Great,
thank
you.
Thank
you
for
joining
us.
I
hope
you
all
have
had
a
had
a
good
holiday
break
and
now
we're
almost
finished
with
the
first
month
in
the
new
year,
so
still
appropriate
to
say
happy
new
year,
because
this
is
our
first
meeting
of
the
year
and
we
have
good
work
for
us
ahead.
So
we
have
some
some
exciting
things
that
were
coming
forth
before
us
in
a
few.
D
E
Yes,
thank
you
so
much
chair,
foley,
rosalynn,
huey,
deputy
city
manager
and
just
I
want
to
share
with
the
committee
some
additions
actually
to
our
work
plan.
For
this
spring.
There
was
a
memo
to
rules
last
week
and
the
rules
committee
did
approve
following
action,
adding
two
items
to
our
work
plan.
The
first
one
is
an
update
from
planning
building
and
code
enforcement
department
with
updated
metrics
and
a
dashboard
data
that
details
the
bottlenecks
in
the
development
process,
as
well
as
recommendations
for
short
and
long-term
improvements.
E
For
that
particular
item,
the
discussion
and
the
action
allow
the
chair
to
decide.
The
cadence
of
these
updates
and
staff
is
suggesting
quarterly
updates
for
this
year
for
the
re
until
the
end
of
the
fiscal
year,
and
we
are
suggesting
updates
in
february
and
the
second
update
in
may.
The
second
edition
that
was
approved
at
rules
last
week
was
for
staff
to
provide
an
update
to
the
committee
on
emergency
interim
housing
and
quilt
quick,
build
interim
housing.
A
B
F
F
And
if
that's
on
the
screen,
then
I
will
get
going,
and
I
appreciate
your
patience.
Madam
chair
and
committee
members,
my
name
is
elizabeth
handler.
I'm
the
public
information
manager
for
the
office
of
economic
development
and
cultural
affairs,
and
this
quarterly
report
is
presented
to
provide
you
with
a
an
overview
of
the
department's
activities
and
outreach
over
the
past
roughly
three
months.
F
F
I'm
sure
everybody
who
went
downtown
during
the
holidays,
especially
after
dusk,
enjoyed
the
lights
and
the
festivity
and,
of
course,
the
the
return
of
christmas
in
the
park,
which
was
was
wonderful
for
all
of
us
and
there
were
also
a
return
of
our
our
classic
favorites
for
the
holidays,
the
nutcracker
and
a
new
debut
to
our
holiday
season,
thanks
to
three
below
cinemas,
a
holly
jolly
holiday.
So
that
was,
it
was
fun
to
be
able
to
recap
that
we've
had
some
cultural
ambassadors.
F
We
were
able
to
participate,
along
with
the
finance
department
and
the
cmos
communications
team,
to
get
the
word
out
about
the
business
tax
exemption
period
being
extended,
and
we
did
it
in
a
lot
of
languages
and
using
a
lot
of
communications
channels.
So
here
we
have
the
the
blog
post.
That
was
posted
and
then
there's
links
here
to
the
post.
Also
in
spanish
vietnamese
and
traditional
chinese,
we
were
able
to
report
an
interim
report
on
the
impact
of
the
foreign
trade
zone
on
san
jose's
economy.
This
isn't
the
final
report.
F
It
comes
out
a
little
later
this
year,
but
there
was
a
little
bit
of
a
drop,
as
can
be
imagined
during
pandemic,
but
we're
looking
to
see
a
lot
of
positive
reports
on
foreign
trade
zone
activity
coming
up.
There
certainly
has
not
been
a
lot.
A
lack
of
of
interest
in
the
foreign
trade
zone
and
companies
are
continuing
to
want
to
do
their
international
business
through
san
jose's
trade
zone.
F
We
also
had
new
artwork
coming
to
the
to
the
airport,
an
installation
called
threshold
which
was
extremely
exciting
and
has
two
has
two
big
display
cases
in
the
arrivals
area
in
terminal
b,
very,
very
exciting
work,
and
then
I'm
sure
everybody
knows
sonic
runway
is
back.
We
are
thrilled
to
have
it
back.
The
opening
event
was
just
exciting
and
the
improvement
in
the
installation
itself
is
significant,
and
it's
going
to
be
here
for
seven
years.
So
we're
really
pleased.
F
So
once
that
distracted
us
all,
there
wasn't
a
lot
of
promotion
put
behind
that,
but
we're
put
putting
it
back
together
again,
there
are
grants
available
to
help
businesses
afford
the
inspections
and
the
permits
for
improvements,
and
so
we're
going
to
continue
to
be
pushing
that
in
multiple
languages.
Throughout
the
next
few
months,
another
set
of
funding
cal
competes
put
together
a
state
program
from
the
go
biz,
the
governor's
business
initiative,
the
california
competes
tax,
credit
and
the
california
competes
grant
program.
F
The
second
funding
round
of
that
of
applications
for
those
is
going
to
be
opening
up
in
early
march.
So
we're
going
to
be
promoting
that
again.
That's
it!
That's
that's
our
last
three
months
in
a
in
a
dead
run,
I'd
be
happy
to
take
questions
then.
Actually,
I
think
nancy
would
like
to
add
some
more
detail
on
the
work
plan
that
the
department
has
been
pursuing.
Thank
you.
G
Good
good
afternoon,
and
thank
you
so
very
much
yes,
I
just
had
a
couple
of
things
to
add
nancy
klein,
director
economic
development
and
cultural
affairs.
We
we
in
san
jose
it's
it's
been
a
good
pickup
in
the
leasing
activity,
that's
been
happening
in
san
jose
and
because
we
all
could
use
a
little
good
news.
G
Manufacturer
is
moving
here
to
san
jose
from
sunnyvale
and
and
there's
also
quite
a
number
of
good
things
happening
in
in
district
seven,
and
one
of
them
just
to
call
out
is
that
the
vacant
smart
and
final
at
2152
monterey
road
has
been
spoken
for
and
the
tenant
will
be
wss
shoes,
which
is
a
really
good
shoe
retailer
that
recently
bought
foot
locker.
So
just
wanted
to
to
mention
a
little
bit
of
market
news,
and
I
wish
you
all
happy
new
year.
G
B
Thank
you
great.
Thank
you.
I'm
really
happy
to
see
the
ada
compliance
information
put
out
in
that
newsletter.
That's
really
really
critical
that
we
help
our
small
businesses
conform
to
ada
so
that
we
have
they
have
access,
but
it
has
been
difficult
for
them
because
of
the
cost,
so
that
grant
will
be
really
helpful.
B
H
Thank
you.
Council
number
one,
I'm
sorry
to
inconvenience
you
to
know
that
elizabeth
latinos
were
busy
dying
on
the
east
side.
So
I'm
sorry
that,
like
we
interfered
with
your
ability
to
conduct
business
and
make
money
downtown
next
time,
I'll
ask
them
to
die
either
quicker
or
later
that
way
it
can
doesn't
inconvenience
you,
secondly,
is
that
this
urban
planning
thing
that
is
going
to
be
appear
tomorrow
on
8.1.
That's
what
I
want
to
talk
about
three
floors
of
parking:
three
floors
where.
H
No,
this
is
on
you.
The
urban
plan.
Look
at
your
list.
Look
at
the
list
that
was
just
covered
right
now.
Look
at
the
lists.
You're
interrupting
me.
Look
at
the
list:
okay,
urban
plan.
No,
this
urban
planning,
okay,
you
interrupted
me
and
broke
my
train
of
thought
and
I'm
tired
of
that.
I'm
tired
of
you
people
messing
with
me
because
I
come
here
to
tell
the
truth.
I
come
here
to
tell
the
truth
now
I'll
finish,
my
thought.
H
If
you
quit
interrupting
me,
foley
anyways
three
floors
to
the
parking,
that's
what
I
want
to
talk
about.
I
also
want
to
talk
about
the
fact
that
there
was
you
stated
on
that
document
that
there
was
no
significant
traffic
impacts.
Really
you
got
three
floors
of
parking
and
I
want
to
know
exactly
how
many,
how
many,
how
many
parking
spaces
are
there?
That's
another
one,
I'd
like
to
also
know.
Let
me
see
what
was
the
other
one
pre-pandemic
rent.
H
You
stated
on
there
that,
because
we
are
still
below
pre-pandemic
rents.
I
want
you
to
give
me
some
figures
tomorrow.
I
want
these
figures.
I
want
to
know
exactly
how
much
pre-pandemic
rent
was
and
then
I
want
to
know
how
much
rent
is
now,
because,
if
that
those
numbers
don't
add
up,
that
means
that
that
document
is
a
ballot.
It
isn't
valid.
I
read
every
single
word,
I
know
what
I'm
doing
here
and
I'm
not
going
to
be
playing
with
you
guys.
No
more.
H
I
It
sounds
more
like
a
facilitator
of
programs
and
possibly
it
was
a
part
of
the
old
redevelopment
agency
and
now
it's
kind
of
a
facilitator
of
local
business
programs.
And
such
I
worry
that
with
the
upcoming
item
on
the
agenda
tomorrow
about
the
carlisle,
that
is
a
part
of
the
updated
development
projects
report.
B
I
J
That's
frustrating,
because
this
is
where
we're
not
making
the
systemic
changes
that
we
need
to
make,
and
even
you
and
I
want
to
acknowledge,
pam
foley
that
you
said
that
pedestrian
safety
has
to
be
our
utmost
utmost
priority
in
our
city.
You
said
that
after
the
two
deaths
and
one
serious
injury
on
almaden
expressway
and
the
fact
that
we
even
have
an
expressway
going
through
our
community
is
the
problem,
and
so
when
people
are
frustrated
you
know,
and
even
with
the
carlisle,
I
don't
know
exactly
what
that's
about.
I
think
it's
a
hotel.
J
J
That's
where
we've
had
the
most
coven
is
in
the
restaurants
and
in
and
in
our
stores,
and
and
yet
we're
not
changing
we're
not
having
systemic
change,
which
really
looks
like
growing
our
own
food,
so
that
we
don't
have
to
go
into
stores
that
this
is
where
we
have
to
go
back
to
basic
principles
and
and
basic
needs,
food,
clothing
and
shelter
and
we're
not
we're
not
creating
a
new,
a
new
environment
that
is
about
that.
That
is,
fossil
fuel
free.
And
I
just
heard
today
on
my
neighborhood.
J
K
Thank
you.
I
just
wanted
to
thank
economic
development
for
highlighting
the
good
things
happening
on
monterey,
road
with
wss
shoes
that
I
think
is
opening
soon
and
and
and
also
the
fact
that
we
are
there's
more
and
more
interest
in
san
jose
all
over
san
jose,
and
so
that's
an
exciting
thing,
and
I
also
wanted
to
thank
everyone
in
the
downtown
business
association,
for
it
was
just
really
nice.
I
know
it
wasn't.
K
L
A
L
B
D
Yes,
good
afternoon,
council
members,
john
aiken,
director
of
aviation,
we
came
back.
We
came
to
council
back
in
november
to
ask
for
some
concession
relief
and
during
that
discussion
there
were
concerns
about
the
large
number
of
food
and
beverage
and
retail
employees
that
had
not
yet
returned
to
work.
This
presentation
is
to
provide
some
context
for
the
impacts
of
covet
19
on
the
airport
and
on
our
workers.
D
The
pandemic
has
caused
many
challenges
for
employees
at
the
airport.
The
airport
remained
open
during
the
entire
pandemic.
Workers
at
the
airport
in
these
jobs
could
not
work
from
home.
At
the
same
time,
air
traffic
in
the
u.s
and
the
world
experience
unprecedented
drops
in
passengers
causing
major
disruptions.
D
These
disruptions
created
issues
for
companies
and
employees
throughout
the
airport.
I
hope
this
presentation
will
provide
you
with
a
little
more
context
for
how
kovid
impacted
the
airport
and
those
working
here.
So
I'm
going
to
show
you
a
couple
graphs
just
to
illustrate
the
passenger
drop
you
can
see.
The
red
line
was
20
20.
D
D
D
It
went
up
to
about
13
000,
almost
400
passengers
a
day
going
through
the
airport,
it's
still
down
from
22
000,
but
dramatically
better
on
the
next
chart,
just
kind
of
a
reverse
thing
to
show
you
that
we're
still
down
significantly
in
emplainment
we're
oscillating
around
40
percent,
down
from
where
we
were
actually
we're
at
yeah.
We're
oscillating
about
40
percent
as
of
december
january,
is
actually
a
little
worse
because
it's
it's
historically
a
bad
month
for
us
on
the
next
one.
We'll
talk
about
the
the
places
that
were
impacted
by
this.
D
D
A
lot
of
the
employees
were
furloughed
and
laid
off
concessionaires
closed
most
of
their
concessions.
I
think
in
the
in
the
early
part
of
covid,
we
had
a
starbucks
open
in
both
terminals
and
a
chick-fil-a,
and
that
was
it
out
of
out
of
40
restaurants
modified
hours
of
operations
trying
to
focus
in
when
most
of
the
passengers
were
there
limited
menus.
D
D
The
the
concessionaires,
especially
food
and
beverage,
have
continued
to
find
problems.
We
currently
have
a
hundred
vacancies
just
in
the
food
and
beverage
and
retail
portions
of
the
airport,
the
employees,
from
what
we
hear.
Some
are
not
ready
to
return
to
work.
Some
have
moved
out
of
the
area
or
found
other
jobs,
family
care
issues,
kids,
not
in
school,
other
things
that
occupied
the
employees
and
kept
them
from
coming
back
and
then
a
really
low
unemployment
rate
in
santa
clara
county
and
for
the
month
of
november
it
was
3.2.
D
The
staffing
shortages
have
caused
the
food
and
beverage
establishment
establishments
to
remain
closed,
have
shorter
hours
and
modified
menus.
We
still
have
probably
more
than
half
of
our
food
and
beverages
closed
currently,
because
we
can't
get
the
staffing
to
open
up
those
establishments,
so
I
wanted
to
switch
over.
The
second
part
of
the
request
from
the
council
back
in
november
was
to
talk
about
airport
living
wage,
and
is
there
something
we
could
do
to
airport
living
wage
to
help
here
in
this
situation?
D
So
on
the
next
slide,
the
the
airport
living
wage
sets
two
different
pay
scales,
one
for
health
care
benefits
and
one
without
health
care
benefits.
So
within
that,
though,
the
on
the
next
slide,
the
the
people
that
are
covered
by
airport
living
wage
are
all
employees
at
the
airport
that
have
contracts
with
the
city.
D
Have
collective
bargaining
agreements
so
airport
living
wage
will
not
apply
to
the
food
and
beverage
and
the
retail
employees
on
the
next
one?
It's
just
a
laundry
list
of
all
the
types
of
businesses
out
there
that
are
potentially
covered
by
airport
living
wage,
so
food
and
beverage
parking
lot,
janitorial,
ground
transportation,
wheelchair
pushers,
a
whole
list
of
different
people
and
then,
after
you
get
through
that
list
again.
D
D
We've
established
it
as
a
proactive
program,
people
can
still
call
and
say:
look
I
don't
think
I'm
getting
a
fair
deal,
but
we
don't
wait
for
that
call
to
happen
every
year
we
go
through
and
check
all
the
different
employers,
and
then
I
wanted
to
kind
of
lay
it
out
if
the
employee
is
part
of
the
airport
living
wage.
Where
does
that
fall
in
the
region?
And
so
you
can
see,
obviously
from
smallest
wage
to
the
largest
wage.
The
airport
living
wage
is
better
than
oakland
better
than
sacramento,
both
of
those
airports.
D
It's
slightly
less
than
san
francisco
international
and
it's
less
than
the
air.
The
city's
living
wage,
the
city
living
wage,
covers
contract
employees
that
the
city
contracts
with
outside
of
the
airport,
but
again
the
the
employees
that
we're
really
concerned
with
right
now
from
this
referral
was
the
food
and
beverage
and
the
retail
and
the
lack
of
those
stores
being
open
and
100
of
those
non-management
employees
are
covered
under
a
collective
bargaining
agreement.
D
So
the
the
last
part
we
do
have-
and
I
put
this
on
there
just
because
there
might
be
public
listening.
We
do
have
a
person
that
is
their
contact
if
they
feel
there's
a
wage
problem.
They
have
questions
about
their
employer
and
how
they're
paying
or
what
kind
of
health
care
benefits
I
should
be
receiving
magdalena
is
there
to
to
talk
to
each
of
them
and
go
through
that.
D
B
H
Thank
you.
First
of
all,
you
got
a
lot
of
nerve
coming
here,
begging
for
money.
That's
number
one
number
two!
I
want
somebody
that
is
working
in
those
beverages.
I
want
them
making
35
an
hour
and
I
want
I
want.
I
want
the
airlines
to
pick
up
half
of
it.
We
already
picked
up
your
tab
during
9,
11.
man.
We
already
picked
up
your
chat
during
line
11..
You
know
what
and
I
took
that
personal.
H
You
know
why
it's
the
date
of
my
birth,
that
is
the
date
of
my
birth,
and
I
took
great
exception
when
that
happened
with
these
airlines
man,
because
they
got
bailed
out.
You
know
what
the
people
got
the
shaft
and
that's
what's
happening
now.
So
if
you
want
any
money,
you
want
to
come
here
begging
for
money
dude.
This
is
how
it's
going
to
be.
The
people
that
are
in
the
park
now
leave
them
alone.
H
Leave
them
alone.
You've
got
your
nerve
coming
you're
begging
for
money.
Dude,
I
mean
really
look
at
you.
Do
it
with
a
straight
face
too,
and
you
have
no
conscience
about
it.
None
look
at
those
contracts.
The
way
that
they're
written
up
the
people
that
work
in
those
industries-
you
just
don't
want
to
be
racist,
you
just
want
to
say:
oh
it's
just
a
beverage
people.
No,
we
know
who
it
is.
H
Those
are
my
people,
those
are
my
people
that
are
getting
gentrified
out
of
this
area,
but
we're
going
to
give
the
carlisle
4
million
dollars
of
tax
benefits
perales,
and
this
here
man.
This
is
disgusting
dude.
This
is
the
place
where
we
need
the
advocacy.
We
don't
need
people
like
esparza,
just
kissing
up
to
them
and,
yes,
we
need
a
shoe
store
next
to
a
home
homeless
area,
because
those
people
were
buying
groceries
from
that
smart
final,
that's
where
they
got
their
groceries,
but
no,
as
far
as
I
would
rather
have
a
shoe
store
there.
H
That
statue
over
there
in
in
vietnam
that
statue,
I'm
gonna,
have
removed
girl.
You
suck
admitted
the
entire
process
I
found
out.
Believe
me,
I
know
people
too,
and
you
put
that
statue
there.
You
answer
to
me.
As
far
as
you
answer
the
vietnamese
community
and
the
money
that
exchange.
Has.
I
got
that
too.
So
we'll
be
talking.
J
Yes,
thank
you.
Thank
you,
paul.
Thank
you
for
your
comments.
Yeah,
it's
really
critical,
yeah
right!
Exactly
the
airlines
got
a
lot
of
money.
They
got
millio
billions
of
money
from
the
federal
government
to
bail
them
out
under
this
supposed.
You
know,
downturn
in
air
flying
because
of
coven
and
now
you're
asking
us
for
money
to
support
there.
J
The
business
is
there,
that's
wrong,
the
airlines
should
be
paying
for
it
and
not
the
city
of
san
jose,
because,
first
of
all,
it's
a
conflict
of
interest
that
the
city
of
san
jose
is
even
in
the
business
of
running
an
airport.
We
shouldn't
be
in
that
business
and
and
now
with
the
with
our
climate
crisis.
Being
you
know
bearing
down
on
us,
I
mean
we.
What
is
it?
This
is
2022.
J
The
science
says
we
need
to
be
at
zero
by
20,
30.,
okay
and
yeah.
Now
that
I
guess
they've
got
some
little
air
air
flight
that
can
go
electric,
but
that's
it
for
the
rich.
The
very
rich
can
fly,
but
we
can't-
and
then
you
know,
what's
happening
with
the
city
of
san
jose-
is
they're,
promoting
they're,
promoting
us
flying
and
even
on
their
buses.
It
says:
go
somewhere,
you
know
this
is
a
conflict
of
interest
because
we
need
to
get
to
zero
and
we're
not
moving
right.
Now,
it's
six
percent
wait.
J
J
Air
airline
speed
bad,
and
this
is
what
has
got
to
stop
and
we
have
to
get
out
of
the
business
of
being
in
an
air
air
business
because
we
need
to
be
in
the
fossil
fuel
three
businesses
only-
and
this
is
how
we're
gonna
have
a
future
if
we're
going
to
have
one-
and
so
you
know,
the
total
issue
of
asking
us
to
perform
money
for
these.
Businesses
should
definitely
be
the
airline's
responsibility
and
not
the
city
of
san
jose
for
sure,
and
we
need
to
go
to
zero
fossil
fuel
uses.
I
I
There
was
a
you
know,
development
projects
report
that
had
the
carlisle
in
it
and
I
think
it's
important
if
we
relate
that
subject
matter
to
the
you
know,
the
work
of
the
economic
and
cultural
affairs
department
that
it's
totally
relevant
to
be
able
to
talk
about
that
issue,
and
I
hope
that
can
be
okay
to
be
informational
and
to
try
to
provide
you
know.
I
question
the
use
of
the
of
the
economic
committee
cultural
affairs
committee
and
possibly
what
their
role
as
a
facilitator
exactly
means
within
terms
of
the
carlyle.
I
So
with
that
being
said
on
this
item,
thank
you
for
your
patience
with
myself
on
this
item.
I
hope
that
I
can
have
a
little
latitude
to
speak
to
our
overall
planning
of
covet
issues
for
the
next
few
months.
As
this
is
part
of
the
funding
questions,
I
think
we're
working
to
mitigate
the
current
omicron
ideas
or
that's
possible
at
this
time,
and
that
has
been
a
process,
a
people
process.
I
I
B
B
A
Next
hi
good
afternoon,
thank
you.
My
name
is
araceli
reda,
I'm
a
political
organizer
with
sciusw
as
organizations
that
represent
the
workers
at
the
airport.
We
can
be
a
partner
on
many
of
the
issues
addressed
in
this
report.
We
can
work
together
to
address
staff,
sorted
shortages
and
vaccination
levels,
but
in
order
for
that
to
happen,
we
need
to
be
treated
as
a
stakeholder.
A
We
ask
that
this
committee
direct
staff
to
return
once
they
have
undertaken
an
engagement
process
that
includes
that
includes
engagement
with
unions
and
labor
organizations
and
equity
analysis
of
the
airport
living
wage
and
an
actionable
proposal
for
creating
a
structure
for
enhancing
the
voice
of
workers
at
the
sjc.
Thank
you.
N
Good
afternoon
sarah
mcdermott
with
unite
here
local
19.
We
represent
food
and
beverage,
our
food
and
beverage
and
retail
workers
at
sjc.
This
report
exposes
a
much
deeper
issue,
which
is
that
workers
are
not
considered
stakeholders
at
sgjc
and
we're
disappointed
and
honestly,
a
little
flabbergasted
at
the
way.
This
report
fails
to
meet
council's
direction.
That
was
laid
out
in
the
november
memo
from
council
members,
esparza,
jimenez
and
cohen,
and
it
fails
on
several
fronts.
N
We
also
want
to
address
some
inaccuracies
in
this
report.
First
of
all,
it
is
not
true
that
100
of
food
and
beverage
workers
are
currently
under
a
cpa.
Also,
any
cba
exemption
has
to
be
agreed
to
in
negotiations
and
only
when
the
total
compensation
package
exceeds
the
requirements
of
the
living
wage.
N
So
the
living
wage
is
very
much
a
part
of
bargaining
and
I'm
a
little
concerned
that
that
is
not
understood
here
and
I
would
like
to
say
to
director
aiken.
We
are
happy
to
meet
with
you
and
to
discuss
these
issues
and
share
our
perspectives
so
that
we
don't
continue
to
see
these
inaccuracies
reported
to
council.
Thank
you.
M
M
We
know
that
our
airport
and
our
tourism
will
come
back
eventually.
It
may
look
a
little
different,
but
it's
coming
back.
We
also
know
that
the
airport
has
received,
I
believe
so
far,
about
55
million
in
recovery,
faa
funds,
but
the
workers
aren't
seeing
that
and
the
workers
also
are
not
seeing
just
basic
communication
and
respect
and
the
kind
of
relationship
that
we
need
to
have
with
our
workforce
in
these
critical
areas.
M
So
I
would
ask
that
we
continue
to
follow
the
direction
of
the
memo
to
bring
back
a
real
report
that
talks
to
the
workers
and
makes
recommendations
about
how
we
can
improve
working
conditions,
communication
and
respect
if
you're
looking
for
models.
Sfo
has
a
lot
of
these
policies
and
relationships
in
place
that
have
worked
well
even
through
covet
and
I'm
sure
there
are
other
airports
throughout
the
state
that
we
can
look
at.
Thank
you
very
much.
A
A
O
O
A
O
and
everybody
tried
their
best
at
work,
and
we
all
worked
really
hard
where
I
work
at,
we
have
a
big
say
in
what's
going
on,
it's
employee
employer
relations
going
back
and
forth,
and
we
really
feel
validated
after
reading
this
report
and
listening
to
some
of
the
testimony
which
I'm
sure
will
be
ignored,
that
it's
obvious,
that
this
wasn't
done
at
that
level
and
they
are
the
level
that
keeps
the
airport
running
period.
If
you
do
not
have
workers,
you
will
not
have
an
airport
period.
O
A
We,
you
know
we
stand
in
solidarity
with
our
other
union
brothers
and
sisters,
including
here
and
and
thank
council
members,
esparza,
jimenez
and
cohen,
for
putting
forward
the
mo
the
memo
and
the
directive
to
investigate
and
produce
this
report.
But
we
are
also
deeply
disappointed
and
insulted
that
the
voices
of
the
workers
were
not
comprehensively
included
into
the
report.
A
As
everyone
has
said,
you
know,
without
labor
there
the
the
airport
will
not
function.
Our
workers
have
taken
serious
risks.
Our
our
workers
have
taken
serious
economic
hits
when
their
work
slowed
down,
and
so
we
feel
like
it
is
absolutely
essential
that
essential
workers
have
their
voices
included
in
this
report
and
the
analysis
of
how
the
city
of
san
jose
is
going
to
respond
to
providing
adequate
support
to
the
needs
of
the
workers
at
san
jose
airport.
K
So,
in
looking
at
this
report,
it
looks
as
if
the
conditions
of
the
workers
were
from
the
perspective
of
the
businesses
and
did
not
take
into
account
the
voices
of
the
workers,
and
I
understand
that
there
was
an
issue
with
the
minutes
from
the
november
second
meeting
accurately
representing
the
motion.
But
the
motion
included
a
memo
that
I
submitted,
along
with
my
colleagues,
council
members,
cohen
and
jimenez,
giving
the
direction
that
was
followed
for
today
and
and
in
that
memo
it
says.
K
D
D
K
D
I
was
more
focused
on
the
question
that
I
thought
was
at
hand.
Why
are
we
not
hiring
more
employees?
Why
are
the
restaurants
closed?
Why
are
there
hours
you
know
being
cut?
You
know
at
the
restaurant
not
being
open
as
much,
and
so
I
guess
I
took
the
opposite
side
of
the
question
because
I
honestly
did
not
recall
the
part
about
getting
with
the
actual
employees
because
they're
they're
it
would
be.
K
Yeah,
I
think
that
was
the
point
that
we
were
trying
to
make
on
november,
2nd.
That
was.
The
purpose
of
the
discussion
was
to
understand
what
the
employees
and
and
I'll
share
with
you.
I
have
a
lot
of
employees
that
live
in
my
district,
so
these
are
not
strangers
to
me
and
their
families.
I
know
and
that
I
talk
to,
and
so
I
hear
from
them
about
all
the
things
that
they're
going
through
and
then
I
think
I
think
that
is
a
voice.
K
That's
missing
and,
more
importantly,
it
was
a
unanimous
vote
on
the
city
council
on
november,
2nd
that
gave
that
direction,
and
so
I
I
have
one
more
question
before
I
make
a
motion
of
that.
I
I
also
wanted
to
clarify
something
else,
which
is
that
the
report
stated
that
the
concessionaires
continued
to
pay
health
insurance
for
three
months
following
layoffs.
K
D
So
the
union
had
that
money
for
the
sole
purpose
of
paying
the
the
health
care
benefits,
which
should
have
been
enough
money
to
pay
for
three
months,
because
that's
what
they
put
in
the
account
ahead
of
time.
So
the
depending
on
how
you
look
at
it.
I
mean
that,
yes,
the
union
paid
for
the
for
the
health
care
benefits,
but
they
paid
for
it
with
the
money
that
the
concessionaires
gave
them
in
advance,
and
so
that
might
be
where
some
of
the
disagreement
or
misunderstanding
comes
from.
But
that
is
from
speaking
with
our
concessionaires.
B
K
B
N
Yeah,
thank
you
for
the
question.
So
it
is
employers
make
health
care
contributions.
You
know
per
hours
worked,
and
it
is
true
that
they
they
pay
forward
right,
but
it
goes
into
a
union
health
trust
fund,
not
not
directly
to
the
union.
I
don't
want
anyone
to
go
to
jail.
It
goes
to
a
union
health
trust
fund
and
that
trust
fund
covers
the
health
insurance.
N
What
did
not
happen
is
the
employer
stopped
making
contributions
when
people
were
laid
off.
Other
employers,
not
at
the
airport,
such
as
some
of
the
hotels,
continued
to
make
contributions
and
for
several
months
so
that
drains
the
trust
fund
so
to
put
in
that
employers
that
the
concessionaire's
paid
health
insurance
for
an
additional
three
months
is
inaccurate.
That
payment
was
for
hours
worked
in
the
past.
K
Anything
else,
council
and
yeah,
and
it
was
four
hours
worked.
It
wasn't
post
layoff,
so
I
actually
so
I'm.
I
would
like
to
make
a
motion
to
I.
I
think
this
report
is
incomplete
because
it
does
not
meet
the
direction
given
by
council
on
november
2nd,
and
so
I
would
like
to
make
a
motion
to
have
this
come
back
after
those
discussions
take
place
and
rosalind
and
john
trying
to
be
supportive
on
a
date.
When
could
this
come
back
after
those
discussions?
Take
place?
K
Yeah
I
I
agree,
I
feel
you
and
that's
what
I'm
trying
to.
I
also
don't
want
this.
Kick
back
really
yeah,
so
I'll
just
make
the
motion
to
have
this
come
back
after
the
council
direction
has
been
completed
and
if
the
chair
and
john
eakin
and
rosalind
can
work
on
scheduling
that
that
works.
For
me,
great
thanks.
D
I'm
comfortable
making
my
you
know,
making
a
commitment
that
I
I
think
we
can
get
to
the
employees
and
have
those
conversations
in
30
to
45
days,
but
you
know
trying
to
work
around
their
work
schedule
and
all
the
other
pieces
of
that.
So
I
would
think
march
or
maybe
april,
because
you're
the
you
know,
depending
on
how
the
45
days
lays
and
then
I
make
the
report
and
and
do
the
sunshine
it
might
actually
be
april.
But
we'll
do
it
as
fast
as
we
can.
D
K
L
Yeah,
thank
you
very
much
and
actually
council
member.
As
far
as
asked
the
questions
that
I
I
was
curious
about
as
well,
so
it
sounds
like
we
we've
come
to.
I
think
a
good
conclusion
on
on
this
motion
here.
I
think
it's
unfortunate
that
we
are
having
to
go
back
out
and
I
don't
think
that's
building
much
confidence,
obviously
with
the
employees,
but
hopefully
we
can.
We
can
do
that
now,
as
we
go
back
out.
John,
do
you
mind
letting
us
know
how
you
plan
now
on
engaging
the
employees?
L
D
L
A
L
P
Slight
difference:
good
afternoon
chairwoman
foley,
I
am
matt
lash,
I'm
assistant
public
works
director.
I'm
joined
in
this
presentation
by
jennifer
chang
of
our
finance
department,
but
also
in
the
audience
and
joining
me
is
matt
kano.
Our
public
works
director
and
lauren
prophet.
Our
procurement
manager
in
public
works,
so
we're
jennifer,
and
I
are
really
happy
to
be
here
this
afternoon
on
this
topic.
P
It
is
a
little
bit
later
in
the
fiscal
year
than
we
would
typically
be
presenting,
because
this
is
for
2020
through
2021
period
and
we'll
be
doing
this
presentation
in
two
parts.
Jennifer
will
kick
off
and
talk
about
the
bulk
of
the
city's
procurement
work
led
through
purchasing
finance
and
then
I'll
present,
the
cip
procurement
data
itself.
P
B
Q
So
next
slide,
please
just
to
recap:
finance
purchasing
is
responsible
for
the
procurement
contracting
of
equipment,
goods,
non-consulting
services
here
at
the
city,
so
some
examples
include
like
fire,
trucks,
maintenance,
repair
services,
landscaping,
fuel
software
I.t
systems,
and
that
is
alike.
In
the
last
fiscal
year
we
spent
just
over
320
million
dollars
on
these
purchases,
where
a
local
spend
award
is
estimated
to
be
around
31
percent
of
total
spend
and
small
business
award
around
seven
percent.
Q
Q
Unfortunately,
due
to
the
extraordinary
demand
placed
on
purchasing
on
the
purchasing
division
as
a
result
of
the
kovid
19
pandemic,
finance
was
unable
to
expand
our
efforts
in
participating
in
local,
small
and
minority
business
outreach
events.
It
seems
that
the
usual
events
were
not
held
because
of
the
pandemic,
and
we
were
not
made
of
any
events
from
our
usual
partners
and
contacts.
However,
staff
will
continue
to
research
and
pursue
opportunities
to
participate
in
these
outreach
events
as
made
available
and
appropriate
next
slide.
Please.
Q
So,
as
you
can
see,
overall
spend
has
been
trending
upwards
in
the
last
five
years
and
in
particular,
in
the
last
two
fiscal
years
and
from
20
19
20,
20
21,
you
see
a
bigger
spend
and
the
reason
for
this
is
is
because
of
the
pandemic.
In
march,
2020
staff
delayed
the
competitive
bidding
process
and
extended
and
increased
many
existing
purchase
orders
so
that
we
could
prioritize
coped.
Q
19
procurements
in
contracting
in
2012
in
2020
21
staff,
then
has
been
trying
to
play
catch-up
on
the
backlog
of
the
tournament
requests
that
have
accumulated,
while
also
prioritizing,
while
trying
to
address
the
copit19
procurement
and
contracting
so
based
on
available
methodology
and
data
overall
spend
with
local
businesses
has
grown
with
some
growth.
With
regards
to
small
businesses
and
the
last
fiscal
year
in
2020
21
that
last
bar
there.
We
estimate
that
local
spend
comprised
of
about
98.7
million
dollars
and
small
business
spend
was
about
21.7
million
dollars.
Q
This
slide
here
shows
the
trend
and
a
number
of
purchase,
orders
and
contracts
award
made
by
fiscal
year
broken
up
by
local,
I'm
sorry
matt.
Can
we
go
to
next
next
slide?
Please
thank
you.
So
this
slide
here
just
slide
four.
This
shows
the
number
of
purchase,
orders
and
contracts
award
made
by
fiscal
year,
broken
up
by
local,
small
and
other
businesses.
Q
Taking
that
previous
slide
that
you
just
saw
together
with
this
one,
you
can
see
that
the
city
has
increased
contract,
spend
with
a
slightly
smaller
pool
of
local
and
small
business
vendors
and
reviewing
the
data.
It
seems.
The
city
has
significantly
reduced,
spend
in
some
commodities
or
in
some
cases,
did
not
spend
at
all,
and
those
commodities
would
be
furniture
building,
maintenance
services,
telecommunication,
printing
fuel,
video
production
and
various
small
dollar
and
miscellaneous
goods
and
services,
which
may
make
sense,
given
the
number
of
people
who
have
been
working
remotely
throughout
the
pandemic,.
P
So
as
we
transition
to
the
capital
improvement
program,
public
works,
construction
procurement
is
largely
managed
by
the
department
of
public
works
for
the
various
departments
in
the
city
and
led
by
lauren
profit
on
our
procurement
team.
When
we're
talking
about
public
works
procurement,
the
definition
of
local
and
small
for
us
is
the
same
as
local
and
small.
P
The
most
notable
difference
for
today's
report
is
that
no
preferences
are
allowed
on
major
public
works
contracts.
The
municipal
code
during
2020
2021,
the
city
awarded
contracts
for
39
major
public
works
projects
where
a
total
value
of
121
million
dollars
of
those
39
major
contracts,
11
of
those
contracts
worth
about
19
million,
was
awarded
to
local
businesses
and
of
those
six
of
those
contracts
were
also
small
again,
our
definition
is
that
it,
you
have
to
be
local,
and
I
think
we
miss
that
definition.
P
So
I'll
just
clarify
that
again,
so
a
local,
a
local
business
in
for
our
our
purposes
is
a
company
that
has
its
headquarters
or
a
satellite
office
in
the
county
of
santa
clara
and
that
satellite
offset
needs
to
have
one
full-time
employees
that
gets
the
local
portion
in
order
to
get
credit
for
small.
It
has
to
be
both
local,
have
a
santa
clara
county
office
and
have
35
or
fewer
employees.
P
P
Last
year
there
was
a
slight
decrease
in
the
percentage
of
contracts
awarded
to
local
and
small
for
the
major
contracts
year
to
year.
Fluctuations
are
pretty
much
expected
because
the
type
of
projects
varies
year
to
year,
and
you
know
the
39
project
amount,
it's
not
a
very
large
number,
and
so,
but
those
local
there
are
more
local
contractors
for
certain
types
of
work
and
not
for
others,
for
example.
P
Additionally,
there's
a
currently
a
pretty
high
demand
for
contractors
in
the
private
sector
and
it's
possible
that
this
is
impacting
our
local
contractors,
possibly
seeking
work
with
us.
What's
interesting,
these
projects
can
be
fairly
large.
It
does
not
include
detail
on
our
subcontraries.
Many
of
these
super
large
contracts
and
these
big
contracts
have
a
number
of
subcontractors,
and
this
is
not
included
in
the
local
and
small
for
the
the
numbers.
We're
looking
at
ways
to
capture
that
data,
though
switching
to
the
minor
public
works
contracts.
Remember
that
minor
threshold
was
about
620
000.
P
These
are
public
works
projects.
The
music
code
permits
us
to
apply
a
preference
or
bid
credit
to
the
local
and
small
business
for
2021.
The
city
awarded
32
minor
public
works
projects
for
about
12
and
a
half
million
dollars
of
those
32
12
of
them
were
worth
about.
4.6
million
were
awarded
to
local
businesses,
and
five
of
those
local
businesses
were
also
small
for
about
2.6
million.
It
is
interesting
to
note
the
majority
of
our
miners
were
permitted
were
constructed
by
our
partners
in
dot.
P
P
Few
responses
were
really
received,
we're
looking
at
ways
to
increase
feedback
and
get
from
our
contractors
better
participation,
but
analyzing
overall
participation
and
rates
by
looking
at
bids
received.
We
think
the
data
is
a
little
more
positive,
so
across
all
these
procurements,
both
majors
and
minors,
the
39
majors
and
the
32
miners.
The
city
received
almost
400
bids
for
those
projects
from
117
different
contractors
of
those
117
contractors.
P
27
contractors
for
bidding
on
projects
were
local
and
the
bids
that
were
submitted
account
were
for
30
of
the
400
were
also
local,
we're
seeing
some
alignment,
the
percentages
of
local
contractors
bidding
27
and
the
local
contractor
bids
30
is
in
pretty
good
relation
to
the
percentage
of
local
contractors
getting
awarded.
So
if
local
contractors
are
are
bidding
and
putting
in
numbers
of
bids
consistently
they're
consistently
getting
a
consistent
amount
of
awards.
P
We
would
like
to
share
just
a
few
items.
We
do
talk
about
the
public
works
contracting
program
to
share
what
the
city,
what
we
are
doing
to
get
the
word
out
on
the
street,
of
what
city's
public
works,
construction
projects,
their
overarching
umbrella
on
the
left,
to
what
we
brand
as
a
public
works
construction
academy,
the
opportunity,
awareness,
events
and
construction
contracting
seminars
are
two
events.
We
have
for
consistent
outreach
that
we
held
some
this
last
year
we
held
two
opportunity:
awareness
events
in
2021,
with
45
vendors
from
various
trades
and
the
construction
seminars.
P
The
construction
contracting
seminar
is
being
converted
into
an
online
interactive
module,
they'll
be
available
for
contractors
on
the
city's
website
at
any
time.
One
thing
we
did
note
it
was.
It
is
hard
for
these
small
contractors-
these
loca,
these
small
contractors,
to
break
time
away
at
a
specific
time.
For
several
weeks
in
a
row,
so
we
think
having
this
available
on
call
for
them
would
be
really
important.
P
P
We're
going
to
continue
on
the
far
right,
the
local
and
small
preference
that
will
be
continuing
to
apply
we're
going
to
continue
to
to
gather
this
information
as
best
we
can.
The
cio
is
studying
if
an
increase
in
the
credit
is
legally
allowable
for
the
vice
mayor
of
memo
that
was
requested
and
that
information
is
forthcoming.
P
We
would
like
to
seek
some
input
and
from
the
from
the
committee
on
our
overall
presentation
and
a
few
other
thoughts.
Knowing
that
you
know,
if
you
come
up
with
lots
of
new
initiatives,
we
don't
have
a
lot
of
staff.
We
can
poke
around
at
some
things
but
to
say
whole
brand
new
initiatives,
we're
not
really
staffed
to
dig
into
full
things
like
that,
but
we
would
like
to
know
what
is
the
overall
goal
that
you
would
like
to
have
for
us?
P
P
Do
you
know
of
any
pools
of
willing
and
available
contractors
that
we're
missing
we'd
love
to
talk
with
them?
Are
our
current
percentages,
seemingly
right
for
you
we're
at
about
30
percent
of
local
and
small
contractors?
Getting
the
awards
to
both
minors
and
major
contracts
is.
Does
that
feel
and
seem
right
to
you?
We
have
this
debate
internally
as
we
look
through
incentives
and
things
as
lauren
tries
new
things
in
the
programs
to
try
to
seek
to
get
more
participation.
P
B
H
Thank
you
paul
from
horseshoe,
sir.
I
would
like
that
number
to
come,
51
that
that's,
not
okay,
the
the
awarding
and
then
saying
oh
well,
you
just
can't
find
nobody,
so
you
have
to
go
to
the
other
ones.
No,
that's
sorry,
man,
you,
120
million
dollars,
went
out.
Okay
and
only
18
million
went
to
local
people.
No,
I
want
that
number.
I
want
those
percentages
50
of
the
outgoing
money.
H
I
want
local
number
two
somebody
got
to
get
a
hold
of
one
of
these
non-profits
man,
I'll
get
a
hold
of
them
I'll.
Do
that,
for
you
I'll,
get
a
hold
of
some
non-profits
man
and
find
out
where
the
contractors
are
out
and
then
you'll
deal
with
me.
Okay,
because
I'll
be
the
one
that's
up
in
that
room,
making
sure
that
that
money
stays
local.
I
already
know
where
that
money's
going
man
that
kind
of
matt
matt
cano
charge
me.
So
I
already
know
where
the
money's
going.
I
already
know
what
time
it
is.
H
You
guys
are
asking
for
really
earlier
in
the
con
early
year
in
this
presentation
the
senora
miss
jennifer.
She
said
of
fire
trucks,
and
you
know
this
and
that
and
no
no
it's
not
their
fire
truck
is
not
mentioned
one
time
here,
not
one
time
fire
department
not
mentioned
one
time.
You
got
a
10-page
memo,
not
one
time.
Do
your
word
search
on
it,
it's
not
there.
Okay,
so
I
don't
appreciate
you
coming
up
in
here,
starting
a
presentation
like
that
and
that's
not
existing
in
the
contract
man.
I
got
a
photographic
memory.
H
I
remember
everything,
so
that's
how
so
there
needs
to
be
some
really
serious
changes.
Also,
the
language,
I'm
sick
and
tired
of
seeing
minority-owned
businesses,
I'm
not
a
minority,
I'm
a
chicano,
I'm
a
mexican.
This
is
still
mexico.
I
don't
care
what
your
flag
says
or
what
your
damn
decoration
says.
J
J
Our
climate
issues
needs
to
be
put
into
all
our
decision
making
and
all
of
our
awards
how
green
the
business
is,
and
so
that's
anything
about,
and
when
I
was
talking
about
with
small
businesses
and
in
regards
to
blog
a
was
in
regards
to
the
farmers
market,
for
instance,
you
know
you
have
the
the
trucks
there
that
serve
food
and
they
bring.
You
know
all
the
trucks
that
do
deal
with
the
food
generation.
Those
need
to
be
given
money
by
our
city
to
become
green.
J
They
get
solar
panels
on
the
top
of
their
trucks.
They
could,
you
know,
run
their.
You
know
little
cooking
equipment
on
that
and
that's
what
we
need
to
start
doing
is
supporting
businesses
and
and
helping
them
to
be
fossil
fuel
free
and
no
don't
not
using
any
fossil
fuels
to
run
their
vehicles.
So
ideally,
we
would
even
get
them
electric.
If
we're
going
to
be
supporting
truck
food
presentation,
then
they
need
to
have
electric
trucks
and
they
need.
J
You
know
solar
panel
to
run
their
operations,
which
they
can
actually
run
off
of
their
trucks,
which
is
really
a
really
good
idea
too.
So
it's
like
how
do
we
that's
how
we
need
to
be
focusing
our
money
on
putting
businesses
that
have
them
use
no
fossil
fuels?
That
has
to
be
our
emphasis
and
goal
going
forward
to
get
us
to.
I
I
You
know
the
future
of
when
we
purchase
surveillance
and
data
collection
technology.
We
can
start
to
make
ass
in
the
procurement
stage
that
the
the
the
technology
that
currently
is
aggregate
data,
that's
swept
up.
That
can
have
a
bit
more
a
better
system
of
civil
rights
and
civil
protections
that
that
that
creates
the
ideas
of
sanctuary
city
policies
even
better.
We
can
refine
those
policies
with
aggregate
data
things
at
this
time.
We
can
start
to
do
that.
Good
luck
in
those
efforts
and
with
small
business
loans,
and
things
like
that.
I
K
Thank
you
chair,
I
so
matt.
You
asked
us
for
input
I'll,
give
my
input,
which
is
yes
to
local
businesses
and
yes
to
local
hires.
I
think
that's
what
we
would
love
to
see.
Everybody
do
well
and
make
lots
of
money
and
have
a
good
quality
of
life
right.
So
so
that's
my
preference.
Speaking
for
myself
and-
and
I
had
a
question-
thank
you
for
this
report.
K
First
off
it
was
really
helpful
and
I
had
a
question
it
it's
you
know
we
took
a
dip
right
with
the.
Where
is
it
the
awarded
co?
The
major
awarded
contracts
took
a
dip
and
then
on
terms
of
the
dollars
percentage
of
dollars
awarded,
we
were
able
to
go
up
a
little
bit
in
2021
and
do
you
attribute
that
entirely
to
the
pandemic
and
the
stop
of
the
the
outreach
meetings
that
were
occurring?
K
P
Yeah,
I
think
the
what's
interesting.
The
fluctuations
from
year
to
year
are
pretty
hard
to
determine
a
single
thread.
First
of
all,
they're
pretty
small
numbers
of
projects.
You
know
we
only
had
39
awarded
projects
last
year
and
the
number
that
number
doesn't
fluctuate
that
much
year
to
year,
it's
between
you
know
almost
up
to
50
at
kind
of
at
the
peak
on
these
majors.
P
When
you
don't
have
that
big
of
a
number,
any
particular
kind
of
project
could
swing
it
one
way
or
another,
or
if
we
had
a
really
large
dollar
number.
Let's
say
there
was
a
big
one
at
the
at
the
regional
wastewater
facility
of
let's
say
a
75
million
dollar
project
that
sucks
up
a
lot
of
that
number.
It
could
really
influence
from
year
to
year
what
they
that
it
could
be.
We
didn't
see
since
the
outreach
events
were
really
trying
to
get
new
people
as
part
of
our
contracting
fold.
P
We
didn't
necessarily,
even
though
we
held
off
on
one,
we
did
still
hold
two
last
year.
We
didn't
think
that
that
necessarily
influenced
it,
because
those
are
for
new
ones.
It
was
really
we'd
expect
some
fluctuation
year
to
year.
It
really
would
have
to
be
the
types
of
projects
and
then
what
kind
of
local
contracting
community
we
have
for
those
types
of
projects,
but
again
we
only
have
about
40.
So
it's
not.
We
have
a
great
insight
as
to
what's
the
real
trigger.
K
L
L
L
Yeah,
thank
you
sorry.
So
I
would
agree
you
know
looking
for
you're
looking
for
that
feedback,
absolutely,
I
think
the
benefit
to
hiring
more
local
contractors
and
ultimately
local
employees,
is
that
that
economic
development
stays
within
the
city
right,
so
it
the
the
revenue,
is
being
generated,
the
salaries
being
made.
All
of
that
is
gonna
is
gonna,
stay
right
here
in
our
city
and
and
benefit
us
versus
the
more
contracts
that
we
are
issuing
to.
L
I
I
you
know,
I
think
that
we
need
to
be
striving
essentially
for
as
high
as
as
marx's
as
we
can
achieve,
and
I
appreciate
councilmember
spars
of
bringing
up
that
question
about.
You
know
hey
what
maybe
triggered
some
of
the
drop,
because
I
think
that's
a
that's
the
that's
the
very
first
thing
that
we
look
at
and
say
well
if
it
attributed
to
a
drop
in
in
our
overall
achievement
of
contracts
to
smaller
minority
local
owned
businesses.
L
We
certainly
have
an
outreach
capability
with
our
constituencies
and
a
lot
of
our
constituencies.
Right
are
the
employees
or
even
some
of
the
owners
right
of
these
companies
and
and
to
the
extent
that
we
can
help
and
partner.
I
know
vta
has
their
meet
the
prime
annual
event
where
they're
they're
offering
up
local
minority
owned
businesses
to
be
able
to
meet
the
the
the
prime
contractors
for
vta
contracts
and
being
able,
so
these
subs
can
can
get
into
contracts.
L
B
I
I
the
just
to
echo
what
council,
member
perales
and
esparza
said
we
employ
local
businesses,
they
employ
local
workers,
the
those
people
live
and
work
in
our
community,
and
we
benefit
from
them
working
here
locally
and
staying
here
locally
and
they
benefit
as
well.
So
anything
we
can
do
to
increase
those
numbers.
B
P
So
that's
currently
being
studied
by
the
city
attorney's
office,
and
so
we
don't
have
the
final
review
from
that
and
johnny's
unmuting.
So
he'll
happily
take
that
question,
but
largely
it'll
be
what
comes
out
of
that
review.
What
triggers
are
there
any
issues
towards
having
a
higher
higher
incentive.
A
A
I
know
we
do
have
a
10
total
preference
in
some
context
like
in
the
purchasing
context
for
rfqs
but
yeah.
So
I
think
a
five
percent
preference
has
been
upheld
by
the
courts
and
I
don't
think
there's
any
cases
out
there
in
terms
of
a
10
percent
preference.
We
think
it's
probably
defensible,
but
there's
no
court
cases
on
point.
B
P
I
believe
it
stated
in
the
municipal
code
that
it
was
600
000
with
a
cpi
increasing
annually,
so
for
the
period
that
we're
talking
before
it
was
620
000,
it's
some
figure
higher
than
that
now.
I
believe,
like
650
000
right
now
for
this
year's
major
minor
threshold.
So
it
was
something
that
was
put
in
front
of
the
voters
that
we
changed
that
threshold
and
then
it
was
acted
in
2019.
P
C
C
We
adjust
it
effective
every
july,
first
subject
to
the
inflation
as
measured
in
the
construction
industry
in
the
bay
area.
So
it
was
six
hundred
thousand
dollars.
It
went
up
the
next
year
to
six
twenty
right.
Now,
it's
six
fifty
and
we
will
be
adjusting
it
in
just
a
few
months
to
be
effective,
janu,
I'm
sorry
july.
First
for
the
the
next
fiscal
year.
B
P
The
small
threshold
is
35
employees,
and
so,
and
so
if
you
have
a
project
that
gets,
I
mean
a
650
000
project
is
a
large
construction
project.
It
is
not
a
minor
issue,
even
though
it's
a
minor
construction
project
and
sometimes
we're
actually
stretching
our
small
contractors
and
they're
feeling
that
burden
to
be
able
to
perform.
P
What
we
want
is
to
try
to
have
a
good
mix
of
those
minor
contracts
from
small
ones,
lauren's,
let
out
contract
bids
in
the
hundred
thousand
hundred
and
fifty
thousand
seventy
five
thousand
dollar
mark
recently
and
trying
to
get
so.
That's
one
of
the
ways
is
to
make
sure
we
have
contracts
that
are
small
enough,
that
they
can
have.
They
can
one
that
they
can
achieve
and
be
successful
and
then
build
up
that
muscle,
so
they
can
be
successful
to
going
at
a
bit
larger.
P
B
So,
thank
you.
I
I'm
understanding
this
a
little
bit
more
now,
so
is
there
a
sweet
spot
for
these
small
businesses
with
35
employees
or
less
that
is
attractive
for
them
to
apply
for
them
to
bid
and
complete
the
project
and
not
and
do
it
successfully,
because
I
understand
35
employees,
that's
their
limitation.
P
That's
a
fantastic
question.
I
don't
know
I
have
a
wonderful
answer
for
you
because
it
would
all
depend
on
because
some
of
these
large
constructions
have
a
lot
of
material
in
it.
Some
of
them
have
a
lot
of
labor
mixed
into
it,
and
so
it
depends
on
which,
which
combination?
That
is,
if
it's
a
lot
of
material,
maybe
a
small
team
of
people
can
do
that
efficiently,
things
that
require
a
lot
of
specialized
labor.
P
That
might
be
a
stretch
for
a
small
company
to
do
so.
It
probably
would
depend
you
know
and
as
that
mix
of,
if
we're
just
talking
about
construction
or
if
we're
talking
about
commodity
or
manufacturing
and
what
things
can
come
out
of
finance
purchasing
as
well.
There's
probably
a
lot
of
mixes
between
those
two
groups
that
you
should.
We
should
consider.
C
And
it
can
even
depend
on
how
busy
the
contractors
are
at
the
moment,
because
their
bonding
capacity
could
be
stretched
to
the
max
that
they
can't
bid
on
any
more
of
our
small
projects.
They're
already
busy
doing
enough
other
work,
so
they
aren't
bidding
on
even
our
smaller
projects
that
we
put
out.
B
B
We
have
large
contractors
and
then
they
sub
out
with
subcontractors
sub
contractors
can
be
small
and
small
local
businesses
as
well
and
matt.
You
mentioned
we're,
not
really.
We
don't
have
a
tracking
that
way,
but
it
seems
to
me
that
if
we
could
track
that
or
we're
tracking
that
that
might
increase
our
numbers
of
small
local
owned
businesses.
P
And
also
agreed,
it
would
certainly
engage
more
of
the
locals
and
smalls
in
our
work.
The
challenge
would
be
would
be,
would
would
we
be
tricking
the
numbers
then
by
saying
we're
bringing
them
in
when
we're
bringing
them
these
major
contracts
and
we'd
have
to
think
about
how
we
would
report
them
carefully
so
that
we
could
say
of
the
so
we'd
have
to
think
through.
That's
one
of
our
challenges.
How
do
we
track
that?
How
do
we
then
report
on
it
and
keep
consistent
year
to
year?
B
B
So,
for
me,
it's
not
just
a
local
business,
it's
the
local
employee,
so
it's
even
in
those
subcontractors
they're
lo
they
could
be
local
and
that's
that's
important,
but
thank
you
that
I
thank
you
for
that.
That's
educated
me
quite
a
bit,
I'm
that's
the
end
of
my
questions
and
with
that
I
don't
see
any
other
hands
raised.
So
let's
vote.
I
A
I
A
E
E
First,
deputy
city
manager,
rob
lloyd,
will
be
joining
me
and
sponsoring
this
enterprise
priority.
So
we're
glad
to
have
rob
and
his
expertise
to
help
us
and
also
just
want
to
introduce
other
team
members,
carlos
velasquez,
who
you
will
be
hearing
from
later
in
our
presentation
he
is
serving
on
the
team.
He
is
an
assistant
to
the
city
manager.
E
We
also
have
aurelia
bailly,
serving
as
assistant
to
the
city
manager,
on
the
team,
as
well
as
katarina
to
vera,
who
is
helping
out
the
team
as
well
so
just
wanted
to
make
sure
committee
members
and
members
of
the
public
were
aware
of
our
team
members
working
on
this
really
important
effort.
So
next
slide.
E
First
and
foremost,
we
got
feedback
about
the
importance
of
supporting
our
small
businesses
and
helping
to
stabilize
and
support
our
families.
We
got
a
suggestion
that
the
committees
could
I'm
sorry.
The
task
force
could
either
form
committees
or
solution
groups
to
kind
of
delve
into
special
area
topics
or
things
that
it
was
particular
interest
to
them
and
also
that
would
be
a
way
to
engage
more
of
our
residents
and
small
businesses.
E
E
R
Assistant
to
the
city,
manager
and
part
of
the
city's
recovery
task
force
team.
So
soon
after
confirming
the
task
force.
Member
roster,
in
october,
we
launched
a
web
page
on
the
city's
website,
san
jose
ca.gov
covid19
recovery
to
keep
the
public
informed
about
the
task.
Force's
work
page
includes
related
council,
memos
list
of
task
force,
members,
meeting,
agendas
and
presentations,
correspondence,
meeting
notes
and
links
to
the
youtube
recordings
and
speaking
of
the
meetings,
we've
now
held
three
recovery
task
force
meetings
since
november
of
2021..
R
The
first
recovery
task
force
meeting
was
held
virtually
via
zoom
on
november
4th,
and
it
served
more
as
an
orientation
for
task
force
members.
We
wanted
to
make
sure
they
understood
the
purpose,
roles
and
responsibilities
of
the
task
force.
We
reviewed
the
brown
act
and
public
records
act.
We
decided
on
group
agreements
during
to
ensure
that
task
force
members
could
would
feel
included,
heard
and
valued,
and
we
also
had
them
share
their
initial
thoughts
and
ideas
on
community
engagement
and
the
city's
recovery
initiatives
currently
underway.
R
We
continued
this
necessary
part
of
setting
the
the
foundation
for
this
task
force's
work,
so
we
focused
on
the
kova
19
recovery
initiatives
within
the
city
roadmap,
which
are,
as
roosevelt
mentioned
earlier,
housing
stabilization,
re-employment
and
workforce
development,
small
business
recovery,
food
and
necessities,
distribution,
digital
equity
and
child
care.
So
for
each
of
these
recovery
initiatives
we
had
city
staff
present
the
scope,
objectives,
budget
and
key
results
to
date
of
this
initiative,
as
well
as
next
steps
and
how
task
force
members
can
help
connect
the
services
and
programs
within
these
initiatives
to
residents.
R
After
a
brief
update
on
recent
trends
on
in
covet,
19
data
discuss
the
committee
ideas
that
were
submitted
by
task
force
members.
They
were
giving
some
homework
from
the
meeting
in
december
and
january
to
submit
their
for
committee
topics
and,
as
mentioned
committees,
will
play
a
tremendous
role
in
achieving
the
goals
of
the
task
force,
as
they
will
help
us
have
that
nuanced
deeper
conversation
that
would
be
difficult
to
have
with
the
entire
group.
R
So,
at
the
january
meeting
we
presented
31
committee
ideas
that
were
submitted
by
19
task
force
members
to
guide
the
discussion.
We
with
the
the
ideas
generally
fell
into
seven
categories
that
we
that
we
should
share
to
the
task
force
at
that
meeting,
which
were
supporting
workers
supporting
small
businesses,
housing
community
engagement
data
and
budgeting
community
health
and
wellness
and
arts
and
culture.
R
We
had
a
great
discussion
on
each
of
these
committee
ideas,
which
included
a
breakout
discussion
to
allow
for
more
of
the
task
force
members
to
participate
via
smaller
groups,
educating
and
connecting
families
to
child
care.
Before
and
after
school
programs
and
other
youth
development
programs
was
one
idea
that
emerged
from
these
discussions
as
well
as
recognizing
that
the
committee
topics
would
not
be
mutually
exclusive
and
that
with
each
each
of
these
themes
having
been
related
to
them
in
one
way
or
another,
which
is
one
of
the
reasons
why
task
force?
R
So
I
mentioned
the
website
san
jose
ca.gov
covid19
recovery
is
a
great
resource
to
stay
updated
with
the
city
tech
with
the
task
force's
work.
The
page
includes
meeting
agendas
and
presentations
notes
from
the
meetings,
including
translated
versions
of
those
notes
and
agendas
in
spanish
and
vietnamese
and
links
to
the
youtube
recordings
of
the
meetings
as
well.
R
There
is
an
email
in
the
screen,
cer
task
force
at
san
josec8.gov
for
anybody
who's
watching
and
is
interested
in
communicating
with
the
task
force
team
to
send
us
an
email
with
questions
and,
as
mentioned
earlier
rosalind-
and
I
are
proud
to
be
part
of
the
recovery
team
as
along
with
our
colleagues,
aurelia,
katarina
and
ra.
So
I
believe
that
is
to
end
our
update.
H
Yes,
paul
soto
from
horseshoe
bienvenido
senor
velazquez
for
a
first
try
and
a
first
appearance
yeah.
I
like
it.
I
like
it.
You
delivered
the
information
correctly.
You
you
gave
me
exactly
what
I
needed,
because
I
ain't
been
at
these
meetings.
I
don't
know
that
these
meetings
are
going
on
ain't.
Nobody
contacting
me
ain't
nobody's
saying
nothing.
So
at
the
end
of
this
call,
I'm
going
to
be
contacting
you
to
the
city
email
system,
okay,
because
I
would
like
it.
H
I
would
feel
privileged
and
honored
if
you
would
have
a
meeting
with
me
so
that
I
can
give
you
my
background.
I'm
a
sixth
generation
chicano
from
sasi,
my
father's
tent,
which
I
have
a
picture
of
on
the
grounds
of
what
is
now
guadalupe
church,
but
it
wasn't
there
when
he
was
there.
What
was
there
was
mayfair
pack,
okay
and
at
seven
eight
nine
years
old,
my
father
was
eligible
to
vote
in
union
in
union
votes
in
union
elections.
My
father
was
qualified
at
ten.
H
My
mother
was
beaten
in
the
schools.
For
speaking
spanish,
I
don't
speak
spanish
as
a
result,
so
I
would
really
appreciate
it
if
you-
and
I
could
talk
because
you
seem
like
somebody
that
I
can
talk
to
and
that
I
can
listen
to
okay,
because
what's
going
on
in
the
city,
with
respect
to
kobe
and
all
of
these
everything
everything
that's
on
this
list-
everybody
all
these
non-profits.
H
If
I
got
them
all
in
a
room,
they
would
all
sound
the
same
equity,
equity,
equity,
diversion
inclusion,
that's
how
it
sounds,
dude,
that's
how
it
sounds,
and
then
I
get
in
a
room-
and
I
start
saying
hey
check
this
out.
This
needs
to
have
this
this
this
this.
What
I
want
to
do
I
smell.
Well,
I
smell
a
well
guy
because
that
bottle
came
up
in
here
into
this
room
and
thought
he
was
gonna
lie.
Why?
H
Because
we're
mexican-
and
they
still
think
that
we're
stupid,
they
were
idiots
that
were
ignorant
and
that
we
know
nothing
about
what's
coming
at
us.
We
know
because
we've
lived
in
the
valley,
we
have
to
grow
up
around
danger,
so
we
can
sniff
it
a
mile
away
I'll
be
looking
forward
to
talking
to
you.
I
I
You
know
that
can
easily
familiarize
yourselves
with
the
work
of
the
cert
program
in
san
jose
and
which
suggests
to
me
there's
a
component
to
this
upcoming
task
force
that
can
address
the
future
questions
of
natural
disaster
preparedness
practices.
We
can
go
through
as
a
community
at
this
time
in
the
next
year.
I
hope
those
subject
matter
is
discussed
openly
and
that
I
think,
can
be
a
really
important
good
addition
to
the
future
ideas
of
reimagine
racial
equity
and
health
and
human
services
ideas.
I
I
I
don't
think
that
that
means
that
they
have
to
be
quite
as
beholden
to
the
community,
but
I
still
hope
that
you
know
for
your
subcommittee
meeting
process
and
your
meetings
that
you
want
to
work
towards
a
public
accessibility
and
and
for
the
public
to
be
able
to
get
a
sense
of
what
meetings
are
what
is
happening
at
the
meetings
and,
I
think
that's
an
important
concept.
I
think
the
reimagine
task
force
is
starting
to
really
learn
and
and
do
well,
and
we've
developed,
possibly
some
interesting
balances.
I
J
So
with
that
we
don't
have
to
have
year
after
year,
covered
19
recovery
task
force
because
it
will
keep
going
and,
and
the
thing
was,
it
was
just
something
about
the
airport
or
the
airport,
never
closed
during
kovid
yeah.
That's
another
problem.
I
mean
the
countries
that
have
been
controlling
the
kovic,
like
china
and
new
zealand
have
really
shut
things
down
and
that's
what
we
we're
not
doing
that
and
that's
why
we're
suffering
through
this
continuously,
because
we
have
not
made
the
systemic
changes.
J
Those
are
critical
things
that
we
have
to
do,
and
we
have
to
be
examples
of
that,
because
I
was
unhappy
to
hear
pam
that
you
were
flying
this
this
holiday
so-
and
I
know
you'll
be
mad
at
me,
like
you
were
before
that.
I
chastise
you,
but
we
need
to
be
looking
at
each
other's
behavior
if
climate
change
is
human
cause,
which
it
is
that
we
have
to
be
changing.
M
Thank
you,
louise
auerhan,
again
from
working
partnerships,
I'm
an
alternate
on
the
task
force
and
I've
attended
all
the
meetings.
So
far,
and
I
do
I
want
to
thank
roslyn
huey
and
this
staff
for
their
engagement
and
support,
and
you
know
really
trying
to
sort
of
corral
this
task
force,
which
I
think
has
it's
huge
it
has
over
60
members.
M
I
so
I
think
that
as
the
task
force
develops,
hopefully
that
will
change.
I
think
that
the
subcommittees
could
be
like
the
solutions.
Groups
that
have
been
developed
out
of
the
duradon
task
force
could
be
a
place
where
there's
really
the
chance
for
dialogue
and
generative
thinking
from
the
task
force
members.
So
I
really
hope
that,
having
brought
this
amazing
group
of
community
leaders
together,
you'll
really
be
able
to
engage
and
help
use
them
to
the
full
potential
to
help
us
all
recover
from
covet.
Thank
you.
B
Thank
you,
louise,
and
thank
you
for
the
comments
about
the
task
force.
I
agree
they
have
a
tremendous
work
and
that
big
of
a
task
force
it's
hard
to
get
work
done,
but
it's
really
important
and
impactful
work.
So
I
it's
really
good
to
see
how
many
subcommittees
they
have
working
and
their
their
focus
council.
Member
perales.
L
Yeah,
thank
you.
I'd
appreciate
the
update
from
staff
as
well.
I
know
this
is
a
lot
has
been
a
lot
to
pull
together
and
certainly
a
lot
of
people.
Stakeholders
that
that
we
had,
I
think,
requested
or
suggested
should
should
be
a
part
of
it.
But
when
you're
looking
at
something
city-wide,
I
think
it's,
you
know
it's
we're
big
city,
and
so
it's
it
takes
a
lot
of
individuals
to
be
able
to
to
wholly
participate,
and
I
would
agree,
I
think
I
really
would
like
to
see.
L
You
know
the
most
input
possible
coming
out
of
this.
So
I
do
appreciate
that
the
committee
structure
that
is
coming
out
of
it
and
would
like
to
to
really
see
some
some
input
here.
I
think
we've
we've
recognized
that
the
pandemic
is
going
to
have
impacts,
as
we've
seen.
You
know
this
year
again
we're
about
to
to
enter
the
third
year
and
and-
and
we
know
that
we're
essentially
still
in
crisis
mode
as
we're
here
in
mandatory.
L
You
know
remote
work
mode,
and-
and
so
we
still
haven't
even
come
to
the
phase
where
I
think
we're
we're
looking
at
what
a
full
recovery
might,
you
know
might
be
for
us.
In
essence,
I
think
what
we've
all
come
to
accept
is
that
this
is
how
we're
having
to
work.
Now.
This
is
a
new
normal
and,
ultimately,
as
we
do
emerge
from
the
pandemic.
It's
at
some
point
here
in
the
future.
L
L
But
I
don't
I
don't
believe
they're
at
that
stage
and
then
they
could-
and
I
would
hope
this
is
what
I'm
hoping
is-
that
they
will
be
able
to
provide
some
recommendations
and
those
that
are
specific
to
the
budget
to
at
least
the
council,
so
that
that
way,
through
our
opportunity
on
issuing
budget
documents
in
april
and
then
may
ultimately
before
we
adopt
the
full
budget.
We
have
an
opportunity
to
consider
what
this
task
force
interests
are
and
what
some
of
their
directions
may
be.
L
I'm
afraid
that
if
we
pass
through
this
budget
cycle,
we're
going
to
be
allocating
all
the
the
remainder
of
the
arpa
dollars
and
then
we're
going
to
be
at
a
mid-year
budget
by
the
time
that
this
task
force
has
its
complete
recommendations
to
us
at
the
end
of
the
year
and
and
then
we're
we're
already
behind
in
in
what
we
might
be
able
to
do
so
curious
from
staff.
On
your
thoughts
on.
E
E
So
that's
why
we're
quite
eager
to
start
the
committee
process,
because
we
think
it's
during
that
process
that
we'll
see
some
things
emerge
immediately
and
to
the
extent
that
there
are
some
new
ideas
that
the
task
force
want
to
pass
on
to
the
city
council
that
we
might
be
able
to
do
that
in
the
april
may
time
frame.
Also,
you
know
we
should
consider
that
there
may
be
opportunity
in
the
2223
budget
to
also
perhaps
for
council,
to
consider
some
recommendations
that
could
be
funded
through
that
next
budget
process
as
well.
L
L
You
know
if
we
didn't
incorporate
those
recommendations
until
the
2022-2023
budget.
As
we
know,
you
know
that
would
really
start
in
2020
or
excuse
me
in
july
of
2022
and
and
then
ultimately,
it
takes
time
right
to
whatever
you're
allocating
funding,
for
we
could
be
potentially
a
year
before
we
we
after
this
task
force,
is
completed.
We
can
be
a
year
beyond
that
by
the
time
we
start
to
see
some
of
those
dollars
take
effect.
L
So
that's
my
concern
and
why
I'd
like
to
just
see
if
there
is
any
recommendations
that
they
have,
that
could
be
surfaced
sooner
for
us
to
consider
this
budget
cycle.
That's
what
I'd
like.
So
I
that
that's,
the
only
recognition
I'd
like
to
give
is
all
I'll
move
to
accept
the
report
and
just
ask
that.
Did
staff
deliver
that
message
to
the
task
force
that
that
we
are
as
a
council
seeking
their
input
whatever
possible
prior
to
this
budget
cycle.
Thanks.
K
K
K
There
are
some
processes
moving
forward
and
I'm
just
looking
at
things
like
workforce
development,
digital
equity,
child
care,
food
and
necessity.
So,
on
some
of
these
issue
areas,
we
do
have
work
that
is
progressing,
and
so
my
question
is:
how
can
we
use
the
information
from
this
task
force
to
inform
the
work
that
we're
already
doing
so
that
we
don't
go
two
separate
tracks.
E
K
Thank
you,
and
and
as
we
build
out
sort
our
pipeline
right,
for
example,
I'll
just
use
child
care
as
an
example
and
there's
some
joint
work
being
done
from
the
city
and
the
county
on
child
care
and
and
and
there's
frankly,
capacity
issues
in
this
pipeline
and
even
with
universal
preschool.
Not
all
the
schools
have
the
physical
space
to
accommodate,
for
example,
all
the
children
and
so
at
a
joint
city
county
meeting.
There
was
discussion
around
looking
at
other
facilities
that
we
might
other
public
facilities
that
might
be
used
right.
K
So
I'm
just
bringing
that
up
as
an
example
as
that
work
progresses,
you
know
we
still
need
the
stakeholders
that
are
part
of
this
task
force
to
help
us
build
this
new
plane
right
as
it's
up
in
the
air,
and
that's
really
just
my
point
as
I
do
think.
We
have
a
lot
of
valuable
stakeholders
that
we
need
their
input
and
and
then
I
had
another
question
in
terms
of
the
stakeholders.
K
I
know
you
know
some
folks,
you
know
really
were
excited
about
arp
funding,
but
there's
also
private
funding
that
can
be
leveraged
on
actually
many
of
these
items.
There
are
foundations,
and,
and
in
the
case
of
small
business,
there
are
other
efforts.
There
are
federal
efforts
and
things
like
that
that
can
be
leveraged
for
this
work
is
identifying
funding,
non-city,
arp
funding
or
is
identifying
other
funding
sources.
Part
of
this
process.
E
Yes,
it
is
council
member
and
we're
really
fortunate,
because
we
do
have
some
task
force
members
who
are
part
of
organizations
that
have
already
connected
us
to
potential
funding
opportunities.
So
yes,
task
force
is
definitely
looking
at
that.
We
knew
coming
into
this
work
that
you
know,
because
of
limited
dollars
available
that
leveraging
existing
efforts
and
particularly
leveraging
the
philanthropic
community,
was
going
to
be
extremely
important.
K
Thank
you
for
that,
and
and
thank
you
for
all
the
amazing
work,
because
I
know
it's
sort
of
doing
everything
all
at
once
and
then
making
sure
that
we
are
all
rowing
in
the
same
direction.
So
thank
you
for
that
and
then
I
just
one
last
thing
is
on
council
member
perales
comments.
Perhaps
there
could
be
an
info
memo
or
something
like
that
that
could
be
generated
in
time
to
come
to
the
council
as
part
of
the
budget
process.
So
I
just
wrote
down
info
memo
on
my
notes
on
that.
K
F
K
J
Besides
the
doomsday
glacier,
which
is
melting,
the
doomsday
clock
says
we
have
100
seconds
left
before
apocalypse
and
they
were
looking
at
nuclear,
but
they
added
climate
crisis
into
it.
But
the
issue
really
is
is
that
we
have
no
time
that
was
you
know
there
is
no
time
that
we
have
left
and
how
are
we
going
to
make
the
changes
that
really
support
our
community
and
that's
where
we
need
to
build
resiliency
into
our
community
now,
starting
now
I
mean
the
talk.
The
clock
is
ticking.
J
The
science
has
already
told
us
that
we
have,
you
know
eight
years
left
to
get
to
zero
fossil
fuel
use.
That's.
That
is
our
goal.
That
is
what
we
need
to
be
doing,
and
that
is
all
about
really
creating
a
hyper
local
community,
because
what
it
looks
like
no,
no,
no
fossil
fuel
use
is
no
driving,
no
flying
and
no
movement
of
goods,
and
so
this
is
where
we
have
to
change
our
whole
system
to
become
very
hyper
local,
become
producers,
not
consumers.
J
I
All
right,
thank
you,
blair
beekman
here,
I'm
gonna
really
continue
to
be
working
on
how
the
consent
calendar
language
can
be
broadened
a
bit
to
include
how
the
public
can
ask
if
a
council
person
can
pull
an
item
a
consent
calendar
time.
I
think
you
got
part
of
a
new
idea
down.
I'm
tried
to
improve
my
my
writing
skills
and
then
thought
about
the
process
since
writing
to
you
last
week.
I
It
just
needs
a
bit
more
of
public
understanding
what
their
role
can
be
and
that
they
can
ask
you
guys
are
hiding
that
fact,
and
we
should
make
it
simple
and
open
good
luck,
how
we
can
work
on
this.
I
have
a
bunch
of
public
meeting
ideas.
I've
been
talking
about
for
a
year
now
that
I
hope
also
can
be
begin
to
be
addressed
at
this
time.
I
I
I
think
those
are
subjects
that
have
to
work
hand
in
hand
for
our
good,
sustainable
ideas
of
what
a
future
can
be
and
what
peace
can
be
and
what
the
ideas
of
the
open
democratic
practice
can
be.
You
can't
do
one
without
the
other.
I
don't
think-
and
I
know
you
guys
are
going
to
try
to,
but
you
know
those
open
public
policy
ideas
really
come
around
and
do
something
really
nice
for
yourselves
when
you
really
need
it.
So
please
be
cons
considering
how
these
policies
can
work
together.
I
It's
it's
nice
stuff
and
with
28
seconds.
You
know
that
also
includes
you
know
we're
doing
so
much
law
enforcement
things
at
this
time.
How
can
open
public
policies
and
accountability
help
with
those
law
enforcement
issues
that
you're
going
to
be
trying
to
tie
into
vision,
zero
ain't
going
to
get
confused
about
it's
our
good
practices
of
of
accountability?
I
C
Thank
you,
I'm
here
today
to
talk
to
you
about
the
fish
market
project
that
is
going
to
go
in
and
council
member
foley.
This
is
in
your
district
and
council
member
mayhem.
As
you
know,
it
borders
your
district
and
I
had
a
wonderful
meeting
with
leslie
wardino.
She
was
so
gracious
with
her
time
and
and
just
made
a
great
effort.
We
met
through
zoom
and
she
went
over
the
project
with
me.
I
told
her
how
I
really
love
this
area.
I
grew
up
here.
C
She
asked
her
developer
and
he
said
no
we're
going
to
go
ahead,
as
is
there's
no
incentive
that
would
entice
me
to
build
a
ground
floor
anything
so
I
can
appreciate
that,
but
I
would
like
it
if
we
could
just
use
this
moment
in
time
to
say:
okay
well,
what
that?
What
would
that
look
like
and
we've
offered
it
up?
We've
thought
about
it,
and
so
in
just
all
good
conscience.
I
really
want
to
push
it
and
say
at
what
point
can
we
talk
about
these
incentives,
so
community
spaces
can
be
built.
Thank
you.
B
Thank
you
jill
and
I've
been
actively
involved
in
the
fish
market,
as
you
know,
and
working
with
them,
and
of
course
you
also
know
because
I
know
you
live
nearby-
that
the
oakridge
mall
is
right
across
the
street,
so
there's
a
lot
of
activation,
but
it
is
important
that
we
activate
spaces
where
people
are
going
to
live.
But
so
thank
you
for
your
comments.
Paul
soto.
H
Yes,

If
you're
listening
check
your
inbox
and
your
linkedin
page,
I
happen
to
be
a
comie.
I
have
my
birth
records
and
my
birth.
My
my
bureau
of
indian
affairs
paperwork
that
I
am,
which
means
that
I,
that
my
people,
I'm
a
descendant
of
the
first
california
mission
in
califas
when
euniperocera
came
here
in
1769,
it
was
my
people
that
were
the
first
to
experience,
colonization,
and
that
is
why
the
border
is
there
because
they
locked
in
all
the
21.
H
H
Secondly,
is
that
mayhem
you
had
a
chance
dude.
You
had
a
chance
to
go
ahead
and
speak
up.
You
couldn't
even
lie
dude.
You
could
have
faked
it,
but
now
that
I
saw
you
were
completely
silent
when
it
came
to
my
people's
fighting
and
challenging.
You
saw
that
white
dude
man
he's
staying
he'd
lie.
That's
what
he
did.
He
came
in
here
and
he
thought
that
he
was
gonna
lie
to
a
bunch
of
mexicans.
It's
not
gonna
happen.
Oh
boy,
I
got
30
of
my
education
in
prison.
H
Garbage
cans
dude
because
I
didn't
have
nothing
to
reach
like
dug
in
the
garbage
cans.
You
should
be
surprised.
You
find
me
dante.
You
fighting,
really
you're
fighting
bulls
on
davinci
you're
fighting
for
galileo,
tesla
come
on
man.
You
don't
do
that
again!
Dude!
I'm
telling
you
this,
because
if
you
try
to
go
up
against
perales
in
a
debate,
he
will
have
you
dude
I've
been
around
this
dude.
When
he
has
debates,
you
don't
want
to
go
up
against
him.
Dude.
H
S
A
S
Economic
development
has
anybody
been.
Has
anybody
walked
around
downtown
lately
like
during
a
business
hours
they
this
city?
There
is
no
economic
activity
at
all.
It's
for
lease.
It's
for
sale,
there's
dried
splats
of
vomit
feces.
The
place
smells
like
urine.
I
mean
this
is
like
on
first
street,
where
there's
a
lot
of
nice
buildings,
but
you
know
there:
it's
all.
They
all
have
butcher
paper
in
the
windows
and
you
know
just
were
you
know,
foreclosed,
you
know
a
foreclosure
or
closed.
S
S
S
It's
really
really
sad
and
you
guys
should
be
ashamed
of
yourselves,
but
you're
going
to
build
a
new
village.
I
don't
think
so.
It's
not
going
to.
If
you
can't
work,
it's
a
wonderful
downtown.
If,
if
there
was
some
kind
of
economic
activity,
there
is
none.
Why?
Because
of
the
regulations,
the
rules,
the
taxes,
the
fees,
the
fines
you
got
to
have
a
booster
shot
to
go
through
to
any
city-owned
building.
You
guys
are
killing
yourself,
man
and
you
make
the
wrong
decisions
on
everything
and
you
want
to
build
villages.
You
guys
are
delusional.
