I
mean
it's
really
easy
to
think
and
say,
but
to
actually
do
it
it
it
I
just
it
needs
to
be
reminded
of,
and
I'm
trying
my
best
to
do
that
thanks
for
your
patience
with
that,
I
hope
you
will
be
considering
that.
How
do
we
distance
ourselves
with
nuclear
with
community
energy
and
thank
you
in
all
the
efforts
of
the
community
energy
board?
You'll
be
re,
deciding
the
community
energy
board.
E
The
previous
incarnations,
I
felt
were
great
and
they
were
really
nice
people
and
it
was
a
good
learning
experience
which
is
the
most
important,
how
how
can
it
be
accessible
and
a
good
community
experience
to
bounce
ideas
off
of
and
just
be
able
to
think
and
all
that
good
stuff.
So
thank
you.
The
other
idea
was
about
sequa
air
monitoring
issues
that
I
believe
actually
that
actually
had
some
air
monitoring
stuff.
E
I'll,
just
speak
about
sequel,
really,
quick.
I
I
guess
I
should
have
about
30
seconds
left.
Thank
you
for
your
time
quickly.
I
I
hope
the
sequel
process
can
really
be
respected.
I
hope
it's
not
just
cut
out
of
and
and
laughed
at
and
tried
to
be,
skimped
from
there
can
be
really
good
stuff
with
it.
It's
been
really
frustrating
that's
happened
and
I
hope
you
can
work
on
being
open
with
it.
Thank
you.

Council,
member
and
committee
john
russo
director
transportation
we're
going
to
provide
an
update
on
the
vision,
zero
plan
just
want
to
introduce
the
our
panelists
today,
deputy
chief
randall,
I
think,
is
going
to
be
joining
us.
I
don't
see
her
yet
but
lieutenant
anaya
is
here:
deputy
director
of
dot,
lily,
limstown,
jesse
mintz,
roth,
our
vision,
zero
program
manager
and
voodoo
voodoo,
our
senior
transportation
engineer.
C
C
Give
you
an
update
on
the
six
priority
action
areas,
including
our
first
vision,
zero
quickbook
projects
and
the
formation
and
the
of
the
vision,
zero
task
force,
which
was
really
successful.
So
I'm
unless
there's
anything
you
want
to
ask
of
me,
I'm
going
to
turn
it
right
over
to
jesse
and
get
into
the
presentation.
F
F
Wow,
okay,
I
think
that's
right.
Hopefully,
I'm
just
going
to
go
with
it,
because
I'm
not
really
sure
what
that
is
well.
Thank
you.
I'm
jesse
manchroth,
I'm
the
vision,
zero
program
manager
and
I'm
going
to
give
this
update
today
joining
me
is
lieutenant
dave
anaya
from
the
police
department
and,
of
course,
we
just
had
our
introduction
from
director
of
dot
john
risto
so
beginning
with
traffic
fatalities.
F
F
Typically,
speeding
is
our
highest
cause
of
our
top
known
factor,
contributing
to
fatal
and
severe
injuries,
but
this
year
the
percentage
is
higher
at
46,
an
area
that
was
brought
to
us
by
the
police
department
that
we
want
to
mention
is
that
a
lot
of
them
involve
solo.
Male
drivers
and
very
unusual
are
bike
on
bike
fatalities.
F
None
have
occurred
in
san
jose
before
on
record,
and
there
are
two
of
them
this
year
on
the
guadalupe
river
trail,
both
in
underpasses
and,
in
this
case,
we're
already
working
with
the
parks
department
on
this
to
make
improvements
in
these
two
locations,
I'm
now
going
to
talk
about
the
six
priority
action
areas
in
the
vision,
zero
action
plan
and
give
updates
in
these
areas.
Since
the
plan
was
passed
on
february,
11
2020.
F
Now
this
this
p3
with
verizon,
is
it's
a
great
thing
that
we're
able
to
do,
but
really
in
this
demonstration
phase,
only
involves
three
intersections.
So
that's
where
we
are
with
that.
It's
been
a
great
opportunity
to
work
with
them.
We've
also
been
working
on
crash
data
visualization
with
our
internal
maps
online.
F
The
vision,
zero
task
force
had
its
first
meeting
on
september
25.
Just
recently.
The
task
force
is
made
up
of
17
members,
chair
council,
member
proles,
vice
chair,
councilmember,
foley,
12
decision
makers
from
city
and
county
departments,
as
well
as
three
local
advocates,
who
are
california
walks.
The
silicon
valley,
bicycle
coalition
and
aarp.
G
I'm
sorry
josie.
Can
you
hear
me?
Yes,
okay,
so
on
on
this
slide,
we
talk
about
our
increase
in
traffic
enforcement
and
what
we're
doing
in
the
priority
safety
corridors,
so
traffic
enforcement
or
teu
is,
is
trying
to
focus
80
to
90
of
their
enforcement
time
in
the
vision,
zero
corridors
and
had
about
just
under
8
000
citations
written
in
the
corridors.
G
So
another
thing
during
the
pandemic
that
we
did
was
we
transitioned
more
from
an
enforcement
based
outlook
if
you
will
to
issuing
more
warnings
and
conducting
more
education
with
the
public,
so
we
made
close
to
the
same
number
of
stops.
Maybe
a
little
bit
less
to
the
pandemic
to
keep
our
officers
safe,
as
well
as
the
citizens
safe.
G
But
at
the
same
time
we
issued
a
significant
number
of
warnings
during
that
time
frame
and
we
utilize
that
as
more
of
a
more
of
an
enforcement
and
I'm
sorry
less
of
an
enforcement
and
a
little
bit
more
of
an
educational
piece
for
motorists,
and
that
was
from
march
to
september,
bouncing
onto
our
staffing
plan
and
our
progress
there.
We
currently
have
13
enforcement
officers
assigned
to
the
unit,
which
is
up
one
from
where
we
were
last.
G
As
of
our
last
meeting,
we
just
added
an
additional
officer
here
in
october,
so
that
was
a
positive
note
and
then
we
have
one
lieutenant
one
sergeant
11
officers
and
three
special
events:
team
members
for
a
grand
total
of
16
in
the
unit.
So
that's
just
a
little
bit
of
an
update
on
our
staffing
here
in
teu.
F
We
are
moving
into
well
now
that
we
have
just
moved
back
the
clock
for
daylight
savings
time,
we're
moving
into
a
campaign
that
we
call
fight
the
spike,
but
is
basically
in
response
to
the
increase
in
fatalities.
We
tend
to
see
at
this
time
of
year
due
to
more
darkness
and
less
visibility,
so
we
will
be
putting
out
these
changeable
message
signs
on
the
vision,
zero
corridors
over
the
next
few
months,
and
we
will
also
be
working
with
the
police
department
to
couple
it
with
more
enforcement.
At
that
same
time.
F
F
To
talk
a
little
bit
about
pivoting
outreach
strategies
during
the
pandemic,
we
worked
with
california
walks
as
our
consultant
on
a
grant
that
ended
at
the
end
of
september
to
do
outreach.
That
was
to
older
adults,
although
I
think
anyone
who
works
in
outreach
right
now
would
know
that
that
is
challenging,
given
the
difficulty
of
not
being
able
to
do
in-person
outreach
as
we'd
intended.
F
So
I
think,
like
anyone
else,
doing
outreach
we
pivoted
several
times
with
with
zoom,
to
try
and
see
if
we
could
find
other
organizations
to
co-host
and
in
some
cases
we
did,
and
we
did
continue
going
on
with
that
work.
We
will
also
be
continuing
with
the
ots
funding
that
we
received
to
do
that
grant
next
year.
So
we've
just
started
the
new
round
of
that,
and
we
will
be
looking
for
a
consultant
to
do
outreach
again,
except
in
the
coming
year.
F
So
we'll
be
working
with
those
populations
through
that
grant,
walk
and
roll,
which
is
funded
by
measure
b.
Education,
encouragement
works
with
k
to
12
age
children
and
has
also
been
pivoting.
In
this
context,
we
had
already
begun
last
summer
to
production
of
this
summer.
We
were
working
towards
our
first
round
of
bringing
of
having
teachers.
F
F
We
have
put
in
this
new
quick,
build
type
of
project
that
is
known
as
a
left
turn
calming,
or
a
hardened
center
line
in
crashes
that
involve
left
turning
vehicles.
That
would
conflict
with
pedestrians
who
are
crossing
on
the
green
in
the
crosswalk
that
conflicts
with
the
movement.
The
left
turn
movement,
this
hardens
underwine,
basically
putting
low
profile
and
vertical
delineators
on
the
wl
line,
slows
the
turn
and
makes
it
increases
the
visibility
of
the
pedestrian
who's
in
the
conflict
zone.
F
So
these
three
intersections
cost
forty
thousand
dollars
to
build,
which
is
is
also
a
good
price
for
something
at
three
intersections,
and
so
you
can
see
the
before
and
after
here
of
willow
and
south
almaden,
and
we
did
on-site
surveys
afterwards
to
see
to
hear
people's
feedback
and
it's
been
very,
very
positive
and
encouraging,
and
we
also
spoke
to
the
principal
of
the
washington
elementary
school
and
we
were
on
zooms
before
and
after
so
that's
been
a
very
good
experience.
So
far.
F
F
This
is
a
list
of
projects
that
will
be
funded
with
vision,
zero
funding
to
do
these
large
corridor
implementations,
the
first
of
which
is
center
road
and
just
the
others
on
the
list
are
fruitful
avenue
story,
road
in
jackson,
guadalupe
river
trail.
I
mentioned
the
two
underpasses
where
we're
doing
cycling,
improvements
and
an
intersection
project
at
silver,
creek,
road
and
daniel
valencia
drive,
and
also
on
this
image,
you
can
see
a
picture
of
a
sign
that
we're
using
that
we're
posting
on
corridors
that
we'll
be
seeing
work.
F
F
I
also
wanted
to
highlight
some
grants
that
we've
received
since
since
the
vision,
zero
action
plan
passed
and
so
two
grants
of
note
one
is
the
transportation
fund
for
clean
air
for
hillside
avenue
in
district
nine
and
the
other
one
is
the
new
type
of
active
transportation
program.
Funding
called
quick,
build
it's
the
first
year
that
they're
doing
a
quick
filled
pot,
and
this
is
a
very
competitive
grant
generally.
So
it's
exciting
that
we
received
this
grant
for
outside
edenville
elementary
and
sylvandale
middle
school,
and
this
one
was
developed
working
with
project
hope.
E
Hi
blair
beekman
here
I
hope
we
can
all
work
to
openly
acknowledge
exactly
how
much
surveillance
technology
in
vision,
zero,
neighborhood
safety
technology
is
now
being
placed
in
all
of
the
new
4g
and
5g
sites
within
local
community
neighborhoods.
This
is
a
process
being
helped
sponsored
by
the
federal
government
in
this
time
of
cobit
19..
E
E
This
is
my
feeling
on
the
matter.
I
will
look
to
good-minded
government
staff
who
try
to
note
and
try
to
discern
these
current
issues
when
speaking
in
public.
It
is
with
this.
I
hope
you
will
want
to
consider
how
open
honest,
straightforward
public
policy
ideas
can
very
much
help,
add
and
be
a
good
companion
to
the
future
of
the
vision,
zero
process
and
that
good
democratic
practices
and
open
public
policy
ideas
can
work
towards
the
ideas
of
peace,
community,
harmony
and
positive,
long-term
community
sustainability.
E
These
are
something
of
the
goals
of
what
vision,
zero,
neighborhood
safety
is
set
out
to
accomplish,
and,
of
course,
and
how
to
emulate
the
range
and
depth
of
choices
that
guadalajara,
mexico
and
vancouver.
Canada
have
created
with
some
of
their
own
original
ideas
of
vision.
Zero
thanks
for
your
time,.
H
Good
afternoon,
council
members,
my
name
is
nikita
sinha,
I'm
the
walk
san
jose
program
manager
with
california
walks.
I
want
to
say
thank
you
first
to
staff
for
their
hard
work
on
vision,
zero
and
for
the
presentation.
Today.
Last
december,
after
two
weeks
of
almost
daily
fatalities,
I
wrote
to
you
to
ask
that
you
put
measures
in
place
for
a
rapid
response
to
traffic
fatalities.
H
H
B
I
Thank
you.
My
name
is
john
cordes
and
I'm
the
santa
clara
county
advocate
for
silicon
valley,
bicycle
coalition,
we're
an
advocacy
organization
focused
on
promoting
bicycling
for
all
people
for
all
purposes.
I
want
to
thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
comment
today.
I
also
want
to
thank
you
for
allowing
us
to
be
part
of
the
vision,
zero
task
force.
We
really
appreciate
the
opportunity
to
be
engaged
in
developing
these
new
plans,
as
we
move
forward,
trying
to
figure
out
how
to
make
san
jose
a
safer
place
to
live.
I
I
want
to
second
the
comment
just
made
by
nikita
on
rapid
response
for
fatalities.
We
think
it's
important
to
the
community
to
demonstrate
that
you
care
about
the
people
being
killed
on
our
streets
by
doing
something
in
response
to
these
events,
a
rapid
response
team
to
would
be
great
we'd,
also
like
you
to
do
more
memorialization
of
people
that
are
being
hurt
and
killed.
You
know
we've
done
signs
that
we
like
the
city
to
hang
around
this
town,
where
people
have
been
killed
and
injured.
I
So
people
realize
where
the
dangerous
parts
of
the
city
are
another
issue
we've
been
brought
up.
Is
that
we
find
a
lot
of
the
san
jose
police
department
press
releases
to
be
problematic
in
the
way
that
they
word
them?
This
seems
to
be
a
lot
of
victim,
blaming
and
kind
of
implying
that
the
bicycles
are
pedestrian
is
at
fault
because
of
their
behavior
and
they're,
also
not
being
equally
worded
in
the
fact
that
they
say,
like
a
vehicle
hit,
a
pedestrian
instead
of
a
motorist,
hit
a
pedestrian.
I
I
We
also
want
to
highlight
again
that,
because
of
equity
reasons,
we
don't
think
that
traffic
enforcement
should
be
a
long-term
strategy
for
implementing
vision,
zero,
you're,
much
better
off
with
infrastructure
solutions
that
are
there.
Gonna
work,
24
7,
instead
of
relying
on
a
few
hours,
a
police
officer
could
possibly
be
available
to
try
and
force
traffic
regulations.
So
we'd
like
to
see
a
lot
more
focus
on
how
you're
going
to
design
safer
streets.
Thank
you.
G
G
You
know
where
we're
going
to
put
those
bodies,
and
ultimately
the
chief
makes
the
decision
on
that.
But
certainly
we
know
that
traffic
enforcement
is
one
of
the
most
important
things
in
the
city
and
it's
important
to
the
citizens
and
for
the
safety
of
the
motorists
and
our
traveling
public.
So
you
know
we're
doing
the
best
we
can
to
to
up
staff,
as
seen
by
by
the
commitment
from
chief
randall
just
making
an
additional
ad
recently
that
was
an
unanticipated
ad
in
october,
so
we're
doing
the
best
we
can.
G
I
will.
I
will
be
at
this
fist
with
chief
tindall,
to
discuss
some
of
these
things.
He
may
be
there.
I
may
be
there,
I'm
not
positive,
which
one
of
us
is
going
to
do
it,
but
likelihood
of
chief
kendall
being
there
is
great,
so
he
can
maybe
address
it
from
from
a
little
bit
more
of
a
global
approach
from
the
department
as
well
as
you
know,
where
priorities
are
and
what
not.
So,
yes,
we
will
have
an
update.
C
Okay,
and
then
you
didn't
mention
in
the
report
there
in
regards
to
our
current
fiscal
situation
that
we're
in
right
now
was
there.
It
looks
obviously
there's
no
impact.
It
looks
like
you
added
a
teu
officer,
but
is
there
any
indication
that
you
may
potentially
have
some
cuts,
or
is
that
not
been
the
case.
G
I
don't
foresee
any
cuts
to
teu
coming
at
least
that's
been
the
conversation
that
I've
had
with
chief
tindall.
Regarding
that,
I
know
that
we
have
a
downturn.
We
have.
We
have
a
significant
number
of
retirements
coming
up
and
they've
been
pretty
committed
to
leaving
us
where
we're
at
so
it
is
certainly
my
push
to
keep
the
numbers
up
where
they're
at
and
then
continue
to
grow
as
we
can,
as
we
see
fit.
F
There
hasn't
been
any
new
progress
on
that
just
yet.
I
think
that,
because
we
are
at
the
moment,
moving
towards
the
next
meeting,
which
is
themed
on
outreach,
that
we
haven't
made
too
much
data
progress
yet,
but
when
we
do
the
next
task
force
meeting,
which
will
be
themed
on
data,
I
hope
that
we,
you
know
that
my
hope
is
that
we
can
spend
more
time
on
that.
C
Okay,
thank
you
and,
and
obviously
let
me
know
how
I
can
assist
there,
certainly
and
and
through
the
task
force
and
my
role
as
chair.
Hopefully
we
can.
We
can
see
some
some
traction
on
that
and
then.
Lastly,
in
regards
to
the
quick
build
projects,
you
did
mention
the
ones
in
guadalupe
washington.
I
know
the
community
there's
been
really
anxious.
Are
there
further
projects
that
are
expected
in
that
neighborhood
as
well
along
kind
of
vine
almaden,
or
was
that
it
did
you
did
you
hit
those
ones?
C
C
Yeah,
council,
member
john
russo,
director
of
transportation
for
the
ones
that
you
saw
out
on
the
presentation-
that's
out
there,
that's
it
for
us
right
now
recall,
though,
that
we've
got
a
very
big
grant.
That's
coming
through
on
the
story
from
story
keys,
it's
going
to
be
in
the
graham
area
and
really
redo
a
lot
of
physically
redo
with
concrete
that
whole
area
through
there
all
the
way
over
to
first
street
and
beyond.
So
that's
a
little
bit
longer
because
it's
a
larger
project
but
the
quick
build.
That's
it!
B
G
Absolutely
so,
when
our
officers
make
a
vehicle
stop
and
specifically
in
traffic
enforcement,
but
also
in
the
patrol
division,
they
have
to
have
a
close
interaction
with
that
driver.
And
so
what
happens
is
they
are
sharing
not
only
typically
a
citation
book,
but
a
pen
if
they're,
just
using
a
traditional
citation
and
that's
made
out
of
paper
and
there's
that
close
contact
with
interaction
where
they're
handing
back
and
forth
a
driver's
license
and
registration
and
proof
of
insurance
and
all
those
things
that
go
along
with
issuing
a
citation.
G
We
can
make
a
contact
from
six
feet
away
from
maybe
a
passenger
window
or
somewhere,
where
we
can
get
to
a
position
where
we're
not
right
next
to
the
driver
or
making
direct
contact
with
him
or
her.
So
it
was
a
safety
issue
essentially
for
the
violator
and
for
the
officers
who
were
doing
their
work,
and
so
what
we've
done
lately
as
of
late
when
the
county
protocol
for
covet
transitioned
back
into
a
little
bit
more
contact
and
a
little
bit
more
opening.
G
If
you
will
throughout
the
county,
we
transitioned
back
into
a
little
bit
more
of
a
normality
in
issuing
citations,
but
again
we're
on
a
little
bit
slower
pace,
because
after
every
single
contact,
there's
a
sterilization
factor
of
all
the
equipment
and
all
those
things
so
yeah
we're
running
it
at
probably
a
half
speed.
I
guess
would
probably
be
the
best
way
to
put
it
with
giving
the
officers
more
time
to
make
sure
that
they're,
safe
and
safe
for
themselves
and
again
safe
for
the
traveling
public
here
in
the
city.
B
B
F
So
the
thing
that
I
would
say
about
fatalities
this
year
is
that-
and
this
is
happening
in
other
cities
too-
is
that
because
there's
less
volume
on
the
road
there's
less
congestion
on
the
road,
there's
higher
speeds
on
the
road,
and
so
that's
the
sort
of
cross
city
trend.
A
lot
of
cities
are
even
seeing
their
numbers
higher
than
usual,
and
so
that's
dispiriting
the
percentage
of
by
mode
I
can
get
for
you
in
a
moment.
I
need
to
go.
Look
it
up
on
another
presentation
on
my
screen.
A
F
A
G
G
Yes,
there's
less
people
out
there,
but
you
also
counteract
that
with
people
just
driving
faster
and
a
little
bit
more
unsafe
and
and
I'll
be
honest,
I
saw
it
just
with
myself
driving
into
work
in
a
in
my
personal
vehicle
and
people
going
by
you
on
on
highway
101
at
100
miles
an
hour
was
not
uncommon,
and
so
I
think
that's
what
a
lot
of
us
are
seeing
are
those
those
type
of
accidents
that
we
don't
typically
get
in
the
past.
We're
we're
actually
seeing
those
now.
B
Yeah,
thank
you,
that's
helpful,
and,
and
it
really
makes
the
case
for
as
as
one
of
the
speakers
the
public
speakers
mentioned.
It
really
makes
the
case
for
for
engineering
the
roads
differently
to
to
help
with
those
speeds,
regardless
of
what
the
volume
is.
So
that's
that's
helpful.
Thank
you
for
that.
A
H
D
Good
afternoon
and
thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
share
with
you
some
of
the
developments
that
we're
seeing
in
the
reshaping
of
our
storm
water
permit.
As
you
may
recall,
this
permit
is
incredibly
important
to
our
local
environment
and
to
our
community
to
ensure
that
our
waterways
remain
safe
and
viable
assets
for
our
community.
D
Today,
I'm
joined
by
jeff
sinclair
jeff
is
a
senior
environmental
program
manager,
leading
this
effort
for
the
department
and
for
supporting
the
other
departments
throughout
the
city
and
then
introducing
reginae
nair
reginee
is
a
new
deputy
director
in
esd
leading
our
watershed
division.
So
I
imagine
she'll
have
more
to
say
the
next
time
we're
at
the
committee
and
that,
with
that
I'll
turn
it
over
to
jeff.
B
J
J
J
Outdoor
activities
like
car,
washing
irrigation,
rain
water.
Those
go
into
a
separate
system
that
is
just
intended
for
storm
water
and
that
system
conveys
that
water
to
our
creeks
and
rivers,
which
then
bring
it
out
to
the
bay
san
jose
is
very
unique.
We
have
a
large
amount
of
creeks
and
rivers.
We
have
26
distinct
creeks.
J
So
there
are
regulations
in
place
as
a
result
of
this
degradation.
The
federal
clean
water
act
requires
that
states
operate
under
a
national
pollutant
discharge
elimination
system
which
california
administers
over
nine
different
regions.
San
jose
falls
in
the
san
francisco
bay
regional
permit,
and
this
permit
is
a
city-wide
permit.
That
is
basically
delegated
to
different
departments.
The
ownerships
of
our
operations
are
delegated
to
those
different
departments,
because
this
permit
requires
that
the
city
implement
policies
and
procedures
that
reduce
pollution
in
stormwater
runoff
before
we're
allowed
to
discharge
into
that
creek.
J
So
this,
as
I
mentioned,
impacts
many
different
city
departments
and
operations.
It's
a
five-year
permit
term.
That's
coming
to
an
end.
The
current
term
is
coming
to
an
end
in
january,
but
the
water
board
is
going
to
administratively
extend
that
until
they
issue
their
next
permit
and
right
now,
they're
working
on
developing
that
and,
as
a
result,
we're
learning
that
there
are
going
to
be
many
different
changes
that
are
intended
to
further
enhance
our
work
towards
improving
our
creeks
and
preventing
further
degradation
on
those
creeks.
J
So
this
provision
basically
regulates
new
and
redevelopment
that
creates
or
replace
a
certain
amount
of
impervious
surface
under
the
current
permit.
If
a
new
project
creates
or
replace
ten
thousand
square
feet
or
more
of
impervious
surface,
that
property,
like
a
commercial
or
municipal
or
multi-family
dwelling,
must
implement
a
treatment
measure,
and
you
can
see
a
couple
examples
on
the
right,
there's
previous
pavers
in
the
parking
spots
and
then
also
our
chenoweth
avenue
green
street
project.
J
There's
a
bioretention
there,
so
these
are
implemented
at
ten
thousand
square
feet,
but
in
the
next
permits,
waterboard
staff
are
proposing
that
they
reduce
that
threshold
to
5
000
square
feet
in
order
to
capture
more
impervious
area.
More
properties
that
aren't
already
contributing
to
the
improvement
of
our
creeks
single-family
homes
are
currently
exempt
unless
they're
part
of
a
larger
development,
a
multi-family
home
development.
J
Waterboard
staff
are
essentially
going
to
simplify
this
and
say
all
projects
that
are
triggering
an
acre
would
be
required
to
include
greenstorm
our
infrastructure.
It's
not
clear
what
a
type
of
impact
this
will
have
just
yet
on
the
city's
efforts,
but
we
don't
think
it'll
be
that
much
based
on
feedback
from
department
transportation
of
public
works.
J
J
Now
that
plan
is
intended
to
describe
how
we
will
implement
greenstorm
our
infrastructure
moving
forward.
Citywide
will
waterboard
want
additional
assurance
that
this
will
happen,
so
they
are
proposing
to
include
targets
for
gsi
implementation,
so
actual
construction
of
these
devices
we're
expecting
that
we'll
be
able
to
meet
their
targets
because
we're
doing
where
public
works
is
working
on
a
large
project
at
the
river
oaks
pump
station
that
will
capture
close
to
300
acres
of.
J
J
J
These
pcbs
were
largely
used
in
sealants
for
buildings
and
other
activities,
and
so
we
have
certain
targets
that
we
have
to
meet.
We
can
do
through
so
through
different
control
measures,
structural
control
measures
like
large
trash
capture
devices
and
green
storm.
Our
infrastructure
can
capture
those
pcbs
and
treat
them
programmatic,
programmatic
activities
like
street
sweeping
and
inland
cleaning,
as
well
as
referring
source
properties
properties
where
we
know
pcbs
are
leaving
and
entering
the
storm
sewer
system,
referring
those
to
the
water
board
so
that
they
can
work
towards
debating
those
properties.
J
However,
there
are
areas
that
do
not
have
sources
identified
with
pcbs
and
water
board
are
proposing
that
we
also
address
those
in
the
next
permit
term.
In
addition
to
the
already
efforts
that
we
have
to
to
meet
to
reach
our
targets
whenever
we
have
dispersed
pollutants,
it
becomes
very
challenging
to
address
another
programmatic
activity.
Is
that
can
be
challenging?
Is
the
building
and
demolition
program,
whereas
right
now
we
just
track
and
report
those
properties
that
have
identified
pcbs
in
their
building
materials
in
the
next
permit
term.
J
Waterboard
staff
are
also
considering
two
new
sets
of
requirements
related
to
cost
reporting
and
water
quality
impacts
from
unhoused
individuals.
Cost
reporting
is
still
very
unclear.
What
level
of
detail
will
be
required
both
from
the
water
board,
from
what
they've
conveyed
to
us
and
then
permittees
as
well
are
unclear,
and
so
the
permittees
under
this
permit
are
proposing
that
more
time
be
given
in
the
next
permit
term
to
allow
us
to
develop
a
framework
that
would
outline
the
methodology
set
expectations
and
then
provide
a
region-wide,
consistent
guidance
for
collecting
this
data
and
reporting.
It.
J
Of
what
those
impacts
are
and
what
the
extent
of
the
issue
is
and
to
do
that,
they're
proposing
that
we
track
and
report
homeless
data,
but
then
also
share
with
them.
What
efforts
and
steps
we're
taking
to
address
the
issue,
particularly
through
our
interdepartmental
coordination,
but
also
externally,
with
our
collaboration
with
external
groups.
J
All
of
the
proposed
changes
that
I
presented
to
you
in
these
previous
slides
are
tentative
and
they
are
very
much
proposed,
so
nothing
has
been
finalized
yet
so
there
are
some
next
steps,
though,
to
work
towards
that
and
on
the
screen
is
a
tentative
permit.
Reassurance,
schedule
and
tentative
is
the
key
word
they've
been
shifting
the
schedule
quite
a
bit,
but
this
is
its
current
form.
J
Later
this
month,
waterboard
staff
expect
to
release
an
administrative
draft
of
the
stormwater
permit.
This
will
provide
the
city
with
an
opportunity
to
provide
written
comment
as
well
as
continue
to
meet
with
waterboard
staff
until
april
of
2021,
where
they're
expecting
to
release
the
tentative
order,
which
is
the
official
permit
document.
J
J
Traditionally,
this
permits
become
effective
in
january
preceding
the
adoption.
However,
they've
shifted
back
the
date
to
align
with
the
fiscal
year
and
due
to
delays.
They've
shifted
back
an
entire
year,
so
originally
they
planned
to
make
the
permit
effective
in
july
2021,
as
you
can
see
on
the
screen
now,
they
have
shifted
that
back
to
july
2022.
B
C
B
D
Council
member
I'll
start
and
then
jeff
can
can
add
a
bit
more
detail.
It
doesn't
mean
that
we
would
necessarily
stop
performing
those
activities,
but
it
means
that
the
water
board
won't
count
them
towards
permit
compliance,
so
that
is
a
pretty
significant
change
for
us
as
we
and
we
believe
those
activities
have
very
material
value
on
improving
the
quality
of
our
waterways.
Unfortunately,
at
this
point
the
state
wants
to
move
away
from
those.
B
B
D
So
the
permit
is,
the
city
is
a
permittee,
and
so
we
are
responsible
for
our
lands
and
the
water
district
is
responsible
for
their
lands
and
and
then
regionally,
we
all
sort
of
collaborate
together,
but
we
all
all
are
our
are
all
held
to
the
same
standard
jeff.
Could
you
maybe
talk
a
little
bit
about
the
nuance
between
property,
owned
by
valley,
water,
property,
owned
by
caltrans
property
owned
by
the
railroad
or
a
private
property
owner.
J
Yeah,
so
the
city
generally
addresses
our
creek
cleanups
and
direct
discharge
programming
on
our
properties.
However,
we
we
have
had
agreements
and
collaborative
collaboration
with
these
other
property
owners.
Caltrans
has
responsibilities
under
their
respective
permit
to
do
this
work
as
well
valley.
Water
also
has
responsibility,
but
not
as
much
from
the
trash
side,
because
those
trash
reduction
credits
are
largely
based
on
population
numbers,
so
they
establish
those
reductions
based
on
that.
D
No,
so
each
so
their
help
for
the
water,
district
properties,
they're
kind
of
accountable
for
the
activities
and
subsequent
discharges
from
their
properties,
and
then
the
city
is
responsible
for
the
same
on
our
own
properties.
Clearly,
we
try
and
collaborate
because
they're
generally
along
the
waterways
and
there's
some
efficiencies,
but
the
city
is
not
responsible
for
activities
that
occur
on
valley,
water,
property.
A
B
J
J
B
B
E
The
initial
part:
well,
that's
not
where
I
want
to
start
with
the
arrival
of
cobra
19
the
vision,
zero
side
of
neighborhood
safety
technology
and
surveillance
is
obviously
in
a
place
to
make
a
sharp
turn
into
a
corporate
government
surveillance
state.
We
all
fear
compared
to
what
vision
zero
is
intended
to
be.
I
cannot
emphasize
enough
the
importance
of
open,
transparent
public
policy,
ideas
and
practices
and
the
open
sharing
of
ideas
and
the
simple
love
of
good
community
democratic
practices.
At
this
time.
E
E
Thanks,
good
luck
on
this
issue.
Good
luck
in
how
we
work
as
a
community
during
the
time
of
election
and
we're
all
going
for
some
concepts
of
unity.
I
hope
I
don't
know
how
you
want
to
use
the
word
and
term,
but
I
hope
we
can
have
a
form
of
working
together
and
being
together
at
this
time
and
other
than
that
good
luck
to
everyone
and
see
you
at
tomorrow's
city
council.
Thanks
for
the
meeting
today,.
K
But
that
plan
also
explicitly
states
that
adaptation
strategies
are
topics
for
future
consideration
and
unfortunately,
we've
run
out
of
time
to
pump
the
issue
of
climate
adaptation
to
some
future
date.
Climate
impacts
are
real,
they're,
significant
and
they're.
Already
here,
we've
seen
the
devastation
of
more
frequent
and
intense
wildfires
droughts,
intense
urban
heat
in
cities
and
compromised
air
quality,
and
we
know
that
these
trends
will
continue
and
they're
going
to
be
compounded
by
sea
level
rise
in
inland
flooding.
K
San
jose
needs
to
invest
in
adaptation
strategies
now
and
nature-based.
Solutions
like
urban
greening,
including
green
streets
and
urban
tree
canopy,
are
essential
because
of
the
multiple
climate
adaptation
benefits
that
they
provide,
along
with
the
enhancements
that
they
make
to
water
quality
and
the
way
that
they
complement
the
work
that
the
city
is
undertaking
to
make
streets
safer
for
pedestrians
and
bicyclists.
K
Now
more
than
ever,
it's
apparent
that
people
need
safe,
comfortable
outdoor
spaces
in
their
neighborhoods
san
jose's.
Current
green
infrastructure
plan
focuses
almost
entirely
on
underground
regional
storm
water
projects
that,
while
important
to
meet
water
quality
obligations,
provide
few
additional
climate
adaptation
benefits.
K
We
also
recognize
that
the
covid
pandemic
has
created
new
challenges
for
the
city
budget
and
staff,
but
it
also
highlights
the
need
for
government
to
plan
for
looming
crises
in
advance.
I'd
like
to
thank
council
members,
davis
and
perales
for
working
with
the
mayor's
office
and
us
last
year
to
direct
staff
to
undertake
an
initial
outreach
and
planning
process
for
urban
greening.
K
I
do
want
to
also
point
out
that
a
report
back
from
those
efforts,
specifically
by
the
environmental
services
staff,
was
due
to
this
committee
in
june,
but
we
have
yet
to
see
that
so
I'd
like
to
put
this
issue
back
on
your
radar
and
ask
the
committee
to
prioritize
this
and
work
to
make
san
jose
a
leader
in
climate
adaptation
by
committing
to
a
coordinated
approach
to
expand
urban
greening
city-wide.
Thank
you.
A
Yes,
councilmember,
as
you
recall,
all
of
our
committee
meetings
in
the
spring
were
cancelled
and
we
issued
a
an
information
report
on
that.
It's
probably
something
that
we
would
put
on
the
spring
work
plan
for
the
upcoming
period
of
time,
the
the
february
to
june
time
frame.
That's
what
I'd
anticipate!
