Let
me
go
back
one,
so
the
San
Jose
is
served
by
extraordinary
teams
in
the
transportation
Aviation
service
area.
Our
airport
and
transportation
departments
are
recognized
as
among
the
best
in
the
nation
in
their
fields.
They
sustain
safe,
secure,
efficient
and
Equitable
transportation
in
support
of
our
community
life
economic
vitality,
and
that
is
our
CSA
Mission.
There
are
also
differentiators
or
San
Jose
mineta
International
Airport
is
a
city
Enterprise,
and
their
funding
is
supported
by
revenues
they
generate.
E
Our
Department
of
Transportation
receives
significant
federal
and
state
grants
that
you
see
in
the
budget
and
that
helps
them
with
the
portfolio
of
work
and
both
work
very
closely
with
our
federal
state
and
local
Partners
to
ensure
services
and
Investments
produce
Key
Community
outcomes,
while
maximizing
the
use
of
non-city
resources
across
the
operating
programs
shown.
Our
community
has
a
history
of
excellence
in
transportation.
Aviation
includes
multiple
honors
for
operational
excellence,
performance
against
National
benchmarks
and
just
like
to
brag
on
Airport.
F
Foreign
thank
you
mayor
council,
I'm,
Judy
Ross,
the
assistant
director
of
the
airport,
Department,
we'll
just
touch
on
a
couple
of
the
measures
that
are
before
you
and
I
like
to
call
your
attention
to
the
upper
left,
and
this
is
our
annual
passengers
and,
as
you
can
see,
we
were
down
quite
a
bit
due
to
the
pandemic.
However,
we've
been
steadily
Rising
back
to
our
2019
levels
and
before
too
long
we
should
achieve
the
2019
levels.
F
The
next
measure
right
under
it
is
our
overall
satisfaction
rating.
It's
the
rating
that
we
do
receive
from
the
airport
service
quality
program
from
the
airport,
Council
International
and
those
are
based
on
quarterly
surveys
from
our
passengers
and,
as
you
can
see,
we
have
a
pretty
it's
great
rating
for
the
overall
satisfaction.
F
Our
concessions,
particularly
the
restaurants
and
eating
establishments,
have
a
little
bit
lower
and
that
is
due
to
several
constructions.
Several
of
the
concessions
being
under
construction
and
also
some
labor
hiring
challenges,
and
the
last
one
is
our
share
of
the
Bay
Area
service
market
and,
of
course,
San
Francisco
is
always
the
number
one
has
the
greatest
share
of
the
passengers.
G
Thank
you,
Judy
John
Rizzo,
director
of
Transportation.
If
I
could
direct
your
attention
to
the
top
middle
under
Traffic,
Safety
traffic
and
system
safety
is
always
our
top
priority,
and
although
we
have
had
the
trend
going
in
the
wrong
direction
for
the
last
couple
of
years,
I
think
with
the
efforts
of
the
vision,
zero
task
force
and
all
the
work
being
done
by
the
multiple
departments,
Police
Department,
Department
of
Transportation
and
others
I
think
we're
going
to
try
to
turn
that
Trend
around
the
percentage
that
you
see
right
there.
G
The
estimate
is
injuries
per
1000
per
capita.
It
is
a
goal
we
we're
trying
to
meet
that
goal
and
actually
reduce
that
as
well.
So
this
is
our
top
priority.
Everything
we
do
is
trying
to
make
that
work
in
the
right
direction.
The
next
one
I
just
want
to
highlight
is
the
quality
of
roads,
and
this
is
going
the
right
way.
G
This
is
actually
a
very,
very
successful
program
that
we
were
lucky
enough
with
a
lot
of
taxpayer
and
city
council
mayor's
support
to
have
enough
funding
to
Really
Turn
Around,
the
quality
and
conditions
of
the
city's
roadway
system.
We're
already
at
71
71
as
a
pavement
condition
index.
We
started
this
a
number
of
years
ago
and
it
was
about
63.
So
it's
definitely
going
the
right
direction.
G
I
think
when
we
complete
our
eight-year
program
of
Paving,
every
Road
in
the
city,
I
think
we'll
even
see
it
better
than
that
the
other
one
transition
mode
shift
is
a
little
tough
to
continue
to
measure
with,
since
the
covid
really
changed
many
of
their
commute
patterns
and
mode
shift
patterns.
But
that's
one.
That's
we're
trying
to
make
a
major
change
in
terms
of
how
people
get
around
the
city
and
I
think
we're
making
some
positive
progress
on
that
as
well.
A
F
Has
the
overall
budget
summary
for
their
part
in
the
transportation
department?
As
you
note,
there
is
a
nine
percent
increase
in
the
overall
budget
from
the
current
year
to
next
year
and
that
increases
basically
comprised
of
contract
increases
in
contractual
Services
increases
in
overhead
and
interview
Department
expenses
and
our
debt
service
payments.
And
you
also
under
we
are
requesting
five
additional
positions
at
the
airport
and
to
our
in
facilities
to
assist
with
our
heavy
equipment
such
as
the
jet
Bridges,
the
escalators
and
elevators.
G
The
transportation
portion
of
the
operating
budget
is
pretty
stable
and
static.
What
we're
trying
to
do
is
actually
we
could
continue
the
current
service
levels
we're
trying
to
make
some
positions
that
were
temporary,
more
permanent
and
add
some
key
positions
to
support
some
of
the
areas
such
as
Grant
procurement
and
evaluation
and
monitoring,
but
overall
budget's
pretty
stable
and
consistent.
F
Okay,
I
did
talk
about
the
additional
Staffing
with
facilities
and
environmental.
The
one
I
didn't
talk
about
is
subscribing
to
the
Silicon
Valley
Regional
communication
system,
and
that
has
to
do
with
the
radio
system
and
it's
currently
we
operate
our
own,
and
this
would
allow
us
to
subscribe
to
a
regional
system
for
a
higher
reliability
and
the
interoperability.
If
an
emergency
event
would
take
place.
G
And
as
I
mentioned
in
the
previous
slide,
our
budget
is
primarily
pretty
static,
just
trying
to
keep
current
Staffing
levels.
However,
we
are
adding
some
resources
to
do
some
important
things.
This
is
a
great
time
for
us
to
be
going
after
federal
and
state
grants,
so
we're
adding
some
resources
there
and
then
one
of
the
most
important
things
is.
We're
really
want
to
evaluate
the
performance
of
a
lot
of
the
of
the
measures
that
we
are
putting
into
the
street
system,
both
safety
and
other
multimodal
performance.
F
F
G
And
then
for
Department
of
Transportation,
as
I
mentioned
earlier,
our
highest
priority
is
traffic
safety
and
we're
very
fortunate
to
have
an
active,
Vision,
zero
program
and
task
force
to
help
us
to
get
there
with
this
budget.
We
hope
to
be
able
to
continue
our
quick
build
of
the
vision,
zero
corridors,
the
priority
safety
corridors
throughout
the
city
and
really
complete
many
of
those.
G
Within
this
budget
we
just
launched-
and
many
of
you
were
involved
in
a
press
conference
for
our
roadway
safety
campaign,
appealing
to
drivers
of
slow
down
thinking,
council,
member
Dewan,
the
mayor
and
task
force,
chair,
Pam
Foley,
for
that
I
think
it's
already
been
successful.
The
other
one
of
the
other,
really
big
programs-
that's
important
to
us-
is
expansion
of
our
regional
system
and
we've
got
some
very
big
projects,
either
underway
now
or
shortly
to
be
both
on
the
highway
side,
large
roadway
projects
to
make
them
safer
and
a
Bart
project.
G
That's
going
to
start
in
the
next
year.
So
we've
got
a
lot
of
big
projects
that
are
coming
on
board
and
online
with
for
the
city
and
I
think
they
will
be
really
City.
Changing
projects
over
the
long
term,
although
the
current
backlog,
the
one
time
always
looks
like
it's
insurmountable,
I,
think
with
the
pavement
program
and
the
success
we've
had
with
funding
a
large
portion,
we
chipped
away
at
this
every
year.
G
F
Okay,
just
to
summarize,
as
I
mentioned
before,
we
keep
a
laser
focus
on
growing
our
service
market
area
and
our
offerings
to
the
regional
community
and
we'll
continue
to
provide
a
exceptional
and
outstanding
customer
service
when
you're
number
one
it's
even
more
difficult,
because
more
is
expected
of
you
to
stay
number
one.
It's
important
to
us
to
being
mindful,
as
we
work
with
our
Airlines
and
tenants
to
have
competitive
rates
and
a
competitive
cost
per
employee
passenger
and
we're
in
a
competitive
market
with
two
other
airports
in
the
region.
F
So
we
must
remain
competitive
in
the
region.
We
also
focus
on
ensuring
we
are
good
environmental
stewards
and
are
progressing
through
our
sustainability
management
plan
and
our
Net
Zero
carbon
accreditation
and
part
of
that.
Last
year
we
did
join
the
San
Jose,
clean
energy,
total
green
program
and
so
for
All
City
Airport
buildings
at
the
airport.
F
We
are
100,
green
energy
and
last
not
last
but
not
least,
is
that
we
do
watch
how
our
passenger
Trends
are,
and
so
when
the
operational
need
is,
and
the
financial
Financial
metrics
are
met
will
proceed
with
the
new
terminal
project.
F
But
in
the
meantime,
we
are
working
through
those
facilities
and
relocating
those
facilities
that
are
in
the
footprint
for
the
terminal
expansion.
So
you'll
have
seen
some
of
those
and
you'll
continue
to
see
some
of
those
projects.
So
when
the
time
is
right,
we
can
pursue
the
terminal
Expansion
Project.
G
H
Great
thank
you.
Thank
you
for
your
presentations
on
the
airport
and
our
transportation
system.
I
appreciate
both
I'm
going
to
focus
Judy
on
Transportation,
because
Others
May
focus
on
the
airport
I
want
to
first
start
off
by
thanking
the
really
hard-working
Department
of
Transportation.
H
We
really
have
a
world-class
team.
They
work
really
hard
and
effectively
and
efficiently
to
try
to
make
our
streets
safe
and
do
the
best
we
can
and
work
with
vision,
zero
and
and
trying
to
implement
the
things
we
need
to
to
make
our
streets
safe,
so
I'm,
truly
grateful
for
all
the
Department
of
Transportation
is
doing
as
the
chair
of
the
vision,
zero
task
force,
safety,
Street
safety
safety
is
extremely
important
to
me.
H
I
think
it's
important
to
all
of
us,
but
I
I
feel
a
special
burden,
because
I
am
the
chair
of
that
task,
force
and
special
burden
and
passion.
Let's
put
it
that
way,
the
budget
adds
new
Staffing,
which
I
am
grateful,
that
the
new
Staffing
is
being
added
to
improve
our
grant
writing
or
to
monitor
our
grant
writing
to
implement
projects.
John.
H
We
heard
from
you
a
couple
of
months
ago
that
you
had
the
money
you
needed
for
the
Capital
Improvements,
but
that
you
couldn't
deliver
the
project
yet
so,
hopefully
with
the
Staffing
that
will
come
in
into
place.
So
I
want
to
thank
the
mayor
for
including
that
in
his
budget
message,
and
also
the
city
manager
for
including
it
in
hers,
I
also
want
to
encourage.
H
H
H
Yeah,
it
might
be
helpful,
I
know.
Vision.
Zero
is
really
focused
on
the
fatalities
to
have
that
information
for
Council
as
well.
I
know
we
talk
about
65
being
last
year
and
being
the
high
water
mark,
and
we
just
cannot
have
65
again
this
year
and
we're
doing
what
we
can,
but
it
might
be
helpful
to
have
that
reference
somewhere.
H
So
the
two
or
the
Staffing
that
we're
adding
one
we're
adding
one
is
we're
making
permanent.
Is
it
the
goal
of
those
staff
members
to
one
Monitor
and
obtain
grants
and
the
other
to
deliver
projects.
G
H
G
Position
also
is
going
to
help
us
with
the
before
and
after
evaluations
of
not
just
safety
projects
but
multimodal
as
well.
You
know,
so.
We've
got
a
lot
of
different
changes
going
into
the
system
with
bike
Lanes
Etc,
and
we
want
to
make
sure
that
they're
effective
so
that
those
those
people
are
going
to
help
do
both
of
those
great.
H
G
H
And
will
you
be
as
you
can,
as
you
look
forward
as
you
hire
those
people
Implement
their
job
descriptions?
Will
you
be
analyzing,
whether
you
you
already
mentioned
whether
you
need
more
Staffing,
but
is
there
potentially,
but
is
there
a
realignment
that
might
be
able
to
occur
within
the
current
number
of
Staff
positions?
You
have.
G
Possibly
yeah
I
think
that's
you
know
what
we're
doing
is
trying
to
get
that.
We've
already
started
doing
evaluation
as
you've
seen
some
of
the
evaluations
coming
through
the
vision,
zero
task
force,
but
we
still
need
all
the
other
projects
that
we're
putting
out
in
the
field
to
be
also
an
evaluation.
Before
and
after
so
the
answer,
your
question
is:
yeah
we're
going
to
keep
looking
at
it
to
see.
If
we
have
enough
staff
to
keep
up
with
that
and
when
we
find
something
that
needs
to
change,
then
how
fast
we
can
make
those
changes.
G
H
Thank
you,
I
appreciate
that
and
and
I
see,
my
time
is
up,
but
I
just
want
to
make
one
final
comment
about
the
street
safety
improvements
that
we
made,
the
quick
builds
and
all
of
that
and
and
for
those
residents
who
live
in
my
district.
That
I've
had
two
of
these
occur
on
Blossom,
Hill
and
or
on
Hillsdale
and
Branham
they're
there
to
stay,
drive,
safely,
slow
down
and
then
we'll
analyze
the
data
in
a
year
and
see
how
it
works.
So
with
that
I
yield
no
time
foreign.
I
If
I
could
just
add
Jim
Shannon
City's
budget
director
on
the
your
question
on
the
the
fatalities,
although
we
don't
show
it
in
the
way
that
the
dashboard
has
it
in
the
depart
in
the
transportation
department,
core
service,
Transportation
safety
and
operations,
we've
got
on
page
777..
We
do
have
the
number
of
pedestrian
and
bike
fatalities
broke
out
for
children
and
seniors,
as
well
as
the
overall
number
of
traffic
fatalities
as
well
as
pedestrian.
So
we
break
out
sort
of
that
data
in
a
pretty
detailed
way
in
the
department
section.
J
Thank
you
mayor,
thank
you
staff
for
putting
together
a
report
and
thank
you
for
supporting
the
vision.
Zero
I
just
have
a
pretty
quick
question.
I
I
know
that
Vision
zero.
We
we've
done
billboard
advertisement
and
we're
looking
to
I,
think
radio
and
and
television
advertisement
would
be
possibly
the
and
social
media
would
be
the
next
step
or
where
pushing
that.
G
Thank
you,
council
member.
The
campaign
that
was
just
launched
does
include
Billboards
and
a
lot
of
physical
signs
both
on
buses
and
yard
signs.
K
L
Good
afternoon,
thank
you
for
for
your
presentation
this
morning.
My
questions
are
going
to
be
directed
to
the
airport,
so
Judy
just
get
ready
and
I
just
want
to
just
give
comments
on
Vision
zero.
We
we
all
know
that
Vision
zero
is
extremely
important
and
60
plus
pedestrian
debts
is
just
too
many
for
our
city.
One
is
too
many.
L
Obviously,
but
60
is
just
is
atrocious
and
so
I'm
so
glad
that
our
city
has
been
stepping
up
and
making
sure
that
Vision
zero
becomes
a
reality,
and
thank
you
to
our
department
of
transportation
for
stepping
up
in
recent
years,
with
the
all
the
other
funding
that's
been
coming
in
and
making
sure
that
we
have
safe,
neighborhoods
and
schools,
where
kids
could
attend
without
fear
of
being
hit
by
cars.
So
thank
you
for
that.
L
Judy
I
have
a
couple
questions
before
my
time
is
up,
because
this
time
goes
super
fast,
so
I've
been
I've
been
asked
by
a
few
leaders
in
the
Portuguese
community
on.
Why
why
we
do
not
have
a
direct
flight
to
Portugal
I
know
that
we
did
before
and
I'm
not
sure
if
it's
come
back.
I
know
that
there's
a
flight
to
Boston
and
then
to
Portugal,
but
then
there's
no
direct
flight
and
I
think
it
was
only
offered
in
the
summer.
That's
what
they
were
telling
me.
F
Councilmember
Taurus
I'm,
don't
recall
a
direct
flight
to
Portugal,
not
to
say
it
didn't
happen.
I.
F
Okay,
we,
we
can
do
some
research
on
that.
However,
we
do
have
an
active
air
service
team
that
goes
out
to
the
market
and
works
with
the
different
business
associations
to
capture
data
where
people
want
to
go
and
what
I
can
do
is
I
can
share
the
information
with
that
team
and
see
just
what
the
market
is
available
and
who
is
out
there
to
serve
it.
He
does
that
the
the
lead
in
that
area,
the
manager
does
attend
various
air
service
industry,
Air
Service
meetings
and
has
individual
meanings
of
several
Airlines.
L
Great,
no
thank
you
and
I
do
know.
They
have
told
me
that
they
either
have
to
go
to
SFO
or
Oakland,
which
I
don't
know
where
those
cities
are
at
I'm
just
kidding,
but
they
have
to
go
to
San
Francisco
Auckland
to
go
to.
You
know
good
to
go
back
to
go
to
Portugal
and
we
would
love
our
Portuguese
Community
to
obviously
you
know
come
to
our
airport
to
go
home
and
come
back
right
to
visit
family.
L
So
I
know
you
know
personally
my
my
first
cousin
she
married
into
the
you
know,
Portuguese
community
and
when
she
has
to
come
here
and
visit
family,
we
have
to
go
pick
her
up
in
SFO
or
Oakland,
because
there's
no
direct,
there's
no
direct
flight
and
and
with
that,
how
does
our
airport
Market
San
Jose
for
new
carriers
to
come
to
the
airport.
F
I'm
very
similar
to
what
I
described
for
the
Portuguese
flights.
We
do
have
a
marketing
campaign.
We
have
different
Air,
Service
and
I
would
like
better
terms,
incentives
in
which
we
can
offer
that
have
improved
by
the
program's
been
approved
by
the
FAA
like
and
like
I
said.
Our
air
service
manager
does
attend
several
industry
networking
events
where
he
has
specific
meetings
with
different
airlines.
F
He
does
significant
amount
of
research,
so
he
can
justify
and
approve
an
airline
servicing
a
specific
market,
so
he's
not
only
looking
at
new
Airlines
he's,
also
looking
at
our
existing
carriers
and
expanding
their
service
offerings
through
our
airport.
In
addition,
he
does
do
headquarter
Airline,
headquarter
trips
to
have
conversations.
A
F
A
different
scheduling,
so
there's
many
different
facets
to
the
program
them
that
we
work
through
and
try
to
encourage
different
service
to
different
markets
and
probably,
most
importantly,
is
to
really
find
What
markets.
Our
regional
Community
are
interested
in,
and
so
there's
also
work
with
the
different
business
associations
in
the
region
as
well.
Great.
L
L
And
go
wherever
we
need
to
go
so
congratulations
and
keep
up
the
good
work.
F
B
M
M
Most
of
our
residents
are
able
to
adopt
the
safe
practices
with
your
education
campaign
and
putting
protected
bike
lanes
and
others,
but
some
of
them
don't
manage
to
respect
or
a
safe
practices,
so
you're
beginning
to
get
the
use
of
the
technology
to
help
you
there.
You
have
the
red
light.
Cameras
are
now
violation,
cameras
are
legal
and
speed
cameras,
AV
465
will
make
it
legal.
Do
you
have
any
plans
for
those
to
be
used
and
have
the
money
in
the
budget
for
using
those.
G
Thank
you,
councilmember
John,
Aristo,
director
of
Transportation.
Are
you
referring
to
the
red
light
running
cameras?
We
did
get
some
budget
last
year
from
Council
to
install
a
pilot
project
of
a
couple
of
intersections
of
red
light
cameras.
We
have
current
Statewide
authority
to
do
that,
so
we
do
have
budget
we're,
selecting
some
locations
and
we'll
probably
be
implementing
those
in
the
fall.
G
I
think
you're,
referring
to
a
current
statute
or
current
legislation.
That's
going
through
the
assembly
right
now,
which
is
simply
Bill
645,
which
would
allow
us
for
to
install
speed,
automated
speed
enforcement
cameras,
which
could
they
could
be
placed
on
certain
streets
within
the
city
according
to
the
legislation,
so
we're
waiting
to
see
if
that
legislation
gets
out
of
the
legislature.
If
it
does,
then
we
would
need
to
have
some
budget
to
actually
Implement
something
like
that.
G
Should
the
legislation
get
through
and
we
certainly
hope
so
that
this
is
looking
actually
more
promising
than
the
previous
four
times.
We've
done
this,
we
would
work
with
budget
office
to
see
if
even
if
there
would
be
a
mid-year
or
something
sooner
than
waiting
for
the
next
budget
year,
but
we're
we're
hopeful
that
it
gets
through
and
I'm
sure,
because
of
the
importance
of
this
new
tool
that
we
would
return
to
council
and
see
if
there
would
be
a
budget
act
that
we
could
actually
get
something
started
earlier.
Yeah.
M
M
B
N
Yeah,
thank
you.
Just
a
few
questions,
one
about
the
airport
Judy,
it
seems
like
you,
you.
Obviously,
the
the
passenger
numbers
are
increasing,
we're
getting
back
to
where
we
were,
but
I'm
often
curious
about
the
capacity
of
our
airport.
You
know,
assuming
we
brought
in
everyone,
we
wanted
to
bring
in
all
the
different
airlines
a
direct
flight
to
Portugal
or
whatever
it
may
be.
But
what
is
the
campaign
we're
going
to
get
a
new
terminal?
But
what
is
the
capacity
that
we
have
to
bring
online
these
various
Airlines.
F
Okay,
the
current
capacity
we're
kind
of
in
Balance
right
now,
because
we
did
add
temporary
Gates
during
the
height
of
our
growth
before
2020.,
so
our
gate
capacity
has
been
estimated
around
18
million.
However,
that's
the
gates-
and
we
have
several
processing
systems
before
you
get
to
the
gate,
such
as
the
security
checkpoint,
the
landsat
operation,
the
ticket
counter
and
then
also
the
baggage
claim
systems,
and
that
capacity
is
at
14.5
million.
So,
as
we
start
approaching,
that
number
our
land
side
and
prior
to
Security
will
be
first
to
be
very
congested.
F
F
N
To
someone
obviously
don't
work
at
the
airport,
but
I
use
it
frequently.
I
guess,
I'm
off
I
often
think
that
the
the
bottleneck,
if
you
will
to
allowing
us
to
really
grow
as
much
as
possible,
bringing
all
the
airlines
we
want
are
really
the
runways.
But
where
is
maybe
that's
my
ignorance,
but
where
is
the
bottleneck
to
growth?
If
you
will,
is
it
just
the
number
of
terminals?
Is
it?
Is
it
the
capacity
on
the
front
end
say
all
the
you
know,
security
points
or.
F
Thank
you
for
that
question.
As
far
as
the
runways
we
have
substantial
capacity
and
that's
we
did
that
study
with
the
runway
incursion
mitigation
program
back
and
well.
It
was
finally
approved
by
the
fa
in
like
2001.,
so
we
have
substantial
capacity
on
the
two
run
noise
and
we
were
able
to
close
the
small
Journal
Aviation
Runway
because
we
did
not
need
it
for
capacity.
So
it's
not
the
Run
Noise
Okay
and
as
I
mentioned,
it's
the
front
end
systems
and
the
undersized
hold
rooms.
F
Such
right-
and
that
would
be
if
our
projected
growth
holds
it'd,
be
within
a
couple
years.
Okay,
so
it's
approaching
and
we're
watching
it
there's
certain
mitigation
measures
that
we
can
do
to
mitigate.
But
what
we'll
see
is
a
decreased
level
of
customer
service
right.
N
Wait
times:
okay,
thank
you
for
that
and
just
a
question.
A
few
questions
for
you,
John
apologize,
I,
didn't
I,
haven't
asked
this
in
a
while.
But
hopefully
you
know
the
answer
you
have
these
intelligent
folks
in
the
audience
know
the
answer,
but
the
the
Branham
Lane
expansion
that
was
I
know
there
was
it
was
lacking
funding
and
such
do.
You
do
you
have
a
census
to
where
that
is.
K
G
N
N
All
right
and
the
other
question
I
have
is
related
to
well.
Let
me
just
First
Express,
a
pet
peeve
of
mine
is
that
our
streets,
that
obviously
we
have
vast
number
of
streets
I,
know
that
there
are
on
any
given
day
any
given.
Second,
there
is
a
contractor
with
a
PG
e,
whether
it
be
some
of
the
cable
comp,
whatever
they're
digging
up
our
streets
and
so
what
they
do
after
is
they.
It
seems
to
me
they
attempt
I'll
emphasize
that
word
attempt
to
bring
it
back
to
its
original
condition.
N
G
Well,
that's
a
source
sore
spot
for
us,
especially
when
we're
out
there
doing
a
great
job
of
actually
redoing
all
of
our
streets.
What
we
do
do
in
advance
every
year
of
our
Paving
program,
we
coordinate
with
public
works
and
all
the
utilities,
PG
e
and
other
utilities
every
year
to
get
the
schedules
that
they
may
need
to
do
to
get
into
our
streets.
We
try
to
coordinate
that
so
they're
not
coming
after.
We
do
a.
G
G
Sometimes
there's
emergencies
that
have
to
occur
right
so
and
when,
when
we
we
do
have
to
have
a
utility
contractor
cut
into
our
street,
Public
Works
will
permit
them
and
monitor
the
construction
and
they
are
supposed
to
make
they're
supposed
to
return
that
to
drivable
quality.
It
doesn't
always
look
like
that.
Sometimes
it.
G
Or
feel
like
that,
sometimes
it
takes
them
a
while
for
that
roadway
to
reach
back
to
where
we
are.
So
it's
always
a
problem
for
us
with
so
many
so
much
work
going
on
Underground
we're.
We
manage
it
pretty
well,
but
it
always
comes
up
as
an
issue,
so
we're
trying
to
coordinate
it,
but
it
can't
be
perfect
and
there's
always
an
emergency
and
there's
so
much
work
going
on
underground,
some
of
it,
our
own
that
has
to
occur
and.
A
G
Yeah
there's
a
lot
of
work
out
there,
a
lot
of
utility,
Cuts,
large
and
small
and
I
think
the
best
thing
is
if,
if
those
utility
cuts
are
causing
Road
quality
issue
or
performance
or
condition
letting
us
know
about
that
through
our
3-1-1
pothole,
we've
got
a
great
crew
that
responds
very
promptly
to
those
kind
of
things.
G
So,
if
that,
if
that
cut
is
not
up
to
Quality
and
the
utility
is
not
being
asked
and
sometimes
they're
long
gone,
but
if
the
utility
is
not
able
to
go
and
fix
that,
then
we
will
have
to
fix
it.
But
we
need
to
know
about
it.
We
don't
necessarily
just
drive
around
looking
for
those
kind
of
things,
so
we
really
do
need
Public's
help
to
actually
know
where
they
are.
Thank.
N
B
G
Well
again,
the
the
permitting
of
all
the
utility
Cuts
coming
through
public
works,
so
we
coordinate
with
them
on
that.
So
it
would
be
something
that
we
would
need
to
know
about
it
and
then,
if
and
if
it's
still
within
a
recent
time
frame
that
that
utility
can
go
back
and
fix
that
that's
the
way
we'd
like
to
do
it.
Sometimes
that's
just
not
the
case.
So
then
we'll
need
to
go
out
there
and
and
do
the
work.
G
B
B
Is
okay
just
be
good
to
know
and
then
councilman
Jimenez
one
other
thing
you
mentioned
that
I
may
have
not
properly
passed
off
to
you
with
redistricting
was
on
the
Branham
widening.
Are
we
still
working
with
County
parks
to
try
to
create
an
additional
entrance
at
that
new
signal
to
Marshall
Cottle
I'm.
G
Going
to
say
yes,
I
think
we
did
get
to
that
that
my
last
recollection
of
where
we
were
with
that
is
that,
with
that
signal
was
going
to
allow
us
to
have
a
new
pedestrian
and
maybe
into
the
parking
lot.
I
think
that's
correct
and
I'll
confirm
that,
after
at
the
meeting,
but
I
believe
so,
okay.
B
P
Thank
you.
First
of
all,
I'd
like
to
acknowledge
the
great
work
that
your
staff
does.
John
I
really
feel
that
you
know
I
ask
a
lot
of
questions
and
they've
been
really
responsive.
They've
been
responsive
to
my
staff,
so
I
just
want
to
say.
Thank
you
on
that
front.
I
noticed
that
you
have
several
positions,
but
none
have
to
do
with
a
particular
pain
point
that
I
have
in
my
district,
which
is
parking,
compliance
and
vehicles.
G
More
that
we
don't
have
the
positions
filled,
I,
think,
okay,
yeah,
so
we're
we
are
still
at
a
vacancy
rate
of
maybe
17
to
20
percent
out
of
out
of
parking
compliance
so,
but
we're
we
are
hiring
so
we're
doing
better.
Okay,
we
are
on
another
item,
that's
coming
to
council
about
vehicle
abatement
and
vehicle
plight.
We
are
looking
at
ways
to
actually
augment
our
services
out
there
through
either
current
budget
with
some
additional
contract.
We
do
have
contract
staff
as
well
that
we
do
that
assist
us
with
parking
compliance.
G
So
we
have
not
we're
not
sure
if
that's
going
to
be
a
necessary
budget
ad,
but
right
now
I
think
we're.
Okay,
it's
just
trying
to
fill
those
positions.
Okay,.
G
How
what
we're
doing
with
a
number
of
areas
of
vehicle
flight,
okay,
so
you're
going
to
hear
quite
a
bit
about
that
customer.
P
Thank
you
and
then
I
just
wanted
to
make
a
comment
on
the
airport.
I
attended
an
event
this
week,
which
had
a
lot
of
sort
of
international.
They
are
trying
to
bring
diplomats
to
the
area
and
in
the
in
November
time
frame
and
I
was
really
surprised
and
pleasantly
surprised
that
the
airport
San
Jose
Airport
was
represented
because
there's
going
to
be
a
bunch
of
protocols
and
you
know,
sort
of
security
that
needs
to
and
they're
coming
through,
San
Jose,
even
though
the
conference
is
in
San
Francisco
they're
coming
here.
P
D
A
D
D
I
also
want
to
thank
you
because
in
the
last
last
year
we
had
a
lot
of
conversations
about
the
the
tree
mitigation
fee
budget
and
I've
I've,
seen
a
lot
of
progress
happening
across
the
city
and
using
that
money
with
the
new
contract
and
getting
trees
planted,
and
so
I
I
appreciate
that
and
that
we
don't
have
to
have
a
conversation
this
year
about
how
we
fund
some
of
that
work,
because
we
now
are
doing
it
and
then
I
do
see
that
this
week,
the
in
the
airport,
we
we
got
the
IR
out
for
the
new
terminal.
D
So
I
know
that
there's
some
a
few
years
off
before.
We
might
start
that
work,
but
I'm
excited
about
the
thinking
ahead
about
about
getting
that
terminal
built
to
do
the
expansion
to
get
more
holding
space
for
passengers,
but
also
more
a
few
more
gates
and
the
the
thoughtfulness
about
how
the
temporary
terminal
was
built
to
keep
operations.
Moving
during
that
construction
is
actually
I,
think
a
a
great
lesson
for
everyone
and
how
we,
you
know,
do,
plan
and
deal
with
capacity
while
also
working
short
term
and
long
term.
F
Q
I
think
mayor,
you
know
I
I
too,
wanted
to
thank
staff
for
the
presentation
and
and
I
know
the
good
work
that
our
airport
in
dot
Department
of
Transportation
does.
Q
Unfortunately,
since
I
took
office,
I've
had
I
haven't,
had
the
opportunity
to
utilize
the
airport
as
much
as
I
I
did
previously,
but
I
look
forward
to
seeing
the
airport
traffic
rebound
and
and
and
seeing
the
the
growth
of
our
airport
and
I'm
glad
councilmember
Jimenez
asked
a
question
about
capacity
because
that
that
was
a
question
I
too
had
but
I
guess.
Q
My
comments
are
specifically
for
D.O.T
for
John
I
guess
you
know,
as
you're
probably
well
aware,
I'm
I'm,
very,
very
passionate
about
a
road
infrastructure
and
our
our
conditions
of
our
roads
and
and
I
I,
especially
like
the
fact
that
our
PCI
our
conditions
are
improving
as
a
city
as
a
whole
and
compared
to
other
cities.
I
think
the
fact
that
we
compounded
measure
t
with
you
know
taxpayer
dollar
and
improvements
or
Investments
I
think
that's
helping
us
accelerate
our
PCI
across
the
city.
So
just
kudos
to
that.
Q
But
a
quick
question
is
as
we're
going
through
and
repaving
our
major
streets
as
well
as
our
local
streets.
What
kind
of
guarantees
do
we
have
as
a
city
with
our
contractors
to
make
sure
that
they're
doing
the
work
to
a
quality
that
meets
our
standards
and
and
a
little
bit
of
reasoning
behind
that
is,
you
know?
I
did
a
dumpster
day
a
couple
weeks
back
in
one
of
the
neighborhoods
and
and
I
got
some
concerns
from
the
residents
on
the
quality
of
the
of
the
of
the
job.
Q
Basically,
and
there
was
already
cracks,
and
it's
been
less
than
a
year
that
that
we
repaved
it.
So
you
know
I,
just
you
know,
want
to
hear
a
little
bit
and
see
see
what
what.
G
Thank
you
and
I
think
those
are
the
streets
that
you
had
pointed
out
to
us
for
us
to
take
a
look
at
and
we're
doing
that
right
now
correct,
but
General
answer
to
the
question
is
we
have
a
one-year
warranty
period
for
a
contractor
depending
on
the
type
of
treatment,
whether
or
not
it's
a
full
resurface
which
we
usually
don't
have
as
many
problems,
because
we're
really
laying
down
new
con
new
asphalt
versus
a
ceiling
which
is
just
a
temporary
maintenance?
That's
where
they
usually
pop
up
it.
G
A
couple
years
ago,
when
we
were
embarking
on
this
program,
we
had
a
specification
that
was
causing
us
some
problem.
Was
it
necessarily
a
contractor's
issue,
but
it
was
really
us
that
we
needed
to
change
the
specification
that
we're
asking
a
contractor
how
to
lay
down
that
ceiling.
So
we
changed
that
over
the
last
two
years
and
I
think
we're
finding
better
quality
with
that.
So
it's
one
of
those
things
that
it's
sometimes
it's
us.
Sometimes
it's
a
contractor
But
to
answer
your
question.
Q
Perfect
and
and
that's
I
think
that's
important
to
to
know
and
and,
as
you
know,
kind
of
a
little
bit
on
the
along
the
lines
of
the
question
about
you
know
when
our
utility
work
happens,
and
you
know
they
there's
the
work
that
needs
to
be
done,
critical
work
that
needs
to
be
done
on
our
roads.
Staff
goes
back
and
inspects
the
quality
I'm
assuming
to
make
sure
we
give
the
green
light
on
the
project
on
the
resurfacing
Etc.
Yes,.
G
That's
correct:
we
have
a
full
set
of
inspectors
that
are
out
on
very
large
Paving
program,
as
each
council
member
knows
through
the
year,
we're
Paving
250
miles
a
year.
So
that's
a
lot
of
contractors
a
lot
of
work
being
done.
So
the
answer
is
yes:
we've
got
a
full
inspection
team
that
is
their
their
job
is
to
make
sure
that
that
contract
is
following
specifications
on
the
quality,
then
is
resultant
from
that
awesome.
Q
Thanks
John
I
keep
up
the
good
work
and
and
I
know
Paving
over
4
400
miles
of
San
Jose
roads
is
a
challenge
and
I
appreciate
the
work
that
you
and
as
well
as
our
our
CSA,
is
doing
so.
Thank.
B
You
thanks
council
member
yeah
I
want
to
Echo
the
thanks
appreciate
the
presentation,
all
the
work
you're
doing
great
to
see
airport
passenger
traffic
rebounding
and
awesome
to
see
those
Road
pavement
conditions
continuing
to
go
up
and
to
the
right.
So
thank
you
guys
for
the
work,
you're
doing
and
I.
Think
with
that.
You
are
relieved
we
are
on
to
whatever
I'm
sure
are
also
council,
member
Cohen's
favorite
departments,
we're
on
to
environmental
and
Utility
Services.
R
Afternoon
Carrie
romanow,
director
of
Environmental
Services
I'm,
joined
by
Lori
Lori
Mitchell,
director
of
community
energy
and
John
ristow,
director
of
Department
of
Transportation
for
the
environmental
and
Utility
Services.
You
know
we,
we
really
I,
think
provide
a
lot
of
the
basic
services
to
the
city
and
and
generally
people,
don't
think
about
the
work
that
we
do
as
long
as
it's
working
well,
so,
hopefully
you
haven't
thought
about
us
in
a
while.
R
The
core
services
are
spread
across
many
budgeted
programs,
as
you
can
see,
for
example,
in
one
area
of
Wastewater
management
that
core
service
includes
treatment,
plan
operations,
treatment,
plant,
Engineering,
Services,
Wastewater,
Regulatory,
Compliance
and
safety
and
laboratory
services.
So
there's
a
a
lot
of
programs
with
a
lot
of
details
in
them
and
all
sort
of
building
up
to
provide
those
basic
core
services
to
our
city.
R
Looking
at
our
performance
measure
and
overall
we're
meeting
our
targets
and
our
estimates
there's
been
a
slight
increase
in
the
number
of
sanitary
sewer
overflows
and
we
are
directing
additional
resources
to
this
area
to
address
them.
We
had
a
reduction
in
recycled
water
deliveries
due
to
water
conservation
measures
across
the
region.
In
the
last
year,
San
Jose,
clean
energy
is
meeting
its
targets
for
renewable
energy
deliveries.
We
met
trash
load
reduction
targets
set
in
the
previous
Municipal
Regional
stormwater
permit.
R
As
your
as
you
know,
the
new
permit
has
additional
requirements
that
we
are
addressing
through
programmatic
changes
and
to
meet
these
in
these
requirements.
The
administration
is
recommending
additional
resources
in
the
23
324
operating
budget
million
gallons
per
day.
Diverted
from
the
Bay
has
remained
consistent
and
we
are
still
struggling
to
cope
with
the
increased
Solid
Waste
Disposal
as
a
result
of
the
pandemic
and
increased
recyclable
contamination,
and
we
are
proposing
directing
additional
resources
to
waste
diversion
from
landfills
and
reducing
contamination
in
this
next
budget
as
well.
R
Esd's
budget
is
remaining
relatively
flat,
while
Transportation
sees
a
19
increase
in
community
energy
sees
a
45
percent
increase
overall,
we're
also
adding
20
positions
over
the
three
departments
for
a
total
FTE
of
804
591
of
those
are
in
ESD,
which
is
why
they
nominated
me
to
speak.
It
should
be
noted
that
these
figures
don't
reflect
Dot's
total
budget,
as
you
already
heard,
they
are
in
addition,
in
another
CSA
as
well.
R
So
some
of
the
services
we
provide
are
maintaining
2
000
miles
of
sanitary
sewer,
Mains,
treating
90
million
gallons
a
day
of
Wastewater
from
1.4
million
residents
and
17
000
businesses
across
the
South
Bay,
delivering
potable
water
service
to
27
000
customers
in
San,
Jose,
delivering
recycled
water
to
San,
Jose,
Santa,
Clara
and
Milpitas
managing
over
90
000
tons
of
recyclables
annually
serving
over
230
000
customers
for
solid
waste,
230
230
000
sanitary
sewer
in
storm
customers
and
27
000
of
Municipal
Water.
As
I
said.
R
There's
a
there's
a
lot
going
on
in
our
world
and
faced
with
those
ever-changing
regulations
in
storm
and
sanitary
sewer
collection,
Wastewater
facility
discharge,
potable
and
recycled
water
and
Community
energy.
Some
of
those
changes
to
regulations
will
have
significant
operational
impacts
across
the
city
and
in
particular,
we
need
to
invest
in
our
storm
and
sanitary
infrastructure
needs
totaling
over
500
million
and
looking
at
current
funding
sources
to
augment
our
needs.
As,
as
you
know,
the
additional
funding.
R
R
And
then
ESD
continues
our
robust
Outreach
and
marketing
for
all
Utility
Services,
especially
to
increase
landfill
diversion
and
reduce
contamination.
Climate
smart
is
accelerating
our
efforts
as
well
and
San.
Jose
clean
energy
continue
to
deliver
renewable
energy
to
350
000
customers
with
three
billion
dollar
power
supply
portfolio
with
Ever.
Every
changing
complex
regulations.
R
An
overview
of
some
of
our
proposals
and
ongoing
Staffing
additions
and
Community
energy
continued
investment
in
maintenance
of
the
South
Bay
Water,
resist
water
recycling
distribution
system,
continued
climate,
smart
implementation,
funding,
Staffing
planning
core
and
coordinating
the
storm
and
sanitary
sewer
infrastructure.
Investment
needs
consultant
support
for
professional
and
legal
services
for
the
development
of
biosolids
management
strategy,
including
a
public-private
partnership
biosolids
facility
at
the
regional
Wastewater
facility
and
sanitary
sewer
maintenance,
vehicle
replacements.
R
We
continue
to
invest
in
sanitary
sewer
collection
and
treatment,
infrastructure
and
Staffing,
but
again
additional
investment
is
needed
now
and
in
the
coming
years,
climate,
smart,
San
Jose,
will
continue
to
lead
the
city
towards
a
more
sustainable
future.
San
Jose
clean
energy
continues
to
provide
the
community
with
Clean
Energy
Service
options
at
competitive
rates
and
local
programs
that
reduce
greenhouse
gas
emissions
and
promote
equity
and
meeting
the
demanding
regulatory
requirements
for
stormwater
and
sanitary
sewer
systems
will
require
increased
investment
and
Citywide
collaboration
in
the
near
future,
and
with
that
we're
available
for
questions.
N
Yeah,
just
one
question
Kerry,
thank
you
for
the
information.
Can
you
can
you
give
us
an
update
as
to
where
the
negotiations
or
discussions
are
with
Valley,
Water,
related
to
recycled
water,
and
some
of
that
work?
I
haven't
been
following
that
as
closely
and
I
know,
they
recently
sent
a
letter
and
curious
sort
of
where
that
is.
R
Mou
and
the
tent
we're
continuing
to
move
forward
with
those
conversations
you
know
it's
the
details,
but
as
we
work
with
Valley
Water
they're
still
moving
forward
with
the
Palo
Alto
program
and
so
and
so
they're
learning
what
they
need
to
learn
in
that
in
that
effort,
and
so
we're
moving
at
a
pace
that
we're
both
comfortable
with
and
and
continuing
to
to
learn.
But
you
know
they
they
don't
want
to
do
both
at
the
same
time,
but
they
would
like
to
kind
of
quickly
move
on
to
San
Jose.
R
And
so,
as
you
know,
the
biggest
issue
is
is
dealing
with
some
of
the
waste
material.
N
Thank
you.
Thank
you
for
the
last.
Not
that
not
the
waste
material
come
of
the
one
that
preceded
that,
because
I
was
going
to
ask
you
if
you
think
that
they
they
have,
they
share
the
same
sentiment
that
we're
moving
as
quickly
as
they
want
to
move
I,
because
I
get
the
sense
that
we're
not
oh,
but
but
yeah.
R
D
Yeah,
thank
you.
I
guess.
I
have
to
say
that
anyway,
I
love
the
I
love
the
ESD
Department.
As
you
know,
just
a
couple
of
just
a
couple
questions
actually
one
on
this
on
this
metrics
chart.
There's
I
always
am
curious
when
it
says
percent
waste
diverted
from
landfill.
D
We've
had
conversations
before
about
how
we
know
where
we
get
this
data.
Can
you
describe
that
a
little
bit?
I
think
this
is
self-reported
by
our
Haulers.
Is
that
how
that
works?
So.
R
Yes,
so
our
haulers
have
contractual
obligations
to
report,
and
so
they
not
only
report
to
us,
they
also
report
to
the
state,
and
so
so
that's
we
get
the
data
directly
from
them.
D
R
So
they
are
marketing
the
material
that
the
program
materials
that
have
markets
they
are.
They
are
getting
someone
to
take
it
or
getting
paid
for
someone
to
take.
D
R
Valerie,
maybe
can
add
a
little
bit
of
context
to
it,
but
a
lot
of
a
pretty
significant
portion
of
our
Solid
Waste
is
that
loose
in
the
street
and
so
that
that
definitely
helps
us,
but
Valerie
add
a
little
bit
of
more
detail
to
that.
Please.
S
S
When
we
do
the
contamination
studies,
we
are
looking
at
specific
routes,
we're
picking
samples
from
those
routes
and
we're
picking
through
items
piece
by
piece
and
determining
whether
it's
a
contaminated
or
non-recyclable
or
non-program
material
item
or
if
it
is
recyclable
items.
So
it's
at
a
much
finer
detail
and
kind
of
that
Glimpse
in
time,
and
so
that's
the
the
data
that
we're
getting
back
on
those
last
two
recycling,
curbside
audits,
that
we
did
in
2020
and
in
2022.
S
S
S
About
it,
yeah
I,
don't
know
if
you
know
the
answer,
yeah
I
think
it
is
it's
it's
complicated
and.
D
It's
yeah
I
just
would
like
to
understand
that
better
at
some
point,
because
it's
a
weird,
we
talk
a
lot
about
these
two
different
things,
and
now
it's
not
clear
to
me
from
this
data.
What
we
really
should
be
talking
about,
if
that's
makes
sense.
Okay,
anyway,
thank
you
and
I
know
Valerie
you
and
I
love
talking
trash,
so.
A
D
I
guess
so
that
joke
will
never
get
old.
I,
don't
know
back
to
back
to
follow
up
on
cancer.
Reminisce's
Jimenez
is
question
about
the
Wastewater
about
the
purification
I'll.
Just
say:
I
think
that,
from
my
conversations
with
Valley
Water
this
year,
I
think
we're
kind
of
feeling
like
we're
in
a
better
place
and
that
we
we're
going
to
get
there
there's
a
lot
of
seems
like
there's
a
lot
of
demand
for
some
of
the
land
around
the
wastewater
treatment
plant
and
I.
Had
a
meeting
yesterday.
D
I
want
to
make
sure
that,
as
we
have
that
discussion,
especially
with
with
the
Cal
ISO
project,
that's
coming
in
around
there
that
we
are
and
and
the
projects
encroaching
on
the
south
with
some
of
the
development
that
will
happen
on
in
the
south
of
the
wastewater
treatment
plant
lands
that
we
are
sure
that
we're
reserving
and
holding
enough
land
for
what?
For
the
for
a
stretch,
goal
of
capacity
for
the
purification
in
that
area.
R
So,
thank
you.
We
and
when
we
adopted
the
plant
master
plan,
we
set
aside
the
land
that
Valley
Water
requested
to
expand
their
purification
facility
and
we've
left
that
demarcated
as
not
available
for
other
use.
So
if
they
told
us
they
didn't
need
it,
we
would
we
would
consider
other
options,
but
for
now
it
it
is,
is
not
available
to
anyone
else.
R
However,
there's
also
not
more
land
available
for
them
without
encroaching
on
the
land
set
aside
for
economic
development
and
because
of
the
way
that
we
have
expanded
our
dewatering
and
other
plant
operational
needs,
there's
not
additional
land
for
them
without
moving
into
Economic
Development
lands,
which
I
think
has
some
Er
impacts
and
Valley
Water
hasn't
indicated
to
us
that
they
have
a
draft
plan.
So
they
don't,
they
haven't
scoped
out
a
facility,
so
I
I.
Don't
think
anyone
really
knows
how
much
land
they
would
need.
R
I
know
they.
They
everyone
always
wants
more,
but
but
we
do
have
a
footprint
available
available
for
them
when
they're
ready,
I
also
believe
we're
waiting
for
direct
potable
reuse
regulations
to
pass,
because
that
makes
the
sort
of
ease
of
the
facility-
and
it
makes
it
much
easier,
not
necessary
to
construct
and
operate.
But
you
don't
have
to
build
a
pipeline
to
Los
Gatos
and
so
when,
when
DPR
is
approved,
which
is
expected
in
the
next
year
or
two
I
think
that
will
start
to
pick
up
the
pace.
Wouldn't.
D
We
also
would
we
also
be
able
to
expand
up
into
the
to
the
decommissioned
dewatering
location
or
not.
R
R
And
then,
as
you
know,
we
have
plans
to
build
a
fertilizer
facility
and
a
fat
soil
and
grease
receiving
station,
and
so
we
need
to
make
sure
there's
enough
space
for
trucks
to
turn
around
and
and
for
those
facilities
to
be
designed.
So
in
in
the
next
five
years.
We
should
have
more
clarity
on
the
footprint
that
those
particular
facilities
will
need
and
why
the
fertilizer
facility
is
so
important
to
us
is
and
recall.
R
D
No
I
just
wanted
us
to
think.
First
of
all,
we're
going
to
phase
some
of
this
deep,
the
purification
potentially
it
might
not
all
be
that
we
might
do
some
capacity
and
then
in
the
future,
do
more
and
there's
also
talk
with
cpuc
right
I
mean
with
sfpuc
about
a
partnership
there.
So
I
want
to
be
just
thoughtful
about
making
sure
we
have
the
space.
You
know.
D
R
So
we
also
have
plans
to
expand
significantly
expand,
South
Bay
Water
recycling,
which
would
impact
the
availability
of
water
for
purification
and
but
South
Bay
Water
recycling
can
be
expanded,
much
more
quickly
and
much
more
cost
effectively,
and-
and
so
we
think
that
makes
a
lot
of
sense,
but
but
Additionally
the
brine
disposal
is
is
going
to
be
challenging.
R
But,
lastly,
if
we
were
to
move
into
a
DPR
facility,
there
would
be
significant
controls
required
on
the
businesses
in
our
entire
service
area,
because
you
would
be
producing
drinking
water
and-
and
we
haven't
assessed
economic
viability
of
that.
But
but
that
is
certainly
something
if
you
move
from
from
IPR
to
DPR,
that
that
is
a
game
changer.
And
so
so
we
need
a
little
more
time
to
evaluate
that.
P
Thank
you,
I,
don't
have
any
other
hands,
so
I'll
go
ahead
and
ask
my
question:
I
think
that
with
both
councilmember
Jimenez
and
councilman
McCullen
I
too,
you
know
sort
of
wonder
when
it's
going
to
happen
with
Valley
Water
I
am
delighted
that
we're
in
a
better
place
my
suggestion
is
to
bring
back
a
timeline
of
some
sort
to
at
least
give
us
an
understanding
of
how
the
pace
is
going,
because
you
know
I
think
that
while
they're
doing
their
work
with
Palo,
Alto
I
think
the
preference
would
have
been
with
us.
P
T
Good
morning
Jeff
provenzano
I'm,
a
deputy
director,
Environmental
Services
Department
we're
working.
Now
we
have
a
really
close
collaboration
now
with
the
our
city,
manager's
office
and
some
of
the
upper
management
there
at
Valley
Water,
and
we
are
progressing
on
discussions,
timeline,
notes
very,
very
specific
Valley
Water,
just
applied
for
a
feasibility
Grant
study
Grant
with
the
Bureau
of
Reclamation.
T
We
as
a
city
of
San
Jose
and
the
City
of
Santa
Clara,
supported
that
that
application
and
our
commitment
to
work
with
them
on
a
feasibility
study,
they're
thinking
about
two
years
to
get
that
study
done
and
we'll
work
with
them
as
they
go
through
it.
Hopefully
that
feasibility
study
will
answer
all
the
the
questions
that
we
know
that
need
to
get
addressed.
T
So
at
the
end
of
that
two-year
time
period,
with
that
study
and
and
that'll
really
kind
of
shape
up,
what
a
project
would
look
like
a
direct
potable
reuse
is
what
we
together
are
looking
at
versus
an
indirect
which
is
again
I.
Think
Kerry
mentioned
the
regulations
aren't
out
there
yet
so
once
those
are
finalized,
that'll
kind
of
feed
into
that
feasibility
study
over
the
next
two
years
of
work
that
we'll
be
doing
with
them
great.
P
Thank
you
information.
The
other
thing
I
was
wondering
John
is
it's
my
understanding
and
maybe
I'm
wrong,
that
the
storm
sewers
are
size
to
a
10-year
flood
capacity
and
during
the
drought
you
know
I
mean
we
didn't
have
to
worry
about
it
as
much.
But
you
know,
as
we
start
thinking
about
oh
well,
you
know
we're
going
to
continue
to
grow
and
all
of
that-
and
you
know,
climate
change
and
all
of
the
things
that
come
with
that
I'm
wondering
do.
P
G
Thank
you,
councilmember
John,
Rissa,
director
of
transportation
and
you're,
entering
into
an
area
that
I'm
going
to
have
to
confer
with
our
public
works
department.
They
actually
the
ones
that
actually
help
us
with
sizing
the
correct
size
and
and
drainage
areas
for
storm
systems.
So
what
I
will
do
is
get
with
Matt
and
we
can
answer
that
question
generically
and
generally
for
you,
as
well
as
the
rest
of
the
council
right.
P
U
Okay,
thank
you.
My
name
is
Rick
Bruno
I'm,
the
Director
of
Finance
I'm.
Here
to
present
the
Strategic
support,
CSA
I'm
joined
here
by
Jennifer
schembry,
director
of
HR
Jim
bersig,
the
assistant
director
of
it
and
Matt
lausch,
the
acting
director
of
Public
Works
since
Wednesday
you've
heard
a
lot
about
the
budget
plans
for
the
city's
most
vulnerable,
visible
services.
U
Today,
I'll
pull
back
the
curtains
on
the
core
services
and
programs
of
the
Strategic
support
CSA
and
there
there
have
been
a
lot
of
talk
from
Council
Members
about
their
favorite
csas,
so
that
I'm,
hoping
by
the
end
of
this
presentation,
we
can
convince
you
why
the
Strategic
support
CSA
should
be.
In
that
conversation.
Oh
definitely.
U
So
our
departments
that
make
up
the
Strategic
support,
CSA
or
Finance
it
HR
and
Public
Works
within
the
finance
Department.
We
have
core
Services
of
debt
and
treasury
management,
disbursements,
financial
reporting,
purchasing
and
risk
and
revenue
management.
It
has
Business
Solutions,
San,
Jose,
3-1-1
technology
infrastructure
and
operations.
U
U
In
terms
of
our
performance
measure
dashboard,
starting
at
the
top
left,
our
city
Bond
rating
has
remained
very
high,
and
in
the
fiscal
year
2122
we
received
an
upgrade
from
Fitch,
and
that
is
a
AAA
rating
on
our
bonds.
That's
the
highest
level
that
we
could
have
so
some
improvement
there.
We're
going
to
look
to
maintain
that
into
the
future
that
reduces
the
cost
of
issuance
of
bonds
and
is
a
high
focus
for
our
department.
U
The
next,
the
third
and
top
right
is
the
percentage
of
the
non-management
employee
performance
appraisals
that
were
completed
on
schedule.
This
year,
there's
been
a
great
Focus
for
the
city,
manager's
office
and
the
department
of
leadership
to
improve
and
to
exceed
this.
This
target
so
we're
trending
above
90
percent,
and
we
look
to
close
out
the
year
at
that
amount.
U
U
U
Our
HR
department
has
increases
that
reflect
investments
in
recruiting
retention
and
Workforce
Development
strategies
moving
from
an
adopted
budget
of
approximately
119
million
to
126
million
the
HR.
This
number
also
includes
the
city's
benefit
fund,
so
that
that
is
that's
why
the
numbers
larger
than
than
what
Jennifer
has
on
our
team?
The
it
is
realizing
a
slight
decrease
which
reflects
the
removal
of
one-time
funding
and
Public
Works
is
stable,
with
slight
increases
in
Staffing
for
measure
T
operations
and
maintenance
and
Fleet
communication
installers.
U
Our
service
delivery
environment
is
one
where
Finance
is
operating
in
a
world
with
increased
regulations
and
a
flow
of
new
accounting
Provisions
to
comply
with
HR
is
tasked
with
attracting
growing
and
retaining
a
diverse
Workforce
in
a
tight
labor
market.
It
is
challenged
and
charged
with
upgrading
and
maintaining
the
technology
infrastructure,
strengthening
our
cyber
security
position
and
advancing
our
customer
service
through
San
Jose,
3-1-1
and
customer
contact
center
and
Public
Works
is
responsible
for
maintaining
aging
City
facilities,
equipment
and
vehicles.
U
So
in
terms
of
the
budget
actions
and
proposals
that
we
put
forward,
I'll
summarize
the
key
ones
here,
starting
at
the
top
of
Windows
11
update
upgrade
to
the
software
as
well
as
equipment
resources.
So
this
action
includes
funding
to
replace
and
upgrade
65
percent
of
all
devices
this
year
with
additional
funding
needed
for
next
year
that
will
mitigate
the
city's
equipment
that
will
migrate
the
city's
equipment
to
new
devices
before
the
windows
Sunset
of
support
in
2025..
U
U
The
recruitment
centralization
effort
is
an
action
that
continues
a
pilot
program
that
centralizes
recruitment
for
departments
with
high
vacancy
rates,
the
next
item,
development,
Staffing
and
pipeline.
This
is
an
additional
investment
in
recruiting
strategies
to
develop
Partnerships
and
build
Pipelines
for
the.
U
Measure
T
operations
and
maintenance
staff-
this
is
to
add
Staffing
to
support
measure
T
funded
City
facilities,
including
the
fire
station
fire
training
center
and
and
the
EOC
the
enterprise
resource
planning
resources.
This
is
for
two
resources,
one
in
it
and
one
in
finance,
and
this
is
to
begin
the
planning
activities
to
implement
a
replacement
of
the
city's
Erp
systems.
U
It's
also
leading
a
homeless
management
system
implementation
and
this
is
to
address
blight
and
Outreach
work,
workloads
related
to
homeless,
encampment,
service
requests
and
then,
finally,
the
Fleet
Maintenance
Staffing.
This
runs
two
positions
in
the
Fleet
Management
division
to
focus
on
upgrading
and
repairing
communication
equipment
and
police
fire
and
other
department
vehicles.
U
H
B
P
Thank
you
so
I
guess,
I'm
I
agree
with
councilmember
Foley
I
love
you
all
I
I'm,
I'm
sort
of
stuck
on
this
storm
sewer
thing,
because
I
I
know
that
you
know
we've
gone
through
the
ndps
permitting
and
all
of
that,
and
as
some
of
the
bio
waste
and
things
that
I
know
that
that's
another
CSA,
that's
dealing
with
it,
but
it
sort
of
all
goes
to
the
Bay,
so
I'm
I'm
sort
of
thinking
about
all
of
the
the
flow
of
the
water
and
so
I
was
just
maybe
my
I'm
hoping
my
information
is
wrong,
but
I
just
wanted
to
know.
P
Storm
sewers
are
designed
at
a
10-year
capacity
of
flow,
and
you
know
this.
Last
year
we
I
mean
it
was
unusual
that
we
had
so
much
rain,
but
I'm
just
wondering
with
everything
that's
happening.
Do
we
have
to
be
concerned
about
that
or
prepare
for
anything
for
that.
V
Thanks
for
the
question
and
sorry,
I
didn't
jump
up
fast
enough
to
answer
the
question.
In
the
last
round:
Matt
Lush
acting
Public
Works
director
there's
we
have
a
master
plan
team
for
both
sanitary
system
and
the
storm
system,
and
so
we
are
completing
and
working
on
right
now,
a
storm
master
plan
for
the
entire
system,
we'll
have
better
information
once
that's
complete
and
we'll
be
able
to
report
out,
we
are
studying
regularly
and
so
anytime.
There's
a
new
development
or
new
work
going
on.
Our
team
is
driving
that
study
of.
V
Do
we
have
a
conveyance
system
of
storm
water
in
sewer
water,
conveyance
systems
to
wherever
they
end
up
and
so
sometimes,
and
what
are
the
impacts
to
different
conveyance
systems?
We
have
a
team
that
models
that
and
we
partner
with
Valley
Water,
who
is
the
one
who
regulates
the
waterways,
which
is
different?
We
bring
the
things
to
the
waterways,
and
so
we
do
study
it
regularly.
We
have
a
master
planning
team
that
focuses
on
this
and
is
modeling
the
storm
sewer
system
regularly.
M
Unlike
my
colleague
council
member
David,
Cohen
I
do
love
all
my
departments
here,
love
equally
and
sometimes
a
little
better.
I
do
have
a
question
about
the
I.T
in
I.T
work.
We
have
identified
that
there
is
some
kind
of
a
warm
handoff
of
things
may
happen
between
the
requests
on
3-1-1
coming
to
city
of
San
Jose
to
the
county,
because
the
work
really
belongs
in
a
County,
so
we
probably
have
budgeted
in
our
work
to
be
able
to
do
that
kind
of
work.
M
K
Thank
you
for
the
question.
Councilmember
Jim
Burson
go
assistant,
CIO
information
technology
I
have
not
personally
reached
out
to
the
county.
However,
yes
Khalid
topic,
our
Chief
Information
officer,
is
in
touch
with
the
CIO
with
the
county
has
talked
specifically
about
the
part
partnering
with
the
county
on
sj311,
related
activities
and
I
believe
he's
in
discussions
with
them
to
potentially
cost
share
as
well.
Okay,
yeah
so
probably
more
to
come
on
that.
So.
M
N
Yeah,
thank
you
Matt
just
a
question.
I
know
that
under
Public
Works,
Fleet
Maintenance
and
operations
falls
under
that.
So
this
is
going
to
be
a
very
specific
question.
You
may
or
may
not
know
the
answer,
but
Public
Works
is
manages
the
the
the
the
the
the
fleet
and
everything
related
to
the
maintenance
and
such
in
all
departments
right,
whether
it
be
fire
engines,
whether
it
be
a
truck,
that's
used
in
parks
and
rec.
Things
of
that
nature
is
that
yes,.
N
V
N
I
want
to
break
it,
I'm
going
to
bring
it
home,
but
I've
had
discussions,
different
city
officials
and
different
parts
of
the
country,
and
some
of
them
have
expressed
as
an
example
that
they've
donated
some
of
their
fire
trucks
or
police
vehicles
to
to
some
of
the
countries
or
cities
that
they
have
sister
city
relationships
with,
say,
Mexico,
say,
Vietnam
things
of
that
nature
and
so
I'm
curious.
If
we
were
interested
in
doing
something
similar
to
that
there.
C
V
N
N
Good
and
then
the
other
question
I
have
because
I
think
it
still
falls
under.
You
is
my
understanding.
When
I
took
office,
for
example,
we
clear
out
our
offices.
There
were
a
bunch
of
old
furniture
and
there
it
goes
to
a
particular
Warehouse.
Does
that
sound
familiar?
Yes,
there's
a
warehouse
that
stores
all
the
sort
of
lost,
Surplus.
A
N
Everything
gets
sent
and
so
that
Surplus
Warehouse
just
contains
all
the
Surplus
related
to
Furniture
and
Things,
or
what
else
does
it
contain?
Is
it
I've
never
been
out
there.
V
J
V
N
And
what
is
the
process
for
which,
which
we
dispose
of
those
items
but
they've
been
sitting
there
10
years
and
we
try
to
find
what
is.
N
B
D
Yeah,
thank
you.
You
know
your
your
departments
are
the
ones
that,
if
everything's
going
well,
we
don't
often
think
about
but
I
appreciate
the
work
that
you
do
because
you
keep
the
city
operating
I
have
just
one
question:
is
this
this
section
is
supposed
to
include
discussion
on
the
appointees
budget
as
well,
or
is
there
a
separate
discussion
on
those.
D
J
J
You
know,
as
a
retired,
first
responder
I've
gone
out
to
multiple
calls
where
residents
are
still
not
aware
that
they
shouldn't
be
dumping
oil
or
coolant
from
their
vehicle
down
to
storm
drain.
Is
there
a
a
process
where
you
can
reach
out
to
our
citizen
to
to
make
sure
that
they
are
aware
it
is
illegal
and
then,
as
there's
a
different
way
of
process
of,
has
removed
their
hazardous
ways
through
the
city.
V
It
is
maintained
and
cleaned
through
our
Department
of
Transportation
when
illegal
dumping
or
things
being
spilled
into
the
water
waterways.
That
would
be
in
our
environmental
services
department,
and
so
there
are
different
checks
and
balances
on
that
and
we
coordinate
together
on
those
ESD
has
regular
campaigns
around
don't
spill
things
in
and
clearing
things
out
and
they're
I
think
each
catchment
Basin
has
things
of
this
goes
to
the
bay,
and
things
like
that,
so
just
be
wary.
B
Great,
thank
you,
council,
member,
just
a
final
question
from
me.
Obviously,
vacancies
have
been
a
huge
issue.
We
need
to
staff
up
that
was
referenced
in
the
presentation,
Jennifer
I,
wonder
if
you
could
just
say
a
little
bit
about
how
we
compare
with
other
agencies
and
some
of
the
bets
we're
making
this
year
to
fill
those
those
vacancies.
O
Thank
you,
I'm
Jennifer,
schembry,
Director
of
Human,
Resources
and
employee
relations.
We're
definitely
not
alone
in
our
vacancy
issues.
I
speak
regularly
with
other
HR
directors
around
the
area,
Bay,
Area
and
also
larger
agencies
similar
to
us
like
a
San
Diego
and
those
sorts
of
things
we
actually
fare
better
than
I
could
say
at
most
other
agencies
that
I've
seen
you
know.
We
have
other
agencies
similar
to
us
that
are
17
vacancy
rates.
B
Okay,
great
appreciate
that
any
other
questions-
okay,
so
this
was
our
strategic
support
departments
we're
now
going
to
move
to
appointees.
Thank
you
very
much.
We
already
under
Public
Safety
had
the
independent
police
Auditor
in.
So
what
we're
going
to
do?
Now?
We
don't
have
a
presentation,
but
just
for
my
colleagues,
we
have
an
opportunity
here
to
ask
questions
of
the
city
manager,
City
attorney
city
clerk,
City,
auditor
or
the
and
the
office
of
Retirement
services.
P
Thank
you,
I
guess:
I
wanted
to
get
a
better
understanding
from
the
clerk
in
terms
of
as
we're
looking
at
our
budgets.
One
of
the
things
that
I
saw
is
that
you
know
kind
of
like
when
you
save
water,
when,
when
the
rates
go
up
right,
they
use
what
you've
been
saving
and
then
all
of
a
sudden
you
know
your
efforts
to
you
know
be
a
little
bit
more
wise
on
saving
water.
You
get
penalized
well
I
kind
of
feel
that
way
about
some
of
the
budget
numbers
for
our
offices.
P
In
that,
if
you've
been
good
about,
you
know
watching
your
budgets,
not
spending.
You
know
everything
you,
you
will
get
less
the
following
year.
So
I'm
just
wondering
you
know
in
terms
of
how
how
how
that
is,
and
and
maybe
I'm
misunderstanding
the
numbers
that
I
saw
but
I
I
just
just
wanted
clarification
on.
W
I
Yes,
for
sure
just
to
quickly
answer
the
question,
so
any
any
savings
in
a
council
member's
office
budget
is
available
to
be
re
re-budgeted
into
the
following
year,
so
it's
so
that
savings
can
accrue
to
the
the
following
year.
I
So
the
the
budget
that
is
assembled
for
the
mayor
and
city
council
offices
is
based
on
a
combination
of
the
individual
compensation
costs
for
a
specified
number
of
employees,
their
their
salary
and
their
benefits,
as
well
as
a
equal
amount
for
each
Council,
Council
district
for
a
flexibly
use
for
Staffing
and
any
non-personal
and
Equipment
costs.
I
Any
of
those
that
are
unspent
at
the
end
of
of
the
year
are
typically,
then
re
re-budgeted
into
the
following
year.
So
one
of
the
BDS
that
that
is
often
released
by
a
council
office
is
to
read
budget
savings
from
the
current
year
to
the
following
year,
and
the
clerk's
office
will
help
you
with
that.
As
the
time
gets
closer.
I
The
the
proposed
budget,
like
section,
looks
a
little
bit
weird
too
because
of
the
different
elections
that
happened
this
this
year,
we
split
the
budget
office,
the
district
funding
into
sort
of
two
different
Appropriations.
One
for
each
half
of
the
year,
so
anything
that
is
remaining
unspent
in
that
first
half
gets
rolled
into
the
the
second
budget,
so
that
all
your
budget
remains
whole.
P
No,
the
sort
of
how
how
how
the
assumptions
are
made,
because
in
in
terms
of
the
budget
numbers,
because
what
I'm
seeing
is
that,
if
you're
in
office
that
used
up
all
of
your
budget,
then
the
following
year,
you
get
more
budget
right
or
you
or
it
comes
up.
Whereas
if
you
had
dollars
that
roll
over,
then
you
don't
get
as
much
so
I.
W
W
P
So
yeah,
that's
where
that's!
Where
I
saw
the
differences
in
if,
if
you're
in
office,
that
perhaps
you
know
had
different
people
coming
in
and
out,
you
know
there
was
there
was
salary
savings
and
then
the
following
year.
It's
assumed
that,
oh
well,
you
have
these
salary
savings.
You
know
you're
not
going
to
need
it,
so
you
get
less
no.
C
C
Everybody,
but
there
are
differences
in
like
the
benefits
packages
based
on
the
employee,
that
that
might
be
what
you're
seeing
I'm,
not
positive,
but
you
all
get
this
the
same
amount.
Some
people
have
more
because
they've,
maybe
re-budgeted
multiple
years.
So
if
we
had
one
council
member
who
saved
a
lot
every
year
and
has
it
rolled
over
and
rolled
over
and
rolled
over,
and
so
it
looks
like
he
was
getting
so
much
more
than
everybody
else,
but
it's
just.
C
I
Think
that
was
the
rebudgets
that
we're
talking
about.
So
the
adopted
budget
includes
the
amount
that
was
re-budgeted
from
the
prior
fiscal
year.
So
the
proposed
budget
and
that's
sort
of
the
tricky
thing
a
little
bit
about
some
of
the
the
numbers
on
the
proposed
budget
column
in
the
process
that
we're
at
now,
because
it
only
includes
any
new
funding,
doesn't
include
any
carrier
funding.
Yet
so.
I
suspect
that
when
you
see
the
adopted
budget
published
in
early
fall
that
those
numbers
will
look
pretty
similar
between
the
adopted
2223
and
the
adopted
2324.
H
You
write
a
memo
to
roll
it
over
to
the
next
year,
so
every
year,
I've
had
this
huge
balance,
because
I
guess
I
was
I,
don't
know,
didn't
have
enough
staff
or
something
and
so
I'm
rolling
over
this
huge
amount,
and
it
looks
like
I'm
getting
more,
but
it's
not
I'm
taking
it
from
previous
years
and
just
adding
it
to
the
budget
that
I
get.
But
you
have
to
do
that
in
the
budget
session
and
make
sure
that
that
money
is
rolled
over
to
you
and.
B
More
question:
thanks
for
that
clarification:
well,
we
just
had
a
bunch
of
hands
go
up.
Let
me
is
it
tied
to
the
same
issue?
No
okay,
I'll
come
back
around
to
you,
then
yeah
I'll
come
back
to
you.
Councilman
condos.
Q
Yeah,
excuse
me
my
question
is
pertaining
to
to
our
city
clerk
and
for
the
following
year.
It's
my
understanding
that
we're
budgeting
more
more
money
for
our
translation
services
and
are.
Q
Are
we
also
looking
at
improvements
and
or
efficiencies
with
with
you
know
now
that
we
have
have
a
hybrid
approach
to
our
meetings
to
how
to
better
incorporate
and
make
it
a
little
bit
more
seamless
because
I,
you
know
I
feel,
like
you
know,
I
think
there
there's
a
opportunity
for
improvement
with
regards
to
you
know
how
diverse
our
city
is
and
and
I'm
curious
to
hear.
C
Your
thoughts
on
that
I'm
working
with
the
office
of
racial
Equity
as
well
they've,
introduced
me
to
some
products
that,
where
we've
we're
scheduling
a
demo,
we've
already
met
with
the
company
and
had
like
the
presentation,
but
we
want
to
bring
them
into
the
chambers
to
see
how
it
integrates
I,
don't
want
to
name
the
company
because
I
don't
know
if
that
that
changes
anything
like
contract
wise,
but
they
have
it's
an
app
that
will
translate
into
I,
think
it's
like
20
different
languages
and
it's
like
basically
live
captioning
and
interpreting
in
their
language,
whatever
language
they
choose,
which
is
so
it's
really
exciting
and
it's
fairly
inexpensive
for
the
amount
of
languages
we
have
and
that's
useful
for
both
online
and
in
person.
C
So
we're
looking
at
that.
This
particular
is
for,
like
traditional
having
in-person
interpreters
for
two
of
the
major
languages.
Of
course,
people
can
always
request
an
additional
one
for
a
meeting.
We
had
a
request
for
Kamar
recently
yeah,
so
we
brought
in
interpreters
for
that.
So
there
we
can
still
take
special
requests,
but
with
this
particular
one
it's
for
Spanish
and
Vietnamese
in
person
and
virtual
for
every
meeting,
including
headsets,
so
that
that's
an
extra
cost
as
well
we'll
need
to
buy
headsets
and
manage
that.
C
But
yes,
we
are
looking
at
additional
I'm
very
excited
by
this
app
with
the
captioning
office
of
racial
Equity
was
really
happy
with
it,
because
I'm
I'm
going
to
them
because
they're
the
subject
matter,
experts
on
what
the
community
needs
and
wants
so
hopefully
we'll
we'll
have
all
of
that,
maybe
by
August
but
I'm,
not
I'm,
not
positive.
Oh.
Q
A
Q
M
C
D
Counselor
come
yeah,
just
a
question:
I
think
these
might
be
for
clerk's
office.
Where
do
we
see
in
the
budget
the
money
set
aside
for
this
for
the
for
election
year
for
the
cost
of
Elections.
I
C
A
D
Because
of
the
yeah
okay,
thank
you.
The
other
question
is
that
there
was
an
expense.
Was
it
the
current
fiscal
year?
We
had
an
expense
because
we're
upgrading
this
these
systems
and
that's
that's-
was
I
mean
we're
supposed
to
be
upgrading
our
our
council
meeting
computers
and
systems
do.
D
C
It's
supposed
to
be
I
mean
I
know
that
they've
asked
me
to
clear
some
dates
in
May
that
we
have
reservations
in
the
wings
to
do
work.
Okay,
right,
yeah!
That's
not
me.
N
Yeah,
just
on
that
note,
since
Public
Works
is
in
charge
of
this
Chambers
and
such
I'm
curious
when
we're
going
to
fix
this
thing
in
the
middle
I
used
to
rotate
and
I.
Think
oftentimes,
we
I
know
it's
it's.
We
have
more
important
things
to
talk
about,
but
oftentimes
we
have
the
mic
up
there
and
it
just
creates
this
awkward
space
and
so
I'm
curious.
If
this
is
ever
gonna
turn
and
rotate.
X
As
it
used
to
yeah
happy
to
answer
that
Lee
Wilcox
assistant
city
manager,
that
is
one
of
the
pieces
and
upgrades
that
will
happen
in
this
room
after
Public
Works
is
done,
making
the
modifications
in
the
wing
so
that
we
can
go
back
and
start
having
the
Committees
in
the
wing
in
the
in
the
new
fiscal
year.
So
that'll
be
work
that
will
be
done
possibly
this
year,
but
there's
a
number
of
improvements
that'll
happen
in
this
room
over
the
next
three
years.
J
Hey
someone
a
quick
make,
a
quick
statement
to
to
see
the
clerk
you
guys
are
doing
an
incredible
job,
keeping
us
in
the
boundary
and
keeping
us
out
of
trouble
and
I
just
want
to
say.
Thank
you.
B
C
Y
I,
understand
you're
being
asked
to
focus
on
the
basics,
but
what's
more
basic
than
livable
climate
with
tolerable
heat,
clean
air
and
adequate
water,
a
sustainable
environment
is
indispensable
to
our
health
safety
economy
and
our
children's
future.
If
San
Jose
is
going
to
achieve
our
climate
goals
in
an
equitable
way,
we
need
to
put
our
money
where
our
climate
is.
Please
ensure
that
ESD
staff
have
the
resources
they
need
to
implement.
The
many
strands
of
the
climate
smart
plan
with
more
staff
capacity.
Y
Y
You
have
the
power
to
increase
staff
capacity
with
more
funding
and
thus
have
more
informed
the
community
input
into
these
areas.
To
conclude,
the
climate
crisis
is
accelerating:
with
increased
wildfires
floods
and
heat
waves.
We
simply
cannot
afford
to
wait
until
we
solve
other
pressing
problems
to
deal
with
the
climate.
Please
vote
for
a
healthy
environment
today
and
a
livable
climate
tomorrow
and
allocate
more
funding
for
ESD
on
behalf
of
our
children.
Thank
you.
Z
Pulsoto
from
the
Horseshoe
last
night,
at
the
housing
development
meeting,
I
couldn't
believe
how
many
lies
and
lies
after
lie
after
lie
was
continually
told
by
the
city's
stats.
The
housing
voted
down
unanimously
and
I,
whoever
hired
Opie
sketch
of
man.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Thank
you
for
placing
her
on
that
committee
because
what
she
said
how
she
said
it
why
she
said
it
and
then
how
detailed
she
said
it
I
as
a
citizen
I.
Z
Thank
you
very,
very
much
for
not
only
putting
her
there,
but
for
her
saying
what
she
said
at
that
meeting,
because
it
absolutely
needed
to
be
said.
The
fact
that
our
mayor
wants
to
continually
neglect
his
moral
and
ethical
responsibility,
I,
don't
care
about
the
law.
The
law
means
nothing
to
me.
Slavery
was
legal.
Z
Slavery
was
legal,
so
I
don't
care
about
the
law.
What
I
care
about
is
Justice.
What
I
care
about
is
having
a
moral
and
ethical
standard
by
which
it
governs
and
institutes
and
informs
policy.
That's
what
I
care
about
and
the
fact
that
this
mayor
wants
to
continually
continually
debase
and
disrespect
by
putting
actually
thinking
that
policies
like
this
and
stripping
measure
e-funds
in
order
to
Institute.
Whatever
policies
he
believes
should
happen
is
going
to
cause
death.
Z
People
are
going
to
die
as
a
result
of
it
and
he's
going
to
sit
there
with
a
smile
on
his
face
and
he's
going
to
sit
there
and
just
next
next
next
and
then
walk
around
thinking,
he's
tough
with
a
bunch
of
cops
behind
him
with
guns.
You
know:
what's
tough,
what
I
do
homeboy
that's?
What's
I'm
done
back
to.
