A
A
C
B
That's
it
so
I'm
so
excited
to
be
chairing
this
committee.
This
is
my
first
committee
as
a
council
member.
So
this
is
an
awesome
experience
but
bear
with
me,
as
I
fumble
through
some
of
it,
I'm
sure
it's
not
unlike
chairing
a
school
board,
mem
meeting,
it's
a
slightly
different
because
the
public
engagement.
So
if
I
mess
up
a
little
bit,
please
bear
with
me
and
I
apologize
I'll
do
the
best
I
can.
B
We
have
a
huge
agenda
today
and
we
have
a
lot
to
accomplish
and
I
don't
want
to
be
here
until
10
o'clock
tonight,
because
we
have
a
long
council
meeting
tomorrow
and
we're
going
to
be
there
till
11
or
midnight
tomorrow.
So
I
I
believe
in
running
a
very
efficient
and
effective
meeting.
I
have
asked
staff
actually
to
prepare
presentations
of
around
10
minutes,
because
I
know
all
of
us
are
prepared
in
the
materials
and
we'll
listen
thoughtfully
to
the
discussions
that
are
presented
to
us
and
the
materials
that
are
presented
to
us.
B
I'm
thoughtful
about
the
time
that
we
spend
in
committee
meetings
and
I'm
also
thoughtful
and
about
the
time
that
staff
spends
preparing
for
them.
So
we
have
a
lot
of
material,
a
lot
of
information,
good
interesting
things
on
our
agenda
for
today,
and
so
we're
going
to
keep
the
presentations
shortish
the
debate
and
conversation
as
long
as
we
need
it
to
and
then
we'll
move
through
the
agenda.
So
anyone
have
any
questions,
then,
let's
just
jump
right
in
the
first
thing
is
a
little
bit
of
a
departure.
B
We
need
to
look
over
the
work
plan
and
move
item,
move
an
item
that
is
scheduled
for
our
may
24th
work
plan,
move
it
up
to
march
22nd.
We
don't
usually
move
things
up.
You
know.
Lately
we've
been
moving
things
back
because
of
covid
and
the
effects
of
panda
the
pandemic
on
our
our
staff,
timing
and
and
issues.
But
in
this
case
we
have
another
issue
that
is
complementary
to
the
anti-displacement
tenant
preference
ordinance
and
so
we're
going
to
listen
to
those
together
and
we're
going
to
move
that
up
to
our
march
22nd
meeting.
D
B
E
A
E
With
regard
to
this,
I
want
to
thank
the
council
for
paying
attention.
I
had
suggested
that
the
prioritization
of
these
particular
items
that
we
look
at
it
not
only
through
an
equitable
lens,
but
the
lens
through
which
people
are
in
need-
and
this
is
a
perfect
example
of
the
council,
seeing
the
wisdom
in
shifting
being
nimble
and
rather
than
just
directly
okay.
Well,
these
are
the
lines.
This
is
how
we
have
it
set
up,
because
we're
dealing
with
situations
now
where
human
beings
are
literally
dying.
E
E
That
has
resulted
from
that
and
many
of
these
symptoms
of
the
economic
and
social
conditions
that
we
see
now.
Are
they
of
that
kobit
only
accelerated
that,
and
so
so,
with
this
anti-displacement?
I
would
like
it
if
we
can
talk
about
that
within
the
context
of
these
conversations
when
they're,
when
they're
considered
by
the
full
council.
E
I
think
that
we
are
doing
a
disservice
to
the
community
and
to
ourselves
when
we
do
not
get
comfortable
having
extremely
uncomfortable
conversations,
I
think
eurocentric
type
thinking
in
these
with
respect
to
redlining
and
the
wealth
deprivation
and
the
social
systems
that
have
been
able
to
maintain
that
I'm
talking
parks
and
recreation,
I'm
talking
senior
commissions,
I'm
talking
even
arts
commissions.
You
know
we
really
need
to
start
getting
comfortable
normalizing
these
conversations.
So
I
look
forward
to
a
good
council
meeting
today.
Thank
you.
B
Thank
you
back
to
the
my
council,
colleagues
for
a
motion
and
any
discussion
on
moving
this
up
in
two
months
from
the
may
discussion
to
the
march
discussion.
B
Second,
any
discussion
on
that
then
do
we
need
to
do
a
roll
call
vote.
B
B
The
next
item
is
the
consent
calendar,
or
is
there
any
discussion
from
the
members
of
the
public
specifically
related
to
this
consent
item?
We
have
one
item
that
will
be
moving
to
consent
or
that
isn't
consent.
E
Thank
you.
This
is
with
respect
to
the
felon
statues
of
removal,
the
arts,
commission
fiscal
work
plan.
I
would
like
to
hello:
is
my
timer
going?
Yes,
okay,
two
minutes:
okay,
yeah!
I
just
pay
attention
to
the
timer,
though
it's
not
going
yet
so
I'll
wait
till
it
starts
okay,
good!
Thank
you.
Okay!
What
so,
with
respect
to
the
arts?
Commission,
I
really
want
to
thank
the
council
and
and
with
especially
councilman
perales,
for
his
participation
in
that
particular
meeting.
E
I
would
like
it
to
be
first
announced
here,
amongst
you
know,
amongst
the
what
the
chicano
for
that
I'm
going
to
be,
I'm
going
to
be
producing
a
documentary
around
this.
This
is
a
very
pivotal
moment
in
california,
history
and
san
jose
history,
and
I'm
going
to
create
a
documentary
I'm
going
to
pull
in
the
elders.
E
That
would
had
first
made
an
attempt
to
have
this
statue
removed
back
in
the
90s
they're
going
to
be
first
interviewed
and
we're
going
to
have
meetings
around
it,
and
I
would
really
really
like
the
support
of
the
city
on
this
particular
issue.
I'm
going
to
be
in
attendance
at
the
arts
commission
meeting
later
on
this
afternoon,
and
so
I
need
help.
I
need
the
help
of
the
city.
I'm
asking
right
now,
formally
of
the
help
of
my
city
for
assistance
with
costs
that
are
going
to
be
related
to
this
project.
E
We're
going
to
talk
about
manifest
destiny,
we're
going
to
talk
about
peter
burnett,
we're
going
to
talk
about
lena
and
stanford,
and
it
surprisingly
I
had
a
conversation
this
morning
with
mayor
gonzalez,
and
it
was
for
a
grant
proposal
that
I
asked
him
on
another
issue.
But
since
I
had
him
on
the
phone
and
he
was
the
one
that
he
okayed
the
erection
of
the
statue
in
the
first
place,
he
agreed
actually
to
have
a
conversation
and
to
participate
in
it.
E
You
know,
and
so
we
we
have
a
buy-in
from
the
mayor
that
placed
it,
and
so
I'm
just
looking
for
somebody
to
reach
out
to
me
and
because
I'm
going
to
need
some
help
with
it,
and
this
is
going
to
be
my
love
letter
not
only
back
to
the
community
but
to
the
academic
community,
to
posterity
and
for
to
show
how
people
can
non-violently
participate
in
the
democratic
process
and
move
something
as
heavy
as
a
7
000
pound
statute.
Thank
you.
A
F
A
F
A
A
Allowing
us
to
speak
today,
I
wanted
to
speak
on
the
thomas
fallen
statue.
I
know
that
this
will
be
a
matter
that
would
be
a
public
and
it
would
have
public
input,
and
I
wanted
to
know
instead
of
a
statue,
we
can
consider
having
something
that
embraces
the
people,
the
culture
and
not
a
statue.
I
think
that
we
shouldn't
have
statues
anymore
here
in
san
jose,
and
I
think
we
should
stop
glorifying
anybody
and
embrace
more
of
the
culture.
A
B
Seeing
no
more
public
comments
back
to
my
council
colleagues
and
council
member
carrasco.
G
Thank
you.
Well
I
just
I
I'm
I'm
glad
to
support
the
the
most
well.
Is
there
a
do?
We
need
to
make
a
motion
we
do
well,
then
I'm
going
to
go
ahead
and
move
this
item
and
hope
to
get
a
second
okay.
G
Thank
you
and
I'm
glad
that
we're
moving
this
and-
and
I
I
know
that
this
has
been
to
say
it's
a
controversial
item-
is-
is
an
understatement.
G
There's
going
to
be
a
lot
of
different
opinions
on
this,
I
don't
want
to
get
into
the
the
the
debate
or
the
controversy
except
to
say
that
that
that
that
there
are
a
lot
of
voices
that
are
very,
that
I'm
glad
that
a
lot
of
the
voices
have
been
heard
have
been
listened
to
and
that
we're
taking
them
into
account.
G
Of
course,
I
represent
a
community
that
has
been
very
vocal
on
this,
but
but
I
think
that
the
time
is
right
and
I
do
think
that
it's
long
overdue
to
paul
soto's
point.
I'm
glad
that
he's
here
today.
I
I
really
I'm
really
grateful
that
paul
has
stuck
it
out
with
us,
especially
during
covet.
G
He
was
present
physically
at
the
different
meetings
that
we
had
and
now
to
have
him
during
covet
is,
is
really
a
testament
of
of
of
a
sector
of
san
jose
that
has
historically
been
shut
out
and
so
to
have
him
be
able
to
voice
his
truth.
G
Our
truth
with
such
power
and
such
sincerity
and
such
honesty
is
truly
a
courageous
thing,
and
I
think
that
that
we
don't
always
acknowledge
that,
because
it's
sometimes
not
very
comfortable
to
listen
to
it's
sometimes
difficult
to
listen
to,
but
I
think
that's
why
it's
even
that
much
more
important
to
have
him
at
the
mic.
The
other
thing
I
wanted
to
say
is:
I'm
glad
that
he's
he's
embarking
on
this
project.
G
It's
it's
not
every
day
that
we
get
to
witness
a
history
that
is
not
necessarily
mainstream
and
when
we
are
unable
to
document
a
non-mainstream
history,
it
that's
the
best
and
easiest
way
to
erase
the
history
of
those
who
have
also
contributed
to
this.
What
I
consider
one
of
the
best
countries
in
the
world-
truly,
you
know
I
I
you
know
other
than
having
some
other
cultural
experiences
that
I
like
to
expose.
G
G
Seen
in
other
countries,
there's
still
an
opportunity
here
to
right
or
wrong,
but
we
we're
going
to
have
to
intentionally
right
that
wrong,
because
not
all
of
us
have
equal
opportunities,
so
we
have
to
intentionally-
and
I
think
that
that
I
think
that
this
is
the
right
time
to
right
that
wrong
and
what
may
appear
to
be
a
very
symbolic
gesture,
like
removing
a
statue
really
translates
into
how
we
consciously
move
on
writing
those
wrongs.
G
So
I
want
to
thank
paul
soto
for
always
speaking
his
truth,
because
it
reflects
the
truth
of
a
lot
of
us
that
that
that
have
lived,
similar
experiences
paul
and
I
come
from
the
same
community,
which
you
know
he
often
you
know
refers
to
it
as
horseshoe.
That's
where
we
grew
up
and-
and
I
think
I
think
paul-
we
might
be
the
oldies
but
goodies
that
are
left
from
horseshoe,
because
I
don't
know
how
many
people
will
still
continue
referring
to
themselves
as
that.
G
But
I
want
to
thank
paul
and-
and
I
want
to
thank
carrie
and
the
mayor
and
the
council
members
for
supporting
this
moment,
because
it
has
been
a
very
painful
experience
for
for
many
san
jose,
and
so
thank
you
so
much.
Thank
you.
Chair.
B
B
I
I'll
just
kick
it
off
hi
good
afternoon
committee
good
afternoon
to
the
new
committee
members
welcome
just
so
just
a
by
the
way
background.
My
name
is
carrie
adams,
happner,
I'm
the
director
of
the
office
of
cultural
affairs,
deputy
director
of
the
office
of
economic
development,
and
I
managed
the
team
san
jose
contract
on
behalf
of
the
city
manager's
office.
I
am
also
an
advisory
member
to
the
team
san
jose
board,
along
with
councilmember
perales,
who
represents
the
council
and
so
per
our
contract
with
team
san
jose.
I
We
present
updates
to
this
committee
on
a
semi-annual
basis,
but
when
we
presented
back
in
september
just
because
of
covid
and
because
all
the
impacts
of
covid
on
our
convention
and
cultural
facilities
and
the
activities
of
the
convention
and
visitor
bureau,
the
committee
asked
for
us
to
come
back.
You
know
in
in
another
quarter,
so
a
couple
months
later,
we're
here
with
you
again.
I
So
this
is
what
was
a
little
bit
out
of
our
normal
schedule,
but
we
just
want
to
keep
you
posted
on
a
very
iterative
basis
because
everything's
so
fluid
right
now,
so
I'm
going
to
keep
it
very
brief.
I'm
going
to
turn
it
over
to
john
la
fortune,
who
is
the
the
leader
at
the
helm
of
team
san
jose
right
now,
and
he
can
introduce
his
team
and
then
they're
going
to
take
it
away.
J
D
D
The
goal
for
the
year
for
the
annual
goal
is
119
821
room
nights.
At
this
point
we
only
achieved
33
of
the
annual
goal
and
again
that's
due
to
covet
and
basically
the
closure
of
the
facilities
and
we've
been
closed
since
march
of
2020,
and
we
don't
have
any
business
in
the
books
until
the
end
of
the
fiscal
year,
which
is
june
2021.,
there
is
no
occupancy
in
the
theaters
at
the
moment
has
been
for
a
while
gross
operating
revenues.
D
D
We're
not
aware
actually
over
achieving
that
30
million
dollar
again
because
of
covet
gross
upgrading
results
is
a
loss
of
1.3
million
dollars
compared
to
a
budget
of
2.2
million
dollars
loss
and
we're
ahead
of
that
goal
by
931
thousand
that's
141
percent
of
the
annual
goal
of
the
year-to-day
goal.
I'm
sorry
and
customer
satisfaction.
We
don't
have
any
information
again
due
to
covet
and
closure
of
the
facilities.
J
Okay,
this
is
ben
rashke,
vice
president
of
research
and
strategic
development.
Thank
you,
council
members.
We're
gonna
jump
around
the
larger
deck.
We
gave
you
to
try
and
keep
this
ten
minutes
just
in
interest
of
time.
I
just
wanted
to
give
a
quick
update
on
sort
of
our
status
of
efforts
around
reopening
for
future
meetings.
This
map
is
illustrative
of
the
fact
that
california
to
date,
is
the
only
state
remaining
in
the
u.s
without
any
guidelines
for
the
opening
of
meetings
we
have,
you
can
see
on
it.
J
For
us
is,
you
know
we
have
a
long
league
time
to
book
to
book
meetings
into
the
center
without
guidelines
established
to
tell
us
what
a
path
to
reopening
would
look
like
when,
as
you
know,
we
progress
through
vaccine
distribution
and
hopefully
into
better
times
we're
at
a
significant
disadvantage
compared
to
other
states
in
terms
of
competing
for
business,
to
be
able
to
book
it
into
the
city
and
then
anything
the
state
would
issue
from
a
guideline
perspective.
J
Of
course
would
have
to
also
be
sound
signed
off
on
the
county
level
to
allow
us
to
to
book
those
meetings
in
here.
So
we
mentioned
this
at
the
last
meeting,
we're
still
heavily
engaged
with
cal
travel
in
a
convention
center
coalition,
with
the
largest
convention
centers
in
cities
in
the
state
to
work
with
the
governor's
office
towards
reissuing
guidelines.
However,
it's
all
like
a
lot
of
things
with
the
pandemic.
It's
been
a
case
of
two
steps
forward.
J
Three
steps
back,
you
know
every
time
some
momentum
happens,
we've
encountered
surges
that
have
put
items
on
pause,
we're
continuing
to
move
forward
to
try
to
secure
those
guidelines,
but
as
they
come
down
from
the
state,
then
we
will
need
to
pivot
to
working
with
the
county
to
ensure
that
they're,
okay
with
the
state's
guidelines
and
then
that
will
allow
us
to
move
closer.
J
We
remain
ready
to
welcome
people
back
to
the
convention
center.
Our
our
operations
team
has
worked
diligently
on
making
sure
it's
a
safe
environment
once
it's
welcome
to
have
people
back
in
and
we're
just
continuing
our
efforts
with
our
partners
from
around
the
state
to
get
those
guidelines
secured.
J
John
great
thank
you
ben
thank
you,
ben
and
again
john
the
fortune,
ceo
of
team,
san
jose
and
just
a
quick
operations
update.
We
continue
to
use
south
hall
for
unh
or
unhoused
population
around
the
city.
We
extended
this
through.
Actually
may
we
just
extended
it
not
april,
but
to
may
through
may
2021,
and
it's
consistently
full
at
about
280
beds
per
night
during
this
time
since
april,
we've
done
food,
preparation
and
delivery,
so
we've
done
close
to
700,
000
meals.
J
To
date,
that's
breakfast
lunch
and
a
hot
dinner,
and
that's
usually
around
12
locations
throughout
santa
clara
county.
We
deliver
to
also
we
did
were
one
of
the
three
organizations
with
the
city
that
was
awarded
the
bid
started
february
1st,
where
we
have
three
contracts
ahead
of
us
all
the
way
through
the
end
of
the
year.
If
need
be
so
we
do
have
that
and
what
I
thought
would
be
great
with
the
one
of
three
organizations
to
win
that
bid.
J
We
have
decreased
in
meals
now
we're
about
10
000
per
week,
10
11
000
per
week
and
at
our
peak
in
june
we
are
at
22
000
per
week
and
then
we've
kind
of
decreased
that
whole
time.
So
the
more
meals
the
better
for
us.
We
don't
make
a
lot
of
money
on
the
meals,
but
at
least
we
get
people
back
to
work,
which
is
fantastic
in
the
area
and
last
vaccination
site.
J
We've
worked
with
the
city
to
try
to
get
a
vet,
be
a
vaccination
site
at
the
convention
center
and
we've
we've
gone
through
a
lot
of
information
given
to
the
city,
but
it's
really
up
to
the
county
and
the
county
will
decide
if
we
become
a
vaccination
site
at
the
convention
center
and
hopefully
we
do
because
we'd
love
to
give
back
to
the
community
a
little
more
any
questions.
K
K
For
the
month
of
january,
we
were
at
97
percent
of
our
goal,
which
was
in
room
nights,
8,
597,
room
nights
versus
the
goal
of
8
836
and
and
these
goals
just
so.
Everyone
is
clear.
This
is
bookings
for
at
any
point
in
the
future,
so
these
are
not
rooms
that
we're
consuming
now,
but
this
is
what
we're
booking
now
for
for
either
this
month
next
month,
or
you
know
really
it's
further
down
the
road,
as
we've
mentioned
earlier,
the
fiscal
year
to
date
performance.
K
We
are
at
75
of
our
goal,
so
that's
47,
559
room
nights
versus
the
goal
of
62
755.,
so
one
of
the
things
we've
experienced
since
covid
has
been
a
significant
reduction
in
lead
volume.
So
for
january
we
have
seen
a
slight
uptick
january.
We
received
26
leads
now
that
compares
to
103
last
year.
So
that's
down
75
percent,
but
it
is
the
highest
number
we
have
seen
since
coven.
K
I'm
also
very
happy
to
tell
you
today
it's
only
february
22nd,
but
we
have
seen
30
leads
come
in
in
the
month
of
february,
so
there
it's
too
early
to
call
it
a
trend,
but
there
is
there.
We
are
seeing
a
slight
uptick
right
now
in
lead
volume,
and
we
certainly
hope
that
that
will
continue
for
the
fiscal
year
to
date.
Through
january
we
were
at
113
leads
versus
720
last
year.
So
that's
84
down
next
slide,
please
ben
so
latest
customer
trends.
K
Customers
are
slow
to
sign
contracts.
There
is
a
little
bit
more
optimism
right
now,
but
they're
still
being
extremely
cautious.
K
So
we're
looking
at
continuing
to
diversify
our
market
segmentation
and
what
that
means
is
aside
from
the
corporate
customers
that
we
all
know
and
love.
We
need
some
more
associations.
We
need
some
more
religious,
some
cultural
events
really
a
lot
of
good
sporting
events
and
so
really
just
have
a
very
diverse
portfolio
of
customers.
K
In
the
month
of
january,
we
were
able
to
capture
or
establish
56
new
customer
connections
towards
that
goal.
Eight
of
those
are
fully
qualified
and
we
have
some
extremely
exciting
leads
directly
as
a
result
of
this
effort.
One
of
them
is
a
confidential
group
for
january
of
22,
which
is
more
than
ten
thousand
room
nights,
and
that
would
be
leaving
another
city
coming
to
san
jose.
So
we're
going
to
protect
the
identity
of
that
customer.
K
So
you
know
we're
looking
to
bring
as
many
with
good
occupancy
a
lot
of
good
things
happen
and
that's
what
our
team's
working
towards.
So
thank
you
very
much.

L
L
L
B
E
Yes,
thank
you
for
that
acknowledgement.
Councilwoman
carrasco.
I
really
really
appreciate
that.
Thank
you.
Let
me
give
you
an
example.
I
read
through
all
of
this
information
explicitly
and-
and
I
one
thing
that
caught
my
attention
is,
it
says
here
major
themes
in
pitches
involved:
al
fresco,
dining.
E
We
have
alfresco
dining
as
a
result
of
chicanos
and
latinos
dying
in
exponential
numbers
on
the
east
side
of
this
city.
The
reason
why
people
want
and
are
pushing
scott
nice
and
the
police
department
to
really
really
open
up
downtown
and
make
these
sweeps
downtown
is
because
they
were
the
first
ones
to
be
vaccinated.
E
E
E
But
why
do
we
have
al
fresco
dining
because
of
human
beings
dying?
See
this
right
that
right
there
that's
a
part
of
the
inhumanity
that
this
that's,
why
you
guys
were
real
quickly,
real
quickly,
real
quickly.
No,
let's
study
this.
This
dude
said
that
california
is
the
only
state
with
allowing
no
meetings
or
no
guidelines
for
the
reintroduction
of
meetings.
I'll
give
you
one
reason
why
that
is.
E
Human
beings
are
dying
and
I'm
a
part
of
the
race
of
those
people,
so
I
mean
the
kind
of
like
just
complete
cognitive
dissonance
that
people
can
overcome
by
coming
to
these
meetings
and
thinking
that
you're,
really
being
nice
and
humane
and
just
and
and
being
methodical
about
what
you're
doing
I've
played
chess
before,
and
I
see
exactly
all
these
chess
pieces
being
put
in
line
and
in
place
and
scott
niece
is
one
of
the
main
promoters
of
that.
Thank
you.
B
Next
speaker
is
mr
beekman.
M
Hi
happy
monday,
happy
end
of
february
to
everyone
some
interesting
words
from
paul
soto.
Thank
you
for
myself.
I
I'm
just
learning
being
so
far
behind
in
life.
I'm
just
learning
the
importance
of
hvac
systems
in
schools
and
what
the
hvac
system
will
mean
to
school
districts
in
the
next
few
months,
and
you
know
with
your
team
san
jose.
You
know
south
hall
issues
and
you
know
with
the
with
other
convention
center
issues.
M
You
know
I
just
wanted
to
remind
the
importance
of
hvac
preparation,
how
that
how
much
that
can
help
with
the
covid
process
for
our
schools
at
this
time
and
that
our
schools
they
there
can't
be
a
massive
push
towards
towards
getting
everybody
into
the
schools.
It
has
to
be
a
very
slow
process.
M
Schools,
can
you
totally
totally
understand?
I
was
going
to
totally
try
to
bring
it
back,
and
I
I
I
was
able
to
I'm
able
to
connect
it
to
how
south
south
hall
uses
the
hvac
systems
and
there's
a
need
for
the
hvac
systems,
and
I
guess
I
suppose,
a
thank
you
that
that
system
is
in
place
and
just
a
gratefulness
for
what
we're
doing
and
and
what
to
comment
to
conclude
and
comment
on
paul
soto's
words.
M
N
Yeah,
thank
you
and
thank
you
to
staff
and
the
team.
San
jose
staff
certainly
have
a
lot
of
individuals
out
of
work
that
I
know
we're
eager
to
try
and
see
if
we
can't
have
a
plan
to
get
them
back
and
in
regards
to
the
the
guidelines
I
wanted
to
see.
N
I
know
that
that
clearly
right,
we
we
we
need
to
be
cautious,
but
I
also
think
we
need
to
be
prepared,
and
so
I
want
to
see
if
there's
any
help
that
we've
been
providing
on
the
city's
end.
As
far
as
with
our
intergovernmental
relations
team
on
ensuring
that
we
can
get
at
least
the
guidelines
worked
on
and
in
place
so
that
we
have
a
an
idea
on
how
to
prepare
once
we
start
to
see
some
of
the
reopening
later
this
year.
I
I'll
start
and
I'll
also
defer
to
kim
wallish,
so
we
have
been
working
so,
as
we
all
know,
the
county
really
guides
our
county
health
orders
right.
So
this
is
really
something
that
we've
worked
through:
our
emergency
operations
center,
our
eoc
director
and
the
relationship
between
the
city
and
the
county.
I
So
I
know
that
team
san
jose
they're
also
part
of
a
statewide
advocacy
network
with
other
managers
of
convention,
centers
and
they're.
Looking
at
how
to
work
with
the
gov,
the
governor's
office
about
having
guidelines
be
more
explicit
and
the
statewide
orders
for
conventions
so
that,
obviously,
as
we
all
know,
we
need
to
plan
in
advance
right,
convention
management
and
convention
meetings.
I
Scheduling
and
planning
is
everything
so
there's
been
a
lot
of
statewide
efforts,
so,
but
what
we
were
told
through
team
san
jose
is
we
really
needed
to
work
at
it
at
the
county
level?
So
we
did
approach
the
county
a
couple
of
months
ago
through
the
eoc,
and
the
kim
can
speak
to
this
in
more
detail.
I
But
I
think
at
that
time
really
the
focus
was
just
that
was
when
we
were
really
anticipating,
like
the
winter
surge
and
just
they
were
just
so
focused
on
controlling
things
that
really
thinking
about
mass
gatherings
was
not
their
immediate
priority
and
kim
you.
You
may
want
to
elaborate
on
that
further.
If
you
have
any
additional
information
you
wanted
to
to
share.
H
Yeah,
I'm
really
sorry.
I
had
to
take
a
call
while
right
after
the
presentation
ended.
So
I
I'm
not
I'm
not
quite
sure.
Oh.
I
So
I'm
sorry
kim
the
question
was
from
councilmember:
perales
was
about
how
what
how
can
the
city
help
team
san
jose
and
getting
guidelines
for
mass
gatherings
more
explicit
at
the
county
level?
That
was,
if
I'm
summarizing
it
correctly,
council
member,
let
me
know,
but
I
think
that's
at
the
heart
of
your
question
yeah,
and
so
I
was
just
kind
of
saying
what
the
the
what
the
conversations
were
with
the
county
when
we
routed
this
question
up
through
our
city,
eoc
and
essentially
is
at
that
time.
I
H
Yeah,
that's
true,
I
think
you
know
we
have
quite
a
list
of
items
we're
working
with
on
the
county
and
we
can
certainly
maybe
reopen
the
conversation
and
continue
to
express
concern
about
this.
I
mean
it's
clearly
something
that
would
be
us
having
influence
at
the
state
level,
but
you're
right,
kerry.
It's
been
a
number
of
months,
so
maybe
it's
time
to
revisit
the
conversation
again
see
if
we
can
get
their
support.
N
Yeah,
thank
you.
I
just
you
know
appreciate
that.
I
I
obviously
understand
the
importance
of
again
what
our
team
san
jose.
You
know,
staff
is
looking
for
and
it's
the
idea
of
guidelines
is
really
just
going
to
be
able
to
help
prepare
everybody
on
on
how
we
can
get
back
into
business,
and
so
I
think,
without
the
guidelines,
certainly
everybody
is
is
waiting
to
see
how
we
might
best
prepare
and
I
think
that's
at
a
minimum
what
we
should
be
advocating
that
that
happens.
B
C
Yeah
I'll
just
be
quick,
hi
everyone,
I'm
I'm
matt,
excited
to
be
on
the
committee
new
here.
Obviously
I'm
just
to
build
on
councilmember
peralta's
question.
It
seems
to
me
there
may
be
an
opportunity
over
the
next
six
months
or
so,
where
our
weather
will
be
better
case
counts,
hopefully,
will
continue
to
decline.
C
C
Would
it
make
sense
for
us
to
have
team
san
jose,
articulate
the
kinds
of
opportunities
that
might
be
available
and
get
that
in
front
of
the
county
as
a
specific
example
of
something
we'd
like
guidance
on
sooner
than
a
more
robust
policy,
and
if
I'm
barking
up
the
wrong
tree
there?
Let
me
know
it
just
it
just
seems
like
there
might
be
this
window
where
outdoor
is
an
opportunity,
while
indoor
still
isn't.
I
I
think
that's
a
great
question.
I
think
you're
right.
We
are
at
right
time.
I
think
that
that
question
pertains
not
only
to
our
convention
business
and
the
opportunities
there,
but
also
other
types
of
cultural
activities,
not
just
in
the
downtown,
but
throughout
the
city
right
in
our
parks
and
our
gathering
spaces.
I
This
is
something
that
I
know
this
is
not
unique
to
san
jose.
This
is
what
we're
all
dealing
with
around
the
world.
So
a
lot
of
communities
have
figured
out
some
systems
and
it
might
be
time
to
re-engage
the
the
county
on
what
the
opportunities
going
forward
are,
especially
given
that
people
have
increased
percentage
of
vaccinations
right
so,
but
then
organizers
that
I
spoke
to
earlier,
whether
you're,
a
convention
manager,
meeting
manager
or
a
cultural
organizer,
you
know
they
need
advanced
planning
right.
I
They
need
to
engage
their
their
own
clientele,
their
own
communities,
those
people
that
would
be
attending
they
need
to
market
the
business.
So
there's
a
lot
of
advanced
planning
that
needs
to
take
place.
So
that's
why
team
san
jose
has
been
part
of
this
network,
but
I
know
there
are
a
lot
of
other
advocacy
organizations,
whether
it's
happening
at
the
state
or
national
organization,
but
it's
maybe
something
we
should
be
taking
that
at
the
local
level.
So
thank
you
for
bringing
these
questions
up.
G
G
L
G
Oh
and
yeah-
I
I
you
know
I
those
who
have
worked
with
my
office.
I
I
usually
the
the
feedback
I
usually
give
is
you
know
make
it
really.
You
know
friendly
to
the
viewer.
G
I
tend
to
learn
through
visuals,
more
so
than
someone.
That's
speaking
at
me
or
if
you
have,
if
you
make
me
read
a
lot,
I
just
lose
the
pleasure
of
the
experience
sometimes,
and
especially
if
you're,
trying
to
pull
me
in
so
this
to
me
is,
is
very
pleasurable
when
I
see
it
and
and
when
we're
trying
to
attract
people.
G
What,
when
I'm
trying
to
convince
my
children
to
go
somewhere,
I
I
look
for
really
fun
things
to
do
to
convince
him
to
go
where
I
want
to
go.
That's
just
my
my
method
for
those
parents
out
there
who
are
going
to
be
raising
teenagers
soon,
but
but
one
of
the
things
that
I
really
want
to
point
out
to
you
is
is,
is
you
know,
there's
some
beautiful
imagery
here
you
know
the
colors
are
great
and
and
all
these
almost
all
these
places
that
you've
pointed
out
here.
G
G
But
as
I
look
closer
there
is,
you
know
one
of
the
beauties
of
san
jose
and
one
of
the
reasons
why,
in
spite
of
the
high
cost
of
living
and
as
difficult
as
it's
it's
getting,
you
know
smack
in
the
middle
of
silicon
valley
I
stay
and
I'm
trying
to
figure
out
how
to
get
my
children
to
stay
three
teenagers
is
is
because
of
the
the
beauty
of
the
diversity
of
the
people
here
and
but
when
I
see
here,
the
brochure
my
entire
latino
community
is
missing,
and
so
it's
so.
G
This
isn't
the
first
time
that
I've
seen
a
brochure
go
out
where
the
entire
east
side
of
san
jose
is
cut
out
and
and
and
one
of
the
things
that
I
have
really
worked
hard
over
the
past
seven
years
since
I
got
into
office,
was
to
really
change
the
narrative
of
what
the
east
side,
the
narrative
that
was
written
for
for
us-
and
you
know
the
east
side-
is
really
a
beautiful
place
for
those
who
decide
that
they
want
to
venture
into
the
east
side.
G
And
so
we
need
to
make
sure
that
we
change
that
narrative,
even
in
what
we
put
out
or
what
we
choose
not
to
put
out
and
when
we
don't
put
it
out
there,
that's
still
a
narrative
that
we're
painting
out
there.
So
I
just
want
to
put
that
out
there
for
you,
because
this
is
a
marketing
tool.
G
And
so,
if
I
were
to
look
at
this,
it
would
send
a
very
clear
message
that
latinos
don't
live
in
in
san
jose,
that
we
don't
have
a
very
rich
history
of
latino
foods
and
culture,
art
a
deep,
deep,
deep,
deep
rooted
history
and
that
it
is
probably
primarily
white
and
asian
and
out
of
all
the
pieces
that
I
see
here.
It's
heavily
asian,
which
is
wonderful
because
all
my
children
have
grown
up
on
on.
G
You
know:
asian
cultures
and
the
richness
of
their
foods
and
everything
else
that
the
asian
culture
has
to
offer.
So
I'm
so
glad
that
we
live
here,
but
just
as
as
as
rich
as
the
asian
culture
is
latino
culture
mexicano
culture
is
just
as
beautiful,
and
so
I've
been
putting
it
out
there
because
I
want
to
know
how
we
can
change
that
and
I'd
like
to
see
how
we
can
make
sure
to
be
inclusive
and
and
be
proud
of
of
that
mexicano
and
latino
influence.
G
That
is
san
jose
and
in
fact
you
know.
Latino
culture,
mexicano
culture
specifically
were
the
very
first
and
I'm
not
gonna,
say
settlers,
because
we
didn't
settle,
we
weren't
settlers.
We
were
the
first
to
actually
exist
here
before
people
settled
upon
and
on
top
of
us.
So
so
I'm
going
to
make
a
request
that
before
things
continue
to
go
out
that
that
we
make
sure
that
it
goes
in
there.
So
I'm
going
to
just
point
out
a
couple
of
things.
G
If
you
were
to
go
out
to
the
east
side-
and
there
was
a
historian
that
be
interested
in
understanding
how
the
chicano
movement
even
began,
the
chicano
movement
started
with
a
with
a
very
interesting
individual
who
took
up
some
occupancy
for
some
time
on
the
east
side
of
san
jose
by
the
name
of
cesar
charles.
G
and
so
to
be
able
to
market
that
or
not
market.
It,
I
think,
is
a
missed
opportunity
to
be
able
to
invite
the
the
world
of
scholars
into
our
backyard.
G
I
think
is
a
marketing
tool
in
and
of
itself,
and
you
know
I
didn't
learn
that
until
I
went
to
uc
santa
barbara,
I
had
to
leave
san
jose
to
learn
about
that,
and
so
so
cesar
chavez's
house
still
stands.
G
G
You
know
in
the
asian
in
asian
countries,
japan
in
particular
my
17
year
old
son,
just
schooled
me
on
this
there's
a
huge
low
rider
movement,
so
la
birthed.
It
we
put
it
in
an
international
platform
famous
king
and
story.
I'm
always
going
to
keep
saying
that
famous
king
and
story
again
for
the
historian.
G
This
is
a
big
deal
for
the
japanese
tourists
big
deal,
because
that
is
where
the
low
rider
was
able
to
reach
a
whole
different
platform
that
not
even
la
you
know.
You
know
I'm
a
little
competitive
with
la,
not
even
la
was
able
to
do,
but
look
it
up
in
japan
huge
huge
deal.
You
know,
you'd
swear
that
they
popped
right
out
of
the
east
side
of
san
jose.
G
Well,
we
have
a
very
famous
skateboarder
who
who
is
now
an
extremely
wealthy
gentleman
who
has
a
collab
with
vans
and
does
all
kinds
of
stuff
in
terms
of
building
skateboards
and
now
has
a
van
collection
and
socks
and
all
kinds
of
stuff,
but
but
he
skateboarded
in
the
mayfair
area,
and
we
have
some
very
famous
skateboarders
professional
skateboarders
that
come
to
this
teeny
weeny
little
skateboard
park
right
smack
in
the
middle
of
mayfair.
G
Other
people
know
it
as
the
one
of
the
most
highly
impacted
gang
hot
spots.
Other
people
know
it
as
the
famous
little
skateboard
park
in
the
middle
of
an
unknown
little
neighborhood.
So
so
I'm
putting
it
out
there
because
in
in
one
of
the
most
established
communities
in
the
city
of
san
jose,
we
have
a
very,
very,
very
rich
history
that
I'd
like
to
see
reflected,
and
these
are
iconic
spots
that
are
not
that
are
not
moments
that
are
are
not
moments
that
are
defined
by
fashion
or
flash
in
the
pan.
G
Temporary.
You
know
instances
that
are
going
to
close
down
they've
been
there
for
decades,
40
50
60
years
in
the
making,
and
I
would
love
to
be
able
to
see
that
and
showcase
it
there's
so
much
there
and
and
and
we
just
have
to
make
sure
that
we
really
do
profile
it
somewhere
and
like
paul
soto,
who
is
embarking
on
this
great
project
to
showcase
the
history.
G
We
have
to
be
able
to
memorialize
it
in
our
marketing
tools
and
let
the
world
know
what
san
jose
has
it's,
not
just
a
coffee
shop,
which
is
great.
I
love
the
coffee
shops,
let's
go
and
get
a
great
coffee,
but
what
about
the
history
that
is
embedded
in
our
city,
that
maybe
people
would
love
to
go
see?
Maybe
a
tour
of
the
murals
that
are
popping
up
everywhere
and
we
can
go
see
the
murals
all
around
downtown,
but
what
about?
On
the
east
side?
G
They've
been
there
for
decades,
unfortunately,
one
that
was
painted
over,
but
we
have
so
many
murals
out
there
that
tell
a
story
of
people
who
are
no
longer
with
us,
but
they
help
build
this
city
so
anyway.
So
I
just
wanted
to
make
sure
that
we
added
that-
and
I
hope
that
I
can
see
some
of
that
in
some
of
these
tools
in
the
future.
Thank
you.
G
F
F
You
know
san
jose,
has
the
largest
latino
community
in
northern
california
wouldn't
know
that
to
look
at
this
and
and
we
have
a
lot
of
beauty
and
culture
and
activities
and
councilmember
caskel
just
talked
about
plata
royal
skate
park
and
you
know,
but
you
wouldn't
know
any
of
those
things
to
look
at
this,
and
if
I'm
planning
on
a
staycation
and
and
bringing
you
know
some
teenagers
with
me
and
I'm
looking
for
some
cool
stuff
to
do
we
they're
here,
those
things
are
here
and
they're
in
all
parts
of
the
city
and
and-
and
you
know
again
to
see
to
see
us
be
erased
from
the
marketing
of
our
city
is-
is
shocking
to
me
and
I
would
hope
that
that
would
change
moving
forward.
L
May
I
hi
this
is
laura
again.
May
I
please
address
the
council
members
sure
of
course,
first
thank
you
so
so
so
very
much
telling
the
story
of
san
jose
is
incredibly
difficult
because
it
is
so
vast
and
filled
with
so
many
wonderful
things
and
so
much
wonderful
history
and
so
many
wonderful
stories
we're
honored
at
team
san,
jose
that
we
get
to
be
that
we
get
to
even
be
play
a
small
part
in
it.
L
I,
however,
that
said
we
will
make
sure
moving
forward
that
that
artists
continue
to
embrace,
especially
the
things
you
pointed
out,
and
I
look
forward
to
sharing
those
with
you
all
very
very
soon
and
again.
Thank
you
very
much
and
I
look
forward
to
the
discourse
in
the
dialogue
that
comes
from
this.
Thank
you.
L
F
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
I
I
there
was
a
comment
that
I
had
meant
to
include,
which
is
again.
If
I'm
planning
my
staycation,
if
I'm
going
to
to
learn
about
other
cities,
you
know
I
san
jose
is
the
birth
of
a
civil
rights
movement
right.
We
we
have
a
lot
of
cultures
and
places
for
people
to
go
and
go
to
events
and
spend
their
money
and
see
beautiful
parts
of
the
entire
city.
F
So
I
just
wanted
to
add
that
point
that
there's
a
lot
of
history
combined
with
things
to
do
that,
I
hope,
would
be
included
in
the
next
iteration
thanks.
N
N
I
think
one
of
the
things
that
our
city
lacks,
because
we're
not
necessarily
a
tourist
destination,
is
something
that
major
cities
have
which
are
tours
and
and
laura.
As
you
know,
you
spent
several
hours
with
me
as
I
toured
you
around
the
city
of
san
jose
and
and
and
really
incorporate
all
of
the
the
the
wonderful
history
you
know
I
would
like
to
save
in
the
many
different
sides,
but,
quite
frankly,
even
in
a
four-hour
tour
of
the
city,
we
didn't
touch
west
san,
jose
south
san
jose.
N
You
need,
you
know
you
need
a
day
to
get
around
the
entire
city
and
to
really
just
to
sort
of
see
that
so
I
I
can
respect
it,
it's
going
to
be
impossible
to
try
and
incorporate
you
know
all
that
is.
That
is
truly.
You
know
exciting
about
our
city
into
a
small
ad
like
this,
but
I
do
think
that
if
indeed
the
idea
is
to
sort
of
say
hey
we
want
to,
we
want
to
have
these
different
elements.
N
I
do
think
that
that,
as
my
colleagues
pointed
out,
the
hope
would
be
right
that
that
some
of
the
next
artists
are
incorporated
some
as
some
of
those
other
areas
of
san
jose
some
of
the
other
stories
and
and
hopefully
what
we
see.
What
gets
gets
woven
together
is,
you
know,
is
a
is
a
nice
complete
picture.
I
don't
know.
At
least
I
didn't
hear
it
until
you
responded
here,
but
I
didn't
hear
that
described
in
the
beginning
sort
of
what
is
the
you
know.
What
is
the
end
result
of
this?
N
You
know
this
marketing
here
that
you
just
stated
that
this
is
the
beginning.
So
what
is
the
end
result.
L
Thank
you
councilmember.
Sorry.
It
took
me
a
minute
to
unmute
myself
this
for
this,
particularly,
it
was
to
focus
on
our
small
businesses
that
were
open
and
that
could
be
access
now
to
try
and
help
them,
since
our
hotels
are
closed.
L
So,
as
you
know,
we're
not
only
a
venue
management
company,
but
we're
also
the
destination
marketing
organization
tasked
to
fill
our
hotels
and
grow
the
tot
as
best
we
can
so
with
this
and
this
artist
series
we're
hoping
to
give
artists
a
place,
local
artists,
where
they
can
showcase
their
san
jose
in
an
effort
to
show
how
special
and
how
diverse
san
jose
is
to
drive
overnight
stays,
contribute
to
the
t.o.t
and
grow
the
pots
of
money
that
the
tot
contributes
to.
That's
the
that's
the
long.
N
I
hope
so
you
know
that's
helpful
and
I
think
what
one
way
we
can
be
helpful
to
you,
you
know,
would
be
to
help
identify
some
local
artists
that
might
actually
be
able
to
to
help
paint
a
picture
right
from
some
of
these
other
areas
of
the
city,
like
a
local
artist.
That
can
help
tell
a
story
from
the
east
side,
as
councilmember
kolasko
pointed
out,
and
and
certainly
we
have
those
artists,
so
I
think
that's
one
of
the
things
that
we
can
do
to
help.
N
You
would
be
to
just
raise
up
some
names
for
you
and
I'm
happy
to
do
that
offline
I'll,
encourage
my
colleagues
to
do
the
same
right
that
way.
Hopefully
we
can
see
one
of
these
artists
and
and
maybe
they're
going
to
be
able
to
bring
in
that
perspective.
That
is
not
your
tradition.
I
mean
when
you
look
at
this.
This
is
this
is
really
focused
within
the
core
of
of
of
the
city.
N
N
I
think
that
we
can
help
you
and
if
you
haven't
already
identified
individual
artists,
like
that
within
the
chicano,
latino
community,
or
or
specifically
those
that
maybe
have,
because
you
could
be
in
the
chicano
latino
community
and
still
sort
of
be
focused
in
the
downtown
core.
As
we
know,
we
have
plenty
of
artists,
so
it
would
be
somebody.
I
think
that
it
might
have
a
broader
perspective
on
on
some
of
the
other
parts
of
the
city.
B
Okay,
there
are
two
more
council
members,
who'd
like
to
speak,
I'd
like
to
bring
this
conversation
to
a
close,
so
we
can
move
on
to
the
next
one,
so
council,
member
esparza
and
then
council,
member
carrasco,.
F
Thank
you
I'll
appreciate
that
I'll
be
brief.
I
do
not
cut
out
our
latino
community,
please,
okay,
I
mean
I
I
and
and
latinos
are
in
the
downtown
core
and
there's
barry
essa,
there's
little
saigon,
which
is
the
east
side,
and
if
we're
trying
to
generate
business
money
for
businesses,
we
have
plaza
garabali
on
santa
clara
street,
where
if
they
make
incredible
food
and
have
mariachi
playing
outside,
we
have
tropicana
at
king
and
story.
F
We
have
a
great
history
of
panaderias
of
mexican
bakeries
who
all
over
the
city.
I
know
we
all
have
our
spots,
my
favorites
in
the
east
side,
but
I
won't
say
which,
because
we'll
start
a
little
war,
but
but
I
I
I'm
pointing
that
out,
because
we
have
been
erased
so
whether
it's
just
the
downtown
core
which
this
actually
includes
berryessa
and
little
saigon,
so
it's
not
just
the
downtown
core
is
do
not
erase
us.
F
Please
hear
that
and
there
are
many
many
many
latino-owned
businesses
throughout
our
city
that
need
our
help
as
much
as
anybody
else,
and
so
so
that's
what
we're
saying!
Please
hear
it!
Please
act
on
it.
There
are-
and
it's
a
strange
thing
to
have
to
fight
for
that
here
in
san
jose,
because
when
you
go
to
other
parts
of
the
state,
they
are
like
really
impressed
with
san
jose.
F
They
know
about
all
these
cool
things
happening
in
the
city
that
apparently
we
don't
brag
about
ourselves,
whether
it's
our
history,
whether
it's
our
culture,
whether
it's
our
food,
whether
it's
our
music
or
our
art,
we've
just
been
erased
from
the
city's
own
marketing
materials.
G
So
now
I'm
going
to
just
echo
what
council
member
esparza
said
because
some
of
them,
maybe
as
I
look
at
the
brochure
even
more
so
some
of
them,
may
be
exclusive
to
the
core
I
hadn't.
I
hadn't
noticed
that,
because
of
what
I
was
looking
at
was
barry
essa.
I
was
looking
at
the
flea
market.
I
was
looking
at
little
saigon.
G
It
none
of
it
really
screamed
core
to
me.
What
screamed
to
me
was
just
hey
where,
where
am
I
you
know,
I
was
just
looking
at
the
absence
of
the
latino
community
and
I
was
looking
at
the
absence
of
of
the
east
side
of
san
jose
and,
if
you're
going
to
look
at
a
staycation,
so
I
I
don't
know
if
this
is
being
marketed
to
the
residents
themselves
or
the
regional
area.
G
But
if,
if
you're
doing
that,
then
I
would
say
you
know
you
know
even
doing
some
sort
of
a
which
may
call
it
a
a
treasure
hunt
or
a
scavenger
hunt.
You
know
something
fun
like
that
might
be
interesting.
You
know.
Where
is
you
know
the
blue
face?
G
You
know
the
blue
face
happens
to
be
by
the
way
at
mexican
heritage
plaza
in
inside
the
plaza,
and
so
you
know
you
can
say
where
is
you
know
the
oldest
street
in
the
city,
by
the
way
that
happens
to
be
alam
rock?
That
leads
to
the
oldest
park
in
the
state
of
california
we're
about
to
celebrate
the
150
years
of
its
establishment?
G
So
you
know,
where
is
that
you
know
and
and
as
councilmember
sparza
just
noted,
I
didn't
know
anything
about
the
famous
little
skate
board
park
until
my
son,
the
17
year
old,
mentioned
it
to
me
because
he
was
on
a
skateboard
blog,
and
so
he
was
on
it
with
international
students
and-
and
this
is
when
he
was
15
so
two
years
ago-
maybe
three
years
ago.
Actually
he
mentioned
it
to
me
and
and
was
asking
me
you
know,
do
you
know
about
this
little
skateboard
park?
That
happens
to
be.
G
I
think
it's
in
your
district,
the
district
that
you
represent
and
I'm
like.
Well,
I
have
no
idea,
I
don't
know
anything
about
that,
and
so
I
didn't
even
know
about
it
until
he
saw
it
on
an
international
blog
of
skateboarders
and-
and
that
says
to
me
that
we
haven't
been
marketing
it
even
to
our
own
folks,
because
I
was
completely
oblivious
to
it
until
my
my
my
teenage
son
told
me
about
it,
who
heard
it
from
international
skateboarders.
So
so
you
know
I.
I
just
think
that
we
can
do
we
we.
G
This
is
great.
I
think
it's
a
good
start.
I
think
it
gives
us
a
place
to
launch
from,
and
there
is
so
much
to
talk
about,
but
I
think
that
that
we
haven't
truly
grasped
the
beauty
of
san
jose
and
bragged
about
it
nearly
enough,
and
I
think
that
just
the
last
thing
I'm
going
to
say
is
I
I
really
want.
G
I
really
hope
that
you
can
hear
what
council
member
spars
has
said
it
and
it
comes
down
to
just
very
simply,
you
know
we're
just
nowhere.
There
there's
no
representation
of
a
latino
community
at
all
and
whether
you
want
to
you
know.
I
see
this.
It
takes
up
an
entire
corner
where
it's
asking
for
you
to
go
pick
up
your
art
supplies
at
a
at
a
at
a
little
store.
G
I
don't
know
where
it
is
exactly,
but
at
the
same
time
I
could
be
saying
pick
up
your
folklorico
dresses
at
tropicana
or
pick
up
your
you
know
your
spices
at
you
know
at
the
little
mercado
on
on
story
road
I
mean,
there's
it
it's
it.
We
could
be
supporting
all
kinds
of
other
businesses
that
are
also
hurting
just
as
much
so
I
I
just
think
that
there
is.
There
is
room
to
support
the
diversity
that
is
san
jose.
G
I
love
san
jose.
I
may
have
even
chosen
to
put
up
the
mexican
heritage
plaza
tower
versus
sharky,
because
I
don't
think
sharky
needs
as
much
advertisement
as
the
small
businesses
on
the
east
side.
So
that's
just
my
opinion,
but
but
I
think
that
there
is
room
for
a
latino
influence
versus
versus
leaving
us
out
completely.
So,
okay
I'll
leave
it
at
that.
But
thank
you
so
much
for
for
listening.
I
May
I
I
this
is
scary.
I
just
want
to
real
quick
just
briefly.
If
you
could
just
wrap
it
up,
please
I'm
going
to
wrap
it
up
really
quickly
and
just
say.
Thank
you
for
all
this
input.
I
just
want
to
emphasize
that
this
is
one
piece
that
is
part
of
a
much
larger
organization's
set
of
very
comprehensive
strategies.
I
I
That
is
not
to
tell
the
entire
story
of
san
jose,
but
it's
the
first
of
the
series,
but
all
of
your
input
is
very
well
taken
and
we
take
it
to
heart,
and
I
know
that
this
team
and
its
marketing
team
really
want
to
do
their
best
to
serve
all
of
san
jose
and
make
sure
that
all
communities
are
benefiting
from
the
work
that
they
do.
So.
Thank
you
I'll
leave
it
at
that.
Thank
you.
B
Thank
you
and
I'd
just
like
to
say
that
I
really
appreciate
councilmember
carrasco,
esparza
and
perales
for
bringing
up
that
issue.
It
is
important
that
we
represent
all
aspects
of
the
cultural
influences
within
the
city
of
san
jose
and
I
think
the
message
was
loud
and
clear
that
we
need
to
include
that
in
the
next
few
marketing
pieces
that
come
out.
So
I
appreciate
the
discussion
and
the
dialogue
so
with
that,
let's
vote.
C
B
I
hope
that
the
convention
pandemic
decreases
and
that
we're
able
to
get
the
convention
back
and
running
in
six
months
or
so
whenever,
whenever
it's
safe
to
do
so.
Moving
on
to
the
next
item,
which
is
the
construction,
crane,
height
guidance
policy,
we
have
a
presentation.
O
Okay
good
afternoon,
I'm
judy
ross.
The
assistant
director
of
aviation
here
at
the
airport
and
with
me
today
includes
drew
niemeyer
who's.
Our
deputy
director
of
planning
and
development
and
ryan
sheilan,
our
airport
planner
and
today
I'll
present
to
you.
The
study
on
the
construction,
crane,
height
guidance.
O
The
intent
of
the
study
was
to
find
flexibility
to
allow
additional
permanent
building
height
in
the
downtown
and
the
deer
down
station
areas.
The
study
was
completed
in
early
2019
with
the
city
council,
adopting
the
new
building
height
limits,
based
on
what
we
call
turps
and
the
trips
are
defined
as
the
multiple
instrument
approach
and
departure
aerospace
services
that
the
faa
has
the
regulatory
responsibility.
O
One
the
public
meetings
with
the
development
community
by
the
pbce
construction
developers,
roundtable
and
also
staff
met
with
several
individual
individual
developers
upon
their
request,
and,
secondly,
we
met
with
the
faa
to
discuss
what
were
some
opportunities
to
work
together
to
further
allow
construction
crane
height
in
the
critical
areas.
And
thirdly,
the
staff
met
with
the
major
air
carriers
and
airlines
for
america,
which
is
the
association
that
represents
the
major
air
carriers
and
they
supported
the
efforts
to
address
the
construction
cranes.
O
The
fa
has
an
airspace
obstacle
analysis
process
which
reviews
the
part
77
and
terps
procedures
the
park.
77
is
a
safety
notification
surface
that
requires
this
middle
of
what
they
call
a
form.
7460
and
the
terps
review
is
a
safety
and
protection
of
instrument
approaches.
The
faa
does
not
protect
for
the
oei
which
we
dealt
with
that
two
years
ago,
and
why,
which
is
why
this
city
in
2019,
determined
to
protect
the
aerospace
to
the
turp
surfaces,
thus
allowing
higher
permanent
building
heights
next
slide?.
O
A
staff
worked
with
our
aerospace
consultant
to
study
the
various
approach
and
departure
procedures
over
the
downtown
and
the
deer
down
station
areas,
as
you
can
see,
from
the
three
scenarios
depicted,
each
color
represents
a
different
procedure
that
has
a
different
shape
and
elevation
and
they
are
stacked
on
top
of
each
other.
These
scenarios
will
be
used
by
staff
to
work
with
the
faa
regarding
our
input
into
the
faa's
aerospace
obstacle
and
analysis
process,
several
iterations
of
the
airspace
protection
scenarios
were
developed
based
on
input
received
from
the
stakeholder
meetings.
O
Each
scenario
attempted
to
balance
the
needs
of
the
development
community
for
additional
temporary
construction
crane
height
and
the
airline's
ability
to
safely
operate
out
of
an
airport
and
what,
in
protein
departure
procedures
were
the
most
critical
to
them.
I
like
to
note
that
each
airline
does
not
have
they
all
don't
have
the
same
procedure.
They
each
have
different
primary
and
secondary
approach
procedures
scenarios,
one
and
two
are
not
shown
because
they
were
primarily
focused
on
air
service
protection.
O
Where
scenario
three
focused
on
more
of
a
balance
between
the
airline's,
primary
and
secondary
approaches
and
departure
procedures
and
trying
to
find
additional
height
for
the
construction
cranes
feedback
from
the
development
community
was
the
developers
consistently
mentioned
that
they
needed
more
hype
and
a
response
staff
and
any
response
staff
had
developed
a
couple
more
iterations
of
the
aerospace
protection
scenarios,
even
from
three,
so
staff
continued
to
review
the
approach,
approach
and
departure
procedures
for
opportunities
to
allow
additional
crane
height,
and
that's
where
you
see
scenario,
3a
and
3b
on
this
particular
slide.
O
Okay,
these
maps
show
the
additional
green
light
gain
from
the
permitted
building
height
representational
to
just
for
reference
purposes.
This
map
shows
two
high-rise
projects
under
construction,
the
200
park,
avenue
and
adobe
north
tower.
You
can
see
from
scenario
3
to
3a
to
3b,
you
see,
the
greatest
height
increases
are
in
the
deer
down
station
area
and
east
downtown,
with
minor
increases
in
the
downtown
core,
and
this
is
due
to
the
downtown
core
being
impacted
by
the
airport's
most
critical
and
precise
approach.
The
instrument
landing
system
are
what
we
call
the
ils.
O
In
addition,
we
need
to
protect
the
backup
procedures
in
case
the
ils
goes
out
of
service,
for
example,
of
high
increases.
The
north
end
of
the
deer
down
station
area
ranges
from
10
feet
in
scenario,
3
up
to
60
feet
in
scenario
3a
above
the
building
heights
or
3b
above
the
building
heights.
And
while
if
you
look
at
the
location
of
the
200
park
avenue
in
the
downtown
core,
the
temporary
construction
cranes
may
range
from
30
to
40
feet
above
the
building
height,
not
much
gain
between
all
about
three
scenarios.
O
Okay,
we've
been
talking
mostly
about
the
instrument
procedures
now
we'll
shift
to
what
the
impact
would
be
on
each
of
the
scenarios
to
our
air
service.
This
chart
shows
potential
weight
impacts
for
our
airports
for
long-haul
markets,
the
top
two
markets
are
international
and
the
bottom
two
markets
are
domestic.
O
The
aircraft
depicted
in
the
international
market
includes
the
boeing
787,
which
is
currently
in
service
at
the
market
and
the
boeing
triple
seven,
which
is
a
growth
aircraft
in
the
market.
The
domestic
market
aircraft
are
represented
by
two
versions
of
the
airbus
and
then
the
boeing
737,
which
all
aircraft
are
currently
serving
the
respective
markets.
O
The
impact
is
generally
during
the
south
flow
operations
that
is
aircraft
departing
to
the
south
and
occurs
approximately
13
of
the
time,
and
mostly
in
the
winter
months,
which
we
consider
october
to
the
end
of
march
our
winter
months,
and
it's
not
an
everyday
occurrence
in
the
worst
case
in
the
international
market.
Specifically
is
the
asian
market,
which
is
the
upper
left-hand
section,
looking
at
the
worst
case
in
scenario,
3b,
the
787
has
the
potential
to
lose
a
significant
portion
of
passengers
in
the
beijing
market.
However,
the
aircraft
configuration
amongst
different
carriers
can
change
greatly.
O
For
example,
a
a
has
a
215
passenger
configuration
due
to
the
multiple
classes
of
seats
and
consideration
that
tokyo
is
closer
than
beijing.
It
may
not
have
the
greatest
impact
as
the
hainan
aircraft,
with
the
290
seat
configuration
also
in
the
international
market.
British.
Moving
on
to
the
european
market
on
the
upper
right
side,
british
airways
has
a
216
seat
configuration
and
with
london
being
closer
than
frankfurt.
O
It
too
may
have
a
less
of
an
impact
and,
as
you
can
see,
on
the
bottom
half
of
the
screen,
the
domestic
apartments
appear
doable
with
the
aircraft
that
are
currently
servicing
serving
the
market,
even
in
the
worst
case
scenario
of
losing
17
passengers
on
the
737
to
hawaii,
which
still
results
in
a
90
load
factor
which
we
feel
is
a
dual
low
factor
and
in
later
slides.
We'll
suggest
how
airlines
may
be
supported
if
any
passenger
and
cargo
would
be
required
to
be
removed.
O
O
Staff
can
work
with
the
faa
and
the
airlines
to
look
at
different
scenarios,
but
at
the
end
the
faa
does
make
the
final
decisions.
The
construction,
queen
guidance,
is
also
to
include
the
fa,
making
decisions
of
no
hazard
and
include
any
recommended
conditions
that
may
include
things
such
as
obstruction
lighting
and
marking
on
the
temporary
construction
cranes.
The
faa
recommends-
and
they
wanted
us
to
stress
this.
O
The
fa
recommends
that
the
dollar
developers
submit
for
an
airspace
feasibility
study
for
permanent
and
temporary
structures,
including
construction
cranes
as
early
as
possible,
and
they
said
ideally
would
be
during
the
land
procurement
phase.
So
that's
early
on
work
that
we
asked
the
developers
to
do
so.
They
can
get
a
sense
of
what
the
face
determinations
will
be,
and
I
do
want
to
point
out.
The
airport,
the
airlines
and
developers
are
all
impacted
and
the
construction
grading
diamond's
attempt
is
to
ease
some
of
those
impacts.
O
O
Slide:
okay
before
you
is,
I
want
to
accept
the
findings
of
the
the
study,
but
I
wanted
to
emphasize
on
the
second
bullet.
Steph
will
be
preparing
the
construction
grain
guidance
dock
and
to
include
development
to
be
included
in
all
development
permits
for
the
downtown
core
and
the
deardom
station
area.
That
requires
the
temporary
construction
cranes
and
to
include
three
methods
for
developers
to
help
minimize
impacts
to
air
service,
and
they
are
utilizing
crane
jumps
to
minimize
duration.
O
I
mentioned
ways
in
which
we
can
assist
the
airlines
that
may
be
impacted
by
reduction
of
passengers
and
cargo,
and
that
is
to
direct
staff
to
explore
a
landing
fee
reduction
program
for
all
air
carriers.
That
may
impact
that
passenger
and
cargo
weight
penalties
due
to
the
height
of
construction
cranes
in
the
downtown
core
in
the
deer
down
station
area.
And
then
we
ask
the
cross
references
to
the
full
council
on
march
9th.
So
I'm
available
to
answer
any
questions
and
thank
you
for
allowing
me
to
present.
B
Great
thank
you
for
the
presentation.
I
remember
one
of
the
first
issues
that
I
had
to
vote
on
as
a
council
member
was
the
oei
and
how
interesting
that
was
to
learn
about
something
that
I
had
no
idea
about.
This
is
a
little
bit
of
an
expansion
of
that
policy.
So
I
I
I
it's
interesting
and
I
felt
like
I
had
a
little
bit
of
background
because
I
knew
I
had
the
oei
experience
a
couple
years
ago.
E
Thank
you,
paul
soto
from
the
horseshoe
I
that
this
is
a
really
interesting
conversation
with
regard
to
the
airport.
The
thank
you
for
that
presentation
that
helped
me
a
lot
get
a
very
comprehensive
understanding
of
how,
when
we
make
decisions
to
allow
a
developer
to
build.
Oh
we'll
just
go
ahead
and
just
build
it.
You
know
just
we
need
more
housing,
we
need
more
housing,
we
need
more
housing
and
they
get
it
built.
E
Look
at
how
many
nuanced
details
go
into
the
overall
production
of
that
and
how
many
disruptions
in
every
single
facet
of
our
lives
are
impacted
by
the
implementation
and
the
erection
and
the
completion
of
these
buildings.
I
mean
I,
I
think
we
really
need
to
start
taking
a
look
at
that.
You
know
and
and
and
I'm
so
glad
I
made
this
meeting.
E
Okay,
you
can
make
a
not
even
a
correlation
but
a
causative
effect,
because
they
have
access
to
that
information
me.
As
a
citizen.
I
don't
I'm
just
able
to
put
the
pieces
together
because,
like
I
said,
I
know
how
to
play
chess.
I've
played
chess
before
so
I
know
what
my
what
my
opponent
is
doing
and
my
opponent
are
the
people
that
are
coming
to
the
city
and
have
absolutely
no
investment
in
the
actual
citizens
that
make
below
seventy
thousand
dollars,
in
fact,
they're
hoping
that
they
would
just
leave
just
get
out
of
here.
E
So
what
I'm
asking
for
is
protection,
I'm
asking
for
the
council
and
this
committee
to
make
sure
and
ensure
that
we
as
a
city
are
protected
this
six-month
window
as
soon
as
the
as
soon
as
they
get
their
license
for
it
and
this
six-month
window,
I'm
going
to
be
watching
for
that,
I'm
going
to
make
sure
that
those
cranes
come
down
in
six
months.
Thank.
B
M
Thank
you.
I
guess
you
know
a
big
thank
you
to
everybody
for
working
on
this
issue
and
what
I
assume
is
some
incredibly
important
work
by
the
airport
commission
to
really
you
know,
mellow
out
and
hammer
out
a
really
good
arrangement
of
what
to
expect
for
our
future
downtown
high
rises
in
in
the
airport
runway
area,
and
I
think
you
know
the
the
incredibly
high
you
know
stories
that
you
wanted
to
initially
build
are
just
unacceptable
and
un
and
unpop
and
impossible.
M
Basically,
and
the
airport
commission
really
made
the
attempts
to
bring
really
realistic,
good
ideas
that
I
think
paul
soto
would
be
interested
in
about.
You
know
just
more
practical
applications
of
the
same
things
that
you
know,
chamber
of
commerce
and
city
developers
want.
M
You
know
I
mean
I
think
they
brought
in
a
really
good
ideas
to
the
project.
I
hope
their
ideas
are
listened
to
in
the
initial
plans.
You
know
the
future
of
runway.
The
future
of
travel
to
brazil
would
be
cut
off
completely
the
the
travels
the
future
travel
to
south
america,
and
I
hope
you
know
that
that's
that's
being
re-instigated
reinstituted
and
it's
the
airport
commission
that
is
going
to
help
develop
those
ideas.
M
I
hope
this
is
just
the
six-month
plans
and
that
you
know
future
travel
to
southeast
asia
is
going
to
be
incredibly
important.
I
think
to
san
jose
through
all
of
southeast
asia,
and
you
know
I
hope
this
six-month
window
of
crane
building
you
know,
will
not
interfere
with
with
that
good
future
and
and
and
just
a
good
future.
We
can
plan,
and
so
thank
you
for
the
this
does
take
an
effort
of
everyone
to
to
work
on
and
understand,
and
that's
just
where
I'm
coming
from,
I
I
feel
it
can
be
of
help.
A
Good
afternoon,
chair
foley
members
of
the
committee,
scott
niece,
san
jose
downtown
association,
you're
exactly
right.
This
is
a
continuation
of
the
policy
that
was
put
in
place
two
years
ago,
allowed
higher
buildings
to
be
built
downtown,
and
now
we
need
crane
guidance
to
help
us
build
those
taller.
Buildings
really
want
to
thank
airport
director,
john
aiken
and
judy
and
the
team
for
their
collaboration
to
get
to
this.
A
This
guidance
that
is
being
presented
today
and
one
thing
I
I
would
like
to
add
to
judy's
excellent
presentation
is:
we
also
had
the
construction
companies
in
the
outreach,
and
it
was
very
clear
that
it
made
no
sense
at
the
very
beginning
to
put
a
crane
up
to
its
full
height,
even
though
that
has
happened
in
the
downtown.
A
It's
it's
so
much
more
inefficient
and
the
the
companies,
and
we
had
more
than
one
just
talked
about.
You
know
there
is
some
extra
expense
of
jumping
the
crane
when
you
get
up
to
the
height.
But
the
whole
idea
here
was
to
minimize
the
time
that
we're
up
in
that
air
space
and
trying
to
get
that
into
this
six
month
window
and,
if
possible,
if
it
happens,
you
know
to
do
it
during
the
summer
when
we
have
so
few
departures
turned
around
to
the
south.
A
So
I'd
like
to
again
thank
everybody
who
worked
so
well
on
this.
The
we're
interested
in
continuing
the
collaboration
as
you've
got
this
recommendation
to
kind
of
come
back
with
a
reduced
landing
fee
and
if
that's
going
to
be
correlated
to
a
future
permit
fee,
we
certainly
want
to
get
more
details
on
all
of
that.
Thanks.
N
Yeah,
thank
you.
Thank
you,
staff
for
the
presentation
on
this
very
complicated
I
know
subject,
and
certainly
it's
taken
a
lot
of
in-depth
analysis,
but
in
an
attempt
to
try
and
both
achieve
some
great
heights
maximum
heights
in
the
in
the
downtown
core
and
not
impede
on
our
airport.
It
obviously
is
impossible
because
we
have
our
airport
with
the
pathways
leading
right
over
our
downtown
and
so
just
appreciate
the
the
the
depth
of
the
analysis.
N
That's
gone
on
here
and
I
will
be
moving
approval,
but
I
did
have
one
question
and
that
was
in
regards
to
an
ability
that
we
may
have
to
have.
I
guess
a
fee,
or
maybe
a
I
don't
know
a
fine
would
be
the
more
correct
term
for
any
developments
that
may
go
beyond.
N
For
instance,
this
suggested
six
months
time
frame
of
your
your
ukraine,
maximum
height
of
the
crane
and
I'm
thinking
specifically
in
regards
to
developments
like
the
silvery
tower
development,
where
you
know
it's,
it's
literally
been
delayed
years
and-
and
we
had
cranes
erected
in
our
sky
for
years
on
that
development,
it
is
still
not
fully
complete
and
and
what
that
impact
may
have,
and
how
do
we
sort?
O
Councilman,
if
I
understand
your
question,
it
would
be
a
landing
fee
reduction
program
and
that
would
be
for
the
flights
that
would
be
impacted
as
they
depart
that
have
had
to
remove
passengers
or
cargo,
and
just
to
give
you
perspective
of
what
that
fee
would
be
on
a
737
800.
It's
probably
right
around
650
700,
a
landing
key,
the
other
one
it
was
787
landing
fee
for
each
line
is
right.
Now
is
around
sixteen
hundred
dollars.
O
So
what
we
would
do
is
go
back
and
study
how
we
could
work
with
the
community
to
generate
the
funds
to
support.
That
program
has
been
some
initial
research
from
our
cio
who
identifies
it's
actually
would
be
considered
a
support,
program
and
we'd
have
to
work
through
the
details
and
how
that
could
be
funded
and
by
the
by
the
cranes
that
are
impacted
by.
N
N
Could
we
also,
additionally
have
a
a
fine
if
there
is
someone
that
goes?
You
know
well
beyond
you
know
a
six-month
time
frame
of
of
having
their
cranes
up
in
the
air
again
with
the
with
the
prime
example
that
we
have
of
of
the
silvery
towers
development
that
that's
in
the
downtown
core,
so
is
there
something
we
can
have
that
would
have
teeth
on
the
back
end?
N
What
it
sounds
like
we're
contemplating
here
is
a
program
that
maybe
is
a
fee,
generates
revenue,
and
then
we
can
use
that
revenue
to
offset
the
cost,
maybe
that
these
air
carriers
have,
but
I'm
still
not
seeing
a
some
sort
of
disincentive
to
a
developer.
That
may
be.
You
know
again
the
the
prime
example
silvery
towers,
that
has
a
train
in
the
air,
for
you
know
three
years,
and
so
is
there
legally
that
we
can
put
in
regards
to
disincentivizing
that
and
having
say
a
fine
attached
to
that.
O
It's
something
that
I'll
note
to
for
us
to
explore
as
we
develop
the
the
program.
So
today's
action
is
to
direct
staff
to
explore
the
program,
and
I
made
a
note
to
take
a
look
at
the
fine
issue,
two
for
those
that
go
past
a
certain
time
period
or
the
six
months.
N
Okay,
thank
you,
yeah.
That
that'd
be
the
only
piece.
I
think
that
I'm
comfortable
with
the
suggestion
of
this
this
feed
program
and
where
we
maybe
can
generate
a
a
fund
to
help
offset
what
losses
the
air
carriers
are
facing.
N
But
I
just
think
that
you
know
we
really
need
to
to
encourage
the
development
community
to
actually
complete
their
their
projects
in
a
you
know,
timely
manner,
specifically,
I
think
again,
if
there's
something
that's
so
egregious
that
that
it's
way
beyond
the
general
term
of
what
it
may
take
for
a
high-rise
and
a
crane
to
be
up
in
the
in
the
sky.
N
This
is
not
typical,
but
we
have
seen
it
specifically
in
our
own
downtown
and
I
think,
if
you're
in
some
other
cities,
where
you're
not
impacting
an
airport,
no
big
deal
right.
I
guess
it
takes
takes
long
and-
and
you
know
you
sort
of
you-
wait
for
that
project
to
be
completed.
But
in
our
case,
we're
now
talking
about
butting
up
against
right,
our
art,
our
our
airplanes
operations,
our
airports
operations,
and
we
have
to
be
cognizant
of
that,
and
we
can't
just,
I
think,
have
a
a
six-month
policy
without
teeth.
N
We'd
have
to
have
something
in
there
that
that
actually
is
the
teeth
to
to
discourage
developers
from
lagging
and
dragging
out
development,
as
we've
seen
in
in
the
case
with
with
that
project
downtown.
So
that
would
be
my
only
suggestion
at
the
moment.
Thank
you
for
the
briefing
that
that
you
provided
me
as
well,
ahead
of
time
and
I'll
move
approval.
B
Is
there
a
second
second
any
other
discussion,
and
I
I
have
a
comment
just
to
piggyback
what
councilmember
perala
said.
I
agree
that
we
really
need
to
take
a
look
at
a
fee
or
find
some
sort
of
fine
structure
for
developers
who
are
far
exceeding
the
six-month
timeline,
because
that's
going
to
have
a
negative
impact
on
our
airlines
and
and
as
our
airlines
are
struggling
and
we
want
them
to
survive
and
and
grow
and
and
move
more
passengers
around
and
bring
them
into
the
city
of
san
jose
to
create
economic
growth.
B
Here
we
need
to
make
sure
that
those
cranes
aren't
causing
an
obstacle
for
for
our
airports,
our
airport,
so
I
I
would
like
to
see
some
sort
of
fee
structure
or
fine
implemented
or
brought
back
in
the
proposal
with
that
judy.
Thank
you
so
much
for
your
presentation.
Let's
vote.
B
B
Okay.
Moving
on
to
the
next
item,
which
is
a
review
of
council
policy
council
policy,
priority
number
seven
universal
development
fee
kim.
Are
we
going
to
hear
this
in
conjunction
with
the
fee
study,
work
plan
or
two
separate
presentations.
H
B
P
P
P
While
it's
possible,
the
city
could
pursue
pursuing
a
universal
fee.
That
would
cover
cover
everything.
It
would
be
kind
of
time
and
resource
intensive
and
present
potential
legal
challenges.
So
the
approach
proposed
then
was
to
pursue
this
development
fee
framework,
which
I'll
talk
a
little
bit
more
about
in
a
second
and
there's
further
direction
from
council
at
that
time,
that
the
framework
itself
would
not
result
in
any
increase
or
decrease
to
your
existing
fees
or
taxes.
P
We
had
actually
conducted
one
outreach
meeting
and
had
things
ready
to
go,
but
then
it
was
that
meeting
was
cancelled
because
of
the
the
shelter
in
place,
order
that
went
in
place
in
march
of
last
year,
and
so
that
report
became
the
information,
informational
memo
and,
and
some
of
our
outreach
got
a
little
bit
delayed
as
we
went
through
the
pandemic,
so
just
to
some
further
information
development
fee
framework.
P
What
do
we
mean
when
we
say
that
we're
we're
intending
to
provide
a
structure
that
will
guide
implementing
plan
changes
to
existing
fees
and
taxes,
specifically
for
multi-family
residential
development?
P
P
This
is
from
our
previous
analysis
in
our
report
on
the
cost
of
residential
development.
So
you
know
these
are
the
ones
that
we
chose
to
focus
on
since
they
represent
such
a
significant
cost
to
to
the
make
up
such
a
substantial
portion
of
the
cost
to
residential
development.
So
the
inclusionary
housing
ordinance,
as
I'm
sure
you're
more
familiar
with,
requires
all
new
for
sale
and
rental
to
provide
15
new
units
on
site
as
affordable
or
pay
an
in-lieu
fee
based
on
a
20
obligation.
P
P
And
then,
as
was
mentioned
at
the
beginning,
pns
is
at
the
beginning,
stages
of
reviewing
and
recommending
updates
to
this
and
that'll
be
the
next
item
on
the
agenda
and
then,
lastly,
there
are
two
two
construction
taxes.
The
building
and
structures
tax
is
a
special
tax
specific
to
street
enhancement.
P
P
So
those
are
the
three
so
as
we
were
thinking
about
the
framework,
there's
sort
of
three
elements
that
we're
proposing
that
will
better
help
align
the
structure
of
these
major
development
fees,
so
the
metric
of
calculation,
the
development's
typology
and
then
geography
and
I'll
talk
a
little
bit
about
each
of
those.
P
So
for
the
metric
of
calculation
so
sort
of
how
is
the?
How
is
the
fee
assessed
or
how
is
it
calculated?
P
What
we're
proposing
within
the
context
of
the
fee
framework
is
that
it
should
be
based
on
square
feet
and
specifically
net
rentable
square
feet,
and
and
that
we
would
also
have
a
shared
definition
of
that,
so
that
you
know
in
in
all
three
of
these
situations,
you're
basing
it
off
the
same
sort
of
definition
rather
than
you
know,
per
unit
or
versus
you
know,
other
other
factors,
so
the
inclusionary
housing
ordinance
as
you're,
probably
familiar.
P
The
parks
in
lieu
fees
are
currently
charged
based
on
land
values,
on
real
estate,
multiple
listing
service
areas
on
a
per
unit
basis
and
there's
distinctions
made
between
the
different
development
typologies,
single-family
attached,
single-family
detached
multi-family
two
to
four
units
and
over
five
units
and
there's
also
a
separate
category
for
high-rise
and
then
tax.
Lastly,
taxes
that
I
mentioned
are
based
on
on
building
valuation.
P
We
have
some
basis
in
this
now
with
our
high-rise
program
for
the
inclusionary
housing
ordinance
there
there's
no
current
delineation
by
type
except
for
high-rise
in
the
downtown
core
and,
as
I
mentioned,
parks
already
has
a
basis
in
in
typology,
and
I
think,
as
as
a
part
of
the
update,
pns
is
going
to
be
looking
at
that
a
little
a
little
bit
more
in
depth
and
the
construction
taxes
are,
as
I
said,
based
on
building
type,
then
the
third
element-
development
geography
so
trying
to
better
align
over
time.
P
You
know
the
basis
for
these
fees.
Some
are
currently
city-wide.
Some
do
use
use
a
map
and
aligning
those
those
geographic
areas
so
that,
when
we're
sort
of
looking
at
one
area
of
the
city
and
across
these
fees,
they're
kind
of
using
this
the
same
shared
geographies
so
as
a
part
of
the
inclusionary
housing
ordinance
changes
being
proposed
to
tomorrow
at
council
that
there's
a
a
new
area
or
geography
being
proposed
that
that's
based
on
planning
areas
and
I'll
talk
a
little
bit
more
about
that.
P
In
a
second
and
as
I
mentioned,
car
parks
fees
are
based
on
mls
districts
and
the
taxes
are
currently
assessed
city-wide.
So
what
we're
proposing
is
that
the
iho
areas
can
be
a
starting
point
for
the
fee
framework
to
be
used,
as
we
look
at
other
future
changes
to
fees.
P
So
the
iho
areas
were
based
on
our
planning
areas.
We
made
modifications
to
them
only
only
to
clarify
there
were
some
boundaries
that
weren't
really
tied
directly
to
kind
of
natural
or
man-made
boundaries.
Either
you
know
a
river,
a
creek,
a
road
or
or
things
like
that,
and
then
we
there
are
some
southern
areas
that
were
combined
in
that
that
are
unlikely
to
have
kind
of
a
lot
of
activity
so
felt
it
made
sense
to
combine
those
in.
P
So
this
is
the
map
of
those
areas,
as
you
can
see
very,
very
similar
to
the
planning
areas
that
we
we
already
have,
and
so
there's
one
additional
item
as
part
of
this
council
priority
that
was
combined
together,
it
was
previously
a
separate
priority,
part
of
the
housing
crisis
work
plan
regarding
the
the
timing
of
payment
for
residential
units,
the
goal
to
align
when
fees
are
paid
closer
to
certificate
of
occupancy
versus
at
a
time
of
permit
issuance.
P
So
this
has
some
benefit
to
housing
projects
in
terms
of
their
their
costs,
and
so
this
already
aligns
with
the
goals
and
the
inclusionary
housing
ordinance
or
sorry.
This
already
aligns
with
the
practices
in
the
inclusionary
housing
ordinance.
So
this
will
be
another
aspect
that
we
look
at
as
as
we're
making
changes
to
fees
in
the
future.
P
So
we
had
one
outreach
meeting
recently
on
february
11th.
We
had
about
36
attendees,
the
group
was
composed
of
market
rate
and
affordable
developers,
and
housing
and
parks
advocates
some
of
the
feedback
we
received
highlighted
here.
P
Questions
about
how
it
relates
to
pio
pdo.
I
think
the
overall
feedback
was
the
overall
approach
was
viewed
positively
by
by
those
in
attendance.
They
mentioned
that
the
deferral
closer
to
occupancy
is
helpful.
E
Good
afternoon,
once
again,
thank
you
for
that
paralysis.
I
appreciate
you
doing
that.
I
think
that
the
taxes
need
to
be
an
exorbitant
rate
to
disincentivize
the
developers
from
prolonging
their
construction.
So
thank
you
for
that.
With
respect
to
this,
if
there
ever
was
a
policy
that
we
need
the
racial
equity
office
in
and
become
intimately
versed
in,
what's
happening
in
this
particular
meeting,
it's
this
one.
We
really
need
to
get
comfortable
talking
about
redlining,
how
it
affected
parks,
how
it
affected
land
use,
how
it
affected
taxes.
E
You
see,
we
have
it
we're
moving
we're
putting
a
filling
over
a
cavity.
We
haven't
drilled
the
cavity
so
that
we
can
put
the
feeling
on
top
of
it.
You
see
and
there's
beneficiaries
of
our
lack
of
will,
our
lack
of
political
courage
to
confront
willow,
glenn
and
the
rose
garden
and
other
areas
that
have
been
historically
the
beneficiaries
of
these
just
going
through
presentations
and
not
paying
attention.
I
am
I'm
well
educated
with
these
areas.
I
have
a
red
line:
the
redlining
map
of
san
jose
that
wasn't
talked
about
in
this
particular
meeting.
E
So
it's
this
kind
of
just.
Let's
just
forget
about
that
happened,
then
there
nobody's
benefiting
from
it,
and
we've
used
an
equity
lens
in
order
to
promote
land
distribution,
taxing
and
parks,
and
so
I
mean
what
kim
wales
and
and
just
rally
are
doing,
they're
so
used
to
just
passing
these
kinds
of
memos
through
people
approving
them
and
them
going
through
without,
but
nobody
checking
it.
So
I've
been
watching
this
whole
time
and
it's
it's
it's
it's
not
going
to
happen
anymore.
It's
just
not.
M
Hi
yeah
to
kind
of
try
to
add
to
what
the
previous
speaker
just
spoke
about.
You
know
this
was
a
nice
presentation
and
it's
with
an
issue
that
I
mean
we've
all
just
been
waiting
for
to
have
a
structure
to
the
future
of
inclusionary
fees.
For
I
guess
you
know
for
high-rises
in
downtown
area
I
mean,
I
think,
that's
something
we're
just
waiting
for
and
maybe
a
way
to
address.
What
paul
was
saying
was
that
you
know
why
not
treat
this
item.
M
You
know
to
its
proactive
measures
you
know
and
and
offer
its
good
offer
what
its
intentions
will
be.
So
we
all
have
clear
rules
of
the
road
in
the
future
that
developers
need
to
pay
their
fair
share,
and
you
know,
and
to
go
into
a
bit
of
a
a
study
about
that
during
the
public
meeting
process.
M
I
think,
would
help
all
of
us
out
and
I
don't
think
we
would
feel
so
miserable
or
shameful.
You
know
about
what
we're
doing.
I
mean
we're
trying
to
build
a
more
sustainable
future
right
now
and
you
know
to
understand
the
the
value
of
profit
and
profit
margin.
I
mean
we
just
had
a
item
in
pispis
that
high-rise
buildings
can't
have
certain
protections
fire
protections
and
the
fire
department
has
to
go
through
a
whole
bunch
of
poops.
M
So
there
is
something
wrong
with
the
fee
system,
and
currently
there
is
not
you
know,
it's
gone
really
cheap
for
developers
that
will
have
to
move
back
to
they're
gonna
have
to
pay
a
bit
more
soon
in
the
future.
M
I
hope
we
can
be
ready
for
that,
and
this
continual
back
and
forth
has
been
tiring
and
I
just
hope
we're
ready
to
really
build
that
future.
Why
not
make
this
time
at
public
comment
at
public
meeting
space
to
explain?
You
know
these
good
practices
and
and
this
good
future.
These
are
the
ideas
of
equity
and
why
not
explain
to
the
public
thanks
a
lot.
B
B
Great,
thank
you.
If
there's
no
comments,
I
I
actually
have
a
question
regarding
the
the
questions
at
the
back
at
the
outreach
meeting
jared.
What
do
we
do?
What
have
we
done
with
that
information?
It
seems
like
they,
the
the
attendees
had
some
interesting
questions
and
input.
How
do
we
follow
up
on
that,
and
how
do
we
circle
back
with
them
about
that.
P
Yeah-
I
I
guess
maybe
I
wasn't
explained
that
way,
but
I
think
most
of
those
questions
were
answered
at
the
meeting.
I
had
a
live
kind
of
question
and
answers,
so
I
and
I've
had
some
also
subsequent
individual
one-on-one
conversations
with
some
of
those
folks
from
the
meeting
to
to
kind
of
further
answer
their
questions
and
and
comments
as
well.
So
I
think
and-
and
I
probably
failed
to
mention-
I
think
we
also
plan
to
have
more
outreach
opportunities
to
have
these.
P
The
the
type
of
conversations
as
well
with
you
know,
related
to
the
fee
framework.
As
we're
continuing
to
you
know,
iterate.
So.
P
B
I
think
that's
what
would
be
really
helpful
for
them,
because
they're
trying
to
figure
out
if
the
development
is
going
to
make
sense
to
them
and
if
the
fee
structure
keeps
changing
or
there's
they
don't
have
a
sense
of
what
the
number
will
be
if
it's
a
number
now
in
the
beginning
and
changes
at
the
end,
that's
very
difficult
for
them
and
their
finance,
finance
or
financier,
and
then
they
won't
get
the
project
built,
whether
it's
affordable
housing,
low-income
housing
or
market
rate
housing.
Okay,
with
that,
let's
vote.
M
B
I
B
For
you
on
this
item
and
with
me
I
have,
are
you
able
to
see
it's
small,
but
we.
A
B
B
Yeah:
okay:
here
we
go
okay,
so
again,
sorry
for
that,
nicole
burnham,
deputy
director
with
the
department
of
parks,
recreation,
neighborhood
services
and
with
me
I
have
rebecca
ross
who's,
a
supervising
planner
with
our
department,
and
we
are
here
to
dovetail
on
what
jared
was
just
talking
to
you
about
with
regard
to
the
park
impact
fees.
B
This
is
a
program
that
has
not
been
evaluated
and
really
looked
at
in
a
number
of
years.
Not
only
have
we
not
adjusted
our
fees
since
2017,
but
the
program
itself
was
implemented,
one
of
the
ordinances
in
the
late
80s
and
one
in
the
early
90s,
and
we
really
have
never
revisited
them.
It's
been
a
while.
It's
also
been
a
while,
since
we
have
evaluated
how
developers
are
given
credits
for
private
recreation,
amenities
and
and
really
just
holistically
how
this
program
works.
So
we
are
embarking
on
a.
B
B
So
so
we
have
embarked
on
engaging
a
consultant
to
support
us
and
to
help
evaluate
our
current
fees
and
our
current
program.
B
We
are
close
to
making
a
selection
and
announcing
the
selection,
the
consultant,
but
we
wanted
this,
this
item
in
the
agenda,
to
dovetail
with,
with
the
with
the
overall
fee
that
the
fee
framework
discussion
that
jared
gave
you,
but
the
good
news
is
about
us
being
so
early
in
the
process,
is
that
this
gives
us
an
opportunity
very
early
on
to
hear
your
feedback.
B
B
The
the
concept
and
our
request
for
qualifications
included
a
really
robust
outreach
plan
so
that
we
could
have
a
stakeholder
group
engaged
deeply
with
us
and
with
the
community
and
with
housing
and
really
help
us
make
sure
we.
We
are
able
to
develop
some
equity
in
this
framework,
but
I'm
going
to
let
rebecca
kind
of
explain
the
overall
program
and
kind
of
what
the
work
plan
is
and
the
schedule
for
that
so
and
our
expectation
is
that
we're
going
to
be
here.
H
Thank
you.
I
think
nicole
hit
on
most.
This
is
rebecca
ross.
Sorry
excuse
me
supervising
planner
for
parks,
recreation
and
neighborhood
services,
nicole
hit
on
most
of
the
major
points
of
what
the
intention
and
the
goals
of
the
work
plan
are.
H
So
what
you
see
before
you
is
our
timeline
projected
to
the
end
of
next
year
and
what
we
hope
to
accomplish
first,
so
we're
in
the
very
beginning
stages
where,
as
nicole
said,
we're
close
to
selecting
that
consultant
and
awarding
a
contract
by
the
end
of
march
and
then
we're
going
to
move
into
a
slow,
step-by-step
process
to
start
working
towards
at
this
fee
study
that
will
primarily
be
used
to
inform
the
council
members
and
the
public
about
steps
going
forward
and
in
as
best
we
can
to
align
it
with
other
city
priorities
such
as
the
inclusionary
housing,
the
inclusionary
housing
ordinance
and
the
development
fee
framework.
H
We
expect
that
we're
going
to
start
a
community
outreach
this
summer
and
we're
going
to
have
a
very
robust
public
outreach
plan.
It's
going
to
have
an
ex
equity
lens
with
that
as
well,
and
but
we
can
share
that
reports
about
that.
When
we
come
back
in
six
months
and
with
that,
I
can
open
it
up
for
questions
about
the
timeline
or
the
work
plan
or.
E
Yes,
thank
you
for
that.
I
would
hope
that
the
council
will
consult
zuma's
office
and
really
bring
in
first
of
all,
we
have
to
start
talking
about
redlining
and
how
that
created,
the
resource,
funding,
tax
base
and
beautification
of
willow,
glen
and
the
rose
garden,
but
at
the
same
time
it
was
at
the
expense
of
it's
not
just
that
they
got
a
piece
and
I'm
envious
of
it.
My
mother
and
father
had
to
suffer
on
the
east
side
with
absolutely
no
resources
in
the
book,
the
devil
in
silicon
valley.
E
You
see
kids
playing
in
open
sewers
because
the
the
allocation
of
funds
was
going
to
the
infrastructure
that
set
up
willow
glen
the
way
that
it
is
now
I
mean
look
at
how
beautiful
it
is,
isn't
it
grand
to
just
go
over
there
to
willow
glen
park
and
the
bike
lanes
and
the
streets
and
the
canopied
trees
see
unless
we
start
normalizing
and
I'm
really
making
an
attempt
to
make
them
normalize.
You
will
hear
me
talking
about
this.
E
You
see
when
you're
dealing
with
these
non-profits
here
in
san
jose
and
because
they
mouth
equity
with
their
mouth
they're.
Not
at
these
meetings,
I
am
at
every
single
council
meeting
from
start
to
finish.
I'm
at
every
single
committee
meeting
start
to
finish.
I
read
every
single
one
of
these
memos
highlighting
with
pens-
and
I
do
my
homework
so
and
I
don't
mean
this-
to
sound
arrogant
as
it's
gonna
sound.
E
M
Hi,
thank
you
to
kind
of
conclude
from
my
previous
item.
You
know
I
I
it
is
a
balance
that
that
staff
has
to
do
to
present
items
to
the
public.
You
know
I
just
feel
there
can
be
ways
to
to
to
talk
about
the
ideas
of
the
last
item
in
this
item.
M
You
know
that
are
I
don't
know
I
use
the
word
proactive
that
you
know
can
just
you
know,
maintain
a
neutral
territory
for
both
developers
and
to
the
ideas
of
equity
that
that
these
next
three
items
are
all
a
part
of.
I
can't
be
a
part
of,
and
it's
okay,
to
use
that
language.
You
know,
there's
a
certain
fear
that
that
language
will
be
somehow
inciting
and
it
would
be
detrimental,
but
it
it.
You
know.
M
I
think
it
would
just
improve
our
our
our
community
and
our
communication
with
each
other
and
the
ways
we
talk
to
each
other
and
we
can
get
out
of
you
know,
years
and
decades
of
fear.
We
have
just
to
talk
about
things
openly
and
honestly,
and
you
know,
because
I
mean
there's
a
lot
of
study
of
equity
within
city
government.
That's
not
talked
about
openly
and
publicly,
and
it
should
be-
and
you
know
it's
those
efforts
we
can
make
right
now
and
to
bring
that
back
to
this
item.
B
C
B
C
You
can
call
me
matt,
yeah
I'll,
certainly
move
to
accept
the
report.
I
don't
know
if
you
want
to
wait
on
a
second
question.
Thank
you.
Do
you
have
a
quick
question?
I
I
realize
now
I
probably
should
have
raised
it
on
the
last
item,
but
they're
obviously
inextricably
linked,
and
I
guess
the
question
is,
as
we
do
future
analysis
of
fees,
I'm
curious.
C
I
also
wonder-
and
I
really
just
want
to
be
educated
on
this-
because
I
could
be
wrong,
but
we
spent
a
lot
of
time
talking
about
one-off
fees
and
not
a
lot
of
time
talking
about
the
ongoing
tax
base
and
revenue,
at
least
from
my
from
what
I've
seen.
I
couldn't
be
wrong
about
that,
but
I
would
love
to
better
understand
if
we
could
somehow
accelerate
streamline,
get
more
of
the
development
we
want
faster.
What
does
that
actually
mean
in
hard
numbers
in
terms
of
the
ongoing
tax
base?
C
H
Yeah
councilmember
man-
I
I
believe
it's
probably
time
to
take
a
look
at
that
again.
We
we
did
that
in
the
context
of
creating
and
then
doing
the
first
four-year
review
of
that
envision
2040
plan,
and
it
was
really
quite
stark.
We
did
a
lot
of
education
of
council
members
about
how,
under
california's
tax
and
fiscal
system,
one
of
the
reasons
we
care
so
much
about
preserving
employment
lands
is
they're.
The
only
net
fiscally
positive
land
use
that
we
have.
C
H
And
they
are
how
we
pay
for
the
services
to
our
neighborhoods.
You
know,
as
you
know,
94
of
our
residential
lands
are
single-family
and
we're
sort
of
that's
the
way.
It
is
that's
not
going
to
change
and
and
taken
as
a
whole.
Those
are
our
well
lost
leaders,
they're
fiscal
losers
for
us,
and
it
remains
to
be
seen.
H
High
density
housing
appears
that
in
its
early
years
it
can
be
fiscally
positive
or
fiscally
neutral,
but
we'll
see
what
happens
over
time,
because
it's
of
course
subject
to
prop
13
constraints,
on
revenue,
growth
and
and
all
of
that.
So
when
we've
looked
at
the
cost
of
development,
we've
tended
to
look
at
it
in
a
pretty
sophisticated
way,
but
in
a
static
way,
and
so
I
really
think
your
suggestion
is
a
good
one,
and
especially
every
time
we
get
new
council
members,
it's
important
to
go
over
material.
That
is
is
kind
of
understood.
H
You
know
by
people
that
have
been
here
for
a
while.
So
I
know
you
understand
this,
you
know
now
because
you've
written
about
it,
but
I
do
think
that's
a
good
suggestion.
We
have
to
figure
out
how
and
when
to
do
that.
C
Great
thanks,
yeah,
I
would
love
that
and
I'll
I'll
follow
up
offline
to
get
access
to
what
you've
previously
done.
I
just
I
know
in
business.
It
was
always
about
recurring
revenue
right
trying
to
get
lock
in
that
ongoing
revenue,
but
I,
but
I
also
understand
the
the
special
constraints
we
face
with.
H
And
spur
did
a
really
great
report
about
san
jose's
fiscal
situation
a
number
of
years
ago
that
that
involved
working
partnerships
and
others.
So
it's
a
pretty
well
documented
situation
is.
H
B
And
I'll
just
add:
okay
from
a
park
fee
perspective,
you
know
the
the
next,
the
the
guiding
framework
for
our
park
fees
is
actually
state
statute
and
legislation
right
that
that's
mandating
that
we
try
to
get
three
acres
of
parkland
for
every
one
thousand
new
residents.
So
I
don't
know
how
it's
something
we
can
certainly
explore
and
think
about,
but
I
don't
know
how
to
meet
that
state
governance
in
the
context
of
you
know
looking
at
more
at
ongoing
revenue.
So
that's
something
you
have
to
think
more
about.
C
A
Good
afternoon
councilmember
foley,
we
do
have
a
short
staff
presentation
on
the
item,
so
blog
is
lalit
with
the
office
of
economic
development,
downtown
manager,
and
I'm
here
today
here
today
with
my
colleagues
from
economic
development,
sal
alvarez
and
jessica,
zank
and
ryan
smith
from
the
department
of
transportation.
A
I
And
we
are
looking
forward
to
some
implementation
here
over
the
next
few
months.
The
the
other.
A
Note
that
I'd
like
to
make
is,
is
concerning
coven
both
having
taken
our
staff
prioritization
a
little
bit
of
that
time
away,
but
also
has
impacted
the
funding
that
was
originally
anticipated.
I
From
sal
and
ryan,
and
how
we're
trying
to
approach
that
moving.
A
Q
Thank
you
vlogging.
Hopefully
the
screens
are
working,
though,
are
they
supposed
to
a
good
afternoon?
Members
of
the
community?
My
name
is
stella
alvarez
in
the
office
of
economic
development.
I've
had
the
privilege
to
work
art
with
our
consultant
city
id
on
this
project.
This
topic
may
be
familiar
with
some
of
the
committee
members,
but
we
have
a
few
new
members
and
I
want
to
make
sure
we
get
a
little
background
on
wayfinding.
Q
So,
for
example,
I'm
thinking
of
a
mental
map.
If
someone
has
not
been
to
downtown
in
a
little
while-
and
you
say,
hey,
let's
meet
up
for
lunch
at
san
pedro
square
market
and
they
respond
well.
Where
is
that,
and
you
could
just
reply?
Well,
it's
just
down
from
the
old
spaghetti
factory
and
people
are
like.
Oh
yeah.
I
know
where
that
is.
I've
been
to
the
old
spaghetti
factory,
that's
kind
of
an
example
of
how
we
sort
of
created
a
mental
map
in
our
minds
and
how
we
orient
ourselves
to
our
surroundings.
Q
So
why
is
wave
finding
important
and
for
downtown
san
jose
much
of
our
economic
activity,
as
we
heard
a
little
earlier,
centers
around
event
life,
so
sharks
games,
concerts
conventions,
special
events
like
christmas
in
the
park
and
which
is
more
so
than
your
normal
everyday
activities.
Q
Q
Q
So
you
arrive
to
your
destination,
could
be
the
convention
center
could
be,
sap
could
be
sofa,
it
could
be
geared
on,
and
then
you
have
to
figure
out.
How
am
I
going
to
get
to
my
next
destination?
So
the
idea
is
to
to
create
that
welcome
when
you
get
there
and
a
series
of
handoffs
to
get
to
your
intended
destination.
Q
This
time
last
year
we
were
poised
to
procure
a
prototype
of
our
navigation
or
what
we
call
a
mesh
product
and
that
was
put
on
hold
as
we
were.
As
blogging
mentioned,
we
were
assigned,
as
oed
staff
were
assigned
to
the
eoc
to
respond
to
the
coronavirus
pandemic
and
that
response
was
prioritized
citywide.
Q
The
effects
of
coven
19
in
the
downtown
also
impacted
our
pilot
areas,
so
we
were
originally
going
to
test
the
pilot
between
san
jose
state
and
the
deer.
The
mchenry
convention
center
and
as
we've
heard
earlier,
sally
state
has
now
has
gone
to
remote
learning
classes,
so
there
are
virtually
no
classes
or
events
on
campus
and
then
all
conventions
and
events
have
been
cancelled
in
our
city
and
not
just
in
our
city
but
across
the
state,
as
our
earlier
as
well.
E
Q
And
so
here's
some
images
of
stakeholder,
engagement
and
I'll
show
you
a
list
of
stakeholders
that
we've
worked
with
closely
along
the
way,
and
so,
of
course,
the
downtown
association
and
team
san
jose
have
been
very,
very
active
participants
so
of
mobility
advocates
like
walk
san
jose
the
bicycle
coalition
and
right
east
side,
san
jose,
along
with
bta
mtc
and
san
jose
state
university,
so
you're
just
sort
of
a
partial
list
of
organizations.
Q
It's
actually
a
pretty
good
list
of
organizations,
but
we
have
actual
individuals
names
which
we
decided
not
to
share
them
right
now
and
then
here's
some
examples
of
the
user
testing
that
happened
in
front
of
the
kennedy
convention
center
during
the
nhl
all-star
game
weekend
and
then
on.
The
right
is
actually
the
silicon
valley,
comic-con
convention
we
had
a
little
later
and
you
can
kind
of
see
how
some
of
the
things
have
changed
in
the
design
and
how
we've
been
iterating.
Q
And
then
I
want
to
show
you
some
examples
of
the
family
of
products
developed
through
the
design
process.
So
the
mesh
product,
we're
also
referring
to
as
the
navigation
product,
is
what
we
are
piloting
through.
The
basset,
affordable
housing
for
sustainable
communities
grant
the
arrival.
Totem
would
be
placed
in
locations
like
deering
station
and
light
rail
stations.
Q
The
trail
totem
would
be
placed
along
our
trail
system,
so
in
this
past.
So
one
of
the
updates
for
this
happened
this
past
year
is
we
were
approached
by
the
vta
in
early
summer,
who
have
been
active.
Participants
and
they've
been
sort
of
waiting
for
their
their
opportunity
to
participate,
and
so
they
actually
sought
to
get
authorization
from
the
mtc
for
funding,
and
so
what
they
won't
be
doing
is
actually
developing
the
arrival
totem
at
light
rail
stations
along
the
transit
mall
in
downtown,
which
is
which
is
great
news.
Q
So,
additionally,
the
mtc
has
been
working
at
the
regional
level
to
generate
consensus
among
transit
providers
to
develop
a
harmonization
among
products
throughout
the
bay
area,
with
funding
to
expected
to
be
approved
later
this
spring,
to
implement
the
arrival
totem
in
major
transit
stations
like
during
station
and
at
bart
our
bike
extra
stations,
if
you've
been
to,
if
you've
seen
them
and
these
maps,
maybe
look
a
little
familiar
to.
Q
You-
is
that
our
berkshire
stations
actually
use
the
same
map
system,
not
just
here
in
san
jose,
but
then
also
in
san
francisco
and
oakland
and
throughout
the
bay
area
that
have
bike
share.
Q
Q
So,
as
you
can
kind
of
see,
the
whole
system
is
like
a
long
sort
of
list
of
products
and
partners
can
actually
implement
different
portions
of
it
so
vta.
For
example,
can
can
do
some
portion
of
it,
which
they're
interested
in
doing
and
the
same
with
the
mtc
are
interested
in
finding
elements
as
well.
Q
So
in
new
york
city
they
have
link
nyc
and
more
locally
in
the
bay
area
is
interactive,
is
ike,
interactive,
kiosk
experience
and
that's
been
deployed
in
berkeley,
so
interactive
kiosks
provide
public
information
like
wayfinding
and
local
business
directories
and
cultural
celebrations,
for
example,
as
well
as
offering
public
benefits
such
as
free
wi-fi
or
the
ability
to
make
emergency
calls,
and
with
that
I'll
shift
over
to
ryan.
A
Thanks
sal
hi,
I'm
ryan
smith,
with
the
department
of
transportation
I'll
just
briefly
describe
the
next
steps
and
more
or
less
a
summary
of
what
what
said
already,
but
basically
we're
going
to
begin
implementation.
In
the
coming
months,
we
have
funding
from
the
affordable
housing,
sustainable
communities
grant
program
as
part
of
an
affordable
housing
development
in
the
north,
san
pedro
area
downtown,
and
so
this
will
be
the
focus
of
where
we're
first
going
to
build
out
the
wayfinding
system
and
what
we're
going
to
be
using.
A
So
the
timeline
for
that
we're
going
to
put
out
an
rfp
shortly
and
then
we're
going
to
implement
this
in
this
in
the
summer.
So
we
can
coordinate
with
some
other
projects
that
are
going
on
in
that
area,
including
other
projects
from
the
same
grant
such
as
sidewalk
improvements.
That
way,
we
can
kind
of
coordinate
construction
in
that
way
and
then
ongoing
we're
going
to
continue
to
look
for
additional
funding
opportunities,
including
future,
affordable,
affordable
housing,
sustainable
communities,
grant
opportunities.
M
Hi,
can
you
hear
me?
Yes,
thank
you
to
try
to
conclude,
you
know
it's.
You
know
the
third
part
of
my
words
on
public
comment
at
this
time.
You
know
if,
if
city
government
offers
intelligent
dialogue
to
the
public,
then
the
public,
the
community
is
going
to
give
back,
intelligent
words
and
and
play
fairly
government,
not
just
san
jose,
but
government
itself
has
a
real
fear
to
to
be
honest
and
share
openness
with
its
public
and
that's
a
really
bad
habit.
M
We
have
and
I
think,
the
open
public
policy
ideas
I
work
with
allow
us
a
way
to
just
develop
a
better
selves
or
better
persons
and
a
better
consciousness
of
ourselves,
and
I
hope
we
make
those
efforts
with
this
item.
You
know
you're
talking
about
all
these
wonderful
practices
with
technology.
It's
going
to
have
surveillance,
it's
going
to
have
data
collection
involved.
M
Why
not
develop
the
ideas
of
open
public
policies,
so
that
gives
an
added
experience
and
comfort
to
a
person
walking
through
the
downtown
area.
With
this
stuff
I
mean
that
monolith,
totem
pole
is
fearful.
M
I
mean
that's
going
to
be
loaded
with
surveillance
and
loaded
with
data
collection
and
stuff
and
you're
going
to
say
this
is
our
wonderful
future.
I
mean
build
the
stuff,
so
people
can
ask
about
it
and
they
can
feel
they
can
trust
to
ask
their
government
questions
about
it.
You
know
that's
how
you
build
our
sustainable
future.
M
That's
responsibility,
and
you
know
I
just
this
is
fearful,
fearful
stuff
we're
dealing
with,
and
you
have
to
build
it
with
the
intention
to
invite
the
public,
the
public
and
the
government
are
now
going
to
be
more
connected
and
more
sharing
information.
It
isn't
government
handing
down
their
information
to
the
public.
This
is
going
to
be
a
more
shared
experience
now
so
learn
to
practice
open
public
policies.
It
will
be
good
and
safe.
Thank
you.
B
E
Yes,
excellent
blair,
excellent,
thank
you
for
that
god,
I
I
don't
know
what
these
meetings
would
be
like
without
without
blair
seriously.
I
mean
that
with
respect
to
this
I'm
reading
from
the
memo
it
says,
unfortunately,
trying
to
find
your
way
around
downtown
can
be
challenging,
particularly
for
a
new
or
infrequent
visitor.
Because-
and
I
was
just
like-
I
don't-
need
help
looking
down-
I
can
walk
around
downtown
blind
blindfolded,
I
mean
so
it's
just
even
right
here
in
the
language
I
mean
it's
just
very
clear.
E
You
guys
are
marketing
this
city
and
you're,
basically
selling
it.
San
jose
is
for
sale.
How
much
you
got
because
we're
basically
going
to
sell
it
to
you
so
go
ahead
and
bring
all
these
technologies
number
one
number
two.
I
want
to
know
what
an
rfp
is.
Okay,
because
he
mentioned
it
in
an
acronym,
and
I
don't
know
what
that
means.
I'm
the
public
you're
doing
public
policy
using
public
money
and
you're
accessing
grant
money.
I
want
to
know
what
that
means.
Number
one
number
two.
E
I
want
to
know
the
definition
of
affordable
the
metric
that
you
used
and
the
precise
location
of
that
particular
housing
project
that
you
access
grant
money
in
order
to
fortify
the
infrared,
the
local
infrastructure
within
the
within
that
particular
space,
because
I
I
I
mean
this
is
a
trip
man,
I
mean
you,
listen
to
you,
guys,
talk
and
there's
just
just
this
complete
disconnect
complete
disconnection
from
understanding
what
an
older
cat
like
myself,
that
is
born
here
and
raised
here
and
experienced
the
generational
deprivation
of
wealth
and
the
racism.
Here.
E
You
see
you
people
haven't
experienced
that
that's
why
they
hire
all
these
consultants
from
out
of
town
to
come
in
here
and
try
to
educate
me
about
how
to
navigate
my
downtown.
Are
you
serious
you
got
to
be
kidding
me?
You
know
I
survived
through
downtown
through
the
porn
industry,
man
when
downtown
was
filled
with
nothing
but
pornographers,
and
this
city
was
getting
rich
off
of
that
and
I
was
forced
to
walk
through
that
with
child
predators.
Trying
to
hit
me
up
going
to
the
jose
theater.
B
Thank
you,
councilmember
perales,.
N
Yeah,
I
think,
and
first
off
I
we've.
We
have
definitely
been
guilty
of
this
often
which
is
using
acronyms
and
not
describing
them
so
I'll
answer
for
for
staff.
An
rfp
is
a
request
for
proposal,
and
it's
it's
something
that
it
will
put
out
to
the
public
at
large,
but
really
for
the
companies
that
may
be
interested
in
actually
applying
for
a
particular
job
or
offering
that
we
have
out
there,
where
we're
looking
for
a
professional
service
to
to
do
that
service.
N
For
us
and
and
we'll
put
that
out
for
a
a
bid,
a
public
bidding
process
can
get
pretty
complicated.
But
I
do
appreciate
that-
and
I
know
that
we
get
bogged
down
sometimes
with
with
acronyms
and
and
just
want
to
thank
staff
for
the
work
on
this.
Unfortunately,
we
have,
you
know,
endured
a
really
challenging
year,
and
I
know
that
this
was
initially
set
to
to
end
june
of
this
year,
and
so
I
just
wanted
to
see.
N
Was
there
any
extension
that
was
going
to
be
put
in
place
for
this
or
no?
Is
it
still
set
to
wind
down
june
of
this
year?.
Q
So
our
agreement
with
the
our
console
tends
to
do
the
design
work.
It
expires
in
june,
but
we
can
extend
it
if
we
have
funding
to
actually
to
do
that
and
so,
but
for
the
work
that
needs
to
get
done
between
now
and
then
is
the
request
for
proposals
as
you
thank
you,
for
you
did
a
great
job
describing
that.
Q
But
what
we're
going
to
do
is
is
get
the
rfp
out
on
the
street
and
get
some
bids
and
then,
with
the
grant
money
that
we
have
from
the
state
is
to
actually
go
and
implement
the
fabrication
and
installation
of
that
pilot
area
that
we're
talking
about
and
ryan.
If
you
want
to
jump
in,
feel
free
to
do
that,.
A
I
mean
that
pretty
much
sums
it
up.
I
would
say,
as
far
as
the
portion
of
this
that's
going
to
be
funded
through
the
grant
program,
I
mean
it's
not
the
only
thing.
That's
funded
through
the
grant
program,
there's
other
other
parts
of
the
project
that
relates
bike,
bike,
use,
sidewalk
improvements
and
such.
N
Okay,
I
I
just
wasn't
certain:
if
there
was
you
know,
if
there
were,
I
guess,
delays
or
kind
of
parts
of
this
this
this
work
that
was
not
completed
because
of
proven
19
and
it
sounds
like
we
could
extend
it,
but
that's
going
to
cost
us
correct,
and
so
I
guess
that
was
more.
My
my
interest
is:
was
there
something
that
that
maybe
you
know
that
we
fell
behind
on
there
wasn't
completed
with
the
consultant
here
and
that
it
would
be
extended
without
any
cost,
but
it
sounds
like
that's
not
the
case.
N
The
parking
fun,
obviously
right,
it's
had
significant
impacts.
What
are
what
are
the
thoughts
in
that
regard?
I
mean
I,
you
know.
I
don't
think
that
we'll
expect
to
see
that
back.
You
know
up
to
to
its
full
revenues
revenue
generation
this
year,
and
I
know
that
the
staff
is
still
looking
at
the
effects
that
that
has,
but
are
there
any
thoughts
on
that
right
now,.
R
Yeah,
council
member,
I'm
jessica,
zanck,
I'm
the
deputy
director
for
dot,
and
I
can
take
a
stab
at
that
one.
I
think
council
member
paralysis
said
it
correctly,
which
is
that
you
know
the
parking
fund.
Revenues
are
down
to
an
extent
that
we
don't
have
a
good
projection
of
when
they
would
be
back
up.
R
This
is
a
program
that
has
been
funded
through
an
appropriation
through
the
parking
fund,
but
we
do
need
the
revenues
to
materialize
in
order
to
make
good
on
that,
and
we
know
that
there
are
many
priorities
that
have
typically
depended
on
the
parking
fund
and
we're
not
you
know
necessarily
expecting
or
guaranteeing
that
this
would
be
at
the
very
top
of
the
list
when
those
revenues
come
back,
whether
it's
vehicle
abatement
or
some
of
the
the
services
for
the
unhoused
in
the
in
the
downtown
there's
there's
a
lot
of
other
priorities
that
we
expect
council
would
have
to
discuss
in
in
the
next
budget
before
we
would
assume
that
there
would
be
funding
for
this.
N
Oh
okay,
yeah
and
I
look,
I
would
agree-
I
mean.
Obviously
I
don't
think
we
know
the
full
impact,
but
certainly
there's
not
going
to
be
the
revenue
in
there
that
that
was
expected
previously,
and
I
would
agree
that
there's
a
lot
of
other
needs
that
are
going
to
fall
as
a
higher
priority
than
this
I'll
move
to
proof.
The
staff
update.
B
Thank
you
any
other
council
member
mayhem.
Q
So
so,
certainly
really
what
we
want
to
make
sure
of
is
whatever
materials
we
use
are
going
to
be
able
to
be
cleaned
very
often
they're
going
to
operate,
which
was
part
of
the
prototyping
process
of
looking
at
make
sure
the
materials
are
going
to
be
sustainable
and
durable,
but
then
also
just
really
making
sure
that
we
get
that
right
so
that
we
can.
Actually,
I
guess,
the
original
sort
of
design
we're
thinking
about
is
being
able
to
interchange
the
actual
map
sheets
and
information
within
a
six-month
period.
Q
So
as
businesses
change
as
things
happen
in
our
downtown,
we
can
actually
keep
the
map
system
update,
updated
so
that
in
some
places
there
are
these
permanent
finishes
that
are
very
expensive
to
change
and
and
or
require
a
lot
more
labor
and
material
costs
actually
may
have
have
them
be
basically
permanent,
and
so
really
the
idea
is
that
we
can
actually
switch
out
those
components
fairly
easily,
but
the
the
main
structure
is
going
to
be
a
very
durable.
G
Tree
in
the
background,
so
I
so
you
probably
know
where
the
maybe
you
have
an
idea
where
I'm
gonna
go
with
this.
I
think
that
wayfinding
is
great
and
I'm
glad
that
we're
gonna
we're
we're
ironing
out
the
kinks.
On
this.
G
My
question-
and
I
think
I've
talked
to
some
of
you
about
this-
is
wondering
when
it's
going
to
get
extended
into
some
of
the
other
areas
in
the
city
of
san
jose
and,
of
course,
I'm
going
to
make
a
pitch
again
for
the
east
side
of
san
jose
and
the
reason
why
is
I'll
say
it
again?
You
have
a
district
that
is
rich,
rich,
rich
with
history
and
again
history
and
iconic
spots
that
I
will
again
say
for
a
very
long
time.
It
hasn't
been
talked
about.
G
It
hasn't
been
recorded,
it
hasn't
been
memorialized,
it
hasn't
been
put
on
a
on
a
on
an
elevated
platform,
and
so
when
you
don't
do
that,
I
think
we
miss
a
very
significant
opportunity,
one
to
highlight
the
diversity
but
to
highlight
the
history
that
has
been
a
part
of
san
jose,
but
also
an
opportunity
to
bring
in
people
who
might
be
interested
in
history
who
might
be
interested
in
the
diversity
who
might
be
interested
in
the
best
tacos
that
you're
going
to
have
in
the
city
of
san
jose
or
who
might
be
interested
simply
in
finding.
G
You
know
that
mecca
of
culture
and
and
whether
it's
filipino
or
vietnamese
or
indian
or
mexicano
culture.
It
is
here
here
here
you
want
authentic
tejano
boots,
you're,
going
to
find
it
right
here
on
the
east
side
on
story
road.
I
can
tell
you
exactly
where
it
is.
You
want
a
an
authentic,
tejana
you're
going
to
find
it
right
here.
You
don't
have
to
go.
You
know
to
tijuana
you're
going
to
find
it
right
here,
so
so
I'm
I
I'm
just
wondering.
G
G
I
think
I've
mentioned
this
before
I
went
for
a
hike
up
at
at
oh,
my
goodness,
councilmember
mahan,
you
know
quicksilver
quicksilver,
quicksilver
and
and
when
I,
when
I
I
I
get
a
little
dyslexic,
and
sometimes
I
call
it
silver,
quick
quicksilver
and
I
went
through
ahmedan
expressway
and
they
have
the
the
welcome
to
amaden
ahmadin
valley,
and
we
don't
have
anything
like
that
in
the
east
side
of
san
jose,
it
doesn't
say:
welcome
to
little
portugal
welcome
to
east
san
jose,
welcome
to
little
mexico.
G
G
So
that's
one
the
other
is
you
know
if
we
don't
think
that
it's
significant
enough
to
find
its
way
through
wayfinder,
then
what
do
we
need
to
do
to
to
build
it?
In
other
words,
if
we
think
that
this
isn't
going
to
be
attractive
enough,
maybe
then
do
we
need
to
create
trails
that
connect
it.
Do
we
need
to
create
a
scavenger
hunt?
Do
we
need
to
create
a
tour
of
of
murals?
G
G
I
need
to
make
sure
that
they
convince
me
that
they
want
to
go
there,
and
so
I
I
you
know
I'm
I
I've
been
raising
children
for
the
past
26
years,
so
I've
figured
things
out,
and
so
so
so
I
I
feed
them
the
things
that
I
think
are
going
to
be
really
interesting
to
them,
and
so
I
bring
this
up
because
what
is
it
in
our
own
personal
lives
that
attract
us
to
paris?
Is
it?
Is
it
the
louvre?
Is
it
the
the
the
the
food?
G
Is
it
that
what
is
it
when
we
go
to
la?
Is
it
the
hiking
trails?
Is
it
the
shopping?
Is
it
the
outlets?
Is
it
the
alleyways?
What
is
it
and
what
is
it
that
we
think
would
bring
people
in
here
other
than
the
core?
I
mean.
We
don't
think
that
people
just
stay
in
the
core.
Do
we
and
we
don't
think
that
san
jose
is
just
a
launching
pad
to
go
to
santa
cruz
and
san
francisco,
and
you
know
the
outlets
in
gilroy.
Is
it
I
mean?
G
So
what
is
it
and
how
do
we
make
san
jose
even
better
than
we
already
know
it
is,
and
how
do
we
take
the
assets
that
are
san
jose
because
we
have
beautiful
assets,
wonderful
assets,
I've
been
here
over
50
years.
I've
never
left
it
because
I
love
it
and
I
want
my
children
to
stay
here
and
continue
the
legacy
of
of
my
family.
G
So
what
is
it
that
we
want
san
jose
to
be
known
for,
and
I
think
that
there
is
just
an
opportunity
that
we're
really
missing
and
we
have
the
best
vietnamese
food
I've
been
all
over
by
the
way
all
over
the
the
world.
I've.
Never
I've
never
eaten
the
kind
of
vietnamese
food
that
we
have
here
right
here
in
our
own
backyard
mexican
food
ditto.
G
You
know
indian
food
by
the
way
double
ditto
you
know,
and
so
so
I
just
I
it's
gonna,
it's
a
challenge
that
I'm
posing
to
all
of
you
to
see
how
we
connect
one
district
to
the
other,
and
I
don't
even
like
to
say
one
district
to
the
other,
but
rather
how
do
we
connect
the
rest
of
the
city
to
each
other
so
that
people
can
truly
appreciate
the
the
richness
that
it
is
I'll?
Tell
you
when
you
think
of
events
pre-coveted
mhp
was
bumping.
G
It
was
every
single
day
there
was
something
going
on.
You
couldn't
even
get
there
to
book
a
quinceanera.
You
know
you
had
to
know
that
your
daughter
was
going
to
turn
15
three
years
from
now,
so
you
could
have
a
saturday
planned
out
because
it
was
always
booked.
You
knew
that
you
were
going
to
fall
in
love
a
few
years
from
now
and
get
married
because
you
weren't
going
to
be
able
to
book
a
wedding
there.
I
mean
it
was
booked
all
the
time
because
it
was
so
popular.
G
You
know
the
the
beautiful
walk
of
altars
was,
unlike
any
walk
of
altars,
that
I've
experienced
in
the
u.s
short
of
going
into
latin
america.
There
was
nothing
more
more
majestic
that
I've
experienced
in
the
u.s
and
kim
was
there
in
one
of
those
events
it
was.
It
was
beautiful,
absolutely
beautiful.
I
get
chills
just
thinking
about
it,
truly
how
that
community
came
together
and
honored
its
ancestors
and
it's
it's
it's
it's
dead.
G
You
know,
and
so,
by
the
way
now
that
we've
experienced
so
much
loss,
I
can
tell
you
that
our
walk
of
altars
will
be
all
that
more
significant
in
the
years
to
come,
and
so
how
do
you
bring
that
to
people
who
are
going
to
be
going
through
the
same
thing
and
know
that
this
is
where
we
come
together
anyway?
So
I
just
wanted
to
to
bring
that
to
your
attention.
G
R
That
that's
a
great
point
go
ahead,
jessica
sure,
just
to
be
very
brief.
There
are
excellent
points
and
I
think
that
the
core
of
this
program
is
about
making
our
city
more
discoverable
and
more
legible
as
you're
suggesting
council
member
carrasco,
and
so
that
is
absolutely
a
goal,
as
is
the
ability
to
extend
the
system
over
time
right.
R
So
one
of
the
the
great
things
about
working
with
vta
and
working
with
mtc
and
others
is
that
as
capital
light,
rail
and
as
the
bart
extension
come
online,
we're
working
with
them
to
make
sure
that
this
same
wayfinding
system
is
in
fact
adopted
and
expanded
through
those
transit
projects.
Your
point
is
very
good.
R
It's
also
the
trails,
it's
also
the
streets,
and
it's
also
this
ethos
of
kind
of
discovery
and
legibility
within
all
aspects
of
the
city,
but
but
those
are
definitely
ways
in
which
we're
thinking
about
extending
this
exact
system
and
we're
definitely
continually
open
to
suggestions,
as
sal
and
ryan
mentioned,
we'll
continue
to
look
for
those
affordable
housing,
sustainable
communities.
Grants
throughout
the
city
that
help
us
wayfinding
is
an
eligible
complement
to
those
grant
programs
for
the
affordable
housing.
So
thank
you.
B
So
it's
now
418.
We
have
one
more
item,
I'd
like
to
bring
closure
on
this
item
as
well,
so
we
can
move
on
to
here
the
economic
update
report,
so
council,
member
mayhem.
C
Yeah
and
I'll
be
very,
very
brief,
agree
with
everything
councilmember
carrasco
said
as
a
former
public
school
teacher
in
alum
rock
unified
love,
the
community,
the
the
history,
and
I
absolutely
think
we
should
be
investing
in
helping
our
residents
and
visitors,
discover
that
beautiful
community.
I
did
want
to
say
just
for
the
record
just
in
case.
Any
members
of
the
public
did
not
understand
the
comment.
C
I
just
want
to
note
that
the
signing
almaden,
if
you
see
it
when
you're
going
out
to
the
great
parks
down
here,
was
put
together
and
funded
by
a
couple
of
local
service
clubs.
So
I
just
wanted
to
be
clear
that
we
didn't
that
was
not
a
decision
to
put
public
funds
there
and
not
somewhere
else,
but
I
think
that
doesn't
mean
we
shouldn't
put
public
funds
into
all
of
our
neighborhoods
right.
So
just
just
want
to
make
sure
that
that
was
clear.
But
thank
you.
B
So
just
to
put
closure
on
this.
I
recently
held
a
office
hours
with
my
district
district
9
and
asked
the
question
what
area
needs
a
little
tlc
in
district
nine,
and
one
of
the
comments
I
heard
from
two
or
three
folks
was:
you
need
a
gateway
sign
from
highway
17
on
camden
that
tells
you
you're
in
cambrian,
and
actually
I
tried
to
fund
that
la
a
couple
of
years
ago
and
I
got
shot
down
for
funding
it.
So
maybe
I
need
to
go
from
go
and
get
some
private
donations.
B
Right
there
exactly
and
signage
is
really
important
important
to
to
all
of
us.
The
one
thing
I
would
leave
you
with
is:
how
will
those
signs
be
accessible
to
those
with
disabilities?
We
need
to
make
sure
that,
if
they're
visually
impaired
or
hearing
impaired
that
they
have
access
to
those
way
finding
signs
as
well.
J
A
J
B
S
Thank
you.
So
much
is
my
screen
shared
adequately,
so
you
guys
can
see
it
yeah
good,
I'm
elizabeth
handler
public
information
manager.
Thank
you,
madam
chair
and
committee
members.
It's
my
pleasure
to
take
you
through
a
brief
summary
of
some
of
the
things
that
have
been
going
on
in
the
economic
development
department
over
the
past
month,
and
so
I
will
take
you
through
the
march
newsletter.
S
One
of
the
ways
that
we
found
to
be
effective
has
been
to
host
webinars
with
a
host
of
partners
across
the
community
that
are,
in
many
cases,
community-based
organizations
that
provide
support
services
or
they
are
the
actual
funding
sources
themselves,
like
the
small
business
administration
and
we've
supported
more
than
200
webinars
of
these
of
this
sort
to
go
out
to
the
small
business
community
and
we've
done
more
than
25
of
our
own
online
workshops,
many
of
them
in
multiple
languages,
not
enough
we're
still
struggling
to
make
the
equity
lens
as
focused
as
we
can
on
our
products.
S
S
S
We
have
a
youtube
channel
where
our
videos
can
be
seen
of
the
workshops
and
we're
promoting
that,
and
I
think
some
of
them
are
also
on
the
city's
youtube
channel
as
well,
and
we've
actually
been
stepping
up
the
cadence
of
our
seminars
because
of
the
support
that
the
community
needs
in
applying
for
the
help
that
is
available.
S
These
applications
are
special,
especially
for
federal
grants
and
and
loans
are
very
complicated,
and
so
our
partners
are
helping
us
with
the
process
of
getting
these
folks
as
as
best
positioned
as
they
can
be
for
the
money
that's
available.
S
One
of
the
programs
is
the
california
pandemic
relief
fund.
That
was
a
grants
program
which
is
extremely
attractive
because
many
of
our
lower
income
businesses
are
very
reluctant
to
take
on
any
kind
of
debt.
As
you
can
imagine,
and
it's
not
it's
not
a
culturally
accepted
thing
to
oh,
I
need
I
need
help
I'll
go
into
debt
that
doesn't
it
just
doesn't
make
a
lot
of
sense,
so
the
grants
program
is
important.
Unfortunately,
it's
had
some
problems.
S
We
applications
process,
it's
not
it's
not
been
very
intuitive,
and
so
we've
been
working
very
hard
with
also
our
hotline
services,
which
are
a
phone
number
and
an
email
address
that
is
being
managed
in
five
languages
again,
and
so
we're
doing
a
lot
of
work
on
on
that
hotline
and
also
to
answer
questions
on
how
to
get
your
application
in
and
get
it
get
it
accepted
in
the
middle
of
all.
This,
of
course,
there's
still
development
going
on
and
it's
actually
a
pretty
interesting
and
positive
picture.
S
The
the
the
projects
underway,
the
major
projects
underway
include
almost
24
000
residential
units,
2.1
million
square
feet
of
commercial
retail
space,
almost
34
million
square
feet
of
commercial
office
space
and
close
to
3
000
hotel
rooms.
We
haven't
broken
any
ground
on
hotels
yet,
but
there
are
things
that
are
moving
forward
and
top
golf
started,
its
cons,
construction
back
again
after
being
on
hold
and
we're
looking
on
getting
that
completed
this
spring.
S
So
that
will
be
a
very
nice
attraction
added
to
the
northern
elvisho
end
of
our
valley,
and
also
just
we've
got
some
clean
energy
news
that
we're
hosting
a
blog
post
from
the
environmental
services
department
talking
about
the
groundbreaking
of
the
ribbon,
cutting
that
just
happened
virtually
for
the
code
generation
facility,
adding
to
the
the
economic
advantages
that
we
can
offer
our
residential
and
business
customers,
as
well
as
keeping
our
energy
supplies
as
clean
and
as
sustainable
as
possible.
S
And
finally,
happiness
happened
on
valentine's
day.
We've
had
a
lot
of
fun
working
with
the
the
digital
mapping
feature
of
putting
projections
on
downtown
building
facades,
and
we
did
it
again
for
valentine's
day
and
we
even
have
our
own
little
arch
that
we've
built
now
that
has
the
san
jose
economic
development
logo
on
it
perfect
for
selfies.
A
lot
of
happy
couples
were
taking
their
pictures
under
this
for
valentine's
day,
and
in
this
you
will
see,
there's
a
link
to
a
ktvu
news
supplement
on
on
this.
S
B
E
Yes,
thank
you
for
that
report.
I
just
did
here's
your
the
pictures.
Senora
carrasco
with
the
the
mexicans,
the
the
the
art
that
was
used
in
a
minority
business
grant
program.
E
Then
that's
when
we
become
you
know
evident
in
the
presentations,
and
so
these
are
things
that
it's
it's
almost
like
every
single
meeting.
I
come
to
I'm
educating
white
folks
and
anglos
of
a
fluency
and
privilege
on
how
offensive
it
is
to
be
a
chicano
in
san
jose
having
birth
certificates
in
california
to
1821
and
have
100
years
legacy
here
in
san
jose.
E
I
mean
this
is
it's
it's
almost
getting
like
like
surreal,
like
kind
of
like
in
a
dream
like
like
we're,
constantly
trying
to
educate
the
public
on
how
insensitive
and
privileged
and
completely
disconnected
apathetic
and
indifferent.
E
Basically,
our
city
is
being
marketed
to
people
that
don't
live
here.
There's
23
000
people
that
you
cited
in
this
in
this
meet.
I
would
like
to
know
the
numbers
that
you
have,
and
I
know
that
you
have
them,
how
many?
What
is
the
demographic
of
that
person
that
you
have
coming
to
live
here,
because
it's
not
native
san
jose
that
are
going
to
live
in
those
houses?
It's
not
because
it
cost
220
000
income
to
buy
a
home.
E
M
Yeah
hi,
thank
you,
yeah.
I'm
also
trying
to
address
the
concepts
of
apathy
today
and
community
apathy
and
how
the
government,
our
local
government,
you
know,
and
state
government
federal
government
really
can
have
a
part
to
help
that
process
out,
and
you
know
I
hope
my
my
words
can
be
of
help
today
for
this
item.
I
guess
you
know
a
clarification,
also
on
a
previous
item
to
talk
about
the
term
airport
through
flyways
and
throughways.
They
want
to
build
around
airport
flyways.
I
guess
is
the
way
to.
M
I
should
say
previous
words
for
this
item.
I
guess
the
first
thing
is
to
thank.
I
haven't
met
this
person
before
I
wanted
to
thank
her
for
her
words
about
a
language
interpretation
for
a
certain
issue,
she's
saying
it's:
they
they
can
be
ways
to
get
interpreters
for
five
five
different
languages,
for
I
guess
a
newsletter,
maybe
possibly
something
like
that.
M
You
know
they're
working
on
it,
it's
developing,
but
it's
hard
and
just
just
to
hear
that
they're
working
on
five
different
versions
of
how
how
a
newsletter
can
work.
That's
great
to
hear.
Thank
you.
Yeah!
That's
really
good
work.
I'm
hopeful
by
hearing
that
and
then
the
idea
of
a
community
energy
with
at
the
waste
treatment
plant.
M
You
know
I
just
I
just
hope
we
learn
how
to
practice
our
good
renewable
ideas
and
that
renewable
energy
ideas
can
be
a
good
subject
matter
for
the
next
few
years
and
and
to
use
the
term
apathy.
We
don't
grow
apathetic
in
what
will
be
a
difficult
next
decade
for
ourselves
and
and
we
want
to
continue
and
work
towards
the
really
good,
renewable
ideas
that
are
possible
at
this
time
and
not
shy
away
from
them.
Thank
you.
A
N
A
C
B
M
To
conclude
thanks
for
the
meeting
today,
it's
not
I'm
thinking
it's
not
only
to
not
shy
away
from
renewables
in
the
future,
but
when
dirty
fuels
present
themselves
we'll
be
presenting
ourselves
in
the
next
five
to
ten
years
we
have
the
ability
to
say
no,
we
have
the
ability
to
say
we're
really
trying
to
make
the
transition
and
always
look
for
the
ways
to
work
renewables
to
make
that
transition
and
even
as
the
difficult
times
are
approaching.
M
That's
the
key,
that's
the
key.
So
I'm
gonna
be
that's
what
I'm
gonna
be
talking
about
for
the
next
six
months,
so
I
wanted
to
yeah
and
also
offer
the
idea
that
you
know
the
20th
century
was
a
time
of
authoritarian
government
and
it
was
a
time
that
government
asserted
itself
as
our
authoritative
figure
in
our
lives.
M
M
Basically,
I'm
talking
about
real
open
practices
of
democracy
and
and
that's
our
future
and
that's
what
can
be
innovative
and
that's
what
open
public
policy
offers
and
it
can
invite
everyone
to
the
process
and
there's
already
so
many
good
examples
that
we
work
on
and
practice
on
of
good
practices
in
san
jose
that
it
can
be
inclusive
to
all
parts
of
the
community,
even
the
parts
that
were
at
the
june
january
6
capitol
building.
How
do
we
invite
them
in
it's
with
these
good
practices?
M
E
E
This
is
a
letter
that
I
wrote
to
blanca
alvarado.
After
seeing
her
in
spotlight
grace
estonia
alvarado
for
being
the
protector
of
our
community.
There
still
exists
so
much
ignorance
and
apathy
in
the
hearts
and
minds
of
people
who
speak
about
social
justice
inequity
with
their
lips
yet
apprehensive
and
reticent
when
courage
are
required
to
make
these
terms
reality.
E
I
am
the
son
of
campacinos
de
salzipuedes.
My
father
was
raised
in
a
tent
on
the
grounds
of
what
is
now
guadalupe
church,
so
I
am
well
acquainted
with
the
consequences
of
systemic
racism
and
the
generational
traumas
that
flow
from
them.
My
mother
was
abused
and
humiliated,
violently
attacked
by
white
teachers
in
san
jose,
unified
school
district,
her
crime
being
mexican
and
speaking
her
native
language,
spanish,
a
right
guaranteed
her
via
the
constitution
but
denied
her
in
public
schools.
E
I
attend
every
single
city
council
meeting
and
I
thank
la
sanoras
arenas,
esparza
carrasco
for
being
advocates,
not
politicians
when
addressing
the
historical
injustices
that
masquerades
as
that's
just
how
things
are.
I
hear
your
carino
on
yo
and
take
no
mess
attitude
and
advocacy
in
la
senoras,
as
they
too
are
protectors
and
community
building
feminine
elements
on
the
dyes.
The
standard
you
set
is
still
echoed
in
the
halls
of
power
in
them
today,
and
for
that
I
am
grateful.
E
I
continue
to
advocate,
as
you
did
from
my
humble
position
as
a
chicano
son
of
the
farm
worker
from
barrio
horseshoe
and
as
you
began,
your
advocacy
on
behalf
of
the
chicano
as
the
sun
begins
the
day
as
it
rises
in
the
east.
I
will
finish
my
journey
here
on
earth
advocating
on
the
west,
just
as
the
sun
completes
its
journey
in
the
west
glacia
senora
alvarado
for
your
advocacy
and
legacy
for
this
chicano
to
follow
viva
la
mujeres
de
la
raza.
