Public
speakers
will
not
engage
in
a
conversation
with
the
council,
members
or
staff.
All
members
of
the
committee
staff
and
the
public
are
expected
to
refrain
from
abusive
language,
repeated
failure
to
comply
with
conduct
which
will
disturb,
disrupt
or
impede
the
orderly
conduct
of
this
meeting
may
result
in
the
removal
of
the
meeting
from
the
meeting.
C
D
C
Okay,
we
do
have
a
quorum,
so
I'm
going
to
proceed.
The
first
thing
we
have
is
to
review
the
work
plan
and
I'm
going
to
include
these
items
together.
Does
anyone
in
the
committee
have
any
questions
about
the
two
items
on
the
work
plan,
one
that
we
are
removing
until
next
fiscal
year
and
the
other
is
just
being
delayed?
B
B
B
I've
been
hearing
on
the
news
that
the
eviction
moratorium
at
the
state
level
is
thinking
of
being
extended
into
early
june
or
late
june.
So
good
luck
on
what
we
can
do
in
the
next
week
to
understand
this
it'll
be
voted
on
in
in
the
assembly
and
the
senate
in
this
next
week.
Good
luck!
How
you
can
add
to
it
and
yeah!
I
was
eager
just
to
see
what
you
could
come
back
with
soon
to
share
with
ourselves
and
what
can
be
available
for
not
just
tenants
for
owners
too.
B
Owners
can
still
participate
in
the
process
and
they
should
look
into
it
into
this
last
week.
I
think
there's
some
deadlines
of
signing
things,
possibly,
but
after
that
an
extension
period
can
be
of
help
to
everyone.
So
thank
you
for
this,
and
good
luck
in
learning
how
to
speak
about
it
openly
with
all
of
us.
Thank
you.

The
secret
review
process
is
complex,
involving
multiple
city
teams,
as
well
as
the
applicant
and
third
party
environmental
consultant
environmental
impact
reports.
The
most
thorough
type
of
analysis
that
may
be
required
can
take
almost
two
years
to
complete
in
our
review
of
13
projects.
The
median
length
of
time
it
took
to
complete
the
review
was
21.6
months
for
supplements
to
eirs
or
negative
or
mitigated
negative
declarations.
F
F
The
first
finding
is
that
improved
internal
processes
can
help
manage
environmental
reviews.
The
sql
process
is
lengthy
and
requires
coordination
and
communication
among
many
different
stakeholders,
including
the
applicant,
the
cfa,
planner,
the
entitlement,
planner
city
staff
and
other
departments
and
an
outside
environmental
consultant.
F
Environmental
review
and
entitlement
processes
can
occur
concurrently
and
are
generally
led
by
two
different
planners:
the
entitlement
planner
and
the
sql
plan.
Because
of
the
complexity
of
projects
and
the
long
timelines,
coordination
can
be
challenging.
As
there
are
not
standard
procedures
around
formal
information
sharing,
holding
regular
meetings
or
establishing
defined
timelines
for
all
projects
to
improve
management
of
the
sql
process,
we
have
recommendations
to
expand
the
model
for
planners
to
handle
both
the
entitlement
and
environmental
review
processes
and
develop
standard
project
management
procedures.
F
F
Applicants
hire
environmental
consultants
who
prepare
the
bulk
of
the
analyses
that
drive
environmental
reviews
in
2019,
the
city
created
an
optional
list
of
approved
consultants
and
since
the
establishment
of
the
optional
list,
the
median
length
of
time
and
approved
consultants
took
to
complete
negative
declarations
or
mitigated.
Negative
declarations
was
three
months
shorter
than
non-approved
consultants.
F
Also,
environmental
consultants
are
often
working
on
projects
for
long
periods
of
time,
but
staff
do
not
regularly
track
how
that
work
progress
is
progressing.
Lastly,
though,
staff
has
prepared
draft
guidelines
for
consultants
about
the
city's
secret
process.
These
have
not
yet
been
finalized
or
published
for
public
use.
We
have
two
recommendations
in
this
section
to
improve
the
management
of
work
done
by
consultants.
Pvc
should
establish
procedures
for
regular
communication
between
the
environmental
review
planners
and
consultants
and
consider
establishing
a
list
of
required
rather
than
optional
consultants
and
finalize
its
draft
sql
guidelines
for
consultants.
F
F
F
Currently
pvc
has
been
working
to
improve
in
this
area
and
intends
to
review
the
cost
recovery
calculation
to
improve
fee
setting
and
budget
accordingly
planners
on
the
sql
team
do
complete
tasks
that
may
be
more
appropriate
for
support
staff
such
as
invoicing,
preparing
mailings
and
similar
work
so
to
better
assess
and
distribute
workload.
We
recommend
pvc
update
guidelines
for
how
to
track
time,
including
for
unbillable
time
and
review
the
related
fee
calculations,
that's
appropriate
and
reassign
duties
as
possible,
which
could
include
filling
the
team's
support
staff
position.
F
In
some
cases,
the
city
has
initiated
environmental
analysis
that
affects
the
type
of
review
or
the
level
of
review
needed
for
new
projects.
There
are
several
types
of
such
analysis
that
the
city
can
pursue.
For
example,
the
city
conducted
an
eir
for
the
downtown
area
undertaking
this
type
of
analysis
comes
at
cost
and
requires
resources
and
careful
planning
and
whether
to
initiate
new
environmental
analysis
such
as
these,
and
what
type
is
a
decision
for
the
city
council
to
be
effective?
It
should
happen
as
part
of
the
city
council's
decisions
about
overall
strategic
planning.
F
F
H
C
H
A
H
H
The
department
has
a
work
plan
for
implementation,
including
finishing
work
in
progress
and
efforts
to
start
in
financial
year.
22-23
next
slide,
please
chris
next
slide
yep.
So
eight
of
the
twelve
recommendations
we
already
have
work
in
progress,
which
includes
recommendations,
number
one,
two,
three,
four,
six,
seven,
eight
and
ten
hey.
I
know
that
you've
read
through
it.
So
in
the
interest
of
time,
we'll
move
on
to
the
next
slide.
H
They
can
support
staff
position
to
help
environmental
team
and
historic
preservation
team
with
administrative
tasks,
including
invoicing,
which
is
very,
very
important
as
we
are
cost
recovery.
That
is
something
that
we
are
looking
to
really
implementing
and
also.
The
last
recommendation
is
that
to
develop
a
criteria
process
to
present
to
castle
with
opportunities
to
improve
on
the
preparation
of
program
level.
Environmental
clearance,
nice
light,
please
chris,
so
the
administration.
H
Thank
the
auditor's
office
for
the
thorough
work
and
recommendations
we
which
we
agree
with
and
also
thank
the
city,
attorney's
office
department
of
public
works,
environmental
consultants
and
applicants
who
participated
in
the
audit
process
at
this
point.
This
is
the
end
of
the
slide,
but
we
are
available
to
respond
to
specific
questions
that
the
commission
may
have.
C
B
All
right,
thank
you
for
everything
here.
Gonna
give
my
shot
at
this
item.
You
guys
have
been
working
on
updating
the
secret
things
for
a
few
years
now,
and
I
am
not
fully
aware
what
you're
exactly
doing
with
that.
I
feel
pretty
stupid
about
that
at
this
point,
but
I
guess
you
know
when
I
remember
a
sequel
in
the
past.
B
I
guess
just
a
cautionary
warning
that
you
know
that
in
these
efficiency
practices
that
you
won't
be
giving
up
meaningful
checks
that
we
have
to
continue
for
ourselves
and
and
to
always
be
reviewing
what
that
those
checks
can
be
and
doing
that
process
better.
To
be
able
to
explain
to
you
groups
and
you
met,
you
know,
corporate
manager,
groups
that
will
come
in.
B
You
know
working
on
the
same
thing
and
to
hear
them
out
and
to
hear
what
can
we,
you
know,
honestly,
our
better
selves
of
of
sql
review
and
getting
their
feedback
and
not
just
blowing
them
over
saying
we're
government
and
you're?
Not.
We
have
the
better
ideas,
you
know
making
a
collaborative
relationship
on
what
is
truly
our
better
environmental
practices.
B
J
Problem
hi,
I
actually
have
a
big
kind
of
general
comment.
I
try
very
hard
to
follow
a
lot
of
the
projects
that
the
city
has
to
review
and
it
involves
sequa
and
over
the
years
I
would
say
I
don't
know
over
the
last
decade
or
so.
I've
read
a
lot
of
these
projects
and
my
I
do
think
things
need
to
be
streamlined.
J
I
suppose
that
one
person
is
very,
very
lucky
to
have
this
much
involvement
with
the
city,
but
I
think
it's.
It
should
be
noted
that
any
time
that
we're
honoring
all
of
these
streamlining
processes
and
trying
to
do
things
that
that
are
going
to
help
become
our
city
to
become
more
efficient
at
some
point.
We're
going
to
have
to
look
at
you
know.
J
It's
really
bothersome
and
I
I
really
strongly
feel
that
it
has
impacted
my
ability
to
trust
our
planning
department
in
general
and
have
sequa
have
any
meaning
at
all,
and
so
I
just
just
wanted
to
just
say
that
I'm
grateful
for
all
the
work
that
the
planning
department
does.
I
know
it's
tedious
and
ongoing
I'm
appreciative,
but
I
also
feel
like
it
lacks
some
real
kind
of
honesty.
To
be
quite
frank,
thank
you.
D
D
Obviously
there
are
places
we
want
to
attract
jobs
and
housing
in
ways
in
which
we
want
to
do
it,
but
nonetheless,
those
median
review
times
being
as
long
as
they
are
is
no
doubt
an
impediment
to
attracting
and
securing
the
kind
of
investment
that
we
want
in
the
housing
and
jobs
that
that
we
need.
You
know
where,
where
we
want
it,
so
I
I
just
appreciate
that
we're
looking
at
this-
and
I
think
it's
I
think
it's
actually
really
important
when
it
takes
12
months
or
21
months
to
go
through
the
review.
D
I
don't
need
to
tell
you
all,
but
the
you
know
the
carrying
costs.
It's
it's
prohibitive
right.
I
mean
this.
This
deters
investment,
the
kind
that
we
need
and
we
want
in
housing
and
jobs,
and
so
certainly,
I
think
it's
important
that
we're
doing
environmental
review.
Obviously
it's
much
broader
sql
is
much
broader
than
the
environment.
D
I
I
do.
I
do
want
to
ask
just
a
few
questions
here,
so
one
is
just
looking
at
that
table
that
I
thought
was
very
helpful
that
showed
that
the
three
sort
of
categories
of
process
and
then
the
median
length
of
time
as
a
means
of
kind
of
reflecting
on
our
and
learning
reflecting
on
what
we're,
learning
and
and
holding
ourselves
accountable
to
improving.
Is
there
a
plan
to
come
back
in
an
appropriate
period
of
time?
F
So
I'll
take
it
over
to
the
administration
I'll
just
start
that
we
didn't
make
that
recommendation
for
that
regular
reporting.
I
think
the
first
part
is-
and
you
know
I
jump
ahead
of
chris-
but
the
question
of
defining
those
and
measuring
those
on
a
regular
basis.
It
took
it,
took
ali
and
abella
quite
a
bit
of
time
to
dig
into
the
process
and
digging
into
amanda
to
get
some
of
that
data.
G
G
What
do
you
think
will
most
likely
happen
is,
as
we
continue
to
develop
these
these
benchmarks
and
and
these
performance
metrics
we'll
start
to
include
them
into
that
quarterly
report.
That's
coming
through
ced
at
the
moment
where
we're
talking
about
the
development
process
more
broadly,
and
so
we
can,
as
that
starts
to
evolve,
you'll
start
to
see
those
come
through
there.
D
D
That's
that's
nice,
but
what
matters
is
the
outcome,
and
so
I
think
it's
more
important
that
we
say
well.
If
the
goal
of
this
is
to
appropriately
streamline
and
if
the
primary
data
point,
that's
in
the
presentation
is
it's
taking
this
many
months,
the
median
review
of
this
kind
is
taking
x
number
of
months
to
me.
It
would
be
logical
that
if
we
go
then
and
implement
a
dozen
recommendations
that
I
I
would
expect
that
we
would
see
that
number
come
down
and
I
really
think
we
need
to
think
about
it
that
way.
D
So
I
I'm
you
know,
I
know
I'm
repeating
myself
a
little
bit
here,
but
I
think
it's
really
important
that
we're
actually
doing
that
up
front
baselining
and
then
looking
at
where
we
are
12
months
later,
when
we
implement
a
bunch
of
recommendations,
because
that's,
I
think,
only
fair
to
the
team.
That's
doing
all
this
analysis
and
trying
to
come
up
with
these
wrecks.
Let
me
let
me
move
on.
Have
we
done
any
benchmarking
against
other
cities
and
I
ideally
looking
for
cities,
certainly
in
our
state?
F
So
we
did
talk
with
I'm
going
to
maybe
have
allie,
maybe
speak
a
little
bit
more,
but
we
did
talk
with
a
number
of
jurisdictions
about
some
of
the
processes:
oakland
san
francisco
long
beach,
la
san,
diego
and
then
so,
a
couple,
local
milpitas
and
santa
clara
and
a
couple
of
things
that
kind
of
struck
us
was.
You
know
some
of
the
the
the
recommendations
about
combining
the
entitlement
and
the
secret
planner.
F
You
know
that's
something:
we've
seen
elsewhere
the
last
recommendation
about
some
of
these
city
initiative
reviews
that
was
another
piece
that
other
jurisdictions
have,
whether
it's
an
area
plan
or
some
other
sorts
of
analyses
to
kind
of
similar
to
what
we've
done
with
downtown,
taking
some
using
those
those
plans
to
help
future
projects
ali
is
there.
Is
there
some
other
thoughts
that
you
had?
That
might
be
helpful
in
this.
A
I
think
you
covered
a
lot
of
it,
joe
in
terms
of
we
looked
at
all
different
aspects
of
the
process
when
we
were
talking
to
these
other
jurisdictions.
We
talked
to
some
of
the
larger
jurisdictions
in
california
and
a
couple
that
are
local,
more
kind
of
in
our
backyard
in
terms
of
the
kind
of
measures
that
they
use.
We
we
didn't
see
that
there
was
one
particular
measure
everyone's
using
this
measure,
everyone's
trying
to
measure
against
this
one
thing:
some
cities
weren't
doing
a
lot
of
measurement
like
us.
A
D
F
F
The
length
of
time,
as
I
mentioned,
was
something
that
really
struck
was
a
concern,
the
other
one
that
really
struck
us
was.
It
wasn't
just
the
length
of
time,
but
the
communications
around
the
length
of
time.
It
surprised
them
and
it
was
really
disappointing
and
it
kind
of
really
was
unfortunate
for
them.
They
did
have
positive
things
to
say
about
the
staff
and
the
knowledge
of
staff,
but
it
really
was.
F
D
Well,
there's,
no
doubt
we
have
great
staff,
that's
overworked
and
we
have
overly
complicated
processes
and
rules,
and
we
have
outdated
technology
in
many
cases,
so
certainly
not
blaming
staff.
Here
I
think
the
question
is:
did
our
consultants
have
opinions
on
what,
where
the
biggest
leverage
change
could
be,
what
what
did
they
think
would
help
most
improve
this
process
to
to
to
speed
it
up,
of
course,
again
in
a
responsible
way?
We
obviously
are
our
yeah.
F
A
Yeah,
so
we
we
had
an
open-ended
question
kind
of
two
at
the
end,
when
saying
kind
of
general
thoughts.
What
do
you
think,
but
the
other
question
was
what
could
we
have
done
differently
to
make
the
process
go
better
for
you?
We
we
did
some
analysis
on
who
was
responding,
but,
like
joe
said,
the
sample
size
wasn't
really
big
enough
for
us
to
feel
confident.
Looking
at
just
consultants,
we
also
we
sent
the
same
survey
to
applicants,
anyone
who
was
listed
as
a
contact
in
amanda
for
a
recent
project.
A
Definitely
the
timeliness
was
the
biggest
concern.
A
lot
of
people
mentioned
staff
turnover,
which
is
one
of
the
reasons
we
tried
to
figure
out.
How
can
we
have
some
of
this
cross-training?
So
at
least
they're
not
dealing
with
you
know
the
entitlement
planner,
as
well
as
a
environmental
review
planner.
Some
of
the
comments
also
were
about
the
communication
between
the
city
staff,
which
kind
of
gets
that
same
idea
of
trying
to
have
one
planner
involved.
A
Comments
were
also
about
just
the
city's
rules
and
and
being
aware
of
what
those
rules
were
and
the
communication
around
what
our
expectations
were
going
to
be
so
that
kind
of
fit
into
some
of
our
discussion
of
having
the
guidelines
for
consultants
of
making
sure
we're
being
very
clear
to
the
consultants
what
we
expect
from
them.
What
are
the
city's
sequa
thresholds?
D
Okay,
thanks
and
sorry
charles
wrap
up
in
just
a
second
here.
What
what
you
know,
if
I
understood
correctly,
it
sounded
like
part
of
what
has
been
cumbersome,
is
sometimes
waiting
on
different
departments
for
different
pieces
of
information.
Is
there
enough
volume
to
justify
actually
embedding
someone,
a
representative
from
different
departments
into
a
cross-functional
team
that
would
have
more
consistency
or
to
assume
we're
doing
that
to
some
extent
already,
but
I
didn't,
I
didn't
quite
understand
how
we
would
solve
that
barrier
of
of
folks
from
other
departments.
D
F
So
that's
how
we
tried
to
address
that,
so,
whether
it's
a
stand-up,
regular
stand-up
meetings,
regular
sprint
meetings.
What
have
you
just
so
there's
that
that
those
touch
points?
Those
regular
touch
points,
so
someone
in
public
works
who
might
be
doing
the
traffic
analysis
or
somebody
over
in
this
other
team,
doing
the
historic
review
they're
all
kind
of
on
the
same
page,
so
they
don't
understand
the
timelines
they're,
always
on
the
same
page
at
this
time.
F
What
have
you
and
then
also
the
recommendations
around
having
those
regular
touch,
paints
points
with
the
consultant
who
are
doing
the
bulk
of
the
analysis
such
that
we
can
just
try
to
keep
these
projects
moving
on
an
agreed-upon
timeline
that
everybody's
agreed
to
and
just
keep
moving
forward.
That
way.
So
that's
those
are
the
the
recommendations
we
have
in
that
area.
Just
thinking
about
it
from
that
project
management
type
standpoint,
yeah.

Members,
thank
you
committee
members
and
before
starting
our
slide
presentation,
I
wanted
to
introduce
the
team
san
jose
presenters.
Today.
First,
we
have
ben
roshki
who's,
our
vp
of
research
and
strategic
development,
matthew
martinucci,
our
vice
president
of
sales,
laura
schemalewski
vice
president
of
marketing
and
starting
us
off
with
our
performance
of
performance
results
or
our
mid-year
performance
results
is
ihob
sabri,
our
cfo,
so
ehob.
You
want
to
take
it
away
from
me.
E
E
The
numbers
look
great
here.
As
you
see,
the
estimated
direct
visitor
spending
was
9.6
million
dollars.
Again
it's
against
a
goal
of
4.5
million,
so
we
are
ahead
of
the
game
there
in
that
line
by
5.1
billion
future
hotel
room
nights,
city-wide
was
52
over
52,
000
knights
against
a
goal
of
fifty
thousand.
So
again,
we
are
ahead
of
the
game.
E
E
We
see
here
on
the
screen,
however,
with
arma
chrome
that
hit
us
really
hard
in
january
and
february,
the
numbers
don't
look
as
great
as
now
and
in
further
slides,
we're
going
to
explain
exactly
how
omicron
impacted
our
performance,
so
great
start
of
the
year,
unfortunately
was
disrupted
by
omicron
starting
january,
and
we
got
some
cancellation
in
january
through
through
june.
Actually
so
we're
gonna
pick
up.
E
K
A
A
A
Groups
that
we
booked
over
the
course
the
first
six
months
really
reflect
the
volatility
that
we're
seeing
in
the
market,
as
most
groups
are
hesitant
to
enter
into
long-range
contracts
with
as
topsy-turvy
as
the
situation
has
been.
We've
seen,
short-term
opportunities
really
fall
into
tech
groups
and
sports
groups,
and
with
that,
I'm
going
to
pass
it
on
to
matthew.
We'll
talk
a
little
bit
more
about
the
sales.
K
Thank
you
ben
good
afternoon
committee
members.
It's
an
honor
to
be
with
you
today.
So
at
the
mid-year
point,
as
you've
heard,
we
had
very
strong
booking
results
and
then
omicron
started
to
come
hit
us
and
in
that
window.
Between
the
end
of
december
and
the
end
of
january,
we
lost
20,
000,
definite
room
nights
that
were
set
to
actualize
in
january
february
and
march.
So
we
we
were
at
105
of
our
half
year,
you
know
of
our
goal
to
date
and
that
dropped
to
79
percent
by
the
end
of
january.
K
K
K
So
the
next
slide,
please
ben
so
as
far
as
what
is
happening
now
in
the
market,
and
we
want
to
see
and
and
be
a
part
of
the
recovery
as
quickly
and
as
strongly
as
we
can.
So.
One
good
step
in
the
step
in
the
right
direction
for
the
city
is
that
the
signia
by
hilton
will
soon
be
reopening
its
doors
after
more
than
a
year
being
closed
when
it
was
the
fairmont
they'll
open
with
about
a
third
of
their
inventory,
while
they
finish
renovations.
K
On
a
macro
level,
we've
seen
a
shift
in
some
organizations
that
used
to
do
large
national
meetings,
breaking
them
up
and
doing
regional
meetings,
and
so
obviously
san
jose
would
be
in
the
running.
For
a
potential
west
coast
meeting
and
what's
good
about
that
for
us
in
the
short
term,
is
that
some
of
these
are
groups
that
would
not
have
fit
in
the
city
previously.
K
We
know
that
many
of
our
customers,
especially
the
corporate
customers,
are
very
risk-averse
and
so
they're
not
as
quick
to
come
back
as
we
would
like
to
see
and
as
you
could,
as
you
can
see
already,
we've
had
several
groups
decide
not
to
have
their
events
at
least
this
year,
and
this
just
speaks
to
our
ongoing
mission
of
diversification
of
our
customer
base.
We
love
our
corporate
customers.
L
Thank
you,
matthew,
hello,
council
members
for
the
record,
laura
schamiliski,
vice
president
marketing
and
communications
for
team
san
jose.
So,
as
we
all
know,
when
covid
hit
our
budget
was
cut,
we
had
catastrophic
layoffs,
our
hotels
were
closed
and
all
of
our
venues
were
shuttered.
In
addition
to
that,
we
of
course
lost
all
our
marketing
funds
when
our
hotels
did
reopen.
Last
april,
our
board
and
the
city
agreed
to
a
one-time
funding
from
our
reserves
to
jumpstart
and
support
our
hotels.
L
L
Please
we
made
some
important
distinctions
in
how
we
would
target
people.
We
were
only
going
to
target
in-state
travel
intenders,
who
had
shown
digitally
that
they
wanted
to
book
travel,
especially
in
the
bay
area.
We
focused
on
media
vendors
that
could
deliver
hotel
bookings
and
track
revenue
for
us.
So
we
could
understand
a
true
return
on
investment.
L
We
partnered
with
visit
california
wherever
possible.
We
featured
local
artists
on
creative
and
creative
curated
itineraries
to
showcase
the
cultural
fabric
of
san
jose,
and
you
can
see
at
the
bottom
of
this
slide
five
of
the
artists
that
we
work
with
curated
by
demon
carter
next
slide.
Please,
the
results
were
great
from
july
to
december
the
overall
revenue
that
was
generated
by
the
campaign
that
includes
retail
hotel
flights,
entertainment
flights
into
sjc,
specifically
san
jose
hotels.
L
Of
course,
all
money
from
out
of
san
jose
into
san
jose
was
over
26.9
million
dollars
currently
and
with
a
month
left
to
go
in
the
campaign
we're
at
34.5
million
for
the
six
month.
Estimated
return
on
ad
spend
that's
41
for
every
dollar
that
we
invested
from
our
reserves,
and
at
this
point
in
december
we
had
19
000
bookings
of
flights
and
hotels.
At
this
point,
we
are
up
to
41
648
bookings.
L
I
also
want
to
say
that
this
was
from
a
one-time
infusion,
because
there
are
no
reserves
left
we're
currently
in
an
urgent
budget
situation,
and
we
want
to
thank
and
need
to
thank
all
council
members
and
their
staffs
and
all
our
great
partners
in
the
city
staff
who
have
made
themselves
available
to
work
with
us
to
find
a
solution
to
this
problem.
So
we
can
continue
to
drive
out
of
town
dollars
into
san
jose.
We're
very
grateful
for
everybody's
help.
Thank
you
and
we
will
all
take
questions.
C
Great,
thank
you
so
much
for
the
presentation.
It's
going
to
be
a
long
time
before
our
convention,
centers
are
at
full
capacity
again.
So,
while
some
other
area
sectors
of
our
economy
are
recovering
quite
nicely,
the
hospitality
is
not.
And
so
I
appreciate
that
you're
thinking
out
of
the
box
and
going
after
leisure
travel,
as
opposed
to
depending
on
the
conventions
that
just
don't
seem
to
be
happening,
that
much
anymore.
C
Your
numbers
really
were
good
through
the
last
first
half
of
the
fiscal
year,
which
was
probably
felt
pretty
good
and
then
omicron
hit,
and
we
all
know
what
what
that
did
to
lots
of
different
businesses.
So
with
that,
I'm
going
to
turn
to
the
members
of
the
public.
Before
I
go
back
to
the
committee
blair
beekman.
B
B
I
think
that's
an
interesting
concept
that
we
don't
explore
enough
and
in
fact
I
know
the
mayor
way
back
in
2014
wanted
to
make
those
connections,
so
we
can
all
feel
as
a
total
bay
area
and
I
think
that's
an
important
concept
we
can
work
on.
I
mean
I
often
speak
in
oakland
berkeley,
sometimes
san
francisco
and
I
make
clear
what
we're
doing
here
in
san
jose
and
what
are
our
good
practices.
B
You
know
the
ideas
of
racial
equity
and
accounting
and
auditing
was
was
awesome
that
you
know
cities
like
oakland
really
needed
to
hear
and
understand
what
we're
doing,
and
you
know
it's
been.
It's
been
a
really
good
example.
I
think
the
rest
of
the
bay
area
and
also
the
natural
disaster
preparedness
practices
and
that
you
talk
about
it
within
community
committee
meetings.
B
So
it's
those
sort
of
things
when
you
share
that
it
makes
it
interesting,
I
think,
for
people
who
want
to
visit
and,
of
course,
that
comes
to
you
know
the
the
ideas
of
open
public
policies
and
accountability
with
surveillance
and
technology
and
data
collection,
and
just
a
reminder.
I
hope
I
can
get
this
out-
that
you
know
if,
if
team
sounds
in
really
works
on,
you
know
wanting
to
practice
those
ideals
of
openness
and
accountability
with
technology.
B
J
J
I
just
feel
like
we
have
to
have
this
big
brainstorming
session,
because
I
know
you'd
lose
money
on
this,
but
instead
of
investing
in
outreach
and
advertising
and
all
that,
what
if
you
kind
of
take
a
hit
on
say
a
tuesday
night
and
you
turn
in
tuesday
night
into
a
fall
in
love
with
san
jose
again
and
it's
for
us
residents.
We
live
here.
If
we
could,
if
I
could
go
down
there
for
a
hundred
dollars,
I
might,
I
might
just
spend
80
bucks
or
a
hundred
dollars.
J
J
I
just
have
no
reason
to
go
down
there,
but
if
I
had
an
incentive
like
a
really
nice
hotel
room
for
one
night
on
a
tuesday
night
for
80
bucks-
and
I
could
you
know-
walk
around
the
plaza
and
then
you
know
maybe
a
10
off
coupon
to
go
get
a
taco
over
somewhere.
I
mean
that
would
be
fun
for
me
and
I
think
I'm
not
sure
how
to
do
it.
But
you
know
for
those
of
us
that
don't
have
we'll
never
be
able
to
spend
300
on
a
hotel
room
at
night.
J
Never
that
kind
of
cost
like
100
feels
exorbitant
to
me,
but
it
would
be
like
a
night
out
because
we
don't
go
on
vacation.
So
I
don't
know
if
that
could
happen,
but
if
we
could
make
people
come
downtown
again,
maybe
those
of
us
that
that
can't
do
that
and
stay
in
a
fancy,
hotel
and
and
and
swim
in
a
fancy
pool.
I
don't
know,
maybe
we
could
all
fall
in
love
with
san
jose
downtown
again.
Thank
you.
D
D
L
D
I
simply
meant
that
you're
45,
whatever
the
number
was
that
multiplier
of
45
to
1,
was
dollars
to
the
local
economy,
but
I'm
just
curious
what
the
tax
revenue
back
to
the
city
is,
because
that
would
help
us,
I
think,
justify
spending
even
more
if
it
was
if
it
was
even
just
neutral
in
terms
of
revenue
to
the
city,
then
it
would
be
all
the
more
advantageous
for
us
to
keep
spending
those
dollars.
To
kind
of
you
know,
spark
spending
in
the
local
economy
right.
L
Thank
you
councilmember
for
the
great
question,
because
the
buys
are
so
different
and
because
this
is
an
amalgamation
of
the
different
buys.
If
we
do
a
deeper
dive,
we
could
actually
look
at
the
total
revenue
right
so
for
this
month,
cumulative
34
4.5.
We
know
that
tot
is
10
with
an
additional
four
percent.
On
top
of
that
to
pay
back
the
bonds
on
on
the
convention
center
right,
we
know.
A
L
Tax
is
also
with
you
know:
sales
tax
is
also
generated
as
well,
and
that's
nine
point:
three,
eight
percent.
I
believe
it
is
correct
me
if
I'm
wrong
so
e.
The
only
thing
we
cannot
count
is
flights.
Booked
into
sjc
should
not
be
included
in
that
I
can
go
back
to
my
media
buyers,
hopefully
back
out
the
flights
and
then
you'd
get
pure
revenue.
That
tax
was
based
on
and
somewhere
around.
10
of
that
number
should
be
the
tax
benefit
right.
Overall,
that's.
D
Pretty
incredible
because
that
would
imply
still
a
four
to
one
multiplier
effect
on
those
ads
right,
meaning
we're
actually
generating
more
revenue
to
the
city
than
we
are
spending
and,
and
now
we're
very
different
from
from
you
know,
an
internet
advertising
company
right,
but
typically
you
would,
you
know,
want
to
ramp
up
that
marketing
spend
to
the
point
at
which
you
kind
of
hit
saturation
and
you're,
basically,
no
longer,
there's
no
longer
that
that
kind
of
net
that
net
profit
on
it.
So
that's
really
that's
really
interesting.
D
How
scalable,
how
much
more
scalable
do
you
think
that
model
is
if
you
had
twice
as
much
money
on
direct
marketing?
Would
we
with
that
ratio
or
presumably
over
time
that
ratio
is
going
to
come
down
you're
going
to
hit
a
saturation
point,
but
do
we
have
any
indication
of
how
far
away
we
are
from
that
saturation
point.
L
I
would,
I
would
say
we
could
double
it
easily
right
now.
What
we're
looking
at,
just
in
the
last
month,
we've
had
a
three
to
five
percent
increase
in
media
costs
and
we're
buying
based
on
real,
real-time
bidding
right.
That's
how
I'm
getting
people
digitally
so
that's
gone
up.
Additionally,
most
of
our
competitive
set
and
most
of
california
and
domestically
dmos
were
made
capable
to
receive
eda
and
arpa
funding
for
destination
marketing,
because
it's
understood
it's
an
investment
in
economic
development
strategy.
We
have
not
so
so
work.
L
Absolutely
yeah,
absolutely
and-
and
if
I
may
have
offered
one
more
thing,
because
these
are
digital
ads,
we
don't
buy
them
in
advance,
right,
we're
real-time
bidding
them.
So
I
can
stop
this
at
any
time.
Should
they
not
be
delivering,
and
our
board
was
very
careful
about
making
sure
that
we
recorded
reported
quarterly.
So
we
could
ensure
that
the
limited
resources
we
had
were
actually
returning
to
us.
D
Yeah,
that's
fantastic,
I
mean
if
we
can
spend
a
dollar
and
generate
dollars
in
local
activity
for
our
various.
You
know,
businesses
and
hotels
and
whatnot,
and
then
also
be
net
revenue
positive
for
the
for
our
our
balance
sheet
at
the
city.
That's
pretty
impressive,
so
yeah
we'd
love
to
see
us
explore
expanding
that.
Thank
you
I'll
I'll,
move
the
report
and
leave
it
at
that.
Thank
you.
A
Thank
you
and
I
yeah.
I
appreciate
the
the
update
as
well.
Laura
was
this
the
first
significant
investment
we
did
in
leisure
marketing.
I
know
we
had
done
the
the
leisure
marketing
the
business
traveler,
trying
to
get
them
to
stay.
A
little
later
arrive
a
little
earlier.
It
was
this.
Would
you
say
that
was
the
first
more
significant
leisure
investment
we
made.
L
Thank
you
councilmember
absolutely
before
we
did
try
to
extend
safe
for
business
travelers,
we
knew
were
coming
into
the
area
and
we
were
able
to
identify
them
right.
We
wanted
them
to
stay
longer,
to
bring
their
families
to
spend
more.
This
is
the
first
all
leisure
campaign
that
we've
ever
done
and
it's
it
was
actually
larger
than
any
leisure
campaign
we
ever
did,
but
we
knew
there
was
pen-up
demand
right.
We
knew
our
hotels
needed
a
jump
start,
so
we
we
were
really
confident.
It
was
time
to
do
it.
A
A
By
doing
some
of
this
marketing
and
driving
people
to
some
of
those
events.
So
it's
it's
truly
an
investment
into
team
san
jose
into
san
jose
as
a
leisure
location.
But
then
it's
also
a
direct
benefit
and
investment
into
our
local
arts
and
cultural
organizations,
and
so
I'm
excited
about.
I
think
we
need
to
to
continue
that
investment.
A
Hopefully
the
you
know
the
the
hotel
nights
start
to
get
booked
up.
The
convention
center
starts
to
get
booked
up
as
we're
transitioning
and
I
think
we're
all
crossing
the
fingers
right,
transitioning
out
of
the
pandemic
and
you'll
be
able
to
get
some
of
that
that
revenue
back
on
on
your
own
and
within
to
the
team
san
jose
coffers,
but
until
then
I
absolutely
think
it
is
a
worthwhile
investment
for
us
to
to
continue
to
make
as
a
as
a
city.
So
I'm
excited
about
it.
C
Thank
you
great
wonderful,
thank
you.
I
I
had
a
question
about
the
leisure
component
of
our
marketing
campaign
too,
as
it
relates
to
our
live
theater
productions,
they
seem
to
be,
some
of
them
seem
to
be
up
and
running
again.
I
know
many
of
them
were
were
had
issues
because
of
omicron,
but
they
seemed
to
be
back
in
business.
C
So
what
is
the
occupancy
like
the
hammer,
the
california
theater,
the
other
properties?
And
now
I
know
hammer
is
managed
by
san
jose
state
right,
but
what's
the
what's
the
occupant
or
the
number
of
events
that
are
occurring?
Are
you
seeing
those
picking
up?
Because
that
should
relate
to
being
able
to
pull
people
in
to
spend
the
night
or
to
spend
money
here
and
spend
the
night.
A
You
know
real
real,
quick,
like
the
convention
center,
the
theaters
with
omicron
got
hit
pretty
hard
too
january
february
and
and
moving
through,
you
know
a
little
bit
through
march,
but
we're
certainly
picking
up
again.
Broadway
is
full
force
again
we're
starting
to
get
the
concerts
back.
So
omicron
did
hurt
us
for
a
few
months,
like
it
did
the
convention
center,
but
we're
certainly
coming
back
on
the
hall
of
theaters
right
now.
C
Yeah,
that's
good.
I
I
actually
went
to
a
performance
at
the
hammer
theater
that
starting
arts
was
going
to
do
with
their
dream
team
age
group
in
january,
but
they
had
to
postpone
it
until
I
think
just
last
weekend
or
the
weekend
before,
and
it
was
good
to
see
it
was
a
full
crowd.
So
that
was
good
to
see,
live,
theater,
always
but
good
to
see
that
people
are
back
and
not
afraid
to
go
out
in
public
and
wear
masks.
C
If
we
have
to
or
don't
it's
just
taking
it,
however,
they
feel
safest,
but
the
more
we
can
get
people
downtown
and
think
about
spending
the
night
and
I'm
kind
of
with
jill.
I
really
love
fall
in
love
with
san
jose.
I
don't
know
how
you'd
work
that
out
jill
in
relation
to
the
vendors
because
they're
the
ones
that
have
to
offer
the
discounts
and
everything,
but
it's
a
it's
a
good
concept.
Maybe
we
should
coin
that
and
get
it
out
there
marketing
laura.
You
can
steal
that.
C
A
G
F
M
Yes,
reagan
sends
her
regards.
Unfortunately,
she
got
pulled
away
to
an
urgent
regional
meeting
today.
She
asked
me
to
carry
on
in
her
stead.
So
thank
you,
chair
and
council
members,
I'm
kristen
clements
a
division
manager
with
the
housing
department
I'm
joined
today
by
emily
hislop
and
jyn
kim
from
the
housing
department.
M
M
N
Thank
you
kristen
good
afternoon,
chair
and
committee
members.
Briefly,
you
all
heard
this
last
tuesday,
but
our
for
the
state
emergency
rent
relief
program
for
the
city
of
san
jose.
As
of
march
20th,
over
15
684
households
have
completed
applications
and
of
those
71.5
million
has
been
paid
out
to
over
5
500
households.
The
average
amount
of
assistance
has
been
12
390
dollars
at
least
forty.
Nine
percent
of
the
applicants
are
latinx
headed
households
and
at
least
sixty
one
percent
of
these
households
are
earn
less
than
thirty
percent
of
the
area.
N
N
I
I
will
note
the
current
legislation,
but
right
now
there
there's
two
levels
of
protection
that
are
in
place
and,
what's
not
going
to
change,
is
that
for
kobet
19
impacted
tenants
who
have
unpaid
rent
debt
between
march
2020
and
september
30th
2021
that
unpaid
rent
can
never
be
the
basis
of
an
eviction
it
turns
into
civil
debt.
So
those
tenants
with
any
unpaid
rent
from
that
time,
more
impacted
are
still
covered
and
will
continue
to
be
covered.
N
So,
right
now
and
and
probably
with
the
pending
legislation,
tenants
must
be
prepared
to
pay
april
rent
and
forward.
So
if
they
can't
do
that,
we
they
have
to
and,
like
I
said,
the
the
state
rent
relief
program
is
only
funding
rent
through
march
31st.
So
tenants
who
are
still
in
need
are
going
to
need
to
seek
out
other
resources
and
the
protections
that
were
set
to
expire,
that
many
people
were
concerned
about
were
that
those
tenants
that
had
pending
applications
and
that
they
could
be
vulnerable
after
april.
N
N
It,
and
it
also
a
big
point-
would
preempt
any
local
legislation
about
rent
debt
during
that
time.
You'll
learn
more
at
the
city
council
meeting
tomorrow
during
during
the
intergovernmental
relations
report,
but
I
wanted
to
note
that
here
because
council
did
direct
housing
to
come
back
with
a
proposed
urgency
ordinance
for
april
for
those
impacted,
tenants,
april
and
forward,
but
if
this
legislation
passes,
which
it
needs
to
go
and
be
passed
voted
on
this
week,
we
would
be
preempted
from
legislating
that
period
of
time.
N
As
part
of
our
cobit
19
response,
the
housing
department
has
amped
up
efforts
in
the
area
of
legal
assistance.
We
expanded
legal
aid
services
and
we
have
legal
aid
organizations
that
serve
tenants
at
the
our
eviction,
help
centers
and
remotely
we're
working
on
an
rfp
for
a
right
to
council
study,
and
recently
we
were
partnered
with
superior
court
and
other
eviction
court
stakeholders
to
support
the
court
in
their
application
for
an
eviction
diversion
program
that
would
be
funded
by
the
national
center
for
state
courts.
N
The
court
made
it
through
the
second
round
and
it's
truly
a
collaborative
program
if
it
were
to
be
funded,
and
we
should
know
in
a
week
or
two,
even
if
that
doesn't
get
funded,
we
are
working
together
with
the
stakeholders
to
work
towards
a
housing
collaborative
court
with
stakeholders
there
to
provide
litigants
with
resources
and
to
help
them
resolve
outside
of
court.
We
are
also
working
with
santa
clara
university
law
school
to
develop
a
legal
clinic
where
law
students
can
do
life
touch
legal
tasks
under
supervision
of
attorneys.
N
As
the
we
knew
that
the
eviction
protections
were
ending
kind
of
abruptly
march
31st,
we
put
our
heads
together
with
the
county
and
other
stakeholders
on
the
court
about
what
we
could
do
to
try
and
avoid
eviction
and
also
get
landlords
funded,
because
the
main
concern
was
the
tenants
who
have
pending
applications
and
the
for
lack
of
a
network,
the
very
slow
pace
of
the
state
processing.
These
applications.
They
weren't
going
to
process
enough
applications
to
protect
tenants
from
risk
of
eviction.
N
N
We
would
work
with
the
parties
to
and
the
county
to,
download
the
the
party's
applications
for
rent
relief
from
the
state,
and
then
we
would
process
them
that
ourselves
using
era
1
funds
that
are
left
over
from
the
local
program
there's
only
a
limited
amount
of
funding.
So
that's
why
we're
trying
to
really
hone
in
on
people
who
are
at
the
precipice
of
eviction
in
exchange
for
covering
this
full
amount?
N
The
landlord
would
receive
payment
within
a
couple
weeks
and
the
landlord
would
dismiss
the
eviction
lawsuit
and
the
tenant
would
be
expected
to
pay
current
rent
or,
if
they
are
in
the
situation
and
they're
still
struggling
and
other
resources
need
to
be
obtained,
and
they
do
need
to
move
out
at
some
point.
They
would
at
least
get
some
more
time,
coupled
with
assistance
from
our
homelessness
prevention
system.
M
The
purpose
of
this
legislation
is
to
recognize
residents
who
are
vulnerable
to
displacement
as
a
type
of
a
person
worthy
of
special
consideration,
apart
from
the
general
public.
This
bill,
therefore,
would
let
affordable
housing
financing
sources
like
tax
credits
and
bonds
to
be
used
for
development
for
these
kinds
of
preferences.
M
We
reported
last
time
that
this
became
a
two-year
bill
and
it
is
currently
being
considered
in
the
new
legislative
session.
It
should
be
going
into
assembly
policy
committees
in
june
and
we're
starting
to
have
to
be
asked
to
answer
questions
again
as
to
why
this
bill
is
needed,
and
you
can
see
that
staffers
are
trying
to
get
their
heads
around
the
bill
and
the
need
for
the
bill.
Again.
M
We
did
have
a
productive
meeting
with
the
states
being
with
senator
cortese's
office
earlier
in
march,
which
was
a
long-awaited
meeting
and
at
the
meeting
senator
sorry
senior
hcd
staffers
clarified
that
they
may
have
comments
on
the
bill
later
on,
but
that
you
know
they
were
in
their
minds.
We
should
proceed
with
the
legislation
and
in
the
second
bullet,
they
also
clarified
that
they
still
were
working
on
forthcoming
guidance
on
how
to
do
preferences
so
that
they
as
a
lender
could
approve
those
tenant
preferences.
M
That
is
a
new
clarification
in
our
minds.
We
weren't
sure
what
the
legal
underpinnings
were
going
to
be
of
what
their
memo
was
going
to
say.
So
that
was
helpful
and,
as
a
reminder,
the
state
would
need
to
sign
off
on
the
city's
preferences,
to
the
extent
that
we
wanted
to
use
them
in
buildings
that
had
state
financing
in
them
as
well
and
because
county
measure,
a
funds
are
nearly
depleted.
We
think
that
the
state
funding
will
become
increasingly
important
in
san
jose.
So
that's
why
we've
been
pursuing
their
approval
all
this
time.
M
We
were
sad
to
say
goodbye
to
one
of
our
key
team
members
in
february,
as
our
two-year
fellow
ace
and
ndi
ended
his
fellowship
through
the
partnership
for
the
bay's
future
and
so
to
add
additional
firepower
to
tenant
preferences
and
other
work.
You
can
see
it's
very
time
consuming
and
operating
on
several
levels.
We
are
applying
for
a
fuse
fellow
to
join
the
team,
and
hopefully
that
will
proceed
next
slide
talking
about
the
community
opportunity
to
purchase
program.
M
M
Our
final
counts
that
we
held
16
meetings
with
our
technical
and
stakeholder
advisory
committees.
We
engaged
over
50
organizations
and
167
different
attendees
to
help
co-design
a
program.
Participants
included,
tenants,
housing
policy
organizations,
the
realtors
property
owners,
property
managers,
brokers,
affordable
developers,
market
rate
developers
and
lenders,
among
others,
and
by
the
way,
the
san
francisco
foundation.
Our
funder
highlighted
this
structure
and
this
process
as
kind
of
a
best
practice
in
one
of
their
newsletters.
They
really
liked
the
work
we
are
doing.
M
Our
consultant
darren,
driscoll,
facilitated
all
of
this
work
and
prepared
a
summary
report.
We're
going
to
be
posting
that,
on
our
copa
webpage
in
december
and
january,
we
moved
on
to
our
second
phase
of
broad
public
outreach
with
a
public
review
period
on
the
draft
program
proposal.
For
for
copa
seasoning,
we
held
seven
public
meetings
on
zoom.
M
M
In
addition,
we
continued
other
stakeholder
meetings
outside
of
these
processes.
We
had
done
25
meetings
earlier
in
that
seven
month
period
you
could
see
the
work's
been
very
intense
and,
besides
the
loss
of
our
fellow
who
was
doing
a
lot
of
the
heavy
lifting
on
presentations,
our
tiny
policy
team
has
become
fully
engrossed
right
now
and
creating
a
new
draft
housing
element
for
the
next
cycle
for
20
20
23
to
2031..
M
There
are
about
10
staffers
in
planning,
housing
and
the
office
of
economic
development,
working
very
very
intensely
on
the
housing
element
right
now,
and
so
there's
a
very
high
priority
project
for
the
whole
city.
There
are
more
laws
than
ever
as
to
how
cities
must
do
the
housing
element
it's
more
complicated
than
it's
ever
been,
so,
unfortunately
that
means
we
had
to
take
a
short
pause
on
our
copa
work
for
the
next
few
months.
N
We're
finalizing
the
recommendations
to
add
a
new
lift
experience
with
homelessness
seat
to
the
commission,
developing
guidelines
and
resources,
as
well
as
a
stipend
model
for
the
lived
experiencing
commissioner,
and
so
that
we
can
bring
forward
to
council
in
april
and
during
the
past
quarter,
staff
has
continued
to
engage
various
community
stakeholders,
especially
groups
with
members
who
are
or
have
been
on
house.
And
most
recently
we
presented
the
recommendations
to
the
commission
on
february
10th.
N
We
are
planning
to
return
to
the
commission
in
april
in
mid-april
to
clarify
council
direction
on
the
stipend
for
for
the
lived
experience
commission
seat
only,
we
had
previously
presented
a
stipend
model
for
all
httc
commissioners,
so
we're
returning
and
last
of
all
staff
also
recommends
that
the
lived
experience
seat
commissioner,
be
nominated
by
the
mayor
at
this
time.
As
the
mayor
currently
nominates
city-wide
commission
seats
and
the
council
appointment
advisory
commission
that
staff
had
initially
considered
has
been
unable
to
meet
due
to
a
lack
of
qualms.
M
Thanks
so
looking
forward
to
the
next
quarter
for
the
covid
response
and
recovery,
there's
a
final
push
to
get
as
many
people
to
apply
through
the
end
of
the
month
as
possible,
continue
to
operate.
The
eviction,
help
centers
and
reach
people
with
education
and
outreach
about
resources
that
are
available
for
them,
create
the
eviction,
diversion
program
and
work
on
law,
the
law,
clinics
creation
with
santa
clara
university
and
will
be
returning
to
council
in
april
with
the
eviction,
moratorium
or
tenant
protection
ordinance.
Next
steps
for
tenant
preferences.
M
We
are
keeping
the
bill,
support,
going
and
starting
to
work
again
on
support
with
stakeholders
and
then
hcd
whenever
they
are
ready
applying
for
the
fuse
fellow
for
staff
capacity
increases
and
then,
whenever
the
state
issues
its
guidance,
we
will
do
our
best
to
start
the
analysis.
So
we
can
get
that
going
as
fast
as
we
can
for
coppa.
M
Commissioner,
after
jyn
comes
back
to
the
housing
and
community
development
commission
on
april
14th,
we'll
be
working
on
council
approvals,
munico
changes
and
then
recruitment
and
training
plans
and
starting
the
recruitment,
and
with
that
we
are
open
for
questions
and
we're
joined
now
with
jackie,
our
esteemed
director,
who
can
help
answer
any
questions.
Thank
you.
C
B
All
right,
thank
you,
will
be
been
here
thanks
a
lot
for
this
report,
like
I
tried
to
report
earlier,
just
a
thank
you
to
our.
You
know:
persons
at
the
state
level
who
are
working
to
extend
the
eviction
moratorium
process
until
I
think
it's
the
end
of
june,
and
it's
not
just
for
tenants
it's
for
owners
too
and
yeah.
B
I
don't
quite
know
it's
it's
guidelines
and
restrictions,
but
it's
definitely
worth
asking
about
if
you're,
a
tenant
or
owner-
and
things
can
continue
at
this
time
and
they're
in
the
in
the
way
they're
in
the
place
to
be
able
to
continue.
So
thank
you
to
everyone
for
for
your
work.
So
this
can
happen.
B
So
just
just
to
thank
you
again
for
this
item
and
and
everybody's
good
work.
I
wanted
to
remind
with
this
item
in
the
next
item
that
the
future
of
planning
for
things
like
topa
and
copa
and
and
just
overall,
more
just
in
terms
of
how
to
deal
with
the
future
of
housing
issues
and
especially
low-income
housing
and
unhoused
people.
Housing
issues
we're
receiving
a
lot
of
subsidy
money
and
the
california
state
is,
is
really
building
a
future
of
subs
how
to
practice
subsidy
spending
and
grant
money
to
local
communities.
B
C
A
B
C
M
O
Well,
good
afternoon
there
you
go
hi
hi,
chair,
it's
nathan
and
I'm
going
to
be
kicking
us
off
quickly
here.
So
my
name
is
nathan,
donato
weinstein.
Thank
you,
chair,
foley
and
committee
members
for
having
us
today.
I
am
with
the
office
of
economic
development
and
cultural
affairs,
and
I
am
joined
today
by
blage
zalalich,
who
is
currently
our
deputy
director
for
business
development.
O
So
I'm
not
going
to
spend
much
time
on
our
unemployment
rate
and
the
trends,
because
you're
actually
going
to
hear
more
detail
about
that
from
the
work
to
future
team
next,
but
I'll
leave
you
with
the
good
news,
which
is
that
our
unemployment
rate
continues
to
decline
and
is
actually
lower
than
the
3.5
number
you
see
on
your
screen,
because
the
new
numbers
just
came
out.
However,
our
communities
of
color
continue
to
experience
higher
rates
of
unemployment,
although
those
rates
have
also
declined.
O
Since
we
last
visited
with
you
in
september
blogging,
if
you
can
move
to
the
next
slide,
you
saw
this
slide
last
fall.
This
is
looking
at
the
jobs
recovery
by
industry,
and,
what's
really
good
news
here,
is
that
our
lagging
industry
sectors,
those
on
the
right,
have
actually
started
to
recover
more
of
the
jobs
that
they
had
lost.
When
we
last
saw
you,
they
were
really
really
lagging.
O
So
some
mixed
signals
for
you
once
again.
First
is
top
line
consumer
spending,
which
is
a
huge
contributor
to
making
our
economy
go
round,
and
on
this
front,
our
metro
area
has
recovered
and
in
fact,
we
have
recovered
to
pre
and
even
exceeding
pre-covered
rates
of
consumer
spending
for
the
better
part
of
a
year,
with
the
exception
of
some
sectors
like
restaurants
and
entertainment,
and
then
on.
The
bottom
of
the
screen
is
sort
of
a
little
bit
of
a
buzz
kill,
which
is
our
resonant.
O
Mobility
continues
to
lag
other
metro
areas
and
by
mobility
I
mean
how
much
are
our
residents
kind
of
being
out
and
about,
and
that's
primarily
due
to
work
from
home,
and
when
we
look
at
recent
data
from
google
movement,
we
have
not
seen
a
significant
uptick
so
far
this
year
in
workplace
mobility
patterns,
we're
gonna
be
tracking
that
really
closely
as
we
go
through
the
year
next
slide,
and
just
a
quick
super
stark
reminder
of
this.
This
is
the
chart
that
castle
systems
puts
out.
O
This
is
key
card
data
which
shows
san
jose
is
ever
so
slightly
ahead
of
san
francisco
in
terms
of
workers
actually
being
in
the
office,
but
we're
below
most
of
those
other
metros.
Now
this
is
for
office.
Workers
and
kind
of
the
interesting
and
unique
thing
about
san
jose
is
actually
a
huge
part
of
our
employment
base
does
not
work
in
an
office
and
if
you
were
in
manufacturing
or
many
types
of
research
or
retail,
you've
been
at
work
the
whole.
O
So
numbers
and
statistics
are
awesome,
but
what
is
actually
surfacing
as
concerns
from
small
businesses
on
the
ground?
Well,
here's
a
sampling.
We
go
out
every
week
every
week
or
every
other
week
and
do
a
business
walk
and
try
to
talk
to
business
owners
in
the
community
and
just
a
few
of
the
things
that
they
talk
about.
These
are
not.
O
A
lot
of
these
are
not
that
different
from
before
the
pandemic,
but
in
some
cases
the
issues
and
concerns
have
been
heightened
because
they've
been
impacted
by
the
unique
dynamics
caused
by
the
pandemic
pandemic
in
its
aftermath
blog
a
if
you
can
zoom
forward.
Thank
you
so
yeah
inflation
supply
chain
issues
and
kind
of
the
general.
P
Thanks
nate,
so
now
that
we've
toured
some
of
the
current
statistics
and
concerns
that
we've
heard
from
our
small
business
community,
let's
transition
to
what
our
business
development
team's
current
work
is
and
our
upcoming
work.
So
this
is
pretty
obvious,
but
it
bears
reminding.
We
are
not
where
we
were
in
2020
or
even
in
2021,
and
the
current
approach
is
more
focused
on
how
businesses
can
be
strengthened
through
capacity
and
community
community
building.
As
we'll
see.
F
P
And
now
it
does
okay
technology,
you
gotta
love
it.
So
what
does
this
look
like?
Here?
Are
six
pillars
of
the
work
that
we've
embarked
on
I'll
tour
you
through
a
few
of
these
pillars
through
this
presentation,
but
not
everything
for
a
more
in-depth
dive
into
this.
Please
see
our
memo
that
goes
into
greater
depth.
P
So
a
good
example
of
this
is
the
new
city
grant
program.
It
was
just
approved
by
council
last
week
and
that
will
launch
in
the
next
few
weeks.
This
program
is
going
to
be
specifically
targeted
to
businesses
that
have
residual
rent
debt
under
the
now
ended
commercial
eviction,
moratorium
and
those
businesses
that
have
fewer
than
10
employees.
P
In
addition,
we're
amping
up
our
efforts
to
promote
the
accessibility,
compliance
reimbursement
program
or
the
casp
program
that
we
currently
have,
and
our
storefronts
grant
program
has
been
tweaked
slightly
so
that
now
it
is
an
upfront
grant
versus
a
reimbursement
with
respect
to
cultural
funding.
Investing
in
our
arts
and
cultural
sector
is
also
part
of
our
small
business
recovery
strategy,
and
so
our
colleagues
in
the
office
of
cultural
affairs
are
currently
completing
over
a
hundred
fiscal
year.
2122
grants
to
nonprofit
arts
and
cultural
organizations
on
the
technical
assistant
side.
P
P
But,
as
I
mentioned,
not
least,
we
are
really
trying
to
focus
on
assisting
the
most
vulnerable
in
our
business
community
in
in
whatever
way
that
might
be,
and
we
talked
about
the
fact
that
really
kind
of
meeting
people
where
they
are,
but
also
in
the
language
that
they
most
are
most
comfortable
with,
has
really
been
kind
of
a
key
pivot
in
our
business.
Outreach
efforts.
P
So
with
these
both
additional
language
capabilities
and
just
broadening
our
team.
We're
going
to
better
able
to
target
the
understood,
underserved
communities
and
partner
with
community-based
organizations
already
working
in
those
communities,
and
with
that
I'd
like
to
just
conclude
by
saying
that
the
team
is
very
excited
about
the
work
that
we're
doing
and
going
to
be
doing,
to
assist
and
strengthen
our
small
business
community.
And
we
look
forward
to
the
positive
and,
most
importantly,
long-lasting
results
from
our
efforts
and
with
that
nathan.
P
C
B
Hi
claire
beekman,
like
within
the
previous
item,
we
may
not
be
receiving
continual
funding.
You
know
from
this
from
the
covet
era
in
the
in
the
large
amounts
that
we
were,
that
reagan
henninger
often
describes,
but
the
way
that
the
funding
was
set
up
from
the
federal
level.
They
gave
a
lot
of
money
to
the
state
level
and
they
are
expecting
the
state
of
california
to
develop
some.
B
I
hope
we
can
learn
to
more
openly
talk
about,
because
it's
with
that,
like
with
the
previous
item
that
you
know
with
the
small
business
plans
here
and
the
previous
item
with
housing
goals,
we
we
really
need
to
learn
to
organize
and
ask
what
can
how
we
can
use
subsidy
programs
to
help
our
most
vulnerable
and
people
who
really
need
the
help?
We
can
do
that
better
now
and
it's
a
matter
of
really
organizing
that
and
explaining
it
to
the
community
and
to
each
other
exactly
what
we
we
will
be
doing
that
will
create.
B
You
know,
trust
and
not
fear
and
that's
important.
We
can't
be
fearful
going
forward
with
this
sort
of
things.
We
don't
like
to
talk
about
subsidies
yet
they're,
always
a
part
of
our
lives
and
been
a
big
important
factor
in
our
lives,
and
it's
a
time
that
we
need
to.
You
know
just
be
open
with
each
other
and
describe
what's
available,
and
what
is
our
future
is
possible
of
and
good
luck
in
working
towards
that
and
making
a
trustful
future
process
with
subsidy
issues.
Thank
you.
C
C
Q
Great
good
afternoon,
madam
chair
and
good
good
afternoon
good
afternoon
and
city
council
members,
I'm
jeff
ruster,
I'm
with
the
office
of
economic
development
and
I'm
joined
by
my
colleagues
today,
monique
melchor
lawrence
ii
nguyen
pham
and
ruby
carrasco
and,
as
the
chair
has
mentioned,
we're
here
today
to
provide
you
with
an
update
on
that
component
of
the
city's
road
map
that
relates
to
re-employment
and
workforce
development
as
well
as
present
some
of
the
key
activities
and
accomplishments
of
the
work
to
future
program
over
the
last
year.
Or
so.
Q
But
really
since
about
that
time,
and
with
omicron
being
somewhat
of
the
exception,
there
has
been
a
steady
decline
in
the
unemployment
rate
to
2.9
today,
as
of
february,
which
is
only
slightly
higher
than
what
we
stood
back
in
february
of
2020
at
2.5,
which
was
a
near
historic
loan.
But
we
all
know
that
doesn't
tell
the
story
of
what
covet
has
done
to
our
economy
into
our
employment
situation
and
in
my
mind,
I
think,
as
the
team
talks
about
this,
there
are
really
two
things.
Q
What
covid
really
has
done
has
really
accelerated
the
transformation
of
our
local
labor
markets.
We
all
knew
and
really
starting
in
2005
baby
boomers
were
retiring
at
about
3
million
individuals
every
year
and
their
children
and
grandchildren
were
not
coming
close
to
replacing
them,
and
I
think
that
exodus
of
baby
boomers
was
somewhat
masked
by
the
fact
that
female
worker
participation
roads
have
risen
significantly
in
recent
decades,
so
kind
of
offset
that
effect.
Q
But
what
the
riptide
really
has
been
in
terms
of
now
declining
labor
availability
has
really
been
around
prime
age
working
males,
25
to
54.
their
labor
market
participation
rates
are
down
by
about
six
or
seven
percent.
They
are
getting
their
first
jobs
later
they
are
getting
married
later.
They
are
having
children
later
and
they're
buying
homes
later,
so
that
has
significant
impact
on
both
the
employment
situation
and
on
wealth
accumulation
and
transfer,
and
so,
as
you
had
this
tightening
of
the
labor
markets.
Well,
we
have
seen
a
couple
things
that
have
happened.
Q
Employers
all
around
the
country
and
also
in
here
in
our
region
have
raised
wages
roughly
over
the
last
year,
wages
have
increased
by
about
11
and
a
half
percent
they've
also
accelerated
what
they
were
doing
before
and
that
is
lowering
their
educational
requirements,
specifically
four-year
college
degrees
they're.
Waiving
that
requirement
more
for
those
middle
tier
jobs
and
advanced
manufacturing
in
I.t.
Q
So
that's
the
good
news,
but
we
all
know
that
inflation
has
eroded
wages
and
inflation
hits
particularly
hard
for
low
income,
lower
skilled
workers,
as
they
spend
a
higher
percentage
of
their
income
on
food
on
gasoline.
On
shelter
and
other
basic
necessities,
and
if
we
peel
back
the
this
onion
kind
of
one
one
more
very
important
layer
and
if
you
could
go
to
the
next
slide,
we
back
in
2018,
we
did
a
study
because
we
were
hearing
from
national
policy
makers,
state
policy
makers,
national.
Q
Q
So
again,
the
second
thing
that
kova
has
done
has
really
kind
of
exacerbated
the
very
difficult
situation
for
a
significant
percentage
of
our
of
our
community.
So
so
what
does
this
mean
for
for
work?
The
future
and
our
partners,
and
our
strategy
well
in
terms
of
who
we
were
focused
on
and
have
been
focused
on?
Nothing
really
changed.
Q
Work
to
future
has
always
been
very
focused
on
lower
wage,
lower
skilled
individuals,
both
with
our
federally
funded
program,
where
about
80
of
our
clients,
our
people
of
color,
and
also
with
the
san
jose
works
program
where
about
92
of
our
our
clients,
our
youth,
our
youth
of
color.
So
that
wasn't
really
what
the
change
was.
But
really
what
we
had
to
do
was
radically
rethink
our
outreach
strategies,
our
service
delivery
strategies
and
the
actual
menu
of
services
that
we
were
offering
to
people
during
these
very
difficult
times.
Q
R
Good
afternoon
cheerfully
and
members
of
the
committee,
my
name
is
monique
meltzer
and
I'm
the
division
manager
for
work
to
future.
So
just
jeff
mentioned
there
were
a
lot
of
individuals
that
were
struggling
at
this
point
in
regards
to
just
you
know,
being
able
to
find
employment,
if
that
was
something
that
they
had
lost
during
the
pandemic.
So
in
response,
when
we
were
doing
the
vaccine
in
food
distribution,
what
we
did
was
we
really
wanted
to
get
those
individuals
introduced
to
our
services.
R
So
we
were
really
doing
a
lot
of
outreach
at
those
events
because
we
knew
people
were
getting
vaccines
and,
of
course,
there
were
people
that
were
in
need
of
food.
So
we
made
sure
that
we
were
also
there
to
give
them
information
about
our
services.
We
converted
to
100
online
service
delivery
at
the
beginning
of
the
pandemic
april,
2020
around
that
time
frame.
It
also
included
telephone.
So
we
want
to
make
sure
that
you
know
individuals
that
didn't
have
access
to
computer
could
still
call
us
and
have
a
conversation
with
one
of
our
case
managers.
R
We
opened
our
services
for
non-enrolled
clients.
What
we
did
was
we
made
available
our
employment
information
on
our
website
so
that
everyone
can
see
local
hiring
that
was
happening
within
the
city
and
around
the
city,
so
that
individuals
that
maybe
had
lost
their
jobs
could
do
some
type
of
stop
gap.
Employment.
R
We
did
direct
outreach
to
the
community,
the
community
that
was
hit
hardest.
We
went
out
there
and
made
sure
that
these
individuals
knew
about
our
services
and
any
way
we
could
do
that.
We
just
kind
of
tagged
along,
as
I
mentioned,
with
the
vaccine
and
the
food
distribution
sites,
and
we
continue
to
do
that.
We're
still
reaching
out
to
the
community
to
make
sure
that
they
know,
and
especially
because
we
just
moved
that
we're
going
to
be
providing
services
in
those
hard
to
reach
areas
which
are
the
marginalized
communities.
R
The
next
slide,
please,
we
relocated
to
our
new
one.
Stop
on
the
east
side
on
las
plumas
1608
las
plumas,
which
is
a
really
great
facility,
and
hopefully
now,
with
the
mandates,
dropping
we're
going
to
be
able
to
serve
a
lot
more
people
who
can
walk
into
our
center,
but
still
we're
going
to
have
any
type
of
remote
service
available
for
individuals.
R
We've
enhanced
our
partnerships
with
the
libraries
so
that
they
understand
what
workforce
is
and
how
we
share
our
workforce
information
to
the
library,
so
they
can
help
individuals
that
come
in.
We
are
engaging
with
community
members
outside
of
work
to
future
with
bridge
to
recovery,
and
we
created
a
workforce
board
youth
forum
just
to
make
sure
that
we
were
reaching
out
to
other
entities,
and
that
was
60
plus
other
organizations
that
were
working
with.
We
conducted
two
more
rfps
to
enhance,
enhance
outreach
and
augment
our
youth
services.
R
R
Eighty
percent
of
those
clients
were
clients
we
did,
and
I
want
to
make
sure
that
I
emphasize
this.
We
met
our
federally
mandated
performance
requirements,
even
though
we
were
in
the
middle
of
a
pandemic,
and
that
was
very
important.
We
still
wanted
to
make
sure
that
the
clients
knew
that
there
were
services
available
and
jobs.
Most
importantly
for
our
san
jose
works
program.
We
served
a
thousand
youth
and
again
this
is
really
important.
Q
Q
Next
slide
here
is
one
of
our
key
partners,
the
latino
business
foundation
and
a
couple
of
the
youth
that
participated
in
the
small
business
employment
pathway
associated
with
that
program.
These
two
individuals,
these
two
young
adults
here,
were
trained
in
the
areas
of
digital
marketing
and
have
been
working
with
flea
market
vendors
and
other
small
businesses
on
on
the
east
side
to
help
attract
more
clients.
Q
Next
slide,
the
next
six
to
12
months,
I'm
gonna
hand
it
back
to
monique,
and
here
we,
but
we
will
be
launching
phase
two
of
the
resiliency
core
program.
This
will
be
funded
with
californians
for
all
funding
and
we
plan
on
serving
275
youth
and
again
per
the
direction
we
receive
from
council
member
esparza
and
aurenas,
and
their
blue
memo
associated
with
the
proposal
of
this
program.
We're
very
much
targeting
individuals
in
the
low
resources
census,
tracts.
R
And
we're
doing
that
primarily
we're
going
to
be
hiring
a
spanish-speaking
outreach
specialist
to
give
information
on
our
services,
especially
to
the
latin
communities.
So
they
can
have
an
one-on-one
interaction
with
that
individual,
especially
if
you
know
they're
having
difficulties
with
their
language,
they
can
speak
to
them
in
their
in
their
language,
spanish
speaking,
so
we're
looking
forward
to
that
and
it'll
be
in
those
marginalized
areas,
as
jeff
mentioned
so
she'll,
be
he
or
she
will
be
doing
a
lot
of
outreach.
R
We're
distributing
online
training
licenses
to
individuals
that
are
available
in
english
and
spanish,
and
this
is
really
a
great,
and
this
is
available
to
all
the
clients
you
don't
necessarily
have
to
be
enrolled,
but
it's
a
good
segue
into
our
services
and
a
good
segue
into
individuals,
just
learning
how
to
do
self-directed
type
of
training,
because
it
is
self-directed.
But
it's
a
great
opportunity.
It's
a
five
thousand
dollar
cat,
five
thousand
dollar.
R
R
We
had
the
first
pandemic
that
we're
the
first
excuse
me
the
first
job
fair
that
was
available
remotely,
so
that
was
really
great
for
us
as
a
workforce
development
board,
but
now
we're
able
to
do
them
in
person
and
we're
going
to
be
making
sure
that
they
are
in
the
low
resource
census
track
areas.
The
first
one
will
be
in
april
at
in
las
plumas,
our
new
site,
1608
las
plumas.
R
For
those
of
you
who
haven't
been
able
to
venture
out
there,
the
next
one
will
be
at
the
tully
branch
library
in
may
and
then
hopefully,
at
the
mexican
heritage,
plaza
sometime
in
june
or
july,
so
we're
going
to
make
sure
that
we're
really
going
out
to
those
communities
so
that
they
can
know
about
our
services
and
especially
our
brand
new
location.
That's
around
the
corner
next
slide,
please!
R
This
is
just
a
picture
of
a
sly
job,
fair
that
we
had
pre-pandemic
hoping
to
get
back
to
that
normalcy.
It's
great
interacting
with
individuals,
and
we
just
definitely
want
to
get
back
into
doing
that.
It's
great
to
have
those
one-on-one
conversations
in
the
next
six
to
12
months.
We
are
looking
at
some
new
initiatives,
we're
going
to
be
developing
partnerships
to
serve
non-wia
clients.
R
We
have
that
big
beautiful
space,
so
we're
allowing
a
lot
of
partners
to
come
on
board
and
hopefully
they're
going
to
be
sharing
some
entrepreneurship,
training,
computer
literacy,
training
and
financial
education
training
and
a
lot
of
these
trainings
we're
hoping
are
going
to
be
available
in
spanish.
For
that
community.
We're
going
to
be
conducting
our
in-demand
occupational
training,
pg
e
power
pathways
and
the
pre-apprenticeship
program
are
programs
that
we've
had
for
quite
a
bit
of
time
and
they
are
fantastic.
R
There's
a
huge
need
in
santa
clara
county
and
and
that's
one
part
that
we
really
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
getting
into
healthcare
and
a
lot
of
individuals
can
take
advantage
of
that,
especially
in
the
marginalized
areas
where
maybe
just
a
certificate
is
needed.
If
they
don't
have
that
degree
that
a
lot
of
people
are
looking
for
next
slide,
and
it's
just
our
us
at
work
providing
a
workshop
to
individuals
next
slide
that
actually
ends.
R
Q
Thanks,
you
did
great
monique,
thank
you
and
again
I
just
want
to
thank
the
team.
I
think
all
our
partners,
we
work
very
closely
with
the
library,
with
parks
and
rec,
with
people
like
goodwill
and
other
community-based
agencies
and
also
the
council.
The
council
has
been
great
in
terms
of
helping
us
to
get
the
word
out
for
all
our
programs.
I
would
highlight
the
resiliency
corps
program
we
were,
that
was
when
we
were
kind
of
the
con.
Q
We
were
retrenching
a
little
bit
from
the
opening
of
the
economy,
so
the
outreach
that
the
offices
did
particularly
those
with
high
numbers
of
low
resource
census,
tracts
really
helped
make
that
program
happen
over
that
very
difficult
summer
of
last
year.
So
that
concludes
our
presentation
and
we're
here
for
any
questions
you
might
have.
C
S
Yes,
hello
good
afternoon,
madam
chair
and
city
council
members,
my
name
is
jesus
flores,
executive,
director
of
the
latino
business
foundation,
silicon
valley,
thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
speak
today
in
regards
to
the
resilience
corp
program
that
we
are
part
of,
in
collaboration
with
the
office
of
economic
development
and
goodwill
of
silicon
valley.
To
this
collaboration,
we
have
been
able
to
assist
many
small
businesses
to
strengthen
their
digital
marketing
knowledge
with
the
help
of
our
interns.
S
Our
interns
have
been
working
one-on-one
with
them,
like
with
vicky
castron,
a
single
mother
business
owner
who,
with
the
help
of
our
interns,
now,
has
a
very
strong
social
media
presence
with
rich
video
and
graphics
to
showcase
her
products.
Biki
has
also
was
also
trained
by
our
interns
to
create
her
own
videos,
facebook
posts
and
advertising,
which
is
now
generating
new
clients.
For
her,
we
understand
the
funding,
for
this
program
is
limited,
and
we
would
like
to
respectfully
request
your
support
to
continue
this
program.
S
It
will
be
of
wonderful
value
to
continue
providing
these
services
to
our
small
businesses
that
are
in
great
need
of
this
assistance
and,
of
course,
it
will
be
fantastic
to
keep
these
young
hard-working
interns
employed
after
they
were
severely
affected
by
covet
in
some
of
the
most
underserved
areas
in
our
city.
I
thank
you
again
and
thank
you
to
the
office
of
economic
development
for
the
opportunity
to
be
part
of
this
program.
Thank
you.
C
B
All
right
I'll
try
to
make
this
shortage
public
comment
time.
Just
to
thank
you
for
this
item.
I
I
don't
want
to
make
a
habit
of
like
endorsing
mayoral
candidates.
I
want
to
be
partisan.
I
want
an
equal
and
when
there
was
a
recent
man's
forum
and
mayor
candidate
forum
and
when
someone
speaks
a
good
point,
I
hope
I
can
bring
it
up
at
public
common
time
to
just
comment
on
a
good
public
comment
and
raul
perales
at
the
end
of
his
wrapping
up.
B
He,
he
said
the
words
that
he
was
really
working
on
a
future
of
good
jobs
for
the
future
of
san
jose
and
what
can
be
good
job.
You
know
ideas,
and
this
really
seems
it.
It
really
struck
a
good
chord
in
me
when
he
said
that-
and
this
seems
an
important
work
in
that
effort
and
good
luck
in
your
efforts.
This
sounds
like
an
interesting
item
and
thank
you.
M
M
We
get
this
person
in
the
right
job
that
will
pay
them
enough,
that
they
can
stay
here
in
san
jose
and
grow
and
prosper
and
raise
a
family
so
really
hoping
they
can
do
more
of
that,
and
also
to
lift
up
the
pilot
attempts
to
be
able
to
serve
non-wioa
clients.
That
parts
is
a
little
more
technical,
but
wioa
really
limits
who
we
as
work
to
future
are
able
to
serve.
A
C
C
G
T
T
T
I
I
It
also
sought
more
effective
and
efficient
operations
at
our
sites,
including
finding
additional
funding
sources
to
build
and
operate
emergency
room
housing
sites
and
coordination
with
the
county
related
to
providing
services.
These
facilities,
the
city
currently
is
operating
them
on
their
own,
and
we
think
partnership
with
the
county
would
improve
service
and
really
control
costs.
The
city
and
then
the
recently
approved
march
budget
message
reiterated
and
refined
that
direction
from
last
september,
and
we
factored
that
into
the
status
report
and
we're
factoring
that
into
our
work.
T
We
just
received
word
or
not
just
received,
but
we
received
word
earlier
this
month
that
both
of
those
projects
were
not
funded
through
the
first
round
of
regional
funding.
However
they're
both
still
on
the
waiting
list
and
we're
hopeful
that
we'll
hear
something
about
the
statewide
state-wide
round
of
funding
by
the
end
of
this
month,
so
we'll
know,
hopefully
within
the
next
few
days,
we
also
have
two
home
key
applications
that
are
in
development.
As
you
can
see,
the
pacific
motor
in
and
the
pavilion
in
as
well.
T
T
I
So
thanks
james,
this
slide
focuses
on
the
process
that
staff
has
been
following
in
an
effort
to
identify
additional
sites
for
emergency
interim
housing
communities
at
the
rules
committee
in
september.
The
discussion
and
the
direction
was
to
focus
on
existing
lists
of
potential
sites
to
try
and
manage
the
resources
needed
to
find
usable
sites,
given
the
limited
staff
capacity
for
the
project,
so
the
existing
list
included
about
100
plus
sites,
but
many
on
that
list
were
barely
feasible.
I
Yes
at
best,
mainly
because
of
their
the
size
of
the
site,
but
in
fact
the
best
six
sites
have
already
been
used
for
the
existing
bhc
and
eih
sites
that
have
been
built
so
we're
obviously
having
to
move
down
the
next
tier
of
feasibility
in
terms
of
sites
so
about
30,
plus
sites
focused
mainly
in
the
six
districts.
Without
an
emergency
interim
housing
community
warranted
an
initial
site
visit
this
time
around.
I
Our
goal.
Kind
of
in
this
initial
site
visit
is
to
rule
out
obvious
fatal
flaws
like
too
steep
of
slopes
too
smaller
size,
unusable
configurations
and
the
like
that
would
enable
us
to
quickly
say
not
feasible,
not
worth
any
further
analysis
by
staff
now
we're
moving
through
whether
sites
seem
feasible
through
this
initial
visit.
There's
no
obvious
fatal
flaws
actually
have
enough
viability.
I
Ultimately,
we
aim
to
whittle
that
list
down
to
a
limited
number
of
sites
that
we
can
practically
recommend
to
the
council
as
projects
to
develop
over
the
next
couple
of
years.
Moving
on
to
the
next
slide,
james,
please
so
cite
about.
Evaluation,
comes
down
to
these
characteristics
and
conditions,
including
location,
size,
shape
and
assemblage.
I
Can
it
be
controlled
by
the
city
who
owns
it?
What
will
it
cost
if
the
city
doesn't
own
it?
How
will
the
site
be
accessed
and
the
proximity
of
utilities
is
a
very
critical
issue
in
figuring
out
whether
sites
are
of
good
quality
and
are
really
practical
to
move
forward
into
the
project
development
phase
sites
are
now
required
to
go
through
environmental
review
during
the
pandemic,
environmental
review
was
waived
by
a
governor's
executive
order,
so
that
certainly
did
speed
the
time
frame
of
development
of
emergency
interim
housing
communities.
I
There
are
also
potential
site.
Mitigations
and
regulatory
restrictions
like
riparian
roadway
and
neighborhood
setbacks
that
have
to
be
considered
site
grades
are
a
major
consideration
and
if
they're
of
consequence,
they
either
add
a
lot
of
cost
or
reduce
the
capacity
of
site
such
that
it
becomes
really
not
a
practical
site.
You
really
just
can't
get
enough
units
enough
capacity
on
the
site
to
make
it
worthwhile.
I
So
we'll
continue
the
evaluation
and
comparison
of
the
sites,
we'll
be
finishing
that
in
april
and
may
we'll
also
be
advancing
funding
opportunities
for
the
eih
communities
for
construction
operations,
one
through
the
measure
e
report
back
to
council
on
april
12
and
then
through
the
2223
budget
process,
we'll
also
be
once
we've
kind
of
completed
our
evaluation
or
far
enough
along
on
our
evaluation
of
sites.
We'll
initiate
detailed
coordination
with
the
mayor's
office
and
the
city
council
offices.
I
So
they
can
kind
of
understand
what
we're
looking
at
understand,
kind
of
where
we're
at
in
the
process
get
feedback
from
those
council
members
here.
If
they
may
have
alternatives
that
they
would
like
us
to
consider.
We're
certainly
open
to
alternatives
at
any
point
in
the
process
and
in
fact,
have
received
sites
from
various
offices
that
we
have
evaluated.
But
we'll
be
doing
that.
Coordination.
C
B
B
You
have
a
program
going
for
you
have
to
put
in
like
six
million
dollars
for
18
units.
Did
I
hear
that
correctly?
That
was
a
bit
concerning
if
that
was
correct
and
I
have
been
bringing
up
at
this
time.
Interestingly,
at
the
same
time,
you
know
as
important
as
the
homekeep
program
is.
You
know
it
is
really
how
we're
going
to
talk
about
the
future
of
subsidizing.
B
B
If
we
organize
ourselves
well-
and
I
think
we
can,
I
think
we
are
obviously
promising
good
start
and
good
practices
in
how
to
do
these
things.
I
think
there's
a
real
question
that
we're
just
fearful
to
talk
about
the
subject
of
subsidizing:
more
subsidizing,
lower
income
people
to
finally
found
find
housing
after
all
these
decades.
That's
why
they
can't
find
housing
because
they
don't
have
any
money,
and
we
can
subsidize
this
now.
Good
luck,
how
we
can
better
talk
about
this.
Thank
you.
C
Jim
thanks
for
the
presentation
you
mentioned
that
we're
focusing
you're,
focusing
your
search
on
the
six
council
districts
that
don't
have
any
of
these
projects,
which
is
one
of
mine,
district,
nine.
So
I'm
very
curious
when
you
have
narrowed
that
down
and
when
do
you
think
you'll
be
reaching
out
to
the
council
office
for
their
input,
because,
frankly,
you
should
be
doing
that
right
now,.
I
Yeah,
we
anticipate
in
april
that
we'll
outreach
to
all
those
offices,
at
least
the
six,
and
maybe
the
others,
just
to
kind
of
keep
them
in
the
loop
where,
where
we
want
to
get
to
what
we
find
council
member
and
the
reason
why
we're
kind
of
wanting
to
get
through
this
status
report,
let
you
know
what
process
we're
using
is
many
sites
fall
by
the
wayside?
They
just
there
are
any
number
of
reasons
why
a
site
doesn't
make
it
we're
working
with
the
existing
list
that
have
so
many
challenges.
I
I
Well
enough
that
we
aren't
going
to
be
saying,
we
think
we
have
something
here
and
then
we
get
down
the
road
another
month,
and
we
say
sorry,
we
didn't
get
that
far
on
this
environmental
issue,
this
type
of
riparian
issue,
this
type
of
setback-
and
it's
really
not
a
feasible
project.
We
don't
want
to
create
a
lot
of
of
work
and
effort
on
your
part
or
the
community's
part
for
something
that
isn't
technically
feeble
feasible.
I
So
our
public
works
teams,
I
think,
are
doing
enough
due
diligence
that
we
aren't
seeing
fatal
flaws
that
when
you
look
at
some
of
these
sites,
you
can
say:
okay,
we're
we're
reasonably
serious
and
there's
there's
a
there
could
be
a
project
in
here
because
our
initial
work
we
shed
sights
it
it.
They
are
constantly
falling
off
our
list
because
there
are
legitimate
reasons
why
they
can't
make
it
so
sorry
for
the
long
answer.
But
I
don't
want
to
send
your
offices
through
a
bunch
of
consternation
for
something
that
might
not
be
real.
C
I
appreciate
that
jim,
but
on
the
other
side
I
don't
want
to
find
out
at
the
last
minute
what
pro,
what
property
you've
narrowed
it
down
to
in
my
district,
and
I
would
suspect
anyone
on
any
council
member
on
this
call
wouldn't
want
that
to
happen.
We
may
have
insights
about
the
neighborhood
that
you
may
say.
Okay,
this
is
the
perfect
property,
but
we
have
I,
but
we
know
the
neighbors
and
how
the
neighbors
will
be
concerned
or
supportive
either
either
way.
C
So
I
I
would
suggest,
at
least
for
my
council
office,
is
that
we
engage
early
before
you
narrow
it
down
to
the
one
or
two
site,
you're
saying
you're,
suggesting
because
once
it
gets
out
into
the
public,
then
you're
gonna
get
a
lot
of
concern
from
the
residents
the
neighbors
about
where
these
are
going
to
go,
and
it's
not
that
I'm
not
supportive.
I'm
supportive
of
this.
I
just
want
to
get
an
idea.
C
I
I
remember
four
years
ago
before
I
was
running
when
I
was
running
for
city
council,
the
thousand
oaks
park
area
was
thrown
out
as
one
and
I
know
jackie
probably
still
has
battle
scars
over
it.
The
a
park
in
the
thousand
oaks
community
was
thrown
out
as
where
this
was
going
to
occur
and
the
neighborhood
was
so
concerned
about.
N
C
N
D
C
C
I
I
appreciate
that,
and-
and
the
other
thing
I've
been
thinking
about,
there
are
not
a
lot,
but
with
the
pandemic,
a
lot
of
small
businesses
have
closed
and
moved
out
of
strip
centers
and
some
of
the
strip
center
owners
are
no
longer
generating
the
income
that
they
once
did.
So
that
might
be
a
market
to
buy
property
that
could
be
then
converted
to
housing
and
commercial.
C
I
Nancy,
let
me
jump
in
first
and
then:
okay
I'll
turn
it
over
to
you
yeah.
So
so
the
direction
we
got
from
the
rules
committee
was
to
use
the
existing
list.
So
that's
where
we
went
to
first
okay,
I
suspect,
as
we
as
we
narrow
down
as
we
have
communications
with
council
members
and
council
offices
in
real
estate.
I
You
know
if
we
don't
have
a
robust
enough
list,
that's
where
I
think
we're
going
to
have
to
go,
but
we
know
it's
going
to
increase
costs.
We've
tried
to
deliver
emergency
interim
housing
projects
on
very
cost
constrained
budgets.
It
may
increase
cost,
but
we
we
may
well
have
to
go
there.
That
could
be
the
next
horizon
for
these
types
of
projects
that
we
have
to
consider.
C
I
C
G
A
quick
note
behind
the
scenes
council,
member
and
chair,
we
are
doing
a
lot
to
reach
out
to
developers
or
property
owners,
and
it's
it's
very
tough.
People
want
to
help,
but
are
saying
no,
and
basically
they
have
insurance
problems
that
are
that
are
significant
and
or
they're
worried
about
their
neighbors
on
existing
buildings.
It's
even
tougher.
We've
talked
to
warehouse
folks,
we've
talked
to
office
folks,
and
so
far,
though,
we've
asked
multiple
times
the
concerns,
particularly
as
mentioned
on,
knowing
that
their
insurance
won't
cause
a
major
problem
for
them
hasn't
resulted.
C
I
I
appreciate
that
and
thank
you
for
that,
and
thank
you
for
listening
me
to
me
about
getting
a
heads
up
on
where,
specifically
in
district
9
you're
thinking
of
I
we
we
need
to
manage
expectations
and
outreach
is
what
we
all
do
and
we
need
to
make
sure
we
manage
that
properly.
I
know
I'm
going
to
lose
a
a
council
member
or
two
in
a
couple
of
minutes,
so
why
don't
we
take
the
vote
and
then
move
to
open
forum?
Does
anyone
have
a
motion.
E
C
A
B
All
right,
thanks
for
the
meeting
today,
a
quick
reminder
that,
when
you're
working
on
secret
stuff
at
the
start
of
a
project
and
when
you
want
to
review
it
at
the
end
of
a
project,
say
after
a
year's
time,
it's
important
that
the
sequa
not
only
reviews
the
project,
but
the
environmental
ideas
of
sql
itself
at
that
review
period
a
year
later.
Maybe
that
can
be
helpful
in
in
the
previous
item
as
a
reference.
B
B
I
really
think
openness
and
accountability
and
civil
protections
can
really
offer
an
important
structure
and
guidelines
and
organization
in
your
law
enforcement
questions
at
this
time,
and
it
doesn't,
we
don't
have
to
do
everything
heavy-handedly
in
terms
of
law
enforcement,
but
but
it's
from
openness
and
accountability,
ideas
that
that
is
how
it
can
slowly
develop
interesting
projects
that
I
think,
can
be
more
inclusive
of
a
whole
community
effort
that
are
ideas
of
more
peace
and
not
just
heavy-handed
law
enforcement.
So
good
luck!
B
How
to
work
on
that
and
it
can
help
vision,
zero
things
a
lot
too.
I
think
you
know
with
that
said.
You
know
the
civil
protection
ideas
that
you
know
it's
gaining
important
ground
in
the
future
of
in
the
work
of
ai
stuff
right
now,
so
good
luck,
how
you
can
meld
those
things
and-
and
those
are
the
kind
of
subject
matter
that
can
be
inclusive.
You
know
for
how
team
sounds
they
can
work
and
talk
about
and
build
upon
and
want
to
a
way
to
develop.
B
People
can
come
into
the
city.
I
think
which
is
interesting
and
and
the
thank
you
that
the
term
is
not.
I
want
to
be
nonpartisan
in
talking
about
merrell
mayoral
things
and
to
conclude,
good
luck.
How
we
can
all
talk
about
the
ideas
of
peace
for
all
sides
for
the
future
of
ukraine
hope
we
can
open
about
it.
Thanks.
