Public
speakers
will
not
engage
in
a

and
all

A

Thank
you
so
much
all
right,
so
we're
gliding
through
here
the
first
item
on
our
agenda
is
we
don't
have
anything
to
review
under
a
work
plan
or
consent
calendar,
so
we
will
begin
with
reports
to
the
committee
and
we
have
an
item
which
is
1cc
citywide
residential
anti-displacement
strategy,
quarterly
status
report.
So
we
will
probably
hear
from
our
housing
department
on
this.
Thank
you.

Hi
good
afternoon,
chair
reagan,
henninger
here
with
the
housing
department,
I'm
joined
by
my
colleagues,
kristen
clements,
emily
hislop
and
jyn
kim,
and
I
were
giving
our
quarterly
update
on
our
work
to
prevent
displacement,
and
I
think
I
am
turning
it
over
to
kristin.
Apologies.
Is
this
my
side
sure
either.
E
E
You
kristen
thank
you
and
good
afternoon,
chair
and
council
members
kristen
clements
with
the
housing
department.
As
a
reminder,
the
city
council
approved
our
city-wide
residential
anti-displacement
strategy.
Last
september
feels
like
a
long
time
ago,
and
we
got
direction
from
you
to
work
on
our
top
four
priorities
that
are
listed
here:
equitable
covid
response
and
recovery,
tenant
preferences,
a
community
opportunity
to
purchase
program,
and
then
our
commission
composition
and
today,
we'll
give
you
an
update
on
all
four
next
slide.
Please
and
we'll
start
today
with
our
commissions,
update
and
I'll
turn
it
to
jyn
kim.
F
Thank
you
and
good
afternoon
intern
council
members.
My
name
is,
with
the
housing
department
I'll
be
sharing
recommendations
for
increasing
equitable
representation
on
the
housing
and
community
development
commission
with
you
today.
So
this
is
recommendation
number
four.
As
christian
just
mentioned,
of
the
anti-displacement
strategy,
it
is
scheduled
to
go
before
the
full
council
in
march,
and
so
it's
the
first
item
that
we're
bringing
on
on
the
presentation.
F
So
this
work
is
really
focused
on
adding
a
new
lived
experience
with
homelessness
designated
seat
on
httc
and
as
well
as
providing
a
stipend
for
all
httc
commissioners,
as
directed
by
the
city
council
in
2021
and
during
the
past
quarter.
Staffers
continue
to
engage
a
number
of
different
community
stakeholders
and
then
more
more
recently,
most
recently
presented
the
recommendations
to
httc
in
february,
and
so
the
slide
shows
two
motions
that
were
passed.
F
So
diving
into
a
bit
more
detail,
first
recruitment
and
appointment.
So
should
the
new
lived
experience
seat
be
approved
by
city
council
staff
will
be
conducting
significant
outreach
to
our
partners,
including
lived
experience,
advisory
boards,
homeless,
service
providers
and
residents
of
permanent
supportive
housing,
as
well
as
really
using
kind
of
a
wide
variety
of
outreach
methods,
so
that
we
can
obtain
a
diverse
pool
of
applicants.
F
We
will
be
modifying
these
commission
application
to
include
questions
about
the
applicant's
general
experience
with
homelessness
and
accessing
homeless
and
housing
services,
then
from
there.
So
the
selection
would
be
based
on
the
overall
application,
just
as
we
do
when
selecting
hc
commissioner
and
then,
as
noted
in
the
previous
slide,
so
we
did
receive
feedback
about
limiting
the
criteria
to
those
who've
experienced
homelessness
within
the
last
three
years.
F
However,
when
we
spoke
with
with
many
stakeholders,
including
those
lived
experienced
as
well
as
homeless
advocates,
the
overwhelming
majority
were
opposed
to
kind
of
having
a
very
strict
time
frame
as
a
criteria
as
it
could
be
counterproductive.
The
city
should
not
necessarily
be
creating
additional
barriers
to
participation
and
really
each
person
could
bring
their
own
unique
experience
to
the
table
and
we
didn't
want
to
reset
such
a
very
strict
limit
and
then,
regarding
the
second
version.
F
We
also
do
not
recommend
limiting
the
commission
seat
in
any
way
based
on
sex,
gender
or
gender
identity,
as
there
are
concerns
that
this
may
be
legally
problematic,
and
we
have
discussed
with
the
city,
attorney's
office
and
last
point
on
this
slide.
So
the
staff
recommends
that
the
lived
experience
seat
commissioner
be
nominated
by
the
mayor
at
this
time.
F
As
the
mayor
courtney,
nominates,
city-wide,
commissioner
seats,
so
we
had
initially
considered
the
council
appointment
advisory
commission
as
a
potential
nominating
body.
However,
they've
been
unable
to
meet
due
to
lack
of
quorum,
so
that
was
was
not
feasible
and,
however,
the
department
is
reviewing
a
really
broader
recommendations,
around
equity
for
the
commission.
So
looking
at
the
designated
seat,
competition
nomination
process-
and
we
plan
to
return
to
city
council
with
broader
recommendations
on
equitable
representation
at
a
later
date,
first
focusing
on
the
sections,
so
resources
and
stipends.
F
So,
in
order
to
ensure
that
there's
no
barriers
or
reduced
barriers
to
participation,
we've
been
reviewing
a
number
of
different
resources.
So
technology
supports
was
one
of
the
areas
where
we
heard
feedback
about
team
eats
so
a
tablet
providing
a
wi-fi
hotspot
if
needed,
as
well
as
other
tech
support.
F
We
also
plan
to
provide
comprehensive
training
and
resources
to
to
all
new
commissioners,
as
well
as
implement
a
new
body
system
for
new
commissioners
as
well,
and
then
last
of
all,
as
also
directed
by
city
council
in
2021.
We
are
recommending
a
nominal
stipend
for
httc
commissioners
to
help
reduce
financial
barriers
to
participation
so
recommending
a
stipend
of
200
a
month
dependent
on
meeting
attendance,
and
this
stipend
would
be
intended
to
kind
of
cover,
travel
or
the
miscellaneous
costs
as
needed
as
well
and
last
point
so
from
feedback
from
current
commissioners.
G
Thank
you,
jim
good
afternoon,
chair
and
committee
members,
I'm
emily
hislop
with
the
housing
department,
I'm
going
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
the
state
of
the
state
rental
emergency
assistance
program
for
covin
19.
through
the
state
program.
As
of
february
23rd,
there
are
currently
about
15
138,
completed,
rent
relief
applications.
G
G
And
so
some
important
things
happening,
the
limited
protections
that
are
in
place
remaining
from
ab-832
are
going
to
end
at
the
end
of
march.
However,
the
protections
that
were
established
for
the
time
period
of
march
2020
through
september
30th
2021
for
impacted
tenants
remain
in
place.
That
means
that
people
who
have
unpaid
rent
during
that
period
of
time
before
september,
30th
2021,
even
if
they
don't
get
rent
relief
or
anything,
they
can
never
be
evicted
based
on
that
unpaid
rent.
G
So
if
the
rent
application
is
not
processed
or
if
they
didn't
complete
it,
if
they're
denied
they're
protected
from
eviction,
however,
for
rent
relief
applicants
that
applied
after
october
one
what
the
protections
they
have
are
really
procedural
and
just
have
to
do
with
how
a
landlord
can
file
an
unlawful
detainer
at
court,
they
have
to
first
seek
out
rent
relief.
Those
protections
are
going
to
end
at
the
end
of
this
month.
G
Unfortunately,
what
that
means
is
that
people
with
tenants
with
pending
rent
applications
that
include
rent
after
october
2021
if
their
applications
are
not
approved
by
april
1
they're
at
risk
of
having
an
unlawful
detainer
lawsuit
filed
against
them.
They
were
working
on
some
programs
to
address
this
and,
after
I
finish
this
slide
I'll,
give
a
quick
update.
So
key
thing
right
now:
tenants
must
pay
their
april
rent.
G
G
So
part
of
what
we're
going
to
report
to
council
in
a
couple
weeks
is
that
there
are
some
remaining
era:
1
funds
and
we're
working
with
the
county,
to
implement
a
program
to
use
those
funds
to
cover
those
tenants
who
have
unlawful
detainers
filed
against
them.
On
april
1st,
who
have
pending
relief
applications
that
will
step
in
and
be
able
to
use
those
era,
one
funds
to
fund
the
full
amount
that
they've
applied
for
and
the
landlord
will
agree
to
dismiss
the
action.
G
G
As
I
said
with
this,
the
court,
the
court
has
applied
for
a
national
grant
to
implement
an
eviction
diversion
program,
and
that
would
put
somebody
in
court
to
manage
this
program
and
we
are
an
active
partner,
along
with
the
county
and
sacred
heart
and
other
destination
home
and
other
partners,
and
we're
second
meeting
of
this
grant.
The
second
stage
the
court
has
gotten
to
will
be
participating
in
sort
of
an
on-site
interview
on
along
with
the
partners
on
monday.
So
we're
very
hopeful
about
that
program
as
well.
E
Thank
you,
so
a
quick
update
on
our
work
on
tenant
preferences
that
would
help
mitigate
displacement
in
our
city.
As
a
reminder,
a
tenant
preference
allows
managers
of
affordable
housing
units
to
be
able
to
prioritize
certain
kinds
of
applicants
for
a
percentage
of
apartments
that
otherwise
would
have
to
be
available
to
the
general
public.
E
So
our
work
in
this
area
runs
on
several
tracks.
The
first
one
that
we've
made
sure
to
keep
on
track
together
with
our
office
of
intergovernmental
relations
is
the
bill
that
we've
co-sponsored
together
with
the
author
senator
cortesey
sb649
last
year,
it
became
a
two-year
bill,
and
this
year
senator
cortesey
is
still
supporting
the
bill
and
interested
in
moving
it
forward.
It
is
scheduled
to
be
heard
in
the
assembly
in
june
in
the
policy
committees
and
actually
yesterday,
the
senator's
office
and
the
city
and
the
other
co-sponsors
of
the
bill.
E
E
Yesterday,
they
are
able
to
clarify
something,
that's
important,
which
is
just
that
their
review
of
tenant
preferences
is
going
to
be
grounded
in
the
idea
that
they'll
be
reviewing
the
legality
of
preferences
really
as
a
lender
first,
and
I
think
that
means
their
purview
will
be
limited
beyond
their
role
as
a
lender.
So
that
was
an
interesting
finding
from
yesterday's
meeting
and
very
helpful.
E
They
again
sent
over
their
draft
criteria
on
how
jurisdiction
should
evaluate
tenant
preferences
as
the
precursor
to
their
memo,
but
it
does
sound
like
they're,
getting
more
refined
on
their
approach
to
what
they
would
be
looking
for
and
again,
we
reiterated
our
desire
that
they
finished
their
work
and
so
did
our
partner
stemus
mayfair
because
of
the
dire
situation
for
many
residents
in
our
city
being
displaced
every
day.
So
that
was
good
that
they
heard
directly
from
the
people
most
affected.
E
Third,
we
are
as
we
go
trying
to
well.
We
are
successful
in
doing
some
implementation
planning
working
with
our
asset
management
team
for
our
housing
portfolio
and
we
they
successfully
collected
thousands
of
records
of
demographic
information
of
our
residents
in
our
affordable
housing
units,
and
so
that
is
really
important
for
us
to
be
able
to
do
our
analysis
appropriately
for
the
state.
So
that
was
great
work
by
our
asset
management
team.
E
And
finally,
we
are
applying
for
a
fuse
fellow
to
augment
our
staff
capacity
to
to
advance
this
work
and
to
do
the
state's
analysis
as
soon
as
they
issue
their
guidance
so
that
we
again
use
the
freshest
data
possible
and
we
do
it
timely.
While
we
are
also
working
on
stakeholder
meetings
for
the
bill,
so
these
things
are
all
going
in
parallel
tracks
and
I'm
glad
to
hear
that
there's
a
little
bit
of
progress
being
made
because
we
know
this
is
urgent
for
many
people
in
our
community
next
slide.
E
E
We
wrapped
up
a
seven
month
process
with
two
different
tiers
in
a
working
group
to
a
smaller
technical
advisory
group
and
a
broader
stakeholder
advisory
committee
to
help
advise
the
program,
a
draft
program
design
and
by
the
way,
our
the
funder
of
our
two-year
partnership
for
the
base
future
fellow
actually
they're
really
interested
in
this
design
process.
They
highlighted
it
in
their
communications
about
our
work
and
they
thought
it
was
very
innovative
and
that
other
people
maybe
should
think
about
the
way
we've
been
doing
the
work
as
best
practice.
E
So
they
we
wrapped
up
that
work,
which
was
very
intensive.
16
meetings
over
zoom
over
500
community
members
invited
over
50
organizations
participating
167,
different
people
participating
our
consultants,
baron
and
driscoll,
who
we
use
to
facilitate
the
process,
did
create
a
wrap-up
report
and
summary
report
of
everything
that
we
did.
So
we
are
finalizing
that
now
and
that
will
get
posted
on
our
website.
E
Then,
with
that
information
we
refined
our
draft
program
proposal
and
then
entered
our
phase
two
work
of
our
broad
outreach.
We
held
a
more
than
two
month
long
public
comment
period
from
the
end
of
november.
Through
the
beginning
of
february,
and
then
and
conducted
broad
community
meetings
on
that
draft
program
proposal,
we
held
seven
broad
public
meetings
on
zoom
and
we
had
over
300
attendees,
almost
200
of
whom
were
different
folks.
E
So,
in
addition
to
this
broad
community
outreach,
we
held
three
meetings
on
what
financing
products
would
be
needed
to
support
the
preservation
work
for
quick
acquisitions
and
what
the
city
would
need
to
provide
together
with
the
housing
trust
of
silicon
valley
and
then
with
great
difficulty.
After
all
of
this
super
intensive
work
and
comment
letters
received
and
over
200
questions
and
comments
going
back
and
forth
with
all
these
meetings,
like
a
lot
of
interest
in
intense,
you
know,
inquiry
on
the
program.
E
So
so
the
next
few
months,
super
intensive
work
on
creating
this
probably
900
page
document
for
the
state
to
review
for
the
housing
element.
So
so
that
was
a
difficult
decision.
We've
been
coping
with,
so
to
speak
copa.
But
after
that
time
we
plan
to
return
to
copa
program.
Design
next
slide
so
over
the
next
three
months,
just
to
wrap
up
what
everyone
was
talking
about
for
kovid.
Obviously,
we'll
still
be
trying
to
connect
both
residents
and
owners
to
the
emergency
rental
assistance
that
is
available.
E
We
are
absolutely
moving
sp
649
forward
and
we
are
in
the
middle
of
applying
for
a
fuse
fellow
to
augment
our
staff
capacity
and
whenever
hed
does
issue
their
guidance,
we
will
be
starting
that
tenant
preference
analysis
that
they
require
for
coppa
again
we're
deferring
final
program,
recommendations
and
further
outreach
until
after
the
first
draft
of
the
housing
element
is
submitted.
So
we
expect
that
late
summer,
early
fall
and
then
with
a
lived
experience.
E
E
H
B
So
let
me
just
announce
the
name
and
the
numbers
just
just
to
get
people
going
for
each
of
the
I
mean
for
the
just
the
name
for
those
folks
who
are
watching
on
youtube
or
cable
tv.
If
you
want,
if
you
want
to
comment
on
this,
you
can
go
over
to
the
meeting
on
zoom
for
public
comment
or
call
408,
6380
968
to
speak
by
phone,
and
so
when
our
city
clerk,
I
think
it
gina.
When
she
calls
your
name,
you
can
go
ahead,
unmute
and
begin.

The
funding
that
we're
receiving
from
the
state
and
federal
level
is
pretty
amazing
and
impressive,
and
I
really
hope
that
you
know
we
can
really
learn
how
to
use
that
money.
Well,
for
you
know,
for
our
unhealth
programs,
like
I've
always
been
saying,
be
wary
that
you
know
this
good
subsidy
money.
I
don't
want
it
to
be
taken
over
by
high
developers
and
you
know,
and
and
with
the
urban
village
housing.
J
You
know
if
you,
if
you're
going
to
use
that
money
for
those
purposes
really
be
considering
eoi
and
vli,
and
mixed
income
with
the
future
of
urban
housing
development
use
subsidy
money.
What
it's
intended
for
are
unhoused,
that's
my
feeling.
Thank
you.
I
also
to
offer
a
few
other
items.
There
were
many
items
at
city
council
yesterday
or
tuesday
that
they
were
really
nice
that
spoke
about.
You
know
homeless
issues.
We
can
work
on.
Good
luck!
J
How
we
can
do
those
things
and
what
can
be
accomplished
with
the
toe
issues.
There
was
interesting
item
about
toe
issues
you
have
a
new
towing
contract
can
can
can
that
be
used
as
sponsorship
to
help
tow
help.
The
people
of
columbus
park
help
tow
their
cars
for
as
a
free
service
as
a
helpful
service,
not
as
punitive.
K
Of
all
hello,
can
you
hear
me?
Okay,
we
can
hear
you
brian
all
right.
Thank
you,
man.
I
want
to
you
know
with
all
this
covert
stuff
and
everything
the
fact
of
how
much
effort
the
housing
department
has
put
in.
Maybe
it's
not
perfect
or
worse.
None
of
us
are
not
me
and
the
first
forgiveness,
it's
really
very
touching
and
I've.
You
know
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you
all.
It
hasn't
been
easy.
K
K
K
You
know
five
six
thousand
dollars
fully
fitted
out
they're
about
25
000,
a
piece
entire
neighborhoods
are
being
built
in
texas
and
in
arizona,
and
I
believe
in
mexico,
plus
a
bunch
of
places
in
europe.
I
would
really
encourage
you
to
refer
to
the
I
sent
in
a
couple
of
emails
with
links,
treat
it
like
an
emergency
and
just
build
the
heck
out
of
places
that
you
can.
L
Oh
good
good,
I
want
to
make
sure
I
was
on
the
public
comment.
Yeah
hey!
I
want
to
thank
everybody
down
there
for
lighting
up
st
patrick's
day
at
city
hall
down
there.
They
refuse
to
do
it
for
christmas,
even
though
you
people
are
paid
for
it
refuse
to
do
it
for
easter.
I
know
you're
not
paid
for
it,
but
be
nice
to
see
and
mention
those
holidays.
Pam
foley,
my
city
council,
now
person
she
that
she
refuses
to
recognize
those
holidays.
L
You
also
need
to
recognize
saint
joseph
hall,
the
patron
saint
of
our
city.
You
slide
it
up
in
red,
it's
the
official
color
of
saint
joseph's
day
also
father's
day
in
many
many
countries,
including
mexico.
I
believe,
but
you
guys
refused,
because
you
hate
roman
catholics
down
there.
It
all
started
with.
L
Ukrainian
people
live
here
and
they're
gonna
need
they're,
they're
gonna
be
with
their
families,
but
they're
gonna
need
housing
and
jobs
and
everything
else,
and
if
we
can
get
together
with
tech,
companies
and
city
hall,
help
out
the
ukrainian
people,
who
are
gonna
end
up
here,
as
many
will
they're
a
lot
of
high-tech
people
are
from
the
ukraine,
they're
high-tech
capital
of
that
era
or
region
of
europe.
So
instead
of
flags
and
candlelight.
C
C
E
Council
member,
yes,
actually
they
were
pretty
much
our
first
stop
in
our
program
design.
So
on
our
technical
advisory
committee
jen,
I
don't
know
if
we've
got
the
slides
up
that
additional
slide.
We,
the
realtors,
were
on
the
attack.
The
the
cia
was
on
the
tack.
We
had
lenders
and
developers,
market
rate
developers
on
the
tac.
E
There
were
definitely
a
lot
of
real
estate
interests
and
we
tried
to
make
that
group
balanced.
It
was
invite
only
so
that
it
was.
You
know,
a
balanced
product,
design
conversation
between
people
representing
users,
people
who
understood
the
real
estate
industry,
the
lending
industry,
the
policy
industry.
You.
C
I
guess
the
only
thing
I
would
ask
just
to
further
clarify
is
when
you
said
that
the
real
estate
industry
was
included.
I
mean
I,
I
think
it's
good
to
include
brokers
or
agents,
but
I'm
hoping
in
in
the
case
that
we
haven't
already
done
this.
But
you
know
the
primary
sort
of
organization
in
the
area
is
the
santa
clara
county
association
of
realtors,
and
so
I
see
it
there.
Okay,
cool
and.
C
Yeah
the
the
reason
I
mentioned,
that
kristen
is
because
I
had
a
meeting
with
their
ceo
or
director
and
then
one
of
their
new
folks
that
just
came
on
a
few
months
back,
but
she
wasn't
too
familiar
with
coppa
or
you
know
why
the
structure
was
taking
shape,
the
way
it
was,
and
so
anyway.
So
I
just
didn't
know-
and
I
apologize
that
I
missed
this
on
on
the
slide.
Oh.
A
C
Okay,
cool
and
so,
and
so,
okay,
all
right
cool.
So
that
was
the
only
question
I
had
obviously
important
work.
Thank
you
for
everything
you
all
doing.
I'm
not
sure
how
you
put
out
all
this
work
consistently,
given
the
challenges
we
have
around
the
city
and
the
need,
as
it
relates
to
housing
at
every
level.
So
thank
you.
B
B
It
also
is
for
those
who
have
those
non-traditional
situations
like
a
room
in
the
house
that
sort
of
situation,
and
so
we
want
to
make
sure
that
folks
take
advantage
and
don't
believe
like
well,
it's
too
late.
For
me,
the
the
the
protection
is
ending
in
april.
I
haven't
really
done
much.
You
can
still
hop
on
board
here
and
and
have
us
help.
You
help
us
get
you
into
the
queue
for
some
assistance,
and
so
I
really
appreciate
all
the
work
that
you're
doing.
B
N
A
J
O
We
also
have
representatives
from
catholic
charities
who
have
joined
us
in
the
audience.
We
have
aristeli
gonzalez
the
interim
division
director
of
the
emergency
programs
and
housing
services,
and
we
also
have
jaime
and
gulu
the
founding
director
of
the
formal
responsible,
landlord
engagement
initiative
program
and
they
will
be
available
for
questions
about
rlei
and
any
other
questions
about
the
that
program
after
our
presentation.
O
Our
program
activities
are
guided
by
three
main
objectives:
to
engage
stakeholders,
collaborate
and
strategize
for
solutions.
We
focus
on
proactive
communication
with
stakeholders
to
identify
and
prioritize
resolutions
that
improve
property
management
practices
and
the
quality
of
service
delivered
at
our
target
properties.
O
H
Wonderful,
thank
you
rachel
good
afternoon
committee
members,
I'm
bianca,
I'm
the
community
program
administrator
for
the
better
housing
initiative,
I'll
be
speaking
about
our
program's
focus
and
providing
context
about
our
selected
target
properties.
So
the
better
housing
initiative
provides
a
unique
and
focused
opportunity
to
assess
the
needs
at
our
target
properties,
valley,
palms
and
foxdale
village
apartments.
H
Pre-Existing
factors
have
created
additional
barriers
to
community
engagement
at
our
target
properties,
including
a
history
of
poor
or
inconsistent
communication
with
property
ownership
and
management,
and
concerns
regarding
the
quality
of
on-site
resident
services.
Residents
of
the
target
properties
have
also
expressed
challenges
in
advocating
for
recurring
maintenance
issues
requiring
improvements
and
repairs
in
their
units.
H
H
H
We
have
learned
that
the
most
effective
way
to
do
this
work
is
through
cross-functional
and
multi-disciplinary
collaboration
with
key
partners
through
strengthened
partnership.
The
better
housing
initiative
provides
a
unique
and
focused
opportunity
to
assess
the
needs
at
target
sites
through
an
affordable
housing
perspective.
H
We
need
to
create
a
functioning
ecosystem
with
interdepartmental
coordination,
to
strategically
approach
the
complexity
and
magnitude
of
challenges
at
the
target
properties.
We
have
identified
the
importance
of
cross-functional
collaboration
with
code
enforcement
project
hope
and
the
police
department,
and
such
collaboration
requires
dedicated
and
consistent
interaction
to
ensure
partner
engagement,
identify
overlapping
priorities
and
unify
in
mutual
efforts.
P
Awesome,
thank
you
bianca
and
hello.
Everyone,
council
members.
Thanks
for
having
me,
I
am
todd
trayer.
If
I
haven't
met
you,
I
am
the
san
jose
police
department's
foothill
division
captain,
and
that
includes
both
valley
palms
apartments,
as
well
as
foxdale
village
apartments
they're
within
my
division.
So
they
mean
a
lot
to
me.
P
I've
been
your
captain
in
foothill
division
for
a
year
and
a
few
months
a
year
and
four
months,
and
I
do
support
the
efforts
and
really
the
the
ability
to
incorporate
the
police
department
into
all
these
different
entities:
code,
enforcement,
housing
and
there's
ways.
We
do
that
to
help
build
trust
with
the
community
which
includes
using
like
our
crime
prevention
resources,
my
crime
prevention
team,
the
two
sandras,
if
you
know
them
sandra
avila
and
sandra
garcia,
they
are
second
to
none.
P
They
they
go
up
to
both
locations
and
provide
not
just
the
how
to
how
to
stay
safe
presentations,
but
really
cater
to
issues
that
the
community
brings
up
or
things
that
I
see
when
I'm
driving
through
the
complexes
or
or
reports
that
I'm
seeing.
That
would
just
make
life
better
to
have
a
different
set
of
resources,
so
it's
great
to
have
them,
and
now
they
fall
under
captain
randy
schrieffer,
who
is
amazing
and
he's
going
to
even
take
crime
prevention
to
the
next
level.
P
P
There
is
a
new
and
expanded
partnership
between
the
police
department
and
security.
There
was
always
a
partnership
with
them,
but
I
was
able
to
meet
with
them
and
then
just
really
create
an
accountability
with
them
to
help
me
co-police
with
what
the
community
needs.
I
didn't
know,
I
didn't
know
everything
they
were
doing
right
and
that
is
that
is
not
okay.
That
doesn't
work
for
me
and
help
me
provide
different
resources
and
now
that
we're
working
together,
I
can
get
video.
P
P
I
guess
that
combined
with
our
work
with
project
hope
has
just
been
successful
already
at
valley
palms,
and
I
just
see
it
emerging
growing,
even
more
so
at
foxdale.
So
thank
you
to
my
partners,
who
are
all
here.
I
do
want
to
say
hey
that
I
have
direct
contact
with
security
management
with
housing
code
enforcement
when
we
see
things
even
if
it's
not
a
police
problem,
we
report
it
and
that
I
never
have
seen
that
before.
P
L
All
right,
thank
you.
Captain
trayer

afternoon.

is
good

Q
Thank
you
roger
good
afternoon,
community
members,
my
name
is
hilde
morales.
I'm
the
community
services
supervisor
for
project
tope
project
tope
is
a
unique
and
innovative
resident
engagement
and
empowerment
program
that
aims
to
improve
the
quality
of
life
of
residents.
This
program
is
currently
active
in
nine
sites
within
the
city
and
launch
its
efforts
in
the
foxtail
valley
apartments
june
of
2021.
Q
Our
program
has
four
goals:
the
first
being
to
create
a
sustainable
and
organized
group
of
community
leaders
to
support
safer
and
cleaner
communities
to
educate
residents
on
how
to
access
city
services
and
to
provide
support
to
the
neighborhood
associations
in
fostering
relationships
that
will
assist
in
sustaining
their
efforts
project
utilizes,
a
five-phase
community
engagement
approach,
along
with
the
core
values
of
equity,
trust,
dignity
and
respect
with
that
goal
of
building
relationship
with
residents
and
empowering
them
to
unite
and
move
towards
self-advocacy
through
the
we
do.
We
show
and
we
continue
to
support
model.
Q
Foxdale
residents
successfully
established
their
building
a
better
future
foxdale
neighborhood
association
in
november
of
2021,
while
project
hope
and
the
better
housing
initiative
have
been
at
the
foxdale
property
roughly
around
the
same
time.
I
do
want
to
highlight
that
there
is
a
distinction
between
our
programs.
Q
Project
hope
is
a
resident
engagement
program
that
is
focused
on
on
the
residents
and
does
not
take
on
the
development
of
the
owners
or
the
property
management
companies
directly.
Instead,
we
teach
the
residents
how
to
organize
their
communities
and
communicate
their
needs
to
other
city
departments.
Q
Other
government
agencies
and
just
other
entities
in
general
by
having
the
better
housing
initiative
focused
on
providing
the
pathway
to
facilitate
communication
with
property
owners
and
administrators
project
hope,
provides
direct
support
to
the
resident
voice
through
this
model.
I
am
happy
to
share
that.
The
foxtail
board
has
established
monthly,
recurring
recurring
meetings
with
the
management
company
to
discuss,
resident
concerns
and
maintain
open
communication.
Q
Q
H
Thank
you
so
much.
Thank
you
to
our
great
partners
from
project
hope
and
code
enforcement
and
sjpd
for
joining
our
panel.
Today.
We
really
appreciate
it
and
we
appreciate
you
sharing
your
contribution
and
for
your
continuous
collaboration
out
in
the
community.
We
truly
do
work
better
together
and
the
need
to
work
in
tandem
is
evident.
We
appreciate
the
time
that
we
have
already
invested
in
strengthening
our
partnerships,
and
while
there
are
many
other
partners,
we
can
engage
and
collaborate
with.
H
We
have
found
that
those
on
today's
panel
are
the
key
stakeholders
or,
as
I
like,
to
call
it
the
dream
team
that
we
need
to
stay
linked
in
with,
for
this
work
to
be
effective
and,
most
importantly,
the
community
is
hearing
the
same
message
from
the
city.
We
are
a
team
and
we
are
connected
and
collaborating
to
provide
the
services
that
they
need
together.
H
So
moving
on
to
more
specific,
better
housing
initiative
updates
on
this
slide,
we'll
be
sharing
about
our
program,
development
and
recent
activities.
So,
at
the
launch
of
our
program,
our
focus
was
centered
around
monitoring.
The
implementation
of
the
city's
specifically
negotiated
provisions
in
the
valley
palms
bond
regulatory
agreement.
H
While
we
have
continued
to
monitor
the
agreement,
we
have
also
worked
to
build
relationships
with
community
partners
to
strengthen
efforts
to
reach
the
large
tenant
community,
consisting
of
approximately
fifteen
hundred
residents
at
each
target
property,
to
identify
top
issues
and
concerns
and
to
prioritize
our
engagement
strategies
with
the
property
administrators,
because
these
properties
each
have
unique
challenges
both
existing
and
emerging.
They
require
individualized
approaches.
H
Since
the
fall,
we
have
provided
targeted
outreach
in
collaboration
with
our
eviction.
Prevention,
help
center
staff,
our
interdepartmental
partners
from
with
project
hope
and
property
management
personnel
to
proactively
identify
and
engage
tenants
with
rental
assistance
resources
and
support.
We've
also
provided
one-on-one
assistance
in
person
and
by
phone
with
tenants
at
foxtel,
village
and
valley,
plum
departments.
H
We've
also
provided
on-site,
pop-up
application
clinics
and
support
to
manage
communication
with
tenants
and
property
management
regarding
continued
emergency
rental
assistance
inquiries
to
help
avoid
pandemic
related
evictions.
To
date,
there
have
been
zero
evictions
due
to
pandemic
related
financial
hardship
at
both
valley,
palms
and
foxtail
village
apartments.
We
plan
to
continue
targeted
outreach
through
our
collaboration
with
the
property
owners
and
management
firms
for
any
ongoing
needs.
H
O
So
in
december
the
department
submitted
an
earmark
grant
proposal
to
our
intergovernmental
relations
team
to
fund
to
request
funding
for
rei
for
two
years.
Our
application
is
currently
being
considered
for
sponsorship
by
state
assembly
member
by
one
of
our
state
assembly
members
office
on
a
parallel
track.
O
O
As
with
the
typical
budget
process,
this
pr,
this
proposal
is
being
discussed
with
the
city
manager's
office,
and,
if
it
will,
it
will
be
included
in
the
proposed
budget
in
may.
If
the
city
manager's
office
supports
moving
forward
with
that
proposal
next
slide,
please
now
I'd
like
to
take
a
moment
to
describe
what
it
would
look
like
if
both
programs
operated
at
the
same
time
and
how
our
service
models
would
differ,
so
the
city
would
focus
on
non-city-funded,
affordable
housing,
multi-multi-family
developments.
O
We
see
a
great
opportunity
for
the
collaboration
between
both
programs
and
we
hope
to
work
together
in
the
future.
Next
slide,
please
so
this
concludes
our
presentation
and
will
be
available
for
any
questions
that
you
may
have,
and
we
just
really
thank
you
for
your
time.
In
listening
to
our
presentation
today,.
J
J
It
seems
appropriate
to
mention
that
the
good
ideas
of
two
one
one
and
three
one
one
can
be
of
help
with
the
fox
worthy
area.
This
apartment,
complex
and
issues
that
you're
trying
to
gather
a
community
feeling,
for
I
don't
know
if
it's
related
to
the
issues
about
the
deaths
highway,
deaths
that
were
happening.
If
it
is
good
luck
in
in
in
steps
to
take
to
do
that-
and
it
is,
it
does
take
a
whole
community
effort,
and
so
good
luck
with
that
yeah,
I
think
jill
borders
mentioned.
J
You
know
how.
How
can
we
talk
about
what?
What
is
it?
Is
it
unhoused
around
the
area?
Is
it?
Is
it
a
drug
issue?
That's
around
the
area,
just
to
mention
those
words
just
for
openness
and
to
finally
conclude
good
luck,
how
we
talk
about
that
to
conclude,
if
it
can
be
of
help,
you
know
the
openness
and
accountability
ideas
with
technology.
J
Hopefully,
for
all
sides
can
be
of
interest
for
these
sort
of
community
all
purpose
community
projects-
I
don't
know
where
and
how,
but
I
think
by
mentioning
it,
it
can
be
of
help
in
in
in
different
ways
so
yeah.
So
you
know
with
technology
and
data
collection,
the
openness
and
accountability
practices,
I
hope
can
be
of
help
in
in
in
this
entire
project.
Thanks
a
lot.
A
I
wanted
to
voice
my
support
for
rlei.
I
I
know
that
I'm
I'm
the
president
of
the
abrams
edgy
neighborhood
association.
I
just
wanted
to
mention
that
our
lei
has
really
changed
our
neighborhood
for
the
better
they've
really
helped
us
several
years
ago.
So
I'm
glad
to
see
that
our
rlei
could
be
funded.
N
Here-
and
I
I
don't
know
where
to
start,
there's
there's
so
much
to
unpack
here,
and
I
just
want
to
thank
staff
for
all
of
the
great
work
that
you're
doing.
I
wish
council
member
esparza
were
here,
because
I
know
that
there's
been
so
much
work,
that's
been
done
also
at
valley,
palms
and
and
both
at
valley
palms
and
at
foxdale.
N
We
we've,
you
know
both
her
her
team
and
my
team,
as
well
as
the
city,
have
worked
over
the
course
of
many
years
to
resolve
a
lot
of
the
different
issues
that
have
been
taking
place
at
both
sites,
and
I
could
I
could
list
them
off.
I'm
not
going
to
do
that
right
now.
I
guess
I
just
have
a
couple
of
questions,
one
that
concerns
me
as
we're.
N
If
you
could
just
give
me
a
a
feel
for
that,
I'd
like
to
know
what
we
can
do
to
continue
supporting
our
residents
there,
given
the
the
demographics
and
the
the
nature
of
of
what
I
know
have
been
some
of
the
needs
there.
So
if
you
could
just
give
me
an
idea
of
what
we
could
be
expecting
over
the
next
30
days
or
less
than
30
days,
actually.
H
Certainly
councilmember,
thank
you
for
the
question.
This
is
bianca
from
the
better
housing
initiative.
So,
regarding
the
outreach
I
can
share
and
I'm
not
involved
in
the
processing
of
the
application.
But
what
we've
been
able
to
leverage
is
the
partnership
with
ownership
and
management
to
quickly
identify
the
tenants
that
are
in
need
of
these
services
and
get
direct
referrals
from
the
the
property
management
firm,
and
so
we've
engaged
those
tenants.
H
I
would
like
to
share
that
out:
valley
palms,
all
tenants
that
were
referred
to
us
and
in
partnership
with
property
management
working
in
parallel.
All
tenants
have
applied
for
rental
assistance,
so,
although
maybe
their
applications
have
not
been
processed
they're
all
covered
under
having
a
submitted
application.
H
H
N
They're
going
to
be
needing
help,
and
I
think
that
that
gives
us
an
idea
not
just
of
of
of
the
folks
in
these
complexes,
but
I
think
I
think
these
complexes
are
probably
a
good
barometer
for
what
might
be
happening
citywide.
That's
just
my
my
feel
for
things.
Thank
you
for
that.
I
also
wanted
to
thank
folks
from
our
project
hope
and
captain
treyer,
who
have
been
really
great
in
in
terms
of
being
there
and
having
a
presence
and
engaging
with
our
families,
especially
our
kiddos.
N
B
B
This
is
something
that
we
all
know
how
important
it
is
andres
for
my
district
called
in,
and
we
we
need
somebody
like
jaime
to
come
in
and
to
help
out
and
to
mediate
some
of
these
issues
that
become
real
problems
in
our
neighborhoods,
and
so
thank
you
for
all
the
really
great
work
that
you're
doing
the
the
only
question
I
really
have
is
about
sustainability,
because
this
is
a
lot
of
cross-agency
work.
That
you're
doing,
which
I
think
is,
is
wonderful
angel.
How?
B
K
K
I
B
I
know
we're
going
to
lose
quorum
at
3
45
and
I
want
to
make
sure
that
we
all
we
hear
all
of
these
reports,
and
so
I'm
going
to
cut
public
comment
to
one
minute
I
apologize,
but
at
the
same
time
we've
been
talking
about
housing
issues,
so
I
think
we've
heard
from
our
from
our
public.
I
encourage
you
to
just
expedite
those
comments
within
a
minute
all
right,
homeless,
annual
report.
Thank
you.
Take
it
away.
D
Thank
you
councilmember
and
we'll
try
and
be
brief
with
our
presentation,
because
I
know
there's
still
a
lot
left
on
the
agenda
this
afternoon.
I'm
reagan
henninger,
I'm
the
deputy
director
of
the
housing
department,
I'm
here
with
my
colleague
kelly
hemphill,
and
this
is
an
annual
report.
We
bring
to
you
each
spring.
B
B
R
B
R
This
school
year,
20
2021,
was
quite
the
unique
year
to
set
the
context.
San
jose
had
been
facing
a
housing
crisis.
The
kovid
19
global
pandemic
exacerbated
the
crisis,
especially
for
the
most
vulnerable
in
our
city,
individuals
and
families
experiencing
homelessness
and
individuals
on
the
cusp
of
becoming
homeless.
R
R
R
R
R
R
The
idea
is
envisioned
as
part
of
the
community
plant
and
homelessness
we're
able
to
be
implemented
immediately
in
response
to
cobit.
We've
made
quite
a
bit
of
progress
on
the
plan's
goals
since
january
2020,
nearly
6
000
people
are
no
longer
homeless
and
are
now
in
permanent
housing
in
santa
clara
county.
R
More
than
96
percent
of
people
connected
to
permanent
supportive
housing
have
remained
in
their
homes
for
more
than
a
year,
year-round
temporary
shelter
capacity,
increased
almost
20
percent
to
2227
beds,
and
that's
largely
because
of
the
efforts
of
the
city
and
the
county
now
I'll
hand
it
over
to
reagan
to
discuss
our
lessons
learned
and
our
priorities.
Moving
forward.
D
D
We
also
dramatically
expanded
our
emergency
rental
assistance
prior
to
covet.
Our
homeless
prevention
system
was
serving
about
1500
households
a
year
and
in
the
first
phase
of
rental
assistance.
During
the
pandemic,
we
served
over
15
000
households
and,
while
the
covet
emergency
provided
an
infusion
of
one-time
money
to
do
this
work,
the
challenge
now
will
be.
D
How
do
we
keep
doing
this
scaling,
iterating
and
innovating,
and
so
this
coming
year,
we'll
work
with
the
city
managers,
office
and
public
works
on
how
we
reach
that
mayor
and
council
goal
of
getting
to
a
thousand
emergency
interim
housing
units,
and
we
will
be
coming
to
ced
committee
later
this
month
with
an
update
and
looking
ahead
at
emergency
rental
assistance
will
continue
to
focus
on
eviction,
prevention
and
diversion
we'll
be
coming
to
council.
With
an
update
on
march
22nd.
D
D
One
of
the
areas
that
we've
dramatically
expanded
over
the
last
year
as
well
is
our
emergency
crisis
and
street
based
services.
Again,
the
one-time
influx
of
covert
related
funds
allowed
us
to
provide
increased
street
street
based
outreach
and
case
management.
We've
been
delivering
hot
meals,
as
well
as
supplies
to
those
living
outside
and
encampments,
and
in
partnership
with
the
county.
At
the
beginning
of
covid,
we
set
up
an
emergency
shelter
hotline
to
quickly
assist
households
seeking
non-congregate,
shelter
or
shelter
in
one
of
our
temporary
shelters.
D
The
wilson
center
recently
took
over
the
operations
of
that
hotline
and,
in
this
coming
year,
we'll
work
closely
with
them
and
the
county
to
continue
to
improve
and
adapt
this
service,
and
then,
finally,
this
year
we'll
be
expanding.
The
encampment
service
program
called
soar,
as
well
as
establishing
two
safe
parking
programs.
D
Our
grants
team
who
went
from
contracting
out
14
million
dollars
a
year
to
over
200
million
dollars
a
year
and
then
finally,
a
thank
you
to
public
works
and
prns
and
dot,
and
all
of
the
over
100
city
employees
who
were
redeployed
as
disaster
service
workers
and
who
worked
in
our
temporary
those
100
employees
worked
specifically
in
our
temporary
emergency
shelters
last
year.
So
it
was
a
massive
effort
and
we're
so
grateful
to
everyone
who
helped,
and
that
concludes
our
presentation.
Thank
you.
J
J
I
think
I
just
wanted
to
quickly
offer
that
it's
my
understanding
that
we
may
be
receiving
one
side,
one-time
funding
as
local
cities,
but
from
the
covent
things,
but
you
know
the
federal
government
passed
along
really
significant
amounts
of
money
to
the
state
level
for
them
to
learn
to.
You
know,
reinvest
in
and
build
their
own
funds,
and
then
they
pass
along
to
cities.
So
we
are
dealing.
We
will
be
dealing
with
more
amounts
of
money
for
programs
in
the
future.
J
B
B
B
R
Excellent
question
chair:
you
know
this
was
a
transition
year
for
our
employment
development
programs.
This
was
the
first
time
we
had
contracted
with
those
two
non-profits,
and
so
it
took
a
little
bit
of
time
to
acclimate
them
to
to
us
and
also
they
took
most
of
the
time
to
hire
up
and
to
start
working
with
the
partners
of
rapid
rehousing,
which
would
be
their
referral
source
and
and
understanding
and
working
on
a
referral
process
between
the
five
agencies
that
we're
going
to
be
working
together
collaboratively.
R
So
that
was
a
big
piece
and
another
piece
that
we
saw
across
the
board
was
the
staffing.
It
was
really
hard
to
staff
up
that
past
year,
just
just
really
difficult
for
a
lot
of
our
non-profits.
So
those
were
the
the
two
primary
reasons.
We
didn't
see
very
good
outcomes.
We
do.
We
are
seeing
better
outcomes
now
now
that
a
full
year
has
passed
and
staffing
continues
to
be
an
issue,
but
my
team
is
working
very
very
closely
to
monitor
their
progress
and
their
performance
and
and
coaching
them
through
the
whole
thing.
B
Right,
okay,
well,
I'm
glad
that's
getting
picked
up,
but
I
I
do
have
to
make
a
note
that
I
think
they
had
expenditures
for
355,
but
they
only
serve
10
people
and
and
to
me
we
need
to
be.
I
know
you,
you
already
know
this,
because
you
you
stretch
at
the
the
dollar,
like
no
other
department,
especially
with
these
last
reports
that
you've
shared
with
us.
So
I
know
you
know
the
the
the
value
of
the
dollar
here
it
just
I
I
don't
know
when
we
would.
R
Definitely
noted,
I
think,
we're
already
there.
We
we
have
actually
put
them
on
a
performance
plan
to
improve,
so
we
we
noticed
it
right
away
and
we've
been
working
through
it
with
those
two
organizations
actually
in
particular,
so
we're
we're
on
track.
I
hope
that
we
do
get
there,
but
they
have
been
on
an
action
plan
already.
B
B
A
C
C
You're
good
to
go
good
afternoon,
honorable
council
members
and
members
of
the
public,
I'm
neil
rafino
assistant
director
for
the
department
of
parks,
recreation,
neighborhood
services
and
I'm
joined
here
today
with
daniel
lauzo,
our
public
information
manager
and
dave
delong,
our
division
manager
for
administrative
services.
I
do
want
to
note
that
both
of
these
folk
have
just
recently
been
permanently
placed
in
their
promotions,
so
I
want
to
congratulate
both
daniel
and
dave
for
that,
integral
key
points
for
our
department
to
make
sure
that
we
are
continuing
to
serve
the
community
next
slide,
please.
C
C
We
maintained
the
eoc
function
of
feeding
the
most
needy.
We
pivoted
multiple
times
in
providing
free
children
services
through
our
rock
and
preschool
programs,
expanded
our
place,
making
efforts
through
our
viva
series
and
abierto
programs
and
with
the
things
of
the
city
to
the
city
council.
We
formalized
the
beautify
san
jose
efforts
as
a
core
service
within
the
department.
I
Great
thanks,
neil
chair
arenas
and
committee
members,
my
name
is
dave
delong,
I'm
the
division
manager
over
at
pureness's
administrative
services
division
each
year.
It's
our
obligation
to
report
to
the
report
on
the
department's
prior
year
performance,
and
this
is
done
in
accordance
with
the
city,
council,
pricing
and
revenue
policy
1-21,
which
requires
us
to
publish
an
annual
report
that
presents
the
department's
accomplishments
results
and
performance
on
cost
recovery
goals.
I
To
that
end,
for
a
few
minutes
I'll
be
talking
about
our
fiscal
performance.
Before
we
share
the
many
ways
pns
supported
our
community
in
the
midst
of
the
code,
19
pandemic,
so
on
this
first
slide,
you'll
see
that
it
sets
the
context
around
our
size,
showing
that
we
bring
a
lot
of
resources
to
beer
and
serving
the
people
of
san
jose.
I
In
a
nutshell,
you'll
see
how
our
126
million
operating
budget
was
spread
across
our
respective
operating
areas,
with
the
administrative
services
and
community
facilities
development
divisions
rolled
together
on
that
first
line
of
strategic
support.
In
addition,
you
can
see
that
we
carried
742
budgeted
ftes.
However,
in
terms
of
people,
we
have
as
many
as
800
to
1500
active
employees
on
the
payroll
at
any
given
time
of
the
year.
I
say
this
to
point
out
that
in
2021
piranes
assigned
786
employees
to
help
staff
the
city's
emergency
operations
center.
I
I
In
terms
of
cost
recovery,
that
17
million
dollars
amounted
to
20.1
percent
of
our
operating
expenses.
Clearly,
this
is
smaller
than
the
24.4
realized
in
1920,
when
we
experienced
only
a
partial
year
of
covet
19
and
it's
much
smaller
than
the
35.3
cost
recovery.
We
saw
in
1819
when
we
generated
approximately
23
million
dollars
from
fee
activities
and
other
programmatic
revenues.
S
S
Community
centers
are
one
of
the
most
transformative
places
in
our
city
from
recreational
leisure
to
emergency
response
locations.
Community
centers
are
just
that
a
centralized
location
for
the
community,
our
centers,
are
safe
space
that
provide
accessible
programs
and
service
to
thousands
of
residents
each
and
every
day.
S
One
such
program
is
our
senior
nutrition
program,
a
vital
resource
for
senior
residents
in
need.
This
program
provides
nutritious
meals
to
adult
60
plus
at
community
center
locations
throughout
san
jose
for
little
to
no
cost.
Prior
to
the
pandemic.
S
p
served
between
700
to
800
participants
daily
due
to
the
increased
need
of
food
senior
nutrition
program
now
serves
nearly
1
500
meals
per
day.
This
program
also
offers
shelf
stable
foods
to
residents
ahead
of
holiday,
weekends
or
community
center
closures,
so
participants
never
go
without
a
meal.
S
Community
centers
also
provided
the
vaccination
events
in
coordination
with
the
emergency
operations
center.
It
provided
greater
access
to
vaccinations
for
all
eligible
residents,
regardless
of
health
insurance
or
immigration
status.
After
a
successful
mayfair
vaccination
pop-up
event,
centers
offered
additional
events
to
provide
second
doses.
S
Another
program
at
our
centers
is
essential.
Child
care
during
the
pandemic
staff
ensured
safety
of
students
and
employees
by
following
all
cdc
and
santa
clara
county
guidelines
through
child
care
programs,
san
jose
recreation,
preschool
transitioned
to
virtual
programming,
provided
activity,
books
and
supplies
to
keep
youth
engaged
during
lessons.
S
San
jose
community
centers
are
also
a
vital
asset
that
provide
residents
with
safe
places
to
go
during
all
kinds
of
emergencies,
including
active
heat,
advisories,
floods,
fires,
gas
leaks
and
more
this
past
fiscal
year,
community
centers
were
activated
for
11
days
as
cooling
centers
and
served
over
480
residents.
I
remember
going
to
camden
community
center
and
talking
to
residents,
and
one
of
them
was
a
senior
and
their
mom
and
they
were
thanking
staff
for
the
cool
place
as
their
ac
and
had
stopped
working
and
they
needed
a
place
to
stay
during
this
time.
S
What
makes
our
department
unique
among
other
park
and
recreation
departments
nationwide
is
our
emphasis
on
neighborhood
services.
Not
only
do
community
centers
serve
as
hubs
for
neighborhoods,
our
programs
and
services
reach
beyond
just
our
facility
walls
through
the
pandemic,
as
described
with
even
our
child
care.
Piranhas
programs
and
services
have
adapted
to
a
virtual
space.
S
Not
only
have
we
gotten
a
little
bit
better
at
zoom,
with
the
caveat
that
not
everyone
has
access
to
devices
due
to
the
digital
divide,
our
dedicated
staff
found
solutions
to
reach
residents
at
home
when
the
pandemic
limited
the
places.
We
could
a
great
example
of
that
was
our
therapeutic
recreation
program
since
serving
their
participants.
Virtually
specialists
have
given
wellness
check-in
calls
to
participants
once
a
week,
calls
give
participants
further
access
to
available
resources
and
provide
a
safe
space
for
their
mental
well-being.
S
During
a
time
of
isolation,
checking
calls
range
from
5
to
30
minutes
and
provide
crucial
support.
This
amassed
to
over
44
and
400
minutes
in
another
facet.
Community
impact
has
remained
an
important
part
of
our
work.
The
collaboration
between
our
project
hope,
team
and
capital
improvement
projects.
Division
has
proven
that
project
hope,
as
mentioned
before,
upholds
piernas's
guiding
principle
of
stewardship
and
empowers
priority
areas
in
san
jose
that
have
historically
been
marginalized
and
are
presently
experiencing
poor
outcomes
in
other
neighborhoods
project.
S
Hope
staff
help
residents
to
create
neighborhood
associations
and
learn
how
to
use
them
to
seek
resources
from
the
city
to
use
them
to
use
these
resources,
as
well
as
from
local
agencies
with
project
hope's
facilitation
of
civic
engagement
and
resident
leadership.
They
worked
with
the
capital
improvement
projects,
division
which
identifies
the
areas
of
improvement
in
our
neighborhoods
and
infrastructure.
S
Two
neighborhood
associations
made
a
difference
with
their
help
in
2018
welsh
park.
Neighborhood
associates
saw
a
mosaic
dog
statue
at
the
corner
of
welsh
park,
but
no
amenities
for
their
neighbors
and
their
furry
companions.
The
neighborhood
associate
envisioned
a
dog
park
and
project
hope
supported
them
in
partnering
with
the
cip
division
and
city
council
in
spring
2021.
The
welsh
dog
park
became
the
newest
style
park
in
san
jose.
S
Similarly,
since
2019
the
cadillac
winchester
neighborhood
association,
advocated
for
a
community
center
at
payne
avenue
park
that
would
allow
for
safe
youth
programming
project
hope,
assisted
the
neighborhood
associate
every
step
of
the
way,
collaborating
with
city
council
and
parks
and
rec
commission,
as
well
as
preparing
for
community
meetings
in
august
2020.
The
cip
division
took
the
association's
recommendations
incorporated
them
into
the
master
plan
for
payne
avenue
park,
including
the
construction
of
a
community
center.
S
Development
of
this
recreation
facility
is
to
be
determined
in
the
coming
years,
and
we
can
definitely
see
that
project
hope
and
the
community.
The
capital
improvement
projects,
division,
help
amplify
residents,
voices
and
encourage
self-advocacy
speaking
of
project
hope
it
now
activates
into
our
new
community
services
division.
This
division,
oversees
project,
hope
the
beautify
sj
program,
mayor's
gang
prevention,
task
force
and
youth
intervention
services
and
focuses
on
improving
quality
of
lives
in
our
neighborhoods.
S
The
new
division
was
a
directive
for
the
fiscal
year
for
this
fiscal
year
in
efforts
to
consolidate
the
work
of
beautify
sj.
Although
the
competing
impact
report
focuses
on
the
past
fiscal
year,
it's
worth
noting
and
the
work
our
previously
known,
recreation,
neighborhood
services
division
still
continues.
S
Youth
intervention
helps
keep
at-risk
children
in
our
community
engaged
in
positive
programs
and
away
from
gang-related
violence
and
drug
use.
When
schools
transition
to
distance
learning
the
safe
school
campus
initiative
program
adapted
a
new
approach
by
moving
into
the
community
staff,
were
able
to
build
relationships
and
offer
covid
safe
services.
S
The
beautify
sj
encampment
trash
program
is
a
people-focused
effort
to
work
with
encampment
residents
and
provide
resources
to
help
keep
our
streets
clean,
sanitary
and
safe
for
all
members
of
the
community
to
address
trash
and
blight
during
the
pandemic.
The
beautify
sj
encampment
trash
program
service,
250,
actively
encamped
areas
with
bi-weekly
garbage
pickup
and
ensured
cooperation
with
cleanliness
standards.
Programs,
like
recently
launched
trash
for
cash
and
bike
weekly
garbage
pickup,
are
crucial
to
keep
to
a
clean,
safe
city
and
promoting
pride
in
san
jose.
S
Our
parks
are
another
transported
place
that
provide
open
spaces
for
san
jose
residents
to
play,
exercise
and
socialize.
Maintaining
all
these
outdoor
spaces
takes
a
coordinated
effort
with
which
involves
maintenance
staff,
specialized
teams,
contractors,
partners
and
volunteer
support.
For
example,
our
park
rangers
provide
a
variety
of
essential
services
and
support
to
prns
and
our
crucial
asset
to
our
department
community
environment.
On
july,
4th
2020
rangers
assisted
santa
clara
county's
search
and
rescue
unit
in
a
major
search
for
a
missing
hiker
at
alumrock
park.
Missing
hikers
are,
unfortunately,
a
common
concern
nationwide.
S
Ranger
lee
used
a
hammer
and
chisel
to
carefully
remove
concrete
to
free
the
trap.
Bird
after
it
was
freed.
The
adult
canadian
goose
safely
retreated
into
the
lake.
The
wildlife
in
our
parks
required
that
this
kind
of
care
and
protection
and
our
park
rangers
are
crucial
to
the
well-being
of
the
beloved
wildlife
at
color
parks
home.
In
another
light
park,
maintenance
staff
were
crucial
in
providing
clean,
safe
and
beautiful
outdoor
spaces
for
residents
to
enjoy.
S
Staff
also
began
the
process
of
converting
50
traditional
drinking
fountains
to
bottle
fillers,
to
reduce
chances
of
virus
transmission
from
use
of
those
amenities,
and,
as
mentioned
from
the
recent
presentation
on
the
park,
maintenance
standards
report,
the
facilities
overseen
by
our
department,
such
as
playgrounds,
restrooms
picnic
areas
and
sports
courts
require
extensive,
regular
maintenance
from
pr
staff.
So
they
may
continue
to
be
enjoyed
by
members
of
the
community
outside
of
a
physical
space.
We
go
into
a
highlight
of
time,
which
may
have
been
noted
to
be
a
bit
foggy
during
the
pandemic
for
prns.
S
S
The
series
will
be
continuing
this
summer
and
I
invite
you
all
to
attend
them
within
your
districts
even
admits
the
pandemic
in
recovery.
Prns
strives
to
build
community
through
fun.
Community
building
events
remind
our
residents
that
we
are
all
in
this
together.
Many
of
our
city's
beloved
destinations
are
decades
few,
even
over
a
century
old.
Investing
adequate
staff
time
and
budget
towards
maintenance
is
crucial
to
offset
the
use
of
these
facilities
over
extended
periods
of
time.
B
S
S
So,
in
addition
to
opening
these
new
places,
park,
namings
were
also
inspired
belonging
for
the
future.
This
past
year,
while
hate
and
violence
targeting
the
asian
community
had
risen
a
new
park
in
d5
honors,
the
filipino
american
community,
with
the
delano
wanongs
park,
and
you
can
see
the
various
new
amenities
that
we
have
in
our
city
through
this
slide.
S
Efforts
are
emphasized
on
equity
and
accessibility
through
a
growing
scholarship
program,
adaptive
programs
and
services
for
seniors
and
children,
reopening
of
park
amenities
and
continued
implementation
of
activate
sj,
and
with
that,
we
hope
that
you
accept
our
2021
community
impact
report
and
continue
to
follow
our
social
media
on
our
stories
and
are
you're
open
to
your
voice.
Thank.
J
J
You
know
the
good
ideas
that
invite
equity
and
I
don't
know
just
good
health
ideas
and
sustainability-
even
reimagine.
I
guess
from
all
of
this-
is
there
a
way
to
incorporate
ideas.
The
future
of
gardening
in
these
sort
of
park,
projects
that,
like
emma
preach,
does
very
well,
and
I
think
that
can
be
an
important
part
of
how
to
talk
about
the
future
of
our
park
systems,
and
I
just
thought
I'd
mention
this
time.
Thank
you.
T
T
Well,
any
playground
gets
so
hot
without
the
shade,
and
so
that
was
a
much
needed
addition
and
very
much
appreciated.
So
I
always
like
to
say
thank
you
when
the
thank
you
is
due.
These
are
the
small
things
that
make
very
big
differences
when
the
kids
just
want
to
play.
So
thank
you
for
that
and,
in
addition,
we
really
need
to
make
sure
that
we
start
thinking
about
shade
all
the
time
all
over
our
parks
everywhere
we
can
in
the
future,
because
things
are
just
as
in
fact
you
know,
we
know
getting
hotter.
L
Yes,
yes,
yes,
I'm
here,
sorry
about
that,
I
mean
I
wouldn't
want
to
waste
any
of
your
time
down
there
at
city
hall.
Now
would
I
no
you
know
we
gotta.
If
we
have
open
space,
we
can
have
gardens,
we
gotta
go
for
it.
We
have
the
best
climate
on
earth
for
small
scale,
farming
and
gardening
and
there's
no
reason
not
to
create
a.
B
N
N
N
It
at
that,
okay,
two
two
questions.
I
have
two
questions
so
that
we
can
move
on
to
the
next
subject.
One
is
I'd
like
to
know
what
we're
doing
you
know.
I
went
and
had
a
wonderful
zumba
session
with
some
of
our
seniors
at
one
of
our
senior
conflicts.
I
could
barely
keep
up
with
them
and
that's
a
fact
because
they
had
all
this
energy
and
and
they
were
ready
to
go
after
you
know,
18
months
or
24
months
and
truly
they're
they're
not
doing
well.
N
Our
senior
community
is
is
not
doing
well,
they
feel
very
isolated,
truly
abandoned
and,
of
course
you
know
it's
for
obvious
reasons.
You
know
the
shutdown,
but
it's
been
particularly
difficult
for
our
senior
citizens,
and
so
I
wanted
to
ask
all
of
our
staff
here.
What
are
we
doing
to
get
our
programming
back
on
track
and
reopen
that
programming
for
our
seniors
and
especially
on
the
east
side
of
san
jose
in
the
mayfair
community
center?
What
are
we
doing
to
get
them
back
in
there?
N
C
Thanks
for
the
question
councilmember,
I
think
on
on
the
first
end,
you
know
we're,
as
you
know,
like
with
the
whole
city,
we've
been
kind
of
tracking
the
coveted
stuff,
as
as
best
we
can.
You
know
trying
to
ensure
that
especially
the
seniors
stay
as
safe
as
they
can.
But
with
that
you
know,
our
community
centers
are
open.
C
C
N
They
are
very
isolated,
I'm
telling
you
they
were
practically
in
tears
and
I
took
in
a
volunteer
who
who
does
activities
and
did
a
zumba,
and
I
had
a
full
auditorium
of
seniors
tomorrow.
I
have
another
volunteer
coming
in
and
doing
a
zumba
and
they
are
eager
they're
asking
they're
they're.
Looking
me
in
the
eye
and
they're
saying
do
not
forget
about
us,
please
keep
coming
back,
please
bring
us
more
activities
and
I'm
I'm
having
to
scramble
to
find
volunteers
to
do
activities
with
them
because
they
have
no
programming.
A
We
have
right
now
currently
a
combination
due
to
the
county
public
health
mandate.
We
have
a
combination
of
both
virtual
and
in-person
programming
and
once
it's
safer
to
do
so,
we've
already
staff
has
already
planned
several
activities
and
classes
there
are.
There
are
some
activities
right
now
taking
place
that
are
in
person
like
tai
chi
and
some
zumba
classes
and
I
believe,
pool
you
know
on
the
pool
table
ping
pong.
A
N
I'm
not
concerned
about
the
seniors
that
don't
want
to
go
there,
they
will
stay
home.
We
don't
have
to
worry
about
them.
They
will
stay
home,
we're
not
forcing
them
to
come
out.
I'm
very
concerned
about
the
seniors
who
are
isolated
and
who
are
looking
for
activities
because
they
feel
very
abandoned,
and
I'm
in
par.
N
If
not,
I
want
to
see
what
I
can
do
to
even
pay
for
it,
because
these
seniors
need
you
know
their
their
in
their
pr.
In
my
opinion,
they've
got
their
second
win.
You
know,
and
I
want
to
be
able
to
take
care
of
them.
So
I
want
to
be
able
to
see
whether
or
not
I
can
provide
something
for
them.
They,
they
they're
just
I'm
very
concerned
about
the
depression
and
the
chronic
illnesses
that
get
exp.
N
You
know
that
they
that
that
really
start
to
take
a
toll
on
on
this
age
group.
I
took
care
of
two
elderly
parents.
I
know
what
what
starts
to
happen
very
very
rapidly
and
we
need
to
be
able
to
provide
support
systems
for
them,
and
so
I'm
not
interested
in
what's
happening
at
barry
essa,
I'm
interested
in
what's
happening
at
the
mayfair
community
center.
For
these
families
remember
up
along
ala,
morock
in
jackson,
we
have
a
huge
concentration
of
seniors
that
you
could
reach
into.
N
Besides
all
of
the
mayfair
community
area
and
hill
view
and
dorsa,
you
have
a
huge
audience
that
you
could
be
reaching
out
to
and
pulling
in
and
even
transporting
or
having
conversations
with
those
independent
living
facilities
and
pulling
them
into
our
community
center,
and
so
I
want
to
see
what
we're
doing
to
help
them
get
over.
There.
N
N
Thank
you
so
much
oh
and
I'm
sorry,
and
so
the
the
second
question
that
I
have
is
spring
break
is
coming
along
and
so
is
summer,
and
I
like
to
be
able
to
provide
those
programmings
those
program
schedules
as
well
to
our
families,
so
they
can
start
preparing
for
all
of
us
who
have
been
parents
of
little
ones
and
we're
starting
to
prepare
for
our
summer.
You
know
how
that
is
chair.
N
It's
a
juggle,
especially
if
you
have
multiple
children
and
you're
trying
to
work
or
you're
trying
to
plan
vacations.
We
have
to
start
getting
them
into
those
summer
camps
very
early
on.
So
I'd
like
to
know
what
kinds
of
programmings
programs
are
available
to
our
kids,
especially
in
the
mayfair
area.
I'd
like
to
see
what
what
we
have
planned.
N
One
of
the
things
that
I
want
to
make
sure
is
that
the
programs
that
we
have
available,
especially
the
swim
programs
after
school
programs,
are,
are
at
par
with
other
centers
in
the
rest
of
the
city
of
san
jose.
So
if
there's
coding,
if
there's
robotics,
if
there's
legos,
if
there's
you
know
archery,
if
there
is
little
doctor
little
pediatrician
programs
are
being
offered
at
amaden
valley
at
at
berryessa
at
evergreen
community
center
at
bascom.
I
hope
that
they're
being
offered
as
well
at
mayfair
community
center.
N
N
B
Perfect-
and
I
I'm
also
going
to
ask
about
the
the
unduplicated
number
of
scholarships
and
we
can
get
that
offline,
I'm
also
interested
in
making
sure
that
we
have
a
shift
to
place-based
services,
and
I
know
we've
been
talking
a
lot
about
this-
to
make
sure
that
the
the
programs
and
services
that
we're
rendering
first
happen
and
most
of
them
happen
with
within
those
communities
that
are
impacted,
and
so
I'm
not
sure
what
the
the
process
is
for
that
shift,
if
maybe
neil
or
angel.
Could
you
talk
about
that.
C
Yeah,
I
think
you
know,
as
you
know,
it's
kind
of
been
our
ongoing
goal
right
to
kind
of
work
on
this
and
we'll
bring
a
focus
of
equity
into
these.
You
know
endeavors
and
exactly
what
councilmember
carrasco
brought
up
about
the
trying
to
work
toward
ensuring
that
there's
enough
programming
with
similar
programs
at
all
community
centers.
C
You
know
so
the
last
two
years,
as
you
heard
you
know
for
most
of
our
departments,
was
very
hard
for
us
to
to
get
through
in
terms
of
just
planning
for
the
future
right.
So
for
us
we're
really
kind
of
getting
back
to
a
reset
of
it.
Our
scholarships
pre-covered
were
hovering
around
1
million
dollars.
I
think
you
know
with
the
new
influx
of
money
we
had,
we
were
able
to
bring
it
up
to
almost
3
million,
so
that
really
pushed
us.
You
know
to
do
that.
C
We're
trying
to
look
for
opportunities
ongoing
to
maintain
that
level
right
of
service.
One
of
our
challenges
in
you
know,
especially
with
the
level
of
specialty
camps.
You
know
that
are
out
there.
Those
are
usually
at
you
know,
premium
cost.
So
you
know
our
efforts
to
continue
to
be
able
to
have
a
level
of
scholarship
support
so
that
those
vendors
you
know
can
can
be
can
be,
provided
you
know
their
revenue
as
well
as
the
services
to
community.
So
that's,
you
know
continuously
one
of
our
one
of
our
challenges
right.
C
B
You
know
support
our
communities,
and
so
this
investment
now
is
for
future
generations,
and
I
know
I'm
talking
to
I'm
singing
to
the
choir
here,
because
we
all
believe
the
same
thing.
We
just
need
to
figure
out
very
creatively
how
to
continue
to
sustain
what
you've
been
doing
during
the
pandemic,
because
it's
just
so
vital
so
vital
all
right.
Any
motions,
please
motion
to
proof.

Who
is
our

we're
here
to
talk
about?
What's
coming
for

Camp's
location
provides
easy
access
to
all
that.
Yosemite
has
to
offer
such

M
Family
camp
occupancy
ranges
from
70
to
300
campers
per
night
with
a
summer
support
staff
of
approximately
40
to
60
seasonal
employees.
Before
the
start
of
the
2020
regular
campus
season,
complications
from
the
kova
19
pandemic
led
to
the
suspension
of
the
season.
This
closure
was
extended
into
2021
family
camp
yosemite
has
not
hosted
guest
or
generated
revenue
since
the
closure
of
regular
summer
season
session
in
october
of
2019.
M
During
the
suspension
of
regular
activities
and
family
camp
at
yosemite,
we
continue
to
support
the
maintenance
and
development
of
new
amenities
throughout
the
facility.
Improvements
such
as
the
repair
of
the
interior
service,
road,
the
installation
of
the
heating
and
cooling
system
to
the
office
and
tuolumne
rooms.
Upgrading
the
wildest
public
address
system
and
the
installation
of
new
horseshoe
pit
are
examples
of
a
continued
effort
to
bring
needed.
M
Improvements
to
camp
both
guests
and
staff
will
benefit
from
an
upgraded
reservation
software
system
being
implemented
in
march
of
2022
over
the
over
the
past
year,
staff
updated
the
reservation
software
in
order
to
provide
a
more
user-friendly
experience
and
improve
efficiency
and
data
collection
for
staff
next

Please.
M
A
key
element
to
family
camp
success
is
continued
and
expanding
on
several
collaborative
partnerships
with
local
area
groups,
corporations
and
volunteers
in
order
to
supplement
staff
increase
occupancy,
improve
revenue
opportunities,
as
well
as
participation
by
underserved
groups.
Next
slide,
please,
as
part
of
our
effort
to
increase
access
to
the
family
camp
experience
for
all
san
jose
residents.
In
october
of
2021
prns
received
council
approval
to
submit
four
applications
for
the
highly
competitive
california
outdoor
equity
grant.
M
The
goal
of
the
oeg
is
to
increase
the
ability
of
residents
in
low-income
communities
to
participate
in
outdoor
experiences
if
fully
funded.
This
grant
would
provide
the
residents
in
these
neighborhoods
an
opportunity
to
participate
in
outdoor
experiences.
The
program
will
consist
of
outdoor
education,
education
classes
in
san
jose
and
a
free
trip
to
san
jose's
family
camp
participants
will
learn
about
outdoor
topics
such
as
camping
basics,
local
area
park,
information
and
their
own
environmental
impact.
M
M
M
The
past
two
years
of
suspended
operation
have
offered
camp
administration
an
opportunity
to
focus
on
needed
areas
of
improvement,
such
as
site
safety,
programming
offered
and
out
of
season
event
and
site
management.
We're
looking
forward
to
bringing
campers
back
to
camp
starting
with
fish
camp
2022
reservations
for
family
camp
will
begin
on
sunday
march
13th
and
in
conclusion,
we
recommend
the
committee
accept
the
report
on
family
camp
at
yosemite
in
advance
of
its
return
for
the
2022
season
and
are
here
for
your
feedback
and
questions.
T
Hi
real
quick,
so
I
know
you're
in
a
hurry
family
camp
in
yosemite,
I've.
Actually,
I've
lived
here.
My
whole
life
54
years.
I've
never
heard
of
family
camp
and
I've
never
been
to
yosemite,
and
I
just
want
to
thank
you
for
this
and
I'll
look
into
it,
but
maybe
that's
something
I
don't.
I
don't
even
know
how
I
would
have
found
out
about
it,
but
I've
always
wanted
to
go
there.
So
thank
you,
I'm
looking
forward
to
it.
T
M
Great
question:
the
traditional
sense
of
registration
of
family
cap
has
usually
been
first
come
first
served
so
right
now
we're
it
was
kind
of
difficult
to
figure
out
how
we're
gonna
do
that
coming
back
so
right
now,
registration
will
introduce
a
green
screen
and
slowly
allow
people
to
register
on
the
site.
This
coming
sunday
on
march
march,
13th.
D
Year,
we're
concert:
we've
worked
with
several
project
hope
sites
to
help
increase.
Our
outreach.
Outreach
is
definitely
an
area
that
we
we
know.
We
need
to
work
on.
We've
gotten
some
feedback
lately
on
it
as
well.
So
it's
a
concentrated,
we're
gonna,
we're
also
going
to
be
reaching
out
to
all
of
the
council.
B
C
A
B
B
A
B
J
Hi
glad
we've
been
here.
Thank
you.
Maybe
I
can
speak
to
the
coyote
trail
cradle
creek
trail
project
is
open
forum
time.
Just
a
reminder.
I've
spoken
about
you
know
in
the
past
month
a
few
times
now
that
for
the
coyote
creek
trail
issues,
the
city
of
cheek
of
davis,
california,
they've
been
doing
some
really
amazing
good
work
on
their
wildlife
trails,
and
you
know,
and
such
around
with
issues
of
surveillance
and
technology
and
data
collection
that
will
be
along
the
wildlife
trails.
J
They've
developed
some
really
good,
interesting,
open
public
policy
ideas
and
practices
and
guidelines.
That
can
be
a
really
helpful
good
example
for
yourselves,
with
a
number
of
outdoor
trail
projects
and
like
coyote,
creek
ideas.
So
good
luck
in
using
that
and
good
luck
and
how
openness
and
accountability
with
technology
and
data
collection
can
really
help
organize
your
vision,
zero
and
law
enforcement
questions
at
this
time.
J
L
Yeah,
I
thought
it
was
open
forum
when
I
called
in
like
an
hour
ago.
You
know
sorry
about
that
people,
but
yeah
once
again,
thanks
a
lot
for
actually
moving
some
things
in
the
right
direction
and
trying
to
make
things
a
little
bit
better
in
this
town.
Usually,
like
I
say
this
city
is
wrong
on
almost
everything
really
is
a
lot
of
things
that
come
out
of
city
hall
are
disgraceful,
but
lately
there's
been
a
couple
nice
things.
L
I'd
have
to
say,
you
know
mentioning
christmas
and
easter
by
carrasco
was
nice
and
I
don't
her-
and
I
are
probably
not
ever
going
to
be
great
friends,
but
it
was
nice
that
she
talked
about
that
spending
easter
at
alum
rock
park
and
getting
that
place
back
up
and
running
again.
It
was
neglected
for
so
many
years,
be
nice
to
see
them.
Have
a
nice
150
year
anniversary-
and
you
know,
lighten
up
proof
park
for
christmas
and
make
sure
proof
park
is.
A
T
Borders
hi,
first
of
all,
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you
to
all
of
you
that
serve
the
public.
I
I
think
it
would
be
an
extraordinarily
challenging
thing
to
do
so.
I'm
always
appreciative
every
once,
while
I
remember
to
say
it
so.
Thank
you.
I
just
wanted
to
comment
very
very
briefly
on
the
idea
I've
mentioned
before.
I
haven't
quite
figured
it
out
yet,
but
one
of
my
passions
is
to
try
to
figure
out
how
we
can
create
a
future
where
we
don't
have
this
concept
of
a
separation
between
renters
and
owners.
T
It's
very
bothersome
to
me.
I
know
we're
moving
forward,
sometimes
in
language
where
we
talk
about.
You
know:
community
land
trusts,
and
things
like
that
which
I
do
hope
is
more
of
a
future,
but
I
do
want
to
just
pass
on
the
concept
of
if
renters
would
receive
once
a
year
a
property
tax
bill
that
belonged
to
the
owner
of
the
property
so
that
they
could
actually
see
part
of
what
their
rental
payment
goes
towards.
I
think
it
would
help
them
feel
more
connected
to
the
value
that
they
have
in
society
back.
