Thank
you
very
much.
Yes,
I
guess
I
was
going
to
talk
about
the
emma
push
and
that
we're
gonna
go
ahead
and
help
them
with
six
acres
to
develop
a
a
program
which
I'm
very
supportive
of,
and
I
appreciate
that.
However,
if
we
look
at
the
history
of
emma
push
emma
push
donated
that
land
to
the
city
for
agricultural
use,
that
was
what
she
did
only
for
agricultural
use.
D
That
is
the
way
we
need
to
go.
We
need
to
be
going
forward
and
I
appreciate
that
your
vision
is
to
say
that
we
need
that
for
sustainability
to
learn,
and
so
one
of
the
other
ways
we
can
do
it
is
with
the
other.
Small
business
in
our
area
is
already
middlebrook's
center
for
urban
sustainability
and
she's.
Developing
a
program
called
eat,
grow,
learn
and
she
wants
she's
been
her.
Vision
is
25
by
25
by
2025,
and
so
we
need
land.
D
We
need
to
be
buying
land
and,
putting
like,
I
say,
our
money
where
our
mouth
is
and
that's
what
I'm
saying
is
that,
first
of
all,
we
need
reparations
for
the
land
that
you
took
for
from
amendment
push
and
there's
also
land
that
the
city
took.
That
was
also
given
for
agricultural
purposes,
the
city
hall,
the
old
city
hall,
that
was
supposed
to
say,
agricultural
that
didn't
happen
and
then
there's
the
barrack
over
that
santa
clara.
But
anyway,
we'll
stay
at
city
hall.
So
we
need
reparations.
B
B
B
B
F
Thank
you
good
afternoon,
council.
I
have
a
concern
about
the
types
of
items
that
are
coming
up
on
the
consent
calendar
when
you
look
at
when
you
look
at
the
when
you
look
at
the
memos
or
look
at
the
agendas,
a
lot
of
the
items
that
we
would
discuss
and
a
lot
of
the
principles
and
what
values
are
being
served
by
the
particulars
and
the
nuances
of
a
particular
issue.
F
F
It's
three
plus
years,
and
so
I
I
can't
there's
really
no
like
there's
really
no
way
to
remedy
that
other
than
not
do
it
anymore,
because
the
example
I
went
to
the
downtown
meeting
today
for
the
for
the
garages
for
the
parking
and
there's
no
public
comment
or
no
discussion
around
issues
that
decide
millions
of
dollars
in
the
city,
but
yet
there's
no
public
comment
on
it.
These
are
these
are
issues
because
democracy.
B
D
Well,
thank
you.
Thank
you
paul,
and
I
brought
that
up
spice
mayor
jones,
and
I
appreciate
you
commenting
back
to
paul
on
that,
because
when
I
read
at
the
city
council
meeting
and
any
person
any
any
public
member
can
pull
something.
So
we
have
to
have
mayor,
licardo
asked
us
or
whoever
runs
the
council
meeting
say.
Is
there
anything
from
the
public
that
wants
to
be
pulled
that
we
should
be
talking
about?
D
That
needs
to
be
added
as
a
protocol
in
our
city
council
meetings,
okay,
so
anyway,
so
hopefully
we'll
we'll
get
that
get
back
to
me
on
that.
Thank
you
anyway.
So
I'm
going
to
talk
about
the
san
jose
city,
road
map,
which
I
think
is
a
beautiful
road
map
very
impressed,
and
so
basically,
you
you're
saying
safe,
vibrant
and
inclusive
neighborhoods
and
public
life.
So
what
we
need
is
the
way
we
bring
vibrancy
is
that
we
do
all
need
to
grow
food
in
the
front
of
our
house.
D
That's
how
we
bring
vibrancy
when
people
like
we
talk
about
that.
You
know
we
have
to
there's
a
term
that
you
use
to
to
activate
activate
the
land.
We
need
to
activate
our
lands,
and
that
is
where
we're
all
growing
food,
and
so
that's
where
the
ecro
learn
centers
or
what
I
call
it
school
of
the
home
art.
So
we
need
education
on
how
and
that's
also
called
the
grange
movement.
D
So
that's
what
I
want
to
develop
at
615
is
also
to
have
besides
the
garden
where
it's
a
demonstration
garden
and
we
have
a
home
for
those
that
take
care
of
the
of
of
the
land.
We
also
provide
a
school,
it's
a
school
and
it's
it's
part
of
it
is
the
grange
movement
and
in
the
grange
movement
of
the
late
1800s.
D
We
they
developed
that
all
of
us
become
patrons
of
husbandry
and
we
actually
need
an
ordinance
that
says
all
of
our
lands
need
to
be
productive,
and
so
that's
where
that
we
need
to
teach
each
other
to
teach
our
neighbors
to
do
that,
to
start
growing
food
having
everything,
productive
and
that's
how
we
will
save
life
on
earth,
the
bees,
the
birds
and
the
butterflies.
All
those
things
that
we
like,
as
well
as
ourselves,.
B
C
C
C
B
C
B
B
D
Yes,
I
am
thank
you
so
much
and
thank
you
for
your
appreciation
of
me
doing
my
homework
and
being
such
a
good
teacher
of
democracy.
Thank
you
vice
mayor
anyway.
What
I
was
going
to
say
is:
I
wrote
a
letter,
so
I
can
comment
on
my
letter
and
my
letter
was
that
it
was
about
the
subcommittee
process
and,
as
we've
been
dealing
with
the
the
charter
review
commission,
that
I've
been
engaged
with
the
the
subcommittees
have
been
isolated
from
the
public
and
that's
wrong.
D
That's
not
open
government
and
the
city
of
berkeley,
which
is
like
our
leader
because
they're
they're,
all
about
that's
the
free
speech
movement
that
came
that
started.
You
know
in
san
francisco
and
berkeley
and
we've
got
a
lot
more
environmentalists
and
democratic
leadership
from
up
there,
and
so
you
know
they
do
their.
Their
subcommittees
are
open
to
the
public,
maybe
even
making
comments
and
things
like
that.
D
But
you
know,
even
our
subcommittee
tony
tabor
says,
do
not
record
it
was
like,
and
I
even
I
asked
a
letter
about
that
in
the
past,
like
what
does
that
mean
tony?
Why
do
not
record
now?
I
think
I
heard
about
it,
it's
something
to
do
with
the
rules,
and
maybe
there
is
an
issue,
but
we
need
to
open
that
up.
That
needs
to
go
away,
do
not
record
and
the
thing
we
need
to
get
this
established,
because
even
in
working
with
the
the
rules,
the
charter
review
commission
about
our
climate
crisis.
D
I
had
no
viewpoint
into
the
subcommittee
and
that's
wrong.
You
know,
so
it
was
really
you
know
replicated
or
whatever
the
word
is
it
was.
It
was
truncated,
the
knowledge
of
the
public
and,
and
so
it
was,
it
was
not
there
because
we
couldn't
know
what
was
happening
in
the
subcommittee,
and
so
we
need
to
bring
our
subcommittees
out
to
the
public
and
even
they
call
ad
hoc.
You
know,
oh,
I
think,
there's
like
loopholes
with
ad
hoc
and
blah
blah.
B
F
F
F
You
know
better,
but
you
did
it
anyway
and
what
I'm
letting
you
know
is
here
publicly
because
you
did
that
publicly.
I
don't
appreciate
it,
I
don't
like
it
and
it's
just
not
consistent
with
the
principles
of
democracy
and
it's
not
consistent
with
my
personal
autonomy
and
the
way
I
experience
this
city.
B
C
B
F
Okay,
paul
soto
from
the
horseshoe,
if,
if
you
would
vice
mayor
jones,
if
now
I
can
speak
on
that
issue,
I'd
like
to
continue
that
thought.
I
don't
have
anything
to
say
with
response
to
what
you're
talking
now
the
consent
calendar.
So
can
I
have
permission
to
finish
my
thought
on
last
item:
go
ahead,
paul!
Thank
you.
F
What
happened
with
george
floyd
is
just
it
was
we
we
experienced
a
symptom
of
a
problem
that
has
existed
here
since
thomas
fallon
planted
that
flag
brought
manifest
destiny.
All
the
philosophies
with
it
and
the
institution
of
san
jose
police
department
was
one
of
the
institutions
and
means
by
which
that
tragedy
was
was
maintained
and
given
its
legitimacy
and
authority.
F
What
flowed
from
that
was
the
decapitations
of
native
americans,
okay,
so
so
this
is
how
serious
this
is
and
and
the
the
manifestations
of
how
violent
that
police
department
can
be.
We
witnessed
it
as
citizens.
Collectively,
okay,
chief
mata,
has
opened
the
door
chief
mata
has
says:
I
need
the
assistance
of
the
community.
F
We
have
a
process
now
that
involves
the
community.
I
have
been
at
every
single
one
of
those
meetings,
with
the
exception
of
probably
two,
I
read
absolutely
everything
that
is
in
those
memos,
because
I
give
honor
and
respect
to
the
people
that
have
constantly
been
victimized
not
only
by
racism
but
by
those
that
sit
by
and
silently
silently
call
it
out.
They
never
come
here
and
and
talk
about
the
racism
that
still
infects
public
policy
inside
these
memos.
F
D
Oh
well,
it
would
it's
really
great.
If
you
would
put
the
con,
you
know
speak
out
the
consent
calendar.
That
would
be
really
great.
So
basically,
I'm
looking
at
the
oh
I'm
at
the
wrong,
I'm
on
the
wrong
page,
but
what's
on
the
consent
calendar,
I'm
not
sure.
Do
you
want
to
read
it?
Can
you
read
it
out
loud?
What's
on
the
consent,
calendar.
B
D
Okay,
I
love
you.
Yes,
that
was
really
great.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
So
much
vice
mayor,
yes,
that
movie
night,
okay,
good
all
right,
so
I
can
comment
on
it.
So
thank
you,
sweetie
is
that
you
know,
like
I've,
been
saying
for
all
of
our
events.
We
need
to
encourage
people
to
be
to
not
drive
to
the
movie
event
in
some
park.
You
know
to
figure
out
how
we
can
walk
to
them,
how
we
can
ride
our
bicycles
and
you
know-
and
then
you
know,
have
comments
about
how
safe
it
was.
D
You
know
where,
where
were
the
problems
you
know,
we
should
have
that
as
a
talk
at
the
movies
before
how
was
it
driving
to
not
driving
riding
your
bicycle
or
walking?
Did
it
feel
safe?
What
are
the
comments
to
our
community
about
how
it
could
be
safer?
You
know
that
we
could
get
input
from
our
citizenry
about
every
event
as
we
go
forward,
why
they
didn't
take
their
bicycle
and
what
were
the
problems
and
then
fix
those?
You
know
that's
what
we
need
to
do
and
all
our
events
is
is
have
a
you
know.
D
You
know
an
open
dialogue
about
that,
so
that
you
know-
and
we
also
need
to
be
always
talking
about
our
climate
crisis-
that
we
need
to
go
to
zero.
We
have
to
go
to
zero
and
you're,
not
talking
about
it.
You
know-
and
that's
really
important,
so
we
need
to
do
that
in
any
public
gathering
with
taxpayer
dollars
that
we
we
make
sure
we're
educating
the
public
about,
what's
really
coming
up
and
and
the
dangers
that
are
coming
up.
If
they
don't
do
that.
B
C
B
H
Good
afternoon
joe
royce
city
otter,
I'm
here
with
our
monthly
report
of
activities
for
october
2021..
In
october,
we
issued
our
audit
of
municipal
water,
billing
and
customer
service.
Our
outside
financial
auditors,
macias
genie,
o'connell
issued
several
of
the
city's
annual
financial
audits.
The
balance
of
our
work
plan
is
included
in
the
memo
as
an
attachment.
H
Lastly,
I
want
to
introduce
I'd
like
to
introduce
courtney
smith
from
the
city
of
houston
and
maria
stroup
from
the
city
of
austin,
who
are
here
with
us.
They
are
here
conducting
our
biennial
peer
review,
so
they're
in
our
office,
going
through
our
files
and
there's
maria
and
courtney
and,
as
I
said,
that's
part
of
our
biennial
peer
review
process
and
they'll,
be
here
for
the
rest
of
the
week.
With
that,
I
ask
that
you
accept
our
report
and
I'm
happy
to
answer
any
questions.
Thank
you.
B
D
Right,
I
I
thought
it
was
going
to
be
a
much
larger
auditor.
I
thought,
because
when
blair
was
reading
it
to
me,
he
said
there
was
like
25
issues
or
something
on
the
auditor's
report,
so
I
guess
what
he
just
said.
Joe
royce
royce.
I
love.
That
name
is
that
he
was
talking
about
one
little
thing
and
I
forgot
what
it
was
remember.
What
was
it
that
he
was
just
audi
that
he
was
referring
to
the
audit
that
he
did.
Do
you
remember
vice
mayor?
Did
you
just
talk.
D
Just
to
remember,
but
there
were
a
lot
of
issues
so
I'll
just
talk
about
auditing
in
general,
because
I
really
love
you
know.
I
I've
learned
a
lot
about
the
auditing
process
and
I'm
glad
you
know
like.
I
said
that
in
the
agenda
from
what
blair
had
read
me,
there
was
a
lot
of
issues,
but
maybe
that's
just
going
to
be
looked
at
as
the
report.
But
what
but
the
one
thing
that
I
always
appreciated
when
I
learned
about
it
through
the
charter.
He
came
to
our
charter
review
commission,
which
was
so
helpful
in
understanding.
D
It
is
that
that
type
of
auditing
is
that
what
we
need
to
do
in
terms
of
our
fossil
fuel
use,
and
we
need
to
be
looking
at
how
our
city
is
using
fossil
fuels
and
then
how
they're
planning
to
mitigate
and
what
their
that,
what
their
issues
are
to
mitigate.
But
we
need
that
kind
of
granularity
of
what's
happening
in
all
of
our
departments
and
how
we're
using
our
fossil
fuels.
And
so
we
can.
You
know,
look
at
how
we're
doing
that.
So
we
can.
D
You
know
we
need
to
go
to
zero
they're
saying
by
2025
2030
the
latest,
and
you
know
we
have
that's
eight
years.
You
know
that's
I
mean.
Even
if
we
look
at
the
furthest
way,
we
have
to
start
auditing
what
we're
doing
and
putting
you
know,
even
even
with
joe
biden
and
what's
happening
at
the
cop
26.
It
turns
out
his
whole
infrastructure
trillion.
Dollar
programs
is
just
reducing
it.
D
I
You
know
issues
of
clean
energy
technology,
audit
ideas,
the
san
jose
convention
center
and
visitor
bureau
stuff,
there's
issues
of
child
children,
bill
of
rights,
issues,
waste
theft,
prevention
issues
each
month.
You
know,
there's
a
long
list
of
items
that
I
I
think
it's
a
way
to
create
accessibility
of
how
we're
working
on
city
government
projects
and
the
community
can
feel
comfortable
to
want
to
talk
about
at
this
time.
So
it's
always
a
really
good
report.
I
So
with
that
said,
I
wanted
to
bring
up
for
myself.
There's
two
items:
the
technology
auditing
that
that's
going
on
right.
Now,
good
luck
with
your
ai
issues
and
trying
to
define
ai
in
civil
rights
and
civil
protection
terms.
Alpr
consumer
data
collection
practices
have
been
doing
those
these
things
and
doing
some
incredible
work.
I
I
F
Yeah
and
and
thank
you
again
joe
for
the
work
that
you
do
and
how,
how
many
departments
you
your
you're,
oversea
and
and
creating
a
body
of
knowledge
because
you're
once
we
get
your
information,
we're
looking
at
it
and
it's
like
kind
of
like
a
like
a
diagnostic
test,
and
then
we
view
it
with
a
certain
perspective.
Okay,
so
one
of
the
things
that
I
want
to
talk
about
with
respect
to
the
audit
is
that
we
do
not
have.
Racism
is
not
fought
by
holding
up
a
sign
on
a
street
corner.
F
Racism
is
not
fought
by
removing
a
statue
or
removing
a
name
from
the
building.
Racism
is
fought
when
you
know
the
language
of
racism
within
the
context
of
those
audits,
and
this
city
has
not
ever
challenged
itself
to
learn
what
that
language
sounds
like
what
it
looks
like
it
never
has
name.
I
would
challenge
anybody
in
the
listening
of
my
voice
to
point
to
the
time
when
the
racism
and
the
way
that
it
manifests
in
policy
was
articulated.
F
What,
because
at
the
last
a
couple
months
ago,
I
I
asked
you
a
question
and
he
said:
no,
I
don't
have
it
and
the
question
was:
do
you
know
how
equity
is
defined
in
these
documents,
because
you
mentioned
the
word
five
times,
so
I'm
assuming
that
you
know
what
is
it
and
the
answer
to
what
he
answered
he
answered
honestly.
He
said
I
don't
know
what
it
is.
I
said,
then,
why
are
you
using
the
word?
This
is.
This
is
that's
where
the
crime
is
right.
There
that's
right.
B
D
You
know
needs
to
make
comments
on
this
or
control
this
or
you
know,
and
again
it
just
shows
the
the
interconnectedness
of
us.
You
know
that
so
much
of
what
you
know
and
that
san
jose,
I
appreciate
that
they
they
looking
out
outside
of
our
own
city,
our
our
leaders.
You
know
our
politicians
are
seeing
that
you
know
the
issues
that
are
of
the
state
and
of
the
federal
government
are
critical
to
the
well.
D
You
know
looking
outside
just
the
individual
citizens
here,
but
the
greater
good
for
the
greater
good
and-
and
this
is
important-
and
you
know-
and
and
that's
where
I
was
bringing
up
the
issues
of
of
to
say
that
we
need
that
public
comment
in
the
beginning,
and
I
can
discuss
it
later.
But
it's
it's
you
know
and
then
to
say
that
when
mayor
lucato
says
oh
well,
then
you'll
talk
about
federal
issues.
D
We
see
that
the
interconnectedness
of
the
well-being
of
all
of
us
is
critical
and
how
we,
you
know
how
we're
going
forward
and
to
use
our
local
power
as
a
city
to
influence
for
the
greater
good
is
important.
And
so
you
know
that's
where
we
need
to
talk
about
all
the
things
that
we're
doing
and
it's
a
big
job.
And
and
so
we
really
need
the
thing
that
I'm
talking
about
now.
Is
I'm
wanting
the
two
two
minutes
for
common
sense.
I
call
it
common
sense
s-e-n-s-e.
D
C
E
As
I'm
sure
you
know,
california
remains
a
model
for
providing
and
protective
protecting
access
to
reproductive
health
care
and
reproductive
freedoms,
and
it's
really
inspiring
to
see
that
san
jose
is
seeking
to
serve
as
a
model
for
what
cities
can
do
to
support
access
to
reproductive
health
care
as
other
states
and
communities
mobilize
against
reproductive
freedom.
California
has
continued
to
build
a
comprehensive
system
of
supporting
those
seeking
sexual
and
reproductive
care,
supporting
both
the
patients
and
the
medical
professional
professionals
who
care
for
them.
E
Moreover,
because
reproductive
freedom
is
intertwined
with
many
issues
of
social
justice
such
as
economic,
gender
and
racial
equity,
a
strong
support
system
for
reproductive
freedom
ensures
that
all
people
from
all
backgrounds
have
access
to
the
care
they
need
when
they
need
it.
To
this
day,
california
remains
a
champion
of
reproductive
freedom,
and
today
san
jose,
hopefully,
will
be
taking
a
step
to
serving
as
an
exemplary
model
of
commitment
to
defend
and
fight
for
reproductive
freedom
and
health
care.
So
thank
you
for
discussing
this
topic.
F
Yes,
thank
you
paul
soto
from
the
horseshoe
page
three
of
that
document.
Whoever
wrote
that
page,
you
need
to
be
proud
of
yourself.
Congratulate
yourself.
I
personally
thank
you
because
it
it
is
a
beautifully
crafted
piece
of
writing
the
ideas
that,
in
the
premise
that
the
page
3
is
building
on,
is
what
fighting
against
racism
looks
like.
F
It
is
a
very
good
clear
example
that
you
must,
in
every
single
policy,
acknowledge
that
the
policies
that
we
as
a
collective
city
are
instituting
today
must
have
a
reflection
of
that
past
within
those
documents
and
what
that
looks
like
is
page
three,
because
you
get
the
social
justice
issues
that
we
all
know.
We
don't
have
to
talk
about
that
right
now,
but
what
we
do
have
to
talk
about
is
that
it
is
not
being
articulated
in
every
single
policy.
F
F
So
these
are
the
things
that
I'm
talking
about,
okay
and
because
because
this
is
what's
gonna
happen
and
that's
why
the
saudi
city
is
so
resistant
is
what's
gonna
happen
is
that
resource
allocations
are
gonna
shift,
and
that
means
it's
going
to
pull
not
economic
power,
but
the
lust
for
the
political
you
see,
because
the
political
power
is
is
tied
to
the
financial
power.
Once
we
start
shifting
those
powers,
it
provides
other
people
with
more
power
and
access
to
it
and
access
to
it
and
which
brings
a
perversion
into
it.
It
affects
the
nonprofits.
B
G
Thank
you
vice
mayor
and
I'm
proud
to
stand
with:
council
members,
carrasco,
davis,
arenas
and
foley
on
this
memo.
We
all
brought
this
resolution
forward
because,
frankly,
this
is
a
it's
a
frightening
time
for
women.
It's
a
frightening
time
for
those
who
value
reproductive
freedom
and
the
ability
to
make
choices
about
their
own
health
and
bodies.
G
We
do
not
know
what
the
outcome
of
these
cases
will
be.
What
we
do
know
is
the
numerous
states
are
mobilizing
to
push
laws
that
undermine
these
long
established
rights
and
freedoms.
The
texas
law
sets
ten
thousand
dollar
bounties
against
not
only
patients,
but
physicians
and
other
health
care
workers
should
roe,
be
overturned.
G
17
states,
17
have
existing
abortion
bans
or
trigger
laws
that
would
go
into
effect
almost
immediately,
and
so
the
health
and
safety
of
millions
of
people
are
at
stake.
Reproductive
health
care
providers
have
recently
warned
us
here
in
the
bay
area
that
there's
an
above-ground
railroad
between
texas
and
the
bay
area
to
provide
reproductive
care,
which
is
a
huge
step
back
for
us,
even
in
california.
G
Even
in
california,
we
face
opposition
to
reproductive
freedom
that
impact
our
residents.
The
recent
passage
of
sb
742,
which
creates
protest
buffer
zones
around
clinics
that
offer
vaccines,
has
been
challenged
by
abortion.
Opponents
who
protest
at
clinics
that
offer
both
services,
even
here
a
woman's
right
to
freely
access
health
care
that
she's
constitutionally
guaranteed,
does
not
come
without
threat
of
harassment
or
intimidation.
G
So
san
jose
has
long
stood
up
for
the
reproductive
rights
of
women
as
affirmed
in
our
passage
of
the
convention
on
the
elimination
of
all
forms
of
discrimination
against
women
in
1999
and
in
the
2017
passage
of
the
women's
bill
of
rights
here
in
san
jose.
So
today's
national
crisis
demands
that
we
speak
up
against
this
threat
to
equal
access
to
health
care
for
millions
of
women,
and
I
urge
the
rules
committee
to
move
this
resolution
to
the
council
for
full
adoption.
Thank
you.
E
Thank
you.
I
want
to
thank
council
member
esparza
for
leading
us
on
this
issue.
It's
it's
just
so
important
for
us
to
uphold
roe
versus
wade
as
the
law
of
the
land
and
to
affirm
that
it's
very
important
for
me
as
a
as
a
woman
for
abortion
to
be
safe
and
legal,
and-
and
I
prefer
for
it
to
be
rare,
as
I
think
most
people
do,
and
I
just
think
it's
really
important
for
us
to
stand
up.
E
I
don't
normally
like
us
to
take
a
stance
on
national
issues
that
we
don't
have
direct
control
over,
but
in
the
instances
of
immigration
and
abortion,
I
think
it's
very
important
for
us
to
stand
up
for
our
residents
who,
whose
lives
are
impacted
by
these
issues.
So
I,
with
that,
I
will
move
move
approval
of
this
item.
E
J
J
J
We
must
continue
with
the
progress
that
we've
seen
so
far
in
our
country
and
it
has
to
be
for
everyone,
and
so
thank
you,
council,
member
esparza,
for
bringing
these
issues
to
light.
These
are
national
issues,
but
they
impact
our
our
lives
on
a
in
a
very
meaningful
way
because
they
give
agency
to
to
us
as
women
and
and
allow
us
to
to
continue
to
progress
with
the
rights
that
should
never
be
as
part
of
a
discussion
as
far
as
I'm
concerned,
but
so
anyways.
J
We,
we
could
go
along
with
this
for
a
really
long
time,
because
the
impacts
of
abortion
and
restrictions
just
really
influence
the
way
that
women
carry
themselves
in
a
society
in
the
way
that
they
are
valued
or
undervalued
in
a
society.
And
so
thank
you
for
for
putting
that
value
back
on
the
table
and-
and
this
conversation
back
on
the
table.
Council
members
far
zone.
B
Thank
you,
councilmember
arenas.
Before
we
have
a
vote,
I
just
have
a
quick
question
alex
you
know
from
time
to
time.
We
have
these
resolutions
and
proposals
that
come
to
rules
and
sometimes
there's
a
conversation
in
terms
of
whether
this
is
an
item
that
is
within
our
guiding
principles
or
has
previous
council
direction
or
support?
B
G
You
know
I'd
also
like
to
invite
lee
to
talk
a
little
bit
more,
maybe
more
broadly
about
the
city's
policy
about
how
we
bring
forward
resolutions,
because
I
think
it's
a
little
bit
more.
It's
a
little
different
from
things
that
align
within
our
legislative
program.
So
maybe,
if
you
can,
he
can
speak
to
that.
G
I
will
note
that
we
don't
have
a
policy
currently
in
our
legislative
program
around
reproductive
rights,
but
I
think
generally
with
the
practice
of
first
starting
with
the
rules
committee
for
with
the
discussion
and
deciding
to
then
bring
it
to
council
for
a
broader
discussion
instead
of
part
of
our
standard
process
but
I'll
I'll.
Let
lee
weigh
in
as
well.
E
K
K
But
with
that
said
they
this
actually
certainly
aligns
with
a
lot
of
the
values
that
are
in
that
document
and
values
that
the
organization
has
made
over
a
period
of
time.
So,
in
a
lot
of
ways,
we
can
do
this
work
and
bring
it
forward.
But
again
it's
it's
left
to
the
rules
committee
and
then
the
full
council
to
make
that
policy
determination,
because
it
really
is
a
policy
stance,
not
a
huge
workload
by
staff.
At
this
point.
B
Great
well,
thank
you
for
that
that
clarification
it.
It
really
wasn't
about
this
particular
item,
which
I
totally
support
and
I'm
gonna
vote
to
move
forward,
but
just
we're
going
to
have
items
coming
in
the
future,
and
I
just
want
to
try
to
have
some
consistency
in
terms
of
how
we
we
manage
and
and
process
those
proposals
or
or
items
councilmember
perales
go
ahead.
C
D
All
right,
thank
you.
Well,
it
was
interesting
to
hear
what
you
see.
I
don't
see
my
others
interesting
alexandria
felton
as
our
inter-governmental
relations
officer.
So
yes,
we
spend
money
and
hire
staff
to
deal
with
federal
issues
and
state
issues,
and
so
that
argument
that
you
know
we
should
not
have
our
you
know
we
can't
have
our
public
speakers
talking
about
trump
is
what
mayor
le
cardo
said
because
I'd
be
off
topic.
That's
bs!
D
You
know
that's
bs,
because
we
see
how
we're
all
interconnected
and
and
what
happens
at
the
federal
and
state
affects
us
and
so
to
say
that
so
we
really
need
to
and
berkeley
has
that
berkeley
has
public.
Speaking
in
the
beginning
of
the
meeting-
and
you
know
and
also
palo
alto,
I
mean
and
the
city
of
the
santa
clara
valley,
I
mean
santa
clara
county.
Has
it
in
the
beginning
of
the
meeting?
Bta
has
it
in
the
beginning
of
the
meeting
and
what
like
blair
brought
me.
D
The
history
was
when
so
many
people
came
to
it
was
under.
You
know:
we've
had
so
much
ruling
under
mayor
licardo.
He
has
been
in
power
for
so
long
and
and
so
it's
2014
and
2015,
where
there
were
a
lot
of
housing
issues
and
a
lot
of
people
came,
and
he
got
all
that
that
his
agenda
quote
unquote.
The
money-making
agenda
money's
the
root
of
all
evil.
Don't
forget
that,
and-
and
so
he
didn't
want
that,
you
know
he
wanted.
So
he
put
it
at
the
end
of
the
agenda.
D
You
know
and
what's
ironic
about
it-
and
sadly
ironic
is
that
here
we
are
with
our
housing
crisis.
Our
climate
crisis-
and
you
know
to
say
that
it
should
be
at
the
end
of
the
agenda-
is
wrong
because
you
need
the
people
to
be
able
to
make
it
easy
for
the
people
to
communicate,
and
we
saw
that
you
know
in
the
meeting
yesterday
where
the
woman
who's
homeless
doesn't
have
a
bathroom
or
or
a
way
to
clean
her
hands.
I
mean
these.
D
Are
the
you
know,
critical
issues
that
we're
dealing
with
as
we
go
more
into
crises,
we
need
to
be
able
to
hear
from
the
people,
and
that
is
your
role
and
to
say
that
the
you
know
the
expediency
of
the
meeting
is
utmost
is
wrong
because
the
you
know
we
set
the
agenda.
You
are
our
representatives
and
we
must
put
the
public
comment
in
the
beginning
of
the
meeting
to
help
the
people
get
to
the.
I
Hi
guy
we've
been
here
thanks
for
the
words
of
tessa,
you
know,
I'm
we've
been
talking
about
the
issue
a
bit
and
we
have
our
own
thinking
and
the
same
with
paul.
I
really
like
paul's
words
about
you
know.
This
is
a
time
we
can
be
considering
about.
You
know
the
democratic
process
itself.
I
mean
it's
a
really
important
goal
of
the
work
of
reimagine
that
we
should
be
doing.
I
How
can
community
everyday
community
have
more
part
and
in
the
process,
so
you
know
to
deal
with
just
democratic
ideals
of
the
public
meeting
process
is
a
great
way
to
do
that.
I
think,
and
so
yeah
you
know
with
the
city
charter
issues,
I
mean,
we've
been
working,
we've
been
considering
new
ways
of
working,
and
you
know
it's
been
brought
up
several
times.
How
public
comment
at
the
beginning
of
a
meeting?
Can
it
just
gives
everybody
a
good
place?
I
I
This
is
something
we
can
work
on,
doesn't
have
to
be
right
away,
but
I
hope
we
can
be
working
on
this
and
to
address
the
city
attorney's
issue
about
you
know.
I
think
it
is
it's
part
of
the
brown
acc
itself
that
allows
a
person
to
ask
if
an
item
can
be
pulled
from
consent.
The
public
has
a
right
to
ask
that.
I
hope
we
can
really
work
on
that
issue
more
and
come
to
some
clarification
as
well.
Thank
you.
F
F
I'm
not
going
to
debate
that
with
anybody,
because
then
it
would
legitimize
another
perspective
and
there
this
is
the
perspective,
so
the
democratic
by
by
circumventing
the
democratic
process
for
exercising
powers,
which
you
did
vice
mayor
and
jimenez.
I
was
surprised
to
see
both
of
your
names
on
that
document.
You
were
interfering
with
the
process.
We've
got
it,
we've
got
it
okay,
there
are
people
that
go
to
that
meeting,
that
they
still
every
single
day,
live
with
the
loss
of
their
loved
one
and
they
go
there
and
they
speak,
and
we
listen.
Why?
F
Because
we're
a
community
and
we're
constantly
being
connected
to
that
energy,
that
those
police
officers
produced
in
that
family
and
we
embrace
her.
We
embrace
her
and
we
welcome
them.
This
is
a
form
by
which
you
can
speak
just
like
the
great
men
of
old
in
greece.
Is
that
not
where
we
got
our
word
democracy,
power
of
the
people?
Not
systems
not
systems
people,
regular
people,
but
yet,
when
two
black
men
at
san
jose
state
university
put
up
their
fist
in
solidarity
with
their
brothers,
what
did
the
city
do
to
them?
F
M
Thank
you.
Thank
you
good
afternoon,
everyone,
scott
largent.
I
got
a
little
down
time
right
now,
meeting
my
daughter
over
at
starboard
park
around
four
o'clock.
I
normally
play
with
her
over
at
the
parks
for
about
two
and
a
half
to
three
hours
every
day,
primarily
in
the
city
of
san
jose.
Sometimes
I
make
it
over
to
los
gatos.
M
An
incident
occurred
now,
I'm
familiar
with
the
way
starboard
park
was
20
25
years
ago.
The
park
has
cleaned
up
a
lot
and
I
really
enjoy
the
families
out
there.
It's
just
a
mixture
of
just
everybody
and
it's
a
great
place
to
take
my
daughter,
the
problem
that
we're
having
out
there
is
the
extremely
vulnerable
mentally
ill
that
are,
in
our
community
end
up,
of
course,
at
parks
and
when
they
go
through
some
type
of
psychosis
or
they
get
into
you
know,
drugs
that
are
laced
with
fentanyl.
M
You
just
never
know
what
it
is,
but
what
I'm
trying
to
get
at
is.
Yesterday
there
was
an
african-american
woman,
she's
kind
of
a
staple
of
the
area
there.
She
was
just
heightened
anxiety.
She
was
kind
of
flipping
out
starts.
Taking
clothes
off
starts
kind
of
panicking
grabbing
herself,
all
weird
several
of
the
mothers
on
the
playground,
kind
of
calmed
her
down.
We
got
her
to
sit
down
next
to
a
tree
now,
she's
right
in
the
kids
playground
pretty
much,
we
contacted
the
paramedics,
you
know
they
showed
up.
M
The
fire
department
showed
up
san
jose,
pd
showed
up
what
I'm
getting
at.
Is
they
never
were
able
to
help
this
woman?
They
said
that
is
her.
You
know,
that's
her
normal,
that's
her
baseline,
which
I
find
extremely
shocking.
They
couldn't
even
put
her
on
a
two-day
hold,
a
two-week
hold,
even
stabilize
her
shower
up
and
figure
out.
M
What's
going
on,
none
of
it
happened,
and
it's
very
hard
to
explain
this
to
a
six-year-old
my
daughter's
six
years
old,
and
I
had
to
also
explain
this
to
the
20
other
children
that
are
on
the
playground.
So
they
can
kind
of
understand,
that's
very
hard.
Something
is
majorly
broken
and
that
costs
a
lot
of
money
for
everybody
to
come
out
there
not.
