D
But
the
second
day
was
in
San
Jose
and
they
heard
an
amazing
selection
of
presentations
on
everything
from
real
estate
opportunities
to
how
to
work
with
venture
capitalists,
and
then
they
toured
the
table
blue
sky
labs.
And
then
we
were
able
to
spend
some
time
at
common
grounds.
One
of
our
new
co-working
places
and
there
will
be
a
video
of
the
whole
event
available.
That'll
be
linked
to
our
newsletter
story
as
well.
D
In
North
San
Jose
again,
the
international
theme
persists:
we're
happy
to
welcome
the
cubase
Center,
which
is
a
project
of
the
haengju
Regional
Government
in
China,
and
offers
life
sciences,
startup
and
accelerator
services,
and
the
the
wet
labs
Parshin
of
that
facility
is
being
managed
by
our
own
bio
cube.
So
we're
really
pleased
about
that.
So
that's
another
addition
to
North
San
Jose.
D
We
are
putting
out
another
one
of
our
development
reports,
which
indicates
a
lot
of
additions,
even
excluding
the
Google
project,
we're
seeing
new
additions
for
plans
for
577
residential
units,
almost
two
billion
square
feet
of
office,
space
and
247
thousand
square
feet
of
commercial
space
to
the
roster
of
projects
in
the
pipeline,
and
we
have
a
full
report
on
that.
In
our
blog
post
we
had
a
presentation
to
two
people
from
San
Jose's
City,
Oh,
Edie
Department
were
part
of
a
Business
Journal
event
on
the
future
of
downtown.
D
D
There
were
protesters,
but
the
whole
situation
was
able
managed
by
the
editor
of
the
Business
Journal
Kim
was
one
of
the
panelists
on
the
future
of
downtown
speaking
with
Mary,
Papazian
and
Alexa
arena
from
Google,
and
then
our
own
blog
azer
Louch
was
on
a
real
estate
panel.
So
it
was
a
really
good
event
and
there
will
be
a
full
video
linked
to
that
blog
post
too.
D
Finally,
we're
spreading
the
word
for
our
our
comrades
and
ESD
on
the
Better
Buildings
challenge,
letting
our
buildings
owners
know
that
this
is
an
opportunity
to
participate
in
a
very
forward-looking
green
program
to
help
bring
their
their
buildings
up
to
the
best
possible
level
of
low
carbon
footprint.
And
then
there's
going
to
be
another
story
which
just
broke
today
and
I
didn't
have
time
to
add
it,
which
is
an
announcement
of
a
very
interesting
shop
that
the
Department
of
Commerce
is
putting
on
to
help.
A
E
Thank
You,
chair
and
committee
members,
Chris
Burton,
with
the
Office
of
Economic
Development
I'm
joined
by
Nathan,
Gennaro
Weinstein
and
des
Woodworth
I'm,
just
gonna
give
you
a
very
brief
intro
these
two
to
walk
you
through
annual
update
on
our
business
development
activities.
Both
are
citywide
business
outreach
program
and
a
small
business
program
which
functions
through
work
to
future.
We
actually
have
with
us
today
I
think
our
entire
business
development
team
is
in
the
audience,
so
hopefully
there's
no
business
emergencies
in
the
city
for
the
next
hour.
E
If
there
is,
we
can
always
run
out,
and
so
we
have.
You
know
a
growing
team
which
is
good,
but
our
work
plan
is
expanded
as
well
to
encompass
a
lot
more
sort
of
diverse
work,
with
the
addition
of
Jared
Ferguson
as
a
housing,
catalysts
and
Emily
lipomas
joined
our
team
as
a
development
facilitator,
as
well
as
our
traditional
business
development
folks
and
our
place-based
folks,
including
blog
8,
on
downtown
and
so
Alvarez,
who
covers
some
of
our
neighborhood
business
district
work.
So
we
cover
a
lot
of
ground.
E
F
Right,
thank
you,
Chris
and
thank
you
to
the
committee.
So
this
is
my
favorite
presentation
of
the
year
I
think
because
it's
where
we
get
to
talk
about
all
of
the
kind
of
fun
stuff,
that's
been
keeping
us
busy
and
kind
of
some
of
our
takeaways
throughout
the
year,
as
well
as
what's
on
the
horizon,
and
so
to
kind
of
kick
us
off
I'm
here
with
DES
Woodworth
and
we're
gonna
do
a
little
bit
of
a
tag
team
here.
F
Most
of
our
comments
are
gonna
focus
around
kind
of
the
fiscal
year
1819,
but
we
also
are
gonna,
highlight
some
more
recent
activities
as
well.
Most
of
my
comments
will
be
around
kind
of
our
medium
and
large-sized
business
community,
while
des
will
focus
on
our
small
business
ecosystem
and
what
a
business
ecosystem
it
is.
You
know
there's
about
53,000
businesses
in
San
Jose,
who
are
collectively
responsible
for
roughly
four
hundred
and
forty
thousand
jobs
and
in
addition
to
providing
employment
for
residents.
F
F
We
touch
a
lot
more
businesses
day
to
day
and
this
year,
what
we
saw
was
a
lot
of
interest
in
San
Jose
from
businesses
across
the
spectrum,
whether
kind
of
they're
interested
in
moving
or
just
exploring
kind
of
the
waters,
especially
as
some
of
our
other
neighboring
cities
sort
of
fill
up.
You
know,
I
think
a
lot
more
companies
are
starting
to
look
at
San
Jose,
a
lot
more.
F
The
logos
on
this
screen
showcase
some
kind
of
exciting
highlights.
These
are
all
briefly
described
in
the
memo,
and
these
represent
companies
that
we
worked
with
extensively
that
either
moved
in
expanded
or
leased
additional
space
in
San
Jose,
mostly
during
18
19
of
these
you
know,
Bloom
Energy,
which
is
located
in
North
San
Jose,
represents
a
really
interesting
way.
These
things
sometimes
go
so
city
staff
started
talking
with
bloom
years
and
years
ago
they
were
based
in
Sunnyvale.
They
make
this
really
interesting
kind
of
energy
device.
F
That's
gained
a
lot
of
popularity
and
kind
of
began
discussions
about
the
technology
about
potentially
moving
to
San
Jose
and
held
numerous
meetings
with
the
company.
The
mayor's
office
has
played
played
a
role
over
the
years
as
well,
and
these
things
take
time
and
thankfully
it
ended
up
bearing
fruit
and
in
early
2019,
bloom
moved
600
employees
into
their
new
building
in
237
at
first
Oh
Edie
also
worked
to
kind
of
help
seal
the
deal
with
Hewlett
Packard
Enterprise,
which
also
moved
in
this
year,
also
to
North
San
Jose.
F
But
what
I
think
is
really
cool
when
I
look
at
these
logos
is
just
the
diversity
that
they
represent,
so
you
have
sort
of
you
know
high-tech
big-name
sort
of
traditional
Silicon
Valley.
You
also
have
you
know
smaller
players
that
are
also
really
critical
to
our
residents,
whether
it's
a
grocery
store
and
then
you
know
some
of
these
really
interesting
new
players
that
are
finding
San
Jose,
like
Roku,
that's
moving
over
from
Los
Gatos
and
now
Dez.
What
have
you
got
for
us
on
small
biz.
G
Medium
and
small
businesses
are
a
medium
and
large
business
support.
That
nathan
was
mentioning.
The
city
also
works
strongly
to
support
small
businesses
with
over
50,000
small
businesses
in
San
Jose
and
a
wide
range
of
industries.
Our
strategy
is
somewhat
different
on
the
small
business
side.
Other
factors
which
influence
the
strategy
are
that
many
small
businesses
are
not
terribly
sophisticated.
They
don't
have
the
staffing
to
maintain
people
who
have
expertise
in
a
particular
area
outside
of
their
own
disciplines,
which
are
directly
related
to
their
small
business.
G
In
addition,
sixty
percent
of
small
businesses
are
minority-owned
and
more
than
half
of
Spanos.
A
small
businesses
are
immigrant
owned,
with
30
percent
of
those
self
reporting
that
they
have
limited
to
English
skills
and
that
all
goes
into
playing
a
role
in
in
our
strategy
and
how
we
go
about
that.
A
big
portion
of
our
strategy
is
the
collaborative
that
we
have
developed
with
business
owners
face
calm,
that's
a
city,
lid
collaborative
which.
G
Sorry
well,
thank
you.
Yes,
I
certainly
can
said
help
okay,
good
enough,
so
they're
about
30,
small
business
assistance
organizations
that
participate
in
the
collaborative
which
offer
free
and
low-cost
services
together.
The
city
and
its
partners
provide
14,000
small
business
related
assistance
transactions
annually.
The
city
also
provides
direct
assistance
when
it
has
specialized
knowledge
or
skills,
for
instance
the
small
business
Ally,
which
is
a
program
which
is
targeted
at
helping
small
businesses
through
the
permitting
process,
also
city
procurement,
which
is
actually
going
to
be
coming
up
later
in
this
session.
G
They'll
talk
to
you
about
the
services
that
are
provided
directly
by
the
city.
Also,
we
provide
targeted
populations
who
have
specialized
needs
that
warrant
additional
attention
with
additional
direct
services,
for
instance,
Veggie
lucien
shown
in
this
photo,
is
working
with
the
city
to
support
low-income
cart.
Food
cart
based
food
vendors.
In
addition,
immigrants,
particularly
those
with
language
barriers,
as
I
mentioned,
also
benefit
from
additional
help.
G
By
necessity,
the
city
small
business
strategy
also
emphasizes
technology,
so
we
have
a
website
that
provides
24/7
support
in
they're,
Spanish
and
Vietnamese,
as
well
as
a
toll-free
line
that
people
can
call
into
for
interpretation.
We
use
events
which
include
a
large-scale
event
that
we
do
annually,
as
well
as
smaller
scale
events
and
workshops
and
partner
events
which
allow
us
to
contact
more
small
businesses
at
a
time.
Instead
of
trying
to
do
individual
transactions,
which,
with
50,000
is,
it
would
be
a
very
large
lift
so
to
speak.
G
The
strategy
also
incorporates
listening
so
that,
like
the
work
that
Nathan
was
describing
earlier,
where
we're
meeting
with
the
medium
and
large
scale
businesses,
we
are
also
trying
to
listen
very
hard
to
what
the
small
businesses
are
facing,
so
that
we
can
make
adjustments
to
city
programs
and
policies.
The
the
approaches
include:
focus
groups,
partners,
collaboration
with
partners,
formal
studies
and
other
methods
to
be
able
to
listen
to
them
and
we'll
get
to
those
lessons
in
a
few
minutes.
G
We
also
wanted
to
talk
with
you
about
the
policy
initiatives
that
result
from
that,
since
we
are
doing
quite
a
bit
of
time
on
that,
not
not
just
on
the
outreach
we're
doing
a
lot
of
work
in
terms
of
policy
development.
One
of
the
first
of
these
is
the
small
business
and
displacement
work
that
we're
engaged
in,
which
is
in
response
to
the
rising
costs
and
development
are
happening
within
some
areas.
This
is
an
important
issue
in
part
in
that
many
small
businesses,
if
they
were
unexpectedly
forced
to
move,
would
fail
and
never
recover.
G
In
that
case,
we
would
both
lose
the
neighborhood
and
cultural
icons
that
they
represent,
but
we
would
also
have
the
loss
of
jobs
that
are
in
disadvantaged
communities,
as
well
as
the
loss
of
income
and
wealth
within
these
large,
the
family-owned
businesses.
With
that
in
mind,
we've
put
together
a
pilot
in
alum
rock,
which
is
one
of
the
areas
that
we're
anticipating,
going
to
be
impacted
by
commercial
development.
G
The
city
has
also
recruited
additional
organizations
which
hadn't
been
present
locally
in
the
past,
such
as
start
small,
think
big,
which
provides
legal
assistance
to
low-income
businesses
and
is
working
to
develop
new
partnerships
such
as
that
with
with
fund
a
nationwide
community
development
corporation
called
liske.
These
partnerships
help
address
the
specialized
needs
and
associated
needs
associated
with
displacement.
F
Ok,
Thank
You
des
so
you
know
throughout
all
of
this
business
outreach
and
policy
work.
We
have
a
few
takeaways
from
kind
of
the
last
18
months
and
what
I
wanted
to
do
in
the
next
couple
minutes
is
just
go
over
a
few
of
those.
In
brief,
this
is
sort
of
like
the
trends
section,
and
one
of
the
things
we
all
know
right
now
is
that
labor
is
really
really
tight.
So
that's
kind
of
one
of
the
big
themes
out.
F
There
is
just
kind
of
finding
available
workers
and
that's
one
reason
why
we're
really
supportive
to
increase
pathways
to
quality
jobs
through
efforts
like
the
Evergreen
Valley
College
Tesla
training
program,
which
is
pictured
but
there's
a
couple.
Other
trends
I
wanted
to
highlight.
One
is:
you
know
recently,
there's
been
a
lot
of
kind
of
high-profile
media
media
coverage,
around
kind
of
Bay
Area
Exodus
companies
moving
elsewhere,
you've
probably
heard
like
Charles
Schwab,
moving
its
headquarters
out
of
San
Francisco
McKesson
doing
the
same
thing
and
something
we're
definitely
following.
So
in
San
Jose.
F
We
have
not
yet
had
a
major
headquarters
move
as
part
of
this
trend,
but
our
conversations
with
executives
does
show
that
many
companies,
you
know,
are
choosing
to
expand
elsewhere,
even
as
they
maintain
a
sizeable
or
staple
president
in
San,
Jose
and
that's
kind
of
in
response
to
you
know
issues
around
cost
of
living
housing
available
workforce
that
we're
also
familiar
with
so
really
important
that
we
all
kind
of
keep
an
eye
on
this
and
think
about
ways.
We
can
continue
to
support
our
businesses
staying
and
growing
in
San
Jose.
F
F
But
these
are
companies
like
light
point
arm,
click,
Diagnostics,
Honda,
R&D,
lightning,
motorcycles,
one-wheel,
Electric,
skateboards,
Lou,
mentum
and
Bloom
Energy,
who
make
everything
from
medical
devices
to
chips
to
power
plants
and
motorcycles,
and
this
is,
we
think,
is
a
good
thing
for
San
Jose.
These
are
companies
engaged
in
bits
and
bytes
and
not
just
bytes,
like
you
tend
to
kind
of
see
further
up
the
peninsula,
where
you
have
more
of
sort
of
a
social
media
concentration.
F
Are
you
know
this
blending
of
different
uses,
so
you
might
have
something
that
kind
of
looks
and
feels
a
little
bit
like
a
aesthetic
salon
that
also
does
sort
of
medicalised
procedures
right
where
you
might
even
have
a
physician's
assistant
on
staff,
and
you
know
what
happens.
Is
the
city
has
to
look
at
those
and
figure
out?
You
know
how
do
we
classify
these?
How
do
they
fit
into
our
zoning
code?
Our
parking
regulations?
F
In
most
cases,
you
know
our
zoning
code
can
handle
this
kind
of
stuff,
but
it's
something
to
keep
an
eye
on,
and
it's
another
example
of
how
our
business
ecosystem,
and
particularly
our
retail
ecosystem,
is
evolving
and
changing.
And
then,
finally,
you
know
companies
right
now
are
really
struggling
when
it
comes
to
getting
into
their
space.
You
know
everyone
is
really
busy
right
now
on
the
private
side,
in
terms
of
contractors
and
subcontractors
and
on
the
city
side-
and
you
know,
Edie,
we've
been
spending
a
lot
of
time.
G
You
know
in
part
based
on
the
what
we're
hearing
from
various
organizations
and
businesses
large
and
small.
We
have
a
variety
of
targeted
support
programs
which
are
intended
to
support
those
particular
areas.
For
instance,
we
have
a
storefronts
grant
program
that
provides
grants
between
ten
to
fifteen
dollars
or
ten
to
fifteen
thousand
dollars
for
small
businesses.
Improving
the
first
floor
uses
last
year.
The
program
provided
grants
for
16
businesses,
including
hapa
musubi,
Red,
Dot,
Fitness,
San,
Jose,
Museum
of
textiles
and
quilts
elements,
restaurant
and
park
station
hatchery.
G
In
addition,
we
also
have
other
programs,
including
this
small
business
allies,
Swan
and
one
who
were
the
in
the
picture
here:
helped
businesses
small
businesses,
in
particular,
with
the
permitting
open
opening
process
using
a
free
model,
a
concierge
model,
so
that
they're
providing
soup
Donets
assistance
to
small
businesses
in
conjunction
with
their
professional
staff,
who
are
being
hired
directly
by
the
small
business,
but
really
focused
on
providing
them
with
the
help
that
they
need
to
get
past
the
hurdles
they
are
involved
with
our
permitting
process.
We
also
continue
to
work
with
our
manufacturing
industry.
G
In
2018,
we
launched
a
non-profit
MFG
s,
J,
which
is
dedicated
to
working
with
our
manufacturing
community
on
workforce
growth
and
outreach
issues
in
2020.
Oh
Eadie
expects
to
take
a
larger
role
in
working
in
this
area
to
make
sure
that
the
manufacturing
companies
that
we
have
here,
particularly
the
larger
ones,
continue
to
have
a
role
here
in
and
a
home
in,
Silicon
Valley
MFG
SJ
is
hosting
its
first
ever
state
of
manufacturing
breakfast.
So
if
you're
available
on
February
6th
in
downtown,
we
encourage
you
to
come
to
that.
F
Awesome
yeah,
so
you
know,
San
Jose
is
a
global
city
and
in
2018-19
our
program,
international
programs
manager,
that's
Jo,
held
meetings
with
sort
of
formal
meetings
with
nearly
40
business
or
governmental
delegations
from
across
the
globe,
and
these
are
really
interesting
to
sit
in
on
which
I've
had
the
pleasure
to
do.
They
focus
on
kind
of
a
lot
of
times.
F
Educating
international
officials
around
you
know
our
region,
our
economy,
even
just
stuff,
like
our
business
culture
and
like
how
business
is
conducted
in
the
United
States,
which
is
very
different
from
other
parts
of
the
world,
sometimes
and
Jose,
had
meetings
recently
from
young
in
South,
Korea,
jaejoong,
China,
Hangzhou
China
and
the
Vietnam
us
association,
just
in
like
the
last
month
or
two.
He
also
administers
the
Foreign
Trade
Zone
for
San
Jose,
which
keeps
local
businesses,
particularly
manufacturers
that
are
bringing
in
and
exporting
a
lot
of
stuff
competitive.
F
In
the
last
18
months,
the
city
has
seen
an
uptick
in
interest
in
this
federal
program
due
to
uncertainties
around
US
trade
relations
with
other
countries.
As
you
can
imagine,
so
you
know
one
of
the
coolest
parts
of
our
job.
Is
this
piece
of
it
proactively
telling
our
city's
story
to
various
stakeholders,
whether
it's
through
the
news,
media
or
events,
forums
or
even
advertising?
F
And
you
know
speaking
about
the
city-
is
a
huge
privilege
and
responsibility
and
we
actually
really
pride
ourselves
in
participating
in
requests,
whether
it's
a
big
business
audience
or
even
just
a
small
neighborhood
association?
And
this
year
there
was
a
burst
of
speaking
requests
on
topics
related
to
downtown
I.
Think
really,
spurred
by
a
lot
of
press
coverage
and
sort
of
perception
of
momentum,
but
we
also
regularly
produce
our
own
workshops
and
events.
Our
biggest
one.
This
year
was
a
workshop.
F
We
hosted
in
February
on
the
federal
opportunity
opportunity,
Zone
incentive
that
drew
more
than
a
hundred
attendees
from
philanthropy
and
the
investment
world.
We
also
assisted
with
several
high-profile
groundbreakings,
often
in
partnership
with
folks
like
the
SVO
and
ribbon-cuttings.
That's
the
Verizon
project
on
the
top
right
and
that's
kind
of
the
dessert
I
think
of
our
job
and
then
on
the
media
front.
You
guys
all
get
a
taste
of
this.
Every
month,
right,
elizabeth
has
produced
more
than
60
blog
posts,
contributing
to
the
12
editions
of
the
SJ
economy
newsletter
and.
F
That
newsletter
goes
out
to
5,000
subscribers
a
month
like
real
subscribers
to
not
just
random
random
folks
that
give
us
bounce
backs.
People
are
actually
trying
to
like
get
into
our
newsletter
now,
which
is
really
really
neat
to
see
and
that's
in
addition
to
assisting
local,
national
or
even
international
news
media,
with
enquiries
related
to
San,
Jose
I
mean
San.
Jose
is
kind
of
all
over
the
place,
and
people
need
to
need
help
accessing
department
leaders
or
just
City
effects
and
information.
F
So
also
I
wanted
to
highlight
that
in
1819
we
launched
the
San
Jose
branded
merged
program,
which
allows
the
public
to
buy
shirts
hoodies
travel
mugs
ball
caps
with
the
new
economic
development
brand
mark
team.
San
Jose
is
our
partner
on
this,
and
you
can
actually
head
over
to
San
Jose
da
org
or
the
UPS
Store
Convention
Center
for
any
of
your
gift
shopping
needs,
and
so
we
want
to
leave
you
with
just
a
couple
kind
of
quick
hits
on
things.
F
G
All
of
these
are
with
alum
rock
access
to
capital
with
the
opportunity
fund,
which
I'll
actually
be
taking
place
tomorrow,
night,
if
you're
available
and
utilizing
a
commercial
broker
with
the
minority,
business
development
agency
and
finally,
financial
and
tax
documentation
which
we'll
be
holding
in
March.
So
we're
trying
to
hold
a
series
of
activities
to
to
foster
the
small
business
side.
All.
F
Right
so,
in
spring
of
last
year,
council
approved
kind
of
a
slate
of
retail
strategies
for
the
city
and,
thanks
to
the
council,
were
prepared
to
soon
hire
a
retail
officer
to
assist
us
in
implementing
those
more
effectively.
You
know
retails
changing
and
we're
fortunate
to
still
have
a
really
strong
retail
market,
but
it's
important
that
we
keep
this
sector
strong
in
San
Jose
in
thriving
I
also
wanted
to
highlight
sort
of
kind
of
what's
on
the
horizon
in
terms
of
projects
you
know.
F
In
the
last
year
the
office
brought
into
the
our
business
unit,
our
first
development
facilitation
officer,
Emilie,
lipoma
and
she's.
Working
to
streamline
and
project
manage
our
largest
projects
that
will
meaningfully
impact
the
city's
economy
and
residents.
These
include
projects
like
the
adobe
tower
and
the
Coleman
Highline
project,
but
also
I
just
wanted
to
highlight
that
picture
is
actually
on
Friday
I
got
to
kind
of
get
inside
the
mall
expansion
and
it's
incredible,
and
there
have
plans
to
start
opening
the
first
of
over
a
hundred
new
stores,
starting
in
March,
which
is
really
exciting.
F
F
Thinking
critically
about
the
future
of
our
industrial
lands
in
San
Jose,
and
this
will
be
a
focus
as
we
look
for
opportunities
to
kind
of
intensify
some
of
these
areas,
particularly
when
they're
near
transit
nodes
in
order
to
fit
more
jobs
into
these
areas,
while
also
preserving
the
viability
of
industrial
buildings
and
uses.
So
you
know
manufacturing
wholesale
trade,
construction,
our
major
employers
in
San
Jose,
and
we
want
to
make
sure
they
continue
to
have
a
home
here,
even
as
we
try
to
make
more
efficient
use
of
our
job
generating
land.
F
H
Thank
you
good
afternoon,
council
members,
the
city
does
great
work
and
we're
really
happy
to
partner
with
the
office
of
economic
Telegraph
always
gives
presentations
to
the
Silicon
Valley
organization,
which
has
1200
members,
half
of
which
are
actually
small
businesses.
Last
year,
the
SVO,
upon
request
by
our
members,
created
a
small
business
issues
committee
that
meets
once
a
month
and
we've
had
lots
of
presentations
from
staff
and,
looking
at
this
item,
which
I
don't
know
if
it
was
combined
with
item
one
and
two,
but
assuming
it
was,
was
that
it
would
be
great
for
one.
H
A
F
Kind
of
the
future
of
their
office.
To
put
it
this
way,
I
think
bloom
is
evaluating
the
future
of
their
manufacturing
operations
in
the
valley,
so
they
do
have
some
manufacturing
operations
that
remain
in
Sunnyvale.
My
understanding
is,
they
have
kind
of
a
longer
timeline
to
figure
out
what
to
do
with
that
than
they
did
with
the
office
component,
which
is
what
they
have
moved
initially,
we
would
love
to
have
blooms
manufacturing
piece
in
San
Jose,
so.
F
E
Really
great
question:
that
is
a
good
question.
Some
limits
to
information
we
can
give
the
specifics
of
tax
revenues
from
individual
companies
and,
given
their
bloom,
is
a
relatively
new
entrant
into
the
city.
We're
still
waiting
to
see
so
there's
a
number
of
different
ways
that
corporations
can
allocate
their
taxes
between
locations
and
so
we'll
get
a
better
sense
of
that.
So
once
we
you.
A
I
B
F
A
A
E
A
Know
so
so
when
word
when
we
were
talking
about,
you
know
companies
that
are
not
expanding
and
San
Jose
and
I.
Actually,
my
sister
works
for
a
very
large
company
and
and
and
she
also
is
not
expanding
into
San
Jose.
One
of
the
things
that
she
was
telling
me
about
is
that
they
think
that
California
is
heading
the
wrong
direction
on
taxation
is
that
is
that
a
is
that
a
is
that
also
a
concern
of
the
companies
that
you
were
talking
to
I.
Think.
F
The
financial
picture
is
complicated
for,
like
all
of
our
companies
and
it's
different
for
everyone,
certainly
tax
taxes
and
kind
of
cost
of
doing
business
factors
in
a
big
way
for
lots
of
companies,
as
it
relates
to
the
competitiveness
of
this
state.
You
know
I
think
there
isn't
there's
just
a
fundamental
need
from
so
many
of
our
business
of
our
companies
that
are
located
here
to
have
a
major
presence
in
California.
F
F
We're
following
the
a
b5
change
closely,
we
haven't
heard
kind
of
feedback
in
a
formal
way
from
our
companies
that
that
would
be
kind
of
affected
to
the
best
of
my
knowledge-
and
you
know,
the
prop
13
issue
is
that
we
get
a
lot
of
questions
about
it,
but
we
don't
really
have
we
haven't
really
analyzed.
You
know
its
potential
impact,
so
we're
not
really
able
to
give
a
whole
lot
of
guidance
on
it
Chris.
What
would
you
that
yeah.
E
There's
been
one
or
two
sort
of
direct
feedbacks
on
a
b5
and
the
implementation
around
some
sort
of
particular
small
businesses
that
have
now
had
to
take
on
those
drivers
as
employees,
and
so
there
it's
an
adjustment
to
any
business.
I
think
I
think
the
conversation
around
prop
13
is
is
difficult
and
it's
one
that
we'll
be
looking
at
in
the
year
ahead.
The
impact
of
a
potential
split
role
will
have
significant
impacts
on
businesses
in
San,
Jose,
I.
Think.
A
E
This
is
yeah
the
thing
that
we're
really
looking
at
so
from
a
large
business
perspective.
The
the
major
sort
of
commercial
footprints
tend
to
turn
over,
at
least
on
a
5
to
10
year
basis,
but
there's
a
lot
of
small
businesses,
especially
where
it's
owner
occupier,
where
they've
been
holding
on
to
that
space
for
a
significant
portion
of
time,
and
that
is
a
significant
tax
bill
that
will
arrive
as
a
part
of
that
so
I
think,
as
we
continue
to
explore
issues
around
a
small
business
displacement
and
you
know
small
business
resilience.
A
A
You
can
put
that
on
your
radar
and
be
well
I,
don't
know
what
you
do
to
help,
but
but
at
least
put
it
on
your
radar
things
to
be
looking
at
of
concern
and
as
far
as
elements
you
know,
I
know
that
they
didn't
have
a
grand
opening
it's
in
my
district
and
it
it
seemed
that
it
was
taking
ungodly
amounts
of
time
to
happen.
Is
it
is
everything,
okay
with
them,
what
what
I
think
they're
open,
but
what
took
them
so
long.
You.
F
I
I
Eighty
five
slightly
affects
us
prop.
13
affects
us,
but
not
because
we
own
not
because
small
businesses
owned
the
real
estate
that
they
in,
but
because,
if
split
rolls
occurs
and
people
don't
understand
this,
they
think,
if
you're
a
renter
that
you're
not
going
to
be
affected
by
split
rolls.
Here's
how
you
will
be
affected
when
your
landlord,
the
owner
of
that
building,
gets
their
split
roll
taxes,
increased.
Guess
who
they're
gonna
pass
that
on
to
they're
gonna,
pass
it
on
to
the
business
who
occupies
the
space.
I
You
may
have
a
lease
that
currently
allows
you
to
not
you
the
way
you're
not
paying
into
the
property
taxes,
but
when
you
renegotiate
there
absolutely
going
to
the
consider
that
so
that's
gonna
affect
small
businesses
in
there.
Some
who
have
very
small
margins
from
being
able
to
employ
the
six
people
that
we
employ
and
pay
them
the
full
benefits
that
we
pay
them,
because
it
will
affect
us
I'm,
not
speaking
for
or
against
split
rolls
right
now.
Don't
get
me
wrong.
I
Something
in
the
packet
that
we
got
emailed
to
us
was
really
of
interest
to
me
because
small
business
owners,
they
can't
necessarily
pay
the
top
dollar
for
their
staff,
so
they
have
to
try
attract
small
business.
They
have
to
subtract
people
some
ways
and
we're
having
a
hard
time.
We
have
a
position,
we're
expanding
our
business,
we're
hiring
one
more
person
we're
having
a
really
hard
time.
Finding
someone
qualified
I
read
in
your
packet
that
you
assist
somehow
and
finding
staffing,
tell
me
how
that
works.
Yeah.
G
G
So
that's
just
one
of
the
ways
that
we're
trying
to
help
support
both
small
businesses,
as
well
as
the
local
workforce,
which
may
or
may
not
have
the
skill
set,
particularly
as
we
have
a
lot
of
people
who
are
having
to
make
transitions
from
positions
that
they
had
held
to
new
positions.
As
say,
for
instance,
the
retail
industry
continues
to
be
in
flux
or
and
evolve.
So.
I
I
D
J
I
Not
we're
not
the
number
one
places
where
people
are
looking,
but
we
want,
you
know
just
as
qualified
as
employees
and
we
want
people
are
going
to
stay
around,
and
this
is
a
company.
My
personal
company
who
just
lost
two
people
have
been
with
me
for
over
25
years.
So
it's
it's
tough
to
make
these
kind
of
replacements
with
a
new
workforce.
So.
G
G
We've
had
to
provide
you
some
additional
stuff,
so
you
can
distribute
in
your
work
the
other.
The
other
thing
that
you
had
mentioned
was
the
concern
about
small
business,
resiliency
yeah
and
that's
an
area
that
we
are
very
concerned
about
as
well,
because,
as
you
say,
the
expertise
that
you
have
is
in
the
real
estate
market,
but
that
doesn't
necessarily
carry
over
into
their
areas.
G
And
so
one
of
the
things
that
we're
trying
to
do
is
provide
small
businesses
with
the
tools
that
they
need
to
be
able
to
weather
things
if
they
don't
anticipate
it,
because
it's
not
within
their
set
of
skills.
That's
a
real
problem
because
they
can
lose
their
lease
or,
if
they're,
in
a
triple
in
that
situation,
and
the
taxes
go
up
that
affects
them
directly,
even
though
they
thought
oh,
hey,
I'm,
all
set,
that's
a
you
know
could
be
a
concern
for
them.
G
I
If
you
want
to
pick
a
small
business
owners,
brain
I'm
happy
to
sit
down
my
great
thank
you
very
generous
I,
really
appreciate
the
report
and
again
not
to
say
our
large
businesses
are
not
important,
they're
very
critical,
but
most
of
the
people.
I
know
work
for
small
businesses
and
big,
and
they
do
so
because
they
can
control
their
own
destiny.
K
Thank
you
and
thank
you
Pam
as
well.
I
appreciate
having
a
diversity
of
perspectives
on
the
council,
and
so
it's
nice
to
have
individuals.
You
know
that
they
can
share
those
as
well
for
those
of
us
that
aren't
small
business
owners
that
are
able
to
you
know
to
kind
of
benefit
from
the
from
the
dialog.
So
I
do
appreciate
that
I
had
a
couple
make
comments.
Maybe
really.
K
This
was
in
regards
to
the
the
section
of
company
struggling
with
city
permitting
timeliness,
and
so
my
office
has
had
through
the
years
a
number
of
small
businesses
reach
out
to
us
and
I
know
that
the
majority
of
them
don't
reach
out
to
us.
But
we've
had
a
number
of
them
that
have
the
most
recent,
which
happened
to
make
it
into.
K
The
report,
was
the
half
the
musubi
and,
and
that
was
their
frustration
as
they
reached
out
to
my
office,
was
in
regards
to
the
permitting,
and
in
fact
they
really
appreciated,
I
think
they
were
working
with
one
and
they
really
appreciated
the
small
business
Ally
program.
They
felt
a
lot
of
support
in
that
regard
where
they
ran
into
issues
was-
and
we've
heard
this
before
having
multiple
inspectors
with
their
own
individual
perspectives
on
what
you
know
was
permitted
or
permissible
or
not,
and
and
that
caused
a
lot
of
delay.
K
Obviously
headache
and
even
sort
of
been
undoing,
redoing
of
things
that
just
because
of
having
again
different
inspectors
coming
out
with
different
perspectives
and-
and
so
we
ended
up
able
to
jump
in
and
get
involved
and
with
the
support
of
John
we're
able
to
sort
of
iron
this
out,
but
in
in
right
and
our
thinking
was
well,
it
shouldn't
take
in
that
right
in
and
how
do
we
write?
We
already
have
issues,
we
know
wit
timeliness
in
this
regard
because
of
just
staffing
in
general
or
a
lack
of
staffing.
K
But
then,
if
we
have
conflicting
staff
interpretations
and
and
and
a
multitude
of
staff
members
going
out
on
something,
I
can
understand
right
from
a
small
business
perspective,
why
that
would
just
be
extremely
frustrating
because
you're
gonna,
you
want
to
take
four.
You
know
at
face
value.
What
a
city
staff
member
is
saying,
especially
an
inspector
and
and
move
forward,
and
make
changes
or
whatever's
you
need
to
do,
but
if
you're
getting
conflicting
viewpoints
on
different
inspections
and
they're,
not
there
at
the
same
time
and
you're
it
you
sort
of
are
stuck
with
going
well.
K
I
had
to
listen
to
what
the
last
one
said
and
do
that
and
now
I
have
to
listen
to
what
the
next
one
says,
because
I'm,
how
well
do
I
you
know,
cure
that,
and
so,
like
I
said
it
sometimes
they'll
reach.
That's
my
office,
unfortunately,
where
we
worry
about
a
help,
but
it
shouldn't
take
that
right
and
we
shouldn't
have
that
level
of
frustration
and
for
a
small
business
like
that
that
right
paying
one
month
of
rent
without
being
able
to
open
right.
K
It's
it's
a
huge
impact,
and
so-
and
we
already
know
this
but
I-
just
think
that
that's
something
that
I
would
hope
that
we
can
begin
to
determine
how
we
might
be
able
to
cure
that
right
and
whether
it's
one
solid
inspector
or
at
least
some.
You
know
level
of
agreement
or
a
way
to
communicate
between
the
different
inspectors
so
that
we
were
on
the
same
playing
field.
I
wanted
to
mention
just
I'm
excited
about
the
cloud
kitchens
here
downtown
and
the
old
Hanko
cause
I.
K
Think
that,
and
as
was
mentioning
there,
the
section
that
was
under
the
creativity
we
needed.
You
know
to
bring
in
with
some
of
these
new
uses,
and
so
I
appreciate
that
and
and
thank
the
team
for
their
work
on
that.
I
just
wanted
to
remind
as
well
on
the
the
business
impact
fund
that
through
VTA
as
we've
asked.
This
was
in
small
Basanta
displacement.
K
On
the
lamps,
the
outplacement
I
know
that
we
talked
a
little
bit
about
sort
of
what
we're
seeing
some
trends.
I'm
curious.
If
we
are
also
looking
at
those
trends
in
regards
to
and
I
imagine
we
are,
but
in
regards
to
symptoms,
for
a
recession
or
for
the
next
recession
right.
Are
we
also
we
looking
at
that
to
see
what
we
can
do
to
prevent
it?
What
are
we
also
looking
at
it?
K
Well,
it's
not
just
because
of
cost
of
housing
or
some
of
the
other
factors
right
that
we
that
we
know
are
more
common,
but
is
it
also
because
it's
is
this
an
indication
right
of
the
recession
coming,
and
we
are
all
sort
of
been
talking
about
that,
although
unfortunately
talked
about
for
like
five
years,
so
it
hasn't
come
around
the
corner,
but
is
that
also
something
that
we
are
we're
looking
at
it
for
that
trend
as
well?
We.
F
Are
so
we
when
there's
a
mass
layoff
event
in
the
city,
the
city
and
the
mayor's
office
are
notified
through
the
Warren
Act
and
we
that's
for
any
layoffs
that
affects
50
or
more
people
or
a
facilities
closure,
and
when
we
get
those
we
and
a
lot
of
times
in
coordination
with
the
mayor's
office.
Try
to
do
like
an
exit
interview
to
understand
why
there's
a
layoff
event
or
a
facilities
closure.
You
can
improbable
ah'd
of
times.
F
E
Anything
count
them
up
to
your
point.
We
sort
of
tried
to
keep
an
eye
on
where
those
industries
are
and
sort
of
strategically
think
through
where
those
layoffs
are
because
I
think.
As
we
look
forward
to
the
you
know
likely
recession
at
some
point,
you
know
we'll
keep
planning
for
it.
You
know
what
we're
seeing
or
what
we
believe
will
happen
is
that
the
impact
of
that
recession
will
not
be
distributed
evenly
right.
Those
in
lower
skill,
lower-income
jobs
are
probably
going
to
suffer
more
given
the
costs
around
this
region.
E
So
we're
sort
of
very
cognizant
of
that
and
looking
at
those
industries
where
there
are
opportunities,
for
you,
know
good
career
pathways
and
middle
income
jobs
to
ensure
that
we're
not
losing
ground
in
the
mid
term,
which
is
why
you
always
hear
us
talk
about
our
manufacturing
and
some
of
those
other
key
industries
that
provide
those
opportunities,
because
without
those
we'll
see
some,
you
know
significant
impacts
on
local
populace.
Great.
K
Indian
regards
to
that
manufacturing
was
excited
to
tour
myself
and
guess:
I
won't
call
manufacturer,
I'm
call
it
just
stealing,
but
the
10th
Street
distillery
I
encourage
my
colleagues
to
just
take
a
nice
business.
Tour
of
it
and
I
do
have
a
nice
sealed
bottle
in
my
in
my
office
that
anybody
can
come
look
at
I'm,
not
offering
tasting
samples
yet,
but
but
it
is,
it
was
exciting
right
to
see
that
and
and
other
manufacturing
right
continuing
to
do
well
in
San
Jose.
K
So
I
appreciate
that
and
the
work
that
we
put
in
regard
to
that
I
didn't
see.
I
was
I
was
wondering
what
other
businesses
had
benefited
and
and
so
on.
The
storefronts
grants
I'm
looking
here
and
I,
didn't
see
too
many
right
and
I
noticed
that
we've
we've
done
nine
grants
a
hundred
thousand
with
the
250,
and
then
it
looks
like
we'll
get
up
to.
Maybe
another
hundred
thousand
with
the
grants
are
working
on.
So
does
that
mean
that
we
won't
hit
the
two
hundred
and
fifty
thousand
that's
allocated
or
low.
F
L
K
L
L
K
You
could
and
I
my
colleagues
or
maybe
you
can
copy
us
I'm,
just
interested
because
we
didn't
see
to
me
absolutely
thank
you.
Thank
you.
It's
always
nice
to
see
which
businesses
were
able
to
benefit
from
this
program,
something
that
I
have
been
excited
to
support
year
over
year
and
I
know
that
my
colleagues,
through
the
budget
process
right,
have
had
an
interest
as
well
with
the
business
growth
and
opportunities
throughout.
K
Last
thing
on
the
last
page
you
have
in
the
year
ahead
just
the
priorities:
I,
don't
know
if
it
falls
under
retail
support,
but
I
didn't
see
the
small
business
Ally
I
just
was
kind
of
curious.
If
that
is
as
a
priority
and
does
that
fit
under
this
retail
support,
or
is
it
something
else
I
just
curious
based
on
the
list
here?
I
didn't
see
it
yeah.
E
E
J
Thank
you.
Thank
you
for
a
great
report
actually
wanted
to
when
I
was
looking
through
the
report
on
page
three,
it
was
talking
about
small
businesses
in
the
city.
They
can't
all
stay.
Some
of
it
had
to
relate
to
space
options.
I
wanted
to
raise
the
issue
of
quality
of
life,
issues
that
impact
businesses
in
San
Jose.
So
as
one
of
the
city's
industrial
areas,
I
have
a
number
of
businesses
that
are
threatening
to
leave
San
Jose
because
of
quality
of
life
issues.
J
I
have
a
50
million
dollar
business
a
year
business
that
we're
working
really
hard
to
keep
another
70
million
dollar
a
year
business
that
I'm
working
really
hard
to
keep.
They
want
to
stay
here.
It's
just
those
quality
of
life
issues,
they're
worried
about
cleanliness,
the
safety
of
their
employees
and
and
their
ability
really
to
the
image
that
they're
projecting
when
they're
trying
to
have
business
meetings
with
other
folks,
and
so
one
I
wanted
to
make
a
comment
and
two
I
wanted
to
bring
up.
J
F
To
be
I
mean
it's
a
kind
of
a
neverending
struggle
in
some
of
these
areas,
and
so
part
of
it
also
is
education
as
well
kind
of
helping
companies
understand
what
are
the
resources
available
and
kind
of
if
there's
a
way,
why?
Why
that's
a
way
which
is
really
really
hard
but
I,
think
you
know,
we've
we've
done
a
lot
to
try
to
help
companies
understand
where,
where
the
city
is
at,
but
it's
a
constant
education
process
and.
J
C
Yeah
I
mean
yes,
I,
think
you've,
you've
seen
the
city
manager's
office
and
an
OE
D
is
part
of
the
city.
Manager's
office
play
a
much
stronger
role
in
coordinating
and
aligning
the
various
departments,
because
it's
really
a
shared
responsibility.
So
we're
often
in
a
position
to
connect
the
dots
about
why
this
is
so
important
and
what
we
should
be
doing
and
then
having
good
communication
with
the
business
community
and
the
property
owners,
because
it's
important
that
they,
as
you
know,
have
confidence
in
the
city
that
we're
hearing
and
then
we're
acting
on
the
information.
C
J
Yeah
and
we're
working
so
hard
to
bring
businesses
to
San
Jose,
it
seems
like
a
low-hanging.
Fruit
would
be
to
keep
the
ones
we
have
right.
So
I
just
wanted
to
raise
that
that
issue
and
that
we
need
more
increased
coordination
and
also
again
on
I'll,
just
add
one
more
thing
which
is
looking
at
some
of
the
types
of
businesses
so
I'm
thinking
of
a
business
in
my
in
my
district,
not
on
the
Monterey
corridor,
but
in
another
industrial
section
of
my
district.
J
They
are
their
business,
actually
brought
a
lot
of
blight
and
issues
in
the
community.
They
left
and
things
were
kind
of
calm
and
the
other
businesses
in
the
area
were
kind
of
good,
and
then
we
got
another
one
of
the
same
type
of
businesses
and
it's
kind
of
ironic
I've
actually
been
contacted
by
the
owners
of
that
business.
J
Who
you
know
because
we're
trying
to
work
on
some
of
the
issues,
the
blight
that
they're
bringing
in
so
it's
so
you
know,
maybe
we
can
look
at
bringing
in
additional
newer
types
of
businesses
and
not
just
doing
like
cookie
cutter
or
like
that
was
what
was
there?
Maybe
we
have
a
chance
to
bring
in
2.0,
so
I
just
wanted
to
bring
that
up.
I
had
a
question
on
the
page
for
the
investor
and
developer
outreach
I
wanted
to
ask
this
is
about
the
investment
in
development
sites.
F
So
this
past
year
there
was
a
real
burst
of
interest
in
in
kind
of
investing
in
San
Jose,
we
saw
from
hotel
developers
industrial
developers
office
developers
who
you
know,
are
kind
of
taking
a
look
at
San
Jose
in
a
fresh
way.
They
were
across
the
spectrum
and
so
in
terms
of
hotels,
hospitality,
there's
been
such
an
appetite
for
new
hotels.
F
We
had
folks
looking,
you
know
everywhere,
not
just
downtown
in
North
San
Jose,
but
you
know
on
the
west
side,
you
know
the
new
hotel
project
on
Monterey
Road
right,
the
expansion,
so
that
was
I
was
kind
of
surprised
at
that.
You
know
that
it
was
kind
of
across
the
board
on
the
industrial
front
kind
of
warehouse
distribution
manufacturing.
The
trend
has
been
developers
and
investors
looking
to
kind
of
get
as
close
to
the
population
as
possible,
which
was
new.
F
Traditionally,
those
folks
have
been
kind
of
focused
on
the
city's
outskirts
and
then,
in
terms
of
where
we
saw
geographical
focus,
people
were
very
interested
in
downtown
in
kind
of
central
San,
Jose
kind
of
the
the
dam.
What
I
would
call
downtown's
sort
of
sphere
of
influence,
and
you
know
in
terms
of
where
we're
pitching
I
mean
we,
we
pitched
the
entire
city
and
kind
of,
especially
when
we're
looking
at
a
specific
type
of
investor.
You
know
we're
we're.
J
You
and
on
the
storefronts
Grants
Program
I
had
similar
questions
about
that.
When
you
send
us
the
information,
can
you
also
tell
us
what
type
of
business
it
is
and
where
it
is
in
the
city
I'm
interested?
In
kind
of
that,
you
know
where
all
this
is
happening
and
is
there
one
type
of
business?
That's
more
attracted
to
getting
this
program
than
others,
because
I
actually
think
this
is
a
program
that
should
grow.
If
anything,
it's
not
big
enough.
So
thank
you.
D
J
B
A
J
A
K
A
J
N
David,
so
just
to
give
a
little
bit
of
recap
of
what
finance
purchasing
is
responsible
for.
We
are
responsible
for
the
procurement
and
contracting
of
equipment,
goods
and
non
consulting
services
for
the
city.
So
some
examples
include
fire
trucks.
You
know:
maintenance,
repair
services,
landscaping,
fuel
software
items,
IT
systems
and
things
of
that
nature.
N
Last
year,
in
fiscal
year
1819
we
spent
approximately
259
million
dollars
on
these
types
of
goods
and
services
where
a
local
business
award
is
estimated
to
be
about
33%
of
total
spent
and
small
business
award
estimated
to
be
about
7%
of
total
spend.
In
addition,
about,
14
million
dollars
was
spent
using
cities.
Procurement
cards
also
known
as
P
cards.
P
cards
are
designed
to
facilitate
small
dollar
purchase
transactions,
and
we
estimate
about
28%
of
total
P
card
transactions.
Last
year
was
awarded
to
local
businesses.
N
If
you
look
at
the
bottom
half
of
the
slide,
we
have
listed
a
total
of
six
local,
small
and
minority
business,
outreach
events
that
finance
staff
had
attended
in
2019.
So
at
these
events,
staff
provided
vendors
information
and
answered
your
questions
on
how
they
can
do
business
with
the
city.
We
updated
our
doing
business
with
the
city
vendor
guide,
to
reflect
bydd
resources
and
instructure
instructions
for
registering
on
Ernie
new
procurement
portal,
which
was
launched
in
2019.
N
This
slide
here
shows
a
trend
in
purchase
order
and
contracts
penned
by
overall
dollars
and
by
local
and
small
business
spend.
As
you
can
see.
In
the
last
fiscal
year,
1819
overall
spend
at
259
million
dollars
increased
over
58
million
dollars
over
prior
year,
based
on
current
methodology
and
available
data.
We
estimate
local
spend
in
FY
1819
comprised
about
86
million
dollars
and
of
the
local
business
spend
about
half
or
18
million
dollars
was
that
was
with
local.
N
What
was
with
the
small
businesses,
excuse
me
and
in
this
slide
here
shows
the
trend
in
purchase,
order
and
contract
spend
by
count
and
the
number
of
purchase,
orders
and
agreements
increased
by
five
percent
over
prior
year
in
fiscal
1819,
and
similarly,
we've
seen
trends,
updated,
updated
trends
and
estimated
local
and
small
business.
A
word.
M
Okay,
so
on
to
public
works
procurements,
so
Public
Works
is
responsible
for
procuring
construction
contractors
and
we
also
oversee
the
procurements
for
design
and
engineering
consultant
services
as
well
before
I
get
into
this
you're
gonna
hear
me
use
a
few
terms.
You're
gonna
hear
me,
use
major
construction
contract
minor
construction
contract
as
it
pertains
to
this
report.
A
minor
construction
contract
is
construction
contracts
that
are
under
$100,000.
There
were
some
charter
code
changes
and
municipal
code
updates
last
year
that
increased
to
$600,000.
However,
for
this
reporting
cycle
it
is
at
that
hundred
thousand
dollar
threshold.
M
So
in
total
we
awarded
191
million
dollars
in
construction
contracts,
of
which
27
percent
of
those
total
dollars
awarded
were
to
local
businesses
and
6
percent
were
to
small
businesses.
You
will
see
that
as
I
get
into
the
number
of
contracts
awarded
we
DC.
We
did
see
it
crease
in
that
number,
which
I'll
talk
about
in
here
in
just
a
second
but
overall
for
the
the
percentage
of
dollars
awarded.
We
remain
fairly
consistent
from
a
five-year
period
for
our
consultant
contract
awards.
We
awarded
thirty
five
million
dollars
in
consultant
contracts.
M
Local
business
receives
sixty
percent
of
those
dollars,
while
small
businesses
received
forty
six
percent,
and
that
was
a
significant
increase
from
the
five
past
five
fiscal
years.
Excuse
me,
so
the
chart
here
reflects
the
construction
contracts
Awards,
which
I
just
mentioned
a
second
ago,
so
we
awarded
fifty
seven
total
construction
contracts
last
fiscal
year.
Twenty
three
percent
of
those
contracts
were
awarded
to
local
businesses
and
nine
percent
we're
awarded
to
small
businesses.
You
can
see
as
I
mentioned,
that
is
a
decrease
from
the
the
past
five
fiscal
years.
M
However,
we
feel
with
the
program
that
we
have
in
place,
which
I'll
discuss
here
in
just
a
second
that
can
really
help
increase
those
numbers
back
up
for
our
consultant
contracts.
Awards,
we
a
more
two
twenty
six
contracts
of
which
69
percent
were
awarded
to
local
and
forty
two
percent.
One
percent
were
awarded
to
small,
which
again
was
a
significant
increase
from
the
the
past
fiscal
year.
We
feel
that
our
consultant
consultant
contracts
are
very
healthy,
with
our
local
small
business
participation.
A
lot
of
that
is
due
to
we
have.
M
M
So,
as
I
mentioned,
our
construction
contracts
did
decrease
last
year
and
we
feel
that
our
contracting
Public
Works
contracting
program
is
a
great
opportunity
for
us
to
increase
that
participation.
Our
Public
Works
contracting
program
is
made
up
of
a
few
different
areas.
One
is
the
the
Public
Works
contracting
Academy
I
know.
M
Council
has
heard
a
lot
about
the
Academy
and
we
continue
to
run
that
way
and
we
do
have
what
that
Academy
is
made
up
by
opportunity.
Awareness
events,
which
are
events
we
get
out
in
the
community,
centers
invite
contractors
and
consultants
to
those
events
and
talk
about
the
upcoming
contracting
opportunities
that
the
city
has
as
well
as
how
to
how
to
find
out
about
those
opportunities
utilizing
our
eprocurement
platform.
M
It
also
gives
them
an
opportunity
to
get
face
to
face
with
city
staff
and
in
our
engineers
and
our
individuals
leading
those
groups
of
engineers
to
as
well.
We
also
host
construction
contracting
seminars,
so
these
seminars
are
are
built
to
educate
contractors
on
how
to
manage
a
public
works
contract
from
bidding
all
the
way
through
project
completion
and
that
feeds
into
our
minor
pre-qualification
program,
which
I'll
talk
about
here
in
just
a
second.
M
We
also
as
a
part
of
the
contract
Academy
have
continuing
education
workshops,
so
these
are
our
really
focus
workshops
from
our
seminars.
We,
we
survey
all
of
the
participants
of
the
lake
at
the
contracting
seminars
and
we
really
focus
on
on
something
that
they
want
to
focus
on,
so
we
listen
to
them
and
if
they
want
additional
information,
we
will
follow
that
up
with
an
educational
workshop,
specifically
designed
for
that.
M
Another
program
that
we
implemented
was
a
minor
public
works
project,
pre-qualification
program.
What
this
is,
is
we
establish
pools
of
contractors
that
we
then
will
solicit
minor
contracts
to
which
really
makes
them
more
competitive
for
our
money,
our
minor
contracting
minor
contracts
are
the
way
we
bid.
Those
out
is
an
informal
process,
and
so
we
don't
have
to
put
it
on
our
eprocurement
platform.
We
actually
can
convince
pacifically
to
the
pool
of
contractors
and
we
feel
the
more
local
and
small
contractors
we
can
get
involved
in
that
pre-qualification
program.
The
more
opportunities
it
will
have.
M
It
will
give
them
to
win
a
bid
and
be
awarded
Public
Works
contracts.
We
currently
have
five
established
pools
for
our
public
or
pre-qualification
pools
and
within
those
pools
we
have
roughly
approximately
twenty
six
contractors
who
have
been
pre-qualified
for
various
scopes
of
work
and
of
those
26.
We
have
59%
of
them,
who
are
local
and
30.
37
percent
of
those
are
also
small.
M
Local
and
small
business
preference
on
minor
construction
contracts
was
one
of
the
municipal
code
changes
so
on
our
minor
contracts.
We
now
give
a
two
and
a
half
percent
credit
if
they
are
local
and
two
and
a
half
percent
credit.
If
they
are
small,
so
they
could
potentially
get
up
to
a
five
percent
credit
when
we
evaluate
their
bids
just
for
math
purposes.
M
M
All
right,
so
we
just
wanted
to
share
with
you
guys
a
few
projects
that
were
completed
by
local
small
contractors.
So
we
did
have
plant
instrument
error
system
upgrade
at
our
regional
wastewater
facility
that
was
completed
by
a
local
and
small
contractor,
Anderson
Pacific,
which
which
is
really
good
to
see
at
our
regional
wastewater
facility,
because
typically,
those
are
larger
projects
and
we
don't
see
a
lot
of
small
local
participation
on
those.
M
So
it
was
a
great
project
for
them
to
work
on
gum,
drop
and
Partridge
Drive
main
replacement
was
completed
by
a
local
contractor,
Pacific
underground
and
then
Happy,
Hollow
Zoo
and
pro
perimeter.
Fencing
was
completed
by
a
local
contractor,
as
well
as
the
airport
terminal
B
South
ramp
reconstruction
phase
one
project.
So
that
concludes
our
presentation.
We
will
open
it
up
for
questions
all.
I
Clarifying
questions
when
you
refer
to
and
thank
you
for
your
report,
I,
really
appreciate
your
focus
on
local
and
small
businesses.
It's
important
to
hear
how
we're
getting
we're
able
to
put
them
to
work,
doing
work
in
our
city
minor.
You
mentioned
pipe
minor,
Public
Works
what
qualifies
an
a
minor
category,
what
dollar
I'm
sure
that's
dollar
amount
driven.
What
is
that
that
is
dollar.
I
M
I
M
I
M
I
J
B
H
Thank
You
Mason
Fong,
director
of
public
policy
communications
at
the
SVO
first
of
all,
great
presentation
by
staff.
They
also
present
it
to
the
vice
mayor,
Jones,
small
business
advisory
task
force
on
three
points
with
the
attachment
that
I
think
the
chair
has
or
if
he's
circulating,
there's
two
documents.
The
first
document
I
just
pulled
up
a
random
vid
from
last
year's
agenda,
and
when
this
is
presented
to
the
public,
the
contract
and
bid
comparative
analysis
is
not
included.
I
have
heard
that
staff
has
that
online
at
the
dingoo.
H
So
that's
great
so
that
public
works
contractors
who
don't
get
the
bid
can
see
why
they
didn't
get
the
bid,
but
it'd
be
great.
If
that
was
publicized
and
on
the
second
document,
you'll
see
is
my
own
son,
evil,
City
Council
agenda,
where
we
have
the
public
bids,
comparisons
for
every
bid,
and
so
it
just
allows
both
Council
and
members
of
the
public
to
see.
This
is
why
their
bid
is
higher.
Their
pipe
valve
number
two
is
quoted
at
X
rate
versus
Y
rate
that
was
actually
awarded,
and
so
why?
H
Oh,
this
helps
is
that
staff
pointed
out.
It's
very
difficult
to
pinpoint
why
a
lowest
bid
does
not
go
food
through
for
a
small
bid,
but
staff
might
be
able
to
study
its
a
council
priority
or
anything
like
that.
Why
that
is
and
how
we
can
better
do
outreach
through
the
public
Force
Academy
through
the
minor
bid,
pre-qualification
process
and
things
like
that.
So,
for
example,
if
I'm
a
small
business
that
wasn't
a
word
of
the
contract,
then
I
can
say:
oh
is
it
because
that
person
has
a
subcontractor,
that's
at
a
different
rate.
H
That's
lower
I
should
go
talk
to
that
subcontractor,
so
that
allows
small
businesses,
the
authority
and
the
ability
to
learn
the
process.
More
and
and
I
only
have
18
seconds,
but
I'm
happy
to
discuss
this
in
more
depth,
and
so
the
last
point
is
that
best
value
contracting
still
hasn't
been
implemented.
It
was
passed
in
2018
by
the
voters,
and
so
the
city
is
still
operating
on
lowest
bid,
and
so
my
question
would
just
be.
Why
is
that?
Thank
you.
Thank.
A
H
K
I
was
actually
just
gonna
mention
with
it
on
this
slide.
I
think
it's.
You
know
it's
unfortunate
that
we've
dipped
so
low,
but
it's
fortunate
that
we,
you
know
I,
hopefully
have
a
policy.
That's
gonna
help
change
this
trajectory
as
you
state
in
your
report.
So
looking
forward
to
that-
and
the
motion
was
made
thanks.
Thank.
