Before
we
get
started,
why
don't
I
read
this
announcement
and
then
we
can
hopefully
have
quorum
established
by
the
time
I'm
finished
so
I'll
read
slowly.
Thank
you,
council,
member
mayhem.
For
being
here.
I
know
council,
member
esparza
is
out
sick
today,
so
we
need
one
other
person
to
establish
quorum,
which
means
we
can
do
some
work
once
a
quorum
established.
Otherwise
we
can
just
listen
to
reports
and
that's
about
it.
I
I
believe
so,
but
let
me
get
started
with
this
statement
first,
and
this
is
our
code
of
conduct
statement.
B
I
want
to
remind
the
committee
and
members
of
the
public
to
follow
the
code
of
conduct
at
this
meeting.
This
includes
commenting
on
the
specific
item
only
and
addressing
the
full
body.
Public
speakers
will
not
engage
in
a
conversation
with
the
council
members
board
members,
commissioners
or
staff.
B
All
members
of
the
committee
staff
and
the
public
are
expected
to
respect
refrain
from
abusive
language,
repeated
failure
to
comply
with
the
code
of
conduct,
conduct
which
will
disturb,
disrupt
or
impede
the
orderly
conduct
of
this
meeting
may
result
in
removal
from
this
meeting.
This
meeting
of
the
community
and
economic
development
committee
will
now
come
to
order.
B
B
Thank
you
great.
Thank
you.
Thank
you,
gentlemen.
For
joining
me.
We
have.
The
first
thing
is
to
review
the
work
plan.
There
are
two
items
on
the
read
on
the
work
plan
that
have
both
been
dropped.
The
first
is
a
work
to
future
annual
report
that
was
dropped
per
the
rules
committee
and
really
that's
because
we
had
a
report
from
them
not
that
long
ago,
when
there's
nothing
has
occurred
to
update
us
in
what
work
to
future
is
up
to
so
that
has
been
dropped.
B
So
I
will
turn
to
public
comments.
Please
keep
your
public
comments
to
those
specific
work
item,
work
plan
items
and
with
that
blair,
beekman.
C
Hi
baby
here,
happy
meeting
to
everyone
happy
end
of
may
to
everyone
may
2022..
C
I
was
interested
and
curious
if
the
wayfinding
efforts
is
a
part
of
say
the
kiosks
that
are
going
to
go
up
downtown,
that
can
give
information
to
people,
and
if
that
is
what
this
item
is
about,
I
think
those
kiosks
can
be
a
wonderful
idea
to
work
as
a
way
to
describe
what
exactly
is
you
know
the
open
public
policies
and
practices
that
san
jose
will
be
following?
C
So
when
you
read
the
information,
you
also
will
be
aware
that
there,
if
there's
an
open,
accountable
process
that
is
a
part
of
the
whole
technology
iot
system,
that's
being
created
for
the
downtown
area
and
for
people
to
be
aware
of
that.
I
think
just
would
make
them
happy.
I
think
they
would
just
feel
relief
and
interest,
and
it
would
just
be
part
of
an
overall.
C
What's
the
word
holistic
process
of
building
a
future
of
innovation
in
community
that,
I
think,
is
really
important
and
necessary
and
meaningful
and
that's
what
would
get
people
to
more
come
to
san
diego.
They
want
to
be
around
it
and
they
want
to.
You
have
interesting
people
who
want
to
be
around
that
process,
so
good
luck:
how
to
introduce
open
public
policies
and
accountability
practices
to
the
wayfinding
kiosks
for
the
future
of
the
downtown
area.
Thank
you.
D
B
E
Thank
you.
Yes,
there
is
a
lot.
Can
you
hear
me?
Okay?
Yes,
I
can
great
thank
you,
elizabeth
handler,
I'm
the
public
information
manager,
office
of
economic
development
and
cultural
affairs,
and
it
has
been
a
busy
roughly
quarter.
The
months
are
a
little
fluid
in
in
our
department,
with
both
events
and
activities
going
on
in
person
for
a
change
now,
and
also
the
the
other
kinds
of
communications
around
financial
help
for
small
businesses.
E
One
of
the
most
important
announcements
we've
made
recently
is
the
city's
grant
program
for
small
businesses
looking
to
help
for
help
with
past
due
rent
and
it's
all
part
of
an
effort
to
curtail
any
kind
of
commercial
eviction
wave
which
would
damage
not
only
the
small
businesses,
but
also
the
property
owners
in
town
who,
many
of
whom
are
moms
and
pops
themselves
and
those
properties
are
the
the
family's
wealth.
E
So
that's
going
on
and
it's
an
exciting
program.
We
also
now
have
our
projects
report
of
the
development
activities,
the
major
activities
around
town,
with
some
important
commercial
developments
happening,
including
the
west
bank
and
coleman
highline,
and
then
also
the
master
development
proposal
for
the
flea
market,
so
we're
working
on
those.
But
the
full
report
includes
an
interactive
map
and
details
on
the
residential
developments,
as
well
as
the
hotel
and
other
kinds
of
development.
So
that's
a
must
read.
E
We
had
an
interesting
partnership
with
facebook
just
recently,
which
was
open
to
both
small
businesses,
who
need
help
with
becoming
more
digital
in
their
marketing
and
also
for
young
adults
who
are
interested
in
internships
and
with
working
with
work
to
future.
This
matches
up
the
young
adults
who
get
training
and
then
they
go
and
help
the
small
businesses
become
more
adept
at
digital
marketing
and
communications.
E
So
that's
going
on
right
now,
oh
and
it's
a
trained
internship
as
well.
They
get
five
hundred
dollars
for
for
doing
it.
A
little
bit.
Excuse
me,
the
businesses
get
a
500
credit
and
the
interns
are
paid
at
a
weekly,
a
very
good
weekly
salary.
E
We've
been
doing
these
since
the
beginning
of
may
last
year,
and
it
is
a
group
of
anywhere
from
three
to
eight
people
from
our
business
development
unit,
going
out
to
commercial
districts
and
neighborhoods
with
small
businesses
all
over
the
city,
and
I
know
I
can
see
council
member
man
trying
very
hard
to
read
the
list.
E
I
apologize
it's
very
small,
but
the
blog
post,
if
you
click
on
the
blog
post,
you'll,
be
able
to
access
the
full
list
and
we're
covering
we've
covered
all
the
districts
so
far,
some
more
than
others
simply
because
of
the
difference
in
impact
of
covet
on
various
neighborhoods.
But
it
is
our
goal
to
reach
out
to
all
the
all
the
neighborhoods.
E
We
are
not
only
just
spreading
the
word
of
what
projects
that
what
support
is
available,
but
we're
also
collecting
information
on
what
the
businesses
are
most
concerned
about,
and
one
of
the
issues
is
definitely
the
impact
of
homelessness
on
commercial
neighborhoods
and
so
we're,
including
some
more
support
for
that.
In
our
ongoing
communications
to
small
businesses.
E
We
now
have
a
partnership
working
with
start
small,
think
big
to
be
able
to
support
small
businesses
with
their
relationships
with
their
landlords
and
helping
them
become
a
little
bit
more
savvy
in
terms
of
real
estate
and
being
able
to
be
both
less
vulnerable
to
eviction,
but
also
more
able
to
negotiate
and
manage
the
the
implications
of
where
they
have
to
do
to
do
business
so
that
we're
starting
with
a
series
of
webinars
on
it,
as
well
as
a
hotline.
E
In
moving
towards
what
the
council
directed
us
to
do,
which
is
to
help
create
an
advisory
group
that
will
be
responsible
for
making
decisions
about
the
disbursement
of
the
funds
that
were
developed
from
the
owners
of
the
flea
market
and
the
city
to
help
them
transition
through
the
developments
phase
that
the
market
is
going
through
over
the
next,
you
know
three
to
ten
years:
it's
a
it's
a
long
horizon,
but
the
vendors
are
very
concerned-
and
you
heard
a
you
heard
their
report
last
last
month
about
that,
and
I
think
you
got
the
flavor,
but
then
we
were
able
to
have
this
meeting,
which
was
very
successful.
E
As
far
as
we
were
concerned,
we
got
very
valuable
feedback
from
the
vendors.
E
E
The
communications
director
at
the
san
jose
downtown
association
detailing
some
of
the
kind
of
activation
and
experiential
aspects
of
the
recovery
as
downtown
is
experiencing
it,
including
the
san
pedro
square
market,
activation,
which
I
think
everybody
agrees
isn't
is
enormous,
as
well
as
post
street
and
the
advances
in
new
businesses
opening
up
in
in
san
jose,
along
with
mama
ken
going
into
the
cafe
stretch,
location,
and
I
can
share
that
that
opening
will
be
june
6th.
I
mean,
excuse
me
june
3rd,
coming
up
so
watch
your
calendars
for
that.
B
E
C
Hi
boy
beekman
here
thanks
a
lot
for
this
item.
You
know
during
march
and
april
I
felt
there
was
a
really
interesting
growth
and
a
way
of
talking
about
programs
in
san
jose
at
committee
meetings,
and
this
returns
to
those
kind
of
good
subject
matter.
This
is
positive
and
it's
constructive.
C
I
think
it's
so
thanks
a
lot
good
items,
the
items
of
say
that
I
was
interested
in
the
san
jose
program,
where
small
business
owners
can
can
call
a
toll-free
hotline
if
they
have
any
questions
and
want
some
sort
of
one-on-one
assistance
about
their
small
business
needs.
That's
interesting,
stuff!
C
That's
that's
new
and
helpful,
and
you
know
you
have
some
sort
of
loan
programs
for
small
businesses
that
are
going
on
a
projects,
report
and
rent
debt,
and
I
think,
there's
also
a
way
that
small
business
owners
to
talk
about
using
the
toll-free
number
to
say
talk
about
their
tenants
issues
really
helpful.
Thank
you
about
the
flea
market
issues.
You
know
good
luck
with
that.
Good
luck
with
how
I
think
that
flea
market
vendors,
I
think,
can
actually
have
a
right
to
consider.
C
You
know
a
bit
more
room
for
the
future
of
flea
market
vending
space
and
from
that
you
know
possibly
how
to
develop
what
exactly
the
the
place
will
look
like
and
how
it
will
be
designed
in
the
future.
I
think
vendors
can
have
a
really
important
voice
and
good
voice
to
in
the
future
design
of
what
exactly
this
area
will
look
like.
So
good
luck
in
those
sort
of
efforts
and
dialogue
and
thanks
a
lot
for
this
item.
B
D
Thanks
chair
I'll,
make
a
motion
in
just
a
moment.
Elizabeth.
Thank
you
for
the
report.
I
was
just
curious
if
you
could
give
us
a
little
more
context
on
the
conversations
with
the
vendors.
Specifically,
you
said
you
got
some
great
feedback
from
the
vendors
at
the
flea
market.
I
was
just
curious
if
you
could
share,
maybe
a
little
one,
one
more
degree
of
detail
around
kind
of
what
what
you're
hearing
and
what
their
priorities
are
at
the
moment.
E
Sure,
council
member
are
very
happy
to.
I
think
it
was
abundantly
clear
to
us
at
that
meeting,
although
we
knew
this
from
working
with
the
vendor
association,
that
the
concern
among
the
vendors
regarding
their
future
is
acute
and
from
our
perspective,
maybe
it's
unwarrantedly
acute,
because
we
understand
that
the
operators
and
the
owners
of
the
property
can't
evict
anybody
for
a
year
after
they
have
filed
their
development
application
and
that's
probably
a
year
plus
away
in
and
of
itself.
So
we
know
it's
not
happening
tomorrow.
E
E
Now,
as
we
go
through
this
development
process,
which
is
going
to
be
a
long
time
and
nancy
can
speak
more
to
that,
I
think
the
other
issue
that
has
come
up
clearly
to
us
is
that
they
feel
that
they
have
no
control
over
their
their
lives
as
tenants
of
the
flea
market
right
now,
and
they
desperately
want
it.
They
want
to
be
able
to
guide
their
own
destinies,
operate
their
own
flea
market
and,
as
anybody
knows,
who's
worked
in
this
area.
E
F
A
lot
of
good
things.
Thank
you.
So
much
elizabeth,
a
lot
of
good
things
going
on
additional
services,
technical
assist
services,
exploration
of
loan
products.
That
may
well
be
the
first
for
san
jose
that
we
could
think
about
yet,
including
to
other
small
businesses
beyond
that.
F
So
we're
we're
taking
the
opportunity
to
look
at
this
as
a
way
to
infuse
new
and
helpful
support
for
small
business,
and
then
thinking
as
mentioned,
and
mr
beekman
mentioned
about
what
what
is
possible
on
site
for
the
vendors
and
then
is
there
an
opportunity
off-site
and
we
are
hiring
consultants
as
specified
in
the
action
by
council
last
year.
D
G
Thank
you
yeah.
Just
a
quick
note,
thank
you,
elizabeth
who
mentioned
it,
but
we
are
excited,
and
so
I'm
inviting
everybody
from
this
committee
and
anybody
else
can
make
it
5
p.m.
Next,
friday
june
3rd
is
the
grand
opening
or
ribbon
cutting
for
mama
kin,
as
this
was
said,
taken
over
for
formerly
cafe
strich,
which
was
a
big
bummer
to
to
lose
that
venue,
so
it'd,
be
great
to
you
know,
continue
the
support
and
see
that
this
new
business
thrives
with
with
live
music
continuing
there
in
that
spot.
H
Carrasco
hi,
thank
you,
and
I
I
want
to
thank
you
for
the
report.
I
just
wanted
to
follow
up
on
a
couple
of
questions
regarding
the
flea
market.
Vendors.
If
you
will
just
a
couple
of
concerns
that
were
raised
and
were
brought
to
my
attention
by
some
of
the
advocates.
H
Of
course,
I
know
that
nancy
has
already
heard
them
and
I
know
we've
talked
about
it
in
the
past,
but
if
you
could
just
give
me
an
update
on
some
of
the
concerns
that
the
vendors
have
brought
up
regarding
you
know
the
the
parking
fees
and
the
entrance
fees
and
some
of
the
the
concerns
that
I
know
that
you've
heard
about
as
well
nancy.
F
F
Yes,
the
vendors
are
concerned
about
having
harder
economic
impacts
than
they
currently
are
experiencing
the
the
parking
and
or
a
300
stall
fee
that
was
added.
F
The
city
is
extremely
limited
to
almost
no
inter
quote-unquote
interference
between
a
business
owner
and
their
tenant
very
different
than
a
landlord
who
has
housing
or
particularly,
affordable
housing
there.
F
So
the
notion
of
loans
which
people
are
are
concerned
about
taking
they.
They
welcome
the
technical
assistance
and
potentially
the
loans,
but
very
much
wanting
to
continue
to
make
their
livelihood
and
look
to
ways
to
expand.
One
of
the
other
issues,
which
would
be
great
for
your
offices,
if
you'd
be
so
kind,
is
for
some
reason.
Some
folks,
in
all
of
the
action
that
took
place
last
year,
think
that
the
market
has
closed
or
is
closing
so
part
of
what
we're
trying
to
do
is
continue.
F
H
Oh
nancy,
I'm
not
so
I'm
sorry,
I
I
I
didn't
quite
follow
and
I
I
maybe
I
wasn't
very
clear,
so
I
I'm
I'm
unclear
as
to
as
to
the
the
response.
So
what
I
was
asking
was
about
the
about
the
additional
fees
that
have
been
imposed
and
whether
there
is
any
if
there's
been
any
resolution
or
if
we
know
that
these
fees
are
going
to
continue
to
burden
the
the
the
tenants.
F
Sure
councilmember,
I'm
sorry.
If
I
I
wasn't
clear.
This
city
unfortunately
has
no
ability
to
step
in
between
the
owner
of
the
flea
market
and
the
vendors,
and
there
were-
and
I
could
certainly
provide
to
you
and
or
other
committee
members,
the
the
owners
pointed
out
that
it
had
been
quite
a
number
of
years
before
they
raised
parking
fees
at
all
and
in
and
they
gave
fees
in
line
with
showing
that
they
were
still
less
than
other
markets
in
the
area,
be
it
the
berkeley,
flea
market
or
the
capital,
flea
market,
etc.
F
But
after
having
extensive
conversations
with
our
city
attorney's
office,
we
we
do
not,
as
a
city,
have
an
avenue
to
make
the
old
property
owner
do
something
different.
H
Right,
I
understand
that
and-
and
I
understand
that
the
studies
and
I
understand
the
comparisons
and
everything
I
do,
however,
think
that
when
we
we
have
these
reports,
I
think
we
have
to
be.
H
You
know
upfront
and
say
you
know
and
and
and
recognize
that
not
everything
is
you
know
going
perfectly
well,
it's
not
a
smooth
transition.
They
are
struggling.
This
is
what
I'm
hearing
directly
from
from
the
vendors.
I
want
to
be
very
clear
and
I
want
to
be
very
transparent.
There
is
a
gentleman
that
works
for
me
now.
H
One
of
my
staffers
roberto
who's
presented
co-presented
with
you
and
he
is
part
of
the
flea
market
vendors
association,
and
I
want
to
be
very
clear,
and
I
want
to
make
sure
that
I
I
go
on
record.
H
He
and
I
do
not
have
conversations
about
what's
happening
at
the
flea
market
because
he
wants
to
preserve
his
job
and
so
he's
built
a
firewall
around
these
conversations.
H
So
the
individuals
that
I'm
having
a
conversation
with
are
outside
of
roberto
and
and
I've
told
him
that
off
hours
he
can
come
to
me
and
he
still
has
not
come
to
me,
which
I
think
is
actually
a
a
tragedy
in
and
of
itself,
because
I
think
that
he's
one
of
the
best
advocates
and
I
think
that
he
should
feel
free
to
come
to
me
on
his
off
hours
and
advocate
for
his
association.
But
anyway
I
have
other
community
folks
that
are
coming
to
me
and
talking
to
me
about
this.
H
And
so
what
I'm
hearing
is
that
that
there
there
is
some
impact
on
the
vendors
because
of
these
fees,
and
so,
regardless
of
the
comparison
given
given
the
the
high
cost
of
living
and
everything
else
that
we
know
about
san
jose.
H
H
I
also
think
that
you
know
that
we
should
have
a
friendly
conversation,
there's
no
way
of
twisting
the
arms
of
the
bomb
family,
but
I
think
that
a
friendly
conversation
about
how
could
we
better
support
the
vendors
who,
who
you
know
for
over
60
years,
help
the
bum
family
build
a
dynasty
that
they
get
to
enjoy
for
generations
to
come
in
their
own
personal
wealth
and
and
now
they're
they
will
be
displaced,
no
matter
which
way
we
look
at
it,
no
matter
which
way
we
cut
it,
no
matter
which
way
we
want
to
portray
it,
no
matter
which
way
we
want
to
paint
it,
they
will
get
displaced
and
the
bomb
family
will
do
very
well
for
themselves.
H
After
all
of
this
is
said
and
done,
and
so
I
I
think
that
they
they
could,
you
know
they
could
potentially
look
to
see
how
they
could
ease
the
burden
and
allow
them
to
figure
out
how
to
secure
a
a
more.
I
don't
even
want
to
say,
profitable
future
for
the
vendors,
but
at
least
a
a
a
future
that
would
allow
them
to
just
secure
their
livelihood.
H
Additionally,
I
want
to
say
that
one
of
the
things
that
was
very
disturbing
to
me
was
that
some
of
the
the
their
costs
for
doing
business
has
gone
up
because
they
don't
have
a
lease.
They
have
a
license.
H
Of
course,
I'm
not
a
lawyer,
but
there
are
some
marked
differences
from
my
understanding,
at
least
what's
been
told
to
me,
and
yet
you
know
it's
been.
It's
been
explained
that
it's
because
of
the
cost
of
doing
business
has
gone
up
also
for
the
bum
family.
H
Maintenance
has
gone
up
yet
some
of
these
vendors
still
don't
have
electricity
for
them
to
conduct
business
in
the
middle
of
the
afternoon
as
it
gets
darker
and
in
addition,
some
folks
have
been
asked
to
vacate
or
to
terminate
their
their
business
practice,
because
suddenly
certain
rules
have
been
changed
on
them
after
they
conducted
business
there
for
over
30
years,
conducting
business
in
the
same
manner
and
suddenly
the
rules
are
are
changed
up
on
them
and
so
they're.
H
Okay,
following
the
rules
from
what
I've
been
told,
you
know
they
say
you
know
we'll
follow
the
rules.
Just
tell
us
what
the
rules
are
and
give
us
a
fair
warning
and
we'll
follow
those
rules.
But
but
what
I'm
hearing
is
you
know
suddenly
they're
they're,
you
know
playing
hardball
from
one
day
to
the
next,
and
so,
if
you
could
offer
any
suggestions
on
how
we
can
help
mediate,
that
or
how
we
can
you
know,
really
support
vendors
who
are
having
a
hard
time,
understanding
where
this
is
coming
from.
F
Council
member,
thank
you
very
much
for
for
the
passion
and
the
the
direction
I
wanted
just
to
ask
a
quick
question.
I
think
you
you
were
not
able
to
be
at
committee
when
when
the
vendor
report
was
given,
I
I
think
that
may
be
so,
and
what
I'd
like
to
know
I
was
I
was
I
was
there.
H
F
See
so
and
I'm
happy
offline
to
also
come
there
was,
you
may
recall,
apologize
for
for
not
recalling
in
more
detail
that
you
were
there,
but
there
was
quite
a
bit
of
extensive
conversation
that
roberto
on
behalf
of
the
vendors
shared
that
are
troubling
and
difficult,
and
by
no
means
are
we
trying
to
say
that
all
is
good.
All
is
really
hard.
There
are
some
highlights
in
that
the
vendors
association
is
strengthening
as
an
organization.
F
We
are
investing
in
in
roberto
and
other
leaders
roberto,
and
I
totally
respect
and
know
council
member
that
there's
no
stepping
over
the
bright
line
between
this
issue
and
your
office.
F
That
said
roberto's
is
a
is
a
amazing
young
leader,
and
investing
in
him
is
just
smart,
not
only
for
the
vendors
association
but
for
the
area
we
have
spoken
with
eric
directly
and
I
believe
that
the
best
we
have
been
able
to
accomplish
to
date
is
to
have
no
further
imposition
of
of
fees
that
maybe
have
been
contemplated,
and
we
have
also
shared
the
concerns
about
maintenance
very
directly
with
eric
to
go
back
to
the
family.
F
So
I
I
wanna
just
let
you
know
we
are
very
directly
speaking
to
the
family
that
we're
aware
so
that
they,
the
owners,
aren't
in
some
reason
for
some
reason,
thinking
that
we
don't
see
the
concerns.
H
Great,
I'm
really
glad
to
hear
that.
Thank
you
and
and-
and
we
can
thank
you
for
that-
I
really
appreciate
that
and
and
we
can't
have
a
conversation
offline,
but
I'm
I'm
glad
to
hear
that
that
that's
taking
place.
Thank
you.

I
I
Jared
ferguson,
housing,
catalyst
with
the
office
of
economic
development
and
cultural
affairs,
I'm
with
joined
with
rachel
van
der
veen
deputy
director
of
the
housing
department
and
michael
brio,
deputy
director
in
planning,
building
and
code
enforcement.
We're
here
today
to
provide
you
with
an
update
on
pro
on
our
progress.
Implementing
the
housing
crisis,
work
plan.
I
First
adopted
in
2018
the
housing
crisis
work
plan
is
intended
to
help
encourage
the
goal
of
25
000
housing
units
by
2023
that
have
received
planning
approval
or
under
construction
or
are
complete.
This
includes
15
000
market
rate
units
and
10
000,
affordable
units.
This
first
chart
shows
the
progress
towards
that
goal
through
march
of
2022.
I
This
chart
with
two
additional
charts
is
included
as
attachment
b
to
the
staff
report.
As
we've
noted
in
previous
reports,
the
city
has
met
the
goal
for
market
rate
housing
by
exceeding
15
000
market
rate
units.
Although
we
know
there
is
more
to
be
done
to
ensure
units
continue
to
move
along
through
the
process
to
completion.
I
I
I
Rents
remain
high
in
san
jose
and
rent
growth
has
been
positive
year
over
year,
increasing
14
from
last
year,
but
still
about
one
percent
behind
march
2020
at
the
start
of
the
pandemic.
The
rent
growth
is
a
positive
for
potential
market
rate
development,
but
construction
costs
have
continued
to
escalate
significantly
throughout
the
pandemic.
I
K
Thank
you
jared
again.
My
name
is
rachel
veen
deputy
director
of
the
housing
department,
as
jared
just
mentioned,
the
same
is
true
with
affordable
housing.
The
number
of
permits
building
permits
is
a
strong
indicator
of
upcoming,
affordable
housing
to
our
community.
We
currently
have
five
affordable
housing
developments
under
construction.
K
Therefore,
the
number
of
building
permits
is
limited
to
those
developments
who
have
received
allocations.
I
want
to
share
with
all
of
you.
We
were
successful
in
securing
four
allocations
in
the
most
recent
round,
but
the
difficult
reality
is
that
costs
are
increasing
and
financing
is
tightening
due
to
increased
interest
rates,
and
now
we
actually
have
a
real
concern
that
two
of
those
four
may
not
be
in
a
position
to
close
their
financing.
K
In
the
amount
of
time
that's
required
by
sid
black,
this
sid
back
is
actually
having
calling
a
special
meeting
this
week
on
wednesday
to
try
and
figure
out
how
they're
going
to
deal
with
this
issue.
We
have
these
troubled
developments
in
san
jose,
but
there
are
others
across
the
state,
and
so
the
development
community
has
asked
them
to
look
into
really
two
things.
One
is
an
extension
for
more
time
that
will
allow
developers
to
try
and
put
all
these
pieces
together
that
have
been
wobbling
the
last
few
weeks.
K
So
that's
one
strategy.
The
second
strategy
is
actually
to
dampen
the
penalty
for
not
closing
on
time.
So
right
now,
what
happens
is
if
a
developer
has
to
basically
give
back
a
siddha
allocation
because
they're
not
able
to
close
in
the
required
time
frame,
they
receive
a
strong
penalty,
which
is
negative
points
for
two
years.
So
what
that
means
is
that
affordable
housing
development
essentially
will
not
be
able
to
receive
any
sort
of
sid
lak
allocation
for
a
period
of
two
years.
K
So
there's
also
a
request
for
sydlak
to
basically
waive
those
penalties,
so
that
developers
don't
have
to
be
in
such
a
bad
position
for
not
closing
on
time
right
now.
So
again,
I
just
wanted
to
raise
this.
We
were
really
hopeful
that
our
number
for
2022
would
be
able
to
include
four
more
developments
that
could
pull
their
building
permits.
But
at
this
point
we
are
concerned
that
may
be
limited
to
just
two
and
we
still
have
to
figure
out
how
we're
going
to
pull
the
other
two
together.
K
So
all
right
next
slide.
K
The
last
two
were
just
really
focused
on
production,
so
I
am
happy
to
report
that
we
were
able
to
bring
forward
changes
to
the
commercial
linkage
fee
program
and
I'm
very
happy
to
let
you
all
know
we
received
our
first
commercial
linkage,
fee
payment
it
came
in
and
what
was
really
interesting
for
you
know,
if
you
remember
all
the
details
of
this
conversation,
what
we
did
is
we
actually
city
council
approved
like
an
incentive
to
pay
the
commercial
linkage
fee
at
building
permit,
which
you
know,
as
staff
reviewed.
K
The
process
is
really
the
ideal
time
to
receive
the
payment,
and
that
is
exactly
what
happened
with
our
first
payment.
It
was
paid
because
it
was
paid
at
building
permit
and
they
were
really
incentivized
to
receive
the
80
fee
that
came
along
with
paying
at
that
point
in
time.
K
So
we're
very
happy
to
report
that,
additionally,
we
were
able
to
move
forward
eliminating
commercial
space
requirements
for
affordable
housing
development.
This
has
been
kind
of
an
ongoing
conversation
for
a
long
period
of
time
and
we
feel
like
this
was
a
a
strong
accomplishment
and
something
included
in
our
work
plan
for
quite
some
time,
and
also
we
were
able
to
reimagine
underutilized
business
corridors
or
allow
allowing
for
housing.
K
J
Thank
you
rachel
michael
brio,
deputy
director
of
citywide
planning,
so
hang
on
a
second
there
we
go
so
the
big
focus
of
the
planning
department,
the
citywide
team,
as
well
as
the
housings
policy
team,
is
to
complete
the
housing
element.
That's
our
a
number
one
assignment
as
part
of
the
housing
crisis
and
actually
otherwise,
and
so
we're
moving
forward
with
that.
The
draft
element
is
anticipated
to
be
completed
and
brought
to
council
for
consideration
in
april
of
next
year.
A
big
part
of
that
work,
which
is
in
which
is
new.
J
It
originally
came
from
the
obama
administration.
Trump
got
rid
of
it,
but
california
continued
to
maintain
this
requirement
and
that-
and
that
is
to
an
assessment
of
fair
housing
to
address
past
racial
discrimination
and
segregation
and
to
create
a
pathway
for
a
more
equitable
and
inclusive
city
of
san
jose.
J
So
that's
a
big
part
of
our
work
that
we'll
be
doing
as
we
identify
sites
for
affordable
housing
and
a
work
program
to
further
implement
our
goals
and
our
housing
element
as
part
of
this
work,
we're
looking
we're
doing
public
participation
across
all
economic
segments
and
particularly
focusing
on
hard
to
reach
groups
as
well,
and
just
a
note
because
of
which
I'll
get
to
more
in
a
minute,
but
because
the
priority
of
the
housing
element,
it's
meaning.
J
We've
had
to
reallocate
staff
within
both
of
the
housing
department
side
and
the
planning
department's
died
to
focus
on
the
housing
element
and
and
not
to
focus
on
the
work
that
they
were
doing
prior.
So
that
is
impacting
housing
element
is
impacting
some
of
the
other
assignments
that
both
our
departments
have.
Next.
J
We
are
actively
recruiting
and
have
filled
four
vacancies,
we're
still
recruiting
for
three
senior
planners
and
two
planners,
so
so
we're
so
the
vacancies
as
well
as
turnovers,
so
mind
you,
it's
not
just
the
fact
that
you
don't
have
bodies,
but
you
have
experienced
staff
that
left
and
as
we
fill
them,
we
often
are
getting
people
that
are
starting
out
their
career
or
at
least
new
to
the
city.
So
we
it
takes
time
to
train
them
and
bring
them
on
board
that
is
affecting
some
of
our
project
timelines.
J
Some
of
the
housing
crisis,
work
programs
in
the
memo
are
being
delayed
or
temporarily
on
on
hold
due
to
the
lack
of
staff
that
we
currently
have
in
combination
with
us
need
to
reallocate
resources
to
focus
on
the
housing
element
next
slide.
J
So
I
just
want
to
highlight
some
of
the
things
in
our
work
program.
One
of
them
is,
is
yigbee
not
assembly
use
sites.
This
includes
all
assembly
uses.
Most
commonly
thought
of
as
places
of
worship
that
work
actually
is
going
forward.
That's
one
of
the
items
we
are
still
doubling
down
and
working
on
where
we
are
with
that.
Currently
is
developing
the
project,
description
for
sequa
and
the
sql
process.
J
We
anticipate
we
would
bring
a
policy
back
to
council
for
its
consideration
early
next
year.
The
primary
driver
of
this
work
really
actually
is
the
sequa.
So
that's
that's.
What's
taking
the
amount
of
time
it's
needed
to
complete
this
work,
the
other.
The
other
item
that
we
got
council
direction
to
do
and
is
in
our
work
program-
and
we
were
actually
working
on
this-
was
to
explore
a
policy
that
would
allow
housing
and
other
non-pqp
uses
of
public
school
lands.
J
We
affectionately
call
this
yo
soul,
so
yosel
is
on
hold
due
to
originally
initially,
it
was
on
hold
because
of
concern
by
the
school
districts
on
this
and
their
need
to
get
students
back
into
school
in
the
covenant
pandemic.
But,
more
recently,
it's
because
of
staffing
issues.
We've
had
to
put
this
item
on
hold.
We
anticipate
starting
this
one
up
again
once
yigby
is
completed
and
council
has
made
a
decision
on
what
to
do
with
yigbee
and
then
we'll
move
next
onto
yo
soul.
J
The
other
work
plan
highlight
or
item
I
want
to
just
mention
really
quickly-
is
council
direction.
You
apply
the
mobile
home
park,
landy's
designation
on
the
remaining.
I
think
it's
56
mobile
home
parks
in
san
jose,
and
so
that's
that's
work.
We
put
out
a
memo
in
2018
outlines
the
resources
that
we
would
need.
It's
included
in
this
memo
as
well
that
the
staff,
both
housing
department
and
planning
would
need
to
complete
that
work.
J
This
is
some
an
item
that
potentially
we
could
get
to
in
a
year
and
a
half
or
so
as
the
aligning
the
general
plan.
With
this,
the
zoning
with
the
general
plan
team
winds
down
that
work.
They
they
could
take
up
this
work.
We
would
still
need
additional
resource
resources
for
sequa
housing
would
need
resources
as
well,
but
you
know
the
key
item
is
we
need
resources
to
do
this
work
and
so
that
that's
up
to
the
council's
decision
to
to
to
do
to
give
us
those
resources
next
slide.
I
Thanks,
michael
so,
since
its
creation,
the
housing
crisis
work
plan
has
contained
an
evolving
list
of
strategies
to
increase
housing
production
or,
in
some
cases,
to
preserve
existing
affordable
units
with
an
overall
goal
of
delivering
25
000
new
units
by
2023,
with
15
000
market
rate
and
10
000
affordable.
I
I
I
Implementation
of
the
work
plan
is
managed
through
the
housing
catalyst
team.
The
team
meets
on
a
bi-monthly
basis
and
is
composed
of
staff
from
the
business
and
economic
development,
team
and
office
of
economic
development
and
cultural
affairs,
the
city-wide
planning
division
and
the
department
of
planning
building
and
code
enforcement.
I
The
policy
and
planning
and
residential
development
divisions
and
the
housing
department
and
the
strategic
planning
team
in
the
department
of
parks,
recreation
and
neighborhood
services.
The
creation
of
this
interdepartmental
housing
catalyst
team,
has
led
to
greater
collaboration
and
served
as
a
valuable
place
to
pool
knowledge
and
resources
around
individual
issues.
I
I
This
new
form
would
allow
the
city
to
continue
with
the
most
useful
elements
of
the
housing
crisis
work
plan,
one
of
which
has
been
our
interdepartmental
team,
interdepartmental
housing,
catalyst
team
focused
on
the
policies
and
programs
in
the
work
plan.
Then,
additionally,
the
work
plan
itself
would
continue
as
a
unified
location
for
staff.
The
city
council
and
the
public
to
understand
and
track
what
work
is
being
pursued
related
to
housing
in
san
jose
with
that.
That
concludes
our
presentation.
B
L
Hi,
thank
you.
This
is
jill
borders.
I
just
wanted
to
thank
this.
Thank
those
that
just
gave
this
report
and
including
the
mobile
home
efforts
that
will
be
taking
place
over
the
next
18
months.
Actually,
excuse
me
not
until
18
months
is
what
I
gathered
from
another
meeting
that
I
was
in,
so
I
hope
somebody
will
on
the
council.
Excuse
me
on
on
this
committee
will
ask
these
questions,
because
we
have
been
waiting
for
this
unanimous
council
vote
to
to
apply
a
mobile
homeland
use
designation
through
the
56
mobile
home
parks.
L
We've
been
waiting
for
this,
as
you
know,
since
2020,
and
we
know
that
there
are
staffing
shortages.
We
know
there
are
issues,
but
this
goes
back
and
if
you
look
at
the
history
of
mobile
home
parks,
really
when
I
say
history,
I
mean
from
like
the
1970s
and
the
efforts
in
the
90s
to
to
change
them
into
other
things
and
then
having
to
reapply
protections
and
then
them
being
taken
off
again
for
the
20
40
plan
and
now
having
to
have
protections
again.
L
But
we
really
want
to
make
sure
that
this
committee
and
the
entire
council
and
the
entire
housing
department
and
the
planning
department
know
that
it
matters
greatly
to
us
that
this
happens,
and
so
I
do
hope
we
can
find
the
resources
for
this
and
the
people
involved
to
make
this
happen,
because
securing
these
units
and
making
sure
that
we're
preventing
displacement
is
one
of
the
really
only
actually
one
of
the
most
important
things
that
we
can
do
during
this
crisis.
So
thank
you
so
much.
B
Thank
you
jill,
not
not
to
mention
that
mobile
homes
are
amongst
the
most
affordable
housing
available
right
now.
Next,
caller
is
blair
beekman.
C
Hi,
thank
you.
Thank
you
for
the
words
of
jill
borders.
It
was
nice.
She
could
offer
something
just
specific
that
yourselves
can
work
on
in
housing.
That
was
interesting
words.
Thank
you
for
myself.
C
I
guess
I
could
just
go
over
the
list
of
you
know
the
things
that
I
I
try
to
bring
up
that
I
think,
are
important
to
work
on
good
luck
on
on
dealing
with
this
affordable
housing
financing
issue.
That's
going
on.
I
don't
know
this
sounds
like
a
long-term
problem.
That's
coming
up
right
now
and
good
luck.
How
you
can
really
address
it
and
find
relief
that
can
be
for
the
long
term
and
good
good
ideas
for
for
a
long-term
planning.
C
We
shouldn't
lose
affordable
housing
and
we
don't
have
to
do
it
cheaply.
We
can
do
it.
A
process
well
to
include
the
subsidy
process,
has
made
decision,
making
a
little
different
for
ourselves
at
this
time,
a
reminder
and
importance
of
good
practices
we
already
have
and
that
the
future
of
subsidy
for
say
the.
I
can't
think
of
what
they're
called
the
the
this
very
specific
housing,
the
you
know
the
enclosed
housing.
C
I
can't
remember
its
name
right
now,
but
for
that
you
know
very
specialized
form
of
housing,
that's
being
developed
all
around
the
city
at
this
time
that
doesn't
have
to
be
fully
subsidized
and-
and
you
know
it's
it's
vetting
process-
doesn't
have
to
be
efficient,
made
more
efficient
if
you
expediate,
bringing
in
the
housing
better
or
easier
faster.
C
Those
are
very
high-end
developers
and
they're
not
going
to
be
really
searching
for
really
low
income
housing
for
the
future
of
that
housing.
We
need
to
work
on
that
kind
of
stuff
and
make
sure
that
extremely
low,
very
low
and
mixed
income
is
always
important.
G
Yeah,
thank
you
very
much
and
thanks
for
the
presentation,
I
am
curious
because
the
as
we
just
saw
in
the
presentation
heard
on
this
mobile
home
work,
I
also
was
not
aware
that
we're
looking
at
another
18
months
potentially
before
we
can
tell
me
if
I
heard
it
correctly
before
we
would
start
to
work,
is
that
correct.
J
Yeah,
so
I
think
the
message
back
in
2018
frankly
was:
we
couldn't
start
the
work
at
all
until
we
got
resources
from
council
and
there
was
a
memo
we
put
out
that
estimate
it
was
around
350
000
that
we
would
need,
and
we
still
need
resources
from
the
council
to
do
this
work.
J
I
think
where
we're
at
where
we're
thinking
at
the
moment
is
that,
as
the
team
completes
the
rezonings
per
requirements
of
state
law,
that
that
staff
could
transition
and
start
doing
general
planning
and
some
mobile
home
parks
when
you
know
that
that
would
that
would
probably
be
about
a
year
and
a
half
from
now
when
they
could
start
to
transition
over.
We
will
still
need
money
from
council
to
do
that.
J
G
Okay,
that
that
is
helpful,
is
there
a
reason
why
this
was
not
on
the
list
of
the
priority
items,
the
backlog?
You
know
priority
items
or
initiatives
where
we
would
then
decide.
Is
that,
because,
essentially,
is
this
saying
hey,
this
has
been
prioritized?
It's
already
worked,
it's
uncle
that
should
be
going
on,
but
it's
just
not
funded
is
that.
Is
that
why
I
don't.
I
I
remember
a
bit
of
the
background.
I
can
take
this
if
you
so
in
2020,
when
the
the
mobile
home
park
general
plan
designation,
was
created
and
then
applied
to
the
two
mobile
home
parks
most
at
risk.
It
was
also
removed
from
the
council
priority
list
at
that
time,
and
then
we
replaced
this
item
on
the
housing
crisis
work
plan
to
track
the
implementation,
but
it
you
know,
since
the
the
major
policy
work
related
to
the
mobile
home
parks
was
completed.
I
That's
why
it
was
taken
off
the
council
priority
list
at
the
time
that
was
before
the
the
road
map
was
created.
G
Okay,
I
guess
I
am
concerned
because
you
know,
obviously
we
just
we
spent
a
good
amount
of
time
discussing
the
budget,
and
then
we
discussed
spent
an
afternoon
discussing
the
backlog
items
and
you
know
where
we're
potentially
you
know
adding
even
more
work
to
the
to
the
plate
and
and
yet
in
that
discussion
right
wasn't
surfaced
hey
by
the
way,
this
particular
set
of
work
that
the
council
has
already
supported
being
done
is
still
left
unfunded.
G
So
in
essence
it
I
think
it
you
know
it
should-
should
have
been
denoted
as
backlogged
work
or
shelved
work
right.
That
is
sitting
there
waiting
until
we
we
get
some
funding
for
it,
so
it
may
not
be
you
know
needing
to
be
prioritized
to
get
done.
It's
just
prioritized
to
get
funding,
but
nonetheless
I
think
that,
unfortunately,
we're
still
a
day
and
a
half
away
before
budget
documents
are
due.
G
So
I
can,
you
know,
ask
my
team
to
craft
one,
but
but
I
think
that
it
would
have
been
better
somehow,
with
an
item
like
this,
to
enter
that
discussion,
and
to
be
aware
that
you
know
hey
this
work
that
we
may.
I
know
I
felt
was
you
know,
was,
was
going
to
be
prioritized
and
find
its
way
to
be
concluded
that
it's
basically
sitting
on
a
shelf
until
the
council
makes
a
separate
decision
to
fund
the
the
work,
and
so
I'm
glad
we're
having
that
discussion
today.
G
But
I'm
you
know
I
I
wouldn't
have
been
so
happy
say,
for
instance,
if
this
meeting
was
next
week-
and
you
know
now
we're
sort
of
beyond
where
a
budget
document
is
due.
So
I
think
that
it's
we
got
to
marry
up
some
of
the
the
work
that
is
yet
to
be
done
or
work
like
this.
That
maybe
is
yet
to
be
funded.
G
We
should
marry
that
up
into
the
conversations
that
we
that
we
have
around
the
budget
so
that
way
we
can
actually
understand
you
know,
should
we
be
trying
to
add
more
work
to
the
list
or
are
asking
for
particular
one-off
projects
to
be
funded,
or
should
we
be
asking
for
things
that
have
already
been
passed?
You
know
voted
on,
prioritized
and
now
they're
just
waiting
on
some
funding
so
because
I
do
think
this
is
extremely
important
work
and
I'm
glad
we
did
it.
G
I'm
glad
we
identified
the
two
most
vulnerable
mobile
home
parks,
but
there
are
now
a
couple
other
mobile
home
parks,
one
in
particular
that
is
vulnerable
and
I'd
like
to
you
know,
sort
of
see
that
we
continue
this
work
to
to
get
through
the
remaining
ones.
So
I
got
some
work
to
do
before
wednesday
looks
like
okay
thanks.
A
And
council
member
perales,
this
is
rosalind
huey.
I
I
just
certainly
understand
your
concern
and
just
wanted
to
add
a
little
bit
on
to
what
jared
had
previously
shared.
Just
a
reminder
that
you
know
the
city
council
did
prioritize
those
two
mobile
home
parks
because
they
had
a
land
use
designation
at
a
high
density.
So
they
were
seen
at
risk
and
just
a
reminder
we
do.
A
The
city
does
have
a
very
good
protection
for
all
of
our
mobile
home
parks,
and
that
is
our
conversion
ordinance,
and
so
these,
for
these
remaining
home
mobile
home
parks
that
have
a
lower
density
land
use
designation.
They
would
have
to
come
into
the
city
and
and
abide
by
that
conversion
ordinance
because
they're
they
don't
have
a
high
enough
density.
Land
use
designation
to
do
any
major
redevelopment,
and
that
was
part
of
the
reason
why
staff
did.
A
You
know
indicate
back
in
2020
that,
since
we
had
dealt
with
the
two
most
at
risk
that
we
had
considered
that
city
council
priority
completed
so
just
wanted
to
add
that
context
as
well.
G
Yeah,
thank
you
I
you
know
and
there's
obviously
a
lot
that
has
gone
on
between
then
and
now
and
a
lot,
obviously
that
we
discuss
and
vote
on.
So
I
appreciate
the
historical
context
on
that.
G
I
still
think
it's
important
work
to
be
concluded
and,
honestly
I
just
I
guess
you
know
up
until
today's
discussion
wasn't
aware
that
it
just
really
required
the
council
to
make
a
budgetary
decision
that
says:
hey,
let's,
let's
fund
this
work,
if
we
want
it
done,
and
it
sounds
like
that's
the
that's
the
big
hurdle
here,
so
I
think
we
can.
We
can
make
that
decision
in
the
coming
weeks.
B
I
I
appreciate
the
discussion
around
the
mobile
home
parks
and
and
the
comments
rosalind
around
the
conversion
ordinance,
but
it's
really
the
mobile
home
park
occupants
who
will
give
them
peace
of
mind
when
we
do
this
zoning
change,
and
I
I
think
this
is
what
it's
primarily
about,
because
they're
concerned
that
things
can
change
around
them
without
them
having
much
influence.
So
I
too
wasn't
aware
that
this
was
a
budget
budgetary
issue
and
that's
why
we
hadn't
gone
forward.
B
So
I
need
to
think
about
how
I
might
want
to
position
that
as
well
council
member
mayhem.
D
Thank
you
chair.
I
wanted
to
ask
maybe
a
couple
of
questions
about
how
we're
interpreting
the
goal
and
and
how
we
are
interpreting
our
progress
toward
the
goal.
So,
as
I
understood
it,
many
you
know
five
years
ago
now,
reading
about
the
the
mayor's
25
000
unit
goal
in
the
paper
and
what
I
even
read
in
the
memo
today
indicates
that
the
goal
was
to
deliver
25
000
units
which
to
me,
and
I
think,
to
the
public.
D
We
know
there
are
some
real
funding,
limitations
there
and
other
challenges,
but
I'm
not
sure
we
should
be
interpreting
that
any
of
this
is
going
particularly
well
frankly,
and
so
I
I
just
want
to
make
sure
we
we're
on
the
we're
kind
of
level
setting
properly
so
I'll
pause
there.
I
may
have
some
follow-up
questions,
but
it
seems
to
me
that,
from
what
we
were
hoping
to
do
five
years
ago,
we're
actually
pretty
far
off.
I
Yeah
thanks
councilmember,
just
so
on
on
the
the
first
part.
The
way
that
it
was
it
was
put
in
the
housing
crisis.
Work
plan
is
units
that
have
received
planning
approval,
so
entitlement
units
under
construction,
which
is
a
building
permit,
received
or
completed,
so
the
unit
number
was
always
counted
in
that
way.
I
understand
what
your
question
is
and
I
think
that's
why
you
know
our
reference
is.
I
You
know
why
we
need
to
continue
to
do
work
on
you
know
and
continue
the
work
that
we've
done
in
the
work
plan
going
in
into
2023..
I
would
also
just
say
you
know.
The
work
plan
itself
has
always
been.
You
know,
centered
or
focused
on
policies
to
encourage
production.
You
know
with
the
understanding
that
it's
you
know
the
market
that
really
delivers
housing,
and
so
our
you
know,
while
we
we
definitely
can
have
an
impact.
I
It's
still,
you
know
there
are
a
lot
of
other
factors
outside
of
our
control,
and
so
just
keeping
that
in
mind
as
well
in
terms
of
our
ability
to
to
deliver
or
not
deliver,
so
it
looks
like
nancy
might
have
something
to
add
there
as
well.
So
I'll
let
her
go.
F
Thank
you
very
much
just
wanted
to
take
the
opportunity
to,
I
guess
state
the
obvious
we
have
done
as
much
as
we
have
control
over
and
the
challenge
is
much
as
rachel
shared
with
the
locking
finance
for
those
affordable
projects,
the
market
rate
projects
because
of
three
issues,
primarily
financing
the
costs
and
then
the
rents,
certainly
through
the
pandemic,
as
jared
mentioned,
even
though
we've
all
heard
stories
about
rents
being
high
they're,
not
still
not
quite
caught
up
to
2020,
but
the
costs
for
construction
are
very
high
and,
as
you
know
recently,
unfortunately,
interest
rates
are
starting
to
creep
up.
F
So
the
things
that
we
have
tools
to
address,
we
have
done
a
a
good
job
on
getting
through.
When
you
council.
Member
really
are
aware,
there
are
some
challenges
to
getting
things
done
on
time.
Other
goals
we
would
have
to
explore
and
see.
If
at
all,
we
could
impact
those
financing
would
be
extremely
difficult
for
us
to
to
incent.
D
Yeah
no,
I
I
appreciate
the
the
significant
challenges
here
and,
and
I
don't
want
to
be
clear-
I'm
I'm
not
saying
I'm
not
trying
to
wallow
in
in
failure.
I
I
want
us
to
just
be
accurately
assessing
what
has
happened,
what
we've
learned
where
we
are
and
as
we
head
into
this
conversation
in
the
fall
where
we
evaluate
when
we
look
back
on
the
five
years,
and
we
say
okay,
what
what
worked?
What
didn't?
D
I
just
want
to
make
sure
we
are
really
thoroughly
and
honestly
analyzing
this
and
I'm
not
saying
that
anyone
here
has
done
anything
wrong.
It's
a
really
challenging
environment
and,
as
you
say,
we
don't
have
total
control
over
the
outcome.
I
think
that's
that
certainly
needs
to
be
stated
at
the
same
time,
I'm
not
sure
everyone
would
agree.
We've
done
absolutely
everything
within
our
power
to
facilitate
housing,
construction
in
san
jose.
D
I
think
there's
kind
of
a
range
of
potential
levers,
and
you
know
some
of
us
want
to
pull
some
of
those
levers
and
and
not
others,
and-
and
I
don't
like
every
possible
solution-
and
I
don't
think
any
of
us
you
know-
would
want
to
do
everything
every
possible
thing
we
could
do
because
we'd
have
to
the
trade-offs
might
be
too
great,
but
but
there
are
always
options,
and
I
think
if
we
had
a
panel
of
home
builders
here
on
the
call
today-
and
we
asked
them,
has
san
jose
done
absolutely
everything
it
possibly
could
have
in
the
last
five
years
to
enable
home
building
in
san
jose.
D
I
doubt
they
would
all
say:
yes,
we've
done
absolutely
everything
we
could.
So
I
think
it's
just
an
important
conversation
we
had
hoped.
You
know,
I
think
at
least
the
public
just
to
be
clear.
The
public
understanding
was
we're
trying
to
do
25
000
units
over
five
years
or
5
000
new
units
a
year
looks
like
we
delivered
about
a
thousand
now
we
know
there
are
challenges,
I'm
not
bringing
that
up
to
try
to
again
dwell
on
negativity,
it's
more
about
what
are
we
hearing
from
the
market
that?
What
other
levers
I
mean?
D
I
guess
what
I'm
what
I'm
reflecting
on
out
loud
here
is.
I
hope
that
when
we
have
this
conversation
in
the
fall,
we
talk
very
bluntly
about
the
challenges
and
lay
out
whatever
menu
of
options.
There
might
be
to
to
be
even
more
aggressive
about
incentivizing,
the
building
that
we
want
in
san
jose,
where
we
want
it.
I
think,
particularly
within
urban
villages
and-
and
just
you
know,
be
willing
to
have
that
that
conversation,
because
I
worry
that
the
implication
as
well.
D
We
we
met
the
market
rate
goal
which,
which
implies
that
we're
doing
great,
and
I
don't
think
any
of
us
would
say
that
we
think
we're
doing
great
on
on
meeting
our
housing
needs,
and
so
I
just
I
wanted
to
flag
that
because
I
I
don't
think
that
is
a
correct
framing
of
this.
I
just
want
to
make
sure
we're
going
to
have
a
really
productive
conversation
in
the
fall
jared.
Sorry
did.
I
Sorry,
I
just
had
two
two
things
I
understand.
Definitely
where
you're
coming
from.
I
think
two
two
things
to
to
add.
You
know
the
cost
of
development
report.
You
know
which
we've
done
two
other
iterations
we
have
coming
back
in
august
to
the
council.
You
know
it's
number
one
on
the
work
plan
I
think,
is
a
very
important
tool
to
to
be
able
to,
to
give
you
know:
staff
and
the
council
the
ability
to
kind
of
understand
all
the
factors
that
are
influencing
development
and
make
choices.
I
You
know
based
on
those
on
that
report
and
then,
second,
just
in
terms
of
the
metric
and
the
goal,
I
think
you
know
moving
to
the
arena
numbers
rather
than
kind
of
the
25
000
unit
was
was
you
know
intentional,
because
I
think
we
feel
like
that.
That's
really
a
better
metric
to
go
off
of
and
what
we
should.
I
mean
that's
what
we're
saying
we're
going
to
build
in
in
the
next
cycle.
I
D
D
D
D
I
I
want
to
make
sure
we
are
analyzing
this
as
a
and
that
we
on
the
council
are,
are
really
getting
the
good,
the
bad,
the
ugly
of
this
and
understand
what,
if
any
options
we
have
to
be
even
more
aggressive
and-
and
I
just
I
want
to
make
sure-
in
the
spirit
of
candor-
that
we're
that
we're
doing
that
when
we
look
at
these
numbers,
particularly
in
the
fall,
I
think
that's
going
to
be
an
important
moment
of
reflection,
as
we
kind
of
think
about
the
next
phase
of
of
our
work.
Here.
B
Okay,
then,
I
have
a
couple
of
comments.
I
I
appreciate
the
numbers
on
the
the
25
000,
but
I
think
we're
missing
a
big
number
and
that
is
or
we're
missing,
including
it
in
affordable
housing,
and
I
just
want
to
call
attention
to
the
number
of
adus
that
we
have
being
built.
They
are
affordable
by
design.
B
I
know
we
don't
consider
them
affordable
housing
in
our
affordable
housing
numbers,
but
I
truly
believe
we
should-
and
I
know
they
are
not
deed
restricted,
and
I
I
know
that's
how
we
look
at
the
affordable
housing
units,
but
they
are
affordable
in
the
nature
of
their
size
and
their
construction
costs.
So
I
I
would
encourage
us
to
look
at
that.
The
adu
numbers
with
and
be
pleased
where
our
adu
numbers
are
and
adding
in
a
new
adu
ally
next
year
through
the
budget.
If
that
gets
passed,
also
help
increase.
B
Our
adu
numbers
doesn't
mean
we're
meeting
our
affordable
housing
goals
of
10
000,
but
it
certainly
adds
to
the
number
of
housing
stock
in
the
affordable
housing
realm.
So
I
just
want
to.
I
never
want
to
lose
focus
on
the
adus,
because
they're
really
important
count
in
housing,
because,
while
big
projects,
big
developments,
take
a
long
time
to
go
up,
an
adu
does
not,
and
adus
can
be
built
in
a
backyard
very
very
quickly
if
we
have
the
permitting
and
staff
available
rachel.
B
K
Yes,
so
the
the
two
that
are
moving
forward
are
the
the
kelsey,
which
is,
let's
see,
that
one's
in
it's
a
lot
of
district,
three
actually
yeah.
K
So
the
kelsey
is,
I
mean,
we're
you
know
it's
a
it's
a
closing.
Every
closing,
you
know
has
its
moments,
but
it
anyway
we
anticipate
it
will
close.
Okay,
the
if.
K
Yeah
I
mean,
but
I'm
actually
saying
the
whole
we'll
actually
have
a
loan
closing
right:
okay,
yeah.
So
all
the
pieces
of
financing
will
come
in
together
right
and
it
will
close
right.
Okay.
So
that's
what
I
mean.
B
K
I
K
B
K
So,
okay,
the
other
one
moving
forward
is
roosevelt,
which
is
over
on
east
santa
clara,
so
that
one
is
expected
to
close
and
then
the
two
that
we
are
concerned
about
are
el
garvey,
which
is
also
on
east
santa
clara.
A
little
closer
here
to
city
hall
than
roosevelt
is
and
that
one.
What
happened
is
the
the
investor
for
the
tax
credits
pulled
out
recently
and
so
we're
trying
to
find
a
new
investor.
K
But
that
is
you
know,
that's
something
we're
doing
right
now
and
we're
hoping
that
that
will
happen.
But
that
is
the
concern
and
then
the
other
one
is
mcavoy,
which
is
in
the
deardan
station
area
and
that
one
really
again
and
and
there's.
I
would
just
say
that
these
things
don't
just
happen
right,
but
really
it
is
this.
The
fact
that
the
costs
are
increasing
and
then
the
these
gaps
that
are
getting
created
are
just
more
and
more
difficult
to
fill
with
with
our
financing.
And
so
that's
really.
K
B
K
They
have
120
days,
and
so
that's
the
challenge
is
that
during
that
time,
these
things
have
these
ish.
Actually,
though,
if
you
think
about
the
last
120
days,
that's
when
we've
really
seen
some
changes
in
this
environment,
and
so
that's
that's
the
challenge
because
they
just
have
120
days.
K
So
again,
that's
why
sidlak
is
having
an
emergency
meeting
on
wednesday
they're
going
to
be
considering
these
issues
and
we're
just
really
hoping
that
they
may
be
sympathetic
to
our
situation,
where,
even
like
an
additional
90
days,
can
make
a
big
difference
for
some
of
these
deals.
K
That
would
definitely
be
helpful.
We
have
typically
been
working
with
the
mayor's
office
and
the
mayor's
been
really
instrumental
in
helping
us
with
this
type
of
thing.
So
we
will
continue
to
do
that
and
coordinate
this
week
to
see
if
there's
something
that
we
can
do
there,
and
we
would
really
appreciate
your
support
as
well.
B
If
you
had
some
talking
points
or
a
template,
or
something
that
we
could
use,
make
it
easy
on
the
council
members,
then
we
could
send
something
out
under
our
names
to
sydlack
and
and
who
we
send
it
to,
because
this
is
really
critical.
That's
the
finance
piece,
that's
missing
in
completing
these
affordable
housing
projects.
I
know
in
in
in
my
district,
where
we
haven't
had
a
lot
of
affordable
housing.
B
I
have
just
under
a
thousand
units
that
are
in
various
stages,
one
of
them's
almost
ready
to
be
for
groundbreaking,
but
they're
all
in
risk
of
financing
too,
because
of
rates
right
now
and
and
the
financing
terms.
So
we
don't
want
to
lose
those
because
some
of
them
are
in
great
locations
and
we
all
need.
B
Well,
anything
we
can
do,
please
let
us
know,
and
if
you'd
be
so
kind
to
send
us
information
that
we
could
then
use
and
and
send
out.
That
would
be
really
helpful.
G
Yeah,
thank
you
just
a
couple
things
based
on
the
comments,
so
first
the
agave.
Well
I'm
happy
to
hear
the
other
projects
in
district
three
moving
forward.
Agave
though
I
know
one
of
the
concerns
was
that
they
were,
you
know,
obviously
preparing
to
move
forward
and
they
they
they
did,
remove
two
businesses
or
displaced
two
businesses
that
were
there
now
they've
kind
of
been.
G
You
know
the
property's
been
sitting
vacant
for
a
while
and
so
hearing
that
it's
you
know,
I
think,
almost
two
years
so
hearing
that
it's
potentially
going
to
be
delayed
further
is
a
bit
concerning.
So
I'm
hoping
that
that
can
be
resolved.
Is
there
any
any
light
at
the
end
of
that
tunnel?
There
rachel
or
hope
that
you
know
that
that
sort
of
moves
forward.
K
Our
hope
would
be
an
extension
of
time
for
specifically
for
algarve.
We
think
that
that
would
be
really
beneficial.
G
Okay,
yeah,
okay,
yeah!
That's
that's!
Definitely,
like
I
said
concerning
and
and
again
the
big
thing
I
mean
we
want
to
be
able
to
move
as
fast
as
possible
on
these,
but
then,
when
we
don't
right,
there's
all
sorts
of
other
challenges,
not
just
the
fact
that
we're
not
getting
affordable
housing
but
again,
in
this
case
a
neighborhood
that
already
is
struggling
with
blight
and
homelessness
and
crime
and
whatnot.
Then
you
have
a
vacant
building
for
two
years
it
was
sitting
there
waiting
or
a
couple
buildings
actually
a
couple
businesses.
G
A
new
development
to
come
in
just
brings
about
other
additional
challenges
so,
and
then
I
think
you
know
just
speaks
to
as
well
the
some
of
the
work
that
I've
been
doing
over
the
years
to
try
and
ensure
that
we
can
spread
the
love
around
the
city
with
with
what
we've
continually
seen
just
a
a
focus
within
particular
parts
of
our
community,
and
so
hopefully
we'll
start
to
see
that
as
well
with
some
of
our
signing
policy
work
and
the
way
that
we
are
now
ourselves
incentivizing
and
funding
some
projects.
G
And
I
appreciate
that
our
chair,
councilman
foley,
is,
is
expressing
right
publicly
an
eagerness
to
to
be
part
of
that
right
to
be
part
of
that
success
and
have
that
affordable
housing.
You
know
right
be
developed
out
in
indiana
and
throughout
other
parts
of
the
city.
Lastly,
this
was
just
kind
of
thinking
about
it
after
country
mayhem's
comments.
G
I
think
that,
because
we
as
a
city
take
rightfully
so,
but
but
I
think,
take
a
lot
of
responsibility
in
regards
to
this
crisis
as
we
have
deemed
it
and
as
we
are
set
out
to
to
try
and
and
see
how
we
resolve
it,
there
becomes
a
a
belief
from
people
in
our
community
that
we
actually
can't
solve
it
right
and-
and
I
think
that,
as
we
know,
and
as
we've
talked
about
even
here,
just
the
the
intricacies
of
one
individual
project
and
how
you
know,
we
have
no
control
over
this
particular
mechanism
of
once.
G
We've
done
our
job
we've
gotten
out
of
the
way,
for
instance,
this
algarve
project
right
I've
got
the
community
on
board
we've
gone
through
a
process
we've
you
know,
sort
of
getting
to
a
point
where
then
you
know
this
financing
or
funding,
or
obviously
the
interest
rates
right
that
none
of
us
could
have
predicted
and
controlled
that
and
all
of
a
sudden
we
end
up.
Not
you
know
getting
a
project
like
this
or
or
not
getting
closer
to
our
goals.
G
You
know
arena
goals
that
that
we
have
somehow
leading
on
our
own
and
that
that's
that's
going
to
be
the
case,
and-
and
I
know
that
that
we're
doing
a
lot
of
work
in
that
and
and
clearly
we've
set
up
this
priority
right
on
this
housing
crisis
work
plan,
I'm
curious
from
staff's
perspective.
G
Is
there
something
that
you
know
feedback
you
want
to
give
us
on
hey?
Maybe
we
we
shouldn't
be
focused
on
this
kind
of
work
or
you
know,
or
actually
we
think
that
there's
a
tool
out
there
that
we
haven't
used
or
or
is
there
a
reality
of
hey
look?
We
are,
you
know,
truly
trying
to
turn
over
every
stone
and
right
and
at
the
moment,
certain
things
that
are
just
outside
of
our
capacity
are
in
the
way,
and
I
know
that
this
is
just
the
the
status
report,
so
we're
not
going
to
solve
homeless.
G
Excuse
me
not
going
to
solve
the
affordable
housing
crisis
in
this
conversation,
but
I
am
curious,
as
we
are
accepting
the
status
update,
any
feedback
from
staff
that
would
be
beneficial
to
us
so
that
we
can
continue
to
sort
of
grow
together
and
maybe
move
in
in
the
right
direction.
I
Yeah
thanks
councilmember,
that's
a
good
question.
I
think,
first
again
just
to
mention
the
casa
development
report.
You
know
in
august.
I
think
that
will
be
a
useful
item
and
consideration
for
staffing
council
just
to
kind
of
look.
I
G
J
J
I
mean
I
think,
the
s
the
opportunity
housing
analysis
we
did
as
controversial,
as
that
was
very
much
mirrored
the
turner
center
analysis
of
sb9,
which
is
we're
really
not
going
to
see
much
of
that
type
of
housing
built
as
controversial
as
it
is,
and
this
I'm
sure
many
people
don't
want
it
to
be
built,
but
the
reality
is,
you
probably
won't
see
much
of
it
built.
What
was
really
interesting,
though,
is
about
the
analysis
of
strategic
economics
and
opportunity
housing.
J
Is
it
tested
a
typology
of
the
smaller
apartment,
building
the
kind
of
building
that
was
built
here
in
the
20s
30s
40s,
50s
and
60s
the
you
know,
six
plex
and
eight
plexes
that
started
to
get
into
an
area
of
financial
feasibility
and
also,
to
some
extent,
being
more
naturally
affordable
and
that's
a
housing
product
that
we
really
don't
allow
right
now
in
san
jose.
We
allow
single-family
homes
and
we
allow
medium
and
high-density
development.
There's
not
a
lot
in
between
adus
are
sort
of
the
exceptions.
J
Are
I
agree
with
a
council
member
fully
on
that?
That's,
that's
really.
You
know
they're
much
easier
puts
the
you
know:
housing,
construction
in
the
hands
of
us
of
a
homeowner
and
a
small
developer,
but
kind
of
looking
at
something
that
might
work
in
that
realm
more.
You
know,
and
I
think
that's
something
to
think
about
as
we
as
we
go
forward.
Is
there
you
know?
J
Is
there
an
opportunity
for
smaller
apartment
buildings,
maybe
not
in
urban
villages,
but
in
other
areas
of
the
city
or
in
that
transition
between
single-family
and
urban
villages?
So
it's
something
that's
been
on
my
mind.
I
don't
think
it's
going
to
be.
You
know
it's
going
to
result
in
millions
of
units
frankly,
but
it
is
another
tool,
a
toolbox
that
that
might
be
worth
investigating
at
some
point.
G
J
J
We
need
more
more
things
like
that
that
we
can
point
to
because
the
the
the
type
of
housing
products
that
our
general
plan
embraces
are
very
complicated,
very
expensive
and
very
difficult
to
finance
and
so
and
they're
very
much
impacted
by
cost
of
development.
So
just
thinking
about
like
is
there
something
in
that
more
middle
range
that
that
we
could
sort
of
explore
to
move
forward.
G
Yeah,
no,
that
that
is
helpful.
I
I
I
am
seeing
at
least
in
my
cursory
knowledge
of
sp9
and
sb10
in
combination,
which
I
know
is
sort
of
we're
delayed
on
implementation
of
that,
but
that
you
could
start
building
something
like
what
you're
talking
about
right,
eight
units
or
something
like
that
using
some
of
those
tools,
so
they
may.
Actually
you
know
today.
G
I
agree
based
on
on
what
we've
seen
from
analysis
of
sp9,
it's
not
likely
to
to
develop
much
right
or
have
many
conversions,
but
along
the
lines
of
what
you're
talking
about
once
you
start
going
up
a
little
bit
more,
maybe
eight
you
know
units
or
ten
or
something
like
that.
Then
maybe
we
would
tap
into
this
particular
middle
section
that
we're
not
really
allowing
today,
and
maybe
it
does.
G
You
know,
help
make
us
a
small
dent
the
same
way
the
adus
are
because
I
would
agree-
I
mean
you,
you
have
a
good
analogy
there,
it's
the
small
horse
there,
but
it's
it's
kick
and
butt
right
and
we
we
need
more
projects
that
are
out
there
or
more
type
of
developments.
G
I
should
say
that
are
out
there
that
are
doing
the
same
and
the
the
last
bit,
which
obviously
it's
a
a
unique
challenge
that
we
have
here
in
san
jose
is
that
where
we
want
to
develop
high-rise
in
our
downtown,
we
have
the
high
water
table
in
the
low
ceiling
because
of
planes.
G
So
you
know
that's
also
another
challenge
I
mean
we
would
have
had
40
50
story
buildings
already,
if
that
weren't
the
case
and
and
that
would
make
the
high-rises
much
more
feasible,
right
and
and
and
able
to
be
financed
and
to
be
built.
So
you
know
we,
I
think,
you're.
You
know
we
need
to
understand
our
challenges
as
you
point
out
and
then
understand
where
the
opportunities
are
to
plug
in
and
get
some
type
of.
You
know
housing
at
a
much
faster
rate.
G
I
look
forward
to
the
conversations
that
I
know
will
have
in
a
couple
months
here,
but
I
do
appreciate
your
you
know
your
thoughts,
your
your
thoughts
on
that
you
guys
are
in
the
middle
of
this
work
and
you're,
aware
of
likely
a
lot
more
than
we
are
of
of
what's
working.
What's
not
what's
missing,
so
I
look
forward
to
that
report.
Coming
back
to
the
west.
F
Quick
things
I
michael,
I
so
appreciate
what
you
were
saying
and
maybe
there's
opportunities
with
heights
to
find
in
other
areas
like
the
west
side
that
could
accommodate
more
height
and
finding
sites.
That
would
be
not
as
strongly
objected
to,
as
we
have
seen
some
because
then
you
can
get
more
yields,
but
then
also
one
for
rachel.
If,
if
the
council
were
willing,
rachel
knows
super
well
that
dense
housing
for
affordable
or
otherwise
is
penalized
at
the
state
housing
funds
level,
because
it
costs
more
per
unit.
F
So
it
would
be
very
useful
to
have
prioritization
based
on
putting
housing
where
it's
supposed
to
go
in
in
densities,
where
it's
supposed
to
go,
which
which
isn't
the
case
at
the
moment.
G
B
M
Thank
you
good
afternoon
humanitarian
committee,
we're
back
and
glad
to
be
back
with
you
to
talk
about
our
development
services
process
improvements
and
walk
you
through
the
dashboard
as
it
stands.
Joining
me
in
the
presentation
today
will
be
robert
manfred
and
lisa
joyner,
our
two
deputy
directors
for
planning
and
building.
M
We
also
have
a
host
of
other
staff
on
the
call,
so
we
can
answer
any
in-depth
questions
you
have
as
we
we
go
through
some
of
the
numbers
so
next
slide.
Please
so
just
to
remind
you
of
this
real
eye
test
that
we
presented
last
time,
this
shocking
slide
of
all
these
numbers.
You
know
we
continue
to
really
drive
towards.
M
You
know
a
data
informed
management
style
throughout
pbce,
so
we
can
start
to
really
understand
much
more
in-depth
perspective
of
the
mechanics
of
how
we're
delivering
service
to
all
of
our
customers,
so
we're
tracking
numbers
on
a
wide
spectrum
right
across
the
board.
Generally
speaking,
we're
continuing
to
see
construction
activity
increase
as
we
move
out
of
the
pandemic,
we're
starting
to
see
that
we'll
talk
a
little
bit
more
specifically
on
some
of
the
numbers
and
kind
of
where
we're
seeing
that
and
how
we're
being
impacted.
M
But
today
we're
really
going
to
focus
on
three
areas.
Just
kind
of
give
you
a
sense
of
kind
of
what's
going
on.
The
first
is
going
to
be
planning,
intake
and
sort
of
what's
going
on
from
the
planning
process
and
how
we're
moving
projects
into
the
process,
then
we're
going
to
talk
a
little
bit
more
about
building
plan
review.
M
What's
going
on
sort
of
how
we
review
the
the
permits
that
are
coming
in
for
building
permit
and
then
lastly,
talk
about
where
we're
at
with
inspection,
which
is
really
the
key
indicator
on
actual
construction
activity
on
the
ground
and
what
we're
seeing
from
that
perspective,
then
what
we're
going
to
do
is
we're
going
to
finish
up
by
talking
about
a
little
bit
about
our
staffing.
You
heard
from
michael
kind
of
where
we're
at
in
our
citywide
team.
We
want
to
talk
about
where
we're
at
within
pbc.
M
On
the
development
services
side,
just
to
give
you
that
perspective
and,
in
addition,
we'll
be
talking
a
little
bit
about
some
updates
that
are
coming
from
a
building
perspective
and
what
difference
that's
going
to
make
to
our
work.
So
so,
let's
dive
in
I'm
going
to
hand
it
over
to
robert
to
talk
to
talk
through
the
planning
perspective.
N
Good
afternoon
committee
members,
robert
manfred
deputy
director,
for
planning
two
areas
that
we'll
focus
on
this
afternoon
have
to
do
with
our
planning
permit
center
intake
functions
which
are
applications
waiting
to
be
processed
and
then,
secondly,
a
meal
increase
received
each
month.
N
It's
important
to
know
that
our
planet
plan
and
permit
center
generally
works
on
many
serial
projects,
which
are
projects
that
otherwise
would
not
be
coming
to
you
and
at
city
council,
or
going
to
planning
commission
or
even
to
director's
hearing
the
permit
center,
as
you
can
see,
has
one
supervisor,
seven
planets
and
then
two
planning
technicians.
N
As
of
the
end
of
april,
we
had
an
application
backlog
of
79,
and
actually
it
was
a
new
law
since
we
started
measuring
this
backlog
10
months
ago.
This
also
represents
a
53
percent
decline
over
the
past
six
months.
These
applications,
which
are
historically
submitted
in
person
in
the
payment
center,
actually
transition
to
an
email
box,
email
inbox.
N
We
had
a
renewed
focus
on
intake
backlog
for
customers
for
the
planners,
who
are
cost
recovery,
who
must
actually
work
on
the
application
process.
Conversely,
we've
also
had
and
had
a
decrease
for
email
increase
which
we
received
about
822
by
the
end
of
march.
The
general
email
increase
are
managed
by
the
planning
technicians
in
the
comment
center.
While
the
decline
may
look
positive,
it's
likely
an
outcome
of
both
planning
technician
positions
being
vacant
from
february
to
april.
N
Since
our
response
time
was
slowed.
Due
to
these
vacancies,
we
saw
an
overall
decrease
in
email
traffic,
so
there
were
less
back
and
forth
to
our
initial
replies
for
questions.
I'm
glad
to
report
that
both
plan
and
technician
vacancies
have
now
been
actually
filled
and
so
going
forward.
We
anticipating
more
efficiency
and
an
increase
in
the
performance
that
we've
provided
today
so
hand
over
to
lisa
for
the
next
slide.
L
Thank
you,
robert
good
afternoon,
chair
foley
and
council
members,
lisa
joyner
deputy
director
for
the
building
division.
So,
first
I'm
going
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
our
building
plan
review
team.
It's
no
secret
that
we
have
a
backlog
in
our
regular
plan
review
process
due
to
retirements
and
stock
departures.
We
have
an
over
30
vacancy
rate
with
our
associate
engineers.
L
L
In
an
effort
to
help
our
customers
to
reduce
pressure
on
the
car
interview
team
and
to
streamline
the
review
process,
we
are
working
to
add
more
permit
options
into
the
online
permitting
system,
shifting
appropriate
applications
to
our
over-the-counter
inspection
review
team
and
exploring
the
expansion
and
return
of
our
express
review
operations
on
the
first
floor
in
the
permit
center,
while
reimplementing
express
will
require
resource
shifting
from
the
over-the-counter
and
plan
review
teams.
The
overall
increase
in
review
time
efficiency
should
offset
any
deficit
created
by
the
movement.
L
L
At
the
same
time,
we
also
assigned
more
inspectors
to
the
over-the-counter
plan
review
team
to
assist,
getting
permits
into
the
field
and
under
construction
and
launched
a
virtual
inspection
team
inspection
demands
are
cyclical,
typically
increasing
in
the
summer
and
decreasing
in
the
winter.
The
demand
increase
for
2022
started
a
bit
earlier
than
we're
used
to,
as
you
can
see
by
the
dips.
In
the
available
inspection
chart
with
a
20
vacancy
rate
in
the
inspection
team,
our
resources
are
limited.
L
L
L
M
Thanks
lisa,
so
just
to
close
out,
I
just
want
to
talk
a
little
bit
more
about
kind
of
where
we
stand
with
our
current
staffing.
By
comparison
to
the
last
time
we
reported,
so
you
may
recall,
we
showed
you
a
similar
slide
back
in
february.
We
have
absolutely
made
hiring
a
priority
within
the
department.
It's
been
a
priority
on
an
ongoing
basis,
but
certainly
doing
everything
we
can
to
reduce
any
barriers
that
we
find
in
our
workflows
or
within
the
department
to
actually
getting
people
in
positions.
M
As
you
heard
from
michael
earlier,
we
are
still
experiencing
vacancy
across
the
board
and
I
think
the
important
statistic
to
bear
in
mind
is
that,
although
we're
sort
of
keeping
that
vacancy
rate
low,
we
are
seeing
a
lot
of
turnover
and
so
we're
we're
losing
people
we're
losing
institutional
knowledge
and
memory
and
so
thinking
through
strategies
and
plans
on
how
we
offset
that
in
our
onboarding
process
and
our
ongoing
training
and
development
can
be
critical
to
our
long-term
success
and
then
throughout
building.
M
While
we've
made
some
gains
in
the
permit
center,
with
some
additions
and
and
what
this
chart
doesn't
reflect
is
through
that
period,
we
also
had
considerable
number
of
retirements,
so
just
nature
of
the
the
timing
of
the
year.
So
while
it
looks
like
we
may
have
only
added
one
or
two
positions
here
or
there,
and
the
turnover
again
has
been
probably
slightly
more
significant.
M
But
as
you
can
see,
and
as
lisa
was
mentioning,
you
know,
we
have
significant
challenges
in
plan
review
and
as
we
move
towards
the
end
of
the
year
on
that
code
cycle,
that
that's
something
that
we're
super
cognizant
of
and
keeping
a
very
close
eye
on,
like
lisa,
said
we're
sort
of
actively
working
those
recruitments
to
help
fill
those
positions
and
then,
in
addition,
an
inspection
and
so
finding
qualified
candidates
that
are
a
good
fit
for
our
inspection
process.
M
You
know
continues
to
be
challenging,
and
so
it's
something
that
we're
working
on
thinking
through
our
process
and
then
thinking
through
our
ability
to
onboard
once
we
have
folks
in
that
pipeline
and
that's
all
we
have
for
today
from
the
numbers
perspective.
As
I
said,
we
have
a
whole
host
of
folks
with
us
who
can
help
answer
any
questions
you
have
on
specifics.
B
C
Hi
blair
beekman
here
thanks
for
this
item,
urban
villages
is
what
I
was
trying
to
mention
in
the
previous
item
that
I
think
can
relate
to
this
item
in
a
way
and
that
you
know
the
future
of
urban
village
planning
and
its
needs
for
to
be
a
more
efficient
process,
and
it's
permitting.
C
I
question
that,
and
I
worry
about
that
and
I'm
not
totally
in
favor
of
it,
and
I
hope
that
can
be
very
closely
monitored.
I
don't
think
we
should
go
headlong
into
the
wonders
of
streamlining
urban
planning
permitting
in
the
future.
Basically,
I
think
we
have
to
be
very
cautious
in
how
we
proceed.
That
should
just
be
a
standard,
good
practices.
C
I
think
the
other
item
I
wanted
to
to
mention
is
how
say
the
secret
process
can
be
a
part
of
this
future
development
package
and
thinking
and
we're
making
streamlining
ideas
with
sql
right
now,
a
reminder
that
you
know
as
you
when
you
first
approve
of
a
project
with
sequa,
it's
important
to
have
a
review
process
after
say
six
months
or
a
year
and
really
check
up
on
you
know,
are
the
environmental.
C
What
are
the
environmental
impacts
that
are
happening
from
the
initial
approval
process
and
really
take
note
of
it,
learn
important
lessons
and
and
develop
better
environmental
strategies
for
the
future,
I
mean
that's
the
goal
I
think
of
the
streamlining
process
is
to
really
learn
from
our
mistakes
and
really
find
ways
to
make
important
environmental
concerns
relevant
in
in
the
future
development
of
permitting
and
the
sql
process,
and
if
you
can
do
those
two
things,
that's
that's
growing.
That's
growth
and
that's
good
practices.
Good
luck!
Thank
you.
B
D
D
It
is
a
lot
to
consume
and
so
I'll
probably
take
some
time
to
go
through
the
charts,
offline
and
just
circle
back
to
you
after
the
medium
with
a
few
questions.
But
I
appreciate
that
we
are
sort
of
isolating
our
performance
and
some
of
the
key
drivers
like
vacancy
tracking
progress
over
time
and
then
explicitly
tying
your
update
here
to
what
you're
doing
to
make
sure
that
we
have
measurable
improvement.
So
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you.
D
I
I
think
I
know
we're
we're
continuing
to
flex
this
muscle
and
get
better
and
better
at
it,
and
it's
just
a
constant
learning
experience,
but
I'm
grateful
for
all
the
effort
the
department
is
making
to
go
in
this
kind
of
more
data-driven
direction,
certainly
helpful
from
my
perspective
as
somebody
who's
trying
to
to
support
your
work
and
and
provide
some
basic.
You
know
feedback,
and,
and
so
anyway,
just
thanks
thank
you
for
the
report
and
look
forward
to
follow
up
conversations
offline.
B
Thank
you
also
I'd
like
to
thank
you
for
the
report
as
well,
and
the
detailed
analysis
of
where
you
are
and
where
you're
going,
particularly
as
it
relates
to
the
vacancies.
B
I
know
that's
really
impacting
your
work
and
we
as
council
members
hear
from
our
residents
all
the
time
about
construction
projects
and
how
they're
being
delayed
or
why
are
they
being
delayed?
What's
the
the
cause
so
having
this
analysis
that
this
information
really
arms
us
with
the
information
we
need
to
go
back
to
our
community
and
manage
expectations
a
little
bit
with
them.
So
thank
thank
you
for
the
report.
I
see
no
other
hands
raised
so
let's
vote
carrasco.
B
O
No
problem
john
aiken,
director
of
aviation
today
we're
bringing
you
back
the
copen
issues
with
employees
at
the
airport.
We
did
a
presentation
on
january
24th.
O
O
O
O
We
put
the
meeting
information
out
to
the
union
to
the
tenant
managers,
put
signs
in
the
terminals
to
say
these
are
the
dates.
These
are
the
times.
Come
talk
to
the
airport
staff
about
this
and
we're
continuing
these
this
opportunity
for
them
to
continue
to
talk
with
us
through
the
different
times
the
meetings
with
the
unions.
O
I
just
wanted
to
go
through
their
concerns
and
and
whether
or
not
we
had
a
response
for
them
right
away
their
their
concerns.
Were
the
pandemic's
been
hard
on
their
workers.
They
want
to
see
a
recovery,
focuses
on
sensible
wages
and
good
health
care
and
pension.
We
didn't
have
any
response
to
any
of
those.
That's
normal
union
work
want
regular
meetings
with
their
staff,
so
we
agreed
to
quarterly
meetings
between
the
union
and
the
airport
staff
to
talk
about
issues
before
they
become
larger
issues.
O
We,
we
told
them
that
we'll
keep
them
informed
about
the
schedule.
You
know.
Kobet
has
delayed
a
lot
of
construction
out
at
the
airport,
but
even
more
important
than
that.
We
can't
even
fully
staff
the
concessions
we
have
that
are
open,
and
so
it's
really
an
employee
shortage
issue.
That's
holding
us
back
right
now,
they'd
like
to
see
the
customer
service
training
increase
and
that
had
been
cancelled
during
the
pandemic,
so
staff
is
looking
at
reinstating
the
customer
service
training.
O
The
unions
were
concerned
for
safety
of
their
workers,
and
you
can
see
a
couple
things
there.
Obviously,
passengers
don't
have
to
wear
the
mast
anymore
and
therefore
staff
the
concessionaire
staff
don't
have
to
police
the
mask
wearing.
They
had
questions
about
city
living,
wage
versus
airport
living
wage
versus
their
union
contracts.
We
we
tried
to
explain
the
differences
between
all
three.
O
They
acknowledged
the
worker
shortage.
The
union
did
and
said
they'd
like
to
help
find
additional
workers.
We
were
very
happy
to
hear
that
we
do
some
job
fairs,
so
the
union
is
going
to
try
and
work
with
us
on
rallying
the
troops.
You
know
during
these
job
fairs,
so
we
can
get
more
employees
out
here
when
it
came
to
the
employees
meetings.
O
These
are
kind
of
in
priority
order.
As
far
as
number
of
times
it
was
mentioned,
homeless,
individuals
at
the
airport,
creating
a
security
and
safety
issues.
We've
talked
to
them
about
that.
We
have
more
monitoring
of
the
of
the
situation
the
employees
that
park
in
the
terminal
8
garage
all
of
them
can
park
there,
there's
an
enclosed
walkway
into
the
building.
O
We
have
several
crosswalk
improvements
going
on
right
now
and
again
we
talked
to
them
about
the
sky
bridge
at
terminal,
a
from
the
parking
garage
up
and
over
the
road
into
the
terminal.
A
they
talked
a
little
bit
about
having
to
assist
customers
with
directions
and
stuff.
O
My
opinion,
that's
kind
of
part
of
their
job,
so
in
that
customer
service
training
that
we're
going
to
reignite
they'll
be
talking
about
how
to
engage
with
the
customer
on
on
common
questions
like
where's,
gate,
23
and-
and
I
think
all
employees
out
here,
concession
or
our
employees
should
be
in
the
mindset
to
help
the
customer.
When
they
ask
some
more
employee
meeting
questions
getting
to
work,
the
buses
have
multiple
stops.
O
We
explained
the
bus
route
to
them,
they
were
getting
on
the
wrong
buses,
so
it
was
a
bus
that
would
go
out
to
the
long
term
lot
and
then
come
around
to
the
terminals.
So
we
explained
that
to
them
the
tsa
lines
can
be
really
long.
You
know
when
they're,
when
they
show
up
for
work-
and
this
has
been
going
on
for
years,
all
employees
with
an
employee
badge
can
go
up
the
first
class
lane
and
skip
all
the
way
to
the
front
to
get
to
the
tdc
to
go
through
the
checkpoint
without
waiting.
O
O
They
had
questions
about
the
coven
sick
pay,
the
second
round
of
coven
sick
pay
and
the
law
was
actually
passed
after
the
meetings,
but
it
retroactive
and
we
had
told
them
to
stay
in
contact
with
the
union
that
they
would
be
able
to
tell
them
how
to
work
the
coven
sick
leave.
O
If
they
got
covet
during
that
period,
then
they
had
a
question
on
employee
parking
and
why
do
some
companies
subsidize
it
and
some
don't?
And
we
said
this
is
a
company-specific
decision.
It
might
be
a
great
union
negotiating
point.
You
know
so
maybe
talk
to
your.
If
it's,
if
that's
an
issue,
you
know
talk
to
your
union
about
it
when
they're
negotiating
the
next
contract.
O
Great
opportunity
to
you
know,
throw
that
into
the
mix
and
then
finally,
we
left
the
door
open
unite
here
and
the
staff
will
have
the
quarterly
meetings.
Employees
know
how
to
get
a
hold
of
magdalena.
O
O
B
John,
this
is
really
a
great
report.
It
seems
like
you,
resolved
a
lot
of
issues
that
were
just
little
just
things
festering
with
the
employees
that
they
didn't
understand
how
they
could
speed
go
through
the
speed
line
at
tsa
and
parking
in
other
areas.
It
sounds
like
you
really
had
some
some
good
and
productive
meetings
there.
B
B
C
Thank
you
for
seeing
my
hand,
cindy
chavez
works
really
quickly
like
that,
and
she
doesn't
allow
that.
Usually
thank
you
that
you
saw
it
and
were
able
to
correct
it.
Thank
you
yeah
for
this
item
boy,
I'm.
I
am
going
to
go
out
on
a
bit
of
a
limb
here,
and
so
I
just
to
prepare
yourselves
and
thank
you
for
your
patience.
C
B
C
C
It's
given
really
important
lessons
that
I
feel
are
vital
to
morale
and
good
spirits,
and
currently
you
know,
I
feel,
there's
issues
of
you
know
the
future
of
biometric
camera
use
at
the
airport
and
the
use
of
aerosol
vaccines
for
covid
that
are
used
more
at
the
airport
that
aren't
so
much
in
regular
public
that
I
think
we
can
learn
important
lessons
from
and,
I
think,
should
be
kind
of
an
idea.
We
can
learn
to
talk
about
more
openly
like
how
biometric
camera
use.
C
You
know
in
this
day
and
age
with
open
public
policies
and
accountability
can
be
an
easier
subject
to
talk
about
and
navigate
and
make
clear
for
all
of
us.
So
good
luck,
how
we
can
do
that
and
and
with
the
aerosol
vaccine
process.
Also,
it's
subject
matter
that
that
should
be
talked
about
in
public
comment.
Time
is
a
good
place
to
be
allowed
to
be
able
to
do
that,
so
we
can
feel
easier
to
talk
about
these
subjects
in
the
future.
More
clearly,
thanks
a
lot
for
your
time.
B
Thank
you.
Turning
to
the
oh,
I'm
sorry,
there's
one
more
public
speaker,
louise
auerhan.
A
Thank
you,
sarah
louise
auerhan
with
working
partnerships,
and
thank
you
for
this
report.
I'm
glad
to
hear
that
there
has
been
some
progress.
There's
been
outreach
and
conversations
with
at
least
one
of
the
unions
and
with
workers.
I
know
that
there
was
some
some
struggles
to
get
that
far,
so
I'm
glad
to
see
that
there
is
dialogue
and
progress
being
made.
A
I
think
there's
a
lot
more
to
be
done
to
restore
worker
morale
and
a
sense
of
I
think,
respect
and
ability
to
maintain
careers
at
the
airport.
So
I'd
encourage
you
to
continue
doing
this.
I
think
the
quarterly
meetings
will
be
a
big
help.
Maybe
quarterly
reports
to
this
committee
could
be
useful
as
well,
and
I'd
also
like
to
point
out
that
there
is
more
than
one
union
at
the
san
jose
airport.
There's
unite
here,
usw
the
teamsters,
I
believe,
a
couple
others.
A
I
also
think
there
are
some
deeper
issues
when
the
workers
asked
about
the
living
wage.
I
suspect
they
were
not
looking
for
an
explanation
of
why
their
wage
is
lower
than
people
in
other
parts
of
the
city,
but
ways
that
their
wage
could
not
be
so
low
right
now.
Some
of
them
make
barely
above
living
wage
and
that
may
well
be
contributing
to
the
issues
with
hiring
and
recruitment.
B
A
L
B
C
Hi,
where
beekman
here
thanks
I've
kind
of
made
it
regular
that
I
think
you
know
in
the
past
few
months
that
all
sides,
I
think,
can
really
work
towards
negotiation
and
peace
in
the
future
of
the
ukraine
area
and
what's
interesting
in
saying
these
words,
you
know
such
an
international
issue
is
that
it
can
be
brought
down
to
the
level
of
the
work
we
do
at
the
local
level
at
this
time
of
reimagine
health
and
human
services,
openness
and
accountability
practices,
I
think,
can
be
really
important
examples
that
I
mean
the
future
of
the
community
is
just
vital
to
the
future
of
ukraine.
C
I
mean
all
sides
can
agree
to
that.
I
think
why
not
we
start
working
on
those
concepts
now
that
we
can
use
our
good
local
examples
here
that
can
really
be
of
help
and
service
to
how
they're
going
to
have
to
rebuild
ukraine
eventually
and
just
good
luck
in
in
those
good
efforts
and
and
to
also
speak
to
the
efforts
of
just
overall
building
good
international
relations.
