A
A
A
B
B
So
I
want
to
call
the
joint
meeting
for
the
rules
and
open
government
committee
and
committee
of
the
whole
to
order
and
tony
can
we
have
a
roll
call.
Please
uranus.
B
D
No,
it
is
not
vice
mayor.
If
the
committee
would
like
to
defer,
we
would
recommend
giving
staff
direction
to
come
back
at
the
a
meeting
in
march
and
we'll
look
at
the
horizon
report
and
try
to
identify
a
meeting
that
isn't
over
loaded
at
this
point.
But
you
can
absolutely
defer
that
item
to
another
date.
B
Right
well,
the
maker
of
the
motion.
Please
consider
that
okay,
so
is
it
8
9,
10,
11.
B
B
What
is
the
urgency
or
need
to
have
it
on
that
specific
agenda
for
each
one
of
those
items.
D
Sure,
thank
you
vice
mayor,
so
8.1,
which
is
appeared
concurrently
with
10.2,
could
be
deferred,
there's
not
a
legal
reason
for
it
to
be
heard.
Next
week,
however,
the
administration
would
like
8.2
to
be
heard,
as
that
would
hold
up
hold
up
a
funding
agreement
as
part
of
our
recovery
efforts.
A
C
Okay,
I
mean
I'll
make
comments,
I
can
make
comments
later,
but
I
just
think
that
we
don't
actually
have
too
long
of
an
agenda.
I
only
see
two
items,
including
8.1,
that
are
look
like
they
might
be
time
consuming.
B
A
C
Yes,
you
are
understandably
tighter
on
these
issues.
After
we've
had
a
later
night
understood.
B
A
B
That's
a
great
point,
thank
you,
tony
all,
right
to
the
public
blair.
E
Hi
weatherbeekman
here
happy
wednesday,
happy
for
about
mid
february
time,
interesting
meeting
last
night,
I
was
surprised
at
budget
issues
that
really
talked
about
the
future
of
technology
needs
and
ai
technology
needs.
It
sounds
like
blair
with
you
with
your
digital
inclusion
items
on
this
agenda
today
notice.
How
I
nicely
put
that
together
vice
mayor.
E
With
your
digital
inclusion
items
today
a
reminder
and
the
importance
of
good
ai
practices
and
and
civil
rights
and
civil
protection
ideals
that
are
incredibly
important
to
our
ai
thinking
at
this
time,
and
digital
inclusion
needs
that
you
know
I
I
just
it's
my
mantra
here,
just
to
remind
yourselves
of
what
open
public
policies
and
accountability
with
technology
can
really
offer
ourselves
as
a
full
community
process,
and
digital
inclusion
needs
public
policy
ideas
and
accountability
for
itself
and
how
we
can
define
our
community
future.
E
Thank
you
that
you've
worked
out
that
the
city
commission
charter
commission
needs
to
possibly
still
work
on
a
legal
language
for
this
june
election
time.
For
the
mayoral
issues.
Are
they
going
to
still
be
working
on
issues
for
the
fall
election
time
and
what
items
and
what
legal
language
can
be
placed
on
the
fall
election
process
for
the
future
of
the
charter,
to
bring
to
the
voters
to
vote
on
if
they
want
it
for
the
charter
or
not?
E
Is
the
city
charter
commission
going
to
work
on
a
language
for
that
time
as
well,
and
just
to
mention
that
here
and
just
so,
we
can
be
open
and
knowledgeable
about
things
and
questioning
thanks
a
lot
all
right.
B
F
Okay,
good,
thank
you.
You'd
hear
me
loud.
F
F
Final
agenda,
whatever
that
means,
but
and
then
you
have
all
the
rules
of
how
you're
gonna
kick
this
out
and
all
that,
but
that's
getting
back
to.
Luckily
I
heard
what
blair
was
saying,
so
I
you
know.
This
is
why
it
takes
a
village
to
have
democracy,
and
you
know
he's
talking
about
digital
inclusion.
So
thank
you,
blair
and
that's
very
important
as
we
go
forward
into
what
my
husband
as
the
biologist
and
climate
sciences.
F
Not
are
we
in
the
age
of
they
call
it
anthropocene,
which
is
human
cause
that
humans
are
causing
so
much
problems,
he's
calling
it
now
the
age
of
chaos?
That's
where
we're
going
into
and
as
we
sit
here
today
at
75
degrees
and
la
is
85.
We
have
a
lot
of
problems
that
we
are
facing
and
we're
not
facing,
and
so
we
need.
F
I've
lost
the
thread
of
digital
inclusion,
but
I'm
getting
there.
Thank
you.
Sweetie,
and
the
digital
inclusion
is
very
critical
as
we
move
away
from
burning
fossil
fuels
that
we
have
to
do
to
survive,
that
we
must
use
our
digital
democracy
and
our
digitalization.
F
We
are
so
lucky
to
have
a
plan
b
as
humans,
because
we
have
a
plan
b
and
we
saw
how
it
helped
us
with
our
covid,
which
is
also
brought
to
us
because
of
our
fossil
fuel
use,
and
so
we
had
the
plan
b
and
we
must
stay
in.
In
regards
to
that.
We
must
keep
that
going
and
have
that
happen
all
in
all
of
our
methodologies
with
our
work,
our
school
everything
needs
to
be
hyper,
local
and
and
so
that
we're
not
driving
and
not
flying.
G
Okay,
hi
vice
mayor,
real,
really
quick.
I
want
to
ask
this:
is
for
the
the
the
consent
items
right.
G
Well,
anyway,
the
final
agenda,
one
thing
that
I
would
I
I
was
brought
up
if
we
could
have
where
this
is,
how
we're
supposed
to
behave-
and
it's
pretty
you
know
it's
not
bad.
We
do
need
that
santa
clara
and
I
think
a
couple
of
right
on
the
agenda
is
written
where
the
the
council
agrees
to.
I
recognize
every
email
that
comes
in.
G
I
don't
maybe
personally
beat
it
what
you
do
when
we
write
emails,
when
we
send
comments
when
we
send
faxes
when
we
do
this
stuff,
so
elisa
there's
some
guidance
that
I'm
I'm
still
under
the
the
impression
that
a
lot
of
that
it
goes
in
the
public
record
because
it
has
to.
But
it's
not
paid
attention
to.
G
It's
probably
me
that
does
that
conflating
one
time
it
didn't
happen,
and
I
tend
to
do
that
and
I
apologize
to
miss
davis,
because
her
staff
has
gotten
a
few
of
my
grumpy
groans
and
I'm
not
going
to
be
doing
that
anymore.
It's
not
appropriate.
I
apologize
ma'am,
so
what
I
really
would,
if
we
just
had
it
on
there,
it
says
I
do
read
the
emails
and
maybe
what's
the
best
way,
everybody
learns
different
everybody
reads:
different.
Is
it
emails?
Is
it
bullets?
Is
it
video?
What
is
it.
B
C
Yeah,
thank
you
vice
mayor,
so
regarding
8.1,
I
think
it
was
originally
scheduled
for
march
and
it
got
moved
up.
I
was
I
was
remembering
after
my
first
comments.
I
think
it
got
moved
up
to
february,
because
there
was
a
concern
about
over
being
over
scheduled
in
march.
Is
that
right,
lee.
A
C
Yeah-
and
this
item
is
one-
the
cannabis
equity
is
one-
that's
been
on
hold
for
quite
some
time,
so
I
I
would
rather
not
defer
it.
I'm
fine
with
deferring
3.3
to
march.
I
think
we,
I
think,
we're
all
sort
of
understanding
where,
where
we
are
on
the
roadmap,
we
get
a
lot
of
updates
about
that.
So
I'm
gonna,
I'm
gonna,
make
the
motion
to
to
accept
the
accept
the
agenda
with
the
ad
sheet
and
with
a
deferral
for
3.3
to
march.
B
So
I
have
a
motion
in
a
second:
oh
councilman,
boris
go
ahead.
H
Thank
you
vice
mayor,
I'm
I'm
just
wondering
I'm
sorry.
I
was
having
a
hard
time
hearing.
Did
we
talk
about
the
the
8.1
that's
connected
to
the
10.2.
B
B
Yeah,
so
we're
gonna.
The
motion
is
to
keep
that
in
on
the
agenda.
H
I
guess,
I'm
I'm
trying
to
figure
out
the
will
you
be
ready
to,
because
I
I
thought
I
heard
that
there
might
be
a
supplemental
in
the
works
as
a
response
maybe
to
to
to
that
decision.
Whatever
that
is,
can
you
talk
about
that
a
little
bit
more
lee,
because
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
we've
got
all
the
ducks
in
the
row.
D
Yes,
absolutely
so
our
intent.
Obviously,
since
this
was
last
heard
by
the
community
and
economic
development
committee
staff
has
continued
to
engage
with
the
community.
D
So
we
have
additional
community
input
that
we
tend
to
outline
in
a
supplemental
memo
for
the
council
and
I
believe
at
this
point
we
would
also
be
referring
planning
commission's
recommendation
and
any
other
discussion
that
came
up
through
that
with
the
supplemental
for
your
own
kind
of
knowledge
and
your
decision
making
progress
around
these.
A
D
H
Okay,
well,
that
sounds
good
to
me.
I
just
want
the
council
also
to
have
enough
time
to
to
be
able
to
take
the
information
be
thoughtful
with
it.
I
know
it's
been
some
time
in
the
works,
and
this
is
a
really
important
issue
for
me.
H
As
I
know
it
is
for
many
of
us,
so
I
want
to
make
sure
that
it's
all
lined
up,
and
so
I'm
glad
to
hear
that
in
case
in
case
we
need
to.
We
can
push
this
back
a
little
bit
because
I
rather
have
it
be
all
lined
up
and
ready
to
go
rather
than
then
we're
just
pulling
it
together,
because
we
need
to
move
it
forward.
So
I
appreciate
I
appreciate
that.
H
D
D
B
B
Okay.
The
next
item
is
meeting
schedules,
release
date
for
a
study
session
and
I
am
going
to
go
to
the
public
first
for
public
comments,
and
these
comments
are
specifically
to
release
the
date
for
a
study
session
on
february
14th.
B
So
tessa.
F
Yeah,
okay,
good,
thank
you
very
much
and
thank
you
for
the
good
blackboard
and
you
know
making
a
great
classroom
by
putting
those
dates
up
the
information
and
do
that
at
the
council.
Meeting
too.
I
don't
know
if
you
are,
but
please
do
that
anyway.
Basically,
the
release
date
for
the
study
session.
F
I
think
what
was
problematic
is
that
when
we
do
these
study
sessions
like
we
in
terms
of
our
charter
review
commission,
you
know
we're
having
to
create
a
study
session
and
you
you
said
that
you
know-
and
I
understand,
there's
a
lot
of
details
about
it,
and
so
you
needed
a
future
a
future
date
and-
and
I
think,
in
terms
of
you
know
the
what
do
we
call
it-
the
government
of
the
whole
and
all
the
people-
you
know
you
know,
remember
like
like,
like
paul
soto,
says
you
do
this
for
us
and
we're
the
ones
that
are,
you
know
is
supposed
to
be
involved
and
so
and
what
I'm
just
saying
is
the
breakdown
of
the
communication
of
these
study
sessions,
because
it
was
that
it
was
on
the
agenda.
F
I
mean
we,
you
know
we
finished
the
charter
review.
Commission,
you
know
back
a
lot
of
pressure.
You
got
to
do
it.
We
have
no
time
for
climate
crisis.
We
have
no
time
for
this
that
another,
because
we
have
to
finish
it.
I
mean
you
wanted
to
pull
the
whole
thing
because
of
time,
and
you
know,
and
and
now
here
we
are,
you
know
trying
to
make
a
study
session.
So
my
my
suggestion
is
that
we
we
talk
about
these
things
right
away,
so
people
can
calendarize
it.
F
The
people
can
calendarize
it
because
we're
not
in
your
email
list
to
remind
us
about
the
study
sessions
and
and
yet
they're
so
critical
for
in
you
know,
public
participation
and
this
critical
issues
of
our
charter
review
commission.
So
what
I
my
suggestion
is
that
we
have
these
dates
already
in
advance
and
as
soon
as
you
make
a
decision
to
make
a
study
session,
it's
publicly
knowledge
is
publicly
aware,
and
so
that's
that's
a
critical
issue
for
public
participation.
B
B
All
right,
it's
been
moved
and
seconded
tony
uranus.
I
E
Hi
claire
rickman,
here
I
wrote
about
four
letters:
I'm
working
on
an
evolving
process
that
you
know
I've
been
listing,
four
items
that
I
think
we
can
really
work
on
to
help
improve
the
public
meeting
process
and
good
luck.
How
we
can
work
on
that.
I
think
tony
and
the
city,
clerk's
staff
is
really
working
well
on
on
the
meeting
minutes
process
for
our
future
they're
trying
to
return
that
to
its
better
practices.
E
Thank
you
and
she's,
actually
they're
working
on
on
budgeting
their
own
time
for
the
council
agendas
that
appear
each
week
at
rules
and
open
government
on
wednesdays,
they're,
they're
doing
that
earlier,
like
pre-12
pm,
which
is
very
cool.
Thank
you.
E
But
to
get
this
stuff
down
is
an
important
first
step
and
I
want
to
continue
working
on
a
step
process,
a
better
understandings
and
better
practices,
open
practices,
the
consent,
calendar
language
needs
a
bit
few
more
words
in
it
to
make
it
more
clear
that
people
can
ask
actually
still
at
for
items
to
be
pulled
at
consent
time.
Why
not
make
it
official
and
and
just
offer
a
few
more
words
that
a
a
council
person
can
sponsor
pulling
an
item
if
necessary
and
also
about
the
public
meeting
process.
E
The
first
three
items
of
the
public
meeting
the
closed
session
report,
the
orders
of
the
day
and
the
city
manager's
report
never
allowed
public
comment
time.
A
few
simple
words
can
make
it
easy
to
understand
at
the
beginning
of
the
meeting
that
the
public
can
have
one
minute
of
public
comment
at
those
times.
Let's
work
on
these
issues,
if
you
can
thank
you.
B
F
Oh
blair
blair,
thank
you,
blair
beekman,
you
know
for
all
of
your
public
participation
and
it's
so
important,
and
just
really
you
know,
blair
and
and
paul
soto,
it's
so
valuable
to
have
other
community
members
participating
and
and
we're
really
getting
so
much
more
input.
You
know
I
I
say
that
in
these
crisis
times
that
we're
in
the
public's
voice
is
very
important,
because
we
have
to
put
our
best
minds
together
to
solve
this
problem
and
and
we're
not.
F
You
know,
that's
not
what's
happening
in
our
political
sphere,
because
money
is
corrupting
it,
and
so
it's
so
helpful
to
have
our
the
public
involved
that
doesn't
get
paid,
because
that's
where
you
get
the
truth
and
the
sign,
you
also
get
it
from
the
science.
The
truth.
So
in
terms.
A
F
I
was
so
proud
that
I
got
to
see
it
it's
in
my
it's
in
that
and
I
finally
figured
it
out
that
the
rules,
you
know,
there's
an
email
for
rules
and
I
can
get
a
letter
and
I
can
comment
on
it
and
that
was
fabulous,
and
so
thank
you.
I
wanted
to
thank
tony
for
all
the
good
work.
I
know
I
mentioned.
Oh,
we
should
fire
tony,
that's
because
we've
been
talking
about
that.
F
There
has
been
problems,
and
but
I
realized
that
she's
really
fixing
a
lot
of
the
problems,
and
you
know
really
appreciate
her
for
for
doing
that,
and
even
in
this
letter
I
I
felt
that
I
had
really
gotten
mad
at
ryan
smith
that
he
cancelled
my
my
appointment,
even
though
I
worked
on
setting
it
up
and
setting
the
zoom
and
doing
all
this,
and
they
said.
Oh,
I
never
got
it.
B
Next
is
boards
commissions
and
committees,
and
we
have
two
items
under
that
category
that
like
to
request
that
we
take
it
as
one
item
for
discussion
and
vote
and
I'm
going
to
go
to
the
public
first
and
I
don't
see
any
hands
raised
so
bring
it
back
to
the
committee.
Can
I
get
a
motion
for
items?
F,
a
and
f
b.
B
F
A
Tessa
the
items
on
the
on
the
consent
calendar
are
two
special
events.
One
is
a
special
events
for
the
berryessa
arts
festival
and
one
is
city
hall
lighting
display
for
african
american
history
month.
It
has
nothing
to
do
with
boards
and
commissions.
F
Okay,
fine,
fine,
okay!
So
the
thank
you.
Thank
you
tony
for
clarifying.
It
appreciate
that
and
so
basically
the
african-american.
F
We
need
to
have
more
issues,
my
my
girlfriend
who's
black,
because
she
looks
black
but
she's
mexican,
and
so
you
know
she
said
she's,
not
african
and
she's
an
indigenous
person
here
and-
and
so
how
are
we
she's
very
upset
about
all
the
bs
about
african,
this
and
african
that,
when
we're
not
doing
what
one
thing
that's
really
been
bothering
her
is
the
there's
a
community
center,
a
senior
center
in
our
neighborhood
on
in
the
garden
alameda?
That's
a
housing
and
urban
development.
F
I
F
I
know,
but
it's
all
about
the
african
month
and
all
that
it's
it's
related
chappie
and
the
thing
is,
is
that
there
is
no
african
people
in
this
there's
all
asians-
that
don't
speak
english
and
don't
even
vote
and
she's
very
upset
about
that
and
she's
also
upset
about
what's
happening
at
615
stockton
avenue,
and
these
are
issues.
This
is
her
voice
and
because
she
wants
housing,
she
wants
senior
housing
and
she
can't
get
into
that.
B
E
Hi
clay
beekman
here
to
try
to
speak
to
the
african-american
history
month
and
and
light
lighting
ceremony
for
for
the
city
hall.
I
guess
to
offer
a
bit
of
history.
I
I've
been
incredibly
impressed
by
the
work
of
rosa
parks
and
their
work
at
the
birmingham
bus
boycott
or
of
of
the
birmingham
plus
boycott
time
and
how
a
community
they
work
together
to
still
function
as
a
community,
but
to
make
a
very
important
statement
as
a
community.
E
What
can
be
our
future-
and
I
think
it
was
a
really
important
way
to
work,
and
I
think
it
gave
important
lessons
for
ourselves
how
we
can
think
of
things
into
our
future,
how
we
can
work
better
in
our
future,
which
is
what
the
african
american
community
can
do
for
a
lot
with
our
issues
from
their
past
history.
It's
from
their
past
history.
Vice
mayor
jones,.
B
Yeah
I
hear
you
there
it's
specific
to
the
lighting.
E
Okay,
you're
tired
of
me
today,
but
I'll
also
I'll
quickly
conclude
from
this
from
this
history
that
I
think
we
can
learn
some
incredibly
decent,
peaceful,
important
lessons
to
move
us
into
a
collective
good
future
for
all
of
us.
Good
luck!
How
we
can
do
that
and
consider
it
from
from
the
good
ideas
of
african-american
history
month.
B
B
Okay:
next
item
is
the
rainbow
chamber
membership.
It's
a
memo
from
councilmember
foley
gonna
go
to
the
public
first
tessa.
I'm
gonna
speak
specifically
to
this
item.
F
Yeah,
okay,
good
rainbow
chamber
membership,
I'm
sure
it
has
to
do
with
lgbtqi,
correct
right
and
so
yeah.
It
is
okay,
good,
I'm
63,
but
I'm
not
that
dumb.
I
guess
okay
good!
So
basically,
you
know
the
issue
is
that
we
have
got
to
start
focusing
on
our
survival
as
a
species
and
that
equity.
Even
though
we're
you
know
here,
it
is
rainbow
chamber
membership.
F
You
know
and
we're
trying
to
include
and
float
all
the
boats
and
everything
like
that,
and
even
when
we
talk
about
the
green
new
deal,
there's
a
lot
of
equity
issues.
But
when
we're
what
we're
dealing
with
in
an
age
of
chaos
is
that
we
have
to
that.
We
are
going
into
and
you
know,
because
we
are
going
to
10
degrees
c,
I
mean
we're,
not
stopping
our
fossil
fuel
use
and
it's
just
going
up
and
and
so.
B
B
F
We're,
I
know
we're
talking
about
rainbow
chamber
membership
and
you
talk
a
lot
about
equity.
We
talk
a
lot
about
equity
in
our
community
and
we're
not
talking
about
the
issues
of
getting
us
to
zero
fossil
fuel
use
that
is
going
to
save
us
as
a
species,
along
with
all
the
other
species
that
are
going
extinct.
B
F
Whatever
she's
doing
so,
okay,
I'm
saying
that
we,
you
know
yes,
we're
we're
looking
at
the
rainbow
chamber
membership
and
we're
looking
at
equity
issues
a
lot
and
we
have
to
start.
You
know
when
you
have
an
emergency,
you
have
to
start
focusing
on
that
completely
that's
what
it
is
in
the
f
when
their
house
is
on
fire.
B
I
B
All
right,
it's
been
moved
and
seconded
tony
arenas.
B
I
Good
afternoon
councilmembers
joe
royce
city
otter,
I'm
here
with
our
monthly
report
of
activities
for
january.
In
january,
we
issued
one
audit
related
commission
technology,
and
we
have
a
number
of
projects
underway,
which
is
the
balance
of
our
workload.
Is
the
attachment
was
targeted
for
some
of
our
upcamping
projects?
You
want
to
note
there
was
a
project
added
to
our
work
plan
last
night
as
part
of
the
council
actions
related
to
the
committee
force
plan,
and
that
is
not
represented
in
the
in
this
memo,
but
we'll
have
it
for
next
month.
E
Hi
blair
here
you
know,
I
think
I
hope
I'm
getting
used
to
saying
that
you
know
there's
many
items
on
the
monthly
audit
auditor's
report
that
he
brings
here.
That
I
feel
can
be
commented
on
by
the
public
and
it's
an
interesting
way
for
the
public
to
be
involved
with
the
process
and
and
be
more
committed
to
more
familiarize
yourselves
with
the
process.
There's
clean
energy
issues,
worker
theft
issues.
E
You
know,
green
tree
management
issues,
a
whole
bunch
of
issues,
equity,
pledge
that
a
person
can
speak
on
that
that
the
auditor
is
working
on
at
this
time.
So
to
mention
a
few
things
about
the
tree
report
last
night
and
that
you
will
still
be
working
on
on
tree
issues.
E
Just
to
reiterate
what
I
said
yesterday,
there
wasn't
much
talk
about
what
we
could
be
expecting
in
2023
and
24.
and
I
think
we're
at
a
time
we
have
to
start
offering
some
open
honest
plans,
what
to
expect
of
ourselves
as
a
city
government
community
by
2023
and
24..
E
So
I
can
start
to
and
we
can,
as
a
community
start
to
judge
and
navigate
how
we
can
work
and
think
and
act
and
feel-
and
you
know
I-
I
know
it's
a
difficult
process
to
do
that,
but
I
think
you
need
to
take
those
important
steps
to
make
honest
efforts.
E
What
can
we
expect
in
the
next
few
years,
and
and
for
that
to
show
up
on
on
upcoming,
memos
and
budget
reports
that
I
wonder
if
the
three
commission
reports
specifically
tried
to
work
around
and
not
want
to
talk
about
good
luck,
how
to
better
do
that
in
our
future.
In
this
coming
year,
it's
an
important
tool
for
as
a
community
health
process
as
community
public
safety,
and
I
hope
you
can
learn
to
use
it
well.
E
F
Thank
you,
oh
good,
thank
you
so
much
blaire
for
helping
with
this
again
you're
doing
an
amazing
job.
Thank
you
and
I
I
the
only
thing
for
joe
when
he
talks.
He
talks
very
quickly.
It's
hard
to
understand,
and
thankfully
there
was
a
a
you
know
transcript,
but
you
know
if
you
could
articulate
slower,
that'd
be
good
joe,
and
so
basically
he
didn't
say
much
either
so
thankful
for
blair
for
saying
that
there
was
a
lot
in
the
report
that
wasn't
gone
over
and
the
equity.
F
Well,
what
was
it
he
was
talking
about
sustainability
and
trees,
and
so
what
we're
talking
about
is
nature
and
how
we
don't
have
enough
nature
here
in
san
jose,
and
we
don't
I
mean
san
jose-
has
been
called
the
when
I
first
got
here.
I
mean
I'm
from
new
york
city
and
you
know
when
I
first
came
to
california
in
20.
Whatever,
when
I
was
in
1979,
I
was
almost
21.
F
You
know
they
always
talked
about
san
jose
as
the
the
armpit
of
the
bay
area,
because
I
was
living
in
palo
alto
in
los
altos
and
all
the
beautiful
places,
and
so
you
know
we
hardly
ever
came
down
to
san
jose
until
my
husband
and
I
bought
property
or
moved
here
to
rent
and
then
bought
property.
But
you
know
that
that
that's
an
ugly
hair,
that's
an
ugly
legacy.
You
know
to
be
the
armpit
of
the
the
bay
area
and
I
think
it's
all
about
commerce.
B
F
Important
okay,
I
know
that
the
activity
the
monthly
report
is
about
sustainability
and
about
trees
and
about
green
energy
and
the
green
energy
future
that
we
need
to
go
to
is
really
about
walking
and
biking.
Those
are
the
people
that
we
want
to
save
and
we're
not
doing
it
we're
doing
such
a
terrible
job
of
saving
the
bikers
and
the
walkers.
We
are
not
putting
enough
energy
into
that
and
those
are
the
people
that
we
want
to
save,
because
those
are
the
fossil
fuel
free
people
and
the
ones
that
are
burning.
B
I
B
B
A
B
On
to
a
nitrous
oxide
ordinance
presented
by
councilmember
davis,
I
know
lee
you
have
some
additional
input
on
that
item.
D
Yes,
thank
you.
Chair
staff
would
like
to
request
the
deferral
of
this
item
for
one
week,
so
that
can
staffs
can
proper,
properly
analyze
the
recommendation
and
come
forward
with
an
early
consideration
form.
I
know
that
a
lot
of
the
policy
work
in
the
ordinance
is
fairly
straightforward
in
green
light,
but
there's
some
interdepartmental
work
that
we'd
like
to
do
to
better
explain
that
and
explore
it
over
the
next
week.
So
we'd
ask
for
a
one
week:
referral.
B
Okay,
if
we
were
gonna
defer
it,
then
we
weren't
gonna
have
a
discussion
on
it.
But
if
your
desire
is
to
have
a
discussion,
then
I
will
take
public
comments,
so
tessa.
F
Well,
I
was
you
know
interesting.
I
was
going
to
ask
my
google,
but
oh,
are
you
there
you
hear
me,
you
hear
it.
Yes,.
B
F
Okay,
good
so
yeah,
I
don't
know
there,
it
is
yeah.
I
was
just
nitrous
oxide
ordinance,
you
know,
I
I
don't
know
exactly
what
nitrous
oxide,
except
you
know.
I
think
it's
used
in
dentist,
dentistry
and
you
get
high
from
nitrous
oxide.
Maybe
there's
a
drug
problem,
and
you
know
that's
definitely
something
my
son
has
been
working
on
is
how
we're
really
addressing
drug
use,
he's
21
and
not
that
he's
using
drugs,
though
he
has.
F
You
know
it's
more
a
matter
of
it's
very
rampant
in
our
community
drug
use,
and
so
how
do
we,
you
know,
deal
with
creating
safety
in
regards
to
providing
alternatives,
to
drug
use
or
or
not
using
more
powerful
drugs
that
are
too
powerful
and
can
really
hurt
people
and
that
we
need
to
you
know,
focus
on
on
drugs
that
aren't
that
way.
I
guess
you
can
call
it
that
way.
F
Marijuana,
maybe
because
it
grows
naturally,
and
so
that
we
you
know
having
these
artificial
drug
things
are
the
ones
that
you
know
can
be
problematic
to
us.
Give
us
too
much,
you
know
mental
stimulation
or
insights,
or
you
know
just
too
much
energy
kundalini
as
they
call
it
in
yoga.
F
You
know
rising
of
that
to
be
able
to
have
such
insights
and
that
you
know
that's
why
drugs
are
in
general,
not
a
good
idea,
because
it
raises
that
you
know
energy
much
more
and
it's
hard
to
handle,
and
so
how
do
we
deal
as
a
community
to
you
know?
Use
our
you
know,
I
guess
in
this
nitrous
oxide
ordinance
that
might
be
being
abused
and
even
even
with
marijuana.
You
know
it
needs
to
be.
F
I
always
you
know
said
is
that
you
know
back
to
the
ancient
ways
the
native
americans
would
use
marijuana,
but
it
was
more
communal
because
it
was
a
guided.
You
know
it
was.
You
know
we
need
more
and
that
that's
what
you
know.
Young
people
need
is
more
adult
adult
involvement
in
their
lives
for
their
moral
development
and
even
in
any
way
using
any
kind
of
psychotropic
drug.
So
that's
important
to
have
more.
B
All
right,
that's
the
end
of
public
comments.
Councilmember
davis.
C
Thank
you.
I
I
just
want
to
advocate
for
closing
this
loophole
in
the
in
the
law
that
allows
nitrous
oxide
to
be
sold
in
in
vape
and
smoke
shops.
I
I
appreciate
that
the
staff
needs
another
week
to
work
out
some
of
the
details
and
that
there
it
sounds
like
they're
favorable
for
for
creating
this
ordinance.
It's
really.
I
see
this
as
an
extension
of
our
work
on
banning
flavored
products.
Flavored
nicotine
products.
C
This
is
another
inhalant
that
is
being
sold
in
vape
and
smoke
shops
when
really
it's
for
medical
and
dental
use
and
for
whipped
cream
containers,
and
I
don't
think
there
are
any
chefs
going
to
vape
and
smoke
shops
to
refill
their
whipped
cream
canisters.
So
this
is
something
that
that
we
just
we
just
need
to
close
the
close
the
loophole
and
and
take
care
of
it
and
hopefully
keep
these
inhalants
out
of
the
hands
of
our
kids.
B
Thank
you,
councilmember
davis
and
I
don't
think
I'll
ever
think
of
whipped
cream
the
same
ever
again.
So
we
have
a
motion
and
can
we
get
a
second.
I
B
I
So
I
just
wanted
to
ask
lee-
I
guess
in
terms
of
the
order
of
things
you
prefer
to
do,
that
additional
analysis
before
rules
addresses
it,
even
though
we
can
move
it
forward
today
and
then
still
have
that
analysis
done
before
council
hears
it.
D
Yeah,
I
mean,
I
think,
there's
two
parts
of
that
recommendation:
there's
the
actual
policy
and
kind
of
the
ordinance
work
which
you
know
nora,
has
looked
at
and
is
fairly
straightforward.
So
council
could
do
that.
There's
other
parts
of
that
recommendation,
around
enforcement
and
so
as
opposed
to
coming
forward
this
week.
D
You
know
these
things
kind
of
post
on
friday
and
I
didn't
want
the
team
to
work
through
the
weekend
on
it,
but
because
this
is
kind
of
cross-departmental-
and
we
often
with
these
proposals-
do
try
and
get
to
a
green
light.
Looking
at
existing
resources
and
kind
of
where
gaps
are.
If
we
were
to
address
that
implementation
and
so
trying
to
move
things
forward,
you
know
in
a
positive
way,
just
required
a
little
bit
more
analysis
and.
I
Then
that's
fine,
I
just
I'm
very
supportive
of
this,
and
you
might
know
I
don't
know
who
knows,
but
we,
our
office
wrote
a
memo
and
the
exact
same
thing
that
we
were
going
to
submit
for
next
week's
rules,
but
because
we
submitted
for
an
earliest
consideration
for
him.
I
guess
we
were.
I
J
B
A
B
F
Oh
okay,
yeah.
Thank
you.
Well,
the
only
suggestion
I've
been
making
one
of
the
suggestions
in
the
rules
and
open
government
work
plan
as
it
comes
to
the
community
and
it's
don't
forget
its
rules
and
open
government
and
for
the
whole
and
for
the
community-
and
you
know
you
know,
there's
been
a
lot
of
issues
about
open
government
and
you
know
that
the
city
of
san
jose
has
been
put
up
against
to
improve,
and
I
I
would
say
that
that
reading
the
agenda
is
is
important.
F
I
think,
reading
the
agenda
out
loud
instead
of
saying
page
one
page,
two
page
three,
you
know
and
it's
that
doesn't
help
us.
What
about
blind
people?
Oh
yeah
right,
blind
people,
and-
and
so
you
know
that
that's
the
thing
that
needs
to
be
improved
to
make
it
more
for
the
whole,
and
I
know
that
other
I
think
it's
the
county
does
it.
They
read
it.
F
They
just
read
it
out
loud
and
and
then
you
have
an
idea
of
what's
going
on
if
you're
just
listening,
because
a
lot
of
us
listen
so
and-
and
you
know
it
takes
a
lot
of
effort
to
you-
know,
sit
down
and
read
things
you
know,
so
it
makes
it
more
available
that
we
can.
You
know
co-process
and
listen
to
the
agenda.
So
that's
my
suggestion
for
all
the
work
plans
that
come
up
into
rules
and
open
government
and
with
45
seconds
left
rule
is
an
open
government
work
plan.
F
I
I
you
know,
I
thought
that
was
interesting.
What
councilman
cohen
was
saying
because
we've
been
trying,
you
know,
I
guess,
there's
like
this
fast
tracking
that
could
go
through
rules
and
that's
something
I
haven't
learned
about.
You
know
because
we've
been
trying
to
pass
the
banning
the
gas
leaf
blower
for
years.
We've
been
working
on
that
and
you
know
it's
we've
gone
through.
F
You
know
ordinance
setting,
but
there
is
something
where
there's
this
rules
and
open
government
where
you
can
come
and
just
fast
track
it
and
I've
seen
that
with
sergio
amenis
trying
to
deal
with
his
shopping
carts.
He's
at
the
rules
and
how
do
we
move
it
for
how
move
things
forward
faster?
So
I
think
those
protocols
need
to
be
open
to
the
public
to
understand
better.
E
Hi,
thank
you,
blair,
beekman,
here,
to
try
to
quickly
offer
a
reminder,
a
thank
you
again
to
the
work
of
tony
tabor
and
the
city
clerk
staff,
who
are
getting
it
together
on
how
to
reintroduce
the
meeting
minutes
process
and
to
write
out
good
meeting
minutes
for
rules
in
open
government
and
and
city
government
process.
E
Yeah.
Good
luck!
How
we
can
continue
to
build
on
that
and
a
reminder
that
it's
very
nice
that
they're
bringing
the
rules.
The
city
council
agendas
to
rules
every
wednesday
before
noon.
If
they
can
learn
to
budget
their
time
to
do
that
before
noon
consistently,
it
would
just
be
a
really
nice
service
to
be
able
to
do
that
and
man,
and
they
deserve
a
tremendous
thanks
for
making
that
extra
effort.
And
it's
from
there
I
know
paul
and
tessa
and
others
have
spoken.
E
They
would
like
prefer
the
the
agendas
to
be
on
a
monday
or
tuesday
on
the
rules
agenda.
But
in
my
understanding
it
can
be
a
bit
difficult
to
there's
a
lot
of
things
to
navigate
and
to
get
items
onto
rules
and
changes
are
made
in
the
last
minute,
like
after
council
meetings.
For
instance,
so
the
fact
that
you're
doing
it
before
noon
is
an
incredibly
nice
step
that
you're
taking
and
thank
you
for
those
efforts.
E
E
I
think
we
should
be
doing
the
open
public
meeting
process
open
government
meeting
process
as
a
as
a
learning
process
and
it's
a
process
where
community
gathers
and
and
learns
how
to
practice
government
better
and
and
what
can
be
our
good
practices
based
on
education
and
knowledge
and
and
sharing,
and
it
can
be
a
cooperative
experience
and
not
one
big.
G
G
Mr
jones,
is
that
correct?
Pretty
close?
Yes,
yes,
okay!
Well,
I
I
I
think
it's
great
that
you're
doing
this.
One
of
the
amended
rules
that
I
would
like
to
see
is
to
help
you
out.
G
What
I
was
looking
through
is
that
in
that
there's
an
adaptability
to
just
add
to
or
take
from
a
work
plan
as
far
as
like,
because
the
city's
already
stretched,
maybe
some
way
for
us
to
understand
as
a
public
just
how
much
city
staff
is
stressed,
trying
to
do
this
or
that
maybe
like
a
pie
chart,
so
we
can
see.
This
is
how
much
staff
takes
doing
this
and
this
because
most
of
the
stuff
that
are
done
in
these
work
plans
are
outside
of
the
public
purview.
So
it's
like!
Oh
well,
you
know.
G
All
I
want
to
see
is
the
city
staff
not
put
in
a
situation
where
they
work
and
do
something
that
isn't.
I
just
think.
Sometimes
the
city
staff
gets
a
short
end
of
the
stick,
and
I
want
to
try
to
find
some
way
for
that
not
to
happen
so
the
real
hard
work
they
do
is
actually
recognized
in
a
tangible
way.
G
I
know
everybody
tries
that,
but
I
don't
think
us
public
sometimes
really
realize
that
I
don't
know
if
that
makes
any
sense,
but
I'd
like
to
see
that
as
part
of
the
work
plan
and
rules
and
open
government
really
does
have
that
opportunity,
because
it's
a
more
intimate
kind
of
intersection.
So
thank
you
back,
I'm
done.
Thank
you,
sir.
J
Yes,
paul
from
horseshoe
one
thing
I'd
like
to
draw
attention
to
is
is
there's
a
level
of
sincerity
and
and
authenticity
that
brian
has
brought
from
the
last
time
that
I
had
checked
him
on
something,
and
I
want
to
let
him
know
that
I
appreciate
it
and
that
I
acknowledge
it
with
respect
to
rules
and
amending
it.
J
I
agree
that
the
goal
is
not
efficiency
and
the
goal
is
not
self
protection,
and
I
think
when
we
get
into
the
areas
where
there
are
decisions
that
are
being
made
on
on
your
end,
that
is
not
necessarily
consistent
with
democracy
or
the
protection
of
the
people
or
doing
the
people's
business,
but
doing
the
city's
business.
J
J
Okay,
this
is
a
step
in
a
direction,
but
there's
no
communication,
though
this
is
the
way
that
you
communicate
is
by
putting
something
on
the
agenda,
and
then
we
have
to
kind
of,
like
you
know,
decipher
and
and
assume
you
know
certain
things.
You
know
last
night's
meeting
that
was
a
joke.
There
was
a
joke.
What
was
being
done
with
the
land
issues
I
mean
it
was
just.
It
was
a
farce.
Okay,
those
things
have
to
be
challenged.
They
have
to
be
challenged
in
court
because
it's
not
going
to
happen
here.
J
J
B
All
right
that
is
it
for
public
comments,
bringing
it
back
to
the
committee,
councilmember
cohen,.
I
J,
just
a
quick
question
for
you
chair:
what
can
we
need
to
just
help
me
understand?
What's
changed
on
the
work
plan,
that's
being
adopted
versus
what
was
already
in
the
workplace.
B
Yes,
actually,
I'm
gonna
to
ask
tony
to
sure
question,
because
she
can
answer
it
much
better
than
I
can
hi.
A
C
B
All
right,
it's
been
moved
and
seconded
don't
see
their
hands
raised.
Tony.
B
All
right
on
to
open
forum,
so
first
speaker
is
blair.
E
All
right,
thank
you.
Thank
you
for
the
meeting
today
we're
in
the
last
year
of
the
ricardo
administration
and
several
many
elected
officials.
I
hope
the
mayor
is
interested
in
the
ideas
of
how
to
further
the
the
democratic
process
and
what
can
be
better
and
better
open
public
practices.
E
I
really
hope
he
lays
the
groundwork
for
that
in
our
future.
What
can
be
our
future
of
more
open
democratic
practices
and
and
what
can
be
a
more
academic
process
of
government,
how
we
practice
government
and
good
luck
in
those
efforts?
I
wrote
a
speech
from
last
night.
I
had
a
quick
few
words
that
I
have
to
now
run
around
to
try
to
find
that
I
cannot
find
here.
E
It
is
as
as
dirty
fossil
fuels
and
their
economy
will
be
needed
for
only
a
short
amount
of
time
in
the
event
of
any
future
barrier
natural
disasters,
many
people
are
figuring
out
good,
intelligent
ways
to
continually
build
at
this
time
renewable
energy
ideas
and
its
local
procurement
process.
As
it
is
this
idealistic
good
thinking
and
economy
that
will
be
much
needed
in
how
to
return
to
our
regular
good
practices.
In
the
event
of
any
future
barrier
natural
disasters,
we
need
fossil
fuels
in
the
time
of
natural
disaster,
but
not
much
else.
E
Let's
really
considering
consider
the
good
ideals
of
renewable
ideas
and
real
real
renewable
ideas
like
solar
and
good
luck
in
that
work,
I
hope
we
can
continue
to
make
clear
that
it
may
take
into
the
early
2040s
or
even
2050s,
for
california
high-speed
rail
to
reach
san
jose
good
luck
on
an
open
process
to
be
able
to
do
that,
and
good
luck
on
on
chappie
jones
and
myself
being
able
to
further
discuss
african-american
history
issues.
Thank
you.
A
G
First
of
all,
your
jobs
are
not
har
are
not
sorry,
I
think
about
your
jobs
are
very
hard.
Mr
jones
you've
always
been
respectful
to
people,
and
everybody
else
has
to
but
I've
sort
of
developed
a
report
with
you
that
I've
been
a
miss
when
you,
when
you
turn
out-
and
so
I
rarely
say
this
but
I'd
like
to
see
you
build
a
run
again
and
that's
because
he
really
did
help
out
the
people
at
the
at
the
park
for
one
who
really
pushed
hard
for
that
was
good.
G
I
I'm
just
gonna
throw
out
an
idea
here.
We
really
energy
is
a
big
deal
and
california
is
trying
hard,
but
we
all
know
that
the
rain
problem,
the
lack
of
rain,
is
caused
by
climate
change
and
one
of
the
biggest
contributors
to
climate
change
is
fossil
fuels
and
since
it's
hard
to
breathe
without
oxygen,
and
that
we
all,
like
carl
sagan
says,
are
on
this
pale
blue
dot
together,
we
don't
really
have
any
choice.
G
Now
I
said
I
don't
have
any
children,
and
but
I
want
to
see
children
do
better
than
we
do.
I
want
to
see
us
blossom
and
one
little
story.
G
I
came
back
down
meridian
where
that
young
man
was
staying
up
under
the
bridge
and
they
had
cleaned
the
area
I'd
requested,
but
they
it
appeared
that
they
left
the
items
that
he
uses
to
sleep
there
and
that's
not
the
best,
but
it
shows
how
the
city
tries
to
meet
the
needs
of
everybody,
and
that
cannot
be
easy
when
there's
clangery
back
in
the
you
know
back
and
forth.
So
I
really
do
appreciate
that
and
I
thank
city
staff.
I
thank
all
of
you.
I
really
do
mean
that,
and
it
means
a
lot.
G
K
Good
afternoon,
first
off,
I
would
like
to
say
thank
you
to
council
member
corrales
for
today's
wonderful
ribbon
cutting
ceremony
at
lot
e.
This
is
very
exciting.
I
wish
it
was
open
now,
but
we
have
to
wait
probably
six
to
eight
months,
but
that's
okay,
I'm
very
excited
about
it.
So
thank
you,
raul
for
your
efforts
on
that.
K
Secondly,
I
just
came
from
the
motel
where
the
oh,
some
component
apple,
are
staying.
They
only
have
a
few
more
months
and
they're
not
getting
help.
I
I'd
like
somebody
to
look
into
where
the
money
has
gone
from
apple
folks
were
promised
vehicles
fixed
home
first
hasn't
vehicle
registration,
home
first
haven't
hasn't
so
I'd
like
somebody
to
look
into
that,
there's
so
much
bad
things
going
on
over
there.
It's
a
travesty
and
you
all
think
that
home
first
is
going
to
help
the
folks
at
spring
and
taylor.
K
It's
not
going
to
happen.
It's
not
going
to
happen.
They
get
millions
of
dollars
and
they're
not
doing
their
job.
I'm
sorry.
I've
said
this
for
years
nobody
is
holding
them
accountable,
but
I'm
very
sad
about
what's
going
on
at
the
motel.
K
I
don't
know
where
folks
are
gonna
go
and
I'm
hoping
that
councilman
cohen
will
look
into
this
and
check
in
with
apple.
There
are
vacancies
there.
Why
can't
other
unhoused
people
go
there
to
live
or
stay?
You
know
I
mean
I
don't
know
I
just
I
don't
get
it
there's
only
20
people
and
there
is
room.
So
please
somebody
take
look
into
this
and
again
well.
Thank
you
very
much
for
ribbon
cutting.
F
Okay,
good,
thank
you.
Thank
you,
gail
and
osmer.
Thank
you
for
putting
your
last
name
and
your
middle
name.
We
love
it
because
we
like
we
need
to
know
who
each
other
is.
Ideally,
we
should
put
our
emails,
so
we
can
communicate
and
help
each
other,
because
that
that
that
was
one
thing
brian
who
I
don't
know.
F
You
know
we're
physically
together,
but
there's
so
much
division
going
on
and
you
know
basically,
the
divisions
come
from
our
thinking
about
phantasm,
which
are
politics,
religion
and
economics,
that
those
are
phantasms,
they're
abstractions
and
the
reality
is
what
we're
dealing
with
the
reality,
which
is
the
science
is
what's
what's
really
going
on
in
terms
of
our
fossil
fuel,
use
the
amount
the
the
level
of
fossil
fuel
use.
We
have
and
and
look
what's
happening
today.
F
It's
85
in
los
angeles,
it's
75
here
today
and
it's
spring
already
and,
and
my
husband
has
always
said,
as
a
biologist
and
a
climate
scientists
that
los
angeles
is
going
to
draw.
You
know
the
whole
southwest
is
going
to
be
uninhabitable,
and
this
is
the
again
the
climate
refugees
coming
right
here.
There's
no
blockage
for
them
to
come
up
to
our
to
san
jose,
where
we
have
the
sweet
spot
and
that's
where
we
have
to
be
dealing
with
our
housing
and
our
food
security
that
we're
not
dealing
with.
F
And
my
my
son
is
planning
on
running
for
mayor
and
the
difference
that
marshall
woodman
see
21
as
a
as
a
gen
z
is
is
about.
That
is
that
he
says
that,
first
of
all,
I'm
his
co-chair
of
his
campaign.
That
was
good.
His
mother
he's
moved
home
and
the
best
thing
is
he's
going
to
have
his
father.
Who
is
the
climate
scientist
and
the
biologist
be
his?
You
know,
be
the
advisor
his
advisor
and
that's
the
change.
That's
the
change
we
need
is
to
be
advised.
A
All
right,
paul.
J
Yes,
paul
soto
from
the
horseshoe.
I
look
forward
to
that
tessa.
I
look
forward
to
having
your
husband
have
a
platform
in
the
city.
I
was
able
to
be
to
listen
and
to
learn
just
how
much
the
breadth
of
his
knowledge
and
its
practical
applications
as
within
the
discussions
of
climate
change.
So
I
welcome
that.
You
know
we're.
There's,
there's
two
types
of
there's
a
there's,
a
power
dynamic
here
in
and
and
it's
it's
very,
very
difficult
to
bridge
that
power
dynamic.
J
It's
just
not
your
privity
information
that
we
do
not
have
you
extract
power
from
other
people
that
have
power
and
they
leverage
that
power
within
the
context
of
these
agenda
items,
and
that
is
just
a
fact,
and
I
don't
expect
you
to
admit,
I
don't
expect
you
to
say
it
out
loud.
I
don't
expect
the
city
to
exercise
that
degree
of
humility,
because
if
it
could,
it
would
have
already
done
it
by
now.
Okay,
but
it
doesn't
have
the
capacity
for
that
degree
of
humility.
J
You
know
the
the
the
the
the
mexican
experience
in
the
way
that
it
expressed
itself
through
the
chicano
culture.
Okay
is
a
very
unique,
it's
probably
one
of
the
most
unique
experiences
here
in
the
united
states
and
the
reason
why
is
because
it's
having
he
was
born
in
the
context
of
the
country
of
his
origin,
where
he
was
labeled,
an
immigrant
where
he
was
labeled
a
foreigner
where
the
language
that
he
spoke
was
foreign.
