Hello,
thank
you
vice
mayor
brian
harvey
just
wanted
to
say.
Thanks
for
the
consent,
calendar
appreciate
just
another
thing
on
the
consent
calendar.
If
we
do
want
an
item
pulled,
I
understand
why
we
can't
do
it
from
within.
Here
we
contact
our
representative
and
if
they
feel
it's
justifiable,
they
can
pull.
It
still
is
that
correct.
B
E
D
D
That
is
what
we're
facing,
and
so
we
need
to
make
radical
change.
Not
not.
You
know
change
around
the
the
you
know
with
with
fossil
fuels
change
around.
They
call
it
incremental
change.
We
need
radical,
systemic
change,
and
so
when
we
have
our
parks,
they
need
to
be
growing
food.
They
need
to
be,
and
this
needs
to
be
a
process,
a
program
throughout
our
city
like
in
canada.
There's
a
city
I
can't
remember
the
name
but
vancouver
that
requires
composting.
D
Every
one
of
us
needs
to
compost
and
and
then
the
garden
you
know
I
hear
that
ellery
middlebrook
of
middleburg
gardens
is
going
to
be
teaching
the
the
prep.
You
know
the
gardeners
in
in
the
parks
department.
Yes,
that
should
go
forward.
We
need
to
be
growing
food
and
we
need
to
do
that
at
the
guadalupe
gardens
that
I
like
the
idea
of
growing
food
everywhere
where
and
she
teaching
us
how
to
grow
food,
that's
what
they
should
be
doing.
All
the
landscaping
should
be
about
food
production.
F
It's
not
too
difficult
of
a
stretch
to
be
working
towards
these
goals
and
ideals,
and
that's
what
makes
our
lives
kind
of
interesting
and
hopeful
at
this
time,
actually
with
all
this
covid
stuff
that
I
hope
we're
really
interested
in
and
once
you
really
want
to
continue
to
work
on.
What's
not
often
included
in
the
items
I
just
mentioned
is
the
ideas
of
openness
and
accountability.
F
How
those
two
items
can
really
offer
an
incredible
amount
of
hope
and
help
to
the
ideas,
reimagined
and
and
health
and
human
services,
ideas
and
racial
equity.
At
this
time,
you
just
had
a
measure
on
the
digital
billboard
issue
yesterday,
an
important
component
to
that
is
simply
the
future
of
innovation
and
that
it
being
placed
in
the
downtown
area.
B
B
G
E
B
A
B
A
F
Public
record
is
really
yes.
Well,
that's
odd,
chappie
jones,
you
know,
I
think
you
really
like
you're
over
attacking
me
lately
and
I'm
pretty
tired
of
it.
You
know,
I
think,
I'm
doing
a
pretty
commendable
job.
I
need
I
perhaps
needed
to
bring
it
in
just
a
tad,
but
I
think
you
need
to
be
questioning
how
you
run
a
meeting.
You
are
not
allowing
me.
A
F
If
you
don't
speak
to
the
public
record,
and
I
will-
and
I
will-
and
here
I
go
public
record
time-
I
want
to
speak
on
public
record
that
I
want
to
continue
the
process
of
what
can
be
an
open
public
meeting
process.
We've
made
some
good
beginning
first
steps.
I
think
the
meeting
minutes
are
now
being
better
addressed.
The
items
are
being
placed
on
the
agenda
before
12
30.
Now,
a
bit
more
today
was
at
12
30..
F
I
hope
you
can
really
budget
your
time
to
place
the
future
agenda
items
for
rules
and
open
government
at
11
30..
I
hope
we
will
work
on
that
sort
of
effort
and
and
the
issues
that
I
keep
bringing
up
about
how
a
public
meeting
should
be
run
paul
keeps
bringing
up
he's.
He
has
items
that
orders
of
the
day
he
wants
to
talk
about
and
that
I
think
he
has
somewhat
of
a
legitimate
right
to.
F
B
C
Oh,
thank
you.
I
was
looking
at
the
public
record.
If
we
make
a
public
records
request
and
it
you
don't
feel
it
was
not
well,
I
don't
feel
it
was
answered
fully.
The
next
process
is
to
make
that
request
more
formal
and
is
it
to,
and
then,
if
I
disagree
with
that,
then
I
bring
it
before
the
this
committee
is
that
right,
brian.
D
D
I
trust
blair
to
know
what
is
going
on,
and
so
the
thing
is
is
that
that
needs
to
be
looked
at,
and
this
is
why
I'm
commenting
on
blair's
letter
about
democracy,
okay,
and
so
what
is
happening
is
that,
even
even
with
you
know
our
city
clerk,
first
of
all,
not
having
a
time
that
that
agenda
is
posted.
That
is
known,
so
I
don't
have
to
look
every
half
hour
to
see.
D
If
it's
there,
I
am
not
being
paid,
you
guys
are,
and
she
is,
she
needs
to
have
it
on
time
and
we
all
know
what
time
it
is
there.
So
I
don't
have
to
check
and
if
she
doesn't
put
it
on
time,
then
she
gets
a
demerit
for
that
and
maybe
she
gets
whatever.
But
you
know
it
should
be
a
time
time
thing
and
then,
on
top
of
it,
this
whole
thing.
You
know
the
county
when
I
went
to
the
county
meeting
it
is.
D
There
is
public
comment
in
the
beginning
of
the
meeting,
and
that
is
not
there
in
our
in
our
meetings.
It's
not
in
the
beginning
of
our
meetings,
so
the
public
can
come
and
they
know
they
can
come
at
one
o'clock
or
two
o'clock
whatever
that's
when
public
comment
is
and
you're,
not
providing
that
and
now
you're
changing
the
rules.
And
now,
as
we
go
into
this
digitization
of
our
democracy,
we-
and
we
were
talking
and
blair-
and
I
were
talking
about
this
today-
we
have
a
chance
to
redo
it
and
do
it
better.
D
A
B
D
Okay,
good
I'll,
keep
it
on
track.
But
I
want
the
public
comment
in
minutes,
but
anyway
getting
back
to
control,
it
needs
to
be
government
over
business,
and
that
is
how
we're
gonna
go.
Go
forward
to
survive.
That
has
to
be
our
our
our
correct
criteria,
our
our
mantra
going
forward,
and
it's
not,
and-
and
we
see
that
with
what
happened
with
with
covet,
you
gave
our
streets
to
the
businesses,
and
now
it's
not
safe
for
us
to
walk
on
our
streets
and-
and
you
gave
you
gave
them
our
bike
lanes.
D
So
this
is
how
you
have
to
look
at
the
decisions
you're
making
and
and
really
always
keep
that
mantra
in
mind-
that
your
job
is
to
protect
us
from
harm,
not
make
money
for
businesses.
That
is
not
the
the
goal,
and
you
know,
and
it's
right
now:
that's
what
we're
facing
is
the
end
of
life
on
earth.
So
you.
A
C
Thank
you
and
darby
is
my
last
name:
d-a-r-b-y
anyways.
I
I
think
this
is
a
great
ordinance.
The
other
speaker
did
bring
up
something
not
to
sound
melodramatic,
but
the
desire
to
get
high
is
sort
of
a
heart
problem
as
well,
and
I
don't
have
an
answer
for
that,
but
she
was
correct
in
what
she
said
we
do
really
have
to,
and
alcohol
took
alcohol
is
even
more
dangerous
than
this
stuff.
So
I
appreciate
that,
but
thank
you
for
putting
this
together.
C
I
know
that
kind
of
stuff's
a
lot
of
work
and
it's
not
just
something
you
can
do
willy-nilly.
I
know
you
guys
have
to
I
shouldn't
say
you
guys,
ladies
and
gentlemen,
have
to
check
this
out
check
that
out,
and
we
can
just
say
it
and
I'm
not
disagreeing,
but
it's
not
as
simple
as
we
think
it
is,
and
maybe,
if
you
we
could
get
a
timeline
of
something.
So
we
know
just
how
much
work
the
city
staff
and
you
put
in.
C
B
G
H
H
H
I
think
they
have
some
tobacco
settlement
money
that
that
they
were
planning
to
use
for
this.
That
may
be
able
to
be
a
resource
that
we
could
also
tap
into.
So
I
just
wanted
to
to
put
that
out
there
and
make
sure
you
were
you
were
aware
of
it.
They
they
did
pass
pass
their
referral
on
this
issue
yesterday
and
the
direction
was
to
work
with
us,
so
they've
been
directed
to
do
so.
So
I'm
gonna
move
my
memo
with
the
additional
direction
for
our
staff
to
work
with
county
staff.
E
We
did
some
field
research
a
month
ago
and
found
out
how
easy
it
is
to
access
and
purchase
without
any
questions
asked
at
smoke
shops
across
our
city.
So
it's
important
for
us
to
take
action
on
this,
and
I
actually
also
have
conversation
with
somebody
in
the
county
and
and
it's
great
that
we're
doing
this
in
tandem
they're
in
the
same
timeline-
and
you
know,
hopefully
we
can
become
a
model
for
other
cities
to
do
it,
so
it
becomes
a
county-wide
ban
on
this.
E
I
think
it's
fairly
straightforward,
but
I
do
want
to
ask
the
only
question
I
have
whether
it's
for
chris
or
lee
just
timing
for
how
how
long
it
takes
to
come
back,
because
I
understand
it's
related,
but
there's
some
work
to
putting
together
the
ordinance
and
doing
some
of
the
things
that
need
to
be
done
before
it
comes
to
council.
So
what
would
be
our
timeline
for
coming
to
council.
G
I'll
go
first
council
member,
then
I'm
going
to
hand
it
off
to
rachel.
You
know:
we've
just
been
through
a
very
similar
process
with
the
flavored
tobacco
work.
So
that's
given
us
a
good
idea
of
what's
involved
and
the
sort
of
timeline
associated
with
it.
I'd
say:
the
sort
of
critical
aspect
is
obviously
the
outreach
to
retailers
to
ensure
they
understand
the
changes
that
we're
making
and
sort
of
how
this
will
proceed
and
that'll
largely
drive
the
timeline
on
this
issue.
Rachel
again,
if
you
wanted
to
add
to
that.
H
Yeah,
I
just
would
just
say
that
we
are
currently
in
the
implementation
phase
of
the
flavored
tobacco
ordinance
that
was
just
approved
and
we're
bringing
smoke
free
ford
in
march,
and
so
we'll
have
some
implementation
around
that.
So
some
of
this
work
can
start
in
parallel,
but
as
far
as
getting
us
to
the
point,
we'll
need
to
be
to
bring
it
before
council.
A
G
B
C
Thank
you,
brian
darby,
speaking
from
the
the
kova
testing,
at
least
at
the
school
district
level,
where
I'm
at
it's
been
really
helpful.
It's
helped
us
really
been
able
to
get
access
to
people
who
require
you
know
they
they
tested
positive
and
then
we
have.
I
think
the
city
is
doing
a
good
job
on
it
too.
C
If
you
read
the
history
about
about,
I
think
we
should
be
thankful
that
we've
actually
developed
testing,
because
this
could
have
been
a
lot
worse.
We
lost
it.
We're
going
to
lose,
I
hate
to
say
it
about
maybe
100
1
million
200
000
by
the
time
this
is
over
with
and
that's
a
lot
of
people,
but
it
was
a
lot
better
than
five,
six
or
eight
million,
which
was
the
expectations.
If
we
didn't
do
anything,
I
just
wish
our
community
understood
that,
but
it's
been
hard
for
you
folks
to
walk
between.
C
D
All
right,
thank
you.
So
much
two
minutes,
please
thank
you
all
right,
good,
sweetheart,
yeah,
and
so
basically
you
didn't
reset
it.
But
that's
okay.
I
guess
not,
but
anyway
basically
covet
testing.
You
know,
and
that
is
a
you
know,
like
brian
darby.
Thank
you
brian
love.
You,
for
that
basically
said,
is
that
you
know
we
you
know.
D
Testing
is,
is
important
and-
and
I
guess
raul
perales
is
saying
that
as
an
alternative
to
requiring
vaccinations
and
as
we're
seeing
you
know,
people
having
trouble
with
the
vaccination
requirement
and-
and
I
think
covered
testing
isn't
is
important,
but
I
I
know
that
masking
the
science
says
that
masking
is
very
important
and
also
you
know
staying
you
know,
10
feet
away.
My
girlfriend
says
you
know
10
feet,
she
likes
10
feet,
get
off
her
back
and
you
know,
and
so
and
I
call
it,
you
know,
keep
your
crap
to
yourself.
D
You
know
we
need
to
keep
our
our
crap
to
ourselves
and
you
know,
and
it's
and
we've
seen
that
actually
by
wearing
masks.
We
are,
you
know,
there's
a
lot
less
diseases
going
around,
even
our
flu
was
really
reduced,
and
so-
and
we
saw
that
in
our
schools
that
there's
so
much
disease
in
our
schools
and
then
getting
back
to
that.
We
really
need
to
go
to
the
virtualization
of
our
schools,
even
though
they
say
oh,
the
kids
suffered,
everybody
was
depressed
and
everything.
D
The
reason
is
is
that
mothers
are
working
nobody's
home,
nobody's
home
when
the
kids
are
going
to
be
able
to
work.
You
know,
live
at
home
or
you
know
study
at
home,
and
so
that's
where
we
need
to
have
a
a
structural
change
that
supports
the
women
to
stay
home
and
it's
universal
basic
income
would
hopefully
do
that
and
then
we
can
have.
You
know
where
we're
home
schooled
and
all
of
us
are
learning
to
live
sustainably,
because
that
is
the
most
important
lesson
that
we
need
to
teach
every
human
being.
B
F
Hi
blair
here
this
is
this
item
is
an
incredibly
important
agenda
item.
That's
going
to
describe
ourselves
now
and
for
our
future.
It
is
the
person
raul
perales
who
he
works.
He's
from
the
democratic
party
he's
offering
to
not
he's
offering
to
question
the
feature
of
the
vaccine
mandate
process
for
as
important
as
as
community
health
and
safety
is
he's
asking
how
the
vaccine,
how
the
test
process
each
week
a
weekly
test
process
can
perhaps
be
a
good
option
for
ourselves
at
this
time.
F
That's
interesting
and
we're
trying
to
consider
flexible
choices
at
this
time
for
the
future
of
kovid.
So
I
very
much
have
a
thank
you
that
the
council
person
prowess
is
working
towards
this
and
I
think
it's
the
sort
of
ways
of
working
for
our
future,
that
we
all
need
to
learn
how
to
better,
understand
and
address
and
work
towards
compromise.
F
Good
luck,
how
we
can
do
that,
and
I
think
we're
finding
that
and
good
luck,
how
we
work
on
this
issue
and
with
my
remaining
time,
I
just
would
like
to
you
know
to
ask
vice
mayor
jones
in
the
same
way
to
learn.
You
know
to
compromise
in
that
I'm
trying
to
offer
good
procedural
ideas
during
my
public
comment
time.
He
has
to
learn
to
be
a
bit
more
forgiving
at
this
time.
Thank
you.
B
G
B
G
A
B
G
I
was
actually
raising
my
hand
just
to
I
I
had
heard,
obviously
that-
and
I
assumed
that
would
be
the
case
from
from
city
staff.
I
think
it
is
most
appropriate
to
have
the
discussion
in
closed
session
as
we've
been
having
since
last
year,
so
I'm
comfortable-
and
that
was
my
hope
anyways-
was
that
just
that
we
can
move
this
forward
for
a
discussion
in
closed
session.
So
I'll
I'll
make
that
motion
now.
E
E
F
F
I
can
stay
within
the
lines
of
fast,
I'm
learning
how
to
better
do
that,
and
I
hope
we
can
do
that
for
this
item
or
for
the
public
comment
reminders
that
you
know
I
I
was
working
on
the
covet
issues.
I
hope
we
can
learn
how
to
talk
about
the
nanotechnology
process.
Overall,
I've
asked
yourselves
as
council
persons
to
really
learn
how
to
better
talk
about
that
with
the
community.
F
I
think
it
can
be
a
lot
of
help
and
it
would
be
a
make
for
a
more
clear,
understandable
conversation
and
it
would
be
an
honest
conversation
the
same
with
the
digital
technology
billboard
issue
yesterday,
you
guys
would
not
admit
that
you
know
there
will
be
data
collection
and
surveillance
as
a
part
of
the
data
as
a
part
of
the
new
feature
of
digital
billboards.
That's
why
it's
being
placed
in
downtown
it's
the
future
of
that
innovation.
That's
part
of
the
whole
innovation
program
of
the
mayor.
F
Now,
if
you
do
that,
without
talking
about
its
openness
and
accountability,
that's
defeating
the
purpose
of
our
future
of
technology
in
a
community,
and
what
exactly
is
innovation?
Innovation
is
simply
how
to
better
talk
about
the
openness
and
accountability
practices
with
technology.
It
isn't
continuously
hiding
it.
It's
learning
to
share
that.
It's
been
really
hard
to
do
that.
That's
why
it's
innovative
to
learn
how
to
share
it.
Please
learn
how
to
be
open
and
sharing
it's
a
step
in
a
skill
that
we
all
are
trying
to
learn.
F
I'm
going
through
a
lot
to
try
to
learn
it
myself.
I
hope
you
guys
can
too
what
else
is
there
to
say
boy?
I
got
a
lot.
Oh
yes,
a
nice
reminder
how
openness
and
accountability
can
relate
so
well
with
reimagine
and
health
and
human
services,
and
it
can
really
help
the
ideas
of
vision,
zero
council
person,
esparza
and
looking
for
a
new
digital
technology
head
yesterday,
nicely
tried
to
mention
that
idea.
There's
a
lot
to
work
on
with
these
issues,
and
it
is
openness
and
accountability.
A
C
Yeah
brian
darby
again
thank
you,
sir,
and
just
something
not
to
be
well.
It
is
to
be
critical
of
all
of
us
in
a
sense.
The
tragedy
of
the
last
month
and
a
half
or
months
and
three
weeks
with
the
deaths
in
san
jose
due
to
traffic
accidents
is
horrendous
in
vision,
zero.
I
went
through
and
read
the
entire
vision
statement
and
they
have
data
points
and
all
of
that-
and
I
think
that's
wonderful
and
I
think
they're
tr,
but
obviously
it's
going
in
the
wrong
direction.
C
San
francisco's
had
two
or
three
fatalities
versus
the
16.
Now
the
one
person
drove
off
of
highway
280
into
the
17.,
a
big
minority
is
speed
and
if
you
drive
anywhere
in
san
jose
people
blow
through
red
lights
and
they
speed,
I
live
off
of
meridian
now
and
I
go
35
and
every
day
I
get
followed
almost
home
flipped
off
and
a
few
times
I've
had
things
thrown
at
my
car.
Now
I
don't
really
mind
all
that.
C
C
This
is
merely
a
symptom
of
a
problem
and
as
the
leaders
we
look
towards
that-
and
I
think
that's-
I
can't
speak
for
mr
bing
and
blair
and
the
other
people,
but
I
think
that's
what
they're
trying
to
get
at
too
and
we
do
a
very
poor
job.
I
know
I
do
we're
on
this
pale
blue
dot
together,
and
I
guess
this
is
open
forum
where
we
can
say
that
and
that's
all
of
us
and
it
matters
to
people
in
ukraine.
It
matters
the
people
in
africa.
C
A
I
Sorry,
gosh
these
meetings
are
exhausting
geez,
you
guys
are.
I
don't
know
how
much
more
of
these
meetings
but
anyway
happy
thursday
a
couple
things.
Thank
you
vice
mayor.
I
want
to
talk
about
how
people
are
living.
I
mean
everybody
knows
about
phase
three.
What's
going
on,
I
don't
know
if
you
read
the
article
of
spotlight
and
the
new
tragedy
that's
going
on
over
there,
and
it
is
a
tragedy
of
these
new
rats
from
norway,
norwegian
rats
and
nobody's
doing
anything
vector
control
is
out
there.
I
I
This
is
kind
of
like
a
health
emergency.
I
mean
something
has
to
be
done.
People
have
to
be
moved
somewhere
because
these
rats
aren't
safe.
Some
dogs
have
died
from
drinking
the
water
that
the
rats
are,
and
it's
nothing
is
going
on
the
new
council
anyway.
I
don't
want
to
get
into
that,
but
something
has
to
be
done.
It's
horrible
people
are
scared
because
of
these
rats,
and
I
did
send
an
email
to
somebody
from
the
city
and
their
comment
was:
oh,
we
have
rats
all
over
the
city.
I
B
D
Yes,
tessa
woodman
c
and
my
email
is
clean
air,
sj
gmail.com
and
I
would
love
to
speak
to
gail
and
I'd
love
to
speak
to
brian
darby
and
my
it's
clean
air,
which
we
do
not
have
in
san
jose
and
it's
clean
air
sj.
We
do
not
have
clean
air
in
us
in
san
jose.
I
live
across
from
a
diesel
bus
depot
on
stockton
avenue
at
641
stockton
avenue,
and
so
I
would
love
both
of
those
people
who
are.
You
know
commenting
to
to
contact
me
because
I
love
gail
and
gail
has
been
amazing.
D
You
know
advocate
for
the
homeless
and
that
issue
and
then,
oh
and
and
and
brian
darby,
discussing
vision,
zero.
Thank
you
to
both
of
them,
and
this
is
this
is
called
a
union
of
of
citizens.
We
need
a
union
of
citizens
and
that's
why
I'm
telling
you
my
email.
So
you
would
send
me
your
email,
okay,
so
that
we
can
get
together
to
to
make
the
changes
because
it
is
going
to
be
the
people
like
greta
thundberg
says
we.
D
The
people
are
going
to
have
to
make
the
change,
because
the
politicians
are
not
making
that
and
that's
what's
happening,
except
for
my
son
who's
running
for
mayor
and
he's
running
marshall,
woodman
c
and
his
his
agenda.
His
platform
is:
make
san
jose
a
food
garden
again
and
keep
fossil
fuels
in
the
ground.
That
is
the
only
agenda
that
that
is
that
is
worthy
of
everyone's
vote,
because
that
is
our
survival
and
and
we're
having
so
many
problems
and
don't
forget
that
paul
soto
is
not
at
this
meeting.
