Okay,
you're
absolutely
right.
Thank
you,
councilman
mccroska,
for
reminding
me
today
for
those
of
us
who
have
memory
issues.
The
national
senior
center
senior
citizens
day
we're
going
to
recognize
and
proclaim
it
and
council
member
cross
is
going
to
lead
the
charge
and
are
there
members
of
the
community
who
are
here
in
chambers
who
are
part
of
this?
I.
F
Thank
you
so
much
mayor
and
and
and
I
want
to
welcome
our
beautiful
kitkat
to
the
to
the
stage
today,
it's
a
beautiful
day,
it's
a
hot
day,
I
hope
everybody's
staying
hydrated
and
I
don't
forget
to
put
on
that
sunscreen
that
is
going
to
keep
you
safe,
but
I
want
to.
I
want
to
thank
you
for
allowing
me
to
do
things
just
a
little
differently
today,
we're
proclaiming
august
21st,
that's
national
senior
citizen
day
and
and
I'm
not
in
council.
F
Nor
am
I,
in
my
home,
I'm
in
a
beautiful
senior
serving
facility
via
the
guadalupe
one
of
many
on
the
east
side
of
san
jose
and
proud
to
be
here
with
some
of
the
residents.
It's
here
that
my
team
and
I
have
had
the
pleasure
of
connecting
with
an
amazing
community
of
seniors
who
have
embraced
us
so
lovingly
it's
here
that
we've
enjoyed
bringing
zumba
yoga,
healthy
snacks
or
at
least
snacks.
F
We
we
read
distressing
reports,
indicating
instances
of
neglect,
depression
and
mistreatment,
and
let
me
be
very
clear:
isolation
is
the
number
one
affliction
of
our
seniors,
often
affecting
us
as
badly
as
the
pandemic
itself,
and
as
we
move
towards
recovery
they
reel
over
the
loss
of
friends
family.
They
slowly
are
making
their
way
back
to
spaces
that
they
once
called
home
as
we
improve
healthcare
and
secure
continuum
of
care.
The
historic
role
of
our
seniors
becomes
that
much
more
important.
F
F
And
they
step
up,
they
sure
do
step
up
serving
as
volunteers
in
various
programs
and
projects
that
benefit
every
sector
of
society
wherever
the
need
exists,
seniors
make
their
presence
felt.
That's
why
it's
such
an
honor
to
present
today's
proclamation
to
katz,
who
has
been
leading
the
latino
club
here
at
via
guadalupe,
in
partnership
with
catholic
charities
cat
and
the
latino
club,
have
been
fierce
social
advocates,
secure
musical
performances,
dances
movie
nights
and
linking
me
to
the
street
safety
improvement
projects
that
we've
been
engaged
in,
and
they
know
how
to
get
it
done.
F
Ultimately,
it's
my
hope
that
my
council
colleagues,
the
administration
and
our
residents
will
look
for
healthy
and
safe
ways
to
engage
with
our
seniors,
and
that
includes,
like
I
am
doing
today-
meeting
them
where
they
are,
we
can't
always
expect
them
to
come
to
us.
We
have
to
go
to
them.
Let's
do
let's
do
right
by
them
and
ensure
that
their
legacies
are
honored.
B
F
E
F
B
Thank
you
and
thank
you,
ladies
for
your
participation
and
all
that
you
do
for
our
community.
All
right,
we're
gonna
go
on
now
to
the
consent
calendar.
I
think
that's
where
I
left
off.
Are
there
any
items
that
my
colleagues
would
like
to
pull
going
first
here
in
the
council,
I
don't
see
anyone
raising
their
hands
and
let's
go
to
zoom
now.
Is
there
anyone
like
to
pull
an
item
from
consent.
G
A
E
B
B
I
We
are
here
today
to
request
your
approval
to
negotiate
an
agreement
with
concern
who
has
been
selected
through
an
rfp
process
to
provide
our
new
eap
services.
Our
current
vendor
for
these
services
is
mhn,
and
that
has
been
our
vendor
since
1994.
the
contract
with
mhn
is
set
to
expire
on
december
31st.
I
Our
current
plan
includes
mental
health,
counseling
and
work
life,
support
services,
critical
incident
services
and
training.
Right
now
we
offer
five
sessions
per
incident
for
our
non-sworn
employees
and
unlimited
sessions
for
our
sworn
employees
and
public
safety.
Dispatchers
premiums
are
paid
for
by
the
city.
This
is
a
hundred
percent
city
paid
for
benefit
for
benefited
employees
and
their
dependents,
regardless
of
usage.
I
There
we
go
okay,
so
since
we
last
did
an
rfp
for
these
services,
there
has
been
some
things
that
have
changed
in
the
marketplace.
For
the
counseling
benefits.
The
unlimited
counseling
sessions
are
no
longer
offered
and
mhn.
Our
current
vendor
had
notified
us
that
of
us,
so
we
were
aware
of
that
going
into
the
rfp
that
we
were
no
longer
going
to
have
unlimited
counseling
sessions.
I
Substance
abuse,
disorder
treatment
is
now
legally
required
to
be
covered
by
our
health
plans,
so
this
was
covered
under
mhn,
but
since
then
a
law
has
passed.
It's
now
required
to
be
covered
under
our
health
plan,
so
anthem
and
kaiser
do
cover
this.
So
eap
benefits
will
no
longer
provide
substance,
abuse,
disorder,
treatment
and
now
there's
a
different
types
and
methods
of
services
that
are
being
provided
by
eap,
and
this
was
something
that
we
were
interested
in
looking
at
through
the
rfp
process.
I
So
we
did
conduct
an
rfp
for
these
services
and
the
results
are
in
front
of
you
in
this
memo.
We
are
recommending
increasing
the
number
of
sessions
for
our
non-sworn
employees.
I'm
increasing
this
benefit
to
eight
sessions
for
non-sworn,
so
we're
going
from
five
to
eight
and
then,
as
we
mentioned,
the
unlimited
sessions
are
no
longer
available
through
the
rfp
process.
We
are
recommending
that
we
do
20
sessions
for
sworn
employees
and
public
safety
dispatchers,
looking
at
average
number
of
sessions
utilized.
I
This
is
quite
a
bit
higher
and
again,
I
just
wanted
to
reiterate
this
is
per
incident.
So
if
there's
one
incident,
you
could
get
20
sessions.
Another
incident
you
would
get
another
20.
and
eap.
Benefits
are
intended
to
be
a
short-term
benefit
for
an
incident
and
if
long-term
benefits
are
needed,
that
is
where
we
there
would
be
referrals
to
anthem
or
kaiser
or
to
your
medical
provider.
I
So
our
recommendation
is
for
concern,
which
is
the
new
aap
company
to
replace
mhn
effective
january
1st
2023.
There
is
an
increased
cost
to
the
city
of
about
fifty
thousand
dollars.
That
would
be
the
premiums
for
calendar
year
2023
and
then
critical
incident
response
services
will
continue
to
be
built
on
a
fee
for
service
basis,
and
with
that
we
are
happy
to
answer
any
questions.
B
A
I
This
benefit
right
now
is
just
for
current
active
employees.
Retirees
are
not
eligible
for
it
other
than
when
they
retire.
They
can
continue
their
benefit
through
cobra,
but
they
do
have
access
to
mental
health
benefits
through
the
medical
providers,
so
anthem
or
kaiser
or
whatever,
if
they're,
on
a
different
plan
through
that
medical
provider.
Okay,
thank
you.
J
I
J
Okay,
I
I'd
appreciate
that,
and-
and
at
least
I
know,
many
of
the
retirees
are
concerned
at
a
lack
of
mental
health
care
post
once
they're
in
retirement
and
particularly
concerned
about
ptsd,
and
this
is
mostly
for
your
sworn
officers
and
firefighters,
so
they're
concerned
about
suicides
and
other
mental
health
issues
that
affect
them
once
they
leave
their
career.
So
I
I
would
really
appreciate
to
know
what
it
would
cost
to
add
in
the
retirees
and
and
what
that
might
look
like.
Thank
you.
J
That's
the
other
thing
I
want
thank
you
for
mentioning.
That
was
one
of
the
things
I
was
going
to
ask
you
about
is:
how
is
that
communicated
and
what
is
the
benefit
to
retirees
through
their,
whether
they
choose
anthem
or
kaiser,
or
whoever
they
can
choose
post
retirement?
What
kind
of
coverage
do
they.
A
J
A
J
B
A
M
M
I
think
that
there
needs
to
be
a
cost
analysis
of
what
the
projections
are
going
to
be
of
the
retirement
costs
of
the
city,
because,
basically,
what
we're
going
to
be
doing
is
we're
going
to
be
paying
out
all
of
this
money
for
the
employees
they're
not
producing
any
work,
we're
not
getting
anything
from
those
particular
workers
and
that's
fine.
They
did
their
time
and
they
got
the
return.
M
That's
fine,
but
those
costs
and
the
increasing
cost
of
both
medical
care
and
the
retirement
benefit
needs
to
be
analyzed
and
placed
within
the
context
of
these
topics
so
that
we
could
get
a
better
analysis
of
what
the
cost
is
gonna
be
rather
than
if
this
person
wants
anthem
or
cobra
it.
It
doesn't
matter
to
me
as
a
citizen
which
one
they
take
that's
a
personal
decision
that
they
have
to
make
between
them
and
their
spouses
and
their
families.
M
M
Those
need
to
be
calculated
in
the
context
of
this
conversation
so
that
we
can
get
a
better
comprehensive
view
of
what
it
is
that
we're
we're
talking
about
and
what
exactly
that's
going
to
mean
for
the
future
of
san
jose.
You
can
do
a
five-year
cost
analysis,
a
10-year
cost
analysis
and
a
15-year
cost
analysis
you're
going
to
have
baby
boomer
generations
they're
already
retiring
now-
and
this
is
the
largest
segment
of
the
workforce,
they're
all
going
into
retirement.
M
D
Hi,
yes,
I
wanted
to
just
state
that
I
agree
and
when
you
spoke,
I
can't
remember
who
it
was.
That's
spoken
to
the
microphone.
I
couldn't
hear
it
the
answer
about
the
retirees
I
heard
that
it
could
go
to
cobra
and
so
one
could
you
repeat
that
answer
into
the
microphone,
so
it
can
be
heard
and
then
I
had
to
follow
up.
I
Sure,
councilmember
esparza,
so
retirees
can
do
two
things.
One
is
when
they
retire.
They
can
continue
their
benefit
through
mhn
through
cobra
and
they
would
be
responsible
for
the
premium.
So
that
would
be
the
mhn
benefit,
but
they
can
only
do
that
for
18
months.
There
is
also
mental
health
benefits
available
in
both
anthem
and
kaiser.
D
I
I
A
D
Okay
and
then
what
we
saw
was
that
the
trending
number
and
I'm
not
sure
what
that
means.
A
trending
number
of
sessions
provided
by
eap
services
is
eight
per
incident
per
year.
So
is
that
a
median?
Is
that
an
industry-wide
median,
so
we
can
assume
that
some
might
be
more
and
some
might
be
less.
What
does
that
mean.
A
I
D
D
B
B
A
So,
actually,
the
pricing
from
concern
that
we're
paying
now
we
will
be
paying
for
the
non-sworn
is
going
up,
but
the
cost
for
the
the
sworn
and
public
safety
dispatchers
is
going
down,
and
that's
why
the
overall
cost
was
only
50
000
a
year
for
actually
a
larger
benefit.
In
that
we
are,
I
mean
we're
giving
him
20
sessions,
which
is
not
not
typical.
Like
I
said,
the
unlimited
is
not
typical,
but
we
weren't
also
getting
any
of
these
extra
bells
and
whistles
like
the
coaching
which
is
supposed
to
help
with
access.
A
B
A
B
I
No,
we
definitely
agree
with
that.
I
think
the
better
help,
part
of
it
and
the
app
and
being
able
to
do
a
lot
of
the
telehealth
part
there's
a
big
difference
between
making
an
appointment
having
to
get
in
your
car
drive
to
a
counselor
versus
being
able
to
just
in
your
privacy
of
your
own
home
by
yourself,
opening
up
your
laptop
and
being
able
to
have
that
communication.
B
B
I
Anthem
and
kaiser,
and
that's
what
that's
why
we
were
asking
the
office
of
retirement
services
when
this
issue
has
been
coming
up
to
make
sure
that
they're
communicating
that
to
the
retirees,
there's,
definitely
a
access
and
a
shortage
of
counselors
right
now.
So
I
know
there
has
been
problems
with
anthem
with
kaiser.
I've
personally
met
with
kaiser
over
it,
but
mhn
was
having
the
same
issues
so
sure
that
is
definitely
an
issue,
but
it's
not
a
matter
of
them
not
having
access
at
all.
B
M
This
is
a
this
is
a
park
that's
located
in
an
area
of
the
city
that
was,
you
know,
obviously
redlined
so
they're
to
to
not
come
to
the
meeting
and
not
think
that
the
public
deserves
or
has
like
as
a
right
to
have
any
kind
of
presentation.
This
is
a
land
use
issue.
This
is
a
park.
There
was
park
deficits
on
certain
parts
of
town.
I
mean
you
know
this
is
gonna
be
this
is
like,
like
you
know
what
it's
almost
like
you
guys.
Just
like
you
know
what
we
don't
care.
M
That's
why
I
come
to
these
meetings,
because
I
have
a
high
expectation
of
the
the
ethical
and
moral
policies,
the
ethical
and
moral
principles
that
are
in
your
policies
or
the
lack
of
the
moral
and
ethical
principles
in
your
policies.
That's
the
only
reason
why
I
spend
all
this
time
here
so
with
respect
to
just
a
particular
land
issue
that
to
come
to
the
meeting
and
say
to
the
public.
M
B
A
B
N
A
L
B
B
A
B
L
I
know
you
remember
that
in
may
of
21
council
approved
the
downtown
west
project,
along
with
a
roughly
200
million
community
200
million
dollar
community
benefits
package
that
also
included
155
million
dollar
fund
to
assist
anti-displacement
and
opportunities
for
education,
training,
small
business
support
and
more
the
downtown
west
efforts
included.
Extensive
community
outreach.
L
The
governance
objectives
and
the
fund
framework
is
very
exciting.
It's
a
new
model
for
decision
making,
it's
one
that
leads
its
first.
As
far
as
we
can
see
in
the
nation
of
empowering
residents
of
impacted
communities,
the
fund
will
provide
an
opportunity
to
bridge
lived
experience
with
those
of
local
leaders
and
service
providers,
and
we
have
a
commitment
to
data-driven
work,
a
framework
for
establishing
and
evaluating
outcomes,
and
there
will
be,
as
mandated
specified
by
council
checks
and
balances
to
aid
in
transparency.
L
O
O
The
commission
will
have
13
voting
members,
including
at
least
five
members,
with
lived
experience
in
the
program
areas
that
the
fund
will
serve
as
well
as
eight
members
with
technical
expertise
in
relevant
fields.
The
commission
will
also
have
non-voting
members,
three
city
representatives
and
one
from
google,
with
the
option
to
add
additional
non-voting
seats.
O
O
So,
with
respect
to
terms
members
will
serve
four-year
terms
with
the
option
for
reappointment
for
no
more
than
two
consecutive
terms
of
the
13
initial
members.
Six
will
have
two-year
terms
to
start
which
will
enable
about
half
of
the
commission
to
turn
over
or
get
reappointed
every
other
year.
Staff
is
recommending
the
addition
of
an
alternate
member
that
can
serve
in
place
of
any
voting
member
as
needed
next
slide.
O
O
So
the
city
manager's
office
will
conduct
the
application
and
evaluation
process
for
the
membership
in
coordination
with
the
clerk
city,
attorney's
office
and
office
of
racial
equity.
The
city
manager's
office
will
then
recommend
a
slate
to
city
council
as
part
of
a
regular
meeting
and
staff
will
provide
all
qualified
applications
as
part
of
the
staff
report.
L
B
A
Thank
you.
My
name
is
mary
helen
dougherty
and
in
partnership
with
a
broad
coalition
of
faith,
labor
and
grassroots
community
partners.
We
are
grateful
and
excited
regarding
the
creation
of
this
fund.
In
addition
to
having
funding
readily
available
to
combat
displacement,
we
are
also
very
supportive
of
community
members
with
lived
experience
deciding
how
stabilization
fund
dollars
are
allocated.
A
M
Yes,
paul
soto
from
the
horseshoe
one
of
the
things
that
was
conspicuously
absent
from
the
discussion
was
a
representative
from
the
horseshoe
from
the
gardner
at
chicano.
I'm
not
talking
about
no
caucasian
or
no
asian.
I'm
talking
about
a
chicano
that
has
lived
in
that
area
that
was
conspicuously
absent
from
the
table.
You
got
somos
mayfair,
you
got
sb
rising.
You
got
working
partnerships
and
rebecca
armandos.
M
M
I've
sent
the
emails
to
the
city,
the
cities
in
possession
of
those
emails
that
were
that
were
generated
by
repercus.
She
admitted
to
it.
She
was
working
in
2016.
that
was
one
year
before
the
land
sale
to
google.
So
how
is
it
that
she
is
going
to
be
working
on
these
committees
in
order
to
make
this
deal
go
through
one
year
before
it
was
even
discussed
at
council?
M
The
reason
why
is
because
there
was
three
members
district
six
I
mean
district
three
district,
five
and
and
the
mayor
all
non-disclosure
agreement,
signatories
on
that
nondisclosure
agreement.
The
legitimacy
of
this
of
this
deal
is
in
question
and
it's
it's
gonna
get
challenged
because
you
have
no
representative
no
chicano
from
there,
but
you
got
everybody
from
the
east
side.
M
But
yet
google
is
going
to
be
literally
around
the
block
from
the
horseshoe
and
what
that's
going
to
do
is
it's
going
to
create
an
economic
pressure
on
the
chicanos
that
live
in
that
area
and
it's
going
to
constantly
it's
going
to
squeeze
them
out
and
that
has
not
been
discussed.
That
needs
to
be
put
on
this
table
and
if
you
don't,
then
you're
irresponsible.
E
Good
afternoon,
mayor
and
council,
my
name
is
wesley
castro
working
partnerships.
I'm
proud
to
stand
alongside
a
broad
coalition
of
faith,
flavor
and
grassroots
community
partners
to
express
our
excitement
for
this
really
monumental
opportunity
with
the
creation
of
this
fund,
along
with
having
dollars
readily
available
to
complete
to
combat
displacement.
We're
also
very
supportive
of
this
model
where
community
members
with
lived
experience
are
going
to
have
the
ability
to
decide
how
stabilization
fund
dollars
are
being
allocated.
E
In
that
spirit,
we'd
like
to
express
our
support
for
staff's
recommendation,
as
well
as
the
amendment
laid
out
in
council
member
crossbows
memo
to
allow
for
greater
participation
throughout
this
process
from
the
commission
that
will
be
overseeing
this
fund.
Thank
you
very
much,
and
we
very
much
look
forward
to
the
continuation
of
this
work.
E
Yes,
hi
good
afternoon,
my
name
is
leticia
alvarez
and
I
work
for
soccer
heart
community
service.
I'm
here
to
provide
comments
on
this
item,
and
I
just
want
to
thank
our
council
member
magdalena
carrasco
for
drafting
this
memo
and
then
also.
This
is
a
great
opportunity
for
the
community
to
have
their
voice
being
heard,
and
this
will
be
possible
to
this
advisory
committee.
So
they
are
very.
They
are
the
experts
when
it
comes
to
live
experience.
E
So
that's
why
I'm
very
grateful
for
this
memoir
and
I
urge
the
council
to
vote
in
favor
of
of
passing
this
memo.
Also
it's
time
for
for
the
city
of
san
jose
to
do
the
right
thing
in
favor
of
the
community,
which
is
just
moving
forward
with
this
and
very
excited
to
continue
working
with
the
community
and
see
these
members
applying
for
this
opportunity
of
being
part
of
the
advisory
committee.
Thank
you.
E
Good
afternoon
council,
this
is
alex
shore
executive
director
of
catalyze
sv
just
wanted
to
affirm
our
comments
and
support.
From
last
year,
around
the
community
engagement
components,
bringing
community
close
to
decision
making
and
dollars
is
such
a
good
practice
and
lots
of
praise
to
the
community
groups
who
advocated
for
this,
the
council
members
who
supported
it
and
the
city
staff
who's
moved
it
forward.
Just
an
outstanding
example
of
quality,
community
engagement
and
councilmember
carrasco's
memo
looks
good
too
so
like
to
see
that
and
supportive
of
that.
So
just
thank
you
again
to
staff.
E
You
know
there
are
plenty
of
meetings
where
we're
asking
for
you
for
things
or
critiquing
things,
and
we
just
also
like
to
come
and
make
sure
that
we're
praising
folks
when
they're
doing
great
work,
especially
when
it's
on
an
issue
of
such
importance
to
catalyze
this
vnr
members,
good
community
engagement
that
emphasizes
equity.
So
thank
you
so
much
council
staff
and
other
folks
in
the
city.
K
Thank
you
mayor.
I
just
want
to
take
the
opportunity
to
thank
laurie
and
nancy
for
all
their
work
on
developing
this
trailblazing.
Commission
glad
that
we
we
have
got
here,
and
I
actually
absolutely
agree
with
the
with
the
public
comment
about
greater
gardner
needing
to
be
represented
on
this
on
this
commission,
and
I
know
that
we
will
continue
to.
K
F
K
So
this
total
fund
should
be
divided
into
like
for
newborn
babies
and
newborn
moms
k1
to
k-12
education,
community
college
education,
bsms
and
phd
students
who
are
reciting
san
jose
how
they
can
help
san
jose
city
or
communities
of
stabilization
opportunity.
So
it's
pretty
divided
evenly
or
according
to
the
population.
K
F
Yes,
thank
you.
I
I
just
wanted
to
also
extend
my
gratitude
to
nancy
and
to
the
entire
team.
That's
been
working
on
this.
This
is
a
monumental
moment,
as
we
continue
to
move
forward
and
and
and
decide
the
future
of
san
jose
many
folks
who
are
very
interested
in
in
being
engaged
and
participating
and
contributing.
We've
heard
it
for
the
past
several
years.
F
I
just
wanted
to
thank
all
the
members
of
the
community
who
continue
to
stay
engaged
and
those
who
will
be
part
of
the
commission.
This
is
a
a
lot
of
very
important
work,
critical
work
for
our
downtown
area,
but
truly
as
it's
going
to
resonate
throughout
the
entire
city,
I'm
I'm
grateful
for
the
commitment.
Thank
you
mayor.
P
Thank
you
mayor.
I'm
just
gonna
join
in
with
congratulating
staff,
our
community
members
and
everyone
who
contributed,
including
my
colleagues,
to
where
we
are
right
now,
and
so
this
is
wonderful
work.
This
is
great
work.
I
also
agree
that
there
probably
should
be
a
greater
level
of
participation,
representation
from
those
neighborhoods
that
are
going
to
be
impacted
the
most,
but
this
is
a
a
change
that
will
be
for
all
san
jose
and
one
of
the
things
that
we
did
earlier
this
week
were
or
gosh
was.
P
Was
it
last?
Oh,
my
gosh
for
neighborhood
services
committee,
which
I'm
and
that
is
to
we?
We
are
looking
at
the
proposed
equity
round
table,
and
this
was
where
this
is
a
committee
or
a
roundtable
advisory
committee
that
came
out
of
the
restructuring
of
the
human
services
media.
If
you
all
remember,
we
couldn't
get
forum
to
for
that
for
that
committee
and
it
hadn't
met
for
many
years,
and
so
sulma
massiel
from
our
office
of
race,
race
and
equity
has
been
leading
that
and
then
they've
done.
P
That
was
because
they
understand
that
in
between
the
meetings,
there
is
some
feedback
that
is
needed
from
those
committee
members
or
advisory
members
and
and
that
work
should
also
be
recognized
whether
they
actually
make
you
know
officially
they
make
the
meeting
or
not.
Is
this
something
that
we
could
also
carry
over
into
this
group?
P
As
I
believe,
this
is
the
best
practice
that
our
office
of
race
and
equity
are
establishing
within
this,
this
advisory
group,
which
is
going
to
take
the
place
of
the
human
services
commission
and
I'd
love
to
tell
you
the
name
of
it,
but
they
haven't
come
to
that
decision
just
yet.
I
think,
but
don't
quote
me:
it's
going
to
be
san
jose
for
all.
L
P
L
And
mayor,
thank
you
very
much
for
the
question
this
year.
You
are
tapping
into
an
issue
that
was
very
much
a
subject
of
a
lot
of
discussion.
We
so
thank
you
for
that.
We
had
been
looking
at
the
models
that
were
already
established
in
the
city,
including
most
recently
council
had
worked
on
the
hcd
committee,
housing
community
development
committee
and
the
model
that
the
committee
used
was
for
attendance,
paying
the
200
dollars
and
it
was
a
200
amount.
L
P
Yes,
I
am
I'm
asking
if
we
can
maybe
take
a
have
this
group
or
a
representative
connect
with
the
office
of
race
and
equity,
so
that
we
can
be
fair
to
those
committee.
Members
are
those
folks
who
we're
asking
to
attend
our
meetings,
especially
when
they
have
to
miss
out
on
some
work
or
have
to
be
away
from
their
home
and
have
to
take
public
transportation
or
just
even
gas.
P
These
days
is
very
expensive,
so
it
would
be
wonderful
to
have
a
standardized
way,
a
standardized
approach
to
stipends,
especially
for
those
advisory
groups.
Once
again,
thank
you
so
much
for
all
the
really
great
work.
I'm
really
excited
about
this
next
phase,
and
I
know
the
rest
of
our
our
community
is
too,
as
you've
heard.
B
Okay,
I
I
just
wanted
to
say
I
thank
you
again
to
everybody.
Who's
been
working
collaboratively
on
this
effort,
certainly
lori
and
nancy,
but
also
so
many
in
the
community.
We
know
this
is
a
still
a
lot
of
work
to
do.
We
got
a
couple
years
before
this
thing
is
really
up
and
running,
but
I
think
what's
really
critically
important.
That's
been
accomplished
now.
B
Is
that
the
tone
and
and
the
dialogue
around
this
really
important
investment
in
our
city
has
changed
dramatically,
and
I
hope
that
we
can
see
that
by
all
pushing
together,
we
can
expand
a
lot
of
opportunity
for
an
awful
lot
of
our
residents.
Who've
been
struggling
without
enough
opportunity
for
too
many
years,
and
I
think
that's
really
positive
development
through
all
this.
So
I
look
forward
to
continue
to
to
push
together
and
and
make
this
work
worthwhile
for
everyone.
L
This
request,
as
the
mayor
already
mentioned,
what
is
for
council
approval
of
consulting
services,
not
only
consulting
services
but
in
addition,
other
resources
that
not
only
oed
but
other
departments
and
council
offices
can
take
advantage
of.
What
we're
specifically
recommending
to
you
today
is
adopt
a
resolution
authorizing
the
city
manager
to
negotiate
and
execute
up
to
nine
master
agreements
for
on-call
community
engagement
consultants
for
terms
through
the
end
of
june
2024
for
a
total
amount
of
compensation
spread
over
all
nine
or
four
million
dollars.
L
We're
also
asking
that,
if
needed,
that
the
agreements
could
be
extended
for
an
additional
two
years
and
that
we
negotiate
and
execute
amendments
to
the
master
agreements
to
shift
dollars
between
them
so
that
we
can
make
most
efficient
and
optimize
the
use
between
the
agreements,
and
that
would
be
the
under
the
authority
of
the
city
manager
and
you'll,
hear
a
little
bit
more
about
this
through
the
presentation.
But
we're
also
asking
that
staff
be
allowed
to
conduct
a
separate
procurement
process
for
establishing
a
bench
of
on-call
community-based
organizations.
L
O
O
O
Some
of
these
consultants
provide
all
of
the
services
listed
in
the
rfp,
while
others
specialize
in
a
subset.
So
these
services
include
assistance
with
community
advisory
committees,
meeting
facilitation
event,
planning
engagement
strategy
and
implementation,
communications
and
outreach
support,
needs
assessment
and
process
evaluation
next
slide.
O
O
L
The
other
piece-
that's
that's
important-
is
that
through
the
process,
we
we
recognize
that
it's
important
to
make
sure
that
cbos
and
non-profits
have
the
opportunity
to
do
this
work.
They
pro
they
provide
a
very
important
network
to
communities
that
they
are
most
affiliated
with,
and
we
believe
that
they
could
expand
their
offerings
if
given
the
chance
to
do
additional
work.
A
Q
Greetings,
my
name
is
carmen
gaines
and
I
work
as
the
associate
director
with
local
color,
a
non-profit
organization
uplifting
and
advocating
for
the
creative
communities
in
san
jose.
I
appreciate
the
privilege
of
participating
in
last
week's
meeting,
and
this
was
this
week's
meeting
to
comment
on
this
memo.
Q
However,
this
is
a
privilege
I
am
providing
comment
today
in
favor
for
another
bench,
specific
open
call
specifically
for
cbo's
and
nonprofits
the
work
we
do
already
exemplifies
the
power
of
community-based
organizations
to
reach
and
conduct
community
engagement
in
a
way
that
reaches
people
where
they
are
and
specific
areas,
and
also
the
unique
specific
areas
that
we're
already
in
touch
with.
Thank
you
for
the
collaboration
and
communication,
thus
far
in
considering
and
adding
this
memo
to
today's
agenda
and
considering
an
amendment
to
the
master
agreements
for
community
engagement
consultants.
Q
The
resources
this
contract
could
provide
would
have
a
rippling
effect
for
the
commonwealth
of
the
communities
that
we
are
already
in
deeply
engaged
with
and
will
provide
new
opportunities
for
us
to
grow
through
the
resources
of
a
master
agreement
contract.
These
comments
also
relate
in
favor
to
the
previous
agenda
item
1.8.1.
M
That's
the
horseshoe
okay,
so
so
so
to
leave
this
barrio
out
and
a
representative
that
has
studied
the
redlining
documents
for
five
years.
I
have
all
of
them.
Five
years
I've
studied
the
economics
of
the
area.
I've
studied
the
sociological
impacts
of
the
area.
I
am
a
generational
descendant
of
that
area
and
sasi
puedes.
You
can't
get
a
better
informed
citizen
that
is
engaged
than
myself.
M
It
just
doesn't
exist
in
the
city,
there's
there's
over
260
000
mexicans
in
the
city
or
latinos
over
260
000,
and
there
isn't
one
person
that
is
doing
the
work
on
the
scale
that
I'm
doing
I'm
in
housing
issues,
land
issues,
parks
and
recreation,
the
jails,
the
police,
the
community
relations
with
the
police
department
and
the
community.
These
are
this
is
what
I
do
why
and
why
am
I
effective
in
doing
what
it
is
that
I'm
doing,
because
I
know
the
area?
M
I
know
what
it's
like
to
grow
up
in
systemic
racist
policies.
I
know
what
it's
like
to
experience
institutionalized
racism,
no
one's
going
to
teach
me
anything
about
that.
What
you
can
do
is
you
can
sit
down
and
be
taught
about
the
generational
impacts
of
all
of
those
policies.
But
it's
like
you
don't
want
that.
You
reject
that
and
because
you
reject
that
the
legitimacy
of
a
policy
is
rejected.
A
G
Sv
you
heard
from
our
executive
director
alex
shore
earlier
today.
We
are
very
happy
and
encouraged
to
see
the
progress
that
this
agenda
item
has
made.
Thank
you
so
much
to
the
oed
staff,
particularly
lori,
for
her
cooperation
and
transparency,
as
we've
explored
this
project
with
her
we're
very
happy
to
see
the
cbo's
and
the
nonprofit
community
considered
in
this
supplemental
item.
We're
very
excited
to
also
hear
the
updated
timeline
and
and
know
that
this
is
a
priority.
That's
going
to
be
fulfilled
this
year.
G
One
outstanding
question
that
I
do
have
is:
how
will
the
funding
for
the
cpos
and
nonprofits
compare
to
the
to
the
max
contract
amounts
that
are
being
provided
to
the
private
firms?
That's
one
piece
of
information
that
we
have
not
received,
but
other
than
that
we're
very
excited
to
continue
working
with
oeb
and
the
council
members
and
their
staff
on
increasing
community
engagement
and
representation
in
the
development
process.

Hello,
my
name
is
claire
kennedy
and
I'm
speaking
on
behalf
of
the
silicon
valley
council
of
nonprofits,
spcn
would
like
to
express
support
of
the
staff
recommendations
outlined
in
the
supplemental
memo
from
assistant
director
klein,
specifically
the
creation
of
a
bunch
of
community-based
organizations
to
assist
the
city
with
with
community
engagement
processes,
as
expressed
in
the
memo.
Svcn
also
believes
cbo's
can
help
engage
harder
to
reach
populations,
improve
credibility
of
processes
and
generate
more
equitable
outcomes
that
will
enrich
any
outreach.
The
city
wishes
to
pursue
in
the
future.
A
E
Hi,
my
name
is
giovanni
medina
and
I'm
just
a
representative
on
behalf
of
some
of
the
some
of
the
chicano
people
in
my
community.
I
just
wanted
to
be
a
second
voice
for
the
the
gentleman
earlier
speaking
on
horseshoe
and
thanks
sylvia
arenas,
because
it's
true
when
we
reach
out
it
seems
like
you
guys,
don't
listen
and
a
lot
of
times
I
get
cut
off
myself,
so
just
wanted
to
be
another
voice
for
them
and
thank
them
for
speaking
up.
That's
my
time.
Thank
you.
H
H
L
Thank
you
again
for
the
question.
In
the
in
the
first
process,
the
the
work
was
directed
to
consultants
and
cbo
nonprofits
and,
in
the
course
of
doing
the
rfp
work
itself,
we
found
that
non-profits
and
cbo's
who,
who
may
not
be
as
familiar
going
through
these
types
of
processes,
especially
the
city
requirements,
just
the
the
loading
the
the
process
in
on
badingo
has
some
challenge
to
it
in
and
of
itself
honestly
that
we
didn't
get
responses
that
were
successful.
L
H
It
and
then
how
do
we
evaluate
for
just
an
for
the
outreach
portion?
I
understand
there
are
a
lot
of
different
capabilities
we're
looking
at
here,
but
for
outreach.
Some
feedback,
I've
heard
from
my
constituents
is
sometimes
not
feeling
like
they've
been
reached
out
to,
and
obviously
our
office
does
our
best
to
do
that
when
we're
aware
that
staff
is
looking
for
community
input,
but
we've
we've
had
some
cases
recently
where
we
haven't
always
known
and
then
the
answer
from
staff
to
the
community
has
been
well.
H
H
L
L
So
that
is
an
ongoing
challenge.
There's
been
other
work
by
the
housing
department
in
the
department
of
planning
and
the
housing
element
and
other
pieces
that
are
now
modeling
and
pushing
how
to
get
to
more
people
and
more
efficiently
with
a
wide
range
of
possible
avenues.
Looking
at
data
sets
that
perhaps
we
could
make
available,
and
that
would
be
probably
for
the
larger
or
experienced
consultants,
but
also
how
can
we
build
capacity
by
doing
work
and
learning
from
it
through
the
cbos
and
non-profits?
L
H
Yeah-
and
that
leads
to
what's-
I
guess
probably
my
last
question
here,
which
is
just
obviously
we
need
a
range
of
capabilities
and
strategies
and
tactics
from
the
very
offline,
interpersonal,
promotoras
and
knocking
on
doors,
and
you
know
very
manual
outreach
through
personal
networks.
We
also
need
some
consultants,
who
are
best
in
class
at
using
digital
technology,
to
cast
a
really
wide
net
and
reach
people
where
they're
spending
a
lot
of
time.
I
couldn't
tell
from
the
memo
in
that
latter
category
really
for
either
it
wasn't.
It
didn't
seem
specific
enough
to
me.
H
I
I
at
least
it
didn't
answer
for
me.
The
question
of:
are
we
really
identifying?
Does
our
bench
include
that
wide
range
of
capabilities
at
a
very
high
level
of
quality
I
mean?
Are
we
confident
that
there
are
groups
in
here
that
can
make
really
great
short
form
video
content
or
can
run
online
advertising
campaigns
at
one
end
of
the
spectrum
or
can
do
the
very
offline
rooted
in
the
community
more
manual
outreach?
Do
we
feel
like
that
range
of
capabilities
is
really
represented
here.
L
O
There
are
a
couple
that
really
specialize
in
certain
things,
so,
for
example,
emc
specializes
in
the
community
needs
assessment
and
they're
a
you
know
very
experienced
firm,
doing
really
interesting
surveys
and
detailed
work
in
that
realm.
So
a
lot
of
digital
work,
but
we
we
do
expect
these
consultants
to
to
implement
a
wide
range
of
methods,
and
sometimes
that
might
be
the
door-to-door
knocking.
It
might
be
more.
O
H
Okay
and
then
sorry,
I
promise
is
the
last
one
at
that
service
order
stage.
So,
based
on
what
I
just
heard,
I
assume
we
can
combine
different
consultants
who
have
different
strengths,
have
two
or
three
of
them
working
together
on
the
same
project.
Absolutely
what
have
we
learned
in
recent
years
about
setting
the
objective
success,
measures
that
help
us
ensure
that
when
we
do
execute
a
service
order
with
one
or
more
groups
that
they're
delivering
the
kind
of
impact
in
terms
of
community
engagement
that
we
want
to
see.
L
Also,
an
area,
we're
learning
and
very
much
paying
attention
to
what
gets
measured
gets
done,
and
so
it's
it
is
a
process
and
looking
and
working
with
the
multiple
departments
as
well
as
community
partners
in
in
what
is
the
goal.
What
are
what
is
our
objective
and
key
results
in
order
to
guide
us
for
those
service
orders.
J
Thank
you
thank
you
for
the
presentation,
lori
and
nancy,
and
I'm
just
going
to
follow
up
on
some
of
the
questions
that
council
member
mahan
had
so
you
had
mentioned
that
the
council
offices
could
hire
these
consultants
as
well.
What
would
be
the
process
for
that
and
how
would
we
know,
which
might
be
the
best
consultant
to
fit
our
particular
needs
at
that
time?
L
Thank
you
for
the
question.
Absolutely
council
office
would
allocate
funds
much
as
every
department
will
allocate
funds
and
lori
provided
in
the
information.
The
the
basis
of
the
applications
of
what
the
each
provider
would
build
by.
We
can
make
sure
council
offices
have
that
as
well,
so
that
there's
perfect
clarity,
transparency
before
you
would
embark
on
a
particular
effort.
L
J
L
J
I
I
appreciate
that
I
really
see
that
hiring
one
of
these
consultants
could
be
really
beneficial
to
a
council
office,
especially
a
district
like
mine.
Currently
that
has
a
lot
of
affordable
housing
projects
coming
in
that
we
do
a
tremendous
amount
of
outreach,
but
the
outreach
we
do
is
this
neighborhood
in
that
neighborhood
in
this
neighborhood
and
it's
a
little
bit
scatter
shot.
J
We
try
to
stay
focused
on
the
area
that
we're
looking
at,
but
as
soon
as
we
bring
up
one
area,
then
another
area
wants
to
know
when's
the
community
outreach
in
that,
and
it
may
not
be
far
enough
along
but
to
even
have
a
community
meeting.
But
so
outreach
is
really
extremely
important
and
we
think
we
know
how
to
do
it
at
a
council
office,
but
we
we
don't
necessarily
so
it
will
be.
I
feel
very
beneficial
to
utilize
the
expertise
of
these
consultants.
N
D
D
L
Councilmember,
thank
you
very,
very
much
for
the
question.
Originally,
what
we
set
out
to
do
was
include
consultants
and
the
cbo's
non
and
non-profits.
So
we
agree
with
you.
It's
really
important
to
include
community-based
organization
and
non-profits
in
the
efforts
with
the
city.
They
they
do
an
incredible
work,
in
fact,
in
many
instances,
they're
the
ones
who
know
their
communities
or
most
instances
very
much
the
best,
and
we
need
to
address
that
an
example
was
in
downtown
westwork.
L
We
did
have
consultants
who
had
done
a
lot
of
work
in
other
areas
and
provided
a
really
great
service
that
that
really
voted
well
and
did
well
for
the
community,
but
we
also
hired
seven
local
community-based
organizations
to
reach
into
their
organizations
or
their
networks
to
provide
assistance.
That
was
really
pivotal
groups
like
even
san
jose
jazz
or
the
aksa
or
somos,
mayfair
or
or
others.
We
totally
agree
with
you
that
capacity
building
for
our
community
based
organizations
and
non-profits
is
essential.
L
L
There
are
one
in
particular
group
that
we're
trying
to
move
forward
with
if
this
is
approved
by
council,
with
an
effort
from
one
of
the
consultants,
whoever
wins
or
gets
the
allocation
based
on
the
process
identified
to
you
just
a
few
slides
ago.
So
we
have
a
a
need
to
proceed,
but
we
also
very
much
agree
with
what
you
were
saying
about,
including
community-based
organizations
and
non-profits
for
multiple
reasons.
L
L
D
L
L
L
L
The
the
funding
can
either
be
allocated
from
the
four
million
dollars
and
then,
if
the
funding
dwindles
more
quickly,
we
come
back
to
council
and
or
it's
also
possible
for
us
to
establish
when
we
come
back
to
you,
its
own
pool
of
and
up
to
limit.
So
that
is
definitely
something
that
we
can
consider
in
in
both
ways
from
your
would
you
would
you
share,
which
way
you
would
prefer.
L
So
no
problem,
so
we
are
targeting
by
midich
top
mid-october
and
then
we'll
have
the
pre-proposal
conference.
Before
that,
we
were
going
to
suggest
having
the
rf
out
for
a
month
to
give
a
bit
more
time
and
we're
also
very
much
open
to
hearing
people
or
non-profits
or
cbo's
share
what
timing.
They
believe.
That
would
be
beneficial.
D
D
The
cbo
rfp
aligns
with
that
so
that
in
the
future
we
will
be
able
to
do
one
inclusive
of
all
and
my
preference
would
be
to
have
them
both
be
able
to
access
the
four
million.
The
same
four
million
that
we're
approving
today,
because
it's
up
to
four
million
and
then
and
then
we
can
add
to
that
at
a
later
date.
That
can
go
out
to
both
the
consultants
as
well
as
the
cbo's.
D
I
just
I
think
this
is
really
important
and
and
I'm
drawing
on
the
experience
of
the
past
two
and
a
half
years
where,
frankly,
council
offices
have
to
step
in
and
do
a
lot
of
on-the-ground
work
and
then
and
then
we
rely
on
our
cbo
partners
david.
You
might
want
to
mute
and-
and
we
rely
on
our
cbo
partners
on
on
the
past
two
and
a
half
years,
and
so
I
do
think
that
we
have
asked
them
to
help
us.
D
D
And
I
do
think
that
having
cbo's
and
businesses
and
the
consultants
out
there,
you
know,
frankly,
some
may
do
the
same
thing.
Others
may
do
something
better,
but
what
we're
approving
in
front
of
us
is
actually
a
menu
of
options
so
that
we're
approving
all
of
these
consultants
and
then
we
as
a
city
can
use
whatever
piece
on
the
menu
that
we
need,
and
so
it
shouldn't
we
shouldn't
have
to
differentiate
between
our
cbo's
and
our
consultant
partners.
D
D
L
O
Basically,
all
of
the
firms
are
bay
area
firms
and
they've
all
done
work
for
the
city
of
san
jose.
Three
of
the
nine
did
qualify
for
the
local
and
small
business
preference,
meaning
that
they
have
a
presence
in
san
jose,
so
local
to
the
city.
Yeah
a
couple
do
national
work
but
they're,
almost
mostly
bay
area
based
in
where
they
serve
so.
O
P
O
P
P
O
P
There
is
not
one
council
member
here,
maybe
with
the
exception
of
of
the
mayor,
that
knows
all
of
the
city,
and
that
knows
all
of
these
neighborhoods
throughout
the
city
and
that
at
any
moment's
notice
can
connect
with
some
of
these
folks.
And
so
that's
what
we're
asking
some
of
these
consultants
to
do.
P
We
know
that
this
is
a
a
model
that
works
with
our
community
that
I'm
frankly,
I'm
concerned
about
the
most.
I'm
not
concerned
about
the
people
that
tap
into
the
surveys
and
have
the
resources
to
understand
how
it
is
to
get
on
a
zoom
call.
I
mean
a
zoom
meeting
and
and
give
us
feedback,
because
those
are
the
people
that
we
normally
rely
on.
I
want
us
to
expand,
especially
if
we
are
investing
4
million
dollars.
P
Our
kiddos
are
going
to
miss
out
of
great
recreational
and
camps
and
summer
camps.
If
we
don't
get
them
registered,
so
could
you
please
refer
some
families
over
and
that's
how
we
get
some
of
our
spots
filled
now,
not
every
we're
not
going
to
be
there
ever
each
and
every
time,
and
so
I
think
we
need
to
make
sure
that
we
learn
from
our
lessons
and
build
that
into
this
upcoming
rfp
proposal.
P
That
will
that
we're
going
to
see
in
october,
especially
as
we
look
back
at
all
of
the
conversations
that
we've
had
around
outreach.
So
I
I'm
I'm
going
to
expect
to
see
some
of
those
needs
that
we've
expressed
on
behalf
of
our
community
really
addressed
in
this
rfp
in
this
upcoming
rfp
and
somehow
make
sure
that
these
two
segments
of
of
consultants,
whether
they're,
cbos
or.
L
Just
to
say
once
again
thank
you
and
we
we
do
agree.
We
want
to
make
sure
that
the
cbo's
who
are
very
expert
in
their
networks,
actually
get
paid
for
and
can
continue
to
get
benefit
of
capacity
building
through
the
work
and
or
other
resources
that
we're
able
to
to
direct
toward
them.
So
we
definitely
will
be
taking
in
the
insights
provided
by
council
and
including
in
the
rfp
as
it
moves
forward
and
then
comes
back
to
you.
B
Okay,
thank
you
I'll
offer
a
slightly
different
perspective.
I
guess
I
always
have
to
be
the
oddball.
I
I
appreciate
a
lot
of
the
comments
have
been
said
and
I
think
there's
real
value,
for
example,
and
what
we've
done
in
the
past
in
exploring
the
promotora
model,
I
think
that's
been
very
valuable
and
I
don't
doubt
that
consultants
are
often
helpful,
particularly
given
how
short
staffed
we
are.
We
know
it's
true
in
every
department.
B
I
guess
the
question
I
had
is:
is
there
any
hope
that,
among
this
consultant
pool
among
the
the
folks
that
we
have,
I
know
they
all
have
different
skills
and
specializations
and
so
forth?
But
is
there
any
hope
that
any
of
these
consultants
could
actually
help
us
to
exercise
the
muscle
to
get
stronger
internally
in
community
outreach?
B
So
that's
sort
of
the
question.
Let
me
just
tell
you
sort
of
the
underlying
bias
in
all
that
which
is,
in
my
view,
I
am
concerned.
My
bias
is
that
I'm
concerned
about
an
approach
that
says
for
the
city
to
go
communicate
effectively
with
its
residents.
We
need
to
go
hire
somebody
our
job
is
to
serve
our
residents,
and
I
know
we
all
take
that
job
very
seriously.
All
of
us
and.
B
We
get
paid
to
serve
our
residents.
That
means
we
have
to
communicate
with.
Our
residents
means
we
need
to
listen
to
our
residents
and
all
those
things
are
things
that
I
know
we
do,
but
we
don't
always
do
them
well
or
perfectly.
You
know,
there's
always
challenges
and
all
that,
and
I
know
that
at
times,
look
as
we're
all
trying
to
move
very
fast
and
we're
all
understaffed
that
means
sometimes
balls
are
dropped
or
or
communication
is
missed,
with
critical
communities.
B
That
should
be
heard,
and
I
I
guess
I'm
worried
that
we
develop
a
pattern
of
dependency
on
other
folks
to
go
talk
to
our
residents
for
us
rather
than
strengthening
the
muscle
internally,
so
that
in
every
key
department
that's
public
facing.
We
know
it's
not
true
in
every
department,
I'm
not
expecting.
L
Mayor
lori
might
also,
but
let
me
let
me
have
a
comment,
but
let
me
start
out,
I
I
believe
it's
a
personally
from
experience
on
downtown
west
and
other
intense
community
outreach
and
engagement
efforts.
It's
a
both,
and
so
I
think
it's
really
important
that
city
staff
understand
and
be
thoughtful
and
strategic
and
respectful
about
the
communities
that
we're
trying
to
reach
out
to,
and
I
I
think
we
are
learning
we.
We
brought
on
laurie
in
great
part
for
the
community
engagement
effort.
L
She
she
helped
very
much
work
in
partnership
with
communities
directly
as
well
as
bringing
on
consultants
who
would
expand
that
reach.
So
it
was
definitely
a
hand
in
glove
effort
and
her
skill
set
has
supported
efforts,
for
example
on
the
housing
element.
Another
pd
related
outreach
effort
so
that
we
we
are
doing
both.
L
O
Yeah
I'll
just
say
when
I
started
at
the
city
four
years
ago,
I
was
not
a
community
engagement,
specialist
and
I've
gone
through
a
bit
of
a
boot
camp
and
leading
the
dear
dawn
efforts,
and
I
really
see
there's
just
a
need
for
all
kinds
of
resources,
whether
it's
dedicated
staff
that
can
really
learn
community
engagement
and
be
that
coordinator
on
behalf
of
the
city
and
be
that
point
person
with
the
public.
But
our
consultant
teams
just
really
bring
a
lot
of
value
to
the
table.
O
They
are
able
to
do
a
lot
of
the
grunt
work
that
actually
enables
staff
to
have
more
direct
communication
with
the
public.
You
know
if
I
had
to
spend
all
my
time
writing
the
meeting
summaries
and
doing
kind
of
the
behind
the
scenes
work.
I
wouldn't
be
able
to
call
up
our
stationery
advisory
group
members
and
develop
that
one-on-one
relationship.
O
So
it's
really
a
team
effort
and
our
consultants
bring
in
a
lot
of
ideas
and
experience
from
other
cities
and
they
teach
us
a
lot.
I
really
I
totally
empathize
with
the
sentiment
of
building
our
own
muscles
for
this,
and
I
do
think
consultants
and
cbo
partners
can
teach
us
a
lot
and
we
can
teach
them.
We
can
build
capacity
together.
O
L
N
Yes,
I
did
and
really
appreciate
the
conversation
from
everyone,
and
I
did
want
to
re-address
some
of
the
the
council
discussion
on.
You
know
what
happened
during
the
pandemic
and
would
certainly
agree
with
council
member
mayhem
and
needing
to
broaden
the
tools
and
avenues
we
use
and
who
we
reach
out
to
it's.
You
know
we.
We
live
in
a
very
diverse
city,
which
is
great,
and
it
requires
a
lot
of
different
avenues
and
tools
to
reach
our
residents,
which
is
good.
N
You
know
the
direction
the
council
member
uranus,
you
brought
up,
which
is
very
important:
the
promotorus
and
the
resources
that
we've
received
around
recovery,
which
is
you
know,
rosalind,
hughie
and
rob
lloyd
in
our
office,
with
irelia
bailey
and
carlos
velasquez,
being
able
to
have
those
resources
to
the
mayor's
point
where
we're
building
internal
muscle
and
really
practicing
in
the
recovery
effort
and
and
not
just
for
recovery.
But
we
also
view
that
the
manager's
office
is
for
the
organization
as
well,
because
it
is
a
tool
that
we
need
to
strengthen
flex
and
practice.
N
More
often
so
as
part
of
that
and
part
of
rosalind's
work
in
the
recovery
effort
is
to
build
out
a
roadmap
for
us
internally
around
community
engagement
and
community
outreach.
So
the
departments
have
these
tools.
These
resources
and
part
of
that
is
going
to
be
her
first
training
with
senior
and
executive
staff
in
the
city
in
october,
around
civic
engagement
and
some
of
the
lessons
learned
from
that
recovery
process.
N
B
Yeah,
I
appreciate
everyone's
responses
here
and
I
think
this
case,
where
you
know,
nobody's
wrong.
I
appreciate
everyone
saying
I'll.
Just
articulate
two
concerns
that
I
think
we
may
hear
from
the
community
down
the
road
at
some
point.
One
concern
is
hey.
You've
you've
got
to
go
hire
this
consultant.
What
the
hell
are
you
guys
for
right,
which.
B
B
I
think
if
we
get
too
attached
to
one
approach,
that
could
be
a
problem.
So
I
appreciate
what's
been
said
about
the
fact
that
there's
learning-
because
hopefully
this
is
helping
our
organization
to
learn
so
that
we
are
expanding
our
capacity
and
it
doesn't
become
simply
a
dependence
on
the
consultant
industrial
complex.
B
But
we
know
occasionally
that
the
lines
can
blur
between
the
service
work,
that
nonprofits
are
doing
and
political
activity
or
or
advocacy
in
different
ways,
and
we
expect
non-profits
to
advocate
in
lots
of
ways
that's
part
of
their
role.
We
get
it
but
because
those
lines
can
blur
it
can
also
mean
that
there
can
be
credibility,
issues
about
well,
it's
this
non-profit,
not
that
profit
and
nonprofit,
and
they
have
this
perspective
and
they
left
out
that
community,
and
so
I
just
want
us
to
be
really
sensitive
about
the
fact
that
we
are
the
city.
B
We
are
the
ones
who
are
supposed
to
be
representing
our
community
first
and
foremost,
and
certainly
we
need
the
help
of
lots
of
community
partners,
and
I
think
I
really
commend
how
staff
have
been
open
to
that
and
try
to
experiment
different
ways.
But
I
just
wanted
since
they're
kicking
me
out
of
here
in
a
couple
months,
because
I
just
don't
want
to
offer
a
cautionary
word-
that
that
we
can
go
too
far
down
this
path
and
it
can
become
problematic.
So
anyway,
leave
it.
There,
counselor
jimenez.
C
Yeah,
thank
you.
Man
appreciate
all
the
comments.
I
agree
with
much
of
what
was
said
also
thanks
to
councilmember
mayhem
for
articulating
some
of
the
concerns
that
I
had
I,
I
guess
I
have
a
one
main
question
for
nancy,
and
that
is
how
how
is
it
uncommon
or
how
common
is
that?
I
don't
see
it
too
often,
I
guess
in
which
we
see
a
breakdown
of
the
results
of
the
rfp.
So
I
know
that
in
the
memo
there
is
a
break.
C
Well,
maybe
one
of
the
attachments
to
the
memo
there's
a
breakdown
of
what
the
final
scoring
was,
but
I
know
there's
different
percentages
allocated
for
different
things,
say:
diversity,
inclusion
or
whatever
that
category
was,
would
it
you
know?
Would
you
consider
releasing
or
making
known
a
little
bit
more
detail
as
it
relates
to
the
results
of
the
rfp
next
time
around,
or
even
you
know
related
to
this
issuance.
L
Council
member,
thank
you
for
the
question.
Certainly
our
staff
lori
and
I
or
laurie
can
join
you
and
walk
through.
There
was
some
information
describing
high-level
report
out
23
applications.
The
number
of
folks
who
were
who
met
all
the
qualifications
who
were
interviewed
and
those
who
actually
are
being
recommended.
C
Right
yeah,
I
can't
imagine
that
that's
a
good
point.
I
just
I
guess
I
I
thought
that
as
folks
were
posing
their
questions,
it
seemed
to
me
that
maybe
having
a
little
bit
more
of
that
detail
say,
for
example,
how
x
you
know,
organizations
scored
on
the
equity
inclusion,
or
you
know
things
of
that
nature
right
or
the
small
business
you
know
so
say.
For
example,
if
you
can
allocate
you
know
10
10
of
the
score:
did
they
score?
Did
they
get
five
percent?
There
did
they
get
three
percent?
C
And
so
I
don't
know
I
I
just
I
think,
based
on
what
I
heard
that,
having
a
little
bit
more
of
that
information
made,
I
think,
in
my
mind,
help
alleviates
some
of
those
just
how
folks
are
scoring
in
certain
areas,
but
anyhow
that
was.
I
just
wanted
to
express
that.
But
thank
you
for
all
the
work.
I
appreciate
it.
D
Yeah,
no,
I
I
raised
it
again,
okay,
so
I
had
a
couple
of
questions
and
actually
a
statement
as
well
is
I
agree.
I
I
think
that
we,
this
is
a
muscle
that
we
need
to
develop
more
as
a
city
and
after
two
and
a
half
years
of
covid,
where
we've
been
stretched
beyond
all
our
limits,
whether
it's
translations,
whether
it's
getting
out
into
neighborhoods,
that
need
it.
D
It
took
councilman
carrasco
and
myself
to
jump
up
and
down
to
get
into
what
the
issues
were
and
the
response
rates
and
parts
of
our
city
that
we
missed
and
the
county
missed
right
and-
and
this
is
part
of
the
equity
discussion
when
we
brought
it
up
in
2019-
is
you
know,
and
I'm
gonna,
I
believe
councilmember
perales
and
I
were
there
that
day
at
rules-
and
you
know
most
of
my
district
is
high
needs
right.
So
I'm
asked
to
help
on
community
outreach
on
rhodes
projects
on
coveted
census.
D
You
know,
library
concerns
right,
a
variety
of
things
and
that's
me
and
my
staff,
and
so
yes,
it
is
a
muscle.
We
need
to
learn
on
the
city
more,
but
it
falls
on
districts
like
three
five
and
seven
to
go
out
and
be
more
of
that
bridge.
It
puts
enormous
pressure
on
us
to
do
that,
and
so
why
don't
we
develop
our
cbo
nonprofits?
D
D
D
N
Council,
member
esparza
lee
wilcox
assistant
city
manager,
I
can't
speak
specifically
about
d.o.t,
with
the
direction
that
rosalind
huey
has,
along
with
the
recovery
team,
is
to
take
all
the
civic
engagement
that
we
had
used
in
the
emergency
operations
center
and
now
part
of
the
recovery
task
force
and
build
out
a
more
formal
proposal
and
training
regiment
for
senior
executive
and
frontline
staff
about
where
we
need
to
move
to.
So
that
is
the
direction
that
and
the
direction
that
jennifer
and
I
have
given.
But
how
and
what
that
training
looks
like.
D
So
my
request,
for
that
would
be
because
as
much
as
I
deeply
respect
all
the
folks
on
that
team,
I'm
I'm
guessing
that
john
ristow
isn't
going
to
personally
plan
each
project
city-wide,
but
and
I'm
not
picking
on
d.o.t.
That's
just
an
example,
so
that
what
we
do
is
educate
on
how
to
plan
for
outreach.
P
This
is
a
topic
that
that
is
just
absolutely
important
as
you're
hearing
many
of
us
who
contributed
during
the
many
conversations
around
the
pandemic
and
how
communities
were
being
impacted
and
just
living
through
that
for
two
and
a
half
years
I
think
is
this
is
the
reason
why
I'm
you
know
on
the
edge
of
my
seat
here.
Thinking
about
how
do
we
incorporate
all
of
those
lessons
learned
so
that
we
can
have
what
we
need
for
our
community
and
not
only
for
obviously
for
staff
as
well?
P
We
don't
have
the
folks
that
we
want
on
board.
We
don't
have
as
many
we
have
some
vacancy
rates,
and
so
we
know
that
we
need
the
support,
but
we
we
also
know
that
we
we
need,
we
need
to
connect
with
our
community
in
a
meaningful
way
and
not
have
it
just
be
a
check
off,
and
so
for
me,
I'd
love
to
see
this
come
back
before
it
is
before
the
rfp
is
released,
or
if
we
can
work
on
this
offline,
because
I
what
I
don't.
P
What
I
want
to
avoid
is
having
this
conversation
in
october
once
again
or
in
november,
and
that
we
are
surprised
with
some
of
the
results
that
we
have
if
we
haven't,
if
there's
any
way
that
we
can
assist
in
building
that
for
success,
whether
it's
having
those
conversations
with
some
of
those
partners
that
councilmember
esparza
was
talking
about,
or
maybe
just
outlining,
some
of
the
folks
that
that
typically
get
missed.
I
mean
you
know
just
having
these
these
conversations
that
we
can
build
out.
P
And
you
know,
most
of
our
offices
are
four
to
five
people,
and
so
we
have
to
be
very
effective
in
the
way
that
we
reach
out
to
others.
And
so,
if
there's
ways
that
we
also
can
improve
and
standards
that
we
can
set
amongst
not
only
our
council
staff
but
among
departments
that
that's
something
else
that
we
should,
we
should
also
be
discussing
so
so
anyways,
I'm
hoping
that
we
can
bring
this
back.
Is
there
any
way
that
we
can
bring
this
back
before
it
gets
solidified
and
released
in
october.
P
A
A
A
A
K
K
K
K
K
K
K
K
I
M
Yes,
paul
soto
from
the
horseshoe
I'm
reading
from
a
letter
that
was
issued
by
councilwoman
arenas
february
13th
of
2021
paul
identifies
and
keeps
tracks
of
issues
that
have
perpetually
suppressed
our
latino
communities,
such
as
land
use,
past
land
use
policies
were
racist,
yet
were
systematically
discriminated
against
people
of
color.
There
are
issues
that
impact
race
that
are
more
subtle
and
nuanced
than
say:
police
use
of
force,
paul's
ability
to
identify
these
issues
and
integrate
his
perspective
have
allowed
for
our
council
to
hear
the
result
of
systemic
racism.
M
Paul
brings
his
experience
growing
up
in
a
gang-impected
area
of
san
jose,
like
many
of
us
to
point
out
on
how
chicanos
are
segregated
and
suppressed
and
tied
back
to
policy.
He
literally
brings
san
jose
history
to
life.
I
am
immensely
grateful
for
his
perspective
and
his
knowledge
of
san
jose
history.
His
advocacy
has
created
opportunities
for
me
as
a
council
member
to
point
out
the
ramifications
of
policies
on
latino
community.
He
obviously
reads
our
council,
our
council
and
committee
memos
ahead
of
time,
as
well
as
conducts
his
own
research,
to
provide
very
succinct
commentaries.
M
M
M
C
Hi
well,
beekman.
I
hope
you
can
hear
me
okay,
I
guess
I
thank
you
to
paul
and
his
words
and
his
work
nice
to
hear
we
had
to
say
today
also
a
thank
you
to
the
first
public
speaker,
whose
words
reminded
me
of
the
importance
that,
as
we're
building
a
feature
of
community
safety
and
bicycle
safety
and
5g
issues,
you
know
and
bridging
the
digital
divide
as
important
as
those
things
are.
C
C
So
good
luck
on
those
efforts,
a
quick
reminder
of
a
good
meeting
yesterday
on
on
the
future
of
gun
issues,
how
to
address
the
use
of
guns
in
the
future
of
san
jose
and
what's
around
the
use
of
guns
in
san
jose,
just
a
reminder,
I
really
really
feel
that
there
can
be
important
public
oversight
from
you
know:
the
community,
that's
angry
at
the
gun,
fees
and
things
at
this
time.
The
public
oversight
they
can
provide.
It
just
introduces
a
good
way
to
be
a
full
community
process
in
our
future.

Hi,
I'm
here
to
voice
my
concern
about
the
proposed
noble,
eih
site.
I
want
to
echo
what
all
my
fellow
neighbors
have
been
saying
that
this
is
not
an
appropriate
location
for
an
eih
to
strip
the
community
members
of
established
and
loved
parkland
and
build
an
eih
site
across
the
street
from
two
elementary
schools
would
be
a
huge
disservice.
G
No
other
existing
or
proposed
site
has
comparable
issues.
In
addition,
I
plead
with
the
council
to
increase
the
transparency
in
the
search
process
in
the
august
3rd
rules
meeting.
We
were
told
that
we
would
have
an
update
by
today,
yet
we
are
now
being
told
to
wait
until
october
25th
and
we
have
not
received
any
updates.

You
know
my
own
behalf
now
and
just
you
know
I
just
you
know
I
agree
with
like
gun
safety,
but
I
just
I
can't
agree
with
picking
on
gun
owners.
I
think
that
there
has
to
be
a
way
to
get
everybody
involved
and
not
just
pick
on
responsible
gun
owners,
it's
infringing
on
our
constitutional
rights.
That's
all
I
got
thank
you.
