A
We
get
started
welcome
to
the
CED
meeting
community
and
economic
development
committee
meeting
last
week.
We
our
last
meeting
we
were
here
until
six
o'clock,
so
I'm
hoping
we're
out
a
little
bit
earlier
at
this
particular
meeting
before
we
get
started.
I
want
to
remind
the
committee
and
members
of
the
public
to
follow
our
code
of
conduct
at
our
meetings.
This
includes
commenting
on
the
specific
agenda
item
only
and
addressing
the
full
body.
Public
speakers
will
not
engage
in
a
conversation
with
the
chair
council,
members
or
staff.
A
All
members
of
the
committee
staff
and
the
public
are
expected
to
refrain
from
abusive
language,
repeated
failure
to
comply
with
the
code
of
conduct
which
will
disturb,
disrupt
or
impede
the
orderly
conduct
of
this
meeting.
May
result
in
removing
removal
from
the
meeting
again.
This
is
the
CED
meeting
and
it
will
now
come
to
order.
Can
the
clerk
please
call
roll.
B

A
A
D
E
Hi,
thank
you.
Thank
you
that
you're
going
to
public
comment.
It
is
an
important
part
of
this
process
to
ask
for
public
comment.
At
the
work
plan
time
yeah
I
I
wanted
to
comment
on
item
three.
The
city
initiatives
road
map,
you,
you
got
good
practices
from
the
San
Francisco
Foundation
analysis
of
City's
operational
and
financial
sustainability
models,
I've
mailed
to
yourself
a
few
times
now.
Letters
from
of
groups
of
a
group
called
the
San
Francisco
Homeless
Coalition,
and
they
have
a
report
called
SF
cart.
E
That
is
a
it
works
with
several
housing
advocacy
agencies
and
just
human
rights
agencies
in
in
San,
Francisco
and
and
their
interpretations
of
housing.
What's
needed,
I
think
you'd
really
be
interested
in
and
offers
a
really
interesting
package
of,
not
law
enforcement,
which
is
what
mayor
breed
has
been
so
strong
with
that
we
have
a
completely
different
system
available
in
how
to
address
things
that
I
think
really
needs
to
be
looked
at.
E
Besides
this
report,
you
offer
in
this
memo
so
I
I
mail
it
to
yourselves
at
city
government
several
times
and
I
really
hope
you
can
review
it.
It
offers
a
real
important
balance
of
what
the
the
readings
you
have
in
this
item-
they're
important
and
good,
but
you
really
need
what
the
SF
Homeless
Coalition
is
working
on.
E
A
F
D
A
G
G
G
G
G
The
decrease
in
the
fiscal
year
2122
period
shows
a
slight
decrease
in
the
percentage
of
major
public
works
contracts.
There
is
an
increase
in
the
overall
value
of
contracts
awarded
to
local
and
local
small
contractors.
Increased
two
of
the
year's
highest
value
contracts,
Paving
projects,
valued
at
17.8
million
and
12
million
respectively,
were
awarded
to
local
contractors.
G
Similarly,
looking
at
the
overall
number
of
construction
contracts,
65
percent
to
local
businesses
and
45
percent
to
small
businesses,
so
really
seeing
with
this
subset
for
minor
Public
Works,
we
can
have
a
high
degree
of
involvement
with
local
and
small,
focusing
on
the
dollar
value.
Minor
Public
Works
projects
had
an
average
of
413
thousand
dollars
in
fiscal
year.
21
22.
G
Finally,
before
I
pass
it
on
to
finance
department,
I
want
to
highlight,
in
the
spirit
of
our
impact
the
Outreach
Public
Works
has
performed
online
construction.
Contracting
seminar
had
170
registered
participants
with
15
graduating
we've
performed
this
since
2019,
and
it's
a
six-week
course.
That's
now
offered
online
in
2022.
G
Moreover,
last
year
we
conducted
our
first
meet
the
prime
subcontractor
event,
where
we
had
186
participants
with
co-sponsorship
from
Valley
Water
and
the
Valley
Transit
Authority.
We've
seen
limited
impact
with
these
programs,
but
wish
to
continue
them.
They
are
highly
resource
intensive,
but
it
is
one
way
to
drive
education
in
the
contractor
Community
to
ensure
we
have
the
participation
rates
that
you're
seeing
and
the
effectiveness
in
minor
Public
Works
contracts
and
finally,
with
the
local
and
small
business
preference
across
both
categories
we
did.
City
council
did
increase
that
to
five
and
five
percent
respectively.
H
Hi
good
afternoon
is
confess
the
house
Assistant
Director
of
Finance
for
the
city
good
afternoon,
chair
Foley,
council
members
and
the
public
I'm
here
to
present
today
the
finance
department,
local
and
small
business
inclusion
numbers
for
this
particular
unit,
sort
of
as
a
reminder
for
what
a
local
businesses
local
businesses.
They
must
have
a
current
or
valid
San
Jose
business
tax
certificate
and
have
an
office
in
Santa,
Clara
County,
with
at
least
one
employee.
What
that
does
is
that
gets
you
a
2.5
percent
credit
on.
H
F
H
I'm
sorry
on
low
bid,
solicitations
and
or
five
percent
in
points,
a
small
business
must
first
Lo
qualify
as
a
local
business
and
have
a
total
number
of
employees
of
35
or
less
that's,
regardless
of
where
the
employees
are
located.
This
also
gets
you
2.5
percent
Credit
in
dollars
on
a
low
bid,
solicitation
or
five
percent
in
points.
If
it's
a
qualitative
solicitation
so
blow
bid
is
essentially
price
determinative.
Those
are
the
smaller
bids
and
then
we
have
the
qualifications
based
solicitations.
H
This
is
the
generally
the
solicitations
that
the
individual
departments
are
doing
for
professional
and
Consulting
Services,
so
numbers
for
the
fiscal
year.
Fy
2122
are
in
front
of
you
and
as
with
Public
Works,
the
dollar
value,
which
is
the
amount
of
the
award,
is
the
most
consequential
metric.
We
have
302.2
million
total
dollars
awarded
in
FY
2122
local
businesses
receive
21
of
those
total
dollars.
Local
and
small
businesses
receive
seven
percent
and
we
had
total
Awards
of
1775
in
fiscal
year.
H
2122
local
businesses
received
11
of
total
Awards
and
supporters,
and
local
and
small
businesses
received
four
percent
of
total
Awards.
Finally,
we
looked
at
our
P
card.
Spend
as
well,
we
looked
at
what
the
total
spend
was
for
FY
2122,
that
was
13.5
million,
with
the
total
spend
local
businesses
got
33
percent
of
that
roughly
4.5
million
out
of
40
285
total
transactions,
foreign.
H
S
and
notes
on
the
local
and
small
business
counts
overall
counts
of
local
and
small
businesses
are
actually
fairly
conservative,
as
their
preference
is
only
applied
and
tracked
to
City
solicitation
processes.
So
the
local
and
small
business
preference
state
is
not
tracked
for
some
purchases,
sometimes
at,
for
example,
grants
purchases.
Since
we
are
not
able
to
apply
local
and
small
business
preferences
to
those
grants
brand
supported
procurements,
we
don't
track
those
but
I'm
certain
that
we
actually
have
small
and
local
and
small
businesses
participating
in
those
as
well.
H
The
variance
from
previous
years
may
be
due
to
changes
in
following
in
the
following
purchases,
which
are
often
made
with
local
and
small
businesses,
but
where
the
preference
does
not
apply,
so
the
preference
doesn't
get
applied
to
small
value
purchases,
which
are
less
than
ten
thousand
it
doesn't
get.
It
doesn't
apply
to
Emergency
procurements
Grand
front
of
procurements
as
I
just
went
through
or
public
agency
or
cooperative
purchases,
and
variance
for
total
counts
may
be
due
to
the
changes
in
some
consolidation.
We
are
now
doing
many
more
multi-package
procurements.
H
Basically,
that's
just
better
leverage,
our
purchasing
power
and
streamline
how
we're
doing
purchasing
for
the
city
and
also
the
types
of
procurements
that
are
done
annually
and
procurements
can
vary
annually
based
on
city,
and
here
are
the
total
Awards.
Once
again,
the
morally
more
important
number
is
the
dollar
value
that
I
presented
in
the
previous
slide,
and
so
what
does
financing
do
to
encourage
participation
by
local
and
small
businesses?
H
So
we
have
a
number
of
touch
points
we
do
work
collaboratively
with
the
public
with
many
of
our
partners
are
at
Public
Works
and
the
office
of
economic
development
in
July
2022.
We
developed
and
presented
a
webinar
in
multiple
languages
for
the
public
on
doing
business
with
the
city
of
San
Jose,
the
webinar
described
the
city's
procurement
process,
and
then
we
also
have
public
resources.
We
have
a
website
or
our
folks
can
click
come
to
our
website
on
purchasing
and
procurement
and
click
to
our
many
resources
and
information
and
flyers.
H
That
will
help
you
understand
exactly
how
best
you
can,
how
you
can
succeed
with
the
city
of
San
Jose
and
then.
Finally,
we
also
have
an
e-procurement
process.
That's
pretty
thorough,
it
is
the
one
way
that
you
could
one
of
the
ways
that
you
can
participate
with
the
city
of
San
Jose
with
the
larger
procurements.
H
They
have
great
training
resources
there.
They
have
individual
training
specific
to
individual
procurements,
specifically
for
the
city
of
San
Jose.
Those
are
offered
twice
a
week
and
they
also
have
a
very
robust
help
desk
that
you
can
either
email
or
telephone,
and
my
last
point
will
be
to
talk
just
a
couple
of
seconds
on
the
disparity
study.
H
As
you
all
know,
because
I
think
you've
heard
me
talking
about
it
under
different
items.
The
finance
department
is
the
lead
on
the
city-wide
disparity
study
and
that's
a
disparity
study
of
the
cod's
procurement
and
Contracting
practices
to
evaluate
whether
those
practices
adversely
impact
participation
by
disadvantage
and
minority
owned
businesses
and
we're
going
to
have
to
start
calling
them
diverse
businesses.
H
And
so,
while
the
disparity
study
is
not
specifically
focused
on
local
and
small
businesses,
it
may
provide
insight
and
we
expect
that
it
will
provide
some
insight
and
potentially
recommendations
that
may
affect
the
way
that
the
city
tracks
and
reports
on
procurement
and
Contracting
outcomes
as
such.
Our
future
reports
may
look
a
little
different,
but
of
course,
we'll
walk
you
through
any
transition
process.
As
you
all
know,
the
city-wide
disparity
study
is
ongoing.
We
recently
had
a
couple
of
sessions.
H
They
weren't
as
well
attended
as
we
like,
but
we
can.
You
need
to
do
Outreach
and
continue
to
do
a
lot
of
Outreach.
The
status
report
on
the
set
on
the
disparity
study
was
presented
at
the
February
16
2023
Public,
Safety,
finance
and
strategic
support
committee.
That's
episivus
meeting,
and
there
are
those
that
report
is
also
available
online
and
with
that
I
we
will
at
your
pleasure
any
questions.
I
I
I
thought
that
the
Khan
Academy
and
the
primes
event,
and
all
of
the
Outreach
that
you're
doing
is,
is
definitely
helpful.
I
I
was
curious
as
to
why
the
preference
the
when
it
went
from
2.5
to
5.
Why
was
it
only
minor
and
I
understand
that
you
know
in
terms
of
the
large
Public
Works
projects,
you
need
responsible
bidders,
but
it
seems
to
me
that
we
would
want
dollars
to
remain
in
San
Jose
and
you
know
giving
that
local
preference
is
important.
I
G
Thank
you
vice
mayor
for
the
question.
Let
me
respond
with
two
primary
points:
number
one
for
the.
Why
city
council
decided
to
limit
it
for
a
mini
code
purposes
between
major
and
minor
and
the
shift
of
two
and
a
half
to
five
percent?
The
data
gets
interpretive
so
in
the
presentation.
Public
Works
emphasize
the
role
of
the
specialization
required
for
major,
where
you
need
contractors
with
the
ability
to
handle
those
complex
projects
and
the
number
of
projects.
G
So
when
you
get
to
Any
Given
year,
Lauren
and
her
team
in
procurement
go
through
50
to
80
procurements
in
any
given
year,
and
the
mix
of
those
procurements
vary
right
depending
on
whatever's
on
our
our
table.
So
in
this
set,
apparently
we
can
interpret
the
data
that
we're
able
to
with
a
mix
of
up
to
the
five
and
the
five
percent
bonus.
The.
G
The
availability
of
the
projects
were
conducive
to
high
participation,
but
it's
hard
to
separate
because
they're
the
right
dot-led
projects
with
Krill
ramps
in
another
year.
We
could
have
projects
that
aren't
as
attractive,
even
though
they're
minor
and
the
market
might
not
align
fully
so
I'm
just
trying
it
it's
very
difficult
for
us
to
ascertain
if
we
move
the
volume
knob
and
the
treble
and
the
bass
knob
how
we're
coming
out
with
the
kind
of
music
we
we
want
to
call
success
at
the
end.
I
You
know
how
how
you
would
make
a
difference
for
the
local
businesses
right,
because
even
if
you're
small,
you
know
you,
you
can
never
get
big
unless
you're
sort
of
like
given
the
opportunity
to
demonstrate
that
you
can.
You
know,
work
in
and
and
get
that
experience
and
so
I.
Don't
know
that
if,
in
your
process,
you
have
a
way
for
the
the
main
Public's
work
contractor
to
have
Subs
that
are
local
and
whether
or
not
that
counts.
I
In
addition
to
be
able
to
assist
in
bringing
up
some
of
the
local
businesses,
because
I
think
that
it's
all
fine
and
great
to
have
you
know
businesses
from
other
areas.
But
you
know
I,
think
that
we
would
want
to
see
at
least
I
would
want
to
see
that
investment
here
in
San
Jose
with
local
businesses
with
small
businesses
that
have
the
opportunity
to
get
a
little
bit
bigger
as
they
gain
that
experience.
I
I
That
is
needed
for
the
city,
but
I
I
would
consider
being
bold,
I
mean
why
not
20,
and
maybe
you
can
tell
me
well
you
know
we
don't
have
those
businesses
here.
Well
then,
you
know
that
should
inform
our
need
for
get
going
out
and
maybe
attracting
some
of
those
businesses,
but
I
think
that
we
should
be
bolder
in
what
we'd
want
to
give
preferences
to
small
to
our
local
local
businesses.
I
So
that's
just
you
know
my
my
thought
in
terms
of
really
trying
to
stretch
a
little
bit
and
trying
to
reach
our
local
community.
The
other
thing
is
I
I
appreciate
the
information
on
the
finance
and
purchasing
contracts
I'm
a
little
bit
interested
in
also
understanding
Consulting
Services.
There
are
a
lot
of
Consulting
contracts
and
I
understand.
H
If
I
could
respond
on
behalf
of
button,
pardon
me
I'm,
working
off
a
cold
I,
don't
have
covet.
Okay,
let
me
just
state
that
so
the
actual
five
percent,
the
ten
percent
on
the
finance
purchasing
side-
does
make
a
difference.
So
if
you
look
at
the
five
percent
for
local
and
small
businesses,
those
are
for
the
low
bid
contracts,
so
they're
already
Rock
Bottom
for
their
pricing
supposedly,
and
so
that
five
percent
can
make
us
a
real
difference
and
if
you're
doing
consulting
procurements,
that
10
can
make
a
difference.
H
Let's
assume
you
have
a
hundred
points.
All
of
a
sudden
you've
got
100
points
which
is
an
A
plus
and
an
90
which
is
back
to
grade,
but
maybe
an
a
maybe
but
you've
really
got
a.
You
know
a
really
significant
difference,
so
it
can
make
a
difference
in
procurements,
especially
when
we
have
smaller
pools
of
folks
and
their
skill
sets
are
very
sort
of
similar.
You
really
get
to
a
point
that
that
ten
percent
that
10
in
points
or
that
five
percent
off
dollars
really
really
can
can
turn
a
procurement
around.
I
H
H
Actually,
as
we
do
the
disparity
study,
because
we've
gone
back
five
years
and
it's
became
quite
an
intensive
process
to
analyze
that
we
simply
don't
have
the
technology
in
place
to
do
that
sort
of
analysis,
we
can
certainly
provide
you
that
information
for
the
last
five
years
as
part
of
the
disparity
study
and
would
be
happy
to
do
so,
basically
give
you
a
heat
map
of
where
these
Consultants
are
coming
from.
That.
H
So
we
can
certainly
do
that
as
part
and
I'll
make
that
ass
today
and
so,
but
once
again
it's
we
use
badingo
as
a
tool
we
go
far
and
wide.
We
ask
people
to
basically
ask
anybody.
Who's
got
a
skill
set
in
the
particular
item
in
the
particular
services
that
they're
looking
forward
to
to
to
do
that
and
then
also
provide
be
be
proactive
about
looking
for
local
businesses
and
small
businesses.
Thank.
I
C
G
K
C
So
it's
not
necessarily
the
headquarter
location.
We
are
going
by
okay,
okay,
so
on
on
your
I
think
you
mentioned
in
your
report
and
the
section
concerning
that
and
the
table
too
before
that
you
talk
about
that,
you
have
always
given
these
numbers
by
saying
who
did
you
assign
the
contract
to
but
the
subcontractors
who
may
have
been
used
by
the
major
contractor?
C
C
G
Thank
you,
council,
member
for
the
question.
It's
a
great
idea.
We
don't
have
the
data
yet
you're,
not
the
first,
to
ask
the
question
about
tracking
the
results
and
participation
for
subcontractors
in
that
Spirit,
at
least
at
the
front
end
for
the
education.
That's
what
informed
and
continues
to
inform
our
meet
the
primes
event.
G
So,
with
the
31
primes
there,
the
several
subcontractors
encouraged
to
make
those
connections
and
to
participate
and
see
how
they
can
add
value
with
the
overall
packages
submitted
by
a
prime
and
thus
start
participating
as
a
local
and
small
business,
even
though
they
might
be
a
sub.
So
a
great
question
we're
seeing
if
we
can
pursue
tracking
that,
but
we
don't
have
those
systems
set
up
right
now.
C
No
no-
and
that
was
your
comment.
I
was
repeating
it
back
because
you
intend
to
collect
it
and
that's
a
great
intention
all
right,
because
it
is
going
to
bring
a
lot
more
transparency
to
how
much
local
business
we
are
truly
doing.
Okay,
so
I
appreciate
that
effort
and
good
luck
with
it.
It's
not
an
easy
job
to
collect,
along
with
all
the
other
stuff
you're
doing
so
best
of
luck.
Hopefully
soon
you
will
bring
that
data
to
the
okay.
Thank
you.
A
Thank
you,
God
distractor,
with
all
my
buttons
up
here,
I'm,
not
sure
which
one
I'm
supposed
to
be
pushing
I
just
had
one
quick
question
and
I
really
appreciate
the
report
about
small
and
local
businesses
and
the
distinction
between
major
and
minor
projects,
but
I
have
a
question
about
things
that
might
be
standing
in
the
way
from
small
businesses,
and
that
is
bonding
capabilities.
Do
we
require
these
small
businesses
to
have
a
certain
level
of
bonding
or
ability
to
be
bonded
so
that
the
project
gets
completed.
L
Thank
you
for
the
question:
I'm
Lauren
profit
I'm,
the
CIP
procurement
manager.
Yes,
the
city
requires
bonding
on
public
works,
construction
projects
for
minor
Public
Works
contracts.
We
don't
require
a
bid
Bond,
however,
per
the
municode.
We
require
a
performance
bond
and
a
hundred
percent
of
the
contract
amount
and
per
state
law.
We
require
a
payment
bond
in
the
form
of
one
one.
Hundred
percent
of
the
contract
amount.
A
A
A
L
F
M
Okay,
good
afternoon,
chair
Foley
and
council
members.
I'm
blog
is
the
Wallach
deputy
director
for
business
development
with
oedca
and
I
am
joined
this
afternoon
with
my
colleagues,
Vic
Farley
and
Nathan
Donato
Weinstein
Vic
leads
the
work
of
our
team
that
is
focused
on
small
business
assistance
in
strengthening
our
neighborhood
business
ecosystems.
M
Nathan
has
also
been
working
in
this
realm
as
well,
but
more
focused
on
efforts
with
larger
commercial
r
d
and
Industrial
businesses
I'm
very
pleased
to
announce
that
Nathan
has
been
promoted
to
assistant
to
the
city
manager
and
will
be
taking
over
my
previous
position
as
downtown
manager.
Actually,
as
of
today,
congratulations.
M
Our
presentation
today
is
divided
into
three
parts.
First,
some
facts
and
figures
around
the
team's
work
from
July
2021
to
date,
then
a
little
bit
about
the
challenges
that
we've
heard
from
the
business
community
and
what
we're
doing
with
respect
to
our
work
in
response
to
those
challenges
and
then,
lastly,
Focus
the
focus
of
our
work
moving
forward.
So
with
that
I
will
hand
it
over
to
Nathan
to
bring
begin.
The
presentation.
N
Thank
you
so
much
blog
a
and
thank
you
chair,
so
I'm,
going
to
start
by
kicking
us
off
with
a
brief
review
of
some
important
Local
Economic,
vital
signs
to
sort
of
set
the
stage
for
where
we
are
economically
speaking
in
San
Jose.
So,
first
some
context.
San
Jose
has
just
over
60
000
active
businesses
with
a
payroll
and
a
further
20
000
non-payroll
businesses
and
those
are
businesses
like
sole
proprietorships,
and
here
is
some
good
news.
N
N
So
they're
super
important
for
our
job
space
and
they
tend
to
be
critical
tax
generators
for
San
Jose
to
succeed.
We
need
both
small
and
big
business.
I
won't
discuss
each
Vital
sign
here,
but
generally,
what
we're
seeing
recently
are
sort
of
some
mixed
signals
and
I
think
we're
pretty
familiar
with
this.
So,
on
the
one
hand,
unemployment
remains
historically
low,
though
this
number
has
just
crept
up
a
little
bit.
N
It's
now
3.5
percent,
as
of
March
consumer
spending
is
exceeding
pre-pandemic
levels,
believe
it
or
not,
and
our
industrial
and
research
and
development,
commercial
vacancy
rates
actually
point
to
strength
in
those
markets.
On
the
other
hand,
continued
inflation
is
sapping
consumers
buying
power
and
making
things
really
tough
for
business
owners.
N
Tech
companies
have
been
accelerating
layoffs
and
the
work
from
home
Trend
continues
to
pressure
some
business
segments
and
there
are
signs
that
the
broader
labor
market
is
slowing
down.
The
upshot
here,
I
think,
is
that
it's
really
important
to
keep
our
momentum
around
business
support
and
Business
Development
as
we
planned
for
continued
headwinds
ahead.
N
So
the
numbers
on
the
next
two
slides
highlight
just
some
of
the
business
development
teams,
activity
and
outcomes
over
the
since
around
mid-2021,
and
this
slide
focuses
primarily
on
some
of
the
larger
corporate
engagements.
So
staff
host
numerous
Outreach
meetings
every
year
focused
on
attracting
or
retaining
corporate
investment
and
problem
solving,
and
these
efforts
May
pay
dividends
through
jobs
that
we
can
attribute
to
our
work
being
retained
or
attracted
in
the
city.
N
We're
also
proud
to
manage
the
foreign
trade
zone
in
our
region
with
participating
companies
generating
a
huge
amount
of
economic
activity
through
it,
and
the
ftz
provides
a
way
for
companies,
primarily
manufacturers,
to
optimize
their
operations
and
reduce
delay
or
eliminate
foreign
Duty
costs.
I
mentioned
this
because
it's
one
of
the
key
ways
that
our
region
can
remain
competitive
on
the
national
and
international
stage.
N
Next
up.
Support
for
small
business
is
at
the
heart
of
our
work
and
that's
what
this
slide
is
all
about.
So
in
terms
of
small
Biz,
our
Focus
right
now
is
really
around
capacity
building
local
business
leadership
and
networks
to
ensure
we
are
building
up
those
muscles
in
the
communities
where
it's
needed.
N
The
establishment
of
the
small
business
team
over
the
last
year
has
accelerated
this
work.
Vic's
going
to
talk
a
bit
more
about
that
collaboration
and
support
for
our
business
support
organizations
through
the
business
owner
space
collaborative
has
insured
more
than
ten
thousand
businesses
a
year
have
had
Direct
access
to
free
advice
and
support
and
I
just
want
to
highlight,
through
city
council
funding,
we're
fortunate
to
have
several
business
assistance
grant
programs,
including
the
storefronts
program
and
the
rent
relief
program,
with
some
key
outcomes
described
on
this
slide.
N
N
Finally,
just
a
sampling
of
some
exciting
business,
move-ins
leases
or
expansions
we've
seen
over
this
time
period,
so
key
points
here,
I
think
are
that
Innovation
remains
alive
and
well,
even
as
some
of
our
office
sectors
remain
sluggish.
So
we
have
seen
growth
in
areas
including
Advanced,
manufacturing,
biosciences,
electric
vehicles,
Battery
tech.
Tenants
who
are
active
in
the
market
are
looking
for
flexible
real
estate
with
elements
that
support
r
d,
such
as
good
power
infrastructure
things
like
dock
doors
and
high
ceilings
and
of
the
tenants
shown
here
on
this
slide.
N
Nearly
all
of
them
have
some
kind
of
lab,
Warehouse
or
manufacturing
component,
and
it
really
shows
the
importance
of
our
city
holding
on
to
that
type
of
real
estate.
If
we're
going
to
continue
to
remain
competitive
for
these
types
of
users
and
then
in
terms
of
retail,
our
retail
Market
has
held
up
relatively
well
over
the
last
few
years.
Believe
it
or
not,
though,
new
leasing
activity
has
been
sluggish
and
we
have
seen
some
consolidation
in
certain
sectors,
such
as
drugstore
as
some
of
our
big
national
players
Pare
down
their
store
fleets.
N
Most
of
the
activities
shown
here
has
involved
a
retailer
backfilling
existing
spaces
as
opposed
to
ground
up
new
construction
and
we're
fortunate
to
have
seen
some
of
this
growth
coming
from
folks,
like
grocery
anchors,
who
are
looking
for
opportunistic
expansions,
so
I'm
going
to
now
hand
it
over
to
Vic
who's
going
to
take
us
to
the
next
phase.
Thanks.
O
O
Our
long-term
goal
is
to
ensure
that
local
business
neighborhoods
are
self-sustaining
and
wherever
possible,
establish
an
assessment-based
District
as
a
vehicle
for
long-term
resource
attraction
and
business
oversight
and
control
next
slide.
Please
we
know
that
every
local
level
many
businesses
have
struggled
to
fully
recover
from
the
economic
impact
of
the
pandemic.
O
Finally,
we
meet
regularly
with
all
our
partners
on
a
monthly
basis.
Collaboration
runs
fundamentally
through
all
our
work,
particularly
in
the
business
owner
space.
Network
next
slide,
please
pandemic
exposed
and
accelerated
the
need
for
many
small
businesses
to
have
an
effective
online
sales
and
marketing
presence
for
many
local
small
businesses.
The
pandemic
triggered
a
physical
closure
that
resulted
in
a
decline
in
customers
and
uncertain
cash
flow
in
response.
O
So,
whether
you're,
a
small
or
a
large
business,
the
team
directly
supports
major
projects
and
Investments
across
San.
Jose
examples
include
the
emerging
new
EV
Battery
Technology
in
North
San
Jose,
sustaining
our
manufacturers,
also
in
North
San
Jose
and
the
Monterey
Road,
and
facilitating
the
permitting
process
for
major
Tech
investors
such
as
Adobe
and
tick
tock.
O
O
In
addition
to
the
Ally
program,
there
are
a
number
of
other
initiatives
that
you
see
outlined
on
this
Slide,
by
which
the
team
assists
both
large
and
small
businesses
to
navigate
this
process
of
doing
business
in
San
Jose.
Our
facilitation
is
fundamental
to
securing
investment
that
creates
and
stains
both
in
employment
and
wealth
for
all
our
residents.
O
So
in
talking
with
businesses
of
all
sizes,
we
know
that
accessing
local
workers
and
retaining
employment
continues
to
be
a
challenge
in
large
part
due
to
the
High
Cost
of
Living
and
this
challenge
reverberates
through
the
economy.
In
many
ways,
so
our
team
includes
a
housing,
Catalyst
officer
who
focuses
on
housing
policy
and
facilitation.
O
This
role
coordinates
the
housing
team,
the
Catalyst
team,
which
is
an
interdepartmental
team
that
meets
twice
a
month
and
is
focused
on
the
production
and
preservation
of
housing
in
San
Jose.
This
position
has
played
an
important
role
in
working
on
our
new
site
inventory
for
the
housing
element.
Launching
the
new
housing
site,
explore
a
digital
tool
to
make
it
easier
to
find
developable
sites
and
leading
the
work
around
the
cost
of
residential
development.
M
M
And,
as
we
conclude,
the
presentation,
I
would
like
to
acknowledge
the
people
that
do
the
work
that
we
have
just
described
here
and
much
much
more.
A
number
of
them
are
in
the
audience
this
afternoon
and
given
the
size
of
our
city
and
the
number
of
businesses
we
have
to
engage
with,
you
can
see
that
it
is
a
relatively
small
team.
M
M
A
Great
thank
you
for
that
presentation.
I.
As
a
former
small
business
owner,
it
makes
me
happy
to
see
the
numbers
of
how
many
small
businesses
we
have
and
how
many
employees
that
Inc
involves,
but
also
makes
me
a
little
sad
that
I
no
longer
have
a
small
business.
So
I'll
talk
a
little
bit
about
that
in
a
minute.
Let's
go
to
members
of
the
public.
P
Yes,
thank
you
dear
chair
Foley,
Vice,

made
and
I

supporting
small

accomplishments,
such
as

and
the
successful

of
financial
assistance
programs.
Their
collaboration
with
Community

shows
oed's
dedication
to

Community
needs
again.
I
want
to
convey
our
appreciation
for
the
office

tireless
work
in
fostering
a
vibrant,
resilient

community
in
our

Thank
you.
J
Good
afternoon
and
thank
you
to
our
office
of
Economic
Development,
so
Nathan,
congratulations
on
on
your
new
promotion
and,
of
course
you
know,
thank
you
to
Juan
and
Swan
I,
see
that
these
two
in
incredible
individuals
help
2620
businesses
throughout
Santa
Clara
throughout
San
Jose,
a
city
of
a
million.
So
you
know
thank
you.
Thank
you
for
that.
I
know
that
Juan
and
Swan
work
hard,
because
I
was
part
of
sjda
who
was
always
bugging
them
about
potential
small
businesses
opening
up
and
believe
me.
They
really
helped
out
these
small
businesses.
J
N
N
It
could
approach,
you
know
going
towards
the
upper
20s,
you
know
relatively
soon
right
and
so
the
big
brokerage
houses
do
these
quarterly
updates.
We
expect
them
all
to
put
out
the
q1
really
really
soon
they
might
already
be
out,
but
we
should
expect
and
sort
of
be
ready
for
that
to
be
the
case.
Downtown.
N
F
N
J
N
I
mean
the
city
of
San.
Jose
has
a
couple
of
really
important
office
hubs.
One
of
them
is
downtown
another
one
is
the
airport
sub-market,
which
is
actually
experiencing
a
higher
vacancy
rate.
Currently
than
than
downtown
is,
and
so
you
know,
the
work
from
home
revolution
has
changed
the
game
in
terms
of
pure
office
space.
The
good
news
for
downtown
is
that
the
building
base
here
is
Rel.
N
The
good
or
bad
news
right
is
that
the
building
based
downtown
is
relatively
small,
and
so
it
it
doesn't
take
a
lot
of
movement
to
move
the
needle
significantly
in
One,
Direction
or
the
other
right
so
is.
Is
you
know
we
have
tenants
that
leave
put
20
000
square
feet
up
for
it
for
lease
that
changes
the
numbers
here
in
a
way
it
wouldn't
change.
The
numbers,
for
instance,
for
the
r
d
Market
in
North,
San
Jose
great.
J
No,
and
and
for
those
of
us
in
for
those
of
folks
who
are
listening
through
zoom
and
audience,
though
we
don't
have
an
audience
today,
we
have
mostly
city
employees.
I
I
asked
that,
because
we
all
know
that
our
it
trickles
down
right
when
these
folks
are
staying
at
home
and
working
remotely,
that
it
trickles
down
to
our
small
businesses
right
downtown
is
a
ghost
town
on
Monday
afternoon
and
Friday
mornings.
Right.
J
There
have
actually
been
times
where
you
know
some
of
my
friends
or
family
are
like
hey:
let's
go
have
lunch,
you
know
Monday
around
city
hall
and
I'm
just
kind
of
like
no.
No,
we
can't
we
might
have
to
drive
to
downtown
Willow
Glen,
because
everything's
closed
down
around
Downtown
San
Jose,
because
we
know
that
Tuesday
through
Thursday
is
the
is
where
folks
come.
You
know
come
to
work.
So
that's
why
that's
why
I
asked
the
other
one
is
have
and
I
don't
know.
J
If
this
is
a
question
for
for
OED
or
or
housing
have
we
we?
We
know
that
AB
2011
and
SB
six
past,
where
it
makes
it
easier,
for
you,
know:
commercial,
real
commercial
plazas
to
be
converted
into
housing.
Has
anybody
in
the
city
single
to
us
via
OED
or
housing
that
they
want
to
build
in
one
of
our
many
commercial,
commercial,
centers
housing,
or
is
that
more
of
a
housing
question.
M
F
J
Great
and
I
think
as
a
city.
We
need
to
be
aware
of
that,
because
you
know,
as
you
know,
California
our
State
Assembly
made
it
way
more
easier
for
developers,
housing
developers
to
build
on
Commercial
in
our
commercial
Zone,
and
you
know
me
as
a
Hauser,
but
also
someone
who
supports
small
business
is,
you
know,
torn
in
the
middle
and
though
we
need
housing.
We
also
need
small
businesses,
because
we,
we
all
know
what
Urban
Villages
coming
in.
J
J
Do
we
have
a
One-Stop
shop
for
small
businesses
where
they
I
know
that
we
have
one
for
the
the
restaurants,
our
streamline
restaurant
program?
But
do
we
have
any
do
we
have
one
for
any
small
business
where
they
either
set
up
an
appointment
with
office
of
Economic
Development
or
come
into
the
first
floor?
Where,
in
that
one
stop
they
are
able
to
get
their
permits
for
you
know
code,
for
you
know
the
grease
panel.
If
there
it's
a
restaurant,
the
front
sign
if
it's
a
front
sign
the
store,
activation
Grant.
M
So
councilmember
I
would
say
there
is
a
coordinated
effort,
but
there
is
not
a
One-Stop
shop
oftentimes,
it's
it's
not
kind
of
one
permit
that
you
need
it's
not
every
permit
is
is
sometimes
it
is
quite
honestly,
but
but
not
always,
and
those
permits
are
handled
through
different
departments.
The
grants
are
handled
through
different
departments.
So
what
we
try
to
do
with
the
small
business
allies
with
those
partners
that
you
just
mentioned
are
our
private
sector
partners
and
then
within
our
our
CSA
is
to
be
as
coordinated
as
we
possibly
can.
M
M
J
Great,
so
thank
you.
Thank
you
for
that.
I
think.
You
know.
We
need
to
continue
to
explore
a
potential
One-Stop
shop
I
know,
but
we
all
work
together,
but
I.
You
know
from
what
I
heard
from
small
businesses
is
they?
Don't
they
don't
like
getting
bounced
around
and
some
folks
don't
know
right,
especially
our
folks
I
just
mentioned
our
folks
who
are
monolingual,
Spanish-speaking
or
Vietnamese,
or
you
know,
Filipino
or
et
cetera.
C
The
word
quicker
turn
around
I
think
it's
worthy
of
congratulations,
Kudos
and
I
hope
you
keep
doing
that
more
of
it.
So
we
want
to
see
that
turn
around
there
I
got
a
question
regarding
the
international
business
development.
Okay,
are
you
proactively
reaching
out
to
the
foreign
corporations
or
you
just
ending
up
because
of
we
have
the
trade
zone
which
looks
like
is
one
of
the
most
popular
trade
zone,
the
number
18,
and
could
you
just
comment
on
your
International
Outreach
or
the
company's
International
companies.
M
Sure,
council,
member
so
I
would
say
that
in
the
last
three
years
because
of
coven
the
focus
of
our
business
development
efforts
has
really
been
kind
of
turned
around
and
turned
on
its
head
and
focused
on
the
small
businesses
here
in
the
city
that
were
most
substantially
impacted
and
so
over
the
last
three
years.
Specifically,
we
have
not
been
doing
proactive,
International
Outreach,
however,
because
of
kind
of
San
Jose's
reputation.
We
still
continue
to
get
kind
of
incoming
inquiries
and
obviously
we've
had
our
International
programs.
M
Manager
has
also
been
here
and
has
you
know
some
deep
relationships
with
companies
that
are
either
foreign
or
owned
or
have
foreign
investments?
And
so
we
do
get
approached
by
by
those
companies.
Part
of
what
we're
doing
looking
forward
is
taking
a
look
at
kind
of
our
our
corporate
Outreach
strategy,
and
that
includes
International
programs
and
kind
of
assessing
how
we
best
approach
that
to
basically
maximize
benefit
to
both
cities
and
to
companies
that
are
looking
to
either
establish
or
grow
their
presence
here
in
the
city.
Okay,.
C
Thank
you
and
the
last
question
on
your
small
business
in
the
small
business
Arena.
Are
we
seeing
any
movement
from
a
small
business
which
was
located
in
the
region,
but
not
in
city
of
San
Jose,
actually
moving
from
Santa,
Clara
or
Cupertino
or
anywhere
coming
into
us
because
of
the
interdependence
they
have
with
the
other
co-located
business.
O
C
O
Yes,
it's
the
short
answer
and
the
complication
around
this
tends
to
be
on
the
specific
needs
of
the
business
and
the
power
increase
that,
for
instance,
a
particular
business
must
have
in
order
to
be
located
in
that
property
on
that
site.
And
so
yes,
we
have
to
when
we
do
our
development
facilitation,
whether
you're
a
large
or
a
small
business.
O
We
do
have
to
engage
with
the
utility
companies
and
PG
e
to
get
some
kind
of
timeline,
and
if
that
timeline
doesn't
work
to
then
try
and
use
our
office
to
try
and
support
that
business
with
getting
somewhere
in
a
in
a
better
place
with
a
defined
time.
And
the
truth
is
that
can
be
very
complex,
because
it's
not
just
that
PG
e
or
that
one
utility
company,
but
there's
a
knock-on
effect
and
the
business
is
trying
to
make
an
important
investment
decision
based
on
a
timeline
and
needs
certainty
in
its
decision
making.
O
O
If
there's
a
slight
upside
in
my
answer
to
council
battery
is
that
it's
not
unique
to
the
city
of
San
Jose
many
other
jurisdictions
face
the
parallel
same
questions
and
therefore
we
have
to
operate
in
a
similar
environment
to
many
others,
but
I
think
I
think
that
we
would
want
to
see
a
big
Improvement
in
PG
e,
because
that
does
affect
the
overall
competitiveness
of
Silicon
Valley
and
California
in
general.
Yeah.
M
And
just
just
to
add
a
quick
comment
to
what
Vic
was
saying
not
only
with
other
small
businesses,
but
especially
with
our
larger
developments
that
are
coming
through,
that.
That
is
a
challenge
and-
and
that
is
a
challenge
that
is
recognized
at
our
senior
leadership
level
in
the
city,
and
there
are
many
conversations
happening
with
a
high
level
folks
at
PG
e
as
well,
because
we
know
that
this
is
extremely
detrimental
to
development
and
future
growth,
both
on
a
large
and
a
small
scale.
C
I
Thank
you.
I
too,
would
like
to
express
my
appreciation
for
all
the
work
that
you've
done.
I
know
that
the
last
few
years
has
has
been
extremely
challenging
for
everyone.
So
thank
you
for
all
the
Workshops,
the
Outreach
and
just
multiple
things
that
you've
been
able
to
do.
I
have
a
couple
of
questions,
and
maybe
I
just
missed
it.
I
was
curious
as
to
when
you're
looking
at
the
number
of
San
Jose
business
by
side
and
council
districts
is
that
information
from
a
business
license.
What
is
the
data
source
for
that.
I
Who
are
the
sole
Proprietors?
It's
such
a
high
percentage.
You
know,
I
was
thinking
gosh,
you
know
if
we
had
a
few
of
them
just
had
to
come
over
to
be
part
of
the
downtown
or
you
know
I'm
just
curious
council
member
Torres
already
mentioned.
You
know
the
work
from
home
type
of
a
situation
that
many
of
us
encountered
during
the
pandemic.
Is
that
what
we're?
I
O
Well,
I
think
I
think
it's
fair
to
say
that
we
can
go
back
10
years
and
see
that's
being
a
sole
proprietor
has
been
a
significant
number
across
all
10
council
districts
is
not
a
new
phenomena.
It
is
a
growing
trend
and
there's
an
upside
to
this,
because
today's
sole
proprietor
is
tomorrow's
small
business.
That's.
O
O
We
also
know,
in
terms
of
just
to
sort
of
elaborate
the
point
when
we
look
at
a
a
district,
we've
kind
of
got
five
metrics.
You
didn't
ask
me
the
question
about
Matrix,
but
I'll
kind
of
try
and
answer
it,
because
I
think
it
influences
our
understanding
of
who's,
the
sole
proprietor,
which
is
the
average
age
of
a
business.
How
long
has
that
business
had
a
license
at
the
same
address
and
we
have
an
average
for
the
city
which
is
just
under
11
years,
so
we
know
when
we
apply
that
number
to
sole
Proprietors.
O
So
those
are
the
kind
of
questions
we
try
and
look
at
when
we
delve
more
deeply
into
that
data
set
around
sole
Proprietors
because
from
a
small
business
point
of
view,
someone
who's
trying
to
encourage
entrepreneurship.
I
view
that,
as
a
huge
positive
for
every
council
member
to
know
that
you've
got
that
really
strong
backbone
of
home-based
businesses
in
in
your
area.
No.
I
A
O
O
Think
it
was
very
interesting
in
the
finance
department
about
two
years
ago
ran
an
amnesty
and
we
saw
an
uptick
and
I
and
I
think
it
could
be
that
a
conversation
point
that
we
take
away
from
this
afternoon
is
to
talk
to
our
finance
colleagues
and
see
whether
there's
a
point
of
analysis
there.
With
with
how
the
amnesty
brought
out
organized
brought
out
businesses
that
perhaps
have
existed,
but
hadn't
been
official
in
the
licensing
process.
A
Right,
I
think
being
a
business
with
a
business
license.
It
means
that
you
actually
expect
some
service
from
the
city
and
many
small
businesses,
particularly
sole
Proprietors,
don't
know
what
we
can
do
for
them,
so
they
may
be
thinking.
Well,
that's
a
big
expense.
I
mean
frankly,
I
close
my
business,
but
I'm
going
to
still
have
to
pay
a
business
license.
Tax
and
I
don't
have
any
employees,
but
my
Corporation
is
open,
so
I
have
to
still
pay
the
fee,
which
actually
is
problematic.
A
Businesses
may
be
closed
for
one
reason,
but
they're
staying
open
for
a
to
file
tax
returns
or
whatever
ever
reason
so
I
I
think
we
if
we
can
make
a
an
argument
or
a
pitch
as
to
why
it's
relevant
and
why
they're
getting
Services
as
related
to
a
small
business,
for
example,
being
able
to
have
PG
e
assistance
with
PG
e.
The
the
small
business
allies
are
really
great
opportunities,
but
also
small
businesses
need
human
resources
help.
They
may
need
a
legal
contract,
help
on
on
Leasing
and
reviewing
leases
things
like
that.
A
So
I
really
do
appreciate
the
work
and
and
Vic
you
mentioned
a
survey
but
I'm
going
to
ask
you
about
a
survey
that
we
do
when
businesses
are
closing.
Do
we
ever
survey
those
businesses
to
Define
to
find
out
why
what
why
are
they
closing
their
doors
and
they
all
have
different
reasons,
but
it'd
be
interesting
to
know
particularly
downtown
if
they're
closing
and
moving
to
another
city
or
closing,
because
they're,
tired
of
not
having
enough
activity
downtown
or
whatever
it
is,
and
to
council
member
torres's
point.
A
M
I
would
say
that
downtown.
That
is
one
of
the
places
where,
as
council
member
Torres
mentioned
kind
of
our
private
Partnerships
through
the
Downtown
Association,
they
have
more
kind
of
regular
conversations
with
businesses
in
the
the
district
that
they
represent
about.
Why
they're
closing
I
would
say
that
we
are
also
getting
better
I
mean
it's
it's
difficult
to
know,
oftentimes
when
a
business
closes
and
as
you
just
described,
it's
not
obviously
readily
apparent
through
our
business
license
tax
data
that
a
business
is
actually
closed
or
what
the
status
of
that
business
is.
M
A
Thank
you.
It's
just.
The
small
businesses
were
all
up
here,
saying
this.
They
are
the
backbone
of
our
city
and
small
businesses.
One
person
it's
up
to
35
people
that
to
encourage
them
to
support
them
in
any
way
we
can
is
really
will
will
will
pay
off
to
the
city,
but
also,
more
importantly,
to
the
small
business
and
their
employees
and
their
employees,
families.
So
I
I
really
appreciate
this
report
and
our
emphasis
on
small
businesses
and
making
sure
they're
healthy
and
thriving.
M
Just
one
quick
plug
before
we
leave,
which
is
that
May
12th
we
are
going
to
be
having
I,
think
you
all
probably
have
a
save
the
date,
but
May
12th
we're
going
to
be
having
an
event
at
the
Rotunda
in
kind
of,
in
conjunction
with
small
business,
Small,
Business
and
Entrepreneurship
month,
and
so
you'll
all
be
receiving
an
invitation.
We'll
have
a
couple
of
panel
discussions
and
resources
available
for
our
small
business
Community
great.
A
S
Good
afternoon,
chairperson
Foley
and
City
Council
Members
I'm
Jeff
Ruster,
with
the
office
of
Economic,
Development
and
I'm,
joined
today
by
Monique
melchor,
who
is
the
director
of
the
work
to
Future
program
at
Sangeeta
Doral?
Who
is
the
operations
manager
for
the
agency
and
together?
They
will
present
today
an
up-to-date
on
work
to
Future
activities
and
as
well
as
kind
of
the
related
update
on
the
re-employment
and
Workforce
Development
component
of
the
city's
roadmap.
S
And,
if
you
don't
mind
going
to
the
next
slide,
and
so
this
slide
talks
about
the
the
unemployment
rate
for
the
city
of
San,
Jose
relative
to
the
United
States
and
goes
back
about
12
or
14
months.
But
before
I
talk
about
this
slide.
What
I
really
wanted
to
do
was
kind
of
rewind
and
I'll.
Do
this
very
quickly
going
back
to
April
of
2020.?
At
that
time
the
unemployment
rate
was
12
and
a
half
percent,
and
that
was
due
to
covid
shelter
in
place
and
overnight
within
three
or
four
weeks.
S
50
60
000
people
suddenly
lost
their
jobs
and
were
furloughed,
and
so
the
unemployment
rate
went
oh
skyrocketed
clearly
within
that
time
frame.
But
that
number,
though
it
shows
a
lot
of
Economic
and
emotional
distress
that
was
happening
at
the
time,
doesn't
really
talk
about
how
deeply
that
that
downturn
cut
into
certain
segments
of
our
community,
particularly
communities
of
color.
S
The
unemployment
rate
at
that
time
was
18
19,
sometimes
20
percent
for
certain
segments
of
our
community
during
that
very
tumultuous
time,
and
if
you
fast
forward
to
April
of
2021
that
employment
rate
had
dropped
within
that
one
year
period
down
to
5.4
percent.
But
again,
the
communities
that
were
lagging
were
those
same
communities
that
had
been
hit
hardest
during
the
2020
downturn
go
forward
one
more
year
to
April
of
2022.
Just
a
year
ago,
the
unemployment
rate
was
2.4
percent.
S
We
had
a
really
robust
economy,
but
again
the
the
unemployment
rate
for
the
the
black
indigenous
people
of
color
bipart
by
the
acronym,
was
much
higher
than
what
that
number
would
otherwise
dictate.
Another
thing
that
it
crept
very
much
into
the
picture
was
inflation.
It
was
running
at
an
annualized
rate
of
nine
percent
and
so
for
getting
race
and
ethnicity.
S
For
the
moment,
inflation
hits
low-income
households
harder
all
things
being
equal
because
they
spend
a
higher
percentage
of
their
available
income
on
food,
Transportation,
rent
child
care
and
the
like,
and
what
I
would
add
during
that
two-year
period
of
time,
from
basically
March
of
2020
to
April
of
2022
work.
The
Futures
offices,
along
with
most
of
our
partners,
were
either
fully
closed
or
partially
closed.
S
We
did
not
begin
to
even
be
able
to
meet
one-on-one
with
clients
until
roughly
October
of
2021,
so
18
months
after
shelter
in
place
and
over
the
next
four
to
six
months,
rather
until
April.
That's
what
we
did,
and
it
was
really
on
April
20
25th
of
last
year
that
we
had
our
first
job
fair
and
we
did
our
grand
opening
at
the
Las
Plumas
Center.
S
So
now
you
can
see
from
this
slide
that
the
unemployment
rate
is
layoffs
principally
again
in
the
high-tech
sector
and
so
Youjizz
being
much
higher
than
what
that
number
would
otherwise
dictate.
And
though
inflation
has
come
down,
it
is
running
at
about
five
percent,
which
is
still
about
three
percent
higher
than
the
fed's
target
of
two
of
two
percent,
and
so
my
own
mind,
at
least
when
I
look
at
kind
of
how
the
bottom
fell
out
of
the
economy
and
who
was
at
most
vulnerable
at
that
time.
S
As
we
went
into
2021
those
populations
that
lagged
in
the
economic
recovery
or
in
April
of
2022
last
year,
you
had
this
very
low
unemployment
rate,
but
there
was
large
segments
of
our
population.
That
historically,
has
been
the
case
that
did
not
ride
that
wave
of
economic
prosperity
and
now
in
2023
we
have
this
uncertain
kind
of
easiness
jitteriness
and
we
all
know
who
kind
of
suffers.
S
Initially,
it's
going
to
be
those
lower
income,
lower
skilled
workers
that
are
going
to
lose
their
jobs
first
or
have
their
hours
reduced,
and
what
I
am
most
proud
about
in
terms
of
what
the
work
of
what
Monique
and
Sangeetha
do,
along
with
our
board.
Is
that
or
that
it
has
always
been
not
just
because
of
code
wood,
but
going
back
to
when
this
agency
was
created.
Some
20
years
ago,
that's
who
we
focused
in
on,
and
that
has
been
a
constant
throughout
the
time
that
work
to
Future
has
been
around.
S
T
Afternoon,
council
members,
Monique,
correct
or
future
nice
to
see
you,
yes
I'm,
going
to
talk
about
some
of
the
changes
that
did
transpire
during
our
time.
During
the
pandemic,
we
did
shift
to
Virtual
Services.
As
you
were
aware,
we
had
to
go
into
a
situation
that
we've
never
experienced
before,
and
that
was
being.
You
know,
made
sure
that
we
were
safe
but
staying
indoors.
So
we
did
a
quick
shift
to
Virtual
services
with
virtual
Services,
we
were
able
to
enroll
do
case
management.
T
Do
Training,
Services
workshops
things
that
individuals
didn't
necessarily
get
to
take
advantage
of
in
a
virtual
setting.
So
because
of
the
pandemic,
we
found
ourselves
in
a
you
know
different
time,
different
way
of
providing
services.
So
we
were
able
to
do
it
all
online.
That
being
said,
we're
now
doing
a
hybrid
model,
so
we've
we've
taken
advantage
of
being
able
to
do
that
for
those
individuals
that
can't
necessarily
come
and
see
us
in
person.
T
So
we
can
now
provide
the
services
in
person
and
virtually
online,
which
makes
it
a
lot
easier
for
individuals
that
may
have
impediments
to
Transportation
or
just
you
know,
difficulty
coming
into
our
one
stop
Center.
So
we
now
provide
services
online
as
well.
Work
to
Future
also
moved
from
its
South
Side
location
to
the
east
side
of
San
Jose
at
1601,
las
Plumas,
1608,
Las
Plumas
rather
to
the
east
side,
and
we
actually
started.
Oh
gosh
I,
don't
know
how
many
20
years
ago
on
the
east
side,
so
it
was
back
great
to
be
back.
T
We
onboarded
new
service
providers,
so
there
was
a
lot
of
change
internally
going
on
while
the
pandemic
was
happening,
so
it
was
really
a
different
way
of
providing
business
where
we
were
all
just
connecting
virtually,
but
we
had
onboarded
Equus
and
International
Rescue
committee
as
our
service
providers,
and
we
also
rolled
out
a
younger
youth
program.
Typically,
we
serve
out
of
school
youth
18
to
24,
but
we
also
decided
we
were
going
to
include
in-school
youth
at
16
to
21.
T
So
we're
doing
that
now
and
then,
of
course
we
realized
you
know
and
with
the
move
we
were
going
to
have
new
Community
Partnerships
being
built
getting
to
know
us
all
over
again
in
a
sense
because
we
moved
and
we
wanted
to
make
sure
we
were
being
tied
to
you,
know
that
area
so
to
speak.
So
Conservation
Corps
is
a
great
partner
that
we're
working
with
Job
Corps
Metro
Ed
has
been
an
outstanding
partner
and
we're
actually
doing
co-enrollments
on
site
now,
because
we
don't
have
the
pandemic
in
place
anymore.
T
So
we
can
actually
see
individuals
in
person.
So
we
try
to
do
co-enrollments
on
sites
where
we
have
a
physical
location,
a
physical
presence
rather,
and
we
receive
referrals
specifically
from
Metro,
Ed,
Conservation,
Corps,
The,
Hub
and
other
agencies
that
we
also
work
with,
which
also
includes
Prosperity
lab
and
the
San
Jose
Latino
organizations
I'd
like
to
go
to
the
next
slide.
T
To
give
you
a
little
bit
of
information
about
work
to
Future
in
general
for
all
of
our
new
board
members.
I'm,
not
sure
if
you
know
this,
but
council
members.
Rather
we
do
serve
San
Jose,
it's
our
biggest
municipality,
but
we
also
serve
the
cities
of
Campbell
Los
Gatos,
montessorino,
Saratoga,
Morgan,
Hill
Gilroy
and
the
unincorporated
areas
of
Santa
Clara
County,
so
San
Martin
is
unincorporated.
So
that
gives
you
kind
of
an
example
of
what
that
means.
T
We
met
all
our
wioa
performances
and
we
have
done
that
every
year
for
the
past
20
years.
So
we're
really
proud
to
be
able
to
say
that
we
are
also
what
we
consider
a
state
designated
High
performing
Workforce
board
so
that
we
really
value
that
and
we
look
forward
to
every
year
submitting
our
application,
because,
hopefully
we
know
we're
going
to
be
another
high
performing
board,
especially
because
of
the
city
we
serve.
San
Jose
is
a
big
municipality,
so
we
want
to
make
sure
we're
serving
all
the
individuals
in
this
area.
T
Some
of
the
businesses
that
we've
worked
with
are
Gardner
Health,
Kaiser,
Almaden,
Health,
Clinic,
Roku,
Cisco
and
Intuit.
So
we
do
a
lot
of
employer
Outreach
to
make
sure
we're
getting
the
best
type
of
situations
for
the
individuals
that
are
coming
to
look
for
employment
opportunities
and
again,
the
vast
majority
of
clients
that
we
do
work
with
have
two
or
more
barriers
and
85
percent
are
bypoc
with
wioa.
There
is
a
mandate
of
what
we
call
Priority
of
services
and
those
priority
of
services
shall
be
given
to
Veterans
recipients
of
Public
Assistance.
T
U
Good
afternoon,
council
members,
so
our
walk
to
Future
service
highlights
are
as
follows:
we
served
1846
enrolled
clients
1100
throughout
Rio
program
and
746
through
our
San
Jose
Works
program.
We
also
served
another
2300
clients
who
were
not
enrolled
and
received
online
Training,
Services
job
Readiness
and
rapid
response
workshops
and
participated
in
job
fairs.
Our
clients
received
contextualized
training
and
education
through
occupational
skills,
paid
work,
experience
online
training,
pre-apprenticeship
training
and
non-traditional
Apprenticeship
Training
that
we
are
in
the
process
of
exploring
and
planning
for
this
program
year.
U
Some
examples
of
our
training
and
education
services
includes
programs
in
healthcare
such
as

to
over
5000
online

related
to
it,
accounting
and
finance
project
management,
Healthcare
customer
service
and
these
courses
are
all
available
in
Spanish,
as
well
as
part
of
a
youth
work.
Experience
program.
U
Sorry
continuing
with
our
training
examples:
San
Jose,
Works
internship
programs
serves
746
High
School
young
adults
provided
in
partnership
with
prns,
where
376
clients
received
paid
internships
and
another
370
received
unsubsidized
internships
resilience
core
program
in
conjunction
with
San
Jose
Conservation
Corps
and
City
libraries
served
220
young
adults
who
received
job
Readiness
and
paid
work
experience
training
through
our
trades
orientation
pre-apprenticeship
program.
We
served
a
total
of
90
clients
with
a
graduation
and
placement
rate
of
80
percent
in
construction
and
other
trades.
U
The
wages
ranging
anywhere
from
28
to
33
dollars
per
hour,
depending
on
the
trade
and
position.
Lastly,
through
our
PG
E
power
Pathways
program,
there
have
been
262
graduates
since
the
program
began.
Our
latest
our
latest
cohort
of
20
clients
had
a
90
placement
rate.
Clients
were
placed
in
various
positions
within
PG,
e-making
and
average
hourly
rate
of
37
an
hour.
T
Thank
you,
Sangeeta
I'm,
going
to
be
continuing
with
our
looking
ahead.
We're
really
excited
we're
going
to
be
looking
at
non-traditional,
apprenticeships,
ICT
and
advanced
manufacturing
that
are,
of
course,
registered
with
the
Department
of
Labor.
We're
looking
at
a
healthcare
Workforce
initiative,
we'll
be
looking
at
the
workforce
needs
of
the
healthcare
system,
with
the
assistance
of
Kaiser
and
Regional
Medical
we're
also
recruiting
other
healthcare
agencies
on
our
board
is
Priya
Smith
she's,
the
Medical
Group
administrator
with
Kaiser,
and
the
vice
chair
of
our
board,
so
she'll
be
assisting
us.
T
So
we're
really
excited
about
doing
that
and
then
we're
also
looking
at
a
community
and
economic
resilience
fund,
which
we
call
Surf
phase
one.
This
is
a
two-year
research
and
planning
project
with
somos
Mayfair
Silicon,
Valley
leadership,
group
working
Partnerships,
and
this
will
emphasize
good
jobs
and
the
advantage
in
and
the
advancement
of
marginalized
individuals
in
underserved
communities.
So
we're
really
going
to
be
looking
at
how
we
can
help
those
individuals
and
then,
lastly,
we're
going
to
be
scaling.
T
Our
San
Jose
Works
program,
which
is
our
youth
program
where
we
have
paid
internships
and
what
we
also
call
an
unsubsidized
program
in
scaling,
our
San
Jose
Works
entrepreneurship
program.
It
was
primarily
offered
to
our
subsidized
clients,
but
we're
going
to
be
offering
it
to
our
unsubsidized
as
well.
So
a
large
number
of
individuals
will
be
able
to
take
advantage
of
that
program.
As
you
mentioned,
the
small
businesses
that
are
in
homes,
that's
something
that
they
probably
do.
T
T
Again,
looking
ahead,
we're
going
to
be
having
HVAC
and
CNC
Machining
training,
which
of
course,
is
very
lucrative
to
some
individuals.
It
is
a
demand
occupation,
CNC,
beginning
wages
are
28
up
to
41
an
hour
and
HVAC
23
up
to
49
an
hour
for
child
care
support.
We
received
Google
funds
to
support
participants
with
child
care,
so
they
can
participate
in
our
programs
a
lot
of
time.
Individuals
don't
have
the
child
care
that
they
need
to
be
able
to
participate.
T
We
are
going
back
to
in-service,
so
meaning
they'd
have
to
go
to
that
entity
to
be
able
to
get
the
training.
So
we
want
to
make
sure
that
participants
have
the
ability
if
they
do
have
small
children,
that
we
can
assist
with
the
child
care.
And
then
we
have
a
job
fairs
that
we
provide
throughout
the
year
eight
were
provided
throughout
the
year
in
various
locations
we
actually
I'm
going
to
plug.
T
T
This
is
just
an
example
of
our
San
Jose
career
Expo,
a
picture
from
the
San
Jose
McHenry,
Convention
Center.
It
was
I
think
if
I
recall
at
one
of
our
first
in-person
events-
and
there
was
a
lot
of
individuals
and
we
were
really
excited
about
the
number
that
did
participate
and
we're
looking
forward
to
a
large
number
as
well
tomorrow.
So
if
you
can
make
it
or
if
you
have
individuals
that
are
wanting
to
attend,
please
send
them
our
way.
T
And
with
this
is
a
quick
picture,
snapshot
of
individuals
that
are
learning
to
develop
software
bots,
so
they're
busy
at
work
and
then
lastly,
just
thank
you
all
for
your
time
today.
We're
really
excited
to
be
able
to
provide
this
presentation,
and
if
you
have
any
questions,
we
do
have
staff
that
are
available.
A
Wonderful,
thank
you
for
that
presentation.
I
I
really
appreciate
it.
I
appreciate
all
the
training
that
you're
doing
for
our
Workforce,
it's
nice
to
see
that
you're
back
in
person.
I
know
a
lot
of
people
learn
better
that
way
and
and
do
better
that
way.
So
it's
it's
great
that
we're
back
in
person
as
much
as
we
possibly
can.
Let's
go
to
members
of
the
public.
Q
Good
afternoon
my
name
is
Tim
Nguyen
I'm,
director
of
career
services
at
Eastside,
Union,
High,
School
District.
So
if
you're
not
familiar
we're
in
East
San
Jose,
11,
Comprehensive,
High,
School,
three
continuation,
high
school
and
in
my
area
of
work,
I
oversee
our
Career
Technical
co-education
pathways,
and
these
folks
are
my
heroes
right
and
I
say
that,
because
I
have
been
at
the
school
district
for
42
years.
Q
That
is
a
beautiful
thing.
If
you
have
children
that
are
you
know
of
college
age
or
high
school
age
is
for
them
to
explore
the
work
that
they
would
be
doing
in
the
future
as
adults,
while
they're
like
in
their
formative
years
learning
about
different
careers
is
an
amazing
opportunity.
During
covid
we
were
distant
learning.

Good

the
committee
I'm
Dorothy
Moore,
with
the
San
Jose
Conservation,
Corps
and
I,
am

Future
team,
Jeff,
Monique,
Sangeeta
and
the
rest
of
the
team
for
their
assistance
with
implementing
the
resilience
Corps,
both
1.0,
which
was
funded
with
the
arpa
funding
and
also
2.0
between
both
of
those
programs.
We
are
employing
close
to
300
young
adults.
W
Is
there
any
resilience
course
provided
training
for
young
adults
and
also
putting
them
to
work
for
to
create
a
cleaner
and
Greener
and
climate
resilient
San
Jose,
specifically
our
staff.
Our
team
have
worked
with
the
work
to
Future
team
to
help
with
the
design
and
roll
out
of
the
resilience
core
specifically
has
been
critical
just
because
we
had
to
start
at
such
a
large
scale.
So
we're
recruitment
was
critical,
including
multilingual,
Outreach,
assistance
with
design
and
outcome
and
goal
setting,
and
especially
with
our
designing
the
externship
program
run
by
prns.
W
To
put
our
young
adults
in
working
side
by
side
with
prns
Professionals
for
hopefully
for
hiring,
and
we
have
about
20
just
over
25
folks
that
are
in
the
hiring
process
for
the
city
of
San
Jose.
They
haven't
been
hired
but
they're
in
the
hiring
process.
Specific
additional
specific
support
was
from
for
participant
eligibility
and
also
connecting
to
other
Partnerships
with
the
trade,
small
business,
training
and
workers
rights.
Training
groups,
so
just
really
wanted
to
give
a
huge
extension
of
our
gratitude
for
our
our
collaboration
here
and
looking
forward
to
doing
that
into
the
future.
X
Thank
you
so
much
for
all
the
work
that
you're
doing
for
our
city,
I
I
just
wanted
to
recognize
work
to
futurists
a
great
partner
with
Metro
Ed
I'm,
the
director
of
Workforce
Development
for
the
Metropolitan
education,
school
district
and
Mirza
hanzar
has
been
working
with
his
team
and
our
team.
This
year
we
were
able
to
get
54
of
our
students
in
our
high
school
Dental,
Assisting
and
medical
assisting
program
for
signed
up
to
Cal
jobs,
of
which
I
believe
24
currently
have
paid
internships
that
they
can
make
up
to
six
thousand
dollars.
X
This
is
something
that's
been
really
exciting
for
our
program.
We're
strong
Partners,
we're
also
trying
to
build
out
a
k-14
Pathways,
because
Metropolitan
education
has
a
adult,
ed
school
and
so
we're
working
on
an
mou
so
that
work
to
future
will
be
here
five
days
a
week
to
help
support
all
of
our
students
who
fit
through
that
eligibility.
Work
to
future
is
also
part
of
our
monthly
Workforce
collaborative
group,
along
with
manufacturer
San,
Jose
Goodwill,
Silicon
Valley
and
our
own
Workforce
development
team
here
at
Metropolitan
education.
X
So
we're
super
excited
to
expand
these
opportunities.
For
more
of
our
Pathways,
we
have
23
Pathways
at
our
at
metraed
at
Silicon,
Valley
careertech,
and
we
welcome
and
invite
anybody
who
would
like
to
come
and
do
a
tour
of
our
amazing
facility
and
see
the
great
Partnerships
that
we
have.
Thank
you
for
your
time.
C
Thank
you
for
that
excellent
report
and
the
Nobel
Mission.
You
are
carrying
a
couple
of
quick
questions
for
you.
Are
you
able
to
get
these
people
training
where
they
need
the
certification
for
that
job,
like
some
of
the
jobs
are
certified
job
where
they
need
a
certificate
or
you
happen
to
get
them.
Those
kind
of.
T
So
waiting
one
job,
I'm,
sorry,
councilman
Patrick.
Yes,
when
we
do
provide
services
to
individuals,
they
have
to
have
a
certification.
So
it
has
to
be
something
that
is
recognized
not
only
in
the
state
of
California
but
wherever
they
may
travel.
So
we
do
have
to
and
that's
one
of
our
performance
measures
is
credential
rate
and
it
has
to
be
something.
That's
like
I
mentioned,
recognized
in
the
state.
So
yes,
okay,.
T
Yes,
we're
really
excited
we're
going
to
be
working,
hopefully
with
the
fire
department
and
do
some
EMT
training-
hopefully
this
next
upcoming
year,
so
we
have
been
having
those
discussions.
We're
really
excited
to
do
something
for
the
police.
We
know
their
work
is
valuable
and
and
definitely
trying
to
make
a
difference
with
them
is
going
to
be
exciting
for
us
great.
I
I'll
be
very
quick
as
the
liaison
to
work
to
future
for
the
council.
I
just
want
I
learned
so
much
I
was
so
excited
to
to
learn
all
of
the
different
programs,
all
of
the
things
that
you
do
for
our
community.
Thank
you
so
much
and
thank
you
for
your
work
with
our
partners
at
Eastside
and
all
over
Metro
Ed.
What
have
you?
It's
just
amazing
that
you
bring
so
much
energy
and
you
know,
sort
of
like
yes,
we
can
do
this
attitude,
and
so
just
thank
you.
Thank
you.
A
As
a
former
School
Board
member
I,
who
supported
that
Metro
ad
through
San
Jose
Unified
one
of
many
school
districts,
it's
a
it's
really
a
lot
to
behold
to
see
what
the
young
people
and
adults
are
learning
and
developing
careers
that
then,
can
be
successful
for
them.
So
thank
you
for
that.
Thank
you
for
the
report
and,
let's
vote.
A
Okay,
great,
thank
you.
Next,
we
have
two
housing
reports.
Both
of
them
were
deferred
from
our
last
meeting.
So
thank
you
for
the
staff
members
who
are
here
now
who
were
prepared
last
time
and
now
they're
prepared
again.
So
it's
really
good
to
see
you
again.
Thank
you
for
coming.
The
first
one
is
rent
stabilization
program,
strategic
plan
status
report.
Y
Good
afternoon
committee
members,
my
name
is
Emily
Hislop
I'm,
a
division
manager
in
the
housing
department
today
with
me
also
is
Rachel
vanderveen
assistant
director
in
the
housing
department.
Today,
we're
going
to
give
you
an
update
on
the
progress
of
development
of
the
rent,
stabilization
programs,
strategic
plan,
helping
us
do
this
work.
This
is
a
work
in
progress.
Is
a
representative
director
of
at
RSG
Inc,
the
consultant
that
is
supporting
us
in
developing
a
excuse
me
a
strategic
plan,
Mark
sawicki.
Y
Y
Some
of
the
actions
that
resulted
from
this
work
were
a
series
or
a
suite
of
ordinances.
First
is
the
tenant
protection
ordinance,
which
was
adopted
in
2017
and
amended
in
2018.
It
established
dust
cause
for
eviction
for
all
covered
properties,
which
basically
are
buildings
with
three
rental
units
or
more.
There
are
13
categories
to
legally
evict
a
tenant
with
just
cause.
Y
Then
the
apartment
rent
ordinance.
So
there
was
an
existing
rent
ordinance,
but
a
very
significant
revision
to
that
ordinance
was
adopted
in
2018.
It
sets
rent
increase
limit,
it
established
a
partition
process
for
landlords
and
tenants,
and
it
requires
the
annual
registration
of
rent
stabilized
units.
Rent
stabilized
units
are
rental
units
and
buildings
with
three
or
more
that
were
built
prior
to
1979..
Y
Y
Next
slide
and
finishing
up
these
ordinances,
we
had
the
Ellis
act
ordinance
adopted
in
2017.
This
establishes
a
process
for
withdrawing
buildings
that
have
rent
stabilized
units
from
the
rental
market.
It
requires
notice
to
tenants
in
the
city,
relocation,
assistance
and
re-control
for
a
portion
of
the
newly
constructed
rental
units
if
there
are
nuclear
constructed
rental
units
being
built.
Y
Y
However,
just
as
we
finish
the
work
in
implementing
these
ordinances
and
setting
up
all
the
programs
that
needed
to
be
necessary
to
effectively
Implement
and
educate
the
public,
it
was
then
beginning
of
2020
the
covid-19
pandemic
hit
and
the
administration
turned
his
attention
towards
pandemic
response,
including
quickly
enacting
in
a
victim
moratorium
and
a
rent,
crease
moratorium.
It
had
been
the
plan
to
prepare
a
three-year
strategic
plan
to
implement
and
measure
the
effectiveness
of
these
ordinances.
However,
the
pandemic
work
delayed
development
of
that
plan.
Y
The
administration
brought
a
draft
strategic
plan
to
the
Housing
and
Community
Development
Commission
in
Spring
2021.
However,
after
significant
feedback
and
due
to
the
continued
need
for
covid-19
response,
work
and
rent
relief
deployment
and
eventually
recovery,
the
administration
decided
to
procure
the
services
of
a
consultant
to
support
us
in
our
development
of
this
strategic
plan.
So
an
RRP
was
issued
last
summer
and
the
administration
selected
RSG
Inc
to
perform
this
work
with
us
next
slide.
Y
So
what
is
a
strategic
plan,
as
it
said
in
the
order
Auditor's
report?
This
provides
a
foundation
for
Effective
administration
of
the
programs
that
defines
results,
desired
results
and
plans,
tasks
to
meet
those
results.
The
auditor's
report
recommended
that
the
plan
include
objectives,
strategies,
activities
and
outcome
measures
and
targets.
Y
Y
Further
fair
housing
through
inclusive
education
and
Outreach
Foster
positive
relationships
between
residents
and
property
owners
promote
stable
and
long-term
renter,
tenancy
preserve
mobile
homes
and
mobile
home
parks
as
a
source
of
affordable
housing
to
discuss
what
we've
been
doing
to
to
effectively
go
about
developing
this
plan,
I'm
going
to
turn
it
over
to
Mark
sawicki.
If
he's
available.
Z
I
am
here,
thank
you,
Emily.
Thank
you,
Mark
I
assume
everybody
can
hear
me.
So
we
looked
at
various
pieces
of
data
to
to
to
evaluate
how
well
the
program
is
operating.
We
looked
at
both
city
data
data
that
comes
out
of
the
city's
rent
registry.
So
all
all
apartments
under
the
apartment,
rent
ordinance
are
information,
is
gathered
in
a
rent
registry.
So
we
could
review
that
information.
We
also
looked
at
census.
Data
market
data
data
from
an
organization
called
the
eviction
lab,
which
looks
at
at
evictions
and
cases
and
outcomes.
Z
Z
How
well
is
the
apartment,
rent,
ordinance,
stabilizing
rents
and
stabilizing
tenancies
is
the
Ellis
act
ordinance
preventing
reduction
in
housing,
stock
rental
housing
stock?
Is
the
mobile
home
rent
ordinance,
helping
renters
stay
in
their
spaces,
as
well
as
Park
owners
from
collecting
a
fair
return,
and
is
the
housing
payment,
equality
ordinance,
preventing
discrimination
of
households
that
have
rental
assistance
next
slide.
Z
Z
We
identified
some
comparable
jurisdictions
and
interviewed
them
six,
six
in
total
different
cities
that
also
have
rent
stabilization
programs
to
determine
best
practices.
What
are
what
are
the
things
that
San
Jose
is
doing?
Well,
what
things
could
that
could
San
Jose
add
to
its
program?
We
also
conducted
a
stakeholder
engagement
process
talking
to
tenants
and
Property
Owners
mobile
home
park
owners
and
mobile
home
park
residents
to
get
their
feedback
on
the
program
and
how
it
how
it
could
potentially
be
improved.
Z
We
have
just
actually
completed
the
stakeholder
engagement
in
the
past
month.
This
this
report
was
supposed
to
come
to
you
last
month,
so
some
of
these
slides
may
be
a
little
bit
dated,
but
but
where,
where
we're
letting
you
know
that
we
did
complete
the
stakeholder
engagement
at
this
time,
we,
as
I
said
we
talked
to
tenants
and
Property
Owners,
as
well
as
mobile
home
park
residents
and
mobile
home
park
owners.
Z
There
were
actually
five
virtual
and
in-person
meetings
that
were
held
between
the
end
of
February
and
the
middle
of
March.
We
had
over
170
participants
in
those
meetings
and
then
there
was
also
an
online
survey
for
those
who
could
not
attend
or
were
more
comfortable
with
that
form
of
feedback
and
the
next
slide,
and
then.
Y
B
D
E
We
can
learn
how
to
be
clear
about
that
in
the
future
that,
although
Copa
may
not
be
working
towards
developing
actual
housing
in
the
future,
affordable
housing,
it
is
working
towards
displacement
issues
and
tenants,
rights
issues
and
that's
a
concept.
I
think
we
have
to
learn
how
to
be
more
clear
about
in
the
future
discussion
the
community.
Thank
you
a
lot
for
this
item
and
your
work
that
you're
doing
with
this
subject.
E
At
a
time
everybody
learns
to
understand
the
concepts
and
then
just
becomes
a
bit
kind
of
regular
and
ordinary
and
people
start
variating
on
it,
and
new
variations
appear
and
that's
what
I'm
trying
to
offer
in
this
item
about
how
to
talk
about
the
future
Copa,
the
future
of
building
housing
and
displacement
issues
and
and
how
to
differentiate
the
different
subjects
matter
in
our
future.
As
this
item
tries
to
do
very
well
in
and
of
itself
thanks
again
for
it,
and
thanks
for
your
time.
B
AA
Strategic
plan
to
me
means
more
stress
is
on
the
way
it
means
stay
on
your
toes
again
Jill.
It
means
more
research,
more
meetings,
wondering
what
is
happening
to
the
possibility
of
being
displaced.
Again.
My
name
is
Jill
borders,
I
live
at
Imperial
and
state
Imperial
Estates
Mobile
Home
Park
in
District
10..
My
husband
and
I
purchased
our
a
mobile
home
here
10
years
ago.
It
has
been
the
most
stable
10
years
of
our
lives
in
San.
Jose
I
am
so
grateful
to
my
park
owner
for
providing
such
a
beautiful
and
safe
place
to
live.
AA
The
Imperial
Estates
Park
owner
has
made
it
possible
for
174
families.
Here
in
San
Jose
to
own
a
home.
We
should
be
grateful
to
park
owners
that
continue
to
operate
parks
and
care
about
their
home.
Owning
tenants,
owning
a
home
has
been
incredibly
important
to
me.
I
need
a
place
to
raise
my
daughter
without
the
threat
of
eviction
and
unstable
rent
increases,
which
had
been
the
story
of
our
life.
Buying
a
mobile
home
and
living
in
Imperial
Estates
has
been
the
reason
our
family
is
thriving
and
I
want
to
be
clear.
AA
It
is
the
reason
that
my
daughter
finally
feels
stable
I
know
for
a
fact
that
the
rent
stabilization
program
works.
What
I
want
this
committee
to
hear
is
that
I
am
incredibly
frustrated
by
our
housing
department
and
the
Consultants
they
have
hired
during
the
virtual
meeting
in
March.
Despite
my
continued
asking
to
be
all
kept
together
in
the
same
room,
Park
owners
were
separated
like
enemies
or
something
from
everyone
else.
Are
we
adults
here?
Why
are
we
being
split
up?
AA
Why
can't
we
hear
each
other
speak
I
want
to
know
the
challenges
that
Park
owners
face
and
I
think
Park
owners
need
to
know
what
the
challenges
are,
that
their
tenants
face
and
by
continuing
to
separate
us
it
makes
us
feel
that
they
have
an
agenda.
We
don't
understand.
I
am
absolutely
fearful
that
this
is
the
truth.
Please
respect
mobile
home
owners
by
allowing
us
to
meet
directly
with
the
park
owners.
K
Martha
O'connell
the
meeting
of
the
mobile
home
park
owners
and
the
residents
followed
the
long-standing
patterns
in
housing,
meetings
of
divide
and
control,
divide
and
conquer.
At
the
meeting
of
the
residents
and
owners,
many
residents,
including
myself,
asked
that
residents
and
park
owners
stay
in
the
same
meeting.
These
were
residents
who
have
been
involved
for
years
on
mobile
home
issues
over
our
strong
objection.
K
The
residents
and
the
owners
were
split
into
two
groups
for
quote
breakout
sessions,
housing
and
their
consultants,
for
some
reason,
appear
to
be
very
unhappy
when
residents
and
park
owners
want
to
hear
each
other
without
the
spin
and
control
of
housing
example,
May
2020,
Ryan
josinski,
representing
the
park
owners
and
I
representing
the
residents,
came
up
with
the
josinski
O'connell
compromise.
This
concerned,
a
freeze
on
rent
raises
during
covid,
while
maintaining
the
rent
raise
anniversaries
for
the
park
owners.
K
We
presented
our
compromise
over
the
vmm
opposition
of
housing
who,
the
day
before
the
meeting
dropped
a
supplemental
memo
that
threatened
to
blow
up
the
compromise,
a
compromise
that
gsmol
attorney
Bruce
Stanton
called
a
helpfully
crafted
and
very
workable
solution.
Council
persons,
Foley
and
Davis
commented
that
when
the
owner
rep
and
the
resident
rep
agree,
the
proposal
should
be
carefully
considered
over
housing's
objection.
K
Y
Sure
so
we
decided
to
have
both
virtual
and
in-person
meetings
to
be
able
to
accommodate
as
many
representatives
from
either
perspective
as
we
could
at
the
property
owners
virtual
meeting.
We
had
57
different
Property
Owners
log
in
and
participate
the
at
the
in-person
property
owners
meeting.
We
had
28
and
they
were
all
very
engaged
and
some
of
them
are
representatives
of
the
property
owner
Community
for
the
tenant
virtual
meeting
we
had
about
20
and
we
did
have
translation
available
and
many
people
took
availabs
of
the
translations.
Y
The
tenant
virtual
meeting
and
then
we
had
20
tenants
in
the
the
the
in-person
meeting,
but
I
have
done
personally
I
over
the
last
seven
years.
I
have
done
many
workshops,
in-person
information
sessions
for
other
jurisdictions
and
cities.
That
was
a
good
turnout,
particularly
for
tenants.
A
lot
of
them
are
working
a
lot
of
them,
it's
hard
to
get
to
the
one
of
those
things
and
we
we
used
several
different
methods
of
Outreach
to
get
people
to
attend,
and
we
will
say
that
the
people
who
did
attend
were
very
engaged.
Y
Y
In
my
experience
that
was
robust
engagement
and
then
we
we
were
asking
the
same
survey
question
to
each
group,
whether
I
mean
the
same
to
the
tenant
invert
in
person
and
virtual,
and
we
also
had
those
same
questions
available
on
in
an
online
survey
in
multiple
languages,
and
we
also
invited
people
to
just
email
us
comments
that
they
had
and
we
gave
that
to
our
consultant.
Who
would
be
able
to
put
it
in
a
quantifiable
way
with
their
data,
and
that
was
37..
Y
I
Participants
so
I
I
will
say
it
seems
like
a
small
universe.
So
that's
just
preliminarily
and
I
know
that
you're
going
to
continue
working
with
your
consultant,
it
seems
like
a
very
small
number
of
input
and
I
would
encourage
more
Outreach,
go
to
associations
and
other
entities
that
might
give
a
broader
perspective,
also
in
the
report
that
was
included
as
attachment
B
in
your
information.
One
of
the
preliminary
recommendations
is
for
the
rental
registry
to
make
it
mandatory
for
all
I
question.
I
How
are
you
going
to
do
the
enforcement
as
it
is
right
now?
We
don't
even
have
enough
people
in
Code
Enforcement
to
get
out
there
and
deal
with
what
we
have
right
now.
How
would
you
be
able
to
enforce
that
every
single
rental
property
would
be
part
of
a
registry
I
just
see
it
as
having
to
increase
the
number
of
Staff
as
well
as
for
what-
and
it
seems
to
me
that
at
least
in
my
district
I
have
one
of
the
largest
number
of
apartments
and
it
is.
I
It
is
another
layer
that
I
wonder
where
is
it
going
to
get
us,
so
those
are
preliminary
questions
that
I
have,
as
you
start
moving
forward,
I
think
it's
a
very
small
universe
that
you
have
tapped
into
I
would
say
that
I
would
agree
that
you
know
separating,
as
was
mentioned
by
one
of
the
callers,
especially
in
the
mobile
home
parks.
You
know,
without
understanding
where
there
could
be
agreements
is
something
that
maybe
you
should
take
a
look
at
as
well.
I
Y
F
Y
Issues
with
property
owners
registering
units
and
an
enforcement
and
oh
enforcement,
we
only
due
to
the
pandemic
and
also
the
rent
registry
just
got
going
right
before
the
pandemic.
We
did
not
issue
any
administrative
citations;
rather,
we
were
giving
people
notices
of
violation
and
trying
to
make
sure
we
had.
You
know
if
there
were
new
addresses.
We
didn't
issue
citations
until
last.
June
we've
had
two
hearings
so
far
to
Property
Owners
appealed.
Y
There
were
two
hearings
and
both
decisions
were
favorable
to
us,
and
part
of
the
process
is
paying
the
fine
before
the
hearing
and
they
did
and
it's
always
been
our
position.
We
just
want
you
to
register
we
and
that
that
did
sending
those
letters
and
when
the
possibility
became
real,
more
Property
Owners
did
go
ahead
and
register
their
unit.
C
I
think
similar
to
Vice
mayor's
comment.
The
success
of
any
survey
or
any
findings
of
this
nature
depends
on
is
how
well
the
survey
is
structured,
which
means
who
is
being
surveyed.
Who
is
being
asked
to
give
the
input,
and
my
concern
would
be
very
similar
to
what
Vice
Mayors
is
that?
Do
you
really
have
the
appropriate
sample
size
for
the
kind
of
representation
you
need?
C
The
number
of
renters
involved,
the
number
of
owners
involved,
I,
think
your
sample
size
in
person
and
on
Zoom
may
not
be
appropriate,
and
hence
it
may
not
lead
us
to
the
right
conclusion.
So
I
would
strongly
suggest
that
you
consider
your
sample
size,
because
that's
very
very
key
to
any
of
these
things.
Second
question
I
would
have
is:
did
you
get
a
representation
from
our
districts.
C
Y
So
we,
when
people
came
in
in
person,
we
requested
they
sign
in
with
their
information
and
address
I
believe
District
number,
but
not
ever
it's
a
voluntary
we're
not
requiring
people
to
provide
that
information
when
they
participate.
We
wanted
people
to
feel
as
comfortable
as
possible,
but
that
was
we
did
not
look
through
the
lens
of
District.
We
tried
to
get
the
message
out
far
and
wide,
including
advocacy
groups
and
the
Commissioners
themselves
to
invite
members.
C
Yeah
so
again
in
terms
of
constructing
your
sample
size
and
stakeholders,
I
would
suggest
that
we
should
get
a
representation
from
the
people
who
attend
be
at
least
from
every
District,
because
this
is
a
thing
which
is
not
affecting
one
district.
One
part
of
San
Jose
and
whatever
we
come
up
with,
is
going
to
be
affecting
all
residents
of
San
Jose,
so
getting
a
valid
representation
in
terms
of
the
feedback
survey
mechanism.
C
So
my
emphasis
would
be
all
on
similar
to
what
Vice
Mayors
is
that
let's
get
the
right,
appropriate
sample
size
and
from
the
sample
right
number
of
people
at
the
right
type
of
people
from
right.
District,
so
that
you
have
a
input
which
is
going
to
the
conclusions
you
draw
from
would
be
solid
and
not
be
challenged
in
any
form
and
shape.
Okay,.
R
Council
member
Patrick,
this
is
Rachel
van
Arena
assistant,
director
of
the
housing
department,
so
I
I
appreciate
your
comments
and
we'll
definitely
take
that
into
consideration.
I
just
want
to
also
add
that
the
real
Target
of
the
of
the
stakeholder
engagement
is
people
who
are
currently
interacting
with
our
ordinances
and
what's
been
very
interesting,
is
that
we
do
actually
have
kind
of
an
uneven
distribution
actually
of
people
who
are
covered
by
these
ordinances.
R
So,
for
example,
council
member
Kamai
actually
has
the
highest
number
of
by
by,
like
thousands
in
buildings
and
residents
covered
by
the
apartment,
rent
ordinance
and,
for
example,
in
District
8
there
are,
there
are
very
few,
it's
it's.
It's
like
you
know
very
small
number
so
anyway,
so
I
think
what
we
we
understand.
What
you're
trying
to
say
and
I
think
there's
definitely
value
in
that,
but
I
also
want
you
to
understand
that
the
ordinances
themselves
actually
do
have
an
uneven
distribution
across
districts.
C
A
Thank
you,
I
have
a
couple
of
questions,
and,
and
first
I
I
just
want
to
first
I
want
to
thank
the
members
of
the
public
who
called
in
particularly
Jill
and
Martha,
who
spoke,
who
called
in
about
the
mobile
home
parks.
The
is
there
a
reason
that
we
would
not
in
have
the
park
owners
meet
with
the
residents.
It
seems
like
we're,
always
pitting
the
residents
against
the
park
owners
and
when
we
separate
them,
that
is
an
obvious
pitting
against
each
other.
So
why
did
we
do
that?
Y
Y
Most
of
the
questions,
just
with
the
mobile
home
ordinance
there's
never
been
an
intention
to
go
in
there
and
change
anything
unless
it
was
painfully
obvious.
The
mobile
home
parks
are
highly
regulated
by
a
state
law
and
really
a
lot
of
what
our
department
supports
is
Outreach
and
support
for
Park
owners
and
residents,
and
we
felt
that
we
could
get
more
meaningful
feedback
about
what's
working
and
not
working
and
more
candid
feedback
if
we
had
gave
them
the
opportunity.
Y
That's
one
reason:
a
big
reason
is
we
knew
it
would
be
a
large
group
and
we
wanted
to
get
as
many
voices
heard
as
possible
and
the
larger
group
you
have
it's
harder
to
get
more
voices
heard,
but
another
was
to
have
more
candid
feedback
from
both
residents
and
park
owners.
Some
residents
may
not
want
to
be
may
want
to
say
things
that
might
be
negative,
and
maybe
they
don't
want
their
park
owner
to
hear.
Y
Y
A
So
earlier
you
said
that
you
expected
a
substantial
number
that
doesn't
sound
like
a
substantial
number
to
me
when
the
mobile
home
parks,
I,
think
Jill
said
she
had
180
some
people
in
her
family's
in
her
unit.
So
it
doesn't
seem,
like
our
participation
was
huge.
I
mean
I,
hear
where
you're
coming
from
that
they
may
not
want
to
talk
to
their
park
owners
if
they
have
something
negative
to
say,
and
vice
versa,
but
they're
really
trying
to
work
together,
as
evidenced
by
that
memo
in
or
the
letter
in
2020
that
was
referenced.
A
So
I
would
encourage
us
to
do
everything
we
can
to
bring
opposite
groups
together
so
that
they
can
hear
collectively
what
the
issues
are
and
I
would.
I
would
suggest
the
same
with
the
tenants
and
the
property
owners.
I
am
going
to
move
along
to
the
draft
report
as
it
relates
to
the
rent
registry
topic
area,
one
and
just
piggyback
on
something
that
vice
mayor
kamehameh
mentioned
that
we,
the
The
Proposal
here
and
I,
would
encourage
us
not
to
do
this
is
that
we
include
all
rental
properties.
All
rental
properties
include
single
family.
A
A
The
other
comment
or
concern
I
have
is
that
one
of
the
bullet
points
says
that
establishing
this
registry
would
enable
you
to
proactively
notify
owners
and
tenants
when
there's
a
violation
of
rents
being
raised
above
five
percent,
anyone
can
raise
their
rent
above
five
percent
if
it
is
not
a
rent,
controlled
property.
We
have
not
changed
that
ordinance,
and
this
implies
that
we
are
so
I.
A
Don't
want
to
see
this
come
forward
to
me,
either
at
CED
or
at
the
city
council
level,
where
it
says
that
we're
going
to
increase
we're
going
to
be
watching
when
landlords
are
raising
their
rent,
five
percent,
if
they
are
legally
allowed
to
do
so,
there
are
places
that
they
are
not
and
and
Rachel
I
know
you.
You
shook
your
head.
Yes,
so
you
know
that
these
are
LS
act
properties.
These
are
affordable
housing
projects.
A
These
are
three
units
and
above
of
a
certain
age
dwelling,
so
for
us
to
say:
well,
you
can
only
property
only
only
charge
five
percent
or
increase
that
isn't
accurate
for
the
law
and
that
sets
us
up
for
a
huge
lawsuit,
I
think
so
I
I
would
hope.
We
don't
see
that
come
forward.
Can
you
tell
me
why
this
or
maybe
the
consultant
needs
to
tell
me
why
this
is
in
there,
because
this
is
a
consultant's
report.
Y
A
Y
What
are
what
we're
working
on
now
is
the
drafting
of
a
three-year
strategic
plan
and
that
plan
itself
would
first
be
taken
to
hcdc
the
Community
Housing
and
Community
Development
commission
for
further
comment
and
discussion,
and-
and
we
would
incorporate
any
recommendations
from
that
commission
before
we
brought
it
to
council.
It
probably
more
likely
Fall.
A
Okay
and
the
idea
is
that
Council
would
likely
adopt
it
in
fall,
I,
I'm,
just
thinking
of
Copa
and
how
we
asked
for
an
investigation,
and
it
came
back
a
million
dollars
later
and
two
and
a
half
years,
a
million
dollar
cost
later
and
two
and
a
half
years
later,
with
a
proposal
that
we're
going
to
vote
on
tomorrow.
So
I'm
very
concerned
that
this
just
goes
straight
to
council
and
we
won't
have
had
an
opportunity
to
vet
it
somewhere.
AB
Thank
you.
Yes,
thank
you,
chair,
Foley,
I.
Think
if
it's
the
desire
of
the
committee
to
see
the
draft
recommendation,
the
final
report
before
going
to
city
council
that
staff
can
certainly
come
back
I
would
suggest
that
perhaps
it
might
be
after
staff
presents
to
the
Housing
Community
Development
commission
perhaps
get
their
input
and
then
bringing
back
to
this
committee
for
further
evaluation
and
input
by
the
committee.

As
a
result
of
these
critical
needs
that
focus
on
decreasing
homelessness.
Today's
homelessness
annual
report
focuses
on
programs
that
align
with
the
community
plan
and
are
administered
through
the
city's
housing
department.
Only
in
addition
to
these
foundationally
important
efforts,
we
know
that
the
city
also
has
a
significant
role
in
managing
the
impacts

There
are
many
Pathways
to

The
9645
people
who
were
housed
reflect
multiple
pathways,
some
moved
into

with
the
assistance
of
a
rapid
rehousing
program.
Some
received
assistance
at
an
interim

program
and
then
moved
into
permanent
housing,
some
reunited
and
moved

received
assistance
from
the

It's

We've
increased

by
15
percent
since

there
are
another
384

in

more

searching
for
a
unit
in
which
to
use
their
Housing
Voucher
have
the
highest
rates
of
exits
to
permanent
housing.
AD
We
must
continue
to
increase
the
capacity
of
permanent
Housing
Programs.
If
we
want
to
increase
positive
outcomes
for
shelter
participants,
we
have
significantly
narrowed
the
gap
between
inflow
and
housing
placements
when
we
began
the
work
outlined
in
the
community
plan
for
every
one
household.
Moving
into
permanent
housing,
another
two
and
a
half
three
people
became
homeless.
AD
We've
narrowed
this
Gap
by
both
increasing
the
number
of
housing
placements
annually
and
reducing
the
number
of
people
experiencing
homelessness
for
the
first
time
in
2022
for
every
household
moving
to
permanent
housing,
another
1.7
household
became
homeless.
For
the
first
time
we're
narrowing
that
Gap.
AD
AD
AD
Housing
department
prioritizes
permanent
Housing
Programs
to
address
the
homeless
crisis,
since
the
single
greatest
systemic
cause
of
homelessness
is
the
lack
of
permanent,
affordable
housing.
Housing
Solutions
include
temporary
and
permanent
opportunities
to
serve
individuals
and
families
experiencing
homelessness.
AD
AD
F
AD
AD
Because
three
quarters
of
the
homeless
population
lives
outside
in
San
Jose
bringing
services
to
them
is
critical
to
connect
them
to
the
Region's
system
of
care,
including
direct
access
to
housing
programs,
crisis
interventions
provided
essential
basic
needs,
services
to
unsheltered
individuals
and
Families
programs
included.
Outreach
and
engagement,
enhance
basic
needs,
services
and
encampments.
AD
As
a
city
initiative,
roadmap
I
will
focus
on
homeless
Outreach.
For
this
slide,
the
city
funded
four
Outreach
programs
in
fiscal
year,
2122
combined
28
percent
of
participants
enrolled
in
Outreach
exited
to
permanent
housing.
Due
to
this
due
to
the
design
of
a
couple
of
the
city-funded
Outreach
programs,
as
well
as
Staffing
challenges.
Overall,
they
did
not
meet
the
38
county-wide
benchmarks
of
Ed
of
exits
to
permanent
housing.
AD
So
again,
the
homelessness
annual
report
covers
how
the
housing
department
spent
approximately
36
million
dollars
on
programs
serving
individuals
and
families
experiencing
homelessness.
This
is
the
housing
Department's
report
and
the
the
recommendation
is
to
accept
our
report
and
cross-reference
to
Council
in
May
and
with
that
we're
open
to
questions.
E
But
you
made
it
kind
of
nicely
for
this
today
and
thank
you
that
you're
trying
to
talk
about
on
house
issues
at
this
time,
good
luck
to
how
it
can
be
an
open
conversation
and
that
I'm
learning
that
you
know
being
unhoused
at
all,
it
doesn't
have
to
at
all
mean
being
illegal
and
IT
unhouse
issues,
that's
an
important
concept,
I'm
learning
and
understanding
and
I
hope,
and
how
we
talk
about
this
issue.
We
talk
about
unhoused
in
terms
that
they're
not
illegal
and
and
what
can
be
conversation
and
dialogue.
E
Those
two
concepts
help
a
lot
and
go
a
long
way
towards
towards
addressing
all
of
our
issues,
basically
with
with
young
house
things.
So
good
luck
and
thank
you
for
this
item
today.
I
hope
you
have
long
explanations
and
descriptions
and
good
conversations
on
this
matter
here
at
public
meeting
time.
Thank
you
back.
I
I
I
I
mean
I
know
that
there
are
other
cities
who
specifically
say.
Well,
you
know
these
are
funds
that
are
paid
for
by
you
know
your
neighbors
here
in
the
local
area
and
so
I,
just
I'm
just
curious
as
to
the
the
the
15
I
know
it's.
It
doesn't
seem
like
a
lot,
but
when
you
have
so
much
in
need,
you
know
I
I,
just
curious
yeah.
AD
You're,
it's
a
good
question,
vice
mayor.
The
way
that
I
would
answer
that
is
we
work
so
closely
with
the
county
and
they're
so
and
the
county.
You
know
we're
always
aligned
with
with
the
same
types
of
programming
and
they're,
also
putting
resources
and
funding
into
the
homeless
system
and
they're
serving
so
many
people
from
San
Jose
as
well,
and
so
we're
just
one
resource
for
San
joseans
but
I
feel
like
and
we're
not
the
only
ones
who
are
serving
the
San
Jose
residents.
It's
it's
the
county
as
well.
AD
I
How
are
we
going
to
prioritize
those
few
dollars
to
get
to
the
people?
Who
really
are
the
people
in
our
community
right?
So
I
think
that's
one
thing
and
you
know
I
also
think
about
you
know
how
things
get
prioritized,
and
maybe
this
is
like
another
discussion
at
another
point
in
time,
but
you
know
I
mean
prioritizing
those
who
perhaps
you
know
sort
of
are
on
the
brink
of
because
they
can't
pay
their
rent
or
what
have
you?
I
You
know
the
prevention
part,
you
know
and
maybe
put
more
resource
I
mean
I'd
rather
put
15
more
in
resources
to
prevent.
Because
then
you
don't
you
don't
end
up
with
dire
consequences
of
someone
having
no
shelter
so
I
I
think
that
as
we
kind
of
Juggle,
this
I
hope
that
we
can
reconsider
how
we're
going
about
it,
because
I
do
know
that
other
locate.
Other
cities
are
specifically
helping
their
residents
in
their
cities.
I
AC
If
I
I
just
wanted
to
respond
vice
mayor
first
on
your
point
on
being
very
strategic
with
our
funds,
the
housing
department
agrees
completely
and
I.
Think
there'll
be
some
policy
and
resource
decisions
that
the
mayor
and
Council
will
have
to
make.
For
example,
around
measure
e
we
have
a
allocation
or
a
allocation
plan
for
measure
e
that
allocates
10
percent
of
our
measure.
E-Funds
to
prevention.
AC
The
housing
department
would
want
to
ensure
that
stays
in
place,
if
not
more
because
we
agree,
it
is
more
costs
effective
and
less
traumatic
for
the
household
involved
if
they
can
keep
their
housing
versus
experiencing
homelessness
or
losing
their
housing.
So
we
agree
wholeheartedly
on
that
point,
and
I
did
also
second
want
to
clarify
our
funding.
AC
So
San
Jose
money
has
to
be
used
for
San,
Jose
household,
so
I'll
give
you
an
example:
are
all
of
our
HUD
money,
the
whole
alphabet,
soup
of
cdbg
and
ESG
and
home
those
have
to
be
used
on
San
Jose
households
in
the
city
of
San
Jose
and
in
very
specific
census,
tracts
low
income
census
tracts.
So
we
are
spending
San
Jose
money
in
San
Jose
on
San
Jose
residents.
Another
example
is
our
interim
housing
all
of
our
eihs
and
bhcs
serve
San
Jose
residents.
AC
We
do
verify
where
someone
is
coming
as
Kelly
mentioned.
We
verify
it
by.
Where
was
your
last
note?
Where
was
your
last
address?
Where
do
you
spend
your
time?
Where
do
your
kids
go
to
school?
Those
are
things
we
ask
people,
even
though
they
may
be
experiencing
unsheltered
homelessness.
We
ask
them
those
questions
to
verify.
AC
They
are
indeed
San
Jose
residents,
so
I
think
what
Kelly
was
trying
to
explain
is
that
the
money
that
you
see
in
our
report
of
what's
spent
on
homelessness,
doesn't
capture
the
full
picture
of
what's
spent
in
San
Jose,
because
the
county
also
funds
services
and
programs
for
people
experiencing
homelessness
that
are
not
included
in
our
budget.
So
I'll
give
you
an
example:
they
fund
an
interim
program
in
San
Jose
called
Pedro
Street
that
does
serve
San
Jose
residents,
and
we
don't
that's
not
here
in
our
report.
AD
Can
I
just
make
one
point
of
clarification
too,
and
that's
exactly
right
when
I
was
talking
about
the
84
percent
of
those
housed
in
the
last
three
years,
that
was
progress
on
the
entire
system
of
care,
so
County
Wide.
So
I
don't
know
if
that
was
clear.
So
84
percent
of
the
over
9
500
people
who
have
been
housed
were
affiliated
with
San
Jose,
so
I
just
wanted
to
make
that.
I
Yeah,
that's
that's
very
helpful
and
and
I
think
that
those
types
of
clarifications
are
extremely
helpful
because
if,
if
you
don't
give
me
the
whole
picture
when
you're
talking
about
well,
this
is
San
Jose.
This
is
not.
This
is
the
county
and
it
becomes
a
little
bit
sort
of
like
fuzzy,
and
so
that's
why
I
I
was
I
wanted
to
clarify,
because
I
do
know
that
we
will
come
to
a
point
in
time
where
we
are
going
to
have
less
dollars
right.
I
C
So
all
the
efforts
you're
putting
in
bringing
this
problem
in
front
of
the
people
helping
them
understand
it
that
why
people
are
homeless,
I
think
it
helps
them
generate
some
sympathy,
and
hopefully
we
can
understand
each
other
better
in
this
case
and
get
to
the
real
problem
solving,
rather
than
wondering
about
what
the
motives
are
of
one
side
versus
the
other.
So
I
have
a
couple
of
questions
I've
seen
report
where
it
was
shown
somewhere
around
120
530
million
dollars
during
the
pandemic
were
spent
on
rental
assistance.
C
Primarily,
what's
the
overlap
in
here
the
numbers
you
reported
in
terms
of
addressing
the
homelessness
problem
or
the
potential
homeless,
because
I
hope
those
the
rental
assistance
prevented
people
becoming
homeless.
So
if
you
can
help
explain
the
overlap
of
this
effort
or
how
it
supplemented
this
effort,
that
would
be
helpful
with
that.
AC
So
this
report
covers
last
fiscal
year,
June
to
July
the
majority
of
that
emergency
state
and
federal
emergency
rental
assistance
was
all
used
up
by
the
end
of
last
fiscal
year,
but
we
do
I
think
where
the
interplay
is
council.
Member
is
in
the
the
inflow,
what
we
call
the
inflow,
but
that's
the
number
of
people
who
who
enter
our
homeless
and
housing
system
for
the
first
time
seeking
help
and
in
20
19
that
number
used
to
be
for
every
one
person
we
housed.
AC
AC
So
you
can
see
and
I
think
one
of
the
slides
Kelly
presented.
We
are
bringing
that
info
number
down,
I!
Think
right!
Now
it's
for
every
one
person
we
house
1.7
enter
our
system
for
the
first
time,
so
I
think
there's
two
reasons
for
that.
One
is
what
you
just
said:
all
of
that
federal
U.S,
treasury
and
state
money
for
emergency
rental
assistance,
helped
with
that
inflow
reduction,
but
at
the
same
time,
locally
we've
been
putting
more
money
into
homelessness
prevention.
AC
We
this
current
year
that
we're
in
San
Jose
is
the
largest
funder
of
our
homelessness
prevention
system.
We
funded
a
little
over
8
million
a
year,
and
if
we
want
to
continue
to
reduce
that
inflow,
we
have
to
keep
making
those
investments
in
homelessness
prevention
and
keep
scaling
the
program.
That
program
is
certainly
not
meeting.
AC
C
P
C
Is
that
going
to
have
an
impact
on
the
number
of
inflows,
because
you
said
our
inflow
has
decreased,
which
is
what
is
making
us
optimistic
that
one
of
these
days
we're
going
to
solve
the
problem?
Okay,
so
are
we
to
worry
about
that?
Their
one-time
assistance
is
gone
and
and
and
our
inflow
is
likely
to
be
up.
AC
The
short
answer
is
yes,
I
would
worry,
so
the
housing
department
still
has
a.
We
have
an
eviction
diversion
and
settlement
program
that
is
part
of
our
overall
kind
of
rent,
stabilization
and
tenant
protection
program
where
we're
in
the
courts,
the
unlawful
detainer
course
or
the
eviction
courts
the
two
days
a
week
that
those
hearings
are
scheduled.
We
have
housing
departments,
staff
there
who
are
working
with
mediators
and
the
judges
and
both
sides
to
reach
settlements
where
we
can
so
ensuring
that
that
program
continues.
Next
fiscal
year
is
really
critical.
AC
I
think
we
provide
you
quarterly
the
number
of
unlawful
detainers
that
we're
seeing
through
our
tenant
protection
ordinance
and
then
the
courts
are
not
so
eager
about
us
sharing
data
publicly,
but
they
are,
they
do
give
the
housing
department
staff
some
data
that
they're
seeing
and
we
are
seeing
an
increase
in
unlawful
detainers,
which
is
the
eviction
process.
Thank.
C
C
AC
C
Things
I
appreciate
that
okay,
so
final
point
to
clarify.
So
the
numbers
which
we
reported
in
this
report-
or
we
saw
in
this
report,
showed
this
many
preventions
these
many
taken
care
of
they
do
reflect
the
effect
of
the
money,
the
one-time
money
which
came
in
there.
It's
not
all
the
money
which
we
locally
provided
or
the
county
provided
right.
D
The
original
first
and
secondary
of
item
d.4
of
the
first
motion
to
just
accept
the
staff
report
was
Council
vice
mayor,
kame
and
council
member
Torres.
So
I
just
want
to
confirm
that
vice
mayor
May
then
rescinded
that
motion
to
make
the
second
motion
to
accept
staff
Report
with
additional
direction
for
staff
to
return
to
CED,
with
a
draft
recommendation
after
presenting
to
the
Housing
Development
commission
and
that
that
motion
was
seconded
by
council
member
Bacha.
A
J
E
I
had
some
important
words
that
needed
two
minutes,
but
I
guess
that's
the
way
the
cookie
crumbles,
the
way
the
ball
bounces
I
am
going
to
speak
for
one
minute
on
the
subject
of
I
want
to
talk
about
the
sjpoa
things
and
I'm
gonna
just
have
to
wait,
I
guess,
I,
guess
I'll
just
offer
my
basic
feelings.
You
know
just
really
work
on
openness
and
that
as
we,
we
really
want
to
build
the
future
of
community
and
with
our
police
departments.
E
At
this
time
we
have
to
learn
how
to
begin
to
re-acknowledge,
reimagine
ideas
and
working
towards
community
policing
and
a
whole
Community
effort.
That
includes
oversight.
That
includes
you,
know
good
guidelines
and
Community
participation
practices.
It's
those
things
that
we
need
to.
It
is
time
we
can
talk
about
those
things
again.
Instead
of
more
and
more
and
more
and
more
police,
that's
my
feelings
and
good
luck.
How
we
can
do
that
it!
It
can
be
good.
We
don't
have
to
learn
how
to
do
that.
