Thank
you
mayor,
I'd
like
to
welcome
laxmi
supermanian
with
eclipse
nirvana.
Her
video
includes
a
beautiful
hindu
invocation
that
encourages
peace,
cooperation
and
understanding
in
her
experience
as
a
vocalist
and
student
of
world
religions,
she
addresses
the
importance
of
engaging
in
mindfulness
practices
that
promote
hope
and.
B
B
Namaste
vice
mayor
jones
and
council
members.
What
I
just
shared
is
a
peace
invocation
from
the
hindu
tradition.
The
translation
is
as
follows:
may
the
divine
protect
us
all.
May
we
enjoy
our
session
together
and
put
forth
our
best
efforts?
May
our
work
be
brilliant.
May
there
be
no
misunderstanding
between
us?
B
Let
there
be
peace
outside
and
within
my
name
is
lakshmi
and
it's
an
honor
to
be
with
you
virtually
today.
More
than
ever,
it
is
imperative
for
us
to
engage
in
mindfulness
practices
to
help
us
stay
hopeful
and
efficient.
During
these
unprecedented
times
as
a
vocalist
and
lifelong
student
of
world
religions,
I
have
always
felt
recharged
when
engaging
in
the
intersection
of
music
and
religion.
B
B
B
B
A
Thank
you
vice
mayor
appropriately,
so
I
appreciate
it
and
locks
me
namaste
and
thank
you
for
for
your
invocation
all
right,
so
we're
now
on
to
orders
of
the
day.
Are
there
any
changes
of
the
printed
agenda?
I
believe
council
member
carrasco
would
like
to
speak
and
offer
our
meeting
in
memory
of
the
many
residents
of
our
county
who
have
perished
in
this
pandemic.
Council
member
karaska.
F
Thank
you
mayor
and,
first
of
all,
I
want
to
thank
you
and
councilmember
marinas
for
bringing
us
together
just
last
week
to
light
up
the
rotunda
in
honor
of
the
many
that
have
lost
their
lives
due
to
the
pandemic,
and
today
we
close
the
session
in
honor
of
those
who
who
have
been
victim
to
povert
19..
It's
an
unfortunate
recognition
that
this
pandemic
has
taken
the
lives
of
so
many
we've
known
some
of
those
that
have
been
taken
from
us.
We
have
seen
through
our
different
social
media
platforms
every
day.
F
F
We've
now
hit
over
a
thousand
individuals
who
have
been
lost
for
to
the
county
of
santa
clara
and,
of
course,
san
jose
being
the
largest
city
in
the
county.
We
have
the
most
victims
lost
to
covid
19.
here
in
san
jose.
We
know
we
have
had
more
than
60
000
cases
and
our
rate
per
100
000
residents
is
almost
twice
that
of
the
next
largest
rate
in
the
county.
F
We
also
know
we've
discussed
this
almost
every
other
tuesday,
that
our
hardest
hit
populations
continue
to
be
our
most
vulnerable
working
class
neighborhoods
residents.
Who
of
course,
are
our
essential
workers
working
in
industries
that
we
need
and
people
who
need
to
make
still
a
living,
who
can't
get
direct
deposit
or
necessarily
zoom
in
or
to
make
a
living?
F
So
I'll
close
with
this,
which
I
think
is
important-
we
know
that
governor
newsom
just
lifted
the
statewide
stay
home
order
and,
as
we
re-enter
the
purple
tier
which
allows
us
to
dine
outdoors,
go
get
a
haircut.
Do
our
nails
among
some
of
those
services
that
a
lot
of
us
have
been
looking
forward
to.
I
want
us
to
all
keep
in
mind
in
honor
of
those
who
have
been
lost
to
covet
19.
F
We
still
don't
know
a
lot
about
covet
19
the
long-term
effects.
How
insurances
may
view
it
is
this?
A
a
pre-existing
condition?
Is
this
going
to
impact
our
premiums?
Are
we
going
to
live
with
complicated
conditions
that
may
appear
later
on
in
life?
These
are
the
lessons
that
we've
learned
covet
is
extremely
contagious.
F
B
G
A
A
Okay,
thank
you
on
to
the
consent
calendar
now,
there's
several
items.
Council
members
would
like
to
pull
so
why
don't
we
go
straight
to
the
pulled
items
and
see
if
there
are
any
others
as
well?
I
have
have
notes
that
councilmember
sparks
would
like
to
pull
item
2.8,
which
is
the
appointment
of
members
of
the
redistricting
commission,
she'd,
also
like
to
pull
2.12,
which
is
the
amendment
to
rules
of
conduct
resolution
and
the
council.
A
Appointments
she'd
also
like
to
pull
item
2.13,
which
is
a
report
on
bids
and
award
a
contract
on
the
coyote
creek
trail.
Councilmember
mayhem
like
to
pull
item
2.15,
which
is
the
acceptance
of
retirement
plans,
kafir
and
then
counselor
jimenez
would
like
to
pull
item
2.19,
which
is
approval
international
holocaust
remembrance
day.
So
why
don't
we
do
this?
I
know
that
we'll
start
with
the
items
that
are
being
pulled
and
then
we'll
we'll
take
all
the
other
items
in
a.
If
there's
a
some.
A
C
A
E
Thank
you
so
much
as
you
mentioned,
it
is
international
holocaust
remembrance
day.
Let
me
just
start
by
thanking
the
organizations
that
made
today
this
possible.
I
want
to
thank
the
newest
federation
of
silicon
valley
and
the
jewish
family
services
of
silicon
valley.
The
holocaust,
as
we
know,
was
the
state-sponsored
systematic
persecution
and
annihilation
of
european
jews
by
nazi
germany
and
its
collaborators
between
1933
and
1945
january
of
this
year,
marked
76
years
since
the
liberation
of
auschwitz,
the
largest
concentration
camp
established
by
the
nazis.
E
Millions
suffered
grievous
oppression
and
death
on
their
nazi
tyranny
and
the
holocaust
was
certainly
undoubtedly
an
unprecedented
tragedy,
and
today
we
remember
all
genocides
that
have
taken
place
across
the
world
and
demand
an
end
to
racial
violence
during
the
suffering
of
the
persecuted.
We
give
honor
to
their
memory
and
struggles,
but
we
must
also
remember
the
impunity
in
the
tyranny
that
allowed
such
a
tragedy
to
happen.
E
Never
again
can
we
be
indifferent
to
the
suffering
of
others,
and
we
will
always
remember,
and
we
will
always
fight
back
now.
Today
I
have
the
great
pleasure
of
introducing
tamara
brandman
nodum
tamer
is
one
of
180
santa
clara
county
residents
who
survived
or
escaped
the
holocaust
and
now
received
support
through
the
non-profit
jewish
family
services
of
silicon
valley.
She
was
forced
to
leave
her
beloved
black
sea
birthplace
with
her
parents
at
age
10
and
experienced
a
harrowing
journey
to
siberia,
to
flee
the
invasion
of
hitler
and
his
allies.
B
Fine,
I
don't
see
you,
but
you
see
me,
and
I
salute
you,
dear
sir,
sergio
and
old
staff
of
san
jose.
I
thank
you
very
much
for
your
devoted
and
compassionate
participation
in
in
keeping
memory
of
holocaust
survivor.
I
am
the
survivor,
I
am
90
years
old,
but
I
still
feel
in
my
heart
the
the
the
stress,
misery
and
horror
of
that
time.
B
When
I
tried
to
escape
nazi-
and
I
was
successfully
with
my
family-
came
to
siberia,
but
returning
back
from
siberia
to
odessa,
my
native
city,
I
found
all
that
my
arrest
of
relatives,
including
my
grandparents,
the
memory
is
terrible
as
a
holocaust
survivor.
I
pledge
my
promise
to
to
let
my
generation
ahead
of
time
to
see
how
it's
terrible
to
be
in
a
war
to
participate
in
that
genocide,
and
then
I
want
them
to
remember.
We
have
to
save
our
our
land,
our
country,
our
world,
from
that
terrible
event
that
it
never
ever
happened
again.
B
A
A
E
I
think
that
was
it
I
I
just
want
to.
Actually
this
wasn't
part
of
my
my
script,
but
let
me
just
say
that
a
time
where
we
have
folks
invading
our
nation's
capital
wearing
shirts
that
say,
camp
auschwitz
right
is
really
indicative
of
where
we
are
in
the
present
time
in
the
state
of
our
nation,
and
so
doing.
E
A
C
H
C
A
A
Mayor
lecardo,
who
I
know
well,
thank
you
very
much
and
city
council
members.
I
can
you
hear
me
by
the
way
we
can.
We
can
hear
you
just
fine.
Thank
you.
I
I'm
so
apologetic
that
this
is
the
first
one
of
these
remembrance
days
that
I've
attended
and
I'm
particularly
it's
really
important
today,
because
my
mother
is
watching
she's
deaf,
regrettably,
but
I
I
went
to
los
angeles
yesterday
to
celebrate
her
100th
birthday.
A
A
It
truly
is
so
important
that
that
starting
at
a
level
here
in
the
city
council
working
its
way
up
through
through
the
through
the
state
state
legislature
and
into
the
capital
that
we
continue
to
work
as
as
hard
as
we
all
can
to
protect
this
gift
that
we
have
called
freedom.
So
thank
you.
So
much
for
allowing
me
to
speak
on
behalf
of
my
mother,
sally
and
my
father
elliot.
Thank
you.
I
Good
afternoon,
council,
paul
soto
from
the
horseshoe
this
is,
I
feel
privileged.
This
is
the
second
time
that
I've
been
in
attendance
for
this
remembrance,
so
thank
you,
councilman
jimenez,
for
bringing
this
topic
up
and
for
senora
tamara
for
for
sharing
your
story.
What
struck
me
about
your
story
is
the
pain
and
the
the
tyranny
that
you
had
experienced
as
a
little
girl
that
it
still
resonates
within
your
soul
within
your
spirit.
I
Still
to
this
day.
I
understand
that
turmoil.
I
understand
what
it
feels
like
to
experience
that
how
it
does
not
dissipate
with
time.
It
doesn't
just
go
away
and,
as
exemplified
with
what
happened
at
the
capitol
the
circumstances,
the
people
in
the
thought
processes
also
do
not
go
away.
They
are
still
endemic.
I
I
The
total
amount
of
claims
submitted
to
the
state
of
california
comptroller
for
these
expeditions
against
the
indians
was
one
million
two
hundred
and
ninety
three
thousand
dollars
what
they
were
doing
was
they
were
cutting
the
heads
at
the
onset
of
california's
history.
They
were
cutting
the
heads
off
of
native
americans
and
peter
burnett
was
paying
five
bucks
ahead.
I
C
A
C
Thank
you
mayor.
I
I
wanted
to
pull
this
item
because
the
limitations
of
the
brown
act
prevented
me
from
picking
up
the
phone
and
calling
you
and
having
a
conversation,
and
also
we
have
all
made
a
commitment
that
we
are
about
to
vote
on,
to
to
not
communicate
directly
with
the
members
of
this
commission,
and
I
wanted
to
honor
that
I
I
wanted
to
to
say
that
I
have
heard
some
comments
about
the
chair
of
the
commission
talking
to
members
of
the
community
about
what
she
thinks.
C
C
So
I
wanted
to
ask
the
city
attorney
if,
in
approving
the
final
language
today
that
we
could
add
some
language,
that
members
of
the
commission
should
not
be
expressing
their
opinions
about
changes
to
the
districts
during
the
process
of
hearing
from
the
public.
Can
we
add
that
change
today
so
that
we
can
honor
the
mayor's
intentions
and
all
of
our
intentions
and
who
we've
appointed.
C
A
C
C
Should
base
its
decisions
on
the
information
that
it
receives
in
the
process
and
I'm
I'm
sure,
just
as
in
every
other
redistricting
that
will
have
a
lot
of
conversations
and
study
sessions
and
the
data
will
be
presented.
I
I
I
you
know
I
mean
I
think,
we've
all
worked
really
hard
to
make
sure
that
we
we
have
open
minds
and
the
people
that
we
appoint
have
open
minds
and
so
yeah
I'd
like
to
add
that
that
language.
B
C
So
you're
talking
about
outside
of
the
public
meetings,
if
I
understand
you
is
that
correct,
I'm
talking
about
in
public
and
private
meetings
or
in
until
while
they're
still
studying
the
data
and
the
numbers
right.
I
think
that
usually
the
way
this
happens,
the
the
commission
takes
information
gets
this
latest
census.
Numbers
meets
with
community
groups
and
other
other
groups,
usually
the
city
attorney
or
council.
At
some
point
says
here:
are
all
the
rules,
the
federal
rules
about
communities
of
interest
or
not
diluting
a
population
for
votes
and
all
that
kind
of
stuff.
B
C
B
A
K
Hi
happy
end
of
january
to
everybody.
There
was
a
city
charter
commission
meeting
last
night.
The
agenda
for
that
meeting
did
not
line
up
and
you
could
not
use
it
zoom
to
to
tune
into
the
meeting,
and
that
was
very
hurtful.
I
had
to
look
go
into
the
master
calendar
and
and
use
that
route,
and
so
luckily
I
had
a
backup
plan.
A
lot
of
people
may
not
have
had
that
backup
plan.
Are
you
guys?
K
You
know
doing
something
to
make
this
a
more
difficult
process
to
be
a
part
of
for
the
public?
There's
also
a
question
of
language,
and
there
was
only
there
was
no
spanish
or
vietnamese
interpretation
available.
You
know
I
thought
we
were
getting
better
at
doing
that
and
that
should
be
kind
of
commonplace
and
regular
in
our
in
our
lives
in
the
meeting
process
and
the
zoom
process.
K
I
Good
afternoon,
paul
soto
from
the
horseshoe,
I
really
want
to
thank
you,
first
of
all,
mayor
locato
for
coming
back
to
like
the
raised
hands,
because
sometimes
I'll
get
kicked
off
a
zoom,
and
so
you
have
to
re-press
the
raised
hand
button,
and
sometimes
I
forget
that
so
you've
been
very
good
and
consistent
about
like
rechecking
that
so
I
just
wanted
to
express
my
appreciation
for
that
with
regard
to
this
item.
This
is
really
like
near
and
dear
to
me,
because
what
we're
talking
about
is
redistributing
the
horseshoe
and
we
haven't.
I
I
I
I
I
Go
ahead.
Thank
you.
Okay,
that's
cool!
All
right,
perfect!
Okay,
so
we
haven't
reconciled
ourselves
with
the
redlining
policies,
so
the
city
there's
there
was
social,
economic
and
political
injustices
that
were
created
generationally
and
we're
still
dealing
with
that
today.
Just
nobody
wants
to
talk
about
it,
I'm
the
only
one
me
esparza
arenas
and
jimenez.
We
talk
about
it
all
the
time,
because
we
we
have
experienced
the
generational
impact
of
those
systems
and
now
we're
talking
about
redistricting.
I
I
do
not
want
to
do
anything
with
willow
glenn.
They
didn't
want
anything
to
do
with
us.
They
wanted
nothing
to
do
with
the
horseshoe
at
all,
absolutely
nothing.
Now
that
is
the
most
valuable
piece
of
property
in
the
world.
I
would
go
so
venture
so
far
as
to
say
in
the
entire
world
that
is
the
most
expensive
piece
of
property
right
now
back
in
the
days,
however,
they
didn't
want
nothing
to
do
with
the
horseshoe
and
we
were
fine
with
that.
We
rolled
with
that
we
didn't
just
survive.
I
We
thrived
and
that's
why
I'm
here
today
is
to
state
that
we
have
to
have
some
kind
of
commission.
That
number
one
acknowledges
what
happened.
Number
two
accepts
the
responsibility
of
alleviating
the
economic
and
social
stratification
that
resulted
from
that
segregation
that
was
illegal,
immoral,
unethical
and
against
due
process.
Thank
you.
A
B
A
A
F
Mayor,
I
I
don't
know
if
councilmember
is
going
to
come
on,
but
I
wanted
to
before
the
council.
Members
can
speak.
I
just
wanted
to
disclose
a
violation
of
the
brown
act.
I
inadvertently
violated
the
brown
act
when
I
spoke
with
you
on
the
vta
assignments
and
then
we
started
to
speak
on
the
rules
assignments
I
had
because
we
were
speaking
about
two
different
things.
F
M
I'm
so
sorry,
I'm
I
was
having
some
issues
because
I
had
a
password
change,
so
I
apologize.
I
t
was
literally
in
the
room
trying
to
get
me
fixed
up.
So
I
apologize
about
that
as
I
switch
devices
anyways,
I
will
let
that
go.
I
I
wanted
to
just
talk
a
little
bit
about
what
I
see
happening
in
under
this
item.
M
M
You
know
designation
that
just
kind
of
rewards
obedience,
because
during
and
you
know,
and
after
this
pandemic,
certainly
during
this
pandemic,
we've
all
seen
the
devastation
council.
Member
carrasco
spoke
about
the
devastation,
the
de
the
loss
really
the
death
of
our
community,
and
so
I
think
at
this
point
in
time,
we
really
need
to
start
taking
a
look
at
how
we
change
the
rules
so
that
it
plays
well
and
plays
fair
to
our
community,
and
part
of
that
is
having
really
sharing
power.
M
And
so
what's
left
there
is,
is
a
remnants
of
of
a
of
a
genocide
that
paul
soto
talked
about.
But
also
our
policy
is
also
remnants
of
of
maybe
old
ideologies,
or
at
least
we
need
to
embrace
new
ideologies
and
the
one
that
I'm
I'm
really
focused
on
is
making
sure
that
we
share
and
that
we
that
we
work
collaboratively
because,
like
I
said
our
committees,
we
kind
of
set
up
the
work
in
our
committees.
M
That
way
right
and
we
have
work
plans
that
guide
us,
but
we
also
have
to
have
the
right
people
to
guide
us
and
to
guide
the
work,
and
I
think
back
to
a
book
that
jim
collins
wrote
is
good
to
great
and
it
looked
at.
First
of
all,
it
looked
like
companies
that
moved
themselves
to
what
he
the
success
criteria
to
good
to
great,
but
but
he
then
applied
those
those
concepts
and
principles
to
the
government,
because
you
know
the
government
can
learn
from
business
and
burs.
M
What
our
strengths
are
and
offer
that
as
a
in
a
conversation
so
that
we
can
see
who
fits
best
who's.
You
know
getting
the
right.
People
on
the
bus,
as
jim
collins
would
say,
is-
is
most
important
so
that
we
can
have
those
folks
then
do
the
work
of
the
committee.
That
will
then
lead
back
to
the
council.
Ultimately,
and
so
you
know
with
that,
I
I'd
like
to.
M
M
I
think
that
councilmember
esparza's
memo
reflects
that
collaboration
that
I'm
talking
about
the
the
the
moving
from
from
from
an
egalitarian
framework
to
one
of
a
collaborative
and
shared
power
framework,
and
I
want
to
make
sure
that
we
memorialize
that
and-
and
so
I'm
hoping
to
hear
from
my
colleagues
what
what
their
thoughts
are
and
and
so
that
we
can,
we
can
move
forward.
I
like
a
portion
of
of
the
mayor's
memo,
which
is
items
one
two
and
three
and
councilmember
esparza's
meadow
memo
item
one.
M
I
should
also
note
that,
on
on
the
item
five
of
the
mayor's
memo,
it
states
that
no
changes
should
be
made
to
the
resolution
yet
in
item
one.
In
that
very
memo.
His
recommendation
to
change
paralysis
for
himself
is
a
change
to
the
resolution,
because
the
resolution
says
that
the
mayor
and
the
vice
mayor
should
serve
so
we
can't
have
it
both
ways.
M
M
I'm
just
hopeful
that
that
my
council
colleagues
could
take
my
consideration
of
my
memo
as
well
as
think
about
the
framework
that
we
all
want
to
work
from
and
and
making
sure
that
we're
working
from
having
the
right
people
on
the
bus
working
collaboratively,
making
sure
that
we
let
go
of
some
of
the
framework
that
might
have
not
worked
for
us
in
the
best
way
in
past
in
the
past.
So
those
are
my
comments.
Thank
you
is
that
a
motion
council
member.
M
You
know
I
wanted
to
hear
back
from
my
from
my
council
colleagues.
First
before
I
you
know
I
I
was
going
for
that
mayor.
I
won't
lie.
I
was
trying
to
set
it
up
for
that,
but
I
want
to
hear
from
my
colleagues
in
the
spirit
of
collaboration.
I
want
to
hear
from
my
colleagues
to
see
what
is
it.
You
know
that
what
are
their
thoughts,
I
certainly
would
love
to
to
have
them
support
all
of
the
recommendations
that
I
have
laid
out,
but
I
wanted
to
hear
thoughts
first,.
A
A
For
council
member
no
for
for
council
member
irenaeus,
I
I
think
the
statement
was
that,
because
I
suggested
there
shouldn't
be
changes
to
the
resolution
that
that
contradicted
with
the
notion
of
me,
removing
myself
from
the
rules
committee
and
I'm
trying
to
understand
where
that
conflict
might
be.
Is
there
something
I'm
missing?
I
know
it's
a
long
resolution
it
might
be
in
there
somewhere.
O
B
C
B
Thank
you
mayor.
First
of
all,
I
want
to
say
that
hearing
words
like
collaboration
and
compromise,
are,
are
two
of
my
favorite
words
in
the
english
language,
so
I
really
get
excited
hearing
them.
It
sounds
like
at
least
from
the
initial
part
of
the
discussion
that
there's
a
lot
of
agreement
on
most
of
the
elements.
In
my
memo
with
the
mayor
and
councilmember
foley
and
jimenez,
I
also
am
in
complete
support
of
council
member
arena
system
his
memo.
B
So
so,
for
those
reasons
again,
I
am
in
support
of
all
the
proposals
that
have
been
put
out
with
the
exception
of
amending
the
resolution.
So
I
want
to
make
a
motion
to
accept
the
memo
from
the
mayor
myself,
councilmember,
foley
and
peralta
and
menace,
as
well
as
accepting
council
member
arranges.
This
memo.
P
A
Okay
motion
in
second
and
vice
mayor,
just
to
clarify,
as
norah
pointed
out,
there
is
some
change
in
the
resolution
by
necessity
in
the
recommendation
of
that
memo
that
we
signed.
That
would
remove
me
from
rules
because
the
resolution
originally
did
have
the
chair
being
the
mayor.
So
with
that
modification.
I
assume
that
would
be
that
motion
would
encompass
some
change
in
the
resolution.
To
accomplish
that,
yeah,
not
fair
to
say
yes,
okay!
Is
that
all
right
with
the
seconder.
P
C
Thank
you
mayor.
I
did
want
to
point
out
that,
on
page
19
of
the
old
resolution,
the
one
that
we
are
amending
already
today
on
page
19
under
section
h,
the
rules
and
open
government
committee-
it
does
say
the
rules
and
open
government
committee-
is
composed
of
five
members.
The
mayor
is
the
chairperson
of
the
rules
and
open
government
committee,
and
the
vice
mayor
is
the
vice
chairperson.
So
regardless,
if
we
are
to
adopt
the
mayor's
memo
today,
that
we
still
need
to
change
the
resolution-
and
I
also.
C
C
C
Changing
changes
to
the
council
composition,
and
the
rules
committee
in
particular,
have
occurred
with
regularity
over
the
past
decades,
including
about
a
dozen
times
over
the
past
decade.
So
this
is
not
a
sacred
cow,
it's
not
the
charter,
it
is
a
resolution
and
since
the
80s
there
have
been
many
changes
over
the
rules
committee
for
much
of
the
80s.
The
rules
committee
was
comprised
of
the
mayor
and
other
standing
committee
chairs,
who
were
selected
by
each
committee
rather
than
a
mayoral
appointment.
C
So
each
committee
actually
used
to
decide
who
their
chair
and
vice
chair
were
and
and
this
composition
was
allowed
to
include
the
vice
mayor
in
1988
and
then
authorized
the
mayor
to
appoint
other
chairpersons
by
2003.
The
mayor
was
not
on
rules
at
all
and
the
vice
mayor
was
serving
as
chair
and
at
that
time
there
was
also
a
dedicated
alternate
memo.
Member
and
the
mayor
was
added
again
to
rules
in
2007..
C
So
I
wanted
to
point
that
out,
because
this
isn't
a
filibuster.
This
is
a
resolution
that
we
amended
actually
last
year
ourselves
and
are
likely
to
to
to
continue
to
amend,
because
I
think
it's
good
governance
for
the
council
to
review
our
existing
processes
and
because
I
do
believe
that
the
council
should
be
should
discuss
this
in
public.
C
As
we
heard
last
week,
we
have
limitations
with
the
brown
act
on
things
that
we
may
need
to
discuss
in
open
session,
and-
and
I
also
want
to
acknowledge
that
this
is
a
lot
of
work
and
want
to
thank
the
mayor
and
his
staff,
particularly
jim
reed
and
henry
smith,
who
put
in
a
lot
of
work,
including
the
mayor,
who
has
to
take
all
of
our
lists
and
wants
and
desires
and
then
and
then
try
and
put
that
into
some
kind
of
order.
That
can
get
the
city's
work
done.
C
C
Whichever
the
title
ends
up
being
and
then
I
would
like
to
add
a
change
that
I
believe,
councilmember
cohen,
has
specified
in
his
memo
to
amend
paragraph
1
rule
9,
section
d,
and
it's
also
in
my
memo
to
amend
resolution
79
367,
to
have
language
that,
while
the
mayor
makes
a
recommendation
of
the
slate
to
the
city
council,
the
city
council.
As
a
group,
has
the
authority
to
publicly
discuss,
amend
and
approve
the
final
slate
of
the
standing
committee
members
and
that's
my
substitute
motion.
Q
N
That
was
one
that
allowed
the
council
to
basically
take
what
was
a
good
set
of
recommendations
from
the
mayor
and
make
some
changes
to
them
through
an
open
process
that
followed
the
brown
act
and
and
took
input
from
the
council
and
is
now
bringing
forward
a
slate
of
changes
that
the
council
is
taking
a
vote
on
to
to
approve
and
that's
pretty
much.
The
change
to
the
resolution
that
we
are
recommending
here
is
to
codify
the
process
that
we
just
followed.
N
N
So
it
seems
to
me
better
to
have
a
process
by
which
the
council
approves
or
or
amends
the
recommendations.
Then
then
has
a
process
to
threaten
to
change
the
rules
at
any
time
that
the
majority
doesn't
like.
The
recommendations
that
are
on
the
table,
so
I
feel,
like
the
you
know,
mending
the
rules
as
proposed,
either
with
the
wording
that
council
member
esparza
proposed
or
just
as
staff
recommended
in
the
proposed
resolution.
N
Yeah
last
just
the
last
comment
about
the
charter
review
process.
Well,
yes,
there's
a
charter
review
process
going
on
it's
going
to
take
some
time,
we'll
have
a
recommendation
at
the
end
of
the
year
early
next
year.
That
would
then
allow
the
council
to
potentially
accept
or
not
those
recommendations
that
will
then
require
the
voters
to
then
require
the
voters
to
pass
the
recommendations
or
not
pass
the
recommendations,
which
means
that
that
several
years
from
now
there
may
be
a
different
structure
of
government.
But
you
know
the
property.
N
Appointments
for
these
committees
are
annual,
so
we're
going
to
be
going
through
this
process
at
least
two,
if
not
three
more
times
before
there
would
be
any
charter
change,
and
so
we
ought
to
have
a
clean
appointment
process
that
we
follow
for
now
and
not
assume
that
this
charter
review
process
is
going
to
help
us
guide
this
process
in
the
near
future.
So,
for
those
reasons
I
support
the
substitute
motion.
Thank
you.
A
B
K
K
The
human,
the
human
rights
commission
has
always
been
really
important
to
me
and
I
it
serves
an
incredibly
important
function,
just
the
fact
that
they're
there
you
know
in
these
coming
months.
I
hope
that
can
continue.
I
mean
they
were
going
to
talk
about.
You
know
the
women's
rights
issues
that
are
that
are
currently
going
on
and
that's
been
a
whole
process
years
process.
K
That's
just
they
talk,
you
know
about
women's
rights
issues
and
that's
been,
you
know
an
ongoing.
You
know
work
and
effort
and
and
to
simply
deny
those
meetings
for
a
few
months.
I
hope
you
don't
do
that.
I
just
hope
you
know
it's
always
nice
to
hear
their
voice
about
and
their
ideas
about,
issues
and
ideas.
K
With
that
in
mind,
they're
worried
about
their
minutes
process
isn't
a
part
of
the
regular
commission
meeting
minutes
that
are
available
to
the
public
in
written
form.
I
think
that's
what
it
is
and
there's
a
bit
of
questioning
and
why
that
is,
and
from
that
I
I
started
writing
to
you
in
december,
and
I
was
asking
the
question:
is
there
a
way
that
I
can
get
video
minutes
of
the
zoom
meetings
from
commission
meetings
and
I
can
understand
if
I
can't,
for
whatever
you
know
strange
reasons,
intrinsic
reasons
you
have
can?
K
Can
those
reasons
be
explained
to
me
I
mean
I'm
afraid
I
can't
even
get
that
reasoning
from
yourselves.
If
I
write
you
a
letter
and
ask
you
will
not
give
me
a
straight
answer
now,
why
is
that?
Can
I
ask
at
this
time,
can
I
be
given
a
straight
answer?
Why
video
minutes?
I
cannot
view
the
video
minutes
of
commission
meetings.
I
think
for
things
like
the
strong
mayor
and
the
commission,
the
charter
commission
process,
public
meetings
and
the
zoom
public
meetings
for
on
video
really
need
to
be
public
and
accessible
and
open.
A
I
Soto
good
afternoon,
thank
you
man.
I
just
I
love
sharing
the
the
the
these
meetings
with
with
blair
the
way
that
he
directs
his
comments.
I
agree
I
I
I
like
sitting
down
and
reviewing
what
people
said
and
the
context
in
which
they
said
it
who
responded
to
what
they
said.
That's
what
I
do.
I
do
this
all
day
long.
I
do
this
all
day,
long
on
weekends.
I
get
no
days
off
and
I
don't
get
a
dime
for
it.
Not
one
penny.
I
One
of
the
things
that
I
would
like
to
say
with
regard
to
commissions
is
the
importance
of
the
human
services
one,
and
so
I
was
glad
that
councilwoman
arenas
addressed
that
I
was
in
attendance
at
the
most
recent
one
and
I
had
noted
that,
yes,
they
didn't
make
quorum.
You
know-
and
I
I
appreciated
that
time,
because
we
were
able
to
have
a
just
an
informal
conversation
with
each
other
as
citizens
and
talk
about
the
issues
that
we
were
you
know
contending
with.
I
You
know
you
learned
a
lot
from
that
video.
There
was
a
lot
of
data
there
and,
but
you
have
to
know
how
to
interpret
the
data.
I
do
I
do
because
of
my
experience.
I
know
how
to
interpret
that
data,
and
so
I
just
I,
I
felt
that
after
that
conversation
that
that
I
thought
that
my
what
it
is
that
I
bring
to
san
jose
would
be
best
served
in
that
particular
committee.
Thank
you.
P
Thanks
mayor,
I
appreciate
it
yeah
I
want
to
start
by
just
saying
I
think
my
colleagues
made
some
really
good
points.
I
I
appreciate
council
member
cohen's
comments
that
the
the
current
setup
is
a
little.
A
little
unstable
or
kind
of
we've
got
a
set
of
rules
that
then
can
be
kind
of
changed
by
the
council
if
it
so
decides.
P
I
think
council
member
sparks
also
made
a
very
fair
point
that
it's
not
particularly
unusual
to
amend
this
resolution
and
and
I'm
very
supportive
of
council
member
aranas's
proposed
changes
as
well.
So
I
think
there's
a
lot
of
a
lot
of
good
stuff
there.
I
think
the
one
point
I
wanted
to
raise
and
where
I
may
disagree
with
some
of
my
colleagues
is
the
idea
that
the
charter
review
commission
is
not
relevant
here
and
I
actually
think
it's
very
relevant
and
is
worth
taking
a
bit
more
time
to
incorporate
these
questions
into.
P
I
think
for
some
of
the
key
questions
such
as
committee
leadership,
where
I
think
we're
very
different
from
the
intergovernmental
bodies
that
council
member
cohen
referenced
in
his
memo.
I
really
think
that's
part
of
the
broader
conversation
about
the
governance
of
the
city,
and
particularly
you
know
if
we
step
back.
What
I
think
we're
talking
about
here
is
just
the
the
scope
of
the
office
of
the
mayor
and
what
are
the
powers
of
that
office
and-
and
you
know,
I
think
an
argument
could
be
made.
P
I
have
no
idea
where
the
commission
will
come
out
on
this,
but
I
you
know,
I
think
an
argument
could
be
made
that
whoever
the
mayor
is,
regardless
of
their
political
beliefs,
race,
ethnicity,
gender
and
so
forth.
That
is
the
one
person
on
the
diocese
who
was
elected
by
a
majority
of
the
residents
city-wide
and
so
that
off
you
know.
I
don't
think
in
that
context.
P
Egalitarianism
is
necessarily
the
right
principle
to
use
it
may
be,
but
I
just
I
feel
like
there's
a
broader
set
of
questions
about
the
role
of
the
mayor,
the
powers
of
that
office,
how
it,
how
it
interacts
with
the
council
and
committees
count.
These
committees
actually
feel
very
relevant
to
that
conversation.
So
personally,
I
agree
with
the
vice
mayor
that
making
that
part
of
the
broader
conversation
about
the
governance
of
the
city
and
the
respective
roles
of
the
mayor
and
the
rest
of
the
council
and
the
committees
to
me.
P
It
all
just
feels
like
one
body
of
work,
so
I
just
wanted
to
throw
out
there
that
I
really
feel,
like
that's
a
better
process
to
direct
some
of
these
questions,
to
not
to
say
that
we
could
never.
We,
you
know,
can't
amend
this
resolution
or
that
something
horrible
is
going
to
happen.
If
we
do,
it
just
feels
more
appropriate
to
take
it
up
through
that
process,
so
want
to
just
share
that
opinion.
Thank
you.
A
Q
You
casper
frost,
yeah,
thank
you
mayor,
and
I
appreciate
that
the
dialogue
from
my
my
colleagues
as
well,
I
think
there
have
been
some
some
good
suggestions
here
and
you
know
I
think,
actually
along
the
lines
of
what
councilmember
mayhem
was
just
saying.
I
don't
think
there's.
It
should
be
any
fear
why
we
shouldn't
do
both
potentially,
and
I
think
both
are
gonna
happen.
Q
Quite
frankly,
our
charter
revision
commission
is
looking
at
the
power
makeup
and
structure
of
the
council
and
the
mayor
and
the
city
manager
and
they're
gonna.
Do
that
regardless,
whether
or
not
we,
you
know,
we
make
a
decision
on
this
resolution
today,
and
so
I
think
that
will
happen
and
we
can
feel
comfortable
that
that
is
going
to
happen.
Q
And
then,
additionally,
as
councilmember
esparza
pointed
out,
the
resolution
is,
is
not
a
component
of
the
charter.
It's
a
resolution,
it's
a
resolution
that
has
regularly
been
changed
in
fact
right
as
recently
as
last
year,
and
so
that
is
something
that
this
council
and
councils
going
back
right
have
looked
at
and
have
made
changes
to,
and
so
I
think
we
can
safely
say
right.
Q
We're
gonna
look
at
all
sorts
of
of
shifts
within
the
charter
revision,
commission
and
at
the
same
time,
this
is
completely
something
that's
reasonable
to
look
at
and
ask
to
have
happen
today,
because
this
is
actually
going
to
affect
how
we're
moving
forward,
at
least
for
the
next
year
or
two,
and
so
I
think
you
know
certainly
comfortable
with
the
the
current
motion,
the
substitute
motion.
That's
that's
on
the
table
and
we'll
be
supporting
that
and
thank
you
mayor.
Q
As
you
know,
I've
been
bugging
you
for
six
years
to
try
and
get
on
the
rules
committee,
and
so
we
were
not
in
the
the
brown
act
and
I
and
I'll
mention
it
here.
I
didn't
necessarily
have
a
discussion
with
you
beforehand
on
your
suggestion,
but
I
think
it
went
without
saying
that.
Certainly
that's
something
I've
been
interested
in
for
some
time.
So,
thanks.
E
Yeah,
thank
you.
I
I
have
some
comments,
but
I
first
wanted
to
ask
nora
a
question
nora.
Let's
just
assume
that
we
don't
amend
the
resolution,
things
stay
as
they
are.
The
under
the
underlying
motion
prevails
this
time
next
year.
The
the
same
thing
can
happen.
Right
I
mean
it
seems
based
on
the
city.
Attorney's
office's
analysis
is
that
we,
as
the
council
may
or
brings
forward
recommendations,
and
we,
you
know,
assuming
we
see
things
differently,
we
can
do
things
differently.
Correct.
Is
that.
E
Right,
yes,
so
so
it
seems
to
me
that
it's
always
the
reason
I
ask
that
is.
It
seems
to
me
that,
even
though
we
haven't
explicitly
had
this
conversation
that
even
the
years
prior
of
me
being
on
the
council,
I
suspected
I've
always
suspected-
and
I
think,
based
on
your
analysis
is
really
borne
out
to
be
correct.
E
Is
that
the
mayor
makes
a
recommendation
and,
quite
frankly,
if
we
don't
see
it
that
way,
we
can
adjust
things
and
recommend
something
else
right
and
that's
in
fact
what
essentially,
what
sort
of
has
happened
in
this
occasion?
And
so
and
so
that's
my
thinking
around
it,
but
but
I
also
have
to
say
just
for
everyone
all
my
colleagues
is.
I
don't
have
a
personal
principle
stance
on
this.
I
could
see
it
both
ways.
E
E
I
guess
it
seems
to
me
that
we
can
still
do
some
of
this
irregardless
of
whether
we
change
it
or
not.
That's
one
of
the
views
that
I
have
on
this
other
end.
On
the
other
end,
though
I
also
don't
I'm
not
too
sensitive
or
or
concerned
about
not
sending
this
to
the
charter
review
committee
and
something
that
council
member
peral
has
also
touched
on
that.
I
think
what
crossed
my
mind
is
assuming
the
resolution
was
amended
and
changed,
and
the
substitute
motion
prevails
that
doesn't
suggest.
E
We
still
can't
send
this
to
the
charter
review
commission
right
that
we
can't
address
that,
and
I
appreciate
that
it
provides
clarity
for
some
of
the
folks
and
it
makes
it
more
explicit,
but
I
think
even
if
we
didn't
make
it
more
explicit,
it
seems
to
me
that
we
could
still
do
the
same
thing,
and
so
I'm
a
little
conflicted
to
be
honest
with
you,
I
could
see
it
both
ways.
I
personally
have
no
dog
in
this
fight.
This
is
not
something
that
I
think.
E
E
I
think
obviously
there's
something
to
be
said
about
that
as
it
relates
to
sending
it
to
the
charter
review
commission,
but
I
don't,
I
think,
if
we
didn't
do
that,
I
don't
think
that
necessarily
erodes
this
concept
of
good
governance.
Likewise,
I
also
appreciate
what
councilmember
cohen
said
about
good
governance
and
having
something
sort
of
set
in
stone
without
consistent
amendments,
although
I
I
suspect
that
can
happen
as
well,
depending
on
the
on
the
makeup
of
the
council,
and
so
I
just
wanted
to
express
my
perspective.
E
M
Now
the
way
that
we
are
voted
in
is
a
completely
different
process
and
and
simply
because
somebody,
the
mayor,
the
position
of
the
mayor,
not
not
to
say
exclusively
to
you
mayor
but
to
any
any
mayor
in
any
city,
doesn't
mean
that,
because
he's
voted
in
by
all
of
the
city
that
that
that
that
person
gets
absolute
power
to
make
changes
because
it
doesn't,
it
doesn't
translate
to
collaboration,
and
so
this
is
the.
This
is
a
point
to
that.
M
That
was
the
point
to
my
comments
that
was
point
to,
I
believe
the
spirit
of
the
motion.
That's
on
the
floor,
at
least
that's
the
reason
why
I'm
supporting
it,
and
so
it
doesn't.
I
think
this
this
discussion
really
is
talking
about.
How
do
we
work
with
one
another?
How
do
we
collaborate?
How
do
we
figure
out
if
we're
using
each?
You
know
playing
to
our
strengths
in
the
communities
that
we
serve
and
I'll
tell
you
I
some
of
the
communities
that
I
have.
M
I
don't
know
if
it's
playing
to
my
strength-
and
I
was
certainly
not
asked
hey,
do
you
want
all
of
these
committees?
It
wasn't
a
question,
it
wasn't
an
ask,
and
I
I
don't
know
who
one
of
my
colleagues
said.
You
know
you
may
or
checks
in
or
ask
it's
not
an
ask
it's
a
rec.
You
know
he
makes
the
recommendations
and
whether
you
your
passion,
is
elsewhere.
M
That's
the
recommendation.
I
so
I
really
appreciate
the
the
very
healthy
discussion
that
we've
been
having
since
the
12th
about
making
changes
to
to
what
we
have
now
I've
I've
added
the
human
services
commission
that
I
think,
hopefully
it'll
you
know
my
recommendations
will
pass
that'll
add
to
my
workload-
and
I
I
do
want
to
on
the
on
the
premise
of
making
sure
that
the
right
people
are
on
the
on
the
on
the
bus.
M
If
there's
other
is
there?
If
there's
somebody
else,
who'd
like
to
take
tne.
This
is
part
of
the
discussion.
This
is
why
I
think
we
need
to
change
the
rules
around.
This
is
that
we
need
to
play
to
the
our
strengths
and
we
need
to
make
sure
that
we
have
an
an
equal
workload.
You
know
I
do
notice
and
I
said
on
the
12th.
They
some
of
my
colleagues
only
have
two
standing
committees.
M
I
think
that's
the
the
last.
The
last
point
I
just
want
to
make
is
that
you
know
if
this
particular
piece
of
the
conversation
and
how
we
work
with
one
another,
the
rules
around
how
we
work
with
one
another
around
committees
is
sent
to
the
charter.
It
translates
to
me
that,
and
at
least
we're
telling
our
residents,
the
ones
who
voted
us
in
we
can't
make
a
decision
about
how
to
work
with
one
another.
M
So
please
make
that
decision
for
us,
and
I
think
that
we
are
having
a
really
good
healthy,
really
a
conversation
about
that.
I
think
we
all
have
very
decent
conversations
about
about
working
with
one
another,
and
so
I
really
don't
think
that
this
is
an
item
that
is
relevant
to
the
charter.
This
is
a
resolution,
not
a
charter.
We
are
not
addressing
the
items
that
are
in
the
charter
that
relate
to
the
committees.
M
A
Thank
you,
casper
foley,
for
stepping
up
to
take
that.
I
appreciate
all
the
comments
and
views
I
I
don't
want
to
at
this
point.
I'd
like
to
really
hear
my
colleagues
out,
but
I
do
want
to
at
least
ensure
that
the
factual
record
is
clear,
councilman
randy,
you
may
not
have
meant
this
exactly
the
same
way,
but
I
think
you
suggested
that
we
we,
I
did
not
solicit
your
views,
about
your
council
appointments
and
in
fact,
on
january
1st,
at
10
a.m.
A
We
had
a
com,
a
conversation
in
which
I
asked
you
about
your
committee
assignments
and
which
ones
you
believe
you'd
most
like
to
have
that
you
don't
have
and
which
ones,
you
least
like
to
have
that
you
currently
do
have,
and
then
I
also
sent
up
a
follow-up
text
to
you.
I
think
you
should
discover
last
week
because
you
sent
me
a
text
just
recently.
A
In
addition,
henry
smith
on
my
team
reached
out
to
patrick
garrity
on
your
team,
twice
asking
for
conversation
about
this
very
subject
to
elicit
your
views
and
he
was
not
responded
to
so
I
just
want
to
make
it
clear.
We
are
doing
our
best
to
try
to
elicit
the
perspectives
of
all
the
council
members.
I
understand
that
may
not
change
anyone's
view
about
this,
but
I
want
to
at
least
make
sure
the
record's
clear
that
we
are
doing
our
best
to
hear
the
point
of
view
of
of
council
members
if
their
staffs
don't
respond.
M
Mayor
can
I
respond
to
that
sure.
Did
that
a
particular
item?
For
me
you
know
I'll
say
this.
I
was
recovering
from
from
covet.
It
was
you
know
the
first
of
the
year
I
hadn't
checked
in
with
our
city
attorney,
and
so
I
wasn't
sure
whether
what
kind
of
conversation
to
have
with
you
and
that's
something
that
I
clarified
on
the
diocese
and
nora
cleared
up
for
me.
So
you
know
I.
I
wasn't
sure
whether
I
could
say
yes
or
no
or
say
hey
these.
M
I
know
that
I
I
will
always
stand
up
for
my
for
my
team
they're,
an
excellent
team,
and
you
know
I
apologize
on
their
on
their
behalf.
If,
if
something
didn't
click
there's
always
the
human
error,
certainly,
but
my
point
was
not
to
to
say
that
you
didn't
do
your
part
in
terms
of
of
reaching
out
one.
It
was
my
misinterpretation
of
the
brown
act
and
not
violating
branagh.
So
I
was
very
conservative
about
that,
but
second
it
it
isn't
an
I
I
don't
know.
M
If
it's
an
ask
I
mean
you
know,
if
we
give
you
a
laundry
list
of
the
things
that
we
want,
that
we
will
certainly
get
get
that
as
councilmember
perales
stated
earlier
for
six
years
he's
been
interested
in
rules
and
just
now
he
is
he's
getting
that
position
so
anyways.
I
just
wanted
to
make
sure
I
responded
to
that.
Thank
you.
A
Yeah
absolutely-
and
you
know,
you're
right-
it's
never
the
case
that
everybody
gets
what
they
want
in
fact,
and
nobody
gets
what
they
want
when
there's
a
scarce
number
of
slots,
and
we
know
that
there's
some
particularly
the
particular
committees
and
assignments
that
people
want
that
are
in
very
high
demand.
And
so
there's
no
question
that
everyone
comes
away
a
little
disappointed
from
the
process.
I
think
no
matter
who
does
the
allocation,
but
my
recollection
of
our
conversation
on
january
1st
was
that
we
did
have
an
extensive
conversation.
A
N
Yes
and
council
member
uranus,
I'm
here
my
new
council
member
who's,
not
disappointed
to
have
four
assignments,
and
I
guess
I'll
I'll
regret
that
little.
I
want
to
clarify
a
few
things
about
my
thought
process
on
this.
First
of
all,
I
wanna
I
do
wanna
commend
the
mayor.
I
know
he
tries
hard
to
be
fair
and
and
make
good
assignments
here.
N
That
just
seems
strange
to
me,
so
my
push
is
just
to
say:
if
a
major,
if
a
majority
of
the
council
is
ever
going
to
want
to
change,
there
should
be
a
process
by
which
the
majority
council
can
get
that
change
and
have
that
be
in
the
code,
and
that's
why
I've
been
pushing
for
this
rule
change.
It's
just
very
simple
to
me.
The
other
thing
I
just
want
to
say
is
about
the
charter
review
process.
N
N
These
committee
assignments
for
at
least
two
to
three
more
years
before
there
is
any
outcome
of
the
charter
review
process
and
we
have
to
have
a
reasonable
and
clear
process
for
doing
so,
and
so
you
know,
as
council
member
said,
this
is
a
this
is
not
an
either
or
this
is
both.
The
charter
review
process
will
go
through
its
review
and
we
ought
to
have
a
clear
process
for
community
assignments.
In
the
meantime,.
Q
Yeah,
actually,
I
was
just
you
know:
councilmember
cohen
still
stole
some
of
my
comments,
so
I
was
gonna
echo,
some
of
that
in
regards
to
just
I
think,
the
the
timing
and
and
and
the
ability
of
the
council
and
hence
why
I
think
you
know
we
we
should
not
feel
uncomfortable
moving
forward
with
with
both
strategies
here
and
and
being
able
to
make
that
decision.
I
know
councilmember
jimenez
said
he
sort
of
maybe
still
up
in
the
air
about
it.
So
that's
that's.
Q
F
Hi
I
just
wanted
you
know.
I
just
wanted
to
make
a
brief
point.
I
I
appreciate
council
member
arenas's
comments
regarding
her
her
assignments,
but
I
just
really
needed
to
to
say
something
very
quickly,
because
I
have
two
of
the
standing
committees,
but
in
total
I
have
12
assignments,
which
includes
vta,
which
I
picked
up
which
meets
on
on
a
monthly
basis
with
an
additional
committee
that
we
were
given,
and
I
don't
know
if
I'm
going
to
have
one
assignment
or
two
assignments
from
vt.
F
So
I
wanted
to
to
just
mention
that
it
may
not
be
a
standing
committee
from
the
city,
but
I
picked
that
up
because
council
member
adenos
couldn't
take
that
on.
But
I
just
felt
like
the
need
to
go
ahead
and
say
that,
because
I
was
one
of
the
ones
that
only
had
the
two
standing
committees
and
I
didn't
take
t
e-
not
because
I
didn't
want
to
but
having
the
12-
and
I
was
just
added
another
covet
weekly
meeting.
F
I
appreciate
council
member
foley
for
taking
that
on
and
it
we
just
couldn't
do
that
anymore
and
just
like
last
week
you
know
council
member
arenas.
I
appreciate
you
know
the
the
lack
of
child
care
in
your
home
as
a
single
mom,
raising
three
teenagers,
it's
just
becoming
increasingly
more
difficult,
as
so
many
other
single
moms
are
having
a
hard
time
managing
and
juggling
the
workload
that
they
have
in
their
own
homes.
F
We're
I'm
doing
the
best
that
I
can
with
all
of
the
other
responsibilities,
but
again
I'll
do
the
best
that
I
can
and
my
staff
will
continue
to
do
what
they
can
do,
but
right
now
I
think
that
we
are
as
full
as
we
can
be.
So
I
appreciate
councilmember
foley
for
really
stepping
up
right
now.
Thank
you.
C
C
My
district
is
very
high,
needs
district
and
has
been
very
active
with
covid,
and
so
we
are
either
in
here
or
in
the
community
every
day,
and
so
I
wanted
to
start
that
give
that
introduction,
because
I
did
give
the
mayor
a
list
of
assignments.
I
did
and
he
listened,
and
I
very
much
appreciated
it,
and
I
have,
I
don't
know,
are
we
counting?
C
But
I
given
that
situation,
I
did
want
to
ask
councilmember
at
in
us,
because
we
did
just
have
a
side
conversation
councilmember
in
us.
I
know
the
mayor
has
been
working
to
achieve
gender
parity
on
rules.
It's
one
of
the
goals
that
he
has
talked
about
is
rules,
something
that
you
could
accommodate
with
your
schedule.
M
Oh
council,
member
esparza,
I
know
no,
I
get
listen
and
I
want
to
say
this
that
my
comments
were
not
to
shame
anybody
or
to
put
anybody
on
the
spot
by
any
means,
and
so
I
apologize.
If
my
comments
came
out
like
that,
I
don't,
I
think
all
of
you
know
me
well
enough
to
know
that
I
I
don't
work
from
from
that
base
of
shaming
others
to
take
on
things.
M
This
way,
I'm
just
being
very
honest
about
what
I
can
handle
and
also
with
the
principles
of
you,
know
who's
the
right
person
for
for
a
committee,
and
so
I
think
you
know
if
you
can
appreciate
my
the
vulnerability
of
putting
myself
out
there
and
actually
saying
that
otherwise
you
know
I
would
just
carry
on
and
do
the
same
and
and
try
to
to
have
it
all
and
do
it
all
right
and
so
so
listen,
councilmember,
swarza.
I
know
that
you,
you
also
have
many
many
committees.
C
M
Anybody
else
is
role
waiting
to
speak.
I
you
know,
listen,
I
I
I
will.
I
will
go
ahead
and
accept
your
proposal
for
for
rules
and,
like
I
said,
listen,
I'm
not.
I.
I
hope
that
nobody
took
my
comments,
the
wrong
way
and
if
they
and
if
anybody
did
I'm
I'm
trying
to
clarify
that
now
that,
in
the
spirit
of
collaboration
and
working
with
one
another
well,
I
will
like
I
accept
the
rules.
Thank.
A
A
C
Q
I
was
diagnosed
with
bell's
palsy
last
week,
and
so
the
right
side
of
my
face
is
temporarily
paralyzed,
and
so
that's
the
that's
the
the
reason
for
some
of
sort
of
what
what
you're
saying
what
looks
like
I
went
to
the
dentist
recently
so,
but
but
wanted
to
make
mention
of
that
for
anybody
that
was
like.
I
said
I
was
getting
several
text
messages
so.
A
A
A
So
it's
fair
to
say:
there's
there's
no
direct
impact.
I
guess
councilman
jimenez
probably
put
it
well
about
that,
because
all
this
could
be
reconsidered
next
year,
two
years
from
now
I
should
say
when
we
have
a
new
council
a
new
mayor
at
that
time.
I
don't
have
a
particular
horse
in
this
race,
since
none
of
these
decisions
will
affect
me
all
the
appointments
essentially
will
have
been
made
and
it'll
be
up
to
the
next
mayor
and
the
next
council.
A
But
I
am
sympathetic
to
the
notion
that
you
know
we've
tasked
a
commission
to
look
at
this
balance
of
authority
and
role
and
responsibility
of
various
folks
of
the
council
of
the
mayor
of
the
staff
within
the
city
and
then
obviously
for
the
council
to
make
very
important
decisions
about
what
we
put
in
front
of
the
voters,
and
I
think
councilmember
mahan
put
it
well.
This
is
something
that
is
going
to.
It
may
well
significantly
realign
decision
making
within
the
city.
A
In
fact,
I
would
just
I
would
submit
that
our
making
a
decision
for
the
next
mayor
and
the
next
council
is
probably
not
the
best
use
of
our
time
and
they
probably
would
appreciate
just
making
their
own
decision
and
us
leaving
it
to
them.
So
I'm
I'm
sympathetic
to
that
notion,
but,
frankly,
I
don't
think
any
of
this
makes
a
difference
in
the
end
in
terms
of
where
we
sit
and
what
we
do
so,
I
just
hope
we
can
vote
and
get
on
to
our
work.
C
N
A
A
N
F
Q
B
B
P
A
A
C
Thank
you
mayor.
I
pulled
this
this
item
because
I
I
felt
it
was
important
to
have
a
public
discussion
about
it.
We
have
voted
on
the
coyote
creek
trail
prior
on
the
phase.
One
portion
from
a
story
to
feeling
the
portion
that
we
are
voting
on
today
is
for
essentially
the
jungle,
and
so
I
wanted
to
ask
about
the
history
of
this
one.
I
think
the
history
of
the
story
to
feel
in
portion
was
tied
to
a
state
grant
which
provided
10
million
dollars
to
renaissance
place.
C
B
Can
you
hear
me
now,
okay,
so
the
the
you're
correct?
The
funding
we
had
for
the
work
from
story
to
phalan
is
through
an
ahsc
grant
through
the
state.
The
funding
we
have
for
the
current
project.
For
today's
council
item
is
through
the
safety
lieu
federal
transportation
bill
and
that
was
passed
in
2005,
I
believe
and
became
accessible
to
california
in
2008.
B
This
is
money
that
we've
used
over
a
number
of
years
to
prepare
master
plans,
design
documents
and
currently
using
it
towards
this
project.
The
you
might
ask
well
that
money's
been
around
a
long
time.
Couldn't
it
be
around
much
longer,
and-
and
that's
not
the
case
here
in
that
we
worked
with
caltrans
through
every
phase
of
our
project,
to
get
permission
to
use
the
funds.
So
most
recently
we
received
from
caltrans
the
notice
that
we
could
proceed
with
construction
and
we
are
now
on
notice
that
we
need
to
be
invoicing
regularly.
B
B
C
All
right,
thank
you.
I
just
wanted
to
make
that
clear.
I
mean
we,
we
aren't
a
pandemic,
we
do
have
housing
staff,
who
are
our
pr
s
and
housing
staff
who
are
working
on
a
lot
of
other
things,
and
so
I
I
wanted
to
pull
that
out
for
the
public
discussion
for
folks
to
understand
why
this
is
not
something
that
that
would
be
our
choice,
but
it
the
city,
is
faced
with
a
difficult
decision,
and
so
I
also
wanted
to
ask:
is
there
anyone
from
housing?
C
Here
I
thought
I
saw
rachel.
Oh
there's
reagan,
okay,
hi.
I
wanted
to
ask
you
know
given
that
we're
still
in
covid
and
it's
winter-
and
I
know
you
guys-
are
working
really
hard
right
now,
because
we're
standing
some
warming
centers
or
we're
doing
a
lot
of
outreach
and
activity
right
now.
What
is
our
plan?
I
mean
this
is
the
jungle
right.
This
is
this
is
this
is
quite
a
bit
of
work,
a
big
project
and
there
are
a
lot
of
people
that
are
impacted
in
this
area.
C
J
So
far,
however,
as
eve
said,
you
know
we
do
have
some
funding,
that's
at
jeopardy
if
we
don't
move
forward,
so
housing
has
been
working
with
our
street
outreach
teams
to
frequently
visit
the
site,
we're
doing
as
many
vulnerable
vulnerability
assessments
or
vi
spadets,
as
we
can,
and
that's
really
the
initial
tool
and
assessment
that
people
take
to
get
into
our
housing
and
services
queue.
And
so
that's
a
high
priority.
J
J
To
get
that
assessment
and
a
referral
to
hotels,
and
then
we
also
have
our
bhc
sites
that
are
the
mayberry
site
and
also
the
site
at
felipe
will
open
later
this
month,
and
it
could
be
possible
to
refer
folks
to
that
site
as
well.
So
those
are
our
existing
tools.
Unfortunately,
we
don't
have
any
new
shelters
opening
that
would
be
able
to
accommodate.
C
N
C
J
C
And
then
I
had
a
question:
I'm
not
sure
who
to
ask
this
to
if
it's
prns
or
but
so
there's
some
issues
with.
We
have
been
providing
porta
potties
and
hand
washing
stations
and
supports
to
many
areas
through
the
city,
including
this
stretch
of
story
road,
and
so
my
understanding
is
with
the
port-a-potty
located
on
the
east
bank,
where
construction
will
be
occurring.
What's
the
plan
to
relocate
the
porta-potties,
I
mean
people,
people
use
them,
they
need
it
right.
So.
B
We
have
our
our
trail
manager
working
with
our
senior
ranger,
who
is
going
to
be
forming
a
committee
that
reaches
out
to
the
police
department,
the
housing
department,
other
city
departments,
as
well
as
some
of
our
strong
advocates
in
the
area
and
we're
the
the
plan
is
to
have
that
trail.
Safety
plan
operational
in
in
a
pilot
form
to
be
used
at
at
this
site,
as
the
project
is
open
to
the
public.
J
C
Okay,
thank
you.
I
just
this
is
a
this
is
a
lot
and
there's
there
it's
not
the
only
I
mean
it's
probably
the
biggest,
but
it's
not
the
only
one
and
there's
there's
a
lot
of
activity
happening
in
the
city,
and
I
wanted
to
just
ensure
that
our
city
teams
had
the
capacity
to
to
not
just
serve
this
site,
but
all
the
others
that
I
know
I
know
are
part
of
the
work
plan.
So,
okay,
thank
you
for
that.
So
with
that,
I
will
move
to
approve
the
rebid
second.
A
I
Yeah
paul
soto,
I
was,
I
read,
I
recalled
when
the
jungle
was
dismantled.
That
was
actually
you
weren't
in
office
mayor
le
cardo.
No,
I
think
that
was
one
of
your
first
things
that
you
did
in
office
was
go
to
that
particular
area
and
clean
that
area
up.
I
remember
it
clearly
and
that
area
has
been.
It's
literally
been
home
for
a
lot
of
that
population
I
was
I
was.
I
K
Hi
there
has
been
display
been
here.
There
has
been
about
three
items:
the
past
three
weeks,
council
meetings
of
trails
issues.
This
is
interesting.
I
think
trail
work
and-
and
I
mentioned
in
all
on
all
these
three
separate
occasions-
that
you
know
the
the
open
public
policy
ideas
with
trail
work,
I
think,
is
a
really
interesting
idea
and
it's
a
way
to
you
know
both
the
everyday
community
and
local
government
can
figure
out
together
how
to
work
on
open
public
policy
ideas.
K
It
seems
the
perfect
vehicle,
so
to
speak.
To
do
that,
you
know
so
it's
nice
to
mention
it
again
and
because
there
will
be
technology,
there
will
be
surveillance.
There
will
be
data
collection
along
the
trails
in
some
form,
and
you
know
it's
I've
just
always
been
thinking
about
lately.
You
know
just
walking
down
a
trail
thinking
that
you
know
the
mayor's
developed
some
pretty
nice
open
policies
about
how
you
know
technology
is
taking
place
as
I'm
walking
on
this
trail.
That's
comforting.
K
I
think
it
would
be
a
lot
more
comforting
than
than
people
feeling
hostile
or
you
know,
feeling
they're
being
spied
upon,
and
you
know
all
that
stuff
and
yeah.
I
just
feel
you
know
it
to
to
work
on
all
of
those
issues.
I
think
that's
the
perfect
way
to
do
it
and,
and
the
city
of
davis
is,
I
always
mentioned.
K
A
A
Great
guys,
wanna
make
sure
I
knew
exactly
any
other
comments.
All
right,
let
me
suggest
we
move
on
before
voting
and
we
take
on
the
next
consent
item,
because
I
suspect
we
could
do
this
a
bit
more
efficiently
by
taking
everything
together,
councilmember
mayhem.
I
believe
you
wanted
to
pull
item
2.15,
which
is
the
acceptance
of
the
retirement
plan's,
comprehensive
annual
financial
report.
P
P
So
you
know
my
understanding
if
I'm
reading
the
reports
correctly
is
that
in
in
fiscal
years
1819
our
return
on
police
and
fire
and
federated
were
both
at
4.3
percent
and
then
in
1920
we
were
at
a
little
lower,
3.1
and
3.6
respectively,
both
all
four
of
those
rates
being
below
the
6.625
target
rate
of
return,
and
obviously
that's
during
a
period
of
generally
what's
been
economic
expansion,
and
certainly
the
financial
markets
have
done
extremely
well.
So
you
know
nothing.
P
O
So
in
years,
as
you
stated
where
the
economy
has
been
growing,
we
have
been
lagging
our
peers,
mostly
because
of
the
lower
risk
profile,
meaning
that
we
have
lower
growth
assets,
namely
less
equities,
and
when
I
say
less
equities,
I
mean
considerably
so
we
may
have
30
equities
of
the
total
as
a
location
versus
some
of
their
peers
may
have
50
percent
right.
So
when
the
market
is
doing
well,
they
are
gonna
outperform
us.
O
So-
and
I
think,
as
I
explained
before,
there
is
a
very
fine
line
between
doing
that
and
balancing
those
returns
with
the
budget
impact
to
the
city
when
returns
are
down,
and
so
that's
really
the
main
reason
why
we
have
been
lagging
our
peers
on
returns,
and
maybe
another
issue
is
I
mentioned
before
the
sequence
of
returns
right.
We
hear
in
the
media
mostly
about
a
very
well-known
index,
say
like
the
dow
jones
or
the
s
p,
where
they
have
returned
20,
30
percent.
O
O
But
if
you
look
at
the
returns
that
we
actually
earn
over
the
calendar
year,
2020
there
are
about
15
percent
again,
we
are
now
in
the
top
decile
and
it's
about
15,
because
why?
Because
of
the
sequence
returns,
meaning
the
bulk
of
the
dow
jones
and
s
p
returns
happen
on
the
second
half
of
the
year.
You
won't
see
that
on
the
returns
as
you're
june
30th.
O
So
but
again
I
do
want
to
caution.
We
remain
vigilant.
Obviously
we
understand
the
markets
are
very
volatile
and
again
the
main
the
main
goal
of
the
boards
is
to
make
sure
that
we
participate
at
the
upside
while
limiting
the
downside
and
the
returns
so
as
to
limit
the
impact
to
the
plan
sponsoring
in
the
budget
process.
O
In
closing,
I
do
want
to
mention-
and
I
know
you
are
new
to
the
council,
but
most
of
the
council
members
know
this,
because
both
boards
were
keeping
a
lower
risk
profile,
meaning
having
less
growth,
assets,
investor
or
equities.
When
the
pandemic
took
place
and-
and
it
went
down
considerably
in
about
45
days,
we
were
able
to
call
board
meetings
and
led
by
our
cio
and
staff
and
the
boards
agreed
to
increase
the
risk
profile,
meaning
that
we
decided
to
invest
the
the
amount
of
equities
that
we
have
in
in
both
plans.
O
Now
it
is,
it
was,
is
higher
than
it
usually
was.
It's
still
considerably
less
than
our
peers,
so
going
forward,
we
may
at
times
may
lack
our
peers,
but
we
did
take
advantage
of
the
downturn
and
were
able
to
increase
the
equity
withholding
as
the
market
was
coming
up.
That's
the
reason
for
the
very
good
returns
that
we
have
had
over
the
last
canada
year.
O
But
again
I
just
caution
everyone
not
to
read
too
much
into
it
from
the
standpoint
that
twofold,
we
are
very
mindful
of
the
potential
volatility
the
markets
going
forward,
so
we
have
to
keep
track
of
that
and
second,
both
plans
and
boards
will
entertain
asset
allocations.
Reviews
in
the
coming
months,
so
once
that's
completed,
we'll
be
back
to
the
boards
to
provide
the
information,
but
also
to
the
city.
So
hopefully
that
answered
the
question.
P
Yeah
that
was
a
lot
of
context.
I
appreciate
it.
It's
really
helpful
and
makes
sense
that
we've
got
the
lower
risk
profile.
I
think,
although
I'm
glad
to
hear
that
that
we
were
able
to
quickly
respond
to
the
market
downturn,
take
advantage
of
that
and
you
know
curious.
If
that's
you
know,
greater
exposure
to
equities
might
actually
make
sense,
but
but
I
understand
your
point
so
is
there
any
reason
to
believe
in
a
downturn
which
is
quite
I
mean
at
some
point:
the
economy
has
got
to
cool
off
in
the
financial
mark.
P
P
Right,
thank
you
it.
I
think
it's
great
that
we
made
the
tough,
but
I
think,
fiscally
responsible
decision
to
lower
the
expected
rate
of
return,
which
is,
I
think,
proven
to
be
the
right
move.
I
guess
the
question
is
given
that
we're
still
not
averaging.
You
know
our
average
performance
over
the
last
five
years
or
so
10
years.
As
far
as
I
understand
is
still
not
on
that
current
target,
that's
lower
the
6.625,
you
know.
O
So
that's
a
good
question.
I
I
do
think
it's
reasonable
and
the
reason
for
that
be
customer
mayhem.
Obviously
we're
talking
about
a
period
of
the
last
five
or
such
years,
but
the
the
the
basis
of
of
the
assumption
is
a
return
for
the
long
term.
So,
even
if
we
do
not
meet
6.625
in
the
next
five
years,
I
think
the
concept
is
that
over
the
long
term,
10
20
years
we're
going
to
average
about
six
point
six
to
five.
Now.
O
Having
said
that,
I
think
it's
also
fair
to
say
that
again
I
mentioned
the
boys
have
been
moving,
certainly
downward
in
in
that
in
in
the
assembly
of
return,
and
there's
always
a
possibility
that
they
may
continue
that
downward
approach
in
the
next
couple
of
fiscal
years,
perhaps
to
six
and
a
half
or
even
something
lower.
But
I
don't
you
know,
obviously
I'm
speculating,
because
I
can't
speak
for
the
bore
on
that
issue.
But
again,
I
think
the
main
issue.
O
P
Got
it
yeah?
I
guess
my
concern
is
even
if
it
is
a
10
20
year
time
span
with
the
low
exposure
to
equities,
I'm
finding
it
hard
to
imagine
how
we
how
we
get
there,
but
I
I
that's
something
we
can
take
offline
I'd
love
to
learn
why
I
appreciate
the
substantive
answers
and
I'm
mindful
of
the
rest
of
our
agenda.
P
O
Sure,
mr
consumer
manager,
we
are
thankful
for
the
question
and
we're
always
willing
to
address
that
issue.
Just
one
last
point
I'd
like
to
make.
We
are
increasing
our
our
allocation
to
what
is
known
as
alternative
investments,
that
they
are
less
weak
liquid
investments,
but
they
expect
it
to
return
a
higher
return
than
equities
in
the
future.
That
is
the
other
part
of
the.
B
A
Great,
thank
you
yeah.
I
think
this.
This
is
a
an
issue
in
which
clearly
the
tail
can
wag
the
dog
and
we've
we've
certainly
experienced
that
in
the
past,
and
I
appreciate
your
questions
because
it's
something
we
have
to
continue
to
be
laser
focused
on.
I
now
ask
if
there
are
members
of
the
public
like
to
speak
on
this
item
or
any
other
item
on
the
consent
calendar
so
that
before
we
take
up
a
motion,
mr
soto.
I
Is
investing
in
like
because
the
13th
amendment
still
allows
for
slavery?
I
know
there's
a
level
that
you
know
just
this
baffles
them,
but
there's
an
exception
clause
in
the
13th
amendment
and
that
amendment
states
that
you
slavery
is
still
permitted
in
the
united
states.
We
have
not
abolished
slavery.
I
Slavery
is
allowed,
with
the
exception,
for
punishment
for
a
crime
and
duly
adjudicated
within
the
court
of
law.
So
it
stands
to
reason
that
if
we've
already,
we've
already
accepted
the
fact
that
there
are
injustices,
equity
issues
within
the
framework
of
the
criminal
justice
system,
then
that
means
everything
that
flows
from
that,
which
is
people
ending
up
in
prison,
that
debt
labor
is
able
to
be
exploited
and
we're
actually
sustaining
a
slave
from
that.
I
What
I'd
like
to
know
is
if
there's
any
portion
of
the
fire
department
or
the
police
department
invested
in
the
detention
centers
are
in
industry
authority.
Where
is
this
invested
in?
How
are
we
getting
the
return?
That's
one
piece.
The
second
is
that
we
have
to
start
preparing
because
we
haven't
felt
the
birth
pangs
yet
of
what
has
happened
with
colvin,
so
within
the
next
five
to
ten
years,
we're
going
to
barely
be
experiencing
economically
what
is
happening
today.
Thank
you.
K
K
K
I
have
some
words
about
martin
luther
king

hall,
memorial
lighting
that
can
be
read
in
an
upcoming
public
record
with
the
upcoming

I
hope
a
certain
acknowledgement
from
all
sides
can
be
given
the
current
vietnam,
vietnamese
government
and
their
international
negotiating
skills
that
can
very
much
help
the
world
at
this
time
and
that
I
feel,
can
naturally
question
the
intentions
of
both
china
and
the
us
to
again
apologize
I'd
like
to
prepare
yourselves
now

We

I

going

a
screen.
Okay,
thank
you
so,
good
morning
afternoon
or
good
afternoon,
mayor
and
city
council,
jewelry
city
otter,
I'm
pleased
to
present
our
office's
13th
annual
report
on
city
services.
This
report
provides
performance
data
on
the
cost,
quantity,
timeliness
and
public
opinion
of
city
services.
G
It
includes
historical
trends
and
comparisons
to
targets
in
other
cities.
The
report
is
intended
to
be
informational
and,
unlike
other
reports
from
our
office,
who
do
not
have
recommendations
in
this
report.
Nor
is
there
an
administration
response.
We
sought
feedback
and
input
from
the
administration
during
our
work
and
included
that
feedback
as
appropriate.
G
The
report
builds
on
the
city's
existing
performance
measurement
and
reporting
systems.
We
selected
and
reviewed
performance
data
to
provide
assurance
that
the
information
presented
provides
a
fair
picture
of
the
city's
performance.
All
city
departments
are
included

in
our
review.
However,
the
report
is
not
intended
to
be
a
complete
set
of
performance
measures
for
all
users.
It
provides
insights
into
service
results,
but
is
not
intended
intended
to
thoroughly
analyze
results.
G
We
want
to
give
a
little
context
understand
who
we
serve
as
a
city
government.
The
population
of
over
1
million
san
jose
is
the
10th
largest
city
in
the
united
states
and
the
third
largest
in
california.
The
city
has
an
ethnically
diverse
population
about
38
percent
asian
31
latino
or
latina
and
25
white.
Roughly
40
of
san
jose
residents
are
foreign
born.
More
than
half
of
residents
speak
a
language
other
than
english
at
home.
G
In
2019
san
jose
media
household
income
increased
to
116
000.
However,
the
cost
of
living
in
san
jose
is
among
the
highest
in
the
nation.
Fifteen
percent
of
san
jose
households
earn
less
than
thirty
five
thousand
dollars
an
estimated
sixty
one
hundred
residents
were
homeless
according
to
the
2019
homeless
census.
G
The
city
did
have
a
challenging
year
in
1920,
with
a
multiple
emergencies
affecting
the
community
and
requiring
a
city

record-breaking

The
coped
19
pandemic,
of
course
had
an
unprecedented
impact
on
the
city
and
continues
to.
G
In
march,
2020,
the
city
issued
a
proclamation
of
local
emergency
as
the

as

The
pandemic
also
had
a
disproportionate
impact
across
the
community.
According
to
data
from
santa
clara
county,
the
latino
or
latina
community
accounted
for
nearly
60
of
cobit
cases
in
the
county,
though,
that
community
overall
accounts
for
just
26
percent
of
county
residents.
G
The
map
seen
on
the
slide
shows
the
impact
across
zip
codes
within
the
city
of
san
jose,
and
this
data
we
have
here
is
of
december
2020
as
a
result
of
the
emergency.
The
city
suspended
many
services,
activated
emergency
operations

or
eoc,
and
established
new
services
to
support
the
emergency
response.
Among
the
efforts
were
expanded,
homeless
sheltering
operations
and
local
assistance
for
families
and
small
businesses,
among
others,
city
also,.
D
G
To
set
up
a
county-wide
distribution
network
of
food
for
at-risk
residents
and
as
described
later
in
the
presentation,
many
regular
city
services
were
cut
back
in
facilities,
including
city
hall,
libraries,
community,
centers,
the
animal
shelter
and
the
permit
processing
center
were
closed
to
the
public.
The
support

of
government
city
staff
had
provided
services
remotely
in
some
cases,

were
replaced
or
added
to
this
employee's
regular
duties.
G
G
So
2020
marks
san
jose's
10th
year
of
participation
in
the
national
community
survey.
3750
residents
respond
to
the
survey
either
by
mail
or
online.
I
do
want
to
thank
the
administration,
all
of
you
on
the
city
council,
as
well
as
many
of
the
city's
non-profit
partners
and
other
leaders
in
the
community
who
helped
promote
the
survey,
we're
always
trying
to
expand
the
reach
of
the
survey.
So
we
can
get
a
larger,
more
representative
sample
for
our
residents,
while
nearly
two
thirds
of
residents
expected
to
remain
in
san
jose
over
the
next
five
years.
H
G
The
lowest
rated
characteristics
include
the
cost
of
living,
the
availability
of
affordable
quality
housing
and
the
cleanliness
of
san
jose,
and
although
it
is
difficult
to
infer
causation,
it
should
be
noted
that
declines
in
those
three
characteristics
between
2013
and
2017,
tracked
closely
with
decline
in
overall
ratings
of
the
quality
of
life
in
san
jose
that
you
see
in
the
slide.
For
example,
the
percent
positive
ratings
for
cleanliness
dropped
from
40
to
20
during
those
years
and
the
affordable
housing
measure
dropped
from
22
positive
to
a
low
of
5
percent.
G
Some
changes
in
2020
may
correspond
with
the
effects
of
the
pandemic.
Children
place
orders,
for
example,
despite
remaining
highly
rated
ratings
for
shopping
opportunities
and
employment
opportunities
have
lower
ratings
in
2020
than
2019..
Alternatively,
ratings
for
traffic
flow
on
major
streets
and
ease
of
travel
by
car
improved
in
2020.
G
G
Additionally,
for
the
second
year
in
a
row,
the
knight
foundation
and
san
jose
state
university
participated
in
a
parallel
survey
of
students,
faculty
and
staff
full
results
of
both
the
overall
survey
and
the
san
jose
state
survey
are
available
for
review
within
the
report
and
online
so
for
additional
contact
for
the
service,
environment
or
city.
The
report
reviews
the
city's
financial
condition
and
trends
and
citywide
operating
budget
staffing
in
1920.
Both
the
city's
overall
revenues
and
expenditures.
G
Increased
increased
governmental
revenues
were
primarily
a
result
of
an
increase
in
grant
revenues
such
as
federal
aid
to
support,
cobit,
19
related
expenditures
and
a
paved
maintenance.
Pavement
maintenance
grant
from
vta
as
a
result,
revenues
increased,
but
the
city's
unassigned
general
fund
balance
ratio
decreased.
The
nsi
general
fund
balance
refers
to
funds
that
are
not
assigned
for
a
specific
purpose.
G
Previous,
the
previous
slide
looked
at
total
city
revenues
expenses
and
if
we
look
at
the
general
fund,
the
city's
primary
operating
fund,
the
story
was
a
little
different,
while
the
city
initially
projected
a
5.1
million
budget
surplus
for
1920,
the
economic
impact
of
code
of
19
required
the
city
to
address
a
general
fund
revenue
shortfall
of
45
million
dollars
in
april
2020.,
the
shortfall
was
resolved
through
expenditure
reductions
and
other
offsetting
revenue
actions.
Additionally,
the
city
receives
state
and
federal
grants
to
help
fund
emergency
services.
G
Increased
staffing
in
recent
years
has
nearly
restored
staffing
levels
to
what
they
were
10
years
ago.
However,
some
city
departments
remain
below
those
levels.
In
some
cases,
the
cia
struggled
to
recover
from
budget
and
service
reductions
a
decade
ago.
In
other
cases,
the
city
is
providing
new
services
or
has
changed
how
services
are
delivered.
G
G
Of
services
that
residents,
business
and
other
stakeholders
count
on
beginning
in
fiscal
year,
1718
the
administration
selected
its
top
six
performance
measures
representing
achievements
across
the
city's
key
lines,
business
or
city
service
areas.
These
include
community
and
economic
development,
environmental
and
utility
services,
neighborhood
services,
public
safety,
transportation,
aviation
services
and
strategic
support.
G
We've
included
these
csa
level
performance
measures
in
our
report
and
what
you
see
in
this
slide
can
be
found
on
our
website
at
www.san
joseca.gov
service
report.
First,
we
have
a
short
demo
of
what
you
can
find
on
a
web
zone.
I
do
apologize
that
the
information
slide
is
small.
We
just
want
to
give
an
idea
of
what
you
can
find
on
the
website,
we'll
be
going
over
performance
highlights
across
the
csas
and
following
slides,
so
first,
the
community
and
economic
development
csa.
You
can
hover
over
individual
data
points
on
our
website.
G
In
this
case
the
number
of
affordable
housing
units
completed.
There
are
also
historical
trends
and
other
information
about
the
data
each
of
the
csas
are
included.
Next,
there's
environmental
utility
searches
followed
by
neighborhood
services.
You
know
public
safety
is
coming
up
and
again
you
can
hover
over
data
points.
In
this
case,
the
percent
of
police
responses
is
for
priority.
One
instances
within
six
minutes
and
here
are
the
results
for
priority
two
responses.
G
Next,
we
come
up
with
the
strategic
support
and
finally
transportation
and
agitation
services.
Again,
this
is
on
our
website
at
www.san,
joseca.gov
servicesreport.
These
dashboards
include
fiscal
year
data.
I
give
the
budget
office
plans
to
explore
how
and
where
they
can
collect
more
real-time
data
in
the
future.
G
As
of
june
2020,
over
220
city
staff
were
activated
to
work
within
the
usc
with
another,
with
2
000
additional
staff
providing
support
in
some
capacity
police
department
received
about
1.2
million
calls
for
emergency
and
non-emergency
services
and
respond
to
about
212
000
priority
one
to
four
calls
or
incidents.
I'm
sorry,
the
city-wide
average
response
time
for
priority.
One
calls
was
seven
minutes,
which
is
above
the
six-minute
target
on
average
police
respond
to
priority
2
calls
in
21
minutes,
which
is
well
over
their
11
minute
response.
G

The
area
of
community
economic
development
jobs,
pre-employed
resident
in
san
jose
increased
slightly
in
2019
to
0.85.
However,
it
is
still
below
the
envision
2040
target
of
1.1
job
for
employed
resident.
As
noted
earlier,
san
jose's
unemployment
rate
jumped
in
2020
due
to
the
covet
pandemic,
and
what
we're
looking
at
here
is
2019
figures,
so
we'll
see
how
the
covid
may
have
affected
that
in
the
future
number
of
permit
center
customers,
field
inspections
and
building
permits
issued
decreased
due
to
the
pandemic.
G
74
of
plan
checks
for
development
projects
were
completed
within
processing
time
targets.
67
of
building
inspections
occurred
within
the
target
time
of
24
hours.
The
volume
of
construction
decreased
for
the
third
straight
year.
However,
the
value
of
construction
has
increased
over
the
last
two
years
in
1920
developers,
completed
217
new,
affordable
housing
units
with
city
health,
up
from
the
111
reported
in
1819.
G
G
With
newly
available
funding
from
vta
measure
b,
the
department
of
transportation
was
made
was
able
to
perform
preventive
maintenance
on
local
and
neighborhood
streets
in
2019.
The
first
time
in
eight
years
measure
t
funds
will
further
support
street
pavement
repair.
This
retreat.
The
city's
street
pavement
condition
is
rated
to
fare
on
the
pavement
condition
index
rating
scale
by
the
mtc,
though
the
score
did
increase
slightly
from
the
prior
year.
The
fatal
and
injury
crash
rate
rose
slightly
to
2.4
per
thousand
residents
in
2019.
G
20
1920
marked
the
first
full
fiscal
year
that
san
jose
clean
energy
provided
businesses
in
residence,
with
options
for
renewable
and
carbon
free
energy.
San
jose
clean
energy,
served
over
329
thousand
accounts
and
stayed
within
its
target
opt-out
rate
of
five
percent.
The
city
has
a
goal
of
reducing
greenhouse
gas
emissions
to
less
than
3.66
million
metric
tons
of
carbon
dioxide
equivalent
by
2030
and
san
jose,
clean
energy
to
help
the
city
meet
those
goals.
G
G
The
parks,
recreation,
neighborhood
service
department
of
prns
had
three
new
parks
in
2019-20
iris
chang
park,
rincon
south
park
and
the
arcadia
ballpark
overall
prns
rated
park,
condition
of
3.4
on
a
five-point
scale
due
to
coveted
pr
has
closed,
many
of
its
recreation
facilities
and
programs,
including
happy
hollow
park
and
zoo
community
centers
and
certain
park
amenities.
As
a
result.
G
Overall,
participation
in
recreation
programs
decreased
and
direct
program
revenues
covered
just
30
percent
of
costs
below
the
target
of
40
percent
resident
satisfaction
with
the
city's
parks
and
recreational
opportunities
decreased
as
well
again,
not
surprising,
because
the
effects
have
covered
library,
hours,
circulation
and
program.
Participation
also
decreased
due
to
covet
in
1920.
The
library
had
4
million
visitors
down
2
million
from
the
prior
year
during
the
pandemic,
the
library
transitioned
services
to
allow
express
pickup
of
library
materials
through
online
or
phone
reservation,
though,
circulation
dropped
from
7.8
million
to
seven.
G
G
The
information
technology
department
or
I
t
reports
86
of
his
1920
projects,
meant
scheduling,
cost
scope
and
value
goals
exceeding
its
target
of
80
percent.
It
also
helped
transition
the
city
to
a
remote
work
environment
during
cobit
19,
facilitating
an
increase
over
800
users
on
the
city's,
secure
access
servers
and
more
than
70
000
monthly
teleconferencing
hours.
G
G
So
additional
copies
of
the
report
are
available
from
the
auditor's
office
and
post
on
our
website
at
www.sanosaca.gov
service
report.
We
thank
the
many
departments
that
contributed
the
report.
We
wouldn't
support
would
not
be
possible
without
their
support.
We'd
also
like
to
thank
the
knight
foundation,
san
jose
state
university,
for
their
continued
interest
and
participate
participation
in
our
resident
survey
and,
of
course,
all
the
residents
who
took
part
in
the
survey
we're
happy
to
answer
any
questions.
Thank
you.
A
I
What
I
zeroed
in
on
and
focused
on
was,
of
course,
the
income.
I
mean
that
that
is
alarming,
that
35
000,
and
what
we
have
here
is
the
kovid
issues
being
articulated
right
in
front
of
us
with
these
numbers.
People
are
only
making
this
amount
of
money
on
the
county
level
on
the
common
level.
Last
year,
49
of
the
residents
in
santa
clara
county
make
under
60
000
a
year,
okay.
I
I
You
know,
so
you
can
have
all
the
data
in
the
world.
But
if
you
do
not
approach
the
data
in
the
interpretation
and
the
articulation
of
what
that
data
really
actually
means
and
says,
then
you
have
an
incomplete
picture
of
what's
going
on
in
the
city.
I
think
the
information
is
there.
I
think
we
just
have
to
have
the
fortitude
to
accept
it.
Thank
you.
K
K
You
know
I
have
gone
through
a
lot
with.
You
know
you
had
an
item
a
few
months
ago
about
or
weeks
ago
and
months
ago
about
backup
generators
and
the
use
of
hydrogen
fuel
cells
for
for
backup
generator
use
and
that
really
set
off
kind
of
a
chain
reaction
for
myself
in
thinking
about
issues
and
really
brought
up.
The
idea
of
the
importance
in,
however,
you've
been
planning.
However,
you
plan
your
community
energy
future.
K
I
don't
want
to
go.
You
know
crazy
on
what
they've
described
I
want
to
do
it,
you
know
very
formally,
but
it
was
surprising
information
and
I
invite
everyone
to
read
into
it.
It's
their
october
ebce
reports
ir
ipr
reports,
item
19
of
their
of
their
board
of
directors.
Ebc
meetings,
interesting
work,
yeah,
it's
kind
of
community
energy
describing
what
to
expect
in
our
lives
for
the
next
10
years,
and
I
hope
I
can
do
that.
Well,
myself.
Thank
you.
B
Zero
yeah,
you
guys
got
a
lot
cut
out
for
you,
budget
wise.
You
know
we're
paying
eddie
what
a
thousand
bucks
a
day
to
go.
Work
in
dallas
right
now,
real
nice,
yeah,
you're,
gonna
you're,
not
gonna,
have
enough
money
to
pay
off
all
these
people
in
your
in
your
budget,
not
going
to
happen.
You've
got
to
get
these
businesses
open,
still
not
going
to
happen,
but
I
know
we're
renaming
streets
and
not
fixing
them.
That's
one
thing
I
know
that's
happening.
B
The
one
thing
in
the
report.
That's
a
lie.
Is
that
their
one
minute
off
for
response
time?
How
about
an
hour
off
how
about
two
hours
off
the
ems,
the
police
and
fire
of
this
town
are
a
disgrace.
They
should
hang
their
head
in
shame.
They
don't
respond
to
calls
and
when
they
do,
they
show
up
with
a
bad
attitude
if
they
show
up
at
all
this.
This
city
needs
to
be
cleaned
up
with
its
pension
and
everything
else.
You
guys
are
you
you
guys
are
the
probably
the
saddest
city
in
the
world.
B
You
know
I
used
to
live
in.
Reno
reno
is
better
than
san
jose.
That's
how
terrible
this
town
is,
and
now
you
got
eddie
off
making
all
this
money
he's
going
to
dallas.
This
is
all
fine
and
daddy
how
many
of
these
other
people
retire
with
fat
salaries
and
go
work.
Someplace
else
I
mean
san
jose
is
just
a
gold
mine
for
for
these
emergency.
For
these
first
responders,
I
call
them
last
responders
and
as
for
a
fuel
backup,
I
can't
wait
to
see
what
you
guys
have
in
store
for
fuel
backup.
B
It's
gonna
be
awesome,
I'm
sure
I
mean
when
the
power
goes
out
here.
It's
it's
like
new
york
and
this
it'll
be
like
new
york
in
the
70s
it'll,
be
terrible.
You
guys
should
be
ashamed
of
yourself.
Everyone
on
that
city,
council,
even
the
people
I
like
and
including
you
sam,
you
guys,
should
all
be
ashamed
of
yourself
of
how
you
run
this
city.
I
hope
you
have
backup
generators
and
this
you
know
mystery
unicorn,
micro
grids
and
everything.
I
hope
you
can
at
least.
P
Thanks
mayor,
I
for
the
record,
I
have
family
in
reno,
I'm
very
proud
to
be
a
resident
of
san
jose.
I
think
we're
doing
a
great
job
here.
So
on
the
on
the
report,
joe
thanks.
Thanks
for
all
the
time
you
and
your
team
put
in
on
this-
I
I
really
enjoy
going
through
this
report
every
year
and
I
apologize
to
my
colleagues
for
pausing
on
this
for
a
few
minutes
here.
P
So
it
seems
to
me
the
building
blocks
are
there,
but
as
I
go
through
this
report
and
and
then,
of
course,
the
the
operating
budget
with
its
performance
metrics,
I
have
a
hard
time
telling
to
what
extent
that
system
and
that
kind
of
feedback
loop
is
actually
operating.
And
there
were
three
things
I
wanted
to
just
point
out
and
then
I'll
get
to
my
question.
So
one
is
while
this
report's
incredibly
information
rich
and
it's
presented
really
nicely.
P
P
I
was
stuck
in
particular
on
the
11x
multiplier
on
every
dollar
we
put
into
economic
development,
I'm
sure
there
would
be
diminishing
returns
if
we
increase
that
too
much,
but
pretty
interesting
that
for
every
dollar
we
invest
in
economic
development,
we're
we're
generating
11
on
the
other
side,
but
the
question
sort
of
like
so
what
I
mean
we've
got
all
this
data,
but
how
is
it
informing
our
strategy?
Are
we?
Should
we
be
shifting
resources?
Are
we
changing
our
delivery
approach?
P
I
think
the
risk
in
terms
of
our
city
staff
is
that
you
know,
in
my
experience
performance
data
if
it's
it's
tied
to
a
strategy
and
there's
a
learning
cycle
and
we're
constantly
reflecting
and
improving
what
we're
doing
it
can
be
super
empowering
and
motivating,
and
if
we're
not
and
we're
just
kind
of
always
at
80
percent
of
goal,
and
not
really
clear
if
it
matters
or
what
we're
doing
differently,
I
think
it
can
actually
have
the
opposite.
It
can
actually
be
demotivating.
P
P
I
feel
like
we're
in
a
world,
that's
moved
beyond
big
annual
reports,
and
I
know
you
highlighted
the
dashboards,
which
is
great,
but
I
I
guess
I'm
curious
to
understand
how
close
we
are
to
being
able
to
report
data
continuously.
I
saw
this
amazing
example
actually
right
here
in
san
jose
from
our
fire
department
chief
sapien.
This
past
week
walked
my
team
and
me
through
the
dashboards
he's
using
to
track
real-time
data.
P
It
doesn't
clear
to
me
from
these
kinds
of
top-level
reports
that
we're
consuming
at
the
council
level
to
what
extent
that
feedback
cycle
is
happening
regularly
and
is
tied
to
the
sort
of
city
level
goals
coming
from
our
city
manager
and
and
presumably
approved
by
council.
So
I'm
trying
to
wrap
my
head
around
how
we're
how
we're
managing
performance
and
how
we're
driving
toward
the
outcomes
for
our
for
our
community.
So
I
and
I
apologize-
I
was
long-winded.
P
I
just
I
think
it's
a
really
important
topic
and
there's
a
lot
of
potential
here
and
while
the
report's
great,
I
think
we're
actually
leaving,
we
may
be
leaving
a
lot
of
value
on
the
table.
So
to
get
to
my
questions,
I
guess
first
question
might
actually
be
more
for
for
dave
our
city
manager,
I'm
you
know,
I'm
curious
to
what
extent
what
I
just
said
resonates
where
you
think
we
are
in
that
process
and
maybe
specifically
do
we
have
clear
citywide
goals
that
this
kind
of
report
should
be
responsive
to.
H
Yeah
so
certainly
appreciate
the
question,
and
you
know
you-
and
I
talked
a
little
bit
here-
I
don't
know
if
it
was
yesterday.
It
was
recently
it's
been
a
little
bit
of
a
whirlwind
recently,
so
you
know,
maybe
I
could
start
by
just
talking
about
the
enterprise
priorities.
I
think
most
of
the
council
know
this.
H
We,
we
have
a
tremendous
amount
of
performance
measures
that
that
you
know
manage
that
work
and
and
and
some
of
that
reports
up
to
the
budget.
Not
all
of
it.
There's
a
lot
of
performance
measures
that
go
on
within
the
departments
that
that
doesn't
get
reported
up,
but
they're
these
these
major
initiatives
that
we
have
going
on
that
cross
department
lines
that
and
when
I
interviewed
for
this
job.
Actually
I
brought
those
forwards.
I
didn't
call
them
enterprise
priorities.
H
You
know
smarter
people
than
me
have
helped
me
kind
of
come
up
with
that
name
and
there
weren't
eight
of
them
at
the
time.
There
were
seven
of
them
and,
since
you
know,
we've
as
a
staff
have
worked
to
to
evolve
them
to
really
and
and
keep
in
mind.
This
is
not
to
set
the
direction
for
the
city.
That's
what
you
all
do.
H
It
was
to
make
sense
out
of
what
we
were
being
told
and
try
to
set
up
a
framework
for
how
we
would
manage
across
department
lines
to
ensure
that
work
gets
done
and
to
focus
the
departments
that
this
is
where
the
manager's
office
is
going
to
be
focused
on
these.
These
eight
priorities,
because
they're
so
important
to
our
community.
H
H
So,
yes,
I
think
what
you're
talking
about
councilmember
in
terms
of
top
line,
you
know,
enterprise-wide
performance
type
measures
is
the
right
way
to
go
and
we
were
definitely
on
that
track
and
I
think,
are
eager
to
get
back
on
that
track
so
that,
because
I
think
that
alignment
will
really
help
the
organization
focus
on
what's
most
important.
I
will
remind
you
all
that
we
have
a
study
session
coming
up
at
the
end
of
february,
where
we're
going
to
talk
about
our
road
map,
and
I
think
that's
a
big
part
of
this
discussion.
H
P
Just
a
quick
follow-up,
I
think
it
does-
and
I
think
you
in
in
overseeing
the
operation
of
the
city
deserve
from
us
as
it
was
a
council
and
was
effectively
like
a
board
of
directors,
almost
clear
direction
on
what
matters
most,
and
so
I
guess
my
fault
question.
I'm
glad
to
hear
we're.
Moving
in
that
direction.
P
Do
you
feel,
like
you,
have
the
tools
and
the
frameworks
to
push
us
to
give
you
that
direction
and
to
start
to
codify
goals
that
are
reflective
of
and
prioritize
goals
that
are
reflective
of
the
outcomes
we
care
about
in
the
community,
because
I
get
that
there
are
trade-offs.
I
mean
there's,
no,
there's
no
free
lunch
here.
We
can't
prioritize
everything,
but,
but
you
deserve
to
know
from
us
in
some
sort
of
stack
ranking
what
outcomes
are
most
important
yeah.
I.
H
I
think
this
this
council's
mayor,
you
have
all
show
I'll
just
say
this.
You
know
I'm
connected
with
all
the
city
managers
across
the
country.
You
know
our
council
historically
been
very
good
about.
You
know,
working
with
this
on
a
prioritization
process
for
policy
work
which
many
other
cities
don't
have.
H
It's
just
everything
comes
to
the
staff
and
they're
expected
to
do
everything,
and
so
I
think,
in
that
way
we've
been
pretty
blessed
over
the
years
that
that
the
mayor
and
the
council
have
been
willing
to
kind
of
go
through
that
process
and-
and
I
think
you
know
the
road
map
study
session
that
we
have
coming
up
is,
I
think,
that's
that's
what
yeah
that's
what
we
need?
We,
we
need
that
direction
from
you
all,
and
I
know
it's
tough
to
kind
of
prioritize.
P
If
we
set
those
clear
goals,
is
it
the
responsibility
of
the
audit
function
or
some
other
function
within
the
city
to
help
us
build
what
I
was
calling
that
that
learning
cycle,
where
we're
in
analyzing
how
we're
performing
and
someone
or
maybe
many
different
people,
are
providing
some
insight
or
some
at
least
hypotheses
into
how
we
improve
performance
to
better
achieve
outcomes.
Where
does
that
live?
I'm
not.
I
don't
see
that
in
most
of
our
really
anywhere
written
down,
and
so
I'm
curious.
H
Yeah,
I
think
you
know
often
it's
at
the
programmatic
level.
It
certainly
is,
and
and
and
at
the
you
know,
department
level.
No,
not
all
of
that
gets
reported
up
through
the
council
or
to
the
council.
You
know.
I
think,
that
the
relationship
that
the
administration
has
with
with
the
city
auditor
is
a
is
a
very
productive
relationship.
Obviously
the
city
auditor
is
independent
from
the
administration
and
that
that
strategy,
I
think,
has
served
the
city
well
for
many
many
years.
H
G
G
One
other
role
for
office
is
obviously
the
performance
audit
when
we
go
deeper
into
pro
at
the
program
level
and
we
will
often
have
recommendations
about
gathering
data
using
data.
I'm
just
thinking
of
some
audits
that
just
came
out
within
the
last
year,
we
had
a
series
of
recommendations
in
our
fleet
audit
related
to
the
use
of
data
to
to
to
inform
decision
making
at
the
program
level
same
thing
with
the
parks.
Audit
park,
maintenance
audit.
P
Yeah
and
I've
seen
those
those
those
are
great.
I
think
that's
great,
I
I
think
so.
This
is
helpful.
I
appreciate
I
I
think
you
know
my
opinion
at
least,
is
that
it
would
be
great
david,
the
level
of
the
city
if
the
council
were
able
to
work
with
you
to
understand
those
enterprise
priorities,
how
we're
measuring
the
outcomes
and
be
privy
to
at
least
the
strategic
considerations
at
that
level.
P
I
just
I
think
at
the
council
that
would
be
nice
for
us
to
have
insight
into
the
strategic
decisions
and
trade-offs
that
are
being
made
and
what
data
is
informing
and
what
analysis
is
informing
those
trade-offs
so
that
we
can
weigh
in
and
at
least
have
that
context,
but
it
sounds
like
we
there's
kind
of
alignment
and
moving
in
that
direction,
which
is
great.
So
I'm
really
looking
forward
to
the
study
session
and
appreciate
both
of
your
comments.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Councilmember.
A
H
J
You
and
I
want
to
thank
council
member
mayhem
for
his
questions
and
comments,
it's
very
very
similar
to
my
line
of
questioning
as
a
first
year,
council
member,
so
I
it's
fun
to
fun,
to
hear
that
and
revisit
it
and
see
where
how
we've
changed
over
time
and
and
that's
not
a
dig
at
all,
I'm
just
it's,
I'm
it's
nice
to
have
someone
who
thinks
like
me
on
the
council.
So
thank
you.
J
J
So
I
I
and
we
have
come
farther
as
as
dave
pointed
out-
and
I
do
appreciate
dave
your
comments
about
about
the
road
map
and
the
need
for
prioritization.
I
know
we've
talked
about
that
a
little
bit
prior
to
the
holidays.
We
talked
about
returning
to
to
services
and
to
that
end
I
wanted
to
ask
a
couple
of
questions,
and
I
know
we'll
get
a
chance
to
talk
more
about
this.
J
J
There
were
a
few
of
the
items
and
I
I
don't
want
to
knock
too
much
on
on
1920,
because
we
did
have
obviously
a
lot
to
contend
with,
but
I
was
I
was
wondering
when
I'm
looking
on
page
40-
and
this
is
just
the
community
economic
development
dashboard,
the
csa
dashboard,
looking
at
the
percent
of
projects
that
receive
consistent
feedback
from
staff
throughout
the
course
of
project
review.
So
this
is
looking
at
development.
J
J
We're
not.
We
haven't
been
meeting
those
targets
in
previous
years
and
the
the
dire
need
to
meet
those
targets
as
we're
trying
to
restart
our
economy.
I
just
those
were
the
ones
that
really
jumped
out
at
me
that
we
have
we're.
Gonna
have
to
pay
attention
to,
and
again
it's
just
really
getting
out
of
the
way.
J
As
as
we
try
to
you
know,
we
see,
we
see
our
our
jobs
to
employed
resident
ratio
is
.85.
Our
goal
has
always
been
at
least
1.1
or
higher.
Having
trouble
meeting
that
and
then
knowing
that
we've
had
this,
this
huge
unemployment
just
kind
of
hit
us
in
this
last
year,
so
I
just
wanted
to
point
those
out
and
just
to
again,
I'm
not
going
to
knock
on
us
not
having
met
targets
for
1920
if
it
hasn't
been
a
pattern
already
and
those
were
already
patterns,
and
I'm
I'm
just.
C
Thank
you
mayor.
I
had
a
couple
of
questions
and
one
is
for
pr
s.
There
was
an
item
here
that
talked
about
facility
direct
program,
revenue
and
park
conditions
and
resident
satisfaction
with
city
parks
and
recreation
services,
and
I
wanted
to
ask
specifically:
is
this
feedback
going
to
be
incorporated
into
the
bond
polling
for
the
part
bond
in
2022,
so
that
we
can
make
sure
that
we
take
the
data
that
we're
getting
from
residents
and
that
we
address
that.
Q
B
A
Q
C
C
C
C
G
C
N
C
But
one
of
the
things
that
the
city
is
looking
at
is
redistricting
for
this
police
district.
Can
you
talk
about
the
status
of
that
and
what
that
could
do
to
reduce
this?
This
intensity
of
calls
that
are
just
really
in
in
the
heart
of
the
city
and
the
number
of
resources
that
impacts
impacts,
redistricting.
L
L
As
you
also
know,
we've
been
looking
at
many
many
different
ways
and
how
to
respond
to
calls
for
service
in
there.
When
you
look
at
the
actual
calls
for
service
district
lincoln
can
sometimes
be
upwards
of
double
the
amount
of
calls
for
service,
both
priority
ones,
twos,
threes
and
fours,
and
every
in
any
other
part
of
the
city
as
a
temporary
measure.
L
We
added
more
staff,
but
as
we
continue
to
look
at
adding
more
staff,
when
we
start
looking
at
our
span
of
control
of
officers
to
sergeants
and
supervision,
it
became
acutely
apparent
that
we
need
to
look
at
not
only
redistricting
and
splitting
this
most
likely
into
another
district
and
or
kind
of
pairing
it
out
with
other
districts
in
the
general
area.
Around
there
the
need
was
was
very
apparent.
C
Thank
you
appreciate
that
and
stephanie.
If
you
could
keep
the
presentation
up
and
go
to
the
next
slide,
the
next
public
safety
slide,
which
is
the
red
one
with
the
thank
you
with
the
fire
stations,
I
saw
chief
sapien
and
wanted
to
ask
either
him-
or
you
know,
I'm
not
quite
sure,
but
probably
chief
sapien,
so
station
26
and
16
are
in
district
7
and
we
have
some
fire
stations
in
the
works.
C
C
Thank
you
chief
and
one
more
question.
I'm
not
sure
if
this
is
for
you
or
for
dave
sykes
or
someone
else,
but
looking
at
that
graph,
you
can
see
how
many
of
those
calls
are
medical
calls
and
I'm
sure
we
can
talk
about
that
in
the
sort
of
macro.
But
in
the
micro
there
are
some
things
that
can
contribute
to
the
high
number
of
medical
calls
and
I'll
speak
for
myself
in
district
7
and,
for
example,
at
home.
C
First,
there
were
almost
1200
calls
for
service
at
the
shelter
and
a
lot
of
those
were
medical
calls
from
fire,
and
are
we
having
those
discussions
with
the
county
about
placing
medical
care
on
sites
such
as
permanent,
supportive
housing,
development,
shelters
and
other
sites
that
receive
a
high
volume
of
medical
calls
so
that
we
don't
have
to
put
the
people
who
need
help
through
that?
And
we
don't
have
to
put
the
residents
who
have
to
wait
longer
to
have
someone
respond
to
their
heart
attack
through
that.
D
So
this
is
jackie
morales
friend,
from
the
housing
department
kind
of
jumping
in
and
for
our
permanent
supportive
housing
developments
we
do
have,
and
we
do
partner
with
providing
health
services
and
especially
when
a
development
first
opens
when
we've
noticed,
there's
been
increased,
calls
for
services,
we've
tried
to
brainstorm
and
tried
to
bring
additional
services
to
try
to
address
that.
Some
of
the
challenges
have
been
on
the
permit.
Supportive
housing
side
is
that
people
have
used.
D
D
C
And-
and
I
mean
I'll
share
from
my
experience-
that's
happening
at
one
location
in
my
district,
so
the
county's
largest
permanent,
supportive
housing
development
opened
on
central
road.
A
year
ago,
we've
had
great
communication
and
the
partners
all
sit
down
and
talk,
and
I
think,
that's
frankly,
a
best
practice
to
keep
to
communicate
and
keep
an
eye
on
issues
and
resources.
C
We
noticed
a
big
bump
in
medical
calls
and
so
worked
with
the
county
to
bring
in
behavioral
health
specialists,
but
also
really
have
had
to
try
and
work
through
making
sure
that
there
are
medical
services
available
on
site,
because
sometimes
it's
a
combination
of
both
and
I'll
tell
you.
Another
thing
that
has
emerged
is
calling
9-1-1,
instead
of
providing
a
taxi
voucher
to
folks
that
need
a
ride
to
vmc
and
so
anyway.
C
I
wanted
to
ask
that
because
there
are
very
real
repercussions
in
the
neighborhood
and
as
well
as
for
the
residents
of
some
of
the
developments
who
have
high
needs
and
a
lot
of
health.
You
know
issues
and
are
often
seniors
themselves
and
need
that
medical
care,
and
so
I
look
forward
to
having
these
discussions
more
in
the
future.
Then
that's
it.
Thank
you.
A
H
Q
Yeah,
thank
you
very
much
and
just
want
to
echo
the
appreciation
of
the
report
as
well
always
enlightening
to
to
be
able
to
take
a
look
at
these
survey
results
and
I
want
to
say
impressed
by
our
freshman
councilmember
matt
mahan,
as
well
as
councilman
davis,
highlighted.
I
think
in
his
review
of
it,
and-
and
I
think
he
mentioned
that
this
was
not
the
first
time
that
he'd
looked
it
over
so
being
his
first
year
on.
Q
Q
the
year
before
we
had
36.88
and
and
then
it
it
went
really
low
in
2016
2017
at
only
1888
respondents,
I'm
not
certain
what
the
88
three
years
in
a
row
was
about,
but
that's
what
we
had
and
then
2015
2016
we
had
37
22,
3722,
so
kind
of
that
3
700
seems
to
be
a
decent
average
and
then
2014
2015,
which
was
the
fifth
year.
I
believe
that
we
had
done
this
survey.
We
only
had
505.
Q
now
I
stopped
searching
after
that,
so
maybe
they
they
go
down,
but
it
was
extremely
low
at
that
point,
and
so
I
I
had
a
question
a
couple
questions
in
regards
to
that
one
just
to
kind
of
see.
You
know
the
responses
that
we're
trying
to
achieve
it
looks
like
we've
hit
around
again
that
3700,
which
is
exactly
what
we've
hit
this
year.
So
I
think
you
know
favorable
response
rate.
What
are
we
trying
to
to
hit
in
in
that
regards.
G
R
G
Expanded
the
the
the
number
that
have
been
mailed
out
and
really
expanded
our
efforts
to
get
the
word
out
into
the
community
in
recent
years,
and
so
we
we
changed
up
a
little
bit
this.
This
past
year
was
the
first
year
we
offered
a
simplified
chinese
translation
in
terms
of
what
our
goal
is.
You
know
it's
just
we
keep
trying
to
get
more
and
more
is
really
what
it
is.
You
know
we're
just
thinking
we
were
just
talking
the
other
day
about.
G
Do
we
want
to
expand
the
mail
portion
in
to
beef
up
kind
of
the
the
the
random
portion
of
it
and
then
at
the
same
time
trying
to
keep
increasing
our
our
advertising
around
or
getting
the
word
out
on
the
online
portion.
It
did
go
down
from
last
year
and
part
of
that
again.
We
can't.
We
can't
point
to
one
thing,
but
one
area
that
did
drop
off
is
in
past
years.
We
had
a
lot
of
help
from
the
prs
and
library
and
work
to
future.
G
G
We
worked
with
the
office
of
racial
equity
to
get
a
list
of
community
leaders
and
we
reached
out
to
them
and
they
pushed
it
out
through
their
list,
so
we're
always
trying
to
get
more
and
more
because
we
are
concerned
about
you
know
the
the
response
is
not
coming
from
a
representative
group.
There
are,
there
is
response,
bias,
it's
a
long
survey
and
so
we're
trying
to
minimize
that
as
much
as
possible,
getting
as
many
people
involved
as
possible
in
terms
of
long-term
goals.
G
Again,
I
guess
I
don't
have
a
specific
number
that
I'm
shooting,
for.
I
just
want
to
keep
keep
getting
more
and
more
people
involved
and
also
getting
a
wider
selection
of
people
involved.
Like
I
said
this
was
the
first
year
we
had
simplifies
chinese
as
a
as
a
as
an
option
in
just
trying
to
reach
parts
of
the
community
that
might
not
have
been
represented
in
the
past.
G
Surveying
is
hard
response.
Bias
is
real.
We
generally
have
a
an
older,
wider
population
that
are
generally
homeowners,
that
respond
and
the
survey
folks
they
re-weight
the
information
re-weight
their
surveys
to
relate
the
responses
to
reflect
the
demographics
to
the
community,
but
the
more
we
can
get
the
word
out.
The
more
people
can
get
involved.
You
know
the
better,
the
better
off
we
are.
So
that's
you
know,
hopefully
that
answers
your
question.
Q
Okay,
I
I
think
you
know
certainly
again,
this
kind
of
went
back
to
the
comment.
The
public
comment
from
paul
soto
on
you
know
we
take
the
the
data
as
as
maybe
objective
and
interpret
it
subjectively,
but
I
think
at
the
same
time
we
have
to
recognize
the
objective
data
is
coming
from
0.3
percent
of
the
population
and
it's
whoever
decided
to
to
fill
out
the
survey
right.
So
I
think
it's
valuable,
but
we
can't
jump
to.
Q
I
think
extreme
conclusions
right
in
regards
to
what
we're
what
we're
hearing
or
seeing
or
reading
here,
because
of
of
just
knowing
simply
the
fact
that
you
know
the
pool
of
individuals
that
we're
getting
the
data
from
could
in
and
of
itself
be
skewed
simply
by
the
means
that
we're
we're
achieving
the
data.
As
you
point
out,
you
know
when
we
went
from
just
mail
to
doing
digital,
the
numbers
jumped
dramatically
right
in
the
thousands
which
I
think
is
great,
but
we're
we're
likely
still
missing.
G
Absolutely
I
agree
and
I
think
the
way
that
we
use
the
survey
results
often
is
is:
are
we
seeing?
What
are
the?
What
are
the
results
in
the
survey?
Do
they
make
sense
relative
to
the
data
that
we're
we're
all
we're
seeing
elsewhere?
You
know
I
point
out
on
this
on
this
chart.
The
lowest
rated
cert
community
characteristic
is
cost
of
living
in
san
jose,
and
that
objectively
makes
sense.
You
know,
cleanliness
of
san
jose
also
is
down
there
and
again
I
tried
to
point
out
that
it
was.
G
It
was
really
drops
in
some
of
those
ratings
which
really
tracked
closely
with
the
drops
in
the
quality
of
life.
Now
whether
the
number
is
you
know,
40,
you
know
whether
the
number
whatever
the
number
is.
It
seemed
to
make
sense
relative
to
what
we
were
observing
within
in
other
in
other
parts
of
the
report.
So
it's
one
piece
of
it
and
again,
I
think
one
of
the
one
of
the
things
that
we're
proud
of
in
this
report
is
showing
information
in
different
ways.
G
So
you
are
getting
the
the
performance
data
you're,
balancing
that
with
the
survey
data
and
you're
balancing
that
with
kind
of
the
workload
data.
So
you
have
an
understanding
of
the
context,
and
so
it's
one
piece
of
the
one
piece
of
the
puzzle
and
your
point
is
absolutely
fair
and
we're.
You
know
we
don't
have
a
specific
number
we're
shooting
for,
but
we're
trying
to
get
the
word
out
as
much
as
we
can
to
as
many
people
in
the
community,
because
we
we
think
that's
the
best
way
to
try
to
get.
G
You
know
that
that
broader
perspective
and
we're
trying,
I
mean
we're
we'll
we're
trying
to
do
better
every
year
and
we're
continue
we'll
we'll
look
we'll
debrief
at
the
end
of
this
project
and
figure
out
what
might
work
better.
How
can
we
reach
into
different
parts
of
the
community,
and
we
welcome
any
input
that
you
all
have
in
helping
us
get
there.
Q
Q
I
actually
really
appreciate
the
again
that
the
the
the
report
in
its
whole,
this
is
just
one
area
where
I
think
you
know
trying
to
get
that
that
input
from
our
community
members
is
is
important,
and
so
I
was
just
you
know,
kind
of
comparing
what
we've
seen
in
the
past
and
and
then
looking
where
we're
going.
And
so
I
think
I
think
this.
This
is
a
easy
question,
but
the
last
report
that
showed
that
you
did
the
survey
in
both
vietnamese
and
spanish
was
2015-2016.
Q
That's
the
last
time
you
wrote
it
or
it
showed
up
written
in
the
report,
I'm
assuming
it's.
It's
been
done
that
way
every
year,
and
then
you
mentioned
this
year,
we
even
added
chinese
correct,
correct,
correct.
Okay,
I
may
I
just
would
recommend
that
we,
we
re-include
that
it's
just
a
one
sentence
that
was
in
the
2015-2016
report.
That
said
that
you
know
the
survey
was
done
in
these
languages
and
then
I
think
we
should
maybe
strive
for
a
percentage
goal.
Q
G
Q
Q
That
tries
to
see
it,
but
I
think
there's
a
way
that
I
would
really
like
to
get
there
and,
and
one
of
the
ways
would
be,
let's
try
to
see
if
we
couldn't
get
there
by
maybe
just
thinking
a
little
bit
more
outside
the
box
creatively
in
ensuring
that
we
are,
maybe
you
know
touching
some
communities
that
that
are
not
necessarily
traditionally
included
in
the
in
the
survey.
Those
that
may
have
a
more
difficult
time.
Q
D
Q
These
next
few
months,
we're
probably
gonna
be
doing
just
that.
So
I
think
you
know
that's
that's
a
place
to
start
at
least
next
year
and
then
in
the
the
subsequent
years.
I
think
maybe
work
in
partnership
and
see
how
do
we
achieve
a
little
bit
more?
You
know
a
diverse
opinion
on
some
of
this
input
and
and-
and
I
actually
don't
necessarily
think
we're
going
to
come
up
with
some
sort
of
dramatic.
Q
You
know
difference
in
the
results,
because
I
would
agree
with
you
looking
at
the
results
that
we
see
on
our
screen
right
now,
things
like
the
cost
of
living,
you
know
being
the
the
least
favorable
indicator.
I
don't
think
that's
going
to
change
right
yeah,
so
I
don't.
I
don't
necessarily
think
some
of
those
things
are
gonna.
You
know
the
cleanliness
right
and
I
think
we
can
there's
a
ton
to
take
from
this
entire
report
where
it
can
help
us.
Q
You
know
make
some
policy
and
priority
decisions
moving
forward
where
we
know
time
and
again
and
unfortunately,
where
we
see
that
chart
that
we're
looking
at
at
the
left
on
the
quality
of
life
indicators,
right
that
this
plans
remain
in
san
jose,
recommend
living
in
san
jose.
Those
are
those
are
not.
You
know:
favorable
they're,
they're,
embarrassing
for
an
elected
official
right,
a
leader
in
san
jose
that
someone
that
looks
at
that
and
says
wow.
This
is
how
people
living
here
feel
about
the
city.
Q
You
know,
and
so
you
know,
I
think
that
again
appreciate
it.
Just
some
some
bit
of
recommendations
going
forward
I'll
end
on
a
different
topic,
which
is
in
relation
to
what
councilmember
esparza
said
she
just
sparked
interest.
I
would
agree
the
strain
that
we've
seen
you
know
on
our
city
services
like
police
and
fire.
You
know
we
see
that
all
over,
but
it
is
definitely
inequitable
throughout
the
city.
Q
E
E
It
says
capital
assets
and
spending
and
spending,
and
then
it
goes
into
the
infrastructure
backlog
and
then,
specifically,
if
you
look
down
on
the
on
the
table
there,
it
talks
about
the
backlog,
all
funds
as
of
january
2020.,
the
transportation
infrastructure
it
talks
about
the
it
mentions,
the
number
23.7
million
for
ongoing
need-
and
so
I
was
focusing
on
the
other
number.
Current
backlog
deferred
needs
871
million.
What
I'm
curious
about?
E
How
does
that
sort
of
tie
into
some
of
the
work
we've
been
doing
under
measure
t
and
and
is
that
number
sort
of
taking
into
account
all
the
great
work
that
dot
has
been
doing
or,
and
I'm
not?
I
I
don't
know
if
someone
from
d.o.t
is
on
or
yeah.
I
was
just
going
to
ask
yeah
yeah,
I'm
councilmember
john
russo,
director
of
transportation,
and
maybe
this
is
going
to
be
a
joint
effort.
E
A
A
B
E
G
O
E
L
K
J
E
E
Yes,
I
guess
what
stood
out
to
me
is
that
there's
certain
areas
so,
for
example,
eden
mills,
one
of
them
alum
rock
albiso,
seven,
trees,
bibliotheca,
latino
americana,
for
example.
They
all
have
low
circulation
rates,
and
I
can
only
you
know
my
my
my
mind
just
goes
in
different
places
as
to
why
that
is.
E
But,
but
I
guess,
there's
maybe
one
or
two
questions
I
had
one
is:
what
does
circulation
tell
us
like
if
circulation's
alone,
in
a
particular
area?
Obviously
that
seems
to
me
in
the
very
plain
sense:
circulation
is
just
the
number
of
items
that
move
in
and
out
of
the
library
right,
things
that
are
checked
out
a
book
or
whatever
it
may
be,
and
so
what?
What
does
it
tell
us.
J
J
In
balance,
for
instance,
like
a
lot
of
times,
a
neighborhood
that,
where
the
library
is,
has
a
really
high
use
by
children
after
school,
you
might
see
less
circulation
of
materials.
But
there's
really
high
in-house
use
and
really
high
program.
Attendance
again
and
also
population
of
a
neighborhood
is
important
and
the
ability.
E
E
And
is
there
a
way
to
this?
I
don't
want
to
maybe
dis-aggregate
it's
not
the
right
word,
but
try
to
figure
out
if
there's
a
strong
correlation
between
say,
you
know
again
I'll
just
say
edenville,
because
it's
in
my
district
eden
bell
and
maybe
the
lack
of
the
the
relatively
lack
or
lackluster
circulation
and
pairing
that
with
the
number
of
programs
and
sort
of
in-house
use,
if
that
goes
hand-in-hand
with
higher
in-house
use
paired
with
lower
circulation.
Is
that
do
you
guys
have
that
somewhere?
E
J
E
Okay-
and
I
know
obviously
in
the
in
the
the
pages
that
sort
of
lead
up
to
that
little
section
obviously
have
a
lot
of
other
information
as
well,
but
that
that
just
stood
out
to
me
and
then
and
just
one
other,
very
simple
question
that
say
for
example,
so
we
have
ebooks
that
we
can
check
out
right.
If
I
go
on
the
library
website,
I
can
download
a
book
or
I'm
trying
to
recall
it's
been
a
while
to
be
honest
with
you,
but
are
we
able
to.
J
J
J
Correct,
although
I
do
think
that
we,
we
may
have
the
ability
to
cross-reference
data
around
the
patron
account
and
the
zip
code,
that's
associated
with
that
patron
account
to
understand
where
the
circulation
is
coming
from,
but
you're
right
that
it
wouldn't
be
connected
to
a
specific
branch,
because
it's
really
around
you
know.
We
see
more
and
more.
This
idea
of,
like
the
the
internet
branch
at
the
library
that
it's
really
a
system-wide
service,
that
people
can
access
in
their
homes
and
obviously
or
from
school.
N
I'm
on
page
101
back
to
that
graph.
You
know,
since
since
council
members
asked
the
question
I
had
actually
noticed
when
I
looked
at
this
data
before
that
that
santa
teresa's
library
visitors,
which
is
that
that
map
on
the
top
was
a
lighter
color,
but
their
circulation
was
one
of
the
highest,
and
so
you
can
actually
do
like
a
an
interesting
correlation
into.
N
You
know
what
the
average
potentially,
what
the
average
visitor
is
doing
in
the
branch
you
know:
fewer
visitors
with
more
circulation
and
then
some
branches
like
kelly,
which
have
lower
circulation
but
higher
visitors,
which
means
they're
doing
other
things
in
the
library
and
not
necessarily
checking
out
as
many
books.
So
this
is
kind
of
how
you
can
answer
some
of
the
questions
he
was
asking
about
other
uses
of
the
library.
Besides
just
checking
out
volumes
and
doing
circulation.
J
Yeah
and
that's
absolutely
true-
we
see
that
it's
really
it's
very
interesting
to
us
as
librarians
that
the
character
of
each
neighborhood
and
the
types
of
usage
you
see-
and
sometimes
you
know
if
there's
more
technology
need
and
then
there's
more
in-house
use
because
folks
are
actually
coming
into
the
building
to
utilize
computers,
whereas
in
some
neighborhoods
there's
more
pickup
and
people
are
able
to
utilize
their
materials
at
home.
So
absolutely
happy
to
provide.
You
know,
branch
by
branch,
analysis
of
that.
N
Yeah,
great
and
so
so
now
back
to
the
discussion
on
the
resident
survey
and
I'm
always
very
skeptical
about
non-statistically
significant
surveys.
So
you
know,
I
think
councilmember
perales
was
kind
of
alluding
to
this
and
his
questions
about
the
numbers
of
people
doing
the
survey
in
different
formats.
N
You
know,
but
just
because
we
increased
the
number
of
survey.
Respondents
electronically
doesn't
asserting
we're
getting
this
a
good
statistical
survey.
So
you
know
having
a
target
performance
measure
of
having
a
certain
number
of
residents
who
answer
the
survey,
isn't
necessarily
where
we
want
to
go.
I
think
that
our
performance
measures
should
be
a
certain
statistical
significance
of
respondents
from
various
demographics
in
the
city,
making
sure
we
have
different
communities
represented
different
neighborhoods
represented
different
people
from
various
communities
represented
in
the
survey
in
a
statistically
significant
way.
N
I
think
that
would
be
very
helpful
to
us
so
figuring
out
how
to
achieve
that.
For
me,
it
should
be
the
ultimate
goal
when
we
improve
the
survey,
and
I
think
you
said
that
you're
working
with
survey
companies
who
do
some
manipulation
of
the
numbers
in
order
to
try
to
better
understand
how
significant
the
numbers
are.
Is
that
what
you
were
saying
before.
G
Odd
came
from,
and
so
the
in
expanding
the
survey,
if
possible,
it
is
there's
a
cost
question
from
our
office,
because
we
don't
have
a
tremendous
budget.
Expanding
that
portion
to
build
up
that
statistically
significant
piece
would
be
really
part
of
it
and
then
getting
the
the
online
portion,
which
you
know
they.
They
use
different
survey
techniques
to
kind
of
try
to
mitigate
some
of
the
response
bias
by
trying
to
mirror
the
random
sample.
A
G
That
so
that
the
you
know,
those
folks
who
attend
council
meetings
or
or
what
have
you
aren't
overly
drawing
pulling
the
data
one
way
or
another.
That
being
said,
the
better
method
is
just
to
reach
a
more
representative
sample
to
begin
with,
and
so
I
think
again
as
we
keep
thinking
through
how
we
do
this
expanding
the
the
the
random
portion,
I
think,
is
also
a
part
of
it
to
to
get
that.
You
know
more
statistically
significant
that
part
that.
N
Doesn't
need
as
much
manipulation
as
is
part
of
what
we
need
to
think
about,
but
even
as
you
get
people
to
do
the
online
survey,
you
know
you
know
about
where
they're
coming
from
and
what
kinds
of
respondent
they
are
right.
So
we
can
still.
You
can
still
determine
some
statistical
significance
of
their
response
right.
G
N
B
G
That
is
a
good
question,
and
so
one
thing
we've,
you
know
in
talking
with
a
survey
consultant
they
they.
You
know
what
you
exactly
said.
The
online
surveys
are
generally
going
to
be
more
negative
than
some
of
the
other
forms,
so
what
they
try
to
do
is
they
they?
They
look
at
the
different
response
between
the
the
mail-in
portion,
the
random
one
and
then
the
online
and
then,
like.
G
I
said
they
try
to
use
some
what
they
call
calibration
technique
to
to
reduce
the
difference
between
the
two
and
so
then
they
try
to
they
make
a
subjective
determination,
whether
it's,
whether
they
can
blend
it
in
such
a
way
that
the
data
won't
be
overly.
You
know
skewed.
That
being
said,
as
I
said,
better,
the
better
option
is
to
get
to
a
wider
population
to
begin
with,
get
a
broader
reach,
with
a
with
a
random
portion
of
it
and
then
see
where
we
are.
G
M
N
B
N
G
But
I
would,
I
would
say
they
need
to
be
as
like
what
I
said
earlier.
They're
one
piece,
they're,
one
data
point
to
look
in
the
context
of
the
broader,
broader
report
and
broader
measure.
So
do
they
again
do
they
make
sense
relative
to
what
you
what
you're,
seeing
in
police
response?
If
police
responses-
and
I
don't
mean
to
pick
on
the
police
department
if
responses
are-
are
we're
not
hitting
our
target
or
they're
becoming
slower,
and
you
see
a
decline
in
in
some
of
the
measures
around
police
services?
G
N
That
you
know
that's
what
I'm
saying.
I
think
the
trends
can
be
useful
to
us.
I'm
just
I
just
also
hesitate
to
have
residents
spreading
out
sending
out
or
spreading
numbers.
That
say
you
know
some
absolute
percentage
number
and
and
start
to
live
with
like
a
30
or
a
point.
An
absolute
percentage
might
be
less
meaningful
than
the
trends
we're
seeing,
which
I
think
are
clearly
telling
us
something
about
real
real
experiences.
N
R
Thank
you
and
joe
thank
you
for
your
team
for
a
very
detailed
report.
I
really
appreciate
the
opportunity
to
sit
down
with
you
last
week
and
ask
a
few
of
my
questions
and
then
also
to
listen
to
my
counsel.
Colleagues
today
ask
you
additional
questions,
but,
and
and
I'd
like
to
just
follow
up
with
them
a
few
of
them
and
and
since
you've
been
talking
about
this
actual
survey
itself
I'll
start
there
do
you
have
a
breakdown
by
district
of
how
many
residents
responded
to
the
survey.
R
I
think
that
would
be
really
telling
each
in
our
districts
we
know
generated
by
the
phone
calls
we're
receiving
what
areas
of
satisfaction
are.
So
we
almost
don't
need
a
survey
because
we're
getting
that
survey
every
day
live
time
by
people.
Calling
us
and
saying
trash
is
a
problem.
Police
aren't
responding
quickly
enough
and
and
whether
and
again
not
to
pick
on
the
police,
you
just
when
you
read
next
door.
R
That's
what
they're
constantly
saying
is
package
that
fits
up,
and
all
of
these
details
are
up
not
necessarily
true,
but
that
is
what
the
community
is
feeling
and
that's
what
generates?
The
survey
survey
results,
so
I'm
wondering
if
you
have
those
statistics
by
a
district
and
I'd
be
interested.
How
close?
I
could
predict
to
district
nine's
response
to
some
of
those
questions
that
you
ask.
R
Additionally,
the
the
timing
of
the
survey
is
interesting
in
relation
to
covid.
I
understand
the
survey
was
conducted
in
october.
We
had
been
in
covid
for
several
months.
People
were
starting
to
get
a
little
more
grumpy,
a
little
more
frustrated
services,
weren't
occurring
they
they
kind
of
forgave
the
city
for
a
while
for
lack
of
some
city
services.
But
after
a
few
months
they
started
to
get
really
grumpy
and
we
could
tell
that
by
the
phone
calls
that
were
generated
to
us.
R
So
it
will
be
interesting
when
we
have
the
survey
next
year
october.
What
kind
of
survey
results
you
will
get?
So
I
agree
with
expanding
the
survey
and
maybe
targeting
questions
for
youth
for
seniors
for
different
marginalized
communities.
So
we
can
understand
exactly
what
their
issues
are
and
our
concerns
and
thereby
determine
what
services
we
need
to
provide
in
targeted
areas.
R
Also,
just
as
as
councilmember
perales
was
talking
about
the
surveys
and
how
many
more
we
should
get
out,
ten
thousand
sounds
like
a
good
goal.
I'm
just
going
to
throw
that
out
too
and
but
I
think
we
can
help
you
and
one
way
we
might
be
able
to
help.
You
is
through
the
use
of
technology
and
and
I'll
give
a
shout
out
to
it,
who
was
rated
highly
by
the
residents
on
satisfaction.
R
R
All
of
the
operations
of
the
city
are
detailed
and
the
relationship
of
customer
satisfaction,
but
also
how
the
staff
is
doing
and
how
the
community
is
doing.
So
I
I
really
appreciate
that
so
so.
Thank
you.
I
do
have
a
couple
questions
for
jill
about
the
library,
and
I
noticed
that
my
my
couple
of
questions-
one
we
all
are
collecting
books
that
we've
been
reading
furiously.
R
J
Thank
you
for
the
question
councilmember,
you
know.
As
you
know,
since
the
covet
closure,
we
ceased
collecting
donated
materials,
but
that
is
something
that
we
get
asked
frequently
and
since
we
are
now,
thankfully,
in
a
position
to
start
considering
increasing
services,
that's
something
that
we'll
consider
whether
or
not
we
can
manage
donated
materials.
J
You
know,
meet
on
on
our
sites
and
manage
the
materials,
because
they
usually
do
that
for
us,
and
so
we
have
been
working
with
them
to
try
to
figure
out
what
the
next
step
is.
So
we'll
get
back
to
your
office
as
soon
as
possible,
because
that
is
something
we
get
requested
quite
often
during
this
period
and
it's
something
we're
hoping
to
resume
soon.
R
I
appreciate
that,
thank
you
very
much
and
I
like
council
member
peral
jimenez.
I
noticed
some
libraries
have
better
circulation
than
others.
Will
we
be
using,
given
that
we
have
a
a
budget
crisis
that
we're
going
to
continue
to
face?
Will
we
be
using
this
information
to
inform
budget
decisions
on
libraries
and
possibly
reducing
hours
at
certain
underserved
libraries
like
I'm
looking
at
my
two
libraries,
cambrian
and
pearl
cambrian
has
a
high
circulation
rate
and
pearl
does
not
so?
R
Is
it
possible
that
one
of
those
two,
of
course
they
service
completely
different
areas
of
the
district
that
one
might
have
hours
reduced
based
on
a
budget
issue?
Will
you
be
taking
a
look
at
that,
or
will
it
be
across
the
board
reduction
if
it
comes
through
to
that?
I
don't
want
to
panic
any
listeners,
but
that
the
libraries
always
seem
to
be
something
that
we
take
a
look
at,
and
I
I
a
proponent
for
keeping
the
libraries
open
as
much
as
we
can
well
they're,
not
really
technically
open.
R
J
Yeah,
thank
you
for
that
question.
I
think
that
again,
the
what
the
library
looks
at
in
terms
of
usage
is
well
circulation
is
certainly
one
metric.
We
look
at
several
different
types
of
usage,
so
program
attendance
visitors
to
the
library
use
of
our
public
computers
and
look
at
that
as
a
whole
in
terms
of
what
is
each
branch
usage
look
like
and
what
what
need
does
it
fill
in
the
community?
I
do
think
that
if
library
hours
are
up
for
consideration
because
of
budget
reductions,
we
are
going
to
be
looking
at.
J
H
Thank
you
and
I
think
I
think
joe
covered
it
well,
you
know.
I
will
note
that
the
council
knows
this,
that
you
know
we.
We
have
established
some
reduction
targets
within
the
departments,
but
that
that
is
a
process
to
generate
proposals
that
we
we
take
through
a
process
to
really
evaluate,
and
obviously
we
want
to
do
everything
we
can
to
minimize
impacts
to
the
community.
R
R
L
So
I
don't
have
the
specific
numbers
as
far
as
the
hiring
I
do
know
that
we
have
been
hiring
been
putting
on
number
one,
a
very
active
recruiting
campaign
to
not
only
hire
but
diversify
our
hiring
when
it
comes
to
the
dispatchers
up
there.
I'm
being
told
that
the
numbers
are
as
far
as
numbers
that
are
putting
in
for
employees
are
good
and
we're
getting
more
than
going
through
the
academy,
so
that
is
steadily
climbing,
which
is
great
news
for
our
dispatchers.
L
I
know
you
know
that
they
work
a
lot
of
overtime
and
a
lot
of
that
is
mandatory
over
time,
so
that
is
increasing
up.
When
we
look
at
obviously
response
timing,
we
look
at
the
average
of
emergency
calls.
You
know
this
year,
we're
around
for
priority
ones
around
six
seconds.
Our
target
is
6.5.
So
a
lot
of
that
deals
with
the
initial
call
from
when
it
comes
in
and
really
what
we're
looking
for
is
when
the
initial
call
comes
in
how
quickly
it
gets
queued
and
how
quickly
it
gets
dispatched
out.
L
L
R
Okay,
I
appreciate
that,
thank
you
and
and
in
the
survey
results.
92
percent
of
the
red
residents
said
that
the
city
should
focus
on
keeping
increasing
a
feeling
of
safety
with
the
community,
and
this
is
something
we
hear
all
the
time
whether
it's
my
bike
was
stolen
out
of
my
garage
or
package
theft
or
real
serious.
I
mean
violent
crimes.
We
hear
that
all
the
time,
so
I
noticed
in
some
of
the
statistics
that
there's
we
have
a
clearance
of
homicide
rates
of
71
percent
versus
this.
R
The
state
and
nashville
we're
way
above
that
which
is
awesome.
So
congratulations
with
regards
to
violent
crimes,
though
we're
low,
our
statistic
is:
35
percent
versus
state
and
national
is
46
percent.
So
what
efforts
are
being
implemented
to
improve
clearance
of
violent
crimes?
What
what's
like
the
number
one?
Two
things
that
you
could
do
to
increase
solving
violent
crimes.
L
L
We
have
roughly
130
personnel
that
work
in
our
bureau
of
investigation
is
down
from
about.
You
know
when
I
would
say
go
back
to
when
we
had
about
1300
officers.
We
had
a
little
over
200
in
the
bureau
of
investigation,
so
that
gives
you
perspective
downsizing
about
70.
When
it
comes
to
that
this
last
year
we
had
about
4
500
fewer
cases,
but
we
are.
We
are
assigning
more
cases.
There
was
a
lot
of
cases
that
were
going
by
the
wayside
either
for
a
lack
of
investigative
resources.
L
We
assigned
32
000
cases
last
year
when
we
look
at
it
and
again
when
you
look
at
those
numbers
as
compared
to
the
amount
of
staff
that
is
up
there.
That
is
an
incredible
number.
One
thing
that
the
clearance
rates
do
not
take
into
account
is
the
sometimes
lag
in
investigation
investigations
themselves.
So
I'll
give
you
an
example
of
that
a
crime
is
cleared
when
there's
an
actual
arrest
that
is
made
on
it.
So
there's
a
warrant
out
for
an
arrest
that
is
not
taken
into
consideration
as
a
clearance.
L
So
if
a
warrant
is
put
out
in
somebody,
it's
not
cleared
until
that
person
is
actually
in
custody,
and
then
we
always
look
at
you
know
a
case
sometimes
take
a
while
it
takes
a
while
to
investigate
so
one
that
happens
this
year
may
not
be
cleared
until
next
year.
You
know,
as
with
anything,
we
know
that
we
would
like
to
get
our
clearance
rates
up.
It's
something
that
we
constantly
look
at
our
bureau.
L
Investigations
are
constantly
looking
at
ways
to
improve
a
lot
of
that
comes
with
the
the
data
collection
that
they
do.
We
do
have,
I
would
say,
a
very
robust
collection
agency,
especially
with
crime
analysis,
that
we
now
have
a
lot
more
staffing
in
there.
That
allows
us
to
focus
on
not
only
the
crimes
themselves
and
look
for
links
between
crimes
that
are
occurring,
but
people
that
are
doing
it.
L
R
R
I
I
have
a
lot
of
others,
but
I
can
probably
reach
out
to
the
to
you
individually,
if
I
have
any
that
haven't
been
answered
yet
or
that
I
need
further
clarification
on,
but
again
thank
you,
joe
and
your
team,
for
your
report
and
for
all
of
the
staff
that
were
involved
in
putting
this
together
and
for
the
residents
in
participating
in
the
in
the
survey.
So
I
look
forward
to
the
next
one
next
year.
Thank
you.
M
M
What
has
already
been
discussed-
and
that
is
I
I
want
to
appreciate-
I
want
to
thank,
I
can't
remember
who
the
first
person
was
that
talked
about
the
surveys
and
and
who
we
are,
whose
opinion
are
we
elevating
when
we
limit
the
survey
to
a
certain
type
of
resident
who's
going
to
respond
online?
And
I
think
that
you
know
this
is
an
item
that
I
think
from
my
first
year.
M
So
I'm
not
gonna
beat
a
dead
horse,
but
I
just
wanted
to
to
underline
that,
because
I
know
it's
something
that
I
had
discussed
previously.
So
I'm
going
to
move
into
the
economic
development,
the
workforce
development.
This
is
on
page
66
and
in
it
has
for
2019
to
20
the
san
jose
works
provided
900
youth
with
subsidizing
unsubsidized
employment
opportunities.
M
M
we
exceeded
the
state
goal
there.
My
question
is:
this:
did
those
job
seekers
these
youth
job
seekers
come
from
the
work
to
future,
in
which
programming
which
we
have
businesses
who
take
in
a
lot
of
our
youth
during
summer
month
and
and
in
exchange?
They
have
a
bit
of
a
opportunity
to
be
part
or
to
be
exposed
to
high-tech
job
employment
is,
is
this
most
of
these
are
most
of
these
youth
coming
from
that
subsidized
program
or
where
are
they
coming
from.
G
K
G
Recruitment
lab
version,
business
assistance
for
the
business
clients,
but
the
skill
upgrades
and
training
programs,
and
then
they
report
those
figures
to
the
state
and
that's
where
the
state
goals
are
built
in
those
agreements,
and
I
believe
this
sj
san
jose
works
is
a
different
job
initiative.
So
I
don't
know
if
those
are
the
same
cohort-
and
I
don't
know
if
nancy
or
someone
from
oed
can
help
clarify
that.
M
A
M
What
I'm
trying
to
figure
out
is
the
youth
on
the
next
slide,
that
has
that
outlines
the
program
results.
So
the
program
results
are
that
252
job
seekers
were
interested
or
or
applied,
and
76
of
those
actually
were
placed
in
a
in
a
job,
and
so
I'm
wondering
where
are
we
getting
the
best
results
from
which
of
those
programs
are
rendering
the
76
percent
job
placement?
So
is
that
from
san
jose
works?
I
mean?
Is
this
I
I
don't
know,
I
don't
know
where
it's
from
so.
G
Those
yeah
those
are
from
the
oh
sorry,
go
ahead,
joe.
So
my
understanding,
those
are
the
three
you
know
the
the
regular
programs
that
work
to
future
foundation
provides
through
its
grants
from
the
state.
It
comes
down
to
the
federal
government
and
it's
separate
from
san
jose
works,
which
is
another
program
that
they're
running
running
so
there's
they're,
two
different
cohorts.
My
understanding,
in
terms
of
which
one
is
is
working
better.
I
think
I
I
don't
know
if
I
have
a
good
answer
to
that.
I
don't
know
like
I
said.
A
B
A
M
So
with
that
mayor,
then
it
seems
like
I
understood
that
that
this
was
only
you
and
I'm
only
referring
to
the
to
the
youth
piece,
although
this
could
be
also
for
work
to
future.
But
I
was
only
referring
to
the
youth,
and
so
I
was
wondering
how
are
we
placing
these
youth?
Are
they
the
same
youth
that
participated
in
the
san
jose
works
program.
M
Great
and
here's
my
I'll
get
to
the
point,
I'm
I'm
I
was
hoping
to
well,
I
wouldn't
I
was
hoping
to
learn
about
what
what
kind
of
results
we're
producing
with
our
san
jose
works
program
and
one
of
the
one
of
the
issues
that
I
that
have
picked
up
from
this
particular
program,
and
I
had
not
that,
of
course
not
this
summer.
This
summer
last,
I
had
two
youth
in
my
office.
M
I
didn't
get
to
really
interact
with
them
very
just
very
lightly,
as
you
all
know
that
that's
our
our
off
time
and
for
me
it
was,
you
know
it
was
no
skin
off.
You
know
there
was
just
no
investment
on
our
end
to
further
their
interest
for
these,
for
the
the
youth,
if
we're
exposing
them
to
opportunities
in
our
local
government.
In
our
tech
companies,
in
whatever
field
it
is
but
they're,
obviously
some
some
companies
that
they
normally
wouldn't
have
access
to
or
would
or
would
land
a
internship
in.
M
But
it's
something
that
I
wanted
to.
We
haven't
had
an
opportunity
to
really
bring
it
back
to
to
council,
and
so
this
is
one
of
the
areas
that
that,
for
me,
I
want
to
make
sure
we
have
the
the
result
one.
We
have
programs
that
build
up
upon
each
other
and
don't
leave
our
youth
on
this
cliff
on
the
edge
of
a
cliff
like
wow.
This
is
they're
really
impressed
about
working
at
such
and
such
company.
How
can
I
get
there
when
you
know?
M
I
and
I
gotta
say
that
I
know
jill
has
been
working
on
making
sure
that
that
some
of
our
programming
involves
our
youth
provides.
You
know
five
thousand
dollars
towards
some
of
the
college
expenses,
but
you
know
this
is
this
is
for
some
of
the
but
we're
talking
about
two
different
sets
of
youth
right.
M
They
might
not
be
the
same,
and
so
I
want
us
to
figure
out
how
do
our
programs
interrelate
with
each
other?
How
do
we
build
and
and
and
inspire
a
path
for
our
youth
that
they
can
actually
see
that
they
can
get
there?
I
don't
know
that
we're
there
yet,
and
so
I
really
wanted
to
kind
of
take
that
that
piece
apart
I'll
I'll
wait
for
some
some
feedback.
Yeah.
M
M
M
So
I
don't
want
to
you
know
this
is
not
to
discredit
any
of
the
programming.
I
am
a
staunch
supporter
of
all
of
those
programs
and
absolutely
appreciate
them
and
will
continue
to
support
them.
I
just
want
to
see
the
relationship
between
the
resources
that
we
have
and
the
results
that
we're
providing
for
our
youth.
B
But
there
is
definitely
cross-pollination
between
the
programs.
So,
as
those
high
school
students
that
are
receiving
that
exposure
from
sj
works,
sort
of
moving
through
high
school
and
completing
their
their
high
school
journey,
then
we
do
encourage
them
to
the
extent
that
it's
available
to
then
connect
with
those
other
work
to
future
programs,
so
that
we
can
help
place
them
and
they
do
know.
You
know
we're
often
working
with
our
employers
to
look
for
those
opportunities.
So
we
can
ensure
that
that
experience
is
a
rewarding
one.
G
You
know
we
did
find
some
information
at
the
national
level
showing
that
the
the
impacts
were
greater
among
women
than
men.
I
don't
have
the
specifics
in
it
right
in
front
of
me,
but
the
initial
drop
in
the
or
the
the
rise
unemployment
rate
did
affect
women
more
than
men
at
the
national
level.
Between
looking
at
you
know,
february
and
april,
I
don't
have
numbers
I
apologize
and
then
it
did
kind
of
even
out
toward
the
end
of
the
year.
G
B
G
I
did
dig
up
the
numbers
really
quick,
so
overall
so
overall
in
at
the
national
level
february
2020.
This
is
information
from
the
bureau
of
labor
statistics.
The
the
overall
unemployment
rate
was
three
and
a
half
percent
3.5
percent
overall
and
for
men
it
was
3.5
and
it
was
slightly
lower
for
women
3.4.
M
Yeah-
and
I
would
say
that,
because
women
get
paid
less
they're,
probably
the
ones
who
have
to
quit
a
job
and
and
and
provide
some
of
that
child
care,
because
all
of
our
children
are
at
home
now
right.
So
I
I
want
us
to
make
sure
that
we
keep
in
mind
these
kinds
of
patterns,
especially
gender-based
patterns,
as
we
formulate
strategies.
I
don't,
but
I
I
know
that
that
we
all-
and
it's
not
exclusive-
to
ced
it's
exclusive
to
all
of
our
departments,
to
think
about.
M
How
are
our
women
getting
impacted
by
covid
differently
than
men,
and
how
are
we
gonna
have
some
strategies
that
target
women
so
that
we
can
elevate
them
or
get
them
back
into
the
workforce
if
that's
something
that
they
want.
How
do
we
support
those
folks
who
are
being
impacted
the
most-
and
this
is
based
just
on
gender,
of
course,
but
overall,
so
I'm
let
that
one
go,
but
I
I
I
do
want
to
have
so
I'll
follow
up
soon
enough
around
that
this.
M
The
second
thing
I
wanted
to
see
if
in
our
police
this
is
in
our
in
the
police
on
page
116
116
to
oh,
I
don't
know
what
the
pizzas
are,
but,
as
I
was
looking
through
at
one
one,
I
just
want
to
thank
our
our
police
department
for
the
work
that
they're
doing.
I
know
it's
a
very
difficult
time
and
one
to
to
be
targeted
during
civil
unrest
and
during
pandemic.
M
A
Before
you
respond
to
that
question,
I
just
want
to
do
a
time
check
we're
almost
at
six
o'clock,
and
I
know
we've
got
a
full
agenda.
So
I'd
like
to
take
a
dinner
break
here
for
a
half
hour,
at
least
to
be
able
to
give
everyone
a
chance
to
take
a
break
concerns.
Can
you
give
us
a
sense
about
where
you
might
be
likely
to
break
and
we
can
modulate
it.
M
M
I
L
The
the
staffing
portion
of
it
and
the
recruitment-
I
will
say
that,
certainly
we've
been
hampered
with
recruitment,
certainly
with
the
pandemic,
our
recruiters
have
not
been
able
to
go
and
travel
far
and
wide
like
they
did
so.
Certainly
from
that
standpoint,
I
think
we
are
a
little
labored
as
far
as
what
our
recruiting
efforts
are
as
it
stands
right
now
I
mean
we
do
have
another
academy
class
coming
up.
The
numbers
are
in
line
with
where
we
have
been
in
previous
years.
L
We
certainly
know-
and
we
talked
to
our
recruits
and
we
have
had
some
recruits
drop
out
of
the
program
based
on
either
pure
perception
or
from
you
know
what
they're,
seeing
with
the
civil
unrest
and
deciding
that's.
This
is
not
the
job
for
them,
and
some
of
them
have
even
come
to.
You
know,
come
and
got
an
fto
and
decided
it's
not
the
job
for
them.
So
we've
certainly
seen
that
portion
of
it
academy
wise.
You
know
we
went
because
of
the
pandemic.
We
had
to
slow
down
our
academy
classes,
we
had
overlapping
classes.
L
We
stopped
that
and
I
just
went
down
to
two
academies
a
year.
We're
now
back
to
three
with
a
little
bit
of
overlap
just
from
the
great
work
they're
doing
out
there.
So
I
would
say
we
are
impacted
a
little
but
we're
we're
working
through
it
and
a
lot
of
the
things
that
we're
doing
is
you
know
more
online
based
versus
face-to-face.
M
Okay,
all
right,
the
the
the
next
thing
I
just
wanted
to
ask
was:
I
know
this
is
all
all
of
the
police
responses
were
very
helpful
to
see
where
we
fall
in
line
on
a
national
level
or
even
just
a
local
level,
to
see
what
how
we,
how
how
we
are
responding.
One
of
the
things
that
I'd
like
to
for
us
to
break
down
is,
in
the
I
think,
there's
a
major,
violent
or
violent
crimes.
I
I
would
like
to
see
us
have.
M
I
know
that
we
have
rapes
in
in
here,
and
this
is,
I
know
that
we
would
typically
have
a
better
statistics
around
rape,
because
we
we
are
reporting
this
information
on
a
federal
to
the
federal
government.
But
this
is
not
comprehensive.
It
doesn't
show
all
the
sexual
assaults,
so
you
don't
necessarily
have
to
be
raped
to
to
be
a
victim
of
sexual
assaults,
and
so
I'd
like
to
in
future
reports,
have
a
more
comprehensive
number
around
sexual
assaults,
and
rape
is
just
one
indication
of
that.
L
If
I
can
just
comment
on
that,
and
thank
you
for
the
question
on
it,
so
in
regards
to
the
auditor
reports,
you
know
that'll
be
up
to,
I
think,
mr
rios
to
describe
on
that.
But,
as
you
know,
we
have
an
upcoming
meetings,
both
with
pisviz
and
upcoming
weeks
and
also
with
the
full
council.
We
have
the
report
coming
up
which
details
sexual
assault
specifically
and
the
breakdowns
as
far
as
the
cases
numbers
and
all
the
stats
when
it
comes
to
that,
you
should
be
seeing
that
in
the
upcoming
weeks.
M
Thank
you
chief,
and
actually
that's
a
lot
of
advocacy
on
behalf
of
councilmember
carrasco
and
myself,
who
have
sat
in
pistes
and
and
asked
for
those
numbers
to
come
up
and
to,
and
we
keep
track
of
them.
But
I'd
like
for
the
report
to
also
have
a
better
picture
of
sexual
assaults
and
not
exclusive
to
to
rape.
So
is
that
something
that
joe,
that
you
could
yeah.
G
M
A
Thank
you
just
I'll
offer
just
a
couple
quick
observations,
because
I
know
time
is
very
scarce.
First,
I
just
wanted
to
say
in
addition
to
all
the
work.
Of
course
we
have
ahead.
I
think
there's
a
lot
of
good
news
in
this
report
and
I
want
to
commend
everybody
for
pulling
together
in
a
very
tough
time.
This
pandemic.
A
A
We
look
on
the
facing
page
on
page
44,
the
percent
of
information
technology
project
successes
by
scheduled
cost
scope
and
value
again.
Another
real
chronic
pain
point.
It's
now
86
percent.
I
think
that
is
a
huge
improvement
and
I
I
I'm
grateful
to
see
those
kinds
of
numbers,
and
then
you
know
one
department
that
doesn't
get
a
lot
of
positive
notice
just
by
the
nature
of
the
work.
A
It's
just
you
know,
often
in
not
in
in
the
in
the
front
office,
so
to
speak,
and
as
the
city
attorney's
office
look
at
litigation
collections
over
the
last
couple
years.
They
actually
greatly
exceed
the
amount
of
liability
payments.
That
means
yes,
our
attorneys
are
actually
earning
money
for
our
taxpayers
in
a
really
positive
way
and
obviously
they're
not
responsible
for
liability
either,
but
they're
they're
working
hard
to
minimize
it.
So
anyway,
there's
a
lot
of
good
work
being
done,
and
I
want
to
recognize
and
thank
everybody
in
the
city
team.
A
The
specific
concerns
I
had,
if
you
look
at
pages
28
and
29
and
year-to-year
comparisons
and
graphs
are
being
used
when,
in
the
middle
of
those
years
there
are
changes,
we're
including
opec,
we're
including
pension
debt
that
we
didn't
include
before
and
so
as
a
result,
you
get
a
slope
on
a
line
that
doesn't
reflect
what's
happening.
It
reflects
the
fact
that
we
we're
no
longer
comparing
apples
to
apples
and-
and
I
I
think
also
in
the
city-
comparisons,
25,
26
27-
those
pages-
I
think,
there's
a
lot
of
question.
A
I
think
it's,
the
largest
utility
in
the
country,
if
not
mistaken,
these
numbers
can
get
so
distorted
based
on
the
varieties
within
the
city,
so
I'm
hoping
we
could
just
have
an
offline
conversation
about
having
those
apples,
apples,
comparisons,
so
that
the
data
we
get
from
this
is
stuff
that
we
can
is
really
meaningful
to
us
great.
Thank
you
all
right.
Unless
there
are
any
other
questions,
I
think
we
need
a
motion
to
accept
the
report.
I'll.
