A
Today,
your
long
meeting
last
night,
we
will
commence
our
rules
and
open
government
committee
and
committee
of
the
whole
for
June,
17
and
I'll
note
for
the
record
and
joined
by
councilmembers,
Arenas,
Davis
and
chemists,
and
so
I
believe
we
have
a
quorum,
also
see
counselor
as
far
as
a
present
and
we'll
start
with
a
review
of
the
agenda
for
June
23rd
I'll
ask
my
colleagues
if
they
have
any
changes,
beginning
on
pages
5,
&,
6,
I
assume
we
are
continuing
with
our
pattern
of
11:00
a.m.
meetings.
A
A
A
C
A
D
I'm
hoping
I
can
speak.
The
item
to
point
you
today
on
your
on
the
first
agenda
in
relation
to
mixed
fuel,
use
ordinance
of
things
I'd
like
to
compliment
in
yourselves
in
the
attempts
to
use
less
natural
gas.
Please
consider
the
positive,
sustainable
local
Community
Energy
options
that
are
available
with
local
energy.
We
have
talked
and
plan
for
years
and
decades
now
how
to
make
important
humanistic
changes
with
city
government
community
practices.
D
To
also
note
there
can
be
examples
of
many
positive
sustainability
ideas
that
were
growing
parallel
with
the
evolution
of
the
quoted
19
virus
and
it's
following
pandemic
in
2020
with
the
many
disaster.
Capitalism
practices,
the
past
20
years,
I
hope
we
are
learning
now
how
social
change
can
take
place
simply
with
the
commitment
to
continue
a
good
dialogue
in
negotiation
and
that
we
can
end
the
drastic
use
of
state,
violent
or
state-sponsored
violence,
harm
and
mass
death
for
long
term.
Social
engineering
and
social
planning
needs
simply
with
the
ideas
of
good
guidelines
and
good
practices.
C
E
A
E
A
F
C
C
A
A
D
Yeah
hi
for
this
item
or
for
this
council
agenda
I,
think
I'm
interested
in
item
3.4,
which
is
about
smart
wave
technology.
It's
part
of
a
whole,
it's
a
company,
I
guess,
and
it's
a
part
of
whole
of
a
whole
series
of
items
that
can
be
used,
implemented
tools
for
your
help.
That
I
think
include
ideas
as
far-reaching
as
broad
as
a
rat
traps,
and
it
can
do
you
know.
Smart
technology
with
rat
traps
and
I
have
a
feeling.
This
can
be
connected
to
new
IOT
ideas
that
you
have
and
with
what
I'm.
D
Assuming
is
the
geofencing
that
your
is
is
being
built
in
the
downtown
area
and
I
thought
this
would
just
be
a
time
to
just
mention
the
power
of
geo,
fencing
and
its
future,
and
it's
it's
a
very
formidable
piece
of
technology
and
for
yourselves
to
develop
open
public
policy
guideline
practices.
We
can
all
look
at
and
understand
that
could
just
be
easily
accessible,
I
think
that's
really
important
for
our
future
and
that
you
always
leave
that
part
out
and
how
you
talk
about
the
future
of
innovation
with
technology
and
I
wish.
D
Yeah
that,
and
along
with
smart
streetlights,
you
know
the
street
light
monitors
that
guide,
how
fast
street
lights
change.
That's
those
are
two
important
pieces
of
technology
of
our
future
in
San
Jose
and
to
have
good
policies
that,
with
that
is
important.
The
ideas
of
data
collection
with
the
census
at
this
time,
I
think,
can
give
really
important
examples
of
what
are
good
civil
rights
and
civil
protection
practices
and
with
data
collection
and
good
luck
with
this
issue
in
the
future.
Thank
you
thank.
C
D
All
right,
can
you
hear
me?
Yes,
thank
you
for
a
familiar
subject
that
I
wish
could
be
talked
about
a
little
more
recently
with
all
the
police
talk
right
now,
all
the
there's,
a
level
of
dialogue
around
the
state
and
federal
government
at
this
time
that
can
address
rent
forgiveness
issues
for
both
owners
and
tenants
in
open
and
positive
terms,
I
feel
the
current
level
of
dialogue
can
keep
people
from
all
sides
out
of
harm
in
danger.
D
Please
learn
to
avoid
raster
and
patient
decision
making
and
how
we're
trying
to
reach
final
decisions
on
how
cares
act
and
heroes
act
can
can
offer
really
smart,
intelligent
ways.
We
can
all
be
involved
in
a
process
of
rent
forgiveness,
help
avoid
confusion.
It
is
up
to
ourselves
to
have
an
open
good
dialogue.
What
is
possible
at
this
time
interesting,
interestingly,
this
can
raise
ourselves
as
a
whole
community
effort
towards
our
better
human
nature,
and
these
are
the
ideas
that
I
think
you
know
we're
trying
to
understand.
D
What
can
be,
you
know,
are
our
ideas
of
equity
and
just
good
logic
and
a
community
whole
that
we're
all
trying
to
understand
and
work
towards,
and
you
know,
I
I
just
hope.
We
can
be
open
with
ourselves
about
these
subject
and
not
be
closed-minded,
and
you
know
just
real,
combative
and
hostile
I
hope
we
don't
do
any
of
that
I.
We
just
we're
trying
to
give
the
best
parts
of
ourselves
right
now
in
a
really
tough
situation
and
I
just
hope
we
can
do
that
for
each
other.
Thank
you.
A
F
So
these
they're
for
two
different
schools
and
my
kids
attended
those
two
schools
in
the
last
school
year.
One
of
the
schools,
my
child-
will
not
even
be
at
next
year,
but
I
did
want
to.
We
have
to
put
these
through
this
way
and
I
give
to
a
lot
of
the
schools
in
my
district,
especially
because
many
of
them
did
not
get
to
have
their
fundraisers
this
spring.
So
why
they're
all
coming
at
the
same
time.
Thank.
C
A
Think
I.
Second,
yes,
ok,
pologize
all
right
on
the
motion,
all
in
favor
aye.
The
motion
all
right
moves
forward.
Item
5
is
the
equity
pledge
and
I
know.
Council
member
Ramos,
of
course,
is
with
us,
as
is
I,
think
council
member
Esparza,
with
either
of
you
like
to
speak
on
this
before
we
go
to
the
public.
H
Wonderful
well,
thank
you
mayor.
We
wanted
to
move
this
forward
as
well.
First
of
all,
just
something
I
need
to,
and
I've
never
done
before,
which
is
just
say
that
that
there
a
potential
of
a
brown
act
violation
there
wasn't
any
violent
brown
act
violations
because
I
sent
this
email
to
everyone
asking
for
your
pledge
to
commit
to
equity.
H
Of
course,
I
didn't
have
any
discussions
with
anybody
and
we
stopped
it
pretty
soon.
Thank
you,
Rick
for
helping
us
do
that,
so
that
we
could
then
make
sure
we
didn't
have
any
any
any
violations,
and
so
I
just
wanted
to
to
first
acknowledge
that
and
the
reason
that
this
is
on
on
on
rules
schedule
is
because
I
what
we
wanted
to
make
sure
that
we
incorporated
the
whole
council
and
the
only
way
that
we
could
do
that
is
by
putting
it
in
front
of
Council
and
I.
H
Think
with
what
we
are
facing
at
this
moment.
I
think
it's.
It's
is
appropriate
and
I've
been
wanting
to
have
a
lot
of
conversations
with
everybody
here
who
I'm
not
in
the
brown
act,
went
on
equity
and
as
well
as
members
of
our
council,
larger
Council
and
so
I
think
it
just
gives
us
an
opportunity
to
to
make
a
pledge,
and
for
us
to
for
this
to
be
symbolic.
H
We
also
want
to
be
part
of
that
solution
and
we
will
hold
equity
as
the
cornerstone
to
what
we're
going
to
do
in
the
next
phase
of
this
government,
as
we
see
changing
before
our
eyes
and
so
I
think
it's
it's.
It
just
provides
us
an
opportunity
to
to
be
able
to
to
do
that.
There's
another
item.
There's
two
items
on
the
memo
band.
One
of
the
items
can
go
into
the
work
plan.
I
think
that
Dave,
you
said
yesterday
could
come
before
us
I
think
by
and
and
so
we
can
place
that
item
there.
H
We've
never
really
defined
it
for
ourselves
and
we
haven't
included
our
community
to
help
define
it
for
us
are
with
us
and
so
I
think
this
just
begins.
That
kind
of
that
kind
of
process
of
healing
of
conversation
and
really
taking
a
stance
on
on
equity
and
so
I
hope
that
you
all
can
support
this
this
memo.
So
we
can
move
it
forward
and
we
can
have
this
discussion
with
the
rest
of
the
council.
Thank.
I
Talking
about
equity
and
a
lot
of
leaders
in
the
community
were
really
hopeful
actually
after
the
protests
and
wanting
to
raise
this
issue
up,
and
so
this
pledge
was
actually
developed
after
studying
what
some
of
the
other
offices
equity
at
cities
throughout
the
country
have
been
doing.
So
it
incorporates
a
lot
of
the
best
practices
and
really
came
out
of
the
goals
and
the
desire
to
bring
these
conversations
to
the
broader
community
and
and
I
believe
some
other
cities.
I
Some
other
mayors
and
other
cities
are
also
have
signing
this
pledge
and
talking
about
this
pledge
and
about
incorporating
it
into
their
work
as
well,
and
so
you
know
I'm
really
hopeful.
After
the
discussion
we
had
last
night
hearing
everyone's
commitment
about
moving
forward
and
I
think
that
moving
ahead
it'll
be
really
helpful.
To
have
this
discussion
as
a
council
to
talk
about
the
pledge
and
in
public
and
really
show
the
community
that
one
we've
heard
them
too.
I
A
You
thanks
to
both
of
you,
for
bringing
it
forward
happy
to
support
mental
before
it
had
a
question,
though
customers
you
mentioned,
that
other
mayor's
are
supporting
our
moving
forward.
As
you
say,
this
pledge
is
it?
Is
it
uniform?
Is
there
like
a
national?
Is
this
part
of
a
national
where
this
was
created,
and
so.
E
I
A
D
D
I've
always
tried
to
suggest
the
community
meeting
place
as
a
place
to
really
you
know
just
work
it
out
between
all
of
us
and
I
think
that's
the
way
to
really
create
a
good
relationship
for
everyone.
What
we're
trying
to
build
at
this
time
and
with
the
events
that
are
going
on
right
now,
it
could
just
help
so
much
in
so
many
ways,
and
it
was
so
many
issues.
So
thank
you.
D
Please
remember:
it
is
better
public
policies
at
the
local
level
across
the
country
at
this
time
as
an
important
factor
how
to
help
open
up
many
important
concepts,
positive
democratic
practices
and
long-term
community
sustainability,
and
it
specifically
meant
to
address
the
ideas
of
both
the
initial
idealism
of
equity
and
the
more
established
ideas
of
what
can
be
equality.
I
hope
it
is
becoming
clear.
D
C
Thank
you,
yes,
I
received
a
copy
of
the
equity
pledge
and
I
was
really
excited
to
read
it
I
thought
it
was
very
timely
and
I
think
I
would
guess,
but
many
people
that
make
their
residence
in
San
Jose
I
want
everybody
to
have
to
have
an
ear
of.
What's
going
on,
to
feel
that
they're
being
listened
to
and
I
like
the
investment
of
it
I,
don't
feel
that
it's
an
absurd
amount
by
any
match,
but
an
easily
and
I
feel
it's
very
appropriate
during
this
time
and
I.
C
Think
it's
a
fantastic
message
and
I
think
people
would
respond
and
I
think
anything
that
encouraged
conversation
like
the
equity
pledge
would
is
a
great
benefit
to
raising
the
tide
so
that
everybody
can
can
become
better
off
in
our
city
and
I.
Think
it's
a
great
encouragement.
I
applaud
those
who
are
proposing
it.
Okay,.
G
Yeah
so
I
want
to
thank
council
Mertz,
parson
Terrenas
for
putting
this
forward
and
and
I'm
very
supportive
of
it.
But
I
could
tell
you
that
you
know
I
I
know
we
were.
We
think
that
equity
is
going
to
to
solve
a
lot
of
our
divides,
whether
it's
a
socio-economic
divide,
digital
divide,
what-have-you
and
I.
Think
it's
gonna
go
a
long
way
in
doing
so,
but
I
can
tell
you
that
equity
isn't
the
only
answer.
G
G
It
wasn't
great
to
when,
when
you're
growing
up,
but
what
I
mean
by
personal
responsibility
is
to
I
want
to
have
this
country
is
one
of
the
greatest
countries
for
opportunity
in
the
world
and
I
feel
like
we
have
to
focus
on
positives
and
I
feel
like
we
keep
keep
focusing
on
negatives.
I
know
we
have
to
solve
the
inequities
and
I'm
very
supportive
of
it,
but
I
think
if
we
don't
start
discussing
personal
responsibility,
we're
gonna
miss
the
point,
because
we
have
to
teach
our
children
that
they
can
achieve.
G
You
know
all
those
movies
about
people
that
are
made
they're
not
made
about
rich
people
getting
richer
they're
made
about
poor
people
getting
rich
or
you
know,
or
achieving
some
kind
of
goals.
I
could
tell
you
that
they
can
make
a
movie
about
my
life
and
I
feel
like
I've
gone
from
from
a
place
where
I
feel
I've.
You
know
my
family
and
I
were
not
in
the
socio-economic
place
that
we
are
today,
but
I
feel
that
we
are
there
today
because
of
personal
responsibility.
G
More
than
anything
else,
I
know
that
my
skin
looks
whiter
than
than
most
people
and
I
may
had
some
white
privilege.
But
when
you
don't
speak
the
language
that
doesn't
help
either
and
so
I
think
I
think
we.
We
have
to
start
weaving
in
personal
responsibility
into
this
dialogue,
and
we
cannot
just
rely
on
things
that
the
city
does
to
help,
because
the
city
also
isn't
the
solution
for
everything
and
and
and
for
achieving
closing
the
these
social
inequities
that
have
been
built
up
for
years.
G
It's
important
that
we
drill
into
our
youth
enter
and
our
community
that
you
can
achieve
and
and
to
try
and
to
flip
this
conversation,
so
that
we
can
that
we
can
actually
make
impact
and
and
give
people
hope,
rather
than
let
them
feel
that
they're
suffering
under
oppression.
I
could
tell
you
that
my
family,
even
though
we
felt
discriminated
against,
we
didn't
let
that
slow
us
down
and
I.
A
J
E
E
Responsibility
is
resolutions
like
these.
You
cannot
close
one
eye
and
tell
our
kids
that
it's
beautiful
without
really
telling
them
the
reality
of
what
they're
living
and
you
cannot
lie
to
them
about
the
systemic
racism
that
they
are
living.
We
have
to
tell
them
that
they
are
being
oppressed,
because
that
is
the
truth,
and
that
is
the
only
way
our
kids
will
ever
be
successful
is
if
we
tell
them
the
truth,
you
can't
paint
butterflies
and
give
them
beautiful
images
of
what's
not
there
for
them.
E
You
can
say
that
because,
as
you
said,
you
have
some
white
privilege
with
your
skin
color,
but
our
kids
don't
and
I'm
not
gonna
lie
to
my
kids
on
a
reality
that
is
not
built
for
them,
so
that
was
a
very
insensitive
comic.
Quite
disgusting
me
as
a
mother
as
a
brown
mother,
to
hear
someone
in
my
city
council
talk
like
that,
and
you
cannot
say
it's
personal
responsibility
is
the
world
that
we're
living
in
for
years
we
have
been
oppressed,
you
cannot
live
on.
H
You
I
just
wanted
to
thank
the
speakers
for
calling
in
and
for
adding
to
the
perspective
when
all
voices
are
heard
and
acknowledged.
I
think
that
creates
a
more
richer
discussion
for
all
of
us,
and
so
this
is
exactly
why
we
need
this
equity
pledge
in
front
of
us
so
that
we
can
sort
sort
this
out
and
be
able
to
have
a
very
transparent
and
honest
conversation,
and
so
I
hope
that
that
all
my
colleagues
can
support
it.
Thank
you.
Thank.
G
Mayor
I,
this
is
exhausting.
I
am
constantly
having
my
comments
taken
out
of
context.
I
am
supporting
the
play.
I
am
supporting
a
pledge,
I
didn't
say:
I
wouldn't
I
just
said
that
we,
you
know,
we
have
to
have
this
dialogue
extended
and
you
know
I
again,
I'm
I,
don't
know
what
to
say
to
the
caller,
except
that
I
don't
disagree
with
you.
I
just
think
that
we
need
to
broaden
the
discussion
and
I
think
that
it,
you
know
not
allowing
people
have
a
different
opinion
to
speak
up
tearing
them
down.
G
You
know
if
everybody
is
truly
wanting
this
dialogue
and
has
an
open
mind,
then
let
people
speak
their
mind,
don't
make
them
afraid.
I
have
people
in
my
district
that
refuse
to
to
come
and
do
comments
because
they
don't
want
to
be
ridiculed.
They
don't
want
to
stand
out.
They
don't
because
they
have
a
different
different
opinions.
I
have
a
different
opinion.
Don't
I
have
a
right
to
that
opinion.
G
You
know
it's
important
for
us
to
have
a
dialogue
unless
all
of
us
want
to
you
know,
have
it
the
same
if
we're
all
going
down
the
same
path
and
there's
no
difference
of
opinion,
you
know
you
know
that,
then
what
what
you
know,
what
what
good
is
a
council
if
we
don't
have
different
points
of
view
and
I,
don't
think.
My
point
of
view
differs
with
the
council
that
much
I
just
think.
I
have
a
different
perspective.
G
My
life
and
I
feel
that
I
have
a
right
to
say
these
things,
because
I
want
people
to
be
optimistic
in
this
city
because
we
live
in
a
good
city
and
I
think
that
this
is
a
very
well-run
city
and
I
really
love
the
passion
that
our
council
has
for
solving
the
community's
problems.
We
I've
never
been
part
of
a
body
that
wants
to
achieve
so
much
and
and
and
I'm
gonna
stay
strong
and
speak
my
points
of
view.
G
Despite
all
the
negative
comments
that
I've
been
getting
and
I
hope,
my
colleagues
can
support
my
opinion
every
once
in
a
while,
because
I
feel
that
I
do
add
to
this
conversation,
things
that
everybody
should
be
considering,
there's
nothing
wrong
with
educating
people
about
first
on
responsibility
and
I'm
I'm
gonna
keep
talking
about
it.
Oh
sorry,.
A
Think
as
a
city,
we
want
much
more
than
that.
We
want
a
real
dialogue
and-
and
we
want
honest
dialogue,
so
I
appreciate
your
perspective.
Appreciate
also
the
perspective
of
the
caller.
The
member
of
the
community,
who
also
spoke
up
I,
think
we
have
to
recognize
as
council,
member
I
believe
councilor
anus
might
have
been
I'm,
not
sure
which
of
my
colleagues
said
it
a
little
bit
earlier,
but
we
haven't
really
come
to
a
common
agreement
about
what
exactly
equity
is.
A
This
is
a
really
important
dialogue
to
have,
and
hopefully
we
can
have
it
with
a
safe
space.
Obviously
it
doesn't
mean
people
aren't
going
to
disagree.
Of
course
will
disagree
and
let's
do
it?
Let's
just
do
it
clearly
and
let's
do
it
in
a
way
that
is
civil
and
constructive,
so
we
can
all
get
to
a
better
place
as
a
city.
This
is
a
very
frightening
time.
I
know
for
an
awful
lot
of
folks
who
are
suffering
mightily.
A
People
who
I
did
not
grow
up
with
white
privilege,
as
I
did
I
know,
are
suffering
enormously
and
having
a
lot
of
very
painful
memories
resurrected
and
we
have
to
collect
we
as
a
community
have
these
very
difficult
conversations.
So
hopefully,
in
that
spirit,
we
can
all
move
forward
and
I'm
happy
to
support
the
memorandum.
Any
other
comments
all
right
on
the
motion.
All
in
favor
aye.
F
D
A
A
So
I
think
you
were
to
received
a
replacement
memo
a
few
minutes
ago
after
we
put
this
memo,
there
was
a
member
of
the
council
who
had
concerns
with
what
we
were
doing
and
honestly
I.
Don't
feel
all
that
strongly
one
way
or
another
I
just
want
to
be
fair
to
the
commissioners
who
haven't
even
had
I.
Think
several
of
the
many
meetings
for
many
months
and
several
those
commissioners
came
to
us
said:
hey.
Can
we
have
some
extension
on
our
term?
K
A
K
Speaking
as
the
clerk
we
do,
the
recruitments
we
have.
We
have
several
applicants
like
Arts
Commission
I
have
26
applicants.
We
don't
have
the
conflict
of
interest
memos
back
yet
so
I
would
like
to
extend
them
at
least
until
August.
So
we
can
get
the
conflict
of
interest.
Memos
done,
get
those
over
to
Council
and
then
get
the
nominations
back
from
council
cuz.
We
will
not
be
able
to
have
them
done
by
June
30th.
We
tried,
but
you
know,
kovat
has
increased
the
workloads
for
people
throughout
the
departments,
so
we
just
it
got
slowed.
K
A
K
August
31st
would
give
us
enough
time
because
we've
already
sent
the
packets
over
for
the
conflict
of
interest
checks.
Those
usually
take
two
to
three
weeks
to
get
back
to
us
they're.
Taking
slightly
longer,
we
are
bringing
back
a
bunch
of
appointments
that
we've
already
received
like
Youth
Commission.
We've
got
almost
all
of
those
ready
to
go
so
those
are
coming
on
the
30th,
but
once
we
get
those
conflict
of
interest
memos
back,
then
we
usually
give
the
council
two
to
three
weeks
to
get
their
names
back
to
us.
K
A
A
C
Yes,
hello
mayor:
this
is
Karen
Martinez,
the
trustee
from
the
evergreen
town
of
a
school
board
area
and
I'm,
calling
with
regards
to
this
item
on
item
6
and
it
just
because
being
in
living
and
district
size.
We
have
a
lot
of
issues
when
it
comes
to
to
art
in
our
community,
and
this
is
a
we
express
ourselves
and
it's
critically
important
that
we
have
an
opportunity
to
be
allowed
to
do
that
and
I
understand
the
circumstances,
but
district
5
I
feel
personally
being
a
resident
who's
lived
here
for
40
plus
years
I'll.
C
G
L
Hello,
mayor
and
councilmembers
I
wanted
to
address
this
item.
The
reference
member
extends
current
commissioner
terms
by
six
months
from
June
30th
to
December.
31St
I
actually
would
like
to
recommend
a
change
to
extend
the
terms
for
a
full
year.
As
you
know,
the
Commission's
have
not
been
able
to
meet
since
the
shelter
in
place
to
in
effect
in
March.
L
We
still
have
no
idea
when
Commission's
will
be
able
to
meet
again,
as
we've
been
repeatedly
told
that
we
cannot
meet
via
zoom
as
an
Arts
Commissioner
we're
facing
a
major
deficit
in
our
arts
budget
due
to
the
decimation
of
the
t,
o
T,
which
will
be
almost
non-existent
for
the
foreseeable
future.
We
need
experienced
commissioners
more
than
ever
to
continue.
The
work
that
is
going
to
be
needed
through
this
coming
year.
L
Allow
the
extent
allowing
the
extension
of
the
commissioners
to
serve
until
June
2021
will
keep
the
Commission
on
board
inconsistent
with
the
City
Clerk's
current
practices
of
commissioners
terming
out
in
June
and
new
commissioners
beginning
in
August.
There
might
be
some
commissioners
who
do
not
wish
to
extend
their
terms,
but
for
those
that
do
I
ask
that
you
please
extend
us
to
June
2021.
Thank
you
for
your
consideration
and
I
yield
the
rest
of
my
time.
Thanks.
D
Hi,
can
you
hear
me?
Yes,
thank
you
with
this
item.
Thank
you
that
it's
actually
on
the
agenda
this
week
on
the
on
the
rules
and
open
government
agenda.
It's
a
nice
reminder
to
me
that
you're
actually
you're
making
the
effort
and
what
can
be
you
know
the
good
public
process
and
I.
Thank
you
for
that.
I've
been
I've,
been
you
know
mentioning
all
these
weeks.
The
importance
of
the
community
meeting,
process
and
I
think
it's
a
really
good
way
to
describe
the
term.
D
How
and
how
equity
can
be
a
real
relationship
between
government
and
its
community,
and
that's
my
own
personal
feeling,
what's
needed
to
be
at
stake.
I
feel
there's
ideas
of
equity
that
ask
that
can
create
better
opportunity
for
people
who
don't
have
the
opportunities
and
answer
a
councilperson
Camus
a
bit,
and
it
helps
with
that.
D
C
Am
Francis
Abear
chief
of
staff
to
council
member
karrasco?
She
wanted
to
express
her
opposition
to
extending
these
Commission
terms,
currently
she's
the
liaison
to
the
Arts
Commission,
which
has
a
few
seats
that
are
up
in
the
coming
months,
and
we
have
done
recruitment
since
January
for
the
Arts
Commission.
We
have
a
robust
set
of
applicants
that
are
willing
and
able
to
serve.
C
When
we
look
at
the
issues
of
equity,
we
have
a
lot
of
people
from
our
district
that
want
to
be
there
and
that
want
a
seat
at
the
table
and
as
we,
okay
art
as
a
form
of
healing
this
would
be
a
great
opportunity
for
many
of
the
residents
throughout
San
Jose
to
have
their
first
opportunity
to
serve
on
a
commission.
Six
months
is
much
too
long.
We
understand
that
there
may
be
issues
with
a
delay
with
the
clerk's
office
and
getting
some
of
the
conflict
of
interest
forms
back.
But
this
is
a
great
opportunities.
C
E
Hi
I
sent
a
call
and
say
that
I
oppose
this
to
this
memo
to
extend
the
Commission's
for
six
months.
This
means
that
succeeds
and
our
Commission
would
not
be
up
until
later.
This
is
an
issue
of
equity.
Our
is
healing
in
particular.
In
this
time,
our
community
should
have
access
to
these
Commission
seats,
because
there
are
there
policies
that
matter.
This
limits,
the
public
forum
participating
people,
have
been
respectfully
waiting
for
these
seats
to
open
it.
I
think
we
need
to
allow
them
to
apply
and
allowing
your
leadership.
E
A
L
Thank
You
mayor
first
of
all,
I
commend
all
of
you
and
city
staff
for
what
you've
gone
through
the
last
few
weeks
with
the
budget
and
I
for
one
admire.
All
of
you
and
you
put
together
a
great
budget
in
terms
of
extending
the
arts
pension
terms.
I
would
point
out
that
those
of
us
that
are
termed
out
had
our
eight-year
terms,
artificial
shortened
to
six
years
when
the
Commission
consolidation
work
was
done.
L
I
would
also
point
out
that
we
formed
last
year
as
part
of
our
budget
work
in
June
we
formed
an
ad
hoc
committee
on
equity
and
access
and
I've
chaired
it
and
I've
been
reporting
out
regularly
to
Arts,
Commission
and
I
believe
in
this
time
of
great
budget
crisis.
It's
really
important
to
extend
these
Commission
terms
as
long
as
possible.
So
you
have
some
experienced
commissioners
in
there
to
deal
with
the
greatest
budget
crisis
we
perhaps
ever
faced
and
I
would
encourage
council
member
offices,
council,
member
karrasco
and
all
the
offices.
L
If
you
have
issues,
please
come
forward
to
Arts
Commission
and
speak,
we
rarely
have
the
public
come
and
attend
Arts
Commission
meetings,
and
it's
very
disappointing
to
me,
particularly
when
I'm
talking
about
equity.
We
are
all
discussing
equity
issues,
I
want
to
commend
the
city
manager
and
the
gear
work,
and
many
of
the
preliminary
topics
we've
been
talking
about
things
like
better
data
collection
are
very
much
in
sync,
with
what
staff
is
doing
and
again,
thanks
to
all
of
you,
a
shout
out
to
Jim
Shannon
for
having
public
art.
L
A
F
K
They
already
they're
already
expiring,
on
June
30th,
so
if
we
could
have
extension
to
a
August
31st
that
gives
us
July
to
get
all
of
the
appointments.
The
conflict
of
interest
memos
back
the
nominations
back
from
the
council
and
get
it
to
the
the
meeting
of
August
4th
or
the
second
meeting
in
August.
F
F
K
A
A
C
C
K
Currently,
no,
but
they
I've
had
several
inquiries
from
the
Commission
secretaries
that
their
Commission's
want
to
meet.
Currently
they
can
only
meet
if
they
request
an
exception
and
I've
every
one
that's
asked
I
said
you
can
bring
an
exception
to
rules
to
meet
and
none
of
them
have,
except
for
CAC,
which
I
brought
forward
and
that's
for
they
have
to
interview
the
clean
energy
seats.
F
Know
that
neighborhood
Commission
hasn't
had
official
meetings,
but
they've
had
sort
of
informational
meetings
with
their
staff
member,
because
I
had
a
phone
call
with
one
of
my
neighborhood
commissioners
last
week,
so
I
do
know
that
they
at
least
the
some
commissioners
on
some
Commission's
are,
are
wanting
to
meet
I,
don't
know
if
staff
has
had
the
band
was
to
make
make
that
happen.
I
think
that
may
have
been
some
of
the
disconnect
Dave.
Maybe
you
could
speak
to
that
if
there,
if
there's
a
likelihood
of
being
able
to
resume
in
in
August,
I.
B
Just
you
know,
I
I
kind
of
share
with
you.
What
were
we're
at
you?
So
we
are.
We
are
developing
work
plans
for
our
council
committees
and
doing
and
intent
to
bring
those
back
online
in
in
August.
I.
Believe
that
our
our
you
know
where
the
strategy
we're
going
to
take
is
we're
going
to
try
to
make
those
August
agendas
in
particular
fairly
light.
B
F
That's
helpful
and
if
we
can
have
that
come
back
kind
of
whatever
the
outline
of
the
plan
is
when
it
comes
to
Council
on
the
30th.
Assuming
this
motion
passes
obviously
I
think
that
would
be
really
helpful.
You
know
the
commissioners
also
are
very
concerned
about
the
budget
and
how
it
impacts
their
areas.
F
I
can
see,
councilmember
arenas,
nodding,
you've
heard
the
same
thing,
and
so
the
sooner
they
can
meet
in
the
you
know
after
we
get
back
I,
think
or
when
we
know
more
about
the
budget,
I
think
they
just
they
want
to
have
that
kind
of
input.
Before
we
take
our
second
pass
at
the
budget,
if
that's
possible,
that
would
be
that's.
My
only
input.
G
K
It's
just
a
handful
of
commissions,
Arts,
Commission,
downtown
parking
board,
historic,
landmark,
Commission,
the
library,
early
child
care
seats
and
neighborhoods
Commission.
The
Arts
Commission
is
the
one
that
has
the
most
significant
number
of
vacancies.
I
do
have
26
applicants
for
it.
We
sent
the
conflict
of
interest,
I
think
on
March
22nd,
so
we
haven't
received
that
back.
Yet
that's
why
I
wanted
to
extend
Arts
Commission
neighborhoods
commission.
That
was
a
separate
thing
because
they
are
appointed
by
caucus
and
the
caucuses
could
not
be
held
this
past
spring.
K
K
For
that
reason,
I
mean
it's
not
affecting
a
lot.
We
are
still
bringing
forward
all
of
our
unanticipated
vacancies
that
were
able
to
Youth
Commission.
We
have
almost
all
of
those
nominations.
Those
will
be
coming
forward
on
the
30th
and
any
other
one.
We've
been
able
to
get
names
for,
but
it
would
help
to
extend
it
for
those
few
Commission's
that
are
turning
out
this
June
yeah.
G
No
I'm
concerned
too
I
mean
we.
We
I
also
think
that
most
of
these
commissions
other
than
the
neighborhoods
Commission
they're
they're
appointed
by
district.
Are
they
not
so
that
we
we
have
the
right
to
choose
or
assess
it's
they're,
pretty
equitable,
equitably
distributed
as
it
is
already
right.
There.
K
H
I'm
actually
glad
that
a
council
member
Davis,
you
brought
up
those
issues,
I
know
that
we
rely
heavily
on
our
community
to
give
us
their
feedback
into
what
is
their
priorities
and
I.
Think
our
Commission's
are
part
of
that
community,
and
so
I
they've
been
really
absent
in
in
this
process,
and
I
am
eager
T
to
get
them
back
on
board.
H
So
I
agree
that
if
there's
some
issues
like
I
hear
what
the
speakers
are
saying,
I
think
there's
a
level
of
fairness
that
they're
concerned
with,
but
I
think
this
only
extent
applies
to
a
number
of
collisions.
It's
not
all
of
our
Commission's
are
serving
it
impacted
and
so
I'm
gonna
support
the
motion
so
that
we
can
take
this
to
the
council
and
have
this
discussion.
I
think
there's
been
a
couple
of
concerns
that
we've
heard
here
at
rolls.
Martha
Connell
has
has
called
in
and
shared
about
her
concerns.
H
They
can't
remember
some
of
the
other
folks
who
have
called
in,
but
I
think
this
is
an
area
that
that
that
we
rely
on
heavily
for
for
community
input
and
I'm.
Like
I
said
it's
it's
absent
right
now
and
although
we
are
seeing
an
increase
in
community
engagement
through
our
our
council,
I
mean
council
meetings.
It's
not
necessarily
the
same
as
having
a
person.
It
was
assigned
to
a
specific
area
and
is
committed
through
meetings
and
such
and
so
I
think
we
have
to
honor
that
commitment
and
support
them,
and
so
I'll
support
this.
A
Okay,
all
right,
let's
vote
Oh,
aye
aye.
Anyone
opposed
at
that
pass.
This
yes
Lee.
Thank
you
and
then
finally,
item.
Seven
is
a
ban
on
the
use
of
rubber
bullets
for
crowd,
control
that
several
of
us
have
signed
and,
of
course,
we
had
a
hearing
and
wanted
to
hear
from
our
community
as
well
as
they
hear
from
the
police
department
about
the
use
of
rubber
bullets,
and
this
memo,
I
think
reflects
our
conclusion.
Based
on
what
we've
heard
and
I
would
just
ask
that
move
forward.
B
Yeah
I
think
you
know
I
just
remember
this
item.
You
know
I
know
Tony's
on
on
the
call
I
think
with
some
of
the
work
in
item
1
I,
don't
think
it
technically
needs
to
go
to
Council,
I.
Think
I.
Think
we've
already
done
that
work
in
the
duty
manual
I
think
Rick
can
weigh
in
I.
Think
we
determined
that
there
really
is
no
required
mutti
code
change,
I'll,
let
Rick
sake,
stay
daddy
did.
A
B
C
C
B
K
Can
you
hear
me
yeah,
okay,
so
I'm
gonna
take
the
second
part
first,
which
talks
about
providing
a
report
on
complaints
we
received
about
those
social
unrest
and
the
police
response
to
the
demonstrators.
We
can
certainly
do
that.
As
you
know,
some
complaints
come
to
my
office
and
a
whole
bunch
of
plate.
Complaints
also
go
to
ia,
so
I've
reached
out
to
the
chief
and
we'll
combine
the
two
together.
So
you
get
the
full
picture
of
what's
what's
been
filed
and
it'll
be
at
a
high
level.
K
C
K
A
K
We've
had
a
big
issue
with
being
able
to
have
people,
send
us
videos
to
support
their
complaints,
and
so
we've
been
working
with
IT
in
the
city
manager's
office
and
that's
moving
very
quickly.
It's
been
very
nice,
the
team's
been
so
supportive,
but
this
is
a
different
nuance.
This
is
a
request
to
have
people
who
merely
want
to
document
injuries,
but
not
file,
complaints.
C
K
L
H
H
I
think
that
this
is
also
part
of
having
this
conversation
and
and
having
a
stance
on
this
as
part
of
the
healing
process,
with
our
our
folks
who
are
protesters,
especially
those
who
were
doing
this
in
a
very
peaceful
manner,
and
so
I'm
really
happy
that
this
is
moving
forward.
In
the
meantime,
I'm
not
sure
what
the
policy
is.
I
know
that
that
we
continue
to
see
more
protests
scheduled
for
some
time.
What
is
the
policy
at
this
point?
While
we
wait
to
hear
this
back
at
Council.
J
J
They
are
still
authorized
to
be
used
against
a
person
in
crowd,
control
situations
who
are
actively
attacking
an
officer
or
other
other
people
when,
when
they're
armed
or
pose
a
threat
to
officers
or
other
other
person,
so
yes,
the
duty
matter,
was
it
changed.
This
change
was
took
effect
yesterday
desire.
This
is
just
one
of
the
many
policies
we've
been
working
on
recently
in
light
of
so.
H
I
think
there's
like
a
very
nuance
difference
that,
from
what
I
heard
I
think
our
chief
and
maybe
previous
speakers
from
the
police
departments
say
that
they
were
using
projectiles
in
order
not
to
use
batons
because
I
created
more
distance
between
the
protesters
and
themselves
so
now
you're.
What
I
think
our
police
officers
are
being
directed
is
that
they
should
only
use
those
projectiles
if,
if
they
are
personally
being
attacked
or
so
somebody's
running
to
them
and
not
away
from
them
correct.
Yes,.
H
Okay,
I
guess
I
want
to
make
sure
that
that
is
not
part
of
what
we
continue
to
do.
I
know
that
I
seen
a
huge
shift
in
terms
of
our
protests
and
and
the
the
peaceful
environment
that
lately
we've
we've
enjoyed.
That
I
want
us
to
continue
to
keep
this
in
mind
as
we
move
forward
in
our
process
that
our
practices
are
actually
starting
to
shift
that
we're
not
waiting
until
the
council
has
these
discussions,
but
we're
making
some
real
in
them
in
real-time
changes.
So
I
appreciate
that
okay.
D
All
right,
can
you
hear
me?
Yes,
that
was
a
very
sober
subject.
Thank
you
in
respecting
and
an
understandable
initial
fear
of
violence
and
that
be
unknown.
Friday,
May,
28th,
San,
Jose
police
responses
to
protest
and
how
the
police
perceived
the
level
of
violence
approach,
we'll
have
to
be
reviewed.
This
can
be
considered
one
of
a
few
categories
and
how
to
view
changes
with
the
police
at
this
time.
Other
categories
to
talk
about
can
include
better
day-to-day
police
practices.
D
City
government
can
please
be
involved
in
listen
to
you
and
trust
the
everyday
people
of
your
community.
More
is
along
these
lines.
I'm
asking
my
own
ideas
of
what
can
be
more
peaceful,
minimal
use
practices
to
define
technology
needs
for
a
city,
good
civil
rights
and
civil
protections,
open
communication
in
the
community
meeting
process.
These
are
the
important
ideas
of
peace,
good
reasoning,
good
democratic
practices
and
positive
long
term,
community
sustainability
for
everyone
and
where
technology
itself
often
gets
its
inspiration
and
innovation.
Thank
you.
Thank.
A
I'll
just
describe
what
my
concern
is:
I
was
hoping
to
have
the
sort
of
conversation
here,
but
my
concern
is:
is
that
what
the
duty
manual
prohibits
is
the
use
of
the
rubber
bullets,
for
quote
unquote
crowd
control,
but
still
allows
them
to
be
used
in
a
crowd
to
address
someone
who
may
be
an
assailant,
and
my
concern
is:
is
that
I
think,
as
we
now
know
pretty?
Well,
it's
awfully
difficult
to
control
where
these
bullets
go.
A
They
balance
they
ricochet
and
they're,
not
nearly
as
precise,
obviously
as
a
typical
bullet,
particularly
if
they're
shot
at
a
distance
and
so
know
what
we're
proposing.
Is
you
through
rubber
bullets,
for
a
crowd
control
in
the
title,
but
my
intention
was
to
ban
them
all
together
for
use
when
you've
got
people
crowded
together.
A
Definitely
because
we're
not
very
good
at
determining
I,
don't
think
anyone's
very
good
at
being
able
to
aim
these
things
well
enough
to
actually
hit
an
assailant
as
opposed
to
hitting
innocent
people,
and
so
that's
the
conversation
I
think
it's
relevant
for
us
to
kind
of
get
through
to
understand.
Does
this
really
meet
what
we
want
or
not?
What's
in
the
duty
manual
and
Dave,
if
you
want
to
jump
in,
feel
free,
yeah.
B
I
appreciate
that
you
know
I
I,
guess
I
had
a
little
bit
of
different
impression
of
you
know
the
the
accuracy
and
certainly
as
they
were
in
use
and
ricocheting
them
off
the
ground
yeah.
They
they
loose
almost
complete
control,
complete
control.
However,
if
they
do,
are
you
going
to
use
them
in
the
manner
being
described
by
Tony
earlier
that
they
did
have
control
over
over
the
some
level
of
accuracy,
a
pretty
high
level?
I
got
the
impression
cuz.
It's
really
about
that.
B
A
B
Yeah
fair
enough
I
mean
I
I
had
like
I
said
the
impression
I
did.
There
was
really
two
approaches
to
using
these
and
they've
totally
removed.
The
one
approach,
which
is
this
kind
of
general
crowd,
control
measure
and
they've
left
in
place.
This
other
approach
that
they've
had
for
a
long
time
and
and
and
I
guess
I
believe,
didn't
think
that
was
the
issue.
It
was
this
general
crowd,
control
approach.
That
really
was
the
issue,
but
so
I
look
back.
Okay,.
C
D
All
right,
can
you
hear
me
yes,
I.
Thank
you
for
your
patience
with
my
work
today,
just
being
a
part
of
the
process.
Thank
you.
I
wanted
to
quickly
say.
Please
do
not
go
full
ahead
with,
with
the
plans
to
bulldoze
an
entire
city
block
in
downtown
San.
Jose
is
incredibly
dull,
unimaginative
way
to
work.
D
We
all
want
to
stability,
I
hope
you
can
take
your
time
with
city
government
projects
and
that
projects
do
not
have
to
simply
be
rest,
simply
to
say,
city
government
is
being
structured
and
dependable,
I
hope
we
can
all
learn
at
this
time.
The
gentle
practice.
Do
you
describe
that
practices
that
projects
may
need
to
be
put
off
for
another
day
for
more
study.
