A
A
A
A
B
B
B
A
D
A
B
C
A
B
C
Yeah,
I
have
a
couple
of
things
to
talk
about
one
I
think
I
mentioned
it
on
saturday,
daisy
castro
from
district
three
resigned,
so
we're
looking
for
a
replacement
for
her
and
then
a
couple
of
other
things,
ab361
passed
to
through
the
assembly
and
the
senate.
I'm
not
sure
if
the
governor
has
signed
it
yet,
but
that's
to
enable
us
to
continue
virtual
meetings
while
there's
an
emergency
declaration
in
effect.
C
So
when
we
talked
about
possibly
going
hybrid
in
october,
it
looks
like
we're
going
to
be
able
to
stay
virtual
through,
except
for,
of
course,
the
public
hearings
that
we've
been
holding
in
person.
We
can
keep
the
rest
of
the
meetings
virtual
until
the
end,
so
that
makes
a
lot
easier
for
all
of
us.
I
think,
especially
when
it
comes
to
getting
quorum,
it's
a
lot
easier
than
driving
downtown
and
if
we
move
to
hybrid
meetings
that
takes
a
lot
more
coordination
with
with
not
just
us
the
hall
staff.
C
C
C
C
B
B
C
Yes,
that's
what
I
was
thinking
and
then
we
have
the
option.
I
play
the
presentation
from
before,
but
if
nobody
attends
we
just
have
to
open
a
public
hearing
and
then
seeing
there's
no
speakers,
we
close
it
and
then
that
will
will
sort
of
satisfy
our
public
hearing
requirement
and
we
don't
have
to
play
the
presentation
if
nobody's
here.
B
B
C
B
C
C
A
C
A
C
This
district
r
link,
if
you
click
it,
it
takes
you
directly
to
the
san
jose
tag,
so
you
don't
have
to
click,
california
and
then
san
jose
and
then
communities
of
interest.
It
takes
you
there
directly
and
you
here's
the
public
gallery,
so
you
can.
This
is
where
I'm
seeing
all
of
the
the
ones
that
have
been
submitted
so
far.
C
Okay,
I'm
going
to
stop
share
and
see,
if
maybe
I
can
fix
that
and
get
them
to
load.
While
you
guys
talk
or
let
me
show
you
the
other,
the
other
page,
in
addition
to
what's
attached
to
you,
know
the
agenda,
you
can
go
here
and
click
on
coi
testimonies
and
you
can
see
all
of
the
different
testimonies,
because
I
know
we
had
the
big
one
last
week,
which
I
thought
was
really
interesting,
because
it's
a
community
that
spans
currently
spans
different
districts.
C
B
C
C
A
C
B
B
C
C
C
So
please
show
up
you
can
shop
via
zoom
and
you
can
be
off
camera
if
you
need
to
be
off
camera
because
it's
basically,
you
know,
there's
going
to
be
a
big
presentation
and
then
public
comment
and
we
had
agreed
to
hold
our
next
two
thursdays
to
discuss
communities
of
interest.
Do
you
still
want
to
we?
We
already
posted
an
agenda
for
next
week
for
just
communities
of
interest
discussion.
C
C
Yeah,
that
was
part
of
it
also
we
start
drawing
maps
in
october,
so
we
held
it
in
case
that
we
thought
there
was
a
need
for
you
if
you
guys
felt
the
need
to
sort
of
sit
down
and
talk
about
the
communities
of
interest,
testimony
that
you've
heard
and
to
sort
of
give
direction
on.
You
know
I
think
these
neighborhoods
need
to
stay
together.
You
don't
need
to
start
talking
about
that
right
now.
You
could.
C
It
can
definitely
wait,
but
we
did
hold
those
next
two
thursdays,
so
those
conversations
could
hap
happen
virtually,
but
we
can
also
maybe
skip
next
week
and
then
meet
the
following
week.
I
believe
we
will
need
to
meet
before
the
third
meeting
in
october,
so
either
for
the
week
after
would
be
good
to
meet,
so
we
can
get
on
board.
We've
got
all
of
the
the
public
hearings
are
done
and
we
can
talk
about
next
steps
with
redistricting
partners.
C
A
A
A
A
C
B
A
C
A
Yeah,
that's
correct
the
council
res
well.
The
council
resolution
does
limit
the
participation
of
redistricting
commissioners
that
all
communications
about
redistricting
need
to
occur
at
a
publicly
noticed
meeting.
So
the
to
the
extent
that
that
meeting
is
not
publicly
noticed,
then
then
you
can't
speak
there.
You
you
need
to
be.
Do
it
at
one
of
these
meetings.
A
A
C
B
A
Yeah,
I
just
wanted
to
clarify
that
I
attended
a
zoom
meeting
this
week
and
I
sent
the
information
ahead
of
time
both
to
tony
and
megan
and
other
than
I
just
talked
about
the
meeting
that
we're
having
in
district
five
on
the
weekend.
But
I
don't
opine
or
anything
about
what's
going
on,
I
just
and
and
then
I
just
told
them
about
that
youtube
video.
You
know
we
showed.
I
had
them
show
that
video,
but
that
was
what
I
did
as
far
as
clarifying
speaking
somewhere.
B
B
B
A
D
Our
firmware
auditioning
partners
is
working
with
municipalities
across
the
state,
cities,
counties
and
other
local
governments
on
the
implementation
of
the
fair
maps
act,
which
is
an
open,
transparent,
redistricting
process
that
is
being
followed
by
all
cities
and
counties.
So
we're
really
happy
to
be
working
with
san
jose.
D
The
process
that
the
city
of
san
jose
has
chosen
to
use
is
one
that
is
allowed
for
under
the
new
state
law
and
wherein
we
have
a
redistricting
committee
or
a
commission
that
is
going
to
be
taking
community
of
input
looking
at
interest
input
looking
at
the
community
within
the
city
and
then
putting
together
redistricting
plans
that
will
then
be
sent
to
this
week
for
final
adoption.
The
members
of
the
committee
commission
are
from
throughout
the
city,
and
these
are
the
names
there's
also
information
on
the
city's
research
website.
D
The
things
I'm
going
to
cover
are
going
to
start
off
with
the
basics
of
registering
talk
about
the
commission
process
and
the
rules.
The
principles
that
we'll
be
using
in
the
redistricting
talk
about
communities
of
interest
I'll,
do
a
demonstration
of
the
district
r
mapping
tool
and
then
we'll
have
an
opportunity
for
community
of
interest
testimony.
D
So
if
you
had
a
problem,
a
broken
street
light
in
the
12
000
person
district,
you
had
a
much
better
access
to
the
government
than
if
you
were
there's
a
working
street
light.
Thank
you,
but
you
would
have
a
lot
better
access
to
your
government
to
get
that
problem
solved
in
a
12,
000
person
district
in
100,
000
district
mathematically.
You
would
have
to
go
get
seven
of
your
friends
to
have
the
same
power
to
get
your
local
government
to
respond
to
a
broken
streetlight.
D
The
voting
aspect
can
sometimes
be
a
little
bit
different
because
in
that
agency
one
district
had
10
000
voters.
The
other
district
had
70
000
voters,
so
it
isn't
always
the
same,
but
what
we
found
in
supreme
court
cases
as
recently
as
about
three
years
ago,
the
one
where
to
rebalance
these
districts,
the
primary
goal
is
rebalancing
them
for
that
representative
value.
So
we
rebalance
districts
based
on
people
and
I'll
talk
about
that.
A
little
bit.
D
The
10-member
commission
is
going
to
be
doing
a
series
of
outreach
sharings
like
this
one
they're
going
to
be
working
to
identify
community
of
interest
input
from
the
public
that
community
of
interest
input
is
the
building
blocks
of
future
districts.
You
know
20
30
years
ago.
The
kind
of
smoke-filled
room
redistricting
would
be
that
the
only
community
of
interest
that
mattered
was
maybe
the
addresses
of
the
incumbents
or
some
political
consideration
or
other
issues
now
in
in
the
way
that
it
redistricting
is
expected
to
be
done
and
the
way
the
state
law
requires.
D
We
want
to
make
sure
that
we
are
keeping
districts
balanced,
but
if,
if
having
one
district
be
a
little
bit
larger
than
the
other
in
order
to
you
know,
protect
a
neighborhood
line
or
to
protect
a
community
of
interest
or
to
preserve
the
voting
rights
of
the
community,
then
that
percentage
of
equality
of
districts
can
be
up
to
10,
meaning
the
biggest
district
can
be
up
to
10
larger
than
the
smallest
district
districts.
Do
need
to
be
contiguous,
meaning
that
districts
don't
hop
and
jump.
D
It
means
the
city
of
san
jose
does
have
some
areas
that
are
a
little
bit
less
contiguous
and
when
we
look
at
the
actual
map
later
on,
you'll
see
there's
some
areas
where
we
have
either
things
called
islands,
which
is
an
area
inside
the
city.
That's
part
of
an
unincorporated
area
or
we
might
have
a
part
of
the
city,
that's
actually
detached
from
the
city
itself.
D
It
can
be
completely
subjective.
I
might
say
my
community
of
interest
is
where
I
go
cycling,
where
I
drop
my
kid
off
at
school,
where
I
work
where
I
walk
my
dogs
and
that's
my
community
of
interest.
My
issues
might
be
the
street
lights
and
the
potholes
and
and
the
bike
path
and
different
things.
So
what
we
want
to
do
is
be
open-ended
and
inclusive
in
this
process.
D
D
D
While
all
that's
true,
we
also
cannot
also
based
on
the
14th
amendment
of
the
equal
protection
clause.
We
cannot
draw
districts
predominantly
based
on
race,
so
if
a
legal
guidance
is
given
that
we
have
to
create
a
district,
that's
latino,
asian
or
african-american
to
a
certain
percentage,
we'll
do
that,
as
is
required
under
the
federal
voting
rights
act.
But
outside
of
that
we
won't
say.
D
Oh,
we
want
this
district
to
be
the
asian
district
or
the
african-american
district,
we're
going
to
make
sure
that
districts
are
shaped
by
the
communities.
Maybe
it's
the
churches
that
that
community
goes
to
maybe
it's
the
supermarkets
that
community
shops
have
maybe
it's
the
community
center
that
community
utilizes?
Maybe
it's
the
language
services,
maybe
it's
the
the
bilingual
programs,
maybe
it's
other
things
that
are
tied
to
how
that
community
lives
and
work
and
recreates
and
connected
within
the
city.
D
There
are
other
communities
of
interest.
I
mentioned
cultural,
religious
groups,
outdoor
recreation,
my
cycling
analogy,
downtown
or
rural
or
suburban.
Those
are
all
different
types
of
communities
of
interest
and
there
are
more
and
more
as
we
do
these
redistrictings.
We
hear
you
know
some
really
amazing
stories
about
people's
lives
that
help
define
them
as
communities
of
interest,
something
that
communities
of
interest
can't
be.
It
can't
be
political
party
affiliation.
D
If
somebody
is
getting
on
this
zoom
right
now
and
they
call
in
and
say
well,
my
community
of
interest
is
me
and
all
my
libertarian
friends,
we
live
on
one
side
of
town.
We
want
to
be
in
a
district
together
that
cannot
be
utilized
as
a
community
of
interest,
incumbents
or
candidates
cannot
be
used
as
communities
of
interest.
If
I
want
to
call
in
and
say
I'm
going
to
run
for
the
city
council,
I
want
a
district
that
has
this
that's
my
interest.
D
That
is
not
a
legitimate
community
of
interest
to
utilize
in
the
registering
process.
It's
also
hard
to
completely
utilize
as
a
community
of
interest,
any
communities
that
are
either
city-wide
or
that
don't
have
a
geographic
location.
Somebody
calls
in
and
says
I'm
left-handed
and
I
can't
buy
scissors
anywhere
in
the
city.
D
That's
not
really
a
community
of
interest,
because
it's
not
geographically
located
in
one
part
of
the
city
when
we
are
encouraging
people
to
contribute
to
the
process
through
identification
of
their
communities
of
interest
or
when
we
are
listening
to
testimony
and
kind
of
like
getting
that
fine
tuning
of
our
of
our
listening
to
the
community
about
their
communities
of
interest.
These
are
the
three
things
that
we
really
want
to.
Listen
for,
and
we
want
to
encourage
participants
to
provide
one
is:
does
the
community
have
a
shared
culture
characteristics,
a
bond,
a
name?
D
Is
there
something
you
call
that
community
of
interest
is
the
community
geographic
in
nature?
Where
does
it
reside?
How
can
it
be
identified?
Are
there
geographic
tools
that
can
be
used
to
help
aid
us
in
the
process
of
you
know
we're
getting
data
to
be
part
of
the
process
of
identifying
that
area
and
third,
what's
the
community's
relationship
to
the
jurisdiction
and
how
is
it
affected
by
the
policy
making
one
of
the
more
creative
ways
I've
heard
of
community
of
interest
being
discussed
was
a
community
of
interest?
D
So
we
want
to
look
at
those
three
things
and
we
want
to
hear
that
and
we
want
people
providing
that
information
in
multiple
ways
as
I'll
describe
so
here's
some
examples
of
potential
communities
of
interest,
and
we
like
to
do
this
like
as
a
little
game
but
on
zoom
I'll,
just
kind
of
answer
these
myself.
But
a
group
of
renters
who
lives
downtown,
testifies
to
the
city's
radiation
commission.
Is
that.
A
D
So
it's
either
a
former
hub
of
business
or
a
community
or
it's
one-
that's
been
discriminated
against.
I
know
in
this
redesign
process
we've
already
heard
somebody
from
the
community
talk
about
redlining.
Should
that
be
considered
a
community
of
interest,
I
mean
theoretically,
the
redlining
is
stopped.
So
is
that
a
community
of
interest
still,
even
though
that's
a
policy
that
has
gone
away?
D
D
Actually,
yes,
sounds
sometimes
trivial,
a
dog
park
community
of
interest,
but
it
is
an
example
of
people
who
maybe
need
safe
street.
If
you
need
services-
and
maybe
it's
a
city
provided
dog
park-
or
maybe
it's
a
county
divide
dog
park
and
they'll-
go
to
the
county
and
do
redistricting,
but
that
can
be
a
community
of
interest.
D
D
D
A
D
D
They
would
hire
someone
like
us
to
draw
maps
and
participate
with
them
in
order
to
give
them
the
ability
to,
in
order
to
give
them
the
ability
to
have
that
public
engagement.
Nowadays,
it's
really
been
democratized
and
one
of
the
companies
that's
been
working
to
democratize.
It
is
disruptor,
and
that
is
I'll,
be
going
through
that
that
is
the
company
that
is
going
to
be
providing
the
mapping
tool
for
the
city.
D
D
D
So
what
you
can
do
with
this
tool
is
you
can
identify
an
area
like
this
and
then
you
can
name
it
and
I'm
going
to
name
this
training
one
and
you
can
put
information
about
that
community
of
interest
and
it's
as
easy.
As
that,
I
can
also
create
a
place.
I
can
click
on
the
new
place,
location
and
I
can
put
a
new
place
dot
and
then,
when
I
put
that
dot,
I
can
name
it
something.
D
D
Do
that
again
I
have
a
link
or
I
can
share
it
to
the
gallery
and
I'll
show
you
what
happens
when
you
share
it
to
the
gallery.
I'm
not
going
to
show
this
one
because
we're
just
testing.
I
also
one
of
the
things.
That's
interesting
about
this
tool,
which
I
really
love
is
let's
say
that
this
is
somebody's
community
of
interest
and
they
say,
but
you
know
what
I
actually
have
multiple
communities
of
interest.
This
is
my
community
of
interest
of
where
I
live
and
I
work
and
I
play.
But
honestly,
I'm
a
like.
D
I
said
earlier,
I'm
a
cyclist
and
I've
got
real
concerns
about
safety
and
roads
and
and
access
and
people
not
following
the
three
foot
rule
and
police
and
whatever
it
is.
My
concerns
are,
and
so
I
now
want
to
draw
a
second
commute
of
interest.
I
can
click
the
plus
button
and
I
can
draw
the
second
commute
of
interest
and
it's
up
here
in
the
foothills
where
I
like
to
ride,
and
I
say
actually
you
know
what
I
want
to
do-
a
third
community
of
interest
and
my
community
of
interest
here
overlaps
these
others.
D
D
D
And
so
saving
this
allows
us
to
draw
this
information
down.
All
this
information
will
be
put
into
a
common
format
for
the
commission
and
put
into
a
website
so
that
the
commission
can
utilize
this
as
building
blocks
of
the
eventual
districts.
Let
me
go
ahead
now
and
switch
back
to
the
powerpoint
just
to
finish
up.
D
D
They're,
pretty
big
posters
like
this
printed
out
with
actual
population
numbers
and
those
posters
with
the
population
numbers
people
can
actually
draw
districts,
meaning
they
can
add
up
the
number
of
population
of
each
district
and
submit
that
as
their
committee
of
interest
testimony,
we
have
upcoming
meetings
that
are
going
to
be
held.
Obviously,
right
now
we're
at
the
2pm
meeting
in
district
six.
D
But
these
these
meetings
are
being
held
in
order
to
ensure
that
we
can
get
out
to
the
whole
community
and
have
the
opportunity
for
the
community
to
give
outreach
and
for
more
information,
definitely
check
out
the
city's
re-issuing
website.
There's
a
lot
of
great
content
there
and
multiple
ways
to
engage
and
be
a
part
of
the
process.
