A
A
B
B
Are
feeling
better?
We
know
you
know,
I
haven't
had
a
chance
to
speak
with
councilmember
adenas.
I
did
see
her
post
and
she's
one
of
our
now
she's,
going
to
be
one
of
our
statistics
that
the
county's
going
to
be
reporting
on.
She
came
down
with
kobet
and
she's.
Let
me
just
tell
you:
she's
been
very
careful.
B
I've
been
keeping
track
and
we've
been
talking
quite
a
bit
since
since
march,
and
since
all
of
this
started,
because
she
has
also
her
mother-in-law,
who's,
elderly,
and
so
she
was
especially
careful,
and
so
there
you
go.
We
don't
know
where
we
get
it
from,
and
and
so
I
hope
that
she,
if
she's
listening
and
I
hope,
she's
not
listening.
Actually,
I
hope,
she's,
sleeping
and
and
taking
care
of
herself,
but
so
you
all
are
gonna
have
to
help
me
out
here
a
little
bit,
because
I
don't.
B
I
don't
have
the
the
guide
that
she
usually
has,
but
but
we'll
carry
on
team.
D
We
will
definitely
help
you
out
and
yeah.
We
definitely
wish
councilmember
then
as
well
and
so
kind
of
the
first
item
would
be
calling
the
meeting
to
order
and
we
could
have
somebody
from
the
city
clerk's
office.
Do
roll
call?
Yes,.
G
D
Okay,
great
yeah
and
the
first
action
vice
chair
is:
we
have
three
items
that
are:
are
being
dropped,
one
was
dropped.
The
first
one
is
the
anti-graffiti
anti-litter
beautify
sj
report
and,
as
you
know,
there
was
a
study
session,
a
very
comprehensive
study
session
last
friday
that
took
the
place
of
this
and
then
the
other
two
items
are
being
deferred,
dropped
out
of
this
agenda
but
being
placed
on
the
next
work
plan.
So
that's
the
action
item
there.
That
would
need
a
vote.
D
B
Okay,
well,
can
we
take?
Can
we
take
a
look
at
the
question?
Okay,
yes,
of
course,
council
member
sparza,
sorry,
I
know.
F
D
Yeah,
so
that's
coming
back,
I
believe
the
blighted
reported,
responsible
landlord
is
coming
back
in
june
and
then
the
homeless
annual
report
reagan,
I
think
you're
I
think
reagan
is
on
the
line
here.
In
fact,
I
have
my
agenda.
I
just
would
have
to
pull
it
up.
H
F
And
so,
and
that
that's
kind
of
my
question
I
I
get
that
you
know
covet
is
all-consuming,
but
on
the
I
just
wanted
to
ask
a
clarification
on
the
blinded
properties
and
rlei
issue,
so
that
coming
back
in
june,
that
is
typically,
you
know
like
code
violations
and
people
living
in.
In
my
opinion,
substandard
living
conditions
feeling
like
they
have
to
do
that
because
they
can't
afford
something
else
they
can't
afford
to
leave.
F
Can
we
get
an
info
memo
before
that
or
just
some
update,
because
I
I'm
not
trying
to
add
to
the
workload
because
we're
dealing
with
an
eviction
cliff
and
a
whole
bunch
of
other
things
that
are
coming
up,
but
this
does
there
is
a
correlation
between
this
work
and
and
and
the
same
group
of
people
that
are
under
so
much
pressure,
so
I'm
comfortable
with
moving
this
to
june
2021.
F
As
long
as
we
get
an
update,
you
know,
february
march,
I
I
if
and
even
if
it's
in
an
existing
report
that
has
a
section
in
it,
I'm
okay
with
that
again
because
they
are
correlated
that's.
That
would
be
fine
with
me
and
and
I
I
just
think,
it's
important
information.
Thank
you.
D
Okay,
that's
a
very
good
point.
I
do
see
reagan
not
in
her
head,
so
we
could
definitely
do
that
we'll.
What
we'll
do
is
we'll.
You
know
if
if
you
approve
this,
we'll
move
this
that
specific
item
to
june,
but
then
issue
a
info
report
in
the
january
february
time
frame
and
as
per
the
motion,
the
recommendation.
F
Okay
and
I'll
move
I'll
move
I'll
move
that
I'll
move
moving
the
work
plan
and
with
that
adoption,
with
a
report
info
memo
in
january
february,
okay,.
B
And
you're
moving
council
members
as
you're
moving
both
items:
correct:
okay,
okay,
good
teamwork.
So
we
have
a
motion
on
the
floor.
We
have
a
second
and
do
we
need
to
take
roll
on
this
holy.
E
B
Hi,
thank
you.
Yay
on
to
consent,
calendar
there's
nothing
there
we're
on
to
our
reports
and
do
we
have
a
presentation
for
our
annual
performance
evaluation
report,
otherwise
known
as
caper.
H
B
Screen,
I
I'm
sorry
before
you
before
you
continue.
This
is
where
I'm
gonna
need
tony's
assistance.
Tony
you
know
this
is
the
first
time
I'm
really
chairing
a
committee,
so
you're
going
to
have
to
help
me
with
the
protocol
regarding
anybody
that
might
be
on
the
phone.
I
don't
want
to
skip
anyone,
and
I
see
mr
beekman.
B
Can
you
help
me
out
with
the
protocol,
because
I
don't
know
if
mr
beekman
wanted
to
speak
or
or
if
he
was
speaking
on
anything
that
we
may
have
just
gone
over
right
now.
E
I
Yes
correct.
Thank
you.
Thank
you
for
allowing
me
to
speak
at
the
work
plan.
Council
person,
paralysis
allowed
myself
to
speak
on
the
changes
to
the
work
plan
for
the
piss
fist
meeting
earlier
this
morning.
I
I
think
it's
a
better
way
to
work
and
when
you,
when
you
have
to
change
items
or
when
items,
are
dropped
to
allow
the
public
comment,
you
know
there
is
certain
brown
act
protocols
that
that
you
know
it
does
ask
and
state
that
you
know
the
public
has
a
right
to
speak
on
those
dropped
items,
not
all
the
time,
but
a
majority
of
the
time.
If
an
item
hasn't
been
before
a
council
before
or
committee
process
before,
the
the
public
has
a
definite
right
to
speak
on
that
item.
I
I
You
know
items
of
public
interest,
and
so
these
have
you
know
these
are
housing
ideas
and
you
had
a
good
week
this
past
week
on
council
agenda
items
and
and
yesterday
and
rules
in
open
government,
you
know
you're,
developing,
really
good
housing,
ideas
and
funding
ideas
for
people
of
low
income
and
with
forgiveness
issues.
I
You
know
with
rental
forgiveness
needs
basically
at
this
time
and
thank
you
as
a
city.
You
know
you
want
to
work
on
on
that
and
facilitate
that.
That's
a
lot
for
a
city
to
work
towards
and
and
to
be
able
to
offer
its
communities.
It
seems
more
than
just
state
funding
ideas.
So
thank
you
that
that
you
can
make
those
efforts.
I'm
worried
about
the
fireworks
ordinance
you're
going
to
be
practicing
some
surveillance
technology
and
ticketing
on
that.
Possibly
I
hope
it
doesn't
spill
over
into
you
know.
I
You
know
wanting
to
ticket
homeless
people
with
trash
issues.
I
hope
we're
dealing
on
a
completely
different
level
of
good
communication
with
trash
trash
and
homeless
issues.
So
much
so
I
mentioned
you
know.
The
idea.
Can
you
play
maybe
create
an
app
where
both
people
of
neighborhoods
and
everyday
and
the
homeless
people
can
have
a
way
to
communicate
on
the
app
thanks
a
lot.
B
Thank
you,
mr
beakman
tony.
Is
it
you
or
is
it
I
that
can't
that
announces
the
way
for
our
public
to
get
online
or
on
on
the
mic.
F
It's
you
I'm
actually
looking
for
my
script,
I
can
do
that
for
you
I'll
I'll,
find
my
script.
H
All
right
good
afternoon,
vice
chair
and
committee
members,
I'm
reagan
henninger,
the
deputy
director
of
the
city
of
san
jose's
housing
department
and
we're
here
to
review
the
consolidated
annual
performance
and
evaluation
report
known
as
the
caper,
which
is
an
annual
requirement
by
the
u.s
department
of
housing
and
urban
development
or
hud.
H
And,
as
I
just
said,
this
is
a
year-end
report
and
it's
backward
looking
that
reports
out
on
how
the
city
spent
all
of
its
federal
funds,
which
includes
cdbg,
home
hopwa
and
esg
funding,
and
last
year
we
had
four
priorities
that
you
can
see
here
on
the
screen
and
then
along
came
global
pandemic
and
we
have
a
fifth
priority,
which
was
the
coven
19
response.
So
I'm
going
to
briefly
go
over
some
of
the
highlights
in
each
of
these
priority
performance
areas.
H
So
I'll
start
with
our
covid
response,
because
that
has
been
so
urgent
and
required
such
a
massive
response
and
we
have
seen
a
tremendous
influx
of
one-time
funding
from
the
federal
cares
act
and,
as
you
can
see
here,
our
normal
annual
funds
from
hud
is
about
14
million
dollars.
Well
with
hud.
You
can
see
that
has
increased
substantially
and
it's
important
to
note
that
this
does
not
include
additional
state
grants
that
we
received
due
in
response
to
the
coronavirus,
and
it
does
not
include
the
general
coronavirus
relief
funds
that
the
city
received.
H
So
all
told
the
department
received
about
a
hundred
million
in
new
funds
in
fiscal
year,
1920,
which
was
desperately
needed
to
respond
to
covet
19.
But
it
did
create
a
tremendous
amount
of
work
for
our
small
team
of
eight
grant.
Analysts
who
develop
and
monitor
our
grants
contracts
and
since
march
this
tiny,
but
mighty
team
has
been
working
80
plus
hours
a
week
and
I'm
so
grateful
for
their
dedication
to
quickly
move
out
these
funds
to
our
community
serving
organization
into
the
hands
of
people
who
so
desperately
need
our
assistance.
H
So
our
covid19
response
has
funded
a
variety
of
things
that
you
can
see
here
on
the
slide,
but
some
additional
programs
that
we
funded
included
the
temporary
shelters
at
south
hall,
parkside
camden
community
center
and
the
bascom
community
center.
We've
also
funded
an
isolation
and
quarantine
program
in
partnership
with
the
county.
H
Many
of
these
programs
went
into
contract
later
in
the
fiscal
year
end
of
quarter
three
or
in
quarter
four,
and
so
we're
not
seeing
a
lot
of
the
data
back
yet
from
some
of
these
programs.
So
we
will
have
more
comprehensive
data
in
next
year's
report.
H
We
also
funded,
what's
called
the
coordinated
care
program,
which
is
a
housing
and
case
management
program
for
chronically
homeless
individuals
and
last
year,
that
program
permanently
housed
166
individuals
and
we
also
funded
a
homeless
prevention
program
with
bill
wilson
center,
which
is
the
40
fam
47
families.
You
see
here
on
the
presentation,
but
I
do
want
to
note
that
this
does
not
because
this
caper
is
focused
on
our
federal
funding.
H
It
does
not
include
funding
that
we
use
for
our
larger
homeless
prevention
system
with
destination
home
that
we
funded
with
state
heap
and
hat
funds.
H
H
Owners
also
in
this
category,
we
fund
investments
in
the
city's
capital
projects
and
improvements.
We
funded
pedestrian
improvements
in
primarily
in
district
7,
3
and
5..
Because
of
this
federal
funding,
we
are
required
to
do
these
capital
improvements
in
areas
that
are
low-income
census,
tracts
and
so
that
work
was
concentrated,
as
I
said,
primarily
in
districts.
Three
five
and
seven.
H
H
And
then
also
in
this
strengthening
neighbor
neighborhoods
category,
we
have
two
contracts,
one
with
habitat
for
humanity
and
the
other
with
rebuilding
together
for
home
repairs
and
combined.
These
two
programs
assisted
217,
low-income
san
jose
residents,
with
urgent
safety
and
accessibility
repairs
to
their
homes,
and
we
also
funded
targeted
code
enforcement
in
the
neighborhoods
of
santee,
five
wounds,
brookwood
terrace
round
table
hoffman
via
monty
foxdale
and
the
cadillac
neighborhoods.
H
H
And
then
the
second
contract
was
with
also
with
a
legal
consortium
specifically
for
legal
services,
for
low-income
tenants
and
landlords
to
assist
in
enforcing
the
city's
import
apartment,
rent
ordinance
and
our
tenant
protection
ordinance,
and
this
legal
consortium
was
comprised
of
five
different
non-profit
agencies,
including
law
foundation,
bay
area,
legal
aid,
project,
sentinel
senior,
adult
legal
assistance
and
asian
law
alliance.
And
you
can
see
here
the
results
of
both
of
those
and
then
I'm
saying
grants
the
guy.
H
F
B
And
I
I
dr
dr
mr
beekman.
I
Hello,
it's
big
man
here
hi
for
this
item.
You
know
kind
of
a
continuation
of
of
homeless
issues
and
ideas.
Thank
you.
I
guess
to
make
clear
you
know
thank
you
that
you're
working
on
on
rent
forgiveness,
ideas
for
for
people-
and
hopefully
I
can
make
that
clear-
that
as
a
city
with
your
city,
council
and
and
and
rules
in
open
government
yesterday,
we're
talking
about
were
these
sorts
of
issues.
So
thank
you,
rent
forgiveness
is
is
important
at
this
time.
I
I
know
robert
aguirre
in
terms
of
homeless
issues,
he's
been
around
city
council
lately
to
talk
about
how
you
know
there
needs
to
be
a
bit
more
representation
from
the
homeless
community
on
committees
and
commissions,
and
I
I
we've
been
talking
about
that
for
years.
I
hope
it'll
be
coming
through
soon
and
that
that
can
be
happening.
I
think
it
would
be
a
really
good
voice
to
have
on
on
government
committees,
city,
government
committees,
to
conclude
to
return
to
the
funding
ideas.
I
You
know
we're
at
a
time
that
you
know
it's
gonna
be
a
really
difficult
winter.
It
sounds
like
for
small
businesses
in
san
jose.
If
not,
you
know
the
area
in
the
country,
and
I
I
just
I've,
been
trying
to
learn.
You
know
spoken
a
few
times
a
council
this
week,
I'm
trying
to
learn.
I
have
to
try
to
learn
to
say
it
again.
I
What
I've
been
trying
to
say
all
fall
is
the
ideas
of
we
have
to
be
open
to
the
ideas
of
funding
and
that
there's
state
mechanisms
that
are
working
really
well
to
develop,
funding
for
local
cities
and
they're
getting
you
know
some
money
from
federal
agencies
and
then
learning
how
to
really
develop
those.
We
have
to
be
open
to
that
at
the
local
level
and
we
have
to
consider
that
we're
at
a
time
of
not
just
you
know,
we
have
to
be
forgiving
of
ourselves
and
not
be
stuck
with
the
debt
burden
ideas.
I
B
Thank
you
so
much
mr
beekman
and
I'll
return
to
my
council
colleagues,
council,
member
esparza.
F
Thank
you,
sorry
about
jumping
the
gun
before
I
I
just
you
know
we're
gonna
talk
about
this
shortly.
So
I'll
keep
my
comments
and
questions
brief.
I
I
I'll
focus
on
really
a
couple.
One
is
with
our
work
with
nonprofit
partners.
I
think
we've
because
we
had
a
ramp
up
so
quickly.
We
had
no
time
and
and
the
situation
was
rapidly
changing
and
continues
to
change
pretty
rapidly,
but
now
we're
nine
months
into
it.
F
We
have
you
know,
probably
next
year
that
we
will
have
lots
of
things
to
deal
with.
We
have
leaned
a
lot
on
some
non-profits
in
our
community,
both
large
and
very
small.
F
You
mentioned
somos
mayfair
earlier
they're,
a
pretty
you
know,
they're
small,
but
mighty
and
and
they're
also
geographically,
based
and
and
we
keep
going
and
I'm
just
using
them
as
an
example.
I'm
not
picking
on
them,
but
we
keep
going
to
them
over
and
over
again
to
represent
really
issues
that
are
all
over
the
city,
and
that
and
and
the
we
would
normally
under
under
different
circumstances,
expect
a
larger
organization
to
address.
F
H
So
you
know
with
our
federal
funding,
because
we
are,
we
are
required
to
spend
it
in
certain
census,
tracts
that
are
low
income.
The
that's
the
advantage
of
contracting
with
the
somos
mayfair
or
common
university
is
because
they
are
so
dialed
into
those
neighborhoods
that
we
need
to
to
be
working
in
with
these
federal
funds.
H
You
know
I
I
mentioned
at
the
very
end
of
the
presentation
about
just
our
staff.
Capacity
right
now
is
really
lacking
in
terms
of
being
able
to
do
any
new
rfps
for.
H
Services
or
capacity
building
for
non-profits,
but
I
think
we're
super
open
to
thinking
about
how
we
can
help
the
organizations
that
we
are
currently
working
with
on
their
capacity
issues.
Because,
honestly,
we
we
do
lean
on
them
a
lot
and
they
have
risen
to
the
challenge
during
covent
and-
and
so
you
know,
it's
a
it's
a
completely
important
point
that
you
raise
council
member
about
wanting
to
make
sure
those
partners
are
able
to
continue
partnering
with
us
through
this
pandemic
and
beyond.
H
F
Thank
you,
and
I
know
that
there
isn't
like
a
you
know,
we
have
our
own
capacity
issues
but,
but
also
there
isn't
sort
of
like
I
always
I
tell
people
in
the
community,
there
isn't
a
magic
wand
that
we
can
just
wave
and
fix
it
all.
Typically,
it's
going
to
be
a
menu
of
lots
of
different
things
that
we
do,
whether
it's
covid,
whether
it's
homelessness,
whether
it's
some
of
the
big
issues
that
we
tackle
as
a
community.
F
It
isn't
there
isn't
going
to
be
a
one
and
done
it's
which
I
know
a
lot
of
people
do
want,
but
but
I
do
think
that
it,
it
behooves
us
to
try
and
figure
out
how
to
how
to
provide
more
capacity
as
stretched
as
we
are.
F
They
are
just
on
a
next
level
and
and
and
a
lot
of
small
but
mighty
non-profits
are
really
just
operating
from
the
heart,
but
they're
literally
like
killing
themselves.
You
know
out
there
and
so.
K
F
That's
I
just,
I
think,
that's
an
important
issue
that
as
we
go
into
this
next
phase,
we
have
the
luxury
that
we
did
not
have
in
march
and
april
and
may
of
kind
of
knowing
a
little
bit
more
about
what's
ahead
of
us.
So
so
that's
one
issue.
F
I
also
wanted
to
thank
the
city,
our
our
own
city,
folks,
excuse
me,
and
our
non-profit
partners
for
literally
saving
lives
between
and
I
represent
district
seven.
I
think
between
myself
and
councilmember
carrasco.
We
represent
really
the
city's
hardest.
The
counties
hardest
hits
areas,
and
then
we
have
our
neighbor
to
the
south
gilroy.
But
95122
has
more
coveted
cases
than
the
entire
city
of
gilroy
and
the
food
distributions.
F
The
moteling,
the
sheltering
have
literally
saved
lives,
they
just
they
have,
and
it's
it's
critical
critical
work
and
the
county
had
a
referral
that
came
up
before
them
on
tuesday
about
their
isolation
and
relief
programs
and
offering
some
streamlining
some
standardization
and
some
reporting
changes
to
that.
F
F
We
are
not
cutting
back
our
support
for
isolation.
Is
that
correct?
That's
correct,
thank
you,
and
so
with
that
I'll
just
add,
I'm
sure
there'll
be
more
discussed
on
tuesday,
but
I
wanted
to
just
add
my
support
for
supervisors,
ellenberg
and
chavez
for
their
leadership.
On
that
streamlining,
standardization
and
reporting
it.
It
is
super
critical.
F
I
have
seen
more
and
more
in
my
district
that
which
is
very
hard
hit
in
covid
that
people
are
afraid
to
get
tested
because
they're
dealing
with
all
these
financial
issues,
they're,
either
unemployed
or
underemployed
and
and
the
isolation
again
is
saving
not
just
their
lives
or
their
families
lives,
but
all
of
our
lives
right
if
they
work
in
in
santa
ana.
L
F
If
they
work
in
some
other
part
of
the
city,
it's
saving
all
the
people
that
they
could
possibly
interact
with
as
well,
and
so
I
just
wanted
to
to
to
offer
my
support
for
the
counties,
streamlining
work
and
will,
because
we
share
the
pots
of
money,
then
does
our
money
also
get
streamlined
and,
along
with
what
the
county
is
doing?
Is
that
correct?
Yes,.
H
So
we're
funding
that
county
program
which,
as
you
said,
they
have
really
and
working
hard
to
improve
it,
to
streamline
it,
to
make
modifications
to
better
serve
our
community
and
and
we're
directly
funding
that
program
where
and
the
city
is
not
leaning
back
if
anything,
we're
leaning
in
and
continue
to
support
and
fund
that
program.
F
Good,
thank
you.
I
know
that
dr
cody
has
talked
about
the
deaths
that
we
can
expect
in
a
few
weeks
as
things
get
worse
before
they
get
better,
and
so
this
is
a
critically
important
program
and
I'm
sure
there'll
be
more
questions
next
week,
but
I
think
that
that's
the
message
I
want
to
get
out
to
our
partners
to
the
public
is
that
this
this
program
is
not
going
away.
This
assistance
will
still
be
there
please
get
tested.
Please
don't
gather
and
don't
go
to
work
if
you're
sick.
L
Thank
you,
councilmember
esparza,
always
on
point
with
your
questioning,
particularly
your
capacity
building
questions.
I
really
appreciate
your
your
line
of
thinking
in
that
regard
and
truly
your
city,
your
zip
codes
and
council
member
cross
goes
our
heaviest
hit
within
the
city
of
san
jose.
No
question
about
that.
Indisputable.
So
our
research
sources
should
be
allocated
there.
To
the
greatest
extent
possible
doesn't
mean
that
our
other
districts
aren't
affected.
L
Every
district
is
but
just
not
to
the
same
level,
and
we
all
recognize
that
and
know
that
you
are
hardest
hit
and
wish
it
wasn't
so,
but
it
is
and
we
need
to
make
sure
that
we
take
care
of
those
your
residents
as
much
as
possible
reagan.
I
want
to
thank
you
for
the
report
and
it's
incredible
the
amount
of
money
that
you
have
been
handed
this
year
to
deal
with
this
huge
crisis
and
how
well
your
department
has
really
pivoted
to
dealing
with
it.
L
I
know
there's
been
a
learning
curve
over
the
last
over
the
months,
but
I
am
really
impressed
with
how
you've
been
able
to
manage
it,
and
we
have
the
the
auditor's
report
taking
a
look
at
how
the
funds
were
allocated,
and
that
was
pretty
impressive,
actually
considering
how
much
money
you
received
and
then
passed
on
to
other
non
to
non-profits
how
many
of
them
were
fulfilling
the
obligations
that
they
needed
to
as
outlined
in
the
in
the
requirements
of
the
mou
and
the
the
funding
cycle.
So
I'm
I'm
really
really
impressed
by
that.
L
But
I
wonder,
is
that-
and
I
understand
it's
a
capacity
on
the
side
of
your
staff
not
being
able
to
send
out
any
more
requests
for
proposals
and
looking
for
any
other
non-profits
or
expanding
uses
at
current
non-profits.
But
are
there
any
red
flags
or
do
you
have
any
concerns
in
the
list
or
that
are
there
groups
that
we're
missing
in
that
list?
That
should
that
are
obvious
nonprofits
that
we
should
be
reaching
out
to
that?
We
just
haven't
had
the
capacity
to
yet,
but
who
could
really
be
a
big
help
in
this
regard?.
H
You
know
I
should
say
we
did
release
an
rfp
for
our
rapid
rehousing
program
and
for
a
new
employment
program
and
those
will
be
coming
to
council
on
tuesday
and
we
also
released
an
rfp
to
find
an
operator
for
the
hotel
that
we
purchased
under
project
homekey.
That
state
grant
opportunity,
so
rfps
some
are
being
done,
but
you
know
that's.
Those
rfps
are
on
top
of
all
of
the
covid
response.
H
I
will
say
we
have
been
able
to
enter
into
contracts
with
some
new
service
providers
without
doing
an
rfp
based
on
some
flexibility
with
the
coved
emergency.
That
does
allow
us
to
kind
of
not
not
go
through
as
many
steps
so
we've
been
able
to,
for
example,
contract
with
next-door
solutions
to
domestic
violence,
for
some
rental
assistance,
we're
talking
to
them
as
well
about
some
emergency
motel
programs.
So
it's
really
been
an
effort
to
find
organizations
that
have
the
expertise
and
the
capacity
to
respond.
L
But
I
really
appreciate
that.
I
know
there
will
be
a
lot
more
discussion
and
conversation
next
week
at
the
council
meeting.
But
I
wanted
to
thank
you
here
after
your
presentation
and
applaud
you
for
the
work
you're
doing
and
how
how
well
you
are
really
handling
the
fiduciary
responsibility
of
the
funds
that
are
coming
in.
So
thank
you
very
much.
That's
it
for
me,
chair.
B
Thank
you
and
I'm
looking
to
see
if
anybody
else
had
had
any
any
feedback.
I
see
that
council
member
jimenez
has
joined
us
councilmember
jimenez.
Would
you
like
to
make
a
comment.
I
I
don't
have
a
comment
I
think
everything's
been
stated.
I
I
did
appreciate
the
comments
around
the
council.
Member
of
spars
are
made
around
the
the
going
to
the
same
organizations
time
and
again
and
that
wearing
them
down.
I
I
also
you
know
outside
of
covid
and
such
we
also
know
that
there's
many
of
these
organizations,
I
think,
would
love
the
opportunity
to
expand
in
other
parts
of
the
city
that
I
think
are
very
much
needed,
say
round,
table
in
district
two
and
cadillac
and
on
and
on
right
there's
other
places,
and
so
I
think
it's
just
important
not
to
forget
that
there's
a
lot
of
areas
of
need
and
some
of
these
organizations
are
stretched
thin
and
having
been
a
past
board
member
somos
mayfair.
I
B
Thank
you,
councilmember
jimenez,
you
know
I
I
I'm
gonna
have
to.
I
have
to
echo
the
the
same
sentiment.
I
love
the
work
that
somos
does
and,
of
course,
of
course
it
sits
squarely
in
the
middle
of
my
district
and
it
does
fantastic
work.
It
works
with
our
youth.
It
works
with
our
seniors.
It
works
in
the
area
of
art.
It
works
in
the
area
of
organizing
with
promotoras,
I
mean
I
can
go
on
and
on
and
they're
the
staunch
supporters
of
affordable
housing
and
they're
at
every
round
table.
B
They
start
every
task
force
that
we
we
need,
and
I
can't
imagine
a
day
when
their
voices
are
not
at
a
round
table
advocating
for
the
needs
of
our
residents.
B
Of
course,
they
were
part
of
of
the
census
as
well,
and
I
mean
I
can
go
on
and
on
and
on
and
on
and
and
so
they've
grown
from
a
very
tiny
little
organization
to
what
we
now
know
is
part
of
a
an
ongoing
conversation
just
about
any
sort
of
social
justice
or
inequity.
Conversation
somos
is
front
and
center,
but
I,
but
I
do
think
that
in
an
effort
to
keep
keep
them
at
a
place
where
they
can
continue
to
do
the
good
work
that
they
do.
B
Maybe
it's
a
conversation
we
need
to
have
with
them
and
and
be
able
to
gauge
truly
what
their
capacity
is
or
how
we
support
a
capacity
building.
How
do
we
not
tax
them
and
and
compromise
the
quality
of
their
work,
and
also,
how
do
we
bring
in
other
nonprofit
organizations
so
that
they
can
either
replicate
or
do
other
kinds
of
work
that
we
really
truly
need
from
other
nonprofits
so
that
we
can
continue
serving
our
residents
because
we
can't
do
it
alone?
B
I
mean
that's
the
magic
of
all
of
this,
and
so
we
know
that
in
in
post
covid
in
recovery
from
covet
we're
going
to
need
all
hands
on
deck,
to
really
help
us
come
out
of
this
as
best
as
possible,
and
I
think
that
there's
going
to
be
just
a
lot
of
work
to
go
around,
and
so
who
do
we
support
so
that
they
can
do
this
kind
of
work
in
assisting
our
our
community?
So
I
think
that's
a
a
worthwhile
conversation
to
be
had
reagan.
Thank
you
so
much
for
for
the
report.
B
I
know
it's
going
to
be.
This
will
be
cross-referenced
for
this
coming
tuesday.
Did
you
say?
Yes,
I.
H
Think
that's
part
of
the
recommendation
and
the
staff
report
is
to
refer
it
to
council
for
this
tuesday.
The
15th
and.
B
Second,
thank
you
so
much
for
that
council,
member
jimenez-
I
I
will
say
you
know
in
this
time
of
great
need
to
be
able
to
use
the
funds
wisely
and
to
be
able
to
leverage
every
little
bit.
That
we
have
is
is
no
small
feat,
and
so
I
appreciate
what
the
entire
housing
department
has
been
able
to
do
and
and
the
creativity
and
the
partnerships
that
we
have
there.
B
You
know
my
my
my
concern
is
what's
about
to
happen
after
december,
because
just
as
we
had
been
kind
of
coming
out
of
the
darkness,
that
was
the
first
sip
order.
B
We
get
hit
again
with
with
this
new
stay
at
home
order,
and
then
we
see
our
numbers
go
up
dramatically
and
you
know
I
a
lot
of
the
chatter
that
I'm
hearing
on
social
media
and
different
circles
is
well.
You
know,
but
the
deaths
are
not.
The
loss
of
life
is
not
as
high.
B
You
know
you
hear
a
lot
of
this
kind
of
thing
and-
and
I
I
hope
it's
not-
I
truly
do,
but,
as
the
numbers
keep
rising,
it's
inevitable
that
you're
going
to
start
to
see
a
rise
in
in
the
toll
of
of
life
and
the
loss
of
life.
But
but
in
addition
to
that,
we
don't
know
what
the
long-term
impacts
are
going
to
be
on
our
community.
B
B
Nine
months
later,
young
people
who
came
out
of
it
very
healthy
are
starting
to
have
health
implications
and
that's
the
that's
the
a
very
scary,
lifelong
impact
on
on
our
on
our
communities
and
so
we'll
see
what
the
next
kind
of
corona
virus
relief
packages
we
we
we
get
from
the
new
administration,
but
thank
you
so
much
and
we
have
a
motion
and
with
that
roll
call,
police
miss
madame
clerk,
lunas.
F
B
I
thank
you.
Thank
you
so
much
thank
you
and
with
that
we
will
move
on
to
our
next
item,
which
is
the
scholarships
and
fee
activity
report
and
who,
who
will
be
presenting
on
that
angel.
M
Thank
you
vice
chair
good
afternoon,
council
members,
so
some
of
this
will
be
a
little
bit
of
a
repeat
for
you.
You
know:
we've
had
this
conversation
with
you
all
before
in
this
committee.
You
know
not,
unlike
the
item
before
this
one
got
off
track
because
of
the
virus
showed
up.
We
actually
had
some
ideas
going
into
the
budget
process
for
2021
and
all
of
that
had
to,
along
with
many
many
other
things
had
to
be
left
aside,
but
we've
also
got
some
lessons.
M
We've
learned
through
kovid,
so
more
lessons
and
things
that
we're
seeing
and
we've
done
some
additional
thinking
about
how
we
think
we
should
organize
this
and
ultimately
we're
just
we're
interested
in
your
feedback
and
if
it's,
if
it's
lining
up
with
your
thinking
as
well,
so
I'm
going
to
hand
this
over
to
andrea,
flores,
shelton
she's,
our
interim
deputy
director
over
recreation,
neighborhood
services,
dave
delong,
is
our
interim
division
manager
over
our
administrative
processes
and
house
spandenberg
is
our
interim
division
manager
and
rns,
so
the
interim
team
will
take
it
away.
N
N
We'd
like
you
to
accept
the
report
on
scholarship
and
fee
activity,
as
well
as
provide
feedback
and
direction
to
us
regarding
equitable
access
to
community
center
programs,
aligned
with
the
education
policy
0-30
that
you
all
approved
earlier
this
year,
as
well
as
the
pricing
and
revenue
policy
1-21
that
we
will
be
speaking
about
and
before
we
go
into
to
that.
I
do
want
to
kind
of
go
backwards,
a
little
bit
and
and
dive
into
just
a
little
bit
about
what
pr
ns
john
cicerelli
and
neil
rafino
reported
last
year.
N
Just
to
to
remind
you
where
we've
been,
we
did
come
to
you
before
and
discuss
how
the
recession
of
10
to
12
years
ago
and
how
that
deeply
made
significant
cuts
to
our
service
levels
and
also
to
our
staffing
and
then
that
led
to
sort
of
a
new
fee
based
service
model
that
was
codified
through
the
pricing
and
revenue
policy
adopted
in
2009
neil
at
the
time,
walked
you
through
the
department
efforts
to
ensure
that
we
continued
to
provide
access
to
our
community
all
communities
by
focusing
on
increasing
scholarship,
the
number
of
participants
as
well
as
we
increased
the
the
scholarship
amount
over
the
years.
N
So
we
walked
through
that
and
then
finally,
we
walked
you
through
sort
of
the
comparison
as
it
stood
at
that
time
in
2019
about
how
we're
seeing
our
cost
recovery
targets
as
well
as
fee
activity
and
how
that
played
out
in
our
particular
program,
and
that
was
preschool.
N
And
so
we
walked
you
through
those
examples.
And
what
we
said
at
that
time
was
that
we
wanted
to
reevaluate
again
sort
of
our
fees
and
then
kind
of
hone
in
on
those
family-friendly
programs.
And
this
was
all
because
we
were
also
really
re-evaluating
ourselves
through
the
lens
of
activate
sj.
So
you
know
we
have
our.
N
We
have
five
pillars
and
the
work
that
we're
doing
now
is
really
driven
by
the
pillar
of
equity
and
access
where
we
commit
to
embracing
people
of
all
ages,
cultures,
races
and
abilities,
regardless
of
income
or
neighborhood,
and
in
this
section
we
have
two
specif.
We
have
a
benchmark
and
two
specific
activities.
So
this
benchmark.
N
What
we
call
ea
five
is
ask:
we
we're
we're
directing
we're
directing
ourselves
to
evaluate
revenue,
generating
programs
as
well
as
attempting
to
increase
our
scholarship
assistance
again,
all
in
an
effort
to
increase
equity
and
access,
and
then
you
can
see
these
two
activities
or
how
we,
how
we
plan
to
do
that.
So
again,
we're
looking
to
to
move
this,
and
we
would
say
that
the
the
covet
experience
of
this
year
has
really
given
some
urgency
around
this.
N
So,
in
addition
to
activate
sj
driving
this,
we
also
had
the
council
policy.
Education
policy
was
adopted
in
february
of
2020,
and
the
education
policy
calls
out.
As
stated
in
our
memo
before
you
today
that
the
city
needs
to
take
consideration
that
the
plans
and
programs
that
highlight
children
and
families
most
in
need
of
educational
supports
are
also
the
most
likely
to
face
financial
hardships,
and
so
we
want
to
balance
financial
sustainability
with
the
with
affordability
and
access
to
our
diverse
community.
N
So
again,
we're
coming
forward
with
our
recommendations
today
to
align
with
council
adopted
policy
and
the
equity
and
access
portion
of
activate
sj.
N
We
have
public
merit
and
private
and
you'll
see
on
if
we
start
at
the
private
line,
you'll
see
that
a
private
benefit
means
there's
minimal
to
no
general
fund
support
or
subsidy,
and
to
date
we
have
programs
such
as
preschool
rock
or
after
after-school
program,
leisure
classes,
rentals
for
private
parties,
fitness
membership
and
golf
that
are
currently
in
that
private
category
and
due
to
the
adoption
of
the
education
policy,
we
are
considering
with
the
budget
office
whether
or
not
it's
feasible
to
move
those
programs
into
the
merit
category.
N
So
you'll
see
on
the
on
the
merit
row
you'll
see
that
we're
trying
to
consider
whether
or
not
recreation
preschool
rock
things
such
as
swim.
Lessons
could
be
considered
merit
and
merit
would
mean
that
there's
a
cost-sharing
model
that
there's
a
balance
between
general
fund
support
and
fee
activity
and
so
again
we're
trying
to
be
responsive
to
council
policy
as
well
as
balance
the
the
budget
situation.
N
So,
in
addition
to
those
items
under
consideration,
we
also
are
looking
at
those
programs
that
can
be
deemed
public,
and
that
means
those
programs
that
receive
the
highest
level
of
community
benefit
and
therefore
the
general
fund
subsidy,
and
we
do
not
charge
for
that.
So
today
those
would
be
walking
on
trails,
access
to
neighborhood
parks,
as
well
as
our
senior
nutrition
program.
N
So
again,
what
we're
considering
is
moving
things
such
as
recreational
swim,
things
that
we
know
are
a
priority
to
to
council
as
well
as
teen
center
memberships
that
have
historically
they're
such
a
nominal
cost
and
some
of
our
partners
have
come,
have
come
to
support
us
in
terms
of
county
probation
and
things
like
that.
N
We
think
these
are
the
type
of
things
that
we
would
like
to
consider
moving
from
merit
to
public,
so
we're
starting
the
conversation
and
looking
for
your
recommendations,
your
questions
that
we
can
move
forward
and
discuss
further
with
the
budget
office
on
whether
it's
feasible
to
move
these
things
around
and
again
have
budget
support
to
do
that.
So
with
that,
I'm
going
to
turn
it
over
to
dave
delong
for
further
discussion.
O
Yeah
high
council
members
dave
delong
interim
division
manager
with
prns
just
to
piggyback
on
some
of
the
things
that
andres
just
mentioned.
Just
to
do
a
recap,
you
know
in
the
mid
2000s
pns
devoted
a
lot
of
time
and
energy
and
resources
to
scoping
out
a
new
approach
to
service
sustainability,
and
you
know
at
that
time
we
were
able
to
see
some
budget
deficits
on
the
horizon.
This
is
before
the
great
recession.
O
We
really
kicked
it
into
high
gear
in
order
to
come
up
with
a
philosophical
framework
by
which
we
would
determine
how
we
were
going
to
approach
revenue
generation
and
cost
recovery.
O
Thinking
about
general
fund
subsidies
or
100
cost
recovery
for
things
that
maybe
were
of
more
of
a
private
benefit
which
andre
alluded
to
this
is
the
culmination
of
that
effort
and
andre
did
a
good
job
of
just
running
through
kind
of
how
we
look
at
these
different
categories,
but,
as
you
can
see,
our
original
evaluations
that
we
conducted
may
not
align
with
the
way
we
or
the
city
council
or
the
community,
see
things
today,
and
so
you
know,
that's
really
the
discussion
we're
trying
to
have
we're
trying
to
reconsider
our
approach
to
subsidization
of
the
programs
and
services,
but
knowing
that
there's
a
real
impact
to
the
city's
bottom
line,
though
everyone
may
agree
that
revisions
are
due.
O
So
I
think
you've
seen
this
this
this
slide
before
or
this
graph
before.
Basically,
it
says
that
over
the
last
12
years,
the
department
has
generated
over
200
million
dollars
in
revenue
from
our
fee
activity
and
other
revenue
generating
programs,
which
is
amazing
thing
right,
because
it
alleviates
the
general
funds
burden
with
respect
to
our
operating
costs.
What
this
graph
doesn't
show.
O
You,
though,
is
that
you
know
we
do
have
a
systemic
issue
associated
with
our
cost
recovery
efforts,
and
it's
this
while
we're
seeing
our
revenues
go
up
steadily
over
the
years
right
and
we've
done
a
tremendous
job
with
this
revenue
and
pricing
policy
to
make
that
happen,
our
operating
expenses
continue
to
outpace
our
ability
to
increase
revenues,
and
that's
primarily
due
to
just
staffing
costs.
You
know
they're
they're
antici.
We
can
anticipate
them.
We
know
that
they're
coming.
We
can
anticipate
that
you
know
they're
gonna
race
away
from
us.
O
O
To
the
point
that
we
can't,
we
can't
exclude
people
because
we've
outpriced
them
from
the
market.
With
that
said,
we
do
try
to
build
our
participation
through
our
advertising
and
marketing
efforts,
and
we
do
see
some
growth
in
our
programs
as
we
go
from
year
to
year,
but
again,
it's
not
enough
to
to
make
up
for
the
difference
in
in
the
growth
and
expense.
O
Taking
a
look
at
that
you
know
we
can.
We
can
show
you
at
just
in
one
facility
an
example
of
of
some
of
the
things
that
we're
looking
at.
So
we
pull.
We
decided
to
pulled
an
example
to
show
you
what
the
dynamic
in
the
conversation
is.
Looking
at
roosevelt
community
center
for
2018
2019,
these
are
actual
numbers
you
can
see
at
the
top
of
this
chart.
O
We
could
see
expenses
for
the
fiscal
year
and
that
includes
general
fund
costs
for
operating
the
center,
but
also
our
appearance
fee
activity
cost
for
offering
fee
generating
programs.
The
total
expenses
for
that
year
was
1.8
million
dollars
at
the
community
center.
We
were
able
to
generate
different
types
of
revenue
amounting
to
about
a
half
a
million
dollars,
making
the
overall
net
impact
of
the
general
fund
about
1.3
million.
O
Now
that
just
illustrates
a
point
that
you
know
for
one
location
that
is
relatively
small
in
the
way
of
revenue
generation.
If
you
reply
that
across
the
board,
we're
talking
about
big
money
and
so
what
we
wanted
to
point
out
that
if
we
change
our
philosophical
approach
to
some
of
the
programs
that
we
know
that
the
community
demands
and
that
the
community
needs
it's
going
to
have
an
impact
to
the
general
fund.
O
So
we
wanted
to
illustrate
that
for
you
as
we
engage
in
this
conversation,
but
in
light
of
what
we've
experienced
in
the
pandemic,
I
think
we
can
see
that
you
know
there
really
is
that
demand
out
there,
and
if
we
were
able
to
make
our
programs
and
services
accessible
from
a
pricing
standpoint
from
a
scholarship
standpoint,
we
would
see
greater
participation
and
meet
that
need
much
better
than
we
are
now.
So
with
that,
I'm
going
to
turn
it
over
to
how
who's
going
to
speak.
To
that
point,
in
particular,.
P
Thanks
dave
and
thank
you,
andrea
and
good
afternoon,
council
members,
I
wanted
to
walk
you
through
some
of
our
scholarship
utilization
that
we've
had
this
year
and
also
through
our
programs
also
do
a
comparison
of
two
of
our
community
centers
with
similar
amenities
and
then
talk
a
little
bit
about
what
we've
learned
in
operating
our
rock
and
learn
program.
P
So
in
the
year,
2020
we've
issued
out
927
scholarships
and,
as
you
see
from
the
graph
below
it's
from
a
wide
range
of
zip
codes,
29
zip
codes
are
represented
in
this
in
these
scholarships
throughout
the
city
of
san
jose,
and
as
you
see
the
graph
continue
to
rise,
you
can
see
the
the
standard
zip
codes
that
were
that
we're
used
to
seeing
in
a
high
need
areas
all
the
way
up
to
115
scholarships
represented
in
the
95122
zip
code.
P
Next
slide,
I
also
wanted
to
piggyback
off
of
neil's
presentation
from
last
year,
where
he
compared
two
community
centers
by
program.
We
wanted
to
give
a
comparison
of
two
community
centers
and
what
they
offer
in
a
typical
non-coveted
year.
These
two
community,
centers,
almaden
and
roosevelt,
are
very
similar
in
size
and
amenities.
The
main
difference
being
elmaden
has
a
basketball
gymnasium
where
roosevelt
does
not,
but
everything
else
is
fairly
similar.
P
The
three
categories
that
we
have
rocket
is
tied
to
our
cost
recovery
model
and
fee
activity,
and
the
majority,
if
not
all,
of
the
schools
in
the
roosevelt
area
are
title.
One
schools
that
are
available
and
eligible
for
aces
funding,
free
after
school
programming
and
our
rock
program
is
not
currently
in
that
model.
It
is
a
fee
based
program
and
although
we
have
scholarships
attached,
it's
only
at
a
35
percent
subsidy
rate
for
those
scholarships,
so
those
areas
would
not
be
able
to
afford
that
program.
In
the
roosevelt
area.
P
Fitcamp,
which
was
a
team
program
in
the
summer,
also
offered
at
both
team
camps,
no,
it
amboden
and
yes
at
roosevelt.
P
While
roosevelt
only
had
32
again,
leisure
programs
are
tied
to
our
fee
activity
model
and
cost
recovery
model,
and
while
they
do
have
a
scholarship
attached
to
them,
it's
at
a
75
rate,
and
we
know
that
even
a
25
cost
for
these
programs
can
be
a
struggle
and
a
barrier
barrier
for
families
in
need
and
the
same
thing
you
see
with
specialty
camps.
So
these
are
camps
that
are
outside
of
our
camp,
san,
jose
and
fitcamp.
P
A
lot
of
these
camps
are
focused
on
a
certain
activity
like
it'll,
be
a
three-hour
basketball
camp
or
a
three-hour
dance
or
piano
class.
You
can
see
56
offered
at
amaden,
while
only
six
offered
at
roosevelt
and
then
a
huge
disparity
here
in
the
number
of
unduplicated
scholarship
participants
at
amaden.
So
while
we
know
that
there
are
more
participants
in
these
programs
at
almaden,
we
also
see
a
wide
gap
in
the
number
of
scholarship
need
and
scholarship
participants
at
roosevelt
with
that
number
being
400
me
versus
168.
B
I
can
you
just
stop
there
for
just
a
quick
second.
Definitely
so,
can
you
give
me
an
example
of
what
kind
of
classes
are
taking
place
in
your
rock
program.
P
So
our
rock
programs
are
after
school
model
that
is,
takes
place
on
elementaries,
mostly
elementary
school
campuses.
We
do
have
a
few
middle
schools,
but
the
majority
are
elementary.
It's
a
program
that
runs
from
the
school
dismissal
until
6
p.m,
every
day
that
school's
in
session
so
180
days.
What
we
provide
is
homework,
a
support,
physical
activity
and
enrichment
activities
for
students
that
are
enrolled.
P
Yes,
yes,
we
have
trained
staff
with
a
one
to
twenty
ratio
to
student
to
staff
that
are
able
to
assist
with
homework,
so
we
usually
break
up
the
day
so
a
three
hour
day,
a
typical
schedule
would
be
the
first
hour
they
come
in,
have
a
snack
finish
their
homework.
If
they
don't
have
homework,
they'll
read
that
would
be
followed
by
an
outdoor
activity
weather
permitting.
If
it's
not,
we
use,
you
know
grounds
on
the
school.
P
The
multi-purpose
room,
things
like
that,
followed
by
an
enrichment
activity,
so
that
might
be
a
stem
activity
things
to
make
the
verse
for
science
they're,
participating
in
tech
challenges.
Things
like
that
throughout
the
year
and
then
again
usually
followed
up
with
another
game
or
activity
to
to
increase
that
physical
participation
for
the
students.
P
Sure
so,
typically
there's
six
community
centers
that
rock
is
housed
in
almaden,
has
four
locations
of
rocks
so
schools
in
the
almaden
area,
willow
glen
has
a
rock
site
in
their
area.
Evergreen,
berryessa
and
camden
are
the
six
community
centers
that
operate
rock
programs
with
their
staffing
out
of
their
community
centers
and
all
the
schools
are
located
very
close
to
those
community
centers.
B
And-
and
these
are
these
are
taking
place
because
you
say
that
these
are
the
cost
recovery
programs.
P
I
wouldn't
say
they're
taking
place
because
they're
cost
recovery.
They
are
part
of
our
cost
recovery
program
and
that's
the
challenge
of
offering
them
in
locations
such
as
a
roosevelt,
mayfair
or
seven
trees
area
because
of
the
cost
that's
associated
with
it.
What's
the
cost,
so
the
typical
cost
ranges-
and
I
don't
have
it
off
the
top
of
my
head.
I
can
get
you
the
exact
number,
but
it's
about
two
thousand
dollars
for
the
nine
month
program.
P
So
while
it
well,
it's
a
good
scholarship
to
have
a
family
still
have
to
pay
65,
especially
in
the
areas
that
we're
talking
about,
would
still
be
a
large
amount.
P
B
Yes,
so
so
what
is
it
200
or
300?
What?
What
is
that?
Because
I
want
to
know
what
I
want
to
know
after
the
scholarship,
what
what
the
family
is
responsible
for.
P
Correct,
basically,
until
the
dismissal,
so
on
early
days
it's
about
1
or
1
30.,
it
equates
to
about
20
hours
a
week.
E
P
Excited
please,
and
so
this
is
our
rock
and
learn
program
that
we,
I
think
you
all
are
familiar
with
it.
But
I'll
give
you
a
brief
synopsis.
We
started
this
program
in
august
to
support
distance
learning
and
for
for
students
that
were
struggling
to
log
on
to
distance
learning
and
also
from
areas
that
would
not
be
able
to
afford
a
program
or
have
the
ability
internet
access
at
home.
P
We
targeted
these
students
through
our
partnerships
with
the
school
districts
through
a
referral
system.
So
all
of
the
students
that
are
enrolled
in
rock
and
learn
qualify
for
a
scholarship
and
the
great
part
of
rock
and
learn
is
the
scholarship
was
at
100.
So
no
families
have
had
to
pay
for
our
rock
and
learn
program,
and
what
we
found
early
on
when
this
program
started
in
august
was
that
the
participation
and
the
demand
shifted
from
what
we
normally
see
from
our
programming.
So
the
the
demand
in
the
roosevelt
area.
P
While
it
started
with
two
or
three
classrooms,
we
kept
seeing
each
week
more
referrals
coming
in
from
alum
rock
union
school
district,
unified
school
district
places
like
franklin
mckinley,
and
we
keep
we
kept
having
to
increase
our
offerings
in
that
area,
while
at
the
same
time
seeing
that
a
very
small
capacity,
a
very
small
percentage
of
families,
were
requesting
the
service
in
our
almaden
area.
P
So
what
this
slide
shows
is
kind
of
a
progression
of
enrollment,
first
from
alviden
versus
roosevelt.
As
you
can
see,
the
first
session
that
rose
at
amaden
didn't
have
any
kids
enrolled
and
in
session
five,
which
is
the
current
session,
only
has
11
kids
enrolled,
while
at
roosevelt
that
number
continued
to
grow
to
where
we're
at
now
at
48
kids
enrolled
and
that's
max
capacity.
We
have
48
kids
at
roosevelt
and
we
have
a
capacity
of
48..
P
So
what
we've
seen
is
that
demand
continued
to
increase
as
kovat
has
dragged
on
and
what
our
department
has
done
is
continued
to
increase
the
offering
at
roosevelt
and
surrounding
areas.
So
we've
started
this
program
at
neighboring
libraries
like
carnegie
branch.
We
have
it
at
welch
community
center.
P
We
have
it
at
hillview
library,
mount
pleasant,
all
the
areas
that
are
supporting
those
school
districts
and
we
continue
to
see
that
demand
increase
in
those
areas
and
the
capacity
reach
100
in
those
areas,
and
that's
definitely
something
that
we've
talked
about
as
a
department
for
the
last
two
or
three
years,
knowing
that
that
this
cost
recovery
and
the
cost
of
our
programs
can
be
a
barrier
for
families
and
if
we
were
able
to
increase
either
a
scholarship
opportunities
or
reduce
fees.
P
P
Yes,
rock
and
learn
is
actually
represented
at
35
pods
throughout
the
entire
city,
so
there's
parks,
locations,
community
locations
and
library
locations.
The
majority
of
them
are
in
the
areas
that
we
were
talking
about
here,
the
roosevelts,
the
seven
trees,
the
mayfairs,
the
hill
view
branch
library,
all
in
the
concentration
of
the
zip
codes
that
we
were
talking
about
with
the
scholarship
need.
There
are
rock
and
learn
at
berryessa
and
at
almaden,
just
not
as
many
and
also
willow,
glen
and
also
every
like.
M
If
I
can
add
a
point
of
clarification,
vice
chair,
how
was
talking
about
the
rock
program
generally
on
the
slide
before
that's
the
after
school
program
that
you
were
getting
the
pricing
on
rock
and
learn
is
an
all
day,
learning
pod
to
support
virtual
distance
learning.
So
it's
a
unique
program
for
us.
It's
not
something
we
would
normally
do,
but
because
we're
doing
it
we're
able
to
pull
some
data
from
it
and
be
able
to
share
that
with
you.
M
E
P
Thanks
john
yeah
and
that's
a
good
point
too.
We
in
normal
times
we
actually
wouldn't
even
be
allowed
to
operate
this
program.
We
are
under
a
waiver,
through
the
state
of
california,
to
be
able
to
offer
a
full
day
child
care
type
program
during
school
hours,
but
typically
as
a
licensed
exempt
organization.
We
wouldn't
even
be
allowed
to
to
be
offering
this
program,
so
it
is
definitely
covid
related.
N
Okay,
so
I
think
that
was
some
pretty
compelling
information
and
we
just
want
to
wrap
it
up
and
really
let
you
know
that
our
next
steps
are
to
address
some
of
these
key
questions
right.
How
do
we
address
the
disparities,
as
well
as
ensure
equitable
access
to
our
recreation
and
our
education
programs?
N
That
we
know
provides
a
stable
and
supportive
environments
for
our
children
and
families,
and
we
want
to
do
that
through
reviewing
the
public
private
merit
categories
with
the
city
manager's
office
and
then
again
assess
the
feasibility
as
we
walk
through
the
budget
process,
which
believe
it
or
not,
is
starting
already
for
fiscal
year,
21
22,
but
we
know
that
there's
great
uncertainty
with
the
financial
health
as
we
get
through
covid.
N
So
this
is
going
to
be
probably
a
month's
long
process
to
determine
how
and
if
we
can
get
to
moving
these
programs
around
in
public-private
merit,
and
so
with
that
we'll
turn
it
back
to
the
council.
Thank
you.
I
Hi,
thank
you,
as
these
were
school
related
issues
and
issues
to
do
with
parents
and
their
kids.
I
hope
you
can
have
a
little
patience
and
me
trying
to
speak
at
this
time.
You
know
I
mentioned
the
idea
a
few
times
that
you
know
this
this
process.
It
can
be
like
a
schoolyard
in
a
way
and
we're
all
kind
of
kids
in
a
way
and
if
you're
respectful
to
the
process,
you
know,
I
hope
this
can
be
a
place
to
you're
forgiving.
I
You
can
be
forgiving
when,
when
like
a
person
in
the
schoolyard,
they
offer
their
ideas
and
and
the
other
kids
go
well.
That's
that's!
Okay!
That's
kind
of
good
thanks!
You
know
so
I
mean
I
I
kind
of
do
that
and
I'm
a
little
flaky.
So
thank
you
for
your
patience
with
myself,
but
to
explain
in
our
public
process.
I
Once
again,
it's
very
much
my
feeling
that,
with
this
upcoming
next
few
years,
you
know
we're
in
kind
of
a
an
extraordinary
strange
set
of
circumstances
and
it's
kind
of
a
time
of
emergency
and
to
try
to
paraphrase
council
person,
esparza's
words
counsel
a
few
days
ago.
You
know
there's
a
time
that
we
practice,
you
know
our
good
practices
as
a
country
and
how
we
respect
how
we
work
and
do
business.
I
B
F
Thank
you
I,
this
is
great.
I
mean
this
dude.
I
know
it's
a
reflection
of
a
lot
of
work
it
it
feels
long
overdue
and-
and
I
think
I
suppose
it's
a
silver
lining
to
some
of
the
ways
that
we've
had
to
adapt-
that
we
have
information
statistics
that
we
can
share
and
learn
from
as
a
city
to
show
that
if
we
can
provide
some
assistance,
people
will
come
that
it
really
is.
F
F
It
was
to
it
was
to
support
the
equitable
distribution
of
city
resources
and
services
and
to
bridge
the
gap
between
cities,
under-resourced,
diverse
communities
in
our
pro
more
prosperous
neighborhoods,
and
to
explore
opportunities
for
bringing
an
equity
lens
to
when
determining
these
resources,
programming
and
access
to
neighborhood
services
would
be
in
our
diverse
communities,
and
so
here
we
are
with
something
that
meets
that
need.
I
think
I
talked
a
lot
about
last
year.
F
The
idea
of
equity,
where
the
city
invested
money
in
building
a
swim
center,
a
beautiful
swim
center,
and
I
at
some
point
once
covet's
over.
I
invite
my
colleagues
to
come
for
a
field
trip
because
it
has
a
really
a
toddler
pool
and
it's
a
it's
a
really
cool
facility
in
in
one
of
the
city's
poorest
neighborhoods,
and
so
that
these
pools
went
unused
because
no
one
in
the
neighborhood
could
afford
what
it
cost
to
use
it.
And
I
know
that
we
all
want
all
of
our
facilities
full.
F
The
whole
city
council
unanimously
voted
not
just
to
create
the
office
of
equity,
but
we
voted
unanimously,
thankfully,
on
an
equity
pledge
that
everyone
here
believed
in
it
and
a
big
part
of
that
was
offering
a
brighter
future
for
our
children
and
their
families,
and
this
is
a
big
step
to
that.
F
So
I'm
I'm.
I
endorse
it
wholeheartedly,
because
I
think
we
need
to
fill
every
center.
Every
facility
in
our
city
should
be
full
of
children
and
families,
just
full.
That's
what
they're
for-
and
I
had
a
couple
of
things
in
the
interest
of
time-
that
I
wanted
to
ask
or
point
out
so
two
things.
I
wanted
to
point
out
that
I
have
a
couple
of
questions,
so
one
is
I'm
gonna
make
my
plug.
F
The
city
council
voted
to
do
some
work
around
a
bond
that
we
will
be
voting
on
next
year,
and
I
think
things
like
this
show
that
we
need
facilities
equitably
distributed
throughout
our
city
as
well,
when
pr
s
did
a
presentation.
F
But
pr
s
did
an
amazing
presentation
with
gis
mapping
and
all
of
that,
but
there
are
parts
of
the
city
that
are
under
resourced
even
today,
and
so
we
can
talk
about
programs
and
we
can
talk
about
facilities
that
either
way
we
need
a
bond.
We
need
additional
revenue
as
a
city
and
it
should
not
be
coming
from
our
poorest
families
that
need
us
the
most.
F
So
two
things
one
is:
you
mentioned
the
preschool,
and
that
really
reminded
me
actually
of
that
amazing
pr
s:
presentation
where
scholarships
play
a
huge
role
in
who
can
participate
in
these
programs.
But
so
does
the
programming
right,
whether
it's
a
half
day
or
a
full
day,
how
we
design
them.
People
that
are
hourly
workers
or
people
that
are
working,
two
or
three
jobs
to
make
ends
meet.
Don't
have
the
type
of
flexibility
that
that
someone
in
almaden.
F
Have
where
they,
you
know
three
or
four
hours
a
day
is
enough
for
them
right,
and
so
my
question
is:
are
we
also?
I
know
this
is
scholarships,
but
are
we
also
looking
at
how
we
design
some
of
our
programming,
including
some
of
the
programs
that
were
quoted
today,
to
allow
lower
income
or
hourly
wage
folks
to
participate
in
the.
M
L
F
If
you're,
you
know
you're,
particularly
if
you're
a
blue
collar
worker
that
doesn't
have
that
much
flexibility.
So
so
I
agree,
I'm
all
in
on
scholarships.
I
want
every
facility
full
in
our
city,
but
I
also
think
how
we
design
some
of
these
programs
also
affects
there's
an
equity
lens
in
how
we
design
them.
We
have
some
frankly
experts
on
our
own
city
staff
that
could
offer
that
insight
into
adding
some
some
more
equity
in
terms
of
the
hours
that
we
that
we
offer.
M
So
so,
yes,
we
have
been
having
those
conversations,
in
fact,
council
member
arenas
couldn't
be
here
today.
This
is
a
particular
passion
of
hers
as
well,
so
we,
you
know
we
when
we
adopted
the
new
standards
for
early
education.
M
M
We
just
have
to
make
that
decision
as
a
city.
So
at
some
point
we'll
probably
get
to
that
conversation-
I
don't
know-
I
don't
know
if
angel
knows
when
we're
doing
priority
setting
next
again,
but
but
just
the
sheer
size
of
of
doing
that
of
making
that
transition.
M
I
think
warrants
that
discussion.
That
said,
we
fully
support
the
idea
we
we
agree.
We
as
a
city
should
be
figuring
out
a
way
to
do
this,
and
we
agree
that
it's
not
convenient
to
have
preschool,
be.
You
know
for
three
hours
three
days
a
week
in
the
morning:
it's
not
that
convenient
for
a
lot
of
people.
It's
a
lot
more
convenient
to
start
at
the
beginning
of
the
day
and
come
pick
your
kid
up
at
the
end
of
the
day
so
angel.
D
You
know,
I
I
think
priority
setting
is
one
avenue.
You
know.
The
recommendation
today
is
really
centered
around
at
least
starting
this
conversation
through
this
budget
year
process.
Just
given
the
impacts
that
kovit
is
having,
but
john
is
right.
I
mean
this
is
a
big
volume
of
work
even
to
get
to
that
0-21
around
the
price.
D
The
the
pricing
memo
that
did
take
a
good
18
months
to
get
to
that
point
and
again
some
context
there
that
was
all
developed
in
response
to
the
the
aftermath
of
the
great
recession
right.
We
had
lost
about
50
percent
of
prns
staffing
revenues
were
way
down
and
it
was
really
we
had
shuttered
about
42
community
centers.
It
was.
It
was
a
way
to
basically
just
keep
the
the
department
afloat
and
to
make
sure
services
were
being
provided.
D
You
know
we
could
really
meet
the
moment
in
a
more
aggressive
way
and
make
sure
that
we're
serving
people,
but
there
is
a
cost
to
it,
and
then
we
we
would
need
to
kind
of
frame
that
conversation
with
the
mayor
and
council
to
ensure
that
that
becomes
a
priority,
because
it
definitely
will
have
budget
and
fiscal
implications.
If
we
do
that
and
then
I
also
want
to
remind
us
that
you
know
when
hard
times
come,
usually
pr
s
and
services
provided
by
pureness
in
the
library
are
oftentimes
the
first
to
get
cut
right.
D
So
sometimes
so.
We
also
have
to
kind
of
you
know,
plan
with
that
in
mind
as
well
right,
because
then
we
kind
of
set
up
the
expectation
that
services
will
be
available
and
then
they're
the
first
to
go
when
you
know
times
get
hard.
So
those
are
all
the
kind
of
key
kind
of
some
of
the
key
red
flags.
As
john
said,
they're
not
insurmountable,
but
I
think
we
have
to
go
into
this
with
eyes
wide
open.
F
Yeah,
what
you're
saying
I
get
what
you're
saying
I
I
I
the
reason
I
bring
up
preschool
and-
and
you
know
unfortunately
councilmember
out
in
us-
isn't
here
and
I
hope
she
recovers
and
comes
back
to
us
soon,
but
but
that
example
that
was
used
earlier
this
year
was
seven
trees.
F
So
you
know,
and
and
it's
huge
the
difference
between
the
almaden
valley,
utilization
and
seven
trees
is
enormous
and
it
has
to
do
with
the
hours
as
well
as
the
cost
and
and
those
for
me,
for
certain
programs
go
hand
in
hand
and
at
the
time
I
asked
if
we
were
talking
to
first
five
and
other
partners
in
the
community
who
can
bring
not
just
their
expertise
but
additional
re,
their
own
and
additional
resources.
Right.
We
all
know
jolene
is
a
powerhouse
and
and
amazing,
but
you
know
we
have
talked.
F
I
have
had
conversations
with
her
about
leveraging
other
funding
as
well
to
do
certain
things.
I
think
we
just
need
to
have
that
conversation.
I
I
don't
know
what
that
is,
but
it
is
something
that
we
need
to
address.
Otherwise,
these
disparities
around
preschool
are
going
to
continue
and,
as
far
as
you
know,
choices
that
we
have
to
make
you
know
we
have
had
this
isn't
his
fizz.
F
This
is
nse,
but
we
have,
as
a
city
council
has
have
had
a
lot
of
discussions
about
what
we
put
and
where
right
we
just
approved
some
urban
area
security
initiative
grants
around
technology
for
the
police
to
use
right.
We
do
we
do
a
lot.
The
police
have
been
out
right.
The
police
have
been,
thankfully,
on
the
streets
every
day
during
covid
right.
F
What
where
we
need
to
get
to
as
a
community
is
where
we
are
investing
in
these
areas
and
not
just
thinking
police,
but
that
we
are
providing
programs
for
parents
to
send
their
kids
to
so
their
kids.
Aren't,
you
know
getting
up
to
no
good
while
their
parents
are
working,
two
or
three
jobs
right,
like
the
these
programs,
are
a
lot
more
than
buildings
there
and
they're
about
families
and
neighborhoods,
and
and
giving
people
better
choices
and
opportunities
in
life
right.
F
So
so
I'm
happy
to
have
that
discussion
in
council,
but
I
just
wanted
to
bring
that
up
today,
because
I
think
we
also
need
to
start
talking
about
how
these
programs
impact
our
families
and
our
neighborhoods.
In
fact,
this
saturday,
with
with
the
guidance
of
our
county
eoc,
I'm
going
to
be
out
in
a
neighborhood
that
has
had
an
increase
in
violence
and
we're
going
to
do
some.
F
F
They
can
change
a
family
and
a
neighborhood,
and
we
also
need
to
start
talking
about
it
that
way,
because
it's
not
just
prns
in
a
box.
It's
about
choices
that
we
make
as
a
city
that
when
we
make
choices
in
one
way
and
we
bring
certain
types
of
resources
in
one
way
that
we
also
bring
certain
investments
and
neighborhoods
in
another
way.
So
we
can
just
lift
them
up,
because
we
can't
just
arrest
our
way
out
of
problems.
We
need
to
also
invest
in
some
neighborhoods
in
our
community
I'll
stop
there.
Thank
you.
N
If
I
could
just
follow
up
on
two
things,
one
council,
councilmember
esparza,
we
have
a
deep
relationship
with
first
five.
They
have
been
walking
alongside
us
and
funding
us
as
it
relates
to
meeting
the
quality
standards.
N
Investing
in
the
curriculum,
doing
deep
level
training
last
year
and
continuing
it
through
kovid
has
been
a
phenomenal
effort
by
staff.
So
you
know
when,
when
we
come
back
and
discuss
quality
standards
in
the
spring,
we
were
hoping
to
show
the
first
year
of
pre
and
post-test.
We
were
unable
to
do
the
post
back
in
april
may,
because
we
just
didn't
know
what
what
coveted
you
know.
N
We
just
had
to
stop
meeting
with
our
kiddos,
but
we
picked
it
back
up
again
at
the
beginning
of
this
school
year
and
started
those
pretests
again,
so
that
is
all
due
to
a
deep
relationship
with
first
five
and
then
I
just
the
second
thing
I
wanted
to
say
was:
as
john
talked
about
the
cost
and
and
the
challenge
is.
We
can't
forget
that
as
a
municipality,
we
are
under
the
license
exempt
model,
and
so
that's
what
really
drives
our
hours.
So
that's
why
we
just
need
to
it's.
It's
also.
N
F
P
Council,
member
carrasco,
if
I
could
just
give
you
an
updated
number
that
you
were
looking
for
for
the
cost
of
rock,
so
the
exact
amount
for
a
monthly
payment
for
a
non-scholarship
family
is
264
per
month
and
for
a
scholarship
eligible
family.
That's
172.,
172.,.
B
P
B
Yeah,
well,
I
think
you
know
I'm
going
to
make
it
brief,
so
we
can
get
on
with
the
other
presentation
and
I
have
another
another
engagement
coming
up
soon.
I
just
wanted
to
let
everybody
know
about
it,
but
you
know
it
it.
It's
a
little
surprising.
I
have
to
just
be
very
transparent
when,
when
you
describe
the
the
program
rock
it's
the
kind
of
program,
that's
so
ideal-
and
you
know
this-
I'm
preaching
to
the
choir-
there's
nothing,
nothing
new,
nothing!
B
You
know
this
isn't
rocket
science
when
you
think
of
after
school
homework,
support
programs,
you
know
and
you
think,
of
the
achievement
gap,
the
educational
gap,
the
opportunity
gap
and
you
look
at
at
schools
on
on
the
east
side,
and
you
look
at
all
the
different
zip
codes.
I
don't
need
to
get
into
all
of
that
you're
working
in
those
zip
codes.
You
know
what
I'm
talking
about
I've
got.
You
know
several
council
members
on
here.
They
know
what
I'm
talking
about.
B
You
know
some
of
us
have
been
on
school
boards
and
what
fueled
us
to
get
on
the
school
boards
was
exactly
those
those
statistics
and
when
you
talk
about,
you
know,
stem
activities
and
we're
in
the
middle
of
silicon
valley.
And
you
go
that's
exactly
what
we
want
to
expose
our
kids
to
and
we
we
work
so
hard
to
figure
out.
How
do
we
expose
our
kiddos
to
stem
activities
or
steam
activities?
B
They
don't
have
the
funding
or
they
don't
have
the
knowledge
or
they
just
don't,
have
the
access
or
they're
too
busy
they're
working
or
they
simply
just
don't
know,
because
they
don't
know
they
don't
know
what
they
don't
know
and,
and
so,
when
I
look
at
you
know
what
you
just
gave
me:
a
hundred
264
dollars
for
a
family
in
amaden
valley
to
pay
for
for
an
after-school
program
that
comes
out
to
three
dollars
and
30
cents,
an
hour
for
an
enrichment
program
which
is
tutoring
and
etc,
etc,
etc.
B
And
so
you
know,
there's
got
to
be
a
better
way
to
be
able
to
provide
this
for
the
the
for
all
our
our
kids
in
those
zip
codes
that
are
really
lagging
behind.
We've
got
to
figure
out
this
formula
and
then,
in
terms
of
the
preschool
you
know,
I've
said
it
before
at
council.
B
I
was
a
mom
that
was
struggling
that
almost
got
fired,
because
I
actually
put
one
of
my
my
kiddos
in
preschool
the
youngest
one,
and
she
was
in
a
three-day
preschool
for
three
and
a
half
hours,
and
I
had
to
rush
out
of
out
of
work
in
order.
It
was
the
most
inconvenient
it
doesn't
take
a
mom
into
account
and
I
didn't
even
have
an
expectation
that
it
would
be
a
full
day.
But
it
was
three
days
a
week.
B
It
was
just
it
felt
very
insensitive
and
it
was
very
frustrating
and
it
was.
I
did
it
more
for
my
child
in
order
for
her
to
get
stimulation
and
get
out
of
the
house,
but
it
felt
like,
like
you,
were
really
forcing
my
hand
in
terms
of
being
able
to
provide
a
stimulating
experience
and
and
having
to
choose
between
my
daughter
and
my
job.
B
I
I
almost
got
fired
because
of
it,
and
so
I
just
I
just
want
us
to
keep
that
in
mind
and
when
I
look
at
the
hours
being
offered
in
other
centers
it
again.
It's
this
sense
of
inequity
and
you
all
know
about
equity
because
you
fight
for
it
as
well.
I
know
you
are
you're
our
partners
in
it,
and
so
we
again,
I
don't
want
this
to
go
to
priority
setting.
I
don't
think
that
this
is
a
priority
setting
item.
B
I
think
this
is
an
administrative
item
that
we
need
to
figure
out
in
terms
of
how
we,
how
we
move
our
numbers
and
how
we
make
those
work
for
our
centers
and
for
our
most
vulnerable
communities.
I
don't
think
that
this
is
a
priority
setting
item,
so
we
need
to
put
our
heads
together
to
to
figure
that
one
out.
So
the
last
thing
I'll
say
is
that
last
graph
that
you
showed
the
rock
and
roll
or
not
the
rock
and
roll
sorry,
what's
it
called.
P
B
It's
there's
no
better
graph
than
that,
one
to
illustrate
how
you
build
it
and
they
will
come.
B
Our
families
are
ready,
ready
to
rock
and
roll
in
a
rock
and
learn
type
of
environment.
You
build
it.
They'll
come
they're,
they're,
ready,
they're,
hungry
they're,
they're
open
and
especially
if
you
have
a
good
quality
program,
they're
ready
to
be
fed,
and
so
we
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
feeding
them
the
right
kinds
of
nutritional
type
of
programs,
and
what
I
mean
by
that
is
we
got
to
feed
their
their
minds
with
the
right
stuff.
B
So
you
know,
good
quality
programs
is
what
we
need
in
these
in
these
neighborhoods,
especially
again,
I'm
going
to
constantly
now
look
through
the
lens
of
covid
pre
pre-covered
versus
now
post
covet.
So
now
everything
is
going
to
be
through.
The
lens
of
covet
is
covet
is
just
going
to
ravish
our
communities,
just
ravish
our
communities,
and
so
what
are
we
going
to
do
to
make
sure
that
these
kiddos
are
not
being
left
behind
in
in
the
in?
B
You
know,
when
the
waters
recede,
the
waters
of
covet
recede
and
we
make
an
assessment
and
we
take
inventory,
and
we
suddenly
realize
all
the
devastation
that
it
leaves
behind.
I'm
not
just
talking
about
the
health
devastation,
but
the
devastation
that
it
leaves
for
all
of
us
who
are
locked
up
in
our
own
home
and
suffering
through
mental
health
issues
and
and
now
academic
decline
and
etc,
etc.
And
so
we've
got
to
look
through
it
through
that
lens
of
of
of
cobit
and
how
it
it
discriminates
and
just
targets.
B
F
Oh
okay
and
I'll,
so
my
question
is
so
the
next
steps
are.
This
comes
back
to
us
in
the
budget
policy.
Correct,
so
we'll
get
see
this.
This
will
next
come
before
us
in
the
budget
process.
Correct.
M
Presuming
presuming
administratively,
we
advance
stuff,
more
scholarship,
money
or
some
programming.
You
know,
there's
a
process
we
go
through
to
to
get
to
what's
presented
to
you,
but
this
would
definitely
be
the
next
place
to
address
it,
whether
we
address
it
as
administration
or
you
wanted
to
address
it
as
a
council.
So
our
intent
is
to
try
to
address
this.
But
again,
as
we
mentioned
early
on
the
budget
ahead
of
us
is
very
uncertain.
We
don't
know
what
we're
going
to
get
yet
we
don't
even
know
what
targets
we
may
or
may
not
have.
F
Okay,
so
so,
then,
given
that
I
I'll
move
to
accept
the
report,
but
have
this
come
back
to
us
with
some
status
since
the
third
category
is
the
budget
process,
and
I
think
this
committee
should
get
an
update
before
that.
D
We
could
bring
this
back
to
nsc
for
a
check-in
or
what
we
could
do
is
take
the
recommendation
in
the
presentation
and
and
the
ones
that,
in
my
opinion,
are
the
most
have
have
the
ability
to
have
the
most
traction
are
the
recommendations
to
move
some
of
these
specific
programs
from
private
to
merit,
because
the
way
that
works
internally
is
that
we
would
have
to
review
that
when
you
look
at
0-21,
which
is
the
pricing
and
revenue
policy,
there's
a
percentage
of
cost
recovery,
that's
associated
with
each
of
those,
a
public
type
of
program,
a
merit
program
and
a
private
one.
D
D
That
review
can
be
done
internally
and
then
could
also
be
then
turned
into
either
an
mba
through
the
budget
process
which
they
could
be
reviewed
and
analyzed
by
you
all
and
the
council
during
that
budget
process.
So
that
would
that
would
probably
be
the
the
most
efficient
way,
because
now
we
could
turn
this
into
an
actual
budget
referral,
that's
reviewed,
and
then
staff
can
do
the
analysis
and
then
come
back
with
a
more
solid
recommendation
around.
F
F
I
don't
ever
want
to
go
back
to
2009
where
we
put
buildings
before
people
particularly
buildings
before
poor
people,
and
I
think
that
we're
going
to
have
a
lot-
and
I
think
at
least
the
folks
that
are
on
nse-
should
be
able
to
be
able
to
go
more
in
depth
on
this
issue
before
or
before
or
as
it
comes
to
the
full
council.
So
I'll.
Leave
that
to
you
angel,
because
I
know
timing
becomes
an
issue
and
I
don't
want
that
to
get
in
between
it.
F
D
Yeah
yeah,
I
know
I
I
think
that's
a
good
point.
So
so
why
don't
we
do
this?
You
know
we'll
go
back
and
we'll
we'll
figure
out
what
is
the
most
expedient
way,
I
think
there's
a
possibility
for
us
to
maybe
do
even
if
it's
a
verbal
update
or
a
high
level
update,
perhaps
I'm
looking
at
the
agenda,
perhaps
in
april
the
april
agenda
and
then
on
a
parallel
track.
D
Refer
this
perhaps
through
your
motion
here
to
the
budget
process,
and
that
way
you
know,
there's
coordination
through
nsc
for
additional
input
and
then
on
a
parallel
track.
This
goes
to
the
full
budget
process
for
review.
In
that
way,
we
don't
lose
any
time
between
now
and
the
adoption
of
the
next
budget.
D
F
Okay,
I'm
fine
with
that
to
have
the
nsc
and
I'll
read
the
powerpoint
as
opposed
to
the
memo,
because
that
the
powerpoint
calls
for
the
review,
plus
the
budget
assessment
and
so
and
move
to
recommend
moving
this
forward
so
that
that
will
be
the
motion.
Plus
this
comes
back
to
nse
in
april.
B
Okay
got
a
second
madame
clerk.
O
B
B
B
E
Thank
you
vice
chair.
This
is
rosalind
huey
director
for
planning,
building
and
code
enforcement,
and
we
are
glad
to
be
for
the
committee
this
afternoon
to
actually
provide
you
status
reports
on
two
city
council
priority
items.
E
So
this
afternoon
we
will
be
providing
information
on
our
scope
for
our
work
plan,
we'll
be
sharing
some
of
the
items,
the
actions
that
we
have
completed
as
well
as
sharing
with
you,
what
our
next
steps
will
be.
So
with
that,
I
am
going
to
actually
turn
the
presentation
over
to
oscar
carrillo.
He
is
our
interim
division
manager
in
code
enforcement,
so
oscar.
K
Thank
you
rosalind
and
thank
you
vice
chair
carrasco
and
committee
members.
My
name
is
oscar
crullo.
I
am
the
interim
code
enforcement
division
manager
and
I'm
here
to
present
the
status
report
on
council
priority
number
12.,
flavor
tobacco
and
e-cigarettes,
and
protecting
our
youth
from
the
e-cigarette
epidemic
in
support
alongside
me
are
joyce
villalobos
community
intervention
lead
with
the
santa
clara
county
public
health
department,
as
well
as
leslie
zeller's
policy
consultant
with
santa
clara
public
health
department.
K
K
on
february
25th
2020
during
council
policy
priority
session.
The
previous
proposal
put
forward
by
council
member
carrasco
was
combined
with
the
proposal
put
forth
by
council
member
foley
and
was
added
to
the
council
priority
list
as
priority
number
12,
the
flavor
tobacco
and
e-cigarettes,
and
protecting
our
youth
from
the
e-cigarette
epidemic.
K
Further,
on
the
background,
I'm
very
proud
to
report
that
we
were
awarded
a
grant
through
the
santa
clara
county
public
health
department
to
help
fund
our
efforts.
These
funds
originate
from
state
prop
56
and
prop
99
tobacco
tax
revenues
and
are
distributed
through
the
santa
clara
county
public
health
department.
K
Signatures
are
currently
being
counted
on
a
referendum
that
would
delay
the
implementation
of
senate
bill
793
until
november
2022,
at
which
time
there
will
be
an
initiative
on
the
ballot
to
repeal
the
law.
Now
this
does
not
preclude
local
jurisdictions
from
implementing
strict,
stricter
restrictions.
K
K
So
some
of
the
data
that
we
gathered,
we
utilized
an
online
mapping
tool
developed
by
the
stanford
prevention
prevention,
research
center
and
green
and
phone
networks
to
estimate
how
many
businesses
fell
within
either
500
feet
or
1
000
feet
from
schools.
K
68
businesses
were
identified
to
be
within
500
feet
of
its
school,
and
188
businesses
were
determined
to
be
within
1
000
feet
of
the
school.
We
are
still
working
on
gathering
data
around
retailer
to
retailer
proximity,
as
well
as
trying
to
get
a
breakdown
on
how
this
impacts
each
individual
council
district.
K
On
the
other
side
of
the
slide,
you
can
see
some
of
the
potential
impacts.
Please
note
that,
pending
this
referendum,
the
12
vape
only
stores
would
not
be
required
to
close,
even
if
the
law
went
into
effect.
On
january
1st,
those
stores
may
still
limit
the
type
of
products
that
may
be
sold
and
change
their
business
models
in
order
to
implement
any
changes.
K
Now
for
our
next
steps.
Next
slide,
please
we're
going
to
continue
to
complete
work
plan
items,
including
research,
data
and
analysis
and
as
well
as
stakeholder
outreach.
We're
going
to
coordinate
with
the
city
attorney's
office
and
the
public
health
department
to
develop.
Reports
proposed
ordinance
amendments
for
consideration
by
the
end
of
fiscal
year.
2020
2021
we're
also
going
to
assess
and
develop
budget
and
fee
proposals,
as
appropriate
for
additional
resources
needed
to
support
the
new
tobacco
retail
license
program
as
part
of
the
annual
budget
process
for
fiscal
year
2021-2022.
G
You're
good
that
was
correct
good
afternoon
council
members
committee
and
staff,
I'm
margo
seidner,
the
ceo
of
breathe,
california
of
the
bay
area,
golden
gate
and
central
coast,
and
I'm
here
today
to
urge
you
to
forward
the
report
on
flavor
tobacco
and
e-cigarettes,
with
the
recommendation
for
the
tobacco
retail
license
to
the
full
council
for
action.
G
G
Since
big
tobacco
was
successful
in
its
efforts
to
get
a
balance
measure
and
the
state's
sb
793
will
now
not
go
into
effect
until
after
november
2022
election
local
jurisdictions
must
act
to
prevent
the
millions
of
youth
from
getting
hooked
by
flavored
tobacco
in
over
30
years
of
tobacco
control
work.
This
youth
tobacco
use
epidemic
is
the
worst
I
have
ever
experienced.
G
So
I
want
to
urge
you
to
send
this
to
the
council
and
thank
you
for
your
services
at
this
crucial
time.
B
Thank
you
so
much
ms
margo
next
speaker
is
mr
brian
davis.
Q
Good
afternoon,
council
members,
my
name
is
brian
davis
and
I'm
a
member
of
the
tobacco
free
coalition
of
santa
clara
county.
Thank
you,
council,
member
carrasco,
for
your
leadership.
I
remember
the
powerful
personal
story.
You
told
at
a
rules
committee
hearing
in
2015
that
helped
to
move
forward
a
proposal
to
end
the
distribution
of
free
e-cigarettes
and
one
pack
for
one
buck
tobacco
coupons
in
san
jose
today.
Q
A
similar
issue
lies
before
this
committee:
protecting
youth
from
e-cigarette
devices
and
flavored
tobacco
products,
including
menthol
cigarettes
that
make
it
easier
to
get
addicted
to
nicotine
and
harder
to
quit.
One
thing
to
recognize
is
that
underage
youth
are
getting
e-cigarettes
from
retailers.
A
study
from
the
truth.
Truth
initiative
in
2018
showed
that
74
percent
of
youth
surveyed
were
getting
dual
e-cigarettes
from
physical
retail
outlets
and
only
six
percent
were
getting
them
online.
Q
Q
Nearly
50
jurisdictions
throughout
the
bay
area
have
voted
to
end
sales
of
flavored
tobacco
products,
and
the
vast
majority
have
chosen
not
to
exempt
men
fall
or
so-called
adult
only
stores.
The
state
of
california
has
done
the
same
and
weren't
not
for
the
tobacco
industry
funded
referendum
which
will
qualify.
They
have
plenty
of
signatures.
Q
B
Thank
you,
sir
next
is
miss
bonnie
halpern.
B
Felsher,
actually
that
name
just
dropped
off
miss.
Mr
brian
did
I
really
call
brian
davis.
E
B
Mr
davis
just
spoke
okay,
thank
you.
So
much
next
up
is
srikar
shintala.
O
Good
afternoon,
all
my
name
is
srika
chintala
and
I'm
a
legislative
ambassador
for
the
american
cancer
society.
For
the
sake
of
my
school
duties,
I'm
going
to
be
combining
my
request,
both
for
the
tobacco
policy
and
the
smoke-free
housing
policy.
O
O
He
didn't
show
up
to
school
for
that
entire
period
and
many
of
us
were
worried
sick
and
we
could
only
imagine
how
his
family
felt
as
well-
and
this
is
not
okay.
Tobacco
and
smoking
has
the
pow
the
power
to
take
away
children
from
their
families,
and
we
cannot
let
this
happen.
We
urge
that
the
council
make
the
existing
tobacco
retailer
license
policy,
a
strong
ordinance
by
including
key
provisions
to
protect
the
youth
of
our
community.
To
be
more
specific,
we
want
four
provisions.
O
We
want
to
ban
all
flavored
tobacco
products,
including
hookah
in
all
locations.
We
want
to
restrict
e-cigarette
and
vape
product
sales.
We
want
to
restrict
the
density
of
tobacco,
retailers
near
schools
and
existing
retailers,
and
finally,
we
want
to
eliminate
the
adult-only
store
exemption.
Why
would
we
want
to
risk
the
lives
of
so
many
with
such
poison?
Furthermore,
we
urge
the
council
to
move
forward
with
the
comprehensive
policy
that
protects
all
san
jose
multi-unit
housing
residents,
including
duplexes
apartments,
condos
and
townhomes.
O
Remember
all
smoke
is
smoke
and
is
harmful
regardless,
if
it's
from
cigarettes,
vape
products
or
marijuana,
there
are
often
many
children
that
live
with
their
families
in
these
type
of
multi-unit
houses,
and
the
last
thing
we
want
is
them
to
develop
these
diseases
due
to
the
secondhand
smoke.
Thank
you
for
your
time
and
I
hope
you
take
these
into
consideration.
J
J
Many
stores
carry
extremely
enticing
advertisements
that
are
placed
outside
these
shops
and
especially
near
schools,
are
really
attracting
a
large
amount
of
youth,
plus
on
top
of
that,
with
not
being
screened
for
id,
youth
are
very
easily
able
to
get
a
hold
of
such
products.
Therefore,
I
support
these
proposed
regulations
to
make
sure
accessibility
is
limited
and,
in
turn,
protect
youth
from
the
epidemic.
B
Thank
you
so
much
vanessa,
marvin.
R
Hi,
council
members,
my
name
is
vanessa
marvin
and
I'm
a
san
jose
resident
in
district
six
and
a
parent
of
two
kids.
In
addition,
I'm
here
speaking
as
the
co-chair
of
the
tobacco-free
coalition
of
santa
clara
county,
which
consists
of
organizations
and
individuals
who
care
about
the
tobacco
issue,
including
health
care
agencies,
hospitals,
local
nonprofits,
community
agencies
and
residents.
R
But
I
think
anyone
who
has
any
experience
with
teenagers
know
that
teens
are
less
and
less
focused
on
the
words
their
parents
say
and
more
on
the
outside
influences.
So
we
need
to
work
together
as
a
community
to
help
parents
and
not
just
point
fingers
at
them
as
a
reminder.
Back
in
november
2018,
the
surgeon,
general
and
the
fda
declared
youth,
e-cigarette
use
and
epidemic
in
the
united
states.
R
In
addition,
I
want
to
remind
you
that,
despite
what
people
may
say
as
part
of
this
process,
these
are
not
the
vape
products
are
not
fda,
approved
quit
smoking
devices.
It
is,
in
fact,
our
coalition
partner
organizations
who
work
diligently
to
provide
cessation
services
to
our
community
and
not
debate
stores.
R
Our
coalition
has
worked
with
other
communities
across
the
county.
Who've
already
stepped
up
to
protect
their
residents
from
these
harmful
products.
Santa
clara
county,
cupertino,
altos,
los
gatos,
palo,
alto
and
sunnyvale
have
all
restricted.
Flavor
tobacco
and
seven
cities
in
the
county
have
banned
the
sale
of
vaping
products
in
their
city.
E
E
E
I
Hi,
thank
you.
These
are
issues
that
have
been
dating
back
for
quite
a
while,
and
there
was
a
very
interesting
city.
I
think,
rules
in
open
government
meeting,
maybe
back
in
september,
of
2019
on
overall
cigarette
issues,
and
you
know
the
flavor
tobacco.
I
fully
understand
what
you
can
work
towards
and
I
think
the
overall
efforts
to
end
tobacco
use
is
really
important
and
it's
a
lot
as
a
city
that
you're
taking
on
the
to
do
that.
I
So
I
thank
you
for
that
and
the
argument
was
made
that
e-cigarettes
do
have
a
way
to
wean
a
person
off
of
cigarettes
themselves,
and
maybe
the
future
of
e-cigarettes
is
as
a
prescribed
use.
Maybe
that's
something
to
think
about
for
the
future,
and
I'm
interested
in
in
you
know
really
to
understand.
You
know
both
sides
of
an
argument
and
an
issue,
and
I
think
the
the
september
2019
city
rules
and
open
government
meeting
is
a
way
to
do
that.
I
It
sounds
like
you
move
forward
on
the
issue
of
how
to
work
on
it
here
in
san
jose,
and
I
congratulate
yourselves
for
that,
and
you
know
I
think
it's
for
the
best
that
to
work
for
better
health
is,
is
for
the
best,
and
I
think
tobacco
use
was
meant
only
for
a
very
limited
use
in
our
lives
special
occasions,
and
so
good
luck
in
how
we
develop
how
to
how
to
deal
with
this
issue.
Thank
you.
B
J
Thank
you
good
afternoon,
council,
members
and
staff.
My
name
is
taylor
chasnoy,
and
I
am
an
emergent
community
leader
intern
at
breed
california
of
the
bay
area
and
a
student
at
santa
clara
university,
I'm
speaking
on
behalf
of
the
emerging
community
leader
team
and
as
a
student
who
has
been
exposed
to
the
rippling
effects
of
secondhand
smoke.
J
J
Instead
of
trying
to
isolate
the
problem,
only
among
those
who
engage
in
smoking,
the
school
felt
the
best
solution
was
to
monitor
bathroom
usage.
This
was
a
location
where
most
students
would
vape,
especially
with
others.
As
a
result,
only
one
to
two
students
could
use
the
bathroom
at
a
time
in
a
school
full
of
2500
students.
This
drastically
affected
everyone's
ability
to
learn
as
going
to
the
bathroom
would
cause
people
to
wait
up
to
an
hour
in
line
during
class
time.
J
J
I
have
no
doubt
that
this
is
not
an
uncommon
occurrence
in
high
schools
in
san
jose
and
across
the
nation
I
have
witnessed
my
close
friends
manage
their
life
around
their
jewel
or
puff
bar,
and
this
was
often
ignited
from
just
a
single
second
hand:
exposure
to
smoking.
I
urge
you
city,
council
members
to
ban
the
sale
of
flavored
tobacco
products
near
all.
Schools
use
sensitive
areas
and
multi-unit
housing
through
the
mitigation
of
sales.
J
In
these
impressionable
areas,
it
can
help
lower
the
likelihood
of
young
people
engaging
in
smoking
practices
and
continuing
to
perpetuate
the
probability
of
other
at-risk
groups,
secondhand
exposure
as
a
student
that
is
on
their
way
to
enter
the
real
world.
My
hope
for
the
next
generation
is
that
they
will
never
have
to
watch
their
friends
slowly
become
addicted
to
nicotine
right
in
front
of
their
eyes
and
face
the
detrimental
effects
of
secondhand
smoking.
B
Thank
you.
Taylor
next
speaker
is
amaya
wooding
welcome.
A
Good
afternoon,
council
members,
my
name
is
amaya
wooding.
I
use
she
her
pronouns
and
I
co-chair
proudly
against
tobacco.
The
bay
area's
lgbtq
plus
tobacco
control
coalition
over
90
percent
of
people
who
smoke
cigarettes
daily
started
using
tobacco
when
they
were
too
young
to
legally
buy
it.
For
that
precociousness
they
get
a
lifelong
nicotine
addiction,
that's
serious,
but
it's
entirely
preventable.
A
I
think
that
anything
that
we
can
do
to
delay
that
first
try
or
get
it
to
never
happen
is
a
massive
win
not
only
for
that
person's
health,
but
also
the
health
of
their
family
and
the
health
of
their
community.
At
the
same
time,
lgbtq
youth
first
try
tobacco
at
a
lower
age
and
at
a
higher
rate
than
their
peers.
Why
is
that?
It's
stressful
to
be
a
young
person
who's
different,
especially
if
school
or
home
or
both
are
unsupportive
environments
and
tobacco
is
widely
available
as
a
coping
mechanism.
A
There
is
so
much
data
out
now
on
how
the
startup
products
of
choice
for
young
people
are
e-cigarettes
and
other
flavored
tobacco
products.
Most
youth
start
with
the
flavored
product
and
young
people
who
have
ever
used
an
e-cigarette
are
up
to
seven
times
more
likely
to
try
cigarettes,
the
traditional
combustible
kind
relative
to
those
who
have
never
used
an
e-cigarette.
A
So
if
you
put
away
these
products,
you
block
the
pipeline
and
you'll
save
lives
later
on,
and
as
a
final
note,
I
do
remember
when
this
item
was
brought
up
last
september
and
I'm
very
happy
that
it's
made
it
this
far.
Thank
you
especially
to
council,
member
carrasco
and
your
staff
for
dedication
to
community
health
and
equity.
Thank
you.

you

education
program.
I
am
also
a
san
jose
resident.
I
would
like
a
letter
on
behalf
of
our
peer
advocate
advisory
council
member
who
couldn't
be
here
today
due
to
school.
However,
she
gave
me
permission
to
read
the
letter.
J
Dear
council
members,
my
name
is
ira
gupta
and
I
am
a
15
year
old
resident
of
san
jose.
I
attend
evergreen
valley,
high
school
and
I'm
a
member
of
the
pure
advocate
advisory
council
or
pac.
I
urge
you
to
protect
young
people
by
strengthening
your
tobacco
retailer
licensing
laws
and
restricts
flavored
products
in
the
city
of
san
jose.
J
Imagine
you
decide
to
go
to
your
school's
bathroom
when
you
step
inside,
you
immediately
smell
a
mix
of
both
a
fruity
and
smoky
substance.
It's
the
smell
of
a
flavored
vape
product.
But
how
are
you
even
getting
these
products?
Social
media
is
not
only
good
for
staying
in
touch
with
your
friends.
It's
also
good
for
getting
harmful
and
potentially
addicting
tobacco
products.
Teens
can
also
get
products
from
local
dealers
or
even
share
products
with
their
friends.
J
During
this
challenging
time,
students
sharing
tobacco
products
is
even
more
harmful,
even
than
it
already
is
and
can
help
spread
the
corona
virus
as
a
high
schooler
and
even
as
a
middle
schooler.
I
have
seen
and
heard
many
of
my
peers
using
flavored
tobacco
products.
Using
these
products
in
school
not
only
harms
the
user's
education
but
harms
the
education
of
those
around
them
as
well.
Besides,
nicotine
being
harmful
to
the
developing
brain
students,
leave
class
or
their
activities
to
go,
use
a
tobacco
product
and
it's
usually
a
flavored
one.
J
J
So
I
urge
you
to
strengthen
the
tobacco
retailer
licensing
laws
by
restricting
e-cigarette
and
vape
product
sales
and
the
density
of
tobacco
retailers
near
schools
and
ban
all
flavored
tobacco
products,
including
hookah
in
all
locations
in
san
jose,
sincerely
ira,
gupta,
15
pack.
Member.
Thank
you
so
much.
B
Thank
you
so
much
for
that
tim
gibbs
welcome.
R
M
You
yeah
this
is
tim
gibbs,
I'm
with
the
campaign
for
tobacco,
tobacco-free,
kids
and
prohibiting
the
sale
of
flavored
tobacco
products,
including
menthol
cigarettes,
and
all
retailers
is
a
critical
step
that
will
help
protect
children
living
in
san
jose
from
the
unrelenting
efforts
by
the
tobacco
industry
to
hook
them
to
a
deadly
addiction.
You
know
we
were
so
close
to
having
these
protections
with
the
passage
of
sb793
the
law,
which
would
have
prohibited
the
sale
most
flavored
tobacco
products.
M
B
S
I
am
a
parent,
I'm
a
daughter
who
lost
her
dad
too
young
to
tobacco
related
illness
and
I'm
a
cancer
survivor
pave
is
in
support
of
a
comprehensive
tobacco
retail
licensing
ordinance
that
includes
a
full
ban
on
the
sale
of
all
flavored
tobacco
products,
including
menthol
cigarettes
and
hookah,
and
includes
all
locations,
including
adult
only
stores.
We
know
that
flavors
hook.
Kids,
the
tobacco
industry
knows
that
as
well,
which
is
why
they
sell
minty,
menthol
and
other
candy
flavored
products
that
are
attractive
to
kids.
S
If
any
flavors
are
left
on
the
shelves,
the
youth
will
just
chase
whatever
flavor
is
available,
as
that
is
what
enticed
them
to
try.
Nicotine
in
the
first
place.
The
youth
of
san
jose
simply
cannot
wait
for
the
state
or
the
federal
government
to
take
action
to
prevent
protect
them.
As
mr
carrillo
explained,
recent
state
legislation
has
made
it
much
harder
for
kids
to
get
these
products
online,
but
the
tobacco
industry
has
forced
a
delay
of
a
statewide
flavor
ban
for
two
years.
S
San
jose
families
are
counting
on
you,
our
local
elected
officials,
to
value
our
kids
health
higher
than
the
profits
of
businesses
that
exist
to
sell
deadly
products.
Please
strengthen
the
tobacco
retail
licensing.
Ordinance
include
all
retailers
and
include
all
flavored
tobacco
products.
Thank
you.
B
C
The
tobacco
industry
has
also
used
cultural
flavors
to
target
kids
and
persons
of
color
like
boba,
tea
and
ube,
and
chicken
and
waffles
according
to
the
health
and
human
services.
Menthol
is
the
second
most
popular
flavor
among
youth
at
63.9
percent,
only
2
percent
less
than
the
most
popular
flavor.
But
where
are
the
youth
getting
these
products?
C
A
local
study
showed
that
45.4
percent
of
teens
in
santa
clara
county
reported
purchasing
their
own
e-cigarettes
with
over
a
quarter
of
this
group,
seeing
they
buy
them
directly
from
a
local
store
among
those
who
purchase
e-cigarettes
in
a
local
store,
62.5
purchased
them
at
a
vape
shop.
Healthy
communities
are
planned
with
intention.
It's
not
fair
that
san
jose
is
saturated
with
tobacco
retailers.
C
That
means
more
tobacco
access,
more
tobacco
advertising
more
tobacco
later
and
more
youth
tobacco
use.
Our
youth
have
enough
to
deal
with
with,
let's
protect
our
youth.
This
is
your
chance
to
make
san
jose
healthy
with
youth
tobacco
smoke
and
vape,
increasing
the
diagnosis
and
symptoms
of
kovid
by
five
to
seven
times.
This
ordinance
is
more
important
than
ever.
Thank
you
for
your
putting
our
youth
first.
E
We
have
been
fighting
since
our
creation
in
2008
and,
more
importantly,
in
2009,
when
president
obama
signed
the
tobacco
control
act
to
get
mentholated
tobacco
products
off
of
the
market.
Menthol
was
given
a
pass
at
that
time
when
all
other
flavored
combustible
tobacco
cigarettes
were
taken
off
the
market.
We've
been
waiting
quite
a
while,
and
as
recently
as
this
year,
we
have
actually
began
an
administrative
lawsuit
against
the
fda
and
our
co-plaintiffs
are
action
on
smoking.
Our
health,
the
american
medical
association
and
the
national
medical
association
just
recently
joined
us
as
a
co-plaintiff.
E
So
we
know
that
tobacco
control
is
a
street
fight.
It's
a
city
fight,
as
we
see
with
the
interference
of
our
state
law
that
was
just
passed
in
august.
We
know
that
if
the
tobacco
industry
is
against
something
that
we
should
be
forward
because
they
have
addicted
our
children
for
decades,
particularly
african
americans,
in
priority
populations.
E
So
I
urge
you
to
enact
legislation
to
take
mentholated
tobacco
products
and
all
flavor
tobacco
products
out
of
the
reach
of
our
children.
Black
smokers
are
not
born
with
the
newport
in
their
mouths.
They
begin
smoking,
as
other
people
do
when
they're
teenagers
and
young
adults-
and
we
have
been
just
left
out
to
dry
the
african-american
community
in
terms
of
the
predatory
targeting
of
the
tobacco
industry
against
our
people.
So
please
stand
with
us.
E
Protect
black
children
and
all
children
get
these
deadly
products
off
the
market,
and
we
will
we're
waiting
for
the
fight
when
we
see
what's
going
to
happen
with
the
star
state
bill.
But
in
the
interim
we
need
our
cities
and
our
counties
to
enact
strong
legislation
to
stop
the
cycle
of
addiction
of
our
citizens
and
protect
our
babies
and
our
children.
I
also
want
to
encourage
you
to
have
strong,
multi-unit
housing
protections.
E
J
J
J
J
With
your
power,
you
can
help
ban
all
flavored
tobacco
products,
restrict
e-cigarette
and
vape
product
sales,
as
well
as
restricting
the
density
of
tobacco
retailers
near
schools.
By
taking
action,
you
are
creating
a
safer
community
for
our
for
youth.
Thank
you.
Honorable
san
jose
community
members.
T
Hi
dear
assembly
members-
and
hopefully
you
can
hear
me
this
time-
I
apologize
for
the
last
time.
Thank
you,
council,
member
crosscoin
foley,
in
particular
for
your
leadership
in
this
area.
My
name
is
dr
bonnie
halpern
felscher
and
I'm
a
tenured
professor
of
pediatrics
at
stanford
university
and
I'm
a
developmental
psychologist
and
founder
and
executive
director
of
the
tobacco
prevention
toolkit.
I
have
over
25
years
of
experience
researching
why
youth
use
tobacco.
T
I
know
that
you're
hearing
from
many
advocates
parents
and
youth
today
and
I
wanted
to
add
in
my
voice,
based
on
my
own
research,
that
I
conducted
stanford,
I'm
happy
and
thankful
that
san
jose
is
considering
these
ordinances
and
I
encourage
you
to
move
them
to
the
full
committee.
This
is
important
because,
as
a
scientist
with
over
170
publications,
I
can
honestly
say
that
this
ordinance
is
based
on
evidence
and
will
go
far
to
protect
our
kids
from
from
a
lifetime
of
tobacco
addiction
by
ending
the
sale
of
flavored
tobacco.
I
have
four
main
concerns.
T
First,
we
recently
published
a
paper
that
clearly
showed
a
relationship
between
flavored
tobacco
use,
tobacco
use
in
general
and
the
initiation
and
onset
of
cobit
19..
Second,
there
are
over
15
000,
e-cigarette,
flavors
and
numerous
flavors
in
all
other
tobacco
products,
including
cigarettes,
cigars
and
hookah
flavors,
including
mint
and
menthol,
attract
young
and
new
users.
In
fact,
most
youth
cite
flavors
as
a
reason
for
why
they
use
and
they
report
that
they
would
quit
tobacco
use
if
flavors
were
not
available,
and
our
research
shows
that
these
flavors
are
in
all
the
products.
T
Finally,
flavors
mask
the
risk
and
they're
getting
these
flavors
from
the
local
retail
shop
now's
the
time
to
act
as
we
fight
the
virus.
It's
never
been
more
important
to
keep
our
lungs
healthy
coronavirus
attacks,
those
lungs
and
in
growing
young
people.
We
have
to
do
everything
we
can
to
prevent
their
use.
I
thank
you
very
much
for
all
the
work
that
you're
doing
and
for
moving
this
forward.
B
Thank
you,
dr
felser.
I
see
here
sonia
gutierrez.
J
Oh,
I
just
went
already
so
it's
okay.
B
E
Yes,
can
everybody
hear
me?
Yes,
okay,
hello,
hello!
Thank
you
mayor
and
members
of
the
council.
My
name
is
rachelle
smith
speaking
today
on
behalf
of
eight
omega
chapter
of
delta,
sigma
data
sorority,
incorporated
here
at
san
jose
state,
I'm
here
today
to
support
a
city-wide
ordinance,
ending
the
sale
of
all
flavored
tobacco
products,
I'm
a
california
native
and
live
in
san
jose
where
I've
been
a
student
at
san
jose
state
as
a
public
health
major
with
a
minor
in
african
american
studies.
E
I
know
that
the
committee
would
benefit
from
hearing
from
someone
who
you
know
has
direct
care
in
the
black
community
and
black
community,
so
today,
I'll
be
going
over
a
few
facts
regarding
tobacco,
so
first
one
in
eight
santa
clara
county
teens
use
tobacco
products.
This
is
an
extremely
shocking
fact
because
there
are
so
many
black
teams
drawn
to
the
dangerous
tobacco
products
disguised
as
harmless
sweet,
flavor
vape,
and
this
can
have
unknowingly
detrimental
effects
on
all
teens.
E
This
can
get
them
addicted
to
smoking
in
general,
which
can
have
a
correlation
to
poor
academics
in
the
classroom.
Another
fact
that
I
found
was
nearly
a
quarter
of
surveyed
san
jose
tobacco
retailers
sold
tobacco
to
an
underage
person.
This
is
extremely
unacceptable.
We
need
to
protect
our
youth
community
with
a
hands-on
approach.
We
need
to
address
the
vendors
and
force
them
to
stop
selling
to
our
youth,
because
we
cannot
afford
to
lose
any
more
people
to
an
abuse
of
tobacco
use.
E
B
Thank
you
so
much.
Our
next
speaker
is
lauren
shoemaker.
J
Welcome
hi,
council
members.
Thank
you
for
your
time
and
consideration.
My
name
is
lauren
schumacher,
I'm
a
student
at
santa
clara
university
and
I
am
interning
with
breathe
california,
as
an
emerging
community
leader,
I'm
speaking
because
the
city
of
san
jose
is
jeopardizing
the
health
of
its
residents.
J
I
am
under
21
and
have
witnessed
tobacco
use
at
my
college.
However,
I've
been
even
more
shocked
to
see
the
tobacco
product
use.
Among
my
high
school
brother
and
his
friend
group,
I
have
seen
the
popularity
of
flavored
tobacco
products
first
hand
and
am
shocked
to
see
how
widespread
access
is
to
them
among
use.
J
I
saw
friends
on
sports
teams,
lose
their
stamina
and
develop
breathing
issues
due
to
vaping,
I
believe,
limiting
the
distance
tobacco
retailers
can
be
from
schools
and
further
licensing
restrictions
are
a
step
in
the
right
direction.
Please
please
protect
the
youth
of
our
community
from
big
tobacco.
Thank
you
again.
E
I
am
speaking
to
urge
you
to
act
progressively
to
protect
some
of
your
most
targeted
citizens,
members
of
the
african-american
community.
By
enacting
a
comprehensive
ordinance,
the
ordinance
must
end
the
sale
of
flavored
tobacco
products,
which
includes
all
menthol
nicotine
products
with
no
exemptions
of
any
kind.
A
comprehensive
ordinance
is
not
just
an
attractive
option.
It's
a
critical
need.
E
The
tobacco
industry
has
been
targeting
the
african-american
community,
including
youth
and
people
of
all
ages,
literally
from
for
centuries,
from
chattel
slavery
to
to
support
tobacco
plantations
to
menthol
targeting
the
tobacco
industry
has
shown
their
interest
in
attracting
and
addicting
black
smokers
without
concern
for
the
harm
that
tobacco
products
cause.
The
scourge
of
coba
19
makes
this
an
even
more
critical
issue.
E
Additional
concerns
have
been
expressed
about
the
possibility
of
disenfranchising
cultural
users
of
tobacco
products
like
hookah
and
even
menthol
menthol
products.
These
are
misleading
cultural
narratives,
designed
to
manipulate
by
using
the
threat
of
negative
public
perception
around
cultural
insensitivity.
E
These
narratives
are
lies
and
they
serve
to
disrespect
the
cultures
and
the
people
that
they
reference,
no
one,
but
no
one
who
cares
anything
about
the
african-american
community
will
advocate
for
the
sale
of
products
that
have
been
statistically
proven
to
be
effective
tools
for
the
systematic
killing
of
black
people,
certainly
not
in
the
interest
of
revenue.
You
have
the
power
to
stop
these
profit,
driven
businesses
and
companies
in
their
tracks
in
san
jose.
E
So
if
you
believe
that
black
lives
and
black
loans
matter,
then
show
it
by
protecting
african
americans
of
all
ages
by
implementing
a
comprehensive
ordinance
regulating
all
tobacco
products,
including
menthol,
without
exemptions
of
any
type.
Thank
you
for
taking
a
stand
against
big
tobacco
and
tobacco
proper
tears,
while
protecting
san
jose
youth,
family
and
black
lives.
S
Hello
good
afternoon,
council
members:
this
is
lizzie
belton
with
the
american
heart
association.
S
Thank
you
for
your
consideration
of
a
comprehensive
flavor
tobacco
sales
restriction
and
update
to
your
tobacco
retail
license
this
summer,
gavin
newsom
signed
senate
bill
793
to
restrict
the
sale
of
flavor
tobacco
products
in
our
state,
and
just
last
month
the
tobacco
industry
filed
signatures
to
send
it
to
the
november
2022
ballot.
Should
it
qualify
for
that
ballot?
It
would
delay
implementation
for
two
years
and
we
must
continue
to
pass
local
policies
that
cover
all
flavor
tobacco
products
and
codify
at
the
local
level.
So
san
jose's
youth
cannot
wait
for
two
years.
S
We
know
a
policy
is
only
as
good
as
its
implementation
and
its
enforcement.
The
aha
strongly
recommends
that
enforcement
is
considered
as
beginning
of
the
policy
adoption
for
flavored
tobacco.
You
have
an
opportunity
to
update
your
current
licensing
requirements
and
meet
some
of
the
best
practices
used
throughout
the
bay
area.
A
tobacco
retail
license
gives
flavor
tobacco
restrictions
from
teeth
and
it
matches
your
intent
to
protect
san
jose's,
youth
and
residents
from
tobacco
related
diseases.
S
A
strong
tobacco
retail
license
requires
establishing
a
license
fee
that
is
adequate
to
cover
the
cost
of
enforcement,
a
minimum
of
at
least
one
compliance
check
per
year
with
re-checks
within
three
months
for
violations.
An
escalating,
fine
and
suspension
structure,
leading
to
revocation
and
language
that
the
owner
and
licensee
shall
be
responsible
for
all
violations
and
fines.
The
heart
association
would
be
happy
to
partner
with
the
city
and
staff
on
these
recommendations
and
please
join
the
county
and
your
fellow
cities
by
adopting
a
tobacco
retail
license,
update
with
a
strong
enforcement
and
full
flavors
policies.
M
Hello,
my
name
is
genesis
merriman,
and
I
am
a
former
long-term
resident
of
san
jose's
district
8..
I've
lived
in
san
jose
for
over
15
years,
and
my
family
still
currently
resides
there
today,
I'm
speaking
on
behalf
of
my
two
younger
sisters
in
support
of
a
stronger
tobacco
retail
license
policy
to
protect
them
and
all
of
our
youth
from
the
harmful
effects
of
tobacco.
M
As
has
been
mentioned
already,
the
data
shows
that
youth
are
overwhelmingly
using
e-cigarette
devices
and
flavored
tobacco
products,
the
majority
of
which
are
purchased
by
youth
at
in-person
stores.
When
I
was
in
high
school,
I
clearly
remember
how
often
my
friends
would
vape
and
use
tobacco
products
always
having
their
usual
stores,
where
they
knew
they
wouldn't
be
carded
and
where
they
knew
the
supply
of
tobacco
products
was
endless.
My
sister,
who
recently
graduated
from
silver
creek,
often
tells
me
about
how
students
still
always
vape
in
the
bathroom
in
the
hallways
or
outside
at
lunch.
M
San
jose
needs
to
make
the
existing
tobacco
retailer
licensing
policy
a
strong
ordinance
by
including
key
provisions
to
protect
the
youth
of
our
community,
who
are
especially
vulnerable
to
this
deadly
addiction.
I
was
lucky
enough
to
avoid
tobacco
use,
while
I
was
growing
up
in
san
jose,
but
that
doesn't
mean
that
there
weren't
plenty
of
opportunities
for
me
to
use
it.
I
worry
about
the
next
generation
of
youth,
who
are
growing
up
with
an
influx
of
flavored
products
and
vaping
devices
designed
for
their
attention
like
never
before.
M
E
Thank
you.
My
name
is
carol
baker,
I'm
a
volunteer
with
the
american
cancer
society,
cancer
action
network
and
co-chair
of
the
tobacco
free
coalition
of
santa
clara
county.
You
know,
stores
and
vape
shops
that
sell
flavored
tobacco
products,
have
childish,
flavors
like
cotton,
candy,
slushies,
swisher,
sweets,
fruity,
f-r-o-o-t-y
and,
of
course,
menthol.
That
makes
it
easier
to
get
hooked
in.

Hello,
council
members,
I'm
krupa,
but
I'm
actually
here
today
to
sound
the
voice
of
aditya
indla,
who
is
not
able
to
join
today
due
to
his
schoolwork
and
I'm
reading
his
testimony
here.
My
name
is
aditya
indla
and
I'm
representing
the
stanford
tobacco
prevention,
toolkit
youth
action
board
and
the
american
cancer
society
cancer
action
network
right
now,
one
in
eight
santa
clara
county
teens
use
tobacco
products,
exposing
them
to
nicotine
at
a
time
when
their
brains
are
still
developing
and
one
of
the
primary
methods
they
get.
M
These
products
is
through
tobacco
retailers
located
right
next
to
their
schools.
Nearly
a
quarter
of
tobacco
retailers
in
san
jose
have
sold
tobacco
to
youth
and
nearly
all
of
those
products
were
flavored
either
with
menthol
or
fruit.
The
best
and
only
solution
available
today
is
a
comprehensive
tobacco
retail
ride,
licensing
nearly
seven
of
ten
santa
clara
county
residents,
support
policies
restricting
flavor
tobacco
and
preventing
stores
near
schools
from
selling
tobacco
and
60
support
restricting
the
sale
of
all
vaping
products.
M
J
San
jose,
should
not
in
that
end
of
the
quote.
San
jose
shouldn't
fall
behind
here.
Please
join
the
other
80
plus
cities
and
counties
in
california
by
developing
a
strong
ordinance
that
mirrors
the
county
ordinance
by
prohibiting
the
sale
of
all
e-cigarettes
and
flavor
tobacco
without
any
exemptions
and
prohibiting
the
sale
of
all
tobacco
products
and
pharmacies.
Thank
you.
B
Thank
you
and
in
our
last
well,
we
lost
our
last
speaker.
That
was
our
last
speaker.
B
And
I'm
going
to
return
to
my
council
colleagues.
Excuse
me:
council,
member
foley.
B
L
Councilmember
carrasco,
it's
been
a
long
day,
it's
okay
and-
and
I
I
will
defer
to
you
in
a
few
moments,
as
you
were
the
one
who
first
brought
this
forward,
particularly
as
it
relates
to
the
flavored
cigarettes
and
vape
devices,
and
then
we
moved
it
forward
in
priority
setting
session
where
both
of
our
items
were
heading
were
merged
together
and
now
are
going
forward,
which
I'm
really
really
excited
about.
I
want
to
thank
the
members
of
the
public
who
came
here
to
passionately,
encourage
us
to
move
quickly.
L
I'm
I
hear
your
words
and
I
would
not
have
co-authored
or
authored
the
priority
setting
item
that
I
had,
if
I
didn't
feel
the
same
passion
for
you
as
it
relates
to
moving
the
rest
or
restricting
where
e-cigarettes
are
sold.
I
am
disappointed.
I
was
proud
of
the
legislature
for
the
the
adoption
of
sb
793
earlier
this
year-
very
disappointed,
but
not
surprising
in
the
dupaco
industry,
for
fighting
it.
That's
not
unusual
and
was
not
to
be
was
to
be
expected,
so
I
believe
we
need
to
move
as
quickly
as
possible.
L
My
question
is,
and
of
course
I
will
move
this
forward
and
make
the
motion
in
in
just
a
couple
of
minutes,
but
my
question
is:
how
quickly
can
we
move
this
to
council?
What's
the
next
step
for
us
to
move
this
to
council,
so
we
can
adopt
it
and
get
the
ordinance
on
the
books.
K
Yeah.
Thank
you
for
that
question.
We
have
a
put
forth
a
pretty
aggressive
timeline
in
our
work
plan,
and
we
want
to
actually
get
it
to
cancel
in
march
is
what
we
want
to
do.
L
That
makes
me
really
happy
because
we
cannot
wait.
We
cannot
wait
for
the
the
health
of
our
children
while
they
are
home
with
coveted
and
sheltering
in
place.
L
They
are
not
as
out
and
about,
although
they
really
are.
We
know
they're
out
and
about
but
they're,
not
at
school
and
have
more
free
time
to
go
from
school
to
get
home
and
end
up
at
the
vendor
who
to
tobacco
shop
that
they
can
get
their
e-cigarettes
from
as
easily
but
they're
out
there
and
they're
getting
them-
and
I
am
very
concerned
about
how
addictive
tobacco
is,
how
it
affects
their
brain
functions.
L
How
this?
How
what
happens
to
them
as
teenagers
will
affect
their
lives
down
down
the
line
and
they're,
not
thinking
that
all
they're
thinking
is.
These
are
cool.
It's
a
cool
device,
it's
a
cool!
I
look
cool
smoking
kind
of
reminds
me
of
those
tv
shows
in
the
50s
and
60s,
where
the
guys
had
the
pack
of
cigarettes
rolled
up
in
their
shoulders,
and
you
thought.
Oh,
that
is
really
cool,
but
it's
not
cool.
It
stinks.
It's
disgusting,
it's
a
filthy
habit
and
it's
addictive
and
it's
secondhand
smoke
is
just
as
bad.
L
So
we
must
do
everything
in
our
power
to
re,
restrict
these
e-cigaret
e-cigarettes
and
flavored
cigarettes
from
our
youth
adults.
You
know
their
adults
are
adults
and
they
have
control
in
a
different
way,
but
we
have
to
protect
our
children,
and
I
know
that
children
are
not
going
to
listen
to
their
parents
they're,
going
to
listen
to
their
fellow
teenagers
as
to
what's
cool.
L
So,
even
though
we
say
we
have
to
put
the
onus
on
the
parents,
that's
not
fair,
because
the
parents
are
doing
the
best
that
they
can,
but
kids
are
kids
and
they're
not
going
to
listen
to
them
as
a
mom
of
a
24
year
old
who's,
not
smoking,
and,
thank
god,
she's.
Not
when
I
hear
of
people
who
are
around
her
it.
It
disturbs
me
because
it
just
it's
just
it's
frustrating.
L
So
we
need
to
do
everything
in
our
power
oscar.
I'm
glad
to
hear
we're
going
to
see
this
before
council
in
march,
and
with
that
I
will
accept
the
status
report
and
do
we
need
to
move
it
forward
or.
E
L
B
I
was
going
to
say
I
I
think,
we've
all
been
graduated
to
assembly
members
and
mayors
of
the
city
according
to
our
speaker,
so
so
I'll
take
it.
Thank
you
thank
you
for
your
leadership
council
member
foley
and
and
for
my
council
colleagues
support
on
this.
It's
an
important
issue,
but
before
I
make
my
comments,
council
member
esparza
you've
got
the
mic
I'll.
F
Keep
it
brief
I
just
wanted
to
thank
you
both
for
your
leadership
on
this
this
issue.
I
wanted
to
thank
all
the
speakers
that
came
to
speak,
including
a
lot
of
very
passionate
young
people,
which
is
always
wonderful
to
hear
and
and
come
back
in
march.
Thank
you.
B
There
thank
you,
I
don't
see
any
other
hands.
Councilmember
jimenez
jump
right
in
if
you,
if
you'd
like
to
speak,
but
I
want
to
thank
all
of
our
speakers
for
coming
out
and
waiting
around
and
and
really
taking
your
time
to
speak
on
such
an
important
issue.
B
I
agree
with
with
all
of
the
speakers
who
spoke
today,
there's
such
a
great
sense
of
urgency,
especially
as
it
pertains
to
our
communities
of
concern,
our
african
american
population.
You
know
they've
been
preyed
upon
by
by
big
tobacco
companies
and
and
and
our
teenagers,
our
young
folks.
What
really
prompted
me
at
the
time
when
I
wrote
the
the
memos.
B
Interestingly
enough
was
conversations
that
I
was
having
very
casually
with
my
own
teenagers,
who
were
talking
to
me
about
these
binge
vaping
sessions
that
their
friends
were
having,
and
I
was
completely
oblivious
to
it
and
who
would
have
thought
that
you
know
I'm
like
so
hip
and
cool
about
things.
I
thought
I
knew
everything
and
and
vaping
is
such
a
new
phenomena
and
it's
an
interesting
phenomena.
That's
taking
place
among
our
our
youth
and
it's
such
a
dangerous
practice,
and
it's
very,
very
addictive.
B
Interestingly
enough
and
some
of
the
the
speakers
spoke
on
this,
they
they're
not
having
other
folks
buy
it
for
them.
They're,
walking
right
in
to
the
establishments
and
they're
purchasing
these
products
directly
from
the
businesses
and
that's
what's
equally
as
shocking
as
as
what
they're
engaging
in
and-
and
so
we
we
can't
have
that
continue,
at
least
not
in
this
city,
and
so
I'm
glad
that
that
the
state
is
is
doing
what
they
need
to
do.
B
I
hope
that
they
they
they
do
see
the
sense
of
urgency
that
needs
to
happen,
because
every
time
that
they
do
it,
you
know
it.
It
carries
a
greater
intensity
of
nicotine,
and
so
with
that
comes
greater
opportunities
for
addiction.
Now
we
know
that
cobit
has
changed
everything
in
terms
of
the
way
that
we
see.
We
see
policy,
how
we
see
health
inequities
and
how
we
see
our
own
health
and
how
we
take
care
of
ourselves.
B
But
when
we
look
at
respiratory
conditions,
we
know
that
covet
attacks
us
even
more
so
and
makes
sure
that
it
it
attaches
itself.
So
this
definitely
makes
us
more
vulnerable
even
for
the
the
apparently
healthy
person.
So
so
I'm
glad
that
we're
moving
on
this
aggressively,
as
you
say,
and
that
we'll
see
this
in
march
and
and
that,
especially
when
it
comes
to
flavored
tobacco,
you
know
those
of
us
who
who
gravitate
towards
things
that
are
yummy.
B
Who
doesn't
you
know?
We
won't
see
that
in
our
city
any
longer
at
least
it'll
be
one
thing
that
we
can
check
off
our
list.
So
thank
you
so
much
council
member
foley
for
for
seeing
this
as
an
issue
that
needed
to
be
addressed
as
well.
B
In
order
to
protect
our
children,
we
can
protect
them
from
everything,
and
at
some
point
you
know,
free
will
is
is
is
powerful
and
we
can
only
do
so
much
in
terms
of
guiding
our
children,
but
we
can
put
some
some
measures
in
place
and
hope
that
our
kiddos
will
will
be
able
to
make
the
right
decisions
and
make
me,
may
god
be
with
with
them
at
that
point.
So
thank
you
so
much.
There
is
a
motion
on
the
floor
and
with
that
madame
clerk.
Yes,.
L
B
L
B
Costco
hi,
thank
you.
Thank
you
so
much
and
as
I
am
opening
up
my
my
agenda
on
my
other
trusty
apparatus
here,
give
me
a
moment
because
I
think
we're
going
on
to
our
last
item
right.
D
D
Yeah
we
got
one
last
item
and-
and
I
believe
it's
it's
our
same
team
on
pbce
regarding
housing
and
so
I'll
turn
it
over
to
rosalind
and
her
team.
E
So
much
angels.
So
yes,
our
last
item
for
discussion
is
actually
related
to
the
previous
item.
This
is
another
city
council
policy,
priority
item
on
smoke,
free
housing-
and
I
do
want
to
take
a
note
and
just
thank
santa
clara
county
and
their
partnership,
the
public
health
department
and
because,
without
the
funding
that
we
receive
to
their
cities,
healthy
cities
program,
we
really
wouldn't
be
able
to
come
as
far
as
we
have
on
on
both
work
items.
E
F
T
T
We
also
have
julia
joyce,
villalobos
and
as
well
as
jennifer
aguilar,
they
will
be
available
to
assist
with
any
related
questions.
County
related
questions,
after
the
presentation.
T
So
as
today
we
are
providing
a
status
report
on
city
council
policy,
priority
18
smoke,
free
housing
and
just
to
give
you
a
little
bit
of
a
background,
how
did
it
get
started?
This
initiated
back
in
2017,
a
former
council
member
rocha,
brought
forth
a
memo,
bringing
this
item
to
the
rules
and
open
government
committee
so
that
it
can
be
brought
forth
to
the
city
council
policy
priority
setting
sessions
and
the
history
was
back
in
2017.
T
The
item
ranked
item
22
march
2019,
it
ranked
item
23
and
as
recent
this
year
the
item
was
ranked
18..
T
As
we
mentioned,
we
are
in
partnership
with
the
santa
clara
county
public
health
department,
healthy
cities
program
grant
funding,
so
we
submitted
an
application
back
in
2018.
In
november
of
5th
2018
notification
of
the
award
was
received.
We
received
approximately
six
thousand
sixty
five
thousand
dollars
within
in
kind
county
policy,
consultant
support
for
the
work
the
contract
was
executed,
the
contract
term
began
february,
2nd
2020
and
it
turns
to
june
30th
2021,
currently
chapter
9.44
regulation
of
smoking
with
the
san
jose
municipal
code
prohibits
smoking
in
publicly
accessible
and
common
areas
enclosed
around
enclosed.
T
And
we
had
a
total
of
1442
respondents
if
you
can
go
to
the
next
slide.
Please
and
based
on
this
information,
the
respondents
there
were
76
percent
that
currently
live
in
multiple
family
housing.
The
survey
was
provided
in
multiple
languages,
it
was
english,
spanish,
vietnamese
and
chinese.
T
T
We've
also
done
research
and
benchmarking,
so
we
are
aware
of
five
local
jurisdictions
have
adopted
a
hundred
percent
smoke-free
housing
laws,
los
gatos
monas
arena,
palo,
alto,
santa
clara
sunnyvale
and
santa
clara
county
and
based
on
the
report
from
the
santa
clara
county,
33
households
live
in
multi-family
units
in
the
city
of
san
jose.
We
have
approximately
a
hundred
and
one
thousand
apartment
units
in
san
jose,
but
this
does
not
include
condos,
so
work
plan
items
in
progress.
So
where
are
we?
T
We
completed
we're
in
the
process
to
complete
a
joint
county
city,
racial
health,
equity
assessment.
T
T
The
next
two
slides
that
are
coming
forth
will
highlight
information
directly
coming
from
the
survey,
and
this
basically
shows
the
respondents
that
were
identified
by
race.
We
can
see
here
that
we
have
50
percent
of
the
respondents,
white,
seventeen
percent
hispanic,
twenty
percent
asian
and
then
three
percent
black
and
then
nine
percent
that
did
not
disclose
other.
T
Also
we
on
the
column
to
the
right.
We
have
survey
respondents
by
income
level.
Here
we
can
see
the
the
largest
respondents
based
on
on
the
income,
100
000
or
greater,
where
41
75
to
99
000
were
in
the
14
bracket.
That
responded
and
then
50
to
74k
or
in
the
rounding
it
off
to
11,
and
then
the
other
group
34k
or
less
were
in
the
rounding
it
off
again
to
12
and
then
17
prefer
not
to
answer
so
again.
T
Based
on
the
results
for
the
survey
here,
we're
seeing
that
69
of
the
respondents
69
declare
they
had
been
exposed
to
secondhand
smoke
and
then
the
other
169
percent
also
stated.
Smoking
should
be
prohibited
in
multi-family
units
and
then
71
percent
said.
Smoking
should
be
prohibited
in
multi-family
units,
balconies
and
patios.
T
So
going
to
the
next
steps.
So
we
basically
have
completed
some
of
those
items.
What
do
we
plan
to
do?
So?
What
is
next?
T
B

That
was
my
mistake.
I
accidentally

Can
you
please

over.
Q
Okay,
good
afternoon,
council
members,
my
name
is
brian
davis
and
I'm
a
member
of
the
tobacco-free
coalition
of
santa
clara
county.
I
have
an
incurable
lung
disease
that
is
aggravated
by
second-hand
smoke.
Q
Q
G
Hello,
council
members
committee,
members
and
staff,
it's
margo
seidner
again
to
express,
breathe,
california's,
enthusiastic
support
for
strengthening
regulations
to
control
smoking
in
all
multi-unit
housing,
breathe.
California
has
run
a
secondhand
smoke
helpline
for
almost
30
years
and
we
had
an
mou
with
the
city
to
help
identify
non-compliant
parties
when
the
city
passed
its
2012
second
hand
smoke
ordinance
for
many
years.
G
The
the
key
chief
complaint
of
the
vast
majority
of
our
callers
has
been
their
neighbors
smoking
for
those
with
lung
disease,
such
as
children
of
asthma,
are
seniors
with
copd
neighbors
smoking
causes
serious
health
issues
and
can
be
life-threatening.
Some
callers
have
even
had
to
flee
their
homes
and
shelter
elsewhere.
G
G
We
offer
anonymous
educational
interventions
with
the
landlords,
but
sometimes
they
are
still
afraid
of
even
having
us
bring
up
the
topic
with
the
landlords,
because
some
of
them
have
been
threatened
with
eviction.
If
they
complain
to
anyone,
as
you
can
imagine,
there
has
been
a
significant
increase
in
the
complaints
due
to
covid
with
neighbors
all
sheltering
at
home.
G
We
believe
the
best
solution
is
a
ban
on
smoking
inside
and
outside
units,
and
several
cities
and
counties
have
enacted
such
bans
with
success,
which
you
heard
about
in
the
in
the
presentation
of
note.
We
are,
we
also
have
been
contacted
by
landlords
who
want
to
go
100
smoke
free
and
would
appreciate
the
city's
backing.
So
please
forward
this
to
the
full
council
for
action,
because
all
san
jose
residents
deserve
to
breathe
smoke-free
air.
Thank
you.
A
Good
afternoon,
council
members,
my
name
is
still
amaya
wooding.
I
still
use
she
her
pronouns
and
I
still
co-chair
proudly
against
tobacco.
The
bay
area's
lgbtq
plus
tobacco
control
coalition.
The
tobacco
use
is
the
leading
cause
of
preventable
death
in
this
country
and
lgbtq
plus
people
in
california
smoke
twice
as
much
as
a
general
population.
So
when
someone
decides
to
quit,
it
should
be
celebrated
and
supported,
but
in
the
absence
of
a
smoke-free
multi-unit
housing
policy,
someone's
efforts
could
be
thwarted
by
a
neighbor.
They
don't
even
know.
A
Second-Hand
smoke
can
deliver
enough
nicotine
to
the
brain
to
trigger
cravings
and
even
some
levels
of
third-hand
smoke
which
settles
on
surfaces
and
can
stay
there
for
months
after
a
smoker
moves
out,
increase
the
likelihood
of
relapse
also
to
tie
this
to
our
region's
ongoing
housing
and
homelessness
crisis
work
out
of
uc
san
francisco
links
increased
nicotine
independence
to
greater
difficulty,
exiting
homelessness
and
entering
permanent
housing.
Meanwhile,
smoke-free
multi-unit
housing
policies,
increase
cessation
and
decrease
the
amount
of
cigarettes
smoked
by
residents
who
continue
to
smoke.
B
Thank
you
and
my
apologies
in
order
for
me
not
to
lose
quorum.
I'm
going
to
read
I'm
going
to
have
speakers
speak
for
one
minute,
audrey
abbadia,
one
minute.
J
Hi
there,
okay
good
evening,
council
members,
committee
and
staff,
my
name
is
audrey
bedelia,
I'm
the
manager
of
advocacy
and
community
impact
at
breathe,
california,
and
I'm
speaking
in
support
of
ending
smoking
and
multi-unit
housing.
I
live
in
an
apartment,
complex
and
half
of
the
residents
smoke
and
regularly.
J
I
feel
my
own
chest
tighten
and
my
breathing
labored
communities
everywhere
are
tightening
up
their
stay
at
home
orders
and
our
city
leaders
are
asking
residents
to
be
heroes
by
staying
home
and
saving
others
all
the
while
the
lack
of
protection
makes
people
at
home
victims
for
doing
just
that.
We
have
protective
mass
on
the
moment
we
step
outside
and
there
should
be
no
reason.
We
feel
the
need
to
use
it
inside
our
homes
too.
J
R
We
are
urging
you
to
move
forward
with
a
strong
ordinance
to
protect
san
jose
residents
from
drifting
secondhand
smoke
and
multi-unit
housing
and
to
think
about
protecting
all
residents,
whether
in
apartments
or
condos,
duplexes
or
town
homes.
The
risk
and
the
danger
is
the
same
and
to
protect
us
from
all
drifting
smoke.
R
Tobacco
smoke
marijuana
smoke,
vape
vapor,
all
of
it
is
dangerous
to
our
health,
and
while
there
are
many
laws
have
been
passed
both
in
california
and
san
jose
that
protect
residents
from
second-hand
smoke.
Those
of
us
who
are
residents
of
multi-unit
housing
are
not
protected
from
secondhand
smoke
in
our
own
homes.
In
fact,
the
home
is
now
the
number
one
source
of
secondhand
smoke
exposure
because
it's
where
people
spend
the
most
time.
So
we
urge
you
to
move
forward
and
pass
a
strong
policy
here
in
san
jose.
Thank
you.
S
Good
afternoon
supervisors
lizzie
belton
again
with
the
american
heart
association.
We
support
protecting
san
jose
residents
of
multi-unit
housing
from
secondhand
smoke.
Secondhand
smoke
can
cause
serious
disease
and
premature
deaths
among
non-smokers.
Researchers
documented
the
transfer
of
secondhand
smoke
in
the
air
and
of
secondhand
smoke
constituents
through
heating
ventilation,
air
conditioning
systems
and
other
connections
between
units,
and
there
is
no
safe
level
of
exposure
to
secondhand
smoke.
It
has
an
immediate
negative
effect
on
heart
function,
blood,
platelets,
inflammation,
endothelial
function
and
vascular
system
and
long-term
exposure.
To
second
hand.
S
Smoke
is
associated
with
a
25
to
30
percent.
Increased
risk
of
coronary
heart
disease
in
adult
non-smokers.
Smoke-Free
multi-unit
housing
ordinances
are
an
important
strategy
to
protect
vulnerable
populations
from
dangerous
second-hand
smoke
exposure
in
their
own
homes.
We
suggest
this
policy
include
language
requiring
public
education,
adequate
signage
and
awareness
raising
to
ensure
compliance,
culturally
and
linguistically
appropriate
cessation
services
and
avoidance
of
this
issue
statute
being
used
to
evict
residents
that
are
also
victims
of
addiction
by
a
deadly
industry.
Thank
you
very
much.
S
J
Hi,
my
name
is
shikha,
I'm
a
legislative
ambassador
of
the
american
cancer
society
and
a
biology
student
I
would
like.
I
would
just
like
to
say
that,
as
someone
who
studies
biology,
I
think
it's
really
important
to
understand
and
emphasize
the
harmfulness
of
second-hand
smoke
second-hand
smoking
increases
the
risk
of
cancer,
particularly
lung
and
breast
cancer.
J
Looking
at
this
bio,
biologically
tobacco
smoke
contains
fat.
Soluble
compounds
that
induce
tumors
and
of
the
50
known
cancer-causing
agents
in
cigarettes,
20
specifically
target
breast
tissue
and
memory
glands,
my
mom,
who
is
46
and
did
not
smoke
passed
away
in
january
from
breast
cancer,
and
we
lived
in
an
apartment
building
in
san
jose
for
10
years.
That
was
not
smoke
free,
which
could
have
contributed
to
her
death.
J
I
know
firsthand
everything
that
passed
from
their
space
to
mind
from
water
leakage
to
sounds
of
panda
practice
and
more,
and
I
can't
bear
the
mind
that
camper
the
idea
that
my
mom
could
have
permitted
to
share
secondhand
smoke
with
them.
So
I
think
it's
really
important
to
protect
all
people
from
secondhand
smoke
and
we
can
do
this
by
creating
more
safe
spaces
for
non-smokers.
So
I
urge
the
council
to
move
forward
with
the
policy
that
protects
all
san
jose
multi-unit
housing
residents
from
second-hand
smelly.
Thank
you.
J
Good
afternoon,
council,
members
and
committee
staff,
my
name
is
diana
canales.
I
live
in
san
jose's
district
3
and
also
work
as
a
health
educator
at
breathe.
California,
I
also
reside
in
a
multi-unit
housing
complex
and
cannot
emphasize
enough
that
we
need
to
push
for
a
smoke-free
housing
policy
across
santa
clara
county.
Nearly
30
percent
of
residents
reported
smelling
smoke
drifting
into
their
home
in
the
past
week
and
40
percent
of
latinos
reported
such
exposure.
In
addition
to
this,
we
must
consider
folks
who
are
suffering
from
cova-19
symptoms.
J
As
someone
whose
papav
has
fathered
from
suffered
from
kobe
19
recovery
is
a
vital
time.
We
must
ensure
that
those
who
are
still
suffering
from
coven
19
are
able
to
breathe
easily
and
not
worry
about
extra
irritants
that
can
affect
their
lungs
council
members
and
committee
staff.
I
urge
you
all
to
move
forward
with
a
comprehensive
policy
that
protects
all
san
jose
multi-unit
housing
residents.
Thank
you
for
your
time
and
for
setting
up
for
our
health
during
one
of
our
most
vulnerable
moments.
M
Hello
again,
my
name
is
genesis,
merriman
and
I
am
still
a
former
resident
of
san
jose
district
8,
where
my
family
still
currently
resides
today,
I'm
speaking
on
behalf
of
my
family,
in
support
of
a
comprehensive
smoke-free
multi-unit
housing
policy
that
would
protect
all
san
jose
multi-unit
housing
residents,
including
those
who
live
in
duplexes
apartments,
town
homes
and
condos.
As
someone
who
grew
up
in
a
condo
on
the
east
side,
I
urge
you
to
move
forward
with
a
comprehensive
policy
so
that
all
multi-unit
housing
residents,
including
my
parents,
are
protected.
M
The
proposed
policy
is
an
important
first
step
towards
promoting
health
equity
and
improving
overall
public
health
in
san
jose,
because
the
movement
of
smoke
between
units
cannot
be
controlled
and
because
no
level
of
exposure
to
tobacco
smoke
is
safe.
The
only
way
to
effectively
protect
residents
from
the
harmful
effects
of
secondhand
smoke
is
to
completely
eliminate
smoking
in
all
indoor
areas
and
all
multi-unit
housing
complexes.
M
J
Hi,
hello,
council,
members
and
staff-
I
currently
recite
in
san
jose,
and
I
am
a
senior
health
and
wellness
intern
at
both
california.
I
want
the
council
to
move
forward
with
a
comprehensive
policy
that
protects
all
san
jose
unit,
multi
housing
residents
from
smoke.
J
I
myself
have
lived
in
multi-unit
housing
for
23
years,
all
of
my
life,
and
I
also
rely
on
public
transportation.
So,
prior
to
kobo
19,
I
was
constantly
exposed
to
second-hand
smoke
in
the
street
during
coba
19,
my
second-hand
smoke
exposure
has
increased,
has
increased
in
my
own
home.
Smoking
is
the
number
one
preventable
cause
of
death
in
the
united
states
and
it
is
paramount
to
protect
san
jose
residents
from
exposure
to
secondhand
smoke.
Exposure
to
the
secondhand
smoke
can
result
in
severe
asthma
attacks,
respiratory
infections,
sinus
infections
and
other
cardiovascular
and
pulmonary
diseases.
J
C
Hi
again,
my
name
is
rosalie
moya.
I'm
a
member
of
the
santa
clara
county,
tobacco-free
coalition
smoke-free
spaces
from
tobacco
and
marijuana
and
multi-unit
housing
is
necessary
to
protect
children,
adolescent
seniors
and
people
with
existing
health
conditions,
low
income
and
low
income
and
children
of
color
are
more
likely
to
have
asthma
and
are
more
likely
to
live
in
multi-unit
housing.
C
It's
hard
to
tell
on
the
phone,
but
I'm
five
months
pregnant.
Well,
I'm
very
happy
and
excited
to
have
a
baby
big
belly,
baby
kicks
and
gnaw.
It
worries
me
that
people
who
are
pregnant
are
exposed
to
secondhand
smoke,
show
a
greater
risk
of
giving
birth
to
low
birth
weight.
Babies
there's
already
so
much
to
worry
about
in
this
world,
especially
in
these
current
times
like
protecting
our
lungs
from
kovid
and
fires.
Breathing
toxic
and
deadly
smoke
inside
the
home
doesn't
have
to
be
one
of
them.
F
F
I
think
that
this
is
a
hugely
important
issue.
I
hear
quite
often
in
my
office
about
it
as
well,
and
so
with
that
I'm
happy
to
make
a
motion
and
accept
the
report.
If
that's
what
we
need
to
do,
I
know
that
this
comes
back
to
nse
in
spring,
with
the
policy
recommendations
developed
by
june.
So
with
that,
that's
my
motion.
B
Second,
thank
you
so
much
and
I'm
looking
to
see.
If
I
have
anybody
else,
I
have
no
other
colleagues.
I
know
that
mike
I'm
about
to
lose
quorum
real
soon.
I
want
to
thank
the
committee.
I
want
to
thank
everyone.
Who's
called
in
this
is
truly
a
an
important
and
critical
issue,
especially
during
this
time,
but
it's
an
important
issue
regardless
of
covid.
We
want
to
make
sure
that
our
residents
are
protected
and
the
health
of
our
communities
is
safeguarded.
B
So
thank
you,
council,
colleagues,
for
making
sure
that
this
happens
and
with
that
roll
call.
F
B
B
I
see
no
one.
Oh
wait
hold
on
a
second,
mr
beakman.
I
Hello
hi,
thank
you
for
the
meeting
today.
Nsc
meetings
can
always
bring
a
good
deal
of
care
to
issues
for
the
community.
Thank
you.
I
hope
you
can
be
patient
and
with
a
few
ideas
that
I
have
that
I
need
to
practice
saying
and
I
apologize
where
I
may
be
wrong,
and
hopefully
I
can
learn
about.
I
There
was
a
vision,
zero
committee
meeting
today
task
force
meeting
it
brought
in
interesting
ideas
of
there
is
over
there's
about
it
seems
like
1200
citations
issued
in
the
past
two
months.
So
that's
about
200
issues,
200
citations
a
day
I
think,
or
something
like
that.
I've
been
terrible
with
math,
but
there's
a
lot
of
citations
going
on
in
a
two-month
period
and
with
so
much
4g
and
5g
being
placed
it's
doing.
New
surveillance
stuff.
I
There
is
issues
of
you
know,
vision,
zero
law
enforcement
is
working,
they
are
doing
their
job
and
I
thought
I
should
say
that
right
now,
the
ksi
issue,
with
with
vision,
zero
that
that
we're
talking
about
issues
of
equity
and
so
those
numbers
are
gonna,
be
a
little
larger
than
they
used
to
be
in
previous
years.
It's
gonna.
I
Take
a
couple
more
months
or
years
to
adjust
to
that,
and
I
hope
we
can
learn
to
vary
the
difference
from
previous
years
of
a
high
number
of
ksi's
compared
to
high
numbers
now,
and
that
needs
a
little
work
on
the
issues
of
the
city
council
meeting
last
week
on
the
future
of
energy
and
the
use
of
the
hydrogen
fuel
cells.
I
You
know
the
mayor
really
is
promoting
for
the
next
three
years
up
until
2023,
that
we
practice
the
ideas
of
hydrogen
fuel
cells,
and
I
I
seems
like
an
interesting
idea
that
has
variation
to
it.
Can
he
possibly
you
know
to
prepare
ourselves?
Can
he
possibly
also
prepare
the
ideas
of
use
of
solar
power
and
how
to
just
introduce
solar
power
as
a
way
to
prepare
for
our
future
and
for
any
disasters
that
will
happen.
I
Because
because
of
say,
earthquakes
and-
and
things
like
that
in
the
next
10
years,
is
there
a
way
that
that
we
can
talk
about
solar
power
that
also
can
be
used
in
the
time
after
an
earthquake.
We
can
rely
on
that
energy
time
and
how
do
we?
It
may
not
be
everything,
but
it's
a
good
supplement
that
will
be
needed
at
that
time,
and
I
hope
the
mayor
will
want
to
work
and
think
about
those
ideas.
Sorry
for
my
brashness
to
say
and
how
I
say
it.
I
Hopefully
it's
an
understandable
idea
and,
to
conclude
I'm
very,
very
sorry
about
you,
know:
I've
been
reporting
all
fall
about
the
ideas
of
covid
and
that
the
numbers
are
rising
and
I
keep
rising
and
I
was
offering
that
we
need
safe
practices.
I
started
offering
statistics
of
death
and
that
it
will
be.
B
Thank
you
so
much
mr
beekman.
It's
always
so
nice
to
hear
from
you
and
thank
you
to
my
council,
colleagues
and
staff
for
for
helping
me
get
through
today.
Of
course,
this
was
an
unexpected
turn
of
events
and
we
hope
that
council
member
arenas
does
really
well
and
recovers
from
that
dreaded
little
virus.
That
is
just
switching
everything
up
on
us
and,
of
course,
we
wish
our
family
well.
Thank
you
so
much,
and
we
will
see
you
next
tuesday
have
a
nice
and
safe.
