A
D
D
All

the

over
yeah.
You
did
okay,
thank
you
and
then
you
can
talk.
You
can

Paul
next.
Thank
you
for
items.
2.9
and
2.12
are
wild
the
feature
of
Trail
issues,
and
you
know
a
smart
Street
project
or
you
know,
Street
good
Street
projects
for
the
future
of
or
what
is
it?
I
can't
even
remember
it
now.
Blossom
Hill
Road
Improvement
program,
interchange
program.
These
are
tech,
tech.
D
Things
can
really
be,
interestingly,
involved
with
the
future
of
wildlife
trails
and,
as
always,
I
try
to
remind
yourself
the
important
work
of
the
city
of
Davis.
They've
done
really
good.
Tech
coordinates
work
on
these
things,
making
good
open,
clear
public
policies
that
I
think
yourselves
should
actually
really
enjoy
and
learn
how
it
can
be
a
more
open,
accountable
process.
Thank
you
and
for
item
4.1
military
equipment
annual
report,
the
very
definition
of
open
and
accountability
packages.
I
hope
you
noticed
at
this
was
at
Christmas.
D
A
few
weeks
ago,
two
people
from
the
American
defense
Services
committee
had
a
pretty
long
list
of
things
that
really
can
be
improved
upon
and
how
police
initially
presented
their
their
their
findings
of
you
know:
military-use
equipment
and
giving
that
to
the
public.
There
can
be
a
myriad
of
ways
to
always
want
to
build
just
more
and
more
open
practices
with
these
guidelines
and
ways
to
work.
We
had
a
really
good
start.
D
I
hope
we
want
to
do
want
to
continue
to
proactively
offer
our
good
practices
and
and
to
list
our
good
what
our
equipment
is
and
what
we're
doing
with
it.
So
we
can
be
clear
with
the
public
to
ask
questions
in
return.
That
is
our
democracy,
and
that
is
our
future
guys.
I
mean
it
is
wonderful,
it
is
so
it
is
not
war.
Believe
it
or
not,
it
is
peace.
Open
democracy
is
peace.
This
is
what
I'm
here
for
guys
thanks.
E
That
was
on
their
end
Blair,
because
I
could
hear
your
voice
perfectly
just
the
way
that
you
could
hear
mine.
So
what
they're
doing
is
they're
they're,
silencing
our
mics
anyways
from
the
Horseshoe
consent.
Calendar
I
mean
minute
orders
now
I
need
a
politician
on
this
board
that
has
courage
to
start
challenging
the
system.
I
spend
hours,
reading
these
memos
and
preparing
my
remarks
and
what
they've
done
is
all
of
the
covid
all
during
the
covet
era.
What
they've
done
look
at
look
at
this
calendar.
E
They're
eat
they're,
literally
going
back
to
all
of
those
documents
and
erasing
them
now,
when
you
read
1984
George,
Orwell's
1984,
and
you
read
about
the
ministry
of
truth,
that
was
the
one
that
Winston
was
working
in
and
what
what
they
were
doing
was
the
exact
same
thing:
they're
going
back
and
they're
erasing
or
they're
inserting
into
public
documents
things
that
they
don't
want
the
future
to
know.
So,
basically,
what
they
did
is
they
erased
my
entire
work,
all
of
my
work
and
Blairs.
E
They
erased
us
from
the
public
record
from
the
future,
so
you
see
50
years
from
now
when
they
look
back
at
this
time,
because
covet
is
the
covet
era
in
San.
Jose
is
going
to
be
one
of
the
most
researched
eras
in
our
history,
because
researchers
in
the
future
are
going
to
research.
This
point
in
time
because
of
all
the
corruption
that's
going
on,
and
so
what
the
city
has
done
is
literally
erased
any
kind
of
opposition,
any
kind
of
challenge
to
the
city
itself,
and
they
did
it
in
the
documents
so
come
on.
E
I
mean
that's
number
one
number
two:
is
that
you're?
Depriving
me
of
the
ability
to
challenge
you
in
court
because
now
I
can't
access
that
record
now,
I'm
glad
I
saved
my
own
plenty
of
them,
so
I'm
I'm,
safe
on
certain
areas,
but
these
ones
I
didn't
know
you
were
doing
it
with
these.
So
if
they're
all
covered
era
issues,
you
guys
are
criminals.
A
Again,
9
30
closed
session
130
Open
Session
have
at
least
two
ceremonials
consent,
Pages
five
through
seven
ten
items.
A
F
E
Thank
you,
Paul
solo
from
the
Horseshoe
I'm
in
conversations
with
the
moekma
aloni
people
regarding
the
tamian
station.
My
comments
are
restricted
to
the
tamian
station
bill
and
number
one
I
want
to
know.
Have
you
contacted
him
and
spoke
with
them,
because
here's
the
possibility
this
this
housing
project
is
going
a
stone's
throw
away
from
where
my
ancestors
were
dug
up.
E
Remember:
I'm
a
registered
California,
Native,
Mission
Indian,
and
so
these
are
my
ancestors
and
what
you
did
is
you
dug
up
their
burial
site
to
build
the
teaming
station
and
that's
how
it
got
its
name.
I
was
a
little
boy
and
I
rode
on
the
bike
over
there
and
I
saw
what
was
happening.
Didn't
really
understand
it
at
the
time,
but
I
do
now
and
so
I
want
to
know
number
one.
Have
they
been
contacted
number
one?
Are
they
going
to?
E
Is
there
going
to
be
a
representative
of
the
Illinois
people
on
site
paid
for
by
the
city
in
order
to
guide
this
storage
process,
because
there
is
a
very
significant
possibility
that
you
are
going
to
unearth
a
final
and
disturb
a
final
resting
place
of
our
people?
So
that's
number
one
number
two
is:
has
there
been
built
into
this
installation,
an
art
installation,
some
Memorial,
not
a
plaque
I,
don't
want
to
plaque.
I
want
something.
Big
I
want
something
big
that
honors
the
ancestors
and
the
rightful
legitimate
owners
and
stewards
of
that
land.
E
It's
obvious
that
they
are
the
rightful
stewards
of
the
land
because
you
disturbed
their
their
final
resting
place
to
build
your
BTA.
So
to
you,
progress
means
disturbing
our
people
and
that's
like
disgusting.
But
of
course
none
of
you
have
a
conscience
about
it
and
there'll
be
a
there'll,
be
a
lot
of
issues
around
this.
If
you
don't
so,
it's
important
that
I
put
this
on
record
and
put
put
this
on
notice
and
also
I
would
like
for
some
more
Ohlone
natives
to
be
considered
for
this
housing
project
to
live
there.
E
B
D
Hi
play
Beekman
here,
two
items
I
wanted
to
talk
about
today.
One
is
about
a
few
writers
about
Community
energy.
Again,
it's
actually
continuation
of
something
yesterday,
Council
and
also
about
CD
that
we
talked
yesterday.
D
D
Sort
of
cancel
Missing
the
head
of
the
community
energy,
but
there
needs
to
be
a
talk
about
community
in
itself,
I
mean
consolidating
all
the
power
into
the
city
manager
to
have
executive
decision-making
power
policy.
Making
is
really
questionable
to
me
in
the
long
term,
maybe
for
the
short
term
and
I
think
you
guys
have
to
learn
how
to
be
more
clear
about
that
and
be
clear
that
we
have
a
goal
to
be
a
community
energy
process
and
what
I
said
in
the
previous
item
was
all
that
entails.
D
I
mean
we're
opening
a
feature
of
a
more
open
democracy.
Everyone
and
you
have
to
learn
how
to
be
working
towards
that
and
to
talk
in
that
language
and
to
be
accessible
to
those
Concepts.
We're
not
just
continuously
a
representational
democracy,
where
a
participatory
democracy
as
well
learn
the
language
to
speak
to
the
participatory
democracy
process
and
that's
what
I'm
doing
and
I'm
giving
you
a
language
that
is
this
guideline.
D
A
D
E
But
consent
calendar
items,
oh
yeah,
yeah,
yeah,
consent,
I,
wanted
to
bring
up
District
Seven
about
black
April
District
Seven
seems
to
have
a
kind
of
a
case
of
amnesia
and
what
I
mean
by
that
is
that
there
is
no
respect,
no
respect
at
all
or
no
acknowledgment
of
the
48
Chicano
lives
that
were
drafted
into
this
war
and
shipped
8
000
miles
away
to
provide
to
kill
and
to
die
in
the
fields
of
Vietnam
to
give
them
democracy
over
there.
E
And
this
is
a
democracy
that
these
Chicanos
were
denied
here
in
the
fields
of
sassy
puedes
and
the
denial
when
I
went
to
the
when
I
went
to
the
museum
of
the
Vietnamese
Community
I
do
not
see
anything
in
that
museum
that
honors
the
Chicano
sacrifices
that
were
made
so
that
they
could
experience
democracy.
They
walk
around
the
city,
real
bold,
with
their
chest
out,
thinking
that
somehow
another
they
got
something
coming
well,
you
know
what
the
backbone
the
backbone,
the
very
backbone
and
the
the
soul
means
by
which
they
have
anything
in
this
city.
E
It's
the
sacrifices
of
the
Chicano
Community,
because
Willow
Glen
didn't
want
them.
Willow
Gwen
wanted
nothing
to
do
with
him.
The
Rose
Garden
wanted
nothing
to
do
with
Vietnamese.
It
was
the
Samoan
Community,
the
Filipino
community
and
the
Mexicano
community
that
absorbed
them
and
gave
them
Refuge
because
they
were
refugees.
E
Nowhere
in
the
world
did
they
find
Refuge
other
than
in
our
communities,
and
yet
we
are
not
reflected
in
any
of
their
history
in
any
of
their
public
acknowledgments.
They
walk
around
with
their
militarized
uniforms,
both
sticking
their
chest
out.
Think
and-
and
you
know
what
we're
the
means-
we're
the
ones
that
provided
their
ability
to
do-
that.
D
Aye
bear
Pikmin
here.
I
also
wanted
to
speak
on
the
issue.
D
I
I
for
a
few
years
I've
been
trying
to
handle
around
it
better
address
this
issue,
because
I'm
trying
to
with
my
heart,
is
better
and
relearn
my
better
thing
around
a
social
practices
that
I
feel
simply
gave
important
organization
Direction
and
how
we
consider
our
issues
in
life
as
anxiety
and
when
nine
thousand
are
their
ideas
and
how
we
move
forward
forward.
Things
is
based
basically
on
social
studies
that
we
tend
to
them
creditor
or
that
when
we
do,
we
quickly
to
decide
and
say
we're
happy
with
Society.
D
We
don't
want,
but
we'll
look
it
anyway,
so
I
find
there's
a
twicity
and
how
we
work
in
this
country.
That's
annoying,
don't
like
it
and
I
need
to
be
honest
with
how
we
address
our
issues.
So
she
has
a
lot
of
good
answers,
so
this
doesn't
mean
it's
been
hard
for
me
with
the
current
Vietnam
Vietnamese
mind
frame
in
San
Jose.
D
That
gets
really
angry
at
that
I,
totally
understand
from
what
they've
been
taken
away
from
in
their
past
and
I,
and
so
I've
been
trying
to
figure
out
a
way
to
better
part.
D
Said
the
really
nice
thing
at
Friday
I
mean
no
matter
what
we
are
trying
to
work
as
one
for
those
in
life,
and
that
would
be
nice
to
ourselves.
How
we
did
this
one
with
me
within
this
country
together
and
360.
E
E
Descendants
for
the
beneficiaries
of
those
policies
and
there's
a
lot
of
wealth
going
around
and
a
lot
of
chest
pounding
of
people
of
anglos
that
profited
from
those
decapitations,
and
it's
sickening
to
continually
attend
these
meetings
and
see
how
ruthless
this
council
is
number.
That's
number
one
number
two
going
on
record
because
I
received
a
block
from
a
councilwoman.
E
That's
on
this
committee,
a
couple
of
years
back
for
the
big
money
to
give
out
on
these
meetings,
to
like
bolster
her
political
position
and
she's
listening
to
me
and
I
know
she
remembers
that
call
and
what
she
did.
Is
she
offered
me
money
to
a
non-profit
of
my
choice
to
come
to
these
meetings
and
bolster
her
Physicians
on
the
council
public
because
she
saw
what
I
was
doing
with
the
Renaissance,
so
she
wanted
to
pay
me
to
do
it.
It's
called
a
bride.
D
For
me
today,
my
word
is
I,
usually
transmit
much
with
my
word.
I
haven't
been
doing
that,
but
I've
gone
straight,
I
tried
going
to
the
harder
or
my
fear
of
democracy.
The
story-
democracy
with
the
future
of
the
energy
commission,
needs
to
really
talking
about
and
thinking
a
little
bit
more
openly
and
otherwise.
Yesterday,
I
don't
have
all
the
answers.
B
D
All
I'm,
pretty
shallow
and
I
I,
do
have
to
offer
the
difference
to
the
work
that
city
managers,
race
and-
and
you
know
the
city
government-
does
towards
clean
energy
issues.
I
don't
want
to
deny
it
at
all
it's
a
matter.
The
dialogue
has
to
be
occurred
towards
couldn't
be
involved
and
what
community
can
help
decide?
D
You
guys
saying:
oh
we'll
do
this,
you
just
don't
invite
the
community,
and
so
that's
why
I'm
worried
I'm
really
worried.
You
know
you're
just
doing
it
all
yourselves
and
just
taking
over
the
project
when
it
should
be
immunity
for
us.
Thank
you,
I
hope
you
can
work
on
it.
What
Paul
was
saying
about
the
memo
or
the?
What
is
that
I
can't
think
I
can't
think
of
the
term
now,
but
the
the
past
few
years,
the
public
comment
time
within
the
Council
agendas
have
been
deleted.
D
I
thought
we're
really
working
that
issue
to
clean
that
up.
I
know
there
was
some
problems
that
and
that
can
be
pissed,
and
you
reinstate
all
the
previous
public
comments
at
the
on
the
minutes
of
the
agendas.
I
can
very
gladly
want
to
help
with
that
process.
If
you
need
that
sort
of
help,
I'll
call
and
write
yourselves
and
ask
what's
going
on
with
that,
because
I
thought
it
was
an
issue
that
was
going
to
be
cleared
up
and
fixed
up.
So
that's
about
all
for
now.
D
I
have
a
few
more
things
to
say,
but
thanks
for
the
meeting,
I'll
try
to
be
mellow.
Thank
you
call
in.
B
G
User
yeah,
hi,
hi,
Martha,
O'connell
I,
think
you
skipped
public
record
I'm
addressing
my
letter
buy
another
mobile
home
residents
are
confused
and
disappointed
about
the
continual
failure
by
housing
to
mention
mobile
homes
when
they
discuss
preservation
of
affordable
housing
and
reports
to
council.
During
the
hours-long
425
council
meeting
on
Coppa,
the
word
preservation
