Thank
you
very
much,
councilwoman
Davis
honorable
board.
My
name
is
Jenny.
Garza
I
understand
that
pal
stadium
has
some
issues
and
I
would
like
to
volunteer
my
services
to
to
Pal
Stadium
I'd
like
to
be
a
board
member.
If
they
need
the
director.
Let's,
let's
try
that
too.
If,
if
no
one
else
more
capable
than
I
is
available
and
my
heart
is
there,
I
played
baseball
there,
I
played
Semi-Pro
for
fontenetti
Sporting
Goods
and
we
played
from
Union
City
and
Redwood
City
it's
to
Monterey,
so
that
place
is
really
special
to
me.
F
Thank
you.
Can
you
hear
me?
Yes,
thank
you.
Paul
Soto
from
the
Horseshoe
I
want
to
talk
about
pal
Stadium's
history.
Pal
stadium
was
created
and
this
is
an
equity
issue
because
Palestinian
was
created
when
they
put
when
they
literally
demolished,
and
a
lot
of
people
were
displaced.
A
lot
of
people
from
my
community
remember.
My
father
is
from
I
traced
my
legacy
in
descendants
from
this,
and
so
they
demolished
that
neighborhood
and
they
demolished
the
Horseshoe.
F
They
split
the
Horseshoe
in
two,
and
so
there
was
a
lot
of
displacement
associated
with
that,
and
that
is
and
one
of
the
ways
in
which
the
city
at
least
made
an
attempt
to
amend
that
was
by
creating
Palestinian.
So
that's
number
one
that
has
to
be
centered
within
the
context
of
the
conversation
when
you're
and
and
have
that
history
guide,
your
decisions,
I,
don't
think
that
that
has
been
properly
contextualized
Danny
Garcia.
His
father
is
the
first
Chicano
ever
to
legislate
policy
on
behalf
of
the
Chicano
community.
F
F
Why
I
flew
support
what
it
is
that
he's
doing
in
our
community
and
I
respect
what
he's
doing
in
our
community
and
I
respect
what
his
father
represented
to
my
community,
both
then
and
now
so
I'm,
respectfully
submitting
to
you
that
this
history
be
properly
contextualized,
not
not
rhetorical,
but
actually
concretely,
so
that
the
people
whose
lives
have
been
most
affected
and
impacted
by
institutionalized
racism
215
years,
at
least
in
some
ways,
amended
by
the
city
into
the
city,
acknowledged
that.
Thank
you.
B
G
B
H
Okay,
then
my
name
is
Maria
de
Leon
and
I'm
deputy
director
of
the
recreation
division.
Next
to
me
is
my
colleague,
Vidya
kalambi
she's,
a
division
manager
with
the
library
and
we're
both
very
excited
to
show
off
our
Dynamic
camps,
classes
and
activities
planned
for
this
summer
by
both
departments.
So
we'll
begin
with
pianist
programming
and
then
transition
to
the
library
efforts.
H
Okay,
so
what
what
you
see
in
front
of
you
is
is
a
map
that
illustrates
all
of
prns's
summer
programs
and
locations
which
cover
our
camp
San,
Jose,
camp
San,
Jose,
junior,
our
fit
caps,
our
aquatic
programming,
teen
centers
our
summer
food
service
programs,
as
well
as
our
regional
parks.
So
if
you
can
see
that
this
map
illustrates
that
we
have
camps
located
throughout
San,
Jose
and
across
all
city
council
districts,
so
we
will
be
operating
full
and
half
day
summer
camps
out
of
10,
Hub
centers
and
six
Regional
Parks.
H
Summer
is
our
busiest
season.
Our
program
supports
working
families
that
are
whose
children
are
out
of
school,
so
we're
always
on
the
go,
especially
during
the
summer.
We
hire
an
average
of
around
300
summer
employees
annually
and
we
begin
recruiting
in
the
beginning
of
the
year,
which
is
in
January,
so
our
Aquatic
program
operates
for
pool
city-wide,
which
are
Camden,
Fair,
Swim,
Center,
Mayfair
and
Ryland,
and
then
we
have
two
pools
that
we
contract
out
with
ant
Swim
School
at
Alviso
and
B
Brock.
H
So
we
provide
a
variety
of
swim
lessons
for
all
ages,
ranging
from
Toddlers
to
adults.
In
addition
to
our
swim,
lessons
which
are
very
popular,
Recreation
swim
is
available
to
the
community
after
our
swim
lessons
it's
usually
in
the
early
afternoon,
typically
from
2
to
4,
30
and
Saturdays,
mostly
from
2
30
to
5.,
so
Purina
staff
were
intentional
to
ensure
all
children
and
youth
can
participate
in
public
Recreation
opportunities,
whether
they
could
afford
it
or
not
through
various
efforts.
H
Next
are
some
examples,
so
we
have
our
priority
registration,
which
was
established
primarily
targeting
our
scholarship
eligible
families.
This
year
began
on
Wednesday
February
15th
through
Friday
February
24th
and
during
this
short
period
of
time,
prnest
distributed
approximately
1
million
29
686
dollars
in
scholarship
support
to
approximately
572
participants.
H
With
a
1.698
million
available
this
summer,
pureness
team
also
increased
our
marketing
efforts,
amplifying
Outreach
to
our
opportunity.
Neighborhoods
staff
also
set
up
mobile
registration
and
application
assistance
for
families
to
enroll
in
our
programs
and
scholarships
off-site,
so
the
community
did
not
have
to
go
to
our
community
center
to
register.
We
went
out
to
them
where
they
were
at.
We
also
developed
multilingual
marketing
and
Outreach
campaigns
for
summer
programs
in
four
different
languages.
H
We
also
collaborated
with
project
hope
and
coordinated
recruitment
efforts
during
their
events
like
litter,
pickups,
Second,
Harvest
meal
distribution
and
District
dumpster
days
and
additionally,
to
ensure
youth
living
in
Project
hope
sites
completed
the
application
process
for
summer
to
being
hired
for
our
summer
programs,
piernus
staff
Helbig
clinic
at
mayford
Community
Center
to
provide
technical
assistance
with
the
application
process
so
also
as
previously
presented.
Well,
it
wasn't
previously
presented
because
we
came
first,
the
safe
summer
initiative.
H
Grant
is
funded
out
of
the
San
Jose
Youth
Empowerment
Alliance,
and
it
is
intended
to
provide
Recreation
and
educational
opportunities
not
normally
available
to
youth
serve
through
the
alliance,
so
services
are
provided
by
our
non-profit
Partners
from
June
and
August,
also
during
the
summer
months
on
an
annual
basis.
So
this
summer,
360
728
was
awarded
to
28
agencies
to
do
just
that.
H
Foreign
has
a
scholarship
program
to
help
qualifying
families
with
their
registration
fees.
So
during
a
pre-covered
before
covid,
so
pre-coveted
scholarships
were
utilized
to
reduce
fees
for
mostly
25
no
75
percent
of
most
programs,
so
leaving
a
family
responsible
for
payment
of
the
remaining
program
fees.
H
So
they
would
end
up
paying
the
remaining
25
percent
of
a
registration
fee
with
the
75
covered
by
scholarships,
but
to
some
families
that
was
still
a
barrier
to
participate
and
some
of
them
just
didn't
or
weren't
able
to
afford
to,
but
utilizing
the
temporary
ARP
funding
prns
was
able
to
designate
funds
to
provide
low-income
families
with
100
of
scholarship
support
So.
As
a
result,
more
families
were
able
to
participate.
H
Unfortunately,
once
ARP
scholarship
supports
runs
out
as
it
will.
We
suspect
that
the
recreation
participation
levels
will
be
negatively
impacted,
so
what
you'll
see
is
like
the
next
two
slides
this
one
and
the
next
one
is
a
comparison,
a
scholarships
prior
to
covid
versus
scholarships
utilization
using
ARP
funding.
So
in
in
fiscal
year,
1819
prns
had
an
annual
scholarship
allocation
of
around
885
000,
spread
throughout
multiple
programs,
benefiting
approximately
two
2
000
Children
and
Youth.
I
Thus
Early
Education
summer
summer
learning
program
is
part
of
the
library's
border
effort
to
support
children,
ages,
0
to
5
and
their
caregivers
program
participants,
so
preschools
and
daycare
sites
throughout
San
Jose
will
receive
educational
materials
and
books
for
each
child
in
their
care
to
support
quality,
Early
Learning
opportunities
in
both
formal
and
informal
Early
Learning
settings.
This
year's
program
is
centered
around
the
book,
be
a
maker
by
Katie
house
will
inspire
creativity
and
construction
and
bring
out
the
inner
engineer
in
all
children,
as
they
discover
different
vas
to
build
and
create
the
library's.
I
This
summer
we
have
a
variety
of
programs
for
school
age.
Students
and
I
would
like
to
highlight
five
programs
coding.
5K
is
a
digital
literacy
initiative,
bringing
Tech
skills
to
local
Youth,
and
this
summer
we
will
be
hosting
eight
summer
camps.
Six
of
them
in
person
and
two
virtually
read
write
discover
is
designed
to
build
literacy,
confidence
in
youth
through
summer
tutoring
in
reading
and
writing,
and
we
will
be
hosted
at
five
locations
this
summer.
I
Teen
HQ
is
excited
to
announce
a
partnership
with
we
Thrive.
We
Thrive
is
a
non-profit
entrepreneur.
Apprenticeship
program
specifically
for
you
that
focuses
on
helping
them
start
their
own
Ventures,
earn
real
revenues
and
gain
mentorship.
Teens

money
for

I
Additional
information
for
this
program
is
available
on
our
website,
sjpl.org
teamhq
and
this
summer.
Last
but
not
least,
we
are
also
hosting
teen
interns.
This
is
a
collaborator
program
with
work
to
Future
and
prns
and
interns
will
be
assisting
with
various
library
programs,
shelving
of
books,
DVDs
and
generally
having
a
good
time
at
the
library.
This
summer,
with
30
percent
of
Youth
in
Santa,
Clara
County
living
in
food,
insecure
households,
many
school
districts
in
San
Jose
will
be
offering
free
lunches.
I
F
Thank
you
also
from
the
Horseshoe
I'm
very
concerned
about
the
ARP
funds.
This
is
funds
that
they
kind
of
kicked
it
to
you,
guys
so
I
I
know
this
has
nothing
to
do
with
you.
There's
some
members
on
this
committee
that
we're
here
there's
some
that
weren't,
but
what
the
last
council
did
is
make
sure
that
they
funded
these
and
then
they
kicked
it
to
this
Administration
to
kind
of
struggle
with
how
do
we
you
know?
How
do
we
keep
to
maintain
these?
We
shouldn't
be
put
in
that
position.
F
That,
in
itself
is
an
equity
issue,
we're
going
to
get
there.
People
I
am
going
to
guide
you.
We
are
going
to
get
there
as
a
city
in
institutionalizing
racial
Equity
to
combat
the
racial
inequity
that
we
have
experienced
over
generations
and
we
will
get
there,
and
this
is
one
of
the
ways
that
we
do.
This
is
that
we
institutionalize
these
policies
and
draw
it
from
the
general
fund.
Stop
stop
funding
these.
We
need
somebody
with
some
courage.
F
We
need
somebody
with
some
goodness
that
will
challenge
the
system,
that
we
can
no
longer
decline
to
fund
these
programs
with
these
kind
of
Grant
allocations.
They
must
start
coming
out
of
the
general
fund
and
be
institutionalized
to
where
these
are
done
without
question.
This
is
the
institutionalization
of
racial
equity.
F
Now
the
nonprofit
system
keeps
funneling
this
money
out
of
the
system,
because
they're
never
challenging
the
system
to
change
itself,
because
they're
too
busy
profiting
from
it
and-
and
you
know,
as
long
as
as
long
as
the
poverty
exists
in
the
community
they're
going
to
be
getting
fat
checks
from
the
government.
The
expense
of
these
they
use
what's
happened
with
these
kids
in
order
to
monetize
these
these
situations,
it's
it's
really
disgusting-
is
what
it
is
and
I
want.
This
I
want
it
to
stop.
K
Thank
you
so
much
Madam
chair,
I
really
want
to
thank
staff
for
putting
together
this
very
informative
report.
I'm,
truly
grateful
to
see
this
amount
of
coordination
and
investment
in
the
youth
and
families
of
the
city
of
San
Jose.
Many
of
our
you
know
working
class
families.
You
know
visit
these
programs
benefit
from
libraries,
community,
centers
summer
programs
and,
as
we
know,
when
these
kind
of
Services
aren't
being
offered
that's
when
you
know
individuals
may
go
down
the
wrong
path.
K
You
know
this
keeps
individuals
busy
engaged
and
learning
over
the
summer
where
you
know
a
major
learning
loss
has
occurred.
So
just
really
want
to.
Thank
you
for
this.
This
effort,
I
I,
do
have
a
question
someone
someone
had
told
me.
A
staff
members
told
me
that
in
previous
years
there
was
priority
given
to
youth
and
families
that
lived
in
Project
hope
areas.
Is
that
still
something
that
we
use
as
a
metric
here.
A
H
The
the
examples
that
I
gave
to
you
that
were
intentional,
that
I
mentioned
in
the
the
presentation.
A
lot
of
that
benefits
the
project,
hope
families,
particularly
the
early
registration.
Our
staff
goes
out
to
project
hope
events
to
ensure
that
our
popular
summer
camps,
that's
going
to
give
you
an
example,
our
summer
camps
that
are
all
day
and
as
well
as
our
after
school
programs
that
those
slots
are
are
designated
to
or
filled
by,
families
who
most
likely
couldn't
afford
it.
H
K
Thank
you.
I
I
really
appreciate
that
because
you
know,
as
as
you
know,
especially
in
Project
hope,
neighborhoods
there's
a
lot
of
distractions.
You
know
I'm
getting
news
in
my
own
District
that
youth
are
unfortunately
getting
recruited
to
gangs,
and
you
know
I
myself
was
a
gang
member,
so
I
don't
judge
them,
but
these
alternatives
are
essential
for
for
our
family.
So
I
really
think
that
and
I
I
appreciate
the
the
preemptiveness
and
work.
That's
done
to
make
sure
that
these
programs
are
accessible
to
our
our
families
in
gang
impacted
and
crime
impacted
neighborhoods.
H
I
also
want
to
mention
that
the
employment
assistance
is
what
we
also
not
only
just
the
programs,
but
we
encourage
them
to
apply
and
help
folks
through
the
employment
process,
so
that
if
we
give
folks
jobs,
these
teams
jobs,
they
will.
You
know
that
they'll
be
busy
as
well
and
also
be
part
of
our
pureness
family,
which
is
what
we
want.
L
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
So
much
for
your
for
your
work
and
the
presentation.
It's
truly
blessing
to
hear
that
we
are
going
to
have
summer
activities
for
our
youth,
which
is
super
important.
Obviously,
so
I
want
to
pick
it
back
off
what
you
just
mentioned.
I'm
now
a
council
member
but
I
started
with
the
city
as
a
as
a
Rec
leader
as
in
the
prns
department
and
so
I
think
it's
very
important
that
we
have
youth
from
our
under-resourced
communities
to
be
working
with
us.
H
In
terms
of
summer,
we
average
about
300
for
seasonal
employees,
but
we
also
have
a
opportunities
to
work
with
us,
part-time
and
full-time
even
during
year
round,
depending
on
vacancies.
So
in
terms
of
seasonal,
we
hire
around
300
year-round.
It
just
depends
on
the
vacancies
that
we
have
available
at
that
time.
I'll.
H
L
I
would-
and
we
could-
this
could
be
offline,
but
I
would
love
to
see
how
many,
how
many
youth
are,
are
hired
within
this
these
departments,
because,
as
you
may
know,
our
council
is
dealing
with
the
almost
seven
the
number
fluctuates
but
700
to
900.
You
know
vacancy
rate
and
within
our
departments,
and
so
I
think
it's
important
to
know
how
many
youth
are,
you
know,
being
are
working
in
our
prns
in
the
library
department
and
so
forth
and
so
forth.
M
So
for
recreation
we
have
about
40
youth
that
are
going
to
be
placed
from
San
Jose
works,
specifically
about
40
Youth
and,
generally
speaking,
the
all
the
community
centers
take
about
two
to
three
youth
each
and
we
don't
want
too
many
youth
right
in
each
of
the
centers,
because
what
we
really
want
is
there
to
be
an
intentional
incapacity
issue
wise.
So
we
want
to
make
sure
that
the
youth
are
getting
the
attention
that
they
need,
rather
than
having
too
many
youth
in
a
community
center
than
not
having
the
actual.
M
The
community
centers
are
having
the
capacity
to
actually
handle
that
number
of
Youth
that
we
have
that
come
from
our
programs.
In
addition
to
that,
the
library
has
been
at
incred.
Both
programs
have
been
incredibly
incredible,
Partners
to
us,
the
libraries
from
the
very
beginning
and
Recreation
for
the
very
beginning
to
open
their
doors
to
the
youth
that
we
serve
and
this
year
they're
going
to
serve
about
25
youth.
L
L
N
Thank
you
chair,
thank
you,
staff,
John,
ciccarelli
and
Jill,
and
all
the
staff,
and
perhaps
even
all
the
volunteers
who
got
together
and
put
these
programs
for
our
news.
I
just
got
a
few
questions
that
the
priority
registration.
Do.
You
have
continual
registration,
even
those
family
who
are,
you
know,
didn't
find
out
about
the
program
and
just
trying
to
get
onto
the
program.
At
this
point.
H
Yes,
so
we
have
some
activity
guide,
so
each
each
season
we
give.
We
have
set
aside
it's
a
permanent
thing
now
right,
it's
a
permanent
effort
for
a
specific
set
aside
for
scholarship
eligible
families
to
register
the
opportunity
to
register
10
days
before
the
general
public
does
so.
Yes,
it's
a
permanent
effort
and
it's
spread
throughout
the
year
and
the
days
are
dependent
on
our
seasons.
N
H
N
A
N
H
So
we
have
requested
put
in
a
budget
document
for
but
for
funding,
support,
I,
think
ongoing.
We
have
I
believe
around
800
000
annually
that
is
set
aside
for
the
for
the
general
fund.
We
also
have
I
believe
it
was
this
past
year,
where
we
had
a
credit
union
or
a
private
entity
that
that
provided
funds
and
specifics
for
the
scholarship
program,
so
we're
always
open
and
looking
for
opportunities
for
external
agencies
to
support
our
scholarship
programs.
Well,.
N
D
You
chair,
yeah,
I
I,
do
want
to
Echo
my
appreciation,
Maria
video.
Thank
you
for
the
presentation.
It
was
it's
exciting
to
see
what
kind
of
programming
we're
going
to
do
for
for
our
students
this
summer
or
for
our
kids
or
for
our
youth.
So
I
got
a
question
on
on
the
capacity
you
know
for
camp
San
Jose.
You
know
the
figure
figure
two
and
the
memo
you
know
we
have
a
capacity
of
you
know
600
et
cetera,
et
cetera.
What
is
the
percentage
that
that
we
fill
to
that
capacity?
D
Do
we
you
know,
do
we
have
do
we
ever
have
like
you
know,
drop-offs
as
the
summer
rolls
out,
like
you
know,
do
we
are
we
ever
100
I
mean
it's
probably
unlikely,
but
you
know
what?
Where
does
it
look
like?
Do
we
do?
We
have
an
idea
of
how
how
not
popular
but
how
engaged
are
or
how
many
students
or
youth
we
we
capture
with
our
programming
of
the
capacity
that
we're
able
to
provide.
H
So
we
do
track.
We
do
track
capacity,
you
know
after
the
the
camp,
so
then
we
could
have
a
more
legitimate
confirmed
amount
of
how
many
camps
were
actually
full
right
now,
if,
if
not
90
percent
we're
going
on
anywhere
between
95
and
100,
full
of
all
of
our
summer
camps,
and
so
that
really
has
to
do
with
the
ARP
funding
support.
You
know
the
last
two
years
we've
had
uptick
in
in
participation
levels
in
our
summer
camps
and
our
programs
and
after
school
programs.
H
D
Wonderful
and
then
so,
as
so
I
guess,
I
got
a
process
question.
If,
if
we
see
that
we
have
you
know
capacity
left
in
a
summer
camp
the
following
week,
the
week
after,
because
obviously
we
have
registrations
ahead
of
time.
What
kind
of
recruitment
do
we
do
as
a
process
just
generally
speaking
to
just
you
know,
get
to
that
95?
If
we
see
we,
you
know
we're
only
like
at
60
70
percent,
what
kind
of
recruitment?
How
do
we?
How
do
we
fill
slots?
Basically,
so.
H
D
H
So
we
have
just
right
now:
I'm
I'm
thinking
the
I.
Don't
have
my
phone
with
the
data,
but
I
think
it
was
Berryessa.
We
already
have
30,
plus
people
already
waiting,
so
we
could
always
tap
the
folks
that
are
on
the
waiting
list
to
if,
if
folks
don't
show
up
or
there's
not
enough
participation
in
one
site,
there's
a
neighboring
site
that
that
maybe
has
an
overflow
of
folks
and
then
we
tap
into
that.
D
I
B
H
B
B
B
B
So
it
looks
like
our
cost
went
from
our
spending.
Our
expenses
went
from
885
000
to
about
3.2
million.
Of
course
that
was
including
the
ARP
funding,
but
the
number
of
people
serve.
The
number
of
kids
in
the
programs
was
only
was
not
even
300.
More
so
I
understand
we're
covering
a
hundred
percent
of
the
cost,
but
my
question
is
so
I
understand
that
why
the
numbers
are
not
greatly
different,
but
we
were
covering
75
percent
of
the
cost
for
how
many
kids
last
time.
O
Thank
you
for
the
question:
councilmember
I,
I'm
understanding
the
last
part
of
your
question,
I'm,
not
sure
I
understand
the
first
part,
the
last
part,
meaning
how
many
kids
were
served
at
a
75
percent
level.
Yes
right
that
is
pre-tandemic
I,
don't
know
if
I
don't
know.
If
we
even
have
that
in
our
head.
P
O
During
the
pandemics,
when
we
switched
to
the
100
model,
of
course,
we
benefited
by
having
a
lot
more
funding
from
ARP,
so
we
could
do
that.
We
have
not
switched
back
to
that
model
in
the
coming
year
and
that's
partly
because
of
what
Maria
talked
about
that.
What
we're
realizing
is
that,
even
at
the
75
level,
that
remaining
cost
is
still
a
barrier,
it's
particularly
a
barrier.
If
you
have
more
than
one
kid.
Okay,.
O
Oh,
no,
it's
very
much
needs
based
yeah,
so
you
you
have
to
demonstrate
just
any
form
of
Public
Assistance
that
could
be
showing
us
that
you're
on
Social
Security
that
could
be
showing
us
that
you're
receiving
unemployment
benefits
or
that
you
have
a
CalFresh
card.
I
mean
it's
very
simple,
but
you
just
have
to
be
able
to
show
some
form
of
assistance.
Need.
Okay,.
B
B
O
O
H
Really
right,
yeah.
In
addition,
those
same
those
same
families
are
now
registering
for
the
programs
that
maybe
they
hadn't
registered
before
the
longer
ones,
the
full
day
camps,
and
so
because
they're
unduplicated,
it
doesn't
look
like
it's
a
lot
but
they're.
These
are
the
families
that
are
now
registering
and
are
enrolled
in
our
our
all-day
summer
camps
or
in
our
Rock
after
school
programs
or
in
our
preschool
classes,
and
so
it's
it's
now.
B
B
Is
there
a
way
we
could
structure
the
program
rather
than
just
either
you're
paying
25
or
you're
paying
100
to
a
sliding
scale,
so
that
people
who
can
afford
something
in
between
that
might
be
able
to
pay,
and
then
people
who
maybe
can't
afford
the
25
would
be
able
to
to
still
utilize
the
programs
at
this
level
and
I
would
I
completely
understand
that
the
the
less
you
are
able
to
afford
it.
The
more
you
probably
need
the
programs.
O
Agreed
it
is
something
we've
actually
considered,
and
you
know
it's
a
trade-off,
the
more
the
more
we
move
back
towards
the
75
percent.
That's
fewer
people,
that'll
get
the
100
and
though
some
of
those
will
drop
out,
they
won't,
they
won't
pay,
they
won't
be
able
to
pay.
So
you
know
for
us
our
obviously
our
Focus
would
like
to
be
able
to
do
100
for
anyone
who
needs
it,
we're
pretty
far
away
from
that
in
terms
of
funding.
We're
actually
going
to
go
backwards.
O
B
I
could
I,
maybe
just
throw
something
out
there,
maybe
a
pay,
what
you
can
model
for
for
people
who
qualify
and
and
then
also
we
got
some
private
funding
this
past
year,
but
those
who
are
paying
100
may
be
able
to
help
sponsor
someone
else.
So
maybe
a
couple
ideas
just
to
throw
out
there
for
for
folks
yeah.
B
Thank
you
thanks.
I
appreciate
the
discussion.
I
just
I
think
these
are
great
programs
and
I
know,
there's
a
ton
of
need
and
the
issue
with
with
doing
a
hundred
percent
was
continuing
to
do
a
hundred
percent
with
less
funding,
of
course,
is
that
we
have
fewer
kids
who
are
going
to
be
able
to
participate
and
I
want
as
many
kids
to
be
able
to
take
advantage
of
the
programs
as
possible.
B
B
S
That
being
said,
it
is
a
pleasure
to
be
with
you
today,
building
off
over
30
years
of
partnership
spanning
over
five
Mayors
in
countless
Council
administrations,
and
we
look
forward
to
another
set
of
of
council
that
we
get
to
embark
on
this
partnership
with
it's
been
an
amazing
journey
of
over
30
years.
Today's
presentation
will
highlight
the
great
partnership
to
keep
our
youth
and
San
Jose
Community
safe
between
City
programs
and
our
amazing
community-based
organizations.
S
The
legend
will
show
you
that
the
purple
or
shape
so
what
shape
is
that
that
purple
thing
is
the
Youth
Intervention
services
and
our
yellow
thingies
are
Grant
making
programs
Jimmy
depressing
anyways
for
those
of
you
that
are
new
to
their
Council
and
I
know.
Councilmember
Davis
has
been
with
us
for
a
while,
but
there's
so
many
new
faces.
The
seven
programs
that
make
up
our
Youth
Intervention
unit
are
our
female
intervention
team.
Pretty
self-explanatory
females
have
their
own
needs,
need
to
be
honored
and
service
in
an
appropriate
fashion.
S
So,
with
the
support
of
council,
we
have
that
our
safe
school
campus
initiative
aims
at
preventing
and
de-escalating
violence.
On
that
sacred
place,
we
called
schools,
middle
schools
and
high
schools.
19
school
districts
makes
it
a
challenge,
but
we
found
a
way
to
service
Clean
Slate
tattoo
removal
obviously
speaks
for
itself.
You
can't
get
to
your
future
if
people
are
judging
the
book
by
the
cover
so
taking
those
tattoos
off
your
neck
wrists
and
faces
obvious
hospital-based
intervention
for
those
poor
souls
that
do
end
up,
stabbed
or
shot
and
end
up
in
our
ER
rooms.
S
It's
not
just
the
time
to
sit
there
and
heal
and
infester
on
retaliation,
but
it's
an
awesome
opportunity
to
come
bedside
and
take
advantage
of
that
Epiphany
that
if
you
got
shot
or
stabbed
it
might
be
time
to
change
your
life
and
so
that
hospital-based
program
is
amazing:
Digital
Arts,
it's
our
ability
to
to
to
give
an
opportunity
to
this
marginalized
community.
That
has
a
story
to
tell
whether
through
photos,
videos
or
music
production.
S
We
call
that
our
icing
on
the
cake,
but
we
love
having
it
at
Roosevelt
Park
and
also
at
our
sonal
continuation
school.
The
last
two
are
San
Jose
Works
our
jobs
initiative.
Thanks
to
you
all,
we
also
place
over
150
youth
every
summer
in
viable.
You
know
career
resume,
building,
type
of
opportunities
and,
lastly,
our
late
night
gyms,
the
population
we
serve,
will
is
hesitant
to
come
to
our
average
everyday
hours
within
our
community
centers.
They
don't
feel
accepted
they
they
they're
marginalized.
S
That
being
said,
we've
found
a
way
to
open
up
these
doors
through
late
night,
gym,
offering
them
caring
adults,
warm
food
and
basketball
handball
soccer
and
people,
though
so
we're
just
recreating.
Well,
no,
that's
that's
the
hook
and
we
build
relationships
and
from
there
we
move
on
to
taking
your
tattoo
off
getting
you
a
job,
getting
you
back
in
school
Etc.
That
being
said,
let
me
pass
it
over
to
Petro
regera
to
tell
you
about
our
funding
arm.
T
Thanks
Mario
good
afternoon,
chair
and
committee
Petra
Aguero
program
manager
I
have
the
pleasure
of
working
along
with
my
team,
with
our
non-profit
Partners,
who
provide
all
of
the
services
through
these
Grant
programs.
We
have
some
here
today
and
so
I
want
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
give
you
some
background
on
the
bringing
everyone's
strengths
together,
grant
program,
which
is
our
largest
grant
program
and
our
safe
summer
initiative
grant
program,
and
so
both
programs
use
a
place-based
strategy.
T
So
with
that,
we
prioritize
our
services
within
hot
spots
in
San
Jose,
so
those
are
neighborhoods
in
San
Jose
that
experience
more
youth
crime,
and
so
we
prioritize
in
those
areas.
Both
programs
also
serve
the
alliance
population,
which
is
those
youth
and
families,
invest
that
experience
high-risk
Behavior.
So
we
prioritize
in
certain
areas
of
San
Jose
and
those
youth
and
families
that
have
the
highest
need
for
both
programs.
So
for
best
again,
it's
our
largest
grant
program.
We
fund
on
an
annual
basis
for
2122,
we
funded
a
little
under
2.5
million.
T
We
funded
15
agencies
and
through
best,
we
qualify
agencies
through
a
request
for
qualification
process,
and
that
is
on
a
tri-annual
basis.
So
every
three
years
we
qualify
and
then
we
fund
annually
for
those
types
of
services
like
school-based
Services
youth
groups
out
at
our
high
schools,
middle
schools,
some
elementary
schools.
We
have
youth
support
groups,
cognitive
behavioral
intervention.
T
We
have
Street
Outreach
intervention
services
where
we
have
agencies
going
out
to
all
18
hot
spots,
meeting
youth
where,
where
they're
at
doing
pro-social
recreational
activities
to
make
that
connection
and
engage
Youth
and
then
hopefully
bringing
them
into
case
management,
so
they
can
have
a
positive
person
in
their
life
and
hopefully
get
them
on
the
right
path.
We
do
vocational
training
so
getting
them
ready
for
jobs
and
working
with
parents,
building
their
parents,
parenting
skills
and
then
the
last
one
is
providing
Case
Management
Services.
T
So
that's
that
one-on-one
going
out
to
their
home
working
with
the
family
to
make
sure
they're
meeting
their
goals
as
a
family.
So
ssig
is
around
500
000
a
year
again.
This
is
an
application
that
is
annually
every
summer.
They
provide
services
June
through
August.
It's
a
smaller
Grant
we
Fund
in
in
the
last
2022
was
about
36
agencies
and
in
those
in
that
program
it's
mainly
recreational
and
enrichment.
We
do
some
academic
programs
that
help
elementary
kids
connect
to
their
middle
school
or
middle
school.
T
Kids
connect
to
their
high
school,
so
that
transition
is
a
little
easier,
and
so
that's
a
little
bit
background
on
those
two
Grant
programs
and
now
I
want
to
jump
into
the
participants
served
by
Youth
Intervention
and
the
grant
programs.
So
in
2122
we
serve
7609
participants
and
with
that
we
had
best
was
about
3
000
a
little
over
three
thousand.
We
had
ssig
that
served
2
800
in
2022
and
then
Youth
Intervention
served
about
a
thousand
seven
hundred,
and
so
what
you're?
T
Seeing
here
on
this
slide,
you
can
see
in
2021
agencies
and
staff
programs
were
still
limited,
with
covid
restrictions
and
still
doing
hybrid
virtual
classes,
we're
not
able
to
go
on
school
campuses
and
so
in
2122
you're.
Seeing
that
you
know,
people
are
back
in
person,
agencies
and
Youth
Intervention
we're
back
at
schools,
we're
back
doing
case
management.
You
know
in-person
services
and
so
you're.
Seeing
that
participant
increase
in
2122
so
I'll
turn
it
over
to
Israel.
Now
who's
going
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
some
demographic
information
on
the
participants
that
were
served.
M
Thank
you
Petra
this,
so
council
members,
this
the
issue
of
gang
involvement
and
youth
participating
in
that
has
always
and
there's
been
a
belief
that
it's
only
a
male
issue
and
is
not
you
know,
and
we
know
that
you
know
we.
We
stand
here
in
providing
those
resources
to
a
wider
range
of
both
female
and
male
because
of
the
fact
that
we've
had
leaders
in
the
council
as
well
as
advocates
that
have
consistently
told
us.
That
is
not
just
a
male
Center
issue,
and
so
therefore
you
know
with
best.
M
What
you
see
here
is
that
the
individuals
serve
through
best
females
is
about
was
about.
51
of
the
of
of
the
group.
Served
are
female,
while
males
made
up
about
48
of
those
participants
served,
and
that's
a
that's
because
of
the
fact
that
best
services
are
usually
focused
in
the
middle
schools
as
well
as
some
of
the
high
schools,
so
school-based
programming
tend
to
be
more
geared
towards
female
participants.
G
M
And
so
the
information
on
this
slide
really
highlights
the
fact
that
best
Services
about
80
percent
of
those
services
are
for
at-risk
and
high-risk
youth,
while
about
20
percent
is
for
the
gang
impact
they're.
Getting
intentional
and
I'm
glad
that
you
know
this.
This
resources
are
available
at
the
gang
intentional
gang
involved
level.
Because
of
the
fact
that
you
know
we,
we
can't
do
this
work
alone
right.
So
we
have
agencies
like
project
this.
M
You
know
for
youth
as
well
as
Catholic
Charities
that
are
providing
resources
and
services
to
our
most
at-risk
youth
in
the
the
most
marginalized
communities
which
we
have
about
18
hot
spots
now
and
they're.
Trying
to
like
you
know
we're
trying
to
change
that
name
to
like
opportunity
neighborhoods,
but
we're
glad
that
they're
helping
us
do
that
work
and
again
in
Youth
Intervention.
We
actually
have
about
a
hundred
percent
of
our
youth.
M
U
As
you
know,
the
best
program
is
a
very
robust
program
and
naturally
we
are
interested
in
learning
about
the
results
and
services
provided
by
our
grant.
Partners.
Petra
and
Israel
touched
upon
the
implementation
study
that
this
slide
reflects
the
outcomes
of
that
on
an
annual
basis.
The
best
Partners
administer
a
survey
provided
by
a
social
policy,
research,
spr
and
there's
abundance
of
information
on
the
full
report
with
the
link
is
provided
on
the
memo
for
you.
U
Confidence
and
perception
of
a
caring
adult
who
listened
to
them
are
great
outcomes
of
the
best
grant
program.
However,
we
do
not
want
to
sugarcoat
everything.
There
were
challenges
post-pandemic
due
to
the
Hybrid
models,
limited
one-on-one
services,
and
we
did
see
a
decline
in
connectedness
due
to
post
due
to
these
post-pandemic
factors.
U
However,
looking
forward
next
slide,
please,
let's
see
there
are
some
upcoming
key
projects
that
the
San
Jose
Youth
Empowerment
Alliance,
has
one
being
the
Strategic
plan,
which
is
adopted
for
2023-2026..
We
also
have
in
keeping
Pace
with
best
Youth
Intervention.
Services
is
now
in
the
second
phase
of
their
evaluation,
which
will
be
able
to
provide
feedback
of
the
performance
and
then,
in
addition
to
that,
the
best
partner
engagement
Group,
which
is
a
group
established
of
best
Partners,
who
provide
feedback
for
enhancement
of
the
program.
U
In
addition
to
that,
we
have
the
RFQ
for
the
best
which
we
are
currently
underway.
We
are
in
the
evaluation
process
where
we'll
be
able
to
determine
the
awardees
and
notify
the
awarded
partners
for
for
the
2023
to
2026
triannual
period,
where
we'll
be
able
to
have
a
new
qualified
eligible
providers
to
be
able
to
serve
our
youth
and
they
will
be
notified
next
month
in
June.
U
And,
lastly,
we
have
our
RFP
for
the
data
management
system
currently
underway,
which
will
be
able
to
help
San
Jose
Youth
Empowerment
Alliance
tell
a
story
of
what
we're
doing
through
data
that
we
are
wish
to,
that.
We
wish
to
collect
throughout
our
best
Partners
Youth
Intervention
Services,
amongst
others.
C
V
It's
a
pleasure
to
get
to
work
with
pnrs
I
think
the
the
work
that
we're
able
to
do
through
these
programs
really
helps
us
at
Catholic
Charities
to
fulfill
our
mission
of
serving
some
of
the
most
underserved
in
the
community
and
help
them
to
develop
strong
relationships
with
us
and
with
their
families
and
and
connect
them
to
the
community
to
help
them
to
get
some
some
positive
outlooks
on
life
and
and
important
changes
that
can
help
them
to
be
successful.
So
just
want
to
say
our
support
for
this,
and
thank
you.
B
Hold
on
a
second
okay,
if
there
are
other
members
of
the
public
who
would
like
to
speak
on
this
item,
there
are
yellow
speaker
cards
right
by
these
clear
boxes
on
each
side
down
in
the
front,
you
can
fill
out
a
speaker
card
and
turn
it
in
and
we'll
call
you
there
should
be
some.
They
might
need.
Some
writing
utensils
go
ahead.
We
can
go
to
zoom.
In
the
meantime,
Paul.
F
Thank
you
also
from
the
horseshoe
I
I
and
I
mean
this
sincerely.
Thank
you
for
the
types
of
questions
that
you
were
asking
councilwoman
Davis
I
appreciate
that
they
were
very
consistent
and
aligned
with
the
with
an
understanding
and
comprehension
of
what
you
were
looking
at
and
I
appreciate
that
we
need
to
really
move
away
from
the
language.
The
language
that's
being
used
in
these
meetings
is
disrespectful
and
I.
F
Don't
think
it's
intentional
not
from
anybody
here,
but
it
is
intentional
from
the
people
that
write
it
and
I
don't
know
if
maybe
AI
technology
is
possibly
writing
these
documents,
I
I,
suspect
that
there
may
be
AI
technology.
That's
writing
these
documents,
but
that's
another
issue
so
anyways
what
these
kids
are
from
various
that
when
you
put
the
redlining
map
on
top
of
it,
they
are
victims
of
racialized,
institutionalized
and
systemic
racism.
Until
we
get
to
that
language.
Within
the
context
of
these
conversations,
you
were
never
going
to
get
to
the
root
of
the
problem.
F
These
are
not
gang
impacted.
These
kids
are
not
gang
members
they're
looking
for
Familia.
Why?
Because
the
Familia
is
working,
these
people
are
poor.
These
people
are
the
ones
that
are
working
in
the
tractor.
These
are
the
sons
and
daughters
of
the
people
that
supported
this
city
throughout
the
pandemic.
In
the
construction.
F
In
the
hotels
in
the
Food
Service
delivering
the
food
preparing
the
food
stalking,
the
shelves,
these
are
the
sons
and
daughters
of
those
people,
so
we're
not
people
that
need
a
handout.
What
we
need
is
some
respect,
respect
from
the
city
and
respect,
and
we
want
it
through
budget
allocations
to
ensure
that
the
kids
that
were
most
impacted
by
systemic
racism
are
are
are
given
their
do
justice
and
we
do
it
economically.
Thank
you.
C
P
Hello,
my
name
is
Philip
Rodriguez
I'm,
the
founder
of
New
Hope
for
Youth
and
I,
just
want
to
you
know,
say
that
it's
been
an
honor
and
a
privilege
to
be
able
to
serve
the
community
through
this
Avenue
that
you
guys
give
us
right,
and
so
when
I
was
a
child
right,
there
was
none
of
this
in
the
70s,
the
80s
and
stuff.
There
was
nobody
coming
to
my
home
and
doing
home
visits.
P
There
was
nobody
coming
to
my
complexes
and
trying
to
take
me
out
to
pro-socials,
or
you
know,
trying
to
get
me
a
job
or
to
get
me
into
education.
You
know
I
mean,
and
so
this
right
here,
what
we
do,
it
really
does
work
and
I
mean
if
you're
looking
at
over
what
almost
2
million
people
in
this
city,
you
know
I'm
saying
and
where
the
gang
activity
is.
Where
the
you
know,
the
the
crime
is
right
now
in
other
cities,
it's
very
high
I
mean,
but
in
this
city.
P
Because
of
this
efforts
and
this
collaboration
between
cbo's,
you
know,
city
city
entities,
County
entities
and
stuff
and
the
work
that's
being
put
out
there.
It
really
does
work
right
and
so
we're
able
to
go
into
these
high
poverty
neighborhoods
we're
able
to
go
in
there
and
make
relationships
with
these
kids.
P
There
is
actually
activities
they
can
do
that
broaden
their
minds
or
the
Horizon
there's
more
to
life
right
and
so
I
just
want
to
say
you
know
what
thank
you
you
know,
I
mean
and
for
the
change
of
the
you
know
the
name
to
what
it
is
now
and
I
know
that
we're
working
on
changing
more
of
those
names
like
Paul
Soto,
said
the
gang
stuff
and
all
that
right.
That
does
need
to
be
changed.
K
Thank
you,
Madam
chair
and
I
really
want
to
thank
staff
for
the
very
important
presentation.
I
really
appreciate
the
work
that
you
do
being
the
council
member
of
District
Five
and
just
the
history
of
you
know
the
lack
of
intergenerational
wealth,
that's
been
built
in
District
Five
and
how
our
youth
have
been
siphoned
into
gangs.
Your
services
mean
a
lot
and
obviously
on
myself
as
a
young
adult
went
through
your
programs
as
well.
K
A
clean
slate
and
other
services
participated
with
organizations
that
were
funded
by
the
city
for
gang
intervention,
so
your
work
definitely
does
a
lot.
It
moves
mountains
for
these
Youth
and
provides
Alternatives
for
for
many
individuals
who
have
good
intentions.
However,
the
options
that
they're
being
provided
at
the
time
are
limited.
K
S
I'll
give
it
I'll
give
it
the
first
shot.
Council
member.
There
are
written
definitions
for
each
as
we
release
our
RFP
I
could
read
it
verbatim,
but
just
to
synopsis.
When
we
start
getting
into
gang
impacted,
it's
an
individual
who's
now,
probably
got
a
probation
officer
has
started
to
see
the
law
enforcement
type
of
angle
really
placed
upon
them.
It's
no
longer
just
a
fad.
It's
no
longer
just
clicking
up
and
hanging
out
with
buddies,
but
we're
committing
smaller
offenses
gang.
A
K
K
To
do
that,
like
hiring
blockers
and
things
like
that,
right,
okay
and
so
about
the
youth,
who
are
you
know,
quote-unquote
gang
intentional,
the
youth
that
may
want
to
resist
programming
right
because
I
remember
when
I
was
young
I
ain't
programming
with
the
city,
you
know
people
see
that
as
like
a
weak
thing
to
do
like
what?
How
do
we
reach
those
youth?
What's?
What
is
the
strategy
for
those?
You
know
because
I'm
happy
to
see
the
youth
who
are
participating
in
the
program,
but
I'm
also
worried
about
the
youth
who.
S
Aren't
well
council,
member
I'll,
let
Petra
jump
in
here,
but
I'll
tell
you
that
all
our
staff
within
Youth
Intervention
are
expecting
a
thousand.
And
ten
knows
it's
a
thousandth
and
11th
one
that
we're
hoping
to
just
finally
break
you
down
whether
I'm
a
gnat
in
your
ear
or
just
that
that
angel
on
your
shoulder.
That's
saying
when
you're
ready,
because
too
many
municipalities
and
organizations
are
built
on
a
grant
or
a
measure.
T
Yeah,
just
for
for
the
grant
program
for
best
we've
worked
with
the
non-profit
Partners
to
form
a
strategy
on
how
they
reach
out
to
these
youth
that
are
in
the
different
areas,
the
neighborhoods
in
San
Jose,
and
so
they
just
go
out
and
start
I'm.
Sure,
Philip
or
Dan
could
probably
explain
this
they're
the
experts,
but
I'll
do
my
best.
They
go
out
into
the
communities
and
they
make
what's
called
cold
Street
contact.
They
just
go
out.
They
see
where
these
the
kids
are
hanging
out
and
they
just
introduce
themselves.
T
It
starts
just
with
that
introduction
and
getting
them
engaged
into
different
activities.
They'll
do
a
pro
social,
a
barbecue.
They
start
building
that
relationship
and
start
building
that
respect
and
trust
and
then,
hopefully
getting
them
into
case
management
eventually,
which
they
then
is
a
whole
nother
program
where
you're
meeting
one-on-one
you're
meeting
their
families
you're
understanding
what
the
family
needs
you're,
hopefully
getting
them
a
job,
getting
them
resources,
and
so
that's
that's
typically
what
the
strategy,
of
course,
everybody's
different
and
so
may
require
you
know
different
types
of
services,
I.
K
I
appreciate
that
that's
the
I
think
the
Hands-On
approach
that
we
we
need
to
you
know
have
with
our
youth
if
they're
posted
up
and
poke
away
or
on
Oak
and
Almaden,
we
need
to
have
our
staff
going
out
there
saying
hey.
What's
up
what's
going
on,
these
are
programs.
This
is
alternatives
to
what
what's
going
on.
So
essentially,
that's
that's.
X
S
Absolutely
council,
member
that
in
itself
could
be
a
two-hour
presentation.
Let
me
try
to
give
it
to
you
in
the
snapshot
here.
It's
a
collaboration
between
sjpd
probation
ourselves
and
school
districts
to
to
have
a
protocol
that
aims
at
preventing
and
de-escalating
violence.
What
we
know
is
that
incidents
that
start
Friday
night
Saturday
night
out
in
our
communities
are
going
to
spill
onto
your
campus
at
8
A.M
Monday
morning,
unannounced
to
administrations,
they're
they're
unprepared.
So
this
communication
protocol
allows
us
to
communicate
to
schools
and
put
them
on
alert
when
needed,
and
vice
versa.
S
Council
member,
as
you
know,
be
starting
on
campus
is
going
to
spill
out
into
our
communities
on
the
weekend
before
this
initiative
was
in
place.
Both
silos
knew
things
were
going
to
happen,
but
the
left
hand
didn't
know
what
the
right
hand
was
doing
so
again.
This
partnership
really
means
we're
having
safety
meetings
with
every
school
district,
where
we
know
every
single
principal
and
vice
principle
of
discipline
on
all
19
school
districts.
There
are
a
approximately
100
middle
schools
and
high
schools
in
this
city.
It's
quite
an
achievement,
but
it's
also
our
largest
funded
program.
S
There
I
mean
I'm
predicting
the
future
of
our
allocation.
It
is
nearly
about
1.5
million,
get
put
into
safe
school
campus
initiative.
It's
a
team
of
about
20
interventionists,
sir,
that
have
lived
the
lifestyle
and
can
come
onto
campus
at
lunchtime
and
diffuse
things
be
there
after
school
and
then
these
same
interventionists
then
switch
into
case
management
approach.
S
As
you
know,
school
ends
at
3,
3
30.,
but
staff
work
till
7
10
pm
at
night,
depending
on
programs,
so
that
latter
half
of
your
day
is
when
you
really
get
to
take
on
eight
to
ten
youth
that
become
your
caseload
out
of
these
communities.
And
it's
been
an
amazing
process
to
see
how
that
high
touch
really
is.
What's
been,
the
most
effective
council
member.
K
I
appreciate
that,
because
I
know
that
a
lot
of
our
youth,
unfortunately,
are
you
know,
I
I
speak
about
gangs,
because
I
was
formerly
in
the
Gang
know:
the
realities
of
east
side,
San,
Jose
and
I
don't
mean
that
to
offend
anyone,
but
a
lot
of
them
are
introduced
at
school.
You
know
you
make
friends
there
you
go
hang
out
with
them,
they
introduce
you
to
other
individuals.
So
it's
really
important.
Even
in
our
middle
schools,
I
mean
I.
I
joined
a
gang
when
I
was
12
years
old.
K
K
Do
we
have
any
sort
of
metric
of
evaluation
for
the
organizations
that
receive
best
best
funds?
Are
we
looking
at,
like
you
know,
are
the
youth
that
participated,
participating
in
it
getting
better
grades?
Are
they
graduating
high
school
or
are
they
able
to
get
jobs?
What
sort
of
metric
are
we
using
for
the
non-profits
that
we're
collaborating
with.
T
So,
currently,
our
performance
measurement
framework
is
looking
at
mainly
social,
emotional
outcomes
and
participant
satisfaction.
Those
are
the
key
items
that
we're
currently
evaluating
and,
like
Maribel
mentioned
in
the
presentation,
we
use
a
survey
for
that
parent
and
participant
moving
forward,
though
we
do
want
to
look
at
academic
and
any
you
know
truancy.
T
We
look
at
any
arrests
probation,
which
is
what
we're
going
to
look
for
in
this
next
year,
we're
working
with
another
consultant
that
is
helping
us
to
frame
that
and
looking
at
data
sharing
agreements
being
able
to
share
individual
level
data
from
school
data
to
probation
data,
and
so
that's
something
that
is
on
our
Horizon,
that
we
definitely
want
to
get
to.
Okay.
K
Great
great
because
I
know
I've
worked
in
public
policy
previously
and,
like
I,
know,
I
want
to
make
sure
that
these
grants
aren't
being
provided
on
a
compliance
basis
just
because
they
check
boxes
and
things
like
that.
I
really
want
to
make
sure
we're
making
inroads
in
these
populations.
They
haven't
had
the
services
that
they've
needed,
they
haven't
had
the
opportunities,
so
I
want
to
make
sure
that
the
money
that's
going
to
this
is
actually
going
to
results.
But
that
being
said,
as
I
mentioned,
I
appreciate
your
work.
K
G
This
is
Andrea
if
I
could
just
add
in
I,
just
want
to
remind
those
members
of
the
committee
that
are
also
on
the
Youth
Empowerment
Alliance
policy
team
that
we
have
an
okr
specifically
about
bringing
back
data,
both
program
outcomes
and
sort
of
community
indicators
that
would
be
disaggregated
with
an
equity
lens.
So
that's
one
of
our
okrs
for
this
year.
L
Good
afternoon,
just
like
council
member
Ortiz
I'm
to
a
product
of
the
mayor's
gank
prevention
task
force,
so
you
have
two
former
participants
who
are
now
council
members,
and
so
that's
that's,
you
know,
speaks
to
volumes
of
the
incredible
work
that
our
mayor's
gang
prevention
task
force
or
now
yeah
is
doing
so
and
I
I
do
see.
I
do
see
so
up.
L
There
was
one
of
my
leaders
at
Washington
United
youth
center,
so
I'm
so
glad
that
he's
still
serving
our
our
Washington
youth
there's
a
very,
very
needed
program
in
in
our
Washington
neighborhood
I
have
I
have
a
couple
of
a
couple
of
questions.
I've
been
approached
by
by
a
couple
of
non-profits
to
to
to
work
with
our
our
at-risk
youth
and
I
know
that
I
see
her
late
night
gym
the
late
night
gym,
that's
run
by
that's
run
by
some
of
our
non-profits,
not
necessarily
our
city
right.
S
That
is
a
partnership
council
member
Torres.
We
do
have
a
city
dedicated
specialist,
coordinating
the
efforts.
You
know
purchasing
the
equipment
being
out
there,
but
at
each
one
of
those
late
night
gyms.
If
that
gym
is
in
the
hot
spot,
that
New
Hope
for
Youth
is
in
they'll,
be
the
street
Outreach
team.
That
recruits
and
is
there
physically
to
make
sure
we
have
a
ratio
of
acceptable.
You
know
it's
a
tough
population.
L
Right,
yeah
and
I
I
ask
because
I've
had
a
couple
of
service
providers
who
actually
want
to
take
it
out
of
the
you
know
the
environment
of
being
indoors
right.
I
know
that
one
of
the
service
private
providers
wants
to
do
like
a
a
late
night
basketball
session
at
pekesto
Park,
which,
as
you
know,
North
Side
no
longer
being
an
opportunity
neighborhood.
L
But
there's
still
some.
You
know
some
concerns.
You
know
of
ongoing
concerns
of
what's
happening
in
in
north
side
and
they
want
to
do
a
potential
like
summer
summer
time,
late
night,
gym
session
at
Picasso
park
outside
right.
So
I
was
thinking
of
of
you
know
connecting
you
all
with
with
the
service
provider
so
who.
S
T
T
L
Yeah
I
was
thinking
of
probably
doing
a
budget
document
from
my
from
my
office
for
this
organization.
So
I'll
keep
you
all,
definitely
keep
you
on
the
loop
about
that.
So
I
I.
It's
not
necessarily
not
necessarily
A
a
question
but
more
but
more
comments
on
on
why
our
youth
master
plan
I,
know,
we've
I've
been
talking
about
it
and
poor
John.
He
keep
I,
keep
catching
him
in
the
elevator
and
I.
L
But
but
this
is
this
is
the
reason
why
we
we
want
to
make
sure
that
we
have
youth,
that
we're
investing
in
our
youth
in
one
Silo
right
and
one
Department,
one
one
organization,
because
one
we
don't
want
our
youth
to
continue
to
fall
through
the
cracks
right,
because
we
know
that
investing
in
our
youth
right
deters
crime.
Investing
in
our
youth.
You
know
it
eliminates
poverty
right.
L
So
so
you
know
I'm
I'm,
committed
I,
hear
that
you
know
2.5
million
dollars
is
is
is
what
we
have
for
our
best
and
for
our
safe
summer,
I
asked
a
council
member
I
think
that
we,
it
should
be
more
right
because
I,
as
you
just
heard
this
morning,
right
with
with
some
council
members
concerned
about
redirecting
measuring
monies
and
redirecting
affordable
housing
money.
Well,
that's
why
we're
in
the
situation
we're
on
in
right?
L
We're
we
have
we,
we
have
crime
in
our
neighborhoods,
because
we
never
invested
fully
invested
in
youth
right.
We
have.
We
have
a
large
unhoused
population,
because
we
we
never
fully
invested
in
Youth
and
families
and
so
by
investing
in
our
youth.
Hopefully
we
can
eradicate
those
issues
and
create
a
beautiful
city
with
beautiful
neighborhoods.
So
thank
you.
D
D
You
know,
I
think
the
our
youth
truly
benefit
from
that
I
was
a
a
participant
in
the
late
night
gym
program
so
that
that's
three
participants
on
the
dice
of
this
program
back
in
the
day,
so
anyways
just
keep
up
the
good
work
and-
and
we
look
forward
to
to
interacting
and
strengthening
our
Our
Youth
Empowerment
movement.
Thank
you.
N
Thank
you,
chair
I,
appreciate
the
staff
on
the
incredible
work
and
Mario
Petra,
Israel
and
Emeryville.
Is
this
this
amaze
me
the
amount
of
work
that
you
guys
put
together
to
take
care
of
our
news
and
young
adults
and
again
thank
you
to
the
city
staff
and
all
the
volunteer
as
well.
I
do
have
a
couple
of
questions
to
Safe
school
campus
initiative
and
you
talk
about
police
involvements
and
so
on
and
I
would
imagine
police
involved
involvement
would
be
the
the
last
step.
N
S
Councilman
you're
right
on
point.
Pd
is
the
last
thing
we
want
to
resort
to.
We
respond
to
safe,
School
in
safe
school
campus
to
approximately
450
to
500
activations
annually,
although
this
year,
sir
we're
on
Pace
for
600
coming
back
from
the
pandemic,
there
was
a
lot
of
checks
written
online
and
now
kids
are
seeing
each
other
and
the
beef
is
real
now
right
and
so
we're
responding
a
lot
this
year,
but
typically
sir,
we
respond
in
three
levels
of
activation.
A
level
three
is
what
we
want.
S
We
want
an
administrator
to
call
us
when
it's
still
a
rumor.
We
hear
that
Petra
and
Maribel
want
to
fight
at
3
pm,
but
it's
only
noon.
Sort
of
you
know
our
school
administrators
God
bless
them
their
pseudo
parents
pseudo.
You
know
teacher
well,
they're
everything,
the
hat
the
amount
of
hats
they
wear
and
what
ends
up
happening
is
they
can't
follow
up
on
a
rumor
with
the
volume
of
work
they
do
so
at
three
o'clock,
Maribel
and
Petra
really
do
fight.
They
lose
their
education.
S
They
get
violated
on
probation
when
this
protocol
allows
us
again
through
communication
to
get
alerted
on
what
we
call
a
level
three
level.
Threes
are
what
we
want
the
most
of
a
level
two
is
it's
eminent.
We
actually
know
what
time
they're
going
to
fight
at
three
o'clock
at
the
bus.
Stop.
Can
you
please
send
staff
there
to
kind
of
prevent
it.
Our
mere
presence
can
stop
the
fight
a
level.
One
though
sir,
is
when
stuff
hits
the
fan
when
it's
out
of
our
control,
we've
had
a
mob
fight.
S
We've
had
an
intruder
with
a
gun
on
campus.
That
is
the
only
time
we
want
sjpd
there.
We
are
not
equipped
to
go
and
deal
with
that.
So
as
much
as
we
know,
law
enforcement
has
its
role
in
its
Lane.
There
are
times
where
even
us
in
the
intervention
World
know
that
law
enforcement
is
what's
needed
at
this
moment
in
time,
but
only
in
those
circumstances.
Thank.
S
Another
individual
could
take
up
to
two
years
council
member,
and
so
we
have
to
be
cognizant
of
our
backlogging
of
Youth
so
that
they
get
serviced
by
the
laser
in
a
timely
manner.
So
about
a
hundred
a
year.
But
currently
we
have
about
300
youth,
getting
treatments,
because
it
takes
so
long
to
finish
that,
sir.
But
it's
about
a
hundred
that
come
through
and
finish
their
30
hours
of
community
service,
they're
six
weeks
of
life
skills
courses,
and
now
it's
really
dependent
on
how
deep
that
tattoo
was
for
the
for
them
to
finish
the
process.
N
Y
Y
The
majority
of
our
commissioners
were
able
to
be
here
to
represent
themselves
they've,
been
doing
a
tremendous
amount
of
work
on
learning
about
how
the
City
Works,
how
you
all
work,
how
you
influence
the
city
through
policy
and
how
they
can
even
be
more
effective
in
informing
and
supporting
the
work
that
you
do
as
Council,
so
I'm
going
to
introduce
Megan
Malloy,
who
is
our
librarian
at
teen
HQ
at
the
Martin
Luther
King
Junior
library?
And
she
is
the
main
staffer
who
supports
the
youth
Commission.
Q
X
Right,
thank
you,
Miss
Moy
and
just
for
the
record
Miss
boys.
The
best
just
want
to
get
on
the
record,
but
yeah
all
right
so
good
afternoon,
council,
members
and
staff.
My
name
is
Gordon
Chen
I
represent
district
one
and
have
had
the
pleasure
of
serving
as
chair
for
the
past
year
on
the
San
Jose
youth
commission
I'm
here
today
with
my
fellow
Commissioners
to
provide
an
update
on
the
youth
commission's
activities
this
year
developed
over
50
years
ago.
X
The
youth
commission
represents
approximately
248
000
youth
under
the
age
of
19
in
San
Jose,
promoting
available
resources
and
opportunities,
providing
Equitable
access
and
support
to
marginalized
youth
communities
and
developing
policy
recommendations
concerning
youth,
the
library
Department,
namely
the
teen
HQ
units,
assumed
leadership
and
management
of
the
San
Jose
youth
Commission
in
2021,
aligning
with
the
city's
education
and
digital
literacy
strategy.
The
youth
commission
leads
on
the
values
of
responsibility,
teamwork,
empathy,
inclusivity,
empowerment
and
integrity.
X
Yeah,
the
youth
commission
is
comprised
of
11
Commissioners,
one
from
each
city,
council,
district
and
one
city-wide,
and
they
work
alongside
other
volunteer
youth
in
their
District
youth
advisory
councils
or
Yaks,
to
develop
policy
proposals
host
events
and
create
initiatives
to
better
relay
youth
priorities
and
movements
to
local
public
officials.
The
city
of
San
Jose
youth
commission
outlines
a
work
plan
for
the
fiscal
year,
2022-23
to
empower
San,
Jose
Youth
and
provide
them
with
a
safe,
inclusive
and
accessible
space
to
express
their
passions
and
interests.

The
youth
commission
received
approval
to
create
and
maintain
an
Instagram
account
to
outreach
to
San
Jose
Youth
and
promote
resources,
opportunities
and
events
happening
in
the
city.
In
addition
to
updating
the
youth
Herald,
our
Outreach
newsletter,
that
is
hosted
on
the
library's
website,

The
commission
conveyed
youth
priorities
of
safety,
the
environment
and
social
Equity
through
policy
recommendations
and
memorandums.
Finally,
they
submitted
a
letter
of
budget
priorities
and
recommendations
to
the
city
council,
based
on
the
city,
budgetary
forecast
and
youth
input
from
the
annual
budget
Summit.
AD
My
name
is
ananya
sriram
I
represent
district
7
and
have
had
the
pleasure
of
serving
as
a
commission's
vice
chair
for
the
past
year
in
October
of
2022
city
council
directed
the
youth
commission
and
staff
to
explore
expanding
the
age
of
the
youth
commission,
appointment
eligibility
and
expanding
youth
representation
on
City
boards
and
commissions.
The
commission
developed
recommendations
to
increase,
diverse
and
underrepresented
youth
civic
participation
and
provide
a
seat
at
the
table
for
young
people
to
contribute
to
decisions
made
on
their
behalf.
AD
Article
5
of
the
San
Jose
Bill
of
Rights
for
Children
and
Youth
states
that
children
and
youth
have
a
voice
in
their
local
government
to
advocate
for
the
issues
that
matter
to
them.
This
article
recognizes
the
importance
of
engaging
youth
people
in
local
government
and
the
inclusion
of
Youth
and
decision
making
is
critical
for
creating
a
more
Equitable
and
sustainable
future.
AA
Young
people
have
unique
perspectives,
skills
and
experiences
that
can
contribute
to
creating
more
Innovative
and
effective
solutions
to
address
social,
economic
and
environmental
challenges.
The
recommendations
strengthen
the
role
of
the
youth
commission
to
serve
as
a
bridge
between
young
people
and
the
government
officials
helping
to
ensure
that
the
voices
of
young
people
are
heard
and
considered
in
policy
decisions.
The
library
will
report
on
these
recommendations
at
the
next
month's
NSE
meeting.

Thank
you
for
your
time.
We
we
greatly
appreciate
this
opportunity
to
share
a
little
about
our
work
with
the
broader
audience,
and
I
am
confident
that
future
Commissioners
will
build
off
of
our
progress
this
year
to
continue
improving
the
quality
of
life
and
expanding
opportunity
for
the
Youth
of
San
Jose,
building
a
safer
and
more
Equitable
space
for
youth
to
express
themselves
in,
and
today
does
Mark,
essentially
the
end
of
both
my
youth
commission
and
high
school
careers.

I
Y

Okay,
thank
you.
Paul
Soto
from
the
Horseshoe
I've
attended
many
of
these
youth
commissions.
Like
again
you
guys
I
know
you
guys,
don't
believe
this,
but
I
literally
go
to
every
single
meeting
and
one
of
the
things
that
I
noticed
is
that
there
is
kind
of
a
lack
there's,
a
lack
of
understanding
and
comprehension
of
exactly
what
Equity
is
because
inequity
has
never
been
centered
within
the
context
of
these,
this
particular
meeting
so
having
what
would
be
helpful
and
what
I
try
to
instance.
F
The
people
that
are
into
me
is
that
we
have
to
examine
from
1846
until
today
and
see
the
progression
see.
I,
don't
expect
somebody,
that's
Vietnamese
to
understand.
I,
don't
expect
somebody
that
is
Indian
from
from
Asia
to
understand
what
it's
like
to
be
Chicano
or
Mexicano
in
California.
I.
Don't
expect
that,
but
when
it
comes
time.
L
Hi
good
evening,
good
evening,
those
comments
near
me
off
so
good
afternoon
and
you
know
thank
you
for
all
the
work
that
that
you
that
you
did
but
I
was
part
of
The
District
3
Yak.
Also
when
I
was
a
a
youth.
So
just
all
involved
here,
I
know
so
you
know
I
want
to
congratulate
commissioner
Chen
on
graduating
high
school
and
going
on
to
college.
So
congratulations.
It's
extremely
important!
Q
We
do
have
a
Facebook
book
is
able
to
recover.
Finally,
oh
good,
and
so
we
are
working
on
building
a
little
bit
more
strengthening
our
Outreach,
and
that
will
be
built
a
little
bit
closer
into
our
work
plan.
Next
year
is
a
plan
and
we
will
be
utilizing
Facebook
and
Instagram,
and
then
we
do
have
the
youth
Herald
blog,
which
lives
on
the
library
website,
where
we'll
be
updating
it
with
events
and
information
about
things
that
the
youth
commissioner
doing
in
the
community
great.
Q
AC
Q
L
Great
and
and
just
a
last
question
before
a
motion
to
support
the
item,
I
saw
it
here,
shoot
I'm.
So
sorry
super
great
the
youth
priorities,
General
neutral
bathrooms-
that's
great,
you
know
paid
leave
for
city
employees,
I
know
we've
all.
We've
all
had
those
conversations,
flashing
lights
at
pedestrian,
Crossings,
good
job,
that's
important,
especially
in
front
of
our
in
front
of
our
schools.
Sucks
I
had
it
right
here,
oh
here
it
is
just
a
quick.
L
Q
So
what
we
we
hope
to
align
the
work
plan
a
little
bit
closer
alongside
NSC
work
in
the
next
NSC
meeting.
The
library
will
have
recommendations
going
forward,
basically
through
with
the
because
of
the
youth
commission,
that
explore
kind
of
enhancing
the
youth
commission's
role
in
local
government
and
and
their
advisory
and
recommendation
capacity
and
working
aligning
our
work
plan
to
be
closer
with
nsc's
work
plan
and
city
council
Horizon
reports
is
is
what
we
look
to
do
in
the
next
fiscal
year.
Great.
L
Y
Button
I'm
not
aware
that
in
the
past
year
that
there's
been
a
close
integration,
but
it's
certainly
something
that
we
could.
We
could
pursue
in
the
next
year.
Work
plan,
I,
think
that's
a
great
idea
and
and
I
was
going
to
also
Megan
actually
said
what
I
was
going
to
say,
which
is
that
one
of
the
great
things
this
youth
commission
has
done
has
explored
recommendations
for
this
committee
for
next
month
about
formalizing
their
role
a
little
bit
more.
So,
as
Megan
said,
it
is
more
aligned.
Y
But
what
that
means
is
that
when
you
receive
recommendations
that
anything
that
has
to
do
with
youth,
you
will
also
hopefully
receive
their
input
at
the
same
time,
and
so
so
I
think
a
closer
alignment
of
all
those
programs
would
really
be
in
order,
and
so
again,
you'll
hear
more
about
it
next
month.
But
then,
at
our
next
meeting
great.
L
D
K
I,
just
really
want
to
congratulate
the
youth
commission
for
all
their
hard
work.
It's
really
important
Progressive
to
see
you
all
sit
there
in
that
box
and
present
to
our
committee.
That's
definitely
what
I
was
that
not
what
I
was
doing
when
you're
I
was
your
age,
so
I
really
proud
of
all
of
you.
It
takes
a
lot
of
confidence
to
sit
there
and
present
and
just
do
the
work
that
you
you
do
also,
of
course,
I
want
to
shout
out
my
commissioner
Andrew
we've
done
a
few.
K
N
You
thank
you
bye,
I
mean
thank
you,
chair
great
presentation.
Thank
you
for
volunteerism.
Thank
you
for
being
the
leadership.
I
would
imagine
you
guys,
Inspire
and
Empower
other
youth
to
do
Civic
duties.
The
only
suggestion
I
I
have
is.
Perhaps
one
of
your
item
is
to
get
a
lot
of
mentorship
from
many
different
companies.
N
You
know
from
the
very
small
mom-and-pop
to
the
the
big
Corporation.
So
that
way
we
can
get.
You
know
the
news
to
understand
what
it
is
to
be
in
a
professional
career
or
even
a
be
an
electrician
or
a
plumber.
There's
nothing
wrong
with
that
and
I
think
it's
important
that
you
guys
be
able
to
reach
out
to
Corporation
and
I
would
imagine
there'd
be
very,
very
supportive
of
your
program.
Thank
you.
B
AE
Thank
you
so
much
Avi.
Thank
you,
chair,
Davis
and
council
members
for
having
us
here
today,
as
Avi
said.
We
are
super
excited
to
present
this
so
we're
today.
We're
here
today
present
the
annual
report,
which
encompasses
all
volunteer
opportunities.
Within
prns
volunteers
are
utilized
according
to
their
skills
and
contribute
thousands
of
hours
a
time
each
year,
working
at
community
centers
city
parks,
city
trails
and
in
the
community
engaging
residents.
AE
AE
All
right,
so
this
next
slide
looks
like
an
org
chart
and
it
kind
of
is
so.
This
reflects
our
current
volunteer
structure
within
prns.
As
you
can
see,
the
department
offers
a
wide
range
of
volunteer
opportunity
opportunities
through
all
our
divisions.
The
Department's
volunteer
management
unit,
led
by
Leticia
spino,
is
responsible
for
supporting
all
volunteer
activities
across
the
different
department
divisions.
AE
AE
As
shown,
the
Department's
supported
volunteerism
increased
dramatically
in
2021-22
as
more
community
members
felt
comfortable,
resuming
volunteer
activities
with
improving
Public
Health
commission
conditions,
the
overall
value
of
the
work.
These
volunteers
clearly
makes
an
impact
to
the
department
and
helps
us
to
continue
to
grow.
AE
AE
AF
Thank
you
Tori.
Thank
you,
everyone
for
having
us
here
today,
so
the
department
offers
two
main
options
for
individuals
or
groups
who
want
to
volunteer
to
help
Steward
the
city's
Parks.
That's
one
day,
events
and
adopt
a
park
program
for
the
year
21-22
we
had
over
6
673
volunteers,
engage
in
volunteering
out
at
a
parks
and
trails,
32,
203
hours
of
hard
work
and
service
provided
to
the
city
of
San
Jose
at
over
179
park
locations.
AF
The
program
is
adaptable
to
all
abilities
and
modifications
can
be
made
to
ensure
that
everyone
has
a
role
to
play.
The
goals
of
this
program
are
to
assist
with
various
projects
and
help
Implement
special
projects
such
as
native
Gardens
implementations,
while
fostering
a
sense
of
community
and
Civic
engagement.
Next
slide,
please.
AF
As
you
can
see,
in
2019,
only
33
percent
of
volunteer
events
were
held
in
a
park
that
had
an
HPI
percentile
of
50
or
less
by
2022.
However,
55
percent
of
events
were
held
in
a
park
that
had
a
HPI
percentile
of
the
three
or
less
next
slide.
Please
now
moving
into
adopt-a-part
program,
which
is
a
longer
term
commitment,
a
volunteer
opportunity
that
involves
adopting
a
specific
Park
and
taking
responsibility
for
some
of
its
stewardship
and
Improvement
adopt-a-part
volunteers
are
provided
with
trading
tools
and
support
from
the
volunteer
management
unit.

It

The

is
a
resident

that
provides
backbone.
Support

reflect
various
Community
efforts,
such
as

J
These
courageous
board
members
and
volunteers
who
support
their
neighborhood
association,
often
juggle
multiple
jobs,
personal
responsibilities
and
many
times
personal
hardships.
Yet
all
the
board,
members
and
volunteers
have
demonstrated
a
great

responsibility

ensure

But,
most

There

13
community

including
10,
made
Hub

and
three
Outreach

These

were
successful
because
of
6926
volunteer

provided
by

These

supported
our

with

and
our
older
adults
as
well.
AH
AE
So
next
steps.
What
are
we
looking
to
as
you've
heard
today?
We
have
many
many
wonderful
volunteer
opportunities,
but
with
any
great
program,
there's
always
room
for
improvement
so
for
the
future.
Year
we're
looking
at
streamlining
our
efforts
with
more
coordination
to
make
volunteering
a
little
bit
easier.
AE
AE
B
Thank
you
and
I
want
to
thank
you
Leticia,
especially
you
and
your
team
and
and
all
of
prns
for
everything
you
do
to
improve
the
and
increase
the
participation
of
of
our
volunteers.
It's
especially
changed
over
the
last
few
years
and
at
least
in
my
district
and
it's
been
great,
to
see
how
many
I
can't
even
keep
up
with
all
of
the
events
that
you
do
all
over
the
city.
So
it's
really
great
and
I
very
much
appreciate
it.
We'll
go
to
public
comment.
B
F
F
Think
I
think
we
really
need
to
examine
how
we
talk
about
the
that
statistic
that
you
use
the
healthy
or
the
HPI,
because
when
you
look
at
that
map,
what
we're
looking
at
in
our
face
is
a
very
clear
articulation
of
how
the
segregated
neighborhoods
created
these
unhealthy
neighborhoods
that
it's
not
an
accident
that
that
map
is
created.
That
way-
and
we
really
have
to
be
conscious
of
that.
You
know
very
cognizant
of
that,
because
we're
we're
looking
at
evidence
of
how
racism
is
a
public
health
issue.
F
F
L
Incredible
work:
you
all
do
I
put
I've
gone
to
these
events,
not
only
as
a
as
a
you
know,
a
candidate,
but
also
now
as
a
as
a
council
member.
So
it's
it's
it's
always
great
to
for
our
prns
to
to
work
with
other
folks
to
help
improve
our
Parks.
So
thank
you
for
all
that.
You
do
I
think
it's
an
incredible
work
and
it's
always
important
to
make
sure
that
we
have
beautiful
Parks
across
our
city
right
and
so
that's
why
I
I!
L
There
are
two
areas
of
concern
that
I
have
so
you
know
not
to
be
Debbie
Downer
here,
but
our
our
HPI
percentile.
Obviously,
it's
very
concerning
that
three
five
and
seven
right
are
still
at
our
lowest
in
our
city
and
I
know
you
and
our
city
and
other
partners
are
trying
to
I.
Don't
know
lower
that
and
eradicate
that
I.
L
Don't
know
it's
kind
of
weird
number
erase
it
I
don't
know
make
it
greener,
but
but
so
we
all
have
to
work
together
on
that,
so
the
other
one
is
I
did
see
that
we've
kind
of
made
some
movement
on
the
adopt-a-park.
The
last
presentation
it
was,
we
were
at
a
low
70s
and
now
we're
at
86
Parks
out
of
210.
By
the
way
we
have
210
parks
in
the
city
of
San
Jose
for
all
those
you
listening
out
there
and
only
86
have
been
adopted.
L
That's
a
very,
very
low
number,
but
like
I
mentioned
since
the
last
time
in
February,
that
number
has
slightly
gone
up,
which
is
great,
so
you
know
I'm
gonna,
hopefully
do
my
part
so
I'm
gonna
have
my
team
send
out
something
to
say:
you
know
adopt
the
park
because
that's
it's
it's
it's
important
that
other
organizations
are
adopting
our
parks
and
creating
beautiful
parks
with
us.
So
with
that
I
motion
to
support
item
D3.
N
D
I
know
those
single
day.
Events
are
hard
work
and,
and
volunteering
is
tough,
but
you
you
give
us
all
the
tools
and
I
mean
I
know
my
back
was
sore
just
for
from
pulling
leads
for
a
couple
hours.
So
I
can
only
imagine
our
our
tireless
volunteers
to
go
on
data
day
in
day
out,
so
so
big
Kudos
and
and,
however,
my
office
can
be
helpful.
I
know
you
held
that
you
you
helped
with
a
dumpster
day.

Oh
you
just
Paul
saw
them
from
the
Horseshoe
speaking
with
in
the
context
of
neighborhoods
and
Parks,
and
Recreation
I
am
very
troubled
to
see
when
I
walked
into
the
Vietnamese
museum
at
at
the
history
park.
What
I
was
looking
for
was
a
reflection
of
myself
and
I
should
absolutely
see
myself
reflected
in
the
Vietnamese
Museum,
because
it
was
the
Chicano
community
that
made
the
freedom
that
the
Vietnamese
community
experiences
now
possible.
F
The
Chicano
moratorium,
which
was
not
reflected
in
the
Vietnamese
Museum,
was
a
very
critical
part
of
United
States
history,
the
Mexican
Community
Chicano
Community,
comprised
of
over
20
percent
of
the
casualties.
Yet
in
Vietnam,
which
was
the
most
of
any
other
race,
any
other
race,
it
was
the
Chicano
communities
in
the
United
States
that
made
the
freedom
that
the
Vietnamese
Community
now
enjoys,
which
means
that
we
are
the
backbone
of
the
Vietnamese
Community.
F
It
is
because
of
our
sacrifices
which
48
Chicanos
are
on
that
wall
and
when
I
walk
into
the
Vietnamese
Museum,
there
is
no
reflection
of
our
history,
absolutely
none,
and
so
it's
like.
Why
is
it
that
we
are
allowing
these
statues
to
be
placed
in
that
museum,
which
there
was
hundreds
of
thousands
of
dollars
that
was
paid
through
through
councilwoman
Esparza?
F
To
put
these
statues
that
are
representations
of
War?
But
yet
those
statues
did
not
go
through
the
Arts
Commission,
and
yet
they
are
a
part
of
Duran
city
property.
So
why
are
we
placing
statues
that
and
allowing
Monies
to
be
paid
to
to
council
members
and
through
history,
San
Jose,
in
order
to
establish
museums
that
never
went
through
the
Democratic
process
to
determine
what
these
statutes
represent,
because
they
certainly
don't
represent
the
Chicano
community?.
