Hey
terrific,
thank
you
so
much
for
being
here.
Everyone
welcome
to
our
first
meeting
of
the
san
jose
redistricting
commission
2021.
My
name
is
therese
alvarado
really
happy
to
be
here
this
evening
to
work
with
you
all.
You
know
redistricting
and
we
are
live
just
so.
You
know
via
civic
center
tv
and
the
web
and
various
other
distribution
channels.
C
But
redistricting
is
the
regular
process
of
adjusting
the
lines
of
voting
districts
to
account
for
population
shifts,
whether
it
be
in
a
city,
county
or
federal
legislative
district.
This
means
redrawing
district
lines
every
10
years,
following
the
decennial
census,
to
meet
strict
requirements
for
population
equality
and
voting
rights
protections
in
san
jose.
C
C
This
process
has
real
consequences
for
the
representation
of
our
residents
throughout
san
jose,
and
that
is
who
we
represent
here
on
this
advisory
commission:
the
people
of
san
jose.
This
is
intended
to
be
a
community-led
process
and
we
will
do
our
best
to
be
for
it
to
be
a
community
engaged
one
as
well.
C
As
we
begin
this
meeting,
I
would
like
to
ask
all
commissioners
to
introduce
themselves
maybe
share
your
name,
the
neighborhood
you
live
in
and
let
us
know
if
you've
ever
served
on.
Another
city.
Commission,
then
think
of
one
word
to
describe
how
you're
feeling
about
this
process
then
take
a
minute
to
describe
why
you
picked
that
word
when
you're
done,
please
select
the
next
person.
C
C
So
the
rest
of
us
are
commissioners,
but
I
will
try
to
keep
track
of
it
on
our
behalf
as
well.
So
you'll
you'll
pick
the
next
person
who
will
then
introduce
themselves
and
share.
So
let
me
start
first,
just
as
an
example
hi
good
evening.
My
name
is
teresa
alvarado,
I'm
a
native
of
san
jose
and
I
live
in
the
little
portugal
neighborhood.
C
My
one
word
is
appreciation
because
I'm
certain
that
all
of
you,
commissioners
have
many
other
things
and
people
who
you
could
be
dedicating
your
time
to,
but
you've
agreed
to
step
up
to
this
important
responsibility
and
serve
our
city.
So
I
appreciate
you
and
I
am
confident
that
we're
going
to
do
good
work
together.
G
Good
evening,
everyone,
my
name,
is
jonathan.
I
live
in
the
west
gate
area
of
san
jos
in
west
san
jose
from
both
california,
but
I
also
consider
louisiana
as
my
spiritual
home
as
well.
I
have
not
served
on
a
city
commission
before
I'm,
not
that
cool.
I
haven't
had
that
chance
before
yet
I
currently
am
a
student
at
san
jose
state
for
a
master's
degree,
and
I
guess
my
one
word
would
be
service.
G
H
B
B
F
He
did
not
yes
good
evening,
everybody.
My
name
is
andrew
dittlebson,
I'm
a
lawyer
with
hopkins
and
carly
here
in
san
jose.
I
live
in
district
six
in
the
north
willow
glen
neighborhood.
I
do
have
some
prior
experience.
I
served
one
term
as
an
appeals
hearing,
commissioner,
and
then
I
had
a
failed
bid
for
the
planning
commission
this
last
year.
F
I
E
Hi
I'm
bj
fadam.
I
grew
up
in
san
jose.
I
am
in
the
cambrian
area,
I'm
also
a
lawyer
in
san
jose.
I
have,
I
don't
think
it.
I
don't
know
if
it's
yeah,
it
is
considered
part
of
the
city.
I
have
been
a
member
of
the
independent
police
auditor's
advisory
commission
now
for
a
little
over
10
years,
first
appointed
by
ledoras,
cordell
and
I've
remained
on
throughout
the
years.
E
I
I
C
A
Thank
you,
sylvia
hi
everybody.
My
name
is
daisy.
I'm
downtown
district.
Three
I've
been
in
san
jose
for
about
eight
years.
I
went
to
san
jose
state
and
I'm
I've
never
served
on
a
board
or
commission
for
the
city.
So
my
word's
excited,
I'm
excited
to
you,
know,
learn
some
new
stuff
to
be
working
with
you
guys.
Of
course,
you
work
for
my
community
as
well.
A
A
Hi,
my
name
is
caitlin.
I
am
the
district
for
representative
from
variesa
and
my
word,
and
also
I
am
currently
serving
on
the
youth
commission
and
my
word
is
community.
I'm
very
excited
for
all
the
community
engagement.
We
are
going
to
be
doing
during
this
whole
redistricting
process.
I
don't
know
about
all
of
you,
but
I
think
I
felt
a
lot
of
isolation
during
this
quarantine,
so
I'm
glad
that
we'll
be
able
to
interact
with
everyone
in
our
community.
C
Great
point,
fantastic:
that
is
everyone
I
believe.
Did
we
miss
anyone?
I
think
that's
all
of
the
commissioners.
Thank
you
so
much
that
was
terrific
to
hear
a
little
bit
about
you
to
hear
your
words.
I
heard
appreciative
service,
invigorated,
commitment,
opportunist,
I'm
sorry,
optimistic,
passionate
opportunities,
excited
representation
and
community,
and
I
love
those
words.
I
think
they
really
reflect
well
on
the
work
that
we're
going
to
be
doing
together.
D
D
D
Okay,
so
you're
you're
legis
a
body
created
by
the
legislative
body
of
the
city.
So
therefore
the
brown
act
applies
to
you.
The
is
a
state
law.
It
applies
to
any
legislative
body
decision
making
or
advisory
and
includes
boards
commissions
and
even
subcommittees
in
san
jose.
A
legislative
body
is
anybody
created
by
the
city
council
or
by
city
charter.
D
The
brown
act
requires
that
all
of
you,
from
all
of
your
commission
meetings,
are
open
and
public
and
members
have
to
discuss
and
act
on
the
public's
business
openly
this
the
public
to
be
informed
and
participate
in
the
decisions
and
actions
of
their
local
government.
The
exceptions
to
this
rule
are
few
and
very
narrowly
construed.
D
But
what
is
a
meeting
a
meeting
is
when
a
majority
of
the
commissioners
are
present
at
the
same
time
and
place
to
hear,
discuss,
deliberate
or
take
action
on
something
that
is
within
the
commission's
subject
matter:
jurisdiction
emphasize
this.
No
action
has
to
be
taken
in
order
for
it
to
be
considered
a
meeting,
a
hearing,
discussion
or
deliberation
triggers
brown
act
open
meeting
requirements.
D
D
A
majority
of
commissioners
can
attend
social
or
ceremonial
occasions,
conferences
and
community
forums
and
meetings
of
other
government
bodies,
as
long
as
they
do
not
discuss
business
that
would
come
before
their
commission,
so
you
can
all
attend
council
meetings
and
county
board
meetings.
Just
don't
hang
out
and
talk
about
the
commission
business
while
you're
there,
when
you're
at
a
social
function,
keep
the
topic
of
conversation
away
from
commission
business
under
the
brown
act.
There
are
prohibited
meetings.
D
D
A
brown
act
violation
occurred
because,
even
though
each
communication
involves
less
than
a
majority
of
members
overall,
it
involves
contact
among
the
majority
of
members
and
in
this
case
april
didn't
even
know
she
was
violating
the
brown
act.
Another
neither
did
person
neither
did
chris.
Chris
didn't
know
bill
knew
but
april
and
chris
got
got
involved
without
their
knowledge.
D
Another
example
is
the
hub
and
spoke
so
april
asks
bill
and
daphne
individually
how
they
are
going
to
vote.
This
is
a
brown
act
violation
because
april
knows
how
bill
and
daphne
are
going
to
vote
along
with
her
own
vote
and
email
reply
to
all.
Don't
do
it.
It's
too
easy
easy
to
accidentally
have
a
brown
act.
Violation
brown
act
violation
does
not
require
intent.
D
D
D
D
D
Yep,
even
adding
a
simple
and
possible
action
would
allow
the
public
to
know
that
something
beyond
a
mere
discussion
is
happening.
Ideally,
we'd
want
a
more
specific
recommendation,
as
we
do
with
the
city
council
agendas,
but
this
is
adequate
for
a
lot
of
the
items
discussed
at
the
commission
level.
D
The
commission
should
not
discuss
items
that
are
not
posted
on
the
agenda
going
back
to
the
template.
Just
I
want
to
say
a
lot
you're
going
to
see.
We
use
that
template
and
like
public
hearing
is
on
your
agenda
tonight,
but
there's
nothing
underneath
it
so
you'll
see
some
headings
that
are
always
there,
but
if
things
underneath
it,
it
means
we
basically
are
just
skipping
that
item
so
going
back
to
this
this
slide,
the
commission
should
not
discuss
items
that
are
not
on
the
posted
agenda.
D
The
commission
should
also
not
take
action
if
the
item
has
not
been
agendized
for
action
or
possible
action.
Commissioners
can't
comment
on
certain
unagendized
items
as
long
as
there
is
no
discussion
or
action
such
as
briefly
responding
to
public
comment,
asking
questions
for
clarification,
referring
an
item
to
staff
for
or
a
future
meeting
a
brief
report
by
commissioner
on
his
or
her
activities
and
brief
announcements.
D
Public
comment
is
when
you
let
the
public
comment
on
something
that
is
within
the
commission.
Subject
matter
jurisdiction,
there's
two
different
kinds
of
public
comment:
first,
is
for
an
agenda
item
like
approval
of
the
work
plan
after
hearing
staff's
presentation,
but
before
you
take
a
vote,
there's
an
opportunity
for
the
public
to
comment.
The
second
is
the
public
comment
section
of
the
agenda.
This
is
when
you
allow
the
general
public
to
comment
on
items
that
are
not
agendized.
A
D
What
can
you
do
with
public
comments
raised
during
an
open
forum?
The
commission
can
respond
to
issues
raised
during
public
comments
that
are
not
on
the
agenda
by
referring
the
speaker
to
staff,
referring
the
speaker
to
appropriate
reference
materials
requesting
the
staff
report
back
at
a
future
meeting
or
direct
staff
to
place
the
matter
on
a
future
agenda.
This
is
not
the
time
to
debate
the
public
speaker
or
engage
in
a
question
and
answer
period.
If
the
speaker
requests
you
to
respond
to
questions
the
chair
may
say.
D
So
this
is
a
chart
showing
the
difference
between
the
brown
act,
which
is
state
law
versus
the
city
sunshine
resolution.
Basically,
the
city
sunshine
rules
are
stricter
than
the
state
law.
The
key
rules
is
we
post
our
agenda
seven
calendar
days
before
the
meeting.
The
staff
reports
have
to
be
posted
with
the
agenda.
If
there
are
staff
reports,
action
minutes
are
required
and
draft
minutes
need
to
be
posted
within
10
days
after
the
meeting.
D
D
We're
going
to
talk
briefly
about
political
reform
act.
The
political
reform
act
is
state
law
about
conflicts
of
interest.
It
prohibits
you
from
making
participating
in
making
or
in
any
way,
attempting
to
use
your
official
position
to
influence
a
governmental
decision
in
which
you
know
or
have
reason
to
know
you
have
a
financial
interest.
D
The
definition
of
a
decision
includes
making
or
attempting
to
influence
this
decision.
Should
you
assume
that
all
of
your
commission's
actions
will
will
qualify?
The
definition
of
financial
interest
includes
sources
of
your
family
income,
gifts,
business
entities,
real
property
and
your
family's
personal
finances.
D
D
If
you
have
a
real
property
interest
of
2000
or
more,
you
could
have
a
conflict
of
interest.
If
the
commission
decision
affects
the
property,
we're
not
going
to
go
over
that
too
much
because
the
attorney's
office
will
help,
if
you
think
you
have
any
of
these
and
I'm
going
to
stop
sharing,
because
I
think
the
other
slides
are
going
to
click
through
them.
Real
quick
in
case
there's
another
one
that
you
should
see,
but
I
think
that's
about
it.
D
D
Don't
you
know
like
I'm
used
to
it?
I've
been
in
the
public
industry
public
sector
for
so
long.
I
even
kind
of
treat
my
personal
emails
like
that.
I'm
just
used
to
it
so
just
know
that
your
emails
to
me
to
other
staff
people
and
to
each
other
are
all
subject
to
the
public
records
act
and
any
questions.
C
D
J
Great,
thank
you.
Hi
yeah,
I'm
a
person
learning
how
to
be
a
part
of
the
community
experience,
and
so
I've
been
attending
city
council
meetings
for
a
few
years
now
talking
about
better
open
public
policies
with
technology
that
can
help
create
a
community
future
and
democracy.
That's
really
interesting
and
peaceful
and
sustainable
and
really
good
ideas.
J
I
you
know
I
I
got
the
feeling
that
some
felt
that
those
brown
act
ideas
were
being
used
mainly
by
the
there
was
kind
of
two
sides
in
the
beginning
of
this,
with
the
mayor's
side
and
and
this
the
east
east
side
side
that
you
know
they're
a
bit
opposing
how
to
create
the
rules
and
structuring
for
the
redistricting
committee,
I
felt
the
sa
the
sag
brown
act.
Rules
offered
a
way
to
both
sides
of
this
issue
of
redistricting
issues.
J
Could
you
know
just
have
something
to
work
off
of
and
and
that
could
be
fair
to
to
how
to
get
this
process
going.
So
thanks
for
these
explanation
of
the
brown
act,
rules
here
and
yeah,
I'm
for
the
ideas
of
openness
and
how
the
voice
of
the
everyday
public
can
have
a
really
important
part
in
in
deciding
and
working
towards
our
future,
and
that
that
to
me
are
the
keys,
and
there
is
a
ways
that
we
can
do
that
now
that
we
haven't
been
able
to
do
in
the
past.
So.
C
A
C
B
B
C
J
Yeah
hi:
this
is
a
time
that
I
usually
always
speak
and
I'm
always
ready
to
speak,
and
I
think
I
basically
have
gone
over
in
my
previous
public
comment.
Kind
of
my
main
points
that
I
hope
that
you
can
be
thinking
about
and
working
towards
in
your
committee
process
in
this
commission
process,
and
I
guess
for
myself-
that's
about
all
for
now
and
just
a
really
good
luck
to
yourselves
and
good
thinking
and
open-minded
thinking.
Thank
you.
C
D
D
D
I
thought
you
might
want
to
at
least
see
the
person
talking
to
you,
so
we
were
thinking
monthly
meetings
on
a
monday,
so
the
next
the
next
meeting
monday
we
have
would
be
next
monday.
So
that's
too
soon,
and
then
I
have
march
15th.
So
we
have
the
first
and
third
mondays
of
the
month
available
for
a
monthly
meeting,
and
this
is
because,
because
I
need
to
work
around
all
the
other
meetings
that
we've
got
scheduled
mondays
are
open
and
then
some
thursdays
are
open.
C
D
So
we've
got
a
consultant
coming
up
we're
coming
we're
working
on
the
contract
with
the
consultant,
the
vendor's
already
been
selected,
the
vendor's
redistricting
partners.
If
you
want
to
look
them
up
so
he's
he
or
she
whoever's
assigned
to
us,
they'll,
be
providing
training
to
you
guys.
So
we're
we're
going
to
have
a
bunch
of
special
meetings
as
they
provide
training
to
you
and
then
we'll
have
special
public
hearings
to
do
communities
of
interest.
D
So
thinking
of
neighborhoods
that
I
know
the
name
of
like
willow
glenn,
you
wouldn't
want
to
split
it
because
that's
a
community
of
interest
and
you'll
need
you.
Don't
all
you
won't
all
know
all
the
neighborhoods
in
the
city
of
san
jose,
especially
considering
how
large
the
city
is.
So
that's
what
all
those
public
hearings
are
for
and
the
the
redistricting
partners
are
going
to
help
us
with
that
they'll
train
you
they're,
going
to
help
us
get
those
public
hearings
going.

A

And
specifically,
the
first
and
third
mondays
are
available,
so
we
could
choose
what
works
best
for
us,
at
least
for
the
next
few
months.
We
may
choose
a
more
frequent
schedule
later,
but
to
get
us
going
once
we,
you
know
we'll,
have
a
training
with
the
consultant
and
start
to
devise
a
work
plan
together.

Thanks
so
just
as
my
personal
own
situation,
I
would
prefer
thursday's
mondays
are
a
very
difficult
time
for
me,
since
I
am
a
student
right
now
and
I
am
technically
on
mondays
in
class
between
4
30
and
10
30
at
night,
so
skipping
class,
potentially
one
once
a
month
or
twice
a
month
all
the
way
through
the
end
of
may.
It
doesn't
sound
all
that
appealing
to
me.
If
that's
something
that
everyone
can't
get
around,
then
I
I
will
work
personally
with
with
you
miss
tabor
or
or
anyone
else.
G
C
E
No,
I
was
just
gonna
say
I'm
okay
with
either
I'll
make
either
one
work.
I
was
just
going
to
say
since
we're
already
like
on
the
fourth
monday.
It
makes
sense
that
if
we're
gonna
do
monday
would
be
the
third
monday,
but
then,
if
we're
gonna
do
thursdays,
I
don't
know
which
thursdays
are
available
but
because
you
said
it
would
be
too
soon
to
try
and
go
first
monday
in
march
yeah.
H
D
I'm
actually
gonna
have
to
get
back
to
you
guys
on
that,
because
I
need
to
see
what
we
what
we
have
going
different
commissions,
okay
and
then
I
also
need
to
work
with
craig.
Who
is
our
tv
guy
and
he's
he's
watching
you
guys
right
now.
I
need
to
work
with
his
schedule
as
well,
so
we
need
to
because
he
he
doesn't
just
do
us.
He
does
all
sorts
of
meetings
for
the
city,
so
I'll
need
to
work
with
him
to
to
figure
out
the
thursday
schedule
and
then
I'll
email.
A
C
C
D
C
I
I
I
listened
to
the
the
that
the
naleo
presentation
on
the
redistricting
and
apparently
there's
gonna
have
to
be
an
adjustment,
because
there
is
a
deadline
that
needs
to
go
before
the
legislature,
so
we
may
not
have
120
days.
That's
where
I
understand
it
because
of
the
fact
that
they
have
to
have
a
certain.
The
map
has
to
be
presented
to
the
bigger
commission
and
they
have
to
submit
it
for
their
committee.
So
I
I
don't
think
we'll
have
a
full
120
days.
I
C
We're
all
going
to
have
to
be
flexible
and,
as
tony
said,
the
good
thing
is
that
we
have
several
months
before
we
get
the
data.
At
least.
We
know
that
much
to
do
our
outreach
start
to
engage
with
the
consultants
start
to
look
at
communities
of
interest
and
neighborhoods
in
our
community
and
and
then
once
we
get
the
data,
then
work
on
maps
and
outreach
and
whatnot.
C
C
Fantastic
great
glad
to
have
you
here,
someone:
okay!
Are
there
any
other
comments,
because
we
know
that
our
city
clerk
is
going
to
have
to
go
back.
Look
at
all
the
other
commissions
that
the
city
has
and
look
at
their
schedule
and
come
back
to
us,
preferably
with
a
thursday
date
in
the
evening,
starting
at
6
p.m,
starting
in
march.
