D
C
F
Sorry
about
that
so
on
on
here,
I
am
sorry
I'm
not
organized
here,
so
on
ceremonial
items
is
there
a
more
other
than
talking
to
Steve?
Is
there
a
more
formal
process
to
getting
in
your
ceremonial
item
in
there?
No,
no
okay,
because
I
had
spoken
to
Stephen
regarding
Asian
American
heritage
month
for
May
and
councilman
batra
myself
and
councilmer
Dawn
we're
going
to
to
do
that.
So
it's
not
here
so
I'm,
just
I
think
it's
kind
of
strange.
You.

10.2.
J
K
Hi,
this
is
Tony
Tabor,
City
Clerk
I'm
in
through
Zoom.
We
we
did
call
for
public
comment
in
the
first
item
and
there
was
nobody
so
that
one's
already
done
so
go
ahead
and
speak
on
this
particular
item.
J
I
have
a
real
procedural
issue.
I
was
here
before
the
meeting
started.
They
would
not.
Let
me
in
that's
a
problem.
What
happened
with
that?
Just
so
you
know
that
situation.
I
was
not
allowed
public
comment.
I
was
not
allowed
to
come
in
before
the
meeting
started.
That's
an
issue
just
so
you
guys
know
with
that
said.
I'll
continue,
but
just
so
you
know,
what's
up
can
I
have
my
time
again
start
at
the
beginning.
J
You
just
speak
to
the
military
use
issues,
I
hope
it
was
noticed
at
pistris
committee
at
April
of
April
20
2023,
that
person's
from
the
American
friends
service
committee
afsc,
wanted
to
better
talk
to
sjpd
about
how
to
much,
improve
and
work
more
to
the
initial
goals
and
ideas
of
ab
481
and
how
to
develop
a
more
accountable
military
use.
Policy
for
local
California
communities.
J
The
overall
process
of
good
organized
guidelines,
open
public
policies,
use
policies
and
legal
precedence
that
can
be
initially
developed
together
by
everyday
community.
Community
advocacy
and
local
government
can
then
allow
a
combined
good
effort
towards
a
more
direct
open,
accountable
dialogue
in
the
future
of
our
community
practices
and
projects.
As
in
the
case
of
good
technology
policies
and
guidelines,
like
AB
481,
we
can
simply
work
towards
a
more
open
participatory
democracy,
public,
better
public
oversight,
more
responsible
practices
and
how
to
more
openly
practice
civil
protections
within
a
local
community.
J
A
reminder
in
how
these
ideas
and
practices
tend
to
work
towards
the
ideas
of
Peace
before
war
or
harm
in
local
community
decision
making.
I
feel
these
are
important
direct
ways
and
the
good
efforts
at
the
local
level
how
everyday
community
and
Community
advocacy
advocacy
can
start
to
ask
how
to
collectively
work
to
lessen
the
future
of
the
prison,
military,
industrial
and
technological
State
at
the
national
and
international
level.
J
These
are
important
words,
guys
I'm
working
towards
really
peaceful
things
and
a
participatory
process,
for
you
guys
to
lock
me
out
is
questionable
and
I'll
be
polite
and
I'll
hope
we
can
offer
a
few
words
from
a
really
good
agenda.
May
2nd
agenda
at
open,
Forum
time,
and
thank
you.
C
All
right,
thank
you,
Blair,
oh
I,
think
we
have
an
online
comment
here.
Yeah.
M
C
Okay,
thank
you
just
start
with
my
question.
We
have
it
says
ceremonial,
oh
I,
believe
it
says.
Ceremonial
item
has
an
item
to
be
heard.
In
the
evening
we
normally
have
been
moving
the
land
use
agenda
to
the
day,
and
this
agenda
seems
short
enough
that
we
might
not
get
to
the
evening
if
we
do
that,
I
just
want
to
know
recommendation
about
how
we
should
proceed
on
that
or
if
anybody
on
the
committee
wants
to
make
a
recommendation,
how
to
proceed
on
that.
H
We
can
certainly
check
in
with
council
member
Candelas
and
Ortiz
if
they
would
be
able
to
move
that
to
the
afternoon
and
chat
about
this
again
next
week
at
the
rules
committee,
it
is
Overfelt
High,
School
boys
soccer
team,
which
I
repeatedly
lost
to
in
high
school
myself,
but
they
may
have
a
hard
time
getting
here
at
1
30,
but
we
will
check
in
with
those
offices.
E
C
E
N
Ahead
yeah,
so
so
that
makes
sense
to
move
it
to
a
four
but
I,
don't
I
suspect
some
of
the
kids
probably
have
rides
that
they
need
for
their
parents
and
other
relatives,
and
so
what
I'm
curious
about?
If
we
cancel
it
now
and
then
we
go
reach
out
to
to
Dominguez
and
Ortiz,
they
can't
make
it
at
four.
Then
what
what
do
we
do,
then,
if
we've
already
canceled
it.
E
E
N
N
G
H
H
So
I
was
just
going
to
say
that
is
typically,
we
need
two
weeks.
All
of
these
been
noticed
for
1
30,
actually,
okay,.
A
H
We
will
go
back
and
Rochelle
will
have
a
conversation
with
the
mayor's
office
and
councilmember
candelison.
C
E
So
I'll
move
the
May
9th
agenda,
removing
the
evening
session
and
asking
staff
to
investigate
moving
the
presentation
for
Overfelt
to
time
certain
five
o'clock.
D
C
I
J
Hi
Blair
Beekman
here
to
speak
on
a
consent
item
working
on
agenda
future
committee
issues.
It's
about
moderate
income
issues
that
I
is
I,
think
an
important
subject.
How
we
talk
about
the
future
of
moderate
income.
Moderate
income
can
go
up
to
eighty
to
a
hundred
thousand
dollars
a
year
income
for
people
and
that's
a
lot
of
money
and
I
to
me.
That's
you
know
our
high-end
teachers
Union
persons
and
for
them
to
be
working
in
the
future
with
mixed
income
ideas,
I
think
there
they
can
be.
J
They
are
more
willing
and
understandable
to
want
to
work
towards.
They
can
work
with
very
low
and
extremely
low
income,
people
more
I,
think
and
to
work.
Those
ideas
towards
mixed
income
is
an
important
concept
for
a
future
because,
basically
moderate
income,
if
a
person
to
the
council
I'm
speaking
I
I
need
to
be
listened
to
here,
you
guys
are
a
bit
going
overboard
here.
Thank
you,
I
I'm,
you
know
the
persons
of
a
moderate
income.
J
They
have
a
way
to
to
connect
well
with
with
very
low
and
extremely
low,
and
it's
a
way
to
really
Define.
What
is
our
current
standard
of
of
high
income?
Basically
I
feel
people
at
80
to
100.
000
is
pretty
high
income.
So
good
luck
in
in
how
to
there's
an
important
melding
process
to
take
place,
how
to
better
talk
about
mixed
income,
ideas
that
are
were
kind
of
mandated
to
to
do
by
2029.
J
That
I
think
we
need
to
start
really
doing
now
and
to
get
ahead
of
the
curve
and
the
process
to
really
develop
Cooperative
practices.
Good
luck!
We
I
hope
you
learned
important
lessons
yesterday
about
what's
being
more
Cooperative.
Thank
you.
M
You
Paul
Soto
from
the
Horseshoe
two
things
number
one
is
the
issue
with
councilman
Ortiz,
getting
a
little
like.
You
know
a
little
too
generous
with
my
money.
M
I'd
like
an
accounting
of
how
much
money
is
going
out
from
councilman
Ortiz
I
mean
he's
he's
just
like
spending
it
like
it's,
not
his
and
and
I
get
I.
Guess
it's
like
you
know
to
him:
it's
not
it's!
It's
other
people's
money.
M
So
why
not
be
you
know
generous
about
it
and
I
think
that
there's
maybe
some
possible
campaign
kind
of
issues
going
on
here,
not
like
using
the
using
like,
for
example,
indigenous
women
in
the
murder
rate,
that's
going
on
in
that
Community
using
these
things
as
political
vehicles
using
City
money
as
a
political
vehicle
in
order
to
promote
himself
or
promote
particular
causes
you
see
and
that
doesn't
go
through
Council.
You
know
these
things.
These
are.
M
These
are
City
monies
that
are
being
used
in
order
to
place
a
council
member
in
a
particular
type
of
position.
I,
don't
like
that
I
think
that
needs
to
be
checked.
That's
number
one
number
two
is
the
housing
issues
we
need
look
when
you
have
from
2016
till
now,
95
and
100
to
150
percent
of
market
rate
housings
being
approved
and
going
up.
M
Okay
at
the
same
time,
at
the
same
rate,
2016
till
now,
never
breaking
the
threshold
of
25
on
Ali
and
bli,
and
then
look
at
us
like
we're
the
ones
that
are
being
sticklers
on
challenging
you
to
do
something
about
this.
When
are
you
gonna?
Stop
not
doing
something
about
this
and
start
doing
something
about
this?
People
are
dying
on
our
streets.
The
homeless
rate
is
going
to
continue
to
accelerate
because
of
your
failures
and
your
inadequacies
and
your
incompetency
to
challenge
that
those
numbers
do.
J
Good
luck
and
how
moderate
income
housing
can
really
address
our
housing
future
goals
as
well.
I
think
you
can
build
things
really
well
in
our
future
too,
and
connect
that
all
to
mixed
income.
That's
good
stuff
for
all
the
hype
building
in
the
past
few
months
for
police
to
once
again
be
at
the
center
of
community
life
and
experience
in
this
country.
J
How
exactly
we're
going
to
better
address
the
recent
drug
bust
of
an
sjpoa
executive
manager
who
is
importing
and
distributing
Pharmaceuticals
and
Fentanyl
in
the
five
past
five
plus
years,
as
most
people
can
understand
the
failings
and
shortcomings
of
local
police
departments,
I
hope
we
can
be
continually
open
to
honest
dialogue,
ideas
and
Reporting.
At
this
time,
Chief
Mona
has
stated
he
wants
to
help
bring
Justice
to
this
situation
through
guesswork
in
innuendo
I'm.
J
Currently
guessing
the
sjpoa
Enterprise
was
possibly
met
in
terms
of
quietly
fulfilling
addict
needs
in
local
jails
or
giving
out
small
pharmaceutical
amounts
for
special,
specific
sjpd
Ops,
but
it
also
needs
to
be
considered
if
sjpoa
fentanyl
distribution
had
somehow
been
behind
the
waves
of
bad
batches
of
fentanyl.
That
sometimes
has
cause
harm
death
and
death
to
a
numbers
of
people
at
a
time
in
local
SCA
neighborhoods
and
across
the
state
and
Country
I
feel
an
open,
Community
review
process,
learning
to
better
work
with
Federal
investigators
to
address
both
sjpoa
and
sjpdpd.
J
Together,
we
can
possibly
close
a
Channel
of
perhaps
several
channels
or
perhaps
several
channels,
a
fentanyl
distribution,
harm
and
death
in
local
San,
Jose
neighborhoods.
Sadly,
this
may
be
something
of
a
regular
issue
in
this
country
in
San
Jose.
This
is
an
infrastructure
problem
is
embarrassing
as
difficult
as
the
2017
flood.
We
need
to
make
clear
the
sjpo
away,
fentanyl
issues,
distribution
issues
and
work
efforts
to
balance
to
work
towards
a
more
balanced
narrative.
What
more
exactly
is
policing,
reimagine,
good
guidelines
and
public
oversight
for
the
future
of
local
neighborhoods
and
communities?
M
Hear
me
yes,
hello.
Thank
you.
Apostle
from
the
Horseshoe
I
want
to
talk
about
Diaz
versus
San,
Jose
Unified,
School
District.
That
is
an
excellent
excellent
start
point
because
it
was
the
first
time
in
the
city's
history.
It
was
a
desegregation
case
on
par
with
Mendez
versus
Westminster
I'm.
Sure
you
guys
remember
that
one
that
was
the
that
was
the
precedent
case
that
Thurgood
Marshall
used
for
Topeka
Kansas
I
mean
Brown
versus
Topeka
Kansas,
which
most
of
you
know
is
Brown
versus
Board
of
Education.
M
Well,
this
was
this
Region's
landmark
Brown
versus
Board
of
Education,
because
For
the
First
Time
In
This
City's
history.
We
were
able
to
quantify
the
impacts
of
redlining
when
you
read
this
case
and
I
I
implore.
You
there's
someone
on
this
Council
right
now.
That
was
interested
in
learning
where
the
roots
are
well.
The
language
is
in
there
and
get
this.
The
the
case
was
argued
on
behalf
of
Diaz
by
none
other
than
Stephen
V
manly,
our
own
judgmental.
He
argued
it
on
November
4th
1971..
M
This
was
the
landmark
case,
and
so
when
you
read
it,
though,
you're
going
to
see
articulated
For
the
First
Time
The
generational
impacts
and
the
quantifiable
impact
of
redlining
the
discrimination,
the
light,
the
segregation,
the
and
and
how
that
segregation,
because
the
the
varios
were
were
segregated,
but
the
amounts
of
taxes
that
were
going
into
the
schools
was
reduced.
That's
why
Prop
13
came
in
only
years
later,
right
after
that
case.
M
So
can
you
see
the
connections?
Then
the
Prop
13
protections
prevented
all
these
homes
in
the
red
line
districts
from
paying
their
due
taxes.
We
need
to
start
talking
about,
maybe
amending
prop
13..
You
know
I'm,
sick
and
tired
of
these
people,
not
paying
their
fair
share
of
assessed
taxes
on
their
homes.
I
think
it's
time.
O
Yes,
hi
Martha
O'connell
Jess
I'm
a
well.
Congratulations
are
very
much
due
for
your
Copa
action
last
night.
Thank
you.
During
that
presentation,
I
heard
the
word
preservation.
It
must
have
been
said
at
least
150
times
and
I
was
stunned
and
amazed
that
the
housing
department
did
not
discuss
the
mobile
home
park
redesignation.
They
were
told
on
10
18
20
22
by
the
Esparza
Foley
memo
to
start
the
process
they're
supposed
to
be
working
on
13
Parks.
O
Three
of
those
are
senior
parks,
and
one
of
them
is
one
of
the
lowest
income
parks
in
San
Jose.
It
represents
2685
homes,
they're
waiting
for
the
designation.
It
was
pointed
out
that
five
million
dollars
was
spent
and
I
proposed
and
I
think
you
were
going
to
get
five
houses
out
of
it
for
a
minuscule
amount
of
money.
Please
tell
housing
and
planning
to
get
the
ball
rolling
to
get
these
2
685
homes
redesignated,
and
then
we
move
on
to
the
other
8
000
homes.
