A
quorum
all
right,
thank
you
very
much
and
we
have
the
review
of
our
work
plan,
any
items
to
be
added,
dropped
or
deferred,
and
I
do
have
one
recommendation
myself
for
the
orders
for
today
I
just
wanted
to,
and
I
don't
this
is,
I
know
just
to
review
the
work
plan.
I'll
ask
the
city
attorney.
Is
this
the
right
time
to
make
a
shift
in
regards
to
the
order
of
our
items
today?.
A
G
You
know
making
our
streets
safe
and
we're
not
putting
enough
time
and
resources
and
money
into
making
that
so,
and
so
that
is
my
concern
is
that
we
need
to
prevent
you
know:
prevention
needs
to
be
part
of
our
policies,
and
so,
when
we
come
up
with
a
problem
in
our
community
in
terms
of
the
safety
of
our
pedestrians
and
our
safety
of
our
bicyclists,
that
needs
to
be
really
looked
at
and
addressed
instead
of
saying.
Yes,
we
know
about
that
problem.
It's
in
our
list.
G
It's
in
our
work
plans,
you
know
when
I
talked
to
you
know
john
brazil.
From
this
you
know
our
bicycle
group
and
you
know
it's
in
the
work
plan
and
and
even
when
I
was
talking
to
andrew
boone,
he
was
saying
a
lot
of
of
really
good
policies
are
in
our
work
plans,
but
not
implementing
them,
and
it's
it's
the
same
thing
with
our
climate
crisis.
G
C
B
I
B
B
Since
the
80s,
the
roads
are
bad,
they're,
really
bad.
It
seems
as
if
they
repave
them,
but
they
don't
refinish.
The
outer
rim
of
the
manhole
cover
that's
not
safe,
it's
not
safe
for
a
car,
it's
even
worse
for
a
bicycle
and
we
spend
billions
of
dollars
on
all
these
things
and
it's
not
safe.
I
mean
near
the
rose
garden
there
used
to
be
a
one
of
the
street
lamps
had
a
lot
of
exposed
wiring
I
had
to
call
50
times
emails
talking
with
a
bunch
of
people.
B
Finally,
a
policeman
called
me
and
after
I
called
up
and
they
sent
out
an
electrician
to
fix
it,
but
I
couldn't
be
there
because
they
didn't
want
any
confrontation.
Can
you
imagine
this
it
got
to
that?
Okay,
so,
for
you
guys
to
lecture
us
about
safety,
shame
on
you!
You
guys
are
the
ones
measuring
flag.
Poles
that
are
one
inch
too
high.
B
That's
what
you
people
have
time,
for
you
have
time
to
see
what
a
fence
looks
like
if
it's
the
right
material
and
if
it's
one
inch
too
high,
you
make
people
take
you're
going
to
lecture
people
on
safety.
You
people
should
be
ashamed
of
yourself,
police
and
fire.
This
is
reno
911..
I
can
tell
you
this
is
reno
911.
C
A
A
G
F
H
Right,
thank
you,
vlad
rickman
here.
Thanks
for
this
item
it
it
is
chock
full
of
a
lot
of
interesting
good
stuff,
and
so
thank
you
for
it.
I
guess
a
place
to
start
is
my
big
one
that
you
know
I'm
noticing
this
fall.
You
know,
I
think
we
have
we're
having
a
bit
of
trouble,
how
to
consider
ideas
of
a
planning
and
how
to
be
planning
for
the
next
few
years
how
to
be
planning
for
the
next
five
years.
H
You
know
the
year
2023
has
been
noted
as
it's
an
important
year
that
can
really
help
kind
of
define
the
future
of
our
decade.
I
think
it
has
economic
issues
that
we're
interested
in
what
how
we'll
be
working
from
2023
and
beyond
and
there's
also
you
know.
The
natural
disaster
worries
that
I've
been
bringing
up
for
the
bay
area,
that
that
is
of
note,
good
luck,
how
we
can
plan
at
this
time
and
how
it
can
be
an
open
conversation
with
each
other
and
open
communication.
H
I
think
it's
a
an
important
thing
we
work
on
and
it
takes
a
skill
to
learn
how
to
do
it
and
there's
a
subtlety,
sometimes
sometimes
it's
okay,
to
be
open
and
and
upfront
about
it
and
and
state
clearly,
and
it's
a
balance
to
do
that.
Good
luck!
How
we
can
do
that,
I'm
trying
to
learn
how
to
do
that
as
well
with
48
seconds
a
thank
you
to
the
city
auditor,
who,
I
think
has
been
doing
an
incredible
job,
we're
all
talking
better
about
the
ideas
of
reimagine
and
equity.
H
At
this
time
in
san
jose,
the
auditor's
office
is
doing
a
very
good
job
with
these
things.
Good
luck!
How
we
can
continue
these
practices,
it's
these
ideals,
that
of
community
held
and
safety.
That
is
what
can
really
prepare
us
for
the
next
few
years
I
feel
and
and
san
jose
has
taken
a
really
intelligent,
smart
way
to
to
go
about
this.
Thank
you.
Immensely.
H
G
Thank
you
so
much
well,
thank
you,
blaire.
You
know
for
helping
us
follow
the
agenda,
it
takes
a
village,
and
you
know
the
issues
of
preparedness
are
really
important
and
when
blair
talks
about
you
know
how
we
need
to
stay
focused
on
the
real
potential
likelihood
of
a
earthquake
is
really
really
critical,
and
you
know
we
don't
like
to
think
about
that.
You
know
with
our
our
you
know
what
we
don't
see.
G
You
know
humans
just
respond
to
the
threats
that
they
could
see
in
front
has
a
face,
and
but
these
are
threats
that
we
don't
necessarily
see,
but
we
have
to
really
work
with
our.
You
know
to
use
our
our
brains
to
really
understand
the
threats
that
are
there
and
that's
what
you
know
separates
us
as
a
species
that
we
have
forethought,
and
we
can
do
these
things,
and
this
forethought
that
you
know
when
he
talks
about
2023.
G
You
know
we're
here.
The
the
former
chief
scientist
of
the
uk
government
is
saying
we
have
to
move
quickly.
What
we
do,
I
believe,
the
next
three
to
four
years
will
determine
the
future
of
humanity,
and
so
that's
three
years
he's
talking
about
it
was
like
I
didn't
even
really.
I
thought
it
was
four
to
five
and
I
read
it
again.
G
It
was
three
years
and
that's
what
my
husband
is
saying,
as
a
biologist
too,
is
that
the
threats
that
are
coming
that
are
likely
to
be
coming
to
san
jose
are
so
immense
and
we're
not
planning
for
them.
You
know,
for
you,
know,
the
immense
change
that
could
happen
right
now
in
in
our
environment,
the
floods,
the
fires
and
the
heat,
the
heat
waves,
the
drought,
you
know
the
and
and
then,
of
course,
the
earthquakes
and
our
pandemic.
G
On
top
of
everything
else,
you
know,
and
so
it's
it's
hard
and
we
have
to
start
planning
for
these
things
and
making
the
changes
to
build
resiliency
into
our
community.
You
know
and
that
that
needs
to
be
our
focus
is,
is
really
preparing
us
to
be
self-sufficient.
Really,
it's
really
getting
us
to
work
towards
our
self-sufficiency,
because
the
governments
aren't
necessarily
doing
it.
So
we
have
to
be
prepared.
C
B
Yeah,
I
mean
I'd
hate
to
see
if
anything
really
major
happen,
because
this
city
can't
handle
minor
things,
remember
the
floods
that
was
real,
real
good
job
there,
sam
and
emergency
response,
real
good,
real
good
job.
There
really
good
job
look
at
here
in
california.
You've
got
floods,
fires,
mudslides,
droughts,
earthquakes,
not
necessarily
in
that
order.
This
area
is
known
for
it.
B
You
know
people
like
to
talk
a
lot
about
native
american
things
native
american
people
were
clearly
clearly
knew
what
was
going
on
with
these
kind
of
things
why
they
moved
around
a
lot
and
they
knew
not
to
build
the
flood
zones.
They
told
the
europeans
not
to,
and
they
still
did
it
anyway
and
we're
flooded.
These
guys
knew
what
to
do.
We
don't
know
what
to
do.
B
Good
luck
because
these
guys
are
ill-prepared
for
anything
can't
put
out
fires.
The
police
can't
solve
crimes.
I
mean
I
mean.
What's
a
cop
gonna,
do
who
makes
a
half
a
million
dollars
a
year
because
they
do
he's
gonna
show
up
and
save
the
day.
No
he's
gonna
go
run
to
tahoe
and
get
on
his
jet
ski.
That's.
What
he's
gonna
do
if
there
was
anything
wrong
here
right,
these
guys,
don't
do
anything.
B
They
know
how
to
write
citations,
they're
good
at
that
right,
they're
good
at
showing
up
to
the
kindergarten
class
and
telling
them
how
you
know
how
good
they
are.
You
know
they're
the
good
guys
or
maybe
handing
out
a
backpack
they're
good
at
that,
okay,
but
you
guys
need
to
get
a
plan
together,
because
I
can't
imagine
if
something
really
bad
happens.
It'll
it'll
be
a
catastrophe.
B
C
C
F
Thanks
chair
parallels
appreciate
it
I'll
move
the
report
in
just
a
moment.
I
did
just
want
to
ask
staff
if
anyone
is
on
the
call.
I
wanted
to
ask
about
the
private
sector
construction
activity,
which
I
understand
we
had
kind
of
a
high
water
mark,
I
believe,
but
it
seems
like
it
declined
significantly,
and
I
was
about
75
percent
across
the
three
categories
and
I
just
wanted
to
know
if
we
had
a
little
more
interpretation
or
I
hesitate
to
use
the
word
forecast.
But
what
what
our
interpretation
of
that
data
is?
A
Hi
councilmember,
this
is
jim,
shannon
city's
budget
director.
So
thank
you
for
the
question
yeah.
So
last
year
was
a
very
weird
year
in
that
we
had
a
huge
portion
come
in
at
the
first
couple
of
months
so
last
year
I
think
we
had
about
almost
50
percent
of
our
total
valuation
came
in
in
july
and
august,
and
so
I
think
that's
the
biggest
reason
why
you
see
such
those
huge
percentage
change
there.
Now
we
want
to
definitely
keep
an
eye
on
that
right.
That's
been.
A
F
Understood,
okay
sounds
good,
and
this
is
a
this.
Is
a
bi-monthly
financial
report
correct
so
we'll
so
we'll
have
some
more
data
in
a
couple
of
months.
Okay,
great
thanks
that
that
sounds
good
to
me.
That
was
that
was
the
main
thing
that
stuck
out
to
me.
So
I
will
move
acceptance
of
the
report
so
good.
A
C
A
A
There
we
go
so
on
this
first
slide.
The
city
established
fire
department,
emergency
response
time.
Performance
standard
is
a
rival
on
scene
within
eight
minutes.
Eighty
percent
of
the
time,
the
city
emergency
response
time
performance
standard
includes
three
distinct
segments,
including
the
alarm,
processing,
time,
turnout,
time
and
travel
time
in
fiscal
year,
202
2021,
the
department's
monthly
performance
average,
was
arrival
within
eight
minutes,
72.55
percent
of
the
time
which
is
7.45
below
the
80
standard
and
on
the
screen.
You
can
see
that
those
the
three
components
highlighted
that
construe
the
response
time.
A
The
fire
department
also
provides
advanced
life
support
first
responder
services
under
an
agreement
between
the
city
of
san
jose
and
the
santa
clara
county
emergency
medical
services
agency.
This
agreement
provides
for
first
responder
funding
contingent
upon
meeting
certain
performance
requirements,
including
scene
arrival
within
7
minutes
and
59
seconds,
for
calls
require
requiring
code
3,
which
is
lights
and
sirens
response.
A
Under
this
standard,
the
time
starts
when
a
resource
is
dispatched
and
stops
upon
arrival
at
the
dispatch
location,
specifically
the
turnout,
time
and
travel
time.
Segments
together
must
be
7
minutes
and
59
seconds
or
under
that
to
meet
the
standard.
The
fire
department
has
met
the
county's
90
standard
for
the
last
39
months.
A
And
this
graph,
I
shows
the
response
time
performance
for
july
2019
july
2020.
So
this
is
the
month-to-month
performance
for
both
the
city
eight
minute.
Eighty
percent
of
the
time
standard,
which
is
in
red
and
the
county
eight
minute
90
of
the
time
standard,
which
is
in
green
for
the
fiscal
year
2019
through
2020.
A
This
slide
is
for
month-to-month
performance
for
both
the
city
eight
minute,
eighty
percent
of
the
time
response
standard,
which
is
in
red
and
the
county.
Eighty
eight
minute.
Ninety
percent
of
the
time,
which
is
in
green
and
the
fire
department
response
time
performance,
is
sensitive
to
private
ambulance
system
performance.
A
A
The
result
was
an
increase
in
instances
where
the
fire
department
resources
were
unavailable
for
subsequent
calls
in
their
first
due
response
areas,
kind
of
want
to
draw
your
attention
on
the
on
the
upper
line
in
green
you'll
notice
in
january.
The
number
is
88.95
there's
some
adjustment
that
we
can
make
to
those,
and
so
the
final
adjusted
performance
was
reconciled
to
a
little
over
90
for
january
of
that
month
and
that
helped
us
get
to
the
39
consecutive
months.
A
So
here
is
an
overlay
of
santa
clara,
county's,
coveted
19,
positive
patient
hospitalizations
over
the
same
time
period,
and
it
reflects
the
relationship
between
ambulance
availability
and
the
fire
department
response
time,
and
you
can
see
here,
the
department
was
engaged
in
county
ems
to
discuss
response
network
underperformance
caused
by
delayed
ambulance
arrivals.
The
final
adjusted
performance
for
this
period,
like
I
mentioned
on
the
last
slide,
was
90.53
percent.
A
This
graph
shows
performance
for
alarm,
processing,
turnout,
time
and
travel
time
response
time
segments
from
july
2019
to
june
2021.
The
blue
line
indicates
monthly
call
volume
generally
response
time.
Performance
is
sensitive
to
call
volume.
However,
as
previously
mentioned
fire
department
response
time,
performance
was
at
its
lowest
in
january
of
2021
during
the
peak
of
the
covet
19
infections,
due
to
high
quality
volumes
and
unavailable
ambulance
resources.
A
However,
conditions
are
ever-changing
response.
Time
performance
can
be
influenced
by
multiple
factors.
In
fiscal
year
2021
the
department
experienced
its
highest
recorded
call
volume
at
94
784
incidents,
development,
including
high
density
housing,
infill
traffic
patterns,
economic
conditions,
call
volume
and
recently
public
health
conditions,
all
impact,
emergency
response,
resource
availability
and
performance.
A
A
G
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Thank
you,
raul,
corrales,
for
your
education
about
the
topic.
Yes,
I
am
aware
of
it
and
you
know
I
start
thinking
about
the
response
times
and
that
I
don't
know
what
that
sound
is
in
the
back.
If
anybody's
got
their
microphone
on,
I
don't
know
oh
you're,
so
good.
Thank
you
very
good
is
that
you
know
this
has
always
been
an
issue.
It
was
like
when
we
thinking
about
traffic
calming
and
how
we
want
to
have.
G
Let's
say
you
know
some
type
of
traffic
coming
in
in
our
streets
where
we
could
slow
the
traffic
with
some
type
of
whatever
they
call
those
things
to
slow
the
traffic.
They
always
say.
Well,
the
fire
department
won't
put
up
with
that
and
it
will
slow.
You
know
response
times,
and
and
so
we
we
really
have
these.
You
know
wild
streets
that
you
know
the
speed
is
so
uncontrollable.
G
You
know,
and
we
have
to
engineer
it
in
and
and
yet
you
know
to
oh
speed.
Bumps
is
what
I'm
talking
about,
and
so
so
basically
you
know,
I
think,
like
in
my
neighborhood,
where
stockton
avenue.
We
need
to
have
really
truck
routes
where
the
the
fire
trucks
would
go,
which
would
be
on
coleman
in
an
example
here
and
and
so
that
we
could
have
the
speed
bumps
on
stockton
avenue
to
slow
the
traffic
and
and
where
they
would
know.
G
The
route
would
be
to
take
coleman
if
they
wanted
to
go
north
and
south,
and
you
know
we
can
have
that
on
these
industrial
roads
but
are
and
then
the
same
thing
applies
for
when
I've
been
trying
to
get
what
we
call
home
zones
where
you
know
it
would
be
no
through
street
and
or
in
our
case.
Let's.
You
know
where
there's
industrial
at
the
end
of
sheila
avenue,
you'd
put
balustrades
some
protection
and
it
would
be.
G
You
know
you
either
come
from
the
alameda
or
stockton,
depending
on
it
wouldn't
be
a
through
street
and
that
yes,
it
would.
It
would
slow
the
fire
trucks,
but
they
would
know
I'm
saying
that
they
could
know.
What
is
the
routes,
I'm
sure,
there's
technology.
That
tells
us
the
way
way
to
go,
and
you
know,
and
so
that
if
you
know
that
that's
the
way
we
can
solve
the
problems
without
it
being
like.
No.
B
Yeah,
I
hope
you
guys
would
be
able
to
improve
those
response
times.
It
seems
as
if
there's
many
fire
departments,
but
it
takes
forever
for
the
department
to
show
up,
I
mean
remember
the
flames
on
hillsdale
across
the
street
from
the
fire
department
it
burned
down
in
flames.
Now
an
auto
parts
store
next
to
the
gas
station,
yeah
that
that's
that
makes
me
feel
real
safe.
With
this
department,
I
had
a
fire
in
my
neighborhood
took
forever
for
you
guys
to
show
up,
I'm
the
one
who
called
it
in
I
waited
around.
B
I
had
to
leave
to
go
to
work,
and
I
never
heard
any
sirens.
I
mean
it
took
you
guys
forever
to
show
up
a
woman
died
there
woman
I
knew
as
a
child
and
her
granddaughter
passed
away
in
that
fire
and
the
whole
thing
was
suspicious
anyway,
but
regardless
it
took
forever
for
you
guys
to
show
up
when
I
was
a
kid
same.
Neighborhood
place
went
up
in
flames,
guys
garage
and
up.
B
It
took
forever
people
to
get
on
top
of
their
rooftops
and
hose
down
their
rooftops,
because
you
guys
took
forever
to
show
up
granted.
That
was
a
long
time
ago,
but
you
don't
have
a
very
good
history
of
response
times
matter
of
fact:
weren't
you
guys
under.
Are
you
still
under
federal
observation
or
auditing
or
something
because
you
guys
were
so
horrible
at
your
responses?
I
want
this
guy
who's
speaking
today
from
the
fire
department.
I
want
you
guys.
B
I
want
you
to
answer
my
questions
and
tell
me
what
you've
done
in
the
last
three
two
or
three
years
to
rectify
this
problem,
because
I
mean
what's
going
to
happen.
If
something
major
happens
like
a
flood
or
whatever
or
a
major
fire,
are
you
guys
prepared
to
do
it
or
have
have
a
backup
department,
say
maybe
santa
clara
or
the
county
to
to
help
you
guys
out?
Because
it
doesn't
seem
like
you
have
the
personnel
or
the
speed
to
to
get
things
done
bottom
line?
B
H
Hi
ray
riekmann
here,
thank
you
for
this
item,
an
apology
that
you
know
for
my
words
in
the
previous
consent
calendar.
I
know
they
can
be
a
bit
strong,
but
hopefully
they're
words
that
can
be
thought
out
and
to
give
yourselves
direction
and
how
to
consider
our
our
lives
in
the
next
few
years
as
a
community,
as
tessa
said
very
nicely.
H
So
I
just
thought
I'd
say
hi
to
the
fire
person
who's
offering
on
this
item
and
and
to
acknowledge
they.
I
feel
they
are
planning
well
for
the
next
few
years
and
it's
how
that
planning
can
then
translate
to
community
and
everyday
persons,
and
we
can
all
have
a
sense
of
what
to
expect
in
the
next
few
years
that
that
practice
is
community
safety
and
community
health
and
our
better
self.
Thank
you.
C
F
Thanks
chair-
and
I
I
really
just
want
to
start
by
thanking
you
all
for
the
the
clarity
of
the
performance
report.
I
I
feel
I've
mentioned
this
to
the
chief
before,
but
I
think
that
the
focused
presentation
of
how
we
measure
success,
how
we're
performing
and
what
we're
doing
to
improve
performance
feels
like
a
really
great
way
of
summarizing
how
we're
doing
and
what
we're
doing
to
do
better.
And
so
I,
just
as
you
know,
some
of
our
work
on
the
smart
cities
committee.
F
I
was
hoping
to
hear
a
little
bit
more
on
that
last
piece
of
the
strategies
which
of
those
you
think,
are
highest
potential
and
how
much
impact
you
think
we're
likely
to
get
from
any
of
those.
So
are
you
able
to
add
a
little
more
context
around
that
last
slide,
on
which
strat
on
the
strategies
you're
implementing.
K
Thank
you,
council
member.
This
is
robert
stop
in
fire
chief
yeah.
I
can
give
you
a
general
description
of
what
these
initiatives
are
intending
to
achieve.
I'm
happy
to
report
that
this
is
quite
a
short
list
compared
to
what
we
started
on
a
few
years
back
prior
to
when
we
were
actually
meeting
that
county
90
response
time
and
so
going
forward.
What
we're
looking
for
in
the
order
of
what
you
see
on
the
slide
there
is
in
the
area
of
resourcing.
K
We
continue
to
work
on
a
daily
basis
on
deployment
refinements
a
little
more
focus
on
real-time
move-ups,
where
areas
are
vacated
more
assertive
in
terms
of
getting
resources
backfilled
into
those
areas.
We
also
through
council
budget
action,
have
a
process
and
a
funding
source
to
provide
additional
resources
where
we
take
units
out
of
service
for
mandated
training,
and
so
where,
in
the
past
we
would
have
just
run
short
and
and
negatively
impacted
our
response
times.
We
still
are
today
able
to
provide
overtime
hours.
K
Our
our
next
report
you'll
hear
a
little
bit
more
about
that
and
some
concerns
in
that
area,
but
for
the
most
part,
that
particular
resourcing
item
is
an
ongoing
process
and
and
has
been
effective
for
us
in
terms
of
new
deployments.
Council
member,
you
are
aware
that
measure
t
was
passed
in
november
of
2018
and
were
well
underway
in
some
of
those
construction
projects,
and
so
engines,
37,
32
and
36
are
are
funded
directly
by
measure
t
and
they
will
result
in
the
deployment
of
engines,
37,
32
and
36.
K
We
have
done
some
analysis
on
the
impact.
Each
of
those
stations
will
will
positively
impact
our
our
performance.
As
things
stand
today,
we
even
suspect
that
engine
32,
which
will
be
located
near
story
and
mclaughlin,
may
end
up
being
either
our
busiest
or
one
of
our
busiest
engine
companies
once
it's
put
into
services,
but
we
know
that's
going
to
have
a
positive
impact
on
on
response
times
in
the
aggregate.
F
Me
and
chief-
I
sorry
I
don't
mean
to
interrupt,
but
I
just
I
just
wanted
to
know,
and
I
think
you
just
hit
on
one
which
of
these
you
think
are
gonna
most
move
the
needle,
so
it
doesn't
have
to
be
all
of
them.
But
just
I
appreciate
the
walk
through
but
which,
which
ones
are
the
biggest
bang
for
our
buck
and
how
much?
How
much
impact
do
you
think
we're
likely
to
get
on
on
in
terms
of
the
actual
metric
that
we're
looking
at
so
largest.
K
Impact
by
way
of
maybe
several
percentage
points
gain
would
be
that
one
that
additional
resource
deployment
in
terms
of
more
modest
gains.
I
look
forward
to
the
two
items
combined,
which
would
be
border
drops
and
cad
cad
dispatch
links.
The
idea
there
is
that
we
are
going
to
work
more
closely
with
our
neighboring
partners
and
where
it
makes
sense,
we
would
cover
some
of
their
jurisdictions
automatically
and
they
might
cover
some
of
ours,
and
so
that
would
just
sort
of
smooth
the
borders
and
we
wouldn't
have
artificial
lines.
F
A
C
D
D
C
D
J
K
You
council,
so
we
had
some.
We
were
able
to
get
a
review
with
the
city
manager's
office
and
we
had
some
very
good
questions
come
back
to
us
and
so
we're
working
with
the
with
the
consultant
to
get
answers
to
those
questions.
I
hope
it's
within
a
matter
of
one
month
or
two
for
the
fire
communications
staffing
study
to
be
completed.
D
K
Right
you're
you're,
hitting
the
the
nail
on
the
head
there
county
is
implementing
a
new
cad
system.
In
fact
they're.
They
were
working
on
opening
an
entirely
new
communications
center.
They
are
key
to
our
integration
across
the
county
because
of
some
of
the
dispatching
work
that
they
do
and
so
their
their
system.
Availability
for
integration
is
kind
of
the
first
in
the
queue
and
so
we're
just
waiting
on
them
to
be
completed,
and
my
understanding
is
they're
they're
way
past
the
purchasing
phase
and
they're
getting
close
to
implementation.
D
K
Yes,
thank
you
for
the
question.
I'm
I'm
a
little
reluctant
because
I've
been
a
little
speculative
in
terms
of
what
exactly
they
are
doing.
Our
role
has
been
to
report
what
we're
experiencing
in
the
field-
and
I
don't
know
if
I've
ever
had
a
chance
to
really
explain
this,
but
we're
under
two
separate
contract
systems.
So
they
have
a
direct
contract
with
county
ems
and
they
have
their
own
performance
requirements.
K
D
All
right,
I'm
gonna,
I
don't
bump
myself,
you
don't
even
have
to
answer
that
chief
sapien.
If
there's
anything
that
we
can
do
to
support
you
in
getting
closer,
please
let
us
know,
I'm
sure
that
you're
doing
everything
you
can
within
within
your
your
role
in
your
authority.
So
thank
you
for
your
service
and
thank
you
for
keeping
us
all
safe
and
hopefully
healthy
as
as
much
as
we
could
be
during
this
last
fiscal
year.
Thank
you.
C
Yeah,
thank
you
so
and
I'll
save
most.
The
comments
here
for
the
next
discussion,
but
over
half
of
my
district
is
that
hot
red
in
the
middle
there,
which
is
serviced
by
station
1,
30
three
eight
and
we
know
that's
also
the
core
of
downtown,
where
we
are
building
more
densifying
rise
and
there's
going
to
be
a
huge
need
in
the
future,
for
I
think
intensifying
service
there
and
again
it's
already
the
area
where
we
know
right.
C
But
we
have
a
plan
of
action
on
how
we're
going
to
to
staff
up
so
but
I'll
save
that
for
the
next
presentation
just
wanted
to
go
and
if
you
can
go
to
the
the
slide
on
it
was
the
response
time
slide,
six
or
or
five
either
one
and
just
wanted
to
see
chief
I'd.
Obviously
we
had
many
years
where
we
were
below
the
the
county
ems
code,
three
compliance
of
ninety
percent
and
we've.
C
You
know
actions
that
we've
taken
that
have
led
to
us
being
so
consistent
now
and
not
seeing
a
drop,
and
I
know
you
have
the
key
strategies
in
place
on
that
last
slide,
but
we've
had
some
other
factors
at
play
over
the
years
just
wanted
to
see
if
you
can
give
a
kind
of
a
snapshot
in
regards
to
why
we're
seeing
so
much
success.
That's
that's
now
been
more
consistent
for
this
committee,
but
obviously,
when
I,
when
I
joined
the
committee,
it
was
nothing
but
below
90
and-
and
that
was
very
concerning.
K
Right,
thank
you,
chair
the
the
I
and
I'm
as
I
sit
here
recalling
our
history.
There.
You
were
involved
in
much
of
the
progress
that
we've
made.
I
think,
first
and
foremost,
we
saw
the
biggest
bump
when
we
started
to
restore
some
of
the
post-recession
budget
cuts
right
so
station
35
we
had
lost
engine
35
and
that
was
restored
temporarily
under
safer
but
later
restored
in
the
budget
as
well.
K
And
then
we
made
an
exchange
of
some
squads
that
had
been
deployed
to
be
able
to
recover
engine
30
on
ausure,
which
reinforced
some
of
our
downtown
highest
call
volume,
performance
area,
and
then,
in
that
same
budget
year,
engine
34
was
restored
and
the
combination
of
those
three
resources
had,
I
think,
the
biggest
impact.
I
would
not
diminish
a
more
recent
advancement,
which
is
in
cooperation
with
the
department
of
transportation
and
the
police
department.
K
Certainly,
some
of
the
policies
like
I
mentioned
before
the
the
backfield
for
training
has
helped
quite
a
bit
and
we've
made
quite
a
bit
of
advancement
in
just
human
performance,
and
so
the
turnout
time
number
has
dropped
significantly
and
now
performs
well
above
the
eight
percent
standard
every
month.
So
I
think
many
of
those
things
combined
along
with
I
think
just
a
concerted
awareness
and
improvement
in
in
data
for
us
to
understand
what's
happening,
has
all
led
to
us
making
better
decisions.
C
Okay,
thank
you
yeah.
I
appreciate
that
and
obviously
it's
been
it's
been
great
to
see
the
numbers
achieving
over
that
90,
as
we
were
talking
about
previously,
it
wasn't
just
about
meeting
the
the
county
standard
there.
It
was
about
trying
to
to
get
to
these
calls
and
ensuring
we
had
the
ability
to
get
to
the
calls
in
a
timely
manner
about
saving
saving
lives.
So
with
that,
I
think
we're
we're
through
with
comment
and
did
we
get
a
motion?
I
apologize.
B
K
F
C
K
K
Fire
department
provides
all
hazard
emergency
response,
spanning
208
square
miles
within
city
limits
and
an
additional
27
miles
of
unincorporated
areas
under
agreement
with
the
county
of
santa
clara
san
jose
fire
department
also
participates
in
in-county,
automated
automatic
and
mutual
aid
and
in
the
statewide
mutual
aid
system.
In
fiscal
year
2021
the
department
responded
to
94
784
incidents.
K
K
K
There
are
nine
distinct
ranks
within
the
sworn
staffing
corps,
with
the
greatest
numbers
of
positions
in
the
ranks
of
fire,
captain
fire
engineer
and
firefighter
sworn
personnel
in
the
ranks
of
battalion
chief
fire.
Captain
arson,
investigator
fire
prevention,
inspector
fire,
engineer
and
firefighter
are
represented
by
san
jose
firefighters,
iaff,
local
230.,
the
fire
chief
assistant,
fire
chief
and
deputy
fire
chief
physicians
are
represented
under
unit
99.
K
K
The
department
deploys
additional
response
resources
through
cross
staffing.
These
include
two
breathing
air
support
units,
a
hazardous
incident
team
and
two
type,
three
firing.
When
crosstalk
resources
are
deployed,
the
primary
resource
is
taken
out
of
service.

Currently,

so
that

then
we
have
additional

G
Thank
you,
ro
braless,
for
having
such
a
good
class
of
our
democracy,
you're
doing
a
great
job
of
helping
us
follow
along.
So
you
know
I
I
guess
I
wanted.
I
definitely
wanted
to
thank
the
fire
departments
for
their
response
in
our
community.
We
had
like
three
fires
in
my
neighborhood
and
you
guys
did
a
really
great
job
of
coming.
Just
really
want
to
thank
you
for
that
and
very
fabulous
response
time,
and
it
was
just
great
you
know.
So.
Thank
you.
G
G
They're
going
to
get
vaccinated
and-
and
things
like
that-
and
you
know
I'm
not
going
to
push
for
that-
I'm
okay,
if
they
don't
want
to
be
vaccinated,
but
you
know
the
thing
is:
is
that
we
they
should
be
wearing
masks
and
staying
six
feet
apart
and
encouraging
that
you
know,
and
so-
and
you
know
that
that's
just
a
comment.
You
know
to
really
you
know
we're
having
trouble
enforcing
these
things,
but
I
think
that
you
know,
especially
when
we're
seeing
you
know
you're
saying
so
many
absentees
from
covet
and
things
like
that.
G
I
think
that's
just
a
simple
thing
that
we
can
all
do
and
we
need
to
be
required
to
do
that
and
so
that
that's
just
that
that
that
comment
about
the
fire
departments-
and
you
know
the
staffing
and
it
was
you
know
that
was
it.
It
was
interesting
to
see
all
of
your
equipment
and
what
a
wonderful
amount
of
equipment
you
have
to
keep
us
safe
and,
and
that
and
that's
basically
it
you
know
just.
G
I
would
really
like
to
really
say
that,
in
terms
of
our
response
times
that
we
we
do
create
safe
streets
as
a
prevention
for
so
much
of
the
need
for
our
fire.
You
know
when
we,
when
cars
are
going
so
fast
and
running
and
creating
accidents
that
we
really
need
to
put
in
our
traffic
calming
and
have
that
be
a
priority.
H
Hi
claire
beekman
here
I
hope
my
initial
public
comments
that
can
send
time
can
be
of
some
help
and
relevance
to
to
items
such
as
this
and
with
the
ideas
of
equity
and
reimagine
we're
trying
to
work
towards,
and
I
think,
with
the
ideas
of
policing.
I
think
we're
about
at
our
limit
of
what
I
think
we're
at
the
numbers
we
need
to
be
at.
H
These
things
out,
it's
kind
of
a
relief
to
you,
know
fire
and
police,
but
I
think
there's
a
sensibility
about
the
sharing
of
this
sort
of
tech
between
different
cities
that
actually
it's
it's
a
more
community
oriented
process,
and
I
hope
we
don't
forget
that
and
that
we
want
to
still
practice
those
kind
of
ideas
and
ideals.
I
think
it's
a
it's
a
sharing
of
technology
that
that
can
help
create
the
ideas
of
unity.
We
look
for
yeah.
I
guess
I
guess
that's
about
all.
Thank
you.
C
B
I
really
have
a
hard
time
listening
to
how
they
don't
have
enough
staff,
and
all
this
quote
over
time.
This,
like
this,
is
the
police
department.
You
guys,
you
guys,
use
this
city
as
an
atm
to
be
able
to
buy
extra
things
for
yourselves
all
these
crazy
overtime
hours.
I
don't
believe
any
of
it.
You
guys
manipulate
the
schedule
exactly
how
you
want
them
to
work
for
you
to
get
in
to
get.
You
know
to
be
able
to
have
overtime
and
go
on
these
long
vacations,
like
you
guys
do,
and
then
I
hear.
B
Oh,
we
don't
have
anybody
who
you
know.
We
don't
have
enough
staff.
You
know
we're
not
able
to
hire
enough
people,
because
we,
you
know,
there's
not
enough
paramedics,
there's
not
enough
people
who
who
want
to
try
out.
You
know,
for
you
know,
for
this
winning
team.
Well,
the
police
department
did
the
same
thing
harder
to
get
out
of
this
sjpd
than
to
get
into
harvard.
Are
you
guys
doing
the
same
thing
where
it's
just
like
this
private
little
club?
B
B
I
don't
believe
you
and
I
would
like
the
chief
to
actually
explain
to
me
why
there's
that
much
overtime
yeah,
you
can
read
off
of
the
slide,
but
I
mean
come
on
I'd
like
to
have
a
real
face-to-face
conversation
about
about
this
anna
and
the
police
chief
about
this
overtime
and
staffing
issues.
I
don't
believe
that
at
all,
people
are
lined
up
to
become
police
and
fire,
maybe
not
in
san
jose.
Is
it
that
bad
to
work
for
work
in
this
city?
I
don't
know.
Maybe
it
is.
B
Maybe
it's
not
the
kind
of
people
people
want
to
work
with.
Maybe
that's
why
people
are
quitting
all
the
time.
I
don't
know
I
don't
know,
but
what
I'd
like
to
know
is
is
what
that
the
response
times
need
to
be
better
than
eight
minutes,
given
the
amount
of
fire
houses
we
have
everywhere,
and
these
new
high-tech
places
you
guys
need
to
have.
C
C
You
know,
I
think,
it's
very
telling
when
we
can
see
in
comparison
to
other
cities
around
us,
but
also
other
large
cities
throughout
the
country
we
we
know.
This,
unfortunately,
is
our
reality
that
we
are
one
of
the
most
understaffed
big
cities
in
the
country,
and
that
goes
for
every
single
department,
obviously,
and
and
when
it
comes
to
public
safety.
C
C
Obviously
this
is
on
our
city
manager
and
on
the
council
to
ensure
that
we
are
doing
so
we're
planning
for
that
growth
and
development
and
and
that
we're
planning
the
city
services
to
be
tied
along
with
it
or
the
growth
of
the
city
services.
I
should
say
to
be
to
be
tied
along
with
it,
so
a
couple
specific
areas
of
of
concern
and
just
wanted
to
see
your
feedback.
C
I
know
we've
had
ongoing
issues
from
time
to
time
of
hiring
and
retaining
paramedics,
and
I
wanted
to
see-
and
you
put
that
in
there
obviously
in
in
your
your
slides
as
well
on
on
the
focus
of
you,
know,
paramedics
evaluating
and
you
can
go
to
that.
Actually,
the
slide
right
before
this.
If
you
don't
mind
just
while
I'm
talking
about
it,
thanks
so
evaluate
an
increased
number
of
support.
Paramedics,
evaluating
accelerate
hiring
of
licensed
paramedics,
revisiting
paramedic
training,
exploring
recruitment
and
development
opportunities.
C
K
Thank
you
chair
great
question.
These
are
short,
medium
and
long
term
strategies
that
you
see
the
shortest
term
is
sort
of
looking
at
our
own
workforce.
We
do
have
what
we
call
non-practicing
paramedics,
who
were
formally
front-line
medics
in
the
department
who
promoted
out
of
the
position,
however,
they're
still
trained
and
licensed,
and
so
to
be
able
to
mobilize
that
strategy
one.
K
So
I
think,
that's
achievable
within
months
three
or
four,
maybe,
and
and
some
are
actually
non-practicing
in
our
city,
but
work
elsewhere,
so
some
can
be
brought
online
fairly
quickly
as
well.
So
that's
a
short-term
strategy.
Accelerated
hiring
is
a
medium-term
strategy.
Some
departments,
already
right
now
in
the
state
of
california
or
are
doing,
are
doing
lateral
recruitments.
K
I
have
mixed
feelings
about
lateral
recruitments
because
we're
basically,
as
a
fire
service
taking
you
know,
we
may
benefit
from
it,
but
the
department
we
take
from
will
will
have
to
figure
it
out
on
their
own.
I
know
we're
still
kind
of
an
employer
of
choice
when
it
comes
to
fire
departments
in
the
state
of
california.
There's
a
lot
of
interest
in
people
coming
here,
so
I
think.
K
Find
some
success
in
that
strategy
that
could
take
six
months
to
a
year,
I
think,
to
get
into
place
and
mobilize
paramedic
training.
We've
actually
done
this
before
in
the
department.
It
is
a
hefty
investment
where
you
take
firefighters
and
send
them
to
paramedic
school.
I
can
tell
you
just
anecdotally
my
personal
experiences.
K
So
I
think
there's
value
in
that,
but
I
think
we
would
have
to
evaluate
whether
the
investment
is
the
best
way
to
go
given
all
options
and
then,
lastly,
we
are
we're
more
than
exploring
we're
actually
setting
up
opportunities
for
partnership
with
the
explorer
program.
For
example,
we
have
students
that
are
being
sponsored
to
go
to
emt
school.
K
D
Thank
you
chair.
I
have
a
question.
You
know
what
I'm
gonna.
I
was
gonna
start
from
the
beginning
of
my
questions,
but
I'll
I'll
pick
up
where
councilmember
perales
left
off
and
continue
with
this.
This
conversation
about
exploring
the
these
are
offering
options
to
our
youth
to
enter
into
this
firefighting
paramedic
field,
and
I
wondered
how
we
can
intersect
some
of
the
programs
that
are
already
established,
and
that
way
you
don't.
You
know
you
don't
duplicate
efforts.
D
There's
san
jose
aspires
that
is
already
providing
some
funding
for
through
the
library
department
providing
some
funding
for
college
now.
I
think
this
is
a
very
viable
career
and,
and
this
could
be
included
in
that
option.
I
think
there
is
an
opportunity
there
to
hopefully
recruit
some
folks,
some
kiddos
from
high
school
and
get
them
really
early,
as
well
as
the
resiliency
core.
D
I
think
our
city
has
to
do
a
better
job
of
already
looking
at
what
exists
out
in
our
community
and
and
I'm
not
saying
that
I'm
saying
this
in
general,
not
not
about
the
fire
department
chief
sapien
in
general.
I
think
we
we
need
to
connect
our
dots,
a
lot
better
within
our
own
organization,
so
that
we
can
maximize
what
we're
doing.
D
K
Thank
you
councilmember.
I
I
think
I
think,
like
you,
I
agree.
There's
a
lot
of
opportunity
there.
I
would
have
to
be
honest
and
say
the
the
idea
is
one.
The
execution
is
the
other
and
and
we're
very
challenged
from
a
resourcing
standpoint
from
in
terms
of
recruitment
and
development
of
that
kind
of
program.
I
for
all
of
the
recruitment
that
has
to
happen
in
the
fire
department.
K
I
have
basically
two
full-time
equivalent
positions,
doing
that
for
every
position
that
exists
and
they
have
multiple
other
nations,
so
they're
not
exclusively,
so
I
think
that
kind
of
program
development
would
would
be
fantastic.
I
think
it
probably
has
some
equivalencies
across
multiple
industries,
not
just
the
fire
service,
and
I
think
I
think
higher
level
coordination
is
probably
solution
to
it.
But
I
I
strongly
agree
with
you
that
there's
there's
opportunities
for
vicinity
amongst
programs.
D
D
One
of
the
opportunities
that
we
have
right
now
is
through
the
resiliency
corps.
That
already
is
funding.
It's
providing
money
to
have
these
kids
do
a
number
of
things,
one
of
which
is
tutoring.
The
second
is
helping
with
debris,
pick
up
debris
at
our
trails,
also
helping
helping
with
the
logistics
at
some
of
the
vaccine
sites,
and
while
I
think
all
of
these
things
are
really
good
options,
I
I
see
a
better
option
for
our
youth.
D
Instead
of
maybe
picking
up
debris
from
our
trails
is,
is
connecting
them
back
to
jobs
that
could
be
waiting
for
could
be
waiting
for
them
after
they
finish
their
school
so
lee.
How
can
we?
How
can
we
better
coordinate
this
so
that
all
of
these
things,
all
of
these
loose
ends,
get
tied
up
with
our
youth
master
plan?.
A
Councilmember
arenas,
I
think
that's
an
excellent
point
and
quite
frankly,
as
a
strategy
that
could
be
complementary
to
the
two
problems
we're
having
with
filling
vacancies
and
staffing
up
as
well.
So
you
know
I
will
bring
the
chief
and
angel
together.
I
know
that
it's
very
important
to
angel
and
you
that
we're
not
just
looking
at
jobs
and
services
and
resiliency
core
today,
but
like
what
is
the
gap
in
youth
services
all
the
way
up
and
a
lot
of
these
people
should
come
and
work
for
the
city
of
san
jose.
A
D
D
And
yet
we
haven't
really
proactively
prepared
our
kids,
who
are
in
the
our
own
backyard
for
technology
jobs
and
I'm
afraid
that
outside
talent
will
flood
our
our
city
and
the
youth
that
has
been
struggling
here
in
san
jose
will
be
geared
towards
service,
oriented
industry
options.
And
so
this
is,
you
know
beyond.
I
think
the
the
fire
department.
D
Obviously,
but
I
you
know-
everybody
loves
the
fire
department
and
lots
of
kiddos
hope
to
become
one
as
they
grow,
and
I
want
to
make
sure
that
they
that
they
can
take
some
steps
to
making
that
a
reality
that
dream
a
reality,
because
it
it
it
is
hard.
It
is
hard
to
become
a
firefighter
there's.
A
lot
of
work
there's
a
lot
of
education
involved,
and
so
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
this
this
civil
service
field
is,
is
open
to
our
our
kiddos.
D
So
anything
thank
you
chief
sapien.
Hopefully
we
can
connect
with
you
offline
about
this.
I
know
that
angel
is
hoping
to
present
the
youth
master
plan
I
think,
beginning
of
next
year,
but
all
of
these
all
of
these
youth
programs
have
to
make
sense
and
fit
the
the
bigger
picture.
You
know
all
these
pieces.
These
are
puzzle
pieces
that
we
as
policy
makers,
need
to
make
sure
that
we
connect
as
well
as
we're
serving
in
different
committees,
but
thank
you
for
for
further
reporting.
C
Okay,
so,
in
regards
to,
I
think
we
have
a
lot
of
benefits
coming
with
the
three
budgeted
engine
companies
that
will
be
added.
I
am
curious
what
the
future
looks
like
after
that
and
and
want
to
hear
kind
of
what
the
growth
plan,
if,
if
any
there's
been
sort
of
discussion
on
that
beyond
that,
what
does
that
look
like
timeline
to
to
continue
to
grow,
especially
again
kind
of
sort
of
pointing
in
the
areas
where
we're
building
and
densifying
like
downtown?
K
Right
so
pretty
I
don't.
I
don't
have
it
to
share
with
you,
but
certainly
it's
in
my
experience
that
it's
pretty
compelling
data
that
says
that,
as
population
increases
increases,
it's
been
a
pretty
direct
relationship
over
many
many
years
we
have
some
things
occurring
within
the
city
that
have
been
going
on
for
a
little
while
now
that
that
are
resulting
in
changes
to
existing
response
areas.
K
I
I
do
think
more
specific
to
your
question
and
in
the
nearer
term
I
think
the
the
information
I
gave
you
on
how
much
overtime
was
worked
in
fiscal
year,
2021
and
the
driver.
So
it's
been
two
years
now,
where
we've
had
even
the
word
extraordinary,
doesn't
describe.
What's
going
on
statewide
from
a
fire
perspective
and
how
much
resourcing
we're
putting
out
there
we're
at
higher
levels
than
we've
ever
been
certainly
proven.
K
There
is
a
point
where
you
know
we're
a
little
different
than
most
other
agencies,
fire
departments.
Generally,
we
don't
give
options
for
overtime
right.
Our
daily
staffing
is
what
it
is.
If
someone
doesn't
want
to
work
overtime,
we
call
it
mandatory
over
time
and
they
have
to
come
in
and
fill
in,
and
so
we
do
have
some
you
know,
imagine
being
at
home,
making
plans
and
then
finding
out
that
your
plans
are
cancelled
on
a
fairly
regular
basis,
as
things
have
been
doing
so
busy
over
the
last
couple
years.
K
It
has
an
impact,
so
my
thoughts
are
around
whether
or
not
we
need
to
consider
a
higher
vacancy
or
a
higher
relief
staff
level
than
we
have
today.
Maybe
that'll
make
sense.
I
have
to
be
realistic
and
know
that
that's
competing
against
the
fact
that
we're
opening
more
resources
and
that's
going
to
be
costly
and
require
more
financial
resources
to
open
those
three
fire
engines
that
you
mentioned
and-
and
so
all
of
that
is
a
challenge
in
terms
of
how
we
solve
some
of
these.
K
Beyond
what
measures
we
could
provide
so
that
we
can,
we
can
kind
of
get
everybody
thinking
about
the
fact
that
we're
still
not
quite
a
stout
enough
footprint
to
provide
the
level
of
service
that
our
performance
measures
require,
and
so
I
think
my
job
is
to
continue
to
monitor
our
performance
and
refine
those
station
placements
over
time.
And
then
maybe
we
can
figure
out
a
way
to
keep
the
council
informed
on
what
the
needs
are
of
the
organization.
C
K
K
For
that
reason,
we've
added
an
academy,
a
fire
academy
which
will
begin
in
mid-november
of
this
year,
which
wasn't
initially
scheduled
but
will
be
an
additional,
hopefully
28
or
so
firefighters
will
be
added
to
the
roster,
and
then
we
have
just
on
the
heels
of
that
one
another
one
anticipating
a
large
amount
of
retirements
in
january.
We
don't
know
that
that'll
occur
yet,
but
we're
certainly
planning
an
academy
distances
but
yeah.
That
attrition
is
very
much
on
my
mind
right
now
in
terms
of
planning.
C
Sorry
I
was
on
mute
and
I
know
the
higher
ahead
has
helped
the
police
department,
and
I
know
that
as
you've
stated
here,
it
has
not
been
employed.
Yet,
as
we
start
to
see,
I
think
higher
numbers
of
attrition
and
we
need
to
have
as
party
doing
additional
academies
and,
potentially
even
you
know,
upfront
some
of
those
academies
in
in
preparation
for
people
retiring
and
leaving.
I
think
that's
a
strategy
we've
seen
successful
over
the
police
department
and
with
as
thinly
stabbed
as
we
are.
C
I
think
we
needed
to
deploy
all
those
strategies
to
in
order
just
to
keep
the
minimum
staffing
that
we
have
the
I
mean
the
other
issue
is
training,
so
I
know
we're
sort
of
in
the
the
middle
right
now
of
our
closing
down
our
training
center
and
opening
the
new
one.
How
are
you
going
to
navigate
that
with
the
academies
you
have
coming
online
right
now?
What
is
there
a
gap
that
we
need
to
fill?
How
are
you
going
to
navigate
that.
K
K
K
The
tower
the
scheduled
tower
opening
will
be
mid-year
of
next
year.
We
won't
have
the
office
and
classroom
space
quite
available
yet
in
the
facility,
but
the
tower
will
be,
and
so
we
are
starting
to
evaluate
whether
there's
opportunities
to
bring
things
like
shower
trailers,
locker
trailers,
that
sort
of
thing
in
to
bridge
time
to
complete
that
springtime
academy.
K
I'm
also
in
conversations
with
our
neighboring
agencies
to
get
a
sense
of
their
timing
and
their
use
of
their
training
facility
as
well.
So
I've
made
a
promise
to
myself
that
I'm
going
to
have
that
academy.
If
the
numbers
are
there
to
support
it,
I
just
need
to
figure
out
the
logistics
of
how
exactly
we
make
sure
there's
adequate
facilities
for
our
folks
to
get
through.
C
Okay,
great
thank
you,
and
I
know
this
is
now
annual,
we'll
be
we'll
hear
back
next
year
and
and,
as
I
said,
I'd,
I
look
forward
to
getting
the
update
on
the
specific
issue
of
paramedics
but
prior
to
our
budget
in
the
coming
year.
Just
because
I
think
the
timing
of
this
is
not
it's
not
exactly
perfect
for
tying
it
into
our
budget.
C
I
would
like
to
see
you
return
to
this
committee
before
I
would
say
before
may
so,
likely
by
april
and
in
partnership.
This
really
be
direction
for
yourself
and
for
our
assistant
city
manager,
here
lee
to
work
with
the
budget
office
and
to
be
able
to
come
up
with
a
a
better
sort
of
recommendation
and
analysis
of
a
timeline
of
what
we
just
discussed
number
one.
The
expected
attrition
rates
over
the
next
I'd
be
looking
at
five
years,
if
possible,
but
but
I'll.
C
Let
you
decide
if
you
think
that
you
know
there's
a
better
number
of
years
three
years
or
something
like
that,
but
I
I'm
really
interested
in
that
the
near-term
mid
mid
term.
I
guess
I'll
call
it
and
then
as
well
what
it
looks
like
for
the
growth
in
the
densification
that
we
have
going
on
and
and
maybe
we
could
take
some
of
that
analysis.
We
did
with
measure
t
but
then
actually
put
some
some
plans
to
it.
C
C
D
Oh
actually,
I
just
remembered
a
question,
so
thank
you,
yeah.
No,
that
my
hand
was
up
from
before
I
only
I
just
had.
The
last
question
was
about
the
arson
investigators
and
how
that
you
know
there's
only
three
of
them
and
they
don't
get
back
filled
when
they're
off
you
know
on
vacation
or
sick
or
what
have
you?
K
H
K
Thank
you,
yeah
arsenal
investigator
is
a
distinct
rank
and
we
generally
have
interest
within
the
organization
and
ongoing
development.
There's
there's
certain
minimum
qualifications
they
have
to
meet
and
they
continue
to
work
through
their
careers
to
get
there,
and
then
they
get
to
a
place
where
they're
eligible
to
to
test
for
the
position.
But
certainly
I
hear
what
you're
saying
in
terms
of
reinforcing
the
effort.
C
K
And
chair,
I
do
have
some
information
that
hopefully
can
put
that
question
at
ease
a
little
bit.
I'm
certainly
willing
to
go
back
and
do
more,
but
I
do
have
some
hard
data
for
it
if
you're
interested
in
hearing
it
sure,
so
our
staff
has
looked
at
expected
attrition
levels
in
the
next
three
years
up
to
fiscal
year,
23
2024
retirement
eligibility
for
those
years
in
21
22,
which
is
the
year.
I
told
you
that
I
have
concern
about.
We
have
38
that
are
that
are
eligible.
K
K
We
have
42
people
who
are
eligible.
I
want
to
emphasize
for
each
of
these
years
that
eligibility
does
not
necessarily
equate
to
behavior.
There
are
some
folks
I,
for
example,
I
I'm
in
my
32nd
year
here
several
years,
past
retirement
eligibility,
and
we
have
quite
a
few
others
that
are
in
the
same
position
and
then,
finally,
year
23
2024.
There
are
19
personnel
that
become
eligible
for
retirement.
C
F
C
L
L
Thank
you
all
right.
We
go
to
the
next
slide
here
all
right
members.
My
name
is
lieutenant
brian
spears.
I
currently
oversee
the
special
investigations,
intelligence
and
vice
administrative
unit.
I
have
taken
over
for
the
retired
palm
who
retired
six
seven
months
ago,
so
I
am
familiar
for
the
most
part
with
with
the
audit
and
information.
L
At
the
time
there
was
107
illicit
massage
businesses
closed
in
this
report,
pd
recommended
closing
all
three
elements
of
the
council's
priorities
in
march
of
2019.
The
city
council
closed
the
priority.
As
a
part
of
the
council
priority
setting
session
pd
reported
out
on
this
fists
on
the
programs,
including
the
dates
from
2019
2020
with
the
total
of
212
illicit
massage,
is
closed
in
2020..
L
L
L
However,
problems
still
still
a
few
issues.
If
I
have
the
next
slide,
please,
and-
and
what
I
wanted
to
illustrate
here-
is
just
real
simple-
the
face
of
a
business
brothel,
which
is
just
an
operating
business
compared
to
a
residential
brothel
which
the
setting
is
advanced
into
large-scale
apartment
complexes.
L
L
So
from
the
legal
perspective,
whenever
a
complaint
is
still
received
from
received
from
the
pd,
we
will
look
at
it
from
a
variety
of
of
different
directions,
bringing
in
the
human
trafficking
unit
to
assist
with
with
the
success
rescue
of
survivors
versus.
Is
this
a
vice
problem
based
off
of
the
the
problem
or
the
criteria?
L
So
we
will
continue
to
work
in
collaboration,
but
we're
adding
the
human
trafficking
unit
within
to
the
equation
and,
as
you
follow
it
down,
regulatory
with
the
business
tax
systems
and
and
again,
I
will
circle
back
with
the
programs
that
have
been
implemented,
including
the
education.
The
landlord
education
program
is
still
proven
to
be
successful
and
we
will
still
maintain
our
partnerships
and
collaborations
with
the
community
solutions
and
south
bay
coalition
to
in
human
trafficking.
Next
slide,
please.
L
To
get
a
little
deeper
into,
who,
who
will
be,
will
be
within
the
collaboration
after
having
an
extensive
conversation
and
meetings
with
the
human
trafficking
unit,
the
human
trafficking
unit
kind
of
explained
in
great
detail
of
house
how
they're
finding
their
success
when
they're
dealing
with
residential
brothels?
And
so
I
wanted
to
make
sure
that
we
highlight
some
of
the
involved
parties.
The
large
majority
of
the
parties
and
that
and
they're
listed
on
this
particular
slide.
L
I
wanted
to
make
sure
we
just
touched
on
a
few
things
that
are-
and
this
is
me
circling
back
from
from
some
of
the
results
of
the
audit.
So
we
start
talking
about
the
identity,
the
audit
recommendations
and
where
the
pd
specifically
the
intel
unit,
human
trafficking,
as
well
as
the
permit
unit,
would
would
assist
and
work
together
cohesively
to
implement
the
following.
L
So
one
it
identifies
the
recommendations
identified
specifically
ironing
out
our
role
and
responsibility,
as
well
as
code,
enforcement's
role
and
responsibility
when
we're
dealing
with
the
illicit
massage
businesses,
okay
and
then
to
ensure
staff
resources
are
available
to
up,
and
we
also
want
to
make
sure
that
we
update.
Excuse
me
the
massage
business
registries
and
that
will
be
implemented
within
the
2022-2023
budget
process.
L
L
C
G
Much
yeah!
Well,
you
know
these
are
the
issues
that
we've
been
dealing
with.
Our
community
is
the
issues
of
human
trafficking
and
sex
sex
trafficking,
those
type
of
things
when
and
what
we're
building
into
our
community
that
prevents
those
type
of
things
and
what
does
prevent
those
type
of
things
are,
you
know
resilient
neighborhoods
and
the
way
our
city
is
being
built,
and
you
know
what
what
you
know
like
like
gallery.
G
These
are
people
coming
from
all
over
the
world,
and
and
this
is
what
you're
building
into
our
communities-
and
this
is
what
we're
saying,
needs
to
stop,
and
you
know
to
prevent
the
the
issues
of
human
and
sex
trafficking
that
we're
seeing
in
our
communities,
and
so
we
have
to.
You
know
that
that's
the
land
use
is
so
critical
to
that
and
that,
when
you
put
that
into
our
neighborhoods,
like
paul
soto,
was
saying,
when
you
put,
you
know,
x-rated
movie
theaters
into
his
name
on
the
sexual
abuse
that
he
experienced.
G
You
know
this
is
what
we're
we're
needing
to
really
look
at
to
prevention
and
creating
resilient
communities.
Where
and
that's
why
our
community
is
being
saying
we
want
neighbors,
not
transients,
and
you
know
this
is
what
we're
talking
about
and
you're,
not
listening,
and
it's
it's
very
frustrating,
because
these
are
the
kind
of
problems
we're
trying
to
avoid,
so
that
that's
the
issue
that
we
need
to
really
look
at
our
land
use
and
put
support.
Thank
you.
Tessa.
B
You
guys
sound
like
the
hawaii
five,
oh
man,
human
trafficking,
international,
oh
god,
international
crime.
You
guys
you
guys,
you
guys
can't
solve
any
crime.
You
guys
are
going
to
do
this.
You
guys
make
money
off
of
these
permits.
Just
like
you
make
money
off
the
permits
for
selling
pot
and
the
permits
for
the
strip.
Clubs
and
all
these
things
you
guys
helped
facilitate
it.
It
look.
It
still
exists
because
somebody's
getting
paid
somewhere
right.
Why
is
it
existing?
I
mean
that
and
that
that
hoodlum
you
had
working
for
coding.
B
For
us,
I
mean
one
minute
he's
telling
someone
to
tear
down
a
fence
and
the
next
minute
he's
getting
a
rub
down
at
the
massage
pump.
These
are
the
kind
of
people
you
hire,
oh
my
god,
not
to
mention
all
the
other
guys
have
been
busted
in
san
jose.
Pd,
hey,
remember,
ken
foster
guy
was
trying
to
blonder
18
million
dollars
through
his
security
business.
All
of
a
sudden,
everybody
starts
retiring
after
that,
after
that,
onion
starts
getting
peeled
and
the
sausage
started
getting
made.
B
B
What's
going
on,
or
maybe
some
kind
of
you
know,
health
department
inspections,
things
like
that,
maybe
that
would
be
another
way
to
to
see
what's
going
on,
but
I
don't
believe
you
guys
are
able
to
control
anything
because
you
can't
solve
any
crimes.
I've
never
ever
heard
of
san
jose
pd
solving
any
crimes,
except
maybe
like
a
traffic
citation.
You
guys
are
good
at
that.
Okay,
back
in
the
90s,
you
guys
were
great
at
jaywalking
tickets,
okay,.
C
And
I
just
see
I
know,
blair,
you
didn't
have
your
hand
up
beforehand.
I
saw
it
pop
up.
If
you
wanted
to
speak
on
this
item
blair,
you
can
go
ahead
and
raise
your
hand
I'll
I'll.
Let
you
provide
public
comment
and
if
not
I'll,
go
back
to
members
of
the
committee,
I
don't
see
any
hands
from
my
colleagues
at
the
moment.
D
And
so,
if
there
wasn't
a
demand
this,
this
kind
of
illegal
human
trafficking
and
sex
work
wouldn't
exist.
And
if,
if
the
abuse
of
of
female
bodies
and
and
children
and
that
demand
didn't
exist,
we
wouldn't
be
talking
today
about
any
of
this.
And
we
would
be
just
focused
on
robberies
and
burglaries
and
everything
else.
But
that's
not
the
case,
so
we
are
looking
at
personal
care
businesses
that
move
rather
quickly
and
that
re-establish
themselves
rather
quickly.
D
I
won't
say
this
business,
this
practice
into
different
parts
of
our
city
and
into
different
parts
of
our
county
so
and
in
order
to
stay
connected
regionally,
the
leap
database
was
something
that
I
believe
lieutenant
maciere
had
shared
with
us
in
the
past,
and
I
believe
that
they
had
committed
to
continuing
to
work
with
alameda
county,
which
is
one
of
the
counties
that
we
have
a
lot
of
arrests
regarding
sex
work,
and-
and
so
I
I
wonder
where
that's
at.
What's
the
progress
for
that.
L
D
L
What
we
don't
want
to
do
is
pass
information
or
actually
hinder
information,
because
each
any
time
that
we're
we're
working
with
each
other,
you
may
have
that
that
that
key
piece
that's
going
to
make
the
case
and
and
it's
essential.
So
if
we're
not
communicating
and
we're
not
sharing
this
particular
information,
we're
going
to
fail
and
that's
not
failure-
is
not
an
option
for
us.
D
Right,
I
I
understand
that,
although
bureaucracies
unfortunately
have
created
systems
for
us
to
have
some
cracks
in
it,
and
so
we
we
have
to
make
sure
that
we
look
at
some
of
those
instances,
and
so
I
wanted
to
make
sure
that
the
data
base
is
being
used
on
both
ends.
I
think
the
last
time
that
you
all
shared
was
that
that
you
continue
to
input
information
into
leap
and
is
alameda
also
doing
the
same
on
their
end.
A
That's
where
I'll
I'll
jump
in
is
yes.
The
leap
database
is
a
network
that
connects
various
agencies
and
counties,
primarily
cities
together
in
sharing
reports
of
incidents,
not
only
crime
reports,
but
these
type
of
incidents,
and
one
of
the
things
that
we
wanted
to
add,
is
that
our
special
victims,
unit,
which
one
one
component
is
human
trafficking,
they're
involved
in
monthly
meetings,
regionally
and
also
here
locally
and
as
lieutenant
spears
had
mentioned.
D
Okay,
and
in
order
for
that
partnership
to
be
effective,
we
just
need
to
make
sure
that
they're
providing
the
information,
and
so
is
that.
Is
that
helpful
at
this
moment?
Are
they
providing
enough
information
so
that
we
can
kind
of
nip
this
this
practice
in
the
bud
when
we
start
seeing
things
sprouting
up.
L
D
Okay,
thank
you.
I'm
one
of
the
things
that
I
I
feared
from
a
lot
of
the
closures
on
the
massage
parlors
and
although
I
agree
with
all
of
the
closures,
I
want
them
closed
they're
one
functioning
illegally
into
having
sex
work
on
site.
That
is
absolutely
also
illegal,
and
one
of
the
things
that
I
was
afraid
of
is
that
this,
this
kind
of
sex
work
would
go.
D
You
know
just
really
black
market
and-
and
we
wouldn't
know,
we
wouldn't
have
a
place
where
we
can
target,
and
I
see
that
the
brothels
that
have
been
identified
there
are
seven
of
them
and
I
think
five
you'd
mention
in
your
in
your
speaking
points
that
five
are
in
the
process
of
being
closed
and
two
have
been
closed
from.
What
I
read
in
the
report
it
sounds
like
warrants
are:
are.
D
D
D
I
know
I'm
passionate,
but
but
but
what
I
was,
what
I'm
saying
is
we're
forcing
this
to
really
go
under
the
under
the
radar
here
and
it's
hard
for
us
to
get
the
search
warrants
to
close
those
down
even
more.
It
was
really
easy.
I
mean
administratively,
I
think
there
was
a
hundred
and
something
closed,
massage
partners
closed.
We
didn't,
we
didn't
even
have
to
go
there.
D
There
was
no
sting
operation,
there
wasn't
anything
and
I
feel
like
we
are
almost
forcing
this
this
practice
into
into
a
market
that
we
can't
really
connect
with
and
that
we
can't
really
solve
for
and
that
it's
taking
too
much
time
and
in
the
meantime
we
don't
know.
If
there's
any
children,
any
minors,
we
don't
know
how
many
people
are
being
trafficked
it
it.
D
It's
it's
beyond
me.
I
I'm
I'm
not
sure
what
the
answer
is
to
this,
but
but
this
these
impediments
have
have
risen
because
of
the
search
warrants
really
concern
me
and
really
concern
me
for
the
true
victims
involved
in
all
of
this,
and
so
how
can
we
accelerate
this
so
that
that
we
don't
have
five
in
process
five
locations?
That
we
know
are
active
that
are
in
process.
F
L
Me
start
with
with
the
the
the
residential
brothels.
Are
they
a
challenge?
Yes,
so
so,
just
to
give
you
a
little
a
little
background-
and
I
know
I
explained
it
in
in
the
very
general
within
the
the
the
memo,
the
the
process
itself,
when
you
still
are
searching
for
these
phone,
you
know
for
the
the
act
we
do
get
several
complaints
from
the
community.
The
community
is
extremely
proactive
with
reporting
the
information
specifically
when
they
start
seeing
a
lot
of
traffic
coming
in
and
out.
L
So
we
are
getting
those
reports
once
we
get
those
reports.
It's
is
some
of
the
hoops
that
we
go,
that
we
jump
through
it
it
it
is
time
consuming,
but
it's
plausible,
and
we
are,
we
have
officers
and
investigators
who
are
in
fact
targeting
that
perspective,
but
there's
another
perspective
just
as
well.
Our
task
force
our
internet
crimes
against
children.
L
They
are
also
proactively
monitoring
and
ascertaining
leads
from
the
national
center
for
missing
and
exploited
children
based
up
is
is,
and
I
would
applaud
each
and
every
one
of
them
is
amazing
and
so
councilwoman
your
passion.
You
know
it
resonates,
but
we
do
have
investigators
who
are
in
fact
making
positive
progress.
What
do
we
need?
Additional
manpower?
L
D
A
So
we're
aware
that
the
survivors
need
resources
and
we
are
working
with
those
agencies
to
provide
those
that
help
to
our
survivors
again,
we
we
can
our
human
trafficking
unit
and
also
our
patrol
officers
when
they
come
across
these.
We
can
definitely
take
a
look
at
the
numbers
to
see
if
we
need
to
expand,
you
know
additional
advocates
or
how
our
resources
are
being
used
in
these
specific
instances.
D
Right,
well,
yes,
and
and
how
many,
how
many
female
vietnamese
or
spanish-speaking
officers
do
we
have
in
the
units?
I
know
that
you've
made
really
good
progress
in
in
increasing,
but
in
in
the
moment.
Currently,
how
many
do
we
have
if
we
count
all
of
the
special
units
that
have
anything
to
do
with
any
of
these
sting
operations
or
the
human
either
human
trafficking
or
or
massage
partners.
D
D
With
what
we
know-
and
I
know
I
know
that
there
was
some
difficulty
in
distinguishing
between
survivors
and
traffickers,
and
I
I
believe
this
is
when
our
advocates
come
in
or
our
officers
who
are
who
speak
the
same
language
that
have
may
create
some
quick
friendship
or
some
relationship
with
some
of
these
survivors,
so
that
we
can
distinguish
between
perpetrators
and
and
and
survivors.
And
so
I
I'd
also
like
to
to
know
how
many,
in
terms
of
of
advocates,
how,
how
often
have
we
used
our
advocates.
D
You
know
36
of
the
38
times
that
we've
done.
You
know
some
sting
operations,
I'd
like
to
know
those
numbers
so
that
we
can
recognize
and
start
establishing.
Maybe
a
pattern
of
efficacy
right
in
terms
of
which,
maybe
which
which
of
these
providers,
relates
and
connects
best
with
with
the
survivors
if
they
create
some
end,
results
that
work
with
us
and
that
provide
us
with
more
information.
D
D
L
One
of
the
updates
I
do
have
for
you
is
in
the
human
trafficking
unit.
There
is
a
female
spanish
speaker.
They
also
have
a
mandarin
speaker
and
an
assyrian
speaker.
Each
op,
each
operation
that
was
performed
by
the
vice
administrative
unit,
with
your
recommendation,
had
included
email,
female
investigators
that
were
assigned
to
the
operations
that
did
in
fact
participate
after
your
recommendation,
100
of
the
time
after
your
recommendation
as
well
on
each
and
every
operation,
there
was
a
a
member
of
of
an
advocate
present
each
and
every
time.
D
That's
wonderful,
you
know.
Sometimes
it's
it's
difficult
to.
You
know
we
we
set
up
some
protocols
and
then,
when
the,
when
the
time
comes
and
the
practice
it
comes
into
play,
there's
a
lot
of
things
that
are
happening,
and
so
I
understand
that
some
things
might
get
overlooked.
I'm
glad
that
this
is
not
one
of
them.
So
so
thank
you
for
that.
Additional
information.
D
The
other,
the
other,
effective
practice
that
you
that
was
mentioned
in
the
report
was
the
landlord
education.
He
also
mentioned
it
in
your
presentation
and
I
wonder
if
you
are
providing
some
of
that
information
in
some
of
the
ethnic
based
business
associations
as
well.
As
you
know,
some
of
the
housing
advocate
agencies
just
so
that
they
can
have
that
information
somewhere
available.
D
Even
our
own
city
business
license.
I
don't
know
if
it's
the
office
or,
however
they
they
distribute
that.
I
think
we
should
it's
not
only
just
on
you
as
a
police
department
to
to
continue
with
that
education
program,
but
that
it
should
be
very
well
known
so
that
any
business
owner
who's
establishing
themselves
and
happened
to
find
themselves
near
one
of
these
establishments
that
they
can
call
in
is
that
something
that
we
could
do.
D
Well,
not
not
the
whole
program,
but
information
at
the
very
least
so
that
other
businesses
can
share
information
and
report.
Because
on
in
your
report,
I
think
that
was
part
of
some
of
the
success
was
to
it
was
other
businesses
reporting,
suspicious
behavior
or
patterns
or
trends,
and
so
once
people
know
what
to
look
for,
they
can
easily
call
in
some
some
of
that
activity
and
instead
of
thinking
well,
you
know-
maybe
I'm
overthinking
it.
D
D
D
You
we've
seen
in
the
bi-monthly
reports
here
that
there's
an
increase
in
rape,
there's
an
increase
in
domestic
rape,
there's
been
a
and
I've.
You
know
shouted
this
from
every
at
every
committee.
Meeting
world
health
organization
recognizes
that
in
pandemic
times,
violence
increases
against
children
and
young
and
women
and
men
potentially,
and
so
we
need
to
make
sure
that
we
are
as
pro
and
proactive
as
we
can
sorting
those
brothels,
because
we
have
essentially
moved
them
into
a
different
kind
of
model
and
they're
going
to
survive.
D
They're
going
to
survive
all
of
us
and-
and
and
this
is
what
really
scares
me
is
that
they're
going
to
go
really
undercover
and
we
will
not
have
the
kind
of
complaints
that
we've
had
before
where
people
are
calling
in,
because
this
this
is
their
place
of
residence.
There
are
maybe
neighbors
across
the
hallway
and
they
may
not
want
to
get
them
involved
in
the
same
way.
So
they
don't
suffer
repercussions,
and
so
it
it
really
scares
me
for
you
know,
for,
for
what
is
hap
for
what
we
don't
know.
D
E
Okay,
thank
you,
for
that
is
there
a
second
first,
second,
okay
cool,
so
so
just
to
explain
what's
happening
is
that
I
think,
still
on
the
call.
Unfortunately,
he
can't
manage
the
meeting
at
the
moment,
and
so
I'm
gonna
be
taking
over
and
so
remind
me.
Anyone
have
we
we've
already
taken
public
comment
on
this
correct.
E
B
G
E
Okay,
wonderful,
so
we're
going
to
go
ahead
and
move
on
to
the
next
item
is
the
number
four
I
believe
in
the
last
item
is
the
park
ranger
program
update.
We
can
get
the
prns
to
have
to
and
thank
you
so
much
for
for
hanging
out
with
us
for
so
long.
We
know
it's
been
a
long
meeting
but
appreciate
you
guys
presenting
take
it
away
whenever
you're
running.
I
Good
afternoon
vice
chair
members
of
the
committee,
my
name
is
avi
otam
and
I'm
the
deputy
director
for
the
parks,
division
of
parks,
recreation
and
neighborhood
services
joined
today
by
pam
henke
supervising
park,
ranger
john
cecilly,
our
director
and
neil
rafino.
Our
assistant
director,
we're
here
today
to
provide
the
committee
with
an
update
on
the
park.
I
Additionally,
our
park
rangers
have
focused
on
resource
management
projects
that
contribute
to
public
safety
and
park
health,
for
instance,
in
coordination
with
animal
care
and
services.
The
program
led
the
development
of
a
department,
coyote
coexistence
and
management
plan
that
establishes
a
standard
department
response
to
wildlife
human
conflict
on
city
park
land.
I
J
The
as
bobby
mentioned
park
rangers
are
frequently
the
first
public
safety
professional
to
arrive
at
the
scene
of
an
emergency
in
our
park
system
that
can
include
wildfire
search
and
rescue
or
medical
emergencies
in
fiscal
2021.
The
rangers
responded
to
156
wildland
or
outdoor
fires
on
park
lands
with
the
majority
of
those
along
the
coyote
creek
watershed
rangers
could
provide
san
jose
fire
with
access
assistance.
J
We
conducted
initial
attack
suppression
activities
and
worked
alongside
santa
fe
fire
to
conduct
mop-up
activities
and
then
returning
to
the
site
after
to
check
for
rekindles
rangers,
also
responded
to
55
medical
events
and
11
search
and
rescue
events
over
the
fiscal
year.
As
you
probably
noticed
from
the
chart,
medical
events
did
decline
and
we
attribute
that
to
the
coveted
closures
of
happy
hollow
park
and
zoo
in
the
action
sports
park
as
well.
I
J
Our
currently
decreased
ranger
staffing,
which
impacted
our
rangers
ability
to
get
to
some
events,
so
san
jose
fire
would
typically
arrive
before
us.
We
did
have
two
significant
events,
this
reporting
cycle.
They
were
both
search.
Events
with
rangers
taking
lead,
read
roles
in
a
very
complex
searches
with
air
rescue
components.
J
At
the
beginning
of
the
year,
the
fiscal
year
we
had
one
event
where
the
rangers
entered
into
a
unified
command
with
santa
clara
county
sheriff's
office
search
and
rescue
unit
to
locate
a
lost
hiker.
She
had
been
lost
overnight
in
olim
rock
park.
Our
search
teams
combined
ranger
and
volunteer
search
and
rescue
team
members
searched
for
over
10
hours
in
severe
100
degree
heat
and
very
rugged
terrain.
J
J
We
had
an
additional
event
where
an
off-trail
hiker
at
olimark
park
fell
suffering,
serious
injuries
and
he
was
in
a
very
rugged.
Non-Public
area
of
penitencia
creek
rangers
were
able
to
locate
the
victim
and
provide
medical
care
and
then
worked
with
san
jose
fire
and
cal
fire
to
again
conduct
an
air
rescue.
This
was
particularly
challenging
as
this
is
a
very
narrow
section
of
canyon
and
we
were
working
in
low
light
conditions.
J
J
You'll
see
a
decrease
over
time
in
citations,
reports
and
arrests,
and
this
is
attributed
to
the
change
in
our
program
service
model.
Our
rangers
are
no
longer
conducting
unaccompanied
watershed
protection
patrols
in
the
stream
and
instead
of
focusing
on
general
park
operations,
and
we
also
attributed
a
part
of
the
increase
to
our
continued
response
to
county
health
order.
Compliance
in
our
on
our
park
lands.

The
goal
of
the
apprentice
program
would
be
allowed
the
department
to
reproduce
candidates
that
might
not
be
able
to
complete
the
required
education
on
their
own.
The
apprentice
program
will
allow
a
motivated
candidate
to
obtain
the
needed
college
coursework.
While
working
for
the
city
and
gaining
practical
experience
upon
successful
completion
of
the
apprenticeship
program,
they
would
be
appointed
as
a
sworn
park.
Ranger.
I
The
department
in
coordination
with
the
city,
manager's
office
and
hr,
will
continue
to
prioritize
recruitment
and
retention
efforts
and
work
towards
implementation
of
a
body-worn
camera
policy
in
the
near-term
any
full
park.
Ranger
duty
manual,
the
2021-2022
year,
also
brings
new
park
and
recreation
facilities,
and
some
milestones
in
partnership
with
the
san
jose
conservation
corps
and
the
police
department
park
rangers
will
help
steward
the
coyote
creek
trail.
I
Finally,
in
2022,
as
rangers
celebrate
their
50th
year
as
a
program,
they
will
also
play
a
central
role
in
a
series
event
of
events
leading
up
to
the
150th
anniversary
of
alan
mark
park,
which
is,
as
I've
said,
a
couple
times,
probably
the
oldest
municipal
park
in
the
state.
We're
quite
proud
of
that.
With
that
said,
we
recommend
the
committee
accept
the
annual
report
on
the
park
ranger
program
for
2020
2021
and
we're
available
for
any
questions.
E
G
All
right,
thank
you
so
much
and
we
really
appreciate
the
little
reminder
of
the
topic.
So
that's
really
great.
Thank
you
anyway.
Yeah
I'm
talking.
It
was
interesting
to
talk
about
to
hear
about
the
wildlife
urban
interface,
and
you
do
hear
about
that.
A
lot
as
we're
facing
so
many
fires,
and
you
know
just
to
straighten
the
record
that
the
misconception
about
our
you
know
using
indigenous
ways
to
deal
with
our
fires.
Is,
you
know
by
you
know
these
controlled
burns.
G
We
see
what
happens
in
santa
cruz,
already
a
controlled
burn
that
got
out
of
control
and
required
evacuations,
and
what
the
cli
what's
happening
in
terms
of
our
climate
issues
is
that
it's
so
dry
out
there
that
the
science
is
saying
it's
too
dangerous
for
us
to
do
controlled
burns.
You
know
that
was
something
that
could
have
been
done
back
in
our
indigenous
past,
but
not
anymore
because
of
the
dryness.
G
That
is
part
of
our
resiliency
and
a
lot
of
what
I'm
hearing
about
with
our
resiliency
corps
and
one
of
the
critical
parts
of
that
was.
You
know
environmental
stewardship,
but
I
don't
I
mean
I'm
glad
to
hear
that
you're
engaging
them
in
our
in
our
woodlands,
our
herb.
You
know
our
wildlife
areas,
but
we
need
to
do
more
with
our
resiliency
corps
to
really
build
food
production.
H
H
H
I
think
the
way
our
control
burning
practices
are
working
now
are
extremely
out
of
control
and
way
too
large
and
way
too
they're
trying
to
consider
real
estate
needs
before
the
needs
of
people
and
they've
really
got
their
priorities
wrong
and
how
to
consider
controlled,
burning,
we're
trying
to
put
that
back
into
place.
So
I
I
don't
quite
know
what
tessa's
trying
to
say.
H
I
think
we
really
got
to
rely
on
our
older
practices
that
are,
and
those
are
people
who
are
helping
shape
our
future
of
control
burning
in
california
and
northern
california.
At
this
time,
who
were
very
interesting
people-
sorry
about
that.
Thank
you
to
offer
a
few
words
about
park.
Ranger
issue.
I
think
the
example
of
what's
going
on
at
the
columbus
park
area
with
the
fence
issue
is
a
good
example
of
how
we
talk
about
the
future
of
park.
Ranger
issues
I
mean
it's.
H
That
area
needs
a
real
light
touch
in
how
to
talk
about
and
how
to
develop,
and
it's
a
process
that
I
hope
the
whole
community
can
be
a
part
of
in
understanding
how
to
people
can
slowly
exit
from
that
area,
find
housing
for
people
for
that
area
and
just
to
respect
that
area
can't
be
used
anymore.
It's
a
bit
of
a
danger
and
for
all
of
us
to
understand
kind
of
a
light
touch
practices.
I
hope
you
can
do
that.
B
No
signs,
no
nothing.
This
guy
was
derek
siobhan
part
two.
Actually
he
was
part
one,
because
this
is
what
happened
about
a
month
before
the
george
floyd
incident.
Those
are
the
kind
of
people
that
you
have
on.
They
aren't
people
who
are
you
know
showing
you
the
park
there.
There
are
people
going
in
there
to
be
ogres
and
to
boss
people
around
and
act
like
it's
1983
again.
You
know
I
mean
these
guys
are
the
tough
guys.
These
guys
aren't
the
nice
guys.
B
I
mean
you
know
not
only
that
when
they
fight
you,
I've
been
cited
by
these
guys.
They
don't
even
know
how
to
talk,
let
alone
read
and
their
writing
skills.
Terrible.
You
can't
you,
you
know
these
guys,
not
only
that
they,
if
you
don't
sign
the
ticket,
they
don't
have
a
car
to
drive
you
downtown
right.
They
don't
they'll
arrest.
You
then
they'll
tell
you
well,
I
don't
have
a
car
to
bring
it.
I
don't
want
to
walk.
B
No,
I
end
up
just
signing
the
ticket,
but
that,
but
you
know
what
the
guy
was
a
liar,
because
he
did
have
a
car
right,
but
he
wanted
to
show
me
who
was
boss,
because
I
wouldn't
sign
a
ticket
that
I
couldn't
read.
So
when
you
hire
people
in
this
hiring
process,
make
sure
they've
at
least
gone
through
the
fifth
grade,
the
fifth
grade's
a
minimum,
because
these
people
can't
even
write
out
a
simple
citation
and
their
attitude.
E
M
I
Thank
you
for
the
question
councilmember
jones,
that
that's
correct.
Our
intention
is
to
look
to
fulfill
all
the
full-time
vacancies
through
these
current
recruitments,
as
pam
mentioned,
we
have
two
candidates
currently
in
background.
We
have
interviews
coming
up
that
includes
seven
more
candidates.
I
If
these
are
new
hires
new
to
the
park,
ranger
profession
we'd
be
looking
to
bring
them.
At
least
this
next
batch
of
folks
going
into
interviews,
we'd
be
looking
to
background
them
late
this
calendar
year
or
early
next
calendar
year,
and
then
we'd
put
them
through
some
elements
of
an
academy
as
well
as
field
training,
so
they
would
be
self-sufficient
as
early
as
maybe
next
fall
or
maybe
towards
the
end
of
2022..
I
I
Unfortunately,
we
find-
and
it's
it
pains
to
say
this,
but
we
find
that
we
are
not
the
location
or
the
program
that
people
may
choose
to
come
to
in
this
region
and
one
element
that
kind
of
stands
behind.
That
is
our.
Unfortunately,
our
compensation
is
10
below
that
of
the
county,
so
we
find
that
we
hire
people
provide
a
excellent
training
opportunity,
support
our
employees
through
back
through
academy
and
through
field
training,
and
they
become
highly
competitive
to
go.
I
M
Ranger
that
go
out
there
and
you
know,
observe
and
potentially
cite,
and
you
know,
provide
you
know
direction
and
all
the
other
duties
and
tasks
that
a
neighborhood
park
ranger
would
perform,
and
so
I
just
want
to
just
put
on
the
record
that
I
have
an
expectation
that
that
position
would
be
filled
as
quickly
as
possible
because
it's
been
about
four
years,
and
I
just
don't
want
it
to
be
the
last
position.
That's
so
that's
that's
it
and
thank
you
very
much
for
your
presentation.
E
D
D
Just
like
we
find
in
any
other
of
the
other
parks.
I
know
that
you
mentioned
avi.
The
county
is
very
competitive
compared
to
us
and-
and
I
think
it's
time
to
start
investing
in
in
continuing
to
invest.
I'm
sorry
not
starting
because
I
know
that
our
prns
department
works
really
hard
and
our
park
rangers
work
really
hard
to
make
sure
that
everything
is
running,
and
so
what
would
it?
What
is
the
plan
for
lake
cunningham
and
a
park?
Ranger.
I
Thank
you,
council,
member
for
the
question,
so
with
our
current
staffing,
our
our
deployment
priorities
on
a
day-to-day
basis
would
be
alum
rock
park,
which
will
almost,
which
will
almost
always
get
the
first
resource,
given
how
unique
it
is
and
isolated
kelly
park
because
of
obviously
happy
all
parking,
zoo,
the
japanese
friendship
garden
and
a
host
of
issues
that
that
are
that
we
find
on
site,
including
the
fires
that
that
penn
mentioned
lake
cunningham
at
this
point,
actually
is
right.
Next,
in
the
queue
and
pam
you
can.
I
You
can
fill
in
this
fill
this
in
for
me
with
greater
detail,
but
we
try
to
get
somebody
at
lake
cunningham
most
afternoons,
so
we
we
won't
be
able
to
cover
both
a
morning
and
an
afternoon
shift
given
current
staffing
levels,
but
especially
with
the
action
sports
park
and
raging
waters.
We
see
and
obviously
it's
a
great
park
incredibly
popular
for
picnicking.
So
we
do
our
best
to
have
a
ranger
there
in
the
afternoons,
especially
when
most
people
are
out
there
and
this
coming
winter.
I
J
Yeah,
the
basically
our
schedule
is
loaded
a
little
bit
heavy
to
the
afternoon
shift
right
now
to
handle
the
closing
duties
at
our
parks,
and
so
we
don't
generally
have
a
morning
ranger
at
cunningham,
but
as
soon
as
the
evening
shift
comes
on,
whenever
possible,
we
direct
a
ranger
out
that
way.
We
also
have
one
of
our
non-sworn
part-time
rangers,
our
part-time
benefited
ranger
assigned
out
there
on
her
weekend
days.
D
Well,
I
I
really
appreciate
that
I
wouldn't
I
would
lose
our
park
ranger
presence,
and
so
I'm
glad
that
I
know
it's
a
bit
of
a
patchwork
that
you're
doing
and
greatly
appreciated,
and
you
go
where
the
need
is
and-
and
I'm
absolutely
supportive
of
that
I
would
love
to
see
us
evolve
in
in
terms
of
our
parks.
We've
seen
how
important
they've
been
during
the
pandemic,
and
we
could
you
really
turn
some
future
generations
into
stewards
of
of
of
the
environment
and
just
outdoor
spaces.
D
This
is
their
livelihood
and
their
career,
and
I
I
wonder
if
there's
an
opportunity
to
to
really
uplift
the
resiliency
core
in
a
way
that
maybe
we
hadn't
originally
thought,
because
I
I
don't
know
that
it
was
meant
for
park
ranger
career
path,
but
in
the
same
way
that
I
was
talking
about
the
fire
department
and
their
lack.
You
know
their
their
need
for
additional
staff.
I
Councilmember,
that's
something
we're
actually
very
eager
to
explore.
We
have
very
frankly
many
years
reported
to
this
committee
about
the
challenges
in
hiring
and
filling
these
positions,
so
we're
very
excited
about
creating
the
pipeline
from
the
resilience
corps,
as
well
as
from
our
local
community
colleges
and
colleges
into
the
park.
Ranger
profession,
specifically
with
the
resilience
corps
we
are
coordinating
actually
in
about
10
days,
members
members
of
our
team
will
be
presenting
to
their
participants
about
city
careers
and,
more
so
much
more
tangibly.
D
Great,
I
appreciate
it.
I
know
that
that
you
have
some
completion
dates
that
are
coming
up
and
I'm
really
excited
to
see
what
what
is
next.
I
know
that
the
pureness
department
and
all
of
the
city
was
doubling
up
on
the
eoc,
and
so
I
know
that
a
lot
of
things
just
were
output
to
the
side,
but
not
because
it's
intentional,
but
because
we
find
ourselves
in
this
position,
so
I
I'd
love
to
see
what
what
is
next
for
for
the
park
rangers.
I
Councilman
you're
speaking
to
one
of
our
great
challenges
and
it's
something
that
we've
been
observing
at
a
frankly
across
the
city.
But
there
are
a
handful
of
parks
that
we're
hearing
from
the
community
very
regularly
including
hill
view
and
mount
pleasant
park,
and
what
we're
speaking
to
is
clearly
unsanctioned
events.
These
are
not
events
that
have
gone
through
our
permitting
process
because
we
would
not
have
allowed
that
activity
and
that
presents
a
couple
of
challenges
for
us
one:
a
stewardship
challenge,
because,
unfortunately,
those
events
are
often
destructive
to
the
parks.
J
I
It
also
speaks
to
our
our
challenge
with
unprimited
parks.
Overall,
when
we
do
see
when
we,
when
we
get
kind
of
a,
I
guess,
awareness
and
intelligence
of
an
upcoming
unpermitted
event.
We
do
look
to
schedule
either
on
overtime
or
as
part
of
their
shift
a
park
ranger
and
maybe
a
member
of
our
special
permanent
team
to
actually
get
out
to
the
park,
and
our
goal
is
to
try
to
get
there
before
the
event
sets
up,
because
once
once
an
event
is
set
up-
and
there
might
be-
you
know,
20
tenths
or
100
people.
I
It's
gonna
be
very
difficult
for
one
or
two
rangers
to
really
make
a
difference
then,
but
we
look
to
get
in
before
the
event
takes
hold.
So
we
we
have
made
intentional
efforts
to
do
that.
What
we
struggle
with
is
again
the
bandwidth,
so
one
ranger
getting
sent
on
that
deployment
pulls
away
a
resource
from
alan
rock
or
kelly
or
like
cunningham.
D
I
Our
program
is
not
designed
to
to
get
out
and
be
responsive
to
those
kind
of
calls
for
service,
especially
with
the
deployment
limitations.
We
have
right
now,
and
that
is
one
area
of
conversation
that
we've
had
with
a
number
of
patrol
captains.
We've
had
really
productive
conversations
and,
for
instance,
most
recently
around
mount
pleasant
park,
we're
in
close
close
contact
and
coordination
with
captain
trayer
to
look
to
really
bring
both
of
our
resources
to
bear
and
really
help
that
community
try
to
root
out
a
presence
that
isn't
pro-social.
D
D
It
is
going
to
be
there
and
it's
pretty
intense,
and
you
know
I
I
don't
know
that
that's
a
permitted
activity,
but
it's
not
as
as
intrusive
and
as
dangerous
as
selling
alcohol,
especially
when
there's
miners
who
are
at
the
park
and
and
if
people
don't
distinguish
between
that.
It's
illegal
for
crying
out
loud,
so
captain
trainer
is
is
awesome.
D
Well,
we
I'm
sure
that
we've
already
looped
him
in,
but
I
was
wondering
if
you
were
seeing
this
at
a
higher
trend,
because
people
were
going
to
parks
during
the
pandemic
and
if
it's
just
become
kind
of
institutionalized
into
the
park
scenery
there
and
nobody
calls
it
out
anymore,
and
so,
if
nobody's
calling
it
out
anymore,
then
we
just
need
to
be
proactive
on
our
end.
But
I
completely
understand
where
you're
coming
from
avi.
It's
it's
not
an
easy
solve,
and
those
were
my
questions
and
comments.
Thank
you,
chair.
F
I
J
J
J
We
actively
solicit
from
local
community
colleges.
We
have
a
lot
of
really
good
connections.
We
sponsor
interns
we
advertise
with
all
the
professional
organizations,
particularly
on
the
western
west
coast
of
the
united
states,
so
it
you
know,
I
think
one
of
the
hardest
things
we
have
to
deal
with
is
just
the
cost
of
living.
Here
we
try
to
bring
people
in
who
are
not
from
the
bay
area.
You
know
our
our
salary
looks
great
until
you
find
out
what
you
can
buy
with
it.
J
J
M
J
M
Council
member,
this
is
neil
rafino
assistant
director.
I
do
also
want
to
note
that
you
know
the
past
few
years
we
have
implemented
with
the
unions,
the
three
thousand
dollar
hiring
incentive
for
rangers
as
well.
As
you
know,
three
thousand
ish
dollar
referral
bonus
for
existing
staff.
So
you
know
we're
really
looking
to
try
to
do
everything
I
think
you
know.
Avi
mentioned
this
new
effort
that
we
want
to
work
with
hr
closely
on
and
to
try
to
develop
a
very
direct
pipeline.
M
F
Right
that
makes
sense,
so
those
those
efforts-
all
sound
good,
I
think
certainly
identifying
creating
local
pipelines
is,
I
think
I
would
imagine-
everybody's
preference.
I
guess
I
was
just
thinking
when
we
have
long
delays
and
we
seem
stuck.
I
was
just
curious
if
we
considered
contracting
the
services
of
external
recruiters
to
maybe
open
up
new
pipelines
or
find
tap
into
new
networks
that
we
may
not
be
aware
of.
M
M
You
know
to
hire
staff
that
came
in
under
kovit,
and
I
I
know
there's
a
few
of
them
who
actually
have
done
really
well
with
us
and
have
become
you
know,
like
city
analysts,
you
know.
So
there
are
those
opportunities
and
we
just
have
to
keep
on
working.
You
know,
I
think,
with
with
our
department
and
with
hr
on
you
know,
making
sure
we
have
different
pathways
to
to
accelerate.
You
know
hiring.
E
I
I
H
E
I
appreciate
that
I
think
that's
a
you
know,
well-placed
sort
of
comment
and-
and
I
agree
with
it-
I
just
you
know-
I
guess
this
isn't
the
type
of
place
to
delve
into
the
costs
associated
with
that.
But
anyway
I
I
know
it
was
something
that
we
heard.
I
heard
from
residents
loud
and
clear
as
it
relates
to
some
of
the
officers
and-
and
I
think
we
did
implement
some
of
that
and
I
think
it
was
well
received-
I'm
not
sure
how
well
it
worked
or
what
the
impact
was.
E
A
E
B
B
Okay,
now
at
least
the
tsa
has
been
trained
to
do
the
back
of
the
hand
over
your
genital
area
versus
a
nut
grab.
Okay.
So
this
is
what
the
kind
of
people
you
hire
right.
You
guys
must
get
the
bottom
of
the
barrel
of
who
you
hire,
because
this
guy,
who
who
I
had
an
interaction
with,
was
a
maniac
and
I'm
gonna
tell
you
you
better,
put
a
monkey
cam
on
that
guy,
because
what
I
saw
him
do
to
me
and
what
I
saw
him
do
to
two
african-american
families
was
criminal.
B
If
he
was
to
do
that
after
george
floyd,
can
you
imagine
the
kind
of
publicity
you
guys
would
get?
It
would
be
in
negative
numbers?
Okay,
so
you
know
I
want
you
to
ask
this
guy,
you
know
who
he
is.
You
know
who
he
is.
I
want
you
to
ask
him
if
he
would
have
done
the
same
thing
in
april
of
or
actually
a
week
after
the
george
floyd
incident,
if
he
would
have
done
what
he
did
in
in
april
of
of
2020.
B
Okay,
I
want
you
to
ask
him
that,
would
he
do
that?
Would
he
have
the
nerve
to
do
that
now?
No
keeping
mine
in
his
peas
and
hues,
because
what
that
guy
did,
I
think,
he's
related
to
chopin.
He
looked
like
him
actually
and
he
was
a
park,
police
and
guess
who's
park,
police,
derek
siobhan,
a
coincidence.
There
you
see
a
coincidence.
G
Okay,
good,
thank
you
yeah
well,
in
regards
to
michael
5140,
then
we
should
definitely
have
cameras
on
this
thing
to
solve
that
problem.
So
we
I
mean
on
our
park
police,
and
so
that's
my
answer
to
that
that
issue,
but
my
answer
to
the
other
issues
in
regards
to
our
our
resiliency
core
and
you
know,
appreciate
sylvia
arenas
and
her
outreach
about
you
know:
kiddos
children.
Thank
you!
So
much
and
you
know
what
are
you
know
even
though,
theoretically
that
program
of
resiliency
is
adults
they're?
G
We
need
to
have
lands
taken
to
you
know.
Even
under
you
know
whatever
it
is,
you
know
you
know
to
buy
lands
to
to
start
growing
food
and
that's
what
we
have
to
start
doing
is
is
doing
that
as
we
go
forward,
and
that
is
it's.
A
concurrency
of
voices
from
all
the
people
that
talk
about
resiliency
is
that
we
need
local
food
production
and
that's
the
start,
and
also
it's
about
you
know:
nature
deficit,
disorder
and
and
job
creation.
This
is
the
new
fossil.
C
H
Thank
you.
It's
nice
to
see
council
person
perales
is
able
to
return.
Thank
you
for
the
meeting
today
my
words
that
were
cut
off
right
at
the
end.
I
hope
we
can
offer
a
light
touch
for
not
only
the
columbus
park
issues
but
how
to
address
park
ranger
issues
as
well.
A
few
other
concerns
at
this
time.
I
I
you
know,
there's
open
public
policy
ideas,
there's
privacy
policy
ideas.
They
can
be
a
bit
separate,
but
they
work
towards
the
same
good
cause.
H
H
You
know
I
could
have
mentioned
the
idea
of
renewable
energy
practices
and
it's
local
procurement-
that's
possible
at
this
time
to
consider
good
subsidy
practices
with
san
jose
community
energy
and
that's
accessible
to
all
parts
of
the
community.
I
hope
that's
an
important
cause
I
should
have
mentioned
in
my
consent.
Calendar
public
comment
today.
Sorry
about
that.
To
conclude,
it
brings
up
the
idea
of
talking
about
these
issues
of
a
large
natural
disaster
and
earthquake.
H
I
I
I
don't
want.
I
want
to
be
responsible.
I
don't
want
to
take
political
sides
in
talking
about
this.
I
want
to
talk
about
in
terms
of
emergency
services
help,
and
you
know
I
don't
want
to
do
it
in
terms
of
disaster
practices,
which
I
think
your
city
is
also
trying
to
do.
Good
practices
safe
practices.
So
I
hope
we
can
talk
about
this
and
and
consider
mass
use.
This
fall.
It's
an
important,
important
concept.
Thank
you.
