A
A
C
Okay,
yeah,
there's
there's
this.
My
concerns
are
with
the
consent
calendar
there's
just
there
are
too
many
items
on
there
that
really
bear
the
need
for
discussion.
Some
of
them
have
to
do
with
zoning.
Some
of
them
just
have
to
do
with
space.
C
You
know
in
general
and
because
space
is
such
a
commodity
right
now.
The
ability
to
have
discussions
with
regard
to
those
kinds
of
policies
that
are
on
the
consent
calendar
would
allow
the
public
to
get
a
richer,
more
clear.
C
C
You
know
it's
it's.
We
really
have
to
see
because
we
do
a
disservice
to
the
community
and
to
into
ourselves
as
a
government
as
a
as
a
people
when
we
start
practicing
kind
of
totalitarian
practices,
meaning
just
a
complete
control
of
government,
complete
control
of
the
money
with
absolutely
no
kind
of
input
from
the
public.
The
individual
doesn't
get
erased
within
the
context
of
government.
The
individual
holds
their
integrity
as
the
citizen
that
is
being
affected
by
policy,
so
so
either.
C
That
is
a
fact
or
it's
a
lie,
but
that
has
to
be
put
on
the
record
if
that
is
a
fact
or
a
lot,
because
there
are
many,
many
individuals
when
you
put
them
together,
that
are
being
impacted
that
don't
have
the
time
to
come
to
these
meetings.
I
do
so.
I
know
that
I
probably
speak
for
at
least
a
couple
of
hundred
thousand
people
in
this
in
this
area
that
are
going
to
be
affected
directly
by
those
policies
that
are
going
through
the
consent.
Calendar.
A
Thank
you,
tom.
D
Oh,
thank
you
hi.
It's
gail
moorman
and
thank
you
vice
mayor
jones
and
the
committee,
I'm
gail
morman,
I'm
a
resident
of
the
hammond
park
neighborhood
and
I'm
speaking
on
item
10.2
regarding
the
letter
submitted
on
november
3rd
2021
by
mr
henry
cord,
the
representative
of
owners
of
the
property
at
1212-1224
winchester
boulevard.
D
We
request
that
both
the
rezoning
and
the
special
use
permit
be
deferred,
while
ownership
works
with
the
community
members
to
assess
acceptable
adjustments
so
that
the
use
aligns
with
what
was
designated
in
the
winchester
boulevard
urban
village
plan
for
these
smaller
shallow
parcels
fronting
winchester
boulevard.
Thank
you
for
your
consideration.
E
Hi,
thank
you
for
the
words
of
paul
soto.
It
is
a
representational
process
that
we
tend
to
work
in
and
live
in
in
this
society.
Good
luck!
How
we
can
make
that
representational
process
more
individual,
an
individual
form
of
democracy.
I
think
we
can
work
in
those
ways
and
paul,
and
I
are
trying
our
best
to
do
that.
It
does
take
a
lot
of
work
and
effort
and
hopefully
we're
finding
ways
to
make
it
easier
for
others
to
make
it
an
accessible
community
process
in
the
future.
E
I
wanted
to
comment
on.
I
think
3.7
is
about
a
city
roadmap.
First
quarter
update
and
I
just
wanted
to
you
know
thank
you
for
your
patience
in
all.
I'm
I've
been
trying
to
explain
how
we
have
to
possibly
plan
you
know,
for
you
know
this
next
year
in
comparison
to
say,
2023
and
how
that
there's
different
planning
techniques
that
may
be
involved,
and
that
will
be
different
than
say,
2024
and
25..
E
I'm
trying
to
learn
how
to
speak
in
these
terms
and
make
things
open
and
clear
yet
respectable
in
how
to
describe
what
we
may
or
may
not
have
to
be.
Considering
for
the
year
of
2023.,
so
again,
thank
you
for
your
patience
for
myself
with
that,
I
think,
if
we're
open
with
ourselves,
that's
the
most
important
thing,
and
that
makes
for
better
choices
in
how
we
can
plan
and
how
we
can
consider
what
is
our
city
road
map?
What
is
our
tree
canopy
future?
E
What
is
the
future
of
reed
hill
reed
hill
view
airport
and
matters
like
that?
So
good
luck,
how
we
plan
we
can
talk
openly
about
issues
of
planning.
It
shouldn't
be
a
fearful
subject,
it
shouldn't
be
taboo,
but
it
is,
and
I
hope
we
can
learn
how
to
make
it
a
more
open,
honest
conversation
for
ourselves.
A
Thank
you.
That's
all
the
public
comments
bring
it
back
to
the
committee.
Councilmember
peralos
go
ahead.
F
Yeah,
thank
you
vice
mayor,
my
main
request
is
around
a
time
certain
for
item
10.3.
I
know
it's
a
media
issue,
it's
going
to
attract
a
lot
of
attention,
and
so
I
wanted
to
see
if
we
can
get
a
time
certain
on
that,
I'm
finding
it
hard
myself
to
kind
of
gauge
what
the
what
the
day
might
look
like,
though,
so
I
don't
want
to
make
it.
I
think
too
too
late
in
the
evening,
but
I
I
was
requested
if
we
can
have
it
you
know
later.
So
I
don't
know.
F
A
F
Sure,
thank
you
actually,
I
I
think
council
member
corrales
has
the
kind
of
right
idea.
I
think
five
o'clock
I
there
are
some
issues
that
it
could
take
us
a
while
to
work
through
and
at
least
with
pointing
out
five
o'clock.
If
you
do
take
a
break,
you
guys
have
typically
done
a
half
an
hour,
so
it
doesn't
leave
people
waiting
versus.
If
you
make
it
any
later,
there
could
be
a
gap
if
you
work
through
some
of
these
fairly
quickly.
F
A
Okay
on
to
meeting
schedule
and
see.
E
Hi,
thank
you
to
try
to
comment
quickly
on
the
report
yesterday
about
future
investing
and
you
know,
retirement
planning
and
and
all
that
good
stuff.
You
know
it's
my
feeling.
It's
it's
fairly
common
knowledge
that
sometime
within
the
next
year,
yes,.
A
Sorry
for
interrupting,
can
you
speak
specifically
to
the
scheduling.
E
Well,
I'm
thinking
the
the
scheduling
of
the
item
is
talking
about
our
past
four
years
and
what
would
be
what
we
considering
in
issues
of
the
bond
issues
that
we've
been
you
know
trying
to
procure
and
grow
for
ourselves,
and
I
wanted
to
comment
on
our
bond
issues
that
we've
been
trying
to
build
over
the
past
four
years.
The.
A
E
E
Is
it
isn't
bond
issues
within
within
the
four-year
plan.
E
Oh
well,
I
guess
I'm
wrong,
then
I
thought
it
would
be
a
more
encompassing
set
of
things.
So
if
this
is
land
use,
maybe
around
cody
valley
issues
is
that
what
is
this
is
more
of
about?
Potentially,
okay,
sorry,
thank
you
to
come
back
to
this
point.
Then
yeah
good
luck
with
coyote
valley
issues.
E
You
know
I
I'm
really
for
the
environmental
side
of
things,
and
actually
there
will
be
some
technology
and
and
data
collection
involved
with
this,
and
I
hope
you
know
you'll
be
considering
open
public
policies
that
can
always
be
of
help
for
this
project
and
measure.
T
will
be
a
part
of
this
project,
so
good
luck
to
open
public
policy
ideas
with
it.
Thank
you.
B
You're
welcome
paul.
C
Let's
pause
the
the
issues
with
land
use
until
we
until
we
as
a
city,
deal
with
the
redlining
issues
that
have
happened:
okay
and
use
that
as
the
measure
by
which
we
make
decisions
with
regard
to
land
use.
C
Okay,
I
I've,
given
you
copious
amounts
of
information
with
regard
to
eufenix
and
eugenics.
Okay,
these
are
principles
that
are
being
applied
to
the
city
right
now,
but
these
are
very,
very
high
level,
very
sophisticated
types
of
sciences.
Okay,
this
isn't
for
the
regular
average
person.
Now
chris
burton
got
his
education.
C
He
is
educated
college-educated
around
those
issues-
okay,
I
I'm
self-educated,
but
that
does
not
impugn
the
the
the
merit,
the
validity
or
the
the
legitimacy
of
the
information
that
I'm
bringing,
because
I
ain't
got
no
alphabet
behind
my
name:
okay,
I'm
bringing
my
city
information
and
there's
this
willful
rejection
of
it.
The
redlining
maps
must
be
used
or
when
you
use
the
word
equity
in
your
documents.
C
B
B
B
B
F
E
Hi,
thank
you.
Hopefully
you
know
to
speak
to
tessa's
letter
tesla
spoke
of
single
family
zoning
issues
and
the
like
and
or
someone
did
no,
no,
I'm
sorry,
it
wasn't
tessa.
It
was
someone
else
regarding
single
family
zoning,
a
person
wrote.
I
just
wanted
to
comment.
E
That
is
the
previous
item
that
was
about
housing
planning,
basically,
and
if
it
is
to
quickly
offer
that
you
know
just
to
go
over
my
my
feelings
of
things,
my
love
for
eli,
vli
and
mixed
income
ideas
and
the
importance
of
what
mixed
income
can
offer
in
terms
of
flexibility
and
choices.
E
E
It
allows
for
just
you
know
some
income
residents
of
lower
income
to
be
mixed
in
into
you,
know
more
affluent
neighborhoods,
and
it
just
allows
an
incredible
array
of
choices
for
ourselves
that
I
I
think
it
can
really
temper
the
anger
that
people
are
feeling
at
this
time
and
the
confusion
that
city
government
is
feeling
and
how
to
create
better
housing
solutions
for
ourselves.
And
so
good
luck
with
this
item.
I
it's
really
important.
The
mtc
has
schedules
you
know
to
work
on
this
stuff
at
the
end
of
the
decade.
E
I
think
we
can
work
on
it
now
and
always
be
considering
you
know.
The
differences
between
2022
and
2023
is
important
and
what
that
planning
needs
to
be.
So
thanks
for
your
time
and
patience
with
myself
and
thank
you.
C
All
right
wait:
okay,
yeah
paul
soto
from
the
horseshoe,
martha
o'connell's
letter
that
she
submitted.
Thank
you
first
of
all,
martha
for
submitting
that
letter.
I
would
I
would
advise
vice
mayor
if
you
can
read
it,
it
talks
about
the
legal
compelled
speech
that
we
as
citizens
cannot
be
told
what
we
can
say
or
what
we
can't
say
within
a
democracy.
It's
very
clear.
C
The
the
the
ruling
came
down
by
justice
roberts
and
what
it
says
is
compelled
speech
like
when
we're
talking
in
a
democracy
and
we're
we're
conversing
about
the
issues
that
affect
the
us
as
a
whole
that
compelled
speech
this.
The
the
censorship
against
compelled
speech.
It's
it's
it's
just
not
it's
not
legal!
It
doesn't
it
doesn't
so
so
that
means
that
there
are
powers
that
are
being
exercised
that
are
illegitimate.
C
That
kind
of
power
to
exercise
in
a
democracy
is
illegitimate,
and
so
I
would
ask
you
if
you
could.
Please
read
that
and
if
other
council
members
can
read
martha's
letter,
because
it's
very
it's
very
clear,
it's
succinct.
It's
explicit
a
lot
of
the
issues
inside
these
the
letters
to
the
po.
The
letters
to
the
city
are
land
issues.
C
You
know
I
mean
come
on.
Look
look
at
the
map
the
redistricting
map,
all
district
six
takes
over
the
horseshoe.
They
didn't
want
anything
to
do
with
that
area.
Absolutely,
in
fact,
I
grew
up
in
d11.
D11
is
the
lowest
possible
grade
that
you
could
have
got
on
that
redlining
map?
Okay,
you
have
a
citizen
from
that
barrio
that
lived
all
of
his
life
in
that
barrio
right
here
in
the
city
government
participating
in
government,
but
yet
he
is
rejected.
That's
not
a
reflection
of
me.
The
reflection,
the
reflection
is
on
the
government.
C
Why
is
the
government
so
so
rejecting
somebody
that
has
all
the
information
about
that
barrio?
Everything
in
it
because
I
lived
it.
A
Thank
you
person
with
the
number
ending
in
4963.
G
Yeah
martha
o'connell,
I'd
like
to
quote
from
my
letter,
no
official,
high
or
petty,
can
prescribe
what
shall
be
orthodox
in
politics,
nationalism,
religion
or
other
matters
of
opinion
or
force
citizens
to
confess
by
word
or
act
their
faith.
Therein
give
you
an
update.
I
posted
in
spotlight
yesterday
in
response
to
article
by
ray
branson,
a
former
city
employee,
and
I
stated
branson
is
again
using
ad
hominem
arguments
to
demonize
the
quote:
angry
selfish,
unquote,
residents,
who
use
quote
vicious
propaganda
and
dangerous
hateful
rhetoric,
unquote
to
pedal
quote
rubbish.
G
I
have
had
a
quote
homeless
advocate,
unquote,
scream
and
yell
at
me
in
my
neighborhood.
Follow
me
down
the
corridors
of
the
city
council
screaming
and
threatening
I've
had
another
advocate
come
up
to
me
after
I
spoke
and
say
in
a
very
menacing
way.
I
don't
like
what
you
said,
so
I
would
appreciate
it
if
the
council
members
would
remind
the
staff
of
whatever
art
departments
they
are
in
that
we
are
supposed
to
have
a
broad
representative
representation
of
viewpoints
and
they
should
not
be
mandating
what
people
are.
A
Okay,
thank
you
for
that
motion.
Second,
that
blair
did
get
his
hand
up
just
in
the
nick
of
time,
so
go
ahead.
Blur
hi,
thank
you,
and
this
is
specifically
related
to
the
items
or
in
the
consent.
Calendar.
E
Correct
these
are
four
items
are
on
the
consent:
go
a
b
c
d
e
or
a
b
c
d,
a
b
c
d
yeah.
I
think
there
is
an
e2
actually
yeah.
One
of
the
item
item
for
my
eyesight
is
good.
I
wanted
to
talk
about
the
the
the
the
chinese
apology
issues
and
just
to
I
hope
this
is
on
the
consent,
calendar
and
just
to
correct
me.
If
I'm
wrong,
thank
you
and,
and
the
work
that
took
place
yesterday
at
city
council
about
the
statue
issue.
E
B
E
Oh
yeah,
oh
shoot;
okay,
well,
yeah,
okay,
you're,
right
all
right,
so
yeah.
I
wanted
to
comment
that
for
as
much
as
the
work
that
we've
been
doing
with
the
fallon
statue
issue
and
for
the
importance
of
this
apology
issue
that
I
thank
you
very
much
for
we
have
issues
that
you
know
were
spoken
about
at
the
time
of
the
apology
that
we're
basically
still
practicing
to
this
day.
You
know
on
issues
that
it's
a
difficult
nut
in
this
country.
E
What
we,
how
we
work
on
it
like
say,
language
issues.
How
do
we
talk
about
language
issues
on
zoom?
For
instance,
you
know
english
only
laws.
B
All
right,
paul.
C
Yes,
paul
soto
from
the
horseshoe
I
want
to
thank
it
shows
that
the
city
does
have
a
moral
compass
and
that
the
moral
compass
does
need
to
be
reckoned
with.
You
know,
and
and
that's
good
you
know,
so
I
appreciate
the
work
that
perales
put
in
to
acknowledging
the
chinese,
but
I
would
like
to
say
one
thing
is
that
that
came
out
of
the
racial
equity
office.
I
was
there
when
that
office
was
just
just
an
idea.
C
It
was
just
an
idea
followed
it
all
the
way
through
the
budget
one
they
wanted
to
give
a
hundred
or
two
hundred
thousand
dollar
seed
money.
We
got
it
up
to
nearly
a
million
dollars
so
that
it
so
that
work
could
be
done.
There
was
no
chinese
at
any
of
those
meetings
the
what
what
what
what
compelled
the
racial
equity
office
to
begin
with
was
using
the
devil
in
silicon
valley
as
the
premise
that
was
the
premise
for
opening
the
the
the
office.
C
C
This
is
this
in
itself
is
a
moral
and
ethical
issue,
and
I
think
that
I
think
that
as
a
citizen
that
suffer
everything
that
is
in
that
book,
that
I
think
I
deserve
an
answer
from
the
from
from
paralysis
as
to.
Why
is
it
that
there
was
no
chinese
in
that
room?
There
was
no
chinese
arguing
for
the
budget.
C
There
was
no
chinese
that
they
cared
about
the
mexican
issues,
but
yet
a
person
that
is
written
in
every
single
one
of
those
pages
of
the
devil
in
silicon
valley
that
the
mexican,
the
chicano,
that
we
have
not
received
nothing,
no
public
acknowledgements,
no
public
and-
and
I
want
the
acknowledgement
not
only
but
not
only
publicly
but
within
the
policy,
because
that's
where
the
racism
is
man
there's
like
I
said
you
don't
fight
it
on
a
street
corner
with
a
sign.
A
B
E
Right,
thank
you.
Thank
you.
Where's
first
boy,
I'm
trying
my
darndest
here
I'm
way
behind
in
how
to
better
understand
issues,
but
thank
you
for
your
patience,
I'm
trying
to
learn
as
as
best
and
most
as
I
can,
and
you
know
to
try
to
say
I.
E
I
still
feel
that
from
the
from
the
era
this
from
the
chinese
exclusion
act,
we
still
have
you
know
english-only
laws
and
and
job-related
issues
that
we're
still
pretty
much
living
with
to
this
day
and
that
are
pretty
much
the
norm
for
ourselves
in
how
we
debate
issues-
and
I
just
hope
there
can
be
a
openness
in
that
debate
and
and
a
work
towards
our
more
progressive
selves
and
that's
important
concept
at
this
time-
that
I
hope
the
chinese
apology
can
help
work
towards
for
all
of
us.
E
I
feel
empathy
for
martha
o'connell
and
good
luck
in
her
efforts
to
be
better
understood.
I'm
I
have
my
own
troubles
with
the
issue.
I
hope
a
progressive
community
cannot
be
so
dismissive
in
the
future.
I
think
the
vaccine
process
has
taught
us
all
of
us
an
important
lesson
that
we
can't
just
as
easily
dismiss
things
as
we
used
to
be
able
to,
and
it's
just
a
respect
for
ourselves
and
each
other's
ideas
and
opinions.
If
that
can
take
place
in
san
jose
in
the
coming
months.
E
That's
all
that's
asked
for,
I
think
of
ourselves
and
and
not
to
go
over
the
deep
edge
when
you
hear
another
person's
point
of
view
that
you
don't
fully
agree
with
that,
actually
takes
a
lot
of
practice.
So
good
luck,
how
we
can
do
that
and
yeah
I
I
mean
I
I
think
we
arrived
at
some
really
interesting
decisions
at
last
night's
city
council
meeting
that
I
think
is
going
to
be
one
for
the
ages.
E
Basically,
so
good
luck,
how
we
work
on
issues,
equity,
women's
right
to
choose
issues
and
yeah
thanks
for
the
meeting,
and
thanks
for
your
patience
with
myself.
C
Yes,
paul
soto
from
the
horseshoe.
My
comments
are
directed
to
councilwoman
davis,
the
work
that
I
do
in
the
city
and
it's
a
copious
amount
of
it's
a
large
body
of
work.
I've
worked
with
private
groups.
I've
worked
with
the
with
the
colleges
that
the
reason
why
I
do
what
I
do
is
in
the
hopes
that
that
degree
of
humility
that
you
displayed
yesterday
would
be
practiced
on
a
larger
scale.
C
C
You
need
to
work
with
us
and
trust
us
that
we're
not
trying
to
impugn
your
your
race
or
your
economic
status
or
anything,
but
but
there
does
have
to
be
an
acceptance
and
an
accountability
that
that
particular
area
that
you
represent
is
the
primary
beneficiary
of
all
of
the
economic
deprivations
and
the
school
types
of
education
we
received
in
school
and
then
how
the
children
were
treated
in
schools
at
that
time
that
that
that
just
has
to
be
accounted
for,
because
if
we
don't
do
that,
we
deprive
ourselves
of
the
moral
of
the
of
the
moral
authority
to
exercise
see.
C
Because
how
can
you
make
decisions
on
equity?
If
you
haven't
sensitized
yourself
to
the
people
that
have
experienced
the
inequity
and
what
you
displayed
yesterday
is
the
reason
why
I
do
the
work
is
because
you
showed
that
you
know
what
I
I
don't
know
I'm
trying
to
understand.
But
I
don't
you
know
and-
and
that
to
me
was
was
more
gratifying
than
any
other
thing.
That
was
ever
said
on
the
guys.
A
A
A
Let's
come
back
to
gary
brian.
E
H
Nice-
and
it
was
true
too,
I
I
that
was
some
tough
discussion
yesterday
and
I
really
appreciated
what
people
were
sharing
and
I
it's
about
trusting,
but
I
just
want
to
let
folks
know
that
you
know
in
san
jose
I
mean
I'm
male,
I'm
white,
I'm
single
and
I'm
you
know
older.
H
H
If
you
don't,
if
you
hate
to
say
it,
but
if
you're
not
rich
and
you
don't
have
a
lot
of
power
or
money
you're,
you
know
you
only
have
numbers
and
with
me
that's
one
thing,
but
I
mean
with
the
folks:
I've
worked
with
people
with
developmental
disabilities,
some
categories,
but
some
people
in
certain
categories,
the
unemployment
rate
is
85
to
90
and
the
poverty
level
is
equal
to
any
or
surpasses
any
other
particular
group
of
folks
and
that's
the
population
that
gets
left
behind,
and
you
know
I
think
it's
important
that
we
understand
that
because
we're
all
just
one
incident
away
from
being
somebody
with
a
disability,
just
your
back
god
forbid,
but
a
stroke
or
chemical
imbalance,
or
anything
like
that,
and
and
it's
not
bound
by
your
your
abilities
or
by
your
your
religion
or
any
other
stuff.
H
I
Thank
you
good
afternoon,
everybody,
scott
largent.
I
I
really
appreciated
what
paul
had
to
say.
Also.
This
is
very
important
information
to
understand
the
history
of
san
jose,
the
good,
the
bad
and
the
ugly
and
paul
kind
of
lays
it
out
puts
it
on
the
table.
Some
people
don't
want
to
hear
it.
I
sure
want
to
hear
it.
I
I
also
am
doing
a
little
more
research
on
my
end
out
here
in
the
crash
zone,
kind
of
figuring
out
the
history
of
what
really
happened
when
this
area
was
intimate
domain,
you
know
kind
of
what
happened.
I've
even
met
families
that
used
to
live
out
here,
which
is
very
interesting.
I
I'm
really
trying
to
understand
everybody
out
here.
I
am
one
of
the
residents
out
here
in
the
somewhat
the
largest
homeless
encampment
in
the
states,
and
I
guess
what
I'm
trying
to
do.
It's
not
necessarily
that
I'm
trying
to
talk
to
the
public
right
here.
I
Council
members
need
to
start
understanding
that
the
promises
that
are
made
by
non-profit
home
first
they're
not
happening,
and
I
talk
about
this
other
advocates-
talk
about
it.
Let's
just
go
off
of
a
prime
example.
Right
now,
mechanics
home
first
was
supposed
to
supply
mechanics.
Now
we're
not
saying
rebuild
an
entire
rv
rebuild
the
motor.
This
was
just
to
help.
People
get
on
their
way
same.
Things
were
supposed
to
happen
out
the
apple
encampment.
I
And
stopped
calling
people
back.
Okay,
I
cannot
find
a
single
person
out
here
at
the
crash
zone
war
that
used
to
be
out
the
apple
encampment
that
had
a
mechanic
help
them
that's
one
home
first
line
and
they're,
not
social
workers
and
they're,
not
therapists
and
they're,
not
the
go-to
to
call
in
situations
like
that.
A
All
right,
that
is
it
for
public
comments,
so
this
meeting
is
adjourned.
Have
a
good
rest
of
your
afternoon.
Everyone
take
care.
