If this is YOUR meeting, an easy way to fix this is to add a description to your video, wherever mtngs.io found it (probably YouTube).
A
So
welcome
to
the
first
sag
meeting
or
SOG
meeting
that
is
gonna
be
one
of
the
things
we
have
to
decide
tonight
since
apparently
there's
a
lot
of
different
names
for
this,
but
welcome
and
thank
you,
you
know
as
we
kind
of
go
on
this
adventure
together.
It
is,
you
know
real
amazing
opportunity
to
kind
of
help,
shape
our
city
and
our
downtown,
and
it's
going
to
take
some
work
and
it's
gonna
take
some
hours
and
so
I
appreciate
the
rest
of
the
city.
A
Team
really
appreciates
the
time,
commitment
that
you're
giving
tonight
and
that
you
will
be
giving
in
the
future.
So
thank
you
very
much
just
a
few
housekeeping
items
before
we
get
started
for
the
public.
There
are
public
comment
cards
if
you
wish
to
speak
at
the
end,
so
you
can
fill
those
out
and
Lauren
over
here
will
be
collecting
those.
A
The
second
thing
is
parking.
There
is
parking
validation
in
the
back,
so
if
anyone's
parked
downstairs,
please
make
sure
that
you
get
parking
validated
before
you
leave
for
the
night
so
because
we
have
kind
of
a
tight
agenda
for
our
first
orientation
together
or
the
only
orientation
together.
I
do
want
to
get
started
throughout
this
process.
A
You're
gonna
meet
a
number
of
city
staff,
Planning
Department,
Transportation
Department,
but
there's
kind
of
a
core
group
of
folks,
including
myself,
that
I
just
want
to
introduce
that
you're
gonna
see
a
lot
of
throughout
this
process,
so
my
name
is
Lea
Wilcox
and
I'm,
the
chief
of
staff
for
the
city
manager's
office
and
leading
the
civic
engagement
process
for
kind
of
the
Durham
Station
area.
So
this
group
and
a
number
of
other
meetings
that
we'll
touch
upon
later.
A
We
have
Kim
Wallace,
our
deputy
city
manager
and
director
of
economic
development
who
will
be
presenting
shortly:
Nancy
Klein,
our
director
of
real
estate,
they're
in
the
back
lauren
hailey,
our
real
estate
manager
and
is
graciously
helping
out
on
notes
and
kind
of
logistics
tonight
as
well.
Thank
you,
Bill
Eckert,
the
Deardon
project
manager.
Oh
he's
home
taking
care
of
a
cat
and
then,
as
you
know,
we
kind
of
enter
into
this
process.
A
The
city
did
put
out
a
request
for
proposal
or
what
we
would
call
an
RFP
to
solicit
some
help
on
kind
of
helping
shape
the
civic
engagement
process
and
facilitating
some
of
these
meetings.
And
these
two
gentlemen
are
with
us
tonight,
so
Dave
Gavitt
from
plan
to
place.
You
will
see
him
tonight
and
throughout
this
process
and
then
Matt
Raney
from
Raimi
and
associates.
So
these
are
kind
of
here
to
help
the
city
through
this
process,
I'm
going
to
ask
them
to
come
up
and
kind
of
walk
through
the
agenda.
A
But
what
we
hope
to
do
tonight
is
really
kind
of
orient
you
to
one
another
orient
you
to
what
we're
going
to
be
doing
together
and
then
give
a
little
bit
of
background
in
context
into
where
the
city
is
at
and
some
of
the
planning
efforts.
Thus
far.
We
will
spend
a
little
bit
of
time
starting
to
kind
of
shape
our
work
together.
But
again
we
really
want
you
to
focus
on
one
another
tonight
and
how
we're
all
gonna
work.
So
with
that
Dave.
B
Thank
You
Leigh
great
to
meet
you
all,
welcome
everyone.
I
just
want
to
walk
us
through
the
agenda
real
quickly
and
then
we'll
jump
into
the
program
here.
So
excuse
me,
as
Leigh
mentioned,
we're
gonna
start
with
a
background
and
opportunity
just
to
kind
of
set
the
context.
Give
you
a
sense
of
planning
efforts
that
have
been
done
to
date.
B
We
want
to
understand
what
the
group
agreements
are.
Make
sure
that
we
set
a
course
here
that
is
very
transparent,
but
it's
also
very
respectful.
So
we
all
work
together
effectively
and
we'll
kind
of
work
on
that
set
of
agreements
together
and
then
we're
going
to
open
it
up
for
public
comments,
so
be
plenty
of
opportunity
for
everyone
here
to
provide
comments.
B
C
Great
good
evening,
everyone
I
am
Kim
Wallace
I'm,
the
deputy
city
manager
for
the
city
of
San,
Jose
and
I,
just
wanted
to
say
I,
just
I
woke
up
this
morning,
so
excited
to
begin
this
chapter
of
community
engagement.
It's
really
the
next
chapter
of
community
engagement
about
the
Deardon
station
area
and
as
a
deputy
city
manager.
One
of
my
responsibilities
is
the
future
of
downtown,
including
this
area,
and
it's
one,
probably
the
one
I'm
most
passionate
about
so
I
just
really
want
to
extend
a
personal.
C
Thank
you
to
all
of
you
who
volunteered
or
were
volunteered
to
serve
on
the
the
SOG
sag
SOG
and
just
a
special
thank
you
to
everybody
who
is
in
also
the
community
members
who
are
with
us
tonight.
What
I
thought
I
would
do
is
I
want
to
make
a
few
key
points.
I
have
for
that
really
our
background
about.
Why
we're
here
and
why
we
need
your
input.
C
So
the
first
point
I
want
to
make
is
that-
and
this
is
really
awkward
and
I-
think
you
guys,
okay,
if
I
stand
here
so
I
can
try
to
talk
with
everybody.
Okay,
I
think!
That's
better
the
first.
The
first
point
I
want
to
make
is
that
this
is
an
opportunity
to
work
on
a
project
that
can
be
truly
transformational
to
our
city.
This
is
not
a
typical
situation.
This
is
really
a
big
opportunity
and
let
me
just
share
a
few
reasons
why
I
feel
that
way?
C
The
first
is
I
think
we
all
know
there's
an
opportunity
to
dramatically
improve
transit
access
when
we
have
Bart
when
we
have
electrified
more
frequent
Caltrain
when
we
have
high-speed
rail,
this
will
be
the
most
active
Transit
Center
in
the
entire
Bay
Area,
and
it
will
be
one
of
the
nation's
most
busiest
intermodal
hubs.
We're
going
to
see
an
Eightfold
increase
in
the
number
of
people
coming
through
our
station
in
our
downtown
ten
years
from
now.
So
this
is
a
huge
opportunity
for
us
to
do
this
right
and
shape
the
future
of
our
city
ii.
C
This
is
clearly
an
opportunity
for
great
urban
placemaking.
If
you
look
at
the
chart
here,
the
green
area
is
the
area
we're
referring
to
as
the
Deardon
station
area.
So
you
can
see
it's
a
very
large
area
and
this
is
really
the
opportunity
to
expand
our
downtown
westward
and
create
a
great
urban
destination
that
is,
a
mix
of
homes
and
offices
and
shops
and
entertainment
and
great
public
spaces
and
amenities
and
I.
Just
love
that
the
dear
Don
good
neighbor
committee
earlier
on,
they
were
just
so
right
on
when
they
said
quote.
C
This
is
one
of
the
most
significant
opportunities
for
placemaking
in
San.
Jose.
I
also
think
this
is
an
opportunity
for
us
to
shape
a
new
kind
of
urban
tech
workplace
that
really
integrates
with
and
contributes
to
a
real
city.
I,
don't
know
if
you,
if
you
guys,
know
this,
but
it's
been
over
22
years
since
a
tech
company
has
been
interested
in
developing
in
downtown
San,
Jose
and
I
need
to
give
a
shout
out
to
Ernst
tena
Adobe
as
a
pioneer
and
I
think
we
all
know.
C
Since
then,
the
model
in
the
rest
of
Silicon
Valley
has
been
these
tech
campuses
that
have
been
closed
and
apart
from
the
city
and
the
community,
and
maybe
even
been
anti
city
in
some
way,
so
I
think
and
I
know.
We
have
a
great
opportunity
here
to
really
work
to
create
a
new
kind
of
tech
environment
that
really
integrates
and
wants
to
be
here,
because
we
are
a
real
city,
a
counterexample
if
you
will
to
the
spaceship
in
Cupertino
and
those
other
Silicon
Valley
models.
C
The
last
opportunity
I
see-
and
this
is
very
important
to
me
personally-
is
I-
think
we
have
opportunity
to
create
a
new
model
for
inclusive
urban
prosperity.
I
think
we
can
be
the
city
that
tries
to
and
does
crack
the
code
on,
how
you
can
have
significant
economic
growth
and
be
a
high
opportunity
city
for
lower-income
residents.
I
think
we
all
know
that
growing
income,
inequality
and
growing
inequality
of
opportunity
is
a
key
national
issue.
Let's
create
new
models
and
contribute
to
figuring
out
how
to
do
this
right
in
San
Jose.
C
So
these
are
just
some
of
the
opportunities
I
see
and
I
know.
You'll
see
others
and
I
think
it's
no
exaggeration
to
say
this
is
a
once
in
a
lifetime
opportunity.
I've
heard
people
say
it's
once
in
a
generation
which
I
guess
is
more
than
a
lifetime
or
once
in
a
century,
but
whatever
you
think
about
it.
This
is
big.
This
is
opportunity
for
us
collectively
to
make
a
big
impact.
C
I
really
really
believe
in
the
power
of
collaboration
and
before
I
went
into
public
service
I
co-founded,
a
community
development
firm,
was
called
collaborative
economics
and
that
might
seem
like
a
strange
juxtaposition,
but
we
called
the
firm
that,
because
in
working
in
many
many
communities
in
the
United
States
and
internationally
over
many
years,
we
really
saw
that
the
communities
that
had
the
ability
to
collaborate
across
sectors
and
interests
and
confront
change
and
conflict
and
opportunity
together.
That
was
the
secret
sauce
to
the
communities
that
were
successful
over
time
and
those
that
weren't.
C
So
we
really
believe
here
that
out
of
good
conversation
and
healthy
conflict
and
dialogue,
that
creative
new
solutions
and
possibilities
are
born
and
I
want
to
say
we're
very
happy
to
have
found
Dave
and
Matt
because
they
share
that
perspective.
So
the
third
point
I
want
to
make
is
context.
Is
that
the
work
that
we're
going
to
do
together,
it
really
builds
on
the
work
of
I,
would
say
thousands
of
community
members
who
have
gone
before
us
and
helped
to
create
plans
that
have
been
approved.
C
Do
you
mind
if
I
put
this
here,
yeah
created
plans
that
have
been
approved
by
council
that
are
really
important
context
for
the
work
that
we're
going
to
do
and
I
want
to
mention
the
most
important
of
these
I?
Think
many
of
you
know
that
in
2011
the
City
Council
adopted
the
envision
2040
general
plan.
That's
the
highest
level,
most
important
strategy
document
that
any
city
has
how
many
of
you
were
involved
with
that
just
raise
your
hand
either
on
the
task
force
showing
up
to
meetings
providing
input
excellent.
C
C
So
the
station
area
and
the
convergence
of
all
of
this
transit
at
Deardon
is
really
a
cornerstone
of
how
we're
going
to
implement
the
envision
2040
general
plan.
So
the
second
plan
I
want
to
mention
is,
of
course,
the
downtown
strategy.
How
many
of
you
been
involved
with
working
to
implement,
build
a
great
downtown,
raise
raise
your
hand
if
you've
been
involved
and
yeah?
So
quite
a
few
of
us.
This
is
a
really
much
a
passion.
We've
had
a
long
awaited,
but
not
yet
quite
realized
vision
of
downtown
as
a
true
city
center.
C
So
this
need
an
opportunity
to
double
the
size
of
our
downtown
and
build
critical
mass
and
have
a
lot
more
housing
and
a
lot
more
jobs
is
really
a
central
part
of
the
downtown
vision
plan
that
we
have
in
place
already
now.
Perhaps
the
most
important
plan
is
the
Deardon
Station
area
plan
and
I
really
want
to
recognize
the
dear
Don
good
neighbor
committee,
who
did
their
work
in
2009
in
2010.
So
this
group
had
31
members,
they
met
22
times
and
they
were
the
ones
that
came
up
with
this
vision
of
destination.
C
Dear
Don,
that's
their
phrase
destination
dear
Don,
as
a
vision
of
this
becoming
a
great
and
favorite
place.
How
many
of
you
many
of
you
in
this
room
involved
on
the
dear
Don
good
neighbor
committee,
yeah
great,
so
we're
gonna,
give
you
some
time
in
future
meetings
to
really
talk
about
that,
because
that
was
an
incredible
piece
of
work
and
SOG
members.
You
have
their
product
in
your
binder
and
it
has
great
recommendations
in
six
areas
in
land
use.
Neighborhood
quality
of
life,
parking
and
traffic
parks
and
trails,
pedestrian
and
bike
connectivity,
public
transport.
C
This
was
really
important
community
input
and
what
happened
was
the
city
took
that
input
and
then
used
that
to
create
the
Deardon
Station
area
plan,
which
is
the
high
level
land-use
plan
and
the
environmental
clearance
for
development
in
this
area?
And
it
includes
things
like
urban
design
guidelines.
It
includes
a
placemaking
strategy,
a
public
art
master
plan.
C
It
has
all
of
these
different
elements,
but
it
came
from
the
dear
Don
good
neighbor
committee
input
and
then
last
I
want
to
acknowledge,
especially
in
the
last
couple
years,
the
incredible
collaboration
that
has
gone
on
around
creating
a
new
station
and
all
of
the
transit
planning.
That's
going
to
converge
between
our
city
of
San,
Jose,
high-speed
rail,
VTA,
Caltrain
and
others.
So
I
think
you
can
see.
My
point
is
that
this
does
work
that
we're
going
to
do
together.
C
C
So,
with
the
Google
opportunity
came
up
last
spring,
it
became
clear
that
one
of
the
needs
and
opportunities
was
for
them
to
acquire
some
of
the
public
properties
in
order
to
assemble
land,
to
have
a
master
plan
development.
So
I
just
want
everybody
to
to
see.
This
is
the
the
map
of
the
Deardon
area.
You
can
see
the
outline
it's
240
acres
and
there
are
in
yellow.
There
are
five
properties
which
totals
6.5
acres.
C
We
call
those
the
serra
properties,
they're
owned
by
the
successor
agency,
to
the
Redevelopment
Agency
and
on
the
right
side
there
are
three
city-owned
properties.
So
if
we
can
go
to
the
next
slide,
so
we
have
again
not
a
typical
process,
but
we've
been
starting
this
process,
which
is
going
to
lead
up
by
the
end
of
the
year.
The
intention
is
to
selling
those
properties
to
Google,
so
I
wanted
to
start
and
talk
through
a
little
bit.
What
the
steps
are
we
call
this
phase
so
last
June
I
think
you
know
we
realized.
C
We
had
this
opportunity
and
we
said,
let's
figure
out
if
we
can
determine
the
fair
market
value
price
to
sell
those
properties.
So
it
took
quite
a
while
because,
as
you
can
imagine,
was
very
complicated
over
here
the
city
we
had
the
county,
we
had
the
appraisers,
we
had
Google,
but
we
hit
this
milestone
when
we
came
back
after
the
holidays
and
in
February
last
month
we
realized
that
we
had
agreed
on
a
price
and
so
therefore
we're
ready
to
go
to
the
next
stage.
C
So
it's
actually
what's
triggered
the
opportunity
to
start
the
community
engagement
process
and
the
reason
that
we
want
the
Ennead.
The
input
is
that
what
we're
working
up
to
by
the
end
of
the
year
is
something
called
a
Memorandum
of
Understanding
and
when
a
Memorandum
of
Understanding
or
MOU
is,
is
it's
a
high
level
agreement
that
sets
expectations
for
both
parties
expectations
about?
Well,
what
would
this
project
be?
What
would
it
look
like?
C
So
there's
steps
that
we're
going
to
be
undertaking
this
year
and
then
there'll
be
steps
will
be
undertaking
for
many
many
years.
So
at
this
point,
that
Google
project
is
just
a
concept,
but
at
some
point,
if
we
keep
moving
forward,
it
will
turn
into
a
regular
clearly-defined
project.
Then
it
starts
moving
through
the
normal
City
planning
processes.
So,
including
the
environmental
review,
which
will
probably
take
18
months
to
two
years,
then
we'll
have
to
amend
the
Deardon
station
area
plan
to
update
it
with
the
new
thoughts.
C
We're
gonna
be
designing
a
new
intermodal
station
right
we're
going
to
be
thinking
about
other
development.
We're
going
to
be
planning
for
construction
and
parking
and
bike
access
and
a
whole
range
of
of
things.
So
I
just
want
to
end
by
saying
I'm
glad
we're
starting
tonight,
and
we
really
need
your
input
and
we
truly
value
your
input
and
thank
you
for
your
your
patience
while
I
make
these
opening
remarks.
A
A
A
So
it's
gonna,
be
you
know
important
that
we
have
a
strong
team
on
the
city
side
which
we
believe
we
have
and
that
you
voice
these
opinions,
because
we
do
want
to
talk
about
your
interests,
the
aspirations
for
this
area
which
are
high
for
everyone,
but
also
the
concerns
with
big
change.
Obviously,
people
are
concerned
and
we
want
to
flesh
those
out.
We
want
to
ensure
that
perspectives
are
included
throughout
the
decision-making
process
from
anyone.
A
A
All
right,
no
questions,
Sarah
and
I'm.
Sorry
use
the
microphone.
The
one
thing
I
should
have
told
the
public
and
all
of
you.
This
is
not
being
televised
live
tonight,
because
we
have
a
Planning
Commission
and
we
actually
have
technology
issues
that
don't
allow
us
to
do
live
broadcasts,
but
it
is
being
recorded
and
it
will
be
available
online.
So
it
is
important
when
you
talk
that
you
speak
into
the
microphone
so
that
we
can
record
that
accurately.
Sorry,
sorry,
no.
D
A
And
I
think
we're
gonna
talk
about
the
schedule
a
little
bit
later.
I
think
we've
made
accommodation,
so
this
is
not
happening
during
a
Planning
Commission
meeting,
but
we
do
I
believe
have
some
upgrading
it's
coming
soon.
So
that
will
actually
you
know
the
City
Hall
two
point:
I
won't
be
able
to
do
two
live
broadcast.
At
the
same
time,.
D
A
couple
of
just
questions
or
suggestions
in
terms
of
making
sure
that
we
make
these
meetings
the
most
accessible
as
possible.
Two
things
that
I
just
wanted
to
raise
one
is
a
consideration
around
childcare
and
realizing
that
we
want
to
have
a
lot
of
families,
participate
in
all
these
workshops
and
conversations
and
then
the
second
one
being
making
sure
that,
as
we
think
about
places
that
we're
gonna
be
having
these
meetings,
that
they're
transit
accessible
all
for
the
effort
to
really
have
the
most
participation
from
our
community,
particularly
people
of
color
and
low-income
communities.
It's.
D
A
That
we
can
follow
along
with
them,
as
we
will
in
the
future.
Yes,
and
so
we're
gonna
talk
a
little
bit
about
how
we're
gonna
work
together.
This
is
a
a
brown
acted
group,
so
agendas
will
be
posted
a
week
in
advance.
In
most
cases,
you
will
get
this
material
in
advance
as
well
in
the
future,
as
we
were
sprinting
to
kind
of
get
this
orientation
done.
That
just
didn't
happen
today,
but
you
will,
in
the
future.
D
A
D
Sorry
yeah
I
was
just
gonna
say
that
as
we
as
we
I
wasn't
sure.
If
this
is
the
right
point
to
bring
it
up,
but
as
we
do
like
who
are
we
as
we
go
through
that,
would
we
would
there
be
a
opportunity
for
us
to
just
kind
of
disclose?
You
know
if
we've
received
any
subsidies
or
support
from
Google
as
part
of
that.
D
A
So
for
the
first
for
today,
it's
really
about
getting
to
know
each
other
personally,
who
were
with
what
we
want
to
get
out
of
this
process.
That's
something
we
can
talk
about
as
we
move
forward.
I
do
know,
several
people
have
brought
it
up,
so
it
is
something
that
we'll
discuss
and
come
back
before
our
first
meeting
and
chat
with
you
guys
about.
