Before
we
begin,
I
want
to
remind
committee
members
and
members
of
the
public
to
follow
our
code
of
conducted
meetings,
including
commenting
on
the
public
agenda
item
only
on
the
Civic
agenda
items
only
in
addressing
the
full
body.
Public
speakers
will
not
engage
in
conversation
with
the
chair
council
members
board
members
Etc
all
members
of
the
committee,
our
staff
and
public
are
expected
to
refrain
from
use
of
language
and
failure
to
comply
could
result
in
removal
from
the
meeting.
So
we
will
call
the
meeting
to
order
and
take
role.
D
B
E
Great
thank
you
chair
Cohen,
and
members
of
the
committee.
Today
is
one
of
our
favorite
days
of
the
year
when
we
give
the
annual
update
on
both
our
bike
plan
and
Trail
Network.
This
is
a
joint
effort
by
Parks
and
Recreation
staff,
as
well
as
the
Department
of
Transportation,
as
we
know
that
from
the
user
perspective,
these
are
all
one
system,
one
network,
so
with
me
today,
I
have
Liz
Sewell
from
the
Department
of
parks,
recs
and
Neighborhood
Services
and
Ryan
Smith.
F
Foreign,
thank
you
Jess.
As
just
mentioned,
my
name
is
Liz
Sewell
I
am
the
trail
manager
for
the
city
of
San,
Jose
and
I'm
here
with
Ryan
Smith,
and
today
we're
going
to
give
an
update
of
the
city's
bike
and
Trail
networks
and
we're
also
going
to
talk
about
the
funding
for
these
Trail
Networks
next
slide.
F
So
during
this
presentation,
Ryan
and
I
will
discuss
the
Trails
program
and
the
better
bike
plan
of
20
for
2025
and
we'll
also
cover
project
updates
and
recent
accomplishments
and
then
we'll
go
over.
Funding
needs
next
slide.
F
F
In
2001
we
only
had
20
miles
of
urban
Trails,
but
in
2023
this
year
we
have
over
63
miles
of
urban
trail.
So
that
is
quite
an
accomplishment
and
we
are
really
trying
to
move
forward
very
aggressively
on
the
remaining
40
Trails
in
the
future.
We
would
like
to
see
a
hundred
miles
of
urban
and
30
miles
of
Rural
and
trails
such
as
those
at
Alum
Rock
next
slide.
F
So
here
you
can
see
all
the
stages
of
Trail
development
from
identify
to
Open
complete
constructed.
We
currently
have
trails
in
each
of
these
stages,
including
administrative
stages
and
right-of-way
stages,
there's
over
30
active
Trail
projects
and
over
40
Trail
funding
streams,
including
local
funding,
and
grant
funding
the
cost
to
complete
the
net.
The
network
is
going
to
be
about
4
million
I'm,
sorry
about
400
million
that
actually
has
probably
gone
up
about
one
and
a
half
to
two
x
over
the
past
couple
of
years
with
inflation.
F
G
All
right,
thanks
Liz,
so
shifting
over
to
the
on
Street
network
in
October,
2020
Council
adopted
a
new
bike
plan,
better
bike
plan.
2025..
The
vision
of
that
plan
is
basically
anybody
who
lives
or
Works
in
San
Jose,
regardless
of
age
ability
or
background,
can
feel
comfortable
biking
on
our
streets.
G
This
slide
shows
the
existing
Network
in
San
Jose,
along
with
some
of
the
2022
accomplishments
for
our
on-street
Network,
and
so
just
to
go
over
a
couple
of
those.
We
currently
have
16
miles
of
protected,
bikeways
and
16
miles
of
bike
boulevards
and
that's
for
a
total
of
460
combines
with
a
other
bike
type
Bikeway
types
for
460
miles
of
bikeways
on
Street.
Our
plan
network
is
350
miles
of
protected
bikeways
the
100
miles
of
bike
boulevards.
G
So
we
have
a
lot
of
work
to
do
in
upgrading
our
existing
Network
and
adding
new
miles
to
achieve
this
goal.
2022
accomplishments
include
33
new
miles
of
new
bikeways,
which
you
can
see
in
purple
on
the
map
and
how
they're
spread
out
geographically
across
the
city,
along
with
18
miles
of
enhancements
to
existing
bikeways.
G
The
slide
shows
some
examples
of
protected
bikeways
and
bike
boulevards.
The
primary
focus
of
what
we're
trying
to
provide
the
community
on
our
streets
and
just
a
couple
of
a
couple
of
details
here
in
the
upper
left.
You
can
see
a
protected
Bikeway
that
uses
quick,
build
separation,
so
plastic
posts
allow
us
to
really
quickly
Implement
these
types
of
bikeways
on
our
streets
as
funding
becomes
available.
G
As
you
see
in
the
bottom
left,
our
goal
is
to
upgrade
as
many
of
these
as
possible,
with
something
more
more
substantial,
such
as
concrete
landscaping
and
where
feasible,
green
storm.
Water
infrastructure
on
the
right
are
a
couple
of
examples
of
bike.
Boulevards
bike
boulevards
are
typically
on
Commerce
streets
and
they
use
different
elements
like
traffic
circles
or
other
traffic
diversion
to
make
it
more
comfortable
for
bikes
and
prioritize
bikes.
Over
motorized
vehicles
see
you
Liz.
F
Thank
you
Ryan,
so
this
slide
shows
all
of
the
trails
that
we
have
completed
over
the
past
couple
of
years,
plus
the
trails
that
are
slated
for
completion
over
the
next
couple
of
years.
So
it's
a
really
exciting
slide
to
see,
because
it
really
shows
the
continuity
of
trails
that
we're
establishing
in
the
city
of
San
Jose.
You
can
see
so
light.
F
Green
Trails
have
been
completed
since
2021
and
the
blue
have
are
slated
to
be
constructed
by
2025,
so
you
can
see
that
we're
moving
forward
pretty
aggressively
on
the
Coyote
Creek
Trail,
as
well
as
the
Three
Creeks
Trail
has
a
couple
of
projects,
one
that
had
was
just
completed
and
one
that
is
slated
to
be
complete
over
the
next
couple
of
years.
We
are
currently
in
construction
along
the
Thompson
Creek
Trail
between
Quimby
and
aborn
court
and
the
penitentia
creek
trail.
F
We
were
able
to
realign
over
the
past
couple
of
years
after
it
suffered
some
erosion
and
Bank
failure.
Basically,
and
also
on
here,
is
the
Coyote
Creek
Singleton
Crossing,
which
was
which
was
completed
in
2021.
So
I
will,
as
we
don't
like,
to
really
discuss
plans
further
out
than
a
couple
of
years,
just
because
there's
always
there's
stuff
arises
with
Trails
like
Valley,
Water
coordination
and
other
rights
of
way.
F
Coordination
and
and
trails
are
put
on
pause
sometimes,
but
we
hope
to
have
exciting
news
about
the
Guadalupe
River
Trail
in
cd9
and
six
and
three,
as
well
as
the
Bay
Trail
and
a
couple
of
other
Trails.
So
look
forward
to
that
next
slide.
F
So
for
the
completed
projects
of
note,
I
I,
we
pulled
a
few.
The
first
one
is
the
Three
Creeks
Trail.
So
this
one
was
completed
and
constructed
last
year
between
Lonas
and
Co,
it's
open
to
the
public.
It
was
funded
through
local
dollars,
it
it
so
previously
in
2018,
our
DOT
implemented
a
Street
crossing
at
Co
to
complement
this
Trail.
So
it's
that's.
This
is
one
of
the
instances
where
it's
really
helpful
to
have
coordination
between
Dot
and
prns
next
slide.
F
Another
completed
project
of
note
is
the
Five
Wounds
Trail
feasibility
study,
so
this
this
project
has
not
been
constructed
yet,
but
it
kind
of
showcases
all
of
the
the
the
phases
of
trial
development
prior
to
actual
construction.
F
F
This
particular
project
involved
a
lot
of
community
outreach.
We
had
several
community
outreach
meetings
and
there
has
been
additional
community
outreach
since
2010
and
engagement
of
the
public.
There's
a
lot
of
excitement
about
this
Trail,
so
we're
we're
moving
it
forward
as
quickly
as
we
can.
F
This
particular
phase
was
funded
by
local
dollars
and
Coastal
Conservancy
and,
as
I
said,
the
master
plan
is
going
to
be
begun
this
summer,
we're
also
again
closely
coordinating
with
our
D.O.T,
because
this
project
will
have
a
lot
of
intersections
trail,
trail,
Street,
intersections
next
slide
and
finally,
the
Coyote
Creek
Trail
between
Mayberry
and
Empire
Street.
F
So
this
will
connect
the
near
the
the
Berryessa
BART
station
and
Watson
Park,
and
there
was
so
we
recently
completed
design
that
was
in
May
of
last
year
and
we're
about
to
enter
Construction
in
July.
This
was
funded
by
the
active
Transportation
program,
the
ATP,
it's
a
federal
funding
program
and
we're
going
to
begin
construction
as
I
said
in
July,
and
it
will
hopefully
be
completed
by
next
fall
and
that's
that's
all.
G
All
right,
thanks
Liz
in
2022,
we
completed
a
number
of
exciting
projects
and
we'd
like
to
share
a
few
of
those
with
you
for
our
on-street
bikeways
Network.
One
of
the
most
visible
ones
in
downtown
was
the
completion
of
the
10th
and
11th
Street
Bikeway.
This
project
added
a
local
access,
Frontage
Lane
to
10th
and
11th
Street,
where
bikes
and
cars
can
share
space
access
on
street
parking
and
excess
driveways.
This
is
to
contend
with
kind
of
some
design
challenges
for
implementing
protected
bikeways.
G
We
have
lots
of
driveways
and
short
block
segments
that
need
to
be
accounted
for.
This
allowed
us
to
create
a
separated
space
for
bikes
and
cars
in
light
of
some
of
these
design
challenges,
and
if
this
is
successful,
we'd
like
to
implement
this
elsewhere
in
similar
kind
of
contexts.
This
project
also
added
Transit
boarding
Islands,
which
minimizes
or
eliminates
the
need
for
buses
to
cross
the
bike
lane
in
order
to
access
bus
stops,
and
this
also
allows
buses
to
travel
a
bit
faster
down
the
corridor
as
I.
G
G
Much
of
our
on-street
bikeways
annual
work
plan
is
completed
in
coordination
with
our
Paving
program
and
a
couple
of
exciting
projects
that
came
out
of
coordinating
with
our
Paving
program
for
bikeways
this
year
we
completed
two
lane
reductions,
which
is
essentially
reducing
car
capacity,
removing
travel
Lanes
where
traffic
demand
isn't
necessary
for
the
amount
of
Lanes
on
a
street
and
repurposing
those
for
other
modes
in
this
case
bikes.
So
you
can
see
on
the
left.
G
We
completed
a
lane
reduction
on
Quimby
Road
and
Council
District
8
and
added
some
plastic
post
and
then
on
the
right.
We
completed
a
similar
project
on
Pearl
avenue
in
Council,
District
9
plastic
posts,
for
this
are
on
their
way.
Both
of
these
projects
were
coordinated
very
closely
with
the
community,
including
schools
along
the
route
and
on
Quimby
road.
We
also
coordinated
carefully
with
the
parks
department
as
a
new
Trail,
the
Thompson
Creek
Trail
interfaces
with
this
project.
G
Another
really
exciting
project
happened
in
South,
San
Jose.
This
is
a
multi-year
project.
It
was
coordination
between
City,
Catal,
trans
and
VTA
to
redesign
the
101
Blossom
Hill
freeway
interchange.
This
gave
us
a
great
opportunity
to
make
improvements
for
people
walking
and
biking
by
adding
a
fully
separated,
bicycle
and
pedestrian
bridge
to
give
people
really
safe
and
kind
of
seamless
access.
This
link
really
creates
a
way
for
people
to
connect
from
residences
west
of
the
freeway
to
a
lot
of
businesses
and
employment
centers
to
the
east.
G
It's
a
very
exciting
project,
yeah
some
projects
that
are
under
development.
So
we
have
a
lot
of
grant
funding
right
now
to
upgrade
a
lot
of
the
plastic
posts
we
have
around
downtown
and
out
to
the
BART
station
in
Council
District
4
to
permanent,
concrete
separation.
So
on
the
right
you
can
see
examples
heading
out
to
the
BART
station
and
heading
in
along
San
Fernando.
G
These
will
be
upgraded
to
concrete
in
the
coming
year
or
so
we
also
have
similar
projects
on
the
Key
Road
in
Council,
District,
Five,
Bascom,
Avenue
and
Council
District
Six
and
several
streets
in
the
East
San
Jose
and
movie
miento
plan,
which
Council
adopted
and
districts
three
and
five.
Additionally,
we
will
be
continuing
to
implement
our
bike
plan,
along
with
the
city's
Paving
program,
we're
aiming
for
about
19
new
miles
of
bikeways
this
year
and
around
15
miles
of
existing
bikeways.
G
That
will
enhance
talk
a
little
bit
about
bike
plan
funding
and
strategies
and
our
funding
needs.
So,
as
I
mentioned,
we
use
Quick
Build
materials
to
quickly
rapidly
get
a
network
on
the
ground
that
people
can
start
to
use.
As
funding
becomes
available,
we
plan
to
upgrade
as
much
as
we
can
to
permanent
kind
of
Hardscape
landscaping
and
when
feasible,
green
storm
water
infrastructure.
G
It's
a
large
plan,
so
we're
focusing
on
the
right
in
some
areas
where
we
think
our
goals
will
be
achieved.
First,
based
on
safety
based
on
demand
for
bicycling
and
other
factors.
We've
also
carved
out
of
our
550
mile
Network
A
Five-Year
Plan
that
we're
calling
the
priority
Network,
which
you
can
see
on
the
right
by
plan,
has
cost
estimates
you
can
see
what
full
build
out
would
cost
versus
the
various
Focus
areas.
G
G
The
next
slide,
if
I,
can
just
keep
your
attention
to
the
left
for
a
moment.
So
we
consider
the
bike
plan
to
be
more
or
less
unfunded,
as
we
only
have
about
a
million
dollars
guaranteed
to
us
annually
through
a
funding
source
from
the
state
of
California.
G
So
in
order
to
implement
our
bike
plan,
we
need
to
find
different
ways
to
leverage
resources.
We
need
to
go
after
grant
funding
some
of
the
city
programs
that
we
align
our
bike
plan.
Implementation
with
include
our
pavement
maintenance
program,
Vision
zero
projects
and
similar
to
The
Blossom
Hill
101
example,
Regional
Highway
projects.
We
also
go
after
a
lot
of
competitive
grant
funding
and,
finally,
we
work
with
private
development.
G
We
can
condition
some
developments
to
build
out
parts
of
our
bike
Network
and
when
there's
major
projects
such
as
downtown
west
or
City
View
Plaza,
these
developers
can
build
out
a
lot
of
our
Network
on
the
right
as
the
status
of
our
five-year
priority
projects.
It's
a
map
from
the
previous
slide
updated
with
its
current
status,
and
you
can
see
what's
completed,
what's
funded
and
what's
unfunded
I'll
mention
that
the
map
is
slightly
misleading,
as
some
of
these
corridors
are
much
more
difficult
than
others
to
implement.
G
B
All
right,
thank
you.
So
much
for
the
presentation
before
we
go
continue
with
this
agenda
item.
There's
a
little
bit
of
book
of
housekeeping
to
do
related
to
ab2449.
B
We
need
a
motion
since,
since
it
was
late
notice
on
the
virtual
attendance
from
councilmember
Davis,
we
need
a
motion
to
approve
her
attendance
under
ab2449
remotely
so
do
I
have
a
motion.
H
B
Thank
you
and
councilmember
Davis
I
have
to
ask
under
ab2449.
If
there's
anyone
in
the
room
with
you
over
the
age
of
18.
F
H
I
J
All
right,
Blair
Beekman
here
thanks
a
lot
for
this
item,
good
description
of
how
of
the
current
state
of
the
programs
how
programs
are
going.
J
It's
my
feeling
that
I
guess
just
a
few
reminders
that
the
VTA
is
also.
They
complement
this
sort
of
work
that
you're
doing
in
San
Jose
on
these
bike
projects
and,
of
course,
that
the
work
I
do
with
tech,
accountability,
you're
going
to
be
building
some
surveillance
around
these
trails
and
public
safety
issues
and
the
importance
of
Public
Safety,
and
you
know
the
future
of
surveillance
to
develop,
really
good,
accountable
policies
and
practices
with
the
technology,
the
surveillance
Tech
that
will
be
around
these
sort
of
projects.
J
It's
a
real
important
part
of
the
future
of
this
process.
It's
not
just
getting
a
bunch
of
Technology.
It's
making
sure
that
technology
has
good
open
public
policies
and
accountable
practices,
that's
the
key
to
our
feature
of
sustainability
and
how
to
really
build
the
community
Harmony
ideas,
the
vision,
zero,
basically,
and
so
really
good
luck
on
those
efforts.
J
The
city
of
Davis
up
by
Sacramento,
has
some
really
good
examples
of
how
they
work.
The
surveillance
and
Technology
ordinance
with
Wildlife
Trail
issues,
in
fact,
so
as
always
I
always
try
to
mention
that
for
items
like
this
and
I
guess
just
a
reminder
that,
for
all
this
good
vertical
north
south
work,
you've
done
on
this
item,
that's
been
very
interesting.
A
real
good
luck!
J
How
we
tried,
in
the
past
eight
years
to
talk
about
East,
West
bike
trails
and
the
importance
of
those
Concepts
I'm,
really
interested
how
that
can
develop
here
in
the
next.
You
know
a
few
years
and
to
continue
the
work
of
the
past.
It's
tough
work,
but
I
think
it
can
accomplish
something
really
interesting.
Thank.
B
All
right,
we'll
start
with
councilmember
Foley.
K
Great,
thank
you.
Thank
you.
So
much
for
the
presentation.
I
have
a
couple
of
questions
for
you.
One
is
with
regards
to
Bascom
Avenue.
You
mentioned
the
work
on
Bascom
Avenue
was
going
to
be
impacting
D6,
but
what
is
the
status
of
Bascom
Avenue
complete
streets,
and
when
is
that
going
to
be
to
materialize,
because
that
then
will
come
down
into
D9
and
others
yeah.
E
Absolutely
thank
you
for
the
question,
so
the
Bascom
Avenue,
complete
streets
projects
for
people
who
are
are
newer
is
a
partnership
that
VTA
started
with
the
cities
of
San,
Jose
and
Campbell,
and
the
county
of
Santa
Clara,
because
Bascom
goes
through
all
of
those
jurisdictions
and
VTA
rightly
saw
the
need
to
help
coordinate.
So
we
didn't
have
scatter,
shot
approaches
throughout
the
corridor
and
so
really
exciting.
E
Milestone
is
that,
through
the
most
recent
active
Transportation
program,
call
VTA
submitted
with
our
support
for
Bascom
Avenue
for
more
than
30
million
dollars
and
is
receiving
that
yay.
So
we
are
really
excited
that
they're
moving
forward.
You
know
with
that.
With
our
you
know:
partnership
for
the
whole
Corridor
they
had
already
put
in
measure
B
dollars
to
get
the
project
moving
in
terms
of
the
environmental
and
the
early
design,
and
then
the
state
money
that's
just
coming
in
will
we
certainly
hope
fully
fund
the
construction?
That's
what
it's
slated
to
do.
K
E
E
In
the
meantime,
some
things
that
the
city
is
working
with
VTA
on
are
the
quick
strike
pieces
that
can
be
done
without
all
of
that
major
construction,
but
that
won't
have
to
be
redone,
it's
being
coordinated
so
that
that
will
stay
in
place
and
then
also
you
will
see
that
there's
a
new
protective
signal
for
light
rail
at
Bascom,
near
Hamilton,
just
north
of
Hamilton,
that
we
also
got
funded
through
the
federal
Christie
grade
crossing
Improvement
program
that
we're
implementing
so
that
these
all
these
puzzle
pieces
can
fit
together
along
Bascom.
K
Okay
and
thank
you,
that's
really
great
news.
What
kind
of
Outreach
has
been
done
or
will
be
done,
because
that's
and
and
my
office
is
very
willing
to
help.
We
have
a
lot
of
interested
people
who
will
be
very
concerned
and
want
to
know
what's
happening
with
Bascom,
as
we
have
some
development
actually
occurring
on
that
street.
L
So
the
originally
the
Outreach
happened
through
the
actual
development
of
the
complete
streets
plan
itself.
That
was
before.
K
L
Before
your
time
and
there
were
walk,
Audits
and
quite
a
lot
of
Outreach
at
that
time
to
develop
the.
M
N
L
E
Yeah,
just
to
you
know
very
succinctly,
you
know
we
find
that,
as
during
the
planning
process,
the
community
input
is
the
most
integral
in
shaping
the
fundamentals
right.
So
that's
what
Ramses
is
talking
about
with
the
VTA
complete
Street
study,
there
were
open
questions.
Do
you
want
this?
Do
you
want
this?
What
direction
do
you
want
to
go
and
then,
as
the
project
progresses,
we
go
from
broad
engagement
to
input
into
more
specific
features
to
information
to
the
public,
about
kind
of
how
this
is
going
to
take
shape?
E
We
also
through
that
early
process
we're
able
to
align
that
with
Urban
Village
work
that
the
city
had
done
so
that
that
was
kind
of
I
think
from
the
public,
seen
as
like
one
process,
rather
than
it's
for
very
specific
line
items
and
construction,
so
there's
kind
of
more
and
more
Outreach,
less
and
less
engagement.
If
you
will
thank
you.
K
Also,
you
did
mention
girl
and
you
showed
pictures
of
pearl
I'm
curious
if
those
three
people
on
bikes
were
actually
neighbors
who
were
on
bikes
or
were
those
stage
dot.
People
in
bicycles,
because
I
can
tell
you
my
residents
are
not
all
that
happy.
Although
I
was
a
hundred
percent
behind
it
and
support
it,
so
any
any
of
my
residents
are
listening.
You
have
me
to
blame
because
it's
all
about
slowing
down
traffic
and
making
the
streets
safe
for
all
for
pedestrians
and
and
travelers.
G
K
Wonderful,
thank
you
I'm,
so
happy
with
the
project,
and
just
a
couple
of
weeks
ago
there
was
actually
an
accident
nearby
of
someone
running
a
stop
sign
or
stop
light
in
that
area
right
by
the
school.
We
have
a
couple
of
elementary
schools
in
that
or
schools
in
that
area,
and
that's
one
of
the
main
reasons
we
narrowed.
The
street
Pearl
is
a
fast
Street.
A
lot
of
people
use
it
as
a
loop
to
avoid
other
traffic
and-
and
they
can't
do
that
anymore.
So
I'm
very
happy
about
that.
K
Although
my
residents
are
not
so
much
so
that's
too
bad.
The
last
question
I
had
is
it's
not
too
bad?
I
do
listen
to
my
residents,
but
your
safety
is
the
most
important
thing.
If
you're
out
there
listening
to
me
because
someone's
going
to
pick
that
up
and
say
they
shouldn't
care
man,
that's
not
true.
Anyway,
right
am
I
right
about
the
Trails.
K
We
get
comments
from
people
who
like
to
ride
their
bikes
on
the
trails
but
they're
concerned
about
their
safety.
What
are
we
doing
to
keep
the
trails
free
of
debris,
free
of
and
able
for
people
to
pass
through
safely.
F
Thank
you
for
the
question.
I
can
answer
that
so
in
cd9,
specifically,
we
did
just
Implement
deterrence
at
Chenoweth
along
the
Guadalupe,
River
Trail,
and
also
deterrence
at
silker
right
by
the
silker
park,
and
thank
you
Jess,
so
by
deterrent
I'm
talking
about
vehicle
deterrence
such
as
bollards
Boulders
fences
gates
to
prevent
private
vehicles
from
accessing,
but
that
can
also
be
removed
so
that
maintenance,
Vehicles
can
come
through
to
care
for
the
Trails
in
the
city
of
San
Jose.
F
We're
really
trying
we're
working
very
hard
to
connect
our
Trails,
because
in
the
past
we
have
seen
that
when
trails
are
connected,
disuse
is
lessened.
F
Disuse
tends
to
really
congregate
at
dead
ends,
so
in
in
CD
in
Council
District
9,
specifically,
as
you
know,
we're
working
to
connect
the
Guadalupe,
River
Trail
up
to
Branham
and
then
the
capital
and
then
all
the
way
to
downtown
to
hopefully
reduce
the
disuse
along
that
trail.
Does
that
answer
your
question.
K
It
does,
but
it
wasn't
just
specific
to
District
nine.
It
was
really
throughout
the
city
of
San
Jose.
You
hear
we
hear
about
people
wanting
to
ride
safety.
So,
okay,
do
we
have
sheriffs
or
police
patrolling
or
what
kind
of.
F
Or
Park,
thank
you.
Yes,
so
we
have
implemented
a
couple
of
new
pilot
projects
that
I
believe.
So
this
is
through
our
parks
department,
but
I
believe
they're
being
extended
beginning
this
year.
Maybe
around
the
summer
time.
The
first
pilot
program
was
police
officers
on
bikes,
and
that
was
along
the
Coyote
Creek
Trail,
and
that
is
going
to
be
extended
to
the
Guadalupe
River
Trail
as
well,
and
then
we
also
have
implemented
a
project
called
the
trail
safety
team.
F
I
believe
that's
what
it
was
called
and
that's
that
consists
of
our
Conservation
Corps
and
it's
it's
they're
being
managed
by
our
Rangers
and
they
they
also
are
on
bikes
on
the
trails,
cleaning
up
debris
and
doing
light
Landscaping,
where
our
maintenance
staff
have
not
been
able
to,
and
that's
usually
in
our
in
our
more
just
I,
don't
want
to
say,
disused
and
our
heavier
used
Trails
so
like
along
the
Guadalupe
along
the
Coyote
Creek,
some
some
sections
of
the
Los
Gatos,
Creek
and
stuff
like
this.
P
D
Thank
you,
so
much
chairman
I
definitely
want
to
start
out
by
thanking
staff
for
this
extremely
important
work
at
the
root
of
all.
This
I
believe
is
public
safety,
especially
when
in
regards
to
transportation
and
we're
all
very
much
aware
of
how
or
at
least
just
the
loss
of
life
in
our
major
corridors,
so
I
can't
understate.
You
know
just
how
important
this
is.
So.
Thank
you
so
much
for
this
work.
D
You
know
the
safety
of
our
residents
should
be
our
one
of
our
main
priorities
so
really
really
excited
to
all
the
other
projects
that
are
going
through.
I
know
that
this
is
going
to
be
a
great
addition
to
our
our
city
as
we
try
to
push
towards
getting
people
out
on
their
bikes
getting
out
of
cars.
D
Things
like
that
which
I'm
also
supportive
of
I
just
I
had
a
question
because
I
did
do
a
trail
clean
one
Trail
Cleanup
in
my
district
the
other
day
and
one
of
the
there's
also
a
bike
group
and
they're
they're,
really
interested
in
the
lower
Silver
Creek
Trail.
Has
there
been
discussions
on
I
know
that
the
last
plan
I
think
that
was
put
into
place
was
2007.?
Has
there
been
any
discussions
since
then
of
what
this
may
look
like,
because
I
know
there's
a
lot
of
you
know
concerns
about
safety.
D
There
has
been
you
know,
gang
activity
and
drug
activity
on
that
trail,
so
I
think
any
sort
of
Insight
I
could
get,
and
we
could
always
have
a
briefing
after
this,
but
that
I
could
share
with
them
would
be
great.
F
K
F
That
has
not
been
updated,
but
we
do
have
a
list
of
priorities
for
those
segments
beginning
up
near
the
Kellogg
Factory
near
the
intersection
of
lower
Silver
Creek
and
Coyote
Creek,
Trail
and
I'm.
There
are
various
it's
prioritized
not
only
because
of
based
on
the
continuity
of
Trail,
but
also
based
on
the
likelihood
that
a
trail
will
be
possible
in
certain
areas
because
of
right-of-way,
but
I'm
I'm.
More
than
happy
to
set
up
a
meeting.
To
give
you
a
briefing.
B
All
right,
thank
you,
member.
Thank
you,
council,
member
councilmember,
Candelas.
P
Well,
thank
you.
I
do
want
to
thank
staff
for
their
presentation.
P
I've
I've
had
the
privilege
of
serving
on
several
Trail
advocacy
boards
throughout
my
life,
whether
it
was
Five,
Wounds,
Trail
or
save
our
Trails
I
think
it's
I
think
it's
critical
not
just
for
our
our
residents
to
to
enjoy
recreationally,
but
it's
it
if
we
want
to
move
our
ght
reduction
targets,
This
Is,
How,
We,
Do
It,
because
that's
how
we
move
people
safely
from
one
place
of
the
city
to
the
other
I
couldn't
help,
but
to
see
on
one
of
the
slides,
the
the
trail
Network.
P
Currently
you
know
as
it
stands
and
you
know:
I
see:
District
8
Evergreen
in
the
far
right
corner
and
there's
there's
literal
or
no
infrastructure
out
there
out
there
I
know.
Thompson
Creek
is
something
that
we're
going
to
be
finishing
up
soon
and
I'm
super
excited
to
do
something
to
to
bring
attention
to
the
community.
P
So
they
know
that
it's
open,
especially
because
it's
going
to
be
a
critical
component
to
connecting
folks
to
Lake
Cunningham,
which
I
know
my
colleagues
on
on
the
council
care
about
as
well
and
and
and
to
that
note,
I
I
too,
want
to
Echo
my
my
council
member
colleagues,
thoughts
on
Silver,
Creek,
Trail
I.
Think
that's
in
order
to
move
residents
in
my
district
from
one
far
corner
to
you
know:
Transportation
lines
whether
it's
VTA
Caltrain,
the
future
Bart
I,
think
we
need
to.
P
We
need
to
think
about
those
very
difficult
connectors,
because
if
it
was
easy
would
have
already
been
done,
and
so
we
need
to
put
very,
very
concise
and
and
thoughtful
effort
into
to
to
making
sure
we
can
do
that.
Not
just
for
you
know
us
on
the
council,
but
for
the
residents
of
our
district
we
actually
need
need
to
get
to
and
from
so
that
being
said,
I
I,
I
I'm
excited
to
see
the
progress,
especially
I
know
Five
Wounds
Trail,
the
easement
acquisition
is,
is
coming
before
us
soon.
P
B
B
E
So
the
the
current
segment
of
trail,
that
is
funded
by
the
active
Transportation
program,
does
go
under
101
along
the
creek,
but
it
does
end
at
Mayberry.
Now.
The
the
flea
market
development
is
also
conditioned
to
then
continue
the
trail,
but
there
is
a
90
sure
we
can
correct
if
I'm,
if
I'm
wrong
on
this
memory,
that
it
does
use
Mayberry
to
cross
at
grade
with
the
currently
funded
segment.
B
E
B
E
B
That
more
direct
and
there's
already
the
trail
through
the
BART
station,
that's
north
of
that
it's
just
a
question
of
getting
it's
getting
there.
The
East-West
is
an
issue,
obviously
across
many
of
these
highways
101
880
in
the
north
part
of
the
city,
not
really
good,
safe
ways
to
get
across
880,
particularly
as
we
go
further.
North
I
saw
in
the
report
the
central
Bikeway,
which
is
Mabry
over
to
heading
and
then
across,
but
there
was
also
talk
about
in
more
Northern
Bikeway.
That
would
connect
through
to
North
San
Jose.
B
Is
that
still
being
discussed.
E
We
have
general
direction
that
we
take
very
seriously
to
look
for
more
and
better
East-West
Crossings
of
both
the
natural
features
like
the
creeks
and
the
rivers,
as
well
as
the
highways
combination
of
those
barriers
and
the
fact
that
the
Creeks
do
run
north
south.
Primarily
that
has
led
us
to
have
so
many
fewer
East-West
options
than
we
do
north
south.
So
a
couple
ways
in
which
we're
looking
at
how
to
cross
specifically
in
that
North
San
Jose
area
across
880..
E
One
of
them
is
we
are
per
the
settlement
agreement,
moving
forward
with
the
county
and
VTA
to
advance
the
series
of
projects
along
Montague
and
we're
going
to
look
for
or
adjacent
to
it.
But
that
remains
it's
an
early
feasibility
step
that
we're
looking
at
with
those
options
you
know
could
be.
Secondly,
we
are
starting
the
North
San
Jose
Transportation
plan.
L
L
Like
the
rose
Fellowship
quite
a
few
years
ago,
at
this
point
making
sure
we're
making
better
connections
there,
but
we'll
actually
have
the
planning
resources
to
really
dig
in
now
and
say
all
right.
You
know:
we've
got
this
bike
planned.
We've
got
a
few
different
East-West
tracks,
which
are
the
ones
we
should
be
prioritizing
everything
from
Tasman
all
the
way
to
the
north
before
we
actually
have
bring
that
Corridor
to
kind
of
figure.
Those
things
out,
bro
cause
even
one
of
the
ones
right
that
you've
been
involved
in
as
well,
so
yeah
yeah.
B
I
was
going
to
ask
about
brokan
next,
but
I
I
think
the
neighbors.
B
B
L
Yeah
thanks
for
the
question
so
that
the
Tasman
plan
was
actually
just
like.
The
Bascom
plan
we
were
talking
about
earlier
was
a
multi-jurisdictional
complete
streets
effort
led
by
VTA,
which
we
were
a
party
to
and
very
happy.
It
was
so
that,
where
the
road
kind
of
dissipates
into
a
a
general
residential
neighborhood,
so
there's
actually
plans
across
the
entire
Corridor
to
kind
of
up.
B
Jose
Tasman
was
the
clearly
ended
up
being
the
the
most
the
the
most
enjoyable
of
the
routes
and
the
safest
of
the
routes.
So
we
ought
to
keep
it
that
way.
Brokaw
worries
me
I'm,
not
sure,
there's
a
solution-
Oakland
Road
and
Zanker,
but
it's
not
clear
to
me
how
we
really
get
anybody
safely,
underneath
880
there,
the
roads,
Narrows,
it's
there's
not
a
lot
of
space,
but.
B
Another
major
project
for
the
future,
just
one
other
question
last
question
about
the
quick
build
separation.
We
did
one
along
Hostetter
broker.
B
O
O
Different
types
before.
L
And
the
one
that
we're
spending
the
most
time
and
doing
exactly
that
on
right
now
is
San
Fernando
from
the
from
the
station.
All
the
way
to
the
university
here.
L
B
B
So
let
Carrie
kick
us
off
when
she
gets
her
seat.
Q
All
of
those
doing
garbage
and
recycling
so
he's
the
guy
that
really
kind
of
gets
us
to
where.
R
S
S
O
S
O
S
S
S
S
S
S
S
Were
largely
eliminated,
staff
also
conducted
trilingual
surveys
to
obtain
qualitative
information
on
their
on
their
larger
garbage,
cart,
pilot
experience
at
the
end
of
February
and
sorry.
At
the
end
of
January
and
early
February,
all
participants
were
mailed,
a
postcard
to
take
a
trilingual
online
survey.
Staff
also
conducted
in-person
trilingual
canvassing.
S
During
this
time
reaching
about
40
residents
in
person
we
received
259
survey
responses
about
227
of
those
were
in
English
25
in
Spanish,
and
seven
Vietnamese
and
77
percent
of
respondents
felt
their
experience
was
good
or
excellent,
most
selected
that
their
Recycling
and
garbage
carts
were
about
three
quarters.
Full.
S
Staff
have
submitted
two
budget
proposals
for
consideration
this
fiscal,
this
coming
fiscal
year
so
due
to
the
inconclusive
results
of
the
pilot
and
continued
problems
with
recycling,
contamination
staff
will
continue
to
gather
data
and
research
best
practices
to
better
understand
how
potential
program
changes
could
help
to
reduce
contamination.
This
includes
a
plan
to
expand
the
garbage
cart
pilot,
which
will
provide
a
larger
sample
size
to
more
confidently
estimate.
The
anticipated
effects
of
larger
garbage
carts
were
deployed.
S
With
these
expanded
efforts,
staff
will
better
understand
how
to
combat
the
problem
of
recycling
contamination
throughout
the
city.
The
image
at
the
bottom
of
this
slide
shows
the
new
recycling
cart
lid.
That
was
installed
at
about
five
thousand
single
family
residents
last
spring
in
2021,
during
that
recycling
cartilage
pilot
and
the
pilot
also
showed
some
positive
Improvement
on
reducing
recycling
contamination.
Q
So
in
summary,
I
just
wanted
to
clarify
that
when
we
say
contamination,
some
of
what
we
mean
is
garbage
in
the
in
the
recycling
cart.
But
some
of
it
is
also
things
like
wet
cardboard,
so
materials
that
it's
the
right
material
in
the
right
cart,
but
it
got
damaged
by
something
else.
So
some
of
it
is
a
sorting
issue
and
some
of
it
is
a
quality
of
material.
So
we
want
the
we
want
the
jar,
but
not
the
jar
with
spaghetti
sauce
in
it
right.
Q
Q
So
we
don't
want
to
buy
200
000
larger
carts
if
we
don't
know
that
it's
gonna
not
only
improve
our
environmental
performance
but
again
as
we'll
talk
in
the
next
topic.
Because
of
the
new
cost
sharing
risk
sharing
methodology
you
have
with
our
haulers,
we
want
to
make
sure
every
result
that
expenditure
results
in
reduced
rates.
So
so
that's
why
we're
not
recommending
we
just
go
forward.
Q
So
with
that
we're,
oh-
and
we
also
gave
you
all
some
stickers
up
there
and
those
are
the
stickers
a
bit
smaller
that
that
are
similar
to
the
ones
that
are
on
the
new
carts.
The
cart
Lids
that
do
have
shown
have
shown
results
and
would
love
to
give
you
some
more
and
help
spread
the
word.
These
have
been
mailed
to
rate
payers,
so
so
every
everyone
should
have
received
one,
but
we're
happy
to
give
out
more
and
with
that
we're
available
for
questions.
B
Thank
you
for
that
update.
We've
been
kind
of
waiting
for
a
little
while
to
hear
about
this
study,
so
I'm
glad
to
see
it
and
I
and
I'm
glad
you
clarified
a
little
bit
about
what
contamination
means,
because
I
was
going
to
ask
that
question
about
I
mean
there's
multiple
levels,
there's
also
the
contamination
of
people
who
are
thinking
who
are
wish
cycling
right,
who
think
that
they're
Recycling
and
throwing
a
plastic?
That's
not
a
recyclable
plastic
in
with
other
Plastics
is
that
is
that
counted
as
well
in
the
in
the
contamination
question.
Q
So
if
the
material
is
not
a
pro
an
identified
program
material,
if
it's
something
that
shouldn't
be
in
there
or
it's
in
there
of
the
wrong
quality,
that's
considered
contamination,
so
not
the
best
word
for
it.
But
but
yes,
if,
if
you
put
something
just
thinking,
oh
the
city
will
know
what
to
do
with
it.
Maybe
it's
recyclable
like
a
a
piece
of
like
a
kid's
toy
or
something
right.
B
B
What
the
right
way
to
do
it
is,
and
some
of
the
recycling
not
all
not
all
contamination
is
equal,
because
if
you
go
to
a
separation
system
and
it's
clean
contamination,
you
can
separate
it,
it
doesn't
have
an
effect,
but
dirty
contamination
actually
reduces
the
value
of
the
recyclables.
So
there's
multiple
levels,
I
assume
you.
K
Thank
you
for
the
presentation
so
and
thank
you
for
the
chairs
comments.
It
just
led
me
into
a
kind
of
a
spin
about
what's
recyclable,
what's
not
recyclable,
what's
dirty.
What's
not
dirty
I
was
at
a
presentation
at
a
neighborhood
association
and
someone
from
your
department
was
there
carry
with,
and
he
handed
us
all
these
rubber,
spatulas
and
said
this
is
all
you
need
to
do
is
take
the
can
clean
it
out
and
put
it
in
recycling.
It's
not
clean
completely.
It's
still
dirty
and
so
I
struggle
with
that.
K
S
Q
Q
The
cardboard
and
the
paper
products
in
the
cart
are
getting
damaged
by
the
food
waste,
and
so
so
it's
sort
of
like
we've
moved
now
from,
if
in
doubt,
put
it
in
recycling
to
if
in
doubt,
put
it
in
garbage
because
we're
sorting
the
garbage
part
as
well,
and
so
so,
but
before
we
put
that
message
out
in
the
public
purview,
we
really
we
don't
want
to
have
too
many
mixed
messages.
Q
So
that's
where
we're
aligning
over
the
next
year
to
to
kind
of
figure
out
what
makes
sense,
but
in
general
it's
the
liquids
and
the
food
that
are
damaging
the
cardboard
while
we
don't
like
microwaves
and
other
things,
they're
really
not
damaging
anything
else.
K
Right
I
understand
so
just
to
follow
up
with
my
can
of
soup
analogy
I.
Have
this
thing:
I
don't
want
to
put
it
in
my
recycling,
yet
so
I
rinse
it
out.
Therefore,
it's
wet
then
I
put
it
in
recycling
and
that
causes
wetness
in
the
can
so
now
I'm
thinking,
maybe
that's
not
what
I'm
supposed
to
be
doing
and
during
the
drought
which
I
realize
we
may
or
may
not
be
depending
on
who
you
ask
I
didn't
want
to
do
that
because
of
the
use
of
the
water
in
that
so
am
I.
Q
K
Okay,
so
I'm
gonna
have
to
get
that
out
to
my
community
and
one
one
other
thing:
I'm
actually
going
to
invite
you
or
your
team
I
have
a
an
event
coming
up
music
in
the
valley,
and
you
haven't
a
a
recycle
Booth
coming
be
really
great.
If
you
had
samples
of
this
is
our
bins.
This
is
what
you
do
for
this
one.
This
is
what
you
do
for
that.
I
mean
really
interactive
place
that
they
can.
K
The
residents
will
come
by
can
see
how
they're
really
supposed
to
be
doing
it
and
who's
really
going
to
be
paying
attention.
Are
the
kids
because
the
kids
want
mom
and
dad
to
do
it
right?
They
get
it.
They
get
the
lessons
at
school
and
they
want
to
come
home
and
show
their
mom
and
dads
what
they
need
to
do
so
they're
going
to
come
around
and
look
at
our
recycling
booth
that
we
have
set
up
for
you.
K
So
if
you
could
have
it
interactive,
it
would
be
really
awesome
and
I
think
this
is
great,
but
I
still
have
lots
of
questions
about
what's
recyclable
and
not
and
and
we're
you
know,
sort
of
in
the
know,
but
we're
we're
really
not
bottom
line.
Is
that
this
the
pilot
wasn't
conclusive,
is
what
you're
saying
it.
Q
Did
I
mean
recycling?
Improvement
is
the
long
game
right,
so
we
did
see
a
bit
a
bit
of
improvement
and
remember.
We
attacked
the
most
contaminated
routes
because
that's
where
we're
going
to
see
the
biggest
strides
and
so
so
I
feel
like
it
did
produce
results,
but
they
weren't
compelling
enough
for
me
to
say:
let's
go:
buy,
200,
000
carts
and
change
the
whole
the
whole
system,
but
but
we
do
think
it's
going
in
in
the
right
direction,
but
we're
still
not
certain
about
the
covet
effect
and
and
I.
Q
K
Wonderful.
Thank
you
with
that.
Thank
you.
I
appreciate
the
report
with
that
I
will
move
to
accept
the
report.
D
B
All
right,
thank
you,
Casper
Foley,
actually,
that's
a
great
suggestion
about
the
interactive
presentation:
demonstrations.
Even
even
having
people
come
up
and
and
do
the
thing
right
there
on
site
and
say:
where
should
this
one
go
and
how
would
you
clean
it
and
actually
see
if
they
get
it
right?
I
think
that's!
B
The
only
I
was
just
thinking
that
those
of
us
who
have
been
on
this
committee
for
two
plus
years
and
have
been
hearing
these
presentations
and
asking
these
questions
still
aren't
ever
sure
when
we're
home,
whether
we're
doing
it
right,
there's
no
way
that
the
average
resident
will
ever
know
so,
I
think
the
only
way
it
could
actually
work
is,
if
is
if
their
garbage
rates
include
like
one
visit
a
year
for
mccanciers
who
comes
to
their
house
and
recycles
with
them
for
an
hour,
because
otherwise,
there's
I
don't
see
how
people
are
going
to
know.
B
What's
the
right
thing
to
do
am
I
right
and,
though
in
in
the
contamination
issue
is
really
most
important
on
paper
am
I
right
in
that.
Q
B
B
Can
people
put
paper
in
there
I
take
every
piece
of
paper
out
and
keep
it
in
a
separate
can
at
least
until
I
then
mix
it
all
together
on
Thursday
night
in
the
garbage
in
the
recycling,
can
I
don't
see
any
way
to
prevent
contamination
because
there's
going
to
be
something
wet,
something
with
some
dirt
on
it,
rain
gets
in
those
can
those
with
those
recycling
cans
when
in
the
rainy
season,
I
just
don't
see
unless
we
have
separate
paper
stream,
how
we're
gonna
do
this?
Are
we
thinking
about
this
as
a
solution?
We.
Q
You'd
probably
have
something
on
the
street
by
2030.,
so
that
sounds
like
a
long
time,
but
but
it's
actually
not
because
we
have
to
figure
out,
we
have
to
design
a
new
program,
so
we're
spending
the
that
time
between
now
and
2029
figuring
out
what
the
program
should
be,
because
at
this
point
we
couldn't
add,
we
couldn't
add
a
third
bin
in
a
cost-effective
way,
because
it
would
require
additional
trucks,
200
000,
additional
carts
and
a
lot
of
behavior
change,
and
but
that's
not
to
say
that
there
aren't
maybe
some
isolated
places
where
it
could
make
sense.
Q
And
so
that's,
where
we're
down
this
path
of,
if
we
could
get
larger
garbage
carts,
does
it
help
solve
solve
what
we
can
solve,
given
the
constraints
of
the
existing
system
or
is
you
know,
are
there
things
we
wish
more
things?
We
should
say
we
don't
recycle
here
and
then
simply
take
the
paper
and
cardboard
put
it
all
in
the
garbage
bin
and
use
it
for
compost.
So
so
lots
of
different
ways
to
to
get
there.
Q
B
Yeah
and
I
don't
actually
mind
the
idea
of
saying:
let's
put
everything
in
the
garbage
if
we
are
separating
our
garbage
and
exactly
we've
got
the
same
technology
that
separates
contamination
and
non-contamination.
So
let's
tell
people,
let's
consider
this
idea
of
telling
people
only
put
really
clean
things
in
recycling
and
everything
else
goes
in
garbage.
But
then
we
have
a
can
size
issue
so
anyway,
exactly
yeah
I
mean
my
interest
has
always
been
in
maximizing,
Recycling
and
and
so
like,
and
we
gotta
hope
to
get
there.
B
B
All
right
same
team,
I
think
staying
in
the
box
so
we're
moving
on
to
our
garbage
recycling
rates
report
so.
Q
If
you
thought
the
first
topic
was
confusing,
this
one
is
a
bit
a
bit
complex,
we're
sort
of
starting
at
the
beginning
and
and
working
our
our
story
line
through
where
we
are
today.
Q
But
rates
are
obviously
very,
very
important
part
of
our
program
and
we
are,
we
are
competitive
in
our
rates
and
we'll
show
you
that,
but
but
the
rate
structure
kind
of
drives
the
things
we
select
to
move
forward
and
the
things
we
don't
select
to
move
forward,
and
certainly
the
rates
and
compensation
to
our
hauler
partners
are
are
a
relevant
part
of
the
story
as
well,
because
you
know
we
need,
they
actually
do
the
work.
Q
S
All
right
so
residential
garbage
and
recycling
rates,
we've
talked
a
little
bit
about
the
city's
four
contracted
haulers
and
they
provide
service
to
216,
500
single-family
homes
every
week
and
118
400
multi-family
households
at
least
once
a
week.
Services
include
garbage
collection
and
processing
and
the
collection
of
unlimited
Recycling
yard
trimmings
and
junk
pickup.
S
Our
contracts
with
our
forest
service
providers
total
approximately
183
million
dollars
annually.
It's
one
of
the
largest
privatized
systems
in
the
nation,
and
here
we'd
like
to
highlight
that
together,
our
contractors
collect
more
than
500
000
tons
of
material
per
year.
All
of
that
material
is
collected
that
is
collected
is
sorted
and
processed
before
any
non-recyclable
materials
are
sent
to
landfill.
S
Our
residential
garbage
and
recycling
program
is
Guided
by
the
city's
zero
waste
goal
and
waste
State
waste
diversion
mandates,
staff
engages
with
County
and
state
peers
and
conducts
Pilots
for
programmatic
improvements.
Environmental
Services
has
a
comprehensive,
multilingual,
recycle
right
campaign
to
reduce
recycling
contamination
and
our
programs
result
in
an
overall
residential
diversion
rate
of
70
percent.
One
of
the
highest
recycling
rates
in
the
country.
S
S
S
Our
program
includes
waste
processing
to
recover
Organics,
where
many
other
cities
are
needing
to
add
this
service
in
order
to
comply
with
SB
1383.
Many
other
cities
are
needing
to
add
containers
collection,
trucks,
possibly
contractors,
which
also
adds
to
cost
for
their
residence.
You
can
see
in
this
table
that
our
rates
are
about
in
the
middle,
for
single
family
and
very
low
for
multi-family,
and
that
we've
included
our
proposed
fiscal
year.
2023
2024
rates
and
other
jurisdictions
proposed
rate
increases
are
not
yet
known.
S
S
The
remaining
10
percent
is
our
administrative
costs,
and
that
covers
about
four
percent,
for
our
very
robust
outreach
program
and
about
six
percent
and
that's
all
the
contract
management,
City,
Call,
Center
employees,
Finance
staff
and
other
administrative
costs.
It's
still
considerably
lower
on
the
lower
end
than
compared
to
other
jurisdictions.
S
There's
a
few
things
that
impact
our
annual
rates,
for
example
the
refuse
rate
index
or
RI,
which
is
a
cost
of
living
adjustment,
and
this
coming
year
it's
an
increase
of
5.74,
that's
higher
than
usual,
largely
due
to
the
fuel
cost
increases.
Another
example
is
recycling
contamination
through
a
dynamic
pricing
structure.
Contractors
are
paid
more
for
higher
recycling
contamination
and,
since
our
city-wide
recycling
contamination
rate
increased
from
51
percent
in
2020
to
50
57
percent.
In
the
latest
study
in
2022,
it's
increasing
compensation
to
one
of
our
recycling
haulers
by
approximately
one
million
dollars.
S
Our
anticipated
rate
increases
for
fiscal
year.
2023
2024
are
four
percent
for
single
family
and
two
percent
for
multi-family.
These
are
relatively
low
rate
increases
our
prior
five
years.
Single-Family
increase
has
averaged
about
four
I'm,
sorry
8.4
percent
each
year,
the
largest
increase
in
the
last
five
years,
which
you
can
see
in
fiscal
year.
S
B
All
right,
thank
you
so
much
any
public
comment.
I
J
Hi
Blair
Beekman
here,
I
guess
just
a
birthday.
Thank
you
that
on
the
first
item
today,
one
of
the
the
city
staff,
persons,
Ryan
I,
think
his
name
is
it's
nice
to
hear
him
speak
on
the
bicycle
issues?
I,
really
like
his
comments
when
he,
when
he's
at
the
public
presentations,
hope
we
can
be
around
again
in
the
future
at
Public
Presentation
time
for
this
item,
I
wanted
to
comment
that
just
a
thank
you
for
it
I.
J
It's
my
hope
that
we
are
very
much
learning
in
this
as
we're
trying
to
leave
the
Arab
kovid
that
it
can
just
be
easier
and
easier
to
talk
about
the
importance
of
a
subsidy
process
and
how
that
can
help
persons
of
local
neighborhoods
when
they
have
questions
about
their
garbage
rates
and
recycling
rates
and
things
that
that
you
can
talk
to
them
and
it
and
it
can
be
an
open,
accessible
and
easy
conversation.
It
takes
time
to
learn
how
to
do
that
and
I
I.
J
Just
hope
that
my
words
can
date
today
can
help
be
a
reminder
how
to
make
that
process
easier
for
all
of
us
in
our
future.
It's
it's
important.
Subject
matter
and-
and
we
have
the
means
to
work
good
subsidy
programs
at
this
time
for
garbage
rates
and
recycling
rates
and
I
just
hope.
We
don't
have
to
be
fearful
that
we
can
talk
about
these
things
simply
and
openly
as
a
good
Community
process.
Thank
you.
D
Thank
you
so
much
chairman,
just
a
quick
question
and,
depending
on
this
answer,
I
may
have
others,
but
in
regards
to
the
the
rate
and
the
contract,
we're
currently
talking
about
with
our
our
service
providers.
Are
these
the
same
Services
like
when
I
see
junk
pickup
right?
Is
that
the
same
as
when
someone
sees
junk
on
the
street
and
they
put
in
3-1-1
for
them
to
pick
it
up.
Q
Thank
you
for
the
question.
No,
so
junk
pickup
is
a
part
of
the
residential
garbage
and
recycling
service,
and
so
prop
218
requires
that
the
rates
we
collect
from
ratepayers
benefit
those
rate
payers
equally,
so
the
material
that
is
picked
up
in
illegal
dumping
is
funded
by
the
general
fund.
D
P
Thank
you
thanks
Dad
for
the
presentation,
I
I
I
think
one
of
the
the
best
things
that
that
we
can
do
is
is
advertise
for
the
illegal
dump
or
the
the
free
junk
pick
up
for
for
residents.
I
know
in
my
in
my
district
I
get
a
lot
of
a
lot
of
compliments
on
that
program,
especially
as
it's
ramped
up
the
last
couple
years.
One
quick
question:
how
long
is
the
turnaround?
If,
if
a
homeowner
wants
to
request
junk
pick
up
to
the
moment
that
it
actually
gets
picked
up?
R
Requirement,
it's
usually
a
week
to.
L
J
B
And
just
to
to
clarify
since
I've
used
it
a
few
times,
I
mean
the
the
most
of
the
turnaround
is
because,
first
of
all,
you
have
to
wait
for
your
day
of
the
week
because
it
only
occurs
on
the
day
your
garbage
is
picked
up
and
then
so
you
go
online.
B
Yeah
I
guess
I've
never
been
in
that
much
of
a
hurry.
What
shocks
me
actually
is
people
who
take
all
the
effort
to
strap
stuff
to
the
roof
of
their
car
and
rent
a
U-Haul
for
dumps
for
dumpster
days
in
our
district,
when
they
can
just
pull
it
to
the
curb
and
let
it
get
picked
up
by
professionals
and
we
tell
them
and
they
still
seem
to
like
bringing
stuff
to
the
dumpster.
B
But
you
know
we
have
to
service
they're
already
paying
for
it
and
they
don't
they
end
up
waiting
in
line
for
an
hour
with
a
car
loaded
full
of
garbage,
so
I
I,
don't
know,
I
haven't
been
able
to
figure
it
out.
Just
one
question
on
that:
what
percentage
of
our
customers
have
used
that
service
in
a
typical
year.
Q
Jeff
and
Valerie
I
know
you
guys
have
we
do
look
at
it,
the
for
the
distribution
District
by
District,
because
one
of
our
objectives
is
to
ensure
that
there's
relatively
even
participation
throughout
the
city
and
that
helps
focus
our
our
Outreach
but
Jeff
Valerie.
Do
you
know
about
what
percent.
S
Trying
to
remember
not
off
the
top
of
my
head,
we
do
look
at
it
like
who's
used
it
at
least
once
yeah,
and
some
we
have
some
heavier
users
who
use
it
multiple
times,
and
then
we
I
think
we've
looked
at
it
over
the
course
of
two
years
as
well
thinking
that
maybe
somebody
might
use
it.
You
know
one
year,
but
not
the
next,
so
it's
usually
around
I
want
to
say
roughly
around
30
percent
of
our
residents.
S
Yeah
and
that's
I
think
I'm,
just
single
family
multi-family
have
it
available
as
well,
but
participation
is
a
little
different
depending
on
the
complex
I.
B
Was
surprised
it's
that
high,
but
it'd,
be
great
to
know
I'd
like
to
the
stats
would
be
we
have
200,
000
or
so
residential
single
family,
home
residential
customers.
So
how
many
total
pickups
have
there
been
and
then
how
many
unique
customers
have
there
been
I
think
it
would
be
interesting
for
us
to
know
that,
but.
Q
B
With
Council,
American,
Dallas,
I
think
I
think
our
as
our
Council
Office
is
promoting.
This
could
be
impactful.
B
We
have
to
continue
to
remind
people
that
the
service
exists,
and
then
it's
really
easy
and
there's
no
reason
a
to
wait
for
our
next
dumpster
Day
or
B
to
dump
it
on
the
side
of
the
road
or
over
by
the
next
by
the
local
homeless
encampment,
which
is
actually
what
also
happens
or
along
the
side
of
the
highway
I
mean
that's
where
people
are
bringing
their
stuff
rather
than
just
bringing
it
to
the
sidewalk
and
getting
it
picked
up
there.
We.
Q
We
have
heard
from
a
very
small
fraction
of
the
community,
but
it's
probably
more
than
we're
hearing
that
for
some
folks,
it's
physically
challenging
for
them
to
get
the
material
from
their
home
to
the
curb.
So
like
you
have
new
furniture
delivered,
but
if
you
can't
get
it
to
the
curb
kind
of
thing,
and
so
on
my
block,
we
just
try
and
help
each
other.
Q
So
if
there's
any
way
to
weave
that
into
the
messaging
to
you
know
ask
for
a
helping
hand
to
get
it
out
to
the
curb,
since
there
are
restrictions
on
when
you
can
put
it
out
and
but
we'd
be
happy
to
work
with
I'm
not
going
to
show
up
and
help
personally,
but
but
we'd
be
happy
to
to
figure
out
how
to
weave
that
into
our
messaging
as
well.
B
We
all
have
staff
for
that
right.
No,
but
but
no
that's
I!
Guess
that's
a
good
point.
I
mean
I'm.
I
was
comparing
it
to
people
who
actually
loaded
onto
a
car
and
bring
it
to
a
dumpster
which
seems
like
more
work
but
I
I.
That's
a
reasonable
suggestion,
as
well
as
help
neighbors
should
help
each
other.
B
Just
one
more
question
whose
responsibility
is
it
when
there's
High
contamination
and
the
and
the
recycling
provider
has
overages?
Because
of
that
do
we
have
some
contractual
obligation
to
I?
Think
I
saw
there
was
a
million
dollars,
so
we
have
who's
responsible,
ultimately
for
losses
incurred
as
a
result
of
that.
Q
So
the
structure
of
the
contract
today,
which
is
very
different
from
where
it
was
five
years
ago,
is
every
two
years.
We
do
a
curbside
audit
and
if
the
contamination
is
up,
we
pay
the
hauler
more
as
an
as
a
way
to
reimburse
them
for
the
increased
costs
that
they
could
that
they
had
to
Bear
because
of
the
contamination
and
then
there's
going
to
be
a
day
where
it
comes
down
and
then
that
payment
would
be
reduced
because
they
would
no
longer
be
bearing
the
excess
costs
of
contamination.
Q
So
so
far,
this
is
our
second
time.
It's
only
gone
up.
We
didn't
foresee
covid
during
the
rate
setting
process,
but
you
know
I
think
it
did
work
out
more
more
fairly
for
our
haulers,
because
the
reality
is
the
contamination
went
up,
and
so
they
would
have
borne
those
costs.
And
so
at
least
there
was
a
mechanism
in
play
to
to
account
for
that.
B
C
Candelas
hi
Ortiz
pulley
I
Cohen
hi.
Thank
you.
B
Great
and
now
we're
on
to,
as
everyone
knows,
my
very
favorite
topic,
climate,
smart
Carey,
go
ahead
and
kick
us
off
when
you're
ready.
Q
Good
afternoon
Carrie
Romano
director
environmental
services,
and
we
are
excited
to
share
our
semi-annual
update
on
climate,
smart
activities
so
recall
in
the
semi-annual
update.
We
talk
about
kind
of
what
we've
done
in
the
last
little
bit
and
then
we
share
what
we're
working
on
in
the
near
and
sometimes
longer
term
and
I
think
we're
making
a
lot
of
progress.
We're
not
at
Carbon
neutrality
yet,
but
but
we
are
definitely
gaining
a
lot
more
accelerated
movement
and
then
participation
from
the
community
as
well.
Q
So
with
that
I'll
turn
it
over
to
Julie
benavente
Julie
is
our
deputy
director
leading
climate
smart
across
many
departments
in
the
city.
M
Afternoon
and
also
just
want
to
celebrate
Earth
month
since
we're
in
April
now
so
just
a
really
quick
background,
we're
going
to
go
through
a
little
bit
background
on
climate,
smart,
we're
also
going
to
provide
an
update
on
just
some
of
the
core
activities
or
Community
engagement
and
programs
and
policies,
and
then
give
you
a
look
on.
What's
on
the
horizon
for
climate,
smart.
M
And
just
as
part
of
our
background,
our
plan,
the
climate
smart
plan,
was
approved
in
2018
and
2021.
We
adopted
a
resolution
setting
a
carbon
neutrality
by
2030
goal
and
in
20
in
June
2022,
a
council
adopted
the
pathway
to
carbon
neutrality
by
2030,
a
plan
which
helped
to
prioritize
four
key
strategies:
around
zero
emissions.
Vehicles
reduce
reducing
vehicle
miles
traveled
by
20,
switching
out
appliances
from
fossil
fuel
to
electric
and
carbon
neutral
electricity.
M
In
terms
of
some
of
the
core
activities
under
climate
Smart,
City
staff
have
acquired
a
3.5
million
in
direct
funding
and
in-kind
resources
in
this
reporting
period.
So
we're
looking
at
the
September
through
February
2023
reporting
period.
This
is
helping
to
fund
Community,
resiliency,
Hub
design,
Urban
and
urban
Freight
pilot
design
and
bikeways
and
pedestrian
improvements.
M
We
also
applied
for
a
1.7
one,
one
million
745,
000
and
400
sorry,
1
million
745
000
in
external
funding
in
this
reporting
period,
and
we
are
planning
also
to
submit
for
at
least
two
million
in
applications
in
the
next
reporting
period.
M
So
a
lot
going
on
on
the
funding
front
in
terms
of
additional
core
initiatives,
we
completed
the
municipal
greenhouse
gas
inventory
during
this
reporting
period
and
we
also
initiated
the
climate
Smart
Plan
update,
which
we
had
when
we
adopted
the
plan
agreed
that
we
would
do
updates
approximately
every
four
years,
and
we
also
had
Outreach
to
inform
the
climate
advisory
commission,
which
will
be
coming
to
Council
in
May.
M
For
community
outreach
and
engagement,
we
concluded
our
go
green
teams
pilot
with
22
teams,
which
included
168
actions
completed
by
those
teams
with
more
in
progress
resulting
in
122
tons
of
CO2
reduced
and
over
30
000
in
utility
bill
savings.
So
these
are
these
neighborhood
based
Grassroots
teams
that
are
working
towards
climate,
smart
goals
as
well.
M
L
Julie
Ramses
madhu
division,
manager
of
planning
policy
and
sustainability
ndot
last
year
was
a
really
big
year
for
Transportation
Planning
and
new
programs.
We've
talked
a
lot
about
them,
but
we're
going
to
cap
we're
going
to
highlight
one
that
happened
right
at
the
end
of
the
year
in
our
last
reporting
period,
which
is
council's
adoption
of
the
transportation
demand
management
and
parking
ordinance
update.
L
As
you
know,
this
removed
all
parking
minimums
across
the
city
and,
if
you
have
noted
in
the
news
lately,
this
is
being
discussed
even
more
every
day,
there's
an
immense
amount
of
Articles
coming
out
and
many
layers
of
of
the
press
and
across
the
country
we're
seeing
this
move
being
taken
now
across
the
country.
So
it's
pretty,
we
were
leading
or
one
of
the
leading
cities
in
that
importantly,
we
did
add.
Of
course,
the
transportation
demand
management
side
to
the
other
side
of
the
coin.
L
Here
right,
build
less
parking,
make
sure
you're
still
investing
in
the
transportation
system
for
those
who
are
not
using
the
auto
mobile
and
kind
of
help
make
that
economy
work
out
better
and
that,
of
course,
is
Shifting
trips
over
that
rule.
Doesn't
go
into
effect
until
April
10th,
actually
we're
still
working
on
some
technical
elements
there,
and
that
was
the
the
effective
date
on
that
and
with
that
I
will
pass
it
over
to
Kate.
T
Thank
you
good
afternoon,
Kate
siemba
senior
environmental
program
manager
with
the
community
energy
Department.
The
first
program
we'll
talk
about
under
zero
emission
Vehicles
is
the
California
electric
vehicle
infrastructure
program,
also
known
as
Cali
VIP.
This
is
a
partnership
with
the
California
energy
commission
to
provide
14
million
in
rebates
to
install
level
2
and
fast
chargers
at
multi-family.
Housing
workplaces
in
public
places
it
launched
in
late,
2020
and
Chargers
will
continue
to
be
installed
through
2025.
T
In
2023
San
Jose,
clean
energy
customers
are
receiving
our
green
Source
service
as
a
default,
which
is
60,
renewable
and
95
percent.
Carbon
free,
green
Source
rates
are
also
one
to
three
percent
lower
than
PG
e
customers
continue
to
upgrade
to
Total
green
for
100
renewable
energy.
We
now
have
more
than
1700.
T
and
to
meet
this
demand
for
renewable
energy.
We
continue
to
contract
for
new,
renewable
and
reliability
resources,
including
solar,
wind,
short
and
long
duration,
battery
storage
and
geothermal
some
resource
have
resources
have
already
begun
operating,
while
some
will
come
online
in
the
next
several
years
and
together,
these
resources
will
provide
enough
renewable
energy
to
power
about
300
000
homes.
T
We
are
offering
a
residential
program
called
the
home,
applying
Home
Appliance
Savings
Program,
which
offers
50
to
70
percent
discounts
on
Efficient
Electric
appliances
like
refrigerators,
washers
and
dryers,
as
well
as
free,
smart,
thermostats
and
two
groups
are
eligible
for
this
program.
Single
family
households
look
located
in
certain
census,
tracts
in
the
city
that
have
higher
levels
of
pollution,
as
well
as
moderate
income.
Single-Family
households
located
single
Citywide,
as
of
February
customers,
have
ordered
140
smart
plugs,
119,
smart
thermostats,
10
appliances.
M
M
And
on
the
electrification,
Workforce
Development
front,
we've
been
working
with
labor
organizations
and
local
Regional
and
Statewide
organizations
to
leverage
available
resources
and
bring
trainings
to
contractors
in
San.
Jose
we've
also
been
developing
a
contractor
list
and
a
survey
in
order
to
determine
what
is
the
best
method
to
reach
contractors
and
communicate
with
contractors
in
San
Jose
for
future
programming
for
our
building
performance,
ordinance,
which
was
adopted
in
2018,
and
it
applies
to
non-residential
and
multi-family
buildings
that
are
20,
200,
20,
000
square
feet
or
larger.
M
That
program
is
actually
in
a
Beyond
benchmarking
phase,
starting
in
2023.
So
that's
going
to
require
that
buildings
meet
key
performance
standards
or
take
energy
and
water
efficiency.
Improvement
steps
in
order
to
remain
in
compliance
staff,
has
have
been
gearing
up
for
implementation
of
this
phase
and
developed
a
web
page
and
resources
with
training
webinars
to
assist
covered
properties
with
compliance
and
then
just
looking
ahead.
I
won't
go
through
this
full
list,
but
you
can
see.
B
Great,
that's
thank
you
for
the
very
thorough
report
and
now,
let's
go
to
public
comment.
J
Hi
Blair
Beekman
here:
can
you
I
hope
you
can
hear
my
mic?
Okay,
yeah.
M
J
Hear
you
great,
thank
you.
Okay
for
this
item.
I
just
wanted
to
comment.
Climate
change
is
an
important
issue
and
we've
been
dealing
with
some
really
weird
storms
this
past
year.
I
don't
know
if
it
is
a
indication
of
what
our
storms
are
going
to
be
like
in
the
future,
but
I
I
think
it
really
was
a
telling
tale
about
that.
J
We
may
have
some
serious
sea
level
rise
issues
going
around
the
Bay
Area
all
around
the
low-lying
areas
of
the
Bay
and
I
I
I've
sat
here
often
that
I
just
hope.
We
can
learn
how
to
speak
on
this
subject
more
clearly
in
our
future
of
community
efforts
and
and
practices
and
I
know.
J
Real
estate
is
important
for
yourselves,
but
we
just
really
have
to
be
honest
about
how
we
talk
about
climate
change
and
what
is
going
around
the
Bay
Area
at
this
time
and
what
our
low-lying
areas
around
the
bay
are
suffering
from,
and
we
have
to
just
really
be
honest
and
clear
about
that.
You,
you
started
a
whole
new
set
of
funding
dollars
for
sewer
and
storm
water
related
issues,
federal
dollars
that
it's
my
hope
that
you
know
your
good
practices
that
you'll
be
having
in
this
area
can.
J
Can
you
can
talk
to
people
of
Oakland
about
this
and
city
government
who
I
think
they
need
some
help
in
how
to
talk
to
federal
agencies,
to
to
receive
these
sort
of
federal
dollars
and
that
as
you're
going
to
be
dealing
with?
These
are
issues
that
are
going
to
help
address
how
to
how
to
address
homeless
issues
around
creeks
and
and
things
that
I
hope.
D
Thank
you
so
much
first
off
I
just
want
to
thank
our
staff
for
their
excellent
work.
I
think
when
it
comes
to
climate
change,
that's
one
of
the
major
issues
that
are
at
the
Forefront
of
all
of
us,
because
it
deals
with
the
city,
the
future
of
of
you
know
the
world
and,
of
course,
our
city
and
when
I,
what
I
believe
is
our
most.
You
know
precious
assets,
which
is
our
children
when
our
our
next
Generation.
D
So
this
is
exactly
the
type
of
work
we
should
be
working
on
and
investing
in
and
and
making
sure
that,
as
as
the
city
grows,
that
we
do
so
in
a
way
that
you
know
preserves
our
environment
and
you
know
does
as
much
as
little
as
harm
as
possible
to
the
environment.
D
Another
you
know
concern
I
did
see
that
you,
you
did
mention
issues
of
Workforce
and
that
you
are
working
with
some
of
the
labor
groups
and
organizations.
Have
we
looked
at
you
know
and
I
agree.
We
need
to
be
doing
this,
but
as
have
we
also
looked
at
the
potential
job
loss
that
may
be
impacted
as
we
move
into
climate.
Smart.
D
Well,
we're
already
doing
it,
but
as
we
continue
to
move
forward
on
this
plan
and
if
there
is
any
way
I
don't
know
to
offset
some
of
the
job
loss,
whether
it's
like
through
purple
pipe
projects
or
or
Etc
I.
Just
wanted
to
hear.
If
staff
have
this
at
the
front
of
their
mind
and
where
they
are
in
the
thoughts.
Q
Thank
you
for
the
question.
You
know
we
do
have
a
desire,
as
you
know,
to
significantly
expand
purple
pipe
and
are
looking
for
for
funding
the
real
log
genre
on
that
one
is
how
to
pay
for
it,
and
so
so
what
we're
trying
to
do
is
is,
as
you
suggest,
look
at
the
the
many
things
we
could
do
and
then
say
the
which
ones
do
we
think
we
can
afford.
Q
Q
D
Now
that
makes
a
total
sense
and
I
appreciate
you
acknowledging
staff's
concern
and
attention
on
that
sensitive.
D
You
know
topic
because
there's
multiple,
you
know
groups,
you
know,
obviously
electricians
would
benefit
from
the
electrification
and
pipe
fitters
wouldn't
right,
and
so
it's
like
balancing
you
know,
because
it's
so
as
someone
who's
been
in
the
pipe
trades
for
20
or
30
years,
oh
yeah,
there's
going
to
be
new
jobs,
go
through
the
ibw
apprenticeship
program
right
that
may
not
be
as
well
received,
then
somebody
coming
out
of
college
or
high
school,
who
are
like
hey
I,
want
to
enter
enter
this
career.
D
So
you
know,
purple
pipes
are
something
that
I
definitely
think
are
are
one
Avenue,
but
you
mentioned
funding
so
happy
that
you
know
consider
me
as
a
partner,
I'd
love
to
identify
ways,
because
I
want
to
preserve
as
many
jobs
that
pay
a
livable
wage
here
that
don't
require
a
degree,
and
you
know
trades
have
been
an
Avenue
for
for
Working
Poor
to
join
the
work.
The
middle
class
so
appreciate.
Q
That
well
thank
you
and
we
will
definitely
take
your
offer.
Take
you
up
on
your
offer
to
to
partner.
You
know
my
my
analogy
is
I
can
only
imagine
if,
if
Kip
showed
up
one
day
and
said
Carrie
you're
going
to
train
to
be
a
librarian
I'd
be
like
what
okay
like
that
would
be
shocking
for
me,
probably
for
Jill
too,
but
but
you
know
just
balancing
how
that
feels.
We
do
a
lot
of
that
at
the
regional
Wastewater
facility
as
well
as
we
have
all
this
new
equipment
coming
on.
Q
You
know
we
we
try
to
say
hey
who's,
who's
interested
in
learning
that
and
who
wants
to
stay
with.
You
know
the
stuff
that
they
built
their
career
on
and
we
need
both.
So
definitely
we'll
engage
you
on
that
and
please
let
us
know
if
there's
things
we
think
we
you
know
forums,
we
should
be
going
to
other
folks.
We
should
be
talking
to
that.
We
don't
have
on
our
radar
Julie
anything
to.
M
Add
yeah
and
I
just
wanted
to
mention
too,
because
we
have
been
talking
with
the
pipefitters
and
we
connected
them
with
the
regional
Workforce
developments
happening.
M
It's
it's
a
group,
that's
I
think
it's
mainly
based
out
of
the
East
Bay,
but
they're,
also
organizing
San
Francisco,
and
we
just
recently
joined
as
well
to
talk
about
how
do
we
make
this
transition
right
and
then
they've
also
been
working
with
us
and
we're
looking
to
have
them
on
our
community
Advisory
board
for
the
block
power,
so
that
we
can
make
sure
that
we,
you
know,
consider
their
what
they're
interested
in
as
well
and
I.
Think
from
what
my
initial
conversations
with
them,
it
did
seem
like
they.
M
They
see
that
this
is
where
things
are
going
and
so
they
they
actually
are
just
looking
at
the
service
portion
of
it.
So
with
still
with
some
of
the
equipment,
that's
out
there,
how
do
they
train
up
their
staff
to
make
sure
that
you
know
they
can
still
be
part
of
that
Workforce,
because
it's
still
going
to
be
needed
even
from
the
pipefitters
they're,
not
they're,.
M
So
we
we
don't,
have
it
fully
established
right
now,
so
we're
just
looking
we're
trying
to
recruit
to
bring
people
on
as
part
of
this
community
Advisory
board
for
blog
power,
so
that
that
board,
the
intent
is
for
them
to
help
develop
the
program
so
both
accelerator
program,
but
also
the
Workforce
Development
portion
of
that
so
kind
of
two
aspects
of
it
and
they
and
they
actually
probably
will
be
two
separate
groups
of
like
a
Workforce,
Development
Group
and
then
the
community
advisory,
but
they
so
we're
looking
at
community-based
organizations
and
trying
to
see
you
know
who
would
be
interested
to
help
to
build
up
that
program.
M
We
just
want
to
make
sure
also
that
the
Outreach
part
of
it
is,
you
know,
makes
sense
and
is
reaching
the
right
people,
because
it
does
have
a
component.
That's
focused
on
disadvantaged
communities
in
San
Jose
and
helping
to
do
upgrades
in
those
homes
as
well.
So
that's
all.
E
M
Q
Our
intentional
strategy
with
block
power
is
because
it
is
such
an
important
Endeavor
for
us
is
not
to
have
it
just
be
City
staff
thoughts,
because
I'm,
not
a
pipe
fitter,
I,
don't
know
what's
out
there
and
so
making
sure
we're
getting
the
folks
that
are
most
impacted
and
most
knowledgeable,
helping
to
shape
and
and
co-create
the
the
program
so
that
it
hits
the
right
spots.
D
Well,
I
appreciate
your
comments.
Definitely
seems
like
you
are
approaching
it
with
the
right
perspective,
and
you
know
it's
as
as
we
make
our
decisions
as
we
go
forth
in
city
hall,
there's
always
going
to
be
benefiters
and
some
communities
who
may
be
impacted
so
I
think
as
long
as
we're
making
room
for
those
impacted
communities
to
be
a
part
of
the
conversation,
I
I'm.
Supportive
of
what
we're
doing.
Thank
you
so
much.
P
Thank
you
thanks
staff
for
the
presentation,
I
think
ensuring
we're
moving
the
needle
in
our
geg
reduction
targets
is
imperative
of
what
we
do,
especially
for,
like
my
colleague
said
for
our
future
Generations
I
I
have
a
question
on
I
I,
think
we're
doing
a
great
job
on
the
electrification
and
and
doing
what
we
can
with
with
our
with
our
grid,
but
with
regards
to
water
use,
efficiency
and
looking
at
reach
codes
pertaining
to
the
the
reducing
the
use
or
what
we
can
decentivize
the
use
of
water
in
our
future
development
targets.
P
You
know,
I
know,
reach
codes
are,
are
building
codes
are
updated
on
a
tri-annual
basis,
but
I
guess
you
know,
are
we?
Are
we
looking
at
exploring
potential
water
use
efficiencies
with
regards
to
our
reach
code,
because
I
mean
we're
pushing
the
envelope
with
our
with
our
ghg
targets
and
our
electrification,
but
are
we
doing
the
same
with
with
water
and
something
you
know
a
little
bit?
You
know
at
the
Forefront
of
everybody's
mind.
P
Well,
not
not
so
much
lately,
but
but
but
you
never
know,
boom
bust
Cycles
are
are
a
regular
thing.
Now.
P
Q
And
that
and
we
are
working
on
kind
of
the
whole
water
supply
picture
and
understanding.
You
know
what
options
we
have
today,
but
also
what
future
needs
will
be
and
how
we,
with
a
particular
focus
on
reducing
the
demand
on
potable
water,
since
that
sort
of
has
very
unique
uses,
and
then
there
are
things
like
50
of
our
uses
Outdoors.
Q
Yet
because
there
are
some
some
economic
factors
and
it
does
having
recycled
water
in
your
building
does
increase
the
staff
you
have
to
have
and
how
you
maintain
it,
and
so
we
want
to
make
sure
it
gets
to
the
desired
results.
So,
in
summary,
my
answer
is
not
yet,
but
but
definitely
we're
working
and
working
collaboratively
with
Valley
Water
and
with
others
to
make
sure
that
what
we
put
out
makes
sense,
keep
your
big
in
the
Water
World.
Anything
to
add
to
that.
U
A
lot
of
pressure,
Parker's,
Deputy
city
manager,
I,
think
Kerry's
right
on
point
and
I
think,
regardless
of
where
we
are
in
the
in
the
the
flooded
drought
cycle,
I
think
we're
working
to
make
conservation
as
a
way
of
life
and
and
to
point
back
to
climate.
Smart
kind
of
The,
Good,
Life
2.0
is
to
do
that
in
a
way
that,
for
the
most
part,
people
don't
notice
the
impacts
and
I
think
we
can
do
a
lot
with
that.
U
B
Thank
you
for
the
questions
and
I
look
forward
to
a
lot
of
a
lot
more
water
conversations
if
this
is
out
of
our
purview,
but
I've
come
to
believe
that
the
biggest
impact
we
can
have
on
water
use
is
to
transition.
B
Our
friends
in
this
agriculture
sector
to
drip
irrigation,
I,
think
the
amount
of
water
that
we
waste
on
current
methods
of
watering
are
far
dwarf,
anything
that
we
can
do
locally
to
conserve
water
in
Santa
Clara
County,
although
there
are
some
agriculture
users
in
Santa,
Clara
County,
but
anyway,
just
something
on
the
top
of
my
mind
but
outside
the
scope
of
this
conversation
today.
Thank
you
for
the
the
update
on
climate,
smart.
B
As
I
said,
I
I
really
enjoy
this
topic
and
I
look
forward
to
a
lot
of
these
coming
actions
that
the
council
is
going
to
be
discussing
in
the
next
few
months,
particularly
the
creation
of
the
climate
commission
I
think
that'll
be
great
to
get
people
involved
in
brainstorming.
How
we
move
forward.
I
have
a
few
just
a
few
questions.
The
first
one
on
the
reach
codes.
I
know
we
were
supposed
to
have
a
conversation.
B
B
The
conclusion
that
had
been
made
was
that
the
cost
to
difference
between
having
EV
I
forget
the
terminology,
EV
ready
versus
EV
capable
right
was
minimal.
There
was
almost
no
not
much
difference
and
therefore
it
was
a
logical
thing
is
that
is
that
still
what's
in
the
conclusion,
or
has
it
been
a
change
and
that's?
Why
we're
having
more
conversations.
B
L
I,
don't
have
the
facts
off
the
top
of
my
head,
I,
don't
know
if
Kate
you
do.
A
M
So
the
one
piece
that
we're
looking
at,
based
on
just
input
that
we
received
from
the
community
was
this
concept
of
direct
wiring
and
that
does
increase
the
cost
slightly
over
the
current
reach
code.
And
so
that's
what's
in.
That
was
what
was
in
the
memo
that
was
posted
and
that
we're
going
back
to
talk
with
developers
about
actually
next
week
and
anticipate
a
supplemental
memo
before
the
May.
Q
Yeah
so
the
delay
is,
you
know,
developers
had
some
questions,
it
made
sense
to
pause
and
make
sure
we
heard
from
everybody
and,
and
everybody
heard
from
us
and
then
revise
as
needed
and
bring
it
back.
Yeah.
B
I
appreciate
that,
as
far
as
I
guess
kind
of
along
these
lines
about
funding
a
lot
of
this
stuff
in
the
fall,
we're
going
to
be
reaching
that
point
at
which
our
energy,
our
San
Jose,
clean
energy,
will
have
its
reserves
and
therefore
we'll
begin
to
start
being
able
to
invest
in
some
of
these
projects
from
some
other
types
of
funding
sources.
I,
guess
my
just
more
gen
basic
question!
Next
time
we
see
this
update,
we'll
be
about
the
same
time
around
six
months.
B
From
now,
will
we
be
able
to
see
some
some
recommendations
as
to
how
we
might
be
investing
San
Jose,
clean
energy
reserves
in
helping
us
move
the
needle
on
this
work.
T
In
the
fall,
we
will
not
have
reached
our
Reserve
Target
yet,
but
we
will
be
working
on
the
next
iteration
of
our
programs
roadmap,
which
will
be
due
to
tne
in
early
2024.
So
we
could
preview
some
things
we're
thinking
about,
but
it
will
be
fully
baked
in
early
2024
for
your
consideration.
B
Yeah
I'd
understood
that
that
we
were
going
to
reach
the
reserves
sometime
around
November.
So
that
means
we,
but
maybe
that's
changed
a
little
bit
since,
since
the
last
conversation
it
did
tip
I,
see.
U
You
no
no,
it
is
right
on
I,
think
it's
November
December
I
mean
it
all
depends
on
what
the
energy
markets
are,
and
so
the
the
ideas
will
be
working.
Those
program
recommendations
in
anticipation
of
that.
At
this
point,
as
Kate
said,
we
would
come
back
to
tne
with
your
to
get
your
direction
on
how
we
approach
that
program
in
the
January
February
March
time
frame.
We
can
shift
that
if,
if
that's
Direction,
it
needs
to
change,
but
that's
our
current
plan.
Okay,.
B
U
And
we
would
fold
the
actual
budget
change
into
the
budget
process.
It's
the
anticipation
at
this
point,
because
that's
we
don't
pull
out
those
funding
kind
of
considerations
separate
from
the
actual
budget
process,
so
we'd
bro.
We
would
fold
in
your
your
direction
on
the
from
the
program
guide
into
the
next
annual
budget
process.
Okay,.
B
Thank
you
and
then
the
last
question.
On
page
nine,
you
had
a
a
building
electrification
comment
about
I
think
we
said
I
forget,
number
40
buildings
or
something
that
is
that
are
whatever
the
number
was
on
the
slide.
What
what
does
that
mean?
Are?
Those
are
those
retrofits
of
existing
buildings?
Is
that
what
that
was.
T
I
believe
the
40
referred
to
businesses,
who
are
that
were
in
progress
for
being
served
by
our
energy
efficient
Business
program,
so
Energy
Efficiency
measures,
but
since
but
the
40
businesses
was
as
of
February,
but
as
of
last
month,
the
program
really
picked
up
and
they're
actually
125
businesses
in
process
of
being
served
mostly
with
a
refrigeration
upgrades.
B
B
It
will
be
yes,
I
guess
we
do.
I
J
Hi
Larry
Beekman,
thanks
for
the
meeting
today,
I
need
to
quickly
go
to
my
speech
here
with
the
recent
arrest
of
an
sjpoa
executive
manager
for
pharmaceutical
and
Fentanyl
importing
and
distribution.
J
There
are
many
good
guidelines
and
practices
for
that.
Everyday
people
of
individual
local
communities
can
can
begin
to
better
understand,
develop
and
decide
around
the
concepts
of
Human
Rights
civil
rights,
worker
rights,
civil
protections,
open,
participatory
democracy
and
public
oversight
in
the
local
area
and
their
local
area.
Oakland's,
love,
life
philosophy
and
and
Tech
accountability.
Ideas
are
two
examples
of
this.
J
It
is
the
current
hope
that
these
types
of
good
practices
can
be
developed
by
everyday
people
and
and
to
work
to
work
up
in
National
level,
eventually
collectively
to
help
create
concepts
of
peace
and
not
war
or
harm
and
there's
a
decision
making.
This
letter
is
to
help
remind
we
simply
have
guidelines
and
policies
developing
about
human
rights,
open
democracy,
accountability
and
public
oversight
that
we
need
to
learn
to
not
harm
everyday
community
in
the
future
of
policy
making.
J
And
from
this
we
should
also
be
clear,
making
clear
the
years
of
effort
in
San
Jose
and
the
more
recent
San
Jose
rips
efforts
to
create
Better,
Community,
Police
oversight
for
the
future
of
San
Jose
and
is
meant
to
help
address
and
prevent
issues.
