Welcome
to
Neighborhood
Services
and
education
committee,
I'm
Sylvia,
Arenas,
council,
member
for
District,
8
and
also
your
chair.
For
today,
can
we
please
take
quorum
or
take.
D
You
wonderful
so
we
are
going
to
move
right
along
and
since
we
don't
have
anything
on
our
oh,
yes,
we
do
have
an
item
on
our
work
plan
and
I
think
we
need
to
go
to
our
community
comments.
First.
F
Thanks
for
the
meeting
today,
you're
gonna
have
for
this
item.
I
think
work
plan
issues
coming
up
and
how
to
deal
with
the
commission
process
for
seniors.
Basically-
and
this
item
is
of
interest
to
me
because
I
know,
council
person
Carrasco
has
been
working
so
hard
to
try
to
get
senior
services
for
at
the
rec
department
within
District
Five
and
in
comparison
to
how
the
city
services
is
what
many
parts
of
the
city
can
offer.
F
I
hope
this
can
be
a
long-term
Legacy
of
council
person
Carrasco
that
we
can
work
on
this
issue
now
and
really
make
clear
what
can
be
a
good
practices
for
seniors
and
the
future
of
community
centers
in
D5
and
I.
Guess,
that's
about
all
good
luck
in
those
sort
of
efforts
with
this
item
this
fall.
Thank
you.
B
Sorry
chair,
this
is
hi.
Can
you
hear
me
yes,
I
can
hear
you
okay,
great,
thank
you
and
I
apologize.
I
was
really
struggling
with
getting
on
on
Zoom.
Would
you
please
repeat
the
motion
on
the
floor?
I'll.
G
Repeat
it
it's
to
we're
on
the
item
review
of
the
work
plan
number
one
to
drop
the
park
deficiencies
and
needs
mapping
status
report.
G
B
The
senior
commission
am
I
too
late
on
that.
D
Wonderful:
okay:
let's
go
ahead
and
do
roll
call
Cohen.
A
D
F
B
Know
I,
don't
know
what,
where
the
connection
or
the
lack
of
synchronization
is
happening,
because
it's
it's
my
hand
is
up
on
my
side.
Oh
my
gosh,
but
no
I
I've
been
struggling
with
the
with
the
connection,
so
I
I
wanted
to
pull
this
senior
and
Parks
Commission
report.
B
If
can
I
speak
on
that?
Now,
yes
go
okay,
so
this
is
for
staff.
I
want
to
thank
you
for
the
extensive
work
and
the
support
that
you're,
giving
the
Commissioners
important
work.
As
you
all
know,
these
are
the
these
are.
This
is
the
bread
and
butter
of
a
lot
of
the
work
that
we
do
in
order
to
improve
the
quality
of
life
for
our
residents?
B
I
have
a
concern
regarding
the
very
extensive
report
from
the
senior
commissioner
commission
and
if
there's
someone
that
can
address
that,
I'd
like
to
just
ask
a
few
questions.
A
Yeah
Jeremy
schoffner,
who
leads
the
commission
from
the
Park
Rec
staff,
is
coming
down
to
the
dice.
B
Started
as
I'm
looking
at
the
senior
Commission
report,
there's
a
lot
of
activities
and
a
lot
of
work
that
I
see
on
there
and
I
and
I
wanted
to
get
a
sense
of
who's
carrying
it
out
or
who
will
be
carrying
out
that
extensive
list
of
activities
in
order
for
that
kind
of
work
to
get
done,
which
I
think
is
really
important
work
our
seniors
are
are
among
the
most
vulnerable
of
our
of
our
community
members,
and
we
need
to
make
sure
that,
as
as
we
look
at
a
family-friendly
city
that
it's
you
know
newborns
or
even
prenatal,
all
the
way
to
you
know
those,
hopefully
enjoying
their
golden
years
and
so
I've
been
very
concerned
about
senior
services
and
Senior
Outreach.
B
So
if
you
could
give
me
some
indication
as
to
who
would
be
being
looking
or
overseeing
that
work,.
H
Good
afternoon
council
member
Carrasco
Jeremy
shoffner
parks,
recreation,
Neighborhood,
Services,
Recreation
superintendent,
one
of
the
areas
that
we
support
is
our
senior
commission
within
our
Senior
Services
Program.
As
a
result
of
that,
it
is
our
team
myself
directly,
along
with
the
team
of
senior
services
staff
that
will
facilitate
their
monthly
meetings
along
with
supporting
them
in
the
completion
of
their
work
plan
over
the
year.
H
We
have
done
this
in
previous,
and
so
depending
on
the
area
of
emphasis,
we
would
engage
other
departments
other
jurisdictions
for
areas
directly
involved
with
prns
around
programming,
the
implementation
of
the
age,
friendly
action
plan
and
areas
related
to
that.
We
would
have
direct
support
and
oversight
and
support
our
commission
and
the
initiatives
and
work
plan
that
they've
developed
and
voted
upon.
H
The
Commissioners
typically
will
take
on
some
of
the
areas.
They
will
then
develop
smaller
teams
to
work
through
those
items
for
areas
that
our
staff
do
you
get
involved
with.
We
do
get
involved
with
from
a
prns
standpoint,
or
we
work
with
the
Department
that
relate
to
that.
So
I
will
use.
H
Digital
literacy
will
be
a
component
that
many
of
our
team
will
currently
focus
on
under
the
age
friendly,
along
with
collaboration
with
the
library
and
other
jurisdictions,
including
Santa
Clara
County,
for
something
such
as
Vision
zero,
that's
called
out,
and
it's
also
a
perspective
of
one
of
our
commissioners.
We
would
then
coordinate
with
DOT
on
those
efforts,
given
that
we
are
not
the
experts
in
that
field.
B
B
Digital
inclusion
I
understand
that's
very
techy,
and
so
we
need
staff
to
be
involved
with
that,
but
monitoring
covet
conditions
to
the
housing
issues
that
they've
called
out
showcasing
council
districts,
community
centers
to
bring
awareness
to
programming.
You
know
connecting
with
Emma
push
Park
to
identify
their
adult
programs.
That
kind
of
work
I'm
just
is
that
the
Commissioners
that
are
actually
going
to
be
doing
that
or
or
do
we
have
staff,
that's
actually
carrying
out
that
workload.
It.
H
Is
a
combination
of
both
if
I
could
back
up
to
the
covid-19,
so
that
would
be
an
education
process.
We
would
work
with
our
office
of
emergency
management
and
other
members
within
the
city
to
provide
resources
and
update
our
older
adults
on
the
status
of
the
pandemic
and
how
it
affects
our
older
adult
population.
H
In
regards
to
the,
if
you'd
help
me
with
the
other
areas
that
you're
speaking
on
so
I
can
make
sure.
B
There's
called
out
I
mean
that's
just
one
under
respect
and
social
inclusion
and
social
participation.
There's
quite
a
you
know,
there's
quite
a
number
of
items:
I'm
just
trying
to
understand
how
Commissioners
are
going
to
carry
out
such
a
what
I
consider
to
be
kind
of
a
heavy
load
for
Commissioners
I
I.
Don't
doubt
that
they
have
the
energy
and
the
will,
but
I
also
know
that
some
of
this
work,
I
think
should
be
carried
out
by
by
City
staff.
Absolutely.
B
Here's
an
example,
disaster
preparedness,
presentation
from
partner
ages,
he's
like
who's,
going
to
coordinate
those
Partnerships
and
who's
going
to
coordinate
the
where
what
how
and
how
often.
H
So,
in
regards
to
disaster
preparedness,
we
our
staff,
myself,
our
Recreation
supervisor,
our
other
administrative
staff
within
Senior
Services,
will
reach
out
to
officer
Emergency
Management.
To
then
have
them
come
and
participate
in
the
commission
meetings
to
do
presentations
and
then
look
for
opportunities
to
do
presentations
to
our
older
adults
at
the
community
centers
in
regards
to
housing.
H
Many
of
the
commission
haven't
been
in
our
community
centers
for
multiple
years
and
so
we're
working
to
integrate
them
back
into
our
community
center
operations
and
senior
service
programs
to
create
familiarity,
as
they
are
a
large
Advocate
and
proponent
for
those
programs,
and
so
what
we're
looking
to
do
that
is
as
they
return
to
in
person.
We
will
actually
bring
them
out
to
the
community.
Centers
engage
with
the
communities,
see
the
centers
see
the
program,
see
the
participants
to
create
that
open
dialogue
that
they
are
representing.
B
So
I'll,
you
know:
I
I,
wish
that
in
the
in
the
work
load
in
the
workup
report
that
we
had
seen
a
little
bit
more
engagement
with
outside
of
the
community
centers
and
actually
in
the
local
Senior
Living
centers
I
have
you
know
numerous
a
senior
living
facilities
that
house
many
seniors
that
don't
get
to
the
community
centers.
They
don't
have
transportation,
they
can't
walk
there.
They
don't
drive
anymore,
and
so
these
folks
have
expressed
to
me
how
isolated
they
feel
from
everything
else.
B
That's
happening
in
the
city
and
I
have
voiced
this
previously
at
our
NSC
meetings
and
I've
also
voiced
it
at
Council
that
our
seniors
are
are
feeling
very
there's,
a
big
demographic
of
seniors
that
are
feeling
very
left
out.
I
Council,
member
Carrasco,
this
is
Maria
de
Leon,
deputy
director
with
prns.
We
understand
that
this
is.
This
is
a
priority
for
you,
especially
in
in
your
district
and
overall
Citywide,
but
we
have
I
just
wanted
to
share
with
you
some
Outreach
efforts
that
we're
doing
and
to
address
some
of
your
concerns.
I
We
have
staff
passing
out
flyers
and
have
reaching
out
to
our
community
members
through
various
Outreach
efforts,
not
only
through
social
media,
but
we
have
staff
going
out
to
Guadalupe
Parish,
church
and
working
and
and
passing
out
flyers
and
connecting
with
the
community
after
Mass
we're
also
doing
neighborhood
canvassing,
where
we're
going
out
and
dropping
Flyers
out
at
the
homes
that
are
neighboring
the
community
center
we're
also
doing
Outreach
at
the
senior
living
facilities,
specifically
the
ones
that
you
had
recommended
and
talk
to
us
about,
and
we're
also
going
out
to
the
Emma
prus
Farmers
Market,
promoting
our
programs
and
activities
trying
to
do
some
Outreach
to
our
seniors.
I
So,
in
addition
to
that,
our
staff
is
promoting
our
senior
programmings
out
at
the
Brown
Bag
distribution.
That's
once
once
a
month,
so
we've
increased
our
Outreach
efforts
to
our
seniors,
especially
those
that
don't
have
social
media
in
an
effort
to
get
them
to
inform
them
of
our
services
out
at
Mayfair.
B
Maria
by
the
way,
thank
you
so
much
for
doing
that.
You
know
that,
as
you
said,
it
has
been
a
priority
of
mine
more
than
anything
it's
because
of
the
seriousness
of
isolation
and
the
consequences
of
it.
B
So
I
really
appreciate
that
you've
got
your
team
out
there
and
providing
much
needed
services
and
especially
the
information
that
they
need
in
order
to
get
the
services
so
I,
I
that
that's
it
for
me,
chair
I,
wanted
to
just
understand
how
we
were
going
to
provide
services
to
those
Senior,
Living
centers
and
how
the
work
is
going
to
get
done.
It
sounds
like
it's
a
combo
of
of
Staff
as
well
as
Commissioners.
You
know
again,
I!
B
Don't
doubt
that
our
commissioners
have,
you
know
the
will
and
the
enthusiasm
and
the
energy
I'm
just
you
know
wanting
to
make
sure
that
they're
going
to
have
the
support
from
staff
so
that
that
work
plan
can
actually
get
completed.
Yeah.
I
So
we
have
aside
from
our
senior
services
team,
who
actually
plans
and
organizes,
organizes
the
these
classes
and
activities
out
at
the
community
centers.
We
have
our
gerontology
Specialists
that
are
out
at
the
community
centers,
providing
these
Services
as
well
as
our
Recreation
supervisors,
to
hold
to
ensure
that
these
services
are
out
there.
You
know
getting
facilitated
that
they're
reaching
out
to
the
community,
so
in
terms
of
our
staff,
ensuring
that
these
Services
go
out.
We
have
our
senior
services
team.
B
So
the
last
thing,
I'm
going
to
add,
is
that
many
of
our
senior
facilities-
they're
they're
Bound
by
by
different
limitations
that
they
have-
and
so
they
don't
really
leave
their
living
facilities
and
and
they're,
also
interested
in
in
engaging
in
digital
literacy,
more
than
anything
in
dance
and
movement
and
health
related
activities.
So
you
know
I'm
hoping
that,
as
we
continue
to
build
out
the
services
for
our
seniors
that
we're
also
looking
to
see
how
we
make
it
more
accessible
and
I've
always
said
to
my
team.
B
You
don't
need
to
get
you
know,
folks
to
you,
you
need
to
go
to
where
the
folks
are,
and
so
you
know
where
they
live
and
where
they
experience
are
experiencing.
Life
I
think
is
worthwhile
exploring
so
that
we
can
provide
services
right
there
on
site
versus
making
them
come
to
us
at
the
community.
B
Centers
and
I
hope
that
that
we'll
start
truly
talking
about
how
we
provide,
whether
it's
through
third
parties
or
through
our
own
services,
but
how
we
actually
go
out
to
the
community
and
provide
these
Services
where
we
already
know
where
the
seniors
live.
There's
two
three
four
five
hundred
seniors,
sometimes
in
one
Senior
Living
facility.
So
there's
there's,
there's
a
large
audience
that
we
don't
need
to
look
for
they're
there
already.
I
Yes,
councilman
Carrasco
I
understand
our
staff
is
thinking
outside
the
box
and
looking
at
different
ways.
We
get
our
services
out
to
the
community.
We
did
a
pilot
program,
we're
working
on
a
pilot
program
to
do
that
off
of
Valley
Palm
Apartments,
we
developed
a
contract
to
do
program,
services
at
the
site
and
we're
also
reaching
out
to
some
of
the
senior
residential
living
facilities.
First
of
all,
to
see
if
they
would
be
open.
I
Many
of
them
have
programs
and
services
they're
already
in
activities,
so
we
have
to
ask
if
they
want
us
there
and
if
they
do
we'll
we'll
develop
a
contract
and
and
we'll
provide
services
out
of
there
so
long
as
there's
a
mutual
agreement
and
a
mutually
beneficial
for
our
residents,
the
our
staff
and
the
management
company
at
the
at
these
facilities.
So
we
are
thinking
outside
the
box
we
are
going
to
out
in
providing
Services
off-site.
We
did
that
this
summer,
Valley
palms,
and
we
want
to
pursue
that
from
this
point
on.
D
You
chair,
and
would
you
like
to
make
a
motion
council
member.
B
Yeah
yeah
I'll
make
a
motion
to
accept
the
report
under
what
is
it
two?
Well,
you
know
the
one
that
I
think
yeah
yeah
I'll
second
I'll.
Second
I.
E
C
E
B
D
Thank
you
all
right,
so
we
are
going
to
move
into
reports
to
the
committee.
This
is
item
D
and
we'll
start
with
item
day,
one
which
is
City
initiatives,
road
map,
covid-19
related
food
distribution,
expenditures
and
audit
report,
and
so
I'm
guessing
we
have
Joe
our
auditor
potentially
presenting
welcome.
C
The
covid-19
pandemic
created
an
unprecedented
demand
for
emergency
services
and,
at
the
start
of
the
emergency
Santa
Clara
County
requested
that
the
city
provide
food
Necessities
throughout
the
county.
The
city,
coordinated,
a
network
of
food
providers
to
feed
vulnerable
residents,
vulnerable
County
residents
from
2020
into
2021,
and
the
city
has
continued
to
coordinate
food
services
within
City
Limits
throughout
the
emergency.
C
Before
the
pandemic,
the
city
had
limited
experience
providing
food
services.
His
primary
experience
was
through
the
city
or
the
senior
nutrition
program,
which
provided
around
4
000
meals
per
week,
staff
estimated
that
the
city
needed
to
increase
the
number
of
weekly
Meals
by
1.3
million
to
meet
demand
from
the
pandemic.
C
C
C
We
had
three
findings
and
the
first
finding
is
that
the
city
spent
79.3
million
dollars
on
food
distribution
within
the
79.3
million
dollars.
64.7
million
went
toward
direct
food
assistance,
with
14.6
million
for
food
boxings
to
support
Second
Harvest
of
Silicon
Valley.
An
additional
2.8
million
went
toward
Necessities
distributions,
such
as
diapers
and
about
a
half.
A
million
dollars
went
toward
other
expenses,
including
supplies,
materials
and
others.
Overall,
from
the
start
of
the
pandemic,
through
June
of
2022,
the
city
spent
about
82.6
million
dollars
on
food
and
Necessities
distribution.
C
Overall,
the
city
contracted
with
20
different
vendors
for
food
distribution
in
the
contract,
specified
Target
populations
within
the
city
and
county
most
affected
by
covid-19,
either
directly
or
indirectly,
based
on
a
goal
of
feeding
our
most
vulnerable
City
staff
Focus
contracts
on
providing
food
to
Target
populations
that
are
medically
at
risk.
Seniors,
low-income
families,
people
in
temporary
shelters
and
families
experiencing
job
loss,
vendors
reported
their
meal
into
grocery
accounts
to
the
city
and
based
on
available
data.
C
Our
second
finding
was
that
the
city
should
gather
additional
documentation
to
corroborate
Service
delivery
and
support
the
city's
claims
to
federal
funds.
As
noted,
the
city
used
various
Federal
funding
sources
for
food
distribution
services.
Each
of
the
federal
sources
are
subject
to
review
by
federal
granting
agencies.
The
city
has
been
working
to
document
all
expenditures
in
preparation
for
such
reviews.
C
I'd
also
like
to
note
that
requirements
vary
by
funding
source
at
the
time
of
the
out
of
the
city,
not
fully
documented
that
food
contracts
followed
some
federal
procurement
requirements.
For
example,
we
noted
that
for
compatibly
big
contracts
for
food
distribution,
the
city
appears
to
have
met
many
of
the
procurement
guidelines
outlined
in
federal
rules
and
it
largely
transitioned
toward
competitive
Awards,
as
required
by
FEMA,
but
at
the
time
of
the
audit,
had
not
documented
compliance
with
all
federal
requirements.
C
Also,
the
city
had
not
fully
documented
justifications
for
all
non-competitive
procurements,
multiple
organizations
that
held
advisory
positions
on
the
Food
Distribution
steering
committee
or
non-profit
Leadership
Council
received
sole
source
contracts.
These
bodies
were
convened
to
assist
the
city
in
its
food
distribution
efforts.
C
The
city
should
address
any
appearances
of
conflict
of
interest
by
documenting
such
decisions
around
vendor
selections
overall
to
help
ensure
the
city
met
procurement
requirements
for
various
funding
sources.
We
recommend
the
city
collect
additional
documentation
on
steps
taken
during
competitive
and
non-competitive
procurements.
C
We
also
noted
areas
where
the
city
should
gather
additional
documentation
on
Services
reported
by
vendors.
Although
the
city
received
invoices
and
performance
reports
from
vendors,
the
city
did
not
generally
corroborate
information
in
performance
reports
by
requesting
backup
documentation
such
as
intake
forms
or
delivery
receipts.
C
C
However,
the
EOP
provides
limited
guidance
on
procurements,
using
federal
funds
or
for
contract
management
purchasing
staff
in
the
Department
of
Finance
created
tools
during
the
emergency
to
help
the
city
meet
Federal
requirements
if
they
were
not
consistently
used
and
staff
attribute
this
to
the
timing
of
their
development,
we
recommend
formalizing.
The
emergency
procurement
tools
developed
by
purchasing
into
the
EOP
help
ensure
compliance
with
Federal
funding
rules
and
future
emergencies
and
reducing
the
kind
of
back-end
documentation
work
that
staff
are
currently
undertaking.
C
So
we
recommend
the
administration
include
a
reference
to
guidance,
support
and
contract
monitoring
for
Federal
grant
compliance
within
the
EOP.
Excuse
me
this
will
help
ensure
resources
go
toward
their
intended
purpose
and
that
the
city
meets
Federal
requirements
for
managing
Grant
recipients
during
an
emergency.
Additionally,
we
recommend
the
prns
updated
contract
monitoring
guidance
to
clarify
expectations
around
vendor
site
visits
and
service
validation.
G
C
Eligibility
of
population
servers
overall,
the
report
has
five
recommendations:
to
improve
the
documentation
and
procedures
around
emergency
procurement
and
contract
monitoring
I'd
like
to
thank
the
department
of
Park
recreation,
Neighborhood,
Services
and
finance
department,
the
office
Emergency
Management
city,
attorney's
office
and
budget
office.
The
audit
the
report
is
billed
on
our
website
and
I'd
like
to
ask
that
you
accept
the
report
and
cross-reference
the
November
1st
city
council
meeting
and
I'll
turn
it
over
to
the
administration
for
their
response.
A
Thank
you
Joe
good
afternoon,
Lou
scofresti,
how
Assistant
Director
of
Finance
for
the
city
and
thank
you,
council,
members
and
chair
Arenas.
The
administration
really
appreciates
the
all
the
hard
work
that
the
the
city
auditor
has
put
into
this:
a
very
important
review
of
our
practices
during
the
covid-19
pandemic
and
how
we
were
able
to
get
all
this
food
out
to
folks,
as
well
as
manage
the
very
important
manage
the
manage
the
grants
as
best
that
we
could.
The
administration
does
agree
with
all
the
findings.
A
The
three
findings
and
the
administration
also
has
responded
to
all
the
recommendations
along
with
scope
of
work
and
timeline
is
included
in
the
document.
The
Yellow
Pages
in
the
back
of
the
audit
report
and
with
that
I
will
turn
it
over
to
Neil.
If
you
know,
if
you
have
any
comments,
thanks
Louis,
you
know
assistant
director
of
Parks
and
Recreation
Neighborhood
Services
again,
I
want
to
thank
the
team,
I
think
Joe
in
his
office
for
working
with
us
on
the
the
audit
here,
I
think
over
the
years.
A
As
the
council
heard,
the
updates
on
the
food
service
program,
I,
think
everyone
understands
the
challenge
and
the
scope
of
work
that
the
Departments
and
many
of
the
city
staff
put
forward
to
get
food
out
to
the
most
needy,
not
just
in
the
city
of
San
Jose,
but
across
the
county.
A
And
so,
as
Lewis
mentioned,
we
agreed
with
all
the
recommendations
that
were
put
forward
and
we
have
put
forward
the
timelines
for
when
we
feel
we
can
accomplish
this,
and
in
general,
we.
We
feel
that
this
was
a
a
good
report.
That
continuously
helps
us
improve
our
processes,
not
just
during
the
emergency
times,
but
to
carry
forward
in
terms
of
how
we
manage
and
operate
our
grants
on
the
regular
basis.
So
we
are
both
here
open
for
any
questions
that
the
council
may
have.
D
Great
thank
you
for
the
presentation
we're
going
to
go
to
public
comment
before
I.
Go
to
my
colleagues,
Blair
Beekman.
F
Hi
Blair
Beekman
here
thanks
a
lot
for
this
item.
Thank
you
for
our
clarification
on
the
previous
item
by
council
person
Carrasco
that
it's
seniors
within
their
senior
centers.
That
really
needs
consideration
at
this
time.
Thank
you
for
that
clarification.
Council
person
Carrasco
for
this
item.
Just
a
thank
you
in
in
talking
about
food
distribution
issues
in
this
era
of
covid
and
moving
out
of
covid.
F
How
will
we
be
feeding
people
like
I've,
been
saying
to
yourselves
I've
been
making
a
move
in
a
transition
to
San
Diego
at
this
time,
and
I've
interestingly
learned
that
about
70
of
their
children
going
to
schools
are
on
the
free
lunch
program.
Now,
that's
70
of
like
a
1.5
million
population.
That's
a
large
number!
So
this
is
an
important
item
and
it's
it's
nice
to
pass
along
being
in
San
Diego.
You
know
the
good
work
that
you
do
in
San
Jose.
F
They
have
a
good
auditing
department
down
in
San
Jose
that
may
be
of
interest
to
yourselves
it'll
be
nice
to
pass
along
things,
what
they
do
well
and
what
they're
doing
so
thanks
a
lot
for
this
item.
D
Great,
thank
you.
So
we
are
going
to
I,
don't
see
any
hands.
Oh
no
I
do
I
apologize
council
member
sparza.
Please.
B
D
Wonderful
Let's
roll.
D
You
wonderful
well,
this
leads
us
to
our
next
item,
and
this
is
excuse
me.
This
is
item
D2,
which
is
City
initiatives;
roadmap,
the
children
and
youth
services
master
plan
status
report
for
those
of
you
following
us
at
home,
welcome
and
go
ahead
and
begin
your
presentation.
K
All
right,
thank
you,
chair
as
as
staff
it
enters
the
box
I
just
kind
of
framed
this
with
a
couple
of
comments.
As
you
know,
we
received
Council
direction
to
to
develop
a
Children
and
Youth
master
plan.
K
A
lot
of
this
work
coming
from
budget
recommendations
coming
from
council
member
Carrasco
yourself
shared
in
us
through
through
NSC
and
I'm,
glad
to
report
that
we
are
well
underway
in
terms
of
development
of
this
master
plan,
we've
convened
a
cross-sector
of
community
leadership
in
this
in
this
space
that
this
process
is
actually
in
motion.
Now,
as
we
speak,
in
fact,
we
just
had
our
our
most
recent
Community
advisory
task
force
meeting
yesterday
very
well
attended
that
the
discussion
has
been
very
robust,
so
many
partners
are
leaning
into
this
work.
K
We
have
over.
You
know
over
50
stakeholders
that
not
only
serve
on
this
advisory
task
force,
but
in
addition
to
that,
there's
a
very
robust,
Community
engagement
process
where
we're
reaching
out
not
not
just
to
kind
of
capture
the
voice
of
of
those
that
typically
speak,
but
especially
those
that
typically
do
not
speak
and
our
whole
focus
and
goal
here.
Our
end
goal
here
is
to
develop
a
cradle
to
Career
Youth
Services
master
plan
that
will
create
opportunity
Pathways
for
our
young
people
here
in
San
Jose,
and
so
with
that.
K
Let
me
turn
it
over
to
Laura
and
Maria
and
for
the
presentation.
E
Thank
you
Angel
good
afternoon,
council
members,
Laura
boozo
assistant
to
the
city
manager
in
the
city
manager's
office.
It
is
my
pleasure
to
be
here
this
afternoon
to
provide
you
and
the
public
a
status
update
on
the
children,
youth
services
master
plan
for
the
city
of
San
Jose
I
would
like
to
provide
you
a
brief
background
and
context
on
how
we
got
to
this
point.
In
the
mayor's
June
2021
budget
message,
the
city
manager's
office
was
directed
to
develop
a
comprehensive
Cradle
to
Career
youth
development.
E
Master
plan
now
referred
to
as
a
children's
Youth
Services
master
plan.
The
city
council
recognized
that
children,
youth
and
young
people,
especially
from
specific
zip
codes
who
were
already
experiencing
socioeconomic
challenges,
were
disproportionately
impacted
by
the
pandemic,
compounding
their
situation.
Consequently,
they're
facing
unsurmountable
difficulties
and
barriers
to
economic
recovery
and
limited
improvements
in
their
health,
physical,
mental
and
social,
emotional
well-being.
E
As
we
develop
the
children
youth
master
plan,
we
are
ensuring
alignment
with
the
following:
the
education,
digital
literacy
strategy,
the
San
Jose
education
initiative,
also
known
as
the
education
policy
0-30,
the
city
of
San,
Jose
Bill
of
Rights
for
Children
and
Youth,
and
the
recently
completed
audit
report
from
the
auditor's
office.
In
addition,
the
master
plan
is
being
informed
by
two
joint
special
meetings
on
child
well-being.
E
With
the
city
of
San,
Jose
NSC
and
the
committee
of
the
whole
and
the
county
of
Santa
Clara
children's
seniors
and
families
committee,
the
master
plan
is
also
informed
by
numerous
conversations
held
with
Community
Partners
and
City
staff.
During
the
development
of
the
spending
plan
for
the
10.5
million
of
ARP
American
Rescue
plan
funds
for
children,
youth
services,
which
was
approved
by
City
Council
on
April
26
of
this
year.
E
Next
slide.
City
staff
recognize
the
importance
of
a
whole
child
approach,
supporting
a
child's
development
from
birth
to
adulthood
across
systems
and
in
partnership
with
all
those
attach
a
child
and
youth
and
their
families.
Therefore,
through
a
racial
Equity
lands
and
Collective
impact,
the
city
of
San,
Jose
children,
youth
services,
master
plan
will
provide
a
strategic
framework,
an
approach
to
changing
the
narrative
for
many
of
the
youth
in
our
community.
E
It
is
also
the
vision
that
all
Children
and
Youth
and
Young
adults,
particularly
those
most
vulnerable,
have
increased
opportunities
to
gain
21st
century
skills
that
lead
to
Better,
Health
outcomes,
sustainable
employment
and
a
competitive
competitive
living
wage.
So
they
can
live
and
thrive
in
this
community.
E
The
city
manager's
office,
in
partnership
with
the
library
parks,
recreation
and
Neighborhood
Services
office
of
Economic,
Development,
Office
of
racial
equity
and
other
department
staff
are
currently
in
the
process
of
developing
the
master
plan.
We
have
made
some
significant
Milestones
over
the
course
of
this
fiscal
year.
We've
developed
a
process
and
timeline
established
committees
and
advisories
identified
Consultants
identified
Community
engagement
strategies.
E
The
master
plan
will
be
informed
by
the
Bill
of
Rights
that
I
just
mentioned,
as
well
as
primary
data
collected
through
focus
groups,
interviews,
youth,
Town,
Halls,
parent
caregiver,
town
hall
and
a
city-wide
survey.
We
will
also
be
collecting
reviewing
analyzing
National
County
city
and
local
research
reports
to
inform
us
of
current
trends
and
outcome
data.
E
E
To
move
this
to
move
the
work
for
the
city,
manager's
office
has
created
a
team
structure
of
committees
and
advisories
to
provide
input,
recommendations,
guidance
and
support
in
the
design
and
development
of
the
master
plan
in
your
packet.
You
have
attachment
a
which
includes
more
information
on
the
team
structure,
as
you
can
see
here
in
the
visual,
the
team
structure
includes
the
mayor
city,
council
and
NSC,
which
provide
guidance
and
Direction
on
policy
and
budget
priorities
to
the
far
left
is
the
executive
committee
comprised
of
City
Department
directors
and
program
staff.
E
We
have
a
community
advisory,
comprised
of
County
departments,
City
staff,
community-based
organizations,
educational
leaders,
parents,
caregivers
and
young
people.
We
have
highly
engaged
Community
advisory
members.
We
have
had
50,
plus
individuals
participating
representing
diverse
organizations
from
the
city
and
the
county.
The
list
of
community
advisory
members
is
provided
an
attachment
fee
of
your
packet.
E
E
We're
also
leveraging
the
work
that
has
been
undertaken
by
prnest.
The
mayor,
scan
prevention
task
force
and
the
county
by
partnering,
with
Consultants
research,
development,
Associates
and
collect
collective
impact.
Solutions
both
Consultants
are
providing
guidance,
evalu,
evaluation,
support
and
expertise
to
inform
design
and
develop
the
master
plan.
E
As
part
of
our
team
structure,
as
angel
had
mentioned,
we've
established
monthly
meetings.
We've
had
three
meetings
up
to
this
point.
In
addition,
we
have
scheduled
brainstorming
sessions
to
provide
Our
Community
Partners
in
a
small
group
setting
the
opportunity
to
shape
and
provide
input
and
guidance
on
the
priority
areas
for
the
focus
groups,
the
empathy
interviews
and
the
city-wide
survey.
E
Again,
we
have
had
diverse
representation
in
these
sessions,
and
you
have
listed
here
the
brainstorming
sessions
that
we
helped
throughout
the
development
of
the
children
youth
master
plan.
We
are
steadfast
in
our
commitment
to
uplifting
the
diverse
voices
and
lift
experiences
of
children,
youth
parents,
caregivers
and
we
are
doing
this
in
partnership
with
Community
stakeholders.
E
E
As
mentioned,
we're
also
partnering
closely
with
the
youth
commission
attending
their
monthly
meetings
and
once
a
master
plan
is
complete
and
approved,
we
will
be
exploring
with
them
in
identifying
recommendations
within
the
master
plan
to
include
in
their
work
plan
for
next
fiscal
year
and
here's
a
timeline
overview.
As
mentioned
we're
currently
developing
our
focus
group
interviews
and
Citywide
survey.
E
Our
goal
is
to
have
both
complete
by
within
the
next
two
weeks.
As
mentioned
between
October
24th
and
November
18.
We
will
be
out
in
community
soliciting
Community
input
and
feedback,
and
if
in
December
we
will
develop
a
summary
and
Analysis
of
the
findings
from
the
community
conversations
and
engagement
activities,
we
will
have
a
draft
of
the
master
plan
in
mid-December,
recognizing
that
we
have
a
new
mayor
and
City
Council
in
January.
E
E
We
have
quite
a
bit
of
work
ahead,
but
we
are
confident
that
we
will
have
a
children,
youth
services,
master
plan
that
will
demonstrate
what
is
possible
when
families,
City
staff
and
partners
across
systems
work
together
to
ensure
that
every
child,
Youth
and
Young
person
has
the
resources,
supports
guidance
and
safety
net
to
realize
their
hopes
and
dreams.
These
are
the
organizations
and
Community
stakeholders
that
are
part
of
the
executive
committee
and
Community
advisory.
E
D
A
F
Foreign
here,
I
guess,
first
to
again
clarify
myself:
it's
it's
San
Diego's,
offering
70
of
children
in
the
free
lunch
program
in
their
school
systems,
70
of
the
children
in
San
Diego.
That's
that's
how
it
works
there.
That's
a
lot
to
go
on
to
this
item.
Thank
you
that
for
your
work
on
this
item
and
thank
you
that
the
previous
children,
youth
Bill
of
Rights,
item
at
city
council
a
few
weeks
ago,
you
guys
spent
a
long
time
on
that
item.
F
It
was
really
nice
and
to
try
to
you
know
mention
the
Bill
of
Rights
issues
and
what
kids
can
be
working
on
and
thinking
about.
I
really
hope
you
can
learn
how
to
include
you
know
the
ideas
of
accountability
and
and
civil
protections
and
civil
rights
ideas
that
that
can
be
a
part
of
the
digital
literacy
future.
It's
not
just
you
know.
F
Digital
literacy,
I
I
feel
that
to
offer
that,
along
with
the
concepts
of
what
are
their
civil
rights
and
civil
protections,
that's
building
sustainable,
that's
building
sustainability
and
that's
building
a
well-rounded
person
for
the
future
of
our
democracy
and
that's
those
are
important
Concepts
to
learn.
Good
luck!
How
we
can
do
that,
make
those
sort
of
efforts.
F
That's
why
the
work
I'm,
a
part
of
I,
think
is
so
interesting
and
hopeful
and
positive
and
and
how
it
can
help
in
many
parts
of
our
lives-
and
this
is
this-
is
one
of
them
that
just
a
good
luck
with
this
program
and
to
quickly
conclude
I
I,
might
have
to
leave
a
bit
early
today.
So
I
just
wanted
to
comment
that
I
think
the
ideas
of
the
mayor
going
to
Egypt.
F
A
Yes,
this
is
Lillian
from
District
three
formerly
District
Six.
You
mentioned
support
for
parents
and
caregivers
and
those
organizations
I'm
curious
when
your
town
hall
meeting
will
be
for
the
parent
caregiver.
You
also
mentioned
something
about
young
adults,
so
in
the
master
plan,
I'm
hoping
to
see
something
in
regards
to
the
parent
caregiver,
the
individual
that
is
disabled.
Talking
about
young
adults
with
autism
that
can
interact
a
little
bit
more
at
the
senior
centers
there's
a
real
lack
of
that
currently.
Thank
you.
So
much
back.
D
To
the
committee,
thank
you
not
seeing
any
hands
I'm
just
going
to
begin
with
some
comments.
First
of
all,
just
to
thank
you
for
all
of
the
work
that
you've
been
doing.
I
don't
know
if
you
noticed,
but
I
cannot
stop
grinning
this
whole
time
that
you've
been
presenting,
because
this
is
just
music
to
my
ears.
D
D
This
I
love
that
you
have
all
of
these
key
elements
like
the
the
Bill
of
Rights
and
the
the
the
well
the
audit,
the
Bill
of
Rights,
the
the
child
and
youth
master
plan
Concept
in
there
and
I
know
that
that
you've,
we've
already
been
working
on
logic,
models
in
different
departments
as
as
applicable
and
we're
gonna
be
seeing
some
very
long-term
Investments,
I'm
hoping
and
ultimately,
what
I
would
love
to
see
from.
D
This
is
generational
change
that
we
are
creating
generational
change
for
our
folks
and
providing
opportunities,
one
of
the
things
that
I've
always
envisioned
and
I-
don't
know
how
this
Falls
I
know.
This
is
very
new.
This
I
mean
this
is
very
for
for
the
beginning
of
this
process.
This
is
what
I'm
going
to
talk
about
is:
is
kind
of
at
the
maybe
the
middle
or
tail
end,
but
I'd
love
for
us
to
have
some
kind
of
plan.
D
That
also
includes
how
do
we
acquire
Medi-Cal
reimbursement
so
that
we
can
have
sustainability
within
our
programs
and
that
we
don't
have
to
be
depending
on
people
paying
for
a
service
that
they
absolutely
need,
but
they
can't
afford
so
so
how
does?
How
will
that
work
into
and
I
completely
understand
that
right
now,
the
phase
is
like:
let's
collect
information,
let's
learn
about
the
vision
and
the
desires
and
the
wants
of
our
community,
but
just
thinking
ahead,
how?
How
do
you?
How
do
you
envision
that,
in
being
integrated
into
the
process.
E
Thank
you,
council
member
Renaissance
As.
You
know
having
come
from
first
five
Santa
Clara
County.
We
we
had
ma
as
staff
and
as
and
for
our
funded
agencies,
and
so
I
definitely
think
that
there's
an
opportunity
there
I
think
with
the
services
that
we
are
looking
to
incorporate
through
our
throughout
the
city
and
as
an
organization
providing
referrals
to
Supportive
Services
for
Families
and
young
people,
I
think
there's
an
opportunity
to
be
be
a
ma
building
agency,
whether
it's
us
directly
or
through
funded
agencies.
E
As
you
know,
we
would
have
to
work
pretty
closely
with
the
county
to
right.
Have
them
assist
us
in
that
process,
because
there
is
considerable
training
involved
for
both
the
agency,
as
well
as
for
staff,
and
so
I
definitely
see
that
there's
an
opportunity
for
that,
especially
if
we
continue
to
build
out
our
caste
system
in
partnership
with
the
county.
D
Would
you
be
able
to
reflect
that
somehow
in
the
plan
so
that,
when
the
time
comes
to
integrate
that
also
with
cast
I,
know
that
that's
a
pathway
or
an
opportunity
for
for
the
the
county
to
also
adhere
to
some
more
of
what
is
coming
down
through
the
state
through
Cal
aim
and
this
reorganization
of
how
we
provide
services
to
our
community,
or
at
least
the
county,
provides
services
to
the
community
and
we're
doing
the
same
in
essence
without
being
mandated
by
the
state.
D
We
are
also
reviewing
the
same
Concepts
and
moving
in
the
right
direction:
I
just
hello,
oh
so,
okay,
so
I
just
think
it's
a
really
good
opportunity
for
us
to
begin
to
think
about
how
to
leverage
that,
rather
than
maybe
at
the
end
when
we
we
have
our
youth
and
master
plan,
all
all
done
and
and
ready
to
implement.
And
now
we
have
to
take
a
look
at.
How
do
we
integrate?
D
How
do
we
change
our
funded
or
contracts
so
that
they
can
be
aligned
with
with
Mall
billing
and
with
Cal
aim
right,
so
so
anyways
I'm,
hoping
that
you
can
integrate
that
somehow
into
your
plan?.
E
I
do
want
to
add
that
angel
and
I
had
a
conversation
with
the
county
a
couple
of
weeks
ago
and
and
you're
right.
There's
a
lot
of
potential
State
funding
coming
through
the
county
and
as
a
partner
around
caste.
There's
also
an
opportunity
for
us
to
be
able
to
leverage
those
fundings,
and
the
county
has
made
that
very
clear
that,
as
as
we
continue
to
build,
cast
right,
this
single
system
of
support
that
there
are
opportunities
to
leverage
those
funding
sources
so
through
cast.
D
Yes,
got
it
okay,
well,
that
is
that
is
really
wonderful
and
by
the
way
I
saw
some
of
the
team
members
from
cast
on
Friday
at
this.
D
Almost
Mayfair
25
year
anniversary
celebration,
and
they
were
just
really
excited
and
shared
some
wonderful
news
about
how
the
community
is
responding,
and
so
it
just
was
really
wonderful
to
see
this
all
you
know
coming
into
a
not
it's
not
full
circle
just
yet,
but
just
really
laying
out
this
foundation
for
us
to
continue
to
move
the
work
and
but
it's
not
without
any
work
and
I
know.
D
Both
you
and
Angel
have
been
doing
some
just
intense
conversations
and
collaboration
and
partnership
that
is
going
to
lay
out
a
really
successful
path
for
us
to
make
this
a
reality
for
our
children
and
to
have
this.
Ultimately,
generational
change
and
opportunities
for
for
our
kiddos.
That
is
meant
in
a
very
meaningful
way.
D
I
still
don't
see
any
hands
and
I
think
the
last
thing
that
I
was
going
to
ask
was
about
the
promotoras
and
that
we've
hired
through
I
think
it's
office
of
Economic
Development
because
they
are
part
of
the
recovery,
but
I
think
that
they're
also
integrated
into
the
community
or
at
least
they're
talking
with
folks
in
the
community.
D
How
are
we
going
to
leverage
the
promotoras
or
integrate
them
into
this
information
gathering
phase.
E
Yes,
council
member
I
do
know
that
they
have
a
promoters
involved
with
the
covid-19
commuting
economic
recovery
task
force.
Work
I,
definitely
think
that
there's
opportunities
there,
as
you
know
again
having
come
with
verse
five.
E
We
built
the
promotora
model
within
the
Family,
Resource,
Centers
and
so
I'm
completely
in
agreement
that
that's
a
a
great
way
of
engaging
families
at
the
group
level
within
their
neighborhoods
within
their
communities,
and
so
I
absolutely
see
that
there's
value
and
opportunity
to
integrate
that
within
the
master
plan
and
ultimately,
as
we
Implement
the
the
recommendations
that
come
out
of
the
master
plan,
but
I'll
also
hand
it
over
to
Angel.
So
he
has
any
other
comments
around
that
piece.
K
Oh
I'm,
sorry
here
we
go
I
I,
think
I
think
Laura
answered
that
adequately.
I
do
think
the
promotoro
model
really
lends
itself
that
that
whole
approach
lends
itself
to
this
work.
You
know
we're
taking
a
really
organic
and
granular
approach
to
this
work.
You
know.
Not
only
do
we
want
to
you
know,
build
kind
of
a
a
menu
of
easily
accessible
programs
and
and
options
for
children,
youth
and
their
families.
K
But
what
we
also
want
to
do
is
do
this
in
a
way
where
we're
building
community
and
I
think
the
promotora
model
really
lends
itself
to
that
kind
of
community.
Organizing
Community,
Building,
neighborhood,
building
approach
to
kind
of
tell
a
friend
bring
a
friend,
educate,
a
friend
and
and-
and
it
definitely
applies
here
and
so
I-
see
us
definitely
building
that
approach
into
this
work
as
we
go
forward.
D
That's
wonderful
and
I
I
know
that
you
can't
list
everybody
that
you're
going
to
talk
to,
but
I
certainly
hope
that
we
can
Target
some
of
the
areas
as
you're
moving
through
our
communities
and
asking
them
for
their
feedback
that
we
take
special
notice
of
those
groups
or
those
neighborhoods
that
have
had
in
the
last
two
years.
D
D
Unfortunately,
because
this
these
are
just
hot
spots,
right
that
we
find
throughout
the
city
and
so
I'm,
hoping
that
we
pay
special
attention
to
those
folks
as
well
as
some
of
those
communities
are
already
engaged
with
us,
like
the
family,
friend
neighbor
or
those
folks
participating
in
the
Grail
Family
Services.
You
know
Etc
the
jobs
to
grow
program,
so
so
anyways
I'm,
I
I,
know
that
you
you've
got
a
lot
to
do
and
a
lot
in
front
of
you.
D
But
let
us
know
how
we
can
help
how
we
can
help
facilitate
some
of
those
connections.
I'm
happy
to
help
I'm
sure
my
my
colleagues
I
don't
want
to
speak
for
them,
but
we
we
have
these
relationships
with
our
folks
and
we
want
to
make
sure
that
their
voices
are
also
heard
and
taken
into
account
into
while
you're
collecting
this
wonderful
information,
councilmember
Carrasco.
B
Oh
yeah
I
wasn't
sure
if,
if
my
connection
was
there,
thank
you
so
much
I
wanted
to
thank
Angel
Laura,
the
entire
team,
because
this
is
an
unbelievable
document,
truly
an
unbelievable
document
and-
and
some
of
us
have
a
vision
of
where
we
want
the
city
to
go,
especially
as
it
impacts
our
residents,
but
the
work
that
you're
doing
is
truly
for
me
as
I
see
it
relating
to
our
kiddos.
It's
phenomenal
work.
B
The
fact
that
you're
able
to
bring
about
all
these
different
Partnerships
and
leverage
resources
and
institutional
knowledge
I
think
we'll
we'll
see
it
play
out
in
the
way
that
we
impact
children's
lives.
I
I
said
it
I
think
it
was
last
week's
last
week's
council
meeting
regarding
the
State
of
Affairs
of
our
kids
and
their
future.
B
My
one
of
my
biggest
concerns
is
whether
or
not
our
kids
are
going
to
be
able
to
stay
here
and
thrive
in
the
city
where
they
were
born,
where
they
were
raised
in
the
city
that
they
love
and
for
me
one
of
the
marked
criteria
or
one
of
the
end
products
of
any
sort
of
program
is
truly.
How
does
it?
How
does
it
relate
to
or
how
does
it
change
or
how
does
it
impact
concretely
someone's
life
and
because
our
children,
what
they
want,
is
they
want
upward
Mobility?
B
They
want
to
be
able
to
buy
a
house
and
keep
talking
about
inter
keep
talking
about
generational
wealth
and
and
and
how
are
we
going
to
help
and
support
our
students
and
when
I've
heard
also
the
statistics
in
terms
of
the
the
alarming
stats
of
how
many
kiddos
graduate
from
our
Eastside
unit
high
schools
and
end
up
working
in
minimum,
paying
jobs,
jobs,
I,
I,
think
it's,
it's
unacceptable.
We're
selling
them
a
dream
that
they
can't
achieve
that
they
can't
attain
that.
B
They
can't
seem
to
strive
any
closer
to
you
if
you
go
to
school.
This
is
what
will
happen
if
you
get
through
it,
you'll
be
able
to
take
care
of
your
family
minimum
paying
jobs
for
any
one
of
our
kiddos
is
unsustainable
in
terms
of
taking
care
of
their
families.
B
So
one
of
the
questions
that
I
have
is-
and
we
talked
about
it
last
week
during
the
children's
Bill
of
Rights,
do
we
have
some
place
where
we're
going
to
be
capturing
that
information,
our
hospitals
going
on
to
four-year
institutions
and
then
do
they
have
access
to
the
kind
of
quality
internships
that
connect
them
to
individuals
who
are
going
to
support
them
through
their
career?
B
Do
we
have
somewhere
where
we're
capturing
what
their
income
levels
were
and
where
they're
growing
into
that's
one
question
and
then
the
second
question
that
I
have
is
last
year
when
I
I
submitted
the
documents
on
for
a
Youth
Development
Office,
the
mayor
came
back
with
funding
for
a
consultant
instead,
which
is
a
great,
a
great
start,
because
we're
seeing
the
the
benefits
of
it,
but
is
it
of
your
opinion?
B
E
Council
member
Carrasco,
thank
you
for
your
question.
I
can
respond
to
the
first
question
around
the
college
to
Career.
Actually,
yesterday
in
our
community
advisory
meeting,
we
had
a
a
quite
of
a
robust
conversation
that
we
are
definitely
going
to
explore
and
discuss
further.
E
As
you
may
have
seen
in
our
community
advisory
list.
We
have
Evergreen
Valley,
College
San,
Jose,
City,
College,
San,
Jose
State,
and
you
see
Santa
Cruz
participating
in
our
community
advisory
as
well
as
Eastside
Union
High
School
Districts
as
a
unified,
Alum
Rock
School
District,
Franklin
McKinley.
E
They
often
come
to
a
two-year
Community
College,
but
then
have
to
drop
out
for
for
various
reasons,
but
a
lot
of
it
seems
to
stem
from
just
not
having
the
ability
to
pay
their
tuition
or
to
focus
on
on
education
when
they're
struggling
with
their
basic
needs,
and
so
we
are
going
to
be
talking
further
with
this
group
of
educational
leaders.
K
Yeah,
it
councilmember
and
just
a
little
bit
more
on
the
first
part
of
that
question.
You
know
we
really
want
to
tackle
the
issue
of
of
access
to
economic
Prosperity
head-on
in
this
right,
I
mean
if,
if
we're
talking
about
dismantling
poverty
cycles
and
all
and
and
creating
opportunity
Pathways,
then
we
have
to
address
the
issue
of
how
do
we
help
facilitate
opportunity
or
access
to
wealth?
K
Right
we've
learned
from
our
historical
past
that
regressive
policies
such
as
redlining
can
either
interrupt,
or
in
most
cases
you
know,
prevent
the
accumulation
of
wealth
and
and
and
and
that
has
had
a
very
adverse
impact
on
many
of
our
neighborhoods
here
in
in
our
own
city
right
and
although
we
can't
go
back
and
turn
back
the
clock
and
change
that,
specifically,
what
we
can
do
is
learn
from
those
you
know
bad
practices
and
and
create
new
opportunity
Pathways
for
our
young
people,
and
that's
really
the
intent
and
really
the
spirit
behind
this
plan
is
to
create
those
Pathways
so
that
you
know
these
cycles
of
poverty
can
truly
be
dismantled
and
replaced
with
with
access
to
our
opportunity
and
prosperity.
K
Having
said
that,
you
know
seguing
to
the
next
part
of
your
question.
You
know.
Last
week
there
there
was
a
there
was
a
a
blue
memo
by
charadennis
and
and
and
and
and
and
and
her
and
other
colleagues,
and
we
are
looking
at
the
structure
of
this
work
going
forward,
and
so
we
will
be
developing
an
MBA
that
will
take
a
look
at
different
structures
that
would
include
possible
in
office
of
or
some
other
type
of
structure.
K
What
we're
especially
looking
at
is
how
do
we
keep
this
work,
going
right,
the
current
resources
that
we
received
short
term
and
again
you
know
thank
you
for
the
for
the
budget
proposal
you
put
forward
about
two
years
ago
was
gave
us
a
two-year
end,
dated
resources
to
basically
start
and
develop
and
Advance.
K
This
work
that
that's
endated
through
June
of
2023,
so
I
think
this
MBA
will
be
a
perfect
opportunity
for
us
to
kind
of
really
assess
and
evaluate
what
the
right
structure,
what
the
right
Staffing
is
and
whether
or
not
we
should
continue
this
work.
But
just
judging
by
the
momentum
in
the
community,
judging
by
the
Leaning
forward
and
leaning
in
of
all
our
many
partners,
I
think
there's
clear
indication
that
we're
on
to
something
here
that
really
needs
to
continue
foreign.
B
That's
it
for
me,
but
I
just
want
to
thank
the
team
again.
I
want
to
thank
really
the
leadership
of
Laura
Angel.
The
conversations
that
we've
engaged
in
even
when
we
just
have
one-on-ones
having
promising
and
and
and
I
know
that
there's
a
lot
of
work
ahead.
I,
I,
I'm,
sorry
that
I
won't
see
it
to
fruition
because
I'll
be
done
in
December,
but
I'm
I'm,
so
encouraged
by
the
fact
that
that
this
beginning
and
and
so
far
the
work-
that's
been
done.
It's
it's!
B
It's
it's
exciting,
I!
Think
it's
exciting
and
I
think
also
it
shares
has
a
great
model
for
other
jurisdictions
to
follow
the
partnership,
the
private
public
partnership,
the
the
city,
support
and
really
looking
at
and
addressing
those
systemic
issues
that
impact
our
families
that
keep
our
families.
They
keep
our
families
in
poverty.
They
keep
them
in
a
vicious
cycle
and
once
you're
in
that
cycle,
good
luck
trying
to
break
out
of
it!
It's
difficult!
B
If
you
don't
have
someone
who's
there
meeting
you
through
through
the
the
Labyrinth,
that
is
life,
but
good
luck
breaking
the
cycle
when
there
are
all
these
odds
that
are
stacked
against
you.
It's
not
an
impossibility
and
in
some
folks
have
done
it
beautifully,
but
but
I'd
rather
it
be
the
norm
versus
the
exception
and
and
you're
you're,
setting
a
course
for
breaking
the
cycle
of
poverty
to
be
the
norm
versus
the
exception,
so
I.
Thank
you
for
that
and
I
I.
Truly.
B
Thank
you
for
providing
these
these
promises
and
these
possibilities
for
our
kids.
D
Wonderful
council,
member
Esparza.
G
Thanks
I'll
be
quick
first
off
I
wanted
to
thank
you,
chair
and
us
for
your
leadership
on
this.
G
You
know
we
we
have
long
sought
Equity
for
our
city
and
Equity
is
in
so
many
things
and
how
the
city's
literally
built
out,
but
it's
really
about
providing
a
better
future
for
our
children
and
our
families,
and
and
and
that's
where
this
systemic
change
is
huge
and
and
I
I
wanted
to
thank
all
the
city,
folks
and
all
the
non-profit
folks
for
this
work
and
and
really
also
highlight
how
we
knew
this
was
critical
before
the
pandemic.
G
But
the
pandemic
really
really
highlighted
it
laid
Stark
on
how
literally
life-saving
this
work
is
for
our
families
and
children,
and
so
so
anyway.
I
just
I
wanted
to
say
that
and
I
I
wanted
to
thank
the
team
and
for
including
the
partners.
I
did
see
all
the
the
K
through
12,
as
well
as
the
higher
educational
Partners
and
the
opportunity.
I
know
that
the
San
Jose
City
Evergreen
is
embarking
on
some
Equity
work
and
wanting
to
go
out
into
neighborhoods.
G
G
One
of
the
things
that
that
I
have
heard
consistently.
You
know
even
during
the
pandemic,
but
it
is,
as
things
have
opened
up
as
this
school
year
started,
I've
been
hearing,
the
kids
are
not
all
right.
The
kids
are
not
okay,
some
really
alarming
rates,
and
so
my
question
is,
as
we
move
forward
on
this
work.
G
How
are
we
developing
a
sort
of
triage
so
that
we
are
able
to
to
create
these
pipelines
to
build
out
this
system
but
really
put
in
some
level
of
triage
so
that
we
can
address
some
really
crisis
issues
around
mental
health
and
and
stability
for
Children
and
Families?
Right
now,
foreign.
E
Thank
you
for
your
question.
That's
exactly
what
we
are
working
on
through
casts
across
the
agency.
Services
team
that
is
being
led
by
the
county
is
one
approach.
There
are
different
system
leaders
in
that
partnership,
and
so
the
goal
is
for
us
to
be
doing
to
be
able
to
do
exactly
that.
E
The
other
way
that
we're
exploring
this
is
also
connecting
with
schooling,
Services
the
wellness
centers
through
the
County
Office
of
Education,
as
well
as
the
health
and
hospital
system.
They're
also
part
of
our
advisory
members
membership,
and
we
also
have
had
some
preliminary
conversations
about.
How
do
we
strengthen
those
Partnerships?
E
They
have
access
to
supports
and
resources
funding
that
can
also
again
provide
those
supports
to
staff
when
they
need
it
to
to
assist
families
and
then
also
to
the
community
members
that
they
serve,
whether
it's
through
project
hope
or
the
mayor's
gang
task
force
or
the
Youth
Intervention
services.
So
those
are
the
pieces
of
work
that
we're
trying
to
lay
out
in
parallel
process
of
developing
the
children.
New
Services
master
plan.
G
Thank
you
and
and
I.
You
know,
I
love
that
no
wrong
door
approach.
I
think
it's
definitely
needed,
and
it
has
been
really
interesting
to
see
schooling
Services,
you
know
which
I
think
we've
all
been
working
on
that
for
many
years,
but
again
the
pandemic
accelerated
that
right
and
provided
a
lot
of
funding.
G
In
addition
to
the
other
partner
funding
towards
that
I
I,
one
of
the
things
I'll
leave
on
a
positive
note,
which
is
one
of
the
things
I've
been
heartened
by
as
I've
gone
out
to
the
schools,
is:
if
you
provide
it,
they
will
come,
they
will
take
advantage
of
every
single
opportunity
every
single
after
school
program,
every
single
you
know,
health
benefit.
G
Every
people
are
people
want
it,
they
need
it,
they
want
it
and
that's
that's
a
big
deal
because
you
know,
as
we
provide
it
on
our
end
and
by
that
I
mean
the
community.
All
of
us
together.
G
I
do
see
that
you
know
after
school
programs
are
full
right,
all
the
extra
server
all
the
services
that
we
offer
the
mental
health
like.
We
can't
keep
up
with
that.
G
Excuse
me,
but
I
do
think.
You
know:
that's
that's
really
amazing
that
people
will
they
will
do
it
and
we
just
have
to
connect
them
to
it.
So
I'm
heartened
by
that
and
heartened
by
that,
it's
not
sort
of
a
cold
handshake
that
we're
doing
that
we're
actually
connecting
them
to
Services
into
placements.
So
anyway,
I
just
wanted
to
say.
Thank
you.
I
think
this
is
one
of
the
most
critical
things
that
we
can
do
as
a
city.
Thank
you
and
I'll
move
to
accept
the
report.
D
Awesome
and
council
member
Carrasco
that
hand
that's
phrase
that's
from
before
I'm
gonna
guess.
D
Love
it
because
this
is
such
an
exciting
item,
it's
so
so
exciting.
This
is.
This
is
as
as
policy
makers,
I
think
for
the
folks
who
we've
been
working
on
around
this
is
when
policy
meets
a
wonderful
and
amazing
public
administration
right,
and
this
is
how
it
should
be.
D
I
think
that
that
if
people
and
agencies
are
leaning
in
Angel
and
Laura,
it's
it's
really
because
you've
established
such
a
really
wonderful
reputation
in
your
in
your
field
and
and
and
they're
leaning
in
because
this
is
something
that
they
probably
have
been
thinking
about
themselves
and
just
are
not
able
to
do,
and
so
I
I
love,
I
love.
This
work
I'm
really
excited
about
it,
I'm
so
proud
of,
of
what
you
are
all
doing
out
there
on
behalf
of
our
children
and
our
youth
and
I.
D
Just
I
can't
wait
to
see
this
Continuum
of
services.
That's
really
ultimately
going
to
make
changes
real
critical
changes
in
the
lives
of
over
youth,
so.
E
Thank
you,
council,
member
I
I
want
to
just
say
a
heartfelt
thank
you
to
NSC
for
all
the
council
members
for
your
continued
leadership
and
support
and
guidance
as
we
develop
the
children,
youth
services,
master
plan.
D
D
Wonderful,
so
this
takes
us
to
our
last
and
third
item,
and
this
is
for
those
folks
who
are
following
us
from
home
or
at
home.
This
is
the
beautify.
This
is
D3
and
this
is
beautify.
San,
Jose
neighborhood
blight
reduction
status
report.
Please
welcome
and
when
you,
whenever
you're
ready,
please
begin
your
presentation.
J
Thank
you,
council,
member
Arenas.
This
is
Andrea
Flora
Shelton
deputy
director
with
prns
and
I
am
pleased
to
be
here
with
Olympia
Williams,
the
beautify,
SJ
division
manager
and
in
the
audience
we
have
our
neighborhood
blight
reduction.
Team
leaders,
Ed
Ramirez
and
Sochi
Montes
I
want
to
start
with
reminding
you
all
that
last
fiscal
year,
prns
added
a
new
division
which
encompasses
beautify
SJ
project,
hope
and
youth
services,
Youth
Intervention
Services
into
the
community
services
division.
J
Today's
report
will
primarily
and
will
only
be
about
the
neighborhood
blight
reduction
side
of
the
beautify
SJ
house,
so
we
will
be
focusing
on
graffiti
removal,
litter
removal
and
our
illegal
dumping.
The
encampment
management
portion
and
anything
related
to
homeless
encampments
will
be
covered
in
November
at
the
November
29th
council
meeting.
So
just
a
reminder.
Today's
beautify
SJ
annual
report
is
about
the
neighborhood
blight
reduction
services
and
before
I
turn
it
over
to
Olympia.
J
To
talk
about
the
accomplishment
of
those
programs
and
Services
I
did
want
to
give
an
update
about
the
current
status
of
the
beautify
SJ
grants
we're
in
the
middle
of
we're
towards
the
end
of
cycle
four
and
due
to
an
influx
of
American
Rescue
plan
dollar
cycle.
Four
is
larger
than
cycle
three
and
will
be
larger
than
cycle
five,
but
that
352
thousand
dollars
has
been
awarded
to
84
neighborhood
groups
and
accounted
for
429
activities.
J
So
we're
very
happy
that
that
influx
of
ARP
dollars
has
allowed
us
to
do
more
beautify,
SJ
grants
right
now
cycle
five
is
open
and
we
encourage
neighborhood
groups
to
apply
before
the
deadline
of
November
3rd
cycle
five,
which
is
a
calendar
year
cycle
for
2023.
There
will
be
a
hundred
and
eighty
nine
thousand
dollars
available
for
that
cycle.
So
just
a
little
update
on
grants
now,
I'll
turn
it
over
to
Olympia
Williams.
L
Afternoon,
council
members,
I'm
Olympia
Williams,
beautify,
SJ
division
manager,
the
neighborhood
flight
reduction
programs
focus
on
working
with
residents,
businesses,
volunteers
and
neighborhoods
to
address
flight
issues.
There
are
several
accomplishments
that
I
would
like
to
share
with
you
from
the
last
fiscal
year.
First,
the
graffiti
removal
program
responded
to
27
000
service
requests,
leading
to
the
abatement
of
over
2.5
million
square
feet
of
graffiti
within
the
city's
jurisdiction.
L
Second,
four
thousand
volunteers
donated
over
fifteen
thousand
service
hours.
These
hours
are
invaluable
to
the
program.
As
many
of
you
know,
a
volunteer
hour
in
California
is
valued
at
29.95
per
hour.
Third
staff
was
finally
able
to
return
to
school
campuses
and
have
engaged
with
over
2200
students
on
the
impacts
of
that
trash
has
to
our
environment.
L
Our
beautify
SJ
programs
collected
9.2
million
pounds
of
trash
or
4595
tons
from
our
neighborhoods
encampments
streets
sidewalks
and
along
our
waterways.
4.5
million
pounds
of
this
debris
was
illegally
dumped
materials.
The
pictures
on
the
slide
illustrates
the
type
of
dump
sites.
The
team
often
comes
across
the
neighborhood
dumpster
day
program,
increased
Services
by
300
percent
since
2019
collecting
about
1.8
million
pounds
of
trash
last
year
and
as
always,
I
like
to
remind
residents
about
our
free
junk
pickup
program,
it's
unlimited
now
and
to
participate
in
neighborhood
dumpster
days
and
use
our
public
litter
cans.
L
Well,
the
beautiful,
while
beautify,
SJ
and
other
City
departments
work
to
provide
Direct
Services
to
address
blight
within
the
city's
jurisdiction.
We
know
that
there
is
often
times
litter,
trash
and
graffiti
located
in
San
Jose,
but
not
within
the
city's
jurisdiction.
Beautify
SJ
works
collaboratively
with
our
interagency
partners
to
address
these
types
of
issues
located
on
their
property.
Last
fiscal
year
an
interagency
team
was
added
to
beautify
SJ,
which
allows
for
close
coordination
and
collaboration
with
key
Partners
to
respond
to
and
proactively
address
blight.
L
Some
of
the
work
that
we
do
with
our
partners
includes
meeting
with
Caltrans
every
two
weeks
to
address
high
priority
areas
that
need
cleanup,
coordinating,
cleanup
efforts
with
Union
Pacific
Railroad
to
address
trash
graffiti
and
encampment
on
their
property,
providing
grants
to
three
of
our
Creek
Partners,
who
really
coordinate,
really
work
to
coordinate
volunteers,
volunteer
events
to
address
trash
and
debris
located
near
our
waterways
and
city
funding
for
two
of

San,

They

and
training
to
individuals.
L
Well,
the
new
beautify
SG
program
structure
has
been
more
efficient
in
addressing
blight.
The
program
has
an
opportunity
to
increase
in
Effectiveness
by
utilizing
a
comprehensive
three
ease
approach
that
includes
education
eradication
and
enforcement.
This
best
practice
model
is
used
by
several
large
cities
within
the
state
of
California
and
throughout
the
nation
to
combat
blight
and
improve
neighborhood,
livability
and
quality
of
life.
Some
of
the
cities
and
counties
that
use
this
approach
are
located
on
the
slide.
L
The
three
E's
model
in
the
three
E's
model,
the
education
component,
helps
to
reduce
flight
by
educating
residents
and
how
to
properly
dispose
of
unwanted
items
and
would
therefore
reduce
the
need
for
increased
eradication
efforts.
The
enforcement
component
really
serves
to
also
help
reduce
the
need
for
eradication
by
holding
those
that
do
illegal
dumping
or
graffiti
accountable
for
their
actions.
This
model
uses
a
more
balanced
approach
to
delivering
bright
red
action
and
beautification
services.
Currently,
99.1
percent
of
all
budgeted
funds
from
beautify
SJ
are
directed
towards
eradication.
L
Currently,
only
one
percent
of
the
beautify
SJ
budget
is
dedicated
towards
education
and
Outreach
in
the
current
fiscal
year.
The
program
has
some
one-time
funding
in
the
amount
of
two
hundred
thousand
dollars
to
support
a
multilingual,
Outreach
and
education
campaign.
We
will
use
these
funds
to
both
educate
residents
on
how
to
access
services
and
what
they
can
do
to
help
support
flight
reduction
efforts.
L
The
plan
will
also
be
balanced,
ensuring
that
we
use
both
high-tech
think
about
digital
media
and
ads
and
high
touch,
including
printed
materials,
resource
fairs
and
school
presentations
to
engage
with
residents
throughout
the
city
to
reduce
illegal
dumping
and
the
impacts
of
graffiti.
We
will
need
ongoing
funding
to
support
the
education
efforts.
Beautify
SJ
will
be
submitting
a
budget
proposal
to
continue
these
efforts
in
the
next
fiscal
year
in
terms
of
eradication,
99
of
the
budget
budget
is
dedicated
here.
L
Our
eradication
only
strategy
will
only
our
eradication
only
model
will
not
achieve
the
program
outcome
of
a
cleaner
City.
There
are
still
challenges
that
we
have,
even
though
we're
putting
99
of
our
budget
here,
there's
graffiti
on
there's
more
graffiti
on
private
property,
including
businesses
and
residential
property,
and
there's
been
increased
dumping
in
areas
throughout
the
city,
especially
in
areas
that
were
once
immune
from
this.
L
In
terms
of
enforcement,
beautify
SJ
has
no
dedicated
resources
for
enforcement
assigned
to
the
program.
However,
the
city
overall
does
have
limited
resources
and
code
and
sjpd
to
support
beautify
SJ,
for
example,
the
illegal
dumping
program.
We
have
five
cameras
that
we
use
to
record
illegal
dumpers
and
then
coordinate
with
code
to
address
that,
as
always,
I
like
to
remind
people
to
use
the
report.
Dumper's
email
address
that
you
see
on
the
slide
to
send
in
any
photos
or
video
of
people
illegally
dumping
code
enforcement
does
issue
citations
for
illegal
dumping.
L
Since
2016,
the
city
has
received
over
a
hundred
and
nineteen
thousand
dollars
in
funds
for
citations
issued
foreign.
So
what
can
we
do
in
San
Jose
to
begin
the
process
to
implement
the
three
E's
approach?
Moving
forward
beautify
SJ
will
pilot
a
strategy
better
blocks
with
beautify
SJ
to
test
the
three
E's
approach
in
a
neighborhood
impacted
by
blight.
We
will
then
use
the
data
collected
to
inform
how
we
can
use
a
phased
approach
to
implement
the
3E
city-wide
and
also
inform
our
long-term
outcome
measures
for
the
program.
L
G
Thank
you,
so
I'll
I'll,
just
jump
in
so
I
had
some
questions
on
the
education
and
Outreach.
Do
we
have
areas
of
focus?
Are
we
focusing
on
overcrowded
areas,
dance
apartment
buildings
to
do
that
and
then
how
are
we
translating
blight?
I
know?
That's
been
a.
It's
been
a
big
issue
on
how
to
talk
about
blight
in
different
languages.
L
Definitely
so
I'll
start
with
the
second
question
first,
so
when
we
do
all
of
our
Outreach
and
education
materials,
we
don't
use
blight,
we
actually
describe
what
the
problem
is.
We'd
say
graffiti,
it's
a
you
know.
If
it's
an
inoperable
car,
we
won't
use
that
we'll
say
a
car
that
doesn't
run
if
it's
trash
we
usually
say
trash
should
not
debris.
So
we
can
make
the
information
as
accessible
as
possible
and
then
to
your
first
question.
L
G
Thank
you
and
then
so
you,
you
went
right
into
it.
So
one
of
the
things
that
we've
seen
out
in
the
community,
particularly
and
very
dense
overcrowded
areas,
is
sort
of
an
issue
with
big
item
pickups
right.
G
So
if
somebody,
if,
if
you
have
the
ability,
if
a
resident
has
the
ability
and
the
space
to
be
able
to
put
out
a
couch
or
a
mattress
or
equipment,
I
mean
there's
all
sorts
of
crazy
stuff,
I've
seen
on
the
street
and
put
something
out
and
then
call
for
the
call
ESD
for
a
pickup
they're
told
it
could
be
three
weeks,
but
if
they
put
it
out
in
the
street,
it
gets
picked
up.
Much
quicker.
How?
How
are
we
coordinating
between
ESD
for
those
big
item,
pickups.
J
Council,
member
Esparza-
this
is
Andrea.
Thank
you.
So,
in
working
with
ESD,
the
approach
for
free
junk
pickup
is
that
it
should
be
picked
up
at
your
next
garbage
day
or
at
some
time
within
the
week
when
it
comes
to
our
illegal
dumping
and
something
reported
within
311.
Our
time
frame
is
within
five
business
states,
so
we
are
what
I
see
and
what
I'm
hoping
that
we're
not
doing
is
incentivizing
illegal
dumping
right.
That's.
J
We
don't
want
to
incentivize
that
illegal
dumping
will
come
faster
than
the
free
junk
pickup
program,
so
we're
working
with
ESD
to
ensure
that
it's
tied
to
their
regular
garbage
day
and
that
it
is
as
easy
to
to
reach
out
to
and
that
it's
as
responsive
as
possible.
G
Okay-
and
you
know,
and
I
see
it
most
in
again
those
dense
areas
where
people
don't
have
the
ability
to
or
the
space
to
put
something
out
and
let
it
sit
and
so
yeah
I
hope
we
can
figure
that
out,
because
otherwise
we
will
incentivize
people
because
they
really
don't
have
an
alternative
and
in
not
every
neighborhood
or
you
know,
but
in
many
places
where
I
see
it
over
and
over
again,
you
know:
I
walk
around.
We
talk
to
folks
and
it's
like
yeah
I
can
see.
I
can
see.
G
Their
point
of
view
is:
how
are
they
going
to
handle
that
when
they're
moving
out
or
something
like
that
and-
and
so
the
second
question
that
I
had
was
because
I'm
just
going
working
through
the
report,
it
was
anti-litter
that
we've
gotten
seen
an
increase
in
folks
going
out.
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you
actually
thank
you
to
the
entire
team.
I
know
District
Seven.
G
We
make
use
of
it
of
every
aspect
of
of
your
work
and
and
I
just
want
to
thank
the
entire
team
but
anti-litter
the
folks
have
come
out.
They've
done
a
tremendous
amount
of
Outreach
and
have
they've
made
it
very
easy
for
Community
folks
to
step
in
and
do
that
and
as
we've
opened
up
since
the
pandemic,
I've
been
kind
of
surprised
at
seeing
a
lot
of
community
groups
come
forward
and
say:
yeah
I
really
really
want
to
do
a
litter,
pickup
and
we're
happy
to
accommodate
them.
G
I
also
wanted
to
thank
the
dumpster
day
team
in
District
Seven
we've.
In
the
past
couple
years,
we've
collected
over
a
million
pounds
since
the
you
know.
In
the
past
couple
years,
I
have
noticed
that
again
that
it's
most
needed
in
overcrowded
areas
in
my
office
we've
had
to
kind
of
resize
so
that
we
don't
have
enormous
bins
in
the
and
the
dumpster
day
takes
over
a
whole
neighborhood,
so
we've
actually
divided
neighborhoods
and,
and
it
is
in
those
over
same
thing
right.
G
It's
those
overcrowded
neighborhoods
where
we
let
people
know
they
can
come
out,
and
they
don't
really
have
alternative
means
to
do
that.
G
G
In
reducing
graffiti,
we
had
had
a
a
couple
of
murals
in
District
Seven
lined
up
in
high
graffiti
areas
to
do
that
and
that
got
pushed
back.
Can
can
you
talk
about
why
that
got
pushed
back
yes
and
how
we
can
how
we
can
support
how
we
can
Shore
that
up.
L
Yes,
so
we
work
with
the
office
of
cultural
Affairs
on
that,
but
during
the
pandemic
we
did
have
a
delay
in
installing
the
murals.
What
we
found
that
this
time
we're
working
closely
with
Michael
Ogilvy
and
his
team
and
we've
started
to
go
out,
assess
the
sites.
They've
started
to
secure
artists
and
go
through
that
process,
and
the
graffiti
team
has
started
to
get
the
sites
where
the
murals
will
go
prepped
and
prepared
so
that
we
can
move
forward
with
the
next
step.
L
What
I
will
do
is
connect
the
two
with
him
with
your
staff
so
that
he
can
give
an
update
specifically
on
District
Seven.
G
Yeah
and
I
know
that
some
of
the
items
that
we
buy
for
the
Year
have
a
shelf
life
right,
so
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
Shoring
up
the
needs
so
that
we
don't
have.
You
know
folks,
folks
that
maybe
don't
deal
with
graffiti
as
much
as
others
graffiti.
Can
you
know
eradicating
graffiti
can
be
a
life-saving
effort
right.
You
can
see
when
certain
Hot
Spot
areas,
things
are
tagging
in
a
way
that
can
be
a
precursor
to
violence,
and
so
it's
not
it's
not
just
that.
It's
an
eyesore
it's!
G
Lastly,
I
lost
my
train
of
thought.
Well
with
that
I'll
go
ahead
and
move
to
accept
the
report
and
cross-reference
it
to
I.
Think
it's
November
15th,
yes,
November
15th.
Second,.
F
D
F
Hi
Claire
Beekman
here,
thanks
for
the
meeting
today,
it
was
interesting
and
informative.
I
hope
that
I
can
my
Zoom
link
it
jammed
out
on
me
on
the
last
item.
If
it's
okay
can
I
speak
for
one
minute
or
less
I
can
take
30
seconds
just
to
quickly
go
over
just
to
thank
you
for
the
previous
item
and
that
the
concepts
of
you
know
a
blight
or
it's
it's
a
balance
that
I
hope
we're
practicing.
F
You
know
good
human
rights
practices
and
want
to
offer
a
human
element
to
the
process.
You
had
an
AI
report
about
a
month
ago
on
the
subject,
the
council,
a
committee
meeting
about
you,
know
the
future
of
homeless
issues
and
it
needs
an
element
of
a
Humanity
to
it
that
we
have
to
practice
our
human
good
selves
in
this
work.
So
good
luck
with
that.
Good
luck
that
you
have
five
cameras
in
in
the
area
for
garbage
issues
and
that
those
cameras
can
practice
open
accountability
practices.
F
Those
cameras
have
been
an
issue
for
a
long
time.
In
San,
Jose
they've
been
a
little
bit
of
a
bugaroo
in
how
to
deal
with
open
public
policy
practices.
Good
luck,
how
those
cameras
are
working
and,
to
finally
conclude
my
public
comment
today:
good
luck,
how
we
can
address
encampment
issues
in
terms
of
city-sponsored
encampments,
hopefully
the
blight
Department,
the
beautiful
department
will
want
to
look
into
how
to
adjust
that
better
and
I
think
that's
a
subject.
F
I
hope
we
can
be
talking
about
more
in
San
Jose
now
and
in
the
coming
months,
and
how
nonprofits
can
help
in
the
city-sponsor
process
of
a
future
encampment
process.
That
I
think
could
be
helpful
for
all
of
us.
Thanks
a
lot
for
your
patience,
allowing
me
to
speak
at
this
time
of
public
comment
time
on
the
subject.
A
Yes,
I
just
want
to
comment
on
Miss
Carrasco,
leaving
at
the
end
of
the
year,
I
really
appreciated.
Listening
to
everything,
you've
been
saying
over
the
last
couple
years.
During
and
after
covet,
you
are
an
amazing
person.
A
You
have
a
pulse
on
your
community
and
it's
a
real
shame
that
you're
leaving
and
also
to
Mr
Beekman,
who
represented
just
the
people
in
the
community
that
have
disabilities,
even
though
you
know
he
spoke
at
every
single
council
meeting
and
I
mean
he
just
went
on
and
on
and
on
and
I
I
appreciate
him
also,
and
he
is
also
I
heard,
leaving
to
San
Diego.
So
thank
you
so
very
much
for
both
of
your
comments
and
participating
in
everything
in
your
neighborhoods
I
appreciate
it
back
to
the
committee.
D
I
think
I
pushed
it
too
many
times
that
I
kept
muting
myself.
So
thank
you
all
for
taking
the
time
to
be
with
us
today
and
thank
you
to
all
of
our
presenters
for
for
such
wonderful
presentations
and
just
wonderful
work
behind
those
presentations
I'm
going
to
join
this
meeting
and
good
luck.
The
rest
of
your
day
and
we'll
see
you
next
month,
bye.
Everyone.
