have
to
remember
that
and
any
time
we
talk
about
anything
that
may
hinder
the
building
of
housing.
We
have
to
discuss
how
many
millions
of
units
we
are
short
in
our
state.
Second
I
want
every
worker
to
be
paid
fairly
for
every
hour.
They
work
every
single
hour.
J
An
elimination
is
is
totally
eliminating
the
fee
or
the
tax,
as
opposed
to
a
reduction
in
the
feet,
suspending
it.
Even
if
it's
permanent
suspension,
that's
different,
it's
not
an
elimination
of
the
fee
or
the
tax
and
the
exemption,
which
would
be
a
targeted
exemption,
so
meaning
an
elimination.
It
stands
on
its
own.
So
if
the
City
Council
and
it's
legislative
discretion
determines
it
wants
to
eliminate
a
fee
or
a
tax,
this
does
not
apply
I.
F
D
D
J
Reduction
does
not
mean
elimination,
so
elimination
and
I'm
happy
to
have
that
sentence
put
in
if
the
council
wants
to
add
that
sentence
and
save.
If
that's
the
the
the
intent
is
not
to
take
away
the
power
of
the
City
Council
to
eliminate
in
its
entirety
a
tax
or
a
fee
is
just
with
respect
to
operating
as
a
subsidy
where
there
is
a
one,
a
reduction
in
the
suspension
or
exemption
of
the
fee,
so
I'm
looking
at
tracking
the
language,
so
I'm
happy
to
add
that
sentence.
M
M
I
believe
there
were
multiple
parties
involved
in
the
negotiation
of
this,
and
so
that's
when
I'm
kind
of
curious
about
whether
it
was
your
staff
or
the
staff
sitting
here
across
from
us
right
is.
That
is
this
clarity
where
you
know
we
have
always
been,
and
if
there's
no,
you
know
contesting
of
that,
and
this
is
indeed
the
direction
that
we
were
looking
for.
It
does
appear
potentially
in
my
mind,
just
a
workaround.
If
we
were
to
either
say
hey,
we
wanted
to
reduce
a
fee.
M
Well,
let's
get
around
all
of
this,
but
I
just
saying:
let's
just
eliminate
it
in
total
and
if
ever
you
know
in
the
future,
a
council
wants
to
to,
you
know,
add
in
a
fee.
Well
then,
we'll
just
add
it
back
in
later
on,
so
it
seems
like
a
bit
of
a
workaround
and
so
I,
just
you
know
not
being
privy
to
being
part
of
the
motion
ago.
She
ations
I'm
I'm.
Q
Conversations
here
and
there
for
sure
so
I
think
what
Rick
describes
is,
is
accurate,
I
think
the
premise
behind
the
rules
that
we're
talking
about
today
are
around
the
fact
that
if
the
city
is
someway
contributing
to
the
project,
then
these
rules
would
apply
in
whether
that's
in
terms
of
land
or
or
giving
money
or
a
subsidy
on
our
fees.
I,
don't
think
it
was
ever
intended
to
kind
of
disallow
the
city
or
prevent
the
city
from
kind
of
going
through
a
process.
Q
What
we
do
from
time
to
time
where
we
restructure
fees,
sometimes
circumstances
change,
where
we
kind
of
look
at
things
differently,
it's
kind
of
across
the
board,
and
we
actually
do
this
on
annual
basis
through
the
fee
process,
where
we
bring
forward
recommendations
to
raise
or
lower
fees.
You
know,
programmatically
and
I,
don't
think
there
was
ever
an
intention
to
kind
of
include
that
aspect.
It
was
more
through
this,
where
we're
contributing
to
individual
projects
or
a
type
of
project
to
make
them
happen.
J
That's
that
citywide,
which
is
what
I
was
trying
to
get
to
within
any
of
the
five
following
general
land-use
categories,
is
not
a
subsidy
in
the
residential
office,
retail
research,
development
or
industrial.
So
I
think
that
covers
the
concern
that
a
citywide
elimination
reduction
doesn't
apply
so
I'm
more
comfortable
with
that.
M
Reflects
the
agreement,
and
only
because
clearly,
right
again,
there
was
a
lot
of
effort
to
get
to
this
point,
I'm
comfortable
with
with
that
language.
It
sounds
like
that
might
address
exactly
what
you
were
saying
should
RDA
been
in
there
and
looks
like
it
is
so
does
that?
Does
that
address
the
concerns?
Yes,.
D
I
still
I
still
have
concerns
about
about
this
ordinance
because
I
agree
with
councilmember
Camus.
If
we,
if
we
reduce
a
fee,
even
if
we
reduce
it
temporarily
for
whatever
reason,
I
don't
see
that
as
a
subsidy
I
think
again,
we
have
a
vested
interest
in
building
as
much
housing
as
we
can
get
built,
given
the
severe
shortage
of
housing
units
statewide
and
Bay
Area
wide,
so
I,
don't
think
I
can
support
this.
K
J
A
J
K
I
guess
I
mean
I,
agree
in
principle
with
the
idea
that
you
know
if
somebody
receives
a
subsidy,
you
know
there
are
certain
demands
or
expectations
that
the
the
city
should
should
abide
by
I
tend
to
agree
with
councillor
David
chemist's,
that
you
know
when
that
when
the
city
has
a
fee,
you
know
we've
had
this
discussion
before
previous
meetings.
If
you're
going
to
a
car
lot,
and
then
you
sell
you
say:
I'll
read,
you
know:
I'll
reduce
the
cost
of
this
car.
K
You
take
it
off
the
lot
right
now
like
two
grand
you're,
not
giving
the
party
at
pocketing
two
grand
you're,
basically
reducing
the
the
profit
or
your
margin
of
profit.
So
I
don't
feel
like
that
is
a
subsidy,
but
you
know
this
seems
like
a
moot
point.
Listening
to
Chris
and
and
and
Rick
kind
of
unfurled.
This
I
understand
kind
of
the
the
lever
and
the
ability
of
the
council,
I
guess
my
question
or
my
concern
would
be
we
can
we
can
Olymp
this?
K
This
will
not
apply
if
we
eliminate
the
whole
category
of
the
fee
completely,
but
I
can
foresee
a
future
where
we
may
just
want
to
get
through
a
bump
in
in
a
recession
or
something
so
suspending
it
or
eliminating
it,
but
then
reinstating
it.
You
know
a
year
later,
because
we've
we've
made
a
turnaround
in
the
economy
and
we
don't
need
you
know
we
can
impose
it
again.
K
How
do
you
see
that
playing
out
so
I
don't
want
to
speculate,
but
if
we
suspend
it
for
a
year,
you're
saying
that
this
gets
triggered
and
prevailing
wage
well
that
applies.
But
if
the
council
just
says
we're
gonna
eliminate
the
whole
category
completely,
but
then
you
know
two
years:
three
years:
debt
later
we've
reinstated.
Are
we
in
some
way
circumventing
this
I?
Think.
J
That's
what
14,
10
300
tries
to
address
citywide
fear
tax
reduction
you
applied
uniformly,
which
includes
suspension
or
elimination.
Quite
frankly
that
wouldn't
trigger
it.
It's
really
getting
to
the
issue
of
we're
trying
to
incentivize
projects
and
I
always
point
to
the
downtown,
because
that
seems
to
be
where
we
always
put
the
focus,
but
we've
we've
we've
had
a
long
experience
with
that
and
that's
what
this
really
gets
to
so.
K
A
Yep
I
appreciate
your
comments
and
those
are
many
colleagues
I
I
to
share
the
belief
that
if
you're
not
getting
anything
built
and
you
reduce
a
fee
or
a
tax
in
order
to
get
something
built,
I
don't
regard
that
as
a
subsidy.
That's
a
case
of
City
Hall
trying
to
get
out
of
the
way
and
that's
what
we
should
be
doing
when
we're
not
getting
things
built
and
we
need
to
get
housing
built
and
we
need
to
get
other
things
built.
A
So
I
also
hear
that
basic
principle
and
I
also
adhere
to
the
basic
principle
that
everyone
does
need
to
get
paid
fairly
and
treated
well.
Construction
projects
that
the
sentiment
that
I
think
underlies
the
way
this
was
constructed.
At
least
the
negotiating
table
was
look
if
we're
in
a
recession
and
we're
not
getting
anything
built,
and
we
just
have
to
eliminate
you
know
in
a
fee
across
the
entire
category
of
commercial
or
residential
or
whatever.
That's
not
a
subsidy,
because
we
all
recognize
nothing's
getting
built,
I.
A
Think
in
the
common
parlance,
we
think
of
subsidy
is
sort
of
a
particular
favor
for
a
particular
builder
or
developer,
and
so
that's
why
we're
going
through
a
bit
of
the
song
and
dance
around
well,
if
it's
a
subcategory
of
something
within
that
general
category,
then
the
city
just
has
to
show
that
development
is
infeasible
and
that's
why
we
do
the
studies.
So
the
study
is
going
to
come
back.
A
We're
hoping
a
few
weeks
and
it'll
tell
us
whether
or
not
I
think
in
this
case
high-rise
residential
construction
is
infeasible,
and
if
it
is,
then
we
have
a
clear
path,
and
if
we
don't,
then
we
don't
and
we
let
the
facts,
tell
us
the
challenge.
Of
course,
is
you
know,
as
we've
trying
to
figure
this
out,
as
we
know
that
there
are.
A
You
know
this
is
a
dynamic
economy
and
things
are
changing
all
the
time.
We
know
it's
been
pretty
bad
in
terms
of
costs
for
quite
a
while,
but
obviously
this
will
require
us
to
be
nimble
and
try
to
figure
this
out
as
we're
essentially
experimenting
with
this
approach.
This
is
something
quite
new
for
us
and
I.
Think,
for
probably
for,
for
others
around
the
bargaining
table,
counselor
profs
thanks.
M
If
we
get
zero
development,
then
we
get
zero
fees
for
any
of
these
things.
But
if
we
eliminate
these
fees
or
reduce
these
fees,
then
then
we
and
our
community
is
at
a
loss
on
these
improvements
that
the
fees
actually
go
to
and
additionally
right.
That
is
our
opportunity
to
manage
and
if
we
are
going
to
to
reduce
fees,
I
think
we're
putting
a
value
on
these
when
we
do
place
out
specific
projects.
G
Thank
you
well,
I
want
to
thank
everyone,
who's
who
came
to
speak
in
support
of
the
private
development
workforce
standards
as
well
as
those
folks
who
continue
to
keep
our
parks
in
mind.
So
thank
you
all
for
being
here.
I
also
want
to
thank
staff
for
getting
this
to
this
point.
This
is
I
believe,
like
four
years
in
the
making
and
there's
a
lot
of
really
good
work
here.
G
Is
it
perfect
absolutely
hide,
but
this
is
an
investment
not
only
in
private
development,
but
this
is
this.
Investment
is
in
our
workforce
and
we
can't
have
it
both
ways.
We
can't
I
don't
want
to
I,
don't
want
to
be
in
the
middle
of
I.
Don't
want
to
stop
development
I
want
to
make
sure
we
have
housing,
but
I
can't
have
it
on
the
backs
of
of
our
Labor's
and
our
working
poor
and
are
already
homeless.
G
So
you
can't
have
it
both
ways,
because
the
reality
is
that
the
majority
of
the
housing
that
we
are
going
to
probably
subsidize
is
not
going
to
be
for
those
folks
and
for
the
folks
that
that
are
going
to
continue
to
be
working
poor.
So
I'm
absolutely
going
to
support
this
as
it
stands,
I'm
glad
that
there
were
any
changes.
Any
changes
just
means
a
delay
in
this
and
I
think
some
of
the
questions
were
already
answered
and
if
that's
not
sufficient,
that
means
that
that
wasn't
the
issue
at
hand
anyways.
G
So
thank
you
for
your
leadership
and
I'm
looking
at
staff
and,
of
course,
our
mayor,
who
would
led
this
discussion
and
it
has
been
a
long
path
between
everybody
sitting
in
at
the
table
and
for
honoring
honoring,
this
disagreement
and
finally
having
it
come
through
I'm
really
proud
at
this
moment.
So
thank
you.

A
A
I
So
the
item
you're
considering
today,
is
approval
the
parameters
associated
with
request
for
proposals
for
large
format,
signage
and
billboards
on
city-owned
property,
just
as
a
matter
of
background
in
September
of
2018
Council
approved
amendments
to
the
general
plan,
council
policy,
6.4
and
title
23
of
the
San
Jose
muni
code
to
allow
these
signs
on
city-owned
property
as
part
of
the
first
phase
of
a
two-phase
work
plan.
As
part
of
that
work,
staff
had
evaluated
over
a
thousand
sites,
more
specifically
PGCE
staff
evaluated
over
a
thousand
potential
sites.
I
We
anticipate
coming
back
to
Council
for
approval
of
the
lease
agreements
with
any
successful
proposers,
as
well
as
any
necessary
lease
or
operating
agreement,
amendments
with
tenant
stakeholders
or
operators
in
our
city
owned
facilities
that
are
affected
by
the
end
of
this
calendar
year.
We
anticipate
that
new
signage
would
be
installed
instead
sites
and
operating
in
the
spring
/summer
of
2020.
I
H
Good
afternoon,
mayor
City
Council,
my
name's
Bruce
Qualls
I'm
in
charge
of
real
estate
and
public
affairs
for
Clear
Channel
Outdoor
for
Northern
California
appreciate
all
the
hard
work
blog.
A
and
team
have
done
on
this
over
the
past
four
years
to
bring
it
to
this
point
in
time
really
done
an
excellent
job
with
that
completely
in
favor
with
the
process.
H
At
this
point
with
regard
to
the
RFP
component
number
one,
those
the
17
sites
that
have
been
fully
vetted
and
now
narrowed
down
to
a
number
fewer
than
that
do
have
significant
concerns
about
the
second
portion
about
the
alternative
sites
that
can
be
proposed.
We've
provided
a
letter
to
you
about
about
that
think.
A
very
small
tweak
to
the
process
could
make
it
more
successful,
for
the
community
would
receive
the
community
benefits,
etc.
H
You'll
know
that
you're
going
to
at
least
have
the
opportunity
for
multiple
bids
per
location
and
have
a
better
opportunity
to
look
at
that
competitive
landscape
and
make
a
decision
about.
What's
going
to
be
the
you
know,
the
best
opportunity
for
the
city,
so
I
mean
that's,
that's
the
primary
concern
with
this
I
think
anything
absent.
H
N
Well,
potential
benefits
from
advertising.
We
have
to
declare
a
war
on
capitalism,
that
our
problem
is
capitalistic
propaganda
and
you
guys
are
going
ahead
with
these
electronic
billboards.
I
mean
this
is
why
we
are
in
the
jaws
of
destruction
and
we
need
to
end
capitalism
and
declare
a
climate
emergency
and
what
it
means
mayor,
Locarno
declaring
a
climate
emergency
is
we
start,
stop
thinking
about
economics.
N
We
stop
thinking
about
politics,
we
stop
thinking
about
religion,
and
we
only
think
about
biology,
physics
and
engineering,
and
what
the
science
is
telling
us
is
that
we
have
ten
years
to
reduce
our
emissions,
which
is
our
greenhouse
gases,
our
pollution,
our
cars,
our
planes,
our
trains,
our
our
movement
of
goods
in
10
years.
That
all
has
to
stop
ok.
So
we
have
a
lot
of
work
to
do
and
you
guys
are
focusing
on
billboards
which
are
a
visual
pollution
and
you
are
having
we
are
having
trouble.
N
We
are
having
an
air
apocalypse,
we
are
having
a
noise.
Armageddon
and
visual
pollution
is
part
of
it
and
we
talks
about
community
benefits.
There
are
no
community
benefits
for
for
advertising
where
we
should
go
and
go
and
spend
and
go
and
go
and
they're
so
worried
about
the
guns,
because
now
they're
worried
the
capitalism
might
be
shaking
in
its
boots,
because
people
don't
want
to
go
out
anymore.
N
They're,
not
gonna,
listen
to
the
propaganda
to
go
out
to
the
Gilroy
Garlic
Festival
or
any
of
the
other
million
things
you're
gonna
advertise
on
your
billboards,
because
we
need
to
stay
home.
So
in
some
ways
it's
the
best
thing
cuz.
We
need
to
stop,
stop
driving,
stop
flying,
stay
home
and
build
resilient
communities
by
growing
our
own
food
and
that's
where
we
need
to
be
at
and
you
had
signs
in
downtown
about
creating
thank.
P
Hello
mayor
mayor
vice
mayor
and
councilmembers,
thank
you
for
having
me
I'm
with
Becker
boards
for
an
independent
billboard
company,
a
small
company
relatively
I,
understand
the
main
intentions
of
this
RFP
are
to
some
of
the
main
intentions
are
to
increase
revenue
for
the
city
and,
perhaps,
more
importantly,
to
reduce
blight
in
the
city.
I
feel
that
the
current
RFP
can
be
improved
to
maximize
revenue
and
maximize
blight
reduction.
P
The
current
RFP
is
a
little
problematic
because
it
prohibits
all
but
a
few
companies
from
bidding
on
the
RFP,
as
there
are
only
a
handful
of
companies
that
have
existing
billboards
within
the
city.
This
is
not
allow
for
the
city
to
maximize
financial
returns.
As
smaller
time,
companies
can
often
provide
more
lucrative
and
more
creative
bids.
P
The
current
RFP
also
does
not
have
any
parameters
in
place
to
maximize
blight
reduction.
Billboards
value
are
the
visibility
in
the
traffic
count,
and
so
it
makes
more
sense
for
if
a
billboard
companies
to
reduce
blight
or
reduce
billboards
to
reduce
the
least
visible
and
lowest
traffic
count
billboards,
which,
by
definition,
would
be
the
least
lighted
billboards
and,
most
importantly,
for
me,
is
the
philosophy
behind
this
sign.
P
Companies
that
have
been
neglecting
their
inventory
for
decades
are
being
rewarded
for
their
negligence
and
given
an
advantage
over
companies
that
operate
no
billboards
within
the
city
and
operate
and
contribute
no
blight.
I
propose
to
the
staff
or
the
City
Council
to
advise
staff
to
change
some
of
the
philosophies
around
how
light
is
viewed
and
how
take
down
requirements
are
viewed.
P
Perhaps
if
a
company
having
existing
billboards
within
the
city
contributes
to
blight
and
is
considered
a
demerit
in
the
bidding
process
and
implement
at
air
based
system
for
determining
a
company's
existing
blight
contribution
based
on
the
number
of
billboards
they
operate,
then
a
company
can
a
company's
blight.
Contribution
can
be
reduced
and
their
merit
increased
by
the
company.
Removing
billboards
such
black
contribution
reduction
will
be
based
on
how
much
blight
the
remove
billboards
actually
contribute
to
blight
within
the
city.
Thank.
H
Good
afternoon,
mayor
councilmembers
and
staff,
I'm
John,
Foster
and
I'm
here
to
speak
on
behalf
of
OUTFRONT
Foster
interstate.
We
are
in
support
of
staffs
recommendation
for
a
concurrent
RFP
process.
One
for
downtown
displays
one
for
Freeway
oriented
signs
connection
with
take
downs
and
alternative
site
identification.
H
Q
A
Q
A
I
A
A
I
I
We
anticipate
that
the
timeline
will
be
longer
right
because
we'll
be
taking
in
the
list
of
potential
sites
that
companies
feel
were
either
mislabeled
or
actually
are
eligible,
and
then
we
would
have
to
filter
them
again
with
the
eligibility
criteria
that
we
did
the
first
time
and
then
after
that,
before
issuing
them
for
RFP,
like
let's
say
we
didn't
miss
a
site
or
two,
and
there
were
sites
that
were
available.
We
did
before
issuing
the
RFP.
I
We
would
have
to
do
the
environmental
clearance
on
the
site,
and
so
staffs
interpretation
of
the
direction
that
we
got
in
September
is
that
we
we
wanted
to
leave
it
open
that
there
could
potentially
be
counsel
said
you
know
if
there
are
alternative
sites.
We
want
to
leave
that
open,
but
it
will
be
on
the
proposers
to
do
the
environmental
work
and
do
all
the
legwork
associated
with
that,
and
so
in
this
new
proposal.
I
A
H
That's
our
understanding.
So
if
some
of
those
are
reopened
to
bidding
all
entities
should
do
their
own
secret
analysis
on
that
no
qualms
about
that
whatsoever,
but
all
entities
should
have
the
opportunity
to
bid
on
those
that
pass
muster
with
you.
So
if
there's
ten
that
you
want
to
open
up,
we
should
be
competing
with
all
the
other
entities
for
that
and
then
you
should
select
from
those
the
best
one
and
then
whoever
prevails
pays
for
the
sequel
analysis.
Okay,.
I
I'm
happy
to
have
planning
staff
come
down,
but
basically
of
the
thousand
sixty
two
sites
that
we
originally
started
from
planning
staff
did
their
vetting
at
that
time,
and
so
staff
doesn't
anticipate
that
any
of
those
sites
is
actually
an
eligible
site
right.
If,
if
those
sites
were
eligible,
they
were,
they
were
filtered
through
a
number
of
criteria,
and
if
those
sites
were
eligible,
they
would
have
been
brought
forward
as
part
of
the
site's
originally
clear.
I
When
we're
talking
about
alternative
sites,
staffs
interpretation
is
that
perhaps
there's
a
site
somewhere
that
was
missed
and
that
that
the
proposers
have
some
different
information
that
they
would
put
forward
and
then
staff
would
then
filter
it
through
that
criteria.
If,
in
fact,
it
met
the
criteria
and
then
there
would
be
environmental
work,
that
would
have
to
be
done,
and
that
would
be
by
the
proposer.
Great.
H
Any
other
entity
that
fit
within
what
you
would
like
to
see
just
like
for
that
opportunity
for
everybody
to
have
a
chance
to
bid
on
that,
so
that
you
can
select
among
multiple
bidders
for
for
that,
so
whatever
a
process
that
you
think
makes
that
occur,
that's
what
we
see
that's
what
we
think
is
best
for
the
community.
Thank
you
sure.
A
A
A
I
I
Requirement
is
only
in
the
alternative
site
RFP,
and
for
for
this
we
have
two
available
sites.
So
there
is
not
yes,
it's
it's
true.
If
you're
not
able
to
take
down,
you're
gonna
have
to
make
some
other
arrangements
to
participate,
but
there's
only
two
sites,
so
this
potentially
becomes
more
of
a
conversation
piece
when
the
phase
two
analysis
is
done
and
when
we're
talking
about
Phase
two
policy
that
would
be
on
privately
owned
property.
Thank.
M
Ma'am
and
I
had
checked
in
buggy.
Thank
you
ahead
of
time
to
cut
it,
determine
the
you
know,
procedure
procedural
changed.
The
Clear
Channel
was
looking
for
and
you
can
let
everybody
know
here.
The
understanding
was
that
could
add
anywhere
from
six
to
twelve
months
to
the
process
to
to
do
what
we
were
just
talking
about.
It.
M
Six
to
twelve
months,
considering
and
I
wrote
this
in
the
memo
and
I'd
like
to
move
the
joint
mem
I
spent
with
councilmember
everybody,
her
Jones
and
Councilman,
read
in
us
that
we've
been
working
on
this
for
four
years
already
and
so
I
want
to
thank
you
for
the
work
that
you've
put
in
and
really
look
forward
to
this
moving
forward
and
then
getting
into
the
next
phase
as
well.
So
that
was
my
motion.
L
Actually
Thank
You
mayor
for
asking
several
other
questions
that
I
intended
to
ask
I.
You
did
mention
something
about
if
these
non,
if
the
companies
that
don't
have
existing
billboards
wanted
to
participate
in
the
private
sector,
RFP
the
ones
that
they
are
required
to
eliminate
billboards,
what
are
the
rent?
You
said
something
that
other
arrangements,
the
words
that
you
said,
that
other
arrangements
would
have
to
be
made.
What
would
they
be?
I
mean
I.
I
Guess
it
was
just
saying
that
if,
if
there
will
be
no
RFP
for
the
privately
owned
property
right,
so
companies
will
just
approach
private
property
owners
that
do
or
don't
have
you
know
eligible
sites
and
they'll
do
agreements
between
them.
So
what
I
was
saying
is
that
if
we
as
a
city
are
going
to
require
continue
to
require
the
take
down
ratio,
then
they'll
have
to
figure
out
how
they
could
fulfill
that
takedown
ratio
without
actually
owning
the
billboards
that
are.
L
Know
I
yeah
I
have
a
kind
of
a
convoluted
question
in
regards
to
the
take
down
a
lot
of
these
billboard.
Companies
probably
have
lease
agreements
that
last
a
long
time
on
these
small,
a
small
billboards
that
they
intend
to
take
down
the
billboards
with
the
owners
of
the
properties
that
are
removed,
losing
the
revenues
have
any
recourse
to
the
city
for
losing
the
continued
revenues
from
those
billboard.
N
J
Rfp
addresses
in
that
capacity
we
are
in
a
proprietary
role,
and
so
the
city's
function
is
we
are
like
any
property
owner
trying
to
mark
it
right
through
the
property
on
the
private
property
side.
That's
coming
down
later
will
be
in
a
regulatory
role
in
that
and
that
function
as
regulators.
There
are
concerns
in
terms
of
that
we
overstep
our
bounds
and
interfere
with
a
contract
interfere
with
a
lease
that
might
impact
revenues
to
be
received
by
a
landowner.
J
If
that
were
the
case,
that
that
is
a
potential
that
is
a
potential
issue,
but
I
don't
think
we
envision
that
I
mean
I
think
the
blog
is
saying
is
that
to
the
extent
you've
got
companies
trying
to
vie
for
a
site
on
private
property?
Didn't
and
again
this
will
come
further
down.
The
road
they've
got
to
negotiate
with
either
the
existing
billboard
company
and/or
the
landowner
in
terms
of
a
greement.
Q
G
G
On
the
other
hand,
you
have
that
company
who's
already
invested
in
in
in
that
research
and
and
that
research
is
the
property
you
know
proprietary
to
them
and
and
belongs
to
them,
and
maybe
some
of
that
information
shouldn't
be
public
until
all
is
final,
so
I
just
wonder
how
will
you
manage
that
blank?
It's
like
I
I'm
concerned
about
us
not
being
so
transparent.
Maybe
in
that
RFP
process.
I
H
C
I
That
we
did
a
thorough
job
of
vetting
those
sites
and
applying
the
appropriate
kind
of
filter
criteria
to
get
to
the
17
sites
that
were
brought
forward.
So
from
staffs
perceptive
perspective,
we
don't
enter
peyt
other
sites
being
available.
There
was
a
lot
of
discussion
in
September
about
the
potential
for
alternative
sites,
and
so
our
feeling
was
actually
if
there
is
a
proposer
that
is
going
to
go.
I
I
I
Will
have
to
come
in
with
a
proposal
to
the
city
that
is
their
you
know
best
proposal
they'll
have
to
meet
all
our
criteria
and
we'll
still
be
ranking
them
based
on
the
criteria.
That's
that's
outlined
in
the
RFP,
and
so
it
will
be
very
clear
what
they'll
be
judged
on
and
then
we'll
accept
any
or
all
or
none
of
their
proposal.
Thank
you.
G
For
framing
it,
that
way,
because
I
think
that
that
makes
a
difference
for
me
when
you
said
they
are
in
a
way
getting
rewarded
for
this
additional
work
of
some
missed
opportunities
that
we
might
have
not
captured
and
in
our
efforts
to
filter
through
so
so.
Thank
you.
I
think
that
it's
sufficient
to
me
I
was
just
hoping
to
find
a
little
more
competition
in
there,
but
because
that's
always
good
for
for
the
city
of
San
Jose,
but
I
I'm
good.
With
with
that
answer.
Thank
you.
M
I
just
wanted
to
clarify
for
my
colleague
comes
from
kms.
We
actually
did
specify
that
in
the
recommendation
one
we
actually
said
permitting
lease
conditions,
so
we
wanted
it.
We
wanted
to
highlight
that
that
that's
obviously
a
concern
as
well
and
then
I
did
forget
to
ask,
but
I
just
wanted
to
see
staff
blog
if
you
could
respond
to
to
how
you
might
or
where
the
process
might
be,
to
recommendation
to
the
timeline
for
the
RFP.
In
my
memo.
I
Yes,
so
the
the
timeline
is
that
we
are
going
to
we
plan
to
release
the
RFP
in
mid-august,
and
then
we
are
looking
for
responses
back
and
by
late
September,
we'll
have
a
pre-proposal
conference
in
late
August
and
the
specific
timeline
will
be
laid
out
in
both
of
the
RFPs.
Both
rfp's
will
run
concurrently,
so
they'll
be
on
the
same
timeline
and
then
we're
anticipating
we'll
have
a
review
selection
panel.
I
We
anticipate
coming
back
to
council
with
kind
of
proposed
lease
agreements
both
with
the
sign
companies
and
if
there
are
any
amendments
to
our
lease
or
operating
agreements
with
the
stakeholder
tenants
in
kind
of
late
this
before
the
end
of
this
calendar
year
and
then
we'll
get
going
and
hopefully
have
signs
up
in
the
spring
summer
of
2020.
Thank.
M
A
M
I
think
you
know,
there's
also
an
opportunity
for
one
of
the
companies
if
they
did
have
a
lease
to
buy
out
the
lease
right.
So
it's
not
that
it's
not
precluding
it
right.
It's
just
I
heard
that
as
a
concern
and
so
I
wanted
to
enter.
That
is
right
that
leasing
that
they
have
of
these
may
be
an
issue,
and
so
what
we
really
wanted
to
emphasize
was
the
blighted
ones
and
indeed,
there's
opportunities
for
them
to
prioritize
those
through
purchasing
you're
buying
out
of
a
lease
and
that's
for
Phase,
two
of.
A
A
A
D
Right
so
my
name
is
Gavin
Ross
time
I
go
to
school
at
Hoover
middle
school,
located
at
1635,
Park
Avenue,
ladies
and
gentlemen
I
know,
council,
member
Davis
is
nodding.
Her
son
goes
there
with
me
anyway,
but
no
so
I'm
here
to
represent
the
youth
of
the
Silicon
Valley.
When
I
say
this,
there
are
many
people
that
are
here
well,
there's
a
good
amount
of
people
that
are
here
about
the
76
Rey
Street
project,
as
many
of
you
know,
located
at
76
Rey
street
is
the
middle
Brook
garden
center.
D
Now
I
got
to
ask
you
guys,
you
know
we
are
the
capital
of
a
Silicon
Valley
correct.
We
are
so.
The
thing
is:
is
we
have
room
for
a
lot
more
innovation
in
this
card
and
what
we
are
proving
when
it
comes
to
our
innovation?
Is
we
are
teaching
us
how
to
grow
our
own
food,
the
purse,
the
right
way
we
are
helping
to
solve
our
climate
crisis,
which
we
have,
and
we
are
also
helping,
at
the
same
time,
to
provide
a
better
future
for
people.
D
My
age,
I'm,
13
years
old,
and
the
thing
is
with
our
climate
change
issue.
I'm
gonna
be
suffering
the
consequences.
If
we
don't
do
this
right
and
what
we
have
been
doing
at
Middleburg
Gardens
now
for
I
believe
it
was
20
years
almost
we
have
been
shaping
the
future
for
the
Silicon
Valley.
We
have
come
up
with
ways
for
us
to
maintain
the
innovation
that
the
capital
of
the
Silicon
Valley
has
produced,
as
well
as
the
way
for
us
to
provide
a
safer,
mentally,
emotionally
and
medically
a
better
future
for
everybody
of
all
ages.
D
My
age
older,
it
doesn't
matter
the
bottom
line.
Is
we
can't
lose
a
garden
like
this,
because
when
you
get
rid
of
the
seed
you
get
rid
of
the
tree,
all
the
work
we've
been
doing
here
now
all
the
work
that
all
remit
allbrook
has
been
studying.
Who
is
the
owner
of
this
garden?
Her
45
years
of
work
is
all
going
to
go
away
and
we
can't
let
that
happen.
I'm
speaking
on
behalf
of
the
youth
of
the
Silicon
Valley,
when
I
say
this,
our
future
is
at
stake
here.
D
D
D
A
N
We
need
to
do
is
declare
a
climate
emergency.
You
know
the
kids
were
here.
The
people
who
are
here
lasts
a
couple
of
Fridays
ago
laying
their
bodies
down,
and
that
is
the
kind
of
change
that
we're
gonna
need
to
get
the
type
of
change
that
happened
during
the
civil
rights
motions.
Okay,
I
know:
all
of
these
Hispanic
people
on
our
on
our
board
are
trying
to
get
equity.
Well,
we're
talking
about
humanity.
Okay,
it's
beyond
ethnic
politics
is
what
we
have
to
do.
We're
talking
about
humanity.
N
Okay-
and
this
is
the
issue
we're
talking
about-
is
how
to
save
life
on
Earth,
okay,
it
is
not
a
minor
issue.
Okay,
we're
talking
about
potential
extinction
from
our
co2
emissions.
Okay,
it's
called
climate
emergency
and
when
you
declare
is
Tamil
Accardo,
a
climate
emergency,
different
things
can
happen
and
I've
been
telling
you
about
the
change
that
needs
to
happen.
Where
we
are.
We
do
not
talk
about
economics.
N
We
do
not
talk
about
politics
or
religion,
just
biology
physics
and
engineering
and
like
Greta
Sundberg,
the
climate
activists
says
we
need
to
have
the
emissions
going
down.
That
is,
our
job
is
to
have
the
emissions
going
down
and
that's
what
you
can
do
when
you
declare
a
climate
emergency,
you
create
a
climate
action
team
of
climate
scientists
and
then
we
create
policies
that
reduce
our
emissions
and
we
do
the
radical
change
that
needs
to
happen,
and
we
stop
everything
about.
H
H
We
are
actively
in
conversation
with
San
Jose
City
College
evergreen
College
in
West
Valley
College.
We
have
a
lot
to
offer
in
this
time
of
climate
crisis
and
ecological
collapse.
We've
had
a
great
impact
on
lowering
our
surrounding
neighborhoods
carbon
footprint
and
have
actively
addressed
many
items
in
the
general
plan
that
aren't
necessarily
addressed
in
the
climate.
Smart
plan
that
we
could
take
action
on
and
I
want
to
say
that
our
work
is
really
driven
by
youth,
and
we
would
like
to
know
how
how
San
Jose
is
youth
and
the
County
youth?
D
So
in
one
square
mile
of
San
Jose,
which
has
on
average
about
5,700
people,
we
could
use
less
than
2%
of
that
acreage
to
grow
all
the
food
and
produce
that
these
people
would
need
to
live
off
of
using
the
regenerative
organic
agriculture.
So
we
think
it's
a
very
viable
option
for
creating
local
food
in
San
Jose.
That
would
also
reduce
our
emissions
just
by
growing
local
food,
and
we
believe
this
is
a
fast
direct
way
to
teach
our
youth.
D
We
would
like
to
ask
this
council
to
set
up
a
study
session
where
we
can
explore
this
in
greater
depth
and
direct
staff
to
bring
this
session
about
with
our
community
partners
and
the
youth
of
San
Jose.
So
we
still
can
start
implementing
the
goals
that
are
in
the
current
general
plan
of
2040
to
expand
on
the
San
Jose
climate,
smart
plan
and
act
on
the
urgent
need
for
our
youth
to
learn
and
practice
sustainability
within
the
context
of
urban
agriculture
and
native
habitat
restoration.
Thank.
D
S
S
S
So
I
would
like
to
to
read
a
couple
points
about
why
this
would
be
well,
especially
supporting
first
of
all,
the
70s
a
if
there's
76
racist,
read
project.
So
it's
it's
about
making
a
thriving
community
and
thriving
land
use
which
would
have
a
diverse
and
innovative
economy
which
would
have
cultural
attractions,
cultural
resource
and
innovative
and
an
innovative
food
system
in
which
you
could
control
environment.
Agricultural
systems
grow
foods
also
involve
students
from
from
the
whole
city
into
this
and
to
the
design
of
this.
A
D
Whether
we
have
a
demand
or
housing
yeah,
which
is
getting
more
expensive
than
ever.
My
first
question
is
how
not
to
hit
the
people.
You
know
pockets.
You
know
we
spend
a
lot
of
money
renting.
Also
we
spend
a
lot
of
money.
You
know
try
to
keep
up
with
those
salaries
expenses,
but
the
thing
is,
as
economists,
all
my
life
since
I
was
a
student
looking
for
a
project
last
present
long-term
projects
for
affordable
housing
is
how
to
build
those
resources
permanently.
It
means
you
know,
we
have
a
corporation's.
D
D
P
C
P
And
again
the
same
thing.
I
mean
I,
make
my
salads
out
of
that
place.
We're
not
saying
keep
that
place.
I
think
that
conversation
has
already
been
held
and
it
depends
on
other
people,
but
that
model
is
what
we
want
to
keep
and
encourage
you
all
to
consider.
There's
another
section
that
talks
about
Community,
Design
and
access
to
scenic
resources
and
again
for
I.
P
Think
for
obvious
reasons,
if
you
guys
know,
what's
there,
it's
self
explanatory,
then,
in
terms
of
education
services
it
kinda,
like
comes
back
to
the
people
a
little
bit,
it's
an
incredible
place
where
people
gather
and
they
talk
like
we
do
and
share
ideas
and
really
learn
how
what
it
is
to
be
sustainable
in
this
planet.
We
just
had
a
summer.
P
Camp
I
was
one
of
the
counselors
in
the
camp,
and
we
learned
so
many
things
like
from
making
paper
with
our
hands
too
many
many
other
very
important
things
and
then
there's
another
section
that
refers
to
like
parks,
open
space
and
stuff,
like
that,
that's
pretty
self-explanatory,
too
anyways.
Thanks
for
your
attention.
Thank
you.
