We're
going
to

into
a
review
of
the

the

B1.
It's
City

road

G
H
C
Yes,
thank
you
all
right,
so
we're
moving
right
along.
We
have
nothing
under
consent
calendar,
so
we're
going

move
to
items
d,
one
through
six
and
the
reason
I
outline.
That
is
because
these
are
very
it's
going

be
a
long
meeting,
so
I'm
going

being
succinct

agreeing
to
limit
your
comments
to
five
minutes.
I'm
talking

Problem,
thank

Public

and
with

Animal
Services
Cascade
card
I
want
to
thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
present
today.
I
It's
needless
to
say,
it's
been
a
very
challenging
year
for
the
animal
services
organization
and
we
had
a
significant
turnover
in
Staffing
at
the
beginning
of
the
year,
and
we
were
spending
most
of
this
year
and
still
are
on
catching
up,
and
we
want
to
just
have
a
sincere
thank
you
to
Mayor
and
city
council
for
supporting
us
in
the
budget
process
with
additional
ads.
I
The
sincere
thank
you
to
our
staff,
who
have
had
a
probably
the
most
challenging
year
of
their
professional
lives
and
a
sincere
thank
you
to
our
rescue
partners
and
volunteers,
who
have
also
had
an
extremely
challenging
Year
and
have
really
stepped
up
for
us
and
with
we
have
the
structure
rebuilt
for
Animal
Services.
J
Hi
good
afternoon,
council
members,
Jay,
Trotter,
deputy
director
and
with
me
today
is
kiss
guy
card
division,
manager
and
I
believe
on
Zoom.
We
have
Dr
Elizabeth
Cather,
who
is
our
medical
director
and
also
Mallory
Kinsman
who's,
our
shelter
supervisor
before
I
get
started.
J
I
I'm,
you
know,
echoing
with
Matt
stated
earlier,
is
that
we
definitely
thank
the
support
of
city
council,
our
staff,
our
hard-working
staff
and
volunteers,
our
rescue
partners
and
our
shelter
Partners
without
all
of
the
the
entirety
of
that
group,
has
really
helped
us
get
through
a
lot
of
our
challenges.
There
are
still
some
areas
of
improvement
that
we
need
to
to
to
complete,
but
we're
definitely
progressing
towards
where
we
want
to
be,
and
with
that
we'll
get
started
with
our
annual
report.
J
So
the
San
Jose
Animal
Care
Center,
is
located
on
2750
Minor
Road.
Some
of
the
services
that
we
provide
are
Field
Services
adoptions
returning
loss,
pets,
euthanasia
rescue
Outreach,
Medical,
Care,
public
spay,
neuter
clinic,
which
we'll
discuss
a
little
bit
on
the
medical
side
later
on
on
the
future
of
that
program.
Licensing
permits
our
division
also
provides
services
to
the
cities
of
Milpitas,
Cupertino
Saratoga
and
the
town
of
Los
Gatos.
We
are
San
Jose,
Animal,
Care
and
services.
J
So
let
me
start
with
our
field
operations,
and
so
with
our
field
unit,
we.
K
J
It's
you
know:
I
started
my
career
17
years
in
our
field
unit,
so
it
is
often
times
that
you're
you're,
not
gonna,
know
what
you're
gonna
experience
out
there
in
the
field,
and
so
they
do
respond
to
calls
for
service
in
San,
Jose,
Milpitas,
copartino,
Saratoga
and
town
of
Los
Gatos.
Some
of
the
calls
that
they'll
respond
to
is
aggressive
animals
injured
and
injured,
or
sick
straight
domestic
animals
dead,
animal
pick
up
noise
complaints,
I
know
anything.
J
Animal
related,
our
team
will
typically
get
involved
and
in
the
last
piece
is
crimes
against
animals,
which
our
team
will
investigate
those,
whether
working
with
local
law
enforcement
and
filing
those
complaints
with
the
District
Attorney's
office.
J
J
Apologies
for
having
some
technical,
okay
so,
for
our
field
unit,
responds
to
three
different
priorities:
I'll
start
with
the
priority
one
which
is
typically
emergencies,
and
so
that
would
be
an
injured
animal
or
it
could
be
a
public
safety
issue,
and
so
they
responded
to
3071
calls
which
represents
15
of
the
overall
calls.
J
Now
the
higher
number
will
be
in
priority
two,
which
is
a
urgent
calls
which
represents
about
56
percent,
and
those
are
typically
calls
that
are
byte
investigations
or
investigations
that
are
not
necessarily
an
emergency,
but
those
are
calls
that
will
be
in
priority
two
and
so
in
priority.
Three
are
non-urgent
calls
such
as
dead
animal
pickup
patrols,
and
so
those
calls
are
around
29
with
the
overall
calls
from
our
Field
Services
Unit.
L
Good
afternoon,
council
members,
kiska
icard
division
manager,
Animal
Care
and
services
and
I'm
going
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
our
shelter
operations
and
last
fiscal
year
we
took
in
over
15
000
animals,
15
530,
to
be
exact
out
of
those
3
587
were
dogs,
9,
800
cats
and
of
those
5260
were
kittens
118,
rabbits,
guinea,
pigs,
small
mammals,
birds,
reptiles
and
and
small
livestock
and
1025
Wild,
Wild
Life
and
our
average
daily
population.
During
the
summer
months,
average
between
four
and
five
hundred
animals
and
during
the
winter
months,
around
300
animals.
L
And
this
is
our
animal
intake
Trends
over
the
last
five
years.
So,
if
you
can
see,
there
was
a
big
drop
in
intake
between
2018
19
and
19
and
20.
a
continued
drop
into
2021
and
we
are
seeing
an
uptick
again
in
the
number
of
animals
that
we
are
taking
in
in
all
categories.
Cats,
dogs,
as
well
as
small
animals,.
L
L
M
Hi
good
afternoon
my
name
is
Dr
Elizabeth
Cather
I'm,
the
new
medical
director
I've,
been
there
for
about
three
months,
excited
to
join
a
much
larger
shelter
in
scale
compared
to
the
county.
I'm
extremely
happy
to
be
a
part
of
this
new
team
that
the
city
has
helped
get
created
here.
As
far
as
the
medical
and
the
shelter.
Thankfully,
we
are
one
of
the
shelters
in
the
country
that
has
a
full
medical
staff
on
board.
M
This
allows
us
to
provide
on-site
Medical
Treatments,
including
routine
spay,
neuter
medicating
animals
that
are
in
our
facility
and
under
our
care.
We
also
because
we
are
in
open
intake,
shelter,
meaning
we
take
anything
from
the
streets
in
our
jurisdiction,
never
know
what
the
day
will
bring.
So
we
see
a
lot
of
a
lot
of
injured,
hit
by
car,
poisoned
sick,
neglected
animals
that
were
able
to
immediately
triage
and
get
a
treatment
on
board.
M
We
have
a
full
Suite
of
medical
supplies
and
Diagnostics,
including
x-ray,
x-ray
ultrasound
in-house
blood
work,
IV,
fluid
therapy
treatments
and
we're
able
to
basically
at
this
point
since
starting
there
and
getting
a
our
medical
team
built
up.
Do
the
majority
of
things
that
the
animals
need
in-house
from
routine
surgeries
to
more
complicated
emergency
procedures
as
well
as
some
Advanced
Orthopedics?
You
can
see
a
little
dog
Chapo
there
that
got
hit
by
a
car
had
a
severe
traumatic
brain.
M
Injury
was
pretty
unresponsive,
immediate
treatment
was
administered
and
we
gave
him
the
time
he
needed
for
his
brain
to
recover
and
he
was
able
to
go
home
when
his
owner
came
and
found
that
he
was
at
our
facility,
so
he
was
obviously
castrated
and
reunited.
So
it's
exciting
the
things
that
we're
able
to
do
there
now.
J
Thank
you,
Dr
keiter,
and
we're
also
tentatively
planning
to
resume
public
spay
neuter,
including
TNR
January
2023.
L
And
I'm
going
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
our
Administration,
so
one
of
the
things
that
animal
care
and
services
provides
is
Field
Services,
which
is
supported
through
dog
licensing.
So
last
fiscal
year
we
processed
nearly
60
000
animal
licenses,
59
300
of
those
dog
licenses,
44
476
and
for
cat
licenses.
14
824
and
this
generated
1.6
million
in
revenue
for
fiscal
year.
L
2122
and
people
are
able
to
process,
get
their
license
renewed
or
initiated
either
in
person
or
via
web,
and
that
map
in
the
corner
is
a
GIS
map
that
was
developed
through
with
Public
Works.
To
be
able
to
give
us
an
idea
of
Licensing
rates
and
an
ability
to
be
able
to
Target
certain
communities
to
be
able
to
increase
Licensing
in
the
future.
J
Thank
you
Kisco,
and
we
definitely
value
our
volunteers
and
they
they
help
us
out
with
a
lot
of
our
operations,
especially
towards
the
end
of
2020,
when
we
resume
having
our
volunteers
back
to
help
us
with
the
animals
that
are
that
that
were
our
at
the
shelter
that
needed
to
be
socialized
and
walked.
So
we
have
approximately
over
100
active
volunteers,
were
act.
J
We've
had
about
three
onboarding
sessions
recently
and
also
we're
planning
to
have
cat
and
dog
volunteers
trained
around
December
17th,
and
so
we
are
definitely
making
a
lot
of
progress
on
the
in
the
volunteer
program
as
far
as
recruiting.
J
So
a
lot
of
our
volunteers
do
help
and
work
side
by
side
with
our
staff
to
helping
us
socialize
walking
dogs
provide
enrichment
for
the
shelter
pets
and
other
support
for
the
division,
including
also
medical
and
on
the
marketing
side,
we're
utilizing
social
media
such
as
Facebook
and
Instagram,
to
advertise
or
promote
some
of
the
animals
that
we
have
at
our
shelter
in
which
currently
we
have
355
animals
currently
at
the
shelter
that
need
good
homes,
and
so
for
this
fiscal
year
we
have,
we
gathered
around
400
60
000
in
total
donations
and
grants.
J
So
with
the
support
of
mayor
city
council
and
the
budget
office
and
and
other
departments
we've
added,
you
know
we
definitely
wanted
to
address
the
Recruitment
and
Retention
challenges
that
we've
had
this
year
at
ACS.
And
so
you
know
we
added
two
division
managers,
so
it
says
kiska
and
Dr
Gaither.
J
We
also
additionally
hired
a
program
manager,
senior
public
information
representative
and
appealed
operations
supervisor,
and
we
also
increased
our
contract
staff
to
help
out
with
our
kennel
and
cage
cleaning
at
the
shelter,
because
the
there's
a
high
demand,
I,
think
one
of
the
things
that
we're
unfortunately
experiencing
right
now
is
a
high
volume
of
animals
and
and
they're
staying
longer,
Unfortunately
at
the
shelter,
and
so
we
definitely
need
additional
staff
to
including
volunteers
and
contract
staff
to
help
us
with
cleaning
and
other
Services.
J
There
were
also
a
pay
increase
for
acas
and
animal
health
technicians
which
work
in
medical,
and
there
was
also
an
approval
for
the
aca2
position,
which
has
allowed
us
to
help
vaccinate
animals
upon
intake.
Then
our
medical
team
will
follow
up
on
animals
that
weren't
vaccinated
upon
intake,
which
is
a
big
change
in
our
operation.
J
And
additionally,
one
of
the
changes
that
we
implemented
this
year
is
adding
the
ACs
dashboard.
This
is
just
a
snapshot
a
bit,
because
what
this
does
is
there's
a
QR
codes
attached
to
each
door
and
what
staff
and
volunteers
will
do
is
scan
the
QR
code
similar
to
the
kobit
check-in.
J
But
it's
assigned
to
that
door,
and
then
they
will
log
the
services
that
they're
providing
whether
it's
cleaning
walking
feeding
providing
water,
and
so
that
has
really
been
helpful
because
previously
they
were
filling
out
paper
handwriting
cleaning
outside
which
is
not
really
efficient,
and
it
was
hard
for
supervisors
and
managers
to
really
identify
which
rooms
were
clear,
and
so
they
they
do
physical
walkthroughs
three
times
a
day
and
also
the
supervisors
are
doing
walkthroughs
as
well
to
ensure
that
the
the
items
that
need
to
be
addressed
are
addressed
and
that
the
task
has
been
completed.
J
And
so
this
has
really
been
extremely
helpful
and,
more
recently,
we've
been
we've
had
a
lot
of
the
volunteers,
use
it
as
well,
so
that
we're
also
seeing
how
many
dogs
are
being
walked
on
a
daily
basis
and
so
we're
we're.
Definitely
thankful
of
that,
and
and
before
we
end
our
report,
there's
been
a
lot
of
information
and
communication
recently
about
and
I
just
want
to
touch
slightly
on
some
of
the
items,
and
one
of
them
was
a
question
about
our
euthanasia
policy.
J
J
Additionally,
a
minimum
of
three
times
a
week
are
medical
and
shelter
team
meets
to
discuss
animals
that
either
have
a
medical
condition
or
a
behavior
concern
that
deems
an
animal
not
to
necessarily
be
adoptable,
and
so
those
animals
are
either
put
on
a
needs,
rescue
list
and
there's
three
categories:
non-urgent,
urgent
and
final,
and
recently
also,
we
launched
a
pet
Compass
which
is
available
to
the
public
or
any
rescue
organization
that
can
see
those
animals
that
needs
rescue
or
or
just
adoptable
animals,
and
so
the
needs
rescue
list
is
really
our
staff.
J
Communicating
to
our
partners
asking
for
help,
and
so
animals
on
the
needs
rescue
are
animals
that
we
we
want
to
have
them,
leave
the
shelter
and
so
some
of
those
animals
that
are
on
these
Russia.
J
You
could
potentially
have
medical
concerns,
the
or
behavior
concerns,
and
so
what
we're
asking
for
is
really
commitment
from
Partners
to
to
pull
these
animals
so
that
you
know
they're
not
at
risk
for
euthanasia,
because
when
it
comes
to
behavior,
when
you
have
an
animal,
a
dog,
that's
declining
in
Behavior
at
a
shelter,
it
is
inhumane
to
keep
that
dog
at
a
shelter
for
a
long
time.
J
There
was
a
concern
that
it
was
not
a
candidate
for
adoption,
and
so
additionally,
when
we
have
dogs
that
have
some
behavior
that
we're
we're
observing
our
concern
is
either
the
people
that
are
adopting
the
dog
or
the
safety
to
our
staff,
and
so
those
are
always
assessments
that
that
is
being
discussed
as
these
medical
rounds
and
at
some
point
the
dog
was
placed
on
a
final.
J
There
was
an
observation
that
was
different
from
the
staff's
observation
that
was
made
by
our
by
one
of
our
partners
and
that's
where
there
was
a
communication
breakdown
and
and
and
Goofy
was
unfortunately
euthanized,
and
so
we've
addressed
that
and
we've
talked
about
this
case,
and
we
are
have
made
changes
into
our
practice
to
ensure
that
we
are
improving
our
ability
to
communicate
not
just
internally
but
also
with
our
partners,
to
ensure
that
a
similar
occurrence
doesn't
happen
again
in
the
future,
and
the
last
piece
I
want
to
touch
on
is
I
can
have
Dr
gator
Come
on
again,
because
there's
also
some
comments
and
after
this
will
will
end
our
presentation.
M
M
M
M
To
look
at
so
absolutely
body
condition
is
something
that
they're
well
trained
in
so
just
to
put
all
our
ducks
in
a
row
and
get
more
data
for
today
and
I
personally
walked
through
every
single
dog
yesterday
and
this
morning,
and
using
the
standard,
Purina
body
condition
score,
which
is
a
one
out
of
nine
scoring
system
where
one
is
severely
emaciated
and
nine
is
unhealthily
obese,
a
roly-poly
as
we
call
them.
M
97.5
of
the
dogs
that
are
currently
in
the
facility
are
at
or
above
the
ideal
body
condition
score.
There
is
one
dog
that
is
a
two
out
of
nine,
which
is
severely
underweight.
This
dog
actually
came
in
a
couple
weeks
ago
at
a
one
out
of
nine,
and
the
question
is
always:
is
it
because
of
something
medical
or
is
it
a
lack
of
nutrition?
Well,
the
dog
has
gained
over
10
pounds
and
he's
eating
fantastic
stool
is
normal,
so
evidence
points
to
the.
M
Unfortunately,
the
star
was
probably
being
starved,
and
then
there
are
about
four
dogs
out
of
the
201.
That
I
gave
a
three
out
of
nine,
so
that's
slightly
underweight,
not
emaciated
by
any
means,
but
those
are
ones
that
we
flag
to.
You
know,
make
sure
they're
not
having
diarrhea,
maybe
give
some
extra
high
calorie
foods,
but
I
just
wanted
to
say
that
the
current
data
that
we
have
as
of
yesterday
shows
that's
almost
98
of
our
dogs.
Are
an
excellent
body.
Condition.
J
Thank
you,
Dr
cater,
and
you
know,
as
as
as
we
continue
to
look
at
our
operation,
we
we
have
made
progress.
There
are
still
definitely
areas
that
we
need
to
improve
on
and
we're
currently
working
on
those
areas
to
make
sure
that
we're
providing
that
the
best
care
for
our
animals
and
also
make
sure
that
we're
taking
care
of
our
staff
as
well
and
also
volunteers
and
with
that
I.
Thank
you
for
your
time
and
we're
available
for
questions.
D
N
Hi,
thank
you
for
accepting
my
chance
to
speak.
So
I
would
I
had
a
really
long
speech,
but
I'm
gonna
cut
it
down
to
one
particular
item.
N
I
would
like
to
let
you
guys
know
that
I'm,
an
ex-volunteer
at
the
San
Jose
animal
care
center
and
I'm
a
certified
dog
trainer
today
I
did
want
to
talk
about
the
living
conditions
and
I
am
one
of
the
volunteers
who
submitted
the
living
conditions,
video
of
the
kennel
situation
and
the
pictures
of
the
skinny
and
I
would
say
some
emaciated
dogs
that
I
have
received
from
various
volunteers,
various
active
volunteers.
N
So
as
of
this
morning,
there
are
over
200
dogs
and
puppies
at
the
shelter
103
of
them
are
listed
as
straight
75
of
those
are
past,
their
owner
hold
periods
and
should
be
available
to
adopt
a
rescue.
14
of
the
dogs
are
marked
urgent,
meaning
they're
in
need
of
rescue
or
they're
at
risk
of
being
euthanized.
There
are
two
dogs
currently
that
are
marked
final
one
with
a
final
date
of
today,
one
the
other
one.
Coming
up
really
soon.
N
Poor
dogs
were
euthanized
this
week
for
displaying
kennel
stress
dogs
that
pass
the
behavior
and
health
checks
get
about
five
to
ten
minutes
out
of
their
kennels
each
day.
Volunteers
regularly
walk
them
six
and
walk
60
to
80
dogs
per
day.
N
The
newly
implemented
dogs
playing
for
a
Life
program
where
every
dog
should
get
out
every
day
has
only
been
happening
two
to
three
times
a
day:
maximum
20
to
25
dogs
get
out
each
of
those
days
out
of
and
that's
not
every
day
the
shelter
has
refused
to
hire
a
certified
trainer
dog
trainer
and
a
behavior
cons
consultant
to
assist
with
the
enrichment
and
Rehab
of
the
dogs
there.
When
these
dogs
arrive
at
the
shelter,
many
of
them
wait
on
their
kennels
for
weeks.
O
Yes,
post
entrepreneurship,
I
want
to
thank
the
previous
caller
on
Lee
for
for
calling
in
and
providing
that
that
statistical
information
I
think
that's
extremely
important
for
these
conversations.
Sometimes
we
just
always
hear
from
bureaucrats,
and
we
hear
like
the
the
company
party
line
and
we
don't
hear
from
actual
citizens
that
are
doing
the
actual
work
inside
these
facilities
and
not
coming
to
these
meetings
and
giving
just
kind
of
the
kind
of
the
version
of
the
truth
that
they
want
heard.
O
I'm
not
saying
that
the
people
gave
the
presentation
are
doing
that,
but
I
think
that
the
truth
is
more
comprehensive
than
what
is
told
in
these
meetings.
That's
what
I
believe
to
be
absolutely
true.
O
One
other
thing
that
I
wanted
to
comment
on
is
that
I
appreciate
the
service
that
you
provide
overall,
because
the
homeless
population
is
going
to
continue
to
increase
and
they
rely
heavily
on
these
Services,
as
Society
continues
to
reject
people
that
are
experiencing
generational
poverty
and
and
traumas
that
they
experience
within
the
group
home
systems,
women
that
have
experienced
rapes,
women
that
experience
domestic
violence,
women
that
have
experienced
poverty
molestation
the
only
thing
that
they
have
as
companionship
when
they're
out
there
in
a
tent
is
a
dog.
O
You
know
so
I
so
on.
On
behalf
of
of
the
the
residents
of
San
Jose
that
are
experiencing
poverty
and
experiencing
those
kinds
of
conditions.
I
want
to
thank
you
for
the
service
that
you
provide
and
assisting
them
to
keep
their
animals
healthy
and
whatever
service
that
you
do
provide
to
this
population
so
that
they
can
keep
their
companions
because
sometimes
that's
the
only
one
that
they
have.
Thank
you.
P
Hello
I
am
a
citizen
of
San
Jose
for
the
last
six
years.
I
would
like
to
request
an
audit
of
the
Animal
Care
Center
I,
don't
know
what
the
process
is
for
that
I
believe
the
last
audit
was
done
in
2009,
I,
don't
know
if
anyone
can
respond
at
some
point
but
or
or
just
I,
don't
know,
there's
a
way
to
like.
Let
us
know
what
the
process
is
to
request
an
audit.
That
would
be
great
because
I
think
13
years
is
a
really
long
time
for
for
us
not
having
an
audit.
P
So
that's.
That's
all
I'd
like
to
say
thank
you.
D
Q
Hi
I
hope,
I
helped
the
bunny
community
and
for
Santa
Clara
County
and
the
shelter
has
messed
up
big
time.
It
hasn't
been
carry
for
the
bunnies
in
their
care.
They
listed
a
bunny
named
Indiana
Jones,
as
mini
rescue
when
he
needs
to
be
groomed
because
he
has
Madden
fur.
He
does
not
need
to
be
killed
for
game
groomed.
Q
They
also
wanted
beneath
the
artist
to
be
back
to
vaccine,
that
is
of
deadly
disease
in
California,
which
is
killing
bunnies
very
and
it's
very
toxic
to
bunnies
and
curing
them
instantly.
The
shelter
will
not
do
the
vaccine
for
them.
Also
I
do
know
that
they
had
over,
like
50
bunnies
that
were
on
the
shelter
about
eight
months
ago
and
nowhere
they
disappeared.
I
heard
from
someone
else,
I
know
very
well.
This
sheltered
gave
them
to
a
farm,
they
gave
bunnies
to
a
farm
because
they
had
50
bunnies
and
they
all
disappeared.
Q
In
one
day
they
also
have
been
feeding
bunnies
food.
That
is
expired.
They
don't
give
them
Medical
Care
properly.
They
ignore
them,
they
won't
let
volunteers
touch
or
pet.
The
bunnies
I
personally
was
a
volunteer
and
they
that
I
had
to
leave
because
they
would
not
let
any
vultures
give
them
attention
pet
them.
They
treat
the
bunnies
like
they
are
prisoners,
they
won't
even
let
you
volunteers,
they
keep
them
away,
they
train,
they
don't
even
have
a
person
trained,
bunnies
care
for
them.
D
B
Hello
I
just
wanted
to
ask
the
representatives
if
they
expect
to
maintain
the
no-kill
rating
of
90
plus
the
set
of
save
rate.
Sorry,
given
the
recent
higher
use
of
major
rates.
Thank
you.
D
R
Hi,
can
you
hear
me
yes,
hi?
Thank
you.
Oh
hi.
This
is
Liz
Holtz
I
am
a
DNR
Trapper
and
Foster
for
Rescue.
One
of
the
things
that
I'd
like
to
point
out
and
I
agree.
I
think
there
should
be
an
audit,
because
one
of
the
things
that
I
am
seeing
in
the
numbers
that
are
that
does
not
get
reflected
is
the
amount
of
time
that
the
shelter
has
been
closed
to
intake
through
2018,
2019,
obviously
2020
and
2021,
and
even
2022.
R
R
So
I
think
that
the
numbers
are
not
properly
reflective
of
the
need,
because
you're
not
including
animals
that
you
know
would
have
normally
been
brought.
There
had
been
sheltered,
not
then
taking
in
animals
same
thing
with
you
know
the
closures
to
the
DNR
program.
Those
are
additional
animals
that
would
have.
A
R
In
and
being
generous,
the
other
thing
is
that
kitchens
or
bottle
babies
that
they're
unable
to
find
Fosters
for
because
of
the
overwhelming
number
that
the
rescues
of
them
pulling
are
euthanized.
That's
not
a
behavior
or
a
medical
issue.
That's
a
lack
of
resource
issue.
So
these
things
all
need
to
be
taken
to
look
at
and
I
think
that.
S
D
T
Good
afternoon
and
thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
attend
this
meeting
and
provide
comments.
My
name
is
Kate
and
Amber
and
in
full
disclosure
I'm
an
employee
of
the
San
Jose
Animal
Care
Center
I'm.
Here
on
my
own
personal
time,
I
have
volunteered
for
the
San
Jose
Animal
Care
Center
for
the
last
two
kitten
Seasons,
both
as
a
kitten
Foster
and
a
volunteer
in
the
shelter
I
am
now
employed
as
an
animal
health
technician
starting
August
of
this
year.
T
In
these
last
four
months,
I've
seen
significant
improvements
in
the
quality
and
Care
levels
provided
to
the
animals
at
the
Animal,
Care
Center,
fewer
cats
and
kittens
are
being
euthanized
and
they
are
now
receiving
life-saving
care
and
surgery,
and,
as
a
result,
our
adoption
rates
are
increasing
and
we're
putting
less
strain
on
our
rescue.
Partners
asking
them
to
take
animals
with
easily
treatable
medical
conditions.
T
In
the
last
four
months,
I've
seen
that
animals
are
getting
greater
opportunities
for
treatment
and
more
are
going
into
adoptions,
and
our
community
is
happily
adopting
them
for
me
personally,
this
is
an
exciting
time
to
join
the
shelter
team,
I'm
learning
a
lot
and
I'm
happy
to
have
the
opportunity
to
grow
personally
and
professionally
in
Animal
Welfare.
The
vision
for
this
shelter
of
having
a
thriving
adoption
floor,
a
network
of
Fosters
and
a
compassionate
resource
for
our
community
is
underway.
T
I
know
that
the
work
I
participate
in
makes
a
huge
difference
in
the
lives
of
these
animals
and
the
people
who
will
adopt
them.
I
also
want
to
comment
that
I
see
the
bunnies
getting
very
Quality
Care
by
both
staff
and
volunteers,
and
I
also
want
to
make
the
comments
that
neonate
kittens
are
not
being
euthanized,
that
we
are
able
to
provide
overnight,
foster
care
or
send
them
to
our
emergency
vet
partner.
Thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
speak.
D
U
Thank
you
for
this
platform
and
for
for
all
of
your
service.
I
just
want
to
make
note
that
the
shelter
hasn't
actually
been
accepting
any
new
animals
for
weeks
now
and
asking
people
to
take
animals
that
they've
found
and
put
them
back
where
they
found
them.
U
I
feel
like
we're
wasting
our
tax
dollars
while
letting
down
the
most
vulnerable.
We
service
the
wealthiest
ZIP
codes
in
this
country,
and
yet
somehow
we
are
completely
failing.
We
need
proper
Staffing
levels.
The
public
wants
to
help.
We
need
volunteer
coordinators,
Foster
coordinators,
to
make
this
happen
and
we
need
management
that
is
competent
enough,
so
staff
and
volunteers
actually
stick
around
the
animals
need
help
vetting
enrichment,
Medical,
Care,
Fair,
Behavior
assessments
and
proper
networking
with
rescue
groups.
U
I
do
want
to
talk
about
cider,
who
is
most
likely
already
dead
or
going
to
be
dead
by
the
end
of
the
day.
Today,
she's
a
young
lab
mix
brought
in
as
a
stray
with
two
broken
legs,
given
Medical
Care
by
MedVet
and
brought
to
the
shelter
with
no
enrichment
or
activities
she'd
shoot
off
her
bandages
and
remained
in
pain.
Volunteers
fed
her
and
offered
her
affection
to
the
bars
of
the
crate,
no
direct
contact
and
were
able
to
get
some
videos
of
her
showing
affection
and
love
to
the
volunteers.
U
The
shelter
staff
then
cut
off
volunteer
access
and
gave
cider
her
final
date,
and
that
is
today.
I
I
feel
like.
This
is
a
very
good
example
of
complete
mismanagement,
trying
to
give
we're
not
giving
dogs
like
cider
a
chance,
and
this
is
not
reflective
of
what
our
community
wants
to
be.
Thank
you.
D
V
Hello,
my
name
is
Jane
Dresden
and
I
am
serving
on
the
shelters,
work,
rescue
working
group
and
I
want
to
thank
the
shelter
for
initiating
a
working,
a
rescue
working
group.
This
is
new
for
the
shelter
and
it's
been
a
struggle
to
find
our
way
to
get
into
a
rhythm
and
a
process
of
a
really
effective
dialogue.
V
But
progress
has
been
made
and
we
were
the
shelter
shared
the
euthanasia
protocol
with
us,
and
we
were
able
to
submit
substantial
comments
because
we
did
have
many
concerns
about
it,
some
of
which
is
reflected
in
today's
commentary,
and
we
thank
the
shelter
for
the
increase
in
transparency
or
I.
Thank
them
and
I
think
others
did
too
I
want
to
thank
the
shelter
for
some
of
the
Creative
Solutions
we've
seen
and
trying
to
increase
spay
and
neuter
in
the
absence
of
having
an
onboard
vet
using
1099
contracts
outside
vendors
issuing
doing
grants
to
rescue
organizations.
V
It's
no
surprise
that
they
Decay
with
kennel
stress
I'm,
concerned
of
the
timing
of
the
increase
of
animals
that
were
put
on
the
euthanasia
list
or
on
the
final
list,
so
that
it
appears
that
the
year-end
numbers
will
be
adjusted
and
dropped
below
the
90
number,
but
not
as
of
this
date
and
finally,
I'm
also
concerned
that
we're
not
addressing
some
of
the
outside
factors
in
housing
work.
Corporate
corporations
are
changing
the
numbers,
so
people
can't
keep
their
animals
because
the
deposits
have
doubled
and
tripled
Sue.
D
W
I
would
also
ask
if
the
shelter
with
a
capacity
of
300
is
really
the
right
size
for
the
community
that
it
serves.
It's
been
over.
Capacity
of
it
seems
like
as
far
as
I
can
recall,
and
I
would
also
ask
that
the
okrs
that
have
been
referenced
if
those
are
able
to
be
shared
with
progress
being
made
public.
That
would
help
with
some
of
the
concerns
that
people
may
have.
There
is
a
reputation
challenge
that
the
shelter
is
encountering
and
it
the
more
transparency.
W
The
better
I
would
also
hope
that
there's
a
possibility
that
line
items
can
be
added
to
the
capital
budget,
with
a
breakdown
showing
anticipated
expenditures
in
the
future,
and
that,
like
some
of
the
other
City
departments,
there
might
be
an
org
chart
online
with
vacancies
and
filled
positions,
so
that
it
is
clear
what
this.
What
the
state
of
the
shelter
Staffing
is
and
I
would
also
like
to
see
a
strategic
plan
for
collaboration
with
Megan.

Hi
I'm
a
current
volunteer
at
the
shelter
I,
wanted
to
note
that
the
dogs
in
the
video
that
has
been
circulating.
Well,
it's
not
my
video
I-
do
recognize
every
single
one
of
those
docs.
Those
are
all
current
shelter
residents.
K
X
X
This
brings
me
to
the
heartbreaking
story
of
goofy.
Goofy
was
at
the
shelter
since
September
sitting
in
his
kennel
24
hours
a
day
seven
days
a
week.
Goofy
was
a
scared
boy
that
was
euthanized
because
of
poor
evaluations
by
unqualified
staff
due
to
lack
of
Staff
training
and
dog
handling
experience.
He
only
got
out
of
his
kennel
twice
by
Volunteers
in
the
last
week
of
his
life,
even
though
the
volunteers
showed
the
staff.
What
a
good
boy
he
was,
he
was
still
euthanized.
X
X
Ani
also
would
like
to
know
the
qualifications
and
certifications
held
by
the
rescue
coordinators
who
are
currently
evaluating
the
animals
and
finally,
my
own
question
I
believe
it
was
mentioned
that
when
animals
are
moved
to
the
needs
rescue
list,
that
is
a
sign
that
they
are
being
considered
for
euthanasia
and
I'm,
wondering
if
rescues,
are
actively
notified
of
that
at
the
time
that
they're
moved
to
the
list
or
if
the
shelter
expects
rescues,
to
regularly
check
the
shelter's
list
of
dogs.
Thank
you.

Y
Hello,
can
you
hear
me?
Yes,
hi
there
I
adopted
two
dogs
from
the
Care
Center
over
the
past
several
years,
both
with
severe
behavioral
issues
I
took
on
these
dogs
because
I
have
the
time
and
the
resources
to
be
able
to
invest
in
their
Rehabilitation.
Not
everyone
has
those
things
and
I.
Just
really
would
like
to
strongly
suggest
to
the
council
that
there
be
funds
allotted
for
more
behavioralists
and
dog
trainers
at
the
shelter
without
knowledge.
Y
These
are
dogs
that
would
be
candidates
for
euthanasia,
and
that's
such
an
unfortunate
thing
that
could
be
remedied.
I
just
wanted
to
also
make
a
comment
that
having
someone
do
more
media
outreach
with
pictures
and
videos
would
highly
increase
the
amount
of
dogs,
cats,
bunnies
Etc
that
are
able
to
be
adopted
not
just
locally,
but
in
a
broader
area.
Y
Additionally
the
cost
of
spay
and
neuter
is
very
outrageous.
I
have
another
dog
that
I
have
taken
on
as
a
Foster
and
I
personally
out
of
pocket
have
spent
over
600
just
to
have
her
spade,
and
that's
because
there's
no
low-cost,
spay
and
neuter
options
again.
I'm
able
to
do
this
for
these
animals
in
our
community,
but
not
everyone
can
I.
Y
Just
would
like
to
see
more
funds
allotted
for
all
of
the
San
Jose
residents
to
be
able
to
have
their
dogs
spayed
and
neutered,
so
we
don't
continually
have
so
many
dogs
turned
back
over
to
the
shelter
that
are
found
as
Strays
and,
lastly,
more
funds
for
the
the
Trap
neuter
and
release
program.
That
is
a
wonderful
program
that
should
be
highlighted
and
talked
about
more.
Thank
you.
Y
Z
Hello,
can
you
hear
me
okay?
Yes,
thank
you.
So
much
I
I've
been
a
pet
owner
for
forever
20
years
and
we
just
did
our
first
Rescue
of
a
dog
that
we
found
off
the
street
and
I've
done.
It
happened
to
be
on
a
week
that
I
was
off
work
and
I
did
as
much
as
I.
Could
posting
Flyers
going
online
to
all
the
websites?
I
got
a
lot
of
help
from
next
door,
neighbors
and
joined
a
club
and
I
hope
to
get
involved
with
volunteering
at
some
point.
Z
My
concern
right
now
is
that
when
I
tried
to
get
I
work,
full-time
or
time
and
a
half
and
I
don't
have
the
time
to
be
able
to
drive
the
pet
around
to
each
shelter,
to
post
them
and
right
now
the
system's
really
inadequate,
where
wherever
the
pets
found
is
where
they
expect
you
to
register
it
most
agencies,
ask
it
and
take
it
in
so
they
could
take
a
picture
and
report
and
that's
not
really
sufficient
with
the
way
we
have
to
work
in
society.
Z
Otherwise,
having
such
a
disconnected
system
really
takes
away
from
the
opportunity
of
someone
who
may
have
lost
their
dog
and
the
dog
moved
over
jurisdiction
lines
and
now
is
not
posted
within
their
own
jurisdiction.
To
be
able
to
be
found
is
very
difficult
and
a
lot
of
people
don't
have
the
means
of
the
electronics
to
be
able
to
go
online
and
look
at
the
other
sites
that
are
private,
so
they
only
go
to
their
local
shelter.
So
if
you
guys
could
address
that,
that
would
be
fantastic
and
I'd
love
to
help.
D
AA
Hi,
first
of
all,
I
want
to
say
thank
you
to
Dr,
Cather
and
all
of
the
vet
staff
at
the
shelter
I
just
wanted
to
say
that,
like
basically,
we
already
know
how
hard
the
veterinarians
and
Veterinary
staff
work
at
the
shelters
and
I
think
that
we
should
be
doing
a
lot
more
to
support
them,
because
at
the
end
of
the
day,
no
one
who's.
AA
It's
earned
lack
of
want
it's
from
my
understanding,
a
lack
of
resources
and
we're
in
one
of
the
wealthiest
counties
in
the
country,
and
it's
just
pathetic
that
we
don't
have
the
adequate
amount
of
support,
and
that
doesn't
just
mean
like
paying
them
more,
but
also
so
providing
mental
health
support
and
things
of
that
nature.
I'd
also
like
to
mention
that
everybody
said
how
expensive
it
is
to
take
you
to
spay
neuter
animals
and
I.
AA
Don't
really
understand
why
we're
allowing
veterinarians
to
work
in
our
city,
if
they're
not
willing
to
accept
vouchers
for
the
amount
of
money
that
they're
asking
in
order
to
keep
the
Vets
shelter
the
shelter
vets
more
available
for
Urgent
needs
and
having
people
be
able
to
afford
taking
their
animals
to
their
local
vets.
Paying
600
for
veterinary
for
a
spay
is
absurd,
and
so
few
people
can
do
that,
but
the
shelter
should
be
offering
or
I
know
that
they
do.
There
are
low-cost
vouchers,
but
most
veterinarians
don't
take
them.
D
AB
Great
I've
been
on
next
door
a
lot
with
all
these
found
pets
and
people
or
people
who
want
a
pet
to
keep,
and
they
all
tell
me
it's
very
difficult
to
Foster
a
pet
that
there
aren't
any
volunteer
opportunities
to
take
pets
out
for
a
day.
Take
them
out
for
a
week,
and
I
would
like
to
see
much
much
more
of
that
I
guess
it
needs
more
Staffing
for
the
organize
the
volunteers
to
be
able
to
take
them
out.
AB
For
the
day,
I'd
like
to
see
more
programs
for
fostering
I
guess
those
are
not
not
very
prevalent
right
now.
There's
a
lot
of
people
out
there,
I
for
one
that
can't
take
care
of
a
dog
physically
can't
pay
for
a
dog
financially,
and
if,
if
there
was
a
system
where
I
could
take
an
old
dog
out
of
the
pound
and
keep
it
until
it's
dying
days
or
keep
it
just
get
it
out,
get
out
of
that
cage
I'd
like
to
see
more
opportunities
for
people
to
take
pets
temporarily.
AB
C
Great
thank
you,
I'm
gonna,
look
at
my
colleagues
and
see
if
there's
any
comments
coming
from
them.
AC
Was
a
mention
made
of
of
audit
I
know
it's
been
a
while,
since
it's
been
an
audit,
but
there's
also
been
a
period
of
turmoil
recently
with
shortages
and
other
things
and
I'm,
not
sure
it's
the
right
time
to
audit.
Do
you
have
a
feeling
of
when
might
be
the
right
time
to
to
a
new
audit.
I
Sure
thank
you
councilman
for
the
question,
we're
always
open
and
to
to
not
it
at
any
time
we
strive
to
be
as
transparent
as
possible.
I
We
had
a
an
external
audit
this
past
summer
by
Maddie's
fund,
and
we
have
that
post
on
our
website
and
there's
a
number
of
great
recommendations
that
we're,
starting
that
we've
we're
working
on
implementing
as
many
of
them
as
possible
over
the
next
and
some
have
been
implemented
already.
So
there
is
an
external
audit,
that's
been
done.
I
We
can
provide
further
information
on
that
and
we
have
shared
that
with
many
of
our
external
Partners
as
well,
but
directly
answer
your
question
that
any
time
it
was
fine,
you
know
by
right
now
we've
hired
most
of
the
stat
management
staff
back.
We
still
have
two
vacancies
for
veterinarians,
and
so
hopefully
we
can
fill
those
in
the
near
future
and
then
by
next
spring
is
the
kitten
season.
So
it's
going
to
be
pretty
intense
for
the
staff
so
anytime
after
that
would
probably
be
the
optimal
time.
AC
I
After
your
next
spring
summer
would
be
ID,
it
would
be
ideal,
but
we're
always
open
to
okay.
AC
We
can't
talk
and
think
about
that
in
the
future.
I
just
want
to
thank
you
for
the
report
and
for
for
working
to
improve
the
Care
at
the
site.
I
mean
it
it's
an
overwhelming
number
of
animals
you
deal
with
and
I
know
it's
a
difficult
problem
to
try
to
figure
out
how
to
get
them
adequate
care.
So
I
appreciate
continuing
to
try
to
figure
that
out
and
I
think
we'll
continue
to
have
discussions
in
our
budget
cycle
about
what
we
might
have
to
do
to
provide
additional
service
at
this
facility.
AD
Thanks
chair,
thank
you,
staff
for
for
the
report.
I
do
have
a
number
of
questions.
Some
of
them
actually
came
up,
as
the
speakers
who
were
were
commenting.
I
also
want
to
thank
all
the
partners
that
have
been
so
wonderful
in
in
supporting
the
the
center
and
staff,
because
this
isn't
an
easy
job
and
as
we're
looking
at
the
numbers,
they
can
be
quite
quite
overwhelming.
AD
So
a
couple
of
questions
that
come
right
up
for
me
is
one:
is
there
a
reason
why
we're
not
keeping
track
of
those
animals
that
we're
turning
away.
J
Thank
you,
member.
Thank
you,
council,
member
kraska,
deputy
director.
We
are,
we
did
start
around
September
tracking
animals
that
we
are
turning
away.
Unfortunately,
right
now
we
are
doing
it
by
hand
and
we're
just
trying
to
get
more
consistency
and
maybe
a
better
tracking
system,
but
we
we
do
have
on
the
hard
written
paper
of
animals
that
were
turned
away
at
the
shelter,
for
whatever
reasons.
AD
And
and
I'm
sorry-
maybe
I
missed
it
in
the
report,
but
I
don't
see
the
number
being
reported
out
today
regarding
those
numbers
that
were
those
animals
that
were
turned
away.
Do
you
have
that
number.
J
Unfortunately,
I
don't
council,
member
kraska,
we
can
gather
that
information
and
send
you
that
information
via
email.
AD
AD
Really
important
to
understand
the
the
animals
that
were
turned
away
and
why
they're
being
turned
away.
So
that's
just
one
one
issue
that
I
I
think
needs
to
be
remedied
immediately
and
we
need
to
find
a
a
better
way
to
track
that
versus
tallying.
You
know
doing
a
tally.
Every
night
I,
don't
know
what
you're
doing,
but
I
I
think
it
needs
to
be
part
of
this
report.
The
other
is
I'm
a
little
confused
about
the
live
release
rates.
AD
There
seems
to
be
a
difference
in
the
numbers
that
I'm
looking
at
and
would
you
report
it?
You
report
it
90
where
lrr
and
I'm,
seeing
that
it's
actually
lower
than
that
with
81
percent,
live
release
rates
for
cats
and
95
for
dogs.
Is
that
accurate.
I
Thank
you
as
Jay's.
Looking
at
this
is
Matt
Kano
as
Jay's.
Looking
that
up
to
more
detailed
to
answer
the
question,
there's
a
couple
different
live
release
rates
that
are
in
the
report.
One
is
for
fiscal
year
2122,
but
we
also
have
a
paragraph
in
the
report
about
how
we're
tracking
so
far
in
fiscal
year
2223
and
with
that
all
turned
over
to
Jay.
J
J
For
fiscal
year,
2223
I
I
believe
right
now,
I'm
not
looking
at
the
exact
data.
If
we're
talking
live
data,
that's
on
that
where
we
can
currently
check
it
is
for
dogs,
it's
around
90,
4
and
I.
Think
for
cats.
It's
around
I.
V
J
And
it's
not!
It
doesn't
mean
that
we've
euthanize
more
cats,
as
mentioned
earlier.
It's
it's
because
we've
turned
away
a
lot
of
the
healthy
friendly
cats
because
we
weren't
able
to
support
it
via
a
spay
neuter.
So
typically,
when
we
have
cats
that
are
coming
in,
we
we
want
to
get
them
sterilized
and
if
they're
from
the
community,
if
they're
from
a
community
cat,
then
then
we
definitely
want
to
return
them
to
where
they
came
from,
but
because
we
didn't
have
those
resources
this
year.
J
That
is
one
of
the
reasons
why
we
had
to
turn
away
a
lot
of
cats.
So
when
I
did
an
initial
analysis,
we're
finding
out
that?
Yes,
it
is
right
now
currently
for
this
fiscal
year
around
79,
but
that's
missing
when
compared
to
last
year,
approximately
3151
cats
that
would
have
possibly
gotten
a
live
outcome
which
would
have
increased
our
live
release,
and
so,
when
I
punched
in
those
numbers
from
last
year
that
we
got
and
from
previous
years
you
you.
J
If
the
numbers
are
similar,
it
would
have
been
around
91
right
now
if
we
had
those
caps,
but
unfortunately
we
were
turning
them
away
because
we
didn't
have
those
spay
neuter
surgeries
and
so
our
ability
to
send
animals
more
specifically
for
cats
to
rescues
and
other
shelter
partners
went
down
significantly.
Unfortunately,
because.
AD
Okay,
thank
you
for
clarifying
that.
AD
So
a
couple
of
things
in
regards
to
the
the
you
know,
the
maintenance
or
the
care
of
of
of
community
pets
such
as
our
you
know,
I
I
know:
we've
known
him
as
feral
cats,
straight
not
Strays,
but
I
I,
like
the
community
cat
name,
I'm
myself
and
taking
care
of
a
colony,
because
because
they
were
cold
and
hungry
and
they
didn't
look
great
and
so
I
started
to
take
care
of
you
know
I,
my
Colony
has
grown
too
I
I.
AD
Think
I
have
six
at
this
point,
and
and
one
of
the
concerns
that
I've
had
over
the
last
12
months
or
so,
which
is
when
I
started
to
take
on
this
responsibility,
was,
as
some
of
the
speakers
have
said
so
expensive
to
get
them
spayed
and
neutered
and
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
on
track
to
start
that
program
in
in
in
its
full
glory
in
order
to
be
able
to
control
the
the
the
reproduction
of
these
animals,
and
then
you
know
which
leads
afterwards
to
a
very
it
leads
to
an
unhealthy
Colony.
AD
It
leads
to
very
you
know,
unpleasant
end
results.
I,
don't
want
to
see
these
animals
euthanized,
but
I
I
can
see
how
you
know.
Circumstances
will
lead
to
that,
but
I
see
us
being
able
to
avoid
that.
If
we
have
the
vaccination
programs
and
the
TNR
up
and
running
so,
is
it
a
matter
of
getting
additional
staff?
Is
it
a
matter
of
attracting
staff?
What
is
it
that's,
keeping
us
from
having
a
full
TNR
program,
as
well
as
providing
spay
and
neuter
services
to
our
families.
J
Thank
you,
council,
member
J
throughout
again
with
the
Animal
Care
Services,
so
our
our
medical
director,
Dr
Cather,
her
tentative
goal
right
now
and
our
overall
goal
as
a
division
is
to
resume
TNR
in
January.
We're
gonna
schedule
a
meeting
with
our
partners
starting
next
week
to
kind
of
discuss
what
that
looks
like
because
I
think.
J
But
we
just
want
to
be
able
to
confirm
that
with
our
partners
and
our
data
and
and
resume
those
services
in
January
and
and
maybe
start
with
just
focusing
on
certain
areas
and
then
at
some
point,
slowly
resume
the
ability
for
owners
to
take
advantage
of
our
low-cost,
spay
neuter
Services
again,
I
want
to
say
tentative
because
right
now
we
we
feel
like.
We
have
the
Staffing
to
resume
that.
But
we
still
as
Matt
Kano
said
earlier.
J
We
still
need
two
full-time
vets
and
we
still
have
five
full-time
animal
health
technicians
that
are
that
that
we
still
have
that
vacancy
and
so
I'm
sorry
I
misspoke,
it's
four
and
animal
health
technicians,
so
we
have
the
vacancy
on
and
we
are
trying
to
look
at
options
on
on
that
hiring
because
when
it
comes
to
TNR
surgery,
you
not
only
need
the
veterinarian,
but
also
the
support
staff,
including
licensed
registered
veterinarians,
that's
required
by
the
California
vet,
Medical
Board,
and
so
those
are.
J
Some
of
the
challenges
that
we
have
is
is
really
getting
additional
license.
Texts
I
mean
we
have.
Currently
we
have
our
medical
director,
one
full-time
vet
and
three
part-time
vets
that
that
can
clearly
do
surgeries,
but
without
support
staff.
It
kind
of
limits
our
ability
to
do
a
sustained
TNR
program.
AD
It
is
so
so
I've
had
a
couple
of
events
in
my
district
for
spay
and
neuter
for
our
families
and
a
number
of
events
for
free
vaccinations,
and
these
are
events
that
you
know.
We've
never
had
the
experience
where
we've
had
to
turn
families
away
from
any
of
our
events,
but
it
just
speaks
to
the
need
that
we
have
here
in
the
city
of
San
Jose,
especially
in
lower
income
communities
where
spaying
and
neutering
and
vaccinations
are
very
expensive.
AD
I
I've
paid
a
good
Hefty
amount
as
well,
so
is
there
have
we
started
to
think
about
how
we
partner
with
external
organizations,
while
we
Gear
Up
And,
while
we
build
capacity.
J
So,
thank
you
for
the
question.
So
what
one
of
our
plans
that
we've
already
implemented
this
year
is
to
partner
up
with
several
organizations
that
are
able
to
contact
with
us
when
it
comes
to
surgeries
with
cats
and
including
dogs
and
we've
actually
utilized
that,
because
we've
had
a
situation.
We've
had
to
Foster
animals
for
adoption
and
and
have
those
owners
schedule
their
time
with
some
of
these
contract
Partners
so
that
they
can
get
surgery.
J
And
so
that
is
ultimately
one
of
our
goals
is
to
resume
not
just
DNR
and
then
the
low-cost
spay
neuter.
But
previously
before
kobit,
we
did
have
a
program
called
vets
for
Healthy
Pets,
which
low
income
or
anyone
that
that
needed
assistance,
whether
it's
vaccination
surgery
or
some
minor
procedures
that
they
would
come
to
our
shelter.
And
that
was
in
partnership
with
the
Humane
Society
of
Silicon
Valley
that
they
would
come
to
our
shelter
and
and
we
would
and
those
animals
would
be
evaluated.
J
They
would
be
given
and
resources,
vaccinations
and
and
schedule
surgery,
and
we
utilize
some
donated
funds
to
to
help
with
those
costs.
But
that
is
a
program
that
I
haven't
forgotten
because
I
know
the
importance
of
that
and
then
once
we
kind
of
get
going
with
our
medical
program.
That
is
one
of
the
programs
that
I've
already
mentioned
to
our
team.
That
I
want
to
resume,
and
so
it
is
I
haven't
forgotten
about
the
program,
but
right
now
we're
just
not
at
that
State.
Yet.
AD
Okay,
so
I'm
gonna
wrap
up
because
because
chair
is
texting
me
and
she's
threatening
me,
but
I
I'm
really
very
concerned
about
you
know
the
I'll
tell
you
one
of
one
of
the
motivators
for
me
to
take
care
of
these
cats
outside
of
my
house.
AD
I
was
very
concerned
and
actually
afraid
that
that
there
would
be
a
neighbor
that
was
very
bothered
by
them
and
would
actually
harm
them
in
some
way
or
or
another
I've
heard
these
horrible
stories
and
I
just
can't
Envision
that
happening
in
my
neighborhood.
AD
It
would
alleviate
some
of
the
burden
on
the
on
the
on
the
shelter
and
and
could
really
truly
start
to
have
some
impact
out
in
the
communities
with
the
community
cats,
especially
and
I
mean
it's
something
I'm
going
to
pursue
with
a
city
manager,
I
leave
on
the
31st
of
December,
but
I
I.
Don't
envision
myself,
leaving
this
topic
in
particular
because
I
we
have
such
a
fantastic
network
of
individuals
ready
to
help
and
there's
a
lot
of
organizations
out
there.
AD
I
won't
say
a
lot,
but
there's
a
number
of
organizations.
You
know
them
well
as
as
well
as
as
well
as
I.
Do
that
I
think
that
we
could
partner
until
the
shelter
can
truly
build
more
capacity,
so
so
I
I'm
gonna
leave
it
at
that.
AD
Thank
you,
chair
for
for
indulging
me,
but
I'm
I'm,
so
concerned
about
animals
who
are
being
euthanized
before
they
have
an
opportunity
to
truly
find
a
permanent
home
and
for
the
community
Critters
out
there
that
are
they're,
gonna,
be
reproducing
in
a
couple
of
months
and
then
we're
going
to
have
another
situation
that
I
think
would
be
very
unfavorable
and
unpleasant.
C
Thank
you,
council
member
council,
member
sparza.
F
AE
You
and
I
know
chair
has
the
tough
job
of
keeping
us
all
on
track,
so
I'll,
I'll
I'll
be
quick
and
I'll
put
my
questions
out
there
to
start
with
so
first
I
really
want
to
thank
everyone.
I
want
to
thank
our
city
staff,
our
amazing
volunteers
and
partners.
AE
I'm.
You
know
this
past
year
has
been
incredibly
hard
and
and
then
following
covid,
it's
been
a
tremendous
Challenge
and
we've
only
gotten
through
it
through
just
the
dead
amazing
dedication
of
everyone
and
I
just
wanted
to
acknowledge
the
hard
work
that
all
that
our
staff,
partners
and
volunteers
have
put
in.
AE
My
questions
are
I
wanted
to
follow
up.
Actually
I
was
thinking
along
the
same
lines
as
council
member
Carrasco,
so
number
one
first
question
is
we
made
some
changes
to
make
our
positions
more
attractive,
but
we
still
have
one
out
of
two
full-time
veterinarian
positions
filled
a
part-time
vet
filled,
but
only
one
out
of
the
five
Animal
Health
technician.
Positions
have
been
filled,
I
see
that
we've
done
our
med
tech
contracts
and
all
of
that.
But
how
can?
AE
What
is
our
staffing
plan
you
know,
and
how
are
we
relying
on
Partners?
How
are
they
able
to
get
vets,
and
you
know
what
what
are
the
barriers
there
and
my
second
question
is
so
I
think
you
answered
it
so
I
wanted
to
confirm
it.
Are
we
going
to
start
restart
our
field
cap
program
in
January?
Is
that
what
I
heard
those
are
my
two
questions?
Thanks.
I
Thanks
this
is
Matt
Kano
I'll
take
the
first
shot
at
the
first
question,
so
I
I
wanted
to
clarify
something.
I
said
earlier,
I
said
we
had
two
full-time
vet
vacancies.
You
are
actually
correct.
Councilmember
we
have
one
budgeted
vet
full-time
vacancy,
but
we
do
have
another
over
strength,
position
that
we've
we've
put
forward
to
temporarily
to
try
and
attract
a
another
veterinarian.
I
So
that's
why
I
said
we
have
two
vacancies
that
we're
currently
recruiting
for
so
we
are,
we
are
having
a
lot
of
internal
conversations,
we're
reposting,
that
the
good
news
is
that
we
we
did
get
more
applications
than
we'd
ever
gotten
after
the
last
salary
adjustment,
which
included
a
signing
bonus.
I
We
had
multiple
applications,
no,
not
not
a
lot
but
multiple,
which
is
way
more
than
we
had
in
the
past.
We
had
a
few
offers
that
were
made
where
vets
declined
and
and
for
various
various
reasons,
however,
that
when
we
did,
you
have
one
new
full-time
vet,
except
which,
which
is
great
so
we're
having
a
lot
of
internal
discussions,
we're
talking,
HR
and
employee
relations
as
well.
We're
posting
we're
reposting
it
on
various
different
professional
websites.
I
We're
talking
to
everybody,
we
can
we're
talking
to
our
partner
agencies
to
see
if
there's
any
any
vet
recruitments
that
they've
done
for
staff,
that
we
can.
We
can
Outreach
to
for
staff,
they
haven't
hired
and
so
we're
really
really
pushing
there
on
the
vet
salaries.
It
does
look
like,
though,
that
our
salary
is
very
competitive
now
compared
to
where
it
used
to
be
on
animal
health
technicians.
I
The
past
couple
weeks,
even
in
as
early
as
even
yesterday,
we're
having
discussions
with
the
HR
department
about
any
changes
that
we
can
make
we
did
make.
There
was
a
salary
adjustment.
Earlier
this
year
for
animal
health
technicians,
we
have
been
able
to
hire
a
number
of
part-time
animal
health
technicians,
which
is
great,
and
so
we're
able
to
fill
a
lot
of
hours
for
our
animal
health
technicians,
but
for
some
reason,
we've
been
unable
to
hire
more
than
one
full-time
Animal
Health
Tech.
I
J
Thank
you,
council,
member
cross.
As
far
as
I'm
sorry,
it's
been
a
long
afternoon
so
to
to
answer
your
question.
Yes,
we
are.
We
are
tentatively
planning
on
January
to
resume
our
TNR
program,
working
with
our
partners,
community
and
and
our
data
that
we
can
capture
to
resume
those
Services
I.
J
We've
definitely
heard
it
all
year,
not
just
from
the
community,
but
also
from
our
partners
on
on
the
extreme
need
to
resume
that
program,
and
so
we're
really
going
to
work
hard
to
to
get
that
going
again,
because
you
know
when,
when
the
busy
season
starts
again,
we
we
definitely
want
to
reduce
the
number
of
animals
that
are
coming
in,
especially
on
the
kitten
side,
and
so
that
is
our
goal
is
to
get
that
started.
AE
AE
Unfortunately,
we
weren't
able
to
do
a
park
spawn
this
year
and
you
know
Animal
Care
is
it's
in
that
sort
of
interesting
space
We've
we
did
bonds
for
measure
T
and
then
you
know,
we've
looked
at
parks
bonds,
but
one
of
the
things
that
we
should
add
to
our
work
plan
is
how
we
can
include
Animal
Care
and
the
next
Bond
that
we
do
so
that
we
can
really
invest
in
the
type
of
infrastructure
that
that
these
facilities
need.
That's
it
for
me.
Thank
you,
chair.
C
Thank
you,
council,
member
I'm,
going
to
just
ask
a
couple
of
questions
and
we
can
take
some
of
the
answers
offline
if
we
find
ourselves
in
a
longer
conversation,
we
have
five
other
items
and
it's
almost
three
o'clock,
so
we
are
going
to
try
to
move
forward.
But
my
question
is
about
the
responsibility
for
residents
who
find
dogs.
C
When,
at
this
point
from
what
I
understand
is
that,
if
somebody
finds
a
dog,
they
are
responsible
for
taking
it
to
a
vet
within
72
hours
to
continue
to
provide
treatment
and
monitor
the
dog,
and
if
the
owner
doesn't
come
and
and
try
to
look
for
the
dog,
it
is
now
their
dog.
Is
that
yeah?
J
Think
we
have
a
stray
dog.
Thank
you
for
the
question
council
member
so
because
of
the
the
number
of
dogs
at
our
facility
right
now,
there
are
certain
certain
things
that
we
ask,
especially
if
a
dog
is
friendly
and
healthy,
and
so,
if
it's
a
stray
dog,
the
direction
to
the
staff
has
always
been
if
they're
bringing
it
into
the
shelter
they'll
scan
it.
If
there's
a
microchip,
then
we'll
follow
up
with
the
owner.
But
if
they're
interested
in
you
know
keeping
the
dog,
then
within
30
days
the
ownership
becomes
theirs.
J
But
if
there's
any
medical
concerns
that
they
have,
then
you
know
and
then
when
they
communicate,
that
with
the
staff
or
if
the
staff
sees
it,
then
there's
two
options.
They
can
either
take
on
that
responsibility
or
we
can
take
on
the
responsibility
as
well.
So
those
are
just
options
that
are
that
are
given
and
I
know
that
there's
been
comments
about
being
animals
turned
away
because
of
our
capacity.
J
We
do
ask
if
they're
able
to
keep
it,
but
if
not,
then
we've
asked
the
staff
to
talk
to
his
supervisors
because
we're
definitely
beyond
our
capacity
for
large
dogs
right
now,
and
so
it's
difficult
for
us
to
you
know
being
an
open
shelter
to
accept
dogs.
When
you
know
we
don't
have
kennels
I've
heard
of
other
shelters,
putting
dogs
in
crates
and
break
rooms
and
I
I
definitely
want
to
avoid
that,
because
that's
not
where
we
want
to
be.
But
so
it's
a
it's
a
it's
a
balancing
act
on.
K
S
J
Upon
the
person
that
found
it
I
know,
I
know
that
I
do
want
to
address
that,
for
for
this
fiscal
year,
we've
taken
in
a
combination
of
all
animals,
dog,
puppies
cats,
kittens
and
others
over
the
counter,
meaning
that
people
since
July
we've
taken
in
2
353..
So
we're
not
turning
away.
It's
just
we're
really
trying
to
manage
that
intake.
C
Sure
no
I
I
get
it
and
I
I
know
that
you
find
yourself
in
a
very
precarious
situation,
wanting
to
provide
care,
a
respectful
care
and
then
managing
your
own
resources
and
and
intake
the
the
one
of
the
reasons
that
I
bring.
This
up
is
because
it
this
actually
happened
to
somebody
on
my
team
and
you,
obviously
they
they.
They
are
very
kind-hearted
and
compassionate,
but
they
weren't,
given
the
option
of
not
keeping
the
dog
they
were
given.
C
That
was
the
only
option
that
they
had
that
they
were
given,
and
so
what
I
worry
about
is
what
is
the
message
that
we
are
sending
to
Working,
Families
or
families
that
are
just
have
hardships?
You
know.
Fortunately,
the
this
particular
person
is,
is
a
dog
lover
at
heart,
and
so
they
took
the
dog,
but
it's
a
forced,
it's
the
forced
ownership
and
and
it's
and
it
you
just
find
yourself.
Strangely
adopting
a
dog
that
you
didn't
ever
intend
to
so
I.
C
I
Thank
you,
councilman.
Let
me
address
something
to
to
your
point
here
and
and
I
agree
with
everything.
Jay
said,
but
I
also
I
understand
what
you're
saying
as
well.
One
of
the
challenges
we've
had
the
past
several
months
is:
we've
hired
I,
don't
know:
40
50
60,
some
odd
new
staff
members
for
that.
A
lot
of
part-time,
some
full-time
at
the
Animal,
Care,
Center
and
we've
had
and
training
is
something
that's
been
very
important
and
training
and
consistency,
and-
and
so
that's
something
we're
getting
better
at
every
day.
And
so
there's
I'm
sure.
I
There's
been
the
instances
where
the
message
we
maybe
want
to
send
from
a
leadership
standpoint
to
the
community.
It
possibly
hasn't
been
sent
because
we
haven't
had.
We
haven't
supported
our
staff
enough
through
training,
and
so
that's
some
just
because
everything
was
so
chaotic
and-
and
that
is
something
that
kiska
and
Jay
and
the
team
are
taking
a
leadership
role
in
to
really
make
sure
that
you
know
it's
in
some
our
staff.
I
C
You
know
I
I
really
appreciate
that
for
to
take
that
you're
taking
on
that
responsibility
and
I
I
would
just
say:
let's
look
at
what
we
post.
Let's
look
at
what
we
say
to
our
residents
as
they
come
in
I.
Just
don't
want
folks
to
be
discouraged
from
bringing
in
any
Strays
right,
because
you
know
the
gossip
is
is
runs
like
wildfire
and
soon
enough
they'll
be
saying
to
each
other.
Residents
will
be
saying
to
each
other.
J
Council
member,
for
me,
add
we've
had
discussions
about,
maybe
just
so
that
the
the
message
is
clear,
maybe
as
a
team
and
working
with
our
public
information
officer
and
and
essentially
having
a
handout
right
that
we
approve
as
far
as
the
messaging,
because
then
staff
is
not
having
to
interpret
what
we're
intending,
and
so
maybe
if
we
approve
a
certain
messaging
that
hey,
you
found
a
dog.
Now
what
or
you
find
a
cat
now,
what.
B
J
And
so
I've
had
those
initial
discussion
with
our
team,
and
so
once
that,
but
we'll
you
know,
because
this
has
come
up
now-
that
I
I
definitely
want
to
get
us
going
to
to
make
that
happen,
especially
with
our
current
challenges.
So
I
think
that
would
probably
help
clarify
some
of
these
see
these
complicated
situations
that
that
not
just
the
community
are
experiencing,
but
also
our
team.
So
it's
just
if
we
had
them
out,
then
it's
an
easier
conversation.
So
thank
you
for
that.
C
Wonderful
and
then
I
I
just
hope
that
the
feedback
that
you
heard
today
and
I
know
that
angel
has
this
commitment
of
of
taking
back
some
of
what
we
heard
today
to
the
shelter
rescue,
working
group
and
I
believe
those
are
some
of
your
key
partners
that
you
convene
every
so
often,
and
so
I
really
hope
that
this
goes
back
there
and
and
that
the
folks
who
called
in
feel
heard
and
also
participating
because
they're
part
of
the
answer
right.
C
There
are
volunteers
and
residents
who
just
love
and
advocate
for
for
dogs
and
and
cats
and
bunnies
and
whatnot.
So
so,
thank
you
so
much
for
for
the
presentation.
Thank
you
for
answering
all
the
questions
and
doing
this
very
difficult
work,
while
not
having
all
of
the
resources,
and
we
completely
understand
what
a
difficult
situation
you're
in
so
so
thank
you
for
for
doing
so
much
with
so
little
all
right.
So
we
have
a
motion
on
the
floor.
C
U
AF
Also
we
are
measuring
and
tracking
what
we
plan
and
plan
to
accomplish
differently
than
we
have
in
the
past.
But
let
me
give
you
a
little
bit
of
a
background
and
framework
there.
We
go
so
after
30
years
of
convening
the
mayor's
gang
prevention
task
force,
which
became
a
national
model
for
reclaiming
our
youth
through
city-operated
services
and
community-based
partners,
and
a
collective
impact
approach.
This
strategy
will
evolve
into
the
new
San
Jose
Youth
Empowerment
Alliance.
AF
We
will
continue
our
Continuum
of
Care
and
focus
on
reducing
risk
factors
and
developing
protective
factors
that
we
know
prevent
and
reduce
youth
violence,
including
gang
violence.
Our
strategy
maintains
prevention
and
intervention,
re
and
re-entry
approaches
and
more
explicitly
adds
diversion
and
healing
strategies.
We
will
continue
our
secret
sauce
oops
went
back
too
far.
AF
AF
The
new
strategic
plan
and
our
results
that
we
plan
to
accomplish
cut
across
several
of
the
initiatives
that
the
city
and
our
partners
are
currently
committed
to
I
won't
talk
about
these
four
initiatives.
I
think
you're
all
very
familiar
with
them,
but
I
want
to
point
out
that
we've
been
very
intentional
working
with
them
and
we
think
that
some
of
the
objectives
and
key
results
that
you'll
see
cut
across
these
many
initiatives.
AF
Here
this
slide
describes
the
multitude
of
activities
and
strategies
through
the
various
waves
that
young
people
live
and
what
influences
their
behaviors
both
positively
and
negatively.
It's
important
that
we
not
only
maintain
individual
level
services
and
work
in
schools
and
neighborhoods
most
affected
by
violence,
but
that
we
simultaneously
work
at
the
policy
and
systems
change
levels.
The
new
plan
and
results
will
be
identified
across
these
areas.
AF
AF
We
engage
community
members
through
32
listening
sessions
and
you
can
see
we
work
with
new
new
partners,
new
providers
and
we're
really
grateful
to
our
partnership
with
the
project.
Hope
neighborhoods,
and
you
can
see.
We've
got
multi-ethnic
groups
that
we
also
worked
with
through
those
listening
sessions.
We
compiled
themes
by
both
adults
and
youth,
and
you
can
see
some
are
similar
and
some
are
different
and
even
though
the
subject
matter
in
the
community
meetings
and
focus
groups
was
centered
around
youth
violence.
AF
AF
So
this
is
that's
how
we
arrived
at
our
new
plan,
and
this
is
a
very
wordy
snapshot
of
our
of
how
we're
showing
our
four
strategic
objectives
and
the
outcomes
of
the
program
and
Community
level
that
we
want
for
our
young
people
in
our
city.
So
you'll
see
again,
as
I
mentioned,
we're
still
committed
to
a
prevention
strategy
and
intervention
strategy,
we've
added
diversion.
We
continue
re-entry
and
we've
added
a
healing
strategy.
AF
What
we've
all
been
through,
whether
it
was
the
pandemic
or
through
the
summer
of
2020.
We
know
that
we
must
include
a
healing,
very
intentional
healing
component
and
one
that
focuses
on
the
trauma
and
foreign
practices
that
really
the
gang
prevention
task
force
was
pioneering
before
it
was
sort
of
a
notable
practice,
but
we
really
want
to
ensure
that
we
understand
that
race
place
and
history
matters.
So
that's
a
really
strong
added
component
to
this.
AF
Lastly,
you'll
see,
on
the
right
hand,
side
we
will
be
incorporating
a
more
robust
evaluation,
we're
going
to
be
rfping
for
contractors
to
evaluate
Our,
Youth
Intervention
services
in
year,
one
and
we'll
be
reporting
out
in
2024
on
the
outcomes
of
those
programs
and
services,
and
then,
as
always,
we
want
to
see
how
our
children
are
doing
in
our
communities
faring
at
the
broader
levels.
So
we
have
those
Community
indicators
that
you
see
on
the
bottom
right.
AF
What
will
also
be
new
is
that
we,
where
possible,
will
be
disaggregating
by
age,
race,
Place,
gender
identity
and
disability,
where
possible.
This
will
all
help
us
understand
who's
affected
at
the
sub-population
level.
What
are
those
emerging
things
and
how
can
we
again
build
services
and
strategies
to
meet
those
needs
and
we
have
our
okrs,
so
the
four
strategies
that
I
mentioned
you'll
see
we've.
AF
We
have
translated
into
objectives
across
the
top,
so
for
the
next
three
years
our
key
objectives
are
across
the
top
and
they
align
with
again
prevention,
intervention,
diversion
reentry
and
healing,
and
then
the
bottom
in
white
you'll
see
for
year
One
what
we
have
already
I'm.
Sorry
there
you
go
and
then
across
the
bottom
you'll
see
the
key
results
for
year,
one
these
were
adopted
by
the
policy
team
on
October
27th.
AF
We've
discussed
this
already,
we'll
be
working
with
Partners
such
as
County
Office
of
Education,
the
County
Public
Health
Department,
County
Probation,
as
well
as
Community
Partners
folks,
like
Sandy
Hook
promise
to
carry
out
these
accomplishments
over
next
year
and
for
the
sake
of
time
we
won't
discuss
them
all
we'd
be
happy
to
answer
any
questions
on
these
key
results.
AF
So,
finally,
just
back
to
what
we're
asking
for
you
today
and
the
memo
calls
for
that,
you
accept
the
new
strategic
plan,
which
is
now
the
San
Jose
Youth
Empowerment,
Alliance
change,
the
name
and
last
month
at
NSC,
was
already
brought
to
your
attention
that
what
we've
long
called
Gang
hot
spots
in
administratively
we're
now
going
to
be
calling
opportunity
neighborhoods.
AF
So
we're
taking
this
approach
of
being
asset
based
versus
deficit
based
and
acknowledging
what
government's
role
is
in
labeling
communities,
and
so
we
are
writing
the
wrongs
and
and
using
those
terms
here
on
out,
and
we
know
we
have
a
lot
to
prove
to
the
community,
but
we
are
very
excited
and
passionate
about
pulling
this
together
and
making
this
real
over
the
next
three
years.
So
we're
here
to
answer
any
questions.
Thank
you.
O
Yes,
also
from
the
Horseshoe
having
I
I
would
consider
myself
an
expert
on
gangs,
considering
that
my
father
was
a
Jackson
King
for
those
of
you
that
that
aren't
in
the
know,
find
out
what
a
Jackson
King
is.
He
grew
up
with
the
blackberries
and
then
I
went
into
the
prison
system.
I
grew
up
with
us.
Amelia
and
Nortenos.
I
grew
up
in
the
Horseshoe,
so
I
know
a
little
bit
about
gangs
and
for
this
city
to
accept
this
document
from
John
ciccarelli.
O
Let
me
quote
one
of
those
statements
that
he
made
in
in
his
memo.
Gang
violence
was
plaguing
neighborhoods
and
young
people
of
color
were
killing
each
other.
This
is
what
he
said
in
Angel
Rios
signed
off
on
this
okay,
it's
so
disgusting.
I
can't
even
continue
with
it.
Okay,
these
are
modules
that
were
in
redlined
areas,
okay,
and
it
was
because
they
grew
up
in
these
redlined
areas
in
this
oppression,
the
police
brutality.
O
Why
don't
we
talk
about
the
police,
brutality
that
happened
in
these
modules
to
where
these
games
and
these
these
groups
of
people,
these
groups
of
Chicanos,
felt
like
they
had
to
band
together
and
that
all
of
the
all
the
social
and
economic
conditions
and
deprivations
that
they
were
experiencing
because
of
this
redlining
and
because
of
that
marginalization
in
discrimination
that
their
behavior
was
symptomatic?
That
it's
not
the
primary?
It
is
symptomatic
of
a
larger
societal
problem
and
I'm
talking
about
the
societal
problem
that
exists
here
in
San
Jose.
So
you
know
absolutely
nothing
about
games.
O
You
know
absolutely
nothing
about
gang
membership,
I'm,
an
expert
okay
and
what
you're
doing
right
now
is
you're
continually
like
politely
like
you're
looking
at
us
in
the
face
and
you're
mocking
us
and
you're
smiling
at
us,
while
you're
still
demonizing
and
vilifying
the
Chicanos
and
the
Mexicans
and
all
others
that
have
lived
in
these
bodies,
I
mean
you,
you
guys
just
need
to
stop
man.
This
is
a
disgusting
memo.
I
want
it.
Rewritten.
D
AG
Hi
Blair
Beekman
here
thanks
a
lot
for
this
item.
I
come
from
the
other
side
of
what
Paul,
where
Paul
comes
from
on
this
issue.
I
come
from
more
of
a
place
of
privilege
and
what
could
be
called
the
west
side
of
San
Jose.
AG
So
my
thinking
on
this
matter
is,
for
instance,
I
I,
like
the
name,
change,
I,
think
it's
a
it's
a
good
start
and,
interestingly
it's
it's
words:
abbreviated
words.
Yay
is
a
word,
that's
kind
of
a
an
interesting
word
in
East
Asian
culture.
That
I
think
is
trying
to
respect
these
East
Asian
culture
and,
at
the
same
time,
the
concept
of
Youth
Empowerment.
AG
What
what
the
mayor
talked
about
a
few
months
ago,
it's
it's
an
aspirational
idea
and
what
we're
not
doing
with
Youth
Empowerment
ideas
so
well
now.
The
reason
for
its
name
is
so
we
can
aspire
to
that
goal
and
if
people,
young
people
and
people
like
Paul
are
upset,
I
think
the
reason
for
the
name
change
and
what
its
name
is
is
so
we
can
take
the
steps
to
get
to
that
more
important
place
of
listening
and
understanding,
and
that's
the
point
of
its
name,
I
think,
and
it's
all
a
step
process.
AG
If
we
want
to
take
the
steps
to
get
to
that
new
plane
of
thinking
that
the
transformational
place
we
have
to
put
in
the
time
and
energy
to
want
to
get
there
and
and
to
tell
our
officials
that
and
to
show
them
and
to
give
them
examples,
and
that's
the
idea
of
progress,
and
we
just
have
to
continuously
do
that
good
work
and
now
listen.
Our
city
government
will
listen,
they'll,
hear
us
just
a
matter.
We
got
to
learn
how
to
do
that
together
or
individually,
and
that
that
builds
our.
AG
D
S
Good
afternoon,
everyone
and
thank
you
for
this
opportunity
to
provide
public
comment.
My
name
is
Alan
guig.
He
him
and
I
serve
as
the
policy
and
advocacy
associate
with
the
Silicon
Valley
Council
of
nonprofits
today,
I'm
seeking
on
behalf
of
svcn
and
in
coordination
and
alignment
with
many
of
the
other
best
providers
who
may
or
may
not
be
able
to
tune
in
for
public
common
today.
First
off,
we
would
like
to
thank
you
for
giving
best
to
see
that
the
table
in
the
strategic
planning
process.
S
We
really
appreciate
all
the
hard
work
being
put
into
this,
including
that
of
the
planning
committee
staff
and
the
consultant
that
worked
on
this.
We
genuinely
like
the
direction
of
the
Strategic
plan
and
the
direction
that
it
is
moving
in,
along
with
its
coordination,
with
the
other
big
change
initiatives,
and
even
more
so,
we
do
think
that
the
city
should
at
least
double
its
investment,
invest
and
generally
continue
increasing
funding
for
prevention
and
intervention
purposes.
Overall.
Thank
you
again
for
your
time
and
have
a
wonderful
day.
C
Let
me
check
and
see
I
don't
see
any
hands
from
my
Council
membership
present
here,
but
okay,
that
council
member,
as
far
as
a
online
go
ahead.
Thank.
F
You
thank
you
chair.
First
I
I,
I,
really.
AE
You
know
like
to
thank
all
the
work
that
everyone
has
done.
This
has
been
a
couple
years
in
the
making
and
words
matter,
but
but
actions
matter
more
and
and
a
lot
of
work.
That's
reflected
in
in
this
report
leaves
me
very
hopeful
and
I
just
wanted
to
comment
on
the
quote:
I
love
the
quote
that
all
violence
is
excuse
me
all
that
violence
is
connected.
AE
I
know
the
chair
has
done
a
lot
of
work
on
sexual
assault
and
we've
seen
that
data
amongst
Our
Youth,
and
it
is
absolutely
all
connected,
so
is
poverty,
so
is
poverty,
and
and
and
especially
when
we
talk
about
moving
from
hopelessness
to
Hope,
and
that
healing
section
is
is
huge
and
I
also
wanted
to
say
that
it's
great
to
see
diversion
back.
It's
always
the
first
to
go
and,
and
you
know,
I
I'm
not
ready
to
to
just
throw
our
kids
away.
AE
We
need
to
do
what
it
takes
to
get
them
back
on
the
path.
So
with
that,
I
have
two
two
questions.
AE
The
first
question
is
so:
it
mentions
about
the
12
key
results
across
the
four
objectives,
and
it
says
that
while
there
are
not
current
measurables
for
the
four
objectives
at
this
time,
the
identification
of
measurable
objectives
will
be
completed
during
year.
One
through
the
key
results
is
that
so
my
concern
with
that
is:
how
does
that
relate
to
to
the
contracts
to
what
we
expect
from
our
contractors?
AE
As
that
work
gets
completed
and
rfps
go
out,
we
absolutely
need
measurable
outcomes.
The
second
question
that
I
have
is,
as
we
move
to
being
more
asset
based-
and
we
add
that
fourth
section
around
healing.
AE
AE
How
are
we
going
to
align
that
work
amongst
all
those
different,
really
interdepartmentalists,
not
all
on
your
team?
How
are
we
going
to
align
that?
So
those
are
my
two
questions.
I.
AF
Think,
thank
you
councilmember
Esparza
on
your
first
question.
So
if
we
think
about
like
the
program
evaluation
for
both
best
in
Youth,
Intervention
Services,
those
will
those
will
will
be
established
through
the
RFP
and
those
will
be
at
the
program
level
at
the
objective
level.
AF
The
reason
why
we're
taking
probably
we'll
take
the
first
six
months
of
next
calendar
year
to
work
on
that
is
that
that's
really
a
collective
effort
like,
for
example,
recidivism
right.
We
are
going
to
need
to
work
with
our
partners.
Prns
can't
say
we
think
there
should
be
a
five
percent
reduction
in
recidivism
or
25
reduction.
AF
We're
going
to
need
to
do
that
collectively
so
that
it's
layers
of
of
metrics,
but
at
the
objective
level
we're
going
to
do
that
with
our
partners
and
you
know,
usually
something
achievable
attainable,
but
also
aspirational,
and
then
at
the
program
program
level
we
will
be
doing
that
through
the
RFP
process.
I
hope
that
answers
your
question
well,.
AE
AF
Right
I
know
I'm
I'm,
sorry
so
through
the
best
RFQ
that
will
be
released
and
through
sort
of
the
best
accountability
Staffing
that
you
were
very
helpful
in
obtaining
for
us.
You
know
we'll
be
working
with
the
schools,
the
providers
in
identifying
those
those
goals
that
we
absolutely
will
be
putting
into
that
RFQ
in
the
final
contracts
with
them.
So
I
can
the
great
thing
about
this
plan
and
the
great
thing
with
okrs
is
that
they're
iterative
right?
AF
So
we
can
establish
them
for
this
year
and
then
we
can
look
at
them
again
and
chew
them
up
with
the
best
contracts
as
well.
So
what
I
would
say
is
they're
not
they're,
not
static
and
that
yes,
we,
we
should
really
start
with
something
in
the
first
six
months
and
then
we
can
also.
We
can
always
go
back
and
realign
it,
and
we
will
do
that.
E
Councilmember,
let
me
let
me
wean
on
the
second
part
of
the
question
and
and
if
I'm,
if
I'm
understanding
your
question
correctly,
it's
around
kind
of
the
alignment
of
budget
and
and
the
way
we're
we're
approaching
this
work
is,
you
know,
first
and
foremost,
is,
is
really
updating
the
Strategic
plan
to
really
take
do
a
deep
dive
on
really
trying
to
address
more
of
the
systemic
in
the
cut
and
the
root
causes
that
lead
to
community
violence,
especially
amongst
our
young
people.
E
You
know
one
of
our
public
speakers
talked
about
Mr
Soto
talked
about
knowing
about
gangs.
Well,
it's
not
enough
to
just
know
about
gangs.
E
We
got
to
do
something
about
helping
our
kids
out
of
Gang
Lifestyle,
because
we
know
that
there's
nothing
positive
that
comes
out
of
it,
and
so
this
is
what
this
plan
reflects,
and
so,
first
and
foremost,
it's
about
really
kind
of
re-upping
and
really
doubling
down
on
on
kind
of
creating
a
new
vision
that
really
addresses
and
focuses
on
on
young
people
and
helping
them
find
a
way
out
if
that's
what
they
want.
E
Secondly,
from
a
budget
standpoint,
we're
also
connecting
this
work
to
other
city-wide
efforts,
for
example,
The,
Children
and
Youth
master
plan
work
that
has
been
done
right
now
on
a
parallel
track.
We
really
see
the
connection
here.
We
really
see
that
at
the
end
of
both
processes,
we'll
have
a
service
delivery
Continuum.
That
starts.
E
Work
group
as
well
right
recommendations.
Looking
at
ways
to
de-escalate,
you
know
de-escalate
further
incarceration
incarceration
to
begin
with,
looking
at
ways
of
really
redirecting
that
pipeline,
making
sure
we're
connecting
into
County
services
such
as
Behavioral
Health
mental
health
and
doing
it
in
a
more
holistic
and
comprehensive
way.
And
then
we
want
to
tie
all
this
together
so
that
when
we
go
forward
through
the
city's
budget
process,
we're
going
forward
with
well
thought
out
vetted
recommendations
that
leverage
these
resources
so
that
we're
not
doing
one-offs.
E
It's
not
like
the
gang
task
force
is
doing
work
here.
Children
and
Youth
is
doing
work
over
here.
Then
we
have
reimagining
over
here,
but
rather
we
weave
it
all
together
in
a
more
holistic
manner,
where
we
get
a
greater
leverage,
greater
economies
of
scale
and
ultimately
make
a
greater
impact
for
the
community.
So
that's
kind
of
our
our
strategic
approach.
Around
budget
alignment.
AE
I
and
I
like
that
first
slide
that
or
the
first
graphic
that
that
Illustrated,
what
you
said
about
aligning
this
work
with
the
work
that
the
city's
doing
one
of
the
things
that
has
happened
over
and
over
Through
The
Years,
though,
is
you
know
an
incident
will
happen
and
folks
will
go
out
and
they'll
find
a
family.
You
know,
Hey,
Mom
and
Dad
are
working
or
mom
is
working,
three
jobs
and
she's
not
around.
AE
AE
You
know
to
allow
that
mentoring
time,
that's
so
needed
or
or
alternatives
to
to
some
of
the
other
things
that
kids
are
doing,
but
and
that's
what
I'm
getting
at
is
that
that
poverty,
where
year
after
year,
the
team
scrambles
to
like
call
somebody,
because
somebody
knows
somebody
or
hey
this
is
where
we
can
get
that
resource.
AE
E
Yeah
yeah,
that
is
correct
and,
and
you
know
one
of
the
things
that
you
know
if
you
take
a
look
at
these
documents,
one
of
the
things
that
we're,
adding,
especially
in
the
work
of
Children
and
Youth
master
plan,
is
a
whole
strategy
around
access
to
economic,
equity
or
Economic
Opportunity,
because
we
know
that,
if
we're
gonna,
you
know
try
to
dismantle
and
deconstruct
the
poverty
cycles,
and
we
know
that
a
lot
of
these
issues
are
really
entrenched
in
poverty
cycles
that
we're
going
to
have
to
provide
other
opportunity
Pathways
as
an
alternative,
and
so
we're
really
pulling
in
many
of
our
work
to
future
work.
E
We've
been
reaching
out
to
the
the
corporate
sector
because,
as
many
of
us
know,
Silicon
Valley
may
as
well
be
2
000
miles
away
for
for
some
of
our
young
people,
because
it's
so
that's
how
distant
it
is
in
terms
of
you
know
their
current
reality,
and
so
our
goal
is
to
try
to
really
work
with
Community,
starting
with
inside
the
city
in
terms
of
inner
depart
better
inner
Department
coordination,
work
with
our
community
stakeholders
and
and
together,
create
these
opportunity.
E
Pathways
that
address
you
know
these
different
poverty
issues
such
as
the
examples
you
just
gave
and
again
we
know
it's,
it's
not
an
easy
task
and
we
know
that
it's
an
expensive
proposition
as
well,
but
where
our
goal
is,
is
to
come
up
with
recommendations
that
are
implementable
and
that
that
we'll
be
able
to
measure
and
track
and
and
show
performance.
But
it
is
going
to
be
a
heavy
lift,
and
we
make
no
bones
about
that.
E
But
we
think
it's
the
right
thing
to
do,
and
we
also
know
that
this
isn't
the
only
part
of
the
solution.
It's
part
of
a
greater
puzzle
right
when
it
comes
down
to
to
really
trying
to
lift
other
others
in
our
community
up.
But
this
is
one
part
of
the
bigger
puzzle.
AE
Thank
you
and
lastly,
I'll
I'll
leave
with
this.
Is
you
know
if
times
get
hard?
AE
These
you
know
opportunity
neighborhoods
need
to
be
the
the
last
areas
that
we
cut
as
a
city
so
that
we
don't
repeat
the
mistakes
of
the
past.
AE
You
know
because
then
what
happens
is
you
have
council
member
Carrasco
coming
in
and
advocating,
for
you
know,
to
bring
back
a
program
in
her
District
in
a
very
high
need,
Community
to
help
her
kids,
you
have
a
council
member
adenos
who
fights
tooth
and
nail
for
Welch,
Park
and
I.
You
know
work
to
reopen
fair
and
guess
what
those
are
some
of
the
busiest
places
Citywide
where
those
kids
and
families
need
it
the
most,
and
so,
as
we
you
know
in
the
future,
we
really
need
to
shift
our
thinking.
AE
AH
Chair
just
quick
point
of
order:
sorry
John
cicerelle
here:
can
we
ask
that
you
also
cross
references
to
the
city
council
on
January
24th?
Please.
C
.,
and
is
that,
okay
with
the
secondary,
wonderful
all
right,
so
then
we're
gonna
move
on
to
my
questions.
Unless
my
colleagues
have
any
of
their
own.
C
I
was
thinking
about
what
council
member
Esparza
was
talking
about
when
she
was
speaking
and
I
thought
about
what?
How
are
we
also
lining
up,
because
she
talked
about
the
best
funded
agencies
and
how
we
were
going
to
align
outcomes
with
those
folks
you
provided
that
answer.
But
how
are
we
also
aligning
our
objectives
and
our
outcomes
with
some
of
the
programs
that
are
already
well
established
in
the
county
system?.
AF
So,
thank
you
for
that
council,
member
Arenas,
so
through
that
kind
of
Top
Line
objective
right,
whether
it's
increasing
protective
factors
on
the
prevention
and
reducing
risk
factors
improving
diversion,
we
would
be
doing
that
collectively
with
our
partners
right,
because
we
have
our
programs,
they
have
their
programs,
they
have
their
community-based
programs
right.
So
that's
why
we
didn't
put
in
a
metric,
because
we
didn't
again
we
as
the
city-
and
we
didn't
have
time
frankly,
I'm
sorry
with
our
community
County
Partners
to
dive
into
that.
AF
But
we
need
to
do
that
together
and
so
that
they're
bringing
again
sort
of
that
rolling
up
to
us.
So
we
can.
What
is
it
10?
What
is
it
20?
So
it's
going
to
be
sort
of
a
top
line
that.
AI
C
AF
C
Diversion,
but
this
is
all
once
things
have
gone
down.
The
wrong
path
is
what
I'm
saying
it's,
not
prevention
dollars,
and
so
the
reason
I
bring.
That
up
is
because
we
need
to
make
sure
that
we're
connected
with
the
folks
who
are
in
the
county
doing
some
of
the
the
the
intervention
services
that
they
have,
that
we
don't
need
to
reinvent
right-
and
this
is
a
lot
of
that
comes
from
the
probation
department
and
I
I'll.
Be
honest.
C
I
think
there
is
a
true
disconnect
between
a
probation
department
and
and
the
city
of
San
Jose
and
our
programs,
maybe
at
a
higher
level
people
are
talking,
but
I
just
don't
see
the
programs
really
integrating
in
a
way
that
folks,
outside
of
us
can
see
this
as
a
Continuum
of
Care
that
blends
in
so
well
that
they
don't
know
the
difference
between
city
and
county.
C
So
I
I
just
like
to
point
that
piece
out
and
and
offer
to
be
supportive
on
the
on
the
county
side
and
lesson
next
month,
we'll
be
serving
you
differently,
I'll
be
serving
you
differently
and
so
I
really
hope
that
what
we're
doing
here
is
also
translates
over
to
the
county
side
in
a
way
that
is
most
helpful,
but
I
know
the
Youth
and
Child
master
plan
is
going
to
is
attempting
to
answer
and
and
address
a
lot
of
these
social
core
issues
that
that
some
of
us
brought
up
and
I.
C
E
Yeah,
you
carry
you
know
and
on
that
point
I
will
say.
Actually
we
actually
have
a
meeting
tomorrow
boom
on
precisely
this.
E
Is
the
meeting
with
with
many
of
the
director
the
department
heads
over
at
the
county,
yeah
and
all
centered
around
how
we
align
this
strategic
plan?
Children,
youth
master
plan
all
centered
around?
E
How
do
we
better
build
that
system
that
serves
our
children
and
families
and
so
yeah
I'm
sure
it's
going
to
be
I
I'm
sure
it's
going
to
be
one
of
many
more
meetings
that
we're
going
to
need,
because
to
your
point,
I
think,
there's
a
lot
of
informal
relationships,
but
we
really
need
to
formalize
them
more
strategically
and
codify
those
more
yeah.
C
C
One
of
the
issues
here
is
that
not
that
you're
not
talking
at
your
level
with
folks
on
County
side
and
and
our
cbo's
and
any
other
counterparts,
but
that
the
program
folks
are
being
brought
in
and
that
it
shouldn't
all
necessarily
be
top
down
right
that
that
some
of
the
folks
who
are
actually
doing
the
services
have
a
lot
to
offer,
especially
if
they've
been
there
for
a
really
long
time.
C
So
I
would
really
love
to
see
us
kind
of
mix
it
up
a
little
bit
and
bring
folks
in
because
they
keep
us
grounded
in
terms
of
what
we're
really
doing.
We
might
be
talking
a
lot
of
a
Continuum
of
services
and
they
might
say
guess
what
what
our
families
are
really
worried
about
is
such
and
such
so
so
anyways.
That's
my
feedback.
I
really
appreciate
what
you're
doing
I
know.
This
is
not.
C
This
is
just
one
of
many
iterations
of
of
this
plan
and
I
know.
This
is
going
to
be
looking
very
different,
I
hope,
because
it's
going
to
be
a
lot
more
comprehensive
and
it's
going
to
reflect
a
lot
of
our
partners,
feedback
and
and
the
roles
that
they
play
in
making
sure
that
they
support
our
youth
in
a
way
that
that
is
going
to
ultimately
heal
and
I,
really
love
that
you
included
that,
because
that's
I
think
that's
an
aspect
that
we
haven't
really
been
addressing.
C
C
You
wonderful,
so
we
are
going
to
we're
moving
right
along
to
item
number
three,
and
this
is
this
is
D3,
and
this
is
the
urban
Confluence
Silicon
Valley
project
status
report
and
we
have
John
yeah.
C
AH
Okay
good
afternoon
so
today
we
have
an
update
for
you
on
the
urban
Confluence
Silicon
Valley
Project,
with
me
to
my
left,
Sarah
sellers,
our
interim
deputy
director
for
our
Capital
program
in
parks
and
rec,
and
to
her
left
Steve
borkenhagen,
who
I
believe
the
council
members
know,
but
for
our
audience
he's
the
executive
director
of
the
San
Jose
Light,
Tower
Corporation,
and
he
will
be
walking
through
this
presentation
that
events.
G
G
S
of
innovation,
symbolizes
people
coming
together,
working
together,
standing
together,
I
won't
spend
much
time
on
these
slides
because
you've
had
multiple
contacts
on
this
before
the
winning
team
was
fair.
Hares
and
Belen
Perez
De
Juan
from
Spain
and
Perth
Australia
on
their
team
is
the
wonderful
structural
engineer.
Ron
clemencik
who's
done
many
important
projects,
including
Salesforce
and
Chase
Center
in
San,
Francisco
and
really
projects
around
the
world.
G
So
the
the
meat
of
what
we're
here
today
to
talk
to
you
about
is
allowing
us
to
move
to
Plaza
de
Cesar
Chavez
instead
of
Arena
green
after
doing
further
work
at
Arena
green,
we
came
to
the
conclusion
that
it
was
not
the
best
site
for
us
going
back
to
the
beginning.
We
always
thought
Plaza
de
Cesar
Chavez
was
the
best
site
for
our
project.
G
So
during
the
last
year
at
once,
our
board
made
the
decision.
We
want
to
look
at
other
sites.
We
reanalyzed
all
the
sites
that
we
had
previously
studied,
along
with
many
others.
Really.
Every
site
that
could
possibly
handle
a
landmark
structure
in
our
downtown
and
we
decided
that
it
was
important
that
we
work
with
the
family
of
Cesar
Chavez.
If
we
were
going
to
do
a
project
in
a
park
called
Plaza
de
Cesar
Chavez,
we
did
that
four
members
of
the
boards
of
either
Chavez
Family
Vision
or
the
Cesar
Chavez
Foundation
have
joined
our
board.
G
We've
expanded
to
14
members
from
the
previous
three
that
we
had
a
couple
of
years
ago.
We've
also
been
working
diligently
with
all
the
users
of
the
park
stakeholders
of
the
park
neighbors
of
the
park.
Anyone
who
we
think
really
has
interest
in
the
park.
Most
of
them
have
been
very
supportive
of
our
view.
G
We
believe
this
will
be
a
powerful
Economic,
Development
driver
for
our
downtown
and
maybe
most
importantly,
give
us
a
beautiful
object
and
something
that
we
can
all
be
proud
of
and
identify
a
land
identifiable
Landmark
around
the
world.
That
was
really
our
initial
motivation.
When
we
began
this,
it
doesn't
make
sense
that
the
10th
largest
city
in
America
has
nothing
that's
really
identifiable
around
the
world
somewhere.
I
read
that
San
Jose
was
the
least
identifiable
of
the
top
25
cities
in
America.
G
G
So
our
hope
next
Our
Hope
for
next
steps,
are
to
obtain
the
formal
approval
of
the
entire
Council
to
explore.
Placing
breeds
at
Plaza
de
Cesar
Chavez
continue
to
meet
with
Community
stakeholders
and
then
work
into
a
really
formal
public
Outreach
process
and
try
to
take
this.
What
I
would
consider
to
be
a
mediocre
Park
currently
and
really
turn
it
into
something
spectacular
for
all
the
reasons
I
talked
about
previously
happy
to
answer
any
questions.
Thank
you.
O
3.,
yes,
Paul
silke
from
the
Horseshoe
I'm
going
to
try
to
be
as
polite
as
I
can.
But
what
I
just
heard
is
this
man
safe?
Oh
well,
there's
nothing
in
the
park
that
honors
Cesar
Chavez
just
his
name.
O
This
is
the
Cavalier
ignorance
that
comes
to
my
city
and
disrespects
my
elders
and
just
respects
the
legacy
of
the
Chicano
and
the
farmworkers
movement.
It's
not
that
name
enough.
You
can
speak
that
in
Asia.
You
could
speak
it
in
China.
You
could
speak
it
in
Europe.
You
can
speak
it
in
South,
America
and
people
will
know
the
name
of
Cesar
Chavez,
and
it
is
enough
believe
me,
it
is
enough.
Secondly,.
O
On
the
other
end
of
the
park
is
in
honor
of
Cesar
Chavez
it
anchors
it.
What
it
is
is
the
representation
of
the
indigenous
roots
of
Cesar
Chavez.
You
see
this
is
the
kind
of
ignorance
of
these
gelato's
coming
to
my
city
and
disrespecting
my
culture
and
disrespecting
my
people
and
disrespecting
my
elders
and
disrespecting
my
legacy
now.
This
Council
has
a
lot
of
Chicanos
on
it
and
we're
watching.
O
We
are
watching-
oh,
no,
no
you're,
Mexican
immigrants,
but
we're
still
watching,
because
you
are
still
connected
to
that
Legacy,
because
you've
claimed
it
proudly
and
you're
gonna
allow
this
dude
to
come
in
and
disrespect
that
space
like
that
and
the
disrespects.
These
achievements
like
that
right
here
on
this
forum,
challenge
man.
You
know
what
dude
steam,
pork
and
engine
take
your
Urban
Confluence
and
take
it
out
of
your
homeboy,
not
want
it,
don't
want
it
don't
care
about
it,
take
it
and
leave
dude
you're
a
guest
in
solid
wall.
Remember
that
thank
you.

Good
afternoon
my
name
is
Ronnie
Fisher
and
I'm.
The
environmental
advocacy
Advocate
excuse
me:
environmental
advocacy
assistant
for
the
Santa
Clara
Valley
Audubon
Society,
the
Santa
Clara
Valley
Audubon
Society
has
engaged
in
the
Light
Tower
project
since
its
Inception,
because
light
at
night
is
harmful
to
all
living
things
and
to
our
ecosystems,
upsetting
circadian
rhythms,
vital
to
Health
on
every
level.
We
have
been
consistent
in
our
opposition
to
this
and
similar
illuminated
structures.
AI
AI
Recently
we
learned
that,
due
to
environmental
concerns
with
the
riparian
corridor,
regular
regulatory
challenges
and
air
traffic
noise,
the
proponents
of
the
project
are
no
longer
seeking
to
place
it
in
Arena
green
and
are
now
hoping
to
build
their
Breeze
of
innovation
that
Plaza
de
Cesar
Chavez.
Instead,
we
are
relieved
that
the
riparian
ecosystem
is
no
longer
the
target
of
this
project.
AI
We
continue
to
be
concerned
with
the
potential
of
the
project
to
interfere
with
bird
migration
and
to
attract
birds
to
a
location
where
they
are
at
risk
of
collision
with
buildings
and
glass
over
the
development
of
this
endeavor.
The
proponents
of
the
project
were
tone
deaf
to
community
concern
and
blind
to
ecological,
equity
and
cultural
considerations.

D
AG
Hi
Blair
Beekman
here
thanks
a
lot
for
this
item.
I
was
just
writing.
I
have
some
words
to
speak
in
another
local
government
meeting
VTA
meeting
today
in
transitioning
to
San
Diego,
there's
a
lot
of
similar
architecture
same
the
same
Architects
from
the
turn
of
the
century,
and
even
today
that
build
buildings
in
San,
Diego
and
downtown
built
in
Downtown
San
Jose
as
well.
AG
So
you
know
it's
an
interesting
connection
that
San
Diego
I
think
has
taken
a
bit
more
care
in
the
state
of
their
buildings
that
San
Jose
is
lacking
a
bit
at
this
point.
Good
luck!
How
you
can
work
on
that
issue
and
how
that
can
relate
to
this
issue
and
Community
Pride
and
downtown
Pride
I.
You
know
the
BART
example
is
a
perfect
example
of
a
real
nice
old
building
in
Downtown
that
I
I
really
hope.
AG
We
can
work
to
Creative
Solutions
to
save
that
building
with
57
seconds
now
that
you're
the
person
who
just
spoke
from
the
Audubon
Society,
he
had
a
lot
of
interesting
ways
to
to
present.
You
know
opposing
viewpoints
on
the
subject
and
I
thank
her
I
I,
I'm
questioning
you
know
as
much
as
the
light
tower
has
a
significance
and
importance
and
I
can
understand
it.
AG
You
know
it's
just
doing
something
really
uncomfortable
to
people
and
I
personally,
I
like
the
way
Cesar
Chavez
park
is
as
it
is
now.
Thank
you
that
you've
considered
how
to
move
it
from
the
arena.
Greens
area,
how
about
you
know
the
the
South
First
Street
Artisan
area?
Would
that
be
a
place
to
put
it
because
I
think
Cesar
show
is
part,
there's
a
certain
organic
feeling
that
it
it
invites
all
parts
of
the
community
that
I
feel
a
light.
AG
AK
AK
First
of
all,
because
of
the
place
that
it
was
situated
where
the
Confluence
we're
happy
that
has
changed,
but
we
still
have
concerns
about
the
light
at
night,
especially
so
much
light
and
pointing
upwards.
This
is
still
going
to
be
bad
for
human
health
as
well
as
Wildlife
health,
so
we
are
glad
the
Project's
move,
but
we
still
oppose
the
bright
lights,
which
at
one
time
the
proponents
of
the
project
told
us
would
not
be
part
of
the
plan
nor
part
of
the
intercepted
project.
AK
They've
gone
back
on
that
we're
also
still
concerned
about
the
lack
of
listening
to
the
public
by
the
promoters
of
this
I
was
in
a
meeting
last
week
in
which
I
raised
the
question
about
the
dangers
of
artificial
light
at
night,
I
was
told
by
the
moderator
that
we
should
keep
a
positive
vibe
quote
when
I
included
a
link
to
the
recent
Audubon
and
Sierra
Club
Symposium
on
artificial
light
at
night,
I
was
ejected
from
the
meeting
several
other
people
once
I
was
first
told
to
be
quiet.
AK
Ask
why
public
comments
and
public
speech
was
being
shut
down
and
then,
when
I
was
ejected
from
the
meeting,
then
of
course
I
couldn't
see
what
else
was
happening.
I
think
that's
a
pretty
clear
indication
of
the
continuing
lack
of
the
project
promoters
open
and
acceptance
to
the
public
voice.
I
would
hope
that
you
would
all
keep
that
in
mind.
Thank
you
very
much.
D
V
Good
afternoon
I'm
Gene
Dresden
a
park
advocate
in
2018.
The
city
conducted
a
study
of
saint
of
Plaza
de
Cesar
Chavez.
V
I
worry
that
these
known
events
that
bring
so
much
to
downtown
in
the
way
of
vibrancy
in
dollars
could
choose
to
relocate
and
in
the
breeze
presentation
they
argue
that
their
icon
will
bring
additional
dollars,
but
with
a
net
loss
of
events,
I,
don't
see
how
that
balances.
I
also
think
that
there's
a
fallacy
that
a
large
structure
will
truly
attract
the
many
hundreds
of
people
or
thousands.
V
There
will
be
people
who
will
come
to
the
convention
center
and
then
walk
across
the
street
and
look
at
it,
but
I
doubt
people
will
travel
cross-country
to
look
at
it.
People
point
to
the
Chicago
being,
but
forget
that
people
are
going
to
Chicago
first
and
then
the
bean
and
that
the
being
exists
inside
Millennium,
Park
and
not
alone.
H
Yeah
I
just
want
to
First
say
thank
you
Steve
and
the
group
for
all
the
work
I
for
one
think
this
is
a
beautiful
design.
I
know
that
the
topic
of
bringing
it
to
Cesar
Chavez
park,
Plaza
Park,
was
one
that
was
mentioned
earlier,
I
think
maybe
a
meeting
or
two
or
three
ago.
So
this
is
fairly
new.
H
It
seems
to
me
that
you
all
are
still
working
out
the
Kinks
and
the
details
having
proper
conversations,
which
I
think
are
important,
obviously
read
the
letter
from
Christmas
in
the
Park
and
see
that
they
have
some
concerns
about
just
the
the
the
existence
of
the
obviously
the
long-standing
event
that
they
continue
to
have
for
I,
think
40
plus
years,
which
I
assume
Steve.
You
all
are
going
to
have
those
appropriate
conversations
and
figure
out
how,
if
any,
there's
a
way
to
coexist
there
is
that
correct.
G
Certainly,
yes,
we've
had
lots
of
conversations
we're
going
to
have
more,
including
full
community
outreach
where
we
can
get
everyone
to
speak.
Who
wants
to
speak
and
our
goal
was
to
accommodate
everyone.
Gene
said
something
about
Nestle
net
loss
of
events.
That
would
never
be
Our
intention.
The
intention
would
be
a
tenfold
increase
in
the
number
of
events
and
have
every
every
group
in
the
community
able
to
use
the
park
in
a
in
a
really
successful
way.
Okay,.
H
And
and
my
assumption
is
that
the
any
sort
of
anything
related
to
well?
Obviously,
the
park
is
named
after
Chavez,
but
the
expectation
that
I
would
have
and
I'm
sure
the
council
would
have,
and
I'm
probably
sure
you
acknowledge
is
that
anything
having
to
do
with
Cesar
Chavez
would
only
be
enhanced,
not
diminished.
Correct.
G
We
wouldn't
have
four
members
of
the
Chavez
organizations
joining
our
board
and
supporting
us
if
we
didn't
have
as
a
goal
to
appropriately
honest
ASA
Chavez
and
have
far
more
in
the
park
than
it's.
Currently
there
and
I'll
say
it
again
that
other
than
his
name
on
the
step,
really
there's
nothing.
Significant
I
went
to
the
park
on
birthday
and
there
was
no
one
there
I
thought
that
was
strange,
so
our
goal
would
be
to
activate,
activate
and
activate
more
for
all
of
our
citizens.
Okay,
well.
H
H
AH
No
not
at
this
point
yeah
we'll
do
a
separate
item,
bring
it
to
council
and
then
that'll
be
the
newly
seated
Council,
so
we'll
we'll
probably
do
a
little
more
history
for
some
of
the
newer
members.
Okay,.
H
AC
Oh
second,
let
me
follow
up
on
that
question,
though,
when
you
said
come
back
to
council
you're
talking
about
coming
back
just
to
at
this
point,
have
the
whole
Council
ratify
the
action
today,
which
is
to
further
explore.
There
won't
be
any
more
information
at
that
point.
Yet
that's
a
process.
It's.
AC
G
Get
to
the
Finish
Line
on
this
council
member,
probably
is
in
the
four
to
five
year
range:
we're
going
to
have
a
probably
a
year
and
a
half
of
sequa.
At
some
point,
we
have
lots
of
fundraising
to
do
after
we
do
lots
of
community
outreach
and
work
with
people
who
care
to
come
back
to
council
with
ideas
to
make
the
park
better,
which
of
course,
you'd
have
to
approve
so
we'll
probably
be
back
to
council
four
or
five
times
in
the
next
four
or
five
years.
AC
Okay,
yeah
thanks
and
I.
You
know
what,
while
I
think
that
we
need
to
figure
out
other
ways
to
activate
Arena
green
and
the
Guadalupe
River
area.
There's
always
been
some
discomfort.
I
think
that
I've
had
about
that
location
for
some
of
the
reasons
that
we
heard
and
I
think
a
downtown
location
right
in
the
middle
of
developed
area
makes
more
sense.
I'm
too,
concerned.
I
am
also
concerned
about
the
space,
but
that's
part
of
the
thing
you're
going
to
work
out.
AC
It
also
occurs
to
me
that
sort
of
the
overall
context
of
Saint,
James,
Park
and
Cesar
Chavez
park
together
kind
of
is
important.
I
mean
there's
ways
to
be
able
to
figure
out
how
to
to
collectively
utilize
the
downtown
park
space
for
all
the
activities
that
we
want
in
downtown.
So
maybe
it's
a
more
holistic
approach
that
that
would
be
useful.
AE
Thank
you,
I'm
just
going
to
make
some
comments
and
then
I
have
a
question.
You
know
the
legacy
of
Cesar
Chavez
is
the
people
right.
It's
the
people
and
Community
organizing
Gathering
celebrating
taking
action.
That's
part
of
the
Legacy
got
it.
That
is
really
his
legacy.
AE
That
has
continued
to
endure
this
Plaza,
which
does
have
a
statue
in
it
to
commemorate
his
ancestry,
and
his
Heritage
is,
is
important
as
a
city
Gathering
space,
which
includes
Christmas
in
the
Park
and
to
me
it
is
absolutely
crucial
to
meet
with
Christmas
in
the
Park
Christmas
in
the
Park,
is
an
enormously
important
event,
not
just
for
downtown,
but
for
the
city,
it's
as
the
city
learned
where
we
tried
to
cut
it.
AE
What
was
it
a
dozen
years
ago,
or
so
during
the
recession,
we
learned
how
important
that
event
is
to
the
city
and
to
the
region,
and
so
we
should
take
care
not
to
do
anything
that
is
going
to
hurt
Christmas
in
the
Park.
However,
the
Blasta
is
also
used
for
a
lot
of
other
community,
organizing
Community
Gathering
events.
It's
used
for
protests,
it's
used
for
celebrations.
AE
AE
You
know
it
must
accommodate
the
community
use
of
any
space
that
it
is
in
I
heard
one
thing
today
that
really
alarmed
me
in
terms
of
Community
input
into
this
process,
and
this
is
a
question
for
John
ciccarelli
I'm,
because
this
is
city
land.
This
is
City
space.
AE
What
are
the
requirements
once
a
project
moves
forward?
What
are
the
requirements
that
we
put
forward
as
a
city
in
terms
of
a
community
input
process?.
AH
So
I
think
two,
maybe
two
meetings
or
three
meetings
ago.
We
were
given
more
specific
direction
from
the
Council
on
who
they
wanted
to
see
us
talking
to
and
what
that
outreach
program
should
look
like
and
how
it
should
be
funded.
It
has
since
been
funded.
We
were
ready
to
embark
on
that
larger
plan
when
it
was
decided
to
re-look
at
the
location
in
Arena
green
and
see
if
the
council
would
be
okay
with
re-examining
Cesar
Chavez.
So
that's
where
we
stand,
we've
not
embarked
on
it,
but
it's
quite
robust
I.
AH
AE
So,
on
Tuesday
we
had
a
discussion
at
the
Council
on
whether
a
process
should
be
city-led
or
developer-led,
and
there
was
a
robust
discussion
around
the
city's
role
in
in
getting
Community
input
on
a
process
I'm
concerned
about
community
members
and
organizations
who
are
Partners
to
the
city,
trying
to
be
part
of
the
process
being
ejected
or
not
being
allowed
to
give
their
opinion
and
if
they
want
to
say
hey.
This
is
a
100
million
dollar
bird
killer.
AE
You
know
it's
a
free
country
that
we're
trying
to
select
input,
and
you
know
that's
that's
a
part
of
the
process
if
they
say
they
love
it.
That's
part
of
the
process
and
really
all
of
those
opinions
should
be
included,
and
so
on.
The
process
of
community
input
is
that
is
that
going
to
be
city-led.
AH
No,
that
was
not
Our
intention.
Our
intention
was
to
be
the
partner
in
that
process,
but
that
The,
Light,
Tower
Corporation
would
be
leading
the
community
engagement
setting
up
the
meetings.
But
you
know
I
can't
verify
what
that
individual
said
in
public
comment
or
not
whether
that's
true,
but
obviously
that
is
not
in
with
that
does
not
respect
the
process
that
we
require
in
our
city
So.
AH
That,
obviously,
would
not
be
something
that
I
would
expect
to
happen
in
a
meeting
or
obviously,
unless,
someone's
being
you
know,
physically
disruptive
and
causing
problems.
Sometimes
people
have
to
have
to
leave,
but
people
having
differing
opinions
is
not
something
that's
going
to
result
in
anybody
having
to
leave
a
meeting
or
not
have
their
voice
heard.
AE
To
make
sure
that
when
this
comes
to
the
full
Council,
that
the
council
reviews
the
community
input
process
and
and
in
particular
how
the
community
meetings
are
are
done
and
how
that
information
is
shared
with
the
city?
Is
that
included
or
do?
Is
that
already
in
your
plan,
or
do
I
need
to
add
that
do
a
friendly
Amendment.
AH
Yeah,
we
would
intend
to
report
back
to
this
committee
with
that
Community
process,
so
that
there's
time
to
review
and
decide
was
that
enough
or
not
you
know
or
if
we
hurt
we're
hearing
things,
and
we
want
you
to
do
a
little
more
then
that
can
be
part
of
that
discussion
at
that
time.
But,
yes,
we
would
be
reporting
back
on
all
of
that
Community
process.
G
Good
council
member,
as
far
as
the
the
speaker
earlier,
who
said
that
he
wasn't
allowed
to
speak,
we
were
having
a
private
fundraiser
in
which
he
and
other
opponents
were
trying
to
make
their
their
voice
heard.
This
is
a
private
fundraiser.
I
want
to
point
out:
we've
had
probably
somewhere
between
10
and
20
public
Outreach
events
over
the
last
five
years
at
all
of
our
public
Outreach,
every
citizen
in
the
community
can
say
anything
he
or
she
wants.
We
have
never
stifled
anything.
AE
You
know
that
clarification
I
think,
since
this
is
a
an
important
I,
think
that
there's
a
lot
of
discussion
being
had
around
this,
and
when
was
this
going
to
come
to
the
full
Council.
AE
Not
because
I
disagree
with
councilmember
Jimenez
I,
just
don't
think
there's
a
way
to
do
a
friendly,
Amendment
I
wanted
to
do
substitute
motion
to
accept
the
report
and
then
refer
this
to
the
full
Council,
as
opposed
to
the
committee,
let's
just
say
by
mid-February
and
that's
the
motion.
H
C
Was
coming
back
to
hold
on
a
second
clarification
here?
What
you
said
it
was
that
John?
What
you
said
was
that
it
was
going
to
come
back
to
council,
but
the
direction
that
the
a
committee
gave
today
would
be
the
direction
that
you
would
be
heating
until
you
came
back
to
council,
which
would
be
to
explore
the
Cesar
Chavez,
Plaza,
Park
location,
correct.
AH
I'm
not
sure
so
I'm
gonna
just
restate
so
so
our
plan
is
to
take
this
very
presentation
in
this
very
conversation
to
the
full
Council
in
a
little
over
a
month
in
end
of
January,
beginning
of
February,
same
conversation,
no
new
recommendations
or
asks
just
full
counsel,
getting
getting
being
able
to
discuss
this
item
assuming
they
agree
and
say,
yep
go
ahead,
keep
exploring
this!
AH
That's
the
trigger
to
begin
all
this
community
process
and
then
at
the
conclusion
of
that
we'll
be
checking
back
in
with
this
committee
to
talk
about
that
receive
any
new
direction.
Do
you
need
to
go,
do
more
and
then
once
we've
wrapped
that
up,
it
would
probably
be
back
to
council
to
say
well
here's
what
we
heard.
Here's!
What
the
next
step
is
we're
asking
to
do
so
in
the
immediate
front
of
us
is
full
counsel.
AI
C
Substitute
or
if
you
still
want
to
move
forward
with
that
council
member
Sparta
I.
AE
I
didn't
hear
that
either
I
heard
that
this
was
coming
to
committee,
because
I
believe
councilmember
Cohen
had
had
asked
that
clarification
and
I
had
I
had
heard
that
this
was
coming
to
the
committee
and
then
full
counsel.
AE
So
if
this
is
coming
to
the
full
Council
in
late
January
and
February,
that
includes
how
the
community
process
is
going
to
work.
I'm
I'm.
Okay
with
that,
so
there
doesn't
need
to
be
a
substitute
motion.
If
that
is
the
recommendation
of
staff,
I
will
defer
to
council
member
jimenez's
original
motion.
H
I
believe
so
yeah
I
believe
so
yeah
yeah,
okay
I
mean
I
I.
My
assumption
is,
when
you
bring
it
back
the
end
of
January,
there's
probably
going
to
be
a
conversation
at
the
Council
of
a
community
outreach,
although
that
is
not
necessarily
the
prime
reason
for
bringing
it
before
us
it's
to
get
further
Direction
and
just
keep
going
right
that
this
is
you're
on
the
right
track,
essentially
up
or
down
right.
AH
Correct,
and
what
we'll
do
since
this
is
confusing
issue
is
when
we
come
back
to
the
full
Council.
We
will
share
the
previous
Council
Direction
about
that
we've
already
gotten
about
this.
The
robust
Community
process
that
must
occur
so
that
everybody's
sort
of
starting
from
the
same
point,
and
if
we
want
to
modify
that
from
there
obviously
that'll,
be
the
council's
opportunity.
AE
Yeah
yeah
I
defer
to
council
member
jimenez's
motion
and
thank
you
John
for
laying
out
the
community
process
and
including
how
that
information
will
come
back
to
the
city
so
that
the
council
and
Council
committees
can
review
it
yeah
I'm
good.
Thank
you.
C
Great,
thank
you.
Councilmember
Carrasco.
AD
Thank
you
chair.
Thank
you
for
the
clarification.
I
was
going
to
go
down
that
road,
so
we
don't
need
to
go
down
that
rabbit
hole
again.
I
I
do
want
to
express,
though
the
concerns
that
I
have
in
terms
of
the
relocation
and
I
know
that
it's
coming
back
to
City
to
the
full
Council
and
you
know,
half
the
council
will
be
new,
and
so
it's
my
hopes
that
that
staff
will
present
as
part
of
the
of
this
presentation,
the
Elisa
a
skeletal
plan
in
terms
of
Outreach.
AD
AD
I
sometimes
forget
to
mention
or
to
talk
about
or
to
include
Outreach
and
plans
until
someone
kind
of
it
triggers
my
memory
bank
and
in
this
case,
especially
I,
think
it's
critically
important
that
we
include
a
plan
that
the
council
can
go
ahead
and
and
add
to
and
so
I
don't
know
if
that's
already
part
of
the
presentation
or
not
because
I'm
sorry
I.
AD
My
zoom
fell
off,
while
you
were
doing
it,
but
but
I
would
insist
that
that
you
come
back
with
some
sort
of
indication
in
terms
of
the
kind
of
Outreach
and
engagement
that
you'll
be
doing
again.
This
is,
is
a
huge,
a
huge
Endeavor,
a
huge
project
and
relocating
is
a
you
know.
I
I,
don't
think
it's.
It
should
be
in
any
ways
considered
a
done
deal
until
we
hear
from
our
community
in
terms
of
how
they
feel
about.
C
It
thank
you.
I
have
a
couple
of
questions.
C
So
I
know
Nicole
was
in
is
now
no
longer
with
the
city
and
I
know
she
had
a
commitment
of
ensuring
that
she
would
be
the
only
person
assigned
to
to
this
project.
What
how?
How
are
you
keeping
track
of
how
much
time
and
the
workload
that's
included.
AH
So
we
have
it
at
the
council's
direction
from
from
one
of
our
previous
meetings,
we
have
a
funding
mechanism
where
the
light
Tower
Corporation
has
given
the
city
money,
and
we
use
that
money.
We
charge
against
that
for
any
time
that
we're
using
whether
it's
you
know
going
to
community
meetings
and
participating
with
that
reviewing
documents
Etc,
so
that
is
a
funded
activity.
Currently,
no.
C
I
understand
that
it's
a
funded
activity,
what
I'm
asking
is
what
has
been
the
impact?
What
what
has
been
the
workload
we'll
we'll
ensure
that
we
get
reimbursed
for
the
work
that
we're
doing
and
I'm
not
so
worried
about
that?
What
I'm
worried
about
is
that
it's
taken
away,
and
this
is
something
that
I
said
from
the
very
beginning.
This
is
no
surprise
to
you,
sir
I've
not
been
in
agreement
with
this
project.
C
I,
don't
see
how
it
goes,
how
it
is
in
line
with
the
city
of
San
Jose
and
how
it
represents
our
residents,
our
culture
and
and
really
our
identity,
and
so
I
have
asked
this
question
before,
and
that
is
how
are
we
keeping
track
of
of
how
much
we
are
lending
in
terms
of
Staff
time
to
this
project?
So.
AH
AH
Potentially,
just
it
sort
of
depends
on
how
everything's
going
to
sort
itself
out
we're
going
through
recruitment
right
now
for
the
deputy
director
and
then
we'll
decide
at
as
as
the
if,
let's
assume
the
project
is
progressing
depending
on
what
the
needs
are
depends
on
who
the
person
that
might
be
assigned,
for
example,
certain
individuals
might
do
the
community
process.
Other
individuals
would
do
plan
review
for.
C
So
so
you
can't
really
say
that
the
commitment
that
Nicole
verbalized
I
don't
know
two
years
ago
would
be
the
same
kind
of
commitment
or
equal,
the
same
type
of
impact
to
the
prns
staff.
C
AH
It
was
always
known,
I
mean,
for
example,
a
lot
of
the
plan
review
would
be
by
pbce,
not
Parks
and
Rec.
You
know
all
the
eir
and
sequence
stuff:
that's
pbce,
not
Parks
and
Rec.
So
but
it's
funded
and
then
you
know
they
would
have
an
account
to
charge
to
for
their
time.
C
So
here's
where
I'm
I
have
a
bone
to
pick
because
we
have
a
meadow
Fair,
Park
Master
planning
process
and
Angel
I
mentioned
this
to
you.
This
is
something
that
we
work
really
hard.
My
team
and
I
work
really
hard
to
get
funded.
C
Our
Meadow
Fair
Park
has
been
overlooked
for
a
really
long
time
and
you
know
there's
some
development.
That's
happened,
that's
really
exciting
around
it,
which
is
Costco
and
soon
enough.
It's
going
to
be
Kaiser
and
and
and
a
new
residential
area.
Yet
Meadow,
Fair
Park
is
kind
of
left
in
in
the
past.
If
you
will,
there
had
been
promised
a
community
center
that
obviously
wasn't
going
to
happen
and
I
had
to
break
the
news
to
my
community
about
that
when
I
first
came
on.
C
My
concern
is
that
neither
my
team,
my
office
myself,
were
involved
or
asked
to
be
involved
in
the
master
playing
process,
and
that
concerns
me
in
terms
of
workload,
because
that
tells
me
either
where
we're
at
a
Max
and
and
we're
not
engaging
because
of
other
projects
that
are
on
on
now,
and
so
we
actually
learned
about
it
through
Instagram.
It's
how
we
learned
about
this.
So
to
me
it
means
that
maybe
not
Urban
Confluence,
but
certainly
it's
contributing
to
the
workload
that
our
that
our
staff
has.
AH
Yeah
I
would
not
say
Urban
Confluence
is
contributing
to
that
and
that
the
the
metal
Fair
master
plan
for
tonight.
That
was
simply
a
mistake
on
our
behalf
of
not
notifying
the
council
office
so
that
they
could
be
involved
which
I
apologize
for
that
was
not
intended.
That
really
doesn't
have
anything
to
do
with
a
workload.
AH
There
are
projects
that
can
impact
the
workload
that
sort
of
come
in
from
nowhere.
For
example,
all
the
work
we're
doing
up
near
the
airport
because
of
the
faa's
requirements.
That
was
not
work
that
we
planned
for,
and
that
does
have
an
impact,
but
the
urban
Confluence
work
is
not
having
an
impact
on
our
workload.
C
Well,
I
appreciate
that
John
I
think
the
relocation
piece
means
and
represents
for
our
community
of
restart
really
of
this.
This
whole
project,
one
because
it's
connected
to
Cesar,
Travis,
Park
and
while
maybe
the
foundation
has
agreed
to
allow
for
this
to
be
part
of
the
park
it
doesn't
represent,
they
don't
represent
San
Jose
and
they
don't
necessarily
represent
all
of
the
culture
and
the
spirit
of
San
Jose.
C
So
when
you
choose-
or
you
are
considering
a
different
location,
I
think
you
need
to
consider
what
our
community
is
saying
and
there's
already
an
assumption,
an
end
product
that
you
have
for
a
park
that
has
a
lot
of
meaning
and
personally
has
a
lot
of
meaning
to
me.
C
My
dad
was
about
acetyl
and
he
worked
in
the
fields
for
a
very
long
time
during
war
times
when
the
U.S
needed
an
extra
hand
and
I
don't
see
this
project
honoring
folks,
like
myself
and
like
my
parents
and
our
culture
and
actually
I,
think
it's
tone.
Deaf
and
I
think
it's
offensive
to
choose
on
behalf
of
our
community
what
you
think
belongs
and
what
doesn't
belong.
C
So
I
am
going
to
obviously
support
the
motion
on
the
floor
because
it
just
means
that
we're
going
to
move
through
this,
but
I'm
not
supportive
of
the
direction
that
you're
taking
this
project.
Sir
and
I
just
I've
been
honest
with
you
from
the
very
beginning:
I'm
not
going
to
be
any
different
now
so
I'm,
just
letting
you
know
that.
That's
something
that
is
absolutely
to
me
as
a
Mexican-American
offensive
that
you
would
choose
to
have
something
or
have
this
direction
without
even
asking
our
community
what
they
would
like.
C
G
Was
that
music
in
the
park?
Yes
yeah,
we've
already
talked
to
music
in
the
park,
San
Jose,
Jazz
and
I
can't
think
of
any
other
performers
in
the
park.
There
aren't
that
many
events,
I've
I,
haven't
been
able
to
get
a
hold
of
Pride
yet,
and
there
are
a
couple
of
other
small
festivals
but
I
I,
don't
know
the
producers,
but
Our
intention
is
to
is
to
talk
to
all
of
them
and
try
to
improve
the
park
for
all
of
them.
AE
So
I
would
ask
that
the
input
around
Christmas
in
the
Park
be
included
in
the
council
presentation,
because
that
is
such
a
critical
event
for
our
city,
any
design
any
alternate
use
or
any
work
on
it
needs
to
absolutely
work
with
Christmas
in
the
Park
and
then
which
I
I
recognize,
might
put
this
a
little
bit
later,
but
I
think
it's
critical
input
when
discussing
the
use
of
this
space.
And
lastly,
you
know
one
of
the
you
know
there.
AE
There
isn't
one
organization
in
the
city
to
go
to
when
you
say
hey,
you
know
what
I
want
to
talk
to
the
the
people
that
gather
the
people
that
use
this
space,
because
it
is
Cesar
Chavez,
Plaza
right.
It
is
the
plaza
that
carries
his
name,
that
there
isn't
one
organization
that
goes,
that
you
go
to
for
all
the
protests
that
are
held
there
in
the
city
or
or
for
all
the
you
know
when
the
hotel
workers
were
worried
about
whether
they'd
have
a
strike
or
not.
AE
They
had
big
events
there,
because
the
vast
majority
of
workers
are
are
Latino
and
they
chose
to
have
those
events
and
those
giant
meetings
at
the
plaza
and
any
use
of
this
park
needs
to
recognize
that
yes,
Christmas
in
the
Park,
is
absolutely
critical
and
it's
critical
to
our
city
and
and
and
and
generations
actually
of
of
children's
children
and
adults.
AE
H
C
You
all
right,
so
we
are
moving
on
to
item
D4.
This
is
City
initiatives.
Thank
you
for
the
presentation.
This
is
City
initiatives,
roadmap,
digital
equity
and
empowerment,
program
status,
report
and
I,
see
you
all
moving
forward.
Oh
thank
you.
C
AL
The
committee
will
recall
numerous
reports
and
very
deep
work
having
been
done
to
address
the
Urgent
digital
Equity
gaps
that
were
both
highlighted
by
and
exacerbated
by
the
covid-19
pandemic.
As
the
city
formulated
the
strategies
we
were
reporting
on
today,
we
centered
our
efforts
in
equity
by
utilizing
extensive
Partnerships
and
what
we
called
our
digital
Equity
priority
index.
The
index
includes
numerous
factors
from
household
income
to
covid-19,
impacted
households
and
has
been
updated
to
reflect
the
most
current
American
Community
survey
data.
AL
AJ
AJ
I
think
this
is
an
important
consideration
for
the
council
and
has
certainly
been
an
important
consideration
for
our
staff
as
funds
expire,
Grant
programs
change,
We
are
continuing
to
aggressively
pursue
grants
and
other
funding
sources
so
that
we
can
continue
to
fund
device
access,
but
we'll
continue
to
update
the
Council
on
the
funding
available
and
needed
for
the
sake
of
time.
We'll
move
through
this
quickly.
But
here
is
a
reference
slide
for
the
timeline
of
the
community
Wi-Fi
network
area.
Construction.
AJ
I
will
take
a
moment
to
spend
some
more
time
on
this
as
I
think
it's
very
important.
We
speak
about
these
Community
Wi-Fi
networks
as
separate
discrete
areas
named
by
the
high
school
attendance
areas
that
they
reside
in,
but,
as
you
can
see
from
the
map,
the
scope
of
network
coverage
is
substantial,
with
over
1300
access
points
mounted
on
city-owned
light,
poles
and
traffic
signals
throughout
San
Jose,
mostly
in
East
San
Jose,
but
also
Central
and
South.
AL
We
utilize
3-1-1,
as
you
can,
as
Ann
just
described,
also
a
large
Direct
Mail
campaign
that
went
out
to
40
000
households
to
alert
them
to
the
311
option.
We're
utilizing
a
promotorus
model
to
help
ensure
that
there
is
both
knowledge
of
and
discussion
of,
the
options
through
SJ
access,
in
addition
to
print
collateral,
banners
and
social
print
and
Bose
television,
radio,
media,
additional
Outreach
and
engagement
is
planned
for
2023
and
will
be
included
in
the
SJ
access
budget
planning
for
next
year.
AL
Can
you
play
looking
ahead
to
the
remainder
of
this
fiscal
year?
Our
spring
2023
work
plan
includes
these
major
components.
We
want
to
continue
and
finalize
the
digital,
equity
and
Broadband
strategy,
assessment
and
report,
as
we
mentioned,
looking
at
the
2023-24
budget
considerations
and
consideration
of
federal
and
state
grant
opportunities,
several
of
which
are
listed
here.
There
is
a
lot
of
activity
going
on
in
this
space
and
we're
going
to
make
sure
that
the
city
is
positioned
to
take
advantage
of
funds
that
are
available
to
this
program.
AG
Hi
Blair
Beekman
here
thanks
a
lot
for
this
item.
I
wanted
to
report
earlier
in
the
week
last
week
that
this
item
would
be
on
today's
agenda.
I
didn't
do
that,
though,
something
when
you're
busy
things
just
slip
your
mind,
doing
this
work
and
I'm
sorry
that
happens
to
ourselves.
But
thank
you
that
it's
here
now
and
we're
talking
about
it.
AG
You
know
I
think
with
the
recent
NIMBY
issues
and
with
what
other
issues
like
the
the
recent
vote
about
the
future
of
the
election
process
and
my
own
work
with
you
know
the
future
of
accountability
and
openness
with
broadband,
it's
kind
of
the
underdog
kind
of
stuff,
it's
the
David
and
Goliath
stuff,
and
but
you
know
it's
a
process
of
learning
how
to
make
it
not
so
much
and
Us
Versus
Them
argument
as
a
what
is
cooperation.
AG
What
is
compromise
and
I
hope
you
know
in
the
importance
the
incredible
importance
of
digital
equity
and
what
it
what
it
offers
the
future
of
our
city.
I
mean
I,
do
not
at
all
deny
that
it's
a
matter
of
learning
how
the
steps
can
be
taken.
So
the
process
is
good
and
fair
and
honest
and
decent
and
that
we
are
really
building
a
better
future,
a
sustainable
future
for
ourselves
and
not
just
getting
the
ball
across
the
goal
line,
but
really
building
sustainability
and
and
Community
Harmony.
AG
And
if
we,
if
you
want
to
practice,
you
know
really
good
ideals
of
American
democracy,
you
know
try
to
consider
you
know,
open
public
policies
and
and
to
be
open
and
and
honest
and
accountable
with
the
community
in
in
where
technology
needs
to
go
now.
You'll
have
demands
where
it
needs
to
go.
AG
That
can
be
a
point
of
negotiation
and
that
we
have
to
learn
that
there
can
be
enough
points
of
negotiation,
and
you
have
to
learn
to
trust
that
as
government,
and
we
have
to
learn
how
to
negotiate
well
as
community
and
that's
the
stuff
I
want
to
learn.
It
can
work
good
luck
in
those
efforts.
Thanks.
O
Yes,
Paul
Sotto
from
the
Horseshoe.
Thank
you
for
that
report.
Miss
Bourne,
it's
very
rare
that
I
look
at
one
of
these
items
or
read
the
memos
and
and
that
I'm
impressed
by
the
progress
that's
made.
But
this
is
one
of
them.
I'd
also
like
to
apply
the
efforts
of
the
library
that,
within
when
kova
hit,
and
these
Equity
issues
started
becoming
very
very
it's
always
been
apparent
to
me.
O
I've
been
forced
to
live
in
inequity,
so
we've
always
known
it's
just
that
the
city
could
no
longer
deny,
but
the
library
was
very
cognizant
of
that
and
you
removed
the
words
illegal
alien
from
the
libraries
and
from
so
the
language
is
critically
important
because
it
is
the
first
step
in
the
dehumanization
process.
It's
the
first
step,
and
so
when
I
saw
that
the
library
was
was
cognizant
and
sensitive
to
that
and
responding
to
it,
just
not
rhetorically,
but
through
their
actions.
O
That
really
impressed
me.
That
impression
is
continued.
With
respect
to
this
report,
obviously
there's
a
lot
of
work
still
to
be
yet
to
be
done,
but
one
of
the
things
that
I
would
like
to
ask
is:
if
it's,
if
this
can
be
broken
down
even
further,
the
the
data
is
there.
What
I'm
looking
for
is
by
ZIP
code
by
ZIP
code,
because
for
people
like
me,
that
gets
a
more
accurate
assessment
of
what
it
is.
O
The
need
is
where
the
need
is,
and
then
I
can
use
that,
for
you
know
to
do
what
I
do
with
it.
But
thank
you
for
the
report
and
thank
you
for
the
work
that
you're
doing
in
the
in
our
libraries.
C
Wonderful,
so
I'm
gonna
look
to
my
colleagues
and
a
council
member
Carrasco.
C
Council
member
Carrasco,
can
you
hear
me
we're
going
to
move
over
to
council
member
Esparza
and
then
we'll
come
back
to
councilmember
Carrasco.
F
Okay,
thank
you
so.
AE
I
I
just
wanted
to
say
that
this
is
really
satisfying
and,
in
particular,
I'd
like
to
thank
all
the
teams
in
the
library
and
I.T
and
all
the
folks
that
have
worked
really
hard
to
make
this
happen,
and
I
really
like
to
thank
my
colleagues,
councilmember
Carrasco
and
councilmember
Brad
in
us
back
in
time.
If
you
go
back
in
time
during
covet,
it
was
the
three
of
us
that
worked
with
a
local
School
boards
to
realize
the
the
impacts.
AE
We
very
quickly
realized
what
this
meant
for
a
lot
of
families
in
the
city
and
their
ability
to
not
just
go
to
school
online,
but
really
access
Services.
AE
So
I,
just
I'm
really
grateful
for
the
tremendous
amount
of
work
that
has
taken
place
and
also
want
to
give
a
shout
out
to
James
lick,
Overfelt,
YB
and
Independence,
who
really
killed
it
and
the
the
usage
really
shows
how
much
it's
needed.
I
had
a
question.
A
two
questions.
AE
One
is
talks
about
the
feeder
districts,
but
in
terms
of
Distributing
collateral,
the
feeder
districts
are
part
of
the
maintenance
of
this
whole
Wi-Fi
network.
And
how
are
we,
as
we
identify
funding
sources?
How
are
we
working
with
them
and
sharing
information
with
them
about
the
the
life
of
this
project,
foreign.
AJ
Thank
you,
council,
member
and
Grabowski
division
manager
for
digital
Equity
with
the
San
Jose
Public
Library.
Our
communication
with
the
feeder
district
is
mostly
in
in
providing
collateral
and
awareness
to
their
families.
The
business
relationship
the
that
exists
with
the
feeder
districts
is
through
East,
Side,
Union,
High,
School
District,
so
Eastside,
Union,
High,
School
District
pays
the
city
for
ongoing
operations
and
maintenance,
and
then
they
turn
around
and
have
the
financial
and
business
relationship
with
each
of
the
feeder
districts.
AJ
We
often
provide
information
to
Eastside
Union
High,
School
District,
that
that
validates
the
use
or
the
business
case
for
providing
Wi-Fi
in
the
areas
of
the
Theater
District,
but
we
don't
communicate
with
them
directly
out
of
respect
for
the
the
existing
relationship
with
the
high
school
district.
But
we
absolutely
can
can
continue
to
explore
ways
to
support
the
conversation
more
fully
and
and
are
open
to
any
feedback
that
you
have.
AE
I,
just
I
think
you
know
East
Side,
the
East
Side
Union,
High,
School
District
has
done
an
amazing
job
and
it's
actually
through
the
East
San
Jose,
School
collaborative,
which
has
great
resources
great
relationships
and
have
done
a
really
amazing
job
of
coordinating
and
committing
to
it.
But
I
do
think
you
know
you
hinted
at
the
the
funding
aspect
of
this
moving
forward.
AE
Right
and
I
do
think
that
that
is
a
an
expertise
that
the
city
has
that
the
school
districts
don't
necessarily
have
for
projects
like
these
in
terms
of
identifying
sources
that
maybe
the
city
could
take
the
lead
on
applying
for
funding
in
partnership
with
the
schools,
because
the
schools
go
to
their
educational
sources
right,
for
example,
as
then
a
school
board
member
Carrasco
when
she
was
on
the
school
board.
AE
The
the
second
question
that
I
had-
and
that
is
the
usage-
is
amazing
to
see
and
looking
at
the
map.
That
was
a
great
map
super
excited
about
Silver
Creek,
coming
on
board
in
January.
AE
But
you
know
you
mentioned
the
Outreach
that
has
been
done
in
terms
of
the
postcards.
I
live
in
a
cagement
area
of
one
of
the
high
schools
and
I
didn't
get
a
postcard,
and
so
it
kind
of
makes
me
wonder
you
know
we
did
it
so
that
the
kids
and
their
families
could
go
to
school
so
that
the
parents
and
grandparents
could
access
services.
But
I'm
makes
me
a
little
nervous.
Are
people
about
what
people
are
getting
and
not
getting?
Can
you
talk
a
little
bit
more
about
the
Outreach.
AJ
Yes,
absolutely
thank
you
for
that.
I
should
clarify
that
the
the
mailers
that
went
out
to
households
went
out
to
households
within
the
signal
service
area,
so
we
did
not
send
to
the
entire
catchment
or
attendance
area.
We
only
sent
postcards
where
there
was
actual
Wi-Fi
signal
penetrating
because
we
didn't
want
to
create
confusion,
so
there
could
be
there.
AJ
Could
that
could
be
the
difference,
but
I'm
happy
to
speak
more
with
you
offline
and
understand
on
a
more
narrow
basis
where
we
might
have
missed
the
mark
even
share
the
maps
to
make
sure
that
that
we
really
understand
what's
happening.
We
know
that
they're
in
mailboxes,
but
I
want
to
make
sure
that
we
get
that
right.
So
we
can
definitely
talk
more
about
that.
AJ
We
will
continue
to
do
mail
campaigns
out
through
we've
been
using
the
city's
Master
address
database
to
do
the
mapping
for
where
we
should
be
mailing
will
continue
to
do
those
mailings
and
are
actually
considering
a
general
mailing
to
make
residents
more
aware
aware
of
the
library's
device
Access
program
where
they
can
come
in
and
rent
devices
with
their
San
Jose
Public
Library
card.
So
we
are
considering
that
as
well,
but,
like
Jill
mentioned,
there
have
been
a
variety
of
other
Outreach
opportunities
that
we've
taken
advantage
of
and
will
continue
to
do
so.
Okay,.
AE
And
the
reason
you
know,
I
just
I
get
a
little
nervous
is
Independence.
It
looks
like
Independence
was
able
to
reach
some
really
hard
hit,
neighborhoods,
which
is
awesome.
It's
great
to
see
that
usage
when
I
look
at
YB.
AE
You
know
one
of
the
things
that
when
we
looked
at
the
the
casement
areas
was
so
that
the
Santee
families,
for
example-
and
there
are
other
neighborhoods
nearby
that
are
very,
very
high
needs,
but
that
they
fell
in
that
catchment
area
for
YB,
so
that
the
signal
could
reach
them
and
so
I'll
take
it
offline.
But
that's
that
is
again
it's
it's
not
for
me.
I
have
a
hot
spot
and
I'm
still
on
audio.
AE
C
I'll
go
ahead
and
second,
that
councilmember
Cohen.
K
AC
AC
I've
been
a
long
time
supporter
I
just
want
to
I,
don't
know
if
you
have
a
chance
to
put
the
map
back
up
or
if
I
can
just
talk
about
it,
but
it's
just
important
I
think
for
me
to
mention
that
we've
only
got
about
half
the
independent
service
area
covered
and
I
just
want
to
remind
people
that
when
we
have
this
presentation
because
and
I
guess,
the
question
kind
of
is,
as
you
communicate,
I
understand,
you're
only
mailing
to
households
that
have
access
but
I.
AC
Imagine
at
the
school
there's
communication
and
families
get
communication
and
I
want
to
make
sure
that
it's
somehow
clear.
This
is
only
covering
part
of
that
school
district,
part
of
that
School
boundary,
and
there
are
three
Elementary
School
attendance
areas
that
are
not
covered
Brook
tree
Northwood
and
Orchard
School.
AC
Two
of
those
three
are
Title
One
schools,
so
it
is
somewhat
important
to
us,
hopefully
to
try
to
figure
out
a
way
to
expand
that
coverage
and
not
sort
of
send
the
message
that
we've
completed
the
independent
service
area,
which
is
kind
of
how
I
hear
it
getting
presented.
Sometimes
so
that's
that's
kind
of
what
I
want
to
point
out.
AC
If
you
look
at
this
map-
and
you
go
to
the
northwest
of
that
green-
that
you
can
see
the
white
square,
that's
the
uncovered
area
and
this
and
it
actually
calls
all
the
way
up
into
North
San
Jose,
Orchard
School
particularly
has
some.
You
know
poverty
areas
or
lower
income
areas
Northwood
as
well
low-income
communities,
so
it's
it
will
be
helpful
and
I
will
also
just
mention
that
the
Berryessa
School
District
was
the
one
of
the
first
school
districts
to
sign
on
as
an
mou
to
help,
support
and
fund
this
program.
AC
AL
AL
AC
And
I
guess,
if
you
want
to
quickly
address
the
whole
question
about,
maybe
we
should
talk
about
it.
Severally
but
I
assume
there's
some
communication
when,
when
that
Independence
students
are
told
about
the
program
and
their
families
are
told
about
the
program,
I
I,
just
guess,
I'm
curious.
If
we
can
find
out
how
it's
framed
in
a
way
that
the
students
who
come
from
other
parts
understand
it's
not
available
to
them.
Thank.
AJ
You,
council,
member
my
understanding
and,
of
course,
I'm
not
on
School
site,
but
my
understanding
is
that
the
communications
from
the
school
district
are
that
the
students
may
live
in
a
community
Wi-Fi
area
that
there's
when
there
are
questions,
they're
told
what
the
network
name
is
that's
available
to
them,
because
theirs
is
separate
from
the
public
network
that
is
available
to
our
residents
and
when
there
are
questions
about
you
know
why
can't
I
I,
don't
see
that
Network?
AJ
Why
not
and
I
need
the
Internet
that
the
district
is
a
recipient
of
the
T-Mobile
10
million
a
grant,
and
so
that
student
is
handed
a
hot
spot
through
the
the
10
million
Grand.
So
it's
an
iterative
conversation
with
the
student
to
understand
more
granular
at
a
more
granular
level.
What
their
need
is
and
where
they
live
and
which
resource
may
may
support
their
household
great.
C
I
have
just
a
question.
I
think
this
is
a
question
that
I
had
already
asked
and
just
looking
for
the
answer,
and
that
is
when
folks
get
on
to
the
community
Wi-Fi.
If
they
happen
to
have
an
issue,
do
does
a
prompt
come
up
about
the
311
and
being
able
to
file
a
report
of
concern
and
I
know
it
may
not
come
up
because
they're
not
connected,
but
on
a
previous
connection
right
just
seeing
that
if
there
is
a
any
kind
of
prompt
would
help
people.
AJ
Thank
you
councilmember.
You
discussed
one
of
the
use
cases,
which
is
that
they
can't
get
the
landing
screen,
because
the
connection
is
too
faulty.
We
are
exploring
the
opportunity
to
add
sj311
to
the
landing
page.
So
when
you
open
the
public
network,
you
have
to
sign
into
a
terms
and
conditions
page
that
says
like
I
understand.
This
is
a
public
network
right,
just
like
you
have
to
do
at
Starbucks
and
we're
exploring
the
opportunity
to
have
an
interactive
link
to
sj311.
That
says,
please
tell
us
how
your
connection
goes.
C
C
I'm
really
excited
about,
of
course,
my
district
and
the
ones
that
are
coming
up
in
January,
but
I'm,
just
as
happy
for
for
the
rest
of
of
the
districts
who
share
my
boundaries
and
those
who
are
a
little
far
further
down
the
road
than
me,
because
it
just
means
that
our
students
are
able
to
do
their
homework
from
home
if
that
is
most
convenient
to
them
and
that
our
folks
are
having
access
in
a
way
that
they
didn't
have
access
before,
maybe
having
their
doctor's
appointments
at
home
in
a
way
that
is
convenient
to
them
right
after
making
dinner
or
or
before
whatever
it
is.
C
But
this
is
all
in
in
the
name
of
of
of
convenience
and
flexibility
that
we
have
just
relied
on
so
much
during
this
pandemic
and
hopefully
with
your
efforts
and
and
finding
new
sources
of
funding
that
you'll
be
able
to
Target
some
of
those
gaps
and
and
be
able
to
continue
with
the
really
wonderful
work
that
you're
doing
through
San
Jose
access
and
then
I
got
these
fabulous
pamphlets
and
I
and
I.
C
You
know:
I
know
that
you
listen
to
us
and
I
I
know
that
Beyond
just
listening
to
us
that
it's
also
part
of
ensuring
that
you
cover
and
connect
with
our
community
in
a
way
that
really
is
Meaningful,
and
this
trifold
that
has
three
different
languages,
is
just
absolutely
fabulous.
So
you
covered
everybody
that
normally
I
would
say
the
top
three
speakers
of
San
Jose,
but
not
I,
know
not
everyone,
but
at
least
it's
the
top
three
speakers,
and
so
I
I
really
appreciate
it.
C
I
think
the
the
the
last
thing
that
I
was
going
to
just
ask
is
a
note
that
then
that
I
think
this
summer
you've
received
some
of
the
remaining
hot
spots
from
school
districts
that
had
initially
received
them
during
the
pandemic.
C
Have
you
heard
any
any
feedback
in
terms
of
like
hey?
We
need
some
of
those
back
in
terms
of
hot
spots.
I
know
that
they're
available
at
the
library,
but
you
know
it's
always
much
more
convenient
for
folks
to
go
where
you
know
their
families
are.
AL
Yeah
I
think
that
the
the
most
General
answer
is
that,
most
that
our
relationships
with
the
schools
became
so
close
during
the
pandemic.
With
this
topic,
especially,
and
that
the
schools
really
approached
the
the
referral
process
instead
and
so.
A
AL
C
Good
good,
I'm
I'm
glad
to
hear
it.
Well,
you
know,
and
I
guess
I
wonder
what
that
that
second
phase
of
need
is
from
those
families.
Is
it
because
you
know
they're
relocating?
Is
it?
C
C
That
would
also
be
interesting
just
just
to
find
out
I'm
not
asking
you
to
keep
track
of
it,
but
just
if
you
could
keep
your
ear
to
the
ground.
So
we
we
know
and
I
know
that
you
that
you
you
do
because
you're
obviously
continuing
to
pursue
additional
sources
of
grants
to
continue
with
this
effort
and
then
the
last
one
is,
and
this
one
is
for
a
community
of
interest.
That
is
that
we've
been
fighting
for
for
a
really
long
time,
and
this
is
for
sexual
assault.
C
Survivors
I,
don't
know
that
there
is
any
referral,
source
or
exchange
that
has
happened
just
yet
so
that
they
know
that
there's
a
hot
spot
available
to
them
or
at
a
convenient
location.
Many
many
other
times.
The
survivors
can't
necessarily
go
to
the
library
or
go
to
you
know.
There
was
a
lot
of
logistical
things
that
have
to
happen
for
them
to
meet
with
their
Advocates
or
their
support
staff.
So
is
there
anything
that
we
can
do
to
bring
those
hot
spots
closer
to
those
agencies.
AJ
AJ
We
are
experienced
so
far
with
staff
from
the
agencies
that
support
these
individuals.
Is
that
there's
an
interest
but
either
a
lack
of
operational
implementation
capacity
for
them
to
come,
get
hot
spots
from
us
or
a
lack
of
follow-through
on
creating
a
set-aside
collection
for
individuals
to
come
to
library,
branches
throughout
the
city?
And
so
we
haven't
had
a
successful
implementation
of
a
set-aside
collection,
but
we're
absolutely
still
open
to
it
and
are
happy
to
be
put
in
contact
with
anyone
that
that
can
meet
these
needs.
For
for
these
individuals,.
C
Yeah
I
think
a
real,
easy
connection
would
be
the
ywbca
as
they
go
out
to
calls
with
our
police
officers,
or
they
come
back
to
the
icac,
the
to
the
the
Children's
Advocacy
Center
that
they
could
potentially
hold
those
hot
spots
on
our
behalf
and
distribute
them
so
that
there
is
no
additional
location
that
a
family
would
have
to
go
to.
C
I
mean
the
same
could
be
said,
maybe
from
next
door
or
Community.
Solutions
I.
Just
think
that
we
need
to
have
one
step,
bring
them
one
step
further,
because
I
did
I
did
check
in
with
some
of
the
agencies
and
they
hadn't.
There
wasn't
any
progress
and
there's
a
lot.
C
That
is
happening,
of
course,
for
for
everyone
and
there's
not
enough
people
behind
a
lot
of
our
agencies,
and
so
I
know
that
that
could
be
a
one
of
those
reasons,
but
I
don't
want
it
to
I,
don't
want
it
to
deter
from
our
original
intent
and
that
is
to
have
folks
connected.
AL
We
did
partner
with
each
of
those
during
the
pandemic,
as
you
recall,
I,
think
on
your
recommendation,
and
so
we
can
certainly
reach
out
to
them
again.
D

AM
Just
a
little
background

Maybe
all
right
and
last
up
on
the
screen,
you
can
see
a
map
detailing
out
the
phases
of
where
each
lactation
pod
will
be
installed.
The
first
phase
denoted
by
the
teal
geotag
is
going
to
be
the
first
phase,
so
that
will
include
Library
the
library
in
Evergreen,
seven
choose
Community
Center
and
here
at
City
Hall.
On
the
first
floor,
I'm
in
phase
two
denoted
by
the
red
geotag
will
be
Roosevelt,
Community,
Center,
Southside,
Community,
Center
and
then
Tully
Library
and
Hillview
Library,
and
with
that
I'll
pass
it
on.
AN
Last
month
in
the
education,
digital
literacy,
annual
report
and
the
College
and
Career
annual
update,
we
featured
the
library's
Early
Education
Community
assessment,
as
well
as
the
library's
family
friend
and
neighborhood
caregiver
support
network.
So
I
won't
go
into
too
much
detail
on
those
just
to
say
that
in
the
first
one
is
really
informing
the
units
programming
in
work
plan
in
order
to
provide
more
targeted,
representative
and
Equitable
Services
for
Families
within
the
community
in
the
second
one
for
the
FFN
caregiver
support
network.
AN
touch
points,
is
an
evidence-based
approach
to
understanding
Child,
Development
and
using
family
engagement
strategies.
This
is
an
ongoing
program
which
enhances
customer
service
and
the
opportunity
for
staff
to
connect
with
parents
to
date
more
than
120
Library
staff
members
at
all
levels
of
the
organization
have
completed.
The
28-hour

points
approach
for

training
with
additional

training
scheduled
to
begin
in
mid-2023.
AN
Together,
we
read,
provides
bi-monthly
mailings

children
under
the
age
of
14
who
are
receiving
services
from
the
library's
adult
literacy
program
partners
in
reading
we're
also
exploring
increasing
the
age
of
those
children
so
that
they
can
also
receive
those
mailings
and
of
books
and,
lastly,
inspired
by
promotorus
model.
We
have
three
new
library
staff
members
that
are
serving
as
bilingual
Early

Community
Navigators.
With
our
we
grow
developmental
screening
pilot
program.
This
pilot
program
will
launch
in
Winter
2023
through
this

program.
AN
Caregivers
can
complete
a

AO
AO
City
staff
were
directed
by
City
Council
on
the
following
to
develop
a
10.5
million
spending
plan
for
children,
utilizing
Erp
funds
and
on
April
26
2022
city
council
approved
the
spending
plan
for
the
ARP
funds
at
the
November
and
at
the
November
10th
of
this
last
month,
staff
provided
an
update
on
the
Milestones
accomplished.
Thus
far
with
these
funds,
staff
were
able
to
fully
subsidize
scholarships
and
provide
free,
after-school
academic
enrichment
and
recreation
activities
for
low-income
and
vulnerable
Children
and
Youth,
with
the
Bill

AO
AO
The
updates
to
this
date
is
that
City
staff
have
met
with
County
District
Attorney's
Office,
a
Child
Advocacy
Center,
as
well
as
their
current
child
care
provider
Partners
to
explore
best
how
to
support
their
child
care
needs.
Given
the
complexity
of
addressing
the
child
care
needs
of
this
population
and
the
needs
that
families
are
requesting,
we
will
continue
to
explore
how
best
to
address
this
and
we'll
provide
an
update
at
the
NSC

committee
meeting
in
Spring
of

AO
and
on
the
point
of
addressing
gender-specific,
survivor-centered

with
the
availability
with
the
availability

AO
AO
Yeah,
oh,
that
was
going
to
help
sorry

I
could
do
my
moving

with
the
continued
at
execution,
assessment
and
evaluation
effect
of
the
family
friendly

We
will
also
be
looking
at
integrating
and
aligning
the
family-friendly
initiative
with
the
children,
youth
services,
master
plan
development
and
the
children.
AO
Used
Services
master
plan
will
also
include
a

The
anticipated
completion
of

We're
available
for
any
questions.
C
Thank
you
we're
going
to
move
to
public
comment
and
because
we
are
at
506
and
we
still
have
another
item,
I'm
going
to
limit
comments
to
one
minute
minute.
Thank.
C
Perfect
so
before
we
vote,
I
do
have
a
question
and
thank
you
so
much
for
this
report.
I
would
love
to
look
forward
to
reporting
in
2023
to
see
the
progress
of
all
of
this,
but
I
know
that
you
will
be
wonderful
caretakers
of
our
family
friendly
initiative,
as
well
as
our
our
child
and
youth
master
plan.
C
One
of
the
questions
I
had
was
around
the
the
gender
specific
Survivor
Center
Recreation
and
empowerment
programming.
What
were
those
so?
What
are?
What
is
the
plan?
It's
through
the
best
funded
agencies
that
you'll
have
something
specific
in
this
new
round
of
of
Grants.
Is
that
what
the
intention
is.
AO
I,
don't
know
that
I
can
speak
specifically
to
that,
but
I
know
that
they
have
been
working
closely
with
different
providers
and
partners
that
have
that
serve
that
population
they've
also
because
I
have
been
involved
in
some
of
those
conversations
working
with
County
Office
of
Education,
for
example,
and
schooling,
services
and
other
partners
that
also
are
Inc
connected
to
families
and
other
providers
that
serve
those
communities
and
have
been
engaged
in
discussing
how
best
to
outreach
and
engage
them
in
not
only
applying
but
applying
for
the
grads,
but
also
serving
that
population.
C
I
also
don't
want
something
to
get
lost
in
this
and
that's
the
reason
why
we
are
making
a
focus
on
gender
specific
Survivor
programming
support
programming
is
because
we
know
that
sexual
assault
is
the
number
one
reason
why
young
women
enter
the
Juvenile
Justice
System,
and
so
knowing
that
we
also
responsible
to
disrupting
that
pipeline.
C
That
leads
to
sex
trafficking,
to
sex
work,
to
intimate
partner
violence
and
so
I
I
hope
that
we
can
make
sure
that
we
have
that
connection
there,
so
that
when
we
take
a
look
at
best
funded
agencies,
there
there's
there's
that
intention
of
breaking
that
Pipeline
and
not
just
being
an
additional
source
of
funding
for
for
best
funded
or
for
any
agency.
Excuse
me
and
seeing
how
we
can
maybe
align
with
the
women's
office
policy
and
then
lastly,
is
my
district
soon
to
be
somebody
else's
District.
C
We
asked
for
a
budget
document
this
summer
for
a
young
girls
and
women's
empowerment
conference,
and
so
we
have
Evergreen
College
as
a
partner
and
a
location,
so
they're,
very,
very
open
to
helping
us
facilitate
that.
It's
the
office
of
gender
and
Equity
at
Evergreen
College
as
well
as
we
just
have
a
commitment.
C
We
just
had
a
commitment
from
YWCA
to
also
participate
and
hopefully
be
the
Fiscal
Agent
for
the
Women's,
Conference
and
I
all
in
in
in
an
effort
to
build
a
different
kind
of
a
pipeline
and
that's
a
pipeline
of
empowerment
and
confidence
and
bystander
Interruption
of
of
some
of
the
Dynamics
that
we've
seen
be
so
damaging
to
our
young
women
and
so
I
hope
that
we
can
also
connect
that
so
it
doesn't
get
lost
and
it
is
part
of
an
overall
effort
if
we
could
do
that
for
the
next
report.
C
Thank
you
all
right.
We
are
finally
to
thank
you
so
much.
Ladies,
thank
you
for
all
the
really
good
work
that
is
behind
this
report.
I
apologize
that
we
have
to
make
this
so
quickly,
but
hopefully
our
next
item
and
the
folks
who
are
going
to
report
Lake
Cunningham.
This
is
D6
Lake,
Cunningham,
Shoreline
and
water
quality
report
see
them
making
their
way
down.
Thank
you
so
much
for
your
patience.
E
Sure,
as
as
they're
making
their
way
down,
you
know
on
the
previous
item
on
digital
equity
and
empowerment,
we
did
want
to
cross-reference
that
the
February
14th
is
it
possible
to
go
back
and
do
a
re-vote
to
add
that
cross-reference
to
the
motion.
Yes,.
AI
D
Esparza
yeah
Carrasco
I
Uranus.
Yes,
thank
you.
AH
Thank
you,
council,
member
John,
cicerelli
back
again,
director
of
parks,
recreation
Neighborhood
Services
here
with
me,
is
Sarah
sellers,
our
interim
deputy
director
over
our
capital
projects,
so
we're
here
to
share
with
you
a
report.
We've
been
exploring
not
only
what's
wrong
with
Lake
Cunningham
in
the
park,
but
also
Solutions
on.
How
does
that
get
fixed?
So
we're
going
to
share
with
you
the
study
we've
just
completed
and
what
those
results
are
and
then
what
our
next
steps
are
meant
to
be.
AP
My
favorite
projects,
so
thank
you
for
having
us
we're
gonna
jump
right
in
before
we
get
to
the
study
itself,
though,
I
wanted
to
provide
a
little
bit
of
background.
Lake
Cunningham
is
a
man-made
lake
in
the
east
side
of
San
Jose
in
Council
District,
eight,
it
was
originally
designed
as
a
flood,
detention,
Basin
and,
of
course,
included
recreational
opportunities.
AP
This
timeline
to
me
is
one
of
the
most
important
pieces
of
information
when
it
comes
to
comprehending
how
we
got
to
the
position
we're
in
with
water
quality
issues
at
the
lake.
So
historically
the
site
where
Lake
Cunningham
sits
was
a
seasonal
Wetland.
So
all
of
the
water
came
off
of
the
Foothills
gathered
and
settled
in
that
area
fast
forward,
as
development
started
to
pick
up,
cattle
grazing
moved
in
cattle
grazing
I
believe
started
around
the
1920s
and
was
later
a
dairy
farm
up
until
the
70s.
AP
AP
The
Creeks
are
not
connected
to
the
lake,
so
what
we
have
is
a
shallow
Pond
that
doesn't
have
any
flows
inside
or
out,
and
it
was
built
in
an
area
that
was
used
for
cattle
for
over
50
years,
and
that
is
key,
because
that
means
that
those
nutrients
from
the
cattle
were
on
site
and
in
the
soil,
and
that
is
where
a
lot
of
our
nutrients.
What
we're
calling
nutrient-loading
phosphorus
and
nitrogen
is
essentially
coming
from
cow
poop.
AP
So
a
lot
of
work
has
been
done
on
the
lake
two
years
after
they
constructed
the
lake.
They
were
already
seeing
water
quality
challenges,
so,
throughout
the
course
of
the
lake
different
things
have
been
tried.
A
lot
of
those
were
kind
of
mechanical
means.
With
this
study
we're
really
trying
to
think
differently,
so
we're
trying
to
fix
the
underlying
challenges
and
not
simply
add
aerators.
AP
We
really
want
to
turn
this
back
into
a
healthy,
happy
lake.
So
what
we
looked
at
in
this
study-
water,
quality,
water
sources,
what
those
recommendations
are
how
to
address
the
shoreline
erosion
which
a
substantial
amount
of
our
Shoreline
path,
has
failed
and
has
been
eroding
into
the
water.
So
this
trying
to
stack
all
of
these
things
together
to
create
an
outcome
for
improvements
across
the
park,
water,
quality,
Shoreline,
Etc
and
then
also
in
the
study.
We
wanted
to
understand
rough
order
of
magnitude
costs.
Those
are
highly
conceptual
costs.
AP
The
other
challenges
are
elevated
pH
levels
and
then
the
the
items
I
mentioned
earlier.
The
nitrogen
phosphorus
loading
is
increasing
the
algae
and
when
we
have
those
algae
blooms,
that's
what's
resulting
in
the
fish
kills
and
then
to
layer.
This
on.
We
also
have
a
lot
of
non-native
geese
populations
and,
although
they're
really
cute
to
look
at,
they
are
problematic
because
all
of
their
fecal
matter
ends
up
in
the
lake
and
that
increases
the
pathogen
count.
AP
So
we
did
a
lot
of
mapping.
The
team
was
fantastic.
We
had
a
wonderful
consultant
on
board.
They
looked
at
everything.
They
could
possibly
look
at
really.
How
was
the
water
moving
into
the
lake?
So
that's
where
we're
seeing
this
map
of
the
blue
dots
that's
point
source
where
water
is
going
from
the
park
and
is
draining
in
in
these
areas.
AP
So
we
looked
at
you
know
where's
the
water
coming
from
where
are
geese
hanging
out
and
then
what
are
some
of
the
improvements
we
could
make
so
where
we're
seeing
water
come
in,
we
want
to
stop
any
more
nutrients
from
getting
into
the
lake,
so
one
of
the
recommendations
would
be
to
create
biosoil,
so
we're
intercepting
the
flow
of
water
we're
treating
the
water
before
it
gets
into
the
lake.
So
that
would
stop
further
nutrients
from
entering
the
lake.
AP
Then
we're
looking
at
reducing
excuse
me
reducing
replacing
actually
the
turf
with
Native
vegetation,
so
the
geese
like
to
congregate
on
lawn
next
to
the
water's
edge,
and
that
presents
a
challenge
with
the
fecal
matter.
So,
by
removing
the
turf
installing
native
plants,
we'd
reduce
the
geese
populations,
while
also
putting
back
the
the
ecosystems
that
were
there
historically,
so
that
would
increase
biodiversity
and
reduce
the
non-native
geese
populations
and
then,
of
course,
looking
at
practices
like
reducing
fertilizers.
AP
So
the
the
key
to
the
the
recommendations
is
they're
all
layering
on
top
of
each
other.
We
can't
necessarily
strip
one
out
and
only
do
one
and
expect
to
see
improvements.
This
is
really
a
marathon
type
project
where
we
have
to
kind
of
bake
a
a
cake,
a
10,
stacked
layer
cake.
So
this
is
going
to
be
that
first
sheet
of
your
cake,
so
the
next
steps
are
the
bigger
ones.
So,
in
looking
at
this
project,
we're
trying
to
stack
functions,
so
we
didn't
want
to
Simply
reconstruct
the
trail.
We
thought.
AP
Okay,
the
trail
needs
work.
If
we
reconstruct
it,
the
underlying
challenges
are
still
there.
We
need
to
address
the
real
issues,
so
how
can
we
grade
the
hill
use?
Some
of
that
to
then
create
these
Wetland
benches?
So
just
a
little
touch
of
clarity
there.
With
this
Lake
we
essentially
have
a
10
foot
depth
with
vertical
walls,
and
what
we
need
to
do
is
create
a
bench
where
Wetland
plants
can
exist,
so
we
need
to
do
a
little
bit
of
Contours.
AP
That
would
allow
Wetland
vegetation
to
thrive
and
that's
what
you're,
seeing
as
the
green
color
on
the
map.
So
this
one
is,
is
looking
at
adding
those
those
Wetlands
re-grading
some
of
the
hill
and
then
doing
a
little
bit
of
work
on
the
the
path,
as
well
as
planting
trees.
AP
And
this
one
is
really
where
the
magic
happens,
because
in
order
to
get
the
lake
to
be
an
ecological
system
again,
we
need
to
give
it
flows.
So
The
Creeks
are
not
connected,
so
there's
no
flows
in
and
no
flows
out,
so
there's
no
way
for
the
water
to
circulate
so
all
of
the
nutrients
that
are
there.
They're
concentrating
and
they're
settling
and
there's
no
way
for
things
to
circulate
and
move
out
of
the
system.
Wetlands
are
an
incredible
kind
of
miracle
from
nature,
they're
able
to
filter
out
heavy
metals.
AP
You
know
fecal
matter,
it's
incredible
how
the
ability
of
wetlands
have
to
filter
water,
so
this
recommendation
is
looking
at
installing
a
large
Wetland,
a
flow
through
Wetland
and
pumping
the
water
from
the
lake
through
the
Wetland,
and
we
think
that
this
has
a
lot
of
potential
to
improve
water
quality,
not
only
improve
water
quality
but
improve
biodiversity,
create
more
habitat
for
Birds
amphibians
and
also
since
this
was
historically
a
wetland.
AP
It
makes
sense
because
this
area
is
incredibly
hard
to
maintain
the
turf
is
not
sustainable,
and
that
area
is
already
wanting
to
convert
itself
back
into
a
wetland.
So
we're
essentially
saying
let's
stop
swimming
against
the
current.
Let's
do
what
nature
wants
to
do
here,
and
we
really
think
that
this
has
a
lot
of
strength.
So
a
lot
of
these
costs
that
you
see
those
are
the
rough
order
of
magnitude
costs.
AP
I,
don't
want
us
getting
too
comfortable
with
these,
because
this
is
really
just
where
we
start
a
conversation,
and
they
are
at
this
point
they're
excluding
a
lot
of
our
city
costs,
so
just
don't
get
too
comfortable
with
those.
Some
of
our
next
steps
will
be
to
refine
estimates
and
think
about
how
we
could
face
some
of
this
work,
and
since
this
this
item
was
brought
up
during
the
measure
team
memo,
I
didn't
want
to
glance
over
it.
I
wanted
to
make
sure
that
you
know
this
was
put
in
here.
AP
One
of
the
things
talked
about
during
during
that
presentation
was
this
idea
of
Water
contact
Recreation,
and
so
the
consultant
was
able
to
kind
of
pull
pieces
together,
it's
very
similar
to
Alternative
three,
but
we're
looking
at
kind
of
the
base
level.
How
can
we
do
a
little
bit
of
wetland
here?
A
little
bit
of
Swale
here,
but
it's
it's
trying
to
kind
of
piece
that
that
off
with
the
smallest
scope
possible-
and
here
again
it's
it's
a
rough
order
of
magnitude
costs.
AP
So
we'd
want
to
refine
that
before
we
we
put
it
in
motion.
AP
So
with
that,
I
feel
I
feel
really
good
about
where,
where
we've
been
and
where
we're
going,
I
think
the
consultant
and
the
team
did
a
really
great
job
on
the
study
gave
us
a
lot
of
new
information
to
work
with,
but
we
still
need
to
do
a
little
more
work.
We
still
need
to
understand
more
about
the
water
and
some
of
the
sources
we'd
like
to
do
some
tests
at
raging
waters
to
understand
you
know
what
is
coming
out
of
there.
AP
So
so
some
of
the
next
steps
are
engaging
with
the
consultant
again
coming
back
for
another
round
of
tests,
refining
estimates
and
then
figuring
out
how
we
could
really
phase
this,
because
the
last
thing
we
want
is
for
another
study
to
sit
on
the
Shelf.
We
want
to
figure
out
how
we
could
put
a
plan
together
and
really
figure
out
the
order
of
operations
to
move
it
forward.
AP
C
You
Sarah
we're
going
to
go
to
the
community
public
comment.
Blair.
AG
I
did
not
have
my
hand
was
raised
at
the
long
at
the
wrong
time.
Sorry
about
that.
Good
luck!
How
you
can
address
this
important
item.
O
Thank
you
for
the
reports.
I
I,
don't
think
I've
ever
heard.
You
give
a
report
before
your
voice
sounds
new,
so
welcome
to
the
fight.
This
is
a
racial
Equity
issue.
O
Lake
Cunningham
was
created
as
a
as
that
time
periods
response
to
the
lack
of
Park
allocations,
which
we
all
know
was
created
by
Parks
and
Recreation
the
park
deficit,
the
trees
all
that
well,
this
was
the
East
side's
response
to
that
in
terms
of
demanding
Lake
Cunningham
and
you
know,
there's
been
there's
been
some
local
Lowrider
car
shows
they've
been
conducted
there.
O
Some
both
Street
low
and
low
ladder
have
done
photography
there
with
respect
to
the
Chicano
community
and
the
lowrider
movement,
so
I'm
asking
that
whatever
is
necessary
in
order
to
preserve
this.
This
gem,
this
racial
Equity
back.
C
Thank
you,
so
much
I
don't
see
any
hands
from
my
colleagues
I'm.
Just
gonna
move
into
my
comments,
I'm,
hoping
that
somebody
on
my
one
of
my
colleagues
can
make
a
motion,
and
this
is
to
cross-reference
this
item
to
the
full
Council
before
measure.
C
T
comes
back,
that's
important,
because
you
know
that
we've
set
aside
those
three
million
and
we're
hoping
that
those
that
money
can
continue
to
be
red
flagged
for
for
Lake,
Cunningham
and
then
also
including
the
report,
supplemental
information
that
meets
the
council's
direction,
that
we
provided
back
in
June,
including
a
report
on
public
private
Partnerships
opportunities
in
a
process
as
well
as
a
government,
Affairs
strategy
and
Outreach,
and
then,
lastly,
to
ensure
the
report
to
the
council
includes
a
proposed
strategy
that
can
pursue
how
we
can
substantially
move
forward
toward
compliance
with
the
original
Council
direction.
AH
Can
I
just
provide
a
piece
of
paper
just
so
everybody
knows.
The
measure.
T
item
will
be
heard
on
February
14th,
so
it
would
be
any
day
date
before
that.
AH
AH
Thought
it
was
in
March,
mid-February
yeah
I
do
want
to
also
clarify.
We
wouldn't
have
a
funding
strategy
that
quickly,
but
we
are
intending
to
be
responsive
to
the
MBA
that
was
passed
in
rules
yesterday,
which
does
call
for
that
strategy.
So
we're
going
to
need
a
bit
more
time
than
than
January.
C
C
I
want
to
make
sure
that
it
this
the
interest
in
in
Lake
Cunningham
doesn't,
like
you,
said:
Sarah
stay
on
the
shelf,
like
the
last
study
that
we
saw
that
kind
of
expired
in
terms
of
recommendations,
we're
no
longer
relevant
by
the
time
that
we
really
picked
it
up
right
and
I,
love
that
you're
so
interested,
and
we're
able
to
really
explain
through
your
presentation,
the
historical
growth
of
of
this
parcel
and
how
we
are
kind
of
fighting
with
nature
in
terms
of
this
land,
and
we
see
it
every
time
we
have
a
family
fall
family
Festival
that
these
are
wetlands.
C
We
have
to
make
sure
where
we
put
our
our
tents
and
where
we
put
our
games
and
where
we
put
everything-
and
this
is
in
October
floor-
it
even
starts
raining
and
it's
still
marshy
right.
So
so
we
are
fighting
with
nature
and
and
I'm
interested
in
seeing
how
we
can
live
with
nature
and
preserve
and
hopefully
go
back
to
some
Recreation
program
or
some
superficial
recreational
programs
on
the
lake.
All
right,
I.
F
Think
can
we
share
yeah?
Yes,
are
we
ready
for
the
motion
or
yes,
okay,
I'll,
make
a
motion
to
accept
the
report
and
to
number.
C
Perfect,
as
well
as
a
government,
Affairs
strategy
and
Outreach.
AH
AH
Just
want
to
be
clear
where
we're
trying
to
land
this,
because
we're
not
we're
not
yet
as
as
Sarah
was
talking
about
we're,
not
yet
there
with
the
numbers.
So
we
so
we're
not
sure
what
that
Target
is
just
yet
that
we're
after
right.
AE
Madam,
chair
I,
think
if
we
include
a
report
on
a
public-private
partnership
process,
I
think
that's
generic
enough
to
bring
back
before
measure
t
comes
back
and
then
John
has
indicated
that
the
full
strategy
will
be
included
after
that.
Does
that
work
yeah.
C
In
that
particular
piece
doesn't
need
to
come
before
measure
T
right,
so
that
could
that
doesn't
have
to
be
Tethered
to
that
piece
but
and
I
understand
we.
We
have
two
different
paths
that
we're
asking
kind
of
for
the
same
thing:
I
I
get
it
we're,
listen,
we're
we're
trying
to
wrap
this
ribbon,
really
tight,
so
I'm
I'm,
hoping
that
we
have
enough
on
rules.
C
We
can
make
this
a
little
less
stringent
here,
Angela
I
know
you're
you're
looking
at
me,
because
this
is
going
to
impact
work
plan
and
I
and
I
totally
get
it.
I
just
want
this
to
make
sure
that
this
cross-references
back
to
council
before
measure,
T
and
I
think
that's
enough.
The
other
two
strategies
as
they
are
also
on
our
rules.
Memo
can
have
a
little
bit
more
of
a
less
constrained
time
to
come.
AE
Back
okay,
so
the
motion
is
to
accept
the
report
and
then
number
three
to
both
reports
and
then
number
three
to
cross-reference
this
to
council
before
measure
t
comes
back
in
mid-February.
Yes,.
C
You
wonderful
so
that
is
the
last
item
on
our
agenda
and
so
now
we're
going
to
move
and
thank
you
so
much
Sarah
I
apologize
that
this
is
so
quick,
but
you
were
so,
and
you
were
so
succinct
in
your
your
presentation
and
informational.
So
I'd
love
to
follow
up
with
you
later
and
thank
you
John
all
right.
So
we're
going
to
move
into
open,
Forum,
caller.
O
Yes,
because
Paul's
looking
from
the
Horseshoe
I,
really
really
want
to
thank
councilwoman.
Arena,
said
missparza
for
your
input
today,
I
I
couldn't
have
been
more
proud
to
be
a
part
of
the
community
that
that
shares
this
space,
and
so
I'll
say
with
you
I'm
going
to
that's
not
going
to
go
up.
It's
just
it's
not
going
to
go
up.
O
O
He
underestimates
my
capacity
I
removed
the
12
000
pound
statue
that
had
been
in
place
for
36
years.
The
city
underestimates
my
ability
to
connect
with
my
community
in
order
to
preserve
its
culture
and
its
cultural
pride
in
our
city,
Blair.
K
All
right,
thank
you,
we're
a
big
man
here.
Thank
you
for
the
last
Neighborhood
Services
meeting
for
at
least
three
Council
persons.
AG
Who
offered
some
really
nice
words
today?
A
real
good
end,
and
you
know
just
hopeful
good
Beginnings
for
the
future
of
this
committee,
which
is
always
just
a
real
great.
K
Committee
Through
The
Years.
Thank
you.
AG
I
wanted
to
quickly
offer
that
you
know
a
thank
you
to
the
words
of
a
council
persons,
Esparza
and
Arena
on
the
future
of
the
tower
issue
that
you
know
it's
my
feeling,
personal
feeling
that
just
a
there
we
seem
to
be
moving
towards
an
indigenous
Concepts.
That
I
think
the
future
of
the
of
the
park
can
better
represent
it'll,
be
more
interesting
to
see
and
hear
about
in
the
future.
We
have
a
good
balance
with
the
Christmas
things
that
was
mentioned.
