Thank
you,
and
I
hope
now
is
the
time
to
send
councilmember
carrasco.
Your
get
well
thoughts,
unfortunately
she's
ill
today
and
she
sends
her
regrets.
She
really
didn't
want
to
miss
this,
but
she
was
pretty
sick,
so
so,
as
we
continue
to
address
some
of
the
most
pressing
issues
of
the
city
and
engage
in
meaningful
dialogue.
H
Corina
and
gerardo
stand
as
pillars
in
our
community
and
have
have
been
and
are
a
guiding
light.
We
are
fortunate
that
much
of
the
work
that
they
have
dedicated
their
lives
to
has
been
centered
in
the
east
side,
and
especially
during
these
past
years
of
our
crisis.
Corrina
and
gerardo
have
served
with
dignity
and
grace
and
by
the
way,
we'd
like
to
congratulate
them
on
their
union.
As
they
recently
celebrated
their
anniversary
and
councilmember
carrasco,
and
all
of
us
give
you
our
love.
D
I'm
really
glad
to
be
here
today
and
thank
you
for
for
those
beautiful
words
and
really
grateful
to
council
member
carrasco's
office
for
inviting
us
here
today,
mayor
and
council
members.
Thank
you
for
having
us
in
this
space.
This
is
our
second
time
coming
here
on
behalf
of
council
member
carrasco's
office
and
and
really
grateful
to
be
here
as
a
representative
family
of
our
urban
indigenous
community.
D
The
institutions
that
we
work
for
are
furthering
the
work
that
we
stand
for
in
this
life
really
grateful
to
be
here
beside
my
wife
and
at
this
time,
she's
going
to
lead
us
through
this
ritual
ritual,
a
ceremony
that
we
utilize
in
our
mashika
dance
community.
It's
a
ritual
of
inclusion.
It's
a
reminder
that
we
are
all
the
sum
of
all
of
our
relations,
all
things
that
exist
in
this
world
from
the
living
and
breathing
to
those
things
that
are
inanimate
objects.
We
are
all
related.
D
So
at
this
time
I
know
you
all
are
seated
and
council
members
are
seated
and
so
we're
going
to
do
this
gesture.
While
we
might
normally
do
this
in
community
asking
our
relatives
to
stand
and
follow
us
through
these
motions,
we're
going
to
do
this
on
behalf
of
each
and
every
one
of
you
and
all
of
those
that
we
represent
at
this
time.
My
wife's
going
to
take
care
of
this.
The
spiritual
aspect
of
this
here
ritual
for
us.
D
Turning
now
to
a
southern
direction,
a
reminder
for
us
of
the
children
that
we
do
this
work
for
not
only
the
child
spirit,
that's
it
within
each
and
one
of
us
that
that
child
spirit
be
nourished,
but
that
the
work
we
do
be
impactful
for
generations
to
come
this
time,
she's.
Turning
back
towards
the
center.
D
She's,
going
to
turn
again
and
in
our
ways
there's
this
reminder
in
this
seventh
direction,
as
we
acknowledge
all
of
those
things
all
of
the
our
constituents
that
we
represent
in
those
directions.
The
essence
of
those
directions,
but
also
built
into
this
ritual
here,
is
a
reminder
that
we
also
get
to
take
care
of
ourselves,
and
so
thinking
about
that
wellness
healing
impactful,
intentional
life
that
we
want
to
live,
making
a
difference
in
this
world
each
and
every
day.
D
So
at
this
time
you
know
thinking
about
all
of
us
here,
the
health
of
our
community,
the
health
of
us
individually
and
collectively
thinking
about
the
health
of
our
members.
That
might
not
be
able
to
be
here
with
us
at
this
time,
like
like
council
member
carrasco,
I'm
gonna
take
a
moment
and
think
a
little
bit
about
why
it
is
that
we're
here
why
it
is
that
we
fill
these
seats.
What
what
brings
us
to
this
space
today?
What
is
it
that
we
stand
for?
D
What
is
it
that
we
hope
to
see
and
ask
you
all
to
just
resonate
with
that
thought
and
that
intention
in
your
mind,
while
we
offer
a
ceremonial
song
and
it's
important
for
us
to
do
this
piece,
it
means
that
much
to
us
and
our
family
in
particular,
and
for
our
urban
indigenous
community.
It
wasn't
until
1978
that
the
american
indian
freedom
of
religion
act
was
passed,
ensuring
our
ability
to
access
ceremonial
sites
and
giving
us
the
right
to
practice
our
ceremonial
ways
in
a
public
way.
D
Before
1978
we
were
persecuted,
we
were
put
into
jails
and
and
oftentimes
even
put
to
death
because
of
the
our
practice
of
these
ways,
and
so
for
us,
it's
important
to
demonstrate
these
things
in
public
spaces.
So
you
all
think,
along
with
us
what
it
means
to
have
policies
like
those
things
in
place
and
why
it
is
that
we're
here
today
and
what
it
is
that
we
that
we
stand
for
moving
forward.
D
A
E
Thank
you
very
much
all
right.
We
now
have
several
ceremonial
items
I'm
going
to
need
to
step
out
for
a
call
with
members
of
the
legislature
legislative
leadership.
So
I'm
going
to
ask
vice
mayor
jones
to
to
call
the
item
next
item,
which
I
believe
councilmember
spars
will
be
presenting
on
behalf
of
councilmember
crossco,
to
recognize
and
proclaim
melanoma
awareness
month.
E
H
Hello-
everyone
hey!
I
just
want
to
say
that
this
is
a
topic
very
near
and
dear
to
council
member
carrasco's
heart.
I
know
that
if
she
could,
she
would
be
here
today
and
so
melanoma
awareness
this
month.
Every
may
we
recognize
this
month
as
national
skin
cancer
and
melanoma
awareness
month
to
share
our
stories
and
promote
prevention
of
the
most
prevalent
and
dangerous
type
of
skin
cancer.
H
So
some
of
you
may
remember
the
story
of
councilmember
carrasco's,
mother,
maria
carrasco,
a
lifelong
delmonte,
cannery
worker.
She
departed
this
earth
in
2018,
surrounded
by
family
after
a
long,
13-year
battle
with
skin
cancer
and
according
to
councilmember
carrasco,
that
time
was
marked
by
painful
radiation
and
eventually
a
nose
amputation.
H
So
if
councilmember
carrasco
ever
comes
at
you
with
the
bottle
of
sunscreen,
as
I
know
she
has
with
me
and
all
of
us
just
know
it's
out
of
love
and
for
those
who
may
be
unaware.
Melanoma
is
a
type
of
skin
cancer
that
results
in
new
or
changing
moles
on
the
skin
and
is
the
deadliest
type
of
skin
cancer.
It's
developed
by
constant
and
or
harsh
sun
and
uv
exposure,
often
affecting
lighter
skinned
people
at
higher
rates
than
those
with
darker
skin.
H
H
H
H
H
They
are
a
center
of
excellence
when
it
comes
to
the
diagnosis
and
treatment
of
skin
cancer
and
other
skin
related
diseases.
Providing
medicare
approved,
outpatient
surgery,
centers
in
san
jose
los
gatos
and
mountain
view,
in
addition
to
providing
the
best
in
class
care
to
their
skin
cancer
patients,
they
often
partner
with
the
skin
cancer
foundation
and
other
organizations
to
spread
awareness
of
skin
cancer
through
social
media
campaigns
and
through
their
doctors,
who
selflessly
volunteer
their
time
doing
free
skin
cancer
screenings
in
the
community.
So
thank
you
for
your
incredible
work
and
olga.
F
Thank
you
so
much
council
member
esparza
and
I'm
thankful
to
council
member
carrasco
who
got
in
touch
with
us
last
week.
Thank
you
to
the
city
council
and
the
mayor,
I'm
honored,
to
accept
this
award
today
on
behalf
of
all
california
school
institute,
doctors,
advanced
practitioners
and
all
clinical
administrative
staff
that
take
care
of
our
skin
cancer
patients
day
in
and
day
out.
California's
can
answer
just
very
quickly
about
us.
F
We
have
a
state
state
of
the
art
full
service
dermatopathology
department,
led
by
our
internationally
known
board,
certified
dermatopathologist,
offering
advanced
diagnostic
techniques.
Although
we
provide
a
wide
range
of
medical,
dermatology
and
aesthetic
services,
our
core
focus
remains
to
be
medical,
dermatology,
specifically
focus
on
skin
cancer,
diagnosis
and
treatment.
F
The
good
news
is
that
skin
cancer
is
highly
treatable
when
caught
early,
and
we
do
run
awareness
campaigns
by
partnering
with
skin
cancer
organizations
and
other
companies
to
raise
awareness
of
this
disease.
We've
just
had
a
webinar,
in
fact
today,
at
noon
on
skin
cancer
prevention,
and
it
is
available
on
on
california
skins,
youtube
channel.
Our
doctors
volunteer
in
california
communities
to
provide
free
skin
cancer
screenings.
Just
one
such
initiative
has
taken
place
this
saturday
at
mills,
peninsula,
hospital's
dorothy
schneider
cancer
center.
I
want
to
share
some
statistics
with
you.
F
Last
year
in
2021,
csi
california
skins
found
38
000
cancers
and
13
000
people
of
those
over
8
000
cancers.
2400
people
were
in
santa
clara
county.
A
county
obviously
contains
san
jose.
Since
2012
our
doctors
identified
over
111
000
cancers
in
santa
clara,
with
13
000
treated
just
this
year
alone.
In
2022,
we
have
identified
over
3
000
cases
already
and
have
treated
one
1
100
patients
throughout
the
pandemic.
F
California,
skin
institute
locations
remained
open
and
played
a
critical
role
in
providing
our
patients
throughout
california
with
expectation
services,
as
they
manage
the
impact
of
covert
19..
To
summarize
again,
thank
you
so
much
for
this
proclamation
obviously
is
very
important
to
us.
That's
that's
kind
of
what
we
do
so
I
appreciate
it.
I
appreciate
vice
mayor
and
remember
to
get
your
skin
skin
checks,
often
especially
if
you're
genetically
or
environmentally
predisposed.
A
I
This
is
not
my
words.
This
is
actually
the
name
of
the
program
which
I
thought
was
really
sassy
it
does
is
the
acronym
is
glow
that
specifically
targets
lgbtq
plus
clients.
I
would
like
to
recognize
the
glbtq
plus
asian
pacific
alliance
asian
american
for
community
involvement,
paravar
bay
area,
silicon
pride,
south
bay,
queer
and
asians.
Thank
you
for
your
commitment
and
dedication
to
the
qtapi
community.
I
A
Villaverde,
director
of
advocacy
at
aki-
and
we
are
part
of
a
coalition
of
organizations
and
community
members
planning
events
and
commemorations
across
the
bay
area,
in
los
angeles
and
in
san
diego
queer
trans
api
week,
began
in
2020
in
san
francisco
and
is
held
during
the
week
that
straddles
api
heritage
month
in
may
and
pride
month
in
june.
This
movement
began
as
a
way
of
building
community
and
celebrating
unique
histories
and
cultural
health
heritage
of
queer
and
trans
api
communities.
A
As
the
council
member
also
mentioned
aki
is
but
one
of
a
number
of
organizations
planning
events
around
this
week,
which
includes
silicon
valley,
pride,
gapa,
the
glbtq
plus
asian
pacific
alliance,
part
of
our
bay
area
and
the
vietnamese
american
round
table,
and
we
would
be
remiss
if
we
didn't
recognize
the
amazing
work
that
they
do.
We're
so
grateful
to
the
city
council
and
to
the
city
of
san
jose
for
their
willingness
to
work
with
us
on
this
proclamation
and
in
recognizing
queer
trans
api
week
for
the
first
time
in
san
jose.
Thank
you.
E
All
right,
we
have
several
members
of
our
fierce
public
works
team
here,
and
I
want
to
ask
if
they
would
be
kind
enough
to
join
us
here
with
our
fearless
leader,
matt
cano,
because
we
are
celebrating
public
works
week,
not
just
in
the
city
of
san
jose,
but
I
think
nationally.
The
american
public
works
association
celebrating
the
62nd.
E
E
So
this
is
the
62nd
annual
national
public
works
week
and
we've
also
got.
We've
got
many
members,
of
course,
of
our
team,
but
it
is
a
much
larger
team
because
they
do
so
much
in
our
city,
and
I'm
reminded
about
just
how
important
public
works
is
by
the
story
of
how
we've
they
first
discovered
how
to
stop
a
pandemic
in
england.
E
E
The
community
building
work
that
this
and
other
members
of
the
team
engage
in
include
our
roads,
our
bridges,
sanitary
and
stores,
storm
systems,
street
lights,
traffic
signals
as
well
as
community
facilities
like
parks,
fire
stations,
libraries,
community,
centers
service
yards
and,
yes,
city
hall.
They
also
drive
the
maintenance
of
these
many.
E
I
should
tell
you
at
our
budget
hearings,
so
believe
me.
We
get
it
so,
just
a
few
highlights
from
last
year
alone,
what
public
works
has
accomplished
during
the
pandemic
staff
continued
to
repair
and
enhance
electrical
services
at
the
police
administration,
building
in
happy
hollow
park
and
zoo,
managed
installation
security
system
at
branch
library,
sites
delivering
power
services
at
multiple
office.
Cultural
affairs.
B
E
The
dozens
of
events
we've
had
as
part
of
our
efforts
to
engage
the
community
more
outdoors
public
works,
completed
31,
cip,
that's
our
big
construction
investment
program,
except
that's
not
what
cip
stands
for
anyway.
I'll
get
back
to
you
on
that
valued
over
59
million
dollars
with
91
delivered
on
time.
It's
fantastic,
responding
to
79,
000,
underground
service
alert,
marketing
requests
to
protect
utilities
in
2021.
A
Thank
you,
mayor
ricardo.
I
really
appreciate
the
kind
words
thank
you
and
before
I
start,
I
just
want
to
quickly
thank
john
risto
carrie,
romano
from
esd.
There
are
two
other
directors
in
the
city
of
san
jose
city,
san
jose,
who
actually
serve
as
public
works
directors
as
well
on
certain
projects
and
then,
additionally,
all
the
other
partners
in
the
city
of
san
jose
all
the
other
departments
from
finance
to
hr
to
the
city,
manager's
office
and
all
of
our
partners
departments.
A
We
can't
do
we
can't
do
it
without
you,
I'm
just
I've
been
in
awe
the
past
four
years
since
I've
been
the
public
works
director,
the
the
amount
and
the
variety
the
amount
of
hard
work
dedication
and
the
variety
of
the
work
that
we
do
in
our
department
is
just.
I
learn
a
million
new
things
every
day
and
my
goal
every
day
is
to
continue
to
support
the
team,
because
they
do
amazing
work
and
they're
really
dedicated
to
public
service
and
the
change.
A
The
change
that
they
create
in
the
community
is
is
beyond
measure
and
and
overwhelms
me
at
times,
because
I'm
so
appreciative
of
the
work
they
do
so
I
just
want
to
thank
you
all
and
everybody
you're
representing
today
for
all
the
work
that
you
do,
and
I
really
appreciate
the
mayor
and
city
council
for
this
recognition
on
national
public
works
week.
Thank
you.
E
I
L
I
E
A
You
matt
koenig,
director
of
public
works.
It
I
think,
would
depend
on
how
long
the
deferral
is.
I
don't
know
I
apologize.
I
didn't
hear.
Okay,
two
two
items
we
have
one
is
there
is
a
recommendation
in
the
report
to
appropriate
250
000
to
upgrade
do
some
immediate
upgrades
to
the
existing
police
gun
range
and
one
week,
deferral
isn't
going
to
wonder
a
couple
weeks.
Deferral
isn't
going
to
impact
that
significantly,
but
that's
something
we'd
want
to
move
forward
with
quickly
and
then
also
our
citizens
oversight.
A
E
A
E
A
H
A
Gun
range
right,
that's,
yes,
the
current
gun
range
needs
some
quick
upgrades,
and
so
we
wouldn't
we
wouldn't
want.
If
there
was
a
significant
delay
on
this
current
measure,
t
report,
we
would
want
to
seek
a
different
way
to
get
that
money
authorized.
Okay,
I
would.
I
would
echo
that
the
police
department
has
just
initiated
the
next
round
of
qualifications.
The
required
call
qualifications
for
every
six
months,
and
I
happen
to
go
on
day.
A
M
A
E
E
If,
if
this
item
around
the
250
000
expenditure
needs
to
be
prioritized,
if
staff
would
consider
just
taking
it
separately
to
council,
we
can
approve
it
and
then
enable
us
to
be
able
to
defer
this
to
at
least
have
enough
time
to
take
in
more
information
about
how
much
money
we've
got.
I
think
that
might
be
helpful
for
the
council.
I
H
E
E
I
E
E
E
N
Hi
blair
beekman
here,
thank
you
that
you
caught
yourself
mayor
and
realized
that
there
is
need
for
public
comment
at
times
like
this.
I
think
these
sort
of
items
need
to
be
have
a
bit
more
consistency,
so
it's
obvious
to
ourselves
and
clear
that
there
should
be
public
comment
at
times
like
this.
Thank
you
for
allowing
public
comment
to
simply
offer
with
this
sort
of
item.
B
E
B
E
E
E
O
E
E
E
Okay
on
the
consent
calendar,
let's
pull
items
that
the
council
would
like
to
pull.
I've
gotten
noticed
that
councilman
cohen
would
like
to
poll
item
2.7,
which
is
the
settlement
of
santa
clara,
unified
school
district
versus
city
of
san
jose
and
councilman
mayhem
like
to
pull
2.12
for
actions
related
to
the
purchase
order
for
citywide
graphic
design
services.
E
I'd
like
to
ask
if
there
are
other
items
that
my
colleagues
would
like
to
pull
from
the
consent
calendar,
I'm
not
seeing
any
notifications.
So,
let's
start
with
item
2.7
settlement
with
santa
clara
unified,
and
I
want
to
thank
councilman,
cohen
and
stacy
and
his
team
for
their
hard
work
and
getting
us
to
an
agreement.
F
J
J
E
Wait
till
we
get
to
the
next
item
yeah
and
we're
also
going
to
pull
2.17
separately
to
vote
separately
on
that
item.
I'll
explain
why
in
a
moment,
okay-
and
I
should
also
note
that
you
know
customer
cohen,
mentioned
creativity
and
and
positive
solution
that
this
is
going
to
help
us
get
a
park
bill
which
is
really
important
to
school
and
to
the
community.
So
that's
a
great
thing:
let's,
let's
hear
any
public
comment
on
item
2.7.
E
L
Mayor
and
I
just
have
a
quick
commenting
question
for
staff-
I
you
know
first
I'll
just
say:
I'm
really
glad
to
see
that
we
are
investing
in
design
capacity
for
the
city.
Obviously,
public
communication
is
so
core
to
what
we
do
as
a
city
government
and
our
residents
are
increasingly
using
communication
media
that
are
heavily
visual
social
media
in
particular.
So
I'm
really
glad
that
we're
making
this
investment.
L
The
question
I
have
is
you
know,
in
my
experience,
managing
outsourced
design
resources
is
incredibly
labor
intensive,
and
I
see
here
that
we're
looking
at
a
number
of
different
potential
contractors
and
a
potential
annual
cost
of
1.2
million
dollars,
and
I'm
I'm
curious
how
much
we
have.
I
think
this
question
is
probably
probably
for
carolina.
P
An
excellent
question:
I
want
to
start
by
noting
that
currently
we
use
our
graphic
design
services
intermittently,
so
it's
not
a
24-hour
operation
in
all
of
the
departments
and
you
all
have
the
ability
to
use
any
of
the
graphic
designers
that
we
have
as
vendors.
I
think
it's
a
great
question
and
it's
something
that
we
can
look
at
and
we
can
provide
a
cost
analysis,
maybe
in
an
info
memo.
L
Sure,
okay,
that
would
be
great-
I
just
feel
my
sense
is
based
on
what
I
what
I've
heard
from
you
in
the
past
and
seen
here.
Our
needs
in
this
area
are
only
growing
and
at
some
point,
managing
a
bunch
of
different
external
consultants
may
actually
be
costing.
We
may
get
less
for
more
than
if
we,
if
you
actually
were
able
to
hire
those
resources
in-house.
So
I'd
love
to
see
an
analysis
of
that
at
some
point,
great.
N
Hi
claire
b,
queen
here
to
speak
on
consent
calendar.
I
think
the
majority
of
consent
calendar
items
at
this
time.
I
wanted
to
speak
on
items
2.13
through
2.16,
basically
2.13
to
2.15
to
me
are
items
that
speak
to
budgeting
issues
and
the
ideas
of
you
know
what
we
talked
about
yesterday.
That
I
thought
was
really
interesting
that
for
some
reason
my
my
zoom
got
really
cut
off,
and
I'm
really
sorry
about
that.
Last
at
noon
time.
N
Yesterday,
I
was
trying
to
say
that
yesterday's
budget
meeting
on
these
sorts
of
items-
2.13
2.14
and
2.15
council
person,
uranus
and
esparza-
spoke
really
nicely
about
ideas
of.
We
have
to
talk
about
the
concepts
of
racial
equity
in
the
in
the
future
of
our
budgeting
questions
and
council
person.
As
far
as
nicely
mentioned,
you
know
if
we
have
a
core
set
of
services
that
we
all
negotiate
around
and
understand
what
can
be
good
racial
equity
ideas
as
a
whole
community
process.
N
That's
that's
an
important
goal
that
I
think
can
consistently
through
our
years
really
be
of
help
to
ourselves,
and
it
is
through
things
like
these
playground,
projects
and
understanding
the
racial
equity
ideas
involved,
and
it's
coming
to
a
common
agreement
about
that.
I
really
wish
yourselves
good
luck
on
and
and
just
thank
you
for
those
sort
of
words
that
were
said
yesterday,
that
made
things
very
clear
for
myself
how
to
view
this,
the
future
of
equity
and
what
we
can
be
working
towards
and
how
to
view
ourselves
for
our
future.
Thank
you.
E
O
H
H
No,
I
mean
he
pulled
it,
so
I
just
I'm
gonna
comment
on
north
san
jose
and
I
just
wanted
to
say
thank
you
mayor.
I
know
you've
been
super
engaged,
it's
an
understatement
on
this,
and
I
wanted
to
also
thank
councilmember
cohen
for
his
leadership
on
north
san
jose,
which
is
so
strategic
to
our
city,
so
I
just
wanted.
I
just
wanted
to
acknowledge,
acknowledge
that.
Thank
you.
A
Yeah,
thank
you.
I
had
a
question
actually
and
you
could
give
a
head
nod
carolina
on
the
graphic
design
services.
You
said
that
the
council
offices
can
tap
into
that.
Do
we
have
to
cover
that
or
that's
covered
in
the
money
that
we've
already
okay
great?
So
we
can.
We
can
tap
it
in
that
resource
and
that's
covered
under
that
that
purchase
order.
Okay
and
I'll
just
say,
I
I
think
former
council
member
pierre
luigi
alvario
is
always
remaining
a
good
steward
of
our
financial
orders
and
rfps.
A
P
E
E
H
E
A
E
Okay,
so
I'm
going
to
public
comment,
10.2
a
and
then
a
vote
followed
by
public
comment
on
the
remainder
10.2
in
the
second
vote.
So
that's
by
the
request
of
the
city
of
santa
clara,
we're
happy
to
do
that.
This
is
10.2,
of
course,
the
north
san
jose
strategy
settlement
agreement
with
c
santa
clara
and
amendment
to
the
general
plan,
north
san
jose
area,
development
policy,
amendment
to
tile,
20
and
other
provisions.
We
do
have
a
presentation
for.
Q
Q
Just
to
start
us
off.
We
talk
about
north
san
jose,
not
necessarily
in
the
strictest
geographical
sense.
What
we're
actually
talking
about
is
the
area
development
policy
area
which
closely
aligns
with
the
former
redevelopment
area
throughout
north
san
jose.
It's
generally
that
area
between
the
highway,
237,
101
and
880.
With
a
couple
of
little
bump
outs
on
either
side.
Q
Okay,
so
our
goal
in
north
san
jose
it's
an
important
part
of
a
number
of
different
goals
in
both
the
previous
general
plan
and
our
current
general
plan.
North
san
jose
remains
an
economic
driver
not
just
for
the
city
but
for
the
entire
region
and,
as
a
result,
we've
had
a
comprehensive
planning
effort
throughout
this
area.
Q
So,
to
give
just
some
brief
background-
and
I
know
we've
talked
about
this
a
number
of
times,
so
I
will
be
brief.
With
this.
The
city
adopted
a
policy
for
north
san
jose
that
that
sat
over
the
top
of
an
old
existing
land
use
policy
back
in
2005,
which
is
the
san
jose
north
san
jose
area,
development
policy
or
the
adp,
and
the
intent
was
following.
Q
The
dot
com
crash
was
to
plan
for
future
growth
through
in
the
area
and
plan
for
the
transportation
improvements
that
were
needed
to
mitigate
and
offset
impacts
related
to
that
growth.
The
plan
included
about
26.7
million
square
feet
of
office,
r
d
development
and
32
000
residential
units
about
2.7
million
square
feet
of
retail
development,
both
neighborhood
serving
and
large
format
and
a
thousand
hotel
rooms,
and
to
offset
that
impact
or
the
impacts
related
to
transportation.
Q
In
addition
to
ensure
that
we
saw
growth
in
a
balanced
way
throughout
north
san
jose,
all
of
the
development
was
split
into
four
phases:
roughly
sort
of
evenly
split
across
four
phases.
While
the
plan
went
into
effect
in
2005,
development,
didn't
actually
start
occurring,
or
entitlement
didn't
start
occurring
until
late
2006
early
2007,
and
at
that
point
we
saw
an
explosive
amount
of
growth
opportunity
through
entitlement
on
both
the
office
and
residential
market.
Q
Now,
obviously
2008
we
saw
the
great
recession
and,
following
that,
what
came
back
was
essentially
the
residential
development.
So
we
saw
all
8
000
units
in
phase
one
develop
roughly
by
till
about
by
about
2014,
but
during
that
same
period
we
only
saw
about
three
million
square
feet
of
industrial
development,
and
so,
as
a
result,
we've
been
behind
the
the
phasing
allotment
in
north
san
jose
and
unable
to
move
forward.
Q
So
starting
back
in
probably
around
2013
2014
city
council
has
been
giving
staff
direction
to
look
at
north
san
jose
as
an
opportunity
to
facilitate
new,
primarily
residential
growth
in
in
the
city,
but
also
new
employment
growth.
The
staff
has
looked
at
a
number
of
different
paths
of
doing
this,
but
the
approach
really
crystallized
through
the
adoption
of
the
housing
crisis
work
plan
in
2018
and
north
san
jose
represents
about
24
000
units,
and
so
it's
an
important
part
of
providing
new
housing
throughout
the
city.
Q
In
addition,
the
context
on
how
we
do
secret
clearance
and
secret
analysis
for
transportation
improvements
changed
in
2019
when
the
state
adopted
sb
743,
which
was
the
change
to
vehicle
miles,
travel
and
the
additional
sort
of
contextual
pieces
that
have
changed
around
this,
which
are
really
facilitating
our
need
to
make
amendments.
At
this
time.
Q
So,
just
to
provide
some
clarity
on
exactly
what
we're
we're
doing
today,
the
actions
before
you.
There
are
a
number
of
different
actions
and
we
we've
referred
to
it
in
many
of
the
updates
at
committee
and
council
in
different
ways.
We
often
talk
about
retiring,
the
policy
or
retiring
the
plan,
but
we
wanted
to
be
clear
on
actually
what
the
actions
that
we're
taking
today
are
so,
firstly,
we're
amending
the
general
plan.
Q
We
need
to
remove
references
to
the
policy
itself
because,
right
now,
it's
currently
embedded
in
our
2040
general
plan
we're
making
some
amendments
to
the
densities
throughout
north
san
jose.
There's
been
some
challenges
on
the
implementation
and
where
we've
not
achieved
as
much
housing
throughout
the
areas
that
we've
designated
over
the
past
or
since
2005
and
as
a
result,
we're
going
to
increase,
how
we
look
at
density
and
what
the
minimums
for
those
density
are
and
how
we
consider
housing
throughout
the
area
and
we're
also
going
to
amend.
Q
So
the
policy
will
still
continue
to
exist.
It
will
still
exist
as
a
policy,
but
we're
going
to
limit
its
application
to
only
previously
entitled
projects
or
development.
That's
come
through,
so
it
will
not
be
applicable
to
new
developments
moving
forward.
In
addition,
as
per
sb
1333,
we
need
to
ensure
that
our
zoning
ordinance
meets
and
matches
our
general
plan.
So
right
now
we
don't
have
the
transit
employment,
residential
overlay
district
codified
in
the
zoning
code.
Q
So
so
we're
going
to
do
that
include
that
as
a
reference
and
then,
lastly,
we're
making
amendments
obviously
to
ensure
that
the
traffic
impact
fee
that
was
established
through
the
policy
only
applies
to
projects
that
have
been
previously
entitled.
So
those
projects
that
exist
that
have
been
entitled
yet
but
yet
to
be
built
in
north
san
jose
will
still
have
a
fee
applicable
to
them,
but
it
will
not
apply
to
new
future
projects
that
will
be
required
to
do
their
own
secret
clearance
under
the
new
standards.
Q
Obviously,
there's
been
a
number
of
different
opportunities
for
us
to
engage
with
stakeholders,
residents
and
businesses
throughout
the
area,
and
we
did
hold
a
couple
of
community
meetings
last
year
to
talk
about
this
more
broadly
and
there's
been
a
number
of
different
presentations
to
the
developer
and
construction.
Roundtable
and
we've
met
pretty
consistently
with
the
river
oaks.
C
In
addition,
much
of
the
residential
development
has
occurred
was
at
a
lower
density
than
than
hoped
for
and
anticipated.
The.
The
second
reason
is
that
the
core
area,
which
is
in
blue
on
the
map
there,
which
is
basically
for
montague
down
to
101
on
north
first
street,
while
it
does
housing,
6
000
housing
units,
were
envisioned
in
the
in
the
north
san
jose
area
development
policy.
The
current
general
plan
framework
doesn't
general
plan,
does
not
have
a
framework
to
accommodate
that
development.
C
So
we'll
need
to
work
on
developing
that
framework
in
north
san
jose.
So
I
mean
the
big
part
of
this.
This
picture
that
we're
talking
about
is,
we
need
to
go
out
and
we
need
to
find
more
sites
for
housing
for
both
market
rate
and
affordable
in
some
cases.
It's
because
existing
sites
that
are
in
the
north,
san
jose
area
development
policy
are
moving
forward
with
commercial
and
industrial
development,
so
it
doesn't
make
sense
to
to
keep
a
housing
overlay
on
them,
but
to
relocate
them
to
other
locations.
C
In
addition,
we
do
need
to
amend
or
or
propose
that
or
recommend
a
council
that
they
amend
the
north,
the
rincon
south
urban
village
plan,
formerly
known
as
the
specific
plan,
because
the
heights
in
there
are
very,
very
low
in
the
area.
That's
planned
for
housing.
The
heights
are
actually
around
four
stories
and
that's
sort
of
high
density
as
envisioned
in
1998,
but
not
where
we
are
today.
C
The
other
related
step-
and
these
are
very
much
intertwined-
is
developing
an
affordable
housing
strategy.
So
the
area
development
policy
currently
has
a
goal
that
20
of
the
housing
in
north
san
jose
will
be
affordable
to
low-income
households
and
we're
proposing
to
maintain
that
goal
and
and
and
we
need
to
come
up
with
a
strategy
of
how
we're
going
to
get
there.
C
So
there's
different
things
that
the
housing
department
working
with
at
csa
partners
are
going
to
explore,
including
targeting
land
purchase
in
north
land
purchases
for
affordable
housing
in
north
san
jose
and
focusing
our
funding
to
subsidize
affordable
housing
in
north
san
jose
as
well.
The
other.
The
other
action
item
is
to
is
to
create
an
affordable
housing
implementation
plan.
That
would
be
very
similar
to
what
has
been
done
for
the
deer
at
on
station
area.
C
Some
other
things
that
the
strategy
will
explore
is
is
the
feasibility
of
modifying
inclusionary,
housing
and
density
bonus
to
to
further
to
further
incent,
affordable
housing,
specifically
in
north
san
jose,
and
to
explore
additional
incentives
for
affordable
housing
that
could
be
possible
today
related
to
the
affordable
housing
strategy.
Are
some
land
use
actions
that
we're
recommending
so
one
is
to
develop
a
housing,
an
affordable,
housing
overlay?
It's
not
something
we
have
now.
C
This
is
this
would
be
an
overlay,
so
it
would
allow
the
underlying
it
would
allow
development
to
occur
under
the
underlying
landis
designation.
So
most
of
the
sites
in
north
san
jose
are
designated
industrial
park
that
allows
office
industrial
r
d.
Those
uses
would
still
be
allowed.
This
would
just
be
giving
an
additional
opportunity
for
affordable
housing
in
north
san
jose.
We
do
think
this
is
actually
one
of
the
most
meaningful
and
pragmatically
the
most
effective
tool
that
we
can
do
to
incent,
affordable
housing.
C
Okay,
so
when
we
as
we
identify
sites
both
for
market
rate
and
affordable,
they
will
be
part
of
the
housing
element,
so
they
will.
They
will
be
included
as
as
as
the
sites
that
are
needed
to
get
to
our
arena
goal
of
62
000
housing
units
being
built
in
the
next
eight
year.
Housing
element
cycle.
So
as
we
look
at
sites
that
make
sense
in
north
translate
for
affordable,
we
are
going
to
examine
the
feasibility
of
we're
going
to
examine
the
funding
sources
to
understand.
C
So
some
of
the
timelines,
I'll
just
quickly
cover
is
in
june
of
2022
as
part
of
the
housing
draft
housing
element.
We
will
be
releasing
draft
housing
sites,
both
housing
sites
in
general
and
affordable
housing
sites
in
north
san
jose,
we'll
also
be
re,
releasing
a
basically
a
work
program
that
goes
in
the
draft
housing
element
that
identifies
actions
that
the
city
should
take.
So
there
will
be
actions
in
there
related
to
north
san
jose,
specifically
to
further
further
the
further
affordable
housing
in
north
san
jose.
C
C
So
we're
talking
a
lot
about
this
in
generalities
today,
but
we
want
to
come
back
to
you
and
specifically
share
with
you,
get
your
thoughts
and
discuss
with
you
on
what
specifically
we're
proposing
and
also
identify
some
dig
into
a
discussion
more
on
the
of
potential
affordable
housing
strategies
in
early
2023
staff.
More
specifically,
the
housing
department
will
return
to
council
with
a
draft
north
san
jose,
affordable
housing
implementation
plan.
C

In
response
to
the
initial
study
addendum
and
the
settlement
agreement,
the
county
of
santa
clara
submitted
a
letter
at
nine
o'clock
this
morning.
This
responding
to
this
letter.
We
want
to
reiterate
of
main
concerns
regarding
the
mitigation
measures
and
phasing
in
the
north,
san
jose
air
development,
pulse
eir
again,
as
stated
in
the
initial
study
addendum
and
within
all
the
documentation,
including
the
staff
report
and
other
documentation
for
the
project.
R
R
R
B
P
If
we
cannot
come
to
agreement
with
the
county,
the
city
will
likely
need
to
make
minor
changes
to
clarify
that
the
settlement
agreement
before
you
today
is
a
two-party
agreement
and
addresses
concerns
by
the
county
that
we
are
doing
in
amending
the
existing
settlement
agreement
in
the
agreement.
San
jose
agrees
to
pay
a
total
of
1.5
million
dollars
to
the
county
of
santa
clara
for
the
montague
I-80
interchange.
P
You
see
additional
points
below
that
are
part
of
the
implementation
strategy
for
the
settlement
agreement
and
beyond
that.
I
would
just
like
to
remind
or
point
out
that,
in
total,
the
investment
by
the
city
of
san
jose,
that's
being
discussed
today
is
38.5
million
dollars
for
improvements
and
staff,
looks
forward
to
fruitful
discussions
with
the
county
that
allow
housing
and
affordable
housing,
particularly
to
move
forward
with
that
staff
is
available
for
questions.
C
Yeah,
so
I'm
just
gonna
run
through
very
quickly
this.
The
record
there's
a
number
of
recommendations.
The
first
the
first
thing,
one
of
the
one
of
the
actions,
the
first
one
is
going
to
be
the
settlement
agreement
system.
The
the
recommendation
is
a
proven,
amend
settlement
agreement
between
the
city
of
santa
clara
and
the
city
of
san
jose
related
to
north
san
jose,
and
then
there
are
a
number
of
other
actions
or
recommendations
that
the
planning
commission
made
on
to
council
they're
consistent
with
staff
recommendation.
C
E
O
O
As
you
all
know,
county
council,
james
williams,
submitted
a
letter
late
on
friday,
and
I
submitted
a
more
lengthy
comment
letter
this
morning
and
I'm
not
going
to
repeat
all
the
points
in
both
letters,
but
I
would
like
to
highlight
the
following.
As
we've
done
numerous
times,
we'd
really
like
a
request
for
a
more
meaningful
continuance
of
the
city,
county
and
city
of
santa
clara,
can
negotiate
and
explore
whether
a
settlement
agreement
amendment
can
be
achieved
that
would
meet
the
needs
of
all
of
the
parties.
O
O
O
However,
the
county's
sincere
hope
is
that
large-scale
residential
development
in
north
san
jose
can
be
accomplished
without
further
exacerbating
traffic
impacts
on
the
county's
montague
expressway.
That
was
the
intent
of
the
settlement
agreement
in
2006
that
resolved
the
litigation
in
which
the
county
and
other
cities
prevailed
and
should
be
a
guiding
principle
for
any
settlement
agreement.
N
N
A
We
support
the
memorandum
for
mayor
le
carto,
council,
member
cohen
and
council
member
perales
and
appreciate
their
collective
leadership
and
commitment.
We
also
support
the
recommendation
for
increases
in
the
minimum
residential
densities
contained
in
the
memo.
North
san
jose
must
be
built
for
the
future,
not
our
lower
density
past.
We
also
want
to
speak
briefly
on
the
letter
received
from
the
county,
which
traditionally
we
would
not
do.
This
has
been
a
very
long
frustrating
process.
We
support
the
city
moving
forward
with
this
plan.
We're
excited
to
see
the
resolution
city
of
santa
clara.
A
A
It's
important
to
acknowledge
that
this
has
been
a
long
process
and
we
feel
feel
really
positive
about
the
engagement
recently
with
staff.
On
these
questions.
We
are
looking
for
explicit
housing
policies
that
center
equity
and
inclusion
and
the
redevelopment
of
north
san
jose.
This
won't
be
easy,
but
with
focus
we
can
leverage
the
tools
and
make
it
a
reality.
This
council
must
stay
committed
and
ensure
that
it
remains
a
staff
priority
to
expand
housing
opportunities
throughout
the
city.
We
are
prepared
to
support
this
work
going
forward.
Thank
you.

Good
afternoon
mayor
and
san
jose
city,
council
members,
my
name
is
ali
saberman
and
I'm
here
on
behalf
of
the
housing
action
coalition.
As
we
all
know,
we
need
to
dramatically
increase
the
supply
of
housing,
particularly
housing,
that
is
near
transit
near
existing
drop
jobs
and
affordable
to
working
people
who
make
our
communities
work.
That
is
why
I'm
here
to
speak
in
support
of
item
10.2,
to
call
to
the
end
of
the
threats
of
lawsuits
from
santa
clara
county,
that
is,
stopping
the
construction
of
vitally
needed
new
housing
in
north
san
jose.
S
A
S
Good
afternoon
mayor
vice
mayor
and
city
council
members,
my
name
is
erica
pinto
san
jose
planning
policy
manager
with
spur
speaking
on
this
agenda
item
as
a
whole.
We
appreciate
the
work
done
by
city
staff
and
partners
to
continue
planning
for
housing
production
in
one
of
the
largest
potential
areas
to
accommodate
new
housing
units
in
the
city
of
san
jose.
S
But,
given
that
the
city
that
the
council's
adoption
of
this
proposed
policy
change
will
retire,
the
adp's
current,
affordable
housing
goal
of
20
for
residential
development,
we
support
recommendations
from
staff
to
ensure
that
measures
and
resources
are
given
during
this
ongoing
process
that
will
enable
greater
production
of
housing,
both
market
rate
and
affordable
in
neighborhoods
near
transit
and
jobs.
In
order
to
meet
the
housing
crisis,
the
city
must
be
bold
about
pursuing
strategies
to
increase
the
amount
of
against
market
rate
and
affordable
housing
sites
across
the
city.
S
Existing
plans
and
codes
need
to
be
amended
in
order
to
accommodate
new
growth
and
facilitate
equitable
development.
In
other
words,
in
order
to
support
great
neighborhoods,
the
city
needs
to
intentionally
plan
for
a
mix
of
housing,
commercial
and
industrial
spaces,
alongside
public
space
to
attract
both
new
jobs
and
residents.
S
It
is
necessary
for
all
parties
involved
in
updating
this
area
development
policy
to
work
together
under
shared
values
and
a
commitment
to
building
housing
for
all
income
levels
in
north
san
jose.
It
is
our
hope
that,
by
taking
these
critical
steps
to
address
our
chronic
housing
short
housing
shortage,
san
jose
will
effectively
plan
for
more
livable
and
equitable
communities.
T
I
do
know
in
your
hearts
that
you
care
deeply
about
this
issue
and
you
are
moving
the
needle
by
continuing
to
encourage
the
planning
department,
the
community
and
other
parts
of
the
city
to
go
higher
and
higher
buildings
is
not
as
scary
as
it
sounds.
It
can
be
really
great
for
neighborhoods.
It
can
offer
more
opportunity
for
green
space
and
amenities
and
perhaps
most
importantly,
more
places
for
more
of
our
existing
and
future
community
members
to
live.
T
P
A
35-Year,
ceo
of
eah
housing
we've
been
developing
in
san
jose
for
many
many
years
and
I'm
now
the
executive
chair
of
the
board
in
my
tenure
there
we've
developed
over
800
units
and
we
manage
another
1200
units
in
the
area,
and
it
is
really
a
pleasure
to
see
what
you're
putting
forward
here.
We
fully
support
the
settlement
with
sand
with
santa
clara
and
also
I
just
would
like
to
stress
the
extreme
need
for
higher
density.
The
previous
speaker
just
mentioned
going
taller
and
I
don't
drive
by
any
building
I've
built
in
30
years.
A
K
O
This
project
seeks
to
deliver
over
1400
homes
and
apartments
at
the
corner
of
seeley
and
montague
expressway,
including
172,
affordable
units
on
top
of
over
50
000
square
feet
of
new
ground
floor
grocery
anchored
retail.
These
buildings
will
be
centered
on
the
two
and
a
half
acre
city
park,
feature
linkage,
points
to
the
adjacent
coyote
creek
trail.
O
A
S
S
It
said
that
when
north
san
jose
was
opened
up
for
new
housing
development
nearly
two
decades
decades
ago,
it
was
intended
to
be
a
transit
and
job-rich
new
community
accessible
to
everyone
in
san
jose.
To
realize
this
vision,
the
north
san
jose
area
development
policy
stated
that
20
of
all
new
homes
would
be
affordable.
S
S
I'm
reading
this
from
these
a
number
of
groups,
I
mean
it
looks
like
there's
at
least
15
listed
and
as
a
resident
and
taxpayer
here,
and
I
read
that
because
I'm
not
an
expert
in
north
san
jose,
you
know
in
those
affairs
and
that
plan
that's
being
retired,
but
when
it
says
that
there
was
a
policy
that
20
of
all
those
new
homes
would
be
affordable
and
the
next
sentence.
This
did
not
happen
in
phase
one.
S
All
I
can
think
about
is
all
of
the
people
suffering
they're
unhoused,
and
I
keep
thinking
well
20
of
8
000
rough
right
is
what
1
600
units
of
affordable
housing,
and
so
the
next
thing
I
think
about
is
an
entire
planning
commission
and
an
entire
city
council
that
at
some
point,
voted
in
favor
of
all
those
8
000
units
without
any
affordable
housing.
So
the
question
is
who's
accountable
for
that
decision.
Those
decisions
who
said
it
was
okay
to
not
have
twenty
percent
of
those
projects
include
affordable
housing.
I
know
it's
extremely
complex.
S
A
A
Just
the
fact
that
there
is
that
risk
of
litigation
between
two
public
agencies
represents
risk,
and
what
that
would
mean
is
that
projects
that
are
on
the
table
right
now
could
be
delayed
or
dropped
that
have
affordable
housing
in
them.
They
have
market
rate
housing
in
them
they
have
neighborhood
serving
retail
in
them
they
have
neighborhood
serving
parks
in
them,
and
so
the
disagreement
could
cause
those
good
things,
affordable,
housing
parks
and
retail
to
be
delayed
or
deferred
indefinitely.
A
E
Thank
you.
I
want
to
thank
all
the
members
of
the
community
for
speaking
as
well
as
for
the
many
letters
we
received.
A
letter
from
you
know,
matthew,
reed
and
silken
valley
at
home,
and
a
coalition
of
19
organizations
supporting
housing
and
urbanism
in
our
city
and
environmental
planning.
Spurr
also
submitted
a
letter
appreciate
their
support
and
and
the
focus
of
all
those
organizations
on
affordability.
E
But
I
thank
everyone
for
their
engagement
and
I
know,
of
course
there
were
letters
as
well
from
the
county
santa
clara
just
shortly.
I
I
do
want
to
thank
our
team
here
at
the
city
for
their
hard
work,
chris
and
michael
and
david
and
everybody
in
planning
nancy
and
her
team
and
owen
d,
ramses
and
john
at
urban
transportation
and
johnny
and
nora
here
at
the
state
attorney's
office
and
roseanne
and
the
city
managers
team.
I
know
this
has
taken
a
lot
of
work
to
get
this
over
the
goal
line.
E
One
is
just
with
regard
to
the
impact
of
sb743,
and
now
I
think
about
you
know.
The
other
743,
of
course
relates
to.
I
believe,
the
mandate
that
in
the
state
that
we
now
align
ourselves
with
a
vehicle
miles,
travel
approach
to
assessing
impacts
of
development
rather
than
a
level
of
service
and
when
combined
with
the
other
state
housing
laws
that
have
come
down
now,
sb
330,
sb
1333,
I'm
just
wondering
with
regard.
B
C
Yeah,
I
think
so
under
sp
30.
I'm
not
sure
this
gets
answering
your
question,
but
you
can.
Let
us
know
is
that
there
is
a
question
about
you
know.
There's
a
ban
within
338
include
cities
from
having
moratorium
and
housing
development,
and
there
is
you
know,
interpretations
that
the
current
facing
that
we
have
and
restricting
housing
on
sites
that
are
out
or
a
general
plan
for
housing
or
have
an
overlay
with
housing
may
be
seen
as
as
a
violation
of
330.
C
So
right
I
mean
there
isn't
so
that's
something
that
that
could
come
up
regardless.
What
we're
proposing
today
is
to
sort
of
that
potential
issue
would
go
away
because
we'd
be
aligning
we'd,
be
allowing
the
housing
to
go
forward
on
the
sites
that
are
already
envisioned
in
the
general
plan
to
allow
housing.
E
So,
just
to
go
a
little
deeper.
Just
on
that
side,
just
one
of
the
three
issues-
and
I
agree-
that's
an
important
one,
because
the
operation,
the
plan,
with
the
interaction
of
all
the
surrounding
contextual
facts,
we
essentially
had
a
de
facto
prohibition
on
development
of
housing
in
north
san
jose.
But
for
for
about
a
decade
I
assume,
since
the
last
time
we
ever
got
a
unit
out
of
the
ground.
Is
that
right.
E
Q
So,
under
the
mitigations
associated
with
743,
it's
highly
unlikely
I'll.
Let
rounds
isn't
done
if
they
want
to
jump
in
on
that
in
one.
Second,
what
I
will
say
mayor
to
the
sort
of
bigger
picture
of
your
question
is
that
you
know
when
we
adopted
the
north
san
jose
area
development
policy.
We
also
adopted
a
program
level
eir
that
allowed
us
to
move
very
quickly
on
development
for
that
first
period
of
time.
Q
Several
years
ago
now
I
think
pre-pandemic
we
determined
that
you
know
that
that
eir
had
surpassed
its
functional
use
for
approving
individual
projects
in
the
area
right.
However,
the
traffic
impact
fee
is
a
mitigation
fee
fee
so
that
that
stays
in
place
as
part
of
the
sort
of
offsetting
mitigation
under
under
loss.
So
should
a
project
come
forward
today
and
the
policy
was
still
in
full
force.
In
effect,
they
would
essentially
have
to
go
through
their
own
secret
clearance.
Q
They
would
get
a
problem
like
most
likely
a
fully
ir
because
of
the
vmt
conditions
in
north
san
jose
and
they'd
either
have
to
mitigate
appropriately
or
get
an
override
on
the
impact,
and
then
they'd
still
have
to
pay
the
traffic
impact
fee.
In
addition
to
that
right,
because
it's
likely
that
the
offsets
related
to
those
are
very
different
and
the
traffic
impact
fee
is
related
specifically
to
transportation.
Roadway
improvements
versus
the
sort
of
mitigations
and
offsets
under
vmt
are
sort
of
more
aligned
with
transit
and
and
the
sort
of
tdm
type
measures.
E
Is
that
fair
to
say
that's
fair
to
say?
Yes,
okay,
so
I
appreciate
that
the
letter
that's
from
the
county
and
and
their
their
perspective,
and
I
I'm
confident
we
can
get
to
an
agreement
with
county.
I'm
very
optimistic.
We
can
do
that
because
I
think
we
all
care
about
building
more
housing
in
our
valley-
and
I
I
know
several
members
of
the
board
who
feel
strongly
about
that.
So
I'm
I'm
very
hopeful.
We're
gonna
get
to
a
resolution
very
soon.
E
I
I
know
there
were
a
couple
issues
that
were
raised
in
letters.
I
read
both
letters.
One
was
a
concern
that
we
haven't
specified
a
funding
source
for
many
of
the
traffic
improvements
north
san
jose-
and
I
don't
know
exactly
what
communication,
because
I
know
we
had
a
lot
of
communication.
I
saw
what
18
times
we
we
met
with
them
over
four
years,
so
there
was
a
lot
of
communication,
but
I
assume
at
some
point
in
our
document
somewhere
we
refer
to
the
measure
b
program
in
2016
and
the
funding
that's
been
made
available
through.
A
With
measure
b
is
a
is
going
to
be
a
contributor
to
a
very
big
project
yet
to
be
built,
that's
in
the
settlement
agreement
and
I'm
I
I'm
assuming
that
when
you
were
said
in
north
sea
you're
really
referring
to
the
settlement
agreement.
The
area
development
policy
has
a
whole
bunch
of
other
projects
that
we're.
E
E
Asserting
that
there
is
any
congestion
impact
to
the
valley
with
regard
to
any
development
moving
forward
understanding
is
that
the
county
assigned
the
congestion
management
organization
responsibility
to
vta.
They
did
that
back
in
the
1990s.
I
believe
so
I
don't
know
if
we've
looked
at
this
yet
johnny
and
nora,
but
does
the
county
have
standing
to
sue
over
congestion
impacts
or
would
that
have
to
be
the
vta,
since
they
are
the
congestion
management
agency
for
this
region?.
F
F
E
You,
okay,
thank
you
and
obviously
we
don't.
We
don't
need
to
get
there.
We
all
hope
we
hope
this
is
all
just
going
to
be
discussed
and
resolved
either
to
direct
discussion
remediation.
You
know,
but
this
would
be
helpful
to
understand
all
that
and
finally,
I
just
wanted
to
respond.
One
of
the
speakers
asked
you
know:
was
it
okay
for
us
to
vote
for
a
thousand
units
with
without
sufficient,
affordable
housing,
and
I
think,
there's
a
lot
of
context
here.
E
Q
Out
of
the
great
recession,
redevelopment
was
shut
down
in
2011.,
okay,
and
so
the
majority
of
the
housing
came
in
in
that
period
between
2011
and
the
resolution
of
the
palmer
case,
yeah
prior
to
us
having
the
affordable
housing
impact
fee
in
place
right
and
there
was.
There-
was
a
very
sort
of
in-depth
discussion
at
council
at
the
time.
Q
E
B
Charles
graham,
the
director
of
housing-
and
we
did
receive
some
fees
during
the
first
phase
and
we
allowed
market
rate
development
to
go
forward
with
that,
and
we
also
created
some
mixed
income
housing.
I
I
saw
that
kristin
had
raised
her
hand
as
well,
and
so
maybe
she
can
provide
just
the
additional
detail.
A
So
the
deals
that
went
forward
in
north
san
jose
that
were
rental,
had
satisfaction
agreements
that
protected
them
from
have
any
obligation
of
affordability,
payment
of
fees
or
having
to
integrate
the
units
provided
that
they
hit
certain
milestones
of
proceeding
and,
as
chris
said,
because
we
were
in
a
recession.
We
just
wanted
to
see
some
construction
go
forward.
So
basically
the
first
seven
to
eight
thousand
units
that
were
all
rental
got
built
out
with
no
affordability
and
what
jackie
is
referring
to
was.
A
E
Yeah
I
so
I
appreciate
we
where
we
were
able
to
get
fees.
We
got
fees
and
we
used
them
for
affordable
housing,
but
we
were
precluded
from
imposing
fees
and
inclusionary
requirements
in
many
cases,
because
both
we're
being
sued
and
our
inclusionary
mandate
was,
I
think,
by
virtue
operation
of
the
courts
suspended
until
the
until
the
supreme
court
weighed
in
and
then
the
dissolution.
The
redevelopment
agencies
prevented
us
from
from
being
able
to
impose
requirements,
so
everybody's
working
under
the
best
intentions.
The
challenge
was,
we
also
wanted
to
build
housing.
Okay.
J
J
We
saw
the
results
yesterday
of
the
point
in
time
homeless,
count
reminding
us
just
how
critical
our
failure
to
provide
housing
has
been.
We
haven't
been
able
to
move
the
needle
as
much
on
for
on
ending
homelessness
as
we'd
like,
but
we
haven't
really
been
able
to
build,
affordable
housing
in
lots
of
in
and
certainly
in
this
part
of
the
city
for
a
long
time.
So
I'm
grateful
to
the
city
of
santa
clara
for
recognizing
the
benefits
for
all
of
us.
J
Moving
to
the
next
phase
of
this
project,
and
I
want
to
thank
mayor
licardo
for
his
partnership
in
engaging
with
the
city
of
santa
clara
and
their
council
members.
I
spoke.
I
had
meetings
with
each
of
those
council
members
as
well
over
the
past
year
and
we
could
tell
it
was
clear
when
we
held
the
joint
press
conference
with
a
few
of
their
council
members.
J
I
guess
was
over
a
year
ago
now
that
that
they
understood
the
regional
benefit
of
of
opening
up
the
area
to
housing,
and
they
want
to
be
a
partner
in
that.
So
the
importance
of
this
action
today
is
that
it
enables
developers
of
housing,
both
market
rate
and
affordable,
to
begin
the
process
of
getting
entitlements
for
their
projects.
J
There's
so
many.
There
are
many
housing
developers
who
are
watching
today's
meeting,
looking
for
the
assurance
that
they
can
begin
the
process
for
the
projects
that
they
have
in
the
pipeline
and,
in
fact,
the
first
project,
which
will
be
100,
affordable
housing
project
of
over
500
units
is
on
our
agenda
for
next
week.
J
J
L
Thanks
mayor
and
I'll
also
save
most
of
my
comments
for
the
second
vote
here,
but
I
do
want
to
just
add
my
thanks
to
the
mayor
and
his
team,
councilmember
cohen
stacey
brown
and
the
d4
team
and
and
staff.
You
all
have
worked
many
more
hours
than
any
of
us.
I
know
to
get
us
to
this
point.
I
think
it's
really
exciting.
L
I
think
that
the
potential
impact
on
housing,
housing,
availability,
housing
costs
in
our
region
is
really
really
significant,
and
I
think
your
efforts
are
just
a
testament
to
the
fact
that
the
world
changes
and
we
have
to
be
constantly
collaborating
and
working
to
find
new
solutions
to
meet
the
current
need
and
the
opportunity
to
build
more
intensively
near
jobs.
Near
transit
is
extremely
exciting,
and
I
I
just
I
think
this
is
a
really
great
moment
for
our
city
and
I'll.
L
A
C
A
Okay,
that's
why,
obviously
that's
our
intent
from
the
memo
and,
as
councilmember
cohen
just
pointed
out,
actually
we'll
make
some
headway
into
that
so
and
and
that's
the
goal.
So
I
just
want
to
clarify
that.
Maybe
you
could
make
an
edit
to
the
the
presentation
and
then
exchange
that
online.
So
that
way,
if
anybody
you
know
next
week
or
something
looks
at
that-
that's
that's
what
exists
in
there
versus
what
was
what
was
here
today
so
to
clarify
that
thanks.
E
J
L
Q
O
O
Basically,
anyone
that
knows
san
jose
would
say
that
it's
a
housing,
rich
city
and
a
jobs,
poor
city,
and
we
also
wonder
where
the
fiscal
impact
analysis
is
that
supports
all
of
this
housing
relative
to
you
know
the
the
general
idea
of
the
jobs
housing
benefits.
So
again,
I
appreciate
the
opportunity
to
speak
again
we're
asking
for
what
we
think
is
a
very
reasonable
and
prudent
request
for
the
council
to
just
wait,
not
take
action
today
and
allow
us
to
continue
our
further
production,
productive
discussions.
Thank
you
very
much.
K
N
N
Good
luck
that
this
can
be
an
open
conversation.
We
don't
have
to
fear
this
sort
of
conversation.
I
mean
this
is
kind
of
the
point
of
view
where
I'm
trying
to
come
from
is
where,
where
we
can
work
together
on
on
items-
and
that
can
be
an
important
concept-
is
how
we
can
talk
about
sea
level
rise
issues
in
this
area
openly,
and
you
know
we
did.
The
vta
did
a
lot
of
important
work
towards
the
future
of
green
sustainability
and
climate
change
in
the
past
few
years.
N
I
think
before
covid,
especially
right
before
kobayden
and
in
the
beginning
times
of
kobe,
that
was
a
real
heroic
attempt.
They
wanted
to
really
address
really
address
the
future
of
housing
in
in
climate
change
terms,
and
so
good
luck.
Maybe
some
advice
from
them
can
be
helpful
for
all
of
us
at
this
time.
They
can
they
can
offer
some
advice.
You
know
good
luck,
how
you
can
work
on
these
sort
of
issues
and
work
out
our
differences.
N
J
Yeah,
thank
you
on
to
part
two,
as
we've
been
talking
about,
it's
unfortunate
that
the
first
8
000
units
of
housing
in
north
san
jose
didn't
include
affordable
housing,
and
we
must
correct
that
and
it's
why
the
recommendation.
One
of
the
recommendations
in
the
memo
from
the
mayor
and
councilman
perales
and
myself
is
to
commit
to
achieving
20,
affordable
housing
for
all
projects.
J
J
We
ought
to
do
that
and
and
maximize
density.
That's
why.
The
other
item
on
our
memo
is
about
the
density
level
and
the
recommendation
from
staff
was
that
75
units,
but
we
think
there's
areas
in
the
north
san
jose,
particularly
in
the
t
row
area
that
can
just
can
have
100
as
the
minimum
density,
and
we
ought
to
consider
how
we
can
achieve
that
and
what
areas
are
appropriate
for
that
density.
J
J
That's
actually
in
district
3,
not
district
4,
but
in
along
north
first
street,
some
creative
use
of
space,
putting
housing
on
top
of
parking
and
other
other
types
of
retail
and
commercial
space
there
and
those
are
the
kind
of
things
we
ought
to
be
looking
to
try
to
do
along
all
of
north
first
street
and
that's
particularly
important,
because
we
also
need
to
bring
amenities
to
north
san
jose.
It
really
isn't
under.
I
don't
know
what
the
word
is
under
amenitized
area.
J
We
don't
have
a
community
center,
a
library
or
grocery
store
in
all
of
north
san
jose,
and
if
we
do
get
to
32
000
housing
units
we're
going
to
need
those
things,
it's
going
to
be
done
differently
in
north
san
jose.
It's
not
going
to
be
a
stand-alone
library.
Maybe
it
will
probably
be
a
library
in
the
first
floor
of
one
of
these
developments,
but
I
believe
we're
going
to
have
to
to
to
be
focused
on
those
amenities
in
addition
to
the
housing.
J
So
I
want
to
thank
you,
know,
council,
member,
for
allis
partnership
on
this,
and
we
share
north
san
jose
a
lot
of
it's
in
d4,
but
a
decent
portion
is
also
in
d3,
and
it's
important
that
we
have
a
unified
voice
on
on.
This
importance
certainly
want
to
thank
mayor.
Licardo.
We've
worked
a
lot
on
this
since
beginning
of
last
year.
J
J
It
includes
the
section
on
potentially
increasing
the
minimum
density
in
in
the
t
row
area
and
also
the
focus
on
making
sure
that
all
of
the
housing
is
20.
At
least
20
of
all
the
housing
in
north
san
jose
is
affordable
and
some
suggestions
on
how
we
might
do
that
as
we
move
forward,
and
then
I
want
to
thank
councilmember
mayhem
for
his
comments
about
the
importance
of
working
with
the
county.
I
do
want
to
say
that
I
don't,
despite
the
county
council's
comments
today.
J
I
don't
think
that
passing
this,
this
plan
necessitates
an
adversarial
posture.
I
think
that
we're
still
in
the
midst
of
a
negotiation
because
of
the
timing
of
the
projects
that
we
have
coming
and
the
importance
of
getting
started
on
them.
It's
important
that
we
pass
this
today,
but
that
doesn't
mean
that
we
were
not.
We
were
planning
to
change
anything
about
the
negotiations.
We
were
in
the
middle
of
doing,
and
we
just
we
just
feel
that
we
can
continue
to
move
in
that
direction.
J
And
while
I
know
that
staff,
you
know
the
city
manager's
office
and
the
city
attorney's
office
were
already
planning
to
have
these
conversations
and
reach
out
to
the
county.
Putting
that
into
the
motion
to
ensure
that
there's
a
plan
to
move
forward
with
a
conversation
between
the
county
and
the
city
is
is
enumerated
here
in
the
motion.
So
I'll.
Add
the
language
in
councilman
rahan's
memo
addre,
pushing
the
city
manager's
office
to
set
up
that
next
round
of
talks.
Q
L
Yeah,
thank
you
for
including
my
memo
and
I
I
just
wanted
to
add
you
know
I
was
really
disappointed
and
concerned
by
by
the
letters
we
received
from
the
county
just
over
the
last
few
days.
I
don't
think
the
threat
of
further
lawsuit
is
particularly
productive.
At
this
point
I
mean
we've
been:
we've
been
stuck
on
an
old
dispute
for
a
very
long
time,
that's
frankly
rooted
in
a
different
era,
an
era
in
which
we
did
not
have
nearly
the
housing
crisis
we
have.
Today.
L
It
would
be
incredibly
irresponsible
of
us
to
allow
ourselves
to
go
sideways
for
additional
years.
With
studies
and
reports
and
legal
wrangling,
I
think
we
we
really
need
to
get
everybody
to
the
table
and,
as
I've
suggested
in
my
memo
map
out
a
path
to
getting
to
a
resolution
quickly,
even
if
that
requires
some
kind
of
mediation
or
arbitration
process.
I
did
want
to
just
just
to
kind
of
clear
the
air
on
this
question.
That's
looming
here
ask
staff
for
just
a
if
you
could
just
a
an
overview
of
our.
P
L
Right
great
well,
I
just
nancy
thank
you
and
thank
you
to
everyone
on
staff,
for
how
hard
you've
worked
to
try
to
find
those
mitigations
and
that
practical
path
forward.
That
gets
us
to
where
we
want
to
be
here,
which
is
attracting
investment
where
it
belongs,
particularly
in
a
more
mixed
use,
denser
fashion,
near
transit.
L
So
thank
you
for
that,
and
I
am
glad
to
hear
that
mayor
le
cardo
and
councilman
cohen
feel
that
would
have
great
optimism
that
we're
going
to
get
there
and
I
I
appreciate
all
the
work
that
you
and
your
teams
have
done,
along
with
councilmember
perales,
to
get
us
to
this
point
and
hope
that
we
very
quickly
will
have
at
least
a
plan
to
get
to
a
resolution
with
our
colleagues
at
the
county.
So
thank
you
again
for
your
efforts
and
that's
all
from
me
mayor.
E
Thank
you.
There
are
comments,
sorry
to
keep
harping
on
this
affordable
housing
issue
in
the
historic,
because
I'm
just
trying
to
remember.
I
know
several
folks
have
said
we
built
no
affordable
housing,
but
I
can
remember
back
in
the
days
when
I
sat
in
councilman
peralta's
seat
with
300,
affordable
projects
move
forward
in
recon
south.
I
remember
charities
housing
in
rome
and
I
can't
remember
who
was
the
one,
so
we
did
have
some
affordable
housing
get
built
right.
E
B
S
S
S
Is
the
city
able
to
look
at
options
such
as
overstaffing
the
animal
care
attendant
position,
so
they
are
consistently
recruiting
rather
than
waiting
for
an
opening,
such
as
police
and
fire
departments,
and
can
we
look
for
opportunities
to
fill
the
gap
in
services
such
as
collaboration
on
mobile
spay
and
neuter
and
vaccination
clinics
to
help
underserved
areas
or
ways
to
utilize
surgical
facilities?
If
there
is
a
vet
staff.

here

financial

to
homelessness.
H
Providing
veterinary
services
and
support
spending
nearly
130
000
in
vet
care
over
the
course
of
the
past
two
years,
with
the
global
shortage
of
veterinarians
and
a
decrease
in
low-cost
spay
neuter
programs,
the
number
of
guadalupe
river
gardens
pets
who
need
our
help
far
exceed
the
resources
available
to
help
them.
We
believe.
F
F
The
immense
weight
put
onto
the
line
level
staff
is
unacceptable
and
I'm
angry
and
upset
that
they
are
not
supported
to
do
the
work
that
they
are
asked
to
do.
These
are
young
women
in
there
working
every
day
to
save
the
lives
of
vulnerable
kittens,
the
trash
is
not
being
taken
out.
The
kennels
are
dirty
there's
dirty
laundry
management
is
not
in
a
position
to
support
them
and
I'm
extremely
upset.
F
If
you
can
only
take
in
one
cat
out
of
the
colony
of
20
cats,
how
am
I
ever
going
to
get
that
colony
under
control?
I
can't
I'm
dedicating
my
own
time
and
energy
and
resources
to
be
out
there
to
help
the
community
members
and
I'm
not
getting
a
partnership
going
the
other
way.
I
understand
that
the
budget
is
being,
and
I
am
grateful
that
the
district
or
that
the
council
members
and
the
budget
is
being
increased
to
help.
F
G
Hi
my
name
is
vanessa
and
I'm
here
to
explain
why
including
a
trap,
neuter
return
program
in
the
budget
is
a
necessary
part
in
ending
the
crisis
at
the
san
jose
shelter,
the
shelter
is
in
a
state
of
emergency
due
to
lack
of
staffing
and
funding,
resulting
in
leaving
unfixed
cats
and
kittens
on
the
street
and
an
unacceptable
quality
of
care
for
shelter.
Animals
tnr
is
the
only
effective
and
humane
way
of
controlling
feral
cat
populations.
G
G
It
is
essential
to
include
space
for
tnr
in
the
budget,
because
unfixed
cats
and
lack
of
spay
neuter
are
the
source
of
the
kittens
without
mass
trapping
and
widely
available
tnr
appointments.
The
cats
will
continue
to
breed.
We
need
enough
funding
to
hold
mass
spay
neuter
days
for
community
cats
and
additional
daily
tnr
appointments.
G
S
Hi
everybody,
my
name
is
ali
hewitt.
I
live
in
district
2
and
I'm
also
here
to
speak
on
animal
services
from
2019
to
2021.
I
fostered
205
kittens
the
majority
of
which
came
to
me
when
they
were
under
one
week
old.
I
bottle-fed
them
every
three
hours
monitored
their
health
and
I
sent
them
to
their
new
homes
when
they
were
two
to
three
months
old.
S
Seventy
five
percent
of
kittens
born
outside
die
before
they
reach
six
months
old
and
still
neonatal
kittens
are
one
of
the
most
euthanized
populations
at
animal
shelters
due
to
the
level
of
care
they
require
in
2020,
the
shelter's
kitten
save
rate
was
an
outstanding
93
percent.
Currently
they're
experiencing
an
unprecedented
staffing
crisis.
Not
only
have
they
had
to
severely
cut
down
on
community
services,
but
they
are
also
having
to
make
decisions
that
cause
irreparable
damage
to
the
mental
health
of
their
staff.
S
S

Hello,
my
name
is
anne
chaston
and
I'm
the
co-founder
of
the
dancing
cat.
We
are
a
non-profit
cat
rescue
with
a
cat
adoption
lounge
located
located
at
15th
and
julian
in
downtown
san
jose,
we're
a
partner
with
the
san
jose
animal
care
center
and
have
been
rescuing
cats
from
the
shelter
for
the
past
seven
years,
we're
also
a
community
resource,
and
because
we
have
a
brick
and
mortar
presence,
we
are
in
a
unique
position
to
help
our
community
members,
like
many
you
have
heard
from
already.
We
are
on
the
front
lines.
S
S
The
result
is
a
predictable
explosion
in
the
number
of
kittens
being
born
outside
and
a
resulting
stress
on
the
shelter
system
on
rescue
organizations
and
on
individuals
that
care
about
cats
in
our
community.
From
my
perspective,
the
basic
problem
is
that
the
shelter
is
unable
to
provide
the
services
that
are
necessary
for
the
well-being
of
the
community.
Is
there
not
enough
money
or
as
matt
kano
asserted
last
week?
Is
it
an
hr
problem
with
hiring
and
retention
of
staff?
S
We
don't
know
why.
We
just
see
the
consequences.
Desperate
calls
for
help
from
community
members.
We
get
over.
500
calls
emails
and
in-person
please
for
help
every
year
from
people
looking
for
new
homes
or
affordable
services
for
their
pets,
it's
overwhelming
we
and
other
rescue
organizations
and
individuals
who
care
for
community
cats
are
stretched
to
the
limits
in
terms
of
what
we
can
do.
I
urge
your
support
for
the
shelter.
This
is
a
critical
community
issue
and
requires
high
priority
attention.
R
A
I
really
have
had
a
great
working
relationship
with
my
own
team,
as
you
came
out
to
the
cambrian
community
center
amir
and
and
appreciate
all
that
you're
doing
and
look
forward
to
this
additional
money,
because
we
not
only
want
to
train
the
people.
We
want
to
have
the
equipment
ready,
so
they
can
continue
to
practice
their
skills,
so
they
are
ready
and
and
have
those
eyes
and
ears
are
available.
That
also
will
support
the
additional
police
that
you're
putting
into
foot
work
in
the
neighborhoods,
with
that
local
knowledge.
A
A
A
A
I
urge
you
to
vote
for
a
workers,
recovery
budget
that
starts
working
toward
real
solutions
for
the
public
sector
workforce.
We
are
hopefully
coming
out
of
a
two-year
pandemic
as
residents.
Many
of
the
services
and
aids
available
to
us
via
city
government
are
more
needed
than
ever,
but
the
staffing
of
these
programs
is
very
limited.
Many
of
us
have
still
not
been
back
to
work
and
are
struggling
to
make
ends
meet.
A
A
Fortunately,
I've
had
my
union
to
help
me
find
temporary
jobs
here
and
there,
but
you
can't
make
a
life
that
way.
There's
no
benefits,
there's
no
guarantee
of
continued
work
before
the
pandemic
happened.
These
were
not
choices
we
had
to
make.
We
always
had
the
government
to
lean
on
when
necessary.
Please
ensure
that
these
public
assistance
programs
are
fully
staffed
and
ready
to
provide
aid,
and
I
thank
you
for
your
time.

Hi,
my
name
is
alec.
I
was
this
an
essential
worker
during
the
pandemic.
I'm
also
here
to
support
the
essential
workers
council
and
urge
you
to
support
a
worker's
recovery
budget
that
invests
in
wage
theft
prevention
if
wage
theft,
prevention
or
wage
theft
is
by
far
the
largest
source
of
theft
in
the
united
states,
amounts
to
more
than
15
billion
dollars
every
year.
But
workers
have.
O
Good
afternoon,
council
members,
my
name
is
andres
solomonov
and
I
represent
the
brahms
edgeview
neighborhood
association.
Our
neighborhood
is
facing
a
crisis.
We
have
always
struggled
with
a
very
large
feral
cat
population,
but
ever
since
the
pandemic,
the
number
of
feral
cats
has
exploded
exponentially.
O
O
Unfortunately,
the
pandemic
has
caused
shelters
to
scale
back
their
operations,
specifically
their
neutering
programs.
In
fact,
san
jose
has
been
continuously
cutting
back
shelter
services
as
of
two
weeks
ago.
The
city
of
san
jose
animal
care
center
is
not
accepting
feral
cats
due
to
lack
of
veterinary
staff.
It's
devastating,
as
this
will
result
in
even
more
cats.

O
A
S
Thank
you.
This
is
jill
borders,
I'm
actually
calling
for
the
animal
services
issue
as
well.
I'm
going
to
speak,
however,
on
a
different
side
of
things,
because
I
am
not
a
cat
expert,
the
people
that
have
spoken
before,
though,
on
the
tnr
program
and
the
lack
of
of
that
being
made
available
and
the
management
problems.
S
Tell
you
why
I
hate
to
criticize
our
own
city
shelter,
but
I
need
to
at
this
point
if
you
go
walk
into
the
city
of
santa
clara
shelter,
it's
absolutely
gorgeous.
It
makes
you
feel,
like
you're
having
an
experience
where
you're
going
to
meet
your
future
forever
animal,
your
future
forever
pet.
When
you
go
to
the
humane
society
of
silicon
valley,
you
also
have
that
similar
experience,
and
you
have
the
very
strong
feeling
that
these
animals
are
being
well
cared
for
and
loved
until
you
have
that
wonderful
experience
of
adopting
them.
S
When
you
walk
into
the
san
jose
animal
shelter,
it
looks
like,
and
I
like
to
say
it's
an
anachronism.
I
mean
it's.
It
feels
like
a
shelter
from
the
past
from
our
past
from
our
childhood,
like
more
of
a
pound
feeling,
and
I
apologize.
This
is
nothing
you
know
against
those
people
that
work
there
and
the
volunteers.
It's
it's
something
where,
in
my
personal
opinion,
if
you're
going
to
look
at
the
issues
with
a
shelter,
one
of
them
that
you're
going
to
have
to
look
at
is
capital
improvements,
serious
capital
improvements
and
look.
S
S
S
Thank
you
good
afternoon,
mayor
council
members,
louie
hourhand
with
working
partnerships,
and
today
you
are
taking
your
next
big
step
towards
shaping
the
city's
budget
and
for
the
first
time
since
I
can
remember-
and
I've
been
working
on
this
a
while.
As
many
of
you,
we
have
a
historic
budget
surplus.
S
So
now
is
the
time
for
us
to
really
reinvest
in
workers
who
are
essential
to
caring
for
our
children
and
families
to
supporting
our
healthy
neighborhoods
building,
affordable
housing
related
to
everything.
We
need
to
do
to
maintaining
an
animal
shelter,
everything
that
we
need
to
create
a
city
for
all,
and
I
know
that
you
all
have
been
working
hard
on
this
and
agree
that
our
city
deserves
a
full
and
fair
recovery
that
lifts
up
all
of
us,
no
matter
what
job
we
do
or
what
neighborhood
we
live
in.
S
So
I
urge
you
to
support
the
essential
worker
council's
call
for
a
worker's
recovery
budget
that
invests
in
wage
theft,
prevention
and
outreach
to
protect
our
most
vulnerable
residents
and
starts
working
collaboratively
towards
real
solutions
for
supporting
our
public
sector
workforce
so
that
all
our
neighborhoods
can
get
the
services
they
need
to
thrive.
Thank
you.
A
N
All
right,
thank
you.
Thank
you
for
the
word
to
the
previous
speaker.
I
think
that
said
a
lot
thanks
for
the
whole
budget
process
this
year.
I
wish
you
could
have
had
a
little
bit
more
public
comment
time
available
after
each
item.
Maybe
that's
something
we
can
work
on
in
the
coming
years.
A
minute
public
comment
could
be
helpful.
N
N
You
describe
that
during
the
budget
process,
you've
created
a
whole
new
natural
disaster
preparedness
program
that
just
simply
tries
to
involve
itself
in
the
ideas
of
racial
equity,
health
and
human
services,
ideas,
and
just
an
awareness
for
the
public
that
I
think's
been
outstanding
and
a
real
example
for
the
entire
bay
area.
I
hope
you
know
my
prognostications
are
wrong
and
I
and
I've
clearly
tried
to
state
they
can
be
for
what
to
expect
in
the
next
year
and
if
they
are
wrong,
I'm
glad
they
are.
I
hope
you
can
make
that
clear.
N
The
difference
is
because
I
think
enough's
been
said
by
others
that
it
merits
concern
that
I
hope
you
can
make
that
clear
for
the
public.
I
think
there
is
an
interest
how
that
situation
is
unfolding,
and
so
we
can
be
clear
about
it,
because
the
more
we're
clear
about
it,
the
better
and
the
safer
our
community
is
and
healthier
our
community
is,
and
with
that
you
know
all
the
budget
items
if
we
can
learn
to
talk
about.
N
P
C
A
Construction
industry,
where
up
to
54
of
workers,
have
experienced
wage
theft
in
one
form
or
another.
You
know
this
could
be
not
getting
paid
for
overtime
to
companies
drying
up.
We
just
spent
you
know
a
good
hour
talking
about
the
housing
crisis
in
in
north
san
jose
and
and
if
you
don't
think,
it's
real.
I
urge
you,
council
members
to
go
to
one
of
the
projects
in
your
area
and
talk
to
some
of
the
members
on
these
residential
job
sites.
A
It
is
a
real
thing
and,
and
we
would
like
to
see
it
funded,
so
I
would
urge
you
to
to
please
vote
to
fully
support
the
city.
Manager's
funding
to
staff
up
wage
staff
enforcement
in
the
office
of
equality
assurance
and
to
partner
with
the
the
county
office
of
labor
standards
enforcement
and
its
grassroots
network
of
workers
rights
outreach.
So
we
can
prevent
wage
theft
before
it
happens.
Thank
you.
A
B
A
A
Please
vote
to
fully
support
the
city,
manager's
funding,
to
restore
recruitment
and
retention
staff
in
human
resources
and
to
commit
to
a
more
comprehensive
strategy
working
with
city
unions
and
communities
to
expand
the
number
and
diversity
of
applicants,
improve
hiring
from
underrepresented
communities
and
improve
retention
and
investment
advancement
of
city
workers.
Thank
you.
M
M
A
A
A
lot
of
our
members
from
our
union
work,
two
jobs
and
with
the
cost
of
living
constantly
rising
with
the
cost
of
gas
constantly
rising,
is
an
absolute
insult
to
imp
to
workers
who
make
the
city
run
every
day
to
be
stealing
their
wages.
You
know
our
our
you
know
the
average
working
class
person.
If
you
go
into
safeway
and
you
shoplift
a
gallon
of
milk
worth.
A
You
know
six
dollars,
you
you'll
probably
go
to
jail
and
you'll
get
a
criminal
record,
but
employers
can
get
away
with
skimming
off
of
hundreds
or
thousands
of
dollars
from
workers,
hard
earned
money.
So
we,
you
know,
we
suggest
to
support
the
essential
workers
council's
budget
recommendation.
Thank
you.
So
much
don.
A
A
A
B
A
D
A
A
A
Looking
for
that
better
way
of
life,
only
to
find
out
that
it's
expensive
as
heck
to
live
here,
they're
living
in
you
know
horrendous
situations,
one
bedroom,
10
people,
I
mean
it's
and
they're
still
going
to
work
and
they're
still
being
exploited
and
what
we.
What
we're
asking
for
is
that
city
council
really
just
focuses
on
this
workers
recovery
budget
and
that
they
they
put
something
together.
Where.
A
People
could
be
held
accountable,
companies
could
be
held
accountable
and
that
there's
just
better
standards
for
if
you're
gonna
come
work
in
silicon
valley
that
there's
a
standard
that
we
are
pushing
for
all
workers
in
private
and
in
public
sector.
So
that
way
people
be
excited
to
come
to
work
and
give
their
all
and
not
feel
like
hey.
You
know
what
today's
my
last
day
or
whatever
there
has
to
be
some
some
security.
N
A
P
E
Thank
you.
I
want
to
thank
many
members
of
the
community
who
came
to
speak.
I
know
we're
going
to
continue
to
have
these
public
hearings
going
forward
until
our
final
decision
comes
in
june,
we've
already
had
a
couple
of
community
meetings
out
in
community
centers,
actually
one
community
center.
So
far,
council
member
foley's
district,
two
more
are
coming
up,
and
I
want
to
encourage
folks
to
join
us
if
they
like
to
talk
in
greater
detail
about
the
budget
and
its
implications.
E
That's
in,
I
think
in
council
member
sparta's
district
and
then
next
to
monday
the
23rd
of
may
from
6
to
8
pm
at
mexican
heritage
plaza
we'll
also
be
streaming
that
through
facebook
and
folks
can
participate
on
zoom
as
well.
So
I
want
to
encourage
folks
to
learn
more.
You
can
go
to
sjmayor.org
forward,
slash
budget
to
be
able
to
get
zoom
information
to
get
on
those
hearings
or
there's
meetings
rather
than
to
be
able
to
participate.
E
I
think
it's
a
recognition,
a
severe
staff
situation
there
that
we
need
to
resolve
right
away
council
many
weeks
ago
approved
an
increase
in
veterinarian
pay
of
25,
which
I
think
is
more
than
we
have
for
any
classification
anywhere
in
the
city
to
address
the
issue
there.
I
know,
there's
active
recruitment
happening
there
and
we're
we're
aggressively
getting
out
there.
E
So
I
expect
there
will
be
forward
progress
there
as
well
so
appreciate.
There
are
many
concerns
about
resources,
particularly
most
important
resources,
which
is
people
who
are
doing
the
work,
and
I
think
we're
aggressively
responding
c
manager
wants
to
say
anything.
Okay,
we
will
our
assistant
say
management.
Forgive
me
I
will.
We
will
hear
more
obviously
about
the
budget
until
the
final
vote
in
june,
and
we
encourage
the
community
to
continue
to
stay
engaged
all
right.
E
K
K
K
So,
first
of
all,
what
is
a
long
duration
storage
project?
Well,
technologies
vary,
but
most
commonly
they
are
battery
storage
projects
that
store
energy
for
use.
At
a
later
time,
long
duration
storage
is
different
than
than
typical
battery
storage,
in
that
it
discharges
for
at
least
eight
hours
or
longer,
which
is
really
important.
As
we
look
for
technologies
that
can
meet
our
evening
energy
needs.
K
K
K
That
was
also
one
of
the
projects
shortlisted
through
cc
power,
so
we
still
require
about
10
megawatts
of
additional
capacity
to
meet
the
cpuc
requirements.
So
that's
why
we
are
recommending
participating
in
this
project
and
with
that,
I'm
going
to
turn
it
over
to
jean
soleil.
To
talk
more
about
the
project
details.
M
M
We
are
asking
for
authority
to
buy
up
to
20
megawatts
so
that
if
one
of
our
companion
ccas
falls
off,
we
can
pick
up
some
of
their
share.
If
we
do
that,
the
total
annual
amount
will
be
4.4
million
dollars
for
66
million
dollars
in
aggregate.
This
project
is
located
in
san
diego.
It
has
an
online
date
of
2025
june
2025
and
it
has
a
term
of
15
years
and
then
the
other
five
ccas
that
are
participating
with
us.
M
M
A
little
bit
about
the
agreement
structure,
it's
very
similar
to
the
prior
project
that
we
brought
for
you.
There
are
four
agreements:
one
of
them
will
be
between
the
cc
power
and
the
developer.
Where
cc
power
buys
the
storage
services
from
the
developer.
There'll
be
a
project.
Participation
share
agreement
which
lays
out
which
ccas
what
each
cca's
share
is,
and
it
also
lays
out
how
decisions
are
going
to
be
made.
Decisions
are
going
to
be
made
by
the
cc
power
board,
but
only
by
those
ccas
participating
in
the
project.
M
There's
a
buyer
liability
pass-through
agreement
which
allows
the
developer
direct
recourse
to
a
cca,
but
only
for
that
cca's
share
of
the
project
and
that's
required
because
cc
power
doesn't
have
assets
or
revenues,
although
it
will
maintain
some
insurance
to
protect
the
ccas
and
finally,
there'll
be
a
coordinated
operation.
Agreement
we'll
just
lay
out
how
the
project
will
be
operated
by
cc
power.
M
K
M
M
And
cpa's
qualifications
it
has
over
50
years
of
experience
in
the
industry.
It
has
a
very
strong
focus
in
california,
independent
system
operator
markets,
including
the
types
of
services
that
we're
looking
for.
It
provides
similar
services
to
other
significant
ccas
in
california,
including
east
bay,
community
energy,
sonoma,
clean
power
and
to
numerous
municipal
utilities
in
northern
california.
M
E
E
N
Great,
thank
you
blair
beekman
here
I
had
a
lot
to
say
for
this
item.
Thank
you.
I
guess.
First
off,
I
thought
the
measure
t
item
would
at
least
be
spoken
about
today.
I
didn't
know
you've
taken
it
fully
out.
Sorry
about
that.
I
guess
just
to
thank
you
for
this
item
always
good
to
hear
this
sort
of
item
the
future
of
long
duration.
N
With
that
said,
yeah
that's
an
important
goal
for
myself
in
the
future
and
how
to
think
of
this
issue,
and
with
that
said,
you
know
just
boy
a
good
luck,
how
we're
going
to
talk
about
the
future
of
renewable
energy
ideas
in
this
modern
age
in
this
age
of
warfare.
You
know,
we've
tried
really
hard
to
select.
You
know
when
exactly
will
we
use
with
when
we
will
use
fossil
fuels
and
cracked
fuels?
That
will
be
a
part
of
the
renewable
package,
I'm
learning
and
understanding
better.
N
We
have
to
be
real
selective
about
that
and
really
take
note
of
that
as
and
how
we
move
forward.
So
good
luck
in
those
efforts,
it's
a
very
cautious
tale,
but
it's
a
responsible
tale
that
I
think
we
can
do
well
and
we
we
made
those
early
good
attempts
and,
as
I
think,
we've
all
noticed
in
the
past
few
years.
Good
luck
in
those
continuing
good
efforts.
Thank
you.
M
S
S
There
is
actually
a
coalition
of
labor
community
environmental
and
ej
groups
who
have
been
working
on
this
since
last
year
and
cc
power
has
told
them
that
they
feel
they
don't
actually
have
the
authority
to
adopt
a
policy
around
their
procurements,
including
labor
and
workforce
and
environmental
standards,
unless
each
of
the
member
ccas
gives
direction
to
cc
power
to
do
that.
That
certainly
seems
something
that
is
very
in
line
with
the
goals
of
san
jose,
clean
energy
and
of
this
council.
S
E
I
just
had
one
quick
question
and
thank
you
for
explaining
this
so
clearly,
but
we
know
this:
the
batteries
physically
in
san
diego,
as
I
understand
it,
where
the
electrons
are
stored,
is
probably
less
relevant,
because
this
is
sort
of
a
system-wide,
I'm
guessing
the
sort
of
the
iso
kind
of
determines
ultimately,
who
gets?
What
is
that
fair
to
say.
K
K
A
E
K
E
And
certainly,
I
fully
appreciate
the
importance
of
investing
in
long
duration
storage.
I
can't
help
but
think
that
you
know
maybe
10
years
from
now
they're
going
to
be
laughing
at
us,
because
we
think
long
duration
storage
is
more
than
eight
hours.
When
we
all
know
we
need
a
lot
more,
but
but
but
I
think
it's
great
that
you
know
we
got
to
keep
buying
this
stuff,
and
my
my
concern
is:
is
the
time
when
we'll
need
it.
E
The
most
I'm
guessing
is
the
peak
hours
when
the
grids
under
the
most
stress
and
I'm
I'm
guessing.
It
may
be
the
type
the
time
when
we
have
the
least
likelihood
of
getting
access
to
that
same
energy
and
wondering
what
happens
under
the
contract
when
we've
contracted
and
paid
4.4
million
dollars
a
year
for
all
this
storage
and
and
in
the
middle
of
the
heat
wave,
our
residents
are
still
left
without
access.
K
K
Unfortunately,
our
our
residents
would
still
be
susceptible
to
those
shutoffs
because
it
still
connects
to
that
transmission
and
distribution
system,
and
you
know,
I
think,
there's
a
lot
of
effort
going
into
that
and
certainly
we're
supportive
of
making
it
more
reliable
in
the
case
of
the
former,
the
rolling
blackouts.
You
know
this
project
will
help
mitigate
the
risk
of
that
because
it
will
be
generating
and
the
california
iso
will
rely
on
it
to
meet
those
statewide
reliability
needs.
E
I'm
just
wondering
I
you
know:
I
promise
I'll
stop
after
this,
but
particularly
diablo
canyon,
going
offline.
All
that
I'm
really
concerned
about
long-term
reliability
of
the
grid,
or
at
least
the
medium
term,
and
at
some
point
does
somebody
compensate
our
ratepayers
for
what
we're
spending
on
essentially
storage
services
that
they
never
may
never
benefit
from.
K
Yeah
so
so
rate
payers,
you
know,
you
know,
bear
the
the
cost
of
the
electrical
system.
I
I
guess
where
I'm
a
little
bit
confused
with
the
question
they
are
benefiting
for
it,
so
this
particular
project
they
would
benefit
in
the
event
of
you,
know,
meeting
the
load
in
that
evening
peak,
but
maybe
I'm
not
understanding.
I.
M
B
A
P
A
B
E
A
E
Great
thanks
everybody.
I
managed
to
skip
a
very
important
item
which
is
3.5,
which
is
that
portion
of
the
measure
t
thanks:
everybody
that
was
a
portion
of
the
measure
t
update
relating
to
the
250
000
allocation.
Is
it
subsection,
du1
and
2?
Is
that
right?
Yes?
Okay,
so
I
think
we
agreed
under
orders
of
the
day
that
we
would
consider
that
item
that
has
to
do
with
the
police
gun
range.
So
is
there
a
motion
on
that
item.
E
N
N
Thank
you,
yeah
measure.
T
items
were
mentioned
during
the
budget
time,
and
I
mentioned
also
that
you
know
the
metro.
T
body
was
trying
to
develop
ways
last
year
at
this
time
to
develop
better
community
outreach
because
they
wanted
to
develop.
You
know
what
their
programs
will
be
entailing
for
the
next
few
years.
They
worked
hard
on
issues
of
you
know,
bridge
overpass,
retrofitting
earthquake,
retrofitting
and
programs
like
that,
and
they
wanted
to
start
to
create
more
community
outreach
and
what
that
exactly
wouldn't
mean
and
it
entailed.
N
It
was
mentioned
at
the
budget
meetings
that
if
we
were
to
do
that
in
this
past
year,
that
there
were
programs
that
that
are
coming
up
now
that
that
that
needs
that
sort
of
exposure
it
needs,
it
needs
outreach
and
it's
not
getting
it
because
something
was
dismissed
in
the
past
year.
It
was
it
didn't,
go
through.
N
You
know
my
work
with
accountability
with
technology
and
everything
that
it
can
help
with.
It
could
have
really
helped
this
process
so
long
and
what
and
help
a
process
of
better
guidelines
and
oversight,
which
is
what
you
know.
Part
of
the
intentions
of
you
know,
measure,
t
and
and
open
public
policies
were
meant
to
work
together
in
the
future
towards
anyway,
so
you
really
missed
a
shot
in
the
past
year.
I
hope
you
can
realize
that
now
and
want
to
build
those
ideas
of
community
accessibility
for
the
future
measure.
N

Hi
larry
beekman
just
a
quick
comment
that
if
the
use
of
subsidy
and
the
talk
of
subsidy
and
the
openness
and
conversation
we
can
have
about
subsidy
is
applicable
to
this
item.
I
hope
you
can
be
able
to
discuss
this
sort
of
item
in
terms
of
subsidy
with
the
public
well,
and
it
can
be
an
open,
enjoyable
and
clear
subject
for
everyone.
Thank
you.
E
That
passes
our
final
item
of
the
afternoon
is
the
proposed
spending
plan
for
measure
e,
real
property
transfer
tax
revenue
for
the
next
fiscal
year
and
amendments.
The
spending
plan
for
measure
e
real
property
transfer
tax
for
the
last
fiscal
year
at
last,
two
fiscal
years
and
rachel's
patiently
been
waiting.
This
is,
I
guess,
the
third
in
our
series
of
public
hearings
on
measure
e,
as
required
under
the
measure
rachel.
Take
it
away.
G
G
G
The
city
council
previously
approved
the
spending
plan
for
20
2021,
but
since
that
time,
additional
funds
were
received
in
measure
e
revenue
that
exceeded
the
amount
in
the
plan.
So
now
we're
coming
back
to
you
to
adopt
an
amendment
that
will
allocate
the
additional
funds
that
were
received
during
that
fiscal
year.
G
G
So,
in
this
plan,
what
we
are
adding
is
an
additional
5
million
for
new
construction
and
a
land
acquisition
for
the
extremely
low
income
category,
we're
adding
13
million
dollars
for
hotel
acquisition,
and
this
is
specifically
tied
to
our
efforts
related
to
the
homekey
program,
where
we're
securing
state
funds
to
acquire
hotels.
So
this
is
our
the
city
contribution
towards
that
effort.
G
We
are
again,
as
you
can
see,
we're
using
the
new
allocations
that
were
recently
approved
by
council
and
and
we
we
are
breaking
them
down
into
different
categories
under
those
broad
percentages.
So
in
our
extremely
low
income
category,
we
are
going
to
be
funding
new
construction,
we're
also
funding,
like
I
mentioned
earlier,
the
acquisition
and
rehabilitation
of
hotels
and
we're
also
looking
at
acquisition
rehabilitation
of
existing
housing.
G
So
that's
another
priority
this
year
for
our
low-income
household
category,
we
are
setting
aside
10
million
dollars
for
land
acquisition
in
areas
of
the
city
that
are
have
been
defined
as
areas
of
opportunity,
and
this
was
something
that
we
discussed
and
brought
forward
as
a
part
of
our
conversation
related
to
the
citing
policy
and
we're
also
providing
funding
for
three
million
dollars
in
funding
for
first-time
homebuyer
program.
That
will
focus
on
creating
wealth
for
our
historically
disadvantaged
groups,
who
have
really
not
benefited
from
home
ownership.
In
the
past.
G
G
G
So
this
is
a
lot
of
information
and
what
I
wanted
to
do
was
really
highlight.
Where
is
this
investment
going?
How
can
you
kind
of
think
about
it
all
at
once
over
these
three
plans?
We
were
talking
about
over
200
million
dollars
in
measure
e
funds.
This
is
a
significant
investment
and
a
significant,
relatively
new
funding
source
for
the
city,
and
so
what
we
wanted
to
do
was
just
look
across
the
three
plants
you
can
kind
of
get
an
idea
of
how
we're
investing
this
money.
G
We
will
be
dedicating
89
million
dollars
towards
new
construction,
25
million
for
acquisition
rehab,
which
is
a
real
commitment
to
an
area
that
we
really
honestly
over
the
last
several
years
have
not
had
a
chance
or
an
opportunity
to
work
in.
We
also
have
22
million
for
the
interim
housing
construction
and
operations.
G
T
T
So
we
really
want
to
see
when
our
governments,
like
the
county
of
santa
clara
and
the
city
of
san
jose,
have
these
wonderful,
extremely
important
measures.
Like
e
and
a
we
want
to
see
you
leveraging
your
investment
to
get
as
much
affordable
housing
as
possible,
so
that
the
developer
is
truly
creating
the
most
benefit
for
our
community.
T
Are
you
building
as
many
homes
as
you
can
and
that
even
takes
into
account
construction
materials
we're
seeing
projects
using
things
like
mass
timber,
which
can
increase
the
amount
of
density
beyond
the
oftentimes?
Seven
story,
projects
that
we
see,
but
we
shouldn't
be
having
four-story
or
three-story,
affordable
housing
projects
when
we
can
at
very
least
have
seven
according
to
construction
materials
in
the
general
plan.
A
O
It's
it's
even
more
important
than
the
number
of
units
it's
going
to
keep
the
people
who
are
currently
in
neighborhoods,
keep
them
there
and
not
have
them
displaced,
and
when
you
are
able
to
keep
people
there
and
stabilize
neighborhoods
that
spreads
out
from
just
housing
to
schools.
It
makes
the
schools
better.
I
was
even
at
the
barber
shop
today
the
barber
said
he's
discouraged
because
he
can't
keep
his
kids
little
league
teams
together,
because
people
keep
leaving
the
area.
O
This
is
a
major
crisis,
and
I
just
want
to
point
out
that
the
preservation
part
of
this
plan
is
going
to
be,
as
has
an
impact
above
and
beyond
the
number
of
units,
and
the
number
of
units
is
significant
anyway,
because
it's
more
economical
than
new
construction
and
so
units
that
are
saved
through
preservation
can
be
both
economical
and
are
important
for
the
neighborhood.
Thank
you
very
much.
M
N
Hi
glen
beekman
here
thanks
for
the
words
of
the
previous
speakers,
I
guess
you
know
with
the
people
from
city
of
santa
clara
here
earlier.
I
I
I
hope
I
can
really
impress
upon
the
importance
of
what
I'm
understanding
is
as
what
can
be
mixed
income
ideas
to
yourselves
and
what
that
can
do
for
what
these
sort
of
questions
are
asking
about.
N
N
So,
but
yet
it's
not
really
quite
fully
taking
here
in
the
bay
area.
Yet
I
think
we
really
should
be
doing
some
important
study
session
work
on
mixed
income
and
just
an
awesome
flexibility
and
choices
it
offers
it
really
answers
the
density
questions
that
was
being
asked
about
previous
by
alex
shore,
to
put
to
house
people
of
higher
income
and
lower
income
in
the
same
building
in
the
same
neighborhoods
and
to
figure
out
those
patterns.
N
N
A
S
Hi,
thank
you
jill
borders.
Here
I
wanted
to
echo
what
sandy
said
a
couple
of
speakers
earlier.
I
am
really
for
the
land
acquisition
piece
of
this
and
I'm
really
grateful
for
it.
I
think
that
actually,
the
key
to
the
future
of
really
solving
any
kind
of
crisis
when
you're
talking
about
housing
crisis
is
really
to
to
focus
in
on
the
idea
that
we're
really
having,
in
addition
to
that,
a
stability
crisis
and
he
hit
the
nail
on
the
head.
S
Stability
is
going
to
be
the
key
to
a
healthy
community,
a
healthy
city,
and
so,
for
example,
I'm
gonna
give
you
my
own
personal
example.
I
moved
six
times
while
my
daughter
was
very,
very
small
and
when
we
were
finally
displaced
when
she
was
nine,
I
said
I
just
can't
take
this
anymore.
We
have
to
either
leave
or
we
have
to
buy
something.
The
only
thing
we
could
buy
is
a
mobile
home
and
I'm
proud
to
say
that
ended
up
being
the
perfect
solution
for
us.
S
Those
two
combined
be
the
only
answer
so
in
the
example
of
the
mobile
home
situation.
Sure
we're
having
all
of
this
issue
over
the
land
owner
versus
the
home
owner,
but
I've
had
almost
nine
solid
years
here
to
finish,
raising
my
daughter
and
that
has
been
an
essential
ingredient
to
the
stability
that
our
family
needed
for
a
healthy
situation.
So
please
ownership
is
key.
A
Working
partners,
along
with
other
partners,
have
worked
hard
throughout
this
year
to
ensure
that
measurey
is
in
fact
addressing
many
various
solutions,
and
we
like
to
also
express
our
appreciation
for
council
approving
that
homeless
prevention
funds
would
stay
exclusively
as
such.
There's
a
real
importance
for
having
these
funds
set
aside
for
homeless
prevention,
rental
assistance,
especially
as
many
statewide
protections,
have
expired
that
were
related
to
the
pandemic.
A
In
order
for
these
efforts
to
really
flourish,
it's
important
to
make
sure
they
have
necessary
resources
to
go
through
with
various
projects,
preservation,
preservation's,
an
important
piece
and
addressing
displacement
in
san
jose
and
has
been
identified
as
such
within
the
city's
anti-displacement
program.
So
we'd
like
to
again
express
our
thanks
for
having
this
being
part
of
staff's
thinking
going
forward.
Thank
you
very
much,
andrea.
S
Hi,
my
name
is
andra
portion,
I'm
the
community,
organizing
and
policy
manager
with
somos
mayfair.
I
also
just
want
to
echo
what
a
lot
of
other
partners
have
already
shared,
but
really
want
to
express
my
support
for
the
housing
department's
proposed
measure
e
spending
plan.
Specifically,
I
want
to
highlight
the
25
million
dollar
allocation
for
acquisition
and
rehab
again.
I
really
think
this
highlights
the
city's
commitment
to
its
anti-displacement
strategies.
E
G
G
Okay,
so
I'm
just
trying
to
think
about
how
to
work
through
this.
So
when
we
were
going
through
the
whole
process
of
you
know
just
the
recent
process
of
trying
to
reallocate.
We
realized
that
in
our
spending
plans
we
did
receive
more
money
and
then
that's.
Why
we're
coming
back
to
you
with
these
amendments
too,
which
is
it
feels
I
mean
you
know
I
feel
like
we
could
have
done
that
earlier,
but
we
just
we
really
kind
of
hadn't
established
a
process.
G
So
I
think
what
we
would
like
to
do
is
work
with
the
budget
and
have
the
budget,
like
the
budget
process,
be
our
mechanism
to
make
these
changes
right.
So
so,
in
the
annual
process
we
will
say
here's
our
spending
plan,
but
then,
as
we
as
we
reconcile
with
you,
know,
processes
like
the
annual
report
and
that
kind
of
thing
we
can
actually
see.
G
B
Me
jump
in
jackie
ross
from
the
director
of
housing,
so
we
did
feel
somewhat
of
an
obligation
to
be
more
specific
in
order
to
demonstrate
exactly
where
we
were
going
to
be
spending
money.
And
so
we
are
going
to
need
money
for
the
current
hotels
that
were
acquiring
so,
for
example,
the
arena
arena
hotel.
B
There
is
a
city
portion
that
we're
going
to
need
to
contribute
as
well.
So
I
think
part
of
the
and
I'll
go
I'll.
Kick
it
back
to
rachel
on
the
motel
budgets.
Are
we
planning
on
using
any
of
it
for
the
three,
the
two
sites
that
we
have
already
submitted
in
our
current
applications
and
are
there
future
hotels,
you're?
Looking
at.
E
So
maybe
let
me
jump
ahead
to
my
next
question
because
I
understand
why
you'd
want
to
align
this
process
with
the
budget
process
more
generally,
and
that
way
you
know
everybody's
paying
attention
to
the
same
things
anyway.
That
helped
make
sense,
but
I
guess
the
question
I'm
getting
at
is:
do
you
really
want
us
saying
that
the
spending
plan
is
all
those
details?
E
Wouldn't
you
rather
just
have
us.
As
a
council
say,
the
spending
plan
is
the
basic
allocation.
That
is
the
forty
percent,
the
thirty
percent,
the
five
percent,
and
everything
else
is
just
an
explanation
of
what
staff
intends
to
do
so
that
you
have
some
flexibility
within
those
broad
categories.
If
you
need
to
move
nimbly
and
take
advantage
of
an
opportunistic
situation
where
oh
wait,
we
can
go,
get
a
hotel,
let's
go,
do
it
right
now,
oh
wait,
we're
we're
capped
out,
and
we
can't
do
that.
B
We
can
see
forecasts
what's
coming
up
in
front
of
us,
but
measure
e
would
not
be
our
only
source
of
funding
if
we
needed
to
move
and
take
advantage
of
other
opportunities.
So
we
still
have
20
funding.
We
have
inclusionary,
we
have
the
commercial
impact
fee,
and
so
those
don't
require
this
level
of
detail
that
we're
just
trying
to
provide
the
public
so
that
they
can
be
assured
that
you
know
that
again
we
have
opportunities
and
commitments
to
spend,
in
particular
areas
of
interest.
E
E
I
guess
what
I'm
suggesting
is.
Is
that
we'd
have
essentially,
the
categories
would
be
approved
by
the
council
and
all
the
details
would
be
approved
by
the
housing
director
and
yes,
they'd
all
be
brought
forward
in
the
same
plan,
but
you
only
get
council
approval
for
the
broad
category.
So
that
way,
you
have
the
flexibility
to
be
able
to
move
dollars.
If
you're
in
that
that
critical
moment.
B
E
I'm
saying
go
ahead
and
break
it
out
and
that's
that's
up
to
the
housing
director
to
approve
that
breakout
and
certainly
the
the
the
council
could
debate.
Oh,
we
need
more
of
this
or
less
than
this,
but
and-
and
I
guess
the
council
could
always
weigh
in
if
they
wanted
to
right,
but
but
fundamentally
I
think
you
would
want.
If
I
were
in
your
shoes,
I'd
say:
hey
council.
I
want
you
to
approve
that
and
I'm
looking
at
table
three
right
now
as
an
example,
which
is
the
21
22
plan.
E
E
The
details,
I'm
going
to
show
everybody
right
now
as
part
of
this
plan,
because
this
is
what
I
is
the
housing
director
and
I
you
know
the
city
manager
are-
are
going
to
be
directing
these
dollars
for
more
specifically,
so
everybody
understands
what
we're
doing,
but
I
only
want
council
approval
for
this
stuff,
because
otherwise,
the
the
nature
of
the
procedural
requirements
we've
imposed
through
the
through
the
measure
are
just
going
to
leave
you
a
little
bit.
Hamstrung.
B
E
B
Thank
you.
I
think
the
plan
is
a
solid
one
and,
and
I
will
be
supporting
it-
not
sure
if
it's
going
to
get
emotion
and
then
modified
as
the
mayor
wants,
but
I'll
let
someone
else
make
that
motion,
but
I'm
more
concerned
or
I
just
want
to
raise
a
concern
about
the
future
dollars.
I
know
the
plan
that
there's
a
couple
plans.
B
One
is
spending
what
we've
already
received:
21
22,
but
I'm
very
concerned
about
the
economic
impact
of
2223,
the
inflationary
situation
that
we're
in
and
whether
we're
heading
into
a
recession
and
ultimately,
how
that's
going
to
affect
property
values
and
sales
and
transfer
tax.
Since
that's
what
where
this
pot
is,
so
I
don't
know
if
you
can
help
me
with
this
or
maybe
I
need
to
talk
to
jim,
shannon
about
it.
But
have
you?
Are
you
watching
going
forward?
The
22
the
2223
allocation
is
based
on
projections
of
income.
Is
that
correct.
G
B
And
I've
been
attending
these
realtor
meetings
on
a
regular
basis,
just
to
get
a
stay
in
touch
with
the
pulse
of
what's
happening
in
the
real
estate
market
and
in
the
residential
real
estate
market.
What
they're
seeing
is
a
slowing
down
of
the
market
property
values.
People
are
reducing
their
prices,
their
list
prices
and
selling,
which
we
haven't
seen
in
a
long
time,
there's
not
as
much
activity
in
open
houses,
so
there
aren't
as
many
people
buying
and
that's
triggered
a
lot
by
affordability.
B
Right
now,
I
I
know
affordability
of
a
1.5
million
dollar
house,
but
those
are
people
who
now
were
using
their
stock
to
buy
that's
their
down
payment
and
they
may
not
have
access
to
it
because
the
stock
prices
have
plummeted
in
the
way
they
have
in
the
last
few
months
or
interest
rates.
They
were
counting
on
interest
rates
being
lower
and
interest
rates
continue
to
go
up,
as
the
federal
reserve
raises
the
interest
rates.
So
I'm
really
concerned
on
the
future
dollars
the
22
23
plan.
B
The
other
thing
I
wanted
to
just
ask
a
question
about
is
that
when
we
passed
this
measure
or
or
we
voted
to
put
it
on
the
ballot,
we
put
a
trigger
in
place
where
the
minimum
threshold
of
2
million,
which
was
the
trigger
that
that
would
go
up
as
either
property
as
inflation
went
up
or
other
factors
cost
the
va
char
cause
the
median
price
to
go
up.
Are
we
tracking
that.
G
B
B
L
L
L
Thanks
mayor
I'll,
be
quick,
thank
you
for
the
report
and
I
know
we've
discussed
many
times
here
recently,
so
I
just
appreciate
that
we've
pulled
this
together
and
updated
our
measuring
spending
plan
and
glad
that
we
have
more
money
than
we
anticipated.
That's
great
news
all
right,
a
quick
question
and
comment
along
the
lines
of
where
I
think
councilmember
foley
may
have
been
going
there
and
apologies.
G
The
way
that
we
work
that
program
is
we
provide
loans
to
developers,
and
we
provide
that
at
the
beginning
right
at
the
front
end,
so
we
put
in
10
million
dollars.
Let's
say
they
go
ahead
and
develop
and
then
it's
their
responsibility
to
operate
and
pay
for
the
maintenance
and
operations
of
that
of
that
new
housing.
G
And
so
when
we
put
that
when
we
make
that
investment
at
the
beginning,
we
are
not
creating
an
ongoing
obligation
right
now
for
something
again
like
homeless
prevention
services.
Obviously
we
just
pay
for
that
and
it's
a
one-time
thing
we're
providing
help
to
a
family
in
a
time
of
need
and
they
receive
that
money,
but
that
doesn't
create
an
obligation
for
for
the
new.
You
know
for
that
same
family
unless.
L
G
Create
a
new
city,
employee
or
something
right
like
that.
The
one
area
where
we
have
done
extensive
projections
is
trying
to
understand
when
we
invest
in
an
interim
housing
solution,
how
we're
going
to
pay
and
operate
that
facility
over
time,
and
so
we've
worked
really
closely
with
with
housing,
with
public
works
and
with
the
budget
office
to
put
together
a
model
that
we
have
brought
forward
to
council
to
show
what
those
obligations
are.
So
that
is
an
area
where,
as
we
make
the
investment,
it
comes
with
an
obligation
to
operate
over
time.
B
L
Awesome,
great,
okay,
very
cool,
looking
forward
to
that,
and
then
the
second
point
I
had
was
just
around
thinking
back
to
yesterday's
conversation
of
setting
and
managing
toward
outcomes.
I
would
be
interested
to
see
in
in
the
future
when
we
look
at
a
spending
plan
like
this.
If,
if
possible,
the
estimated
impact
tied
to
an
okay,
I
know
we're
still
establishing
that
system,
so
we
haven't
really
built
it
out
yet,
but
I'll
just
share
that.
I
think
it
would
be
helpful
within
those
categories
to
have
a
sense
of
for
a
given
amount
of
dollars.
L
What
do
we
estimate
the
impact
to
be,
and
how
does
that
contribute
to
the
okrs
we've
set
in
terms
of
number
of
people
were
able
to
prevent
from
falling
into
homelessness?
People
were
able
to
transition
from
being
unsheltered
to
being
sheltered
and
along
that
continuum
that
we've
that
we've
built
out.
I
saw
that
the
example
yesterday
that
dolan
shared
was
really
compelling.
It
would
be
neat
over
and
I
think
helpful
to
the
council
for
making
informed
decisions
over
time
to
to
see
that
connective
tissue
between
a
spending
plan
and
the
the
top-level
goals.
L
B
So
I
would
say
that
we
would
typically
provide
those
outcomes
after
we
do
the
funding
of
projects
and
so
like
on
all
the
homeless
ones.
We
will
provide
those
measurements
and
we
are
aligning
them.
We
were
the
ones
who
came
up
with
those
outcome,
measurements
that
you
saw
yesterday,
and
so
we
are
aligning
our
work
in
order
to
ensure
that
we
can
track
it
and
report
on
it.
L
E
B
I
I
Garage
conversions
and
for
those
folks
who
hadn't
adhered
to
a
permit
or
hadn't,
wanted
to
be
in
line
with
with
a
permitted
garage,
and
if
we
were
doing
something
about
that,
is
there
any
plans
for
us
to
include
garage
conversions
as
adus
are
are
typically,
I
would
say,
beyond
middle
class,
I
would
say
upper
middle
class
if
not
in
a
completely
different
category,
to
be
able
to
receive
the
kind.
You
know
a
loan
equity
loan
to
actually
build
an
adu
or
to
have
the
cash
on
hand
to
be
able
to
do
that.
I
B
B
You
know
we
did
submit
a
detailed
report
that
showed
how
this
would
impact
measure
e,
and
we
do
feel
at
this
time
with
the
change
in
the
percentages.
We're
certainly
able
to
continue
our
affordable
housing
development,
which
was
a
priority
for
the
housing
department
and
continue
or
to
invest
in
interim
housing
and
other
homeless
solutions.
So,
yes,
I
think
we
are
were
we
figured
that
out
and
we
believe
the
percentage
center
set
asides
are
sufficient.
I
I
Well,
that
is
very
disappointing,
as
we
are
both
being
strategic,
we're
trying
to
be
strategic
with
our
funding
so
that
we
don't
overlap.
But
I
know
that
the
work
that
our
housing
department
does
with
their
five-year
plan
is
the
level
of
coordination
that
I
trust,
so
I'm
not
too
worried
about
that.
But
I
folded
into
this
was
mental
health,
especially
at
our
interim
housing
sites,
and
so
I
I
I
guess
I
don't
know
what
else
to
say,
because
families
are
in
need
and
they
don't
wait,
but
but
I'll
move
on.

The
buckets,
for
example,
if
you
know
there
was
just
something
else,
knock
on
wood-
that
another
crisis
knock
on
wood,
get
some
salt,
throw
it
over
my
shoulder
and
we
wanted
to
put
80
percent
of
it
into
homeless
prevention
or
whatever.
We
could
that's
up
to
us
right
that
decision
as
we
just
tweaked
it
so
anyway.
I
just
wanted
to
say
that
I
it
just
pulling
from
the
prior
language.
I
think
we're
good
yeah.
E
N
All
right,
thank
you,
blair,
beekman,
here
we're
going
through
our
budget
time.
So
thanks
thanks
it's
another
year,
good
luck!
How
we
can
talk
about
the
next
year.
You
know
I've
gone
through
the
ringer
in
my
explanations.
What
I
think
can
be
possible
in
this
next
year,
what
what
is
not
possible,
possibly
happening
in
the
next
year.
You
know
I
I
did
not.
N
I
mean
I
2023
has
always
been
a
very
important
year
pivotal
year
for
the
future
of
community
energy
and
in
2020
they
were
having
statistical
reporting,
both
here
in
san
jose
and
in
east
bay,
community
energy.
That
suggested
that
there's
a
concern
of
something,
an
oddity
in
in
2023
that
I
try
to
make
understandable
here
and
to
question,
and
for
you
guys
to
be
able
to
hear
that
and
and
to
be
able
to
reply
to
that
it
can
give
you
a
way
to
reply
to
things.
N
I
think
and
get
a
sense
of
things,
and
I
hope
it
helped.
I
don't
know
if
I
was
correct
in
that
thinking,
but
lo
and
behold
look
what's
happened.
Putin's
come
on
with
this
war
effort
and
a
whole
new
questions
of
our
future
of
cracked
gas
use
is
now
up
in
the
air,
so
this
very
amount
may
well
have
been
the
plans
for
2023
there's
a
lot
of
new
questions.
