This
month,
48
years
ago
marks

and
together

critical
Services
across
our

They

support
Community

Facilities,
as
well
as
the
very
building

currently
stand
in
City
Hall
and
as
evidence
of
their
scope

Public

of
pets
and
wild
animals.
Today
is
an
opportunity
to
celebrate
all
the
work.
I

quality
service,
unwavering
commitment
and
remarkable
scope
of
what
they
accomplish
every
single
day
to
serve
our
city
and
our
community.
Thank
you
all
again
for
being
here
to
celebrate
this
department.
Now
I
would
like
to
ask
my
colleague,
council
member
Candelas,
to
say
a
few
words.
J
Thank
you
vice
mayor
Publix,
Works
weeks,
Public
Works
week
is
a
time
to
recognize
the
con.
The
contributions
of
Public
Works
professionals
who
work
tirelessly
to
maintain
our
community's
infrastructure,
natural
resources
and
Public
Services
Public
Works
professionals
play
a
vital
role
in
ensuring
that
our
communities
have
safe
and
reliable
Bridges,
Water,
Systems,
Waste,
Management
facilities
and
other
essential
infrastructure.
Like
our
animal
shelters.
Their
work
often
goes
unnoticed,
which
is
a
good
thing.
However,
their
efforts
are
critical
to
our
daily
lives.
They
keep
our
community
safe
and
healthy
and
functioning
smoothly.
J
They
often
work
long
hours
and
difficult
conditions
to
ensure
that
our
communities
are
safe
and
well
maintained.
They
are
dedicated
to
serving
the
public
and
improving
the
quality
of
life
for
all.
Public
Works
weeks
is
an
opportunity
to
thank
these
essential
workers
for
their
hard
work
and
dedication
to
our
communities.
It
is
our
pleasure
to
recognize
their
contributions
and
show
our
appreciation
for
all
that
they
do.
This
year
marks
the
63rd
annual
National
Public
Works
week
with
that,
I
would
like
to
welcome
acting
director
of
Public
Works,
Matt
losch,
to
say
a
few
words.
K
Thank
you.
Vice
mayor
committee,
councilmember
canelis
I
am
acting
director
of
Public
Works.
What
a
lucky
guy
I
am
to
support
this
team.
Public
Works
is
a
fun
department
and
we
are
joined
today
with
some
of
our
colleagues
from
Dot
and
ESD
because
of
our
shared
Public
Work
Capital
responsibilities
in
San
Jose.
We
are
here
to
celebrate
them
all.
If
things
go
right,
Scots
noted,
Public,
Works
services
are
usually
in
the
background
and
that's
okay
by
us.
I
wanted
to
share
some
of
our
services.
K
K
We
have
a
mail
room
with
mailing
machines.
We
have
a
certified
materials,
testing
lab
and
we've
marked
over
80
000
Utilities.
In
the
last
year
we
are
known
for
getting
things
done
and
doing
things
right,
I'm
really
proud
of
our
team
and
our
efforts
to
connect
our
world
here
in
San
Jose.
So
thank
you
very
much.

Migrated
here
over
the
years
have
become
lawyers,
business
owners,
artists,
dancers
musicians
and
more.
The
younger
Generations
today
are
heavily
involved
in
science
technology,
contributing
to
The
Innovation
here
in
the
capital
of
Silicon
Valley.
Like
all
other
communities
joining
me
today
to
accept
the
proclamation

golden
Mama

L

Thank
you
on
behalf
of
the
Azerbaijan
house
community
stand
before
you
today,
with
the
heart
filled
with
gratitude
and
immense
Pride,
we
would
like
to
express
our
deepest
appreciation
to
council
member
Arjun,
batra
and
San
Jose
Mayer
met
Mahan
for
their
unwavering
support
and
for
gracing
for
us,
with
a
remarkable
Proclamation
marking
the
Independence
Day
of
Azerbaijan.
It's
a
true
honor
for
us,
the
azerbaijani
community
to
receive
this
estimate
recognition.
This
Proclamation
holds
significant
meanings
as
it
symbolizes
the
encouragement
and
celebration
of
the
independence
and
sovereignty
of
Azerbaijan.
N

C
O
C
E
P
Yes,
Paul
Soto
from
the
Horseshoe.
What
are
you
afraid
of
what
are
you
afraid
of
you're
afraid
of?
What's
going
to
come
out
in
this
conversation,
because
it's
getting
closer
and
closer
to
you
being
discovered
and
you're
going
to
have
to
start
acknowledging
to
some
people,
because
this
Council
answers
to
some
people
and
so
does
the
cardo
he
answers
to
me.
We
don't
we
don't
we
don't
sit
here
and
stay
beholding.
P
If
the
council
we
need
a,
we
need
a
lawyer
to
put
a
check
on
the
City
attorney,
because
the
City
attorney
was
never
is
doesn't
function
in
a
democracy
to
protect
criminals
like
Sam
locardo
or
the
others
that
participated
with
him
in
city
government.
What
the
city's
attorney
job
is
to
do
is
to
protect
the
citizens,
not
this
organization
from
being
held
to
account
for
the
laws
that
it
breaks,
and
this
is
a
felony.
What
happened?
P
P
Q
E
A
Q
A
schedule
and
planning
and
a
structure
for
orders
of
the
day
and
and
in
closed
session
reporting
and
the
city
managers
reporting
to
be
at
one
minute
of
public
comment
and
to
allow
that
each
week
is
clear
direction
for
all
of
us
to
understand
the
rules
of
the
road
of
the
public
meeting
process.
As
Paul
said,
the
brown
act
requires.
Q
Understood
all
right,
I'm
talking
about
more
broad
issues
of
orders
of
the
day,
processing
and
you're,
offering
that
today.
So
thank
you
for
doing
that.
Just
a
reminder
of
what
the
purpose
of
orders
of
the
day
in
the
public
meeting
process
can
be
about
in
our
future.
I
hope
we
can
work
on
this
issue.
Thank.

His
steadfast
commitment
to
advancing
the
values
of
opportunity,
equity
and
social
justice
made
the
district
and
the
wider
Community
a
better
place
for
all
to
live,
learn
and
work.
His
impact
extended
Beyond
his
roles
within
the
district.
He
selflessly
served
on
numerous
boards
committees
and
organizations.
J
Jorge's
contributions
to
key
committees,
councils
task
force,
programs
and
initiatives
are
too
numerous
to
list
comprehensively
from
spearheading
the
launch
and
oversight
of
the
San
Jose
Evergreen
Community
College
District
Milpitas
extension
site,
which
expanded
the
education,
Educational,
Services
and
availability
to
East.
San
Jose
bring
opportunities
to
a
previously
underserved
Community
to
his
leadership
during
the
covid-19
pandemic,
which
ensured
continuity
of
Education,
while
safeguarding
the
well-being
of
students
and
employees
Beyond
his
professional
achievements,
Jorge
escar
will
be
remembered
for
his
kindness,
generosity
and
infectious
sense
of
humor.
J
Although
we
bid
farewell
to
a
remarkable
leader,
letters
reflect
on
the
legacy
of
Jorge
Escobar
his
dedication
compassion,
an
unwavering
commitment
to
creating
a
more
Equitable
and
inclusive
Society
will
continue
to
inspire
us
all.
We
extend
our
deepest
gratitude
and
sympathy
for
his
wife,
Veronica
and
two
children,
Andrea
and
Diego.
We
vowed
to
honor
his
memory
by
carrying
his
vision
forward.
Thank
you.
I
Yeah
and
I
apologize
if
I
missed
it,
but
you
know
I,
think
August
sort
of
triggers
because
there
are
time
frames
in
which,
for
the
next
election
right,
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
there's
no
consequences
by
delaying
this,
where
things
would
change,
you
know,
because
there's
an
election
an
earlier
election
in
March
of
next
year
and
I
was
going
to
ask
this
City
attorney.
If,
if
you
know
the
consequence
of
of
deferring
it
to
August.
I
L
R
C
E
D
Q
That's
okay!
Thank
you
for
for
offering
yeah
the
mute
was
a
little
late
in
arriving
it's
here
now
or
the
unmute
High
Roy
Beekman
here
to
comment
on
item
2.18,
which
is
a
dumpster
day.
Retroactive
dumpster
day
issues
I
just
wanted
to
I've
been
trying
to
comment
on
it
recently.
I
haven't
had
so
much
luck
as
of
late,
but
you
know
to
me
the
dumpster
day.
Q
I've
talked
about
it
with
people
in
other
cities
like
Oakland
and
who
are
really
impressed
by
it
and
and
then
being
from
San
Diego.
Now
it's
the
same
thing
they
really
like
I've,
been
trying
to
say
they
want
to
work
on
communication
skills
with
their
unhoused
and
they're.
Looking
to
San
Jose.
For
these
sort
of
examples
that
a
dumpster
Day
celebration
on
a
Saturday
does
a
really
interesting
thing
for
a
local
neighborhood.
Q
So
thanks
a
lot
for
it's
its
use
and
purpose
and
and
its
efforts
to
create
good
dialogue
and
Trust,
all
the
things
we're
trying
to
better
understand
and
need
to
understand
at
this
time
in
San,
Jose.
Good
luck,
how
these
good
practices
can
spread
to
other
parts
of
the
state
and
thanks
as
always,
to
the
work
of
Paul
Pereira,
who
I
don't
think
is
enough
enough.
He
does
not
get
enough
credit
in
this
word
in
this.
P
So
with
that
in
mind,
I
think
that
there
should
be
a
bond
measure
and
actually
a
tax
increase
because
of
the
facilitation
of
the
of
their
businesses
through
city
government
and
using
my
tax
dollars
to
do
it
through
tax
breaks
and
tax
credits
that
they
actually
oh
and
they
need
to
start
adding
to
our
coffers.
Not
subtracting
from
them.
So
I
oppose
this
and
it
needs
to
be
actually
a
tax
increase.
C
S
Good
afternoon,
council
members,
this
is
Alex
Shore
executive
director
of
catalyze
SV
hope
you
saw
our
correspondence
come
in
on
Friday
about
this
project
from
Danko
communities
just
wanted
to
thank
the
city
and
the
housing
department,
and
now
you,
the
council,
for
hopefully
your
vote
today,
to
continue
to
move
this
project
forward
by
investing
in
affordable
housing
in
our
community.
It's
great
to
see
this
project
go
forward.
S
D
T
Good
afternoon
ma'am
Mayhem,
council
members
and
staff,
my
name
is
Matthew
Tinsley
I'm,
director
of
the
strong
start
initiative
at
the
Santa
Clara
County
Office
of
Education
on
behalf
of
the
county
superintendent
of
schools.
Excuse
me
Dr,
Marianne
Dewan.
We
wish
to
State
our
support
for
including
an
on-site
Child
Care
Facility
in
this
project.
Child
Care
is
one
of
the
most
requested
resident
services
and
supports
a
family's
Workforce
participation
as
well
as
children's
social,
emotional,
physical
and
academic
development.
T
T
U
Good
afternoon
fellow
City,
Council
Members,
my
name
is
hi
martial
and
I'm,
a
labor
compliance
investigator
for
the
NorCal
Carpenters
I'm.
Here
today
to
speak
about
misclassification
of
workers
on
Public
Works
jobs.
It's
an
easy
way
to
cheat
taxpayers
out
of
their
money
by
misclassifying
the
workers.
So
one
way
to
a
misclassified
worker
is
a
carpenter
wages
set
by
the
state
on
public
work.
Jobs
is
57
10
an
hour
and
the
laborers
is
35.25
an
hour.
U
U
So
that's
one
way
that
contractors
make
money
on
Public,
Works
job
by
cheating.
There's
compliance
cities
have
compliance.
We
do
compliance!
There's
too
much,
though
we
can't
be
on
every
job.
At
every
moment
you
go
to
these
jobs
and
they'll
tell
you
yeah.
We
got
our
own
compliance
officers
yeah
you
do
but
they're
sitting
behind
a
computer
somewhere
in
the
middle
of
nowhere
and
the
contractors
are
forwarding
the
information
to
them.
All
they
do
is
submit
the
data,
so
the
real
compliance
is
not
really
happening.
On
Public
Public,
Works
jobs,
there's
cheating
going
on.
U
We
have
proof.
We
have
evidence
and
there's
cases
against
them
already
different
contractors
like
I'm
not
going
to
state
names,
I'm
not
gonna,
get
into
that
right
now,
but
my
email
is,
you
have
my
email.
If
ever
you
guys
want
to
walk
a
public
works
job
with
me
in
the
city
of
San,
Jose
I'm,
more
than
willing
to
walk
with
you,
so
you
can
see
the
conditions
and
what's
going
on.
Thank
you.
C
M
Okay,
good
afternoon,
mayor
council
member,
my
name
is
Kenneth
doe
I'm,
a
field
rep
for
the
Carpenters
405.
Here
in
San
Jose,
we
represent
about
6
000
members
in
Santa,
Clara,
County
and
38
000
in
Northern,
California
I'm,
also
a
proud
member
of
District
Six,
I'm,
very
active
in
the
community
and
our
church
and
I'm
encouraged
by
the
idea
of
bringing
more
development
like
this
to
our
community
because
face
it.
We
need
more
homes
than
ever,
but
a
project
of
this
size
and
scope
should
have
Labor
Standard
of
place.
M
I
applied
for
the
secured
measure
of
finance
a
or
measure
a.
So
this
is
a
prevailing
wage
job
Public
Works
job.
So
this
is
set
on
our
salary.
Why
not
use
this?
You
know
the
Carpenters,
the
Mastercraft
I,
don't
understand
that
developing
and
contractors
routinely
import
out
of
the
air
or
out
of
State
Workforce.
This
perpetrius
cycle
undercuts
the
wage
of
local
workers
and
exploits
workers
recruited
from
afar
and
allowed
for
the
continued
under
investment
in
the
much
deeded
apprenticeship
program
that
would
benefit
the
community.
M
M
Their
tax
dollars
would
help
fund
Local,
Schools
and
Government.
A
Labor
Standard
would
help
with
local
hire,
which
will
be
great
for
the
community.
I
heard
another
speaker
plotting
about
what
Danko
is
doing
about
how
this
is
helping
the
community
and
it's
nothing
but
the
truth.
You
know,
developer
and
contractors
should
be
held
to
do
the
right
thing
and
pay
error
standard.
With
your
leadership,
we
could
send
message
to
all
developers
and
contractors
of
San
Jose
by
adopting
Labor
Standard
language.
P
Yes,
Paul
Soto
from
the
Horseshoe.
Thank
you
for
the
comments
that
have
just
recently
happened.
There's
a
lot
of
this
corruption.
That's
been
going
on
in
the
city
and
there's
a
legal
there's,
a
historical
precedent
for
it.
It
happened
around
the
Center
for
Performing
Arts
when
the
model
City's
money
started
coming
in
and
they
weren't
hiring
no
Chicanos
at
all.
None
zero.
P
P
P
That's
60
percent
of
the
workforce
there
on
any
kind
of
prevailing
wage
contract
that
we
have
local
people.
Local.
You
show
your
ID.
It
shows
that
you're
connected
to
son
home
you're
higher,
because
that
money
needs
to
stay
here
because
you're
using
these
systems
in
order
to
corrupt
the
very
system
and
it's
Blair.
Q
Q
It
makes
my
own
public
comment
feel
like
kind
of
a
bit
shallow
and
insipid
in
comparison,
but
yet
onward
I
will
Chris
persevere
and
try
to
offer
my
own
small
ideas
to
help
a
real
larger
process,
we're
all
trying
to
understand
and
work
towards
together.
It's
my
feeling
with
this
West
San
Carlos
project
that
West
San
Carlos,
is
a
really
interesting
area
around
ideas
of
how
we
can
understand
the
future
of
mixed
income
housing,
and
this
project
seems
like
it
lends
itself
to
those
kind
of
concepts
for
our
future.
Q
A
real
good
luck
in
in
how
mixed
income
can
fit
in
well
to
West,
San
Carlos
projects
and
how
we'll
be
planning
mixed
income
ideas
in
our
future.
That
is
coming
up
soon
that
we
have
to
really
be
working
on
these
ideas
in
the
future.
Mixed
income
is,
you
know
where
people
of
low
income
and
high
income
can
live
together
more
harmoniously,
and
it's
a
better
understanding
that
that
means
cooperation
from
ourselves.
That
means
understanding
and
I
think
it's
an
interesting
future.
Q
D
E
V
Was
in
favor
of
affordable
housing
in
San,
Jose
and
multi-family
is
definitely
the
way
it
goes
like.
I've
always
lived
on
my
own
until
I
moved
into
an
apartment,
and
it's
actually
a
rather
nice
way
to
live
actually
depending
on
the
neighbors,
but
we'll
have
great
neighbors
and
the
reason
I'm
adding
that.
But
there's
been
several
indications
that
there
some
might
be
some
stuff,
that's
below
board
and
I.
Think
a
lot
of
that
just
gets
Blown
Away
and
as
Citizens
we
shouldn't
have
a
right
to
say
something.
V
I
personally,
don't
believe
anything
we
say
makes
any
difference
at
all,
and
maybe
that
was
probably
just
me
or
partially
me
thinking
that
way,
but
it
it
makes
it
hard
to
have
these
discussions
when
you
feel
like
any
emails,
any
letters,
any
phone
calls
any
public
comment.
It
it
futile
at
best
to
try
to
bring
some
of
this
stuff
forward
and
we
would
like
a
way
to
communicate
where
we
actually
are
heard,
and
that
would
be
really
helpful.
Thank
you.
I
Thank
you,
I
do
support
this
project
and
I
am
going
to
be
in
favor
of
the
motion.
The
one
thing
that
I
think
concerns
me
is
what
was
brought
up
by
the
Carpenters.
If,
in
fact,
these
things
are
are
happening
and
I
just
you
know
as
strongly
as
I
feel
about
wage
theft
and
I
know
we've.
This
Council
has
supported
you,
know,
sort
of
the
wage
theft
policy
I
see
that
as
as
a
potential
wage
theft,
if
you're
not
being
compensated
appropriately.
I
So
I
just
feel
that
we
need
to
really
take
a
look
at
this
and
ensure
that
wage
theft
is
not
happening,
because
that's
what
I
feel
that
it
is
happening
if
it
in
fact,
is
being
diverted
because
of
a
different
classification.
So,
as
you
know,
the
city
manager
takes
a
look
at
this.
That's
something
that
I'm
hoping
that
we
also
take
into
consideration.
I
K
L
L
I
asked
specifically
that
each
one
of
these
projects
when
comes
up
here,
we
need
a
context
to
the
overall
work
we
are
doing
towards
affordable
homes
and
I
requested
that
we
get
an
attachment
to
every
one
of
these
projects
showing
the
total
scope
of
the
nofa
the
amount
of
projects
we
have
committed,
the
amount
of
money
we
accommodate
how
many
rooms
and
houses
we're
getting
so
I'm
happy
to
acknowledge
that
that
request
has
been
totally
fulfilled.
This
supplemental
memo
gives
exactly
the
details
we
were
looking
for
and
on
one
piece
of
paper.
L
We
can
see
that
our
nofa
has
funded
692
units.
We
are
going
to
get
the
total
amount
of
money
we
have
committed
to
it
and
the
status
of
those
projects.
So
so
we
are
for
a
public
and
for
us
it's
a
very
informative
piece
of
work,
and
we
requested
it
last
week
and
as
of
today,
we
have
that
on
our
hand,
thanks
to
the
housing
department,
for
doing
this
excellent
work
and
giving
us
the
information
we
need
to
make
these
decisions
on.
L
C
You
thanks
council
member
I
did
want
to
just
ask
if
I
don't
know.
If
we
have
anyone
in
the
room
who
can
speak
to
this,
maybe
Reagan
I
was
doing
the
quick
math.
It
doesn't
appear
to
me
that
the
cost
per
room
is
accurate,
at
least
on
the
all-in
cost
and
I
was
curious.
If
we're
only
counting
certain
dollars.
There.
X
A
W
So
I
think
it'd
be
probably
good
in
the
future
and
we're
going
to
attach
these
and
thank
you
for
acknowledging
that
council
member,
that
they,
the
staff,
got
the
supplemental
ad.
It
would
be
great
to
put
a
footnote
on
that,
just
because
I
think
it's
probably
not
intuitive
to
the
to
the
reader
and
I
and
I
really
appreciate
staff.
Getting
this
out
and
within
the
time
frame
for
this
meeting,
yeah
or
or
a.
C
F
Worries
your
question
again
so,
essentially,
the
city
has
a
wage
theft,
ordinance
right,
which
essentially
disqualifies
contractors
or
who've.
You
know
done
Weight
theft.
Issues.
Violations
in
the
past
does
that
waste
of
ordinance
extend
to
projects
around
affordable
housing
that
the
city
may
be
giving
money
to
and
who
they're
doing
business
with
that's.
K
A
great
question
so
again
acting
Public
Works
director,
the
the
way
I
understand.
This
is
not
to
procure
a
particular
contractor
which
our
wage
staff
policy
is
about
procuring
services
and
that's
that
our
policy
is
what
Gates
getting
contractors
in
or
dealing
with
contractors
when
they
are
City
contractors
in
our
projects.
I'm
going
to
verify
this
for
sure
and
get
back
to
you
so.
K
I'll
be
I'll
be
abundantly
clear
when
I
return,
because
I
just
don't
know
for
certain
I
wouldn't
want
to
misspeak
I
would
believe
so.
Our
wage
theft
policy
is
a
gating
function
of
bringing
when
we
bring
contractors
in
to
do
our
work
or
when
they
are
contractors
on
our
public
projects
now
or
public
services
and
and
procurements
I'm
going
to
verify
with
this,
because
this
is
unique
to
me.
I'll
get
back
to
you.
F
Okay,
I
I
appreciate
that,
because
that
I
think
public
dollars
is
extremely.
You
know
how
public
dollars
are
extremely
important.
How
they're,
used
and
I
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
not
you
know
essentially
funneling
dollars
to
any
companies
that
are,
you
know,
doing
human
right
violations
or
wage
violations
or
anything
like.
F
It's
just!
You
know
really
important
to
me
that
we
look
into
this
and
hope
I
guess
we
could
have
future
conversations
on
how
to
make
sure
that
situations
like
this
with
us,
giving
money
to
a
specific
developer,
to
a
specific
project,
making
sure
that
those
dollars
aren't
being
shifted
towards
an
organization
that
could
be
using
the
dollars
in
the
wrong
way.
Thank
you.
F
I
understand
the
difference
of
how
it
would
be
if
we
were
procuring
with
the
specific
agency,
but
I
think
people
could
still
you
know,
track
it
back
to
the
city.
If
there's
problems
on
the
work
side,
if
there's
issues
with
how
the
work,
the
the
organizations
paying
workers
or
you
know,
violating
any
sort
of
laws,
we're
still
on
the
hook
of
funding
that
project
and
people
are
going
to
say,
look,
this
is
what
the
city
is
doing
with
your
tax
dollars,
so
I
just
want
to
make
sure
we're
extremely
mindful
of
that.
Thank
you.
Y
C
K
F
Right
I
think
my
my
initial
question
was,
since
we
have
a
wage
theft
ordinance
here
at
the
city
of
San
Jose.
Does
that
also
apply
to
projects
that
aren't
necessarily
being
oversighted
by
the
centers
like
it's
not
us
doing
the
procurement,
but
us
funding
the
project
through
affordable
housing
dollars?
Does
that
wage
theft
ordinance
still
apply
to
contractors
outside
contractors
who
may
not
be
doing
business
with
the
city
but
are
doing
business
with
City
money.
Z
F
Is
there
any
sort
of
influence
or
authority
or
Insight
that
we
get
into
these
projects
outside
of
just
prevailing
wage?
As
you
know,
if
there
are
issues
in
the
workplace,
people
are
going
to
say.
This
is
a
city
funded
project.
There
could
be
some
liability,
so
I'm
just
trying
to
understand.
Where
does
the
line
end
for
our
our
sort
of
Insider
Authority.
Z
That's
a
very
good
question:
councilmember
I'd
have
to
do
a
little
bit
more
of
a
research
and
background,
but
I
would
be
able
to
say
our
staff
Public
Works
office
of
equality.
Assurance
staff
will
ensure
that
wages
are
paid
appropriately
on
this
specific
project.
If
historically
a
company
somebody
were
to
bring
a
judgment
to
us.
That's
something
I
still
have
to
research
the
wage
that
policy
is
rather
new
to
us,
but
I
can
follow
up
offline
with
you,
but.
AA
Good
afternoon,
mayor
council,
members
and
members
of
the
public,
my
name
is
Sarah
sarate
I
am
the
director
of
the
office
of
administration
policy
and
intergovernmental
relations
joined
by
Rosa
song,
tatari
Chief,
Deputy,
City
attorney
and
Edwin
huertas.
The
open
government
manager
today
we're
here
to
discuss
recommendations
made
by
former
mayor
Sam
licardo
as
part
of
the
bi-annual
ethics
review.
AA
Mayor
licardo
submitted
his
review
at
the
end
of
his
term
and
his
recommendations
can
be
categorized
into
two
buckets
Pras
and
the
brown
Act
regarding
Pras.
Three
recommendations
were
made
to
better
facilitate
pra
processing
in
a
matter
that
one
addresses
the
growing
number
of
Pras
two
that
identifies
voluntary
protocols
that
requesters
could
employ
to
reduce
burden
on
staff
and
ensure
a
more
expedient
and
efficient
process
and
three
which
explore
amendments
to
City
policies
to
address
increasing
number
of
digital
records.
AA
There
was
also
a
recommendation
to
explore
State
action
to
curtail
abuse
of
well-intentioned
pra
requirements.
Regarding
the
brown
act,
the
city
attorney's
office
was
directed
to
clarify
the
city's
interpretation
of
the
law
and
now
I'll
hand
it
over
to
Edwin
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
our
recommendations
and
actions
that
we've
taken.
AB
Good
afternoon,
thanks
good
afternoon
everyone,
my
name
is
Edward
nuertas,
open
government
manager
for
the
city
of
San
Jose.
Regarding
mayor
licardo's,
first
recommendation
City
staff
were
already
implementing
a
three-pronged
approach
to
modernize
the
city's
pra
process
and
to
integrate
a
technology
solution
through
an
RFP
process.
AB
Gov
QA
was
awarded
a
contract
in
late
2021
and
the
system
went
live
in
October
I'm,
sorry,
August
2022.,
while
the
platform
does
not
reduce
the
volume
of
Pras
or
staff,
time
related
to
the
production
or
redaction
of
Records,
it
does
make
for
the
overall
coordination
of
Piers
much
more
efficient
since
going
live.
We
continue
to
encourage
feedback
which
we
use
to
ensure
continuous
improvements.
AB
Continuous
improvements,
including
that
requests,
are
routed
to
the
best
point
of
departmental
entry
to
assess
requests
that
are
going
to
the
correct
records
holders
and
to
designate
our
answers
and
to
design
communication
templates
for
gov
QA
we're
also
using
this
implementation
and
learning
period
to
inform
any
necessary
updates
to
City
policy,
for
example.
If
anything
is
outdated,
but
no
policy
changes
have
been
made.
AB
AB
This
slide
right
here
is
meant
to
provide
a
simplified
overview
of
what's
Happening
as
we
process
Pras.
Well,
we
encourage
that
requests
go
through
gov
QA.
We
still
handle
requests
that
come
in
via
email
phone
call,
letters
Etc,
which
staff
enter
into
our
system
for
tracking
purposes
depending
on
the
pra
language.
The
request
can
go
in
three
different
directions.
AB
AB
AB
AA
Thank
you
Edwin.
This
was
his
first
presentation
I'll
take
over
from
here.
In
addition
to
the
voluntary
protocols
that
the
mayor,
the
mayor,
also
recommended
considering
legislative
advocacy
in
concert
with
other
stakeholder
groups
to
enable
mechanisms
that
could
curtail
abuse
of
well-intentioned
pra
requirements.
As
noted
in
the
memo
advocating
for
changes
to
the
California
public
records,
Act
is
not
currently
included
in
the
city
council
adopted
legislative
priorities
that
guide
the
igr
team's
core
advocacy
work.
The
city
council
could
take
action
to
make
this
a
legislative
priority
for
the
next
legislative
session.
AA
AA
Lastly,
with
regard
to
the
third
recommendation,
my
team
is
currently
working
to
address
audit
recommendations
that
intersect
with
electronic
records
by
taking
a
systematic
approach
to
understanding
the
types
of
electronic
records,
different
departments
oversea
and
maintain.
We
hope
to
complete
this
work
in
2023.
I'll.
Now
turn
it
over
to
Rosa
to
speak
to
the
brown
act
recommendation
as
well
as
the
recommended
ordinance
amendment
to
clarify
the
appeal
process
for
Pras.
AC
Sure
Rosa
santotari
with
the
city
attorney's
office
as
part
of
the
brown
act
clarification
on
the
law.
We
intend
to
provide
some
advice
following
this
meeting
with
respect
to
the
clarification
request.
As
for
the
proposed
ordinance,
while
it's
not
strictly
part
of
the
biennial
ethics
review,
it
was
a
referral
from
the
rules
committee.
AC
Since
the
attorney-client
privilege
is
held
by
Council,
it
did
not
make
sense
that
these
types
of
Records
would
not
go
straight
to
council,
and
so
the
proposed
ordinance
would
allow
for
an
appeal
for
these
types
of
Records
to
come
straight
to
council.
The
secondary
issue
that
the
proposed
ordinance
would
deal
with
is
a
referral
from
the
board.
AC
After
that
process,
they
believed
that
the
public
records
act
appeal
was
not
an
appropriate
subject
for
them,
since
their
expertise
really
surrounds
election
matters,
so
they
requested
that
they
be
removed
as
a
body
for
appeal,
and
so
the
proposed
ordinance
would
also
do
that
happy
to
answer
any
questions.
I'm
gonna.
C
Q
Hi,
hopefully
Paul's
voice,
Paul
can
come
back
for
myself.
This
to
me
is
a
fairly
contentious
issue.
I
hope
there
can
be
more
public
comment.
Besides
myself
on
this
issue
today,
I
know
a
lot
of
people
have
been
working
on
this
issue.
A
lot
I'm
still
a
step
one
when
you
guys
are
already
at
step
five
or
step
12..
So
not
a
lot.
Q
Q
There
are
things
that
can
be
changed,
updated
and
improved,
and
when
those
people
start
doing
that,
it's
just
it
gets
into
a
fussy,
musty
mess
and
good
luck
that
you
are
working
it
out
and
understanding,
wow,
I,
guess
good
new
systems
for
ourselves
that
are
better,
updated
and
coordinated,
but
I.
It's
just
there's
that
feeling
of
the
mayor
former
mayor
is
wants
to
get
even
with
people
basically,
and
it
hurts
and
I
think
we
already
have
some
pretty
good
standards
with
these
pra
things.
Q
O
O
O
You
know
how
we
apply
the
brown
ACT
versus
you
know
what
the
spirit
of
the
brown
Act
is
I.
Think
there's
some
just
you
know
there
I
think
we're
extra
cautious,
which
I
know
we
do
for
for
good
reasons,
but
I
think
it's
important
for
us
to
always
periodically
always
reevaluate.
You
know
what
our
restrictions
are
as
council
members
and
how
we
make
good
policy,
because,
in
my
opinion,
good
policy
is
made
by
being
able
to
work
with
somebody
with
a
group
under
the
confines
of
the
brown
Act.
O
R
Thank
you,
council
member.
The
Direction
on
the
biennial
review
was
to
provide
advice
to
the
Council
on
that
subject.
So
the
memo
does
contain
a
brief
paragraph
or
two
on
what
the
law
is
on
the
brown
act
and
we
do
have
an
advice
memo
to
the
council.
That
would
be
a
privileged
attorney-client
legal
advice.
Memo
like
we
often
provide,
and
that
is
being
finished
up
and
will
be
coming
to
council.
Thank
you.
L
I
think
my
question
is
in
line
with
what
council
member
David
Gohan
asks
for.
It's
really
three
aspects
to
the
brown
act,
and
maybe
your
memo
is
going
to
cover,
but
I
want
to
make
sure
that
it
is
in
order
for
us
to
be
able
to
be
fully
compliant
with
brown
Act.
There
are
three
aspects
to
it:
the
life
of
the
brown
Act
scope
of
the
brown
Act
and
the
third
is
keeping
track
of
who
are
members
of
the
brown
act.
L
Okay
and
today,
scope,
like
council
member,
said
we
may
be
sometimes
taking
the
scope
to
be
too
large,
like
I,
would
pick
on
one
where
I
found
it
to
be
too
large.
It's
like
interim
housing.
It
seems
to
have
so
many
facets,
but
it
seems
like
because
it
was
brought
in
to
the
council.
That
item
is
considered
that
the
oh,
nothing
about
the
interim
housing
can
be
talked
with
anybody
other
than
those
people
who
were
in
The,
Mammoth
I.
L
L
The
third
one
is
brown:
Act
is
being
kept
tracked
by
each
one
of
the
council
members
staff
I
would
prefer
to
have
that
be
in
the
city
clerk's
office,
a
central
database
which
is
accessible
to
all
of
us,
and
so
that
we
can
once
a
brown
act
exists.
We
can
find
out
which
Brown
Act
is
what
group.
So
those
would
be
three
requests
whatever
you
want
to
call
them
well
like
to
get
that
address
so
that
we
can
stay
fully
complied
with
the
brown
act,
its
intentions
and
its
requirements.
R
Thank
you,
councilmember
batra.
We
do
have
thoughts
about
council's
compliance
with
the
brown
Act,
and
the
issue
on
on
the
clerk
would
obviously
have
to
involve
a
discussion
with
the
clerk.
Also
I,
don't
know
how
much
staff
she
has
for
something
like
that,
but
that
is
not
covered
by
us,
but
we
can
have
further
discussion
about
it.
Thank
you.
D
D
C
AC
AC
AC
So
the
rules
committee
referred
made
a
request
to
our
office
to
revise
twido
12
to
address
the
following
four
bullet
points.
One
is
to
align
the
definition
with
the
political
reform
Act
of
candidate
to
include
elected
officers,
and
that
would
waterfall
into
the
application
of
control
committees
in
the
campaign
contributions
under
title
12.,
and
we
also
see
clarification
as
the
candidate
control
committees,
making
independent
expenditures,
whether
they're
subject
to
the
contribution
limits
and
time
period,
restrictions
and,
lastly,
to
amend
the
revolving
door
policy
to
prohibit
former
city
officials
from
working
with
independent
expenditure
committees.
AC
AD
As
you
know,
in
the
22-2022
elections
we
saw
political
action
committee
run
by
former
Maria
licardo
and
his
chief
of
staff
Jim
Reed,
who
collected
around
1.5
million
dollars
raised
in
sums
well
beyond,
what's
allowed
for
San
Jose
elected
officials
to
raise
by
our
local
elections
laws
and
spend
it
to
influence
the
elections
for
the
mayor
and
city
council
districts,
three
and
seven.
This
includes
over
200
000
race
from
Executives
of
Legacy
Partners,
a
firm
that
is
founded
by
mayor
mahan's
uncle
and
one
of
San
Jose's
largest
landlords.
AD
AD
So
now,
Jim
Reed
serves
as
the
chief
of
staff
to
our
current
major
who
benefited
from
this
fundraising
practice
and
is
guiding
decisions
on
important
policy
issues
connected
to
those
wealthy
donors
raising
a
number
of
Ethics
concerned
within
City
Hall.
We
believe
that
the
proposal
from
the
city
attorney
and
the
memo
from
these
council
members
would
close
the
Liverpool
in
our
Municipal
Code
that
allowed
this
fact
to
be
created
and
help
to
eliminate
the
appearance
of
potential
corruption
at
City
Hall
by
stopping
future
unlimited
fundraising
by
City
officials.
AD
AE
E
AE
AE
Limit
the
influence
of
wealthy
individuals,
we
will
not
have
a
true
democracy
in
the
city
of
San
Jose
I.
Commend
you
for
this
action
and
again
urge
you
to
look
at
what
neighboring
cities
Oakland,
for
example,
and
other
cities
have
done
to
further
restrict
abuse
of
big
money
in
politics.
Thank
you.
So
much.
AF
Hi
John
Tucker
speaking
on
behalf
of
MEF,
and
also
the
entirety
of
appsme
local
101,
which
represents
over
4
500
public
and
private
workers
in
the
South
Bay
after
me.
Ask
that
you
support
the
memo
by
council
members,
Candelas
Davis,
Foley
Cohen
Jimenez
to
strengthen
our
local
democracy
and
protect
City
Hall
from
the
moneyed
interests
and
those
that
would
seek
to
use
public
funds
to
line
the
pockets
of
the
very
few
and
the
very
wealthy.
AF
Mind
you,
despite
the
state's
fppc
warning
him
about
running
a
foul
with
the
state
election
coding,
The
Proposal
from
the
city
attorney,
and
the
memo
from
these
council
members
would
close
the
loophole
in
our
Municipal
Code
that
allowed
this
pack
to
be
created
and
help
eliminate
the
perception
and
reality
of
potential
Corruption
of
City
Hall
by
stopping
future
unlimited
fundraising
by
City
officials.
Well,
thank
you.
P
Yes,
Paul
from
the
Horseshoe,
it's
okay
when
something
stinks,
it's
okay
to
say
that
it
smells,
but
when
something
stinks-
and
you
continue
to
have
a
smile
on
your
face
and
you
call
it
roses
and
and
sit
there
and
say:
oh
well,
I,
don't
know
what
are
you
talking
about?
That's
come
on
man.
Those
things
are
over.
You
can't
count
us
now.
What
Ricardo
did
is
corrupted
the
entire
system,
because
he's
a
lawyer
and
wow
I
did
not
know
that
the
mayor's
uncle
is
one
of
the
largest
landowners
in
the
city.
P
That
is
interesting.
That
is
an
interesting
fact,
and
the
other
thing
is
that
licardo
needs
to
be
referred.
I
would
like
an
amendment
to
this
proposed
ordinance
and
he
needs
to
be
referred
to
this
Santa
Clara,
County,
civil
grand
jury,
there's
too
much
lying
and
too
much
corruption.
The
man
needs
to
be
arrested.
P
He
needs
to
be
arrested
and
he
needs
to
know
what
it's
like
to
have
cops
come
after,
because
this
man
is
a
thief,
he's
a
criminal
and
he
deserves
criminal
prosecution
for
the
criminal
acts
that
he's
committed
here.
This
is
not
in
alignment
with
state
law.
The
it's
very,
very
clear,
I
stated
it
earlier.
In
my
comments.
It
is
not
in
alignment
with
quote
unquote
state
law.
What
happens
to
people
that
break
the
law?
P
They
are
called
criminals,
but
what
we
do
is
we
afford
certain
people
in
our
community,
Ricardo
and
Reed,
namely
to
get
away
with
breaking
the
law,
and
the
laws
only
apply
criminally
to
the
people
of
the
lower
classes.
They
cannot
defend
themselves,
nor
have
friends
like
man
that
are
the
mayor
of
our
city,
so
I
would
suggest
that
also.
Maybe
the
mayor
needs
to
be
considered
for
civil
prosecution
at
the
Civil
grand
jury
level
because
of
his
participation
and
beneficiary
of
this
corruption.
AG
The
last
elections
we
saw
a
political
action
committee
run
by
former
mayor
Ricardo
and
his
chief
of
staff
Jim
Reed,
to
collect
around
1.5

being

no
more
than
a
thousand
four
hundred
for
elections
for

San

has
always
been
a
leader
in
ensuring
fairness
in
our
elections
and
having
strong
campaign
Finance
laws,
but
mayor
licardo
and
Jim
Reed
found
and
abused
this
loophole.
Despite
the

Fair
political
practices,
commission
warning
them
about
potential
conflicts
with
the
state
election
code,
The
Proposal
from

We

AI
AI
I
am
a
resident
and
a
landowner
and
District
3,
and
my
two
prior
Representatives
on
this
Council
in
my
opinion,
have
been
transphobic
and
they
use
that
power
to
deny
my
community
housing
I'm
a
landowner
and
willing
to
be
the
general
contractor
to
provide
housing,
and
this
city
council
refuses
to
allow
trans
women
to
have
housing
in
this
city,
and
the
big
developers
downtown
dictate
who
are
representatives
are
Omar
is
the
first
one.
It's
broken
through
that
corporate
shield
and
so
I'm
asking
you
to
pass
this
I'm.
AI
Also
asking
you
to
stand
up
for
trans
women.
I
mean
the
city
of
San.
Jose
is
so
transphobic
that
you
put
a
chief
in
that
has
questions
you
don't
even
listen
to
our
community
and
you
won't
even
repeal
the
ordinance.
That's
still
on
the
books.
That
says
no
person
shall
appear
in
public
wearing
the
dress
not
assigned
to
their
sex
and
you've,
never
ever
hired
a
trans
woman
ever
in
the
city
of
San
Jose.
If
that's
not
straight
up
bigotry,
how
do
you
Define
bigotry.
O
Yeah,
thank
you
and
I
appreciate
all
the
work
that
the
attorney's
office
has
done
on
this
update
on
the
policy.
I
think
it's
an
important
one,
I
I!
You
know
as
there's
more
and
more
restrictions
that
we
actually
put
on
ourselves
as
council
members
and
candidates
for
office
in
San,
Jose,
we've
seen
the
influence
of
independent
expenditures
grow
and
that's
been
frustrating
to
many
of
us.
I.
Think,
and
you
know
we
won't
really
have
much.
O
We
can
do
about
outside
independent
expenditures,
but
it
to
to
have
independent
expenditures
that
are
originating
inside
the
building
is,
is
an
extra
level
of
frustration,
I
think
for
some
of
us
as
well,
so
I
think
it's
important
for
us
to
close
the
loopholes
and
I
do
have
one
question
before
I
make
a
motion
on
slide.
On
page
four
of
your
presentation,
it
talks
about
what
the
definition
of
candidate
is
and
I
thought.
O
AC
The
proposed
revisions
only
deals
with
redefining
candidate.
There
is
a
separate
definition
of
agent
under
Section
12.06.220
that
covers
staff
tied
to
campaign
or
had
a
role
in
the
campaign.
But
if
the
council
desires
to
expand
it
to
staff
of
an
elected
official
holding
office,
we
would
need
to
amend
that
section
to
clarify
that
that
section
existed
pre-proposed
ordinance
today,
and
so
that
would
need
to
be
updated
to
cover
the
expansion
of
the
staff
of
an
elected
officer.
O
Okay,
thanks
for
the
clarification-
and
that
is
why
we
put
number
two
in
the
memo,
but
it
wasn't
clear
to
us
exactly
whether
we
needed
it
or
not.
So
I
wanted
to
find
out
so
I
I
appreciate
that
and
we
we
do
have
the
interest
of
making
sure
that
it
includes
Council
staffs,
as
in
addition
to
campaign
staff
for
for
candidates.
AC
O
O
Yeah
I
did
hear
that
and
I
was
going
to
bring
that
up.
We
don't
have
a
meeting
on
the
27th,
although
we
left
the
27th
open
as
a
possibility
to
do
a
meeting
if
we
need
one
in
my.
In
my
opinion,
this
is
important
enough
to
make
sure
we
have
a
meeting
on
the
27th
unless,
if
we
can't
meet
the
timing
of
the
20th,
but
is.
D
Y
AC
The
proposed
ordinance,
We
Believe,
would
be
valid
in
terms
of
the
revision
of
the
candidate
definition
to
include
elected
officer.
One
of
the
referrals
from
rules
that
originated
from
former
council
member
Esparza
was
to
limit
the
ability
of
staff
to
work
for
an
independent
expenditure
committee
following
their
tenure
with
the
city,
and
we
did
not
believe
that
that
would
be
a
valid
limitation.
Y
R
And
thank
you
for
the
question.
The
issue
on
number
four
was
the
the
recommendation
from
rules
via
council
member
esparza's
memo
that
would
prohibit
former
employees
from
working
on
Independent
committees,
and
that
is
the
issue
that
we
felt
unduly
burdened
the
employee's
speech
rights
because
it
involves
elections
and
independent
expenditure
committees,
and
so
that
is
what
we
are
not
bringing
forward.
C
R
I'm
not
sure
that
I
can
answer
that
question
and
Rosa
jump
in
if
you
can.
But
what
we
are
doing
is
aligning
the
cities
definition
of
candidate
with
the
State
political
reform
Act,
so
that
that
is
what's
before
the
council
and
then
the
we
already
have
a
definition
of
agent
in
our
code
in
our
municipal
code,
and
it
appears
that
what
we
we
would
be
asked
to
do
is
expand
that
and
that's
what
we'll
be
looking
at
and
bringing
next
but
bringing
back
to
council
if
that's
possible,
to
do.
AC
C
C
J
Counselor
Candelas,
thank
you,
mayor
I.
Just
wanted
to
thank
my
colleagues
who
work
together
on
on
putting
this
this
memo
and
and
just
calling
to
attention
to
the
importance
of
maintaining
the
Integrity
of
our
political
system
and
preventing
corruption
and
undue
influence
from
special
interest
groups
is,
is
Paramount
and
that's,
ultimately,
what
we're
doing
protecting
the
public
trust
in
our
government
and
and
and
I
look
forward
to
supporting
the
motion
on
the
floor.
Thank
you.
J
L
O
L
O
L
O
Yeah
I
mean
number
three
is,
is
we
were
asking?
You
know
to
come
back
and
let
us
know
if
there's
more,
we
can
do
from
a
reporting
standpoint,
but
that
will
be
report
back
to
us
and
at
that
time
we
would
decide
if
we
wanted
to
take
any
action
on
number
three.
The
number
three
is
not
a
current
action.
This
would
direct
those
the
ordinance
that
comes
back
in
June
to
have
the
changes
recommended
by
the
attorney's
office
and
update
the
definition
of
agent.
C
K
Good
afternoon,
mayor
council,
I'm
Matt
Lush
acting
Public
Works
director
here
to
introduce
our
VTA
team
here
with
us
on
this
project.
The
BART
Silicon
Valley
is
the
largest
one
of
the
largest
Public
Works
projects
in
the
region,
estimated
about
nine
billion
dollars.
Bart
integrates
to
San
Jose
into
a
regional
transit
system.
The
Six
Mile

When
we
last
presented
a
council
in
December,
7
2021,
the
city
council
directed
staff
to
use
elements
of
the
municipal
code
1336
to
ensure
VTA
used
a
variety
of
tools
for
comprehensive
construction
impact
mitigation.
We
are
here
today
to
approve
the
first
construction
transportation
management
plan.
You'll
hear
this
a
bunch
lots
of
acronyms
ctmp
for
early
works
at
the
West
Portal.
K
This
will
establish
the
first
construction
transportation
management
plan
for
the
West
Portal
early
Works
in
District
6..
This
sets
the
stage
for
future
ctmps
for
major
construction
for
the
project
expecting
to
last
10
years.
The
VTA
team
will
review
the
contract
specific
elements
for
the
ctmp.
This
sets
the
stage
for
future
ctmps
for
the
next
10
years.
K
Our
next
steps
will
be
VTA
will
present
to
the
VTA
board
the
draft
business
resource
program
in
June,
6
2023
and
in
the
coming
months
and
years
VTA
will
return
to
city
council
for
the
remaining
construction
and
transportation
management
plans
with
us.
We
have
four
people:
four
members
from
the
VTA
team,
Bernice
Alanis,
Erica,
roakes,
Bruce,

AJ
Thank
you
for
providing
VT
an
opportunity
to
present
upcoming
activities
for
vt's
Bart
Silicon
Valley
Phase
2
project,
we're
here
to
talk
with
you
today
about
early
project
construction
activities,
which
will
primarily
occur
at
the
VTA
owned
New
Hall
yard
property.
This
site
is
located
adjacent
to
an
already
active
rail
Corridor
and
includes
the
Project's
West
Portal,
where
the
tunnel
boring
machine
will
be
launched.
Ultimately,
the
site
will
include
the
Santa
Clara
BART
station,
a
maintenance
facility
for
trains
as
well
as
train
storage,.
AJ
A
draft
construction
transportation
management
plan
that
was
reviewed
with
City
staff
was
included
in
the
tunnel
and
track
work
contract
specifications.
It
included
the
framework
and
guidelines
to
coordinate
automobile
truck
bicycle
and
pedestrian
movements
and
access
around
and
through
construction
sites,
as
well
as
emergency
access
during
construction
for
the
entire
project.
The
draft
ctmp
was
also
discussed
at
the
city
council
in
December
of
2021
as
part
of
the
execution
of
the
VTA
city
of
San
Jose
Cooperative
agreement
number
one.
AJ
Since
last
presenting
to
the
council
at
the
end
of
2021,
the
BART
Silicon
Valley
Project
awarded
the
first
contract
package.
We
call
that
contract
package
too,
and
that's
for
the
tunnel
and
track
work.
It
was
awarded
to
the
joint
venture
of
kiwit
Shea,
trailer
kst
for
another
acronym
and
we've
been
working
with
them
to
develop
the
cp2
contract.
Package
2
tunnel
and
track
work,
specific
construction,
transportation
management
plans.
AJ
This
ctmp
was
developed
in
consultation
and
coordination
with
staff
from
the
city
of
San,
Jose,
City
of
Santa,
Clara
and
other
key
stakeholders
in
the
area,
including
PayPal,
Park,
Costco
and
developer
Hunter
partners
before
I
dive
into
the
details
of
the
ctmp
for
the
West
Portal
I
want
to
provide
a
brief
overview
of
other
recent
and
ongoing
project
activities
in
2022.
The
project
completed
a
station
refinement
effort
which
explored
refinements
to
Vertical
circulation
and
Transit
oriented
development,
integration
at
Diridon
and
the
downtown
BART
stations.
AJ
The
outcomes
of
this
effort
were
presented
at
the
February
23
VT
board
meeting,
as
well
as
shared
with
the
city
of
San,
Jose
transportation
and
environment
committee,
for
its
23
2023
annual
report.
The
project
has
also
been
working
to
develop
a
business
resource
program
also
referred
to
as
BRP,
which
will
be
presented
to
the
VTA
board
of
directors
in
June.
The
BRP
is
anticipated
to
launch
later
this
year.
Additional
details
will
be
shared
with
the
city
following
input
from
the
VTA
board
on
the
business
resource
program.
AJ
Vta's
Bart
phase
to
extension
project
will
extend
Bart
six
miles
from
the
Berryessa
North
San
Jose
station
that
opened
in
2020
into
San,
Jose
and
Santa
Clara.
It
will
include
one
mile
of
track
at
ground
level
and
five
miles
below
grade
and
a
single
board
tunnel.
There
are
four
stations
along
the
alignment:
three
underground
in
San
Jose
at
28th,
Street
little
Portugal,
Downtown,
San
Jose
in
dear
it
on
and
when
we
say
underground,
that's
underground
boarding
with
an
above
ground
station
facility
and
as
well
as
the
ground
level
station
in
Santa
Clara.
AJ
AJ
This
is
our
funding
plan
under
the
FTA
new
starts
funding
program.
The
project
has
various
funding
sources,
including
federal
state,
regional
and
local
funding.
Sources
include
the
Federal
Transit
administration's
new
starts
program,
the
transit
and
inner
city,
rail
Capital
program,
Regional,
Measure,
3
and
2000
measure
a
and
2016
measure
B,
the
state
of
California
recently
awarded
375
million
to
the
Santa
Clara
Valley
Transportation
Authority
for
the
phase
two
project
into
downtown
San,
Jose
and
Santa
Clara.
This
new
award
brings
the
state's
total
commitment
through
the
transit
Inner

Capital
program
to
1.125
billion.
AJ
Last
year's
state
budget
surplus,
made
additional
tour,
sip
funds
possible
and
available
for
transportation
infrastructure
projects.
This
infusion
of
funds
is
very
important
and
a
critical
step
for
VTA
to
qualify
for
roughly
4.6
billion
in
federal
contribution,
which
is
approximately
50
percent
of
this
project.
Cost.
AJ
AJ
I
want
to
walk
through
the
development
of
our
contract
package,
specific
construction,
transportation
management
plans
or
ctmps
I've
been
referring
to
them,
a
reminder
that
the
underlying
purpose
of
the
ctmps
is
to
minimize
to
the
extent
possible
construction
related
Transportation
impacts
to
all
modes
of
transportation
during
construction.
The
tunnel
and
track
work.
Contract
cp2
ctmp
that
we're
discussing
today
is
our
first
contract
specific
package
and
covers
early
construction
activities
at
the
West
Portal.
AJ
Only
in
vta's
New
Hall
yard,
developing
the
cp2
specific
ctmp
involve
coordination
between
the
tunnel
and
track
work,
contractor
VTA
and
the
cities
of
San
Jose
and
Santa
Clara.
The
property
spans.
Both
cities
and
the
project
team
met
regularly
with
both
cities
to
develop
and
review
the
proposed
cp2
specific
ctmp
for
early
construction
at
the
West
Portal.
There
was
also
regular
coordination
with
adjacent
stage
holders
such
as
PayPal
Park,
the
developer,
Hunter
partners
and
Costco
throughout
the
ctmp
development.
AJ
In
addition,
the
community
was
also
engaged
to
provide
input
and
consideration
on
the
ctmp
as
public
meetings
at
public
meetings,
which
I
will
cover
on
the
next
slide.
Kst
has
finalized
the
plan
and
it
is
now
with
the
cities
for
approval
before
any
early
construction
activities
will
begin
as
part
of
the
ctmp
development.
AJ
We
hosted
two
public
meetings
in
mid-march.
One
was
in
person
at
Santa,
Clara,
University
and
another
was
online
on
zoom,
and
this
says
we
had
50
people
attending
the
public
meeting,
but
actually
we
had
over
300
review
the
materials
online
and
virtually
we
did
this
to
connect
with
the
general
public
and
share
information
regarding
early
construction
activities
at
the
West
Portal
site,
project
staff
promoted
the
event
through
several
outlets,
including
physical
mailers,
flyering,
email,
social
media
and
numerous
website
updates
for
those
who
missed
it.
AJ
AJ
Now,
I'm
going
to
walk
you
through
the
on-site
early
construction
activities,
which
will
occur
over
the
next
two
years.
Note
that
the
current
state
of
the
site
is
an
empty
dirt.
Lot.
Vta
acquired
this
site
in
2004
to
prepare
for
this
project
to
orient
you
to
the
north
north
is
to
the
right,
and
then
the
880
Freeway
is
on
the
left
side
of
the
screen.
Brokaw
Road
is
also
to
the
right.
Coleman
Avenue
is
at
the
bottom,
and
the
active
Rel
Corridor
runs
directly
in
the
center.
Just
above
the
area.
That's
designated
in
red.
AJ
The
red
area
outlined
is
vta's,
New,
Hall
yard
property,
which
is
the
area
where
all
of
these
early
construction
activities
will
be
taking
place.
As
you
can
see,
the
site
is
directly
adjacent
to
the
active
rail
Corridor.
We're
Union
Pacific
as
well
as
Caltrain
operate
and
Caltrain
operates
in
the
area
from
4
30
a.m.
To
1
30
A.M
there
will
be
three
entrances
into
the
site.
AJ
The
tunnel
lighting
Factory,
is
shown
in
the
dark
blue,
which
is
kind
of
in
the
center
of
the
area,
and
it
will
be
constructed
and
that's
where
the
tunnel
lining
segments
will
be
fabricated.
In
addition,
during
this
phase,
the
factory
needs
to
produce
360
tunnel
lineman
segments
before
major
construction
can
begin,
and
that's
about
13
percent
of
the
total
number
needed
for
the
whole
Five
Mile
tunnel.
The
facility
can
fabricate
six
segments
per
day
and
one
ring
within
the
tunnel
requires
nine
segments.
AJ
Eventually,
in
the
next
phase
of
construction,
the
lining
segments
will
be
placed
in
by
the
tunnel
Boring
Machine,
as
soil
is
removed,
to
create
a
structurally
sound
tube
underground.
Once
the
TBM
is
fully
operating,
Optimus
Optimum
speeds
it
will
install
six
rings
or
54
segments
every
24
hours.
So
that's
why
we
need
to
have
advanced
supply
of
those
to
keep
up
with
the
demand.
AJ
The
tunnel
lining
storage
area
is
shown
in
purple
kind
of
towards
the
center
there,
and
this
in
this
phase,
the
ground
needs
to
be
prepared
to
store
the
tunnel
lining
segments
each
of
those
tunnel
lining
segments
weighs
about
40
000
pounds
shown
in
the
dark
green.
That
is
where
the
West
Portal
area
is
and
where
the
tunnel
boring
machine
will
begin
tunneling
into
the
ground,
and
the
TBM
shaft
will
serve
as
the
assembly
area
and
eventual
launching
point
for
the
TBM
and
accordingly,
the
shaft
will
house
many
large
support
structures
during
operation.
AJ
The
tunnel
Boring
Machine
shaft,
will
also
be
the
area
where
excavated
soil
is
taken
out
of
the
tunnel
and
where
tunnel
lining
segments
will
be
brought
in
and
ultimately
installed.
The
grout
plant
shown
in
the
brown
will
also
be
constructed.
The
two
acre
excavated
material
has
been
shown
in
pink
will
be
constructed
during
this
phase
of
work
as
well.
Finally,
a
noise
curtain
in
cyan
the
upper
left
there
will
be
constructed
along
the
west
side
of
the
site
to
reduce
noise
from
construction
activities.
AJ
AJ
These
are
a
few
of
the
key
early
construction
activities
that
will
be
occurring
at
the
site,
as
well
as
their
earliest
anticipated
start
date
and
duration.
Constructing
the
tunnel
lining
factories
anticipated
to
begin
late
this
summer
and
wrap
up
in
about
a
year
once
complete
the
tunnel
lining
Factory
will
operate
beginning
in
Fall
of
2024
and
last
throughout
major
construction.
Creating
the
concrete
tunnel
lining
segments
that
will
make
up
the
interior
of
the
tunnel.
AJ
The
supportive
excavation
construction
of
the
tunnel,
boring
shaft
and
portal,
and
preparation
of
the
TBM
launch
site
are
expected
to
begin
in
Fall
of
this
year
and
last
for
approximately
15
months.
The
construction
of
the
excavated
material
bin
is
anticipated
to
begin
in
Winter
of
2024
and
last
about
six
months.
All
of
these
activities
are
required
to
prepare
the
site
for
major
construction
to
begin.
AJ
Early
construction
activities
at
the
West
Portal
will
require
extended
work
and
Hall
hours,
Beyond
standard
work
hours
in
the
city
of
San
Jose
and
Santa
Clara
as
work
begins
later
this
summer.
Early
construction
activities
will
begin
with
a
single
shift.
Only
meaning
work
will
begin
6
a.m
and
end
at
6
PM,
including
on
Saturdays.
This
time
period
is
shown
in
the
light
green
towards
the
left
on
the
timeline
above
planned
for
late
2023.
Critical
construction
activities
will
ramp
up
that
require
double-shifted
work
and
double
shifted
hauling
in
addition
to
the
Saturday
work.
AJ
This
time
period
is
shown
in
the
teal
double
shifts
are
for
22
hours
and
begin
at
6
a.m
and
last
until
4
AM,
it's
expected
that
this
extended
Hall
link
for
22
hours
a
day
will
be
required
for
15
months
for
critical,
concrete
pours
during
the
supportive
excavation.
This
is
critical
for
safety
to
make
sure
that
that
that
big
shaft
is
solidly
supported
and
there
wouldn't
be
any
type
of
cave
is
and
such.
AJ
So
that's
that's
part
of
the
requirement
for
these
extended
work
hours,
construction
of
the
TBM
shaft
and
portal
and
preparation
of
the
TBM
launch
site.
After
these
critical
activities
are
complete.
The
hauling
revert
back
to
a
single
shift,
while
the
work
hours
will
continue
20
hours
a
day
which
is
shown
in
blue.
AJ
AJ
AJ
The
area
of
work
covered
by
the
first
ctmp
includes
the
West
Portal
adjacent
to
the
Future
new
Home
maintenance
facility,
The
second
contract.
Specific
ctmps
is
expected
to
cover
early
construction
and
major
construction
for
Diridon
downtown
in
28th
Street
little
Portugal
stations.
The
third
ctmp
is
expected
to
cover
major
construction
back
at
the
West
Portal
area
again,
and
the
fourth
is
the
final
cp2
ctmp
and
expected
to
cover
early
major
construction
at
the
East
portal.
In
addition,
there
will
be
additional
contract
transportation
management
plans
once
the
other
contractors
are
on
board.

you
think
about
it.
Oakland

Thank
you.

Q
Hello,
this
is
Blair,
am
I
working
am
I
on
yes,
okay,
hi
Blair,
with
a
minute
50.,
yeah
I've
spoken
previously
on
this
item.
You
know,
I've
been
really
impressed.
I
think
it's
a
hopeful
sign
that
we
decided
that
far,
that
people
decided
that
we
should
lay
the
BART
tracks
parallel
to
each
other,
instead
of
on
top
of
each
other
in
the
tunnel.
That
was
kind
of
a
transformational
time
period
that
we're
going
through
when
that
decision
was
happening.
Q
I
think
we
really
have
to
take
that
to
heart
and
how
we
consider
our
projects
and
when
we
feel
something
is
unsafe
or
uncomfortable.
We
have
to
learn
how
to
be
open
to
want
to
talk
about
it.
I
mean
that's
what
I'm
trying
to
learn
to
do
here
at
public
comments.
I
mean
that's
my
intention.
I,
don't
want
to
be
mean-spirited
or
like
gotcha
I.
Just
simply
want
to
practice.
How
uncomfortable
topic
matter
can
be.
Q
There
can
be
a
place
where
we
can
make
it
a
more
comfortable
conversation,
so
I'm
trying
to
learn
how
to
do
that
and
that's
what
we
did
with
the
barge
tracks
and
wherever
that
can
be
of
help.
Hopefully
I'll
be
there.
Hopefully,
you
know
we
can
all
be
working
towards
such
things.
You
know
that
we
want
to
do
those
sort
of
things
in
our
public
future.
Q
For
instance,
it's
my
understanding.
There
will
not
be
the
BART.
Tunneling
cannot
start
until
2024
the
summer,
yet
it
can
be
difficult
to
get
clarity
on
such
an
idea
and
process.
I
hope
that
can
be
of
help
to
yourselves
and
how
we
talk
about
this
issue
and
we
don't
fiddle
paddle
around
it
and
be
real
honest
in
such
Concepts.
E
AM
I'm,
the
vice
president
of
operations
for
the
San
Jose
Earthquakes
in
PayPal
Park
I've,
been
the
head
of
the
parking
and
traffic
management
plan
for
PayPal
Park
for
the
past
nine
years
since
the
stadium
opened
in
2015.,
the
San
Jose
earthquakes
support
the
expansion
of
the
VTA
and
Bart
project
and
are
excited
about
the
opportunity
of
the
public
transportation,
supporting
PayPal
Park
events.
We
do
have
concerns
about
the
parking
traffic
plan
that
BT
presented
during
the
PayPal
Park
large-scale
events.
AM
Adding
additional
Vehicles
during
Peak
traps
closed
to
and
from
PayPal
Park
will
negatively
impact
the
parking
and
traffic
management
plan
that
the
earthquakes
have
organized
the
city
of
San,
Jose
Department
of
Transportation,
but
also
have
impact
on
the
surrounding
Community.
We
want
to
continue
to
keep
an
open
line
of
communication
with
VTA
and
work
with
VTA
and
the
city
of
San
Jose
to
develop
the
best
traffic
mitigation
plan.
Thank
you.
Paul.
P
P
and
then
at
the
same
time,
they
went
to
work
on
the
VTA
board
and
so
there's
a
conflict
of
interest
with
respect
to
these
Bart
extension,
anything
having
to
do
with
Bart
anything
you
having
to
do
with
VTA
and
everything
anything
having
to
do
with
this
council
is
corrupted
and
is
subject
to
actual
criminal
prosecution,
because
there's
the
conflicts
of
interest
that
have
happened.
Yeah
these
board
contracts
are
asking
the
public
to
do
this.
Don't
look
at
the
fact
that
you
had
a
mayor,
sign
an
undisclosure
agreement
and
have
Bart
in
on
those
conversations.
P
Don't
look
at
that
and
the
fact
that
he
was
on
the
board
of
the
VTA
and
that
there's
no
conflict
of
interest
here
at
all
at
all.
This
is
perfectly
in
a
line.
This
is
just
this
is
It's,
it
stinks.
You
know,
I
mean
how
how
much
more
corruption
do
we
have
to
be
confronted
with
in
these
meetings
to
to
sit
there
and
say
you
know
what
this
is
wrong.
This
is
corrupt.
You
know
we're
looking
for
some
politicians
with
some
backbone.
P
You
know,
someone
did,
you
know,
did
when
you
swore
an
oath
to
this
office
to
represent
the
interest
of
the
public.
You
wouldn't
let
something
like
this
go
down.
If
you
were
a
citizen-
and
you
saw
this
so
why
are
you
doing
it
while
you're
members
of
the
council
I
mean
this
stinks?
The
Ricardo,
Carrasco
and
and
Perales
were
all
in
on
it.
Why?
Because
District
just
five
were
necessary
in
order
to
facilitate
this,
and
then
they
were
on
the
board.
Come
on.
F
Yeah
whatever's
in
front
of
me,
yeah
I,
I
got
you
I
got
you.
Thank
you
to
VTA
and
Bart
for
this
very
important
project,
really
looking
forward
to
Bart
being
Extended
to
downtown
and
through
East
San,
Jose
I.
Think
it's
going
to
empower
a
lot
of
our
residents
to
navigate
to
work
visit.
Their
families
visit
different
cities.
Downtowns
have
people
visit
our
downtown,
so
just
really
looking
forward
to
the
economic
benefits
and-
and
one
thing
also
I'm
interested
in
is
the
potential
jobs.
AJ
F
AJ
AJ
F
I
appreciate
this
I,
just
just
realizing
that
more
than
just
Bart
coming
to
San
Jose.
This
is
also
an
economic
investment
in
the
workforce
here
in
Silicon
Valley
and
then
in
turn,
they're
going
to
be
coming
into
downtown
Willow,
Glen,
Alum,
Rock
East
Ridge
to
come
and
spend
their
money
so
really
excited
for
the
economic
benefits
of
this
project.
Thank
you.

I
might
have
our
contractor
give
some
specifics,
but
I
know
that
we're
doing
analysis
on
the
roadway
conditions
and
there'll
be
measurements
before
and
after
and
and
there
is
I
I
believe
in
our
comprehensive
agreement.
The
CP
first
one
that
we
did
have
a
formula
for
resurfacing.
The
roadways
and
our
proportionate
share
based
on
the
use.
AN
K
AN
AN
Okay,
thank
you
and
then
for
for
the
VTA
staff.
The
double
shift
work.
What
what
and
the
hauling?
What
is
the
estimated
noise?
That's
going
to
be
happening
in
the
middle
of
the
night
when
people
are
trying
to
sleep
and
people
are
trying
to
keep
their
babies,
get
their
babies
back
to
sleep
in
the
middle
of
the
night?.
AO
Good
afternoon
my
name
is
Luis
pies.
Thank
you
for
your
question.
The
the
critical
operations
that
will
be
performed
at
night
is
for
the
shaft
work,
which
is
that
very
large
excavation
has
to
be
made
that
will
house
the
tunnel
boring
machine
and
the
excavation
associated
with
that
operation
as
well.
AO
There
was
a
very
thorough
vibration
and
noise
impact
analysis
performed
that
actually
indicated
that
we
needed
a
sun
wall
to
mitigate
the
noise
impacts
to
the
adjacent
community,
and
that
is
something
that
both
theories
are
in
the
process
or
evaluating,
and
it's
part
of
our
plan
on
establishing
and
putting
in
place
prior
to
any
construction
commencing
for
the
double
shift
work.
Thank.
AN
AJ
So
we
did
share
a
very
similar
presentation
that
we
shared
today
at
the
public
meeting
that
we
had
those
50
individuals
attend
at
Santa
Clara
University,
so
we
shared
all
of
that
in
the
double
shifting
and
we
have
all
the
information
online.
We
also
will
have
an
interactive
construction
map
that
will
be
posted
on
the
VTA
website
that
will
provide
any
construction
activities
in
real
time,
so
we'll
be
communicating
with
the
public
on
an
ongoing
basis.
Right
now,
we
are
in
a
process
to
get
individuals
to
sign
up.
AJ
AN
AJ
Have
a
24-hour
hotline
that
will
be
once
construction
starts.
We
have
the
community
outreach
hotline
right
now
and
we
have
prompts,
but
once
we
get
into
active
construction,
it'll
be
manned
24
hours
and
the
prompts
will
be
like
if
this
is
an
emergency
press
one.
If
this
is
two
and
you
want
a
call
back
within
24
hours,
press
two,
so
we
will
have
a
24-hour
hotline
for
the.

It's
approximately
14
to
16
months
or
so
for
the
the
like
manufacturing,
the
TBM.
Then
they
have
to
disassemble
it
and
then
ship
it,
and
then
they
have
to
reassemble
it.
So
then
that's
another
six
months
or
so
to
reassemble
it
after
it
arrives
to
get
it
to
actual
bore.
So
we're
we're
a
good
18
to
24
months
out
minimum.
C
E
C
AK
P
One
of
the
things
that
came
up
when
you
know
everybody
was
talking
about
racial
Equity
a
few
years
back
I've.
Yet
to
hear
it
discussed
openly
within
the
context
of
these
meetings.
Was
that
what
councilman,
Perales
and
I
both
discovered
was
that
and
when
you
look
at
Paving
streets
streets
on
the
East
sides,
even
streets
of
the
Horseshoe
were
being
neglected
in
favor
of
other
neighborhoods,
which
we
all
know
the
Willow
Glen
Rose
Garden
Cambrian.
P
We
all
know
the
neighborhoods
and
what
it
showed
was
that
the
wear
and
tear
on
the
cars
in
the
areas
that
were
not
getting
surfaced
actually
experienced
more
necessity
for
repairs,
and
this
is
an
equity
issue,
because
these
are
the
people
that
are
least
capable
of
making
those
repairs.
Man,
people
are
just
surviving,
people
aren't
even
living
anymore.
People
are
just
merely
surviving
we're
not
going
out
to
eat
we're
eating
at
home,
we're
going
in
we're
getting
food.
People
that
are
working
in
these
neighborhoods
are
going
and
getting
food
at
food
banks.
P
Man
I
mean
come
on
people
I
mean
this.
You
serious,
and
this
has
everything
to
do
with
these,
with
these
potholes
and
these
the
streets
that
get
neglected.
But
you
go
on
certain
parts
of
this
city,
man,
man,
those
roads,
are
smooth,
and
these
are
the
people
that
are
most
likely
capable
of
being
able
to.
No,
they
don't
even
have
older
cars.
These
are
newer
vehicles
and
so
they're,
the
least
in
need
of
having
their
streets
paved
in
such
ways.
P
AK
Q
Q
Most
of
the
time,
I
sometimes
offer
something
a
little
odd
and
strange
a
public
comment,
but
it
actually
is
what
we're
already
working
on
and
considering,
but
we
just
don't
know
how
to
voice
it,
make
it
regular
so
I
try
to
compensate
by
that
by
trying
to
be
really
positive
as
well
and
so
for
this
item.
I
just
wanted
to
give
a
glowing
reminder
that
the
city
of
San
Jose,
you
know
in
working
out
their
pavement
issues,
I,
don't
know
way
back
2014
and
15
and
16.
Q
Came
Upon
the
idea
of
bond
issues
of
measure,
t-bond
issues.
It's
been
a
real
help
to
San
Jose
and
it's
it's
been
a
real,
successful
good
program.
Congratulations!
When
you
go
to
other
cities
in
the
Bay
Area,
they
really
consider
using
Bond
issues
for
Street
repair
things
at
this
time.
When
this
issue
was
brought
created
and
the
bond
issue
was
developed,
I
don't
know,
maybe
in
16
or
18.,
you
know
it
had
to
go
through
a
process
of
public
oversight
was
brought
into
the
equation.
Q
I,
don't
know
where
that
came
into
the
process.
Exactly
I
would
like
to
know
that
history
and
understand
that
better,
because
I
think
it's
been
of
help
and
when
I
go
to
other
cities
for
them
to
offer
public
oversight
for
these
sort
of
bond
issues,
it
seems
to
be
helpful
as
well
so
just
to
thank
you
a
good
reminder
that
public
oversight
always
helps
and
that
we're
moving
towards
that
sort
of
future,
a
better
public
oversight
for
most
things.
We
do
so
again.
Q
AL
AI
AI
I
understand
you
might
not
want
to,
but
listen
to
him.
I
live
in
what
I
call
the
slums
of
San,
Jose
District,
three
and
I've
actually
had
my
car's
radiator
tube
that
connects
my
engine
to
my
heater
core
brake
because
of
potholes
and
the
roads
might
be
smooth
in
the
neighborhoods
you
live
in,
but
the
neighborhoods
we
live
in
you.
Let
the
contractors
get
away
with
horror,
think
about
it.
I
hit
a
pothole
so
hard
that
it
broke
the
hose.
C
C
AR
So
in
2020,
the
sjl
Fresco
initiative
basically
allowed
businesses
throughout
the
city
to
conduct
business
operations
outdoors,
and
this
was
very
obviously
in
response
to
the
covid-19
pandemic
and
the
restrictions
imposed
by
our
colleagues
in
public
health,
and
so
at
that
time,
San
Pedro
Street
was
closed
to
non-emergency
vehicular
traffic
and
businesses
were
allowed
to
put
their
tables
and
chairs
out
into
the
street
and
onto
the
sidewalk
in
June
of
2022.
The
city
council
and
mayor
extended
that
street
closure
under
one
of
the
emergency
declarations
until
June
30th
of
this
year,
2023.
AR
The
major
consideration
factors
that
were
were
kind
of
the
central
theme
through
all
of
the
different
Design
Concepts,
were
firelife
safety
access
service
access,
both
delivery
and
garbage
parking
garage,
Ingress
and
egress.
So
the
market
San
Pedro
garage
is
right
there
in
front
San,
Pedro
Street
and
is
a
very
important
part
of
bringing
folks
down
to
San
Pedro
into
the
surrounding
area
and
then
also
the
idea
of
being
able
to
create
equal
outdoor
seating
for
businesses
along
the
street
due
to
kind
of
the
the
special
nature
and
configuration
of
the
street.
AR
And
so
here
you
can
see
kind
of
a
sketch
of
the
pre-covered
condition
of
San
Pedro
Street
generally,
and
this
is
between
Santa
Clara
Street
and
St
John
Street
versus
the
proposed
layout,
and
so
in
the
pre-covered
condition.
You
can
very
easily
see
you've
got
cars
running
down
the
street,
that
is
the
the
central
spine
of
San
Pedro,
and
you
have
the
outdoor
seating
up
on
the
sidewalk
for
for
the
businesses
on
both
sides
of
the
street
in
the
new
proposed
long-term
design
concept.
AR
Basically,
what
you're
doing
is
moving
The
Pedestrian
right-of-way
into
the
middle
or
Center
of
San
Pedro
and
you're,
allowing
the
sidewalk
seating
to
extend
farther
out
into
this.
The
current
sidewalk
in
the
proposed
condition
the
street
would
actually
be
flush
and
businesses
on
both
sides
of
the
street
would
have
20
feet
off
of
the
face
of
their
building
for
outdoor
seating
and
activation
the
central
spine.
AR
That,
in
essence,
is
the
Now
The
Pedestrian
walkway
would
also
be
used
for
fire
Life
Safety
access,
so
emergency
vehicle
access,
the
street
would
remain
closed
to
other
traffic
and
the
market
San
Pedro
garage
Ingress
on
Market
Street
would
be
shut
off
as
it
has
been
for
the
last
three
years.
However,
the
exit
from
the
garage
onto
San
Pedro
Street
on
the
North
End
of
the
Street
would
remain
so
in
essence,
the
same
configuration
as
we
have
had
out
there
during
during
covet
from
a
street
Logistics
standpoint,
and
so
here
is
a
really
great
stretch.
AR
A
stretch
sketch
excuse
me
of
the
vibrancy
that
we
want
to
maintain
on
San
Pedro
Street,
and
so
you
can
see
The
Pedestrian
walkway
in
the
middle.
This
is
the
south
end,
that's
closest
to
Santa
Clara
Street.
There's
a
proposal
for
some
hydraulic
bollards
to
be
able
to.
You
know
easily
prevent
vehicles
from
going
down
the
street,
but
also
to
have
access
if
needed,
and
then
the
seating
that
comes
20
feet
off
of
both
sides
of
the
building.
So
the
future
aspiration.
AR
AR
AR
Again,
schematic
mid-block
the
proposed,
which
is
the
primary
down
the
middle,
and
then
the
the
seating
20
feet
off
the
face
of
the
building,
and
so
there
would
be
shared
responsibility
with
this.
On
the
left
hand,
side
you
can
see
kind
of
the
city's
investment,
the
city's
responsibility,
which
would
be
all
of
the
major
construction,
creating
a
flush
condition
on
the
street,
installing
additional
trees,
installing
hydraulic,
Ballers
kind
of
all
of
the
infrastructure.
AR
That
is
needed
to
really
change
the
the
logistical
layout
and
then,
of
course,
maintenance
and
replacement
of
elements
that
are
in
the
public
right-of-way
on
the
right.
You
have
the
business
and
property
owner
investment,
which
includes
obtaining
the
appropriate
sidewalk
seating
permits
from
our
Department
of
Public
Works.
The
design
and
installation
of
their
sidewalk
seating
to
comply
with
the
regulations,
the
annual
permit
fees,
inspection
fees,
renewal
fees,
of
course,
purchasing
the
furniture
themselves,
maintaining
the
landscape
within
their
permitted
seating
area
and
then
also,
very
importantly,
maintaining
Ada
accessibility
into
that
space.
AR
AR
The
the
project
is
currently
unfunded,
does
not
have
any
funding
source
associated
with
it,
and
these
total
project
costs
do
not
include
any
potential
utility
relocation
or
any
cost
that
would
be
incurred
with
The
Pedestrian
Mall
process
and
those
are
currently
unknown
and
and
The
Pedestrian
Mall
process
is
kind
of
the
last
item
that
I
wanted
to
mention
in
this
presentation.
That's
really
going
to
be
the
mechanism
which
allows
us
to
keep
the
Street
closed
on
an
ongoing
basis.
AR
Currently,
we
are
under
the
emergency
order
declaration
and
we
have
that
until
June
30th
and
then
the
idea
would
be
that
we
have
The
Pedestrian
Mall
process
and
that
Pedestrian
Mall
process
involves
a
resolution
of
intent
being
brought
forward
to
council
that
talks
about
what
we
want
to
do.
Why
we
want
to
do
it
and
how
we're
going
to
do
it?
There's
a
public
notice
process
that
must
be
completed
at
least
90
days
before
the
public
hearing
at
Council.
AR
So
the
resolution
of
intent
sets
the
public
hearing
date
and
then
there's
a
public
notice
process
that
lease
that
lasts
at
least
90
days.
There's
a
public
hearing
at
Council
and
then
Council
has
the
approval
of
an
ordinance
and
also
rules
and
regulations
that
govern
the
Opera
operation
of
The
Pedestrian
Mall.
We
have
done
this
process
once
before.
It's
been
a
long
long
time,
the
Paseo
to
San,
Antonio
and
I
believe
we've
also.
That
was
one
of
the
ways
we
closed,
San
Carlos
Street
to
the
university
previous
to
that.
AR
C
Thanks
Vlog
I
appreciate
the
work
you
James
Matt
and
many
others
on.
The
teams
have
done
too
help
us
navigate.
What
is
in
some
ways
an
unfortunate
situation.
One
of
the
most
successful
things
we've
seen
throughout
the
pandemic
was
al
fresco.
Councilmember
Davis
did
a
lot
of
work
on
that,
as
did
others
and
the
you
know.
This
space
in
particular
has
just
been
so
vibrant
and
beloved
by
by
residents.
C
That
being
said,
we
obviously
need
to
comply
with
State
Fire
code,
and
we
have
some
Public
Works
needs
and
so
I
appreciate
the
work
you
all
have
done
to
help
us
navigate
and
get
get
to
a
path
forward.
That's
going
to
hopefully
work
for
everyone
and
maintain
as
much
of
that
that
vibrancy
and
public
space,
as
we
possibly
can
we'll
come
back
to
council
discussion
after
public
comment.
Do
we
have
any
yes
Paul.
P
P
It
is
the
profiteering
from
the
debts
of
Chicanos
Mexicanos
on
the
east
side
of
San
Jose,
so
leave
it
to
leave
it
to
the
Anglo
population
to
profit
from
Death,
because
that's
what
this
city
is
built
on
you're
built
you're,
trying
to
allocate
Monies
to
build
up
an
area
where
Thomas
Fallon's
house
is
I
mean
how
disgusting
is
that
this
is
the
man
that
profiteered
for
the
decapitations
of
Native
Americans
people.
That's
why
history
is
so
important
to
Center
within
the
context
of
these
meetings.
P
Burnett's
name
are
on
the
same
Masonic
Lodge
10
document
they
were
all
Masons
and
so
is
Clyde
Arbuckle
and
I
suspect.
So
was
mayor,
Tom
McHenry!
This
is
his
proposal.
Mchenry
wants
this
area
built
up,
he's
the
one
that's
up
to
this
mayor.
Mchenry!
No!
Sorry!
No
thank
you
quit
profiteering
from
the
deaths
of
my
people.
I'm!
Sorry,
I!
Don't
accept
that.
AK
Q
Hi
some
good
words
from
Paul.
Thank
you
understanding
the
history
of
this
area.
It's
my
feeling.
The
history
of
the
area
has
also
been
you
know.
San
Pedro
Square
is
part
of
original
City
Hall
and
just
the
original
people
from
I
don't
know
who
moved
here.
I
guess
Spain
in
1776
first
landed
there
and
made
it
a
center
for
themselves,
and
then
it
would
became
a
city
hall
Center
for
Gringos
I,
guess
in
the
1840s
and
50s
I'm,
not
sure,
but.
AN
Q
Q
Q
You
know
for
people
to
meet
and
and
gather
and
get
ready
for
things
and
I
I
hope
that
can
be
respected
into
our
future.
We
know
how
to
do
that.
I
think
it's
ideas
of
warmth
as
how
to
do
that,
and
not
with
coldness,
I
worry
about
the
new
statue
that
wants
to
be
built
at
Cesar,
Chavez
Plaza,
it's
a
bit
too
cold
to
me.
AL
AS
Vice
mayor
and
city
council,
my
name
is
Erica
Pinto
with
spur.
We
wanted
to
express
our
continued
support
for
the
pedestrianization
of
San
Pedro
Street
in
Downtown
San
Jose,
enabling
outdoor
operations
via
the
Alfresco
program
and
in
San
Pedro
Street
was
really
successful
and
it
made
these
places
the
center
of
the
city,
and
they
have
become
popular
destinations
for
both
residents
and
visitors
alike.
We
deeply
appreciate
the
work
to
engage
local
business,
Community,
evaluate
options
and
present
a
concept
for
the
permanent
closure
of
the
street.
AS
We
simply
ask
that
the
city
does
all
it
can
to
explore
new
ways
to
innovate,
collaborate
and
remove
barriers
to
the
creation
of
high
quality
public
spaces
that
uplift
the
entire
Community.
This
is
a
centerpiece
of
public
life
in
San
Jose,
and
it
deserves
it.
San
Jose
should
take
this
opportunity
to
set
a
precedent
of
efficiently
and
effectively
creating
a
public
amenity
and
preserving
the
central
spaces
for
dining
and
social
Gathering
that
have
given
this
project
overwhelming
Community
Support.
AS
The
focus
should
be
on
preserving
and
expanding
on
what
made
it
work
throughout
the
pandemic
and
into
today
and
not
its
identity.
As
a
straight,
we
asked
city,
council
and
staff
to
continue
making
permanent
this
pedestrianized
public
space
for
the
benefit
of
downtown's,
Economic
and
public
vibrancy,
and
to
do
so
by
ambitiously
making
sure
that
thoughtful
planning,
great
Urban,
Design
and
Innovative
project
delivery,
steer
this
public
amenity
forward.
AT
AR
So,
council,
member
not
exactly
sure,
but
we
know
that
there
are
some
requirements
and
Nora
you
can
you
can
please
chime
in
if
I
miss
speaking
in
any
way.
But
we
know
that
there
are
some
requirements
of
the
mall
act.
So
we'll
come
to
council
with
a
resolution
of
intent
and
our
intent
is
to
come
to
council
before
buyer
before
the
end
of
Q3,
so
buyer,
before
the
end
of
September
with
that
resolution,
and
at
that
time
you
have
to
set
a
hearing
date
for
the
public
hearing
that
can
be
no
less
than
90
days.
AR
So
there's
a
90-day
public
notice
process.
Within
that
time
we
obviously
want
to
do
more.
Community
outreach
engage
more
folks.
The
the
community
outreach
that
we
have
done
to
date
has
been
primarily
with
the
businesses
that
line
the
street,
because
I
think
for
obvious
reasons,
so
there'll
be
that
engagement
in
community
outreach
and
then
I
believe
there
are
a
few
other
requirements
of
kind
of
the
the
mall
process.
AR
But
we,
you
know,
we
hope
to
do
this
as
quickly
as
possible,
because
we
want
to
be
able
to
kind
of
continue
to
move
forward
and
maybe
focus
on
some
other
things,
like
figuring
out
how
we're
going
to
fund
some
of
these
improvements.
So
you
know
we're
hoping
within
nine
months
at
the
latest.
We
can.
We
can
have
this
this
done,
but
we'll
have
at
least
two
times
that
we'll
be
coming
back
to
council
for.
AT
AR
Yes,
the
plan
is
to
have
it
remain
closed
to
vehicular
traffic
and
we
are
making
some
adjustments
on
the
street
to
ensure
that
we
have
the
proper
fire
Life
Safety
access
and
that
we
continue
to
have
egress
out
of
the
market.
San
Pedro
garage
onto
San,
Pedro
Street
for
for
the
just
the
South,
sorry,
just
the
North
End.
So
people
will
use
that
egress
and
they'll
make
a
quick
right
or
left
onto
St
John.
It's
the
way
that
it's
set
up
currently.
AU
AT
AU
AT
AR
AT
Great,
thank
you
very
much
one.
One
final
question:
during
the
pandemic,
the
governor
signed
an
executive
order
that
or
an
emergency
order
that
we
could
allow
alcohol
to
be
sold
outside
is
that
will
that
continue
for
The,
Pedestrian
Mall
and
the
ongoing
operation,
because
that's
a
profit
consideration
for
those
businesses.
I.
Imagine.
AR
So
there
is
legislation
that
currently
covers
I,
believe
it's
for
at
least
for
an
additional
year,
and
we
can
Circle
back
on
the
exact
timing,
but
the
current
legislation
that
allows
that
was
in
place
under
covid
that
allows
restaurants
and
bars
to
kind
of
serve
alcohol
in
their
adjacent
space.
And
so
this
would
be
kind
of
extension
of
sidewalk.
AR
Seating
would
be
that
and
that
would
allow
them
to
be
able
to
serve
alcohol
in
that
space
and
I
know
we're
working
very
closely
with
our
igr
team
to
to
watch
legislation
and
also
be
on
the
Forefront
of
advocacy
to
make
sure
that
all
of
the
any
anything
that's
happening
at
the
state
legislature
is
aligned
with
what
we're
doing
here.
So.
AT
AT
AR
There
there
is
some
direction
in
the
memo
that
the
mayor
and
a
few
council
members
put
out
about
seeking
private
sources.
Potentially
you
know
going
for
a
federal
or
a
state
ear
Mark.
So
no,
we
have
not
definitively
identified
the
sources,
but
we
do
have
a
few
ideas
and
kind
of
collectively,
as
a
team
are
going
to
do
what
we
can
to
to
figure
out
how
to
get
this
done
in
some
fashion
or
format.
Great.
AT
Y
Y
I
want
to
thank
you
staff
for
the
report
and
thank
you
to
our
fire
department
for
keeping
us
safe
and
comply
with.
If
you
know,
fire
code,
I
love
the
plan
for
the
pedestrianization
of
San,
Pedro,
Square
and
I
believe
that
our
memorandum
encapsulate
the
Grand
Vision
that
all
of
us
want
for
downtown
and
I
believe.
This
is
the
first
Pedestrian
Mall
and
the
first
of
its
kind
in
the
city
of
San,
Jose
and
I.
Y
Look
forward
to
have
the
increase
of
tourism
and
outdoor
activity
in
our
city,
including
Farmers
Market
celebration
even
special
event,
like
the
Super
Bowl
60
party,
downtown
I'm.
Glad
that
I
believe
that
we're
going
to
get
a
unanimous
vote
on
this
and
I'm
motion
for
approval
of
our
memorandum.
I'd.
C
Great,
thank
you.
So
you
know
acknowledging
that
I,
don't
fully
know
what
goes
into
The
Pedestrian
Mall
act.
Nine
months
does
sound
like
a
long
time.
So
I
just
want
to
understand.
Is
there
anything
that
were
precluded
from
doing
or
that
those
proper
property
owners
might
want
to
do?
That
has
to
wait
for
The
Pedestrian
Mall
act
to
be
enacted.
AR
R
The
Under
The
Pedestrian
Mall
act.
It
there's
really
a
90-day
window
between
the
First
Council
action
of
Our
intention
to
establish
a
mall,
a
pedestrian
mall
and
then
the
second
Council
action
to
approve
The,
Pedestrian
Mall
and
in
between.
We
need
to
notice
the
public
and
do
Outreach
and
all
of
that.
C
C
Right
so
I
certainly
understand
why
we
need
at
least
90
days,
probably
a
little
more
than
that.
I
only
asked
because
nine
months
is
a
long
time
and
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that,
if
there's
anything
that
that
is
being
held
up
by
that
that
we
would
talk
about
how
to
accelerate
that
timeline.
But
if
there's
no
impact
to
taking
nine
months,
then
I
suppose
it
doesn't
particularly
matter
and
that's
our
understanding
there's
nothing
that
our
small
businesses
along
that
Corridor
would
like
to
do.
AR
So
I
don't
believe
so,
but
I
think
that,
as
we're
going
to
work
on
this
in
the
next
couple
of
months
to
be
able
to
bring
a
resolution
to
an
of
intent
back
to
council
we'll
try
to
identify
if
anything
is
being
held
up
and
identify
that
for
the
council
but
I,
don't
believe
so
I
believe
you
know
we.
What
we
have
said
is
folks
are
going
to
be
able
to
expand
their
outdoor
sidewalk
seating
onto
the
sidewalk.
C
Okay,
good
I'm
glad
to
hear
that
the
temporary
solution
will
enable
us
to
more
or
less
move
in
that
direction.
In
other
words,
I
think
that
matters
is
that
I
think
it's
likely
to
be
a
very
long
time
until
we
have
10
million
dollars
to
invest
in
this
we'd
love
to
have
it
laying
around
but
doesn't
seem
why.
That
seems
like
something
we
will
have
to
do
incrementally
over
time
and
I.
C
Guess
I'd
like
to
understand
to
what
extent
you
feel
we
can
facilitate
the
investment
of
the
business
owners
to
the
extent
that
they
want
to
run
ahead
of
us
and
propose
Creative,
Solutions
and-
and
this
was
sort
of
reflected
in
our
memo,
trying
to
pull
down
private
dollars
to
maybe,
for
example,
paint
the
street
to
look
different
or
put
in
new
lighting
fixtures.
Are
these
all?
Are
these
the
kinds
or
put
decking
on
the
sidewalk
now
that
that's
no
longer
going
to
be
pedestrian
for
primarily
for
pedestrians,
but
for
seating?
K
We
will
be
reviewing
all
of
the
intricacies
as
it
goes
along
things
like
painting.
The
street
doesn't
seem
to
be
overwhelmingly
challenging,
changing
out
street
lights
in
terms
of
what
they're
intending
to
do
and
what
kind
of
light
throw
they
have
and
what
impacts
they
have
to
City
facilities
and
Dot's
ability
to
maintain
them
and
access
them.
The
decking
on
the
sidewalk
is
something
we're
going
to
evaluate
I
understand,
there's
an
application
in
on
it.
It
doesn't
comply
with
our
current
standards,
but
are
there
things
that
we
can
do
to
think
creatively
and
adapt.
C
Yeah,
okay,
thank
you,
Matt
and
I.
I
would
just
suggest
when
it
comes
to
something
like
sidewalk
standards,
given
that
this
is
a
very
different
straight
I
think.
Our
intention
here
is
to
maximize
the
public
use
of
the
space.
I
would
suggest
that
we
think
about,
and
maybe
you
could
even
suggest
to
council
modifications
of
that,
because
the
way
that
we
treat
every
other
sidewalk
in
the
city
might
be
different
from
one
where
we're
intending
to
use.
K
And
the
things
we
contemplate
are
what
things
are
under
the
sidewalk,
which
is
not
nothing,
and
so
what
are
those
impacts
and
availability
and
if
those
things
are
blocked
off
by
something?
How
do
we
proceed
and
so
those
things
we
need
to
evaluate?
We
have
history
and
evaluating
these
kinds
of
things
and
so
great,
we'll
review.
C
I'm
glad
I'm
glad
to
hear
you're
you're
thinking
through
that
and
that
Our
intention
is
to
be
as
flexible
as
we
can
be,
and
then
last
question
for
me
is:
do
we
have
at
this
point
a
standing
recurring
meeting
or
some
other
vehicle
through
which
we
can
work
with
all
of
the
property
owners
on
an
ongoing
basis
as
we're
exploring
what
we
want
to
do?
Hearing
from
them,
I
mean
do
we
have
some
kind
of
working
group
pulled
together,
I,
know,
council,
member
Torres
and
I
have
both
met
with
and
convened
the
property
owners.
AR
Yeah
we're
very
familiar
with
all
the
business
and
Property
Owners
along
the
street,
so
I
feel
like
very
comfortable
in
the
sense
that
we
can
pull
them
together,
have
good
conversation
and
we'll
be
able
to
kind
of
move
this
along
at
a
good
clip.
So
we've
got
mechanisms
through
our
Downtown
Association.
AR
C
I'm
glad
to
hear
that
I,
just
I
guess
what
I'm
looking
for
is
I'd
like
us
to
proactively
on
a
recurring
basis,
be
communicating
status
updates
and
what
we're
doing
I,
I
heard
heard
and
I
know
if
councilor
Torres
was
here.
He
would
second
this
a
fair
bit
of
frustration
from
some
of
the
business
owners
and
Property
Owners
about
uncertainty
and
communication.
I
know
it's
a
very
complex
issue.
We
got
a
big
city
to
manage
so
I'm,
not
I'm,
not
blaming
anyone
here,
but
I.

So
this
is
simply
depicting
what
the
change
to
the
annual
action
plan
would
be.
The
spending
would
be
in
the
fiscal
year
23-24,
even
though
we're
changing
the
1920
annual
action
plan,
Sacred,
Heart,
Community
Service
and
the
city
together
discussed
what
the
needs
were
in
the
community
and
both
of
us
agree
that
we
should
prioritize
financial
assistance
for
households
on
the
brink
of
eviction.
AV
This
is
an
eligible
use
of
the
cares
act
funds
and
we
estimate
that
these
dollars,
250
000,
could,
as
could
assist
up
to
25
households,
to
avoid
eviction
through
the
one-time
payment
of
back
rent
and
again
we're
still
spending
down
our
cdbgcv
dollars.
All
the
uses
need
to
be
related
to
the
covid
emergency
next
slide
and
I'll
turn
it
to
Emily
just
to
go
through
give
a
little
bit
more
context
and
background
as
to
what
eviction
diversion
efforts
have
looked
like
to
date.
AW
Good
afternoon
Council
to
give
more
context
about
our
division,
our
fiction
diversion
program.
This
slide
shows
data
from
the
program's
funding
and
household
serve
to
date
and
the
quickly
sorry,
the
city
quickly
developed
the
eviction
diversion
program
in
Spring
of
2022
to
mitigate
impacts
from
the
closure
of
the
state's
rent
relief
program
in
March
2022,
which
put
thousands
of
renters
at
risk
of
eviction.
AW
The
program
directly
helps
tenants
who
are
already
in
eviction
court
and
about
to
be
displeased
in
this
program's
Department
staff
Works
closely
with
court
mediators,
landlord,
attorneys
and
tenant
attorneys,
including
the
law
Foundation,
to
provide
a
one-time
rental
assistance
payment
on
behalf
of
tenants
who
are
continuing
to
experience
lingering
Financial
impacts
from
the
covid-19
pandemic
and
are
already
in
eviction.
Court
tenants
must
be
able
to
pay
the
rent
going
forward.
AW
The
div
the
diversion
program
makes
payment
directly
to
the
landlord
who
has
agreed
to
settle
the
action
and
allow
the
tenant
to
remain
in
the
unit.
Sacred
Heart
performs
final
review
approval
and
issues
the
payment,
in
addition
to
Preparing
required
reports.
In
implementing
the
first
phase
of
the
program,
the
city
was
able
to
leverage
unused
federal
emergency
rental
assistance,
Round
One
funds
that
had
to
be
spent
by
September
30th
2022..
AW
So
with
these
funds,
we
we
were
able
to
assist
65
households
and
their
landlords
before
spending
deadlines,
as
there
continue
to
be
need,
and
there
was
other
funding
identified.
We
launched
at
phase
two
of
the
eviction
diversion
program
where
Council
authorized,
the
use
of
American
Rescue
plan
act,
fund
and
major
e-funds,
and
that
phase
of
the
program
has
assisted
113
households,
families
so
far,
and
we
have
at
least
13
more
in
process.
AW
The
total
paid
out
in
these
two
phases
so
far
is
about
3.1
million
and
we
still
have
about
320
000
remaining
for
the
13
that
are
pending
and
possibly
18
more
cases.
So
the
last
row
in
italics.
This
is
the
proposed
additional
250
000
in
funding
from
cares
act,
and
it
would
be
expected,
as
Kristen
said,
to
assist
25.
Low-Income
households
and
families
avoid
eviction
and
remain
stably
housed
right
now,
our
the
iteration
of
our
program.
AW
AV
Click
on
that
talk,
we
thought
that
the
Sacred
Heart
eviction
diversion
work
was
a
judicious
choice
but
also
an
efficient
one.
Sacred
Heart
has
been
the
lead
agency
in
administering
the
city's
rental
assistance
payments,
since
April
2021
and
their
existing
contract
will
be
amended
to
add
the
250
000.
If
this
is
approved,
so
the
additional
funds
can
get
deployed
without
any
delays,
to
give
Sacred
Heart
a
little
bit
more
time
to
get
the
efficient
the
to
administer
these
additional
funds.
AV
We'll
extend
the
contract
by
four
months
through
October
31st
of
this
year
and
again
we
expect
the
assistants
will
be
able
to
enable
tenants
to
avoid
imminent
evictions
prioritizing
those
with
extremely
low
incomes
so
that
they
have
some
resources
to
settle
the
disputes
with
their
property
owners
for
reference
extremely
low
income
in
2022
in
our
County,
a
family
of
four
earning
up
to
fifty
thousand
five.
Fifty
could
qualify
so
with
that.
AV
AL
P
A
possible
with
the
horse
from
the
Horseshoe
I
would
ask
that
some
kind
of
analysis
be
done
on
where
this
allocation
can
be
increased
portfolio.
It
needs
to
be
funded
with
at
least
a
million
dollars
and
consistently
funded,
not
just
with
this
ARP
fund
and
nothing
like
that.
But
go
back
in
your
budget.
P
You
know,
go,
go,
go
and
dig
there
you're
going
to
talk
about
nine
million
dollars
going
to
build
up,
San,
Pedro,
Square,
and
then
the
next
budget
item
you're
going
to
talk
about
evictions
and
and
how
many
people
are
suffering
in
this
city
from
the
impacts
of
Kobe.
But
yet
you
bragged
about
how
somebody,
but
it
was
able
to
capitalize
on
Kobe
and
in
your
mind
you
really
think
that
you're
still
human.
You
really
think
that
you
were
still
on
this
moral
and
ethical
Paragon
and
and
I
always
exercise
moral
Authority
from
this
dies.
P
Q
All
right,
Leah,
Beekman
Paul's
embarrassed
by
the
entire
process.
I
I
can
be
in
agreement.
Sometimes
good
luck,
how
we
work
to
bring
in
all
the
disparate
parts
of
ourselves
into
kind
of
a
Healing,
Center
and
role
as
how
we
can
work
as
Government
community.
That
is
the
goal
of
what
we
try
to
do.
Good
luck
in
our
efforts
to
do
that.
Q
Thanks
also
for
Paul's
words
about
the
concepts
of
how
to
address
funding
issues
that
we
can.
We
should
be
more
open
in
how
we
talk
about
how
funding
issues
can
be
of
help
and
understanding
and
not
be
afraid
to
use
the
share
those
numbers
it's
important
because
we
end
up
hurting
ourselves
when
we're
not
more
honest
with
each
other
in
this
sort
of
reporting
at
this
time.
So,
good
luck
in
that
the
more
open
we
are.
We
have
just
have
a
smarter
Community.
Q
People
are
smarter
and
more
intelligent
and
we
have
more
better
conversations
with
each
other.
It's
my
hope
that
you
know
a
HUD
funding
has
been
like.
You
talked
about
HUD
funding
overall
very
nicely
over
the
years,
and
it's
a
very
very
much
of
a
thanks
that
in
how
you
talk
about
hedge
funding,
you
do
offer
its
many
ideas
and
programs.
It's
just
a
matter
for
ourselves
to
know,
want
to
know
and
to
know
how
to
more
openly
talk
about
what's
available
within
that
and
good
luck.
Q
How
we
can
do
that
and
to
conclude,
you
know
it
was
mentioned
yesterday
that
earthquake
retrofitting
may
work
to
displace
tenants
and
I
would
be
very
surprised
by
that,
because
earthquake
retrofitting
was
so
important
in
the
past
decade
to
get
understood
by
owners
that
it
can
be
a
safe
good
process
for
them.
I,
don't
think
they
want
to
leave
tenants
behind
good
luck,
how
we
have
open
practices
to
always
serve
the
tenants
in
an
earthquake
retrofitting
times,
thanks.
I
Thank
you,
I
know
this
is
critically
important
and
it's
always
better
to
be
able
to
work
on
the
prevention
side
before
you
have
to
worry
about.
You
know
getting
getting
worse.
You
know,
I
was
thinking
about
how
we,
how
we
take
a
look
at
this
and
since
Sacred
Heart
has
been
doing
this
for
the
last
two
years.
I
I'm
sure
there
are
a
lot
of
really
good,
Lessons,
Learned
and
I,
don't
know
at
what
stage
people
interact
with
Sacred
Heart,
whether
it's,
whether
they're
off
the
cliff
or
getting
to
the
cliff
or
or
what
have
you.
It
seems
to
me
that
you
know
when
I
think
about
and
I
know
it's
only
estimated
25
at
you
know
ten
thousand
dollars
a
piece.
I
It's
it's
to
me.
That
means
it's.
You
know
at
least
two
months
or
more
that
people
are
in
arrears,
so
I
I,
just
I,
just
wonder
as
we
look
into
the
future
and
trying
to
put
a
fun
funding
into
prevention.
You
know
what
are
some
of
the
things
that
we
could
do
earlier
on,
so
that
you
know
people
don't
fall
off
the
cliff
because,
if
we're
trying
to
catch
them
at
the
end,
sometimes
they've
gone
several
months.
I
You
know
in
a
rear,
so
I'm
just
wondering
since
they've
been
doing
it
for
the
last
two
years.
You
know
I,
don't
know
what
kind
of
lessons
learns
there
are,
but
I
would
encourage.
You
know
taking
a
look
at
that,
and
maybe
you
already
are
I
just
don't
know,
I'm
sure
you
are
but
I
thought
I'd
bring
it
up
because,
as
I
see
you
know
the
dollars
diminishing,
then
we
need
to
be
smarter,
with
what
we
have
and
being
smarter
means
that
you
kind
of
take
people
even
earlier
right.
AV
AW
Just
to
to
make
it
clear
that
there
is
the
homelessness
prevention
system,
that's
a
County,
City,
non-profit
partner
that
is
separate
from
this,
and
it's
been
over
subscribed
for
quite
a
while.
Since
the
end
you
know
during
the
same
time
frame.
So
really
this
stop.
Gap
is
trying
to
deal
with
that.
Basically,
one
person
comes
out
of
that
system
and
another
person
goes
in
so
our
first
line
of
defense
when
people
come
to
us
is
okay.
Where
are
you
at?
AW
Let's
see,
if
you
know,
let's
connect
you
to
Sacred
Heart
and
the
other
partners
to
see
if
you
might
qualify
if
there's
a
spot
for
in
the
homelessness
prevention
system,
which
is
a
more
comprehensive
holistic.
This
is
very
specific
because
we've
saw
so
many
people
that
were
just
still
trying
to
catch
up
and
they
just
the
landlords,
were
kind
of
at
their
wits
end,
and
you
know
tenants
had
the
ability
to
pay
rent
going
forward,
but
they
didn't
want
to
pay
rent
if
they
knew
they
were
going
to
be
kicked
out
for
the
other.
C
AK
P
Thank
you
Apostle
for
the
Horseshoe.
Thank
you
for
an
excellent
eye-opening
meeting.
The
the
comments
that
were
made
by
a
certain
member
of
District
Seven
did
not
go
unnoticed.
They
did
not
go
unnoticed.
I'm
gonna
record
that
and
I'm
going
to
send
it
off
to
every
single
news
outlet
and
every
single
person
in
my
network
that
I
work
with
to
make
certain
that
they
heard
that
comment
and
know
exactly
what
you
guys
are
talking.
P
I've
been
right,
the
whole
time
you
know,
I've
been
right,
I've
been
posing
legal
arguments
with
it
and
you
know
that
they're
valid.
You
know
it
for
a
fact
that
right
there
that
comment
that
was
made,
as
my
vindication
and
I'm
gonna
find
it
I
am
going
to
get
it
to
where
the
City
attorney
and
the
mayor
is
going
to
sit
there
and
say
this
man
took
us
on
any
bit:
I
already
defeated,
Ricardo
and
McHenry
by
taking
that
statue.
So
what
don't
test
me?
P
Q
This
actually
seems
a
safe
conservative,
well-structured,
well-established
and
more
efficient,
streamlined
way
to
address
young
house
and
budget
issues.
It
is
cost
savings
and
it
helps
better,
develop
safer
steps
patterns
and
goals
to
address
unhoused
issues
that
mayor
Mayhem
has
initially
tried
to
bring
into
better
focus
for
all
of
us
at
this
time
in
what
will
be
and
when
it's
also
been
a
decades-long
problem
spoken
about
by
a
housing
director,
Jackie
Morales
brand.
