View agenda at https://sanjose.legistar.com/View.ashx?M=A&ID=711310&GUID=8EC15D80-D5A9-4EFA-B30E-D1BC37B860F6
A
C
C
It
was
held
in
city
council
chambers,
which
was
a
good
innovation,
I,
think
it
made
room
for
everybody
and
then
on
Sunday
Google
held
what
they
call
a
pop
up,
but
it
was
really
quite
an
elaborate
community
exposure
event
on
arena
green,
where
they
shared
their
plans
and
what
they're
calling
a
mixed-use
framework
for
the
project
that
they're
contemplating
around
the
dura
don
station
area,
and
it
was
an
extremely
peaceful
and
productive
event
with
very
well
attended.
Councilmember
Perales
was
there
well
attended
and
no
disruptions.
It
was
excellent,
downtown
developments.
C
We
are
seeing
some
awesome
buildings
that
have
been
vacant
and
partially
vacant
for
many
years
growing
and
filling
up
rapidly
in
River.
Park
is
one
of
those
with
sage
in
tact
adding
to
its
lease.
Kohi
city
doubled
its
pace
from
a
park,
one
river
park
as
well
and
octa,
and
this
is
a
guest
blog
post
from
the
Downtown
Association,
where
they
also
provide
a
little
update
on
some
of
the
products,
the
projects
that
are
going
on
in
terms
of
actual
construction,
as
well
as
leasing
activities.
C
We're
really
excited
to
be
able
to
share
not
only
our
regular
update
report
on
construction
projects
in
the
pipeline
throughout
San
Jose,
but
an
interactive
map.
Now
that
will
allow
anybody
using
it
a
much
deeper
dive
into
every
kind
of
construction,
every
phase
of
construction
and
development
with
a
lot
of
details,
because
it's
interactive,
so
you
can
dive
down,
you
could
pull
out.
You
can
narrow
down
to
just
a
neighborhood
and
we're
really
excited
to
have
this
tool
available.
We
think
it's
going
to
be
super
useful
Oh.
B
C
Did
a
little
visit
to
a
new,
a
new
member
of
the
real
estate
family
in
San
Jose,
which
is
web
core?
They
opened
their
San
Jose
office
last
year
in
June,
and
now
they
have
a
new
general
manager
of
the
office
jeet.
Who
is
a
veteran
of
web
core
and
he's?
Even
he
worked
on
the
samsung
project.
He
worked
on
projects
for
San,
Jose
State
with
web
core
and
on
axis
and
88.
So
he
knows
he
knows
San
Jose.
C
We
really
really
well
and
he's
excited
about
the
prospects
for
downtown
development
and
San
Jose
development
in
general
he's
seeing
even
if
there's
a
little
recession
setting
in
people,
many
companies
have
been
waiting
for
costs
to
go
down,
make
their
commitments
to
building
some
new
space
or
leasing
new
space.
So
that's
that's
the
good
news.
C
For
today
we
were
excited
to
have
the
week
company,
which
formerly
known
as
we
work
unveil
the
backyard
which
is
taking
up
the
parking
lot
off
of
fountain
vallye
and
most
of
Alli
and
most
of
the
alley
itself
for
an
amazing.
If
you
haven't
been
there,
you
need
to
go.
It
is
a
backyard.
It's
got!
Lots
of
activities-
it's
got,
events
scheduled
in
there
by
the
Downtown
Association
and
there's
places
to
hang
out.
There's
greenery,
there's
music.
So
it's
a
it's
a
lovely
place.
C
That's
you
might
even
not
see
it
on
that
big
bow
relief,
but
there's
a
cute
little
image
of
it,
and
then
the
Children's
Discovery
Museum
was
able
to
reopen
a
children's
art
studio
that
had
been
completely
renovated
and
reconditioned
and
rethought
thanks
to
a
grant
from
the
good
tidings
Foundation
and
the
Leroy
Nieman
and
Janet
Fern
Nieman
foundations.
So,
though,
that
was
opened
with
a
whole
host
of
ten
year
olds
making
making
art
like
nobody's
business,
it
was
a
really
fun
event
and
that's
it
besides.
A
A
couple
comments
I
think
this
one's
an
exciting
citing
newsletter,
not
that
they're
all
not
pretty
exciting.
This
one
has
a
lot
of
a
lot
of
exciting
information
and
updates,
I
think
just
kind
of
highlighting
things
going
on
into
this.
You
know
if
the
fastest-growing
5,000
listener
just
to
see
the
number
of
companies
coming
from
San,
Jose
and
I
was
able
to
go
to
the
the
Google
meeting.
The
SAG
Rob.
Excuse
me
the
Google
meeting
after
the
stag
meeting
this
weekend,
and
it
was
a
really
good
turnout
great
day.
A
That
was
was
very
positive
and
then
I'll
just
mention
that
for
those
that
haven't
made
it
out
to
backyard,
this
is
happening
in
Fountain
alley
which,
without
a
doubt,
Fontenelle
had
the
highest
concentration
of
criminal
activity
in
our
downtown
core
for
years
and
and
so
they've
turned
this
one
section
of
fountain
alley
there
into
this
amazing
family-friendly
opportunity.
Most
events,
97%
are
all
free.
A
B
F
F
Well
we're
going
to
tie
this
to
something
called
the
assessment
of
fair
housing,
really
it's
our
duty
as
a
city
that
request
that
accepts
federal
funds
for
us
to
affirmatively,
further
fair
housing,
choice
and
options
in
our
market,
and
so
that's
why
the
rule
is
called
affirmatively
furthering
fair
housing
and,
under
that
guidance,
what
we
have
been
asked
to
do
and
what
we
are
doing
kind
of
of
our
own
volition,
we'll
explain
more
is
a
former
a
formal
plan
around
that
which
is
called
the
assessment
of
fair
housing.
The
assessment
of
fair
housing
or
afh.
F
Is
it's
not
your
ordinary
plan?
It's
a
plan
that
looks
at
data
and
has
a
lot
of
community
participation
to
examine
barriers
to
fair
housing
in
the
market,
but
also
examine
not
just
economic
challenges
for
people
in
the
market,
but
also
kind
of
how
that
lays
out
spatially
and
how
that
lays
out
racially.
F
What
resources
that
they
do
have.
So
it's
going
to
look
at
patterns
of
integration
and
segregation
and
and
again
look
at
areas
of
concentration
and
make
sure
to
assess
whether
everybody
has
access
to
opportunity
and
then
figure
out.
If
there
are
areas
that
disproportionately
need
certain
things
in
order
to
access
housing
and
then
we
as
a
city,
are
going
to
get
to
determine
what
are
our
goals
to
overcome
some
of
these
issues.
F
F
So
briefly,
fair
housing
is
governed
by
several
different
layers
of
law.
They
are
both
federal
and
state
and
the
first.
This
is
just
a
quick
overview.
California
has
something
called
the
Unruh
Civil
Rights
Act,
which
actually
preceded
the
Federal
Fair
Housing
Act
by
almost
10
years
from
nine
years
and
they're
similar,
but
they
have
different
protected
classes
and
so
Unruh
is.
F
It
specifically
outlaws
discrimination
based
on
sex,
race,
color,
religion,
ancestry,
national
origin,
disability,
medical
condition
and
now
also
genetic
information,
marital
status
and
sexual
orientation.
So
California
actually
goes
beyond
where
the
federal
government
is
on
fair
housing,
not
surprisingly,
potentially,
while
the
Federal
Fair
Housing
Act
again
is
based
on
trying
to
protect
people
from
discrimination
and
harassment
when
they
are
trying
to
rent
or
buy
a
home
or
get
a
mortgage.
F
California
is
still
going
to
do
it.
So
every
city
in
California
that
creates
a
housing
element,
is
going
to
be
subject
to
this
2018
law.
That
says,
you
still
have
to
do
this:
fair
housing,
analysis
and
kind
of
community
analysis
of
needs
for
your
future
housing
element
purposes
and
as
a
way
to
undergird
all
these
other
programs
that
you
are
running
so
it
California
stepped
in
where
the
government
was
backing
off.
F
F
So
this
is
a
this
is
a
map
of
FHA
insured
redlining
from
the
1930s,
the
color,
the
color
key
to
the
left
in
the
middle
is
a
little
hard
to
read,
but
basically
green.
It
green
means
go,
and
so,
when
you
see
green
to
the
middle
left,
that's
pretty
much
the
Rose
Garden.
That
means
that's
an
excellent
credit
risk
for
the
underwriter,
meaning
that
there
were
very
few
people
of
color
in
the
Rose
Garden
at
that
time,
and
you
can
see
Willow
Glen
in
the
lower
area.
F
F
This
map
is
a
map
produced
by
policy
link,
which
is
an
an
organization
based
in
Oakland
that
focuses
on
equity
as
a
way
to
integrate
into
business
practices
and
communities
practices
in
order
to
make
communities
successful.
So
they've
come
up
with
something
called
the
equity
atlas,
which
puts
together
data
from
different
sources.
This
map
is
from
2015
and
I.
Think
this
is
census.
Data
is
that
right,
yeah,
it
is
American
Community
Survey
data
with
the
US
Census
and
the
colors
denote
differences
in
how
white
areas
are
so
again.
F
You
can
see
that
there
are
areas
that
are
racially
different
today.
Have
a
super
integrated
pattern
of
where
different
races
live
today
that
there
are
still
areas
of
concentration,
so
you
can
see
the
dominant
kind
of
northwest-southeast
line
being
Monterey
Road
Monterey
Highway
and
that
they
lighter
the
color,
the
more
the
percent.
It's
the
lower
the
percent
population
of
white
residents,
and
so
the
bottom
area,
I
think
council,
McAmis
Almaden
can
confirm
right
and
Blossom
Hill.
Those
areas
that
are
like
the
deepest
purple
areas
have
the
highest
proportion
of
white
residents.
F
So
again,
San
Jose
is
continues
to
have
concentrations
of
different
types
of
people
and
different
types
of
areas,
so
the
impacts
continue
here
are
just
a
few
data
points
that
talk
about
why
this
matters
it
actually
ends
up
codifying
some
differences
in
the
community
as
to
where
what
people
have
in
the
way
of
opportunities.
The
first
data
point
actually
was
come
out
recently
that
black
residents
are
only
three
percent
of
our
population.
F
But
if
you
look
at
the
homeless
population
here
they
are
19
percent
of
our
local
homeless
population,
so
it's
a
very
desperately
represented
group
and
that
homeowner
Shea
home
ownership
rates
continue
to
differ
widely
by
race.
White
and
Asian.
Households
are
in
the
60%
penetration
rate
for
home
ownership,
but
Latino
households
only
39%
black
households
37%
when
you
look
at
housing
cost
burden
or
how
much
people
pay
for
their
either
their
homes
or
their
apartments.
F
Sixty
percent
of
Latino
households
pay
more
than
the
standard
and
that's
the
highest
proportion
for
other
race
groups.
They're
also
most
likely
to
live
near
environmental
hazards.
So,
and
why
do
we
care?
Because
there
are
lots
of
things
that
get
affected
depending
on
where
you
live,
as
we
know,
educational
outcomes
and
quality,
but
also
environmental
health
can
be
really
affected
by
where
you
live
and
people's
access
to
opportunities.
Therefore,
thank
you
and
so
now
I'm
going
to
turn
it
over
to
Adam.
G
Thanks
Kristen
good
afternoon,
council
members,
so
I
wanted
to
talk
a
little
bit
about.
Why
is
this
an
important
plan?
Kristen
mentioned
it
a
little
bit
that
this
is.
This
is
kind
of
a
game-changing
plan,
it's
much
more
robust
than
the
previous,
affordable.
Sorry,
fair
housing
plans
that
we've
worked
on.
G
One
of
the
things
that's
gonna
do
is
help
set
our
priorities
for
the
consolidated
plan
and
how
we
spend
our
federal
dollars,
which
we'll
hear
more
about
in
the
next
item.
It'll
also
influence
how
our
next
housing
element
comes
together.
So
as
an
example,
as
you
may
recall,
with
a
housing
element,
the
state
gives
us
an
allocation.
Let's
say
35,000
housing
units
that
we
need
to
accommodate.
G
It'll
also
help
us
look
at
both
the
data
and
community
input
in
a
more
in
a
stronger
way
and
help
us
look
at
the
root
causes
of
concentrated
poverty.
Why
are
there
certain
areas
in
the
city
that
have
very
concentrated
poverty
and
others
that
do
not,
and
so
it'll
really
be
a
very
structured
and
rigorous
way
to
look
at
that
and
understand
that
a
little
bit
better,
which
will
in
turn
I
think
build
on
some
of
the
discussions
that
councils
been
having
around
equity
in
the
budget.
C
G
Now
so,
this
plan
will
really
provide
a
lot
of
structure
and
information
to
help
structure
that
discussion
and
help
the
city
understand
specific
ways
that
we
can
start
to
think
about
distributing
resources
and
investing
in
different
locations
of
the
city
and
then
finally,
and
as
an
examples
of
that
might
be.
Where
would
where
would
we
invest
in
affordable
housing
where,
where
new
libraries
be
located,
where
would
other
amenities
be
located,
and
how
would
those
decisions
be
influenced
versus
just
spacial,
equal
distribution
by
space.
G
So
we've
been
working
with
the
office
of
supportive
housing
at
the
county,
they've
been
spearheading
the
search
for
for
our
consultants
and
they'll
be
going
before
the
Board
of
Supervisors
tomorrow
and,
if
all
goes
well,
we'll
have
two
consultants,
one
to
help
with
our
afh,
our
assessment
of
fair
housing
and
another
to
help
with
the
consolidated
plan
which
again
you'll
hear
about
in
the
next
item.
That's
been
a
partnership
with
the
county,
the
Housing
Authority
in
all
of
the
cities
in
this
county,
except
for
Milpitas
they're,
doing
they're
on
a
different
schedule
than
us.
G
The
fh
is
a
national
expert.
They
work
they're
a
technical
assistance
provider
for
HUD,
so
they've
been
doing
this
around
the
country
they're
based
in
Washington
DC.
They
are
working
on
the
Contra
Costa
County
afh.
They
completed
the
Los
Angeles
City
and
County
afh,
and
they
worked
on
the
Philadelphia
New
Orleans
AF
h's,
which
were
held
up
as
the
good
examples
at
the
very
beginning
of
the
program
when
it
first
started.
So
we're
really
excited
to
be
working
again.
Assuming
that
that
the
board
agrees,
we're
really
excited
at
the
opportunity
to
work
with
this
consultant.
G
As
they'll
bring
a
level
of
rigor,
a
level
of
they'll
be
able
to
not
only
help
us
gather
data
structure,
our
community
process,
but
they'll
also
be
able
to
look
at
our
policies
and
give
us
pointers
on.
How
can
we
make
that
stronger
and
and
and
how
can
we
further
affirm
fair
housing
with
what
we
already
had
done?
G
G
And
just
to
drill-down
it
for
a
moment
on
what
we
mean
by
stakeholder
outreach
and
robust
outreach
is
really
a
key
part
of
a
good
afh.
And
so
what
that
looks
like
is
you
know
the
the
recommendation
or
the
suggestion
is
to
do
it
regionally,
which
we
are
doing
so
just
just
by
the
fact
that
we're
collaborating
with
our
neighbors
is
a
good
thing.
G
So
this
is
all
gonna
begin
with
the
selection
of
the
consultant,
though
they'll
dive
right
in
and
look
at
all
the
data
and
gather
up
all
of
our
plans
and
start
to
get
a
feel
for
where
we're
at
they'll
do
extensive
outreach
and
the
staff
will
come
back
to
committees
and
Commission
in
early
2020
to
Council
in
April
of
next
year,
and
this
will
all
culminate
in
a
submission
to
HUD
in
May,
which
is
our
our
consolidated
plan,
which
is
our
next
item.
So
again.
B
Thank
you,
I,
it's
intriguing,
I,
don't
know,
I,
don't
know
what
suggestions
will
come
out
of
this.
It's
a
it's
a
very
intriguing
topic,
I,
I,
I
kind
of
wonder.
If
we're
for
studying
a
lot
and
not
just
doing
things,
you
know
sometimes
I
think
we
over
study,
stuff
and
I'd.
Rather
us
just
build
housing,
but
but
but
I,
but
for
like
example,
if
we
come
up
according
to
your
maps,
there's
not
a
lot
of
you
know.
Obviously,
district
3
has
a
lot
of
housing
for.
B
You
know:
we've
opened
lots
of
things
like
the
Plaza
Hotel,
like
that,
the
2nd
Street
thing
and
a
lot
of
things
on
homelessness
and
things
like
that,
and
so
with
that.
Your
study
recommend
that
no
more
be
built
there
or
something,
even
if
we
had
a
good
deal
on
a
piece
of
land
or
I'm,
not
sure
I'm,
not
sure
what
we're
gonna
use.
The
study
for,
and
you
know
what
we
hope
to
get
out
of
it.
I
don't
want
to
block
projects
from
high.
E
Necessarily
think
this
would
block
specific
projects
or
in
any
way,
delay
all
that
is
happening
in
the
housing
department
in
terms
of
our
production.
But
what
I
think
this
the
afh
plan
does
is
really
two
things,
one
it's
required
by
the
state,
but
secondly-
and
more
importantly,
is
it
will
help
us
make
data
informed
decisions
on
a
whole
host
of
things,
not
just
where
we
put
housing,
but,
as
Adam
mentioned,
it
could
inform
things
throughout
our
city
around
our
equity
and
our
work
with
care.
E
F
F
To
get
access
to
that
and
then
say
you
know
like
ask
for
your
medical
records
and
then
say:
oh,
you
seem
to
have
proclivity
for
X
kind
of
disease
or
you
seem
to
have
african-american.
You
know
history,
it's
who
you
and
therefore
bla
bla
like
there
are
just
things
off-limits
to
discriminate
on
the
basis
of,
and
that's
one
of
them.
Apparently,
okay,.
B
G
G
Let's
say
there
was
it
wasn't
as
bureaucratic
as
five
years
ago,
so
they
offered
to
be
the
lead
agency
so
that
it's
kind
of
started
that
way
and
then
really
it
was
just
each
city
that
was
on
the
same
schedule,
we're
all
the
same
schedule
to
do
the
plan
so
other
than
Milpitas.
So
each
city
basically
just
chose
a
staff
member
who's
working
on
on
these
issues
to
sit
on
the
panel
to
help
vet
out
the
consultants.
F
B
G
B
H
This
is
a
city
we've
put
that
dispersion
policy
on
hold
and
there
are
some
parts
of
the
city
that
have
built
more
affordable
housing
and
other
services
than
others,
and
so
you
know
it
should
be
equitable
and
I
wanted
to
see
if
the
information
that
we
glean
from
this
process
can
be
incorporated
into
the
new
dispersion
policy,
how
does
that
work?
Timing,
wise.
E
G
Consultants
will,
you
know,
they'll,
be
doing
a
lot
of
data
analysis,
basically
starting
in
a
few
weeks,
and
they
have
offered
to
look
at
our
policies
and
help
us
think
through
the
policies
as
they're
working
on
the
afh.
So
we
very
well
could
take
them
up
on
that
offer
and
ask
them
to
look
at
the
draft
dispersion
policy
and
the
analysis
associated
with
it.
Because
housing
is
one
piece,
there's
other
pieces,
but
they
could
definitely
weigh
in
even
if
the
afh
isn't
complete
by
the
time
it
comes
to
council.
The.
H
A
I
know
that
it
got
delayed
a
little
bit
so
there's
an
opportunity
for
some
time
and
I'd
love
to
see
that
housing
have
a
seat
at
that
table
and
that
describe
at
least
I
understand
it
right
consultants
doing
the
work.
It's
not
going
to
be
complete,
but
what
you
have
presented
today
and
just
kind
of
describing
that
platform
and
what
they
will
be
working
on
I
think
is
a
great
opportunity
at
our
study
session,
to
introduce
it
to
the
full
council.
A
So
I'd
love
that
to
be
one
place
where
the
council
gets
to
see
at
least
a
little
bit
of
this.
The
second
thing
and
I'll
put
this
into
a
motion:
yeah
I'll
put
it
into
motion.
The
second
thing
I
would
love
to
do
would
be
to
would
be
to
direct
the
the
consultants
to
look
at
our
dispersion
policy,
and
you
know:
I've
been
pushing
housing
department
and
Jackie
to
come
back
right
in
December.
A
I
still
want
that
to
happen,
but
not
at
the
you
know
the
cost
of
good
work
and
if
we
could
align
this
better
with
this
work
and
if
the
consultants
think
that
yeah,
we
can
actually
give
you
some
feedback
on
your
dispersion
policy.
But
we
don't
think
that
we
would
be
ready
with
that
until
January
February
look,
our
dispersion
policy
has
been
kind
of
useless
for
the
last
couple
decades.
So
there's
no
point
in
saying:
oh:
let's:
no,
let's
try
to
get
it
done
in
December
if
we
think
it
could
be
better.
A
Two
months
later,
so
you
know
I
yeah.
So
the
motion
will
be
to
accept
this
report,
but
then
to
have
you
incorporate
yourselves
and
this
presentation
into
the
study
session
of
coming
on
on
equity
and
to
direct
the
consultant
to
work
on
our
providing
feedback
prior
to
our
dispersion
policy.
Thank
you
and
so
I.
Just
I
wanted
to
you
know.
I
think
compliment
you
for
again
for
putting
this
together.
I
think
that
it's
it's!
You
know
things
that
we
have
spoken
about,
and
you
know
when
you
look
at
sort
of
just
the
heat
map
right.
A
It
tells
the
tale
of
two
cities
that
we
all
sort
of
have
heard
of
many
different
lights,
but
you
see
sort
of
where
those
those
lines
are
drawn.
I
wasn't
aware
of
some
of
this
how
the
red
lining
of
the
map.
So
this
is
a
really
interesting
map
and
obviously
again
it
makes
complete
common
sense
right
when
you
look
at
it
there,
and
then
you
tie
it
up
to
what
some
of
these
neighborhoods
still
look
like
today.
A
You
know
these
are
again
no-brainers
when
you
go.
Oh
okay,
yeah
that
there's
there's
definitely
a
correlation
there
in
how
the
city
has
built
out
and
how
policy
more
important
right.
How
policy
law
has
helped
shape
that
and
just
for
I
think
you
know
to
our
chairs
concerns.
I
tell
my
neighbors
this
all
the
time
he
had
an
opportunity.
Johnny
had
an
opportunity
to
sit
in
on
some
pretty
upset
residents
recently
with
an
affordable
housing
project
and
I.
A
Tell
my
neighbors
all
the
time
that
our
community
of
district
3
has
just
about
half
of
the
population
of
homeless
that
the
whole
city
has
so
we're
nowhere
near
close
to
building
out
right,
permanent,
supportive
housing
or
affordable
housing
in
district
3.
No
way
right,
especially
if
we're
talking
about
being
equitable
but
I,
agree
with
my
residents
when
they
say
yeah.
But
why
is
it
that
we
don't
see
any
of
these
projects
happening
in
places?
Like
Willow
Glen
or
the
Rose
Garden
actually
comes
up
right
a
lot
of
times.
A
That
would
have
tended
to
be
welcoming
or
more
receptive
to
the
affordable
housing
projects,
but
they're
now
very
wise
to
the
the
lack
of
dispersion,
inequitable,
dispersion
and
they're
starting
to
stand
up
for
themselves
and
say:
look
until
we
start
seeing
this
better
dispersed
more
equitably
throughout
the
rest
of
the
city
and
I,
wouldn't
even
say
just
San
Jose
right.
They
also
recognize
throughout
the
county
in
the
region.
But
we
have
an
opportunity
on
this.
One
I
tell
them.
A
You
know:
I
personally
have
an
opportunity
to
help
clean
house
in
my
own
district
and
then
in
our
own
city
right,
and
we
could
lead
by
example
by
doing
that.
I
can't
necessarily
change
all
the
policies
in
Cupertino
and
Santa
Clara
and
Mountain
View
right,
I
can't
go
in
there,
but
what
we
can
do
and
with
opportunities
that
the
state
will
provide.
We
can
set
a
better
example
on
how
it
should
be
done.
We
can
use
some
of
the
the
policies
that
the
state
is
passing
down
to
do
better
here
in
San,
Jose
and
I.
A
B
D
Clearly
we
have
things
we
need
to
resolve
in
the
city
and
and
I
think
equity
is
an
issue
and
we're
trying
to
tackle
it.
Although
there's
still
a
lot
more
to
do,
I
guess
I
just
want
to
say
that
I'm
more
interested
in
what
we
can
do
in
the
here
and
now
and
kind
of
getting
to
a
place
of
mackerel
treatment
rather
than
equitable
outcomes,
necessarily
because
I
think
it's
very
tough
from
a
sage
perspective.
D
D
There
are
so
many
things
with
redlining
and
other
things
that
create
this
this
cycle,
but
they
they
were
set
in
motion
from
HUD
from
the
federal
laws
from
state
law
and
trying
to
I
guess
counteract
all
those
effects
from
the
vantage
point
of
a
city,
given
the
limited
tools
that
we
have
is
a
very
tall
order,
so
I.
So
we
need
to
do
what
we
can
within
the
limits
of
the
city
with
the
but
understanding
that
the
history
of
this
goes
back.
D
H
So
I
also
had
something
to
add
to
my
earlier
comments
about
the
equity
session.
So
you
can
mention
in
your
presentation
that
there
are
broader
aspects
beyond
housing
that
we're
going
to
be
included
in
this
study,
such
as
code
enforcement
and
parks
and
some
other
things
if,
if
any
of
that
has
been
completed
by
the
equity
study
session,
great,
probably
not
just
looking
at
the
timeline,
but
if
not
I
think
it's
still
important
to
point
that
out
when
our
equity
study
session
comes
in
because,
for
example,
code
enforcement
is
complaint
base
right.
H
A
You,
Jerry
and
I
think
just
in
response
to
councillors
comments,
I,
don't
see
anywhere
in
here
and
I,
don't
know,
maybe
staff
can
confirm.
There's
no
interest
in
having
some
sort
of
set
amount
of
you
know.
I,
don't
know
diversity
throughout
the
city
or
the
region.
There's
no
goals
to
have.
You
know
anything
like
that.
What
was
described
by
councillor?
Would
you
nothing
right?
So
one.
G
A
Choose
not
to
I
just
kind
of
wanted
to
confirm
that,
because
I
didn't
want
there
to
be
confusion
in
regards
to
sort
of
what
the
outcomes
are
nobody's.
Looking
for
the
outcome,
including
myself,
I,
think
what
it
is
is
it's
recognizing,
though,
the
realities
of
why,
for
instance,
communities
that
have
concentrated
of
color
that
now
over
time
have
been
the
area
that
people
may
say
hey
well.
A
This
is
where
people
like
to
be
or
want
to
be,
but
if
you
actually
dive
back
deep
enough
to
what
was
pointed
out
in
the
in
the
one
slide
of
the
Northside
neighborhood
individuals
of
color
may
not
have
gone
there
because
they
all
wanted
to
be
together.
They
may
have
gone
there,
because
everywhere
else
they
went,
they
were
getting
denied
and
that's
the
reality
right,
and
so
it's
about
that
opportunity,
which
the
answer.
Thank
you
for
that
answer.
A
It's
about
recognizing
that
those
opportunities
put
us
all
in
two
different
segregated
areas,
and
that
if
we
were
to
eliminate
those
sort
of
barriers
and
recognize
and
put
different
opportunities
out
and
more
equitable
opportunities
that
we
probably
would
naturally
just
see
better
diversity
and
it
wouldn't
be
because
we
mandated
it,
it
would
be
because
we
created
better
opportunity
and
not
everybody
of
one.
You
know
identity.
What
others
raised.
Religion,
creed
doesn't
matter
right,
it's
only
interested
in
being
in
one
place
right.
People
are
attracted
to
neighborhoods
or
areas
whatever
it
is.
A
They
might
want
to
be
and
should
have
opportunities
to
go
into
different
areas
of
cities,
and
so
it's
unfortunate
right
that,
as
we
have
seen
a
lot
of
these
policies
again,
maybe
not
necessarily
hours,
but
we
adopted
through,
though
what
the
federal
government
put
in
place,
but
then
created
our
own
as
well
created
some
of
this.
You
know
these
pockets
of
individuals
in
these
pockets
of
of
poverty
and
pockets
of
less
access
or
again
pointing
back
to
what
we
were
talking
about
in
the
equity
discussions
around
the
budget.
A
How
just
the
city
even
today
responds
to
things
that
maybe
only
noticed,
or
you
only
can
report
if
you
have
some
form
of
technology
or
if
you
speak,
English,
right
and
or
at
least
right,
it's
very
difficult
if
you
don't
and-
and
we
see
what
the
results
of
that
might
be,
and
so
this
is
about
one
part
of
it
again,
but
but
a
very
exciting,
an
important
part
of
it.
So,
thanks.
B
Well,
I
think
that
both
of
you
are
a
little
bit
right,
but
but
but
because
I
think
that
some
of
the
Asian
community,
at
least
in
my
district
likes
to
live
next
to
each
other.
But
but
I
could
definitely
do
it's
absolutely
clear
evidence
of
other
things
that
happened
in
our
history
as
well.
The
one
thing
that
I
think
can
help
us
beyond
studying
is
for
the
city
itself
to
be
able
to
stop
by
units.
B
We
focus
a
lot
on
developing
units
and
I've
approved
a
unit.
I
often
get
criticized
for
not
not
building
enough
in
my
district,
but
I
proved
the
unit
like
two
years
ago
for
for
low-income
housing
and
we're
still
not
building
it
and
and
like
in
the
VTA
law.
We've
had
three
meetings
on
a
VTA
lot
in
my
district
Blossom
Hill
and
Road,
and
blossom
and
Snell
to
build
300
units.
B
You
know,
and
and
I'm
all
in
favor
of
that,
but
it
takes
years
and
years
and
years
to
do
these
things
and
what
I've
been
harping
on
your
department,
quite
frankly,
is
to
be
able
to
buy
things
that
are
just
about
to
be
finished
or
or
about
to
be
or
are
finished
and
I.
Think
that
would
be
a
fantastic
way
of
spreading
equity
because
you
know
you're
not
gonna,
be
fighting
neighborhoods.
These
buildings
have
already
been
built:
you're,
not
gonna,
fight
neighborhoods,
about
hey
who's
going
in
these
buildings.
They
exist.
B
We
just
buy
them
and
put
people
in
them
like,
for
example,
we're
building
hundreds,
if
not
thousands,
of
units
in
district
two
next
to
the
Costco
shopping
center,
you
know
Costco
and
the
that
whole
thing
that
they
everybody
said
it
was
gonna,
be
sitting
next
sent
on
a
row
whatever,
but
there's
there's
thousands
of
units
that
are
empty,
a
there's,
the
huge
signs
that
say
vacant.
Why
can't
we
buy
an
entire
building
there
vacant?
B
You
know.
So
it's
it's
a
real
frustration
for
me.
It's
it's
the
fastest
way
to
get
your
equity
out
of
the
way
you're
gonna.
Take.
Take
a
home
as
a
people
that
are
lower
income,
stick
them
right
where
all
the
higher
income
people
are
immediately
and
and
and
and
that's
what
I'm
hoping
that
we
can
do
that.
It's
it's
fast!
It's
cheap!
It's
cheaper
than
your
guys
is
building
them
for
sure,
and
it
will
get
us
the.
We
won't
be
keeping
vacant
apartments
everywhere.
Bb
W,
you
know
housing
people!
Yes,
please
I,
would
love
that!
B
F
F
We
are
all
leveraging
each
other's
subsidies
and
so
to
acquire
an
apartment.
Building
that's
already
built
would
mean
that
there
were
some
subsidies
not
available
to
leverage
our
money,
and
so,
for
instance,
you
could
never
do
a
9%
housing
tax
credit
project
to
get
more
tax
credit
equity,
but
you
could
do
a
4%
tax
credit
structure.
So
there
are
certain
financial
structures
that
would
not
yield
as
much
of
a
leverage
of
our
money.
It
would
actually
be
potentially
quite
a
bit
more
expensive
for
this
city.
F
F
F
Yeah
and
I
was
gonna,
add
two
things
that
we're
working
on
that
might
start
to
get
at
the
issue
that
will
be
coming
forward
soon.
One
is
that
the
council
has
directed
us
to
look
at
an
acquisition
and
rehabilitation
strategy
with
some
of
the
money
that
we
have
to
invest,
and
so
some
of
that
rehab,
you
know
a
quick
order
to
go
towards
an
existing
building.
It's
a
slightly
older
needs
a
little
bit
of
a
spruce
up,
especially
in
targeted
development
areas.
B
My
only
hesitation,
with
with
buying
buildings
that
need
sprucing
up,
is
that
you're
you're
gonna
again
not
have
just
the
dispersion
policy
looked
at
if
we
buy
a
brand-new
building,
there's
no
dispersion
issue,
I
think
you
will
be
putting
people
right
next
to
higher
income
people
immediately
and
that's
why
I
wanted
to
take
a
look
at
hey.
You
know:
how
could
we
just
buy
30
units
in
that
new
development
that
that
has
this
gigantic
sign
on
there?
Every
time
I
dry
out,
drive
on
85
there's
this
huge,
and
this
is
available.
B
F
F
B
Yes,
that's
that's
what
that's
what
I've
been
harping
on
for
a
long
time
and
I'm?
You
know
I'm
hoping
that
we
can
consider
this
as
part
of
the
solution.
I
know
that
Jackie
put
aside
some
few
million
dollars
for
this
specific
topic,
but
I
think
it's
the
way
to
go
I
had
she
did
tell
me
that
there
was
enough.
There
was
a
cost
of
this
by
not
being
a
lot
of
able
to
leverage
but
I'm
thinking
to
myself
immediate
income
coming
in
versus
leverage.
B
F
E
All
right
so
next
we
have
the
five-year
consolidated
plan
and
I'm
joined
by
Robert
Lopez
our
grants
manager-
and
this
is
related
somewhat
to
the
previous
item
on
the
afh.
But
this
is
really
a
plan
that
outlines
five
years
of
priorities
for
all
of
our
federal
funds,
so
CDBG
ESG,
home
and
HOPWA,
so
I'm
going
to
turn
it
over
to
Robert
to
go
over
our
planning
process.
Thanks.
I
Kristen
and
good
afternoon,
council
members
first
I
have
to
really
thank
Adam
and
Kristen
for
doing
a
lot
of
the
legwork
for
me,
especially
as
far
as
the
research.
In
the
background
that
kind
of
helps,
because
that's
all
you
know
the
planning
process
that
goes
into
kind
of
putting
input
into
the
consolidated
plan
and
the
consolidated
plan
is
what
puts
everything
into
motion
and
in
true
ambiguous,
HUD
speak.
I
Okay,
we
give
for
funds
of
federal
federal
programs,
you'll
recognize
a
lot
of
them.
The
commune
Development
Block
Grant,
which
is
our
most
flexible,
and
we
get
most
funds
for
that.
One.
The
home
investment
partnership,
the
home
program,
which
we
use
about
seven
million
dollars
to
put
in
a
second
sheets,
videos
that
just
recently
opened
the
housing
opportunities
for
persons
with
AIDS
grant,
which
is
a
hapa
grant
and
the
emergency
solutions
grant
which
is
solely
based
to
help
homeless
persons.
I
So,
within
the
plan
and
within
the
funding
we
get,
we
have
taken
all
the
funding
restrictions
and
and
guidelines
that
HUD
gives
us
with
these
four
programs
and
put
those
dollars
out
in
the
community
and
there's
plan.
You
know
prioritizes
certain
housing,
the
commute
development
needs
and
takes
no
account,
as
we
mentioned
earlier,
the
assessment
of
fair
housing.
I
So
last
there's
past
five
years
we
had
four
playing
goals.
The
first
one
was
increasing
and
preserving
affordable
housing
opportunities.
This
includes
rental
assistance
for
persons
with
AIDS
and
financing
affordable
units
through
our
home
program.
The
second
one
was
responding
to
homelessness
and
its
impact
on
the
community.
We
funded
programs
such
as
homelessness,
outreach,
homeless
prevention
for
youth
and
families,
and
and
also
tenant
base
right
now,
rental
assistance.
I
The
third
one
was
strengthening
neighborhoods
and
this
one's
a
little
bit
more
focused
on
our
capital
projects,
but
also
of
Leiter's
public
service
programs
and
councilmember
spires
that
you
mentioned
a
lot
about.
You
know
the
streetlights
and
the
curb
cuts
and
a
lot
of
the
cowboy
products
that
we
put
CBG
money
into
our
communities
is
really
similar
to
well.
It
goes
all
underneath
this
plan
goal
and
the
last
one
is
promoting
fair
housing
which
Adam.
I
I
And
the
consolidates
work
together,
you'll
notice
that
we
were
on
the
same
county
wide
or
the
region,
region-wide
RFP,
and
we
have
a
separate
consultant,
michael
Baker
International,
which
also
has
a
lot
of
experience
in
doing
consolidated
plans
and
in
annual
action
plans
to
see
that
five
times
fast
and
there
are
also
a
high
technical
assistance.
So
they
have
extensive
experience
in
developing
these
fans
and
there's
a
dimensioned.
I
We're
gonna
be
doing
three
to
four
large
meetings
separately
from
the
regional
outreach,
targeting
feedback
from
a
lot
of
our
public
stakeholders
and
a
lot
of
this.
A
lot
of
our
outreach
is
required
by
heads.
So
they
want
to
make
sure
that
we
do
our
due
diligence
and
come
back
to
and
then
we'll
end
up
coming
back
to
CED
and
NSC
committees.
With
that
research
and
our
strategies
and
tell
you
how
you
know,
we
think
that
these
impacts
will
or.
I
Thinks
that
this
money
will
impact
their
their
their
surroundings
and
how
it
all
feeds
back
into
the
head
eligible
categories.
I
think
this
is
probably
the
most
difficult
part
of
our
of
dealing
with
federal
funds.
Is
that
when
we
get
all
this
feedback
everybody's
trying
to
ask
us
like
well,
how
does
who's
eligible
for
it?
What
areas
can
we
put
things
in,
or
can
we
do
travel
and
and
and
what
kind
of
services
that
we
can
we
find
so
putting
all
those
constraints
into
everything
together?
I
B
Thank
you.
Thank
you
for
the
report.
I
did.
My
only
question
is:
why
have
separate
meetings
seems
like
we're
doubling
into
the
same
types
of
topics?
Why
not
combine
them
since
one
of
them?
You
don't
have
to
do
technically
right.
Won't
you
save
a
little
time
and
staff
money
on
on
that
right
and
we
thought
about
that
and.
I
We
will
be
doing
some
meetings
where
we
do
have
combined
outreach,
but
we
also
want
to
because
the
topics
just
carry
so
much
weight,
I
think
especially
for
the
the
assessment
of
fair
housing.
Those
topics
and
those
issues
really
get
into
some
things
that
maybe
the
consolidated
plan,
especially
focusing
on
programs
and
services
it'll,
take
a
while
to
get
to
those
connections.
