I
didn't
really
have
anything
to
to
talk
about
other
than
the
process
of
that
we're
going
to
have
the
final
maps.
We
have
the
community
map
people
here
to
present
any
changes
they
have.
We
have
the
the
unity
map
people
here
to
present
the
changes
they
submitted
on
sunday
and
then
you
guys
had
no
changes
on
the
d4
map,
so
we
have
no
changes
on
the
commission
map
to
highlight.
G
B
C
C
So
why
don't
we
proceed
that
way?
Tony,
let's
have
the
presentations
first
and-
and
I
believe
at
the
last
meeting
there
was
a
motion
to
limit
the
community
presentations
to
five
minutes
on
these
two
maps,
and
then
that
was
confirmed
this
morning
by
the
clerk's
office
that
the
motion
was
made
seconded
and
passed.
G
H
H
Okay,
so
we
were
able
to
submit
a
final
map
from
the
unity
mapping
table
again.
This
is
on
behalf
of
the
naacp,
the
asian
law
alliance,
latino
leadership
alliance,
the
la
raza
roundtable
to
california,
south
bay,
labor
council
in
silicon
valley,
rising
action.
You
know
in
our
final
map
you'll
see
that
it's,
the
lowest
deviation
map
presented
to
you.
So
it's
the
best
map
in
terms
of
keeping
to
the
the
essential
district
redistricting
principle
of
one
person,
one
vote.
H
We
still
retain
much
of
the
same
structure
of
the
previous
maps
we
submitted,
but
this
is
what
it
looks
like
you
saw
it
in
the
packet,
but
I'll
go
through
the
individual
changes.
So
we
discussed
this
last
time,
but
we
hadn't
actually
uploaded
the
map
itself.
I
don't
think
the
redistricting
partners
had
gotten
to
do
the
full
work
up
of
the
changes.
H
We
didn't
understand
the
the
lines
that
the
quarry
neighborhood
neighborhood
association,
considers.
Their
lines
are
different
than
what
the
city
has
as
the
lines
of
their
neighborhood
district
3
is
retaining
the
tamiya
neighborhood
in
that
southwest
corner
of
the
the
old
district.
Three
gartner
and
delvis
park
are
moving
into
district
six
again
for
compactness.
We
heard
some
questions
about
hey
the
map
kind
of
dips.
In
so
for
compactness
purposes,
and
for
bringing
the
daredin
area
neighborhood
groups
fully
into
one
district.
We
moved
that
into
district
six.
H
H
H
H
We
were
able,
in
the
lines
of
drawing
district
six
in
district
nine
able
to
keep
the
majority
of
the
lgbtq
plus
residents
equality.
California
had
noted
in
their
community
of
interest,
testimony
and
the
key
landmarks
of
the
lgbtq
plus
community
in
san
jose,
and
I
believe
there
may
be
someone
testifying
from
that
civil
rights
organization
in
support
of
the
map.
H
H
Willa
glenn
has
always
been
in
two
districts
and
we're
simply
the
different
maps
on
the
table
have
different
lines
for
where
that
split
occurs,
waterford
park
and
some
of
the
neighboring
communities
we
added
back
to
district
two
for
compactness
issues,
so
I
wanted
to
just
before
we
had
a
comparison
table.
I
wanted
to
share
an
update
on
that
comparison
table
with
the
three
maps
before
you.
H
H
I
can
send
put
the
grab
the
figure
here
in
a
second,
if
folks
are
interested
in
seeing
it
for
the
latinx
population,
but
you
know
again
a
consideration.
Also,
we've
heard
concerns
about
compactness.
We
were
able
to
take
the
shape
file
for
the
community
map
for
our
map
and
look
at
the
common
measures
of
compactness,
the
alternate
schwartzwerk,
the
the
rio
and
the
poly
popser.
H
I
I
Next
slide:
tanya,
yes,
did
you
took
it
of
all
the
three
maps
being
considered?
Our
map
adheres
closest
to
existing
communities
and
council
lines.
It
has
the
smallest
number
of
san
jose
residents
moved
between
districts.
Our
community
map
moves
approximately
43
000
people,
which
is
four
percent
of
the
san
jose,
while
the
unity
map
moves
approximately
160
000
people
between
districts,
four
times
more
than
the
community
map,
and
we
have
the
lowest
overall
demographic
change
per
district
next
slide.
I
I
I
I
The
duradon
area
and
dallas
were
included
in
downtown.
The
population
increase
in
district
9
came
from
moving
canoas
garden
and
farmer
vino
into
district
9
and
district
10
communication.
Part
of
communication
hell
was
moved
into
district
10..
Other
changes
were
made
to
maintain
continuity,
such
as
alum,
rock
and
ramblewood
willowvale
was
adjusted
to
houston
and
the
portugal
business
district
was
corrected
to
include
the
businesses
along
santa
clara
street
next
slide.
I
The
following
three
slides
show
a
comparison
of
the
proposed
changes
and
demographics
for
all
three
maps.
This
slide
shows
the
increase
or
decrease
in
asian
latinx
white
and
black
for
each
district
across
the
bottom
are
the
10
district
lines.
The
overall
spread
for
the
community
map
is
4.9
percent,
but
district
5
having
the
largest
change,
increased
2.6
asian
and
decreased
2.2
latinx
next
slide.
I
The
unity
map
has
an
overall
spread
of
13
percent.
The
largest
change
is
in
district
6,
where
the
white
population
has
been
reduced
by
7.5
percent,
and
the
latinx
population
was
increased
by
4.1,
making
district
6
no
longer
a
white
majority
district.
Also,
in
district
3,
the
asian
population
increased
by
5.5
and
white
decreased
by
3.3
district
2
latinx
increased
by
2.4
white
decreased
by
3.
in
district
9
and
10.
The
white
population
was
increased
by
approximately
four
percent
in
each
district,
which
increases
the
already
white
majority
in
the
dis
those
districts.
I
The
community
map
has
distinct
differences
from
both
of
the
other
maps
and
it
has
the
lowest
amount
of
demographic
changes
and
minimizes
disruption
to
existing
boundaries.
We
request
that
the
community
map
be
included
in
the
recommendation
to
the
city
council,
so
they
can
review
it
for
themselves.
Thank
you.
C
C
So
at
this
point
jacob,
I
I
think
there
were.
There
were
some
questions
that
that
were
presented
to
you
at
the
beginning
of
the
meeting
by
the
clerk's
office
about
the
legality
of
at
least
on
their
face,
and
maybe
this
is
something
that
the
city
attorney
can
also
talk
about,
but
at
least
on
their
face
and
and
by
you
know,
given
the
information
that
we
currently
know,
you
know,
what
would
we
be
able
to
proceed
in
consideration
of
all
three
of
these
maps
tonight?.
F
F
F
They
all
appear
to
result
in
a
a
roughly
equal
number
of
what
we
would
consider
vra
protected
seats.
They
consider
they
appear
to
consider
most
metrics
that
we
would
take
into
account.
They
are
all
coming
from
different
positions
and
approaches
to
the
process,
but
they
they
don't
appear
to
violate
any
of
the
traditional
principles
that
we
we
hold.
So
I
hope
that
somewhat
answers
the
question
without
giving
you
legal
opinion,
which
of
course
is
something
we
can't
do,
but
that
council
can
potentially
and
hopefully
speak
to
for
you.
C
J
No,
I
think,
that's
that's
a
fair
description.
You
know
the
city
attorney's
office
is
evaluating
all
the
maps
and
will
provide
its
advice
on
on
various
issues
with
that
each
map
may
pose
the
voting
rights
act
is,
is
a
fact
intensive
or
can
be
a
fact
intensive
inquiry,
and
we
are
looking
at
those
issues
to
respond
to
the
question
that
was
raised
last
week.
I
want
to.
I
want
to
do
that
regarding
whether
or
not
the
entire
map
can
be
invalidated.
J
As
I
mentioned,
we're
we
are
evaluating
it.
The
city
council
has
final,
say
and
approval
of
these
maps
and
and
that
type
of
advice
and
council
will
be
provided
to
them.
But
as
I
mentioned
in
the
past,
there's
nothing
about
these
maps.
That
gives
any
any
pause
to
say.
Full
stop!
Don't
approve
this
map,
but
again,
as
I
mentioned,
that
that
counsel
and
advice
will
be
provided
to
city
council
at
the
appropriate
time.
C
G
Okay,
I
currently
have
the
numbers
rising.
I
currently
have
13,
but
the
number
is
rapidly
rising.
So
when
I,
when
the
number
settles
I'll
re-announce
how
many
hands
we
have
up,
we
have
a
total
of
140
attendees
in
the
meeting.
Our
first
speaker
is
winifred
cooper
and
a
two
minute
or
one
minute,
timer.
G
K
The
santa
clara
county
restricting
unity
map
and
the
san
jose
unity
map
provides
just
that
it
just
it
disturbs
me
greatly
that
we
see
the
same
disturbing
tenancies
in
santa
clara
county
and
in
san
jose
that
are
tearing
our
great
country
and
states
apart.
Please
look
through
an
objective
lens
and
base
your
decisions
to
benefit
the
people
that
actually
live
in
this
space
in
this
city
and
not
people
with
interest
that
I
don't
even
live
here.
Thank
you.
B
My
name
is
paul
soto,
I'm
from
the
horseshoe
and
d11
was
the
designation
for
the
horseshoe.
These
maps
are
illegitimate.
They
are
illegal.
Royal
glenn
is
exercising
power
that
it
derived
from
creating
the
redlining
map
in
the
first
place.
How
dare
they?
How
dare
that
district
even
think
that
there
is
any
legitimacy
to
any
input
that
they
have
here
when
the
redlining
maps
and
the
racist
policies
that
reverberated
throughout
generations?
B
I'm
part
of
that
from
these
redlining
maps
stem
with
segregation
from
that
segregation,
they
beat
mexican
kids
on
the
east
side
for
speaking
spanish
in
the
schools,
and
you
think
that
that
can't
that
that's
not
going
to
be
a
tone
for
that
that
doesn't
need
to
be
reckoned
with
and
reconciled.
What
kind
of
human
beings
are
you?
B
These
maps
are
illegitimate
unless
the
redlining
map
is
centered
front
and
center,
and
then
we're
going
to
talk
about
equity
and
then
we're
going
to
talk
about
what
it
means
to
be
a
human
being
and
acknowledge
the
inhumanity
by
which
we
profited
from
the
inhumanity
that
we
were
treated
with
in
sausage.
It's
sitting
in
it.
G
L
Vice
president
sorry,
so
we
this
is
a
message
on
behalf
of
the
the
board
we're
we
are
neighbors
in
the
greater
washington
area,
which
consists
of
the
was
what,
while
they
live,
the
washington
damien
and
goodyear
mastic
neighborhoods
in
district
three.
These
areas
are
beautiful
and
culturally
significant
to
our
latino
community.
L
M
B
It's
a
power
grab,
it's
a
power.
The
city
county
state
run
by
democrats
just
wanting
more
and
more
power.
It's
all
fueled
by
this
monster.
They
called
sue
ellenberg
she's,
the
one
man
she's
gunning,
she's
gunning.
For
this
right
I
mean
and
she's
evil
she
wants
to
hold.
She
wants
to
gerrymander
this
thing,
so
it
looks
like
a
pitchfork
think
about
that.
Keep
it
the
same.
We
don't
need
any
more
people
on
the
payroll
in
the
city
of
san
jose.
We
don't
need
to
be
redistricting.
It's
a
power
grab
plain
and
simple.
B
D
No
one
is
talking
about
that
in
my
opinion,
and
I
just
wish
that
I
had
more
information.
I
am
not
against
any
changes
really.
I
I
want
to
stay
in
district
10.
right
now.
They've
got
us
going
into
district
2.,
I'm
a
part
of
san
jose,
I'm
gonna,
I'm
gonna
work
with
anyone.
I
need
to
work
with
I'm
happy
about
that.
B
Hi,
can
you
hear
me
yes,
okay?
Well,
I
my
my
family
has
been
live
here
in
the
valley
about
36
years
and
I've
looked
at
the
unity
map.
It
does
not
represent
the
vietnamese
community
and
I
want
to
be
represented
with
the
the
community
map,
not
the
unity
map,
so
I
highly
recommend
that
the
community
map
should
be
presented
and
recommended
to
the
city
council.
B
Yes,
perfect.
Thank
you
good
evening,
chair
and
commissioners.
My
name
is
nathan
olsh,
the
director
of
policy
and
operations
at
the
san
jose
downtown
association.
We
serve
and
represent
over
1800
business
and
property
leaders,
majority
being
small
business
owners.
We
want
to
thank
you,
commissioners,
redistributing
partners,
dedicating
several
long,
long
nights.
This
important
topic
I
like
to
begin
by
mentioning
that
there
is
a
need
to
keep
downtown
peabody
and
bid
districts
intact,
along
with
our
neighborhoods
from
schneider
myself
presented
a
map
a
few
weeks
ago,
followed
by
the
community
map.
B
Excuse
me
referencing
several
reasons
to
keep
downtown
neighborhoods
together
after
undergoing
numerous
improvements
from
community
feedback,
we'd
like
to
provide
profound
support
for
the
well-thought
out
and
diligent
work
that
was
committed
for
community
map
5.0.
This
map
does
a
great
job:
balancing
population,
demographics
and
neighborhood
cohesiveness
that
responded
to
the
communities
from
many
different
council
districts.
Ultimately,
this
keeps
everything
intact.
B
N
G
N
N
I
think
cheryl
made
good
points
and
saying
that
this
map
adheres
closest
to
the
existing
communities
and
in
council
district
lines,
and
it's
the
it's
the
smallest
number
of
san
jose
residents
to
move
between
the
districts,
and
it
also
has
the
lowest
overall
demographic
changes
per
district.
So
I
just
want
to
once
again
voice
my
support
for
cheryl
and
the
group
and
all
the
hard
work
that
they
did
on
that
map.
N
B
O
Yes,
this
is
doris
libsy.
I've
been
a
san
jose
resident.
Can
you
hear
me
yes,
for
I've
been
a
san
jose
resident
for
over
50
years,
I'm
requesting
that
you
forward
the
community
map.
Although
it
has
some
flaws,
it
does
represent
the
districts
the
best
without
being
too
political,
but
there
are
several
district
divisions
such
as
downtown,
that
are
drastic
changes
in
the
uni
unity
map,
and
so,
therefore,
the
community
map
represents
the
population
and
the
demographics
the
best.
Thank
you.
O
Commissioners
for
your
time
and
effort,
so
I
do
not
envy
you.
I
would
like
to
emphasize
to
my
personal
and
the
support
of
my
family,
for
the
community
map
requests
that
this
map
be
forwarded
to
the
council.
The
map
was
developed
by
unpaid,
volunteer
community
members
with
the
goals
of
maintaining
existing
district
boundaries
as
much
as
possible,
with
input
from
neighborhoods
throughout
san
jose
as
well.
They
demonstrated
that
they're
moving
the
least
amount
of
people.
I
also
want
to
comment.
I
do
not
understand
what
was
being
done
in
d2
in
d10.
O
G
B
I
also
want
to
urge
you
to
adapt
the
community
map.
It
was
very
obvious
from
today's
presentation
that
it
moves
the
least
number
of
people
into
new
districts,
and
that
should
be
the
goal
as
opposed
to
that.
The
unity
map
seems
to
maximize
moving
people
into
new
districts,
which
seems
to
be
an
effort
to
rejigger
the
political
landscape
in
the
city.
I
strongly
urge
you
to
adopt
a
community
map.
My
wife
and
I
have
been
residents
of
this
city
for
32
years,
and
the
community
map
is
the
fairest
of
the
maps
being
presented
here
today.
B
Make
no
mistakes
we're
all
here
for
the
same
reasons
we
love
and
we
care
about
community.
We
want
to
protect
it
and
I
support
the
unity
map
because
that's
what
it
does
to
my
community?
Okay,
yes,
it's
different,
but
different
is
good.
Okay
change
is
good.
I
understand
that
some
people,
when
other
people
rises,
some
people
get
spooked,
don't
worry,
be
happy
as
part
of
evolution.
See
times
are
not
like
before
we're,
not
gonna
stay
silent
any
longer.
B
Okay,
a
great
man
said
you
cannot
uneducate
the
person
who
has
long
had
to
read
and
you
can
now
humiliate
the
person
who
feels
pride.
You
can
now
oppress
the
people
who
are
not
afraid
any
longer.
Okay,
take
that
she
said
we're
not
going
nowhere.
Change
is
coming
okay,
you
like
it
or
not,
and
you
guys
better
pass
the
unity
map
to
the
seating.

Hello,
can
you
help
me?
Okay,
my
name
is
wei
liu.
I
am
asian
american.
I'm
an
immigrant
have
been
living
in
san
jose
for
more
than
20
years.
When
I
live
in
san
jose
downtown.
I
support
the
community
map
and
are
strongly
against
the
unity
map
and
d4
map,
and
I
think
they
are.
They
do
not
better
represent
the
interest
of
the
people
in
our
district,
and
I
suggest
a
community
map
should
be
recommended
to
the
city
council.
Thank
you.
H
Good
evening,
commissioners,
my
name
is
david
beaney,
I'm
the
executive
director
of
the
santa
clara
and
san
benito
county's
building
and
construction
trades
council,
I'm
speaking
today
for
our
35
000
members,
many
of
whom
live
and
work
in
san
jose.
Our
council
is
in
strong
support
of
the
unity
map.
This
map
will
unravel
the
gerrymandering
of
earlier
generations.
H
It's
going
to
rebalance
our
city
council
districts
for
better
representation.
The
unity
map
was
drawn
by
the
civil
rights
groups
and
the
cultural
organizations
that
we
look
to
for
recommendations
on
equity.
Now
is
not
the
time
to
ignore
these
voices.
The
fate
of
our
communities
for
the
next
10
years
and
beyond
depends
on
our
attention
to
these
voices.
Now
I
urge
you
to
support
equity
of
representation
based
on
our
population
of
today.
I
urge
you
to
support
the
unity
map
and
not
try
to
keep
yesterday's
district.
Thank
you.
M
M
D
Hello,
can
you
hear
me?
Yes,
hello,
thank
you.
My
name
is
melissa
gottlopez
and
I'm
the
president
of
the
mount
pleasant,
neighborhood
association
in
district
five,
just
calling
to
tell
or
to
say
to
the
commissioners
and
to
the
city
clerk.
Thank
you
for
your
work
in
this
process.
I'm
certain
it's
been
arduous
and
I.
G
D
K
K
B
Good
evening,
commissioners,
I
would
like
to
voice
my
strong
support
for
the
community
map.
It
is
the
map
that
comes
from
the
community
from
our
citizens,
unlike
the
unity
map,
which
is
clearly
the
product
of
a
number
of
special
interest
groups
with
goals
and
objectives.
That,
in
my
opinion,
are
not
consistent
with
what
is
supposed
to
be
happening
for
redistricting.
Q
B
N
When
I
first
heard
the
term
unity
map,
I
was
intrigued,
then,
when
I
noticed
the
backing
of
the
various
renowned
civil
rights
group
groups,
I
was
even
more
interested
upon
further
investigation.
I
saw
phrases
like
voter
suppression,
redlining
segregation
and
righting
the
wrongs
of
the
past.
I
took
pause
looking
deeper.
I
do
not
see
any
consensus
achieved,
and
actually
none
of
this
is
in
the
charter
for
the
redistricting
commission,
especially
as
a
primary
goal.
N
At
the
different
commission
meetings,
I
started
noticing
the
other
maps
being
adjusted
based
on
boundaries
and
community
of
interest
input,
while
the
unity
map
remained
virtually
untouched.
Even
though
there's
been
an
outpouring
of
community
testimony,
the
very
small
vendome
neighborhood
has
strongly
voiced
concerns
about
the
splitting
of
the
downtown
core
and
especially
about
being
carved
out
from
the
downtown.
N
O
Yes,
hi,
I
live
in
the
d3,
my
whole
life.
I've
lived
here,
my
whole
life
and
I
love
my
neighborhood.
I
love
the
van
dome
and
japan,
town
of
which
I'm
extremely
involved.
Therefore,
I
support
the
community
map
which
keeps
us
together
and
it's
what
the
unity
map
does
without
destroying
our
communities.
The
community
map
uses
legal
and
natural
boundaries.
O
The
unity
map
is
anything
but
legal
and
natural
and
would
take
away
all
the
healthy
efforts
ever
achieved
to
keep
d3
and
all
of
downtown
working
in
unison
to
make
neighborhoods
safer,
greener,
healthier
and,
I
believe,
without
the
community
map,
d3
will
fall
apart,
which
it
seems
that
is
the
goal
of
the
unity
map.
The
community
map
will
represent
everyone
and
keep
us
cohesive.
Thank
you.
So
much.
B
Good
evening,
members
of
the
board,
thank
you
for
all
your
hard
work,
I'm
here
to
speak
in
support
of
the
unity
map
and
vote
and
speak
against
the
community
map.
The
community
map
would
reduce
the
voice
of
land,
land
x,
blacks
and
asian
voters
by
two
point:
two
point:
three
percent
per
district
compared
to
the
unity
map,
while
also
increasing
the
voice
of
white
homeowners
in
areas
like
willow,
glen,
central
san
jose,
by
pushing
out
thousands
of
diverse
renter
families
from
district
six.
So
please,
please
move
the
unity
map
forward.
D
G
G
G
H
H
Quickly,
where
on
the
east
coast,
redlining
is
better
understood,
I
signed
it
as
a
social
justice
and
environmental
justice
to
my
students
to
develop
projects
to
I
look
at
social,
the
the
situation
of
their
own
communities
and
I'm
always
impressed
by
the
student's
ability
to
point
out
things
that
are
very
obvious
to
them,
but
are
not
necessarily
known
to
to
anybody
who
is
looking
at
the
community.
So
again,
please
follow
the
unity
map.
B
O
B
B
B
K
B
D
Am
I
back
okay,
thank
you
hi.
My
name
is
melissa.
I'm
a
resident
of
g7,
I'm
raising
my
son
here.
We
hope
to
have
many
years
in
san
jose
and
I'm
calling
in
support
of
the
unity
map,
and
I
just
want
to
point
out
that
the
unity
map
has
the
it
has
the
lowest
deviation
of
any
maps,
which
means
it's
ensuring
more
equal
representation
for
all
of
us
here
in
san
jose.
It
does
promote
fairness.
It
shows
that
communities
of
interest
like
ethnic
coalitions,
have
an
equal
vote
in
their
district.
D
It
conforms
to
the
fair
maps
act
and
the
california
voting
rights
act.
It
does
also
empower
the
black
community,
which
has
already
been
devastated
by
displacement,
so
the
unity
map
makes
the
most
sense.
It
remains
compact,
easy
to
identify
whole
districts
and
I'm
in
support
from
d7
of
the
unity
map
for
my
family
going
forward.
Thank
you.
R
R
Our
diversity
here
there's
been
many
many
problems.
Our
community
has
come
together
to
work
as
a
community
with
all
the
different
voices
that
we
have
and
to
break
it
up
would
be
ridiculous
at
this
point,
so
I
completely
support
the
community
map.
I
believe,
breaking
up
communities
that
have
worked
together
to
make
things
better
for
all
of
the
residents
should
not
be
split.
O
O
Hello,
I'm
a
district
1
resident.
Currently
I've
lived
in
d3
and
d6.
I've
not
participated
in
drawing
any
maps.
However,
I'm
very
concerned
that
I
am
hearing
so
many
comments
about
the
community
map,
maintaining
the
status
quo
and
I
respectfully
submit
that
that
should
be
a
red
flag,
a
big
red
flag,
san
jose
has
changed
and
my
priority
is
on
equity.
O
B
I'm
a
lifelong
san
jose
resident.
I
grew
up
in
district
3,
where
my
family
still
lives.
I
currently
live
in
district
2,
edenvale
neighborhood,
I'm
here
to
speak
in
favor
of
the
unity
map.
We
need
a
map
that
promotes
fairness
and
sure
ensures
that
ethnic
coalitions
have
an
equal
vote.
The
cost
of
rents
and
costs
of
rents
and
residential
displacement
has
already
caused
us
to
lose
a
large
number
of
latino
families
in
our
city.
The
unity
map
is
the
only
map
to
mitigate
this
trend.
The
unity
map
promotes
fairness
and
keeps
our
communities
whole.
B
G
G
K
K
N
N
Have
you
noticed
that
nobody
who
supports
unity
map
has
improved
the
motives
of
the
folks
supporting
the
community
maps,
there's
no
political
motivation
whatsoever.
Anybody
who
doesn't
understand
that
san
jose
has
history
of
redlining
needs
to
read.
A
couple
of
books
have
been
written
on
that
subject:
the
d4
and
the
community
maps
to
maintain
those
redline
districts.
N
B
B
I
am
here
to
support
the
unity
mac,
the
unity
map.
We
strongly
urge
the
city
council
to
to
pass
the
uni
map.
The
bottom
line
is
this:
that
if
the
community
map
moves
forward
that
maintains
the
status
quo
and
gives
additional
or
or
maintains
privilege
for
the
higher
income
areas
of
san
jose,
then
you're
disenfranchising,
the
the
the
middle
class
working
class
and
low-income
areas
of
the
city
and
aries
have
been
historically
disenfranchised.
B
Hello,
I'm
tobin
gilman,
I'm
a
board
member
of
the
district
10
leadership
coalition
and
president
of
the
greystone
park,
neighborhood
association,
and
I'm
calling
to
urge
the
commission
to
advance
the
community
map.
I
want
to
complement
ms
lebeau
and
the
team
that
worked
on
this.
It
truly
is
a
community
effort,
as
opposed
to
a
special
interest
group
project.
I
strongly
urge
you
to
reject
the
unity
map.
It's
clearly
politically
motivated
and
as
a
district
10
resident
is
absolutely
unacceptable.
Thank
you.
G
B
Hey
this
is
richard
shaw:
I'm
an
asian
american,
I'm
also
a
long
time,
san
jose
district
residents
who
live
in
the
d3
and
currently
live
in
d10,
and
I
really
strongly
urge
the
city
council
to
forward
a
community
map
who
is
currently
support,
all
the
community
and
I'm
really
be
blessed
to
stand
up
with
the
current
community
as
well.
So
I
think
you
know
that's
the
best
map
to
make
the
best
interesting
for
some
of
these
residents.
I
really
urge
the
city
council
is
also
passed.
The
community
map
asked
to
protect
the
community
as
well.
R
Hi
good
afternoon
my
name
is
araceli
rueda.
I
was
born
and
raised
in
san
jose
the
seventh
trees
area,
and
I
am
in
strong
support
of
the
unity
map.
I
want
to
start
off
by
saying
that
labor
is
not
a
special
interest
group.
The
only
interest
that
we
do
have
is
to
ensure
that
everyone's
voice
is
being
heard
appropriately
and
to
make
sure
that
black
and
brown
folks
are
being
represented
and
have
the
same.
R
Equal
voting,
access
and
resources
that
folks
in
the
upper
middle
upper
class
communities
have
and
the
unity
map
ensures
that
there
is
proper
representation
all
across
the
board,
no
matter
your
economic
status
or
your
background,
and
I
strongly
urge
the
council
to
to
support
the
the
unity
map.
Thank
you.
B

you.

you

Neighborhood
association.
The
community
map
5.0,
seems
to
accomplish
making
adjustments
with
the
least
disruption
to
our
communities.
At
a
time
of
much
chaos
and
uncertainty
and
political
upheaval,
it
seems
even
more
important
to
keep
life
as
cohesive
as
possible.
O

Speaking
on
behalf
of
the
greater
washington
area,
which
includes
guadalupe,
washington,
tamian
and
good
germastic,
I
am
speaking
against
not
only
separating
our
three
communities,
but
also
against
moving
us
out
of
district
three.
Our
communities
work
together
on
issues
that
are
unique
to
our
three
communities,
such
as
prostitution,
gang
activity,
food
and
housing,
resources
for
the
neediest
residents
in
san
jose
separating
us
will
dilute
our
collective
efforts
and
will
undermine
the
progress
that
we
have
made
together
over
the
years.
O
N
All
right,
blair
beekman
here
we
have
these
maps
at
this
time.
I
hope
in
the
next
10
years
we
can
better
consider
east
west
ideas
of
how
to
draw
maps
and
that
can
better
address
the
redlining
issues
that
are
very
old.
The
maps
are
pretty
much
lining
up
the
same
at
this
time.
I
feel-
and
I
still
like
the
community
maps
a
bit
better-
the
unity
maps,
the
people
of
them
give
good
guidelines
how
to
work
the
community
maps.
N
R
Hello,
can
you
hear
me?
Yes,
hi?
My
name
is
marisela
tapia.
I
am
a
lifelong
resident
of
san
jose.
I
was
born
and
raised
here,
and
my
parents
and
grandparents
helped
to
build
the
city
I
as
as
workers,
farm
workers,
factory
workers,
cannery
workers
and
infrastructure
workers,
I'm
here
today
in
support
of
the
unity
map.
This
is
the
most
democratic
map
that
is
currently
being
considered.
R
It
has
the
least
amount
of
voter
suppression
and
provides
adequate
representation
to
the
largest
constituency
group
in
san
jose,
which
is
the
latinos,
but
also
elevates
the
voice
of
asians
and
black
people.
If
san
jose
really
truly
does
care
about
racial
equity,
it
will
forward
the
the
unity
map
for
consideration
to
the
city
council.
Everyone
here
saying
that
the
unity
map
is
quote,
unquote,
political.
What
are
they
doing
on
this
call
if,
if
they
are
not
also
advocating
for
their
own
political
interests,
when
people
say
that.
K
Hi,
my
name
is
zen,
I'm
asian
american
and
immigrant.
Here
too,
I
don't
understand
why
people
saying
when
you
support
a
unity
mat,
meaning
that
you
hate
american.
I
don't
understand
that
I'm
here
to
support
a
unity
map.
Having
visited
to
the
you
know
santa
clara
county
during
this
period,
I
can
deeply
feel
the
imbalance
of
a
resident
living
environment
residents
are
artificially
divided
into
different
regions,
which
is
not
in
line
with
the
concept
of
equality.
This
is
just
another
way
of
shutting
out
and
keeping
the
in
minority
silence.
K
Residents
in
the
area
have
the
right
to
enjoy
the
same
living
environment
as
well
as
we
have
equal
opportunity
to
vote
without
being
overlooked,
so
the
exit
existing
division
are
obviously
unequal.
The
gap
between
the
region
to
poor
is
obviously
between
regions
and
even
the
gap
and
relative
independence
between
regions
appear.
If
we
allow
the
current
community
map
to
be
implemented,
it
will
cause
a
more
unbalanced
society
ruled
over
by
the
privilege.
Unfortunately,
it
is
heartbreaking
to
see
it.
Thank
you
so
much
for
all
of
your
time.

The
community
map
takes
the
current
district
map
and
makes
changes
on
based
on
population
and
community
input,
while
keeping
neighborhoods
and
established
communities
together.
The
unity
map
doesn't
achieve
this
balance
for
everyone
at
best
stretches
the
redistricting
guidelines
and
is
actually
divisive.
N
N
Hi,
I
strongly
urge
the
commission
to
recommend
the
community
map
to
the
city
council,
recognizing
its
extensive
volunteer,
grassroots
efforts
to
preserve
communities
of
interest
and
keep
districts
compact,
contiguous
and
manageable.
This
will
enable
our
city
council
to
provide
the
best
services
for
all
residents.
N
I
strongly
oppose
the
unity
map
because
it
would
severely
complicate
the
development
of
urban
villages
along
boston
hill
road,
I'm
going
to
expressway
to
highway
85,
which
I
needed
to
provide
housing
for
low-income
residents.
It
would
also
severely
complicate
managing
the
highly
congested
elementary
expressway
corridor
from
boston
hill
to
branham.
N
It
would
do
this
by
injecting
a
narrow
arm
of
district
2
between
district
9
and
10,
requiring
three
council
offices
to
work
together
on
super
complicated
issues
and
giantly
attend
a
huge
number
of
community
meetings,
potentially
risking
brown
act
issues,
as
you
saw
when
creating
the
d4
map.
It's
really
hard
to
address
all
the
detailed
map
issues
across
the
city.
The
community
map
folks
did
that
for
you
and
it
produced
an
excellent
map.
Thank
you.
B
B
Could
you
hear
me?
Okay?
Yes,
yes,
thank
you!
I'm
john
turner,
president
of
the
daigli
park,
campus
community
association
of
6
000
members
strong,
and
I
want
to
voice
my
support,
personal
support
for
the
community
map
for
all
the
reasons
that
has
been
pointed
out
by
very
thoughtful
people
who
have
also
supported
this
map
and
reject
the
unity
map.
B
K
Yes,
hi
did
what
I
heard
tonight
talking
about
equity
as
well
as
the
voice
being
her.
I
couldn't
help
but
feel
pity
for
the
vietnamese
community
with
over
a
hundred
thousand
population
strong,
and
we
still
don't
have
a
voice
or
a
representation
in
the
city
of
san
jose.
So
my
name
is
nancy
avila,
I'm
a
and
president
for
the
vietnamese
american
chamber
of
commerce.
I
am
calling
to
support
for
the
community
map.
K
O
Hi,
yes,
thank
you
for
allowing
me
to
speak.
My
name
is
brenda
doman,
I'm
a
district
10
leadership
coalition
board
member
and
resident
of
san
jose
for
over
26
years
we
favor
the
community
map.
It
was
put
forth
by
community
members
city-wide
real
residents
who
live
in
san
jose
and
vote
for
our
city
council
to
represent
us.
O
N
Hi
good
evening,
members
of
the
council,
members
of
the
public,
thank
you
for
all
the
work
that
you've
been
doing
these
past
few
weeks
months
to
bring
us
all
together.
My
name
is
ben.
I
am
a
lifelong
san
jose
resident
brought
up
in
districts.
Two
four
and
eight
grew
up
in
the
silver
creek
area,
and
I
just
want
to
say
that
I
strongly
support
and
urge
the
council
to
support
the
unity
map
because
it
not
only
keeps
our
neighborhoods
whole.
N
It
keeps
every
neighborhood
whole.
It
strong
strengthens
the
voice
of
the
vietnamese
community
in
evergreen,
as
well
as
silver
creek,
and
I
think
that
changing
response
to
some
comments
about
changing
the
least
amount
of
people
that
only
maintains
a
status
quo
that
has
kept
asian
americans
out
of
office.
Currently
council
does
not
have
an
asian
american
seat,
so
I
think
the
best
way
to
rectify
that
is
through
the
supporting
the
unity
map.
Thank
you.
K
Yes,
thank
you
so
much
for
letting
me
talk.
I'm
a
san
jose
resident
district
1,
I'm
immigration,
immigrant
asian
immigrant.
I
am
strongly
supported
community
map
during
this
turbulence
term.
Please
keep
our
community
map
in
tech.
Please
oppose
any
special
interest.
Try
to
divide
this
beautiful
san
jose
community.
Thank
you
so
much.
R
R
This
change
would
effectively
make
the
nor
the
quarry
neighborhood
an
island
in
a
district
where,
due
to
geography,
we
have
no
connections
to
the
other
neighborhoods.
I
understand
that
the
numbers
have
to
add
up,
but
please
do
not
use
our
corey
neighborhood
to
simply
balance
equations.
Thank
you
very
much
for
your
consideration.
G
G
N
Good
evening,
council
members-
and
thank
you
for
your
time-
my
name
is
andrew
macias
and
I'm
here
to
request
that
you
forward
the
unity
map
as
a
renter
and
person
of
color.
I
appreciate
how
it
addresses
the
extreme
inequalities
I've
witnessed
in
my
34
living
years
of
living
in
san
jose
and
how
it
treats
the
east
side
with
respect,
while
some
would
like
to
keep
up
with
business
as
usual.
I
appreciate
all
the
time
and
considerations
I've
been
watching
you
all
make
in
order
to
try
and
best
serve
your
districts.
N
However,
the
only
way
to
do
this
fairly
is
the
unity
map.
Some
wealthier
districts
have
been
particularly
vocal
about
not
wanting
to
make
these
changes.
I,
for
one,
am
looking
forward
to
some
fresh
new
ideas
about
how
to
clean
up
the
homeless
issue.
Downtown
some
district
3
residents
earlier
expressed
concerns
about
coming
together
about
prostitution.
N
We
could
definitely
use
some
new
issue,
some
new
ideas
over
there.
It
sounds
like
as
well
the
communities
it
keeps
in
mind
transcends
race,
religion
and
gender
and
to
try
and
narrow
it
down
to
one
color
or
another
is
really
sad,
simply
moving
the
boundaries
without
any
regard
for
the
new
communities
that
have
spun
up
within
our
civilians.
O
Hi,
my
name
is
betsy
hammer
carr,
I
just
turned
70
and
I've
lived
in
district
6.
My
whole
life,
I'm
here
to
support
the
unity
map.
I've
been
fighting
against
voter
suppression
in
san
jose,
since
I
was
a
little
kid
fighting,
redlining
in
the
mayfair
and
tropicana
neighborhoods,
and
then
for
district
elections
to
give
a
chair
and
a
voice
at
the
table
to
all
san
jose
residents.
O
R
Hello,
my
name
is
antonina
and
I'm
in
district
3
in
hyde
park.
It's
really
small,
a
really
small
neighborhood,
I'm
in
favor
of
the
community
map.
The
community
map
keeps
intact
neighbors,
currently
working
together
as
supportive
communities
as
examples
our
neighborhood
hyde
park
works
with
japan
town
we
transform
a
strip
of
land
into
a
community
park.
R
We
work
with
japantown
bendone,
north
side,
horseman,
spartan
keys
and
historic
hensley
regarding
the
signing
policy
that
was
just
passed.
So
please
there's
other
examples,
but
please
support
the
community
map
because
that
keeps
our
neighbors
intact
with
the
work
that
we've
done
so
far.
Thank
you
so
much.
K
K
R
Hi,
my
name
is
hi,
my
name
is
gabriela
garcon
gupta,
I'm
a
resident
of
d9
and
I'm
calling
in
support
of
the
unity
map.
Please
advance
this
map
to
city
council.
I've
heard
a
lot
of
talk
about
how
the
community
map
is
keeping
things
as
they
are
it's
not
affecting
as
many
residents
we
need
to
affect
more
residents.
As
someone
who
grew
up
in
san
jose,
you
can
see
how
inequitable
it
is.
There
are
parts
where
you
don't
have
apartments
for
miles
and
that's
not.
Okay.
R
S
S
Unlike
the
d4
and
community
maps,
the
unimap
does
not
dilute
the
voices
of
working
people
or
marginalized
communities
compared
to
the
other
maps.
Suny
map
is
by
far
the
best
option
for
working
families
and
renters.
For
instance,
it
unites
multi-family
neighborhoods
along
the
I-85
corridor
that
have
been
poorly
represented
in
the
past,
thereby
giving
working
families
and
communities
who
rely
on
rental
housing
a
chance
for
better
leadership
that
represents
their
needs.
S
I
also
want
to
point
out
that
the
uni
map
is
the
only
map
under
consideration
by
the
commission
that
does
not
radically
suppress
the
votes
of
latino
residents
in
downtown
district
3
district
6
and
east
san
jose
district
5,
unlike
the
community
map
3.0
and
d4,
which
suppressed
the
voices
of
those
communities.
So
tonight
I
ask
you
to
please
advance
to
unimap.
It
is
our
city's
best
option
and
understands
how
to
keep
our
communities
interests
together.
Thank
you.
D
D
I
would
like
to
express
my
concern
this
evening
for
the
penitentiary
fairy
esta
san
jose
area.
I
support
the
unity
map
and
it
doesn't
limit
limit
me,
but
other
competing
neighborhoods.
The
unity
map
limits
how
many
other
neighborhoods
are
within
the
barriers
of
district,
which
I
definitely
support,
so
that
our
voices
aren't
diluted
or
split
among
competing
neighborhoods.
D
This
map
keeps
our
community
together,
as
it
should
be
during
the
census.
Our
barrier
as
a
community
came
together
to
demand
all
of
their
neighborhoods
to
be
included
into
the
council
district.
It
would
be
unfair
and
not
right
to
split
this
wonderful
community
of
interest.
We
definitely
need
strong
representation
here
in
in
the
berryessa
area
in
the
north
side
of
san
jose.
I
would
definitely
not
want
their
voices
to
weaken
or
split
them
up.
R
B
G
B
G
B
K
D
Good
evening,
I
strongly
support
the
community
map
and
urge
you
to
move
it
forward.
Importantly,
every
district
in
this
map
retains
the
same
ethnic
majority
that
it
previously
had.
That
is
not
the
case
with
the
unity
map,
which
has
decreased
the
ethnicity
of
whites
in
d6
by
over
7
percent.
Isn't
that
true,
voter
suppression,
the
unity
map
also
makes
drastic
changes
to
the
ethnic
populations
of
d9
and
10,
constituting
packing.
D
Many
people
say
that
the
unity
map
keeps
neighborhoods
together.
The
community
map
does
a
better
job
doing
that.
Your
choices
right
now
are
between
your
map,
which
follows
the
redistricting
guidelines
of
compactness,
contiguity
and
communities
of
interest.
The
community
map
which
follows
those
same
guidelines
and
the
unity
map,
which
remains
a
politically
motivated
effort.
Please
support
the
community
map
and
move
it
forward
to
be
considered
by
the
city
council.
Thank
you
and
thank
you
for
all
the
work
you
are
doing.
B
For
all
your
work-
and
I
know
that
everybody
will
not
be
happy
with
the
ultimate
result,
but
I
strongly
support
the
community
map
tim
clawson,
our
president
of
vendome,
stated
it
much
more
clearly
than
me
and
redis
redistricting.
I
don't
think,
can
solve
all
the
issues
of
redlining
that
have
existed
in
the
past
and
shall
proceed
into
the
future.
It.
The
community
mat,
will
just
address
what
the
entire
redistricting
was
set
to
do,
which
was
balance
the
populations.
G
O
You
hear
me
yes,
okay,
I
support
the
community
map.
I've
lived
in
san
jose
for
over
20
years
in
district
3
and
recently
have
moved
to
district
8..
I've
seen
neighborhood
communities
work
in
unison
on
mutual
neighborhood
issues.
For
years
we
know
the
issues
we've
worked
them
together
to
support
the
best
quality
of
life
for
everyone.
O
We've
also
been
a
diverse
community,
mixed
housing,
mixed
income,
families
seniors
and
at
brisk
housing.
Community
associations
have
always
been
inclusive
and
reflective
and
a
voice
for
the
city
council.
I'm
concerned
of
the
current
trend
of
outside
activist
groups,
of
no
investment
in
our
lives
and
families
other
than
to
change
it,
based
on
their
ideology,
view
of
how
san
jose
should
be,
rather
than
what's
best
for
our
families.
The
unity
map
purposely
divides
and
splits
our
communities
to
dissolve
our
voice
with
city
council.
O
H
Yeah
first
I'd
just
like
to
say
thank
you
to
all
the
commissioners
for
your
patient
consideration
of
each
of
these
maps
before
you
and
their
different
approaches,
but
speaking
as
a
trustee
of
the
luther
burbank
school
district,
my
community
of
interest
is
the
students
working
families
of
color
and
renters
in
burbank
within
district
6..
I've
heard
some
discouraging
comments
about
keeping
things
the
same,
dismissing
historical
issues,
and
I
just
want
to
draw
attention
to
the
subtle
ways.
The
community
map
and
deforest
continue
to
reinforce
historical
inequity.
H
Yet
when
you
look
at
the
community
map
in
d4,
they're,
essentially
looking
at
it
and
you
look
at
the
overlay
of
the
1936
redlining
maps,
we're
extending
d6
deeper
into
places
where
black
asian
latinx
renders
were
excluded
from
owning
homes
and
we're
moving
out
of
district
six
yellow
areas
from
those
maps
which
were
declining
neighborhoods
but
which
meant
that
the
government
did
not
get
financing,
and
today
it's
largely
black
asian
and
latinx
renters.
So
there
is.
G
Yes,
we
have
an
interpreter,
so
those
people
on
the
commission
who
wish
to
hear
the
interpretation
just
need
to
switch
over
to.
I
think
they're
on
the
spanish
channel
tonight
and
loopy
will
get
two
minutes
to
speak
I'll
run
the
one
minute
timer
twice
so
loopy
go
ahead,
you
are
being
interpreted.
I
would
ask
that
you
pause
for
a
second
to
allow
him
to
allow
him
to
translate.
You
back
go
ahead
now.
D
R
G
R
G
R
Yes?
Can
you
hear
me?
Yes,
I'm
sorry.
Thank
you.
The
unity
map
to
me
is
dividing
our
neighborhood.
I
live
in
the
vendome.
I
live
a
block
from
light
rail
that
takes
me
straight
to
downtown.
I
also
walk
to
downtown
we're
a
block
away
from
the
urban
village.
The
north
first
street
urban
village,
which,
on
the
unity
map,
appears
to
be
divided
into
two
as
well
as
up
by
berryessa.
It
appears
that
the
the
urban
villages
up
there
are
being
divided
into
two
districts.
It
doesn't
quite
make
sense.
R
I
don't
understand
why
we're
being
ejected
to
the
other
side
of
the
highway
and
the
river
we
we
don't
have.
You
know
a
lot
of
common
interests
with
with
those
on
the
other
side
of
the
river
and
the
highway.
We
work
very
closely
with
japan,
town
as
tim,
claussen
and
others
have
mentioned,
and
tina
moral.
I
just
I
don't.
I
can't
support
the
unity
map
I
want
to.
Like
tim
said,
I
really
wanted
to
support
this,
but
I
cannot
so
please.
B
B
D
Good
evening,
thank
you
for
giving
me
the
opportunity
to
speak,
so
I
support
the
community
map.
I
actually
know
the
people
that
personally
have
been
developing
that
map
and
I
know
where
they
come
from.
I
know
what
motivates
them:
they're,
not
politically
motivated
they're,
just
motivated
to
help
out
with
this
process,
because
we
have
a
democratic
process.
D
I
think
if
people
are
interested
in
trying
to
make
lives
better,
let's
look
at
how
we
how
we
control,
who
gets
to
go
to
what
schools,
because
when
we
educate
we.
Actually,
that
is
the
big
changer.
I
teach
engineering
at
yerba
buena
and
I
love
the
kids.
I
teach
and
I
want
to
be
able
to
teach
anyone
that
wants
to
come
and
learn
from
me.
D
B
G
Steve
cohen,
followed
by
I,
have
another
hector
moreno.
The
spelling
is
slightly
different,
so
I'm
going
to
go
ahead
and
call
I
just
want
to
let
people
know
you
are
only
allowed
to
speak
one
time
if
this
is
the
same
hector
moreno
that
already
spoke
put
your
hand
down.
If
it's
not
keep
your
hand
up
and
we
will
go
to
you,
steve
cohen,
go
ahead.
Thank
you
for
your
patience.
B
Yes,
can
you
help
hear
me?
Yes
great?
I
am
a
30-plus
year
resident
of
san
jose,
I
own
four
properties,
indeed,
three
actually
five,
one
in
the
downtown
core
and
another
one
by
japan,
town.
I
totally
support
the
unity
map.
I
was
so
excited
when
I
saw
it
it's
time
for
a
change
and
it's
time
to
be
realistic
to
who
lives.
G
N
All
right
cool,
ready,
hi,
my
name
is
hector
moreno.
I
am
born
and
raised
in
east
san
jose
and
still
live
in
east
san
jose.
I
want
east
san
jose
to
be
kept
together,
so
I'm
supporting
the
unity
map.
Your
plans
to
break
up
east
san
jose
are
not
okay.
Our
community
needs
to
stay
together
so
that
we
can
have
a
voice
at
city
hall
that
understands
our
needs.
It's
no
surprise.
When
you
look
at
who
is
behind
the
so-called
community
map,
we
decided
to
do
some
digging
and
here's
what
we
found
out.
N
One
of
the
plans
off
there
is
the
major
republican
donor
who
has
contributed
thousand
dollars.
President
trump
and
a
host
of
other
conservative
causes
and
candidates
as
a
landlord
and
realtor
they've,
also
advocated
through
emails
and
testimonies,
opposing
basic
protective
surrenders,
such
as
just
cause,
evictions
and
rent
control.
The
other
authoring
spokesperson
for
the
plan
was
worked
for
republican
conservative
campaigns,
including
council
member
landi,
up
serving
as
his
campaign
treasurer
as
well
as
other
conservative
city
council
candidates,
political
parties,
elected
officials
and
their
staff
should
not
play
roles
in
drawing
our
redistricting
lines.
N
G
B
So,
first
of
all,
thank
you
very
much
to
all
the
commissioners.
You
are
doing
a
thankless
job.
They
have
put
in
a
mess
a
tremendous
number
of
hours
amount
of
hours,
and
so
thank
you
for
that.
The
the
words
that
you've
been
hearing
this
dog
whistle
about
where
real
community
members,
others,
those
type
of
tactics,
have
been
used
for
years
and
years
and
years
same
type
of
stories
that
that
were
said
about
civil
rights
activists
in
the
south
by
the
by
the
good
old
boys.
So
we're
real
real
americans,
those
folks.
B
Those
are
some
other
people
and
usually
it's
targeted
towards.
You
know
people
of
color
or
minority
folks,
and
so
I
would
ask
you
to
really
factor
that
in
that
these
folks
that
are
calling
in
they're
claiming
we're
real
community
members.
They're
real
community
members
that
are
handing
over
thousands
tens
of
thousands
of
dollars
to
donald
trump.
They
serve
as
treasurers
to
conservative,
former
council
members
and
they're
they're
active,
pushing
their
own
agenda,
so
they're
hiding
behind
the
fact
that
they're,
supposedly
that
they're
real
community
members,
as
opposed.
B
Good
evening,
commissioners,
and
thank
you
for
all
the
hard
work
you've
done
throughout
this
process.
My
name
is
jose
arrial
and
I
am
the
vice
chair
of
the
parks
and
recreation
commission
here
in
san
jose.
So
I
can
understand
the
difficult
task
that
you
have
ahead
of
you.
I've
been
a
resident
of
san
jose
for
33
years
and
I'm
currently
a
resident
of
district
4.,
and
I
keep
hearing
this
word
special
interest
when
it
comes
to
the
unity
map.
The
unity
map
is
supported
by
community-based
organizations
and
civil
rights
leaders.
B
D
Hello,
my
name
is
elizabeth
matson
and
I've
lived
in
san
jose
for
over
30
years
and
in
district
3
for
the
past
25
years.
I
strongly
support
the
community
map
and,
with
all
due
respect
for
those
speaking
in
support
of
the
unity
map.
I
appreciate
your
views
but
they're
addressing
a
single
agenda
item
and
at
a
single
point
in
time
and
not
taking
the
whole
of
the
efforts
of
these
communities.
Over
the
past
years
into
consideration,
we've
been
working
together
to
improve
district
3
for
the
betterment
of
the
whole
of
san
jose.
D
We
need
to
continue
this
work
and
work
together
to
improve
all
our
communities.
As
an
aside
with
a
recent
growth
downtown,
I'm
very
pleased
to
say,
I've
seen
growing
diversity
within
our
own
community
over
the
past
few
years,
and
the
diversity
extends
to
race
economic
status,
age,
skill
sets
and
more.
Please
support
the
community.

Resonate
with
me,
the
unity
map
is
trying
to
divide
our
community.
That
is
not
the
center
that
I
don't
want.
I
do
not
support
d4
or
unity
map,
and
I
want
to
represent
the
community
map
because
it's
fair
and
it
followed
the
district
guideline.
The
copy
map
should
be
recommended
to
the
city
council.
Thank
you.
D
Thank
you,
I'm
a
resident
of
district
three
and
live
in
nagley
park,
and
I
thank
you,
commissioners
for
your
service.
You
have
an
opportunity
of
a
lifetime
to
fight
back
against
voter
suppression
right
here
in
the
city
of
san
jose
and
I'm
incredibly
concerned
that
many
of
the
maps
under
consideration
by
the
redistricting
commission
will
suppress
the
voices
of
latinx
asian
and
black
voters.
D

Hello,
yes,
hi
good
evening,
commissioners,
this
is
ribbon.
I
have
been
a
san
jose
resident
for
20
years
22
years
and
I
strongly
support
the
community
math
because
it
vitally
presents
all
the
communities
and
the
people
and
I'm
strongly
against
the
unity
map
and
the
d
format,
because
they're,
unfair
and
the
divisive.
S
Hello,
my
name
is
tamara
hall,
I'm
a
black
and
mexican
resident
of
district
3
and
a
special
education
teacher
in
district
9
for
the
last
7
years.
I
support
the
unity
map.
We
need
to
maintain
representation
for
disenfranchised
communities.
The
community
map
proposed
neglects
the
need
for
representation
of
communities
of
color
by
increasing
the
representation
of
affluent
communities.
This
is
not
what
we
need
in
our
community
going
forward
for
san
jose
in
terms
of
democratic
representation
and
power.
S
R
Hi,
my
name
is
jenn
meyer,
I'm
a
community
organizer
with
sacred
heart
community
service
and
a
district
three
voter,
and
I
am
here
to
support
the
unity
map
due
to
rising
rents
and
residential
displacement.
We
have
lost
many
of
our
latinx
families
and
neighbors.
The
other
maps
like
the
d4
and
community
map
exacerbate
the
loss
of
voice
of
our
historic
latinx
community
in
our
city
and
the
unity
map
is
the
only
map
to
mitigate
this.
The
other
maps
appear
to
be
cracking
the
latino
community
in
district
3.
R
Under
the
voting
rights
act,
the
unity
act
promotes
fairness,
ensures
that
ethnic
coalitions
have
an
equal
vote
in
their
district
and
conforms
to
the
fair
maps
act
and
the
california
voting
rights
act.
For
example,
it
empowers
the
black
community,
which
has
also
already
been
devastated
by
displacement.
Thank
you.
C
S
S
A
A
C
C
A
Q
O
Q
C
P
That
was
our
entire
discussion
at
the
last
meeting
and-
and
I
think,
if
you,
everyone
recalls
and
the
public
needs
to
remember
that
we
decided,
after
all
the
discussion
last
week
to
not
do
anything,
and
I
think
that's
where
we
are.
I
think
the
public
has
expressed
how
it
feels
the
you
know
we're
very
clear
about
the
different
areas
of
the
city
that
have
issues,
and
I
think,
we've
done
as
a
commission
everything
we
can
do
to
get
rid
of
as
many
issues
as
we
can
now.
P
L
Yeah,
thank
you
to
commissioner
baragon
for
the
recommendation
that
you're
proposing
right
now.
Is
there
one
of
the
maps
that
specifically
does
what
you're
asking
or
do
all
of
them?
Do
it
or
do
none
of
them
do
it?
If,
if
one
of
them
does
it,
then
you
know
we
can
potentially
look
at
where
you
know
I
any
of
us
could
look
at
and
be
like.
Oh
okay,
so
we
see
what
she's
talking
about
there
yeah.
S
S
T
Thank
you
chair.
Well,
I
support
the
intent
of
commissioner
berrigan's
motion
as
we've
seen
through
the
countless
hours
that
we've
been
spending
on
trying
to
draw
the
maps,
it's
been
very
difficult
to
be
able
to
do
perhaps
what
she
is
seeking
to
do
with
trying
to
maintain
nearly
equal
populations
in
each
district
and
then
also
keeping
into
account
all
the
other
criteria,
we're
trying
to
keep
in
mind
with
the
natural
boundaries,
geography,
geography,
cohesiveness
and
communities
of
interest
in
each
district.
T
E
Yeah,
I
think
I
mean
I
would
just
make
a
recommendation.
I
think
maybe
we
should
table
the
motion
because
we
could
have
a
litany
of
specific
recommendations
right,
but
I
think
the
better
way
to
achieve
this
is
to
look
at
what
the
work
we've
already
done.
For
example,
if
you
look
at
the
commissions
map
and
the
community
map
the
most
recent
one,
there
are
small
but
important
differences
right,
one
of
which
is
the
treatment
of
guadalupe
washington.
Damien
community
map
unifies
those.
The
commission's
map
presents
a
little
different
approach
here
on
station
area.
E
The
two
just
are
distinguishable
in
material
ways:
south
willow,
glenn,
ocala,
las
plumas,
reed
hill
view
dove
hill.
All
of
those
areas
are
treated
differently
between
the
two
maps
and
it
presents
distinct
options
for
consideration
by
city
council
about
well.
If
you
take
this,
you
have
to
move
things
around
and
so
you've
already
got
it
kind
of
baked
in
with
those
specific
areas.
E
So
I
think,
perhaps
the
most
the
more
expeditious
and
efficient
way
to
do
this
is
to
actually
discuss
the
maps
we
have
vote
on
them
and
then,
if
there
are
additional
recommendations
after
we
determine
which
maps
are
going
to
go
forward,
we
can
make
those
motions
and
make
sure
those
recommendations
make
it
to
council,
but
it's
kind
of
redundant.
I
think,
if
we're
going
to
pass
these
maps
through
regardless.
D
F
M
I
did
just
want
to
make
a
couple
of
comments
with
respect
to
commissioner
bergen's
recommendation.
I
think
I
want
to
echo
some
of
the
concerns
raised
by
the
other
commissioners
that
we
have
tried
to
work
through
those
recommendations
through
our
commissioner
map
and
the
the
discussion
around.
That
has
been
pretty
lengthy
at
each
of
our
sessions
for
the
past
four
to
six
weeks,
or
so.
C
C
You
know
and
pick
one
of
those,
and
so
I
think
you
know
the
intent
of
the
motion
and-
and
it's
something
that
I
I
would
certainly
agree
with-
is
that
these
these
four
neighborhoods
are
are
are
some
of
the
oldest
community
interests
in
the
entire
city
of
san
jose.
They
were
part
of
the
original
city
that
was
incorporated
in
1850.
C
So
with
all
that
said,
I
actually
think
I
agree
with
commissioner
levitson
that
perhaps
it
would
be
better
to
table
the
motion
and
then
just
go
straight
to
maps,
and
so,
if
that's
okay
with
you,
commissioner
berrigan
we'll
table
the
motion
after
we've,
had
an
opportunity
to
discuss
the
maps
as
commissioner
bruins
brought
up,
he
also
stated
that
or
he
you
know
has
he
inquired
about.
There
are
maps
that
actually
do
and
keep
those
communities
whole.
C
C
C
L
E
E
E
E
C
F
F
F
A
F
F
F
A
S
C
So
it's
an
as
is
you
know:
are
we
going
to
recommend
this
map
to
the
city
council
for
review,
and
then
you
know
and
then
we'll
go
to
the
next
map
and
do
the
same
thing,
but
then,
beyond
that
I
mean,
like
my
understanding,
is
that,
based
on
what
is
in
the
city
charter,
we
can
also
make
recommendations
beyond
the
maps
for
the
city
council
to
consider
as
they
move
forward.
That's
my
that's.
How
I
read
the
city
charter.
S
C
S
This
is
commissioner
barrigan.
I
would
like
to
make
a
motion
to
recommend
the
commission
map
also
known
as
the
d4
map,
to
move
forward
to
the
city
council,
with
the
recommendations
to
keep
the
good
guadalupe,
washington,
goodyear,
mastic,
tamian
and
the
spartan
keys
neighborhoods
in
the
same
district.
C
So
what
what
you're
asking
for
then,
commissioner
berrigan,
is
what
would
be
called
a
friendly
amendment,
because
the
emotion
had
already
been
made
to
to
adopt
the
the
map
before
us.
So
the
motion
had
already
been
made
and
seconded
and
and
also
I,
I
think
that
the
recommendation
that
that
you
would
like
to
see
move
forward
to
council.
That
is
something
that
can
be
made
even
after
we've
discussed
the
maps
that
that's
that's,
how
I
see
it
and
that's
how
I
read
the
charter.
C
C
B
G
B
B
C
C
T
C
I
Thank
you
very
much,
yeah
the
reason
that
we
changed.
That
is
because
we
thought
it
might
be
illegal.
The
way
that
it
was
because,
if
you'll
remember,
district
2
and
district
8
had
an
area
that
wasn't
contiguous
and
district
4
and
5
had
alum
rock
that
wasn't
contiguous
and
chris
said
that
it
needed
to
be
changed
because
it
was
no
longer
legal.
So
we
looked
at
two
and
ten
two
goes
down
and
then
there's
no
contiguity
over
to
that
part
of
ten
there's
99
people
down
there
population.
I
So
we
moved
it
to
make
sure
it
wasn't
illegal,
and
then
I
forgot
to
mention-
and
we
figured
that
somebody,
the
the
council
or
somebody
else
could
make
sure
I
didn't
want
to
put
something
that
seemed
to
be
illegal,
based
on
what
chris
had
said
and
the
population
is
99
people-
and
I
forgot
to
mention
it
during
the
during
the
speech.
So
that's
why
we
did
it.
We
didn't.
We
thought
it
might
not
be
illegal.
C
Q
I
think
it's
blending
in
with
my
background.
Unfortunately,
oh
yeah,
that's
right
and
I
can't
move
it
to
another
side.
That's
fine!
I
have
a
just
a
brief
question
and
it's
really,
commissioner
vargos
it's
my
understanding
is
the
communities
with
regard
to
the
the
recommendation
you
want
to
make
in
the
community
map
are
all
of
those
together
in
one
district
are
those
together
in
the
in
the
community
map
and
my
understanding
was,
I
think
you
said
they
were,
but
do
you
know
for
sure
it
is
community
map
showing
those.
S
P
You
know
each
district
has
a
concern,
you
know
and
we
I
think
we
need
to
sit
like,
for
example,
if,
commissioner,
if,
if,
if
what
you
want,
is
one
of
the
maps
then
vote
for
the
map,
but
I
don't
think
we
should
send
the
city
council
here
maps,
but
actually
this
is
another
idea.
No
we're
our
job
is
to
do
as
best
we
can
to
clarify.
What's
on
the
table,
then
they
need
to
deal
with
it,
but
to
send
them
here
are
three
maps.
P
You
know
we
we've
listened
to
the
public
and
they
need
to
know
we're
listening
and
the
public
isn't
having
giant
discussions
about
the
commission
map
they're
talking
about
the
community
map
and
the
unity
map,
so
I
think
we
really
need
to
get
clear
in
my
mind
that
we
just
can't
push
three
four
three,
even
three
maps
forward
to
me
is:
it
doesn't
seem
like
we're
doing
the
best
we
can.
We
we
need
to
bite
the
bullet
on
our
end
and
there's
a
couple
of
maps
that
then
the
council,
because
the
council
do
anything
they
want.
P
So
I
need
to
tell
them
you
know
recommendations
all
they're
going
to
get
is
my
wish
list
from
five
valley.
Palms.
Wants
this
venn
dome?
What's
that
all
you're
doing
is
making
a
list
of
what
we
already
know.
We
know
what
the
council
needs
to
hear.
It's
the
testimony
that
that
the
people
passionately
talked
about
already.
C
C
M
M
I
think
it
was
the
unity
map
presenter,
who
presented
a
chart
this
weekend
last
week
about
showing
that
the
many
of
the
districts
that
were
moved
out
of
district
3
into
other
districts
were
primarily
latino
districts,
and
my
understanding
is
the
voting.
Rights
act,
prohibits
voter
dilution
in
redistricting,
so
that
would
be
one
of
my
concerns
with
you
know
recommending
this
forward
and
I
believe
there
was
also
something
I
read
in
nbc
bay
area
news
about
various
latino
organizations
expressing
similar
concerns.
C
C
For
the
offer
appreciate
it,
so
I
just
want
to
make
a
comment
on
on
this
map.
I
I
think
that
you
know
I.
I
look
there's
things
I
don't
like
about
every
map
and
again
I
know
I
haven't
been
on
the
commission
as
long
as
as
as
all
of
you,
but
there
are
things
I
don't
like
about
all
of
the
maps
and
and
brand
the
things
I
like
about
all
of
the
maps
this
particular
map.
I
like
the
fact
that
it
keeps
those
four
neighborhoods
intact
and
it
keeps
them
in
one
district.
C
C
You
know
the
the
future
of
dear
dawn
and
and
what's
going
to
be
there
and
how
we
want.
You
know
we're
going
to
get.
You
know,
parks,
money
and-
and
you
know,
what's
going
to
happen
at
dear
dawn.
We
really
don't
know
quite
frankly,
but
we
do
know
that
communities
like
washington,
guadalupe
and
goodyear
mastic
and
spartan
keys
and
tamian
are
dealing
with
gentrification
displacement
issues
now,
so
I
do
like
the
fact
that
the
community
map
keeps
these
neighborhoods
together.
C
Like
I
said,
there's
things
I
don't
like
about
the
community
map.
You
know,
and
I
think
you
know
one
thing
is
that
it
kind
of
puts
rosemary
gardens
on
the
other
side
of
the
airport.
So
on
a
map,
it
actually
looks.
Oh,
look,
it's
it's
contiguous
right,
it's
all
together,
but
it's
the
airport,
it's
like
the
airport
and
then
rosemary
gardens
is
just
kind
of
out
there.
It's
going
to
be
an
island
essentially,
and
so
I
don't
like
that,
but
you
know
you
can't
satisfy
everybody.
C
I
get
it,
and
so
you
know
but,
but
I
just
wanted
to
make
sure
that
folks
knew
that
you
know
where
I
was
coming
from
in
terms
of
what
I
did
like
about
the
community
map.
I
do
appreciate
the
work
that
they've
done
for
sure
on
this
map.
I
know
some
of
the
folks
that
did
the
work
and
and
really
know
how
passionate
they
are
about
their
neighborhoods
and
and
so
yeah.
Just
I
don't
know
if
there's
a
there
was
somewhat
of
a
motion
made,
but
it
wasn't
official.
A
L
L
One
that
we
got
is
the
one
that
we've
all
made
and
speculation
is
that
we
all
say
this
is
the
one
we
like
the
most,
that
one's
just
a
speculation,
but
we
have
these
two
other
maps,
a
community
map
that
has
a
lot
of
support
and
the
union
name
app.
That
has
a
lot
of
support
as
ones
that
they
ought
to
be
taking
a
look
at
as
as
well.
L
I
I
fully
understand
commissioner,
martinez's
idea
of
fighting
the
bullet
there
and
like
this
is
the
one
that
we're
putting
forward
and
it's
a
solid
idea,
and
I
I
agree
with
him
a
lot
on
that.
But
if
we're
writing,
if
we're
giving
a
report,
we
ought
to
have
the
council
see
the
three
ones
that
we
have
diluted
down
to
now,
and
I
know
we
already
took
a
vote
on
the
on
the
one
that
we've
made.
So
I
don't
know
how
feasible
it
is
to
say
good.
L
J
Thank
you.
I
just
wanted
to
comment
on
two
things:
one,
the
question
that
was
raised
about
contiguity
with
respect
to
the
that
that
sliver,
the
the
two
slivers
so
to
speak,
of
of
land
in
district
10..
One
of
the
criteria
under
the
charter
is
to
consider
contiguity
and
as
well
as
under
the
fair
maps,
act
to
the
extent
that
population
does
live
in
that
area.
Then
they,
the
commission,
should
strive
to
keep
those
individuals
with
the
nearest
district
and
not
and
not
have
any
islands
or
pockets.
J
If
there's
no
population
there,
then
it's
not
as
significant
of
an
issue,
because
under
the
charter
it
is
permissive,
but
when,
coupled
with
the
fair
maps
act,
you
know,
the
goal
is
to
keep
districts
as
contiguous
and
as
compact
as
practicable,
and
then
I
also
just
want
to
reiterate
the
chairs
understanding
of
the
charter
requirements
are
correct.
It
is
just
a
report
and
recommendations.
That's
provided
to
the
council
in
2011
that
that
took
a
form.
I
believe
a
map
was
advanced,
but
also
recommendations
were
as
well.
J
This
body
is
an
advisory,
and
so
what
moves
forward
to
counsel
is
really
what
everybody
here
can
agree
upon.
It
could
be
a
map.
It
could
be
recommendations
if
the
charter
excuse
me,
if
the
commission
does
nothing.
The
council
is
still
obligated
to
move
forward,
but
the
charter
does
require
that
the
council
duly
consider
this
body's
report
and
recommendation.
So
I
just
wanted
to
provide
that
guidance
and
if
there's
any
questions,
I'm
happy
to
answer
them.
O
O
I
don't
know
how
I
could
recommend
one
over
the
other,
because
I
think
that
the
residents
of
san
jose
need
to
be
heard.
So
I
think
the
counselor
would
need
to
hear
that
and
it'd
be
very
hard
for
me
to
to
push
to
say
this
is
my
favorite
one.
So
that's
why
I
like
sending
more
than
one
map
along-
and
I
just
want
to
make
that
comment,
and
I
think
maybe
other
commissioners
may
be
feeling
the
same
way.
T
Thank
you
and
I
did
appreciate
the
clarification
from
the
city
attorney's
office
on
the
contiguous
issue.
I
did
want
to
mention
with
the
commission
map
that
this
was
based
on.
This
is
something,
as
you
know,
commissioners
we've
all
been
working
on
together
and
with
redistricting
partners,
based
on
the
testimony
that
we've
been
receiving
from
the
community,
the
public
comments,
and
I
would
venture
to
say
that
it
is
reflective
of
what
we've
been
hearing
with
the
community
map.
Of
course,
as
our
chair
has
pointed
out,
you
know
there
are
differences
and
things
you
know.
T
I
also
don't
like
everything
with
it
with
any
of
the
maps,
but
it
reflects
aspects
of
the
unity
map
as
well
as
the
community
map,
and
I,
as
an
advisory
commission,
we're
here
to
advise
the
council
as
to
what
we
think
are
the
best
recommendations.
Moving
forward
with
this
redistricting
process,
we've
sat
through
all
the
public
hearings.
We've
heard
the
hours
of
public
comments
and
for
us
just
to
pass
the
buck
and
say
well
here
they
are
you,
you
decide.
T
C
C
C
T
Q
A
C
F
Q
Thank
you,
here's
the
issue
I
have
with
the
unity
map.
I
went
back
to
our
very
first
meetings
and
took
a
look
at
what
we
were
taught
and
what
we
were
told
to
do
and
what
I
saw
was
you
know
the
equal
population
within
the
10
percent
contiguity
I'm
reading
off
my
notes
again
from
the
web
of
the
webinar.
Q
All
I've
heard
as
far
as
everything
on
the
unity
map
is
based
upon
race,
which
we
were
told.
It
cannot
be
the
soul
factor.
I
haven't
heard
as
much
discussions
of
community
of
interest.
I
haven't
heard
it's
there's
some
aspects
that
are
not
contiguous
and
doesn't
keep
several
of
the
communities
of
interest
together.
For
example,
we
got
public
letters
that
were
in
this
agenda
about
the
corey
district
that
they
want
to
remain
in
district
six
and
it
puts
them
in
district
1
in
the
unity
map.
Q
P
P
We
don't
have
the
words
to
express
it,
but
bottom
line
being
the
district
five
people,
the
unity
map,
talks
about
needs
in
many
districts
and
the
other
maps
that
we've
heard
are
talking
about
me,
my
district
and
the
unity
map's
talking
about
many
districts.
That's
because,
for
example,
generally
speaking,
the
latinos
are
one
of
the
bigger
of
the
ethnic
groups,
we're
not
homeowners,
we
don't
own
homes,
we're
renters
and
renting
is
needed
everywhere.
P
P
People
who
have
to
go
to
work
every
day
they
can
stay
home
and
zoom
in
to
the
office.
That's
who
the
unity
map
is
representing
and
it's
not
real,
and
it
just.
It
happens
to
be
that
african,
americans,
latinos
and
some
of
the
asian
groups
are
traditionally
the
ones
who
have
been
left
out,
and
so
the
unity
map
is
addressing
that
matter.
And
lastly,
and
there's
no
name
calling
here,
I
think
everyone
who
has
spoken
their
voice,
there's
no
good
guys
and
bad
guys
we're
all
trying
to
fit
the
change.
C
M
We've
also
heard
public
testimony
from
district
nine
wanting
to
keep
thousand
oaks
pinehurst
ericsson
tanglewood
together
this
this
unity
map
does
that
it
keep.
We
also
heard
a
community
interest
testimony
from
wep
neighborhood
wishing
to
be
in
district
2..
This
does
that
as
well,
and
it
keeps
penitentia
berryessa
in
district
4.,
and
you
know
I
do.
I
do
have
concerns
about.
M
You
know
what
the
commission,
what
communities
of
interest
the
commission
gives
greater
importance.
It
seems
that
you
know
these
neighborhoods
that
have
been
established
and
around
for
a
very
long
time
are
given
a
lot
of
weight,
and
I
understand
that,
and
I
think
that
it's
important
to
also
recognize
that
working
class
families.
M
You
know
don't
have
the
time
and
the
to
to
you
know,
unite
and
create
the
create
their
own
neighborhood
association
or
have
the
time
to
even
participate
in
those
things,
and
I
think
that
we've
heard
public
testimony
from
various
members
of
different
districts
expressing
their
support
for
the
unity
map
because
of
their
their
community
interests
as
a
renter
or
as
a
working
person.
And
so
I
think
that
those
should
also
be
be
given.
M
M
O
O
O
I
don't
like
the
district
6,
it's
sticking
itself
behind
district
9.
to
me,
that's
gerrymandering,
so
for
myself
I
could
not
support
the
unity
map.
I
think
it's
going
to
have
legal
problems
if
it
goes
forward
and
as
I
as
I
am
a
latino
and
I
have
been
elected
official,
I
think
the
fact
that
we
have
the
ability
to
represent
our
people-
and
I
know
that
I
have
always
supported
it.
O
I
understand
that
the
asian
community
has
not
been
represented
in
in
the
in
the
last
few
years,
but
they
have
the
potential
and
they
definitely
have
the
voting
power,
because
in
district
8
they
are
the
voting
power.
They
are
the
ones
that
vote
absentee
ballots,
so
they
have.
The
capacity
is
that
they
have
to
bring
forth
candidates
that
they
will
want
to
push
forward
on
the
city
council.
T
E
E
I
did
that
for
purposes
of
trying
to
promote
dialogue,
because
if
that
would
have
happened-
and
there
was
some
sort
of
middle
ground
or
some
adjustments
that
could
have
been
made
as
a
community,
then
my
job
would
have
been
to
support
that.
But
what
I
got
was
nothing
I
got
no,
I
didn't
reach
out
to
them.
No,
I
didn't
communicate
with
them
because
we
disagree.
Well.
E
How
do
you
know
if
you
disagree
with
somebody
if
you've
never
even
spoken
to
them,
so
that
underlying
attitude
with
respect
to
my
district
district
6
basically
makes
this
a
non-starter?
But
even
if
you,
even
if
you
look
at
it,
I
mean
that
same
attitude
pervades
into
vendome,
and
I've
got
no
good
reason
why
the
map
was
drawn
the
way
it
was
with
respect
to
district
six,
what
it
does
with
district
three
moving
up
to
district
nine,
even
down
into
into
two
and
ten.
E
Obviously
not
nobody
wants
to
do
that
and
if
you
look
at
all
these
maps,
east
san
jose
is
by
and
large,
very
similar
across
the
maps.
So
I
don't
see
how
any
of
these
maps
would
break
up
east
san
jose.
So
if
you
want
to
take
that
testimony
into
account
that
that
objective
is
achieved
in
in
the
first
two
maps,
it's
just
there's
been
no
testimony
that
says
the
first
two
maps
were
deficient
in
that
regard,
because
they're
not
they're.
E
Almost
identical
the
change
happens
in
the
middle
of
the
city
and
it's
unexplained
and
it's
contrary
to
the
community
of
interest
testimony.
I
don't
think
we
could
dutifully
and
correctly
discharge
the
duties
that
have
been
assigned
to
us
under
the
laws
that
apply
to
us
and
recommend
this
map
as
it's
currently
constituted.
E
E
E
What
you!
What
you
have
here
is
a
lot
of
testimony
about
redlining
and
a
lot
of
anger,
and
justifiably
so,
but
what
I
haven't
seen
not
once
and
we've
seen
how
many
presentations
on
this
map
is
any
explanation
as
to
how
this
map
addresses
the
alleged
redlining.
It
is
a
presumption
that
is
baked
into
the
testimony
and
the
presentation
it
just
is,
and
I
would
have
loved
to
see
that
presentation,
but
it
was
never
given
to
us.
A
A
A
Don't
you
think
you'd
be
doing
a
disservice
to
those
citizens,
but
not
even
making
an
effort
or
or
saying
okay.
You
know
here's
three
maps
and
in
these
three
maps
we
have
difficulties
in
deciding
because
really
the
unity
map.
If
you
go
to
district
three,
look
how
it's
cut
up,
I
mean
you
you're,
just
diving
into
district
six
and
and
it
just
cuts
off,
and
it
comes
back
that
to
me
looks
like
gerrymandering.
A
A
That's
that's
being
disenfranchised
when
it
comes
to
the
asian
american
or
the
api
community
yeah.
Disregarding
this,
you
know
it's
heavily
populated
and
I
must
agree
yeah
you.
You
need
to
find
someone
that
you
feel
that
can
win
an
election
or
whatever
it
may
be,
to
get
on
the
city
council
I
mean
when
it
comes
to
those
of
african
ancestry.
A
A
I
think
we
just
need
to
you
know
still
give
them
that
opportunity
for
the
city
council
to
make
their
own
decision.
I
mean
we
can
put
all
the
footnotes
that
we
want
attached
to
these
maps
but,
like
we
said
earlier,
they're
the
ones
that
will
make
the
final
decision
yey
or
nay,
so
hopefully,
instead
of
going
back
to
this
whole
thing
again.
A
And
I'm
not
saying
that
saying
that
we
are
doing
that.
I'm
just
making
the
comment
that
we
gotta
do
our
very
best
and
put
our
very
best
foot
forward
and
give
the
city
council
some
ammunition
and
work
with,
so
that
we
won't
miss
this
great
opportunity
and
making
sure
that
all
city
meet
the
federal
and
state
criterias.
A
S
I
formally
served
on
the
neighborhoods
commission
and
there
were
many
nights
that
I
would
go
into
the
neighborhoods
throughout
the
city,
but
mainly
in
district
3,
because
that's
where
my
home
is-
and
I
would
go
in
and
assess
different
quality
of
life
issues
in
many
different
neighborhoods,
sometimes
six
neighborhoods
per
night
to
make
sure
that
graffiti
street
lights
illegal
dumping.
Everything
was
assessed,
reported
to
improve
quality
of
life
for
our
neighborhoods.
S
Q
Thank
you
just
one
last
I
I
think
my
understanding
with
what
we
the
job
we
were
given
was
to
advise
city
council
of
what
we
believe
is
the
best
recommendations,
whether
it's
a
map,
a
recommendation
and
so
forth,
and
I
would
be
concerned
that
I
mean
not
if
they
can
listen
to
the
public
and
to
just
say,
okay.
Well,
these
are
everything
we
were
given
here.
Go
ahead.
Q
You
guys
choose
now
it
was
like
we
sat
through
this
whole
night.
We
could
have
done
that
at
the
last
meeting,
so
I
feel
that
it's
our
obligation
to
really
put
forth
what
we
believe
is
the
best,
whether
it's
one
two
but
I'm
not
hearing
I'm
hearing
from
the
third
that
well,
we
just
give
them
everything
that
we've
been
given
and
I
I
think
we
would
be
doing
a
disservice
to
the
city
council.
If
we
did
that,
that's
just
my
two
cents.
C
C
That
district
six,
I
think,
that's
a
little,
and
so
I
do
I
do
like
that.
The
airport
is
staying
in
district
three
and
as
well
as
you
know,
some
of
the
other
neighborhoods
that
are
currently
district
three,
but
you
know
there
are
other
things
I
I
don't
like
about
it.
The
split
on
invento
makes
absolutely
no
sense
to
me
at
all.
C
You
know
you
have
the
way
it
splits
up
downtown
and
doesn't
really
make
any
sense
to
me
at
all,
because
you
already
have
a
situation
in
downtown
san
jose
where
downtown
east,
as
I
would
call
it
is
sort
of
you
know.
Whatever's
east
of
market
first
street
is
already
sort
of
becoming
like
the
ugly
stepchild
of
the
rest
of
downtown
on
san
pedro
and
closer
to
sap
center.
C
Oh
I'm
sorry,
I
I
I
think
there
might
be
some
unintended
consequences
to
this
map
in
terms
of
how
splitting
up
downtown
will
affect
district
six
and
ultimately,
what
what
that
might
look
like
in
terms
of
you
know,
voter
representation
among
you,
know
the
different
groups,
but
those
are
unintended
consequences.
I
I
you
know
so
I
I
don't.
I
can
deal
with
those
with
some
of
the
other
comments
made
against
the
community
against
the
unity
map
and
in
favor
of
the
community
map.
Those
are
not
unintended.
Those
are
intended
consequences.
C
Those
are
folks
who
who
want
the
status
quo
for
the
most
part,
and
so
just
because
something
is
a
status
quo,
doesn't
make
it
more
fair
that
that's
how
I
see
it,
this
is
a
the
unity
map
would
be
a
big
change.
I
get
it
and-
and
I
know
that
I
haven't
been
through
as
many
presentations
as
as
all
of
you,
but
but
I
just
I
just
can't
discount,
like
the
the
number
of
emails
we've
received,
the
number
of
folks
who
have
commented
during
these
these
meetings.
P
Yeah
yeah
I'd
like
to
make
a
motion
that
we
move
this
map
forward
to
the
city
council
again,
just
because
I'm
saying
we
heard
the
diversity
from
this
city
talk
about
this
map
and
we
must
move
their
voice
to
the
city
council.
Otherwise
we're
saying
we
know
better
than
you
and
that's
we
shouldn't
do
that.
That's
up
to
the
politicians
at
the
council
level
and
this
thing
about
the
five
latinos.
No,
we
have
had
african
americans
on
the
council.
We
have
had
asians
on
the
council.
P
We
currently
have
four
or
five
latinos,
but
it's
not
because
they're
in
latino
districts
thing
because
they
it's
because
they
make
sense
to
the
people
who
live
in
the
districts
where
they
went
out
and
said.
This
is
what
I
want
to
get
for
us
and
the
people
said:
move
forward.
People
don't
elect
because
of
your
race.
They
be
left
they
like
you
because
of
your
ideas,
so
none
of
this
is
guaranteeing
one
color
of
person
or
the
other.
So
we
need
to
let
the
city
council
deal
with
this
diversity
question.
Thank
you.
L
L
C
B
A
E
H
C
So
now
I
I
I
think
if
there
are
additional
recommendations
that
the
commission
would
like
to
make
to
the
council
as
they
consider
these
maps,
this
would
be,
I
think,
a
time
to
to
perhaps
yeah
make
a
motion
so
that
we
can
consider
some
additional
recommendations.
I
get
it.
You
know
we
don't
want
to
like
make
100
recommendations,
but
I
can
tell
you
I
did
have
like
one
kind
of
odd
question
that
I
had
for
actually,
commissioner,
did
levitson
and
commissioner
fadam,
and
that
was
on
canoas
gardens.
C
There
was
a
interesting
email
that
we
received
from
somebody
that
talked
about
how
they
lived
in
a
certain
area
that
was
sort
of
blocked
by
various
walls
and
and
that
the
only
way
they
could
get
in
or
out
of
their
neighborhood
was
through
district
six,
but
yet
they
were
going
to
be
placed
in
district
nine.
So
I
I
just
wanted
to
ask:
did
you
have
any
time
to
look
at
that,
or
do
you
know
anything
about
that
issue?
C
Q
C
Q
Yeah,
it
does
canoes
gardens
actually
is
broken
up
area.
There's
the
almaden
expressway
right
there,
and
then
you
can't
get
from
one
side
of
canoa's
gardens
to
the
other
side
of
canoa's
gardens
without
actually
going
into
district.
Six
is
what
they're
talking
about
the
reason.
Why
is
the
way
the
barriers
are
set
up,
but
also
the
way
the
street
is
itself
that
whole
area?
Q
Okay,
I
don't
know
if
he
can
bring
it
up,
but
that's
that's
what
they're
talking
about
it.
Half
of
kanoa's
gardens
is
on
the
other
side
of
belmont
expressway,
but
most
important.
The
street
itself.
Canoas
gardens
is
not
connected
and
you
can't
get
from
one
side
of
canoas
gardens
to
the
other
side
of
canonicus
gardens
without
actually
going
out.
And
that's
where
they're
saying
you
have
to
go
into
district
six
and
then
there's
a
bunch
of
barriers
that
have
been
put
up
that
prevent
even
more
thoroughfare.
E
Q
Yes,
I
think
commissioner
veron's
recommendation
I
like
it,
even
though
it
is
included
into
the
community
map
already.
I
think
it
is
well
worth
having
it
as
an
additional
separate
recommendation,
especially
in
light
of
also
your
indications.
It
is
the
oldest
neighborhoods
to
stay
contiguous
together.
So
I
would
welcome
commissioner
barrigan
to
revisit
that
recommendation
again.
Q
B
E
M
C
C
J
Thank
you.
First,
I
want
to
thank
all
of
you
for
your
service
and
your
commitment
to
this
whole
process
after
tonight's
meeting
there'll
be
no
further
meetings
of
the
registration
commission.
That
being
said
there,
I
would
suggest
all
of
you
still
comply
with
the
parameters
that
the
council
set
forth
before
the
redistricting
commission
until
the
maps
are
adopted
by
the
council.
J
If
you
want
to
appear
at
the
council
meeting,
I
I
don't
know
if
the
clerk
is
going
to
provide
commissioners
with
a
separate
opportunity
to
present
or
speak
or
anything
like
that.
But
if
you
do
come
and
speak
in
public
comment,
for
example,
as
a
member
of
the
public,
I
just
want
to
remind
everybody
to
make
sure
that
they're
that
they
indicate
or
state
that
they
are
speaking
on
their
own
behalf
and
not
on
behalf
of
the
whole
commission,
unless
you're
so
authorized
to
do
that
by
the
commission
at
this
meeting.
J
If
there
are
any
other
questions
you
know
I
I
want
you
all
to
still
follow
and
comply
with
the
brown
act
and
not
have
any
discussions
and
the
rationale
behind
that
is
in
case,
for
whatever
reason
the
redistricting
commission
needs
to
meet
again
in
the
future.
So
if
there
are
any
other
questions,
I'm
happy
to
answer
them
at
this
moment,
and
that
concludes
what
I
have
to
say.
