Thank
you
vice
mayor,
I
have
the
honor
of
introducing
someone
who
I
think
many
of
us
know
already
or
have
seen
out
in
action
in
the
community,
and
so
I
want
to
tell
you
a
little
bit
about
father
john
father.
John
pettigo
is
a
native
of
the
bay
area
and
has
been
active
in
civic
affairs
and
social
justice
causes
for
over
30
years.
G
Since
his
ordination
of
the
diocese
of
san
jose
in
1991,
father
pedego,
has
been
involved
with
several
local
social
justice
causes
and
interfaith
dialogues.
Many
of
us
have
stood
side
by
side
with
him
in
countless
rallies
and
marches
for
immigrant
rights,
social
justice
and
other
commendable
causes.
G
He
has
been
a
champion
for
progressive
change
and
a
relentless
advocate
for
marginalized
communities.
Father
pedego
is
the
director
of
advocacy
and
community
engagement
at
catholic
charities
of
santa
clara
county.
He
has
been
acknowledged
for
his
work
and
advocacy
by
many
organizations
and
has
received
commendations
from
santa
clara
county
board
of
supervisors,
city
of
san
jose
and
the
california
state
assembly.
G
He
was
first,
he
was
the
first
to
be
awarded
a
fellowship
from
the
rockwood
leadership
institute's
new
california
program.
He
was
also
named
a
senior
fellow
by
the
american
leadership
forum.
Father
john
pettigo
holds
a
bachelor's
degree.
Then
this
is
news
I
didn't
know,
but
father
pedego
holds
a
bachelor's
of
music
degree
from
san
francisco
state
university
and
the
masters
of
music
from
indiana
university
of
bloomington.
G
C
Thank
you,
council,
member
sergio
for
the
invitation
to
pray
with
you
all.
I
want
to
preface
the
prayer
with
with
just
a
brief
spiritual
commentary
in
my
work
with
catholic
charities
and
in
the
dozens
of
other
community-based
organizations
in
our
county,
particularly
in
the
city.
The
voices
of
those
directly
affected
help
shape
our
agency's
priorities,
whether
we
are
driven
by
the
biblical
belief
of
god's
love
and
concrete
concern
for
every
person
and
that
god's
plan
embraces
all
humanity
or
driven
by
values
of
community
development
through
racial
equity
and
equal
opportunity.
C
We
who
work
with
those
impacted
by
homelessness
or
insecure
housing,
food
insecurity,
lack
of
access
to
adequate
and
consistent
health
care,
mental
illness
and
addiction,
violence,
incarceration
debt
or
unresolved
issue
issues
with
immigration.
We
were
all
transformed
by
the
resilience
of
the
people
we
serve.
C
C
So
we
become
courageous,
not
cautious.
We
become
creative,
not
conformist.
So
let
us
now
take
a
moment
to
recognize
that
our
deliberations
will
end
in
decisions
that
will
either
free
and
liberate
those
in
need
or
or
they
will
compound
suffering.
May
your
decisions
today
uphold
human
dignity.
Let
us
pray.
C
H
Thank
you.
Thank
you,
father
better,
go!
Thank
you,
councilmember
jimenez,
all
right.
Let's
move
forward
then
to
the
ceremonial
items.
Thank
you.
Vice
mayor
for
stepping

councilman,
foley
would
like
to

and
commend

Their
outstanding
efforts
to
protect
our
environment
and
create
a
more
livable
climate
and
councilman
foley
will
tell
us
more.
I
J
J
J
J
We
were
named

smart
champion
of
the
year.
We
helped
protect
coyote
valley,
we
helped
secure
san
jose's.
Caspian
ordnance
helped
pass
electrification,
reach
codes.
In
many
silicon
valley
cities
we
advocated
for
setback
limits
around
oil
and
gas
drilling.
We
engaged
residents
in
climate,
smart,
san
jose
we
hired
vietnamese
and
spanish-speaking
staff.
J
We
pivoted
online
and
hosted
virtual
house
parties.
We
taught
people
how
to
make
face
masks.
We
welcomed
new
volunteer
leaders,
we
networked
with
other
cbo's.
We
helped
close
reed
hill
view
airport
ahead
of
schedule.
We
helped
to
end
shark
hot
avenue
extension
project
now
we're
working
to
keep
san
jose's
future

fuel
free
end.
The
fuel
cell
exemption
in
san
jose's
gas
ban
plant
trees
in
east
san
jose
and
secure
funding
to
maintain
them
push
for
setback
limits
around
oil
and
gas
drilling.
J
I
Thank
you
so
much.
I
was
able
to
present
the
commendation
to
mothers
out
front
virtually
and,
I
have
to
say
a
group
like
mothers
out
front
when
you
hear
that
name.
It
just
makes
me
smile
as
a
mother,
and
it
makes
me
want
to
work
so
hard
to
do
the
work
that
mothers
out
friends
demands
the
changes
that
mother
out
mothers
out
front
demand
to
help
improve
our
environment.
I
I
recall
the
first
meeting
I
had
it
was
actually
in
the
slide
at
city
hall.
It
was
probably
a
month
into
my
council
office
where
they
approached
me
about
reach
codes,
didn't
even
know
what
a
reach
code
was
had
no
idea,
but
they
educated
me
on
the
importance
of
them,
and
I
was
able
to
support
the
direction
of
the
reach
reach
codes
since
then,
I've
supported
them
and
their
positions
on
the
shark
hot
extension,
the
preservation
of
the
coyote
valley,
reach
codes
and
electrification.
Among
other
things.
I
J
J
When
stacey
and
I
co-founded
our
group
back
in
2016,
we
had
no
idea
how
quickly
we
would
grow
and
the
influence
we
would
have
as
mothers.
We
just
knew
we
had
to
do
something
we
were
deciding
on
our
first
campaign.
I
remember
asking
the
advocates
who
were
leading
the
heavy
lift
to
get
san
jose
to
adopt
community
choice,
energy
if
it
might
help
to
have
some
moms
and
kids
meet
with
their
council
members
and
speak
up
at
city
council.
J
J
I
want
to
add
my
thanks
not
only
for
this
recognition,
but
also
for
committing
to
carbon
neutrality
by
2030..
In
order
to
achieve
that
ambitious
target,
it
will
be
essential
to
update
and
strengthen
the
climate.
Smart
san
jose
plan,
as
you
revisit
it
this
spring.
We
urge
you
to
sunset
the
gas
band's,
misguided
exemption
for
gas-powered
fuel
cells
which
generate
huge
amounts
of
greenhouse
gas
emissions.
J
To
all
of
our
supporters,
this
belongs
to
you.
Thank
you
for
adding
this
climate
advocacy
to
your
already
full
schedules
to
those
in
the
public
watching
today.
We
hope
our
efforts
will
give
you
hope
and
confirmation
that
margaret
mead
was
right.
Never
doubt
that
a
small
group
of
thoughtful
committed
citizens,
especially
moms,
can
change
the
world.
Indeed,
it's
the
only
thing
that
ever
has
thanks.
I
H
K
So
on
top
of
this
one
in
eight
female
and
one
in
26,
male
high
school
students
have
reported
experiencing
sexual
dating
violence
in
the
last
year,
and
you
all
know
that
teen
dating
violence
affects
just
millions
of
teenagers
in
the
u.s.
According
to
the
cdc
teen
dating
violence
is
an
adverse
childhood
experience
that
has
profound
impact
on
the
lifelong
well-being
of
teens.
This
year's
theme
is
talk
about
it,
a
call
to
action
for
young
people
and
those
who
support
them
to
engage
in
meaningful
conversations
about
healthy
relationships
and
navigate
behaviors.
K
I
think
my
somebody
from
my
my
team
sent
it
out
earlier
today
and
it
really
allows
all
of
us
to
promote
the
team
dating
violence
awareness
month,
and
so
it
shares
topics
like
dating
abuse
and
unhealthy
relationships,
which
can
be
really
difficult
to
talk
about,
especially
for
teenagers.
I
know
that
I
just
as
a
mom
I
just
experienced
teenage
a
teenager
because
my
son
just
turned
13
and
just
somehow
magically
from
a
12
year
old
to
a
13
year
old.
K
They
don't
know
if,
if
it's,
it
is
just
part
of
of
a
process
of
becoming
an
adult.
Although
he
already
looks
like
an
adult
he's,
6
1,
I've
shared
with
you
all
how
how
tall
my
son
has
been,
and
so
this
represents
different
types
of
conversations
for
our
young
men
and
women,
and
it's
really
important
for
us
all
of
us
to
share
these
resources,
whether
we're
parents
or
not
or
just
in
the
lives
of
young
women,
so
that
we
can
help
build
this
idea
of
a
healthy
relationship
with
them.
K
K
They
connect
folks
to
harassment,
hotlines
and
even
have
guest
speakers
at
their
meetings.
So
I
want
to
take
an
opportunity
to
thank
paula,
escobar
who's.
Also,
our
district
8
youth
commissioner
tavlin
hayer,
laila
azar,
kathy
long
and
everybody
who's
part
of
the
girl.
Up
for
all
that,
you
do
to
empower
and
support
your
friends
and
peers
at
evergreen
high
school,
and
hopefully
they
can
also
help
us
promote
the
talk
about
it
campaign
with
us.
K
J
Ensure
that
it
doesn't
occur,
supporting
survivors
and
uplifting
their
narratives
is
an
essential
step
in
this
process.
Our
club
will
continue
taking
upon
this
important
work
to
ensure
that
every
young
person
feels
safe.
We
want
to
thank
you
all
for
turning
these
important
conversations
and
for
uplifting
the
voices
of
youth.
H
All
right
everyone's
got
the
back
backdrop
aligned
accordingly,
all
right,
thank
you,
and
thanks
to
young
women
at
never
green.
For
for
your
leadership.
Our
vice
mayor
jones
will
recognize
and
proclaim
african
american
history
month,
and
I
see
a
former
member
of
the
milpitas
city
council
who
suddenly
became
a
member
of
our
council
joining
us.
Thank
you
bob
and
welcome.
C
C
M
Thank
you
very
much
and
president
for
only
seven
months
so
far
and
hopefully
longer.
But
you
know,
I've
had
opportunity
over
the
last
seven
months
to
go
to
a
number
of
cities,
and
although
we
don't
always
see
eye
to
eye
on
this
issue,
I
can
say
that
we
do.
There
is
not
a
time
that
I
have
been
to
talk
to
any
one
of
you
where
there
is
something
that
we
need
for
our
community,
the
black
community.
M
M
M
We
want
to
take
this
opportunity,
though,
to
really
thank
the
vice
mayor,
chappie
jones.
He
helped
us
with
the
flag
raising
in
the
first
week,
but
we
partnered
with
him
as
really
his
idea
to
make
sure
we
didn't
lose
this
year
and
it
was
cold.
The
night
of
the
fourth,
I
can
tell
you
that
we
saw
many
of
you
there.
M
M
M
M
C
C
H
H
N
N
N
H
N
Okay,
because
these
are
policies.
These
are
policy,
see
that's
why
I
want
to
comment
on
that
other
one,
because
it
had
something
to
do
with
it,
see
either
we're
going
to
center
racial
equity
in
every
single
depart
in
every
single
budgetary
issue
or
we're
not,
and
if
we're
not,
then
just
cancel
the
office.
You
know
all
this
feel
good.
You
know
equity
for
all.
You
know
so
that
all
people
benefit
now
man,
uh-uh
sussex,
where
this
was
vicious.
N
O
Thank
you,
okay,
thank
you!
So
much!
Well,
yes,
I
guess
paul
was
saying
you
know
we're
talking
about
the
orders
of
the
day
and
or
or
the
work
plans
and
different
things
like
that.
As
we
go
forward
and
and
and
then
paul
was
mentioning
that
something
was
deferred
and
I
I
heard
from
blair,
I
think
it
was
that
a
deferred
item
could
be
addressed,
but
anyway,
that's
all
protocol
of
our
democracy
that
we're
trying
to
work
on,
but
getting
back
to
our
work
plans
and
issues
like
that.
O
As
we
go
forward-
and
you
know,
paul
was
also
mentioning
about
equity.
You
know
the
equity
department
and
we've
really
moved
forward
on
the
equity
department.
To
say
you
know
all
our
decisions
have
to
be
looked
at
through
an
equity
lens,
and
I
I've
been
saying
and
the
science
is
saying
that
we
need
to
look
everything
through
a
climate
lens.
That's
what
we
have
to
be
making
our
decisions
and
and
and
one
of
the
things
about
going
forward.
O
As
my
son,
marshall,
woodman
see,
is
running
for
mayor
on
a
platform
that
says
that
we
need
to
make
san
jose
a
food
garden
again
and
keep
fossil
fuels
in
the
ground
and
follow
marshall,
because
marshall
is
a
fossil
fuel,
free
man,
and
it's
not
what
you
say:
it's
what
you
do
and
that's
very
important:
it's
not
what
we
say
about,
because
physics
doesn't
lie
and
we
have
our
climate
are
going
up.
Our
our
co2
emissions
is
going
up
we're
in
global
heating.
O
It
is
global
heating
and
droughts
that
we're
facing
right
now
and
there's
a
thousand
things
we
have
to
do
to
prepare
and
we're
not,
and
so
it
starts
with
becoming
producers,
not
consumers,
and
the
way
we
start,
that
is,
to
grow
food
everywhere.
Every
all
our
lands
need
to
be
productive
and
we
need
to
follow
that
as
a
critical
movement
in
our
community.
P
Thank
you.
I
wanted
to
commend
the
the
consent
calendars.
I'm
now
that
I'm
beginning
to
understand
it
has
really
helped
out
to
the
way
it's
put
together.
Now
is
helping
out
a
lot
more.
Thank
you
for
that
and
for
the
individual
comments.
I
am
agreeing
with
the
ordinance
for
the
the
police
and
fire
department
retirement
plan.
I
thought
was
really
well
done.
The
retirement
boards
are
important.
The
consent
calendar
also
brought
up
actions
related
to
the
calorie
cycle,
I'm
hoping
that
we
can
actually
implement
more
recycling
along
those
areas.
A
F
H
H
O
Did
it
hi?
Thank
you
so
much
good,
so
issues
of
technology,
that's
very
important
as
we
go
forward
to
really
work
on
the
digitizing
of
our
of
our
democracy
and
that's
how
we've
gotten
more
democracy
we've
seen
it
we've
seen
it
in
action.
We
know
it's
true
that
more
of
us
are
able
to
participate
because
it's
virtual
and
that's
the
way
we
need
to
go
forward
and
you
need
to
improve
it.
You
know
in
terms
of
you
know,
even
the
you
know
the
issues.
O
Oh
interview,
I.t
interview,
questions,
okay,
good,
so
I
like
that
that
you
put
up
signs,
that's
very
helpful,
like
a
blackboard,
so
we
see
what
we're
about.
Thank
you
tony
for
doing
that,
and
you
know
it's
it's
really
about.
You
know,
keeping
that
going
our
digitizing
of
our
democracy
and
and
that's
so
important
that
we
should
never
let
that
go
and
that
that
we
always
have
virtual
meetings
and
and
so
that's
very
critical,
and
we
need
to
build
the
infrastructure
to
make
sure
that
continues
going
on.
O
And,
yes,
you
know
we
need
to
like
you
know,
you
know
what
do
they
call
it?
The
digital
divide.
We
need
to
get
everybody
on
on
the
same
page
literally
and
that
that's
and
we
can
do
that
without
you
know.
Well
literally,
you
know
figuratively
without
burning
fossil
fuels,
because
we
don't
have
to
go
to
our
events,
and
so
that's
where
we
need
to
move
and,
of
course
we
need
to
green
our
our
internet.
O
You
know
our
our
digital
world
as
well,
because
we
need
to
be
you
know:
keeping
fossil
fuels
in
the
ground
and
keeping
fossil
fuels
in
the
ground
means
that
we
have
to
start
triaging
what
we're
doing
and
where
we're
using
fossil
fuels,
and
it's
got
to
be
for
our
you
know:
resiliency
and
our
emergency
services.
Things
like
that.
O
Thinking
about
it
really
having
adult
conversations
going
forward
of
what
what
is,
how
we're
going
to
have
a
habitable
planet,
and
so
you
know
with
our
six
mass
extinction
on
the
table
where
one
million
species
are
going
extinct
in
the
next
couple
of
decades.
That's
all
life
on
earth
practically,
and
so
we
need
to
make
changes
going
forward,
not
what
we
say,
but
paul
soto.
N
Okay,
what
you're
doing
with
it,
how
you're
processing
it
and
what
type
of
ethical
standards
does
the
city
hold
itself
to?
Those
are
those
are
relevant
questions
that
I
would
have
liked
to
have
seen
what
the
city's
perspective
is
now,
not
not
in
writing,
but
have
a
presentation
on
this
particular
topic.
It's
it's
too
serious
of
a
topic
because
look
at
look
at
how
much
information
you
guys
are
pulling
from
the
legislator
anytime.
Somebody
goes
on
to
onto
this
onto
the
city
site
you're
extracting
you're
pulling
from
our
phones
period.
That's
what
you're
doing
okay!
N
And
what
are
you
doing
with
that
information?
You
know
what
how
is
it
being
collected?
Who
is
analyzing
it?
What
kind
of
parameters
do
you
have
for
analyzing
it
and
then
what
what
decisions
are
you
are
you
going
to
what
decisions
are
you
making
as
a
result
of
that
data
collection?
I
don't
remember
any
democracy
having
anything
to
do
with
data
collection.
N
You
know
so
I
mean
there's
privacy
issues,
there's
ethical
issues,
there's
moral
issues
and,
and
we
really
have
to
understand
what
kind
of
government
what
kind
of
government
do
we
have
and
what
are
they
doing,
because
what
we're
experiencing
here
on
the
street
and
what
you're
doing
inside
that
building
those
are
two
different
worlds,
completely
different
worlds
and
they
don't
resemble
each
other,
and
so
those
are
the
questions
that
need
to
be
centered,
because
this
is
the
means
by
which
that
information
is
collected
and
processed.
Thank
you.
F
P
Hello,
thank
you
ma'am.
I
appreciate
that.
I
I
and
this
I
think
this
is
probably
too
big
a
deal,
but
if
there
was
some
way
to
keyword
index
the
pdfs
so
that
we
could
search
them,
it
would
definitely
help
you
if
you
had
any
public
record
requests,
not
and
I'd
like
to
see
geared
eventually
towards
that.
You
may
not
be
able
to
retro
that,
but
it
seemed
like
if
you
could
index
the
pdfs
that
are
used.
P
You
can't
pin
the
direct
request
for
services,
because
it's
on
a
street
somewhere
that
doesn't
have
a
local
address
next
to
it,
but
the
indexing
of
the
pdfs
would
not
only
help
us
the
public,
but
it
would
really
help
you
with
public
record
requests
and
just
looking
up
information
instead
of
having
to
go
back
through
months
and
months
of
pdf,
to
look
for
the
information
you're.
Looking
for.
Thank
you.
Ma'am.
F
F
H
All
right,
thank
you
back
to
council
questions
posed
by
the
council
that
they'd
like
to
add
to
those
already
provided
by
staff.
While
folks
are
thinking
them
up.
I
guess
I'll
throw
out
a
couple
myself
rob.
It
looks
like
you're
the
one
spearheading
this
one.
I
guess
I'm
guessing
since
that's
your.
Why
you're
with
us
so
so
question
number
one
is:
are
you
as
smart
as
rob
lloyd?
H
R
Thank
you
mayor.
I
just
wanted
to
say
thank
you
on
compiling
great
list
questions,
and
I
did
want
to
just
comment
on
one
of
them
and
say
thank
you
for
the
language,
because
I
think
you
know
and
I'll
use
some
of
the
work
we're
doing
on
cameras.
As
an
example
is
there
are
needs
out
in
the
community
that
we
need
to
balance,
and
so
we
need
to
figure
out
how
to
do
that
in
the
right
way.
R
So
I
just
wanted
to
comment
on
the
language
of
that
question
and
why
I
think
it's
so
important
for
us,
as
a
city,
to
really
figure
out
some
of
these
issues
so
that
it
doesn't
become
an
either
or
it
becomes
a
conversation
about
how
we
can
accomplish
it
in
the
best
way.
That's
it
for
me.
Thank
you.
You're.
R
H
R
H
G
A
C
Mayor
before
we
move
on,
I
just
want
to
do
a
shout
out
to
lee
wilcox
rob
wood
and
randy
perry
from
our
office
of
employee
relations
that
are
all
three
helping
me
with
this
recruitment
and
did
craft
the
questions
and
have
done
a
lot
of
the
community,
employee
and
stakeholder
input
on
it.
So
thank
you
to
all
three
of
you.
H
Yeah,
thank
you
all
know.
This
is
a
really
hard
position
to
hire
for
given
the
high
demands
in
the
market
from
the
private
sector.
So
thank
you.
Okay.
On
to
item,
I
believe
we
go
forward
to
3.6
as
the
proposed
ballot
measure
for
the
june
7th
election
to
amend
the
city
charter
to
move
the
mayoral
election
to
the
presidential
election
cycle.
F
H
L
L
And
so
I,
because
chappie
is
so
well
respected
on
all
sides
of
the
corridor.
I
was
surprised
that
I
didn't
hear
back
from
his
office
after
leaving
a
voicemail
and
a
an
email
on
his
website.
My
suggestion
would
be
with
respect
to
the
I
t
system
is
to
implement
a
protocol
where,
when
someone
is
contacted
not
just
chappie
but
any
of
you,
that
the
constituent
receives
an
email
confirmation
back,
indicating
that
not
only
an
email
has
been
received,
but
the
time
period
in
which
that
constituent
will
receive
a
response.
L
A
E
E
F
O
O
However,
you
know
it
was
expanded,
expanded
to
incorporate
the
people's
agenda
and
we
had
climate
crisis
on
the
agenda
and,
what's
what's
of
the
of
the
charter
review
commission,
and
yet
this
is
the
only
thing
that
has
gone
forward.
Is
this
mayoral
thing,
which
is
really
you
know
just
bookkeeping
and
political,
where
we
have
to
stop
talking
about
politics,
religion
and
and
economics?
Economics?
O
Don't
forget
that
stop
talking
about
those
and
only
be
thinking
about
physics
and
and
engineering
as
we
go
forward
in
our
climate
crisis
and
yet
the
the
the
climate
crisis
didn't
even
you
didn't
get
on
there
and,
and
we
have
so
much
to
do,
and
you
know
and
the
fact
that
we
got
the
mayoral
issue.
Only
thing
is
going
forward.
Is
this
mayoral
thing
which
you
know
is
and
actually
the
fact
that
we
are
getting
where
all
of
us
in
california
are
getting
voting
in
our
mail?
K
J
A
Good
afternoon
mayor
council
members,
my
name
is
ed
mundo.
I
currently
live
in
district
three
and
my
family's
been
in
district
two
for
over
50
years.
I
support
the
proposed
ballot
measure
to
transition
to
the
mayoral
election
to
the
presidential
election
cycle,
as
do
tens
of
thousands
of
san
jose
residents
who
have
shown
support
for
this
change.
We
believe
that
moving
the
mayor's
race
will
be
a
benefit
to
our
community.
It
will
help
us
build
a
city
that
works
for
everyone
and
will.
A
M
A
M
Presidential
election
cycles-
this
makes
all
the
sense
in
the
world
to
me
and
I
hope
to
see
it
on
the
june
ballot.
I
believe
that
this
would
create
a
major
increase
in
voter
participation
in
our
local
elections
and
will
benefit
our
community
by
creating
a
more
representative
electorate
and
is
going
to
give
us
a
better
shot
at
building
a
san
jose.
That
makes
make
sense
and
works
for
everyone.
I
hope
that
city
council
supports
this
measure
and
continues
to
support
democratic
participation
in
san
jose.
Thank
you.
A

Currently,
less
than
half
of
eligible
voters
elect
the
mayor.
If
we
time
the
mayoral
election
during
the
presidential
elections,
research
estimates
that
we
can
increase
voter
turnout
by
28
to
33
we're
talking
about
a
higher
turnout
amongst
young
voters
amongst
women,
people
of
color,
ensuring
that
these
groups
have
equal
say
in
electing
our
next
mayor.
A
C
Hello
members
of
the
council,
my
name
is
hector
moreno.
I
am
from
ufcw
local
5
and
a
san
jose
resident
my
entire
life.
I
support
the
proposed
ballot
measure
to
transition
the
mayoral
election
to
the
presidential
election
cycle.
This
common
sense
reform
should
stand
alone
as
a
ballot
measure
in
june
2022.
C
F
C
Hello,
I
initially
thought
this
was
a
no-brainer
and
that
it,
of
course,
should
be
moved
to
coincide
with
the
presidential
election,
but
I
heard
somebody
speak
at
one
other
meeting
and
they
brought
to
the
attention
the
point
that
it
would
diminish
the
off-year
election
participation,
so
that
would
greatly
affect
off-year
election
council
elections
and
also
potentially
allow
special
interest
to
push
through
items
in
the
year
when
no
one
basically
is
going
to
be
paying
attention
to
the
election
cycle.
So
the
mayor
election.
C
A
Yes,
thank
you
sorry
about
my
unmuting
error.
Earlier
hello,
my
name
is
frank
austin
and
I
was
born
and
raised
here
in
san
jose
and
I'm
a
member
of
local
393
representing
over
3
000
members
serving
the
communities
of
santa
clara
and
san
benito
counties.
I
support
the
proposed
ballot
measure
to
transition
the
mayoral
electoral
and
to
presidential
election
cycles.
A
A
This
recommendation
would
benefit
our
community
by
creating
a
more
representative
electorate
in
an
era
of
rampant
voter
suppression
across
the
country
that
threatens
the
political
voice
of
communities
of
color.
We
must
take
this
opportunity
to
make
our
local
democratic
process
accessible
to
all
changing
the
timing
of
our
local
mayoral
election
increases,
the
turnout
of
young
voters,
women
and
people
of
color,
ensuring
that
these
groups
have
an
equal
say
in
electing
our
next
mayor.
A
C
C
We
absolutely
support
the
policy
to
move
the
mayoral
race
to
the
presidential
election
years.
We
believe
that
it
will
increase
democratic
participation
in
the
elections.
It
will
increase
voter
turnout
and
we
believe
it
is
absolutely
equitable
and
fair
to
make
sure
that
everyone's
voices
are
included
in
san
jose
elections,
not
just
those
of
or
or
with
the
financial
resources
to
to
participate
so
yeah
on
behalf
of
our
union.
We
absolutely
support
the
move
to
move
the
mayoral
race
to
presidential
year
and
I
see
the
rest
of
my
time.
A
A
F
A
E
E
N
Yes,
paul
soto
from
the
worship.
I
was
at
that
charter
commission
meeting
when
jeff
buchanan
walks
in
and
he
states
yeah.
Well,
you
know
what
you
know
there's
enough
people
that
want
to
get
pass
this
anyway
and
pass
this
along
and
bifurcate
it
from
the
charter
commission
he
comes
in
then
we
tran
goes.
Oh
yeah!
Well,
you!
You
know
I'll
strike
up
letter
right
now
I
mean
it
was
so
coordinated
and
you
could
just
tell
it
was
set
up.
It
was
set
up
this
whole
process
and
then
lawrence
the
dude.
N
You
guys
hired
to
facilitate
the
meetings
he
pauses
on
one
issue
so
that
this
issue
can
go
through.
I
mean
the
whole
process,
man
in
which
this
got
approved.
You
got
to
check
it
out
because
it
was
corrupt.
It
was
corrupt.
This
this
policy.
It
stinks,
it's
odious.
Why?
Because
of
the
way
that
it
was
implemented,
and
now
that
you
understand,
do
you
want
it
to
stand
alone?
N
C
C
We
hope
to
build
a
san
jose
where
we
all
get
a
chance
to
make
decisions
for
our
communities
which
ultimately
leads
to
self-determination.
We
all
know
that
you
know
having
the
mayor's
election
in
a
year.
That's
not
aligned
with
the
presidential
election
decreases.
The
opportunities
of
our
communities
to
vote
it
also
creates
is
a
structural
barrier
that
has
been
created
not
by
bad
policies,
but
intentional
decision,
making
more
power
and
exclude
people
of
east
san
jose,
but
also
marginalized
communities.
C
So
we
know
we
heard
the
messages
that
you
know.
If
we
move
these
elections
to
presidential
elections,
more
people
will
vote,
and
part
of
that
is.
I
agree
with
you-
know,
paul
soto,
that
there's
a
sense
of
apathy
and
we
must
give
him
a
reason
to
get
out
there
and
and
vote
hopefully
also
changes
that
impact
of
the
early
lives
and
bring
about
real
changes
from
resources
food
to
housing.
C
But
one
of
the
first
steps
is
for
us
to
really
look
at
moving
this
major
majority
race
to
the
presidential
years
that
more
people
can
cast
a
vote
and
we
also
give
folks
a
sense
that
this
is
their
city
and
that
in
san
jose,
more
folks
are
encouraged
to
vote
and
we're
at
the
cutting
edge
of
that.
So
I
encourage
you
to
look
at
this
measure
in
other
measures
that
increase
democratic
participation.
E
Elected
position:
we
must
take
every
opportunity
to
improve
this
statistic
and
improve
our
local
democratic
process.
Now
the
council
is
presented
with
this
very
choice.
Election
research
is
suggesting
that
moving
the
timing
of
the
city's
mayoral
elections
to
presidential
years
would
increase
voter
turnout
by
approximately
30
percent.
E
This
issue
has
a
critical
implication
on
san
jose's
commitment
to
equitable
elections
with
voter
suppression
sweeping
across
the
country.
We
must
pay
particular
attention
to
how
city
policies
impact
historically
marginalized
communities.
The
data
reveal
that
those
voters
most
likely
to
participate
in
both
mayoral
and
presidential
elections
are
disproportionately
white.
Homeowners,
more
educated
and
affluent.
E
J
J
I
support
the
proposed
ballot
measure
to
transition
the
mayoral
election
to
presidential
election
cycle.
This
commonsense
reform
should
stand
alone
as
a
ballot
measure
in
the
june
2022
election.
This
recommendation
would
benefit
our
community
by
creating
more
representative
electorate.
Currently
less
than
one
and
a
half
percent
of
eligible
voters
elect
the
mayor.
If
we
have
time
the
mayoral
election
during
presidential
elections,
research
estimates
that
we
can
increase
voter
turnout
by
28
to
33
percent.
Thank
you.
F
L
Yes,
I
have
a
comment
on
this
proposal.
I
wasn't
aware
I
was
only
allowed
to
make
one
comment.
Please
let
me
know
if
that's
the
case.
The
comment
I
have
on
this
proposal
is
that
the
difference
between
one
of
the
differences
between
a
monarchy
and
a
republic
is
that
local
cities
and
townships
can
push
through
distinct
policies
from
from
a
monarchy
or
a
central
government
and
there's
no
doubt
this
proposal
is
going
to
pass.
L
But
one
thing
you
want
to
think
about
is
how
to
distinguish
yourself
from
substantive
solutions
to
low
voter
turnout
rather
than
procedural
solutions,
and
this
is
an
opportunity
to
vote.
No,
if
you
favor
substantive
solutions
like
photo
education
and
especially
education
on
how
to
how
the
local
government
here
is
different
from
and
hopefully
better
than,
the
government
in
washington
dc.
P
Yeah,
I
would
just
like
to
re
reiterate
what
todd
w
said
regarding
the
diminishing
of
voting
in
the
off
election,
and
I
I'm
sure
I
agree
with
the
last
speaker
that
this
is
going
to
pass,
but
I
really
feel
that
the
city
isn't
doing
any
good
when
you
come
to
council
elections
in
the
off
season
and
people
aren't
going
to
be
paying
attention
and
that
that
should
be
really
looked
at
anyway.
That's
all
I'm
gonna
say
thank
you.
E
A
Mayor
election
to
presidential
election
cycles
make
this
a
stand
alone
in
the
the
june
2022
election.
It
is
important
to
make
a
more
representative
electorate
than
what
has
been
historically
san
jose
representation
has
only
been
a
few
generations
of
city
councillors
that
the
city
council
moved
to
district
elections
to
help
improve
representation.
A
A
A
J
Representative
with
the
factory
15,
a
union
which
represents
fast
food
worker
leaders,
statewide
and
within
san
jose,
I'm
here
to
say,
and
support
the
proposed
ballot
manager
to
transition
the
mayoral
election
to
presidential
election
cycles.
This
common
sense
reform
should
stand
alone
as
a
ballot
measure
in
the
june
2022
election.
This
recommendation
would
benefit
our
community
by
creating
a
more
representative
electorate
in
an
era
of
voter
suppression
across
the
country
that
threatens
the
political
voice
of
communities
of
color.
We
must
take
this
opportunity
to
make
our
local
democratic
process
accessible
to
all
san
jose's.
J
C
L
Local
393.,
I'm
speaking
on
behalf
of
my
mother,
who's,
a
san
jose
resident,
I'm
in
favor
of
moving
the
presidential
election
of
the
mayor
election
to
the
presidential
years.
It
seems
like
in
her
community.
She
lives
in
a
senior
community
that
all
the
elderly
people
seem
to
be
more
involved
when
there's
a
presidential
election,
they
get
more
involved
with
the
local
politics.
L
F
P
P
Where
there's
you
have
a
certain
time
for
an
election
people
they're,
given
the
money
from
the
government
to
run
their
campaign,
so
there's
no
campaign
funding
coming
from
private
sector
at
all,
and
then
people
just
vote
and
instead
of
it
being
a
you
know,
it's
a
it's
very
frustrating
to
see
huge
donors-
and
I
know
the
city
try,
I'm
not
accusing
anything
of
anybody,
but
it's
just
you
know.
You're
beholding
to
people
give
you
money
are
to
some
degree.
P
P
P
On
the
electorate,
the
city
council
cannot
teleport
us
out
the
door
and
beam
us
over
to
the
electorate
or
they
mail
voters
things
to
us.
They
try
to
make
it
as
smooth
as
possible,
but
we
have
to
do
it,
and
so
this
is
also
on
us.
It's
not
it's
easy
for
us
to
shake
our
fists
that
the
city
council
do
more
well,
they
are
doing
more,
there's
only
so
much
they
can
do.
We
have
to
take
it
upon
ourselves
to
be
interested
in
our
democracy.
Thank
you
yield
good
time.
Thank
you.
Ma'am.
A
A
F
K
K
J
J
J
J
I
support
the
proposed
ballot
measure
to
transition
the
mayoral
election
to
presidential
election
cycles
by
moving
the
mayor's
race,
provides
us
the
ability
to
include
and
have
a
representation
that
promotes
diversity
and
inclusion
for
our
city
of
san
jose.
If
the
mayoral
election
is
held
during
presidential
elections,
san
jose
has
the
opportunity
to
provide
that
opportunity
to
increase
voter
turnout
and
select
a
mayor
that
represents
everyone.
Studies
show
that
voter
turnout
is
more
than
double
in
california.
J
I
Thank
you
and
thank
you
for
all
of
the
speakers
when
this
came
to
council
in
2019
to
initially
move
the
mayor's
race
to
the
gov
or
to
the
presidential
years.
I
actually
opposed
it,
and
the
reason
I
opposed
it
is
was
actually
articulated
by
a
few
people.
Here
is
how
it
would
affect
the
odd
number
council
races
of
of
which
I
am
one.
I
was
concerned
that
the
attendance
at
the
odd
number
races
would
be
diminished
if
it
was
not
connected
to
the
mayor's
race.
I
But
since
then
I've
taken
a
look
at
the
issue
and
determined
that
really
people,
individuals
in
the
districts
will
vote
for
the
district
candidates
because
it's
a
competitive
race
because
we're
out
there
working
to
gain
our
resident
support
and
their
votes.
And
it's
up
to
the
council
members
who
are
running
the
who
running
for
office.
Those
who
want
to
be
council
members
and
those
who
are
to
get
out
there
and
make
their
voices
heard.
I
So
I
have
since
removed
my
objection
to
moving
the
race
to
the
presidential
race
and
find
that
it
is
the
best
way
that
we
can
encourage
voter
turnout
in
a
really
important
election
cycle.
So
with
that
I
will
move
my
motion
move
my
memo,
which
adds
four
words
to
increase
voter
participation
and
the
reason
I
added
those
is
so
that
the
voting
public
when
they
see
this
on
their
ballot,
we'll
know
why
we
are
actually
doing
this.
So
with
that.
I
I
There
were
a
lot
of
charter
recommendations,
as,
as
everyone
knows,
and
many
of
them
were
put
into
study
sessions,
so
we
will
be
looking
at
those
for
study
sessions.
This
is
time
sensitive,
because
we
have
a
mayorals
race
right
now
and
we
have
several
people
who
are
running
to
in
the
in
the
june
primary.
So
it's
important
that
we
get
this
on
the
june
primary,
so
they
know-
and
we
know
the
public
knows
what
the
expectations
are
for
the
term
of
this
new
mayor.
Thank
you
very
much.
J
J
Mailed
to
us.
We
did
not
have
to
seek
them
out
and
to
and
to
return
them
barriers
have
never
been
lower.
You
can
mail
it
without
even
putting
a
stamp
on
it
in
our
county,
so
we
already
have
very,
very
low
barriers
to
voting.
You
just
have
to
register
to
vote
and
keep
your
keep
your
address
up
to
date.
That's
it
and
I,
I
think
it's
important
to
give
that
change
time
to
work,
to
see
what
our
turnout
is
like
and
in
fact
I
I
happen
to
disagree
with
you,
councilmember
foley.
J
I
think
that
your
arguments
about
turnout
in
the
individual
districts
could
be
just
as
true
in
a
competitive,
mayoral
race.
I
also
think
we
could
better
spend
that
617
thousand
dollars
on
get
out
the
vote,
efforts
in
those
odd-numbered
years
to
increase
voter
turnout
not
only
for
the
mayoral
race,
but
for
all
of
the
odd-numbered
districts
that
have
lower
turnout
than
the
even-numbered
districts
that
are
in
presidential
years
or
have
in
the
past.
Again.
J
We
don't
know
what
it's
going
to
be
like
with
the
ballots
being
proactively
mailed
to
everyone
in
this
so-called
off
year,
but
it's
actually
a
gubernatorial
year
election
year.
So
I
just
think
it's
important
for
us.
I
think
we
could
better
spend
this
money
on
get
out
the
vote,
efforts
and,
frankly,
on
educating
our
electorate
on
how
important
their
local
government
is
and
how
much
our
local
government
impacts
their
daily
lives
so
much
more
than
the
presidential
races.
So
I
am
not
going
to
be
supporting
supporting
this
measure.
Thank
you.
C
F
To
make
sure
in
the
motion
that
we
say
whether
we're
going
to
print
the
full
measure,
the
full
text
measure
or
if
we're
typically,
we
don't
publish
the
full
text
of
the
measure.
We
do
a
summary,
but
you
need
to
to
state
that
in
the
motion
we
also
need
to
see
if
you
guys
are
going
to
authorize
somebody
to
print
to
write
the
ballot
argument
for
the
council
and
we
need
to
decide
if
we're
going
to
allow
rebuttal
arguments.
H
F
Let
me
open
my
memo
on
this
other
screen.
They
didn't
give
me
the
the
current
2022
breakdown
per
page,
but
I
have
the
one
from
2020
and
it's
27
000
per
page
for
those
different
items,
so
you
would
save
the
rebuttals
you'd
save
51
000
by
not
allowing
the
rebuttals
and
then
for
the
text
of
the
measure.
F
H
Yeah,
I
just
emphasize
to
be
clear.
I
know
people
often
get
confused
about
this
in
the
public,
but
if
you
have
no
rebuttal,
you
still
have
four
separate
arguments.
A
pro
and
a
con
on
each
side.
Adding
rebuttals
means
you
now
have
six
arguments,
so
I
would
just
argue
that
I
think
whatever
we
do,
I
think
we
ought
to
save
the
taxpayers
a
few
bucks
and
go
with
the
summaries
and
go
with
the
pro
and
con.
H
H
H
J
R
Q
Thanks,
thank
you,
mayor
I'll.
Just
I'll
just
be
be
quick.
I
know
we
have
a
very
long
evening.
I'm
glad
that
this
item
is
coming
up
and
we'll
be
voting
on
it
and
and
I'll
be
supportive
of
councilmember
foley's
memo.
You
know
this.
This
item
came
before
us
long
before,
of
course,
the
charter-
the
are
our
charter
review
commissioners.
Q
And
I
agree
actually
with
council
member
davis.
If
we
could
spend
money
in
getting
up
the
vote.
That
would
be
fantastic.
But
but
I
don't
think
that
that's
enough,
I
don't
think
we
go
far
enough,
so
doing
everything
that
we
can,
such
as
what
other
cities
have
done
in
moving
the
election
to
a
presidential
cycle.
Q
R
Thank
you
mayor.
I
just
wanted
to
say
a
few
things.
I
also
wanted
to
thank
councilmember
foley
for
her
change
of
heart
and
for
the
thought
that
she's
given
this
issue.
I
also
think
it's
the
right
thing
to
do,
and
I
you
know
I
think
one
of
the
callers
mentioned
it.
You
know
my
father
was
very
active
in
the
his
birthday
was
yesterday,
so
he's
been
a
lot
on
my
mind
and
he
passed
away
a
few
decades
ago.
R
Lastly,
I
just
wanted
to
concur
with
council
member
foley.
As
a
co-odd
year,
we
were
elected
the
same
year
on
an
odd
year.
You
know-
and
that
was
the
mayor
was
re-elected
in
june
and
and
in
you
know
so
we
got
half
and
half.
We
were
able
to
sort
of
get
half
of
the
election
with
with
the
mayor's
race
and
then
the
runoff.
R
You
know
the
mayor
had
already
been
re-elected
and
frankly,
it
didn't
make
a
difference
and
in
san
jose
thanks
to
district
elections,
no
offense
to
mayor
it's
just
just
the
way
it
turned
out
and
and
frankly,
in
san
jose,
because
we
have
district
elections.
We
are
fortunate
we're
able
to
knock
on
every
door.
R
We
go
out,
we
talk
to
our
residents
and
and
that's
the
beauty
of
our
city
is
we're
able
to
go
out
and
interact
with
our
residents
on
a
regular
basis,
and
I
think
that's
part
of
any
election
and
and
in
terms
of
turnout.
You
know
we
had.
We
had
the
presidential
election
in
2020.
We
also
had
a
really
weird
election
last
year,
where
we
had
a
statewide
recall.
R
You
know
so
talk
about
off
cycle
that
was
super
off
cycle,
and
yet
we
had
massive
voter
turnout
and-
and
so
I
do
think
that
this
will
further
increase.
Our
voter
turnout
and
lastly,
just
because
of
some
of
the
concerns
and
thank
you
to
councilmember
foley
for
tackling
this
head-on,
which
is
we're
moving
this
forward,
I'm
very
comfortable
in
moving
this
forward
because
this
has
frankly
been
studied
the
longest.
This
issue
predates
our
arrival
in
2019.
R
The
council
has
been
looking
at
this
for
a
very
long
time,
and
this
also,
you
know
there
was
a
campaign
out
there
residents
in
our
city
who,
who
signed
to
put
this
on
the
ballot
right.
So
there's
been
a
tremendous
amount
of
community
effort.
There's
been
a
tremendous
amount
of
thought
and
research
in
this,
and
so
for
that
reason
I'll
be
supporting
the
motion
and
I'll
volunteer
myself
to
write
the
argument,
for
we
can
have
those
discussions
later.
R
D
Yeah,
thank
you
mayor
and
I'll
start
mentioning.
I
would
be
happy
to
volunteer
making
an
argument
in
favor
on
on
the
ballot
as
well.
This
is
something
that
I
have
supported
for
years
as
we
initially
brought
up
the
discussion,
and
I
do
truly
feel
that
this
is
the
best
way
we
can
have
the
only
individual
on
the
council,
that
is,
that
is
elected
city-wide.
The
best
way
we
can
really
have
more
of
our
our
voters
and
our
residents
have
a
voice
in
electing
that
individual.
D
We
saw
just
over
90
000
voters
come
out
for
for
that
mayoral
race
and
when
you,
when
you
look
at
the
obviously
the
impact
or
the
difference
there,
the
the
multiplication
of
that
impact
city-wide
is
it's
much
much
more
heavily
felt
when
you're
looking
at
a
citywide
candidate
fast
forward
to
2000
in
which
was
a
rather
non-contentious
election
for
both
the
mayor
and
and
myself.
I
didn't
have
an
opponent
at
that
point,
and
even
without
an
a
contentious
race
there,
an
opponent
or
anything
it
it.
D
It
drove
out
ten
thousand
voters
in
in
that
race,
and
so
many
people
showed
up
to
to
vote
in
that
election,
regardless
of
the
contention
or
maybe
the
draw
of
a
mayor's
race.
Quite
frankly,
obviously,
regardless,
regardless
of
any
contention
in
in
the
council,
race
and
and
so
the
drop-off
was
pretty
insignificant
when
it
came
to
local
district
voters-
and
I
think
you
know
we
can
help
cover
that
gap
much
more
easily
in
these
individual
district
elections.
D
If
there
is
going
to
be
any
sort
of
drop-off
through
some
robust
voter
outreach
and
engagement,
as
we
should
be
doing
every
election
cycle
just
to
encourage
our
our
constituents
and
our
voters
to
to
engage
in
the
the
democratic
process
and
and
vote
versus,
I
don't
think
there
is
really
any
significant
difference.
We
will
be
able
to
make
if
we
are
simply
to
invest
in
voter
outreach
and
engagement
on
a
city-wide
race,
because
now
you're
talking
about
not
just
a
thousand
or
so
voters.
D
You're
talking
about
tens
of
thousands
of
voters
could
be
the
difference
and
and
to
have
that
type
of
significant
difference.
Every
every
mayoral
race.
We
would
need
to
invest
a
significant
amount
of
resources
in
that
voter
outreach
and
engagement
versus
the
alternative,
which
is
simply
moving
this
race
to
the
presidential
cycle
and
just
that
draw
alone
is
going
to
raise
the
voter
turnout
by
tens
of
thousands,
and
that
that
I
think,
when
you
look
at
the
the
cost
benefit,
it's
certainly
well
worth
it.
It's
something
that
that
again.
K
K
You
know
local
politics
out,
because
this
is
what
really
impacts
us
we're
the
first
line
of
defense
when
things
go
awry
and
we've
seen
that
during
this
pandemic-
and
so
I
just
I-
I
love
that
that
our
community
continues
to
get
involved
and
and
thinking
of
different
ways
of
how
to
engage
and
how
to
augment
voter
turnout,
and
so
thank
you
to
all
of
the
people.
Who've
done
that
you,
you
know
who
you
are
you've
begun
even
before.
K
I
think
it
was
2019,
even,
dare
I
even
say,
maybe
2018,
because
it
just
takes
a
long
time.
We
know
this.
It
takes
a
long
time
to
engage
in
a
meaningful
way.
So
so
thank
you
all
for
for
doing
that.
I
also
want
to
thank
my
colleagues
and
I'm
really
really
tickled
pink-
that
council
member
fully
you're
also
engaging
in
this
way
and
helping
augment
our
voter
turnout.
So
thank
you
also
for
doing
that.
I
know
all
of
my
colleagues
have
the
same
interest.
I'm
not
going
to
distinguish.
K
I
think
we
all
sit
on
on
council,
because
we
believe
in
representation.
We
believe
in
getting
involved
politically
so
that
we
can
be
public
servants
and
and
serve
our
community
well,
and
so,
whether
you
vote
on
this
or
not,
I
think
that
there
is
also
a
lot
of
heart
and
in
all
of
you,
to
get
our
voters
involved
and
we
just
see
it
differently.
We
just
see
we
have
the
same
priorities.
K
We
just
go
about
it
a
little
differently,
and
so
so
I
want
to
just
make
sure
that
we
continue
to
have
these
conversations,
because
I
think,
through
these
conversations,
we
continue
to
grow
our
culture
and
create
lines
that
can
actually
that
we
can
blend
and
unify
rather
than
create
lines
that
will
divide
us,
as
we
have
seen
in
our
country,
and
so
I
was.
It
was
important
for
me
to
say
this,
because
I
know
that
as
a
as
a
council,
we've
come
a
long
way.
K
Some
folks
are
leaving
some
folks
are
staying
on,
but
everybody's
contributed
in
a
slightly
different
way
and
and
thanks
to
all
of
everybody,
who's
on
board,
we've
seen
different
progress.
I
I
just
want
to
share
with
my
election.
There
was
a
challenge
in
that.
Not
only
an
internal
challenge,
but
there
was
also
a
challenge
in
the
month
that
we
were
having
the
election
and
that
was
in
march,
and
that
was
really
hard
because
nobody
wants
to
talk
to
you
during
thanksgiving
and
christmas
or
holidays.
K
They
just
don't
want
to
open
the
door
and
you
don't
want
to
knock
on
that
door
because
you're
not
going
to
be
welcome,
and
despite
that,
we
still
were
able
to
to
get
over
the
finish
line
and
have
that
meaningful
voter
engagement.
But
that
takes
a
lot
of
time
and
takes
a
lot
of
effort,
and
so
I,
the
voter
vote
by
mail
having
already
begun
at
that
point,
was
truly
truly
truly
tremendously
helpful.
So
I
I
just
want
to
say
that
this
is
just
another
way.
K
I
know
that
there's
other
manners
that
we
should
engage
voters
and
we
should
continue
to
think
about
those.
Let's
not
leave
those
that,
let's
not
say
that
we're
completely
done.
Let's
think
about
how
we
do
that
and
and
lastly,
council
member
esparza.
I
love
that
that
you
brought
in
your
father
and
his
role,
I'm
sure,
there's
a
lot
of
other
folks
different
generations.
K
In
our
community
that
have
played
a
part
in
this
leading
up
to
today,
hopefully
we'll
see
this
across
the
fin
across
the
finish
line
and
there's
a
lot
of
folks
like
your
father
who
who've
played
their
part
and-
and
I
hope
that
this
this
vote
is
also
homage
to
him
and
homage
to
a
lot
of
the
community
members
that,
with
that
had
a
lot
of
heart
and
a
lot,
a
lot
of
sacrifice
and
work.
That
was
already
that
already
has
paved
the
way
for
us
to
be
here
today.
So
so,
thank
you.
K
H
Sorry
having
trouble
with
the
unmute.
Thank
you.
I
just
point
out
we're
now
at
320
and
we've
got
four
very
substantive
items
still
to
go,
and
so
I
want
to
encourage
everyone
to
going
forward
to
see
if
we
can
be
as
succinct
as
possible,
because
I
know
a
lot
of
members
of
public
are
waiting
on
these
other
items
and
I'm
guessing
we're.
Probably
gonna
need
to
make
a
transition
to
short
public
comment
as
well.
Let's,
let's
see
how
many
hands
we've
got
out
and
go
from
there.
I
F
G
B
I
A
H
E
So
today
the
council
is
being
asked
to
adopt
the
resolution
approving
the
addendum
to
the
amendment
to
the
norman
weinmanetta
san
jose
international
airport
master
plan,
environmental
impact
report.
We're
also
conducting
a
public
hearing
this
pro
this
page
you've
seen
before
in
my
presentation
last
time,
starting
with
september
25th
of
2018.
That's
when
the
council
voted
to
adopt
the
new
direction
in
council
policy.
E
6-4
there's
been
a
lot
of
discussion
about
public
involvement,
openness
through
this
process
prior
to
september,
25th
of
2018
in
in
june,
it
was
presented
to
the
airport
land
use
commission,
which
is
a
public
meeting.
In
august.
It
was
presented
to
the
planning
commission,
which
was
also
a
public
meeting
prior
to
those
two
public
meetings.
E
We
conducted
two
community
meetings,
both
in
october
of
17
on
the
5th
and
on
the
12th,
and
just
for
note,
there
was
no
no
digital
billboard
san
jose
group
until
we
started
the
work
on
phase
two,
the
the
private
sites.
So
that's
a
little
bit
of
the
background
before
you
even
voted
on
6-4,
which
allowed
for
billboards
on
the
public
property
then
going
forward
through
the
rest
of
this
list.
E
E
Some
of
the
terms
of
the
agreement
from
the
date
of
installation
through
2027
55
of
gross
revenue
on
the
sign,
is
airport
revenue.
The
mag,
the
minimum
annual
guarantee
is
490
000,
which
is
2.5
million
dollars
over
the
term.
There
is
no
capital
invested
by
the
airport
marketing
opportunities.
The
airport
gets
to
utilize
10
of
the
advertising
time.
E
The
takedown
billboards
policy
here,
I
believe,
is
the
easiest
way
to
remove
billboards
in
the
city,
because
current
billboards
on
private
property
have
certain
rights
for
that
billboard
to
be
there
as
a
side.
Caltrans
also
requires
two
billboards
to
be
removed
along
the
freeways
now.
In
addition,
not
part
of
this
part,
but
I
know
there
are
concerns
about
the
trees
that
I've
heard
from
several
council
members.
E
42
of
those
43
are
non-native
to
the
state
of
california,
so
one
native
tree
and
42
other
random
trees
that
were
brought
in
because
those
43
trees
are
being
removed.
Clear
channel
is
replacing
those
trees
with
141
other
trees.
There
was
also
some
discussion
about
taking
down
a
mature
tree
and
putting
up
a
sapling.
E
E
They
provided
feedback
into
the
process
because
of
that
feedback,
we're
turning
off
the
billboard
from
midnight
to
six
we're
tilting
the
billboard
down
towards
the
ground
at
15
degrees.
They
have
automatic
dimming
capabilities
on
the
billboard,
no
white
or
bright
backgrounds,
and
we're
incorporating
elements
from
the
international
dark
skies
association
guideline.
E
All
of
that
is
in
the
council
policy
6-4,
and
all
of
that
clear
channel
agrees
to
back
in
back
in
2018
prior
to
the
decision
on
6-4,
the
city
was
in
discussions,
as
I
mentioned
before,
with
lick
observatory
and
the
airport
sites
were
noted
in
that
discussion
that
they
were
far
enough
away
to
be
outside
the
area
of
influence
of
the
observatory.
They're
about
16
miles
away
from
the
observatory
go
ahead
now,
with
regard
to
light
shielding
policy,
6-4
added
a
lot
of
extra
light
control.
E
E
E
E
E
On
the
issue
of
of
the
rfp
process,
clear
channel
followed
all
of
the
city
rules
and
processes.
This
is
a
three-year
public
process.
That's
been
transparent,
the
airport
has
publicly
communicated
our
intent
since
2019
and
the
city
when
building
policy
6-4
had
been
doing
that
since
2017.,
clear
channel
received
all
of
the
required
approvals
for
the
city
to
move
forward
with
this
project,
the
city
attorney's
office
was
actively
included
and
approved
the
process
that
we
did
with
clear
channel
after
receiving
those
approvals.
E
E
When
you
look
at
that
kind
of
performance
differential,
I
don't
think
there's
a
question
that
we
have
the
best
deal
that
we
would
be
able
to
get
without
an
rfp.
The
only
reason
we're
at
55
percent
of
gross
is
because
they're
you
they're
putting
this
billboard
in
the
existing
contract.
The
existing
contract
requires
55
percent
of
gross
period,
whether
it's
a
wall
wrap
on
one
of
the
garages
or
whether
it's
this
billboard.
It's
set
at
55
percent.
E
E
Before
covid,
I
got
a
chart
here:
the
cpe
for
the
for
the
airport,
the
cost
per
plane
passenger.
This
is
an
average
cost
that
the
airlines
pay
for
each
and
playing
passenger
in
2019.
When
we
were
growing
at
a
very
high
rate,
our
cpe
was
eight
dollars
and
21
cents,
a
great
cpe,
very
competitive
in
the
bay
area.
And
it's
what
one
of
the
reasons
we
were
growing
in
fy
20
cobit
hit
in
march.
We
had
eight
good
months
before
that.
E
E
So
I
had
staff
work
out.
What
does
a
million
dollars
of
revenue
mean
to
me?
A
million
dollars
in
revenue
means
reducing
the
cpe
by
30
cents,
so
every
time
clear
channel
if
they
produce
the
900
000,
because
they're
83
over
the
mag,
that
is
direct
revenue
to
the
airport.
That
is
100
profit.
I
don't
have
to
do
anything.
I
don't
have
to
support
it.
I
don't
have
to
air
condition
a
terminal
building
for
it.
E
E
E
Our
debt
service
dropped
to
below
50
million
dollars,
stayed
there
for
two
years,
because
when
we
refinanced
remember,
we
put
most
of
our
savings
up
front
to
help
us,
and
then
we
went
to
a
lower
but
still
flat
future.
So
in
2024,
our
debt
service
payment
goes
back
up
to
almost
70
million
dollars
and
then
stays
there.
So
we
have
a
great
two-year
time
period
where
our
debt
service
is
low.
I
have
to
prepare
the
airport
for
an
fy24
debt
service.
That
is
just
shy
of
twice
of
what
I'm
paying
right
now.
E
E
within
our
airline
lease
75
of
that
debt
service
is
covered
by
the
airlines,
but
25
is
covered
by
the
airport
through
all
of
our
revenue
sources,
whether
that's
the
parking
or
gt
fees,
ga
ground
rents,
and
these
billboards
all
goes
into
the
airport
share
of
paying
25
of
almost
70
million
dollars.
So
I
wanted
to
emphasize
the
fact
that,
although
it
may
seem
small,
it's
a
critical
component
to
us
being
able
to
manage
our
cpe
and
manage
our
debt
service
as
we
move
forward.
E
Remember
for
those
council
members
that
are
new
and
haven't
heard
this
before
the
airport
is
self
efficient.
We
have
to
raise
enough
money
to
cover
our
our
bills.
We
do
not
take
city
funds,
so
we
have
to
manage
that
70
million
dollars
of
debt
and
we
have
to
manage
it
with
reasonable
cost
per
employment
or
the
airlines
will
scream
at
us
and
pull
out.
So
we
have
to
balance
those
things
on
our
own
on
our
own
budget,
separate
from
the
city's
general
fund.
E
A
A
It's
our
belief
that
this
process
was
fully
compliant
with
the
policies
and
procedures
of
the
city
we
entered
into
lawful
agreements
with
the
city.
We
received
approvals
from
airport
and
planning
staff
that
in
turn
received
approvals
from
the
city
attorney.
I
also
want
to
take
this
time
to
address
recent
misstatements
about
our
privacy
policies.
A
We
want
to
assure
you
and
the
people
of
san
jose
that,
contrary
to
what
has
been
published,
clear
channel
does
not
collect
personally
identifiable
information
in
connection
with
our
measurement
products.
We
can't
speak
to
why
that
article
was
published
just
now,
but
it's
our
it's
our
position
that
that
was
poor
timing
and
very
inaccurate.
A
Our
billboards
have
no
cameras,
no
hardware
and
no
software
attached
to
them
for
measurement
purposes.
Again.
Clear
channel
does
not
track
consumer
behavior
through
telephones.
The
only
information
we
receive
is
from
third-party
data
providers.
These
reports
are
based
on
completely
anonymous
aggregated
information,
and
these
third
parties
represent
to
us
that
they
comply
with
all
applicable
privacy
laws.
A
M
Hi
hello,
members
of
the
council,
mr
mayor,
I'm,
the
regional
president
for
clear
channel
outdoor
here
in
northern
california.
We
started
a
process
two
years
ago
and
today
respectfully
asks
for
your
approval
of
this
environmental
report
allowing
digital
signs
at
the
airport.
We
followed
the
rules.
We
followed
the
process
receiving
approvals
from
airport
staff,
city
attorney
and
city
council
throughout.
M
We
have
followed
a
fully
transparent
process
where
the
public
had
the
opportunity
to
evaluate
this
project
multiple
times
over
two
years
we
have
already
received
environmental
approvals
from
city
planning,
the
airport,
commission
and
the
faa.
This
project
mitigates
the
concerns
of
stakeholders
who
care
about
safety,
the
environment,
the
night
sky
and
who
want
billboards
removed.
Not
all
billboards
are
alike.
This
is
a
good
project
and
the
airport
has
been
a
great
partner.
We
will
deliver
on
the
intended
benefits
of
policy
6-4.
M
We
will
reduce
the
overall
number
of
existing
billboards.
City-Wide,
the
removal
of
existing
billboards
will
show
social
equity.
We
will
generate
revenue
for
the
airport
that
is
much
needed.
We
respectfully
ask
for
your
support
of
the
environmental
report.
Thank
you,
I'm
here
to
answer
questions
as
well.
N
Yes,
there
was
a
lot
of
controversy
when
the
billboard
topic
first
came
up.
It
went
through
the
arts-
commission,
not
necessarily
the
airport
one,
but
just
billboards
in
general,
it
was
going
to
the
arts
commission
and
that
was
suspect
to
me
it's
like.
Why
are
billboards
going
to
the
arts
commission?
This
is
this
is
getting
art,
that's
advertising,
that's
that's
city,
business,
and
so
just
everything
around
that
soured
me
on
this
particular
topic.
Number
two,
the
person
that's
giving
the
presentation
right
now
a
couple
weeks
ago.
N
He
was
giving
false
information
and
he
got
he
got
nailed
for
it.
I
mean
the
seniors
from
the
non-profits
nailed
him
on
it.
Okay,
so
anything
that
came
out
of
his
mouth
today
is
suspect:
number
three
you're
placing
something
near
an
airport
so
that
the
people
that
are
flying
in
all
these
400
000
people
that
you're
going
to
be
having
in
the
way
that
san
jose
is
going
to
expand.
N
You
just
want
to
use
that
as
a
means
to
generate
cash.
You
know-
and
so
it's
like
that
isn't
being
talked
about,
because
this
is
what's
being
planned.
So
just
everything
around
this
topic-
man-
it
just.
I
don't
care
if
it's
the
law.
Okay,
because
slavery
was
legal,
okay
and
so
was
redlining.
That
was
legal
too.
N
So,
just
because
something
is
legal
doesn't
mean
it's
okay
doesn't
mean
it's
right
doesn't
mean
it's
ethical
doesn't
mean
it's
moral,
so
I
think
we
have
a
moral
and
ethical
obligation
in
addition
to
observing
the
law,
and
sometimes
those
don't
square.
You
know-
and
sometimes
protest
needs
to
happen.
You
know
sometimes
confrontation
needs
to
happen
with
the
government,
because
we
have
a
constitutional
protected
right
to
address
all
grievances
to
our
government.

Good
afternoon,
mayor
locato
and
council
members,
my
name
is
juliana
pendleton
and
I'm
the
environmental
advocacy
assistant
for
santa
clara
valley,
audubon
society,
santa
clara
valley,
audubon,
is
opposed
to
any
new
digital
building.
In
fact,
scvas
has
been
consistently
and
vocally
opposed
to
electronic
billboards
in
san
jose
since
2017.
J

C

Money
and
votes
seem
to
be
the
only
catalyst
first
vote
for
mayoral
and
council
candidates
that
actually
listen
to
and
represent
the
voice
of
the
people.
Second,
we
need
to
take
grassroots
efforts
to
the
next
level.
I
propose
the
citizen
takes
matters
into
their
own
hands.
Let's
put
all
businesses
that
use
billboards
for
advertisements
on
notice
that
we
will
boycott
their
products
and
services.
C
Everyone
start
taking
pictures
of
billboards
and
posting
them
on
nextdoor
to
support
the
cause
with
the
title.
No
billboards
in
san
jose.
This
will
render
them
worthless,
spread
the
word
we
can
completely
read
san
jose
of
all
billboards,
let's
clean
up
san
jose
and
make
it
a
beautiful
city
again,
starting
with
no
billboards.
Thank
you.
A
A
We
don't
know
why
the
city
council
rejected
the
planning
department's
recommended
ten
to
one
replacement
ratio
and
adopted
a
four
to
one
ratio.
Instead,
we
don't
know
who
would
decide
which
conventional
billboards
would
be
taken
down
using
what
standard
we
don't
know
the
total
number
of
existing
conventional
billboards
that
would
remain
standing
at
the
end
of
the
implementation
of
phase
one.
A
We
don't
know
why,
after
almost
seven
years
since
billboards
were
first
declared
a
city
priority,
do
these
questions
and
other
important
questions
remain
unanswered.
So
how
can
you
properly
evaluate
a
proposal
without
this
crucial
information
being
known?
So
what
do
we
know?
I
think
it's
very
safe
to
say
we
know
the
city
council
doesn't
understand
the
implications
of
policy
6-4
which
it
passed
with
no
adequate
public
outreach
or
input.
A
There
is
a
fundamental
issue
and
a
threshold
question
that
we
all
need
to
ask
and
not
just
gloss
over,
and
that
fundamental
question
is
whether
or
not
the
airport
and
clear
channel
have
the
authority
under
the
current
2007
contract
for
this
project,
the
2007
agreement
is
primarily
for
in-terminal
type
advertising.
It
does
not
include
outdoor
billboards.
A
There
was
an
amendment
in
2010
that
allowed
clear
channel
to
introduce
additional
locations.
However,
the
prohibition
of
outdoor
billboards
remains.
If
you
look
at
section
4.7
I
of
the
2007
agreement,
it
expressly
says
that
outdoor
advertising
is
prohibited
under
that
contract,
yet
the
airport
and
clear
channel
are
trying
to
fit
a
square
peg
in
a
round
hole.
Why?
Because
they
don't
want
this
matter
to
go
to
public
solicitation
to
an
rfp
process.
A
I
also
note
that
in
the
presentation
there
was
an
assumption
that
this
is
the
best
deal
that
the
city
can
get
and
there
were
graphs
about
other
deals
and
other
jurisdictions,
and
I
don't
know
where
that
information
actually
came
from
and
what
it
was
based
on.
However,
I
can
tell
you
that
the
deal
that
is
proposed
by
clear
channel
is
not
the
best
deal
that
the
city
can
get
and
out
front
is
prepared
to
make
a
better
deal
to
the
city.
Thank
you
very
much.
A
Action
council
we're
trying
to
preserve
the
things
that
are
truly
distinctive
to
this
place.
We
call
home
such
as
lick
observatory,
which
is
the
most
prominent,
but
not
only
example
of
why
I'm
commenting
today,
pack
maintains
that
the
initial
study
addendum
is
wholly
insufficient
to
take
into
account
the
cumulative
impact
of
historic
and
cultural
resources
and
aesthetics
that
are
at
stake
here.
A
The
city
of
san
jose
should
consider
the
impact
of
approving
digital
signage
for
advertising
on
public
lands,
as
it
relates
to
future
inevitable
legislation
by
private
property
owners
demanding
the
same
privilege.
The
digital
billboards
industry
also
has
goes
to
great
efforts
to
argue
through
experts
that
there's
no
impact
elixir
observatories
dark
sky
operations.
A
This
is
hardly
objective
and
definitely
far
too
limited
of
analysis.
A
full
eir
would
fix
that
when
james
lick
commissioned
the
observatory,
it
was
the
first
it
was
on
a
mountaintop.
Why?
Because
mountaintops
are
clear
of
the
light
and
the
dense
air
that
you
have
at
sea
level.
It
was
a
first
and
it
was
done
here.
A
They
continue
to
do
historic,
firsts
here,
the
astrophysicists
that
are
up
there
today.
You
see
that
on
mountaintop
every
day
you
look
up
at
mount
hamilton
and
copernicus
have
done
adaptive
optics
so
that
they
can
look
optically
further
into
the
universe
than
they
ever
could
before
by
squishing
a
lens
making
a
liquid
lens.
It's
amazing
what
the
uc
observatories
is
doing.
Anything
that
we
do
for
the
number
of
dollars
that
are
at
stake
here
is
sacrificing
one
of
our
most
valuable
historic
assets
and
the
ongoing
capabilities
of
that
organization.
Thank
you.
S
Good
afternoon
my
name
is
paul
lynum,
I'm
an
astronomer
at
league
observatory.
First
of
all,
I
want
to
comment
on
the
dates
mentioned
in
the
presentation
which
are
meaningful,
uco,
the
university
of
california.
Observatories
was
con
consulted
by
the
city
in
august
of
2018
about
billboards
in
the
downtown
area,
primarily
17
city-owned
sites.
At
that
time
there
was
no
phase
1
or
no
phase
2.
In
the
terminology,
we
gave
our
recommendations,
which
appeared
somewhat
reduced
in
council
policy
6-4
in
the
more
than
three
succeeding
years.
S
It
would
seem
that
thus
far,
these
assurances
have
not
been
fulfilled.
The
people
have
spoken
to
quote,
commissioner
hendricks.
I
exhort
the
council
to
listen
to
the
people,
adopt
the
commissioner's
recommendations
in
full.
Add
to
the
city's
climate.
Smart
credentials
remain
consistent
with
the
long-term
objectives
of
the
city
and
leave
the
city's
decades-long
world
leading
reputation.
R
F
F
J
Okay,
thank
you.
The
first
thing
I
would
like
to
say
is
that
the
city
council
should
follow
the
lead
of
the
airport
commission
and
I'd
like
you
before
you
vote
to
ask
yourself.
Why
did
the
airport
commission
reject
this
proposal
not
once
but
twice
they
rejected
it?
You
sent
it
back
and
they
rejected
it
again.
J
So
why
is
that
changing
now?
I
also
found
the
initial
presentation
to
be
very
one-sided.
They
commented,
as
some
other
lick
observatory.
Speakers
have
said,
the
initial
presentations
that
look
observatory,
all
their
conditions
had
been
met,
and
yet
lick
observatory
is
saying:
that's
not
so
they
talked
about
the
43
trees,
being
removed
and
being
replaced,
but
the
mature
trees
that
are
already
there
now
they
act
as
a
buffer
for
the
freeway,
the
guadalupe
river
and
the
airport
and
the
one
of
the.
J
We're
having
a
real
problem
with
traffic
fatalities,
and
I
find
these
billboards
to
be
a
great
driver
distraction
not
only
that
but
they're
energy
hogs,
and
they
create
the
light
pollution
a
lot
local
businesses
will
not
benefit.
Usually
the
consumer
products
are
not
from
local
businesses,
and
I
think
it's
going
to
be
insignificant
revenue,
plus
the
overwhelming
public
opposition
should
be
taken
into
account
before
voting
on
this.
F
L
A
A
Council
would
probably
have
some.
You
know
you
have
to
be
a
left-wing
company
to
be
on
the
billboards,
I'm
sure
they
would
if
they
goes
up
they're
going
to
dictate
who
gets
who
gets
to
advertise
or
what
you
know
you're
not
going
to
be
able
to
advertise
a
firearm.
That's
for
sure
this
didn't
count,
so
I
could
just
for
me
it's
just
it's
too
much
trouble.
You
know
it's
going
to
be
too
much
regulation
for
I.
A
If
I
was
cleared
channel,
I
wouldn't
do
it
because
can
you
imagine
the
the
the
cairns
on
the
city
council
what
they're
going
to
dictate
once
it's
up?
Can
you
I
mean
hey
you
guys
at
clear
channel,
be
be
prepared
for
for
the
karen
city
council
what
you
can
and
can't
do
I
just
don't
personally,
I
don't
like
him,
but
I
have
a
hard
time
being
able
not
to
tell
clear
channel
if
they
can't
use
freedom
of
speech.
A
As
for
you
know
around
the
airport
that
airport's
so
ugly
anyways
an
eyesore,
you
know-
maybe
maybe
putting
up
a
billboard,
would
polish
that
turd
of
an
airport,
what
they
should
do
is
maybe
do
something
inside
the
airport
that
makes
it
better
it's
the
most
depressing
airport,
both
inside
and
out.
So
it
feels
like
something
that
would
be
like
in
70s,
eastern
europe
or
something,
but
I
don't
know
in
the
end,
I
think
claire
channel
should
be
really
careful
doing
business
in
this
city.
This.
This
is
this.
A
A
A
A
P
Hi,
council,
members
and
mayor-
I'm
writing
once
more
in
in
this
forum
today
to
here
to
speak,
to
oppose
any
construction
of
electronic
billboards
within
san
jose.
Yet
again,
the
airport
commissioners
overwhelmingly
voted
to
recommend
to
you,
our
council
and
our
mayor
to
oppose
the
electronic
billboards.
P
The
electronic
billboards
would
affect
the
visual
aesthetics
of
our
skyline,
the
quality
of
life
for
those
who
would
be
utilizing
the
guadalupe
river
trail
up
north
from
the
downtown
by
the
airport,
as
well
as
wildlife,
especially
after
dusk,
to
midnight.
Also,
if
electronic
billboards
go
up,
state
laws
would
make
it
impossible
for
them
to
ever
come
down.
We're
basically
lining
the
pockets
of
clear
channel
in
order
to
sell
out
our
city,
and
what
we
have
now
is
freeways
that
you're
driving
and
you're
not
being
distracted.
P
We
have
enough
problems
with
people
driving
that
don't
know
how
to
drive
in
the
lack
of
officers
for
traffic
control.
To
then
add
one
more
distraction
on
our
highways
and
who
pays
for
all
the
lawsuits
and
litigation
once
accidents
start
happening.
I
can't
find
a
d.o.t
study
that
supports
having
electronic
billboards
in
any
highway
across
this
nation
vote
to
oppose
and
do
the
right
thing
for
those
who
put
you
in
office.
Thank
you.
A
We
go.
Can
you
hear
me?
Yes,
hello?
Yes,
we
can
hear
you,
okay,
thank
you.
The
gate.
You
know
where
those
trees
are
is
a
big
issue,
because
it's
a
gateway
to
the
city,
not
just
a
gateway
to
the
airport
and
the
proposal
to
put
120
trees
somewhere
in
south
san
jose
does
not
adequately
cover
the
loss
of
43,
mature
trees
native
or
not.
Almost
all
the
trees
that
are
in
san
jose
right
now
are
not
native.
So
that's
not
an
argument.
A
If
the
airport,
you
know
a
million
dollars
is
a
lot
of
money
to
me,
but
if
a
million
dollars
is
going
to
make
or
break
the
airport,
maybe
we
should
really
look
at
who's
running
the
airport
and
what
the
numbers
are
like,
because
when
you
do
look
at
the
numbers,
actually
it's
a
small
percentage
and
even
the
gentleman
from
the
airport
said
it
was
30
percent,
30
cents,
I'm
sorry
a
person.
I
don't
think
that's
exactly
a
deal
breaker.
A
I
think
the
real
question
is:
are
we
going
to
follow
the
commission?
You
know
who's
running
the
city.
Is
it
the
special
interest
groups
or
is
it
the
people?
I
mean
you've
had
petitions,
emails
overwhelmingly
overwhelmingly
say
they
don't
want
the
billboards,
so
it'll
be
really
interesting
to
see
the
vote.
Since
three
council
members
are
running
for
mayor
and
are
they
running
for
the
people
or
are
they
running
for
the
special
interest
groups?
A
Again,
you
know
the
commission
is
supposed
to
help
represent
the
people.
The
commission
said
twice,
don't
bring
do
the
billboards
and
I
urge
you
to
follow
the
commission,
follow
the
people
and
don't
approve
these
billboards.
I
think
it's
a
step
in
the
wrong
direction
that
we
can't
go
back
and
reverse.
Thank
you
very
much.
F
J
In
the
five
years
since
council
started
promoting
electronic
billboards,
scientists,
environmental
groups,
grassroots
community
groups
and
thousands
of
residents
have
engaged
all
expressing
unwavering
opposition.
These
billboards
create
visual
clutter
and
light
pollution
that
increases
stress,
harms
birds
and
wildlife
and
degrades
quality
of
life
for
all.
J
Unlike
other
issues
in
the
public
realm,
with
differing
opinions
and
feasible
compromise,
the
pervasive
and
unavoidable
impacts
of
electronic
billboards
are
impossible
to
reconcile
the
airport
commission
provided
good
recommendations
for
council
to
reject
the
billboard
proposal,
amend
the
city's
sign
code
and
policies
to
eliminate
billboards,
study,
other
ways
to
generate
revenue
and
enforce
the
prohibitions
of
illegal
billboards
and
blighted
billboards.
The
santa
clara
valley,
audubon
society,
supports
these
recommendations.
O
Thank
you
so
much
yes,
tessa
woodman
c.
Basically,
I'm
so
glad
to
hear
tim
claussen.
He
was
amazing.
Thank
you.
Chip
and
meredith
muller
contacted
me.
My
neighbor,
you
know
saying
is
this
up
and
I
said:
okay,
let's
go
look,
and
you
know
this
is
very
much
concerning
of
our
neighbors.
Thank
you
neighbors.
Thank
you
for
for
standing
up
for
for
d
growth,
I
mean
that's.
What
we're
talking
about
here
is
d
growth
and
that's
what
science
says
we
have
to
do
to
get
to
zero
emissions
by
2030..
That's
eight
years.
O
Okay,
that's
what
we're
talking
about
and
really
well.
We
need
to
keep
it
in
the
ground
now
because,
as
we're
seeing
keep
fossil
fuels
in
the
ground
and
when
we're
taking
away
trees
and
we're
promoting
air
travel-
and
you
know
and
and
even
on
our
buses,
it
says
the
buses
at
the
airport
say,
go
somewhere.
O
You
know
either
way
it's
going
to
be
in
our
future,
but
the
best
thing
is
that
we
stop
burning
fossil
fuels
and
so
to
promote
anything
that
gets
people
to
go,
fly,
go
drive,
go,
go
here,
go
there
when
we
need
to
start,
you
know
creating
a
hyper
local,
which
means
growing
food
and
being
producers,
not
consumers
and
you're,
not
promoting
that
you're.
Promoting
everything.
That's
antithetical
to
that
antithesis,
whatever
the
word
is.
Thank
you.
C
Good
afternoon
I'm
mayor
licardo
in
city
council,
my
name
is
ryan
globus.
I
live
in
san
jose
in
d6.
I'm
asking
you
to
oppose
these
billboards.
I
just
want
to
especially
highlight
some
of
those
previous
speakers.
I've
mentioned
the
distracted
driving
concern,
there's
an
epidemic
of
distracted
driving,
whether
it's
texting
or
using
buggy
tesla
software
hitting
bollards
in
downtown
san
jose.
C
Looked
it
up
on
youtube.
That
has
happened,
and
this
is
an
especially
dangerous
area.
101
near
the
airport.
You
know
with
the
87
interchange
there,
you
know
you
have
a
lot
of
traffic
building
up.
You
have
people
cutting
in
at
the
last
minute
to
try
to
avoid
that
traffic.
I've
had
to
slam
on
the
brakes
many
many
times,
navigating
that
interchange
as
people
cut
in
at
the
last
minute,
and
so
this
is
a
very
dangerous
place
to
put
more
distractions.
So
I
urge
you
to
oppose.
Thank
you.
H
E
What
is
your
cpe
and
they
say
theirs
is
ten?
The
airline
sits
down
and
kind
of
value,
value
engineers
the
flight
opportunity
and
discusses
within
themselves
the
market
share.
We
may
have
a
stronger
market,
but
if
our
cost
is
significantly
higher,
is
it
better
for
the
airline
to
go
to
the
lower
cost
airport?
I
think
it's.
You
know
it's
a
factor
that
we've
used
a
lot
with
the
airlines
and
the
dramatic
change
during
covid
was
a
shock
to
our
airline
partners.
E
They
understood
the
shock
I
mean
everything
was,
was
a
little
messed
up
during
covet,
but
it's
a
huge
shock
to
them
and
I
think
it's
important
to
realize
as
we
grow
out
of
this
as
we
bring
british
airways
back
in
june.
As
we,
you
know,
work
towards
bringing
back
the
asian
flights
as
soon
as
those
countries
open
up
to
us,
bringing
back
canada,
the
east
coast,
all
of
those
different
flights.
E
E
It's
not
an
exact
science,
but
it
gives
you
a
rough
comparison
to
the
different
airports,
and
so
it's
really
important
as
we
grow
out
of
this,
that
we're
able
to-
and
you
know,
encourage
the
airlines
to
come
back-
that
we
have
reasonable
rates
and
charges
and
that
they're
seeing
a
trend
right
now.
They're
seeing
30
30
something
dollars
go
down
to
22
and
they
want
to
see
that
trend
of
coming
back
out
of
covid.
So
this
is
an
important
time
for
us
to
have
a
cpe
that
continues
to
drop
back
below
ten
dollars.
H
Thanks
sean,
I
I
just
wanted
to
ask
that
question
because
I
think
a
lot
of
folks
don't
understand
the
cpe
and
what
exactly
it
means,
at
least
in
the
public,
and
so
I
want
to
make
sure
folks
do
understand.
This
is
really
a
key
determinant
for
whether
we
lose
flights
or
regain
flights
and
right
now,
a
lot
of
people's
jobs
depend
on
us
being
able
to
continue
to
have
flights
at
the
airport
so
and
not
to
mention
a
lot
of
folks
who
depend
on
our
airport
for
for
travel.
H
H
We
would
be
happy
to
have
a
city
without
any
billboards,
there's
overwhelmingly
public
opposition
for
all
the
reasons
we
understand,
which
is
that
they're
aesthetically
unattractive,
and
we
know
where
that
blight
is
most
frequent.
Inevitably,
the
billboards
go
in
neighborhoods
near
freeways.
Those
neighborhoods
are
often
low-income,
neighborhoods
that
are
already
most
challenged
by
issues
of
flight
and
crime,
and
those
neighborhoods
suffer
the
most.
H
So
here's
the
problem,
though
we're
not
starting
in
1940
we're
starting
in
2022
and
we've
inherited
a
city
with
dozens
of
billboards
pre-existing
to
all
of
us.
None
of
them
approved
to
my
knowledge.
Well,
I've
ever
been
on
the
council
or,
as
mayor
it's
my
knowledge.
All
of
this
got
here
first
and
we'd
love
to
tear
down
all
these
billboards
tomorrow,
now
nora.
My
understanding
is.
We
actually
can't
do
that
because
there
are
property
rights
attached
to
the
billboards
and
agreements
and
essentially,
if
we
did
that
we'd
have
to
go
find.
H
I
didn't
want
these
electric
signs
city-wide
and
I
voted
against
that.
But
then
eventually
came
back
to
the
council
and
was
very
clear
if
we're
going
to
allow
them
in
downtown
in
the
airport.
Those
are
the
only
two
places
in
the
city
where
I
think
there
would
in
any
way
be
appropriate
and-
and
we
could
tear
down
many
more
billboards
in
neighborhoods.
H
We
could
actually
address
the
widespread
public
concern
for
tearing
down
neighborhoods
in
the
places
in
which
they
live,
and
so
we
came
up
with
policy
6-4
and
by
the
way
that
policy
was
a
while
ago
that
we
approved
it.
What
was
it
2019?
I
can't
remember
rosen.
Do
you
have
to
remember
2018
2018.,
okay,
2018.,
hey
sean
thanks,
very
much
so
yeah,
so
three
or
four
years
ago.
So
this
is
not
news.
H
Then
we
could
remove
a
lot
of
blight
from
neighborhoods
where
people
most
wanted
to
see
billboards
gone
and
that,
after
all,
I
think,
is
a
worthwhile
objective
and
that's
what
policy
6-4
reflects
is
a
six
is
a
four
to
one
tear
down
requirement
by
the
way.
I
think
we
can
do
better
than
that.
I
think
we
could
get
a
better
teardown
requirement
on
this
contract
than
all
future
contracts
too.
But
fundamentally
that's
what
the
council
voted
for.
H
J
H
H
Okay
and
a
policy
6-4,
the
planning
department
would
decide
based
on
what's
the
most
blighted,
and
I
assume
that
clear,
channel
or
whatever
company
would
probably
want
to
identify
those
billboards
where
the
leases
have
expired.
But
ultimately
the
city
would
would
control
that,
because
the
city
controls
the
permit.
Is
that
fair
to
say.
J
H
J
E
Okay,
I
believe
mr
mayor
rosalind
was
referring
to.
There
was
a
permit
process
when
the
sign
was
built
and
erected,
not
a
permit
process.
That
kind
of
goes
through
its
operating
life
cycle.
So
there's
not
a
permit
renewal
or
anything
on
those.
It
would
have
to
be
a
clear
channel.
Billboard
that
was
identified
as
polite
and
clear
channel
would
would
choose
from
the
I
don't
say
they
have
20
billboards
in
the
city
they're
supposed
to
take
down
eight.
E
H
H
Okay,
I
guess
here's
what
I'm
getting
at.
I
know
my
time's
just
about
up
we've
heard
from
a
lot
of
members
of
the
public
who
are
upset
about
this,
and
they
should
be
because
nobody
likes
billboards.
We
haven't
heard
from
a
single
member
of
a
single
neighborhood
where
these
billboards
are
actually
going
to
get
torn
down.
H
Those
are
the
members
of
the
community
who
are
not
represented
in
this
discussion
and
those
are
the
members
of
the
community
who
could
benefit
not
by
tearing
down
four
to
one.
But
if
we
went
to
six
to
one,
if
we
had
12
billboards,
we
could
tear
down,
as
I've
recently
discussed,
with
clear
channel
they'd,
be
willing
to
actually
take
down
and
we
could
restrict
them
and
say:
look
they've
got
to
be
in
the
neighborhoods
that
are
most
afflic
afflicted
with
light
and,
and
we
could
use
set
up.
H
H
I
think
we
can
also
mandate
that
they
use
total
green
from
our
stanza,
clean
energy,
so
there's
all
non-ghg
energy
that
is
used.
That
means
100,
renewable
or
hydro
to
power,
these
things
so
there's
no
environmental
impact.
I
think
we
could
have
a
higher
tree
mitigation
requirements.
They
have
to
replace
every
tree
with
five
trees
uniformly,
regardless
of
what
kind
of
tree
they
are.
H
G
G
So
I
have
a
process
question,
maybe
more
for
it's
for
staff,
but
I'm
curious
if
who
I
asked
that
to
I
don't
know
if
it's
you
rosalind
or
someone
else,
or
maybe
the
airport
staff,
but
assuming
we
wanted
to
move
forward
in
a
way
that
the
mayor
just
mentioned
as
it
relates
to
you
know:
a
higher
takedown
ratio,
additional
trees,
clean
energy,
all
that
great
stuff.
I
think
how
what
would
be
the
most
appropriate
way
to
move
forward
in
that
manner,
assuming
we
were
gonna
approve.
E
I
I
would
say
that
the
most
efficient
way
would
be
to
approve
the
eir
in
in
this
project
plan
with
these
additional
stipulations,
and
I
deliver
that
to
clear
channel
and
if
they
don't
agree
to
them.
Like
the
mayor
said,
then
we
they
step
away
and
we
we
move
a
different
direction,
but
if
they
say
no,
that's
reasonable,
then
the
billboards
get
built
and
the
city
gets
a
significant
reduction
in
billboards
and
perhaps
the
start
of
a
new
tree
canopy
in
the
neighborhoods
right
that
that
may
be
without
trees.
At
this
point,.
G
Yeah
john,
I
I
appreciate
that.
I
guess
I
guess
I'm
wondering
as
it
relates
to,
for
example,
where
some
of
the
takedowns
of
the
billboards
are
going
to
take
place
right.
Do
you
need
us
to
be
explicit
as
to
where
we
want
those
to
come
down
right
or
or
just
give
you
direction
to
negotiate
some
of
that
or
how
do
you
see
that
happening.
E
I
think
the
direction
that
the
mayor
suggested
that
they'd
be
in
neighborhoods
that
meet
these
criteria
and
then
the
planning
group
who
has
a
list
of
billboards
in
in
these
neighborhoods
and
the
airport
staff
work
together
with
clear
channel
to
make
sure
as
much
as
humanly
possible.
They
follow
that
direction.
G
E
E
He
went
with
a
six
to
one
takedown
above
the
four
to
one:
that's
currently
there,
so
that
would
be
12
billboards
and
he
went
with
a
five
to
one
replacement
for
trees,
regardless
whether
they're
native
or
non-native,
it's
just
five
to
one
for
those
trees
and
then
within
the
billboard
component.
The
mayor
talked
about,
I
think
you
said
the
85
percentile
of
income
as.
G
Okay,
okay,
all
right!
Listen
all!
That
sounds
good.
The
only
thing
I
would
say-
and
I
you
know
I'm
going
to
make
a
motion
and
give
direction
essentially
that
that
encompasses
and
brings
into
the
fold
much
of
what
was
said
already.
The
only
other
thing
I
would
say
I
would
add
that
that
the
replacement
trees
be.
In
addition,
you
know
we
went
over
a
community
forest
management
plan.
G
I
think
it
was
called
and
we
recognize
that
there's
certain
parts
of
the
city
that
are
missing,
obviously
a
host
of
trees
and
canopy
and
such
and
so
the
only
additional
direction
I
would
add
to
what
you
have
written
down
john,
is
that
the
replacement
of
those
trees
be
in
those
districts
that
need
more
canopy,
say,
district
five,
say
district,
seven
and
so
being
explicit
about
that.
I
think.
G
Is
it
important
and
I'll
leave
leave
it
for
council
member
to
comment
on
that
she
sees
fit,
but
anyhow
I'll
make
the
motion
to
approve
staff
recommendation
a
and
b
the
the
amendment
to
the
master
plan,
eir
amendment
and
then
obviously
the
public
hearing.
In
addition
to
the
things
you
jotted
down,
that
were
the
mayor's
recommendation,
which
is
a
six
to
one,
take
down
ratio.
G
D
D
That
could
also
benefit
our
community.
I
think
that
you
know
we
have
the
leverage
in
that
regard,
if
we're
going
to
allow
something
like
this.
My
main
concern
in
this
regard,
and
as
it
was
put
in
the
memo,
excuse
me
that
I
issued
and
cosigned
with
you
and
a
couple
of
our
colleagues
at
the
end
of
last
year
is
in
regards
to
the
actual
rfp
process
itself,
and
I
wanted
to
to
highlight
and
speak
to
some
of
the
the.
I
think,
the
concerns
that
I
had
and
I
recognized
in
2018.
D
There
was
some
direction
to
move
forward
that
if
I
were
clear
channel
right
clearly
in
their
sense
being
led
to
to
believe
that
what
they
were
doing
right
now
and
the
investment
they
were
making
the
ir
was,
was
completely
possible
and
based
on
their
their
contract
that
they
had
from
from
back
in
2007
that
I
think
was
amended
in
2010,
and
it's
that
amendment
in
2010.
That
is
the
understanding
from
both
our
city
staff
and
and
clear
channel.
D
That
gave
the
authority
to
be
able
to
to
propose
these
outdoor
billboards,
and
in
my
reading
of
it
I
I
don't
see
that
there
clearly
articulated
at
all.
In
fact,
I
see
the
opposite
where
their
specification
on
outdoor
billboards
that
speaks
to
its
need
to
be
facing
towards
the
the
airport
or
be
airport
advertising,
and
then
there
is
a,
I
think,
some
pretty
broad
or
rigged
terminology
in
regards
to
other
marketing
opportunities.
That
may
come
forward
and
and
and
really
just
the
broad
terms
on
saying.
D
For
me
I
would
have
highlighted
it
then,
but
the
language
was
even
vague
when
we
proceeded
there.
That
was,
you
know,
did
not
specify,
I
think,
truly
something
clear
as
a
direction
to
provide
digital
billboards
that
were
again
outward
facing
on
airport
property,
and
so
it
has
not
been
clear
as
it's
gone
through
this
process
and
and
it
did
become-
or
at
least
to
me
I
should
say-
and
it
did
become
more
clear
to
me
at
the
end
of
last
year
as
this
was
coming
forward.
D
R
Thank
you
mayor,
so
I
actually
had
a
question.
I
was
intrigued
mayor
by
your
comments
at
the
beginning
and
the
opportunities
that
might
exist
here
wanted
to
see
if
councilmember
jimenez
would
be
willing
to
accept
an
amendment
that
we
could
add
to
the
equity
screen
that
would
be
applied,
that
we
could
add
police
beats
that
have
20
percent
more
crime
to
the
equity
screen.
That's
proposed.
G
R
F
B
Yeah,
thank
you.
I
have
a
few
questions
and
and
just
to
run,
raise
some
concerns.
I
have
about
about
the
still
have
about
the
proposal
and
ask
maybe
it's
questions
for
john
and
potentially,
if
we
we
have,
we
had
the
person
from
clear
channel
a
lot
and
said
he
was
really
ready
to
answer
questions.
We're
asking
for
some
concessions
here
that
are
beyond
what
was
in
the
initial
proposal.
B
Me
let
me
just
start
with
the
question
of
takedowns.
I
think
takedowns
are
important
and
I
think
that
that's
what
we've
all
been
aiming
for,
our
policy
6-4
in
the
city
has
has
a
takedown
ratio
of
four
to
one
by
faces
and
and
right
now
we're
asking
for
a
total
of
12
takedowns
for
these
four
large
faces
that
are
being
put
up.
B
H
B
We
so
we
could
have
a
combination
of
minimum
12
signs,
minimum
16
faces,
but
I'd
like
not
to
allow
for
an
opportunity
to
have
fewer
than
the
four
to
one
face-to-face
ratio
right.
That
would
be
my
my
hope,
my
just
in
in
combination
with
that
you
know,
there's
there's
also
a
large.
This
is
a
large.
These
are
large
songs,
and
I
know
that
that
we've
had
this
conversation
a
little
bit
behind
the
scenes
with
some
folks
and
I've
been
talking
to
clear,
channel
and
others
about
whether
this
size
sign
is
necessary.
B
The
standard
billboards
in
the
city
now
or
that
are
considered
standard
billboards
are
14
by
48..
The
proposal
here
is
for
signs
that
are
20
by
60,
so
they're
twice
the
surface
area
of
traditional
billboards,
so
you
know
I've
even
started
to
wonder
whether
we
should
get
more
takedown
for
the
larger
size.
My
preference
would
be
to
just
go
for
this
to
try
to
make
the
sizes
smaller,
because
one
of
my
big
concerns
about
this
project
is
energy
consumption
and
obviously
the
reduction
in
the
size
of
the
sign
would
reduce
the
energy
consumption.
B
E
What
we've,
what
we've
heard
from
clear
channel
is
that
in
the
freeway
environment,
the
20
by
60
is
the
standard
size.
So
if
you
go
up
and
like
the
mayor
said,
if
you
go
up
just
a
couple
miles,
you
have
a
couple
more
digital
billboards,
they're
all
at
the
20
by
60.
that
size
sign
allows
you
to
have
the
size
font
that
you
can
read
as
you're
traveling
past
the
sign.
So
I
think
the
smaller
you
get,
the
the
less
readable.
E
The
message
will
be
to
those
traveling
by
so
there'd,
be
less
value
to
the
sign
versus
a
sign
downtown
where
you
may
be
at
a
stop
sign
right
and
you're
a
stop
light
and
you're,
not
traveling
at
a
high
rate
of
speed.
So
I'm
not
sure
that
going
away
from
the
standard
in
this
situation
to
smaller
would
be
something
that.
E
That
would
be
acceptable.
It
would
be
my
guess
that
would
be
my
my
guess
from
clear
channel
that
they
would
have
issue
with
that
one.
Okay,
I
think
the
the
signs
being
led
powered
they
are
more
energy
efficient
than
you
know
normal,
like
lighted
signs,
but
you're
right,
the
bigger
the
sign
has
more
leds.
E
B
B
B
So
there
is
an
advantage
to
taking
down
standard
billboards
from
a
light
pollution
standpoint,
because
we
wouldn't
we're
taking
down
signs
that
have
light
pointing
upward
and
installing
signs
with
shielding
around
the
lights
to
make
sure
they're
only
pointing
downward.
So
from
a
light
pollution
standpoint,
I
think
we
can
gain
from
doing
you
know
maximizing
our
takedown,
I'm
still
concerned,
obviously
about
power
consumption.
Let
me
ask
the
maker
the
motion
for
two
friendly
and
then
one
friendly
met
two
friendly
amendments.
B
G
Yeah,
I'm
inclined
to
support
that.
I
guess
you
know.
As
I
was
listening
to
your
line
of
questioning,
councilmember
cohen,
I
was
wondering,
did,
and
maybe
I
missed
it,
but
did
you
and
I
know,
obviously
this
is
up
to
us
to
to
put
forward
these
terms
that
are
that
are
meaningful
for
the
city
right.
But
did
you
happen
to
ask
clear
channels
sort
of
what
their
thoughts
are
on
some
of
your
questions.
B
H
B
G
B
G
E
Ahead
john,
I
just
wanted
to
add
a
little
bit
to
your
light
pollution
theory
that
remember
the
downtown
billboards
that
are
up
lit
do
produce
a
lot
more
light,
they're,
also
on
all
the
way
through
the
dark
knight.
These
digital
billboards
get
shut
off
from
midnight
to
six,
so
the
overall,
both
power,
consumption
and
light
pollution
is
dramatically
less
on
these.
So
you
would
get
a
lot
less
overall
lighting,
if
you
took
down
old-fashioned
billboards
right
that
keep
the
spotlights
on
all
night
long
versus
shutting
them
down
like
we're.
Shutting
down
the.
B
Digitals
right
yeah,
I
I
appreciate
that
I
think
the
light
pollution
argument
is
there
I'm
not
still
not
sold
on
the
energy
consumption
argument.
I
wanted
to
ask
somebody
on
clear
channel
a
question
about
what
I've
been
talking
to
about
a
lot,
and
I
know
there's
a
technical
challenge
right
now
with
powering
the
billboards
with
solar.
M
Yeah,
as
councilman
cohen,
stated
that
the
technology
does
not
exist
to
to
do
that,
we're
open
to
to
energy.
You
know
to
looking
at
things
and
and
projects.
I
think
what
we
also
need
to
consider
is,
if
you're
putting
you,
know
solar
panels
or
trying
to
put
solar
panels
on
top
of
billboards,
you're
likely
going
to
have
an
faa
issue
and
different
things
like
that.
So
there's
a
lot
of
practical
things
that
I'd
like
to
say:
yes,
but
I
don't
know
that
they'll
be
overcome,
so
we'll
try
to
be.
B
I
appreciate
that
yeah
I
mean
I
think,
it'd
be
great
to
figure
out
how
we
can
work
on
this
issue,
and
I
I
know
I'm
getting
over
my
time.
But
let
me
ask
one
more
question
of
john.
I
think
this
question
is
for
oh
yeah,
this
question's
for
john
right
now
the
airport
is,
it
doesn't
have
isn't
on
san
jose's,
clean
energy,
right
network,
their
net,
consumer
of
of
energy
for
sure
and
and
you're
not
powered
by
san
jose,
clean
energy.
Is
that
something
that
we
could
do
is
convert?
B
E
We
are
on
san
jose,
clean
energy.
We
are
at
their
85,
plus
percent,
clean
energy
and
prior
to
covid.
We
had
put
in
a
budget
request
for
the
additional
300
000,
I
believe,
to
go
to
hundred
percent,
but
because
coven
hit
us
so
hard.
I
had
pulled
that
out
of
the
budget.
Before
you
saw
the
budget
for
fiscal
year
2021.
E
B
A
Q
E
So
this
this
went
out
to
an
rfp
in
2007
for
our
advertising
at
the
airport
as
a
whole.
At
the
time
it
was
limited
to
indoor
advertising.
We
did
an
amendment
in
either
2009
or
2010
that
opened
it
up
to
any
advertising
opportunities
on
airport
property.
It
was
a
very
it
was
a
broad
statement
because,
as
you
know,
things
in
technology
move
faster
than
we
can
keep
contracts
up
with,
so
we
left
it
broad.
E
E
So
in
2009
or
10
we
changed
the
agreement.
We
started
putting
big
building
wraps
on
the
outside
of
our
garage
facing
the
terminal,
so
you
couldn't
see
it
from
the
87..
So
we
put
wall
wraps
on
the
glass
wall,
down
the
middle
of
the
airport,
roadway
right
that
separates
the
different
lanes
of
traffic.
So
we
really
got
into
outdoor
advertising
after
2010.
E
now
things
have
changed
and
council
policy
6-4
got
approved.
We
utilize
that
broad
statement
of
outdoor
advertising
and
and
proposed
projects
of
new
opportunities
for
clear
channel
to
propose
to
us
a
new
opportunity
that
included
billboards
that
were
compliant
with
6-4
and
billboards
that
were
inside
of
our
advertising
contract
that
we
had.
So,
I
think
councilman
perales's
concern
was
the
vagueness
of
the
statement
I
was
I
was.
I
think
it
was
purposely
done
because
of
the
changing
atmosphere
of
advertising.
I
mean
when
we
signed
that
contract.
E
E
What
is
kind
of
the
the
broad
statement
that
we're
using
to
not
do
an
rfp
and
to
stay
within
our
agreement?
There's
also
a
benefit
to
us.
Indoor
advertising
complements
outdoor
advertising
so
having
it
under
our
master.
Concession
agreement
for
advertising
allows
someone
who's
buying
digital
advertising
space
in
the
terminal
to
also
buy
the
billboard.
At
the
same
time,
right
gets
a
better
saturation
of
their
brand.
It
brings
a
better
revenue
source.
That's
why
we've
always
wanted
to
have
one
person
in
charge
of
advertising
at
the
airport.
E
Q
E
E
If
I
say
oh
yeah,
you
can
go,
have
an
orange.
It's
very,
very
defined,
there's
no
room
for
alternatives,
so
I
now
have
given
my
four-year-old
the
opportunity
to
look
at
everything
on
the
counter
make
up
his
decision
or
her
decision
about
what
they
really
want
and
have
that
as
their
snack.
Instead
of
being
a
very
prescriptive
parent,
who
said,
no,
you
can
only
have
the
orange
slices.
Q
E
The
the
contract
was
extended
throughout
the
period,
and
so
it
still
is
applicable
now
through
the
end
of
the
contract,
which
is
2027.,
I
think,
what's
important
is
to
understand
the
things
that
happened
between
2007
and
now
the
contract
was
signed
in
2007..
Everything
was
great
a
year
and
a
half.
Two
years
later,
we
had
the
recession
of
08
right
where
the
bottom
dropped
out
and
traffic
fell,
and
all
of
our
vendors
were
having
a
hard
time.
E
We
made
an
amendment
in
09
10
to
react
to
that
new
reality
right,
which
was
the
trying
to
come
out
of
the
great
recession
as
they
got
out
of
the
great
recession.
We
added
things
like
outdoor
advertising,
like
on
the
garages
and
on
the
center
wall,
to
help
bring
up
revenue
during
that
recovery
from
oa.
E
Then
we
get
into
covid
things
go
down
again.
Clear
channel
is
strong.
They
have
a
great
program
out
here,
they're
able
to
beat
mag
during
covid,
so
this
thing
has
transitioned
through
a
couple
different
turmoil
periods,
one
went
really
bad.
The
o8
we've
made
some
changes
to
the
program
in
amendment
two
and
amendment
three,
and
now
we
were
able
to
get
through
kobit
better
than
mag.
Because
of
those
amendments
we
had
done
looking
for
new
opportunities,
don't
just
stick
with
what
you
got
be
creative
move
forward.
E
E
E
E
The
so
the
the
areas
that
we're
putting
them
in
we
focused
on
small
pieces
of
land
that
have
no
other
value
to
us.
It's
a
triangle
between
roads
and
parking
lots.
You
know,
I
can't
use
it
for
anything
else,
and
so
because
I
I
only
have
a
thousand
acres,
so
I
want
to
maximize
right
every
piece
of
that
thousand
acres.
E
E
So
I
think
215
trees
that
you've
got
40
trees
out
by
the
airport
that
nobody
enjoys
no
kids
run
under
them,
they're
stuck
between
a
parking
lot
and
a
freeway
right,
so
no
kids
are
enjoying
those
trees.
No
people
are
driving
by
and
saying.
This
is
a
pretty
street,
take
those
43
out
and
take
215
and
spread
them
through
the
neighborhoods,
whose
roadways
have
zero
trees
between
the
sidewalk
and
the
curb
right,
the
little
grass
strip
and
start
building
slowly,
an
urban
forest,
a
canopy,
an
opportunity
to.
Q
Yeah,
I
understand
that
I
I
get
that,
but
when
you
have
mature
trees
versus
215
trees,
hoping
that
they'll
take
root
and
then
we
saw
the
expense
of
of
a
sapling
to
that
will
go
to
fruition
and
the
cost-
and
I
don't
know
if
you
know
clear
channel-
is
going
to
if
we're
we're.
If
those
215
trees
are
going
to
be,
the
cost
of
the
215
trees
are
going
to
be
absolved
as
well
by
the
company.
Q
E
I
I
don't
believe
the
cost
is
to
maintain
the
tree
after
placement.
I
don't
believe
that's
the
situation,
and
these
also,
as
I
mentioned
in
my
presentation,
these
are
15
gallon
trees,
which
are
larger
than
saplings.
It's
a
healthy.
You
know
semi-mature
tree
that
you'd
be
putting
in
so
hopefully
they
would
root
and
already
be.
You
know
a
three
four
inch
size
trunk
right,
not
a
not
a
small
insignificant.
I
understand.
Q
But
200
trees
is
an
additional
cost
to
the
city
which
I'm
I'm
thrilled,
that
we'll
get
them,
but
but
the
additional
cost.
It
will
have
to
be
absolved.
Somehow
and
I'd
like
to
know
what
that
means
in
terms
of
whether
whether
by
taking
them
down
it
increases
the
cost
to
the
city,
which
means
that
someone's
gonna
have
to
pay
for
that.
H
J
Thanks
mayor,
yes,
you
know
staff,
we
can
go
back
and
take
a
look
at
the
tree
mitigation
plan.
That's
been
included
as
part
of
the
addendum
to
the
era,
so
we'll
definitely
take
a
look
at
that,
as
well
as
any
requirements
for
any
additional
trees
that
the
that
clear
channel
is
also
offering
to
plant.
Q
Q
And
well,
the
only
thing
I'm
gonna
add
is.
If
that
can
be
part
of
the
motion,
I
see
where
the
the
votes
are
going
to
go.
So
if
this
motion
goes
forward,
if
that
can
be
part
of
the
motion
that
that
those
fees
or
that
cost
of
the
of
those
215
trees
to
establish
those
trees
can
be
added
to
the
cost
and
be
covered
by
the
company.
E
Q
G
G
Yeah
I
mean
I
I
mean
I'm
open
to
that.
I
just
I'd
like
to
better
understand
what
that
cost
is,
and
you
know
anyway,
more
more
of
those
details,
but
how
about
this
actually
for
now
I'll
be
applying
that
amendment.
Just
simply,
maybe
give
the
staff
a
little
time
to
get
some
more
information
and
then
hopefully,
by
the
end
of
this
conversation,
we
have
a
little
bit
more
info
and
then
we
can
go
back
to
that
to
that
amendment.
If
that's
okay,
councilmember.
Q
G
And
I
just
want
to
make
certain
that
the
the
that
the
cost,
what
that
is
and
curious
in
my
mind,
if
that's
a
deal
killer
or
not
right
from
staff's
perspective
or
even
from
clear
channels
perspective,
and
so
that's
that's
sort
of
where
I
am.
But
thank
you
for
for
the
commentary.
I
think
it's
important.
H
Okay,
so
we'll
table
that
amendment
for
now
and
come
back
to
it
as
we
get
more
information,
though
I
think
I'd
certainly
support
the
amendment
counselor
since
we're
talking
about
amendments
anyway.
I
know
this
issue
had
been
raised
particularly
been
raised
in
the
mercury
and
and-
and
it
was
discussed
this
issue
about
tracking
drivers
and
persons
nearby,
and
I
I
think
we
heard
clear
channels
say
we
don't
do
that
so
could
could
we
include
also
condition
to
be
no
sensors
cameras.
G
H
K
K
K
6-24,
I
think
that's
what
it
was
and
when
that
memo
was
developed,
I
think
it
was
in
the.
I
think
it
was
in
the
body
of
I
forgot
and
I
am
losing
track
of
the
memos
with
so
many
of
them
occurring
over
time.
But
whatever
memo
that
included
in
the
body
of
the
memo
versus
the
actual
recommendation
that
the
airport
be
exempted,
and
then
this
obviously
you
know
there
is
a
broad,
a
bra
broad,
I'm
gonna
call
it
now.
K
The
snack
policy
and
this
broad
policy
allowed
for
some
of
these
new
technologies
to
to
get
folded
in.
But
but
this
is
with
new
technologies
this.
These
are
all
the
questions
that
that
happen
that
go
along
the
community
wonders
about
hey.
Are
they
going
to
track
me?
Hey
this
this?
How
is
this
going
to
look?
Is
it
going
to
be
one
face
two
faces?
K
You
know
all
of
this.
All
of
this
needed
to
be
detailed
out
in
that
conversation
with
with
with
the
policy
makers-
and
I
feel
like
this
is
one
of
the
reasons
why
we
really
shouldn't
have
these
kinds
of
exemptions
in
the
body
of
the
memo,
rather
very
specifically
in
those
recommendations.
So
everybody
knows
exactly
what
we're
discussing
and
what
we're
proving
mind.
K
K
Yeah,
I
I'm
not
gonna
belabor
that
point.
I
I
think
that
we're
moving
in
a
direction
where
we're
seeing
the
benefit
of
taking
down
some
of
these
old
billboards.
I
have
a
portion
of
tully
road
council
member
spars
that
has
the
other
half
of
that
tally
road
in
between
us.
We
have
just
some
significant
visual
blight
and
these
aren't
the
pretty
kind
of
billboards
right.
K
These
aren't
the
the
flat
well
not
flashing,
not
in
the
in
the
light
sense,
but
the
kind
that
that
you
see
in
in
a
major
city.
These
look
like,
like
I,
you
know
what
I'm
not
even
gonna
qualify
them,
because
I
was
gonna
say
something
so
I'd
love
to
see
the
takedown
of
those
so
that
we
can
have
a
nicer
site
for
our
lower
income
communities
and
those
are
the
communities
I'm
glad
I
think,
was
council
member
esparza.
You
included
that
in
this
motion,
and
I'm
really
supportive
of
that.
K
K
H
I
Thank
you.
Thank
you
for
the
presentation,
john
and
for
the
public
comment
and
also
I've
enjoyed.
Listening
to
the
debate
of
my
colleagues,
I
have
some,
I
just
full
disclosure.
I
am
not
a
fan
of
billboards.
I'm
not
sure
that
any
of
us
are
fan
of
billboards.
We
know
they're,
not
that
pretty
they're
ugly,
the
idea,
but
there
it
is.
They
are
a
source
of
advertising
and
that's
what
they're
used
for.
I
don't
believe.
I
I
There
are
three
areas
that
have
been
talked
about,
and
so
I'm
not
gonna
be
labor
them
too
much.
But
I
would
like
to
hear
from
clear
channel
if
that's
possible,
because
it
changes
the
negotiations
with
them
quite
a
bit
and
if
they
say
today
we're
not
going
to
do
that
then
maybe
we
shouldn't
proceed
so
is,
is
I
assume
clear
channels
around
mayor?
Is
it
possible
to
ask
them
a
couple
of
questions.
I
M
I'm
not
sure
just
yet
I
mean
we
could
live
with
12.
One
of
the
things
I
would
ask
the
council
to
consider
is:
we've
dropped,
one
of
the
digital
faces
due
to
the
mitigations
in
the
environmental
report
and
converted
that
to
a
static
board
and
john
hessler,
the
person
that
whose
name
he
he
is
with
david
j
powers,
an
associate
who
is
the
consultant
that
did
the
environmental
report
so.
I
M
The
council
is,
is
you
know,
making
a
lot
of
asks,
additional
mitigations,
which
is
fine
right?
I
don't
know
what
the
additional
costs
are
associated
with
those,
so
I'll
have
to
look
at
it.
Our
intent
is
to
work
with
staff
and
the
work
with
council
and
to
get
this
through.
So
I
just
need
to
be
able
to
evaluate
that,
and
I
don't
you
know,
have
information
at
my
fingertips
for
some
of
the
things
that
council
is
asking
for.
It
would
be
our
intention
to
work
this
through
is
what
I
was.
M
I
I
That
says
we
want
to
see
12
signs
or
16
faces
down,
plus
the
trees
that
you
come
back
to
us
in
two
months
or
three
months
and
say
we
can't
do
that.
We
want
to
renegotiate
and
I
don't
frankly,
I
don't
want
to
rebus
revisit
billboards
in
three
months.
I
want
to
be
or
six
months.
I
want
to
be
done
with
billboards
today,
so
I
appreciate
your
honesty
and
not
being
able
to
determine
whether
that's
something
you
can
say
yes
to
or
not,
but
that's
why
I
wanted
to
ask
you
the
question:
yeah.
M
It's
our
intention
to
say:
yes,
our
intention
is
to
say
yes,
but
I'm
you
know
there
were
also
additional
things
which
we
talked
about
in
terms
of
social
equity,
in
terms
of
where
the
signs
are
going
to
come
out
in
different
districts.
That
is
our
intention
to
say
yes
to
that
and
as
the
mayor
noted,
if
we
take
out
12
signs,
some
of
those
signs
may
have
one
face.
Some
of
them
may
have
more.
I
just
don't
have
that
information.
It
is
our
intention
to
not
come
back
and
revisit
this.
M
This
has
been
a
long,
arduous
road.
I
agree
with
you
100,
so
I'm
I'm
just
asking
you
as
you're
going
through
these
various
mitigations
and
different
things.
Consider
that-
and
I
would
just
the
one
thing
I
would
as
as
we
go
through
it
too,
is
the
55
revenue
share
that
the
director
gave
a
lot
of
attention
to.
That
means.
M
I
M
Yes,
I
I
can
go
to
the
I
can
go
to
the
five
to
one
ratio
on
the
trees.
I
just
again,
I
I
don't
know,
there's
some
unknowns
in
terms
of
what
one
of
the
council
members
brought
up
relative
to
the
you
know,
maintaining
them
and
all
that
things
for
several
years
or
however
long
I
don't
have
that
information
in
front
of
me.
I
I
E
E
I
can
ask
john
hessler
he's
the
environmental
person
who
did
this
and
he
also
had
an
answer
for
councilmember
carrasco's
maintenance
plan,
which
he
advised
me
that
developers
are
required
to
pay
for
a
multi-year
plant
establishment
period.
They
don't
just
buy
the
tree.
They
also
do
that,
but
perhaps
either
john
or
I
think
david
is
also
with
david.
J
powers
could
maybe
answer
the
tree
diameter
size.
A
E
A
E
I
E
I
believe
that's
correct,
I
believe
it's
eight
seconds,
but
it
doesn't.
The
signs
do
not
flash,
but
the
sign
will
go
from
one
image
to
the
next
image,
but
not
a
constant
flashing.
That's
the
part
that
you
know
distracts
drivers
and,
and
is
the
item
that
affects
epilepsy
residents-
would
have
an
issue
with
a
flashing
side,
but
changing
from
one
to
the
other,
apparently
doesn't
have
that
same
effect
and
it's,
I
believe
it's
every
eight
seconds.
I
Okay
and
and
since
you
raised
the
epilepsy
issue,
that
actually
was
an
issue
of
a
very
much
concern
to
me.
I
have
family
members
who
have
epilepsy
and
who've
had
have
had
a
severe
car
accidents,
but
not
related
to
a
flashing
sign,
although
well.
Her
accident
wasn't
related
to
a
sign,
but
she
is
affected
by
flashing
signs.
So
I
was
very
concerned
about
that,
but
I
have
since
removed
my
objections
based
on
further
research
that
I
have
so
I'm
I
all
my
questions
have
been
answered.
I
R
The
cost
in
terms
of
we
look
at
a
cost
in
terms
of
three
year
maintenance
cycles
as
we
set
up
the
budgeting,
and
so
I
would
ask
so
that
this
doesn't
come
out
of
the
city's
general
fund.
As
we
initiate
this
agreement.
It
gives
us
a
little
bit
of
runway
and
we
have
the
urban
forestry
the
plan
that
we're
working
on
that
we
just
approved
and
and
we're
executing
that
plan.
R
And
so
I
I
think
it
would
be
unrealistic
for
us
to
vote
for
the
tree
takedown
and
not
address
the
maintenance
issue.
And
so
I
wanted
to
thanks
to
the
clarity
that
council
member
foley
brought
out.
I
wanted
to
see
if
councilmember
jimenez
would
be
willing
to
entertain,
amen,
an
amendment
to
that
where
the
negotiation
includes
not
just
the
trees
but
a
one
three-year
cycle,
which
is
the
normal
term
and
how
the
city
negotiates
all
of
this.
A
three
year
cycle
for
the
maintenance
of
the
new
trees.
G
Yes,
I'll
give
you
an
answer.
Can
I
just
ask
a
question
to
to
john
with
the
airport
john,
you
know
with
regard
to
like
where
this
money
comes
from
for
the
maintenance
and
stuff
I
mean
you
know.
We
know
that
the
that
the
airport's
an
enterprise
fund-
that's
self-sustaining
right,
and
so
it
do.
We
need
to
distinguish
whether
we
want
the
airport
to
pay
for
this
or
if
this
is
coming
out
of
a
little.
E
E
A
B
E
R
B
Yeah,
just
just
a
couple
quick
questions
I
had
been,
they
need
to
come
back
to
trees
also,
so
I
appreciate
everyone
else
talking
about
it,
but
I
did
hear
john
just
a
quick
question
for
you,
john.
I
heard
you
say
in
your
presentation
that
there'd
be
semi-mature
trees.
That
would
be
replacing
mature
trees.
Was
that
something
you
said
about.
E
Well,
yeah
they're,
the
trees
that
are
take
that
are
coming
down.
There's
a
chart
in
the
environmental
process
about
a
tree
between
6
and
12
inches
is
replaced
with
a
15
gallon
tree.
So
in
my
head,
I'm
thinking
of
that
orange
5
gallon
bucket
from
home
depot
right.
It's
going
to
be
three
times
the
size
of
that
for
the
root
ball.
E
So
if
the
root
ball
is
three
times
the
size
of
that
five
gallon
bucket
to
me,
it
would
be
a
tree,
that's
probably
in
the
four
inch
range
for
the
you
know
for
the
trunk,
so
not
mature,
not
the
same
level
of
maturity,
but
I
didn't
want
you
to
think
it's
a
sapling.
It's
not
going
to
be
this.
You
know
three-quarter
inch
diameter
tree
that
we're
going
to
have
to
wait
40
years
to
grow
up
and
be
a
canopy.
E
B
Okay,
thank
you
just
one
last
question.
I
don't
know
who
this
is
for
maybe
jennifer
or
somebody
in
your
office.
But
what
is
the
mechanism
by
which
the
city
enforces
ensures
compliance
when
developers
and
others
have
this
kind
of
requirement,
because
I've
never
been
clear
on
how
we
know
for
sure
that,
after
we
move
forward
with
this,
that
the
trees
actually
get
planted
and
we
actually
keep
track
of
that.
B
H
Q
Thank
you
real
quick.
I
promise
so
considering
the
audit
that's
coming
up,
but,
more
importantly,
the
commitments
I
don't
know
if
clear
channel
is
in
any
position
today
to
agree
to
all
of
the
amendments
that
we're
making
in
all
of
the
the
items
that
we're
adding
we'll
will
will
we
have
a
report
back
or
a
status
update
in
terms
of
the
agreement
that
clear
channel
will
agree
to
john
will
you
be
able
to
report
back
to
council.
E
E
H
H
Is
that,
okay,
with
the
secretary
vice
mayor,
yes,
okay
and
then
just
for
clarity?
John
just
so
we
all
understand
what
we're
voting
on,
because
there's
been
some
confusion
if
we're
saying
12
signs
16
faces.
That
means,
as
I
understand
at
least
four
of
those
12
signs
have
to
be
two-sided
or
some
combination
of
that
is
that.
E
H
H
H
Q
G
Q
G
Yeah
and
then
and
then
actually
well
there
was
we
were.
We
were
more
specific.
I
think
the
80
income
threshold
that
the
mayor
had
mentioned
and
then
I
think
council,
member
esparza,
there's
been
a
lot
of
things
that
have
been
added
to
this.
So
so
refresh
my
recollection
council
member,
as
far
as,
but
you
also
asked
about
adding
in
particulars.
H
G
G
H
G
E
Yeah
as
long
as
clear
channel
can
go
through
and
do
their
inventory
of
signs
and
figure
out
that
that
they
can
meet
the
numbers,
I
can
get
the
info
memo
out
as
quickly
as
they
get
a
decision
to
me
but
understand
there'll
be
no
construction,
no
grading
permits.
Until
I
get
back
to
you
that
says
yeah
they're
good.
So.
G
I
think
it'd
be
good
to
to
conduct
some
analysis
and
some
community
sort
of
input
process
in
which
we
can
get
figure
out
exactly
in
the
policy
that,
in
in
occasions
in
which
signs
are
going
up
and
trees
are
coming
down,
that
we
identify
in
a
more
prescriptive
way
where
those
are
coming
where
those
trees
are
going
to
be
planted
within
the
policy.
I'm
not
I'm
not
sure
if
it's
worth
doing,
but
it
seems
to
make
sense
to
me
since
we're
gonna
be
looking
at
the
policy
just
wanted
to
share
that.
H
Okay,
all
right,
I
think,
we've
exhausted
the
issue
for
now.
So
thank
you,
everyone
for
your
good
questions,
and
let
me
also
thank
bob
and
the
clear
channel
team
for
working
with
the
airport
and
I
think,
presenting
us
with
an
opportunity
here
but
to
sustain
our
airport
and
hopefully
improve
the
city
and
many
corners
of
our
city,
where
it
would
be
nice
to
remove
some
billboards
and
plant
some
trees.
D
F
B
O
H
H
All
right,
thank
you.
Okay,
let's,
let's
see
here
we're
now
at
5
45.,
I'm
gonna
suggest
we
take
our
break
now
and
return
at
6
30..
I
know
we've
got
three
items
left,
so
we
will
probably
need
to.
I
think,
we're
going
to
reduce
public
comment
to
one
minute,
so
we
can
make
sure
we
get
to
these
three
substantial
items.
So
let's
come
back
at
6,
30
and
we'll
resume.
Thank
you.
Everybody.
