Oh

apologize
councilmember.
Thank
you

much
for

us.
Well,
I'm
going
to
open
up
the
the
the
committee
meeting.
This
is
october,
8th,
I'm
sorry
I
was
I
was
stuck
in
september.
I
was
going
to
say
a
date
in
september,
it's
october
8th,
and
this
is
the
neighborhood
service
education
committee
and
we're
going

with
a
roll
call.
So
tony
jimenez.
C
A
A
D
D
A
Wonderful,
thank
you
so
much.
I
apologize
about
that.
Okay,
thank
you
for
that
deferral,
council
member
esparza
seen
that
we'd
have
nothing
under
consent.
We
are
going
to
move
quite
quickly.
I
think
we
only
have
two
items
in
today's
agenda
and
so
we're
going
to
move
into
item
number
d1,
which
is
city
council
policy,
priority
number
four
which
and
it's
downtown
or
citywide
parks
operations,
maintenance,
financing,
district
status
report.
A
C
F
A
G
Thank
you
angel
and
thank
you
chair
and
members
of
the
committee.
My
name
is
avio
tom,
I'm,
the
interim
deputy
director
of
the
parks,
division
and
parks,
recreation
and
neighborhood
services
joined
today
by
carolina
camarena,
our
public
information
manager,
currently
acting
as
the
eoc's
epio,
as
well
as
michelle
mcgurk
assistant
to
the
city
manager
and
the
office
of
administration
policy
and
intergovernmental
relations.
G
G
G
And,
of
course,
throughout
our
parks.
Trails
and
open
spaces
have
served
as
a
reprieve,
from
shelter
in
place,
emphasizing
the
the
critical
importance
of
park,
access
and
access
to
open
spaces
and
green
spaces
and
the
10-minute
walk
and
the
need
for
a
10-minute
walk.
And
although
our
data
on
park
visitation
has
always
been
a
little
bit.
Sporadic
during
shelter
in
place.
We
partnered
with
an
urban
planning
program
at
stanford
university
to
examine
park,
use
in
light
of
code
restrictions,
and
what
we've
learned
is
since
the
starter,
shelter
in
place.
G
G
A
D
A
C
C
H
Council
member
john
cessarelli,
director
parks,
recreation,
neighborhood
services,
you're
right
columbus
park
is
where
we
put
a
big
chunk
of
this
money.
We
also
did
a
variety
of
smaller
projects
all
over
the
place,
so
some
examples
well
in
your
district
right,
we're
gonna
we're
gonna,
replace
the
natural
turf
with
artificial
turf
at
rammic.
H
Some
of
this
money
went
into
the
pow
stadium,
where
we're
gonna
do
the
same
thing,
a
turf
conversion,
but
the
bulk
of
it
is
definitely
in
columbus
park.
That
will
be
the
end
of
the
money.
So
all
the
money
is
programmed
it's
just
in
various
phases
of
being
spent,
whether
it's
design
or
construction.
That's
going
on
right
now,.
C
Okay,
do
you
expect
that
that
money
is
going
to
be
utilized
and
spent,
as,
as
you
know,
folks
expected
well
not
as
expected,
but
this
is
going
to
be
utilized
before
we
move
forward
with
something
to
put
before
the
voters.
I
guess
good
and
the
reason
I
ask
that
is.
I
have
concern
that
some
folks
are
going
to
latch
on
to
the
fact
that
we
still
haven't
finished
using
or
utilizing.
C
H
H
So
construction
may
have
already
begun
by
the
by
the
time
we're
in
front
of
the
voters.
But
I
do
want
to
talk
about
the
bond
measure
for
a
second,
when
we
look
at
this
as
an
administration,
we've
actually
leaned
leaned
away
from
a
bond
measure
where
we
borrow
a
lot
of
money
and
build
a
lot
of
stuff
and
we're
leaning
more
towards
an
assessment
that
provides
an
ongoing
stream
of
revenue
every
single
year
and
that
and
that
can
focus
primarily
on
operations
right
taking
care
of
what
we
have.
H
But
we
can
also
use
that
money
to
build,
and
that's
the
great
thing
that
the
flexibility
in
in
an
assessment
and
an
ongoing
source
of
revenue
and
that's
really
what
we're
after
here
is
figuring
out.
How
do
we,
how
do
we
long-term
invest
in
prns
and
not
just
in
the
building
building
buildings,
but
actually
operating
programs
and
providing
services
to
the
community?
So
when
we
we
can
always
bond
against
that
revenue
stream
right
you
could
take.
For
example,
I
talked
with
the
finance
department
and
basically
for
every
one
million
dollars
we
per
year.
H
We
wanted
to
put
away
from
an
ongoing
revenue
source.
We
could
borrow
10
million
against
it,
so
you
can
leverage
that
money
into
borrowing
or
you
can
just
save
some
of
it
and
spend
it
directly
on
infrastructure
which
we
would,
but
it
has
this
whole
other
aspect
that
we
think
is
vitally
important.
Yeah.
C
Yeah,
I
appreciate
that
sorry
I
I
was
just
losing-
maybe
I
shouldn't
be
doing
that,
but
using
terms
very
loosely,
but
essentially
we're
trying
to
find
a
consistent
revenue
stream-
and
I
remember
my
time
on
the
parks
commission
talking
about
other
cities
that
do
this-
that
don't
have
the
same
difficulties.
We
do
we
have
when
the
market
sort
of
dips
and
stuff-
I
think
it's
chicago-
and
I
think
even
vallejo
has
something
similar
right
is
my
recollection,
but
yeah.
J
J
H
J
H
J
And
look
the
other
thing
I
wanted
to
say:
is
that
really
enjoyed
the
presentation
and
particularly
the
video?
I
wondered
if
it
would
be
possible
for
us
to
have
the
video
accessible,
so
we
might
be
able
to
post
it
on
our
social
media
outlets
and
and
help
make
a
case
for
funding
prns
in
a
subtle
way,
just
showing
them.
J
What
all
the
good
work
that
you're
doing,
because
truly
our
parks
are
enjoyed
by
everyone
in
san
jose
and
we
want
them
to
be
as
the
best
quality
that
we
possibly
can
and
funding
them
makes
absolute
sense
and-
and
I
think,
when
we
shut
them
down
during
a
shelter
in
place,
it
really
hurt
our
residents
significantly
because
they
weren't
able
to
go
and
do
the
things
they
like
to
do
in
the
open
space.
So
anything
we
can
do
to
spread.
J
H
Can
I
make
a
shameless
plug
to
the
you
know,
we'll
we'll
make
sure
to
share
that
video,
but
just
at
the
end
of
last
week
we
also
shared
with
your
staff,
and
you
can
check
in
with
them
some
some
things
about
preschool
and
learning,
pods
and
rock
after
school.
We've
got
flyers
in
multiple
languages
that
you
can
use.
H
We've
got
a
variety
of
media
tools
and
in
there
is
also
a
link
to
another
video
that
our
staff
did,
that
walks
people
through
what
it
looks
like
to
be
in
one
of
these
classrooms,
with
social
distancing
and
everything.
We're
trying
to
break
down
some
some
barriers
of
fear.
Council
member
uranus
recommended
that
to
us
a
couple
weeks
ago,
so
we
went
ahead
and
produced
that
so
that's
out
there
as
well.
So
we
would
hope
you
could
share
that
stuff
too.
J
D
Council
member
esparza,
thank
you.
Thank
you
again
for
the
video
and
and
the
great
videos
that
you've
shared
on
facebook
for
us
to
share,
and,
yes,
I
included
preschool
in
my
newsletter
and
we've
been
pushing
it
out
to
the
community.
So
thank
you
for
giving
us
all
the
flyers
too.
That
was
awesome.
I
had
a
question
for
avi.
D
K
Hi
councilmember,
thank
you
for
the
question.
You
know,
I
think
we
will
reach
out
to
our
opponent
our
pollsters
and
see
what
they
recommend
they're
seeing
from
other
communities
following
the
november
election.
You
know
we're
very.
We
will
be
watching
some
of
the
local
measures
very
closely,
such
as
measure
t
that
the
open
the
renewal
that
the
open
space
authority
has
on
the
ballot
and
looking
at
what
happens
around
the
state.
K
So
you
know,
I
think
what
I
my
my
gut
tells
me
is
that
people's
feelings
about
parks
in
san
jose
are
going
to
be
in
a
very
different
place,
given
how
much
everybody's
been
using
the
parks,
I
see
you
know
even
the
tiniest
little
parks
that
in
as
I
get
out
and
walk
around
that
you
know,
you
might
only
see
one
or
two
families
are
very
busy
right
now
so
and
just
anecdotally.
I
think
that
that's
really
making
our
residents
see
how
valuable
the
parks
are.
K
D
A
A
But
at
the
same
time
our
community
depends
on
you
so
much
because
they
have
little
money
or
change
in
their
pockets
for
entertainment
and
just
to
share
time
with
their
children
during
you
know,
non-uh
work
hours,
and
so
it
it's
a
it's.
A
vicious
cycle
really
really
vicious
cycle,
and
so
I'm
I'm
glad
to
see
that
that
we're
actually
exploring
something
that
would
be
permanent
in
terms
of
funding
strategies.
And
so
I
wonder
if
we
could
and
council
member,
I
think
it
was
foley.
A
You
have
the
motion
on
the
floor.
I
wonder
if
we
can
include
in
that
motion
and
be
before
you
accept
I
just
or
even
consider
it
excuse
me.
I
wanted
to
ask
angel
if
we
could
have
you
know,
I'm
thinking
about
adding
to
just
really
fleshing
out
some
of
this.
This
work
plan
that
we
have
in
particular
I'm
preparing.
You
know
that
for
the
2022
ballot
you
know
maybe
some
of
a
work
plan
for
funding
strategies.
A
A
E
A
A
I'm
so
sorry
we're
getting
some
work
done
here
on
our
street
and
it
seems
like
for,
for
whatever
reason,
it
is
really
messing
with
me
today,
so
so
anyways.
What
I
was
saying
is
is
I
was
hoping
that
that
I
hope
that
this
could
be
useful,
having
a
some
additional
direction
and
and
maybe
even
exploring
the
community
interest
in
in
distance
learning
and
as
council
members
faisal
was
talking
about.
You
know
we
don't
know
what
next
year
is
gonna.
A
I
was
just
talking
to
santa
clara
county
office
of
education
and
their
preschool
and
child
care
points
of
contact,
and
they
were
telling
me
that
they
were
very
concerned
about
the
decline
in
enrollment
for
preschool
for
transitional,
kinder
and
kinder
for
that.
For
that
matter,
because
kinder
is
not
mandated
by
the
state,
it's
not
obligatory
some,
so
some
parents
can
actually
skip
out
and
and
and
so
I
asked
them
to
look
into
that-
a
little
bit
more
to
figure
out
whether
it
was
impacting
a
certain
population.
A
A
A
We
all
rely
on
them
for
this
open
space,
especially
in
areas
that
there
isn't
very
much
open
space,
but
I'm
hoping
that
maybe
we
can
just
take
a
look
at
the
community
interest
in
child
care,
backslash
distance
learning,
we've
we've
been
dealing
with
with
lack
of
enrollment,
I
think
in
some
parts
of
san
jose
and
I
think
the
I
think
it
was
earlier
this
year.
Oh
my
gosh,
I
this
is
2020,
so
I
don't
know
if
it
was
this
year
or
last
year,
but
certainly
sometime
in
the
past.
A
You
know
you
you've
all
brought
us
this
presentation
in
which
we
saw
the
the
high
enrollment
of
our
preschools
in
some
parts
of
our
city
and
where
there
is
over-representation
actually
of
child
care
and
quality
preschool
settings.
And
then
the
lack
of
enrollment
and
lack
of
of
these
opportunities
in
areas
of
low
economic,
socioeconomic
status
and
so
to
me
you
know
it
goes
a
little
bit
hand
in
hand
in
terms
of
you
know
who
who
uses
our
parks?
A
Who,
who
is
who
is
the
consumer
of
of
our
services
and
and
and
in
this
effort
to
to
make
sure
that
we
are
equitable
to
all
of
our
communities.
I
think
that
we
can,
at
the
very
least,
explore
we're
already
going
to
be
asking
some
questions.
I
think
you
wouldn't
be
too
far
stretch
and
I'm
hoping
to
get
your
feedback
on
that
angel.
E
Yeah,
no
thank
you,
councilmember
and,
and
just
to
kind
of
respond
to
kind
of
your
your
first
question.
So
one
of
the
things
that
we're
going
to
be
doing
is
is
we're
going
to
be
re-scoping
a
work
plan
based
on
the
council
direction
that
we
received.
You
know
there
was
the
council
member
that
that
that
you
and
council
members,
farzed
and
paralysis,
put
forward
and
that
that
that
provided
us
direction
to
really
focus
on
in
specifically
two
areas.
E
And
so
we
need
to
find
a
way
to
sustain
this
work
outside
of
the
general
fund.
If
we're
going
to
be,
you
know
sustainable
long
term,
so
we'll
definitely
do
that
and
then
to
your
last
point.
I
think
what
we're
going
to
be
doing
is
is
is
really
you
know
identifying.
What
are
the
emerging
needs,
especially
based
on
kind
of
this
during
and
post
covid
environment
that
that
we
as
a
department
need
to
pivot,
not
only
pr
s
but
also
the
library
and
other
community
serving
departments
as
well,
so
yeah
so
noted.
A
A
In
no
no
no
worries
council,
member
foley,
I
know
that
there
were
some
things
that
they
were
just
a
little
bit
outside
of
what
the
direction
that
we
had
originally
given
through
a
former
memo
and
so
angel.
I
know
that
you
agreed,
I
don't
know
if
you
think
that
it
we
need
to
include
it
in
a
motion,
and
since
it's
a
little
bit
outside
of
the
scope
and
basically
council
member
foley
is,
is
fleshing
out
a
work
plan
for
funding
strategies.
A
And
and
asking
to
see
if
they
could
consider
evaluating
the
community
interest
in
child
care
since
they'll
be
taking
a
poll,
and
I
think
it's
a
bit
closely
related.
Certainly
it's
it's
in
the
realm
of
prns,
and
so
I'm
hoping
that
we
can
take
this
opportunity
to
to
also
ask
about
child
care.
Backslash,
distance
learning,
pods.
A
F
F
F
You
know,
council,
member,
esparza
and
and
of
course
every
district
has
a
little
bit
of
of
what
I'm
about
to
say.
You
know
I
represent
a
district
that
has
a
very
tiny
homes,
very
tiny,
tiny
apartments
and,
of
course,
the
overcrowding
in
in
those
apartments
as
it
is,
they
have
no
backyards.
They
have
no
front
yards,
there's
nowhere
for
children
to
to
exercise
there's
nowhere
for
children
to
to
develop
a
large
muscle
movement,
which
you
know
from
my
time
in
in
first
five
with
council
member
arenas.
F
F
You
know
you
know,
they're
going
a
little
nutso,
you
know
in
in
in
our
home
and
and
I've
taken
to
running
in
different
districts,
because
because
it's
the
only
thing,
that's
really
keeping
me
sane,
I
would
say
in
these
times
I
hit
the
trails
at
cunningham
park.
I've
gone
to
different
parks
in
willow
glen.
You
know
I'm
I'm
hitting
the
pavement,
even
though
it's
really
bad
on
my
hips
and
knees
right
now.
F
But
you
know
I'm
just
like
really
seeing
things
up
close
and
personal
when
you're,
when
you're
running
well
fast
walking
in
my
case
but
but
I
have
to
tell
you,
you
know,
being
able
to
explore
this
additional
funding.
Source
and
being
able
to
have
a
plan
is.
Is
it's
critical
and
it's
much
needed,
especially
for
these
underinvested
communities?
F
When
I
went
to
new
york
of
all
places
of
all
places.
When
I
went
to
new
york
in
the
middle
of
crazy
town
over
there,
you
know
to
see
the
the
investment
that
they
made
in
places
like
new
york,
like
los
angeles,
it's
they're,
beautiful
parks,
and
so
we
to
be
able
to
offer
this
to
our
residents,
I
think
is,
is
a
wonderful
thing.
F
So
thank
you
to
my
council
colleagues
for
putting
forth
the
memo
that
they
did
to
explore
this
and
to
see
if
our
our
own
residents
are
willing
to
essentially
tax
themselves
in
order
to
be
able
to
bring
these
amenities
into
their
neighborhoods
and
to
have
a
state-of-the-art
facilities.
I
think
it's
worth
it.
I
think
our
children
deserve
it.
I
grew
up
in
parks
because
I
grew
up
in
a
very
congested
area
as
well
on
the
west
side
over
by
the
henries,
and
I
loved
it.
F
I
you
couldn't
get
me
indoors
for
anything
I
didn't
know
anything
other
than
the
streets
and
the
parks
and
and
the
in
the
public
pools,
and
so
you
know
so.
Thank
you
so
much.
I
wanted
to
raise
my
hand,
but
I
just
couldn't
raise
my
hand.
I
don't
I
don't
know
what's
going
on
here,
but
thank
you
so
much
chair.
A
Thank
you.
I
I
was
smiling
at
the
beginning
of
your
comments,
council
member,
because,
as
you
were
saying,
you
know,
you
know
how
how
parents
are
doing
it.
You
know
with
all
these
children,
as
my
daughter's
like
are
you
on
mute.
I
need
to
tell
you
something
and
she's
already
interrupted
me,
but
she
needed
to
to
do
that
at
least
three
three
to
four
times
during
this
meeting,
but
but
that's
our
reality
at
this
moment.
A
But
not
everybody
can
do
that,
and
so
I
know
that
our
parks
and
rec
are
doing
their
best
to
to
make
sure
that
you
all
pivot
with
the
times
and
that
you
provide
some
of
these
opportunities
for
our
families
to
get
back
to
work,
maybe
maybe
even
just
to
to
have
some
me
time
right
and
that's
important.
So
I
just
want
to
once
again
thank
you
for
for
doing
that
during
this
pandemic,
as
well
as
that
was
a
great
video
avi.
I
really
liked
it.
F
All
right,
if
I,
if
I
could
add
this
one
last
thing
about
school
here
in
preschool
when
I
had
three
three
little
ones
and
and
they're
all
about
15
months
apart,
the
my
last
three.
So
at
one
point
they
were
all
in
diapers
and-
and
I
would
just
say
next
next
next
as
I
was
changing
diapers
and
and
when
they
all
started
priests.
Well,
they
didn't
all
start
preschool.
When
one
started
preschool.
The
other
two
were
in
child
care.
I
went
back
to
work.
F
I
literally
spent
two
and
a
half
hours
on
the
road,
picking
up
dropping
off
picking
up
dropping
off,
and
this
was
during
my
lunch
break
and
I
was
not
in
a
in
a
privileged
position.
I
was
in
a
very
difficult
situation.
Nearly
got
fired
as
I
was
a
a
mother
who
was
returning
back
to
work
had
to
get
very
creative
in
terms
of
what
time
I
came
into
work
at
7.
30
a.m
had
to
leave
to
go
back
and
drop
the
first
child
off
to
school.
F
It
got
so
wild
at
one
point
and
then
had
to
work
really
late
hours
in
order
to
make
up
that
really
long,
lunch
break
it
and
you
know,
and
the
administrators
wouldn't
work
with
me
in
terms
of
synchronizing
the
children's
pickup
hour.
So
it
was
almost
a
two
and
a
half
hour
lunch
break
that
I
had
to
take
in
order
to
pick
up
three
little
ones
from
three
different
schedules,
because
they
just
were
so
difficult
and
wouldn't
work
with
a
working
mom
who
who
had
three
little
ones.
F
F
You
know
there's
this
very
small
window
of
developing
these
synapses
making
these
connections,
and
so
you
want
to
provide
these
opportunities,
but
sometimes
it
just
creates
these
hindrances
and
these
challenges,
and-
and
I
came
very
close
to
losing
my
job
because
they
were
so
difficult
to
work
with
a
working
mom
and
I
had
a
a
three-year-old,
a
four-year-old
and
a
five-year-old
so
hard.
It
was
very.
It
was
probably
the
toughest
time
in
my
in
my
return
back
to
to
to
work.
So
I
I
just
wanted
to
add
that
council,
council
member,
thank
you.
A
So
it's
an
option
that
people
are
making
and
not
enrolling
their
children
to
one
of
those
three
options:
tk
preschool
or
kinder
anyways.
Thank
you,
councilmember
carrasco.
Maybe
we
should
talk
offline
about
this
because
this
sounds
like
this
is
something
that
that
needs
our
support
as
well.
All
right.
Let's
get
back
to
this
motion
on
the
floor
and
we
have
a
motion.
We
have
a
second
tony.
Would
you
do
the
honors
jimenez.
C
A
Thank
you
all
right,
thank
you
for
that
presentation
and
we
are
on
to
item
number
d2,
and
this
is
age,
friendly
city
initiative,
update
and
san
jose
age,
friendly,
three-year
action
plan,
and
I
see
that
we
have
some
added
guests,
so
I'm
going
to
guess
we're
going
to
hear
from
them
on
this
presentation.
Thank
you.
L
So
we
know
we've
been
talking
extensively
right
about
the
digital
isolation
for
many
of
our
older
adults,
but
we
also
know
there's
transportation,
mobility,
isolation
and
then
something
that
prns
has
spent
a
lot
of
time
on
the
social,
emotional
isolation
right
and
if
we
can't
be
connecting
with
our
older
adults
in
the
community
center
right,
which
we're
probably
not
seeing
in
the
next
six
to
12
months.
How
else
can
we
address
those
issues?
L
So
with
that,
I'm
going
to
turn
to
topic
of
the
day
age
friendly
and
to
introduce
susan
nash
and,
of
course,
you're
familiar
with
jeremy
schaffner.
Our
recreation
superintendent
for
therapeutics
and
seniors
we'll
be
doing
next
steps.
But
susan
nash
joined
us
about
a
year
ago
through
the
encore,
fellowship
she's.
L
Also,
an
affiliate
with
stanford
center
for
longevity
comes
with
a
great
background,
also
as
a
lawyer,
and
I
will
say,
the
multi-year
effort
of
bringing
an
age-friendly
action
plan
to
this
stage
really
about
within
the
shape
thanks
to
susan
and
all
of
her
organizing
skills.
So
I'm
really
thankful
that
she
joined
prns.
L
As
you
know,
we
are
the
city
leader
in
older
adults
and
senior
services
city-wide
and
were
responsible
to
coordinate
what
is
really
a
city-wide
age-friendly
action
plan,
susan
coordinated
with
nine
departments,
to
bring
this
forward
to
you,
which
I
think
you
can
see
in
the
summary
several
action
items
related
from
policy
to
programs
and
practices
from
the
built
environment
to
you
know:
gentogen
type
of
services,
so
there's
there's
a
breath
and
a
depth
in
the
action
plan
and
I'd
like
to
turn
it
over
to
susan
to
go
over
the
presentation.
Thank
you.
M
Great
thank
you
andrea
good
afternoon,
madam
chair
and
members
of
the
committee,
I'm
just
so
pleased
to
be
here
I
feel
like
it.
It
was
a
longer
journey
than
any
of
us
thought.
I
was
originally
scheduled
to
be
in
front
of
this
committee
in
may,
so
we
all
know
how
that
worked
out.
So
I'm
just
glad
to
see
this
this
one
year
fellowship
which
technically
ended
last
month,
I'm
glad
to
see
us
have
an
actual
product.
So
I'm
just
going
to
share
my
screen
here.
M
And
as
I
before,
I
start
the
the
brief
slideshow
I
want
to
give
a
big
shout
out
to
andrea
and
jeremy
and
the
pr
s
team.
They
were
just.
They
provided
so
much
support
to
me
in
getting
this
done,
as
did
people
across
all
departments
and
people
in
and
some
of
your
offices.
So
it's
been
a
real
multi-department
effort
led
by
prns,
but
with
a
lot
of
input,
and
that's
made
it
my
job
much
easier
so
to
dive
right
in.
M
I
don't
need
to
tell
this
committee
that
the
age
friendly
effort
in
san
jose
began
long
before
I
got
involved.
It
just
is
a
quick
reminder.
It
began
in
early
2015
and
culminated
in
a
unanimous
vote
by
the
city
council
to
apply
for
age-friendly
status
with
the
world
health
organization
and
aarp,
and
that
designation.
M
It's
a
process
that
you'll
probably
recall
and,
and
it
resulted
in
getting
the
designation
in
the
fall
of
2016..
So,
of
course
the
designation
is
just
the
first
step.
It
means
that
a
city
has
demonstrated
its
commitment
to
become
more
age
friendly.
It
doesn't
mean
that
it's
reached
that
that
that
pinnacle,
that's
an
ongoing
effort
and
the
next
step
set
by
both
the
who
and
aarp
is
the
submission
of
a
three-year
action
plan.
M
There
are
over
a
thousand
cities
worldwide,
six
states
in
the
u.s
and
one
territory,
so
the
movement
continues
to
grow.
The
relevance
of
creating
an
age
friendly
city
is,
if
anything,
even
more,
even
stronger
than
it
was
when
this
city
first
got
involved,
and
I
the
way
I
like
to
illustrate
this
is
to
talk
just
briefly
about
the
changing
demographics.
M
This
is
based
on
census.
Data
from
2017,
the
the
world's
population
continues
to
age,
and
this
is
not
just
a
blip.
You
can
see
that
we
are
moving
from
a
pyramid
to
a
pillar.
Another
way
to
think
about
this
is
that
there
are
10
000
baby
boomers
turning
65
every
day.
This
will
be
my
year
to
turn
65.
So
I'm
acutely
aware
of
this
statistic
and
that
will
continue
until
2029..
M
It's
estimated
that
by
2034,
the
united
states
will
have
more
people
over
65
than
under
18..
So
if
we
just
think
about
that,
for
a
minute,
you
can
see
that
creating
environments
and
programs
and
policies
that
include
all
ages
is
critical.
It
will
remain
critical.
It's
also
important,
I
think,
to
note
that
age
friendly
often
is
associated
with
just
older
adults.
M
I
loved
the
fact
that
the
logo
for
age
friendly
again
well
before
my
time
has
as
it's
a
subtext
in
san
jose
a
city
for
all
ages,
and
that
is
really
the
goal
of
the
age
friendly
movement,
both
because
everybody
gets
old
again.
I
don't
think
I
have
to
tell
anybody
that,
but
you
can
see
that
this
progression
means
that
whatever
you
do
now
to
make
the
city
more
age
friendly
will
benefit
all
ages
for
years
to
come,
but
also
because
an
age-friendly
city
has
aspects.
M
M
The
other
fact
I
would
just
point
out-
and
this
is
with
my
center
on
longevity
hat
on-
is
that
the
other
reason
that
we
have
this
change
in
demographics,
that
is
going
to
be
with
us
for
a
long
time,
is
the
increase
in
longevity,
and
it's
estimated
that
the
population
of
people
over
85
in
santa
clara
county
is
going
to
increase
by
600
some
percent
in
the
next
40
or
50
years.
So
it's
both
declining
birth
rates
and
people
living
longer
that
have
created
a
semi-permanent
shift
in
our
demographics.
M
So
the
work
on
the
age
friendly
action
plan,
as
I
said
it
began
before
I
got
here.
Unfortunately,
a
lot
of
that
most
of
that
work
was
preserved
and,
and
one
of
the
reasons
this
document
is
so
long
and
I
kind
of
apologize
for
that
and
in
a
perfect
world
I
would
have
created
a
20-page
document,
but
I
really
wanted
to
include
the
work
that
had
been
done
before
the
community
input.
This
is
not
susan
nash's
age,
friendly
action
plan.
M
It's
based
on
both
the
input
from
the
different
departments
that
we'll
get
to,
but
also
the
surveys
that
were
done
in
the
few
years
before
I
got
here.
So
the
one
of
the
main
ways
the
priorities
were
established
and
input
was
received
from
the
community
was
an
age
friendly
community
survey
done
by
santa
clara
county,
but
broken
out
by
city.
So
nearly
600
san
jose
residents
participated
in
that
there
were
prns
conducted
several
focus
groups
to
get
input
and
you'll
see
in
throughout
the
plan.
I've
quoted
some
of
those.
M
The
comments
by
those
participants
prns
in
2018
did
a
health
and
wellness
survey
with
over
500
participants
and
that
again
provided
some
just
some
ways
of
getting
people's
views
on
on
what
they
would
like
to
see.
And
finally,
in
april
of
2019
pr
s
conducted
a
social
isolation
roundtable.
We
can
talk
a
little
more
about
that.
I
know
andre.
I
mentioned
that
at
the
beginning,
in
connection
with
other
efforts,
but
but
addressing
social
isolation
is
obviously
a
key
part
of
an
age-friendly
city.
M
So
those
results
are
all
part
of
this
document
that
you've
hopefully
had
a
chance
to
look
at
and
the
the
organization
I'll
just
speak
very
briefly
about
that.
Both
the
world
health
organization
and
aarp
came
up
with
these
very
connected,
interconnected
areas
in
which
age
friendly
progress
could
be
made.
M
I
will
tell
you
that
they
usually
define
it
in
terms
of
eight
areas.
Some
cities
have
nine,
it's
a
very
loose
template
and
it's
it
so
there's
a
lot
of
flexibility,
there's
guidelines
of
flexibility,
so
it's
kind
of
kind
of
best
of
both
worlds
and
looking
at
where
all
the
priority
priorities
were
based
on
the
input
we
received.
We
came
up
with
these
seven
areas
in
which
we
would
put
our
age
friendly
goals.
M
I'll
say
one
of
the
adjustments
that
has
been
made
by
many
cities
since
the
who
began
its
age
friendly
program
in
2006
is
that
number
four
that
you
see
here.
Communication
and
information
has
now
become
communication,
information
and
technology,
and
I
think
the
reasons
for
that
are
obvious,
but
technology
cuts
across
all
of
these
areas
and
having
a
central
way
to
communicate
with
people
of
all
ages
is
is
critical.
So
that's
how
we've
defined
it
in
the
action
plan
and
then
there's
another
very
large,
bucket
labeled
social
and
civic
engagement.
M
So
social
and
civic
engagement
is
just
a
critical
part
of
this
age-friendly
action
plan
for
all
of
those
reasons,
and
I
think
it's
if
anything
become
even
more
important
given
where
we
are
right
now,
so
this
plan
is
divided
into
these
topics
and
it
summarizes
first
in
each
topic,
what's
being
done
by
departments
and
initiatives
already,
and
that
was
a
really
interesting
exploration,
because
san
jose
is
doing
a
lot
of
really
excuse
me
what
happened
to
my
mouse
there?
We
go
got
ahead
of
myself,
and
here
we
go.
M
M
I'm
not
going
to
try
to
name
all
of
those
things
in
this
brief
presentation.
I've
just
highlighted
a
few
that
I'm
sure
you're
familiar
with
vision,
zero.
Of
course,
with
its
goal
of
zero
fatalities
is,
is
an
age
friendly
effort
by
definition
and
and
including
the
fact
that
the
median
age
for
pedestrian
fatalities
tends
to
range
between
56
and
59,
and
so
it's
it's
obviously
a
a
concern
for
all
ages.
M
Likewise,
the
digital
inclusion
fund,
which
made
its
first
round
of
grants
last
year
and
is
just
one
part
of
the
many
digital
inclusion
initiatives
that
are
going
on
in
the
eoc
and
in
prns,
is
it
was
important
before
I
said,
communication
and
technology
cut
across
all
of
these
areas.
I
I
think
we,
if
anything,
have
just
seen
how
urgent
digital
inclusion
is.
Now,
if
you
can
imagine
being
in
your
70s
or
80s
living
by
yourself
and
being
at
home
without
the
internet,
it
would
make
the
last
six
months
be
pretty
impossible.
M
So
so
the
fact
that
san
jose
was
ahead
of
this
already
is
again
an
indication
of
of
an
age-friendly
environment
that
that
is
in
the
action
plan
and
continuing
those
efforts
are
part
of
that
and
then
finally,
the
the
climate,
smart,
san
jose
initiative
is,
is
to
me
just
such
an
obvious
age-friendly
initiative.
At
the
same
time,
I
think
there's
a
really
strong
argument.
I
was
saying
last
night
to
the
prc
that
I
want
to
write
an
op-ed
on
an
age-friendly
city
being
a
climate-friendly
city
and
vice
versa.
M
If
you
have
a
walkable
city
with
public
transportation
options,
that's
better
for
older
people
and
if
you
have
fewer
emissions
and
a
healthier
environment,
that's
also
good
for
older
people
who
are
the
most
vulnerable
to
climate
disasters
and
and
disease.
So
I
the
fact
that
san
jose
has
already
baked
in
the
climate.
Smart,
smart
movement
is
again,
I
think,
completely
aligned
with
age
friendly
goals.
M
M
So
anyway,
the
age
friendly
website
is,
is
ripe
for
the
development
to
to
make
all
sorts
of
information
available
to
people.
Since
information
is,
you
know
the
key
to
to
action
and
right,
along
with
that
is
bridging
the
other
digital
divide.
I
mean
by
that
I
mean
we're
all
aware
of
the
massive
efforts
that
were
undertaken
when
school
shut
down
and
kids
immediately
needed,
internet
access
and
there's
an
equal
need,
as
I
just
pointed
out,
among
older
people
who
don't
have
it.
M
M
I
will
just
say
that
the
covered
bus,
shelters
and
the
safe
sidewalks
are
are
a
high
high
priority
for
the
senior
commission,
and
we've
heard
a
lot
about
that
in
the
focus
groups
and
then
my
favorite,
my
favorite
suggestion.
I
would
just
say
that
when
I
met
with
these
directors
and
deputy
directors
or
staff
of
different
departments,
I
would
ask
them
what
they
would
like
to
see
in
the
age
friendly
action
plan.
What
was
reasonable
for
their
department
and
what
would
they
suggest?
M
What
should
what
should
say
and
the
planning
department
michael
brio,
whose
name
I
always
butcher,
but
just
had
this
best
idea.
He
said
you
know.
I
I
think,
if
you
really
want
to
look
at
everything
through
an
age-friendly
lens,
that
it
would
make
sense
to
add
design
for
an
age-friendly
city
as
a
strategy
to
envision
san
jose
to
the
general
plan,
just
like
it,
it
has
as
a
strategy
designed
for
a
healthy
city,
so
that's
just
an
example
of
some
of
the
items
that
are
in
there
and
how
how
they
came
to
be
in
there.
M
M
One
idea
that
that
is
has
not
happened
yet,
but
that
is
an
idea
of
what
I
would
call
these
best
practices
is
to
look
into
whether
san
jose
when
the
world
opens
back
up
again,
wants
to
have
a
an
age
friendly
business
certification.
Many
cities
have
done
that
in
the
us.
It's
it's
a
model,
that's
pretty
easy
to
follow
and
it
could
be.
You
would
come
up
with
standards
for
what
that
might
look
like.
It
could
be
something
as
simple
as
a
restaurant.
M
So
that's
an
idea
to
be
looked
at
outreach
to
retired
city
employees
to
come
in
and
provide
needed
help
and
and
their
skills
to
jobs
that
the
city
needs
to
fill
is
already
going
on.
But
it's
the
human
resources
department
is
quite
open
to
to
trying
to
drum
that
up
and
then,
of
course,
the
library
is
doing
amazing
things
and
one
of
their
programs.
That
is
really
interesting.
M
That
they're
looking
to
expand
is
one
that
provides
a
volunteer
opportunity
for
people
from
different
cultural
backgrounds
in
san
jose
to
connect
different
cultures
to
the
library,
and
it
was
very
much
a
pilot
last
year
and
they
are
hoping
to
expand
that
and
that
that
is
the
kind
of
action
item
that
that
fits
into
what
I
was
saying
about.
Connecting
people
giving
older
people
a
really
substantive
way
to
be
involved
in
the
community.
M
N
Good
afternoon,
madam
chair
committee,
members,
thank
you,
susan,
for
wanting
a
great
presentation
and
but
also
all
of
your
hard
work
and
average
kfc
for
the
seniors
and
for
our
many
community
members.
As
we
look
to
the
plan
and
look
to
next
steps
as
we
go
to
implement.
A
couple
of
things
that
we'll
be
focused
on
in
our
first
year
would
be
to
align
age
friendly
action
plan.
With
the
current
senior
commission
work
plan.
N
We've
actually
already
begun
these
efforts
and
working
to
ensure
that
these
two
are
complementary,
so
that
they
help
each
other
in
moving
forward
and
are
successful
in
meeting
many
of
the
action
items
that
have
been
identified
in
the
action
plan,
we'll
also
work
on
updating
our
current
advisory
board.
The
advisory
board,
as
I'm
sure
you
would
assume,
was
established
back
in
17
and
has
some
has
had
some
vacancies
so
we'll
work
to
fill
those
vacancies.
N
So
our
teams
will
keep
this
as
a
high
priority
and
continue
to
focus
on
those
efforts
and
then,
lastly,
our
we
would
propose
that
we
return
annually
to
this
committee.
Provide
updates
on
the
action
plan,
provide
updates
on
where
we're
at
with
those
different
implementation
items
and
gain
your
feedback
and
insight
on
additional
items.
That
might
need
to
be
looked
at
with
that.
That
does
conclude
our
presentation
and
we're
here
to
take
any
questions,
comments
that
you
might
have.
Thank
you.
D
Yes,
the
agenda
had
the
the
link
for
smart
cities.
It
did
not
have
the
link
for
this
meeting.
The
people
who
there
were
several
people
on
using
the
link
I'll
show
you
I'm
going
to
share
my
screen.
Okay,
people
who
are
viewing
by
like
where
is
my
screen
there.
It
is
my
phone
call
people
who
are
who
are
viewing
on
the
civic
center
tv
or
youtube
if
they
want
to
make
a
comment
they
the
phone
number
is
down
here.
D
The
web
id
was
using
the
smart
cities
id
here
those
and
for
those
of
you
who
are
on
you
are
using
this
link.
This
is
the
correct
link.
The
link
down
here
was
incorrect,
so
if
you're
listening
well,
if
you're-
probably
weren't
listening
by
phone
because
you're
able
to
access
it,
but
if
you're
watching
tv-
and
you
want
to
make
a
comment-
please
dial
888-475-4499,
the
webinar
id
is
935-244-1.
D
A
D
B
Hi
I'd
like
to
give
tony
a
big
thanks
every
time,
there's
a
problem
with
zoom
or
the
phone
number
she's
got
to
do
a
lot
of
work
and
it's
always
rectified
rather
quickly,
but
as
residents
as
taxpayers
and
citizens.
We
shouldn't
have
to
deal
with
this,
but
luckily
we
have
somebody
there
at
city
hall,
who
knows
how
to
handle
things
quickly.
I'm
glad
it's,
not
the
city
council,
because
you
better
believe
they've.
Never
let
me
through.
So
I
want
to
thank
tony
again.
I
also
want
to
thank
the
park
service.
B
B
D
B
Money
left,
after
those
guys
take
everything
for
the
pay
and
the
pensions
and
everything
else,
and
then
you're
gonna
want
more
money
and
taxes
to
pay
for
the
parks.
Now
haven't
come
out
of
the
cops
and
firefighter
funds,
they're
they're
they're
millionaires
when
they
retire
it's
the
least
they
could
do.
Maybe
it
would
be
something
they
could
write
off
on
their
taxes
regardless.
B
You
know,
I
don't
think
there
should
be
any
more
taxes
for
parks,
because
today
should
be
able
to
find
money
with
all
the
fees
and
the
fines
and
the
taxes
and
everything
else
you
guys
should
be
able
to
find
money
for
the
park.
What
are
you
guys
good
for
anyway
I'll
tell
you
what?
If
magdalena
carrasco's
parks
weren't
in
good
shape,
we
get
a
five-hour
lecture
on
on
how
p
people
of
color
don't
have
a
decent
park
to
go
to.
So
you
know
what
pretend
it's
magdalena
carrasco's
park
and
it'll
be.
B
D
D
A
K
Thank
you
miss
arenas,
so
my
name
is
beatriz
lizola.
I
live
in
eastside
san
jose.
I
just
wanted
to
share
my
experience
when
it
came
to
you
know
what
you
touched
on,
which
was
declining
enrollment,
so
my
daughter
turned
seven
on
I'm
sorry.
She
turned
five
january.
Seventh.
The
cut
off
time
apparently
for
tk
was
just.
A
I
I'm
so
sorry
to
interrupt
you.
I
apologize.
We
did
move
on
from
that
item,
but
I'm
we're
more
than
happy
to
hear
you
your
thoughts
in
open
forum,
if
you
would
be
really
kind
to
wait
for
us
we're
on
the
age
friendly
action
work
plan,
and
so,
if
you
like
to
comment
about
that,
we
can
restart
your
your
time.
A
I
Hi,
thank
you
for
the
meeting
today.
Thank
you
to
tony
for
reading
out
the
the
web
number
to
to
call
she.
She
put
it
on
the
screen,
but
it
was
a
little
bit
difficult
to
read
and
that
she
read
out
the
number.
Thank
you.
You
know
to
to
have
a
public
comment
at
this
time,
better
late
than
never.
Thank
you.
I
I
I
wanted
to
offer
to
also
to
the
first
person
who
spoke
today
that
you
know
we're
going
to
go
through
a
kind
of
a
difficult
month
here
in
october,
and
I
I
you
know
with
the
fall
election
coming
up
and
everything
coming
up.
We
kind
of
want
to
be
working
like
on
our
best
behavior
and
our
good
practices.
I
So
I
hope
you
can
like
really
learn
to
speak.
You
know
he
doesn't
have
to
cuss
everything
out.
He
he
can
have
his
opinions
about
things,
but
he
doesn't
have
to
do
it
so
violently
and
strongly
and
with
so
many
you
know,
you
know
words
that
are
really
uncomfortable
and
I
hope
he
can
take
that
lesson
to
heart
and
good
luck
with
your
meeting
today
and
yeah
sorry
for
whatever
problems.
I
caused
yesterday,
I
hope
we
can
work
on
those
issues
as
well
this
month
and
thank.
I
A
J
Thank
you
for
saying.
You
know
it's
amazing.
We
actually
get
any
work
done
this
way
frankly,
but
it's
what
we
have
so
we
do.
I
first
just
to
echo
tone
errors.
Thank
tony
tony
as
soon
as
I
texted
you
that
we
were
having
difficulty
getting
access
for
members
of
the
public
you
jumped
in
and
resolved
it
as
quickly
as
you
could.
So
I
truly
appreciate
that
and
then
also
emailing
the
residents
to
make
sure
they
have
the
information
they
need.
So
thank
you
very
much.
J
Also
susan.
I
am
so
exci,
susan
and
andre,
I'm
so
excited
to
see
this
age-friendly
initiative
come
forward
and
and
continue
on.
I
should
say
I've
been
very
concerned
about
our
seniors
and
how
they
are
dealing
in
terms
of
covet
and
the
shelter
in
place.
So
it's
so
exciting
to
see
that
we
have
steps
in
place
that
we've
had
that
we're
also
continuing
to
move
forward
and
making
sure
that
this
city
is
friendly
and
accessible
to
every
for
everyone
from
birth.
J
To
a
hundred-
and
I
I
I
just
wanna
echo-
how
vibrant
many
of
these
older
citizens
are.
I
had
a
conversation
today
with
a
resident
who's,
90
years
old,
who
wants
to
honor
hud
her
dad,
who
would
have
been
128,
but
she
has
a
very
strong
memory
and
love,
of
course,
for
her,
her
father
and
she
wants
to
share
with
us
all
of
what
he
has
to
did
in
the
the
legacy
that
he
led.
J
But
the
reason
I
mention
her
and
others
that
we
know
who
are
older
is
they
have
so
much
to
give.
She
used
the
term
fun
many
times
in
her
conversation
with
me
today,
and
I
could
tell
by
the
passion
in
her
voice
that
this
90
year
old
woman
was
a
lot
of
fun,
and
I
bet
when
she
was
a
mom.
She
had
10
kids,
10,
kids,
31,
grandkids,
33,
great
grandkids,
married
72
years
to
her
husband,
still
he's
still
alive,
they're
all
still
alive
and
healthy.
J
Isn't
that
remarkable,
so
the
energy,
the
knowledge,
the
awareness,
the?
What
we
can
learn
from
these
people
is
so
important
and
we
should
not
lose
it.
Our
young
people
would
benefit
by
creating
a
connectivity
between
our
older
folks
and
our
younger
folks.
It
not
only
makes
the
younger
folks
feel
that
someone
loves
them.
Someone
cares
about
them,
but
it
does
the
same
thing
for
our
older
folks,
too.
Our
older
folks
need
to
feel
vibrant.
They
need
to
feel
like
they're,
giving
back.
They
need
to
feel
loved
and
connected.
J
So
now
that
I've
had
it
replaced,
I
feel,
like
a
whole
different
person,
but
every
day
our
senior
citizens
live
with
pain
and
pain
that
they've
even
either
resolved
or
that
they
continue
to
live.
But
we
need
to
make
the
city
accessible
from
their
pedestrian
standpoint,
but
also
from
their
mind.
We
need
to
continue
to
keep
their
mind
and
body
strong,
so
I'm
I'm
obviously
I'm
very
passionate
about
this
issue.
J
This
is
one
of
the
policy
areas
that
that
my
council
office
is
focused
on,
is
is
seniors
and
how
to
create
a
more
active,
vibrant
life
for
them
and
protect
them
in
many
ways
too,
from
scams
and
other
things
that
are
occurring.
I
have
a
question
for
you
about
granny
parks,
though
in
the
survey
it
mentions
something
that
we
should
have
granny
parks
have
we
considered,
we
have
dog
parks
and
we
have
kitty
parks.
Have
we
and
we
have
accessible
handicap
accessible
parks
as
well?
Do
we
have
any
consideration
for
granny
parks.
M
I
will
say
just
from
the
action
plan
standpoint
that
is
one
of
the
items
is
to
research,
the
feasibility
of
it,
I'm
I'm
not
going
to
since
I'm
on
my
way
out,
I'm
not
going
to
speak
for
park
and
rex
and
what
they're
actually
going
to
do,
except
to
say
that
if
you
want
to
see
some
really
cool
pictures
of
granny
parks,
bilbao
in
spain
has
got,
has
got
a
really
good
one
going
and
there's
one
in
wichita,
kansas
and
and
they're
they're
really
cropping
up
all
over
the
place.
So.
B
L
L
You
know,
lift
and
continue
to
use
the
vibrancy
of
our
older
adult
population
to
inspire
and
engage
with
our
younger
folks,
and
I
will
say
earlier
when
john
and
I
were
meeting
with
our
our
rock
program
right
now.
Currently,
we
are
having
we're
trying
to
continue
some
of
our
gen
to
gen
efforts,
for
example
at
variesa,
and
hopefully
we're
going
to
be
doing
that
across
all
of
our
programs,
so
that
we
don't
lose
even
in
these
difficult
times.
We
don't
lose
the
gen
to
gen
efforts,
but
we'll
be
reporting
back
and
granny
parks.
J
Great,
when
we're
looking
at
the
gentigen
program
take
a
look
at
the
demographics
of
our
aging
populations
and
where
they
reside
and
make
sure
that
we
have
programs,
gen,
degen
programs
all
over
the
district
and
because
looking
at
district
9,
I
consider
it
and
some
district
9
residents
aren't
going
to
accept
this
of
an
older
population.
So
there
might
be
a
good
target
population
within
d9
that
could
benefit
or
could
help
contribute
to
that
program
as
well.
You
really
touched
on
so
much
that
I
wanted
to
mention.
J
One
thing
I
did
notice
is
the
up
the
website
and
the
upgrades,
but
just
a
concern
that
we
depend
very
often
on
technology
as
a
way
of
communicating
with
people
and
our
seniors
may
have,
unless
they
have
a
young
person
around
a
millennial
or
younger
who
can
help
them
with
technology.
It's
not
that
easy
for
them.
So
we
need
to
make
sure
that
we're
not
just
depending
on
technology
to
reach
out
to
these
folks,
but
we
depend
on
old-fashioned
methods
like
paper
and
mail
and
and
even
phone
calls
black
phone
black.
J
The
last
phone
calls
to
their
landlines
might
be
beneficial
too.
To
give
them
a
heads
up
about
various
programs
that
we
have
so
that
just
a
caution
to
not
depend
only
on
social
media
or
email
or
internet
or
wi-fi
or
technology,
as
a
way
to
connect
these
folks
have
a
fear
of
technology.
Not
all
some
are
really
sad.
Some
are
way
more
savvy
than
I
and
I'm
not
very
savvy.
So
it's
you
know
some
are
really
there,
but
many
of
them
are
not.
Many
of
them
are
intimidated
by
it.
J
I
actually
think
that
was
it.
I
just
want
to
praise
you
for
the
work
that
you've
done
so
far
far
encourage
you
to
take
it
as
far
as
you
possibly
can.
These
are
people
who
can
definitely
contribute
to
our
society
and
want
to,
and
this
will
help
their
isolation.
It
will
help
us
feel
better
about
about
everything
that
we
can
learn
from
the
stories
they
can
tell.
J
J
A
D
Thank
you,
and
it
was
great
to
first
off
presentation-
was
awesome.
I
think
it's
a
really
exciting
topic
and
I
love
the
tagline
of
designing
for
an
age-friendly
city
when,
in
a
previous
life
it
was
part
of
the
county's
senior
agenda
and
there
was
a
lot
of
discussion
saying
that
you
know
if
you
design
something
for
you,
know
children
or
seniors
you're,
making
everybody
safer
right,
and
it's
that
whole
idea
that
we're
making
everyone
in
our
communities
safer
and
but
I
had
a
question
about
the
gendagen
with.
D
L
Well,
I'll
touch
on
that
for
a
minute
and
jeremy.
I
don't
know
if
you
want
to
jump
in,
but
prior
to
covid,
we
were
doing
a
significant
amount
of
gen
to
gen
work
through
camps
through
after
school
and
many
times.
We
would
pair
it
with
the
folks
that
were
involved
in
either
our
senior
nutrition
program.
L
So
we
were
kind
of
we
were
using
the
community
center
as
a
place
to
link
what
had
once
been
sort
of
siloed
programs
and
linking
those
groups
together,
whether
it
be
making
sure
that
our
seniors,
we
timed
like
preschool
graduation
so
that
our
seniors
could
could
join
and
see
their
community
little
ones
you
know
promote.
So
there
are
all
sorts
of
opportunities
right
now,
it's
more
about
writing
letters,
kind
of
doing
things
where
they're
not
in
person
but
making
sure
that
they
have
that
they're
still
communicating
with
one
another.
L
So
in
terms
of
and
everything's
really
shifted
right.
It's
it's
shifted
back
and
really
I'd
say
in
the
last
month,
or
so
we're
trying
to
again
sort
of
reinstitute
sort
of
the
continuity
of
our
services
before
and
really
think
about.
What
does
gen
to
jen?
Look
like
in
this
sort
of
you
know
red
and
orange
stage.
So
at
this
point
I
would
say
it's
pretty
minimal,
but
we
are
definitely
looking
to
see
how
we
can
bring
it
back
and
be
really
intentional
about
it.
M
Okay,
can
I
just
jump
in
and
add
something
on
that,
the
the
encore.org,
which
is
what's
the
organization
that
sponsors
my
fellowship,
that
allowed
me
to
be
with
the
city
for
a
year?
They
did
a
report
on
intergenerational
engagement
last
year
and
they
featured
four
cities
as
leading
the
way
and
that
and
san
jose
was
prominent
in
that
report
and
the
mayor
wrote
the
forward,
and
that
was
based
on
the
work
that
had
been
going
on
in
prns
cooking
classes
and
other
kinds
of
intergenerational
engagement.
M
So
there
was
a
huge
amount
of
momentum
like
everything
else.
You
know
we
are
where
we
are,
but
but
I
I
do
think
that
the
city
already
has
a
leg
up
by
being
featured
in
that
report,
and
it's
and
I've
seen
how
committed
the
team
is
to
to
for
to
continuing
that.
I
just
thought
you
you
might
want
to
know
about
that
report.
If
you
haven't
seen
it.
Thank
you.
Yeah.
D
And
I'm
familiar
with
uikai
and
poso,
it's
some
of
the
things
that
have
been
going
on
for
a
while,
but
a
little
less
familiar
with
some
of
this,
which
I
I
love
personally
love.
It.
I've
been
out
at
sort
of
on
the
nonprofit
sector,
seeing
intergenerational
activities
and
it's
an
amazing
thing
to
witness.
So
I'm
a
fan.
D
M
Do
you
want
so
I'll
I'll?
Take
the
first
part
of
that
at
least
diana
miller
was
probably
the
second
person
I
met
outside
of
prns
when
I
started
at
the
city
a
year
ago,
we
have
been
in
almost
constant
contact,
including
this
morning,
because
I'm
on
a
work
group,
partly
through
this
age-friendly
work
and
partly
through
the
center
on
longevity
stuff,
on
digital
inclusion,
that
is
county-wide.
M
She
has
sponsored
a
number
of
age-friendly
summits
and
events
throughout
the
year
and
I
would
she's
if
you
look
at
their
action
plan
and
our
action
plan,
I
did
shamelessly
copy
some
of
her
graphics
and
and
vice
versa.
So
so
it's
it's
been
a
very,
very
good
partnership.
She
sits
on
the
age
friendly
advisory
council
for
the
city
of
san
jose,
so
I
would,
although
I'm
I'm
gonna,
stop
talking
because
I'm
on
my
way
out,
but
I
will
say
that
up
until
this
point,
we've
worked
very
closely
together.
M
N
And
just
to
add
councilmember
esparza,
we
will
continue
those
efforts.
We
really
value
our
partnership
with
the
county.
We've
attended
many
of
their
agenda
services
at
different
meetings,
all
their
summit
activities,
and
we
will
continue
those
efforts
to
see
about
how
we
can
work
collaboratively
in
supporting
both
of
our
agendas
and
moving
these
items
forward,
and
I
just
wanted
to
regress
just
a
tiny
bit
on
our
agenda.
N
We
were
also
in
the
development
of
working
with
our
team
centers,
given
their
passion
for
technology
and
actually
help
using
and
having
our
teams,
help
educate
our
seniors
on
social
media,
how
to
log
into
email
that
was
definitely
in
the
preliminary
phases
and
did
have
to
be
put
on
hold.
But
I
know
our
team
is
very
excited
to
bring
many
of
those
things
back
in
as
soon
as
we
get
that
opportunity.
D
Cool
and
that
would
be
like
a
great
little
sort
of
tech
support
army
for
our
seniors
as
we
go
through
comed.
That's
awesome
because
there
is
a
huge
online
component
right
now.
I
know
I
I'm
a
former
caregiver.
I
took
a
couple
of
years
off
and
actually
moved
in
with
my
mother
to
take
care
of
her
full-time
and-
and
so
you
know,
kind
of,
went
through
a
lot
of
these
challenges
together
with
her
and
so
some
of
the
things
that
she
does
as
part
of
her
her
mobility
classes.
D
D
You
know
picking
the
apple
and
picking
the
sock
off
the
floor
and
all
that
kind
of
fun
stuff,
but
but
that's
that
online
component
is
really
really
important
and
so
having
those
teens
be
that
tech
support
army
as
part
of
our
digital
work
on
the
digital
divide,
having
wi-fi
small
cell
towers,
build
outs
that
we're
doing
for
the
little
ones
who
are
learning
online.
These
are
also
important
tools
for
our
seniors
in
our
neighborhoods,
as
this
programming
goes
online.
D
So
I
just
wanted
to
kind
of
bring
out
that.
How
important
that
online
component
is,
I
know
not.
I
definitely
know
not.
Everybody
is
online,
but
I
was
very
surprised
at
how
some
of
the
mobility
classes
went
online
and
and
a
lot
of
it
has
it's
turned
into
you
know,
honestly
part
of
it.
Is
that
that
what
is
it?
What
do
you
call
it?
Social
emotional
support?
D
There
are
a
lot
of
different
components
to
age-friendly
businesses
and
certain
different
types
of
certifications
out
there
that
all
kind
of
relate
to
this
issue.
I
think
it's
a
huge
opportunity
for
the
city,
particularly
as
we
do
have
some
propositions
before
us,
that
if
they
do
pass,
people
will
be
able
to
downsize
without
having
tax
burdens.
So
so
it
would
be
interesting
to
see
if
we
had
more
information
within
our
county
and
our
city
on
those
kind
of
kinds
of
opportunities,
and
that's
it
I'll
stop
talking
now
great
job.
Thank
you.
A
Thank
you
councilmember,
and
thank
you
for
sharing
your
experience
and
caregiving.
I
know
it's
a
tough
decision
to
be
in
and
there's
many
of
us
who
I
I
also
my
my
dad
lived
with
me
for
his
last
four
years
of
his
life
and
we
all
really
understand
some
of
the
challenges
of
isolation,
especially
if
your
mother
passes
away
before
your
father
and
typically
females
are
the
source
of
social
circles.
A
If
you
will,
and
so
isolation
is
really
prominent
among
a
lot
of
our
seniors,
and
with
that
in
mind,
I
was
I
was
thinking
about
how
we
are
pivoting.
I
know
that
there
was
a
slide
that
said
that
we
were
going
to
align
our
current
efforts,
our
pandemic
efforts
with
with
with
with
the
long-term
work
plan
for
for
the
strategy,
but
how?
A
What
what
time
frame
are
we
talking
about,
because
I
don't
know
if
I
know
that
we
are
moving
we're
pivoting
as
quickly
as
we
can
in
terms
of
of
what
we
can
do.
You've
done
some
online
classes
for
for
our
seniors,
but
this
action
plan
and
our
work
to
pivot
is
essential.
So
so
how?
How
quickly
will
we
be
able
to
adapt
and
align
our
efforts
that
we
are
taking
that
that
are
taking
place
now
and
and
in
this
work
plan.
L
So
a
couple
couple
things
in
terms
of
the
work
plan:
we're
gonna
need
to
coordinate
again
with
about
nine
departments
on
sort
of
prioritizing
and,
as
susan
pointed
out,
a
lot
of
these
things
were
existing
right.
So
I
think
digital
inclusion
fund
is
one
of
those
that,
I
think
is
it's
in
the
pipeline.
It
is
being
a
it's
a
priority
right.
We've
got
a
lot
of
a
lot
of
pieces
of
that
that
we're
moving
forward.
So
there's
alignment
there.
L
I
would
say
in
terms
of
kind
of
the
broader
picture
of
the,
and
I
think,
if
you
might
be
talking
about
like
sort
of
the
eoc
work,
we
have
some
work
to
do
in
in
terms
of
moving
into
a
broader
understanding
of
how
we
get
at
isolation
again,
city-wide
to
our
most
vulnerable
understanding
where
they
are
and
how,
with
our
partners
and
through
again
sort
of
red
to
orange
and
and
beyond.
What
is
it
that
we
can
do
from
a
feasibility
standpoint
and
a
resource
standpoint?
L
But
we
are
we're
focused
on
developing
that
plan
and
reporting
back
and
then
I
think,
there's
just
other
alignments
right,
like
the
senior
commission
has
had
some
priorities.
How
do
we
align
with
that?
So
I
think
there's
a
lot
of
work
to
do.
We
will
be
working
with
our
department
partners
to
understand
where
the
low-hanging
fruit
is
right.
What
do
we?
What
do
we?
What
can
we
see
progress
on
in
the
short
term
and
what
are
those
other
kind
of
council
priorities
that
would
need
more
resources
or
attention.
A
There
was
an
exodus
of
families
and
we
see
assad
in
the
enrollment
overall
enrollment
across
our
city,
for
schools
and
and-
and
I
think
there
hasn't
been
a
lot
of
changes
in
terms
of
that
family
arrangement.
If
you
will-
and
so
so,
I
think
there
there's
a
lot
of
work,
there's
different
generations
that
we
can
really
build
into
this.
A
I'm
glad
that
we're
thinking
about
how
to
how
to
bring
things
into
fruition
and
and
work
with
some
of
the
easiest
things
that
we
have
and
and
maybe
how
to
time
things
and
right
now,
vta
is
developing
their
work
plan
for
2021,
and
I
know
that
our
seniors
are
are
good
part
of
our
our
transportation,
public
transportation,
consumers.
And
so
I
wonder
if
we
are
coordinating
or
participating
in
that
in
the
in
that
work
plan.
L
M
L
M
A
I
don't
I
don't
doubt
it
susan
and
I'm
sorry
to
see
you
go
and
and
how
quickly
their
the
turnover
is
for
these
wonderful
fellows
who
come
into
our
age
friendly
initiative,
and
it
just
seems
like
in
a
blink
of
an
eye
and
and
then
we're
we're
off
to
to
another
fellow,
but
with
that
comes
a
lot
of
wonderful
ideas
and
passion
and
a
different
perspective.
So
I
thank
you
for
your
service
that
has
allowed
us
to
to
really
enrich
our
work
plan.
So
thank
you.
Thank
you,
susan.
A
I
s
you
know,
and
I
speak
from
ex
from
I
think
it
was
about
two
years
ago
when,
when
vta
was
reducing
some
of
their
bus
lines
and
they
reduced
some
of
the
best
lines
around
welch
community
center,
the
south
of
tully
and
king
and-
and
there
was
a
lot
of
folks
who
came
to
the
neighborhood
association
and
said
you
know-
they're
not
going
to
their
community
center
anymore
because
they
don't
know.
You
know,
since
this
bus
didn't
stop
in
front
of
what
they
normally
saw,
the
bus
stop.
A
They
just
were
trying
to
have
an
alternative
to
get
to.
Actually
they
were
going
to
council
member
carrasco's
district
because
there
were
some,
I
think
some
salsa
classes
that
that
they
were
really
interested
in,
and
so
I
just
thought
what
what
a
fail
this
was,
and
so
we
we
we
talked
to
this
particular
gentleman,
but
he
you
know
he
would
engage
a
lot
of
the
other
older
community
in
in,
in
that
particular
neighborhood
to
to
be
a
dance
partner.
A
You
know
it
was
it's
a
long
street,
but
still
he
just
needs
to
cross
over
on
quindy
and
then
there
he
is
at
eastridge
and
go
to
the
other
side
of
easter
edge
and
there's
a
transit
center
there.
But
but
change
is
difficult
right
when,
when
you're
used
to
something
and
then
if
nobody
explains
it
to
you
or
there
isn't
any
you
know
warm
handoff,
we
can
contribute
inadvertently
to
the
deepening
that
isolation
for
a
lot
of
our
community.
A
And
so
I
just
think
you
know
the
vta
decisions
that
are
going
to
be
made
in
this
upcoming
year
are
going
to
be
just
absolutely
crucial
for
all
of
our
community,
not
not
only
our
our
older
community,
but
every
age
group.
Certainly
our
older
community
are,
you
know,
we're
mainly
focused
on
them
and
thinking
about
that
and
in
in
order
for
that
not
to
happen.
A
I
think
we
need
to
also
take
a
look
at
how
our
seeing
our
community
centers
and
our
libraries
how
the
the
bus
lines
are
matching
with
some
of
the
lunch
hour
times,
and
here
in
evergreen,
we
have
a
very
predominant
senior
center.
If
you
will,
within
the
our
community
center
there's
a
lot
of
classes
that
they're
just
focused
on
our
seniors
and
focus
on
our
children.
Those
are
the
two
demographics
that
they
mainly
focus
classes
on
and
a
lot
of
them
said
you
know
they.
A
They
couldn't
really
stay
and
talk
with
folks,
because
they
had
to
quickly
just
get
the
food
from
the
food
distribution
and
meet
at
the
bus
stop
in
front
of
the
community
center
and
they
missed
some
of
that
socializing
because
of
the
of
the
the
bus
line,
route
right
and
the
timing,
and
so
so
in
order
for
them
not
to
miss
a
bus
and
have
to
wait
a
whole
other.
I
don't
know
whatever
it
was
hour
or
so
they
instead
just
forward
some
of
that
socializing,
and
so
I
think,
there's
there's
some
possibilities.
A
There's
that
we
have
the
capacity
to
maybe
change
some
of
our
programming
versus
maybe
changing
bta's
bus
line
schedules.
I
see
that
maybe
as
an
uphill
battle,
unless
we
participate
in
this
work
plan
right
and
for
them
to
consider
and
consider
us
as
a
partner
when
they're
making
these
these
changes
into
their
lines.
L
So
we
have
noticed
that
vta
decisions
have
a
great
they
can,
they
can
disrupt
our
programming
and
they
can
disrupt
sort
of
people
who
really
rely
on
community
center
participation,
and
I
think
grace
is
a
very
unique
and
I
need
community,
and
so
that
was
that
was
really
tough
for
our
community.
So
I
just
wanted
to
share
that.
We've
had
that
experience
and
we
make
sure
that
our
members
know
where
they
can
voice
their
opinions
about
those
kind
of
disruptions.
A
A
E
However,
for
for
starters,
what
we're
looking
at
is,
as
as
the
first
starting
point
is
looking
at
existing
work
plans
and
strategies
that
each
department
has
so,
for
example,
pns
just
last
year
you
approve
the
activate
sj
plan
right,
so
that
plan
will
be
looked
at
and
reviewed
through
a
race
and
equity
lens
right
and
then
to
your
earlier
point.
It
can
also
be
viewed
through
an
age
friendly
lens
and
a
family-friendly,
friendly
lens
right
and
then
so.
E
Our
goal
internally
is
going
to
be
to
really
kind
of
you
know,
synthesize
those
together
and
really
identify
those
points
of
intersect
and
by
applying
those
various
lenses.
Then
then,
that
tr,
you
know
that'll
translate
into
actionable
items
that
will
then
be
incorporated
in
each
department's
work
plan
and
then
and
then
the
goal
would
be
for
each
department
to
then
drive
and
implement
those
plans
based
on
input.
That
is
informed
by,
for
example,
race
and
equity,
age
friendly
family
friendly
as
an
example
right.
So
that's
our
preliminary
thinking.
A
Yeah
I
know
I
I
appreciate
that
and
and
where
we
we
are
going
through.
Also
some
changes
internally
and
and
there
are
good
changes,
but
but
these
changes
require
a
lot
of
work,
a
lot
of
really
thoughtful
attention
in
terms
of
how
we're
going
to
integrate
this,
and
so
I
I'm
absolutely,
I
I
have
the
faith
that
you
will.
A
I
live
right
next
door
to
them.
The
villages
were
crying
out
loud.
It
is
one
of
those
days,
councilmember
foley,
oh
my
gosh,
so
so
they
have
wonderful,
open
space.
You
know
they
address
their
mobility
with
you
know
these
little
golf
carts.
They
have
a
golf
course
on
there.
They
have
bocce
balls.
I
mean
you
name
it.
I
wanna
I
wanna
live
there.
A
But
I
would
say
that
is
not
so
now,
and
so,
if
we
bring
together
between
generations,
we
really
have
to
take
a
look
at
some
of
those
older
adults
who
are
not
that
easily
accessible
and
and
how
do
we
build
outreach
strategies
to
those
folks
and-
and
you
know,
and
how
do
we
reach
them
do
do
we?
You
know,
use
more
traditional
mail
phone
calls.
A
And
so
my
challenge
would
to
you
would
all
be
to
to
really
dig
in
and
see.
How
can
we
really
incorporate
some
ongoing
strategies
and
and
going
to
maybe
places
where,
where
seniors
already
congregate-
and
I
don't
know
if
you
remember
this
angel
but-
and
I
know
that
this
strategy
was
put
on
hold
a
bit,
but
we
you
know-
I
partially
funded
with
first
five,
a
a
specialist
that
would
go
out
to
eastridge
and
produce
some
programming
that
would
incorporate
grandparents.
Who
were
you
know,
because
this
is.
A
A
You
know,
I
know
that
it
weighs
heavy
on
your
minds
as
well
in
in
terms
of
supporting
our
senior
citizens,
but
definitely
those
who
are
most
hardest
to
reach.
You
know
everybody
suffers
from
isolation,
I'm
not
going
to
say
that
it's
based
on
economic
status,
but
sometimes
poverty,
does
create
an
additional
barrier
for
some
of
our
senior
citizens
and
I'd
like
to
see
that
incorporated
into
our
work
plan.
E
Yeah-
and
I
absolutely
that's,
definitely
going
to
be
top
of
mind
and
again
we
you
know
in
this
coveted
response.
You
know
we
have
seen
significant
increases
in
outreach
to
seniors
through
our
food
distribution.
You
know,
networks
and
I
think,
tapping
into
that
infrastructure
and
even
tap
it
into
that
service,
so
that
you
know
kind
of
you
know
for
lack
of
a
better
term,
they're
kind
of
like
interceptor
opportunities
right.
E
It's
like
they
come
for
food,
but
it
also
gives
us
an
opportunity
to
also
engage
in
and
connect
them
to
other
resources
right,
and
so
that's
what
I
meant
by
you
know.
You
know
our
challenge
and
opportunity
internally
is
going
to
be
to
really
connect
the
dots,
not
only
within
the
department
but
across
the
city
across
across
departments
to
to
better
serve.
You
know,
you
know
our
our
our
elderly
community
and
I
used
to
know
the
appropriate
term.
E
H
H
E
Yeah
that
that
would
be
me
too
so
yeah,
but
but
but
I
think
this
is
a
real
rich
conversation,
because
this
really
and
it's
a
very
timely
one,
because
these
are
exactly
the
issues
that
we're
trying
to
really
kind
of
you
know
vet
and
then
prioritize,
because,
ultimately,
you
know
with
so
many
competing
interests
right
now.
We
got
to
really
be
clear
and
focused
and
disciplined
about
what
we
do,
and
so
I
think
the
age
friendly
strategy,
the
activated
sj
strategy,
the
family
friendly.
You
know
all
those
are
strategies
that
that
can
help
us.
A
E
A
C
E
So
I
I
think
what
we
can
do
with
that.
If,
if
this
is
what
the
committee
wants
is,
is
you
know,
there's
a
cross-reference
to
the
council
on
this
report
and
then
what
we
could
do
is
take
the
recommendation
to
add
a
family-friendly
item
on
the
work
plan
for
nsc,
and
that
way
we
could
kind
of
connect
the
two
if
that
works.
You
know
that's
something
that
perhaps
we
can
we
can
do.
A
J
L
J
D
A
I'm
so
sorry
all
right,
so
we
are
at
almost
at
the
end
of
our
meeting,
and
this
is
open
forum,
and
I
think
we
have
one
definitely
one
speaker
that
one.
I
think
that
was
beatrice.
I
think
that
might
have
been
who
wanted
to
speak.
So
I
encourage
you
to
please
raise
your
hand.
Okay,
wonderful,
go
ahead!
Beatrice
you're,
gonna,
mute
yourself
and
begin
your
comments.
K
Thank
you
miss.
I
just
wanted
to
touch
on
my
experience
when
it
came
to
the
enrollment
of
my
daughter's
transitional
kindergarten.
So-
and
you
know
this
is
probably
I
don't
know
how
many
of
the
700
kids
that
you
had
mentioned
were
affected
by
this,
but
so
she
turned
five
on
january.
7Th.
The
cut
off
time
for
tk
was
the
second,
so
I
asked
for
an
exception.
I
asked
if
the
class
didn't
fill
you
know.
Can
I
bring
her
in?
I
pretty
much
feel
like
it
was
a
black
and
white
process.
K
K
Maybe
those
guidelines
need
to
be
revised
and
then,
when
it
comes
to
this
committee-
and
you
know
what
what
your
job
is,
is
to
really
provide
lifelong
education,
but
I
feel
like
the
last
couple
times
I've
been
on
these
calls
and
I
think
I
started
sometime
last
year.
I
haven't
really
heard
anything
specific
when
it
comes
to
education
living
in
the
east
side,
I
have
two
kids
enrolled
in
overfelt
high
school
I've
been
working
very
closely
with
vito
chiala,
which
I
know
you're
familiar
with
he's
a
great
person.
K
K
So
you
know
if
you
and
I
believe
miss
carrasco
is
who
represents?
You
know
the
part
of
my
city.
I
mean
I
would
really
appreciate
it
if
you
reached
out
to
vito
and-
and
you
can
just
hear,
what's
going
to
happen
next
year.
You
know,
I
know
it's
covert,
so
it
may
be
a
little
different,
but
it's
very
heartbreaking
when
it
comes
to
you
know
these
marginalized
communities.
Thank
you.
So
much
for
your
time.
A
Thank
you,
miss
lazaola,
and
I
just
want
to
quickly
comment
before
the
next
speaker
is
that
our
our
funding
is
really
works
parallel
with
one
another,
although
we
have
been
working
with
our
school
districts
to
enhance
some
of
after-school
programs,
our
recreation
program,
certainly
our
library
has
a
lot
of
programming
that
adds
great
value
to
our
students,
education.
They
also
have
opportunities
for
for
folks
to
finish
high
school
diploma
in
some
alternatives.
A
I
A
I
I
I
Very
nice
of
you,
thank
you.
I
I
wanted
to
offer
quickly
and
just
make
it
quick
that
the
work
of
the
housing
department
in
2014
and
15,
you
know
they
wanted
to
really
work
with
the
downtown
area,
and
I
I
don't
know
I
just
thought
it
seemed
appropriate
to
mention
it
at
this
time
as
an
idea,
if
whatever
the
housing
department
is
working
on
with
the
downtown
area,
can
help
the
parks
department.
I
In
the
first
item,
you
guys
know
my
feelings
about
open
public
policy
ideas,
and
I
I
just
really
hope
that
you
know
open
public
policy
with
technology
is
the
ideas
of
civil
rights
and
civil
protections,
and
just
you
know
I
those
ways
can
invite.
You
know
both
kids
and
older
people
to
the
ideas
of
tech.
I
think
very
well
and
it
invites
community
spirit.
It
invites
how
to
be.
You
know
a
good
part
of
the
community
and
I
think
it
can
help
the
age
issues
you're
talking
about
with
technology.
A
B
Compliments
once
again
a
big
thanks
to
tony
tabor.
Today
she
does
great
work.
I
I
wish
she
was
in
charge
of
paving
the
roads.
He
wouldn't
have
any
problems
with
potholes
and
everything
and
the
rough
roads
that
haven't
been
paid
for
many
many
years.
At
the
same
time,
this
city
wants
to
build
new
villages.
B
I
I
vote
known
any
on
any
villages.
At
the
same
time,
I
hope
they
get
built.
So
I
could
so.
I
could
tell
you
how
terrible
they
were
going
to
be
and
they
will
be.
They
won't
be
done
right,
they'll
be
done
as
chintzy
as
you
could
believe.
Just
like
our
road
repairs,
just
like
our
city
infrastructure.
That
doesn't
work
very
well
like
the
micro
grids
with
the
solar
panels
and
everything
else.
It's
a
disgrace.
B
People
complain
about
broadband
access.
We
pay
plenty
for
broadband
and
we're
one
or
two
miles
away
from
fiber
optics.
So
we
have
super
slow
internet
and
we
paid
dearly
for
it.
Meanwhile,
the
city
wants
to
make
sure
that
people
get
it
for
free
or
very
low
cost.
We
probably
would
probably
have
better
broadband
than
what
I
pay
for,
which
is
a
lot
per
month.
B
It's
a
disgrace.
Pg
e,
any
of
the
utilities
just
completely
take
advantage
of
the
residents
in
this
city
because
they
realize
we
have
no
representation.
The
city
doesn't
care,
they
want
to
build
villages.
I
mean
think
about
that.
A
village.
Are
you
kidding
me
this?
Isn't
this
isn't
like
europe?
In
the
1300s
I
mean.
Who
are
you
people?
You
want
to
get
the
road
diets.
