Oic
now
I
see
the
rest
of
my
group,
all
right
so
welcome
everyone
to
Neighborhood,
Services
and
education
committee.
Today
is
November
10th
and
I'm
I'm
remotely
chairing
this
committee,
but
we're
going
to
make
it
work
and
so
I
see
my
colleagues
at
the
diocese
and
I
believe
we
have
Quorum
correct,
correct.
C
D
C
Thank
you
Carrasco
here
arenas
here.
B
Thank
you,
wonderful.
Thank
you.
So
much
our
first
item.
We
have
six
items
on
our
agenda,
so
I
just
want
to
preface
this
meeting
by
saying
we
will
stay
here
as
long
as
you
all
want
us
to
stay
here.
B
So
please
make
sure
that
we
are
concise
with
our
presentations
as
well
as
our
feedback
I'm
putting
and
I
hope.
My
colleagues
agree,
I'm
putting
a
five
minute
limit
on
council
member
comments
and
questions.
If
the
clerk
completes
make
note
of
that
and
we're
going
to
begin
by.
Oh
the
consent
calendar
there
isn't
anything
on
consent.
This
is
item
C
and
then
we're
moving
on
to
reports
to
the
committee,
which
is
item
d
one-
and
this
is
community
garden
program
status
report.
B
Welcome.
I,
see
people
have
already
set
themselves
up.
F
Thank
you
good
afternoon,
chair
members
of
the
committee.
My
name
is
Avio
Tom
and
I'm.
The
deputy
director
of
parks
and
parks,
recreation
and
Neighborhood,
Services
and
I'm,
proud
to
join
my
colleagues
division
manager,
Tori
O'reilly
program
coordinator,
Manny
Perez,
an
online
program
manager,
Leticia
spino,
to
provide
a
status
report
and
overview
on
our
community
garden
program
before
I
turn
it
over
to
the
team.
F
I
just
want
to
frame
a
little
bit
that
this
is
a
program
that
produces
meaningful,
impressive
and
truly
tangible
results
for
a
thousand
members
of
our
community,
helping
them
in
so
many
ways
that
you're
going
to
hear
about
and
for
a
program.
As
lean
as
you'll
hear
it
is
it
truly
punches
above
its
weight
with
that
said,
I'll
turn
it
over
to
division
manager,
Toria
Riley,.
G
Thank
you,
Lavi
Community
Gardens
have
been
around
for
a
long
time
and
they
grew
out
in
need
the
first
community
garden
opened
in
Detroit
in
the
1890s
as
part
of
the
recession.
That
was
happening
at
that
point
in
time,
with
surges
seen
in
growth
and
Gardens
during
World
War
II,
the
Great
Depression
and
I'm
sorry
World
War
One,
the
Great
Depression
and
World
War
II,
at
which
time
over
40
percent
of
the
nation's
produce
came
from
Victory
Gardens.
I
I
Connection
to
activate
San
Jose,
as
you
may
know,
the
department
feels
strongly
about
the
guiding
principles
of
activate
San
Jose
listed
on
this
slide.
The
Community
Gardens
program
has
aspects
which
connect
to
each
of
these
principles,
in
both
spirit
and
action.
Stewardship
ensures
sustainability
of
garden
spaces
for
future
use.
I
I
I
I
G
G
G
This
seems
like
the
opposite
should
be
true
when
analyzing
the
reasons
why
we
found
out
that
residents
in
some
of
these
lower
income
areas
often
cannot
afford
the
cost
of
the
garden
fees
from
the
information
above
staff
recognized
two
very
important
aspects
of
the
program
which
need
to
be
addressed
in
a
timely
manner.
The
first
is
to
identify
funding
for
scholarships
to
allow
access
to
Gardens,
regardless
of
participants
abilities
to
pay.
G
Okay,
so
moving
forward,
our
staff
are
extremely
proud
of
our
current
community
garden
program
and
believe
it
can
be
taken
to
a
higher
level
above
our
recommendations
from
a
2016
study
and
the
which
staff
have
come
up
with
as
next
steps.
The
department
is
currently
looking
for
strategies
to
implement,
implement
the
steps
above
so
this
concludes
our
report
on
Community
Gardens.
We
ask
that
you
accept
our
first
ever
report
on
Community
Gardens
and
we
look
forward
to
presenting
again
in
the
future.
Thank
you.
J
Hello:
okay,
it's
working
now
hi
Blair
Beekman,
with
Mike
working
I
wanted
to
say
hello.
This
is
an
item,
that's
interesting
to
myself.
Thanks
for
your
report,
and
that
is
the
first.
It
is
the
first
ever
community
garden
report.
J
I
know
that
Tessa
woodmansee
I
mean
she
used
to
come
here
all
the
time.
Talking
about
the
importance
of
Community,
Gardens
and
I
thought
it
was
important
to
mention
her
name
and
all
the
work
she
does
towards
this
item.
For
myself,
it's
just
a
matter,
I,
don't
know
as
much,
but
it's
nice
to
learn
what
you're
talking
about
with
this
item
and
what
is
possible
with
this
item,
it's
my
feeling
that
in
a
city
you
know
it's
a
small
little
things
that
we
do
the
small
little
projects.
J
You
know
the
work
with
accountability
with
technology
that
I
do
it's
not
you
know
so
flashy,
but
if
you
really
work
on
it,
like
with
the
community
garden
issue,
there's
a
sum
total.
That
really
is
is
just
the
good
things
of
a
city,
and
this
is
really
one
of
them.
So
good
luck
to
yourselves
on
on
how
to
develop
the
community
garden
process
from
your
Maps.
J
You
know,
even
though
there's
kind
of
a
food
desert
within
the
central
part
of
the
San
Jose
there's
a
lot
of
Community
Gardens,
also
as
well,
which
that's
an
interesting
combination
which
made
me
think
of
you
know
the
work
of
Emma
Bruce
Park,
what
the
work
that
goes
on
there
to
really
learn
how
to
develop
good
Garden
practices
within
Central
San
Jose
for
our
future.
Good
luck!
J
How
we
can
do
that
and
and
try
to
address
the
10-year
waiting
list
and
how
that
can
be
a
shorter
process
and
just
the
sharing
and
cooperation
of
food
in
our
future.
From
these
areas,
you
can
set
a
really
good
course
and
good
luck.
How
you
can
do
such
things
thanks.
K
Yes,
good
afternoon
Council,
my
name
is
Paul
Soto
from
the
horseshoe.
Thank
you
for
the
report.
Although
it's
preaching
to
the
choir,
those
that
are
on
this
dice
are
very
familiar
with
Community
Gardens.
We
call
them
saucy
puedes.
K
So
it's
nice
that
the
city
has
come
around
and
you
know
used
this
very
euphemistic
language
and
Flowery
and
feel
good
language.
To
talk
about
this
topic,
however,
I
would
challenge
my
city
to
put
the
1939
Redline
map
put
that
on
top
of
these
designated
areas
that
you
outlined,
okay
and
stop
calling
these
underserved
low-income
people
low
high
risk
of
early
death
people,
we
are
Chicanos,
we
are
Mexicans.
K
L
Hi
good
afternoon,
my
name
is
Casey
Hill
I'm,
the
executive
doctor
at
veggie
Lucian,
a
long
time
partner
of
City
through
the
parks,
recreation,
Neighborhood,
Services
I
also
wanted
to
opt
for
my
thanks
for
the
report
and
to
say
ditto
to
what
Paul
just
mentioned
about,
not
forgetting
to
always
align
these
conversations
with
the
reality
of
the
impact
of
redlining
and
neighborhoods,
like
you,
San
Jose
and
I
just
wanted
to
hold
up
that
the
Community
Gardens
that
are
all
across
the
city,
in
particular
those
that
we
work
closely
within
East
San
Jose,
are
not
only
great
sites
for
thinking
about
food
access
for
growing,
fresh
and
healthy
produce
for
families,
but
also
for
engagement
with
families
and
directly
and
Outreach
they're,
also
places
where
we
build
trust
where
we're
able
to
celebrate
these
are
really
incredible
sites
that
should
be
always
as
accessible
and
affordable
as
possible.
L
I
wanted
to
offer
the
like
so
many
of
our
other
non-profits
in
the
city
are
eager
and
open
to
exploring
Partnerships
with
the
city
to
help
achieve
all
of
those
things
and
then,
last
but
not
least,
I
think
we
want
to
also
explore
Community
Gardens.
As
a
space
to
grow
economic
mobility
within
our
communities,
I'll
just
name
that
our
full-time
Farm
manager,
Luis
Hernandez,
has
been
with
us
three
years
and
we
met
him
through
our
neighbors,
who
were
who
had
plots
at
the
community
garden
right
there
at
Emma,
prus,
Farm
Park.
L
M
Hi
yeah
I'll,
be
brief.
I
want
to
thank
Steph
for
the
report
that
was
just
presented.
It's
nice
to
see
the
work,
that's
being
done
for
our
residents.
I
do
have
a
question.
I
thought.
I
heard
staff
mentioned
that
that
the
average
cost
of
one
of
the
little
plots
is
83
dollars
a
month.
So
I
just
wanted
to
get
some
clarification
around.
That
and
I
also
wanted
to
give
some
clarification
in
terms
of
what
are
the
policies
around
eviction
of
of
these
plots.
M
We
had
an
incident
I'm
sure
Manny
can
recall
it
at
Emma.
Push
Park
I
want
to
understand
when
we
look
at
these
plots,
especially
since
we
know
that
these
are
in
those
those
neighborhoods
where,
where
families
are
struggling
with
a
lot
of
other
issues
and
the
index
indicates
it
staff
just
mentioned
that
these
were
great
opportunities
for
people
who
were
you
know
stuck
during
covid
and
I
just
want
to
understand
what
are
the
eviction
policies
around
this.
F
Thank
you,
councilmember
for
the
questions,
I'll
take
a
first
shot
and
then
look
to
the
team
to
supplement
to
to
the
first
question
about
cost.
I
want
to
clarify
that
the
43
cents
per
square
foot
and
86
dollars
I
think
on
average
is
a
yearly
amount,
not
not
a
monthly
amount.
F
To
to
your
second
question
about
eviction
policy,
what
we
do
on
an
annual
basis
is
go
through
our
annual
registration
process
and
gardeners
who
are
who
remain
in
good
standing
are
eligible
to
register
for
the
next
year.
During
the
pandemic,
and
in
light
of
historic
and
unprecedented
circumstances,
we
did
take
steps
to
to
go
further
to
help
meet
people
where
they
were,
but
globally
we
look
at
every
year
as
a
new
registration
process.
F
I
look
to
my
team.
If
they
want
to
supplement
that.
G
And
I'll
just
add,
as
as
far
as
the
eviction
process,
it's
Case
by
case,
but
each
year,
when
the
gardeners
you
know
either
you
know
get
their
plot
for
the
first
time
or
they
renew
their
plot.
We
do
have
a
list
of
rules
and
regulations
which
are
updated
on
a
regular
basis
and
they
receive
those
on
multiple
occasions
and
they're
in
multiple
languages
and
staff
or
volunteers
will
explain
to
them.
If
they
need
any.
G
You
know
if
they
have
any
questions
and
then
the
garden
participant
agrees
to
those
rules,
and
so
if
a
participant
is
not
following
those
rules,
there's
a
process
they'll
receive
a
warning
depending
on
how
egregious
it
is.
But
they'll
receive
a
warning,
and
you
know
if
it
continues.
M
But
thank
you
for
that.
I
I,
guess
I!
Didn't
I
I
didn't
hear,
though,
for
those
who
are
unable
to
make
the
payment
or
make
it
in
the
allocated
time.
I
I
have
a
concern,
because
I
know
that
a
lot
of
these
folks
who
are
maintaining
those
Gardens
are
elderly,
they're,
still
using
check
or
cash
they're
still
driving
their
way
over
and
I
want
to
make
sure
that
they're
giving
every
affordable
opportunity
to
get
that
payment
to
you
before
they
get
evicted.
M
The
reason
why
I
bring
it
up
is
because
it
happened
at
Mo
push
during
the
pandemic,
which
was
one
of
the
the
most
difficult
times
for
our
folks,
but
also
because,
if
you
change
their
plot
from
say,
Emma
push
to
Mayfair
or
to
any
other
Garden.
We
know
that
these
folks
have
been
over
the
years.
Investing
in
that
little
plot,
adding
you
know
different
kinds
of
investments
into
them
that
that
is
going
to
cost
them
hardship
if
you
change
them
from
one
plot
to
the
other.
M
So
I
like
to
see
what
your
policies
are.
I
I
haven't
heard
that
there's
still
a
policy
regarding
non-payment
or
how
we
make
allocations
for
folks
like
that.
G
If
you
could
just
allow
us
and,
as
you
know,
informs
us
that
they're
not
able
to
you
know
we
try
and
work
with
them
on
finding
ways
to
allow
them
to
continue
in
the
garden.
In
some
cases,
gardeners
you
know
and
it
clearly
states.
If
the
plot
is
not
paid
for
by
a
certain
date.
You
know
they
will
lose
their
plot
and
they
sign
that
form,
and
we
do
that
because
you
know
in
some
cases
we
have
waiting
lists
and
we
want
to
be
Equitable
to
the
people
on
the
waiting
list.
G
You
know,
but
if
somebody
comes
to
us
in
that
two
and
a
half
months
from
when
they
receive
their
notice
to
when
their
payment
is
due,
we
can
try
and
work
with
it.
Usually,
if
you
know
somebody
is
removed
from
the
garden
it's
because
we
haven't
heard
from
them
and
we
have
not
received
their
payment,
and
so
we
just
issue
the
plot
to
somebody
else.
F
And
I
will
just
add
in
council
member
completely
understand
and
and
agree
with
the
concern
that
you're
raising
and
that's
really
a
lot
of
the
impetus
why
we
brought
this
first
ever
community
garden
report
is
our
understanding
that
there
are
communities
and
members
in
our
community,
including
existing
gardeners,
who
struggle
to
meet
the
cost
of
the
program.
And
that's
that's
what
we're
trying
to
hide
daylight
and
and
bring
some
sunshine
to
through
this
process,
and
that
we
can
develop
over
the
next
year
a
scholarship
program
around
this
and
also
seek
funding
to
make
that
sustainable.
M
Thank
you.
That's
it
for
me,
chair,
except
that
I'm
just
going
to
add
one.
Last
final
note:
it's
sometimes
83
dollars.
You
know
when
we
we
phrase
it
that
way
it.
It
sounds
like
we're
emphasizing
how
low
of
a
cost
it
is
and
for
all
of
us
who
work
for
the
city
or
electricity.
M
It
is
a
low
cost
for
individuals
who
are
on
a
fixed
income
such
as
our
seniors,
and
this
is
some
of
the
feedback
I've
gotten
from
our
seniors,
Believe,
It
or
Not
83
dollars,
even
though
it's
on
on
a
yearly
basis
is
is,
is
a
stretch
for
them
and
the
fact
that
this
gives
them
socializing
opportunities
opportunities
for
Fresh
Foods,
an
opportunity
to
get
out
of
their
house
for
individuals
who
are
an
extremely
low
income,
and
not
just
low
income.
M
I
want
to
emphasize
this:
it's
not
just
low
income,
they're
isolated.
They
don't
have
resources,
they're,
not
vacationing,
Cancun
they're,
not
taking
long
drives
down
Monterey
Road.
These
are
they
just
for.
For
the
most
part,
this
is
their
Recreation
and
their
opportunities
to
get
out
of
the
house
and
do
something,
and
so
I
would
hope
that
I
won't
be
here
after
December.
But
I
would
hope.
M
Never
to
hear
another
senior
tell
me
that
they
got
evicted
and
that
those
opportunities
were
were
taken
from
them
because
they
didn't
make
the
payment
on
time,
and
especially
for
those
who
have
been
there
for
a
long
time
for
years.
In
fact
that
we're
giving
them
every
ample
opportunity
to
to
pay
or
even
have
staff
or
the
District
staff
go
and
pick
up
that
payment.
They
wanted
to
keep
their
car.
So
that's
it
for
me
sure.
N
You
thank
you
so
before
I
get
to
my
questions,
I
wanted
to
thank
the
team
for
their
work
on
the
Vietnamese
Heritage
Garden,
the
community
garden
in
there,
and
you
know
Finding
ways
to
expand
it
as
well
as
update
and
just
saying
the
community
excited
about
having
more
plots
underscores
the
the
desire
in
the
community
to
have
more
of
this
and
and
what
council,
member
Carrasco
just
said
in
terms
of
this
being
the
the
main
Recreation
for
low-income
seniors
on
a
fixed
income.
N
I
wanted
to
follow
up
on
her
questions,
who
very
good
questions
in
terms
of
eviction.
N
What
are
the
numbers?
How
many
have
we
evicted.
I
Having
alcohol
in
the
garden
vandalism
things
like
that
when
it
comes
to
seniors
or
people
who
can't
pay
for
their
plots,
because
they
need
a
bit
more
time,
we
are
definitely
very
flexible
and
we
we
work
with
them
all
the
time.
I
couldn't
say
that
since
I've
been
here
since
2005.
N
Okay,
that's
really
really
great
to
hear
and
in
terms
of
payment.
You
just
mentioned
that
we're
flexible,
because
we
know
what
this
means
for
folks
we
charge
an
annual
cost.
Have
we
done
an
analysis
on
what
it
would
mean
if
we
took
payments
more
often
so
it
wouldn't
be?
You
know
we
wouldn't
ask
for
an
annual
fee.
We
could
break
it
down
to
folks
to
a
monthly
fee.
G
Foreign
and
answer
that
we
have
not
done
that,
and
the
reason
is
because
currently
the
program
is
funded
for
1.5
staff
and
in
order
to
take
over
a
thousand
payments
every
single
month,
many
which
are
in
cash
is,
would
be
a
big
strain
on
the
staff.
I
mean
we
can
look
into
it,
but
it
it
would
take
a
lot
of
work
for
the
staff
to
process
that.
N
Yeah
I
understand
that,
which
is
why
I
asked
if
an
analysis
had
been
done
on
that
and
in
the
past,
I've
worked
in
programs
where
the
annual
fee
seemed
like
a
lot
of
money,
and
so
we
broke
it
down
to
actually
every
six
months,
because
I
understand
the
monthly
fee
was
on
the
other
side
of
the
spectrum,
where
there
are
costs
that
we
incur
in
managing
those
payments.
N
But
if
we
reviewed
payments
that
were
more
often
whether
that's
every
six
months
instead
of
annually,
you
know
that
might
since
you're
already
being
flexible
with
some
of
those
who
who
need
it.
If
you
could
include
that
in
the
the
report
that
comes
back
the
next
one,
I
think
that
would
be
an
opportunity
to
see
what
the
impacts
could
be
on
helping
folks
kind
of
keep
that
payment
going.
G
Yeah,
you
know
now
that
you
say
that
it
makes
me
think
of
the
payment
plan
model
that
we
have
for
camps
and
for
some
of
our
other
programs
in
Recreation,
and
maybe
that's
something
that
we
could
investigate,
that
people
could
choose
as
an
option
for
community
garden.
So
we'll
definitely
look
into
that.
G
N
I
didn't
see
a
dollar
amount
in
the
report
did
I
miss
it
on
it
says
the
funding
for
the
program
is
166
000,
but
I
didn't
see
sort
of
an
analysis.
If
you
could
include
that
on
the
scholarship
I
know
that
we
did
pilot
or
what
we
did
was
offer.
I
know
this
is
a
different
department,
but
we
offered
scholarships
for
our
swim,
centers
right
and
after
we
dug
into
it.
N
It
really
wasn't
that
much
money
and
it
removed
the
need
to
have
such
an
intensive
Administration
of
scholarships.
If
we
gave
some
free
or
you
know,
we
did
that
analysis
we're
summer,
free
and
I
think
that
would
be
important
to
moving
forward
because
there
might
be
other
ways
to
offer
subsidies
to
this.
F
Council
member,
on
an
annual
basis,
the
the
number
fluctuates
a
little
bit
here
and
there
as
it's
based
on
on
water
usage
and
how
much
watering
is
needed
and
obviously
that's
tied
into
the
weather.
But
typically
the
total
program
cost
is
about
200
000
that
is
charged
to
the
Thousand
gardeners.
F
We
are
very,
very
interested,
as
Tori
mentioned,
in
building
out
a
scholarship
model.
I
think
the
model
that
you
that
you
raise
for
Aquatics
is
a
great
one
to
look
at.
Our
goal
here
would
be
to
to
meet
as
much
need
all
the
need,
as
we
can
and
in
in
the
Resident
surveys.
F
N
Yeah,
thank
you,
I
think
that's
money
well
spent,
and
you
know
many
of
the
folks
as
councilmember
Carrasco
mentioned.
This
is
their.
This
is
their
Recreation
as
well
as
sustenance,
and
you
know
one
of
the
things
that
I've
heard
from
folks
is.
N
You
know
this
is
a
way
for
them
to
grow
the
food
that
they
eat
in
their
culture
and
that
might
be
difficult
to
go
and
buy
or
expensive,
much
more
expensive
to
go
and
buy,
and
so
I
think
that
this
is
a
fabulous
program
and
providing
scholarships
to
nurture.
That
I
think
is
a
good
investment
in
our
neighborhoods
and
our
residents.
That's
it
for
me.
Thank
you.
E
Yeah
just
quickly
I
just
wanted
to
thank
the
team
for
the
work
on
on
the
gardens
and
and
just
celebrating
this
committee
that
we
got
the
newest
Garden
just
opened
last
Saturday
in
Alviso,
and
we
had
a
great
turnout
for
the
opening
and
I
think
there
might
even
be
some
plots
still
available,
but
there's
definitely
demand.
I
know
this.
We
saw
from
how
many
people
are
signing
up
for
plots
quickly
how
how
much
the
community
loves
this
program.
E
B
B
D
N
D
G
G
So,
depending
on
the
number
of
plots
you
know
we're
currently
in
the
process
of
looking
at,
you
know
unused
Recreation
Turf
in
some
of
our
Park
areas.
You
know
that's
just
kind
of
sitting
nobody's
really
using
it
for
anything.
G
But
that's
you
know
another
ass
to
the
aspect
of
the
program
we
want
to
look
at.
Is
you
know?
Where
else
is
there
a
need
for
this
and
then
try
and
raise
funding
for
that
as
well?.
D
I
D
All
right,
yeah,
yeah
and
I
guess
it's
just
going
to
differ
just
depending
on
where
it
is
and
who
owns
it
and
do
you
need
to
purchase
the
land
and
okay.
D
The
the
other
question
I
had
was
is
is
because
I
so
I
have
one
community
garden
well,
two
in
my
district
one
we
inherited
from
from
District
10,
but
that's
at
the
county
park,
Marshall,
Colorado
Park,
but
but
say
for
example,
if
I
were
to
have
residents
that
were
using
either
of
those
Community
Gardens
and
they
had
issues
with
with
making
the
payments
or
fulfilling
their
obligation.
Monetary
obligation,
as
it
relates
to
the
usage
of
the
of
the
pots,
would
anything
preclude
me
as
a
council
member
from
funding
that
or
offering
scholarships?
D
Okay,
all
right,
okay,
thank
you.
Thank
you
and
I.
Ask
because
we
have
some
in
my
district
and
I
I've
always
been
curious
about
that.
The
other.
The
other
thing
I
was
going
to
ask,
is
obviously
the
the
the
gardens
are
in
many
parts
of
the
city,
but
I've
always
wondered
and
I
apologize.
If
it's
in
the
report,
I,
don't
think
anyone
asked
about
this,
but
is
there?
Is
there
a
preference
in
the
leasing
of
the
plots
to
apartment
dwellers
that
don't
have
any?
D
Yeah
so
I
I,
for
whatever
is
worth
I,
think
it's
worth
exploring,
I'm,
not
sure
if
it's
ever
been
brought
up,
but
the
other
thing.
What
I
was
that
I
was
curious
about.
Is
there
to
be
honest
with
you,
I've
been
I've,
been
in
many
Community
Gardens,
but
I've
never
like
had
to
access
them,
someone's,
always
taking
me
and
I've
gotten
to
see
sort
of
the
way
it
works.
D
The
sense
again
correct
me
if
I'm
wrong,
but
the
sense
I
get,
is
that
someone
in
the
community
is
sort
of
granted
a
key
or
are
there
many
keys
like
if
you
have
to
30
people
that
have
a
plot
at
a
particular
Garden?
Do
each
of
them
have
a
key
to
the
gate,
or
is
there
one
sort
of
person
that
is
the
the
gatekeeper
literally
yeah.
I
D
D
All
right
all
right
and
the
other
question
I
had
was:
are
there
is
and
again
I
read
the
report,
but
it
is
a
while
ago.
I
don't
know
if
I
missed
it,
but
is
there
any
work
going
on
in
like
I'm,
not
sure
how
often
all
the
gardens
get
visited,
for
example,
and
if
there's
a
work,
any
work
being
done
to
figure
out
if
they're
being
kept
up
as
they
should?
If
there's
any
issues
with
Gardens
sort
of
capital
costs
associated
with
a
new
fence,
you
know
things
of
that
nature.
I
So
this
is
why
it's
so
important
that
we
have
volunteers
who
who
volunteer
to
be
part
of
what
we
call
the
volunteer
Garden
management
team.
There
are,
there
are
my
eyes
and
ears
out
there.
We
have
a
problem
with
a
water
leak
or
a
cut
fence.
They
notify
me
right
away
and
I
send
out
a
work
order
to
the
maintenance
department
to
get
those
things
fixed.
D
And
is:
is
it?
How
often
are
those
folks
rotate?
The
reason
I'm
asking
is
I'm
wondering
if
say,
for
example,
that
volunteer
dedicated
to
a
particular
Garden
if
they're,
maybe
not
visiting
as
frequently
or
not
being
as
good
as
eyes
and
ears
for
you
right
I
mean:
do
we
I'm
not
sure
how
you
would
assess
whether
they're
actually
doing
a
good
job
and
letting
you
know
if
there's
something
wrong
there,
but
how
do
we
go
about
evaluating
that?
Whether
I.
I
Also
make
my
site
inspections
once
or
twice
a
year.
I'll
make
my
rounds
to
the
gardens,
but
typically
we
have
a
really
good
group
of
volunteer
managers
out
there
really
good.
You
know
when
there
are
it's
a
two-year
term.
So,
every
couple
years
the
community
gardeners
are
supposed
to
have
elections
to
nominate
their
their
representatives,
so
to
speak.
Okay.
D
And
maybe
that's
the
person
that
I
think
that
I
assume
had
the
special
key
or
something
to
these
particular
Gardens,
maybe
she's
the
manager
that
I'm
thinking
about.
But
okay,
is
there
just
offline,
but
it
can.
Can
someone
give
provide
my
office,
the
information
as
it
relates
to
the
gardens
in
District
2,
to
figure
out
who
those
volunteers
are
so
that
way
we
can
be
in
better
touch
with
them.
So
we
can
gain
a
sense
as
to
what's
going
on
in
those
particular
Gardens.
D
B
Fall
down
all
right,
so
let's
go
to
the
vote.
H
Chair
and
committee
members,
my
name
is
Dave
DeLong
I'm,
the
division
manager
for
parks,
recreation,
Neighborhood,
Services,
administrative
services,
division,
I'm
joined
today
by
Petra
Aguero
who's,
our
program
manager
over
at
strategic
Partnerships
unit
that
oversees
the
best
grant
program
and
today
she's
going
to
be
delivering
a
presentation
on
how
we're
moving
forward
with
the
best
triennial
RFQ
and
with
that
I'm
going
to
hand
it
over
to
Petra.
P
P
So
today,
I'll
be
providing
an
update
on
the
best
grant
program
request
for
qualification
process.
So
as
we're
pulling
up
that
presentation,
as
you
know,
the
the
best
grant
program
is
the
funding
arm
to
the
mayor's
gang
prevention
task
force,
which
is
newly
named
the
San
Jose
Youth,
Empowerment,
Alliance
I,
know
Andrea
Flora
Shelton
is
going
to
be
sharing
more
on
that
name
change
along
with
the
Strategic
work
plan
a
little
later.
Today.
P
There
we
go
so
every
every
three
years
we
conduct
an
RFQ
process
for
best
to
establish
a
qualified
list
of
agencies
and
through
that
list,
agencies
are
selected
and
funded
to
serve
San,
Jose,
Youth
and
families
through
a
variety
of
programs,
on-school
campuses
and
throughout
the
community.
We
were
scheduled
to
release
the
RFQ
in
January
of
2022
and
last
November.
P
We
were
here
at
the
committee
and
we
provided
an
update,
along
with
plans
to
defer
the
RFQ
for
a
release
in
January
of
2023,
and
we
defer
the
release
because
we
were
managing
a
few
moving
pieces
that
would
inform
the
process.
The
first
one
was
the
Strategic
work
plan,
which
is
now
complete,
and
we
were
also
working
on
addressing
audit
recommendations
for
the
best
grant
program,
and
we
also
were
addressing
questions
and
concerns
raised
from
this
committee.
P
Here
we
go
so
as
we
have
planned
to
assess
and
address
these
items
that
I
just
mentioned
that
would
potentially
be
changing
like
measuring
agency
performance
and
assessing
participant
risk
factors.
We
felt
it
was
important
to
first
engage
our
partners
and
get
their
perspective
and
input,
because
we
knew
implementing
new
processes
and
tools
was
going
to
impact
them
and
how
they
track
and
Report
the
work
that
they
do.
P
So
we
formed
the
partner
engagement
group
in
2122,
and
we
worked
with
11
of
the
15
best
funded
agencies,
and
we
were
able
to
conduct
four
focus
groups
around
how
we
can
improve
our
monitoring
tools
and
our
performance
measurement
strategy
and
how
we
can
better
assess
participants
risk
level.
We
also
receive
General
input
on
their
experience
with
RFQ
processes
in
the
past.
P
So
our
work
and
the
work
of
our
partners
within
the
San
Jose
Youth
Empowerment
Alliance,
is
driven
by
the
Strategic
work
plan.
The
work
plan
outlines
our
strategies
and
their
objectives
and
key
results
to
reduce
sorry
I
think
I
meant
I
went
too
far
here,
just
back
up
a
little
bit.
P
There
we
go,
and
so
the
Strategic
work
plan
outlines
the
strategies
and
their
objectives
and
key
results
to
reduce
youth
violence
and
I
wanted
to
highlight
the
area
in
the
work
plan
that
addresses
best
specifically
in
the
2023-26
Strategic
work
plan,
which
includes
approaches
over
the
next
three
years,
around
prevention,
intervention,
diversion
and
re-entry
and
healing
one
of
the
objection.
One
of
the
objectives
in
the
work
plan
under
intervention
was
to
deliver
expanded,
youth
driven
and
whole
family
place-based
strategies.
P
P
We
also
look.
We
we're
also
going
to
look
at.
How
can
we
better
understand,
barriers
and
support
systems
and
whole
family
needs
in
a
culturally
responsive
way,
so
we
can
Empower
families
to
work
together
and
support
each
other,
and
so
we're
currently
working
to
incorporate
this
objective
into
the
best
RFQ
scope.
P
So
the
play
Space
strategy
for
best
is
the
identification
of
opportunity,
neighborhoods
and
opportunity.
Neighborhoods
was
previously
known
as
hot
spot
areas,
and
so
just
just
as
we've
done
with
the
task
force,
we
acknowledge
that
name
in
a
neighborhood
as
a
hot
spot
label,
these
areas
as
having
deficits
and
we
needed
to
shift
to
a
more
growth
mindset.
P
P
So
for
the
qualitative
data
we
conducted
an
input
session
with
the
Youth
Empowerment
Alliance
technical
team,
and
we
facilitated
this
by
division
where
each
member
in
the
division
had
the
opportunity
to
share
climate
experiences
observations
in
the
different
neighborhoods
they
served,
and
this
input
from
this
input
was
from
Youth
Intervention
staff
from
best
funded
Partners
schools,
probation
faith-based
Partners,
Community,
Center
staff
and
and
our
other
multiple
partners
within
the
technical
team
and-
and
this
was
climate
that
they
were
seeing
and
experiencing
in
real
time
in
the
community.
P
P
P
So
with
that
assessment,
we
developed
this
framework
that
you
see
here
on
the
slide
that
we'll
begin
to
use
in
the
23
24
program
cycle.
We
developed
specific
questions
that
will
guide
the
method
that
will
help
us
answer
those
questions.
So
that's
you'll
see
that
and
call
them
the
the
second
column
guiding
questions
to
really
better
understand.
What
are
we
trying
to
achieve
with
best
services
which
is
ultimately
reducing
youth
violence?
So
what
do
we
want
to
know
about
Services?
P
P
So
these
are
other
projects
that
will
enhance
the
work
around
program,
performance
and
agency
accountability.
We've
developed
a
screener
tool
that
will
help
agencies,
assess
the
risk
factors
that
their
participants
are
experiencing
and
the
risk
factors
that
were
seen
reduced
through
their
participation
in
the
program.
We
also
added
two
new
positions
this
year
to
our
grants
management
team,
we
hired
a
senior
analyst.
We
are
also
looking
to
hire
an
analyst.
P
So
it's
been
a
it's
been
a
little
challenging
with
the
recruitment,
but
these
positions
will
help
with
the
grantee
oversight
and
accountability
and
school
coordination,
and
so
we've
hired
the
senior
analyst
and
she
started
in
August
and
we
are
very
close
to
hiring
an
analyst
to
fill
those
positions.
So
we're
excited
about
that.
P
We
are
working
with
finance
department
on
a
bid
for
a
case
management
system
that
will
allow
us
and
our
partners
to
better
track
and
report
on
Direct
service
to
participants,
so
that
procurement
package
was
reviewed
by
the
procurement
prioritization
board
back
in
October
and
we're
scheduled
for
a
release
in
February
of
2023.
P
J
Hello:
okay,
it's
working
can
I,
have
the
timer
start
over
again
awesome.
Thank
you
play
Beekman
here.
Thanks
for
this
item.
They
had
their
last
mayor's
gang
prevention
task
force
of
the
year
a
few
weeks
ago,
and
you
know
they
first
brought
out
they're
gonna.
They
want
to
change
the
name
of
the
program
and
I,
and
it's
I
think
it's
a
pretty
good
name.
There
was
youth.
J
Who
was
there
who
were
pretty
upset
with
the
with
the
name
and
that
Youth
Empowerment
is
not
really
going
to
be
empowering
youth
in
our
future
or
the
ca
program.
The
a
Alliance-
and
it
was
very
nicely
spoken
by
the
mayor
and
others
that
it
is
an
aspirational
name
and
that
you
know
we
with
time
we
can
work
towards.
You
know
the
Youth
Empowerment
idea,
and
that
is
the
goal.
The
goal
is
to
consider
use
skills
before
police
and
law
enforcement,
and
you
guys
want
to
work
towards
that.
J
Community
wants
to
work
towards
that.
Good
luck
in
your
efforts,
in
that
this
seems
the
time
to
mention
that
during
the
past
month,
city
manager,
boy,
why
can't
I?
J
Are
you
sitting
right
in
front
of
me
and
I
can't
angel
rijos,
I'm,
sorry,
city
manager,
Rios
very
nicely
brought
out
they're
coming
up
with
ideas
of
how
to
develop
language
skills,
language
set
of
skills,
her
work
jobs
in
the
future
and
have
that
access
to
to
language
issues
is
important
and
I
think
that
that
has
to
be
a
cautious
way
to
address
that,
and
it's
part
of
this
practices
that
I
hope
we
consider
more
than
just
law
enforcement.
Thank
you.
Q
Good
afternoon,
chair
Ernest,
council
members
and
staff,
my
name
is
Matthew
Tinsley
and
I'm.
The
director
of
the
strong
start
initiative
at
the
Santa
Clara
County
Office
of
Education,
on
behalf
of
the
county
superintendent
of
schools,
Dr
Marianne
Dewan.
We
would
like
to
thank
the
city
for
the
opportunity
to
participate
in
the
bringing
everyone's
strengths
together,
grant
program,
oversight
and
accountability
effort.
We
have
been
active
Partners
in
the
RFQ
redesign
process
and
then
the
development
of
the
new
performance
measurement
framework.
Q
We
would
like
to
take
this
opportunity
to
reiterate
our
support
for
a
process
that
provides
funding
at
the
school
district
rather
than
the
individual
School
level.
This
would
allow
for
greater
flexibility
and
Effectiveness
in
the
deployment
of
resources,
ensuring
the
greatest
positive
programmatic
impact
within
specific
schools
and
opportunity
neighborhoods.
Q
B
Wonderful,
thank
you.
I,
don't
see
any
hands
raised,
but
I.
Also,
oh
there
we
go
council,
member,
Esparza.
N
Thank
you,
I
was
just
having
some
technical
issues,
so
thank
you
for
the
report
and
I
will
I
I'll
get
to
the
point
on
the
the
name,
change
and
opening
it
up
to
all
youth
violence.
N
I
have
heard
as
I'm
sure
my
colleagues
have
from
Community
Advocates,
particularly
Advocates,
that
have
a
background
in
work
with
gangs
that
they
are
concerned
that
this
best
programming
is
and
funding
is
being
diverted
from
that
I,
like
many
of
you,
I,
have
been
around
a
long
time
and
best
has
always
covered
a
lot
of
different
areas,
but
its
aim
was
to
reduce,
was
to
prevent
and
intervene
on
gang
violence.
So
can
you
address
those
concerns.
R
R
First,
we
just
want
to
share
that
that
the
focus
or
the
broadening
of
the
focus
on
from
gang
violence
to
youth
violence
does
not
at
all
take
away
from
our
commitment
to
continuing
our
funding,
our
operations
and
our
services
related
to
preventing
and
intervening
in
gang
violence
and
our
commitment
to
our
youth
related
again
to
our
operations,
as
specifically
when
it
comes
to
best
the
street
Outreach
Services.
R
Frankly,
we
are
looking
to
see
how
we
can
you
know
strengthen
that
area
of
best,
as
we
look
at
our
eligible
services
and
funding
opportunities.
So
we
understand
that
this
kind
of
shift
after
many
decades
you
know
change
is
hard
and
change
can
can
lead
to
some
questions
and
uncertainty,
and
so
we
want
to
assure
the
council,
as
well
as
our
Community
Partners,
that
our
commitment
to
gain
intervention
services
and
funding
does
not
diminish
and
we're
not
looking
to
reduce
it.
N
You,
that's
that's
really
important
and
I
think
a
lot
of
the
work
that
we've
done
in
the
past
couple
years
on
Equity,
and
there
were
some
comments
earlier
about
showing
a
map
of
Red
Lines
areas
of
San.
N
We
all
know
we
all
know
the
neighborhoods
that
need
extra
love
right.
We
we
do,
and
we
know
that
that's
by
Design-
and
you
know
the
fact
is
that
there
are
a
lot
of
factors
that
go
into
violence:
poverty,
not
the
least
of
which
is
poverty.
But
there
are
a
lot
of
other
factors
and
if
we
really
mean
to
help
and
and
uplift
kids
and
families
and
neighborhoods
they're
going
to
need
a
lot
more
resources
and
a
variety
of
resources,
and
so
so
I.
N
You
know
as
long
as
we
don't
cut-
and
we
add
you
know
to
the
gang
prevention
and
intervention
resources
that
are
unfortunately
needed,
but
they
are
truly
life-saving
and
life-changing
work
and
so
I'm
I'm
happy
to
to
move
to
accept
this
report
and
and
and
before
I
go
away.
I,
just
I
really
want
to.
Thank
you.
N
Petra
I'd
like
to
thank
the
whole
team
shout
out
to
Petra,
who
has
done
a
tremendous
amount
of
work
on
this
Andrea
Flores
Shelton,
who
came
in
to
lead
a
lot
of
this
work
in
Angel
Rios,
of
course,
always
for
your
leadership
and
history
and
I'm
sure
I'm,
forgetting
a
bunch
of
people,
but
I
just
wanted
to
acknowledge
that,
because
this
taking
this
extra
time
has
is
really
trying
to
lead
us
to
do
more
of
what
we
really
need
to
be
doing
to
provide
that
that
accountability
and
that
support.
N
B
Thank
you,
I'm,
going
to
add
to
to
that.
It's
been
a
bit
of
a
process
getting
through
this
and
come
to
this
point
where
we
have
these
these
objectives
and
key
results
from
a
work
plan.
So
congratulations.
B
Everyone,
I
I'm,
also
concerned
that
we
don't
diminish
the
attention
for
the
gang
involved,
youth,
as
that
has
always
been
the
focus
of
of
our
our
intervention,
services
and
they're,
and
it's
very
unique
type
of
of
support
that
that
the
city
has
been
providing
for
many
many
years
and
so
I
think
it's
it's
a
skill
set
in
terms
of
of
being
able
to
interact
with
our
youth
in
a
way
that
honors
them
and
also
supports
them,
and
so
I
look
forward
to
seeing
what
this
2.0
version
will
be.
B
We
have
a
motion
and
a
second.
If
we
can
pick
a
vote,
please.
S
Chair
then,
that's
Angel
reels,
WC
manager
and
members
of
the
committee.
We
are
going
to
ask.
We
are
going
to
recommend
deferral
of
this
next
item
to
the
December
NSC
agenda.
S
We
did
have
an
internal
glitch
here
in
that
we
inadvertently
did
not
attach
the
Strategic
plan
document
to
the
memo.
So
if
acceptable
we'd
like
to
to
recommend
deferral
to
next
month-
and
it
would
require
a
vote
if
you
accept.
B
Wonderful,
thank
you.
Can
I
get
a
deferral
to
defer.
E
D
N
B
Thank
you
wonderful.
So
this
takes
us
to
item
D4,
and
this
is
City
initiatives.
Road
map,
the
education
is.
C
B
J
All
right
guys
thanks
a
lot
Blair
Beekman
here
thanks
a
lot
for
acknowledging
public
comment
for
a
deferral
item.
I
think
it's
the
first
time
at
this
committee
meeting,
so
it
deserves
public
comment.
Thank
you.
J
I
wanted
to
offer
that
first,
the
thank
you
for
the
the
words
and
the
questions
of
council
person
Esparza,
who
I
really
helped
clarify
the
issue
a
lot
and
how
to
treat
best
practices
as
compared
to
What
item
three
will
be
working
towards
and
I
wanted
to
note.
At
the
last
meeting
of
the
gang
prevention
task
force,
it
was
probably
the
last
meeting
for
many.
J
It
seemed
to
have
more
of
a
focus
on
law
enforcement
issues
when
you
know
learning
how
to
speak
to
our
Our
Youth
and
our
community
better
practices
is,
it
should
be
pretty
regular.
I
mean
it
is
fairly
regular
in
in
gang
prevention
task
force
meetings,
but
it
wasn't
up
this
last
meeting
and
I.
They
ended
it
on
a
law
enforcement
note,
instead
of
ending
it
on
a
community
note-
and
that
was
a
bit
disappointing
to
myself
like
I
was
trying
to
say
earlier.
J
J
Language
issues
is
an
important
step
in
that
I
think
this
is
an
issue
we've
been
addressing,
for
you
know
20
30
years
now
that,
as
we
are
considering
these
practices,
we
will
also
have
to
be
respectful
and
sensitive
to
you,
know,
native
language
and
and
and
the
importance
of
of
native
languages
and
learning
as
a
community
process
that
we
don't
necessarily
have
to
be
in
an
english-only
world.
J
To
me,
that's
an
important
concept
to
to
develop
and
considering
in
in
a
very
delicate
subject
to
to
develop
you're
thinking
about
at
this
time.
Good
luck
in
community
efforts.
Thank
you.
B
Wonderful,
thank
you.
Do
we
have
to
go
back
to
reconsider.
B
B
T
Just
a
little
bit
of
background.
The
edl
strategy
was
approved
by
Council
on
May
7
2018
and
is
organized
around
the
following
strategic
action:
areas
of
early
education,
learning
by
grade
level,
proficiency,
Pathways
to
post
academic
success,
digital
literacy
and
policy
and
governance.
The
implementation
of
the
strategy
is
grounded
in
our
commitment
to
equity
diversity
and
inclusion,
including
a
commitment
to
Quality
assessment
data
collection,
an
analysis
of
program

library
I
will
be
highlighting
work
in
the
areas
of
College
and
Career
Readiness,
digital
literacy
and
overall
edl
governance
and
policy
fiscal
year.
2122
highlights
from
the
area
of
College
and
Career
Readiness
include
the
hiring
of
a
new
career
Pathways
coordinator,
increased
teen
participation
and
volunteerism,
and
the
piloting
of
the
College
and
Career
Readiness
standards.
U
Looking
ahead
to
our
current
fiscal
year,
staff
are
focusing
on
building
awareness
around
College
and
Career
Readiness
Pathways
for
San
Jose
residents,
including
identifying
metrics
for
Success
building
an
existing
part
building
on
existing
Partnerships
and
expanding
the
use
of
College
and
Career
Readiness
standards
more
program.
Specific
goals
include:
awarding
40
scholarships
for
career
online
high
school
and
connecting
over
120
family
friend
and
neighborhood
caregivers
to
additional
resources
and
learning
opportunities.
More
details
on
the
area
of
College
and
Career
Readiness
will
be
presented
separately
later
today.
U
Turning
to
digital
literacy
in
Spring
of
2022,
the
library
administered,
the
digital
literacy
quality
standards
for
the
second
time,
the
digital
literacy
classes
scored
well
in
the
areas
of
technology
and
access,
privacy
and
security
and
Staffing.
Overall,
the
digital
literacy
classes
scored
an
average
of
2.07
out
of
a
possible
three.
These
programs
are
firmly
in
the
emerging
category,
leaving
space
for
these
programs
to
create
a
quality
improvement
plan
and
increase
scores
in
certain
areas.
U
The
area
of
curriculum
and
teaching
practices
was
identified
as
a
focus
with
an
emphasis
on
deepening
the
existing
curricula,
with
take-home
practice
exercises
for
participants
as
an
annual
rather
than
an
ongoing
program.
The
coding
summer
camp
program
is
currently
being
evaluated
and
quality
improvement
plans
being
created
to
be
implemented.
As
we
begin
planning
for
our
summer,
2023
programs
in
January
of
2023,
the
digital
literacy
class
cohort,
will
meet
again
to
check
in
on
their
progress
towards
the
Improvement
plans
and
in
May
2023.
U
A
final
assessment
will
be
made
for
the
fiscal
year
through
our
continuing
coding,
5K
program.
The
library
is
committed
to
providing
opportunities
for
coding
experiences
to
students
across
the
city
and
especially
those
in
underrepresented,
neighborhoods
and
students
identifying
as
girls
or
young
women.
U
U
U
Moving
on
to
policy
and
governance,
the
school
City
collaborative
was
hosted
in
late
October
to
review
past
and
upcoming
work
plan
priorities.
This
work
continues
to
increase
K-12
student
access
to
library
cards
and
promote
print
and
electronic
resources
that
support
student
learning,
The,
Joint
student
or
The
Joint
School
library
card
program
will
also
be
continued
in
the
current
fiscal
year.
Increasing
student
access
to
many
of
our
resources.
U
Foreign
for
our
work
on
Equity
diversity
and
inclusion,
the
quality
standards
were
approved
by
Council
in
February.
This
is
the
city's
first
framework
to
assess
our
educational
program's
efforts
to
Center
and
Advance
Equity.
This
fiscal
year
we
will
reconvene
the
ad
hoc
committee
to
complete
a
toolbox
of
core
Equity
diversity
and
inclusion
concepts
for
staff
capacity
building.
We
will
also
pilot
quality
assessments
of
Select
programs.
U
J
Hi
Blair
Beekman
thanks
a
lot
for
this
item,
I'm,
just
learning
more
and
more.
You
know
where
the
ideas
of
tech,
accountability
and
openness
and
in
these
sort
of
issues
and
Bridging
the
digital
divide,
can
fit
in
to
these
really
good
practices
and
and
in
bridging
these
digital
Supply.
J
That
was
a
lot
to
say
for
myself
in
Bridging
the
digital
divide,
yeah,
that's
what
can
how?
J
Where
does
Tech
accountability,
fit
into
that
process
and
I
hope
that,
and
with
the
data
collection
I
mean
this
is
some
of
like
the
very
best
work
it
looks
like
you
can
do
in
what
is
the
future
of
data
collection
and
I
hope
it's
these
sort
of
practices
that
you
know,
other
parts
of
Civic,
Innovation
and
and
staff
can
rely
on
I
mean
it
seems
like
you
know,
these
are
the
great
examples
and
hopefully
I'm
my
tech
accountability.
J
Practices
that
I
work
on
can
be
great
examples
for
kids
as
well
and
I
think
it's
an
important
part
of
how
they
will
learn
responsibility
in
the
future,
and
you
know
what
what
can
be
their
good
practices
for
a
community.
J
So
that's
what
this
item
seems
to
be
going
for
and
you're
doing
it
really
well.
It
seems
like
so
good
luck
in
these
efforts
and
good
luck
to
an
important
future
that
it's
not
just
Tech
and
it's
not
just
placing
a
bunch
of
tech
in
local
neighborhoods.
J
There's
a
there's,
a
whole
series
of
things-
and
this
is
one
of
them
and
I
hope
that
the
practices
of
having
good
practices
and
placing
Tech
in
the
future
of
local
neighborhoods
it
gets
just
as
much
respect
and
and
it
can
be
worked
out,
it
doesn't
have
to
be
mutually
exclusive
and
that's
that's
the
trick.
That's
the
trick
of
innovation.
That's
how
you
talk
about
Innovation
is
how
you
develop
good
rapport
with
the
community,
so
it
can
be
a
truck.
W
Hi
good
afternoon,
chair
Arenas,
council
members
and
staff,
my
name
is
Lisa
lorona
and
I'm,
an
assistant
director
of
early
care
and
education
initiatives
at
the
Santa
Clara
County
Office
of
Education.
On
behalf
of
the
county
superintendent
of
schools,
Dr
Marianne
Dewan.
We
would
like
to
express
our
gratitude
to
the
city
for
investing
resources,
access
and
quality
programs
for
students
and
Families.
The
city
of
San
Jose
has
historically
run
extended
day.
W
Programs
for
youth
school
districts
have
the
challenge
to
provide
extended
days
for
students,
utilizing
Extended,
Learning
opportunity
program
funds
as
a
county-wide
lead
of
technical
assistance
to
school
districts.
I
am
observing
districts
that
are
challenged
to
create
extended
day
and
summer
opportunities.
A
partnership
with
the
city's
programs
to
provide
extended
school
days
in
a
summer
program
for
TK
through
6th
grade
students
would
be
ideal.
C
X
There'll
be
a
robust
number
of
slots
for
four-year-olds
to
access
Early,
Learning
programs
in
the
city
of
San,
Jose
I'd
like
to
encourage
the
city
of
San
Jose.
To
begin
to
think
about
how
you
might
want
to
Pivot
your
planning
and
programs
to
increase
the
number
of
children
ages,
0-3
that
can
be
served
in
your
programs.
The
Santa
Clara
County
Office
of
Education
would
be
excited
to
serve
as
a
thought
partner
with
the
city
and
to
explore
how
this
might
be
possible
to
increase
the
opportunities
that
you
offer
to
Children
zero
to
three.
Thank
you.
Q
Good
afternoon,
chair
Reynolds,
council
members
and
staff,
my
name
is
Matthew
Kinsley
and
I'm.
The
director
of
the
strong
start
initiative
at
the
Santa
Clara
County
Office
of
Education,
on
behalf
of
the
county
superintendent
of
schools,
I
wanted
to
express
our
thanks
to
the
city
for
your
ongoing
investment
in
improving
quality
and
access
in
your
early
learning
and
after
schools
programs.
This
work
will
ensure
the
efficacy
of
these
programs
in
building
academic,
social,
emotional
and
executive
function,
skills.
All
tools
that
we
know
are
essential
for
School
Readiness
and
success
moving
forwards.
Q
The
expansion
of
transitional
kindergarten
means
that
almost
half
of
four-year-olds
are
now
eligible
to
enroll
in
TK
this
year,
and
all
four-year-olds
will
be
eligible
by
2025-26.
This
means
that
your
recreational
preschool
programs
will
need
to
adapt
to
enrolling
children,
sorry,
enrolling
younger
children,
more
three-year-olds
and
perhaps
even
younger
than
three.
Second.
Q
The
expanded
learning
opportunities
program
means
that
the
school
districts
had
sent
in
San
Jose
will
be
looking
to
partner
with
after
school
and
summer
learning
providers
to
provide
opportunities
for
low-income
children
in
transitional
kindergarten
through
sixth
grade
the
sccoe
is
ready
to
provide
technical
assistance
and
partnership
so
that
more
children
have
access
to
the
city's
quality,
Early,
Learning
and
after
school
programs.
Thank
you.
O
Good
afternoon
cherarinas,
council,
members
and
staff,
my
name
is
Veronica
Garza
and
I'm,
an
assistant
director
of
early
care
and
education
initiatives
at
the
Santa
Clara
County
Office
of
Education,
as
the
expansion
of
universal
pre-kindergarten
continues
within
the
state
of
California.
Families
are
learning
more
about
the
mixed
delivery
system
and,
as
a
result,
are
asking
many
questions
about
where
to
enroll
in
one
or
multiple
quality
programs
to
ensure
that
they
have
a
full
nine
hours
of
care
per
day
for
their
young
children.
O
Also
house
in
the
Santa
Clara
County
Office
of
Education
is
also
available
to
support
families
in
their
search
for
care,
and
so
we
would
like
to
recommend
that
the
city
of
San
Jose
offer
multilingual
Flyers
about
these
resources
within
their
City
programs
to
ensure
that
families
and
staff
have
access
to
information
about
where
to
enroll
in
programs
that
equal
a
full
day
of
care
or
nine
hours.
Thank
you.
B
Thank
you,
I,
don't
see
any
hands
unless
council
member
Jimenez
is
raising
him
in
person.
So
I
will
begin.
Yeah.
D
We
go
yeah
so
so
let
me
just
first
acknowledge-
and
maybe
it's
me
but
there's
just
there's
a
lot
of
information
and
a
lot
of
number
in
the
in
the
in
the
report,
and
so
my
question
may
or
may
not
make
sense
and,
and
the
answer
may
be
very
apparent
and
I
just
don't
see
it,
but
so,
for
example,
if
you
go
to
page
14
because
I'm
just
obviously
the
goal
of
much
of
what
the
city
does
especially
around
the
just
in
the
report,
the
digital
inclusion
fund
or
the
digital
equity
and
literacy
sort
of
work.
D
I
know
on
page
14,
it
sort
of
goes
down
the
list
table.
One
I
think
touches
on
digital
inclusion
fund
Learners,
the
the
percentage
of
breakdown
of
of
kids,
their
Latino,
Latina,
Vietnamization,
non-white
or
white
things
of
that
nature,
and
so
those
percentages
are
those
percentages
strictly
for
the
digital
inclusion
fund
or
or
I'm
trying
to
just
disaggregate
sort
of
what
that.
What
I
should
sort
of
place
that
what
that
I
should
align?
That
with
as
it
relates
to
some
of
the
information
you
shared?
U
Yeah,
thank
you
for
the
question.
The
breakdown
that
I
think
you're
referring
to
in
the
in
the
memo
is
particularly
around
the
digital
inclusion
fund,
learners.
D
U
Digital
inclusion
fund
grant
program
includes
the
asynchronous
and
the
synchronous
Learners,
that's
a
series
that
either
folks
can
do,
as
we
said
through
the
online
program
that
we
use
on
the
website,
or
they
can
attend
either
the
in-person
or
the
zoom
classes.
Those
Learners
are
adults,
and
so
that
is
one
bucket
of
work.
The
coding,
5K
and
the
summer
camps
are
a
separate
bucket
of
work
that
still
fall
under
the
umbrella
of
digital
literacy.
D
D
Okay,
all
right
and
and
say,
and
and
again
maybe
I
missed
it
but
say
for
example,
if
you
look
at
some
of
the
percentages
that
are
on
there
right,
Vietnamese
38.57
percent,
Latino,
Hispanic
20
or
so
we
don't
know,
because
the
target
of
these
is
of
some
of
the
work
that
we're
doing
is
certainly
to
Target
some
of
these
underrepresented
populations
that
typically
don't
have
access
some
of
the
programming
things
of
that
nature.
Is
it
so
I
appreciate
the
percentages
as
it
relates
to
ethnicity
and
and
race,
and
such
do?
D
We
have
a
census
to
whether
those
are
in
parts
of
the
city
that
we
think,
naturally,
certain
zip
codes
census
tracts.
That
would
naturally
sort
of
do
well
by
getting
this
exposure
right
or
or
and
and
I'll
just
I'll
just
throw
this
out
there.
So
as
an
example,
right
I
would
see
it
uniquely
different
if,
for
example,
I'm
just
making
this
up
right
so
don't
take
it
literally,
but
but
say
the
Latino
Hispanics.
D
If,
if
those,
if
that
20
came
from
the
small
portion
of
Latino
Hispanic
students
in
Amazon
Valley
as
opposed
to
San
Jose
right,
those
are
uniquely
same
sort
of
you
know:
ethnicity,
race,
but
I
think
we.
We
generally
know
that
those
kids,
even
though
they're
same
ethnicities
race,
they
may
have
different
opportunities
and
so
I'm
trying
to
figure
out
if
there's
a
further
breakdown
as
to
these
percentages,
as
it
relates
to
the
different
parts
of
the
city.
I
know
that's
a
lot
so.
Y
Hi
I'll
just
jump
in
hi
councilman
Rachel
born
City,
librarian
I
just
want
to
just
help
out
with
Samantha
and
the
team,
because
it
is
a
little
confusing.
The
digital
inclusion
fund,
as
you
know,
is
a
city-wide
program
and
we
also
come
to
you
to
present
on
that
Citywide.
This
is
really
the
library
was
a
grantee
to
the
original
digital
inclusion
funds.
So
we
were
implementing
programs
for
adults
across
the
city,
so
there
is
also
a
zip
code
breakdown
that
we
could
provide
so
that
you
could
see
that
you
know.
Y
As
you
recall,
we
had
the
plan
to
implement
the
digital
inclusion
fund
programs
and
then
we
had
the
pandemic
hit
and
so
the
actual
implementation
aligned
very
much
for
some
of
the
other
work.
We
did
so
I
think
when,
when
we,
if
we
could
be
like,
we
could
bring
back
the
ZIP
code
representation,
but
there
really
is
alignment
with
the
areas
of
the
city
that
were
most
impacted
by
covid
because
we're
working
with
similar
Partners
in
similar
parts
of
the
city.
Y
So
you
know,
while
there
may
be
participation
across
the
city,
it's
definitely
aligned
with
the
priorities
around
the
equity
index,
income
disparity,
impacts
of
covid
and
under
connected
or
unconnected
households.
Okay,.
D
Thank
you,
yeah
I
was
just
there's
just
always
a
lot
in
your
reports,
which
is
wonderful,
but
there's
a
lot
to
digest
in
a
lot
of
numbers
and
trying
pieces
of
different
programs
and
such
so
oftentimes.
It's
just
challenging
for
I'll
speak
for
myself
and
understanding
the
different
layers
of
the
all
the
great
work
that
you're
doing.
So,
if
you
think
it's
valuable
when
other
council
members
Express
support
for
getting
a
further
breakdown-
or
maybe
it's
in
another
report,
then
then
feel
free
to
do
so,
but
it
was
anyways.
D
Y
Second,
just
add
it's
a
valid
point
because
and
I
think
part
of
the
reason
it's
included.
Is
you
recall
when
we
first
started
the
edl
work?
It
was
the
first
time
that
we
were
really
committing
to
reporting
on
Race,
as
as
a
and
like
outcomes
for
our
programs
to
really
be
tracking
who,
in
our
community
is
receiving
the
services.
So
I
think
that
this
is
a
continuation
of
that.
So
it's
a
valid
point.
Y
D
D
You
know
a
lot
of
this
funding
going
towards
families
that
maybe
already
have
the
ability
to
do
some
of
this
right.
I
I
think
that
it
should
be
in
places
that
maybe
don't
have
the
the
accessibility
to
some
of
this
technology.
So
that's
sort
of
what
I'm
getting
at
is
that
there's
some
folks,
even
though
they
fall
in
the
category,
they
may
not
necessarily
need
the
assistance.
If
you
will
thank
you.
W
B
We
can
hear
you,
oh
okay,
I'm,
so
sorry,
I
I,
think
I
got
frozen
on
my
end.
I
apologize
did
we
get
a
a
motion?
Yeah.
D
B
Sorry
about
that,
thank
you.
So
much
I
just
have
a
couple
of
of
questions.
Thank
you,
council
member
I'm
wondering
along
the
same
track
that
councilmember
Jimenez
was
asking
about
and
I
know
that
we've
had
this
conversation
in
the
past
about
some
of
the
camps.
The
coding
camps
and
I
did
notice
a
breakdown
of
of
the
folks
who
were
and
I'm
sorry
I'm,
trying
to
get
back
to
that
page
and
I
lost
it.
B
Of
course,
oh
for
the
digital
inclusion
fund,
I
I
know
that
there
is
a
a
that
most
participants
were
38
percent
Vietnamese
speaking
latinx
or
Latino
Latina
is
20
Asian,
that
is
non-vietnamese
was
nine
percent,
and
so
that
indicates
a
bit
of
that
demographic,
of
course,
and
I'm
wondering
are
we?
B
B
So
what
kind
of
Outreach?
What
kind
of
what
kind
of
strategy
are
we
using
to
to
engage
them
more.
Z
Good
afternoon,
council
member,
my
name
is
Carla
Alvarez
and
I'm
a
community
program
administrator
at
the
library.
Thank
you
so
much
for
your
question
and
to
follow
up
on
on
both
of
the
lines
of
questions
within
the
library
system.
We
have
family
Learning,
Center
coordinators.
They
are
located
in
the
branches
nine
locations
with
where
we
notice
that
our
higher
socioeconomic
disparities
across
the
city,
and
so
those
full-time
coordinators
are
actually
the
ones
that
are
leading
the
majority
of
our
digital
literacy
classes,
and
so
what
they
do
is
provide
on-site
support.
Z
They
get
them
connected
and
understanding.
First
of
all,
what
their
digital
inclusion
needs
are.
So,
first
of
all
making
sure
do
they
have
connectivity.
Do
they
have
devices
and
if
not,
making
sure
that
they're
provided
with
those
devices
through
their
Library
membership,
and
so
that
they
have
those
resources
at
home?
And
then
the
classes
are
also
taught
by
our
staff
that
are
multilingual.
And
so
we
offer
the
classes
entirely,
either
in
Spanish
or
in
Vietnamese
or
in
English
English.
And
they
are
small
cohorts
to
be
able
to
provide
that
one-on-one
support.
Z
And
we
actually
do
also
offer
follow-up,
one-on-one
tech
support
by
appointment
and
through
established
hours
across
many
of
our
branches.
And
that
is
an
additional
opportunity
for
people
to
continue
to
refine
their
skills
and
be
able
to
receive
one-on-one
support
beyond
what
is
covered
in
the
eight
hour.
Curriculum
that
we
do
cover.
B
I
I
love
the
breakdown.
Thank
you
so
much
for
taking
me
through
that.
But
my
question
still
stands
in
terms
of
what
kind
of
additional
engagement
strategies
are
we
using
to
pull
in
more
Latinos
and
Latinas
into
our
programs.
Z
B
If
we're
we
continue
to
well,
this
is
this:
is
this?
Is
wonderful
I'm
just
concerned
that
if
we
continue
to
use
the
same
sources,
that
will
continue
to
have
the
same
kind
of
participation,
and
so
I
would
really
love
to
encourage
you
to
connect
with
a
lot
of
the
title,
one
schools
that
surround
the
libraries
of
course
and
I'll?
B
Tell
you
one
of
the
things
that
that
I,
we're
challenged
with
in
the
Evergreen
school
district
is
that
we
don't
really
have
a
lot
of
service
providers
connected
to
our
our
schools
in
the
way
that
maybe
Franklin,
McKinley,
School
District
does
or
Alum
Rock
School
District
does
or
San
Jose
Unified
does,
and
so
they
don't
really
know
that
our
children
are
struggling
because
Evergreen
school
district
is,
you
know,
most
people
assume
that
is
people
are
doing
very
well
or
students
are
doing
well
and
half
of
our
schools
are
Title.
B
One
schools
so
I
I'm
I'm
concerned
that
if
we
continue
to
use
the
traditional
ways
of
engaging
folks
that
we
will
continue
to
bring
in
the
same
number
of
our
same
type
of
demographic
and
so
I'd
love
to
see
how
we
could
really
step
outside
of
what
we're
already
doing
to
engage
and
for
me
I'll,
particularly
interested
in
in
District
8
in
in
Evergreen.
Because
I
know.
B
We
have
a
lot
of
Latinos
who
are
living
in
District
8
and
are
attending
Title
One
schools
and
do
not
get
pulled
into
a
lot
of
the
digital
inclusion
efforts.
And
so
I'd
love
to
see
how
we
can
potentially
change
that.
S
What
I
would
add
to
what
Carla
and
staff
have
have
have
referenced
is
also
the
fact
that
we're
folding
this
work
into
our
children
and
youth
master
plan
effort
and
and,
as
you
know,
that
has
a
Citywide
focus,
with
an
emphasis
on
high
need,
vulnerable
communities,
and
so
as
we
as
we
link
this
work
to
that
effort,
I
think
we'll
get
to
what
you're
asking
for,
which
is
making
sure
that
we,
and
what
councilmember
Jimenez
asked
for
previously
is,
is
making
sure
that
we're
reaching
those
youth
that
are
those
children,
youth
that
are
in
greatest
need
and
making
sure
that
we
address
this
from
a
digital,
Equity
perspective
and
so
I
think
that's
going
to
assist
in
in
getting
to
that
end
goal.
B
Yes,
actually
that's
one
of
my
follow-up
questions.
Angel
I
was
going
to
ask:
how
does
this
intersect
so
thank
you
so
much
for
for
actually
answering
that
I
think
that
is.
B
C
Z
Remembered
we
are
very
fortunate
also
to
be
able
to
include
the
promotores
with
the
city
of
San
Jose,
and
so
that
they
are
heavily
promoting
the
digital
literacy
and
Indigenous
inclusion
initiatives
that
we
have
through
the
library
as
they're
out
and
promoting
and
attending
different
community
events.
So
that
is
actually
a
very
a
positive
and
additional
team
that
is
supporting
and
spreading
the
word
to
new
communities.
Wonderful.
B
And
are
they
receiving
training
themselves
so
that
they
could
engage
the
families
with
what
the
classes
and
what
to
expect
like?
You
know
your
kiddo
could
learn
how
to
you
know,
do
such
and
such
thing.
Z
There
were
all
various
departments
that
did
deliver
presentations
about
the
key
opportunities
that
were
offered
and
that
they're
promoted
as
part
of
their
onboarding
process.
B
B
Y
Yes,
councilmember
jilborn,
City
librarian,
we
are
actually
with
aspires.
What's
exciting,
is
that,
as
you
know,
we
started
with
a
pilot
group
of
students
who
were
seniors
and
they
had
a
limited
award,
and
so
we
have
tracked,
you
know
what
that
small
cohort
has
done,
but
with
the
with
the
ongoing
program,
we
actually
were
able
to
onboard
younger
grades
of
students,
and
so
I
believe
this
next
year
is
our
first
full
cohort
of
students
who
started
as
sophomores
and
then
next
year,
we'll
have
our
full
cohort
that
started
as
freshmen.
Oh.
B
Y
B
Y
Yes,
we
as
we
support
the
career,
Online
High
School,
and
it's
it's
very
exciting
that
I
think
year
on
year,
the
San
Jose
Public
Library
you
can
all
boast
about.
This
is
the
has
the
highest
graduation
rate
of
any
library
in
California
who
has.
Y
And
so
we-
and
we
just
had
our
first
in-person
graduation
post
pandemic,
so
we're
very
excited
about
that
and
okay.
AA
Y
Time
we
schedule
one
you'll
all
have
to
come.
It's
a
tearjerker
for
sure
and
I
know.
Many
of
you
have
have
attended
in
the
past
and
been
incredibly
supportive,
especially
during
the
pandemic,
when
we
had
to
hold
them
online,
and
so
just
wanted
to
appreciate
you
all
for
that,
especially
council
members,
Arenas
and
Health
Burris
Garza
you've
been
such
a
huge
supporter
of
the
program.
Thank
you.
B
Oh
no
thank
you.
Thank
you
for
making
it
possible
for
our
youth
to
continue
to
be
involved
in
their
education
and
and
and
Achieve
that
that
diploma,
at
the
very
end
so
I
heard
there's
there
was
25
students
that
graduated,
and
so
congratulations
and
congratulations
for
for
for
being,
most
notable
in
the
state
in
terms
of
graduation
rates.
So
that's
that's
wonderful,
I!
Think
for
me,
that
was
that
was
it
council,
member
Esparza.
N
I
I
I
wanted
to
just
sort
of
add
my
two
cents
to
council
member
jimenez's
request
to
understand
better
geographically,
where
kids
are
coming
from
and
we
are
working
with
Alum
Rock
Campbell,
unified,
Evergreen,
Elementary,
Franklin,
McKinley,
Luther,
Burbank,
Mount,
Pleasant
and
rocket
ship
correct.
N
Y
Sorry,
I'm,
sorry
councilmember,
for
which
program
are
you
referring
to
well.
N
So
I
know
that
there's
a
variety
of
programs,
but
what
I
was
what
I
was
here's,
what
I'm
getting
at?
Let
me
just
get
to
the
point.
The
point
is
that
we
are
working
with
the
school
districts
where
the
need
is
highest.
Is
that
correct,
correct?
Okay,
all
right,
that's
helpful
and
I
think
also
having
the
overlays
to
understand
sort
of
geographically
who
comes
where
I
I
also
wanted
to
piggyback
on
Council
membrane
ns's
comments
about
Evergreen
Elementary.
N
There
are
a
number
of
schools
in
there,
particularly
KR
Smith
and
OB
Whaley
are
sort
of
geographically
more
isolated
from
a
lot
of
other
resources
and
so
I'm
happy
to
see
that
we
are
partnering
with
Evergreen
Elementary
as
well.
I
had
I
just
wanted
to
make
a
comment
to
you
know
it's
it's
interesting.
N
Being
a
council
member,
because
I
have
three
well
four:
really
school
districts:
okay
through
the
young
ones
in
my
district
and
so
as
I
go
to
them.
I
can
see
how
some
are
utilizing
programs
more
than
others.
Y
Yes,
councilmember
and
I
think
I
I,
apologize,
I,
think
you're
talking
about
the
SJ
learns
program,
and
it
is
a
unique
program
in
that
it
is
application
based
program
for
schools
and
districts
to
we
put
out
a
call,
and
then
they
apply
to
partner
with
the
city
for
a
grant
fund
and
then
in
return.
You
know
there
is
a
program
for
students
to
excel
in
school
after
school
and
then
there's
a
lot
of
reporting
that
they
do
to
us.
Y
So
we're
able
to
see
the
real
impact
of
the
program,
which
is
great,
it
has
moved
around
to
different
districts
and
but
I
think
that
it
what
we
have
heard
back
and
Evergreens
a
good
example
and
I
know.
Councilmember
Arenas
was
involved
in
some
of
these
correspondences
that
it
does
require
a
commitment
from
the
school
and
perhaps
capacity
that
they're
they're
sometimes
concerned.
They
cannot
provide
to
to
do
the
program
so
especially
during
the
pandemic,
through
Communications
with
them
to
understand
what
the
capacity
gaps
were.
Y
We
have
been
able
to
make
some
changes
to
the
program,
to
allow
for
more
engagement,
for
schools
to
be
involved
in
different
ways
and
for
us
to
provide
supports,
and
so
so
I
think
it's
good
for
us
to
always
get
feedback
about
schools
who
may
be
interested
who
are
thinking
that
they
can't
participate,
because
we
definitely
can
work
with
them
to
to
to
help
them
provide
this
program
to
their
students.
N
You
and
I
wanted
to
also
give
a
shout
out
to
the
library
staff
for
attending
all
the
back
to
schools
and
because
I
was
out
there
with
them
and
they
were
pitching
the
homework
clubs
and
at
Seven
Trees
and
around
Tully,
so
I
think
it's
great
to
see
more
engagement
and
I
also
wanted
to
just
make
a
request,
which
is
we
have
a
lot
of
different
programming,
particularly
on
some
of
the
stem
program
programming.
N
It's
really
important
to
do
the
camps,
for
example,
to
offer
that
ongoing
learning
versus
like
a
one-time,
episodic
learning
where
you
come
in
from
one
day
or
you
do
it,
for
you
know
a
summer
or
I,
just
I
think
that
for
kids,
that
really
that
really
need
it
right.
The
kids
that
we're
trying
to
reach
need
that
much
more
and
so
I
just
wanted
to
make
the
pitch.
For
that,
that's
it
for
me.
Thank
you.
B
Thank
you,
council
member.
We
have
a
motion
and
a
second
so
councilman.
D
Y
AA
Y
Very
excited
and
part
of
you
know
getting
their
accredited
high
school
diploma.
They
also
receive
a
career
certificate
in
a
high
demand
field,
including
child
care,
including
you
know,
office
support
things
like
that,
and
so
we're
starting
to
try
to
knit
together
our
graduates
and
see
you
know
what
are
they
doing
with
that
certificate?
Where
have
they
gone
with
their
high
school
diploma?
And
you
know,
are
they
continuing
with
other
programs?
The
city
provides
as
well,
so
that
will
be
actually
part
of
our
next
report.
The
College
and
Career
Readiness
report.
D
D
A
few
minutes,
wonderful
and
I'd
to
take
it
a
step
further
I'd
be
curious
as
well.
Maybe
over
the
you
know,
longer
sort
of
longitudinal
sort
of
study
of
this
program
is
if,
if
any
of
those
folks
end
up,
maybe
applying
for
city
jobs
that
are
available
right,
I
know
we
have
vacancies
in
various
departments
and
I'm
wondering
if
there's
a
natural
transition
there
at
some
point
in
which
the
city
which
helped
them
get
the
diploma,
can
also
help
them
secure
a
job
you
know
in
a
department.
So
thank
you.
B
So
we
are
moving
on
to
item
D5.
We
still
have
two
more
items
on
our
agenda,
so
the
next
one
is
D5
and
it's
City
initiatives,
road
map.
This
is
the
College
and
Career
Readiness
status
report.
B
Y
It
good
afternoon,
members
of
the
committee
Jill
Bourne,
City
librarian
and
today
we're
very
excited
to
be
here
to
provide
an
update
on
the
College
and
Career
Readiness
program.
Now
over
the
past
couple
of
years.
This
committee
has
engaged
in
many
substantive
discussions
about
improving
College
and
Career
outcomes
for
our
residents
and
ensuring
that
our
city
programs
are
impactful
and
make
a
real
difference.
Y
Now
from
the
program
quality
standards,
the
committee
directed
staff
to
develop
a
logic
model
that
documents
our
approaches
and
intended
changes
our
outcomes
across
City
programs,
which
has
been
presented
to
the
committee
and
then
from
that
critical
point.
We're
also
able
to
create
a
new
position.
The
College
and
Career
Pathways
coordinator
to
lead
the
next
phase
of
developing
out
our
Pathways
approach
for
for
implementing
the
logic
model
and
the
standards
across
City
programs
and
with
our
partners,
and
so
with
that
I'm
very
pleased
to
be
able
to
introduce
our
team.
Y
AB
Good
afternoon
everybody,
as
Jill
said
today,
we
will
review
The,
College
and
Career
Readiness
programs,
quality
standards,
performance,
metrics
and
Pathways
coordination
next
slide.
V
AB
First
up
our
program
highlights:
SJ

grew
to
over
1
000
students
at
our
partner
schools,
San
Jose,
high
school
and
Overfelt
High
School.
Those
students
claimed
over
5
500
Awards,
which
translates
into
a
little
over
than
less
than
half
a
million
of
scholar
dollars.
Teens

to
build
their
leadership
skills
by
developing
and
participating
in
activities,
as
well
as
becoming
Library
advisors
and
Advocates.
AB
AB
More
than
one
thousand
youth
responded
to
the
survey
from
grades
6
through
12,
representing
all
10

more
than
29

The
CCR
logic
model
is
labeled
equity
in
action,
because
we
want
to
ensure
all
programs
are
designed
and
evaluated
to
provide
high
quality
opportunities
to
under-resourced
communities
and
communities
of
color.
The
logic
model
is
broken
down
into
four
categories:
inputs,
activities,
outputs
and
outcomes.
The
inputs
are
the
resources
City
departments
put
into
the
programs.
The
activities
are
the
opportunities
the
city
provides
to
Youth
and
Young

My

be
to

Excuse

how
we
can
increase
participation
by
historically
underserved
populations
in
post-high,

training
programs,
internships,
apprenticeships
and
jobs
that
lead

long-term
careers

fields
that
provide

J
Hi
boy
Beekman
thanks
a
lot
for
this
item.
This
is
a
good
learning
experience
for
myself
how
local
government
can
help
the
community
process.
This
is
interesting,
stuff
and
interesting
that
how
it
connects
with
the
items
on
today's
agenda.
This
everything
seems
to
work
together
really
well
today.
So
thank
you
for
that.
J
This
is
I.
I
wish.
This
was
the
sort
of
work
that
the
mayor's
gang
prevention
task
force
talked
about
a
bit
more
at
their
last
meeting,
and
this
is
sort
of
the
work
sort
of
work
that
does
that
and
I
think
what
complements
what
Angel
rejos
has
been
mentioning
about
these
sort
of
programs
as
well.
This
better
explains
I
think
what
he
wants
to
be
doing
and
that
I
think
I
I,
guess
it's
the
idea
that
can
address
you
know
people
who
are
in
you
know
initially
Redline
communities
as
well.
J
As
you
know,
people
who
are
in
better
communities
and
that
isn't
so
very
well
but
better
communities,
well
people
who
have
means
and
people
who
don't
quite
have
means
and
I
wonder
if
this
is
ways
to
to
invite
basically
all
parts
of
a
community
to
to
work
towards
their
what
will
be
their
work
future
and
for
this
to
be
open,
accessible
and
understandable
to
young
people.
J
Good
luck
in
those
efforts,
I
really
needed
the
help
in
these
sort
of
matters
in
my
youth
that
I've
never
quite
gotten
that
I'm
trying
to
learn
now
for
the
very
first
time,
and
so
thank
you
and
yeah
good
luck
how
it
can
be
a
more
accessible
process
for
our
youth
to
understand
these
good
practices.
Thank
you.

Right
now
in

city
of

Jose,
we
are
facing
an
extreme
shortage
of
his
staff
in
this
area.
As
recently
as
this
morning,
I
was
speaking
with
a
local
Child
Care
Center,
and
they
showed
that
they
have
funding
to
serve
an
additional
50
children,
but
lack
staff
to
fill
those
positions.

like

to
expand

Q
Good
afternoon,

Arenas,
council

and

my
name
is
Matthew
Tinsley
and
I'm.
The
director
of
the
strong
start
initiative
at
the
sccoa
I
want
to
express
our
thanks
to
the
city
and
the
San
Jose
Public
Library
for
their
award-winning
work
to
support
Early
Learning
Professionals
in
the
city
through
the
family,
friends
and
neighbors
caregiver
support
network.
Q
The
pandemic
has
taught
us
that
child
care
workers
are
essential.
Workers
FFN
caregivers,
are
a
vital
and
under
supported
part
of
the
child
care
landscape.
The
city's
FFN
caregiver
support
network
provides
individualized
professional
learning,
peer
support
and
resources
to
over
a
hundred
caregivers,
improving
the
quality
of
care
for
hundreds
of
children
in
our
city.
Many
of
these
providers
are
taking
Community
College
courses
or
working
towards
becoming
licensed
providers
by
subsequently
enrolling
in
the
County
Office
of
educare's
chart
and
County
Office
of
education's
child
care
initiative
projects.
Q
Even
before
the
pandemic,
there
was
a
critical
lack
of
child
care
access
in
the
city
with
many
parents,
typically,
mothers
forced
to
cut
back
or
even
leave
work
to
care
for
their
children.
Programs,
like
the
FFM
caregiver
support
network,
help
to
address
that
unmet
need
for
early
learning
professionals.
Q
B
Thank
you
seeing
that
there
are
no
hands
I'm
going
to
start
with
a
couple
of
questions.
B
Well,
first
of
all,
let
me
just
say
thank
you
so
much
for
the
report
and
for
sharing
so
much
of
what
you've
done
for
our
community
for
our
youth
and
then,
of
course,
for
this
Workforce
that
we
see
missing
just
in
about
every
field,
particularly
I
heard
loud
and
clear
that,
and
even
before,
of
course,
these
comments
we've
been
discussing
regionally
how
we
are
going
to
prepare
for
for
our
preschool
for
all
efforts
that
are
coming
our
way
and
I'm
just
absolutely
impressed
with
that
FFN
caregiver
program,
I
read
that
there
was
I,
think
13
folks
that
completed
at
least
one
class
and
I
think
there
was
more
that
completed
a
couple
of
of
College
units.
B
Can
you
can
you
go
over
that?
How
I
know
that
there
was
a
like
a
partnership
with
Mission
College,
but
is
this?
Is
this
kind
of
on
a
how?
How
are
we
setting
these
folks
up
to
really
receive
their
accreditation
or
their
licensing
versus
maybe
just
testing
Waters,
because
it's
yeah,
sometimes
as
an
adult,
it's
hard
to
go
back
to
school
and
and
get
back
into
that
swing
of
things?
How
are
we
supporting
folks
to
stay
within
the
program.
Y
Yeah,
thank
you
for
the
question.
Councilmember
chair,
Arena,
the
I
think
that
the
numbers
were.
There
are
13
participants
that
completed
three
College
units,
but
21
have
completed
at
least
six
and.
Y
So
there
I
think
that
the
answer
to
your
question
is
really
that
the
the
team
continues
to
work
with
each
provider
or
each
participant
on
their
specific
needs
and
I.
Think
that
is
I.
Think
if
the
our
coordinator
was
not
able
to
be
here
today,
but
she
would
say
that
that
is
one
of
the
reasons
why
the
program
requires
such
a
high
touch
is
that
almost
every
single
participant
has
a
different
set
of
Life
circumstances
surrounding
them,
and
so
the
program
really
does
try
to.
Y
You
know
scaffold
that
person
with
support
both
with
from
the
library's
program,
but
also
with
many
of
our
amazing
providers
to
help
them
get
through
the
process
of
getting
the
whether
it's
the
degree
that
they'd
like
to
have.
If
it's
to
you
know
open
to
transition
their
home
daycare
into
a
licensed
daycare.
You
know
everything
from
helping
them.
B
How
wonderful,
how
wonderful,
how
do
you
anticipate
this
fitting
into
the
larger
picture
of
child
care
for
for
our
area?
Are
we
mostly
focus
on
on
facilitating
home
child
care
provider,
licensing
or
creating
that
path?
For
that
or
are
we
helping
feed
the
the
workforce,
the
lack
of
Workforce
that
that
is
in
the
in
the
I'm,
sorry
in
the
preschool
Realm.
Y
I
think
the
answer
is
is
really
in
in
the
Partnerships
that
we
have
and
that
the
that
it's
this
program
intends
to
be
part
of
the
larger
ecosystem,
and
so,
in
some
cases
again
the
the
the
participants
may
wish
to
enter
into
the
workforce
around
child
care.
In
other
cases,
it
may
be
a
different
outcome
for
them,
but
but
the
recognizing
that
this
program
exists
in
a
larger
context
and.
Y
We're
hoping
that
both
The
Cauldron
career,
you
know
project
this
whole
Pathways
project
is
one
element
of
the
larger
children,
youth
master
plan.
That
is
really
intended
to
recognize
that
you
know
we
have
Partners,
who
May
pick
up
some
of
the
participants
and
take
them
farther
on
their
journey
and.
V
Y
You
know
and
really
making
it
available
to
them
to
be
able
to
to
pursue
all
the
different
options
that
both
the
city
departments
and
our
partners
can
provide
them,
and
that's
been
a
real
challenge
for
our
residents
to
be
able
to
know
everything
that's
available
and
have
that
really
warm
handoff
between
programs.
So.
V
Y
W
B
Mean
I
think
we're
also
as
a
city
we're
also
an
option
for
a
career
in
our
prns
department.
Right
I
know
that
there's
callers
and
and
the
other
items
I
heard
them
Express
their
concern
about
how
our
Recreation
preschool
is
going
to
shift.
B
Now
that
there's
going
to
be
other
programs
available
and
will
we
start
much
younger
and
that
way
we're
not
I'm
I'm
going
to
guess
compete
with
for
the
same
kiddos,
although
for
me,
I
think
that
there's
all
there's
not
only
I
think
there's
always
an
issue
with
preschool
programs
that
end
in
three
hours
and
that
are
half
time
such
as
hours,
because
it's
it's
privileged
or
it's
it's
really
only
allowed
for
for
parents
who
have
a
very
flexible
schedule.
B
Who
can
you
know,
drop
off
at
nine
pick
up
at
12
and
we've
spoken
about
maybe
shifting
how
we
provide
our
services
to
our
our
community
so
that
we
can
create,
like
a
whole
day
of
care
versus
a
half
day,
and
then
parents
have
to
come
and
grab
them
and
take
them
to
a
child
care
provider
or
elsewhere.
S
And
I
think
that's
really
the
beauty
of
this
approach
here
that
that
really
came
out
of
the
direction
from
this
committee
to
really
take
a
look
at
trying
to
apply
kind
of
that
no
wrong
door
approach,
and-
and
really
you
know,
consolidating
and
inventorying
all
the
different
programs
that
we
have
that
lead
to
college
and
or
a
career
pathway
and
doing
it
in
a
way
where
we
make
it
as
seamless
as
possible.
There's
there's
been
a
lot
of
inter-department
coordination.
You
know,
there's
a
logic
model
that
has
been
developed
around
this.
S
You
know
quick,
shout
out
to
Adrian
McBride
from
the
library
as
well
who's
who's.
Let
a
lot
of
the
internal
kind
of
inventory,
work
with
other
departments,
Parks
and
Rec
and
and
and
and
other
departments
as
well
and
the
whole
goal
being
is,
is
really
trying
to
be
clear,
first
and
foremost
amongst
ourselves
around
what's
available
and
then
two
to
to
facilitate
access
by
the
community,
to
these
programs
into
education,
educational
advancement
and
ultimately
career
opportunities,
starting
with
the
city
of
San,
Jose,
right
and
and
then
looking
at
the
county.
S
Looking
at
the
nonprofit
sector,
looking
at
Silicon
Valley
for
many
in
our
community,
Silicon
Valley
might
as
well
be
2
000
miles
away
right
and
so
I
it.
You
know
in
a
lot
of
ways.
This
work
is
just
getting
warmed
up
and
again
that
this
also
is
work
that
will
continue
to
infuse
and
inform
the
children
youth
master
plan,
as
we
go
forward,
so
I
think
a
lot
of
good
progress
and
yet
a
lot
more
work
that
still
needs
to
be
done,
but
yeah
as
as
Jill
and
the
team
mentioned.
That's
really.
B
Well,
one
of
the
ways
that
I
think
is
is
the
the
easiest
way
to
facilitate
child
care,
for
our
families
is
on
site
at
the
schools.
Just
like
we
do
for
our
Rock
programs.
You
know
our
our
staff
actually
kind
of
pick
up
our
the
kids,
they
group
them
or
the
the
teachers
group
them
and
then
the
rock
members
go
and
pick
them
up
on
site
there
take
them
to
a
classroom
where
they
can
be
in
and
study
and
have
crafts
and
games,
and
things
of
that
sort.
B
I
know
that
we
haven't
really
discussed,
maybe
bringing
some
of
what
we
do
for
recreation
preschool
on
site,
but
I
I
would
love
to
to
have
us
have
that
discussion
so
that
we
can
potentially
serve
some
of
the
families
that
aren't
privileged
enough
to
have
flexible
schedules
or
to
be
stay-at-home,
moms
or
or
dads,
and
can't
pick
up
their
kiddo
in
three
hours
and
so
really
providing
a
whole
full
day
of
child
care
and
Early
Learning
Without
stepping
off
the
campus?
Is
that
something
that
potentially
could
be
part
of?
S
All
right,
I
think
what
we
could
do
is
take
that
feedback
and
also
incorporate
that
into
this
work
that
we're
doing
both
you
know
by
this
team,
as
well
as
work
that
we're
doing
with
the
children
and
youth
master
plan.
I
know
the
whole
pre
kind
of
the
whole
TK
pivot
is
going
to
be
pretty
significant
right,
I
mean
I,
I,
think
we're
gonna
have
to
really
revisit.
S
Actually
it's
being
done
now,
the
way
we
currently
provide
preschool
options,
given
that
a
lot
of
these
resources
are
being
school-based
right,
so
yeah,
we
definitely
will
take
this
feedback
and
and
and
incorporate
it
and
and
explore
see
what
comes
out
of
that.
B
Yeah
I
I'd
love
for
us
to
to
continue
to
offer
opportunities
for
our
families
to
have
safe
places
for
our
kiddos
to
go.
As
you
know,
it's
not
getting
any
easier
out
there
with
work
and
people
have
multiple
jobs
and
are
over
just
overextended
in
in
homes
and
private
homes
and
and
in
close
quarters,
and
so
the
more
that
we
can
offer
our
our
families
the
better.
B
Y
Yeah,
thank
you
for
the
question.
So
the
the
two
programs
have
some
overlap
and
have
have
partnered
a
lot
in
terms
of
talking
about
how
to
support
the
the
participants.
Y
I
think
the
The
Grail
program,
as
you
know,
is
highly
sort
of
geographically
focused
in
a
way
and
the
FFM
program
is
city-wide,
and
so
we
are
working
together
to
do
an
alignment
of
the
two
programs,
as
well
as
other
programs
that
similarly
support
adults
who
want
to
be
trained
as
caregivers
and
to
look
and
see
where
there
are.
You
know,
overlaps
and
ways
that
we
can
build
each
other's
capacities
going
forward.
Y
So
we
have
an
ongoing
partnership
and
we're
looking
at
strengthening
that
in
the
next
year,
through
some
potential
shared
programs.
Oh.
B
B
N
D
Far
I
I
just
had
a
few
questions
so,
for
example,
on
the
the
item
there's
some
attachments
I
was
hoping
that
you
can
sort
of
help
me
understand
how
to
interpret
how
to
read
and
interpret
the
the
attachment.
B
College
and
Career
Readiness
program
quality
standards,
and
we
can.
V
AA
D
Y
Then
the
team
can
certainly
give
more
information
so
at
a
at
the
high
level,
the
program
quality
standards.
What
we
do
is
that
we
have
you,
know:
they're
developed
through
a
cross-departmental
and
with
many
expert
Partners
in
the
field.
Council
has
adopted
them
and
then
we
take
them
back
and
you
know
not.
Every
standard
applies
to
every
program,
certainly
so
what
we
do
is
for
each
team
who
oversees
a
specific
City
program.
Y
They
take
the
quality
standards
framework
and
they
start
to
say
which
you
know,
which
standards
do
our
does
our
program
relate
to,
and
then
how
can
we
demonstrate
through
our
program
that
we
are
adhering
to
that
standard?
What
are
the
outcomes
that
we're
pushing
towards?
According
to
you
know
the
logic
model
and
then
what
is
that
outcome
metric
and
then
how
can
we
measure
for
that
measure
so?
Y
The
first
year
after
we've
adopted
standards,
because,
as
you
know,
we
it's
been
kind
of
a
two-year
process
of
adopting
all
the
standards
we
started
with
early
education
and
then
expanded
learning,
digital
literacy
and
then
College
and
Career
was
the
last
one.
So
the
first
year
is
really
helping
programs
understand
the
how
how
the
standards
apply
to
your
work.
Y
Most
programs
are
already
doing
a
lot
of
the
great
work
and
it's
just
hard
to
to
see
it
that
way,
and
then
they
start
to
develop
out
their
plan
of
how
they're
going
to
adhere
to
the
standards.
And
then
we
bring
back
those
reports
to
this
committee.
So,
like
the
last
report,
you
just
saw
that's
why
there
were
all
those
tables
and
things
because
some
of
the
areas
have
already
been
doing
the
assessments
according
to
the
standards,
and
they
can
see
how
well
we're
adhering
so
with
College
and
Career
we've,
as
Amanda
had
shown.
D
Be
able
to
report
that
so,
for
example,
like
the
first
I
I
I'm,
having
trouble
sort
of
digesting
everything
but
I
understand
what
you're
saying
so,
for
example,
on
attachment
B
I,
don't
know
if
you
have
it
in
front
of
you,
but
let's
just
look
at
San.
Jose
aspires
right
and
if
you
just
go
all
the
way
down
to
the
right
to
quality
standard,
one
right
for
technology
and
access
which
simple
to
understand
I
get
that
aspires
had
14
points
out
of
24,
that's
58
percent,
so
let's
just
I'm
just
making
this
up.
D
D
Y
We
want
everything
to
be
at
least
the
basic
right,
which
is
the
beginning
and
then,
and
hopefully
getting
too
advanced,
and
so
this
is
an
honest
measurement
of
the
program
right
and
so
in
different
areas.
You'll
see
that
we've
got
a
one
or
two
or
three,
which
means
we're
going
to
focus
our
next
year.
Work
plan
on
improving
those
that
area
Okay.
D
Y
D
I,
guess
that's
so
so
I
I
appreciate
you
saying
that
part
of
the
challenge
I
have
is
you
know
being
up
here,
and
this
is
this
happens
with
a
wide
variety
of
departments
and
programs.
We
see,
we
see
some
of
the
same
stuff
and
we
approve
something
like
a
year
or
two
ago
and
I
I
can't
remember
what
I
had
for
lunch,
and
so
the
the
challenge
then
is
is
like
when
I
see
this
I'm
like
how
does
this?
How
do
you
use
this
right
and
how?
How
should
what
should
I
do?
D
How
should
I
use
this
to
interpret
whether
this
is
working
or
not?
If
you
will
right,
and
so
the
reason
I
was
asking,
I
gave
you
that
example
and
I
know
I,
probably
framed
it.
You
know
that
maybe
we
need
to
improve,
not
we're
not
doing
something
right
or
anything
like.
Y
Y
D
Yeah
and
I
see
nothing
that
jumps
out
of
me,
but
I
I,
guess
I'm
trying
to
understand
in
the
future
when
this
comes
forward.
If
it
has
more
information,
great
more
context,
great
but
but
I
guess,
the
underlying
thought
for
me
is
like
how
does
Jill
know
what,
when,
when
a
percentage
hits
a
level
that
she's
concerned
and
she's
trying
to
figure
out
why
Santa
I'm
just
making
this
up?
Why
San
Jose
aspires
quality
standard
one?
Why
they're
not
reaching
that
percentage
that
she
desires
right.
Y
What
I
would
what
I'll
take
from
this
is
that
when
you,
when
you
see
that
percentage
or
the
outcome
for
one
year,
is
it
then
the
next
action
plan
addresses
the
areas
where
we
need
to
improve,
and
sometimes
the
Improvement
isn't
our
staff
or
our
program.
It's
like
we're
not
reaching,
and,
as
was
mentioned
earlier,
maybe
there's
a
community
partner
that
we
need
to
be
working
with
more
or.
Y
So
the
next
action
plan
should
address
that
and
then
we
should
see
Improvement
year
on
year
and
I.
Think
that's
really!
You
know
when
we
took
on
this
education
work.
We
said
this
is
not
a
quick,
a
short
game,
but
a
long
game
right.
But
as
long
as
we're
seeing
that
Improvement
and
we're
we
hear
back-
and
we
know
that
the
program
is
helping
people
that
we
we're
going
to
keep
working
on,
that
right.
D
And
and
then
so,
for
example,
I
think
it's
on
slide
three,
where
it
touches
on
Workforce,
Readiness
programming
fiscal
year,
21
to
22
right.
So
we're
looking
retrospectively
think
looking
at
so
I
I
have
a
question
about
as
also
just
an
example
right,
because
I
want
to
I
want
to
moving
forward.
I
want
to
make
sure
I
understand
this
a
little
bit
better
because
and
part
of
the
other
thing.
That
happens
to
be
very
honest
with
you
is
that
I
think.
D
D
It
you
know
she's
gotten
a
promotion,
so
I
take
it
for
granted
that
you
know
she's
asking
those
critical
questions
and
she's
not
going
to
be
here
very
much
longer
and
so
I
think
it's
incumbent
upon
us
to
someone
to
grab
that
torch
and
figure
out
a
lot
of
what's
happening,
and
so,
as
an
example
on
this
particular
slide.
You
get
San
Jose
spiers
again,
just
to
pick
on.
San
Jose
aspires
on
the
left
hand,
side
I'm,
trying
to
think
about
how
to
interpret
this
right.
D
So
2021,
2022,
San
Jose
aspires
a
program
that
theoretically
I
guess
we're
supposed
to
go
from
ninth
grade
to
graduation
right.
So
it
isn't
all
seniors.
It
is
an
all-freshman.
So
the
1190
students,
though
that
was
the
number
of
students
served
at
those
high
schools
for
2021,
2022,
correct,
correct,
okay
and
then
so
5500
Awards
claim,
which
is
easy
to
understand
scholarship
Awards.
So
the
students
in
college.
That's
one
of
the
things
that
so
so
that
how
how
do
I
interpret
that
that.
D
D
Y
And
they
were,
they
could
receive
up
to
a
smaller
dollar
value
as
part
of
the
pilot
up
to
500.
Okay,.
D
D
H
D
D
I
found
that
sometimes,
when
I
try
to
do
too
much
things
start
you
know,
may
I'm
not,
maybe
being
as
effective
at
A
and
B
if
I'm
doing
a
b
through
Z,
right
and
so
I
know
and
I
know
oftentimes.
Some
of
this
comes
from
direction
from
council
ideas.
The
mayor,
whatever
right
all
these
different
Avenues
by
which
it
lands
on
your
lap,
do
you
feel,
can
you
take
on
more?
Are
you
doing
or
I
mean
and
I'm
talking
about
the
library,
department
and
I?
Y
No
I
think
that's
a
question
is
valid
because
one
of
the
things
that
we've
said
through
this
process
is
that,
when
you're
willing
to
Pilot
new
things,
you
have
to
be
willing
to
say
when
something
doesn't
work.
We
want
it.
You
know
you
know
he
was
on
to
something
else
or
you
know,
maybe
it
graduates
into
the
community
or
something.
Y
So
we
are
definitely
always
looking
at
that
at
our
own
capacity
and
and
trying
to
measure
the
programs
for
that
in
that
way,
and
when
you
work
in
Partnership
that
you
know
that's
a
thing
too,
where
maybe
a
partner
can
take
something
on
I
would
say
that
I
think
you
might
see
in
some
of
these
areas
the
way
I
think
the
library's
role
in
some
cases
is
really,
although
we're
up
here,
presenting
it's
really
for
sake
of
of
like
brevity,
so
hopefully,
but
that
really
this
is
cross-departmental
work.
This
is
Library
parents
work
to
future.
Y
You
know
lots
of
different
partners,
and
so
our
role
is
really
to
sort
of
help
them
go
through
the
quality
standards,
help
them
with
the
reporting
you
know
and
and
help
with
the
reporting
back
to
council
we're
not
implementing
all
the
programs.
So
you
are
hearing
about
a
lot
of
our
programs
today,
but
a
lot
of
the
work
that
Amanda's
going
to
do,
for
instance,
they're,
not
all
library,
programs,
okay,.
D
So
let
me
let
me
ask
you
a
question
this
way.
So
if
we
say
you're
at
zero
percent,
well,
you
have
as
much
capacity
as
you
can.
You
can
take
on
anything
that
gets
thrown
at
you
in
zero,
zero
being
you
have
as
much
capacity
in
the
world.
You
know
you
can
take
on
anything
100
being
you're
at
capacity.
What
would
you
where
would
you
put
the
library
Department
as
it
relates
to
all
these
programs
and
the
capacity
which
my.
Y
I'm
kidding,
that
is
a
very
big
question
because,
as
the
other
thing
is,
this
is
our
education,
digital
literacy
team
who
are
amazing
and
they
work
with
amazing
Partners
across
the
city.
But,
as
you
know,
we
have
25
locations.
We
have
service
teams,
we
we,
you
know,
purchase
and
circulate
millions
of
items
to
the
community
every
day.
So
there's
we
have
a
lot
of
different
lines
of
operation.
Right,
I
would
say
in
our
education
work,
we're
kind
of
having
the
conversation
about
whether
we
can
take
on
more
large
programs
without
like
graduating
others.
Q
V
D
I
I
sometimes
get
frustrated
as
a
council
member
that
there's
just
the
much
of
what
the
city
does
in
all
the
Departments,
especially
your
department,
does,
is
super
important,
but
but
I
I
think
you
know,
I
I
think
we
need
to
do
things
properly
and
correct
and
be
successful
at
things
before
we
start
launching
off
spinning
off
new
initiatives
and
things
of
that
nature
right,
and
so
that's
just
my
general
feeling
about
everything
we
do
with
the
city
like
we
need
to
get
the
the
basics
correct
and
so
I
hope
that
going
forward
that
you
won't
hesitate
to.
D
Right
because
a
lot
of
this,
you
know
there's
millions
of
things
we
can
do
all
that
are
good
things,
but
we
don't
have
the
capacity
to
do
that
and
so
I
I
would
lean
on
you
going
forward
that
if
you
think
that
we're
you're
at
capacity,
let
us
know
and
be
very
upfront
about
that,
because
I
think
that's
going
to
be
helpful
in
us,
making
decisions
and
continuing
to
or
not
pushing
different
departments,
including
years
to
do
different
things,
and
so
I
just
wanted
to
say
that.
But
we
appreciate
everything
you
do.
B
And
council
member,
one
of
the
things
that
that
Angel
mentioned
earlier,
is
the
challenging
youth
master
plan
and
that
master
plan
is,
is
really
going
to
lay
out
a
Continuum
of
services
and
and
it's
basically
we-
we
are
kind
of
reorganizing
if
you
will
one
to
meet
and
and
to
uphold
a
children
Bill
of
Rights,
but
also
to
be
a
complete
Continuum
of
Care
for
our
children
and
our
youth.
Now
we
don't
have
to
have
every
segment
of
that
Continuum.
B
We
don't
have
to
provide
the
service
for
for
every
part
of
the
Continuum,
but
we
have
to
I
think
identify
the
partners
who
do
so
that
we
can
do
right
by
our
youth
and
and
hand
them
over
to
the
next
program
that
can
help
them
right.
So,
if,
if
we
can
get
them
to
to
maybe
graduate
from
high
school,
what
then
right?
B
Where
do
we?
Where
do
we?
Who
who
do
we
hand
them
off
to
or
if
we
are
graduating
them
from
Recreation
preschool?
Where
are
we?
You
know?
Where
are
we
connecting
them
to
and
how
are
those
parents
staying
connected
to
the
community?
B
So
the
The,
Children
and
Youth
master
plan
does
have
an
element
of
Cradle
to
career,
and
this
is
I,
think
you'll
enjoy
seeing
this
master
plan
unfold,
because
it'll
it'll
be
back
to
basics,
it'll
be
create
we're
we're
going
back
to
our
Basics
to
create
just
the
foundation
of
of
what
we
provide
for
our
children
and
and
our
youth,
but
we're
not
going
to
provide
every
service.
B
We
are
going
to
make
sure
that
we
work
with
the
other
systems
and
an
angel
and
Jill
and
Laura
have
all
been
working
with
the
county
and
with
other
service
providers
and
I
encourage
you
to
join
The
Advisory
is
that
is
there.
It
is
the
advisory.
K
B
Attempt
to
say
that,
but
but
this
is
this-
is
where
all
all
kinds
of
different
folks
who
are
interested
in
in
supporting
our
youth
are
are
having
these
kinds
of
conversations
about
how
to
coordinate
among
our
systems
so
that
we,
you
know
so
our
children,
our
families,
they
can
receive
the
services
seamlessly
and
and
that
there's
no
wrong
door
and
that
there
is
a
there's
more
of
a
guarantee
that
they'll
be
handed
over
or
facilitated
or
entered
into
a
program
that
makes
sense
for
them
after
they
finish
with
whatever
service
or
program.
B
B
I
think
for
for
all
of
us
at
at
the
city,
especially
in
these
departments.
I
have
a
lot
to
do
with
our
children
and
our
families
and
I
just
want
to
say,
I'm
not
gone
yet
I'm
still
here,
council
member,
so
we
will
work
together
to
make
sure
that
we
all
have
a
really
good
transition.
B
C
B
Thank
you
wonderful.
So
we
are
coming
to
our
very
last
item
and
this
is
D6.
This
is
City
initiatives,
road
map,
American
Rescue,
plan
ARP.
This
is
what
we'll
be
referring
to
as
ARP
spending
plan
for
American
Rescue
plan
funding
for
Children
and
Youth,
Focus
programs
and
services,
and
if
you
all
remember
this
is
the
funding
that
we
all
approved
back
in
November
of
last
year
and
it's
a
I
think
roughly
10
and
a
half
million.
AD
Good
afternoon,
council
members,
Laura
boozo
assistant
to
the
city
manager
and
the
city
manager's
office,
thank
you
for
having
us
this
afternoon
and
yes,
as
as
you
mentioned,
we
are
going
to
provide
you
a
status
update
on
the
ARP
spending
plan
that
was
approved
by
city
council
and
just
to
give
a
brief
background
and
context
on
this
item.
AD
The
city
of
San
Jose,
like
many
other
municipalities,
received
ARP
funding
to
support
and
move
communities,
families
and
children
most
impacted
by
the
pandemic
towards
economic
recovery
and
improved
Health
outcomes.
This
is
time
Limited
and
one-time
funding
to
invest
in
critical
programs
and
services
for
Children
and
Youth
on
April
26th,
the
city
council
approved
the
spending
plan
for
10.5
million
of
the
ARP
funds.
AD
The
spending
plan
was
informed
by
the
following
the
mayor's
March
budget
message
of
fiscal
year
22-23
and
in
the
interest
of
time.
I
won't
go
through
all
of
these,
but
the
spending
plan
was
informed
by
Community
stakeholders,
council
members,
families,
City
departments
and
and
other
community
stakeholders.
AD
Furthermore,
and
equally
important
is
that
throughout
the
development
implementation
and
the
evaluation
of
the
air,
pre-funded
programs
staff
will
ensure
that
there's
ongoing
alignment
with
the

This
slide
illustrates
the
increase
in
scholarship
distribution
due
to
increased
funding
through
a
variety
of
resources
and
sources.
Through
the
pandemic.
Prior
to
covid
and
fiscal
year,
1819
prns
distributed
885
thousand
dollars
annually
in
scholarship
funding.
We
have
seen
that
number
greatly
increase
through
the
use
of
cdgb
CRF
funds
and
now
with
ARP
funding.
That
total
will
reach
more
than
three
million
dollars
in
fiscal
year
22-23..
AA
What
is
also
important
to
note,
prior
to
this
additional
funding
families
had
to
pay
25
percent
of
program
fees,
but
with
this
increased
funding,
qualified
families
now
receive
scholarships
that
eliminate
all
the
fees
and
has
greatly
helped
in
reducing
the
cost
barriers
to
accessing
youth
programs
and
Services
for
Families
most
in
need
next
slide.
Please.
AA
This
slide
is
a
snapshot
of
scholarship
enrollments
in
three
summer
camps
that
are
offered
Citywide
during
the
summer
of
2022.
The
additional
ARP
funding
not
only
allowed
for
scholarships
at
100
percent,
but
also
increase
the
number
of
Youth
on
scholarships.
Without
the
ARP
funding,
families
would
have
been
responsible
for
164
thousand
dollars
and
an
additional
5184
enrollments
that
amounted
to
844
000
in
program
fees
and
scholarship
support
would
have
not
been
supported
next
slide.
AA
Please,
Erp
funding
has
been
utilized
to
increase
program
participation
and
scholarship
support
in
neighborhoods
that
have
been
greatly
impacted
by
covid
and
have
had
economic
barriers
to
Services.
The
increase
can
be
seen
throughout
many
areas,
such
as
Roosevelt,
Seven,
Trees
and
Welch
Park.
These
next
two
slides
will
show
the
impact
that
Mayfair
Community
Center
during
the
summer
of
2019
camps,
were
near
capacity,
reaching
142
youth
that
were
on
a
scholarship
that
paid
75
percent
of
program
fees.
AA
AA
AA
As
you
can
see,
the
Mayfair
area
in
95166
has
162
unduplicated
youth
that
has
received
a
scholarship,
a
assistance
through
arp
next
slide
during
the
summer
of
2022.
Prns
was
able
to
return
most
of
our
programs
and
increase
capacity
and
participation.
Camp
San,
Jose
camp
San,
Jose
junior,
fit
camp
and
teen
centers
operated
from
June
through
August,
offering
47
weekly
camps
and
serving
nearly
10
000
youth.
Recreational
swim
was
operated
at
four
pools
throughout
the
summer
at
no
cost
to
participants
and
also
served
nearly
10
000
youth.
AA
Our
neighborhood
center
partner
program
utilized
ARP
funding
to
host
two
special
community
events
at
Gardner,
Community
Center
that
was
attended
by
315
people
and
one
event
at
alvisa
youth
center
with
269
community
members
in
attendance.
It's
like
our
school
year.
Programs
have
also
seen
an
increase
in
enrollment
and
access
due
to
ARP
funding
our
out
of
school
time.
Programming
such
as
The
Rock
after
school,
Youth
and
teen
centers
are
operating
at
39
sites
across
the
city
serving
over
1500
youth,
San,
Jose,
Recreation
preschool
is
operating
at
13
sites
Monday
through
Thursday
serving
247
youth.
AA
One
statistic
that
I
would
like
to
highlight
is
that
in
previous
years,
prns
had
limited
access
to
scholarships
for
Iraq
after
school
program,
typically
Distributing,
only
eighty
thousand
dollars
to
families
and
only
covering
30
percent
of
those
fees.
Arp
has
allowed
us
to
greatly
increase
access
in
that
program
and
during
their
first
two
weeks
alone
of
registration,
we
were
able
to
distribute
nearly
nine
hundred
thousand
dollars
of
scholarship
funding
to
families
in
need
of
after
school
programming.
AA
Next
slide,
the
impact
of
the
ARP
funding
has
been
seen,
Citywide,
specifically
in
Opportunity
neighborhoods
throughout
our
city.
We
have
numerous
parent
testimonials
that
that
show
the
impact
of
these
programs,
but
I
would
like
to
to
share
one
from
a
single
mother
of
three
who
stated
the
following:
if
we
didn't
have
scholarships
it's
hard
for
our
family
to
join
the
camp,
so
when
we
have
the
scholarship,
we
feel
very,
very
good.
The
scholarships
are
important
for
our
family
really
really
important,
because
I
am
a
single
mom
with
three
kids
and
I
can't
afford
it.
AA
T
Good
afternoon,
council
members
division
manager
at
the
library
and
the
library's
program,
expansion
and
enhancement
proposals
are
centered
around
education
in
alignment
with
our
education
and
digital
literacy
strategy.
This
year,
sjpl
partnered
with
13
Family,
Resource,
Centers,
nine
camp
San
Jose
sites
through
prns
and
dozens
of
other
child
care
and
family
day

centers
throughout
the
city
and
reached
over
50

centers
in
nearly
2
000
children
between

Locations
as
of
September
2022,
the

staff
have
been
planning
and
developing
the
2023
winter
reading
and
the
2023
summer
learning
programs
identifying
Partners,
choosing
books
in
a
variety
of
titles
and
characters
and
reading
levels.
We
just
concluded
our
Halloween
book
tacular
program
and
gave
away
more
than
5
000
books
at
our
library
branches,
Library

selected
and
purchased
more
than
seven
thousand
diverse
and
bilingual
titles,
featuring
a
variety
of
chandra's
characters
and
reading

and
connected
with
local
schools
and
as
of
October
2022.
T

Our
staff
are
also
planning
and
scheduling
enrichment
programs,
including
the
monthly
distribution
of
stamp
kits
programs
that
include
art
activities
to
teach
children
about
local
indigenous
cultures.
Visits
from
wild
animals,
astronomy
and
Aerospace
presentations
and
magic
shows,
among
others,
looks
like
launched
in
2015.
Sj

expansion,
and
this
included
a
total
of
342

and
if
outcomes
are
met
and
grantees
remain
in
good
standing,
the
total
requested
funds
will
be
awarded
in
Spring
2023..

That
looks
like
this
is
an
app
that
highlights
the
library
programs
held
over
the
summer
and
in
the
fall
through
the
ARP
funds.

and
fall
with
that.
I
had
this
presentation
over
to
Laura.
AD
Thank
you,
and
here
we
have
the
expanded
programs
and
enhancements
that
we
included
in
the
spending
plan,
and
so
currently
City
staff
are
in
contract
development,
with
the
East
Side
education
initiative,
Silicon,
Valley,
Education
Foundation,
we're
also
in
the
process
of
contract
development
around
providing
social,
emotional
and
physical
health
screenings
and
then
also
on
the
Citywide
community
and
family
support
grants
and
then.
Lastly,
on
the
last
item,
City
staff
were
also
partnering,
with
Santa
Clara,
County,
county
executive's
office
and
other
departments
and
Community
stakeholders.
AD
AD
So
next
steps,
as
we've
mentioned,
the
children,
youth
services,
master
plan
is
currently
in
development
and
we
are
working
closely
across
the
city
with
different
departments,
as
well
as
Community
stakeholders
to
identify
policies,
programming
and
funding
recommendations
for
the
unallocated
balance
of
the
719
000..
We're
also
developing
a
vision
and
strategic
approach
to
ensure
that
all
children
and
youth
have
Equitable
access
to
Pathways
and
appropriate
supports
from
Cradle
to
Career
to
ensure
positive
life
outcomes,
and
we
will
continue
with
program
planning
and
implementation
throughout.
AD
And
then,
lastly,
just
wanted
to
leave
you
with
a
summary
of
what
you
heard
so,
as
you
can
see,
we've
had
pretty
extensive
Community
Reach
serving
over
589
participants
through
our
our
summer
special
events.
AD
We
also
engage
in
very
targeted
Outreach
with
our
project
hope
communities
ensuring
that
that
families
in
those
areas
had
increased
access
to
the
scholarships
into
the
enrollment
process.
The
distribution
of
over
3
000
books
to
30
classrooms.
It
previously
didn't
have
access
to
that.
We
have
served
an
increase
of
438
youth
through
our
after
school
programs
and
over
2
700
Library
program
participants
have
have
been
engaged
and
then
overall
this
year
we
have
1.2
million
that
have
been
funded
for
the
Academic
Year
and
overall
program
expansion,
primarily
through
some
of
our
neighborhood
center
partner
programs.
AD
That
previously
didn't
have
the
resources
and
support
we've
been
able
to
increase
programming
in
those
areas.
We've
also
increased
programming
through
the
Roosevelt
roller
rink,
as
you
heard
also
expansion
of
rock
programs
at
other
community
centers
that
previously
didn't
have
Rock
programs
and
then
the
expansion
of
San
Jose
learns
tutoring.
J
Hi
Ray
Beekman
thanks
a
lot
for
this
item
to
try
to
clarify
a
few
of
my
words
from
a
previous
public
comment.
A
few
items
back.
You
know,
good
luck.
How
you
can
include
what
I
think
are
real
important
civil
protection
ideas
and
Civic
lessons
of
open,
accountable
technology
practices
into
this
work.
J
You're
talking
about
here
today,
I
I,
just
I,
can't
emphasize
enough
that
it's
those
kind
of
ideals
and
ideas
that
I
think
is
a
real
important
part
of
this
whole
meeting
today
about
how
to
build
our
future
community
and
what
can
be
our
good
values
for
our
kids
and
what
they
want
to
be.
Respecting
and
learning
about,
and
understanding
I
mean
our
technology.
J
Future
is
really
important
and
for
kids
to
have
a
good
grasp
on
on
their
civil
protections,
their
civil
rights
Concepts
around
the
future
of
technology
and
the
responsibility
that
we
all
have
in
the
future
of
tech,
I
think
that's
hopeful
and
I
think
we
can
do
it
in
a
really
good
positive
way.
J
It
shouldn't
be
practices
that
are
hidden
and
and
and
and
kept
secretive
for
only
a
few
to
understand,
I
think
it's
a
I
think
it
can
be
a
real
full
community
engagement
process
that
that
invites
ourselves
that
we
care
and
that
we're
we
we're
building
a
future,
that's
open
and
trusting
and
and
peaceful
and
not
warlike,
and
it's
it's
it's
those
kind
of
things
in
mind
that
I
I
hope
those
kind
of
ideas
about
the
future
of
openness
and
accountability
can
be
addressed
within
you
know
these
good
practices
you're
you're
doing
here
and
and
all
the
practices
of
the
items
today.
V
Q
We
encourage
you
to
include
supports
for
children
under
the
age
of
four
who
aren't
eligible
for
transitional
kindergarten,
the
expanded
learning
opportunities
program
and
many
of
the
city's
existing
recreational
preschool
programs.
Most
of
the
cities
are
child
care
desert
for
this
younger
population.
Q
We
also
suggest
that
you
consider
how
to
serve
children
from
families
making
above
the
income
threshold
for
subsidized
child
care
and
elop.
There
are
many
families
in
San
Jose
in
this
missing
middle
who
do
not
qualify
for
subsidized
programs,
but
for
whom
child
care
and
after
school
programs
are
unaffordable.

Good
afternoon
charadines,
council,
members
and
staff,
my

Garza
and
I'm,

care
and
education
initiatives
at
the
Santa
Clara

of
Education,
the
U.S
Department
of

Services
defines
child
care
as
affordable
when
it
costs
families
no
more
than
seven
percent
of
their

A
family
of
four
with
one
infant
and
one
preschool-aged
child
in
need
a
full-time
Care
at
a

would
have
to

for
that
care
to
be
affordable.
O
The

median
income
for
San

of
two
adults,
one
infant
and
one
preschool-aged
child,
both
requiring
full-time
Care
at
a

The
average

would
have
to
pay
roughly
30
percent
of
their
income
towards

O
Care
we'd
like
to
ask
that
the
city
of
San
Jose
consider
offering
scholarships
to
families
that
are
above
the
subsidized
income
threshold
to
ensure
that
median

families
who
frequently
are
unable
to
afford
the
care
they
need
for
their
children
are
given
an
opportunity
to
access
the
city
of
San
Jose's
high
quality
programs.
Thank.

Hello:
everyone,
my
name,
is
Sammy
Santana
and
I'm.
A
recreation
therapy
intern
with
ability,
path
and
ability
path
is
an
organization
that
works
with
children
and
adults
with
Developmental
and
cognitive
disabilities
within
Santa,
Clara,
County.
All
the
way
to
the
San
Francisco
area.
I
am
also
a
current
resident
of
San
Jose
and
a
student
at
San,
Jose
State
and
the
memorandum
on
page
two.
It
was
mentioned
that
this
spending
plan
would
give
San
Jose,
Children
and
Youth
increased
opportunities
for
social,
emotional
and
mental
health,
along
with
physical
health
and
well-being.
AE
According
to
the
California
Department
of
Developmental
Services,
there
are
4
154
children
in
San,
Jose
with
developmental
disabilities.
I
think
it's
important
for
this
plan
to
utilize
the
remaining
funding
resources
to
add
Place
structures
that
are
accessible
and
inclusive,
to
parks
with
larger
spaces.
AE
The
presence
of
these
structures
would
make
a
world
of
difference
to
children
who
are
unable
to
use
current
Park
spaces.
Just
because
a
park
is
accessible
does
not
mean
that
it
is
inclusive.
An
example
of
this
in
San
Jose
is
dove.
Park.
The
flat
ground
by
the
play
structure
allows
people
to
access
the
area,
but
the
structure
itself
does
not
allow
people
who
need
Mobility
devices
to
use
it.
AE
These
children
deserve
to
have
the
same
enrichment
experiences
as
children
without
disabilities,
and
it
is
extremely
important
to
take
them
into
consideration
instead
of
brushing
past
their
needs.
Regarding
any
future
plans
that
affect
the
Youth
of
San.
Jose
I
urge
you
not
to
forget
about
the
children
with
disabilities.
B
Thank
you,
I
mean
look
at
hands
that
are
raised,
I,
don't
see
any
online,
so
I'm
going
to
begin
with
some
questions.
B
I
excuse
me
I'm,
wondering
about
there's
a
piece
in
here
on
the
mental
and
physical
health
screens
and
referrals,
and
this
is
500
000
for
mental
and
physical
health.
Screenings
for
Children
and
Youth.
Well,
I.
Agree
that
that
we
we
should
do
this
I
wanted
to
figure
out
what
the
age
range
was,
because
we
we
already
have
a
whole
system
of
care
under
first
five
for
children
under
the
age
of
six
and
so
I'm
wondering
if
this
would
be
flagged
for
children.
AD
Foreign,
yes,
thank
you,
council
member,
yes,
we're
partnering
with
Healthcare
kids
foundation,
and
this
will
be
for
elementary
and
middle
school
students
and
in
partnership
with
Healthcare
kids
Foundation,
we're
actually
able
to
leverage
the
investment
that
first
five
has
been
making
and
continues
to
make,
as
well
as
the
county.
AD
So
I
was
able
to
speak
directly
with
with
the
staff
in
the
county
to
make
sure
that
we
were
leveraging
and
not
not
duplicating
efforts
but
really
being
able
to
expand
and
enhance
the
support
that
they
are
contributing
and
then,
of
course,
with
our
partnership
with
the
county
and
also
working
closely
with
schooling,
services
and,
of
course,
first
five,
or
continue
to
ensure
that
we
are
maintaining
open
communication
and
identifying
those
gaps
and
and
identifying
opportunities
to
leverage
our
resources
and
supports.
B
Grade
I
would
be
very
interested
and
I
hope.
The
the
committee
also
would
flag
this
or
maybe
include
it,
even
in
their
motion
to
to
receive
those
updates
on
the
health
screenings
and
the
mental
health
screenings.
B
One
because
I
think
it's
good
for
us
to
keep
our
finger
on
the
pulse
and
see
what
the
larger
picture
is
telling
us
and
that's
data
that
we
normally
don't
have
access
to
and
two
if
we
are
identifying
kiddos
through
screenings
that
have
mental
health
issues
or
need
support
or
need
programming.
How
are
we
as
an
agency
being
responsive
to
them,
and
you
know
one
thing
is
identifying
that
need
and
then
the
second
thing
is
actually
providing
a
service
or
support
for
that
kiddo.
AD
So
in
a
partnership
with
healthier
kids
Foundation,
they
actually
have
Navigators
attached
to
their
program,
and
so
once
the
assessment
is
is
completed
and
they
do
the
the
social,
emotional,
the
physical
and
the
physical
includes
oral
vision
and
hearing.
If
there's
any
identified
concerns
the
family
is
consulted
and
then
the
Navigator
supports
a
family
in
identifying
the
the
referral
right.
If
they're
going
to
be
connected
to
a
health
insurance
provider
to
make
sure
that
they
have
the
health
insurance
connected
to
a
health
provider
to
address
the
identified
concern,
yeah.
B
I'm
I'm
a
little
concerned
about
that,
because
so
one
of
my
kiddos
had
a
difficult
time
during
the
pandemic
and
I
was
you
know
we
have
the
health,
insurance
and
I'm,
sometimes
I,
think
I'm,
pretty
Savvy,
looking
through
and
and
being
able
to
identify
some
resources,
but
I'll
tell
you.
It
took
us
months
and
months
to
get
one
of
my
kiddos
connected
to
therapy
and
in
the
meantime
you
know
there
isn't
any
anything
in
the
interim
for
for
our
kiddos,
so
I
wonder
from
the
remaining
amount.
B
That
is,
that
is
left
and
I.
Think
it's
not
very
much
it's
roughly
just
under
a
million
I.
Think
seven
hundred
thousand
is
how
are
we
being
responsive
to
some
of
the
things
that
we're
finding
out
through
some
of
these
screenings
and
I?
Don't
necessarily
mean
the
the
medical
piece
of
it,
because
I
think
there's
a
whole
system
for
that.
B
But
when
there
is
when
there's
kiddos,
who
have
mental
health
issues
or
who
are
being
impacted,
social
and
emotionally
I
think
that
there
needs
to
be
something
in
between
while
they
get
a
permanent
therapist.
While
they
get
connected
to
a
home
visitor
while
they
it's
something
that
we
can
offer
and
I
know
that
I've
mentioned
this
before
I
I-
think
that
there's
a
potential
to
have
maybe
on-site,
School,
Link
services
or
or
a
portion
a
segment
of
that
school
Link
services,
which
is
a
triple
P
parenting
program.
B
That
I
know
that
we
are
hoping
to
launch
off
in
the
Evergreen
School
District,
but
I'm
I
I
think
that
we
don't
have
to
have
the
answer
to
to
we
and
we
don't
have
to
be
that
support
system
for
those
kiddos.
But
if
our
system
is
a
helping,
identify
them
I
think
that
we
also
have
a
responsibility
of
of
providing
a
bit
of
a
a
safety
net
while
they
get
connected.
B
So
what?
What
is
it
that
we
can
do
with
maybe
schooling
services
that
could
help?
Maybe
just
alleviate
some
some
of
that
weight.
You're.
AD
Absolutely
right
and
what
we're
actually
hearing
from
health
providers
in
this
this
was
brought
up
in
the
community
economic
recovery
task
force,
some
of
the
clinical
staff
and
and
Health
Clinic
providers
have
mentioned
that
that
one
big
issue
is
a
decreasing
amount
of
mental
health
professionals
available
right,
and
so
there
are
Extended
lines
and
wait
lists
for
families
in
in
Children
and
Youth
to
to
receive
the
service
and
I'm
glad
that
you
mentioned
schooling
Services,
because
we
actually
have
engaged
with
them
over
the
last
couple
of
months.
AD
Again,
as
we
think
about
this
single
system
of
support
and
coordinating
this
safety
net
of
Services
for
Families.
We
want
to
make
sure
that
we
understand
what
are
those
resources
and
supports,
because
we
know
that
families
aren't
going
to
be
able
to
easily
access
some
of
these
Health
Services
as
an
example.
B
B
Think
if
we
are
funding
an
agency
to
help
us
identify
some
of
the
issues,
kiddos
are
having
either
medically
or
social
emotionally,
then
I
think
we
also
are
accounted
and
accountable
to
them
for
support
services
and
I
know
that
you
know
this
because
you
just
finished
telling
me
how
your
how
you're
going
to
go
about
that
and
be
rather
creative
in
the
meantime,
I
know
that
a
lot
of
different
systems
have
had
to
Pivot
and
and
I
think
that
there's
an
opportunity
for
us
to
continue
to
to
Pivot,
especially
with
just
some
of
the
funding
that
we
have
remaining
now.
B
I
know
everybody
is
going
to
Advocate
based
on
what
they
see
is,
is
the
biggest
need
and
I
look
forward
to
seeing
what
those
discussions
look
like
through
the
advisory
meetings,
because
I
still
think
that
there's
a
lot
of,
of
course,
gaps
that
we
can
fill.
But
there's
one
piece
that
The
Advisory
Group
is
working
on
and
that's
figuring
out
what
those
gaps
are
and
then
separate
from
that
is.
B
How
are
we
also
figuring
out
how
we
are
connecting
all
of
our
programming
together,
especially
with
this
ARP
funding
that
it's
not
this?
You
know
solo
funding,
but
that
it's
part
of
this
comprehensive
system
that
I
know
that
you
are
working
very
hard
Laura
to
to
to
bring
into
reality
with
the
cast
and
with
all
the
different
players
at
the
table,
so
I.
B
So
thank
you
for
your
response.
The
the
last
thing
I
just
have
and
I
know
I'm
going
over
my
five
minute
limit.
I
apologize
to
my
colleagues.
I
just
want
to
know
how
we
are
leveraging
our
project.
Hope
youth
ambassador
program
to
either
continue
to
promote
classes
in
underserved
neighborhoods
or
are
how
are
we
leveraging
these
these?
These
folks.
AD
So
they
have
been
the
project,
hope
and,
and
the
mirrors
gang
prevention
task
force.
I
know
that's
not
their
name,
but
I
can't
remember,
yeah
I,
know,
I,
know
it's.
AD
Okay,
it's
okay,
they've
actually
been
at
the
table
with
us
along
the
way,
not
only
being
involved
as
we
develop
the
children,
youth
services
master
plan,
but
also
again
in
this
in
this
and
the
safety
net
that
we
are
creating
across
City
departments
and
with
staff
they
have
been
with
us
alongside
and
so
we've
actually
taken
learning
walks
in
some
of
these
identified
project
hope
communities.
AD
So
yes,
so
we
we
are
working
closely
to
make
sure
that
they're
also
engaged
their
ambassadors
and
and,
as
Hal
mentioned,
even
just
with
the
scholarship
application
process
and
enrollment
process
for
the
different
programs.
So
we
are
making
a
concerted
effort
to
really
have
ongoing
communication
and
planning
sessions,
and-
and
we
know
that
this
is
a
long
process,
but
it's
something
that
we're
committed
to
doing.
Yes,.
B
It's
it
one
we're
looking
at
the
long,
the
long
game
here
right,
but
in
the
meantime
we
have
a
lot
of
kiddos
out
there
that
need
our
support
and
before
we
then
pivot
once
again
to
respond
to
those
kiddos
when
they're
in
trouble
I
think
we
we
know
what's
coming
ahead
of
us
and
so
in
anticipation
of
that
I
think
we.
B
We
also
need
to
make
sure
that
we
do
our
part
in
this
Continuum
of
of
services
and
Care
to
anticipate
some
of
that
intervention
because,
as
you
all
know,
the
dollars
that
come
from
the
county
are
only
used
for
when
there
is
an
issue
right
when
there
is
an
intervention
that
needs
to
happen,
it's
not
really
prevention
dollars,
and
so
we
we
have
more
flexibility
to
in
our
funding
to
be
able
to
do
that
so
anyways,
I
I
know
you
hear
me
Laura,
and
and
thank
you
for
your
response.
B
B
Okay,
let's,
let's
vote.
C
V
B
So
good
god
so
did
people
just
get
disconnected
now
or
and
can
we
ask
them
to
come
back
on
or
is
this
we're.
C
And
I
I
believe
when
the
questions
went
before
you
asked
your
question.
We
were
still
at
Quorum,
so
the
presentation
at
least
was
heard
at
Quorum,
so
I'm
going
to
go
to
the
attorney's
office.
Yes,.
AE
S
I
think
the
council
member
was
just
on
a
phone
call,
so
she
should
be
back
back
with
us.
D
B
Perfect,
okay,
so
we
are
going
to
take
a
boat
on
the
update
that
we
just
heard
from
the
American
Rescue
plans,
spending
plan
for
for
Children
and
Youth
focused
programs
and
services,
and
we
have
a
motion
and
a
second.
So,
let's
vote.
C
J
Hi
we're
Beekman
I
had
to
run
a
few
end
of
the
day,
errands,
so
I'm
I'm
sending
my
public
comment
on
Zoom
thanks
a
lot
for
your
meeting
today.
Neighborhood
Services
is
always
a
real
interesting
meeting,
and
so
thanks
for
your
work
today,
I
wanted
to
offer
a
few
words.
I
use
the
term
the
trick
of.
J
J
I
meant
it
in
friendly
terms
in
terms
of
it
takes
a
lot
of
work
to
really
understand
the
concepts
of
innovation
and
and
so
teachers.
They
have
a
lot
of
different
ways
to
explain
to
explain
the
process
of
what
exactly
is
innovation
and
and
what
it
can
be
and
what
it
can
be
about,
and,
however,
the
however
teachers
try
to
teach
and
how
students
try
to
learn.
J
You
know
there
is
sometimes
tricks
to
the
trade
involved
and
just
a
learning
process
involved
for
all
of
us
that
it's
much
larger
than
just
technology
itself.
Just
to
be
saying,
we've
got
our
law
enforcement
in
check.
Now
we're
awesome.
We
have
our
5G
in
tech
for
a
digital
future.
Now
we're
awesome
it's
much
more
than
that
and
I
think
I
tried
to
describe
some
of
those
things
today.
J
I
know
you
guys
know
these
things,
but
we
need
to
be
reminded
of
it
and
really
learn
how
to
just
be
more
open
and
how
to
talk
about
the
accountability,
I
feel
and
it's
civil
civil
protection
values
that
can
be
instilled
the
responsibility
that
can
be
instilled
in
our
community.
We
don't
have
to
fear
that
good
luck,
how
we
don't
fear
that,
with
22
seconds
I
guess
you
know,
I've
tried
to
speak.
J
Whoever
is
will
end
up
being
the
mayoral
of
the
next
San
Jose
I've
tried
to
speak
on
practices
that
we
should
be
thinking
about
how
to
continue
and
good
luck
in
those
efforts.
I'll
be
talking
about
that
in
the
next
few
weeks.
Thanks
a
lot.
C
B
To
the
committee,
thank
you,
and
that
is
the
end
of
our
neighborhood
services
and
education
committee
meeting.
Thank
you,
everyone
for
joining
us
and
we'll
see
you
next
month.
