Yeah
hi,
thank
you
where
beekman
here
in
the
last
week
of
april,
so
things
are
a
bit
softer
and
casual
at
this
time.
Thanks
for
the
meeting
today,
I
wanted
to
talk
about
the
there'll,
be
a
lot
of
covet
issues
on
on
next
week's
agenda
and
it
sounds
like
you'll
be
nicely
trying
to
go
over
what
exactly
you
know.
How
can
we
can
be?
E
How
can
we
begin
to
prepare
for
the
next
six
months
in
the
next
few
years
in
san
jose
and
what
will
be
kind
of
our
programs
and
what
will
be
our
thinking
and
I'm
interested
just
simply?
How
do
we
develop?
You
know
with
all
the
new
funding
ideas
that
are
happening
at
this
time.
How
do
we
develop
our
future?
E
You
know
it's
even
though
the
mask
mandate,
you
know
nationally,
has
been
like
a
bit
lifted.
I
think
we
really
have
to
be
cautious
here
at
the
local
level
for
at
least
another
month
or
two
and
consider
what's
going
on
in
southeast
asia
and
in
india
and
people
from
southeast
asia
and
china.
They
come
over
to
san
jose
a
lot
and
I
I
go
to
aaci
medical
center
in
in
west
san
jose,
and
that
takes
care
of
a
lot
of
chinese
population
who
have
a
lot
of
relatives.
E
E
F
G
I'm
happy
to
answer
that.
The
answer
is
really
agenda
management
for
the
fourth.
We
do
have
a
3.1
that
could
be
lengthy
and
we
do
really
want
to
start
the
study
session
exactly
at
six,
so
the
community
can
participate,
so
we
rec.
That
was
the
reason
for
deferring
3.7
and
3.8
to
the
11th
which
isn't
as
crowded
as
next
week.
Okay,.
C
A
No,
my
understanding
that
deferral
was
being
requested
by
the
manager's
office
because
of
the
agenda
issues
we're
still
looking
the
differences.
We've
provided
an
overview
of
the
differences.
We
don't
have
input
yet
on
from
council
on
whether
or
not
there's
anything
else
that
they
would
like
to
see
in
the
ordinance
that
isn't
encompassed
by
the
state.
So
we
don't
have
that
piece
of
information,
but
my
understanding
from
last
week's
rules
is
that
there
was
less
pressure
to
have
an
urgency.
B
A
I
I
There
was
a
clause
that
we
had
taken
from
san
francisco
right
in
regards
to
some
hardship,
and
so
I
would
just
say
I
think
you
know
I
don't
think,
there's
probably
much
to
add,
but
I
do
think
that
there
was
some
valuable
work
that
that
your
staff
had
pulled
up
that
might
be
worthwhile
to
bring
forward
that
could
augment
what
the
state
has
the
one.
I
think
stickler
that
caused
us
to
delay.
I
The
first
time
was
in
regards
to
what
to
do
with
right,
a
a
business,
and
in
this
case
we
have
the
fairmont
claiming
bankruptcy,
and
I
think
the
state
has
addressed
that
more
or
less
for
us.
So
that
might
be,
if
I
think
we
may
have
things
resolved,
to
come
forward
with
a
fairly
similar
ordinance
to
the
state
with.
Maybe
just
some,
you
know
minor
additions
that
we
had
originally
originally
contemplated
in
ours.
That
would
be
my
my
feedback
and
direction
on
what
we
hopefully
could
see
in
two
weeks
now.
B
A
A
E
E
Clean
with
clean
energy
issues,
you
offer
two
new
subsidy
programs
that
you're
going
to
be
putting
into
place
for
community
to
have
choices.
You
know
how
how
to
pay
for
their
community
energy
needs
it's
using
pg
e,
and
it
is
really
really
good
and
it's
good
to
hear,
and
it's
hopeful
and
you
know
from
it.
E
You
can
gather
up
renewable
energy
ideas
and
avoid
the
ground
and
the
same
round
energy,
the
fossil
fuel
dirty
fuel
energy,
which
san
jose
is
stuck
with
right
now,
so
you
know
good
luck
on
those
efforts.
How
you
know
the
next
step
is,
we
can
really
make
renewables,
and
you
know
we
can
do
be
offering
renewables.
E
You
know
for
the
next
few
years,
and
and
if
there
is
a
major
natural
disaster
coming
up,
we
can
be
prepared
and
continue
renewable
practices
after
a
natural
disaster
and
not
have
to
rely
on
dirty
fossil
fuels
for
generators
and
such
for
so
long.
Your
other
item
is
about
fireworks
ordinance.
I
have
a
minute
ten
I'll
try
to
make
this
really
quick
about
20
seconds.
Hopefully
you
have
a
fireworks
ordinance.
E
You
know
it's
my
hope
that
you
don't
surveil
everybody
to
death
on
this
and
really
consider
state
and
federal
ways
to
look
into
these
matters
the
same
with
gun
issues
and
really
address
work
with
state
and
federal
agencies,
don't
arrest
and
nail
people
at
the
local
level.
That's
that's
my
hope.
Thank
you.
A
I
Thank
you
sorry.
So
this
is
a
little
more
in
general
and
I
may
just
give
the
clerk
a
heads
up
and
maybe
something
to
to
come
back,
and
if
it
needs
a
memo,
then
it
can
take
a
memo,
but
in
noticing
that
we've
now
had
the
captions
it
important
times
when
we
come
to
the
vote
is
maybe
some
of
the
worst
because
it
doesn't
recognize
most
of
our
names.
I'm
paralysis,
usually,
which
is
pretty
close,
but
everybody
else
is,
is
you
know?
I
Jones
is
pretty
good,
but
everybody
else
is
just
you
know,
doesn't
recognize
names
and
then
I'm
also,
I
consistently
will
say
I
or
nays
right
versus
yes's
and
nose
and
it
it
totally
messes
those
up.
It's
it's.
It's
all
over
the
place
with
the
letter
I,
and
sometimes
it
says
hi,
and
so
I
just
think
that
you
know
we.
We
had
some
recommendations
that
we
put
forward
last
summer
out
of
my
office
to
on
on
some
best
practices
as
we're
working
through
these
zoo
meetings.
I
Now
that
we
have
the
captions,
I
think
it
just
may
be
worthwhile
to
think
about
some
more.
You
know
updates
to
how
we
might
make
it
more
clear
for
people
that
are
hard
of
hearing
and
that
are
truly
using
the
captions.
When
we
come
to
a
vote,
I
don't
I
don't
know
how
they're
figuring
out
you
know
who's
voting
for
what,
because
literally,
you
can't
even
necessarily
tell
sometimes
it's
a
vote,
and
so
I
myself
too,
am
going
to
try
to
use.
Yes.
H
B
H
G
B
B
A
I
B
E
D
E
Thank
you
very
much
yeah.
Thank
you.
Once
again,
you
have
you
know
dumpster
day
issues.
Thank
you
to
your
city,
government
staff,
who
are
are
doing
a
great
job
in
in
bringing
this
to
council
agendas,
and
I
guess
you
know
I
can
offer
the
next
step
and
just
try
to
remind
everyone
here
the
importance
of
what
a
dumpster
day
on
a
saturday
morning,
how
it
you
know,
can
bring
together
all
parts
of
a
neighborhood.
E
You
know
people
with
homes
and
people
without
homes
and
it's
a
way
to
really
bring
along,
bring
out
conversation,
and
you
know
getting
it
together,
figuring
out
what
what's
going
on
in
one's
neighborhood
and
what
people
can
expect
of
each
other.
I
think
it's
a
really
interesting
purpose
and
good
cause,
and
I
hope
everybody
is
into
it
and
and
call
city
government
staff
and
ask
questions
to
them.
You
know
to
anybody
out
there.
You
know,
ask
ask
them
questions.
E
E
B
B
J
Hi
just
wanted
to
thank
you
guys
for
everything
you
do.
I
just
wanted
to
support
this.
I
think
that
it's
great
to
have
dumpsters
day
I've
seen
a
lot
of
these
events
happening
in
district
five,
and
I
want
to
say
how
success
that's
what
they
are.
I
volunteer
them
and
I
can
tell
you
the
relief
of
so
many
families
when
you
have
these
and
a
lot
of
city
council
members
have
done
this
consistently,
and
I
think
that
is
part
of
the
solution
right
when
we
have
illegal
dumping
and
garbage
around
our
neighborhoods.
K
K
We
can
fight
this
illegal
dumping
by
organizing
the
community,
educate
the
community
and
make
sure
we
only
not
clean
it,
but
also
keep
it
clean
and,
at
the
same
time,
stay
vigilant
to
not
let
other
people
dumping
trying
to
put
a
fine
to
people,
especially
now
they
we
have
a
lot
of
homeless
who
they
don't
know.
They
don't
have
a
place
where
to
them.
They
don't
know
where
to
go.
They
don't
have
a
house,
they
don't.
Therefore
they
don't
have
a
to
dump
their
garbage.
K
I
mean
this
is
clear:
this
law,
this
policy,
it
has
a
it-
has
a
name
and
the
name
is
targeting
homeless
and
that's
not
acceptable.
You
will
want
to
target,
come
back
or
fight
illegal
dumping.
Well,
that's
a
good
way
like
brenda
what
she
was
saying:
two
more
dumpsters,
so
people
can
have
a
place
where
to
dump
this
garbage,
instead
of
just
targeting
and
and
use
the
law
against
people.
A
G
B
L
L
There
were
on
that
day
there
were
some
blue
memos
that
were
issued
for
the
march
23rd
spring
igr
report
that
requested
support
of
physicians
on
several
bills
and
three
of
the
bills
did
not
have
a
specific
council
adopted
policy
and
the
city's
legislative
program.
So
we
were
directed
by
the
full
council
to
bring
these
bills
back
for
review
and
adoption
of
a
city
position.
So
what
I'll
do
is
just
I'm
just
going
to
provide
a
brief
overview
of
all
bills,
all
three
bills
and
then
I'll
open
it
up
for
questions.
L
The
bill
is
actually
sort
of
an
extension
from
ab10
from
assemblymember
garcia,
which
was
signed
into
law
back
in
2017,
and
it
requires
that
a
public
school
that
serves
grades
6
through
12
and
meets
the
40
pupil
poverty
threshold.
That's
required
to
operate
a
school-wide
title,
1
program
to
stock,
at
least
50
percent
of
their
restrooms,
the
school's
restrooms
with
menstrual
products
and
at
all
times,
and
in
the
case
of
ab367.
L
So,
in
terms
of
the
cost
for
the
city
of
san
jose,
the
staff
has
found
that
the
cost
would
be
fairly
minimal
to
provide
these
products
at
no
charge.
Since
2017,
the
city
has
provided
mr
products
free
of
charge
in
the
employee-only
city
hall,
restrooms
at
a
cost
of
roughly
700
to
a
thousand
dollars
annually,
and
to
extend
that
program
to
include
publicly
accessible
restrooms
that
are
city-wide
sites.
That
includes
our
park.
Restrooms
regional
wastewater
facility
and
the
airport
would
cost
roughly
about
ten
thousand
dollars
annually.
L
So
staff
is
recommending
a
support
position
on
831
and
specifically
that
bill
would
establish
a
working
group
that
would
set
data
collection
and
reporting
standards
for
key
health
indicators
and
make
recommendations,
including
methods
to
facilitate
evidence
building
through
standardized
local
and
state
reporting.
Linking
that
data
sharing
between
local
state
and
federal
agencies,
and
also
data
on
social
determinants
of
health,
including
that
as
well
and
the
working
group,
would
also
be
tasked
with
developing
standards
for
high
priority
covid19
element.
L
So
that's
another
part
of
the
bill
and
that's
something
that
would
go
into
effect
within
30
days
after
the
passage
of
the
bill,
and
that
would
that
data
would
also
include
genomic,
epidemiology
and
modeling
outbreak,
preparedness
and
or
modeling
for
outbreak,
preparedness
and
response.
And
that
bill
is
currently
in
the
house
subcommittee
on
health.
It
was
only
it
was
recently
introduced
within
the
within
the
past
couple
of
months,
so
we're
continuing
to
track
that
and
then.
Finally,
the
last
bill
on
the
agenda
is
hr.
L
L
Representative
anna
eshoo
is
also
a
co-sponsor
of
this
bill
and
we're
bringing
that
forward
at
the
direction
of
a
blue
memo
from
council
member
mayhem
and
who
the
the
blue
member
recommended
that
the
city
adopt
a
support
position
again.
If
there
is
some
alignment
with
some
of
the
key
aims
of
our
covet
19
response
mitigation
policy
in
the
legislative
program.
But
there
isn't
a
specific
council
adopted
policy
in
the
legislative
program
for
nursing,
home
oversight
and
enforcement.
But
staff
is
recommending
a
support
position
on
hr
1985..
L
L
One
thing
I
wanted
to
add
in
terms
of
sort
of
local
impact
is,
according
to
the
most
recent
po
list,
that
was
posted
by
back
in
march
by
the
centers
for
medicare
and
medicaid
services.
There
currently
are
no
special
focused
facilities
in
the
city
of
city
of
san
jose,
but
there
are
36
in
the
state
of
california
and
three
in
the
bay
area,
one
in
fairfield
menlo
park
in
san
francisco.
L
The
bill
itself
was
introduced
in
on
march
17th
and
the
author
has
not
actually
released
texts.
The
full
text
for
the
bill,
but
the
author's
staff
has
advised
that
the
bill
is
identical
to
hr
9021,
which
was
introduced
last
year,
and
that's
one.
That's
that's
the
language
that
the
staff
reviewed
for
for
this
particular
presentation.
B
M
I
was
gonna
say,
I'm
not
sure
how
much
I
have
to
add.
I
I
think
you
know
when-
and
this
is
my
first
time
going
through
the
city's
process
of
identifying
legislative
priorities
to
add
to
the
the
kind
of
the
the
the
portfolio
of
things
that
we
advocate
for,
and
I
certainly
to
the
to
I
understand-
there's
limited
staff
time.
So
I
would
you
know,
trust
that
staff
would
kind
of
figure
out
how
to
weigh
these
these
against
other
legislative
priorities.
That
may
have
more
impact
in
the
city
of
san
jose.
M
But
when
we
went
through
the
exercise
at
council,
my
my
team
and
I
went
through
as
many
of
the
bills
in
congress
and
at
the
state
legislature
as
we
could
that
seemed
relevant
to
covid
response
and
recovery.
That
was
thematically
what
we
were
looking
at
and
I
think
we
actually
suggested
three,
one
of
which
had
to
do
with
broadband
access
from
our
local
congresswoman
zolofgrin,
and
I
believe
council
already
moved
that
one
forward,
the
two
that
alexandria
just
described.
M
M
It
seemed
to
our
staff,
when
we
did
the
initial
pass
at
this
and
highlighted
these
three
bills
of
which
we're
talking
about
two
today,
that
healthcare
data
sharing
collection
standards
and
really
improving
the
quality
of
the
data
in
our
national
art
healthcare
system
nationally
and
the
performance
and
and
quality
of
our
nursing
homes
felt
like
two
areas
where
we
were
severely
lacking
and
the
covid
pandemic.
I
think
just
made
even
even
clearer.
I
think
we
already
knew.
M
We
had
big
gaps
there,
but
just
made
very,
very
clear
that
there
are
real
problems,
and
so
the
fact
that
we've
got
a
local
congresswoman
championing
these
bills
as
a
co-signer,
and
they
feel
just
very
aligned
with
the
kind
of
values
that
we
have
as
a
city
and
what
we
would
hope
for
from
a
covid
response
over
time
from
our
federal
government.
They
felt
appropriate
for
us
to
at
least
say
we're
in
support
of,
but
again
I
I
would
hope
this
would
be
a
big
expenditure
of
staff,
time
and
resources.
M
You
know
if
it
can
be
kind
of
packaged
in
with
other
federal
advocacy.
I
think
that
could
be
a
a
positive
and
it
would
be
good
to
add
or
add
our
name
out
our
voice
to
these
very
worthy
bills.
In
my
opinion,
so
that's
I
think,
alexandria
gave
you
the
summary
much
better
than
I
could
have
so
I'll
stop
there.
But
thanks
for
your
consideration.
B
E
E
There
was
some
sort
of
wi-fi
funding
needed
with
zoe
lofgren,
and
I
wanted
to
remind
from
yesterday
you
know:
I'm
I'm
really
trying
to
find
ways
that
you
know
we
can
talk
about
open
public
policy
in
helping
bridge
the
digital
divide
and
it
doesn't
have
to
be
outlaw
talk
or
being
a
rebel.
I
mean,
I
think
it
can
be
very
matter
of
fact,
and
very
community
oriented
and
what
are
good
practices
and
and
to
really
consider
in
your
neighborhood.
E
Right
back,
I'm
at
an
end
council
person
jones.
I
was
concluding
my
thought
on
the
subject,
and
now
I
move
on
to
the
health
questions,
which
are
very
much
related
to
the
four
and
five
g
issues
that
was
spoken
about
by
council
person,
mayhem
that
to
continue
talking
in
my
public
comment
time
about
the
health
surveillance
issues,
that's
become,
you
know
it
can
be
an
issue
as
long
as
the
same
as
four
and
five
g
surveillance.
You
know,
surveillance
issues
with
with
kobit.
You
know
fremont
school
system.
E
They
could
not
open
their
school
systems
this
year
because
they
wanted
to
involve
technology
in
the
reopening
process
and
I
think
they
got
hampered
and
got
locked
up.
I
don't
know
how
that
happened
and
how
that
worked
in
san
jose,
but
civil
rights
and
civil
protections
are
incredibly
important
to
the
surveillance
and
technology
process.
Sir,
I
mean
I'm
sorry,
I'm
sorry.
J
J
It's
a
human
need,
and
I
don't
think
any
woman
should
ever
have
to
pay
for
that.
I
think
it
should
have
always
been
free,
I'm
still
waiting
for
the
day
that
it's
free
and
we
no
longer
have
to
purchase
these
in
the
stores.
But
I
want
to
thank
you
guys
for
bringing
this
and
I'm
excited
to
see
this
being
passed
and
supported
by
you
guys,
and
you
guys
have
a
wonderful
day.
I
Yeah
first
off,
thank
you.
Alexandria
certainly
have
enjoyed
working
over
the
years
with
benna
and
she
will
be
missed,
but
I
think
you
just
demonstrated-
and
you
have
over
the
the
last
year
or
so
on
on
how
well
of
a
job
you're
going
to
be
able
to
do
to
pick
up.
That
was
a
tremendous
report
back
on
on
these
three
bills.
I
In
regards
to
the
the
feminine
hygiene
products
we
have
had
actually
at
city
hall.
For
the
last
couple
years
have
had
them
funded
for
free,
and
it
was
in
a
conversation
actually
with
my
my
staff
during
a
retreat
a
number
of
years
ago
that
we
were
kicking
around
ideas
on
equity
and,
and
this
idea
had
come
up,
had
had
come
up
and,
and
it
was
really
you
know.
I
I
think
in
enlightening
to
me-
to
to
go
into
the
restroom
and
then
realize
that
this
was
something
that
we
were
charging
our
city
employees
for
as
well.
And
then,
when
you
think
about
it
across
the
board
and
that's
what
really
the
status
is
getting
to
now
is
looking
at,
especially
in
schools,
higher
institutions,
public
facilities,
the
importance
of
ensuring
that
feminine
hygiene
products
are
made
available.
I
And
it's
not
something
that
we're
charging
people
for,
especially
when
they're
a
fairly
nominal
cost,
which
is
what
we
found
out
here
locally
at
city
hall
a
couple
years
ago,
and-
and
I
so
I'm
just
happy
that
we're
able
to
support
this
and
build
on
the
efforts
that
that
we
have
have
led
on
here
at
the
city.
And
so
with
that
I'll
make
the
motion
to
approve
the
staff
recommendation
of
support
for
all
three
of
these.
J
H
H
I
had
a
question.
I
wasn't
really
wondering
about
this
piece
because
I
know
it.
This
sounds
like
this
is
already
aligned.
We've
we've
approved
this.
The
council
has
approved
the
feminine
products
and
it's
aligned
with
with,
I
think,
with
our
priorities,
the
other
two
alexandra.
I
heard
that
this
is
there
is
no
legislative
priority
that
is
aligned
to
it.
So
I
was
wondering
what
is
the
level
of
commitment
on
your
part?
I
I
heard
that,
and
I
don't
know
who
said
it,
but
it
could
be
a
dif.
H
L
So
I
think
that
that
really
depends
I
mean
I
think
when
so
when
we
talk
about
sort
of
making
a
legit,
you
know
legislative
priority.
It
means
it's
something,
that's
in
our
legislative
program,
so
it's
sort
of
it's
already
been
adopted
by
council
as
one
of
the
policies
that
we
will
con.
We
will
incorporate
into
our
advocacy
throughout
the
year,
so
that's
really
sort
of,
and
so
there's
a
number
there's
a
number
of
bills
and
issues
that
we
do
so
with
adding.
L
You
know
when
it
comes
to
pro
pro
when
it
comes
to
issues
or
bills
that
we're
voting
on
today,
that
wouldn't
be
in
our
legislative
program.
What
you're
doing
is
sort
of
adding
that
to
the
slate
of
issues
that
we
would
then
advocate
on
for
through
igr,
and
so
that
could
include,
as
I
think,
a
couple
of
the
council
members
mentioned,
so
that
could
be
adding
our
name
to
the
coalition.
L
It
could
be
issuing
a
letter.
It
could
be
beyond
that,
but
I
think
it
really
depends
on
what
the
desire
is
and
also
obviously
the
the
bandwidth
of
staff
is
important.
But
it's
also
in
terms
of
the
the
priority
level
that's
communicated
to
us
by
council
as
well,
and
we
follow
council
direction
on
that.
G
These
would
move
forward
council
member
to
the
full
committee,
so
the
full
committee
is
who
has
the
power
to
amend
the
legislative
guiding
principles.
You
know
one
of
the
things
just
to
clarify
that
you
know
we've
tried
to
do
with
the
igr
program
in
the
past.
Is
we
bring
that
forward
in
the
fall
now
before
bills
are
introduced,
and
in
that
memo
we
really
t
up
what
staff
priorities
think
they
should
be.
G
So
I
think
we
try
and
set
those
expectations
with
the
council
in
the
fall
so
that
through
the
year,
that's
where
we're
spending
a
majority
of
our
time
and
these
other
bills
that
you
know
they
either
don't
kind
of
align
with
the
legislative
guiding
principles.
But
it's
still
good.
That's
where
we
can
kind
of
take
through
this
process
and
lend
our
name
because,
as
we
know,
those
coalitions
are
really
important
in
sacramento
and
d.c.
H
Yeah,
I
was
under
the
impression
that
that
the
path
forward
was
when
you
provide
the
legislative
reports
on
a,
I
think,
on
a
quarterly
basis
and
that's
how
we
typically
add
to
the
legislative
report.
So
the
only
concern
I
have
is
is
for
the
nursing
home
reform.
Modernization
act,
I'm
not
sure
what
the
city
of
san
jose
would
how
it
would
relate
to
this
particular
one
or
even
the
health
statistics.
I
mean
I
supported
the
idea
to
have
our
own
health
officer.
H
I
think
council
member
proudly,
you
offered
that
department
nomination.
It
just
didn't.
You
know
the
council
didn't
choose
it
and
so
anyways
I
I
I
want
to
make
sure
that
those
items
are
already
on
the
agenda
on
the
legislative
agenda
that
they
continue
to
get
prioritized
and
and
that
these,
don't
I
don't
know,
take
take
some
place
in
terms
of
those
others
that
have
been
waiting
in
kind
of
in
the
line.
H
B
Great,
thank
you.
Councilmember
alex
this
doesn't
necessarily
relate
to
ab
367
because
the
amount
is
so
nominal,
but
just
in
general
I
I've
had
questions
about.
You
know
some
of
these
state
laws
which
are
effectively
unfunded
mandates,
and
I
just
want
you
know
to
get
your
feedback
in
terms
of
what
should
we
do
or
can
we
do
when
we
get?
You
know
these
laws
that
are
passed,
we're
talking
about
millions
of
dollars
of
unfunded
mandates
versus
you
know
the
nominal
amount
we're
talking
here,
but
just
in
general,
what
would
be
our
path
forward.
L
Well,
you
know,
I
think
my
answer
to
that
would
be.
It
depends
on
the
priority
on
the
the
and
the
you
know.
So
I
think
if
it's
something,
for
instance,
one
of
our
top
priorities
is,
is
homelessness
and
and
addressing
homelessness
within
the
city
of
san
jose.
So
I
think
that
on
it
we
would
have
to
determine
what
the
impact
would
be
locally
and
what
contribution
the
city
would
make
to
that
in
terms
of
an
unfunded
mandate.
L
But
that-
and
I
think
that's
a
discussion
that
we
would
have-
and
I
think
it
varies
on
on
that
issue.
So
that's
a
discussion
that
we
would
have
with
cancer,
but
I
think
you,
you
have
to
take
it
case
by
case
with
every
issue
with
every
bill.
So
I
don't
think
there's
really
a
general
approach
to
all
unfunded
mandates.
I
think
it
really.
L
G
I
won't,
I
clearly
won't
speak
from
a
legal
expert,
because
we
have
a
attorney
that
does
that
I
will
say,
having
worked
in
the
capitol
for
a
long
time
that
it's
an
ongoing
conversation
within
the
assembly
appropriations
committee
and
senate
appropriations
committee.
But
you
know
alexandria,
is
absolutely
correct.
G
It
often
is
handled
on
a
kind
of
bill-by-bill
basis
on
something
like
this.
You
know
for
our
own
costs,
they're
quite
minimal,
and
it's
something
as
we
kind
of
step
into
this-
that
we
want
to
do.
You
know
on
in
contrast,
there's
pieces
of
legislation
this
year
around
virtual
council
meetings
or
rules,
committee
meetings
and
interpretations
and
some
of
those
bills
could
cost
us
tens
of
thousands
of
dollars.
G
So
we
weigh
in
heavily
and
try
and
spend
a
lot
of
time
with
the
legislature
making
sure
that
those
two
committees
and
the
assembly
and
the
senate
understand
those
financial
impacts.
So
hey
we
agree
on
the
policy
goal,
but
really
help
us
get
there
through
implementation.
So
sometimes
the
way
sacramento's
position,
implementation
and
policy
don't
often
align,
and
so
the
igr
program,
at
least
for
our
city,
works
very
hard
to
make
sure
that
we're
kind
of
demonstrating
to
the
legislature
what
implementation
of
their
policies
would
take
at
a
local
level.
B
B
J
Hi
again,
my
name
is
brenda
sandejas.
I
am
a
resident
from
district
five,
I'm
the
vice
chair
of
the
mobile
mental
democratic
club
and
also
the
secretary
for
silicon
valley,
young
dems
and
commenting
today
to
urge
the
commission
in
the
council
to
reject
this
recommendation.
This
fosters
a
culture
of
punitive
divisive
attitudes
to
our
vulnerable
community.
J
J
Yes,
I
do,
but
I
want
more
dumpster
days
want
more
solutions.
A
fine
will
not
solve
this
litter
problem
because
we've
had
them
and
it
has
done
nothing
and
10k
is
outrageous,
and
now
rewarding
residents
to
give
information
is
horrible.
You're
pitting
community
against
community-
and
I'm
gonna
tell
you
this,
but
where
I
live,
when
people
report
people
people
find
out
and
then
you
have
people
retaliating
and
it
creates
a
horrible
environment.
J
I
can't
even
finish
reading
this,
because
I
could
already
see
the
problems
that
will
come
with
this.
It's
not
only
that,
but
do
you
find
that
10k?
If
someone
cannot
pay
it,
they
will
be
going
to
jail
for
it
or
I
don't
know
what
else
is
going
to
happen
and
we
don't
need
these
type
of
problems.
We
need
solutions.
J
E
E
That's
too
much
and
that's
just
good
to
know-
and
you
know
she
kind
of
laid
it
down,
and
you
know
I'm
a
bit
offended
that
I
I
try
a
lot
to
be
real
sensitive
about
issues
that
are
difficult
to
talk
about.
I
think
for
all
of
us-
and
I
understand
that
I
have
a
bit
of
a
I
don't
know
the
word
remedial
problem
and
I'm
not
the
smartest
guy
in
the
room,
but
yet
I'm
trying
to
work
towards
something
important
and
sensitive
and
with
many
issues,
simply
be
informational
and
offer.
E
You
know
food
for
thought,
ideas
for
thought
and
and
and
to
you
know,
consider
I'm
I'm
growing
offended
that
chappie
council
person
jones
is
continuously
cutting
off
cutting
me
off
and
and
and
shushing
me
and
treating
me
like
a
child.
Saying
that's
enough.
Little
boy
he's
got
to.
Let
me
work
he's
got
to.
E
Let
me
offer
public
comment
and
and
for
all
of
ourselves
that
I
think
we're
trying
to
connect
and
address
really
important
concepts
that
relate
to
agenda
items
and
you're,
not
letting
that
happen
and,
in
fact,
you're
making
a
situation
more
uptight
by
not
allowing
I'm
trying
to
be
sensitive
about
issues
and
you're,
not
allowing
that
and
that
hurts-
and
I
I
hope
you
we
can
all
talk
about
this
afterwards
and
learn
important
lessons,
what
we're
trying
to
develop
as
public
and
and
allow
that.
Thank
you.

Hello:
everyone,
my
name,
is
victoria
partida
and
I'm
the
president
of
the
tropicana
alumni
neighborhood
association,
and
today
I'm
asking
the
commission
to
reject
this
recommendation
of
illegal
dumping,
fines
and
enforcement.
This
recommendation
directly
harms
our
unhoused
neighbors
and
fosters
fosters
the
culture
of
punitive
attitudes
towards
our
most
vulnerable
community.
N
In
addition,
it
does
nothing
to
address
the
root
cause
of
illegal
dumping.
What
I
can
offer
is
a
recommendation
that
we've
done
in
our
neighborhood
to
address
illegal
dumping.
We've
worked
very
tirelessly
with
councilmember
esparza
to
host
consistent
community
cleanups
and
educate
our
neighbors
on
what
to
do
with
unwanted
items.
Your
best
cameras
are
your
constituents.
N
They
know
where
the
hot
spots
are.
You
don't
need
to
invest
in
cameras,
work
with
your
constituents
instead
of
trying
to
utilize
community
service
officers,
you
have
a
great
start
to
a
campaign
and
that's
your
three
item
pickup
work
to
better
that
and
actually
promote
it
among
the
community
members.
Thank
you.
O
Great
thank
you
and
good
afternoon
council
members,
and
I'm
also
here
to
advocate
and
reject
for
this.
This
is
another
way
of
really
punishing
already,
who
has
been
punished
by
this
systems
by
the
code
right
and
just
like
a
previous
speaker
said.
Most
of
this
trash
is
being
put
out
here
because
of
the
people
that
are
being
displaced
and
yes,
most
of
the
trash
is
also
being
targeted
here
and
inside
san
jose,
so
putting
a
10
000
fine
for
people
that
can't
even
afford
to
live
here.
It's
ridiculous.
O
The
previous
speaker
was
talking
about
the
amazing
work
that
they've
been
doing
collaborative
with
their
council
member,
and
I
think
that
is
another
way
and
that
that
shows
us
that
there's
other
ways
and
equitable
ways
that
we
can
support
our
communities
instead
of
putting
this
punitive
and
going
to
right
away,
punishing
people
instead
of
educating
them
instead
of
building
sustainable
ways
and
maintaining
those
sustainable
ways
and
supporting
our
communities
to
stay
clean.
Just
like
everyone
else.
O
I
want
to
see
my
streets
clean,
and
I
I've
also
done
the
cleanup
days
and
those
are
amazing
and
they
happen
here,
but,
let's
think
outside
more,
and
I
know
that
we
have
the
racial
equity
department
or
office
of
racial
equity
that
can
support
in
analyzing
and
using
their
tools
to
see
if
this
is
actually
an
racial
equity
tool.
That
would
help
us
put
in
a
take
in
fine
and
if
not,
then
what
are
something
that
it's
already
working
in
different
neighborhoods
and
how
can
we
amplify
that
to
be
through
the
whole
city?
B
B
K
Sure,
thank
you
for
the
time.
Yes,
my
name
is
again.
I'm
omar
and
I'm
volunteering
with
luna
community
and
something
that
I
learned
working
from
this
community
organization
is
that
we
pay
taxes
and
we
pay
taxes,
and
sometimes
we
tax
ourselves
to
create
programs
to
help
people.
We
don't
want
to
pay
taxes
to
create
programs
to
persecute
people.
There
is
some
something
that
one
of
the
framers
say.
You
know
what
the
the
fist
of
the
government
should
not
be
too
coercive.
Something
like
that.
K
I
don't
remember
the
three,
but
I
guess
somebody
quoted
lately
and
that's
that's
what
what
I
see
here,
we're
using
the
government
to
to
smash
people
to
persecute
people
because
they
are
poor
and
what
is
gonna
be
next.
Are
we
gonna
persecute
people
because
they
are
black?
Are
we
gonna
persecute
people
because
they
don't
have
a
house?
No.
No.
This
is
totally
unfair.
K
P
P
You
know,
I
think
we
can
all
in
just
in
the
role
what
we
play
as
a
council
member.
We
know
that
illegal
dumping
is
really
a
city-wide
problem,
and
so
the
effort
to
put
forward
behind
this
or
put
behind
this
measure
to
or
this
memo
to
bring
it
forward,
really
is
an
acknowledgement
of
that.
It's
an
acknowledgment
that
what
we're
currently
doing
isn't
working.
P
The
other
thing
that's
important
to
know
is
that
this
memo,
you
know
the
vote
today
in
the
rules
committee-
is
simply
to
move
it
to
a
full
conversation
in
front
of
the
council
and
that's
what
I
urge
you
to
do.
I
understand,
and
we
understood
when
we
put
the
memo
together,
that
we
we
aren't
going
to
have
a
full
sort
of
vetted
out
discussion
about
this
item,
because
there's
a
lot
of
nuance
to
it,
as
indicated
by
some
of
the
residents
that
called
in.
P
P
I
think
what
I
know
to
be
true,
just
because
I've
heard
stories
and
seen
people
do
this
is
that
it's
corporations,
it's
it's
some
folks
that
work
for
companies
that
go
dump
irrespective
of
what
district
they
live
in,
and
so
I
think
it's
very
important
to
just
maintain
a
very
neutral
and
nuanced
perspective
on
this.
Is
a
ten
thousand
dollar
fine,
eliminating
the
tiers,
the
the
exact
solution,
I'm
not
so
sure
I
think,
there's
ways
to
address
some
of
the
concerns
that
have
been
expressed.
P
Maybe
delaying
fines,
maybe
community
service,
there's
a
host
of
ways
to
address
it,
but
what
we
sought
to
do
with
this
memo
is
simply
bring
it
before
the
full
council,
so
we
can
have
a
thorough
discussion,
even
if
what
emerges
from
this
is
more
money
for
dumpster
days.
I'm
all
for
that.
My
district,
similar
to
every
other
district
in
the
city
does
those
we
think
those
are
certainly
beneficial.
P
I'm
not
so
sure
that
more
dumpster
days
are
going
to
solve
this.
I
think
we
need
to
penalize
those
folks
that
continue
to
dump
on
our
streets,
irrespective
of
what
district
they're
from
whether
it's
an
individual
or
or
a
company,
and
so
I
just
thought
it
was
important
enough
to
bring
forward,
and
so
that's
what
we're
doing
so
certainly
available
for
questions,
and
I
do
appreciate
the
city
manager's
office,
taking
this
back
and
running
the
numbers
and
seeing
how
feasible
this
is,
as
it
relates
to
the
budget.
I
Yeah,
thank
you
and
agreeably
right
that
there's
there's
a
lot
more
to
discuss
here,
but
I
do
think
that
is
without
saying
goes
without
saying
the
challenges
that
we've
had
and
not
just
recently
but
ongoing
when
it
comes
to
illegal
dumping
and
I've
had
an
opportunity
to
witness
firsthand
and
see
some
of
these
illegal
dumping
sites,
many
of
them
throughout
district
three.
I
I
don't
think,
there's
a
a
a
particular
focus
in
any
one
area
of
our
city.
I
We
have
a
space
in
district
3
that
is
being
rented
by
a
company
renting
a
cal
caltrans
state
owned
property
that
is
supposed
to
be
for
a
particular
purpose
and
they've
been
using
it
to
dump
a
lot
of
their
their
their
trash
and
they'll
they'll
store
it.
There,
for
months
and
at
times,
even
years
in
different
areas
of
the
site-
and
it
has
created
these
areas
infested
with
rats
that
then
impact
the
communities,
those
low-income
communities
of
color
that
are
nearby,
and
so
it's
not
at
all.
I
I
think
a
one-sided
issue
and
and
absolutely
having
consequences
for
those
types
of
actions
are
important,
and
if
fines
are
not
high
enough
for
people
that
have
the
means
to
pay
them,
then
they
would
rather
pay
the
fine
than
actually
go
out
and
use
the
dump
when
they
decide
the
risk
is
on
how
frequent
they
may
actually
get
caught
for
something
like
that
and
they'll.
Take
that
gamble.
I
I
would
also
say
that,
more
recently,
my
office
had
fought
to
ensure
that
we
have
more
opportunities
for
low-income
communities
and
specifically
property
owners
that
don't
have
the
sidewalk
and
may
not
have
the
the
the
means
to
be
able
to
cover
that
cost.
We
have
a
a
hardship
program
that
goes
in
place,
and
I
think
that,
as
was,
I
think,
insinuated
in
in
the
last
paragraph
of
our
memo
on
looking
at.
How
do
we
ensure
that
we're
not
actually
imposing
just
greater
fines
on
people
that
can't
afford
it?
I
Certainly,
it
makes
no
sense
to
find
somebody
from
the
unhoused
community
and,
quite
frankly,
if
you're
from
the
unhouse
community,
you
don't
you
don't
have
the
same
means
to
throw
away
your
trash
and
so
by.
In
no
way
is
this.
This
direction
pointed
towards
our
own
house
community
or
is
important
towards
those
in
our
low-income
communities
and
in
fact,
if
anything,
a
lot
of
what
I
hear
from
lower-income
communities
that
I
represent
is
that
the
the
dumping
is
a
major
issue
and
we
we
have
hosted
numerous
dumpster
days.
H
And
finally,
a
marketing
firm-
and
this
is
through
the
department
of
transportation,
developed
the
the
don't
mess
with
texas
campaign
and
put
out
bins
that
that
you
know
worked
on
that
kind
of
element
and
and
pulled
that
community
in,
and
so
I
don't
know
that
we
haven't
fully
explored
a
campaign
economic
marketing
campaign.
That
would
help
with
that,
and
I
think
this
is
just
one
aspect
of
dumping.
H
This
is
not
to
solve
for
some
of
those
repeat
offenders
that
council
members
was
talking
about,
and
I
think
there
is
some
value
to
maybe
hyper,
focusing
in
some
of
those
areas
that
we
have
some
repeat
offenders,
that
you
know
these
are
businesses
and
and
that
they're,
not
necessarily
in
our
communities,
because
I
could
very
well
see-
and
I
I
think,
was
brenda
who-
who
called
in
and
said
you
know
once
you
be.
You
begin
to
think
that
your
neighbor
has
reported
you.
H
Then
those
feelings
start
to
build
up
and
then
there's
resentments
and
then
there's
this
lack
of
harmony
within
that
neighborhood.
It
just
builds
on,
and
on
and
on
and-
and
that
is
I
know,
not
the
spirit
of
of
this
memo-
I'll
support
it
so
that
it
can
go
to
council
so
that
we
can
hear-
and
we
can
talk
about
it.
H
H
That
may
not
be
able
to
afford
dumping
fees
and
how
do
we
work
with
those
folks
so
that
they
so
that
they
can,
because
it
reminds
me
also
of
the
issue
that
we
had
with
with
all
of
the
the
the
abandoned
cars
that
were
in
our
streets
and
we
had
them
towed
and
then
all
of
a
sudden
folks
couldn't
afford
to
get
those
toes
out
of
the
the
yards.
And
then
that
meant
the
yards
were
full.
H
H
And
and
if
there
are
already
some
some
cameras
that
are
installed
in
dumping
sites,
hot
spots,
how
effective
have
they
been
because
I'm
guessing
they
have
to
be
a
very
high
definition,
high
quality
type
of
camera,
so
that
you
can
see
the
license
plate
as
as
the
car
is
leaving
and
there's
folks,
who
might
be
very
smart
who
take
their
license
plate
or
cover
the
license
plate
or
make
a
number
look
like
another
number.
So
anyways
just
my
thoughts.
I
I
appreciate
the
idea.
H
I
think
it's
something
that
that
will
help
us
clean
up
our
city,
but
we
have
to
be
considerate
in
terms
of
inadvertently,
creating
some
hostile
neighborhoods
for
our
community
and
and
some
just
some
fees
that
people
are
never
going
to
be
able
to
climb
out
of-
and
you
know
some
many
of
our
families
already
falling
way
behind
in
in
economically.
So
those
are
my
thoughts.
I
I'd
love
to
to
hear
from
my
colleagues
if
that,
if
they're
open
to
to
maybe
some
flexibility
when
this
comes
back.
D
Thank
you.
I
have
a
couple
of
questions
for
for
council
member
paralysis
maker.
As
the
maker
of
the
motion
did
you
mean
for
all
three
of
these
recommendations
to
come
back
to
council
together,
and
so
that's
one
question:
it's
not.
It's
not
stated
in
the
memo
that
they
would
come
back.
They
would
go
to
council.
I
G
We're
actually
fine,
however,
you
would
like
to
handle
it.
If
you
want
to
move
all
three
forward
for
council
conversation,
we
can
absolutely
do
that.
I
was
just
going
to
say
specifically
with
recommendation
number
two,
which
is
kind
of
the
the
information
on
the
mba
as
part
of
the
budget
process.
We
can
commit
to
doing
that,
bringing
it
forward.
You
know
separately
if
you
didn't
want
to
move
all
forward,
but
obviously
all
three
are
interrelated.
I
P
Yeah
yeah,
I
think
I
agree
with
you.
I
mean
I
think
one
and
three
can.
It
seems
to
me.
Obviously
the
the
budget
process,
it's
his
own
sort
of
designated
process
and
so
I'd
be
happy
with
two
just
being
obviously
sent
off
to
the
budget
process
and
then
one
in
one
and
three
just
moving
forward
to
the
full
council
for
a
discussion.
I
D
D
G
D
Right
and
something
maybe
we
could
talk
about
in
terms
of
illegal
dumping
is
the
the
amount
of
of
illegal
dumping.
I
think
we
don't
mean
you
know
we
should
clarify
what
that
means.
If
it's,
you
know
the
size
of
a
an
armchair
or
a
couch
or
something
that's
not
just
throwing
out
a
cup
of
coffee,
although
I
don't
want
anyone
to
throw
any
litter
out
of
their
out
of
their
vehicles
and
we've
we've.
D
Definitely
all
seen
that
lately,
the
increase
in
trash
has
been
very,
very
frustrating
for
me
and
for
all
of
our
residents
when
they're
out
and
about
in
the
city.
So
I
want
to
thank
both
council
members,
jimenez
and
perales
for
bringing
this
forward
and
for
allowing
us
to
have
another
discussion
about
this
and
and
try
to
come
at
this
problem
in
another
way.
So
thank
you.
C
Yeah,
thank
you,
and
I
want
to
thank
the
my
colleagues,
councilmember
jimenez
and
perales
for
bringing
this
topic
forward.
I
also
thank
the
members
of
the
public
who
rightfully
expressed
concerns
about
the
implementation
of
something
like
this.
My
initial
reaction
to
this
proposal
is
that
I'm
not
convinced
that
the
level
of
the
fine
is
the
issue
people
may
or
may
not
know.
Our
current
level
of
the
fine
is
two
thousand
five
hundred
dollars
per
violation,
which
I
believe
would
provide
more
deterrence
if
our
enforcement
were
better.
C
I
think
our
biggest
issue
is
lack
of
enforcement
and
how
we
better
enforce
the
current
rules
that
are
already
on
the
books.
I'm
perfectly
happy
to
discuss
the
fine,
the
level
of
the
fine,
but
I
I
think
that
the
other
memo
are
actually
more
valuable
to
us
and
how
we
improve
enforcement,
how
we
provide
more
resources
for
people
to
dump
properly
it's
one
of
the
reasons
why,
in
our
district,
we're
putting
a
lot
of
effort
into
promoting
the
free
large
item
pickup
from
people's
homes?
C
To
let
them
know
this
is
very
simple
and
available
to
everybody.
We
ought
to
be
doing
more
of
that
promotion.
We
also
on
the
from
small
items,
ought
to
be
really
evaluating.
Where
are
our
garbage
facilities
in
the
city?
Can
people
easily
find
places
to
throw
out
their
garbage
when
they're
going
around?
But
this
I
know
it
was
about
big
items,
and
I
do
agree
with
the
council
members
who
brought
this
forward.
What
we're
seeing
what
we're
addressing
here
is
not
homeless
encampments.
It's
not.
C
C
So
I
believe
that
we
just
need
to
be
clear
on
who
it
is
that
this
and
what
the
purpose
of
this
enforcement
effort
is
maybe
make
it
clear
what
we
mean
by
a
violation,
what
we
mean
by
dumping,
so
that
you
know
it's
not
going
to
be
looking
like
it's
targeting
people
that
we're
not
intending
to
target,
but
I'm
I'm
looking
forward
to
having
this
discussion
with
the
full
council,
so
I'll
support.
Moving
the
memo
forward.
B
H
P
You
know
council
member
arenas.
This
is
a
council
member
jimenez,
my
well,
you
know
this
is
just
my
perspective,
but
what
I
assume
is
going
to
happen.
Obviously,
everyone's
been
listening
to
this
council
member
paul
is
listening.
I'm
paying
close
attention
very
much
appreciate
some
of
the
comments
from
the
council
members
and,
of
course,
the
community,
and
so
I
just
thanks
to
state
very
publicly
what
you
should
expect.
P
But
you
know
we
can
certainly
go
down
that
path
now
and
do
it
off
the
cuff
or
or
but
I
think,
there's
more
value
in
just
moving
the
item
forward,
and
then
I
commit
to
you
very
publicly
that
at
least
those
of
us
in
the
brown
act
they're
going
to
move
forward
a
memo
that
really
addresses
more
of
the
nuances
of
this,
and
your
ideas
were
very
good
as
well,
and
so
we're
going
to.
I.
H
H
I
look
forward
to
seeing
that
second
version,
I'm
going
to
support
it
and
support
this
memo
so
that
we
can
have
that
conversation,
because
there
is
an
issue
that
we
need
to
solve,
and
and
so
we
need
the
community's
participation
as
well
an
input
to
to
help
make
that
the
most
effective
strategy
for
our
city.
So
thank
you
and
thank
you.
Chair.
Q
R
R
What
are
you
gonna?
Do?
Ten
thousand
bucks?
You
really
think
people
are
gonna
pay
that
they're
gonna
go
to
court.
They're
gonna
go
bankrupt,
I'll,
tell
you
what
reduce
the
fine
you'll
be
able
to
collect
it?
A
lot
easier
make
people
a
deal
when
you
catch
them,
dumping
it
sending
them
a
bill
from
arizona.
However,
you
guys
do
it
is
crazy
and
you
guys
love
all
the
I
mean
you
guys
want
to
bring
back
cameras
for
speeding,
hey
the
stasi,
called
they
want
their
job
back
right.
R
Who
who
do
you,
people
think
you
are
that
you're
going
to
all
of
a
sudden
defund
the
police
or
better,
yet
reimagine
the
police
who's
going
to
go
collect
these
fines?
When
it
doesn't
happen?
Are
you
are
you
going
to
start
kneeling
on
people's
necks?
Are
you
going?
What
are
you
going
to
do?
How
are
you
I
want
you
to
answer
me
perales?
R
How
you're
going
to
do
it
because
you're
a
copper,
you
know
what
to
do
right.
You
get
out
those
you
get
out,
those
billy
clubs.
You
start
whacking
people
around
man,
that's
what's
going
to
happen.
What's
going
to
happen
when
someone
resists
the
rest
for
a
fine
are
and
they
die
in
custody
would
have
some
problems.
R
You
guys
need
to
you
guys
need
to
reevaluate
city
council.
You
need
to
reevaluate
how
the
fines
are,
because
it's
draconian
to
do
that.
That's
cruel
and
unusual
punishment.
You're
charging
like
a
thousand
times
anybody
else
in
the
world
charges,
because
you
think
you're
in
silicon
valley
that
people
are
gonna
pay
it.
R
B
E
Hi,
thank
you,
blair,
beekman
here.
Just
a
reminder.
You
know
I
I
most
often
try
to
be.
You
know
sensitive
and
informational
in
in
presenting
my
com,
my
public
comments,
and
that
really
I
try
to
be
really
relevant
to
the
the
item
and
I
hope
that
can
be
respected.
I'm
not
trying
to
be
adversarial
most
of
the
time
it's
difficult
subject
matter.
I
often
try
to
talk
about
so
try
to
have
some
patience
and
what
I'm
trying
to
connect.
E
I
I
think
I
am
doing
a
fairly
nice
job
about
it
and
I
think
it
should
be
respected
and
not
shift
away.
You
know,
like
a
small
child,
you
know-
and
I
hope
with
these
issues
about
dumping
are
very
much
of
a
thank
you
to
council
persons,
davis
and
uranus,
who
really
just
it's
nice
when
we're
confused
and
people
steer
a
really
good
course
and
it's
a
relief.
And
so
thank
you
very
much.
E
It's
all
that
I'm
talking
about
these
in
my
life
right
now,
you
know
how
do
we
make
the
technology
process
open
and
not
secretive,
and
you
guys
naturally
want
to
make
it
secretive,
and
I
naturally
think
it
should
be
an
open
discussed
process
and
that's
peace
and
that's
democracy
and
that's
a
responsible
future.
Don't
tuck
it
away.
E
If
you
can
please
and
to
conclude,
you
know,
we're
coming
up
to
mayday
and
cinco
de
mayo
and
it'll
be
our
first
test
for
our
new
police
chief
anthony
mata.
I
hope
everyone
does
well.
I
got
a
feeling.
Things
are
going
to
go
really
well
and
that
the
purpose
of
mayday
is
to
really
consider
our
better
practices,
and
I
and
and
good
thought,
which
is
what
I
try
to
offer
the
public
comment
process.
Let's
hope
we
all
be
having
you
know
a
good
thought
process,
these
kind
of.
I
A
R
A
project
of
this
scale
will
impact
the
city
for
good
or
for
ill
for
many
years
to
come.
So
it's
important
that
you
pay
attention.
It
is
already
quite
clear
that
the
proposal
or
the
proposed
project
has
significant
failings,
which
will
require
many
exceptions
to
our
city's
general
plan
and
other
thoughtfully
developed
guidelines.
R
B
S
S
For
all
c,
I
t
I
e
s,
the
number
four
all
dot
org
and
the
campaign
to
find
out
about
what
the
city
would
commit
to
in
terms
of
the
the
purposes
of
the
campaign,
and
also
to
get
information
about
how
to
benefit
from
so
city
of
san
jose,
actually
is
positioned
with
all
of
the
casp
trained
building
staff
to
make
san
jose
a
more
accessible
city.
What
is
absolutely
needed
is
the
willingness
and
intention,
on
the
part
of
the
leadership,
both
elected
and
management,
to
make
sure
that
this
is
addressed.
M
Hello,
I'm
beaufort
barr
36th
year
resident
of
san
jose.
My
thanks
to
the
rules
committee
for
giving
me
the
time
to
express
my
concerns
from
what
I
understand.
The
city
staff
is
advocating
opportunity,
housing
and
a
plan
that
eliminates
single-family
residential
zoning
throughout
the
entire
city
and
replaces
it
with
zoning
that
permits
duplexes,
triplexes
four
plexus
and
multiple
adus
on
every
single
family
lot
within
the
city.
M
Opportunity
housing
seems
to
be
a
staff
attempt
to
circumvent
the
city,
general
plan,
2040
strategy
to
address
affordable
housing
by
building
urban
villages
and
high
density
housing
near
mass
transit.
This
is
a
sound,
viable
solution
and
it
preserves
the
nature
and
character
of
existing
residential
neighborhoods.
M
Why
not
implement
that
questionable
practices,
disingenuous
comments
and
not
openly
highlighting
obstacles
and
possible
negative
impact
on
existing
neighborhoods
by
city
staff
must
stop.
Finally,
if
this
is
opportunity,
housing
is
something
the
city
council
is
going
to
seriously
consider.
There
must
be
a
full
honest
notification
to
the
public
and
any
final
decision
needs
to
be
made
by
a
vote
of
the
citizens
of
san
jose.
F
Hi,
thank
you.
It's
my
understanding
that
you're
going
to
be
taking
up
the
general
plan
task
force,
recommendations
and
forwarding
it
to
the
city
council
in
the
very
near
future.
With
regard
to
that,
I'd
first
like
to
thank
council
members,
arenas
and
davis
for
your
work
on
that
task
force.
There
are
some
excellent
ideas
that
have
come
out
of
this
project.
F
However,
there's
one
recommendation
that
is
not
like
the
others
and
my
ask
of
the
rules
committee
is
that
it
be
separated
and
excluded
from
the
rest
of
the
report
that
you
someday
forward
to
the
council,
I'm
referring
specifically
to
the
recommendation
to
direct
staff
to
continue
studying
the
elimination
of
zoning
city-wide,
single-family
zoning
and
what
its
advocates
are
calling
opportunity
housing.
Here's
why
you
should
hold
back
on
that
one.
First,
it's
beyond
the
scope
of
the
current
general
plan
and
the
task
force
charter
number
two:
it's
untested
and
unproven
anywhere
in
the
u.s
number.
F
Three,
it's
extremely
controversial,
some
might
say
radioactive
residents
are
extremely
upset
and
most
council
members
are
afraid
to
even
talk
about
this
with
their
constituents
and
number
four
various
bills
are
pending
in
sacramento.
Right
now,
as
you
probably
know,
they
could
potentially
supersede
anything
the
council
might
be
considering.
So.
For
those
reasons,
it
would
be
best
to
put
this
one
aside
from
the
rest
of
the
task
force,
recommendations.
F
Don't
let
this
one
item
become
a
distraction
that
delays
and
derails
the
rest
of
the
extensive
set
of
good
ideas.
The
task
force
has
produced.
None
of
our
elected
officials
have
campaigned
on
the
promise
of
eliminating
single-family
zoning.
The
idea
has
not
been
vetted
with
voters,
so
please
hit
the
pause
button.
Direct
city
staff
to
c
is
promoting
it
and
sees
work
on
the
ordinance
that
they're,
reportedly
already
drafting,
monitor,
what's
happening
in
sacramento
hold
this
back
from
the
council
at
least
until
2022,
when
it
can
coincide
with
the
mayoral
campaign
season.
Thank
you.
T
T
We
have
been
having
wonderful
meetings
with
some
of
the
housing
staff
and
it's
been
great
they've
heard
a
lot
of
our
concerns
and
our
suggestions,
and
I
think
one
of
the
suggestions
we
know
the
word
sanction
a
lot
of
folks,
don't
like
that
word.
So
I
was
thinking
of.
Maybe
we
should
change
it
to
safe
sleeping
zone.
T
That's
something,
I
think,
is
very
nice
safe
sleeping
zone.
So
what
we've
been
talking
about
are
the
camps
we
have
now
and
turning
them
into
sanctioned
encampments
and
let's
get
going
if
it
goes
before
the
council.
I
think,
on
the
11th:
let's
not
wait
to
look
at
everything.
Let's
just
make
the
ones
we
have
now
sanctioned
encampments.
T
I
have
about
five
different
camps
that
I've
suggested
are
going
to
suggest
that
we
can
make
them
into
into
safe
sleeping
zone
district
10,
I'm
looking
in
your
district,
mr
vice
president
and
district
one.
So
I
think
it's
very
important
and
they
can
be
run
themselves,
and
this
is
what
we've
been
talking
about.
So
I
really
truly
hope
that
you
will
listen
and
take
it
up
at
council
and
councilman
corrales
and
mayhem
and
cohen.
T
B
O
O
Apparently
the
task
force
was
comprised
of
some
council
members
planning,
commissioners
and
other
political
insiders
appointed
by
council
members.
There
was
no
public
notice
or
outreach
to
inform
residents
that
this
group
would
be
meeting
to
discuss.
The
elimination
of
single
family
zoning
in
san
jose
very
few
residents
knew
a
vote
would
be
taken
to
approve
a
recommendation
as
extreme
as
this,
and
even
now
very
few
of
my
neighbors
know.
This
proposal
will
come
before
the
city
council
this
summer
or
fall.
O
It
is
incomprehensible
to
imagine
that
something
as
draconian
as
a
city-wide
ban
on
single-family
zoning
could
happen
in
san
jose
by
just
six
out
of
11
votes
by
the
mayor
and
city
council.
This
is
a
policy
change
that
effectively
unwinds
decades
of
planning
and
irrevocably
changes.
The
neighborhoods
we've
chosen
to
live
in.
O
For
that
reason,
I
am
asking
that
any
proposed
change
to
eliminate
single-family
zoning
anywhere
in
san
jose
be
placed
on
the
ballot
with
clarity
of
titling,
so
the
residents
of
san
jose
can
vote
to
approve
or
reject
this
proposed
change
to
abolish
single-family
zoning
throughout
san
jose.
Thank
you
for
your
time.
O
O
The
public
is
being
misled
by
the
omission
of
information
or
use
of
incomplete
data
staff
by
their
actions
are
making
policy
and
not
informing
policy.
This
causes
people
to
distrust
city
staff,
mismanagement.
Examples
include
indwelling
podcasts
too.
Only
a
proponent
of
this
proposal
is
interviewed,
that
is
biased.
O
Minneapolis
is
mentioned
as
implementing
this
proposal,
but
the
two-plus
year-long
lawsuit
that
the
city
lost
was
not
mentioned.
This
is
an
omission
of
information.
The
housing
department,
presentations,
focus
on
affordable
housing
and
imply
that
the
proposal
produces
it
only
on
direct
questioning
is
market
rate.
Housing
confirmed
to
be
the
product
of
this
proposal.
O
O
It
is
deceitful
when
city
staff
states
that
the
proposal
does
not
eliminate
single-family
zoning.
That
is
exactly
what
this
proposal
does.
Furthermore,
staff
in
their
podcasts
and
presentations
do
not
mention
or
discuss
issues
with
the
proposal,
such
as
adverse
impacts
on
city
finances,
vmt
or
soft
and
hardware
infrastructure
issue.
City
staff
are
advocating.
This
is
not
acceptable.
The
biased
presentations
benefit,
implied
benefits,
disingenuous
comments
are
not
highlighted
and
neat
and
not
highlighting
obstacles
must
stop
and
be
corrected.
J
J
I
would
have
rather
seen
this
table
than
rewritten
and
make
made
it
more
clear
on
what
does
illegal
dumping
mean,
and
obviously
they
spoke
about
corporations.
Maybe
they
should
have
made
this
for
corporations,
because
it's
very
misleading
and
confusing,
so
I
just
feel
that
it
was
just
narrated
to
pass
as
if
it
was
this
corporation
issue.
But
if
you
look
at
the
spotlight
news.
B
J
Just
going
to
read
something
that
I
saw,
I
saw
on
an
open
that
throwing
a
mattress
by
the
side
of
the
freeway
or
a
bag
of
tr
trash
could
lead
up
to
10k
and
what
they
said
today.
What
some
people
said
today
was
not
true,
so
I
just
wanted
to
say
that
I
want
to
thank
them
for
you
speaking
out
for
us,
the
community,
and
I
would
love
to
see
more
clarity
and
more
discussion
on
an
item
that
was
spoken
on
today.
Thank
you.
D
Yes,
hi
I'd
like
to
talk
about
opportunity,
housing.
The
envision
2040
task
force
was
given
an
assignment
at
the
june
11
2019
city
council
meeting.
They
were
to
consider
the
following
proposal
for
opportunity,
housing
and
make
recommendations.
The
proposal
was
to
limit
it
to
parcels
proximate
to
transit-oriented
urban
villages
or
adjacent
to
other
types
of
specific
parcels.
D
They
were
to
develop
a
set
of
design
guidelines
that
would
maintain
the
current
allowed
heights
and
keep
setbacks
comparable
to
existing
family
homes,
etc.
They
were
to
allow
flexibility
on
the
number
of
units
allowed
per
parcel,
etc.
They
were
to
specify
that
this
would
be
sensitive
to
historic
neighborhoods
and
they
were
to
validate
that
opportunity.
Housing
would
be
cost
effective.
D
Mr
pandori
camp
co-chair
of
the
task
force
tried
to
remind
the
group
of
the
scope
of
their
assignment
before
they
voted
on
august
20
2020
on
this
proposal,
but
he
was
rudely
cut
off.
The
task
force
voted
and
recommended
that
up
to
four
units
per
parcel
be
allowed
on
all
parcels
with
a
residential
land
use
designation
and
that
city
staff
proceed
with
all
the
other
work
that
the
task
force
was
assigned
to
do.
It's
been
eight
months
since
this
happened.
D
The
task
force
doesn't
have
the
authority
to
make
the
proposal
that
they
did
and
they
don't
have
the
authority
to
designate
that
staff.
Do
this
other
work
as
a
result,
city
staff
is
making
up
the
opportunity
housing
proposal
they're
advocating
for
it,
and
it's
a
continual
moving
target
and
no
one
has
done
a
cost-effective
analysis.
D
Council
has
done
nothing
to
rein
this
in,
and
they
need
to
send
this
issue
back
to
the
task
force
to
have
them
do
what
they
were
asked
to
do.
Residents
are
left
with
this
mess
and
of
having
to
put
huge
resources
into
opposing
this
moving
target
of
a
proposal
advocated
by
staff
council
needs
to
act
on
this
immediately.
S
Hello
good
afternoon
committee
members,
many
residents
like
us
are
unaware
the
general
plan
task
force
ventured
beyond
the
scope
of
their
original
mission
with
city-wide
opportunity,
housing
zoning
changes
proposed
by
juan
estrada
last
year.
This
proposal
could
eliminate
single-family
home
zoning
city-wide.
S
S
Why
is
the
city
of
san
jose
paid
staff
using
taxpayer
funds
for
a
dedicated
web
page
and
podcasts
to
actively
promote
opportunity
housing
before
the
city
council
vote
to
study
opportunity,
housing,
pro-biased,
informational
community
meetings
are
promoted
and
featuring.
Grant-Funded
advocate

presenters
from
silicon
valley
at
home,
green
belt

law,
foundation
of
silicon

san
jose
neighborhoods
for
all

paid
city
staff
from
the
housing
and
planning
department
are
participating
in
these
meetings
with
few
or
no
experienced
or
knowledgeable
opposing
viewpoints.
To
offer
resonance.
S
The
san

spotlight
mentioned
an
opportunity,

on

and
what
about

Hi
this
is
linda
ruthruff,
I'm
the
conservation
chair
for
the
california
native
plant
society,
santa
clara
valley
chapter,
I'm
also
a
long
time,
san
jose
residence
vice
mayor
jones,
I'm
in
your
district,
I'm
speaking
against
the
san
jose
light
tower
project.
We
can
expect
this
to
be
extremely
problematic
for
san
jose.
Just
a
few
of
the
problems.
S
Every
year,
new
york
city
recreates
the
twin
towers
on
911
by
pointing
lights
into
the
skies
they
found
that
birds
are
drawn
in
and
captured
by
the
light
they
circle
endlessly.
Until
many
of
them
drop
dead
from
exhaustion,
they
found
that
they
have
to
keep
turning
the
lights
off
to
allow
the
birds
to
move
on
san
jose
is
on
the
pacific,
flyway
most
and
most
birds
migrate
at
night.
S
S
There
are
many
negative
health
effects
of
this
type
of
night
lighting.
It
can
also
affect
the
plants
in
the
riparian
corridors
of
los
gatos
creek
and
the
guadalupe
river
right
next
to
the
project,
throwing
the
life
cycle
of
the
plants
out
of
sink
with
the
pollinators
they
need
to
complete
their
life
cycle.
Q
Q
We
we
applaud
city
staff,
making
themselves
available
to
respond
to
a
lot
of
the
concerns
that
are
being
raised.
A
number
of
us
have
tried
to
do
the
same.
We
support
support
this
in
concept,
but
we
acknowledge
that
there's
a
lot
of
work
left
left
to
do.
I
think
what
I
was
struck
by
in
the
comments
is,
I
think,
there's
also
a
kind
of
a
tremendous
amount
of
misunderstanding
and
misinformation
about
both
where
you
all
are
in
the
stage
of
the
process.
Q
How
we
got
here
and
and
what's
going
to
be
happening
going
forward.
We
silicon
valley
at
home
had
a
seat
on
the
general
plan.
Task
force
and
council
brought
this
item
to
the
task
force
to
talk
about.
You
know
how
it
how
it
might
work
and
go
forward,
and
after
three
long
meetings
the
task
force
recommended
that
yes,
the
staff
go
forward
and
and
adjusted
the
direction
to
consider
this
city-wide.
Q
This
is
going
to
be
coming
before
you
all,
but
many
of
the
concerns
that
have
been
raised
are
actually
what
staff
will
be
asking
for
direction
from
council
to
take
on
it's
hard
in
the
absence
of
a
concrete
policy
and
a
process,
but
that's
the
position
that
staff
is
in
and
I
just
want
to
voice
support
for
their
effort
to
be
available
and
sit
through
long
and
important
meetings
with
community
members
around
the
city.
So
thank
you
for
your
time.
B
F
Yes,
hello,
I
am
bob
fontana.
I
live
in
district
10,
I'm
a
resident
of
san
jose
who,
like
others,
is
concerned
about
political
advocacy,
in
particular,
for
opportunity,
housing
and
the
political
advocacy
that
the
departments
are
engaged
in
with
regard
to
residential.
This
is
rigid
residential
zoning
proposal.
F
I
don't
know
if
any
of
you
have
listened
to
the
housing
department's
podcast
series
called
dwellings,
but
if
you
haven't,
I
encourage
you
to
do
so.
I
think
it
will
help
you
understand
where
my
concerns
are
coming
from:
listen
to
episode,
2
for
a
full-blown
promotion
of
opportunity
delivered
by
an
interview
with
one
of
our
city's
leading
advocates
of
the
policy
in
it.
F
What
you
won't
find
in
the
dwellings
podcast
series
are
voices
of
informed
individuals
who
think
banning
r1.
Zoning
is
a
bad
idea.
There
are
surely
general
plan
task
force
members
who
voted
against
the
opportunity,
housing
recommendations
that
would
gladly
share
their
reason
why
they
oppose
it.
They
include
real
estate
professionals,
planning,
commissioners
and
city
council
members.
