You
thank
you
all
right,
we're
convening
for
a
special
meeting
this
morning
of
july
28th,
let's
rise
for
the
pledge
of
allegiance,
if
you're
able
to
do
so,
I
pledge
allegiance
to
the
flag.
A
Thank
you.
Everyone
there's
just
one
item
on
today's
agenda:
that's
3.1,
which
is
consideration
of
a
ballot
measure
to
amend
the
city
charter
implementing
ordinance.
I
know
there's
been
some
supplemental
memoranda
submitted
by
the
city
attorney's
office
as
well
as
city
clerk's
office.
Ed
or
tony
did
you
want
to
speak
to
those.
A
G
Sorry
about
that,
so
I'm
ed
moran
from
the
city
attorney's
office
and
mark
is
avani
is
also
here.
Rick,
unfortunately,
will
not
be
able
to
join
us
today.
G
The
supplemental
memo
that
came
out
is
simply
a
clarification
of
a
footnote,
so
it
was
a
type
of
graphical
error
in
the
in
the
footnote
that
was
in
the
original
one,
and
so
it
there
really
is
no
substantive
changes
that
are
in
the
supplemental
and
we
have
provided
a
memo
where
mark
attempted
to
describe
this
quite
complex
ballot
measure
that
we
were
directed
to
draft,
and
hopefully
you
were
able
to
understand
what
we
were
attempting
to
do
in
that
or
in
that
ballot.
G
Measure
mark
is
available
here,
and
I
want
to
give
mark
a
lot
of
kudos
for
the
work
that
he
did
in
the
last
couple
of
weeks.
G
As
you
all
know,
with
there's
quite
a
bit
of
I,
there
are
quite
a
bit
of
provisions
in
this
ballot
measure
and
I
think
mark
tried
his
best
to
get
all
of
the
directions
into
this
measure
and
mark
is,
is
available
to
start
the
presentation
and
in
light
of
the
various
memos
that
came
out,
we
can
give
you
the
entire
presentation
that
we
had
planned
to
give
you
this
morning,
which
is
about
20
minutes
or
and
simply
be
available
to
discuss
so
mark.
H
Okay,
good
at
good
morning,
everyone,
my
name,
is,
as
ed
said,
mark
bonnie,
I'm
a
deputy
city
attorney
with
the
city
attorney's
office,
and
I
am
sharing
my
screen.
So
if
anybody
can't
see
it,
please
let
me
know.
H
As
ed
mentioned,
we
had
prepared
a
presentation
on
what
the
proposed
measure
would
do,
and
these
were
some
of
the
key
things
that
the
measure
would
do,
but
in
light
of
the
memorandum
and
other
items
that
have
been
discussed
in
the
last
couple
of
days,
if
you
guys
want
me
to
continue
with
the
presentation,
I'm
happy
to
do
so.
Otherwise,
I'm
available
to
answer
any
questions
that
you
may
have
about
these
particular
items.
A
The
issue
of
moving
the
mayoral
election
certainly
seems
to
be
a
live
one
still,
as
well
as
the
revision
to
redistricting
timelines.
If
there
are
other
matters
that
any
council
member
would
like
to
hear
mark
discuss,
you
certainly
could
hear
that
as
well.
So
let
me
just
ask:
I
know
that
councilmember
carrasco
customer,
as
far
as
I
have
their
hands
up,
but
I
suspect
they're
not
on
this
particular
question.
Let
me
ask
if
there
are
any
council
members
would
like
other
items
to
be
presented.
B
B
About
the
re,
more
information
on
the
redistricting
timeline
is
that
correct
that.
A
A
A
Okay,
all
right,
then,
why
don't
we
hear
everything.
H
Okay
sounds
sounds
good,
then
all
right,
so
the
proposed
measure
that
was
submitted
today
does
a
few
things.
First,
it
transitions
the
mayoral
elections
to
the
presidential
election
beginning
in
2024.
H
H
It
would
impose
prohibitions
on
regulating
lobbyists
and
city
contractors
as
well
consistent
with
council
direction
on
june
6
to
include
this
item.
If
other
ballot
measures
were
going
forward,
changes
to
the
size
and
composition
of
the
planning
commission,
as
well
as
a
proposal
brought
forward
by
the
city
attorney's
office
related
to
redistricting
and
the
timelines
in
the
charter
due
to
delays
in
the
2020
census.
H
So,
with
regard
to
the
mayoral
election,
the
proposed
measure
would
amend
the
charter,
sections
402,
500
and
1600,
which
deal
with
term
limits
as
well
as
elections,
and
it
would
move
the
mayoral
election
to
the
presidential
election
cycle,
beginning
in
2024
to
be
held
every
four
years
thereafter
and
to
accomplish
this
transition
there
will
be
no
mayoral
election
in
2022
and
the
term
of
the
office
of
the
mayor
that
began
on
january.
H
H
If
the
measure
were
approved
by
the
voters,
the
mayor
would
have
the
power
to
appoint
and
direct
the
city
manager,
as
well
as
the
power
to
direct
department
heads
the
city
manager
would
still
appoint
department
heads
and
the
council's
role
in
the
appointment
of
those
department.
Heads
would
not
change
and
then
beginning
on
july,
1
2023.
H
The
mayor
would
have
the
power
to
dismiss
the
city
manager
and
department
heads
now
with
regard
to
the
appointment
of
the
city
manager,
which
again
is
effective
january
1
2021
under
new
section
502,
a
the
mayor's
appointment
of
the
city
manager
would
only
take
effect
after
the
mayor
had
presented
the
appointment
to
the
other
members
of
the
council
at
a
the
next
closed
session
meeting
held
in
accordance
with
the
brown
act.
H
And
then
the
other
members
of
the
council
in
closed
session
could
reject
the
appointment
of
the
mayor
of
the
city
manager
by
a
vote
of
seven
members
of
the
council.
And
if
the
council
didn't
reject
the
mayor's
appointment
of
the
city
manager,
then
the
appointment
would
take
effect
and
the
mayor
would
announce
it
on
the
same
day.
H
With
regard
to
dismissal.
Again,
this
would
go
into
effect
july
1
2023
before
dismissal
could
take
effect.
However,
the
mayor
city
manager
must
promptly
notify
the
other
members
of
the
council
about
the
proposed
dismissal
and
cause
the
matter
to
be
heard
at
the
next
closed
session
meeting
at
least
72
hours
following
notification
of
said
dismissal
at
closed
session.
The
council
may
reject
the
proposed
dismissal
by
a
vote
of
seven
members
of
the
council,
and
if
the
council
rejects
the
proposed
dismissal,
then
that
person
won't
be
dismissed.
H
This
would
be
concurrent
with
any
power
that
the
city
manager
has
to
dismiss
department
heads
as
well
as
otherwise
disciplined
department
heads
and
this
provision
for
the
council
to
weigh
in
on
dismissal
of
department
heads
would
apply
whether
the
mayor
or
the
city
manager
were
the
person
who
was
doing
the
dismissing.
A
All
right,
we
are
interrupting,
I'm
sorry
for
interrupting.
I've
been
no
problem,
the
translators
that
are
available
to
assist
residents
who,
like
this
information,
translated,
I
believe
in
spanish
and
vietnamese.
That
could
be
incorrect,
but
tiffany
if
you
could
introduce
yourself
and
as
well
as
our
spanish
language
translator
as
well.
A
B
A
A
Okay,
tony,
can
you
help
us.
C
Yeah,
I
think
there
is
a
slight
glitch
with
the
interpretation,
so
I'm
we're
working
on
that,
but
it
is
available
for
spanish
and
vietnamese.
However,
if
you
need
vietnamese
translation,
you
actually
need
to
select
german,
oh
gosh
yeah,
so
we're
we're
working
on
that,
but
they
they
don't,
allow
vietnamese
translation.
They
only
allow
german.
I
should
have
it
ready
to
up
within
a
couple
minutes.
C
Yes,
this
is
the
first
time
we've
used
it
so
there
I
thought
everything
was
set
and
going,
but
it's
not
so
we're
working
on
it.
Okay,.
A
How
will
how
will
residents
know
if
they
have
services
available.
C
At
the
bottom
of
the
screen,
when
they're
viewing
through
zoom
there's
a
button
that
says
interpretation,
they
should
be
able
to
click
that
and
select
the
language
and
they'll
go
automatically
into
it.
As
soon
as
I
have
it
up
I'll
text
henry
and
let
him
know
to
tell
you
that
it's
it's
all
working.
C
Sorry,
yes,
and
then
I
have
a
language
that
was
put
up
on
the
screen
prior
to
the
start
of
the
meeting.
So
when
we
get
it
all
up,
I
can
share
that
screen
and
it
has
the
instructions.
Okay,.
F
F
This
is,
could
maybe
lon
just
announced
that
in
vietnamese
and
then
one
of
us
could
announce
it
in
spanish.
A
D
F
A
Thank
you,
okay,
mark
back
to
you,
okay,.
H
Thank
you
and
I
apologize
in
advance
to
the
interpreters
if
I'm
moving
quickly
I'll
so
moving
along
the
in
the
proposed
measure.
We
had
included
in
brackets
language
asking
for
clarification
as
to
whether
the
council.
H
Thank
you
would
apply
to
the
dismissal
of
the
city,
manager's
office
and
council
member
kama
submitted
a
memorandum
indicating
that
that
was
the
intention
with
the
memo
that
was
adopted
with
his
memo
that
was
adopted
last
week.
So
the
proposed
measure,
if
it
moved
forward,
would
include
language
that
the
council
would
have
an
opportunity
to
reject
a
proposed
dismissal
of
the
city
manager
by
a
vote
of
seven
members.
H
It
would
make
the
office
of
the
city
clerk
a
department
under
the
direction
of
the
mayor
and
city
manager,
effective
january
1,
2021,
a
city
clerk
would
be
appointed
like
a
department
head
and
beginning
july,
1
2023
the
clerk
could
be
dismissed
by
the
mayor
or
city
manager
like
a
department
head
subject
to
the
rejection
of
the
council
by
a
seven
vote
majority
and
to
clarify
as
well
that
if
this
measure
went
for
them,
the
city
manager
could
be
dismissed
by
the
excuse
me.
H
H
Other
conforming
changes
that
have
been
made
to
the
proposed
in
the
proposed
measure
would
be
if
the
city
manager
were
to
fail
to
appoint
an
acting
city
manager.
The
mayor
would
have
the
authority
to
appoint
one,
and
the
vice
mayor
would
continue
to
be
elected
by
the
council
and
serve
as
the
vice
mayor
during
the
absence
or
inability
of
the
mayor
to
discharge
his
or
her
duties.
H
So
what
we've
done
here
is
incorporate
it
in
such
a
way
that
it
would
apply
to
members
of
the
city
council
and
in
doing
that,
we've
established
under
the
charter,
a
news
section,
article
20,
as
well
as
an
implementing
ordinance,
to
define
the
specific
terms
and
establish
the
monetary
limits
set
forward
in
article
to
further
the
requirements
set
forward
in
article
20..
H
The
implementing
ordinance
could
be
enacted
before
the
election
to
become
operative
if
the
measure
passed
but
repealed,
if
it
did
not,
article
20
would
allow
the
council
to
also
amend
the
implementing
ordinance
to
further
the
purposes
of
article
20,
facilitate
the
effective
operation
of
the
council
or
city
government,
or
to
comply
with
a
lawful
court
order
and
accept,
when
necessary,
to
comply
with
a
lawful
court
order.
H
Any
change
in
the
ordinance
that
would
reduce
an
ethical
standard
would
need
to
be
adopted
by
a
two-thirds
vote
of
the
council,
which
is
similar
to
charter
section
607.
That
applies
that
requirement
to
other
reductions
in
ethical
standards.
H
This
approach
in
implementing
ordinance
is
similar
to
the
implementation
of
campaign,
finance
and
ethics
laws
under
the
california
political
reform
act
under
the
political
reform
act.
The
state
legislature
cannot
repeal
it,
but
the
law
allows
the
legislature
to
amend
it
with
a
two-thirds
vote
of
each
house
to
further
the
purposes
of
the
law,
and
the
fbpc
can
also
issue
regulations
for
that
same
purpose,
and
this
allows
flexibility
to
address
issues
or
unintended
consequences
in
the
future,
and
we
recommend
a
similar
approach
here.
H
So
the
new
article
20
imposes
two
distinct
requirements:
those
similar
after
section
84308.
First,
it
would
impose
a
contribution
limit
and
a
conflict
of
interest
scheme
related
to
campaign
contributors
that
would
apply
when
a
licensed
permit
or
other
entitlement
for
use
is
pending.
H
Now-
and
this
is
with
regard
to
the
contribution
limit,
and
so
the
general
rule
here
is
that
a
council
member
would
be
prohibited
from
accepting
soliciting
or
directing
a
contribution
of
more
than
250
from
any
party
or
participant,
while
proceeding
involving
a
licensed
permit
or
other
entitlement
for
use
is
pending
before
the
city
and
for
three
months
following
the
a
date.
A
final
decision
is
rendered
now.
The
charter,
the
article
20
under
the
new
charter,
would
allow
the
council
to
increase
this
limit.
H
The
contribution
limit,
as
set
forth
in
the
proposed
measure,
would
only
apply
to
council
members,
not
candidates
for
city
office,
running
for
city
council
who
are
not
yet
on
the
council,
and
this
is
because
government
code,
section
84308,
only
applies
to
officers
of
an
agency,
and
the
purpose
of
the
conflict
scheme
which
I
will
discuss
in
a
few
minutes,
is
intended
to
restrict
candidates
who
are
not
subject
to
this
contribution.
H
Limit
who
then
become
council
members
and
are
faced
with
a
decision
involving
one
of
their
campaign
contributors
if
they
accepted
over
250,
they
would
have
to
recuse
themselves
and
I'll
talk
about
that
in
a
little
bit.
H
But
as
an
alternative,
the
council
may
consider
extending
this
limit
to
candidates
for
city
office
or
keeping
it
just
applicable
to
members
of
the
council,
and
this
contribution
limit
if
the
measure
were
to
pass
would
be
in
addition
to
the
city's
existing
contribution
limit
of
six
hundred
dollars
to
council
members
and
thirteen
hundred
dollars
to
the
mayor
currently,
which
applies
to
all
contributors,
as
well
as
the
temporal
limit
which
permits
fundraising
180
days
before
the
election
and
through
the
general,
but
would
not
allow
it
at
any
other
time
now.
H
With
respect
to
the
conflict
of
interest
scheme,
and
this
is
in
addition
to
the
contribution
limit,
the
proposed
measure
would
prohibit
a
council
member,
including
the
mayor,
for
making
participating
in
the
making
of
or
in
any
way
attempting
to
use
his
official
position
to
influence
a
decision
in
a
proceeding
involving
a
licensed
permit
or
other
entitlement
for
use
before
the
city.
If
the
member
of
the
council,
willfully
or
knowingly
received
a
contribution
in
the
amount
of
250
within
the
proceeding
12
months,
so
that
is
quite
a
bit
of
a
mouthful.
H
But
the
idea
behind
this
is
to
address
situations
where
a
council,
member
or
a
candidate
accepted
more
than
250
dollars
in
campaign
contributions
and
then
a
couple
of
months
later,
maybe
a
permit
application
is
filed
and
that
permit
comes
before
the
city
and
the
council
member
accepted
money
above
250.
They
would
be
required
to
recuse
themselves.
H
This
prohibit
prohibition
is
broad
enough
to
cover
any
executive
action
by
the
mayor
and
that
gets
at
the
in
any
way
attempting
to
use
his
or
her
official
position.
H
But
as
with
government
code,
section
84308,
the
conflict
only
comes
into
play
if
the
contribution
was
received
for
the
council
member's
own
candidacy
or
control
committee.
So
it
wouldn't
come
into
play.
If
the
council
member
is
fundraising
for
another
candidate
or
a
ballot
measure
committee
and
in
addition,
article
20
would
allow
the
council
to
adjust
this
dollar
limit
to
to
account
for
increases
in
the
cost
of
living
as
well.
H
So
the
implementing
ordinance
defines
a
number
of
the
terms
that
are
set
forth
in
that
general
rule.
The
most
important
one,
I
would
think
is
when
does
it
apply
and
when
is
a
what
is
a
licensed
permit
or
other
entitlement
for
use,
and
we
borrowed
the
the
definition
from
section
84308
and
it
would
apply
in
decisions
related
to
all
business,
professional
trade
and
land
use
licenses
and
permits,
as
well
as
all
contracts
other
than
those
that
are
competitively
bid,
labor
personal
employment
contracts
and
all
franchises.
H
Such
a
will,
however,
may
conflict
with
our
duties
to
advise
the
board
of
fair
campaign
and
political
practices
and
enforcement
proceedings
which
I'll
touch
on
in
a
bit,
and
so
as
an
alternative.
We've
proposed
a
disclosure
requirement
consistent
with
the
framework
established
under
section
84308,
which
puts
the
onus
of
reporting
on
the
parties
and
participants
as
well
as
the
council
members.
H
One
way
of
assisting
affected
members
is
that
agencies
that
are
subject
to
this
requirement
will
often
require
a
disclosure
statement,
be
completed
and
bid
proposals
and
permit
applications
requiring
parties
to
disclose
their
campaign
contributions
right
for
for.
H
Okay
and
moving
on
with
regard
to
enforcement,
the
proposed
measure,
as
with
other
campaign
and
ethics
violations,
would
grant
the
board
of
fair
campaign
and
political
practices
jurisdiction
to
hear
complaints,
alleging
violations
of
article
20
and
the
implementing
ordinance
and
assessed
civil
penalties
where,
where
appropriate,
with
other
violations
under
title
20,
the
default
rule
with
penalties
in
the
board
is
up
to
five
thousand
dollars
for
each
violation
or
three
times
the
amount
which
was
unlawfully,
contributed
or
received.
H
Whichever
is
greater,
although
the
council
may
assess
a
different
penalty
scheme
if
it
deems
appropriate
one
thing,
or
one
limitation
in
article
20,
however,
is
that
the
failure
of
any
council
member
to
comply
with
the
conflict
of
interest
provision
will
not
affect
the
validity
of
any
action
taken
or
some
more
support
an
allegation
or
serve
as
a
basis
for
a
claim
of
potential
or
actual
bias
in
a
conflict.
H
In
addition,
article
20
would
not
prevent
a
conflicted
council
member
from
participating
in
the
decision
if
his
or
her
participation
is
legally
required.
This
is
intended
to
address
a
scenario
where
the
council
cannot
constitute
a
quorum,
because
a
majority
of
the
council
has
a
conflict
in
a
particular
matter.
H
H
A
501
c
3's,
however,
would
still
be
subject
to
the
gift
rules
under
the
city's
gift,
ordinance,
so
50
or
less
unless
an
exception
applies.
It
would
also
apply
to
city
officials,
which
includes
mayor
council
senior
staff
as
well
as
planning
commissioners
and
appeals
hearing
board.
Commissioners
now
important
considerations
with
this
gift
rule
is
no
gifts,
means
zero
gifts,
so
it
would
be
a
violation
if
a
gift,
above
even
one
cent,
were
received
or
accepted
unless
there's
an
exception
that
applies.
H
In
addition,
there
was
some
discussion
at
the
last
council
meeting
of
what
a
direct
beneficiary
of
a
city
contract
is
or
would
be.
We
defined
it
in
the
implementing
ordinance
as
any
person
identified
in
a
city
contract
as
having
a
direct
financial
interest
in
the
performance
of
a
contract,
so
think
subcontractors
consultants
retained
by
a
contractor.
H
In
addition
to
those
restrictions,
article
20
would
also
prohibit
a
registered
or
lobbyist
or
city
contractor
from
serving
on
a
border
commission
within
two
years
of
lobbying
activity
or
expiration
or
termination
of
a
contract
with
the
city.
This
is
prospective
so
current
board
members
who
would
otherwise
be
prohibited
under
article
20
can
continue
and
finish
their
current
term.
H
The
implementing
ordinance,
however,
does
create
an
exception
for
501c3
nonprofits
government
entities
and
groups
whose
representations
whose
representation
on
a
border
commission
may
be
required
by
law,
and
the
reason
for
this
is
that
certain
that
persons
for
from
certain
groups
are
required
by
ordinance
or
state
or
federal
law
to
have
a
seat
on
a
border
commission,
for
example,
the
work
to
future
board
the
city's
downtown
parking
board
by
law
there
are
certain
groups
are
required
to
have
representation
on
those
boards
and
employ
representatives
of
those
boards
may
work
for
entities
that
have
contracts
with
the
city.
H
Another
question
or
point
of
direction
for
the
council
is
whether
or
not
this
prohibition
would
apply
to
advisory
bodies
without
the
decision-making
authority
advisory
bodies.
H
In
addition,
the
proposed
measure
would
establish
a
blue
ribbon
commission
to
study
the
effectiveness
of
the
above
amendments
at
the
time
that
the
proposed
measure
was
drafted,
the
the
blue
ribbon
commission
there,
the
composition
as
well
as
any
other
requirements,
were
not
were
not
set
out.
The
only
requirement
was
that
the
report
would
be
done
by
march
of
2022.
H
In
addition,
the
proposed
measure
would
amend
charter
section
1000
to
increase
the
size
and
composition
of
the
planning
commission
from
7
to
11
members,
each
appointed
by
a
council
district
and
one
at-large
member
and
under
the
proposed
measure,
the
eighth
and
ninth
member
would
be
appointed
for
a
term
ending
june
30th
2022
and
the
10th
and
11th
member
would
be
appointed
for
a
term
ending
june.
30Th
2024
and
those
members
could
be
appointed
in
the
regular
course
of
business
if
the
measure
were
to
pass
with
regard
to
redistricting.
H
So
under
the
charter,
the
council
is
to
appoint
an
advisory
commission
and
this
advisory
commission
is
to
be
appointed
by
february
1st
2021
and
it
has
120
days
from
its
appointment
to
hold
at
least
three
public
hearings
and
issue
recommendations
to
the
council
for
redistricting.
So
120
days
from
february,
1
2021
is
june.
H
1
2021.,
the
council,
under
the
elections
code,
also
by
under
state
law,
has
to
hold
at
least
three
hearings
of
its
own
before
it
can
adopt
a
restrict
redistricting
ordinance
and
our
charter
sets
a
deadline
that
the
redistricting
ordinance
can't
be
enacted
must
be
enacted
no
later
than
october
31st.
So
all
this
assumes
that
the
census
will
be
timely
and
under
the
federal
law
the
census
is
required
to
be
delivered
to
the
states
on
march
31st
2021.
H
So
we
would
receive
it
by
april
1st
2021,
but
because
of
the
kova
19
pandemic,
the
census
has
issued
a
revised
schedule,
via
by
its
website
projecting
july
31st
2021.
As
the
last
day
it
will
deliver
the
redistricting
counts
to
the
states,
there's
also
a
few
bills
in
congress,
one
in
the
house
and
one
in
the
senate
to
authorize
this
extension
which
have
not
been
passed
yet.
H
So
our
proposed
amendment
that
we've
submitted
would
change
the
deadline
for
the
advisory
commission
recommendations
and
the
enactment
of
the
redistricting
ordinance
to
be
61
days
and
213
days,
respectively,
from
the
last
day
that
the
census
is
supposed
to
be
delivered
by
law
to
the
states
or
the
last
date
that
it's
actually
delivered
to
the
states.
Whichever
is
later,
and
so
this
was
done
with
the
thought
that
if
the
census
is
on
time,
the
original
deadlines
would
apply,
but
if
it's
late
it
would
be
extended
accordingly.
But
this
is
just
one
option.
H
The
council
can
consider
other
means
of
addressing
this
potential
issue.
For
example,
if
the
census
is
late,
the
council
could
extend
the
deadlines
by
ordinance.
We
could
write
that
into
the
charter
as
well,
so
we're
looking
for
direction
as
to
move
forward
on
this,
and
with
that
I'm
going
to.
I
haven't
amended
my
points
of
clarification
slide
here,
but
I
will
say
if
the
council
does
want
to
continue
with
the
proposed
measure.
H
We
need
some
direction
with
regard
to
whether
the
contribution
limit
should
apply
to
all
candidates,
whether
there
should
be
an
exception
for
lobbyists
and
contractors.
On
advisory
bodies,
as
well
as
options
for
timelines
with
regard
to
redistricting,
and
with
that
I'll
conclude
my
presentation
and
open
the
floor
to
any
questions
that
you
all
may
have.
A
Thank
you
mark.
We
will
come
back
to
the
council
for
questions
in
a
moment.
I
will
note
that
that
issue
about
extending
deadlines
for
the
redistricting
committee
is
not
one
simply.
It's
come
up
because
of
the
issues
around
this
late
census,
but
I
know
it's
come
up
in
past
decades.
I
remember
being
there
in
2010,
when
there
was
concern
about
whether
there
was
enough
time
to
get
all
that
information
from
the
census
office,
and
so
I
think,
that's
an
important
thing
for
us
to
do
anyway
and
allow
some
flexibility
there.
A
I
I
know
that
tony
also
submitted
a
memo.
Tony
did
you
want
to
discuss
your
memo.
C
It's
just
a
breakdown
of
election
costs,
so
the
first
ballot
measure
is
one
point:
approximately
1.7
million
it's
one
million
six
hundred
ninety
two
thousand
dollars
for
the
first
ballot
measure.
Any
additional
ballot
measures
are
629
000
so
that
that's
really
all
my
supplemental
was
as
a
breakdown
of
costs,
and
I
have
page
breakdowns
because,
depending
on
whether
you
allow
rebuttals
and
arguments
and
full
text
versus
a
summary,
the
price
does
change.
A
Yes
and
just
to
remind
us
what
we
have
budgeted
for
measures,
this
fall.
A
C
A
G
Okay-
and
we
have
posted
already
those
particular
documents
on
the
the
august
4th
agenda,
so
those
are
potentially
going
and
also
just
want
to
clarify.
I
know
there's
been
some
questions
as
to
how
all
of
these
items
related,
and
why
did
we
put
them
all
together?
G
We
did
that
for
two
reasons.
One
is
we
wanted
to
bring
the
issues
before
the
council
and
also,
as
tony
indicated,
there
is
a
cost
for
individual
ballot
measures,
and
so
we
wanted
to
combine
ballot
measures.
Clearly,
if
you
wanted
to
take
one
of
these
other
issues
and
put
it
on
a
different
ballot
measure,
you
could,
but
this
was
primarily
to
give
the
council
the
opportunity
to
discuss
these
potential
ballot
measures
and
determine
if
you
wanted
to
move
forward.
A
You
I'll
note
just
for
the
record
council
member
foley's
kind
enough
to
join
us
despite
having
just
endured
a
very
significant
knee
surgery
and
so
she's
going
to
be
turning
her
camera
off
from
time
to
time.
I
know
to
elevate
that,
but
she
will
be
with
us,
and
I
appreciate
that
she
does
keep
her
camera
on
throughout
the
meetings,
because
I
think
that's
important
for
the
public
to
know
that
we
are
hearing
them.
A
Obviously
we
do
turn
them
off
when
we
need
to
run
a
restroom
or
whatever
it
might
be,
but
I
do
encourage
folks
to
keep
their
cameras
on,
and
so
the
public
knows
that
we
are
hearing
them.
Let's
go
to
the
phone.
I
I
To
be
on
camera
during
the
whole
session,
but
I'm
just
not
going
to
be
able
to
so
I
will
be
on
and
off,
but
I
am
sitting
here
listening.
D
As
much
as
I
possibly
can,
but
I
I
thank
you
for
that.
A
Thank
you
councilmember,
and
I
hope
you
feel
better
soon,
a
rapid
recovery.
So
let's
go
to
the
public.
Now,
mr
condo,
everyone
has
two
minutes
to
speak
now.
I
asked
if
you
could
unmute
your
device,
as
I
call
your
name
and
then
you'll
be
able
to
speak
easily.
J
Mayor
licardo
and
members
of
the
san
jose
city
council,
I'm
richard
konda,
executive
director
of
the
asian
law
alliance.
I
fully
support
council
member
arenas's
memo.
The
council
must
not
move
forward
with
the
proposed
ballot
measure
unless
and
until
there
are
changes
that
ensure
community
involvement.
J
The
community
must
be
able
to
participate
in
the
shaping
of
the
goals
and
objectives
of
the
charter
revision,
commission
charter
amendments
involving
census
delays,
the
planning,
commission
composition
and
the
independent
police
auditor
should
be
separate
from
the
proposal
to
move
the
mayoral
election
to
the
presidential
election
cycle.
We
need
a
fair
and
open
process.
Thank
you
very
much.
A
Thank
you,
mr.
D
D
Good
morning,
mayor
ricardo,
I'm
I'm
actually
disgusted
with
the
fact
that
even
a
proposal
would
be
considered
to
circumvent
the
democratic
process
at
a
time
when
we
have
the
most
coveted
debts
on
the
east
side
of
the
city.
That
you
are.
The
mayor
of
this
is
your
responsibility,
mayor
le
cardo,
to
ensure
that
your
people,
your
people,
you
wanted
to
represent
the
city
of
san
jose,
will
start
representing,
and
that's
just
not
your
buddies
that
are
coming
in
gary
gillabo,
jay,
paul
and
and
eric
hayden
coming
in
and
exploiting
my
city.
D
You
are
exploiting
my
city
by
using
by
using
opportunity
zones.
Opportunity
zones
give
these
people
that
have
the
capital
to
exploit
the
poverty
that
has
been
generationally
created
in
this
city
at
the
expense
of
the
mexicanos
in
the
campesinos
in
salsa,
puedes
and
you've
got
the
audacity
to
use
your
legal
language
in
your
legalese
to
try
to
slip
in
under
the
radar
and
to
circumvent
the
democratic
process,
which
is
a
violation
to
me.
As
a
citizen.
D
As
a
citizen
of
this
country,
you
attempted
to
do
that,
and
just
in
your
attempt
that
right
there
disgusts
me.
Okay
and
I'm
counting
on
esparza
arenas,
madeleine
carrasco
and
jimenez,
we
are
counting
on
you
to
do
whatever
it
is
within
your
power
to
challenge
this
and
to
ensure
that
we
as
a
people
are
protected,
and
I
will
expect
nothing
less
than
you
and
I
will
demand
all
of
it
from
you.
Thank
you.
D
Good
morning
all
I
support.
I
do
sorry,
council
arenas
memo,
and
I
want
to
clarify
a
few
things
on
different
polls.
There
was
an
official
poll
sanctioned.
I
think
it
was
fmc.
It
said
that
people
do
not
want
strong
mayor.
I've
seen
numerous
polls,
including
one
on
reddit.
There
are
278
votes
and
198
do
not
want
strong
mayor.
I
think
it's
pretty
clear
that
what
our
mayor
is
doing
is
leveraging
his
position
in
san
jose
to
ultimately
find
his
next
role.
Maybe
it's
dianne
feinstein's
position.
D
Maybe
it's
something
else,
but
a
clear
sign
of
this
was
him
endorsing
bloomberg.
Nobody
would
endorse
bloomberg,
knowing
he's
going
to
lose,
except
for
political
favor,
so
I
think
it's
important
for
us
as
a
city
and
for
you
city
council
to
put
the
community
first,
let's
not
simply
help
a
mayor,
that's
trying
to
catapult
himself
into
politics,
let's
actually
think
of
what
the
people
want
and
the
people
are
very
clearly
saying
they
do
not
want
strong
mayor
on
the
topic
of
redlining
and
redistricting.
D
D
A
You,
mr
beekman,
welcome.
J
All
right,
thank
you.
I
would
like
to
thank
yourselves
for
all
the
work
and
efforts
that
everyone
went
through
to
where
we
are
at
this
time.
Thanks.
We
have
a
real
chance
to
now
study
the
ideas
of
equity
and
really
concentrate
on
that
at
this
time,
and
it's
it's
just
incredible
to
me
that
we
can
so
thank
you
and
with
that
good
focus,
you
know
that.
Can
you
know
to
set
up
the
the
community
charter
process
is
great
of
you,
the
words
of
the
first
speaker,
richard
conda.
J
You
know
I
totally.
I
thought
his
words
were
great
on
the
subject.
That's
exactly
what
we
need
to
be
doing
with
it.
So
good
luck
in
those
efforts.
I
I
my.
I
have
a
major
concern
about
the
strong
mayor
in
that
I
worry
of
the
mayor,
creating
direct
power
with
redevelopment
agencies
in
the
words
of
sergio
jimenez
and
his
questions
at
the
july
1st
council
meeting
to
council
person
jones.
J
You
know
that's
a
real
issue
for
me
that
I'm
I'm
to
have
for
the
mayor,
strong
mayor
to
have
that
direct
channel
to
simply
create
you
know
future.
You
know
business
stuff
is
not
it's
worrisome
to
me.
I
think
the
low-hanging
fruit
stuff
is
awesome.
I
think
we
can
all
work
to
agree
on
that
and
that's
part
of
the
future
of
our
unity,
our
community
unity,
but
it's
it's
the
it's
it's
the
business
dealings
that
I
don't
think.
J
I
think
the
mayor
has
done
a
very
good
job
in
organizing
the
planning
department
as
it
is.
How
can
we
bring
that
forward
in
the
future?
That's
my
goal:
how
can
how
can
we
continue
that
tradition
without
forcing
these
strong
mayor
things
so
much
that
that
promote
these
business
practices?
That
may
be
really
insulting,
and
so
thank
you
for
all
your
efforts
and
it'll
be
a
good
process
in
the
coming
months.
Thank
you.
Thank
you,
mr.

J
Honorable
mayor
and
city
council
members,
as
a
union
representative
of
over
800
engineers,
architects
and
managers
providing
services
the
city
of
san
jose,
I
want
to
thank
you
for
your
time
this
morning.
One
of
the
most
fundamental
elements
of
american
democracy,
as
noted
by
alexis
de
tocqueville,
is
our
community
associations
and
institutions.
Fostering
civic
engagement
and
participation
is
what
keeps
our
democracy
strong
when
they
are
strong
and
our
democracy
weak
when
they
are
weakened.
J
The
proposal
to
rush
changes,
the
city
charger
and
add
additional
power
to
the
mayor
without
engaging
these
community
associations
a
little
over
a
month
ago
was
the
wrong
tactic
to
take,
and
we
are
happy
to
see
both
the
mayor
and
vice
mayor
change
course
on
this
topic
with
their
recent
memos.
This
issue
should
have
always
been
about
strengthening
citizen
participation
and
we
are
glad
to
see
the
fair
elections.
Elements
of
the
ballot
measure
remain
and
support.
The
proposed
blue
ribbon
committee
to
engage
the
community
further
in
potential
charter
changes
noted
in
council
member
arenas's
memo.
J
C
Hello,
can
you
hear
me?
Yes,
we
can.
Thank
you.
I'm
grateful
that
this
process
is
being
slowed
down.
I'd
like
to
voice
my
support
for
council
member
adena's
memo,
and
I
think
it's
important
that
the
public's
voice
is
truly
incorporated
when
this
comes
back
in
2020,
I'd
like
to
highlight
something
that
I
found
troubling
in
the
mayor's
memo
and
the
section
bolded
uniting
in
crisis.
The
first
sentence
reads:
in
recent
weeks:
several
organizations
have
urged
that
we
slow
the
process
of
charter
reforms
designed
to
lead
to
a
more
effective,
accountable
and
representative
government.
C
Their
first
sentence
reads,
as
if
organizations
were
the
only
ones
that
voiced
their
opposition
and
ignores
the
hundreds
of
community
members
not
affiliated
with
any
organizations
that
wrote
or
called
in
it,
affirms
that
our
voices
have
little
to
no
impact
in
the
process
and
that
we're
being
ignored
by
our
representatives.
Does
our
mayor
lead
for
organizations,
as
he
stated,
for
example,
developers
and
unions,
or
does
he
represent
the
people?
Thank
you.
C
Good
morning,
mayor
le
cardo
and
city
council
members,
my
name
is
stephanie
morris
and
I'm
a
volunteer
leader
with
mothers
out
front
silicon
valley,
formerly
south
bay.
Although
our
primary
area
of
focus
is
climate
justice,
we
recognize
that
we
will
not
be
able
to
advocate
effectively
for
this
cause,
nor
any
of
the
other
vital
issues
we
face.
If
our
government
is
not
fully
representational,
transparent,
equitable
and
inclusive,
we
share
each
of
the
concerns
that
the
league
of
women
voters
has
expressed
about
the
process
that
rushed
forward
a
strong
mayor
proposal.
C
We
applaud
mayor
licardo
for
listening
to
the
community
and
proposing
to
delay
the
strong
mayor
proposal.
It's
vital
that
this
process
include
robust
community
input,
especially
from
underrepresented
portions
of
our
community,
and
a
thorough
consideration
of
the
complex
pros
and
cons
of
various
city
governance
structures.
C
A
Thank
you,
miss
watts.
D
Thank
you,
mayor
lucardo,
and
all
the
council
members
who
are
moving
this
city
governance
and
campaign
finance
items
from
the
ballot
coming
up
in
in
november.
We
strongly
support
this
action.
Thank
you
so
much
as
it
authorizes
an
independent
body
of
citizens
to
first
evaluate
alternatives
and
to
assess
intended
and
unintended
consequences
of
such
changes
to
the
power
structure
and
possible
conflicts
of
interest
with
input
from
all
people
involved,
including
the
residents
of
san
jose,
as
as
the
league
of
as
we,
the
league
of
women
voters
have
stated
before.
D
We
do
not,
however,
want
to
restrict
the
charter
review
commission
to
only
look
at
a
mayor
council
form
of
government.
While
this,
indeed
may
be
the
outcome
of
an
unrestricted
invest,
investigation
and
one
our
organization
may
support.
We
strongly
feel
that
the
commission
should
not
be
instructed
which
form
of
governance
is
desired.
The
independent
commission
should
be
free
to
evaluate
how
the
balance
of
power
works
in
the
administration
of
our
city
government
today,
and
what
changes
to
that
balance
would
make
our
government
more
effective
and
efficient
for
the
benefit
of
all
residents.
D
Thanks
to
all
of
you
for
your
public
service
to
all
san
jose
residents,
it
cannot
be
easy
to
address
the
many
issues
facing
us
today
and
we
encourage
and
implode
your
cooperative
efforts
to
work
together
to
address
the
serious
concerns
people
have
about
the
health,
safety
and
future
of
their
families.
Thank
you
very
much.
D
Welcome
good
morning,
mayor
and
city
council,
I
just
want
to
thank
you
mayor
for
listening
to
your
community,
knowing
that
the
majority
of
us
don't
support
the
strong
mayor,
I
want
to
ask
you
to
remove
it
completely,
and
I
know
that
removing
it
right
now
is
not
a
permanent
decision,
and
I
want
to
encourage
you
to
please
adopt
sylviarena's
proposal,
which
makes
a
lot
more
sense,
and
I
also
want
to
speak
about
chief
garcia
and
I
think,
you've
heard
about
the
case
for
guadalupe.
D
She
was
dragged
she
was
hit
and
this
all
happened
while
being
recorded,
and
it's
not
okay,
that
these
police
officers
are
being
protected.
Once
again,
we
march
we
walk
against
police
brutality,
and
you
said
that
this
would
be
fixed
and
that
there
were
going
to
be
steps.
We
don't
see
a
change,
they're
still
deliberately
doing
this
and
they
think
that
they
can
get
away
with
it
and
we
need
accountability.
D
We're
asking
you
mayor
to
step
up
and
please
ask
chief
garcia
to
fire
these
officers,
because
if
that
was
your
mom,
if
that
was
your
sister,
I'm
sure
as
hell,
you
guys
would
not
accept
this,
and
I'm
really
disappointed
right
now
to
have
watched
that
video.
It
was
disgusting
and
disturbing
to
see
a
police
officer,
kick
a
mom
in
front
of
her
kids
and
drag
her.
No
one
should
ever
be
treated
regardless
of
the
crime
like
that
here
in
san
jose,
and
I'm
not
proud
to
say
that
these
police
officers
are
from
san
jose.
D
A
Thank
you,
mr.
A
J
I
think
that's
important
to
be
clarified
and
I
think
council
members
arenas's
memo
attempts
to
do
that.
For
me
when
I
look
at
the
fact
that
the
council
manager
form
of
government
was
a
historical
reform
movement
to
get
away
from
the
cronyism,
nepotism
and
patronage
associated
with
executive
management
by
the
mayor,
I
think
it's
important
that
the
charter
review
commission
have
that
discussion
so
that
we
understand
if
we
can
move
ahead
with
an
executive
mayor
without
having
the
negative
attributes
that
historically
have
been
associated
with
the
major
american
cities
that
have
the
executive
management.
J
Okay,
there
are.
Can
you
hear
me
now?
Yes,
I
can
thank
you
good
morning,
mayor
council
members
calling
in
today
to
support
council
member
member
uranus's
memo,
because
the
council
shouldn't
move
forward
with
a
proposed
ballot
measure
unless
the
changes
are
done
in
the
way
that
involves
our
community
and
the
process.
It
improves
our
democracy.
J
The
council
should
not
take
any
other
further
actions
today
unless
they
include
a
process
that
the
community
can
participate
in
and
shape
the
goals
or
objectives
of
the
charter
revision.
Commission,
a
moving
election
for
the
mayor
to
the
presidential
year
is
not
given
an
automatic
extension
without
having
to
run
for
an
extra
two
years
compared
financial
forms
created
in
collaboration
with
this
community.
J
Considering
the
following
chart:
amendments
redistricting
census,
delays,
planning,
commission
composition
and
independent
police
audited
items
separately
from
the
proposal
to
move
the
may
election
to
the
presidential
cycle.
I
may
I'm
sure,
when
you
were
running
for
mayor,
you
would
not
have
would
not
have
wanted
to
wait.
Another
two
years
for
your
opportunity
to
leave
the
city
of
san
jose
be
fair.
J
D
Great
thank
you
everyone
good
morning
and
happy
to
be
back
in
sessions
with
all
of
you.
I
definitely
consider
as
well
that
you
should
remove
whatsoever
that
strong
mayor
and
support
sylvia
arenas,
as
we
have
noticed,
and
we
keep
noticing
that
that
transparency
that
you
have
given
us
has
not
been
transparent
right,
making
your
back
door
deal
and
right
now,
it's
really,
instead
of
fighting
for
more
power
that
you
want
to
change
things
when
you
actually
do
something
with
the
power
that
you
have
right.
D
You
took
a
knee
down
at
the
protest
a
couple
months
ago,
right
with
us,
while
we
were
protesting
police
brutality.
Yet
here
in
our
own
backyard,
we
are
having
police
brutality,
we're
having
a
woman
being
dragged
okay
out
of
her
car
and
then
again
it
doesn't
matter
what
the
what
she
did
or
what
she
didn't
do.
Nobody
should
be
done
that
you
more
than
anyone
know
that
officer
was
very
close
to
putting
his
knee
on
her
neck.
What
could
have
been
another?
I
can't
breathe,
I
can't
breathe
in
front
of
her
children.
D
I
can't
breathe
outside
her
car.
I
can't
breathe
because
that
mayor
samuel
carter
didn't
do
anything,
that's
what
we
should
be
focusing
about.
We
shouldn't
be
really
focusing
about
you
trying
to
get
more
power
and
how
you're
going
to
do
that
right
in
a
way
of
distraction.
You
should
actually
be
in
talks
with
chief
garcia
and
already
those
police
officers
shouldn't
be
even
put
on
hold
or
leave.
D
They
should
be
fire
fire,
because
the
moment
that
we
any
of
the
citizens
do
something
like
that,
we're
in
jail
and
we're
being
prosecuted
right,
but
that's
only
happens
to
people
of
color,
not
not
anybody
else,
so
we
should
be
talking
about
that
and
we
should
stop
with
this
syringe
of
you
trying
to
get
more
power.
Thank
you.
J
J
To
have
more
people
participate
in
our
elections,
especially
minorities
that
they
don't
usually
vote
when
there
is
a
major
election,
but
because
when
few
people
participate
in
elections,
then
our
democracy
is
failing.
When
more
people
participate
in
our
elections,
then
we
have
a
stronger
democracy
because
more
people
feel
represented.
J
Unfortunately,
this
proposal
comes,
it
comes
with
a
back
door
deal
you
know
with
the
secret
room
deal,
it
comes
with
something
that
was
not
discussed
with
the
city
council.
They
actually
fired
the
city
council,
member,
the
minority
ones,
the
ones
that
we're
talking
about
way
before
you
guys
approve
a
love
on
equality
and
quality
equality
bill
trying
to
give
boys
to
the
latinos
and
minority
people
and
what
you
did
the
next
week
is
you
just
cut
their
posters,
their
voices
oppress
them.
J
A
Thank
you
return
to
council
now.
Thank
you
to
the
members
of
the
community
who
came
to
speak
council
member
councilmember
carrasco.
F
Well,
thank
you
so
much
I
want
to
thank.
I
want
to
thank
all
the
speakers
for
coming
out
on
the
special
council
session,
especially
this
early
in
the
morning.
F
It's
always
great
to
hear
their
opinion
and
and
to
get
them
engaged,
and
I
think
that
that's
one
of
the
reasons
why
we're
here
after
having
had
the
the
last
marathon
on
the
last
day
of
council
session
is
because
some
of
us
really
felt
that
that
this
initiative
really
lacked
resident
and
and
our
citizens
input
as
we're
looking
to
see
how
we're
going
to
continue
to
govern
the
city
of
san
jose.
F
F
I
don't
think
that
we've
had
much
of
a
of
a
rest
over
this
july
month,
so
I
I
appreciate
the
work
that
you've
been
doing,
and
I
want
to
thank
our
our
city,
employees
and,
of
course,
our
our
leadership
in
the
city
for
for
also
working
very
hard
to
really
educate
a
lot
of
our
community
members
on
the
implications
of
this
initiative,
the
you
know
for
those
of
those
who
believed
in
the
benefits
of
it
and
those
also
who
understood
or
who
believed
in
the
or
saw
the
pitfalls
of
it.
F
Let's
just
say,
wherever
you
fell
in
the
spectrum,
I'm
really
grateful
for
all
of
the
work
and
all
of
the
hours
that
were
put
into
it.
I
know
you
know
it's
not
a
secret.
I've
been
very
public
as
to
how
I
have
felt
about
it
and
and
my
commitment
in
terms
of
if
this
continues
to
move
forward,
but
I
also
want
to
thank
you
mayor
for
a
thoughtful
memo
that
you
dropped
yesterday
and
really
for
reconsidering
your
position
at
least
for
now.
F
Maybe
not
so
much
in
terms
of
your
your
thinking
regarding
the
governance
of
our
city,
but
maybe
in
terms
of
the
process
and
how
we
attain
additional
input
from
residents
and
how
we
get
greater
research
best
practices
whatever
it
is,
that
the
commission
might
be
considering
and
how
they
gather
more
information.
F
So
I
I'm
I'm
glad
that
we're
here
at
this
point
it's
taken
us
a
little
bit
longer
and
it's
been
an
interesting
ride.
Let's
just
say
for
my
entire
family
as
well,
so
we've
had
some
interesting
conversations
around
the
table.
F
My
a
14
year
old
shouldn't
know
this
much,
but
but
it
it
has
been
an
an
eye-opener
and
I
think
that
we
need
to
go
into
this
eyes
wide
open.
F
As
we
look
at
the
different
items
that
we'll
be
voting
on
today
for
one
I
I
I
want
to
say
that
I
want
to
preface
it
by
saying
that
the
reason
why
I've
been
digging
my
heels,
making
my
arguments
appealing
to
individuals
speaking
with
different
organizations
and
and
being
so
public
about
this
is
because
I
believe
in
good
government
and
transparency,
and
so
when
I
dropped.
F
When
I
co-authored
the
memo
on
fair
elections
almost
two
years
ago
and
went
before
the
rules
committee,
you
had
the
forethought
and
the
the
decision
making
to
send
my
memo
to
the
san
jose
board
of
fair
campaign
and
political
practices,
which
was
the
right
thing
to
do.
I
may
not
have
agreed
with
it
at
that
time,
because
I
was
trying
to
really
understand
what
the
process
was,
but
it
was
the
right
thing
to
do
before
it
came
to
the
full
council,
which
is
where
we
debated
it,
and
unfortunately
it
lost
six
to
five.
F
So,
as
you
can
imagine,
considering
such
a
dramatic
change
in
the
way
that
we
govern
the
city,
why
it
wouldn't
have
gone
through
the
same
process,
why
it
would
not
have
been
moved
to
the
to
the
same
board
of
campaign
and
political
practices
seemed
to
have
been
a
a
step.
That
was
skipped
and-
and
I'm
glad
that
now
we
are
stepping
back
pulling
back
and
now
slowing
things
down.
F
If
indeed
this
passes
today,
and
I
hope
that
my
colleagues
will
will
reconsider
their
vote
and
actually
do
that
today.
F
But
in
in
that
same
light,
I
want
to
add
that
there
is
also
the
idea
of
the
contribution
finance
reform,
which,
which
is
an
interesting
item
to
me,
because
I
think
everybody
would
agree
that
we
want
to
make
sure
that
those
who
are
elected
to
office
and
those
who
make
decisions
do
so
with
integrity
and
with
a
moral
compass.
F
And
so
we
never
want
our
elected
officials
to
have
a
in
their
dna,
any
slight
semblance
of
corruption
or
that
they
seem
to
have
been
bought
off
by
a
developer
or
anybody
else,
and
that,
of
course,
we
always
have
the
impression
that
money,
talks
and
and
that
you
know,
and
we've
seen
the
the
most
corrupt
practices
take
place.
When
money
is
on
the
table.
We
get
that,
and
so
I
understand
the
premise
and
I
understand
the
spirit
in
which
contribution
financing
comes
to
the
table.
F
I
want
to
say
the
following,
though:
what
we
have
on
the
table
now
opens
the
doors
for
an
infinite
amount
of
fundraising,
to
take
place
for
independent
expenditures,
and-
and
we
know
this
because
those
of
us
who
have
been
already
in
campaigns
have
seen
it
this
doesn't
impact
ies
or
independent
expenditures,
those
who
have
access
to
wealthy
networks
which,
by
the
way,
I
don't,
I
don't
know,
really
any
east
siders
who
are
interested
in
running
for
office,
whether
it's
for
assembly
state
council
school
boards,
we
don't
have
access,
I
don't
come
from
a
wealthy
family.
F
I
come
from
a
family
who
worked
in
the
del
monte
canneries,
who
were
teamsters
all
their
lives,
who
you
know
we
I
I
went
on
the
picket
lines
with
them
to
just
earn
a
couple
of
extra
pennies
on
the
dollar
so
that
they
we
could
have
a
better
living.
But
my
mother
didn't
make
over
nine
dollars
an
hour
before
she
died,
and
so
we
we're
blue-collar
workers
who
don't
have
a
wealthy
network.
F
But
I'll
tell
you
that
if
I
crossover
101,
I
can
give
you
right
off
the
top
of
my
head,
an
immediate
list
of
individuals
who
could
run
like
that
for
any
office
that
they
want
and
who
could
fund
their
races
based
on
one
fundraiser
because
of
the
wealthy
networks
that
they
have
and
who
could
immediately
garner
the
support
through
independent
expenditures.
F
And
I
know
that
based
on
and
I'm
sure
that
the
lawyers
who
sit
on
this
council
would
appreciate
the
supreme
court
case
on
what
is
it.
The
the
the
citizens
united
versus
federal
elections,
commission
558,
u.s
310
from
2010
case.
It
was
a
landmark
decision
of
the
supreme
court
of
the
united
states
concerning
campaign
finance.
F
So,
whereas
my
hands
are
now
tied
from
getting
contributions
that
I
control
for
my
campaign,
so
that
I
can
represent
the
east
side
of
san
jose,
so
that
my
esparza
can
represent
the
east
side
of
san
jose.
So
that
someone
like
sylvia
arenas
who,
by
the
way
there
has
never
been
another
latina
that
represented
evergreen
and
who
had
the
kind
of
interest
in
the
flatlands
of
evergreen,
who
don't
consider
themselves
by
the
way
part
of
evergreen.
They
consider
themselves
part
of
overfelt
and
metal,
meadowfair
and
welch
park.
F
Who
finally
have
someone
who
really
is
concerned
about
the
gang
activity
and
child
care
and
the
educational
gap,
and
not
just
the
hills
of
evergreen.
Although
she
represents
that
very
well.
But
someone
who
doesn't
have
also
a
wealthy
network
that
we
could
finally
run.
But
now
we're
our
hands
are
going
to
be
tight.
F
So
I
I
get
the
spirit
of
finance
reform
and
I
know
that
it
pulls
very
well
and
that
this
was
probably
the
sugar
or,
as
sylvia
arena
said,
the
zucchini
that
was
hidden
in
the
spaghetti
or
I
don't
know
what
she
hid
it
in.
But
but
that
was
needed
to
get
that
bitter
pill
to
get
swallowed.
F
But
it
ties
my
hands
to
get
get
elected
for
other
things,
unless
I
can
find
a
wealthy
godfather
to
fund
an
ie
so
that
I
can
go
ahead
and
run
for
something
else.
And
so,
unlike
you
know,
some
of
you
all
or
other
people
west
of
101.
F
It
makes
it
very
difficult
for
other
eastsiders
to
do
so.
So
I'm
just
letting
you
know
that
again,
poor
people,
people
of
color
people
who
are
not
connected
people
who
are
not
connected
to
wealthy
bellarmine
legacy.
Families
get
screwed.
F
So
I'm
gonna
leave
that
there
and-
and
I
guess
maybe
we'll
go
ahead
and
send
it
off
to
the
board
or
a
commission
to
review
that
and
see
what
they
think
about
that,
because
I
I
didn't
know
that
we
had
a
broken
system.
F
F
I
have
a
couple
of
issues
with
you
know
vice
mayor
jones.
Thank
you
so
much
for
your
memo.
I
really
appreciate
you
going
into
that
kind
of
detail
in
terms
of
the
kind
of
composition
and
the
the
establishment
of
the
task
force.
I
do
have
an
issue
when
one
office
has
more
appointments
on
the
commission
versus
the
rest
of
the
offices,
because
then
I
think
that
that
skews
the
power
of
one
office
versus
the
other
it
because
again,
what
we're
talking
about
here
is
equity.
F
What
we've
been
arguing
about
is
equity,
where
we've
been
concerned
about
is
how
we
govern
our
offices
and
how
we
make
sure
that
we
have
re
representation
throughout
the
city
in
every
aspect,
whether
it's
the
planning
commission,
whether
it
is
there
at
the
dias
and
now
making
such
an
important
decision
as
to
whether
or
not
we
even
go
to
the
ballot
with
expanded
powers,
because
we
may
not
even
go-
and
I
just
want
to
be
able
to
also
preface
that
we
may
not
even
go
to
the
ballot
with
any
options
the
the
task
force
may
decide.
F
This
isn't
the
choice
for
the
city
of
san
jose,
and
I
hope
that
that's
also
one
of
the
options
that
they
come
back
and
go.
You
know
this
based
on
our
research
and
based
on
best
practices.
You
know
this
is
what
we
have
found,
and
so
that
will
be
up
to
us
and
and
finally,
what
I
want
to
say
is
you
know
we
all
have
expiration
dates.
These
seats
don't
belong
to
us
they're
borrowed
the
good.
F
My
north
star
are
always
my
children
and
I
have
to
be
able
to
come
home
and
be
able
to
look
at
them
in
the
face
and
be
able
to
know
that
I've
done
the
best
to
my
abilities
and
and
sleep
with
a
clean
conscience,
and
I
know
that
all
of
you
do
the
same.
But
but
I
say
that
because
I
need
to
be
able
to
leave
something
that
belongs
to
the
city
of
san
jose,
not
to
magdalena
carrasco.
F
So
this
is
why
it
was
imperative
for
me
to
make
sure
that
individuals
understood
what
this
deal
meant.
It
was
a
deal
that
I
had
not
been
a
part
of.
It
was
a
deal
that
that
the
primary
unions
of
the
city
of
san
jose
had
not
been
a
part
of,
and
employees
were
going
to
be
impacted
very
very
directly.
F
And
of
course
I
I
get
it.
Individuals
fall
on
both
sides
of
this
argument,
but
pulling
back
slowing
it
down
and
allowing
individuals
to
understand
the
pros
and
the
cons,
I
think,
is
essential
in
making
the
right
decisions
and
allowing
the
voters
to
finally
understand
the
arguments
of
of
of
the
initiative.
F
So
with
that,
I'm
going
to
make
a
motion
to
move
the
mayor's
the
mayor's
memo.
F
I'm
not
completely,
I'm
not
completely
comfortable
with
the
with
the
language
mayor
because
it
it
it
does
lay
a
foundation
and
if
I
in
in
sylvia
renasce's
memo
alludes
to
that,
I'm
going
to
allow
I'm
just
going
to
I'm
going
to
move
the
motion
the
memo
so
that
we
can
move
forward
with
some
conversation
and
dialogue
by
moving
the
mayor's
memo,
along
with
vice
mayor
chappie
jones
memo
as
well
and
council.
A
Second
yeah,
the
second
council
member
esparza,
just
to
confirm
councilman
mccrosker,
you
moved
you're
in
council,
member
esparza's,
memos
items
two
and
three
councilman
rance's
memo
items,
one
three
and
four
and
all
of
the
memos.
All
the
recommendations
from
vice
mayor
jones
in
my
memos
is
that
right.
A
Okay,
thank
you
all
right,
councilman.
I
Thank
you.
I
I
wasn't
sure
I
was
gonna
be
next,
so
it's
a
bit
of
a
surprise.
I
want
to
thank
all
of
the
residents
who've
called
in
early
this
morning
at
nine
o'clock.
I
I
know
that
sometimes
our
days
have
been
blending
in
our
work
days
and
our
family
lives,
because
some
of
us
work
at
home
are
not
distinguishable
anymore,
and
so
getting
up
this
early
in
the
morning
for
for
some
is
difficult,
and
so
I'm
glad
that
you
heeded
to
the
call
and
you've
made
your
your
voices
heard,
and
I
think
it
was
very
apparent
from
the
last
meeting
and
between
the
last
meeting
and
today,
we've
heard
very
clearly
and
very
loudly
that
our
residents
want
to
participate,
and
you
know
they've
written
letters
they've
made
these
calls
this
morning.
I
They
made
calls
last
month
and-
and
I'm
really
proud
of
our
san
jose
residents
for
for
wanting
to
participate
and
to
be
this
civically
involved
and
as
you
can
see
that
that
this
pandemic
has
created
a
lot
of
changes
within
our
lives
from
working
at
home
to
to
also
having
a
civil
unrest,
because
there's
there's
a
lot
of
inequities
that
this
pandemic
has
has
sharply
raised,
and
that's
due
to
some
of
the
systemic
racial
inequities
that
are
part
of
our
city
government.
I
That
are
part
of
a
lot
of
other
organizations
and
that
need
to
have
some
changes.
And
so,
when
you
heard
today,
people
call
in
and
talk
about
their
either
their
opposition
or
their
support
for
any
one
of
our
memos.
You
also
heard
them
talk
about
some
of
the
reforms
and
for
our
police
department,
and
I
don't
want
to
ignore
that,
because
there
really
is
two
pandemics
that
are
happening
right
now,
one
that
is
with
coven
19
and
the
other.
I
One
really
is
with
our
systemic
racism,
and
I
think
it's
it's
part
of
our
part
of
our
job,
to
answer
that
and
to
acknowledge
that
and
to
make
sure
that
we
let
our
residents
know
that
there's
a
path
forward,
that
their
voices
are
being
heard
and
that
there's
a
path
forward
for
for
them
to
participate
in
and
that
piece
of
it
in
terms
of
having
our
residents
so
involved
to
me
is
is
I
think
this
is
once
in
a
lifetime
type
of
experience.
I
The
way
that
our
san
jose
residents
are
rising
and
organizing
and
voicing
their
concerns
and
being
part
of
the
solution
to
me
is
so
gratifying
as
well
as
I
think
it
creates
really
a
change
for
our
residents
to
participate
and
to
shape
and
shift
what
our
city
government
is
going
to
look
like
and
for
me,
that's
the
most
important
thing,
because
it's
part
of
system
improvements
and
part
of
me.
Well,
I
never
intended
to
be
a
politician
for
sure
when
I
was
going
through
my
masters.
I
I
really
fell
in
love
with
policy,
and
I
thought
about
how
our
families
I've
been
working
with
families
all
my
life
and
in
my
professional
career
and
one
family
at
a
time,
and
that
just
doesn't
seem
to
be
enough
anymore,
because
we
need
to
change
the
rules
for
our
families.
I
We
need
to
change
the
rules
for
our
communities,
and
this
is
the
time
I
never
thought
that
I
was
going
to
live
through
my
service
here
as
a
council
member
with
the
real
opportunity
to
have
these
kinds
of
system
improvements
where
we're
going
to
change
the
rules
for
generations
to
come,
because,
as
you
can
see
what
we
what
is
rendered
now,
what
we
see
now
is
an
accumulation
of
a
lack
of
system,
improvements
for
many
generations
or
inadvertent
rules,
inadvertent
kind
of
changes
or
systemic
structural
racism
that
has
been
created
because
of
past
policies,
and
some
of
them
have
been
very
specific.
I
Like
redlining
and
those
those
types
of
fault
policies
haven't
really
changed
in
our
communities.
We
love
to
live
with
one
another.
When
we
look
and
talk
like
one
another,
but
it's
like,
I
think
our
council
member
carrasco
has
said
it
before.
Did
we
all
you
know
all
latinos
decided
to
move
to
the
east
side
for
one
particular
reason:
was
it
because
of
the
great
food?
That's
out
there?
I
No,
it's
because
it
was
redlining
and
it
was
because
we
could
only
purchase
properties
in
certain
parts
of
san
jose,
and
so
we
ended
up
all
living
together,
which
is
a
wonderful
thing,
but
at
the
same
time
it's
it's
really
time
to
change
and
some
of
those
policies
are
catching
up
to
us
and
our
residents
are
telling
us
hey.
We
recognize
these
that
there's
there's
some
systemic
and
structural
racism
integrated
into
our
bureaucracies
and
that
we
need
to
change,
and
so
for
me
this
is.
I
This
is
an
opportunity
for
us
to
do
better
by
our
residents
an
opportunity
to
also
hear
from
our
residents,
because
that's
really,
I
think
this
is
really
where
change
happens,
is
when
there's
students
out
in
the
streets
and
we've
seen
it
over
time
and
through
some
of
the
wars.
I
I
did
not
protest
or
anything
dirt
in
the
streets
during
that
time,
but
but
I
know
that
that
created
a
lot
of
changes
for
for
us
an
opportunity
for
us
to
stand
up
against
our
government
and
say
no,
we
didn't
want
to
be
part
of
a
of
a
war
and
and
it
it's
a
lot
of
the
times,
it's
our
youth.
It's
our
students
that
really
brave
themselves
and
risk
themselves
in
protest
and
ask
for
the
most
changes
that
they
we
can.
I
We
can
provide
them
with,
and
so
I
wanted
to
acknowledge
that
that,
in
some
of
the
calls
that
I
heard
this
morning,
we're
not
only
just
talking
about
some
of
what
is
being
discussed
today
as
part
of
the
strong
mayor
discussion
or
the
campaign
reform
or
or
changing
the
the
mayor's
race
to
a
presidential
year.
But
we're
also
talking
about
we're
also
talking
about
this
other
pandemic
that
is
systemic
racism
and
that
we
have
to
really.
I
We
have
to
rise
as
elected
officials
and
accept
that
this
is
part
of
the
conversation
that
our
residents
are
telling
us
that
we
need
to
be
that
we
need
to
participate
in
and
lead
with
race
and
making
sure
that
we
have
some
some
equity,
definitely
equity,
built
into
the
city
of
san
jose,
and
so
with
that
I
wanted
to
ask
for
some
some
amendments,
but
let
me
let
me
just
take
a
step
back.
I
I
think
you
all
know
how
I
felt
about
all
of
these
elements
in
the
proposal
last
month.
I'm
definitely
against
giving
one
office
too
much
power,
because
there
isn't
a
checks
and
balances
there.
I
And
I
I
also
asked
the
question
about
what
is
the
problem
that
we're
trying
to
solve,
for,
I
always
think
it's
important
for
us
to
identify.
What
is
the
problem
that
we're
trying
to
solve
for
is,
and
is
there
a
problem
that
we're
trying
to
solve
for,
and
so
I'm
really
grateful
that
councilmember
carrasco
has
included
some
of
my
a
portion
of
my
memo
here
and
I
wanted
to
ask
councilmember
carrasco.
Would
you
be
willing
to
make
an
amendment
because
I
heard
from
our
residents
that
they
wanted
to
keep.
I
And
they
didn't
say,
a
blue
ribbon,
commission
or
blue
ribbon
task
force,
and
so
I
I
I
think,
every
item
that
we're
discussing
needs
to
pass
and
move
to
a
path
forward,
and
I
need
we
need
to
have
a
process
and
so
part
of
our
campaign
reform.
That
needs
to
go
to
the
san
jose
board
of
for
a
fair
campaign
of
political
practices,
and
we
need
to
ask
them.
I
Is
there
a
problem
that,
with
some
of
the
contributions
that
we're
receiving
and
if
we
limit
lobbyists
or
if
we
limit
a
certain
type
of
contributions,
would
that
also
inadvertently
create
less
of
opportunities
for
some
of
candidates?
Just
like
myself,
who
really
didn't
have
a
base,
if
you
will?
I
But
a
lot
of
folks
who,
who
are
part
of
the
political
system
here,
are
willing
to
give
to
a
candidate
like
myself
to
make
it
possible
for
me
to
be
able
to
have
a
a
fair
campaign,
a
a
campaign
that
is
able
to
to
win,
and
so
council
member
carrasco?
I
don't
see
your
your
face
popping
up,
and
so
I'm
not
sure
if
I
should
ask
you
a
question
just
yet.
I
I
all
right,
so
I
wanted
to
ask
you:
is
there
a
particular
reason
that
you
left
out
well
what
I
wanted
to
ask
you
there's
a
lot
of
questions
I
want
to
ask
you
one
is:
is
there
a
particular
reason
why
you
want
the
blue
ribbon
charter
blue,
ribbon
task
force
versus
our
charter
review
commission,
because
I'm
thinking-
and
maybe
the
lawyers
can't
answer
this
question
for
me,
I
don't
know-
maybe
mark,
can
answer
the
question
for
me
or
ed.
I
If
we're
looking
just
at
charter
changes,
do
we
need
a
charter
review
commission
and
if
and
if
we're,
only
taking
a
look
at
the
form
of
government
and
having
that
body
review
our
current
form
of
government
and
then
consider
any
other
forms
of
governments
to
address
the
issues
that
plague
us
now,
which
I'm
not
sure
which
ones
those
are,
but
that's
for
that
commission
to
review
and
then
to
decide
and
consider
any
form
of
government.
G
That's
remember,
I
believe
it's
basically
just
the
terminology
used.
I
believe
the
council
could
create
a
body
they
will
do
either
will
do
whatever
the
council
wants
the
body
to
do
with
regard
to
the
charter,
I
think
the
the
custom
has
been
to
call
it
a
charter
commission,
but
it
can
be
a
blue
ribbon
commission.
It
could
be
whatever
you
call
it.
So
it's
basically
the
terminology
is
just
different,
but
the
scope
can
be
whatever
the
commit.
Whatever
the
council
wants
that
body
to
do.
I
G
I
Okay,
wonderful,
so
I'm
hoping
that
I
could
change
my
one
thing
that
I
heard
really
loud
and
clear.
Is
that
a
fork
our
folks
really
want
to
to
have
a
broader
or
greater
ability
to
take
a
look
at
the
different
forms
of
government
and
consider
those
in
in
revealing
our
current
form
of
government?
I
So
I
don't
want
to
limit
it,
and
I
I
realize
this
is
already
part
of
my
memo,
but
but
I
heard
in
in
some
of
the
comments
that
in
adapt
adopting
vice
mayor
jones,
composition
and
scope
of
work
for
for
the
blue
ribbon
charter.
Commission
we're
also
limiting
that
view
to
to
to
only
take
a
look
at.
Let
me
let
me
read
that
out
loud,
so
I
can
share
with
you.
I
Consideration
of
provision
consistent
with
mayor
council
government
structure
found
in
other
cities
in
which
mayor
has
executive
legislative
authority
evaluation
of
transition
of
election
cycle
from
odd
number
consideration
of
additional
measures.
So
I
want
to
just
revise
that
to
2a,
so
can
I
think,
maybe
a
review
of
current
mayor
council
form
of
government
and
consider
all
forms
of
government
to
make
a
a
decision
on
how
to
best
improve
our
current
system.
So
in
other
words,
I
just
don't
want
to
limit
the
mayor.
I
don't
want
to
limit
this.
E
Also,
council,
member
arenas-
thank
you
for
that
input.
But
if
you
try
to
capture
your
sentiment
in
2c
of
my
memo,.
I
Okay,
consideration
of
additional
measures
and
potential
charter
amendments
as
needed.
That
is
really
open
to
me.
Vice
mayor.
That
could
mean
any
type
of
charter
amendment
and
not
specific
to
the
form
of
government
that
we're
held
to
so
that
actually
to
me,
is
really
open.
It's
vastly
open.
I
And
I,
and
what
I
want
to
do
is
is
it
it
considers
additional
measures
and
potential
charter
amendments
as
needed,
and
so
it's
not
really
specific
to
the
form
of
government
it.
It
actually
just
allows
that
body
to
consider
any
potential
charter
amendments,
and
I
I
understand
that
that
will
allow
that
commission
to
do
that.
I
I
I
They
could
look
at
commission
charter
amendments.
They
could
take
a
look
at
almost
anything
potentially
okay.
Well,
that
makes
me
nervous,
because
I
thought
there
would
be
a
specific
scope
to
this
and
and
some
limitations
councilmember
carrasco-
are
you.
E
One
of
the
things
I
guess
where
you
can
define
limitations
as
far
as
this
approve
improves
accountability,
representation
and
inclusion.
So
some
of
the
examples
that
you
that
you
made
could
be
considered
somewhat
outside
of
that
parameter.
E
So
there
there
are
some
guardrails,
it's
just
not
prescriptive
that
they
don't
have
the
ability
to
look
at
other
charter
changes.
F
If
I
may,
it
sounds
like
what
you're
saying
is
that
2a
is,
is
prescribing
an
analysis
of
strong
mayor,
which
is
what
you're
hoping
is
not
the
case,
and
you
want
to
make
sure
that
that
2a
is
not
a
prescription
of
strong
mayor,
but
rather
an
analysis
of
the
different
types
of
governing
structures
without
pre-guiding
presupposing
or
establishing
a
foundation
for
a
strong
mayorship.
E
Yes,
council,
member.
F
That's
what
I
believe
that
that's
what
what
councilman
radenas
is
trying
to
get
at,
so
it's
not
so
much
opening
it
up
to
a
million
other
opportunities,
but
rather
not
prescribing
the
direction
of
strong
mayor,
but
rather
looking
at
the
different
governing
structures.
Yes,.
E
F
I
You
councilmember
that's
exactly
what
I
was
asking
for.
I
Okay,
so
if
it's
consideration
of
provisions,
maybe
it's
review
of
current
council
member
governments.
I
So
maybe
it's
consideration
of
current
mayor
council
form
of
government
in
the
city
of
san
jose,
along
with
a
broader.
I
Other
forms
of
government
that
could
benefit
the
city
of
san.
C
Jose
point
of
clarification
here
I
I
just
I'm
sorry,
while
I'm
listening
here,
council
member
arenas,
I
council,
member
carrasco,
included
her
and
esparza's
memo
which
asks
for
a
much
more
general
research
and
solicit
input
from
the
community
for
strongmare
and
other
potential
charter
reforms
to
update
and
improve
our
governance
structure.
So
so
doesn't
that
encompass
kind
of
what
you're
asking
for.
C
I
Yeah
no
thank
you.
Thank
you,
councilmember
davis.
I
think
what
I'll
do
is
I'll,
make
a
substitute
motion
to
move
my
memo
and
include
those
items.
Councilmember
carrasco,
that
you
have
from
your
memo,
which
items
were
those
two
and
three
two
and
three.
I
So
the
substitute
motion
is
to
move
my
memo
one
through
five
and
include
the
mayor's
well.
In
my
memo,
it
already
includes
the
mayor's
one,
a
b
and
c,
and
it
includes
council,
member
carrasco
and
esparza's
memo
to
align
the
mayoral
election
with
presidential
and
expand
the
diversity
of
voices
heard
at
the
ballot
box.
So
that's
number
three
and
we
can
also
include
item
number
two
on
there.
B
A
I
Right
right,
the
only
item
that
wasn't
on
my
memo
was
item
two,
but
item
three
was
already
on
there.
Yeah.
H
B
G
B
Have
a
point
of
clarification
on
number
two
of
the
arenas
memo:
do
we
need
to
decide
that
today
right
so
that
that's
not
a
an
either
or
so
we
need
more
clarification
on
that
item
in
the
memo
it
is.
G
And
council,
council,
member
and
mayor
and
councilmember,
we
will
need
to
know
that
so
that
we
could
draft
the
ballot
measure
now.
Clearly,
you
could
still
consider
that
when
you
do
the
final
adoption
on
the
fourth,
but
for
us
for
the
purposes
of
drafting
the
ordinance
that
comes
out
of
today's
discussion,
it
would
be
good
to
know
the
direction.
B
I'm
sorry
point
point
of
clarification
again
on
the
motion,
because
I'm
writing
this
down.
Does
this
include
so
this
includes
vice
mayor
jones's
memo,
but
his
it
encompasses
his
entire
memo.
Is
that
correct
encompasses
his.
I
Entire
memo,
and
with
the
with
a
slight
change
on
2a
and
instead
of
having
them
instead
of
having
2a
I'll,
take
your
your
number
two
on
your
memo.
A
D
I
No
and
thank
you,
councilmember
davis.
I
think
that
was
a
really
great
suggestion
that
language
already
exists
on
councilmember,
esparza
and
kadasko's
memo,
and
so
I
think
it's
a
great
substitute.
Thank
you.
I
I
I
I
know
that
there
are
some
comments
that
were
made
during
public
comment,
saying
that
that
should
also
have
its
own
process,
although
that
that
has
been
very
grassroots
and
and
community
driven
and
has
had
a
a
process
like,
I
said,
I
think,
over
a
year
that
culminated
into
having
this
measure
possibly
placed
on
the
ballot
for
this
for
this
year,
and
so
I
feel
very
confident
in
moving
that
forward,
as
there
was
a
process
that
existed
for
it.
The
other
items
on
on
our
memo,
which
was
changing
the
form
of
current
government.
I
The
council,
mayor
government
and
the
campaign
reform
didn't
identify
an
issue,
yet
we
had
a
solution
for
it,
and
so
that's
the
reason
I
wanted
to
find
a
path
forward
for
that
for
those
and
that
that
is
it.
Thank
you.
A
Thank
you
vice.
E
Mayor
actually
mayor
in
an
effort
not
to
get
in
trouble,
I
think
councilmember
esparza
was
before
me.
I.
E
All
right,
first
of
all,
I
want
to
thank
the
city,
employees
and
city
unions,
who
have
I've,
had
numerous
conversations
with
over
the
last
couple
of
weeks,
and
if
anybody
wanted
to
get
a
lesson
in
terms
of
how
to
lobby
how
to
articulate
their
positions
check
in
with
those
folks,
because
we
had
again
several
conversations
and
in
the
course
of
those
conversations
even
when
they
felt
that
I
wasn't
moving
towards
their
position,
those
conversations
were
always
respectful,
always
civil,
always
professional,
and
I
just
wanted
to
give
our
city,
employees
and
city
unions
a
shout
out
in
terms
of
how
they
conducted
themselves
and
how
they
were
effective
in
in
terms
of
providing
me
with
new
insight
in
terms
of
their
perspective
and
how
they
viewed
this
particular
effort.
E
I
was
really
excited
magdalena.
When
you
made
your
motion,
you
captured
everything
I
want
to
accomplish
and
then
with
the
friendly
amendment,
it
does
change
some
of
the
direction
and
part
of
that
direction.
That's
changing
is,
I
do
want
to
see
a
focus
on
a
robust
evaluation
of
a
strong
near
form
of
government
or
american
form
of
government
and
that's
captured
in
the
mayor's
in
memo,
which,
I
don't
think
is
prescriptive,
and
I
don't
think
my
memo
is
prescriptive.
I
think
it's
descriptive.
E
It's
aspirational,
it's
what
we
want
to
see,
but
there's
no
guarantee
what
the
recommendation
is
going
to
be
coming
out
of
the
commission.
So
I
cannot
support
the
friendly
amendment
weakening
at
least
the
effort
to
have
robust
analysis
in
discussion
on
a
strong,
mere
form
of
government.
E
All
three
options
have
their
pros
and
cons,
and
I
really
struggled
with
trying
to
land
on
what
the
right
option
is.
If
we
go
the
the
two-year
term
effectively.
What
we're?
Having
is
someone
who
runs
for
mayor
and
then
is
going
to
have
to
turn
around
and
start
running
from
here
again
similar
to
what
happens
in
congress
if
we
go
with
a
six
year
term,
the
downside
to
that
is
that
you
wouldn't
have
a
presidential
election
to
choose
someone
until
2028..
E
E
I
think
it
would
be
a
more
a
transition
that
would
accommodate
the
needs
and
desires
of
a
lot
of
the
stakeholders
in
terms
of
what
they
want
to
see
and
what
they
want
to
happen.
E
E
I've
landed
on
extending
sam's
term
for
two
years,
so
I
would
not
be
able
to
support
the
motion
on
the
floor
with
the
friendly
amendments,
so
I
will
be
voting
against
it,
but
I
will
if
the
motion
fails.
I
will
make
a
another
motion
to
incorporate
all
of
the
elements
in
magdalena's
motion
with
the
addition
of
giving
sam
a
two-year
extension.
A
B
Thank
you
so
I'm
I
have
some
comments,
but
I
before
we
get
to
that
just
because
vice
mayor
jones
just
spoke,
I
I'm
not
clear
on
what
friendly
amendments
he
doesn't
support.
So
if
vice
mayor,
if
you
could
explain
that
a
little
bit
more
I'd
appreciate
it
so
which
which
specifically
amendments,
do
you
not
support
just
so
I
can
understand.
A
E
Yeah
so
I'm
sorry
substitute
motion,
okay,
but
to
be
specific
health
member
esparza
in
the
mayor's
memo,
2a.
E
The
substitute
motion
would
would
negate
the
mayor's
2a
in
terms
of
wine
marrow
executive
authorities,
woman's
local
businesses,
reasonable
expectations
for
responsive
and
accountable
democratic
governance
in
a
major
u.s
city,
and
it
would
also
eliminate
my
2a
as
well.
In
addition
to
the
extending
the
the
mayor's
term,
I
wanted
to
have
that
clarified.
B
So
so
it
it
you're
saying
that
the
what's
on
the
floor
conflicts
with
aligning
mayoral
executive
authority.
Well,
that's
a
strong
mayor
right.
The
purpose
of
this
blue
ribbon
task
force
would
be
to
study
the
governance
forms,
including
the
strong
mayor
form
of
governance.
E
B
Understand
what's
happening,
yeah
the
the
motion
and
then
the
one
substitute
motion.
The
discussion
that
was
had
was
to
avoid
a
prescriptive
nature.
To
say
we
expect
this
commission
to
come
out
with
a
strong
mayor
form
of
government
and
and
the
and
and
you're
saying
just
to
make
sure
I
capture
this
right
that
you
want
to
a
to
say
we
align
mayoral
authority,
that's
a
kind
of
a
vague
statement.
I
mean
in
terms
of
it's
a
fine
statement,
but
I'm
just
saying
in
terms
of
asking
people
to
study
something
it's
not
terribly
specific.
B
E
But
I
want
to
to
have
in
writing
at
least
some
some
language
in
terms
of
a
prism
that
they're
going
to
look
through
in
terms
of
their
evaluation
engagement
and
having
looking
through
that
prism
of
having
an
alignment
between
the
expectations
and
we've.
You
know,
we've
had
numerous
conversations
on
at
least
some
of
us
feel
that
there's
a
disconnect
between
expectations
and
actual
authority
so
going
into
this
process.
E
I
want
part
of
their
their
underwriting
overriding
principles
to
be
looking
through
that
prism
of
how
we
can
align
residents
expectations
with.
E
To
have
that
that
language,
that's
in
the
mirror's
memo
included
in
whatever
motion
it
passes,.
B
So
so
again,
just
to
be
clear,
so
you
want
what
passes
today
to
include
the
language
that
a
that
a
ballot
measure
will
become
will
come
to
us
in
spring
of
2022
that
will
align
executive
authority
again,
that's
the
that's
the
kind
of
big
language
that
will
align
executive
authority.
B
B
E
E
And
they
come
back
and
use
my
analogy.
If
they
come
back
and
say
we
think
it's
already
aligned,
then
it
wouldn't
make
sense
for
the
council
to
put
it
on
the
ballot
because
you're
not
you're,
not
making
any
changes.
But
I
I
want
again
to
have
this
process.
Basically,
okay
of
the
alignment
expectation
to
the
authority.
B
So
in
the
create
a
blue
ribbon,
I
saw
just
a
recap.
Item
number
two
from
my
memo
with
councilmember
carrasco
says:
create
a
blue
ribbon
task
force
to
research
and
solicit
community
input
on
strong
mayor
and
other
potential
charter
reforms
to
improve
our
and
update
our
government
structure.
B
And
then
what
I
did
was
I
just
said,
including,
and
I
tacked
on
the
literal
language
to
from
to
the
mayor's
2a,
which
so
it
would
be,
including
aligned,
mayoral,
executive
authority
with
residents
and
local
businesses,
reasonable
expectations
for
responsive
and
accountable
democratic
governance
in
a
major
u.s
city.
So
we
would
tack
on
2a
to
that
item.
Would
that
satisfy
the.
B
B
B
If
there's
a
way
to
include
that
language
from
2a
to
the
existing
motion,
or
actually
it's
the
substitute
motion
right,
because
there's
an
underlying
motion
so
isn't
that
doesn't
that
address
the
concern.
B
I
mean,
I
think
you
know
again
if
we're
gonna
address
semantics,
I'm
just
saying.
If
that's
that
item
is
is
if
you
need
that
exact
language
align
mayoral
executive
authority,
we
can.
We
can
do
that
right
now,
right,
there's,
there's
nothing
preventing
us
from
doing
that.
Right
now,.
E
Now
I
hear
what
you're
saying
I
just
want
to
again
have
clarity.
Looking
at
the.
E
The
items
that
we
had
that
you
have
in
your
in
your
memo
and
how
they
correspond
to
the
mayor's
memo
trying
to
identify,
besides
that,
one
change
that
we
just
discussed
if
there
any
other
differences
and
if
not
then
effectively
what
we're
saying
is.
B
Well,
okay,
so
I
think,
in
terms
of
what
the
motion
on
the
floor
is,
that
we
follow
the
practice
that
was
set
that
councilmember
carrasco
referenced
earlier
in
her
remarks
by
referring
some
items
to
the
fair,
our
own
board
of
fair
campaign
and
political
practices,
so
that
they
can
study
the
campaign.
Finance
reforms.
B
B
And
so
then
there
was
just
the
clarification
of
the
scope
of
work,
which
you
already
you
know
clarify.
So
that's
already
been
clarified.
So
I'm
just
kind
of
wondering
if
we
can
address
this
concern
right
now,
there's
no
need
to
move
forward
because
we
can
just
take
care
of
it,
address
your
concern
and
keep
going.
E
Okay,
so
it
sounds
like
we're
close
just
want
to
clarify
so
in
the
mirror.
B
E
Well,
we
might
not
be
I'm
just
gonna
get
clarification.
So
in
the
mayor's
memo
we
we
talked
about
2a
and
you
addressed
that
bcd
has
been
addressed
in
terms
of
moving
it
to
the
the
board
of
fair
campaign
in
political
practices.
E
And
then
three
is
moving
it
to
move
forward
to
november
2020..
So
did
I.
B
Well,
I
think
what
we're
missing
is
making
sure
yeah
in
in
the
motion.
That's
on
the
floor
and
council
member
item
in
number
four
again
referring
those
to
the
san
jose
board
of
campaign
and
political
practices
and
then
number
five.
I
believe
that
staff
said
that
they
needed
some
direction
from
us
on
number
five
today,
so
we
have
to
have
that
discussion.
H
G
A
Good
yep,
I
believe,
you're
on
your
immune,
okay,
yeah.
E
B
Yeah,
so
so
that's
the
thought
is
that
number
five
in
councilmember
in
us
is
motion
substitute
motion.
That's
I
I,
according
to
staffs,
what
they
had
asked
us
to
do
is
discuss
options
for
redistricting
timelines,
and
we
that
item
requires
some
discussion.
So
we
need
to
discuss
that
anyway.
So
I'm
trying
to
I'm
trying
to
figure
out
like
why.
Why
couldn't
with
that,
I'm
trying
to
figure
out
how
we
can
address
your
concerns
right
now
in
the
moment
and
keep
this
moving.
E
Right,
well,
you
addressed
part
of
my
concerns
by
including
that
language
from
the
mayor's
memo
bringing
back
2a
in
my
memo
would
address
my
concern
and
then
I.
B
Guess,
I'm
sorry,
could
you
repeat
that
2a
on
the
mayor's
memo
adding
that
language,
and
then
you
mentioned
your
memo
just
now,
I
didn't
catch
that.
B
Okay,
so
then,
because
councilmember
davis
suggested
that
just
since,
what's
included
in
the
motion
is
if
I
capture
this
correctly
accounts,
fiber
davis,
since,
what's
already
included
in
the
motion,
is
item
number
two
from
councilmember
carrasco's
and
my
memo
that
we
didn't
need
to
redraft
or
reword
item
number
two,
a
of
your
memo
in
order
to
address
the
concerns
about
sort
of
being
prescriptive
on
this
item,
because
you
mentioned
yourself
that
you
didn't
want
it
to
be
prescriptive,
you
wanted
the
governance
structure
to
be
studied,
and
so
I'm
assuming
that
in
trying
to
avoid
us
making
some
sausage,
councilmember
davis,
provided
a
clear
kind
of
way
of
addressing
that
concern.
B
That
includes
it,
and
so
what
I'm
just
proposing
right
now
in
order
to
address
your
concern,
is
to
have
item
number
2a
on
the
mayor's
memo,
adding
that
language
to
item
number
two
of
council
member
carrascos
and
my
memo,
so
that
that
language
is
specifically
included
into
that
in
order
to
address
your
concern.
Does
that
work.
E
That
part
works,
and
maybe
I
didn't-
I
missed
part
of
these
substitute
motion,
but
my
understanding
was
councilmember
arenas
eliminated
my
2a
not
modified
it
or.
B
I
I
I
I'll
leave
it
to
council
member
at
in
us,
but
I
thought
it
was
in
acknowledgement
of
councilmember
davis's,
pretty
like
smart
kind
of
clear
suggestion
of
addressing
everybody's
concerns
in
existing
language
instead
of
rewording.
Item
2a
is
that
correct?
I
just
want
to
make
sure.
I
Can
I
mayor,
can
I
ask
if
this
is
an
amendment,
because
currently
I
know
that
I
took
on
council
member
davis's
amendment
to
include
number
two
on
council
members
farsan
carrasco's
memo,
but
what
I'm
hearing
is
that,
in
order
to
suffice
to
address
vice
mayors,
concerns
that
we
also
add
2a
from
the
mayor's
memo
is
that.
D
I
Well,
I
guess
I
don't
understand
why,
if,
if
the
reason
that
I
eliminated
to
a
vice
mayor
was
because
I
thought
it
was
too
prescriptive,
and
I
thought
that's
where
council
members
was
going
in
terms
of
trying
to
listen
to
some
of
your
concerns
and
adopt
some
language
to
address
that,
and
I
thought
in
in
picking
up
the
mayor's
2a
along
with
her
number
two
that
it
would
suffice,
because
I
I
continue
to
believe
that
the
2a
on
on
your
memo
vice
mayor
is
very
prescriptive,
because
it
only
looks
at
the
mayor
council,
and
that
is
asking
for
that
particular
for
the
executive
authority
and
council,
in
which
the
mayor
has
executive
authority
and
council
has
legislative
authorities.
B
B
So
so
I
that's
why
I'm
asking
vice
mayor
jones
does
does
so
you
want
to
include
your
item
2a
now
right
because
we
had
a
discussion.
You
said
you
did
not
so
if
we,
if
we
looked
at
2a,
so
if
you
have
your
2a
in
front
of
you
right
now,.
E
B
So
if
we,
if
2a,
were
to
read
consideration
of
governance
structures,
governance
structure
provisions,
including
those
consistent
with
the
mayor
council
government
structure,
found
in
other
cities
in
the
united
states,
in
which
the
mayor
has
executive
authority
and
the
council
has
legislative
authority,
would
that
language
address
your
concerns.
Vice
mayor.
B
Sure
so
they
so
item
2a.
So
if
we
added
four
words,
if
it
read
consideration
of
governance
structure
provisions,
including
those
consistent
with
the
mayor
council
government
structure,
found
in
other
cities
in
the
united
states,
in
which
the
mayor
has
executive
authority
and
the
council
has
legislative
authority,
would
that
address
your
concerns?
B
Okay?
So
I
would
like
to
make
a
friendly
amendment
to
council
member
at
in
us.
If
we
could
change
if
we
could
keep
2a
of
the
vice
mayor's
memo
and
add
those
four
words
so
that
the
sentence
would
read
and
I'll
read
it
again
for
staff
consideration
of
government
governance
structure
provisions,
including
those
consistent
with
the
mayor
council
government
structure,
found
in
other
cities
in
the
united
states,
in
which
the
mayor
has
executive
authority
and
the
council
has
legislative
authority.
D
B
B
Yeah
me
too,
thank
you
vice
mayor,
appreciate,
appreciate
your
you
know
your
ability
to
work
through
issues,
as
always.
Thank
you
for
that.
So
I.
B
So
I
I
wanted
to
also
I
wanted
to
thank
the
community
speaking
out.
The
community
has
been
very
outspoken,
obviously
on
the
30th
and
the
first,
but
you
know
I
don't
think
that
anything
about
this
july
is
normal.
We're
in
a
global
pandemic
we're
in
a
recession.
B
We
have
the
most
civil
unrest
than
we've
had
since
the
60s
and-
and
so
this
has
not
been
a
normal
time,
and
so
I
think
it's
right
that
here
we
are
in
not
having
a
recess
and
that
we
have
had
this
special
meeting
today
and
that
the
community
has
also
spent
their
july
continuing
to
speak
out
and
that
in
these,
in
the
protests
that
we
have
had
in
the
physical
protests,
as
well
as
the
protests
on
social
media,
that
people
have
been
demanding
to
be
heard
in
in
our
form
of
government
and
all
of
our
decision
making.
B
They
don't
just
want
to
be
heard.
They
want
to
be
part
of
that
process,
and
so
I'd
like
to
thank
the
hundreds
of
people
that
have,
if
not
more,
that
have
been
speaking
out
all
month
on
this
I'd
like
to
thank
my
colleagues
for
listening
as
well
to
the
community.
B
I'd
like
to
thank
the
mayor
for
listening
to
folks
and
addressing
concerns
that
have
been
raised
about
process
and
about
unity,
and
I'd
also
like
to
thank
the
organizations
that
have
been
speaking
out
this
july
about
having
the
need
to
have
a
thoughtful
and
inclusive
process,
including
the
naacp,
the
league
of
women
voters,
la
raza,
roundtable
citizens
for
fiscal
responsibility.
B
The
south
bay
labor
council,
former
county
supervisor,
and
vice
mayor
blanca
alvarado.
The
first
latina
to
ever
represent
us
on
the
city,
council
and
chuck
davidson
who
served
on
the
original,
1965
commission.
And
so
you
know
our
all
of
them.
Along
with
so
many
others
have
been
speaking
up
demanding
to
be
heard,
but
also
demanding
to
be
a
part
of
change,
demanding
to
have
a
government
of
the
people
by
the
people
and
for
the
people,
including
on
the
governance
structure
of
our
city.
B
So
I
really
just
wanted
to
thank
folks
who
have
stepped
up
and
the
need
to
have
a
thoughtful
inclusive
process.
This
is
not
a
normal
time.
We
are
in
a
pandemic
people.
It's
it's
an
incredible
time
of
upheaval,
and
so
now
is
not
the
time
to
rush
through
anything,
and
you
know,
there's
a
tremendous
amount
of
equity
that
needs
to
be
included
in
this
process.
B
B
Actually,
my
I
had
a
community
meeting
earlier
this
month
and
when
we
were
kind
of
getting
into
it,
we
we
discovered
and
were
able
to
share
with
the
city,
clerk
and
others
that
there
is
no
vietnamese
option
in
zoom
zoom
there.
It
doesn't
exist.
So
whenever
you
do
a
zoo
meeting
and
you
need
to
have
vietnamese
translations,
which
is
pretty
important
for
a
city
like
ours,
you
have
to
pick
another
language
right
today,
it's
german
tomorrow.
It
could
be
something
else.
B
In
addition
to
that,
we
have
a
huge
digital
divide
that
this
council
has
voted
to
address
and
and
zoom
you
know,
is
we're
working
to
address
that
digital
divide,
but
zoom
is,
is
divisive
if
we're
not
going
to
have
an
equal
opportunity
for
our
community
and
parts
of
our
city
to
participate
in
in
meetings,
and
so
I
think
that's
really
a
huge
component
and
I
don't
want
to
overlook
it,
and
I
think
that's
something
that
the
blue
ribbon
commission
needs
to
address,
and
it's
something
that
we
need
to
look
at
in
terms
of
timing.
B
B
I
hope
it's
sooner,
but
it
could
be
later
and
so
that,
at
some
point
through
the
work
of
this
blue
ribbon
commission
that
we
actually
find
a
way,
especially
obviously
towards
the
end
of
this
commission's
work,
but
really
throughout.
We
find
ways
to
incorporate
in-person
outreach,
the
measure,
the
measure
j
from
1986
they
evaluated
testimony
from
city
officials,
including
the
city
manager,
city
auditor,
other
members
of
the
council,
former
city
officials.
B
They
sought
the
expertise
of
municipal
consultants,
academics,
they
had
public
hearings
and
tap
the
libraries
of
national
organizations
dedicated
to
city
governments.
B
That's
a
pretty
extensive
body
of
work
that
took
place
in
public
and
so
again
I
just
asked
that,
as
the
work
of
this
blue
ribbon
commission
that
we
recognize
that
we're
in
a
pandemic
that
we
do
the
work
of
the
public
in
public
as
much
as
possible
and
that
we
make
an
effort
to
include
folks
who
are
excluded
by
a
process
that
relies
on
the
internet.
B
I
also
wanted
to
to
really
you
know.
We
talked
a
lot
about
process,
but
we
haven't
really
looked
at
the
the
measure
itself
and-
and
so
I
I
will
leave
that
to
to
the
future,
but
I
do
want
to
say
that
it's
important
that
as
we
look
at
the
governance
structure
of
our
city,
that
it
address,
checks
and
balances,
I'm
I'm
a
product,
I'm
not
ashamed
to,
say
it
at
all.
I'm
a
product
of
district
elections,
right
district
elections
changed
the
landscape
of
our
city.
B
It
changed
it
politically,
but
it
changed
it
physically.
I
I
used
to
serve
a
million
years
ago
when
we
had
one
on
the.
We
had
a
cdbg
commission
in
the
90s
and
what
we
did
with
cdbg
funds
was
we
put
in
sidewalks
and
street
lights
and
roads
in
east
side
and
alviso
in
the
90s,
and
that
was
because
we
had
people
on
the
city
council
that
insisted
that
we
use
cdbg
funds
to
bring
some
equity
and
having
roads.
B
I
think
dave
sykes
famously
worked
on
the
last
dirt
road
in
san
jose
when
you
were
in
public
works,
dave,
and
that
was
in
district,
seven
right
and
so
the
the
we
ensure
that
there
is
one
checks
and
balances
in
a
future
governance
structure
for
our
city
and
that
we
really
look
at
having
voices
for
our
neighborhoods.
B
The
mayor's
office
is
rightly
focused
on
really
big
important
things
for
our
city.
You
know
we
we've
talked
a
lot
about
bart
and
while
we
are
all
involved
in
that
frankly,
the
mayor
leads
it
for
our
city
and
I
think,
that's
appropriate,
and
so
I
want
a
mayor
that
is
going
to
focus
on
a
lot
of
these
big
deals
and
issues
for
our
city,
but
we
cannot
lose
the
voices
and
the
accountability
to
our
neighborhoods
and
our
neighborhoods
elect
us
to
represent
them
and
yeah.
I'm
focused
on
quality
of
life.
B
In
my
in
my
district,
I
don't
apologize
for
that
ever
because
I'm
closest
to
my
neighborhoods,
so
I'm
focused
on
other
things
that
you
know.
I
know
the
mayor
has
partnered
on
some
some
things
that
are
quality
of
life,
but
but
the
mayor
should
be
focused
on
larger
things
and,
lastly,
as
we
as
we
talk
about
a
governance
structure
for
our
city,
that
we
must
ensure
that
there
is
some
equity
embedded
in
that
governance
structure,
and
so
I
just
I
I
know
again
we're
gonna.
B
Have
this
great
commission
do
the
work,
but
I
don't
want
that
to
get
lost,
that
we
have
some
serious
issues,
and
I
am
very
hopeful
of
the
work
of
this
commission
to
do.
The
work
bless
you
to
do
the
work
that
measure
jay
and
and
other
previous
commissions
in
1978,
blanca,
alvarado
and
zoe
lofgren
worked
on
the
commission.
B
I
want
to
hear
ideas
that
they
are
going
to
research
and
bring
to
us
that
will
bring
equity
that
will
bring
rise
up
the
voices
of
our
neighborhoods
and
ensure
accountability
to
our
neighborhoods
and
that
it's
thoughtful
for
our
whole
city.
So
with
that,
oh-
and
I
also
wanted
to
have-
I
wanted
to
address
a
couple
of
items
that
we
need
to
review.
B
One
is
the
two
year
versus
the
sixth
year.
I
think
that's
still
kind
of
hanging
out
there.
I
think
that
it's
pretty
clear
that
people
want
democracy,
especially
right
now,
and
there
needs
to
be
an
election
in
2022..
B
I
would
prefer
a
two-year
term
if
sam
or
raul
or
anybody
else,
I
mean
frankly,
this
isn't
about
sam
or
raul.
This
is
about
democracy
and,
if
samurai
want
to
run
for
that
office,
if
we
want
to
look
at
what
that
election
is
going
to
be
like
do
we
want
it?
B
B
I
had
some
questions
on
councilmember
arenas's
memo
on
item
five,
so
councilman
brought
in
us.
If
you
could
talk
about
number
five,
I
there
wasn't
I'm
not.
I
don't
have
a
lot
of
clarity
in
terms
of.
Are
you
looking
at
two
charter
amendments?
I'm
not
sure
what
that
means.
So,
if
you
could
help
me
understand,
that
would
be
great.
I
Yeah,
I
know
how
controversial
this
piece
is,
and
I
was
nervous
about
having
the
the
redistricting
and
the
the
commission
item
connected
to
this
particular
charter
amendment.
I
know
there
is
on
august
4th
we're
going
to
be
talking
also
about
the
ipa
charter
amendment,
all
the
all
of
the
charter.
I
I
Charter
change
because
the
opposition
is
going
to
be
great
in
case
this.
I
don't
know
how
you
know.
I
don't
know
if
my
motion
will
move
forward.
I
don't
know
how
that
will
result
in,
but
I
don't
want
the
planning
commission
piece
to
fail
in
case
this
doesn't
get
approved.
I
don't
want
the
redistricting
and
that
change
that
we
need
in
case
the
census
is
late
to
also
write
on
this.
I
B
H
Mark
that's
correct!
That's
coming
forward
on
august
4th.
I
Right,
so
could
we
easily
transfer
some
of
the
this
language
once
once
it's
decided
on
the
planning,
commission
and
the
and
the
redistricting
charter
amendment.
Could
those
two
get
connected
to
the
ipa
versus
having
it
connected
to
this
particular
item.
G
Yes
well,
the
thing
is,
though,
as
I
mentioned
earlier,
it
would
be
good
to
get
directions
so
that
we
can
provide
you
with
the
ballot
measures
that
you
are
considering,
so
we
could
combine
them,
as
mark
indicated,
those
three
items
together:
the
ipa,
the
planning
commission
and
the
registering
into
one
ballot
measure.
G
If
you
don't
want
them
combined
with
this
one,
we
simply
would
like
the
direction
so
that
we
can
bring
back
what
the
ballot
measure
would
look
like,
so
that
you
can
appropriately
consider
voting
on
which
ballot
measures
you
want
to
move
forward.
I
So
the
ipa,
the
commission,
the
planning
commission
and
the
redistricting
together
written
together,
okay
and
then
have
the
these
items
on
the
strong
mayor,
the
campaign
reform
and
changing
the
mayor's
race
to
presidential
year
together,
because
they
just
make
sense
together.
I
Oh
I'm!
So
sorry,
yes,
yes
ed!
I
I
realize
what
I
just
said.
Yes,
thank
you.
So
yes,
I'm
redirecting
that
to
go
towards
that,
so
it
won't
go
on
the
charter.
If
this
moves
forward,
like
I
said
I
don't
know
where
the
rest
of
my
colleagues
stand
with
this,
if
they're
supportive
of
this,
I
hope
they
can
be.
I
really
appreciate
what
you
just
finished
saying.
Council
members
far
said
that
people
really
want
to
have
some
transparency
and
they
want
to
have
their
voices
heard.
I
This
is
what
we've
been
hearing
all
all
month,
and
so
I
think
they
want
to
to
be
able
to
cast
a
vote
for
their
next
mayor
and
but
we've
yet
to
decide
on
this
I've
yet
to
hear
from
the
rest
of
our
colleagues,
and
so
I'm
really
nervous
about
having
the
the
planning
commission
and
the
redistricting
charter
amendments
that
need
to
happen
because
in
case
the
census
is
late,
which
we
expect
it
to
be
late
to
be
connected
to
this
particular
item,
because
if
I
understand
it
correctly
ed,
if
if
this
gets
voted
down
and
the
voters
say
no,
however,
I
don't
know.
I
However,
this
looks
like
at
this
point.
It
looks
like
the
way
that
we've
laid
it
out
with
my
memo.
I
don't
know
if
this
will
survive
or
not,
but
if
it,
if
it
doesn't,
then
it's
connected
with
the
planning,
commission
and
the
and
the
redistricting
charter
amendments
correct.
B
And
so
today
we
can
give
direction
to
separate
that
and
then
on
august
4th
we
will
get
ipa
and
we
can.
We
can
offer
further
direction
at
that
time.
Is
that
correct.
G
Correct
we
just
need
direction
as
to
what
you
think
today
you
would
like
to
see
and
then
we'll
bring
back
the
actual
ballot
measures
we
have
two
of
them
already
on
there
for
the
fourth
we'll
bring
back
this
one.
If
you're
asking
us
to
combine
two
of
the
elements
in
this
one
in
another
one,
we
will
come
back
with
a
revised
one
for
the
other
one
on
august
4th.
G
B
Okay,
thank
you,
that's
helpful
and
then,
on
august
4th
we
can
provide
any
additional
direction,
so
we
don't
need
to
decide
everything
today.
So
I
had
I
wanted
to
address
the
other
items
that
staff
needed
feedback
again.
My
preference
is
a
two-year
election.
I
think
the
voters
want
an
election.
The
mayor
has
previously
said
this
is
not
about
him
and
again
I'm
not
trying
to
make
this
about
the
mayor
or
raul.
B
This
is
about
democracy
in
terms
of
my
opinions
on
whether
it
should
be
a
two-year
or
six-year
term,
and
so
staff
also
wanted
some
feedback
on
whether
the
contribution
limit
should
apply
to
all
candidates.
Again,
my
feedback
would
be
that
if
the
contribution
limit
applied
to
some
candidates,
it
should
apply
to
all
candidates.
B
B
The
city
manager
dismissal
subject
to
council
rejection
that
could
change
based
on
today's
motion.
Correct
margaret.
G
Yes,
so,
as
we
indicated,
those
questions
were
asked
at
the
end
of
the
presentation,
because
we
were
assuming
we
had
to
make
a
decision
for
the
august
4th
ballot
measure.
But
if
you're
referring
all
this
to
the
blue
ribbon
commission,
then
it's
not
necessary
for
you
to
make
that
decision,
because
you're
letting
them
give
you
initial
comments
before
you
make
your
decision.
B
B
The
july
31st
2021
deadline
for
the
census
bureau
to
report
data
back,
so
this
deadline
means
we
could
miss
the
deadline
to
put
this
into
effect
for
the
march
20
2022
election,
and
so
is
there
a
more
practical
way
for
us
to
move
up
the
redistricting
deadlines
so
that
our
new
districts
would
go
into
fact
when
they
normally
would
so
you,
you
offered
us
two
options
and
I'm
so
if
you
could
answer
that
question
before
going
into
the
options,
that
would
be
great.
H
Sure
I
can
handle
that
question.
I
I
think
the
what
we
had
proposed
was
just
the
reason
we
proposed.
Those
deadlines
was
to
be
consistent
with
the
original
deadlines.
H
In
the
event,
the
census
is
timely,
you're
correct
that
if
the
election
is
going
to
be
held
on
march
of
2022,
then
the
nomination
period
begins
113
days
before,
and
the
ordinance
will
need
to
be
in
effect
before
that
date,
in
order
for
the
new
districts
to
to
go
into
effect
for
that
election
as
it
stands
now,
the
the
deadline
in
the
charter
of
october
31st
is
just
the
last
day.
There's
no
reason
that
the
advisory
commission
or
the
council
couldn't
adopt
an
ordinance
sooner.
H
However,
under
state
law,
the
council
is
required
to
hold
at
least
three
public
hearings,
and
the
advisory
commission
under
the
charter
is
required
to
hold
at
least
three
public
hearings
as
well.
So
those
those
do
need
to
go
into
effect
and
there
needs
to
be
some
time
to
accommodate
that.
One
thing
also
to
be
aware
of
is
there
is
a
bill
in
the
state
legislature
to
move
the
2022
election
to
june.
H
That
has
gone
out
of
committee,
it
hasn't
been
made
into
law
yet,
but
if
that
were
to
pass,
then
the
nomination
period
would
change
and
off
the
top
of
my
head.
I
believe,
113
days
before
the
june
22
of
2022
election
will
be
sometime
in
february.
I
believe
valentine's
day.
B
Okay,
do
we
is,
is
lee
on
the
line?
Do
we
know
if
what
the
status
of
that
bill?
Just
out
of
curiosity
mayor,
have
you
heard
anything
about
that
bill.
J
A
No
okay
and
council
member
lee's
not
on
the
line,
and
I
have
not
either
but
we'll
do
some
follow-ups.
B
Okay,
I
think
that
that
would
be
really
helpful
and
so
a.
B
For
sure,
and
so
so
what
you
need
to
hear
from
us,
ed
and
mark
is
whether
we
would
extend
the
deadline
or
authorize
authorize,
a
change
by
ordinance.
If
it's
late
is
that
correct.
G
H
The
second
option
is,
you
know,
it's
possible
that
in
the
future,
a
census
could
also
be
late
for
any
number
of
reasons,
but
the
second
option
would
allow
the
council,
if
the
census
is
indeed
late
in
any
given
year
to
by
ordinance,
establish
a
deadline
that
that
would
guide
both
the
advisory
commission's
role,
as
well
as
the
deadlines
for
the
enactment
of
the
redistricting
ordinance,
which
would
allow
a
little
bit
more
flexibility.
H
Given
you
know,
in
this
current
climate,
a
lot
of
things
are
changing
and
there's
a
number
of
different
proposals
out
there
for
what
to
do
with
it,
and
so
that
second
option
would
allow
a
little
bit
more
flexibility
for
the
council
to
decide
what
to
do.
In
that
moment,.
B
Okay
and
then-
and
so
it
also
sounds
like
that,
flexibility
would
then
address
item
number
five.
It's
one
of
the
things
mentioned
in
item
number
five
and
councilmember
autonomous
is
memo.
Is
that
what
you
also
met?
Councilmember
venus?
Getting
that
clarity
for
the
future,
so
I
would
support
giving
the
city
flexibility
in
the
future.
If
you
know,
god
forbid,
if
we
had
another
pandemic
ten
years
from
now,
but
that
it
give
the
city
that
flexibility
to
not
be
in
the
boat
that
we're
in
right
now.
B
So
so
that's
the
feedback
and
also
I'm
remiss
and
I
I
think,
some
organizations
that
came
out
against
a
rushed
process
for
strong
mayor
and
an
unelected
two-year
term,
but
I'd
also
like
to
thank
the
black
kitchen
cabinet
and
the
asian
law
alliance
for
for
their
work
on
that
to
oppose
the
previous
rush
system
versus.
What's
on
the
motion,
that's
on
the
floor
right
now.
Thank
you.
A
Thank
you.
We
are
going
to
take
a
break
at
12
o'clock
for
lunch
and
we'll
resume
unless
folks,
otherwise
would
resume
our
standard
time
at
130..
A
A
The
issue
relating
to
census
and
redistricting
is
one
we
have
to
resolve,
not
just
because
of
covet,
but
this
has
been
an
ongoing
problem.
If
I
could
channel
terry
christensen
for
a
moment,
there's
a
problem
in
2000
and
again
2010
and
enabling
that
commission
to
do
its
work
and
redistricting.
That
issue
clearly
has
to
do
with
representation.
It
clearly
affects
elections.
It
clearly
affects
voting,
and
I
think
it's
important
for
that
to
be
combined
with
this.
I
think
it
would
be
a
big
mistake
to
have
separate
too
many
separate
ballot
measures
that
would
cost.
K
Yeah,
thank
you
and
thank
you
to
the
staff
to
put
in
the
work
during
this
july.
I
think
it's
been
a
much
much
busier
july
than
had
been
expected
and
to
our
community
members
that
have
stayed
diligent
in
the
organizations
as
well
that
have
pressed
on
on
this
issue.
I
think
certainly
right.
K
I
am
pleased
with
where
the
conversation
is
going
today,
based
on
the
the
late
memo
from
the
mayor
and
it
really
sort
of
resembles
what
I
was
asking
for
back
in
a
memo
issued
on
june
24th,
when
this
first
came
in
front
of
the
the
initial
public
body,
which
was
our
rules
committee
for
discussion,
and
this
was
my
initial
indication-
was
to
slow
down,
and
I
know
I
asked
the
rules
committee,
the
question.
K
What
was
the
rush-
and
you
know
certainly
for
me
right
that
that
has
been
an
ongoing
issue.
We
heard
that
through
you
know,
a
large
debate
of
nearly
12
hours
on
this
one
item
from
many
many
community
members,
even
at
that
early
stage,
a
lot
of
organizations
that
were
asking
for
the
same
thing,
and
certainly
nearly
half
the
council
and
ultimately
that's
now.
What
we're
we're
discussing,
and
so
I'm
certainly
pleased
with
the
outcome
of
where
this
conversation
has
led.
K
I
I
think
I
wish
could
have
had
this
discussion
back
june,
30th
and
july
1st,
but
nevertheless
I
think
it's
it's
it
was.
I
was
happy
to
see
the
the
shift
in
in
our
mayor's
mindset
on
how
we
should
proceed,
also
the
conversation
that
we've
had
today
in
regards
to
how
to
move
forward.
I
do
feel
words
matter,
and
so
I
appreciate
the
back
and
forth
dialogue
from
my
colleagues.
K
I
apologize
to
our
community
members.
I
even
felt
as
though
it
was
a
bit
like
watching
three
cup
monty
to
try
and
follow
what
was
happening
with
the
the
amendment
and
the
the
recommendation
and
the
friendly
amendments.
But
I
do
think
that
words
matter
and-
and
you
know
we
don't
want
to
be
too
prescriptive,
but
we
need
to
certainly
be
clear
on
what
it
is
that
we
want
this
commission
to
look
into.
K
But
there's
a
difference
between
you
know
providing
a
direction
that
makes
it
seem
as
though
the
only
outcome
will
be
going
to
the
ballot,
with
particular
amendments
versus
suggestions
for
what
the
commission
should
look
into
and
then
ultimately
not
knowing
if
we'll
go
to
a
ballot
or
not
or
what
we
will
go
to
a
ballot
with.
K
And
I
think
that
we've
come
to
that
that
place
in
regards
to
allowing
all
the
language
that
has
been
presented
by
both
the
mayor,
the
vice
mayor,
council,
member
esparza
and
carrasco
and
arenas
to
put
that
together
to
ensure
that
this
commission
is
looking
at
at
all
these
different
elements
and
suggestions
and
that,
ultimately,
they
will
come
back
with
what
they
feel
the
council
should
put
forth
on
on
a
ballot
and,
and
then
the
council
and
the
mayor
can
discuss
that
and
ultimately
make
that
decision.
K
Once
we've
had
a
real,
thorough
vetting
and
and
a
true
community
engagement,
and
so
I
appreciate
that
on
the
on
the
motion
as
well
in
regards
to
this
item
number
five
from
councilmember
arenas's
memo-
I
I'm
looking
at
right
now:
five
different
options
or
five
different
initiatives.
Potentially
right.
We
have
the
ipa
and
the
card
room
tax
that
were
already
on
agenda
for
august
4th,
and
now
we
have
work.
We've
been
engaged
in
right
for
the
planning
commission.
K
What
we
are
discussing
here
today,
which
has
now
been
sort
of
boiled
down
to
moving
the
mayor's
race
to
the
presidential
cycle
and
then
the
redistricting,
which
none
of
us
expected
that
we
were
going
to
be
discussing
that
due
to
the
census,
so
five
different,
potentially
initiatives
and-
and
certainly
I
don't
wanna-
be
driven
by
by
the
funding
that
we
may
or
may
not
have.
We
know
some
of
these
have
to
go
to
this
this
ballot.
K
This
november
funding,
you
know,
has
to
be
an
issue,
but
it
shouldn't
drive
our
decision,
but
I
do
think
that
there
is
a
way
to
to
figure
out
how
we
can
combine
some
of
these
and
and
not
also
confuse
the
voters
with
too
much
on
the
ballot,
because
also
five
different
initiatives
could
be
could
be
challenging.
K
And
so
I
I
would
actually
agree
that
I
want
to
give
staff
some
some
leeway
here
to
be
able
to
help
decide
what
might
go
together
initially,
if
we
were
going
to
have
the
the
the
strong
mayor
initiative,
language
and
moving
the
mayor's
race,
an
extension
of
two
years
for
our
current
mayor.
K
I
did
not
think
needed
anything
else
along
with
it
if
we
have
now
eliminated
the
majority
of
those
and
we're
now
going
to
move
the
mayor's
race
and-
and
I
would
agree
and
why
I
seconded
the
motion-
I
think
we
need
to
have
an
election
in
2022,
I'm
I'm
not
necessarily
leaning
one
side
or
another.
K
I
think
I
I
can
discuss
that
after
this
item
number
five
here
on
the
two
or
the
six
year
term,
but
in
my
mind
we
do
have
five
different
initiatives
that
we
need
to
combine
to
to
less
than
five,
and
so
I
am
curious
on
staff's
initial
response.
The
mayor
just
pointed
out,
I
think
the
same
challenge
as
well.
K
I
don't
know
if
staff
has
an
answer
right
now,
but
certainly
right
you're
looking
for
some
direction,
I
think
what
I'm
looking
for
is
is
some
of
your
insight
on
what
you
think
actually
does
fit
well
together
and
and
what
doesn't-
and
so
I
don't
know
if
you're
prepared
to
answer
that
right
now,
but
that
might
help
us
give
you
some
direction
on
what
should
or
should
not
be
combined.
Otherwise,
I
might
defer
to
councilmember
esparza's
comments,
which
is
that
you
know
giving
you
some
some
leeway
that
we
certainly
want
these
to
be.
K
G
So,
as
I
mentioned
earlier
in
this
discussion,
the
the
reason
we
combined
these
three
together,
not
because
we
that
was
our
our
recommendation-
it
was
for
twofold.
It
was
clearly
understanding
the
costs
involved
in
doing
multiple
ballot
measures,
but
then
also
to
bring
all
of
these
items
before
the
council
at
this
meeting
before
the
august.
The
4th
there
is,
you
know,
some
basis
for
the
mayor's
recommendation
when
you're
changing
dates
and
charters.
G
You
can
combine
the
dates
because
that
could
be
easily
discussed
and
whatever
information
is
being
given
to
the
public,
but
you
know
we're
we're
open
to
what
whatever
proposals
the
council
may
have
in
combining
them
and
mark.
I
don't
know
if
you
had
a
chance
to
actually
look
at
this
point
at
the
possible
combinations,
but
it
was
simply
to
give
the
council
the
opportunity
to
discuss
all
three
options
today
and
and
and
for
you
to
give
us
direction
as
to
what
combinations
you
wanted
us
to
come
back
with.
K
And
maybe
you
could
speak
or
mark
mark
1
and
2
specifically
as
to
why?
Maybe
you
would
would
not
support
if
that?
Maybe
that's
not
the
case,
maybe
I'm
assuming
here,
but
why
you
would
not
support
adding
the
planning
commission
and
the
redistricting
to
say,
for
instance,
the
ipa
reforms
as
councilmember
dennis
has
suggested
and
and
mayor
happy
to
have
you
chime
in
after
mark
as
well.
H
You
know
I
I
can
weigh
in
there's
no
position
for
me
to
take
one
way
or
the
other.
I
think,
as
ed
mentioned.
With
regard
to
elections,
it
is
a
yes
or
no
vote.
So
when
you
have
measures
that
combine
things,
the
voters
don't
get
to
pick
and
choose
what
they
like
and
what
they
don't
like.
They
either
have
to
vote.
Yes
on
the
whole
measure
or
vote
no,
and
so
that's
the
real,
only
real
consideration.
A
A
I
just
don't
see
any
kind
of
obvious
nexus
to
ipas
or
card
clubs,
and
I
think
it
can
really
be
dealt
with
with
a
single
sentence
out
of
the
75
words.
That
could
be
pretty
succinct,
and
I
really
don't
think
this
is
going
to
be
in
any
way
controversial
because
everybody
understands
what's
going
on
right
now
in
the
world.
A
With
regard
to
the
planning
commission,
you
know,
I
think
it
would
be
look.
I
know
budget
isn't
the
only
consideration,
but
it
is
a
consideration
and
I
think
we
should
ask
ourselves
how
critically
important
is
it
for
us
to
have
11
commissioners,
rather
than
simply
saying,
let's
make
sure
we
have
seven
commercials,
commissioners
that
actually
represent
separate
districts,
that
is
planning
commission
districts
to
ensure
we
have
full
and
fair
representation
throughout
the
city
and
save
ourselves
the
trouble
of
going
to
the
ballot?
That
would
be
my
suggestion.
K
And
there
thank
you,
I
guess
there
you
know,
there's
other
options
as
well
to
try
to
move
something
forward.
For
instance,
one
could
be
you
know
we
we
end
up
having
four
initiatives
rather
than
five.
If
we
combine
this
planning
commission
with
the
redistricting
and
left
the
the
mayor's
race
independently
on
its
own
versus
combining
the
three
of
them
again,
I
was
more
opposed
to
combining
anything
to
that
initiative
when
it
was
already
going
to
have
multiple
components.
K
I'm
not
I'm
not.
You
know
pressed
on
that
anymore,
but
I
certainly
still
understand
the
importance
these
are.
You
know
independent
items
we're
just
now.
We've
got
almost
too
many
to
be
bringing
forward.
I
do
think
it's
worth
a
discussion.
What
you
just
suggested
mayor,
I
I
think
it's
unfortunate
to
not
be
able
to
move
forward
with
planning
commission
a
planning,
commission
change.
K
We've
you
know
worked
hard
to
to
get
to
that
revision
and
I
would
would
not
necessarily
want
to
want
to
drop
that
from
this
this
ballot,
but
I
do
think
it's
worth
conversation,
especially
if
we're
going
to
be
talking
about
well,
do
we
do
we
combine
multiple
items
or
do
we
maybe
leave
something
off?
I
guess
that's
a
discussion
we
don't
necessarily
have
to
have
today.
We
can
have
that
discussion
on
august
4th
as
well
giving
people
time
to
talk
about
that.
K
If
we
want
to
you
know,
if
staff
wants
to
come
back
with
sort
of
a
mix
and
says
here's
the
five
different
items
and
here's,
you
know
a
way
that
we
can
combine
a
couple
of
them.
Yet
if
you
dropped
off
one
or
you
know
and
didn't
add
it
to
this
ballot,
you
know
it
might
make
it
less
confusing.
K
So
I
you
know,
I
would
like
to
allow
some
flexibility
to
to
staff
and-
and
I
am
comfortable-
I
do
understand
mayor
your
point
on
the
nexus
of
the
ipa.
K
I
think
that,
yes,
I
would
agree,
there's
probably
less
of
a
nexus
with
the
ipa
and
the
planning
or
the
redistricting
than
there
is
with
moving
the
mayor's
race,
but
I
think
at
the
end
of
the
day
you
know
they
all
sort
of
could
stand
on
their
own,
and
so
we
have
to
find
out
what
we,
we
think
should
be
a
standalone
item
and
so
I'm
comfortable
with
either
one
I'm
comfortable.
K
If
we
combine
the
the
two
with
the
ipa
or
if
we
we
did
combine
them
with
moving
the
mayor's
race,
I
know
that
doesn't
give
staff
any
of
the
direction
that
they're
or
any
concise
direction
that
they're
looking
for.
So
maybe
that's
up
for
for
more
debate
here
this
afternoon,
so
I'll
I'll
leave
that
at
the
moment-
and
then
the
last
item
was
on
this
this
either.
Is
it
a
two-year
or
a
six-year
term?
K
In
2022.,
I
echo
councilman
barnes's
comments,
and
I
think
that
our
the
response
from
our
community
echoes
this
as
well
that
they
want
to
see
an
election
in
2022,
it's
important
to
them
what
they
had
voted
on
for
the
term
of
our
mayor
and
that
that
that
holds
true
and
that
there
is
an
election
2022,
whether
it
is
two
years
or
six
years.
I
think
I'm
indifferent,
I
think,
there's
an
argument
to
be
had
you
know
for
either
one.
K
I
think
that
the
six
year
term
provides
one
advantage,
which
is
the
opportunity
for
us
to
actually
discuss
what
the
impact
may
be
on
the
odd
number
districts
which,
at
this
point
now
we
are
directing
that
conversation
to
this
charter
revision
commission
to
be
able
to
determine.
Do
we
want,
to
you
know,
move
those
odd-numbered
districts
as
well.
K
But
at
the
same
time
you
know
I
would
agree
that
you
know
as
you're
moving
forward
if
we
want
to
get
to
a
presidential
election
cycle
for
a
mayor
as
soon
as
possible,
that
is
2024
and
and
the
way
to
do.
That
is
a
short
two-year
term
and-
and
I
think
you
know-
councilmember
ardennes's-
memo
sort
of
offers
up
both,
which
is
why
I
was
I
was
comfortable
with
both.
I
think
they
both
have
advantages
and
disadvantages
to
them.
So
I
am,
I
am
comfortable
both.
K
I
think
we
do
need
to
give
a
direction
here
today.
I
I
won't
land
on
either
one.
I
know
that
councilmember
esparza
said
that
she
might
lean
more
towards
the
two-year
term.
I
don't
think
she
asked
for
a
friendly
amendment,
maybe
somebody
will
and
before
we
get
to
a
vote
here.
I
think
we
have
to
obviously
no
matter
what,
but
I
won't
make
a
suggestion
on
that
either.
Those
are
my
comments
for
now
and
I
appreciate
that
thanks.
A
As
for
prize,
I
do
want
to
call
the
question
to
some
extent
to
save
mark
fannie
some
sleepless
nights
next
week.
I
I
do
think
we
need
to
make
some
basic
direction
about
how
we're
going
to
try
to
consolidate
measures
because
ed
correct
me.
If
I'm
wrong,
we've
got
a
a
deadline
after
tuesday's
vote
of
what
it
would
be
thursday.
G
Correct
august,
the
7th
is
the
last
date
to
send
any
ballot
measures
to
the
record,
the
registrar
voters,
and
so
we
will
need
to
have
the
council
approve
on
the
4th.
Now
it
is
possible
to
have
maybe
another
date,
but
we're
really
hoping
that
by
the
fourth,
we
will
have
the
final
version
of
the
ballot
measures
so
that
we
can
make
the
deadline
and
make
certain
that
these
get
on
the
ballot
in
november.
A
G
A
Okay,
thank
you.
So
I
just
offered
that,
for
the
council's
consideration,
councilman
foley
you've
been
very
patient.
It's
now
11
57.
Do
you
want
to
speak
or
or
take
a
break
and
come
back.
A
Okay,
thank
you
councilmember.
Let's,
let's
take
our
break
now
we'll
resume
this
afternoon.
The
needs
in
recess.
Thank.
