Hopefully
we
can
see
it.
Okay,
I
have
today
with
us
also
norman
mascarinas
from
our
public
works
department.
So
I'll
do
the
presentation
and
at
the
end,
both
he
and
I
will
be
available
for
questions.
So
this
is
a
semi-annual
report
for
us
from
july
to
december
2020
just
an
overview.
You
are
familiar
with
our
program,
1.4
billion
in
10
years
from
2014
to
2024.
F
This
is
just
a
really
a
snapshot
of
what
we
are
doing.
This
is
just
a
diagram
of
how
we
deliver
projects.
We
have
right
now,
two
different
ways
to
deliver
our
design
big,
build
projects,
and
then
we
have
three
progressive
design
deal
projects.
We
are
in
different
stages:
we're
gonna,
probably
focus
more
in
some
of
the
construction
projects,
just
to
show
some
of
the
progress
that
we
have
had
in
the
last
year.
F
So,
just
to
give
you
a
little
bit
of
of
a
sense
of
how
much
construction
we
have
going
on,
we
have
currently
10
projects,
and
this
is
just
an
aerial
picture
of
the
rwf,
and
this
is
just
showing
the
extent
of
construction,
basically
in
all
these
different
projects,
so
we
have
here
the
names
and
the
total
base.
Construction
value
of
these
is
398
million.
F
Some
of
these
projects
are
just
at
the
beginning
of
construction,
so
more
advanced
and
we'll
talk
a
little
bit
about
some
of
them
in
the
next
slides,
one
that
we
it's
a
small
project,
but
I
just
wanted
to
highlight
this
is
only
five
million
dollars.
However,
this
is
some
of
our
big
piping
replacement
projects.
This
is
jar.
Piping
is
the
second
of
a
number
of
projects
that
will
be
completed
in
the
next
few
years.
F
These
projects
are
interesting
just
because
they
can
only
be
done
during
the
summer
during
dry
weather,
and
there
are
really
large
pipes
that
we
are
rehabbing.
So
here
is
just
a
couple
of
pictures
to
give
you
a
sense.
Crowns
were
corroded
because
of
the
nature
of
sewage,
and
we
are
just
showing
here.
You
can
see
one
of
the
inspectors
just
walking
inside
the
pipe
just
to
show
you
the
the
size.
So
this
is
a
smaller
product
that
we
just
completed.
We
have
another
face
going.
F
We
have
much
larger
projects
that
we
want
to
show
you
one
of
the
ones
that
you
probably
were.
Some
of
you
were
in
the
ribbon
coding
for
the
cogeneration
facility
project,
so
this
is
a
project
that
was
almost
95
million.
We
just
completed
an
official
use
in
december
2020.,
a
couple
of
pictures
just
to
show
you
a
little
bit
of
a
still
the
contractor
finishing
with
the
coaching
engines
and
some
of
the
process
mechanical
work.
F
You
can
see
the
nuclear
generation
building
on
the
left
and
then
you
can
see
also
all
the
different
auxiliary
kind
of
things
for
the
gas
cleaning
and
all
that
the
project
was
completed
in
almost
two
years
of
construction
and
and
this
project
is
actually
part
of
our
reliability
and
resilience
projects,
because
we
are
now
closer
to
be
self-sufficient
in
terms
of
energy.
We
are
generating
almost
half
of
the
energy
that
the
facility
needs
with
this
project.
F
Excuse
me,
let
me
just
go
to
the
next
slide.
The
digester
and
thickener
facility
upgrade
project.
This
is
a
project
that
we
have
been
working
on
for
a
few
years
now
in
construction,
107,
107
million
construction
value,
that's
just
a
base
value,
and
this
is
we
are
hoping
to
have
this
zone
by
the
fall
this
year.
Just
a
few
pictures
also
just
to
show
you
some
of
the
progress
in
the
world,
but
I
think
it's
more
impressive.
F
Just
to
see
again
the
drone
video
you
can
see
here,
the
four
digesters
that
have
been
completed:
full
structural,
seismic
rehab,
all
the
gas
lines
going
in
what
almost
looked
like
a
monorail
above
ground.
We
took
all
the
flammable
piping
out
of
the
tunnels,
a
compressor
building.
This
is
where
gas
gets
compressed
to
be
sent
to
our
coaching
facility
and
what
you
see
in
the
back
is
also
part
of
our
kind
of
like
first
phase
of
projects
for
other
control.
C
F
C
F
The
headworks
project-
this
is
our
second
progressive
design,
build
job,
really
impressive,
very
large
in
size.
Jacobs
is
again
our
partner
for
design
building
this
one,
I'm
just
showing
you
some
of
the
new
construction
that
is
happening.
This
will
also
replace
the
original
headworks
facility
that
we
have
from
the
50s
brand
new
state
of
the
art
and
again
the
drones
are
a
good
way
to
show
just
so
you
can
see
the
extent
you
can
see
the
cranes
they.
These
are
really
deep
excavations
that
have
been
done
right
now.
F
You
can
see
here
some
of
the
newest
structures
being
constructed.
We
are
making
good
progress
with
this,
and
this
is
actually
one
of
the
more
complex
construction
that
we
have
right
now.
We
are
happy
to
answer
more
questions
and
then
just
a
few
other
projects,
notification
clarifier,
we
have
phase
one.
This
is
one
of
our
regular
rehabilitation
projects,
we're
just
basically
having
equipment
and
mechanisms
in
the
tanks
and
doing
some
modifications.
F
F
The
jar
piping
improvements,
we're
gonna
advertise,
our
fire
light
safety
and
a
full
channel,
and
we
are
also
gonna
initiate
some
other
improvements
on
some
of
the
jar
piping
that
we
show
you
at
the
beginning
in
terms
of
programmatic
activities.
Just
to
give
you
a
sense,
we
are
going
to
be
seeking
new
general
engineering
master
agreements,
we're
almost
at
the
end
of
our
current
master
agreement.
So
this
is
just
part
of
our
ongoing
professional
services.
F
They,
this
is
kind
of
going
through
december.
Actually
they
built
the
virtual
vendor.
Open
house
happened
in
february
and
that's
something
that
we
do
every
year
just
to
give
the
community
of
consultants
and
contractors
a
sense
of
what
is
happening,
make
them
aware
of
opportunities
and
then
just
highlight
some
of
the
things
that
we're
doing
in
the
program
and
then
we're
just
going
to
continue
also
with
recruitment
activities.
F
We
have
still
quite
a
bit
of
vacancies,
especially
in
the
engineering
part
that
we're
trying
to
feel,
and
hopefully
that
will
that
will
be
more
successful
this
year
as
well,
and
that's
the
end
of
the
presentation,
I
try
to
keep
it
to
less
than
10
minutes.
So
if
you
guys
have
questions
we're
happy
to
take
any
questions,
you
may
have.
B
B
F
Have
around
10
10
vacancies
right
now
we
are
a
division
of
52,
so
it's
like
20
percent
of
our
mission
right
now
we
have
had
for
the
last
few
years.
Several
of
our
senior
engineering
positions
is
having
unable
to
recruit
for,
and
we
have
a
couple
of
associate
engineers
and
just
some
technician,
level
positions
right
now.
B
F
B
E
Hi
blair
beekman
here
I
wasn't
sure
that
you'd
see
my
hands,
so
I
was
going
up
and
down.
Thank
you
very
much
for
taking
my
public
comment
at
this
time.
I
guess
happy
monday
after
easter,
I
I
got
the
sense
from
this
past
weekend
that
there's
a
bit
of
I
don't
know
if
the
term
is
reckoning,
but
there
seems
to
be
a
new
need
of
holding
our
local
government
and
federal
government
accountable
for
recent
practices
we're
three
months
into
a
new
administration.
E
I
guess
it's
time
to
review
ourselves
and
what
we're
doing
I
know
I
am
certainly
going
through
that
personally
and
it
hurts-
and
I
think
I
think
the
democratic
side
of
things
owes
our
public
to
be
straightforward
with
their
thinking.
The
republican
side
of
things
needs
to
stop
their
have
a
real,
serious
head
trip
going
on
that
they
need
to
consider
with
all.
E
We
create
like
a
one
system
of
of
wires
and
pipes
and
and
for
you
know,
telecom
for
electric
needs,
electricity
needs
and
wastewater
too.
I
heard
and
water
all
within
one
system,
and
it
was
explained
that
day
that
the
purple
pipes
of
san
jose-
you
know
it
was
a
great
new
project.
A
few
years
ago,
could
not
be
a
part
of
the
the
new
google
system
downtown,
and
this.
G
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
and
I'm
not
gonna
need
two
minutes.
I
want
to
bring
you
attention
that
I'm
able
to
get
close
captioning.
If
I'm
watching
the
meeting
on
youtube.
There
is
a
time
delay,
but
I'm
unable
to
turn
on
closed
captioning
for
zoom.
So
I'd
really
appreciate
if
staff
could
look
into
the
way
to
enable
closed
captioning
for
zoom
meetings.
Thank
you
very
much.
B
H
Yeah,
I
hope
you
guys
focus
on
you
know
real
issues
like
the
water
utilities.
It
seems
as
if
you
want
to
focus
on
bike
lanes
and
other
things.
It's
really
important
to
focus
on
the
infrastructure
of
the
city.
You
know
pave
the
roads,
don't
rename
them,
but
yeah
keep
you
guys
better,
keep
close
attention
when
it
comes
to
waste,
water
and
our
waterways
and
how
the
water
works,
and
you
guys
need
to
to
make
sure
that
valley,
water,
san
jose
water
and
all
these
people
are
doing
doing
the
right
thing.
H
H
It's
really
clear
how
unorganized
you
are
and
how
it's
easy
to
talk
about
the
homeless
or
some
other
fringe
group
of
people
versus
what
really
matters,
which
is
I
mean
we
all
drink
and
have
to
use
water
and
clean
the
people
on
the
city,
council
and
everything
else.
You
guys
are
suicidal,
I
swear
to
god,
it's
unbelievable
what
you
people
do,
and
I
also
want
to
wish
everyone
a
happy
easter
monday,
since
the
city
was
unable
to
wish
everybody
a
happy
easter.
Why?
I
don't
know
thanks
a.
B
C
C
The
only
downside
to
that
is
that
if
google
were
to
tap
into
the
purple
pipes,
google
might
spend
some
money
to
help
extend
the
purple
pipes
and
without
google
doing
that
the
city
doesn't
benefit
from
getting
their
pipes
extended
into
that
area,
because
google
would
pay
for
it,
but
it
really,
this
doesn't
have
any
effect
on
whether
or
not
the
city
can
continue
to
expand
purple
pipes
on
its
own
to
any
place
in
the
city.
So
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
was
clear
since
it
sounded
like
there
was
some
confusion
about
that.
B
B
I
J
Thank
you
jessica,
good
afternoon,
chair
and
council
members
committee
members.
Let
me
share
my
screen
here
and
jump
right
in
get
myself
on
the
right
screen.
So
yeah
we're
gonna
go
through
the
the
annual
bike
plan.
Now
the
better
bike
plan,
25
report
and
the
annual
trails
update.
Let
me
just
get
us
in
the
right
there
we
go
from
beginning
all
right
there
we
go
so
we're
gonna
go
through
implementation
status
on
our
bikeways
and
trails.
J
We
wanted
to
start
off
first
with
a
bit
of
a
celebration,
as
we've
been
kind
of
telling
you
guys
for
a
long
time.
The
the
last
bike
plan
bike
plan
2020
came
out
to
a
finish,
not
only
because
the
year
2020
came
and
passed,
but
because
we
actually
accomplished
the
mileage
goal
in
that
plan
it
was
400
and
as
of
the
end
of
the
year
we
had
401
and
by
the
end
of
the
pavement
year,
it
looks
like
it'll
be
around
406
to
408..
J
K
K
K
This
is
our
current
public-facing
map,
we're
in
the
process
of
updating
it,
but
I
wanted
to
show
you
because
it
gives
you
a
good
overall
vision
of
what
we're
looking
at.
So
you
can
see
a
lot
of
our
north
west
north
excuse
me.
North
south
trails
have
been
completed,
or
at
least
envisioned,
but
there
aren't
as
many
east-west
trails,
and
that
is
because
many
san
jose
trails
run
along
creeks
and
river
corridors,
which
are
mainly
north
south,
like
coyote
los
gatos
guadalupe.
K
K
K
K
For
example,
in
cd6
we
have
a
couple
of
segments
of
the
three
creeks
trail
stemming
from
the
new
bridge,
there's
also
a
short
spur
from
the
o'dot
morrow
trail
off
of
coyote
creek
trail
and
cd2,
but
you
can
see
many
of
the
upcoming
trail
projects
in
this
map.
Coyote
creek
specifically,
is
very
busy.
Some
of
it
is
even
under
construction
as
we
speak.
I
was
just
on
a
field
visit
this
morning
to
look
at
to
look
at
another
segment
of
it.
So
it's
very
active
you
can
see
thompson.
K
K
These
are
the
trails
that
will
be
developed
to
construction
within
the
next
few
years,
and
the
reason
that
we
only
wanted
to
show
a
few
years
out
is
because,
after
a
few
years,
timelines
for
trail
development
can
get
fuzzy
just
because
of
major
and
unpredictable
events
like
floods
and
other
natural
disasters
and
social
issues
and
things
that
seem
as
simple
as
executive
changes
at
railroads
can
really
throw
a
wrench
into
trail
development
plans.
But
I
wanted
to
also
show
so.
There
are
many
other
trail
projects
that
we're
working
on.
K
We
have
a
total
of
about
30
trails
trail
segments
that
we're
working
on.
So
I
also
included
a
couple
of
photos
ramses
if
you
can
go
to
the
next
slide,
so,
for
example,
this
is.
This
was
taken
actually
last
year
on
a
field
visit
with
advocates
this.
It
shows
the
alignment
for
our
five
wounds
trail,
which
is
in
cd,
three
and
seven,
and
if
you
could
continue
on
to
the
next
slide,.
K
So
this
one
is
the
guadalupe
river
trail
between
virginia
and
chinwood.
So
both
of
these,
this,
the
guadalupe
river
trail
through
cd,
six
and
nine,
is
still
in
the
master
plan.
Phase
we're
working
with
a
water,
district
and
they're
also
doing
flood
improvements,
and
the
five
wounds
trail
is
in
the
planning
phase.
We
actually
just
had
our
first
site
visit
last
week,
so
it's
exciting
stuff
and
hopefully
they
will
be
on
the
ground
within
the
next
10
years.
So
that
is
all
I
have
for
now.
J
J
You
have
this
kind
of
barred,
striping
here,
that'll
be
filled
in
with
curb
starting
by
the
or
the
construction
project,
we'll
start
by
the
end
of
the
month
and
then
on
the
right
side.
Here
we
have
east
san
antonio.
This
is
a
very
important,
east-west
connection
in
the
bike
network.
It
is
one
of
the
few
places
where
we
can
really
make
sure.
There's
there's
strong
support
for
bicyclists
going
west
one
of
the
clear
directives
we
got
from
council
when
we
adopted
the
bike
plan.
J
You
can
see
here
both
protected
treatments
that
we
are
doing
at
some
intersections,
some
roundabouts
to
protect
that,
and
also,
interestingly,
with
this
project,
actually
right
at
this
corner
here
in
the
bottom
right.
There's
some
local
designed
art
stamped
into
the
sidewalks
that
we
were
able
to
work
with
some
local
artists
on
here
are
some
other
current
paving
program
projects.
You
may
have
noticed
on
nagli
or
lane
reduction
there
in
front
of
the
the
hashery
or
the
schools
or
the
museum
out
there,
that
segment
of
negley
just
got
a
great
redo
fruit.
J
Dale
is
being
paved
as
we
speak,
and
here
are
some
other
ones.
This
next
paving
year
for
2021
we're
looking
at
10
miles
of
new
bikeways
and
20
miles
of
enhancements
to
existing
bikeways,
either
going
to
buffer
or
protected
all
right.
So
getting
into
the
funding
conversation
kind
of
keeping
this
top
of
mind
for
folks,
the
total
on-street
network
costs
for
the
bike
plan
you
can
see.
The
ranges
here
are
upwards
of
260
million.
J
J
Sorry,
the
the
of
those
focus
areas
get
us
out
to
about
120
120
162
million,
and
then
we
have
our
five-year
priority
projects,
and
these
are
a
really
big
bang
for
the
buck,
most
effective
projects
and
there
we're
looking
at
70
to
94
million
we're
looking
at
a
whole
host
of
different
strategies,
mostly
grant
strategies
to
get
this
done
to
see
what
we
can
do.
We
have
some
of
them
in
hand
like
the
transportation
development
act,
but
we
are
starting.
J
A
program
of
you
know:
developing
grant
applications
early
and
working
with
vta,
mtc
and
other
funding
bodies
to
really
look
at
this
we're
even
looking
at
a
philanthropy
based
attempt
at
seeing
if
folks
kind
of
like
the
bloomberg
folks
came
in
with
the
climate
challenge,
we're
looking
to
see
if
there's
other
influent
traffic
sources
of
funds
for
this
as
well
again.
These
are
the
focus
areas
on
the
left
and
on.
J
The
right
are
the
the
primary
on
street
network,
which
is
mostly
the
the
five-year
plan,
and
you
can
see
how
it
kind
of
spreads
across
the
city
and
really
gives
a
lot
of
folks
a
great
way
to
get
around
town
by
bike
and
I'll
pass.
It
back
to
liz
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
project
development
and
funding
on
her
side.
K
But
that
number
includes
the
all
of
the
studies:
master
plans,
environmental
work,
design,
construction,
project
management,
everything
and
the
the
build
out
of
the
trail
network
to
date
has
mainly
been
accomplished
by
aligning
our
aligning
and
leveraging
local
resources
to
and
competitive
grants.
But
it
unfortunately
has
not
been
enough
to
keep
pace
with
the
previous
goal
of
100
miles
of
trails
by
2022.
I
think
that
was
in
the
green
vision.
K
J
Great
thanks
liz
and
oh
sorry,
there
was
that
animation.
I
was
supposed
to
help
you
there
with
all
right
and
then.
Lastly,
this
is
going
to
counsel
full
council,
but
we
want
to
make
sure
we
air
it
with
you.
First,
this
is
the
annual
transportation
development
act
or
tda
3.,
it's
a
very
flexible
source
of
funding
that
we
can
use
for
for
bike
and
safety
projects.
This
is
our
projected
uses,
or
our
stated
uses
that
we'd
like
to
bring
to
council
on
this.
J
This
this
fund
has
been
incredibly
helpful
and
patching
up
funding
holes
and
keeping
programs
going
when
there's
not
much
else.
Bike
projects
and
safety
projects
like
this
are
a
different
type
of
animal
than
the
big
huge
projects
we're
used
to
and
so
getting
flexible
funding
is
one
of
the
most
important
things
because
you
are
moving
smaller
things
around
having
immense
amounts
of
administration.
On
top
of
it
really
make
it
very
hard
to
match
them
up,
and
so
we're
really.
B
E
Hi,
thank
you.
I
will
try
my
best
to
keep
on
topic.
Thank
you
for
the
words
of
council
person
cohen
on
the
previous
item,
who
totally
clarified
what
I
was
trying
to
ask
about
and
get
to,
and
I
just
ran
out
of
time
to
speak
a
bit
more
about
it
and
he
clarified
it
very
well.
Thank
you
about
this
item.
The
vta
is
working
a
lot.
E
I've
been
mentioning
recently
on
super
bike
trails,
super
highway
issues
and
the
bta
is
developing
an
overall
philosophy
that
they're
really
going
to
be
counting
on
san
jose
for
its
bike
trail
decision
making
in
its
future-
and
you
know,
there's
a
good
group
of
people
who
work
with
bta
issues.
You
know
we're
trying
to
create
ideas
of
what
can
be
equity
for
the
future
of
bike
trails
and
how
that
relates
to
east
side
issues.
It's
really
important,
there's
no
super
highway
stuff.
E
That
goes
a
super
bike
highway
step
that
goes
into
south
san
jose
or
east
san
jose
goes
into
east
san,
jose
through
south
san
jose.
It's
all
north
san
jose
projects,
you're
interested
in
the
east-west
connections.
How
can
that
be
done?
In
an
equitable
way
and
to
really
monitor
the
gentrification
process
that
may
be
taking
place,
that
paul
soto
is
so
worried
about
good
luck
in
how
you
address
these
things,
there's
going
to
be
vision,
zero
issues
involved,
and
that
means
there's
going
to
be
issues
of
surveillance
and
technology.
L
Thank
you
for
that
blair.
I
appreciate
that
I
I
really
do
my
name
is
paul
soto
and
a
few
items
number
one
safety
and
equity.
Those
words
were
not
defined
within
the
context
of
bike
trails.
I
need
them
explicitly
defined
on
how
you
define
those
words
within
the
context
of
this
conversation.
That's
number
one
number
two
trails
along
the
railroad
corridors
which
connect
all
these
canneries.
L
L
What
I
take
great
exception
with,
and
I
hope
that
it
stops
being
perverted
and
prostituted,
because
that's
exactly
what
is
happening
in
with
respect
to
the
grants
that
are
submitted.
Here's
what
I
mean
by
that
when
you
start
using
the
word
equity
immediately
after
you
talked
about
equity.
The
slide
went
to
where
the
trails
were
going
to
be
primarily
located
that
were
going
to
be
built
up
in
terms
of
the
infrastructure
and
the
improvements
it
was
fruitdale
lean
avenue.
L
L
It
needs
to
stop,
and
I
need
some
advocacy
on
this
council
in
order
to
to
clearly
state
and
signal
that
you
are
not
going
to
use
the
poverty
that
was
created
in
this
area.
That
has
not
been
rectified,
reconciled
or
restituted
yet,
but
yet
you're
going
to
use
it
to
insert
it
in
these
documents
in
order
to
get
the
grant
approvals.
L
H
I
mean
these
bike
lanes
are
wonderful,
but
it's
making
driving
really
terrible.
You
talked
about
the
bike
lanes
on
nagli
awful.
You
got
to
make
a
turn
from
meridian
or
a
park
on
to
nagli,
and
there
you
you
can't
help
but
go
into
the
bike
lane.
You
made
this
turn
so
tight.
It's
not
good
for
cars,
it's
not
good
for
cyclists
and
then
the
bike
lane
that
parallels
the
rose
garden.
H
You
gotta
smash
your
tires
into
the
curb
to
be
able
to
parallel
park
the
thing
because
there's
no
room
for
parking
and
some
vehicles
are
wider
than
others
and
they
go
into
the
bike
lane
not
good
for
the
not
good
for
the
cyclists,
not
good
for
the
driver.
You
guys
need
to
redo
these
bike
lanes.
Some
of
them
are
nice.
You
know
the
way
that
you
do
it.
H
Other
ones
are
squared
off,
so
it's
almost
impossible
to
make
the
turn
without
going
into
the
bike
lane,
and
we
all
know,
what's
going
to
happen,
you
guys
are
going
to
have
sjpd
out
there,
making
sure
no
one's
tire
goes
into
the
bike
lane
and
give
give
that
person
a
nice
fat
ticket,
because
that's
what
you
people
do
right.
You
design
things
for
for
that
to
happen.
So
the
bike
lanes
on
10th
and
11th,
you
guys
shouldn't
be
proud
of
those
at
all.
You
guys
should
be
ashamed
of
yourself.
H
Those
bike
lanes
are
terrible,
totally
non-intuitive
easy
to
drive
into.
I
don't
know
who
thought
of
that,
but
they
were
a
complete.
They
should
have
been
a
lot
more
narrow
next
time.
You
guys
repaint
these
bike
lanes.
You
need
to
think
about
not
just
the
cyclists
but
the
driver
and
the
and
and
you're
spending
hundreds
of
millions
of
dollars.
These
roads
are
as
bumpy
as
anything.
You
guys
need
to
repave
these
roads
you're
talking
about
getting
them
repaved
in
the
next
10
or
15
years.
H
G
C
Oh
thanks
so
much
for
taking
my
call
well
my
opportunity
to
speak.
Actually
I
just
want
to
thank
you
guys
for
all
the
effort
that
you
do
to
put
bike
lanes
in.
I
am
a
cyclist
and
I
recognize
that
there's
challenges.
Sometimes
one
of
the
caller
was
talking
about
cars
versus
bikes
and
the
you
know
having
to
balance
that
out,
and
I
understand
that-
that's
a
probably
a
very
challenging
task.
So
I
just
really
want
to
thank
you
guys
for
putting
in
that.
C
I
put
25
miles
on
my
bike
over
the
weekend
and
I
wrote
on
some
really
really
nice
trails
that
I
just
looked
up
and
smiled
and
said.
Thank
you
for
this
being
here,
which
is
so
nice,
and
you
know,
of
course,
there's
going
to
be
issues
and,
of
course,
there's
going
to
be
challenges
and
but
being
able
to
take
my
bike
and
go
for
a
nice
long
ride
is
really
great.
So
thank
you
so
much.
D
Yeah
thank
you
chair
and
thank
you
to
the
staff
on
this
presentation.
Certainly,
as
we've
begun
a
lot
of
our
efforts
in
building
out
our
bike
lanes.
That
work
has
started
in
the
downtown
core
and
and
really
branched
out
and
so
appreciate,
seeing
all
that
investment
and
being
able
to
to
actually
utilize
that
as
a
resident
of
downtown
on
a
daily
basis.
D
J
Yeah,
thanks
and
and
peter
was
a
huge
asset
to
us
and
we're
sadie
left
friday
was
actually
his
last
day
and
we've
been
triaging
his
workload
on
all
of
that
yeah.
So
we
are
continuing,
we're
passing
actually
ryan
smith,
who
was
on
the
call
there
he
is
he
is
still
here,
is
taking
on
a
lot
of
the
workload
and
making
sure
that
we
continue
that
level
of
project
engagement,
public
outreach
in
particular
and
and
making
sure
we.
J
D
No,
you
did,
and
just
for
those
individuals
that
might
be
taking
over
his
responsibilities
for
some
of
these
projects
that
impact
district
three,
I
would
love
to
just
just-
have
them
reach
out
to
my
office.
So
that
way
we
can
and
I've
actually
worked
with
them
already,
but
we
just
wanted
to
be
able
to
ensure
that
we
have
a
smooth
transition
and
then,
in
regards
to
the
bike
lanes
that
are
on
10th
and
11th
street,
I
believe
was
on
slide
9.
D
J
Yeah
thanks
for
the
question
absolutely,
and
we
totally
understand
that
when
you
change
the
roadway
and
then
it
doesn't
all
happen
at
once,
it's
not
exactly
what
we
want
to
do.
We
did
have
a
coveted,
related
supply
chain
slowdown
that
led
to
the
bollards
coming
in
later
than
we
expected.
They
are
arriving
this
week
and
we're
already
working
with
cruz
to
put
it
into
their
workflow,
so
we
should
start
seeing
bollards
going
up
very
shortly.
J
I
would
say
within
the
next
few
weeks
and
then
again,
there's
going
to
be
a
short
turnaround
and
some
places
where
the
curbs
are
going
up.
Those
the
construction
project
actually
put
the
curbs
in
which
is
the
ultimate
design
in
most
of
these
places,
we'll
we'll
start
by
the
end
of
the
month
and
so
we're
okay.
If
we
got
the,
we
got
the
candlesticks,
which
are
the
in
effect
the
cones,
the
the
kind
of
more
robust
cones
out
there.
D
Okay,
thank
you,
yeah,
and
I
did
see
the
park
here
bike
here
signs
and
those
made
it
even
that
much
more
helpful.
I
know
for
for
users.
Last
question
would
be
once
once
everything
is
installed.
The
bollards
at
least
are
installed.
How
are
we
going
to
be
monitoring
either
monitoring
for
education
and
then,
eventually
enforcement
for
these?
The
local
access
versus
the
through
street.
J
Process
right
I
mean
we're,
certainly
going
to
be
taking
complaints
and
we'll
I
I
live
two
blocks
from
here,
so
I'll
be
watching
and
jess
actually
lives
a
few
blocks
away
as
well,
and
so
we'll
definitely
be
kind
of
personally
monitoring
things.
But
there
is
not
necessarily
any
more
than
normal
traffic
enforcement,
but
it
looks
like
jess
wants
to
add
them
to.
D
Okay,
thank
you
very
much
yeah.
I
do
appreciate
again
the
work.
That's
that's
gone
into
this
and
look
forward
to
it
being
complete
and-
and
I
think
certainly
will
be
a
a
nice
improvement
from
what
we've
we've
seen
in
some
of
our
our
more
standard
bike
lanes
and
that's
it.
For
my
my
questions.
Thank
you.
I
I
J
I
mean
it's
really
exciting
right,
I
mean
the
the
the
new
secretary
of
transportation
being
a
city
person
and
not
only
a
city
person,
but
somebody
who
actually
has
has
put
in
his
time
as
mayor
when
he
was
mayor
fighting
for
complete
streets
and
fighting
for
safety
projects.
Right
on
I
mean
he
can
tell
you,
you
know
when
he
talks.
J
That's
coming
out
right
now,
as
well
as
we're
seeing
a
renewed
renewal
of
the
surface
transportation
act,
which
is
the
major
federal
funding
mechanism
for
it.
So
we're
quite
excited
to
see
that
motion
and
kind
of
have
city,
state
and
feds
all
lined
up
along
a
multimodal
greener
world
direction
is
it
could
be
pretty
beneficial
to
us.
I
Wonderful
great,
I'm
glad
to
hear
that
it
includes
that,
and
I
know
you'll
be
watching
and
working
with
them
and
mr
budage
as
much
as
possible.
He
is
a
little
wonky
in
that
subject,
but
that's
who
you
want
in
that
position.
I
suppose
with
that.
I
thank
you
very
much
with
that.
I
will
move
to
accept
the
report.
C
B
Thank
you.
Following
on
to
to
council
member
foley's
questions
on
the
the
infrastructure
package,
the
items
that
you've
seen
are
those
like
competitive
grants
or
are
they
gonna
be
kind
of
block
allocations?
Will
they
come
directly
to
us?
Will
we
have
to
compete
with
others
in
the
state?
How
what's
the
funding
kind
of
looking
like
it's
going
to
line
up
in.
J
Form
so
we're
still
waiting
to
see
exactly
what
happens
right
so
right
now,
there's
somewhat
competitive,
earmark-like
processes
going
on
so
we'll
see.
If
we
can
win
some
of
those,
then
in
the
infrastructure
bill
itself,
we're
not
really
sure
it's
still
kind
of
unclear
as
to
exactly
how
things
are
going
to
come
down,
but
it
looks
like
categorical
pieces
will
probably
end
up
being
usually
end
up
in
some
form
of
competition.
J
We
have
been
putting
a
lot
of
input
into
the
system
and
actually
have
had
it
accepted
as
part
of
the
our
state's
delegation's
input
to
the
process
that
flexible
spending,
particularly
around
these
kinds
of
projects,
is
really
really
important,
and
folks
have
really
listened
to
us
on
this
so
far.
So
we're
really
happy
to
hear
that.
J
But
at
this
point
you
know
it's
most
likely
going
to
be
what
it
normally
is,
which
is
some
program
funds
and
then
and
then
a
lot
of
competitive
funds
and
all
that
and
and
hopefully
the
the
systems
or
the
processes
change
in
such
a
way
that
that
the
competitive
funds
don't
come
with
overhead
that
ends
up
costing
you
about
half
the
funds.
Anyways,
so
that's
kind
of
what
we're
really
pushing
for.
I
Absolutely,
and
and
just
in
particular,
I
think
people
may
or
may
not
be
aware
that
senator
padilla
has
secured
a
space
on
the
environment
and
public
works
committee,
which
is
crafting
that
new
surface
transportation
authorization
so
feeding
his
team
directly.
Our
priorities,
including
for
vision,
zero
and
urban,
greening
and
other
complete
streets
aspects.
So
yeah
thanks,
awesome.
I
B
J
Yeah,
I
mean
we
have
an
identified
gaps
map
and
we
try
to
bring
this
money
along
when,
especially
when
pavement
programs
go
into
an
area
a
lot
of
times.
The
pavement
program
needs
to
get
the
pavement
down
and
the
other
things
in
the
area
don't
get
done,
and
so
we
like
to
have
some
extra
funding
to
help
kind
of
you
know
as
we
roll
the
street
out,
let's
roll
the
whole
environment
out
right,
and
so
this
is
funding
that
helps
us
with
that.
B
B
J
Yeah,
I
know
that
that's
sensible,
we,
I
can't
say
we
have
a
prioritization
system,
that
kind
of
looks
at
everything
altogether.
When
we
do
this,
we
we
roll
this
out
with
kind
of
an
on,
I
would
say
an
on
year
basis
and
and
kind
of
figure
out
where
the
most
value
is
going
to
be
where
projects
lead
into
you
know,
let's
say:
there's
curb
cuts
that
need
to
be
done,
there's
a
trail
connection
and
the
sidewalks
missing,
and
all
this
we'll
kind
of
try
to
do
it
together.
J
We,
you
know
it's
a
little
bit
ad
hoc
decision
making,
but
but
it
again
flexibility
and
trying
to
figure
out
how
it
how
it
works
is
the
best
here
we
are.
We
have
submitted
for
a
pedestrian
plan
for
the
city.
That
would
help
us
do
this,
because
the
problem
is,
we
have
a
decent
idea
of
where
the
gaps
are,
but
we
know
we're
missing
some
information,
especially
when
we
take
in
the
county
pockets.
I
Yeah
it
it
would.
I
just
I
want
to
be
clear.
Ramsey
said
we
have.
We
have
sought
that,
so
we
have
an
active
application
in
for
that
grant
funding,
because
we
don't
have
that
as
as
a
city,
and
so
if
we
get
that,
then
then
that
would
start
the
process
of
of
pulling
that
sidewalk
gap
inventory,
making
sure
it's
complete
and
setting
the
criteria
for
prioritization.
I
B
I
Yes,
so
the
the
disc
opportunity
to
raise
the
tracks
about
20
feet
up
will
in
fact,
as
as
roland
said,
give
us
a
new
opportunity
to
perhaps
repurpose
the
existing
rail
bridge
or
build
one
that's
associated
with
those
new
tracks
as
they
go
in.
We
see
that
as
a
great
opportunity
to
connect
across
280..
I
Sorry,
for
my
background
noise.
Looking
for
a
mask
and
with
that
in
mind,
you
know
that
is
a
great
new
connection.
But
I
think
our
colleagues
like
liz,
have
the
the
requirement
to
kind
of
plan
for
these
two
time
horizons
and
make
sure
that
the
trails
work
in
the
immediate
term,
as
well
as
make
sure
that
they
work
in
the
long
term,
with
the.
B
A
A
If
there's,
if
we're
going
to
deem
that
particular
project
interim,
even
if
it's
a
10-year
time
horizon
so
that
people
don't
look
back
at
us
and
say
well,
you
just
built
that
you
know
10
years
ago
and
now
you've
taken
it
out.
So
we're
being
mindful
of
that.
The
tricky
part
with
all
this
and
and
with
high
speed
rail
is
that
it's
hard
to
really
pin
things
down.
So
there's
a
good
share
of
guesswork
in
what
we're
doing,
but
we're
trying
to
be
careful.
B
Thank
you,
yeah.
I
think
it's
it's
worth
continuing
to
have
these
conversations,
because,
even
even
if
high-speed
rail
doesn't
come,
there's
still
the
google
or
the
caltrain
expansion
and
and
of
course
the
the
google
project
and
and
caltrain
does
have
a
dedicated
source
of
funding
and
we're
talking
about.
B
Potentially,
you
know
hundreds
more
cranes
a
day
than
they
have
than
they
have
now,
if
ridership
recovers
and
all
of
all
of
those
things
which
we
won't
know
for
a
few
years.
So
I
I
appreciate
that
I
think
we're
gonna
have
to
continue
having
those
conversations
and
it
wasn't
something
that
I
thought
of
until
until
just
said,
you
know,
there's
phasing
issues
and
I
hadn't,
I
hadn't
thought
about
yeah
the
the
tracks
going
up
and
then
we
build
a
trail
and
then
the
trail
doesn't
connect
to
the
new
spots.
So
thank
you.
B
B
C
B
C
Hi,
thank
you,
council,
chair
and
members
of
the
committee
and
members
of
the
public.
My
name
is
reginee
nair,
I'm
the
deputy
director
for
the
watershed
protection
division
and
environmental
services
department.
My
one
of
my
staff,
casey
fitzgerald
who's,
one
of
the
program
managers
that
oversees
this
program
he'll
be
doing
the
presentation.
So
thank
you.
M
You,
chairperson,
davis
council
members
staff
members
of
the
public
good
afternoon,
I'm
casey
fitzgerald
senior
environmental
program
manager
with
the
watershed
protection
division
of
the
environmental
services
department
in
this
afternoon's
presentation,
we'll
be
discussing
the
city's
industrial
pre-treatment
program.
We'll
give
an
overview
of
the
program
elements
in
history,
we'll
discuss
some
of
the
programmatic
elements
and
some
some
of
the
work
we've
done
during
the
pandemic
and
we'll
also
review
proposed
ordinance
changes.
Chapter
1514
of
the
san
jose
municipal
code,
also
known
as
the
sewer
use
ordinance.
M
So
the
city
of
san
jose
operates
two
sewer
systems.
The
sanitary
sewer
system
collects
and
transports
wastewater
from
indoor
uses
to
the
regional
wastewater
facility,
where
it's
treated
prior
to
discharge
to
the
bay.
This
is
commonly
known
as
the
collection
system,
the
storm
sewer
system
collects
rain,
water
and
other
runoff
from
outdoor
uses.
This
water
is
largely
untreated
and
is
discharged
directly
to
the
creeks
into
the
bay.
This
system
is
commonly
known
as
the
ms4
or
the
municipal
separate
storm
sewer
system.
M
M
So
why
is
pre-treatment?
Important
industrial
protein
first
and
foremost,
is
a
direct
requirement
under
the
clean
water
act.
Industrial
users
are
required
to
treat
their
waste
at
their
own
expense
prior
to
discharge,
to
ensure
suitability
with
downstream
systems.
Free
treatment
is
important
for
the
protection
of
human
health,
the
environment
and
infrastructure.
M
It's
important
to
note
that
the
our
regional
wastewater
facility
is
designed
to
treat
conventional
pollutants
only
that
includes
things
like
ph,
solid
materials,
floating
materials
sinking,
not
necessarily
the
kinds
of
toxic
pollutants
that
you
would
see
coming
from
industrial
discharges.
These
include
things
like
metals,
solvents,
cyanides,
proprietary
chemistries.
M
This
is
where
our
program
comes
in,
to
regulate
these
wastes
and
to
protect
our
regional
wastewater
facility.
I
I've
included
some
pictures
of
what
unmitigated
industrial
pollution
looks
like
in
the
sanitary
sewer
system
in
the
upper
right.
That
photo
is
louisville.
Kentucky
this
is
a
low
part
in
the
sewer
main,
where
an
industrial
discharger
had
been
discharging
hexane
gas
over
a
period
of
time.
M
Once
conditions
were
right
and
a
vehicle
was
driving
overhead,
a
spark
created
an
explosion
in
the
sewer
system
resulting
in
the
loss
of
life
and,
as
you
can
see,
some
pretty
heavy
infrastructure
damage
the
picture
on
the
lower
right.
Most
of
you
likely
seen.
This
is
the
cuyahoga
river
in
ohio
in
the
1950s
and
60s.
M
M
It
also
includes
general
and
specific
prohibitions,
in
addition
to
industry-specific
regulations
at
the
state
level,
the
state's
responsible
for
administering
the
npds
or
the
national
pollutant
discharge
elimination
system.
This
is
a
permitting
program
to
allow
discharges
to
the
waters
of
the
state
in
the
rwf
or
the
regional
wastewater
facilities.
Permit,
there's
actually
a
direct
requirement
to
implement
a
a
pre-treatment
program.
This
is
based
on
the
size
of
the
of
the
facility
itself,
the
volume
of
its
flows
and
also
the
industrial
component
flowing
into
it
at
a
local
level.
M
M
It's
focused
on
protecting
our
receiving
waters,
which
is
the
south
end
of
the
san
francisco
bay,
and
it
also
looks
at
the
regional
wastewater
facilities
ability
to
remove
certain
types
of
pollutants
all
this.
All
this
helps
to
shape
kind
of
an
industrial
component
of
what
industrial
users
can
discharge
to
our
to
our
regional
wastewater
facility.
M
The
final
point
I'll
make
on
local
regulations
is
that
we
are
required
to
develop
local
regulations
to
through
the
our
sewer
use
ordinance,
which
we'll
discuss
a
little
bit
later
on
a
little
bit
on
the
regulatory
structure
that
we
exist
in.
We
are
a
regulatory
authority
just
as
we
regulate
industries
in
our
area.
So
too
are
we
regulated
by
the
state
and
the
federal
government.
M
The
the
overall
delegation
goes
from
the
feds
to
the
state
and
to
us,
so
our
program
is
somewhat
unique
in
that
we
directly
enforce
federal
law.
I
will
also
note
that
with
that
comes
a
lot
of
scrutiny.
So,
since
2009
our
program
has
been
audited
by
the
state
or
the
federal
government,
a
total
of
seven
times.
M
M
This
service
area
includes
the
city
of
san
jose
and
santa
clara
as
co-owners
of
the
regional
wastewater
facility.
It
also
includes
milpitas,
west
valley,
sanitation,
district
cupertino,
sanitary
district,
burbank,
sanitary
district
and
county
sanitation,
districts
2-3
as
what
we
call
the
tributary
agencies
or
contributing
jurisdictions.
M
So,
a
little
bit
about
the
history
of
the
program,
this
program
started
as
what
was
called
the
industrial
waste
program
in
the
1950s
when
our
regional
wastewater
facility
was
was
formed.
The
primary
focus
at
that
time
was
on
cannery
wastes
and
the
production
of
what
was
called
weekly
cannery
reports.
So
at
that
point
flow
was
a
big
issue,
as
was
biological
pollution,
so
you
know
just
solids
and
other
other
materials
that
just
take
a
lot
to
break
down
at
our
regional
wastewater
facility.
M
M
This
really
paved
the
way
for
what
would
become
the
modern
pre-treatment
regulations
in
the
1980s,
the
city
of
san
jose,
formalized
its
pre-treatment
program
gaining
state
approval
to
implement
this
program.
We've
continuously
implemented
this
program
since,
and
I
do
want
to
say
that
this
program
has
also
adapted
to
local
industrial
trends.
Over
time
we
saw
this
valley
start
with
the
canneries
and
then
move
into
defense
contractors
followed
by
hard
disk,
drives
printed
circuit
boards,
semiconductor
fabrication.
M
More
recently,
we've
seen
trends
in
solar
research
and
development
and
pharmaceutical
manufacturing,
and
as
we
move
into
the
future,
this
program
will
continue
to
adapt.
You
know,
as
we
start
looking
at
wastewater
as
a
resource,
a
possible
source
of
drinking
water,
we
will
continue
to
protect
those
sources
for
for
our
citizens.
M
A
few
of
the
program
elements
I
want
to
touch
on,
so
we
have
a
full
inspection
monitoring
program
where
we
have
about
250
permitted
facilities
that
we
inspect
and
sample
two
to
four
times
per
year.
We
have
a
full
permitting
program.
We
permit
all
of
our
industrial
users
on
a
five-year
cycle.
We
also
issue
temporary
or
short-term
permits
to
construction
projects
in
the
area.
M
We
have
a
reporting
program
where
we
receive
industrial
self-monitor
reports
from
the
industries
that
we
regulate,
but
we
also
provide
regular,
twice
yearly
reports
to
our
state
regulators.
We
have
an
enforcement
model
or
an
enforcement
program.
That's
based
on
an
escalating
enforcement
model.
This
includes
includes
things
like
verbal
warnings.
Warning
notices
escalating
all
the
way
up
to
notices
of
violation,
administrative
citations
and
other
legal
avenues.
M
We
also
have
a
surveillance
monitoring
program
that
we
implement.
This
works
to
seek
out
instances
of
illegal
dumping
by
our
industries,
and
it
also
serves
as
a
deterrent
to
to
illegal
dumping,
and,
finally,
just
wanted
to
highlight
that
we
have
a
full
dental
amalgam
program.
We
regulate
dental
practices
in
in
the
south
bay
area.
We
currently
have
around
850
dental
practices
permitted.
M
The
graph
on
the
right
here
shows
some
of
the
trends
over
time
and
some
of
the
heavy
metals
at
our
regional
wastewater
facility,
you're,
looking
at
trends
from
around
1975
until
last
year,
as
you
can
see,
there's
been
some
pretty
significant
declines
in
metals
concentrations
that
are
at
our
regional
wastewater
facility.
That's
thanks
in
part
to
the
efforts
of
this
program,
but
I
would
also
say
you
know
an
overall
trend
in
society
towards
you
know
better
environmental
stewardship.
M
So
I
wanted
to
highlight
some
of
the
industry
types
that
our
team
regulates
here
in
the
valley,
so
the
first
picture
upper
left.
This
is
a
metal
plating,
operation,
you're,
looking
at
a
plating,
tank
filled
with
dissolved
metals.
The
pollutants
of
concern
here
obviously,
would
be
those
dissolved
metals,
but
also
ph
and
other
chemistries
coming
from
these
sites.
This
is
where
we
really
rely
on
industry
to
pre-treat
their
waste
to
take
care
of
their
problems
before
they
send
them
to
us.
M
If
this
plate
and
waste
were
to
come
to
our
facility,
there
would
be
little
that
we
could
do
and
it
could
flow
out
untreated,
depending
on
the
volume
that
comes
through
in
the
upper
right
you're.
Looking
at
semiconductor
fabrication,
we
have
a
number
of
those
in
our
area
among
pre-treatment
programs
in
the
united
states,
we
have
probably
the
highest
percentage
of
semiconductor
houses
in
our
area
where
we're
so
pollutants
of
concern
here
would
include
metals
again,
but
also
solvents
and
other
exotic
chemistries.
A
lot
of
proprietary
chemistries
used
in
these
semiconductor
fabs.
M
So
our
inspectors
work
closely
with
them
to
understand.
You
know,
what's
going
on
what
are
the?
What's
the
chemistry
being
used,
how
can
we
best
control
it?
The
picture
on
the
bottom
left
is
a
food
manufacturing
facility.
We
we
regulate
those
as
well
pollutants
of
concern.
There
are
mainly
solids
oils
and
greases,
but
also
some
of
the
cleaning
chemistries
and
disinfectant
compounds
that
these
places
use
can
be
quite
acidic
or
basic
and
can
have
impacts
on
our
collection
system
and
then.
Finally,
the
last
picture.
M
M
They
manufacture,
asphalt
and,
of
course,
the
concern
there
would
be
solids
oils
and
greases
and
flammable
substances.
So,
of
course,
I
just
wanted
to
show
you
a
quick
subset
of
the
things
that
we
look
at.
We
we
regulate
any
number
of
businesses
and
industries
in
the
valley.
Here
also
want
to
note
that
the
federal
regulations
themselves
have
specific
discharge
limits
that
are
built
on
specific
industry
types.
There's
around
50
industrial
classes
that
the
federal
government
looks
at
nationwide.
M
M
Excuse
me,
so
the
pre-treatment
program
relies
on
several
tools
to
enforce
environmental
regulations.
This
includes
our
permitting
program,
as
mentioned
where
all
dischargers
are
required
to
obtain
a
permit
prior
to
discharge
to
our
system.
We
have
our
inspection
and
monitoring
programs
where
we
inspect
and
monitor
each
industry.
Two
to
four
times
per
year,
we
operated
a
full
enforcement
program
that
ensures
consistency
and
escalation
through
state
approved
and
through
a
state-improved
enforcement
response
plan.
M
M
You
know
we
work
in
a
pretty
defined
lane
of
regulation.
However,
we
do
have
inspectors
on
the
ground
at
facilities
at
any
given
time.
If
we,
if
we
observe
possible
violations
of
ordinances
outside
of
our
jurisdiction,
we
we
do
have
a
full
referral
process
for
that,
so
you
know
collectively
all
of
us
regulatory
agencies.
Here
you
know
we
try
to
work
together
to
be.
M
You
know
if
we
notice
something
that
may
be
of
interest
to
another
agency,
we'll
forward
that
on
shifting
gears
wanted
to
touch
base
and
talk
a
little
bit
about
the
covert
19
pandemic.
Obviously
you
know
as
a
regulatory
agency
that
relies
on
inspectors
being
in
the
field
and
at
the
businesses
that
we
regulate.
Certainly,
we
had
to
make
some
changes
there.
In
march
2020
we
went
ahead
and
transitioned
to
a
full
remote
workforce.
M
These
were
submitted
eoc
back
in
july
august
of
last
year
and
were
approved
in
in
the
fall
we
so
as
conditions
change
with
the
county's
orders
from
purple
to
red
to
orange
tier.
You
know
we'll
adapt
based
on
city
manager's
direction
for
our
field
crews
and
then,
finally,
on
the
slide
wanted
to
highlight
some
of
the
work
that
we
did.
We
supported
our
laboratory
and
regional
partners
in
a
a
regional
effort
to
monitor
covet
19
in
our
collection
system.
M
So
the
picture
on
the
the
upper
right
here
is
two
of
our
inspectors:
prepping
a
sampler
to
drop
into
the
collection
system.
Let's
see,
okay
today
we're
also
advancing
an
update
to
san
jose
municipal
code,
chapter
15.14,
that's
commonly
referred
to
as
the
sewer
use,
ordinance
or
the
sewer
use
regulations.
M
It's
a
two-part
update
and
it
includes
changes
to
the
municipal
codes
as
well
as
revisions
to
some
of
the
administrative
citation
fine
amounts.
These
updates
are
largely
driven
by
regulatory
audit
findings
and
they
include
the
incorporation
of
additional
definitions
and
an
overall
harmonization
of
our
sewer
use
ordinance
with
some
of
the
federal
regulations.
M
The
update
also
includes
some
staff
staff
recommended
changes.
These
include
streamlining
code,
references
to
better
enforce
violations
and
enhancing
clarification
for
industrial
users
on
certain
program
requirements,
including
permit
transfers
and
dental
practice,
specific
requirements
all
told
the
these
all
told
these
updates
will
work
to
strengthen
the
city's
ability
to
enforce
environmental
code
violations
and
they'll
clarify
requirements
for
our
industrial
users
discharging
to
our
system
the
the
the
code,
the
code
update
itself
is
somewhat
unique.
So
I
wanted
to
talk
about
that
here.
M
It
is
a
regional
approach
to
ensure
consistency
throughout
our
our
entire
service
area,
where
we
work
so
starting
this
week,
we're
before
you
here
at
tne
on
thursday,
we'll
be
at
tpac
to
review
with
them
we're
also
awaiting
feedback
from
the
regional
water
quality
control
board
to
see
if
they
have
any
proposed
changes.
We
are
required
anytime.
We
change
our
ordinance
to
provide
them
with
45
days
notice.
M
That
period
ends
in
mid-april.
So
we
would
expect
to
hear
any
feedback
by
then,
at
which
point
we're
prepared
to
go
to
full
city
council
for
adoption
and
then
once
adopted,
we'll
work
with
each
of
our
tributary
agencies,
as
required
under
inter-jurisdictional
agreements,
with
our
regional
wastewater
facility
to
go
ahead
and
roll
those
code
updates
into
their
specific
municipal
or
operations
codes.
L
First
of
all,
I'd
like
to
thank
you
for
the
report.
It
was,
it
was
comprehensive
and
it
was
explicit-
and
I
appreciate
that
the
ambiguity
and
and
and
lack
of
explicit
language
within
the
conduction
of
city
business
is
is
something
that
I
have
a
hard
time
dealing
with,
but
you
were
the
exception.
So
I
want
to
thank
you
for
that.
Secondly,
historically
sassy
puedes
had
open
sewers
with
respect
to
sewer
systems.
L
Okay,
everybody
here
is
going
to
be
gone,
and
so
I
want
to
have
some
assurance
of
what
the
city's
responsibility
does,
so
that
the
city
itself
doesn't
defer
to
a
state
or
federal
government
to
regulate.
What
this
council
here
is
is
is
is
is
okay,
and
so
that's
the
kind
of
responsibility
that
I
would
like
to
see
from
this
council.
As
a
citizen
of
the
city,
that's
going
to
still
be
here
at
these
meetings
long
after
the
people
that
are
here
on
this
council
are
going
to
be
gone
and
off.
L
E
Hi,
thank
you
for
the
words
of
paul
soto.
I
think
I
try
to
apply
his
last
words
about
what
is
what
is
the
supervisor
advisor
supervisor
process
around
say
the
future
of
waste
water
management,
and
you
know,
there's
going
to
be
a
big
push
coming
up.
You
know
to
kind
of
like
create
a
new
environmental
system
of
of
waste
water,
storm
drainage
issues,
and
you
know
a
green,
a
green
system
and
I
think
deb
davis
is
a
part
of
a
lot
of
that
part
of
a
lot
of
that
work.
E
And
you
know
I
I
it
sounds
like
really
interesting
work,
but
it
there
there
may
be
a
gentrification
process
to
it
that
I
don't
know
sometimes
maybe
good.
Sometimes
it
may
not
be
good
who's
to
judge
you
know
what
is
the
judgment?
Will
paul
soto
be
there
to
to
monitor
how
this
progress
is
taking
place?
E
You
know
and
comment,
and
and
will
those
comments
be
taken
in
and
and
you
know
how,
how
will
adjustments
be
made
for
these
upcoming
green
wastewater
issues
in
local
streets
and
how
this
relates
to
say.
You
know:
building
east-west
bike
trails
in
the
future
of
san
jose,
I'd
like
to
really
thank
the
people
on
the
east
side,
who
are
working
really
hard
on
this
issue,
and
it's
the
auxiliary
bike,
trails
and
waste
water
management
issues
and
good,
open
public
policies
for
the
technology
around
these
issues.
H
B
Thanks,
I
just
have
one:
did
you
want
rajini?
Did
you
want
to
talk
about
the
google
requirements
they're,
not
producing
anything?
I
don't
know
that
they
fall
under
this
category
and
their
district
system,
where
they
will
have,
they
will
be
treating
their
waste
water
on
site
for
the
most
part
and
then
sending
sending
some
of
it
to
the
regional
wastewater
facility.
Do
you
want
to
talk
about
that?
A
little
bit,
I'm
not
too
familiar
with
the.
C
Details
of
the
google
development-
I
don't
know
if
nap
is
here
he
may
want
to
answer
yep.
I
can
do
that.
Thanks
committee,
chair
davis,
nab
fukuda
assistant
director,
environmental
services
department,
yes
from
what
we
know
today
of
the
google
project
and
what
they're
proposing
of
the
scalping
plant
is
what
we
again,
what
we're
seeing
today,
where
they
divert
some
of
the
wastewater
flows
from
that
development
and
recycle
that
water.
C
It
would
fall
under
currently
well
yeah
as
what
we
know
under
our
pre-treatment
program,
where
we
permit
that
scalping
facility,
because
they
would
be
discharging
some
material
back
to
us,
primarily
the
solids
they'll
be
taking
the
recycled
water
out
so
yeah,
that's
been,
that's
been
how
we've
been
looking
at
it
today.
Yeah.
B
Thank
you,
and
did
you
want
to
address
the
the
question
about
adobe?
I
mean
I.
I
know
that
these
these
businesses
have
to
to
basically
pay
to
connect
in
to
the
to
the
regional
wastewater
facility
and
to
send
their
wastewater.
But
do
you
want
to
talk
about
adobe's?
I
don't.
I
don't
know
that
they
produce
anything
either.
I
think
it's
just
an
office
building.
M
No
industrial
wastewater
that
they
do,
they
do
pump
groundwater.
They
have
groundwater
filtration
issues
at
some
of
their
large
towers
next
to
the
guadalupe,
so
they
do
pump
that
water
and
they've
approached
us
for
handling
handling
that
that
waste
stream,
but
no
it's
it's
not
a
true
industrial
process.
B
C
B
E
Hi,
thank
you
boy.
I'm
surprised,
there's
not
a
report
on
this.
I
mean
there's
issues
of
av
traffic
future
baby
and
I
guess
you
know
this
is
a
lane
where
experimental
av
issues
can
go
and
I'm
surprised,
there's
not
much
mention.
I
suppose,
there's
a
few
other
issues
to
talk
about
to
feature
the
stevens
creek
corridor,
but
to
remind
of
abe
questions
using
the
light
rail
as
an
av
source
is
interesting,
but
like
what
I've
always
tried
to
say
you
know
it's.
We
have
already
been
developing.
E
You
know
that's
been
work,
that's
really
developing
well
and
it's
like
pretty
much
ready
to
go
and
you
know
I
hope
that
doesn't
get
drowned
out
in
what
is
you
know,
truly
experimental
questions
about
the
future
of
ab,
and
you
know
I
I
I
just
hope
we
have
a
perspective
on
how
to
talk
about
av.
It
seems
okay
to
work
on
the
issue,
but
only
in
a
certain
perspective
that
it
is
definitely
a
a
second-tier
project.
E
E
So
much
is
my
feeling
about
it
and
and
really
really
concentrate
on
the
on
the
electric
buses
issue
and
how
we
get
transit
stations,
transit
charging
stations
going
for
it
and
all
those
sorts
of
questions
that
should
be
our
top
priority
to
consider
our
green
future.
At
this
time,
I
feel
how
about
a
comp
that
can
apply
to
the
stevens
creek
corridor,
I
suppose
there's
building
questions
that
will
also
be
taking
place.
G
Roland
thank
you,
madam
chair.
Well,
that
really
took
me
by
surprise
so
in
two
minutes,
the
the
only
really
viable
solution,
if
you
think
about
it,
it's
about
it's
all
the
way
and
moving
this
maintenance
facility
of
the
permanent
firm
and
then
take
quarry
on
the
other
side
of
highway
85
and
say
how
well
high
is
that
possible,
but
it's
so
expensive.
G
Is
that
it's
a
conversation
I
had
with
nuria
fernandez
one
to
one
actually,
six
years
ago
there
was
somebody
else
in
the
room
that
was
john
risto.
It
was
before
the
valley,
fair
extension,
and
all
this
massive
parking
lot
and
what
I
told
nuria
is
that
in
london
we
would
be
working
with
valley,
fair
and
asking
them.
Would
you
be
interested
in
building
a
bar
station
in
your
statement
and
if
and
when
you
do,
we
will
come
to
it?
That's
the
weight.
G
You
really
get
to
start
talking
about
people
when
they're
going
to
be
developing
on
the
stephens
creek
corridor
and
asking
them.
You
know
what
you're
going
to
build.
Would
you
be
interested
in
the
bus
station?
Yes
or
no,
and
then
I
can
assure
you
this
conversation
is
going
to
be
entirely
different,
but
at
the
end
of
the
day
we
cannot
carry
on
with
the
vta
and
what
happened
to
phase
one
with
synapses
scandal.
We
have
got
to
come
up
with
a
different
way
of
delivering
bart
all
the
way
to
highway
85
in
cupertino.
B
J
Yeah,
I
mean
that's,
that's
really
where
we,
we
don't
want
to
say
anything
until
all
the
parties
kind
of
come
together
in
a
clear
direction.
So
that's
why
we're
giving
a
high
level
report
as
we're
asked
to,
but
we
don't
feel
like
saying
much
more
is
worthwhile
until
until
we
understand
who
all
the
really
parties
are
to
moving
this
forward.
B
C
L
L
I
would
I
would
at
least
hope
to
if
I
ask
a
question
with
regard
to
definitions
for
clarifications
purposes,
to
understand
how
those
words
are
fitting
in
with
the
context
of
the
conversation,
I
would
appreciate
it
if,
if
the,
if
the
council
would
assist
me
in
that
regard,
because
it's
important
that
those
things
get
on
the
public
record,
it's
it's.
It's
vitally
important
that
these
these
definitions
are
not
subjective,
that
they
have
objective
terms
by
which
we
can
both
move
and
that
we
can
keep
the
checks
and
balances
in
place.
L
L
Five
have
still
not
been
given
a
fair
hearing
within
the
context
of
city
government
and
to
determine
the
responsibility,
the
responsibility,
the
moral,
the
ethical
and
the
legal
responsibility
that
this
city
has
through
the
profiteering
that
was
that
was
done
in
two
ways:
the
exploitation
of
sashi
puedes
and
its
poverty,
and
the
acceleration
and
increase
of
wealth
in
willow,
glen
and
rose
garden.
These
were
done
at
the
same
time.
L
That's
why
that's
what
we're
looking
at
right
now
we're
looking
at
the
generational
consequences
of
those
policies,
and
so
what
I'm
looking
for,
and
I'm
going
to
continue
looking
for
this,
and
I
hope
that
I
have
the
city
of
san
jose's
council's
support
in
this-
is
that
we
start
articulating
clearly
specifically
and
explicitly
what
really
actually
happened
and
what
were
the
generational
consequences
thereof.
Thank
you.
E
E
I
hope
people
who
plan
these
sort
of
social
planning
things
in
the
future,
realize
that
and
that's
a
lesson
we
all
have
to
learn
at
this
time.
We're
developing
really
good
things
and
they
shouldn't
mess
with
that.
Why
why
mess
with
that,
when
we're
doing
something
so
decent
and
important
to
quickly
add,
I
think
av
projects,
automatic
vehicle
projects
in
the
airport
area
seems
the
best
place
to
experiment,
not
along
stevens
creek,
although
you
know
do
what
you
want
and
how
all
of
this
relates
to?
E
How
much
time
do
I
have
left
here,
25
seconds,
you
know
how
all
this
relates
to
vision,
zero
things
and
four
and
five
g
that
I
tried
to
state
at
smart
cities
last
week.
You
know
smart,
four
and
five
g
is
the
same
thing:
we're
trying
to
develop
the
digital
divide,
helped
bridge
that
years
ago,
and
we're
at
coven
now
we're
trying
to
bring
around
what
is
our.
H
Zero
yeah,
you
know
this
city,
I
don't
know
talking
about
all
these
projects
they're
doing
what
they
need
to
do
is
fix
the
toilets
at
the
rose
garden.
I
was
just
there
right
now
and
death
if
you're
there
and
listening
that
bathroom
needs
to
be
repaired.
Broken
windows,
broken
ceiling,
broken
total
is
overflowing
right
now
and
it's
disgusting,
and
you
need
to
do
something
about
that.
H
I
mean
a
restaurant
couldn't
do
that
a
business
couldn't
do
that,
but
the
city
can.
I
think
that
that's
wrong.
I
would
I'd
like
to
hear
a
reply
from
dev
of
what
I've
said
and
you
know
I
sent
your
your
office.
A
picture
so
it's
you
know
it's
for
real,
it
just
happened,
and
it's
disgusting
and
you
you
should
be
ashamed
of
how
you
run
these
parks
it
should
it
shouldn't
be
like
that
people
should
be
able
to
go
and
use
a
bathroom
at
a
public
park,
especially
during
code
worlds.
Can
we
go?
H
The
city
hall
doesn't
look
like
that,
but
why
do
our
public
parks
look
like
that
and
don't
give
me
the
excuse
that
it's
covered?
There's
lack
of
funding,
there's
plenty
of
money
in

one
of
the
richest
cities
in

in
the
entire
nation,
and

that.
It's
just
disgraceful.
