Thank
you
good
afternoon.
Give
me
give
me
a
second,
so
where's
Reverend
Dr,
Brian
Franzen.
Is
he
up
here?
Yet
if
you
can
come
up,
sir,
so
Brian
Franzen
serves
as
pastor
of
Westminster
Presbyterian
Church
a
faith
community
that
has
been
in
San
Jose
for
132
years.
A
long
time
the
church
has
been
in
the
heart
of
Al
of
the
Alameda,
since
1926.
Brian
is
a
proven
Community
leader
who
has
served
congregations
across
this
country.
F
Since
coming
in
San
Jose
in
2012,
Brian
has
made
a
concerted
effort
to
be
engaged
in
the
community.
He
has
served
as
the
president
of
the
Rose
white
and
blue
parade.
He
was
formerly
the
chairperson
of
the
Santa
Clara
County
Human
Rights
Commission,
where
he
now
serves
as
Vice
chair
Brian
also
serves
as
a
member
of
the
San
Jose
police
department's
lgbtq
advisory
committee,
and
last
but
not
least,
he
is
part
of
the
Silicon
Valley
Faith
collaborative
a
group
of
Faith
leaders
committed
to
addressing
our
Collective
racist,
American,
Heritage
and
white
privilege.

G

Unfortunately,
people
didn't
see
that
and
kept
them
the
way
they
are
gotten
down
into
the
rigidness
of
what
they
think
is
right,
rather
than
listening
and
loving
their
neighbor
as
a
society.
We
are
in
a
horrible
time
where
we
are
not
listening
to
our
neighbors,
where
we're
looking
at
numbers
and
things
written
out
on
paper,
but
not
caring
for
the
stories
of
those
who
are
struggling.
G
Over
the
last
five
years,
I
have
been
working
with
the
Bill
Wilson
Center
on
renovating
one
of
our
buildings
so
that
they
can
put
in
a
family
navigation
Center
where
they
can
have
all
the
services
in
one
spot.
This
has
taken
forever
and
has
really
brought
the
church
to
the
brink
of
our
financial
capacities.
G
G
G
This
is
who
we
are
as
a
community
I
love
living
in
San,
Jose,
I,
know
many
of
you
and
have
had
a
beer
with
quite
a
few
of
you
actually
and
and
I
know
that
we
can
do
better
as
a
community
that
we
can
make
the
changes
that
we
can
listen
and
we
can
grow
and
we
can
truly
be
one
of
the
best
places
in
this
country
and
in
this
world,
but
we
have
to
challenge
ourselves
and
start
with
loving
our
neighbors.
Thank
you
very
much.
B
Thank
you
Reverend
for
that
beautiful
message
of
love
as
a
call
to
action
appreciate
you
being
here
today,
particularly
on
Valentine's
Day.
Thank
you,
councilmember
Jimenez.
We
are
going
to
move
on
to
ceremonial
items.
We
have
two
today
I
will
ask
councilmember
Candelas
to
join
me
down
at
the
podium
for
the
first.
B
B
Day
and
I
would
like
to
invite
sukdev
bonawal
a
leader
in
the
sikkadwara,
along
and
within
the
sick
Community,
accompanied
by
Dr
harinder
Singh,
the
brother
of
ravinder,
saying
one
of
the
victims
of
Saka
nakodar
and
some
members
of
the
sick
Community
to
join
me
down
here.
Join
us
down
here
at
the
podium.
Please
come
on
down.
B
Dr
Singh
has
been
a
resident
of
San
Jose
for
over
25
years
and
has
been
a
practicing.
Pediatric
has
been
practicing
pediatric
medicine
at
Stanford
University
for
more
than
15
years.
In
addition
to
this,
he's
been
advocating
for
justice
for
what
happened
to
his
brother
and
the
three
other
victims
from
the
Saka
nakodar
incident
in
1986..
B
Saka
nakodar
is
a
tragedy
that
happened
on
February
4th
1986,
when
four
sick
protesters
in
the
town
of
nakodar
and
the
Indian
state
of
Punjab
were
killed
by
Indian
Security
Forces.
These
men,
along
with
hundreds
of
others,
were
peacefully
protesting.
The
desecration
of
the
guru
grantha
sahib
the
whole,
the
central
Holy
scripture
in
the
Sikh
religion,
when
the
security
forces
opened
fire
on
them
shortly
after
this
tragic
event,
the
families
of
the
victims
and
Community
began.
B
San
Jose
is
home
to
over
20
thousand
six
and
the
largest
Gurdwara
outside
of
India,
and
it
is
important
that
we
recognize
events
like
this
within
the
community
in
Punjabi.
The
word
Saka
means
a
historic
incident
or
tragedy
that
involves
rare
Valor
or
sacrifice
these
men
made
the
ultimate
sacrifice
for
what
they
believed
was
right:
I'd
like
to
invite
Dr
Singh
to
the
microphone
to
say
a
few
words
now.
H
This
is
not
just
a
heart-wrenching
reality,
but
an
alarming
truth
that
the
states
appointed
judicial
commissions
inquiry
has
remained
buried
for
37
long
excruciating
years,
while
our
families
continue
to
suffer
and
await
Justice.
The
lack
of
action
is
not
just
a
failure
of
the
system,
but
a
failure
of
humanity.
H
I
would
like
to
extend
my
heartful
appreciation
for
your
issues
of
a
proclamation
and
your
unbeavering
efforts
to
bring
attention
to
this
dark
chapter
in
our
history.
Your
actions
serve
as
a
powerful
reminder
that
we
must
never
forget
the
atrocities
and
of
the
past
and
always
strive
for
justice
and
accountability.
I'm
grateful
for
your
sport,
as
well
as
my
community
Sport,
and
for
shining
a
light
on
this
crucial
issue.
Your
commitment
to
justice
and
human
rights
is
greatly
acknowledged
and
appreciated
by
all
those
who
have
been
affected
with
this
tragedy,
with
sincere
gratitude
I.

B
I
Good
afternoon
today,
I
have
Dio
Palencia,
Donna
Cato
and
Lisa
Lovelace
from
the
American
Heart
Association
here
to
accept
the
American
Heart
month
Proclamation.
Together,
we
aim
to
make
San
Jose
a
City
full
of
healthy
long-living
residents.
Heart
disease
continues
to
be
the
number
one
killer
of
all
Americans,
causing
one
in
three
deaths
each
year.
I
So
many
of
those
deaths
could
be
prevented
with
lifestyle
changes
and
education,
which
is
part
of
the
heart
association's
mission
for
longer.
Healthier
lives,
healthier
eating
habits,
better
access
to
healthy
food,
more
walkable
communities
and
a
stronger
connection
between
residents
are
what
I
want
for
our
city.
This,
in
turn
will
help
San
Jose
become
a
certified
blue
zones
City
where
residents
live
well
into
their
100s
and
are
still
thriving
This
Heart
month.
We
are
recognizing
the
strong
need
for
Education
about
cardiovascular
disease
among
women.
I
I
This
year,
the
American
Heart
Association
has
an
urgent
goal
to
have
at
least
one
person
in
every
household
know
how
to
do
hands-only
CPR
in
the
event
of
a
cardiac
arrest.
It
is
a
life-scaping
saving,
skill
and
your
hands
could
be
the
beat
that
saves
the
life
of
a
loved
one
in
the
event
of
a
cardiac
arrest.
I
urge
you
to
learn
these
two
steps.
Today,
they're
really
simple,
call
9-1-1
and
then
begin
pressing
hard
on
the
person's
chest
to
the
rhythm
of
staying
alive.
I
Knowing
hands-only,
CPR
truly
does
save
lives.
Residents
can
go
to
cpr.heart.org
to
learn
more
about
CPR
and
find
a
class
near
you.
Thank
you
to
the
American
Heart
Association
for
joining
me
today,
and
for
all
that
you
do
to
inform,
educate
and
keep
residents
Hearts
healthy.
Now,
I'd
like
to
turn
it
over
to
Dio
Palencia,
to
say
a
few
words.
J
J
This
year,
heart
month,
is
focused
on
hands-only
CPR
and
encourages
everyone
to
learn
how
to
do
it
and
as
you
as
as
it
was
already
mentioned,
our
goal
is
to
have
at
least
one
person
in
every
house
to
know
how
to
perform
CPR
in
case
there's
an
emergency
and
and
I'm
just
gonna
say
it
again.
There's
two
basic
steps:
one
is
calling
9-1-1
and
the
other
one
starting
to
press
hard
on
the
chest
of
that
individual
that
the
heart
has
stopped
already,
as
we
saw
with
the
Buffalo
Bill
safety.
J
B
K
K
She
grew
up
in
a
household
affected
by
domestic
violence,
where
an
abusive
father
weaponized
her
mother's
undocumented
status,
to
make
her
feel
trapped
in
the
cycle
of
violence
inspired
by
her
mother's
strength.
In
the
face
in
the
face
of
such
awful
conditions,
B
became
a
social
activist
in
the
late
1960s,
aiming
to
bring
a
sorely
needed
Focus
to
the
needs
of
women
of
color
of
the
time
and
in
1971
bee
founded
the
woman's
Alliance
when
she
and
other
women
ran
programs
out
of
her
garage.
K
The
Women's
Alliance
known
today
as
next-door
solutions
to
domestic
violence
founded
the
first
bilingual
women's
shelter
in
the
country.
Today,
Nextdoor
provides
support
and
resources
to
3
000
survivors
every
year.
An
incredible
achievement
and
perhaps
B's
Legacy
Bee's
Legacy,
is
so
multifaceted
that
we
could
be
here
all
night.
K
Talking
about
her
B
has
been
a
tireless
advocate
for
the
Latino
community
in
San
Jose
founding
organizations
such
as
the
Chicano
Coalition
and
the
Silicon
Valley
Latino
Democratic
forum,
leading
movements
opposing
police
brutality
and
advocating
for
better
Mental
Health
Services
economic
opportunities
and
political
empowerment
for
Latinos
in
San
Jose.
To
this
end,
she
led
the
charge
for
the
current
10
District
Council
system.
We
have
today
ensuring
a
better
representation
of
all
the
people
in
San
Jose.
K
We
are
proud
to
stand
on
the
shoulders
of
great
people
like
me,
I'm
grateful
to
be
joined
by
B's
daughter,
Elizabeth
Pacheco,
be
sister,
Francis,
tanori,
business,
Susan,
Vasquez
and
B's
good
friend,
Pete
Carrillo
and
we're
also
President
also

Henderson
executive
director
for
next
door.
Solutions
to
domestic
violence,
I
turned
the
microphone
over
to
share
some
words.
L
L
On
behalf
of
my
familia
and
about
my
mom
excuse
me
B
Robinson
Mendez.
She
recently
passed
so
sorry
I'm
a
little
still
dealing
with
that.
She
learned
about
the
importance
of
being
involved
in
her
community
with
her
brother
Jose
Vazquez.
He
was
an
advocate
for
changing
the
desegregation
for
our
schools
in
Santa,
Clara
County,
and
that
is
my
cousin
Sue's
father
here
today,
as
well
as
the
days
have
progressed
during
this
difficult
time.
It
has
caused
me
to
pause
and
Ponder
on
so
many
things
about
her.
L
She,
as
we
all
know,
was
a
fierce
advocate
for
bounded
women
and
children.
She
risked
her
life
to
help
a
client
and
her
children
fleeing
Mexico
and
all
the
while
being
shot
at
I
believe
she
touched
people's
lives
in
many
ways
and
it
was
her
compassionate
love
of
helping
disadvantaged
persons
and
for
multiple
reasons.
L
L
L
B
M
M
Secondly,
we
received
direction
to
bring
two
Open
session
for
consideration
by
the
council
joining
an
amicus
brief,
that's
being
drafted
by
attorneys
for
the
city
of
Los
Angeles
and
the
County
of
Los
Angeles
in
the
Texas
versus
United
States
case
that's
pending
in
the
district
court
for
the
southern
district
of
Texas
relating
to
DACA.
Thank
you.
B
O
Hey
good
afternoon,
Council
good
to
be
here
with
you
in
person
again
congrats
on
a
start
to
a
good
New,
Year
I'm
here
on
behalf
of
catalyze
SV,
a
nonprofit
that
works
to
Envision
and
create
sustainable
Equitable
and
vibrant
places
for
people.
We've
been
very,
very
interested
in
the
future
of
the
Burbank
theater
and
council
member
Davis's
District.
It's
on
the
consent
agenda
today
and,
as
you
know,
we're
an
organization
that
supports
building
as
good
a
development
as
we
can
in
this
community,
and
we
don't
often
get
nervous
about
change.
O
But
the
Burbank
theater
is
a
truly
great
asset
in
San
Jose
and
we
would
hate
to
see
it
go
away.
So,
as
this
project
continues
to
go
forward,
we'd
ask
the
council
to
stay
engaged
in
its
future.
It
is
a
beautiful,
beautiful
place.
I
once
walked
into
the
inside
and
it
needs
some
love
and
it
needs
some
help.
But
it
has
a
lot
of
Promise
too,
and
we
just
in
San
Jose,
can't
turn
our
heads
to
historic
places,
because
we
just
don't
have
enough
of
them
in
this
town.
O
So
we
hope
that
you'll
stay
engaged
and
if
Cadillac
SSV
can
help
it
all
in
the
community
engagement
process
to
Marshall
community
support
for
the
future
of
this
development
and
maintain
some
variation
on
this
beautiful
site.
That
would
be
great.
We
know.
Pack
SJ
is
also
involved
in
this
and
as
identified
as
it
a
key
Historic
Site
in
the
city,
so
good
to
be
back
with
you
all.
Thank
you
for
your
time.
B
Q
Thank
you,
Paul
Soto
from
the
Horseshoe.
My
comments
are
restricted
to
the
minute
order
of
1
11
23..
Now
this
is
The
Shield
development
that
got
canceled
in
a
March
meeting
in
2020
and
the
reason
why
is
that
we
cannot
continually
institutionalize
racist,
neighborhoods
and
celebrate
them
because
of
the
beautiful
architecture.
This
does
something
to
the
mind
and
the
psychology
of
a
city
that,
while
yes,
this
is
nothing
but
a
racist
neighborhood
and
we
excluded
exclusively
blacks
and
Mexicans
from
living
there.
Q
Q
I
am
reflecting
back
to
you
what
it
is
that
you
really
and
truly
are
now,
when
you
look
at
the
image-
and
you
see
just
exactly
who
you
are
don't
blame
the
mirror,
do
not
blind
the
mirror
nor
criminalize
it,
but
that's
exactly
what
the
city
has
done.
It's
criminalized
the
mirrored
by
which
it
is
reflected
back
to
itself.
It's
very
image,
so
I'm
challenging
that
take
that
off
the
table,
because
all
you're
doing
is
you're
institutionalizing,
a
racist
neighborhood
that
was
predicated
upon
the
exclusion
of
blacks
and
Mexicans.
Thank
you.
C
D
R
D
R
Know
it's
my
hope
with
all
the
talk
of
all
the
all
the
city
staff
is
talking
about.
You
know
the
issues
of
a
crash
along
the
creeks
and
what
they
have
to
do
about
the
homeless
issues
and
crash
along
with
creeks.
Is
it
time
to
really
start
to
consider
how
to
invite
the
homeless
themselves
to
address
the
trash
along
the
creek
issues
themselves,
I
mean
I
know
you
guys
do
that?
How
do
we
make
it
make
it
a
more
open,
concerted,
Community
effort
that
you
know?
R
We
all
understand
that
you
know
people
living
by
The
Creeks
learn
to
not
dump
their
trash
into
the
Creeks.
How
how
does
that
happen?
There
is
a
way
to
do
that
where
we
all
can
take
concern
and
care,
and
it's
learning
how
to
do
that
as
an
open
Community
process.
That
I
think
can
help
a
lot
with
these
Trail
Patrol
issues
in
the
future
of
of
what
we're
talking
about
and
trying
to
keep
the
Creeks
clean.
R
R
How
do
we
all
learn
to
practice
that
better,
with
my
remaining
time,
you're
going
to
have
a
flag
raising
ceremony,
February
24th
about
the
Ukraine
area
boy,
it's
my
personal
feeling
that
not
just
generals,
but
our
best
Democrats
of
the
democratic
party
have
a
tendency
to
feel
at
this
time
that
we
go
all
out
in
an
effort
of
war
in
the
Ukraine
and
don't
give
Russia
a
break
at
all
and
I.
Think
that's
really
the
wrong
approach.
R
B
B
S
S
S
You
know
Urban
Island,
as
they
call
it,
surrounded
on
all
sides
by
the
city
of
San
Jose,
where
we
have
decisions
made
on
development
most
of
the
development
that
is
somewhere
in
it
in
the
cycle
will,
you
know,
be
decided
not
by
the
county
of
Santa
Clara
but
by
the
city
of
San
Jose
that
there's
some
significant
issues
there
with
you
know
how
residents
within
the
Burbank
Community
are
able
to
have
a
say
on
development
issues
going
forward
again,
there's
a
lot
of
positive
things
coming.
We
have
permit
Supportive
Housing
Development.
S
S
You
know
what
does
that
mean
for
the
residents
who
one
or
two
blocks
on
either
side
are
surrounded
by
the
city
of
San
Jose,
but
don't
have
access
to
elected
representation
within
the
city
of
San
Jose
run
into
issues
where
you
know
crime
moving
from
one
block
to
the
next
is
a
sheriff's
issue,
and
then
a
city
of
San
Jose
issue,
a
whole
host
of
challenges
that
are,
you
know,
pretty
unique
to
our.
You
know
particular
situation
of
being
a
very
small
Urban
Island
within
the
city
of
San
Jose.
S
You
know,
particularly
for
the
northern
part
of
the
district,
which
it's
my
understanding
under
state
law
could
actually
be
next
within
to
within
the
city
of
San
Jose,
without
actually
going
to
The,
Ballot
Box,
so
I
hope.
As
we
look
at
development
in
the
area.
We
also
consider
you
know
how
the
city
approaches
the
issues
of.
Q
A
I
D
Q
Q
These
arguments
that
are
riddled
with
fallacy
now
I'm
going
to
get
the
date
of
that
particular
meeting
and
I'm
going
to
submit
it,
because
what
they
were,
what
the
historical
landmarks
was
able
to
successfully
do
is
check
these
developers
that
are
coming
into
this
area
and
projecting
onto
the
area.
Oh
well,
this
this
is
oh
yeah.
We
can
just
knock
this
down
that
down.
Look
at
it,
it's
been
neglected.
Q
Now
the
reasons
why
we
have
these
pockets
and
these
issues
of
annexation
in
that
area
is
because
of
the
redlining
map
back
in
1939,
these
particular
Pockets.
These
particular
areas
were
not
annexed
in
the
only
one
that
was
primarily
focused
on
in
terms
of
annexation
was
Willow
Glen
and
eight
months
after
Willow
Glen
was
in
academics
into
the
city
of
San
Jose
via
the
red
lightning
map.
All
of
a
sudden,
we
get
this
map
eight
months
after
they
annexed,
so
is
that
coincidental
I
think
not
so
when
you're
having
these
land
consists.
C
Q
C
T
T
U
Sjc
has
humble
Origins.
It
was
born
from
the
simple
yet
powerful
desire
to
serve
the
people
of
San
Jose.
Over
time
we
grew
from
connecting
Bay
Area
locals
with
the
rest
of
California
to
giving
them
access
to
the
world,
as
our
connections
grew.
So
did
we
leading
us
to
become
America's
fastest
growing
major
airport,
but
like
for
many
in
our
industry,
the
world
was
changing.
We
knew
that
in
order
to
ensure
success,
it
was
important
to
look
at
what
was
going
on
around
us.
U
U
U
It
embodies
forward
momentum,
it
represents
the
flow
of
innovation,
it
even
looks
a
little
like
an
airplane,
we
loved
it.
So
we
showed
it
to
local
leaders,
airport
pros
and
everyday
people,
and
they
loved
it
too,
from
an
equity
lens
to
an
eye-catching
one,
but
that's
only
our
first
step,
we're
also
going
to
change
the
way
we
refer
to
ourselves,
to
something
memorable
to
something
that
highlights
our
location
to
something
that
pays
homage
to
Norman
y
mineta,
while
looking
to
the
Future
it's
our
way
of
honoring
his
Spirit
of
connectivity.
U
T
B
V
W
Foreign,
thank
you
so
much
good
afternoon,
mayor
and
Council.
My
name
is
Jim
Shannon
I'm,
the
city's
budget
director
joined
down
here
today
with
Bonnie
Duong,
our
assistant
budget,
director
of
Claudia
Chang
Deputy
budget
director
Celina
ubando,
our
financial
status
coordinator,
and
also
in
the
audience.
We
have
Bryce
ball.
W
Our
operating
budget
coordinator
and
Stuart
patri,
our
capital
budget
coordinator,
all
of
the
key
leadership
team
to
help
bring
the
document
that
you
have
before
you
today
and
that
we're
going
to
be
talking
about
also
a
huge
thank
you
to
the
budget
office
staff,
who
do
a
lot
of
hard
work
to
make.
This
document
happen,
as
well
as
the
department
Partners,
who
do
a
lot
of
work
behind
the
scenes.
So
the
adopted
budget
is
a
financial
plan,
but
predicated
on
the
best
information
available
at
the
time
it's
prepared,
but
with
any
budget.
W
The
changing
conditions
create
the
need
to
modify
the
original
plan
so
through
its
budget
policies.
The
city
council
has
designated
mid-year
as
the
appropriate
time
to
perform
a
comprehensive
assessment
of
the
current
Year's
budget
and
the
mid-year
budget
review
report
as
a
vehicle
for
consideration
of
any
necessary
budget
revisions
to
prepare
this
report.
W
The
the
budget
office
working
with
all
City
departments
analyze
the
status
of
the
city's
operating
Capital
budgets,
contained
in
over
135
different
funds
based
on
that
analysis
and
the
recent
receipt
of
several
new
grants
and
reimbursements
budget
adjustments
are
recommended
in
the
report
for
City
council's
consideration
today,
and
so
looking
at
from
sort
of
a
big
picture
perspective.
When
we
look
at
the
entire
City's
budget,
it
went
through
the
process
of
digging
in
and
figuring
out
what
was
going
to
be
in
the
mid-year
budget
report.
W
We
can
confidently
say
that
operating
Capital
funds
are
generally
performing.
As
expected,
we've
got
a
few
exceptions
here
and
there
which
we
talk
about
in
the
report,
but
generally
this
is
a
good
news
report.
Things
are
about
where
we
thought
they
would
be-
maybe
they're
a
little
bit
better
for
the
first
half
of
the
fiscal
year
and
as
I'll
talk
through
in
a
second
most
of
the
economic
indicators
have
been
strong
through
the
first
half
of
the
fiscal
year.
W
So
just
oh
I
always
go
too
fast.
Slow
down
come
on
baby
I
wanted
to
talk
about
a
couple
of
major
economic
indicators
just
to
step
through
I
can
get
us
to
go
back.
I,
don't
want
to
tip
my
hand
for
the
there
we
go.
We
as
I
said
when
you
look
at
the
actual
data.
The
data
looks
really
good,
especially
when
you
look
at
some
of
the
major
economic
in
indicators
that
we
have.
W
You
know
we
we
do
see
the
notices
in
the
media
and
the
uncertainty
related
to
the
layoffs
that
we've
been
been
seen.
That's
probably
something
we
need
to
keep
an
eye
on
in
the
future,
but
if
you
look
at
the
data
through
December,
it's
really
strong
when
you
look
at
employment
levels.
What
you
see
here
on
this
on
this
chart,
they're
the
highest
they've
ever
been
the
unemployment
rate
of
2.1
percent
is
the
lowest.
It's
ever
been
so
really
good,
strong
employment
figures,
which
is
really
good
news
for
the
city's
budget.
W
When
we
look
at
hotel
occupancy,
this
is
a
chart
that
shows
you
on
an
annual
year
how
the
previous
fiscal
years
have
compared
to
each
other,
and
so
the
Gold
Line
there
that
sort
of
stops
in
December
is
the
current
year
in
22-23,
and
you
can
see
how
that
compares
to
the
pandemic
years
of
of
recent
past.
So
we
are
definitely
better
than
we've
been
in
the
past
couple
of
years,
so
we're
trending
above
last
year's
levels,
although
still
below,
where
we
were
pre-pandemic
in
FY,
19
and
fi20.
W
I
can
say
that
year
to
date,
tot
revenues
transient
occupancy
tax
revenues
are
about
75
higher
than
they
were
this
time
last
year.
So
those
are
all
trending
in
the
right
direction,
which
is
good,
again
kind
of
a
wait
and
see
how
the
economy
May
shift
in
the
coming
months.
But
so
far
you
know
these
types
of
data
are
looking
really
really
good.
The
data
that
is
you
know,
certainly
on
the
more
negative
side,
is
on
the
real
estate,
and
this
probably
isn't
a
surprise
to
any
anybody.
W
But
I
do
want
to
point
it
out,
because
real
estate
is
really
important
to
Silicon
Valley
in
terms
of
the
city's
budget.
Also-
and
so
we
have
here,
the
blue
line
is
the
number
of
Property
Transfers
and
the
green
line
is
a
medium
single-family
home
price
and
it's
the
percent
change
year
over
year.
So
what
you're,
seeing
each
each
dot
on
that
line
theoretically
represents
how
much
it
grew
or
shrank
from
the
prior
year,
because
real
estate
is
very
seasonal.
W
So
we
want
to
come
pair
on
a
year-over-year
basis,
and
you
know
we
had
a
huge
Spike
up
in
Property
Transfers.
You
know
during
the
pan
the
pandemic.
That
was
to
be
ex
expect-
or
you
know-
that's
happened
in
in
the
past
and
we
know
those
have
been
trending
down
and
but
also
was
holding
for
a
while
was
the
actual
price.
So
price
was
holding
pretty
steady,
but
we
have
now
seen,
as
you
can
see,
toward
the
end
of
that
graph
as
price
is
coming
down
as
well.
W
So
that
does
have
a
couple
of
negative
in
indicators
for
a
couple
of
our
Revenue
sources,
one
of
them
being
the
construction
and
conveyance
tax
we'll
touch
on
in
a
second
and
also
our
measure.
E-Taxes,
we
had
assumed
our
measure.
E-Taxes
would
be
lower
this
year
they
were
110
million
dollars
last
year,
their
budget
at
65
million
dollars
this
year.
We're
so
far
on
Pace
for
that.
But
we'll
need
to
think
about
that
in
the
upcoming
budget
cycle,
and
so
just
an
overall
per
perspective.
W
I
just
want
again
want
to
say
that
you
know
Revenue
gross
is,
is
strong.
We're
looking
that
revenues
are
about
are
on
Pace,
to
exceed
the
current
budget
estimate
by
about
30
million
dollars
or
about
two
two
percent
of
the
general
fund,
and
we
expect
expansion,
Savings
of
at
least
15
million
dollars
by
the
end
of
of
June,
and
that's
important,
because
we
as
part
of
our
budget
development
process.
W
We
always
assume
we're
going
to
have
some
money
left
over
at
the
end
of
the
year
to
be
able
to
carry
forward
as
a
funding
source
for
the
following
year.
And
so
we
do
have
a
number
of
limited
adjustments
that
Bonnie's
going
to
step
through
in
a
second,
but
at
the
end
of
the
day,
we'll
have
9.4
million
dollars
sort
of
remaining
in
the
in
the
general
fund.
That
will
help
us
establish
our
2223
ending
fund
balance
Reserve.
That
Reserve
has
to
get
to
at
least
50.
W
X
We,
the
expenditures,
will
be
reduced
approximately
by
60
million
dollars,
primarily
through
the
required
technical
rebalancing
actions,
category
which
I'll
discuss
in
the
next
few
slides.
The
other
significant
adjustment
categories
include
urgent

Next
are
the
required
technical

is
our
largest
category.
Some
of
the
largest
adjustments
include
10
million
dollars
increase
in
our
property

revenue
estimate.
This
just
reflects
updated
information
provided
by
the
county
and
then
an
increase
to
our
utility

revenue
by
seven
million
dollars
to
reflect
higher

anticipated
current
year,
receipts

increase
in

revenue
for

use
of

and
property
to
reflect
higher
than
anticipated
interest
earnings
in

X
Next
series
of
actions
include
realigning
revenue
and
expenditures
associated
with
our
issuance
of
our
Tax
and
Revenue
anticipation,
notes,
which
is
also
known
as
the
trans
debt
in
June
20
in
June
21
2022,
the
city
council
authorized
a
trans
issuance
of
up
to
360
million
dollars
to
assist
with
the
prepayment
of
Tier
1
retirement
costs.
However,
based
on
the
fine
on
finance
department's
final
analysis
of
interest
rates
and
available
cash
balances,
only
275
million
dollars
was
issued.
X
Actions
are
included
to
both
reduce
the
trans
revenue
and
the
principal
Debt
Service
by
85
million
dollars,
while
the
amount
of

the

which
is
up
5.2
million
dollars
from
our
June
2022
memo
that
was
approved
by

much
higher
than
the
early
estimate
that
we
had
used
in

X
Consistent
with
this
approach,
the
additional

is
partially
offset
by
a
transfer
of
1.5

The
remaining
4.5

Another
adjustment
included

the
city's
response
to
the
covid-19
pandemic,
which
began
in
19
2019-2020
through
2022
2023.,
the
potential
for
non-reimbursable
costs
was
previously
anticipated
and
we
had
set
aside
five
million
dollars
in
the
general
fund
in
a
reserve
for
FEMA
non-reimbursable
expenses.
X
So
this
action
sets
aside
a
portion
of
the
ending
fund
balance
that
exists
that
is
expected
to
be
generated
in
2223..
Other
actions
will
be
be
brought
forward
as
part
of
our
year-end
cleanup
process
to
set
aside
any
additional
revenues,
expenditure,
savings
and
liquidation
of
carryover
encumbrances.
W
Bonnie,
so
the
rest
of
this
lovely
document
about
several
other
other
funds
and
transactions,
not
just
the
general
fund,
but
we're
just
going
to
touch
on
a
couple
more
right
at
at
the
moment
and
then
we'll
wrap
up
our
presentation.
So
speaking
of
the
air
airport,
they
are
also
in
still
in
a
recovery
mode
when
compared
to
the
pandemic,
and
things
are
looking
better.
W
Revenue
estimate.
The
lower
dashed
line
was
the
budget
expenditure,
s
estimate,
and
so
you
can
see
that
we've
got
capacity
there
to
be
able
to
recover
the
revenue
necessary
to
be
able
to
build
our
reserves
up.
So,
even
though,
when
you
see
the
solid
lines
come
in
as
the
actuals
through
December,
even
though
that
didn't
go
quite
according
to
plan,
we
were
still
in
a
position
to
be
able
to
still
build
our
Reserve.
W
One
of
them
is,
you
may
know,
as
the
CNC
tax
or
the
construction
and
conveyance
tax.
That's
the
gold
bars
that
you
see
there
because
of
the
declining
real
estate
in
in
environment.
That's
one
that
we
do
have
to
take
a
negative
Revenue
adjustment
on
so
taking
that
revenue
from
50
to
40.
five
million
million
dollars,
which
will
have
some
collateral
impacts
to
the
various
Capital
programs
that
are
funded
by
that
Parks
Library
Public
Safety.
To
a
minor
extent.
W
We
had
already
anticipated
a
pretty
significant
drop
from
where
we
were
last
year,
but
but
it's
falling
down
a
little
bit
further
than
where
we
had
hoped
so
need
to
keep
an
eye
on
that
one
on
a
going
forward
basis
and
looking
at
our
building
and
structure
and
construction
excise
tax
funds,
which
is
levied
on
private
development
act
activity
doing
in
an
okay
spot,
maybe
not
as
great
as
we
would
like.
The
building
and
structure
is
holding
steady.
The
construction
excise
needs
to
be
reduced
from
16
million
to
14
million.
W
Both
of
those
are
key
elements
for
our
traffic
Capital
program
and
especially,
it
is
useful
to
help
match
for
all
the
the
major
transportation
grants
that
we
go
after
so
we
need
to
keep
an
eye
on
those
Revenue
items
as
well
as
we
go
forward
into
the
proposed
capital
budget
development
process
and
then
then
just
looking
forward.
So
we
we
have.
You
know,
as
we
were
talking
earlier
today,
just
at
the
beginning,
so
the
kind
of
mid-year
almost
marks
the
start
of
the
next
year's
budget
too.
W
Of
course,
we
have
the
mayor's
March
budget
message,
which
provides
the
the
policy
and
priority
direction
to
the
city
managers
to
develop
the
proposed
budgets,
which
will
be
released
at
the
end
of
April,
beginning
of
May,
and
then
we
have
our
various
public
hearings
throughout
May
and
June,
culminating
with
the
mayor's
June
budget
message,
approval
which
gets
us
our
new
budget,
and
with
that
we
will
stop
here
again
thanks
to
the
folks
on
the
screen
here
and
all
the
folks
in
my
office
and
departments
who
helped
put
the
report
together.
Thank
you.
B
Great
thank
you
for
the
detailed
report
and
I
know.
This
is
just
the
beginning
of
what
will
be
a
very
busy
budget
season,
but
we
as
always
really
appreciate
the
work
that
your
team
does.
Jim
I'm,
also
glad
to
hear
that,
despite
some
widely
publicized
layoffs
in
the
headlines
recently
that
we're
still
seeing
some
positive,
Trends
and
and
the
unemployment
is
staying
quite
low
locally,
so
glad
to
hear
that
we're
cautiously
optimistic
but
I
want
to
be
really
fiscally
prudent.
D
R
Blair
Beekman,
with
this
item
I
wanted
to
try
to
discuss.
You
know
from
the
previous
study
session.
You
know
there
was
good
talk
about.
You
know,
continuity
and
good
practices
and
I
just
wanted
to
mention
the
importance
of
a
continuity
with
these
mid-year
budget
issues.
You
know
we
have
a
new
new
Administration
and
Council
persons
to
really
rely
on
these
mid-year
budgets
and
and
to
look
to
City
staff
and
what
they've
been
practicing
in
the
past.
R
It's
important
and
helpful,
and
and
that's
the
way
we
can
grow
as
we're
all
considering
what
can
be
a
new
group
of
people
involved
in
government
at
this
time.
Thank
you.
It's
the
I'm
getting
used
to
the
concept.
It
is
our
democracy
in
action,
so
from
from
good
new
decisions
that
can
arise
and
take
place.
That
usually
always
happens
by
studying
our
past
and
our
good
history
of
things.
R
So
just
a
good
look
in
what
city
government
they're
really
developing
some
interesting
ideas
like
with
the
future
of
tech,
openness,
they're,
really
involved
with
wanting
it
to
be
a
more
open,
accountable
process.
There's
other
items
that
will
surprise
you
that
that
city
government
staff
is
really
developing.
Well,
how
thing
is
another
one
that
a
real
humanistic
effort,
the
efforts
of
Human
Rights
and
civil
rights
and
civil
protections
and
worker
rights
wage
theft
issues.
C
Q
That's
what
they
said,
but
then
somewhere
in
the
fine
print
said
well,
no,
this
money
is
actually
going
to
go
towards
the
general
fund,
and
so
what
I'd
like
to
propose
is
that
an
amendment
be
made
to
measure
e,
because
from
from
what
the
report
said
from
what
Mr
Shannon
said,
it's
generated
160
million
dollars
over
the
past
couple
years.
Where
does
that
money
go?
You
know
in
in
the
public
was
basically
Khan
into
voting
for
it,
because
the
public
being
conscientious
thought
that
they
would
be.
You
know,
okay,
yeah.
Q
This
is
good
we're
going
to
vote
for
this.
Let's,
let's
help
the
homeless
people.
However,
that's
how
it
was.
It
was
a
cotton
game.
Secondly,
and
I'd
really
like
some
consideration
on
this,
we
need
to
find
a
new
funding
stream,
a
bond
measure
on
all
the
identifiable
homes
in
the
red
line
districts
and
that
we
tax
that
at
a
percentage
point
over
one
hundred
thousand
dollars
in
equity
per
year,
and
because
we
can
no
longer
as
a
society,
allow
these
Redline
districts
to
profit
from
racism.
Q
That's
what
they've
been
doing,
and
so
what
my
proposal
is
is
to
creating
a
bond
measure
that
over
a
hundred
thousand
dollars
in
equity
per
year,
a
percentage
of
that
is
taxed
and
then
goes
directly
into
a
fund
to
amend
the
historical
injustices
economically
for
for
rasa
for
Chicanos.
For
the
people
that.
C
Y
Y
I
wanted
to
bring
awareness
to
some
of
the
new
council
members
and
highlight
the
CNC
money
shortfall
and
how
that's
going
to
affect
you
so
much
in
your
council
districts.
It
will
fall
to
this
Council
to
begin
thinking
about
how
to
solve
the
Capital
Money
problem
for
Parks
there's
about
a
billion
dollar
backload
of
infrastructure
projects
and
the
funding
system
with
CNC
and
with
development
fees
are
far
insufficient
and
don't
doesn't
serve
the
whole
city.
Creative
Solutions
are
needed
and
it's
going
to
fall
to
you
folks
to
begin
thinking.
Y
The
shelter
is
in
a
rebuild
year
after
a
catastrophic
years
with
covid
and
I
look
forward
to
seeing
the
improvements
and,
if
you're
interested
in
a
dog
I
have
a
foster
dog
all
ready
for
you,
but
there
are
lots
of
others
at
the
shelter
too
and
I
hope
that
you'll
be
sharing
news
about
that
in
your
newsletters.
Thank
you.
Z
Hi,
honestly,
there's
nothing
I'm
going
I'm
going
to
be
able
to
add
to
this
that
Gene
hasn't
already
covered
so
eloquently,
except
that
Arnie
is
absolutely
wonderful.
But
I
would
also
like
to
thank
the
mayor
and
city
council
members
for
their
ongoing
support
of
animal
services.
We
know
that
it
has
not
been
an
easy
time
for
animal
services
and
appreciate
the
recognition
and
support
that's
being
given
to
them.
N
Wow
I
didn't
think
I'd
be
up
first
Jim.
Thank
you
for
your
presentation.
The
mid-year
report,
knowing
that
we
have
some
reserves,
is
good,
but
I'm
cautiously
optimistic
that
that
may
or
may
not
last,
depending
on
how
the
economy
weathers
through
all
of
this,
but
I
have
a
question
for
you
regarding
the
whole
mobile
home
parks.
I
know
that
we've
we
got
an
email
from
you
and
thank
you
for
that.
But
I
know
our
public
is
very
interested
in
the
funding
of
converting
those
the
zoning
on
the
mobile
home
parks.
W
W
N
W
N
Very
good,
that's
the
only
question.
Well,
the
only
question
I
had
but
a
comment
about
the
real
estate
taxes,
the
measure
e
taxes,
but
also
the
property
taxes
that
we're
going
to
be
generating
as
property,
tax
property
values,
drop,
there's
a
potential
in
decrease
in
property
taxes,
and
while
that's
not
a
part
of
this
budget,
I'm
sure
you'll.
Take
that
into
consideration.
Do
you
have
any
idea
where
that
number
will
be
or
you're?
Not
it's
too
early
to
ask.
W
We're
going
to
finalize
that
for
this
23
20,
so
yeah,
so
your
point
is
a
good
one,
so
how
the
real
estate
market
closed
the
valuations
closed,
as
of
December
2022,
is
going
to
inform
the
revenue
we
received
in
23.24.,
and
so
you
know
we're
probably
going
to
be
pretty
decent
from
the
2324
standpoint.
It'll
be
what
24-25
gets
us
and
that's
that's
kind
of
the
common
theme
is
that
you
know.
If
we
head
into
a
recession,
the
tougher
year
will
probably
not
be
23
24,
but
24
20
25..
That.
AA
AA
Presumably
we
can't
spend
all
the
CNC
money
over
a
short
period
of
time
it's
banked
and
we
have
a
longer
period
of
time.
So,
while
I
see
that
it's
down
this
year-
and
you
talked
about
being
cautious
and
careful-
you
know
how
are
we
spreading
that
out
and
will
this
really
be
something
that's
a
big
effect
on
our
future
work
that
we
fund
with
CNC
or
do
we
think
that
we
can
weather
that
yeah.
W
Let
me
let
me
give
it
a
shot
and
if
everybody
wants
to
to
fill
in
on
the
department
side,
they
certainly
can
so.
Last
year
we
had,
we
had
received
about
65
million
I
think
in
CNC
overall
taxes
which
was
sort
of
a
record
year,
and
so
when
we
started
the
budget
for
22-23,
we
knew
we
weren't
going
to
be
at
that
level,
and
so
we
started
with
this
50
million
dollar
projection.
W
You
know
now
it's
taking
budget
actions
today
to
recommend
taking
that
down
to
45.
it
may
Trend
lower
than
that
really
so,
depending
on
sort
of
how
things
things
go.
My
sense
is
the
impact
is
not
going
to
be
immediate
in
the
current
upcoming
fiscal
year,
but
as
you
spread
that
out
across
the
overall
five-year
CIP
Horizon,
it
just
sort
of
lowers
the
level
of
investment
that
we
can
do
sort
of
broadly
I.
W
Right,
so
all
that
extra
money
I
think
what
our
initial
budget
was
for
22.
yeah.
So
it
was
50..
We
started
21
22
with
50
million
and
we
ended
with
65
and
so
that
additional
fund
balance
effectively
came
in
sort
of
helped
buffer.
What
this
year
is
otherwise
going
to
going
to
be
so
that
that
excess
that
we
had
last
year
was
not
anticipated,
which
was
I
guess
when
you
think
about
it,
is
greater
than
the
the
lesser
amount
of
Revenue
we're
going
to
receive
this
year
right.
AA
O
AA
W
AA
Obviously,
it's
not
something
we're
going
to
find
out
of
the
general
fund,
but
it's
good
to
see
what
we
need
to
invest
and
I
want
to
remind
the
council
that
Alviso
library
is
the
only
library
in
the
city
that
has
not
been
that
was
not
renovated
or
rebuilt
once
the
last
one
is
done.
Last
couple
are
done
in
the
next
couple
years:
it's
the
only
library
that
hasn't
had
the
benefit
of
of
bond
work
to
upgrade
the
interior
and
the
customer
experience.
AA
It's
also
the
library
with
the
largest
service
area
and
it's
the
smallest
library.
In
the
system.
We
have
no
libraries
in
North,
San,
Jose,
there's
tens
of
thousands
of
residents
and
really
the
closest
library
is
the
Alviso
Branch,
so
I
hope
we
will
prioritize
the
work
on
the
Alviso
branch
and
I'm
happy
that
you
know.
AB
Just
I
I
want
to
give
a
shout
out
not
only
to
The
Advocates
but
the
volunteers,
but
our
workers
who
are
working
at
the
Animal
Care
Center
I,
know
with
you
know,
with
the
with
all
the
concerns
that
are
happening.
They
they
are
still
they're
still
coming
in,
and
working
and
and
providing
service
to
to
to
our
doggies
and
our
cats
and
whatever
other
little
animals
may
be
at
the
Animal
Care
Center
and
I.
Just
I
wanted
to
give
a
quick
shout
out
to
the
the
team
there
I
know.
AB
Last
week
there
was
a
concern
about
a
a
dog
named
Lobo
and
he
ended
up
being
adopted
into
a
foster
care
program,
and
so
we
didn't
have
to
put
down
that
that
that
doggy,
but
for
those
folks
who
have
concern
about
our
Animal
Care
service
center
it.
It
clearly
shows
here
that
we
are
going
to
be
investing
in
our
Animal
Care
Center
and
that,
hopefully,
that
we
can
continue
to
to
make
sure
that
those
concerns
go
away.
AB
So
thank
you
so
much
for
to
our
city
manager
and
to
and
to
Jim
and
all
the
other
folks
who,
who
found
some
monies
to
invest
in
in
this
Animal
Care
Center.
So
with
with
that
I
I
do
have
a
couple
questions.
I
I
know
that
we
continue
to
talk
about
vacancies
here
in
the
city
of
San,
Jose
and
and
again,
thank
you
so
much
for
for
for
focusing
on
on
those
three
departments
that
have
high
vacancies.
AB
T
So
maybe
I'll
take
a
crack
at
that.
Thank
you
very
much
for
the
question
super
an
important
topic.
We
are
doing
a
variety
of
pipeline
work
for
the
city
to
bring
in
new
applicants,
also
opening
an
opera
opportunities
for
people
by
looking
at
our
minimum
qualifications
like
do
you
need
a
college
degree,
or
do
you
not
need
one
and
can
it
be
trained?
There
is
a
major
report
going
to
his
physicist
Thursday.
T
That's
really
a
very,
very
thorough
account
of
all
the
activities
on
our
recruitment,
hiring
and
retention
work,
and
it's
building
upon
the
manager's
budget
addendum
that
was
issued
last
May
on
the
beginning
of
our
work
as
we're
we're
very
intently
and
relentlessly
focused
on
filling
our
vacancies.
So
Jennifer
I,
don't
know
if
you
want
to
come
down
just
to
give
a
very,
very
brief
overview
of
some
of
that
pipeline.
Work
that
we're
doing,
and
and
and
also
what
we
just
did
with
our
technical.
Our
Career
Technical
Center
that
we
just
visited
with.
AC
Hi
Jennifer
schembry,
director
of
employee
relations
and
Human
Resources.
As
a
city
manager
indicated,
we
have
a
report
going
to
pispizz
on
Thursday
and
there's
pages
and
pages
of
our
pipeline
activity.
So
I'll
try
to
be
brief
and
just
give
a
couple
of
examples.
We
have
a
really
good
partnership
with
San
Jose
State
right
now.
AC
What
is
beneficial
to
to
being
a
city
of
San
Jose
employ,
and
it's
in
Partnership
the
the
president's
probably
going
to
come
over
here
and
speak
as
well
and
we'll
have
departments
there
representing
various
city
services
to
where
students
can
ask
questions
and
things
like
that.
We
are
participating
in
a
career
fair
on
Friday,
with
the
silicon
and
I
always
get
this
wrong.
Scts
vcte
Silicon,
Valley,
Career,
Technical
education,
also
known
as
Metro
Ed,
is
another
term
for
them.
AC
We
did
visit
them
actually
recently
with
the
city
manager
and
representatives
from
City
manager's
office
to
try
to
develop
a
partnership
with
them,
so
we
are
participating
in
their
career,
fair
on
Friday.
We
have
a
fellowship
programs
throughout
the
city,
so
we
do
fellowships.
We
have
an
internship
program,
that's
another
really
good
pipeline
work
and
we're
also
hoping
to
expand
that
pipeline
work.
Beyond,
San,
Jose
State,
but
we're
focusing
there
first
and
then
we'll
get
other
educational
institutions
involved.
So
those
are
just
some
of
the
highlights.
F
Yeah,
just
a
quick
question:
Jim
can
you?
Can
you
remind
me
where
we've
stats
I
think
it
was
500,
000
or
so
related
to
the
police
substation?
Does
that
ring
a
bell
and
if
it
doesn't,
we
could
talk
offline,
but
I
just
didn't
know
if
my
recollection,
as
to
the
amount
or
even
just
the
stashing
away
of
the
money.
W
W
Now
that
we
have
measure
T
going
forward,
part
of
the
plan
for
measure
T
is
to
create
the
new
police
training
Center
correct,
which
once
that
would
be
complete,
then
the
training
that
happens
currently
at
the
substation
will
be
moved
out
and
that
substation
could
be
fully
activated.
That
full
activation
is
actually
part,
because
Council
made
that
a
overall
approval
of
that
plan.
That
activation
is
part
of
our
base
budget
assumptions.
So
we
don't
need
that
500
000
anymore.
That's
that's
money.
W
We
have
to
come
up
with
as
part
of
our
sort
of
built-in
forecast
to
be
able
to
activate
that
facility.
We
will
have
some,
probably
one
time,
sort
of
a
little
bit
of
one-time
cost
there,
but
that's
so
there's
that
money
set
aside
for
that,
but
that's
Council
direction
to
make
that
happen.
So
that'll
be
part
of
our
budget
on
a
going
forward
basis.
All.
F
Right
so
when,
when
the
build
out
of
the
police
training
facility
happens,
we
open
up-
let's
just
I'm,
just
it's
my
words
right.
We
open
up
the
police
substation
to
to
some
extent
we
would
need
you
all
would
need
to
go,
find
the
money
to
make
some
of
that
happen.
It's
already
built
into
the
plan.
If
you
will
right.
W
B
Thanks,
council
member
I,
just
a
few
questions,
I'm
going
to
actually
ask
them,
they
may
be
somewhat
related,
so
I'm
just
going
to
ask
all
three,
and
then
you
guys
can
figure
out
how
you
want
to
answer
them.
The
first
is
I
I
referenced
the
highly
publicized
layoffs
concentrated.
It
seems
in
some
of
our
larger
Tech
employers
and
yet
we're
seeing
an
extremely
low
unemployment
rate
I
think
in
December
it
was
2.1,
which
is
fantastic,
curious.
How
just
for
our
context?
Why?
How
both
can
be
true
and
how
you
might
reconcile
those
just?
B
So
we
have
more
context
on
what
the
employment
picture
looks
like
in
our
city.
Second,
is
looking
at
the
second
half
of
this
fiscal
year.
Where
do
you
think
there's
the
greatest
risk
of
fluctuation
and
what?
What
are
the
risks
that
we
face
in
terms
of
revenues?
What
what
do
you
expect
to
be
the
place
where
we
might
see
the
greatest
Delta
I
think
you
sort
of
referenced
that
earlier
and
then
finally,
the
reserve
amount
of
9.4
million?
W
You
great
so
I'll
just
take
those
in
order
yeah
so
start
trying
to
reconcile
the
actual
data
that
we
received
on
employment
figures
through
December,
with
the
layoff
notices
that
we've
seen
out
there
so
I
think
you
know
we
will
probably
start
to
see
some
of
that
in
the
coming
months,
probably
starting
with
the
March
reporting
month.
We
might
start
to
see
some
of
those
come
through.
AD
We
will
see
some
sort
of
less
good
news,
but
I
I
we're
not
hearing
from
any
of
the
economists
or
Consultants
we
talk
about
that
will
be
significant,
but
we
will
receive
information
that
more
ties
to
what
you're
hearing
in
the
news,
the
second
week
of
March
will
be
January
and
then
at
the
end
of
March,
we'll
receive
February,
so
that
will
tie
back
to
what
we're
more
hearing.
So
in
the
next
four
to
six
weeks,
we
should
get
updated
information
and.
W
I
think
the
additional
color
there
would
be.
You
know
some
of
those
folks
may
get
other
jobs,
and
so
they
might
not
show
up
there.
Also,
because
there
are
some
of
the
main
headline
Tech
employers
are
laying
off,
but
other
folks
are
hiring
in
the
tech
in
Industry
itself.
The
other
thing
is,
if
they're
getting
a
severance,
sometimes
they
don't
show
up
on
the
on
the
the
data
for
quite
a
while
Beyond
when
they
actually
receive
the
notice.
So
that's
another
thing
that
we
have
to
it
may
take
even
of
a
more
delayed
response.
W
What
we
anticipated
in
terms
of
the
slowing
of
Revenue
in
the
second
half
of
the
fiscal
year,
we'd
always
assume
that
sales
tax
would
be
sort
of
stronger
in
the
first
half
of
the
fiscal
year
and
weaker
in
the
second
half.
And
so
that's
that
will
be
the
main
Revenue
indicator
that
we'll
be
keeping
an
eye
on
to
see
how
you
know
our
Christmas
quarter
performed
just
as
October
November
December.
We
get
that
information
next
week.
W
Actually
so
and
then
we'll
see
how
January
February
March
did
we
get
that
I
think
in
May
right
so
we'll
start
seeing
that
toward
the
end
of
this
fiscal
year
you
know
tot
is
another
one
that
sort
of
our
transient
occupancy
tax
is
pretty
sensitive
too.
So
that's
sort
of
an
early
in
indicator
for
that.
If
that
softens,
you
know
right
now,
it's
pretty
decent,
but
that
starts
to
get
weaker.
W
We
always
assume
that
we're
going
to
have
we're
going
to
be
wrong
in
the
budget.
Somehow
some
some
way
either
revenue
is
going
to
come.
A
little
bit
higher
or
expenditures
will
come
in
a
little
bit
lower
and
if
actually,
if
we,
if
we
budget
perfectly,
we
would
actually
be
wrong
because
our
forecasts
assume
that
we're
going
to
be
wrong
to
some
small
extent.
And
so
we
assume
that
we
we
need
at
least
30
million
dollars
of
of
savings
from
a
combination
of
either
actual
savings
or
excess
Revenue.
B
Great,
thank
you.
That's
really
helpful.
I
appreciate
all
that
extra
context
and
once
again,
I
want
to
thank
you,
Jim
and
the
whole
team
for
the
work
that
you
guys.
Do
we
really
appreciate
the
the
mid-year
update
it
helps
us
get
a
sense
of
where
we're
where
we're
trending,
as
we
head
into
our
budget
conversations
over
the
coming
months.
I
don't
see
another
hands
and
we
do
have
emotions
so
I
think
we
are
ready
to
vote.
C
C
Ahead
start
with
the
in-person
speakers,
Neil,
Park,
McClintock
or
mcclintic,
with
working
Partnerships,
Spencer,
Eric
Jimenez,
and
to
gender.
If
you
could
make
your
way
down
to
the
podium
first
person
of
the
podium.
Just
let
me
know
your
name
and
begin
speaking
again:
that's
Neil,
Spencer,
Eric
and
to
gender
go.
AE
Ahead,
thank
you
hello.
Good
afternoon,
mayor
and
city
council.
My
name
is
Neil
and
I'm,
with
working
Partnerships
USA
here
to
stand
in
solidarity
with
the
security
officers
who
Patrol
the
San
Jose
Airport,
the
Department
of
Transportation,
the
water
pollution
plant,
as
well
as
many
public
buildings
in
San
Jose.
After
tireless
efforts
in
organizing
these
workers
were
able
to
preserve
their
Union
representation,
ensuring
the
contractor
agreed
to
sign
on
to
their
Collective
borrowing
agreement.
AE
We
want
to
thank
the
members
of
council
who
stood
with
these
security
officers
to
protect
union
jobs
in
San
Jose,
especially
council
members,
Peter
Ortiz
and
council
member
Omar
Torres,
who
led
the
effort
without
their
leadership.
This
could
have
ended
differently
and
workers
could
have
lost
crucial
benefits
like
affordable
insurance,
guaranteed
raises
and
job
security.
AE
The
Coalition
looks
forward
to
working
with
the
city
council
to
design
a
wage
theft
policy
revision
which
will
be
on
the
agenda
next
month
to
include
a
requirement
that
janitor
and
security
guard
contracts
be
awarded
to
contractors
with
a
CBA
choosing.
Union
contractors
offers
workers
not
only
the
best
protections
but
also
guarantees
their
guarantees,
Fair
wages,
job
security,
as
well
as
access
to
crucial
health,
insurance
and
retirement
benefits.
Thank
you.
So
much
for
your
time.
C
AF
Great
good
afternoon,
my
name
is
Eric
Jimenez
and
I've
been
working
as
a
security
officer
for
the
city
of
San
Jose
for
nearly
six
years.
Some
of
you
probably
recognized
me
as
I
am
on
the
team
that
patrols
the
parking
lots
near
City,
Hall
I
fought
to
keep
my
union
because
I
believe
security
jobs
can
and
should
be
good
jobs,
not
just
stepping
stones.
AF
Hard
turn
over,
isn't
good
for
officers
like
me
and
isn't
good
for
our
city,
but
people
won't
stay
long
term
in
a
job
that
doesn't
offer
us
the
benefits
we
need
for
ourselves
and
our
families
with
the
union.
We
know
that
our
jobs
are
secure
and
that
we
have
the
means
to
continue
to
improve
our
health
insurance,
our
work
conditions
and
our
retirement
benefits
in
2020
I
dropped.
AF
My
employer
employer
Insurance
because
of
the
offerings
being
too
expensive
and
not
worth
it
that
same
year,
I
was
in
a
car
accident
and
the
resulting
hospital
bills
left
me
with
ten
thousand
dollars
of
debt.
I
had
to
pull
16
to
20
hour
days
for
an
entire
month
to
pay
it
off.
Having
a
union
means,
we
don't
have
to
choose
between
Insurance
costs
that
make
it
hard
to
make
ends
meet
and
the
risk
of
huge,
unexpected
expenses
that
leave
us
scrambling
to
survive.
AF
I
want
to
thank
you,
those
council
members
who
stood
with
us,
especially
council
members,
Ortiz
and
Taurus.
Without
your
support,
this
would
have
gone
differently
now
that
we've
kept
our
union.
We
need
to
make
sure
that
other
workers
don't
end
up
in
the
situation.
We
need
to
revise
the
wage
theft
policy
so
that
it
lives
up
to
its
intention
of
protecting
workers,
otherwise
more
workers,
like
the
janitors
who
clean
this
building,
we're
in
now,
will
be
at
risk
of
losing
their
Union.
Just
like
I
was
thank
you.
AG
Good
afternoon,
mayor
and
city
council
I'll
be
speaking
on
behalf
of
Spencer.
My
name
is
Robert
sargassan
I'm,
a
security
officer
with
Allied
Universal
at
the
Sunnyvale
site,
meta
and
I'm
also
part
of
the
United
service
workers.
West
SEIU
I've
been
working
security
for
approximately
five
years
now,
currently,
two
years
at
the
Sunnyvale
meta
site
and
I
just
wanted
to.
Let
you
know
why
I
believe
that
the
union
is
important
for
us.
It
provides
us
a
backbone.
When
you
know
we
don't
have
anybody
to
speak
with.
AG
They
offer
us
good
benefits,
PTO
and
holiday,
pay,
which
you
know
on
the
top
on
top
of
working
as
an
officer
patrolling
every
single
day.
I
have
time
to
spend
with
my
family
and
those
P2
hours
really
do.
Allow
me
to
do
that
to
spend
more
time
with
my
family
on
top
of
working,
and
you
know
protecting
the
area.
AH
AI
This
could
be
a
really
great
opportunity
for
the
city
to
help
out,
with
a
lot
of
the
problems
that
it's
facing,
since,
by
providing
more
training
to
these
security
officers,
they'll
be
better
equipped
and
with
them
being
better
equipped,
people
will
feel
safer
to
come
here,
including
businesses,
tourists
people
a
lot
of
those
different
things
that
would
help
to
bring
a
lot
more
traffic
to
our
area
and,
additionally,
that
would
also
help
to
increase
our
tax
revenue.
Since
there
would
be
more
sales
tax,
there
would
be
more
income
tax.
AI
There
would
be
more
property
tax,
the
whole
nine
yards.
So
it's
really
important
that
we
do
carefully
choose
how
we
do
have
this
contract
and
this
negotiation
settled
and
there's
a
bunch
of
different
ways
for
us
to
easily
potentially
like
alleviate
a
lot
of
the
costs
associated.
Since
a
lot
of
companies
have
a
lot
of
Arbitrage
to
deal
with,
including
our
local
businesses
and
just
like,
with
City
Hall
refusing
or
deciding
not
to
implement
a
cafeteria
to
help
increase
the
economic
activity
and
the
surrounding
areas.
AI
Since
a
lot
of
these
security
guards
are
going
to
be
stationed
in
areas
surrounding
the
local
community,
it
would
probably
be
a
good
idea
to
think
about
the
opportunity
of
investing
in
a
potential
subsidy
type
system
or
just
potentially
giving
some
sort
of
like
break
or
incentive
to
a
lot
of
the
local
businesses
in
the
area
to
cater
towards
these
security
guard
forces.
Since
it
would
help
in
general.
AI
It
also
boost
morale,
make
people
more
likely
to
invest
in
it,
and
it
also
would
have
the
benefit
of
potentially
like
going
over
and
spilling
over
into
other
aspects.
Since
a
lot
of
other
students
could
get
interviews
or
get
potential
jobs
from
the
increased
economic
activity,
and
it
just
would
help
to
secure
San
Jose's
economic
interest
by
having
a
more
circular
economy
by
putting
money
back
in
our
pockets
through
investing
it
in
those
strategic
ways.
So
thank
you.
I
just
wanted
to
say
that.
AJ
Hello,
honorable
city
council,
my
name
is
Dr
Forrest,
Peterson
I'm,
a
postdoc
researcher
at
Stanford
in
at
the
center
for
integrative
facilities,
engineering
at
Stanford,
University
and
so
I
want
to
bring
your
attention
to
your
wage
stuff
policy,
revisions
for
janitorial
security
and
public
works,
and
two
years
ago
I
published
a
paper
in
collaboration
with
the
wage
stuff
Coalition.
Where
I
sit
on
the
steering
committee,
and
in
that
paper,
which
is
published
at
Stanford
engineering,
we
found
a
total
of
1
758
wage
stuff
cases
in
Santa,
Clara,
County's,
janitorial
industry.
AJ
Typically,
the
the
security
industry
mirrors,
the
janitorial
industry
and
the
the
the
the
level
of
wage
theft.
These
cases
affected
2
000
employees
and
it
amounts
to
over
six
million
dollars
in
unpaid
wages.
So
this
is
an
important
issue
that
affects
the
working,
the
working
community
of
Silicon
Valley,
and
these
are
you,
know,
fairly
low
paid
wages
to
start
with.
AJ
C
Q
Yes,
can
you
hear
me?
Yes,
okay,
Paul
Soto
from
the
Horseshoe.
My
comments
are
restricted
to
just
simply
the
living
wage
policy
that
the
city
already
has
in
place.
Now
it's
you
need
at
least
a
minimum
for
a
family
of
four.
You
need
to
make
about
75
dollars
per
hour.
Now.
Certainly
I
wouldn't
ask
that
for
the
city,
but
when
you,
when
you
talk
about
you,
I
mean
this
city
is
just
like:
it's
got
this
cognitive
dissonance
where
it
could
hold
two
contradictory
issues
and
hold
them
as
both
true.
Q
I
mean
it's
really
baffling
the
way
that
the
city
operates.
You
know
because,
because
you
lie,
you
lie
to
yourself
and
you
lie
to
the
community
and
you
do
it
with
a
straight
face
and
a
smile
and
sometimes
leaving
Market
when
it's
being
confronted
just
so
that
you
can
minimize
it
and
dismiss
it
as
illegitimate,
and
it's
not
all
you
have
to
do
is
follow
the
very
policy
that
you
have
and
we
don't
even
have
to
have
a
discussion.
Why
we
need
a
discussion
when
you
only
have
a
living.
AK
Silvertobe
I'm
supervising
attorney
at
the
workers
rights
practice
at
the
Law
Center
and
I,
also
I'm
on
the
olsc
Advice
Line.
A
large
proportion
of
my
callers
on
the
Advice
Line
are
from
the
security
industry
and
the
not
a
hundred
percent
of
them
are
non-union.
Security
guards
and
I
do
want
to
say
that
the
data
that
Forest
provided
was
non-union
security
guards.
We
don't
see
that
problem
when
there's
a
union,
because
there
is
a
mechanism
to
resolve
wage
issues
through
the
agreements
procedure.
AK
I
want
to
thank
the
the
oea
and
the
council
and
everyone
who
ensured
that
this
security
contract
would
be
awarded
to
a
union
contractor,
as
others
mentioned,
the
wage
theft
revision
is
coming
up
and
I
wanted
to
bring
to
your
tension
that
the
City
of
Palo,
Alto
and
Mountain
View
require
janitorial
and
security
guard
companies
to
have
a
collective
bargaining
agreement.
We
want
the
city
of
San
Jose
to
join
them.
We
would
like
the
revision
of
the
wage
theft
policy
to
include
a
requirement.
The
janitorial
and
security
guards
be
awarded
a
Union
contract.
AK
You've
heard
the
benefits
wages
also
just
cause
termination,
which
is
really
important
and,
as
I
said
before,
and
I
want
to
re-emphasize
a
mechanized
to
resolve
wage
issues
through
the
grievance
procedure.
I
want
to
thank
you
again
for
ensuring
that
this
contract
is
awarded
to
a
union
contractor.
Thank
you
so
much.
R
Hi
Roy
Beekman
here
yeah
this
this
item
you're
talking
about
the
future
of
security
guards
in
terms
of
wage
theft
issues.
Thank
you
for
that.
It's
good
to
know
that
you're
practicing
you're,
considering
and
we'll
be
practicing
such
things.
Yeah
I'm,
worried
though,
and
how
you
know
in
in
supplying
and
providing
more
Security
Guard
Services
you're,
going
to
be
setting
a
tone
and
a
standard,
perhaps
for
the
rest
of
the
city,
to
want
to
continue
to
double
and
multiply
their
security
guard
services
and
I.
Don't
think.
R
I
think
you
should
be
talking
about
these
sort
of
policies,
as
temporary
I
think
that's
an
important
concept
to
talk
about
as
temporary
things
that
these
things
will
eventually
go
away
and
that
I
mean
we're
building
the
future
of
our
school
system.
So
our
teachers
don't
have
guns
in
the
in
the
classroom
correct.
So
why
are
we?
Why
are
we
doing
such
practices?
It
isn't
the
same
thing
to
have
metal
detectors
at
the
door,
but
why
not
hire
security
guards
to
stand
at
the
elevator?
R
Why
not
have
two
security
guards
to
kind
of
walk
around
the
the
lobby
with
that
that
can
accomplish
just
as
much
and
create
a
sense
of
trust
much
more
than
these
huge
metal
detectors
that
I
just
think
are
the
embodiment
of
fear
and
the
prison
police
state.
Basically,
it
just
reminds
us
of
a
of
a
world
that
we
don't
want
to
live
in.
Let's
make
the
steps
to
ask
people
not
to
fire
guns
in
in
our
in
our
you
know:
public
spaces.
R
Let's
practice,
you
know
good
mental
health
things
with
each
other
and
and
build
trust
and
and
build
the
concept
of
trust.
With
these
things,
we
can
take
much
smaller
steps
than
what
you're
doing
at
this
time.
I'm
really
disappointed
in
what
you're
doing
guys
and
I
hope
you
can
really
want
to
talk
about
it
in
terms
of
it
being
a
temporary
process.
How
can
you
guys
learn
to
use
that
sort
of
language?
Thank.
AL
Hi
good
afternoon,
mayor
and
city
council,
my
name
is
Krista
De
la
Torre
and
I'm,
a
union
representative
with
ifpc
local
21..
We
represent
over
11
000
public
sector
workers
throughout
the
bay
area
today,
I'm
here
to
stand
with
our
brothers
and
sisters
at
SEIU,
usw
and
I
want
to
thank
the
members
of
the
council
who
stood
with
the
security
officers,
who
patrolled
the
San,
Jose,
Airport
and
supported
union
jobs
for
contracted
workers,
especially
want
to
thank
council
members,
Ortiz
and
Torres
for
their
leadership
on
this
issue.
Thank
you
again
and
I
yields
my
time.
AM
Think
folks
have
gathered
this
by
now,
but
I
just
wanted
to
get
on,
and
let
folks
know
that
good
guard
reached
out
to
us
on
Friday
last
week
and
they
have
put
in
writing
their
commitments
to
honor
the
wages,
the
benefits
you
know,
future
wage
increases
and
benefit
improvements
that
are
coming
and
they've
agreed
to
sign
on
to
a
collective,
the
collective
bargaining
agreement
that
covers
security
officers
throughout
throughout
San
Jose
Silicon
Valley
area.
So
I
I'm
really
excited
about
this
and
just
wanted
to
get
on
and
say
and
appreciate.
AM
N
AN
Can
they
have
Mountain
View
and
Palo
Alto,
as
you
know,
recently
passed
similar
requirements.
Those
are
the
president
obvious
things
that
they
can
follow
and
finally,
I'd
like
to
put
in
the
plug
for
the
city
that
is
being
started
now,
to
increase
education.
Outreach
for
workers
who
may
not
be
contracting
with
the
city
but
also
are
impacted
by
wage
theft,
want
to
learn
how
they
can
protect
and
defend
themselves.
This
is
a
great
start,
but
what
we'd
really
like
to
see
is
all
workers
having
made
right.
AB
Great
so
I
would
I
would
like
to
thank
our
our
security
guards
for
for
holding
us
accountable.
We
see
you
and
we
hear
you
and
just
want
to
let
you
all
know
that
wage
theft
must
continue
to
be
a
top
priority
for
for
our
city,
and
so
with
that.
I
also
want
to
thank
Julia
and
loose
for
negotiating
and
and
Contracting
and
Contracting
this.
This
really
good
security
guard
contract,
so
I
with
that.
AB
I
also
want
to
thank
good
Guard
Security
for
for
for
retaining
the
workforce
and
honoring
the
healthcare
benefits
of
our
workers.
It
is
very
important
to
honor
our
working
class
Community
here
in
the
city
of
San
Jose.
We
are
rapidly
displacing
our
working
class
Community
because
of
the
afford
for
the
affordability
of
the
city,
and
so
this
is
a
a
great
first
step
to
let
our
community
know
our
working
class.
Community
know
how
important
they
are
to
our
to
our
city.
So
so,
with
that
those
are
that's.
All
I
have.

Thank
you
mayor
first
I
want
to
thank
the
city,
manager's
office,
Finance
staff
for
making
themselves
available
to
answer
questions
and
concerns
from
my
office
and
stakeholders.
As
mentioned
in
my
and
council
member
tourism
memo.
Our
security
guard
agreement
is
one
of
the
city's
most
crucial
and
biggest
contracts
that
we
award.
AP
Very
much
and
because
my
colleagues
have
already
covered
much
of
it.
I
want
to
thank
all
who
really
worked
on
this
and
ensuring
worker
rights
a
smooth
transitioning
and
making
this
a
positive
outcome.
You
know
this
doesn't
happen
without
hard
work.
So
certainly
you
know
I
recognize
that
and
I
congratulate
everyone
who
was
involved
in
this
in
giving
us
a
good
outcome.
I
also
want
to
say
that
just
for
this
council
member
wage
theft
is
not
okay
and
I.
Look
forward
to
the
wage.
AP
AA
O
AQ
There
were
others
that
that
Materia,
they
just
didn't
score
high
enough
to
move
to
the
next
stage.
It
is
one
of
the
things
that
we
are
considering
when
we're
working
with
public
works
on
the
revision
to
the
wage
theft
policy
is
what
part
of
the
procurement
process
do.
We
do
the
check
with
respect
to
wage
theft,
violations
and
you're
right
doing
it
at
the
beginning,
as
a
turn
on
or
off
whether
they're
qualified
to
move
forward
is
much
more
efficient
way
to
think
about
doing
it.

This
item
was
originally
scheduled
for
them
for
the
January
31st
council
meeting.
It
has
been
deferred
several
times,
so
the
contract
will
be
will
be
effective
from
the
date
that
we
execute
it.
So
whenever
that
date
is
so,
we
anticipate
that
will
be
before
the
expiration
of
the
current
agreement.
We
have
out
of
the
airport
on
March
31st,
so
so
it'll
be
on
or
before
March
31st,
then
through
March
31st
of
20.
What
is
it
20
24?
Is
that
the
first
period?
Yes?
AQ
B
Hopefully,
for
the
last
time
this
year,
I
submitted
a
memo
that
attempts
to
pull
together
all
of
the
requests.
We
have
four
specific
appointments
here
that
were
communicated
by
individual
council
members
and
I
think
fit
with
everyone's
schedules
and
interests
and
and
input
from
the
bodies
themselves.
So
unless
there's
well,
why
don't
we
go
to
public
comment
and
we'll
see
if
there
are
any
questions
or
comments?
C
R
All
right,
thank
you,
hello,
Beekman,
here,
I'm,
really
hoping
that
you
know
we
have
a
really
good
plan
to
really
build
up
the
future
of
our
boards
and
commission
process
in
San,
Jose
and
return
it
to
I
think
was
a
really
vibrant
good
process
for
ourselves.
I.
Think
ideas
like
East,
Bay,
Community
energy,
where
Matt
Mahan
mayor
Mayhem,
was
previously
a
commissioner.
R
You
know,
committee
commissions
like
that,
have
a
really
important
function
and
a
really
important
can
offer
real
important
help
to
the
community
process,
and
hcdc
is
always
a
name
to
consider
and
and
how
we're
trying
to
apply.
You
know
how
you
know
more
of
our
homeless,
community
and
disabled
Community
can
be
on
such
boards
and
to
have
a
voice
and
a
place
we're
working
on
interesting
things.
R
C
Q
Oh
Paul
from
the
Horseshoe
I
want
to
talk
about
boards
and
commissions
in
a
general
sense
that
the
boards
and
commissions
advise
the
the
overall
Council
the
substance
of
the
discussions
that
are
held
within
that
context.
Those
are
what
the
council
relies
on
in
terms
of
just
what
what
is
it
that
Council
must
consider?
You
know
what
kinds
of
debates
had
went
on
inside
the
boards
and
commissions
and
how
that
can
inform
policy
that
you
know
you
all
discuss
and
then
legislate.
Q
Okay
on
the
surface,
that's,
oh
okay,
yeah,
that's
pretty
cool,
but
those
boards
and
commissions
are
gained.
The
people
that
are
on
those
boards
and
commissions
have
agendas
and
that's
what
they
use.
They
hijack
the
the
boards
and
commissions
in
order
to
serve
those
personal
agendas
that
they
have
that's
when
the
process
becomes
compromised
and
it
lacks
integrity
and
those
are
the
issues
that
I.
Basically
that's
what
I'm
for
I
am
basically
and
I.
Q
I
have
over
six
years
of
experience,
no,
not
over
going
on
six
years,
this
September
of
attending
every
single
one
of
these
meetings
without
fail.
All
of
them,
so
I
bring
a
very
unique
perspective
because
none
of
you
go
to
those
meetings.
I
do
so
I'm
hearing
conversations
and
knowing
where
the
lies
are
where
the
contradictions
are,
and
so
a
case
in
point
is
what
happened
with
when
when
District
Six
was
assigned
to
the
rules
committee,
what
they
got,
what
they,
what
was
denied
at
one
particular
rules
committee?
Q
They
leverage
their
influence
on
that
Committee
in
order
to
propose
National
agenda
of
getting
the
Xiao
District
historical,
landmark
status.
That's
what
I
mean
it
compromises
the
Integrity
of
these
commissions,
so
I'm
be
very
very
mindful
of
that,
because
these
are
legal
questions
as
well.
Thank
you,
Jill.
AR
AR
Why
there
is
the
question:
do
you
own
property
and
then
do
you
rent
property
and
are
you
on
a
month-to-month
basis?
If
you,
if
you
do
rent
and
I
mean
I,
I
can
obviously
clearly
come
to
some
conclusions
as
to
why
we
asked
those
questions,
but
we
might
want
to
explain
in
the
application
the
reason
that
we
do
ask
that
question
so
that
those
people
understand
you
know
just
what
it
is
that
the
perspective
is.
B
AA
Yeah
I
apologize
for
the
for
this
no
I
have
a
memo
that
was
that's
here.
It's
already
posted
there's
a
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
my
memo
gets
added
as
a
commendment.
To
that,
unfortunately,
the
Bosca
board,
the
Bay
Area
Water
Supply
conservation
agency
board,
has
a
different
term
than
all
the
other
things
we
appoint
for
the
term
that
I
was
appointed
for
in
January,
expires
on
June
30th.
They
were
making
sure
that
we
had
a
continuity
and
wanted
me
to
be
appointed
for
the
entire
four-year
term.
AA
That
follows
they
have
a
different
process
than
everybody
else.
So
this
my
memo
would
allow
that
to
be
handled
in
addition
to
everything
else,
by
continuing
my
appointment
to
the
water
financing
agency
and
Bosco
board,
and
the
reason
to
do
both
is
that
they
both
meet
at
the
same
time
up
in
Burlingame,
and
it
doesn't
make
sense
for
two
people
to
split
those
great.
B
B
Great
thank
you
that
passes
unanimously.
We
were
on
to
item
5.1,
the
agreement
with
Jacobs
Engineering
Group
for
program
management,
support
services
at
the
San
Jose
mineta
International
Airport
got
the
new
and
then
there's
no
presentation.
Thank
you.
So
I
do
see
that
we
have
John
in
the
audience
of
questions.
Move
approval
come
up.
R
R
C
Q
Go
ahead,
thank
you.
Paul
Soto,
from
horseshoe,
when
you
have
a
contract
of
this
magnitude,
I
think
I
think
in
terms
of
protocol
I,
think
it's
kind
of
necessary
to
have
a
presentation
to
inform,
just
just
as
a
just
as
to
keep
an
order
of
business,
that
you
have
a
presentation
that
the
presentation
at
least
basically
outline
what
this
71
million
dollars.
What
are
we
getting
in
exchange
for
that?
I'm,
a
citizen
man,
that's
my
failure.
Q
I
want
to
know
where
this
money's
going
I
want
to
know
that
I'm
not
getting
jacked
and
if
I
am
getting
Jack
at
least
I'm
informed
about
it.
You
know,
I
mean
these
are
just
basic
things:
man
and,
and
these
these
kinds
of
contracts
get
just.
You
know
you
know
they
first
did
they
amend
it.
They
get
seconded
and
then
boom
next
and
then
that's
it,
and
then
that's
71
million
dollars,
man
that
the
city
has
absolutely
no
clue.
Oh
well,
it's
for
the
airport,
so
that
means
it's
okay.
Q
You
know
I
mean
I,
think
these
are
just
basic
basic,
fundamental
questions
that
we
have
to
ask
ourselves
in
terms
of
a
process,
because
this
is
not
democracy,
man,
it
is
a
hypocrisy,
it
is
a
hypocrisy
of
democracy.
That's
being
displayed
right
here
in
front
of
me
and
I'm
supposed
to
like
sit
back
and
like
be
okay
with
it.
No
no.
Q
This
is
not
okay,
I'm
asking
that
if
you
have
any
contract
that
is
presented
over
five
million
dollars,
that
there
be
at
least
a
presentation,
so
that
the
public
is
informed
as
to
where
this
money
is
going
and
what
benefit
we
are
receiving
as
a
community.
In
order
to
do
that,
not
some
71
page
memo
get
them
in
front
of
us
man
they
answer
to
us.
Thank
you.
B
E
I
I
think
I
agree
with
the
public
comment,
which
was
made
I
think
a
magnitude
of
this
contract
with
zero
presentation.
What
are
we
really
voting
on?
You
know,
I
I
think
the
public
comment
was
very
valid.
So,
as
a
result,
I
would
say
that
the
council
should
really
demand
a
presentation
in
future
for
any
contract
of
any
sizable
thing.
Okay,.
B
Appreciate
the
comment,
I
would
note
it's
often
with
the
more
standard
contracts,
a
a
we
often
as
council
members
do
do
follow-up
meetings
with
departments.
If
we
have
questions
I
do
like
getting
presentations,
but
when
we
have
a
really
full
agenda.
Sometimes
the
Administration
has
to
trade
off
where
to
put
the
focus
but
I
appreciate
the
comment.
E
B
That
understood,
yeah,
it's
a
fair,
node
and
I
would
also
just
note.
The
the
memorandum
that's
attached
does
give
does
give
quite
a
bit
of
background.
Okay,
unless
there's
I
don't
see
any
other
hands
up.
So
why
don't
we
attempt
to
vote
again
and
and
council
member?
Are
you
able
to
vote
with
your
screen
at
this
point?
Okay,.
B
Yeah
great
that
passes
unanimously
and
we
are
on
to
item
5.2,
which
is
authorization
to
seek
funding
from
the
US
Department
of
transportation's
National
infrastructure.
Investments,
for
this
would
be
before
I
had
this
here
somewhere
the
terminal,
a
ground,
transportation,
Island
project
I,
do
not
believe
we
have
a
presentation.
We
do
have
a
memorandum
attached
as
per
usual.
C
R
So
thank
you
for
your
patience
with
me
as
sometimes
my
ideas
can
be
a
bit
abstract
for
yourselves,
but
they
have
really
good
intentions
and
for
this
item
for
both
of
these
items,
I
guess
first
a
thank
you
to
the
council
person
and
to
Paul
for
noting
that
for
items
of
of
such
expense
that
to
to
have
some
sort
of
a
presentation,
it
seems
a
really
good
idea.
Thank
you
for
that.
R
I
wanted
to
add
that
with
the
issues
at
the
airport
they
and
these
such
large
projects,
as
this
there'll,
be
some
tech
involved
somewhere
down
the
road
and
that
the
tech
practices
at
the
airport
tend
to
be
a
little
more
open
and
experimental
towards
the
ideas
of
good
civil
rights
and
civil
protection
practices.
But
I
just
wanted
to
remind
yourselves
of
so
that
we
can
learn
good
lessons.
How
to
then
apply
those
practices
to
our
everyday
City
and
law
enforcement
concerns.
R
C
Q
Q
That's
ready,
but
there's
a
very
clear
theme
about
erasing
the
language
that
you're
using
it
references
Silicon,
Valley
that
the
airport
belongs
to
Silicon,
Valley
Silicon
Valley
doesn't
even
exist
on
a
map,
it
does
not
exist,
San
Jose
does,
and
these
are
San
Jose
memos,
but
yet
the
language
that's
being
used
is
excising,
San
Jose.
As
that
airport
belonging
to
San
Jose.
It
says
that
that
airport
belongs
to
Silicon
Valley
Silicon
Valley
does
not
exist.
Q
It
literally
does
not.
You
can't
look
out
any
map
and
show
me
Silicon
Valley.
You
can
look
on
a
map,
however,
and
show
me
San
Jose.
That's
number
one
number
two.
The
issue
is
kind
of
exciting
Norman
mineta's
prominence
in
the
public
sphere.
That's
dangerous!
You
want
to
start
going
in
that
area
and
erasing
Norman
minetta's
Legacy
in
this
city
as
it
relates
to
Transportation.
This
is
a
man
who
was
elected
to
the
same
Department
by
two
different
presidents,
both
Democrat
and
Republican.
Q
There
is
nobody
else
that
has
been
assigned
to
a
cabinet
post,
Ben,
Norman
limited.
He
was
able
to
accomplish
that
from
a
city
that
had
relegated
him
through
a
processing
center
and
San
Jose
State
when
he
was
sent
to
the
internment
camp,
so
I'm
asking
you
to
be
very,
very
careful,
the
way,
you're
exciting
and
erasing
people's
legacies
inside
these
documents.
Thank
you.
AA
Yeah
I
actually
have
a
question
for
John
on
this
one.
It
looks
like
a
pretty
good
project.
I've
always
felt
that
that
Terminal
A
Transit
area
was
kind
of
out
of
place
where
it
is,
this
seems
to
say
it's
being
relocated
or
or
improved
in
terms
of
access
to
it.
Can
you
just
describe
a
little
bit
how
that's
being
done?
It's.
V
AA
B
And
that
passed
unanimously.
Thank
you.
John
busy
day
at
the
airport,
we
are
on
to
item
eight
one,
which
is
the
sixth
substantial
Amendment
to
the
fiscal
year.
2019-2020
annual
action
plan
for
reallocating
Coronavirus
Aid
relief
from
an
award
from
the
Department
of
Housing
and
Urban
Development
I
believe
we
have
a
short
presentation.
AS
Good
evening,
thank
you,
Council
Reagan,
Henninger
deputy
director
of
the
city's
housing
department.
We
are
here
this
evening
for
a
public
hearing,
for
what
will
be
our
sixth
amendment
to
our
2019-2020
annual
action
plan
with
HUD
and
the
reason
we
are
going.
All
the
way
back
to
2019
2020
plan
is
because
that
is
the
year
that
we
formally
programmed
these
covid
related
funds.
So
we
have
to
actually
go
back
and
amend
that
plan.
AS
AS
The
council
originally
approved
spending
activities
for
child
care,
food
distribution,
emergency
interim
housing
operations,
motel
vouchers
for
families,
Community
Wi-Fi
and
legal
services.
The
two
activities
that
had
the
most
funding
allocated
to
them
originally
were
from
Motel
voucher
programs
for
families
and
for
Legal
Services.
AS
However,
the
non-profit
that
we
were
working
with
for
Legal
Services
was
unable
to
expand
to
a
level
of
programming
that
we
needed
and
the
motel
voucher
programming
for
families
was
able
to
expand.
However,
we
used
a
different
covid
related
funding
source
that
had
a
far
more
immediate
spending
deadline,
so
it
was
a
little
bit
of
a
game
of
budget
Tetris
where
we
had
to
make
sure
we
were
spending
at
the
appropriate
pace
and
by
the
priority
spending
deadlines.
AS
AS
The
demand
for
Food
Service
remains
High,
which
is
why
this
activity
was
chosen
because
it
can
spend
those
remaining
funds.
The
housing
department
will
take
over
these
contracts
from
the
parks,
recreation
and
Neighborhood
Services
Department,
and
we
are
working
closely
with
the
contracted
agencies
to
extend
their
contracts,
taking
into
consideration
their
ability
and
bandwidth
to
provide
the
services
for
a
longer
period
of
time
and
some
are
actually
able
to
expand
their
services.
AS
So,
working
individually
with
each
of
the
entities
that
you
see
on
the
screen,
three
agencies-
Sacred
Heart,
veggie,
Lucian
and
West
Valley-
chose
not
to
increase
their
services
because
they
were
unable
to
expand,
but
they
were
able
to
continue
for
this
longer
period
of
time
and
three
agencies:
Catholic
Charities,
the
Health,
Trust
and
Loaves
and
Fishes-
were
able
to
both
increase
their
services
and
provide
the
services
for
this
longer
period
of
time
and
the
proposed
amounts
for
each
of
this.
These
agencies
are
on
page
five
of
the
staff
report.
AS
And
finally,
the
remainder
of
funds
will
go
towards
sanitation
services
at
encampments,
specifically
porta
potties
and
hand
washing
stations
back
in
June
Council
approved
a
purchase
order
with
United
Site
rentals
for
sanitation
services
at
encampments,
and
at
the
time
we
had
approved
using
measure
e
for
these
Services.
However,
we're
going
to
swap
out
the
funds
and
now
use
this
cdbg
coven
related
money
and
I
will
say
that
the
sanitation
services
and
encampments
also
helps
us
fulfill
our
obligations
under
the
direct
discharge
program
and
it
also
offsets
other
cleaning
costs.
AS
We
have
a
purchase
order
with
environmental
Logistics
which
pays
for
cleaning
and
removal
of
human
waste.
That
is
not
where
it's
supposed
to
be,
for
example,
some
RVs
that
may
illegally
dump
their
black
water
or
other
tales
that
I
will
not
Regale
you
with
regarding
encampments
and
sanitation
services.
B
AI
Good
afternoon,
honorable
mayor
and
city
council,
this
is
actually
a
great
example
of
what
I
was
basically
stating
previously
of
strategically
investing
in
our
local
community
and
additionally,
a
great
way
for
us
to
financially
kind
of
stretch.
The
dollar
here
would
be
to
sort
of
take
a
benefit
out
of
some
of
the
corporate
Arbitrage,
with
a
lot
of
the
wastes
that
a
lot
of
our
local
businesses
generate
too.
Q
At
the
same
time
that
this
city
kept
encouraging,
quote,
unquote
essential
workers
to
continue
to
go
to
work
knowingly
that
they
were
getting
themselves
infected
and
then
taking
that
infection
back
to
their
homes,
just
so
that
they
could
keep
Anglo
families
fed
keep
anglo-family
shopping.
Keep
anglo-family
keep
Anglo
supermarkets
stock
with
food.
That's
what
happened!
That's
what
we
did.
Q
The
city
also
sent
us
set
on
this
money
and
they're
trying
to
use
some
of
that
money
that
should
be
used.
They're
trying
to
use
some
of
that
money
that
should
necessarily
come
out
of
the
city's
budget
to
deal
with
trash
to
deal
with
encampments.
I
mean
come
on.
People
I
mean
am
I
the
only
person
that
sees
how
disgusting
this
city
is
functioning.
Q
You
know
I
I,
don't
think
I'm
alone
in
it
I
think
I'm.
The
only
one
with
the
courage
to
challenge
it,
that's
what
I'm
thinking,
because
I
think
I
I
think
I,
don't
speak
for
myself.
I
think,
there's
a
lot
of
people
that
see
how
disgusting
this
council
is
conducting
Itself
by
actually
considering
using
money
that
was
allocated
to
this
to
this
city
on
behalf
of
my
community.
That
was
dying,
I
mean
come
on
man
and
then
you
want
to
you
want
to
insult
Us
by
using
it
for
for
encampments.
R
How
how
we
can
make
that
a
more
public
process
instead
of
a
current
chastising
and
and
kind
of
Separation,
you
know
us
versus
them
kind
of
thing.
How
do
we
make
it
a
whole
community?
You
know
process
good
luck,
how
to
do
that
in
the
future
and
I.
Think
this
item
is
the
sort
of
money
to
do
those
sort
of
projects
and
programs.
So
good
luck:
how
to
do
that
and
there's
ways
to
address
things.
I'm
hopeful
that
I'm
thankful
that
this
is
simply
State.
I
R
R
N
AO
B
C
AT
AT
AT
AU
AU
There
was
like
10
of
us
that
got
it.
Okay,
it
was
Obama
had
done
that
and
I'm
the
only
one
that
still
has
my
housing.
Okay,
so
giving
the
homeless
housing
is
like
a
revolving
door,
and
the
problem
is:
is
that
they're
alcoholics,
they're
drug
addicts
and
their
schizophrenics
and
these
people
to
just
give
them
the
key
and
that
kind
of
responsibility
to
an
apartment
is
not
going
to
work?
They
need
guidance.
They
need
constant
checking
in
on
and
I
think
that
the
place
that
you
guys
have
on
San
Carlos.
It
was
just
built.
AU
AU
What
they
need
is
a
facility
like
an
apartment,
building
kind
of
like
JSI,
where
they
have
caseworkers
there
all
the
time,
because
these
people
go
straight,
they
they
have
no
sense
of
structure
in
their
life.
If
they
had
structure
in
their
life,
they
wouldn't
be
on
the
streets.
You
know
there,
some
homeless
people
are
just
homeless
because
they
lost
their
job,
but
the
other
half
are
because
they're
mentally
ill
and
they're
addicts,
and
they
will
always
be
homeless
unless
there's
drug
rehabilitation
for
them.
I
am
sorry.
Okay.
Thank
you.
D
F
AV
What
is
artist,
my
name
is
Kathleen
and
I
want
to
wish
everybody
a
thoughtful
Valentine's
Day
and
my
thoughts
in
listening
to
this
meeting
all
day
today
with
the
pastor
that
we
are
challenged
by
to
love
our
neighbor,
not
as
we
love
ourselves
always,
but
as
our
creator
loved
us,
which
is
a
which
is
a
higher
commission.
Some
of
us
don't
love
ourselves
to
love
our
neighbors
as
ourselves.
AV
AV
I
also
am
Native
American
and
I.
Also,
love
love
the
assets
of
California
as
a
native
Californian
and
our
Republic
being
someone
who
believes
that
the
people
should
be
greater
than
the
government.
I
do
see
personally
for
five
months,
I
spend
every
single
day
in
that
Creek
I'm
pulling
out
trash.
Not
once
did
I
see
anyone
from
Valley
Water
not
once
did
I
see
any
non-profit.
Not
once
did
I
see
any
City
County
worker,
nor
did
I,
see
Tucker
construction
out
there
in
the
water.
AV
When
I
see
Crews
to
come
clean
up,
I,
don't
know
if
the
Public's
aware,
but
they
do
not
go
in
the
water.
When
we're
talking
about
flood
prevention,
about
businesses
in
the
area,
okay,
they
can
do
homeless
encampments
and
they
do
cleanup
around
the
creek,
but
they
do
not
step
foot
in
the
water,
which
is
where
the
problem
is.
If
we
want
clean
water
and-
and
we
want
accountability
for
for
the
money
allocated
to
prevent
floods,
we
need
to
get
in
the
water.
AV
Okay
and
recently
is
the
only
time
I've
ever
heard
that
they're
preparing
to
do
so,
but
they
need
a
Hazmat
crew
authorized
to
to
go
into
the
water.
For
for
these
kind
of
issues,
I
understand
that
it
makes
sense
to
me
as
far
as
letting
people
know
what's
going
on
there,
there
is
no
translucency.
Yesterday
I
had
my
van
towed
at
9
00
PM
in
the
evening
by
I'm.
Sorry,
your
time.
C
B
AI
Good
afternoon,
honorable
mayor
and
city
council,
my
name
is
Sean
Paul
guess
I
accidentally
forgot
to
write
my
name,
but
anyways
yeah
I
just
wanted
to
speak
more
about
the
opportunity
cost
facing
San
Jose
and
the
problems
that
are
facing
our
economy.
If
we
don't
strategically
invest
in
our
youth
or
even
just
actualize
the
value
that's
already
there
and
realize
that
latent
potential
real,
like
within
our
society,
because
having
people
do
menial
labor
when
they
are
able
to
do
more,
it
doesn't
really
benefit
anyone
and
to
not
be
paid.
AI
What
you're
worth
to
not
get.
What
you're
worth
doesn't
really
positively
affect
our
society
and
by
strategically
investing
and
making
sure
that
people
can
reach
the
potential
and
by
investing
in
the
infrastructure.
For
that
change
to
take
place
is
really
really
important,
since
it
would
lead
to
the
overall
growth
of
our
economy
and
by
taking
actions
like
strategically
focused
on
economic
hubs
like
District,
three
or
like
specific
economic
centers
or
like
attractions
like
the
creeks
and
trails
and
potential
Parks.
AI
So
it's
it's.
It's
easy
to
say
hard
to
do.
Understandably
and
yeah
I'm
more
than
happy
to
support
a
surprising
amount
of
institutional
people
are
also
willing
to
support
non-profit
leaders
as
well
a
lot
of
community
people.
A
lot
of
Youth
too,
especially
and
yeah
I'd,
be
more
than
happy
to
extend
the
conversation.
Thank
you
thank.
D
R
Blair
Beekman
thanks
for
public
comment.
Today,
it's
kind
of
nice,
the
first
public
commenter.
You
know
I'm
learning
that
if
he
wants
to
continue
what
she
wanted
to
talk
about,
she
can
easily
write
a
letter
to
the
council,
persons
and
they'll.
Listen,
they'll,
listen
to
her
story,
and
so
thanks
for
that,
I
wanted
to
offer
a
few
of
my
thoughts
on
the
study
session
meeting
this
morning.
Thank
you,
mayor
Mayhem,
for
you
know,
choosing
to
hear
the
words
of
really
good
words.

Honorable
mayor
and
council
members,
my
name
is
vasant
Shetty
I
am
calling
into
this
meeting
today
to
express
my
shock
and
disappointment
regarding
the
incident
of
January
31st
disappearance
of
440
found
metal
statue
of
Great
Indian
warrior
shivaji
Maharaj.
That
statue
is
located
at
gudalupe
River
Park.
This
unfortunate
incident
deeply
hurts
the
local
Indian
Community
at
large.
AW
As
you
can
imagine,
there
is
a
long
history
and
profound
sentiment
of
Bay
Area
Indian
Community
that
resides
with
this
statue.
I
am
glad
that
the
statue
has
been
pound.
One
thing
is
clear:
cutting
and
lifting
this
heavy
statue
is
not
easy.
This
must
be
a
well-planned
incident.
I
am
very
thankful
to
the
Bay
Area
News
Group
reporter
and
San
Jose
police
department
who
helped
to
trace
this
statue
at
San.
Jose
metal,
scrapyard
I
have
two
immediate
requests
to
the
city
number
one.
AW
Do
a
thorough
investigation
of
this
incident
and
bring
culprit
to
Justice
number
two.
Please
publish
your
plan
to
restore
this
statue
as
early
as
possible,
along
with
the
safety
measure,
the
city
is
planning
to
do
to
to
avoid
this
kind
of
situation
in
future.
I
also
hope
this
is
not
a
hate
crime
incident,
considering
the
recent
attacks
on
another
statue
of
Great
Indian
leader
in
other
cities,
Across
America.
Thank
you
very
much.

Hello
good
afternoon,
honorable
mayor
and
all
the
city
council
members,
my
name
is
Sandeep
and
I
am
the
resident
of
District
9.
Here
I
recently
came
to
know
about
the
hate
crime
of
maratha
Empire
Emperor,
shivaji
Maharaj,
and
this
is
quite
shocking
because
me
and
my
family,
along
with
the
friends,
have
spent
so
many
hours
and
times
at
the
place,
and
he
is
the
below
inspiration
for
millions
of
Indian
Americans.
Here
it
is
the
only
one
statue
that
we
have
for
shivaji
Maharaj
in
entire
America,
and
this
is
very
shocking
and
I'm.
AY
Speaking
on,
we
have
my
family.
My
friends
and
I
definitely
want
to
bring
to
your
notice
that
recently,
in
last
few
years,
there
have
been
lots
of
hate
crimes
against
my
community
of
Indian
origin
happening
Across
America.
There
have
been
statue
vandalisms
in
Davis
in
New,
York
from
Mahatma,
Gandhi
statue
and
so
on,
and
this
one
is
seemingly
no
less
than
that.
What
I'm
looking
for
is
detail.
Investigation
report,
in
terms
of
like
this
to
me,
sounds
like
a
hate
crime
and
who
are
the
criminals?
AY
If,
yes,
then,
why
has
it
not
been
released,
and
why
are
the
names
not
out,
and
what
is
the
kind
of
analysis
of
this
particular
incident
really
definitely
want
to
have
the
clearer
picture
for
all
of
this,
and
what
is
the
next
step
that
we
are
expecting
either
put
the
same
statue,
but
if
not
then
put
a
bigger
and
better
statue,
and
given
that
this
has
happened
for
the
second
time
for
this
statue,
you
definitely
would
like
to
have
a
better
security
towards
this.
But
I.
AY
P
Hello
and
Namaste
respected
mayor
and
three
thousand
members.
My
name
is
rakshit
and
I'm
here
to
express
my
deep
concern
and
shock
of
the
recent
vandalism
of
the
shivaji
Maharaj
statue.
I.
Think
this
previous
speakers
have
already
updated
you
on
the
the
the
the
situation
that
we
are
into
I
think
this
is
a
very
disrespectful
activity
that
we
have
seen
in
the
city
of
San
Jose
considering
this
was
a.
P
It
pains
me
a
lot
and
with
me
I
have
my
family
members
having
the
same
feeling,
he
I
mean
shivaji.
Maharaja
is
more
than
King.
He
is
somebody
that
we
all
as
Indians
and
Indian
Americans
here
in
in
US
residing
here.
We
refer
to
them.
We
kind
of
blow
our
heads
in
front
of
him.
He
is
more
than
the
statue
for
him
for
us.
I
I
know
that
there
has
been
steps
taken
from
the
school's
Department.
P
I
appreciate
it,
but
I
think
there
are
a
few
questions
unanswered
and
we
are
here
to
seek
answers
for
them.
I
mean
this
is
something
that
we
have
seen
in
the
past.
As
the
previous
speakers
mentioned,
there
is
a
high
crime
increasing
for
the
South
Asian
in
the
Hindus,
and
the
Americans
here
is
the
city
taking
steps
towards
it.
The,
since
the
committee
is
not
seeing
any
urgency
that
the
city
is
showing
a
lot
of
and
a
lot
of
questions
being
unanswered.
P
The
community
and
at
large
is
deeply
concerned
and
somehow
I
think
because
the
answers
are,
the
questions
are
unanswered.
They
are
losing
faith
in
the
city.
Council,
I
I
urge
the
city
council
members
to
take
a
steps
on
this
and
assure
the
committee
that
there
are
some
steps
taken
in
the
in
the
restoration
process
and
I
urge
council
member
batra,
considering
he
comes
from
the
Indian
origin
to
take
the
leadership
here
and
show
some
leadership
in
this
in
this
map.
Thank
you.
Q
Paul
settle
from
the
Horseshoe
I'm
going
to
practice
what
I'm
going
to
say
from
a
quote
from
a
letter
from
a
Birmingham
Jail
that
was
written
by
Martin,
Luther
King
in
1963
and
I
quote.
Actually,
we
who
engage
in
non-violent
direct
action
are
not
the
creators
of
tension.
We
merely
bring
it
to
the
surface,
the
hidden
tension
that
is
already
alive.
Q
We
bring
it
out
in
the
open
where
it
can
be
seen
and
dealt
with
like
a
boil
that
can
never
be
cured
so
long
as
it
is
covered
up,
but
must
be
opened
with
all
its
ugliness
to
the
Natural
medicines
of
air
and
Light
Injustice
must
be
exposed
with
all
the
tension.
Its
exposure
creates
to
the
light
of
human
consciousness
and
the
air
of
rational
opinion
before
it
can
be
cured.
End
quote,
and
we
have
not
committed
ourselves
as
a
city
to
this
process.
Q
There
are
very
clear:
distinctive
articulated
consequences
of
redlining,
what
preceded
redlining
and
what
has
happened.
Post-Redline
generationally
in
terms
of
in
the
Realms
of
economics,
in
the
Realms
of
social
mobility,
in
the
Realms
of
political
power,
and
we
have
not
fully
articulated
those
because
there's
a
community
that
can
trace
its
lineage
to
the
1940
census
in
the
1950s
census,
and
that
is
that
Community
has
a
name
and
they
are
called
Chicanos
and
they
still
live
here.
They
do
there's
a
community
here
in
San
Jose
that
is
referenced
itself
as
Chicanos.
Q
AR
Hi
I'm
not
sure
what
happened
last
time.
Sorry
about
that
I
just
wanted
to
First
say
thank
you
to
council
member
Foley
for
bringing
up
the
questions
in
the
budget
question
area
for
the
mobile
home
Community.
It
means
a
lot
to
us
to
not
be
forgotten
it
that
this
time
around
we're
going
to
make
sure
that
we
cover
that.
So
thank
you.
I
just
wanted
to
make
a
brief
comment
regarding
the
the
questions
that
I
continuously
have,
which
is
that
we
keep
talking
about.
AR
You
know
homelessness
and
affordability
and
all
of
these
different
things,
but
I
would
just
love
to
talk
about
what
it
is.
That
does
create
stability
that
actually
works.
So
one
of
the
commenters,
you
know
so
poignantly
several
of
them
actually
discussing
what
brought
them
to
homelessness
or
what
brings
other
people
to
homelessness.
That
they're,
aware
of
and
I
know.
We
talk
a
lot
about
this,
but
I
I
really
wish.
AR
We
could
spend
a
little
time
on
what
also
creates
stability
and
I
can
tell
you
for
certain
that
the
fact
that
the
174
homes
in
my
mobile
home
park
that
are
owner
occupied
that
had
you
have
to
be
on
the
title
to
live
here.
They
are
not
allowed
to
be
rented
out,
and
that
was
one
of
the
only
ways
that
we
could
actually
purchase
and
buy.
AR
Something
was
because
we
weren't
competing
on
a
global
scale,
because
these
are
considered
Global,
Assets
Now,
we
lost
out
to
two
other
homes
and
another
mobile
home
park
from
a
foreign
buyer
was
going
to
buy
the
homes
and
rent
them
out,
and
so
we
have
to
ask
ourselves
what
is
it?
That's,
creating
stability
and
allowing
some
of
us
to
actually
stay?
