Thank

for
that.
E
Introduction.,
hello
everybody.:
we
belong
to
the
puma
hills,
interac
club
of
district
by
170
interact
as
a
service
club
within
many
bay
area,
high
schools
that
strive
to
empower
youth
leaders
and
bring
change
to
the
community..
We
bring
forward
change
by
designated
international
and
community
projects
every
single
year
that
raises
in
which
every
interac
club
raises
money
and
awareness
through
fundraisers.
and
our
biggest
fundraiser
yet
was
for
leadership
conference
where
a
thousand
contractors
together
garnered
together
to
learn
about
how
to
be
a
leader
and
what
we're
working
towards
this
year.
E
Our
interest
international
project
is
the
ripple
effect
which
focuses
on
bringing
lasting,
clean
water
infrastructure
to
honduras..
Our
community
project
is
called
cultivating
communities,,
which
focuses
on
food
security
in
the
bay
area..
This
saturday
is
earth
day
which
celebrates
earth
and
seeks
awareness
for
the
environmental
protection..
E
F
Everywhere
but
clean
drinkable
water
is
actually
a
very
finite
resource..
In
fact,,
less
than
one
percent
of
the
earth's
water
is
able
to
be
used
by
humans,
because
most
of
it
is
salt,
water
or
too
difficult
to
access.
to
reiterate,
it's
an
essential
resource,
especially
when
it
comes
to
meeting
the
needs
of
individuals
and
society.
clean
drinking
water
is
a
human
right
and
the
basis
of
a
healthy
life..
Access
to
clean
water
is
the
foundation
for
the
systems
of
sanitation
and
hygiene
that
prevent
countless
diseases
around
the
world..
F
F
F
G
So
this
year,
intake
by
170
is
partnering
with
water
first,,
a
global
nonprofit
organization
committed
to
true
equity
and
water
access..
We
strive
to
enable
the
people
of
honduras
to
implement
and
sustain
community
management,
integrating
clean
water,
supplies,,
toilets
and
hygiene
education.
By
supporting
water
versus
honduras
initiative,,
we
will
enable
communities
to
invest
local
labor
to
dig
miles
of
pipelines..
This
infrastructure
will
dramatically
improve
hygiene
conditions
and
household
flora
will
flourish
as
women
and
young
children
can
pursue
education
instead
of
spending
hours
collecting
water..
G
We
do
our
part,
the
community
service
events
that
range
from
cleaning
up
at
a
park
to
raising
funds
through
various
events.
This
year
we
have
been
able
to
raise
fifteen
hundred
dollars
which
will
be
donated
to
our
projects..
However,
we
are
just
one
of
many
clubs
in
the
area
that
band
together
to
maximize
our
impact.
Together,
we
take
on
these
international
challenges
to
serve
the
community
called.
H
H
Every
subsequent
drop
creates
a
bigger
and
bigger
ripple
of
change.,
we're
doing
our
part
to
bring
forth
more
water.
But
we
would
also
like
you
to
be
part
of
saving
the
water,
this
earth
day..
We
would
like
everyone
here
to
be
more
considerate
of
water
usage
for
those
who
don't
have
the
same
privilege
as
we
do,.
Thank
you
for
inviting
us
to
celebrate
earth
day
with
the
san
jose
city.

made
significant
contributions
to
our
community
by
providing
a
unique
and
culturally
rich
experience
for
audiences
of
all
ages..
I
I
These
opportunities
encourage
personal
growth,
while
also
providing
a
pathway
for
dancers
to
become
local
leaders..
The
leadership
attributes
students
learned
during
their
time
with
most
mestizos
are
evident
in
a
wide
range
of
success.
Dancers

Would
you
like
to
say
a
few
words?
I'd.
J
A
L
Thousand
americans
are
killed
and
distracted
driving
crashes
each
year
and
drivers
who
use
handheld
devices
are
for
times
more
likely
to
get
into
severe
crashes.
as
a
reminder,.
You
can
use
your
phones
driving
mode
to
meet,
calls
and
notify,
while
you're
driving.
and
don't
forget
about
texting.
If
you
must
text,
please.
L
Pull
over
and
do
so
at
the
side
of
the
road..
You
know
when
you
text
you
look
down
for
seconds
and
then
in
those
couple
of
seconds
you
can
take
someone's
life
and
that's
going
to
change
your
life
and
it's
going
to
change
their
life
forever..
So
please
put
down
your
cell
phones.,
don't
just
drive,
drive,
drive
tracted.
L
L
Use
of
cell
phones
and
other
devices
create
all
three
types
of
distractions.
while
hands.
Free
devices
may
eliminate
manual
and
visual
distraction,.
They
do
not
reduce
cognitive
distraction.
in
fact,.
A
2012
white
paper
from
the
national
safety
council
found
that
how
hands
free
phones
offer
no
safety
benefit,
while
driving
and
drivers
talking
on
cell
phones,
make
more
mistakes
than
drivers
talking
to
passengers.,
it's
important
to
point
out
that
speeding
is
still
the
number
one
cause
of
fatal
and
severe
crashes
in
san
jose..
So
even
if.
L
You
aren't
driving
distracted,
you're,
not
driving
safely,
if
you're
exceeding
the
speed
limit.
So
please
watch
the
speed
limit
when
you're
driving
to
coupled
with
dangerous
behavior
like
speeding,,
the
dangers
of
distracted
driving
become
more
amplified
for
those
within
and
outside
the
vehicle..
Many
think
that
speeding
and
distracted
driving
is
a
problem
for
the
other
guy..
Nothing
could
be
further
from
the
truth..
We
all
share
responsibility
to
keep
our
roadways
safe
by
paying
attention
when
driving
and
slowing
down
while
drivers
have
a
responsibility
in
modifying
their
driving
behavior,.
L
The
city
of
san
jose
must
do
more
to
improve
safety
on
our
streets
so
that,
when
drivers
inevitably
drive
unsafely,
it
doesn't
have
to
result
in
a
serious
injury
or
fatality
to
accept
this

Be
brought
forward
by
councilor
jiménez,
who
would
like
to
adjourn
today's
meeting
in
memory
of
anne
marie
demopolis,,
a
district
resident
who
devoted
thirty
two
years
of
her
life
to
her
students
at
abraham,
lincoln,
high
school
teaching,
choir
and
directing
productions
as
the
school's
vocal
director

Mohammedans.
Thank
you.
O
For
miss
k,
as
she
was
lovingly
called
by
the
many
students
whose
lives
she
touched,
was
an
award
winning
music
and
choir
teacher..
She
passed
away
after
a
short
illness
on
march
29,
twenty
twenty
three.
She
was
fifty
seven
years
old
and
a
long
time,
san
jose
district
resident
miss
kelly,
attended,
branum
high
school..
After
that
she
went
on
to
get
a
b.a.
O
For
the
last
thirty
two
years
she
has
been
devoted
to
her
students
at
abraham,
lincoln
high
school,
where
she
taught
and
conducted
all
the
choir
classes
offered
served
as
a
vocal
director
for
all
of
lincoln
musicals,
theater
productions..
During
her
time
at
lincoln,
she
led
an
award
winning
choir,
which
sung
all
over
the
country
and
internationally.
miss
k's
legacy
runs
deep..
She
was
an
amazing
educator
with
high
expectations
and
dedication..
O
Same
time
she
was
laughter
and
silliness..
She
was
loved
and
a
safe
harbor
for
so
many
she
believed
deeply
in
equity
and
never
hesitated
to
speak
up
for
those
who
had
not
yet
found
their
voice,.
She
is
already
deeply,
deeply
missed
by
all
who
knew
her..
Her
absence
reminds
us
of
the
fragility
of
life,
but
it
also
reminds
us
of
the
need
to
choose
kindness,
to
build
bridges
and
to
appreciate
the
small
things
it
reminds
us
to
love
without
limits
and
to
put
others
before
self..
It
reminds
us
that
we
are
connected..
O
O
For
those
that
knew
her.,
if
you
find
yourself
longing
for
miss
k,
look
no
further
than
reluctant
students
of
a
beginning,
choir
class,
the
ones
who
question
if
they
have
the
strength
to
actually
open
their
mouths
and
sing.
It
is
there
that
she
will
always
be
perched
on
the
shoulders
of
those
students
whispering
in
their
ears
with
enthusiasm.
You
are
enough-
and
I
think,
there's
some
folks
here
that
knew
her
that
likely
present
and
certainly
online..
So
thank
you..
Thank
you.
A
S
Exactly
what
they
talked
about
in
nineteen?
Eighty
four
is
george
orwell's
1984
in
the
ministry
of
truth..
What
you
guys
did
is
you
went
back
and
you
got
all
of
the
public
comments,.
All
of
those
thousands
of
hours
that
I
have
spent
and
other
members
of
the
community
have
spent
researching
and
using
the.
S
P
Happy
medium
for
today
to
comment
on
passwords
and
the
previous,
I
thought
you
were
working
on
a
plan
to
reintroduce
the
meeting
minutes
with
a
conclusion
of
the
public
comment
again,
and
I
know
it's
an
issue
you
don't
well
in
the
past.
It's
just
a
matter
of
taking
the
time
and
effort
to
replace
the
public
comment
back
into
the
minute
process
again
and
get
this
squared
away.
good
work
and
working
on
that
I'd
be
glad
to
help
out
with
that
process
to
speak
about
other
items,
about
accountability
in
our
public,
process.
right.
P
P
My
hope
that
I
don't
know
if
it's
quite
possible
but
can
can
the
proclamation
of
a
local
emergency
cannot
be
used
specifically
for
individual
practices
within
a
city,
government
and
community
process,
for
instance,
for
the
public
meeting
process?.
Can
it
be
used
specifically
for
that
in
the
future,
to
help
with
the
zoome
issues
to
ensure
that
zoom
can
continue
to
be
a
public
process??
There
are
emergency
issues
involved
and
difficult
for
people
to
get
the
meeting,
sometimes
at
the
county
level..
P
That's
the
kind
of
things
that
I
hope
this
can
help
address
real
good
in
those
efforts
in
working
with
the
state
to
figure
out
such
legal
questions
and
on
a
federal
level.
It's
my
understanding
with
the
sjp
wasta
that
there's
a
lot
of
federal
agencies
involved,
possibly
in
how
this
was
initially
investigated.
P
The
same
federal
agency
work
going
on,
I
think
in
the
new
york
area
and
they're
having
the
same
issues
of
taking
police
discrimination
issues
going
on
there.
good
luck.,
you're,
doing
community
work
in
antioch,
a
whole
community
process..
Good
luck.
How
we
can
do
that
here
in
san
jose
as
well.

you,,

to
environmental
protection
and
stewardship
in
the
work
we
do
every
day
throughout
many
city
departments
and
programs
and
partnerships
with
local

One
of

as
we
often
call
it

an
initiative
to
clean

by
supporting

efforts
at
reclaiming
their
public

and
empowering

to

in

U
U
A
A
A
council
members,
tora's
or
teased
one
and
candelas
and-
and
I
submitted
a
group
memo.,
there
is
just
one
note
I
want
to
make
on
the
first
recommendation,
which
is
that
we
have
since
learned
that,
because
the
bid
did
not.
A
A
P
S
S
Deal
with
the
issue?
I
mean,
I
think
I
think
we
need
to
discuss
along
with
a
graffiti
of
what's
going
on
in
these
videos,
and
why
are
these
kids
tagging
on
walls.?
One
of
the
reasons
why
they're
taking
on
was
it
is
the
poor
person's
weight,,
the
people
that
are
experiencing
the
impoverishment..
It
is
their
way
of
expressing
themselves
and
taking
ownership
of
space..
S
That's
what
the
graffiti
is
about.
it's
about
when
you
start
gentrifying
these
areas
and
they
start
seeing,
they
don't
have
no
ownership
of
anything,
absolutely
nothing.,
and
you
meet
certain
that
one
of
the
ways
that
one
of
the
ways
that
the
people
in
the
barrio
assert
their
sense
of
belonging
to
a
space
is.
S
S
S
I
I
It's
important
when
I
worked
in
the
california
state
legislature
under
then
state
senator
bill,.
I
led
a
working
group
that
dealt
with
the
issue
on
graffiti
abatement
services
and
was
a
contractor
who
was
a
contractor
who
caltrans
has
which
staff
is
well
aware.?
So
I
guess
my
question
would
be
instead
of
directing
staff
to.

studying
that
is
part
of
recommendation
number
four
to
look
at
incentives,
as
well
as
penalties
or
remedies
for
not
meeting
performance
targets
that
would
come
back.
That
would
be
a
study
and
be
something
that
we
can
look
into
to
include
in
a
future
procurement
action
for
these
services.
ok,.
I
Ok,
so
so
you'd
be
coming
back
to
us
with
the
with
the
result
of
that,
just
to
clarify
or
to
figuring
out
how
we
can
do
that
in
future
contracts.
Is,
I
guess
what
the
point
of
trying
to
trying
to
do
with
this
type
of
contracts
is
basically
give
our
contractor
an
incentive
to
you
know,
meet
or
exceed
our
while,
potentially
saving
the
city
and
taxpayers
money..
Thank.

We
agree
with
the
concept..
We
think
it's
great.,
the
real
problem
was
it
wasn't
in
the
actual
official
request
for
a
proposal,
so
we'd
be
adding
something
that
might
have
otherwise
attracted
other
people
to
bid..
So
it's
not
a
fair
process
right
now..
If
you
look
at
number
four
and
you
see,
item
e
on
the
end-
approaches
that
incentivize
vendors
to
exceed
slac,.
We
think
that
that
falls
neatly
into
that
section.

I'll
have
olympia

Our
division
managers
speak
to
that
quickly..
She
was
involved
with
that
back
when
it
happened.
I
remember
from
tv,
but
I
actually
was
an
npr
and
yes
at
that
point,
but
I
thought
it
was
pretty
neat,
so
I'm
glad
you
bring
it
up.,
but
olympia,.
Can
you
tell
us
where
that
went?
X
Project
to
see
if
we
can
have
the
drone
help
us
paint
out
the
bridges
on
the
freeway
systems.,
as
you
can
imagine,.
Those
are
complex
and
complicated
for
us
to
address
the
graffiti
on
an
ongoing
basis..
We
did
have
two
people
that
were
in
the
drone
competition..
They
did
not
form
a
company,
but
it's
something
that
a
lot
of
large
cities
across
america
do
discuss
is
looking
at
how
we
can
is
drones
or
other
forms
of
technology
to
help
us
abate
graffiti,
and
it's
something
that
will
definitely
put
on
our
list
to
keep
looking
for.
A
Q
V
That
is
something
that
I've
started
to
have
conversations
with
our
purchasing
division
on,
especially
as
it
relates
to
services
service
contract,
where
we
know
that
there's
an
interest
in
city
council
in
our
community
to
see
results
and
to
be
able
to
measure
those
results..
So
that's
something
that
we've
discussed
and
we're
going
continue
to
follow
up
on
as
we
develop
the
rfp
with
departments
ensuring
that
there's
some
consideration
for
service
level
agreements
as
well
as
metrics
and
targets
that
we
can
aim.
For.
A
Just
before
we
vote
that
graffiti
protective
coatings,
g.p.s.
has
been
a
great
partner
over
the
last
decade
plus
and
in
fact,
when
you
talk
about
sla
is
one
of
the
things
I
was
impressed
to
see
is
that
they
do
meet.
They
have
met
their
72
hour,
response
time,
target
or
sla
service
level
agreement
over
80
percent
of
the
time,
which
is
good
and
obviously
we'd,
love
to
incentivize
them
to
get
to
85,
90
percent,
and
I
think,
to
various
points
made
up
here.
A
We
should
be
thinking
about
standard
services
that
way
with
incentives
in
either
direction
save
money
if
they're
underperforming
for
example.,
but
I
do
think
they've
they've
been
a
great
partner.,
looking
forward
to
also
following
up
on
the
other
rex
in
the
group,
memmo
around
better
partnering
with
and
even
beginning
to
kind
of,
evaluate
and
score
the
performance
of
partner
agencies
and
looking
at
creative
solutions.
Other
cities
have
embraced
that
we
can
learn.
From.
so
appreciate
the
staff's
work
on
this
and
the
collaboration
of
my
colleagues
who
coauthored
the
group
memo
with
that.
O
A
C
A
Y
and
before
we
get
started,.
I
also
just
want
to
thank
and
acknowledge
former
mayor
licadho
and
former
vice
mayor
jones
for
really
being
early
advocates
for
taking
a
look
at
an
innovative
way
to
make
that
kind
of
connection
that
we're
bringing
to
council
today..
So
I
really
want
to
thank
them
for
early
leadership
and
advocacy
on
this.
I'll
turn
it
over
to
the
team.

all
of

is
a
linchpin
to

development
as
a
key
component
in
creating
an
equitable

but
our
current
system
is
not
yet
up
to
the
challenge..
Most
people
cannot
meaningfully
live
outside
of
their

They
cannot
live

very
focused
right
now
on
the
art
phase,
two
eastridge
right
well
in
the
other
capital
and
operating
projects
for
the
existing

and
you
know
the
city
is
looking
to
to
find
that
innovative
project
delivery
and
technology
solutions
that
ramsey
was
talking
about..
We
also
actually
better

for
going
out
to

You
know
the

as
are
the

streets,.
The
construction
permitting
and
the
long
line
the
long
term
operating
franchise
for
the
operator
would
all
be
things
that
need
to
be
worked
with
the
city..
So
if
it
was
a
transaction,
they'd
have
to
come
to
the
city,
anyway.
we're
really
pushing.
AA
The
fish
for
this

not
only
for
the
the

you
know
what's
happening
with
the
airport
rebounding
from
vancouver,
are
looking
at
their
long
term
expansion
plans,
potentially
new
terminals,
deardon
integrated
station.,
they're,
looking
at
rebuilding
and
expanding
the
station
and
the
amount
of
development
in
the
deardon
area..
If
we're
moving
forward,
we
can
design
with
and
integrate
with
all
of
those.
if
not,
we're
going
to
have
very
limited
land
availability
and
trying
to
work
our
way
around
those.

They
have
ongoing

operating

are
much
higher
than

Over
time
we
went
out
to

asking
for

was
significant

the
technologies
they
brought
in

are
based
on

one
of

the
boeing

which
builds
the

didn't
make
through

In
this
review,
we
were
looking
to
have
a
joint
the
joint

part
of
what
we
asked

AA

For
twelve
times
the

showed
they
really
weren't
willing
to
invest
in
project
development
with
their
own
money
at
risk,
and
they
also
weren't
very
financially
feasible
to

we're
recommending

They
don't

for
a

of

later
they
hold
it
for

of

the
day
that
I've
been
looking
forward
to
for
over
three

Our
goal
at

is
to
provide
the
best
ride
in
the

at
the
lowest
cost.
We
can

the
lowest

possible.,
our
vision
is
to
connect

education,
care
and
each
other..
We
think
of
this
as
public
transit
for
everyone
everywhere
at
glide

We
believe
we
must
start
with
the
passenger
experience
first
and
refine
it
to
an
art
and
then
work
backwards
to
the

I
wish

will
evolve
the
concept
of

stage,
starting
with

It
is
your

set
that

Understand
the
purpose
of
this
project
is
aiming
to
reduce
costs,
which
is
important.,
but
it's
also
important
to
remember
that
you
do
get
what
you
pay
for
and
while
a
great
separated
apm
may
cost
more,
it's
worth
pursuing,
especially
if
the
project
tends
to
extend
down
the
stevens

san

corridor..
It's
the
stevens
creek
san

corridor,
deserves
to
have
high
quality,
high
capacity
rapid
transit.
So
please
continue
to
explore
options
for
this
project,
even
if
they
cost
a
little
bit
more.
Then
what
we
would
like.

AI
AI
The
airport
in
which,
in
this
case
it
will
be
a
much
faster
commute
because
you
don't
need
to
invest
additional
monies
into
a
new
alignment
between
the
airport
and
downtown
and
at
the
same
time,
it
will
also
allow
the
va
to
use
the
five
hundred
eighty
five
connections
between
the
airport
and
the
bart
station
at
verizon.
And
hopefully
you

the
while

is
already
in

I'd
like
to
thank
the
first
speaker
for
attending
and
proposing
a
legitimate,
very,,
very
coherent
argument
against
this
project..
I
have
a
few
issues
with
it..
One
of
them
is
that
it
circumvented
the
entire
democratic
process..
What
you
did
is
you
sold
a
lie
to
the
voters.
yeah,.
Let's
vote
for
bhargav
barr.
yeah,
yeah,
yeah
yeah..
Ok,
then,
as
things
started,
moving
along
deardon.
S
S
Separate
those-
I
don't
trust
you,
because
you're
human
and
you're
going
to
lie
and
you're
going
to
deceive
the
public
and
continue
to
use
public
monies
and
public
funds
to
fund
projects
that
never
went
through
the
democratic
process..
Now,
if
you
want
to
start
practicing
fascism
and
tyranny,,
that's
fine.,
we
can
go
there,
but
don't
do
that
in
masqueraded
as
democracy..

Good
afternoon.
cancel
this
connecter
featuring
autonomous
vehicles,
I
believe,
is
a
step
in
the
wrong
direction
or
translations
that
we
citizens
deserve..
I
was
left
out
of
life,
a
life
long
resident
of
the
city..
I've
used
the
airport
countless
times
and
yes,.
I've
always
wondered
why
no
real
connection
between
the
terminals
and
the
light
rail
station
of
metro
airport
existed
to
begin..
The
contractor
known
as
glide
ways
proposes
a
meager
fifty
two
by
forty
eight
inches
of
floor
space
for
each
pod,
barely
enough
for
four
individuals
and
small
luggage.
AJ
AJ
AJ
A
better
solution
that
I
and
many
other
people
in
the
transit
community
have
suggested
and
have
proposed
is
a
better
alternative
to
shuttle
passengers
between
dehradun
and
our
lovely
minetta
airports
via
an
express
bus
service,
an
extension
of
the
light
rail
system,
or
perhaps
a
smaller
and
more
cost
effective
people
mover
system
to
the
existing
metro
airport
station
on
the
vte
light
rail..
These
solutions
are
more
cost,
effective,
are
more
comfortable
and
are
proven
through

for

billion
dollars.
If
we
were
to
invest
that
in
personal
rapid
transit
technology,
we
could
cover
many,
many
square
miles..
In
fact,
using
the
particular
lower
cost
flavor
that
we
anticipate
using
here
in
milpitas,
you
could
cover
100

square

even
with
a
somewhat
more
expensive

AL
Good
afternoon.,
I
live
near
cahill
park
and
I
fly
to
san
jose
from
time
to
time,
so
I'm
definitely
interested
in
a
transit
connection
between
deardon
station
and
the
airport,
but
I
feel
that
plenaries
technologies
aren't
suitable
for
this
project
and
the
city
should
not
move
forward
with
the
predevelopment
agreement.
So
the
vehicles
they're
proposing
are
just
not
suitable
for
mass
transit
system,,
especially
a
line
going
to
the
airport.
AL
It's
ridiculously
narrow
and
I
can
see
the
potential
tipping
over
if
they
say
hit
a
pothole
or
dealt
with
stiff
winds
on
the
guideway
or
flanary
could
widen
them.
But
then
they'd
have
to
widen
the
guideway
to
and
we'd
be
approaching
the
cost
levels
of
a
conventional
people
mover
system..
Again,
they're
also
saying
these
vehicles
are
going
be
autonomous,
but
autonomous
road
vehicles
with
rubber
tires
and
conventional
steering
like
plenaries
proposing,
have
been
shown
to
be
very
unreliable.
AL
additionally,.
They
want
the
vehicles
to
be
battery
powered
two,
which
means
we'd
have
to
use
valuable
land
near
our
train
station
or
the
airport
to
set
up
charging
people,
and
even
if
the
system
does
work,,
it
has
insufficient
capacity
and
we
don't
want
to
replace
one
bus
with
ten
cramped
pods..
I
appreciate
the
fiscal
responsibility
from
the
city
council,
but
for
a
capital
cost
of
nothing
city
could
work
would
be
to
implement
a
shuttle
between
deardon
in
the
airport,
and
I
hope
the
city
council
pursues
that
strategy.
Instead..
AM
My
name
is

I
express
support
for
the
predevelopment
agreement
at
the
ground
station
to
airport
connect
the
project
we
have
seen
across
the
country
where
infrastructure
projects
become
convenient,
sbn
through
public
private
partnerships
in
boston,,
detroit,,
st.
louis
among
others
..
I
hope
council
will
view
this
project
as
nominee
for
the
guadalupe
river
park,
and
we
hope
that
through
the
process,
we
could
come
to
a
vision,
perhaps
of
a
station
park
and
airport
connector..
AM
We
recognize
that
there
are
many
details
in
the
alignment
and
its
potential
impacts
to
park
used
and
the
environment,
and
we
hope
that
the
pedia
process
will
provide
opportunities
for
community
input
and
we
appreciate
the
proactive
outreach
from
the
private
partnership
and
we
look
forward
to
collaborating
on
the
stations
that
uplift,
our
priorities..
Thank
you.

But
the
point
is
that
there's
many
small
vehicles
in
the

they
operate
as

They
don't
require
the
same
level
of
autonomy
as

street
as
a
vehicle
trying
to
run
on

They
just
need
to

I
love
the
concept
of
ondemand
transportation,
allowing
people
to
show
up
any
time
instead
of
being
tied
to
a
strict
bus
schedule..
I
love
the
safety
aspect.
I
love
the
efficiency
of
this
system..
A
large
bus
isn't
efficient
unless
it's
for
this
system
can
be
efficient
even
during
off
peak
hours..
This
is
a
first
step
at
the
system
will
need
to
be
extended
to
other
parts
of
the
city
to
provide
the
full
benefits.,

this
is

Thank
you,
mayor
and
council
for
the
opportunity
to
speak
today..
My
name
is
crystal
conway.,
I'm
with
the
san
jose
chamber
of
commerce..
We
are
here
today
and
strong
support
for
the
staff
recommendation
on
item
five
point
to
the
sjc
dehradun
connector
project..
The
chamber
has
been
a
strong
supporter
of
the
airport
connector
project
since
the
voters
approved
it
as
part
of
the
last
several
transportation
sales
tax
measures.,
the
approach
the
city
is
taking
to
pursue.
AQ
This
agreement
will
attract
private
sector
investors
and
innovation,
to
deliver
a
public
transit
system
that
effectively
connects
riders
to
their
destinations
and
has
measurable
outcomes
with
accountability
for
achieving
its
goals..
The
city
of
san
jose
is
a
leader
in
innovation,
and
this
connector
project
will
bring
new
innovation
to
our
transportation
system
and
create
an
option
for
san
jose
travelers
that
gets
them
out
of
their
cars
and
into
transit..
The
system
also
provides
that
last
mile
connection
to
the
deardon
station,
which
will
connect
people
to
the
train
and
to
downtown
san
jose.
AQ
N
Where
you're
coming
from
especially
the
people
who
advocate
this
project.
however,,
I
believe
that
even
if
we
are
conducting
a
one,
major
transportation
hub
at
another
major
transportation
hub
and
a
sort
of
the
last
mile
connection-
and
it
helps
revitalize
central
san
jose,,
I
still
think
that's
the
wrong
way
to
do
it..
So,
for
starters,
it
is
not
transit..
It
is.
N
It
is
really
a
different
form
of
a
car
in
that
the
pod
can
hold
for
people
just
like
cars,,
nothing
more
and
much
less
they're
called
personally..
So
this
is
what
I
believe
completely
destroys
the
ridership
of
these
pods,
which
is
that
when
they're
called
personally,
each
person
won't
just
choose
to
get
in
a
pod.,
they
call
it
person
with
three
strangers,
because
when
transit
comes
at
measured
time
intervals,
everyone
goes
on
at
once..
One
is
a
personally
called
car..
Only
one
person
going
to
go
on
things.
N
Another
issue
is
the
car
themselves,
are
run
by
batteries.
Batteries.
the
production
of
lithium
ion
batteries
is
not
good
for
the
environment
and
see.
Of
course,
electric
vehicles
are
better
than
gas
operate
vehicles,
but
they
are
still
inferior
to
electric
trains..
Electric
trains
have
been
around
since
this
19th
century..
Electric
trains
are
more
carbon
efficient
than
what
we
believe
to
be
these
new
vehicles.
They
transport
far
more
people
because
on
a
larger
train
you
get
the
major
bonus
of
being
able
to
have
people
stand
up
when
there's
an
incredible
amount
of
people
passing..
N
AR
AR
Very
enthusiastic
about
an
airport,
connector
or
the
connection
between
the
airport
and
dehradun.
however,
my
main
concern.
I
actually
have
two
concerns.
for
starters,.
We
already
have
pre
existing
infrastructure
that
could
be
improved
on
the
light
rail
being
stunted
and
the
bus
service
in
brooklyn
could
be
enhanced
in
a
way
that
serves
the
airport.
another
issue.
I.
AR
Recall
something
similar
occurring
with
jacksonville,
but
they
themselves
have
also
yet
to
come
up
with
any
tangible
proof
of
concept
that
these
pods
would
not
only
be
efficient
but
also
reduce
traffic.
and
just
to
kind
of
go
back
to
what
someone
had
mentioned
earlier,.
This
is
a
gadget
mind
and
good
luck,
trying
to
stuff
an
entire
family
with
multiple
packages.
P
P
Point
of
view-
and
it's
my
feeling
that
this
is
an
issue
that
really
has
to
concern
the
veto
and
that
we
have
to
really
have
sensitive
caring
conversations
about
the
week
when
talking
about
these
things
.,
I
think
their
feelings
are
hurt,
as
they
should
be..
I
think
we
we
are
just
in
real
overhaul
of
how
to
build
the
future
of
our
morale
around
the
issues
and
issues
of
the
future
of
the
light
rail..
I
think
there's
way
to
the
salvation
and
create
a
good
light
rail
system
that
you
know,,

public
transit
and
alternative
transit
advocate
and
I'm

transportation
planner..
I
work
as
a

francisco..
I'm
out
work
right
now,
but
I
wanted
to
comment.
I'm
a
huge
proponent
of
big
transformative,
transportation
infrastructure,
this
connector
the
major
red
flag
and
that
it
doesn't
seem
like
there's
any
integration
when
bta
or
any
sort
of
you
planning
at
the
outset,
working
with
our
existing
county
agency

Comprised
of
so
many
talented,
dedicated
people
and
that's
just
a
tremendous
red
flag
and
the
fact
that.
AS
Working

everything

again

to

it's
not
for
the

tikrit
thank
you,,
anthony.
good.
AT
Afternoon.,
thank
you
to
the
mayor
city,
council
and
city
staff
for
allowing
me
this
opportunity
to
speak.
first
of
all,,
I'm
a
big
supporter
of
public
transit
and
a
proponent
of
investment
in
youth
services.,
I'd
like
to
echo
the
concerns
that
have
already
been
raised
about
investing
public
dollars
in
speculative
technology
that
has
yet
to
actually
be
successfully
deployed
anywhere
in
the
world..
AT
however,,
due
to
the
private
nature
of
the
proposed
system,.
Many
of
the
rides
that
actually
end
up
being
fulfilled
by
this
technology.
If
it
ends
up,
would
still
be
single
occupancy..
I
think
the
best
way
to
kind
of
drive
home.
This
point
is
with
the
simple
thought
experiment..
So
the
year
is
twenty.
Thirty
five
to
passengers
arrive
at
your
own
station
en
route
to
see
one
hills:
an
electric
autonomous
ev
from
wammo
and
another
health,
an
electric
autonomous
from
highways..
AT
Under
the
current
proposal,
it
seems
like
one
of
these
trips
could
be
tied
up
to
the
city's
vmt
and
single
occupancy
rider
metrics
and
the
other
would
not.,
and
I
don't
think
the
current
city
policy
really
provides
a
strong
justification
for
treating
these
scenarios
so
differently..
So
if
the
city
does
decide
to
move
forward
with
this
project,
I'd
encourage
the
city
to
work
on
rationalizing
this
distinction
and
updating
all
relevant
city
policies
to
kind
of
factor
in
how
personal,
rapid
transit
really
factors
into
it,
addresses
our
cities
canticles..
A
Introductory
comments
before
handing
it
over
to
my
colleague,
councilor
davis,
whose
district
this
project
would
be
you
know,
start
by
just
saying
I
love
public
transit..
I
have
relied
on
busses
and
trains,
my
entire
life,
starting
at
thirteen
years
old,
taking
multiple
public
busses
from
santa
cruz
county
over
to
san
jose
for
high
school
and
since
then
have
used
busses
and
trains
throughout
my
life
to
commute
to
work
and
get
around..
A
A
A
A
And
whether
or
not
this
will
work
for
san
jose
and
our
residents.
and
you
know,
when
you
think
about
the
role
or
the
mission
of
an
entity
like
vtec
or
the
city,
which
isn't
just
a
transit
operator,
which
is
a
congestion
management
agency,
and
I
think
it's
it's
the
mission
of
vti
and
it's
the
mission
of
the
city
of
san
jose
to
think
about
how
we
enable
and
empower
our
residents
to
go
about
their
daily
lives
in
a
way,
that's
most
convenient
and
productive
and
solve
problems
for
people
fundamentally..
A
A
This
is
not
to
me
just
about
sideways
or
plenary,
or
even
the
train
station
or
the
airport..
I
think
that's
a
pretty
obvious
use
case.,
but
this
is
really
about
learning
about
the
really
significant
technological
trends
that
are
happening
in
our
world
and
thinking
about
applications
here.
That
might
benefit
our
residents,
which
is
fundamentally
what
this
is
all
about..
We
may
get
a
little
bit
down
the
road
here
and
after
we've
explored
it
say
there
are
a
variety
of
reasons
why
this
doesn't
make
sense.
Great.,
it's
a
pretty
minimal
cost
to
really
foley
understand
that..
A
So
I
just
I
want
to
start
there,
which
I
just
to
frame
that
up
for
folks
this
is
not
some
huge
risky
commitment..
This
is
not
us
in
any
way
wanting
to
undermine
our
public
transit
agency..
I
think
there's
a
lot
of
promising
innovation
here
that
we
should
be
foley
exploring
and,
frankly,
we're
behind
a
lot
of
other
cities
that
have
gone
much
farther
down
some
of
these
roads
than
we
have..
So
with
that,
I
want
to
turn
it
over
to
my
colleague,
councilor
davis,
to
see
a
little
more.
thank
you,
mayor.
AU
AU
AU
Z
Things
we
would
like
to
stick
to
the
shorter
time
frame
as
much
as
we
can,
but
there's
a
lot
of
information.
We
need
to
gather
here.
right?,
there's
a
lot
of
all
these
questions
that
are
being
brought
up..
Is
this
the
right
technology??
Is
it
viable?
you
know,?
Is
it
just
a
gadget?
We
need
to
make
sure
that
it's
true
or
not-
and
we
don't
want
to
put
a
definite
we're
going
to
come
back
to
you
six
months
from
now
and
then
trip
over
ourselves.
we're
giving
ourselves
enough
time
to
study
this
correctly..
Z
We
would
love
to
come
back
to
you
in
six
months
and
keep
going
or
not.,
but
right
now
we
are
trying
to
give
ourselves
enough
of
a
pocket
to
really
study
what's
happening
both
in
that
and
also
we
really
have
to
do.
That's
the
business
analysis
case
here
and
we
have
to
make
sure
that
this
is
viable
at
a
financial
level,
both
at
the
public
and
the
private
side,
since
we
are
eventually
going
to
be
asking
the
private
side
here
to
be
taking
on
a
significant
risk..
So
that's
my.
AU
I
appreciate
that.
and
then
mark
from
gladys's.
If
you
could
come
down.
I
have
a
few
questions
for
you.
just
want
to
make
sure
the
I've
gotten
a
briefing
and
I've
written
in
the
odds,
if
that's
what
we're
calling
them,
but
I
just
want
to
make
sure
the
public
is,
is
aware
a
little
bit
more
if
you
could
explain
a
little
bit
how
how
the
vehicles
work
and
what's
required
to
make
them
autonomous.
sure..
Thank
you.
AE
AE
When
we
are
at
grade,
what
we
will
do
is
put
up
a
fence
on
both
sides
to
prevent
incursions
from
people,
animals,
basketballs,,
all
those
kinds
of
things.,
and
what
that
allows
us
to
do
is
leverage
the
maturity
level
of
autonomous
vehicle
technology
that
has
been
fairly
mature
for
about
a
quarter.
Century.
give
or
take
a
little
bit
for
closed
road
autonomous
systems,
as
one
of
the
commentators
pointed
out
quite
accurately.
Open
road
autonomy,
cruz,
wammo,
tesla.
AE
Companies
like
that
they're
pursuing
a
form
of
autonomy
that,
to
my
knowledge,
has
not
yet
been
invented..
We
can
have
a
discussion
as
to
when
it
will
be
invented..
I'm
sure
it
will
be
at
some
point,
but
it's
not
ready
for
usage
yet,
whereas
close
road
autonomy
has
been
around
for
quite
some
time
in
industrial
and
commercial
use
cases,
and
so
we
leverage
that
the
reason
we
close
our
roads
is
a
for
safety
to
prevent,
incursions
and
collisions,
as
I
mentioned
to
you
before,
be
to
leverage
mature
technology
that
is
commercially
fairly
commodity's.
AE
The
close
road
autonomy
that
I
mentioned,
but
also
see
to
provide
the
very
thing
we
are
trying
to
deliver
in
the
very
first
place,
which
is
higher
capacity,
higher
throughput
mobility
than
a
road
can
deliver.
If
a
road
could
solve
this
problem,.
Ladies
and
gentlemen,,
we
would
just
build
another
road
or
two
or
three,
but
roads
suffer
from
very
low
bandwidth,,
very
low
throughput..
AE
In
fact,
they
suffer
from
congestion..
Congestion
is
a
symptom
of
more
people
wanting
to
use
the
road
than
the
road
can
handle
and
that's
not
because
of
the
vehicles
or
who
or
what
is
driving
those
vehicles..
It
is
because
of
the
infrastructure
bottlenecks
like
a
pedestrian
crossing
and
many
others.
AU
Thank
you.,
I
appreciate
that.,
can
you
say
a
little
bit
more
about
the
size
of
the
vehicles
I
myself
have.
I
I
think
I
was
in
one
and
they've
gotten
a
little
bit
bigger
since
the
one
that
I
was
in
was.
I
was
a
little
bit
concerned
about
the
size
of
the
vehicles
being
too
small
for
a
family
with
luggage
and
people
are
going
to
have
luggage
going
to
the
airport..
AU
AE
Of
the
the
benefits
of
being
the
founder
of
the
company
and
also
six
foot
six
tall
that
I
am
right
here
is
to
make
sure
that
the
vehicle
can
accommodate
me
and
my
family.,
and
so
to
your
point.
We
have
a
grown
the
vehicle,
both
in
width
and
in
length
to
accommodate
a
family
of
four
tall
people
with
luggage
and
or
german
shepherd
dogs,,
which
is
part
of
my
family
and
bicycles.
As
well.
AE
Since
you
took
a
ride.,
I
can
get
the
exact
dimensions
for
you,
but
basically
the
way
we
like
to
think
about
the
floor
space,
not
the
square,,
not
the
cubic
footage
of
volume,
but
the
floor
space
is
four.
People
have
more
space
in
our
vehicle
than
you
do
in
a
minivan
that
would
seat
four
people,
and
so
we've
done
our
best
to
accommodate
that.
thank
you..
That's
very.
AU
AU
AU
We
we
are
committed
to
working
together
with
with
grps
and
all
of
our
stakeholders
to
ensure
that
we
are
meeting
all
of
our
goals,
not
just
our
transportation
goals,
but
also
our
recreation
and
our
environmental
goals.
When
we're
doing
this
airport
connector-
and
I
am
personally
committed
to
that
as
both
the
guadalupe
river
park
and
deardon
and
the
airport,
all
three
are
in
my
district..
So
the
nice
thing
about
redistricting
is
now
it's
under
only
one
council
member
to
do
all
of
that
is
second
or.
AU
AU
City
and
we're
very
involved
in
the
the
route
that
bart
was
going
to
take
and
really
wanted
the
airport
to
be
a
stop
on
bart.
That
was
not
in
the
cards
and
if
it
wasn't
in
the
cards
back
then,
when
we
had
our
first,
our
first
ballot
measure,
I
can
tell
you
now
with
construction
starting
in
july
or
june,
that
there
is
no
way
that
that
bart
can
be
added
to
that..
That
would
have
been
my
preference..
AU
And
to
stay
there
and
to
go
straight
to
deardon.,
I
know
it's,
it's
just
easier.
It's
it's
a
hassle!
If
you
ever
have
to
go
to
sfo
you
have
to
if
you're
taking
transit
from
here
you
get
on
caltrain,
and
then
you
have
to
get
off
at
millbrae
just
to
take
bart
for
one
stop
to
get
to
the
airport
and
it's
kind
of
a
pain
in
the.
AU
AU
AU
AU
AU
That
is
our
innovation
corridor,
thanks
to
our
previous
vice
mayor,
chappy
jones,
and
it's
as
I
think
we
all
know,
and
employment
in
a
shopping
center
and
our
kind
of
our
connection
to
to
apple
which
can
provide
many
more
potential
writers
because
they
have
so
many
employees
at
their
spaceship..
So
with
that,
I
will
move
the
memo
authored
by
the
mayor,,
the
vice
mayor
and
myself,
which
includes
staff
recommendations
as
well
as
the
western,
carlos
and
stephens
creek
corridor.
thank
you..
I
would
second
the
thank
you.
D
In
mind
the
stephens
creek
corridor,
what
I
really
have
liked
about
the
glide
ways
technology
is
the
extend
ability
and
expand
ability
of
it.
Once
we
have
a
proven
concept
on
one
route,
it
actually
will
be
pretty
easy..
I
don't
know
if
anyone
wants
to
comment
about
the
extensibility
and
and
how
we
can
branch
off
and
do
other
things
from
the
first
line.,
but
I
think
that
that's
a
really
powerful
aspect.
D
Of
this
kind
of
transit
versus
what
we're
used
to.,
the
rail
transit
is
much
tougher
to
expand,
to
expand
and
and
branch
from.
I
don't
know
if
this
is
a,
maybe
not
a
question
for
dot,
but
but
a
just
a
comment
for
future
thought.
As
well.,
we
have
a.
We
have
a
light
rail
line
at
first
street
at
airport
parkway
and
there's
a
little
gap
between
the
two..
It
seems
to
me
that
once
we
build
a
line
that
having
a
t
to
just
get
bridge
that
little
difference
might
be
a
relatively
inexpensive
worthwhile
connector.
Y
Z
Is
really
the
larger
game?
Here,
right??
Is
there
a
way
to
make
transit
grow
in
scale
that
much
faster?
and
that's
what
we
want
to
find
out?
Here..
We
don't
know
if
that's
the
case
yet..
We
believe
it
is,
and
we
wouldn't
have
selected
this
process
or
in
this
company
in
this
and
this
uh,
recommendation
without
thinking
this
could
be
that.
but
again,
we're
in
the
we're
in
the
point.
As
the
mayor
said
in
his
opening
remarks,
we're
in
the
point
of
study.
we're
in
the
point
of
fail,
fast.
Z
right.,
let's
figure
this
out.,
let's
see
if
it's
possible.
um,,
I
will
say
it's
easier
than
building
light:
rail,,
that's
for
sure.,
but
it's
still
hard.
you're
still
talking
about
building
a
separated,
guideway.
right.,
and
it's
a
lot
to
figure
all
that
stuff
out.
But
it's
easier,
then
than
doing
the.
Z
Y
Y
Manager
of
the
two
thousand
sales
tax
measure,
which
included
an
airport,
a
rail
airport
connection.,
so
they
have
always
had
it
on
their
books
to
do
something
like
this
.,
so
they
are
an
integral
part
of
what
we
have
been
doing
and
are
doing..
So,
while
the
v.a.
board
has
not
taken
a
position
on
this
particular
specific
decision,,
they
did
support
this
whole
effort
by.
Y
Funding
using
measure
two
thousand
measuring
sales
tax.,
our
initial
work
on
this
beach
staff
has
also
been
participating
integral
to
writing
of
the
request
for
information
three
four
years
ago
with
us.
They
helped
us
write
the
rfp
and
they
were
participating
on
the
selection
panel
for
this
measure.,
so
they're,
very
supportive
of
us
moving
something
forward
into
an
exploratory
phase
to
find
out
how
this
will
work.
so
and
the
entire
idea,
as
well
or.
D
Z
Z
D
One
other
thing
that
I
think
I
had
the
option
being
the
ability
to
go
up
there
a
year
ago
as
well,
the
opportunity
to
go
and
ride
one
of
the
vehicles,
I'm
glad
to
hear
there
a
little
bit
bigger
also
than
when
I
was
there..
But
it's
not
always
clear
from
these
from
these
discussions.
The
distinction
between
this
and
the
traditional
system,
because
the.
D
Reserved
vehicles
will
have
the
ability
to
take
you
exactly
to
your
destination
without
interim
stops.,
so
there
is
an
efficiency
that
happens
here.
That
doesn't
happen
with
the
traditional
systems
and
I
think
it's
important
to
have
that.
and
the
other.
The
other
thing
I
want
to
mention
our
airport
is
really
one
of
the
few
airports.
It
doesn't
have
any
kind
of
people
mover
and
there's
a
part
of
this
project.
That's
not
just
about
it,
really
isn't
just
about
deardon
to
the
airport.
D
In
my
mind.,
I
think
an
important
element
of
this
is
the
entire
terminal,
the
entire
terminal
connection
and
the
parking
lot
connections
that
would
be
served
by
this
system
that
would
make
travel
at
the
airport
and
to
parking,
lots
and
other
things
more
convenient
as
well..
These.
This
system
wouldn't
just
be
a
line
from
deardon
to
the
airport,
but
would
be
within
the
airport..
Is
there
any
thing
you
want
to
add
about
that,
john??
I
think.
AW
Supportive
of
it
because
I
currently
run
busses,
but
we
need
to
look
at
the
operating
costs
long
term
to
say.
Is
this
going
to
be
cheaper
than
me
continuing
to
run
busses
to
the
parking,
lots
and
stuff??
So
I
think
it's
it's
interesting.
I'd
really
like
to
get
into
it
and
see
those
numbers,
because
it
would
be
a
much
better
system
for
us
if
it
if
it
maintains
that
affordability
compared
to
our
bustline
operation,
that
we
have
now.
and
I
think
it's
important.
D
they're,
of
course,
they're
a
little
different
because
they're,
mostly
trains
and
tracks
as
well,
but
they're
autonomous
vehicles
that
are
separated
from
the
roadways
and
eliminate
that
issue
of
congestion..
And
another
point
about
this:
really
is
that
congestion?
Someone
may
raise
the
point
about
about
using.
D
Roads
in
traditional
systems
leads
to
congestion.,
and
so
keeping
this
all
these
trips
off
of
those
roadways
is
an
important
suggestion.
Management
piece..
I
think
that's,
that's
all
the
comments
I
want
to
make..
I
think
I'm
happy
to
support
the
continuing
exploration
to
see
how
this
pencils
out,
if
it
does,
and
you
know,
looking
at
some
of
these
new
technologies
to
see
what
we
can
do
and
then
hopefully
learn
from
it
and
see
whether
it
becomes
a
way,
a
transportation
option
for
the
future
council
member.
L
You.,
thank
you
for
the
presentation..
Thank
you
for
the
briefing
yesterday.
that
was
very
helpful..
I
also
want
to
thank
the
members
of
the
public
who
commented
whether
they're
supportive
of
the
project
or
not..
Your
input
is
really
helpful
to
the
design,,
the
decision
and
the
discussion..
I
have
a
couple
of
questions
for
you..
One
is
regarding
phase.
L
Z
Z
L
AA
The
end
of
phase
one
we
want
to
move
forward
and
they
decide
not
to.
We
don't
pay
them
the
one,
the
half
million
they
they
don't
they
don't
get
paid
anything.
So
so
that's
the
at
risk.
Part..
You
know
they
are
probably
investing
more
than
that
and
if
they
decide
not
to
move
forward,
they
don't
get
paid.
ok,.
But
if
we
decide.
L
AA
Primary
design
so
the
designing
the
project
and
then
doing
environmental
analysis
on
that,
the
way
we've
structured,
the
pda
right
now
apollinaire
and
their
team
would
be
doing
all
the
project,
development
and
design
and
we
would
be
reading
and
paying
for
the
environmental
process..
So
in
their
in
their
proposal.
They.
AA
L
Z
Been
and
are
looking
for
funding
as
of
months
and
months
months,
ago.
we've
already
got
a
little
bit
from
vti..
We
are
working
with
our
team
and
our
internal
energy,
our
team
to
to
identify
other
sources.
we're
in
discussions
with
mtc
and
the
state
about
potential
ways
to
do
that..
We
are
certainly
hoping
that
grants
will
cover
a
significant
portion
of
the
of
the
future
cost
for
us,
both
in
project
development
and,
of
course,
in
the
final
build.
L
Is
really
important
of
whether
we're
going
to
need
general
funds,
capital
improvement,
funds,
taxation,,
whatever
method,
we
look
at
to
fund
this
project,
hopefully
to
the
members
of
the
public
who
are
listening.,
I'm
not
advocating
for
taxes.,
I'm
hoping
for
for
federal
grants
and
other
grants
that
might
work
to
help
us..
But
at
what
point
is
this
a
go
or.
Z
There
are
basically
four
main
decisions,
right?,
there's
there's
the
one.
Now
is
the
one
that
go
into
phase
two.,
there's
the
one
that
ends
say
go
into
the
final
negotiations
and
that's
that's
going
to
be
the
project
implementation
agreement..
That
project
implementation
agreement
is
where
everything
gets
hashed
out
and
the
final
real
long
term.
Z
Relationship
gets
built
or
gets
devised
so
that
we
can
then
say,
go
build..
So
it's
once
we
agree
on
that
final
implementation,
agreement
and
council,,
of
course,
we'll
have
a
chance
to
say
yes
or
no
to
what
it
is,
but
we'll
come
in
and
ask
for
direction..
This
is
how
we
think
with
negotiation
should
go..
You
guys
will
give
us
further
direction
on
that
than
we
would
come
back
with
that
agreement
and
see
if
it's,
if
it's
not
to
your
liking.
ok,
uh,,
I'm
I'm.
L
Looking
forward
to
seeing
this
go
forward
further,
so
we
can
get
more
information..
I
I'm
don't
feel
I
have
enough
information
to
say
no
to
this
project..
I
want
to
see
this
go
forward
at
this
point,
but
that
doesn't
mean
it's
a
blanket.
yes.
until
we
get
the
studies
back
in
in
twelve
months-
and
I
do
want
to
thank
glide
wayson
the
plenary
folks
for
your
involvement
and
your
commitment
to
this
project..
L
I
think
it's
exciting
and
it's
interesting
technol,
I'm
not
a
huge
tech
person,
but
I
can
see
the
benefit
of
this
kind
of
system
from
the
airport
to
san
jose..
I'm
also
aware
of
the
relationship
or
cognizant
of
the
relationship
between
vta
and
the
city
of
san
jose
and
how
important
that
is
in
our
multimode
mobile
transportation
and
how
important
it
is
that
we
work
together
in
all
avenues..
So
with
that
I'll
conclude,
my
questions.
thank
you.
lakes,
council
member.
W
Much
for
bringing
this
innovative
technology
project.,
as
you
know
that
I've
been
on
the
smart
city
advisory
board
and
I
come
from
the
tech
background.
So
I'm
always
looking
to
find
new
technologies
which
can
be
adopted
by
the
cities
and
because,
in
the
long
term,
they
proved
to
be
more
effective
and.
W
Z
AE
W
Love
to
get
the
details
with
what
restrictions
should
we
make
our
visit
plans
and
because
I'm
pretty
sure,
some
of
our
members
of
the
leadership,
neighborhood
associations
and
all
that
they
may
want
to
visit
and
get
to
know
that..
So
we
like
to
make
it
as
convenient
as
possible
for
you,
because
you
can
host
hundreds
of
people
at
the
same
time.,
so
yeah,
but.
AE
A
Interject
briefly,
sideways
was
kind
enough
last
year
to
come
here
to
just
outside
of
the
rotunda
and
have
a
setup
where
council,
members,
members
of
the
public
could
come
sit
in
the
vehicle
and
more
not
quite
the
same
as
going
out
to
the
facility,
but
that
might
be
a
more
accessible
way
to
open
that
up
to
everyone.
So
we
we
can
take
it
off..
I
know
you
can.
W

Z
Z
Real
world.,
we
have
to
design
a
real
project
and
we
have
to
figure
it
out
and
we
most
certainly
intend
for
it
to
be
much
less..
We
know
we
don't
have
access
to
a
lot
of
public
funds
to
get
us
anywhere
near
that
number
right..
So
there's
a
lot
of
incentives
built
into
the
way
we've
built
this
contract
that
should
keep
the
costs
low
both
to
the
public,
but
also
hopefully
to
the
overall
project,
because
the
more
capital
that's
expended
and
the
more
debt
that's
taken
on
the
higher
cost
tickets
will
be
right.

Questions.
one
is
that
listening
to
council,
member
folies
westend
ramsay
is
about
the
no
go,
no
go
decision.
If
you
will.,
I
think
when
you
answer
the
question,
you
were
speaking
sort
of
globally
over
the
course
of
the,
but
what
I'm
curious
about
is
within
the
phase
one.
All
this
analysis
is
going
to
be
done.
The
business
case
analysis.,
but
you
as
staff
are
going
to
I'm
sure,
give
a
recommendation
to
us
and
then
we're
going
to
vote
on
that.
but
sort
of
what
framework
or
how
are
you?
O
AA
AA
Are
finding
of
the
initial
planning
that
we
can
get
start
getting
cost
estimates
for
that.
we've
we've
done
a
ridership
study,
that's
posted
on
our
website,
but
they're
bringing
their
own
ridership
consultant
to
do
that
and
look
at
the
work
at
the
fares
because
they're
working
to
see
if
in
the
rfp
we've
said,

what
are
the
the
barriers
we
see
the
potential
impacts
of
various
alignments.

There
will
be

back
with
the
feasibility
validation
report
in
amendments.
We
need
to
do
to
the
pda
at
that
point
and
when
we
have
those
numbers
we
have
the
very
good
cost
estimate
for
what
phase
two
would
take
and
what
fundraising
we've
been
able
to
to
do
between
now
and
then..
You
know,,
we
can
put
all
those
in
front
of
the
council
for
decision..
AA
O
I
know
there
was
in
the
memo
that
was
put
out
is
related
to
some
of
the
some
of
the
transit
mobility
down
in
san
carlos
and
stevens
creek.
when
you're
talking
ridership,
are
you
talking
about?
Is
the
analysis
focused
strictly
on
if
this
was
built,?
How
many
people
would
get
on
this
to
go
to
the
airport??
Is
that
yes,
very
clearly.,
ok,
all
right.

right.
going
to
deardon
and
you
really
have
to
say:
can
you
actually
clear
those
people
out??
Can
you
actually
make
this
into
a
viable
solution??
So
that's
one
to
is
this
financially
viable?
right.
and
that's
a
two
sided
question
right.?
Is
it
financially
viable
to
run
the
business
right.
because
we
are
not
intending
to
run
this?
We
are
intending
to
oversee
this
as
as
a
system.,
but
this
will
not
be
a
san
jose,
operated
system..
This
will
be
a
san
jose
overseen
system
as
the
franchise
agreement..
Z
O
The
business
case,
I,
what
I
assume
is
their
business
based
on
everything.
I've
heard
and
we've
touched
this
a
few
times.
My
apologies,
but
I
know
it's
been
a
little
while,
but
based
on
what
I
heard,
there's
an
assumption
that
there's
there's,
obviously
a
cost
associated
with
it,
assuming
that
technology
works,
assuming
we
want
to
build
it.
So
we
want
to
be
a
partnership.
folks
are
going
to
pay
to
get
on
this,
for
the
flexibility
to
then
get
take
it
to
the
airport
or
do
whatever
we
need
to
do.
It.
Z
O
That's
not
a
viable,
that's
where
I'm
going
with
some
of
my
questions
for
john,
because
this
is
sort
of
assuming
it
goes
that
direction
it's
going
to
be
in
the
airport,
but
it
also
comes
out
right..
The
ones
I
have
ever
been
all
around
the
world
operate
solely
within
the
airport.
right.,
at
least
the
ones
I've
been
on.,
and
so
what
I
was
curious,
john,.
If
you
can,
I
don't
know,,
maybe
at
some
point
in
past
conversations,
you've
chimed
in
on
this..
O
So
I
apologize
if
you've
answered
this
question
of
the
past.,
but
I'm
curious
separate
from
the
technology,
separate
from
the
business
case,
and
I
assume
maybe
it's
sort
of
tied
to
the
business
case..
But
I'm
wondering
is
the
demand
there
for
our
airport
to
you
know,.
Is
there
going
to
be
enough
people
that
are
pouring
out
of
the
airport
onto
this
coming
to
deardon
and
going
the
opposite
direction
into
the
airport??
AW
AW
O
O
AA
Here
the
oakland
airport
connected
to
bart,,
they
did
a
different
system.,
it's
sort
of
an
elevated
cable
car
and
they
originally
were
envisioning
to
have
one
stop
in
the
middle
and
they
ended
up
not
not
building
that,
but
with
that
sort
of
technology
you
can
never
add
an
intermediate
stop.
If
you
want
to
extend
it.,
you
need
to
build
a
new
cable
system,
so
you
get
off
the
one
train,
you
get
on
the
different
train
to
go
on
on
the
extension..
So
when
we.
AA
AA
AA
AA
AA
O
Appreciate
that.,
I'm
just
and
the
reason
I
ask
that
question
is
I'm
curious..
It
seems
to
similar
maybe
different
technology,
but
similar
type
of
idea,
and
I
just
get
curious
how
effective
that
is,
and
if,
because
I'm
all
for
innovating
and
trying
something
new
and
failing
fast,
all
the
wonderful
things
that
we
say
about,,
you
know,
silicon
valley,
but
I
don't
want
to
do
it
for
the
sake
of
doing
it..

Asking
this

what's
what
what's

this

we

looked
at
how
many

would
be
using
this,.
How
many

would

then
even
looking
out
at
if
you

Z

Are
our

at

that
use
us

and
that
has
to
do
with
whether
there
is
the
intra

the

and
whether
high
speed,
rail
or
those
are
the
main

Right.
in
our.
Z
Z
O
You
know,
they're,
framed
in
such
a
way
that
we're
just
exploring.,
but
I
think
at
some
point
we
get
for,.
You
know,
far
enough
down
the
road
where
it's
more
difficult
to
turn
around.
and
I'm
very
cautious
about
getting
so
far
down
the
road
that
it's
easier,
just
hit
plan
ahead
and
keep
pouring
money
into.
It
then
then
say
this
isn't
a
good
idea.,
let's
stop.,
and
so
I'm
ok
hitting
those
brakes
and-
and
so
you
should
expect
a
lot
of
scrutiny
as
this
goes
forward.
Z
A
It's
a
great
point
and
I'm
very
much
looking
forward
to
what
staff
and
our
partners
come
back
with.
Assuming
we
move
this
forward..
I
think
it's
a
it's
a
great
opportunity
to
learn,
but
I
to
have
plenty
of
questions
about
the
viability
of
this.,
so
we're
going
to
learn
a
lot.
I
think
so,
when
we
move
forward
here.
ok,
last
chance

AX
Afternoon
again,
andreyev
laura
shelton
with
pianist
deputy

We
are
bringing
forward
a
recommendation
that
actually
was
heard
at
the
neighborhood
services
education
committee
related
to
the
neighborhoods.
Commission.-
we
brought
this
our
recommendation
in
march
and
what
we
are
bringing
forward
today
is
the
the
committee's
recommendation,
which
is
to.
AX
AX
Finally,
one
of
the
reasons
why
we
are
seeking
to
suspend
the
neighborhoods
commission
is
that
we
want
to
work
with
our
neighborhood
association
leaders,,
our
neighborhood
leaders
to
work
on
anco
design,,
a
model
that
really
addresses
the
current
needs
and
challenges
that
neighborhood
association
leaders
are
facing
code
design
them
and
come
back
to
both
the
neighborhood
conference
in
the
fall
and
then
to
that
back
to
the
neighborhood
services
and
education
committee
to
flush
through
what
those
possible
solutions
might
be..
Um,
back
in.
AX
AX
AX
AX
Some
situations,
where
there's
just
a
lack
of
participation
and
feedback
loop
with
neighborhood
associations
and
leaders
and
we're
finding
that
residents
and
commissioners
want
a
real
time
needs
met
at
the
commission
and
that's
really
not
the
function
of
the
commission.-
I
just
also
want
to
go
back
to.
We
have
over.

all
of
our
opportunity,
neighborhoods,
formerly
known
as

hotspot,
neighborhoods-
that
we
think
are
a
high
priority
and
then
we
have
almost
a
hundred
and
ninety
neighborhood
associations.
So
we
have
a
variety
of
neighborhood
associations
with
a
variety
of
needs,
and
at
this
time
we.
AX
AX
You
were
to
move
forward
with
suspending
the
neighborhood
commission
today,
we
would
be
really
interested
in
working
through
a
work
group
model
kicking
off
in
the
april
may
timeframe
where
we
would
be
engaging
neighborhood
leaders
and
really
again
identifying
the
problems
and
working
on
solutions
together,
so
that
city
staff
isn't
coming
up
with
the
solutions
solely.,
but
we
would
be
doing
that
with
neighborhood
leaders.
Together.,
we
been
working
on.

This
code,

we'd,
also
need
to
update
either
the
the
muni
code
and
policy
one
dash
eighteen
to
ensure
that
the
independent
oversight
committee
meets
their
requirements.
So
we
could
do
that
during
the
suspension
time..
We
can
move
that
over
temporarily
and
based
on
what
the
council
direction
is
in
the

We
can

These
are
some
of
the
challenges
that
we
hear
is
responsiveness,
access
and
there's
been
so
much
work
done
by
the
city
managers
office..
We
think
this
is
a
real
opportunity
to
figure
out
together
how
those
are
woven
into
our
neighborhood
engagement
strategies
and
then,
finally,
as
I
said,
increase,
outreach
to
diverse
underrepresented,
neighborhood
groups

commissioner,.
Some
years
ago,
I
support
council
member
botros
mamool
to
reinstate
the
neighborhoods
commission
to
restart
the
caucus
process
to
select
their
new
commissioners..
As
I
said
in
my
letter
to
you,,
the
neighborhood
commission
was
formed
at
the
request
of
the
community
to
help
you
on
the
council
to
work
with
us
in
the
community
on
matters
of
life
policies
and
programs
that
affect
us
in
the
community..
AY
The
neighbors
commission
helps
collect
information
from
all
across
the
city
to
provide
feedback
on
things
like
the
annual
budget
proposal,
and
it
provides
much
needed
in
from
public
citizen
oversight
for
the
citizens.

also
supports
the
recommendations
to
explore
neighborhood

support
the

model
and
also
the
united
neighborhoods
unfccc,
which
in
the
past,
have
provided
great
support
for
training
and
community
involvement..
So
the
icc
helps
train
the
community,
but
the
neighbors
commission
actually
provides
a
formal
input
to
the
city
council,
so
I
hope
you'll
support

Talk
though.:
this
has
to
be
super
inclusive
because
it's
too
important
to
the
neighborhoods,
and
we
all
know
that
with
that
I'd
like
to
offer
platero
as
a
first
neighborhood
association
to
to
be
joined
with
this.,
I
want
to
tell
you
now
about
angel,
rios
and
everything
she's
done
for
us..
I
mean
you
guys
know
what
a
great
great
job
he's
doing
with
the
city.,
but
but
but.
AZ
P
I
do
not
have
it
for
me.,
I'm
kind
of
hurt
that
this
has
happened..
I
understand
what's
been
going
on
with
the
neighborhood
commission,
but
it
always
hurts
to
lose
such
an
important
mission.
Basically,
and
I
I
just
hope
we
can
find
ways
to
get
it
together
where
the
commission
process
in
our
future.
I
hope
the
neighborhood
commission
can
look
to
what
mazetti
is
doing,,
what
housing
does,?
What
what
community
energy
does.!
I
think
all
the
people
in
commissions
feel
oftentimes
kind
of
useless
compared
to
city
government
staff
and
even
even
mayor.
P
Mehan
when
he
was
on
community
energy
used
to
offer
such
claims
and
say
things
like,
I
can't
wait
to
do
something
more
important
with
life,.
You
know,
and
he's
really
made
headway
with
that,
and
I
hope
that
he
can
return
to
the
commission
process
and
really
bring
out
what
it
can
really
offer
the
community
as
a
process
for
everyday
community
as
something
fairly
awesome.
and
so,.
You.

I'm
saddened
to
let
you
know
that.
Unfortunately,
I
have
yet
to
even
get
a
phone
call
from
staff
advising
me
about
this
happening..
The
neighborhood
commission
is
a
great
resource
to
our
neighborhoods
and
in
the
council.
Sadly,
covid
has
taken
so
much
from
our
community
and
this
commission
has
felt
the
hit..
I
ask
you
to
not
sunset
this
commission
as
it's
unique,
because
it
is
selected
by
the
community
rather
than
by
the
city,
giving
it
the
ability
to
express
concerns,
as
it
reflects
the
neighborhoods
and
not
what
the
current
council
makeup
is..
BB
The
neighborhood
commission
helps
the
community
to
work
together
with
the
city..
This
commission
has
made
numerous
recommendations
regarding
the
four
areas:
responsibilities
as
defined
by
the
city
ordinance..
The
commission's
focus
is
not
its
focus
and
not
limited
to
areas
of
code
enforcement,
transportation,
safety
and
budget
recommendations.

As
I've

at
it
and
I've
heard
about
the
caucus
format
which
which
to
me
doesn't
seem
to
be
functioning
properly
because
the
people
selected
at
the
caucus,
it's
more
of
a
popularity
contest
than
a
commitment
to
perform
their
duties
as
commissioner..
I
can't
speak
for
all
the
commissioners..
I
don't
know
how
they're
I
know
the
caucus
formula
does
not
work.
L
Getting
their
commitment
to
no
one
attend
the
meetings,
no
to
meet
with
me
and
offer
feedback
to
me
about
what's
happening
in
the
commissions,
so
that
I
then
know
what
or
what
my
neighborhood
associations
are
doing
or
what
they
need
from
us
and
how
we
can
work
together.
Both
the
city,
the
commission
and
my
neighborhood
associations..
L
I
have
a
lot
of
fairly
active
neighborhood
associations,
and
so
it
it
concerns
me
the
caucus
formula
that
has
been
previous,
and
I
am
hoping
that's
not
what
is
brought
back
to
us,
the
selection,
because
in
my
particular
district
it
might
heavily
favor
one
side
of
the
district
over
the
other,
because
one
side
of
my
district
is
where
all
the
majority
of
the
active
neighborhood
associations
are..
I
have
other
neighborhoods
associations,
but
they're,
not
as
active..
They
don't
participate
as
much..
L
L
With
a
future
committee.,
all
of
our
many
of
our
commissions
seem
to
be
having
issues
meeting
quorum.
the
senior
commission
couldn't
meet
quorum.
This
year.
this
time
vision,
zero
may,
which
is
a
task
force,
may
not
meet
quorum,
so
we
may
not
be
able
to
meet.
it's
frustrating
to
have
all
these
volunteers
who
are
interested
in
participating,
but
they
can't
meet
quorum
and
there
and
we
can't
even
have
a
presentation
without
it.,
so
I'm
wondering
how
that
part
of
it
will
be
resolved..
L
We
need
that
neighborhood
commission
to
be
the
eyes
and
ears
of
what's
happening
in
the
other
districts
and
what's
what
their
concerns
are
and
across
the
board,
the
the
issues
in
every
district
are
very
similar..
We
approach
them
differently,
potentially
as
council
members,
but
the
issues
are
all
very,
very
similar..
B
B
The
questions
it's
the
sort
of
how
do
you
find
identify
these
people
that
will
make
this
commitment??
We
would
expect
to
try
to
enter
through
this
process.
right.,
and
so
that's
certainly
an
area
we
can
focus
on
with
everyone
and
say
well
what
does
what
does
make
you
want
to
make
this
commitment
and
what
kind
of
a
person
is
that
or
who
do
you
want
to
represent
ourselves
to
to
the
process?
Question?
B
AX
AX
Many
of
the
council
offices
are
interested
in
making
sure
that
some
of
their
neighborhood
leaders
are
represented
on
it.,
so
we
would
have
sort
of
a
formal
work
group
where
we
would
kind
of
talk
through
again
identifying
what
are
all
the
issues
and
challenges
with
engaging
with
the
city
right
before
we
jump
to
solutions.
right..
We
want
to
really
get
it
all
out
there
so
that
we
have
the
different
challenges
that
need
to
be
addressed.
The
issues.
AX
right,
because
that's
the
other
piece
with
the
neighborhood
commission.-
it's
been
sort
of
flooded
with
different
issues
that
are
hard
to
address
all
of
those
right.,
so
issues,
whether
it's
customer
service
challenges
and
or
we
think
about
just
the
grants,
improvement,
process,,
there's
a
whole
host
of
sort
of
parnas
issues,
citywide
inter-departmental,
issues,,
customer
service
issues
and
then,
you
know,
talking
through
maybe
how
we
would
address
policy
issues.
right..
AX
AX
They
may
not
be
in
an
official
neighborhood
association.,
so
we
want
to
do
some
engagement
kind
of
that
high
touch
in
person
conversations,
and
I
think
we
also
want
to
do
some
tech
surveys
with
residents,
whether
it's
through
next
door,.
You
know
your.
Why
is
it
that
udoh
again
back
to
asking
questions
about
engagement
with
the
city??
AX
What's
the
best
way
to
engage?
so
again,?
We
don't
want
to
be
redundant..
What
a
lot
of
the
work
that
the
cmo
has
done
with
the
customer
service
work..
So
we're
working
closely
with
eric
jensen,
dolen
goal
to
make
sure
that
we're
not
being
redundant
but
that
we're
sort
of
taking
it
to
a
different
level..
And
so
it's
a
formal
process,
an
informal
process.
AX
L
L
L
AX
You
say
we
we're
we're
very
mindful
of
that.
and
I
think
again
back
to
jumping
to
solutions.
right.,
we're
kind
of
looking
at
low
cost,
no
cost,
but
we've
heard
loud
and
clear
from
council
offices
and
other
folks.
What's
the
staffing
model
that
would
support
again,
these
proposed
solutions?
so
we're
very
mindful
of
sort
of
capacity
to
to
be
responsive.
L
X
A
AU
Mayor.
I
first
of
all
I
want
to
thank
you,
john
andrea
and
olympia,
for
this
discussion
for
all
your
work
on
this
issue
and
for
the
discussion
at
nc
and
march..
I
think
we
got.
We
worked
out
a
good
compromise
in
committee,
taking
a
pause
to
reassess,
not
sunsetting..
So
I
want
to
be
really
clear
to
everyone
who
commented
we're
not
sunsetting
the
commission,,
we're
just
taking
a
pause
and
really
it
was
on
pause
anyway,
as
we
discussed
in
march,
because
there
aren't
even
enough
appointments
for
four
quorum
at
this
point.
AU
So
they
can't
continue
meeting..
But
we
also
in
committee,
expressed
a
lot
of
hesitancy
to
to
make
any
unilateral
decisions
without
engaging
the
neighborhood
association
and
also-
and
I
think
you're
already
going
to
do
this-
not
just
the
current
members
of
of
the
commission,
but
also
former
commissioners,
because
we
don't
have
a
lot
of
commissioners
right
now
and-
and
there
are
some
that
that
rolled
off
the
the
commissioner
termed
out
of
the
commission
that
are
still
who
are
still
around
and
available
and
definitely
want
to
be
involved..
AU
I
know
because
I've
heard
from
some
of
them-
and
I
do
want
to
just
say
I
I
think
we're
going
to-
we
still
need
a
neighborhood
services.
Commission.-
I'm
the
liaison
to
the
parks
and
recreation
commission
and
their
agendas
are
full
in
their
meetings
are
long
and
they're
focused
really
just
on
the
parks
and
recreation
specific
issues..
So
we
do
need
to
be
discussing
those
quality
of
life
issues
that
are
recurring
in
our
neighborhoods
and
we
just
want
to
be
realistic
about
what
has
and
hasn't
worked
in
the
current
iteration
of
the
of
the
commission,.
AU
AU
A
D
I
know
that
I've
heard
from
commissioners
who
say
just
hearing
what's
going
on
in
this
other
district
and
knowing
the
similarities
and
differences
between
what's
going
on
is
useful
and
then
they
can
come
back
and
talk
to
council
members
and
other
people
in
the
neighborhoods
about
so
just
think
about
what
you
know.
What
should
be
the
real
purpose
of
this
gathering
of
people.,
and
I
also
want
to
point
out
that
there
are
districts
that
are
not
as
well
equipped
for
this
caucus
method
and
that's
part
of
the
problem.
D
you
know,
we're
not
in
district
four.,
we've
just
appointed
them
as
council
members..
We
don't
have.
We
have
three
neighborhood
associations
and
all
of
district
four..
There
is
no
critical
mass
for
a
caucus.,
so
so
this
process
has
to
be
we
to
be
aware
of
the
differences
across
the
city..
There
might
be
some
very
mature
districts
where
it
makes
sense
for
the
council
member
to
utilize
this
caucus
to
sort
of
bring
people
forward
as
good
choices.
that
doesn't
work
in
every
in
every
district..
So
I
just
want
to
keep
that
on
the
forefront
based
council.
W
W
W
W
With
trying
to
reconstitute
a
thing.,
we
use
the
appointment
method
to
get
the
majority
people
and
they
were
very
dedicated..
They
worked
hard
on
it.,
you
have
some
of
the
same
people
or
similar
people.
On
the
neighborhood
commission.-
I
think
we
could
have
easily
changed
this
thing
to
be
an
appointment
method
by
the
council
just
like
we
have
done
it
with
the
others.
one
member
from
each
district
and
and.
W
W
W
Think
we
are.,
I
personally
believe
it's
a
disservice-
that
we
are
not
acknowledging
the
great
work,
this
commission
and
some
of
the
members
who
have
done
it,
and
we
are
saying
that
this
commission
was
not
proactive..
So
we
need
to
go
and
study
for
several
months
and
come
back
approach..
I
would
support
that
motion
to
go,
but
I'm
expressing
that
I
don't
think
we
have
done
a
good
service
to
the
people
who
have
served
on
this
commission
or
the
people
who
started
this.
W
BE
And
a
structure
issue
that
we
need
to
fix
the
leaders,,
the
leaders,,
the
remaining
leaders
that
are
on
the
commission.-
we
can't
speak
any
higher
for
the
jim
carters,,
the
larry
ames..
We
have
a
lot
of
respect.,
in
fact,
,.
Our
hope
is
to
keep
them
engaged
in
this
process
because
we
need
their
leadership..
So
so,
thanks
for
raising
this,
because
it's
important
for
us
to
acknowledge
publicly.
This
is
not
about
the
leaders,,
the
people
that
remain.
If
anything,
they've
stayed
on
board
to
kind
of
keep
things
going
right.
BE
BE
It
was
kind
of
a
stay
over
from
the
previous
synods
that
was
supported
by
a
pretty
robust
and
staff
staffing
which
no
longer
exist
that
that's
become
problematic
and
and,
of
course,
that
you've
heard
several
comments
about
the
caucus
process
itself,
which
kind
of
has
it
just
it
just
not
working
right..
So
thanks
for
raising
the
concern,
but
we
do
want
to
acknowledge
that
this
is
a
structure
issue..
It
just
does
not
speak
to
the
people
that
remain
on
this
commission,
because
we
have
a
high
respect
for
them.
yeah,.
I.
W
Really
appreciate
that
clarification-
and
I
do
agree
with
the
caucus
method
is-
is
being
used
only
on
this
commission.-
all
the
other
ones
you
are
appointing.
We
are
appointing
counsel
and
I
think,
bringing
that
consistency
will
not
hurt.
It
will
be
a
good
thing
to
do,
because
council
members
always
appoint
the
or
they
are
nominated
by
the
council
member
and
then
appointed
through
the
regular
process
and
I'll
be
totally
supportive
of
that
one
that
this
commission
will
benefit
from
that
one
as
well..

had
some
items
that
should
be
in
with
the
documents
that
he
had
listed
that
he
wanted
to
make
sure
we
were
looking
at
at
through
the
process..
The
reason
we
changed
is
largely
because
we
were
never
trying
to
eliminate
this
function
in
the
city..
We
were
just
saying
it's
not
working
in
the
way
it
should
and
we
want
to
redesign..
So
our
initial
was
well.
Let's
set
that
aside
and
do
something
new,
and
maybe
it
looks
very
similar
to
what
we
have..

We
don't
know,

of
people
were
just
getting
stuck

getting
rid

trying
to
evolve
it
in
some
way
that
works
better
in
all
the
ways
we've
talked
about..
That's
really
what
we're
after
here

that's
why
we
got
to

it
makes

just
suspend,

if

comes
out

is

Just
to
reiterate
some
concerns

did
meet
with

of

current

you

is
the
end

and
I'm
reiterating
that
we're
going
back
to
the
drawing
board
because
we
currently
don't
even
meet

you

we
have,
we
have
our
troubles
with

who
are
more
active

revamping
and
innovating.

is,
is
the
approach
that
we
took
in

by
no
no

are
we
saying
no,
no,
we're
getting
rid
of
this.
we're
just
saying
hey,
paw's
we're
going
to
make
it
better

we're
going
to
come

it.,

supported

Memo
and
the
list
that
I
read
said
that
you
just
want
to
work
out
exploratory
to
continue
this
book
for
exploratory
ideas
for
being
at
cesar
chavez
park,
and
I
just
don't
think
that's
going
to
be
really
viable..
I
think
you're
going
to
spend
a
lot
of
money
and
come
up
with
a
big
nothing,
because
I
think
it's
going
to
be
really
rejected
in
the
future,
and
I
think
it
would
be
wiser
to
spend
money
on
finding
alternative
sites
which
I
think
is
possibly
what's
being
said
here..
P

Just
really,
really
uncomfortable
with
this
project,
what
it
would
do
to
the
future
of
the
area.
you've
talked
about
it
as
a
gift,
and
if
they
want
to
be
decent
about
giving
a
gift
to
the
community,,
they
should
be
decent
enough
to
want
to
hear
some
pretty
strong
community
voices
that
are
asking
this
kind
of
project
to
be
placed
somewhere
else
like
possibly
at
the
end
of
self.

Like
a
bay
project
that
totally
windswept
and
it's
huge.,
it's
a
monster-
and
I
just
it
just
takes
over
and
dominates
the
whole
area
with
a
northern
european
philosophy
of
bay
and
wind
and
cold..
So
this
area
was
built
on
one
you
know,,
the
cesar
chavez
area
in
the
san
pedro
market,
area.,
it's
an
area
of
warmth
and
you're,
turning
it
into
a
place
of
coldness..
We
have
to
really
think
about
this.

I
understand
the
need
for
iconic
landmark
that
captures
the
spirit
of
the
city
and
serves
as
a
source
of
inspiration.
Connection
for

The

project
offers
that,
precisely
that
a
stunning
immersive
storytelling
platform,
a

a

that
can
be
used
by
local

to
showcase

will
be
built
around

breathtaking
visual
experience
that
transcends

To
be
honest,
creating
global
landmarks
of
this
magnitude
is
scary.

a

Thing
coming
from?:
if
you
take
money
for
this
thing,
it's
money
that
could
not
be
used
for
other
things
and
other
venues
that
might
be
more
beneficial
for
the
community..
It's
also
cost
of
maintenance
and
the
cost
of
demolition.
When
it's
at
the
end
of
its
lifetime.,
I
mean
you,
don't
just
build
an
icon
and
have
it
become
an
icon
while
sanders
has
the
hollywood
sign
that
was
not
built

it
doesn't

I'm
actually
hoping
you
could
accept
the
staff
report
and
recommendations
to
allow
the
creation
of
a
memorable
landmark
that
everyone
around
the
city,
state
and
particularly
the
world
could
enjoy,
because
this
will
become
something
that
people
enjoy
and
and
and
literally
visit
san
jose
as
a
part
of
our
city
as
a
part
of
the
local.

Organizing

I
constantly
talk
about
things
that
people
can
do
when
they
visit
this
town
of
ours,
having
been
all
over
this
country
to
various
cities,
where
those

I

An
amazing
project
with
all
due
respect
to
all
of
the
community
around
san
and
it
would
create
new
vibrancy,
certainly
wouldn't
take
away
from
anything
as
I
have
enjoyed
the
san
jose
jazz
festival
and
christmas
in
the
park.
In
all
due
respect
to
previous
speakers,
and
perhaps
those
after
the
fact
of
the
matter
is,
this
would
be
a
great
addition
to
san
jose..
We
need
this
type
of
project
and
bless
all
of
those
who
are
behind
it
to
make
it
happen..
I
look
forward
to
seeing
it
being
a
part
of
it..

Reassuring
statements
both
in
the
written
documents
and
in
the
live
presentation
in
twenty
twenty
one.,
so
we
are
cautiously
lukewarm
about
this
project
because
of
the
assurances
that
we've
given
and
we
would
appeal
for
the
council
and
the
proponents
of
this
project
to
be
consistent
with
the
lighting
philosophies,
they've
outlined
and
keep
their
promises..
Thank
you
very
much..
L
L
Truly
am
a
huge
believer
in
public
art
and
in
what
it
can
do
to
draw
people
to
the
city
of
san
jose,
to
attract
people,,
to
keep
them
here
to
spend
money
to
it's.
It's
the
creativity
and
vibrancy
that
comes
with
public
art,,
the
culture,,
the
value,.
Everything
that
comes
from
this
type
of
creativity
is
what
the
breeze
of
innovation
is
all
about.
and
while
some
people
may
object
to
the
breeze,
I
know
there
was
a
tremendous
amount
of
applications
that
you
received
and
narrowed
it
down
to
three,
and
then
this
one
in.
L
L
L
L
L
Where
to
put
briese
of
innovation
and
have
it
accessible
to
all,
this
is
centrally
located..
The
park
is
utilized
for
a
lot
of
different
events.
Christmas
in
the
park
being
one.
The
jazz
festival,
provide
a
lot
of
activities
meet
in
cesar
chavez
park,
so
it
would
be
nice
to
have
something
that
they
could
look
at..
The
people
could
look
and
experience
and
be
involved
around
while
they're
listening
to
music
and
participating
in
those
events..
L
B
Know,
I
know
that
there
is,
for
example,
in
the
memo
you
coauthored
with
the
mayor
direction
to
prioritize,
exploring,
I
think,
some
clarification
around
that
would
be
helpful.
it
in
a
way
reads.
We
would
prioritize
this
project
over
other
projects
in
the
city.,
but
I
think
what
is
meant
is
prioritize.
The
items
a,,
b
and
c
as
part
of
this
project.-
that's
correct.
ok,.
L
B
Generally,
not
my
preference
to
start
with
the
master
plan.
This
the
last
time
we're
in
front
of
council.
We
got
a
pretty
broad
direction
on
a
bunch
of
outreach
we
needed
to
do
at
arena
green..
We
never
got
around
to
doing
that
for
a
variety
of
reasons
that
we
talked
about.
and
when
you
listen
for
example,
to
the
public
comments,
you'll
see
that
they're
on
both
sides.
B
I
think
part
of
the
reason
we
still
see
that
in
the
community
is
because
we
haven't
done
community
outreach
around
this..
We've
not
explained
a
lot
of
the
details..
When
you
listen
to
some
of
the
speakers,,
it's
clear
that
they
don't
have
a
complete
understanding
of
what
we're
trying
to
do.
you
know,
for
example,
this
project
we
didn't
intend
to
involve
no
city
money..
This
project
is
unusual
in
that
in
principle,
it.
B
But
my
concern
my
biggest
concern,
probably
is
that
when
I
look
at
these
memos
and
we're
talking
about
great
things,
right
stages
in
the
arts
and
christmas
in
the
park-
and
I
think
what
we're
going
to
see
is
when
we
start
with
this
community
outreach,
all
of
those
groups,
including
the
downtown
business
district
who's,
been
who's
been
talking
to
me
for
years
about
improvements
in
cesar
chavez
are
going
to
say.
Oh
let's
do
that
too,
and
let's
do
that
too,
and
let's
do
that
too..
Let's
do
that
too.
B
and
suddenly
an
already
very
expensive
project
just
becomes
that
much
more
expensive.
And
it's
not
clear
to
me
if
the
expectation
is
well,
urban
confluence.
Does
the
art
in
the
icon
in
is
the
city,
then
that
does,
for
example,
performance
pavilion
for
the
arts
groups
or
does
something
for
christmas
in
the
park
or
has
to
move
the
fountain
or
things
like
that.?
B
B
Connection
on
here's,
what
we
see
as
feasible,
because
I
think
if
we
start
adding
all
this
stuff
in
it
probably
starts
to
get
into
the
infeasible
area
and
then
what?
What
are
we
using
our
time
to
do??
So
my
preference
is
to
do
the
broader
community
outreach
then
come
back
and
say
this
is
what
we
heard..
Here's
the
elements
that
we
all
think
makes
sense
and
we'll
go
in
here
and
that
the
project
could
afford
to
do
right.
B
That
would
your
realistic,
fundraising,
sort
of
goals
versus
just
jump
into
a
master
plan
do
all
this,
which
includes
sequence,,
you
know,
and
all
that
stuff,
which
are
very
complicated,,
long,
expensive
processes,
and
I
can
understand
why
some
might
want
to
get
moving
on
that
we've
been
delayed
for
about
two
years..
We
are
definitely
well
behind.
Where
either
of
us
would
have
thought
we
would
have
been
today,.
That's
for
sure.
and
there's
reasons
for
that..
It's
nobody's
fault,
but
here
we
are.
B
B
AV
Concerns
just
to
remind
you
today
is
only
an
approval
for
us
to
do
breeds
of
innovation,
specific
outreach.,
that's
what
the
memo
says..
The
two
blue
memos
have
nuances
and
are
a
little
bit
less
clear.,
but
we
simply
want
to
go.
Do
breeds
of
innovation,
specific
outreach
and
come
back
to
you
with
what
the
community
has
to
say
to
us,
because
our
goal
is
to
collaborate
with
everyone
in
the
community,
with
neighbors
of
the
park,
users
of
the
park,
users,
citizens
who
go
to
the
park
once
a
year
and
everyone
else..
AV
So
I
think
we
are
being
with
john's
help
the
good
citizens
and
wanting
to
do
this.
The
right
way
and
listen
to
what
the
community
has
to
say
and
then
we'll
come
back
to
you
with
those
results
and
the
issue
about
the
park.
Governance
and
the
master
plan
are
really
separate
issues
which
I
think
all
of
us
who
care
about
the
park
want
to
advance
those
things.
At
the
same
time,
too,
with
the
premise
being
that
nothing
significant,
the
park
can
probably
happen
without
a
master
plan..
AV
So
I
would
defer
to
john
as
an
expert
in
that
area,
but
I'm
hoping
that
a
park
master
plan
and
park
outreach
as
opposed
to
reason
of
innovation.
Specific
outreach
can
happen
in
a
timely
way,
also.,
but
just
a
reminder.
The
original
memo
that
john
wrote
is
just
about
allowing
us
to
study
the
park
and
go
do
breeze,
specific
outreach,
which
we
intend
to
do
posthaste
if
you
approve
it
today..
Thank
you.
L
L
L
The
cost
should
breeze
of
innovation,
but
our
urban
confluence
bear
the
cost..
Is
there
some
the
conservancy?
Does
the
conservancy
bear
the
cost??
Those
are
all
things
that
I
think
need
to
be
explored
and
that's
why
that's
in
the
memo
is.
It
gives
you
marching
orders
if
you
will
to
explore
those
things
that
could
benefit
and
heighten
the
use
and
experience
of
the
park.
and.
B
B
As
you
know,
if
we
move
towards
master
plan,
something
like
that
that
involves
bbc
at
a
much
deeper
level
or
the
sequel
is
all
those
good
things
take
a
lot
of
effort.
I'm
sure,
though,
the
urban
concludes
we'll
have
a
consultant
helping
manage
this
or
other
professionals
that
they'll
be
paying.,
but
it's
a
it's
a
reimbursement
model
where
they
deposit
and
we
charge
against,
and
then
we
would
be
working
through
that
budget..
So,
let's
just
say:
the
scenario
today
is
go:
do
the
outreach
and
come
back
and
tell
us
all
about
that.
you
know,?
B
We
would
attempt
to
then
start
answering
some
of
these
other
questions.
for
example,
the
long.
How
do
you
operate?
It?
right.?
How
do
you
pay
for
operations,
which
is
it's
it's
conversations,
we've
already
had.,
but
there's
clearly
there's
questions
in
the
public
about
how
those
things
happen,
and
we
won't
be
able
to
explain
that
through
the
outreach.,
so
so
yes,
they
are
paying
and
we
would
expect
them
to
continue
paying
unless
the
council
direct
it
otherwise.
um,.
AV
Another
point
of
clarification
is
that
breeze
has
always
been
intended
to
be
a
gift
that
we
are
going
to
pay
for,
that's
been
from
the
very
beginning,
and
then
we
ended
up
working
hand
in
hand
with
the
chavez
family,
both
chavez,
family
vision
and
the
cesar
chavez
foundation..
So
we
added
into
our
scope
elements
that
honor
cesar
chavez
which
aren't
aren't
designed
yet..
AV
L
A
You
listed
a
number
of
important
points
just
before
we
continue
the
conversation
just
on
the
group
memo
from
tourism
as
konan
candelas.
I
would
ask
just
a
couple
of
kind
of
tactical
questions.
Just
as
we
may
want
to
modify
the
motion
and
just
to
be
clear
motion
was
from
councilor
foley,
second
by
councilor
davis
and
included
both
group
members..
So
just
on
the
park
master
plan,,
I
think
I
heard
from
john
a
preference
to
go
out
and
gather
feedback.
A
B
B
A
The
spirit
of
it
we
might
want
to
entertain.
We
support
a
modification
to
better
align
with
the
approach,
john
suggesting,
for
reasons
noted
on
b.
I
think
the
spirit
makes
perfect
sense..
I
would
just
note,
however,
may
not
be
the
city
doing.
This
may
be
something
that's
incorporated
through
the
work
of
bridges
of
innovation,
depending
on
what
they
come
back
with..
If
the
council
is
supportive
of
that.
A
and
then
finally
on
c
again,
just
tactical
question,
john,,
do
we
actually
need
a
traffic
study
specifically
to
do
that??
What
will
that
make
sense??
I
know
we
now
have
a
the
downtown
transportation
plan
and
I'm
just
curious
how
those
intersect
the
more
that
we
can
reduce
costs
and
staff
burden
the
better
as
long
as
we're
engaged
with
stakeholders
and
have
enough
data
to
make
good
decisions.
right..
So
thank
you.
B
B
B
B
B
Five
acres
in
this
park
is
not
quite
at
five
acres,
so
the
footprint
needs
to
be
widened
to
accommodate
the
project,
but
also
needs
to
be
widened
to
even
allow
for
us
to
have
the
flexibility
to
enter
a
long
term
agreement
with
a
different
operator
other
than
the
city
come.
Ok,
I
may
have
a
few
other.
A
BE
Raises
a
very
important
part,
very
important,
point.,
you
know,.
If
we
jump
right
into
a
master
plan,
you
talk
about
something
really
kind
of
bog
this
process
down.,
it
would
definitely
be
the
master
plan.
yeah,
traffic
study
will
further
exacerbate
that..
One
way
to
do
this
is
to
chuck
this
down.
Kind
of
back
to
kind
of
steve's
point
is
to
just
go
forward
with
the
staff
with
john's
memo
to.
BE
Explore
this
site
as
step
one
and
take
recommendation
number
three
from
your
and
customer
folies

recommendation

making
sure
that
sounds.

then

the
other

is
something
that

can
include

they're
exploring
a
site..
All
these
issues
are
going
to
come
up
in
that
exploration
process
and
that
a
release
can
potentially
inform
a
more
formal
master
plan
if,
in
fact,
it
pans
out
that
this
would
be
a
good
site..
BE
A
Makes
sense.
and
that's
and
that's
primarily
modifying
this
concept
to
go
into
a
master
plan..
I
will
note
that
the
wrex
one
and
two
in
our
memo
uses
the
verb
explore
and,
I
think,
that's
fairly
flexible.,
that's
correct..
We
might
want
to
strike
the
word
implementation
for
now,
just
until
we
hear
back
from
you
all,
if
that's
helpful,
just
from
the
memo
from
counselor
and
myself.,
but
again,,
I'm
not
the
maker
of
the
motion..
I
just
want
to
highlight
a
few
of
the
more
tactical
pieces..
Let
me
why
don't
we
continue
the
conversation.?
A
O
O
B
Hope
that
it
would
be
at
the
very
next
meeting
when
we
came
back
and
hopefully
had
the
positive
sort
of
vision
connected
now
and
stakeholders
on
board
and
some
positive
outlook
and
say
ok,,
we
feel
like
we've
got
a
project
that
the
community
is
going
to
support
and
then
we'd
ask
for
permission
to
move
forward
on
a
master,
plan.,
ok,,
all
right..
So.
O
B
O
And
and
then
so,
obviously,
steve
and
his
group
are
going
to
go
out,
continue
the
work
which
I'm
supportive,
a
very
appreciators
inclusive
nature,
really,,
really
trying
to
bring
in
all
the
different
stakeholders.
steve.
But
if
it's
determined
like
this
is
this
is
a
good
site.
We
do
want
to
move
forward
and
continue
and
see
how
it
actually
would
take
shape
and
that
would
then,.
You
know,
flip
that
switch,,
if
you
will,
to
then
go
ok,
master,
plan.,
correct.,
all
right.,
ok
and
so.
AV
Really
important
point,
for
you
all
to
remember
is
that
there
were
references
made
earlier
to
breese
of
innovation
being
far
too
big
and
out
of
scale
for
the
park,
et
cetera,
et
cetera..
There
is
no
scale..
I
just
want
to
remind
the
public,
the
people
here
and
also
all
of
you.
There
is
no
scale.
it's
an
idea.
We
did
some
visualizations
that
caused
people
confusion..
The
first
iteration
of
reason
of
innovation
had
500
rud's.
The
second
iteration
had
a
thousand
rods
when
they
were
trying
to
win
a
competition..
AV
AV
O
O
O
I
think
I
don't
want
to
do
anything
that
the
only
thing
I
want
to
do
as
it
relates
to
ceasar
chavez,
is
as
a
hants
or
brought
in
his
legacy
as
it
relates
to
this
park.,
and
so
anything
short
of
that
I
wouldn't
be
supportive
of
it.,
and
so
I
think
you
know
that
in
all
the
conversations
you've
had.,
so
I
think
that's
already
built
in
so
we
can
I'm
not.
We
can.
A
O
right.,
but
you
also
acknowledge
that
we
would
potentially
need
to
expand
that
in
order
to
expand
the
sort
of
the
footprint
of
the
park
to
allow
for
any
new
sort
of
development.
Even
if-
and
I
suspect
that
probably
applies
even
if
bresnik
innovation
didn't
come
and
we
sought
to
expand
the
stage
and
do
other
things,,
it
would
probably
be
necessary.
It
would
advantage.
AV
O
B
O
Right.
well,
given
the
shifting
some
of
the
language,
I'm
ok
with
it.,
I
think
still
honors
is
the
spirit
of
the
memo
and
I
had
gone
back
and
forth
as
to
whether
we
were
too
prescriptive..
I
know
this
is
where
at
the
start
of
the
process-
and
I
think
all
of
us
are
going
to
be
paying
close
attention.,
so
I
feel
I
feel
comfortable
sort
of
with
the
adjustments..
Are
you
asking.
AU
AU
AU
Every
time
we
have
a
meeting
that
when
we
have
big
events
in
san
jose,
like
events
that
are
literally
all
in
san
jose,
like
the
u.s.
figure
skating
championships,,
they
still
on
tv,,
they
still
show
the
golden
gate
bridge.
That
is
nowhere
near
here..
We
absolutely
need
a
landmark
and
having
a
true
landmark
in
our
own
city
will
help
raise
the
visibility
of
san
jose
and
I
think
that's
really
important
..
I
do
have
a
question
see
about
a
question
about
the
conservancy.
I
we
already
have.
AU
AU
AU
B
That,
ideally
frees
up
the
regular
funding
to
do
other
things
in
the
city
parks
outside
of
those
areas.
In
the
worst
scenarios,
they
don't
work
at
all..
So
it's
hard
for
me
to
predict
the
future.,
but
you
know,
it's
interesting.
We
actually
went
round
and
round
in
this
conversation
as
well
with
google,
because
I
believe
we're
developing
and
I
think
it's
for
parks
as
a
part
of
that
project.
B
They
wanted
to
manage
them
all
with
a
conservancy
and
in
that
situation
we
actually
put
that
conversation
off
to
the
future,
because
we
were
thinking
well,,
we
don't
need
to
figure
out
a
conservancy
right
now..
This
is
ten
years
away.
but
and
I
would
say
the
same
here.
I
don't
I
don't
that
we
have
to
have
the
answer.
Yet
this
conservancy,
the
the
plaza
conservancy,
I
believe
we're
calling
it
just
formed.
B
Like
last
week.,
so
I
think
they're
still
forming
and
I
don't
even
know
that's
coalesced
frankly.,
so
you
know,
it'll,
take
more
conversations
and
understanding
about
what
their
capacity
might
be
and
whether
that
capacity,
for
example,
would
only
be
breeds
of
innovation,
extend
to
the
entire
footprint
of
the
park,
right?
yeah..
So
they.
B
B
Question.
you
know,,
none
of
them
are
working
together
now,
although
many
of
them
know
each
other.,
I
mean
I
know,
steve
has
met
with
the
san
jose
leavitt
folks
and
talked
about
trying
to
collaborate..
It
didn't
work
out
that
well,
but
but
they're
aware
of
each
other.,
some
of
them
known
each
other
for
years..
Obviously
he
knows
the
guadalupe
river
conservancy,
because
we're
going
to
be
in
their
park
chain
but
they're
there..
You
have
an
example
where
we're
actually
doing
a
lot
of
the
maintenance
in
that
park
chain:
still.
B
B
AV
AV
These
parks
are
raising
private
money
to
improve
public
parks
and
they
typically
are
a
single
park,
and
the
reason
is
that
the
singular
focus
on
that
park
is
one
of
the
advantages
of
a
conservancy
that
you've
got
a
board
and
you've
got
donors
who
specifically
care
about
that
park
as
opposed
to
combining
a
bunch
of
parks
in
a
geographic
area..
New
york
has
about
twenty
park
conservancy..
You
know,
we've
all
been
in
new
york.,
I
didn't
know
there
were
any
conservancies
in
new
york
a
year
ago..
AV
These
conservancy
models
end
up
liberating
public
money
to
go
to
other
parks,
because
the
private
money
ends
up
replacing
public
money,
and
on
top
of
that,
you
get
economic
development
very
commonly
in
these
parks
that
ends
up
bringing
more
money
to
the
general
fund.
so
rather
than
money
from
the
general
fund.
These
parks
end
up
being
a
massive
net
positive
to
to
the
general
fund.
and
one
of.
AV
The
real
points
about,
why
would
people
donate
to
conservancies
and
why
not?
Why
don't
they
just
donate
money
to
cities,
most
taxpayers
think
they've
already
donated
to
the
city
and
so
they're
excited
to
give
focused
donations.
council
member
davis,
for
example,
someone
might
love
levitt,
pavilion
in

plaza
de
cesar
chavez,
etc.
AV

AU
AU

AU

AV
B
It
would
still
go
through
a
normal
process
where
you
do
a
procurement
and
you
ask
for
the
public
to
bid
and
through
that
process
we
would
have
to
engage
the
city.
Council.-
we
would
talk
about
what
what
terms
does
the
city
want
for
this
and
what
are
our
expectations
of
the
conservancy??
So
we
would
have
that
opportunity
to
define
those
roles
and
and
responsibilities
as
we
got
closer
to
it.
thank
you,.
A
And
I
was
hoping
to
go
there
as
well
as
councilor
davis
didn't,
I
think,
there's
obviously
great
potential
to
sort
of
adopt
a
park,
adopt
library
concept
if
there's
a
lot
of
passion,
but
obviously
has
to
have
a
certain
level
of
of
critical
mass
and
commitment..
I
also
want
to
just
reiterate,
I
think,
councilor
davis,,
a
point
about
having
a
visual
landmark
,,
an
icon
that
the
city
becomes
associated
with
is
a
very.
A
D
I
do
I
do
share
council
or
davis's
frustration
when
I
see
the
golden
gate
bridge
every
time,
there's
an
event
in
san
jose.
It
occurred
to
me
while
watching
the
warriors
yesterday
and
they
were
showing
sacramento
that
in
reality,
sacramento
is
basically
the
same
distance
from
san
francisco..
Why
aren't
they
showing
the
golden
gate
bridge
for
sacramento
when
they
show
it
for
san
jose??
It's
not
clear
to
me.
of
course,.
You
know
the
golden
gate
bridge
will
always
be
the
draw
that
everyone
will
show.,
so
you
know,.
Hopefully
we
get
something
when
we
talk.
D
About
a
conservancy.,
you
know,,
the
unfortunate
truth
is
that
at
this
point,
there's
not
as
much
there's
not
as
many
people
taking
pride
in
downtown
and
really
wanting
to
contribute
to
these
conservancies.
And
I
hope
we
can
change
that..
I'm
hoping
that
with
our
vibrancy
efforts
that
with
the
growth
of
downtown
that
that
that
can
make
a
difference,
and
we
can
start
to
compete
with
other
cities
in
that
regard
and
and
really
build
up.
These
parks
and
I
hope,
a
conservancy
for
four
downtown
for
for
the.
D
Park
chavez
park
will
be
broader
than
a
breeze
innovation
conservancy,
but
a
park
wide
conservancy
is,
I
think
the
park
is
really
important
as
as
an
entire
piece.,
but
I
want
to
thank
you,
steve
and
the
the
board
of
urban
influence
and
by
the
way,
urban
conference
still
works..
It's
an
urban
confluence
of
where
people
come
together
in
the
cities
anyway.,
but.
D
D
The
reason
why
I
signed
on
to
the
memo
we've
had
some
of
those
details
in
it,
and
I
appreciate
the
amendments
we've
been
making.
was
that
an
outreach
process
was
focused
on
briese
of
innovation
alone.
I
don't
believe
will
be
productive
if
people
are
thinking
about
that
project
by
itself
and
whether
where
it
should
be,
that's
a
different
question,
then
how
does
it
fit
in
with
whatever
future
amenities
we
want
in
a
park??
D
So
to
me
the
outreach
has
to
be-
and
I
appreciate
what
angel
was
saying
about
this-
the
outreach
has
to
include
that
conversation
about
what
do
you
want
in
this
park,
and
can
this
be
part
of
that??
Is
this?
Is
this
a
stop
a
cap
for
a
new
stage,
or
for
or
is
this
somewhere
else
in
the
park,
and
where
are
the
over
all
the
things
we
want
in
this
park,
because
people
are
not
going
to
be
able
to
visualize
that
breeds
of
innovation
fits
unless
they
know
what
else
they're
getting
out
of
the
park.?
D
Memo
I
I
do
appreciate
this
question
of
whether
a
master
plan
is
the
right
thing..
I
think
the
vision
really
of
maybe
I
speak
for
myself,
but
maybe
the
coauthors
as
well
was
that
that
holistic
view
has
to
be
taken
as
we
move
right
now,
because
we're
not
going
to
get
the
right
answer
without
a
holistic
view
and
whether
we
call
it
a
master
plan
or
preparing
for
a
master
plan
or
an
outreach
process,
to
me,
that's
really
the
point.,
but
I
do
appreciate.
D
I
think
we
need
to
have
a
conversation
with
the
council,,
the
city
and
princess
about
what
master
plans
really
mean..
John
knows
very
well
that
we
have
two
big
master
plans
or
we
have
one
and
another
one
coming
in
north
san
jose
for
two
huge
parts
we
visa
master
plan
is
twenty
years
old
that
I
think,
gave
people
a
false
sense
of
what
is
coming
to
their
park..
So
once
you
write
them
draw
a
master
plan.
If
the
master
plan
is
this
idea
that
here's.
D
D
I
think
thinking
about
what's
possible
at
this
park,
is
really
the
spirit
of
what
we
are
asking
for..
So
I
appreciate
that-
and
I
know
this
is
early..
I
just
want
to
bring
this
up
because
I
love
talking
about
trees..
I
was
walking
through
the
park,
just
the
other
day.,
I
noticed
just
in
parts
of
the
park.
There
are
huge,
great,
mature
trees,
and
I
was
just
thinking
about
our
memo
and
saying
I
really
don't
want
a
master
plan
that
says
we
got
to
clear
out
all
these
trees
and
and
start
from
scratch.
D
W
Colleague,
no
council
member
david
corn,
said,
I
think
it's
not
a
debatable
item
whether
we
want
one,,
whether
we
need
one..
I
think
it's
a
given
that
a
city,
the
10th
largest
city
in
the
in
the
country
should
have
something
like
that.
and
I
think
in
terms
of
the
discussion,
it
was
just
going
on..
Is
it
a
massive
plan
or
is.
W
W
Obvious
question
is
going
to
be
it's
feasible
to
yes.,
build
the
structure.
what's
going
to
be
around
it?.
Is
that
going
to
fit
with
it
or
not??
Okay?
So
whatever
that
means
the
being
able
to
answer
that
question
is
really
the
scope
of
your
feasibility
study..
The
answer
is
from
there,
because
if
it
is
strictly
it
will
the
structure
be
possible
to
build
that's,
not
the
complete
answer.
W
B
Think
the
purpose
of
this
outreach
really
is
to
to
nail
down
some
of
these
things
and
be
able
to
come
back
to
the
council
and
say
well,.
When
we
talk
to
the
community,
here's
here's
what
we
coalesced
around
or
here's
what
we
wanted
and
here's
what
may
be
feasible
and
here's
what
may
not
be
feasible
out
of
all
those
things.
It's
not
necessarily
us..
B
It's
come
back
and
say
here's
everything
everybody
want,
or
it's
going
to
pile
it
all
in
there
in
the
park,
because
that's
probably
not
realistic
at
all.
no..
So
we
understand
that.,
but
I
also
understand
the
reality,
which
is
there's
a
lot
of
stakeholders
around
this
space
and
there's
a
lot
of
things.
They're
going
to
want.
B
B
Where
you
say
you
basically
have
a
basic
layer,,
a
first
phase,
where
you
say
this
is
what
we
can
afford
and
in
everything
else
other
than
that
is
is
noted
for
the
record
and
if
we
get
money,
we'd
be
happy
to
add
them,
but
we're
really
only
going
to
do
this
basic
piece
of
it
so
that
the
community
doesn't
then
think
they're
going
to
get
everything
got
thrown
into
the
master
plan..
So
that's
our
approach.!
That's.
W
W
W
Assurance
to
the
people
that
have
we
have
thought
about
it,
and
we
know
that
we
can
raise
the
funds
which
will
be
needed
to
build
it
and
to
operate
and
maintain
it
for
some
length
of
time,
so
that
the
people
feel
excited
about
doing
this
thing
that
they
are
not
fearful
that
a
few
years
down
the
road.
This
thing
structure
is
going
to
become
difficult
for
them
or
an
eyesore.
ok,.
The

from
the
first
time
we've
were
approved
by
council,
and
this
would
be
the
fourth
time

successful.
Today.
It's
always
been
clear
that
some
kind
of
combination
of
earned
income
and
endowment
and
ongoing
fundraising
will
be
necessary
before
us.
Council
will
even
accept
the
gift..
So

you're
saying
is
completely
correct?
yeah,.

want
to
thank
you
again
for
your
tireless
efforts.
Here.,
I
know
it's.
It's
a
public-spirited
vision.
you're,
really
thinking
about
the
common
good
of
our
city..
I
think
there's
a
lot
potential
here
and
I'm
happy
to
support
the
motion
on
the
floor,,
appreciate
all
the
comments
and
good
questions
and
points.
My
colleagues
made..
A
AH

Asked
them
for
help,
and
they
said
they
couldn't
do
anything
for
me
and
if
I
lifted
up
my
hands
I
would
be
evicted..
I
would
be
exited
out
of
the
shelter..
The
nobody
told
me
that
I
was
going
to
be
the
example
of
a
filthy
condition
that
they
lived
by..
They
had
to
step
over
feces.,
I
stepped
over
a
meth
pipe
and
I'm
not
a
druggie,
but
now
I'm
I'm
I'm
ashamed
of
what
to
show
my.
AH

Uh,
I
have
cancer.,
I
got
no
cure.,
they
asked
me,
do
you
take
your
pills?,
I
said
no,,
I
don't
take
them
pills..
I
do
a
lot
of
exercises..
I
can
get
tired,
so
I
don't
feel
my
body
on
fire
and
I
drink..
I
have
a
cup
of
coffee,
so
I
can
go
to
sleep..
Those
are
my
drugs.,
but
other
than
that.
I
don't
feel
I
should
have
to
go
through
all
this
or
my
dog
that
they
kidnaped.
So
I
don't.
AH
A
Just
interject,
thank
you
for
being
here
and
I'm
sorry
to

about
your

something
we
can
do

AH
Know
what
to
do
because
I'm
getting
shuffled
down
as
shelters
and
still
being
abused.,
you

I'm
not
here
to
abuse
the
system
or
anything..
I

no
clothes

they
took
them
away
for
me..
They
took
her
leashes,,
they
took
food,,
they
took
everything.,

I

pairs
of
clothes

Just
the
three
and
I'm
calling
about
the
senior
commission.-
we
have
two
or
three
individuals
that
have
applied
at
the
senior
commission
to
be.
On
the
senior
commission.-
it
feels
like
the
city
council
is
slightly
stalling
in
getting
those
individuals
on
there..
We
cannot
have
a
quorum
because
we
don't
have
those
individuals
on
the.
BJ
Senior
commission,
yet
there's
been
nobody
from
city
council
who
said
yes,.
You
can
fill
that
role.,
you
fill
out
the
application
and
you
were
appointed
to
the
senior
commission..
I
know
that
you're
refocussing
a
little
bit
on
how
commissions
are
working,
such
as
the
neighborhood
commission
and
other
commissions
on
structure,
et
cetera,
et
cetera.,
but
we
are
ready
to
go..
We
would
like
to
have
a
quorum
by
may
and
we
are
engaged
in
our
community.
BJ
P
Beekman
here.
thanks
a
lot
for
the
meeting
today..
It
was
my
intention
to
really
make
clear
that
it's
rita
light
rail
drivers
that
have
a
real
morale
that
we
have
to
rally
around
and
help
build
and
how
to
talk
about
the
future
of
the
of
the
airport.
Project..
Good
luck
in
those
efforts
by
ourselves
for
this
meeting,
today.

Issue
to
continue
our
efforts
to
make
it
a
community
process..
I've
noticed
this
has
had
some
sort
of
federal
relationship
to
it..
Federal
investigation
is
probably
possibly
it
was
the
beginning
of
this,
and
they
were
doing
the
same
with
federal
agencies
were
possibly
doing
some
of
the
same
investigative
work
in
antioch
in
the
antioch
police
area
that
they
were
monitoring
the
police
and
noticing
really
bad
practices
by
them
that
are
now
coming
to
light
and
becoming
a
full
community
process.
That's
being
talked
about
openly
in
their
council
chambers
and
in
their
meetings..
P
We're
not
doing
that
here
in
san
jose
yet..
I
hope
we
can.
I
hope
we
can
develop
the
tools
as
a
community
process,
to
really
talk
about
these
issues
and
not
be
afraid,
to..
I
know
how
much
you
guys
want
to
support
the
police..
You
have
to
look
at
the
downside
as
well
and
how
they
actually
do
hurt
community
sometimes-
and
we
have
to
have
honest
conversations
about
that
and
you
guys
can't
be
afraid
to
have
those
conversations
and
that's
it's
that
honesty.

They
have
less
than
three
weeks
to
complete
and
submit
the
application
which
takes
about
15
minutes.
If
we
don't
apply
for
the
grant,
san
stands
to
lose
one
hundred
thousand
dollars.
That
would
help
us
comply
with
the
new
law..
So
we
have
a.j.
is
asking
the
city
council
and
the
mayor
to
apply
for
the
grant
to
ease
the
process
for
residents
to
get
solar
batteries
before
the
looming.

deadline.
