Hey
what's
going
on
city
council,
it's
me
again.
You
know
the
guy
that
people
call
in
and
want
to
talk
to
the
city
attorney
to
have
me
removed
well
anyway,
watching
this
hearing
committee
here
and
all
the
people
who
you
guys,
support
and
vote
for
they're
getting
they're
getting
shot
down
in
flames
by
name
by
this
amy
comey
bear.
This
is
really
good
watching
your
people
lose
really
hard
on
national
tv.
You
know
the
kamala
harris
is
the
bloomberg.
D
A
E
E
The
next
question
is:
as
as
individuals
will
we
want
to
take
the
medications,
be
wary
and
be
careful
that
covert
19
cases
have
been
on
the
rise
in
both
new
york
and
l.a
in
l.a.
To
conclude,
in
this
time
of
cobit
19,
I
hope
we
can
see
the
work
of
other
cities
and
counties
across
the
bay
area
and
across
the
country
at
this
time
and
take
to
heart
and
want
to
emulate
what
we
see
in
safe,
good
ideas
and
practices
with
the
telecommuting
items
of
cut
commute
item
on
next
week's
city
council
agenda,
a
reminder.

E
Hi,
thank
you.
This
is
going
to
be
maybe
my
heavy
for
the
day.
I
think,
there's
an
item
about
yearly
sc
sles
funding,
which
is,
I
think,
federal
government,
maybe
state,
but
state
or
federal
government
funding.
For
you
know
national
security
technology.
You
know
issues
and
law
enforcement
stuff,
and
I
I
just
felt
it
was
time
to
really.
It
hasn't
been
said
enough
that
we
we're
not
talking
enough
about
the
ideas
of
what
can
be
demilitarization
in
san
jose.
E
E
It
was
such
an
important
concept
to
you.
You
know
when
the
mayor
first
became
mayor
back
in
2014,
but
that
was
work
dedicated
to
the
ideas
of
surveillance
and
data
collection
and
basically
how
to
harass
people
and
make
people
uncomfortable
in
the
name
of
future
innovation,
and
I
I've
been
doing
for
five
years
now
trying
to
stress
the
idea
that
all
of
that
sort
of
technology
and
new
inventiveness
has
to
have
a
complementary
idea
of
open
public
practices
and
open
public
policies
and
to
work
on
that
proactively.
E
Together,
that's
how
you
build
an
innovative
future
and
san
jose
has
lacked
in
that
department
really,
and
I
know
you're
trying
to
make
up,
and
I
just
I'm
and
I've
been
saying
this
for
five
years.
I
just
hope
you
can
learn
to
practice
that
and
make
it
an
open,
fair
process
that
does
walk
hand
in
hand,
technology
and
open
accountability
practices,
and
I
wish
you
could
learn
to
promote
those
ideas
instead
of
continuously
hiding
them.
That's
how
we
leave
the
era
of
war
and
its
shock
doctrine
and
the
military
industrial
complex.
Thank
you.
D
Yeah,
I
I
feel
the
same
way
previous
caller
feels
all
this.
All
this
technology,
and
you
know
is,
is
bad.
You
have
the
police,
the
police
wear
the
cameras,
but
they
turn
them
off,
because
well
they're
they're
ashamed
of
what
they
do
for
a
living.
They
should
be
hey,
remember,
remember
all
the
photo
radar
that
we
had
for
for
light
traffic
lights
and
speeding
and
all
that
remember
how
it
went
awake
because
it
wasn't
anywhere
around
where
you
guys
were,
and
the
police
department.
D
B
E
Hi,
you
know
I
can
try
to
vouch
for
the
for
the
last
caller.
You
know
he's
possibly
trying
to
talk
about.
You
know
the
s-c-s-l-e-s
item
and
if
we
could
phrase
that
next
time,
that's
how
he
can
maybe
talk
about
it
more
if
he
needs
to
again
or
or
subject
like
that,
for
there
was
a
really
nice
public
record
this
week
about
a
pre,
the
inlu
fees
and
a
person
just
very
nicely
stated.
E
The
the
amount
was
too
small
and
it
was
just
nice
to
read,
and
you
know,
I
hope
that
you
know
we're
learning
important
lessons
at
this
time
that
you
know
we're
respecting.
You
know
this
time
of
covid.
You
know
large
corporations
they're
making
a
ton
of
money
still
at
this
time,
and
I
I
think
there
can
be
ways
that
you
can
ask
a
little
more
of
of
builders
and
developers,
even
though
it
can
be
difficult.
E
E
You
know
I've
been
attending
city
council
meetings
in
redwood,
city
and
fremont.
Lately
they
are
really
working
on
housing
issues.
As
an
idea
is
to
address
you
know:
police
defund,
and
how
to
build
the
future
of
community
with
less
of
a
reliance
on
police
and
they're,
really
asking
the
questions.
What
is
good
housing
practices?
What
are
good,
low-income
housing
practices
so
they're
doing
something
remarkable.
You
know
good
luck
in
what
you
can
do.
E
I
wanted
to
speak
about
a
few
items
that
I'm
going
to
have
to
to
wait
about
a
bit
longer,
but
I
guess
just
to
conclude,
you
know,
talk
about
think
about
very
low
and
extremely
low
income
and
mixed
income
housing.
You
know,
study
them
a
bit
and
and
look
around
and
we've
been
doing
this
good
work
already.
How
do
we
do
that?
In
this
modern
time,
thank
you.
A
A
Hi
and
just
with
regard
to
that
item
that
was
submitted
by
the
winchester
neighborhood
advisory
committee,
I
just
encourage
if
there
are
any
folks
there
who
would
like
to
submit
information
to
us
about
engineering
of
of
this,
this
cap
over
of
the
of
the
freeway
and
what
it
might
cost.
That
would
be
helpful
information
and
no
just
invite
them
to
submit
whatever
information
might
have
from
looking
at
other
cities.
B
E
E
It
should
be
duly
noted,
but
I
you
know
as
we're
trying
to
understand
our
history
as
a
human
species.
You
know
why
not
consider
that
you
know
we
were
sailing
the
globe
a
lot
sooner
than
columbus
and
15
whatever
and
it'd
be
interesting
to
learn.
I
think
we're
learning
to
be
more
interested
in
in
life
before
1500,
basically
in
1492.,
so
you
know
how
do
how
do
we
get
back
to
those
practices?
E
Obviously,
the
current
leader
in
the
philippines,
it's
important
to
to
work,
to
talk
to
him
about
humanistic
ideas
and
ways
that
don't
have
to
harm
people
to
solve
problems,
and
they
I
I
do
not
doubt
the
problems
within
the
philippines,
but
he's
taken
attacked
that
I
think
we're
all
trying
to
question
and
hopefully
really
learn
how
he
can
calm
down
basically
and
if
he
can
and
we're
trying
to
develop
good
ideas
and
good
models
and
good
understanding.
So
people
don't
have
to
be
killed
and
good
people
don't
have
to
be
killed.
E
A
B
A
D
Yeah,
okay!
Well,
I
am
very
much
so
filipino
people
been
coming
to
california
for
a
quarter
of
a
millennium.
Over
250
years,
people
like
to
re
people
who
want
to
read
about
what
it
was
like
during
the
time
before
europeans
should
read
a
book
called
a
world
transform
by
joshua
pattelson.
It's
available
san
jose
public
library
and
it'll,
be
a
good
book
for
any
of
you
on
the
city
council
to
read.
D
So
you
can
know
what
california
was
like
before
all
these
tech
people
moved
in
among
other
people
and
it'll
also
give
you
an
idea
of
how
to
control
floods
and
fires,
which
we
still
are
unable
to
do
due
to
well.
Lack
of
knowledge
native
american
people
knew
more
about
it
handed
off
to
the
spanish.
What
happened
after
that?
I
don't
know,
but
if
the
filipino
people
are
going
to
have
a
month,
whatever
happened,
the
italian
heritage
month.
E
D
Remember
that
everyone,
when
you
had
the
statue
removed,
because
you
left
them
brown
and
proud,
moved
out
of
the
city
hall,
whatever
happened
to
italian
american
heritage
day
or
month.
What
about
us
right?
Hey!
I
love
the
filipino
people.
You
know
I
love
everybody,
but
what
about
italian
sam?
If
you
forgot
about
your
own
race,
your
own,
your
own
group
of
people,
your
own
culture,
your
own
religion,
and
that
goes
for
all
the
other
roman
catholics
who
are
sitting
on
the
city
council
there
and
and
people
of
italian
american
heritage
where's
our.
D
H
Good
afternoon
committee
members,
my
name
is
helen
grieco
and
I'm
the
northern
california
organizer
for
common
cause
common
cause
is
a
50-year-old
nonpartisan
organization
dedicated
to
building
an
inclusive
democracy
advocating
for
accountable
and
representative
government
at
all
levels.
We
have
worked
with
our
allies
to
establish
the
california
citizens,
redistributing
commission,
among
other
redistributing
commissions.
We
support
redistricting
processes
that
are
as
independent,
inclusive,
accessible
and
participatory
as
possible.
H
We
are
grateful
to
see
the
reforms
that
strengthen
the
transparency
and
independence
of
san
jose's
advisory
registry
commission.
We
are
strongly
supportive
of
six
of
the
reforms.
The
mayor
is
choosing
to
go
further
than
our
original
recommendation,
which
was
to
ban
exported
communications
between
registering
commissioners
and
city
elected
officials.
We
think
both
approaches
are
preferable
to
the
status
quo.
More
importantly,
further
actions
are
needed
for
the
city
of
san
jose
to
create
a
truly
inclusive,
accessible,
community-driven,
redistributing
process.
Currently,
the
advisory
commission
is
required
to
conduct
at
least
three
public
hearings.
H
This
is
a
fraction
of
what
is
actually
required.
The
redistricting
process
needs
to
be
publicized
far
and
wide
to
ensure
community
education
and
engagement.
Outreach
must
be
translated
in
a
wide
range
of
languages.
Dozens
of
hearings
should
be
held
with
live
translation
in
spanish
and
other
non-english
languages.
All
hearing
should
be
accessible
to
persons
with
disabilities
and
held
on
evenings
and
weekends
with
child
care,
provided
the
commission
needs
to
create
a
way
for
a
wide
range
for
the
community
to
engage
with
them
and
provide
testimony
written
oral
online
offline
and
so
on.
H
These
choices
may
be
in
the
hands
of
the
advisory
registry.
Commission,
not
the
council,
but
the
council
must
allocate
the
budget
needed
to
get
the
process
right.
Redistricting
must
lift
up
community
voices.
Furthermore,
the
january
7th
21
2021
deadline
for
appointing
commission
members
is
too
early.
The
new
council
members
take
office
on
january
1st.
The
deadline
for
appointments
should
be
later
in
january.
The
city
has
until
february,
first
to
see
the
commission.
H
B
B
C
We
have
a
disagreement
about
some
of
the
provisions,
particularly
number
five
and
number
seven,
as
you
heard
from
colleagues
from
come
cause.
You
know.
There's
there's
concerns
about
this
idea
of
a
ban
on
ex-parte
communication
and
what
that
would
do
to
the
community's
participation
in
this
process.
C
By
banning
all
forms
of
ex
parte
communication,
it
would
really
limit
how
civil
rights
organizations,
how
community
organizations,
how
neighborhood
associations
how
they
can
feed
into
this
process,
how
they
can
communicate
with
staff.
They
would
be
banned
from
communicating
with
staff
how
they
can
communicate
with
the
representatives
from
their
district.
They
would
be
banned
from
such
communication
and
what
that
does
in
terms
of
strengthening
the
powers
of
staff
and
those
who
set
the
agenda
for
this
commission,
including
the
the
chair
of
the
commission,
who
is
appointed
by
the
mayor.
C
C
F
Hi
everyone.
Can
you
hear
me?
Yes,
awesome
hello,
my
name
is,
and
I
am
working
with
luna
latinos,
united
frontier
america
in
the
east
of
san
jose
and
my
organization
is
concerned
with
point
number
five
in
the
mayor's
october
9th
memo,
which
is
a
proposed
ban
on
communications
to
commissioners
outside
of
public
comment
at
public
meetings,
luna
just
like
other
organizations
in
the
east
side
of
san
jose.
We
care
deeply
about
making
sure
that
everyone
in
san
jose
has
a
voice
and
representation
in
our
political
process.
F
F
I
You
know
I
I
the
thing
I'm
not
going
to
miss
about
san
jose
is
all
the
talk
and
no
action.
So
the
reality
is
each
council
district
chooses
who's
on
the
committee,
so
for
everyone
in
the
public
strike
number
five.
All
you
want
doesn't
matter.
The
decision
is
already
decided
because
each
council
member
chooses
who's
on
the
district.
I
We
share
50
of
our
border
with
district
6
and
willow
glen
we're
considered
willow
glenn.
If
you
look
at
a
map
under
highway,
85
and
87,
you
see
a
triangle.
Well,
if
you
cut
the
top
part
tip
off
the
triangle,
that's
gardner,
so
no
one
in
their
right
mind
would
ever
actually
separate
us
from
willow
glen.
I
I
support
dev
davis
and
I
think
she
can
do
great
things
and
show
that
the
community
in
willow
glen
is
embracing,
like
they
say,
and
bring
us
in
bring
in
gardner
neighborhood,
which
is
terribly
underserved.
We
literally
get
train
tracks
run
through
our
neighborhood.
Most
of
our
residents.
Don't
speak
english.
Everybody
wants
to
help
the
the
people
in
need,
stop
talking
just
pick
one
neighborhood
and
make
it
gardner
stop
redlining
us
make
it
right
and
truthfully.
I
E
E
E
Good
afternoon
my
name
is
gabriel
manrique
latinos
united
for
new
america.
We
are
concerned
with
point
number
five
in
the
mayor's
october.
Ninth
memo
a
proposed
ban
on
communications
to
commissioners
outside
of
public
comment
at
public
meetings.
Luna
wants
that
everyone
in
san
jose
has
a
voice
and
representation
in
her
political
processes.
E
D
D
Maybe
deb
davis
should
actually
get
some
things
done,
but
when
it
comes
to
redistricting,
I
wonder
what
district
9
is
going
to
look
like
it's
probably
the
most
neglected
district
in
the
entire
city
of
san
jose
bad
roads,
bad
infrastructure,
a
lot
of
a
lot
of
buildings
that
are
burned
and
nothing
looks
like
detroit
around
here-
got
built
building
on
my
neighborhood
it
caught
on
fire
over
a
year
ago,
so
derelict
symbol
caught
on
fire
about
a
year
ago,
still
derelict.
Among
other
things,
I
mean
district
9.
D
You
know
I
mean
a
building
burns
burns
down
in
front
of
the
firehouse.
What
kind
of
district
is
this
takes
forever
for
the
fire
department
to
show
up
here?
This
is
district.
9
is
the
district
that
san
jose
forgot,
so
if
it
gets
redistricted
or,
however,
you
say
it,
I
hope
that
we
get
somebody
who
cares
about
the
district.
You
got
the
illegal
dumping
going
on
everywhere,.
B
A

J
B
For
a
second
and
in
2010,
the
memo
was
put
forward
by
mayor
reed.
There
was
not
an
open
recruitment.
This
time
we
decided
to
to
do
an
open
recruitment
and
use
the
application
process
of
the
application
process
wasn't
used
in
2010.
Based
on
my
understanding
of
the
documents
that
I
reviewed,
we
didn't.
I
was
not
here
in
2010,
but
the
documents
just
showed
that
the
council
was
able
to
go
out
and
appoint
whoever
they
wanted
to
appoint,
and
there
was
no
applicant
pool.
J
J
Loud
and
clear
that
there's
some
folks
who
called
in
who
are
concerned
about
not
having
enough
communication-
and
I
know
that
communication
is
really
important
to
all
of
us
and
making
sure
that
we
are
in
tune
with
our
community
and
what
they're
saying
and
their
needs
and
wants.
And
so
I
wonder
if
what
we
could
do
is
maybe
have
a
staff
develop
an
analysis
based
on
this
recommendation
that
comes
primarily
from
the
california
common
cause
to
adopt
some
of
those
reforms.
B
J
B
J
The
best
frame
you
know
is
this
the
best
source
that
we
can
rely
on,
and
I
I'm
not
saying
whether
it
is
or
isn't
I
I
don't
know,
but
this
is
an
actual,
a
very
pivotal
issue
for
many
many
of
us
who
might
find
our
districts
really
changing
and
redistricting
changing
that
that
representation.
So
I'd
like
to
hear
from
our
department
staff
to
see
if
there's
any
any
analysis
that
we
can
make
on
the
policy.
B
Again,
this
is
tony
I
feel
like
this
is
more
on
this
in
the
city
clerk's
office.
This
is
more
my
area
of
work
than
the
city
manager's
office.
So
I'll
take
a
look
at
this
I'll.
I
will
connect
with
lee
just
to
make
sure
that
we're
on
the
same
page
on
that
and
I'll
I'll
put
together.
Something
when
do
you
want
this
to
come
back
to
council,
we
were
planning
on
just
coming
back
next
week.
I
don't
know
if
I'll
have
time
for
it
to
come
back
next
week.
J
J
I
just
think
that
there
should
be
some
level
of
analysis
when
there's
so
many
questions
on
our
from
our
community
in
terms
of
what's
being
recommended
and
that
we,
you
know
once
we
are
in
front
of
council,
sometimes
it's
too
late
to
say.
Well
now
we
need
some
analysis
at
this
point,
and
so
I
rather
have
a
step
in
with,
with
some
level
of
you
know
our
department
staff.
Looking
at
at
what
common
cause
who
common
cause
is.
J
B
A
I
would
just
ask
that
you
know
I
think
common
cause
can
provide
some
information
about
what
animates
these
recommendations,
particularly
the
ban
on
closed
door,
backroom
communications,
which
seems
to
be
drawing
the
ire
of
labor
and
some
of
their
allies,
specifically
in
la.
I
think.
At
least
one
council
member
was
indicted
as
a
result
of
backdoor
communications
in
a
redistricting
commission
that
ultimately
moved
a
couple
items.
A
couple
of
entities
within
that
council
members
district,
which
then
had
led
to
some
bribery
and
ultimately
indictment.
A
The
cities
of
long
beach
in
sacramento
have
taken
the
steps
that
are
being
recommended
here,
as
is
the
california
assistance
redistricting
commission.
I
understand.
Labor
would
like
to
have
access
to
be
able
to
talk
to
people
ex
parte,
but
there's
a
lot
of
good
government
reason
why
we
would
say
if
people
want
to
communicate,
they
would
communicate
in
a
public
forum
or
by
email
which
can
be
posted
publicly
or
they
can
write
op-eds
or
they
can
communicate
in
a
host
of
other
ways.
A
A
D
C
G
Well,
you
know
what
mayor,
I
think
you
said
it
better
than
I
was
going
to
say
it
and
I
just
don't
understand,
what's
being
advocated
for
are
we
wanting
to
do
back
room
deals?
I'm
you
know
I
had
somebody
come
up
to
me
and
tell
me
hey.
I
will
vote
the
way
you
want
me
to.
If
you
put
me
on
the
commission-
and
I
said
well,
I
don't
want
you,
you
know
it
made
me
feel
like
I
shouldn't
appoint
this
person,
because
I
don't
want
them
to
do
what's
right
for
me.
G
A
E
E
To
again
note
is
my
understanding
that
if
an
item
is
deferred
and
has
not
been
before
committee
or
counsel
before
it
has
to
have
public
comment,
the
mayor
has
always
been
very
open
to
public
comment
when
items
are
being
deferred
on
its
surface.
These
legal
questions
should
be
fairly
easy
to
answer
and
can
help
work
to
develop
good
policy
procedures
and
relationships.
This
fall.
E
D
Zero
yeah
meetings
have
to
be
open
because
you
have
to
be
able
to
hear
what
people
like
me
think,
because
it's
not
all
these
glad-handers
that
call
and
think
you're.
So,
wonderful,
you
guys
remember
when
they
removed
baby
jesus
from
christmas
in
the
park.
They
did
that
illegally
in
a
secret
session
hammer
and
the
rest
of
the
rest
of
her
people
did
that
illegally.
They
voted
and
had
baby
jesus
removed.
