Hi
blair
beekman
here
happy
end
of
the
month
to
everyone.
I
think
I
wanted
to
a
few
items
that
can
be
listed
on
this.
We're
headed
you
know
towards
towards
june,
and
that
will
be
a
pretty
intense
time
for
ourselves
and
how
to
address
issues
that
can
relate
to
the
state
of
california
and
that
will
include
budget
issues.
So
good
luck
on
climate
community
planning
ideas,
grant
application
ideas,
and
that's
what's
that?
That's
item
2.17,
there's
a
couple
other
items
that
I
was
interested
in.
E
E
I
I
you
know,
it's
imagine
how
we
were
talking
about
these
things
10
years
ago
and
how
we
really
tried
to
downplay
its
concepts
of
being
military
equipment,
and
we
were
in
a
war
situation,
and
so
we
tried
to
downplay
everything
now
we're
just
able
able
to
label
things
as
they
are
and
what
they
are.
And
you
know
we
are
using
military
equipment
to
deal
with
issues
and
we
can
now
label
these
things
and
and
that's
it's
an
important
process
to
learn
and
how
we
can.
E
A
F
Okay,
hi.
Thank
you.
Yes,
jill
berger
is
here.
You
know,
I'm
not
exactly.
I
have
to
admit,
I'm
not
exactly
sure
how
this
works
at
the
rules
meeting.
I've
tried
to
learn
through
just
being
here,
but
if
my
understanding
is
right
that
I
can
comment
on
this
agenda
to
be
heard,
I
guess
that's
what
we're
doing
so.
I
do
have
one
concern
in
that
there's
something
in
the
consent
calendar
that
is
for
adding
some
hiring
or
changing
the
pay
structure,
I
believe,
or
having
some
incentives
for
the
animal
care.
F
I
just
lost
it.
It's
two
point
something
anyway,
it's
on
consent
calendar
and
I
I
really
think
you're
gonna
get
a
lot
of
animal
people
who
are
gonna
want
to
come
out
and
speak,
and
I
know
you've
heard,
and
you
know
what
needs
to
be
done
and
all
that,
but
it
is
really
important
that
I
think
that
you
might
want
to
have
it
on
the
regular
council.
Excuse
me
on
the
agenda,
because
it
will
also
give
these
people
an
opportunity
to
comment
on
maybe
ideas
for
improvements
that
even
might
be
slightly
adjusted.
F
I'm
just
concerned
that
we've
lost
our
way
with
the
public
on
this
whole
idea
of
what
the
state
law
is.
I've
mentioned
this
before
in
aligning
our
zoning
with
our
general
plan.
Land
use
designations.
It
makes
me
feel
so
sane
and
I'm
so
grateful
to
the
state
for
doing
this,
because
I
always
thought
it
was
completely
illogical
and
terribly
unfair
to
the
public
to
have
to
navigate
and
understand
this,
let
alone
property
owners.
But
it's
just
so
many
items
we
would
never
be
able
to.
F
B
C
E
E
Aren't
rates?
Rent
increases
capped
at
three
point
three
to
five
percent.
That
was
an
interesting
question
asked
I
think,
oakland's
dealing
with
the
same
issues.
Their
rent
control
issues
are
allowing
themselves
at
least
a
six
to
seven
to
eight
percent
increase
right
now
and
it's
legal,
I
thought
there
was
checks
in
san
jose
that
made
sure
that
we
were
only
to
have.
It
has
to
be
only
a
three
to
five
percent
raise
and
that
cost
of
living
index
can't
play
a
factor
in
in
that
decision.
E
Making
this
these
are
a
cost
of
living
index
numbers
that
that
goes
into
the
oakland
figuring,
that
I
thought
san
jose,
can't
fully
use,
and
so
I'm
interested
in
this
item
and
it's
a
cheap
system-
and
I
think
we
really
have
to
you
know
we
worked
so
hard
to
fight
off
inflation
in
the
past
five
years
before
kovid.
Now
that
we're
a
time
of
war
and
all
this
covets
stuff
we
just
want
to
give
in
to
inflation,
and
I
wish
we
didn't
just
drop
ourselves
and
do
that.
E
I
I
think
we
still
need
to
fight
for
things.
I
think
we
still
need
to
fight
for
the
ideas
of
sustainability
and
positive
community
living
that
we
were
talking
about
before
kobed
and
we
were
trying
to
address
and
prepare
for,
and
you
know
we're
not
doing
that
now
and
we
got
to
learn
to
keep
practicing
those
things.
So
I
thank
you
so
much
in
your
work
about
around
prepared
natural
disaster
preparedness
issues
and
what
that
can
help
the
community
prepare
for,
and
good
luck
in
more
dumpster
day
stuff.
Thanks
a
lot
jill
borders.
F
Hi,
thank
you.
I
wanted
to
comment
on
brian
schmidt's
letter
regarding
the
breeze
of
innovation.
If
there
is
any
chance
at
all
that
this
will
not
be
built,
I
wholeheartedly
suggest
that
we
try
to
back
out
of
this.
I
I
know
there
are
some
funding
issues
and
things
of
that
nature,
but
I
was
opposed
from
this
and
have
made
many
comments
from
the
start.
It
has
a
lot
to
do
with
the
light
pollution.
But,
to
be
honest,
it's
you
know
wildlife
and
light
pollution.
F
It's
the
birds,
mainly
I'm
concerned
with,
and
also
it's
just
really
really
feels
like
such
the
wrong
tone.
Right
now,
it's
in
it-
and
I
I've
said
this
somewhere
else,
but
it
reminds
me
of
like
a
biblical.
You
know
analogy.
If
I
might
you
know
just
this
like
tower
of
babel,
and
you
know
just
these
grand
ideas
that
we
can
do
and
we
think
they're
so
great
and
all
around
us
they're
suffering,
and
so
it
just
feels
like
wow
wrong
project
wrong
time,
maybe
another
time,
maybe
in
another
way
but
whoa.
F
We
should
really
be
seeing
what
this
looks
like,
which
is
very
out
of
step
with
what's
happening,
and
I
wanted
to
comment
also.
As
far
as
the
bird
goes.
You
know,
there
are
cities
that
are
becoming
bird-friendly
cities
and
I
believe
it's
milwaukee,
where
their
stadium
is
actually
the
first
bird
friendly
stadium
in
the
entire
united
states,
and
they
bill
it
that
way
so
talk
about
economic
development,
I
think
we
need
to
be
a
little
bit
more
forward,
thinking
and
say
hey
if
this
isn't
a
bird
friendly
design.
F
It's
going
to
hurt
you
later
on
when
20
years
from
now,
people
are
going
to
be
visiting
sites
because
they
are
considered
bird
friendly,
our
children
and
younger
are
going
to
be
looking
at
us.
Like.
Are
you
kidding
me?
You
built
that,
and
you
knew
it
was
bad
for
the
birds
you
know,
so
we
really
should
start
thinking
it's
bad
for
the
birds,
it's
probably
not
good
for
our
future.
Thanks.
D
G
Thank
you.
I,
I
wasn't
really
going
to
say
anything,
but
I
appreciated
what
the
last
speaker
said
and,
and
I
you'll
forgive
me-
I
don't
know
who
is
doing
the
you
know
you
have
to
do
all
the
numbers
and
all
that
kind
of
stuff.
I
really
appreciate
it.
The
way
you
handle
the
handle,
the
all
the
staff
I
just
went
aside,
also
a
little
bit
off
caution,
but
I
agree
with
the
bird
friendly
stuff.
Thank
you.

Hi,
barbara
beekman
here
thanks
again
to
the
words
of
jill
borders
today.
This
is
the
third
time
I've
complimented
her
this
week
and
I'm
just
it's
nice
to
hear
her
speak
on
issues.
I
am
impressed
that
you
know
her
work
with
animal
care
and
the
needs
of
animal
care
issues.
It
was
item
2.21
on
the
consent
calendar,
for
I
guess
the
beginning
of
june
from
that.
Is
that
a
time
that
we
can
better
discuss
how
that
sort
of
item
can
be
pulled
from
consent
for
better
discussion?
E
Can
she
write
to
yourselves
and
ask
a
special
you
know
she
would
like
that
item
to
be
pulled
and
talked
about
at
consent,
time
to
have
a
more
open,
longer
discussion
on
the
subject.
I
think
that
would
be
the
use
of
what
you're
talking
about.
We've
got
to
learn
to
practice
how
that
can
be
an
accessible
process
with
the
public.
I
mean
I
really
want
to
work
on
that
issue.
E
Still,
I
don't
think
we
fully
have
worked
that
issue
out
yet,
and
I
think
I
think
I'm
offering
a
good
stopgap
measure
at
this
time
how
we
can
work
on
it
and
for
jill
to
consider
as
well,
oh
and
to
quickly
mention
the
picture
in
the
letter
of
the
photo.
That
jill
was
questioning
that
that
photo
to
me
looked
a
very
a
northern
building
or
northern
design,
and
I
think
I
think
we
should
address
issues
of
what
can
look
like
design
issues
of
the
global
south.
E
I
think
we
should
be
considering
those
kind
of
concepts
more
in
san
jose
at
this
time
as
design
projects
and
architectural
projects.
With
that
all
said,
just
simply,
I
I
struck
upon
the
words.
I
really
want
to
speak
for
the
remainder
of
the
year.
I
think,
and
that
I
think
we
I
hope
we
all
can
have
an
important
role
in
learning
how
to
work
together
to
mitigate
any
possible
future
upcoming
natural
disaster
events
in
the
bay
area
next
year
in
the
next
few
years
in
the
next
decade.
I
hope
it's
an
effort.
F
F
To
my
dismay
I
was
the
only
one
I
realized
on
the
call
that
was
not
trying
to
get
money.
I'm
not
trying
to
get
an
award
an
allocation
of
fund,
and
I
thought
well,
somebody
has
to
say
something
so
I
did
it
was
rude.
I
asked
her
to
please
refrain
from
you
know,
cutting
people
off
and
to
give
us
three
seconds
to
click
the
button
and
anyway
she
just
did
such
a
poor
job,
and
so
I
just
have
to
get
this
out
today,
which
is
that
it.
F
F
I
don't
know
where
to
put
this
information,
but
I'm
going
to
take
it
somewhere
because
she
was
incredibly
unkind
to
one
caller
in
particular.
Who
was
simply
trying
to
use
a
basketball
metaphor,
and
she
said
she
cut
him
off
laughed
at
him
and
said
basketball
isn't
on
the
agenda
today
and
it
just
it.
I
couldn't
imagine
any
one
of
you
any
one
of
you
ever
doing
that
to
us,
and
so
thank
you.
I.
I
really
appreciate
that
you
respect
us.
Thank
you.
G
You
I
don't
know
if
we
can
do
anything
about
it,
but
what
happened
in
texas?
It
has
to
stop,
and
I
I
mean
I
I
know
we're
not
supposed
to
be
upset
about
this
kind
of
stuff
we're
supposed
to
just
move
along
and
we
can't
21
people
again
now.
I,
though,
the
city
has
tried
this
and
I
appreciate
it.
The
senate
will
not
pass
the
gun
control
period,
in
fact,
probably
if
they,
if
it
goes
back
to
the
other
group,
it'll
be
worse
and
they'll
like
you
know,
you
can
buy
a
gun.
G
This
kid
bought
two
ar-15s,
that's
a.
I
know
it's
not
a
military
weapon,
but
it
does
a
lot
of
damage
and
it's
just
really
upsetting.
I
I
personally
believe
absolutely
nothing
is
going
to
change
and
there
will
be
more
and
they
will
be
worse.
Maybe
we'll
learn.
I
doubt
it.
I
really
do
doubt
it.
I'm
not
sure
if
we're
going
to
actually
make
it
as
a
species.
I
just
don't
have
a
lot
of
that
and
it's
we
should
try.
I
think
that's
important.
I
don't
know,
maybe
I'm
wrong
about
that.
Thank
you.
