A
Community
and
economic
development
committee
and
it's
1
30,
so
why
don't
we
get
started?
Can
we
take
a
roll
call?
Please.
B
A
A
Great,
thank
you.
Thank
you
for
being
here.
We
have
three
things
on
the
reports
that
we
will
be
hearing
in
a
little
bit
and
we
just
have
a
couple
of
things.
First,
we're
going
to
review
the
work
plan.
Does
anyone
have
any
questions?
Any
committee
members
have
any
questions
on
the
work
plan.
E
B
F
B
F
A
Foley
aye.
Thank
you
great.
Thank
you,
councilmember
perales,
for
making
sure
that
I
do
what
I'm
supposed
to
do
here.
The
next
item
is
a
consent
item.
I
know
we
don't
have
a
presentation,
but
I
believe
that
there
are
members
of
the
public
who
would
like
to
speak
so
under
com.
This
is
the
opportunity
for
anyone
who
would
like
to
address
specifically
this
item
arts,
commission
annual
report
and
work
plan.
D
D
Ma'am,
I
was
skipped
over.
I
raised
my
hand
twice
I
on
the
last
item.
May
I
speak
to
it,
please
sure?
Okay,
thank
you
guys
and
please,
whoever
is
watching
the
the
the
thing
to
tell
congress
congress.
I
just
promoted
you
pam,
a
council
person.
Foley
who's
got
their
hand
up.
You
need
to.
You
need
to
really
watch
who's,
got
their
hands
up.
D
Okay,
I
draw
your
attention
to
the
to
the
memo
on
by
ms
howie
regarding
the
hcdc
work
plan
I
have
put
in
as
an
individual,
a
pra,
so
I
can
get
to
the
bottom
of
what
exactly
happened,
that
that
did
not
allow
these
appointments
to
get
through
in
a
timely
manner.
The
hcdc
could
not
have
a
meeting
could
take
no
action.
D
Also
our
the
retreat
was
cancelled.
I
have
a
document
in
my
hand,
dated
may
3rd
that
shows
that
council
person,
maya
esparza,
did
an
outstanding
job
and
put
forward
her
appointment
on
may
3rd
and
yet
that
appointment
never
made
its
way
to
you
to
the
council,
so
it
could
be
approved
had
that
appointment
that
timely
appointment
been
made
been
approved,
the
hcdc
would
not
have
had
to
have
a
the
retreat
canceled
nora
would
have
had
to
have
a
meeting
where
we
couldn't
take
any
action.
D
A
Okay,
other
public
comlance,
specifically
in
related
to
the
consent
item.
C
Great
well,
thank
you
for
the
last
speaker,
martha
commenting
that
you're
supposed
to
take
public
comment
on
all
your
items
really
appreciate
that
martha.
So
I'd
like
to
comment
on
the
hcdc
first
and
then
I
want
to
comment
on
the
arts.
Commission.
Okay,
so
that's
what
I'm
going
to
do
so
you
have
two
minutes
to
get
in
both.
Why
why
we
should
have
had
one
we
should
have
had
two.
I'm
sorry.
C
Right,
thank
you
all
right.
The
housing
commission
issue
and
and
in
terms
of
the
arts
commission
combined.
Thank
you
is
that
basically,
the
I
guess,
I'm
you're
hearing
me
good.
So
basically
the
issue
of
the
arts
commission
being
funded
through
hotels,
that
that
is
our
what
we
call
our
transient
occupancy
tax,
that's
actually
promoting
a
a
bad
behavior
which
is
traveling,
and
so
we
have
to
start.
C
C
Projects
and
and
economic
growth
that
is
connected
to
fossil
fuels,
and
that
has
to
be
disconnected.
We
need
to
stop
economic
growth.
That
is
how
we
will
have
a
livable
planet.
So
when
our
arts
commission
is
connected
to
our
transient
occupancy
tax
that
needs
to
stop
and
then
in
terms
of
the
rhc
well,
the
hc
dc
is
that
I
am
envisioning
a
way
that
we
could
build
housing
at
615
stockton
avenue
to
buy
it
for
the
three
million
dollars,
or
so
that
the
builder
wants
the
developer
and
to
create
housing.
C
That
is
four
stories
tall,
with
one
story
underneath
and
three
three
of
these
around
a
community
garden
and
that
what
we're
building
is
housing
for
both
homeless
and
educators
that
they
would
live
together.
24
7..
This
is
a
christian
concept
that
I
saw
in
other
housing
development
issues
that
they
live
with
the
unhoused
and
that
the
issue
is
is
to
both
live
together.
C
To
learn
to
live
without
fossil
fuels,
learn
to
live
without
waste
and
learn
to
live
without
plastics,
that
we
need
a
sustainable
model
for
all
of
our
works
going
forward
in
order
to
have
a
livable
planet,
and
so
that's
how
we
live
together
and
solve
the
homeless
problem
by
putting
them
all
of
us
to
become
patrons
of
husbandry,
and
that
would
be
the
curriculum
is
to
growing
food
and
sustainable
lifestyles
through
no
fossil
fuels.
No
race
and
no
plastic
use
curriculum.
Thank.
G
All
right,
thank
you,
blair,
beekman
here.
Thank
you,
council
person
foley,
I
think
you're
trying
to
say
you
can
combine
the
work
plan,
approval
and
the
consent
calendar
items
into
one
public
comment
time.
You
can
at
least
do
that.
Thank
you.
I'd
like
to
speak
on
the
hcdc
issues
at
this
time.
G
It
was
my
understanding.
I've
been
writing
a
few
letters
around.
You
know,
city
city
government
around
on
this
subject.
It
was
an
understanding
and
feeling
that
you
know
there's
there's
kind
of
some
last-minute
efforts
to
try
to
bring
around
the
concepts
of
a
advocacy
representation
onto
the
commission
boards.
G
At
this
time
you
know,
homeless,
advocacy,
disabled
advocacy
and
and
people
were
just
kind
of
holding
the
door
you
know
to
to
bring
on
that
those
sort
of
practices,
but
people
you
know
from
from
those
respective
communities
are
still
concerned
about
full
commission
ideas
for
the
future
of
homelessness
and
and
disabled
issues,
and
also
you
know,
citizen,
police,
review
and
and
technology
review
oversight.
G
Programs
commissions
as
well
so
dev
davis,
has
approved
something
in
june
for
a
study
of
a
full
commission
process
that
will
that
will
be
returned
to
city
council
back
in
in
upcoming
june,
this
upcoming
june.
So
I
think,
there's
also
an
equity.
The
new
reimagined
equity
roundtable
is
going
to
be
starting
up
in
january.
G
I
I
think,
the
the
the
representation
of
commission
persons
at
this
time
idea
may
be
put
on
hold
and
that's
why
there
was
a
delay
for
martha
and
others.
I
think
those
questions
are
being
answered
now.
G
Good
luck!
How
we
do
that!
I
don't
know
if
the
representation
process
will
come
through
good
luck,
how
you
can
organize
it,
I'm
trying
to
explain
here
what
I've
been
asking
around
and
learning
about,
and
good
luck
how
we
can
move
forward.
I
hope
this
can
be
a
description
of
what
I
think
is
kind
of
maybe
possibly
happening
at
this
time.
Thank
you.
F
My
name
is
molly
macleod.
Thank
you,
chair
for
taking
this
item
off
of
consent
calendar
as
I've
requested.
I
appreciate
your
advocacy
for
people
with
disabilities.
That's
shown
up
in
many
different
ways.
F
I
am
requesting
that
an
additional
work
plan
item
be
attached
to
the
arts
commission,
specifically
objective
12,
monitor
and
advise
on
cities,
accessibility,
planning
for
the
office
of
cultural
affairs,
the
actions
review
reports
and
monitor
for
disability,
inclusion
and
accessibility
practices
provide
input
on
disability,
inclusion
and
accessibility,
best
practices
for
items
coming
before
the
arts,
commission
and
the
time
period
periodically
throughout
the
year.
So
this
would
be
an
alignment
with
the
existing
proposal
for
the
work
plan.
F
F
Two
folks
submitted
comments,
but
not
in
time
for
them
to
be
read.
One
nancy
cavallones,
who
is
deaf
and
catherine
hedges,
who
is
a
disabled
artist,
also
support
this
request
and
provided
reasons.
My
reasons
have
to
do
with
the.
What
we're
seeing
is
progress,
for
example,
having
the
public
comment
with
the
agenda
item
number
and
the
directions
and
having
this
enlarged
font.
Those
are
things
that
I
and
others
had
requested,
and
it's
happened
because
we've
been
bringing
up
accessibility
issues.
F
H
Thank
you,
chair,
foley,
rosalind,
huey,
deputy
city
manager
and
first
want
to
thank
molly
and
others
regarding
their
interest
to
make
sure
that
we
have,
as
many
of
our
residents
here
in
the
city,
have
access
to
what
they
want
to
be
involved
in,
as
it
relates
to
city
government
and
clearly,
as
it
relates
to
the
arts.
Commission.
H
Obviously,
just
like
any
other
city
body
they're
required
and
its
operators
are
required
to
comply
with
all
federal
state
and
local
regulations,
as
it
relates
to
accessibility,
and
I
would
just
also
add
that
the
arts
commission
continues
to
improve
upon
their
virtual
meetings.
I
know
that,
most
recently
they
have
added
closed
captioning
and
they
will
continue
to
do
so
throughout
their
throughout
the
fiscal
year.
So
with
that,
we
think
it's
not
really
a
need
to
add
a
new
objective
to
the
work
plan,
but
this
is
actually
our
normal
course
of
business.
A
D
B
I
E
J
E
J
Nancy
klein
thank
you
very
much.
Sharon
anthony
klein
director
of
economic
development.
I
really
appreciate
the
opportunity
just
to
say
a
few
things
as
overview
to
the
items
we
see
today.
Instead
of
giving
a
preamble
to
each
item
and
having
these
three
things
on
the
agenda
together
really
provides
an
opportunity
to
look
at
an
overview
looking
at
the
economy
and
a
snapshot
of
the
economy
today,
as
well
as
being
able
to
look
discreetly
at
the
business
of
the
arts,
which
is
very
important,
as
well
as
an
update
from
team
san
jose.
J
A
Wonderful,
thank
you
nancy.
I
really
look
forward
to
these
three
two
reports,
because
I
do
see
them
interconnected.
It
come
the
arts.
Community
community
is
far
from
recovering
and
team
san
jose
is
very
much
connected
to
the
arts
community,
as
well
as
they
host
events
that
brings
individuals
and
energy
and
vibrancy
into
the
city
of
san
jose
and
then
the
economic
status
report.
A
recovery
status
report
was
is
very
helpful
and
gives
us
some
idea
of
what
our
small
businesses
are
going
through.
A
H
You
chair,
foley
and
good
afternoon
committee
members,
it's
great
to
have
quality
time
with
you.
This
afternoon
I
am
carrie
adams
hafner,
I'm
the
director
of
the
office
of
cultural
affairs
for
the
city
and
also
assistant
director
of
the
office
of
economic
development
and
cultural
affairs.
I'm
here
today
with
my
co-presenter
and
partner
connie
martinez.
H
She
is
the
ceo
of
sv,
creates
sp
creates,
is
a
non-profit
which,
like
the
office
of
cultural
affairs,
is
a
service
provider
for
our
arts
community.
They
have
different
strategies
in
which
they
help
support
and
lift
up
the
arts
in
our
region,
and
they
serve
a
slightly
broader
region,
and
that
is
the
county
of
santa
clara.
So
connie
and
I
like
to
say
that
we're
tied
at
the
hip
we've
been
long
time.
H
Partners
sp,
creates,
has
done
a
lot
for
the
city
over
the
years
and
connie
as
a
leader
has
done
a
lot
for
the
city
over
the
years
prior
to
being
with
sb
creates.
She
was
the
ceo
of
first
act.
First
act
did
many
incredible
things,
including
the
new
model
of
the
school
of
arts
culture
at
mhp.
They
incubated
it.
They
incubated
the
multicultural
arts
leadership
initiative
also
prior
to
that
she
was
the
ceo
of
the
children's
discovery
museum.
H
So
she
has
a
lot
to
say
and
a
great
insight
and
wisdom
we
partner
together
regularly
on
different
studies
around
the
art
sector.
So
we
want
to
ensure
that
we're
taking
the
pulse
of
what's
going
on
in
our
art
sector
and
also,
therefore,
it
informs
what
we
can
do
to
better
serve
it.
So
that's
really
the
essence
of
today's
presentation.
H
K
Thank
you
pam
and
carrie.
Thank
you
for
that
great
introduction.
Could
we
have
the
slides
come
up,
who
I'm
not
certain
who's
controlling
those.
K
Okay,
maybe,
while
you're
doing
that,
I'm
going
to
just
summarize
what
I'm
going
to
cover
today,
which
is,
I
want
to
highlight
what
makes
we
just
completed
this
research
project
that
we
had
started,
or
we
had
done
before
10
years
ago,
and
this
essentially
is
the
same-
consulting
team,
creative
community
builders
who
did
the
same
work
together.
So
we
have
some
comparisons
and
what
we're?
What
I'm
going
to
showcase
or
highlight?
Is
you
know
what
are
the
the?
K
How
do
what
makes
our
ecosystem
different
than
other
regions,
as
well
as
to
point
out,
what's
changed
over
this
last
10
years
and
then
describe
or
maybe
I
should
say,
remind
everyone
why
the
arts
matter
and
then,
lastly,
summarize
the
challenges
we
face
and
what
we
are
attempting
to
do
about
it.
So
thank
you
so
who
controls
my
slides?
Is
it
you
carry.
K
Great,
thank
you.
Thank
you.
Thank
you
mike
I'll
point
it
out
when
I'm
ready.
So
this
title
slide.
I
want
to
point
out
that
this
is
a
segment
of
a
mural
painted
by
our
talented
local
artist.
Sam
rodriguez
hope
you
hopefully
you've
seen
it
before
it's
it's
on
8th
empire
and
sam
is
one
of
many
many
many
artists
that
are
part
of
our
arts
and
culture
ecosystem
that
I'm
going
to
be
talking
about
today
before
we
get
into
the
data.
K
I
just
wanted
to
share
kind
of
the
overarching
headline,
and
it
goes
this
way
our
arts
ecosystem
actually
doesn't
look
like
others
across
the
nation
of
equal
size
and
for
cities
and
or
regions.
So
we
we
are
different.
We
are
unique
and
we
lean
small
entrepreneurial,
broadly
diverse,
geographically
distributed
and
culturally
specific.
So
those
are
sort
of
the
attributes
that
the
data
supports
and
what
I
can
say
about
what's
changed
in
the
last
10
years
is
all
of
these
attributes
have
actually
intensified
so
on
to
the
next
slide.
K
Okay,
so
this
this
pie
chart
shows
you
so
the
distribution
of
of
budgets,
budget
size
across
our
ecosystem
and,
as
kerry
said
is.
This
is
santa
clara
county.
We
actually
have
1063
501c3,
non-profit
arts
organizations
in
our
county.
Now
that
may
surprise
you.
What
surprised
me
is
that
this
number
grew
by
60
in
this
last
10
years
now.
K
What
else
I
think
is
very
interesting
is
that
eight
percent,
only
eight
percent
of
our
these
budgets
are
over
500
000,
which
goes
to
my
earlier
comment
that
we
lean
small
and
the
67
percent
are
groups
that
have
actually
have
less
than
50
000
in
expenditures
each
year,
and
what
that
really
means
is
that
these
are
volunteer,
run,
probably
community
and
often
lean
into
the
sort
of
diy
creative
expression
culture
that
we
have
to
give
you
a
sense
of
order
of
magnitude.
K
Our
entire
ecosystem,
the
the
the
expenditures
for
the
entire
ecosystem
is
is
less
than
two
or
three
large
budget
organizations
in
other
places
like
new
york,
san
francisco
and
chicago,
and
I
think
it's
important
to
point
out
that
that
is
not
in
any
way
implying
that
that
it
their
those
ecosystems,
are
better
because
size
does
not
equate
to
value
and
relevance
and-
and
I
think
especially,
we
can
demonstrate
that
in
silicon
valley.
K
So
next
slide,
please.
K
So
this
is
a
san
jose.
We
pulled
out
the
san
jose
cultural
institutions
just
to
compare
to
other
cities
of
like
size
and
san
francisco.
Is
there
because
of
its
representing
sort
of
those
larger
metropolitan
u.s
cities
you
can
see.
We
are
san.
Jose
only
has
three
organizations
with
budgets
of
over
5
million.
K
You
may
be
asking
who
they
are:
it's
the
tech
museum,
the
tech,
interactive,
the
children's
discovery,
museum
and
the
san
jose
museum
of
art,
and
actually,
over
this
last
10
years,
this
contracted,
and
you
may
all
remember
the
the
loss
of
the
american
musical
theater,
the
ballet
san
jose
and
what's
the
third
one
I'll,
remember
it
in
a
minute
I'll,
come
back
to
that.
K
What
I
think
is
interesting
is
that
during
this
time,
what
what
would
we
would
consider,
the
western
you
know,
cult
the
dominant
culture
organizations
that
are,
you
know
the
symphony
opera's
ballets
of
the
the
regions
that
they
they
lost
in
terms
of
their
overall
budget
capacity,
25
million,
while
the
tech
centric
organizations
actually
gained
25
million,
specifically
the
computer
history
museum
and
the
tech
museum.
K
K
So
this
slide
reflects
our
startup
culture.
So,
going
back
to
you
know
the
the
fact
that
our
ecosystem
actually
resembles
the
the
silicon
valley,
culture
that
we
have
of
which
is
entrepreneurial
and
startups.
You
can
see
how
this
has
grown
over
time.
What's
not
obvious
here
is
that
the
percentage
of
culturally
specific
organizations
grew
with
this.
K
So
one
of
my
favorite
slides
because
it
demonstrates
how
our
culturally
specific
organizations
have
shifted
over
time-
and
I
borrowed
from
kamal
ball,
who
you
know
bell
who
houses?
The
cnn
show
the
united
shades
of
the
the
united
states,
united
states
of
america.
So
this
is
the
united
states
of
silicon
valley.
K
So
as
time
as
these
five-year
periods
have
have
advanced,
we
become
much
more
diverse
and,
quite
frankly,
today-
and
this
show
shows
out
or
plays
out
in
the
data
over
10
years-
is
that
we
actually
resemble
who
we
are
more
today
than
we
did
10
years
ago
next
slide.
K
So
this
slide
summarizes
what
I
would
call
the
shift
in
the
arts
and
culture
from
the
20th
century
to
the
21st
century,
and
some
of
it
also
already
reflects
what
I've
already
pointed
out.
You
know
the
21st
century
model
and
economy
is
much
more
entrepreneurial,
leaning,
decentralized.
You
know,
there's
a
lot
more.
Emphasis
on
creative
expression.
Expression
is
in
as
opposed
to
the
observance
of
art.
K
So
all
adding
up
to
that
in
silicon
valley
and
in
the
21st
century
relevance
actually
trumps
excellence,
and
that
does
not
mean
that
quality
doesn't
matter
because
quality
does
quality
matters
to
relevance,
but
it's
also
relative
and
especially
in
a
multicultural
community
like
ours.
Next
slide.
Please
so
I'd
be
remiss
not
to
talk
about
the
value
of
the
arts,
and
there
are
many
many
reasons
that
the
arts
are
value
to
communities.
K
So
what
connects
them
to
this
place
into
each
other
and
the
arts
is
like
one
of
the
the
the
drivers
for
that
connection
then
closely
tied
to
that
is
creating
that
sense
of
community
that
sense
of
place
and
the
joy
and
belonging
that.
I
think
we
could
all
share
experiences
that
we've
had
with
the
arts.
That
is
somewhat
intangible,
but
probably
some
of
the
most
important
reasons
for
a
value.
K
The
statistics
absolutely
support
me.
I
know
you've
got
these
reports
that
kerry
sent
you
that
the
arts
foster
health,
well-being,
quality
of
life,
so
that's
very,
very
important
and
they
also
drive
academic
performance
for
our
children.
The
statistics
are
very
clear
and
I'd
like
to
add
they
also.
They
also
impact
on
social
change,
because
our
artists
are
often
the
voices
of,
and
sometimes
our
conscience,
but
also
visionaries,
and
they
will
challenge
the
status
quo.
K
I
put
the
economic
activity
in
the
fifth
place,
simply
because
we're
not
going
to
compete
with
the
economic
engine
of
silicon
valley,
but
especially
in
san
jose,
where
the
arts
are
so
tied
to
our
small
businesses,
our
downtown
and
that's
true
in
the
the
smaller
towns
as
well.
We
fuel
the
economic
activity
and,
as
carrie
said,
you
know
we're
just
completing
our.
K
I
think
our
I
forget
how
many
years
we've
been
doing
this,
but
the
economic
impact,
so
the
numbers
are
impressive
and
important,
but
they
don't
certainly
compete
with
the
economic
engine
of
silicon
valley.
K
K
We
did
study
the
15
cities
in
san
jose
and
santa
clara
county,
and
I
think
the
total
was
approaching.
30
million
and
san
jose's
portion
of
that
was
22
million,
and
that
includes,
of
course,
the
the
cultural
facilities
that
you
manage
and
own,
but
also
the
grant
programs
which,
by
the
way,
is
seven
times
larger
than
our
next,
the
next
city's
portfolio,
which
is
palo
alto,
seven
times
that
of
palo
alto
and
then,
lastly,
the
the
arts
public
art
is
part
of
that
as
well.
K
Oh,
I
was
going
to
say
that
philanthropically,
that
represents
over
70
of
the
over
all
funding
from
local
governments,
so
very,
very
important,
and
thank
you
for
all
that
you
guys
do.
Development
pattern
is
also
a
challenge.
K
You
know
we
grew
up
as
a
suburban
development
with
a
suburban
development
pattern
and
that
in
essence,
it
does
divide
us-
and
you
know
the
north
grew
into
the
south
and
all
with
all
of
that
came
also
the
infrastructure
challenges
that
impact
all
of
us,
but
it's
not
as
if
we
started
with
some
of
the
center
that
many
of
our
u.s
cities
had
had
and
then
grew
out
into
the
suburbs,
and
we
were
almost
the
opposite.
K
Then
related
is
this
issue
of
invisibility
because
we're
geographically
dispersed
we're
ethnically
dispersed
and
we're
small
and
so
the
it's
very
valuable
to
the
people
who
are
engaged.
But
if
you're
not
engaged,
you
don't
see
it.
Nor
do
we
have
the
large
cultural
institutions,
the
structures,
the
galas
and
the
big
marketing
budgets
that
some
of
our
our
other
cities
across
the
u.s
have.
K
And
lastly-
and
that
was
touched
on
in
the
introductory
comments-
and
and
thank
you
pam
for
for
your
pointing
out
how
important
it
is-
and
you
know
where
the
arts
have
and
artists
have
gone
through
first
to
close
last
to
open
and
they
are
hurting
and
quite
frankly,
but
for
government
intervention
we
would
have
lost
many
of
our
our
arts
organizations.
So
it's
definitely
not
over
and
we
have
a
lot
of
work
to
do.
K
K
We
have
a
lot
to
be
proud
of:
there's
a
rich
fabric
of
arts
and
culture
throughout
our
region,
san
jose
houses,
the
majority
of
that
and
we
need
to
embrace
who
we
are
and
the
strengths
that
this
this
quirky
culture
of
silicon
valley
brings,
namely
the
on
the
the
innovation
that
comes
from
the
the
almost
the
the
startup
culture
that
we
have
and
in
the
diversity.
Those
are
two
primary.
K
We
also
because
we're
small
we're
more
likely
to
form
coalitions
because
nobody
can
go
it
alone
and
those
coalitions,
work
together
and
are
driving
change,
and
we
we
gave
several
examples
in
the
in
the
insert
to
the
business
journal
and
hopefully,
you'll
have
a
chance
to
look
at
that,
and
I
think
it's
important
to
understand
that
we
don't
believe,
there's
one
silver
bullet
there's,
but
we
really
need
to
create
a
web
of
solutions
that
address
the
issue
of
space
and
services
and,
oh
and
quite
frankly,
staffing
is
because
it's
such
an
expensive
place
to
live.
K
And,
lastly,
we
need
to
be
able
to
tell
our
unique
story.
I
don't
think
we
need
to
compare
ourselves
to
other
regions.
We
need
to
tell
our
unique
story
embrace
it
with
with
pride
and
enthusiasm
and
and
be
prepared
to
inspire
others
with
that
story.
K
K
So
that's
where
I
was
going
to
land
carrie.
I
don't
know
if
you
want
to
add
any
texture
to
what
I
said.
H
H
In
your
memo
that
you
can
see
if
you
want
to
really
drill
down
for
some
of
you
that
love
analytics,
but
this
really
reinforces
what
we
have
known
for
a
long
time
that,
because
of
our
demographic
shifts,
people
are
going
to
be
looking
to
san
jose
for
new
models.
How
do
we
embrace
moving
away
from
the
20th
century
model
to
the
21st
century
model?
So
once
again,
you
know
we
take
great
pride
in
what
our
arts
ecosystem
looks
like.
H
I
also
just
want
to
underscore
that
the
city
of
san
jose
is
the
largest
funder
of
the
arts
in
the
south
bay
area.
So
I
want
to
thank
all
the
council
members
for
your
support
of
our
arts
community
and
that
also
this.
These
types
of
reports
really
inform
how
we
go
about
our
programming
and
our
guidelines
and
our
policy
in
the
oca.
H
We
have
a
big
emphasis
on
cultural
participation
and
creative
expression
and
how,
through
that,
it
reinforces
a
connection
to
oneself
a
connection
to
one's
network
of
family
and
friends
and
a
connection
to
community
which
is
really
what
we're
all
about,
and
the
arts
are
critical
to
our
community
and
economic
recovery
and
which
we'll
be
talking
about
a
little
bit
later.
So
thank
you
very
much
for
your
support
and
that
concludes
our
report,
and
this
is
just
an
informational
item.
Thank
you.
A
Great
thank
you,
carey
and
thank
you.
Connie
really
good
information,
and
I
appreciate
the
sv
creates
art
and
culture
attachment
that
we
received.
It
was
really
helpful.
I'm
going
to
quote
you
in
a
in
a
couple
of
minutes,
but
first
I'm
going
to
turn
to
public
comments.
If
you
could
please
focus
on
this
particular
item,
which
is
arts
mean
business,
I
would
be
appreciative.
G
Beekman
hi,
thank
you,
blair
beekman
here.
That
was
an
interesting
informational
report.
Thank
you.
I
have
a
few
concerns
that
previous
art
commissions
and
councils
and
budgeting
of
art
funding
has
very
quite
possibly
been
used
for
the
surveillance
and
technology
purposes
of
our
city.
G
The
big
belly
in
the
downtown
area
is
what
comes
to
mind.
I'm
not
fully.
You
know,
I
don't
know
if
that's
official
facts,
but
I've
heard
the
gossip
around
that
sort
of
subject
and
it's
been
kind
of
a
an
irritant
to
myself
and
and
to
others
as
the
the
concept
of
practicing
big
belly
surveillance
technology
as
artifice
as
art
itself,
and
that
was
this
reasoning
that
it
was
given
some
budget
money.
I
don't
know
how
accurate
that
report
is,
but
that's
what
I've
been
hearing.
G
I
don't
think
we
should
work
that
way
in
the
future
and
I
don't
think
we
should
mix
those
kinds
of
concepts
together.
If
that
is
applicable
here,
I'm
very
serious
about
the
future
of
the
need
of
accountability
and
honesty
and
straightforwardness,
and
how
we
talk
about
our
surveillance
and
technology
practices.
G
It
needs
to
be
a
very,
very
responsible
future.
We
build
for
these
things,
and-
and
these
are
the
ways
we
address
and
avoid
the
future
of
war
and
work
towards
the
ideas
of
peace
and
harmony
and
good
democratic
practices
that
build
those
concepts
to
play.
Games
in
this
way
is
not
a
silicon
valley
future.
I
want
to
be
living
in
so
just
to
be
aware
of
the
subject
matter
and
to
reaffirm
the
seriousness
of
what
good
accountable
practices
can
do
for
ourselves
as
a
community,
and
our
future
is
vitally
important.
G
C
Thank
you.
Well,
I
really
appreciated
the
the
report
and
the
one
thing
that
was
important
was
the
value
of
the
arts
to
deepen
the
attachment
to
place
in
each
other,
create
a
sense
of
community
joy
and
belonging,
foster,
health,
well-being
and
quality
of
life.
The
problem
I'm
having
is
that
we're
not
doing
enough
in
regards
to
our
billboards
that
this
happened
in
my
neighborhood.
That
billboard
was
put
up
on
a
seven-story
building
seven
stories
high
and
seven
stories
wide.
C
And
you
know
whatever,
whatever
planning,
that
the
the
building
was
ugly,
this
was
ugly
and
we
got
built
in
our
neighborhood.
We
don't
have
an
architectural
review
board
that
should
be
part
of
our
community
if
we
value
art
and
we
don't
have
an
architectural
review
board.
So
we
got
a
white
seven
stories
high
and
seven
stories
worldwide
with
no
architectural
details,
nothing
in
it,
no
windows,
nothing,
and
so
I
complained
in
my
neighborhood,
because
it's
right
there
at
whole
foods
and
stockton
and
and.
I
C
Stockton
and
the
alameda
and
then
what
happened
is
I
actually
brought
it
to
deb
davis,
my
council
member
and
complained
about
it,
and
I
wanted
the
city
to
pay
to
have
something
done
on
that
that
building
the
seven
stories
high
seven
stories-
and
that
was
beautiful.
That
was
part
of
nature
that
was
dealing
with
our
climate
crisis,
having
some
type
of
informational
document
attached
to
it
and
dealt
with
our
trees
or
something
that
was
beautiful.
But
what
happened?
Is
it
got
sold
through
deb
davis?
C
It
got
sold
to
the
sap
center
and
the
the
building
itself,
and
it
was
saying
that
it
was
because
it
was
private
property.
But
that's
what
got
put
on
it.
I
was
the
one
who
complained
about
it
that
was
terrible,
and
then
I
can,
you
know,
complain
to
death
and
it
gets
sold
for
for
business
and
the
horribleness
of
that
image
of
the
killing
of
the
okay.
Thank.
A
You
michael
cincini,
5140.
D
You
know
most
state
subsidized
art
just
doesn't
cut
it.
For
me
I
mean
this
sam
rodriquez,
I
looked
at
his
stuff.
You
know
it
just
looks
like
cubist
art
from
1920s,
but
you
know
when
I've
seen
what
san
jose
is
incapable
of
doing
via
art.
I
wouldn't
want
one
penny
on
my
tax
dollars
go
into
it.
You
mean
I
saw
keys
in
cottle,
there's,
there's
a
nice
art
sculpture
that
looks
terrible.
Then
you've
got
the
ruth
bader
ginsburg
mural.
D
You
know
I
mean
all
this
stuff
is
political
right.
It's
left-leaning
political
art
and
I'm
looking
at
sam
rodriguez's
art.
I
mean
I
like
it.
You
know
I
don't
mind,
degenerate
art
once
in
a
while.
But
do
you
see
any
italian
americans
in
it
see
portuguese
people
in
it?
No,
you,
don't
you
only
see
certain
types
of
people
in
it,
which
is
fine.
I'd
like
to
see
everybody
in
it.
D
Something
tells
me
that
this
is
for
a
select
group
of
people,
it's
not
for
the
it's,
not
for
the
regular
everyday
people
and
the
san
jose
museum
of
art,
beautiful,
building,
ugliest
art.
I've
ever
seen
in
my
life.
Whoever
puts
the
art
in
there
should
be
a
shade
of
themselves.
It's
good!
It's
gutter,
art,
it's
not
a
degenerate
art,
it's
terrible,
there's!
No!
It's
artwork!
That
looks
like
a
fit
like
a
failing
society.
You
know
your
society's
failing
when
you
see
the
kind
of
artwork
that
they
have
in
san
jose.
D
That
includes
putting
those
knitted
afghan
quilts
or
whatever
they
are
or
macrame
around
the
palm
trees.
I
mean
that's
art,
really,
that's
art.
Okay,
maybe
paint
the
utility
boxes.
That's
kind
of
that's
not
too
bad.
People
do
a
good
job
with
that.
But
for
the
most
part
there
isn't
any
amount
of
art.
That's
gonna
make
me
go
out
and
go:
oh
wow.
F
This
is
molly
mcleod.
Thank
you
so
much
connie
martinez
for
your
presentation
on
the
arts
mean
business,
the
overview
of
business
of
arts
and
culture
report.
One
of
the
things
I
really
appreciated
is
that
you
described
each
of
the
the
screens
each
parts
of
your
presentation
and
that's
a
part
of
access.
F
My
comments
as
I've
participated
over
the
last
couple
of
years
are
to
it
make
sure
that
people
know
how
to
use
art,
alt
text
to
describe
the
pictures
or
how
to
do
ad
captions
or
audio
description,
and
so
my
challenge
for
each
of
you
who
are
on
this
committee
in
this
meeting
today,
is
to
say
what
are
you
doing
currently
and
how
could
you
improve
the
consistency
for
me
when
I'm
putting
photos
on
social
media,
I'm
having
alt
text
and
then
an
image
description
for
each
of
them,
and
so
that's
a
way.
F
We
can
do
it.
When
I
look,
I
I
differ
with
one
of
the
previous
speakers.
I
actually
have
really
appreciated
robin
train's
work
and
the
con
on
city
hall,
art,
but
I'm
looking
through
right
now
on
that
contract.
The
fourth
amendment
to
agreement
for
consultant
services
between
the
city
of
san
jose
and
robert
dream,
and
there's
a
lot
of
detail
in
there.
F
But
accessibility
is
not
one
of
them,
so
one
of
the
options
that
you
can
do
is
have,
for
example,
qr
codes
with
an
audio
description,
because
you
have
to
be
able
to
already
provide.
What's
the
description
of
what
of
the
the
art
that's
going
to
be
displayed,
you
can
see
examples
of
this
currently
at
palo
alto,
arts
center
and
the
art
of
disability
culture,
and
so
this
is
what
I'm
talking
about
to
be
a
real
nation.
A
Thank
you,
molly
last
speaker
on
this
topic
is
paul
soto
and
paul.
I
want
to
apologize
for
not
calling
on
you
last
time.
I
saw
your
hand
drop,
and
I
thought
that
meant
you
didn't
want
to
comment,
so
I
I
apologize
publicly
for
that
now
we're
now
we're
talking.
We're
on
to
arts
mean
business.
L
L
L
You
know
what
I
would
challenge
any
one
of
these
techniques
sit
here
in
front
of
a
couple
of
chicanos
and
let
them
tell
them
what
it
what
they're
experiencing
as
a
result
of
them
coming
over
here
and
changing
the
culture,
the
language
that
you're
using.
Let
me
say:
let
me
tell
you
something
your
marketers
are
on
point,
but
there
are
people
that
are
listening
and
I
get
these
meetings
and
I
play
them
for
certain
audiences
that
know
how
to
when
you're,
when
you're,
pitching
and
you're
using
language
and
other
clients
at
its
best.
L
Oh
yeah,
yeah
we're
gonna
have
a
demographic
change
like
real,
soon
perales
you're
gonna
not
vote
for
any
kind
of
housing
right.
Just
get
the
mexicans
out.
Remember
all
the
past
meetings,
200
000
people-
I
had
called
it
as
being
within
the
next
five
years
out,
get
all
these
mexicans
the
sons
and
daughters
and
grandkids
of
the
braceros
get
them
out
of
here,
they're
superfluous.
We
don't
need
them
anymore,
bring
in
the
gentrifier.
A
That's
the
end
of
public
comment
going
to
the
committee
first
I'd
just
like
to
center
us
on
what
the
conversation
is
about
here
and
it's
about
our
arts
community,
which
is
robust,
but
small
organizations
who
make
up
a
many
of
those
thousand
plus
businesses
and
I'd
also
like
to
center
us
on
small
business
arts.
A
A
I'd
also
like
to
just
to
quote
you
connie
in
setting
the
stage
before
I
go
to
council
member
mahan
and
then
council,
member
carrasco,
imagine
navigating
a
global
pandemic,
a
racial
reckoning
homeschooling
and
the
social
and
economic
complexities
of
this
world
without
access
to
music,
film,
poetry,
performance,
visual
arts,
cultural
arts
and
festivals.
A
Hard
to
imagine
we
agree,
and
we
rest
our
case.
I
completely
agree
with
you.
It
is
through
the
arts
that
people
have
been
able
to
survive
and
thrive
through,
but
mostly
survive
through
a
really
difficult
time.
Last
year.
In
their
ability
to
express
themselves,
the
only
way
we
haven't
been
able
to
see
expression
is
in
our
performing
arts
and
but
they're
opening
up.
So
we'll
be
able
to
see
that
very
shortly.
I
have
a
few
questions,
but
I
will
defer
to
my
colleagues
first
and
first
I'll
go
to
you,
council,
member
mayhem.
B
Thank
you,
chair
fully
and
thanks
for
the
report
I'll
be
really
quick.
I
appreciate
the
the
report.
I
thought
some
of
the
historical
data
was
was
really
interesting.
I
certainly
learned
a
lot.
I
I
was
hoping
for
more
detail
on
the
last
topic
of
the
slide.
I
was
feeling
the
build
up
to
what
we
can
do
to
support
and
cultivate
and
grow.
B
You
know
our
local
community-based
art
scene
and
and
to
expand
different
forms
of
publicly
accessible
art
in
our
community,
and
I
I
was
before
the
meeting
went
back
to
the
what
I
think
might
be
the
last
arts
master
plan
for
the
city
I
think,
was
2007..
B
I
was
reading
through
those
recommendations,
and
I
was
I
was
just
curious
how
this
connects
to
that
history
and,
if
that's
still
a
framework
that
we're
using,
if,
if
those
recommendations
are
still
valid
or
if
we've
updated
them-
and
I
just
didn't
see
a
newer
arts
master
plan-
and
I
guess
kind
of
related
I'll-
just
sort
of
lump
my
questions
together,
because
they're
all
they're
all
related.
I
guess
I'm
I'm
curious.
You
know
what,
under
the
heading
of
what
we
can
do,
what
are
you
know?
B
B
Obviously
we
seem
to
have
a
fair
bit
of
investment
coming
into
downtown
and
west
san
jose
in
particular,
and
to
what
extent
is
the
office
reaching
out
to
those
investors
and
making
sure
they're
aware
of
of
local
community-based
arts
groups
and
trying
to
encourage
them
to
support
those
groups
and
trying
to
forge
the
coalitions
that
was
mentioned
at
the
very
end,
and
that's
just
one
example,
but
I'm
just
I
just
want
to
push
a
little
on
learning
more
about
kind
of
where
the
presentation
ended.
Essentially.
H
Right,
thank
you,
councilmember
mayhem.
May
I
take
that
question
connie
sure
great.
Thank
you.
So,
first
of
all,
I
just
want
to
say
relative
to
what
we
can
do.
I
would
say,
continue
to
fund
the
arts
and
also,
how
do
we
look
for
opportunities
for
the
arts
to
play
a
role
in
other
civic
issues?
Other
other
speakers
today
have
talked
about
issues
that
they're
concerned
about
whether
it's
ada
or
racial
equity
or
environmentalism.
H
H
Also,
what
we're
really
excited
about
is
this
is
greater
emphasis
on
cultural
participation
and
building
public
will
for
the
artisan
culture
across
the
city.
We
see
that
increasingly
so
that
there's
just
an
increased
greater
demand
for
the
arts
in
all
districts
in
san
jose.
You
asked
about
our
master
plan.
H
We
have
a
master
plan,
it's
called
cultural
connection,
cultural
connection,
informed
our
general
plan,
which,
when
we
had
our
general
plan
adopted,
it
was
the
first
time
that
we
had
an
arts
and
cultural
element
embedded
into
the
general
plan,
and
that
was
a
huge
innovation
for
our
city.
So
that
was
a
really
great
step
forward
now,
as
we're
thinking
about
the
future
of
our
city
that
we're
also
thinking
about
cultural
development.
H
H
The
other
element,
I
would
say,
is
there
is
an
item
on
the
council
prioritization
list,
which
has
been
deferred
because
of
the
pandemic,
but
it
is
top
of
mind
for
us
and
we're
looking
forward
to
advancing
it
and
that
is
exploring
and
our
private
percentage
for
the
art
ordinance
in
the
city
of
san
jose.
H
The
city
of
san
jose
does
not
mandate
that
private
developers
contribute
any
portion
of
their
project
costs
to
incorporating
art
into
their
development,
and
so
that
is
one
of
the
things
that
we're
excited
about
researching
and
coming
back
to
the
full
council
with
a
recommendation
around,
and
I
know
that
many
of
you
specifically
council
member
carrasco,
has
been
a
big
champion
for
that
that
item
getting
on
the
prioritization
list.
So
thank
you.
K
I
was
given
eight
minutes
by
the
way
so,
but
there
are
some
innovative
collaboratives
that
are
going
on
around
space
arts
education.
K
B
Thanks
connie
yeah,
I
think
that's
helpful.
I
mean
I
I
understand
we
have
limited
time
in
these
meetings.
Totally
appreciate
that
I
just
personally
would
as
much
as
the
history
is
interesting,
and
I
I
you
know
certainly
read
read
all
the
attachments.
B
I
would
find
it
more
more
more
interesting
and
maybe
productive
to
spend
more
of
our
time
on.
Where
are
we
going
and
how
can
the
council
support
and
what
what
are
the
forward-looking
strategies
that
we
think
are
gonna,
have
the
most
impact
and
are
we
are
we
doing
anything
outside
of
the
box?
Will
we
wait
to
decide
whether
or
not
we
can
do
a
private
percent
for
the
art?
B
H
M
Thank
you
well,
thank
you,
connie
and
kerry
for
that
presentation.
Just
a
couple
of
things
that
pop
up
for
me.
You
know
I
found
it
really
interesting.
M
M
I
wanted
to
ask
you
where,
where
you
saw
youth
in
this
bigger
picture
when,
when
councilmember
mayhem
talks
about
moving
forward
or
facing
forward,
I'm
really
interested
in
seeing
how
we
deliberately
and
intentionally
fill
that
art
pipeline
and
and
work
with
our
youth,
whether
it's
technical
support
exposure,
you
know
I
just
went
to
the
van
gogh
immersion,
which,
by
the
way
I
I
loved,
when,
when
I
took
my
children
the
last
time
I
before
this
was
right
before
kobit,
I
took
him
for
a
very
short
trip
to
paris.
M
We
could
not
get
into
the
van
gogh
experience
there
and
it
was
so
expensive,
probably
triple
what
we're
seeing
here,
but
the
idea
of
being
able
to
to
bridge
the
gaps
for
children,
who
probably
don't
have
an
opportunity
to
go,
see
and
experience.
Something
like
that.
I
I
I
I
don't
know
what
the
strategies
are,
and
you
may
have
laid
them
out
and
forgive
me
if
I,
if
I
miss
that,
but
truly
how
to
bridge
these
experiences
and
this
wonderful
exposure
to
those
families,
and
especially
those
those
youth
and
I'll
pinpoint
east
side.
M
Union
high
school
district
has
the
biggest
student
population
in
northern
california,
high
school
population,
northern
california,
what
an
a
wonderful
opportunity
to
be
able
to
partner
with
the
district
and
be
able
to
bridge
these
experiences
and
somehow
create
a
pipeline
into
those
creative
arts.
And
so
that's
one
question
is:
what
are
the
plans?
Are
there
any
plans?
How
do
we
significantly
and
intentionally
create
that
pipeline?
M
And
you
know
I'm
going
to
stop
there
before
I
go
on
to
another
comment
that
I
feel
a
need
to
make
in
just
a
second,
oh,
the
well.
The
second
question
to
that
is
also,
if
you
could
elaborate
on
what
happened
with
our
private
percentage
for
art,
because
many
of
us
thought
that
we
had
already
passed
it
in
the
priority
setting
the
mayor's
vote
put
us
over
the
top.
So
I'm
a
little
confused
as
to
why
that's
been
halted.
K
Carrie,
I
think
you
take
the
one
percent
and
I
can
offer
a
comment
or
or
an
answer
on
the
arts
education.
So,
first
of
all,
I
couldn't
agree
with
you
more
and
that
providing
access
to
our
children
is
and
should
be
one
of
the
highest
priorities.
K
The
one
thing
that
we've
been
doing
and
we're
going
to
continue
to
grow.
This
is
that
we've
created
what
we're
calling
a
marketplace
for
teachers
to
go
online
and
with
small
mini
grants,
essentially
purchase
arts,
education
modules
and
we're
focusing
on
title
1
schools,
and
I
think,
of
course,
covid
impacted
our
ability
to
deliver
some
of
that.
But
we
had,
I
think
in
one
of
our
highest
years.
K
I
think
we
touched
at
least
15
000
children
who
wouldn't
have
access
and
that
and
I'm
talking
about
bringing
artists
into
the
classrooms
field
trips,
the
whole
long
list
of
things
we
have,
I
think
40
arts
partners
and
about
80
modules,
so
we'd
like
to
continue
to
grow
that
and
make
that
stronger.
The
second
is,
is
supporting
organizations
like
the
school
of
arts
and
culture
for
after-school
programs,
so
it
requires
it
costs
money
and
especially
those
who
aren't
able
to
access
they
can't
afford.
K
H
Thank
you,
and
in
regards
to
very
briefly
in
regards
to
the
private
percent
for
arts,
as
we
moved
into
the
eoc
activation,
we
had
to
be
very
strategic
and
thoughtful
about
what
our
staff,
our
city-wide
staff
capacity
was,
and
so
my
understanding
is
that,
through
a
council
deliberated
process,
there
was
a
prioritization
of
those
priorities
and
right
now
the
focus
is
really
on
community
and
economic
recovery
roadmap,
which
is
a
later
topic.
H
No,
I
was
just
going
to
briefly
add
to
that.
So
back
in
march,
when
the
city
council
did
approve
the
city
roadmap,
there
were
a
series
of
items
that
had
been
approved
on
the
previous
prioritization
list,
and
so
there
is
a
prioritized
backlog
and
actually
the
percent
for
art
program
is
number
13
on
that
prioritized
backlog.
So
it's
still
an
effort
that
the
that
the
department
will
undertake
is
just
that
we're
going
to
get
to
these
other
priorities.
First.
M
Yeah,
thank
you.
I
appreciate
that
you
know
as
we're
looking
at
recovery
and
recovery
recovery.
Recovery
is
going
to
be
the
name
of
the
game
as
we're
as
we're
as
we're
learning
to
live
with
covet,
and
it's
and
it's
all
its.
M
I
you
know
the
that
priority
that
was
passed
and
carrie
you'll
have
to
remind
me
if
it
was
a
year
ago
two
years
ago.
I
I
don't
remember,
because
we
tried
several
times
to
get
it
through.
We
finally
thought
we
had
it
through.
M
We
were
all
very
excited,
but
it
really
is
a
way
of
generating
some
funds
and
being
able
to
channel
them
directly
into
into
the
hands
of
folks
who
can
provide
and
create
that
those
pieces
for
us
and
and
and
and
create
that
place
making,
and
so
I
just
I
know
that
I
can't
go
back
and
re-prioritize
the
re-prioritization
of
the
priorities.
M
That's
a
multiple,
but
but
this
generates
income
for
us.
It
generates
revenues
and
it
allows
us
to
move
forward
with
recovery,
especially
as
we
look
at
that
diagram
where
it's
it's
moving
into
into
very
grass
root
kind
of
feeling
when
small
entrepreneurs,
which
are
our
artists,
are,
are
receiving
that
income
and
being
able
to
commission
them
so
that
they
can
display
their
artwork
and
and
and
continue
to
provide
for
our
city.
Having
said
that,
I
do
need
to
make
a
comment.
There
was
a
caller
that
called
sam
rodriguez's
artwork
degenerate.
M
What
is
a
degenerate
artwork
and
it's
and
that's
a
shame.
Everyone
has
the
right
to
their
opinion.
I
think
those
comments
are
extremely
outdated.
When
you
look
at
the
at
the
focus
of
this
beautiful,
emerging
artwork,
I
just
had
to
get
onto
his
page
so
that
I
could
look
at
what
it
was
and
and
it's
inviting
it's
exciting.
It's
colorful,
it's
bright,
it's
full
of
joy,
and
I
can
understand
that.
M
Maybe
for
some
folks
that
makes
people
really
uncomfortable
because
they're
used
to
you
know
seeing
the
status
quo
and
status
quo
in
the
city
of
san
jose
will
continue
to
be
challenged
because
we
live
in
such
a
beautifully,
diverse
city.
Where,
again
you
have
a
council,
you
have
stakeholders,
you
have
non-profits,
you
have
private
entities
all
working
together
to
really
emphasize
the
fact
that
we
are
not
going
to
go
back.
We're
not
going
backwards.
We're
going
forward
and
diversity
is
our
strength.
It
is
not
our
weakness
we
embrace.
M
We
appreciate
we
welcome
and
we
encourage
diversity
in
the
city
of
san
jose,
the
third
largest
in
the
state
of
california,
and
you
know-
and
I
I
I
don't
usually
like
to
comment
on
other
people's
comments,
but
I
find
that
to
be
very
small-minded
and
a
very
backward
way
of
thinking.
My
apologies
for
my
own
strong
opinion
and,
and
the
other
is
you
know,
I.
M
I
think
that
with
the
leadership
on
the
council,
as
well
as
on
our
staff
and
as
well
as
the
partnerships
that
we
have
right
now,
I
just
want
to
be
real
clear.
You
know
that
we
nobody's
perfect
san
jose
is
not
perfect
by
any
means,
because
we're
all
human
but
the
fact
that
we
can
all
hold
each
other
accountable
to
make
sure
that
there
is
inclusivity
in
the
work
that
we
do
throughout
the
city.
M
I
think
is
of
paramount
in
making
sure
that
we
are
successful
department,
successful
programs
and
that
we
can
truly
reflect
the
changing
faces
of
america,
and
so
san
jose
is
leading
the
way
and
we
we
we
have
not
just
learned
to
live
with
our
diversity,
but
we
we
truly
again
I'm
going
to
just
keep
re-emphasizing
appreciate
and
encourage
that
diversity.
It's
not
always
easy.
M
I
get
that
change
isn't
easy,
but
but
you
know
I
just
wanted
to
make
clear
to
the
previous
callers
that
when
you
look
around
the
city,
you
know
on
the
east
side,
you
have
abstract
art.
Some
people
are
really
uncomfortable
with
that,
but
it's
beautiful
work
and
it's
done
by
eastside
grown
artists
born
and
raised
on
the
east
side,
who
truly
understand
the
experiences
but
have
traveled
near
and
far
to
to
hone
in
on
their
on
their
talent.
M
And
then
you
have
beautiful
artwork,
downtown
and
eve
and
on
the
west
side
that
reflect
not
just
one
community
but
a
multitude
of
communities.
So
I
just
wanted
to
say
that
I
want
to
thank
you
carrie.
I
want
to
thank
connie.
M
I
want
to
thank
actually
all
of
our
staff,
who
really
encourages
our
are
artists
not
only
to
hone
in
on
their
talent
and
their
creativity,
but
also
to
learn
the
ropes
of
what
it
is
to
be
an
entrepreneur
and
be
successful,
because
I
think
we
need
to
continue
supporting
them
and
providing
the
technical
support.
M
The
last
thing
I'm
going
to
say,
as
I'm
closing,
I
do
hope
that
we
can
figure
out
how
to
bridge
this
beautiful
experience
of
van
gogh
by
the
way
I'm
a
big
fan
of
of
the
art
and
and
I'll
tell
you
as
a
child.
I
grew
up
in
horseshoe,
which
is
on
bird
and
west
virginia.
M
I
went
to
gardner,
then
I
went
to
hoover.
We
ended
up
moving
and
that's
how
I
ended
up
on
the
east
side
at
independence
high
school.
M
The
story
is
long
at
the
age
of
54.,
but
my
love
for
art
really
came
from
the
fact
that
the
city
of
san
jose
at
that
time
had
these
wonderful
programs
at
gardner
community
center,
and
I
got
to
participate
by
dancing
being
on
theater.
You
know
a
lot
of
the
visual
arts
I
was
exposed
because
I
they
took
me
to
a
lot
of
museums
and
lectures
and
truly
that's
where
I
just
I
the
exposure
that
my
mother
could
not
give
me.
M
My
father
could
not
give
me
was
given
to
me
through
public
programming,
which
was
just
critical
and
I'll.
Tell
you
that
my
four
children
have
grown
up
now
in
museums,
not
just
establish
what
we
consider
established
classical
museums,
but
you
know
these
museums
that
are
smaller
offbeat,
that
showcase
a
wide
variety
and
and
when
we
go
and
we
travel,
we
always
hit
up
the
museums,
whether
it's
in
mexico
or
in
europe,
paris
or
or
what
have
you
because
it
it.
It
truly
is
the
reflection
of
the
spirit
of
humanity.
M
So
I
want
to
figure
out
how
we
can
go
ahead
and
get
our
kiddos
into
that
exhibit.
If
I
can
host
one
day,
I'm
sure
some
of
the
other
council
members
would
might
join
in
with
me,
but
if
we
could
host
one
day
as
a
city
council,
so
we
can
open
it
up
just
to
our
kiddos
so
that
they
can
experience
what
we
just
experienced
last
friday.
So
thank
you
so
much
for
that.
E
Yeah,
thank
you.
I
just
wanted
to
echo
the
appreciation
for
the
work
done
in
this
report
and
I
think
that
the
opportunity
that
we
have
to
continue
to
am
I
not
working.
E
Hear
you
sorry
the
opportunity
we
have
to
continue
to
support
our
arts,
I
think,
is
not
only
great,
but
the
the
the
outcomes,
as
I
think
we've
seen
over
the
last
number
of
years,
is,
is
and
can
be
really
beneficial
to
our
community
as
a
whole,
and
I
appreciate
that
the
linkage
there,
the
report
from
the
silicon
valley
or
the
valley
of
of
many
voices
explaining
silver
valley,
silicon
valley's,
cultural
landscape
as
well.
Thank
you
connie
to
you
and
your
team
to
from
sv
creates
for
this.
E
This
great
report
in
regards
to
support-
and
you
you
listed
it
in
your
your
call
to
action.
Councilmember
carrasco
pointed
it
out.
I
think
only
a
couple
council
members
agreed
to
continue
to
prioritize
the
percent
for
arts
as
far
as
in
the
current
work
plan
during
this
covet
year.
E
But
I
know
we'll
have
an
opportunity
to
do
that
again
early
next
year
and
encourage
my
colleagues
along
with
councilman
kadasco.
As
I
know,
she's
been
encouraging
us
and
working
towards
this.
It
was
a
great
win
to
get
the
private
percent
for
the
arts
as
a
priority
for
the
city
right.
It's
it's
sitting
there
on
the
shelf
with
a
number
of
other
things,
and-
and
we
want
to
make
sure
that
we
can
move
forward
on
that,
because
that
will
help
with
getting
resources
and
granted.
E
That's
still
coming
through
us
as
a
government
entity,
but
it's
coming
from
the
private
investment,
the
development
that
is
happening
in
our
city,
and
I
think
that's
where
we're
you
know
we're
lacking
and
certainly
that's
shown
in
the
report,
not
only
in
the
philanthropic
efforts
or
investments,
but
also,
I
think,
in
in
just
private
investment
in
the
arts.
E
The
fact
that
we
are
the
largest
contributor
as
the
public
as
a
public
agency-
it's
I
think
it's
something
to
be
proud
of,
but
it's
also
something
to
scratch
your
head
at,
especially
in
an
area
as
wealthy
as
the
silicon
valley.
To
wonder
why
so
much
of
our
philanthropic
investment
leaves
the
area
or
why
so
much
of
the
resources
that
are
here
don't
actually
translate
into.
E
I
think
great
community
efforts
like
this,
like
any
sort
of
arts
investment.
Quite
frankly,
whether
it
was
personal
investment
on
private
development
which
we're
starting
to
see
a
little
bit
more
of
that.
But
it
traditionally
takes
a
lot
of
encouragement
for
the
philanthropic
investments
and
efforts,
and
so
the
question
and
maybe
connie
you
can
help,
but
because
I
know
you
have
the
call
to
action
that
you
put
in
the
report
there.
E
What
do
you
think
are
some
of
the
strategies
that
you
know
we
can
do.
I
would
say,
leading
by
example,
is
is
one,
and
I
think
we
do
that
here
at
the
city
with
our
policies
with
our
investment.
But
what
more
can
be
done?
Do
you
think
to
try
and
get
more
of
our
our
private
investors
and
developers
and
companies
to
invest
more
in
the
arts
and
and
then
the
philanthropic
efforts
as
well,
which
is
a
big
challenge
for
whatever
industry
you're
in
of
non-profit?
E
K
So
I'd
I'd
love
to
have
a
study
session
just
on
this
topic.
But
my
short
answer
is:
is
that
one
of
the
strategies
is
to
potentially
have
the
call
to
the
to
the
private
sector
to
match
the
county,
the
county
and
the
cities,
funds
in
the
arts-
and
I
mean
it's
a
complicated
and
ecosystem
of
funders
out
there.
But
it
starts
with
relationships
and
I
think,
we're
stronger
if
we
have
those
conversations
together.
E
Yeah,
thank
you,
and
you
know
I
mean
that's
something
that
happens
a
lot
as
we
know
where
we'll
get
challenges
from
private
investment
where
they
want
to
know
what
this
you
know,
the
city
or
the
public
investment
is,
and
in
this
case
it's
already
there
and
it's
not
being
matched
philanthropically
or
by
private
dollars,
and
so
in
essence,
I
think
that's
a
great
challenge
where
we
can
say:
hey,
look
it's
it's
there.
E
It's
there
in
the
millions
of
dollars
every
single
year,
especially
in
the
city
of
san
jose,
where,
where
it's
not
is,
is
not
coming
from
philanthropic
dollars
or
from
from
private
investment.
So
I
appreciate
that
quick
answer.
I
do
think
you
know
a
whether
it's
a
study
session
or
a
more
broader
conversation.
E
N
Thanks
I'll
be
quick,
I
just
wanted
to
thank
my
colleagues
for
bringing
this
they're,
bringing
up
the
fact
that
we
need
to,
but
we
need
to
address
this
sooner
rather
than
later,
the
funding
issues
and
going
through
the
report.
N
I
remember
you
know
all
the
times
we
tried
to
save
the
ballet
and
save
the
rap,
and
I
mean
this.
This
is
not
a
new
issue
to
our
city
and
we've
always
had
to
be
creative,
like
we
were
with
the
museum
of
art.
That
was
a
creative
new
partnership
back
when
it
was
new
and-
and
so
I
I
would-
I
would
love
to
delve
into
this
more.
N
I
think,
there's
a
desire
on
the
council
to
delve
into
this
more
to
council
member
peralta's
point,
and
I
just
quickly
wanted
to
address
councilmember
carrasco's
points
about
homegrown
artists
and
about
you
know.
Personally,
I
think
that
our
children,
particularly
you
know
the
high
school
age,
needs
to
be
exposed
to
art.
N
You
know
even
in
covid
and
unfortunately
in
the
road
map
exercise,
we
had
to
choose
between
survival
right,
it's
the
maslow
hierarchy
of
needs,
but
I
think
that
as
kids
are
back
in
school
with
covid
and
there
are
classrooms
that
are
shut
down
due
to
exposures
and
that's
going
to
continue
throughout
the
winter.
N
I
think
our
teachers
and
schools
are
trying
to
be
creative,
there's
an
important
connection
to
the
arts
that
I
think
our
children
need,
particularly
when
they're
battling
so
many
other
things
right
now
with
covid
and
that
we
know
will
continue.
N
So
I
think
the
arts
kind
of
give
us
all
a
sense
of
hope
that
we
don't
necessarily
get
from
other
sources.
It
touches
us
in
our
souls
in
ways
that
other
things
don't
and
and-
and
I
would
love
to
see
how
we
could
support
some
of
the
arts
programming
more
through
partnerships
with
educational
institutions
during
covet.
That's
it
for
me.
Thank
you.
A
Thank
you
for
all
of
the
good
comments
about
this
subject
and-
and
I
appreciate
the
final
ones
councilmember
sparsa.
Regarding
education.
I
just
want
to
mention
one
particular
organization,
but
there
are
others
called
starting
arts
that
full
disclosure-
my
daughter,
works
there,
but
what
they
do
is
they
actually
bring
arts
into
the
schools.
They
bring
them
into
title
1
schools
they
bring
them
all
into
all
sorts
of
schools
and
what
they
do.
They
they're
a
pull
out
for
the
teacher,
so
the
the
instructors
are
there
teaching.
A
In
my
daughter's
case,
she
teaches
dance
and
she's
teaching
in
council
member
spars
at
one
of
your
schools,
and
they
also
do
after
school
programs
as
well.
So
there
are
lots
of
organizations
out
there
who
are
trying
to
to
do
that.
That's
their
business
model
is
to
bring
arts
to
kids.
These
are
performing
arts,
but
they
also
do
there's
other
organizations
who
have
visual
art
programs
as
well.
A
It.
It
amazes
me
that
the
wealth
we
have
in
this
value
valley
and
the
in
the
tech
center
sector,
in
particular,
there's
so
much
wealth
there.
Why
we
cannot
get
that
sector
to
be
more
generous
with
our
arts?
Nonprofits
is
just
beyond
me,
so
I
know
connie
you've
probably
thought
about
this
and
carrie
you've
thought
about
this.
A
A
Businesses
really
need
to
model
good,
behavior
and
good,
but
model
the
behavior
we
want
to
see
and
the
behavior
we
want
to
see
is
giving
back
to
community
whether
it's
pick
a
non-profit
doesn't
have
to
be
an
arts,
but
we're
focusing
on
arts
right
now
so
help
the
arts
community
out
and
that
ultimately
benefits
the
fiber
and
fabric
of
our
community.
It
brings
diverse
thought,
diverse
ideas
across
the
board
to
our
community
and
for
the
children
it
gives
them
an
opportunity
to
actually
perform.
A
It
actually
gives
them
a
chance
to
take
them
away
from
focusing
on
subjects
that
they
may
not
be
strong
at
math
and
science.
They
may
be
really
good
at
playing
a
trumpet
and
so
being
able
to
be
in
the
band,
and
now
that
we're
back
in
school
and
kid
or
kids
are
back
in
school.
The
fact
that
they
can
perform
and
practice
is
wonderful
because
they
all
need
that
so
carrie
connie
in
just
a
couple
minutes.
What's
the
solution
or
do
we?
H
Connie's
a
real
expert
on
this,
and
but
I'm
gonna,
just
real
quick,
a
couple
of
key
points
is
one.
One
of
the
things
we
need
to
remember
is
that
our
high-tech
sector
are
global
and
so
that
they
often
do
not
necessarily
feel
the
need
to
give
in
the
communities
for
their
base,
but
rather
than
in
a
global
market.
H
Furthermore,
I
think
a
lot
of
the
employees
of
the
high
tech
sector
are
international,
and
so
they
often
give
back
to
the
communities
from
which
they're
from,
but
finally
I
think
it's
about
relevance
and
relationships
right
to
connie's.
Last
point:
you
know
one
we
have
to
be
relevant
to
them,
and
so
how
do
we
make
those
cases
right?
This
is
important
for
them
and
their
families
and
their
workforce
and
the
products
that
they're
selling
to
the
greater
economy,
but
it's
also
about
relationships.
H
K
I
do
so
I
do
have
a
one
pager
that
I've
written
that
I
will
send
to
carrie
and
she
can
get
it
to
you
all
that
answers
the
question.
There
are
seven
primary
drivers
of
why
the
philanthropic
community
is
as
challenging
as
it
is
with
our
tremendous
wealth.
So
let's,
let's
not
go
into
the.
Why,
in
terms
of
the
the
moving
it
moving,
the
needle,
I
agree
with
everything
kerry
said
and
the
a
couple
of
other
points,
and
it's
really
the
texture,
it's
cultural
in
its
texture,
arts.
K
You
know,
I
grew
up
in
minnesota
and
you
know
minnesota
minneapolis-st
paul
highest
per
capita
investment
in
the
arts
of
any
place
in
the
united
states,
believe
it
or
not
more
so
than
new
york
and
people
grew
up
with
that
in
their
blood.
The
ceos
took
a
leadership
position
to
make
it
happen
in
silicon
valley.
They
do
bottom
up.
They
have
the
the
employees
essentially
decide
a
lot
of
their
giving
strategies,
so
there
aren't
and,
as
kerry
said,
they're
international
and
global,
so
they're
not
necessarily
attached
to
this
place.
K
Which
brings
me
to
my
second
point:
you
need
figure
heads
if
you
will
who
say
the
arts
are
important.
So
it's
a
ceo,
it's
a
peer-to-peer
recruitment.
So
it's
not
just
connie
and
kerry
going
out
there.
It's
peer-to-peer
recruitment,
my
the
the
current
strategy,
we're
working
on
is
we're
creating
a
roundtable
of
champions
within
corporate
silicon
valley
and
they're,
not
neces
they're,
not
the
ceos,
but
they
have
access
to
them.
So
relationships
as
as
kerry
pointed
out,
has
everything
to
do
with
relationships.
The
other
thing
you
might
want
to
appreciate
is
the
churn.
K
That's
here.
We've
come
very
close
in
fact,
many
years
ago,
maybe
10
years
ago,
we
had
this
huge
initiative,
we're
going
to
roll
out
in
partnership
with
google.
Before
we
got
the
announcement
out,
the
whole
division
had
been
wiped
out
and
they
were
all
gone.
So
there's
a
tremendous
amount
of
churn
in
our
our
corporate
silicon
valley,
so
we
have
to
navigate
that
it's
one
of
the
most
difficult
believe
it
or
not-
fundraising
climates
in
the
united
states
for
all
kinds
of
reasons
and
complexities.
A
Thank
you
connie.
I
I
hope
we
can
succeed
together
and
for
the
benefit
of
our
community.
It
will
make
our
community
a
richer,
richer.
Fiber.
Is
there
a
motion
from
the
committee
to
accept
the
report.
M
I'll
go
ahead
and
make
that
that
motion
to
accept
the
report
and
the
I
wanted
to
just
ask
you
carrie.
What
can
we
do
to
to
really
start
looking
because
I'd
like
to
add
it
to
the
motion
in
terms
of
generating
those
funds,
since
we
had
already
voted
that
in
as
a
priority,
I
don't
know
when
we're
going
to
get
to
it,
but
council
member
parliament
made
a
good
point.
The
funds
are
are
being
generated
as
we
speak.
H
Well,
I
don't
want
to
speak
on
behalf
of
the
city
manager's
office,
but
so
rosalind,
chime
in.
If
I'm
getting
this,
you
know
out
of
order
please,
but
it
could
be
something
to
the
effect
of
and
accept
the
report
and
encourage
staff
to
initiate
the
private
development
process,
and
I
identify
putting
the
people
and
the
fiscal
and
human
resources
in
place
to
initiate
that
as
soon
as
possible.
Is
that
I
roseland
is
that
out
of
the
hands
out
of
turn
is
that
okay?
M
Thank
you
I'll,
go
ahead
and
make
that
motion.
Although
I'd
rather
say
yeah,
can
we
do
it
tomorrow,
but
okay
I'll
I'll
go
ahead
and
make
the
motion
I'd
like
it
to
be
stronger
than
that,
but
we'll
we'll
we'll
continue
to
have
these
conversations
I'll.
Second,
that
thank.
E
A
H
Great-
and
this
is
me
again
sorry
to
dominate
your
time
today-
carrie
adams,
hafner,
director
of
cultural
affairs
and
I'm
here
today
with
my
colleagues
from
team
san
jose
and
per
the
two
team
san
jose
contracts
we
have
with
them.
There
is
a
requirement
to
give
two
semi-annual
updates
to
this
committee
and
then,
in
december,
the
city
auditor
will
be
coming
forward
with
you
with
an
audit
of
their
performance
measures.
H
So
today
you're
going
to
be
hearing
about
the
unaudited
measures
for
last
fiscal
year
and
the
plans
for
next
fiscal
year
so-
and
these
are
all
things
that
we
have
in
contract
with
them,
so
they
are
required
to
report
out
on
this.
So
with
that,
I
want
to
just
recognize
them.
They're
john,
the
fortune,
the
ceo
ben
roschke,
you
have
sabri
matt,
martinucci
and
laura
schemaluski
are
all
here
with
us
today
and
I'm
going
to
turn
it
over
to
them.
Thank
you
great.
Thank
you.
D
Well,
thank
thank
you
carrie.
I
appreciate
it
and
and
good
afternoon
and
thank
you
to
the
committee
also.
My
name
is
john
mcfortson,
the
ceo
of
team
san
jose,
and
we
have
a
quick
presentation
for
you
ben
you.
Have
it
queued
up
here,
but
we're
just
going
to
go
over
our
fiscal
results
for
2021
some
goals
for
21
22
fiscal
year
and
also
sales
and
marketing
so
ehab.
Our
ceo
will
take
it
away
from
here.
B
Hello
good
afternoon,
my
name
is
ehab
sabri,
I'm
the
cfo
of
team
san
jose.
I'm
gonna
go
very
quickly
over
the
performance
measure
for
fiscal
year
2021,
as
you
can
all
see
that
we
did
not
achieve
any
of
the
performance
measures
basically
16
months
ago.
We
did
not
know
the
magnitude
of
covet
and
also
the
impact
on
the
economy.
So,
as
you
can
see,
we
we
did
not
really
achieve
any
of
the
performance
measure.
However,
we
were
able
to
book
about
83
000
room
nights.
B
The
room
nice
basically,
is
a
good
tax
income
for
the
city,
and
this
is
basically
for
future
years
for
the
current
year
and
future
years
as
well.
Gross
operating
revenue
we
made
about
4.9
million.
Most
of
this
money,
basically,
is
for
the
city
meal
program,
which
we
have
processed
and
distributed
over
a
million
meals
so
far,
and
we
also
have
some
cancel
event
revenue.
Actually
in
that
number
as
well
as
you
see,
the
grass
operating
result
was
also
negative.
B
Due
to
the
fact
of
we
closed.
Basically,
all
the
venues,
all
the
facilities,
all
the
events
were
cancelled
and
the
convention
center
all
the
event.
All
the
shows
were
cancelled
in
the
theaters,
so
it
was
not
a
great
year
for
team
san
jose.
B
The
next
slide
actually
looks
better,
which
ben
is
going
to
show
us
the
performance
measures
for
fiscal
year,
21
22.,
so
take
it
away.
Ben.
O
Thank
you,
ben
rashke,
vice
president
of
research
and
strategic
development
yeah.
O
So,
as
you
have
mentioned,
we
just
had
a
you
know
with
the
facilities
shuttered
for
this
year
was
a
very
difficult
year,
looking
forward
for
2122
with
the
theaters
opening
back
up
and
center
opening
back
up
for
business,
we
look
to
see
a
much
better
year
did
want
to
put
in
a
slight
comparison
to
the
pre-covered
numbers
of
1819
and,
as
you
can
see,
even
with
the
improvement,
we
are
still
going
to
be
significantly
below
what
our
pre-code
levels
were.
O
O
We've
had
some
really
good
success
with
this,
and
we
know
that
many
good
things
happen
when
occupancy
grows,
and
that
has
to
happen
before
anything
else
can
happen.
Rate
will
grow
after
occupancy.
Does
that
we're
ramping
up
our
sales
staffing?
We've
brought
back
our
midwest
associate
director
of
sales
to
handle
all
of
that
critical
association
business
in
the
midwest,
and
we
have
also
posted
a
new
position
on
the
east
coast
for
the
mid-atlantic
and
northeast
markets.
So
we
are
actively
looking
to
hire
for
that
position
at
this
time.
O
These
are
critical
to
our
long-term
success
and
then
last
thing
under
utilizing
travel
and
entertainment
funding.
We
have
a
very
robust
calendar
of
events.
Some
of
them
are
trade
shows,
some
of
them
are
customer
events
in
market,
and
all
of
this
is
geared
towards
connecting
with
customers
and
creating
the
number
of
leads
and
opportunities.
O
P
Hi
everybody
nice
to
see
you
I'm
laura
schumalewski,
vp
of
marketing
and
communications.
Thank
you
committee
happy
to
be
here.
So,
as
you
know,
the
largest
percentage
of
our
overnight
stays
came
from
business
travelers
with
kova
destroying
that
market.
When
hotels
were
open
to
non-essential
travel,
we
put
a
paid
media
strategy
in
place
to
deliver
incremental
revenue
to
our
hotels,
by
converting
leisure
traveling
tenders,
all
to
increase
tot
revenue
and
to
drive
visitation
to
local
business.
P
P
We
hired
local
artists
curated
by
jamon
carter,
former
program
director
at
the
multicultural
arts
leadership
institute
now
of
sacred
heart,
to
tell
san
jose's
stories
and
to
highlight
our
assets
all
to
drive
conversion
next
slide,
please,
the
results
were
strong.
The
first
quarter.
That's
in
three
months
we
created
over
ten
thousand
new
hotel
bookings.
We
added
over
four
million
dollars
in
incremental
revenue
to
our
hotels,
directly
tied
to
our
ads,
and
this
returned
fourteen
dollars
to
every
one
dollar
spent
in
market
and,
of
course,
we
put
even
more
than
that
in
our
local
businesses.
P
P
Our
consumer
email
focused
on
local
events,
artists
and
businesses
and
deployed
17
campaigns
to
almost
700
000
email.
Subscribers
next
slide,
please
social
media
engage
engagement
remains
high
and,
while
followers
increased
across
all
of
our
platforms,
the
largest
jump
was
in
instagram
at
12
growth.
Next
slide,
please.
P
Next
slide,
please
earn
media
contributes,
continues
to
play
a
really
important
part
in
reaching
potential
visitors.
Since
january,
we
placed
46
stories
reaching
over
46
million
unique
viewers
for
an
ad
value
of
over
a
million
dollars.
Thank
you
very
much.
That
concludes
our
presentation.
C
C
C
We
it's
a
crime
against
humanity,
because
we
are
not
dealing
with
our
climate
crisis,
which
is
such
a
crime
against
humanity
and
we're
seeing
it
everywhere.
Yeah
we're
not
changing
our
behavior
behavior,
the
co2
is
going
up.
So
that's
the
science,
that's
the
truth.
That's
all
we
need
to
be
talking
about
is
the
truth,
and
that's
physics
and
and
physics
and
and
and
engineering
doesn't
have
to
solve
a
lot
of
problems,
and
we
need
to
stop
burning
fossil
fuels.
Now.
L
First
of
all,
I
eat
three
meals
every
single
week
that
is
produced
by
team
san
jose.
So,
first
of
all,
I'd
like
to
extend
my
gratitude
for
the
work
and
the
efforts
that
you
put
into
it,
because
those
meals
sustain
my
body.
Okay
and
a
calorie
is
a
is
a
measurement.
L
However,
this
whole
meeting
is
is
like
I
agree
with
tessa
this
meeting.
Is
it's
it's
a
marketing
tool?
That's
all
it
is.
This
is
one
big
commercial?
That's
all
that's
it.
You
guys
are
talking
not
to
us
you're
talking
to
these
400
000
people
that
you
have
slated
coming
here.
Man
look
at
the
language
study,
the
language
that
you
guys
are
using,
because
it's
not
yours,
it's
not
yours
and
and
to
miss
martinez.
L
I
would
have
never
mistaken
you
for
a
sono
chicana.
You
would.
I
would
never
have
mistaken
you
for
that.
The
fact
that
you're
from
minnesota
is
quite
obvious.
You
know
especially
to
someone
like
me,
so
don't
don't
worry
about
that.
We
already
know
where
you're
from
and
what
you're
about.
So
what
I
would
like
to
say
is
start
telling
the
truth.
L
G
Hi
blair
beekman,
thank
you.
I
will
try
my
best
to
do
that.
I
hope
these
words
can
be
relevant.
I
guess
the
first
to
mention
the
auditing
and
non-auditing
of
team
san
jose
issues.
G
I
hope
that
does
not
have
to
do
with
some
sort
of
battling
over
issues
of
equity,
and
you
know
we've
got
some
good
practices
coming
around
about
how
accounting
can
use
the
concepts
of
equity,
better
and
in
interesting
ways,
and
I
would
hate
to
think
that
team
san
jose
has
forsaken
all
of
that.
G
They,
I
invite
them
to
be
to
want
to
learn
how
to
how
the
equity
process
and
accounting
can
can
actually
be
really
interesting.
Work
if
needed
to
be
said
at
this
time
with
that
said,
I
also
wanted
to
invite
team
san
jose
to
the
concepts
of
accountable
practices
with
technology.
G
You
know
there's
a
lot
of,
for
instance,
parking
new
parking
spaces
with
aopr
technology,
the
data
collection
and
the
practices
of
that
as
it's
it's
grown
in
leaps
and
bounds,
and
for
team
san
jose
to
be
explaining
that
to
visitors.
People
coming
in
that's
that's
positive
steps.
That's
that's
the
good
stuff!
G
That's
explaining
how
we're
building
a
more
responsible,
better
future-
and
I
think
people-
that's
the
innovation,
actually
that
I
think
people
want
to
hear
it's
based
on
open
democracy
and
people
want
to
hear
that
kind
of
stuff
with
28
seconds.
I
wanted
to
quickly
remind
that.
You
guys
can
write
to
myself.
If
you
have
issues
about
the,
I
can
further
describe
the
the
commission
process
that
that's
been
taking
place
and
it's
questions
and
problems
they've
been
burned
a
bit
in
the
past.
I
I'm
understanding.
A
B
F
E
A
C
I
Good
afternoon,
chair
foley
and
committee
members,
my
name
is
nathan
donato
weinstein.
I
am
with
office
of
economic
development
and
cultural
affairs.
It's
awesome
to
be
with
you
here
today.
Let's
get
started.
I
With
a
general
framing
statement,
I'm
gonna
kick
us
off
today
by
looking
at
some
economic
context,
18
months
or
so
into
this
pandemic.
I
But
as
we
look
at
these
numbers,
it's
important
to
recognize
that
businesses
and
residents
in
san
jose
are
experiencing
still
dramatically
different
realities
depending
on
what
they
do
where
they
are
and
what
resources
are
available
to
them
and
in
a
lot
of
ways.
This
is
similar
to
the
health
impacts
of
covet
19,
which
have
been
disproportionately
concentrated
in
more
vulnerable
communities.
So,
as
we
look
at
some
of
these
economic
indicators,
you
will
also
see
in
many
ways
a
tale
of
two
cities.
I
It's
also
important
to
reiterate
that
you
know
18
months
into
this
pandemic.
Public
health
conditions
continue
to
drive
economic
reality,
so
just
take
a
look
at
the
summer
as
delta
surged
and
impacted
activities,
particularly
in
the
hospitality
sector,
and
we're
going
to
take
a
little
a
bit
of
a
look
at
that
in
a
second.
I
I
Thanks
to
our
strong
vaccination
rates
and
resident
and
business
adherence
to
public
health
advice,
and
of
course
that's
thanks
to
the
tireless
work
of
county
city
and
community
partners
like
asian
americans
for
community
advancement,
which
is
shown
here
at
a
vaccination
event.
I
So,
let's
zoom
out
real
quick
for
some
more
good
news,
which
is
consumer
spending,
so
after
lagging
other
parts
of
the
country
for
many
months,
consumers
in
our
region
are
opening
up
their
wallets
and
believe
it
or
not.
Spending
is
eclipsing
pre-pandemic
levels,
number
of
reasons
for
this
pent-up
demand
and
high
savings
rates,
but
spending
is
not
up
universally
and
entertainment
and
transportation
are
still
down.
Hotels
and
restaurants
are
lagging
next
up,
just
wanted
to
say
a
quick
word
about
our
business
sort
of
our
business
open
rate.
I
So
data
on
how
many
businesses
have
closed
in
san
jose
is
actually
not
tracked
by
official
sources.
But
there
are
some
signposts:
we
can
look
to
a
small
business
software
company
called
homebase
actually
tracks
the
percentage
of
small
business
businesses
that
are
open
in
major
metro
areas
using
software
and
according
to
their
data.
The
san
jose
region
is
seeing
about
20
percent
fewer
businesses
open
today
as
compared
to
january
2020,
and
so
there's
actually
little
change
or
movement
since
the
spring,
even
though
the
volume
of
employees
working
has
markedly
improved.
I
So
when
it
comes
to
commercial
real
estate,
our
market
has
diverged
in
some
interesting
ways.
Industrial
r
b
and
investment
sales
remain
stable
or
even
seeing
growth
believe
it
or
not.
But
it's
a
different
story
in
the
office
sector,
so
some
office
tenants
are
opting
to
downsize
or
sublease
part
or
even
all,
of
their
space
and
at
the
same
time,
many
of
our
city's
office.
Employers
continue
to
keep
their
employees
working
from
home
at
rates
higher
than
peer
cities
across
the
nation,
and
this
has
important
trickle-down
impact
on
small
businesses
that
rely
on
those
employees.
I
I
One
bright
spot
consistently
has
been
construction,
however,
at
mid-year,
our
restaurant
and
sort
of
hospitality,
oriented
sectors,
things
like
gas
stations,
clothing
stores,
department
stores,
we're
still
down
about
a
third
when
compared
to
pre-pandemic
levels,
and
a
lot
of
this
is
at
least
partly
due
to
that
work
from
home.
Variable.
Just
look
at
that
apparel
statistic
to
see
the
impact.
I
Indeed,
when
you
look
at
cell
phone
movement
data
in
san
jose,
you
can
see
that
san
jose
area
residents
continue
to
stay
closer
to
home
at
rates
that
are
higher
than
the
national
average
and
that
impacts
spending
and
just
pausing
on
sales
tax.
For
one
more
slide.
Looking
within
the
city,
how
each
area
is
faring
sales
tax
receipts,
receipts
are
bouncing
back
everywhere,
but
some
areas
are
performing
more
strongly
than
others.
I
So
this
chart
is
showing
you
what
percentage
recovery
have
we
seen
from
the
depth
of
the
of
the
sales
tax
decline
which
took
place
a
year
ago
in
q2
2020.,
and
these
trends
are
influenced
by
many
factors,
for
instance
strong
growth
rates
in
the
south
and
west
valley
areas?
These
are
our
inclusionary
housing
ordinance
areas.
You
may
remember
them
were
led
by
a
very
strong
rebound
in
automotive
sales,
which
are
concentrated
there.
Also
I'll
point
out.
I
I
Second,
is
that
this
headline
number
5.3
percent,
where
we're
currently
at
it,
masks
the
labor
market
experiences
of
workers
of
color,
who
typically
see
dramatically
higher
rates
of
unemployment
and
also
of
women
who
have
been
dropping
out
of
the
labor
force
at
rates
higher
than
men
have
that's
not
reflected
in
our
local
numbers.
I
I
Finally,
we've
heard
from
many
small
business
owners
of
all
sectors
who
are
still
reporting
difficulty
hiring
staff,
despite
the
slack
in
the
labor
market.
So
a
lot
of
reasons
for
that
and
they're
not
fully
understood
yet,
but
include
things
like
affordable
access
to
child
care
concerns
about
safety
on
the
job
and
stuff
like
that.
I
So
at
the
depth
of
the
pandemic,
our
city
had
nearly
77
000
residents
out
of
work
today.
That
number
is
about
29
000
and,
as
you
can
see,
we've
recaptured
nearly
all
of
the
lost
jobs
in
several
sectors,
which
is
great,
but
it's
a
whole
different
story
for
sectors
that
are
tied
to
other
aspects
of
the
economy.
I
My
last
economic
context
slide
before
I
throw
it
over.
The
blog
for
the
work
plan
is
a
quick
word
on
government
business
relief
programs,
so
federal
state
and
local
governments
spent
hundreds
of
billions
of
dollars
over
the
last.
You
know,
18
months
to
support
small
business,
mostly
small
business
during
the
pandemic
and
two
takeaways
I
wanted
to
leave
you
with
one
is
that
these
programs
absolutely
benefited
thousands
of
small
businesses
right
here
in
san
jose
all
over
the
city.
I
The
biggest
was
the
paycheck
protection
program
and
that
dumped
over
two
and
a
half
billion
dollars
into
18
000
businesses
in
our
city
limits,
but
there's
a
flip
side
and
that's
that
it
missed
many
others,
especially
the
smallest
of
the
small
businesses
and
those
businesses.
Many
of
those
businesses
in
under-resourced
communities.
I
So
a
lot
of
reasons
for
this
things
like
access
to
culturally
competent
technical
assistance,
financial
literacy,
professional
services
and
figuring
out
how
to
help
our
businesses
capture
more
funding
than
next
time,
and
even
currently,
for
that
funding
that
still
exists
is
a
major
focus
of
our
work.
Going
forward
more
information
on
how
government
assistance
to
business
flowed
into
san
jose
is
available
in
our
july
30th
info
memo
on
business,
outreach
and
financial
support.
I
P
One
of
our
key
focuses
has
been
information
and
outreach
to
help
companies
access
financial
support,
free
technical
assistance,
health
and
safety
guidance
and
safety
nets.
We
have
done
our
best
to
connect
companies
to
workers,
help
companies
open
up
safely
during
the
pandemic
and
to
transition
their
business
operations
to
outdoors
via
our
sj
alfresco
initiative.
P
Some
of
those
highlights
are
listed
here
on
the
slide
and
are
really
categorized
in
three
buckets
kind
of
the
three
rings
we
have
here,
which
is
city
and
wide
initiatives
and
neighborhood
level
and
individual
level
initiatives
more
detail.
Specifically,
you
can
see,
there's
a
there's
a
lot
on
the
slide.
We
go
more
into
detail
in
the
memo
and
the
attachments
to
the
committee
memo
next
slide.
Please
nate!
P
So
since
march
of
2020,
we've
collected
a
few
matrix
highlighting
the
work
that
we've
done
here
on
this
slide,
we're
very
proud
to
have
played
a
role
in
getting
the
word
out
about
major
relief
programs
and
safety
net
resources
available
to
the
businesses
in
our
city,
as
well
as
our
own
management
and
distribution
of
city
fund
grants
and
anecdotally.
We've
heard
reports
from
small
business
owners
who
did
secure
funding
or
lifeline
through
the
information
we've,
provided
that
our
services
were
much
appreciated
next
sliding.
P
So
some
of
the
lessons
learned
from
our
covet
outreach
are
summarized
here
on
this
slide.
We
kind
of
came
up
with
our
top
eight,
and
what
I'd
like
to
do
is
just
underscore
kind
of
the
the
top
three
that
we
found,
which
is
first
of
all,
access
to
professional
services
and
technical
help
was
highly
determinative
of
business
survival
when
it
came
to
the
emergency
grants
and
loans
available.
P
The
very
act
of
connecting
people
with
information
in
their
primary
language-
really,
we
saw
make
all
of
the
difference
in
the
world
in
people's
comfort
level
and
their
willingness
to
kind
of
take
the
next
step
and
quite
honestly,
building
trust
in
in
government
and
the
information
that
we
were
handing
out
and
then.
Lastly,
what
we
learned.
P
The
big
lesson
was
that
local
business
support
networks
and
partners
are
key
that
you
know
we
are
the
business
development
team
is
a
small
team
of
ten
we've
got
over
60
000
small
businesses
in
our
city
and
there's
no
way
that
the
city
can
possibly
work
one-on-one
with
every
business.
So
we
really
relied
heavily
and
will
rely
heavily
moving
forward
on
our
existing
portfolio
of
business,
support
partners
and
non-profits,
and
what
we
learned
is.
P
So
you
can
see
on
this
slide
that
our
work
plan
is
mentioned
previously,
focused
on
work
streams,
supporting
recovery
of
the
individual
at
the
neighborhood
and
then
at
the
city-wide
level,
and
here
you
can
see
kind
of
the
three
work
areas,
economic
stabilization,
development
and
then
convention,
tourism
and
destination
marketing,
where
our
our
efforts
are
really
focused
on
activities
with
major
revenue
generating
and
retention
impacts,
such
as
facilitating
major
development
in
our
city.
P
We
are
focused
here
on
the
support
supporting
the
return
of
events
and
business
meetings,
and
you've
heard
some
of
that
here
today
and
then
also
helping
our
large
employers
successfully
train
and
transition
folks
back
into
the
office
next
lightning.
P
So
these
two
things,
coupled
with
our
work
with
small
business,
is
what
we're
calling
our
boost:
biz
sj
initiative.
Much
of
this
work
specifically
is
focused
in
our
city's
central
and
east
side
areas,
and
we
are.
This
approach
is
basically
to
target
the
communities
that
were
most
impacted
by
the
crisis
that
we
went
through
over
the
last
18
months.
P
So,
for
instance,
we
are
in
the
process
of
bringing
on
two
new
multilingual
staff,
members
that
are
going
to
be
focused
on
spanish
and
vietnamese
business
outreach
and
we
are
supporting
the
formation
of
the
ketzel
garden
small
business
center
with
our
partners
at
the
latino
business
foundation,
along
alum
rock,
and
also
exploring
the
property-based
improvement
districts,
the
formation
of
those
districts
and
underserved
communities
in
our
city.
P
And
lastly,
here
I
just
wanted
to
to
point
out
it's
kind
of
it's.
You
know
number
two,
it's
just
a
short
line
on
the
slide,
but
we're
going
to
be
ramping
up
the
implementation
of
our
economic
development,
association
or
administration
grant
that
we
received
earlier
this
year
with
matching
funds
that
we
received
from
the
city
budget
process.
P
We
actually
have
about
16
kind
of
programs
under
that
initiative,
where
we
are
going
to
be
focused
primarily
on
providing
capacity,
building,
services
in
central
and
east
san
jose
and
then,
lastly,
on
the
individual
basis,
we're
going
to
focus
on
career
pathways
for
displaced
workers
or
underserved
youth,
such
as
our
rapid
response
programs,
our
resiliency
corps
and
other
paid
work.
Experiences
programs
through
our
work
to
future
folks.
P
Is
our
business
walk
series,
basically,
where
we
get
out
there
in
a
small
team
and
walk
commercial
corridors
and
key
business
neighborhoods
throughout
the
city,
to
really
bring
awareness
of
the
resources
that
we
have
access
to
and
then
last
we
are
looking
forward
to
kind
of
once.
The
dust
has
settled
on
both
the
state
and
federal
relief
grant
programs
that
are
out
there
we're
looking
forward
to
launching
a
small
business
grant
program
of
our
own.
P
That
is
going
to
specifically
target
business
owners
who
are
left
out
of
the
federal
and
state
programs,
and
so
in
conclusion,
I
would
just
like
to
acknowledge
the
team
of
folks
that
has
been
doing
this
work.
You
can
see
our
business
development
team,
our
cultural
affairs
team,
our
work
to
future
team
with
a
few
partners
from
other
departments.
P
I
would
just
want
to
put
up
the
names
of
the
folks
that
have
been
doing
this
work,
so
you
can
see-
and
of
course
all
of
us
and
all
of
this
work
is
done
under
the
leadership
and
guidance
of
our
department,
director,
nancy
klein
and
so
with
that
nathan.
And
I
would
both
like
to
thank
you
for
your
time
and
we're
open
to
take
any
questions
that
you
have
on
the
presentation.
A
Great
thank
you
nathan
and
thank
you
blogaid,
so
I'll
turn
to
the
members
of
the
public
tessa.
C
O
C
And
I'm
seeing
the
engine
behind
the
destruction
that's
happening.
Is
that
we're
going
on
as
business
as
usual
and
talking
about
economics
and
poli
and
and
politics,
and
it's
all
about
economics,
and
it's
where
all
our
money
has
gone
to
keep
fueling
this,
this
capitalism
that
we're
keeping
on
fueling
and
what
I'm
saying
is
we
have
to
break
it
down
and
stop.
We
have
to
that's
what
the
science
says
we
have
to
do
is
to
stop
economic.
D
N
A
C
D
You
want
economic
development,
you
get
rid
of
all
your
rules,
your
permits,
you
know
your
people
who
drive
around
on
the
priuses
with
their
with
their
docker
pants
and
blue
polo
shirts.
That's
what
you
get
rid
of.
If
you
want
economic
activity,
what
else
you
get
rid
of
having
to
show
papers
where
you
go,
you
know
you
want.
D
G
D
Game
show
your
papers
want
to
go
to
your
your
terrible
art
museum.
You
got
to
show
papers.
You
know
that
that
hurts
economics.
What
happens
when
your
phone
doesn't
work?
You
forgot
the
thing
or
you
know,
you're
like
me,
you
didn't
get
vaccinated
right,
I'm
not
gonna!
Do
that,
especially
after
you
guys
told
me
to
do
it
right
forever,
not
gonna
ever
get
it.
D
So
if
you
want
economics
to
happen,
you
don't
tax
people
like
you
do
you
know
you
allow
those
patios
to
serve
alcohol
and
whatnot.
I
mean
you
know
what
what
does
it
take
to
have
to
do
that
for
you
people,
you
got
you
guys.
Oh
my
god,
someone's
gonna
drink
a
beer
on
a
patio.
What
are
we
gonna?
Do
yeah
yeah?
You
guys
found
out
right
away.
You
had
to
do
it
to
keep
the
businesses
alive.
You
so
many
pieces
of
paper.
The
business
has
to
post
on
the
front
of
their
building
for
covet.
D
It's
like
14
sheets
of
paper.
They
have
to
tape
to
the
window,
looks
like
something
out
of
a
totalitarian
government,
all
the
rules
and
regulations.
The
way
it's
worded.
I
read
it.
I
read
those
14
pages
on
the
for
tania
arms.
Do
you
remember
pretending
your
arms
pam?
You
know
where
you
threw
me
off
if
you're
meeting
you
know
the
place
anyway,
yeah,
that's
what
you
guys
are
doing.
That's
economic
development
for
you,
people
or
putting
up
some.
You
know
terrible
piece
of
public
art
or
what
is
that
thing?
D
A
L
L
What
you're
doing
is
you're
you're
playing
with
people's
minds
you're
having
two
parallel
conversations.
At
the
same
time,
two
okay,
you're
speaking
directly
to
people
that
understand
what
is
being
planned,
which
is
the
400
000
year
and
the
entire
infrastructure,
be
it
economic,
be
it
arts,
be
it
all.
The
chess
pieces
are
going
into
place.
I
played
chess
man
with
the
with
the
the
most
dangerous
sociopaths
in
the
state
of
california.
L
L
Okay
and
that's
what
I'm
hearing
here,
you
guys
are
planning
for
the
complete
ex
excision
with
precision
excising,
all
the
granddaughters,
all
the
grandsons,
all
the
theos,
all
the
nephews
of
the
braceros.
Why?
Because
this
is
no
longer
an
agrarian
economy
and
what
this
city
was
doing
was
putting
mexicans
on
track.
Oh
well,
no,
no!
You
guys,
and
you
know
what
councilwoman
fully
you
alluded
to,
that
you
said.
L
Oh
well,
maybe
people
that
aren't
good
at
arts,
or
I
mean
math
or
or
or
other
topics
they're
good
at
this,
that's
the
con
they
sold
us
and
tracked
us
into
the
vocations
and
mexicans
were
denied
colleges.
That
was
the
beginning
of
the
chicano
movement,
because
the
chicanos
were
tired
of
being
trapped
in
locations
and
not
being
tracked
to
colleges.
And
now
you
guys
don't
want
to
deal
with
that
mess
that
you
created.
G
Hi
boy
beekman
here
I
guess
first
to
try
to
clarify
a
few
previous
words.
It
was
advocacy
who
was
getting
perhaps
burned
a
little
bit
in
deciding
the
future
of
a
representational
process
or
a
full
commission
process.
If
anyone
wants
to
write
me
on
further
information
on
that
subject,
I've
been
learning
about.
Please
do
sorry
for
the
trouble
to
speak
on
about
first,
the
economic
task
force
board,
that's
being
considered
for
this
winner
and
and
and
next
year.
G
G
I
think
that's
a
mighty
one
too,
and
how
to
really
talk
about
our
future
of
our
city
in
the
next
year
and
how
to
prepare
for
2023
and
beyond.
I
it
seems
really
important
and
I
think
it
can
bring
in
school
kids.
It
can
just
bring
in
a
lot
of
a
unified
effort
that
I
find
interesting.
I
know
council
person
mayhem
initially
mentioned
the
idea
of
bringing
in,
like
maybe
banking
and
and
that
sort
of
thing.
G
If
we
bring
in
people
not
sjda,
I
think
that
maybe
possibly
could
be
an
interesting
alternative
if
just
a
few
representatives
are
invited
to
that
process
as
well.
G
Hopefully
that
can
be
the
sense
of
the
anger,
that's
that's
being
geared
towards
mayhem,
and
I
hope
we
can
learn
to
get
over
that
issue
with
the
housing
issues.
You
know
to
mention
that
housing
and
the
economics
of
that
and
the
subsidy
language
you're
using
here.
We
are
just
going
to
be
inundated
with
new
subsidy
and
funding
questions.
I
think
I
feel
at
this
time
that
we
have
to
be
really
responsible
responsible
about
and
not
go
over
the
top
with,
but
I
felt
mayhem's
meeting
at
the
rules
in
open
government.
G
F
Good
afternoon,
this
is
molly.
Topic
of
economic
recovery
is
so
very
important,
and
I
want
to
highlight
some
of
the
opportunities
that
are
available
when
we
take
a
disability,
informed
and
accessibility,
focused
approach,
plus
language
justice,
so,
for
example,
qr
codes
of
artwork.
F
Imagine
how
many
people
could
be
employed,
providing
audio
descriptions
of
artwork
in
multiple
languages
so
that,
when
you're
at
an
event
in
person,
whether
you're
at
the
san
jose
airport
or
a
large
museum
or
a
pop-up
event-
and
you
can
use
a
qr
code
and
then
hear
an
audio
description
in
english,
spanish
vietnamese?
How
about
tagalog?
F
How
about
russian?
How
about
the
training
of
pay
of
paid
interpreters,
but
also
a
core
of
volunteers?
Who
care
about
community
and
art
and
provide
audio
descriptions?
That's
something
that
the
knight
foundation
funded
for
elders
in
parks
recently.
So
there
are
so
many
different
ways
of
getting
involved
and
looking
at
things
that
are
as
problems
as
also
being
opportunities
for
economic
recovery
by
expanding
expanding.
F
What
we
view
as
possible
and
who's
welcome
and
who's
involved,
and
that
reaches
down
to
those
who
are
most
economically
impacted,
because,
due
to
racism
due
to
environmental
injustices,
people
of
color
are
more
likely
to
be
disabled
earlier
and
more
often
in
life,
and
that's
should
not
be
ignored.
Thank
you
for
your
consideration.
A
Thank
you.
Turning
back
to
the
committee,
I
just
have
a
few
questions
and
then
actually,
I'm
going
to
turn
it
over
to
council
member
esparza
to
take
on
managing
the
rest
of
this
meeting.
As
I
have
a
another
commitment
that
I
have
to
head
out
for,
I
have
a
couple
of
questions.
Thank
you
for
the
report
and
I
just
wanted
to
ask
you
a
couple
questions
about
the
the
business
walks
that
you're
doing
that.
How
are
you
targeting
areas?
How
are
they
going?
P
So
thanks
for
the
the
question
chair
fully,
we
are
taking
a
lot
of
different
inputs
quite
honestly,
to
determine
where
we
can
walk
and
we
have
done
you
know.
Ultimately,
we
want
to
hit
all
of
all
the
the
council
districts.
At
least
you
know
at
least
one
in
each
council
district,
but
we
anticipate
many
more
really
focusing
on
commercial
corridors
and
kind
of
commercial
hubs,
we're
focusing
in
areas
that
have
been
hardest
hit
by
the
pandemic.
P
Over
the
last
18
months,
we
are
focusing
in
the
neighborhoods,
where
we
know
there's
a
predominant
predominant
number
of
small
businesses
and
primarily
either
minority
owned
or
family-owned
businesses
right
and
also
in
areas
where
we
do
have
a
lot
of
the
the
data
that
we're
able
to
discern
and
kind
of
sift
through,
and
we
know
where
a
lot
of
the
federal
and
state
grant
monies,
especially
with
the
ppp
loans
kind
of
what
neighborhoods,
via
zip
code,
those
went
into
and
where
they
didn't,
and
so
we're
really
trying
to
be
smart,
strategic.
P
It's
a
little
bit
of
an
art.
It's
not
a
complete
science,
and
we
are,
you
know,
probably
a
team
of
six
folks.
Currently-
and
you
know
right
now-
we
only
have
two
of
our
team
members
that
have
or
three
of
our
team
members
that
have
kind
of
language
capabilities
other
than
english
right.
So
we've
done
so
far.
P
We've
done
walks
along
kaye
willow,
alum
rock
village
cambrian
park
plaza
we're
also
we've
gone
west
san
carlo
street,
so
we're
we're
trying
to
to
spread
the
love,
and
our
intention
also
is
to
take
input
from
council
members.
If
there
are
specific
areas
of
your
district
and
commercial
corridors,
we
are
happy
to
take
that
input
and
go
out
and
talk
to
businesses
in
those
areas.
A
Thank
you.
I
was
going
to
ask
you
about
the
language
issue
and
you,
so
you
are
bringing
people
with
you
who
have
language
skills
that
they
can
communicate
with
the
fluently
with
the
business
owners
or
business
were
employers,
employees
in
the
various
walks
that
you're
doing
absolutely
okay,
that
that's
really
important
and
are
we
giving
them
something?
Are
we
handing
out?
Do
we
have
a
handout?
What's
what's
the
basis
of
the
handout
we
do?
We.
P
Have
a
resource
brochure
that's
printed
printed
in
english,
spanish
vietnamese,
primarily
those
have
been
kind
of
the
three
languages
and
they're
a
resource
brochure
that
we've
kind
of
updated
through
covid.
So
in
the
beginning,
it
was
about
some
of
the
state
and
federal
resources,
some
of
the
city
resources
that
we
had
access
to
capital,
business
and
technical
support.
P
There
were
some
of
we
handed
out
some
of
the
vaccine,
vaccination
cards
and
locations
for
people
to
be
able
to
get
that
information.
Also,
we
we
have
information
in
those
resource
brochures
about
our
webinar
series,
which
is
also
usually
about
safety
net
services,
access
to
resources
and
technical
support.
A
Thank
you
for
that,
so
you
have
done
a
walk
at
cameron
park
plaza.
Why
was
I
not
aware
of
that?
Because
I
would
have
liked
to
join
you.
So
just
a
shout
out-
and
maybe
other
council
members
want
this
same
information-
is
that
when
you're
going
to
be
walking
in
our
neighborhood
please
reach
out
to
us,
because
I
would
love
to
be
on
those
walks
as
well
and
hear
what
the
business
owners
are
having
to
say.
I
go
into
businesses
all
the
time.
A
I'm
sure
all
the
council
members
on
this
meeting
go
into
their
go
into
businesses
all
the
time,
but
it's
it
would
be
good
to
come
in
with
someone
else
and
hear
what
the
other
conversation
is,
because
it's
always
steered
in
one
particular
way.
So
please
reach
out
to
our
office,
so
we
can
coordinate
a
walk
through
in
one
of
our
neighborhoods
and
I
see
councilmember
man
shaking
and
said
yes
indicating
he
would
like
that
as
well.
A
I
was
interested
in
the
biz
chat
and
you
know
you
know
I'm
a
small
business
owner,
I'm
actually
by
your
grading,
I'm
a
micro
business
owner,
so
I'm
actually
sitting
in
my
business
now
my
old
my
mortgage
business,
because
at
home
I
don't
have
any
inner
internet
connection.
So
I'm
I'm
here
at
any
rate,
I'm
curious
about
the
business
chat.
A
I
know
as
a
small
business
I
do,
or
I
do
get
your
emails-
that
you
send
out
regularly
that
isn't
the
best
way
of
communication,
not
necessarily
to
the
owners-
and
you
mentioned
that
in
your
memo-
that
that
is
the
case-
the
that's
not
the
best
way
to
reach
people.
So
how
many
participants
do
you
have
in
the
biz
chat?
How
often
does
it
happen?
A
How
is
it
structured
and
do
you
have
specif
specific
topics
that
you're
covering.
I
I'll
take
a
crack
at
that.
If
that's
okay,
really
good
question,
so
the
and
I
believe
so,
our
webinar
series
or
our
biz
chat
series
has
been
going
on
pretty
regularly
for
the
last
really
18
months,
but
we
formalized
it
several
months
ago
to
run
on
every
other
thursday
and
the
attendance
varies.
So
when
we
have
a
hot
topic
like
a
new,
a
new
government
funding
program
or
something
like
that,
we'll
get
like
hundreds
of
attendees.
It's
amazing
and
that's
you
know
with
our
advertising.
I
Through
our
flyering,
we
post
the
calendar
online.
We
get
it
out
to
the
our
business
owner
space
partners,
so
our
network
of
nonprofit
assistance
providers
to
try
to
get
some
force
multiplier
effect
and,
of
course,
the
e-breasts.
I
Now
when
we
have
a
more
sort
of
specific
sort
of
topic,
so,
for
instance,
recently
sal
posted
with
sjpd
a
program
that
was
not
about
a
business
relief
topic,
it
was
about
sort
of
preventing
crime
and
and
how
to
sort
of
understand
how
to
work
with
the
police
and
make
your
business
safer.
We
didn't
have
hundreds
of
people,
but
we
had
a
pretty
good
turnout.
I
I
Did
you
record
it
and
now
because
we're
using
the
youtube
so
much
we're
able
to
point
them
to
that.
So
it
has
kind
of
a
long
tail
and
last
thing
I'll
say
is
when
we
we
did
experiment
with
a
drop-in
sort
of
office
hours
program
for
several
months,
where
we
we
just
had
sort
of
experts
on
hand,
and
we
did
a
brief
presentation
and
just
opened
it
up
for
conversation
that
was
less
sort
of
less
successful,
and
so
we
we
now
are
doing
kind
of
very
pr.
Much
programmed
content.
A
Okay,
very
good,
we're
we're
all
trying
various
ways
to
reach
out
to
our
community,
some
with
open
forums,
some
with
curated
content,
where
we
have
speakers
and
such
so
it's
good
to
hear.
A
That
was
their
lifeline.
Some
benefited
from
one
ppp,
some
took
two.
The
difficulty
is
access
to
capital
that
you
raised
and
that's
really
was
difficult
difficult
for
many
to
navigate
from
a
language
perspective,
because
when
you
deal
with
applying
for
federal
grant,
there's,
there's
paperwork
involved
and
there's
a
language
that
is
used
by
bankers
that
isn't
used
by
your
average
business
person
or
small
business
person
necessarily
so
that
was
really
difficult.
A
So
were
we
and
it
looked
like
we
were
able
to
really
help
small
business
owners,
help
navigate
slightly
that
that
I
I
mean
we're
not
being
we're
not
able
to
say
here's
a
lender
who
can
help
you
or
here's
a
bank
who
can
help
you,
but
we
were
we
able
to
navigate
help
them
navigate
the
system
because
it
was
complicated,
very
complicated.
J
Let
me
jump
in
on
that
and
then
blog
a
and
nathan
will
respond.
Part
of
that
conversation
is
yes.
We
were
successful
in
working
both
on
what
the
information
we
were
distributing,
but
also
in
working
with
smaller
groups
or
groups
that
are
targeted
on
smaller
segments
of
the
city,
because
they
know
their
constituents
and
just
want
to
really
reiterate
that
two
things
councilmember
that
chair.
J
Sorry,
that
one
is
that
when,
when
we
are
able
to
connect
with
people
that
that
relationship
piece,
that
you've
heard
in
other
topics
today
is
really
important,
and
so
in
in
san
jose.
J
We
have,
I
grew
up
in
detroit,
far
less
groups
that
are
business
support
groups,
which
is
the
whole
strategy
about
targeting
groups
and
building
capacity,
because
then
someone
who
is
knowledgeable
about
finance
in
the
language
that
you
want
to
talk
to
and
the
trust
that
you
can
have
when
you're
when
you're
reaching
someone
who,
who
you
know
is
working
with
and
for
you
is-
is
very
much
the
goal
of
where
we're
headed
with
the
eda
work.
As
an
example.
A
N
Thanks
councilmember
foley
councilmember
man,
you're
up.
B
Thanks
chair
by
councilmember
foley,
everyone
thanks
for
the
great
report
I
just
wanted
to
ask.
I
guess
my
attention
was
drawn
to
the
end
of
your
slide
deck
and
the
objectives,
and
there
are
a
lot
of
objectives
there
and
they
all
sound
great,
I'm
assuming
they
are
numbered
in
kind
of
rank
order
within
each
of
the
categories.
B
B
P
Okay,
ours
all
the
time
you
know
in
all
seriousness,
council
member.
They
are
not
actually
ranked
on
our
slide.
They
are,
you
know
we
try
to
kind
of.
P
We
have
a
number
of
them
that
fall
into
kind
of
the
larger
categories,
so
we
try
to
group
them
in
an
effort
to
kind
of
consolidate
they're.
All
those
are.
Those
are
all
of
the
places
that
we're
working
right.
We
have
different
team
members
working
in
different
areas.
For
instance,
we
have
on
the
development
side,
development
facilitation
side
and
we
all
and
the
biz
dev
team.
P
You
know
a
call
can
come
in
and
any
one
of
us
can
take
the
call,
but
emily
lipoma
is
really
our
development
kind
of
large-scale
development
facilitation
officer,
and
so,
when
those
kind
of
calls
come
in,
she
is
the
one
primarily
doing
development
facilitation
right.
So
we're
working
all
of
those
areas
and
in
terms
of
of
the
actual
okrs
we
are
through
the
community
and
economic
recovery
task
force
and
kind
of
line
on
the
road
map.
P
Developing
those
key
results
that
are
going
to
be
plugged
into
the
overall
community
and
economic
recovery.
Work
that
that
oed
is
doing
along
with
the
other
departments
that
are
in
kind
of
that
line,
item
on
the
roadmap
or
that
row
on
the
roadmap.
B
P
Out
there
and
we
tried
to
do
that
at
a
high
level
on
in
the
memo
right,
so
we
do
have
some
key
results
in
the
matrix
and
the
in
the
memo.
We
have
some
high
level
key
results
that
that
we're
working
towards.
B
Yeah
thanks,
so
I
appreciate
that
I
read
the
memo.
I
guess
my
my
feedback
is
just
that
I
notice
in
the
deck
there's
over
30
objectives,
and
I
I
just
personally
my
own
view
would
be
the
prioritization
and
understanding
which
ones
you
are
most
focused
on
which
ones
are
being
most
resourced
kind
of
what?
What
is
the
impact
of
these?
That's
a
lot
for
any
group
of
people
to
track
30
objectives
is
a
lot
and
then
I
think
for
me,
at
least
in
this
kind
of
report,
understanding
what
the
results
are.
B
What
the
key
results
are
would
really
help
me
wrap
my
head
around
well,
how
are
we
trying
to
get
there
and
then
I'd
be
able
to
get
better
feedback?
If
I
understood
the
key
results
that
we're
using
to
organize
the,
how
I
mean
the
objectives
are
usually
what
we
want
to
achieve,
but
without
seeing
a
little
breakdown-
and
I
understand
why,
for
30
objectives,
breaking
those
down
into
three
to
five
key
results
would
be
pretty
overwhelming.
B
How
did
we
do
you
know
in
our
work
around
small
businesses
specifically?
Did
we
hit
some
of
the
key
results
we
were
hoping
to
hit
and
as
it
is
it's
just
it's
very
high
level-
and
I
appreciate
I
know
you
all-
are
doing
a
lot
of
work
and
probably
have
too
much
on
your
plates,
but
I
just
as
a
way
of
kind
of
focusing
in
and
and
getting
us
aligned
around
sort
of
understanding
exactly
how
you're
trying
to
drive
this
change.
At
least
I
would.
I
would
find
that
helpful.
B
M
Councilmember,
as
far
as
if
I
could
just
I
can't
raise
my
hand
right
now:
okay,
you're
next,
just
a
couple
of
things
and
I'll
make
this
really
quick.
Do
you
have
any
idea
or
nancy
when
those
two
multilingual
individuals
will
be
coming
on
board,
and
is
this?
What
is
one
of
the
individuals
the
motion
and
that
we
had
made
for
an
east
side,
business
manager.
J
P
Sure
that
sounds
good,
so
we
are
in
the
process
of
taking
a
look,
we're
hoping
to
piggyback
on
recruitments
that
the
city
manager's
office
has
already
done
and
we're
taking
a
look
at
resumes
right
now
for
potential
candidates
that
might
fit
the
position
or
positions
that
we
have
and
we're
hoping
that
we've
got
a
couple
of
folks
in
there.
P
If
we
don't
have
that
we'll
go
out
for
recruitment,
and
it
is
we
want
to
do
that
as
soon
as
we
possibly
can,
because
we,
as
I
mentioned
previously,
we're
limited
right
now.
We
have
two
or
three
team
members
that
are
have
capacity
for
spanish
and
vietnamese,
but
we
need
to
really
get
those
other
two
in.
So
we
want
to
do
that
as
quickly
as
possible
here
in
the
next
month
or
so.
P
The
second
thing
is
that,
as
as
we
have
talked
about
previously,
what
the
approach
that
we're
taking
with
the
east
side
manager,
since
we
did
not
get
a
position
in
the
the
most
current
budget,
is
similar
to
the
approach
that
we
are
taking
with
the
tully
road
and
monterey
corridor
positions
and
that
we
are
going
to
go
out
and
contract
for
we're,
putting
out
an
rfp
and
we're
going
to
contract
for
those
services
for
a
two-year
period,
and
so
we're
in
the
process
of
putting
that
rfp
together.
P
That
can
be
both
posted
with
kind
of
the
the
scope
of
work,
and
we
will
be
sharing
that,
as
we've
shared
with
the
other
council
offices.
Once
that's
ready
to
go,
we'll
be
sharing
that
with
your
office
as
well.
M
So,
okay,
so
I
just
want
to
be
clear,
so
those
two
positions
are
separate
from
the
contracted
business
manager
because
they.
A
A
M
Yeah,
yes,
they
are
okay
and
and
those
two
additional
positions
that
would
be
city
employees.
M
P
No
they're
going
to
be
part
of
our
business
development
team
right.
So
we
have.
We
have
our
business
development
team
that
does
a
variety
of
different
things:
everything
from
business
outreach
to
development.
You
know
taking
taking
questions
on
development
facilitation,
usually
small
scale,
because,
as
I
mentioned,
we
have
a
development
facilitation
officer
that
kind
of
works
on
the
larger
scale
projects
they
would
be
doing.
P
You
know
they'd
be
involved
in
the
the
webinar
series
that
we
that
we
have
they
be
connected
to
commercial
brokers
when
we're
we're
trying
to
pair
business
owners
with
potential
business
spaces.
So
they're
working,
you
know,
city
wide,
we're
also
doing
a
lot
of
work,
as
I
think
all
of
you
know
in
facilitating
the
development
and
the
processes
over
at
the
flea
market
to
to
help
the
vendors
there,
and
so
these
people
would
be
pulled
into
that
work
as
well.
P
So
it's
general
business
development
work
citywide
as
part
of
the
overall
business
development
team,
implementing
kind
of
the
goals
and
objectives
that
we
have
on
on
the
work
plan
to
build
small
business
resiliency,
also
to
conduct
corporate
outreach
to
increase
our
business
support
and
technical
advisory
network
and
also
to
assist
our
business
support
organizations
citywide
in
becoming
stronger.
M
Okay,
you
know
just
from
the
presentation.
I
was
very
pleased
to
see
a
couple
of
things
I
mean
all
of
it
was
great
and
thank
you
so
much
for
all
the
work
that
that
all
of
you
have
been
doing
with
such
a
small
team
and
a
huge
lift,
in
my
opinion,
when
it
comes
to
supporting
our
small
businesses
and
making
sure
that
they
stay
open
or
they
can
recover
from
from
a
really
very
difficult
year.
But
but
what
stood
out
to
me
was
was
a
couple
of
things.
M
One
is
that
we're
seeing
that
that
technical
support
and
almost
hand-holding
of
the
businesses
really
supported
businesses
and
staying
remaining
open
or
recovering
a
little
bit
faster
than
than
than
I
guess
in
general,
and
also
the
extended
network
that
they're
connected
to
and
and
as
I
see
it,
whether
it's
the
the
business
manager
downtown
or
the
east
side,
business
manager
that
hopefully
will
come
on
board
soon
or
these
two
other
individuals
that
you're
hoping
to
bring
on
with
a
multilingual
capability.
M
At
the
end
of
the
day,
I
think
we're
all
speaking
the
same
language
and
and
talking
about
doing
the
same
thing.
I
hope,
which
is
to
support
them,
build
capacity,
provide
technical
support,
really
almost
hand-holding
individuals
so
that
they
can
get
through
a
very
difficult
time.
M
I
I
will
say
that
I
hope
that
we
have
an
opportunity,
as
these
other
individuals
come
on
board,
and
I
don't
know
if
it
actually
sits
squarely
in
your
office
or
if
it
sits
in
another
office,
but
to
be
able
to
track
those
folks
that
are
closing.
M
You
know,
I
think
it's.
It
makes
it
very
difficult
to
support
businesses
who
are
on
the
verge
of
closing
down
or
who
just
closed
down
for
a
number
of
reasons,
without
knowing
the,
why
or
the
how
and
how
we
could
have
prevented
it
from
happening
or
how
we
could
have
supported
them
in
order
to
keep
them
in
business.
M
So
I
I'm
I'm
not
sure
why
we're
not
tracking-
or
maybe
it's
too
difficult
to
track,
but
even
in
terms
of
how
many
business
licenses
we
had,
you
know
just
a
year
prior
to
the
pandemic
and
then
in
the
heart
of
the
pandemic,
and
then
now
I
I
think,
just
being
able
to
get
a
snapshot
of
those
of
that
having
those
licenses
and
knowing
how
many
we
have
and
I'm
not
talking
about
the
new
ones
that
are
coming
online.
M
I
think
that
was
part
of
that
first
presentation
or
the
beginning
of
the
presentation.
M
There
was
a
comment
that
the
ones
that
are
coming
online
are
not
nearly
as
many
as
pre-pandemic
times
but
to
actually
know
how
many
we
had
in
in
in
our
city
and
how
many
we
have
now,
I
think,
just
being
able
to
do
a
side-by-side
comparison
would
give
us
an
idea
of
what's
happening
in
the
small
business
world.
I
Hi,
council
member,
can
I
briefly
address
it,
because
it's
also
it's
something
that
I'm
frustrated
by
as
well,
just
to
be
frank
with
you,
so
our
business
tax
registration
system,
as
currently
established,
is
not
set
up
to
sort
of
accurately
give
us
a
picture
of
who's
coming
and
going
and
and
why
it
would
be
amazing
if
it
were,
and
we
could.
I
You
know,
make
some
recommendations
on
how
to
do
that
a
little
bit
better
as
it
stands
now
we
are
doing
some
work
to
try
to
suss
out
as
best
we
can
through
the
current
database,
sort
of
what
we
can
find.
There
is
some
information
we
can.
We
can
glean
and
we're
currently
working
on
that,
but
unfortunately
the
database
doesn't
tell
us
whether
a
business
closure
was
permanent,
whether
they
just
moved
and
it's
it.
It
sort
of
has
a
lot
of
holes
in
that.
I
So
we
continue
to
look
for
ways
to
understand
exactly
the
issue
you
raise
and
you
know,
don't
think
it's
kind
of
the
end
of
the
conversation,
but
there's
sort
of
some
fundamental
challenges
with
the
way
our
business
tax
registration
system
is
currently
set
up.
M
So
so
you
can't
just
do
a
a
very
rough
guesstimate
by
looking
at
what
we
have
pre
pandemic
and
what
we
have
now.
J
J
I,
I
probably
sound
like
a
broken
record,
but
one
of
the
things
that's
great
about
the
business
association
that
that
were
and
and
the
p
bid
that
we're
building
toward
in
your
district
is
those
folks
will
have
a
much
clearer,
knowing
of
who
is
needing
some
help,
based
on
having
the
the
p
bid
and
the
regular
touch
points
with
the
business
association,
and
it
will
give
us
an
opportunity
to
earlier
link
up
with
resources
that
can
hopefully
help.
M
Yeah,
but
that
that
would
be
dependent
on
on
us
having
a
p
bid
or
work
working
towards
a
p
bit.
It
doesn't
give
us
an
idea
of
what's
happening,
for
example
in
council
member
esparza's
district
along
tully,
road
or
story,
and-
and
and
you
know,
these
are
districts
that
we
know
already-
that
we're
impacted
and
and
to
have
just
even
a
vague
understanding.
M
I
mean
I
think
we
can
deduce
what's
happening
with
the
businesses,
but
to
be
able
to
hear
from
them
directly
or
again,
just
being
able
to
look
at
a
comparison
and
say:
hey
we
lost
you,
know
5
000,
small
businesses.
We
can
deduce.
Why
may
not
be
100
accurate,
but
it
is
our
intuitive
feel,
based
on
our
expertise
that
these
are
the
reasons
why.
M
But
I
I
just
think
that
it
would
be
helpful.
I
mean,
as
I
go
just
simply
along
alum
rock
corridor
and
I
see
all
the
closed
doors.
It
would
be
great
for
me
to
have
an
idea,
because
I
think
that
that
starts
to
shift
where
we
pay
attention,
where
we
provide
that
support,
where
we
provide
also
of
the
budgetary
necessity
to
invest
in
in
those
neighborhoods.
M
I
can
you
know
I
can
advocate
until
I'm
blue
in
the
face,
but
unless
the
entire
council
is
agreeing
with
me,
I'm
not
going
to
get
those
funds.
J
So
we
can
certainly
go
back
and
and
take
a
geographic
area
on
alum
rock
from
one
point
to
the
another
and
then
do
that
comparison
to
say
pre-pandemic
how
many
small
businesses
were
there
and
then
take
a
snapshot
of
what
we're
showing
as
business
licenses.
So
as
a
higher
level
data
we
we
can
definitely
do
that
and
that's
something
we
can
get
back
to
you
quickly
about,
and
it
is
the
challenge
of
knowing
the
specifics
of
who
is
there
and
who
is
not
that
that's
where
it
gets
tougher.
M
Yeah
I
understand
yeah
and
so
and
the
other.
The
other
part
of
the
strategy
that
was
presented
was
a
p-bit
which
you
know
I've
been
advocating
for
years.
I
I
do
hope
that
we
take
the
lessons
learned
from
the
alum
rock
corridor.
In
terms
of
you
know,
what
are
the
challenges?
What
are
the
obstacles?
How
do
we
get
past
them?
What's
the
next
strategy,
if
there
is,
you
know,
the
vietnamese
business
association
wants
to
pass
a
pee
bid.
How
do
we
help
get
them
through
it
much
faster
than
alumrock?
M
I
don't
need
to
remind
everybody-
or
maybe
not
everybody,
isn't
aware
of
this,
but
it's
taken
now
up
to
five
years
to
try
and
get
the
p
bid
over
the
finish
line
on
alum
rock,
and
we
we
really
need
to
be
honest
with
ourselves
and
and
be
forthcoming
in
terms
of
what
have
those
obstacles
been
so
that
we
can
truly
help
these
business
corridors
before
those
businesses
leave,
if
we're
truly,
if
we
truly
believe
that
this
is
a
strategy
to
keep
these
businesses
open,
so
that's
it
for
me,
chair.
E
Yeah,
thank
you
very
much
and
appreciate
the
report.
I
think
a
lot
obviously
to
digest
here
and
there
was
significant
amount
in
the
report
new
attachments.
E
But
she
did
and
participated-
and
I
know
when,
when
I
have
connected
small
business
owners
to
the
resources
we
have
they've
been
very
pleased.
I
think
the
the
biggest
challenge
we
have
is
we
just.
We
don't
simply
have
enough
bodies
enough
people
to
do
the
work
and
support
the
number
of
businesses
that
we
have.
That
would
need
it.
So
I
know
you're
doing
a
lot
with
a
little
and
I
just
wanted
to
say.
E
I
appreciate
that,
and
that's
shown
here
in
the
in
the
report
in
regards
to
all
of
the
efforts
that
you
do
have
all
the
objectives
that
you're
that
you're
setting
out.
I
just
have
one
main
key
question,
and
this
is
in
regards
to
how
we're
weaving
in
equity-
and
I
saw
it
within
the
the
report
in
the
memo
discussing
efforts
of
resources
in
other
languages
like
spanish
and
vietnamese,
but
I
think
we
we
recognize.
E
We
have
to
recognize
this
point
that
it
goes
much
far
farther
beyond
just
the
language,
access
and
the
staff
support
and
that
it
has
to
be
a
conscious
effort
and
certainly
doesn't
require
somebody
that
speaks
another
language
to
to
be
conscious
about
that.
E
When
you
look
at
the
data
and-
and
you
put
this
all
throughout
your
slides,
obviously-
and
it
was
in
the
report
in
regards
to
both
federal
data
and
then
even
local
data-
on
like
the
ppp
loans,
we
still
see
inequities
on
the
communities
that
are
receiving
support
or
that
are
indirectly
impacted
more
than
others
that
are
still
struggling.
So
we
know.
All
of
that
is
true.
E
That's
that's
throughout
your
report
and
then,
when
looking
at
the
objectives
themselves,
I
am
curious
how
staff
plans
to
to
weave
you
know
achieving
or
or
attempting
to
achieve,
to
carve
into
that
gap
that
we
know
we
see
with
so
many
particularly
small
minority-owned
women-owned
businesses.
E
When
you
look
at
some
of
the
objectives,
none
of
the
28
objectives,
I
believe
describe
specifically,
you
know
a
direction
towards
that
that
gap
that
inequity
gap,
but
they
all,
I
think,
right,
have
an
opportunity
where
we
we
can.
Especially
as
you
look
at
the
the
you
know,
the
programs
that
we
have
placing
adults
and
youth
into
paid
work
experience,
resilience
corp
san
jose
works.
J
Nathan,
let
me
let
me
take
a
quick
shot
and
then
ask
you
guys
about
to
fill
in
and
and
and
we
can
always
refine
our
language,
but
the
the
emphasis
in
the
report
is
really
a
reflection
of
what
we
have
already
been
doing
for
the
last
18
months,
in
a
good
way
of
really
focusing
on
the
areas
that
are
most
vulnerable
and
those
that
are
biggest
have
the
biggest
impact
from
covet
and
continuing,
and
those
areas
are
carefully
tracked
in
the
in
the
census,
tracts
that
we
have
mentioned
that
are
primarily
people
of
color
and
or
small
business
and
minority
owned.
J
So
so
our
metric
is
on
such
a
big
part
of
what
we're
doing
is
whole
is
wholly
focused
on
the
businesses
that
that
are
in
those
areas
and
just
as
a
quick
mention
in
the
nathan
mentioned
the
info
memo
that
was
given
out.
You
know
the
ppp
loans
they
didn't
from
the
fed
and
state
they
didn't
track.
What
what
was
coming
to
people
of
color,
which
is
a
huge
problem,
because
if
you
don't
track
it,
you
don't
know.
J
I
do
want
to
say
that
of
the
dollars
that
we
were
able
to
target,
and
admittedly
it
was
a
smaller
amount
between
business
development
and
work
to
future.
More
than
90
percent
of
the
dollars
that
went
out
are
are
focused
on
minority
and
people
of
color,
so
we
are
incredibly
focused
on
on
this
because
we
should
be
so.
We
have
no
hesitance
to
say
that
nate
or
blogging
anything
you
want
to
add
there.
P
I
just
wanted
to
say
that
you
know
what
we
are
weaving
it
into
all
the
work
that
we're
doing
so
it's
equity
is
not
a
separate
objective
right.
It's
interwoven
into
all
of
this
work
that
the
the
geographies
that
were
that
we're
placing
kind
of
our
primary.
You
know
initial
outreach
and
like
with
the
biz
walks.
P
Those
are
all
in
those
geographies
around
the
city
where
it's
primarily
you
know
small
and
minority
owned
business,
commercial
corridors,
the
the
other
thing
that's
that's
kind
of
not
as
evident,
but
it's
one
example
of
how
we're
weaving
equity
in
is
that
there's
significantly
more
money
in
each
one
of
these
budgets.
Now
for
printed
for
printed,
you
know
resource
brochures
or
printed
flyers
that
are
printed
in
multiple
languages
and,
as
we
learned
one
of
the
lessons
that
we
learned
is
that
you
can't
you
can't
rely
on
just
the
digital
communication.
P
You
can't
rely
on
it
on
it
in
one
language.
So
that's
like
one
example
where
it's
not
as
overt,
but
it's,
but
we
are
it's
in
our
budgets.
We
learn
the
lesson,
we're
doing
something
that
we
didn't
do
previously
in
a
way.
That's
a
little
bit
more,
it's
not
as
overt
but
we're
doing
it
and
equity
runs
through
all
of
the
work
that
we're
doing
we're
trying
to
have
that
lens
through
all
of
the
work
that
we're
doing.
E
Yeah,
thank
you.
I
appreciate
that
it.
It
absolutely
sounds
as
though
you're
weaving
it
through
the
way
that
that
I
would
appreciate-
and
so
thank
you
for
for
doing
that
and
for
your
response
in
that
regard.
Looking
forward
to
continued
progress
here,
thanks.
N
Any
other
comments,
questions
I'll
just
quickly,
add
mine.
Before
we
accept
emotion
and
move
on
is
I
wanted
to
thank
blogging
and
sal
for
going
out
to
story
road
door
to
door?
I
think
that's
really
important
to
me.
That's
one
of
the
lessons
learned
having
gone
door
to
door
myself
to
the
businesses
in
my
district
is
that
they
need
that
in-person
help
and
and
there's
a
lot
of
terminology
that
really
micro
business
owners.
Don't
understand.
N
Even
even
the
I
know
at
the
county
there's
a
there
was
a
sort
of
a
controversy
over
the
word
grant.
Like
people
don't
know
what
that
is
to
them.
They
hear
loan
right
so
at
the
county.
N
I
think
they
were
using
the
word
scholarship,
because
that
was
understood
like
something
you
don't
have
to
pay
back
right,
and
so
it's
just
there's
a
lot
of
nuance
here
and
a
lot
of
folks
who
try
to
just
kind
of
do
it
themselves
and
and
they
can't
not
with
covid
and
if
they
try
to
do
it
by
themselves,
they're
going
to
miss
out
on
opportunities
and
grants.
So
I
did
want
to
just
call
out
the
team
for
for
having
gone
door
to
door,
and
I
think
that
was
really
instructive.
E
N
And
I
think
we're
on
to
open
comment.
C
Yes,
hi.
Thank
you
very
much.
Well,
I
guess
you
can
hear
me
yeah
there
you
go,
I
guess
good
thanks
and
basically
you
know.
I
didn't
understand
why
my
esposa
was
like
off
camera
a
lot,
not
paying
attention.
G
C
All
deniers
because
we
don't
we're
not
acting
like
it's
an
emergency
and
that's
really
true
and
my
husband
is
saying
that
we
are
going
to
go
extinct.
You
know,
because
if
you
look
at
it,
no
matter
what
you
talk
about
and
say
everything's,
you
know,
I
see
everything
looks
like
it's
going
back
to
business
as
usual,
and
that
is
the
problem
and
we
gave
all
the
money
to
the
businesses
because
I
think
it
needs
to
be
distributed
and
let
us
figure
out
what
we
need
to
do
in
our
own
communities.
C
I
think
that's
a
big
voice
that
I'm
hearing
from
other
neighbors
and
I
think
that's
really
important
and
you
know
just
because
you
guys
are
going
forward
with
the
lifestyle
that
is,
you
know,
fossil
fuel.
You
know
infused
that
is
going
to
bring
us
to
extinction,
which
is
where
we're
going.
If
we
don't
change
and
the
science
shows
that
we're
not
changing
so
no
matter
what
you
talk
about,
that,
it's
all
changing,
it's
not
and
you
guys
are
going
on
as
business
as
usual
and
we're
not
preparing
for
our
emergencies.
C
And
so
that's
why
I'm
saying
I
want
to
build
a
home
for
homeless
and
teach
them
to
live
without
fossil
fuels
and
to
also
no
waste
and
no
plastic
and
growing
food
is
our
main
focus
of
our
whole
curriculum
as
a
school
is
an
educational
program,
and
you
can
gather
a
lot
of
monies
together
and
we're
learning
to
be
patrons
of
husbandry,
and
we
and
we
share
it,
make
sure
that
everyone
must
become
a
patron
of
husbandry
and
take
care
of
the
earth.
L
Well,
I
didn't
know
that
anyways
I
was
trying
to
have
a
message
conveyed
by
luis
valdez
and
it
was
public
comments,
so
I
figured
it
was
my
two
minutes,
so
I
could,
but
obviously
it
didn't
work.
L
L
I
don't
have
impromises.
No
non-profit
pays
me
a
dime.
Do
you
know
that
I
would
go
through
every
single
business
and
do
what
it
is
that
needs
to
be
done
on
the
east
camp
and
the
reason
why?
Because
they
beat
spanish
out
of
my
mother,
you
guys
did
man
you
just
scott
and
perales
are
sitting
on
2.4
billion
to
all
those
businesses
downtown.
This
is
disgusting.
L
Just
offensive
sit
here
and
not
call
you
out
peralta's.
The
fact
give
you
that
you
justly
centered
equity
within
the
context
of
this,
and
I
will
thank
you
for
that.
Okay-
but
you
knew
this
before
so
no
grandstanding
for
your
role
and
your
job
is
to
protect
us
in
those
rooms
with
hate
in
those
rooms
with
opportunity
zones
and
exploit
the
poverty
that
was
created.
D
Great,
I'm
glad
you
can
hear
me.
I
want
you
to
hear
me
yeah
this,
this
city,
man,
there's
all
this
money,
but
take
a
look
around
unfinished.
Manhole
covers
on
hillsdale
there's
plenty
of
money
for
road
diets.
Bike
lanes,
but
you
know
the
roads
are
still
bad.
D
D
You
can't
keep
a
business
going
down
there
with
all
the
redevelopment
money
that
san
jose
has
received
for
the
last
30
or
40
years.
Take
a
look
around,
it
doesn't
look
good,
does
it
and
want
to
get
rid
of
parking
you
want
to
get.
We
want
to
close
off
streets
want
to
get
people
out
of
their
cars.
How
are
you
going
to
get
there
who
lives
down
there?
Those
towers
are
empty
by
the
way
people.
Everyone
thinks
that
those
are
full
of
a
bunch
of
like
you
know,
tech
workers
they're,
not
they're
empty.
D
They
were
bought
by
speculators.
That's
why
all
the
restaurants
go
out
of
business.
If
you
have
a
lot
of
people
living
there,
the
store
would
be
in
the
grocery
store
would
be
open.
The
business,
restaurants
and
bars
and
cafes
would
be
thriving.
They
are
not,
and
you
guys
think
that
if
you
set
up
a
bike
lane
and
get
rid
of
parking
that
that's
going
to
do
something
got
you
completely
misguided.
You've
been
misguided
for
long
before
you
were
there,
especially
under
susan
hammer,
completely
misguided
under
sam
ricardo
beyond
this
guy.
So
anyway,
it's
it's.
D
G
All
right,
thank
you
for
the
meeting
today,
as
many
are
feeling
proud
in
california
in
this
country.
In
their
ways,
we
have
opened
up
the
economy
in
this
era
of
coban
19..
This
hasn't
been
based
on
creative,
well-intended,
good
thinking
that
is
meant
to
address
all
sides
of
difficult
covenanting
issues
with
good
community
health
practices.
G
I
hope
we
can
continue
to
consider
open
creative,
good
ways
how
to
talk
about
the
future
directions
of
cobin
19,
its
variance
the
vaccine
process
and
the
pluses
of
the
aerosol
vaccine
process.
This
fall
from
this,
I'm
hoping
we
can
work
so
city
sj
city
employees
can
continue
to
have
options
with
weekly
tests
for
covid
as
48
hour
testing
is
becoming
standard
and
what
can
be
available
before
live
events.
G
G
I
hope
san
jose
can
put
off
their
city
government
mandate
vaccine
mandate
until
this
same
time,
january
2022
is
learning
how
to
better
respect
community
health
and
safety.
This
fall.
I
hope
we
can
all
learn
together
how
to
take
the
next
steps
to
more
openly
better
describe
the
realities
of
taking
the
vaccine
and
what
can
one
expect
in
our
day-to-day
lifestyles?
G
This
can
help
make
things
more
clear
for
people
if
taking
the
vaccine
can
be
worth
it
and
for
better
understandings
for
people
who
can
who
have
taken
a
vaccine
and
feel
uncomfortable
in
doing
so.
We
have
many
new
ai
data
collection
concerns.
It
is
a
it
is
a
continual
care
of
good,
open
democratic
practices
with
data
collection
that
can
offer
an
openness,
a
caring,
a
positive
positiveness
of
sustainability,
our
good
heart
and
our
good
humanity
that
can
simply
help
ourselves.
This
fall
move
deep
as
we
move
deeper
into
our
technology
technological
future.
G
This
fall
good
luck
with
the
vixen
moratorium
issues.
