I
know
I've
served
in
your
week
as
your
wing
man,
so
I'm
glad
to
have
you
here
and
just
want
to
tell
you
that
your
number
one
job
is
to
keep
getting
me
back
on
track
when
I
go
off
the
rails.
So
I
just
want
to
let
you
know
that
sylvia
and
and
dev
are
very
experienced
at
that,
but
I
just
wanna
know
what
you're
gonna,
let
you
know
what
your
number
one
job
is.

Just
quickly
for
for
the
committee's
consideration,
our
3.1
presentation
is
actually
going
to
be
a
bit
shorter
and
crisper
focused
on
kind
of
two
or
really
three
things,
and
the
remainder
of
the
agenda
is
is
somehow
so
just
with
the,
with
the
exception
of,
if
you
guys
make
decisions
later
on
in
the
rules
committee.
The
rest
of
the
agenda
is
fairly
light
for
other
items
to
blend
in
to
further
in
the
night.
F
C
H
Hi
happy
new
rules
in
government
rules
in
open
government
stock
stream.
There
are
not
too
many
agenda
items
for
this
week,
signaling
that
you
will
spend
a
lot
of
time
on
cobra
19
issues.
I
assume
thank
you.
I
will
have
to
start
to
apologize
regularly
for
not
giving
better
cover.
19
death
certificates,
death
statistics.
H
This
fall,
I
think
they
are
about
double
in
santa
clara
county
and
what
I
reported
initially.
I
can
hopefully
report
during
the
city
manager's
report
3-1
next
week
of
what
can
be
more
accurate,
that's
statistic
numbers,
although
we
may
be
headed
in
a
good
direction.
I
think
we
should
have
waited
a
week
or
two
longer
before
declaring
an
end
to
the
previous
lockdown
conditions.
H
Item
2.8
to
2.11
are
mostly
about
vta
things
from
item
2.8
with
the
past
decade
of
work
towards
more
open
and
better
accountability.
The
more
recent
concepts
of
equity
and
imagine
and
reimagine
can
actually
be
some
of
the
better
ideals
and
reasoning
of
our
time.
I
hope
the
vta
will
establish
some
sort
of
advertising
ethics,
review
board
and
public
policy
process
review
for
any
new
large
advertising
in
this
place
in
the
future
of
vk
transit
hubs.
H
I
have
a
lot
of
words
about
av
use.
Let
me
try
to
finish
here
with
items
2.10
and
11.
I
can
understand
wanting
to
work
on
the
sometimes
thorny
issues
of
automatic
wheels
vehicles
and
very
much
of
a
thank
you
to
involve
the
east
side
in
this
process.
However,
from
all
these
current
new
efforts,
it
may
only
be
small
delivery
packages
that
will
be
the
actual
function
of
avs
and
working
part
of
our
society
in
ten
years
time.
H
H
C
J
C
E
M
I
B
B
I'd
like
to
thank
the
administration
for
the
addition
of
8x,
which
a
which
is
a
targeted
rent
increase
freeze
for
those
mobile
home
residents
impacted
by
covid,
and
I
want
to
make
three
important
points
once
again.
The
city
cannot
prevent
mobile
home
park
owners
from
filing
a
petition
for
fair
return,
which
can
result
in
huge
rent
increases.
B
The
city
of
san
jose
cannot
prevent
mobile
home
park
owners
from
filing
a
petition
for
fair
return
every
single
year
if
they
want
the
city
of
san
jose,
cannot
prevent
or
place
a
freeze
on
any
raise
granted
by
a
hearing
officer
after
a
fair
return
petition.
So
thank
you
very
much
for
this
targeted
rent.
Freeze,
it's
going
to
save
mobile
home
park
residents,
a
lot
of
grief
and
stress.
Thank
you.
C
C
C
G
G
H
H
H
It
is
all
of
ourselves
trusting
each
other
and
trusting
these
funding
programs.
That
can
be
a
simple,
friendly,
friendly
way
to
help
all
of
us
in
this
difficult
time.
I
hope
this
can
be
a
more
more
and
more
clear.
I
hope
this
can
be
more
clear
to
each
other
in
the
following
months
to
speak,
to
martha
o'connell's
ideas.
She
talked
about
last
night
and
today
is
there
a
way
that
you
know
she's
described
the
fair
return
process
that
could
cause
trouble
in
the
future.
H
Is
there
a
way
martha
could
bring
together
her
mobile
park
coalition?
The
golden
state
mobile
park
association?
Can
they
can
she
bring
them
together
to
understand
how
owners
can
receive
funding
help
and
they
have
to
learn
to
practice
the
idea
they
don't
have
to
be
over
charging
at
this
time?
That
takes
organization
and
a
lot
of
effort.
I
it
cannot
be
done
at
this
time
to
help
out
this
situation
and
look
for
better
answers.
Thank
you.
J
J
J
Okay
got
it
got
it
got
it.
I
just
wasn't
made
aware
of
that:
okay
understood
yeah,
I'd
just
like
to
to
piggyback
on
what
mr
beekman
was
talking
about.
With
regard
to
there's,
there's
I
mean
the
city
has
a
responsibility
to
protect
its
citizens.
I
mean
these
are
just
fundamentals:
10th
grade
civics
kinds
of
lessons
that
we
do
need
to
protect
them,
irregardless
of
what
the
state
is
doing
if
the
state
is
failing
them.
If
the
federal
government
is
failing
us,
if
the
county
is
failing
us,
that's
fine!
J
J
D
C
C
H
D
H
Hi
thanks,
may
I
thought
maybe
this
could
be
a
time
to
you
know
just
give
a
voice
out
shout
out
to
the
the
human
services
commission.
It
seems
like
something
of
their
good
work.
They
can
work
on
and
yeah.
I
I
you
know
just
to
mention
their
their
work
and
their
efforts.
You
know
they're.
They
seem
to
be
in
a
bit
of
trouble
right
now
and
how
you
know
they
might
be
kind
of
put
on
hold
for
a
few
months.
H
H
I
think
for
ourselves
that
I
think
we
can,
you
know,
try
to
say
is
good,
but
it's
the
efforts
of
people
and
groups
like
the
human
services
commission
that
we
can
feel
that
we're
doing
the
the
best
for
ourselves
and
the
good
thing
at
this
time,
and
so
I
really
hope
you
can
keep
the
commission
going
and
active
and
just
to
have
their
thoughts
put
out
there
each
month
and
actively
thinking
and
working.
It's
really
needed.
I
think,
at
this
time
and
for
issues
like
this
for
domestic
violence
issues
and
women's
rights
issues.
H
C
B
C
H
J
It
will
agree
with
me
in
principle,
but
won't
agree
with
me
when
it
comes
to
their
vote,
but
darn
it
man,
you're
you're,
right
on
the
money
there,
and
I
agree
with
you
totally.
I
see
it.
However,
I
just
I
I
gotta
go
in
this
other
direction.
This
is
the
part
of
the
government
that
is
becoming
obscene.
J
You
know
I
mean
this
physics
has
a
lot
of
nerve
talking
about
equity,
I
mean
they
can't
even
define
what
that
means
to
me.
They
don't
even
know
what
that
means.
I
know
what
that
means.
You
know
why,
because
I
know
the
reasons
why
equity
is
so
necessary
today.
I
know
the
reason
why
it's
in
my
blood,
it's
in
my
legacy,
it's
in
my
heritage
and
some
of
it
is
buried
with
my
ancestors
in
oak
hill,
cemetery,
okay,
so.
I
I
Since
council
members,
davis
and
perales
first
offered
a
memo
on
this
topic
in
september
of
2019
the
urgency
for
climate
resilience
strategies
has
only
grown,
which
last
year's,
unhealthy
heat
and
air
quality
demonstrate
to
better
protect
residents
from
climate
risks
and
improve
the
quality
of
life.
Overall.
San
jose
must
embrace
a
comprehensive
equity,
focused
urban
greening
plan
that
prioritizes
those
communities
that
shoulder
the
greatest
risk.
I
The
foundation
is
already
laid
for
this
approach
with
the
city's
variety
of
planning
documents,
but
what
san
jose
lacks
is
a
coordinated,
cross-departmental
implementation
strategy
that
integrates
greening
into
all
aspects
of
city
planning.
Doing
so
will
ensure
that
these
projects
provide
the
widest
variety
of
climate
and
quality
of
life
benefits
and
the
most
cost
efficient
process.
This
shouldn't
fall
on
one
department,
but
rather
staff
capacity
to
carry
out
this
mandate
should
be
spread
across
departments
and
coordinated
at
the
city
manager's
level
to
ensure
collaboration
and
prevent
bureaucratic
obstacles
from
obstructing
this
important
work.
I
But
why
now,
while
the
past
year's
disrupted
much,
it
has
not
delayed
the
looming
crisis
of
climate
change
and
it
demonstrated
the
need
for
an
integrated
cross-departmental
solutions
to
community-wide
problems.
San
jose
is
continuing
to
upgrade
public
infrastructure
that
provides
opportunities
for
integrating
urban
greening
cost
effectively
that
we
can't
afford
to
miss,
and
also
the
biden
administration,
has
a
renewed
focus
on
funding
for
climate
adaptation.
So
now
is
the
time
to
prioritize
local
projects
so
that
the
city
is
prepared
to
compete
aggressively
for
outside
funding.
I
N
Thank
you
good
afternoon,
members
of
the
committee.
My
name
is
lena
and
I'm
speaking
today
on
behalf
of
the
santa
clara
valley,
open
space
authority,
to
share
our
strong
support
for
the
comprehensive
urban
greening
strategy
and
implementation
plan.
The
city
of
san
jose
has
demonstrated,
and
continues
to
demonstrate,
significant
climate
leadership
through
its
implementation
of
climate,
smart
san
jose,
including
the
development
of
a
natural
and
working
lands
element
which
considers
the
climate
adaptation
and
mitigation
benefits
of
protecting
and
enhancing
green
spaces
like
those
in
coyote
valley.
N
The
open
space
authority
believes
that
one
of
the
most
effective
steps
that
the
city
can
take
to
ensure
the
realization
of
these
bold
planning
efforts
is
to
create
a
comprehensive
strategy
to
implement
nature-based
solutions
in
urban
areas.
Nature-Based
solutions
like
urban
greening
offer
enumerable
benefits
such
as
helping
to
manage
storm
water,
improve
water
quality
and
air
quality
and
alleviate
urban
heat
island
effect,
especially
during
and
after
a
public
health
crisis
like
the
one
we
faced.
Solutions
like
these
are
critical
for
our
communities,
physical
and
mental
health.
N
B
B
Thank
you,
council,
member
davis,
for
putting
forth
your
memo.
I
urge
the
committee
to
move
it
forward
to
to
the
full
council.
When
I
first
wrote
out
my
two
minutes,
I
tried
to
restate
all
the
health
and
other
valuable
services
that
trees
and
green
infrastructure
provide
and
cite
the
language
in
the
general
plan
that
already
calls
for
them,
but
the
list
is
long.
So
I
refer
you
to
our
audubon
sierra
club
and
california
native
plant
society.
B
B
B
The
thing
is,
most
caterpillars
only
have
a
few
host
species
of
plants
on
which
they
feed
generally
are
native
plants,
so
you
may
want
to
add
an
educational
component
to
this
initiative.
I
think
providing
something
like
an
informational
card
about
the
value
of
nader
native
and
water.
Wise
plant
landscapes
with
home
sales
could
be
very
helpful.
Perhaps
the
valley
water
would
pay
for
it.
B
The
situation
for
most
instinct,
most
insects
that
pollinate
our
crops
and
are
so
important
for
our
food
chain,
as
well
as
for
wildlife,
is
dire,
as
we've
seen
with
the
tragic
loss
of
our
magnificent
western
monarch,
migration,
who
would
have
thought
we
could
lose
the
beautiful
and
once
ubiquitous
monarch.
Please
move
forward
with
this
screening
initiative.
Thank
you.
C
M
Good
afternoon
sarah
jones
and
committee
members,
I'm
shane
kleinhouse
speaking
for
santa
clara
valley
or
the
bond
society.
We
I
support
what
they've
said.
I
wanted
to
say
a
every
single
study
that
encompassed
all
of
europe,
published
in
december,
showed
that
high
biodiversity
in
people's
vicinity
is
as
important
to
their
life
satisfaction
as
their
income.
This
may
be
surprising,
but
it
was
not
even
limited
to
high
income
populace.
It
was
pretty
universal,
so
the
study
actually
showed
that
individual
enjoyment
of
life
correlates
with
the
number
of
surrounding
bird
species.
M
Vegetation,
especially
native
species
should
be
prioritizing
the
urban
forest,
stormwater
treatment,
power
plant
and
even
private
properties.
So
we
truly
appreciate
council
member
davis's
memo.
We
hope
you
advance
it
to
put
it
on
the
agenda.
It
is
really
time
to
capture
the
imagination
and
inspire
people
with
the
nature
in
the
city
and
to
use
nature's
force
in
cleaning
our
air
cleaning,
our
water,
alleviating
the
impacts
of
climate
change,
including
the
urban
heat
island
in
time
of
climate
change,
loss
of
biodiversity
and
uncertain
futures.
M
N
Good
afternoon,
council
members,
my
name
is
nikita
sinha
and
I'm
the
program
manager
for
wake
san
jose
with
california
walks.
Thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
comment
on
the
urban
greening
implementation
plan.
I
want
to
express
my
strong
support
for
this
plan
and
my
excitement
at
seeing
the
city
taking
a
holistic
approach
to
addressing
environmental,
health
and
safety
issues
on
our
streets.
A
comprehensive
urban
greening
strategy
is
necessary
to
meet
our
environmental
traffic
safety
and
mode
of
travel
goals
set
out
by
climate,
smart,
san,
jose
and
vision
zero.
N
Last
year,
despite
lower
traffic,
the
city
city
still
had
49
people
die
on
our
streets.
Cars
traveling
at
higher
speed
led
to
an
increased
likelihood
of
a
crash
ending
in
severe
injury
or
death.
This
week
with
heavy
amounts
of
rain,
families
are
once
again
preparing
for
flooding.
The
proposed
urban
greeting
plan
meets
the
urgency
of
both
of
these
issues
through
traffic
coming
and
flood
management.
N
By
linking
urban
greening
with
ongoing
transportation
projects,
this
plan
will
help
create
human
scale
streets
that
address
urban
key
islands,
traffic
safety,
water
quality
and
flood
management.
I'm
looking
forward
to
seeing
the
collaboration
across
departments
and
plans
for
this
effort.
I
urge
you
to
support
the
recommendations
outlined
in
councilmember
davis's
memo
and
thank
you
again
for
the
opportunity
to
comment.
C
B
Take
your
sorry,
I
was
on
mute.
Thank
you
vice
mayor
members
of
the
committee,
my
name
is
rhonda
berry,
president
and
ceo
of
varsity
forest,
and
we
enthusiastically
support
this
initiative.
I
want
to
thank
the
council
member
davis
and
also
save
the
bay
for
this
really
bold
initiative
and
for
your
leadership
on
this,
something
we
need
so
much
and
I
could
we
couldn't
be
more
excited.
B
We
would
like
to
ask
about
putting
some
teeth
into
the
plan
in
terms
of
what
is
needed
to
help
break
down
equity
barriers.
You
know
this
is
work.
We've
actually
been
doing
over
the
last
nearly
three
decades
and
and
support
is
needed
for
particular
strategies,
but
for
urban
forestry
it
can
be
expensive,
so
most
of
our
funding
isn't
even
used
for
trees
and
plants,
but
for
actually
working
against
these
equity
effort.
B
B
B
C
K
K
This
is
an
environmental
issue
and
it
comes
at
a
time
when
we're
we're
actually
repaving
all
of
our
streets,
we're
in
the
middle
of
a
a
comprehensive
repaving
program
for
the
entire
city,
and
the
idea
here
is
to
really
integrate
implementation
of
our
urban
greening.
Our
green
storm
water
infrastructure
plan,
as
well
as
all
our
our
use
of
not
only
our
measure
t
but
our
sb1
funds
that
we're
using
to
repave.
K
So
that's
the
purpose
of
the
memo.
I
did
have
a
couple
of
questions
for
staff
based
on
the
early
consideration
form,
and
I
see
that
matt
kano's
here
matt
we
have
on
not
next
week's
but
the
following
week's
agenda
for
council.
We
have
the
master
consultant
agreement
for
planning
and
implementation
of
the
green
stormwater
infrastructure
plan.
K
O
Sure,
thanks
for
the
question,
councilmember
matt
kano,
director
of
public
works,
so
the
we
are
recommending
two
master
consultant
agreements
for
up
to
five
million
dollar
value
each
and
these
consultant
agreements.
So
since
their
master
agreements,
they
don't
specifically
come
with
funding
attached
to
them
and
when
we
have
funded
projects
when
we
have
projects
so
they're
back
up,
there's
no
project
appropriations
attached
to
these
five
million
dollar
master
agreements.
Right
now,
when
we
have
funded
projects,
we
can
tap
into
these
master
agreements
to
utilize
the
consultant
services.
O
As
an
example,
we
have
a
measure
t
dollars.
We
allocated
about
23
to
25
million
dollars
of
measure,
t
money
for
greens,
green
infrastructure
projects.
We
can
use
that
money
to
design
and
implement
construction
projects,
and
so
we
would
be
tapping
into
these
consultant
agreements
to
do
that.
Design.
Work
in
collaboration
with
us
that
measure
t
money
cannot
be
used
for
citywide
studies
and
initiatives.
It
needs
to
be
used
for
specific
project
implementations.
G
G
They
really
will
require,
obviously,
some
staff
capacity,
which
you
know
we
need
to
address
as
part
of
the
road
map
exercise,
but
the
funding
as
well-
and
I
do
think,
if
we're
successful
on
recommendations-
three,
I'm
sorry,
four,
five
and
six
as
opposed
to
waiting
to
come
back
in
future
years.
We
can
go
ahead
and
start
some
of
that
work
or
come
back
to
the
council.
When
that
funding
materializes,
I
would
say
the
intergovernmental
relations
team
is
is
hopeful.
President
biden
has
talked
about.
K
O
We
don't
have
a
specific
cost
estimate,
and
so
I
I'm
not,
we
know
we
have
been
looking
at
more
funding
for
green
stormwater
initiative
projects
and
we're
going
to
continue
to
look
for
more
funding.
In
addition
to
the
measure
t
funding,
I
don't
have
an
exact
number
but
to
implement
item
one,
which
is
a
really
I
mean.
O
O
Something
like
this,
even
if
it
has
a
full-time
project
manager
and
a
consultant
money
to
implement
the
study.
An
effort
like
this
will
definitely
acquire
bandwidth
of
management
throughout
different
departments
in
the
city,
so
that
that
something
that
would
need
to
be
weighed
against
the
other
council
priorities,
as
as,
like
I
said,
it's
definitely
understand
and
appreciate
and
agree
with
how
important
this
is.
But
that's
just
something
that
we
would
have
to
factor
in.
E
Council
member
thanks
a
lot
john
russo,
director
of
transportation.
I
don't
have
a
whole
lot
to
add
from
what
both
lee
and
matt
were
talking
about.
You
know,
I
think,
we're
supportive
of
this.
As
you
know,
we
have
done
several
green
streets
projects
around
the
city,
not
many,
but
when
and
when
we
have
funding
and
usually
that
funding
comes
from
non-transportation
resources
that
comes
from
somewhere
else,
so
we're
and
then
trying
to
match
that
up
with
a
pavement
project
or
another
street
improvement
project
is
it
is
a
little
tougher.
E
So
we're
going
to
start
looking
at
that
now
that
we're
planning
three
years
in
advance
for
payment
projects
and
if
we
would
have
funding
that
could
add
these
green
infrastructure
elements
into
it.
We
probably
can
do
it
within
that
three
year,
but
trying
to
try
to
do
it
within
a
one
year.
Time
frame
of
the
early
next
year's
paving
is
going
to
be
tough,
but
I
think
we're
open
to
looking
at
that
dependent
on
funding.
We
can.
We
can
do
this
it.
K
G
K
G
A
Councilmember
colin,
I'm
happy
to
have
you
make
a
motion.
I
was
gonna,
I
mean
I'm
in
full
support
of
your
your
memo.
I
just
want.
I
wanted
to
make
some
comments
and
support
first
to
say
thank
you
for
your
memo
and,
of
course,
when
I
read
your
memo,
I
my
first
reaction
was
to
say
I
wish
I
had
written
it
myself,
but
I
do
want
to
say
clearly
the
things
on
there
are
very
important
for
for
actions.
We
have
to
take
for
mitigating
climate
change.
A
If
everyone
hasn't
watched
the
netflix
documentary
kiss
the
ground,
it's
really
important
to
understand
how
these
kinds
of
actions
are
going
to
be
necessary,
reclaiming
the
earth,
greening
the
greening
our
landscapes
and,
while
most
of
that
has
to
do
with
agricultural
land,
there's
a
lot
of
things
we
can
do
in
our
city
landscapes
to
make
a
big
difference,
and
in
fact
it
occurs
to
me.
We
talk
about
the
cost.
I
you
know
we
ought
to
start
thinking
about
what
what
is
the
cost?
K
F
I
also
like
how
you
are
focusing
on
making
sure
that
this
is
this
is
equity-based,
and
one
of
the
concerns
that
I
had
was
that
a
lot
of
our
repaving
has
already
happened
in
and
and
all
and
I'm
gonna
blame
john
risto
in
the
transportation
department,
because
he's
doing
such
a
great
job
he's
covering
a
lot
of
our
streets.
Darn
it-
and
you
know
many
of
our
streets
that
have
already
been
done-
are
some
of
the
streets
that
needed
the
most
support
right.
F
F
Of
course,
my
own
district
and
I'm
thinking
about
you
know
we
could
line
it
up
with
combating
some
of
the
air
issues
around
reed
hill
view.
The
water
issues
around
lake
cunningham,
because
these
are
some
of
the
areas
that
have
already
been
targeted
or
probably
get
done
by
the
time
that
this
is
ready
to
go
or
there's
funding
lined
up
for
for
this
to
be
in
conjunction
with
other,
with
our
own
existing
priorities
and
efforts.
F
And
so
I'm
wondering
if
we
could
line
it
up-
and
I
think
you
left
a
very
flexible
council
member
davis
so
that
we
could
line
it
up.
It
doesn't
have
to
be
with
resurfacing
and
and
every
pavement
it
could
be
with
any
other
projects,
and
I
think
you
mentioned
you
know
the
better
bike
plan
vision,
zero
urban
village
plans.
F
I
just
wonder
if
we
can
expand
a
little
bit
more
to
maybe
you
know,
transportation,
infrastructure,
rebuilding
of
or
because
I'm
thinking
about
my
light
rail
extension
to
eastridge
and
there's
an
opportunity
there
as
well
to
to
coincide
with
some
funding.
That's
already
secured
and,
and
then
I'm
also
thinking
about
about
some
of
the
the
the
neighborhoods
in
my
district
have
already
been
repainted
or
resurfaced
that
we'll
miss
out.
And
what
will
we
do
for
those
folks?
F
And
so
I
wonder,
council,
member
davis,
if
you
would
be
willing
under,
I
think,
four
through
six,
you
said
that
are
already
existing
and
will
already
be
approved.
So
they're
not
part
of
the
motion.
But
I
wonder
if
you
would
add
some
additional
direction
in
in
this,
so
that
the
coordinated
approach
is
not
is
you
know,
I
love
that
all
the
teams
that
you've
expressed
there,
but
maybe
the
race
and
equity
department,
said
that
they
could
represent
some
of
those
neighborhoods.
F
C
F
However,
we
want
to
do
that
or,
if
maybe
john
wants
to
just
make
a
mental
note
or,
however,
you
want
to
integrate
this,
but
just
so
that
it
is
noted,
because
this
is
you
know,
citywide
efforts
that
are
taking
place
currently
and
we
have
a
very
aggressive
schedule
for
this
year
for
the
next
two
years.
So
I'm
just
go,
I'm
just,
and
I
don't
want
to
delay
them
in
any
way.
But
I
just
wonder
if
we
could
better
coordinate
with
that.
K
Thanks
councilmember
arenas,
and
I
want
to
be
clear
it
it's
not
only
about
about
repaving.
That
was
just
right
right,
your
your
transit
extension.
I
didn't,
I
didn't
even
think
of
that,
and
so
that's
a
great,
a
great
incorporation,
but
item
number
one.
It
doesn't
actually
talk
about
only
having
doing
greening
projects
with
repaving,
it's
just
talking
about
building
on
green
storm,
water
infrastructure
and
identifying
urban
greening
projects
and
making
that
equity
focus.
So
it
should
be
the
the
equity
lens
should
be,
irrespective
of
whether
or
not
there's
been
repaving
there.
F
E
It
councilman
davis-
maybe
I
could
jump
in
and
help
a
little
bit
john
risto
director
transportation
again,
while
while
the
green
infrastructure,
stormwater
work
and
and
ideas
that
are
being
talked
about
here
are
are
important.
We're
also
working
at
almost
on
a
complementary
plan
right
now
within
dot.
That's
the
urban
forestry
management
plan,
which
is
really
going
to
look
at.
E
To
come
to
council
at
the
end
of
april,
so
I
think
some
some
of
what
we
will
be
proposing
to
do
within
that
urban
forestry
management
plan
we'll
cover
some
of
the
some
of
the
questions
and
concerns
and
other
issues
that
are
brought
today
about
street
tree
canopies.
So
we're
happy
to
bring
that
forward
as
well.
It
is
only
complementary
to
this
large
large
effort,
but
an
important
one
as
well,
but
it
had
that.
F
Thank
you.
You
know
I
I
get
that
it's
not
only
just
resurfacing
and
and
repaving
effort,
that's
not
the
main
effort,
but
I
just
wanted
to
point
out
that
we
would
be
missing
some
of
these
neighborhoods
that
have
already
been
done,
and
so
just
to
balance
out
that
missed
opportunity
that
we
think
more
strategically
about
how
to
bring
something
else
into
the
picture,
but
love
that
love
the
idea.
I
really
appreciate
it.
F
I
just
wanted
to
make
sure
that
we
maximize
our
resources
and-
and
I
you
know,
of
course
I
support
all
of
the
existing
priorities
that
we
already
have
and
and
that
this
will
just
be
complimentary
and
I
hope
to
hear
some
of
those
songbirds
that
the
caterpillars
will
bring
soon
enough.
So
I
I
was
really
delighted
to
hear
how
everything
is
tied
together
and
just
does
that
that
reminder
of
nature
that
just
surrounds
us
and
so
thank
you,
councilmember
davis,
for
bringing
this
forward
great.
C
J
This
is
what
good
good
comprehensive
sensitive
government
looks
like
I
mean
jimenez.
Thank
you
for
putting
this
on
the
table.
Man
because
you,
I
read
your
memo
and
you
hit
every
single
point.
You
can't
like
articulate
each
one
of
those
pieces
in
each
one
of
these
efforts
that
you're
making
within
the
memo,
without
really
understanding
having
a
very
sensitive
understanding
of
the
challenges
that
people
are
faced
with
right
now
I
mean
it's
really
hard
to
listen
to
these
conversations
around
trees
and
canopies,
and
when
people
are
literally
dying
man,
people
are
suffering.
J
You
know,
people
there's
kids
right
now
in
their
houses,
scared
to
death,
because
they're
looking
at
the
fear
in
their
parents
eyes
with
regard
to
mommy.
What's
the
matter
daddy
what's
wrong
or
how
come
they're
not
home,
yet
well,
they're
too
busy
working
me.
They
can't
be
home
with
you,
you
know
and
suffering
on
these
levels
and
we're
talking
about
canopies
and
we're
talking
about
trees
and
what
it's
just
it's
offensive.
J
So
when
I
read
your
memo-
and
I
saw
how
how
clearly
you
understand
what's
happening
on
the
street
level,
which
is
where
I
live,
and
what's
what
is
actually
happening
in
our
communities
and
what
you
can
do
as
a
representative
of
not
only
your
district
but
of
samoa
as
a
whole
of
what
you
can
do
within
your
position
of
power.
You
are
exercising
that
and
I
can't
thank
you
enough
and
appreciate
that
and
that's
what
that's.
J
H
H
They
passed
similar
legislation
a
week
or
two
ago
and
yeah
it's
it's
just
our
better,
better
selves
or
better
persons.
Thank
you.
You
know.
I
compliment
the
work
of
berkeley
a
lot.
I
try
to
mention
they're
more
positive
work,
but
they
you
know
they
lack
sometimes
occasionally
and
it's
and
it's
important
to
bring
that
out,
and
you
know
with,
I
think,
the
the
words
of
paul
soto
for
the
last
item
to
talk
about
the
ideas
of
equity.
H
At
this
time
you
know
is
really
important,
and
I
I've
offered
my
own
words
about
the
ideas
of
open
public
policy
that
are
needed.
Both
of
those
ideas
can
kind
of
get
thrown
under
the
bus,
basically
and
they're
kind
of
left
behind.
Sometimes
so,
good
luck
in
how
just
how
to
address
all
parts
of
the
community
when
they
have
concerns
and
how
those
concerns
can
be
melded
into
a
community
hole
and
good
luck
in
all
of
our
efforts.
That
is
our
community
and
those
are
good
practices.
Thanks.
Q
Hi,
my
name
is
eric
larson,
I'm
a
grocery
workers
at
lucky's
wearing
a
mask
all
day.
Long
is
something
I've
gotten
used
to
many
cops.
Customers
have
bigly
campaign
complained
about
it,
though
some
have
shouted
at
me
and
co-workers
and
refused
to
comply
with
county
restrictions.
I
just
shrug
it
off
and
do
my
work
covet.
It
became
a
very
real
thing
in
my
life
after
christmas
holidays,
when
an
extremely
busy
time
in
the
store.
When
I
started
seeing
co-workers
disappear,
where
did
molly
go?
What
happened
to
dan
did
carl
get
sick.
Q
Q
Q
So
my
question
to
you,
city,
council
members-
is
this:
what
is
my
labor
worth?
I
put
myself
in
harm's
way.
I'm
asked
to
mast
up
and
be
in
an
environment
where
exposure
is
a
possibility.
In
fact,
it's
really
only
a
matter
of
time
before
I'm
exposed
to
covid.
I
work
in
environment
that
is
closed
in
I
take
pride
in
the
fact
that
I'm
an
essential
worker
I
feed
families
do
I
deserve
more
than
big
corporations
who
are
making
hand
over
fists
on
my
labor.
Yes,
I
do.
L
L
L
Now
it's
been
150
days
since
most
essential
workers
received
any
compensation
for
working
during
the
pandemic,
at
the
same
time
with
stay-at-home
orders
and
other
restrictions
limiting
competition
for
food
consumption.
Grocery
workers
are
racking
in
record
profits.
Instead
of
investing
some
of
these
profits
back
into
the
workforce,
they
have
either
increased
compensation
for
their
executives
or
used
it
to
buy
back
shares
to
increase
stock
prices.
One
example
is
albertson
safeway
spending,
1.6
billion
in
buybacks
jeff
bezos,
who
owns
whole
foods,
has
seen
his
wealth
grow
by
50
billion
dollars
during
pandemic.
L
Therefore,
on
behalf
of
all
grocery
workers,
I
ask
the
city
not
only
pass
the
hazard
pay
for
grocery
workers
ordinance,
but
that
it
does
so
in
a
way
that
ensures
these
businesses
can't
pass
the
cost
down
to
its
employees
by
cutting
hours
or
the
consumers
by
raising
prices.
Thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
speak.
C
P
P
P
This
isn't
intended
to
impact
the
7-elevens
or
or
it
is
an
example
in
my
district
there's,
a
small
supermarket
called
mercado
california
that
has
maybe,
like
15
employees,
barely
making
it
you
know,
and
so
so
that's
what
I
wanted
to
express
at
the
outset.
I'm
not
going
to
go
ahead
and
read
the
recommendations,
but
I
just
want
to
touch
on
a
few
things
that
I
think
are
important
to
know.
As
you
decide
how
you're
going
to
vote
on
this,
and
one
is
what
are
other
cities
doing
right?
P
I
think
that's
a
common
thing
that
we
as
the
city
of
san
jose,
look
at
when
we're
moving
forward
in
a
new
space,
and
so
I
want
to
list
off
a
few
things
so
long
beach,
for
example,
they've
already
approved
theirs.
It's
a
four
dollar
an
hour
applies
to
companies
with
300
employees
or
more
nationwide,
and
more
than
15
employees
per
store
in
long
beach.
That
was
unanimously
approved
january
26th.
P
Berkeley,
as
it
was
mentioned,
is
in
progress.
That's
five
dollars
an
hour
city
of
los
angeles
in
progress,
five
dollars
an
hour
and
I'm
not
going
to
go
in
the
detail
of
all
their
proposal.
Los
angeles
county
five
dollars
per
hour
in
progress
and
the
city
of
seattle
has
adopted
a
four
hour.
Four
dollar
per
hour
increase
applies
to
grocery
companies
with
more
than
500
employees
worldwide,
in
stores,
larger
than
10
000
square
feet
doesn't
apply
to
convenience
stores
or
farmers
markets.
The
ordinance
was
adopted
on
january
25th.
P
Now,
why
is
this
necessary?
Is?
Is
one
thing
that
you
may
be
asking
yourself
right?
We
we
know
that
a
prominent
example
that
we've
continued
to
lift
up
and
rightfully
so
of
folks
that
are
doing
the
great
work
during
this
pandemic.
Doctors
and
nurses
they're
quite
literally,
and
my
wife
works
at
a
hospital,
but
quite
literally,
in
the
front
lines
of
the
battle
against
this
virus.
P
The
other
thing
that
they
found
is
that
three
out
of
four
grocery
workers
who
tested
positive
were
asymptomatic,
demonstrating
that
workers
may
become
a
significant
transmission
source
if
they
continue
to
work
while
infected
the
other.
The
other
thing,
I
think,
is
important
to
note
is
that
why
big
box
stores
right
some
some
of
the
callers
touched
on
some
of
the
profits,
and
you
know,
as
our
local
businesses
and
most
notably
restaurants,
were
forced
to
shut
down
supermarkets
and
other
real
tale.
P
You
know
the
brookings
institute
did
a
study
and
it
showed
the
grocery
stores
are
reaping
record
profits,
increasing
rate
from
ranges,
25
percent
to
over
150
percent
and
and
some
of
some
of
the
grocers
have
been
doing
right
by
their
employees,
but
it
stopped
some
time
back
and
that's
why?
If
you
look
at
the
recommendation,
we
did
insert
some
language
in
there
to
to
give
credit
to
folks
that
are
already
doing
this
that
are
already
doing
right
by
their
employees
now.
P
The
other
thing
I
think
is
worth
noting
is:
why
did
why
did
we
make
sure
that
this
was
a
big
box?
Type
of
tailored
approach?
Is
that,
given
that
the
pandemic
has
had
a
disproportionate
impact
on
small
and
local
businesses,
just
want
to
be
very
clear
that
we're
not
seeking
to
apply
this
ordinance
to
small
neighborhood,
grocers
or
small
ethnic
grocers
with
less
than
300
employees
nationwide?
P
Given
that
they're
going
in
and
more
to
the
point,
if
the
hazard
of
becoming
infected
with
covet
19
persist,
my
view
is
that
so
should
the
pay,
and
so
that's
why
we
we
thought
that
it
should
be
tied
to
the
county
order.
Now
some
questions
may
arise
that
well,
what
is
the
opinion
of
the
city
attorney
and
I'm
sure
she
can
certainly
chime
in,
but
we
did
reach
out
to
the
city,
attorney's
office,
and
so
assuming
this
moves
forward.
P
C
C
D
D
D
D
So
there
it's
they're,
just
a
number
of
issues,
so
we're
we're.
We
are
working
on.
It
have
been
working
on
it
and
we
can
certainly
that
some
of
that
with
the
council-
I
I
don't
know
that
we
can
have
a
fully
formed
urgency
ordinance
by
next
week,
is
the
only
concern
that
I
would
have
and
coordinate
internally
with
staff
vice.
P
Mayor,
can
I
ask
a
question
sure
just
for
clarity,
nora,
I
guess
what
I'm
wondering
what
if
we
just
bring
this
topic
back?
Essentially
the
memorandum
is
written
to
the
council
next
week,
or
you
know
as
soon
as
possible
have
that
discussion
and
maybe
give
a
little
further
direction
to
you
all.
So
that
way
you
can
have
a
more
narrow
sort
of
path
forward
is.
Is
that.
C
E
Yeah,
thank
you
and
appreciate
councilmember
jimenez,
and
I
think
I
agree
with
you.
This
is
something
that
would
have
loved
to
have
considered
sooner.
I
don't
so.
I
don't
think
there's
any
point
in
the
finger
at
yourself.
I
really
think
you
know
all
of
us
have
an
opportunity,
and
but
at
this
point
let's
look
forward
right
and
and
let's
move
this
forward
and
I
think
we
can
have
the
discussion
at
the
council.
I
I
too
have
some
questions.
E
I
think
that
I'll
just
kind
of
teed
up
for
for
staff
or
for
our
city
attorney's
office
in
regards
to
when
we
come
back
councilmember
jimenez,
was
talking
about
a
focus
on
the
big
box.
I
think
that's
you
know,
I
think
that's
a
good
focus
some.
I
think
nuanced
challenges.
Maybe,
for
instance,
I
think
counselor
jimenez,
you
mentioned
711
as
not
necessarily
something
right
to
include.
As
a
you
know,
small
neighborhood
grocers.
E
There
are
a
number
of
7-elevens
that
are
franchise
owned,
but
I
think
there
are
also
several
that
are
corporate
owned
right
and
you
look
at
the
corporate
owned
ones
and
maybe
that
you
you
meet
threshold.
I
think
clearly
right
of
over
300
employees,
or
something
like
that.
So
I
don't
know
how
that
might
pan
out
right
when
you
talk
about
some
franchisees
and
stuff
like
that,
but
that
would
be
one
of
the
areas
that
you
know
I'd
be
interested
in
just
kind
of
seeing
how
do
we?
P
Yeah
yeah,
I
agree
I
mean
listen,
I
think
so.
I
agree
and
that's
why
it
was
important
for
me
to
say
it
right
at
the
outset
of
the
comments
that
this
is
tailored
and
narrowly
tailored
to
to
focus
on
the
costcos
of
the
world
right
like
walmarts,
whatever
it
may
be,
and
so
you
know-
and
I
personally
see
7-elevens
uniquely
different
right-
I
mean
I
I
don't
even
know
if
they
offer
they
may
offer
some
frozen
pizza
that
they
warm
up,
or
maybe
they
have
two
bananas
floating
around.
E
P
E
C
K
Thank
you,
councilmember
jimenez.
I
I
appreciate
where
your
heart
is
on
this
on
this
issue,
and
I
think
you
know
we
all
are
very
grateful
to
to
our
essential
workers,
including
our
our
grocery
store
workers.
During
this
time.
My
concern
is
what
happens
down
down
the
line.
So
if,
if
wages
get
raised
to
this
extent-
and
that's,
I
believe
it's
a
30
percent
increase
in
people's
wages,
we
already
have.
I
have
a
mercury
news
article
here
from
january
13th
covet
economy,
meat,
poultry,
fish,
eggs,
dairy
prices,
skyrocket
and
that's
without
this
enhancement.
K
That
you're
talking
about
is
hazard,
pay
that
you're
talking
about
I'm
concerned
what
happens
to
everyone's
grocery
prices
and
knowing
how
many
we
we
talk
about
it.
Every
time
we
get
a
covet
update,
how
many
people
can't
afford
food
already
in
our
city,
and
so
I'm
just
really
concerned
about
what
happens
to
our
food
prices
in
our
city
and
the
creation,
the
potential
creation
of
even
more
food
deserts
that
we
already
than
we
already
have,
and
we
know
that's
an
issue
in
some
parts
of
our
city.
K
So
I'm
I'm
really
very
concerned
about
what
happens
not
just
with
our
our
food
retail
workers,
but
what
happens
with
all
of
the
people
who
need
food
in
this
city,
who
already
are
having
a
hard
time
making
ends
meet
and
and
affording
it,
and
knowing
that
you
know
snap
benefits
and
other
cal
fresh
benefits
are
not
going
to
increase
commensurate
with
this,
and
that
prices
have
already
increased
before
this.
I'm
sorry,
but
I
can't
I
can't
support
support
this.
C
C
F
Arenas,
thank
you
chair,
so
I
I
wanted
also
to
just
thank
councilmember
jimenez
for
bringing
this
forward.
I
think
councilman
perales
expressed
some
of
my
concerns.
Already
one
is
one
of
the
one
of
them.
Is
that
how
to
distinguish
between
some
of
those
folks
who
own
franchises
and
but
are
not
exactly.
You
know
these
huge
corporate
corporations
owning
multiple
franchises
and
how
do
we
distinguish
between
some
small,
ethically
owned
franchises,
and
so
I'm
glad
we're
gonna
delve
into
that
a
little
bit
more.
F
I
do
think
that
we
need
to
make
sure
that
we
support
our
grocery
workers
with
an
unintended
consequence
of
of
exposure
to
covid.
More
than
anything,
I
have
not
really
used
delivery
service,
because
I
think
that
if
I
want
something
from
a
restaurant,
I
will
go
get
it.
If
I
need
something
from
from
a
store,
I
will
go
get
it
because
it's
it's
a
need
for
me
and
I
don't
want
to
expose
additional
people
down
the
line
of
service
delivery.
F
F
And
so
I
think
this
is
a
very
moderate
approach
and-
and
I
think
rather,
conservative-
just
and
and
we're
doing
this
ten
months
after
when
there
is
a
a
strain
that
is
a
little
more
contractible
than
the
original
strain
of
copen19.
And
so
I
think
it
is
due
time
for
our
grocery
workers
to
be
compensated
for
this
I'll,
be
supporting
the
motion
on
the
floor.
Thank
you.
C
C
C
And
I
can
give
you
some
specific
examples.
So
there
are
mass
out
there
that
are
comfortable,
they're
n99
rated,
and
you
know
you
could
survive
a
chemical
or
biological
attack
with
these
mass
and
they're.
They
run
about
35
each.
So
I'm
just
using
that,
as
as
one
example
of
what
types
of
investments
would
you
like
to
see
your
employers
make,
and
would
you
be
willing
to
make
those
kind
of
trade-offs
in
terms
of
an
hourly
paid,
a
wage
increase.
L
L
I
mean
in
my
personal
opinion,
you
know
as
far
as
what's
provided
to
the
workers
from
the
company
for
safety
precautions,
ppe,
so
on
and
so
forth.
It's
been
very
minimal.
Many
of
these
grocery
stores
aren't
even
limiting
the
amount
of
people
inside
the
store.
You
know
very
minimal
sanitizing
of
the
carts.
You
know
I
went
into
a
target
the
other
day
and
I
was
told
by
the
person
out
front
that
I
had
to
sanitize
my
own
cart.
I
had
to
grab
and
sanitize
my
own
cart.
L
You
know,
since
this
started,
you
know
we're
worse
off
now
than
we
were
when
the
original
stay-at-home
order
was
was,
was
was
put
in
place.
You
know,
numbers
keep
skyrocketing.
You
know
eric
spoke
on
this
when
he
made
his
comment.
You
know
it's
only.
A
matter
of
time
before
we
become
exposed,
I
mean
that's
the
rate.
It
is
there's
outbreaks
in
all
kinds
of
grocery
stores.
You
know,
I
think
the
hazard
pay
in
itself
is
not
only
going
to
incentivize
the
workers
to
continue
to
go
into
work,
but
it
gives
them
peace
of
mind.
L
You
know
a
sick
pay
is
really
minimal.
You
know,
if
you
contract
this,
this
cobin
19
and
you
have
to
quarantine.
You
know.
Sick
pay
only
go
so
much
the
the
the
amount
of
pay
that
these
workers
you
know
have
without
hazard
pay.
You
know
it
is
barely
getting
by
you
know,
can
you
imagine
living
in
california
and
trying
to
survive
and
pay
your
rent
on
15
an
hour?
It's
just
not
going
to
happen.
L
You
know,
so
these
are
reasons
why
you
know
we're
really
pushing
for
the
hazard
pay,
not
only
because
of
the
profits
that
the
company
is
making
the
this
car.
These
companies
are
not
putting
it
into
the
workforce,
they're
not
putting
it
into
the
the
ppe
or
or
the
safety
precautions
for
the
workers
they're
putting
it
into
themselves.
L
C
L
L
You
know
I'm
not
pointing
fingers,
but
as
as
eric
mentioned
his
comment,
we
do
deal
with
customers
who
just
don't
care,
they'll
walk
in
the
store
without
a
mask,
you
know,
and
and
it's
so
in
that
sense
you
know
the
safety
precautions
that
the
company-
you
know
the
trade-off.
You
know
it
can
only
go
so
far
because
you
can't
force
the
workers.
Excuse
me,
the
the
the
consumers
not
to
do
the
things
that
they're
doing
you
know
coming
into
the
store
without
a
mass,
not
keeping
social
distance.
L
C
Q
Q
You
know
a
huge
surge
and,
as
you
can
see,
you
know
we're
close
to
a
half
a
million
people
having
died
in
our
country
now,
and
I
mean
the
amount
of
folks
that
are
being
exposed
to
covet.
It
has
just
increased,
so
you
know
I
think
at
my
store,
you
know
the
precaution,
level
and
anxiety
level
has
gone
up
and
I
I
I'm
thankful
for
my
own
store
managers,
for
you
know
being
very
diligent
about
daily
checks.
Q
You
know
we
all
have
to
check
in
at
the
beginning
of
our
shift,
and
you
know
we
all
wear
the
sticker,
that
we've
answered
the
questions.
No,
we
haven't
been
exposed,
yes,
we're
feeling
fine
and
we're
not
sick
and-
and
we
can
work
today
so
I'm
starting
to
wear
double
masks.
You
know
dr
fauci
has
said:
wear
two
cloth
masks
that
will
increase
your
your
ability
to
protect
yourself.
So
you
know,
I
think
it's
a
matter
of
respect.
Q
Q
Q
You
know
you
look
back
at
at
november
right
up
to
the
election
with
all
the
the
trump
stuff
going
on.
We
had
so
many
maga
people
coming
into
the
stores,
not
wearing
masks
and
just
flaunting
the
thing.
Their
first
amendment
rights
and
thinking
that
this
is
all
a
hoax
and
and
that
continues-
and
I
can't
confront
these
customers
and
tell
them
to
leave.
C
No,
no
eric,
I
don't
want
to.
I
don't
want
to
cut
you
off,
but
I
I
get
it.
I
understand
the
the
issues
and
the
hazards
that
you're
facing
so
I
I
can't
speak
for
everyone,
but
I
think
for
most
people
there's
a
recognition
of
one.
The
hard
work
that
you
do,
the
ability
or
desire
to
be
able
to
you
know
provide
for
your
family.
So
that's
not
in
in
dispute.
C
E
C
C
H
Hi,
thank
you.
That
was
a
lot
for
that
last
item.
Thank
you
for
everyone's
work
for
this
item.
I
wanted
to
mention
that
I
heard
here
through
city
council
meetings,
catherine
hedges.
I
think
she
spoke
at
a
council
meeting
a
few
weeks
ago
that
homeless
people
they
aren't
being
able
to
get
hotel
vouchers
as
easy
as
they
used
to.
They
have
to
go
through
a
much
more
rigorous
process.
H
H
You
know
the
whole
coveted
episode
that
we're
involved
in
is
not
the
fault
of
everyday
people,
and
I
hope
that
can
be
a
really
guiding
force,
how
we
create
policy
and
that
we
don't
have
to
be
fearful
of
the
subsidy
process
and
that's
the
major
issue
for
people
and
it
ends
up.
People
end
up
getting
really
hurt
by
that,
and
it's
a
lot
to
ask
people
to
want
to
use
the
subsidy
process
and
what
it
can
just
make
a
lot
simpler
and
safer
for
everyone.
H
J
J
You
know
that
we're
doing
this
under
a
lot
of
different
faceted
conditions
that
I
can't
articulate
within
two
minutes.
If
I
had
10
I'd,
be
able
to
I'd,
be
able
to
work
wonders
with
10
minutes,
I
could
only
have
two,
and
so
I
just
want
to
applaud
you
for
at
least
making
an
attempt
to
address
this
issue.
J
But
if
you
have
any
questions
about
the
urgency
of
the
of
the
moment
in
terms
of
emergency
and
some
of
the
bureaucracy
that
that
doesn't
allow
that
to
establish
itself,
make
it
concrete
in
the
community
just
walk
outside
right
now,
just
walk
outside
with
no
jacket
on
and
just
walk,
and
then
just
imagine
that
condition
over
weeks
and
then
you'll
get
like
a
sense
you'll.
Maybe
maybe
sensitize
yourself
to
the
urgency
of
the
moment
and
what
we
are
morally
challenged
to
do.
J
I
don't
think
that
the
the
application
of
government
is
absent,
of
our
moral
and
ethical
authority
or
mandate
we
are
mandated
to
legislate.
We
use
the
law
to
legislate
morals
and
ethics.
The
law
is
simply
just
a
tool.
It's
not
the
overall
that
and
be
all
all
the
law
really
is
actually
designed
to
do
is
to
facilitate
the
moral
and
ethical
standards
of
the
society
in
which
the
laws
exist,
which
is
why
I
appreciate
what
councilman
jimenez
was
doing.
He
was
using
the
law
to
legislate
the
moral
and
ethical
values
of
the
community.
P
Is
it
okay,
if
I
say
something
now
just
before
I
mean
I
read
the
memo
so
but
it
didn't
come
on
my
radar
until
a
little
late.
I
just
want
to
say
I
appreciate
the
efforts.
I
think
what
you're
gonna
hear
councilmember
mayhem
from
folks,
maybe
here
at
the
full
council
when
this
goes
forward,
is
just
simply
that
there's
a
view
that
I
think
is
broadly
held
and
it's
held
by
me
that
not
every
district
has
stepped
up
to
do
its
part.
P
In
fact,
your
predecessor,
you
know
I've
never
said
this
publicly,
but
I
had
a
sense
of
what
was
happening.
Is
there
was
a
site
that
was
going
to
be
considered
for
bridge
housing
in
district
10
on
the
corner
of,
I
think
coleman
and
almaden
expressway,
your
predecessor
actually
came
out
very
openly
and
it
got
that
redesignated
as
parkland.
P
I
believe.
Just
so
simply,
some
of
these
spaces
wouldn't
be
considered
for
such
things,
and
so
I
really
appreciate
you
putting
this
out
and
and
hope
that
it's
really
indicative
of
things
to
come,
in
which
folks
from
other
districts,
including
district
10,
quite
frankly,
is
going
to
step
up
and
really,
I
think,
participate
in
moving
this
issue
forward.
So
I
thank
you
so
much
for
the
memo
appreciate
it.
P
R
Okay,
thank
you.
Thank
you
thanks
councilmember
jimenez,
and
I
certainly
well
it's
not
specifically
under
the
purview
of
this
memo.
I'll
just
say
for
the
record.
I
think
it's
important
that
every
district
shares
in
the
burden,
if
you
want
to
call
it
that
of
caring
for
those
who
need
shelter
and
services
and
that
that
should
not
just
be
on
you
know
a
couple
of
districts,
so
I
share
that
sentiment
in
terms
of
this
memo.
It's
a
pretty,
narrowly
defined,
ask
and
you'll
all.
R
I
just
want
to
make
sure
everyone's
aware
that,
in
addition
to
the
memo
that
you've,
hopefully
seen,
there's
a
early
consideration
response
form
for
prioritization
and
staff
gave
us
a
green
light
on
this.
I
want
to
thank
matt
cano
and
public
works
and
his
colleagues
in
housing
who
came
together
and
reviewed
this
request
and
felt
that
this
could
be
greenlit
as
something
that
fits
that
is
small
aligned
and
fits
within
the
existing
work
plan.
R
So
my
intention
is
not
necessarily
for
this
to
need
to
go
to
council
at
this
time,
but
just
for
staff
to
I,
you
know
to
carry
out
the
work
as
as
per
the
early
consideration
response
form.
So
I
really
appreciate
staff's
input
and
support
on
this
idea
and
just
to
summarize
quickly
what
the
idea
is
and
then
curious.
R
If
folks
have
questions
that
I
can
help
clarify,
I
think
what
we're
going
for
here
is
to
encourage
the
city
in
an
efficient
and
focused
way
to
be
proactive
about
analyzing
vacant
land
and,
in
this
case
we're
just
focused
on
caltrans
land
that
is
vacant
and
at
least
one
acre
in
size.
So
we're
putting
a
floor
on
it.
We
think
it
would
not
be
a
good
use
of
staff
time
to
look
at
smaller
sites
and
and
where
staff
thinks
there
is
even
potential
for
emergency
housing.
R
Now
this
actually
has
already
been
somewhat
in
motion
from
the
state.
So
over
a
year,
just
over
a
year
ago,
the
governor
issued
an
executive
order
that
actually
required
the
state
department
of
general
services
to
identify
excess
state
lands,
and
we
did
receive
a
list
of
five
sites.
The
problem
and
the
reason
that
I
feel
this
and
I
think
the
mayor,
you
know
the
mayor
and
I
both
feel
that
this
memo
is
necessary,
is
that
we
only
got
five
sites
and
they
were
not
even
necessarily
they
were
not.
R
So,
but
just
to
be
clear.
This
is
very,
very
narrowly
focused
on
doing
the
gis
analysis,
identifying
all
properties
over
one
acre
where
short-term
emergency
housing
may
be
feasible
and
then
it
would
require
further
action
to
do
anything
with
that
list.
So
this
is
very
much
an
incremental
first
step
and
I'll
I'll
leave
it
there,
because
I'm
sure
there'll
be
follow-up
questions,
but
that's
the
intention.
C
E
E
I
mean
it
was
a
a
pain
in
the
challenges
we
were
having
with
trying
to
collaborate
with
the
state,
obviously
night
and
day,
compared
to
what
we
saw
last
year
because
of
the
pandemic
and
I'll
tell
you
and-
and
I
know
that
councilmember
jimenez
brought
it
up
and
and
then
councilman
mayhem
kind
of
made
a
mention
of
in
regards
to
the
the
burden
in
in
reality.
Obviously
right
we
recognize.
This
is
a
need,
and,
and
if
we
can
achieve
it,
it's
not
a
burden.
The
burden
is
the
process.
E
That
is
the
burden
and
and
it
doesn't
help
when
it
gets
dragged
out,
and
certainly
you
know,
I
think
that
the
pandemic
has
helped
to
to
to
be
able
to
speed
up
the
process
a
little
bit
and-
and
I
think,
if
we
can
try
to
identify
a
couple
sites
that
are
a
little
better
in
my
mind,
you
know
add
to
this
list
that
the
the
state
has
put
forward.
We
need,
you,
know
dozens
more
of
these
bridge
housing
sites,
and
yes,
indeed
right.
E
E
Stop
in
district
three,
we
have
some
of
the
highest
population
of
homeless,
community
members
in
the
entire
county,
so
we're
not
going
to
stop
building
these
solutions,
but
I
have
made
a
point
of
it
to
ensure
that
I
also
am
pushing
that
we
get
more
equitable
distribution
throughout
the
whole
city,
because
I
I
do
hear
my
community
members
when
they
say
hey,
you
know
we're
seeing
a
lot
of
these
solutions
pop
up
in
our
neighborhoods.
Why
aren't
we
seeing
them
in
others?
And
so
I
think
you
know
it.
E
K
A
Cohen
yeah,
no,
I
appreciate
you
bringing
this
forward.
It's
great
that
we're
going
to
get
moving
on
finding
sites.
I
mean
my
only
comments
are
just
that
this
is
overdue
and
and
needed
in
in
such
a
way-
and
I
think
you
know
councilman
problems
said
you
know
we
need
dozens
of
sites,
so
my
question
would
be:
is
there
I
other
than
the
fact
that?
Obviously
it
takes
that
time
and
effort?
Is
there
a
reason
to
specifically
limit
this
to
caltrans
sites,
or
I
mean?
Are
there
other
potential
sites
that
we
may
be
overlooking?
A
So
we
can
get
some
of
these
things
moving
and
back
to
council
member
paralysis.
Point
I'm
I'm
perfectly
happy
to
fight
for
some
of
these
sites
in
district
four,
we
you
know,
while
we
know
there's
a
there's,
a
definitely
a
high
density
of
of
encampments
in
district
three.
We
we
certainly
have
them
in
district
four
and
we're
gonna
need
to
find
places
in
district
4
and
all
throughout
the
city,
and-
and
there
is
one
on
the
list
there
for
district
4.
A
R
O
Sure
councilmember,
thank
you
very
much.
Matt
kano,
director
of
public
works,
as
indicated
in
the
response,
and
as
councilman
mahan
mentioned,
we
we
do
see.
This
is
a
green
light
to
do
the
staff
work
for
the
analysis
of
caltrans
properties
and
we
I
don't
have
an
exact
time
frame,
but
we
can
get
it
much
earlier
than
the
spring
it
would.
It
won't
take
that
long.
We
just
need
to
get
our
staff
focused
on
it
for
a
few
weeks
and
within
the
next
month
or
two
at
the
latest.
O
R
Thank
you
thanks,
man
again
really
appreciate
you
and
your
team's
willingness
to
talk
through
this
and
and
try
to
work
it
in
in
a
really
efficient
way,
and
I
think
councilmember
cohen,
to
your
questions,
and
please
tell
me
if
I've
missed
any
of
it.
I
think
the
the
idea
here
is
to
move
quickly
and
efficiently,
not
allow
the
scope
of
this
to
balloon
too
much.
R
Look
at
excess
lands.
You
know
owned
by
other
governmental
bodies,
agencies
et
cetera,
so
I
think
that's
kind
of
the
spirit
of
it
is
to
just
move
really
quickly.
This
is
sort
of
an
mvp
minimum
viable
product.
If
you
will
and
and
just
see
where
it
takes
us-
and
I
think,
if
we're
getting
traction,
there's
no
reason.
We
can't
quickly
turn
around
and
look
at
lands
owned
by
other
other
bodies.
Fair.
H
H
H
B
H
H
H
I
had
one
one
quick
thing
to
say
a
few
quick
things
to
say
one
from
yesterday's
meeting
that
I
have
a
few
words
about
the
martin
luther
king
city
hall,
memorial
lighting,
I'd
like
to
simply
remind
that
with
the
ceremonial
lighting
of
for
martin
luther
king
at
city
hall.
It's
a
very
good
time.
We
can
all
understand
his
good
ideas
on
non-violence
and
the
better
human
ideals
of
equity
and
reimagine.
H
It's
just
simply
can
invite
all
sides
to
to
our
issues
at
this
time.
If
we
talk
about
equity
and
and
reimagine-
and
I
I
hope
we
can
do
that-
and
that's
that's
what
our
positiveness
is
and-
and
you
know
my
feelings
about
open
public
policy
ideas-
how
that
can
help.
There's
just
a
lot
of
good,
that's
possible
that
I
hope
people
want
to
work
on
and
that's
the
way
we
work
our
issues
out.
H
It's
on
those
terms
and
that
can
invite
everybody
to
the
process
and
then
that's
hopeful
and
good,
and
I
hope
we
can
do
that.
There's,
there's
community
energy
issues
that
will
be
coming
up
in
in
previous
and
future
agendas
that
I
will
like
to
talk
about
and
yeah
good
luck
to
our
community
process
and
really
just
inviting
all
parts
of
the
community
to
hear
all
parts
of
the
community.
