Yes,
not
Roberto,
yes,
good
afternoon,
chair
and
council
members,
I
am
jayquan
with
the
office
of
Retirement
services
and
I'm.
Here
to
present
the
report
of
the
annual
investment
returns
for
the
Federated
and
police
and
fire
retirement
plans,
so
I'll
I'll
have
just
a
few
slides
of
context
and
then
the
returns
for
each
plan.
F
You
may
remember
that
the
plans
assume
that
the
Investment
Portfolio
earns
a
certain
rate
of
return
every
year
for
both
plants.
That
rate
is
currently
six
and
five-eighths
percent.
Here
we
can
see
that
it
has
become
increasingly
difficult
to
earn
the
assumed
rate
of
return
over
time,
largely
because
of
declining
bond
yields
and
bond
yields
or
the
price
of
borrowing
or
lending
money
have
decreased
significantly
over
the
past
few
decades.
So
you
can
see
by
the
declining
bars
the
last
year.
F
Notwithstanding
the
last
row,
you
can
see
that
the
probability
of
earning
the
generic
assumed
rate
of
return
for
most
plans
was.
It
was
very
high
40
years
ago,
but
not
so
much
now
and
that's
forced
the
retirement
plan
to
take
more
risk,
as
measured
by
the
standard
deviation
of
expected
returns.
As
you
can
see.
F
In
the
bottom
row,
so,
instead
of
being
able
to
be
largely
in
relatively
safe
bonds,
because
bond
yields
were
so
high,
the
plans
now
have
to
invest
in
a
diversified
manner
in
a
riskier
asset
allocation,
so
that
asset
allocation
is
largely
what
determines
plan
returns
or
whether
the
plans
are
in
stocks
or
bonds,
which
is
asset
allocation.
That
has
more
impact
on
returns
than
what
specific
stocks
or
specific
bonds
the
plans
are
in,
and
that
would
be
security
selection.
F
So
all
that
is
to
say
that
the
plan
returns
for
the
one-year
trailing
period
as
of
September
30th
were
negative:
nine
percent
for
Federated
and
negative
9.3
percent
for
police
and
fire
all
right.
So
for
some
context,
Global
stocks
and
bonds
were
down
anywhere
from
15
to
20
percent
over
the
same
time
period.
F
F
F
G
G
I
wanted
to
be
able
to
offer.
You
know
with
with
these
yearly
recordings
of
retirement
benefit
services
into
the
future.
You
know
you
can
always
note
I
the
way
that
things
are
spoken
about
in
Retirement,
Board
meetings.
You
know
it
they
they
plan
well
for
the
future,
and
they
they
they.
They
they
offer
things.
So
you
can
see
what's
what's
happening
and
taking
place,
I
hope
in
2023.
G
You
know
if
and
where
needed
that
you
know
we
can
be
open
with
ourselves
in
committee
reports
and
committee
agenda
mous
that
can
really
work
to
describe
what
to
expect
in
2023
for
as
difficult
as
2023
is
going
to
be.
It
sounds
like
it's
going
to
be
a
tough
year
for
ourselves.
We
do
also
have
plan
24
and
25
as
really
good
years
of
government
and
Community.
We
have
good
plans
for
those
years
and
it's
just
a
matter
that
we
we
can
write
out,
2023
and
and
just
stick
to
our
really
good
practices.
G
B
I
just
have
one
quick
question
Jay
with
sort
of
what
what
feels
as
though,
maybe
a
big
shift
in
the
investment
world
over
the
next,
maybe
a
year
or
so
and
I
know,
there's
this
concern
looming
of
another
deeper
recession
or
something
I'm,
just
kind
of
curious.
What
the
conversations
have
been
like
on
the
boards
and
if
there
were
any
shifts
that
were
made
this
year
due
to
sort
of
maybe
a
cautionary
advice
or
if
we're
planning
in
the
year
to
come.
B
A
B
C
B
H
So
good
afternoon,
Joe
Roy,
City,
otter,
I'm
here
with
patanjali
mandrakar,
Abella,
Obi
and
Adrian
Perez
from
my
office
to
present
our
audit
firearm
regulations.
The
city
should
update
procedures
around
gun,
violence,
restraining
orders
and
Firearm
business
inspections,
also
in
the
Box,
a
lieutenant
Donahue
and
Lieutenant
Kidwell
from
the
San
Jose
police
department.
H
H
The
San,
Jose
police
department
or
sjpd
enforces
these
laws
in
San
Jose,
including
investigating
and
making
arrests
for
firearm-related
offenses
the
department
also
initiates
or
processes,
gun,
violence,
restraining
orders
or
gvros
that
temporarily
remove
firearms
from
individuals
who
pose
a
risk
of
harm
to
themselves
or
others.
They
also
regulate
firearm
dealers
and
issues
concealed
carry
weapons
permits.
The
city
is
currently
also
working
to
establish
procedures
around
new
regulations
requiring
gun
owners
to
obtain
and
maintain
liability
insurance
and
pay
an
annual
gun
harm
reduction
fee.
H
The
objective
of
our
audit
was
to
review
the
city's
firearm
regulatory
processes
and
policies,
including
a
review
of
Trends
in
firearm.
Violence
in
the
city
thought
it
was
requested
by
a
council
member,
so
we
had
four
findings.
The
first
finding
is
that
firearm
related
incidents
have
increased
in
the
city
from
2017
to
2021
firearm
firearm
related
incidents
increased
by
25
percent
from
990
incidents
in
2017
to
1240.
In
2021.
H
H
Aggravated
assaults
and
robberies
made
up
over
70
percent
of
crimes
that
involved
a
firearm.
The
largest
increase
since
2017
was
in
the
broad
category
of
weapon
related
instance
such
as
illegal
possession
or
carrying
a
concealed
weapon.
Finally,
the
city
has
seen
a
significant
increase
in
the
number
of
privately
made.
Firearms,
sometimes
also
referred
to.
As
ghost
guns
in
2021
sjpd
submitted
168
to
the
Santa
Clara
County
District
Attorney's
crime
laboratory
for
processing
in
2015.
They
had
submitted
just
one.
H
The
second
finding
is
that
state
law
is
the
primary
Authority
regulating
firearms
in
the
city,
while
the
California
penal
code
is
the
primary
Authority
for
regulating
regulatory
purpose
in
the
city
and
District
Earth
and
federal
regulations,
cities
municode
provides
additional
regulations
regarding
licensing
firearm
dealers,
storing
a
firearm
in
a
residence
and
other
requirements
on
owning
or
possessing
a
firearm
in
the
city.
As
noted
earlier,
local
law
enforcement
agencies
such
as
sjpd
generally
enforce
state
and
federal
firearm
laws.
H
Currently
two
sections
at
the
San
Jose
Municipal
Code
conflict
with
California
Penal
Code
governing
firearm
sales.
There's
also
another
section
that
duplicates
the
state
requirement
around
Suicide
Prevention
noticing,
while
state
law
prevails
in
the
instances
where
there
is
a
conflict,
we
recommend
the
meaning
code
be
updated
to
better
align
with
state
regulations.
H
The
third
finding
is
that
the
police
department
should
update
internal
procedures
and
conduct
Outreach
on
gun
violence,
restraining
orders,
a
city
like
other
jurisdictions
can
use
gun,
violence,
restraining
orders
or
TV
Ros
to
remove
and
prevent
purchases
of
firearms
from
individuals
who
are
found
to
be
a
danger
to
themselves
or
others.
There
are
three
types
of
gbros
gun:
violence,
emergency
protective
orders
or
GV
epos,
which
can
be
served
by
law
enforcement
officers
with
the
approval
of
a
judge,
these
orders
last
21
days.
There
are
also
temporary
ex
parte
orders.
H
H
These
are
issued
by
the
court
after
one
of
the
temporary
orders
and
can
last
from
one
to
five
years
since
2018
the
city
has
filed
over
280
orders.
Overall,
the
number
of
gvros
issued
in
Santa
Clara
county
is
the
second
most
among
large
California
counties
with
San
Diego
County
issuing
most
the
current
process
for
these
orders
involved.
Multiple
parties,
including
the
police
department,
the
city
attorney's
office,
as
well
as
Santa
Clara
County,
and
the
courts
Senate.
H
The
sjpd's
duty
manual
defines
procedures
for
gvros,
but
currently
does
not
accurately
reflect
the
current
practice
or
differentiate
between
the
different
types
of
orders.
Unlike
some
jurisdictions,
the
cities
do
not
have
publicly
available
information
about
g
verozone's
website.
Also,
the
city
is
not
conduct
community.
H
Sjpd's
permits
unit
regulates
firearm
businesses
for
compliance
with
Community
code.
However,
the
unit
can
improve
guidance
on
inspections
by
defining
documentation
requirements
expected
frequency
of
inspections
and
compliance
guidelines.
We
found
there
were
inconsistencies
in
how
staff
reviewed
firearm,
businesses
for
compliance
and
staff
did
not
document
compliance
with
all
munichield
requirements.
H
The
report
has
seven
recommendations
to
improve
the
city's
processes
to
regulate
firearms
like
to
thank
the
San
Jose
police
department,
as
well
as
the
city
attorney's
office
and
City
manager's
office.
As
you
accept
the
report
and
cross-reference
to
the
January
24th
meeting
of
the
city
council
and
I'll
turn
it
over
to
Lieutenant,
Donahue
I
believe
for
the
administration's
response
and
we're
happy
to
answer
any
questions.
Thank
you.
I
Good
afternoon
my
name
is
Lieutenant
Steve
Donahue
I'm,
the
commander
of
research
and
development
at
the
San
Jose
police
department
and
I'm,
a
company
and
today
by
Lieutenant
Jason
Kidwell
from
our
secondary
employment
and
permits
unit.
The
department
would
like
to
thank
City
auditor,
Jill
Royce
and
his
staff
for
the
audit
on
firearm
regulations.
As
you
can
see
from
our
response
beginning
on
page
49
of
the
report
in
front
of
you,
the
department
is
greenlit
all
the
recommendations
from
the
auditor
pertaining
to
the
police
department.
I
In
addition,
the
city
attorney's
office
has
greenlit
the
recommendation
to
update
the
Munich
code
to
align
with
California
Penal
Code.
We
look
forward
to
implementing
these
changes,
to
increase
oversight
and
provide
the
community
with
key
information
on
gun,
violence,
restraining
orders,
and
now
we
are
here
for
any
questions
you
may
have.
J
J
First
of
all,
I
completely
support
the
findings
and
I
forget,
like
I
mentioned
I'm,
also
a
Firearms
instructor
and
have
been
working
with
City
staff
to
improve
the
safety
here
in
our
community,
which
I
think
we
have
an
opportunity
to
do
few
items
that
were
outside
of
the
scope
but
yet
relevant
to
the
issue
or
the
following.
One
is
funding.
It
doesn't
appear
that
we're
taking
advantage
of
the
funding
opportunities
that
are
available,
I,
believe
the
auditor's
Department
did
actually
submit
a
report
on
that
topic.
J
Just
a
few
days
ago,
the
City
of
Tucson
announced
that
they
received
half
a
million
dollars
as
part
of
a
Department
of
Justice
funding
to
Target
this
specific
area
of
firearms
enforcement.
So
I
don't
believe
that
we
have
taken
advantage
of
the
money
that's
available.
Another
is
relative
to
the
gun,
violence,
restraining
orders.
Actually
California
has
something
called
a
5150
and
it's
more
inclusive
than
the
gun.
Violence
restraining
orders:
if
people
are
dangerous,
they
really
should
be
getting
the
help
that
they
need
and
the
and
the
assessment.
J
J
Excuse
me,
another
is
the
and
and
really
this
is
the
big
one.
Oh
well,
two.
First
of
all
to
embrace
the
community.
That
was
one
of
the
recommendations.
There
are
a
lot
of
us
involved
that
have
been
doing
this
for
quite
a
few
years.
We
really
want
to
help,
but
we
need
a
mechanism
to
do
that,
and
so
that's
that's
key
and
then
thank
you
last
is
thank
you.
David.
You
hit
your
time.
C
B
D
E
Thank
you
I
just
want
to
add
something
a
little
bit
more
General
to
the
recommendation
5D,
which
is
to
ensure
completeness
of
inspections,
including
the
document
review
of
display
of
Suicide
Prevention,
domestic
violence,
prevention
and
local
gun
law
resources
and
I
just
want
to
expand
the
domestic
violence
to
gender-based
violence
prevention,
so
I'll
make
the
motion
to
approve
and
then
to
also
replace
any
mention
of
domestic
violence
that
we
replace
it
with
gender
base.
Violence.
D
D
H
So
I
guess
the
question
I
would
have.
Is
this
a
recommendation
of
the
department,
because
our
report
is
is,
is
final,
we're
not
going
to
reissue
the
report
with
additional
language,
so
I
would
just
want
Clarity
on
what
the
recommendation
is.
Is
it
to
the
department
to
in
implementing
5D
to
do
what
you
suggest
in
which.
D
B
And
I
second
in
I'm,
I'm,
fine
with
that
as
well:
okay,
no
other
hands.
Thank
you
Joe
for
bringing
this
back.
This
was
a
recommendation,
as
some
of
my
colleagues
were
called
and
I
know.
You
do
that.
I
brought
forward
after
I
lost
a
good
friend
of
mine
to
gun
violence
at
the
VTA
Courtyard,
and
really
trying
to
to
think
that
summer.
B
On
on
what
more
we
could
do
within
our
scope
of
work,
and
this
was
one
of
the
ideas
and
there
was
a
couple
other
there
and
so
I'm
I'm
glad
that
we
were
able
to
see
the
conclusion
of
of
this
audit
and
that
you
were
able
to
find
some
some
good
recommendations.
I
I,
look
at
the
audits
a
lot
of
times
that
you're
able
to
do,
especially
when
you
see
them
like
this,
where
the
department
is
responding
with
all
green,
which
I
imagine
I
could
speak
for
the
Department
here
to
say
right.
It's!
A
B
B
It
all
right
all
right.
Did
you
get
a
hey
too
late,
because
no
but
I
appreciate
it,
though
thank
you.
I
did
I
happen
to
just
catch
that
one
today
actually,
but
nonetheless
not
important
context
of
of
what
the
report
was.
It
was
helpful.
I,
look
forward
to
the
work
that
the
council
does
continuing
to
try
and
stem
gun
violence
that
we
see
throughout
our
community.
With
that
we'll
take
a
roll
Cabo.
B
C
B
B
G
G
I
I
just
wanted
to
note
I
read
in
the
SJ
Spotlight
the
other
day.
They
they
wrote
a
story
on
on
the
future
of
the
electronic
billboard
issue
and
you
talked
about
eight
seven
or
eight
places
where
you
want
to
place
the
future
of
electronic
Billboards.
All
of
those
places
were
in
commercial,
downtown,
centers
and
corners,
and
it
really
just
spoke
to
the
concept
you
guys
are
wanting
to
promote
surveillance
and
data
collection,
technology
practices.
G
For
you
know
the
advancement
of
economics
and
law
enforcement
and
the
and
the
you
know
National
Security
State.
Basically,
I
was
pretty
offended
and
I'm
going
to
be
pretty
insulted.
If
you're
going
to
continue
to
push
the
electronic
billboard
issue
I'm
going
to
fight
you
guys
pretty
hard
on
that
issue,
they're
at
the
airport.
Now
you
know
high
above
monitoring
cars.
Let's
leave
it
at
that.
I!
G
Don't
want
you
guys,
monitoring
people
with
electronic
Billboards
and
then
saying
you're,
somehow
Innovative
you're
exploiting
people,
but
by
doing
that,
work,
you're,
not
being
Innovative
I
think
we
should
wait
very
much
for
the
future
of
the
electronic
billboard
issue.
Please
and
I
want
to
work
really
hard
to
discuss
how
we
can
talk
about
open
practices,
open
data
collection
practices
for
the
community
to
debate
the
process
of
what
you
know,
how
it
can
work,
and
it
just
has
to
work
that
way.
G
You
have
to
learn
to
talk
about
a
data
collection
more
openly
in
the
future
and
good
luck,
how
we
can
do
that.
That's
my
final
words
to
people.
You
know
there's
a
future
this!
This
work,
that's
it's
going
to
be
important
to
our
lives.
It's
not
going
to
be
pushed
around
the
way
it
has
been.
It's
going
to
be
open
and
free
and
shared.
Thank
you.
B
K
D
And
I'll
just
say,
given
that
I'm,
the
only
remaining
member
of
Pittsburgh
I,
suspect,
I'll,
probably
stay
on
so
I
just
want
to
encourage
you
both
to
be
nice
to
me,
or
else
you're
only
going
to
get
one
minute,
and
we
may
not
in
fact
have
those
continued
meetings
with
the
county,
but
but
in
all
seriousness,
I
just
want
I
wanted
to
say
thank
you
for
the
leadership
of
councilmember
Perales
who's
been
the
chair
of
this
committee.
It
seems
like
forever
and
I.
D
I
was
joking
with
someone
earlier
that
you
know.
I
try
to
show
up
at
all
the
committee
meetings.
Council
meetings,
but
I
I
also
know
that
Raul's
always
here
he
never
misses
a
meeting,
and
so
it
was
always
comforting
knowing
that
even
if
I
did
need
a
Miss
meeting,
he
would
have
it
covered.
So
very
much
appreciate
all
the
work
each
and
every
of
you
have
done
and
I
don't
know
if
councilmember
Jones
is
listening,
but
I
wish
you
well
too.
L
D
E
E
I'm
going
to
miss
him
very
much
and
I'm
going
to
miss
a
lot
of
the
a
lot
of
the
skill
sets
that
you
bring
into
what
do
you
call
it
said:
Hills,
the
sausage
making
of
policy
right
and
your
diplomacy,
your
level-headedness
and
your
willingness
to
just
really
want
to
make
things
work
for
our
city
and
so
I
drive
at
Tahoe.
Please
make
sure
you
do
not
pull
me
over
I.
L
L
Just
you
know,
done
an
amazing
job
of
of
directing
and
leading
this
committee,
and
it's
been
incredibly
impressive
and
council
member
Arenas
you've
been
a
fierce
advocate
for
for
families
and
for
children,
and
you
know
I
admire
your
passion
and
commitment
and
in
those
areas
you
know
I,
look
to
you
and
your
leadership
and
where
you
lead,
I,
follow
and
I
hope
that
I've.
You
know
that
you
felt
that
I've
supported
you
and
your
efforts
and
and
moving
your
initiatives
forward.
L
Council
member
Jimenez
you've
been
great
to
work
with
over
the
last.
You
know
six
years
and
you
know:
we've
created
an
incredible
Bond
and
I
really
admire
and
look
up
to
you
as
well.
You
ask
a
lot
of
really
great
questions
and
a
lot
of
insightful
questions
and
I
I
have
taken
notice
and
it's
very
impressive
and
staff.
Lee
again
it's
been
a
privilege
to
serve
with
you.
You
we've
had
some
some
good
laughs
and
some
great
conversations
and
and
it's
it's
been
a
joy
and
a
pleasure
and
just
staff
in
general.
L
A
D
B
I
think
the
vice
mayor
doesn't
get
hit
by
anything
out
there,
but
I
guess
I'll,
give
just
a
couple
parting
words
as
well.
First
I
want
to
say
thank
you
to
my
colleagues
for
your
kind
words
that
you
shared
I
have
thoroughly
enjoyed
sharing
this
committee,
specifically
coming
from
working
in
the
police
department,
myself
and
then
being
able
to
be
on
the
policy
side
of
things
here.
It
has
been
a
tremendous
learning
opportunity
and
growing
opportunity
and
and
I
really
appreciate
my
colleagues
and
the
support
from
from
City
staff.
B
We've
had
a
number
through
that
I've
been
able
to
work
through
the
years,
but
with
us
today,
Rosa
and
Lee.
Thank
you
so
much,
there's
somebody
that's
always
sort
of
hiding
in
the
background,
doing
a
lot
of
the
work
and
I.
Don't
know
why
he
always
does
that
as
well,
when
he
sits
in
here,
which
is
Peter
Hamilton,
but
you
can
never
really
see
him,
but
but
he
does
a
tremendous
job,
always
in
the
background,
whether
it's
in
person
or
or
not,
and
so
what
it
is.
B
It's
been
a
pleasure
being
able
to
serve
as
your
chair
for
about
the
last
six
years
or
so
on
on
this
committee,
and
so
I've
enjoyed
it
and
I
look
forward
to
potentially
coming
back
and
and
maybe
presenting
at
some
point
in
the
future.
So
but
thank
you
very
much
to
everybody
and
for
the
final
time,
this
meeting
is
adjourned.
