Hi
dev
good
to
have
you
with
us
virtually
all
right,
we'll
begin,
then,
the
joint
meeting
for
rules,
an
open
government
comedian
Committee
for
the
whole
for
Wednesday
March
25th
as
a
result
of
changes
in
state
law,
from
the
governor's
order.
We
are
going
to
be
proceeding
differently,
as
we
have
been
for
this
week
with
all
meetings
we
are
providing.
Apparently
we
are
providing
public
access.
It
looks
like
for
for
for
for
public
comment
for
today.
A
Okay,
it
looks
like
that's
going
to
be
changing
because
we're
gonna
need
to
abide
by
some
state
and
county
rules,
so
we'll
certainly
perceive
now,
and
we
appreciate
everyone's
attending
to
and
abiding
by
all
of
the
physical
distancing
rules,
as
we
continue
to
try
to
ensure
we
have
public
awareness
and
access.
At
the
same
time
that
we
keep
people
safe,
we
have
a
quorum.
I
know
that
council
member
Davis
is
on
the
line
and
all
four
of
the
remainder
members
remaining
members
of
the
committee
are
present.
So
we
still
do.
Okay,
all.
C
A
C
Just
want
to
note
that
the
very
first
page
of
both
call
to
order
we're
going
to
have
a
very
long
side
action
explaining
to
the
public
how
they
can
access
the
meeting
through
for
just
watching
for
submitting
public
comments,
both
verbally
and
written,
and
that
will
be
out
on
the
agenda
on
Friday.
So
everybody
will
have
every
thing
they
need.
A
Three
point:
three
is
just
acceptance
of
a
report
right,
there's,
no
action,
that's
the
estimated
budgetary
impacts
of
kovat;
that's
correct;
okay,
great
thanks
Dave,
and
what
I'm
going
to
do?
I
think
with
rules
committee.
Approval
is
I'd
like
to
hear
three
point,
one
first
before
consent
just
to
ensure
that
oh
yeah,
that's
already
marked
there.
Okay.
D
C
C
F
A
G
C
A
A
Okay,
all
right,
we
don't
have
much
on
this
agenda.
Do
we
except
number
two,
which
is
proposal,
form
Council
members,
Esparza,
Carrasco
and
arenas,
and
that
relates
to
paid
sick
leave
ordinance,
and
we
had
some
discussion
last
week,
I've
since
submitted
a
memorandum
as
well.
That
reflects
my
thoughts
as
well.
I
know
a
staff
has
submitted
a
memorandum
as
well
and
I
think
we're
hopefully
going
to
bring
this
to
some
conclusion
before
the
council.
G
I
Hello,
my
name
is
Christina
of
eto
Terrace
I
am
a
Mexican
American
women
woman
who
opened
her
business.
Two
years
ago,
my
parents
were
farm
workers
and
when
my
mother
became
ill
with
cancer
from
pesticides
from
the
fields
I
stopped
going
to
school,
to
take
care
of
her
I
was
only
11
years
old
going
to
school,
I
was
only
11
years
old
and
was
still
difficult
to
go
to
school,
but
not
impossible.
I
care
for
my
mother
for
five
years.
I
Fighting
for
cancer
I
was
a
single
mother
with
three
children
working
hard
to
survive
to
make
ends
meet,
but
I
had
a
dream.
I
have
a
small
business
that
provides
commercial
janitorial
cleaning,
I
decided
to
start
my
business
to
spend
time
with
my
family,
because
my
job
was
causing
long
hours
and
stress
to
my
family
right
now.
My
business
is
slow,
it's
not
generating
income,
and
my
employees
know
how
critical
this
is
in
the
crisis.
I
There
are
no
working
hours
to
give
them
I
give
what
I
can
I
also
gave
them
the
city
city
San,
Jose,
resources
that
are
available
for
this
crisis.
I
was
thinking
of
giving
them
a
bonus,
but
I
came,
but
it
became
but
I
can't
because
I
have
business
lease
loans
to
pay
and
eventually
IRS
taxes,
my
husband
not
earning
income.
He
has
stopped
working.
I
So
now
we
are
depending
on
my
two
children,
to
support
our
home
pay.
Our
rent
bills
and
personal
expenses.
I
have
to
save
every
penny
because
I
don't
know
how
long
this
will
last,
it's
scary,
not
to
know
if
my
business
will
continue
or
recover
and
as
hard
as
it
is
to
say
this,
paying
two
weeks
of
mandatory
sick
faith
will
be
a
financial
burden.
So
please
don't
do
not
move
forward
with
mandatory
sick
pay
because
it
puts
it
puts
me
out
of
business.
I
Good
afternoon
my
name
is
Connie.
Alvarez
and
I
represent
three
businesses
on
Santa,
Clara,
Street
and
I'm
here
to
find
out
more
about
the
proposed
sick
pay
leave.
I
know
right
now,
it's
three
days
that
we
are
mandatory
by
law
to
give
to
our
employees,
but
with
the
situation
that's
happening,
I
wanted
to
know.
How
is
this
gonna
help
our
employees
and
our
businesses
I
also
belong
to
the
Allen
Rock
Santa
Clara
Business
Association
I'm
vice
president
and
I.
I
You
know
we
represent
230
businesses
that
are
from
Allen
rock
all
the
way
to
Santa
Clara
Street,
which
are
small
businesses
that
only
have
five
employees
I
mean
we're
not
making
any
money
right
now
so
I'm
here
to
get
the
information
that
it's
that's
gonna,
help
us
and
help
our
employees
also
because
we're
in
it
together.
Thank.
A
G
Thank
You
Marion
council
I'd
like
to
thank
the
mayor
for
his
submission
this
morning.
Certainly
council
members
arenas
as
far
as
in
Carrasco
for
their
their
their
proposal.
Thank
you
all
for
joining
the
growing
movement
of
San
Jose
residents
that
want
to
see
some
kind
of
paid
sick
leave
of
forward.
We
have
a
unique
opportunity.
G
As
a
city,
the
federal
government
has
offered
for
businesses
with
less
than
500
employees
to
be
able
to
provide
100%
repayment
on
a
quarterly
basis,
through
tax
credits,
fully
refundable,
through
payroll
taxes
for
those
that
provide
up
to
14
days
of
paid
sick
leave,
it's
a
unique
opportunity.
We
have
a
unique
challenge:
let's
not
miss
the
moment
to
do
everything
we
can
in
this
hour
to
stem
the
tide.
I
think
it's
important
to
think.
That
is
a
virus
that
doesn't
discriminate.
G
It
doesn't
discriminate
by
the
number
of
employees
an
employer
has
it
doesn't
discriminate
by
what
your
HR
handbook
says
you
should
have
in
maximum
accrual.
It
doesn't
discriminate
by
whether
a
particular
employer
misclassifies
folks
as
independent
contractors.
It
should
be
employees.
We
need
a
policy
that
reflects
the
public
health
challenge
and
that
means
being
very
specific
about
finding
guests.
G
We
want
to
support
our
small
businesses,
but
if
they
have
an
opportunity
to
be
able
to
seek
a
refundable
tax
credit
on
a
quarterly
basis,
let's,
let's
protect
the
community
and
the
health
of
our
business
owners
and
of
our
employees
by
supporting.
Yes,
let's
require
this,
but
let's
help
folks
who
need
help
with
the
quiddity
we
have
philanthropy.
We
have
three
hundred
fifty
billion
dollars
in
SBA
loans
that
are
gonna
be
put
forward
by
the
federal
government.
G
D
As
some
of
the
implications
that
are
happening
about
this
pity
County
and
the
state,
it's
been
nearly
impossible
to
find
that
information.
So
if
we
should
be
able
to
get
that
if
it's
forward
but
for
the
most
part,
I
really
hope
that
you
guys
would
be
able
to
spot
this
and
I
could
go
back
to
work
and
find
you
to
ensure
that
my
employees
have
a
job
coming
in.
D
Good
afternoon,
mayor
and
council
people,
dr.
Ron
Benson
I'm,
a
local
chiropractor
I've,
been
practicing
in
Berryessa
for
over
34
years.
As
a
doctor,
we
all
reach
out
to
help
people,
or
we
cancel
I-
want
to
thank
you
for
looking
at
this
thing,
because
trying
to
take
care
of
the
people
that
need
help
right
now
is
just
I.
Thank
you
for
looking
at
that.
Hopefully,
this
crazy
time
will
pass
sooner
rather
than
later,
but
I
also
want
to
ask
you
to
look
at
this
as
a
small
business.
D
Next
week,
April
1st
I
have
to
wake
up,
make
payroll
make
rent
make
my
other
payments
buy.
Business
right
now
is
down
about
70
percent,
from
where
it
was
two
weeks
ago
and
lease
I'm
still
open
I'm,
providing
essential
health
care
by
the
state
of
California,
the
federal
government.
So
many
of
these
businesses
are
already
closed
down.
I
hope
that
they'll
be
able
to
reopen.
D
How
long
can
this
thing
go
on
with
no
income
and
I
totally
want
to
thank
you
again
for
looking
out
for
the
people
that
need
financial
assistance,
but
you
have
to
also
look
out
for
these
small
business
people.
In
my
practice,
I've
had
at
least
40
families
move
out
of
the
state
in
the
past
year
due
to
financial
concern.
D
If
you
notice
most
taxes
did
not
pass
in
this
last
election.
People
can't
afford
this.
A
small
business
cannot
afford
to
have
additional
mandated
payments.
We
need
to
provide
for
our
employees,
I'm
I'm,
trying
to
keep
my
employees
employed
I'm,
trying
to
keep
myself
employed,
I'm
least
I'm
open.
So
I
asked
you
to
really
not
just
consider
the
people
that
are
out
of
work,
their
needs,
sick,
pegs
and
and
remember.
The
governor
has
laid
the
weak
on
unemployment
the
week
on
disability.
They
can
get
immediate
payments,
so
please
take
into
account.
D
B
Thank
you
very
much,
I'm.
Also
a
chiropractor
dr.
grace
Laos
been
in
practice
for
a
couple
of
decades
and
it's
always
a
struggle
when
you're,
a
single
business
owner
and
with
all
the
taxes
that
we
have
to
pay
and
payroll
and
payroll
taxes,
and
then
asking
us
to
pay
for
two
weeks
of
paid
sick
leave
would
be
an
undue
burden.
As
dr.
Benson
said,
his
practices
down
my
sponsors
have
also
down.
We
do
provide
a
central
health
care
because
people
need
to
get
their
nervous
systems
realigned
because
we
got
to
keep
them
off
those
opioids.
B
We've
got
a
lot
of
patients.
My
personally
have
a
lot
of
patients.
Who've
lost
jobs
during
this
time
and
can't
afford
to
pay
to
work.
I'm
Jacob,
oh
no,
but
I
still
have
bills.
We
still
have
bills
to
pay
and
to
ask
us
to
pay
more
for
the
paid
sick
leave
will
be
very
difficult
and
I
think
to
shut
my
doors
and
I
know.
I
have
other
colleagues
are
in
the
same
position.
Thank
you.
Thank.
J
The
committee
here
regarding
the
significant
burden
that
I
see
in
complying
with
this
type
of
mandate
as
it
stands
right
now.
The
federal
law
6201
does
create
an
exemption
for
small
businesses
and
I'd
like
to
address
the
tax
credit
that
keeps
getting
brought
up.
There
are
exemptions
potentially
for
small
business
owners,
but
the
way
that
those
small
business
owners
would
go
about
that
and
the
paperwork
that
would
be
required
to
apply
for
that.
J
J
So
that
is
again
what
I
not
I,
do
not
consider
a
reasonable
fix
at
this
point
and
something
that
is
being
shifted
to
the
small
business
owner
who's
really
trying
to
focus
on
keeping
their
business
open
and
take
care
of
their
employees.
I'm
very
conflicted
about
this,
because
my
employees
I
feel
like
they're,
my
part
of
my
family
and,
if
I
have
to
let
them
go,
which
may
be
the
reality
if
something
to
this
effect
goes
through,
that'll
be
that'll.
Hurt
me
on
a
personal
level
as
well
as
a
business
level,
and
so
I
know.
J
J
Hi,
everyone
hope
everybody's
doing
good
today,
but
I
was
not
supposed
to
spoke
about
it
or
talked
about
this,
but
I've
been
hearing
what's
going
on
when
I
lay
my
employees
go
ten
days
ago,
because
we
closed
we're
now
going
to
be
able
to
to
be
open
in
the
area
we
are
so
when
I
told
them,
we
closing
the
doors.
Hopefully
these
go
soon.
J
J
A
You
thank
you
dolphin
appreciate
all
the
folks
who
came
forward
to
speak
today
in
the
community.
I've
had
a
lot
of
feedback
as
well
as
we
reached
out,
and
particularly
to
small
businesses,
to
understand
how
this
would
or
would
not
impact
them.
So
I
just
wanted
to
clarify
a
few
things
before
we
move
on.
First,
there
is
already
a
federal
mandate,
there's
a
federal
mandate
that
all
businesses
provide
80
hours
paid
sick
leave.
There
are
some
odd
holes
in
that
mandate,
one
for
businesses
that
employ
more
than
500
employees.
A
That
is
utterly
puzzling
to
me
as
to
why
there
would
be
a
hole
that
is
no
requirement
for
large
businesses
and
there
is
a
potential
exemption
for
businesses
under
50,
where
they
show
hardship.
I,
don't
believe.
That's
a
blanket
exemption
is
that
right,
Suzanne,
it's
yeah,
so
so
even
small
businesses
who
think
they
might
be
exempt,
there's
a
good
chance.
You
may
not
be
because
it's
a
process,
I
assume.
A
Right,
yeah,
okay,
so
I
just
want
everyone
to
understand
sort
of
what
the
playing
field
looks
like
right
now,
based
on
the
FF
CRA,
which
is
the
law
that
passed
just
in
the
last
couple
weeks.
I'm
very
mindful
I
think
as
dr.
dieter
dieter
mentioned,
that
you
know
the
tax
credits
are
hardly
the
the
solution.
We
need
to
do
everything
we
can
to
help
make
it
easy
for
folks
to
be
able
to
qualify,
assuming
they
can
use
a
tax
credit.
A
We
know
that
only
helps
if
you
actually
have
revenue
net
revenue
and
that's
not
a
reality
for
many
of
our
businesses
right
now.
So
we
have
to
be
mindful
of
that
and
how
do
we
make
it
easier
for
folks
to
get
access
to
small
business
assistance,
loans
and
other
programs,
including
the
the
philanthropic
program?
A
We
have
through
Silicon
Valley
strong
org
with
some
corporate
contribution,
so
we
obviously
need
everything
we
can
as
a
city
to
help
ease
that
burden
on
small
businesses
and
I
know
Adolfo
Gomez,
who
are
no
well
and
obviously
breaks
my
heart
to
hear
that
their
doors
are
closed.
We
know
this
is
the
reality
from
so
many
of
our
small
businesses
right
now,
but
my
understanding
is
under
the
current
federal
law
and
under
what
we're
proposing.
There
would
not
be
an
impact
for
a
business.
That's
not
operating.
A
This
is
only
for
essential
businesses
that
are,
in
fact
employing
people.
The
point
of
this
is
not
to
provide
regulation
to
business
or
to
create
new
labor
regulation.
The
point
of
this
is
strictly
addressed
to
the
health
impacts
that
we
are
concerned
about
it
as
a
result
of
people
coming
to
work,
who
might
be
sick,
who
might
be
transmitting
the
disease,
and
so
this
is
simply
a
public
health
mandate.
A
The
point
of
this
is
to
provide
assurance
so
that
any
employee
who
is
facing
that
choice
of
knowing
they
either
are
going
to
have
to
stay
home
and
forgo
a
paycheck
or
show
up
at
work
potentially
infecting
others,
make
the
right
decision
and
stay
home,
and
that's
the
intent
here,
at
least
in
terms
of
my
intent.
I
assume
that's
the
intent
of
the
framers
who
brought
this
forward,
who
will
go
to
in
just
a
moment,
and
that
is
where
we're
trying
to
be
focused.
So
I
appreciate
the
concerns
that
Dahl
fo
has
raised.
A
I
know
I've
heard
from
many
others
and
I'll
just
raise
a
couple
of
those
points,
particularly
about
what
not
there's
going
to
be
some
pay
out
of
this
paid
sick
leave
on
termination
and
that
my
understanding
is,
if
we're
doing
this,
for
a
public
health
mandate.
That
is
not
the
point
of
this,
so
there
would
be
no
payout.
This
is
simply
to
ensure
that
people
get
paid
if
they're
sick.
A
This
is
not
a
windfall
to
someone
that
they
that
may
get
a
sick
leave
payout
after
after
they're
done
with
their
work,
it
would
apply
to
folks
qualify
for
sick
leave
under
the
basis.
Identifying
the
FFC
are
a
federal
legislation
that
includes
very
broadly
folks,
maybe
caring
for
children,
for
example,
who
are
no
longer
able
to
go
to
daycare
or
school.
So
obviously,
it's
very
broad
should
apply
very
broadly,
but
there
are
six
bases
that
are
identified
in
the
FF
CRA
legislation.
A
I
think
would
be
a
good
idea
for
us
to
stick
to
those,
because
there
may
be
issues
are
unrelated
here
and
that's
not
what
this
is
about
and
I
know
there
were
some
questions
that
folks
had
around
one
of
the
exemptions
that
I
had
suggested
and
as
the
second
exemption
relating
to
businesses
that
are
not
essential
and
therefore
not
operating.
The
point
is
of
that
exemption
is
that
if
someone
doesn't
have
to
show
up
to
work
anyway,
there's
no
point
in
providing
paid
sick
leave.
A
C
Okay,
she
was
trying
to
call
in
so
hopefully
she
will
come
on
line
so
I.
Thank
you
mayor
for
clarifying
those
issues,
because
I
think
that
was
helpful.
It
sounds
like
there's
a
lot
of
misinformation
out
there
about
what
this
is
and
why
why
we're
doing
it
now,
I'd
also
like
to
clarify
that
we
brought
this
memo
forward
on
March
12th
prior
to
the
county
order
and
to
the
state
order
kind
of
an
in
anticipation
of
those
things
coming.
C
C
She
also
said
the
county
is
looking
at
tightening
the
order
or
extending
it,
which
I
believe
the
governor
addressed
and
why
he
left
the
state
order
open-ended,
and
she
said
very
explicitly
if
you're
developing
symptoms
stay
at
home.
If
you
need
supplies,
have
someone
get
them
for
you?
Do
not
mix
and
mingle,
and
so
this
is
issue
is
about
saving
lives.
C
Given
this
unprecedented
challenge
that
we're
all
facing-
and
we
are
all
in
it
together-
whether
we're
a
business,
a
worker
government,
employee,
I,
don't
think
coronavirus
cares,
who
you
are,
how
many
hours
you
put
in
I
wanted
to
bring
up
a
couple
of
items,
which
is
that
workers
do
need
sick
leave
now
and
they
need
two
weeks,
because
that
is
the
incubation
period,
given
the
guidelines
by
the
County
Public
Health
Office
and
by
the
CDC,
and
so
that's.
Why?
C
This
is
a
huge
challenge,
and
so
right
now
under
the
stimulus
package
in
the
Senate,
it
contains
about
350
billion
dollars
in
loans
for
small
business,
and
the
House
version
contains
500
billion
dollars
in
loans
and
grants,
and
so
part
of
what
the
City
Council
has
talked
about
is
being
able
to
connect
small
businesses.
How
we
can
provide
support
to
connect
small
businesses
with
those
resources
as
much
as
possible.
C
But
employees
of
small
businesses
are
just
as
likely
to
get
sick
as
employees
of
large
businesses
and
I
wanted
to
point
out
that
these
orders
could
go
on.
We
don't
know
when
this
will
end
and
so
I
think
we
need
to
acknowledge
the
reality
of
that
and
that
this
could
go
on
for
a
while,
as
we
recently
did
last
week
in
the
eviction
moratorium,
we
looked
at
both
short
term
and
longer
term
timeframes.
I
think
we
need
to
keep
that
in
mind.
C
As
we
talk
about
this
estimates
are
that
maybe
12
to
18
months
before
we
see
a
vaccine
I,
certainly
hope
that
does
not
happen,
but
that
is
something
we
need
to
be
mindful
of
and
last
night
the
Senate
came
to.
They
passed
an
aid
package
that
was
unprecedented
in
the
history
of
our
country
and
that
now
the
house
is
going
to
be
bringing
their
version
was
a
little
bit
more,
but
the
house
now
then
will
bring
that
forward
and
we
don't
know
how
long
that
will
take.
C
For
individuals
and
families,
a
$1,200
direct
payment
to
Americans,
making
up
to
75
thousand
per
year
with
$500
per
child
250
billion
dollars
in
unemployment,
insurance
benefits,
50
billion
dollars
in
employee
retention,
tax
credits,
150
billion
dollars
for
hospitals
and
medical
centers
to
handle
surging
caseloads
and
there's
more,
including
a
dish,
help
for
food
stamps,
health,
centers,
HUD,
housing
and
others.
I
think
this
is
an
issue
of
enormous
magnitude
and
we
cannot
wait.
It
falls
as
usual.
C
It
falls
on
us
in
local
government,
where
the
town
square,
where,
where
the
rubber
meets
the
road
and
we
need
to
address
it,
then
we
need
to
do
that
as
soon
as
possible
and
so
I'm
asking
that
this
item
come
up
to
counsel
at
the
earliest
possible
convenience,
which
is
April
7th.
That's
it.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
G
H
Keeps
texting
me
okay,
so
what
I
wanted
to
say
is
really
I
I
think
it's
already
been
said
already.
I
I
said
it
last
week
when,
when
I
was
calling
in
and
I
was
on
my
way
to
a
doctor's
appointment
of
all
things
and
it
was
in
Mountain,
View
I
only
went
to
Mountain
View,
because
that's
the
only
place
that
they
had,
they
were
seeing
patients
and
it
was
a
really
large
building
and
when
I
went
to
the
doctors,
of
course,
they
checked
my
temperature
at
the
door.
H
Wouldn't
allow
me
to
go
in
through
any
of
the
hallways,
and
until
my
my
temperature
was
checked,
and
then
it
was
checked
once
again,
once
I
checked
into
the
actual
office
and
and
then
you
know
assured
into
a
room
so
then,
when
I
was
in
the
room,
I
asked
the
medical
assistant
that
was
helping
me.
I
said
you
know.
If
you
guys
get
sick,
what
happens
and
she
said
well,
you
know
we're
gonna
have
to
use
our
our
PTO
or
our
vacation
time
and
I
thought
health
place.
Is
you
know
this
this
this
corporation?
H
H
H
So
this
is
you
know,
families
who
have
immigrated
to
to
San
Jose,
who
have
worked
really
hard
to
to
check
off
that
you
know
American
Dream,
possibly
open
up
their
their
business
and
have
a
home
and
own
a
home,
so
I
want
to
make
sure
that
those
businesses
stay
open.
No
doubt
about
that,
but
this
is
also
a
burden
for
our
workers
and
our
essential
service
workers
are
this.
H
This
crisis
is
really
just
pulling
the
curtain
back
on
on
all
of
the
inequities
that
have
happened
with
our
some
of
our
service
workers
and
service
workers
at
you
and
I
see
at
essential
services
like
at
the
local
market
or
at
the
doctor's
office.
We're
realizing
that
these
folks
don't
have
paid
sick
leave.
H
We
represent
a
hundred
thousand
mayor.
You
lead
the
whole
city
and
they're,
relying
on
us
to
make
sure
that
the
essential
services
that
remain
open
are
a
safe
environment,
and
we
can't
guarantee
that
if
people
aren't
offered
sick
paid,
leave
they're
just
not
going
to
go
for
they're
not
going
to
forego
a
paycheck.
H
These
are
folks
who
are
also
being
asked
to
have
additional
costs
on
them,
because
if
they
relied
on
school
hours
to
mimic
their
scheduled
work
schedule
now,
they
have
to
find
somebody
else
who
is
also
has
a
safe
environment
to
take
care
of
their
children
and
they
have
to
pay
out
of
their
pocket.
For
that
because,
as
of
yesterday,
we're
only
really
providing
a
cent
child
care
for
our
essential
service
workers,
which
I
think
is
great.
H
We
should
be
doing
that
as
as
a
city
we
should
be
leading
the
net,
but
there's
a
lot
of
low
wage
paid
workers
that
don't
have
employers
like
the
city
of
San
Jose
and
aren't
leading
this
way
and
aren't
thinking
about
some
of
those
additional
costs
those
families
are
facing.
And
so,
when
I
hear
it's
a
burden
for
for
businesses.
I
really
I.
H
Also
I'm
empathetic
to
that
and
I
want
to
make
sure
that
you
know
that
I'm
going
to
be
as
supportive
as
I
can
for
those
small
businesses
and
to
make
some
of
those
exceptions
or
ensure
that
there's
resources
for
those
businesses
that
those
workers
that
are
out
there.
Our
frontline
folks
who
who
are
putting
their
health
at
risk
for
us
and
I
think
the
very
least
that
we
could
do
is
make
sure
that
we
have
the
sick
paid
leave.
And
so
I've
got
to
say
mayor
that
I'm
really
happy
with
with
your
memo.
H
I
think
there's
some
still.
Some
conversations
to
be
had,
but
I'm
really
happy
to
see
that
you
right
from
the
start,
started
with
an
immediate
grant
of
40
hours
of
sick
leave,
and
that
is
an
absolutely
I
think
what
needs
to
happen.
I
also
agree
with
item
number
two,
although
I
think
it
does
get
a
little
complex
in
terms
of
what
the
cruel
rate
is
for
for
the
first
bullet
on
under
number
two.
H
This
is
any
employer
that
has
already
enacted
a
policy
that
provides
a
maximum
paid
personal
leave
of
160
hours,
including
PTO
and
vacation,
but
we
don't-
and
this
this
to
me
is
for
some
of
those
big
employers
larger
than
500,
that
we
know
already
have
really
great
vacation
and
PTO
time
right.
We
already
in
it,
they
don't.
We
don't
need
to
bother
them,
and
so
I
want
to
just
make
sure
that
it's
not
some
of
the
businesses
that
may
have
an
employee
working
for
50
years
and
now
they're
at
there
now
they're
at
160
hours.
G
H
H
H
A
B
I
know
that
this
is
a
this
is
challenging
to
to
call
in
this
way,
but
but
I
thought
that
this
was
really
important
to
be
able
to
chime
in
and
as
you've
heard
from
my
council
colleagues,
we've
spoken
with
with
different
folks
hearing
the
different
concerns
and
I'm
listening
to
the
folks
that
just
spoke
a
minute
ago
who
are
business
owners?
Of
course,
we
we
patrons
and
we
love
mescaline
and
I
hate
the
idea
that
that,
because
of
everything,
that's
happening,
they
have
sony
has
to
close
the
doors
down.
B
What
I
want
to
say,
first
and
foremost,
is
that
I've
been
supporting
our
small
businesses
throughout
the
city
of
San
Jose,
especially
those
who
are
micro
businesses
since
day,
one
that
I
would
I
took
office.
As
you
all
recall,
we
had
a
huge
issue
that
took
place
up
and
down
along
Rock
Avenue,
really
threatening
the
livelihood
of
many
of
our
business
owners
when
we
have
four
major
infrastructure
that
that
created
some
challenges
and
really
threatened
many
of
those
businesses
to
shut
their
doors
down
and
in
some
cases,
not
just
temporarily
but
potentially
permanently.
B
These
were
businesses
that
have
been.
You
know,
characteristic
of
the
neighborhood
business
that
have
been
there
for
generations
and
we're
facing
very
difficult
times.
As
a
result,
mayor
because
of
your
advocacy
and
supervisor
Chavez
and
myself,
we
were
able
to
acquire
almost
two
million
dollars
from
VTA
in
order
to
keep
our
businesses
afloat
until
all
the
construction
was
over
and
done
with.
For
some
that
was
a
lifeline
that
they
needed.
B
It
was
enough
to
keep
them
open
and
it
was
enough
to
really
demonstrate
that
we
were
there
and
we
have
their
back,
and
we
really
believed
in
the
products
and
services
that
they
provided
for
the
city
of
San
Jose
and
for
our
community
and
inside
walk.
I
want
to
make
sure
that
that
I'm
crystal
clear,
hopefully
through
through
the
audio
that
that
I
support,
small
businesses
and
I,
know
that
that
right
now
we're
facing
challenges,
unlike
anything
that
many
of
us
have
ever
seen
in
our
lifetime.
B
Maybe
a
little
scarred
up
and
bruised
I
do
think
so,
but
I
do
think
that
we'll
be
able
to
to
still
survive
it
if
we
pull
together
and
not
turn
on
each
other
and
and
I
think
that
this
memo
is
also
an
attempt
to
be
able
to
do
that.
What
we
do
know
about
this
virus
and
it's
an
ever
evolving
changing
predicament
that
we
are
facing,
is
that
it's
in
constant
flux.
B
Another
person
feels
it,
and
so
I
don't
want
my
residents
who
work
in
restaurants
or
small
micro
businesses
to
show
up,
because
they
don't
have
a
means
to
support
themselves
and
our
feelings
forced
to
go,
even
though
maybe
they're
feeling
under
the
weather,
not
sure
if
they've
been
exposed
or
if
they're,
going
to
test
positive
and
then
federally
exposing
others,
whether
it's
their
co-workers
or
their
own
clientele
and
when
I
think
of
our
small
businesses.
That
who
they're
serving
the
question
I
ask
is
as
much
as
a
burden.
Esses
feels
like
right
now.
B
What
kind
of
reversion
is
it
going
to
be
when
we're
ready
to
reopen
our
doors
and
our
clientele
or
your
clientele?
Your
customers
are
not
there,
because
they're,
sick
or
god
forbid,
they've
taken
a
turn
for
the
worse
and
are
definitely
not
going
to
show
up
or
you
don't
have
any
workers,
because
they're,
sick
or
their
family
members
are
sick
or
god
forbid.
B
B
Your
load
I'm
fully
committed
to
really
look
at
options
on
how
we're
going
to
support
you
and
help
you
come
out
of
this
hole
possible,
but
we
do
need
to
make
sure
that
you're
safe,
that
your
clients
and
customers
are
safe
and
that
your
your
employees
are
safe
because
we're
in
it
together,
and
it
is
a
abdominal
effect
that
we're
trying
to
to
mitigate
more
than
anything
so
I
want
to.
Thank
you
also
mayor
for
all
of
your
advocacy
for
small
businesses.
B
I
know
that
you've
been
really
out
front
and
center
and
everything
that
you've
been
really
pushing
forward,
as
this
Crescent
has
really
hit.
The
city
of
San
Jose
and
the
county
I've
been
I,
can't
remember
a
time
when
I've
been
more
proud
to
be
in
the
middle
of
all
of
this,
and
with
the
colleagues
that
I
have
in
here
with
you
at
the
helm.
So
I
want
to
thank
you
and
thank
you
for
your
memo,
but
I
do
hope
that
we
can
move
it
forward
and
have
a
conversation
at
the
diet.
F
F
That's
so
and
I
like
many
parts
of
your
memo,
but
small
businesses
have
additional
burdens
that
big
businesses
don't
have
they
don't
staff
to
deal
with
HR
and
all
the
other
resources
they
don't
have
just
you
know
like
huge
amounts
of
backup
and
they're
in
their
accounts,
for
for
rainy
days
like
this
and
many
of
them.
Don't
know
when
it's
gonna
stop
raining
quite
frankly
here
and
this
virus.
You
know
Wow
well,
I,
think
that
we
are
all
gonna
recover
from
this
virus.
F
Eventually,
we
don't
know
that
our
small
businesses
are
gonna
recover
from
this
from
this
downturn
in
the
economy,
and
we
don't
know
if
they're
ever
gonna
get
their
clients
back
or
if
they're
gonna
have
enough
reserves
around
to
pay
for
I
heard.
Okay
I
heard
may
is
the
new
timeframe
now
that
we're
not
going
to
allow
businesses
to
open
and
or
to
operate
at
this
emergency
level.
F
What
I,
don't
think
we
need
to
do?
I,
like
I,
said
I
appreciate
the
mayor's
memo.
I,
don't
know
that
we
need
to
have
this
discussion
because
number
one
I
think
that
Congress
has
already
written
this
law
and
we
have
to
comply
by
it
and
I.
Don't
think
micro
tuning
forty
hours
and
80
hours
and
getting
into
the
weeds
I
think
Congress
laid
it
out
pretty
good,
I've,
read
I,
don't
know
if
you
read
mayor
the
letter
from
Hopkins
and
Carly
that
came
out
in
in
their
description
of
how
to
comply.
F
I
made
that
available
to
the
council
I
think,
as
of
yesterday,
should
be
in
your
packets,
but
the
Congress
described
this
fraud.
The
funding
that
businesses
have
to
pay
Congress
does
describe
the
how
to
get
credits
for
it,
and
Congress
also
described
that
they
would
like
to
see
the
Secretary
of
Labor
exempt
employers
of
15
under
that's
all
in
in
the
assessment
from
Hopkins
and
Carlee
and
and
I
can
tell
you
something
else.
As
a
small
business.
F
Small
businesses
don't
like
multiple
different
regulations
from
different
entities
right
now
they
they're
trying
to
comply
with
state
law,
federal
law
and
if
our
laws,
let's
say
that
you
have
a
a
small
business
in
Los
Gatos
and
you
have
one
in
San
Jose.
If,
if
you
have
to
have
two
separate
payroll
systems
and
two
separate
compliance
things
it
it
just
makes
things
harder.
It
just
makes
if
the
regulations
are
so
difficult
from
from
from
vicinity
to
vicinity.
It's
just.
F
It
just
makes
things
harder
to
live
with
and
harder
to
operate
your
business,
so
I
also
wanted
to
look
at
unintended
consequences.
This
might
be
the
most
righteous
law
that
we've
ever
seen.
However,
as
a
small
business
owner,
if
I
think
that
we're
gonna
be
overly
regulated,
I
might
move
to
Los
Gatos
I
might
move
to
Campbell
or
to
make
it
really
easy.
I
just
might
shut
my
doors
and
lay
off
my
employees
and
have
my
employees
be
part
of
the
unemployment
line
and
that's
what
I'm
afraid
of.
F
If
we
make
things
very
difficult
for
an
employer,
they
will,
instead
of
trying
to
help
their
employees,
overcome
a
sickness
or
trying
to
like
I
know.
Most
employers
are
trying
to
keep
their
employees.
None
of
none
of
us
who
are
employers
want
to
see
good
employees
leave
ever
because
if
you
train
an
employee
and
you
love
their
work,
we
don't
want
to
see
them
leave
and
we
do
our
best
to
try
to
keep
them
employed
and
so
making
it.
Making
more
regulations
on
small
business
is
not
going
to
help
them.
F
It'll
it'll
be
much
easier
for
small
businesses
just
to
lay
off
people
and
then
try
to
hire
them
back
later,
if
there's
a
whole
lot
more
mandates,
so
at
a
minimum
at
a
minimum.
If
we
are
gonna
go
down
this
path,
I
think
we
should
do
the
same
thing
that
Congress
wrote
in
the
bill
itself
that
we
should
be
exempting
businesses
under
50
employees,
I.
F
Personally,
don't
even
I,
don't
even
think
we
need
to
reinvent
the
wheel
if
Congress
is
handling
it.
Congress
is
handling
it,
except
for
making
sure
that
business
is
above
500
fall
into
this
man
date.
I
think
I
think
that's
clicked
clear
to
me.
It
should
be
a
mandate
and
again
I
appreciate
the
fact
that
this
is
an
emergency
situation,
but
we
shouldn't
do
these.
F
This
emergency
regulation
might
have
longer-term
unintended
consequences
that
I
I've
been
afraid
of
since
I
first
saw
this
piece
of
legislation
and
I'm
and
last
week
when
I
made
the
suggestions
that
this
should
be
for
emergency
operations.
You
know
the
the
threat
of
the
writers
of
this
bill
were
very
unhappy
with
the
situation.
In
fact,
we
were
told
that
they
were
unhappy,
but
even
this
I
think.
F
This,
this
might
be
too
much
regulations
unless
we
exempt
businesses
under
50
or
below.
So
those
were
my
thoughts
as
a
business
as,
first
and
foremost
I
was
a
business
owner
for
20
years
before
I
became
a
council
member,
so
I
do
know
what
it's
like
to
own
a
business,
a
small
business.
In
fact,
right
now
the
firm
that
I
used
to
own
still
has
five
employees
they're
all
working
from
home.
F
We
do
pay
them
sick
leave
little
sick
leave
if
they've
worked
with
we
if
they've
worked
for
us
for
more
than
six
months,
but
we
don't
grant
that
we
don't
grant
that
for
somebody
who
walked
in
the
door
immediately
and
so
there's
a
lot
that
goes
into
running
a
small
business
that
my
colleagues
may
not
be
aware
of
you
know,
and
and
and
and
the
fact
that
we
have
lost
over
the
last.
The
small
business
has
lost.
Maybe
thirty
percent
of
the
revenues
coming
in?
F
Nobody
thinks
about
that,
and
so
and
I
and
I
again
I
just
don't
want
additional
burdens
on
small
businesses.
If
we
want
to
talk
about
businesses
above
500,
I
will
sign
that
memo
right
today,
but
if
we're
talking
about
chiropractors
and
mom-and-pop
fo
shops
and
taquerias,
and
things
like
that,
I
don't
think
we
should
be
there
operating
on
a
skeleton
crew
trying
to
do
takeout
only
and
they're
not
going
to
be
able
to
afford
new
mandates
and
that's
what
I'm
afraid
of
so.
A
E
First
of
all,
I
used
to
be
a
small
business
owner
and
ran
a
business
where
I
had
a
$200,000
a
month
and
I
could
tell
you
about
the
times
when
I
was
saying
in
lying
in
bed
staring
at
the
ceiling
not
being
able
to
sleep,
because
we
were
trying
to
figure
out
how
we
were
gonna
make
payroll.
If
you
have
a
customer
or
two
customers
who
are
late
and
pain
on
their
invoices,
you
have
an
immediate
cash
flow
problem,
but
we
always
made
our
payroll
but
sometimes
admit
that
we
didn't
get
paid
until
later.
E
So
I
know
what
it's
like
to
be.
A
small
business
owner
I
also
know
was
engaging
with
our
small
business
advisory
task
force
and
getting
the
input
from
them.
I
also
know
that
the
challenges
that
they
have
to
overcome
as
well
and
we're
constantly
getting
input
from
them
about
the
business
environment,
so
I'm
intimately
familiar
with.
What's
going
on
with
small
business
by
also
and
intimately
for
me,
it
was
what's
going
on
with
our
residents
and
the
challenges.
E
They're
having
in
the
decisions
that
they
have
to
make
in
terms
of
do
they
go
to
work
if
they're
sick,
we're
not
feeling
well
or
the
child's
not
feeling
well
so
we're
in
an
extraordinary
situation
in
an
extraordinary
time
where
we're
gonna
have
to
make
compromises,
workers
are
gonna,
have
to
make
compromises.
Businesses
are
going
to
have
to
make
compromises
and
we're
all
gonna
have
to
work
together
and
come
together
to
work
through
this
extraordinary
situation.
E
That's
gonna
have
guardrails
in
it
to
protect
our
small
businesses
and
also
access
to
resources,
whether
it's
moving
forward
with
our
single
point
of
contact
for
small
businesses,
to
direct
them
to
the
resources
or
other
avenues
in
terms
of
funds
or
resources
that
we
can
provide
to
help
our
small
businesses
to
survive,
and
eventually,
when
this
is
over
thrive.
So
I'm
gonna
support
the
memo.
But
again,
there's
a
lot
of
you
know
Devils
in
the
details.
E
We
got
to
work
through
some
of
these
these
issues,
but
at
the
end
of
the
day,
if
we
have
a
final
product,
that's
going
to
support
our
workers,
but
also
support
our
small
businesses,
then
I
think
we'll
have
a
good
product
to
be
proud
of.
So
I
want.
On
that
note.
I
want
to
make
a
motion
to
accept
the
mayor's
memo.
A
I
A
Thank
you,
yeah
I
appreciate
the
comments
vice
mayor.
This
will
need
work
and
I
know
that
Kim
is
spending
every
day,
I
think
in
the
EOC,
virtually
or
in
reality,
and
so
a
lot
of
that
team
is
being
pulled
into
the
crisis
of
the
day.
So
wanted
to
do
what
everything
we
can
as
people
have
suggestions
for
changes,
modifications
to
ensure
we
communicate
directly
with
Jeff,
obviously
I'll
be
limited
within
the
people.
I
speak
with
in
the
Brown
Act
I
just
want
to
acknowledge
something
that
councillor
Camus
said,
which
is.
A
A
The
way
that
has
been
a
community
convening
place
and
and
it's
it's
not
just
because
you
know
that
they
provide
a
business
service
or
because
they
issue
paychecks,
although
those
are
very
important
to
a
lot
of
families,
but
because
it's
important
to
the
entire
community
that
that
business
is
like
a
mess,
call
thrive
here
and
and
the
reality
is
many.
Small
businesses
are
going
to
fail
in
this,
and
this
economy
is
going
to
be
badly
beaten
by
this
by
this
pandemic
and
our
task.
A
So
we
hope
we'll
be
able
to
get
to
this
task
much
sooner.
Rather
than
later,
it's
gonna
be
around
rebuilding
and
figure
out
how
we
support
all
those
small
businesses
and
and
larger
employers
to
help
them
get
back
on
their
feet.
So
I'm,
mindful
that
this
is
not
easy
for
small
businesses
to
swallow.
I
do
want
to
emphasize.
My
intention
is
ensure.
A
This
only
applies
to
those
small
businesses,
those
businesses
that
actually
have
workers
showing
up
at
a
work
site
and
if
folks
are
working
from
home,
then
this
shouldn't
be
necessary
and
it
shouldn't
be
necessary
for
those
businesses
that
aren't
able
to
open
I
would
also
just
add.
Well,
we
all
have
great
empathy
for
the
pho
noodle
houses.
The
taqueria
is
that
again
are
the
lifeblood
of
our
community.
A
Create
any
clear
exceptions:
I
really
punish
the
issue
to
staff.
I
know
this
is
a
hot
potato
wrapped
in
foil,
so
it's
not
a
very
fair
punt,
but
I'm,
not
that
inclined
to
create
an
exemption,
because
I
think
that
this
is
one
of
those
things
where
hey
we've
got
a
pandemic
and
we've
got
to
do
something
about
it
and
unfortunately
it's
many
of
those
small
businesses
that
are
many
ways
most
engaging
with
the
public
on
a
daily
basis.
And
so
you
know
if
there
are
exemptions
that
are
created.
A
E
It
was
brought
up
about
people
taxes
and,
if
you're
out
of
business,
you're
not
going
to
be
able
to
pay
payroll
taxes,
you're
actually
required
by
law,
to
pay
those
those
taxes,
whether
you're
in
businesses
or
out
it,
as
well
as
making
your
payroll.
So
every
business
is
going
to
be
responsible
for
paying
those
payroll
taxes.
So
that's
more
incentive
for
them
to
want
to
participate
in
the
federal
program
because
they're
not
going
to
be
able
to
yeah.
E
A
F
A
F
I
know
I
would
I
would
be
more
supportive
if
I
can
get
the
exemptions
and
I
know
that
your
your
I
know
that
the
businesses
that
you're
thinking
about
are
are
handling
food
or
what
have
you,
however,
if
we
put
these,
if
right
now,
they're
barely
staying
open,
if
they
don't
stay
open,
then
they
don't
have
to
comply
with
this
law.
So
again,
my
fear
is
unintended
consequences
that
these
people
will
rather
than
comply
with.
F
B
B
It
is
so
important
for
us
to
acknowledge
that
our
current
public
health
concern
is
completely
tied
to
our
economy
and
what
I
mean
by
that?
Is
that
the
longer
this
drags
on
the
worse,
it
will
be
for
our
economy
and
what
that
means
for
us
is
that
we
need
to
mitigate
the
spread
of
the
virus
to
the
greatest
extent
possible.
Right
now
and
in
terms
of
essential
workers.
I
hear
what
you're
saying
councilmember
Candace,
but
I
respectfully
disagree.
Essential
workers
who
are
sick
must
stay
home,
and
we
have
to
do
all
that.
B
B
Everyone
knows
how
much
I
support
our
businesses
and
our
small
businesses
in
particular,
but
at
this
point
the
best
way
to
support
them
over
the
long
term,
because
that's
always
how
I
make
a
decision
is
to
do
everything
we
can
to
mitigate
the
spread
of
the
virus
now
and
I
think
the
way
that
the
mayor's
memo
is
worded
does
do
that
and
so
I
will
be
supporting
it.
Thank
you
thank.
A
J
A
G
Could
we
yes
I
mean
your
memo
outlines
some
items
that
would
be
in
the
ordinance,
so
we
could
start
it
yeah
with
what
you
have
on
here.
But
my
understanding
is,
you
all
still
want
to
continue
to
form
the
ordinance,
and
so
it
would
be
difficult
for
us
to
get
you
anything
with.
Yes,
any
further
information
until.
A
That
council
meeting
all
right,
it's
a
fair
point:
I
won't
ask
you
to
do
any
mind-reading,
so
there
you
often
do
so.
What
we'll
need
is
clear,
council
direction
by
that
Tuesday
and
then
hopefully
expedited
return
with
the
ordinance,
and
certainly
we
know
it's
going
to
take
this
time
to
comply
and
the
news
will
be
out
I
think
pretty
clearly
when
the
council
votes,
sort
of
will
need
to
be
doing
are
communicating
anyway,
so
having
that
ordinance
trail
week,
probably
will
not
affect
things
that
would
expect
Dave
yeah.
D
A
C
E
G
A
A
G
A
G
C
G
E
A
We
should
support
our
small
businesses.
The
bagel
shop
is
open,
okay
and
he
and
he
okay,
so
the
maker.
The
motion,
probably
would
need
to
include
that
in
the
motion.
So
I'll
ask
vice
mayor.
Yes,
all
right,
and
that
would
be
for
April
1st
special
meeting
at
this
time
during
the
rules
committee,
with
the
ordinance
to
come
back
on
the
7th
that
give
you
enough
time
it
we.
