Hey
gare,
so
folks
could
come
on
down
while
you're
coming
down
I'll
just
talk
about
how
I'm
so
excited
to
welcome
principal
michelle
quilentang
and
her
students
from
captain
jason
m
dahl,
elementary
school's
music
for
minors
program
to
provide
our
invocation.
Today
they
have
to
walk
past,
not
just
one
but
two
really.
Cute
dogs,
adoptable
dogs,
music,
for
minors,
is
a
non-profit
that
has
partnered
with
bay
area
elementary
schools
for
over
45
years
to
provide
music
education
program
for
students,
helping
them
to
build
a
strong
foundation
from
the
many
benefits
that
music
education
provides
for.

Folks
at
rollo's
will
be
proud
all
right.
Thank
you,
ladies
and
gentlemen,
good
to
have
you
with
us
all
right,
we're
on
to
two
ceremonial
items.
First,
I'm
going
to
ask
councilmember
spars
to
join
me
at
the
podium
we're
going
to
recognize
and
commend
the
hard-working
folks
at
the
city,
san
jose
animal
care
and
services.
Division
and
they've
got
some
furry
friends
as
well.
E
I'd
like
to
begin
today
by
acknowledging
the
challenges
of
the
pandemic,
as
we've
done
many
times
during
the
past
two
and
a
half
years,
but
these
challenges
have
not
been
limited
to
just
our
human
families
and
communities.
They've
been
extremely
challenging
for
our
pets
and
extremely
challenging
for
those
that
care
for
them
all
over
the
state.
All
over
the
country.
We
have
seen
the
effects
of
both
increasing
adoptions
and
demand
for
animal
services
and
the
challenges
faced
by
families
who
have
struggled
to
provide
for
their
pets
during
this
incredibly
difficult
time.
E
A
national
shortage
of
veterinarians
has
exacerbated
these
challenges
and
we
know
and
understand
that
many
of
our
residents
are
frustrated
with
a
system
that
is
not
always
able
to
meet
the
enormous
need.
This
is
why
we
took
action
through
our
city's
budget
process,
as
well
as
more
recently
last
week
to
address
the
urgent
staffing
issues
faced
by
animal
care
and
services,
and
I'd
like
to
recognize
the
mayor
and
council
members,
davis
and
man
for
their
advocacy
for
more
resources
during
the
budget
process.
E
I
know
that
animal
care
will
have
a
new
medical
director
coming
on
board
this
week,
and
this
is
an
important
step.
One
of
many
we
are
taking
is
we
work
to
build
up
our
staff,
especially
our
veterinary
staff,
so
that
we
can
bring
back
spay
and
neuter
and
the
feral
cat
program
that
we
all
want
to
see
return
as
soon
as
possible.
E
E
E
K
Thank
you
so
much
councilmember
esparza
for
recognizing
our
tremendously
dedicated
staff
volunteer
and
rescue
partners
that
are
part
of
our
support,
our
animal
care
center,
the
animal
care
center
to
give
a
little
bit
more
color
to
what
just
happened
this
last
year.
They
took
care
of
more
than
15
000
animals,
including
dogs,
cats,
bunnies
and
even
turtles.
K
This
is
all
possible
because
of
our
committed
staff,
our
volunteers
and
our
partners.
As
many
are
aware,
it's
been
an
extremely
challenging
year,
as
councilmember
sparsa
discussed
for
the
shelter
staffing
levels
were
low
and,
like
other
shelters,
there
continues
to
be
an
overabundance
of
animals
in
need.
K
If
you
would
like
to
add
a
special
furry
friend
to
your
family,
I
encourage
our
community
to
look
no
other
place
than
our
animal
care
and
services
website
or
go
down
to
the
shelter
and
see
which
levy
that
might
be
the
best
fit
for
your
family.
Thank
you.
So
much
matt
kano,
director
of
public
works,
who
oversees
the
animal
care
and
services
division,
jay,
terrado,
animal
care
center
director
and
our
amazing
staff,
volunteers
and
rescue
partners.

a

1966
in
the
coastal
city
of
vung
tau

grew
up
in

took
the

arrived
in
the

despite
knowing
very
little
english
jenny.
O
As
a
newcomer
to
our
country
and
city
immediately
got
involved
in
the
community
taking
a
job
at

All
right
gloria
beacon,
thanks
for
the
meeting
today,
I
guess
for
us
to
thank
you
that
you've
offered
an
extension
to
your
zoom
hybrid
meeting
process.
You
were
going
to
cancel
your
the
zoom
portions
in
in
july
in
previous
months,
but
you're
continuing
it.
Thank
you,
as
I'm
transitioning,
my
life
down
to
san
diego.
At
this
time.
The
zoom
meetings
are
helpful
and
they
do
a
really
important
service
for
myself
to
continue
to
contribute
to
the
process,
and
I
think,
being
from
san.
M
Corporation
support
services
things:
you
started
a
new
process
of
wanting
to
talk
about
equity
in
data
collection,
really
nice
of
you
and
like
with
ai
services,
really
nice
of
you.
I
mean
it's
really
important
concept
at
this
time
and
you
guys
are
ahead
of
the
game
in
what
we're
going
to
have
to
be
talking
about
this
fall
and
how
to
talk
about
a
better
set
of
civil
protection
ideals
for
every
day
for
the
everyday
public.

M

Q
Q
My
name
is
mayor
council
members
and
members
of
the
public.
My
name
is
sulma
maciel,
I'm
the
director
of
the
office
of
racial
equity,
and
I
am
joined
today
by
members
of
the
co-creator
group
of
the
proposed
rec
round
equity
roundtable,
which
you're
going
to
hear
about
a
little
more
and
the
members
of
the
co-creator
round
table
are
carmen
bremer
who's,
a
community
advocate
and
echo
sanchez
flores
executive
director
of
the
national
compadres
network.
Q
While
we're
the
team
is
getting
settled
and
before
I
go
into
the
background,
I
also
want
to
introduce
my
colleague,
dr
andre
lockett,
who
joined
the
office
of
racial
equity
almost
a
year
ago,
and
we
are
so
lucky
that
he
chose
san
jose
to
share
his
personal
and
professional
expertise,
wisdom
and
experience
and
then
behind
the
row.
Here
we
have
andrea
trong,
who's,
the
racial
equity
manager.
Q
We
saw
this
as
an
opportunity
to
be
innovative
and
courageous
and
offer
alternative
options
as
such
councilmember
irena
shared
our
interest
to
do
something
different
meaningful
and
she
gave
us
the
green
light
to
explore
this.
Further
soon
after
we
convened
a
group
of
community
representatives
interested
in
shaping
an
advisory
entity,
we
then
proposed
a
structure
for
an
equity
roundtable
which
was
shared
to
the
neighborhood
services
and
education
committee.
In
january
of
this
year
and
staff,
then
researched
other
cities
refined
the
structure
and
presented
again
to
the
nsc
committee.
Q
I
also
before,
actually
I
go
into
the
themes,
what
you
find.
Basically,
the
results
of
those
co-creator
meetings
are
in
attachment,
a
that's
the
attachment
to
the
memo.
The
collective
work
has
resulted
in
what
you
see
there,
which
is
the
community
advisory
responsibilities
and
structure
and
you're
going
to
hear
more
about
that
from
dr
lockett.
Shortly
on
this
slide,
you'll
see
that
there
are
some
themes
that
emerged
from
the
meetings
with
the
co-creator
group.
Q
The
first
one
is
to
acknowledge
harm
and
trauma
from
government's
role
in
systemic
racism,
and
this
is
consistent
with
the
work
the
city
has
embarked
on
related
to
trauma-informed
resilience-oriented
culture,
emphasizing
the
values
that
are
meaningful,
long-lasting,
accountable
and
visible
support,
a
clear
defined
process
that
defines
roles
and
responsibilities
with
city
departments,
a
focus
on
policy
areas
with
desired
outcomes
and
leverage
the
city
spirit
and
dedication
and
addressing
transformational
change.
So
not
only
are
these
themes,
important
for
the
equity
roundtable,
but
it's
imperative
that
we
anchor
our
work
on
these
going
forward.
Q
D
You
good
afternoon,
my
name
is
carmen.
Brammer
san
jose
has
been
my
home
for
almost
40
years.
I
reside
in
district
8.,
thank
you
to
sulma
and
the
office
of
racial
equity
team
for
all
their
efforts.
This
past
year,
as
a
political
strategist
community
advocate
a
member
of
the
black
leadership,
kitchen
cabinet
and
other
grassroots
and
community-based
organizations.
D
D

Good
afternoon
my
name
is
hector
sanchez
flores.
I
have
the
pleasure
of
serving
as
the
executive
director
of
the
national
compadres
network,
I'm
a
resident
here
in
san
jose
for
nearly
20.
Actually
now,
nearly
22
years
when
we
were
approached
by
zulma
and
her
team,
the
approach
was
similar
that
then
other
communities
across
the
country
have
engaged
me
and
the
organization-
and
I
harbor
the
same
concerns
that
that
ms
brammer
was
highlighting
is:
are
we
going
to
go
an
inch
deep
and
a
mile
wide?
G
Q
R
R
The
scope
outline
on
this
slide
was
developed,
with
a
central
function
being
to
provide
feedback
and
recommendations
on
three
to
five
projects
within
the
city's
enterprise
roadmap
priority
areas
per
fiscal
year,
but
also
with
the
flexibility
to
make
recommendations
based
on
emerging
issues
within
the
communities
and
identity
groups.
They
have
lived,
experienced
and
represent
next
slide.
Please.
R
R
The
process
the
selection
process
will
begin
with
ore,
identifying
a
diverse
group
of
community
members,
city
administration
and
departmental
leadership
to
support
the
development
of
application
questions
and
ultimately
serve
as
applicant
evaluator
evaluators,
who
will
determine
membership
appointment
next
slide.
Please.
R
R
R
Q
Thank
you,
dr
lockett,
so
a
little
bit
about
the
timeline
and
where
we're
at
now
so
in
partnership
with
community
representatives,
we,
the
office
of
racial
equity,
are
eager
to
develop
and
implement
a
meaningful
advisory
body
that
will
engage
community
members
and
support
the
advancement
of
racial
equity
in
the
city
organization.
The
office
of
racial
equity
is
grateful
for
the
collaboration
with
community
partners
and
the
support
of
the
neighborhood
services
and
education
committee
in
moving
forward
with
an
alternative
model
that
embraces
the
values
of
diversity,
equity
and
inclusion.
Q
We
want
to
adopt
a
continuous
learning
and
adaptive
approach.
The
scope
of
this
body
will
include
providing
input,
feedback
and
guidance
on
three
specific
projects
within
the
city's
initiatives:
roadmap:
priority
areas
per
fiscal
year
with
the
flexibility
to
provide
recommendations
outside
of
the
scope
based
on
emerging
issues
within
the
communities.
Q
So
what
this
is
is
the
advisory
to
the
city
administration.
What
it's?
Not
it's,
not
a
acted
body.
What
it
is
it's
an
opportunity
to
consider
community
experience,
perspectives
and
insights.
What
it's
not
it's,
not
a
place
to
load
the
responsibility
for
problem
solving
all
inequities
in
the
city,
what
it
is
it's
an
opportunity
to
work
with
select
departments
on
select
projects
in
a
meaningful
and
proactive
way.
Q
N
Thank
you,
mayor
council.
I
just
want
to
make
one
clarification
on
our
presentation
that
the
direction
to
align
the
scope
and
work
of
the
human
services
commission
with
the
work
of
the
office
of
racial
equity
was
directed
and
approved
by
the
entire
council.
I
just
want
to
make
that
one
clarification.
C
C
That
is
correct
right,
because
that
would
be
a
violation
of
section
411
of
the
city
charter,
yes,
and
and-
and
so
we,
the
the
way
the
memo
was
written
incorrectly
implies
that,
and
so
I
just
want
to
clarify
that
yeah
there
was
a
a
memo
submitted
by
councilman
rodriguez
approved
by
the
entire
american
council,
and
so
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
all
that
is
clear
and
open
up.
Thank
you
angel,
thank
you
and
thank
you
so
much.
C
G
This
is
the
right
item
or
not.
I
was
in
another
meeting.
I
support
the
staff
recommendation.
I
thank
them
for
the
work
they've
done.
I
applaud
their
efforts
to
work
with
vendors
at
la
pulga
to
understand
better
how
their
businesses
work
and
the
importance
of
the
market
to
the
community
and
the
vendors.
G
G
D
M
Blair
beekman
here,
hopefully
katherine
hedges,
can
be
allowed
her
additional
minute,
so
to
speak,
it
was
nice
to
hear
her
voice.
I
wanted
to
offer
that
that
you
want
people
with
real
experiences
as
part
of
the
future
of
this
roundtable
that
its
name,
you
want
to
change.
Possibly
thank
you
for
that
and
from
that
I
hope
that
you
know
you
can.
It
can
be
okay
to
say
the
words
you
know,
mobility
and
and
the
unhounds
and
how
they
can
be
a
part.
M
A
full
part
of
this
roundtable
process,
they're
a
bit
kind
of
tucked
away
in
the
back
they're
not
openly
invited
up
front,
and
I
I
I
hope
we
can
learn
how
to
do
that.
Better
is
from
that.
You
know
at
this
time.
Last
year
there
was
a
lot
of
commission
openings
available
and
I
think
we
were
all
waiting
for
the
time
that
people
from
mobility
in
the
unhoused
could
be
placed
on
the
many
san
jose
city
commissions,
and
I
don't
quite
know
what
happened
with
that.
M
M
I
hope
you
can
do
that
for
the
commission
process.
It's
obviously
an
important
item
really
good
luck:
how
to
work
on
that
issue.
It's
a
long-standing
issue
and
to
have
some
completion
on.
It
would
be
great.
I
think
we
understand
know
how
to
do
it
now
and
like
what
I
said
before.
I
think
we
really
have
to
address
english-only
laws
and
their
problems.
The
zoom
meetings
at
three
hundred
dollars
for
each
interpreter,
two
hundred
dollars
an
hour,
that's
absurd
and
that's
based
on
basically
english
only
laws.
M
C
F
Thank
you.
I
want
to
just
first
of
all
thank
you
both
for
coming
in
and
presenting
carmen
and
mr
lopez
flores.
I'm
sorry
sanchez
flores
excuse
me
for
coming
in
and
sharing
your
experience,
not
only
your
experience
with
this
advisory
group,
but
your
the
life
experience
and
that
you've
accumulated
so
far
that
really
will
help
inform
how
to
build
equity
and
how
to
keep
how
to
keep
our
finger
on
the
pulse
really
right,
and
so
I
I'm
I'm
really
grateful
for
that.
It
it.
F
It's
wonderful
that
we
have
folks
like
you
in
our
community
that
can
do
this,
but
not
everybody
can
right.
Not
everybody
can
make
every
meeting
that
everybody
can
make
every
appearance,
and
so
I
really
am
really
proud
of
of
the
equity
stipend,
the
stipend
that
you've
established
in
the
equity
considerations
that
go
along
with
that.
F
Is
that
something
that
you
think
we
could
expand
on
or
standardize
how?
How
would
we
work
that
out?
I
guess
jennifer
if,
if,
if
there's
a
standard
that
ore
is,
is
working
on,
it
finds
it
suitable
for
community
participation.
Isn't
that
telling
us
that
we're
indicating
that
we
should
move
in
that
direction
so.
K
Actually,
we
have
staff
looking
at
this,
so
we
can
be
consistent
with
all
of
our
bodies
that
come
that
we
asked
to
do
work
for
the
city
and
you
know
generally
go.
You
know,
I
think
the
previous
direction
when
we
were
talking
about
the
charter
and
things
that
that
is,
is
definitely
for
people
in
need
that
it
becomes
a
barrier
for
their
participation.
K
F
Perfect,
wonderful,
you
know
this.
This
came
in,
so
you've
already
described
how
we
got
here,
and
it
certainly
wasn't
only
me.
It
was
all
of
our
council
that
supported
the
direction
in
a
memo,
and
it
was
really
truly
out
of
frustration
of
not
seeing
that
human
services
commission
meet
and
not
have
enough
quorum.
F
I
have
two
questions.
One
is
is
how
are
you
going
to
ensure-
and
I
know,
there's
there's
going
to
be
iterations
of
this
group
composition
and
you're,
going
to
have
lessons
learned
and
you're
going
to
figure
out
whether
you
need
you
know,
80
of
the
people
there
or
20
or
whatever,
that
that
that
minimum
is
for
you.
F
Q
So
you're
right
about
the
attendance
is
important.
Participation
is
important
and
what's
new
about
this,
is
that
it's
not
a
brown
acted
body,
so
we
can
decide
what
is
going
to
work
best
for
a
community,
maybe
it's
weekends.
On
the
morning.
Maybe
it's
providing
child
care
while
they're
arriving.
How
do
we
make
this
easy.
D
F
F
That
is
wonderful.
I'm
really
excited
to
learn
from
that,
because
it'll
help
us
figure
out
how
to
bring
in
our
community
in
a
more
meaningful
way
in
a
more
considerate
way
and
and
ensure
that
equity
that
we've
all
been
talking
about.
The
the
last
thing
is
at
the
human
services
commission.
I
know
that
they
had
some
projects
or
some
outcomes
that
they
needed
to
produce.
F
Q
Yeah,
I
think
that
actually,
that
was
one
of
the
challenges
with
the
human
services
commission
was
that
the
scope
was
so
broad
and
very
general.
It
didn't
have
a
defined
scope
of
of
activities
that
the
commission
should
look
at.
It
was
sort
of
a
pass-through
for
a
variety
of
things
that
perhaps
departments
felt
like
would
fit
there
that
and
that's
part
of
why
people
started
showing
up,
because
it
was
just
much
too
broad
what
we're.
D
Q
Here
is
that
this
is
working
upstream,
so
it's
not
just
a
pass
through
to
get
you
know,
a
presentation
on
a
program
or
a
policy,
but
that
there's
meaningful
engagement
upstream
and
prior
to
getting
to
that.
You
know
to
decision
making.
So
I
hope
I've
answered
your
question
about
the
broadness
of
it.
There
wasn't
when
we
think
about
the
scope
of
human
services.
Commission.
It
probably
touched
to
all
the
intersectional
items
that
would
be
seen
by
a
body
like
this
anyway,.
F
F
Sorry
I
was
checking
in
with
a
colleague
who
was
fact
checking
on
my
end,
so
apologize
for
the
pause.
Well,
listen!
I
I
think
this
is.
This
is
really
wonderful.
I
am
really
excited
to
see
who
finally
gets
to
sit
and
be
part
of
this
advisory
group
and
also
the
name
I
I
vote
for
san
jose
for
all,
but
you
know
I
know
we're
not
here
to
discuss
that.
F
That
was
a
really
good
suggestion.
You
gave
last
time
with
a
list
of
names.
They
were
all
just
really
brilliant
in
terms
of
what
you're
hoping
to
accomplish
with
our
with
this
advisor
group,
but,
more
importantly,
with
our
city
right
that
you're
going
to
shift
the
way
that
we
think
about
equity
in
the
way
we
think
about
race
and
integrated
into
all
of
our
policies
and
what
we're
doing
on
a
daily.
So
I'm
I'm
really
excited
this
really
gets
to
the
nitty
gritty.
I
just
one.
F
One
thing
I
just
I
know
I
I
remember,
I
think
was
you
council
member
esparza
talked
about
having
outreach
and
and
making
sure
that
those
folks
who
need
to
be
at
the
table
that
we
make
an
effort
to
to
make
sure
that
they're
there
or
an
equivalent
and
so
so
anyways.
I.
I
really
wish
you
well
in
in
in
this
endeavor
and
I'm
really
excited
to
see.
What's
on
the
other
side
and
and
I
I'm
going
to
make
a
motion
to
prove
the
report.
Second.
E
E
I
had
three
points
that
I
wanted
to
reiterate,
and
so
I
brought
up
nse
I'll
bring
them
up
again.
One
is
a
three-week
application
period
is
pretty
short,
and
so
I'm
just
going
to
ask
that
we
we
conduct
our
extensive
outreach
and
if
we
need
to
extend
it,
we
need
to
extend
it
and
that's
just
what
we
need
to
do.
The
the
this
work
in
this
body
is
too
important,
and
I
know
we
have
timelines,
but
you
know
like
I
said
this
is
too
important.
E
I
also
wanted
to
reiterate
what
I
had
said
in
committee,
which
is
to
ask
that
we
also
look
at
geographic
coverage,
we're
181
square
miles.
Our
city
is
incredibly
diverse
and
the
experience
of
folks
living
in
the
different
neighborhoods
is
incredibly
diverse,
and
we
need
folks
to
bring
those
experiences
with
them,
and
I
also
lastly
had
a
question
for
the
city
manager.
Councilmember
anas
had
brought
this
up
before
about
our
stipend
policy,
and
you
mentioned
that
rosalind
is
working
on
it.
E
I
I
just
wanted
to
expand
on
that
a
little
bit
in
the
charter
commission.
It
actually
became
an
issue.
I
know
that
some
of
the
commissioners
were
talking
about
a
stipend.
You
know.
On
the
one
hand,
we
really
want
folks
in
our
diverse
communities
to
participate,
and
on
the
other
hand,
these
meetings
can
take
quite
a
commitment
and
and
without
even
looking
at
any
of
the
requirements
to
even
access,
quicker
internet
or
whatever
that
might
be
required
to
do
this
work.
E
K
So,
thank
you
very
much
for
the
question
so
so,
first
of
all,
yeah
we
don't
actually
have
a
stipend
policy
and
that
that
kind
of
came
up
like
we
were
talking
about
some
of
the
charter
review,
recommendations
and
other
things
with
the
housing
advisory
group,
and
things
like
that.
So
very
simply,
I
think
in
the
the
policy
that
roseanne's
working
on
is
we
we
absolutely
want
to
make
sure
we
do
not
have
barriers
for
people
to
participate,
and
that
is
an
equity
issue,
because
people
may
not
have
transportation
to
go
to
a
physical
meeting.
K
They
may
not
have
a
computer,
they
may
not
have
the
child
care.
There
might
be
many
reasons
why
there's
a
barrier
for
some
that
we
might
want
to
make
sure
that
that
barrier
is
removed
for
them,
others
that
might
be
participating,
don't
have
any
barriers
at
all.
So
we
want
to
be
very
careful
about
how
we
use
our
our
city
funding
until
we
are
actually
helping
those
who
need
it,
the
most
as
as
you
put
it,
I
think
within
the
next.
K
I
don't
know
month
or
two
lee
is
probably
when
we're
going
to
do
that,
because
we're
going
to
look
and
make
sure
it's
vetted
internally
again
with
our
office
of
racial
equity
and
others
who
have
these
commissions
to
make
sure
that
we're
thinking
and
being
about
all
the
different
barriers
that
could
exist
and
trying
to
address
as
many
as
we
can
so
we're
being
fair
and-
and
I
want
to
be
absolutely
consistent
with
everybody.
So
we're
not
favoring
one
group
over
another
and
we're
and
we're
being
even-handed
again
with
the
goal
of
reducing
barriers.
E
K
We
would
come
back,
I'm
imagining
to
the
whole
council.
Let's
think
it's
that
where
we
were
at
before,
we
can
certainly
run
it
through
a
committee.
If
that's
what
the
council
desires
either
way
is
fine,
but
I'm
saying
like
the
timeline
will
probably
be
if
it's
on
a
committee,
we'll
have
to
add
it
to
a
work
plan
vote
within
the
next
couple
of
months
to
counsel
after
we
can
can
do
that
vetting
internally.
K
E
Okay,
that
that
works
for
me,
I
mean
faster,
especially
as
we're
standing
up
all
these
committees
and
we
have
been
approached
throughout
this
year
since
the
charter
commission
ended.
We've
been
approached
by
folks
saying
this
is
an
equity
issue.
I
you
know
I
could
use
this,
but
there's
no
mechanism
to
do
that.
K
F
G
Q
That
is
correct,
councilmember
carrasco,
that
is
related
to
the
bill
of
rights
conversation,
and
there
was
a
gen.
There
was
funding
that
I
believe
was
directed
from
you,
council
member,
to
pay
for
a
consultant
to
do
a
gender
equity
study
and
the
human
services
commission.
At
that
time
they
were
responsible
for
drafting
the
scope
of
work
for
the
rfp,
identifying
the
consultant
and
providing
some
direction
there.
That
report
was
finalized
this
summer
and
we're
going
to
be
sharing
that
by
way
of
info
memo,
the
results
of
the
gender
equity
study.
F
Q
For
the
well,
the
study
was
completed
by
the
consultant.
It
now
just
needs
to
be
shared
with
the
department
and
the
city
administration
and
then
we'll
release
an
info
memo
that
describes
a
summary
of
that.
I
don't
recall
if
there
are
a
set
of
recommendations
in
in
that
report.
There
may
be,
and
then
that's
for
a
conversation
that
the
city
administration
has
to
have
about
the
feasibility
of
what
else
to
include
in
the
work
plan
related
to
the
final
report.
D
F
P
C
J
J
J
It
can
generate
all
hours
of
the
day,
so
it
operates
24
by
seven
generating
clean
firm
power
and
the
generation
profile
is
very
similar
to
what
we
call
a
base
load,
natural
gas
plant
or
a
hydroelectric
plant.
However,
this
resource
is
clean
and
it's
greenhouse
gas
free.
The
main
challenge
with
geothermal
is
siding.
J
So,
as
you
can
see
in
the
the
image
here,
you
know
there.
The
earth
is
hot
everywhere,
but
it's
not
always
hot
near
the
surface
to
heat
that
water.
So
in
california
there's
two
locations
where
geothermal
is
mostly
sited.
One
is
near
calistoga
and
there's
hot
springs.
The
other
is
the
salton
sea
and
then
there's
several
smaller
plants
along
the
california
nevada
border
near
mammoth.
J
So
we
participated
with
cc
power
to
put
out
an
rfp
which
john
solay
led
and
bids
were
due
last
december,
and
we
did
it
was
very
successful.
We
got
six
different
projects
or
I'm
sorry,
six
different
developers
from
16
projects
and
we're
recommending
proceeding
with
two.
So
one
is
a
small
project
from
open
mountain
energy,
and
the
other
is
a
portfolio
of
projects
that
could
generate
up
to
125
megawatts
from
ormat,
which
is
a
large
geothermal
developer,
so
we're
participating
with
seven
other
ccas
in
these
agreements.
J
L
That
would
assume
that
we
got
the
full
amount,
the
most
we
could
get
in
terms
of
the
location
of
these
projects.
Three
of
them
are
located.
Three
of
the
proposed
projects
are
located
in
california,
five
are
located
in
nevada
and,
as
laurie
had
said,
those
will
be
explored
and
if
they're
viable
they'll
be
proposed
to
us,
the
actual
online
date
for
each
of
these
projects
varies.
L
L
They
have
a
power
purchase
agreement
with
southern
california,
public
power
authority
for
two
projects
in
nevada.
It's
a
small
project.
Therefore
our
share
would
be
even
smaller,
2.26
megawatts.
If
one
of
our
cca
partners
fell
out,
we
might
be
required
to
take
a
little
bit
more.
So
we're
asking
for
authority
to
to
buy
up
to
3
megawatts.
L
L
There's
a
buyer
liability
pass-through
agreement,
which
is
basically
an
agreement
that
says
that
the
developer
has
direct
recourse
to
each
cca,
but
only
for
that
cca's
share
of
the
project.
And
finally,
there
will
likely
be
a
coordinated
operation
agreement
that
just
lays
out
how
we're
going
to
operate
this
project.
As
a
group.
H
D
C
Okay,
all
right,
thank
you.
Larry
keep
trying
we'll
come
back
to
you
if
you're
able
to
get
your
get
your
connection
online.
Let
me
just
one
question:
I
know
councilman
cohen
has
his
hand
up,
but
I
think
you
know
what's
on
a
lot
of
folks
mind
right
now.
Is
this
requirement
emanated
from
the
concern
that
diablo
would
be
retired
by
2025.?
C
J
Yeah,
that's
a
great
question,
so
it's
important
to
note
that
we
do
need
this
power
just
to
meet
our
own
energy
needs
and
ra,
but
we
also
expect
that
this
requirement
from
the
cpuc
will
stand.
So
there
is
an
effort
in
the
legislature
to
extend
diablo
by
five
or
ten
years.
It's
uncertain
what
they
will
pass,
but
it's
clear
that
it's
not
going
to
operate
indefinitely
and
the
state
still
needs
new,
clean
resources
to
replace
it.
A
Yeah,
I
just
wanted
to
thank
you
both
for
bringing
this
forward.
I
think
it's
important
when
we
bring
any
new
renewable,
clean
sources
of
energy
online
and
to
the
to
the
mayor's
point.
I'm
hopeful
that
we'll
keep
diablo
open
until
we
replace
more
of
our
dirty
fossil
fuel
sources
having
carbon
free
sources
is
important,
so
this
is
important
to
replace
the
carbon
intensive
forms
of
energy,
and
so
I'm
appreciative
that
san
jose
is
leading
the
way
and
bringing
more
online
it'll
improve
our
grid.
A
S
L
We
actually
would
use
these
projects
also
as
energy
projects,
because
they
have
the
advantage
of
providing
energy
over
the
evening
and
overnight,
which
is
a
good
complement
to
solar
right
in
terms
of
the
pricing
of
these
agreements
for
a
joint
energy
and
ra
they're
a
little
bit
higher.
Frankly,
the
cpuc
requirements
result
in
a
lot
of
buyers,
chasing
limited
supply,
and
particularly
geothermal
is
a
resource
that
there
is
what
there
is.
C
L
I
would
say
that
it's
an
important
piece
of
a
balanced
portfolio
when
you
look
at
the
amount,
it's
a
very
small
amount.
It's
like
20
megawatts
and
a
lot
of
the
storage
is
four
hours
eight
hours.
We
really
also
need
you
know,
seasonal
storage.
So
I
think
this
is
still
an
important
piece
of
a
balanced
portfolio.
C
J
C
C
M
Blair
beekman,
can
you
hear
me
yes,
awesome?
Thank
you
well,
thank
you
that,
and,
and
that
and
being
last
at
this
time.
Thank
you
for
the
report
out.
I
I
had
a
question
in
learning
this
process
in,
in
the
geothermal
being
from
nevada.
Does
that
mean
energy
things?
More
energy
packages
can
come
from
nevada
and
when
that
comes
from
out
of
state
that
tends
to
be
a
bit
dirtier
fuel.
M
Will
that
be
a
part
of
the
geothermal
process,
and
that
should,
I
think,
maybe
tried
to
question
that,
and
hopefully
I
I
I
did
that
a
little
more
bluntly.
So,
just
to
consider
you
know
what
I
was
trying
to
say
earlier
is
that
geothermal
energy?
I
you
know,
I
used
to
love
it
first
learning
about
it.
I
thought
it
was
this
the
end-all
be-all,
but
it
has
to
be
very
cautious
in
how
it's
used
and
used
sparingly.
M
M
I'm
interested
in
why
san
jose
doesn't
use
more
hydro
energy
from
the
northern
regions,
there's
interesting
ideas
of
using
hydro
from
from
central
america
and
mexico
at
this
time,
but
I
I
think
that
you
have
a
moral
position,
I'm
guessing
and
that
you
know
in
the
past
five
to
ten
years,
hydro
from
central
and
mexico
areas,
central
america
and
mexico
areas.
It's
very
questionable.
M
I
mean
a
lot
of
people
died
to
get
that
energy
going,
whereas
your
moral
stand
about
hydro
from
the
north
is
moral
issues
from
50
60
years
ago.
So
I
don't
know.
I
just
thought
I
would
mention
at
this
time.
Ebce
uses
a
lot
of
northern
hydro
and
that
really
works
towards
a
cleaner
energy
package.
I
just
thought
I
would
mention
at
this
time
and
maybe
something
to
talk
about
more
in
the
future.

G

O
G
G
Thank
you,
john
and
rebecca
good
afternoon,
honorable
mayor
vice
mayor
fellow
council
members
and
fellow
staff
and
members
of
the
public.
My
name
is
leo
tapia,
I'm
a
planner
too,
with
the
department
of
parks,
recreation
and
bird
services,
and
today
I
will
go
over
a
new
park
gaming
opportunity
for
you
all
to
consider.
G
Okay,
cool,
thank
you
so
just
to
get
you
all
geographically,
situated
with
the
site.
The
new
public
park,
which
is
still
in
the
development
process,
is
located
in
council
district,
one
near
the
corner
of
payne
avenue
and
eden
avenue.
The
parks
site
is
roughly
equal
distance
between
santomos
expressway
and
highway
17.,
and
just
for
some
quick
background
on
the
site.
The
1.9
acre
site
is
currently
occupied
for
by
a
former
church,
preschool
playground
and
community
garden
construction
on
the
new
on
the
new
park
is
expected
to
begin
later.
G
G
G
The
recommended
name,
pan
avenue
friendship
park,
was
the
highest
recommended
name
preference
by
the
community
and
the
name
aligns
with
the
city's
naming
policy
because
it
references
a
geographic
location.
In
this
case,
the
geographic
location
is
paint
avenue,
which
is
the
street
that
fronts
the
park.
G
For
contacts
per
city,
council
policy,
7-5
naming
of
public
facilities
that
are
not
streets,
the
city
council
is
the
final
body
that
decides
official
namings
city
council
policy.
7-5
provides
criteria
for
official
namings
staff,
finds
that
the
name
paint
avenue
friendship
park,
meets
the
criteria
of
city
council
policy
7-5
and
recommends
the
city
council
adopt
the
name,
payne
avenue,
friendship
park,
purse
staffs
and
the
parks
and
recreation
commission's
recommendation,
which
is
based
on
the
results
of
the
public
outreach
process,
concludes
staff's
reports.
M
All
right,
what
are
we
coming
here?
I
I
like
the
name,
I'm
okay
with
the
name.
I
don't
know
the
history
of
the
name
who
who
mr
payne
is.
But
the
word
also
says
pain.
P-A-I-N,
I
know
p-a-y-n-e
is
how
you
spell
it,
but
it
also
says
pain
and
would
people
be
in
pain
to
say
the
word
pain
sometimes,
and
I
just
thought
I
would
bring
that
up.
M
I
just
wanted
to
bring
up
also
a
thank
you
that
you,
you
are
bringing
this
to
the
public
to
ask
and
to
talk
about
your
park
issues
a
few
weeks
ago.
You
I
I
don't
know
if
it
was
this
item
or
it
was
another
park
item
that
I
think
was
in
district,
one
that
you
were
talking
about
and
paul
soto
had
mentioned,
and
I
think
he
was
pretty
angry
and
he
simply,
I
think,
was
trying
to
say
that
you
know
you're
doing
some
nice
work
with
park
issues.
M
Why
can't
you
make
it
a
more
open,
celebratory
subject
matter
and
me
and
paul
and
tessa
two.
We
all
worked
really
hard
in
the
past
year
to
make
subjects
like
this
more
out
in
the
open
and
talked
about
more
at
council
and
and
to
talk
about.
You
know
to
use
the
council
process
the
meeting
process
as
a
place
to
really
explore
ideas
and
not
be
afraid
to
talk
about
those
ideas,
and
so
good
luck
with
this
item,
and
just
congratulations
that
you
are
talking
about
park
issues
more.
Thank
you.
C
Okay,
I
want
to
congratulate
vice
mayor
jones
for
bringing
a
park
to
his
park,
starved
district
and
congratulate
him
in
the
community
and
thank
you
staff
and
just
note,
since
I'm
a
steinbeck
fan.
I
really
like
the
idea
of
west
of
eden
that
was
pretty
cool,
but
since
I
don't
live
there,
I'm
willing
to.
C
K
So,
first
of
all,
I
want
to
thank
staff,
the
present,
the
presentation
that
you
got
actually
was
kind
of
a
short
version.
This
has
actually
been
a
journey
and
I
know
staff
has
been
through
an
adventure
you
could
write.
Actually
you
can
make
a
novel
out
of
just
coming
up
with
a
name
for
this
part,
so
I
want
to
recognize
and
commend
john
and
your
team
for
making
it
through
this
process
because
it
was
very,
very
challenging.
K
K
K
K
E
C
O
O
O
C
I
Mayor
this
is
nancy
klein,
as
our
team
assembles.
I
want
to
note
that
rosalind
huey,
blagey,
zalalich,
laurie,
saborino,
adolfo
rouleas
and
nathan,
donato
weinstein,
are
with
us.
I
just
want
to
point
out
that
there's
a
tremendous
amount
of
work
that
we've
been
doing
with
the
vendors
and
this
action
today
is
in
line
with
previous
council
direction
to
ensure
certain
consultant
studies
are
accomplished
and
and
that
the
funding
for
them
is
appropriately
allocated.
I
T
T
There
we
go
we're
now
implementing
these
five
work
streams
in
support
of
this
goal
and
council
direction.
First,
council
directed
oed
staff
to
reach
out
to
engage
and
support
vendors.
Second,
the
property
owner
agreed
to
contribute
five
million
dollars
toward
a
vendor
transition
fund,
and
the
city
has
set
aside
an
additional
2.5
million
for
this
purpose.
T
T
The
advisory
group
will
provide
recommendations
on
how
to
spend
the
vendor
transition
funds
and
on
the
design
and
operation
of
the
5a
for
market.
Lastly,
council
directed
staff
to
study
the
economic
impact
of
the
market
and
explore
alternative
sites
next
slide.
Thank
you.
Oh
maybe
one
more
and
then
we'll
we'll
go
back.
T
Thank
you.
Okay.
So
in
january,
the
property
owner
submitted
the
first
500
000
contribution
to
the
city
council,
directed
staff,
to
use
these
initial
funds
to
set
up
the
flea
market
advisory
group
and
initiate
economic
studies.
The
actions
before
you
today
will
enable
staff
to
implement
these
directions
and
to
continue
to
engage
the
vendors
throughout
the
process.
T
The
first
action
is
to
authorize
the
city
manager
to
negotiate
and
execute
a
consultant
agreement
with
estellano
advisors
for
350.
000
next
is
to
rebudget
unspent
funds
from
last
fiscal
year.
To
enable
immediate
encumbrance
of
the
two
consultant
agreements
described
in
this
presentation
last
is
the
allocation
of
a
hundred
thousand
dollars
from
the
2.5
million
2.5
million
dollars.
T
The
council
set
aside
for
the
vendor
transition
fund
staff
proposes
to
use
this
funding
for
language
access
and
other
direct
outreach
costs
to
support
all
of
the
work
streams,
including
the
economic
studies,
advisory
group
formation
and
ongoing
vendor
support.
So
if
you
go
back
to
the
work
to
date
slide,
thank
you.
T
T
T
125
000
will
go
to
a
consultant
to
help
us
set
up
the
advisory
group.
Another
125
000
will
go
to
language
access
and
other
direct
outreach
costs.
These
allocations
each
represent
less
than
two
percent
of
the
total
budget,
and
this
budget
is
consistent
with
council's
previous
direction.
So
I'll
now
turn
it
over
to
adolfo.
To
summarize,
the
consultant
procurement
processes.
G
They
will
analyze
the
economic
and
cultural
impacts
of
the
existing
markets,
conduct
market
operations,
research
and
assess
the
viability
of
alternative
market
locations.
The
purpose
of
these
studies
is
to
collectively
inform
project
stakeholders
about
potential
next
steps.
This
contract
will
be
350.000.
G
G
G
Both
of
these
work
streams
will
include
reaching
out
to
and
involving
vendors.
The
vendor
community
is
extremely
diverse,
with
a
wide
range
of
languages
spoken.
Particularly
spanish
and
vietnamese,
effective
communication
and
engagement
with
vendors
require
the
use
of
professionals
to
translate
materials
and
to
interpret
during
meetings.
It
is
important
to
the
success
of
our
coordinated
efforts
that
staff
has
sufficient
resources
for
language
access,
as
well
as
other
costs
associated
with
inclusive
practices.
G
I
Thank
you
very
much
to
you.
Oh,
I
just
wanted
to
say
thank
you
very
much.
Team
staff
is
here
and
available
to
answer
questions
and
we
have
been
working
very
very
closely
with
the
vendor
team,
and
you
may
recall
that
estellano
advisors
was
very,
very,
very
successful,
working
with
us
to
create
the
opportunity
google
fund
for
downtown
west,
so
we're
excited
to
get
underway
with
the
estellano
team.
Thank
you.
P
M
M
I
think
I
think
it's
a
it's
a
nice
approach
that
I'm
sure
all
sides
are
scared
to
do,
but
on
on
on
paper,
I
think
it's
a
really
nice
idea
and
it
really
it.
It
invites
a
really
inclusive
future
process
of
the
future
of
the
flea
market
area
and
says
that
we
build
the
future
of
it
together,
kind
of
thing
and
that
can
allow
for
a
few
additional
acres
for
the
vendors,
and
that
would
be
the
real
way
to
go
about
it.
M
H
H
The
things
that
the
city
council
specified
as
conditions
of
approval
a
year
and
two
months
ago,
I
think
it
was
in
may
of
2021-
have
had
virtually
zero
effect,
creating
the
committee
creating
the
vendor
fund,
putting
oed
on
this.
All
of
that
is
going
well,
but
we
only
have
nine
and
a
half
months
left
until
the
owner
is
able
to
issue
the
closure
notice.
I
personally,
as
a
real
estate
professional,
believe
that
on
july
1st
2023
we're
going
to
get
a
closure
notice
from
the
owner.
H
They
have
not
agreed
to
put
anything
in
writing
to
the
to
another
extent,
no
we'll
attempt
to
or
commercially
reasonable,
or
you
know
we
we
hope
not
to
they
are
operating
as
if
that
knows
this
is
coming
in
on
july,
1st
2023
and
that's
how
I'm
operating
and
so
time
is
really
of
the
essence
to
find
a
new
location
for
the
flea
market.
Thank
you.
S
Hi,
this
is
alex
shaw.
Executive
director
of
catalyze
sv
organization
has
been
also
supporting
the
berryessa
flea
market
vendors
association
as
part
of
a
coalition
to
ensure
that
these
vendors
and
these
businesses
and
this
economic
revenue
doesn't
leave
our
city
and
that
we
find
a
new
place
in
san
jose.
For
this
wonderful,
60-year
tradition,
we've
had
so
we're
supportive
of
the
city
moving
forward
with
the
agreement.
Today,
we
also
just
want
to
re-emphasize
it's
been
14
months,
since
you
all
voted
with
those
conditions
of
approval
that
kelly
mentioned
and
we've
gotten
to
this
point
today.
S
It
is
good
progress,
but
it's
not
enough,
because
in
22
months
the
owners
of
the
flea
market
are
eligible
to
start
moving
and
displacing
the
vendors.
So
time
continues
to
be
of
the
essence,
and
we
have
a
critically
critically
important
goal
that
we
still
need
to
keep
our
eyes
on
and
the
eyes
on
the
prize
is
finding
a
new
location
or
securing
space
at
the
existing
five
acres.
S
To
ensure
as
many
vendors
as
want
to
stay
selling
in
our
community
are
able
to
and
we're
confident
that,
through
this
site
selection
process,
we'll
brainstorm
a
lot
of
good
ideas
on
where
this
site
for
la
pluga
could
be,
and
hopefully
we
can
keep
all
of
these
important
community
members
and
all
this
important
revenue
in
our
city,
helping
it
grow
and
be
a
place
for
everyone.
So
please,
council
members
continue
to
stay
involved.
S
G
Hi,
mayor
and
council
members,
my
name
is
roberto
gonzalez
president
of
the
berryessa
flea
market.
Vendors
association
am
here
to
support
the
staff
recommendation
and
I
want
to
thank
their
efforts,
all
all
the
oedca
team
and
for
their
thoughtful
work.
They
have
done
so
far
a
special
thanks
to
adolfo
laurie
and
nathan.
G
We
are
excited
to
begin
these
as
important
studies
and
get
to
this
moment.
We
support
the
selection
of
both
consultants
and
look
forward
to
working
with
them
and
based
on
their
track
record,
really
excited
to
see
what
the
work
that
they
could
put
in
here
with
the
barriers
of
flea
market-
and
we
know
it's
been
a
busy
morning
with
various
memos
dropping,
but
we
support
both
the
memos
from
cohen
and
council
member
esparza.
G
So
that
really,
you
know,
puts
the
importance
of
these
studies
and
the
creation
of
the
advisory
board
us.
As
an
association,
we
have
a
vision
to
have
a
great
open
air
market
that
can
house
all
the
vendors
of
the
city
wherever
they're
coming
from
and
really
put
vendors
in
that
driver's
seat
of
our
future.
G
G
It's
been
an
honor
and
a
pleasure
working
with
them
and
meeting
every
single
month
applaud
their
proposal
to
engage
with
vendors,
to
better
understand
how
our
businesses
work
and
the
importance
of
the
market
to
the
community
and
us
this
process
has
been
a
lengthy
one,
but
we're
happy
to
get
we're
happy
to
the
point
where
we
are
now
to
get
everything
started.
We
support
that
selection
of
both
consultant
teams
and
excited
to
work
with
them
and
get
to
know
them.
G
We
enable
to
the
new
new
mention
from
calcium
esparza,
but,
like
my
colleague
said,
we
are
worried
where
the
money
will
come
from.
We
hope
we
get
more
funds
added
to
the
transition
fund,
to
support
vendors
in
the
area
to
the
capital
market
and
overall
support
all
vendors
in
san
jose.
We
strongly
encourage
and
believe
that
we
have
to
be
as
much
as
mandatory
as
possible
with
all
the
study
and
that
are
being
undertaken
to
identify
the
best
possible
place
for
vendors
in
the
community.
G
Our
goal
is
to
have
a
new
site
where
all
vendors
can
have
a
space
to
sell
that.
That
is
that
this
study
will
look
all
the
possibilities.
We're
very
excited,
like
my
colleague
said
we
have
in
2024.
So
this
is
an
urgency
for
us
to
start
acting
now,
since
the
vote
took
place,
it's
problems
at
the
flea
market
have
only
got
worse.
I
know
at
least
a
handful
of
vendors
that
are
not
there
anymore
because
of
the
stronger
policies.
G
G
I
will
believe
the
injustice
and
america
guadalupe
and
we
believe
that
every
person
should
have
a
voice,
especially
their
small
businesses.
It's
hard,
it's
hard
to
see
people
getting
this
place
every
single
day
and
now
seeing
vendors
that
they
only
have
a
couple
more
months.
You
know,
like
nine
months
to
for
them
to
get
this
place
again.
G
Hello,
can
you
hear
me?
Yes,
hi?
My
name
is
lisa,
I'm
with
sj
makers,
and
we
support
the
vendors
in
everything
the
council
members
are
doing,
I'm
just
hoping
that
we
think
that
they
stay
engaged
as
the
owners
have
failed
to
communicate.
Our
vendors
need
to
save
space
and
their
spot
to
sell,
so
they
need
to
be
heard.
So
please
do
whatever
you
can
to
help
out
the
community,
and
I
also
would
like
to
circle
back
to
the
previous
person
who
was
making
some
very
good
friends.
G
I
also
agree
with
I
support
the
staff
recommendations.
I
think
city
staff
for
the
work.
They
have
done.
My
up
proposals
for
engaging
vendors
to
better
understand
how
the
businesses
work
with
the
importance
of
the
market
in
the
community
and
tests,
but
the
process
has
been
amazing
and
we
are
happy
to
get
to
this
point.
G
We
support
the
selection
of
both
council
member
teams
and
excited
to
get
to
know
them
and
work
with
them,
but
we
oppose
them
memo
from
council
member
esposa.
We
feel
like
suiting
any
area
of
the
city
from
the
studies
will
create
artificial
limits
before
we
even
get
started.
We
cannot
afford
to
exclude
portions
of
the
city,
so
I
would
like
to
let
let
the
process
in
these
studies
play
out.
G
We
strongly
believe
that
we
have
to
be
as
imaginative
as
possible
with
all
the
studies
that
are
being
undertaken
to
identify
the
best
options
for
both
vendors
and
the
community.
We
are
sensitive
to
the
thought
that
another
market
will
displace
the
capital
market
vendors.
This
is
not
our
goal.
Our
goal
is
to
have
a
new
site
where
all
vendors
can
have
a
space
to
sell
and
that
this
study
looks
at
all
possibilities.
G
G
Good
afternoon
my
name
is
jeremy
burus,
and
I
am
the
director
of
policy
organizing
at
amigos
de
guadalupe
center
for
justice
and
empowerment.
We
support
the
staff
recommendation
and
thanks
staff
for
the
work
they
have
done.
We
are
in
support
of
the
proposal
to
engage
with
vendors
to
get
a
better
understanding
of
how
their
businesses
work
are
in
support
of
the
selection
of
both
consultants.
G
G
D
G
D
G
G
G
A
Yeah,
thank
you.
First,
I
want
to
thank
the
everyone
who
came
out
to
speak
today
on
this
issue
and
the
various
vendors
flea
market,
vendors
association,
for
their
advocacy
and
work
with
city
staff
and
for
oed
staff
who
have
been
working
with
them.
It's
been
a
great
collaborative
process
since
last
year,
working
between
with
the
cooperation
of
the
vendors
and
staff
to
come,
come
forward
with
a
plan
that
I
think
has
given
the
vendors
a
lot
of
agency
in
the
process.
A
You
know
I
can
hope
myself
for
the
for
the
benefit
of
the
district
I
represent
and
and
the
vibrancy
of
the
history
there,
that
we
can
preserve
enough
space
on
the
current
site
and
there
might,
but
it
may
not.
It
may
work
out
that
we
end
up
having
to
go
somewhere
else
or
that
there's
some
kind
of
split
something,
but
we
don't
want
to
necessarily
make
any
decisions
that
are
going
to
affect
the
vendors
without
their
full
participation
and
this
study
that
will
decide
what
is
the
best
outcome.
A
A
Well,
I'm
not,
you
know
sure
of
the
economic
impact
of
of
you
know
where,
where
one
site
goes
and
how
it
affects
the
other,
I
think
that
it's
important
that
whatever
potential
solutions
are
comfortable,
come
forward
from
the
consultant
that
it
takes
into
account
how
it
affects
the
location.
It
goes
in
addition
to
how
it
affects
the
vendors
that
are
moving
in
order
for
any
one
site
to
be
successful.
A
I
As
we
began
this
discussion
in
june
of
21,
we
believe
that
having
the
report,
the
economic,
fiscal
and
cultural
report
will
show
the
value
and
help
us
raise
additional
dollars,
both
philanthropically
and
potentially,
additional
funds
coming
from
the
city.
But
in
the
most
near
term
we
ask
to
bump
the
scope
just
a
bit
to
make
sure
we
can
get
underway
as
soon
as
possible.
A
A
It
seems
to
me
that,
as
as
a
part
of
the
study
of
impacts
that
that
would
be,
you
know,
reaching
out
and
making
sure
that
they're
just
they're
included
in
that
discussion
at
that
stage,
if,
in
fact,
there's
a
location
in
that
district
nearby
on
the
list
that
that
should
happen.
But
it
doesn't
necessarily
have
to
happen
unless
we're
having
a
we
they're,
identifying
a
site
near
or
some
kind
of
combination
of
the
sites
right.
E
Correct
yeah,
you
captured
it
perfectly
so
if
that
site
makes
it
to
the
final
list,
then
to
do
the
impacts,
analysis
and
include
outreach.
So
that
again
we
don't
repeat
mistakes
of
the
past
and
we
make
sure
that
that
the
vendors
that
are
there
have
a
voice,
and
we
include
them
early
on
so
that
we
can
do
this.
The
right
way.
A
Some
kind
of
you
know
how
to
structure
it
and
then
the
third
piece
looking
for
locations.
Obviously
the
first
piece
you
know,
I
think,
there's
a
lot
of
inter
it's
a
lot
of
it's
an
interesting
study
to
understand
the
economic
and
cultural
importance.
I
think
many
of
us
who
have
experienced
the
flea
market
for
decades.
I
already
know
of
its
economic
and
certainly
cultural
importance.
I
A
Back
so
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
not
that
we
don't
run
out
of
money
in
the
overall
study
that
we're
going
to
end
up
with
the
outcome
that
we
want,
which
is
a
a
long-term
solution.
That's
going
to
protect
the
valuable
businesses,
the
individuals
who
work
there
and
the
market,
so
we
we
feel
pretty
comfortable
with
the
way
the
money
is
allocated
in
the
between
these
three
packages.
In
order
to
be
successful,
yeah
I'm
seeing
some
heads
nodding,
so
I
guess
the
answer
is
yes
on
that.
I
Absolutely
councilmember.
We,
we
have
put
a
lot
of
thought
into
this
and
believe
that
we
can,
with
this
scope,
achieve
the
outcomes
that
we're
looking
to
achieve,
and
we
have
very
preliminarily
also
been
talking
to
other
potential
funders
who
have
in
very
preliminary
form
indicated
what
kind
of
information
they
would
be
interested
in.
Seeing.
A
I
D
A
So
I'll
make
a
motion
to
accept
the
staff
recommendation
for
hiring
a
estellano
advisors
for
transferring
125
000
into
the
from
the
reserve
fund
and
allocating
the
other
125
000,
I
think,
is
the
amount
for
the
other
purpose
and
including
that
council
member
spars
memo,
with
the
caveat
that
it
basically
if
it's
necessary,
if
because
of
proximity,
once
studies
are
done
to
do
that.
Additional
work
then
make
sure
that
it's
done
as
part
of
the
study.
C
All
right,
thank
you,
councilmember
I
counselor
sparse.
I
I
see
I
I
just
want
to
jump
in
on
the
point
that
councilman
cohen
made.
I
think
it's
really
important
to
try
to
flesh
out
more
because
I'm
concerned
that
I'll
be
off
this
council.
Several
of
us
will
be
this
money
will
be
spent,
and
I
one
thing
I'm
certain
of
is
we'll
wish.
We
had
more
money
to
help
vendors
who
are
struggling
with
this
location
and
help
support
these
families.
C
I'm
not
certain
we're
going
to
wish.
We
had
more
studies,
in
fact,
I'm
fairly
confident
that
some
of
this
work
in
these
studies
may
well
be
forgotten
before
the
work
really
gets
done,
and
I'm
I'm
looking
at
this
and
I'm
hearing
very
much
the
sense
of
urgency
coming
from
several
members
of
the
community,
and
I
think
they're
feeling
that
sense
for
good
reason
and
I'm
thinking
that
this
alternative
side
analysis
is
critical.
C
I
appreciate
concerns
raised
by
council
member
esparza.
I
think
those
are
also
very
important,
and
the
public
market
operations
are
very
important
to
understand
the
economic
and
cultural
impact
study
which
would
comprise
more
than
half
of
the
money
that
we're
spending
here
is
going
to
a
slow
us
down,
consume
dollars
that
could
otherwise
be
going
to
vendors
in
their
families
or
otherwise.
Helping
with
this
transition
and
c
provide
a
study
that
I
don't
see
what
it's
going
to
help
us
decide.
I
don't
see.
C
I
have
spent
several
hours
out
at
that
flea
market
over
the
last
several
months.
It
is
immediately
apparent
to
anyone
who
spends
one
hour
there
that
there
is
enormous
cultural
and
economic
impact
of
the
operations
of
that
market
on
a
lot
of
families.
I
don't
think
anybody
disputes
that.
I
certainly
haven't
heard
anybody
on
this
council
dispute
it.
I
don't
see
how
a
cultural
and
economic
impact
study
is
going
to
help
us
make
any
decisions
any
better.
I
think
it's
going
to
produce
a
lot
of
heat
and
not
much
light.
C
C
I
Thank
you
for
the
question
mayor.
I
understand
the
concern
and
at
the
same
time,
knowing
what
and
how
we
can
best
support
the
vendors
to
understand
the
strengths.
Many,
for
example,
of
the
vendors
put
their
kids
through
college
from
the
revenues
that
they
earn.
What
are
the
assists
that
we
can
provide
to
the
vendors
knowing
better
where
the
strengths
are?
What
the
needs
are.
C
C
I'm
just
not
understanding.
Why
we're
spending
more
than
half
this
money
on
what
is
called
an
economic
and
cultural
impact
study.
That's
the
kind
of
study.
I
would
expect
that
we
would
do.
It
was
appropriate,
for
example,
with
the
google
or
with
the
oakland
re
development,
where
they're
trying
to
figure
out
how
much
money
is
needed.
How
can
we
best
size
up
the
magnitude
of
the
challenge?
C
C
E
G
B
G
Market
segments,
customers,
vendors.
The
reason
why
one
of
the
reasons
why
we
really
kind
of
want
that
is
because
it
could
knowing
more
about
this,
could
help
us
attract
an
investor
or
an
operator
to
any
future
market
model,
including
a
fight,
the
five
acre
urban
market
on
site
or
potentially
any
other
market
in
the
city.
G
If
there
were
to
be
a
full
or
partial
relocation,
we
also
think
it
it
can
proceed
concurrently
with
some
of
the
other
work,
but
it
also
can
help
inform
and
add
additional
value
to
the
other
pieces
as
well
as
we
learn
about
kind
of
those
market
segments,
the
customers
and
and
kind
of
all
of
the
in
direct
and
indirect
economic
impacts.
It's
not
like
analyzing
a
new
target
or
other
big
box
store.
You
can't
just
look
at
sales
tax
data.
G
C
Nathan,
I
I
appreciate
that,
but
I
don't
know
any
private
sector
investor
who
wants
to
look
at
economic
and
cultural
impact.
That
is
something
that's
significant
to
us,
as
public
policymakers,
as
as
public
as
representatives
of
the
community,
and
that's
something
we'd
want
to
know
before
we
made
the
decision
months
ago
to
put
this
at
risk.
That
would
have
been
a
good
study
to
do
a
year
ago,
right
a
year
and
a
half
ago
before
we
made
the
decision,
but
we've
made
the
decision
at
this
point.
C
The
broader
economic
and
cultural
impact
is
something
we've
accounted
for,
and
maybe
we
didn't
account
for
it.
Well,
maybe
we
did
that
poorly,
in
which
case
we
should
have
done
this
study
two
years
ago
right.
But
the
point
is
now
the
decision's
been
made
and
if
you're
interested
in
attracting
investors,
you
want
to
do
a
business
study
right,
a
very
narrow
focus,
because
they
don't
care
about
the
economic
impact
they
care
about
the
net
revenues
to
their
pocket.
C
If
they're
going
to
make
the
invest,
they
don't
care
about
the
cultural
impact,
and
so
I'm
just
a
little
concerned
that
you
know
the
consultant.
Industrial
complex
has
sort
of
laid
its
grips
on
the
city
and
we
rely
way
too
much
on
consultants
rely
way
too
much
on
studies
that
I
don't
see
us
utilizing.
C
I
look
at
the
studies.
I
don't
see
oftentimes
that
they're
using
very
I
mean
certainly
no
problem
with
estellano
they've
done
good
work
here
and
elsewhere.
Believe
me,
I'm
just
saying
as
a
general
matter,
you
know
I
don't
see
rigid
or
rigorous
rather
econometric
approaches.
I
don't
see
you
know
extensive
use
of
data.
A
Let
me
let
me
ask
a
question,
then,
along
those
lines,
so
this
we're
now
because
it's
one
vendor,
that's
gotten
all
the
rfp
on
all
three
of
these
items.
My
assumption
is
that
somewhat
we
can
adjust,
as
the
process
goes,
where
they
use
that
in
between
items.
One
two
and
three:
is
that
correct,
or
is
there
specific
dollars
that
have
to
be
spent
on
each
of
the
packages.
I
Council
member,
thank
you
very
much
for
the
question
we
have.
The
ability
to
allocate
within
estellano
has
assembled
a
very,
very
good
team
of
consultants
to
assist
and-
and
I
understand
mayor
what
you're
saying
the
one
additional
question
I
would
have.
I
believe
there
is
someone
from
estellano
on
the
line
and
if
so,
they
may
want
to
comment
just
to
share
their
perspective.
A
I
don't
I
don't
know
who
the
person
would
be
on
zoom
we'll
see
if
they,
if
they
do
that,
while
we
continue
this
line
of
questioning,
assuming
that
we
we
have
the
ability
to
somewhat
move
them,
move
it
around,
so
that
we
make
sure
that
the
most
important
parts
of
this
get
done.
Well,
I
mean
my
preference
would
be
to
leave
some
of
these
decisions
that
were
sort
of
skirting
around
right
now
up
to
the
advisory
group.
A
A
I
would
only
only
amend
my
motion
in
the
way
of
saying:
let's,
let's
make
sure
that
the
vendor
advisor
group
has
the
ability
to
decide
how,
to
you
know,
allocate
the
money
amongst
these
three
groups
and
maybe
reconsider
whether
you
know
what
portions
of
the
study
are
helpful
to
them
and
which
parts
you
will
need
to
the
full
investment,
and
that
would
go
as
well
for
the
25
000
extra
I
mean
it,
they
would
be.
It
would
be
their
final.
A
They
would
have
to
make
final
decision
about
whether
or
not
that
money
is
necessary
to
be
spent
this
way,
because,
ultimately,
all
this
money
is
meant
to
benefit
them,
and
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
not
taking
money
away
from
money
that
will
benefit
them.
So
I
guess
that
that's
how
I
would
maybe
amend.
A
You
really
have
the
benefit
of
all
information
as
they
make
the
decision
about
how
to
spend
that
money,
and
I
know
that
they
were
involved
in
picking
and
setting
this
up
in
the
first
place.
So
I'm
loathe
to
say
we're
not
gonna
we're,
not
gonna,
invest
the
money
that
they
think
is
necessary.
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
they
are
thoughtful
throughout
this
process
and
that
we're
you
know
that
they're
not
going
to
feel
like
they
ran
out
in
some
key
areas
later.
C
A
A
Oh
for
them,
no
I
mean
I
would.
I
would
ask
them,
I
guess,
as
part
of
this
process,
that
as
the
process
moves
forward,
that
they're
that
they
that
they
have
some
ability
to
reassess
the
the
use
of
the
resources
amongst
these
packages
so
that
they
get
the
best
use
of
the
limited
funds
that
they
have
to
to
for
their
protection.
A
Yeah
I
mean,
I
think,
that's
reasonable.
I
guess
I
you
know,
I
don't
know
what
the
process
is.
As
far
as
this
contract
I
mean,
I
don't
want
to
you
know
the
contract
requires
a
dollar
amount
up
front.
I
guess
that's
the
question
right.
Is
this
a
contract?
That's
a
fixed
dollar
amount
and
can't
be
adjusted.
I
A
That's
that's
right.
I
think
that
makes
sense
to
let
them
determine
if
the
study
needs
to
go
to
its
full
scope
or
can
be
adjusted,
the
scope
can
be
adjusted
as
it
goes.
That
would
be.
That
would
be
my
amendment
to
the
motion.
I
apologize
nancy,
I'm
looking
towards
the
table.
While
I
ask
these
questions,
but
you
didn't
realize
I
was
that's.
Why.
E
A
25
is
tied
to
that
piece
awesome,
but
I
think
yep
yeah
we're
giving
them
the
agency
to
control
that
and
with
dissent
and
knowing
now
that
this
point
the
money
is
limited.
I
mean
hope.
Maybe
if
there's
a
study
that
allows
more
money
to
be
brought
in.
That
would
be
great,
but
let
them
decide
that
as
they
move
along.
C
I
A
T
H
C
P
J
O
Thank
you,
mayor
city
council,
chris
burton
director
of
planning,
building
and
code
enforcement.
I'm
joined
this
evening
by
or
this
afternoon
by,
robert
manfred
deputy
director,
david
keon
principal
planner
for
environmental
review,
laura
miner's
acting
planner
four
in
development
review,
and
we
also
have
rachel
van
daven
joining
us
from
the
housing
department.
O
The
project
before
you
is
a
planned
development,
rezoning
plan,
development
permit
and
tentative
map
for
a
project
located
at
1975
cambriana
drive.
As
you
may
recall,
this
project
was
before
you
last
year
in
february,
for
a
general
plan
amendment
so
just
to
refresh
the
site
is
a
roughly
2.8
acre
site.
O
So
the
actions
that
we're
taking
today
is
a
plan
development,
rezoning
permit
and
tentative
map
to
allow
for
21
single-family
residences,
including
four
affordable
units
and
14
accessory
dwelling
units
on
on
the
proposed
site.
We
are
including
extended
construction
hours
in
the
project.
Description
from
to
include
saturdays
from
8
am
to
5
pm
and
then
also
with
the
subdivision.
It's
the
subdivision
of
the
10
acre
site
and
for
the
creation
of
the
23
lots
for
the
associated
properties.
O
A
draft
initial
study
and
excuse
me
and
a
mitigated
negative
declaration
was
prepared
for
the
project
and
posted
on
the
city's
website
and
circulated
back
in
may
to
june
of
this
year,
and
there
were
no
significant
or
unavoidable
impacts
associated
with
the
project.
There
were
less
than
significant
impacts
with
mitigation,
mitigations
incorporated
related
to
air
quality,
biological
resources,
noise
and
vibration.
O
Comments
that
we
received
on
the
initial
study,
included
traffic
analysis
and
pedestrian
safety,
affordable
housing,
the
density
bonus
provisions
and
water
research
sites.
So
with
that
staff
is
recommending
that
city
council
adopt
the
resolution
for
the
mitigated.
Negative
declaration
approve
the
ordinance
rezoning,
the
the
property
from
r18
single
family,
residential
to
r18,
pd
plan
development.
Zoning
adopt
a
resolution
approving
subject
to
conditions
of
the
vesting
tentative
map
to
subdivide
the
2.85
acre
site
into
23
lots
and
then
adopt
a
resolution
approving
the
plan.
E
H
H
H
H
H
H
Throughout
the
planning
process,
we
have
gone
to
great
lengths
to
design
an
attractive
community
that
meets
the
council
requirements,
while
also
addressing
the
concerns
and
requests
from
our
adjacent
neighbors.
One
comment
that
we
have
heard
many
times
is
not
to
connect
the
new
street
through
to
browning
avenue.
So,
as
you
can
see,
our
new
street
ends
at
a
cul-de-sac
followed
by
a
small
vehicular
court.
Followers
are
placed
at
the
end
of
this
court
to
prohibit
vehicular
access
through
browning,
while
allowing
pedestrian
and
cycling
access
for
privacy
and
compatibility.
H
The
edu's
on
the
opposite
side
of
the
project
adjacent
to
single-family
homes,
are
attached
to
the
primary
home
and
located
on
the
ground
floor.
Only
the
diagram
above
illustrates
the
area
allowed
to
be
built
by
the
city
compared
to
our
proposal.
As
you
can
see,
our
homes
are
less
in
height
and
building
mass.
It
further
illustrates
how
our
windows,
on
the
second
floor
of
the
units
on
the
facing
the
rear
yards
and
our
neighbors
have
been
reduced.
In
both
size
and
number
to
ensure
privacy
and
compatibility
with
their
neighbors.
H
H
Overall,
we
believe
this
will
be
a
wonderful
addition
to
the
neighborhood.
The
illustration
above
depicts
the
view
from
cambriana
drive.
Once
the
project
is
complete,
you
can
see
the
gracious
front,
porches
new
public,
sidewalk
and
landscape
for
community
benefit.
Again
the
project
offers
19
or
four
on-site,
affordable
homes
at
the
low
ami
level,
14
accessory
dwelling
units
that
are
affordable
by
design
and,
most
importantly,
funding
for
the
cambrian
school
district.
H
Yes,
thank
you.
My
name
is
samantha
shirishi
and
I'm
here
to
support
the
staff
and
planning
commission
recommendation
for
this
item.
I
have
been
following
this
project
for
the
last
two
and
a
half
years
when
this
started.
My
son
was
in
second
grade.
He
just
started
fifth
grade
and
I'm
hopeful
that
this
approval
will
give
the
green
light
to
allow
his
school
district
to
finally
access
a
critical
revenue
opportunity
that
is
desperately
needed.
H
S
Good
afternoon
council,
this
is
alex
shore
again
from
catalyze
sv,
like
mayor
licardo,
and
many
of
you,
our
members,
that
catalyzed
this
fee
want
to
solve
our
region's
housing
crisis.
And
how
do
we
do
that?
Well,
at
catalyze,
see
it's
by
being
yes
and
voices
that
shape
development
projects
to
do
the
most
good
for
the
most
number
of
people
and
we,
in
short,
rarely
oppose
projects.
S
S
We
don't
solve
a
massive
housing
shortage
by
being
building
single-family
homes
on
nearly
three
acres
in
the
middle
of
san
jose,
and
we
hope
that
the
city
will
and
you
as
the
council
will
find
ways
to
allow
higher
buildings
higher
heights
so
that
we're
not
approving
a
bunch
of
single-family
homes
in
the
heart
of
san
jose
during
a
housing
shortage,
even
at
80
percent
of
the
area
media
income
for
a
single
person.
If
it's
rental
housing,
that's
94
000.

D
G
Hi,
my
name
is
melissa
winchell,
I
am
a
cambrian
resident.
I
am
live
within
the
neighborhood
of
this
project.
I
am
a
member
of
our
school
district
with
one
student
in
the
school
district.
Another
will
be
added
in
there
next
year
and
I've
been
following
this
project
that
was
started
before
my
third
grader
even
started
in
school
here,
and
I
want
to
voice
my
support
for
it.
G
G
I
Hi
there
I
am
the
president
of
the
cambrian
school
board
and
I
have
to
say
the
previous
speakers.
Melissa
and
sam
were
banging
on
about
the
problem
with
stable
funding
for
school
districts.
One
of
the
challenges
we
face
as
a
school
district
is
the
state
controls
the
majority
of
our
funding
and
when
the
state
has
is
in
a
recession
or
has
a
lack
of
funding,
the
firs
one
of
the
first
things
they
cut
is
is
education.
I
So
we
have
been
looking.
I've
been
on
the
board
for
eight
years
and
we
have
been
looking
for
sustainable
revenue
sources
for
quite
this
time,
while
at
the
same
time
listening
to
community
input
and
what
people
were
willing
to
support
in
our
area-
and
this
has
been
the
compromise
where
we
take
an
unused
school
site
and
put
some
single
family
homes
on
that
will
bring
us
revenue
while
at
the
same
time
fit
into
the
surrounding
district.
We
do
have
you
know.
I
G
Hi,
council
members,
my
name
is
lalo
mendes
with
catalyzed
sv.
I'm
here
to
provide
comment
on
a
couple
of
items
and
10.2
is
one
of
them.
Our
members
are
residents
of
san
jose
santa
clara
and
the
greater
silicon
valley,
and
we
support
developments
that
provide
lots
of
homes.
As
my
colleague
alex
shore
stated,
we
don't
oppose
housing
developments,
because
our
members
understand
that
we
need
as
many
housing
units
as
we
can
get
yet.
G
Building
single-family
homes
in
this
land
really
does
seem
like
a
missed
opportunity
to
house
twice
as
many
people
we
heard
earlier
today
during
the
meeting
about
the
staffing
challenges
among
our
teachers
and
just
today
our
neighboring
city
milpitas,
the
unified
school
district
is
asking
parents
if
they
have
spare
rooms
to
house
their
teachers,
so
we're
definitely
in
a
crisis
council
members.
We
need
bolder
solutions,
as
our
families
and
our
teachers
continue
to
be
pushed
out
due
to
lack
of
housing
opportunities.
So
please
consider
more
density
on
this
project
than
any
similar
projects
moving
forward.
D
G
In
the
presentation
we
achieved
all
of
those
things
and
ultimately,
the
goal
of
this
project
is
to
provide
ongoing
funding
for
the
cambrian
school
district,
and
that's
really
don't
want
to
lose
sight
of
that
driver.
That
was
the
strategic
need
to
be
able
to
build
that
and
we're
asking
for
your
final
support
in
this
long
journey
to
be
able
to
get
that
realization
to
happen
inside
our
community,
and
we
thank
you
for
your
time.
D
G
Hello,
can
you
hear
me?
My
name
is
melissa
laycheck.
I
am
also
a
parent
in
the
cambrian
school
district
and
also
the
president
of
the
cambrian
education
foundation.
I've
been
working
with
the
board
and
with
the
district
office
on
trying
to
find
ways
over
the
last
five
or
six
years
to
increase
the
revenue
for
our
school
district.
G
The
this
deal
whereby
we
do
a
land
transfer,
would
enable
our
school
district
to
have
access
to
ongoing
funds
which
are
desperately
needed
in
order
for
our
school
district
to
maintain
a
sustainable
source
of
income
outside
of
the
government
funding.
As
you
know,
schools
are
grossly
underfunded
and
they're,
often
funded
with
one-time
money,
and
what
our
districts
need
is
a
constant
revenue
stream,
and
this
is
a
way
to
achieve
it.
G
Now
I
understand
the
need
for
high
density
housing
within
the
area,
and
I
understand
that
there's
a
real
cry
and
a
real
push
for
that,
and
I
applaud
it.
This
particular
block
of
land
is
set
back
from
not
on
a
major
road.
It's
on
a
very
small
residential
road
and
surrounded
by
single-family
residential
homes.
G
It
was
very,
very
clear
in
the
discussions
with
the
local
community
that
high-density
housing
would
not
fit
the
community
or
or
the
desires
of
the
neighbors,
and
there
would
be
significant
protests
to
the
point
that
I
think
you
would
have
trouble
getting
the
neighbours
to
agree
to
anything
high-density
in
that
particular
area.
As
mentioned
by
caroline
randy.
There
are
a
number
of
spots
locally
which
are
looking
to
build
high-density
housing,
including
cambrian,
plaza
and
another
block,
which
is
on
bascum,
the
corner
of
baskin
and
foxworthy,
which
is
also
looking
to
provide
high-density
housing.
G
G
G
My
kids
to
to
this
school
district
because
of
the
small
community,
feel
and
also
the
good
schools
that
we
can.
We
have
in
this
area.
I
am
asking
the
city
council
and
to
approve
moving
forward
with
this
project,
because
this
will
bring
in
revenue
some
revenue
for
the
school
district,
so
that
we
can
continue
to
provide
our
programs
and
music
programs
sports
and
lots
of
different
activities
for
our
children
as
they
grow
up.
G
One
of
the
first
things
that
are
likely
to
be
cut
are
these
programs
and
no
school
no
child
in
this
day
and
age
of
technology
should
be,
should
be
not
allowed
to
have
art
and
music
in
their
schools.
And
so
I
realized
that
this
is
not
a
high
density
housing
project,
but
it
does
fit
the
look
and
feel
of
the
neighborhood
really
well,
and
I
think
that
the
compromises
that
have
been
made
and
additions
that
have
been
made
to
this
project.
G
To
live,
and
also
to
allow
new
families
to
move
into
the
area
to
help
with
our
school
enrollment
as
well.
I've
also
been
a
avid
volunteer
for
many
years
in
the
district,
and
I
know
the
hours
that
it
takes
to
even
to
even
raise
just
minimal
amounts
of
money.
That
really
goes
goes
in
a
flash
when
you're
looking
to
fund
the
education
of
over
3
000
students.
So
I
asked
the
city
council
to
approve
this
measure
and
thank
you
for
your
time.
P
Thank
you
first,
I
want
to
thank
the
representatives
mary
and
mark
from
robeson
homes
to
be
here
and
listen
to
the
presentation
make
the
presentation.
I
want
to
remind
the
council
that
this
came
to
us
in
february
of
2021
and
what
we
adopted
then
and
approved
was
changing
the
color
of
the
map.
What
we're
doing
today
is
formalizing
the
approval
that
we
have
already
given
and
allows
the
development
to
begin
of
these
housing
units,
the
ad
units
and
the
affordable
housing.
P
I
want
to
thank
my
brown
act:
council
members,
jimenez,
perales
and
esparza,
who
signed
on
on
that
initial
memo
moving
this
forward
so
that
we
could
get
the
general
plan
amended
we
needed
and
now
where
we
are
today,
you've
already
heard
from
the
school
board
and
the
school
district
and
the
parents
as
to
why
this
is
important.
This
is
an
important
source
of
revenue
for
this
school
district.
P
Cambrian
school
district
is
a
tiny
school
district
within
district
nine.
It's
a
well-wa
well-run,
well-managed
well-taught
school
district
beloved
by
teachers,
parents
and
the
community.
We
need
to
do
what
we
can
to
support
them,
and
this
just
codifies
what
we've
already
said.
I
want
to
we've.
We
have
heard
some
criticisms
about
this,
not
being
dense
enough,
not
being
high
dense
enough,
not
having
the
density
that
we
need,
but
for
those
who
are
not
in
district
9,
I
will
let
you
know
that
in
district
9
we
currently
have
affordable
housing
projects
being
proposed
of
around
1300.
P
That
was
presented
by
jackie
morales
yesterday
at
an
affordable
housing
town,
affordable
housing,
town
hall
I
presented
with
roselyn
huey
it
was
and
and
actually
1300
is
low
by
our
calculation.
We
figure
that's
closer
to
about
1500
or
1600.
Those
are
affordable,
housing
unit
projects
that
are
coming
into
district
9
in
various
stages.
P
So
when
the
criticism
is
that
this
isn't
dense
enough
or
that
district
9
doesn't
have
enough
affordable
housing,
you
need
to
look
at
that
number
and
think
about
that
number.
In
relation
to
the
rest
of
the
city-
and
I
learned
yesterday
that
that's
twelve
percent
of
the
affordable
housing
being
proposed
in
the
dis
in
the
city,
which
is
a
tremendous
number
for
district
nine.
I
will
also
remind
you
that,
less
than
a
month
ago,
we
approved
moving
forward
with
the
cambrian
park,
plaza
the
cambrian
park.
P
Plaza
is
mixed-use
housing,
high
market
rate,
affordable
housing,
town
homes,
senior
housing
of
about
428
units,
and
actually
that
doesn't
even
use
include
the
senior
housing.
This
project,
the
cambrian
park,
plaza,
is
a
mere
two
blocks.
South
of
this
project
of
cambriana
cambriana
was
designed
for
to
conform
to
the
neighborhood.
P
P
So
with
that,
I
do
have
a
question
for
the
developer
and
mark
or
mary.
Whoever
can
answer
it
for
me.
It
has
to
do
with
the
construction
on
saturdays
we've
heard
a
lot
while
the
neighbors
are
very
happy
with
what
you've
done
and
how
you've
worked
with
them.
They're
very
concerned
about
construction
on
saturdays.
Can
you
tell
me
how
you
intend
to
enforce
or
not
or
not,
allow
construction
on
saturdays.
H
So
in
those
particular
cases
it
can
be
very
helpful
to
catch
up
a
bit
work
on
saturdays
and
also
I'll
just
mention
that
if
we
are
able
to
do
work
on
saturdays,
that
is
going
to
be
happening
while
the
schools
are
not
in
session,
so
that
helps
to
reduce
the
impact
potentially
on
the
adjacent
preschool.
That's
right
within
the
existing
metzler
facility.
H
And
finally,
as
was
mentioned
in
the
staff
report,
our
hours
were
included
in
our
initial
application
and
that
included
a
review
of
the
impacts
and
additional
mitigation
measures
which
preclude
heavy
activities
such
as
rough
grading
and
or
roadway
bathing.
That
really
have
that
extra
noise
and
dust
that
we
want
to
avoid.
It's
it's.
It's
our
it's
our
desire
to
try
to
limit
the
impacts
to
our
neighbors
to
the
fullest
extent
we
can,
which
is
one
of
the
reasons
we're
making
this
request.
H
H
Not
necessarily
if
there's
that
was
a
one
example
of
delay
that
could
be
incurred,
there
are
other
things
there
could
be
delays
with
shipping.
There
could
be
delays
with
appointments,
but
from
time
to
time
there
is
a
need
to
try
to
catch
up
with
work
on
a
saturday
in
preparation
for,
like
a
like,
I
mentioned
a
meeting
or
meeting
a
milestone
for
the
schedule
on
campbell
union
across
the
street.
H
I'm
not
aware,
maybe
beyond
one
instance
where
any
work
has
been
done
on
saturdays,
so
it
is
not
again
our
intention
to
be
out
there
every
saturday.
I
don't
foresee
us
doing
that,
but
especially
when
we
get
to
interior
work,
perhaps
landscaping
and
other
things,
it
could
again
be
necessary
to
make
sure
our
project
meets
its
milestones.
H
H
Well,
we
will
have
a
construction
coordinator
and
notification
at
each
stage
of
our
project,
so
there
will
be
signage
first
of
all,
posted
at
the
project
that
will
have
numbers
and
information
for
somebody
to
contact
if
they
have
a
question,
we
can
include
on
that
signage
that
there
will
be
saturday
construction
hours
and
they
can
contact
us
at
any
time.
So
I
I
can
check.
We
may
be
able
to
provide
notice
to
the
immediately
adjacent
neighbors
if
that's
going
to
be
happening
in
the
near
future.
H
I
don't
see
any
issue
with
that,
so
it
wouldn't
be
like
a
300
foot
radius,
but
to
those
that
are
immediately
adjacent,
we
could
certainly
notify
them.
I've
notified
them
when
we've
done
ground
testing
and
other
things
of
that
nature
by
leaving
information
at
their
doorstep.
I'd
be
happy
to
do
that
as
the
project
continues.
When
we
plan
to
work
on
a
saturday,
I.
P
S
P
Oh,
I
forgot
to
say
something:
I'm
sorry,
please,
former
council,
member
don
rocha
who
held
this
seat
prior
to
me
and
now
is
a
council,
a
city,
a
school
board,
member
with
the
cambrian
school
district.
He
sent
us
all
a
letter
encourages
us
to
support
this
proposal
as
well.
I
just
wanted
to
enter
that
into
the
record.
C
C
O
C
H
H
C
C
Okay
got
it,
and
I
guess
you
know
this
could
be
a
question
I
guess
for
either
planning
or
for
housing,
whoever
liked
to
jump
in,
but
in
our
inclusionary
housing
ordinance.
This
is
a
deed.
Restricted
homes
shall
have
a
comparable
square
footage
in
the
same
bedroom.
Count
the
bedroom
count
ratio
as
market
rate
units.
D
Yes,
thank
you
mayor.
This
is
rachel
vanderveen
deputy
director
of
the
housing
department,
and
so
this
the
inclusionary
housing
ordinance
has
requirements
regarding
the
regarding
the
number
of
like
the
bedrooms
and
then
the
ratio
bedrooms
to
the
market
rate
units.
It
also
has
requirements
for
the
overall
size
and
how
that
relates
to
the
market
rate
units,
but
it
does
not
speak
to
the
attached
or
detached
construction
type
for
the
unit.
D
D
The
affordable
units
have
four
bedrooms,
which
is
the
same
as
the
market
rate
units
and
the
reason
that
the
exception
was
given
is
because
they
would
be
required
to
provide
three
affordable
units
and
they
provided
four
and
also
they
would
typically
be
required
to
have
an
affordability
level
of
a
hundred
and
twenty
percent
of
the
area
median
income.
However,
this
is
actually
restricted
at
70
percent
of
the
area.
Median
income,
which
will
actually
be
providing
home
ownership
opportunities
for
low-income
families,.
D
Yes,
actually,
the
majority
of
them
are
they
or
they're
in
they're,
in
some
phase
of
either
they've
received
financing,
it's
a
mix
of
applications
to
the
city
for
financing
versus
just
working
with
tax
credits
and
bonds,
and
not
necessarily
requiring
city
funds.
So
there's
some
projects
like
in
both
categories,
but
at
this
point
I
would
say
that
they're
all
working
through
the
process
of
securing
financing.
C
Okay,
I
know
they're
all
trying
to
get
financing.
I
get
that
just
trying
to
understand
how
close
we
are.
I
know
jackie's
on
the
line
feel
free
to
jump
in
jackie,
but
my
understanding
is:
there
are
projects
that
get
city
commitments
that
are
contingent
on
getting
you
know,
tax
credits
and
seed
back
and
so
forth,
and
that
doesn't
come
through
then
and
folks
are
kind
of
in
limbo,
and
I'm
just
trying
to
understand.
K
C
D
Yeah,
so
you
know
you're
absolutely
right.
We
certainly
have
a
larger
amount
of
units
frankly
than
I've,
seen
historically
in
district
9
that
have
showed
up
and
so
but
you're
absolutely
right
it
until
they
actually
pull
a
building
apartment.
There's
plenty
of
different
things
that
can
happen
with
the
financing
with
the
economy,
with
the
rates
that
they're
going
to
charge.
So
it
is
not
definitely
a
guarantee
that,
because
it's
in
our
pipeline
that
it
would
move
forward
and
get
funded.
C
And
was,
was
there
ever
an
opportunity
that
the
housing
department
had
to
maybe
sit
down
with
the
school
district
and
look
at
the
whole
site?
Not
just
this,
but
the
site
all
the
way
to
union
avenue
that
the
the
school
district
owns
to
look
at,
for
example,
whether
or
not
there
might
be
an
affordable
builder.
That
would
be
quite
happy
to
pay
a
lease
on
a
much
higher
density
project
along
union
avenue.
D
So
we
had
initial
conversations
at
that
time
again.
It
was
around
the
general
plan
amendment,
but
we
did
share
our
concern
for
a
greater
density
on
the
site
and,
unfortunately,
as
the
development
project
came
in
for
development
review,
I
don't
think
the
housing
department
had
the
opportunity
to
weigh
in
on
density
levels
at
that
time.
Q
D
C
P
F
P
C
C
That
would
enable
a
lot
of
families
to
have
access
to
a
high
resource,
neighborhood
good
school
district,
which,
if
I'm
correct,
I
mean
rachel
or
jackie,
fill
me
in
on
this,
but
for
the
last
two
years
we've
been
working
on
an
affordable
siding
policy.
The
changes
of
this
policy
are
motivated
by
some
equity
considerations.
As
I
recall,
you
want
to
maybe
share
some
insight
about.
D
Sure
I
mean
we
definitely
see
that,
especially
with
family
housing,
that
we
don't
see
much
of
it
in
areas
such
as
this,
where
we
have
better,
you
know
higher
performing
schools,
more
opportunity
for
families,
and
we
have
certainly
have
wanted
to
find
and
locate
areas
where
we
can
build
affordable
housing
for
families
with
kids.
So
we
do.
Q
C
Nice,
jackie,
so
I
just
you
know
I
I
agree
really
what
the
sentiments
are
expressed
by
lalo,
mendes
and
outshore,
and
folks
that
catalyze
I.
I
think
this
was
a
missed
opportunity
and
I
know
it
was
missed
in
part
because
there
were
a
lot
of
challenges
as
we're
trying
to
get
a
policy
in
place
and
there
was
desire
to
to
get
this
to
move
before
we
had
the
policy
in
place,
and
I
know
there's
another
proposal
like
this.
C
I
think
coming
down
the
pike
at
district
10,
if
I'm
not
mistaken,
more
single-family
housing,
a
school
district,
where
again,
we
have
an
opportunity
to
say
hey.
This
is
a
high
resource
neighborhood
and
we're
trying
to
actually
effectuate
equity
in
our
city.
Not
just
have
task
forces
not
just
have
studies,
but
actually
do
it
and
give
more
opportunity
to
low-income
families
to
be
in
high
resource
neighborhoods,
so
their
their
kids
can
have
the
opportunity
to
go
to
great
schools
and-
and
and-
and
so
I'm
concerned
that-
because
we
really
never
had
that
opportunity.
C
We
just
celebrated
the
opening
of
a
five-story
building,
affordable
right
there
on
king
avenue
next
to
single
family
homes,
and
it
was
good
enough
for
district
five
and
I'm
a
little
concerned,
I'm
concerned
about
our
approach.
That's
why
I
didn't
support
this
before,
and
I
know
that
I
was
in
the
minority
there.
I
expect
I
will
be
again,
but
I'm
very
concerned
here
as
well.
P
P
C
P
Well:
okay,
that's
what
I
heard
so
if
that
wasn't
you
your
intent,
I
just
needed
to
set
the
record
straight
that
I
have
supported
every
affordable
housing
project
coming
through
district
nine
and,
in
fact,
again
held
a
town
hall
yesterday
to
educate
our
community
on
what
we
can
or
cannot
do
in
relation
to
affordable
housing
and
how
important
that
is
to
us
that
we
see
affordable,
affordable
housing
being
built
in
district
9
and
throughout
the
city.
And
yes,
it's
true
that
1300
units
in
the
pipeline
right
now
doesn't
mean
they're
going
to
get
built.
P
It
also
doesn't
mean
that
any
high-rise
downtown
that
we
approve
is
going
to
get
built
either
because
it
does
depend
on
the
economic
conditions.
So
I
strongly
encourage
my
council
members
to
support
this.
I
understand
the
mayor
is
against
it,
but
I
hope
that
you
will
vote
in
support
of
it.
Thank
you.
D
P
C
O
Thank
you,
mayor
city
council,
again
chris
burton
director
of
planning,
building
code
enforcement
item.
10.3
again
is
a
planned
development,
rezoning
plan
development
permit
and
investing
tentative
map
for
a
project
site
located
at
4300,
stevens
creek
boulevard.
You
may
recall
we
previously
approved
a
project
on
this
site
back
in
2016
as
a
signature
project
prior
to
the
urban
village
plan
being
completed.
O
This
project
does
include
changes
from
the
original,
originally
approved
project
and
we'll
walk
through
that
a
little
bit.
So
again,
this
is
a
10-acre
site.
The
existing
use
is
commercial
and
office,
including
medical
offices.
It
has
a
general
plan,
land
use
designation
of
urban
village
and
is
within
the
stephens
creek
boulevard
urban
village
plan.
Currently,
the
zoning
district
is
cg
plant
development,
zoning.
O
An
addendum
to
the
original
eir
was
prepared
for
the
project
and
was
posted
on
the
city's
website
on
june
30th
of
this
year.
As
it's
an
addendum,
there
is
no
public
review
period
required.
No
new,
significant
or
unavoidable
impacts
were
identified
through
that
process.
Less
than
significant
impacts
with
mitigation
incorporated
were
disclosed
for
air
quality,
biological
resources
hazards
and
hazardous
materials,
noise
and
vibration.
O
Staff
is
recommending
adoption
of
a
resolution
adopting
the
addendum
to
the
final
eir
for
the
4300
stevens
creek
boulevard,
mixed
use,
project,
a
proven,
ordinance,
rezoning,
the
property
from
cp
plan
development
to
the
cp
plan
development.
Zoning
district
for
the
associated
development
adopt
a
resolution
approving
with
subject
conditions.
N
N
When
we
acquired
the
site,
we
first
started
working
on
this
project
in
late
2015,
we
identified
it
as
an
opportunity
site
in
the
urban
village
planning
area.
We
immediately
became
very
engaged
with
the
stevens
creek
advisory
group,
which
ultimately
culminated
in
approval
by
the
city
council
in
february
of
2019.
N
We
were
extremely
excited.
Our
capital
partners
were
extremely
excited.
Unfortunately,
we
hit
some
headwinds.
We
had
construction
costs,
user
change
of
preferences
of
various
issues
that
affected
our
ability
to
move
forward
with
the
project.
So
we
began
to
look
at
alternative
uses
for
the
project
we
owned
the
property
we
weren't
going
to
abandon
it.
We
didn't
want
to
sell
it.
N
First
project
in
the
stephens
creek
urban
village
planning
area
the
project
before
you.
Today
we
have
three
residential
buildings:
two
market
rate
buildings
and
one
100
percent,
affordable
building
our
previous
project
had
mixed
use.
Affordable
component
in
two
market
rate
towers,
the
economic
viability
of
those
towers
because
of
construction
costs
and
various
other
financing
factors
we
had
to
redesign
the
project.
N
25
is
affordable
in
our
large
three-bedroom
units
for
families
in
this
neighborhood.
Another
25
are
two
bedroom
units
and
then
50
are
one-bedroom
and
studios.
So,
based
on
some
previous
discussions,
we
had
as
far
as
affordable
housing
and
the
need
to
provide
affordable
housing
and
larger,
affordable
housing.
We
are
bringing
that
forward.
Tonight.
N
N
This
location
is
removed
from
the
other
office
product
in
this
submarket
and
most
of
the
office
users
that
we
talked
to
wanted
to
be
in
a
project
where
they
could
grow
and
have
multiple
phases.
This
was
a
standalone
single
office
building
and
it
became
that
the
user
market
which
changed
didn't
accept
it.
N
Our
new
financial
partners
are
very
versed
in
hotel
development.
They
are
encouraged
by
it.
They
have
partners
that
are
encouraged
by
it,
so
we
feel
it
can
move
forward.
The
other
headwind
we
ran
into
was
we
intended
to
relocate
satellite
healthcare.
We
were
going
to
demolish
the
entire
commercial
site
and
you'll
see
now
we
are
keeping
the
satellite
here
healthcare.
We
are
keeping
the
davita
and
roundtable
pizza
building,
mainly
because
it
became
prohibitively
expensive
once
we
got
our
entitlements.
N
The
relocation
discussions
changed
and
the
economics
just
did
not
work.
So,
in
summary,
we
feel
we
have
a
project
that
meets
the
goals.
We
listened,
we
heard
affordable
housing,
we
knew
when
we
took
away
the
office
component.
We
were
going
to
have
to
replace
it
with
something
that
people
could
support
and
we
were
hoping
the
additional,
affordable
housing
units,
in
conjunction
with
the
commercial
hotel
and
retail
development,
we're
keeping
the
promenade,
and
we
encourage
your
support.
G
Representative
with
the
norcal
carpenters
union,
I
represent
about
roughly
7
700
members
in
the
county,
santa
clara
about
3
000
members
in
the
city
of
san
jose.
I
believe
this
is
a
great
job.
It's
going
to
have
a
lot
of
affordable
housing
and
a
lot
of
housing
also
that
we
need
that
is
going
to
help
mitigate
the
housing
crisis
that
we
have
in
the
area.
G
G
It
necessary
for
them.
Doesn't
it
that's
the
question
I
have
working.
Families
are
not
asking,
if
not
asking
for
safety
net
programs,
they
want
policies
set
forward,
so
create
an
environment
where
they
can
drive
and
not
having
to
work
someplace
else
commuting
to
where
they
can't
find
a
good
job,
a
good
paying
job.
It
would
be
nice
if
they
can
find
it
here
in
the
city
of
san
jose.
G
J
For
my
family
and
myself,
steady
work
hours
and
a
place
in
society,
I
currently
am
a
resident
in
santa
clara
county
and
work
close
to
home
is
essential
to
thrive.
In
my
personal
life
and
as
a
part
of
my
community,
I
am
proud
to
be
union
and
since
becoming
a
member
of
405,
I
have
found
a
higher
level
of
esteem
that.
J
C
H
And
so
the
union
has
changed
my
life.
It's
given
me
a
second
chance.
It's
given
a
lot
of
people
a
second
chance
and
it
would
bring
a
lot
of
people
here
in
the
community.
Also.
I
have
to
drive
most
the
time
an
hour
away
to
get
to
work
in
the
union,
which
is
great,
but
it
would
be
so
nice
to
come
here
and
work
in
san
jose
also
people
eat
here.
You
know
we
spend
our
money
here.
So
I'm
a
little
nervous.
G
H
H
T
Good
evening,
my
name
is
brian
shields
good
evening
mayors,
council
members
and
members
of
the
public.
My
name
is
brian
shields.
I'm
a
field
representative
for
carpenter's
local
405,
located
right
here
in
san
jose.
I
wanted
to
speak
to
you
tonight
about
bringing
to
the
forefront
of
your
minds
the
need
for
labor
standards.
T
When
I
and
my
colleagues
speak
to
you
of
labor
standards,
we're
speaking
to
you
of
a
quality
of
life
provided
in
large
part
by
the
unions
too
often
are
the
building
heights.
Colors
use
construction
discussed
with
no
mention
of
the
people
who
actually
do
the
building.
It
is
important
to
discuss
how
much
it
costs
to
live
here,
how
much
it
costs
to
raise
a
child
here
and
how
much
it
costs
to
have
health
care
here?
T
T
We
need
a
livable
wage
where
a
person
can
afford
to
live
and
work
here
in
the
bay
area,
healthcare
for
not
only
the
for
not
only
the
worker
but
for
the
family
as
well,
an
apprenticeship
that
lends
itself
to
the
furthering
of
the
workforce
when
these
standards
are
met
in
san
jose
can
lift
not
only
the
people
who
live
here
in
the
future,
but
those
who
live
here
now
so
with
the
need
for
labor
standards.
Why
is
it
that
we'll
allow
this
property
to
be
rezoned?
T
It
is
time
for
developers
to
be
held
to
the
standard
that
we
want
to
our
society.
To
move
in
now
is
the
time
right.
Now
is
the
time
to
to
send
a
message
to
all
development
here
in
this
ever
expanding
ever
encompassing
city
called
san
jose
that,
from
this
day
forth,
you
will
stand
behind
your
constituents,
your
people
and
look
for
their
best
look
out
for
their
best
interests.
G
Good
afternoon,
mayor
and
and
city
councilman
good
afternoon,
my
name
is
furman
salcido
journeyman
out
of
here
at
local
405,
san
jose
and
I'm
here
to
talk
about
labor
centers,
about
people
able
to
work,
and
I
actually
live
in
this
community.
I
was
born
and
raised
in
the
bay
area,
and
I
was
here
in
the
80s
where
everything
was
affordable.
Housing
was
affordable
throughout
the
throughout
the
country.
Now
we
all
know
how
you
know.
No
one
could
actually
could.
G
Actually,
you
know,
buy
a
home
here
now
these
days
and
let
alone
the
cost
of
living.
As
we
all
know,
it's
no
secret
and
we're
here
you
know
that's
why
we're
here
we're
here
to
we're.
I'm
part
of
the
community,
I'm
here
to
represent
the
community,
and
I
hear
once
still
someone
living
in
this
community.
G
I
G
E
And
I
was
able
to
save,
I
was
able
to
stay
afloat
for
those
three
months
and
while
this
project
helps
san
jose,
you
know
reach
the
the
number
of
units
for
our
affordable
housing
goal.
I
believe
that
it
should
also
be
a
goal
of
san
jose
to
make
sure
that
we
create
more
opportunity,
work
opportunities
here
in
san
jose
and
that
we
make
sure
that
that
work
goes
to
san
jose
residents,
like
myself,.
G
G
Good
evening,
mayor
licardo
city,
council
members,
my
name
is
matt
regan,
I'm
senior
vice
president
of
policy
for
the
bay
area
council.
You
already
have
our
letter
dated
july
12th
in
support
of
the
project
and
the
debate
this
evening
this
afternoon
on,
the
need
for
housing
has
been
repeated
over
and
over
again
over
the
last
hour
hour
and
a
half,
and
just
today
in
the
news
this
afternoon,
the
milpitas
school
district
issued
a
request
of
the
parents
and
their
school
district.
G
If
they
have
any
spare
bedrooms,
could
they
please
let
the
school
district
know
so
they
can
be
used
for
teacher
housing.
Just
one
example
of
the
depth
of
the
crisis
that
we
find
ourselves
in
every
home.
That's
proposed.
We
need
desperately
this
week
in
sacramento.
The
the
legislature
has
spent
a
lot
of
time
working
on
climate
change.
The
bay
area
council
economic
institute
produced
some
numbers
today
that
for
every
ton
of
carbon
that
a
california
family
generates
the
same
family
in
texas
generates
2.7
tons.
G
We
also
export
40
000
people
a
year
from
california
to
texas,
primarily
because
we
don't
build
housing
for
them
here
in
our
state.
That's
a
huge
multiplier
of
carbon
and
it's
a
huge
production
of
greenhouse
gases,
and
it's
something
that
we
should
be
deeply
ashamed
of.
I
hope
the
developer
can
find
a
solution
with
labor.
I
hope
they
can
find
a
way
to
work
this
out,
but
you
should
all
know
that
every
project
has
its
breaking
point.
G
Every
project
has
a
point
where
it
no
longer
pencils
if
it
happens
to
be
concessions
to
labor
concessions,
to
affordability,
concessions
to
community
benefits.
You
have
to
make
those
decisions
on
where
the
right
ratio
lies,
but
at
the
end
of
the
day,
if
the
project
doesn't
makes
sense
from
a
financial
perspective,
it
will
not
get
built.
So
I
hope
you
you
move
forward
with
that
in
mind.
G
G
D
D
B
Hello,
hi,
okay,
I
just
started
talking,
I
didn't
realize
I
wasn't
muted
again.
Okay,
I
was
my
name
is
kirk
vartan.
I
was
a
co-chair
of
the
stevens
creek
advisory
group,
the
group
of
community
members
that
were
tasked
with
doing
the
urban
village
on
this
exact
street.
This
was
actually
at
the
time
a
signature
project
that
was
being
evaluated
by
actual
member
of
the
our
our
group
was
was
the
owner
of
this
parcel?
I
remember
it
very
clearly.
B
It
was
a
very
vibrant,
looking
piece
he
was
very
committed
or
they
him
and
his
partner
were
very
committed
to
making
it
very
robust
and
community
oriented,
and
I
pulled
a
couple
things
out
of
the
urban
village
plan
that
was
proposed
and
was
ultimately
ratified
by
this
council.
Creating
a
great
street
place
making
and
this
next
one
is
a
quote:
a
rich
and
inviting
pedestrian
environment
vibrant
walkable
place,
and
this
has
been
changed
substantially
since
when
it
was
proposed
and
the
biggest
challenge
that
I
I'm
taking.
B
So
I'm
all
for
density,
I'm
all
for
growth,
I'm
all
for
additional
housing,
etc.
But
what
I'm
not
supportive
of
is
how
they
have
created
an
auto
centric
interface
to
the
street.
We
have
we've
spent
years,
creating
the
urban
village
plan
and
part
of
it
is
to
create
a
pedestrian
focused
street,
and
the
first
thing
you
see
in
the
center.
The
core
of
this
entire
project
is
a
parking
lot.
Parking
lots
should
not
be
in
the
front
of
anything.
B
That's
pedestrian
focused
it's
it's
not
inviting
as
it
was
originally
intended,
and
while
I
am
in
favor
of
a
development
on
this
site
for
sure
the
way
this
canceled
out
and
finally
came
forth
was
not
what
was
originally
planned.
It's
not
in
the
spirit,
frankly
of
the
urban
village
other
than
on
some
technical
merits
of
housing
and
affordability,
which
is
awesome,
but
it
just
doesn't
have
the
spirit
of
creating
a
great
street
on
stephen's
creek.
Thank
you.
G
Good
evening,
mayor
and
council
members
la
lomendez
again
with
catalyze
sv,
I'm
here
to
support
item
10.3
on
behalf
of
our
project,
advocacy
members
who
provided
feedback
on
the
revised
stephen's
promenade
project.
Just
earlier
this
month
on
8th
on
august
8th,
our
members
are
supportive
of
the
changes
and
some
of
the
best
received
features
include
number
one.
The
affordability,
this
increase
in
affordable
homes
from
87
to
173
is
exactly
what
our
members
want
to
see.
Number
two:
the
community
engagement.
This
is
an
applicant
who's
who
has
worked
with
an
organized
with
our
organization.
G
Some
suggestions
that
our
members
came
up
with
include
number
one
to
increase
the
number
of
bicycle
parking
spots
to
at
least
200
units
throughout
the
site.
This
can
be
either
by
cracks
or
secured
bark
parking
rooms,
number
two
create
a
designated
ride,
share
area
for
pickup
and
drop
buffs
and
number
three
explore
providing
vta
transit
passes
to
on-site
residents.
So,
overall,
our
members
are
supportive
of
the
changes
and
they
want
to
see
10.3
approved
with
the
recommendations
provided.
Thank
you.
D
S
Good
afternoon
against
council
alex
shore
executive
director,
catalyze
sv
would
love
to
echo
some
of
the
comments
of
my
colleague,
lalo
mendes.
I
also
want
to
thank
the
developer
for
continuing
to
work
to
find
a
project.
It
goes
up
against
the
witticism,
but
in
this
case
let's
hope.
Second
time
is
the
charm,
because
we
do
need
all
those
homes
and
we
do
need
development
and
we
need
it
at
the
levels
of
density
that
are
being
proposed
through
this
project
and
and
hopefully,
maybe
even
higher
at
some
point
in
west
san
jose's
forthcoming
history.
S
I
think
it's
also
important,
even
though
you
know,
office
space
is
really
good
for
city
revenue.
It
is
important
to
acknowledge
that
there
are
studies
that
the
city
has
done
that
council
member
mayhem
have
cited.
If
you
build
around
50
homes
per
acre,
that
you
actually
get
the
noun
of
tax
revenue,
you
need
to
help
the
city
continue
to
grow
and
flourish
and
cover
its
costs.
So
this
should
be
able
to
achieve
that
with
the
height
of
these
buildings
and
thus
be
a
net
positive
for
the
community.
S
Definitely
elements
to
improve
that
folks,
like
kirk,
vartan
and
lalo
mendez
have
mentioned
in
terms
of
place,
making
transit
passes
and
bike
parking.
So
if
you
would
consider
those
in
your
decision
today,
we
would
certainly
appreciate
it
and
thank
you
for
continuing
to
work
on
these
important
housing
issues
in
our
community.
D
G
G
I
understand
that
mr
vartan
was
involved
in
that
process,
and
our
sense
is
that
it's
a
tremendous
opportunity
to
anchor
that
that
important
corridor
in
the
city
it
does
so
by
providing
a
really
valuable
mix
of
affordable
and
market
rate
housing
and
other
amenities.
I
just
want
to
point
out
that
this
project
is
going
well
beyond
the
established
inclusionary
zoning
ordinance
in
the
city.
G
Mr
shore's
comment
about
how
we
get
net
benefits
from
building
at
higher
density
and
incorporating
multi-use
and
multi-income
spaces
very
important.
I
won't
go
into
the
details
of
the
crisis
that
we're
facing.
I
think
that
mr
reagan
did
a
very
good
job
of
articulating
where
the
need
is-
and
I
know
that
this
council
is
well
aware
of
this
fact.
These
are
the
kinds
of
projects
that
we
need
and
that's
why
we've
been
supported
through
this
process.
Thank
you.
G
Good
afternoon
my
name
is
catherine
hedges,
I'm
with
canal
issb
and
I'd
like
to
echo
the
comments
that
previous
speakers
made.
That
overall,
this
is
a
good
project.
It's
taking
a
long
time
to
get
to
this
point
and
we
definitely
need
more
housing,
and
this
level
of
density
and
transit
corridor
is
excellent.
G
We
would
like
to,
which
is
why
we
would
like
the
developers
to
include
transit,
passes
to
residents
at
least
200
bicycle
parking
spots,
a
designated
rideshare
area
based
on
some
other
comments.
I've
heard
today,
I
don't
know
if
they
could
specify
local
union
labor
if
that
would
still
pencil
out,
but
that
would
be
a
good
addition
and
if
they
could
modify
the
parking
lot
in
front
that
somebody
was
concerned
about,
because
that's
not
really
what
we
want
in
the
urban
village
either.
G
G
Good
afternoon,
mayor
and
council,
the
silicon,
my
name
is
vince
rocha,
vice
president
of
housing
and
community
development,
with
the
silicon
valley,
leadership
group
we're
presenting
over
350
member
companies
here
in
silicon
valley,
our
housing
committee
looked
at
this
project
and
really
supported
and
endorsed
it,
because
not
only
does
it
provide
new
market
rate
homes,
but
a
lot
of
affordability
and
mixed
use,
including
hotels,
which
is
a
little
underrated
for
the
area.
I
think
that
hotels
really
do
drive
tax
revenue
for.
A
G
I
didn't
have
enough
of
them
and
so
really
just
meeting
the
market
demand
where
it
is.
I
know
projects
change
based
on
feasibility
and
it
looks
like
the
developer
has
stuck
with
believing
in
san
jose
believing
in
the
stevens
creek
urban
village
plan
working
to
meet,
I
would
say
the
actual
goals
of
the
village
plan,
which
is
really
important
because
of
how
much
time
the
city
has
put
into
the
urban
villages
and
so
having
this
project
kick
off.
The
urban
village
on
stevens
creek
is
really
exciting
and.
K
Thank
you
mayor.
First
of
all,
I
want
to
give
a
shout
out
to
jared
ferguson,
who
was
heavily
involved
with
this,
this
project,
working
with
tom
and
city
staff,
to
to
move
it
forward
and
as
well
as
the
stephens
creek
advisory
team
for
the
urban
village.
They
spent
years
working
on
the
urban
village
village
plan
for
stevens
creek,
and
so
a
lot
of
time
effort.
You
know,
sweat
and
tears
have
gone
into
this
project.
K
I
know
that,
because
of
market
forces
that
you
know,
you've
had
to
make
changes
and
adjustments,
but
I
just
want
to
just
ask
a
couple
of
questions.
Tom
one
is
that
we've
had
several
union
members
who've
gotten
up
and
spoken,
and
one
of
their
concerns
was
a
lack
of
communication.
So
can
you
can
you
address
that?
Please.
K
N
Yes,
we
have
had
ongoing
discussions
with
the
unions.
As
a
matter
of
fact,
my
partner
perry
hariri
met
with
them
as
recently
as
last
week,
and
we've
had
meetings
with
them
over
the
years.
Since
the
original
approval
in
2018.,
we've
always
said
we're
an
open
shop.
You
know
we're
going
to
hire
a
general
contractor
and
our
general
contractors
our
open
shops.
They
typically
use
both
union
and
some
non-union
labor,
but
the
major
subs
in
this
market
are
union
contractors,
our
site
work
developers
our
underground.
N
Most
of
our
are
the
large
framers,
our
union
contractors.
We
have
never
said
we
weren't
going
to
use
union
labor,
but
we
will
hire
a
general
contractor
and
they
will
be
building
the
project
and
they
are
very
involved
in
that
sub
bidding
process.
The
second
component,
I
would
like
to
mention
that
I
didn't
during
my
presentation
in
looking
at
this
project
and
pri,
trying
to
bring
it
forward
financially
viably.
N
We
redesigned
and
moved
to
a
modular
concept
for
construction,
and
so
a
lot
of
our
construction
is
actually
going
to
be
done
off-site
in
you
know
manufactured
because
we're
trying
as
an
industry
to
bring
the
cost
of
construction
down,
and
so
we
we've
never
said
we're
not
going
to
use
union.
We
had
conversations
with
the
union
just
last
week.
We've
had
conversations
ongoing
since
2018,
so
I
don't
quite
understand
the
concept
that
we
haven't
communicated,
but.
K
N
N
I
started
building
single
family
homes
in
san
jose
back
on
the
almaden
winery
and
I
remember
then
we
couldn't
find
enough
union
carpenters
to
build.
We
were
in
a
dual
gate.
One
of
the
first
projects
in
san
jose
were
because
we
needed
to
use
a
non-union
framer
because
we
couldn't
get
enough
union
framers.
K
N
Well,
we've
we've
kept
the
promenade
concept
where
we
could.
The
one
of
the
biggest
changes
in
the
project
was.
We
could
not
unleash
the
davita
healthcare
and
satellite
healthcare,
long-term
leases
and
satellite
healthcare
encumbers
their
building
and
the
parking
lot,
and
so
we
as
we're
looking
to
keep
the
project
in
the
integrity
of
the
project
and
provide
the
residential
component,
provide
the
vibrance
of
the
hotel
along
stephens
creek.
But
we
couldn't
relocate
satellite
healthcare.
We
attempted
for
four
years
and
that
parking
lot.
They
have
they
encumber
with
a
long-term
lease.
N
Well,
we're
proposing
to
enhance
the
the
sidewalk
and
the
the
curb
appeal
along
stephens
creek
with
landscaping.
We
have
kept
the
promenade
and
when
you
get
past
that
parking
lot,
we
intend
to
have
some
landscaping
and
then
it
will
lead
right
into
the
promenade
which
we
have
kept
and
protected
the
integrity
of
that
potential
pedestrian
encounter.
We
also
feel
that
the
hotel,
the
ground
level,
retail
and
the
spaces
and
the
design
of
the
hotel
that
that's
going
to
be
a
very
pedestrian
friendly
ground
level,
retail
off
of
stevens
creek.
K
So
well,
that's
all
the
questions
I
have
for
you
tom,
but
I
just
want
to
say
that
you
know
it
was
a
joy
actually
to
work
with
you.
I
can't
say
that
with
all
the
developers
I've
I've
worked
with,
but
you
know,
you've
been
very
accommodating
when
you
first
sat
down,
I
told
you
my
number
one
priority
was
affordable
housing
and
you
took
that
to
heart,
and
even
with
your
coming
back
and
and
doubling
the
affordable
housing
really
is
a
testament
to
it.
K
Yeah
I
appreciate
it,
so
I
I
also
wanted
to
make
the
point
that
there
is
a
tom
I'm.
Actually
I'm
done.
Okay,
you
can
sit
down
and
relax.
I
also
want
to
make
the
point
that
this
project
is
bringing
in
173,
affordable
housing
units,
and
I
was
going
to
brag
that
over
the
course
of
my
term
that
I
have
663
affordable
housing
units
in
the
pipeline.
K
But
now
I
know
that
district
9
is
double
that
I'm
I'm
not
even
going
to
brag
about
it,
but
it
is
a
testament
to
if
we
make
that
a
priority
that
we
can.
We
can
bring
affordable
housing
into
our
districts,
but
we
just
have
to
make
sure
that
we
make
that
a
priority
when
we
sit
down
and
talk
to
these
developers.
K
C
Thank
you
for
a
second
yeah
there.
It
is
okay.
Thank
you
vice
mayor
vice
mayor,
since
you
mentioned
I'll,
go
ahead
and
jump
in
and
we'll
go
on
to
other
comments
and
questions.
I
I
support
the
project
as
well.
I
appreciate
that
this
builder
is
complying
with
the
city
rules
and
providing
affordable
housing
on
site
is
a
great
advantage.
C
C
I
think
we
recognize
in
a
perfect
world.
We
would
have
picked
the
prior
plan
over
this
one.
We
understand
there
were
economic
factors
that
drove
the
change.
Those
are
the
realities.
We
know
that
are
in
the
market
and
the
reality
is
we
wouldn't,
even
if
we
could,
if
we
wanted
to
force
the
developer,
to
stick
to
the
original
plan,
we
couldn't
because
the
urban
village
plan
had
been
all
already
approved,
and
so
the
idea
is,
let's
think
about
as
we're
going
forward
in
these
urban
village.
C
C
We
understand
there
may
be
lots
of
uses
that
will
enable
the
developers
still
to
make
it
pencil
out
and-
and
we
can
demand
more
retail,
for
example,
in
a
particular
site
or
demand
more
affordable
housing
or
whatever
it
might
be
that
we
really
want
for
the
city
again.
I
understand
folks
are
dealing
with
very
difficult
situations,
economically,
we're
not
going
to
get
a
lot
of
housing
built
in
the
city
in
the
next
couple
years,
given
what
we
know
about
the
economic
realities
and
construction
costs
and
so
forth.
C
There's
just
not
a
lot
that
pencils
out.
I
appreciate
an
attempt
to
try
to
use
modular
housing
as
an
approach.
We've
used
it
before
in
this
city,
and
I
think
it
can
be
done
well
so
anyway.
I
that
that's
really
the
the
gist
of
the
memo
is
to
say,
hey.
I
think
we
recognize
we'd
love
to
have
another
bite
this
apple.
K
And
mayor
just
for
for
the
the
record
so
just
to
clarify
those
high
opportunity
sites
will
be
identified
during
the
urban
village
process
so
that
once
the
process
of
the
the
village
plan
is
approved
and
we
go
back
and
we
look
at
that
particular
pro
site
that
had
been
already
identified
yeah
during
the
process.
That's.
C
G
C
G
N
G
C
O
O
N
N
Design,
I
would
hope,
not
okay,
all
right,
and
you
know
I've
done
mixed
income
buildings
in
san
jose
over
the
years
I
was
the
builder
of
the
almaden
lake
village
apartments,
which
were
20,
affordable,
80
market
rate
and
and
there
again
the
ordinance
provided
that
those
units
you
go
down
the
street
and-
and
you
wouldn't
know
it
I'll-
tell
you.
I've
also
developed
single-family
subdivisions
in
other
communities
where
I've
had
an
affordable
component
and
I'll
tell
you.
I
think
the
affordable
component
was
better
maintained
than
the
market
rate
house
in
down
markets.
Okay,
you.
N
F
F
F
F
F
Christmas
says:
yes,
we're
always
thinking
that
there's
not
enough
labor
out
there
they're,
not
that
there's
this
shortage
and
here's
a
group
of
maybe
40
people
telling
us
that
they'd
love
to
stay
in
san
jose
and
work
in
the
city
that
they
live
in,
and
I
I
don't
know
where
the
disconnect
is.
I
don't
know
if
it's
a
general
contractor,
but
it
just
feels
like
we're
skating
around
each
other
and
it
doesn't
feel
like
a
productive
conversation.
F
My
husband
is
a
union
member
for
oe3,
I'm
a
working
family
and-
and
I
get
how
difficult
it
would
be
for
me
to
bring
my
two
kids
and
kudos
to
to
those
who
who
made
that
effort
to
come
here
and,
let
us
know,
and
and
those
of
you
who
might
have
shared
some
real
intimate
pieces
of
your
life
that
allow
us
to
understand
who
who
we
are
talking
about
when
we
say
the
labor
force
out
there
right
the
labor
force
out,
there
is
each
and
every
one
of
you
it's.
You
know
my
husband.
F
F
N
No
decision
has
been
made
on
union
non-union,
for
which
subcontractor
we
need
to
get
the
approval,
complete
construction
documents.
We
have
talked
to
contractors
and
were
involved
in
other
projects
in
the
south
bay
with
that
we've
hired
a
general
contractor
on,
but
this
project
has
not
been
put
out
to
bid
and
no
contractor
has
been
select,
selected
union
or
non-union.
F
Okay
got
it,
I,
I
must
have
missed
that.
I
apologize
and-
and
thank
you
for
for
for
that
answer.
I
hope
that
you
can
consider
in
the
future,
as
as
the
leader
of
development
for
san
jose,
because
that's
what
you're
doing
you're
helping
us
with
this
housing
crisis
as
well
as
you
know,
exerting
your
own
in
your
own
field
to
really
recognize
the
people
who
who
stand
behind
these
buildings
right
and
pretty.
N
N
As
I
said
in
my
opening
comment,
I
I
don't
understand
the
non-communication
discussion.
We've
we've
been
in
discussion
since
2018
and
depending
on
who
our
general
contractor
is,
as
I
said
most
of
the
large
general
contractors
today,
the
majority
of
their
workforce
is
union
labor
yeah,
I
I
haven't
done
a
recent
survey,
but
you
know
plumbers
and
framers
and
electricians.
F
N
E
E
I
know
how
involved
he
is
on
projects
in
his
district,
and
I
very
much
appreciate
his
comments
and
his
questions
at
the
beginning
of
this
item
about
the
communication
I
in
san
jose
cost
of
living
is
going
up.
We
don't
want
to
race
to
the
bottom,
and-
and
so
I
you
know,
I'm
going
to
add
my
voice
to
councilmember
arenas
to
say
please
we
we,
we
should
have
a
good
union
contractor
so
that
folks
don't
need
to
make
those
decisions
about
you
know.
Do
I
commute
six
hours
a
day
or
can
I
live?
N
My
history,
california,
public
employees,
retirement
system
was
one
of
my
financial
partners
and
we
used
to
prepare
a
report
for
them
required
every
month.
As
far
as
our
our
labor,
our
uni,
our
subcontractors
on
the
homes
we
built,
it
was
a
condition
condition
of
their
investment,
and
so
I
will
research
when
we're
interviewing
our
our
contractors
and
try
to
get
a
a
schedule
that
I
can
share
as
far
as
the
percentage
of
of
the
dollars
that
are
going
to
union
versus
non-union.
N
I
I
can't
with
my
financial
fiduciary,
dictate
to
a
general
contractor.
I
mean
they
compete
in
the
marketplace.
Contractors
we're
talking
to
are
building
throughout
the
south
bay
and
all
the
way
up.
You
know
into
sacramento
so,
but
we
will
do
some
research
during
the
process
as
we
move
forward.
So
we
can
provide
that
information
and
and
discuss.
E
C
G
M
O
O
C
Thank
you,
councilmember
councilman
williams,
I'm
very
sorry
that
you
waited
four
hours
to
tell
us
that,
because
you
could
have
texted
me
and
we
would
have
set
something
up.
So
henry
is
here:
we're
gonna
find
a
way
to
get
a
date
nailed
down
that
works
for
you
and
we'll
make
it
happen.
Thank
you
and.

B
B
It's
called
the
employee
ownership
act,
it's
a
act
that
is
going
through
the
legislature,
it's
unanimous
support
from
the
assembly
and
the
senate,
it's
about
to
land
on
the
governor's
desk
and
I
have
to
say,
I'm
I'm
disappointed
with
city
of
san
jose's,
lack
of
response,
a
lack
of
engagement
and
lack
of
participation
in
a
basic
support
letter.
It's
basic
what
I
was
asking
on
behalf
of
the
coalition,
that's
working
with
senator
becker's
office
and
and
other
and
oshkora
to
get
this
across.
B
The
finish
line
is
a
letter
of
support
from
the
city
of
san
jose
that
says
that
they
support
this
bill
and
are
asking
the
governor
to
sign
it.
That's
it
it's
a
form
letter.
It's
they
evidently
don't
it
doesn't
have
to
be
customized.
They
just
want
to
see
it
on
city
letterhead,
and
it
looks
like
we
have
a
couple
days
to
do
this.
We
can
do
it
by
in
the
next
two
to
three
days
and
still
have
make
an
impact.
You
can
send
it
directly
to
our
coordinator,
bernadette
fitzsimmons,
it's
in
the
email.
B
I
would
really
really
appreciate
it.
It
would
be
great
to
show
some
support
for
the
small
businesses
and
the
worker
ownership
struggle.
That's
out
there
to
really
get
a
leg
up
on
that
to
show
the
city
of
san
jose.
While
they
may
not
have
resources
to
put
behind
any
kind
of
effort
around
worker
ownership,
they
can
at
least
send
a
letter
on
behalf
of
the
organizations
that
are
doing
the
work
to
get
that
done
at
the
state
level
at
the
federal
level.
B
But
this
one
is
a
state
level
item,
and
I
would
ask
you
if
you
could
pencil
a
letter
and
send
that
off
in
the
next
couple
days
to
our
our
coordinator.
We'd,
really
appreciate
that
it's
a
final
push.
We've
been
working
for
a
while
on
this,
and
I
really
appreciate
that
you
can
do
this
on
zoom.
So
thanks
so
much.
G
I
G
P
G
M
G
It's
going
to
be
a
mess,
it's
not
a
pretty
sight.
Folks
are
still
there.
Folks
have
no
place
to
go
and
everybody
is
dropping
the
ball.
I'm
sorry!
I
know
you
don't
want
to
hear
this.
I
know
you
might
be
hearing
things
are
going
well,
but
it
isn't
folks
tell
you
what
you
want
to
hear,
but
maybe,
if
you
ever
spend
any
time
out
there
talking
to
folks
like
I'm
there,
I'm
there
every
single
day,
I
don't
I
was
there
today,
didn't
see
anybody
from
home.

It's
my
hope
that
the
community
energy
people-
you
know
people
like
lori
mitchell
and
such
they've
been
working
really
hard
for
the
past
few
years
to
get
san
jose
community
energy
going
and
they
they
have
some
good
understandings
of
what
exactly
2023
can
be
about,
and
I
hope
they
can
be.
They
would
want
to
be
forthcoming
in
the
next
few
months.
What
what
we
can
all
really
expect
of
2023
some
of
the
ideas
we
can
expect
and
really
get
started.
What
2023
can
be
like?

With
that
all
said,
as
usual,
I'm
understanding
the
us
has
had
a
real
big
hand
in
why
the
ukraine
war
is
still
going
on
at
this
point,
and
I
kept
asking
there
is
real.
This
is
a
real
time
that
all
sides
can
get
together
and
and
develop
ideas
of
peace
negotiation
instead
of
continued
use
of
war.
Good
luck.
