A
A
B
Foreign
get
started:
welcome,
councilmember,
Ortiz
to
your
first
meeting
of
Transportation
environment
committee.
We'll
call
this
meeting
to
order.
I
know
that
councilmember
Davis
will
be
absent
today.
So
we
have
our
Quorum

the
three
of
us
are

I.
Don't
think

need
to
call
roll

we'll
move
on
to
item
one
on
the
agenda.
B
We
don't
have
any
work
plan
review
or
consent
calendar.
So
we'll
start
with
reports
to
committee
item
D1
our
integrated
management,
Waste,
Management
program,
recycle
right,
outreach
program,
I
assume
start
with
you,
Carrie.
C
Thank
you
good
afternoon,
Carrie
ramenow,
director
of
Environmental
Services
I'm,
joined
by
Valerie
Osmond,
our
Decker
deputy
director
of
Integrated
Waste
Management
and
Jenny
Loft.
Our
public
information
manager
today
is
our
second
annual
update
of
our
recycle
right
programs
and
with
that
I'll
turn
it
over
to
Valerie
all.
D
A
D
All
right
so
Integrated
Waste
Management
provides
solid
waste
collection,
processing
and
Disposal
Services
to
Sunny,
so
San
Jose's
residents
and
businesses.
We've
been
a
leader
in
recycling
since
1985
and
as
described
in
our
memo
staff,
oversee
various
contracts
and
agreements
for
the
services
provided
by
various
haulers
and
Facilities
located
within
San
Jose.
We
manage
an
annual
program
budget
of
about
300
million
dollars
and
our
programs
surpass
recycling
mandates.
D
We're
going
to
take
a
closer
look
at
our
residential
garbage
and
recycling
services.
The
residential
garbage
and
recycling
program
is
one
of
the
largest
privatized,
residential
Solid
Waste
programs
in
the
country,
and
it
serves
all
of
our
San
Jose
households.
Our
program
is
a
leader
in
the
industry
by
diverting
waste
from
landfills
having
positive
impact
on
greenhouse
gases
and
climate.
D
It
provides
Innovative
Innovative
programs
and
Pilots
placing
us
ahead
of
the
curve
on
many
fronts.
This
is
achievable
through
our
strong
Partnerships
with
our
service
providers.
San
Jose
has
four
service
providers
that
serve
our
residents.
California
Waste
Solutions
collects
and
processes
single-family
recycling
in
districts,
A
and
C,
which
is
about
three
quarters
of
the
city.
Garden
City
Sanitation
collects
single-family
garbage
in
districts,
A
and
C,
and
green
team
collects
single-family
garbage
and
recycling
in
District,
B
and
multi-family
dwellings.
D
Citywide,
along
with
City
facilities,
garbage
and
recycling
green
waste
collects
all
of
our
yard
trimming,
city-wide
and
processes.
Single-Family,
multi-family
and
City
facilities.
Garbage
green
waste
also
collects
and
processes.
Citywide
public
litter
can
waste
unique
to
San
Jose.
We
have
a
year-round
unlimited
loose
in
the
street
yard
trimmings
collection.
D
D
D
D
D
So
you
can
see
that
we're
tracking
about
the
same
as
we
did
last
fiscal
year
in
2020
and
2021,
where
we
show
that
much
of
the
waste,
the
garbage
that
has
been
diverted
and
recycling
has
been
diverted
is
in
that
the
cross
has
cross
hatch
sections
on
the
bottom,
and
you
can
see
that
our
diversion
rates
are
very
high
in
both
garbage
and
recycling
yard
trimmings
is
extremely
high.
The
yard
trimmings
loosen
the
street
process
collects
very
clean,
very
green
material,
which
contains
very
little
material
that
needs
to
be
diverted
to
landfill.
E
Valerie
I'm
here
to
talk
about
the
recycling
right
campaign.
The
goal
of
the
recycle
right
campaign
is
to
decrease
dirty
materials
in
recycling
containers
in
residential
households.
We
bring
awareness
to
this
challenge
and
help
change
behavior
and
to
recycle
right.
Our
entire
recycle
right
campaign
directs
residents
to
San
joserecycles.org
a
data-driven
website
with
over
400
items.
We
now
have
garnered
over
930
000
web
users.
E
This
is
as
of
last
Friday
and
almost
2.4
million
web
page
views
since
the
launch
of
the
recycle
right
campaign
in
July
2019
when
the
city
took
and
took
on
recycling
Outreach
from
our
Solid
Waste
contractors.
What
you
see
here
are
examples
of
our
recycle
right
campaign.
These
are
ads
in
English,
Spanish,
Vietnamese
and
also
a
postcard
that
we
sent
to
residents
these
materials
contain
empty
and
scrape
and
San
Jose
recycles
write
messages.
Two
of
our
key
messages.
E
E
We
have
heard
from
residents
that
the
automated
translation
apps
are
not
as
effective
as
when
the
text
is
translated
by
a
person
I'm
proud
to
say
that
the
recycle
right
team
has
spearheaded
the
translation
of
over
400
recycling
guide
items
which
can
be
easily
searched
by
typing
in
an
item.
The
new
search
feature
is
now
in
Spanish
on
es.s
San
joserecycles.org,
which
was
launched
last
September
and
in
Vietnamese
on
Viet
San
Jose
recycles.org,
which
we
just
unveiled
a
few
weeks
ago
to
coincide
with
the
Lunar
New
Year.
E
We
have
conducted
targeted
promotions
for
these
new
features
in
Spanish
and
Vietnamese
media
outlets
and
other
marketing
tactics.
Next
slide,
please
in
2022,
as
we
all
come
back
to
normal
business
practices,
we
began
to
engage
with
our
diverse
Community,
with
some
in-person
recycling
write
presentations
as
well
as
virtual
ones.
Last
calendar
year,
together
with
our
partners,
ESG
staff
delivered
over
65
presentations.
E
We
focused
some
Outreach
in
areas
of
the
city
with
the
highest
dirty
material
recycling
rates.
We
made
presentations
to
Neighborhood
associations
and
schools.
We
also
partnered
with
prns
in
the
library
system
and
presented
at
senior
nutrition
programs
and
libraries.
Moreover,
we
worked
with
project
hope
to
share
information
with
underserved
communities.
E
E
D
Thanks
Jenny,
thank
you,
Jenny,
okay,
so
we're
going
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
the
commercial
program,
commercial,
solid
waste.
So
our
commercial
program,
Services
about
7
600,
accounts
throughout
San
Jose.
It
has
a
very
unique,
wet
and
dry
program,
so
wet
material
is
a
considered
Organics
and
is
sorted
and
processed
at
an
anaerobic
digestion,
facility,
zero
waste
energy
development
and
it
creates
electricity
and
compost.
The
dry
material
is
kind
of
everything
else,
so
mixed
recyclables,
non-recyclables
garbage
and
that
material
is
sorted
at
a
sorting
facility.
D
D
Last
fiscal
year.
The
enforcement
team
has
conducted
664
inspections
leading
with
education
and
Outreach,
so
this
team
of
five
provides
Outreach
to
businesses,
residents
and
educates
about
City
Solid
Waste
programs
such
as
junk
pickup
waste
oil,
pickup
issues,
inspection
reports,
warning
notices
and
administrative
citations.
D
The
team
inspects
addresses
for
different
types
of
concerns,
such
as
dangerous
accumulation
of
solid
waste
and
authorized
hauling,
no
Solid,
Waste,
Service
improper
container
set
out
in
storage
and
self-halling
donation,
so
on
and
so
forth.
We
also
have
a
public
litter
can
program.
We
have
about
1
330
public
litter
cans
city-wide.
These
are
primarily
in
our
business
district
area
and
does
not
include
locations
such
as
Valley
Transportation
stops
Parks
community
centers.
D
So
taking
a
look
at
our
program
as
a
whole,
Integrated
Waste
Management
reports
that
we
have
a
62
percent
diversion
that
is
material
that
does
not
go
to
the
landfill.
This
is
Integrated
Waste,
Management
measures,
commercial,
residential
and
City
facilities
as
part
of
our
program,
because
these
are
waste
streams
that
we
have
control
over.
D
It's
a
little
bit
lower
than
prior
years,
which
we
believe
covet
has
contributed
to
that
and
City
staff
continue
to
work
with
service
providers
on
Outreach
to
businesses
and
residents
to
right-size
their
containers.
D
B
B
Let's
find
it
I
want
to
remind
members
of
the
public
to
address
specific
agenda
items
that
are
that
are
being
discussed
and
address
the
full
body
don't
engage
in
a
specific
conversation
with
any
individual
council
members
or
staff
members
and
we're
all
all
of
us
are
expected
to
refrain
from
abusive
language.
Failure
to
comply
with
the
code
of
conduct
will
which
will
disturb,
disrupt
or
impede
the
orderly
conduct
of
this
meeting
will
result
in
removal
from
the
meeting
all
right.
Thank
you.
Let's
go
to
public.
F
Good
afternoon
Council
Paul
Soto
from
the
Horseshoe
I
want
to
talk
about
SB,
1383
and
the
expansion
of
that
program.
Food
stamps
is
going
to
be
start
start
to
be
cut
off.
Okay,
all
these
covid
policies
and
coveted
allocations.
That's
going
to
be
rolled
back,
because
what
that's
going
to
do
is
it's
going
to
create
a
lot
of
food
deficiencies.
More
people
are
going
to
be
hungry,
more
people
are
going
to
be
starving
in
my
city.
F
Sorry
I
got
a
problem
with
that
and
so
I
think
I'm
bringing
it
to
the
correct
body
to
address
that
now.
20
percent
is
low.
I,
don't
want
the
bare
minimum
I
don't
want
to
just
follow
the
law.
I
want
to
do
what
is
ethically
and
morally
correct,
and
the
city
has
the
power
to
do
that.
So
I
would
like
that
up
to
30
percent
and
I
would
like
the
amounts
of
people
that
can
participate
in
that
program
to
expand
you.
The
city
has
plenty
of
vehicles.
The
city's
got
plenty
of
gas.
F
The
city's
got
the
ability
to
contract,
with
more
people,
to
start
delivering
food
to
seniors,
to
start
delivering
food
to
schools.
To
start
delivering
food
to
community
centers
and
I
want
that
expanded
I
think
we
have
that
coming
because
you,
this
city,
is
going
to
be
tasked
with
a
lot
of
policy
decisions
within
the
next
coming
year.
Why?
Because
all
of
these
covid
allocations
that
were
one-time
Grant
allocations
is
going
to
start
surfacing
within
the
next
two
years.
Once
that
happens,
you
guys
are
not
going
to
be
sitting
there
twiddling
your
thumbs.
F
Oh,
how
did
this
happen?
How
did
this
happen?
Wow
gee?
We
didn't
expect
this
nah
you're
being
put
on
notice,
because
I
was
there
before
covid
been
there
during
the
whole
time
during
covet
and
and
and
I'm
here
now
so
I
have
a
very
clear
understanding
of
the
history
of
how
these
programs
are
financed.
So
I
want
that
particular
percentage
increased
to
30
and
I
want
to
know
how
you.
G
H
Beekman
hi
thanks
a
lot
for
your
meeting
today.
It
seems
a
meeting
based
on
ideas
of
climate
change
and
how
we're
going
to
begin
to
better
address
our
climate
change
issues.
Thank
you.
This
item
and
the
next
item
both
speak
to
those
sort
of
good
subject
matter.
I
hope
it
is
a
subject
matter
that
we
are
not
afraid
to
better
talk
about
into
the
new
Administration.
H
We
have
some
serious
sea
level
rise
issues
that
really
need
to
be
addressed,
that
we
have
to
learn
how
to
be
a
bit
more
open
about.
It
feel
I
hope
and
that
I
hope
that
you'll
make
those
steps
in
the
good
efforts
that
I
think
we
all
want
to
talk
about
climate
change
issues
and
we
want
it
to
be
a
free,
open
subject,
let's
not
be
afraid
to
offer
constructive
ideas
for
its
subject
matter.
H
Paul
Soto
has
brought
up
some
really
nice
interesting
ideas
that
I
think
the
Civic
Innovation
team
of
Dolan
Beckel
in
the
past
few
years
has
been
building
up
a
quite
a
resume
on
how
to
address
our
food
resource
issues
in
in
San
Jose.
In
this
era
of
covid
and
I
guess
Zuma
Maciel
of
racial
Equity,
she
may
also
be
a
good
person
to
address
for
for
these
issues
of
food.
H
That
Paul
has
very
nicely
mentioned,
and
I
thought
I
would
just
add
those
names
as
people
to
really
address
about
such
issues.
Thank
you.
B
All
right,
thank
you.
Councilmember
Ortiz,.
I
Thank
you,
chairman
I,
want
to
thank
the
staff
so
much
for
your
report.
I
do
have
a
few
questions.
The
memo
mentions:
esd's
environmental
inspectors,
utilize
multilingual
Outreach
to
encourage
proper
Solid
Waste
Management
at
residential
and
commercial
facilities,
and
to
inform
residents
about
the
city
provided.
I
C
Well,
thank
you.
Our
team
takes
a
very
databased
approach
in
terms
of
how
we
look
at
performance,
city-wide
and
then
Jenny
leads
a
team
that
targets
a
particular
Outreach
so
Jenny.
If
you
could
speak
to
kind
of
how
we
look
at
the
contamination
levels
and
how
we
select
Which
languages
are
predominant
in
which
areas.
E
Thank
you
well
I
work
with
a
team.
That's
been
incredibly
sensitive
to
our
diverse
Community.
We
have
a
staff
who
speak
Spanish
and
Vietnamese
on
our
team,
so
we
also
not
only
do
they
provide
language
skills
when
we're
out
in
the
community
and
we
do
tabling
and
we
do
presentations
in
in
various
neighborhoods.
E
We
also
utilize
their
skills
to
make
sure
that
the
messages
are
culturally
relevant.
So
that's
really
important
to
make
sure
that
the
community
understands
and
res
receives
the
information
that
that
resonates
with
them.
We
send
postcards
to
some
of
the
or
to
the
residents
on
a
regular
basis,
because
we
understand
completely
that
not
everybody's
on
digital
right
so
want
to
make
sure
there's
always
the
hard
copy
aspect
to
our
Outreach.
So
we
do
flyers
and
postcards.
We
actually
do
quarterly
postcards
sent
to
households
just
to
make
sure
that
everybody
everybody
gets
those
messages.
E
We
also
Place
ads
hard
copy
ads
on
buses
so
that
you
know
for
those
who
don't
have
a
phone
or
a
computer.
They
just
don't
get
that
information
that
way.
So
that
type
of
thing
we
also
work
with
our
inspectors
of
the
lead.
Behinds,
as
you
mentioned
about
you,
know
various
materials
and
programs
that
are
that
folks,
don't
get
it
in
any
other
way,
so
that
those
are
the
leave
behinds
our
junk
pickup
program.
E
We
actually
have
like
a
3-1-1
link
on
the
promotional
materials
on
the
junk
pickup
program,
and
so
that's
another
way
to
access
3-1-1.
E
We
are
also
using
the
data
that
Kerry
mentioned
with,
like
we
lay
out
maybe
areas
of
the
higher
contaminated
routes
and
then
we'll
specifically
Target
those
areas
with
digital
ads
in
various
languages.
And
then
you
know,
as
well
as
enhanced
postcard
distributions
and
and
such.
I
Great
thank
you.
Thank
you
so
much
that
definitely
sounds
robust.
After
reviewing
the
city
services
annual
audit
report,
just
looking
over
some
of
the
residents
responses,
we
saw
that
the
survey
reflected.
Obviously
it
did
a
dissatification
dissatisfaction
that
the
city
isn't
addressing
their
concerns
of
illegal
dumping
properly,
with
consistent
increases
in
Residence
demands
to
make
sure
that
their
neighborhoods
are
cleaner.
Are
the
companies
that
we
are
Contracting
with
being
proactive
about
a
potential
solution
to
address.
I
You
know
these
junk
pickups
in
regards
to
hot
spots,
Hot
Spot
areas
or
districts
with
a
large
amount
of
illegal
dumping.
C
So
the
residential
recycling
and
garbage
program
does
not
include
illegal
dumping.
Illegal
dumping
is
led
by
prns.
Oh.
I
I
see
okay,
thank
you
and
then,
and
then.
Finally,
in
regards
to
commercial
pickup,
our
property
owners
required
because
I'm
looking
at
the
amount
of
diversion
that
we're
seeing
our
property
owners
required
by
City
municipal
code
to
provide
garbage
spaces,
whether
it's
garbage
or
recycling,
for
their
tenants
to
throw
away
their
trash.
C
So
so
by
the
multi-family
dwellings
are
required
to
have
adequate
service
and
that's
provided
by
the
residential
service
program
in
the
commercial
sector.
C
The
businesses
are
required
to
contract
with
Republic
Services
for
for
their
garbage
and
recycling
service
and
Republic
works
with
the
individual
subscribing
company
to
ensure
that
they
have
adequate
service
values
or
anything.
You'd.
Add
to
that.
I
C
Yeah,
so
to
maybe
more
directly
answer
your
question
for
residential
code
requires
you
to
have
service
for
commercial
you're,
not
required.
You
are
allowed
to
self-hall,
but
but
you
also
have
some
flexibility
on
the
type
and
level
of
service
that
you
provide
in
about
2012.
We
franchise
the
commercial
sector
and
and
that
sort
of
flattened
out
the
pricing
prior
to
franchising
the
commercial
sector.
Some
of
the
smaller
companies
were
paying
much
higher
rates
per
per
cubic
yard
versus
some
of
the
bigger
companies
were
better
negotiators.
I
The
reason
why
I
mentioned
that
is
because,
in
some
of
the
business
corridors,
I've
noticed
that
some
companies
may
have
these
trash
receptacles,
the
big
dumpsters,
some
small
businesses
and
others
don't,
and
then
we
get
some
small
businesses
putting
in
their
stuff
into
their
trash.
And
then
you
know
when
they
run
out
of
space
for
the
trash
can
then
they
may
put
stuff
in
the
recycling.
I'm
sure
that
results
in
diversion
so
I
don't
know.
I
C
We
do
we
do
get
a
fair
number
of
complaints
from
Property,
Owners
or
businesses
that
someone
else
is
using
their
garbage
garbage
cans
and
and
our
typical
advices.
They
need
to
secure
it
and
and
most
of
the
time
we
we
can
provide
help
them
with
some
guidance
on
Solutions,
but
we
have
not
explored
requiring
service.
That's
certainly
something
we
can
add
to
our
our
list
of
things
to
vet.
J
D
J
Thank
you
then,
can
I
ask
you
about
the
the
diversion
rate?
Can
you
show
me
the
slide
actually
that
you
had
of
the
diversion
rate
of
the
City
Residential
and
then
commercial.
J
And
just
so
I
understand
what
the
diversion
statistic
means.
That
means
the
percent
of
trash
that
is
not
going
to
landfill.
Is
that
correct?
Yes,.
C
It's
the
percent
of
solid
waste
that
is
reused
recycled,
in
other
words,
not
whatever
fraction
is,
does
not
make
it
to
the
landfill.
J
C
You
know
it's
it's
it's
often
hard
to
tell
most
many
cities,
don't
measure
their
commercial
sector,
so
most
of
our
partner
cities
don't
have
a
franchise
system,
so
they
would
are
typically
just
measuring
residential,
some
of
them
only
measure
single
family
residential,
not
multi-family
as
well.
So
we
obviously
I
I
can't
do
math
that
fast,
but
residential
and
and
City
and
and
I'm
sorry
A
lot
of
them
don't
include
City
facilities.
Okay,.
E
C
J
The
same
so
70
I
know
we
have
some
areas
that
have
more
dirty,
recycle
bins
and
than
others
have
we
ever
considered
or
or
will
you
be
bringing
back
to
us
at
some
point,
a
recommendation
to
possibly
looking
at
increasing
the
size
of
our
garbage
cans
so
that
the
people
the
residents
are
putting
their
putting
their
trash
in
the
in
the
garbage
and
not
in
recycling
I
think
what
happens
is
they
run
out
of
room,
and
so
they
stick
it
in
the
recycling
bin
knowing
they're
not
supposed
to,
but
they
do
it
because
that's
where
they
can
how
they
can
get
rid
of
their
trash.
C
And
we're
exploring
a
lot
of
options
to
improve,
to
improve
our
overall
diversion
rate,
but
also
to
to
reduce
our
contamination.
We
are
coming
back,
I
think
in
April
to
talk
more
about
the
the
contamination
levels,
but
one
of
the
things
is
covid
really
changed.
Behavior
and
you
know
I
think
the
first
year
we
got
our
results.
We
we
saw
just
a
lot
more
material
at
the
curb
we
reported
on
that
last
year.
We
thought
that
was
an
anomaly.
C
It
looks
like
it's
something,
that's
sticking,
and
so
so
what
we're
we're
trying
to
not
do
anything
need
your
because
of
one
or
two
years.
We
want
to
really
make
sure
it's
a
it's,
a
trend,
that's
going
to
stay
and
and
then
we're
formulating
our
options,
as
you
suggest
should,
should
we
increase
the
garbage
yeah
can
size,
but
that
also
has
an
impact
on
rates
sure,
and
so
we
kind
of
want
to
make
sure
we
know
it's
going
to
help
in
the
long
term.
C
We
have
done
a
pilot
on
larger
garbage
carts
and
do
have
some
some
feedback
that
we'll
bring
with
that.
And
but
we
really
want
to
make
sure
that
what
we're
seeing
in
the
the
last
two
years
is
is
going
to
remain
going
in
that
direction.
And
because,
as
Valerie
mentioned,
it's
already
a
300
million
dollar
a
year
program.
We
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
moving
in
a
direction
that
adds
value
and
that,
and
that,
frankly,
is
worth
the
money.
J
C
Yet
and
again
we
need
to
and
we
need
to
better
understand,
what's
happening
and
we
need
to
work
with
our
haulers
more
closely
and
then
we
really
need
to
manage
the
rate
component
and
understand
how
that
will
roll
out.
As
as
Valerie
mentioned
on
this
slide,
SB
1383
is
also
coming
into
play
and
you
know
we
are
ahead
of
it.
We're
far
ahead
of
most
cities,
because
we
already
do
that
back
end
sorting.
D
J
Thank
you,
I
I,
appreciate
that
and
and
I
it's
so
important
that
we
do
recycle
right
and
that
we
have
the
right
information.
I,
know
you're
out
there,
trying
to
educate
people
as
much
as
possible
and
coming
to
Neighborhood
associations
and
showing
people
how
to
recycle
is
really
really
helpful.
So,
anytime,
you
have
any
materials
that
you
want
us
to
distribute
on
our
newsletters.
You
know
we're
always
looking
for
content
and
I
mentioned
this
to
you
before,
and
you
always
send
it
to
it.
J
So
just
reminding
you
that
the
content's
always
helpful
and
we'll
be
happy
to
to
send
it
Forward
on
to
our
in
our
newsletters
and
our
constituents.
Well,.
J
Please
that's
always
helpful
with
that
I'll
move
acceptance
of
the
report.
B
Second,
thank
you
and
she
can
also
recycle
some
of
the
jokes
all
right,
so
Kip.
L
Yes,
Kip
Harkness,
Deputy
city
manager,
I,
actually
just
want
to
go
back,
something
that
council,
member
or
t
should
ask
because
I
think
the
way
I
heard
it
was.
What
is
the
role
that
the
free
junk
pickup
program
plays
in
preventing
illegal
dumping,
and
how
are
we
thinking
about
focusing
on
areas
where
we
might
have
higher
instances
of
illegal
dumping
so
that
we
don't
have
to
deal
it
on
the
back
end
so
be
curious.
If
you
could
address
the
role
of
the
program
in
that
and
how
we
approach
it.
C
So
prop
218
requires
equal
service
to
all
Parcels.
So
so,
as
residents
across
the
city
are
making
appointments
and
then
we're
collecting
them
and
we're
not
we're
not
in
a
position
to
do
sweeps
of
neighborhoods
using
using
rate
payer
funds,
and
we
do.
We
do
look
to
see
that
the
program
is
being
utilized
across
the
city
in
a
reasonably
even
fashion.
So
we
make
sure
that
everyone
has
a
equal
opportunity
to
take
advantage
of
it.
C
But
but
we
don't
use
the
free
junk
pickup
as
a
way
to
deal
with
illegal
dumping.
I
I'm
gonna
have
a
piggyback
on
that
chairman.
Thank
you.
So
much,
no
I
appreciate
that
answer
and
I
hear
equal
treatment
throughout
the
city,
but
I
think
we
can
all
agree
at
least
in
District
Five.
I
It's
not
working,
there's
dumping
all
throughout
our
city,
so
I
wanted
to
ask
if
staff
would
be
willing
to
look
into
potentially
hosting
like
pickup
sites,
instead
of
just
having
like
one-on-one
dump
pickups
but
having
a
pickup
site,
where
residents
can
convene
at
a
local
community
center
by
monthly,
to
bring
in
these
large
items
they
want
to
dispose
of
and
then
bringing
in
California
Waste
Solutions
or
the
green
team
to
come
pick
it
up.
Instead
of
doing
it
one
by
one
and
one-off
shoots.
Yep.
C
Prns
works
with
council
members
on
beautification
days
and,
and
those
would
be
the
opportunities
to
do
that,
but
that's
not
something
that
the
residential
recycling
program
can
can
take
on
Colleen.
Do
you
have
anything
to
add
to
that.
M
It's
it's
a
different
program
because
we're
cognizant
of
of
access
and
property
related
fees.
B
Okay,
thank
you
and
just
to
follow
up
on
that
first
before
I,
ask
some
other
questions
that
I
have
I
think
it's
I
think
it's
important
that
we
figure
out
how
to
help
people
understand
the
availability
of
this
service,
and
it
always
shocks
me
when
you
do
our
dumpster
days.
How
many
people
think
it's
easier
to
drag
something
out,
tie
it
to
the
roof
of
their
car
drive.
Wait
in
line
for
an
hour,
carry
the
thing
off
their
car.
B
Put
it
in
a
dumpster,
then
it
would
be
just
to
put
it
up
on
the
street
and
make
an
appointment
so
I've
actually
considered
in
our
office,
sending
out
a
mail
to
every
resident
of
the
district
saying
this
service
is
available
to
you.
Please
use
it!
It's
just
it
I,
don't
think
that
people
know
about
it
and
I'm,
not
sure
how
I
know
we
do
promote
it.
B
Some,
but
I'm
just
wondering
if
we
can
do
a
little
more
to
promote
that
service
itself,
because
people
just
don't
understand,
realize
that
it'd
be
much
easier
to
put
your
mattress
on
the
side
of
the
road
than
to
bring
it
anywhere.
Even
if
you
had
a
centralized
Dump
location
like
we
do
when
we
have
dumpster
days,
yeah.
D
Sure
we
transitioned
the
program
over
to
unlimited
a
couple
of
years
ago
and
we
watched
the
numbers
go
up
by
about
40
to
50
percent
each
year,
so
they've
gone
up
quite
a
bit,
interestingly
over,
like
2020
2021,
they
started
to
level
off.
So
we
didn't
see
these
almost
doubling
of
the
numbers
and
across
council
districts.
We've
noticed
that
there
is
real,
similar
usage.
So
while
there's
some
information
on
311,
it
doesn't
capture.
D
E
We
have
all
sorts
of
tactics
to
reach
out
to
our
community
about
junk
pickup
and
we're
happy
to
provide
information
to
council
offices
to
share
through
your
networks.
Thank
you.
We're.
D
C
D
B
Great
yeah,
so
it's
it's
good.
The
program's
great
we
just
have
to
do
a
better
continue
to
to
increase
awareness,
so
more
people
use
it
as
a
follow-up
to
to
councilmember
Foley's
question
as
well,
just
just
to
make
it
clear
about.
What's
coming
back
to
count
to
this
Committee
in
April,
you
did
a
pilot
of
larger
garbage
cans
in
a
small
number
of
places
to
see
whether
that
helps
prevent
the
contamination
or
reduce
contamination.
B
B
Encounter
Foley's
word
of
that
I
do
have
some
questions
back
on
that
diversion
slide.
I,
don't
know
whether
councilmember
Foley
explored
it
as
deeply
as
I
was
going
to
I'm
con
I
was
concerned
by
the
low
43
commercial
number.
Can
you
speak
to
that
at
all?
Do
we
have
any
idea
why
it's
so
low
for
commercial
versus
residential.
D
Yes,
it's
It's
Complicated,
so
we
have
a
a
commercial
program,
as
I
mentioned,
has
an
amended
and
restated
agreement
that
went
back
to
2020
when
that
was
implemented,
and
they
have
a
different
methodology
for
measuring
that
material
and
a
different
way
of
hauling
it.
So
the
the
wet
material
that
I
mentioned,
which
is
the
Organics
used
to
go
to
the
Republic
Services
material
recovery
facility
for
sorting
and
then
the
sorted
Organics,
would
then
go
to
zero
waste
energy
development
for
processing.
D
After
that
amended
and
restated
agreement,
the
material
started
going
directly
to
zero
waste
energy
development,
z-wed
for
processing
and
sorting
so
taking
out
kind
of
that
extra
step
and
z-wed
has
been
adding
additional
infrastructure
to
their
facility
to
increase
diversion.
So
we
expect
to
see
these
numbers
continue
to
increase
and
improve
over
the
next
fiscal
year
and
into
the
future.
So
that'll
be
good,
but
there's
just
been
some
different
methodologies
as
part
of
that
committed
and
restated
agreement.
B
I
know
we
can't
change
things
in
the
short
term.
We
have
contracts
for
long
periods
of
time
and
we've
even
talked
about
completely
co-mingling
garbage
and
separating
it
later,
since
we
kind
of
do
that
anyway,
and
whether
that
would
be
more
cost
effective
and
actually
result
in
just
as
good
of
a
of
a
recycling
rate.
But
this
wet
dry
also
intrigues
me
so
I
just
wonder.
Are
we
thinking
about
what
the
right
approach
is
long
term
for
how
we
do
Residential,
as
well
as
commercial.
C
Well,
we're
always
thinking
about
things,
but
but
the
residential
contracts
go
through
2035.
the
commercial
contracts
with
SB
1383
coming
on
board.
C
We
have
had
conversations
with
Republic
about
ways
we
might
partner
together
to
to
improve
the
diversion
rate
and-
and
those
will
continue
it,
but
it's
really
looking
at
not
just
how
people
sort
but
kind
of
how
they
even
get
what
they
get
at
their
house
and
should
we
be
focused
on
you
know,
total
amount
of
waste
at
the
curb
or
just
number
diverted
and
looking
at
those,
both
at
the
same
time
and
both
separately
to
see
which
which
lever
might
create
a
better
result.
C
You
know
one
of
the
interesting
things
about
residential
Solid
Waste
is
it's
the
only
thing
that
the
city
does
that
touches
every
resident
every
week
and
and
that
we
as
Valerie
alluded
to?
We
have
literally
no
control
over
which
bin
they
they
put
it
in
and
so
to
trying
to
motivate
people
to
do
a
little
bit
better
job.
C
Sorting
we're
trying
to
find
that
line
where,
as
as
you
mentioned,
chair
Cohen,
where
it
makes
more
sense
to
just
do
what
we're
doing
for
composting
and
do
it
for
them
at
the
back
end,
we
would
lose
all
of
the
cardboard
if
we
did
it
that
way,
and
so
we're
trying
to
see
should
does
it
make
sense
to
isolate
cardboard
differently
and
then
sort
out
the
cans
and
bottles,
but
then
that
impacts
which
hauler
does
what
so
lots
lots
of
things
to
consider?
But
but
we
do
think
some
things
need
to
change.
C
B
And
my
interest
is
always
in
continuous,
Improvement
and
and
also
diversion
and
the
environmental
impacts
of
what
we're
doing.
I
know
we
have
obligations
and
contracts,
but
do
we
have
the
opportunity
ever
to
go
back
and
say,
let's
renegotiate
with
new
ideas
for
service,
as
opposed
to
saying
we
have
to
wait
till
2035
to
make
any
change.
We.
C
We
can
always
approach
and
and
negotiate
and
discuss,
but
there
are
also
cost
implications
and
because,
if,
if
any
of
our
haulers
had
to
retool
a
facility,
that's
clearly
a
significant
investment
that
they
would
need
to
make.
And-
and
so
you
know
like
I-
said
as
we
as
we
learn
more
from
our
Pilots-
we'll
sit
down
with
our
with
our
partners
and
and
talk
about
what
makes
sense
they're
all
as
committed
to
improving
our
diversion
rate.
As
as
we
are,
and
so
you
know
we
have.
We
have
very
healthy
discussions
around
what
makes
sense.
B
Yeah
I
appreciate
that
and
I
know.
These
are
long-term
changes
that
would
have
to
be
made.
You
have
to
figure
out
how
to
phase
things
in
over
time,
I
just
get
concerned.
When
we
say
we
can't
we're.
Gonna
have
to
phase
amends
for
2035.
If
there
were
an
opportunity
to
do
it
for
2030
and
we
could
work
collaboratively
with
the
haulers,
we
ought
to
at
least
consider
that
that's.
C
B
Yeah
I
mean
I
I,
it
would
be
a
collaborative
type
of
thing.
I
was
kind
of
also
surprised.
You
see
the
comment
that
diversion
numbers
haven't
really
changed
in
the
last
few
years
for
residential,
given
that
we've
talked
a
lot
about
contamination
going
up
and
therefore
the
ability
to
recycle
has
gone
down.
It
hasn't
diversion
gone
down
in
those
in
those
years
when,
when
contamination
has
been
going
up.
D
C
B
Yeah,
it's
just
interesting
to
me.
We've
put
a
lot
of
talk
into
this
whole
contamination
problem
and
if
it
turns
out
it's
not
making
a
significant
difference
in
the
overall
diversion
number,
then
maybe
that's
not
the
right
place
to
be
focusing
our
efforts.
Point
taken!
Okay,
it
took
me
two
years,
I.
B
Finally,
I
think
by
the
end
of
last
year,
kind
of
started
to
understand
this
entire
puzzle,
given
that
there's
four
haulers
and
a
whole
bunch
of
different
ways
that
garbage
is
collected
in
the
city
and
I
was
also
when
I
finally
figured
out
last
fall.
How
Parks
differs
from
other
City
facilities,
so
we
we
collect
from
City
facilities
with
one
hauler
and
parks
and
others
are
taken
to
by
prns
to
a
central
place
where
they're
then
collected
as
City
facility
collections
from
that
hauler
is
that
the
white
son.
D
Most
of
that
is
going
to
be
mixed
together
to
the
extent
that
it's
a
city
facility
that
has
sorry
two
different
bins,
one
for
garbage
and
one
for
recycling.
It
may
be
separated
there.
Anything
that's
coming
in
from
trails
and
and
Parks
actual
Park,
not
the
park
like
a
community
center
would
be
mixed
and
then
yes,
it
is
processed
and
sorted.
B
Yeah
but
I
I
came
to
understand
that
we
no
longer
have
separate
recycling
cans
in
our
parks
in
our
city,
outdoor
facilities
and
live.
We
all
we've
asked
people
to
put
it
all
into
one
bin
correct
at
those
locations,
so
we're
separating
the
haulers
are
separating
that
off-site
at
their
separation
facilities.
B
Yeah
and
I'm
I'll
be
making
a
proposal
as
part
of
the
budget
process
about
how
we
inform
the
public
of
that.
So
we'll
talk
about
that
later,
but
I
think
we,
the
public
would
like
to
know
because
I
mean
I
know
as
a
member
of
the
public
as
I'm
walking
through
the
park,
I
feel
weird
I'm.
Holding
a
can
and
I'm
like
should
I
really
throw
it
in
the
garbage,
but
to
have
some
signage
and
other
information
for
the
public,
and
we
have
a
proposal
for
my
office
that
we're
going
to
put
forward
on
that.
B
B
On
the
committee
to
take
a
trip
to
one
of
those
hauler
sites
and
see
the
the
way
they
separate
the
garbage,
it's
very
eye-opening,
you
learn
a
lot
about
the
process
of
where
the
garbage
goes
after
it's
collected,
I
think
it's
definitely
worthwhile
for
people
to
do
that,
and
so
with
that,
is
there
any
more
questions
or
we
move
to
a
vote
all
right.
Let's
vote.
B
K
Good
afternoon,
council
members
and
committee
members,
my
name
is
Matthew
Nguyen
I'm,
a
deputy
director
for
public
works
and
with
me
today
is
Noah.
Mascarinas
is
a
principal
engineer:
oversea
the
transportation
and
hydraulic
service
division
that
manage
both
storm
and
sanitary
sewer
programs.
K
K
So,
let's
start
with
an
overview
of
the
storm
and
sanitary
sewer
systems.
The
city
of
San
Jose
in
general,
is
sloping
from
south
to
North,
with
a
higher
terrain
on
the
south
and
the
east
side,
and
also
we
have
Guadalupe
and
Coyote
Creek
running
in
the
middle,
also
flowing
from
south
to
North
and
up
at
the
bay.
K
K
K
Similarly,
in
our
sanitary
sewer
system,
we
also
design
it
in
a
way
that
it
will
follow
gravity
and
it
flow
from
basically
from
south
to
North
same
thing.
It
go
through
a
series
of
Pipeline
interceptors
and
it
end
up
at
the
regional
Wastewater
facility,
where
the
Wastewater
will
be
treated
before
it
gets
released
to
the
Bay.
K
K
The
storm
sewer
CIP
we
have
delivered
multiple
projects
relate
to
GSI
and
also
trust
capture
reduction
and
we'll
talk
about
that
in
the
next
few
slides
and
besides
the
storm
water
quality
improvement.
We
also
work
on
the
master
planning.
This
is
a
very
complicated
program
so
that
we
can
use
it
to
evaluate
our
current
capacity
and
determine
the
need
for
future
growth.
K
K
K
And
here's
another
GSI
project
that
we
are
working
on.
This
is
the
city
land
south
of
Finland
project.
This
project
is
estimated
to
cost
about
22.6
million
and
it
will
include
a
new
bile
retention
facility
that
will
be
constructed
on
a
city-owned
land,
and
this
is
also
known
as
the
horse.
Stables
staff
has
finalized
the
design
concept
and
will
start
working
with
the
consultant
to
work
on
the
design
process
this
year
and
the
project
is
scheduled
to
start
in
2025
and
complete
in
26..
K
K
Storm
train
Master
planning:
why
do
we
need
it?
This
is
one
of
the
highly
technical
programs
that
usually
is
needed
for
for
a
collection
system
of
our
size.
K
This
is
an
ongoing
multi-year
program
that
allowed
the
city
to
properly
plan
for
a
capital
program
and
also
maintenance
program
staff,
complete
our
initial
phase
of
the
master
plan
already,
and
we
are
working
on
refining
the
data
using
the
latest
storm
information,
storm
water
information,
as
well
as
incorporating
the
quick
water
level
into
that
program,
so
that
we
can
have
everything
as
as
one
program
and
the
initial
modeling
result
identify
a
total
of
22
high
priority
projects
with
a
cost
estimate
of
about
215
million
dollars.
K
This
is
an
example
of
one
of
the
projects
that
was
recommended
from
the
the
result
of
the
master
plan
study.
This
is
a
charcut
area
system,
Improvement
project
and
the
project
is
built
on
the
east
by
Coyote
Creek
and
by
on
the
west
by
Guadalupe
River.
Currently,
the
flow
is
going
Eastward
to
Coyote,
Creek
and
initial
study,
showing
that
we
need
to
have
a
pump
right
next
to
Coyote
Creek,
to
pump
that
water
over
the
Levee
and
and
go
out
to
the
creek.
K
However,
during
the
the
revised
study,
we
also
find
out
that
we
can
redirect
all
of
the
flow
and
and
pump
it
to
the
West
Side
toward
Guadalupe,
so
that
we
can
use
an
existing
Pump
Station
there
and
therefore
we
don't
need
to
build
a
new
pump
station.
So
we
work
with
Valley
Water,
show
them
our
calculation
and
models
and
at
the
end,
we
we
got
an
approval
for
doing
that.
So
now
we
are
in
the
process
of
putting
the
finalizing
the
the
design
for
this
project,
so
it
will
be
going
into
Construction
in
2024.
K
We
are
also
working
on
large
stress
capture
device
in
order
to
be
in
compliance
with
the
Imp
permit.
Amongst
other
efforts,
such
as
street
sweeping
styrofoam
band
and
plastic
use
one
one-time
plastic
use.
We
also
built
a
series
of
large
stress
capture
device
in
order
to
capture
all
of
the
trash
before
it
gets
to
the
water
body
and
Creeks
around
us
and
to
date
the
city
completes
six
phases
construct
a
total
of
32
device,
and
we
met
the
transload
reduction
Target
identified
in
the
previous
MRP.
K
However,
with
the
new
MRP,
that's
more
stringent,
and
also
they
remove
some
of
the
allowance
that
we
used
to
have
and
now
the
city
will
need
to
construct
additional
LTC
large
stress
capture
device
in
order
to
meet
the
new
Target,
and
fortunately,
staff
has
worked
with
Caltrans
and
we
apply
and
receive
a
grant
fund
from
Caltrans
to
build
a
new
project
and
in
a
new
project
that
we're
going
to
build.
There
will
be
about
six.
K
There
will
be
six
new
device
to
be
built
on
CD
right
of
way
and
it
will
capture
some
of
the
flow
from
Caltrans,
but
mostly
from
the
city
of
San
Jose
trainers,
area,
and
it
will
will
trade
it
before
release
to
the
to
the
click
and
River.
So
with
that,
it
will
bring
the
city
back
to
to
meet
the
permit
requirement.
K
K
We
are
in
one
now
still
but
we're
working
closely
with
the
city's
Emergency
Operations
Center
and
we
monitor
the
creeks
and
river
and
provide
supports
during
the
storm
event.
K
K
K
This
is,
we
have
a
60
inch
running
on
5th
Street
and
it
was
built
in
the
late
1980s,
oh
no
I'm,
sorry,
1800.
and
and
stop
recently
complete
the
construction
of
a
new
Interceptor
running
parallel
to
this
brick
interceptor.
K
K
K
I
would
say
with
the
tight
coordination
between
dot,
ESD
and
public
works
and
with
adequate
funding
over
the
years,
the
number
of
SSO
has
decreased
significantly
from
192
in
2011,
and
now
it's
floating
at
about
around
35
SSO
per
year
in
2022
and
for
the
system
of
our
size.
This
is
well
below
the
acceptable
level
that
that
we
need
to
achieve,
which
is
about
three
SSO
per
100
miles.
K
So
I
have
to
recap
the
overall
goal
for
our
programs
to
ensure
that
there
will
be
adequate
capacity
to
support
Economic
Development
and,
at
the
same
time
we
would
need
to
strategically
increase
the
investment
to
address
infrastructure
backlogs
and
also
we
prioritize
our
Capital
Improvement
programs
to
lower
operation
costs,
ensure
capacity
and
subsequently
will
prevent
spills
and
improve
the
system.
Reliability.
K
Additional
goals
of
our
programs
are
to
incorporate
Equity
into
our
capital
projects,
for
example,
we
we
are
currently
looking
at
looking
through
the
equity
lens
when
we
prioritize
and
select
our
projects,
and
we
are
being
mindful
When
selecting
a
location
in
the
city.
We
also
need
to
identify
additional
capacity.
K
Sorry,
there's
a
couple
more
slides
that
kind
of
missing,
but
I
I
will
just
voice
over
it.
Well,
I
know
that
this
presentation
is
focusing
on
the
achievement,
as
well
as
our
deliveries
during
last
fiscal
year.
We
like
to
take
a
moment
to
bring
to
your
attention.
You
know
our
current
Challenge
and
the
funding
needs
that
we
have.
K
K
So
with
all
of
that,
we
still
need
a
lot
of
funding
and
you
know
currently,
we
are
working
with
the
city
manager
office
with
the
support
and
guidance
and
Leadership
from
city
manager
office,
as
well
as
budget
office
and
City
Attorney
office.
We
are
developing
a
new
work
plan
to
address
this
need
and
welcome
back
to
city
council
at
a
later
time.
To
present
our.
L
H
Thank
you
play
a
big
fan
here,
yeah
that
really
seemed
like
a
good
detailed
report.
Thank
you.
I'll
definitely
want
to
review
it
to
go
more
in
depth
to
understand
it
in
the
future.
Thank
you.
It
complements
the
work
you
did
last
week
at
Council
on
this
sort
of
item
with
Federal
funding
coming
in
to
be
involved
in
projects
and
I
guess
it
relates
to
sorry.
I
got
cars
going
here.
It
relates
to
San
Jose
Spotlight
read
an
article
about
how.
K
H
Know
how
it's
the
future
of
storm
sewer,
permitting
and
items
like
that
I
hope
it
can
relate
to
those
sort
of
items,
because
the
spotlight
brought
in
a
really
good
article.
They
mentioned.
You
know
that
they've
been
bringing
this
stuff
up
stuff
up
in
measure,
t
commission
meetings
and
a
lot
of
items
on
this
on
your
agenda
today
describe
Mission
T,
commission
meetings.
H
We
have
a
new
person
on
the
council
who
was
from
the
measure
T
commission
process,
yet
measure
key
commissioned
for
the
past
few
years
was,
was
begging
yourselves
and
asking
for
ways
how
it
can
be
more,
an
open
public,
accessible
process
for
the
community
to
be
involved
with,
and
it
pretty
much
fell
on
deaf
ears.
It
was
pretty
much
rejected
to
develop
good
practices
for
the
future
of
measure
T
to
be
a
more
accessible
public
process.
H
I
hope
we
can
do
that
now
and
respect
the
work
that
measure
T
does
and
make
it
make
it
work
towards
that.
A
more
open,
accessible
process
is
hcdc
and
and
the
likes
good
luck
in
those
efforts.
There
is
practices
here
that
are
very
similar
to
what
San
Diego
is
working
on,
because,
as
I
mentioned
before,
we
really
have
to
work
on
sea
level
rise
issues
and
not
be
afraid
to
have
those
conversations
openly.
They're
good
conversations,
I
hope
we
can
involve
San
Diego.
F
Yes,
papa
from
the
Horseshoe
I
agree
with
what
Blair
stated:
100
percent,
with
respect
to
widening
the
scope
by
which
the
public
can
be
informed
about
these
issues
and
here's.
Why
I'm
reading
from
the
document
that
you
produce
in
January,
18
2023,
it
states
and
I
quote
the
storm
Sewer
Master
Plan
is
used
to
analyze
system
deficiencies
and
address
the
planned
growth.
Detailed
in
Envision
2040
sounds
a
2040.
F
F
Oh,
we
can't
build
without
this
four
million
dollar
tax
break
or
without
this
eight
million
dollar
tax
break.
But
yet
the
city
is
going
to
be
having
to
flip
the
bill
when
it
comes
to
infrastructure
and
the
hundreds
of
thousand
dollars
which
I
heard
quoted,
are
hundreds
of
thousands
of
dollars
that
is
going
to
have
to
be
paid
out
in
order
to
support
this
infrastructure.
That
you've
identified
is
planned
inside
this
document.
B
All
right,
councilmember,
Foley.
J
Thank
you
for
the
presentation.
I
just
had
a
couple
of
questions
regarding
the
storm
sewer
or
the
sanitary
system,
or
so
sanitary
sewer
overflows.
This
is
the
fiscal
year
report,
so
it
doesn't
include
anything
that
may
have
occurred
during
our
recent
storms.
But
can
you
tell
me
if
there
were
any
overflow
incidents
during
that
time
and
what
does
that
actually
mean
what
what
happens
when
there
is
a
SSO.
K
Sso
stands
for
sanitary
sewer,
overflow
and
most
of
the
time
it
was
caused
by
some
blockage
in
the
pipe
examples
could
be
from
the
crease
that
you
know
come
into
the
pipe
or
some
tree
roots
that
may
come
into
the
pipe.
Not
very
often
it's
caused
by
the
storm
water
that
get
into
the.
J
K
Stone
at
the
sanitary
sewer
system,
because
the
sanitary
sewer
system
is
supposed
to
work
as
a
closed
system,
no
exfiltration,
meaning
no
other
water
coming
in
so
I
haven't
heard
of
any
storm
related
SSO
during
the
recent
storm,
but
I
can
check
with
DOT
our
partner
department
and
see
if
there's
any
significant
increase
or
any
number
of
overflows
that
happen
during
the
storm.
Okay,.
J
I
I
appreciate
that
that
actually,
that
was
my
only
question
because
I
think
there
were
reports
of
that
in
other
jurisdictions.
Southern
California
maybe
had
some
of
the
the
SSO
situations.
That
I
was
just
curious.
How
that
worked
great
but
I
appreciate
your
explanation.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
That's
it
for
me,
but
I'll
move
acceptance
of
the
report.
Second,.
B
Yeah,
thank
you
and
obviously
some
other
cities
since,
like
San,
Francisco
and
others
wear
storm
sewer,
storm
and
sanitary
are
combined
in
one
system,
run
the
risk
of
those
kinds
of
incidents
more
than
we
would
because
we
have
totally
separate
systems
where
I
assume
we
had
storm
system
overflows.
Those
are
less
of
a
problem
than
a
sanitary
sewer.
Overflow
right,
although
35
sanitary
overflows
just
sounds
like
bad
news
to
me,
but
I
guess
it's
within
the
acceptable
levels,
I
think.
B
All
right,
I'm,
just
I,
have
a
quick
question
about
stormwater
capture
projects
that
we're
doing
so
we're
doing
large-scale
stormwater
capture
projects.
I
know
I'm
excited
about
the
one
at
River
Oaks
and
we're
doing
the
one
at
Phelan.
But
we've
talked
about
doing
storm
water
capture
infrastructure,
maybe
along
our
roads
as
a
potential
way
of
doing
green
bike
infrastructure
between
bike
lanes
and
Roads.
We're
getting
we're
using
measure
T
and
we're
finding
trying
to
get
other
grants
to
do
storm
water
capture.
K
Absolutely
we
are
in
constantly
a
constant
talk
with
our
partner
departments
like
prns
and
DLT,
and
we
do
look
into
bio
retention,
which
is
the
same
thing
that
you
mentioned
it
can
be
built
in
the
median
Island
order
along
the
sidewalk
park
strip
along
the
sidewalk,
and
also
we're
looking
into
Green
Street
projects
and
as
dot
is
planning
for
their
new
projects.
We
work
with
them
and
find
out
if,
whenever
there's
opportunity
for
us
to
implement
our
project,
we
will
work
with
them
and
include
it
in
the
project.
One
of
the
example
is
the
story.
B
That's
good,
that's
good
news.
I
was
just
thinking
that
we
want
to
maybe
want
to
probably
outside
the
scope
of
the
conversation
for
today,
but
may
want
to
bring
the
Departments
together.
I'd
like
to
have
a
conversation
at
some
point
about
how
we
might
pilot
more
of
these
in
various
locations
around
the
city
and
determine
whether
these
are
good,
a
good
Focus
for
us
to
begin
to
invest
in
as
a
city.
Yes,.
L
I'll,
take
that
as
a
an
action
item
and
I
think
one
of
the
things
to
add
is.
We
also
have
to
figure
out
the
operations
and
maintenance,
because
that's
one
of
the
things
that
the
maintenance
costs
on
the
green
infrastructure
is
often
higher
or
require
some
specific
tools
and
techniques
that
we
don't
normally
have
not
say
that
it's
an
overall
higher
cost.
But
we
need
to
figure
that
out
as
we
go
so
we'll
be
bringing
that
in
in
the
group
conversations
all.
B
Aye.
Thank
you
all
right.
That
item
passes
3-0.
Thank
you
very
much
for
the
report
now
we're
on
our
last
item.
This
is
a
verbal
report
on
our
City's
tow
services.
Just
to
point
out
that
coming
back
to
us
in
May
will
be
a
comprehensive
report
on
our
vehicle
blight
program,
which
will
include
a
more
another
report
on
tow
services
as
part
of
that.
So
this
is
sort
of
a
kind
of
a
smaller
scale,
verbal
report
as
a
as
a
precursor
for
that
discussion
later
in
the
year.
B
So
we
have
Rachel.
M
So
just
to
provide
a
brief
overview
or
refresher
on
our
city
generated
tow
services.
City
generated
toes
are
those
that
are
conducted
at
the
request
of
a
city
Department
to
remove
a
vehicle
from
the
public
property,
primarily
those
are
requested
by
our
San
Jose
police
department
or
our
Department
of
Transportation,
and
there
are
six
tool
companies
that
perform
this
service
within
their
assigned
zones.
M
The
city
performs,
on
average,
approximately
13
000
of
these
toes
annually
and
in
2018,
the
city
auditor
conducted
an
audit
evaluating
this
city
generated
tow
services
model,
which
is
was
accepted
by
Council
in
January
of
2019,
and
it
that
audit
identified
17
recommendations
which
informed
four
primary
goals
of
our
toe
audit
work
plan.
That
staff
has
been
working
to
achieve
and
Implement
over
the
past
few
years.
M
So
from
that
tow
audit,
some
recommendations
of
note
for
our
topic
today
were
the
two
key
elements
listed
here.
One
coming
from
recommendation
number
three,
which
involved
the
issuance
of
a
new
request
for
proposal
for
the
towing
services
agreements,
as
well
as
recommendation
number
15,
which
involve
the
consolidation
of
the
contract
Administration
and
to
the
San
Jose
police
department,
with
an
evaluation
of
the
resources
needed
to
perform
this
responsibility.
M
M
August
29th
tne
committee
report.
We
informed
the
committee
that
we
had
submitted
a
revised
scope
for
the
RFP
to
the
finance
department,
their
procurement
proprietization
board,
so
that
it
could
be
prioritized
and
that
happened
in
July
of
2022.
M
So,
to
give
you
some
background
into
that
timeline,
since
that
last
report
out
and
and
up
to
the
current
status
from
late
August
through
September
of
last
year,
it
was
determined
that
the
draft
RFP
did
need
to
be
revised
and
broken
into
two.
What
we're
calling
packages
package,
A
and
B
to
limit
the
possibility
of
an
unsuccessful
RFP
once
that
determination
was
made,
we
then
spent
most
of
September
working
through
the
revisions
to
develop
those
two
packages.
M
It
was
also
identified
in
October
through
December
that
there
was
some
additional
requirements
that
were
needed
to
ensure
we
properly
integrated
the
police
department's
computer,
aided
dispatch
system
or
CAD
system.
So
we
spent
some
additional
time
October
through
December,
together
finalize
and
incorporate
those
updated
requirements.
M
M
So,
to
provide
some
updated
timelines
to
the
work
plan
that
we
shared
it
back
in
August.
Of
course,
these
delays
have
impacted
that
that
work
plan
I,
am
pleased
to
say,
though.
However,
we
did
complete
the
second
item
listed
there.
We
did
develop
and
brought
to
council
the
sixth
amendment
to
the
toe
agreements
that
happen
in
December
and
we've
also
continued
progress
with
coordinating
with
our
stakeholders
and
implementing
our
recommendations,
as
well
as
which
included.
Excuse
me,
expanding
the
ability
to
perform
junk
slips.
M
We
actually
were
able
to
train
several
additional
police
officers
to
perform
that
function,
but
given
that
the
strategy
that
we're
now
utilizing
for
the
RFP
with
the
two
packages,
as
well
as
the
fact
that
this
is
a
market,
the
city
is
not
as
familiar
with,
we
are.
We
unfortunately
don't
have
a
definitive
estimate
on
when
we'll
be
returning
to
council
to
award
that
contract
and
when
the
you
can
expect
a
related
budget
proposals
as
needed.
M
So
we
do
have
that
noted
as
to
be
determined
at
this
time,
and
so
with
that
staff
recommends
that
the
committee
accept
our
report
and
we're
available
for
any
questions.
B
All
right,
thank
you.
Let's
go
to
the
public.
F
Yeshoe
I'd
like
to
this,
this
RFP
beautify
SJ
to
be
completely
dissociated
from
this
process.
Did
you
you
need
to
keep
these
things
separate
once
you
continue
to
start
forming
these
relationships
and
overlap,
all
of
a
sudden
money
starts
getting
funny
and,
and
it
causes
a
compromise
to
the
Integrity
of
these
rfps.
So
quit
quit
emerging
these
kinds
of
systems
because
it
doesn't
work
because
then
you
can't
accurately
identify
who's
doing
what
what
money
is
going
where
and
then,
when
an
issue
arises,
everybody
sits
there
looking
stupid
and
doesn't
know.
F
Oh
wow,
it
wasn't
our
responsibility.
It
was
their
responsibility
because
you
merged
these
relationships.
Keep
them
separate.
I,
have
very
strong
objections
to
San
Jose
beautify
being
connected
to
this
RFP,
so
I'm
asking
for
a
complete
exclusion
of
them
from
this.
Secondly,
cars
have
become
homes
now
so
within
this
RFP
I
want
to
know
what
kind
of
systems
do
you
have
in
place
and
what
kind
of
protocols
do
you
have
in
place
to
ensure
that
people's
homes,
because
of
your
inadequacies
as
a
council
to
address
homelessness
and
poverty?
F
That's
experienced
in
our
city
because
of
your
failures
in
doing
that,
people
have
been
forced
to
use,
they
have
no
other
alternative
or
they
have
no
other
choice
nobody's
choosing
to
live
in
their
car.
They
have
to
do
it
out
of
necessity
and
survival,
and
some
of
these
people
are
part
of
the
working
class.
So
I
want
to
know
what
kind
of
protections
you're
having
in
these
rfps
to
ensure
that
people's
cars
quote
unquote.
F
H
Hi
Blair
Beekman
here
really
nice
words
by
Paul
Soto.
Thank
you.
It's
it's
I'm
a
little
self-conscious
of
it.
Now
that
I've
moved
to
San
Diego
and
you
know
I'm
starting
to
participate
in
their
practices
a
bit
more.
H
It's
really
interesting
to
note
how
different
cities
in
California
can
be
doing
the
same
thing
at
the
same
time
and
I.
Don't
think
that's
necessarily
a
bad
thing.
It's
interesting,
because
each
city
has
sometimes
different
ways
to
address
issues.
They
are
dealing
with
toe
issues
themselves
at
this
time
and
have
set
out
a
real
important
course
to
want
to
talk
about
the
concepts
of
equity
and
that
people's
cars
don't
get
towed,
and
then
they
can
never
get
them
back
again.
H
H
Try
to
try
to
make
it
a
point
that
we
repeat
them
back
to
each
other
and
just
repeat
our
good
things
and
and
know
what
our
good
things
are
and
that's
important
to
do,
and
with
that
you
know
it
will
respect
all
parts
in
the
process
and
how
make
the
process
easier
for
people
who
get
their
cars
towed,
that
they
can
have
them
eventually
returned.
It.
Shouldn't
have
to
be
an
absolutist
world
and
good
luck.
How
to
work
on
this
issue
in
the
future
and
thanks
for
your
time.
B
B
So
the
new
method
is
that
then
they
would
all
be
be.
There'd,
be
a
somebody
at
the
at
PD
who
would
be
reformed
and
they
would
be
then
just
deploying
the
required
tow
services.
Since
it's
now
under
sjpd.
M
Serves
as
the
tow
contract
administrator
so
we're
overseeing
to
ensure
that
the
operators
are
performing
according
to
the
contract
and
that,
if
there's
any
challenges
on
the
city
side,
that
we
act
as
delays
on
to
solve
those
problems
and
ensure
everything's
operating
and
functioning
accordingly.
But
any
tow
request
currently
goes
through
dispatch.
It's
called
in
by
the
city
staff
and
it's
dispatched
out
through
the
police
department.
So
this
RFP
would
essentially
depending
on
the
package
which
one
is
successful.
B
M
Well,
if
for
the
administration
piece,
we
are
asking
the
proposers
to
tell
us
how
they
plan
on
delivering
that
Administration
that
they
know
based
on
our
requirements,
what
we
are
seeking,
if
you
want
to
add
to
that
at
all
this,
but
but.
M
M
We'll
be
evaluating
the
first
package.
I
can
show
that
okay
well,
then
valid
we'll
be
evaluating
the
responses
to
package
a
first
and
if
we're
successful,
it'll
stop
there.
If.
F
F
Contrary
to
that,
there
are
a
lot
of
neighborhood
associations
that
I
work
with
and
that
contact
me
on
a
regular
basis,
I'm
quoting
from
one
of
them
again.
We
get
the
shaft
statistics
are
quoted
in
our
families,
are
only
a
statistic:
dots
ignores
the
needs
of
our
communities,
we're
not
asking
for
statistics,
we're
asking
for
safety
for
our
communities,
who's
advocating
for
safety
for
our
communities.
Months
ago,
in
Casal,
we
asked
for
additional
details
to
be
added
to
bike
Lanes
on
Ocala.
F
That
has
now
been
changed
again
to
a
vehicle
and
bus
lane
for
the
Speeders,
who
are
always
in
a
hurry
and
need
to
use
a
bike
lane
Dot's
response
will
get
back
to
you,
because
Sal
is
still
waiting.
This
does
not
happen
in
will
Glenn
Saratoga
on
the
west
side.
It
only
happens
on
the
east
side.
Do
we
not
pay
taxes?
F
Did
we
not
meet
with
the
D.O.T
for
three
hours
on
Saturday
to
discuss
our
issues?
Three
hours,
end
quote:
are
you
serious?
There
are
members
of
our
community
that
are
meeting
with
the
dot
for
hours.
D.O.T
gets
paid
for
their
attendance
at
that
meeting.
However,
these
neighborhood
associations
do
not
they're
getting
sick
and
tired
and
fed
up
with
the
inadequacies
of
this
city
to
directly
address
traffic
issues.
G
H
Hi
I'll
play
Beekman
here
to
go
out
on
a
limb
a
bit.
You
know,
I
think
people
like
Paul
Soto
and
the
ages
and
and
stature
he's
at
in
at
this
time
in
his
life
in
my
own
life,
I
I,
don't
think
either.
One
of
us
really
deserve
to
be
thrown
into
to
continue
to
be
thrown
into
a
jail
system
or
the
mental
health
system.
H
In
my
case,
I
think
we've
kind
of
earned
the
right
to
work
out
our
own
lives
and
that
should
be
respected
in
in
who
we
deal
with
and
how
we
deal
with
our
issues.
I've
been
pretty
appalled
how
we
talk
so
much
about
working
on
our
issues
and
creating
a
better
society
and
community
and
and
we're
treating
Paul
the
way
we
have
I'm
trying
to
work
out
of
my
situation.
H
H
With
my
remaining
time,
I
think
we
also
would
be
very
thankful
and
that
we
are
thankful
that,
with
toe
issues,
there
can
be
a
certain
set
of
policies
that
can
allow
people
to
get
their
vehicles
back.
When
you
know
it's,
it's
deemed
necessary
and
appropriate
and
helpful,
and
caring
and
kind
and
courteous
and
the
recent
work
in
Washington
DC
to
the
just,
abolish
the
concepts
of
socialism
I
find
close
to
appalling,
and
that
you
know
we
we
go
back
and
forth
trying
to
create.
H
You
know
a
good
right-wing
standard
for
ourselves,
a
conservative
standard.
We
don't.
We
can't
go
overboard
with
that,
and
that
includes
how
we're
addressing
current
issues
of
what
to
do
with
mental
health
issues
and
and
Jail
recidivism
issues.
In
this
work
we
have
to
be
very
sensitive
and
very
cautious
and
decent,
just
awesomely
decent
guys.
Thank
you.
