A
A
A
A
A
A
A
A
B
Jasmine,
take
it
away
roll
call,
please.
B
B
And
I
was
so
excited
about
you
doing
the
roll
call.
I
even
I
skipped
calling
the
meeting
to
order.
So
there
you
go
so
I
want
called
me
nowhere
to
join
me
for
the
rules
and
open
government
committee
and
committee
of
the
whole
already
called
roll.
I
see
that
council
member
braless
has
joined
us,
so
let's
get
started
and
we
are
going
to
start
with
the
agenda
for
march
23rd.
B
And
we're
gonna
start
out
pages
four
and
five.
C
Mayor
this
is
lee
just
heard
from
staff
as
well
as
the
mayor's
office,
but
asking
if
3.3
can
be
time
certain
for
7
pm.
Since
we
do
have
san
jose
water
company
personnel,
that's
been
the
time
coordinated
with
them
was
not
reflected
in
the
agenda.
B
D
Hi
roy
beekman
here
happy
wednesday,
mid-march
yeah.
I
wanted
to
combine
there,
there's
housing
items:
how
to
talk
about
water
department
issues,
there's,
there's
valley,
water,
there's,
san
jose
water
and
there's
there's
covered
rental
issues
that
are
all
on
this
next
week's
agenda
that
are
important
to
myself
and
I
think,
can
be
connected
to
the
covid
era,
issues
of
things.
D
It's
my
personal
feeling
that
you
know
we
have
to
as
much
as
we're
learning
how
to
understand
the
concepts
of
rent
forgiveness.
That's
the
part
of
this
council
agenda
and
what
it
really
means
and
what
owners
have
to
really
consider
the
era
where
we're
in
at
this
time
with
kovid.
You
know,
I
I
feel
it's
really
important.
We
have
to
learn
not
to
hurt
each
other,
and
what
can
we
do
to
not
hurt
each
other
and
learn?
You
know
to
understand
it's
really
difficult
for
people
and
people.
D
That
is
just
a
pain
in
the
butt
to
all
of
us,
and
there
is
ways
that
you
know
that
that
can
really
take
care
of
every
single
owner
every
single
apartment
owner,
so
they
don't
have
to
you
know
be
in
their
own
debt
burden.
You
know
why
force
that
onto
local
tenants,
you
know,
and
it's
the
same
with
the
with
the
water
issues
coming
up
you're
going
to
hopefully
start
a
subsidy
program
for
water
issues.
D
C
F
Let
me
can,
I
just
ask:
oh
I'm
sorry,
yeah
dave.
I
can
see
you're
right
here.
That's
okay,
the
the
items
on
emergency
rental
assistance
and
also
on
homelessness
seem
to
me
they
might
draw
interest
and
we
might
be
able
to
do
something
I
mean
I
don't
know
how
we
can
do
it
all
the
time
we
have
one
time
certain,
but
but
the
item
eight
three,
but
probably
even
more
so
item,
eight
two
on
encampment
and
abatement
homelessness.
F
B
B
That's
a
good
point.
Otherwise,
we'd
have
we'd
be
in
a
situation
where
we'd
actually
have
to
break
up
the
discussion,
because
the
seven
o'clock
time
certain
is
is.
C
If
I
could
suggest
vice
mayor
council
member,
the
the
way
this
agenda
is
going
to
flow
is,
after
the
sixes,
we're
actually
going
to
jump
over
to
land
use
and
take
care
of
those
first,
and
so
the
eights
will
be
heard.
Last
but
again,
there's
probably
not
enough
on
the
agenda
for
you
to
get.
You
know
to
dinner
time
for
those
to
be
heard
so.
C
Correct
so
I
would
suggest
you
know
not
to
be
heard
before
four
o'clock
and
when,
if
you
guys
are
still
in
that
conversation
or
when
seven
o'clock
comes
around,
you
would
get
through
that
item
and
just
hear
the
water
item
and
then
come
back
to
the
eighth
okay.
F
E
Well,
we
have
open
audit.
I
think
I
saw
open
audit
report
and
intergovernmental
relations
report.
Oh
yeah
before
that,
so
I
think
four
seems
reasonable.
A
A
B
You
so
on
to
the
march
30th
agenda,
and
I
see
that
on
pages
four
and
five
I
see
the
closed
session
scheduled
to
start
at
9
30.
Should
that
be
a
9
o'clock
start
time.
A
Hi,
this
is
tony.
We
actually
already
changed
it
to
9
a.m
and
it's
been
posted
on
the
website.
It's
9
a.m.
The
original
draft
we
sent
out
an
hour
ago
had
it
at
9
30.,
so
that
has
been
fixed.
F
Nine
on
the
top
of
nine
number
3.3,
when
we
took
a
vote
we
kind
of
changed
a
it,
didn't
necessarily
have
those
specific
times
in
it.
Remember
we
just
sort
of
said
we
would
refer.
I
think
we,
I
don't
remember
exactly
how
we
rewarded
it,
but
the
final
vote
that
we
took
at
rules
changed
aid
just
to
say
you
know,
discuss
potential,
I
don't
know
I
mean
I
would
come
up
with
some
wording
for
that,
but
I
don't
think
it
specifically
had
that
that
item
a
saying,
10
minutes
anymore
in
it
right.
B
Yeah
I'm
trying
to
remember
back.
I
know
we
kind
of
went
back
and
forth
on
that,
so
there
was
a
discussion
about
keeping
it
pretty
broad,
but
there
was
also
a
discussion
of
having
a
specific
suggestion
and
just
using
it
as
a
starting
point.
I.
F
F
B
B
B
B
D
All
right,
thank
you.
I
believe
you've
been
here
for
this
item
to
start
with
you're
doing
things
about
tow
service
issues,
and
you
know
I
just
learned
that
the
aclu
is
going
to
be
suing
pacifica
over
their
toe
practices.
You
know
we're
trying
to
develop
new
toe
standards,
basically
all
across
the
bay
area.
At
this
time
the
aclu
is
taking
pacifica
to
court
over
the
issue.
Mountain
view
is
working
on
toe
issues.
Fremont
is
working
on
toe
issues.
D
Berkeley
is
working
on
toe
issues,
there's
a
lot
of
grumbling
and
so
is
san
jose
and
there's
a
lot
of
grumbling
going
on.
I
think
the
city
of
palo
alto
has
developed
a
really
good
system,
really
a
human
rights
system
based
on
human
rights
practices
that
I
think
you
know
again
really
look
into
each
city
has
their
own
program.
D
They
want
to
follow,
but
I
think
palo
alto
has
created
a
really
good
example
to
really
learn
from,
and
I
advise
we
you
seriously
consider
there
are
a
couple
other
items,
oh
about
the
sideshow
issues.
I
again,
you
know
it's
my
feeling
that
you
know
you're
gonna
come
up
with
upcoming
county
task
force.
Work
on
that
issue,
learn
to
invite
the
aclu
when
to
invite
care.
D
You
know
to
the
process,
and
I
I
think,
if
you
talk
about
in
terms
of
what
could
be
open
and
accountable
practices,
that
would
invite
the
sideshow
people
themselves
to
consider
well
they're,
taking
this
seriously
and
they're
trying
to
be
fair
in
in
deciding
these
things.
I
think
you'll
have
a
much
better
dialogue
about
how
to
you
know,
address
the
situation
basically,
and
I
said
that
a
few
times
I
hope
you
can
take
this
advice
and
with
whatever
time
I
have
left,
I
have
three
seconds
left.
So
thanks
a
lot.
B
We
can
contain
a
motion
motion
to
approve.
Thank
you.
I
see
councilmember
reyes,
you
also
have
your
hand
up
as
well.
G
Hi
too
vice
mayor,
so
I
wanted
to
have
a
bit
of
a
conversation
around
time
certain
and
it
it
seems
like
our
our
agenda
is
packed.
So
I
wonder
if
if-
and
it
seems
like
the
the
kind
of
the
meteor
discussions
will
be
anti-displacement
and
just
some
housing
items,
and
so
I
I
guess
I
wanted
to
hear
from
maybe
lee
in
terms
of
what
he
thinks
about.
G
Well,
let
me
take
a
step
back,
so
we
had
the
the
police,
staffing
and
and
then
audit
report,
and
then
the
police
conduct
work
plan,
and
there
was
I
heard
back
from
from
community
who
were
holding
on
since
since
the
beginning
of
our
meeting
from
1
30,
and
then
they
dropped
off
and
said
you
know
we
we
can't,
we
can't
continue.
G
No,
it
wasn't
from
1
30
I'd
lie.
I
think
it
was
from
later
on
in
the
evening
and
so
are
no
are
no
no
earlier
than
5
p.m.
Sets
to
try
to
set
up
a
conversation
around
a
certain
time
and
try
to
get
residents
to
call
in
certain
times.
I
think
didn't
work
for
us
this
just
yesterday,
because
that
item
didn't
it
wasn't
heard
until
10
in
the
evening,
and
I
think
we
only
had
like
three
speakers
and
I
knew
that
there
were
a
lot
more.
G
So
I'm
wondering
if
maybe
we
should
think
about
our
strategy
around
some
of
the
the
the
meteor
items
and
then
the
ones
that
will
are
second
to
the
to
in
terms
of
priority.
I
would
think
that
there
would
be
a
lot
of
folks
who
were
who
were
going
to
come
in
and
talk
about,
anti-displacement
and
also
a
lot
of
folks
are
going
to
be
well,
we'll
want
to
hear
8.3
and
8.4.
G
So
I'm
wondering
from
the
committee
should
we
do
a
time
certain
not
not
a
not
before
five,
but
at
six
pm
we
will
hear
anti-displacement
and
you
know
accommodate
the
the
agenda
that
way,
because
this
other
way
that
we
did
not
before
five
or
I
forget
what
exactly
what
it
was.
It
just
didn't
work
yeah.
B
G
Yeah,
because
at
one
point
I
did
see
like,
I
think
it
was
like
95
participants
and
then
by
10
o'clock.
It
was
you
know,
I
think
around
30
something
yeah.
So
so
a
lot
of
folks
dropped
off
and
I
can't
say
that
they
were
all
going
to
talk
on
this
on
that
those
particular
items.
But
you
know
one
can
assume
that
they
were
dropping
off
because
for
whatever
reason,
but
they
dropped
off.
So
should
we
schedule
make
a
time
certain
for
anti-displacement,
8.3
and
8.4
since
they'll
be
heard
concurrently.
G
And
so
I
guess
I'd
like
to
hear
from
my
committee
members,
because
I'm
I'm
going
to
propose
five
o'clock
or
six
o'clock.
If
we
want
to
hear
from
residents.
B
Oh
I'm,
supportive
of
that
for
all
the
reasons
that
you
stayed,
it
probably
would
say
six
o'clock
that
way
we
can
just
factor
in
dinner,
and
I
agree
with
you
but
but
you're
right
I
mean,
I
think,
a
time
certain
would
probably
work
out
better
for
the
public
to
be
able
to
have
an
expectation
when
approximately,
when
we're
going
to
be
able
to
hear
that
item.
B
Great,
thank
you.
Yasmine.
B
All
right
motion
passes
on
to
the
next
item,
which
are
meeting
schedules:
d1,
updates
on
senate
bill,
1383.
B
A
B
Okay,
so
we're
gonna
move
both
both
items
together.
So
you
asked
me.
B
A
D
Hi,
thank
you.
That's
quite
okay.
I'm
trying
to
figure
out
d
d.
One
is
about
residential
garbage
and
recycling
rate
study
session.
That's
what
thank
you
for
for
being
able
to
to
see
my
hand
was
raised.
I
wanted
to
really
stress
the
point
that
this
is
another
issue.
D
That's
going
to
deal
with
the
issues
of
subsidy
for
san
jose,
I
mean
there's,
there's
the
community
electricity
upcoming
water
garbage
is
the
the
concept
of
subsidy
has
to
be
a
subject
that
can
be
easily
talked
about
in
our
future,
and
I
I
don't
know
what
it
is
to
do
that
you
have
to
do
that,
but
it
has
to
be
that
way.
Something
has
to
be
explained
to
our
public
in
simple,
understandable
terms.
At
this
time
we
can't
continue
to
hide
around.
D
You
know,
propriety.
So
much
I
mean
alameda
county.
They
do
the
same
thing
and
they
offer
you
know
a
certain
amount
of
grace
and
coolness,
but
they
make
it
clear
to
their
public
that
you
know,
if
there's
a
subsidy
program,
they
can
apply
for
it
and
it's
needed
at
this
time
and
san
jose.
You
know
they.
The
word
is
footing.
I
guess
you
know
there's
a
little
bit
of
that
around
the
issue
and
we
can't
just
talk
about
it
straight
out.
D
B
D
Hi,
thank
you.
This
is
my
official
weird
one.
You
know
thank
you
for
the
letters
in
public
comment
this
week.
I
wanted
to
comment
on
them.
I
felt
they
were
really
nice.
They
I
think
they
tried
to
ask
and
describe
that
you
know,
for
east
side,
community
issues
and
for
issues
of
you
know
the
latin
hispanic
chicano
community,
anthony
mata,
could
be
could
make
for
a
really
good
police
chief,
and
you
know
I've
described
myself
my
feelings
that
you
know
he
has
an
indigenous
indigenous
nature
that
I
think
is
really
interesting.
D
That
I
think
could
be
a
you
know,
a
real
interest
in
the
next
five
or
ten
years,
how
we
talk
about
the
future
policing
and
that,
in
fact,
in
five
or
ten
years
time,
you
know
the
hispanic
latino
community
within
this
country,
I
think,
is
going
to
be
it's
going
to
have
a
real
important
voice
in
in
talking
about
our
political
future.
D
You
know
with
all
that
said
I
in
the
past
few
weeks,
I've
just
been
growing
a
bit
wary,
you
know
and
and
more
respectful,
respectful
of
you
know
the
insider-ness
that
you
know
mata
and
and
the
other
two
candidates
offered
and
was
starting
to
really
consider
scarado,
as
as
a
choice
from
the
outside
to
to
address
things,
and
I
just
hope,
deputy
mata
now,
chief
mona
can
really
we
can
all
work
together
to
address.
You
know
sj
poa
issues.
D
I
think
we
all
wanted
to,
and
I'm
hopeful
that
you
know
that
we
were
searching
for
a
progressive
candidate
and
that's
that's
good
news.
We
have
to
address
the
poa
and
we
have
to
address
technology
in
terms
of
open
public
policy
and
not
as
law
enforcement
in
the
future.
Good
luck
how
we
do
that.
B
Yes,
I
think
blair
blair,
based
on
due
to
his
advocacy
he
was
able
to
get
a
decision
made
to
appoint
our
new
chief
anthony
mata.
So
we're
really
excited
about
that.
So
great
job
blair.
B
Anyway,
so
we
have
a
motion
and
did
we
get
a
second?
F
B
Let's
move
and
second
it
going
to
public
comments,
go
ahead,
blair.
D
Hi,
thank
you,
yeah.
I
think,
most
importantly,
the
advocacy
that
I
offered
around
anthony
mata.
I
think,
if
it's
describing
that
we
can
talk
about
progressive
ideas
for
the
future
of
our
police
chief
to
address
our
issues,
that's
first
in
my
mind
at
this
time.
So
thank
you
for
that
about
it.
There
will
be
a
celebration
of
cesar
chavez
day.
I
guess
coming
up.
D
I
think
it's
kind
of
it's
been
turned
in
kind
of
a
month-long
experience
at
the
federal
level-
maybe
maybe
that's
city
of
berkeley,
but
nonetheless
you
know
at
the
end
of
march.
I
think
it's
an
interesting
time
and
it's
nice
that
it
is
his
birthday
time.
I'm
learning
the
expression,
el
pueblo,
ava
bencer
and
it's
an
interesting
expression,
and
you
know
it's.
Hopefully
all
of
us
can
rise.
I
guess
is
the
term
these
days
that
you
know
towards
a
future
and
our
future
goals.
D
B
A
I
know
I've
read
that
san
jose
is
only
really
guaranteed
two
seats,
there's
an
opportunity
to
at
least
get
up
to
five
seats.
If
you
choose
three
of
the
five
county
supervisors
that
are
from
san
jose
that
serve
san
jose
on
battalion
level,
even
up
to
seven
of
nine
to
consider
the
whole
santa
clara
county.
So
I
would
like
this
item
to
be
discussed
more
by
the
committee.
B
Thank
you
eugene,
and
you
actually
spoke
on
the
next
item
coming
up
so,
but
thank
you
for
your
input,
all
right,
bringing
it
back
to
the
committee
comments
motions.
B
B
Moved
that's
already
been
moved
and
seconded
all
right,
all
right,
jasmine.
H
B
All
right
next
item
is
ab
1091
and
I
will
go
to
the
public
comments.
First,
so
blair.
D
Hi
I
wanted
to
quickly
offer
there's
a
agenda
item
in
the
upcoming
weeks
that,
as
approval
of
s
state
interstate
85,
I
don't
know
if
it's
funding
or
if
it's
approval
of
the
committee
process,
that
the
bta
will
be
having
san
jose,
has
an
interesting
position
in
that
situation
that
they
can
help.
There's
a
new.
D
I
don't
know
where
the
new
place
new
era
of
talking
about
how
affordable
housing
issues
that
I
feel
can
be
an
important
factor
in
how
the
that
state,
interstate
85
committee
for
the
bta
makes
decisions
and
it's
not
to
finalize
anything,
but
I
just
think
it
can
to
practice.
Those
good
ideas
can
really
help
them
a
lot.
I
wanted
to
comment
more
on
this
exact
item,
but
I
I'm
a
bit
short
on
time
and
knowledge
about
it.
So
I'm
very
sorry
thank
you
for
your
time
and
patience.
B
I
Sure
vice
mayor,
that
would
be
helpful
to
the
committee
bennett
chain,
director
of
intergovernmental
relations
for
the
city.
I'm
joined
here
by
ramses
madhu
from
our
department
of
transportation
as
well.
So
just
very
briefly,
ab1091
by
assemblymember
berman
does
two
major
things.
First,
it
explicitly
prohibits
elected
officials
from
serving
on
the
vta
board.
Instead
jurisdictions
would
appoint
resident
experts
in
transportation,
project
management,
finance
and
executive
management
to
the
board,
and,
secondly,
it
reduces
the
number
of
board
members
on
vta
from
the
current
12
to
nine
and
changes
the
composition
of
the
board.
I
I
So
as
a
memo
states,
city
staff
has
very
strong
concerns
about
this
proposal.
First,
off
on
the
change
on
to
appointing
transportation
professionals,
we
think
there
are
already
many
opportunities
at
the
vta
for
transportation.
Professionals
provide
input
into
the
board
and
to
the
process,
including
the
citizens,
advisory
committee
and
the
technical
advisory
committee.
I
The
city
of
san
jose
would
only
be
guaranteed
two
seats
out
of
nine,
and
it's
true
that
you
know
there's
possibility
that
additional
residents
from
the
city
of
san
jose
could
be
appointed
through
those
board
of
supervisor
seats,
but
it's
not
guaranteed
and
in
fact,
the
board
of
supervisor
board
of
supervisor
districts
are
drawn
so
that
only
one
of
those
districts
has
solely
the
city
of
san
jose,
the
other
board
of
supervisor
districts.
We
share
with
other
surrounding
neighboring
cities.
I
So
we
think
that
this
is
a
problem,
because
there's
a
there's
a
couple
of
facts
here:
first,
the
city's
population
is
53
percent
of
the
counties
and
remember
we
also
saw
some
data
around
the
annual
boardings.
I
So
from
this
data,
we
think
it's
very
clear
that
the
city
of
san
jose
comprises
the
majority
of
the
population
and
the
users
of
the
vta
system
and
staff
is
very
concerned
about
losing
the
voice
and
the
representation
for
transit,
writers
and
users
from
the
city
of
san
jose
on
the
vta
board
and
for
those
reasons,
we're
recommending
an
opposed
position
on
this
bill.
So
with
that
we're
happy
to
answer
any
questions.
B
E
Thank
you
and
thank
you
bennett
for
bringing
this
to
us.
I
read
about
it
in
the
paper
and
I
was
a
little
concerned
immediately
and
so
I'm
happy
to
to
move
this
staff
recommendation.
It's
the
just
to
be
clear
for
the
community
that
what
we're
doing
today,
the
staff
recommendation
is
to
adopt
an
oppose
but
to
recommend
that
this
be
agendized
for
the
march
23rd
meeting
for
full
council
discussion
on
this
item,
and
so
that
is
what
I
am
moving.
Thank
you.
F
I
have
been
I'm
a
little
bit
unsure
yet
about
opposing
the
bill,
because
I'm
I
have
been
a
little
bit,
I'm
not
I'm
not
convinced
that
the
current
method
of
of
running
the
vta
board
is
working
and
that
having
elected
officials
who
have
otherwise
responsibility
over
other
parts
of
you
know
other
jurisdictions
and
all
the
time
commitments
they
have
running.
Vta
board
is
the
right
approach,
and
so,
while
I'm
not
totally
sold
on
the
approach
in
this
bill,
I
think
that
there
is
some
potential
to
improve
governance
of
vta.
F
Having
said
that,
I
I
certainly
think
that
we
would
need
to
work
to
try
to
get
more
representation
for
san
jose
in
the
bill,
and
I
so
there's
a
potential
potentially
to
support
to
sort
of
push
for
an
amendment
to
the
bill
for
the
numbers
as
a
without
necessarily
fully
opposing
bill.
But
I'm
I
think
it's
worth
having
this
conversation
with
the
whole
council
on
the
I
guess
it
would
be
for
the
30th
is
that
the
proposal
is
even
for
next
week.
F
B
Duly
noted,
councilmember
perales.
H
Yeah,
thank
you.
I
I
have
a
solid
opinion
on
it.
I
think
we
should
send
a
message
of
opposing
it
and
I
don't
think
this
is
the
this
is
not
the
solution.
This
was
not
done
in
collaboration
with
the
cities
here
locally,
certainly
not
with
us,
and
this
is
really
an
independent,
I'm
getting
an
echo
sorry.
H
This
is
really
an
independent
opinion
and-
and-
and
I
and
personally
I
just
don't
agree
with
the
you
know
the
description
of
of
how
the
board
within
you
know
the
by
assembly,
remember
berman,
the
board
would
be
would
be
comprised
of.
I
also
am
more
than
open
to
discussing
what
would
you
know
what
would
potentially
the
future
of
board
governance
be
even
to
the
tune
of
you
know,
does
vta
have
its
own
elected
board
members
just
like
bart.
H
This
is
not
that
and-
and
I
would
not
at
all
support
this-
and
I
don't
think
this-
this
does
not
equitably
benefit
the
city
of
san
jose.
If
you
actually
looked
at
that,
we
should
actually
have
six
board
members
on
bta's
board,
not
even
the
five
that
we
have
today,
so
this
is
going
absolutely
backwards.
H
I
think
we
need
to
send
a
strong
message
of
opposed,
because
this
is
not
at
all
something
that
I
think
this
city
should
be
considering
and
and
that
if
we
are
willing
to
have
a
conversation
around
board
governance
and
if
we
wanted
to
do
so
more
robustly
than
what
bta
is
doing,
I
I
could
support
that
because
vta
has
engaged
in.
You
know
over
a
year-long
conversation
now
on
board
governance,
and-
and
you
know
I
don't
necessarily
think
that's
that's
going
anywhere
in
this
direction,
so
I'm
actually
okay
with
it.
H
The
city
wants
to
engage
in
that
differently,
but
this
is
not
something
I
could
support.
So
I
I
don't
know
I
mean
I'm
okay
if
we
wanted
to
forward
this
to
the
full
board,
but
if
we
maybe
from
city
manager's
office,
maybe
lee
you
could
help.
If
the
rules
committee
wanted
to
just
not
send
us
to
council
and
instead
just
oppose
it,
could
we
do
that
or
or
would
we
have
to
send
this
to
the
council
anyways.
C
My
understanding
is,
you
know,
with
a
bill
like
this,
we
probably
have
some
indirect
things
in
the
legislative
guiding
principles
that
align,
but
we
have
yet
to
actually
talk
about
it
and
so
through
the
intergovernmental
relations
program.
The
larger
council
does
need
to
take
a
position
on
a
bill
like
this,
so
you
would
need
to
forward
it
because
there
isn't
enough
cover
in
the
existing
program
for
us
to
take
action
on
on
our
own
or
which
is
the
rules
commit.
H
B
Thank
you
councilmember
and
as
a
person
who
actually
participated
in
the
board
governance
enhancement
process
and
we
spent
literally
hundreds
of
hours.
I
worked
with
a
consultant
and
looked
at
every
different
type
of
you
know:
board
governance
structure
and
we
didn't
identify
or
weren't
able
to
identify
any
structure
or
any
boards
out
there.
B
Any
different
agencies
in
the
country
that
we
felt
were
more
effective
or
had
a
different
makeup
or
structure
that
was
going
to
make
vta
more
effective.
B
So
I
don't
see
where
this
bill
has
gone
through
any
of
that
type
of
rigor
or
or
process,
and
so
I
would
be
strongly
opposed
to
to
the
bill,
and
so
we'll
have
to
have
that
further
discussion
at
council,
but
I
I
just
I
don't
feel
that
this
bill
is
a
good
bill
for
the
vto
or
for
the
city
of
zla,
and
if
there's
no
other
comments,
we
have
a
motion
in
a
second.
So
in
council
member
policy,
you
still
have
your
hand
up.
Did
you
have
anything
else?
B
Okay,
next
is
the
update
to
the
january
2021
june
2021
transportation,
environment
committee,
work
plan
and.
B
D
Hi,
thank
you
for
your
words
council
person
jones
today.
I
want
to
consider
for
myself.
D
D
You
know
it
can
be
a
place
that
we
can
all
really
ask
him
to
to
work
towards
things
and
with
this
progressive
mentality.
Hopefully
that
can
happen.
There
were
a
couple
issues.
Last
night,
you
know
we
have
real
serious
problems
talking
about
overtime
issues.
It
seems
you
gave
a
good
guidelines
of
what
you
work
with,
which
was
you
know,
I'm
learning
to
respect
and
consider
you
know,
cities
of
oakland,
there's,
there's
a
group
called
the
anti-police
terrorism
project.
D
They've
been
doing
incredible
work
in
oakland
with
the
city
of
oakland
to
really
define
the
future
of
overtime
issues,
and
you
know
that's
something.
That's
on
the
horizon
that
you
really
have
to
consider
and
like
what
I
said
yesterday,
you
really
have
to
consider.
You
know
the
future
of
policing
is
not
getting
to
that
magic.
D
1200
number
again
I
mean
it
may
be
a
goal,
but
you
know
there's
there's
other
goals
that
really
have
to
be
considered
in
the
future
of
policing
in
san
jose
that
I
hope
you
learned
it
it
can
be
safe
and
that
it
can
be
okay
to
talk
about
more
with
20
seconds.
You
know
I
I
am
working
on.
You
know
how
city
government
meetings
should
work.
D
Please
consider
I
understand
that
there
has
to
be
a
way
that
hopefully
explain
things
more
clearly
and
more
openly
and
and
more
smart
offer
more
information.
You
don't
have
to
fear
offering
that
information.
That's
my
two
cents
thanks!
Thank.
J
J
Our
our
3-1-1
system
is
really
not
working
very
well
and
not
to
be
picky,
because
I
know
everybody
is
really
busy
with
covet
and
it's
been
a
challenging
experience,
but
like
reporting,
potholes
and
things
like
that,
I've
made
lots
of
calls.
I've
made
I've
written
emails,
I've
filled
those
forms,
the
potholes
are
still
there.
I
ride
a
bike,
so
I
almost
fall
into
him
on
winchester
and
williams
and
the
other,
and
the
other
thing
is,
though,
the
project
out
in
front
of
where
I'm
living
at
now
there's
a
phone
number
on
there.
J
It
says
call
if
you
have
any
concerns
and
it's
been
dead
for
over
a
year
and
I've
reported
it
not
that
I
have
any
concerns.
There
was
a
time
I
ran
over
a
nail
which
they
were
nice
enough
to
offer
to
pay
for,
but
the
nail
was
on
the
other
side
of
the
street
and
I
felt
that
wasn't
fair
to
them.
So,
but
it
brought
my
mean
that
when
I
went
on
the
other
side
of
the
street,
there
were
nails
that
were
had
fallen
and
I
tried
calling
that
number.
J
If
a
young
person
had
walked
down
that
way,
they
could
have
stepped
on
one
of
those
nails
and
it
was
dealt
with
and
the
federal
is
really
trying
to
do
really
well
over
there.
But
it
seems
like
if
you're
going
to
run
the
city
have
concerns,
and
you
have
a
complaint
based
that
drives
the
city
to
work
on
these
things.
If
that
part
of
it
isn't
working,
that's
sort
of
counterproductive
and
that's
all
I
have
to
say
thank
you,
sir.
B
Thank
you,
brian
and
feel
free
to
reach
out
to
my
office,
or
we
also
have
virtual
office
hours
as
well
so
reach
out
to
us.
That's
it
for
public
speakers
being
is
adjourned.
