I'm

office
of
Economic
Development
and
cultural
Affairs
and
I'm
here
today
with
my
city
colleagues,
to
provide
you
with
an
update
on
some
quality
of
life
initiatives
that
we've
been
working
with
or
working
on,
I'm
here
with
Rachel
Roberts

B
Sorry
to
interrupt
one
second,
so
I'm
not
sure
we're
able
to
view
what's
on
the
screen
in
this
little
monitor.
Are
we
because,
like
so,
you
need
to
still
click
on
the
larger
screen?
No,
is
it
here?
Okay,
because
I'm
on
I'm,
sorry
about
that
logging?
Oh
there,
it
is
so
hit
one
from
that
home
screen
there.
You
go
all
right!
Sorry,
sorry
about
that!
Take
it.
E
Okay,
we're
good
gotta
love
technology
right,
okay,
so
today
we
are
actually
bringing
forward
a
more
comprehensive
report
on
our
work,
around
downtown
quality
of
life
initiatives
and
we'll
discuss
efforts
in
the
following
categories:
crime
reduction,
blight
mitigation,
Social,
Service,
Coordination
and
quality
of
life.
Metrics.
G
G
The
San
Jose
police
department
understands
the
importance
of
having
a
safe
and
vibrant
downtown
I
will
be
covering
the
crime
reduction
portion
of
the
status
report.
The
Department's
current
safety
planuses
supplement
our
standard
Patrol
Division,
with
additional
Services
consistent
of
the
downtown
foot
patrol
downtown
Services
Unit
and
the
community
policing
officer.
G
G
G
H
So
the
majority
of
our
program
is
complaint
complaint
based.
However,
we
do
conduct
proactive
monitoring
inspections
for
building
your
storefronts
that
have
been
in
violation
for
30
days
or
more
or
if
they
are
located
within
the
downtown
mandatory
registration
area
in
the
instance
of
a
building
or
storefront.
That
is
determined
to
be
in
violation
for
30
days
or
more.
We
are
conducting
a
monthly
inspection.
H
And
that
is
done
proactively,
if
they're,
not
in
violation
but
are
within
the
downtown
mandatory
registration
area,
we're
inspecting
those
buildings
or
storefronts
quarterly,
and
that's
also
done
proactively
So.
Currently,
within
the
downtown
area,
there
are
64
vacant
properties,
six
of
which
are
being
monitored
on
a
monthly
basis
and
four
are
being
monitored
quarterly.
E
So
over
the
last
year
we
had
about
30
percent
of
the
grants
that
were
given
out
in
the
program
were
given
out
to
downtown
businesses.
There
were
three
exterior
sorry:
there
were
three
vacant
storefront
grants
and
that's
a
fifteen
thousand
dollar
Grant
and
there
were
10
exterior
storefront
grants
and
the
exterior
storefront
grants
is
for
things
like
outdoor
seating
for
getting
a
new
sign.
For
you
know,
painting
your
facade
anything
that
has
to
do
with
improving
the
exterior
of
your
building.
E
E
The
third
strategy
that
downtown
has
kind
of
very
different
than
anywhere
else
in
the
city
is
really
the
downtown
property-based
improvement
district,
and
that
is
a
special
assessment
District.
Just
this
past
June,
the
business
or
the
property
owners
downtown
renewed
The
District
for
another
10
years,
with
almost
a
90
percent
approval
rate
and
the
pbid
services
that
are
delivered
through
groundworks.
The
folks
that
you
see
downtown
wearing
the
orange
and
and
green
shirts
are
are
specifically
centered
around
enhanced
cleaning
safety
and
beautification
services.
E
With
the
renewal
of
the
pbid
for
another
10
years,
there
was
actually
an
expansion
component
to
the
boundaries
of
the
pbid,
so
going
more
into
downtown
west,
going
into
the
North
San
Jose
North
San,
Pedro
area
kind
of
just
above
San,
Pedro
Square
between
San,
Pedro
and
kind
of
the
Market
Center
Coleman,
and
then
also
into
along
East
Santa
Clara
Street.
The
Peabody
is
managed
through
the
San
Jose,
downtown
Association
and
obviously
the
city
has
a
very
long
history
of
of
programs
and
Partnerships
with
the
Downtown
Association.
E
E
One
of
the
other
other
components
that
came
out
of
our
meeting
with
downtown
stakeholders
in
the
summer
of
2022
was
actually
a
desire
for
us
to
engage
in
increased
Social,
Service,
Coordination
and
so
a
small
group
of
staff
that
includes
City
staff.
County
staff,
the
Downtown,
Association
and
path
actually
began
meeting
on
a
more
regular
basis
to
try
and
work
towards
the
three
desired
outcomes
that
you
see
in
the
first.
E
So.
At
this
point,
the
group
is
primarily
focused
on
achieving
achieving
a
goal:
number
two
or
outcome
number
two,
which
is
the
establishment
of
a
case
management
for
storefront
someplace
in
the
core,
where
either
path,
who's
who's,
our
downtown
service
provider
and
or
the
new
social
impact
team
that
the
Downtown
Association
is
standing
up
through
the
pbid,
we'll
be
able
to
invite
folks
that
they
are
working
with
and
trying
to
connect
to
services
into
a
warm
space.
E
I
I
So
path
was
able
to
contact
about
half
of
those
individuals
within
a
couple
hours
to
address
their
needs.
The
other
10
or
so
could
not
be
found.
So
that's
kind
of
the
the
importance
of
this
program
is
being
able
to
respond
rapidly
to
Residents,
who
are
calling
in
people
who
who
need
care
can
call
in
probably
68
percent
of
the
calls
or
sorry
68
calls
occurred
during
normal
business
hours,
and
then
there
was
a
few
that
occurred
after
hours
and
most
of
the
calls
were
from
concert
residents.
I
E
B
A
J
K
K
K
You
know
what
what
are
we
doing
to
build
quality
of
life?
Community
Harmony
I
mean
these
are
suggestions
you're,
offering
things
to
offer
the
work
that
I
do
with
accountability
with
tech
is
incredibly
important.
Think
of
people
in
downtown
who
feel
comfortable
to
ask
yourselves
what
sort
of
technology
is
being
placed
in
downtown.
That's
surveilling
me
can
I
ask
you
those
questions
if
you
can
answer
those
questions
fast,
building,
quality
of
life,
that's
building
trust,
that's
building,
Community,
democracy,
good
luck
on
those
efforts
and
it's
important.
M
M
M
The
problem
with
that
is
that
it's
doing
it
under
the
premise
of
being
kind
of
being
compassionate
and
really
really
concerned
about
the
the
safety
of
the
person,
the
time
to
be
concerned
about
the
safety
and
the
quality
of
life
for
the
person
with
with
his
parents
or
with
his
grandparents,
because
these
issues
that
we
have
as
a
city
are
generational
and
we
have
never
come
to
a
time
where
we
have
removed
the
major
contributor
to
Crime,
which
is
poverty,
reduce
the
poverty.
You
reduce
the
crime
here,
it's
a
very
clear
correlation,
very
clear.
M
There's
no
debate
on
that.
So
what
what?
What?
What?
What?
What
what
is
concerning
is
that
the
legitimization
of
having
this
presence
downtown
and
then
locking
people
up
because
they're
experiencing
the
neglect
of
the
city
policy,
to
address
the
racist
policies
that
have
infected
this
city
for
Generations.
M
So
we
need
to
why?
Don't
we
talk
about
that,
because
there
has
never
come
a
time
that
you
can
introduce
me
to
a
date
where
that
has
been
properly
properly,
contextualized
analyzed
and
then
institutionalized
policies
that
address
those
issues
which,
in
turn
would
have
a
direct
impact
on
those
crime.
Metrics.
O
Great
good
afternoon,
thank
you,
Mr
chair
and,
most
importantly,
thank
you
to
blague
and
those
who
are
part
of
the
working
group.
I,
see
path
and
San
Jose
path
and
San
Jose,
downtown
Association
I'm,
pointing
at
the
wrong
people,
but
most
importantly,
I
I
actually
want
to
thank
our
small
businesses
in
our
downtown
who
continue
to
be
resilient,
who
continue
to
be
resilient
and
continue
to
succeed
with
so
many
concerns
in
our
downtown,
and
we
see
them
and
hear
them
every
day,
right
on
house
residents,
retail
crime,
Bank
of
buildings
and
other
blight.
O
And
those
are
our
true
champions
in
in
our
downtown,
and
we
really
really
have
to
do
this
right
and
so,
as
a
downtown
council.
Member
I
really
want
to
work
with
our
city
departments,
our
non-profit
folks
and
our
small
businesses
to
create
effective
policies
and
solutions
for
for
our
downtown
and
so
I
remain
optimistic
and
committed.
O
A
O
Little
bit
better,
we
can
do
downtown
for
patrols
later
on
in
the
in
the
evening,
when
it's
a
little
bit
more
necessary
than
than
the
daytime,
so
I
have
I,
have
a
few
questions
and,
and
one
other
question
is,
is
and
I
think
I
heard
the
captain.
Thank
you
Captain
for
being
here,
and
thank
you
for
for
all
that
you
do
for
our
downtown.
O
O
Has
there
ever
been
any
talk
to
of
doing
downtown
foot
Patrols
during
the
the
either
the
the
swing
shift
of
our
of
our
sjpd
or
from
2PM
to
10
p.m?
When
when
you
know
especially
Thursdays
Fridays
and
Saturdays,
when
our
small
businesses
need
them,
the
most
I
know
it's
important
to
have
them
from
from
nine
to
five.
But
it's
it's
also.
O
It's
one
of
them,
but
also
we're
reporting
we're
getting
a
lot
of
small
businesses
being
broken
into
in
the
evening,
especially
in
some
of
our
our
not
so
productive
or
thriving
corridors
or
being
broken
into
during
the
daytime
as
well
or
after
the
cops
leave.
So
is
there?
Has
there
been
any
conversation
regarding
doing
downtown
foot
Patrols
in
the
in
the
evening.
G
Thank
you,
council,
member
for
the
question
so
initially
when
we
started
the
full-time
deployment
at
that
time,
we
also
had
additional
police
services
that
helped
us
in
the
downtown
core
area:
downtown
Services,
Unit
being
one
of
them
and
our
easy
car
deployment
and
our
MCAT
and
other
other
departments
and
officers
So
based
on
the
need.
Then,
when
we
started
the
full-time
which
was
July
of
22,
there
was
a
lot
of
need
for
the
day
shift
right.
We
were
coming
out
of
a
pandemic.
G
O
O
H
Okay,
so
the
first
part
we're
functioning
as
best
as
we
can.
We
only
have
one
inspector
assigned
to
that
program.
That's
all
the
funding
we
have
for
in
positions.
We
have
dedicated
to
that
program,
so
you
know
vacant
buildings.
The
number
that
we
see
not
only
in
the
downtown
but
throughout
the
community
does
change
with
the
times
based
on
what's
Happening,
so
we
have
seen
you
know.
H
As
you
know,
an
uptick
in
in
the
number
of
buildings
throughout
the
city,
so
it'd
be
definitely
could
use
some
additional
Staffing
to
support
that
program
so
that
we
could
be
even
more
responsive,
but
we
are
doing
our
best
to
to
get
out
there
make
sure
we're
hitting
our
targets
for
the
the
quarterly
monitoring.
That's
required.
That's
the
proactive
piece!
That's
we're
checking
these
buildings
to
make
sure
they're.
They
are
maintained
in
accordance
with
the
code
and
then,
if
not,
then
they
move
into
the
monthly
monitoring.
H
So
so
we
are,
as
I
said,
doing
our
best
to
meet
those
targets
and
we
are
most
of
the
time
and
then
but
there's
a
lot
of
enforcement
that
goes
into
maintaining
these
vacant
in
buildings,
because
on
any
given
day,
you
could
have
someone
that
trespasses
the
building
breaks
in
it
becomes
unsecure.
Now
we
have
to
do
a
board
up,
or
they
have
graffiti
or
or
some
other
blight,
and
that
we
have
to
address
so
they're
all
at
different
stages
of
enforcement.
It
just
depends
on
what's
happening
with
the
with
the
building
as.
H
Yes,
they're
billed
quarterly,
so
they
would
be.
Excuse
me
either
build
three
quarters
at
a
time,
and
so,
if
they
don't
pay
that
registration
fee,
there
is
a
process
in
the
in
the
municipal
code
for
us
to
bring
them
before
the
pills
hearing
board
for
not
paying
that
that
registration,
but
as
far
as,
if
they're,
not
maintaining
their
building
like
there's
blight
there,
it's
unsecured
and
so
forth.
We
use
our
normal
enforcement
processes
for
those
situations,
so
citations
and
administrative
remedies
abatements
that
they're
held
accountable
for
the
costs
and
so
forth.
H
O
Okay
and
then
lastly,
I
want
to
definitely
talk
about
our
unhoused
and
our
in
our
downtown.
One
I
definitely
want
to
be
part.
Our
my
office
or
myself
definitely
want
to
be
part
of
the
working
group
that
we
have.
So
you
know
we're
I'm
very
committed
to
a
to
a
cleaner,
safer
downtown
for
for
everyone,
and
then
the
second
question
is:
is
we
recently
had
a
constituent
who
was
unhoused,
who
called
us
during
an
abatement
and
when
my
team
got
there,
there
was
no
services
for
him.
O
Unfortunately,
and
so
you
know,
we've
been
told
time
and
time
again
that
services
or
folks
who
cover
that
area
must
be
there.
But
you
know
this
man
unfortunately
had
no
no
help,
no
assistance,
while
the
our
you
know,
sjpd
and
beautiful
SJ
were
were
abating
that,
but
he
you
know,
unfortunately,
was
left
with
his
hands
up
in
the
air
and
already
so
much
is
happening
to
this
poor
man's
life.
O
But
there
was
no
one
there
for
to
help
him,
so
so
I
I
really
just
want
to
make
sure
that
when
we
are
abating
these
encampments
that
we
actually
do
have
Services
there,
because
we're
told
time
and
time
again
that
they're
not
I
mean
that
they
are
I'm.
Sorry
excuse
me
that
they
are,
but
in
that
situation
they're
not,
and
this
unhoused
resident
actually
called
our
office
and
my
team
had
to
go
out
and
check
it
out.
I
We
are
in
the
middle
of
revamping
our
policies
and
procedures
as
we
move
through
beautify,
SJ
and
housing
working
together
on
these
efforts,
and
we
can
certainly
discuss
what
that
would
look
like
and
it
it's
it's
hard,
because
we
only
have
five
people
on
our
Citywide
Outreach
team
who
responds
to
abatements
and
we
get
over
6
000
calls
a
year.
So
it's
a
very
reactive
team,
we're
definitely
strapped
for
resources
to
be
at
every
abatement.
Great.
O
Yeah
and
and
I
know
how
hard
it
is
to
work
with
our
unhoused
population
and
I
know
that
our
team
is
doing
their
best.
But
again,
when
my
team
went
out
there,
you
just
hit
it
right
on
the
head.
When
my
team
went
out
there,
they
were
like
well,
who
can
we
talk
to
one
person
to
that
person
and
then,
when
they
went
to
go
speak
to
that
person?
Oh,
that
person,
guess
what
that
person
said.
O
Oh
back
to
the
first
person
and
and
when
city
council
staff
goes
out
and
is
doing
that
in
front
of
our
unhoused
resident,
who
is
already
suffering
the
worst
of
the
worst.
That
doesn't
look
right
not
only
on
us,
but
I
mean
they're,
losing
faith
in
the
system
as
well,
so
I'll
just
leave
it
at
that.
I
have
tons
of
more
questions
because
I
didn't
I,
didn't,
unfortunately
get
a
briefing
on
this
time
around
so
I
will
send
my
questions
to
either
blog
a
or
folks.
C
Okay
good
afternoon,
thank
you
for
that
report.
I
get
a
couple
of
questions,
because
I
think
my
colleague
covered
a
lot
about
the
downtown,
the
crime
area
and
unhoused.
So
I'll
ask
you
a
couple
of
different
questions.
One
about
your
vacant
stores.
You
reported
what
has
been
filled
and
what
you
have
brought.
Could
you
give
us
an
idea
of
where
you
are
in
any
backlog
of
inventory
of
people
who
you
are
talking
to
and
over
the
next
three
months
to
six
months?
How
much
of
it
you
may
be
able
to
fill?
C
E
There
was
some
talk
in
the
mayor's
transition
committee
about
a
specific
allocation
to
activate
storefronts
downtown,
and
so
we
are
putting
that
in
well.
The
staff
is
putting
that
into
the
list
of
items
that
the
administration-
you
know
we're
asking
the
administration
to
consider
in
this
next
budget
process
with
respect
to
to
Leasing,
so
that
the
numbers
that
we
put
up
were
were
literally
just
for
Q4.
So
in
Q4
that
we
had
nine
storefronts,
you
know
or
nine
new
businesses
open.
We
did
have
six
businesses
closed.
E
So
part
of
the
reason
that
we
wanted
to
start
to
collect
these
metrics
is
to
have
a
better
idea
kind
of
quarter
over
quarter.
What
our
you
know,
gain
and
loss
might
be,
and
so
I
think
we'll
be
able
to
tell
that
now
more
moving
forward,
but
we
definitely
have
I
mean
over
the
pandemic.
In
the
last
couple
of
years,
we
have
certainly
had
people
look
to
open
their
businesses
in
downtown.
C
C
C
Yeah,
so
if
you
haven't
looked
into
it,
please
look
into
it,
you
may
may
or
may
not
be
able
to
do
it.
There
might
be
other
privacy
concerns
and
other
things
might
come
in
your
way,
but
if
not,
it
would
be
a
good
thing
to
have
in
place
so
that
we
can
locate
these
people
and
give
them
the
service
they
need.
Okay,
thank
you
very
much.
P
Thank
you.
Thank
you
for
the
report.
I
know
that
downtown
has
many
sort
of
layered
issues
and
I'm
just
wondering
that
overall
I'm
really
delighted
that
you
are
going
to
be
tracking
and
having
metrics
so
that
you
know
the
data
will
inform
all
of
us,
but
I'm
just
wondering,
given
that
downtown
really
needs
a
lot
of
love
in
many
many
aspects.
P
So
it's
going
to
take
a
long
time
to
be
able
to
assist
and
help
those
who
need
the
help,
as
well
as
bringing
storefronts
to
be
much
more
as
council
member
Torah
says,
vibrant
right,
I
know
a
lot
of
people
who
don't
want
to
come
downtown
so
simply
because
they
feel
that
well,
what's
over
there
there's
nothing
over
there
and
wow
I.
Don't
think.
That's
true.
I
also
think
that
that
we
ought
to
have
some
kind
of
strategy
to
be
able
to
say.
P
Okay,
we're
going
to
deal
with
this
here,
we're
going
to
deal
with
that
there,
and
this
is
how
we're
going
to
move
over.
Some
things
are
going
to
take
longer
than
others
and
I
was
just
curious
as
to
whether-
and
maybe
you
have
that
already
but
I
but
I
I-
think
that,
as
as
we
move
forward
out
of
where
we've
been
the
last
three
years,
we
ought
to
be
very
strategic
in
how
we
move
forward
and
I
do
know
that
the
downtown
vibrancy
group
had
recommendations.
P
I
know
that
the
mayor
wants
to
put
money
in
for
some
of
the
need
there,
but
I
also
think
that
we
need
to
be
intentional,
because
we
can
continue
doing
the
same
thing
and
have
the
same
results.
So
I'm
just
wondering
is
there?
Is
there
going
to
be
something?
That's
much
more.
You
know
sort
of
planned.
E
So,
council,
member
I,
appreciate
your
comments
and
I
would
say
that
I
think
that
we
are
being
intentional
based
on
the
feet,
the
overwhelming
feedback
that
that
we
have
heard
as
we
were
coming
out
of
the
pandemic
right,
it
was
a
little
bit
different
kind
of
pre-pandemic
in
2019
and
kind
of
where
downtown
was
in
the
trajectory
of
downtown
and
the
Investments
that
had
been
made
and
just
kind
of
the
general.
The
general
talk
about
downtown
was
was
much
more
upbeat
and
then
covet
happened.
Obviously
you
know
has
impacted.
E
Our
city
throughout
the
city
has
had
negative
impacts,
but
specifically
downtown
has
been
much
slower
to
recover
for
a
variety
of
variety
of
reasons,
and
so
I
would
say
that
in
our
conversations
about
how
to
get
people
to
come
back
downtown
and
why,
let's
say
somebody
would
rather
go
into
their
office
versus
working
remotely
from
home,
it
really
has
centered
around
ensuring
that
the
in
the
environment
that
they're
coming
into
or
their
environment,
that
they're
going
out
to
lunch
to
once
they've
come
into
to
the
office.
To
work
is
inviting
it's
clean.
They
feel
safe.
E
Those
three
or
two
themes
of
clean
and
safe,
come
up
repeatedly
as
well
as
and
I
would
include
kind
of,
as
well
as
the
the
homeless
situation
or
the
unhoused
situation,
so
I
think
for
for
right.
Now
we
we
have
we're
kind
of
all
working
towards
the
same
two
or
three
kind
of
we
have
these
two
or
three
umbrellas
and
the
strategies
and
tactics
that
we're
implementing
seem
to
be
pretty
aligned
with
what
we're
hearing
from
from
a
variety
of
different
stakeholder
groups.
P
Yeah
I
think
maybe
within
a
certain
circle,
you
know
what
you're
doing
but
I
think
more
broadly
throughout
San,
Jose
I,
don't
think
that's
the
case.
I
think
that
people
come
and
you
know
maybe
they
go
to
the
library
or
something
and
they
find
themselves.
Oh
well,
nothing
has
changed
right,
so
I
think
that
more
broadly,
perhaps
we
need
to
tell
others
what
they're
doing
what
you're
doing.
F
F
C
Q
You
for
your
question,
so
we
do
have
some
contractual
outcomes
according
to
our
contract,
primarily
our
goals
are
around
connecting
to
people
getting
them
a
permanent
housing
placements
transitional
or
interim
housing
placements,
and
also
completing
assessments
to
get
people
enrolled
in
our
County's.
Coordinated
entry
assist
assessment
system.
Those
housing
assessments
help
determine
if
somebody
is
best
place
for
permanent
Supportive,
Housing,
Rapid,
rehousing
or
other
types
of
housing
interventions.
Q
Yeah
Santa
Clara
County's,
coordinated
assessment
system
or
coordinated
entry
system
so
that
housing
assessment
that
I
mentioned
before
helps
triage
people
to
the
right
level
of
care.
So
people
who
are
the
most
vulnerable
folks
who
have
the
longest
history
of
homelessness,
folks
that
have
the
most
medical
vulnerabilities,
mental
health
vulnerabilities,
History
of
Violence
within
their
families,
they're
prioritized
to
the
top
of
the
housing
list
for
permanent
Supportive
Housing
placements.
F
Q
So
the
assessment
is
actually
a
standardized
assessment
that
was
developed
about
10
years
ago.
At
this
point,
every
County
delivers
these
assessments
and
every
Outreach
worker
and
every
entry
point
in
the
system
is
trained
to
be
able
to
deliver
this
assessment,
whether
you're
a
social
worker,
whether
you're,
an
Outreach
case
manager,
a
peer
support
specialist
anyone
should
be
able
to
deliver
this
assessment.
Q
With
the
expansion
of
our
Outreach
team,
through
this
CARE
program
we
were
able
to
add
housing
Specialists
who
build
relationships
with
the
landlords
so
that
we
can
increase
our
available
housing
stock
even
outside
of
the
coordinated
assessment
system.
It
helped
us
to
be
able
to
create
a
benefit
specialist
position,
knowing
that
some
of
our
folks,
their
primary
attention,
needs
to
be
towards
treating
their
health
care
and
getting
medical
assurance
and
getting
benefits
for
that.
Q
So
we
have
benefit
Specialists
that
will
help
people
be
able
to
increase
their
resources
in
health
care
so
that
they
can
focus
on
that
full-time.
So,
yes,
our
goal,
contractually
I
believe,
is
15
in
the
last
two
quarters.
I
do
believe.
I
have
my
goals
here
in
the
past
two
quarters:
I
believe
that
we've
seen
about
11
people
exit
our
services
due
to
permanent
housing
placements
and
then
an
additional
27
people
get
connected
to
Temporary
shelter,
where
we
can
continue
to
work
with
them.
F
Q
It's
a
great
question:
that's
actually
one
of
our
primary
goals
that
our
Outreach
team
is
working
on
with
folks,
even
while
we're
still
waiting
to
find
housing
placements
for
folks.
So
anybody
when
they
enroll
in
our
programs,
we
do
an
assessment
to
screen
what
types
of
benefits
and
income
people
already
have.
We
try
to
pair
them
with
benefit
advocacy
and
application
support.
We
also
recently
created
an
Employment
Specialist
for
people
who
are
interested
in
working
to
be
able
to
increase
their
earned
income
as
well.
B
B
I
know
that
Alex
you
mentioned
what
they
were
doing
in
Reno
from
the
Downtown
Association,
where
there's
going
to
be
a
dashboard
if
it
passes
in
which
it'll
reflect
in
a
very
in
very
real
time,
it
seems
how
many
beds
are
available
and
where-
and
so
that
seems
to
me,
to
be
a
critical
thing-
that
sort
of
what
you're
touching
on
right.
How
do
we
plug
people
into
those
so
just
wanted
to
share
that,
so
you
can
keep
an
eye
out
for
it.
Yeah.
F
B
You
so
so
I
just
have
a
few
questions
about.
Obviously
downtown
I
was
hoping
someone
just
to
to
sort
of
provide
a
sample
of
what
you're
dealing
with
I
notice
on
the
corner,
for
example-
and
this
is
obviously
not
a
representative
of
downtown
but
I'm
very
familiar
with
downtown
corner
of
second
and
East
Santa
Clara
Street.
You
see
that
that
that
corner
there,
that
sort
of
has
the
the
board
on
front
is
I,
think
it's
called
eyes
or
something
some
artwork.
That's
up.
R
A
B
R
H
So
that
building
has
been
vacant
for
a
very
long
time
and
we've
been
doing
ongoing
enforcement.
It's
been
in
the
monitoring
program.
We
did
Issue
a
compliance
order
under
some
Provisions
within
the
vacant,
building
ordinance
that
speak
to
Chronic
vacancy
and
they
are
now
have
a
building
permit,
so
they
are
considered
somewhat
somewhat
exempt.
But
there's
some
other
issues
still
going
on
related
to
that
to
that
building
and
so
they're
not
out
of
our
program
yet.
H
But
but
we,
the
former
mayor,
licardo,
brought
forward
a
proposal
just
before
the
end
of
his
term,
that
we
take
a
look
at
the
ordinance
and
see
if
we
can
strengthen
the
ordinance
based
on
that
exact
scenario,
where
we're
seeing
buildings
that
just
go
on
and
on
and
sit
vacant
with
no
activity
or
intent
of
that
changing.
So
at
some
point,
staff
will
be
looking
at
them.
S
Nancy
Klein
Economic
Development
just
wanted
to
give
you
a
minute
of
the
background.
The
you
building
we've
been
working
with
for
a
very
long
time.
There
was
a
Redevelopment
agency
loan
that
now
is
very
clear
that
the
the
building
owner
has
defaulted
on.
We
are
putting
them
Julia,
Cooper
Finance
is
putting
them
in
in
foreclosure
and
part
of
the
other
piece.
That's
difficult
council
member
is
the
Hazmat
which
they
were
tasked
to
clean
up
and
got
a
grant
from
dtsc
and
they're
also
was.
S
Is
the
cost
to
clean
up
the
the
Hazmat,
because,
after
time
being
left
without
being
cleaned
up
is
in
the
drinking
is
in
the
groundwater,
and
it
has
migrated
beyond
the
site
and
cleanup
of
the
Hazmat
is
is
greater
than
the
value
of
the
building.
So
we
are
working
to
find
a
weight
for
another
entity
to
get
hold
of
the
building.
So
those
steps
are
in
motion
and
we
know
it's
unsightly
and
it's
taken
way
too
long.
B
K
B
Yeah
I
sense.
It
was
there
to
help,
try
to
beautify
it.
Well,
it's
it's
vacant.
So
I
guess
you
know.
Actually
you
Rachel
touched
on
something
the
one
of
the
many
gifts
that
mayor
Le
Carter
left
us
before
he
left
it
seems
to.
Was
it
something
the
rules
that
he
submitted
as
relates
to
the
meaning
code?
Can
you
remind
me.
B
Okay,
because
one
of
the
things
I
was
curious
about
is
you
know
where
essentially
is
a
city
up
here,
where
the
policy
makers
setting
the
rules
for
by
which
it
seems
that
these
building
owners
need
to
abide
by,
and
so
I've
often
wondered
well,
why
don't
we
strengthen
those
or
change
them
or
do
something
to
help
enforce
it,
and
so,
where
exactly
is
that,
so
that
ref
I
will
call
it
a
referral,
but
that
recommendation
was
made
to
rule?
Did
it
pass
where?
Where,
where?
Where
is
it
for
21
I,
don't
know
Lee.
D
You,
chairman
is
Rosalind,
Huey,
Deputy
city
manager,
so,
yes,
to
follow
on
what
Rachel
was
sharing,
so
that
memo
on
downtown
there
were
actually
a
couple
of
work
plan
items
was
approved
and
staff
did
share
that
we
would
be
incorporating
those
items
into
our
work
plan.
What
we
will
do
is
go
back
to
that
and
see
what
items
that
we're
ready
to
report
on
likely.
We
can
certainly
issue
an
info
memo
or
decide
how
best
to
inform
the
city
council
of
our
progress.
B
O
A
T
B
If
downtown
was
my
area,
I
want
to
maybe
submit
something,
so
so,
but
but
I
would
also
say
to
you
Rachel
that
I
hope
that
departments
as
you
identify
I
mean
that's
obviously
a
glaring
need,
it
seems
to
me.
I
would
hope
that
you
felt
empowered
to
say
hey.
We
actually
need
more
funding
to
provide
this
and
and
have
us
make
those
difficult
decisions
as
to
what
we're
going
to
fund
and
not
fund
and
how
we're
going
to
go
about
it.
B
Okay,
thank
you,
the
other,
the
other,
the
very
last
question.
Hopefully,
a
very
quick
question
answer:
Captain
Acosta
I
was
wondering,
like
you
said,
there's
just
some
discussions
about
the
foot
patrol
might
be
changing
the
hours
and
such
what
would
need
to
happen.
If
that
were,
if
we
did
say
we
wanted
our
own
swing
shift,
I
mean
and
I
assume.
That
would
probably
come
from
all
the
stakeholders,
Downtown
Association
and
agreement
to
say
this
is
what
we
want.
What
would
what
how
difficult
would
it
be
to
sort
of
turn
the
car?
G
Thank
you,
councilmember
Ximena,
so
a
couple
of
things
one
the
way
they
were
deployed
now
was
based
on.
As
you
know,
in
the
22-23
budget
those
positions
were
granted
to
the
police
department
for
ongoing
16
positions
right
and
and
based
on
our
recruiting
efforts.
We
haven't
gotten
to
that
level
where
we're
going
to
fund
those
positions
through
the
police
department
and
at
the
time
we
were
given
approval
through
Council
to
use
voluntary
on
overtime
basis
to
fund
those.
G
So
that's
why
I
think
based
on
number
one,
the
need
and
two
of
the
ability
to
fill
those
positions
on
a
full-time
basis
and
right
now
we're
currently
filling
around
about
80
percent.
So
I
think,
once
those
positions
are
again
are
recruited,
we're
hired
and
trained,
and
then
the
conversations
can
continue
as
to
how
we're
going
to
deploy
them
right.
So
different
strategies
in
different
divisions,
different
areas
again
based
on
need
recommendations.
Some
of
the
high
needs
areas.
G
B
B
O
No
yeah,
just
before
before
I
do
motion
I
just
wanted
to
let
blog
in
those
in
the
working
group
know
that
it's
very
important
that
we
have
vehicle
payment
or
parking
compliance,
especially
in
our
within
our
downtown.
That's
one
of
the
other
complaints,
many
complaints
that
we
get
into
District
three
illegally
Park
cars,
especially
in
metered
areas
or
double
I,
don't
know
what
they
call
it
now
and
they
double
crossed
the
pro
Park
illegally.
O
Double
parked
I,
don't
know
what
they
call.
It
nowadays
double
parked
cars.
So
that's
major
concern
in
in
our
downtown,
especially
our
downtown
residents,
but
also
if
we
want
to
make
downtown
bikeable
and
walkable.
A
lot
of
folks
are
are
parking
in
the
parking
in
the
bike
lane,
and
so
that's
super
important.
So
with
that
I
move
to
support
to
accept
this.
F
B
B
C
C
K
P
O
U
Yeah,
so
it's
the
this
is
motion
to
Simply,
accept
the
report,
so
I
don't
think
we
can
accept
additional
Direction.
I
I
would
just
ask:
are
you
talking
about
when
we
are
working
with
our
unhouse
population
and
they
get
into
the
early
coordinated
system
that
we
track
them
through?
That
process.
Is
that
your
request.
C
C
U
U
Management
information
system-
yes,
so
I
think
what
we
could
do
is
we
could
commit
to
have
Kelly
and
possibly
Reagan
Henninger
who's
in
the
audience
set
up
time
with
you
and
walk
you
through
what's
currently
there,
and
if
you
choose
to
give
additional
direction
through
rules,
we
could
certainly
be
open
to
that,
but
want
to
make
sure
that,
especially
since
many
of
you
knew
that
is
actually
a
pretty
complex
system
and
want
you
guys
to
understand
it.
So
I
would
ask
that
Reagan
and
Kelly
follow
up
with
you
offline
I.
B
Okay,
I
would
say
I
think
that's
a
good
approach,
because
you
can
always
come
to
rules
and
submit
a
memo.
I
can
tell
you
I.
Think
I
mean
I
already
have
some
concerns,
based
on
what
you're
saying
but
and
I
said,
I
think,
there's
just
a
lot
of
thinking
that
needs
to
happen
around
that
and
I
suspect.
Also
how
complex
the
system
is
that
some
of
some
of
someone's
given
this
this
thought
some
thought
in
the
past
potentially
and
so
yeah.

Afternoon,
chairperson
committee
members
and
members
of
the
public,
my
name
is
Ken
Tran
and
I
am
the
unit
Commander
for
the
San
Jose
police
department,
sexual
assaults
investigations
unit
present
with
me.
It's
our
senior
analyst
Anjali
doncenti
Lieutenant
Paul
Hamlin
from
a
research
and
development
unit
and
Captain
Jason
Dwyer
from
our
bureau
investigations.
L
Thank
you
to
committee
and
the
city
manager's
office
for
having
me
here
today
to
present
the
San
Jose
police
department's
gender-based
violence,
response
and
strategy
annual
report.
After
the
report,
myself,
Lieutenant
Tran,
Lieutenant,
Hamblin
and
Captain
Dwyer
will
be
here
to
address
any
questions.
L
Today
we
will
provide
an
update
on
the
cities
on
the
sexual
assault,
related
work
items
will
present
crime,
statistics
and
Trends
pertaining
to
cases.
Reporting
sexual
assault
then
proceed
to
provide
reports
specific
to
the
sexual
assault
investigations
unit,
which
I
will
refer
to
as
sa
IU
moving
forward.
L
Slide
4
summarizes
strategies
for
responding
to
sexual
assault
and
gender-based
violence
established
in
2020
to
execute
work
items
specific
to
San
Jose.
Since
then,
a
number
of
work
items
have
reached
completion
since
sa
IU's.
Last
annual
report
in
2022,
the
following
have
been
updated
line.
Item
1B
regarding
Department
resource
cards
for
survivors
of
sexual
assault
has
been
updated
from
in
process
to
completed
the
resource
cards
were
printed
and
officially
distributed
to
Patrol
line
item
1D
regarding
the
provision
of
sexual
assault.
L
Forensic
exams,
commonly
known
as
safes,
was
recently
added
to
reflect
an
update
to
departmental
policy
to
ensure
that
survivors
of
sexual
assault
are
afforded
the
option
of
a
safe,
regardless
of
when
the
crime
occurred.
Please
note
that
the
final
determination
of
whether
a
Survivor
receives
a
forensic
or
medical
only
exam
is
determined
by
Valley
Medical
Center.
L
L
L
In
total,
we
see
that
the
top
three
primary
offenses
often
committed
are
288-a
lewd
and
lascivious
acts
with
a
child
under
14
years
of
age,
261,
rape
and
243.4
sexual
battery.
Concerning
the
increase
in
261
rape
over
the
years.
Please
keep
in
mind
that
the
department
implemented
the
domestic
violence,
sexual
assault
and
human
trafficking
intersectionality
tool
in
January
of
2020..
L
Since
then,
SEIU
has
noticed
an
increase
in
reports
of
historical
rape,
meaning
that
when
officers
respond
to
calls
of
service
in
domestic
violence,
sexual
assault
or
human
trafficking
incidents,
the
officers
are
trained
to
ask
the
Survivor
for
from
the
intersectionality
tool.
Question
specific
to
past
sexual
assault.
L
Specifically
question
6
asks:
has
your
partner
sexually
assaulted
you
in
the
past
question
eight?
Was
this
incident
previously
reported
and
question
9?
Have
you
ever
been
sexually
assaulted
by
someone
other
than
your
partner,
and
this
incident
was
this
incident
previously
reported
in
these
cases
where
the
response
Survivor
responds
yes
and
has
not
previously
reported
the
past
sexual
assault?
This
will
generate
a
separate
case
report
regarding
the
historical
sexual
assaults.
L
Slide
8
focuses
on
primary
offenses
categorized
as
a
child
molest.
These
crimes
include
285
incest,
288,
a
lewd
and
lascivious
acts
with
a
child
under
14
years
of
age
and
647.6
A1
annoy
or
molest
of
a
minor
from
27
to
2022.
On
average,
more
incidents
were
reported
during
the
school
year
than
summer
and
winter
break
months.
L
L
L
Slide
12
breaks
down
the
ethnicity
of
survivors.
We
see
that
survivors
of
the
Hispanic
and
Latino
demographic
make
up
54.3
percent
of
survivors.
Please
keep
in
mind
that
historically,
the
Hispanic
population
of
San
Jose
has
made
up
the
majority
demographic
group
in
general.
It
isn't
until
the
most
recent
census
that
the
Asian
demographic
surpassed
the
Hispanic
demographic
now
making
up
37.5
percent
of
San
Jose
according
to
the
Census
Bureau
and
Hispanics
make
up
31
percent.
With
that
we
understand
the
concern
when
seeing
Hispanics,
making
up
the
largest
Survivor
group
demographically.
L
However,
we
also
need
to
take
into
consideration
why
survivors
of
Asian
descent
still
remain
an
underreported
population.
It
is
with.
It
is
in
the
Santa
Clara
County
Work
item
3,
which
addressed
the
Department's
ethnic-based
agency
work
plan
and
build
out
that
address
this
concern,
and
the
department
continues
to
work
with
those
community-based
agencies
specifically
serving
communities
of
Asian
descent,
to
break
down
barriers,
to
reporting
sexual
assault
and
to
eliminate
the
stigma
and
shame
that
is
felt
with
reporting.
L
Sciu
has
continually
worked
to
improve
how
we
serve
survivors
of
sexual
assault
and
remains
committed
to
investigating
cases
to
its
fullest
from
2017
and
with
the
provision
of
more
detectives
assigned
to
saiu
as
a
form
of
resource.
Seiu
has
increased
its
submission
of
cases
to
the
district
attorney's
office
by
105
percent
and
altogether
stopped
closing
out
cases
due
to
lack
of
investigative
resources
for
the
past
two
years.
L
L
Foreign
was
awarded
two
grants
in
2021
addressing
the
safe,
the
sexual
assault,
forensic
exam
backlog,
the
smaller
grants
in
the
form
of
forty
five
thousand
dollars
address
the
backlog
of
safes
received
from
2016
to
2018
to
keep
the
department
aligned
with
the
law
that
was
updated
in
2016,
requiring
that
all
safes
be
tested.
These
safes
have
already
been
submitted
as
of
last
year
to
the
Santa
Clara
County
crime
lab
for
testing
and
are
in
the
process
of
being
returned
back
as
testing
completed.
L
L
As
a
result,
the
department
submitted
a
budget
proposal
last
year
requesting
ongoing
funding
for
the
in-house
Advocate,
which
is
currently
in
phase
two
of
review.
Additionally
SEIU,
along
with
the
Special
Victims
Unit,
rely
on
one
analyst
to
supply
data
for
data
informed
decisions
and
to
coordinate
programs
specific
to
SEIU
and
SVU.
In
addition
to
the
general
tasks
and
responsibilities
of
an
analyst.
L
Moving
forward.
Seiu
will
continue
to
support
and
partner
with
the
Department's
crime
prevention
unit
to
provide
intervention
and
prevention,
intervention
and
Prevention
Services
to
communities
experiencing
higher
levels
of
abuse.
The
crime
prevention
unit
has
done
a
remarkable
job
in
going
out
to
the
communities
and
educating
citizens
regarding
how
to
report
incidents
of
sexual
assault.
The
process
in
developing
connections
and
rapport
with
the
community
so
that
citizens
feel
more
at
ease
when
reporting
to
the
police.
L
K
Standards
and
practices
in
my
youth
they've
grown
a
little
fuzzy,
and
so
this
work
is
helpful
to
me.
Thank
you
for
the
work
that
you
do.
I
think
gender-based
violence
and
overall
hate
violence.
They
may
be
a
bit
separate,
but
you
know
they
can
be.
You
know
sometimes
the
same
thing
involved.
I
think
a
lot
of
it
comes
from
people
simply
not
understanding
how
people
want
to
live
their
lives
and
kind
of
the
policies
we're
creating.
So
people
can
live
their
lives
as
they
want
to.
K
We
have
to
make
a
real,
concerted
effort
to
continue
to
make
that
clear
to
people
what
what
are
the
practices
that
people
want
to
live
their
lives
in
and
around
we
push
through
some
really
good
policies.
In
the
past
five
ten
years
we
have
to
spend
the
next
five
or
ten
years
really
clearly
explaining
those
policies
and
those
ideas.
K
I
think
those
are
the
ways
to
help
fight
Prejudice
and
to
really
address
people
who
are
just
not
understanding
why
people
have
made
the
lifestyle
choices
they
have,
and
why
is
government
allowing
those
lifestyle
choices
to
take
place?
We
have
to
learn
to
make
that
clear
and
acceptable
and
good
for
ourselves.
We
don't
know
how
to
quite
do
that
yet
Good
Luck
how
we
can
do
that
boy,
I,
really
hope
we
can
do
that
in
the
in
the
in
the
upcoming
years
and
into
we've
defined
policy.
K
C
Need
to
get
my
speaker
on
okay.
Thank
you
for
that
report.
Detail
report
one
area
of
clarification.
You
mentioned
something
about
the
sexual
assault
and
domestic
violence
in
reporting.
You
change
some
way
of
investigating
them
and,
as
a
result,
there's
some
changes
in
the
number
of
cases
being
reported.
L
Thank
you
for
the
question
council
member
so
to
clarify
that
is
with
regards
to
the
domestic
violence,
sexual
assault
and
human
trafficking
intersectionality
tool.
It
was
implemented
back
in
2020
in
order
to
capture
instances
of
either
domestic
violence,
sexual
assault
or
human
trafficking
that
may
otherwise
not
have
been
captured
prior
in
those
incidents.
So
it's
an
improvement
to
the
way
the
department
is
trying
to
serve
citizens
of
the
of
San
Jose
as
well
as
Inc.
It
will
cause
an
increase
in
reports
of
sexual
assault.
However,
that
is
what
we
are
seeing.
L
So
those
big
changes
is
that
when
we
ask
a
a
victim
or
Survivor
of
intimate
partner,
violence
in
a
domestic
violence
situation,
have
you
been
sexually
assaulted
in
the
past
and
it
has
not
been
reported
before,
and
the
answer
is
yes,
that
will
generate
a
new
report
for
us
to
investigate,
therefore,
increasing
reports
of
sexual
assault.
How,
however,
those
reports
are
of
historical
sexual
assaults
and
I
have
our
Bureau
of
Investigations
Captain,
as
well
as
to
elaborate
in
case.
C
Okay,
so
when
is
this
intersection
2
implemented?
When
is
the
first
time
we
are
seeing
an
increase
in
number
reported
because
of
the
tool
not
because
City
or
the
residents
became
more
violent
or
more
sexual
assault,
but
it's
a
matter
of
catching
up
to
the
reporting.
When
did
we
start
doing
it
so
that
we
can
interpret
the
numbers
correctly.
L
That's
a
great
question:
absolutely
we
started
seeing
it
right
away
with
the
use
in
January
of
2020,
and
so
since
that
the
increase
of
reports
have
increased
the
reports
of
sexual
assault
and
I.
Believe
you
were.
We
had
reported
that
also
in
February,
with
Lieutenant
Hamblin
at
the
last
pist,
who
addressed
that
increase
in
261
rape
in
particular,.
B
F
L
So,
based
on
historical
times
of
reports
and
measurement
of
time,
we
see
that
reporting
time
has
improved
through
prevention
and
education
efforts
and
encouraging
survivors
to
report
at
a
faster
time,
so
that
we
can
first
assess
through
a
safe
exam
of
sexual
assault,
forensic
exam
to
capture
evidence
as
well
as
gather
any
other
investigative
details
required.
We've
seen
that
change
over
time.
F
L
O
Yes,
so
thank
you
so
much
for
for
this
report.
I
think
this
is
very
important
and
I've
actually
been
in
these
in
these
conversations.
So
it's
one
it's
particularly
particularly
hard
to
see
that
our
Latino
Community
is
reporting
the
incidents
and
I
think
that's
that's
no
surprise,
because
I
know
that
we've
had
you
know:
council
members,
like
council
members,
Arenas
and
Carrasco
and
Esparza
and
other
other
Latino
elected
officials
on
on
this
board,
who
have
pushed
for
our
community
to
to
report
these
atrocities.
Unfortunately,
and
it's
it's.
O
That
it
happens
in
our
community
right,
child
molestation,
sexual
assault
of
of
our
children
under
you
know,
18.,
and
so
that's
that's
good,
to
know
very
hard
to
digest,
though,
but
very
good
to
know
that
that
Latinos
are
reporting.
However,
what
particularly
concerns
me
is
are
under
representation
of
our
of
our
Asian
and
American
Pacific
Islanders
committee
Community-
are
we
are
we
doing
like
just
like
we
did
with
the
Latino
Community?
Are
we
doing
like
a
concentrated
effort
to
make
sure
that
they
they
are
reporting
this
because
I
know
you
know
I'm
Latino?
O
J
Thank
you
for
that
questions.
The
answer
is
yes,
we
are.
We
are
working
with
our
service
providers
within
the
Asian
communities.
Right
now
it's
in
the
within
the
Vietnamese
communities.
We
are
doing
Outreach,
we
have
programs,
we
have
offices
going
on
radio,
talk,
shows
on
a
weekly
basis
to
raise
awareness,
sexual
assault,
and
we
are
working
with
a
crime
prevention
unit
going
out
to
schools
and
and
focusing
on
with
you
know,
Asian
Community,
to
raise
sexual
awareness.
O
Great,
thank
you
I
know.
You
know
this
is.
This
is
a
very
like
I
said
a
very
hard
pill
to
swallow.
You
know,
especially
in
our
in
in
our
communities
where
we
we
want
them
to
thrive.
We
want
our
our
young
women
and
young,
even
men,
right
to
to
thrive.
So
this
particularly
you
know
hard
our
topic
for
all
of
us
on
on
this
and
you
know
in
our
community.
So
you
know
thank
you
so
much
for
for
do
for
for
doing
the
work.
O
What
what
are
the
steps?
What
steps
are
taken
to
to
ensure
their
safety?
Because
I
know
that
we
don't
report
it
I
heard
it
at
the
last
piss-fizz
and
we've
been
super
busy
and
I
definitely
want
to
still
follow
up
with
our
sjpd
about
that.
Since
we
have
no
data
on
on
gender
violence
towards
our
lgbtq
and
gender
non-conforming
Community.
J
Think
of
that
questions,
I
could
tell
you
that
we
treat
all
our
survivors
equally,
regardless
of
the
sexual
identifications
or
age
or
raise.
But
what
we
do
have
is
we
do
have
an
ally
officer
program
and
what
that
is.
Is
the
officer
train
the
sensitivity
needs
of
our
lgbtq
community,
so
that
adds
a
layer
of
comfort
in
the
sexual
assault
reporting
process.
F
P
P
P
At
it,
yes,
okay,
so
you
you
double
double
what
you
could
do,
if
even
if
you
had
just
one
more
so
I'd,
ask
that
we
take
a
note
of
that,
because
I
think
that
this
is
an
area
that,
for
too
long
has
been
put
in
the
back
burner.
The
back
burner
and
I
know
that
there
are
a
lot
of
important
things
that
need
to
be
addressed,
but
certainly
if
you
only
have
one
and
you
could
have
another
one,
you
could
almost
double
what
your
Your
Capacity.
P
P
Review,
okay,
well,
I
personally
think
that's
critically
important,
because
I
think
that
this
area
as
I
say,
has
been
sort
of
in
the
back
burner
for
a
long
time
and
I
think
that
it
it
from
the
previous
reports.
It
seems
like
prog,
a
lot
of
progress
is
being
made
and
certainly
I
would
I
would
ask
consideration
for
it
being
moved
forward.
Thank
you.
F
J
Thank
you
for
thank
you
for
that
question.
I
think.
The
best
effort
that
we
can
do
is
continue
our
efforts
to
do
race
awareness
make
it
easier
for
survivors
to
come
forward
to
this
close
to
report,
and
we
can
make
improve
our
process
where
there
are
different
places
where
survivors
will
feel
more
safe,
more
comfortable
to
come
forward
and
report
and
I
think
that
would
be
the
best
effort
that
we
focus
on.
L
So
councilmember
the
multiple
languages
are
actually
offered
in
different
types
of
programs
offered
by
the
San
Jose
police
department.
First
is
called
the
Vigilant
parent
Initiative
Program,
which
was
in
the
city
of
San
Jose
work
plan.
It's
currently
in
progress
and
continues
to
be
taught
at
in
schools
in
San
Jose
to
parents
specifically
about
how
to
protect
their
children
online
from
online
dangers,
specifically
sexual
shin
and
sexual
child,
sexual
exploitation
that
can
occur
online.
L
That
program
can
be
offered
in
English,
Spanish
and
Vietnamese
the
information
cards,
the
brochures,
the
sexting
info
cards
are
provided
in
multiple
languages
to
include
English,
Spanish,
Vietnamese,
Hindi,
Korean,
Tagalog
and
Chinese.
If
I
have
everything
correct
and
then,
in
addition,
our
crime
prevention
unit
has
multiple
program
classes
that
in
which
they
have
specialist
dedicated
special
list
that
also
speak
multiple
languages,
addressing
those
communities
and
then,
in
terms
of
stalls,
you
asked
a
question
on
stalls
and
information.
The
human
trafficking
detail
had
completed
a
a
billboard
campaign
two
years
ago.
L
F
I've
seen
him
in
in
the
airport,
restroom
and
so
on,
but
many
restaurants,
we
do
a
great
program
with
the
health
department
wash
your
hands
right.
You
see
that
everywhere.
When
you've
seen
in
multiple
language
I
wonder:
can
we
piggyback
and
and
put
a
similar
things
and-
and
you
know
three
different
languages
for
women
to
report.
J
O
J
B
So
as
an
example,
if
you
look
at
the
second
line
right
below
da
submission,
says
lack
of
investigative
resources,
you
go
across
well,
actually,
let's
go
to
E
All
Leads
exhausted,
so
the
third
line,
if
you
go
across
the
2022,
it
says
451
and
then
you
go
down
you
know,
1986
is
the
total
of
all
those
so
should
I
interpret
that
1986
as
1986
cases
for
that
year
is
that
is
that
the
correct
way
of
seeing
it?
That
includes
the
whole
sort
of
column
in
2022
1986.
for.
B
Year
there
was
that
many
cases
and
then
okay
and
then
the
D.A
submissions.
It
seems
like
it's
inclusive
of
everything
right
as
the
notes
suggest
down
there
do
we
do.
We
have
just
a
rough
sense
of
how
many
cases
are
rejected
by
the
D.A
that
they
say,
hey,
there's,
not
there's
nothing
here
in
their
opinion,
right,
there's
nothing
here,
we're
not
going
to
file
I,
know
that's
inclusive
in
the
1092
for
2022,
but
do
we
have
a
census
to
how
many
those
are.
L
B
And
thank
you
I
think
everyone's
voting.
Thank
you
so
much
for
the
presentation.
We
appreciate
your
efforts.
Thank
you.
We're
going
to
move
on
to
item
D3
again
we're
we're
I
think
we're
going
a
little
slower
than
we
typically
do,
but
all
this
is
important
stuff.
So
you
know
I
totally
understand.
We
have
a
lot
of
questions
item
D3
is
fire
department
call
volume
status?
It's
going
to
be
to
accept
the
report
and
fire
department
call
volumes,
including
opportunities
to
triage
calls
for
service,
so
that
resources
can
be
maximized.
So,
chief
welcome.
T
T
The
fire
just
please
note
that,
where
it
says
increase
the
population
actually
decreased
on
the
slide,
the
fire
department
experienced
a
significant
rise
in
call
volume
in
fiscal
year.
2021-2022
this
chart
shows
our
call
volume
in
in
relation
to
the
City's
population
over
a
five-year
span.
During
that
five-year
span,
our
population
had
decreased
7.1
percent,
while
the
demand
for
emergency
response
increased
by
11.4
percent.
This
is
contrary
to
Prior
years
experience
where
call
volume
trended
corollarily
to
population
growth.
T
The
chart
presenting
on
this
slide
is
a
breakdown
of
our
call
responses
Citywide
by
Battalion.
Our
current
organizational
structure
is
designed
for
our
battalions
to
cover
geographic
regions
of
the
city.
Call
volume
is
highest
in
the
core
of
the
city
and
lowest
in
the
at
the
perimeter
or
edges.
As
you
can
see
on
this
chart
for
Battalion
one
located
in
the
central
core
of
San
Jose,
they
experienced
the
highest
call
volume
in
fiscal
year,
2021
2022
with
26
546
incidents.
T
It
is
important
to
note
that
each
call
only
represents
a
response
and
not
the
number
of
apparatus
or
Personnel
needed
to
mitigate
the
emergency.
An
example
is
a
typical
structure.
Fire
requires
nine
apparatus
to
respond
versus
a
medical
emergency.
They
would
typically
need
a
single
company
to
respond.
T
T
The
following
heat
map
depicts
the
call
volume
intensity,
ranging
from
the
lowest
in
blue
towards
the
perimeter
of
the
city
to
the
highest
intensity
in
red
at
the
core
of
the
city.
Current
station
response
area
call
volumes,
result
in
a
reduced
resource
availability
and
compromised
response
time
performance.
T
The
late
responses
is
are
indicated
by
Green
the
lowest
intensity
of
late
responses
again
towards
the
perimeter
of
the
city
to
the
highest
intensity
of
late
responses
in
Orange
at
the
core
of
the
city.
This
Mac
depicts
how
resource
drawdowns
impact
response,
time,
performance
and
AIDS
the
department
and
placement
of
new
fire
stations
to
provide
coverage
to
those
areas,
utilizing
proceeds
from
measure
T
funding.
This
will
will
result
in
the
building
and
placement
of
fire
stations,
32
and
36,
to
strengthen
Central
response
capabilities
and
improve
call
volume,
distribution.
T
The
pie
graph
shown
here
captures
the
breakdown
of
call
types
received
by
the
fire
department
in
fiscal
year
2021-2022.
We
noticed
no
significant
increase
in
the
proportion
of
medical
call
volume
compared
to
other
call
types
year
over
year,
as
we
closely
monitored
this
since
December
2020.
Due
to
the
spike
in
covid-19
cases,
each
call
type
was
within
one
to
two
percent
of
the
prior
Year's
call
distribution
with
a
slight
increase
in
fire
incidents
and
decrease
in
false
alarms,
false
calls
and
medical
emergencies.
T
This
graph
compares
the
volume
of
EMS
responses
to
the
other
calls
for
service
within
the
fire
department.
The
department
experienced
a
10
and
a
half
percent
increase
in
EMS
calls
from
fiscal
year,
2021
2022
from
fiscal
year,
2020
to
2021.
and
a
15.5
percent
increase
in
all
other
types.
In
that
same
period,
the
department
is
continuing
to
identify
drivers
of
the
increased
EMS
activity
in
this
period.
T
T
As
shown
in
this
chart
in
fiscal
year,
2021
2022,
52
percent
of
our
EMS
calls
were
for
patients
60
and
over
in
66,
for
patients
50
and
over
fire
dispatch
will
continue
to
utilize
the
best
Resources
by
triaging.
The
9-1-1
calls
with
medical
priority
dispatch
systems
which
allow
the
dispatcher
to
use
a
set
of
questions
based
on
the
medical
complaint.
T
In
conclusion,
the
department
will
continue
to
monitor
call
volume
and
to
identify
areas
to
improve
response
and
service
to
the
city
of
San
Jose
I
want
to
thank
you.
Thank
the
committee
for
your
continued
support
to
the
fire
department
and
our
ability
to
deliver
services
to
the
city
of
San
Jose.
The
fire
chief
and
I
are
available
for
any
questions
from
the
committee.
Thank
you
thank.
B
F
V
Thank
you,
council,
member
for
the
question.
We
do
not
have
a
full
Year's
data,
which
is
what
we
would
pull
for
for
the
information.
However,
we
did
model
the
response
area
prior
to
opening
the
station.
We
did
estimate
that
it
would
be
somewhere
between
2
800
to
3
000
calls
annually
we're
waiting
for
a
full
year
to
see
if
that's
confirmed,.
V
This
plan
is
related
to
the
prioritization
of
stations
that
are
funded
by
measure
t
as
you're
aware,
council
member.
That
initiative
enabled
us
to
schedule
projects
that
included
fire
station,
37,
32
and
36
as
new
fire
stations,
and
to
replace
existing
structures
which
include
stations,
8
and
23..
In
addition,
working
with
Council,
particularly
on
response
time
challenges,
station
20
was
altered
to
include
a
landside
bay
and
an
additional
response
area
in
the
city,
I
think
going
forward.
V
The
strategies
will
have
to
be
the
same,
ongoing
analysis
of
response
time
performance,
identifying
service
area
gaps
which
we
do
have
as
we
articulated
previously
in
our
station
prioritization.
There
are
other
gaps
that
won't
be
met
by
measure
T
projects.
The
the
plan
for
the
Department
is
to
renew
its
area
of
of,
or
standards
of
cover
analysis,
so
that
we
can
come
back
to
council
and
share
what
those
gaps
are.
F
V
V
In
other
words,
we
identified
areas
that
were
suffering
worse
service
than
the
area
served
by
station
33,
and
that's
why
we
prioritized
opening
of
either
new
companies
or
restoration
of
companies
to
those
areas,
one
consideration
for
station
33
over
time.
Certainly
it
has
been
significantly
developed
since
we
closed
it
and
there
are
far
more
residents
there.
However,
there
will
be
a
road
built
down
to
access
Curtner,
which
I
think
will
make
it
a
more
viable
service
area
and
help
with
the
general
the
the
area
response
times
as
well.
F
I
understand
that
and
and
again
the
the
residents
up
there
in
communication
Hill
is
is
highly
upset
that
we
staff
news
station
and
I
understand
the
fact
that
the
Dynamic
deployments
and
so
on,
but
it
doesn't
take
away
the
fact
that
it's
station
33
communication
Hill,
is
a
pretty
hard
to
reach
area
and
not
to
have
some
type
of
Staffing
up
there.
It's
it's
not
serving
the
the
residents.
F
C
V
Thank
you,
council,
member
and,
as
I'm
sure
you
see
in
the
work
plan,
we
do
report
in
the
fall
on
our
staffing
levels
and
recruitment
activities.
However,
I
can
tell
you
that
we
have
specific
Focus
today
on
the
paramedic
shortage.
As
I
know,
you
are
aware
the
when
lockdown
occurred
in
March
of
2020,
the
department
made
a
decision
to
continue
its
internal
training
of
firefighters,
because
we
thought
there
might
be
a
problem
with
attrition
and
not
having
enough
staff.
V
However,
what
was
not
anticipated-
and
this
is
now
a
national
issue-
is
that
education
facilities,
particularly
those
requiring
internships
and
clinical
components,
were
stopped,
and
so
so
right
now
my
peers
across
the
state
are
all
struggling
through
the
same
issue
in
the
fire
department.
We
have
I
would
say
four
principal
strategies
to
address
your
question.
One
is
we
have
initiated
lateral,
paramedic,
hiring,
meaning
we're
hiring
firefighters
who
work
in
other
departments
who
are
paramedics.
V
Secondly,
we
are
activating
our
bench.
If
you
will,
we
have
quite
a
few
paramedics
who
are
not
practicing
in
the
department
and
so
we're
employing
them
to
help
give
some
relief
to
our
Frontline
paramedics
and
then
finally,
we
are
engaging
regionally
to
see
if
we
can't
stand
up
paramedic
schools
here
in
the
county
that
will
serve
us
not
only
for
the
immediate
need,
but
but
long
term
as
well.
V
V
O
We
do
know
that,
obviously,
that
61
of
the
calls
are
medical,
and
so
you
answered
some
of
it,
but
looking
forward
to
further
discussion
on
on
retaining
paramedics
and
hiring
more
paramedics,
I
think
I
have
been
really
adamant
on
on
letting
our
human
resources
department,
know
or
Jennifer
know
that
when
we,
you
know
when
she,
when
we
continue
to
talk
about
hiring
and
retaining
and
the
three
critical
departments
in
our
city
that
we
need
to
add
fire
and
paramedics.
So
that's
you
know
very,
very
important.
O
F
C
Thank
you
for
the
report.
Your
emphasis
on
chief
and
the
very
first
slide
is
about
the
population
increase
and
then
the
call
volume
increase
on
the
EMS
side.
Okay,
do
you
have
any
more
to
comment
on
that?
One
in
terms
of
is
it
the
population
increase?
Is
it
the
senior
population?
Is
the
junior
population
or
the
childhood
or
what
is
any
further
granularity
on
it?.
V
Over
many
years,
10
15
20
years
of
analysis
that
we
that
we've
looked
at
there
seems
to
be
a
very
clear
corollary
between
population
increase
and
increasing
call
volume.
As
we've
exited
covid,
it
seems
like
we
seem
to
be
in
a
in
a
different
place.
I
don't
have
the
data
to
say
that
it
is
exactly
coveted
related,
although
it
does
appear
that
there
has
been
some
impact.
V
We
have
been
beginning
to
evaluate
some
issues
and
we've
confirmed
with
our
ambulance
provider
that
it
part
of
the
challenge
could
be
that
ambulance
companies
are
no
longer
serving
inter-facility
transports,
which
means
those
facilities
opt
for
other
ways
to
get
their
patients
to
the
hospital,
and
that
can
be
the
911
system.
We
have
been
in
conversations
with
with
American
Medical
Response
about
that
issue,
also
we're
looking
to
advance
a
public
education
campaign
as
well.
V
We
think
that
it
could
be
a
maintenance
issue,
in
other
words,
reminding
our
residents
on
when
to
call
9-1-1
and
I
think.
Ultimately,
the
lesson
is
that
we
are
in
many
ways
the
safety
net
for
the
community
for
for
almost
all
services
and
when
someone
needs
help
and
doesn't
have
an
access
point
to
assistance,
9-1-1
becomes
the
system
that
that
is
used
and,
and
we
become
the
responders
I-
think
it's
a
combination
of
many
factors
and
and
I
think
those
are
some
of
them.
O
Daughter,
no
Captain
I
don't
want
to
demote.
You
Chief,
so
you
just
touched
up
on
on
the
PSA,
so
I
think
we
need
to
take
it
a
step.
Further
I've
I've
noticed
that
when
I'm
on
the
passenger
side
of
my
best
friend's
ride
that
people
don't
pull
over
anymore
and
I've
literally
told
my
my
friend,
the
person
I'm
traveling
with
I,
said
those
are
sirens
and
I've
been
literally
told.
Oh,
we
still
do
that.
I'm
like
yes,
of
course,
we
still
do
that.
I
mean
what
like
I'm
a
council
member.
O
V
Thank
you
councilmember.
We
do
currently
do
intermittent
PSAs
via
social
media,
with
graphics,
on
pull
to
the
right
so
that
we
can
and
we
try
to
do
them
in
multiple
languages.
It
is
a
challenge
that
that
has
I
think
increased
in
the
last
decade
or
so,
but
certainly
your
point
is
well
taken
that
that
continued
education
on
that
front.
We
have
done
some
Regional
work
as
well,
particularly
with
with
Santa
Clara
County
Fire
Department,
where
we've
shared
resources
to
to
push
that
messaging.
V
But
I
do
think
there
is
ongoing
education
that
can
benefit
us
in
the
way
of
of
making
sure
that
people
are
are
calling
9-1-1
when
they
need
to
certainly
the
the
traffic
law,
education
and
and
many
other
fire
prevention
and
Public
Safety
messages,
and
we
we
do
actively
try
to
frequence
them,
but
certainly
we
can.
We
can
emphasize
some
as
well.
B
Thank
you
very
much.
I
I
just
had
one
question
before
we
vote
it.
You
know
on
slide
four,
where
obviously
we
have
an
aging
population,
so
I'm
going
to
State
how
that
relates
to
slide
forward
my
question,
so
we
have
an
aging
population,
and
so
what
I'm
curious
about
is?
Is
there
a
way
to
Overlay
where
that
aging
population
is
how
it
translates
as
to
what
Battalion
is
it's
going
to
affect
most
dude?
Have
you
looked
at
that
data.
V
I
I
think
I'm
going
to
start
I'm
going
to
answer
by
saying.
I
have
not
accessed
that
particular
data
point.
However,
I
have
played
a
little
bit
with
our
budgeting
for
Equity
tools
that
are
now
available
to
us
to
see
what
kind
of
demographics
we
can
pull.
Certainly,
we
can
do
it
another
way
through
the
backside
of
our
patient
contact
records,
Where
We
Gather.
Some
of
that
information
as.
B
Well
and
that's
curious
right,
yeah,
so
so
the
the
impact
would
be
dramatic
right
if
Battalion,
one
or
Battalion
2,
which
has
the
most
calls
for
sort
of
the
response
area
right,
has
the
greatest
need
and
then
that's
where
the
population
is
increasing.
I
mean
it's
going
to
get
hit
hard
right
and
so
trying
to
think
about
that.
I
just
wanted
to.
V
B
B
Unanimous
vote.
Thank
you
so
much
sir.
We're
going
to
move
on
to
our
last
item.

report.
W
The
portfolio

project
management
office
was
created
to
mature
the
city's
ability
in
managing
it
projects.
The
focus
or

resulted
in
achieving
74
percent

success
rate
in
2022,
a
great
Improvement
compared
to
the

the
department
established
an
improvement,
a
performance

Regarding
the
2019
audit.
R
Thank
you
Khalid
good
afternoon,
chairperson
Jimenez
committee
members
and
members
of
the
public.
My
name
is
Jim
bursig
I'm,
the
new
assistant
CIO,
and
it's
truly
a
pleasure
to
join
the
San
Jose
team.
The
2019
technology
deployment
audit
helped
Define
the
information
technology
Department's
role
by
assessing
the
project
management
effectiveness
of
high

On
this
slide,
we
are
highlighting
some
of
our
major
projects
and
their
statuses.
A
few
to
point
out
vehicle
blight
management
system
and
sj311
accessibility
are
experiencing
some
delays
due
to
limited
resources
and
some
delays
in
in
the
design
process.
But
it
is
being
actively
mitigated
and,
as
you
can
see,
the
rest
of
the
projects
on
the
slide
are
on
track
or
they're.
Just
starting
out.
N
On
this
slide,
you
will
see
our
recently
completed
projects.
We've
completed
a
total
of
eight
projects.
A
few
projects
to
highlight
on
this
list,
the
affordable
housing
portal
or
project
doorway
gives
prospective
tenants
the
ability
to
find
and
apply
for
affordable
housing
in
one
Central
system.
Hybrid
work
environment
are
the
TVs
and
telecoms.
You
see
on
each
floor
in
City,
Hall
and
3-1-1
dashboard,
where
we
are
now
tracking
performance,
metrics
I'll
now
hand
it
over
to
Colin
for
a
deeper
dive
in
the
3-1-1
performance
dashboard.
W
Thank
you
Shirley.
They
recently
updated
San
Jose
311
dashboard,
improves
the
visual
presentation
of
data
and
allows
viewers
to
analyze
how
services
are
requested
by
district
and
service
type.
The
dashboard
provides
the
option
to
customize
the
information
based
on
service
type
service,
location,
impacted
district
and
date
range.
W
The
dashboard
was
also
updated
last
week
to
incorporate
the
customer
satisfaction
rate
by
service
type
data
and
District.
Currently,
the
city's
overall
customer
satisfaction
rate
is
at
64
percent
and
the
goal
is
to
achieve
80
percent.
Several
projects
and
initiatives
are
currently
underway
to
help
improve
customer
service
and
achieve
a
higher
customer
satisfaction
rate.
Surely
we'll
discuss
the
IT
project
dashboard
next.
N
Thanks
Colin,
here's
our
dashboard
on
all
key
technology
projects.
This
is
a
high
level
dashboard,
showing
key
metrics
such
as
project
status,
budget,
completion
date
and
more.
It
is
available
publicly
on
our
it
website
and
it
is
fully
interactive,
so
any
metric
can
be
toggled
for
different
analysis
and
insight.
N
This
is
the
second
dashboard
that
complements
the
first
one
in
the
previous
slide.
It
is
a
more
in-depth
view
of
project
details.
It
includes
description
and
not
only
overall
status
like
the
previous
slide,
but
status
is
drilled
down
further
by
different
components
such
as
schedule,
scope
and
budget.
This
is
also
interactive.
Users
can
drill
down
by
the
filters
on
the
left
and
again,
this
is
publicly
accessible
on
our
it
City
website
and
I'll
hand
it
over
to
call
it.
W
Establishing
the
portfolio
products
and
project
management
office
proved
to
Be
an
Effective
in
advancing
the
city's
ability
to
implement
Innovative
projects
successfully.
The
programs
continue
to
mature
and
Advance,
as
we
enhance
project
management
processes
and
tools.
As
we
continue
to
expand
our
investment
in
developing
the
team
and
enhancing
processes,
we
will
also
invest
in
sharing
our
experience
with
other
departments
to
maximize
the
benefits
and
establish
consistency
when
managing
I.T
projects.
W
K
It's
not
just
a
small,
isolated
thing.
It's
a
way
to
really
build
many
parts
of
our
community
in
our
future,
and
it
sounds
like
it
is:
taking
advantage
of
that
and
learning
how
to
use
that,
and
when
you
do,
you
have
more
choices
available
to
yourselves
how
to
more
creatively.
Think
of
issues,
which
is
what
we
really
need
and
to
think
of
issues
in
terms
of
civil
rights
and
civil
protection
ideas,
openness,
accountability,
communication
with
the
public
more.
Those
are
great
skills
to
know
how
to
have,
and
just
to
thank
you.
K
It
is
taking
advantage
of
that.
That's
that's
going
to
create
better
practices
within
what
they're
doing
and
thanks
a
lot.
Hopefully
one
more
thing
to
add
a
good
reminder
for
new
Council
persons
to
really
check
out
what
what
they
are
doing
internally
in
government
with
these
sort
of
items
and
how
open
accountability
practices
are
of
help
to
them
and
how
that
that
process
can
grow.
Thank
you.
C
Thank
you
very
much
for
this
ID
report
and
hearing
that
the
project
management
has
improved
the
delivery
of
the
projects
and
more
completions
in
time
and
the
one
question
I
have
for
you
is
you
have
some
projects
marked
as
action
needed
and
the
other
ones
are
marked
as
mitigating?
Could
you
explain
that
what
is
in
the
action
needed
category
versus
what
is
mitigating.
R
Sure,
thank
you
for
the
question
council
member.
If,
if
we're
mitigating,
that
means
that
there
may
be
actions
that
we
are
perceived
may
happen
or
are
preparing
for
that
may
never
happen
that
are
preparing
for.
If
action
is
occurring,
that
means
we're
actively
taking
action
on
a
project
to
ensure
that
it
gets
back
on
track.
C
R
C
R
C
So
it's
great
to
see
that
you
have
put
all
your
I.T
projects
in
line
with
the
Enterprise
priorities,
which
is
good
to
see
that
where
we
are
able
to
focus
and
all
that,
so
this
is
a
very,
very
good
representation
of
the
work.
Otherwise,
if
you
just
present
your
I.T
projects,
it
doesn't
give
you
a
balance
of
where
one
is
going.
So
I
think
this
is
a
great
presentation
in
that
regard
and
thank
you
very
much
for
putting
it
together
that
way
and
I
will
make
the
motion
to
accept
the
report.
Second,.
F
C
B
B
Cool
well,
thank
you
very
much
for
the
presentation
appreciate
your
time
and
I'm.
Sorry
that
you
had
to
wait
a
little
while
we
were
asked
a
lot
of
questions
today.
So
thank
you.
Have
a
nice
day
we're
going
to
go
ahead
and
move
to
open
Forum.

we
have
any
speakers
in
person
or
online
that
want
to
make
solids

Blair
hi
we're
Beekman
here,
congratulations:
council
person
MNS
for
becoming
chair
epis.
Oh,
you
did
good
on
his
first
day,
I'm.
Sorry
that
my
public
comments
maybe
may
have
been
off
a
bit.
You
guys
had
very
serious
subject
matter
on
the
on
to
deal
with
gender
violence
issues,
I
offered
to
an
approach
that
hopefully
can
be
helpful,
but
it
was
a
really
heavy
issue.
K
K
This
week
boy,
it's
been
a
really
tough
week
with
the
Silicon
Valley
Bank
things,
and
but
congratulations
to
the
mayor
for
his
efforts
and
asking
for
help
and
better
ways
to
work,
and
so
just
a
good
luck
to
ourselves
how
we
can
do
well
in
this
upcoming
year
and
to
really
continue
a
road
towards
a
positive
openness.
Thank
you.
