I
Thank
you
mayor.
Yes,
today
we,
this
is
our
last
invocation.
We
are
so
sad.
We
love
showcasing
just
the
breath
and
talent
of
district
eight,
and
so
today
we
are
going
to
end
with
a
bang
and
and
it's
part
of
our
overfelt
high
schools
club,
it's
la
raza
club
and
they're,
going
to
have
a
wonderful
video
as
well
as
jodi,
no
from
president
of
nustar
for
putting
together
another
wonderful,
video
and
together
you'll
see
what
I'm
talking
about.
I
This
is
part
of
our
mid
autumn
moon
festival
that
we're
going
to
miss
over
at
eastridge
this
year,
but
in
lou.
I
wanted
to
share
with
you
that
this
upcoming
thursday,
we'll
have
october
1st
marks
the
mid
autumn
moon
festival,
also
known
as
tetron
ii,
and
so
I
hope
that
you
all
can
celebrate,
buy
some
moon,
cakes
and
and
fall
back
to
this
video.
I
H

E
E
I
Well,
lastly,
I
just
wanted
to
thank
la
raza
club
at
overfelt
high
school,
for
putting
this
together.
All
that
videography
was
them
and,
of
course,
their
talent
is
theirs
and,
of
course,
judy
no
from
you
star
production.
I
know
that
we
are
all
very
much
yearning
to
come
together
and
dance
and
music
are
both
elements
that
we
all
really
cherish
from
each
other's
cultures.
So
I
look
forward
to
doing
that
again.
A
F
You
know
I
was
originally
going
to
talk
about
that
mayor.
I
just
you
know,
and
I
think
since
I
seconded
this,
I
guess
it's
it's.
I
think
I
guess
it's
all
tied
into
one
to
each
other.
So
so
I
understand
the
the
interest
of
of
you
know
limiting
common
things
of
that
nature.
I
know
we
have
to
move
these
meetings
along
and
folks
are
sitting
on
these
calls
for
for
for
a
very
long
time,
and
certainly
limiting
the
comments
for
council
members
to
15
minutes
is
one
way
of
doing
it.
F
I
just
I
guess
what
came
to
mind
for
me
is
just
when
we
hear
some
of
these
items
and
maybe
making
it
a
time
certain.
So
that
way,
some
of
these
items
that
we
know
are
going
to
garner
a
lot
of
public
interest
are
heard
sooner
rather
than
later.
I
just
think
there's
different
ways
to
manage
it
to
make
sure
that
folks
aren't
on
the
call
more
than
they
need
to
be,
and
so
that
was
my
interest,
and
I
think
you
know
this
motion
sort
of
brings
about
that
conversation,
but
and.
F
I
suspect
today's
meeting,
for
example,
was
probably
isn't
going
to
go
too
too
long.
I
expect
so.
This
is
maybe
more
applicable
to
some
of
these
longer
meetings
that
I
think
we
have
evening
session
and
such,
and
so
I
just
wanted
to
say
that
put
that
out
there
I
think,
there's
different
ways
to
potentially
manage
it.
So
some
of
the
folks
that
were
concerned
about
staying
on
the
phone
too
long
get
to
be
heard
much
sooner
than
they
unfortunately
have
been
in
the
last
few
meetings.
I
I
did
want
to
speak
on
an
ad
some
questions,
but
you
know,
I
know
that
my
colleagues
who
spoke
did
a
really
good
job
in
asking
some
of
the
and
making
some
really
good
points
and
asking
some
questions
that
I
also
had.
And
so
I
just
think
it's
it's
a
bit
unbalanced
when
we
don't
measure
ourselves
right
from
the
beginning
and
say,
let's
make
sure
that
our
comments
are
as
as
short
as
they
can
be,
but
from
the
beginning
of
the
meeting
and
not
trying
to
catch
up
at
the
end.
E
E
So
we're
hearing
three
items
as
one
and
so
to
limit
us
to
15
minutes
and
I'm
not
hoping
to
speak
longer
than
15
minutes,
but
to
limit
us
to
15
minutes
on
a
combination
of
three
items
doesn't
seem
right
to
me
and
I
think
that,
because
we
each
speak
except
for
the
mayor,
who
speaks
for
the
whole
city
because
we
each
represent
one
tenth
of
the
city.
We
need
to
have
the
opportunity
to
ask
those
questions
that
our
residents
want
to
hear.
Thank
you.
E
Yeah,
I
mean
I'd
be
open
to
that.
I
think
you
know
I
I
we
joke
about
the
pam,
fully
rule
that
we've
taken
in
the
past.
You
know,
and
I
think,
if
we
really
try
to
commit
ourselves
to
speaking
for
15
minutes,
but
again,
last
time
we
had
some
police
items
come
up.
We
spoke
for
a
lot
longer
because
these
are
really
important
issues
and
so
I'd
be
open
to
splitting
them
up,
and
that
would
give
us
each
a
maximum
of
45
minutes
to
speak
on
those
police
items.
E
D
L
E
E
Be
open
to
that
I
mean
I'd
like
to
hear
from
my
colleagues
I
do
you
know
I.
I
certainly
have
no
intention
to
speaking
longer
than
that
today.
I
just
think
that
these
are
really
important
items
and
and
we
we
should
have
discussion
on
them.
That's
all
I'd
be
open
to
that.
If
somebody
wanted
to
make
a
friendly
amendment,
I'd
be
open
to
it.
M
Yeah,
thank
you.
You
know,
I
agree.
We've
we've
had
this
conversation
a
number
of
times
now
and
we've
talked
about
trying
to
manage
our
own
speaking
time
better,
but
at
the
same
time
we
are
the
the
only
individuals
you
know,
elected
and
representative
of
our
districts
that
have
an
opportunity
to
speak
without
a
time
limit
on
these
items,
and
I
think
that's
really
important,
and
that
should
be
the
last
thing
that
we
try
to
limit.
M
G
M
M
M
For
instance,
you
speak
first,
you
use
up
your
15
minutes
and
then
the
rest
of
the
council
speaks,
and
there
was
something
in
there
that
you
wanted
to
be
able
to
respond
or
reply
to
when
we
time
limit
ourselves,
we
don't
we
don't
create
that
space
and
opportunity.
So
I
I
I,
but
I
don't
disagree
that
you
know
we
don't
want
to
continue
to
push
these
meetings
to
midnight
or
be
on
midnight
on
a
regular
basis
as
as
we
have
been
so.
I
would
like
to
find
some
other
means
to
try
and
get
there.
M
I
I
recognize
that
it
sounds
like
there
may
be
a
compromise
of
sorts
for
today
when
it
comes
to
these
two
items
that
are
combined,
4.1
and
4.2.
I
could
support
that.
I
think
that's
in
the
spirit
of
the
direction
from
the
rules
committee.
Anyways
of
last
week,
correct
mayor,
you
had
said
15
minutes
per
agendaized
item.
In
this
case,
4.1
and
4.2
are
individually
agendized
items
we're
just
kind
of
hearing
them
together.
M
A
Thank
you,
yeah.
Look,
I'm
I'm
fine.
If
that's
the
way
we
want
to
interpret
that
motion
would
be
15
minutes
per
per
item
because
we
don't
have
a
particularly
lengthy
agenda.
I
think
that's
that's
fine.
I
know
we
don't
want
to
spend
an
hour
talking
about
this
issue,
but
I
just
wanted
to
offer.
I
know
there
were
suggestions
that
perhaps
if
we
set
things
a
time
certain
that
would
be
better,
we
we've
been
doing
that
at
least
saying
not
before,
and
I
know
time
certain
would
be
different.
A
So
I
I
just
wanted
to
emphasize.
I
think,
we're
here
again.
I
think,
because
there's
a
recognition
that
we're
simply
not
as
human
beings,
terribly
good
regulators
of
ourselves
and
one
way
we
can
regulate
ourselves-
is
to
set
rules
for
ourselves
and
it's
certainly
not
anything
that
is
terribly
new
to
the
legislative
process.
After
all,
our
friends
and
colleagues
in
the
state
assembly
in
the
state
senate
and
the
united
states
house
of
representatives
and
the
united
states
senate
all
have
timelines.
A
In
fact,
timeliness
are
far
more
constrained
than
these
we're
about
to
pick
the
next
supreme
court
justice,
a
monumentally,
important
decision
for
our
country
and
every
one
of
those
senate
judiciary
committee
members
will
be
constrained
more
than
we
are
in
our
time.
So
I
know
we
think
we
have
important
decisions.
I
can
assure
you
you
can
get
to
answers
and
important
issues
both
by
doing
the
research
before
we
get
to
council,
but
also
making
sure
we're
focused
in
our
questions,
and
I
think
we
can
all
get
there.
A
I
know
we
think
it's
important
for
everybody
to
hear
us,
but
it's
more
important
for
us
to
hear
from
members
of
the
public
and
when
members
of
the
public
have
only
one
minute
to
speak,
because
we
have
taken
so
long
to
speak
ourselves.
That
is,
I
think,
is
significant
to
service
to
democracy.
So
I
am
supportive
of
time
limits
going
forward.
However,
we
may
interpret
it-
I
think,
is
subject
to
reasonable
views
about
how
we
might
do
it.
A
N
Yes,
thank
you.
You,
you
mentioned
a
lot
of
things
I
wanted
to
say,
but
I
think
on
this
topic.
You
know
I've
vacillated
back
and
forth
on
this
as
a
general
matter,
I
I
don't
I'm
someone
who
doesn't
think
that
council
members
should
be
limited
in
their
time,
because
we
are
the
elected
officials
and-
and
I
do
believe
that
I
started
from
the
premise
that
the
public
comment
period
is
not
the
only
time
for
the
public
to
engage
with
the
council.
N
This
they
get
one
or
two
minutes
depending
on
the
council
meeting,
but
we
do
get
their
emails.
They
can
ask
to
meet
with
us
at
city
hall
in
a
previous
era,
but
they
still
get
to
engage
with
us
at
community
meetings
and
over
zoom,
and
so
their
only
opportunity
is
not
through
the
one
or
two
minutes
of
public
comment.
However,
I've
kind
of
come
around
to
this.
N
So
so
I
do
see
some
practical
limitations
in
the
time.
Certain
thing
what
we've
been
doing
is
will
be
heard
not
before
5
pm
or
5
or
before
6
pm,
and
then
the
public
comes
and
they
tune
in
at
6
thinking.
It
will
start
at
6,
but
we're
still
just
finishing
orders
of
the
day
and
breaking
for
dinner,
and
then
we
have
the
whole
agenda
before
us
and
then
we
don't
get
to
the
item
the
big
ticket
item.
N
Everyone
wants
to
hear
until
9,
10
11
at
night,
at
which
point
everyone
is,
is
trying
to
rush
and
we're
limiting
public
comment
to.
You
know
one
minute:
each
which
is
not
great
for
the
public,
and
although
I
understand
that
they
have
other
means
of
public
commenting
and
engaging,
I
can
certainly
understand
the
frustration
of
somebody
who's
been
sitting
and
watching
a
meeting
for
hours
waiting
for
their
one
or
two
minutes
and
then
only
getting
at
the
end.
N
So
I
just
put
that
out
there,
and
I
you
know,
I'm
I'm
okay
with
the
time
limits,
because
I
recognize
the
only
practical
way
to
do
it
is,
is
to
limit
ourselves
and
be
strict
about
it.
Although
I
don't
like
the
idea,
I
just
don't
see
how
we
get
around
it,
given
the
amount
that
the
public
tries
to
comment
on
some
of
these
items
and
and
we
as
council
members,
sometimes
on
our
own
social
media-
have
have
encouraged
people
to
come.
N
Come
talk
now,
come
post
now
we're
about
to
debate
it
and
we
encourage
the
public
comment
and
we
encourage
the
flow
of
that
at
drawing
the
meetings
longer
so
I'll
I'll
support
this.
However,
the
council
feels,
but
I
do
think
we
should
be
more
mindful
and-
and
it
doesn't
have
to
be
15
minutes
to
me
it
could
be
longer,
but
we
should
be.
There
should
be
some
mindfulness
and
perhaps
even
having
some
other
rules
about
not
ending
at
midnight
and
continuing
on
to
the
next
day
or
something.
M
Yes,
I'm
I'm
the
one
who
made
the
motion
in
the
rules
committee
and
the
reason
why
I
made
the
motion
is
because,
strictly
because
we
have
not
been
policing
ourselves
and
not
if
I
had
a
dollar
for
every
time,
I
heard.
Let
me
restate
this
or
I
don't
want
to
be
the
dead
horse,
but
so
I
have
to
say
we're
doing
a
horrible
job
policing
ourselves.
M
Many
of
the
questions
you
know
and
could
easily
been
have
have
been
asked
prior
to
the
meeting
of
research
prior
and
so
so
that's
why
I
made
the
motion
I'm
willing
to
to
go
along
with
the
the
compromise,
my
council
member,
as
far
as
mentioned,
because
that
was
the
motion
15
minutes
per
item
that
I
made
and
I
think
we
should
stick
to
it
permanently.
I
I
don't
see
a
reason
why
we
can.
M
O
O
Okay,
I
I
appreciate
the
desire
to
limit
our
conversation,
each
council,
member
to
15
minutes
and-
and
I
would
support
a
motion
that
limited
to
15
minutes.
I've
said
this
before
I
said
it
over
a
year
ago,
actually,
and
that's
why
it
became
the
the
foley
amendment
or,
however,
you
want
to
call
it
is
that
I
frankly
turn
into
a
pumpkin
around
10
o'clock,
and
that's
because
I
get
up
really
early
and
I
stay
and
I'm
not
a
night
owl.
O
So
when
we
are
making
really
important
decisions
on
anti-displacement
last
year
or
last
year,
it
feels
like
last
year,
it's
very
difficult
to
have
a
robust
conversation,
because
we're
really
tired
we're
it.
We've
been
in
a
in
the
case
of
last
week,
we've
been
in
a
council
meeting
from
nine
o'clock
until
midnight
actually
longer
than
that
with
not
the
normal
breaks
that
we
normally
normally
have
because
things
backed
up
longer
than
usual,
and
that
makes
it
very
difficult.
O
Colleagues
and
frankly,
I
think
we
can
get
our
work
done
in
15
minutes
if
we
listen
to
each
other
and
we
respond
and
we're
sensitive
to
the
amount
of
time
that
we're
taking,
but
truthfully
the
there
are
other
ways
that
we
can
manage
this
meeting
too,
and
they
are
limiting
the
length
of
presentations
made
by
staff
staff
takes
a
lot
of
time,
putting
together
presentations
which
are
really
good,
but
at
times
they
go
on
too
long.
So
that's
one
way
we
could
limit
the
discussion.
O
I
want
to
talk
about
the
time
certain
and
the
complications
with
time
certain
as
council
member
deep
said
that
if
we
say
three
o'clock
time
certain
we're
going
to
discuss
an
item,
then
whatever
we
were
discussing
up
until
then
has
to
stop
at
three,
which
opens
us
up
for
rehashing
the
issue
again
when
we
bring
it
back
to
the
table,
which
would
then
could
potentially
result
in
us
extending
the
debate
when
we
would
have
had
the
debate
completed.
If
we
didn't
have
time
certain,
there
are
other
ways
to
do
meeting
management.
O
I
don't
know
that
hashing
it
out
here
is
the
best
way
to
do
it,
but
clearly
we're
all
sensitive
to
long
meetings
and
how
they
are
affecting
us.
But
personally,
I
think
it
affects
our
decision-making
skills
if
we
are
trying
to
make
a
decision
on
a
really
complicated
issue
at
11
o'clock
and
then
rushing
the
decision,
because
we
don't
have
enough
time
to
debate
it
fully
because
we're
hitting
up
to
our
bumping
up
to
our
our
moratorium
on
meetings.
O
P
Q
Q
E
So
I
I
would
be
willing
to
accept
that
for
today's
meeting
I
think
again
I
mean
I
I
I,
and
so
I
accept
it
for
today's
meeting.
I
just
want
to
say
that
it
is
important
for
us
to
deliberate
in
public
that,
yes,
I
do
a
lot
of
work
before
like
we
all
do.
We
all
do
a
lot
of
work
before
the
council
meeting.
We
talk
to
staff,
we
talk
to
constituents,
we
talk
to
residents
through
the
city.
E
It's
important
for
the
public
to
hear
us
deliberate
it
just
it
is,
and
we're
not
congress
we're
we're
the
body
that
is
closest
to
the
residents
of
our
city,
and
so
so
I
accept
that
and
I
and
I
will
endeavor
to
speak
for
15
minutes
or
less
on
items,
but
I
just
I
caution
us
that
you
know
I.
I
hope
that
we
can
do
a
combination
of
tools
that
are
available
to
us
and
knowing
that
sometimes
we
aren't
a
global
pandemic.
E
I
E
I'd
accept
that
I
think
it
doesn't
happen
very
often,
but
we
occasionally
had
had
a
couple
of
motions
and
amendments,
and
I
think,
last
week
we
were
we
pretty
much
for
the
most
part
agreed
on
a
lot
of
things,
because
we
were
able
to
tack
on
amendments
and
have
discussions
and
move
an
item
forward.
I'd
accept
that.
J
Okay.
Okay,
thank
you
for
that
clarification.
I
all
right,
I'm
just
going
to
leave
it
at
that,
because
you
know
the
the
only
concern
that
I
have
council.
Colleagues
is
that
you
know
I.
I
don't
think
I
need
to
remind
you
that
in
some
areas
of
our
city
folks,
have
you
know
the
kind
of
savviness
to
get
on
counsel
express
themselves.
They
have
the
time
they
have
the
connection.
J
I
just
I
just
request
that
we
really
take
into
account
those
days
that
if,
in
fact,
we
go
a
little
bit
beyond
the
pumpkin
hour
council
member
foley,
I
get
you
because
I'm
up
at
the
very
early
hours
trying
to
get
my
kiddos
connected
to
their
schoolwork
and
it's
it's
a
heck
of
a
of
a
day.
For
me
as
well
that
we
we
institute
the
policy
that
we
already
have,
which
is
to
roll
it
over
for
the
next
day,
and
I
know
that
that's
a
really
tough
thing
to
do.
J
We've
only
done
it
a
couple
of
times
since
I've
been
on
city
council,
and
we
did
so
because
you
know
working
until
one
or
two
in
the
morning
was
just
turning
our
brains
into
motion.
It
was
becoming
very,
very
difficult
to
sort
out
the
debate
and
the
and
the
issues
that
were
at
hand.
So
yeah,
you
know
if
11
o'clock
or
12
o'clock
is
is,
is
is
getting
to
be
difficult.
Given
that
you
know,
zoom
is
very,
very
it's
very
challenging
for
the
brain.
J
Our
brains
were
not
meant
to
sit
in
front
of
a
light
bulb
for
16
17
18
hours,
so
if
we
need
to
move
it
back
during
those
very
difficult
days,
I
say
we
consider
that.
Maybe
it's
not
today,
but
I
say
we
think
about
it
and
and
we
think
about
rolling
it
back
to
10
p.m.
Maybe,
and
then
we
take
it
back
up
at
9,
00
or
10
a.m,
the
following
days.
So
anyway,
that's
my
my
my
two
cents
but
I'll
support.
The
motion.
J
That's
on
the
floor
today,
because
it's
not
a
permanent
50
minute
limit,
not
because
I
enjoy
keeping
entertained,
but
because
I
do
think
that
it's
important
for
for
those
of
us
who
need
to
speak
up
for
the
residents
that
can't
connect
and
can't
weigh
in
we
have
to.
We
have
to
be
able
to
express
what
our
residents
are
unable
to
do
so
at
times.
Thank
you.
R
A
A

D

A

D
A
A
R
All
right,
thank
you
here
we
go
with
item
2.7
as
you've
lined
up
a
lawyer
with
hopefully
good
advice
on
the
future
of
local
community
energy
procurement.
Issues.
To
note
now
is
the
time
for
new
ass
by
local
community
energy
across
the
entire
sfba
area
for
nuclear
energy
usage
in
the
spring
of
2021..
R
and
how
to
address
cobit,
19
and
more
positive
sustainable
ways
at
this
time.
I
would
also
simply
like
to
thank
what
I
hope
can
be
the
continual
decent
minded
thinking
and
good
ideas
and
good
work
at
the
state
level
towards
funding
initiatives
and
the
uses
of
the
cares
and
heroes
acts.
Cobit
19
was
apos
with
his
possible.
Man-Made
designs
is
simply
not
our
fault
at
the
local
level
and
we
shouldn't
have
to
be
held
responsible
for
its
burdens
at
the
local
level
either.
R
R
All
the
planners
of
cobit
19
must
be
held
accountable
and
not
allow
this
sort
of
practice
to
happen
again
and
at
this
point,
accountability
must
include
the
united
states
that,
by
all
accounts,
has
probably
had,
in
the
very
least,
a
very
important
secondary
role
in
the
development
of
cobit
19..
It
is
from
this.
A
All
right
back
to
the
council
on
the
consent
calendar.
I
will
just
note
the
211
is
a
conflict
of
interest
code
by
annual
update,
which
reminds
me,
I
believe,
under
the
charter.
We're
actually
probably
do
for
a
biennial
ethics
discussion,
so
nora
and
the
council.
I
think
we'll
be
talking
about
that
in
the
weeks
ahead
as
well.
Norah,
I'm
sorry
yeah.
D
A
A
H
So
quick,
quick
comment:
is
it's
important
for
city
council
members
to
remember
that
they're
actually
doing
a
job
we
get?
You
have
families
but
you're
here
to
do
a
job
and
as
long
as
you're
getting
paid
from
taxpayers,
you
need
to
stay.
You
need
to
not
say
things
like.
I
prefer
expediency
over
transparency.
I
hope
to
never
hear
a
city
council
member
say
that
again.
Thank
you.
E
E
B
E
R
A
All
right,
the
the
joint
city,
san
jose
council
financing
authority
agenda
is
also
included
for
today.
I'll
call
the
call
to
order
the
meeting
the
joint
council
and
financing
authority
amendment
one
I'm
sorry
item:
one
is
an
amendment
to
certain
agreements
related
to
the
interim
financing
program,
finance
capital
improvements
at
the
regional
wastewater
facility.
A
O
M
C
A
S
S
More
recently,
there
was
a
modernization
of
the
business
tax
that
came
forward
to
the
voters
in
2016
and
was
approved
there.
Currently
there
are
approximately
95
000
businesses
that
are
registered
with
the
city
of
that
21
000
are
approved
for
an
exemption
and
I'll
note
that
of
those
21
000
approved
exemptions,
the
overwhelming
majority
of
them
being
15.
000
of
them
are
exempt
for
financial
hardship
reasons.
S
The
going
into
the
current
year.
We
anticipated
a
revenue
reduction
due
to
the
covert
19
pandemic
and
the
impact
on,
and
so
here
you
can
see
that
we
had
a
eight
percent
reduction
from
last
year's
estimate
to
this
year's
adopted
budget.
I
will
also
mention
that
the
twenty
000
approved
exemptions
accounts
for
between
four
and
five
million
dollars
of
revenue,
that's
foregone
because
of
those
exemptions,
so
to
provide
a
little
bit
of
background
on
our
existing
financial
hardship
program.
S
S
So,
building
upon
the
existing
exemptions,
the
action
before
you
today
is
to
temporarily
expand
the
financial
hardship
exemption.
The
expansion
would
remove
the
need
for
a
business
to
fit
into
the
small
business
definition
and
allow
any
business
type
or
structure
to
apply
for
the
exemption
so
long
as
their
revenue
or
income
is
below
the
set
guidelines.
S
S
It's
estimated
that
this
expansion
would
benefit
upwards
of
six
thousand
businesses
and
impact
the
city's
revenue
by
1.35
million
dollars
over
the
duration
of
the
temporary
expansion.
It's
worth
noting
that
there
is
no
cap
to
the
exemption.
So
if
there
are
in
fact
10
000
businesses
that
qualify
based
upon
the
income
requirements,
we
would
approve
all
ten
thousand.
S
There
are
some
other
procedural
modifications
that
we're
making
the
finance
department
is
making
these
changes
to
ease
restrictions
for
pre-qualifying
businesses,
for
financial
hardship,
exemptions
and
proactively
lengthening
repayment
terms.
These
actions
do
not
require
the
action
of
the
city
council,
but
are
being
presented
for
awareness
of
all
the
changes
that
we're
making
to
help
support
businesses
qualify
for
an
exemption
and
spread
payments
over
a
longer
period
of
time.
S
The
first
modification
is
to
use
the
anticipated
income
for
2020,
rather
than
relying
on
the
prior
year.
Tax
return.
For
obviously
obvious
reasons.
The
2019
tax
returns
will
not
reflect
the
2020
economic
activity
of
many
businesses,
so
we
wanted
to
make
changes
to
the
process
for
how
we
pre-qualify
exemptions
I'll
share
a
quick
example
of
of
how
to
illustrate
a
business
that
may
benefit
from
this
expansion.
S
So
a
landlord
earning,
say
2500
per
month
in
rental
income
would
normally
not
qualify
for
a
financial
hardship
exemption
because
their
annual
gross
receipts
is
thirty
thousand
dollars.
However,
due
to
high
unemployment,
due
to
the
copa
19
pandemic,
the
tenant
may
have
missed
two
or
more
months
of
rent.
As
a
result,
the
landlord's
gross
receipts
for
2020
would
be
below
the
exemption
threshold
and
they
can
qualify
for
financial
hardship
exemption.
S
S
S
We
have
staff
on
board
that
are
certified
and
bilingual
in
both
spanish
and
vietnamese,
and
they
are
our
primary
resources
to
assist
on
on
the
phones.
We've
also
trained
staff
that
are
not
certified
to
use
a
language
line
solution
for
interpretation
services
to
help
customers
in
the
event
that
they
do
not
speak
english.
S
A
R
All
right,
thank
you.
Thank
you
for
patiently
listening
to
my
words
of
public
comment
in
my
previous
item.
You
know,
I
I
mean
those
words
not
to
be
hostile
and
not
to
be.
You
know
a
shock
for
shock
value
at
all.
I
really
want
to
you
know,
speak
about
how
to
have
you
know
open
dialogue
and
conversation
about
the
subjects,
and
I
really
want
to
practice
how
to
do
that.
R
Well,
and
I'm
sorry
that
I
took
a
little
extra
time
and
I
thank
you
for
your
patience
with
that
on
to
this
item.
You
know
from
my
previous
public
comment.
You
know
they.
I
really
did
try
to
speak
to
you
also
what
the
incredibly
good
work
that's
going
on
at
the
state
level
you
know
with.
I
think
it
was
1438
if
that
was
the
measure,
a
lot
of
measures
that
ash
karo
was
working
on,
and
david
chu
together
and
many
in
in
the
bay
area.
R
Many
state
legislators
in
the
bay
area.
They
were
working
on
really
impressive
ideas
and
what
they
ended
up.
Getting
stuck
with
was
with
compromising
with
was
with
3088
and
that's
what
I
was
trying
to
to
to
speak
about
is
that
you
know
ash
karo
is
working
really
good
systems
and
ideas,
and
and
yourselves
at
this
time,
have
made
your
own
remarkable
efforts.
R
O
S
So
if
it's
a
business
that
had
to
renew
in
september
upon
approving
their
exemption
this
year
next
year,
we
would
verify
what
their
2020
taxes
were
in
the
event
that
they
made
more
money
than
the
threshold
allows.
We
would
bill
them
for
the
business
tax
for
the
2020
year,
but
we
would
not
apply
any
penalty
or
interest
to
that
amount
so
long
as
they
pay
the
base
amount
that
they
owe
within
30
days
of
receiving
that
renewal
bill.
O
S
So
the
notification
we
our
plan
is
to
have
it
available
both
on
our
website,
as
well
as
on
our
phone
system.
So
if
a
business
is
calling
to
to
talk
with
the
representative,
we
have
pre-recorded
messages
that
we
will
be
promoting
this
program
and
then
once
they've
applied
for
it
they
would
no
longer
have
to
pay
for
this
year.
We
would,
we
would
pre-qualify
them
automatically
it's
not
until
the
next
year,
when
their
renewal
comes
up,
that
we
would
verify
their
their
2020
taxes.
O
Thank
you:
is
it
possible
to
be
a
little
poor,
more
proactive
from
the
city
side
as
far
as
notification
that
this
amnesty
program
exists?
I
know
as
a
small
business
owner
in
san
jose.
I
get
notifications
quite
often
from
the
city
about
small
business
programs
that
are
being
offered
right
now,
particularly
in
in
covid.
So
is
it?
Is
there
a
possibility
that
we
might
be
able
to
use
that
email
list
that
we
have
to
notify
people
that
they
might
qualify
for
amnesty
for
the
2020
year,
because.
H
O
Know
that
you
know
small
businesses
and
you
you
picked
one.
I
was
going
to
ask
an
exam
for
an
example,
but
you
picked
one
that
is
really
going
to
be
hurt
by
a
lack
of
income
and
that's
landlords,
especially
mon
paw
landlords,
as
their
tenants
are
not
able
to
pay
them.
Rent
they're,
also
not
able
to
pay
the
business
license
tax.
So
I'm
wondering
and
they've
expressed
that
as
a
concern
to
us,
sometimes
at
the
council
meeting.
So
how
will
we
get
the
word
out
to
all
of
our
member?
S
Yeah
two
thoughts
on
that.
I
just
want
to
one
clarify
that
this
is
an
expansion
of
our
financial
hardship
exemption
rather
than
an
amnesty
program.
We
are
just
wrapping
up
an
amnesty
program
that
we
had
going
on
for
12
months,
so
I
just
want
to
clarify
that
this
is
something
different,
but
absolutely
we
could
we
can
leverage
the
email
addresses
that
are
in
our
database
and
and
do
a
blast
to
get
information
out
to
those.
S
M
Yeah,
I
merely
wanted
to
thank
staff
for
their
their
thoughtfulness,
and
I
hate
to
see
all
our
nail.
Salons
and
hair
stylists
and
aestheticians
who've
been
forced
to
stay
closed,
get
punished
yet
again
and
I'd
hate
for
our
city
to
be
the
cause
of
them
going
out
of
business
being
a
last
straw.
So
I
am
I'm
very
supportive
of
this
and
I
think
I
thank
you
for
your
efforts
to
to
be
forward.
Looking
thanks.
A
A
H
H
The
problem
that
I
have
is
the
metric
that's
being
used.
The
metric
that's
being
used
is
the
poverty
level,
okay,
and
that
seems
like
it's
just
a
generalized
term.
Oh
okay,
we're
just
measuring
it
against
the
poverty
level.
When
was
that
poverty
level
rate
made
you
see,
that's
the
problem
is
that
the
math
is
skewed,
because
it's
not
taken
into
consideration
today's
dollars.
H
I
can
guarantee
you
that
that
metric,
that's
being
used
in
terms
of
determining
the
poverty
level
is
1970s
and
the
the
person
that
gave
the
presentation
didn't
state
when
what
poverty
level,
what
date
was
that
poverty
level
made
by
which
the
the
income
of
the
person
is
measured?
That's
number
one
number
two.
H
Is
that
there's
like
what
k
mister
said
right
now
that
he
would
hate
to
see
salons
and
all
these
people
suffer
because
of
what
has
happened,
what
what
the
city
is
doing
to
them
sitting
ain't
doing
nothing
to
them.
This
is
covered.
People
are
dying.
People
are
dying
on
the
streets
right
now
right
now,
I'm
in
the
streets,
I'm
I've
been
homeless
for
about
four
weeks.
That's
why
I've
been
out
of
circulation.
I've
been
homeless
for
four
weeks
on
the
street,
I've
been
inside
every
single
one
of
these
south
hall.
H
S
A
S
A
And
the
two
thresholds
are
two
times
the
poverty
level
for
one
and
four
times
the
quality
level
for
another.
Is
that
right,
correct?
Okay?
I
think
we
all
agree.
It's
a
very
problematic
measure,
particularly
at
a
very
expensive,
high
rent
area
like
this
one,
but
it
is
what
it
is
and
we
have
to
try
to
find
the
best
approximation.
We
can
council
my
awareness.
I
Thank
you
mayor.
I
was
wondering
why
do
what
I'm
concerned
about?
Is
that
that
most
of
our
businesses,
that
that
just
got
obliterated,
are
you
know,
probably
called
it
quits
and
are
just
not
going
to
are
not
open
for
business
may
not
even
think
about
reopening
for
business
as
they.
You
know
where,
as
they
look
at
recovery-
and
I
wonder
if
we
could
at
some
point
consider
some
of
those
businesses
that
might
have
closed
but
now
are
are,
are
reopening
again
or
closed
during
this.
S
No,
no
I'll
clarify
that
it
is
not
a
first
come
first
serve
so
any
business
that
meets
the
qualifications
and
relates
the
income
kind
income
can
qualify.
We
estimate
that
that's
a
will
be
around
6
000
businesses,
but,
as
I
mentioned,
if,
if
10
000
businesses
came
forward
and
and
met
that
threshold,
we
would
approve
10
000.
I
Sure,
so,
no
matter
what
what
those
bus
who
and
what
those
businesses
are-
and
that's
my
point-
my
point-
is
that
we
should
have
some
consideration
or
some
some
inventory,
some
spaces
that
that
we
could
afford.
Some
of
these
businesses
have
closed
up
and
that
might
want
to
start
back
up
again
in
a
couple
of
months,
or
so
I
don't
know
how
long
you
project
having
these
9
000
businesses
apply
for.
Is
it
all
in
a
different?
Is
it
all
at
once
when
they
pay
for
their
business
license.
I
Bill
got
it
okay,
so
it's
based
on
on
their
renault,
not
basic,
not
our
specific
cycle
bottom
line.
I
just
think
that
we
need
to
have
some
some
level
of
of
consideration
for
some
of
the
businesses
that
have
just
been
like,
I
said
obliterated.
Their
clothes
are
not.
It
doesn't
look
like
they're
coming
back
online,
but
for
whatever
reason,
maybe
two
three
months
later,
they
decided
to
reopen.
I
C
I
Awesome.
Okay!
Well,
you
know
I
I'd
love
to
hear
from
the
rest
of
my
colleagues,
but
I
I
just
think
that
there
should
be
some
level
of
consideration
for
businesses
that
are
reapplying
for
business
license
tax
and
I
know
they.
They
may
not
be
active
right
now
and
they
may
not
be
reapplying,
but
we
don't
know
like
three
four
months
from
now.
They
want
to
do
this
and
it
might
be
just
a
burden
on
them,
but
we
love
to
see
we
love
to
see
more
small
businesses
there
there.
I
H
G
Yeah
thank
you
mayor
and,
and
thank
you
paul
as
well,
paul
soto.
We
missed
you
and
now
I
understand
why
you've
been
gone
but
appreciate
your
voice.
I
think
it's
been
missed
for
the
last
number
of
weeks
and-
and
I
actually
have
had
this
conversation
with
staff
before
in
regards
to
the
use
of
national
guidelines-
national
poverty
guidelines,
as
as
we
utilize
those
for
thresholds
here
locally.
G
G
But
the
challenge
we
have
here
is
that
we
know
the
cost
of
living
in
the
silicon
valley
is
not
at
all
comparable
to
many
other
average
cities
across
the
country
and
and
we're
really
an
outlier.
Quite
frankly,
and
so
I
I
would
agree
that
that
that's
it's
a
challenging
number
to
use
a
challenging
threshold
to
use
or
to
accept
that
that
that's,
what
we
use
is
a
staffer
has
staff
and
contemplated
sort
of
any
other
metric
or
or
multiplier
to
this
threshold
I
mean.
Is
that
obviously
the
consideration
for
double?
D
So
so,
council
member,
this
is
julia
cooper,
so
yeah
I
mean
you're
right
and
when
we
modernize
the
business
tax
we
did
add
the
four
times
threshold
for
household
income.
I
mean
it's
clearly
something
that
we
could
go
back
and
research.
I
think
we
like
to
use
this
national
poverty
level,
because
it's
an
easy
metric
for
us,
but
to
your
point
the
multiplier
may
be
what's
challenging
to
us,
and
so
it
is
something
that
we
could
theoretically
go
back
and
look
at
and
make
a
model.
D
You
know,
make
a
recommendation
in
the
future
to
maybe
re-examine
those
threshold
limits
but
understand
that
it
also
then
impacts
the
revenue
coming
into
the
city
and
that
revenue
is
really
key
to
providing
the
services
to
the
community.
So
obviously,
there's
a
trade-off,
and
we
think
right
now
is
this
program
kind
of
creates
a
balance
for
us
while
helping
the
small
businesses
and
not
severely
impacting
the
revenue
that
we
get
the
26
odd
million
dollars.
G
You
know,
generate
that
much
revenue,
and-
and
so
I
I
don't
think
we
should
be
concerned
about
maybe
some
loss
of
revenue
when
that
revenue
is
coming
off
of
extremely
poor
families.
I
think
that's
right,
that's
what
the
hardship
exemption
is
meant
for.
It's
meant,
for
you
know,
individuals
that
aren't
generating
much.
I
recognize
this
is
unique,
because
what
we're
talking
about
here
is
specific
to
the
pandemic
and
specific
to
smaller
businesses.
So
this
is
not
necessarily
maybe
the
place
to
to
try
and
and
fix
the
multiplier
or
the
threshold.
G
I
will
you
know
I
will
be
voting
in
favor
of
this
again.
This
is
sort
of
a
unique
one-off,
but
but
I
think
it
has,
you
know
the
utilizing
this
threshold
of
a
national.
You
know
poor
exemptions
of
a
national
statistic
in
regards
to
poverty,
guidelines
and
income.
I
think,
does
not
necessarily
match
up
well
with
identifying
the
families
or,
in
this
case,
small
businesses
that
really
need
the
help.
Thanks.
I
Thank
you.
So
I
I'm
going
to
make
an
amendment
a
friendly
amendment.
I
think
councilman
portfolio,
you,
you
have
the
motion
on
the
floor
and
I'd
like
for
businesses
to
be
considered
for
an
exemption
if
they
begin
that
particular
business,
maybe
six
months
after
closure
date
just
so
that
we
can
afford
those
businesses
that
were
obliterated
now,
an
opportunity
to
take
advantage
of
this
program
later.
I
O
S
Council
members,
if
I
will
just
wait-
and
I
I
think,
thinking
about
a
business
that
was
forced
to
close
temporarily
for
three
or
six
months
and
is
now
getting
back
into
the
business.
Those
are
the
exact
businesses
that
we're
trying
to
target
with
this
expansion
and
and
the
modifications
to
our
pre-qualification
and
looking
at
their
2020
taxes
or
anticipated
income
rather
than
their
2019
income.
S
So
so
those
businesses,
unless
they
officially
closed
out
their
business
with
the
secretary
of
state,
california,
would
still
be
on
our
schedule
for
renewal
in
our
business
tax
system
and
and
when
that
time
comes
up,
they
would
be
able
to
apply
for
this
expanded
financial
hardship
program.
As
it's
designed.
S
Even
if
yeah
so
so,
the
plan
is
to
have
this
go
through
september
of
next
year,
so
every
business.
So
we
have
12
billing
cycles
and
between
now
and
next
year
every
business
will
receive
a
bill
and
if
they
had
a
financial
hardship,
if
they
want
to
apply
for
it,
they
could
do
it
at
that
time.
They
received
their
bill.
So
so,
even
if
it's
in
may
of
next
year,
they
can
still
take
advantage
of
this
program.
O
S
Correct
incorrect
and
even
brand
new
businesses
that
haven't
started
yet
and
if
they're
they're
going
to
resume
business,
they
they
can
apply
for
exemptions.
We
have
businesses
that
start
and
register
with
the
city
every
day
that
apply
for
exemptions,
financial
hardship,
exemptions
just
because
they
anticipate
their
income
being
at
a
certain
level
and-
and
we
would
grant
those
going
forward
as
well
for
new
business.
I
Yeah
I
said
and
councilmember
foley.
My
concern
was
that
you
know,
since
this
is
a
covet
impacted
response
to
businesses,
that
there
would
be
some
preference
for
those
that
are
struggling
the
most,
and
so
I'm
glad
that
that
the
system
currently
will
will
allow
for
that
to
happen.
I
I
think
I've
also
asked
about
the
zip
codes
and
any
priority
for
that.
I
I
just
from
from
here
on
when
we
have
coveted
impacted
programs
that
support
either
our
residents
or
our
businesses.
I
I
think
we
always
have
to
keep
in
mind
those
zip
codes
that
are
most
impacted
by
this
this
pandemic
and
those
businesses.
Would
you
would
stand
to
reason
that
those
businesses
in
those
zip
codes
would
then
have
a
higher
impact
and
then
therefore
have
higher
priority,
and
so
that
that
is
ultimately
my
my
point
with
this
request.
I'm
glad
it's
integrated
now,
but
I
think
it's
something
that
we
need
to
continue
to
think
about
and
plan
for
as
we
prepare
for
a
part
of
recovery.
E
Yeah
I'll
be
quick.
I
I
support
the
motion
on
the
floor.
I
just
wanted
to
appreciate
council
member
paralysis,
bringing
up
the
income
limits
and
to
that
end
I
just
wanted
to
remind
folks
that
30
ami,
for
example,
when
we
talk
about
that
when
we're
talking
about
housing,
30
percent
ami
for
a
family
of
four,
is
47
350..
E
D
F
D
F
N
D
A
Hi
I
want
to
take
an
unusual
step
now.
I
want
to
apologize.
I
believe
that
larry
ames
is
still
attending
with
us
yeah.
I
do
see
him
and
larry
is
the
devoted
husband
47
years,
I'm
sorry
42
years
of
of
with
ames
and
has
just
lost
her
and
we
had
had
an
adjournment,
I
believe
scheduled
them.
I'm
sorry,
I
wasn't
aware
of
it.
F
F
So,
coming
quickly
after
a
nine-month
battle
with
pancreatic
cancer,
liv
is
survived
by,
as
you
mentioned,
her
husband
of
42
years
larry
ames,
who
we
all
know
so
well.
Their
sons,
grandkids
and
sister
marita,
alterhog
irving
of
norfolk,
england
and
her
younger
brother,
odd,
gunnar
alterhog
of
also
norway
liv
was
born.
Liv
was
born
in
on
december
5th,
1947
to
odd
and
in
great
alterhog
of
maureena
norway
about
20
miles
of
the
arctic
circle,
and
it
was.
F
It
was
stated
in
the
family
folklore
that
it
was
so
cold
there
that,
according
to
the
family
story,
her
father's
hat
froze
to
the
table
in
the
nursery.
When
he
went
to
go,
see
his
baby
daughter
and
in
1976
she
came
to
the
u.s
to
accept
the
job,
offer
a
microbiology
lab
at
the
university
of
wisconsin
in
madison.
F
F
two
weeks
before
she
had
she
had
to
return
to
norway,
doing
it
due
to
an
expired
visa,
live
love,
biking
and
during
one
of
her
college
breaks
she
bikes
from
trunderheim
idolsvall,
roughly
300
miles
and
10
000
feet
climb
through
the
norwegian
mountains.
On
two-speed
bike
later
she
joined
larry
on
numerous
bicycling
locations,
including
a
nearly
600-mile
tour
of
new
england,
a
trip
from
vancouver
british
columbia
to
portland,
from
minneapolis
to
milwaukee
pittsburgh
to
d.c
and
numerous
places
around
california
and,
as
a
matter
of
fact,
her
last
biking.
F
Vacation
at
the
age
of
69
was
a
250
mile
ride
from
scranton
pennsylvania
to
new
york
city
and
on
her
72nd
birthday,
she
won
on
a
25
mile
evening
ride
to
attend
a
bike
club
party.
She
loved,
exploring
love,
skiing
and
the
other
thing.
I've
noticed
that
she
loved
nature,
exploring
it
working
to
preserve
it
and
teaching
others
about
it.
She
regularly
volunteered
for
the
mid
peninsula,
open
space
district
in
skyline
ridge,
open
space,
preserve
as
a
nature
docent
and
as
a
leader
of
field
trips
for
elementary
school-aged
children.
F
She
enjoyed
her
uniqueness
of
being
one
of
just
a
few
thousand
norwegian
women
here,
but
gave
that
up
and
joined
100
million
other
american
women
who
could
express
their
opinions
tangibly
by
voting
and
live
loved,
her
family
and
led
a
full
and
meaningful
life,
and
she
will
truly
be
missed
and
our
thoughts
and
prayers
go
out
to
to
the
family
and,
of
course,
to
larry.
Thank
you.
A
D
Many
community
meetings
and
events-
she
wasn't
a
big
talker,
but
she
was
always
she
always
had
a
quiet
smile
for
me
and
I
just
want
to
to
extend
my
deepest
condolences
to
you
larry
and
to
your
sons
and
family
for
this
devastating
loss
and
and
thank
councilmember
jimenez
for
this.
This
adjournment,
pancreatic
cancer
has
also
has
also
touched
my
family,
and
I
just
I
feel
very
deeply
for
for
what
you're
you've
been
going
through.
A
A
A
Thank
you,
one.

M
Rehashing
the
letter
other
than
to
say
that
there
was
another
letter
that
was
somewhat
scathing,
and
I
hope
that,
as
we
proceed
on
this
subject,
that
we
can
refrain
from
name
calling
and
calling
people
racist
and
that
sort
of
thing.
In
regard
to
that,
because
my
point
has
always
been
to
look
out
for
the
little
guy,
especially
here
in
gardiner
and
as
you
know,
with
the
high-speed
rail
situation,
I've
tried
to
save
homes.
M
It's
for
commercial
neighborhood,
and
that
was
to
protect
us
to
be
able
to
keep
the
store
that
we
had
here
for
many
years
the
store
became
unviable.
I
know
that
people
said
that.
Well,
it's
it
should
have
been
sold
long
ago,
but
mary,
the
owner,
didn't
put
it
on
the
market
for
a
long
time.
So
I'd
like
to
see
us
keep
this
to
housing.
I
know
that
governor
newsom
is
going
to
be
signing
a
bill
potentially
next
week
on
coyote
valley,
open
space
where
we
might
lose
some
of
the
open
space
to
housing.
H
Soto
good
afternoon,
council,
and-
and
thank
you
for
that,
braless
I
I
really
appreciate
that
man,
especially
at
this
time
when
I'm
feeling
like
like,
like
the
only
way
that
I
have
value
as
a
human
being,
is
whether
or
not
I
have
money
to
give
to
a
landlord
you
know,
and
when
you're
sitting
out
on
the
streets,
man,
you
feel
like
you
have
absolutely
no
value
man.
You
will
affirm
that.
So
I
appreciate
that
braless
I
really
do.
Secondly,
are
you
serious
you're
gonna
put
a
yoga
studio
in
the
horseshoe?
H
I
mean
th.
This
is
the
kind
of
stuff
right
here
that
that
you
know
that
gentrification
is
happening.
We
want
to
move
out
every
single
mexican
that
we
can
possibly
come
up
with
and
the
way
that
we
establish
that
is
with
man.
This
is
all
this
is
all
that's
happening
in
the
horseshoe
right
now
is
manifest
destiny
with
manners.
The
same
thing
that
yoga
studio
in
the
horseshoe
is
on
par
with
thomas
fallon
staking
that
flag
here
in
the
city,
it's
on
par.
It's
the
same
thing.
H
What
it
means
is
is
that
we're
establishing
a
new
government
we're
establishing
a
new
social,
political,
economic,
cultural
system
by
which
we're
going
to
force
every
single
member
of
this
community
to
adapt
to,
and
if
they
don't
adapt
to
it,
then
we
will,
we
will
criminalize.
We
will
criminalize
the
responses
to
our
cultural
or
our
cultural
encroachment,
because
that's
what
it
that's,
what
it
is,
it's
a
it's
an
encroachment
on
a
culture
on
a
people.
Do
you
know
that
down
the
street
over
there
across
the
street
from
dallas
park?
H
H
Q
I'm
going
to
use
my
time
very
well.
I
want
to
tell
you:
I
lived.
I've
lived
in
this
neighborhood
for
more
than
10
years
when
this
happened.
They
put
this
out
here
as
a
yoga
studio.
The
the
signs
were
misleading.
We
had
to
dig
into
it.
It
is
not
a
yoga
studio.
What
it
is
is
a
temple
I'm
not
against
anybody's
religion,
I'm
not
against
buddhist
religions.
I've
been
to
the
sikh
temple,
but
what's
happened
is
they've
been
deceptive
from
the
very
very
beginning
the
windows
are
covered.
Q
They
bought
the
property
next
door,
they
put
bags
over
the
windows,
they've
got
one
of
the
houses
turned
into
a
dormitory
one
of
our
neighbors
called
and
said
you
know,
hey
robert.
Do
you
know
what's
going
on
across
the
street?
I
said
it's
funny.
We've
been
talking
about
that.
She
says
no,
I'm
a
buddhist
they're,
putting
a
temple
there
they're
going
to
have
hundreds
and
hundreds
of
people
there
sam.
You
know
this
neighborhood
raul.
You
know
this
neighborhood,
we
don't
have
the
room.
We've
got
the
pool
the
swimming
pool
right.
Q
Q
He
is
not
even
aware
of
what's
going
on
in
there
he's
doing
all
his
classes
online,
so
there's
been
so
many
things
that
are
not
true
about
this.
If
you
approve
this
and
I
at
minimum,
you
should
pause
this
and
look
at
this
again,
but
if
you
approve
this
you're
proving
something
that
is
not
correct
and
is
almost
fraudulent,
because
one
of
the
reasons
they
got
the
windows
closed,
you
can't
see
in
there.
They
don't
want
you
to
see
what
they're
doing
and
again
we're
not
against
people's
religion.
D
Hello
hi:
this
is
my
first
time
participating,
maybe
okay,
hi
hi
mayor
and
then
council
members,
so
my
name
is
trent.
I
am
a
engineer
manager
at
google
I'd
like
to
share
with
you
my
strongest
recommendation
for
this
organization
and
then
the
reason
behind
it.
So
I've
been
studying
meditation
wisdom
for
seven
years
and
I
have
been
inviting
their
instructors
to
teach
talks
and
meditation
workshops
at
google.
For
many
times
those
more
than
200
employees
have
learned
meditation
in
our
classes,
both
myself
and
so
many
others.
D
D
I
can
observe
from
myself
and
others
who
are
happier
more
peaceful,
calmer,
more
compassionate,
more
productive,
more
creative
and
we
have
all
have
seen
greater
relationships
with
our
loved
ones,
our
friends,
our
families.
I
think
this
is
a
great
service
to
the
community.
They
are
bringing
resources
to
the
community
by
bringing
this
meditation
center
to
san
jose.
D
You
know
we're
in
a
super
fast
paced,
stressful
word.
Today,
I
appear.
People
are
concerned
are
worried
about
their
future
and
so
on
and
when
we
are
in
task
of
building
these
great
technology
innovations
in
the
heart
of
secularity,
we
really
need
this
type
of
help
for
us
to
live
better
and
work
better
again.
I
think
this
is
such
a
positive
ad
to
our
community.
D
A
A
L
L
L
No,
there
should
be
no
rezoning
because
it
seems
as
if
what's
already
been
zoned
is
a
disaster.
So
to
let
you
guys
rezone,
it
would
be
even
worse.
So
what
I
recommend
is
work
with
what
you
have
and
put
its
own
rezoned,
my
neighborhood
to
cram
in
four
and
six
places.
That'll
be
the
worst
decision
you've
ever
made.
Well,
it's
gonna.
Look
like
it's
gonna,
look
like
the
favelas
that
they
have
in
in
brazil.
So
that's
what
you
guys
want!
You
guys
wanted
to
end
up
to
look
like
brazil.
L
C
C
I've
been
a
practice
meditation
for
about
10
years
and
I
recently
practiced
yoga
as
well.
Yoga
and
meditation
has
helped
me
to
to
deal
with
my
busy
life
in
san
jose
and
helping
to
have
like
a
strong
bond
with
my
son.
I
have
a
22
years
old
son,
my
wife
and
my
my
historic
work.
I'm
a
licensed
structure,
a
civil
engineer.
I
work
on
on
many
projects
in
san
jose.
C
I'm
a
volunteer
on
this
project,
helping
out
the
technical
aspect
of
the
project
like
apply,
building
permit
to
use,
permit
adjustment,
permit
and
so
on,
and
all
that
paperwork
which
other
people
doesn't
have
a
clue.
What
is
going
on,
and
some
of
it
is
same
with
me,
but
from
the
beginning
beginning,
we
have
another
contractor
work
with
us,
helping
the
cleaning
up
the
the
property.
C
We
are
in
the
midst
of
the
pandemic,
then,
unfortunately,
my
partner
passed
away
and
it
was
a
shock
for
me,
because
life
is
really
short
and
I
I
see
it's
really
short,
so
you
know
helping
him,
because
when
you
pass
away
all
the
people
you
own
money
too,
they
come
over
and
ask
and
all
people
they
that
and
they
own
you
money.
They
quiet,
you
know.
So
I
have
to
do
something
like
that
to
help
out
he's
during
his
wife
and
children
so
and
we
we
try
to
do
good.
C
I
D
D
14
parking
spaces
that
are
allotted
for
that
business,
that's
going
gonna
be
a
few
hours
and
then
two
I
mean
I
love
yoga.
I
practice
yoga.
I
love
meditation,
but
if
you
yelp
a
yo,
I
live
in
what
we
all
live
here
in
one.
So
if
you
yelp
yoga,
there
is
walking
distance
from
my
house.
There
are
over
10
locations.
I
don't
think
we
need
another
location
and
to
top
that
off,
it's
not
let's,
it's
not
going
to
be
a
yoga
studio.
It's
going
to
be
a
temple.
My
mom
lives.
I
D
North
14th
street,
if
you
guys
I
mean
after
covet,
is
over,
but
if
you
go
on
15th
street,
there's
the
same
buddhist
temple
right
across
the
street
or
right
by
my
mom's
house,
it's
going
to
be
the
same
thing
in
our
neighborhood
there's
going
to
be
absolutely
no
parking.
I
mean
it's
already
an
issue.
Like
robert
said,
I.
A
G
G
T
Certainly,
I
can
provide
a
description
of
the
project
we
received,
so
we
received
the
application
on
march
25th
of
this
year.
The
site
has
a
general
plan
designation
of
neighborhood
commercial
community
commercial,
which
allows
for
all
commercial
uses.
The
existing
zoning
is
residential
r2,
so
the
request
is
to
rezone
to
the
commercial
pedestrian
zoning
district.
T
The
applicant
did
indicate
that
the
proposed
use
is
a
religious
assembly
use
and
they
also
shared
that
yoga
or
meditation
is
part
of
that
religious
assembly
use.
So
I
did
want
to
clarify
that,
because
the
project
was
deemed
under
the
city
council
public
outreach
policy
as
a
very
small
development
proposal,
we
did
not
host
a
city
community
meeting,
we
did
send
out
public
notices
of
the
project
and
actually
the
site
has
been
posted
since
april
20th
of
this
year.
T
Obviously,
once
the
public
notice
went
out
for
today's
hearing,
staff
did
receive
about
six
emails
from
residents,
including
the
gartner
neighborhood
association,
but
I
just
want
to
reiterate
that
per
stats
review
the
project
does
conform.
With
the
general
plan.
The
proposed
zoning
district,
which
does
align
with
the
general
plan
designation.
G
Thank
you,
and
I
recognize
that's
why
this
was
a
sign
for
consent.
As
we
we
try
to
allow
people
to
develop
what
it
is
that
our
general
plan
will
allow
them
to
to
develop
or
operate
what
we
allow
them.
What
will
it
will
allow
them
to
operate,
and-
and
I
recognize
the
concerns
coming
from
the
community
and-
and
I
appreciate
those
and
and
going
back
to
my
appreciation
of
having
paul
soto
back
as
he
knows.
G
What
legally
could
be
there-
and
in
this
case,
this
project
legally
is
able
to
operate,
and
in
fact
I
know
there
were
some
concerns
brought
up
that
potentially
this
could
bring
in
hundreds
of
people
and
and
in
fact,
if
rosen
you
can
highlight,
I
know
that
we
put
in
place
some
restrictions
in
regards
to
the
use
the
number
of
individuals
sessions
per
day.
Could
you
list
those
out.
T
T
G
Thank
you,
and-
and
I
know,
because
of
obviously
it
being
classified
as
a
a
church
or
religious
assembly
as
they
did
come
in
in
the
application
on.
We
have
restricted
them
to
three
sessions
per
day
up
to
15,
people
between
the
hours
of
9,
00
am
and
nine
p.m,
and
and
in
fact,
right
much
much
less,
obviously
than
the
concern
of
maybe
hundreds
of
people.
But
can
you
speak
to
that?
G
G
Thank
you,
and
you
know
this
site
has
been
vacant,
for
I
think
actually,
over
a
decade
or
so
it
was
great
when
the
market
was
there,
but
it
has
now
been
an
eyesore.
It's
been
an
area
of
blight
and
illegal
dumping,
and
you
name
it
already.
As
this
new
property
owners
come
in,
they've
responded
to
cleaning
up
the
area
to
graffiti
as
neighbors
concerned,
and
there
was
valid
concerns
on
things
like
the
height
of
their
fence.
They
responded
to
that
and
changed
that
it
looks
like
they
want
to
be
good.
G
A
A
Okay,
I
just
want
to
clarify,
I
understand.
I
know
there
were
concerns
about
the
the
applicant
misrepresenting
and
I
actually
went
online
just
to
learn
more
about
bodhi,
light,
international
and
there's
clearly
an
intersection
of
of
religious
faith
and
meditation
practice,
and
I
don't
think,
there's
any
probably
no
dispute
about
that.
A
A
A
Okay,
wonderful,
okay!
Thank
you.
I
I
appreciate
the
councilman
paul's
comments.
I
appreciate
many
members
of
the
community
who
I
know
who
weighed
in
on
this
issue
on
both
sides.
I
think
I
see
this
the
same
way
that
councilmember
perales
does
my
own
family
goes
way
back
in
this
neighborhood.
My
mother's
name
is
aceves
and
they
lived
there
for
in
the
gardner
neighborhood
for
about
three
generations
right
after
they
immigrated
from
mexico,
and
so
this
is.
This
is
a
community.
E
Thank
you
mayor.
I
had
a
question
on
so
so
zone.
I
know
the
area
well
as
well.
I've
had
family
and
around
the
area
and-
and
I
know
that
the
site
has
been
an
eyesore,
but
it's
interesting
that
the
existing
zoning
is
a
fan
is
residential
in
the
time
that
it's
been
vacant.
Has
anybody
submitted
an
application
to
build
housing
there.
T
E
Okay,
so
in
all
the
years
that
it's
been
an
eyesore
in
the
community,
no
one's
submitted
an
application
to
take
advantage
of
the
of
a
family,
residential
zoning
and
the
action
we're
taking
today
sort
of
supports
the
existing
use
and
would
allow
the
community
to
not
have
an
eyesore
in
their
neighborhood
with
an
avenue
to
to
complain.
If
folks
are
not
following
the
rules.
Essentially.
D
A
D
J
T
Yes,
councilmember,
that's
correct,
so
per
city
council
public
outreach
policy.
If
a
project
is
deemed
as
very
as
a
very
small
development
proposal,
we're
not
required
to
actually
conduct
a
community
meeting.
As
I
mentioned,
the
site
had
been
posted
with
the
sign
since
april
of
this
year,
and
then
our
staff
did
mail.
The
public
notice
regarding
this
particular
hearing
in
I
think
it
was
in
august.
T
So,
basically,
as
the
criteria
are
outlined
in
the
city
council
policy,
we
would
hold
a
community
meeting
on
projects,
obviously
of
interest.
If
we
received
you
know
numerous
inquiries
from
members
of
the
public
and
then
obviously
we
have
different
radii
for
providing
that
public
notice.
In
this
case
it
was
a
radius
of
500
square
feet,
so
property
owners
and
addresses
tenants
as
well
did
receive
that
public
notice.
J
Yeah
and
and
and
unfortunately,
the
neighborhood
association
doesn't
support
the
project
as
a
result
of
that
engagement,
and
so
so
so
this
is
my
concern,
and-
and
now
that
raises
even
you
know,
bigger
red
flags,
for
me
is
that
a
500
square
feet
radius
in
terms
of
the
kind
of
outreach
is,
is
hardly,
in
my
opinion,
any
outreach
at
all.
So
I'm
from
that
neighborhood
originally,
I'm
you
know
my
family.
J
My
almost
my
entire
family
first
generation
that
came
from
mexico
was
as
paul
soto
by
the
way
paul
very
nice
to
hear
from
you
again.
We
we
missed
you
and
we
missed
hearing
your
opinion.
We
don't
always
have
to
agree,
but
having
your
voice
is
is
is
a
a
good
reminder
of
those
who
sometimes
aren't
always
heard
and,
of
course,
being
an
original
horseshoe
resident.
J
I
understand
the
the
significance
of
your
of
your
voice,
and
so
I
grew
up
literally
just
two
blocks
from
there
in
front
of
in
front
of
the
horseshoe,
which
is
where
it
gets
its
name
from
and
and
and
I
grew
up
making
my
rounds
on
delmas,
where
this
little
store
had
its
ups
and
downs.
Sometimes
it
was
open;
sometimes
it
wasn't.
Sometimes
it
was
a
store.
Sometimes
it
wasn't
a
store.
Sometimes
it
was
just
you
know.
J
A
vacant
little
building
and
and
and
my
family
was
that
labor
force
that
provided
for
domani,
and
so
I
know
the
plaque
that
that
paul
is
referring
to.
I
went
to
go
visit
that
plaque
literally
hours
after
my
mother
passed,
because
I
wanted
my
children
to
see
the
legacy
that
she
left
behind,
but
so
this
is
a
concern
I
have,
I
think,
500
square
500
feet
radius
in
terms
of
the
outreach.
That's
done,
I
think
it's
minimal
to
let
an
entire
neighborhood,
especially
a
close-knit
neighborhood,
know.
J
J
J
It's
quickly
being
gentrified,
it's
quickly
being
altered
in
its
character
and-
and
I
just
I
just
think
that
it
it
would
be.
It
would
be
of
great
benefit
to
have
the
community
weigh
in
on
how
they
want
their
community
to
look
and
the
kind
of
neighbors
that
that
are
moving
in
and
how
they're
going
to
change
the
face
of
it.
So
it's
it.
You
know,
council,
member
perales.
I
I
very
typically
support
just
about
everything
that
you
bring
to
to
the
table.
J
This
one
is
going
to
be
very
hard
for
me
to
support
because
of
the
lack
of
outreach
and
then
also
the
opposition,
and
I
know
this
neighborhood
very
very
well.
I
grew
up
on
the
streets
of
horseshoe
on
atlanta
in
hull,
on
delmas
and
virginia
on
willis,
which
was
my
street.
You
know
on
the
playgrounds
of
gardner
elementary
and
definitely
on
that
on
on
the
horseshoe,
and
you
know
I
learned
how
to
swim
at
beatbreak
and
in
spite
of
city
staff
telling
me
not
to
do
it.
J
That's
where
I
learned
how
to
dive,
and
so
it's
just
it's
just
it's
gonna
be
hard.
I
can't
support
this
one
right
now
and
and
even
though
it
may,
it
may
be
allowable
under
our
code
or
under
roslyn's
department.
In
the
past,
you
and
I
have
stood
with
our
residents
and
have
voted
against
alviso
when
they
were
going
to
bring
in.
You
know
that
entertaining
golf.
What
is
the
golf.
K
J
Yeah
and
when
they
were
going
to
bring
in
the
capital
improvements
in
d4
in
our
residence,
we're
saying
no,
we
don't
want
it
next
to
a
school.
Because
of
all
these
reasons
and
council
member
foley
you
and
I
stood
with
the
residents
and
said:
okay,
we're
listening.
We
hear
you
and
we're
not
going
to
do
it,
and
so
today
I
have
to
stand
with
the
residents
and
and
vote
against
it.
G
Yeah,
thank
you
and
believe
me,
councilmember
kadasco.
I
would
love
for
the
community
to
be
in
harmony
whether
it's
this
item
or
other
items.
As
you
point
out,
that's
not
always
the
case,
and,
and
it's
certainly
not
me,
bringing
anything
forward.
I
didn't
even
know
what
was
coming
forward
until
the
applicant
brought
it
forward.
G
I
do
want
to
bring
in
the
concerns
of
the
community,
but
this
is
not
equivalent
to
top
golf,
which,
quite
frankly,
is
is
more
vegas-like
than
anything
else.
It's
not
necessarily
a
regular
golf
course,
and
I
did
feel
that
that
would
be
detrimental
to
the
community.
I
don't
think
a
15
person
max
three
times
a
day.
G
That's
not
the
the
view,
obviously,
of
the
neighbors
that
have
spoken
up
today.
I
recognize
that
and
and
harmony
would
be
preferred.
I
also
was
following
the
outreach
guidelines.
There's
really
you
know,
besides
changing
the
policy
which
this
council
can
do,
I'm
I'm
you
know
I'm
open
to
that.
I
agree
with
you
and
I
think
we
had
that
on
a
potential
priority.
G
We
did
want
to
connect
the
applicant
to
the
neighborhood
association,
albeit
as
you
point
out
that
led
to
the
neighborhood
association,
not
necessarily
supporting
the
project
and
even
still
with
the
totality
of
the
the
factors.
It's
it's
not
something
I
feel
deserves
to
be
denied.
It
is
something
that
I
feel
deserves.
You
know
to
be
watched
closely
and,
and
I'm
happy
to
with
the
neighbors,
ensure
that
this
operator
is
held
accountable
and
that
they
are
a
good
neighbor,
but
other
than
that,
I'm
I'm
not
interested
in
denying
them
this
opportunity.
G
A
Thank
you
councilmember.
I
I
did
want
to
ask
one
question
of
robert
who
had
raised
his
hand
and
spoken
previously.
He
lives
about
a
half
block
away.
I
know,
and
I
just
want
to
ask
specifically
about
misrepresentations
that
you
suggested
robert
was
there.
Something
else
did.
Did
I
miss
something
or
was
there?
Was
it
just
this
issue
about
it
being
a
temple.
Q
No
there's,
there's
more
there's
been
numerous
violations
of
what
they
say:
they're
going
to
conform
to
have
happened
already,
there's
been
people
there
late
after
hours,
they've
actually
already
started
using
it
over
nine
months
ago.
Prior
to
any
of
this,
there's
people
coming
in
and
out
without
any
ppe
or
any
of
those
kind
of
things,
also
we've.
We
have
never
spoken
to
them.
The
representative
that
they
was
assigned
to
us
was
a
volunteer.
Q
It
was
not
done
accurately,
and
so
we
have
never
been
introduced
to
the
owners
personally
at
all
so
and
the
way
it's
been
set
up
to
this
point,
with
the
windows
being
darkened
and
shades
over
it
and
everything
we've
been
sort
of
walled
out
of
this
whole
thing
and
we
are
a
tight
community
and
we
are
not
against
people's
religion,
I'm
a
child
of
the
civil
rights
movement.
I
think
people
should
be
able
to
do
whatever
they
want
to
do,
but
they
have
not
really
told
us
really
what's
going
on.
Q
They
have
never
met
with
us
and
we're.
We
only
have
our
neighborhood.
We
cannot
afford
to
have
this
chunk.
Taken
out
now,
I'm
not
saying
that
eventually
we
might
not
agree
with
what
they
want
to
do,
but
to
this
point
they
haven't
said
anything
to
us.
Their
conversations
have
been
directly
to
the
city
council
and
not
to
us.
The
only
person
we've
talked
to
is
not
them.
It
is
a
volunteer
spokesman,
so
they
need
to
come
to
the
community
and
let
us
know
really
what
they're
going
to
do.
Q
Q
Anybody,
including
them
or
anybody
else
who
who
applies
so
that
and
and
the
board
is,
as
already
we've
met
and
we're
against
it
in
its
existing
format,
because
we
have
not
had
proper
outreach
to
them
and
they
haven't
done
anything
to
the
community
to
make
us
feel
that
they
even
care
about
us
at
all.
They
haven't
taken
that
into
concern,
so
we
don't
take
this
lightly.
Sam
and
raul,
we
really
don't.
We
respect
you
guys,
but
we
we
know
we
know.
What's
going
on.
We
know
the
parking
issues
with
the
swimming
pool,
we're
full.
Q
We
don't
mind.
People
come
to
bebrak
park,
they
use
the
pool,
most
of
them
come
from
other
parts
of
the
city.
That's
great.
I
pull
my
car
in
people
park
in
front
of
my
house
they're
here
for
an
hour,
they're
gone,
but
from
what
I
know
and
again
when
I
asked
him
what
they
were
doing,
he
said
yoga
studio.
So,
okay,
he
said
yoga,
so
he
sends
me
an
email
and
I'll.
Send
you
guys
the
email
of
their
instructor.
I
called
the
instructor.
He
knows
nothing
about
this
project,
so
we're
being
misled.
Q
A
A
That's
and
and
only
three
assemblies
a
day
that
is
very
significant
limitation,
so
all
I'd
say
is,
I
think,
we're
on
notice
that
there's
a
concern.
Clearly.
I
know
the
community
will
be
watching
if
there's,
if
there's
obvious
significant
violations
and
and
we'll
be
following
up
with
code
enforcement
and
enforcing
the
rules.
J
T
T
A
C
And
yes,
I
am,
and
even
though
I'm
a
volunteer,
but
I
can
present
the
owner
about
that
regarding
to
robert's
concern.
I
understand
from
his
point
of
view-
and
it's
also
my
concern
as
well,
because
when
we
as
an
engineer
I'd
like
to
bring
the
building
up
to
the
certain
you
know
the
current
court
and
also
current
look
what
my
engineer
normally
do,
but
this
building
had
been
built
in
1935
and
been
classified
as
a
historic
building.
So
it's
very
minimal.
We
can
do
to
that.
C
C
Any
of
us
do
any
donation
for
the
last
six
months,
not
many
of
us
doing
that
because
we
suffer,
we
are
suffering
and
we
frustrate
it.
You
know-
and
I
I
think
is-
is
normal-
that
people
will,
we
will
see
a
thing
is
not
up
to
date
and
and
blame
other
people,
but
we
really
want
to
bring
this
building
up
to
stand
to
the
curtain.
C
C
You,
you
don't
have
the
the
gather
big
gather
like
before,
even
though
when
we
get
back
when
we,
but
but
zoom
is
so
convenient,
so
so
so
so
that
the
the
thing
we
do
and-
and
we
have
more
than
enough
parking
on
site,
so
we're
not
going
to
use
a
parking
outside
at
all
and
how
to
be
a
member,
we're
open
we
come
in
and
then
everybody
can
can
get
a
section
with
us
and
if
they
like
they,
they
continue.
If
they
said
no
I'd
rather
do
something
else.
C
Then
that's
fine,
but
we
come
in.
We
open
to
all
of
the
the
neighborhood
and
all
you
know,
walk
up
life.
We
don't
discriminate
anybody,
so
so
we
have
to
make
sure
to
robert
and
everybody
else.
We
we
do
it
free.
So
you
know
you
cannot
blame
us
because
that's
the
best
thing
we
can
do.
If
we
we
ask
you
to
pay,
then
you
said
they
are
not
good
or
so,
but
it's
all
free.
C
J
Thank
you
so
much,
and
I
want
to
thank
the
speaker,
excuse
me
so
so
back
to
my
question.
I
just
wanted
to
see
if
there
was
any
way
that
we
could.
You
know
I
I
don't
know
if
councilmember
perales
would
be
open
to
deferring
this
to
maybe
the
next
two
weeks
just
to
be
able
to
get
the
community
to
engage
and
have
a
conversation,
a
meaningful
conversation,
because
it
sounds
like
you
know,.
J
G
T
A
A
G
Yeah
I
mean
I
I
obviously
I
haven't
communicated
this
with
the
applicant
on
a
on
any
sort
of
delay.
Three
weeks
is
is
a
bit
of
a
a
length
of
a
delay.
I
don't
actually
know
what
that
means
for
for
their
business,
but
I
have
not
been
informed
of
any
urgencies
that
they
have
and
my
understanding
rosie
you
can
correct
me
but
zung
who,
who
is
speaking,
was
just
speaking.
He
he
has
been
sort
of
taking
point
in
the
applications
for
the
permits
on
behalf
of
the
organization,
correct.
G
Okay,
so-
and
I
know
we
as
council
members
know
this-
that
it's
not
always
the
owners
of
of
businesses
that
lead
on
the
the
application
process.
Typically,
there
are
consultants
involved.
Clearly
this
is
not
an
organization,
that's
hired
a
professional
consultant.
I
don't
hold
that
against
them.
It's
someone
that
has
asked
you
know
a
partner
volunteer
of
theirs
to
to
help
lead
on
that
through
the
city
process,
and
so
I
don't.
G
I
don't
hold
that
against
him
either
and
he
has
engaged
and
been
willing
to
engage
with
the
community
as
well
as
another
representative
who
is
affiliated
with
the
organization
and
but
at
the
same
time,
if,
if
the
you
know,
I
think
if
the
community
is
feeling
as
though
they'd
like
to
maybe
engage
with
someone
else,
there's
really
nobody
else
that
I
have
personally
engaged
with.
Besides
zung
and
and
cien
sin,
I
believe,
is
her
name.
G
N
Hey
I'll,
you
know
I'll
go
with
the
motion
on
the
floor.
I
don't
have
a
strong
feeling,
but
I
just
I
just
want
to
if
I
could
share
my
screen
real
quick,
and
am
I
doing
it
so
I
on
the
discussion
of
500,
feet
and
stuff.
I
just
want
to
point
out
to
the
council,
my
colleagues
that
this
is.
Can
you
see
what
I'm
doing
here?
N
N
You
know
the
goal
lines
or
whatever
mid
mid
process,
so
you
know
I'm
happy
to
to
have
the
friendly
amendment
I'll
support
it.
I'm
I
don't
feel
strong
either
way,
but
I
just
think
that
we
should
be
consistent
in
it
and-
and
we
shouldn't
be
surprised
when
our
standard
operating
procedure
of
500
feet
seems
why,
why
are
we
doing
only
500
feet?
It
should
be
more.
E
E
I
think,
if
we're
erring
on
the
side
of
a
little
bit
more
community
outreach,
that's
the
side,
I'm
comfortable
with
airing
on,
and
if
residents
want
to
take
that
time
to
say
how
glad
they
are
to
get
rid
of
an
eyesore
great.
Let's
do
it
if
they
want
to
use
that
time
to
say
hey.
We
really
want
to
understand
the
structure
of
this
organization
a
little
bit
more
because
we're
we're
not
feeling
like
communication
has
been
consistent.
E
G
G
I
want
to
lead
this
effort
with
my
office.
I
think
you
have
done
the
work
that
you
need
to
do.
We
have
again
we
have
connected
the
applicant,
or
at
least
the
representative,
with
the
neighborhood
association.
What
we
will
do
is
we
will
lead
on
that
again.
I
would
like
right
if
you
want
to
loan
us
who
is
the
lead
on
this
project
right
to
participate,
maybe
in
a
zoom
meeting
with
us,
but
I'm
not
asking
for
the
process
itself
to
be.
G
If
he
can,
let
us
know
if
he
thinks
that
that's
possible.
I
know
he
has
been
speaking
for
the
applicant
if
he
thinks
that
that
that
you
know
over
the
next
couple
weeks
that
we
can
work
with
him
and
and
actually
get
the
the
owner
to
engage
with
us,
and
I
don't
know,
maybe
if
there
was
a
staff,
can
unmute
him.
C
C
The
open
device
you
know
is
is
is
a
very
frustrating
situation
for
us
and
we
try
to
be
a
part
with
the
community,
but
we
don't
have
any
permit
to
do
and
the
misunderstanding
get
deeper
and
deeper
after
work.
Five
o'clock,
5
30-
I
run
over
here
and
sometimes
I
catch
some
of
the
neighbor
and
talk
to
them
a
little
bit
and
instruct
the
work
in
the
manner
that
we
don't
violate
the
code.
So
so,
please,
let
us
operate
it
and
we
will
keep
it
in
the
guideline
we
promise.
C
C
You
know
people
don't
come
in,
they,
they
don't
give
donation
and-
and
you
also
don't
ask-
no-
we
normally
don't
ask
for
donation
either,
because
that,
if
we
don't
have
money,
then
that's
it.
But
if
it's
like
that,
the
bank
gonna
take
it
and
they're
gonna
be
another
10
years
from
now.
This
building
will
be
vacant
and
and
gonna
be
a
dumping
ground
again
you
know
so
so
this
is
an
opportunity
to
for
us
to
get
up
be
a
part
of
the
community
and
we
promise
to
do
good
and
it
is
non-religion.
C
This
is
yoga
meditation.
You
don't
need
to
be
a
hindu
to
practice
yoga.
You
don't
need
to
be
a
buddhist
to
practice.
Meditation.
You
know
david.
He
doesn't
want
to
convert
me
to
a
hindu
or
my
master
doesn't
want
me
to
convert
everybody
to
buddhism.
We
just
teach
the
way
how
you
control
your
mind
and
your
body
when
you
need
it,
and
and
that's
it
I
will
have
done
good
for
me
and
I
want
to
share
it
to
everyone.
G
Mr
jung,
sorry,
if
I
keep
pronouncing
your
name
wrong
as
well,
I
would
try
to
to
get
that
correct.
What
I
was
asking
was
in
regards
to
sort
of
a
I
guess,
an
owner
of
the
studio.
It
sounds
like,
obviously
what
you're
you
have
been
the
applicant
you
have
been
are
speaking
for
the
applicant.
You
have
been
who's,
helped
the
applicant
through
the
the
process
here
with
the
city
and
actually
applying,
but
yet
you're
titled
as
a
volunteer.
G
G
C
D
A
D
D
D
So
we
went
through
the
process
and
waited
for.
I
think
almost
a
year
on
this,
there
has
been
issues
arising,
one
after
another,
with
the
planning
and
building
and
different
departments
that
we've
been
trying
to
patiently
work
through
up
to
this
point
and
weeping
semi
utilizing
the
property
for
our
use
because
we
need
to
have
people
stay
there.
Obviously
to
have
construction
workers,
helping
us
to
fix
small
things
inside
out,
and
young
has
been
mainly
the
person
who
really
is
in
charge
of
bringing
it
just
kind
of
look
out
for
the
property.
G
G
I
have
the
same
intent
that
I
did
today,
which
is
to
support
this
project
moving
forward,
but
I
also
would
love
for
someone
like
you
to
be
able
to
get
in
front
of
the
community
members
that
you
heard
today
to
try
to
get
us
all
off
on
a
better
start
and
I
don't
want
to
delay
longer
than
we
have
to
and
and
the
three-week
delay.
Obviously,
you
know
was
longer
than
I
than
I
would
want
to
considering.
We
have
a
holiday
in
two
weeks.
G
I
am
willing
to
say
we
just
defer
this
one
week
to
next
tuesday
and
if
amy
you
can
commit
to
join
with
jung
as
well.
Sometime
between
you
know,
tomorrow
and
and
friday
or
saturday.
Even
we
will
reach
out
to
our
neighbors
that
are
on
the
zoom
call
now
and
I'm
I'm.
This
is
the
first
notice
right
that
we
want
to.
We
want
to
invite
our
neighbors
there
in
the
neighborhood
and
yourself
amy
and
jung
to
join
a
zoom
call.
We
will
discuss
this
and
then
rosalind.
B
O
A
A
O
A
O
A
A
T
T
T
T
T
So
staff
is
recommending
that
the
council
considered
the
mitigated
negative
declaration
and
denied
the
permanent
appeal
and
approved
the
conditional
use
permit
subject
to
conditions.
I
also
want
to
note
that,
since
the
planning
commission
hearing
staff
has
added
a
new
condition
number
37.
This
was
just
an
oversight
and
administrative
era.
T
A
M
Is
the
towns
then?
Thank
you
very
much
hello
city.
Council
members.
My
name
is
brett
townsend.
I
am
the
property
owner
of
2355
south
bascom
avenue,
which
is
the
bordering
property
to
the
north
of
the
development
property.
My
family
and
I
have
operated
the
business
central
valley
marine
on
this
property
for
45
years.
We
are
pleased
to
see
the
neighboring
property
being
developed.
However,
we
are
concerned
with
the
poorly
planned
access
to
the
rear
perimeter
of
the
proposed
project.
M
M
M
The
actual
usable
width
of
this
easement
is
less
than
11
feet
in
some
areas.
This
is
because
of
a
dividing
block
wall
in
a
curb
that
separates
our
property
from
the
neighboring
homes
and
dry
creek.
Without
this
wall,
the
dry
creek
neighborhood
would
be
exposed
to
noise
and
commercial
activity
on
bascom
avenue.
M
Furthermore,
the
neighboring
home
is
built
right
up
next
to
the
wall.
There
is
also
a
significant
slope
along
the
length
of
the
easement
that
requires
a
curb
to
route
rain
water
away
from
the
neighboring
home
and
out
to
the
storm
drain,
with
less
than
11
feet
of
usable
width
and
an
uphill
slope
and
possible
traffic
flowing
in
the
wrong
direction.
M
J
A
F
C
N
N
A
M
M
If
you
think
about
the
variance
application
it
highlights.
If
you
review
this,
it
highlights
really
some
shortcomings
of
the
site
and
proposed
solutions.
They
are
considered
approved
with
respect
to
normal
occupants.
I
think
one
thing
that
the
council
should
take
into
close
consideration.
This
is
a
three-story
83
unit,
92
bed,
elderly
care
facility.
As
on
the
application
housed
by
seniors,
many
of
whom
may
be
in
walkers
wheelchairs,
canes,
possibly
memory
impaired.
M
You
know
in
an
emergency
situation
like
a
fire.
These
occupants
cannot
be
expected
to
maneuver
themselves
to
the
exit
stairs
and
even
follow
instructions.
At
times,
there's
only
one
elevator,
one
passenger
elevator
serving
this
and
serving
four
floors,
including
the
basement
which
wasn't
brought
up
earlier.
M
The
basement
is
mainly
for
parking,
but
there
are
some
storage
units
there.
So
I
know
in
a
fire.
You
don't
use
fire
elevators,
but
I
mean.
Can
you
imagine
one
of
your
mothers
or
fathers
trying
to
maneuver
stairs
during
the
fire
when
they're
over
when
they're,
relying
on
walkers
or
whatever
else?
So
this
is
a
huge
potential
liability.
M
We
think
that
the
city
should
really
consider
more
the
type
of
occupants
not
only
just
normal
occupants,
as
well
as
a
circular
fire
access
road
which
is
severely
going
to
bother
the
fire
equipment
getting
to
the
back
of
the
property,
which
is
over
300
feet,
deep
from
bascom
double
what
is
required
by
the
standards,
so
even
with
all
the
variance
applications.
It's
a
problem.
Thank
you
very
much.
H
H
We
can
okay,
okay.
Thank
you.
The
the
issue
that
I
take
with
this
project
is
that
I
went
to
the
one
that
was
held
at
hayes
mansion
with
regard
to
the
project.
That's
going
in
in
jimenez's
district
right
there
at
on
on
blossom
hill,
and
there
was
all
I
mean
the
kind
of
vitriolic
language
that
was
used.
I
mean
these
seniors
were
drug
addicts.
The
seniors
are
going
to
be
dealing
dope
in
the
front.
H
You
know
they
were
going
to
be
peddling
their
zane
axe
and
they're
in
their
in
their
in
their
pills.
You
know
right
there
up
front,
I
mean
it's
just
these
things
are
like
they
exemplify
the
kind
of
disparities
where
some
kind
of
housing
project
or
some
kind
of
project
is
going
to
go
into
one
particular
area,
especially
dry,
creek
road.
You
don't
know
what
time
it
is
there.
H
Okay
in
that
particular
area,
the
language
and
the
the
the
compassion
and
the
necessity
for
compassion
to
compel
compassion.
Oh,
it's
existing
it's
right
there
on
the
surface,
but
when
you
start
going
to
districts
like
jimenez
or
esparza
or
or
carrasco's,
all
of
a
sudden,
it's
different.
All
of
a
sudden,
the
language
is
different.
All
of
a
sudden,
the
kinds
of
the
kinds
of
concepts
that
are
taken
at
face
value
that
the
council
considers
is
automatically
accepted
on
face
value,
because
these
people
are
saying
it.
H
So
that's
why
the
racial
equity
lens
in
terms
of
when
we
do
and
what
we
do
and
how
we
do
and
who
we
do
it
with
that's,
why
it's
so
critically
important
it's,
because
that
lens
is
not
being
applied
to
all
of
these
different
situations,
and
you
can
hear
it
in
the
voices
of
the
citizens
when
they
come
on
to
these,
to
these
public
forums,
to
air,
to
air,
their
grievances
or
their
acceptance
of
any
kind
of
project.
Thank
you.
H
L
These
projects,
where
you
try
to
cram
a
large
building
and
where
it
there's
no
way
it's
going
to
fit,
there's
no
way
that
that
is
going
to
be
conducive
to
the
other
businesses
around
there,
and
it's
the
same
with
with
the
senior
care
home
they
put
at
branham
and
nominated
expressway
next
to
jack.
In
the
box,
the
traffic
going
in
and
out,
there's
going
to
be
terrible.
The
construction
noise
for
the
residents
over
there
on
basmatis
on
dry
creek.
L
L
Over
there,
but
I
have
to
drive
down
baskin
a
lot
and
I
I
don't
want
to
have
a
bunch
of
cars
going
in
and
out
of
there
and
ambulances
and
firings,
because
you
know
what's
going
to
happen.
Unfortunately,
these
older
people
they
get
sick,
they
get
ill.
The
ambulance
has
to
take
them
away.
24
hours
a
day.
F
Well
good
afternoon,
mr
mayor
members
of
director
huey
and
staff,
including
angela
wong,
and
including
the
developer
paul
bunton,
I
appreciate
the
opportunity
to
speak
today.
My
issue
is
rather
focused
and
I've
heard
a
lot
of
what's
gone
on
in
the
past
couple
of
hours,
and
I
appreciate
the
patience
that
the
council
members
have
shown
to
all
of
these
arguments.
My
argument
is
rather
specific
and
then
you
need
the
25-foot
setback
to
play
a
fire
lane,
as
has
been
described
by
by
ken
takahashira.
F
F
However,
this
issue
regarding
the
25-foot
setback
to
accommodate
a
fire
lane
has
not
been
previously
addressed
and
for
all
of
the
reasons
that
I
have
communicated
to
ray
simpson
and
have
not
gotten
an
adequate
response
back
from
the
fire
department
for
a
variance
on
this
subject
that
we
have
an
issue
here
with
respect
to
being
able
to
evacuate
from
the
third
story.
Without
an
elevator
mobility,
impaired,
elderly
assisted
care,
patients
that
need
assistance,
should
there
be
a
situation.
This
is.
F
K
K
I'd
really
like
to
speak
to
there
is
a
previous
caller
who
said
that
there
was
some
kind
of
racism
or
something
going
on
that
the
pride.
I
forget
the
name
of
the
project,
the
one
that
had
a
meeting
at
the
hayes
mansion
people
are
saying.
Well,
the
seniors
in
that
dress,
they're
going
to
be
selling
drugs
and
making
trouble
and
stuff
the
problem
he's
hiring
two
different
populations.
K
The
people
who
are
going
to
be
in
a
medical,
assisted
care
facility
are
different
than
people
who
are
being
placed
from
you
know,
anu
as
permanent
supportive
housing
as
part
of
housing.
First
for
project
welcome
home.
Whatever
you
want
to
call
it,
those
people
will
have
friends
from
the
street
who
are
going
to
be
hanging
around
the
project
and
making
trouble,
so
they
need
to
prepare
to
have
security
to
address
those
problems.
K
D
Did
I
can
you
hear
me?
Yes,
you
can.
I
really
you
know
I
chimed
in
at
the
last
minute,
because
these
these
arguments
are
so
compelling.
I
live
on
dry,
creek
road
and
we
had
numerous
meetings
with
the
developer
and
I
thought
that
the
developer
understood
that
we
wanted
to
funnel
everything
onto
bascom,
since
it
was
a
commercial
property
that
was
intruding
on
a
nice
long-term
sleepy
residential
neighborhood.
D
That's
been
established
here
for
years
and
now
this
access
we
just
want
to
leave
dry,
creek
alone,
and
and
now
that
I
hear
brett's
and
john's
arguments
about
the
fire
lanes
and
and
and
and
the
easement
size,
the
easement
width.
These
are
actual
hazards
and
it's
very
very
compelling,
and
I
really
hope
that
the
council
just
doesn't
have
made
up
their
minds
already
studying
the
statute,
this
this
proposal
and
just
rubber
stamps
everything
which
is
my
experience
with
previous
council
meetings
like
the
public
saying
anything,
doesn't
really
matter.
D
It's
just
token,
and
I
really
hope
that
this
time
you
really
listen
to
us
and
or
even
come
to
dry
creek
and
see
what
you're
actually
doing,
instead
of
being
in
your
office,
you
know
barred
from
you
know,
sheltered
from
the
real
world
and
and
and
seeing
what
this
what's
actually
happening
here.
I
understand
you
want
to
urbanize
campbell
and
you
know,
put
more
housing
in,
but
this
is
just
too
intrusive
and
just
please
please
consider
this
put
a
pin
in
it
and
investigate
further.
Please
thank
you.
B
A
A
D
D
D
O
Thank
you
and
thank
you
to
the
community
members
who
spoke.
I
am
familiar
with
the
dry
creek
bascom
avenue
area.
I've
been
there
several
times,
looked
at
the
property
many
times
and
have
been
to
the
community
meetings.
I
want
to
thank
all
of
the
community
members
who
have
participated
in
those
community
meetings
and
and
gained
valuable
information
from
them.
I
also
want
to
thank
the
staff
rosalind
in
particular
and
your
staff
for
putting
together
a
thoughtful
analysis
of
the
project.
O
I
want
to
assure
the
the
callers
that
there
is
no
rubber
stamping
occurring
by
this
city
council.
I've
never
seen
the
city
council
rubber
stamp
anything
we're
very
thoughtful
about
the
approach
of
the
approaches
we
make
and
I'm
sure
the
comments
made
today
have
some
of
the
council
members
pondering
the
outcome,
as
it
has
me
pondering
the
outcome
and
that's
why
I
actually
have
a
few
questions.
O
There
were
several
community
meetings
and
I
have
met,
as
mentioned
before
by
the
community
separately
with
community
members,
to
discuss
some
of
the
issues.
The
developer
has
cut
back
on
the
project.
Initially,
it
was
four
stories
now
it's
three.
The
setbacks
have
been
taken
into
consideration
and
we
are.
O
This
is
a
senior
housing,
it's
memory
care
and
assisted
living
and
as
the
daughter
of
a
mother
who
died
in
assisted
living
well,
she
didn't
die
to
assist
the
living.
She
was
living
in
assisted
living
when
she
passed
away,
I'm
very
aware
of
access
and
concerns
for
elderly
being
able
to
move
around
quickly
or
easily
in
the
case
of
a
fire.
O
Appeal
seems
very
well
thought
out
and
of
concern,
so
can
I
can
you
assure
me
as
to
why
did
the
fire
department
approve
the
variance
and
how
difficult
will
it
be
for
a
fire
engine
to
navigate
around
that
property
but,
more
importantly,
more
likely
you're
going
to
have
an
ambulance
coming
in
than
you
are
a
fire
engine?
But
but
can
you
give
me
some
background
as
to
the
thought
of
the
fire
department
and
the
approval
there.
T
However,
applicants
can
take
advantage
of
design
features
that
would
also
ensure
safety
for
the
residents,
so
the
features
that
the
fire
department
did
review
for
this
project
include
greater
density,
a
fire,
sprinklers
stand
pipes,
a
smoke,
ventilator
and
actually
installation
of
a
new
fire
hydrant
off
of
dry
creek
road.
So,
with
these
enhanced
design
features,
the
fire
department
determined
that
the
width
of
that
asset
road
could
be
reduced.
T
T
O
T
They
could
so
what
happens
in
the
process
is
at
the
time
of
building.
Permit
application
is
actually
made
to
pbce,
and
then
we
would
route
the
plans
to
the
fire
department
for
their
review
and
they
would
have
to
do
the
fight.
That's
at
the
time
they
would
have
to
do.
The
final
sign
off
before
the
building
permit
could
be
issued.
T
Would
well,
I
I
think
I
know
where
you're
going
so
the
reason
for
that
additional
check
is
to
make
sure
that
the
applicant,
when
they
do
submit
their
drawings,
that
they
do
comply
with
the
variants
that
the
fire
department
previously
approved.
So
it's
it's
a
checking
to
make
sure
that
nothing
has
changed
on
the
plans
that
all
of
the
design
features
that
the
applicant
committed
to
are
in
fact
included,
and
if
they
are,
then
that's
when
the
the
applicant
would
be
allowed
to
move
forward
and
pull
the
building
permit.
T
I
think
that's
likely
not
to
happen,
because
the
fire
department
has
already
preliminarily
reviewed
these
design
features
and
has
indicated
that
they
are
acceptable.
So
I
can't
imagine
that
the
fire
department
would
change
their
mind
on
the
applicant.
It
would
be
only
if
the
applicant,
you
know,
makes
any
changes
that
don't
conform
to
what
the
council
is
looking
at
today,.
T
Yes,
I'm
not
sure
exactly
if
the
resident's
comment
were
about
the
setback
from
the
south
bascom
frontage,
but
as
I'm
reviewing
the
staff
report,
it
is
the
project
is
meeting
all
of
the
requirements
again.
I
know
there
is
concern
about
that.
15
foot
wide
easement,
so
perhaps
that
was
the
concern,
but
the
project
does
meet
all
of
the
setback
requirements.
R
D
D
D
E
A
A
Yeah,
absolutely
so
we'll
we'll
can
we
we're
going
to
consolidate
those
in
the
rules
committee?
Yes,
thank
you
so
we'll
go
to
that
presentation.
First,
so
first
I'll
call
4.1
independent
police
auditor
2019
year-end
report.
4.2
is
the
san
jose
police
department,
internal
affairs
unit,
2019
department,
initiated
investigations
report
all
right,
siobhan
welcome,
yes,
hello.
A
B
and
in
retrospect,
2019
was
a
pretty
tame
year,
unlike
2020,
we'll
be
reporting
on
that,
hopefully
sometime
in
the
early
spring
this
year,
our
report
got
delayed
for
a
number
of
reasons,
but
overall
2019,
the
statistics
and
data
were
not
remarkable.
We
didn't
see
any
big
trends
that
would
somehow
set
apart
this
year
from
prior
years,
so
I'm
going
to
just
go
through
some
just
basically
high-level,
slides
and
then
take
some
questions
after
the
department
presents
its
department
initiated
complaints.
B
So
basically
we
have
four
missions.
We
do
oversight
of
police
misconduct,
complaints
initiated
by
civilians.
We
do
outreach
to
the
community,
we
make
recommendations,
and
hopefully
we
provide
a
bridge
between
the
police
and
the
community.
It
serves
currently
we're
in
auditor
forum.
We
don't
do
any
investigations
and
we
do
not
have
a
role
in
department-initiated
complaints,
although
that
may
change,
depending
on
the
ballot
measure
in
november
2020.
B
B
B
This
is
the
trend
in
citizen-initiated
complaints.
It's
not
necessarily
the
trend
that
you
will
see
in
department
initiated
complaints
most
complaint
most
allegations
are
closed,
is
exonerated,
but
it
will
differ
in
terms
of
the
different
allegations.
So,
for
instance,
if
you
look
at
bias-based
policing
allegations
that
you'll
see
in
the
report,
the
vast
majority
of
those
are
deemed
unfounded.
B
This
year,
as
in
last
year's
and
most
years,
we
we
pretty
much
do
agree
that
internal
affairs
does
a
pretty
good
job,
so
most
of
them
are
closed
at
agree
at
first
review,
which
means
on
our
very
first
review
of
that
investigation,
we're
going
to
close
as
degree
meaning
with
a
preponderance
standard,
not
clear
and
convincing,
not
a
higher
standard,
but
with
preponderance
of
evidence
standard.
We
agree
that
the
investigation
was
fair,
thorough
and
complete.
B
B
B
You
know,
I
think
one
thing
that
strikes
me
is
that
we
had
recommended
the
department
make
a
more
robust,
early
warning
system
to
identify
potentially
problematic
officers,
and
this
also
dovetails
into
perhaps
identifying,
who
or
sh
who
are
who
should
not
be
a
field
training
officer.
If
we
had
more
information
to
identify
problem
officers
that
might
inform
them
the
field
training
officer
program
and
who
gets
picked
to
be
a
field.
B
Training
officer
just
want
to
make
sure
that
the
council
members
are
aware,
and
those
who
are
tuning
in
from
the
public-
that
we
do
have
an
interactive
survey
on
our
website,
and
we
hope
that
you
will
participate.
It's
a
quick
10
minute
community
survey
and
we
hope
you'll
join
in
a
couple
people
we'd
like
to
thank
our
advisory
committee.
F
F
F
F
Also,
the
department
responded
to
399
almost
400
000
calls
for
service
or
self-initiated
events
in
2019,
which
is
a
2800
increase
over
2018
and
based
on
these
numbers.
Conservative
estimates
show
our
community
contacts
are
well
over
800
000
within
the
community
and
regarding
officer-involved
shootings
last
in
2019,
we
had
four
such
events.
This
is
one
fewer
than
2018
and
eight
fewer
than
2015..
F
F
So
again,
thank
you
before
I
turn
the
presentation
over
to
lieutenant
stan
mcfadden.
I
just
want
to
quickly
remind
the
council
that
department
initiated
investigations
or
investig
investigations
that
are
started
from
within
the
department.
They
differ
from
those
that
are
citizen,
initiated
complaints
that
go
either
to
ia
or
to
the
ipa,
a
dii
or
department
initiative
investigations
initiated
through
the
office
of
the
chief
of
police.
P
Thank
you
chief.
I
want
to
start
by
saying
thank
you
to
the
mayor
and
council
and
our
community
members.
We
understand
that
the
public
trust
is
the
foundation
of
the
community
policing.
Therefore,
we
cannot
solely
rely
on
conduct
complaints
that
are
brought
to
our
attention
through
the
ipa's
office
or
through
the
complaints
that
come
into
ia.
P
P
P
The
most
common
allegation
received
in
2019
was
procedure,
followed
by
conduct
unbecoming
an
officer
I
would
refer
to
conduct
unbecoming
officer
as
kubo.
Moving
forward
of
the
102
allegations
received
in
2019
71
were
procedural
allegations
and
20
were
kubo
allegations
most
of
the
diis
involved
officers
with
zero
to
three
years
of
experience.
P
P
P
P
P
P
F
I'll
just
add
just
real,
quick
based
off.
What
stan
said
is
that
this
is
we,
the
departments
expected
this
a
little
bit.
We
knew
that
our
numbers
were
down
and
we're
rebuilding
the
department
so
having
a
young
department.
We
knew
going
into
this
that
younger
officers
sometimes
make
more
mistakes
and
we're
addressing
those
issues,
and
these
are
things.
F
R
B
Basically,
I'd
like
to
just
give
an
overview
that
I
didn't
indicate
before
and
that
the
the
format
of
the
report
is
very
different
from
prior
years
we
tried
to
make
the
report
shorter,
more
visually
appealing,
and
we
are
looking
for
feedback,
not
only
from
council
members
but
for
our
community,
that's
tuning
in
today
to
let
us
know
how
they
feel
about
that
format.
Thank
you.
A
Thank
you.
I
certainly
feel
it's
much
more
accessible
and
I
appreciate
the
the
use,
particularly
the
all
the
visuals,
the
charts
and
so
forth,
and
it's
very
very
helpful.
So
thank
you
for
your
willingness
to
to
try
a
new
approach.
I
think
it's
so
far
very
successful.
All
right.
We
have
several
members
of
the
community
like
to
speak.
So
we'll
start
with
a
person
with
a
name
with
the
using
the
call
in
user3.
H
L
L
That
seemed
to
come
back
four
years
later
and
do
the
same
to
san
jose
pd,
which
I
thought
was
funny,
but
in
june
of
2016
there
was
nobody
disciplined
for
dereliction
of
duty,
not
protecting
people
who
were
peacefully
going
to
see
donald
trump
speak
and
and
everyone
there.
I
know
you're
all
probably
wincing,
and
you
know
knee-jerking
all
there.
L
Now
he
we're
paying
him
until
what
december
disgusting
this
town's
disgusting
and
this
police
department
is
disgusting
and
you
guys
need
to
get
your
act
together
and
stop
trying
to
revenue
people
from
traffic,
fines
and
open
containers
and
jaywalking,
and
all
that
other
crap.
You
do.
You
wonder
why
people
don't
like
look
the
thugs
already,
don't
like
the
police
department
and
law-abiding
citizens,
don't
like
it!
A
H
Table
the
integrity
of
the
police
department
is
going
to
constantly
be
called
into
question.
That
is
a
state
law
that
was
passed
by
the
by
by
the
voters.
The
voters
of
this
of
this
state
felt
that
it
was
necessary
for
this
or
the
population
which
the
police
department
receives
100
percent
of
their
pay
from
the
taxes
we
are
their
employer
and
what
they
are
doing
is
the
police
department
is
taking
paternalistic
attitude
towards
the
citizens
that
they
serve.
H
R
Some
of
these
more
interesting
ideas
of
police
fund
and
reform
at
this
time
may
have
worked
through
progressive
un
constructs
at
some
point.
While
early
cobit,
19
relief
in
california
may
have
initially
come
from
republican
party
sources,
it
is
interesting
how
the
east
bay
and
alameda
county
have
turned
these
ideas
into
their
own,
offering
good
ways
how
to
factor
in
all
points
of
view,
in
the
work
towards
progressive
ideas,
values
and
principles.
R
Local
governments
have
a
certain
advantage
of
information
over
everyday
community
where
the
ideas
of
defund,
demilitarize,
reform
and
reimagine
come
from.
This
shouldn't
take
away
from
the
years
of
complaint
and
important
concepts.
Sj
community
and
local
government
have
been
developing
for
decades
now.
R
Sjpd
whistleblower
programs,
sjpd
peer
review
programs,
a
more
open
review
of
sjpd
data
collection
practices
and
even
the
ideas
of
eventually
ending
body
cameras
themselves.
All
together
in
them
are
the
more
shared
ideas
of
a
positive,
sustainable
community
future.
All
of
these
are
important
negotiating
ideas
and
how
to
relax
the
dii
process
for
everyone
involved.
K
I'm
very
very
disturbed
to
read
the
information
that
these
police
department
relied
on
and
its
response
to
the
memorial
day.
Protests
all
these
inflated
things
about
antifa,
and
you
know
masked
invaders
and
stuff
like
that,
and
I'm
also
very
concerned
by
the
previous
color,
referring
to
the
peaceful
protesters
as
put
in
masked
marauders
or
whatever
the
word
was.
He
used
we're
in
shelter
in
place
or
supposed
to
be
wearing
masks.
Nobody
was
wearing
hoods
and
I
very
much
disagree
with
that.
K
Characterization
of
people
like
derek
sanderlin
from
pact
the
police
observers
such
as
sean
cartwright
and
all
the
other.
You
know,
and
the
teenagers
who
were
peacefully
chanting
when
the
police
started,
hitting
them
with
tear
gas
and
rub
and
the
baton
projectiles
whatever
those
are
called
rubber
bullets
and
we
don't
need
to
have
an
invading.
We
don't
have
need
to
have
a
police
force
that
treats
our
citizens
as
their
invading
army.
K
A
H
What
I
wanted
to
refer
to
was
sb
1421,
but
the
integrity
of
the
police,
department
and
police
officers
know
that
you
don't
know
what
other
secrets.
Okay,
we
need
to
put
that
out
on
the
table.
I've
got
30
years
of
experience
with
senator
police
department
about
30
years
experience
with
county
deal
with
edward.
H
I
know
what
I'm
talking
about,
I'm
not
talking
about
just
because
I
don't
like
police
officers,
they're
absolutely
necessary
in
order
to
protect
the
democracy
that
we
have
today
or
any
semblance
of
it,
so
they
are
absolutely
necessary,
but
what
they
are
also.
What
is
also
a
necessary
component
of
policing
is
that
they
have
a
degree
of
humility
to
accept
their
wrongs
and
their
faults.
H
What
happens
is
what
we
have
today?
A
person
gets
arrested.
They
get
locked
up
within
five
to
ten
minutes.
The
press
already
has
that
in
person's
entire
background,
and
it
implies
that
somehow
that
person
deserves
the
treatment
that
they
received
from
the
police
department.
They're
gonna,
do
that
automatically
we
as
the
public
don't
have
access
to
those
records
of
those
police
officers
that
are
wrong.
They
do
not
belong
as
officers,
they
just
do
not
belong
in
the
police
department.
Number
one
number
two
is
the
culture.
H
The
culture
of
the
police
department
is
such
that
it
produces
jerry
greens
gary
nguyen
is
not
an
independent
officer.
No,
he
appeared
as
a
part
of
a
culture
that
supported
that
kind
of
attitude.
That's
why
he
was
so
bold
and
being
able
to
stand
out
there
like
he
did
like
get
monster
going
and
he
was
going
to
hurt
the
public
cussing
them
out.
Hey.
What
do
you
mean
brother?
I
pay
your
salary.
H
H
We
keep
hearing
that
the
police
numbers
are
too
low.
Well,
let's
get
a
new
recruiting
team.
Let's
stop
accepting
that.
They
can't
build
the
members
change
out.
The
management
hire
a
consultant,
but
we
need
to
stop
accepting
the
excuse
of.
We
don't
have
enough
officers
what's
actually
happening
for
members
of
the
public
that
are
listening.
H
These
officers
can
make
over
100k
a
year
in
overtime,
so
they
purposely
keep
the
numbers
low,
so
officers
can
get
overtime
and
what
I
think
we
should
do
is
take
away
their
ability
to
give
us
excuses
by
bringing
in
a
new
recruiting
team,
because
if
we
do
bring
a
new
recruiting
team
they're
going
to
have
the
same
excuse
and
at
that
point
we
can
start
taking
away
the
overtime
and
magically
the
numbers
will
increase.
Thank
you.
