You
know
logging
on
so
just
give
me
a
minute
here
to
get
my
equipment
set
up.
A
Hand
it
over
and
and
share.
We
were
just
about
to
kick
it
off
and
and
call
roll,
so
you're.
All
yours.
C
All
right,
thank
you
for
filling
in
for
for
two
minutes.
I
appreciate
it
so
tony
roll,
please
arenas.
A
C
C
E
I'm
not
sure
where's
the
right
time
to
bring
up
like
procedures.
Meeting
procedures.
Is
that
like
on
page
one
or
two
like.
F
F
F
Seniors,
disabled
and
workers
who
had
to
get
up
early
quite
frankly,
dropped
off
our
speaker
list.
This
placement
of
issues
critical
to
underrepresented
groups,
so
late
in
the
agenda,
prevents
the
council
from
hearing
their
voices.
Another
example
about
three
years
ago,
mobile
home
folks,
were
kept
waiting
for
over
two
hours.
There
was
a
young
woman
of
color
sitting
next
to
me
with
a
baby.
The
baby
was
good
for
about
two
hours
and
then
it
started
fussing
not
screaming
not
yelling,
but
fussing.
F
A
security
guard
came
up
and
told
her
that
she
was
going
to
have
to
leave.
She
could
not
afford
child
care.
She
had
to
leave
that
meeting
and
she
could
not
give
her
input.
There's
a
feeling
in
the
community
that
the
council
does
this
deliberately
to
prevent
voices
on
controversial
issues.
I
do
not
share
that
view.
I
think
it
is
due
to
an
insensitivity
on
the
part
of
some
councils
and
some
mayors.
F
C
G
Hi,
thank
you
for
those
words
from
martha
o'connell
and
how
2.2
and
3.5
can
speak
to
the
eviction
moratorium.
G
Thanks
for
your
work
and
understandings
from
from
all
sides,
with
your
eviction
moratorium,
he
passed
last
night
to
simply
practice
how
to
make
clear
and
to
offer
again
kobe
19
seems
to
be
a
man-made
creation
made
up
and
planned
by
an
elite
select
few
everyday
people
should
not
have
to
be
blamed
and
then
held
to
its
debt
burden.
It
is
from
this
thinking,
along
with
the
belief
of
urgent
emergency
needs.
We
seem
to
have
agreed
as
a
society
to
cover
about
80
percent
of
rent
and
forgiveness
ideas
at
this
time.
G
How
do
we
organize
understand
and
convince
ourselves?
There
are
safe
financial
and
funding
plans
that
can
cover
the
final
20
percent
to
speak
to
vta
bus
station
issues
as
I've
spoken
before.
That's
item
2.13
bus
advertising,
as
I've
spoken
before,
I
hope
the
bta
will
establish
some
sort
of
advertising
ethics
review
board
and
public
process
review
for
any
new
large
advertising
that
is
placed
in
the
future
of
vta
transit
hubs.
I
ask
we
learn
how
to
keep
out
offensive
advertising
and
advertising
that
does
not
work
towards
the
ideas
of
equity,
reimagine
and
peace.
G
In
fact,
as
we
are
all
becoming
more
comfortable
with
the
ideas
of
state
funding
that
can
very
much
help
our
local
government
communities
at
this
time
and
with
the
vta's
own
good
accounting
adjustments
to
the
budget,
it's
at
its
own
budget
at
this
time,
is
it
possible
to
consider
scraping
all
together
the
large
advertising
plans
to
be
placed
upon
vta
bus
transit,
stops
and
kiosks
and
to
conclude
about
lethal
force
issues,
4.1
less
lethal
for
use
of
force
issues,
elbow
police
review
peer
police
peer
review
review
program
is
also
developing
well
and
can
offer
counseling
and
healing
to
both
police
and
everyday
community
in
real
time.
C
Thank
you,
the
number
indian
one,
five,
four
one.
F
Hi,
can
you
hear
me?
Yes,
hi.
My
name
is
glenna
halcroft
and
I'm
one
of
the
residents
in
mobile
home
park
in
district
seven,
and
I
was
at
the
meeting
last
night
talking
about
the
issue
of
rental
freezes
anyway,
there's
a
real
problem
with
I.
I
agree
with
martha
when
she's
talking
about
the
the
you
need
to
have
thing.
F
You
need
to
consider
the
people
that
are
that
are
seniors
parents
with
young
children
and
infants,
disabled
people,
essential
workers
who
can't
stay
there
a
long
time
and
we
didn't
we
weren't
able
to
speak
until
like
11
o'clock
at
night,
and
we
had
people
that
actually
dropped
off
of
the
phone
people
that
had
agreed
that
we're
going
to
speak
and
and
they
didn't
they
weren't
able
to
they
weren't
able
to
stay
on
the
phone.
That
long
and
so
please
take
into
consideration
that
you
know
not.
F
All
of
us
can
stay
up
late
for
one
reason
or
another,
whether
it
be
whether
it
be
somebody
young
with
babies
or
young
children,
or
if
it
be
somebody,
that's
older
and
disabled,
not
everybody
can
keep
long
late
hours
and
if
you
take
more
consideration
more,
be
more
cognizant
of
how
you
line
up
these
these
issues
to
be
covered
in
city
in
the
council
meetings.
That
would
be
much
much
appreciated.
C
Great.
Thank
you
all
right,
bringing
it
back
to
my
colleagues,
councilmember
cohen.
E
I
thank
you
jones,
my
I,
as
a
new
council
member,
I
have
been
observing
council
meetings
for
just
you
know,
participating
for
about
a
month
and
I
just
have
a
kind
of
a
suggestion
for
at
least
from
my
perspective,
for
what
I
think
could
allow
for
a
little
bit
more.
What
I
think
would
be
a
more
debate,
style
or
discussion
style
conversation
during
council
meetings.
E
E
I
think
it
might
make
more
sense
to
rotate
more
frequently
between
council
members
speaking
so
that
if
we
want
to
be
able
to
have
a
free
discussion
between
council
members
on
issues,
we
you
know
maybe
have
blocks
of
time
that
we
spend
for
each
council
member
to
move
through
the
list
of
hands
of
speakers
before
going
back
to
council
members
who
have
more
to
say
so,
maybe
some
kind
of
time
rule
on
you
know.
E
You
know
sooner
to
that,
before
going
back
to
somebody
who
wants
to
say
more
on
a
topic,
so
I'm
just
thinking
this
is
maybe
something
for
another
rules
committee
meeting
in
the
future
to
talk
about
how
we
provide
a
more
free-flowing
discussion
or
debate
during
these
topics
in
a
way
that
brings
voices
allows
the
voices
to
be
coming
through
more
readily
from
one.
E
You
know.
One
council,
member
after
the
other,
is
more
of
a
discussion
as
opposed
to
kind
of
a
long
line
of
council
members
speaking
one
after
the
other.
So
I
I
don't
know
if
anybody
else
agrees
with
that
or
want
or
if
we
want
to
have
that
conversation
now
or
the
future
date.
But
I
I
think,
as
I've
been
observing
the
meetings
I
feel
like.
E
Sometimes
we
end
up
with
council
members,
speaking
long
after
the
other
like
if
I
want
to
say
something
and
I
put
my
hand
up
and
I'm
speaking
an
hour
after
the
person,
I'm
responding
to
it's
sometimes
hard
to
be
able
to
have
that
discussion
with
that
other
council
member.
So
I
think,
if
we
maybe
say
you
know,
put
10-minute
time
limits
and
then
come
back
without
limiting
the
total
time
someone
speaks
but
kind
of
shortening
the
blocks
of
time
that
people
are
speaking.
E
You
can
have
a
more
more
of
a
conversation
between
council
members
during
the
discussion.
So
that's
kind
of
my
suggestion
of
maybe
how
we
open
up
that
discussion.
More
of
counseling.
C
As
you
know,
we've
tried
other
techniques
and
ideas
to
try
to
address
some
of
the
the
issues
around
continuity
and
conversations,
and
I
think
it
it's
worth
a
try,
but
I
definitely
want
to
hear
from
my
colleagues
to
see
what
they
think
can
I
see
council
member
arenas
raise
their
hand,
so
go
ahead.
H
Thank
you
that
could
be
a
perfect
example
of
interjecting
into
and
having
a
free
flow
conversation
right
and
on
the
other
hand,
it
also
could
be
a
an
attempt
to
interrupt
somebody
right
and
and
an
idea
and-
and
so
I
you
know-
we've
we've
been
playing
around
with
with
the
time
limits
for
for
quite
a
bit,
and
I
know
some
people
feel
very
strongly
about
them.
H
I
I
think
today
what
I
heard
from
some
of
the
speakers,
though,
was
a
really
an
opportunity
for
them
to
speak
and
to
have
time
certain
for
for
some
of
the
issues
that
are
important
to
them,
and
maybe
recognizing
during
the
rules
committee,
that
if
it's
a
senior
related
item,
that
we
consider
that
or
if
it's
a
more
familial
kids
to
bed-
and
you
know,
but
it
has
to
do
with
child
care-
or
I
you
know
what
whatever
that
item
is
that
we
have
time
certain
or
we're,
maybe
more
cognizant
of
that,
and
so
I
I
think
with
in
that
spirit.
H
I
also
like
to
bring
up
that.
4.1
might
be
one
of
those
topics
in
which
we
will
have
a
lot
of
speakers,
and
we
may
want
to
think
about
having
a
time
certain,
but
I'm
open
to
hearing
from
from
folks.
I
know
our
work
week
is
a
little,
for
us
is
a
little
flexible.
We
don't
really
come
home
at
a
certain
time
because
we're
always
home,
but
there
are
some
folks
who,
literally
you
know
they
just
their
in
real
person
have
at
work
is
somewhere
else.
C
Okay,
you
want
to
make
that
in
the
form
of
a
part
of
emotion
or
so
moved,
okay,
and
then
that
includes
the
add
sheet
as
well.
H
Including
the
add
sheet,
yes
and
I
don't
have
a
solution
for
councilmember
cohen,
what
you're
bringing
up
I
I
don't
have
a
solution
for
that
at
all,
because
we've
all
been
trying
to
brainstorm
on
that.
But
that's
my
piece.
Thank
you
great.
Thank
you.
D
Hi
this
is
tony
the
city.
This
is
tony
the
city
clerk.
I
want
to
clarify
the
motion.
This
is
item
4.1
and
you
said
at
the
beginning
of
our
evening
session.
We
don't
technically
have
an
evening
session.
So
do
you
want
that
not
before
six.
H
H
Yeah,
okay,
I
mean
I'm
open
yeah,
I'm
not
absolutely
open
to
that.
So
maybe.
H
H
I
don't
know
how
do
the,
how
do
the
cable
guys
deal
with
it
when
they.
C
H
Absolutely
frustrating
yeah!
Well,
I'm
I'm
I'm
open
to
the
idea.
I
don't
other
than
saying
to
have
the
item
between
six
and
eight
I
just
maybe
at
six
but
after
six,
but
not
be,
but
not
after
eight.
C
A
C
D
Give
us
a
reality
check
tony
yeah,
I'm
gonna
give
you
a
little
reality
check.
We
do
usually
for
dinner,
break
sometime
between
5
30
and
6
that
half
an
hour
to
an
hour.
So
if
you
have
not
before
six-
and
we
have
you
know-
I
just
wanna-
I
just
wanna
say
we
do
have
a
dinner
break
sometime
in
that
not
before
six,
but
not
after
eight
pm,
although
if
you
start
right
after
the
dinner
break,
it's
probably
not
an
issue,
but
just
wanted
to
make
sure
you
guys
were
thinking
about
that.
C
Right
now
I
think
that's
a
great
point.
Councilmember
reyes,
I
would
suggest
maybe
we
keep
it
simple
this
time.
At
least
we
got
the
conversation
going.
C
D
H
Have
so
it
could
start
at
five,
so
have
a
time
certain
at
five
closer
to
five
right,
half
an
hour
yeah
that.
D
Moment
start
the
presentation
can
can
happen,
but
we
do
not
before
six
and
we
take
a
six
pm
dinner
break.
It's
really
not
before
seven.
D
E
E
Okay,
I
mean
I
mean
so
not
before
seven,
then,
if
we
always
are
having
dinner
and
ending
at
seven
and
say
not
before
seven,
because
I
mean,
if
you
think,
there's
a
chance
that
that
would
end
that
we
would
not
be
ready
to
do
it
at
five
and
you
have
people
tune
in
at
five
and
then
you
end
up
going
till
six.
Other
people
take
dinner,
break
that
they've
tuned
in
at
five
and
had
two
hours
wasted
waiting
for
the
item
right.
E
H
So
if
it's
time
certain,
maybe
this
could
be
maybe
time
certain
at
5
30
and
then
that
way.
We
give
an
hour
of
comment
time
if
we
take
a
dinner
break
at
6
30
so
from
5
30
to
6
30.
I
Other
item
under
your
this
is
nora.
Let
me
just
jump
in
here
for
a
second
just
so
you
have
the
language
under
your
rules
of
conduct
the
time
certain
says
some
items
may
be
listed
on
the
agenda
approved
by
rules
for
a
time
certain
or
not
before
a
certain
time.
Such
listing
means
the
item
is
heard
as
soon
as
reasonably
possible
after
the
specified
time,
but
not
before.
I
So
you
might
want
to
think
about.
If
you're
worried
about
something
going
late
into
the
evening,
it
says
reason
as
reasonably
as
possible:
you're
going
to
have
it
heard
after
that
time,
so.
E
C
Okay,
let's
get
I
know,
councilmember
davis
wants
to
chime
in
so
let's
hear
from
her
and
then
we
can
come
come
back.
Councilmember
davis.
J
Thank
you
vice
mayor
council,
member
cohen,
I
really
like
your
idea,
as,
as
others
have
mentioned,
we've
been
trying
to
kind
of
play
around
with
it
and
and
determine
what
what
is
the
best
way
for
everyone
to
be
heard
and
and
to
frankly,
to
be
brief,
so
that
we
can
respect
the
the
residence
time,
especially
when
they're
coming
to
speak
on
a
later
item,
as
we've
heard
tonight
today,
that
can
be,
it
can
be
a
problem.
J
So
I
I
like
the
idea
of
doing
kind
of
like
five
minute
in
a
way
kind
of
opening
statements,
and
maybe
that's
all
you
have
and
and
and
then
letting
the
discussion
kind
of
flow
from
there.
I
think
that's
a
great,
I
think
five
minute
increments,
or
maybe
ten
but
five
minute
increments,
is
a
good
way
to
get
through
everybody
in
an
hour
right.
J
I
I
don't
think
it's
something
that
the
mayor
can
decide
you,
you
decided
coming
out
of
rules
a
couple
months
ago
to
try
the
15-minute
shot
clock
for
lack
of
a
better
term
yeah
and,
and
then
that
was
you've
been
following
that,
and
so
I
think
rules
can
put
together
a
a
proposal
and
that
would
be
adopted
by
the
council
may
end
up
in
your
rules
of
conduct.
That
may
be
the
best
place
for
it.
I
I
think
you
in
terms
of
a
timing.
I
think
you
were,
I
think,
the
last
time
you
did
the
15
minutes.
I
I'd
have
to
go
back
and
look,
but
I.
I
J
I
I
think
he
did
hear
it
rules
and
then
and
you
as
a
group,
you
sort
of
decided
you
were
going
to
live
with
it.
Is
you
know,
to
to
some
extent,
at
the
meeting
right.
J
Yeah,
it
was,
I
think
it
was
discussed
at
the
following
meeting
at
orders
of
the
day
or
something
like
that
right,
okay.
Well,
I'm
I'm
happy
to
support
the
kind
of
the
five
minute
round
robin
idea.
I
think
it's
a
good
one.
Regarding
item
4.1
and
the
time
certain
I
was
looking
at
the
agenda
before
item
4.1.
We
don't
have
there's
there's
one
item.
J
J
A
I
think
you
know
that's
a
great
question
councilmember.
I
think
there's
definitely
some
discussion
there
that
the
council
will
want
to
participate
in,
but
it's
clearly
not
going
to
be
the
length
at
least
what
I
would
believe
of
a
3.1
or
what
we
did
yesterday.
So
I
would
agree
with
you.
The
agenda
seems
somewhat
manageable,
where
you
might
not
be
bumping
up
against
the
dinner
hour
on
this.
J
So
I'm
comfortable
with
the
with
just
doing
a
time
certain
of
five
not
before
5
pm
and
then
we'll
just
take
the
dinner
break
after
that.
And
then
it
looks
like
we'll
come
back
for
land
use,
because
there
are
quite
a
few
general
plan
amendments.
It
looks
like
or
maybe
just
maybe
just
two
looks
like
the
other
ones
are
deferred.
C
Just
a
second
okay
thank
you,
councilmember
davis,
councilmember,
perales.
B
Yeah,
thank
you
appreciate
the
discussion
as
well,
and
I
think
you
know
we
have
kicked
these
challenges
around
for
for
some
time
things
like
hearing
items
really
late
in
the
the
evening,
sometimes
just
the
the
basic
setup
of
our
agenda.
We
have
a
traditional
order
right
and
we
were
recognizing
that
before
where
there
are
certain
departments
that
are
at
the
end
of
the
that
order
regularly
and
so
they're
always
kind
of
at
the
end
and
we've
we've
tried
to
be
conscious
of
that.
Sometimes
moving
that
I
don't
know.
B
If
there's
a
I
don't
know,
if
there's
a
perfect
solution
out
there.
I
do
think
that
you
know
if
it's
in
specific
regards
to
a
meeting
or
an
item.
I
think
we
can
address
that
here
at
rules.
If
it's
in
regards
to
time.
You
know,
I
think
limits.
We've
done
that
here
as
well,
that
rules
as
a
suggestion
and
then
the
council
has
taken
it
up
at
orders
of
the
day
as
nora
pointed
out,
and
I
think
that
can
be
done
again
right
here.
B
We
can
sort
of
make
a
suggestion
there,
but
I
think
if
it
goes
deeper
than
that,
where
we're
we're
looking
at
the
dynamic
of
the
conversations,
the
orders
the
time
all
that
you
know
as
councilman
cohen,
was
pointing
out
kind
of
potential
for
back
and
forth
or
whatnot.
I
I
do
think
that's
probably
a
broader
discussion
that
we
would
want
to
agendize
and
and
maybe
discuss
it.
B
I
I
think
it's
worthwhile,
because
certainly
we
we
shouldn't
assume
that
we
have
it
nailed
down
and
and
that
we
should
just
keep
doing
things
the
way
we've
been
doing
things
because
that's
how
we've
been
doing
them-
and
certainly
a
lot
of
you
know,
challenges
that
we've
run
into
in
that
regard,
in
what
we're
gonna
vote
on
now.
So.
C
That
was
council
member
davis's
recommendation
based
on
the
items
that
we
had
on
the
agenda.
B
Okay,
yeah
and
I
I'm
comfortable
with
that
and
kind
of
looking
at
the
agenda
too.
I
think
that
it's
not
going
to
be
as
meaty
one
thing
that
I
think
you
know
we
certainly
we
we
do
this
often
where
we
will
pick.
You
know,
sort
of
a
not
before
time
and
that
doesn't
always
you
know,
work
in
people's
favor
as
we
as
we
see
right
like
this
past
week,
not
before
six
could
mean
11
30
p.m.
B
So
so
maybe
you
don't
watch
the
meeting
up
until
six,
but
you're
still,
you
know
you're
still,
not
necessarily
speaking
on
an
item
at
a
reasonable
hour,
and
so
so
the
not
before
is
is
not
always
that
great.
Quite
frankly,
I
think
the
time
certain
right
gives
a
little
bit
more
certainty.
B
It's
not
perfect
right
because
sometimes
right
we're
we're
on
the
middle
of
an
item
and
and
as
norm
pointed
out
we'll
we'll
sort
of
wait
till
we
conclude
that
item,
so
you
try
to
get
as
close
as
you
can
to
a
time
frame.
I
think
that's
that
provides
a
little
more
certainty,
which
is
good
at
the
end
of
the
day.
You
know
I
don't
know
how
much
certainty
we
could
ever
provide
because
there's
things
like
the
consent
agenda
and
sometimes
we
fly
through
it
other
times.
B
You
know
10
items
get
pulled
off
and
you
know
it
just
makes
it
hard.
I
do
think
one
thing
that
has
been
a
tool
we've
been
utilizing
through
the
pandemic
that
has
been
helpful,
has
been
the
orders
of
the
day
and
moving
consent
after
3.1
and
not
necessarily
kind
of
essentially
saying
hey
3.1
is
so
important
or
we
know
it's
a
long
discussion
right.
We
want
to
get
the
idea
what
was
as
well
early
on
last
year.
B
B
I
think
that
should
be
a
tool
that
we
consider
here
at
rules
to
utilize,
even
beyond
the
3.1
items
that
if
we
ever
feel
there's
something
that
hey,
we
don't
want
people
to
wait
around
till
three
or
even
six,
with
an
uncertainty
time
certain
you
know,
is
there
something
that's
really
pressing
and
do
we
want
to
put
it
up
to
you
know
the
front
now
the
the
the
sweet
spot
challenge
there,
as
we
all
know,
is
that
you
know
there's
there's
a
there's,
a
disinterest,
I'm
wanting
to
hear
something
too
soon,
because
people
got
to
work,
and
so
you
know
you
hear
something
at
one
o'clock
and
a
lot
of
people
are
not
not
able
to
participate.
B
Did
you
hear
something?
11
30
and
not
a
lot
of
people
participate
and
unfortunately
we
can't
hear
everything
between
the
you
know
five
to
eight
time
frame.
It's
just
you
know,
there's
too
much
work
to
get
done
for
everybody
to
be
able
to
participate
in
what
might
be
a
sweet
spot
for
participation
again
kind
of
going
back
to.
I
think
that
broader
discussion
is
probably
you
know,
going
to
take
some
more
time.
B
So
you
know,
but
I'm
happy
to
kind
of
chime
in
on
that,
so
I
I
I
think,
I'm
I'm
comfortable
with
this
5
p.m.
Did
you
councilman
davis
did?
Did
you
make
that
suggestion
as
well?
That
would
that
be
the
motion
that
we're
we're
moving
forward
here
today
is
some
form
of
a
time
shorter
time
than
the
15
minutes
that
we've
been
suggesting.
That
was
that
part
of
that
or
no.
J
I
would
love
for
it
to
be
included,
but
if
you
wanted
to
come
back
as
a
memo,
I
think
councilmember
cohen,
and
I
would
be
both
very
happy
to
do
that
and
we
can
agendize
it
for
next
week's
rules.
Meeting.
B
Okay,
yeah,
I
thought
for
the
broader
discussion
that
was
fine.
I
also
think
it's
fine
if
we
want
to
raise
a
suggestion
to
the
council
on
on
a
you
know
something
different
of
a
time
limit
for
this
next
meeting
as
well.
I
I
you
know,
I
again,
I
you
know,
I
have
my
own
feelings
on
that.
As
you
all
know,
and
I
may
have
my
own
vote
on
the
way
I
feel
about
it,
but
I
think
it's
worth
discussions
because
there's
no
way
we
can
any
of
us
can
claim
we've
got
it
perfect
right.
B
B
Then,
with
the
motion,
as
is
I
don't
know
the
motion
comes
from
around
us,
did
you
want
to
shift
it
to
5
p.m?
Were
you
comfortable.
H
With
that
I
did
I
I
was
going
to
say
that
earlier,
but
you
know
we
we
take
turns
I.e
the
the
issue
with
waiting
in
line
right,
but
I
was
gonna
take
that
suggestion
from
councilmember
davis
that
she
just
finished
speaking.
Yes,
I
I
like
that
time
not
but
not
before
5
p.m.
C
C
And
the
eights
all
right.
Well
then,
I
walked
that
back.
Then
it's
not
gonna
impact
it.
Okay,
all
right
so
councilmember
cohen.
E
E
As
far
as
the
time
certain,
I
think
I
think
we
ought
to
consider
in
the
future
being
even
more
specific
on
time
certain
because
I
think,
as
we
said
before,
saying
not
before,
doesn't
really
guarantee
anything
and
I'm
I'm
more
concerned
about
people
coming
as
councilmemberalla
said
tuning
into
a
meeting
and
then
still
sitting
there
for
five
hours
because
they
were
told
it
won't
be
before
five
o'clock
and
it
still
comes
at
10
o'clock.
I
mean
you
know.
E
Last
night's
example
you
know,
I
don't
think
anybody
anticipated
that
the
meeting
would
go
as
long
as
it
did
last
night,
and
so
we
didn't
plan
to
put
that
item
at
11
o'clock
last
night.
It
just
happened
that
way,
because
other
items
went
much
longer
than
we
expected.
We
could
have
said
that
item
won't
be
before
seven
or
before
eight
and
and
really
felt
that
it
probably
would
have
been
around
seven
or
eight
and
it
came
at
11..
E
So
it
seems
to
me
that
there
should
be
a
way
to
figure
out
more
times
certainty
on
items,
whether
it
means
suspending
a
discussion
to
get
to
a
time
certain
item
for
ones
that
we
feel
need
to
be
at
certain
times
or
whether
there's
ways
to
order
things
so
that
the
items
we
know
will
go
longer
get
put
at
later
times,
so
that
we
can
get
to
items
that
need
to
have
you
know
exposure
earlier.
E
So
we
might
have
to
think
about
how
we
set
some
time
limits
on
those
public
hearings
or
put
like
a
time
limit
on
the
hearing
and
then
come
back
to
the
hearing
later
in
the
meeting
or
something
so
maybe
say
we're
going
to
have
a
two-hour
public
hearing
and
then
finish
it
after
we
go
to
some
time
certain
items
so
that
we
can
get
some
business
done.
E
While
people
are
well
well,
we
have,
while
we're
at
a
reasonable
time
for
people
and
that
would
have
to
go
along
with,
like
the
suggestion
I
wrote
up
before,
so
that
everyone
has
a
chance
to
participate
during
the
you
know
time
certain
part
of
it
early
and
then
participate
again
during
the
time
certain
part
late,
because
we
don't
know
because
we
never
know
how
long
those
those
public
hearings
are
going
to
go
so
anyway.
Those
are
my
thoughts,
but
I'm
certainly,
I
think,
that's
what
you
should
all
think
about
as
we
go
forward.
C
No
definitely,
I
think
those
are
all
really
good
suggestions
and
I
can
say
that
I'm
willing
to
try
anything
and
see
how
it
works.
So
you
know
let's
try
to
brainstorm
and
come
up
with
some
some
ideas
and
some
solutions
to
have
the
meetings
run
smoother
so
on.
So
we
have
a
motion
and
did
I
do
we
get
a
second
on
emotion,.
A
D
K
Good
evening
vice
mayor
chappie,
I'm
requesting
to
speak
on
the
last
item
that
you
just
had.
I
was
just
able
to
get
on
so
I'm
asking
the
council's
permission
to
speak
on
the
last
item.
C
On
the
the
agenda
for
february
night,.
K
Yes,
go
ahead,
paul,
okay!
Thank
you.
I
appreciate
that
I
just
wanted
to
state
with
with
respect
to
what
councilman
cohen
was
saying.
I
would
like
it
if
we
can
possibly
have
a
conversation
or
agenda.
Is
it
in
a
prioritization
method?
What
I
mean
by
that
is
all
coveted
issues
that
are
copied
related.
We
know
what
they
are
rent
the
hazard
pay.
You
know
the
coveted
report
that
those
are
something
completely
separate
because
they
are
all
connected.
K
The
reason
why
my
logic
is
this:
I,
as
a
citizen
and
being
deprived
of
two
two
things
due
process
and
equal
protection
under
the
law,
as
a
citizen,
I'm
being
deprived
of
the
democratic
process
to
engage
in
it
and
that's
a
constitutionally
protected
right,
and
so
I
would
ask
attorney
freeman
to
really
explore
that,
because
that's
what
I'm
being
denied-
and
I
would
like
those
protected
and
advocated
for
because
these
these
this
last
night
should
be
embarrassing
for
certain
people.
That
meeting
should
be
very
embarrassing,
very
embarrassing.
K
I
was
embarrassed
by
it
very
embarrassed
and
ashamed
that
of
what
has
been
what
is
becoming
of
us
when
we
have
that
level
of
disrespect
and
and
complete
apathy
and
indifference
towards
the
suffering
that
is
going
on
in
the
city
that
you
vowed
as
a
to
protect
the
constitutional
rights
of
the
citizens
that
you
are
a
representation
of.
So
I
would
ask
that
that
just
that
a
prioritization
all
covered
related
issues,
one
separate
council
meeting
and
then
the
other
you
know
as
such.
Thank
you
thank.
C
You
paul
do
any
of
my
colleagues
wish
to
change
their
vote.
Based
on
that
public
comment.
G
Hi,
thank
you.
Thank
you
for
the
words
of
paul
soto,
to
try
to
add
a
bit
to
that.
If
I
can,
I
have
a
public
comment.
I
want
to
speak
about,
but
yeah.
I
wanted
to
thank
yourselves
for
the
for
the
care
that
you
took
on
that
last
item.
Paul
soto
mentioned.
Maybe
there's
a
way
you
can
have
all
the
cobit
19
issues
between
1,
30
and
5,
and
then
between
5
and
9
o'clock.
G
You
can
have
you
know
like
a
a
different
set
of
items
that
you
know
the
most
important
items
of
the
night.
Of
course
you
can
vary
bad
and
have
the
specialized
covet
issues
between
five
and
nine,
but
maybe
what
paul
said
to
have
a
block
of
the
cobit
issues
each
week
between
one
and
four
gives
people
a
consistency
and
then
five
to
nine
I
mean
to
have
you
know
the
the
most
important
items
of
the
of
the
evening.
That
would
be
really
cool
and
then
the
remainder
you
know
after
that.
G
So
thanks
a
lot
to
simply
offer
you
know
to
clarify
myself.
You
know
it's
rent,
freeze
issues.
I
guess
you
voted
on
last
night
and
just
a
thank
you
to
all
sides
and
how
you
negotiated.
That
was
very
nice
of
you
of
everyone.
Thank
you.
I'd
simply
like
to
remind
that
with
the
ceremonial
lighting
of
city
hall,
for
martin
luther
king
is
a
very
good
time.
G
Thank
you
with
17
15
seconds.
You
know,
reimagine
and
equity
ideas
are
really
important,
good
stuff
and
we
shouldn't
be
afraid
of
them,
and
they
should
be
ideas
that
we
can
talk
about
openly,
and
I
guess
we're
at
the
next
stage
of
how
to
talk
about
them
openly.
Basically,
so
good
luck
to
our
efforts
in
doing
that.
Thank
you.
C
All
right,
it's
been
moved
to
the
second
hit.
Tony
arenas.
H
Yes,
tony,
I
apologize
thank
you.
C
C
G2,
which
is
the
457
plan
resolution
councilmember
davis?
Would
you
like
to
speak
to
this
first
or
go
to
public
comments.
K
It's
a
bit
frustrating
to
discuss
these
issues
of
finance,
especially
considering
council,
woman,
davis's
vote
last
night
and
not
just
the
vote,
but
the
way
that
she
voted
to
give
to
lend
any
legitimacy
to
her
position
on
these
types
of
finances.
K
I
mean
how
many,
how
much
cognitive
dissonance
does
one
have
to
overcome
in
order
to
understand
that
we
have
to
prioritize
the
resources
in
this
city
and
the
direction
that
they
are
going,
because
human
beings
are
dying
in
your
city.
Human
beings
are
dying
in
your
city
and
they
are
dying
through
neglect.
Neglect
is
an
action.
It's
an
act
of
omission.
K
There
is
an
omitting
of
an
act
that
compassion
and
understanding
should
compel,
and
so
this
is
I
it's
embarrassing
for
me
to
come
to
my
city,
the
city
of
my
birth,
the
city
of
my
legacy,
the
city
of
my
ancestors,
and
talk
to
adults
and
talk
to
representatives
of
my
city.
In
this
way,
it's
frustrating
and
embarrassing
for
me,
but
I'll.
Do
it
I'll?
Do
it,
because
I
know
who
I'm
advocating
for.
I
literally
represent
the
voices
of
literally
hundreds
of
thousands
of
our
citizens
in
this
city.
K
K
C
G
Hi,
thank
you.
I
wanted
to
speak
to
a
kind
of
retirement
plan,
planning
issues
and
from
the
last
item
can
I
hope
I
can
speak
to
him
on
this
item.
If
it's
okay
and
to
thank
paul
soto,
you
know
I'm
trying
to
to
learn
how
you
know
we
can
talk
about
retirement
plans
within
the
covid
framework
and
how
that
all
can
work
together.
I
hope
this
can
help
him
understand
understand
that
purpose.
G
G
It
has
helped
a
lot
in
my
thinking
and
decision
making
to
understand
the
severity
of
how
the
how
to
plan
economic
issues
and
cola.
Adjustments
for
the
year
2021
and
now,
interestingly,
can
be
of
help
with
current
questions
of
a
5.5
an
hour
raise
hazard
pay
for
frontline
grocery
workers
in
this
time
of
cobit
19.
G
G
in
what
was
referred
to
as
a
slippery
slope
at
last
night's
council
meeting
can
actually
be
some
of
our
decent
regular
practices
and
to
ask
that
if
we
simply
have
a
six-month
time
period
for
an
additional
five
dollars
an
hour
hazard
pay,
what
would
be
a
direction?
Could
we
go
into
2022
and
beyond
that
those
questions
could
become
more
clear
by
january
by
july
and
august.
G
J
Thank
you
vice
mayor,
so
this
memo
is
just
for
a
small
technical
change
and
I
held
it
all
of
all
of
last
year
because
there
was
so
much
going
on
with
with
covid
and
with
the
the
office
of
employee
relations
and
so
what
it.
What
it
is,
is
for
the
council
members
who
are
not
in
calpers
who,
who
chose
not
to
be
in
calpers.
J
What
what
those
of
us
who
who
chose
not
to
be
in
calpers,
were
in
or
are
in,
is
the
457
plan
which
is
usually
used
for
temporary
and
unbenefited
employees.
There
are
no
investment
options
in
that
plan,
which
wasn't
something
that
frankly,
I
knew
about
when
I
chose
it
that
that
it's
really
just
a
cash
account,
and
so
I
talked
with
jennifer
shmree
about
this,
and
I
see
that
you're
here
jennifer.
Thank
you
in
case.
J
My
colleagues
have
any
questions
and
there's
a
401a
plan
that
the
city
also
already
has
set
up
for
for
other
employees
and
I'm
not
sure
how
that
is
currently
used.
But
I
know
that
there
are
other
investment
options
in
that,
and
so
that's
just
what
I'm
asking
for
is
for
council
members
to
have
an
option
that
has
investment
plans
as
investment
options,
as
opposed
to
just
a
cash
account
or
calpers.
J
C
You
all
right,
it's
been
moved
and
seconded
jennifer.
I
don't
know
if
you
have
any
additional
input.
B
You
I
I
totally
support
this.
I
actually
as
an
officer,
I've
had
the
401a
plan
and
I
at
times
have
used
the
stable
option
when
I
don't
want
to
invest
anything
so
so,
if
you
have
the
457,
it's
not
it
is,
it
is
not
really
worth
much
so
I
I
agree
with
that.
My
only
question
was,
I
know,
typically
we'll
get
a
response
just
on
what
the
the
workload
or
it
sounds
like.
There
wasn't
at
least
a
formal
response
on
that.
So
is
this
just
not
a
big
heavy
lift.
A
Yeah,
I
don't
think
it's
a
very,
very
heavy,
lift,
okay,
great
yeah-
and
I
don't
know
if
nora
wants
to
speak
to.
I
think
the
attorney's
office
will
have
to
review
part
of
it
potentially.
So
I
don't
want
to
speak
for
the
attorney's
office,
but
from
hr's
perspective.
We
think
that
it's
something
that
we
could
manage.
I
And
my
understanding
is
that
our
office
has
looked
at
it
or
has
I
don't
know
if
there
are
any
new
issues
that
have
come
up,
but
I
know
we've
looked
at
it
and
and
I
don't
there,
nothing
was
flagged
for
me.
A
Yes,
it
is,
and
because
it
kind
of
dealt
with
the
council
members
governing
of
their
own,
we
did
not
do
a
form
on
this,
given
kind
of
the
nature
of
it
have
been
discussed,
but
necessarily
yes,
it's
a
green
light.
B
J
A
C
Great
so
we
have
motion
in
a
second
tony
uranus.
C
You
all
right.
Next
item
is
g3
public
hearing
on
proposed
san
jose
water
company
rate
increases
and
I'm
going
to
go
to
the
public
first
and
paul
you're.
The
first
one
go
ahead.
G
Hi,
thank
you
I
mumbled
and
garbled.
My
last
words
from
my
last
comment.
I
hope
I
can
say
them
again
and
relate
it
to
this
item,
in
fact,
interestingly,
to
ask
that
if
we
simply
have
a
six
month
time
period
for
an
additional
five
dollars
in
hazard,
pay
now
by
july
and
august
of
this
year,
can
a
more
clear
direction
into
2022
and
beyond,
be
better
understood.
G
Thank
you.
You
know.
The
last
item
I
talked
about
this
seems
based
on
retirement
plan
meetings.
This
year,
2021
is
not
does
not
have
to
be
considered
so
much
an
inflationary
year.
This
water,
this
board
this
this
meeting
will
be
about.
You
know
how
to
possibly
raise
rates
into
2022..
G
We
could
be
very
well
covered
and
safe
in
for
2021..
It's
my
thinking.
How
can
we
continue
that
cost
of
living
to
be
flat
into
2022?
I
don't
know
how
to
do
that,
so
I
will
not
be
like
really
supporting
such
an
this.
This
measure
and
I'll
be
trying
to
ask
questions
how
how
we
can
continue
to
to
maintain
a
flat
curve
of
inflation
into
2022.
L
This
is
pj,
I
think,
pat
and
I
am
calling
to
address
the
this
item,
and
this
item
is
proposed
or
recommended,
I
think,
by
mayor
licardo
and
it
is
to
agendize
the
grc
general
rate
case
application
discussion
for
the
general
council
meeting
and
it
is
to
point
out
a
21
increase
in
water
rates
for
san
jose
citizens
and
that's
on
top
of
a
67
increase
since
2016..
A
L
L
L
K
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Vice
mayor,
I'd
like
to
echo
and
expand
on
blair
beekman's
and
the
previous
gentleman's
position
that
the
commodification
on
something
that
is
so
essential
and
absolutely
necessary
for
life.
That's
not
a
debatable
issue,
the
the
necessity
for
life
I
mean
for
water
or
for
shelter.
These
things
are
not
debatable
issues
I
think
we're
we're
not
doing
something
to
the
disadvantage,
to
the
poor,
to
the
impoverished,
to
the
red
line,
we're
not
doing
something
to
them.
C
If
not
councilmember
arenas.
H
I
moved
to
approve
the
the
item
and
I'll
tell
you
that
my
my
portion
of
the
district
that
is
struggling
the
most
during
this
pandemic
is
the
one
that's
going
to
be
hardest
hit.
This
is
the
service
area
that
that
that
will
have
this
23
increase
during
just
difficult
times.
Last
year
you
know
my
team
and
I
we
we
fought
really
hard
to
have
the
the
the
san
jose
municipal.
H
Water
rates
go
8.6
and
the-
and
these
are
this-
is
an
area
in
my
district,
where
you
know
it
isn't
as
lower
income
as
the
part
with
that.
H
That
will
impact
with
this
23
hike
and-
and
I
just
think,
during
the
pandemic,
we
really
should
be
cognizant
of
some
of
these
increases,
and
I'm
so
grateful
to
our
mayor
that
has
proactively
put
this
on
our
agenda
and
put
this
before
us,
so
that
we
can
have
all
of
our
voices
heard,
and
so
just
really
appreciative
and
and
and
fear
that
that
my
residents,
especially
those
that
are
struggling,
the
most,
are
going
to
have
a
really
difficult
time
making
ends
meet
and
keeping
water
in
their
homes.
C
Would
you
like
to
make
the
the
motion.
H
Oh
yes,
sorry,
I
started
out
with
emotion,
yes,
motion
to
approve.
Second.
C
And
and
tony
did
you
get
the
the
edition
that
I
made
about
the
march.
C
I
was
wondering
why
nobody
was
responding
to
me.
Yes,
I
I
wanted
to
have
include
in
the
motion
a
a
time
certain,
as
of
for
7
p.m.
For
the
march
16th
meeting
council
meeting.
E
Make
that
I
just
does
that,
do
we
know?
Do
we
know
that
the
folks
were
available
to
be
there
on
that
date?
I
mean
we.
I
know
he
said
that
they
invited
representatives
to
be
there
and
they
said
they
could
come,
but
do
we,
it
didn't
have
a
date,
because
the
memo
said
that
the
memo
have
a
date
on
it
that
they
were
coming.
That
date.
A
E
There
was
a
suggestion
of
having
cpuc
people,
cpuc
they're
represented
as
well.
Did
you
want
to
look
into.
A
That
council,
member
lee
wilcox
city
manager's
office,
I
think
we
would
talk
to
the
cupc
about
participating.
I
know
kerry
romanow
is
on
the
line
our
director
of
environmental
services
department,
who
has
been
in
discussion
with
the
water
district,
so
she
can
provide
more
timing
on
the
date
or
more
information
on
the
timing
of
the
day,
but
we
can
also
bring
this
back
in
a
future
horizon
report.
If
additional
flexibility
is
needed,
carrie.
F
Thank
you
great
point
to
all
around
and
I
think
it
makes
a
lot
of
sense
for
us
to
ensure
the
participants
we'd
like
to
be.
There
can
be
there
and
then,
as
we
suggested,
we'll
come
back.
C
I
One
thing
also:
do
you
mind
vice
mayor,
our
office
has
been
in
touch
with
the
cpuc,
the
public
advocates
office
and
we're
working
with
them
to
coordinate.
I
In
the
past,
we've
had
a
administrative
law
judge
come
down
and
be
part
of
our
formal
hearing
to
enhance
the
record
as
the
mayor
suggested,
things
are
being
done
by
zoom
now,
so
we
will
continue
that
effort.
We
don't
have
a
commitment
yet,
but
we'll
work
on
that.
C
All
right,
thank
you
very
much,
so
we
already
had
the
vote
on
the
original
motion
without
any
dates
attached,
so
we're
on
to
open
forum.
K
Paul
paul
soto,
again
attorney
freeman.
I
would
really
like
to
hear
your
logic
at
the
next
council
meeting.
I'm
looking
to
hear
the
actual
logical,
I
mean
legal
explanation
for
what
happened.
K
What
chappy
jones
with
mayor
chad
vice
mayor
chappie
did
is
councilman
mayhem
was
picking
from
forbidden
fruit
that
fruit
is
tainted
the
minute
that
chappie
introduced
it
so
anything
that
flows
from
that.
I,
as
a
citizen,
am
deprived
of
debate
that
is
untainted
from
that
perspective
and
as
a
citizen,
I'm
looking
to
you
to
protect
me
because
you
actually
work
for
me
that
that
I'm
I'm
counting
on
you
on
this
one,
because
I
please
somebody
extend
my
my
respect
and
my
gratitude
to
councilwoman
esparza
because
she
caught
it.
She
was
quick.
K
She
was
quick
and
she
she
caught
that.
Okay,
I
caught
what
everything
that
happened
in
that
meeting.
You
know
I
caught
the
perspectives.
I
I
I'm
aware
of
the
law.
No,
I'm
not
a
lawyer.
I
don't
have
to
be
I'm
a
citizen
and
I've
educated
myself
around
these
kinds
of
issues,
and
so
what
I'm
looking
for
is
your
legal
perspective
to
to
to
actually
dismantle
that
entire
conversation
that
has
to
start
over?
K
The
entire
thing
has
to
start
the
entire
process
was
tainted
and
the
the
one
that
is
going
to
be
victimized
by
that
being
tainted
by
the
forbidden
fruit
that
vice
mayor
chappie
introduced
and
that
mahan?
Actually
I
mean
he
repeated
what
the
cardinals
said.
Ricardo
told
him
what
to
say,
and
then
man
repeats
it
like
a
robot
like
he's
a
puppet
master
behind
the
scenes
telling
mahan
what
to
do,
and
I
know
you
saw
the
whole
thing
I
know
and
from
a
legal
perspective.
I
know
you
were
just
like.
G
All
right,
thank
you
to
try
to
complete
my
words
from
last
night's
open
forum
in
the
ideas
of
good
preparation
and
planning.
Natural
disasters
like
wildfires,
sea
level,
rise
and
earthquakes
have
to
be
considered
included
in
envision.
2040
plans
to
prepare
for
natural
disasters
in
the
next
decade
around
the
sfa
area
should
not
be
an
excuse
to
continue
to
avoid
and
hide
good,
open
public
policy
ideas
and
practices
or
inhibit
the
development
of
open,
progressive,
sustainable
ideas
and
projects.
G
We
should
not
have
to
give
up
on
quality
or,
for
instance,
good,
renewable
energy
ideas
and
practices
simply
because
of
a
possible
natural
disaster.
Events
in
the
bay
area
in
the
next
five
to
ten
years
and
into
the
2040s
a
final
reminder
that
it
is
sustainable
ideas
and
good,
open
public
policies
that
can
offer
a
quicker
return
to
our
better
human
nature
after
a
natural
disaster
event.
G
Thank
you
with
the
previous
item
of
the
water
board.
It
just
dawned
on
me
and
occurred
to
me
that,
with
such
a
very
high
raise
in
rates
that
you're,
possibly
going
for
of
25,
did
I
hear
correctly
that
are
23,
that
that
sounds
like
that.
You're
considering
like
to
create
and
to
organize
a
large
subsidy
plan
for
such
a
high
rate
increase
and
I've
been
working.
G
I've
been
attending
east
bay,
community
energy,
local
community
energy
meetings,
they've
done
the
same
practice,
and
that
way
they
they
can
work
on
kind
of
a
tiered
system,
and
you
know
that
way
they
are
able
to
create
renewable
energy
and
with
with
totally
no
usage
of
or
minimal
usage
of
dirty
energy.
G
I
don't
know
how
good
of
an
idea
it
is,
but
it's
the
subsidy
idea
that
I
hope
can
be
talked
about
for
the
san
jose
water
company
and
that
that
has
a
whole
bunch
of
ramifications,
and
I
hope
that
