Great
thank
you
and
you,
you
jumped
right
to
to
roll,
but
we're
calling
the
meeting
to
order
for
the
joint
meeting
of
the
rules
and
open
government
committee
meeting
and
committee
of
the
whole,
and
we
have
members
here
that
are
participating
on
zoom.
So
if
you're
joining
us
by
zoom,
you
can
raise
your
hand
if
you'd
like
to
speak
or
if
you're
joining
us
over
the
phone
which
doesn't
look
like.
We
have
anybody
at
the
moment.
C
B
C
We
have,
and
I
believe
there
was
a
confidential
memo
sent
to
council
on
that.
I
could
be
wrong
the
as
I
recall,
the
biggest
difference.
It
was
it
it
covered
more
than
we
did.
We
had
a
bankruptcy
carve
out,
it
does
not,
and
we
had
a
provision
in
there
for
people
who
could
not
return
to
work
immediately
because
of
caring
for
either
themselves
or
family
members
because
of
covid,
and
that
was,
I
think,
really
the
only
substantive
difference.
B
We
may
not
even
need
to
defer
it
right
to
another
week,
but
I
would
I
would
prefer
that
we
at
least
have
some
time
to
kind
of
chew
over
what
the
differences
may
be
to
decide,
and
so
I
would
agree
it
doesn't
have
to
come
to
the
council
next
week,
because
you
know
it
may
be
something
that
we
ultimately
don't
need
to
take
up.
So
I'd
be
comfortable
with
with
deferring
it
out
and
then
potentially,
if
we
needed
to
even
dropping
it
all
together,
but
go
ahead.
Councilman
dennis.
D
Thank
you
chair.
It
was
that's
exactly
what
I
was
gonna
say
because
I
was
what
I
was
going
to.
What
I
was
wondering
is
if
there
was
already
an
analysis
and
a
comparison,
and
so
I
I
do
think,
there's
some
value
in
bringing
it
back
and
continuing
to
to
look
at
that
or
at
you
know,
having
our
city
attorney
to
continue
to
do
that
analysis
and
present
it
to
us.
I
I
don't
feel
comfortable
dropping
it,
but
I
would
love
to
defer
it.
D
C
D
B
A
I
don't
have
a
lot
to
add.
I
was
I
was
going
to
mention
that
we
have
members
of
public,
at
least
one
of
whom,
I
think
is
going
to
give
input
as
to
whether
what
the
timing
should
be
on
the
deferral.
I'm
not
I'm
not
sure
whether
one
reads
enough
or
not
take
a
little
more
time
to
understand
the
differences
and
find
out
what
we
might
do
to
help
our
workers
here
locally.
E
B
I
was,
I
was
contacted
in
regards
to
the
jpa
item
3.7,
the
public
purpose
bonds
issued
by
jack
powers,
authority
for
moderate
income
rental
housing,
as
staff
has
released
their
memorandum
on
that
now
fairly
lengthy.
I
think
in
a
nuanced
topic,
and
the
parties
involved
are
interested
in
being
able
to
take
a
look
at
that
and
have
a
a
response
before
the
council
can
take
up
the
item
and
I'd
be
willing
to
to
give
them
that
opportunity.
B
So
I
would
ask
that
we
could
defer
that
item
as
well
and
I'm
happy
a
week.
I
think
would
be
enough,
but
I
don't
know
if
staff
would
have
a
suggestion
in
regards
to
timing
of
you
know,
would
one
week
be,
would
that
week
start
get
kind
of
piled
up?
I
believe
that
is
the
may
4th,
but
I
would
I
would
ask
that
the
maker
of
the
motion
include
that
deferral
as
well,
and
so
I
don't
know
if
staff
wanted
to.
E
B
D
D
B
B
A
E
You
know
the
english
only
issues
that
so
often
vex
ourselves
as
local
communities.
I
hope
we're
learning
to
work
through
that.
Good
luck
on
those
efforts-
and
I've
explained
before
you
can
call
sjsu
students
or
city
government
staff
and
learn
to
negotiate
with
city
unions
about
maybe
100
bucks
an
hour
instead
of
300
bucks
an
hour
with
49
seconds.
E
The
other
item
was
returned
together
issues
that
I
I
can
see
this
as
kind
of
a
workers
rights
issue
in
a
way
and
in
this
time
of
covid
how
how
workers
can
be
invited
back
to
their
jobs.
I
thought
I
would
simply
offer
this
time
can.
Can
you
learn
to
make
it
a
point,
so
workers
can
ask,
will
their
places
of
work?
E
Will
they
be
using
hvac
systems
and
possible
aerosol
vaccine
systems
and
and
how
to
make
that
conversation
safe
to
talk
about,
and
I
we
have
to
really
address
you
know
what
is
the
vaccine
process?
I
feel
I
hope
that's
going
to
be
my
next
work
in
the
next
few
months
and
it
can
be
safe
to
talk
about
what
exactly
is
the
vaccine
process
and
and
the
concept
of
synthetic
proteins
thanks
a
lot.
F
F
F
The
the
reason
why
they
are
able
to
be
exploited
is
simply
because
of
that.
Sbo
went
on
record
as
stating
that
if
this
does
happen,
we're
going
to
have
a
lawsuit,
okay,
and
it
also
came
out
a
couple
days
ago
that
this
is
the
major
contributor
in
terms
of
finances
to
the
city.
So
it's
critically
important
that
the
that
the
everybody
get
on
the
same
stage
go
ahead
present
your
argument
and
that
the
city
itself
be
able
to
see
this
and
know
and
hear
from
our
council
members
hear
from
the
mayor.
F
G
G
But
it
was
written
to
also
allow
for
local
governments
to
pass
stronger
to
pass
stronger,
recall
rights.
So
in
that
spirit,
we
do
recommend
that
the
city
look
at
ways
that
they
can
further
enhance,
recall
rights
for
hospitality
workers
in
san
jose.
I
think
one
of
the
key
differences
that
wasn't
mentioned
was
this
includes
additional
enforcement
mechanisms.
We
recommend
having
a
private
right
of
action,
and
that
is
something
that
is
often
attached
to
our
minimum
labor
standards.
G
So
you
as
a
council
can
require
that
pride
private
right
of
action
on
top
of
what
is
required
in
sb
93,
and
that
will
be
a
great
way
of
making
sure
that
this
law
is
enforced
and
that
people
play
by
the
rules
in
san
jose,
and
we
look
forward
to
continuing
to
talk
about
this
issue
with
you
and
think
about
how
we
can
make
sure
that
our
hospitality
workers
are
getting
back
to
work.
Thank
you.
A
A
You
know
the
city
really
does
need
to
work
with
stakeholders
on
a
considered
approach
to
his
missing
middle
housing
solutions,
and
I
certainly
appreciate
and
respect
the
work
snap
has
done
but
believe
that
additional
voices
do
need
to
be
at
the
table,
because
san
jose
is
nowhere
near
meeting
the
need
for
demand
for
missing
middle
housing,
and
so
we
should
really
take
seriously
all
the
solutions
on
the
table.
So
again,
I
want
to
support
the
efforts
to
defer
the
item
so
that
more
engagement
can
be
had.
Thank
you.
B
D
This
is
kind
of
what
happens
right,
so
I
didn't
want
to
blame
or
or
point
fingers
or
anything
like
that,
because
it's
not
the
case.
I
think
it's
just
part
of
the
process,
and
sometimes
when
we
want
things
urgently,
you
you
have
to
expedite
and
and
invoices
got
left
out
so
anyways.
I
wanted
to
thank
our
housing
department
for
their
flexibility
and
for
their
willingness
to
to
to
do
to
defer
this
item
and
to
hear
from
our
stakeholders,
and
then
hopefully
I
can
get
a
second.

Hi,
what
I
want
to
blair
beekman
here
to
try
to
conclude
my
my
from
my
previous
public
comment.
You
know
I
over
the
next
few
months,
I'm
sure
yourselves
are
very
well
doing
already
as
long
as
santa
clara
county
as
a
city
government
and
as
yourselves
as
a
city
government,
I'm
hoping
that,
how
can
we
make
clear
that
the
modernity
process
and
the
pfizer
vaccines
are
not?
E
You
know,
filled
with
you,
know,
micro
micro
chip
technology,
and
that
synthetic
proteins
is
actually
just
the
assembling
of
of
different
molecular
structures
of
humans,
assembling
different
molecular
structures
and
being
able
to
put
that
into
the
body
as
a
way
to
combat
the
the
kovid
issues
and
that
kovid.
You
know
this.
This
item
is
meant
to
speak
to
the
many
coveted
items
on
on
this
week's
agenda
and
that
you
know
there's
the
johnson
and
johnson
vaccine
and
the
astrazeneca.
Those
are
homeopathic
cures.
E
The
moderna
is
a
process
that
is
a
very
interesting
inventive
new
idea.
I
think
there
can
be
ways
to
do
it
in
the
future
that
don't
have
to
involve.
You
know
microchip
technology
and
can
simply
be
a
synthetic.
You
know
protein
system.
How
can
we
learn
to
talk
about
that
openly
and
make
that
clear
to
people
I'm
interested
in
how
to
do
that
over
the
next
few
weeks
and
months?
And
that's
what
I'll
try
to
do
for
the
other
items
on
on
the
agenda
you're
going
to
be
talking
about
community
development
issues?
E
How
are
we
going
to
talk
about
the
future
of
kovid
and
how
we're
getting
out
of
it
and
the
importance
of
funding
in
our
lives
and
how
that's
helping
ourselves
and
that
we
can
rely
on
it
as
a
service?
I
think
we
just
really
gotta
learn
to
talk
about
that
openly
and
all
that
it
can
offer
creatively
and
good
terms
for
our
community.
Thank
you.
F
Thank
you,
I'm
requesting
some
clarification
on
the
pellier
park.
The
power
park
issue
in
terms
of
getting
bids
from
some
contractors
specifically,
is
that,
with
regard
to
the
felon
statute,
I
would
like
to
know
that,
and
if
it
is,
I
would
like
it
the
the
language
amended
to
reflect
that
I'm
requesting
that
that's
number
one
number
two.
What
urban
confluence
is
is
attempting
to
do
here
in
the
city.
They
sold
that
as
public
art.
F
F
F
The
welcome
back
here
just
come
into
our
city
and
just
do
whatever
it
is
that
you
want,
and
if
it's
something
that
really
can't
we'll
just
switch
the
language
and
we'll
calm
the
citizens
and
and
then
we'll
just
go
ahead
and
insert
it
anyway,
to
demonstrate
our
power
and
show
them
who
runs
this
city
and
that
we
are
in
control
of
it
and
then,
if,
if
there's
something
that's
codified
in
the
law,
we'll
just
change
the
law.
You
know
that's
a
lot
of
exercising
of
power.
F
B
Motion
in
a
second
to
approve
the
may
fourth
tentative
agenda
here
and
then
just
in
regards
to
a
response.
Apostle's
comment
on
the
pelier
park:
the
paleo
park
is
adjacent
to
where
the
fallon
statue
currently
stands,
and
this
in
particular,
this
bid
in
a
ward
of
contract
is
not
going
to
impact
the
statue
and
was
is
only
intended
to
impact
on
on
the
actual
park
itself,
which
is
adjacent
to
it.
So,
but
but
not
what
will
not
involve
the
statute?
D
E
D
Well,
I
just
wanted
to
take
a
moment
to
invite
everybody
from
our
rules.
Committee.
All
of
our
council
members,
are
invited
and
allowed
to
participate.
This
is
a
pispus
committee
joint
meeting
with
the
county,
so
only
members
of
the
committee
can
vote,
but
anybody
can
participate
everyone.
All
the
council
members
can
participate
in.
B
B
F
F
Thank
you,
redlining
and
all
of
the
associated
deprivation
of
wealth,
the
abuse
that
happened
with
kids
in
this
in
the
schools
for
speaking
spanish,
you
know
how
that
was
passed
down
generationally.
All
of
these
things,
the
city
is
dealing
with
right.
Now
we
we're
continuing
with
it.
I
know
for
sure,
for
a
fact,
I
am
okay
and
there's
all
these
social
economic
that
that
created
this
perception
that
the
symptoms
of
those
issues
when
they
surfaced
in
the
generations
were
criminalized.
F
You
see-
and
so
this
is
this
is
why
it's
so
critically
important
that
the
city
take
a
formal
stance,
because
what
you're
doing
is
you're
making
these
decisions,
but
yet
in
the
next
breath,
you'll
talk
about
equity,
you'll
talk
about
a
racial
equity,
you'll
talk
about
in
every
single
policy,
but
yet
those
are
just
words
inserted
in
the
policy.
There's,
absolutely
no!
B
B
E
Minutes
hi.
Thank
you,
blair,
beekman,
here
for
this
item.
I
was
interested
in.
It
seems
to
be
that
many
of
the
public
record
letters
this
week
are
about
density
issues
in
san
jose
and
there's
a
bit
of
worry
with
with
the
letter
writing
about
the
future
of
density.
You
know
I've
been
trying
to
offer
for
months
now
the
idea
of
what
mixed
income
housing
can
offer.
E
E
What
I
find
is
they're
really
interesting,
and
I
you
know
I
I
lack
a
certain
depth
to
to
better
understand
the
issue.
I'm
sorry
about
that.
You
probably
will
know
that
by
now,
but
yourselves
have
had
just
years
of
knowledge
and
learning
about
the
subject
and
it's
like
every
year
you
you
find
new
ways
to
apply
mixed
income
ideas.
I
think
it's
time
to
you
know,
really
consider
creative
good
ideas
with
mixed
income
and
really
turn
it
on
basically
and
consider
how
mixed
income
can
really
address
these
density
issues.
E
E
I
got
a
phone
here,
I
mean
what
really
offers
our
future
and
how
to
consider
our
issues
as
a
community
and
on
our
housing
and
how
to
build.
You
know
really
well
meant
really
good
intention,
housing
for
our
future
and
our
creature
of
our
neighborhoods
and
that's
the
reimagine
ideas
and
it's
good
stuff.
Just
a
reminder.
Thank
you.
F
Thank
you.
I
also
read
the
letters
and
you
see
the
because
the
city
itself.
Well,
it's
both
the
city
and
the
county
have
been
quiet
on
these
issues
with
respect
to
redlining
and
all
of
the
the
exact
way
articulated
clearly
how
those
things
manifest
and
what
it's
done.
It's
it's
created
this
false
sense
of
entitlement
to
the
affluent
anglo
it
it
has
given
that,
and
that
is
actually
that
sense
of
entitlement
that
you
know
this.
This
area
is
mine.
F
F
It
was
placed
there
by
his
daughters,
not
the
city,
the
daughters
put
that
there
and
when
you
look
at
it,
this
dude
was
an
actual
general
in
the
mexican-american
war,
and
this
is
put
at
a
park
where
the
barcelo
vasquez
was
hung.
I
mean
I
mean
all
the
iconography
and
all
the
language
is
right
there
in
front
of
you.
It's
just
that
either
we
is
a
city
are
going
to
confront
that
and
and
really
accept
the
responsibility
of
doing
that
or
just
why
even
talk
about
equity
anymore.
That's
it's!
F
B
A
B
D
B
E
Beekman
hi
blair
beekman
to
try
to
be
a
messenger
and
not
you
know
hopefully
don't
hurt
the
messenger
here.
I
really
like
the
sj
spotlight
story
the
past
week
about
talking
about
the
mayor's
issue
about
the
future
of
the
the
hydrogen
fuel
cell
structures,
and
this
deal
with
bloom
energy
and
its
use
of
natural
gas.
E
I
thought
it
was
a
good
story.
I
I
hope
you
know
when
we
consider
this
issue.
I
mean
I've
learned
a
lot
since
this
issue
first
came
out
and
I'm
I've
been
talking
about.
You
know
that
we
need
to
actually
prepare
for
an
actual
earthquake
in
the
next
few
years
and
I'm
really
sorry
if
I've
been
a
bit
too
strong
in
that
area.
E
Maybe
we
can
exact
it
down
a
bit
further
and
really
prepare
and
that's
really
good
practices
of
renewable
energy,
and
you
know
the
like
that.
I
feel
if
we
practice
renewable
energy
ideas
now
and
really
focus
on
that
when,
if
a
big
earthquake
or
other
natural
disaster
does
happen
in
the
next
few
years
in
the
bay
area,
we
can
be
prepared
to
go
right
back
into
our
good
practices.
E
You
know
we
don't
have
to
be
stuck
in
in
brown,
energy
and
I'm
sorry
to
call
it
brown
energy,
dirty
fuel
energy
and
the
like,
which
I,
the
mayor,
is
trying
to
address.
He
wants
to
create
natural
gas
is
my
feeling
as
a
backup
generator
source
to
avoid
the
fossil
fuel
use.
Now
that's
the
question:
how
do
you
want
to
address
that?
That's
our
future
questions
to
ask
about
hydrogen
fuel
cells
and
can
hydrogen
fuel
cells.
You
use
renewable
energy
instead
of
natural
gas
thanks.

A
quote
from
a
letter
from
a
birmingham
jail
written
in
1963.
I
had
the
hope
that
the
white
moderate
would
understand
that
law
and
order
exists
for
the
purpose
of
establishing
justice
and
that
when
they
fail
in
this
purpose,
they
become
dangerously
structured
dams
that
block
the
flow
of
social
progress.
F
F
F
This
is
the
only
goal
that
I
have
in
mind.
I
have
no
other.
I
have
no
ambitions
for
money.
I
have
no
ambitions
for
for
for
anything
else,
other
than
just
squaring
this,
because
what
I
fear
is
the
future
and
those
those
citizens
that
are
not
going
to
have
what
it
is
that
I
have
right
now:
they're
not
going
to
have
the
benefit
of
this,
and
so
that's
the
role
that
I
serve
in
this
community,
and
I
can
tell
you
this
much.
