A
A
D
Here
we
are
my
apologies.
Yes,
we
are
getting
going
and
we're
going
to
jump
right
in.
We
have
three
quick
updates
on
the
agenda
today,
the
first
from
ken
roncy
at
vta,
with
the
east
ridge
to
bart
regional
connector
and
then
over
to
ramses
for
the
airport
connector,
and
then
I
will
do
a
quick
update
on
infrastructure
funding.
E
Great,
thank
you
very
much
jessica.
I
appreciate
that
once
again,
I'm
ken
ronci,
I'm
with
vta,
I'm
the
deputy
director
in
the
engineering
and
program
delivery
department,
and
I
have
just
a
very
brief
presentation
for
you
to
talk
about
the
east
ridge
to
bart
regional
connector
project.
So
first
slide.
Please.
E
So
provide
just
a
really
quick
overview
of
the
project
just
to
orient
the
the
group
here
about
the
project.
It's
a
two
and
a
half
mile
extension
of
light
rail
from
the
current
end
of
the
line
at
alum
rock
platform
to
the
east
ridge,
transit
center
uses
capital
expressway,
it's
an
aerial
guideway.
The
entire
stretch,
that's
important,
because
it's
done
that
way
to
maximize
light
rail
operations
and
to
minimize
the
impact
to
the
community.
E
E
What
that
means
is
that
we
should
be
ready
to
advertise
as
early
as
summer
2022
for
the
large
light
rail
construction
package
do
want
to
highlight
that
there
are
a
couple
requirements
for
funding
to
make
that
happen
most
significantly.
E
The
project
requires
130
million
dollars
of
rm3
funding
and,
as
the
city
is
probably
aware,
this
is
currently
in
being
challenged,
and
so
we
expect
to
hopefully
get
a
favorable
resolution
of
that,
but
we
will
not
be
able
to
advertise
until
that
becomes
proof.
So
I
just
want
to
highlight
that
I
also
wanted
to
highlight
an
important
thing
for
us
is
that
the
city
of
san
jose
is
helping
us
as
the
special
coordinator
for
our
artwork,
and
we
have
selected
artists
to
lead
the
campaign
for
ebrc
enhancement.
E
E
This
is
really
the
most
significant
part
of
the
project
activity.
Now
it's
the
utility
relocation-
and
this
slide
just
shows
a
quick
overview
to
orient
the
the
panel
here
about
what
is
the
scope
of
the
utility
work.
Their
two
colors
illustrate
two
different
types
of
utility
location.
The
red
is
the
salinity
of
clusters
of
regular
underground
engineering
that
we're
used
to
seeing,
but
the
blue
is
pretty
significant.
E
It
started
here
actually
in
november
december
time
frame.
The
polls
are
already
installed,
all
the
foundations
are
done
and
we're
getting
ready
now
to
move
some
of
the
wire.
That's
the
good
news.
The
bad
news
is,
and
you've
probably
heard
about
it.
There
was
some
tree
removal
because
of
this
relocation.
E
Pg
e
does
not
allow
any
trees
underneath
their
transmission
line,
so
we
did
remove
trees.
They
all
will
be
mitigated.
They
will
be
mitigated
in
the
area
within
a
half
a
mile
range
of
the
corridor
and
they'll
be
mitigated
into
an
increased
ratio,
so
more
trees
will
be
installed
than
were
taken
out,
but
I
did
want
to
highlight
that
that
we
did
have
to
take
out
some
trees
and
we
are
going
to
mitigate
that.
E
Another
major
activity
is
san,
jose.
Water
work
will
begin,
so
that's
an
underground
water
line,
mainly
at
the
area
of
story
and
capital
expressway
that
work
began
here
in
november
and
that
will
continue
for
several
months
and
then
there's
a
little
clusters
of
some
of
the
communications
and
electrical
and
gas
relocation.
That'll
start
mid-2022.
E
The
next
slide
shows
just
some
of
the
construction
activity
and
if
you
were
to
go
out
there
today,
these
holes
are
now
filled
in
with
concrete
and
poles
have
been
attached,
and
so
when
we
say
that
this
electrical
transmission
line
is
in
construction,
you'll
start
to
see
the
wires
being
moved
here
in
the
near
future,
and
this
is
good
news,
because
not
only
are
we
removing
a
conflict
with
the
light
rail
extension,
we
think
it's
a
beautification
project.
E
We
think
it
helps
the
communities
in
general,
it's
actually
taking
a
electrical
transmission
line
out
of
the
meeting
of
capital,
expressway,
moving
it
to
one
side
of
the
expressway,
the
east
side,
taking
out
the
lattice
columns,
these
big
lattice
towers
and
making
them
poles
so
on
it's
on
its
own.
It
even
has
a
value
so
we're
we're
happy
and
proud
about
that.
Next
slide.
E
So
the
other
thing
I
wanted
to
highlight
is
the
community
outreach.
We
are
doing
our
regular
outreach
activities,
but
I
wanted
to
highlight
this
last
bullet.
The
ebrc
project
does
have
a
stakeholder
working
group
swg
we
meet
every
other
month.
The
last
one
we
had
was
here
in
november,
and
we've
been
talking
about
things
with
that
group
like
what
is
the
traffic
impacts?
E
How
we're
mitigating
traffic
impacts
what's
required
to
build
the
project,
what
the
noise
and
vibration
impacts
are
and
how
we're
going
to
be
mitigating
and
monitoring
those
and
it's
been
a
very
valuable
group.
So
it's
about
12
members
from
the
community
they've
been
providing
good
input
and
it's
our
way
of
making
sure
that
we're
being
extremely
transparent
and
that
we're
getting
input
from
active
participants
in
the
community,
so
it
can
help
shape
our
our
work
and
how
we
communicate
to
the
community.
E
E
Item
there
that
that
dash
line
we're
going
to
be
paused,
like
I
said
before,
postured
and
ready
to
award
a
construction
sometime
next
year,
but
that
is
pending
rm3
funding
and
other
funding
availability
and
then
the
bottom
part
does
show
the
breakdown
of
the
different
funding
components
and,
as
you'll
note,
the
most
significant
outstanding
item
is
the
rm3
money.
E
And
then
there
is
some
other
funding
sources
in
the
tune
of
about
29
million
dollars
that
we
need
to
secure
as
well,
and
that,
with
that
in
place,
we'll
then
be
able
to
advertise
the
contract,
we're
hoping
as
soon
as
late
next
year.
Those
things
pending
approval.
E
D
Absolutely
thank
you
if
it
is
all
right
with
the
chair
and
the
committee,
we
are
going
to
go
straight
into
the
next
presentation
and
then
I'll
be
here
for
questions
all
right.
So
ramses.
C
All
right
excuse
me:
sharon
committee,
thanks
for
your
time,
ramses
madu,
division,
manager
of
planning
policy
and
sustainability
I'll
be
talking
about
the
san
jose
airport
connector
project.
C
I'm
sure
here
is
a
picture
that
comes
out
of
the
disc
processor,
the
sorry
yeah,
the
the
disc
processes,
the
duradon
integrated
station
concept
plan,
and
it
shows
the
airport
connector,
pin
there
just
right
off
santa
clara
street
across
from
sap
center
and
yeah
we're
we're
moving
forward
on
designing
this
part,
we're
not
designing
project,
getting
this
project
up
and
moving
particularly
the
procurement
process.
So
I'm
gonna
talk
about
going
to
talk
about
that
next
slide.
C
Please
so
situating
this
project
in
the
overall
goals
of
transportation
for
the
city,
as
you,
this
committee
in
particular,
has
been
following
we're
very
close
to
getting
the
access
and
mobility
plan
done,
which
is
the
citywide
transportation
plan.
This
plan
is
has
brought
together
all
of
the
various
goals
and
policies
from
the
city
around
transportation
and
boiled
them
down
to
these
nine
main
goals,
and
this
project
in
particular
fits
under
less
driving
access
for
all
enjoyable
transportation
plan
for
the
future
and
clean
the
air.
C
Among
other
things
as
well,
but
really
fits
incredibly
well
with,
where
we're
trying
to
go
from
a
larger
perspective
in
transportation.
Next
slide,
please:
in
the
axle
mobility
plan,
there
are
strategies
that
we're
trying
to
implement
or
will
be
proposing
to
implement
that
progress.
Those
goals
and
and
transit
is
a
huge
piece
of
that.
C
We
know
that
transit
is
going
to
need
to
take
a
much
larger
role
in
our
transportation
system,
and
so
this
project
fits
squarely
in
that
strategy.
11
of
transit
expansion
and
yeah
we're
hoping
to
see
it
all
go
through
next
slide,
please!
C
So
what
have
we
done
so
far?
Of
course,
this
project
was
brought
together
all
the
way
back
in
measure
a
it
was
the
the
number
two
most
popular
project
in
that
list
of
projects.
We've
been
fortunate
to
get
some
funding
from
it
to
progress.
The
project
from
there
since
2000
there's
been
a
host
of
alignment
and
technical
studies,
as
well
as
technology
studies
to
kind
of
figure
out
what
are
the
best.
What's
the
best,
the
location
for
the
route,
what
really
needs
to
be
connected
and
then
what
approaches?
C
Might
we
take
the
most
significant
and
this
conversation
is
the
2017
study
that
showed
that
a
link
between
the
airport
and
diridon
is
really
the
most
advantageous
in
terms
of
creating
ridership
and
and
connecting
as
much
of
our
transit
infrastructure
as
possible
and,
of
course,
with
bart
coming
all
the
light
rail
connections
that
are
there,
bus
connections
and
the
future
high-speed
rail?
C
Not
to
mention
caltrain?
It
really
shows
itself
office
as
the
most
viable
one.
So
taking
that
alignment
piece
and
some
earlier
suggestions
from
tech
studies,
the
city
went
out
in
2019
with
a
request
for
information
and
got
a
pretty
healthy
response
back
from
the
market
and
really
learned
that
new
transit
technologies
are
coming
and
are
just
about
ready
for
market.
C
And
so
we
brought
all
that
information
back
to
council
and
got
direction
to
explore
new
transit
technologies
and
business
options,
in
particular
to
look
for
a
way
to
allow
private
groups
to
come
in
and
play
a
bigger
role
in
transit,
and
so
with
that
direction
we
are
starting
to
develop
a
request
for
proposal.
C
One
thing
I
shouldn't
miss
is
this:
project
was
adopted
along
with
the
plan
bay
area
2050
a
couple
months
ago
and
does
have
a
500
million
dollar
tag
in
that
plan,
which
of
course,
isn't
real
money
until
something
can
fit
through
it.
But
it's
a
nice
big
pipe
that
we
can
go
hit,
federal
and
state
money
for
to
get
this
done,
and
so
we've
in
effect,
created
now
a
p3
model
to
approach
this
and
we're
currently
developing
the
request
for
proposals.
C
I'll
talk
about
that
a
little
bit
next
slide.
All
right,
we've
been
doing
a
lot
of
outreach
and
getting
the
news
out
there.
Of
course,
the
rfi
itself,
a
lot
of
press
releases
and
a
lot
of
media
coverage
has
also
happened
in
many
of
the
local,
both
news
and
video
press
and
I'll
say
at
the
bottom.
Here
we
say:
begin
public
outreach.
C
We've
actually
already
gone
through
a
round
of
public
outreach
to
get
out
there
and
and
get
folks
who
are
neighbors
to
the
to
the
potential
project,
and
by
that
I
mean
they're,
really
the
community
who
it
may
be
affected
by
this
positive
video
negatively,
as
well
as
all
the
land
holders,
so
talking
to
folks
like
google
and
sap
center
and
boston
properties
and
the
target
property,
and
all
these
things
that
could
be
along
the
alignment
here
and
we
also
had
a
very
successful
industry
day.
C
This
is
where
we
invite
all
those
who
may
be
interested
in
bidding
on
this
project.
We
had
over
150
people
show
up
there
and
we've
had
continuous
at
least
two
to
week,
two
a
week,
usually
more
meetings
with
potential
bidders
to
kind
of
get
the
get
some
good
group
thinking
going
around
how
to
make
that
work
next
slide,
please!
C
So
what
are
we
really
trying
to
accomplish
with
this
project?
Well,
this
project
really
started
from
from
a
larger
thesis
of
we
need
more
transit
and
to
get
more
transit.
We
need
to
find
ways
to
make
transit
development
cheaper
and
faster,
and
so
we're
really
trying
to
figure
out.
C
Not
only
you
know,
innovation
for
innovation's
sake
is
a
fool's
errand
right
and
that's
just
spending
money
for
no
reason
and
we're
really
trying
to
figure
out
how
do
we
use
technology,
innovation,
business
approach
and
project
management
approaches
to
significantly
reduce
project
development
costs?
C
Hopefully,
construction
costs,
o
m
costs
and
as
well
as
project
delivery
time
frame.
The
map
here
on
the
right
side
shows
two
areas,
one
highlighted
in
and
red
and
one
in
yellow.
These
are
our
search
spaces.
We
call
them.
This
is
where
the
eventual
route
will
be
found
within
we're,
not
trying
to
say
exactly
where
we'll
be
within
these
areas.
Just
yet
we'll
be
working
with
our
eventual
successful
bidder
to
get
into
that
next
slide,
please
so
yeah.
What
is
the
project
really?
C
What
are
we
really
going
to
get
into
the
main
portion
of
this
project?
Really?
Is
that
integration
of
durodon
and
the
airport
as
a
single
facility
from
the
passenger's
perspective?
C
This
means
we're
connecting
terminal
b
around
where
the
southwest
baggage
claim
is
down
to
diridon
station
somewhere.
C
In
that
search
space
map,
like
we
showed
a
minute
ago,
we
are
putting
an
option
in
there
for
inner
airport
connector
services,
so
this
would
get
us
out
to
the
parking
garage
terminal,
a
and
potentially
other
places
within
the
airport,
including
the
employee
buildings,
down
on
the
further
southern
end
of
the
strip,
and
then
we're
really
making
sure
that
the
technology
that
we
select
and
the
approach
we
select
is
not
so
specific
to
an
airport
that
it
couldn't
be
expanded
and
again
we're
really
interested
in
seeing
if
we
can
expand
this,
if,
if
we
can
show
that
we
can
do
transit
building
faster
and
cheaper,
we
really
hope
that
this
can
then
be
an
example
for
for
future
use
in
in
other
contexts,
in
particular
stevens
creek,
where
we've
also
been
successful
in
in
getting
some
attention
and
plan
bay
area
2050.
C
C
It's
a
design,
build
finance,
operate
and
maintain
a
contract.
In
essence,
we
will
be
franchising,
the
right
to
run
a
service,
and
so
this
is
really
about
a
long-term
partner
who
will
be
able
to
hold
on
to
this
project
and
run
it
for
a
extended
period
of
time.
You
know
we're
thinking
two
to
three
decades
is:
is
roughly
the
time
frame.
C
If
not
longer,
we
really
want
to
be
the
right
public
sector
partner,
so
we're
doing
a
lot
of
work
in
terms
of
how
we
structure
our
approach
to
the
project
in
terms
of
project
management
in
terms
of
information
making
everything
as
open
as
possible.
If
you
check
out
the
project
website,
you
can
see
everything
all
all
of
our
public
outreach
meetings
are
recorded
and
posted,
including
the
ones
before
the
big
one.
C
We
did
with
developers
I'm
putting
as
much
information
out
there
as
possible,
but
also
setting
ourselves
up
to
be
able
to
help
shepherd
this
project
without
undue
burden
from
our
end
and
then
really
want
to
leverage
the
favorable
conditions
that
are
happening
right
now,
right
with
2030
pledge
for
zero
emissions
from
the
city
to
the
federal
infrastructure,
investment
and
jobs,
act
to
state
focus
on
transit
and
multimodalism.
C
All
all
signs
are
pointing
in
a
certain
direction
that
could
really
favor
this
project.
So
we
really
want
to
use
all
of
that
next
slide,
please.
C
So
our
anticipated
delivery
model
we're
going
to
a
request
for
proposal
early
next
year
and
that
will
be
for
a
plan,
a
pre-development
agreement.
So
this
is
a
little
bit
different
than
we're
used
to
in
the
city
of
san
jose.
C
What
we'll
be
doing
is
bringing
in
the
private
partner
at
the
very
beginning
of
the
project,
and
we
will
in
essence
take
that
search
map
and
the
parameters
that
council
and
the
public
give
us
and
say:
let's
develop
this
project
now,
and
the
point
of
this
is:
it
gives
us
a
great
leg
up
in
terms
of
designing
and
developing
the
project
with
those
who
are
actually
going
to
be
building
it
from
day
one
versus
a
lot
of
what
happens
in
the
public
sector,
project
development,
where
we
design
and
and
and
estimate
costs,
and
all
of
that
before
we
really
get
into
some
of
the
deeper
elements
that
we
need
to
know.
C
To
really
do
that
so
really
excited
about
that.
What's
also
great
about
this
is
that
we
bring
in
all
of
that
know-how
all
that
innovation.
That's
happening
out
there
right
into
the
project
definition
and
it
transfers
a
lot
of
the
risk
that
usually
the
public
takes
over
to
the
private
sector,
and
so
we're
really
fashioned
in
this
different
way.
You'll
we'll
see
early
next
year,
we
will
be
bringing
ordinance
to
council
for
your
consideration
that
will
authorize
this
form
of
procurement.
C
It
is
not
totally
clear
if
our
current
procurement
rules
allow
it
so
we're
going
to
make
sure
it's
all
buttoned
up,
and
so
you
all
can
consider
it
at
that
point
and,
of
course,
most
importantly,
we're
also
trying
to
minimize
public
funding.
We
do
expect
a
you
know,
a
good
amount
of
public
funding,
but
nowhere
near
the
total
cost
of
the
project,
as
well
as
as
well
as
the
kind
of
overall
level
of
cost
for
the
project
should
be
going
down
next
slide.
C
Please
all
right,
quick
schedule
here.
We
are
very
quickly
developing
this
rfp.
We
expect
to
release
it
quarter,
one
next
year,
calendar
quarter
one
next
year,
we'll
be
then
selecting
preferred
bidders
in
quarter
two
and
then
bring
to
counsel
our
recommendation
of
the
top
two
bidders
at
that
point.
C
If,
if
we
feel
like
there's
two
that
that
really
are
the
top
there's
one
there's
one,
that's
fine,
we
can
come
back
with
one,
but
we're
expecting
two
we'll
then
spend
three
to
six
months.
Doing
some
deeper
validation
of
those
top
two
and
then
expect
to
select
a
final
firm,
probably
by
the
end
of
next
year,
and
at
that
point
we'll
enter
into
an
18
to
24
month,
design
and
environmental
sprint
to
get
this
all
up
ready
and
going
next
slide.
Please.
D
All
right,
thank
you
very
much,
francis
both
ramses
and
ken
have
mentioned
just
how
important
funding
is
to
the
success
of
these
projects.
D
First
and
we'll
spend
the
most
time
on
the
infrastructure,
investment
and
jobs
act,
because
that
just
passed
and
there's
a
lot
of
information
out
there
about
how
we
can
make
the
most
of
that
and
then
we
hope
the
buildback
better
act
comes
into
play.
We
know
that
at
the
state
level
we've
had
a
significant
historic
climate
package,
that's
starting
to
take
shape
that
was
approved
last
year
and
we
hope
for
a
similar
transportation
package
in
the
coming
year.
D
So
with
that,
the
infrastructure,
investment
and
jobs
act
was
signed
into
law
by
president
biden
on
november
15th.
So
just
just
less
than
a
month
ago,
this
authorizes
over
a
trillion
dollars
in
spending
over
five
years,
and
nearly
half
of
that
is
actually
new
spending.
I'll
take
take
a
moment
on
that.
There
are
different
infrastructure
provisions
within
this
bill:
transportation,
water,
energy,
broadband
recycling.
D
All
of
these
different
elements
are
put
together.
The
surface
transportation
portions,
however,
are
the
biggest
and
they
build
upon.
What
is
a
typical
five-year
surface
transportation
investment
program,
the
previous
surface
transportation
bill
was
the
fast
act
and
so
in
the
coming,
slides
you'll
see
a
few
different
comparisons
to
how
the
funding
levels
across
different
programs
compare
in
this
new
bill
as
compared
to
the
fast
act.
D
So,
first
up
we're
going
to
take
a
look
at
some
of
the
components:
the
surface
transportation,
components
that
are
existing
programs
that
are
getting
more
funding
as
a
result
of
the
infrastructure,
investment
and
jobs
act.
I'm
not
going
to
go
through
all
these,
but
what's
important
to
know
precisely
is
that
these
types
of
programs
exist
that
they
in
many
cases,
are
significant
growth
in
resources
for
this
type
of
work
than
the
previous
ones.
D
And
the
other
thing
to
note.
That's
really
helpful
in
this
information
that
our
colleagues
at
holland
and
knight
helped
put
together
is
that
these
programs,
the
existing
ones
and
the
new
ones
some
of
them,
are
by
formula
to
things
like
the
metropolitan
transportation,
commission
or
the
mpo
metropolitan
planning
organization.
D
We
apply
for
all
of
these
fundings
as
a
city,
so
that's
probably
something
I'll
say
at
least
three
times
during
this
presentation,
because
it
is
very
important
for
our
strategy
about
how
we
approach
this
funding,
but
you'll
see
that
there's
money
in
here
for
active
transportation.
D
There's
money
in
here
for
safety,
there's
money
that
comprises
our
congestion
management
programs
from
the
federal
government
money
here
for
freight
and
highway
programs
through
the
infra
program
and
there's
also
competitive
programs
like
the
the
raise
grants
that
build
upon
what
we
formerly
knew
as
either
tiger
or
build
money.
So
those
are
some
of
the
existing
programs.
D
D
You
know
directly
to
our
colleagues
in
dc,
as
well
as
through
our
lobbyists,
to
try
to
shape
these
programs
in
ways
that
they
really
match
up
with
our
priorities,
as
a
city
only
call
attention
to
the
safe
streets
and
roads
for
all
grant
program,
because
this
is
the
first
time
that
we've
seen
the
federal
government
invest
in
vision,
zero
improvement.
So
that's
very
exciting
to
see
again
you'll
see
things
like
local
governments
eligible.
That
means
we
are
eligible
to
compete,
so
we
definitely
are
looking
forward
to
those
opportunities
and
we'll
be
pursuing
them.
D
There
is
also
a
fair
bit
of
new
and
renewed
emphasis
on
bridges,
which
is
terrific
news
for
us
and
for
many
jurisdictions
who
have
been
trying
to
prioritize
and
keep
our
bridges
in
in
reasonable
repair,
without
a
lot
of
federal
support
so
between
the
formula
programs
that
we
will
apply
to
the
state
for
funding
for
or
some
new
competitive
grant
programs
that
we
can
apply
directly
to
the
federal
government
for
there's
a
real
opportunity
to
make
meaningful
progress
on
the
bridges
that
have
not
been
maintained
to
their
full
potential
in
recent
years.
D
All
right
with
that,
I'm
going
to
move
forward
to
the
key
transit
provisions.
Of
course,
we
will
not
be
applying
directly
for
these,
but
it's
very
important
for
our
priorities,
especially
working
with
with
vta
and
others
throughout
the
region,
caltrain,
etc.
The
capital
investment
grant
program
is
going
to
grow
significantly
through
the
infrastructure,
investment
and
jobs
act.
D
You
can
see
there's
at
least
eight
billion
over
five
years
and
up
to
a
potential
15
billion
to
the
capital
investment
grant
program
and
then
a
fair
bit
of
money
to
really
modernize
and
keep
up
in
a
state
of
good
repair
and
electrify.
The
transit
rolling
stock
that
vta
and
others
have
within
their
fleets.
D
Also
on
the
federal
fund.
The
buildback
better
act
continues
to
work
its
way
through
the
federal
government.
We
probably
all
know
that
on
november
19th
it
did
pass
the
house
at
the
level
of
nearly
1.8
trillion
dollars.
It
then
goes
to
the
senate,
but
it
is
expected
that,
after
that,
the
changes
will
be
significant
enough,
that
it
will
have
to
go
back
to
the
house
before
going
to
the
president.
So
we're
aware
that
the
deliberations
are
happening
and
that
there
is
an
attempt
to
make
a
big
push
before
the
holidays.
D
This
does
focus
on
healthcare,
child
care
and
family
care,
and
the
climate
crisis
within
that
here
are
a
few
of
the
key
transportation
and
infrastructure
provisions
that
we're
monitoring,
dedicated
funding
that
can
be
used
for
passenger
rail
and,
specifically,
high-speed
rail,
an
affordable
housing
access
that
pairs
up,
transit
and
housing
in
a
really
innovative
and
promising
way,
funding
for
zero
emission
vehicles
and
their
charging
climate
incentive,
grant
programs,
neighborhood
access
and
equity
and
a
new
economic
development
administration
investment
in
innovation
hubs.
D
D
A
lot
of
this
goes
toward
our
wildfire
and
forest
resilience
needs
as
well
as
towards
agriculture
and
drought,
resistance,
water
and
drought,
resistance,
the
climate
resilience
portion
and
the
zero
emission
vehicles
are
the
portions
with
the
most
transportation
direct
impact,
so
I'll
focus
on
those
which
is
a
key
transportation.
Related
programs
that
we're
talking
about
includes
zero
emission
across
the
type
of
of
infrastructure.
We
need
transit,
rail
school
bus
programs,
cars
trucks
and
other
off-road
transportation
vehicles.
D
Much
more
investment
in
what
has
been
called
the
transformative
climate
communities
grant
program
which
san
jose
is
eligible
for
again
in
the
current
round
of
funding,
coming
up
a
focus
on
urban
greening
within
some
of
these
programs,
regional
planning,
especially
for
adaptation
and
resilience
and
protection
against
sea
level
rise.
D
So
a
lot
of
this
is
really
still
taking
shape
at
the
state
level
and
we're
working
with
colleagues
at
the
strategic
growth
council
in
the
office
of
planning
and
research,
among
others,
to
try
to
help
determine
how
these
funding
can
best
be
spent,
especially
quickly,
given
the
urgency
around
climate
needs
and
last
but
not
least,
last
year
in
2021,
governor
newsom
proposed
an
11
billion
dollar
transportation
package
and
that
included
about
4.2
billion
for
high-speed
rail.
D
That's
the
final
voter
authorized
proposition
1a
funding
for
high-speed
rail,
another
2.1
billion
and
fix
it
first
or
state
of
good
repair,
funding
for
highways,
roads
and
bridges,
2
billion
for
transit
and
rail
connectivity,
another
half
billion
or
500
million
for
grade
separation
and
safety
projects.
D
Another
half
billion
for
active
transportation
and
nearly
2
billion
for
zero
emission
vehicles
again
across
the
transit
rail
track
spectrum.
Really
importantly,
3.3
billion
of
this
was
one
time.
General
fund
money
and
typically
transportation
does
not
get
state
general
fund
money.
So
that's
a
very
unique
opportunity
that
we
had
with
that
and
given
that
the
state
is
projecting
over
30
billion
dollar
surplus,
the
last
we
heard
we
are
humbly
requesting
of
the
governor
with
our
colleagues
in
other
transportation
departments
and
agencies
throughout
the
state
that
within
2022
this
package
moved
forward.
D
It
was
not
advanced
through
some
disagreements
at
the
legislature
and
so
we're
really
focusing
in
on
4.2
billion.
D
Against
statewide
and
at
least
a
billion
dedicated
to
transportation
related
climate
adaptation,
and
so
that
is
our
asca
that
we
put
forward
with
with
mtc
vta,
caltrain
etc
just
earlier
this
month,
and
we're
really
continuing
to
try
to
connect
with
folks
at
the
legislature,
as
well
as
the
governor's
office,
to
advance
that
as
soon
as
possible
next
year,
so
that
is
about
it.
These
are
just
key
takeaways.
First
and
foremost,
if
you
remember
nothing
else
from
these
slides,
it
is
that
we
as
a
city,
need
to
plan
for
competitive
grant
opportunities.
D
D
D
These
are
multi-year
investment
packages
and
we
also
need
to
meet
in
advance
of
any
grant
applications
with
state
and
federal
represent
representatives,
starting
first
with
talking
with
them
about
what
the
guidelines
should
be
for
these
programs.
So
that
is
the
end
of
this
update
from
the
three
of
us
on
two
important
projects
and
how
we
might
fund
them
and
others-
and
we
are
here
for
your
questions.
A
F
Hi
blair
beekman
here
happy
monday.
Thanks
for
the
presentation,
you
know
the
the
state
and
federal
funding
that
was
described
here.
It's
a
lot.
It
covers
a
lot
of
things.
A
lot
people
can
talk
about
a
lot
of
issues
on
it.
F
It's
nice
that
we're
getting
all
this
general
funding
at
this
time,
going
into
federal
from
federal
sources
going
into
state
general
funds
at
this
time.
I
hope
that
federal
funding
can
eventually
land
in
you
know:
infrastructure,
budgeting
of
state
of
california
things
and
that
way
that
gives
us
security
and
a
long-term
insurance
to
for
for
good
practices
to
continue.
F
That's
my
feeling
about
the
east
side
projects
that
that
can
do
some
awesome
work
with
renewable
energy
ideas
and
local
procurement
that's
coming
up
and
that
you're
you're
you're
you're
starting
the
charging
station
issues
for
electric
buses
on
the
east
side
as
well.
Good
luck
with
it
with
the
east
side,
projects
that
you'll
be
doing
and
and
the
rail
system
the
airport
line
connector
to
the
from
deardon
to
the
airport.
F
That
could
use
av
technology
and
it
actually
may
be
a
better
way
to
use
avian
technology
leave
the
light
rail
things
alone,
so
we
can
concentrate
and
practice
and
return
to
our
good
practices
and
possibly
work
towards
a
centralized
system
in
the
future
of
the
light
rail
with
30
seconds
boy.
I
I
just
need
to
apologize.
I've
been
speaking
for
over
a
year
now
about
about
a
year
about
what
can
be.
How
do
we
prepare
for
a
possible
upcoming
earthquake
in
2023?
F
I'm
really
sorry,
if
I'm
wrong
with
such
questions,
but
I
hope
it
can
help
prepare
you
either
way
and
that
you
know
we
just
have
to.
We
have
to
be
ready
how
to
plan
for
this
next
year
compared
to
the
next
few
years.
Thanks
a
lot.
A
G
Good
afternoon,
chair
davis,
members
of
the
committee,
my
name
is
eric
schoenauer.
I
represent
a
number
of
development
projects
in
the
city
as
early
as
february
of
this
year.
As
part
of
these
quarterly
updates
on
regional
transportation,
the
department
of
transportation
would
provide
a
a
written
status
report
on
major
infrastructure
projects.
G
Is
that
we
request
that
that
written
status
report
continue
to
be
prepared
and
and
provided
to
the
council
and
to
the
public.
The
reason
being
is
that
the
major
infrastructure
projects
happen
over
seven
to
ten
years,
and
if
we
don't
keep
the
staff
the
council
and
especially
caltrans,
focused
on
implementing
these
projects.
They
sometimes
go
by
the
wayside
and
get
delayed.
G
So
we
request
that
a
quarterly
or
twice
a
year,
written
status
report
come
forward
to
council
and
that
the
major
projects
that
I'm
talking
about
are,
for
example,
the
us
101
berryessa
interchange
project.
We
cannot
achieve
a
major
job
center
at
the
berryessa
bart
station
unless
the
freeway
interchange
gets
built
by
2027
and
since
no
there
was
no
mention
of
it.
Today
we
don't
know
if
that
project
is
on
track
or
not.
G
The
the
101
zanker
4th
street
over
crossing
is
critical
to
relieve
congestion
on
the
first
street
corridor,
north
and
south
of
101,
and
facilitate
development
in
north
first
street
and
then
lastly,
the
I-280
winchester
off-ramp
is
critical
for
the
development
of
the
santana
row
valley,
fair
urban
village.
So
these
key
projects,
along
with
the
bart
extension,
should
be
in
a
written
status
report
twice
a
year.
H
Yeah
paul
setter
from
the
horseshoe
I
gotta
tell
you
and
you
know
I've
never
pulled
a
bunch.
I
mean
I've
been
quite
honest
with
the
with
this
council.
H
I
don't
think
there's
there's
there's
any
other
way
to
be,
and
there
is
a
definite
conflict
of
interest
having
the
mayor
of
the
city
who
has
who
has
authority
and
exercises
authority,
okay
and
the
two
council
members
that
strategically
are
in
district
3
district
5,
okay
and
those
are
the
two
districts
that
were
absolutely
necessary
in
order
to
facilitate
to
make
this
work,
and
those
are
the
two
carrasco
and
paralysis
and
lucardo
that
were
in
on
that
nondisclosure
agreement.
So
when
that
happened,
all
of
these
projects
were
talked
about.
H
I
don't
care
if
they
were
in
place
or
in
motion
10
years
before
that's
not
a
relevant
point.
What
is
a
relevant
point
is
that
whatever
plans
there
were,
those
were
amended
the
minute
that
that
sign.
That
agreement
was
signed,
those
plans,
whatever
they
were,
were
amended,
and
these
were
the
plans
that
were
set
in
place
now.
H
One
of
the
things
that
I'd
like
to
make
clear
is
that
an
an
equity
lens
was
absolutely
applied,
because
we
all
know
that
the
the
freeway
infrastructure
here
in
san
jose
680
101.,
remember,
remember
the
chevy
impala
up
there
remember,
remember
the
homeboy
put
a
chevy
impala
up
on
a
101
because
it
wasn't
built
okay.
Well,
there
was
an
equity
lens
because
they
understood
that
that
money
absolutely
needed
to
go
to
the
varios
that
were
most
impacted
by
those
policies
two
generations
ago.
Now
this
is
fact
this
is
not
opinion.
I
Hi
yeah
yeah,
you
know
you're
going
to
get
all
this
money,
that's
going
to
rain
down
from
the
federal
government
from
uncle
joe,
and
I
can't
imagine
how
fast
it's
going
to
run
out
and
how
fast
you're
going
to
have
to
raise
taxes,
because
you're
not
going
to
be
able
to
maintain
what
you
have
or
what
you
think
you're
going
to
build.
We
should
have
been
built
well
a
long
time
ago,
but
you
guys
didn't.
Do
it
all
right
or
your
your
people
before
you
actually
say
didn't
do
it
and
I
don't
think
you.
I
I
It's
really
out
of
san
jose's
week
because
you
guys
don't
know
how
to
really
do
anything.
Just
take
a
look
around
plywood
city,
but
if
you
really
want
something
to
work,
just
have
buses
run
from
the
airport
to
the
downtown,
like
most
normal
cities
do
in
europe.
But
you
guys
don't
do
that.
You
guys
think
you're
going
to
be
like
europe,
but
you're.
Not
you
guys
are
more
like
I
don't
know
social
really
bad
socialist
europe,
where
you
know
everything's,
gray
and
dreary
sported
up
you're
not
going
to
be
able
to
do
it.
I
You
don't
have
the
patience
or
the
expertise
to
do
that
and
if
you
just
think,
you're
going
to
get
a
bunch
of
money
from
the
feds
you're
going
to
need
a
lot
more
in
the
future,
and
it's
only
going
to
come
from
the
taxpayer
and
it's
going
to
not
be
very
good.
And
it's
going
to
be
super
expensive
to
use
this,
this
unicorn
mass
transit,
you
already
have
bus
lines,
just
get
them
going
doing
from
the
downtown.
You
guys
want
this
little
light
rail
like
you're
in
switzerland.
Look
it
sucks
there.
I
A
Okay,
well,
my
colleagues
are
gathering
their
thoughts.
I
just
wanted
to
ask
one
question:
jess,
thank
you
for
all
the
updates,
but
especially
the
legis,
the
legislative
update.
A
Is
there
a
timeline
for
the
state
infrastructure
package,
the
state
transportation
package,
I'm
since
the
2021
didn't
pass
and
there's
a
pre
the
project,
the
projections
always
change
between
january
and
june,
and
so
I'm
wondering
what
the
timeline
is
for
that
package
likely
to
be.
D
That's
a
great
question
so
when
that
did
not
come
together
before
the
end
of
the
2021
legislative
cycle,
folks
in
sacramento
somewhat
put
down
kind
of
put
down
their
pencils
for
a
while
on
it.
But
we
are
aware
that
there
have
been
some
meetings
picking
back
up,
including
some
that
we've
had
and
some
correspondents
from
southern
california
or
mtc,
aimed
at
kind.
J
D
Setting
the
stage
for
these
talks
over
the
last
month,
so
those
conversations
are
happening
and
we
hope
that
there
is
a
public
discussion
and
a
package
put
out
there
in
the
january
time
frame.
D
It's
not
completely
clear
at
this
point
from
our
lobbyists
in
sacramento,
whether
that
will
be
just
kind
of
part
of
the
whole
state
budget
package
or
whether
it
will
be
put
forward
separately
before
that
we
can
keep
you
posted
thanks,
yeah.
A
Okay
and
then
in
terms
of
the
the
federal.
A
The
federal
legislation,
what
is
it
looking
like
on
the
the
case
that
already
passed
in
terms
of
so
not
the
build
back
better,
but
the
infrastructure,
whatever
it's.
B
A
Job
zack,
thank
you.
So
you
talked
about
these
individual
programs.
Are
these
programs
that
they're
they
look
like
they're
generally
funding
existing
programs?
So
are
the
requirements
known
already
or
what's
the
timeline
for
those
for
actually
getting
that
money
in
and,
and
you
had
talked
about,
you
know
whether
the
city
applies
or
whether
our
partners
apply
yeah
yeah.
K
D
K
D
Yep
good
question,
so
there
are
a
chunk
of
the
programs
that
that
have
exact
already
existed,
that
are
existing
programs.
That
may
have
some
modifications
and
often
have
more
funding
available,
but
they
are
largely
established,
and
so
that's
one
bucket,
and
then
there
are.
There
is
a
new
bucket
of
programs
that
are
proposed
for
the
first
time,
and
there
are,
we
can
think
of
them
as
on
somewhat
separate
tracks
kind
of
to
your
question
and
the
the
first
ones,
the
one
that
have
already
existed,
they
typically
will
get
out
of
the
gate.
D
Faster
they'll
propose
their
changes,
or
you
know
in
the
case
of
some,
for
example,
the
the
federal
highway
administration
fhwa
has
put
out
a
request
for
information
already
last
week,
saying
by
january,
2nd.
Please
tell
us
what
you
think
about
these
programs
that
are
existing
programs
that
have
been
modified
and
added
to
in
the
infrastructure
and
investment
jobs
act,
so
we'll
be
reviewing
those
this
month
and
providing
our
comments
before
january
2nd.
D
So
it's
just
one
example:
the
electric
vehicle
related
provisions,
those
are
also
out
in
a
similar
format,
to
say,
here's
what
has
been
allowed
for.
Tell
us
what
you
think
tell
us
what
you
would
change.
You
know.
People
across
the
country
will
be
submitting
comments
on
those
to
try
to
shape
those
before
they're
finalized.
D
Then
the
the
new
programs
start
from
an
earlier
space
right
and
so
that
those
are
the
ones
that
we
really
want
to
get
in
on
the
ground
level
in
terms
of
what
is
eligible,
what
meets
our
needs
and
how
the
provisions
are
shaped
so
we're
working
on
those,
but
those
will
typically
come
a
little
bit
after
and
then
you
asked
about
coordinating
with
our
partners
right.
Some
of
these
funds,
mtc
will
will
control
right.
D
They
will
be
delegated
to
the
mtc
level,
metropolitan
transportation
commission
for
our
region,
and
then
mtc
will
typically
have
a
competitive
distribution
to
those.
Some
funds
will
flow
to
our
transit
operators
like
vta,
for
state
of
good
repair
and
other
needs
like
that,
and
so
those
will
also
flow
to
them
and
we'll
coordinate
continue
to
coordinate
us
as
we
do,
but
somewhat
on
steroids.
Given
the
additional
funding
available
with
our
partners
to
to
figure
out
how
to
support
each
other
as
we
apply
for
these
grant
opportunities.
A
Okay,
thank
you
and
to
the
mayor's
question.
Last
tuesday.
I
think
it
was
are.
Do
you
have
a
list
of
projects
from
all
of
our
partners,
including
caltrain
electrification,
since
we
just
had
a
special
meeting
about
that
this
morning,
including
caltrain,
electrification
and
bart
phase,
two,
it
sounds
like
the
eastridge
connector
also
is
in
need
of
some
additional
funding.
A
D
We
do
already
have
somewhat
of
a
list
that
we
would
be
happy
to
provide
it's
of
course,
public
aimed
first
at
that
those
state
opportunities,
because
that
is
so
rare
and
so
potentially
impactful
as
flexible
funding.
So
that
list
of
state
priorities
does
include
the
bart
silicon
valley
project,
the
caltrain
electrification
project.
D
It
includes
at
diridon
station.
We
also
have
been
working
with
vta
to
make
sure
that,
in
the
the
work
that
mtc
and
vta
have
pulled
together,
that
the
east
ridge
to
bart
regional
connector
is
also
highlighted
as
a
project.
That's
ready
to
go,
but
for
that
regional
measure,
3
or
rm3
money
that
it's
waiting
for.
So
those
those
are
exactly
the
types
of
things
that
are
put
out
there
and
that
we've
been
sharing
with
our
delegation
in
sacramento
and
we're
putting
together
an
analogous
version
for
the
federal
government.
A
Knowledge,
okay
and
then
the
you
had
mentioned
grace
separations
a
couple
of
times,
so
I
just
want
to
check
in
on
that.
Are
there
I'm
trying
to
remember
I'm
thinking
there
are
five
great
separation
projects.
Is
that
right
in
the
city
of
san
jose
that
we're
looking
for
so
three
in
the
south
and
two
up
in
my
in
my
area
where
we
have
virginia
and
I've
been.
A
A
D
Your
memory
is
exactly
correct
that
we
have
five
high
priority
grade
separation
projects
along
the
caltrain
and
union
pacific
future
high-speed
rail
alignment.
I
would
only
add
that
we
do
also
have
projects
along
other
rail
corridors
that
help
with
both
safety
and
noise.
That's
been
a
clear
priority
for
obvious
reasons
of
late,
but
those
could
include
things
along.
All
of
the
worm
springs
corridor
right,
which
includes
district
4
district
3
into
the
edge
of
district
6.,
and
it
could
include
the
vesona
corridor
as
well
shared
union,
pacific
and
and
vta
light
rail
corridor.
A
So
for
the
the
ones
that
you
just
mentioned:
fusona
warm
springs,
etc.
Those
would
be
for
safety
improvements
like
quad
gates,
that
kind
of
stuff,
as
opposed
to
actual
grade
separations.
Am
I
right
about
that
correct,
okay,
and
are
we
engaging
with
our
partners,
including
caltrain
and
high-speed
rail,
on
the
five
grade
separations?
A
We
we.
D
Are
so
the
last
week
we
submitted
a
grant
application
actually
for
one
of
those
existing
programs
which
in
future
years,
will
be
getting
more
money
based
on
the
infrastructure,
investment
job
act
and
that
what
we
submitted
was
funding
to
get
us
through
environmental
clearance
if
we're
awarded
it
for
the
three
grade.
D
Separation
projects
along
the
monterey
corridor
at
chenoweth,
skyway
and
branham,
and
the
reason
that
we
applied
for
those
three
is
because
they
are
distinct
from
and
could
then
move
in
parallel
with
the
deirdon
station
project,
which
includes
the
ozare
and
virginia
great
separation.
So,
together,
if
we
are
successful
in
that
grant
application,
we
could
move
those
forward
and
our
partners
at
high
speed,
rail
and
caltrain
both
supported
our
request
for
funding,
which
we
very
much
it.
A
A
A
L
L
A
You
thank
you
and
before
we
move
on
to
the
next
item,
I
did
want
to
address
the
the
issue
about
the
the
written
reports
jessica.
Did
you
did
you
want
to
talk
about
that?
I
think
we've
gone
to
we're
going
to
semi-annual
written
reports.
Is
that
right
and
we're
doing
a
verbal
update
every
other
time
so.
D
A
Thank
you
yeah,
and
I
think
it
so
you're
going
to
bring
items
to
us
as
there
are
changes
and
pertinent
updates,
and
so
that's
that's
fine
with
me.
I
I
think
the
the
less
time
we
spend
on
report
writing
the
more
time
we
can
spend
on
going
out
getting
those
getting
those
grants
that
we
need
to
get.
A
Thank
you,
and
if
anybody
wants
an
update
on
specific
items,
they
can
always
write
in
to
either
me
as
the
chair
or
the
department
of
transportation.
I
know
jessica
keeps
track
of
all
this
stuff
at
all
times
and
or
the
pertinent
council
member
whose
district
has
that
project.
So
please
feel
free
to
do
that
for
the
next
item.
D2
major
local
transportation
planning
report,
I
think,
is
ramsey's
kicking
this
one
off.
C
Yeah
hi
hi,
again
ramses
madhu,
division
manager,
planning
policy
and
sustainability
for
dot,
and
I'm
going
to
be
discussing
a
little
bit
of
our
transportation
planning
efforts
or
actually
my
team
will
just
do
a
quick
intro
here.
All
right
make
sure
I
share
things
right
first,
so,
as
you
heard
from
jessica,
the
need
to
plan
our
projects
is,
you
know
it's
always
been
really
important
and
has
gotten
that
much
more
important.
C
It
is
what
allows
us
to
build
things
it
has
allowed
us
well
allows
us
to
go,
get
grants,
it's
what
allows
us
to
to
see
what
we
might
want
to
do
in
the
future,
and
so
our
group
does
that
for
transportation
in
the
city,
and
we
do
keep
a
compendium
of
all
of
the
ongoing
efforts
in
our
report
every
six
months
to
you,
that
is
in
our
written
report,
but
we
do
focus
usually
on
one
or
two
efforts
in
the
presentation
and
today
we're
going
to
be
talking
about
the
downtown
transportation
plan,
as
well
as
our
emerging
mobility
plan,
and
all
that
questions
will
be
at
the
end.
C
And
those
questions,
of
course,
can
be
on
the
presentation
or
on
the
on
the
further
report,
and
with
that
I'm
going
to
pass
it
off
to
wilson
tam,
who
will
be
discussing
the
downtown
transportation
plan
wilson.
M
Thank
you
ramsay's
and
good
afternoon,
chair
and
committee
wilson,
tam,
a
transportation
planning
manager
at
dot,
and
I
am
joined
by
eric
island
station
planning
manager
for
this
presentation.
M
So
we
will
be
talking
about
the
status
update
of
the
downtown
transportation
plan.
This
is
a
two-year
effort
for
developing
the
transportation
plan.
The
last
time
we
developed
this
transmission
plan
for
the
downtown
area
was
in
2003,
which
is
shortly
after
the
original
downtown
strategy.
2000
was
adopted
and
by
that
time
the
scope
of
that
transmission
plan
for
downtown
was
to
address
congestion
management
program
requirements.
M
Since
that
time,
a
lot
of
things
happened
in
downtown,
including
the
update
of
the
general
plan
adopted
in
2011,
and
we
also
have
various
goals
in
the
city
in
terms
of
addressing
mobility
and
climate
sustainability,
and
so
there
is
a
need
to
update
the
scope
of
the
downtown
plan
to
look
at
over
the
next
20
years,
which
is
the
horizon
year
of
the
general
plan
2040..
M
What
kinds
of
transportation
improvements
can
be
done
in
the
downtown
area
to
support
the
significant
growth
in
downtown
and
also
the
other
major
transit
infrastructure
investment
that
have
been
made.
Thus
far
and
thank
you
ramses
for
running
the
presentation,
while
I'm
speaking
so,
this
slide
is
about
the
expected
growth
for
the
downtown
over
the
next
20
years.
The
pie
chart
sorry,
the
bar,
the
histogram
on
the
right
side
gives
us
the
population
number
for
2019
versus
2040..
M
We
expect
to
see
at
least
double
the
number
of
people
that
will
be
living
working
and
visiting
downtown
in
the
next
20
years,
and
so
that
would
mean
that
congestion
would
be
a
very
important
thing
to
address,
and
so,
in
order
for
us
to
tackle
that
it's
important
for
us
to
look
at
not
only
the
downtown
core
per
se
but
kind
of
looking
at
the
broader
area
of
the
downtown
area.
M
So
if
you
look
at
the
map
on
the
left
side,
you'll
see
that
the
downtown
core
in
the
middle,
but
then
the
study
boundary
for
this
is
actually
much
beyond
which
includes
the
university
and
the
east
side.
The
japan
town
on
the
north
side,
the
willow
keys
area
in
the
south
side
and
the
diorama
station
area
on
the
left
side.
M
So
this
is
the
two-year
effort
that
started
in
early
2020
and
we
have
strategically
worked
with
the
department
of
planning
building
career
enforcement
on
on
the
deodorant
station
area
plan
as
the
first
step
of
the
process.
So
we
have
spent
a
bit
of
time
working
with
pbce
on
developing
transportation
projects
in
the
durham
area
and
also
supporting
the
downtown
west
development
proposal
in
the
early
part
of
the
process.
M
And
now,
as
the
dual
station
area
plan
and
the
downtown
west
projects
have
been
adopted,
we
have
now
shifted
gears
to
look
at
the
rest
of
this
downtown
study
area.
So
we
are
now
roughly
three
quarters
way
in
the
prep
planning
process
and-
and
we
have
worked
with
three
cbo
or
community
based
organizations,
chopstick
early
prosperity,
lab
and
walk
san
jose
to
conduct
our
engagement
activities,
and
we
have
done
a
lot
of
things.
M
Over
the
past
year,
we
have
developed
the
community
values
and
desires
and
goals
which
I'm
going
to
talk
about
in
a
bit,
and
we
have
also
worked
with
the
cbo
partner
and
the
stakeholders
to
develop
strategies,
and
we
are
now
in
the
point
where
we
will
be
proposing
these
strategies
to
the
public
in
the
form
of
an
online
open
house
which
I'm
going
to
speak
a
little
bit
about
in
the
in
the
later
part
of
the
presentation,
and
the
goal
is
to
wrap
up
the
proposal,
with
privatization,
cost
estimates
and
implementation
plan
for
next
year
with
the
goal
of
completing
the
work
and
also
bringing
the
entire
downtown
transmission
plan
for
council
for
consideration
roughly
june
2022
and
by
the
way.
M
This
is
the
project
that
is
funded
by
caltrans
and
yeah
and
and
the
the
purpose
of
this
plan
is
really
about
leveraging
the
major
transit
investment
that
have
happened
to
date.
For
example,
we
have
heard
in
the
early
part
of
the
presentation
about
the
deardos,
integrated
station
concept,
plan
or
disc.
M
We
have
the
downtown
west
proposal
and
also
by
silicon
valley,
extension
phase.
Two-
and
you
know
we
have
done
some
analysis
showing
that
you
know
in
order
for
us
to
leverage
or
maximize
the
potential
brought
forth
by
these
major
investments.
We
need
to
plan
out
the
rest
of
the
downtown
plan
or
the
downtown
area
in
ways
that
can
facilitate
active
transportation
activities,
improving
or
increasing
the
number
of
transit
riders,
bicycles
and
pedestrians
walking
in
and
around
downtown.
M
M
They
would
like
to
see
safer
access
to
their
destination.
They
would
like
to
see
more
street
life
and
more
ground
floor
retail.
We
have
also
heard
about
santa
clara
street
being
the
most
popular,
but
also
the
most
infamous
street
in
the
city
or
sorry
in
the
downtown
area.
In
terms
of
you
know
the
street
being
the
major
transit
corridor,
but
have
not
been
designed
to
function
as
one.
M
So
there
are
many
comments
about
how
about
the
desire
to
re-envision
santa
clara
street
and
plan
for
the
street
to
leverage
the
major
transit
improvement
or
investment
that
will
happen
in
the
next
20
years.
We
also
heard
loud
and
clear
about
the
barriers
that
the
existing
freeway
ramps
has
proposed
or
has
imposed
to
to
the
community
in
terms
of
the
community
being
able
to
walk
across
the
freeway
interchange
between
both
sides
of
the
freeway
and
and
and
biking
along
it.
M
M
If
you
will-
and
they
are
named
people
first,
meaning
the
this
plan
is
really
about
addressing
people
and
putting
people
in
the
forefront
of
everything
placemaking
how
to
activate
the
space
to
to
make
downtown
the
place
where
people
would
enjoy
going
to
and
living
in
also
promote
climate
sustainability,
promote
economy,
development,
which
is
very
important
and
also
equity,
especially
since
the
majority
of
the
equity
focus
areas
are
located
in
the
east
side
of
the
downtown
area.
M
How
can
we
ensure
that
the
proposals
from
this
plan
is
going
to
benefit,
especially
those
who
have
historically
been
underserved
in
the
east
side
of
downtown?
And
if
there
is
one
number
that
you
would
like
to
take
away
from
this
presentation,
it
will
be
50.
So
we
would
like
to.
M
We
have
done
some
analysis
and
in
order
to
support
the
climate,
smart
goals
and
also
the
community
desires
in
downtown
area,
we
would
really
like
to
see
the
number
or
the
proportion
of
the
downtown
trips
being
made
by
walking
biking
and
taking
transit
at
15
at
50
today.
That
number
is
roughly
about
10,
so
we
we
really
want
to
increase
that
number
by
five
votes
to
about
to
55
and
the
remaining
of
the
50
will
be
made
by
driving
alone
and
also
carpooling,
etc.
M
So
this
so
this
is
I'm
not
going
to
spend
too
much
time
into
explaining
each
of
these
things,
but
there
are
four
categories
of
proposals
that
will
be
made
in
this
plan
and
we
will
be
spending
spending
the
next
few
slides
talking
about
the
first
two
categories,
namely
the
baking
moves
and
the
street
network.
M
And
we
would
like
to
highlight
a
couple
of
big
moves
that
we
have
worked
with
our
stakeholders
to
define,
and
one
of
the
big
moves
is
about
revisiting
or
re-envisioning
santa
clara
street.
This
is
a
picture
of
santa
clara
stream
many
years
ago,
and
it's
important
to
to
to
know
that.
M
How
can
we
reconfigure
the
street
and
the
space
for
santa
clara
street
to
allow
for
something
that
actually
happened
in
the
past,
such
as
like,
more
outdoor
dining,
wider
sidewalks
and
how
to
make
santa
clara
street
as
a
main
street
in
downtown
where
people
would
love
being
in
and
instead
of
using
the
street
for
people
to
drive
past
through?
Our
studies
showed
that
there
is
a
huge
proportion
of
the
vehicles.
Traffic
on
santa
clara
street
are
actually
passing
through
downtown.
They
are
not
ending
in
downtown
by
any
means
of
of
stretch.
M
So
so
so
this
has
been.
Santa
cruz
has
been
used
as
the
pass-through
corridor.
And
how
can
we
redesign
santa
clara
street
to
take
advantage
of
the
transit
investment
that
have
been
put
and
will
be
put
in
the
street
and
try
to
activate
the
area
and
also
make
santa
clara
street
safer
and
santa
clara
street,
as
the
stretch
of
that
street
will
be
between
the
dildos
station
on
the
west
side
and
101
on
the
east
side?.
M
Another
big
move
idea
that
we
would
like
to
highlight
here
is
addressing
one
of
the
major
community
desires,
freeway
barriers
that
I
just
talked
about
briefly
in
the
previous
slide,
and
so
this
is
the
figure
presented
to
us
by
spur.
M
They
have
done
a
study
two
years
ago
about
how
to
activate
at
the
downtown
area,
and
they
have
recommended
several
proposals
in
the
downtown
area,
including
the
demolishment
of
87,
and
how
to
take
advantage
of
the
space
created
by
the
87
space
to
create
an
active
space
for
the
downtown
area,
and
this
is
something
that
the
downtown
pen
is
going
to
consider
and,
and
also.
M
M
And
how
can
we
address
these
barriers
by
potentially
consolidating
some
of
the
freeway
ramps
at
280
into
full
interchanges
at
key
locations
so
that
we
can
preserve
the
valuable
space
for
the
other
modes
for
the
downtown
area?
M
M
This
downtown
transmission
plan
aims
to
identify
the
direction
that
the
city
would
like
to
pursue
in
the
future,
and,
and
so
we
expect
that,
like
the
downtown
plan,
is
going
to
set
forth
a
direction
for
the
city
to
pursue
subsequent
planning,
design
and
engineering,
and
so
that,
like
in
the
case
of
infrastructure
bills
and
other
great
opportunities
when
they
arise,
we
can
use
this
plan
as
our
leverage
to
get
these.
These
projects
further
studied
plan
designed
and
constructed.
M
This
is
the
map
that
we
we
talked
about,
the
big
moves
thus
far,
and
we
would
like
to
design
the
rest
of
the
downtown
streets
to
support
these
big
investments
right
and
so
this
is
a
map
called
the
street
network
and
we
identify
each
of
the
streets
in
downtown
as
or
to
define
a
priority
or
a
function
for
each
of
the
streets
in
downtown.
M
So
the
purpose
of
this
map
is
to
redesign
each
of
the
streets
in
downtown
to
have
a
purpose,
so
easter
should
have
a
purpose
to
serve
and
the
streets
should
be
redesigned
to
prioritize
and
balance
the
various
needs
of
diverse
street
users,
and
so
we
have
in
the
general
plan.
We
have
the
what
we
call
the
street
topology,
and
so
this
is
to
expand
that
concept
to
identify
key
routes
for
different
uses
of
the
streets,
such
as
the
transit
corridors,
bike,
corridors,
walking,
corridors,
paseo,
closed
streets
and
vehicle
and
delivery
corridors.
M
It's
important
it's
interesting
to
highlight
that
we
have
identified
it
or
proposed
various
spaces
or
various
street
segments
that
we
may
consider
to
temporarily
closed
to
vehicles
for
festivals
and
event
purposes,
and
there
are
street
segments
that
may
be
proposed
to
permit
to
be
permanently
closed
for
vehicles,
especially
street
segments
that
do
not
have
much
many
driveways
or
many
access
to
the
buildings
and
and
also
we
can
leverage
some
of
these
street
segments
once
they
are
fully
closest
to
vehicles
to
activate
the
space,
provide
more
ground
floor,
retail
to
make
a
full
and
balanced
transportation
network.
M
It's
also
important
to
highlight,
as
a
last
point
here,
that
we
you,
if
you
can
see
some
of
the
process
along
280.
These
represent
the
proposed
ramp
closures.
So
we
have
280
ramps
at
first
fourth,
street
sixth
and
second
streets.
The
idea
here
is
to
if
we
can
find
a
way
to
kind
of
consolidate
these
ramps
into
full
interchanges
at
three
key
locations
such
as
bird
avenue,
abundant
vine
and
10th
and
11th
street.
M
So
we
have
then
have
three
interchanges
along
280
so
that
we
can
preserve
the
rest
of
the
streets
for
supporting
the
street
network
as
shown
here
and
with
that
I'm
going
to
pass
it
along
to
ramses,
who
would
be
working
with
laura
for
the
immersion
mobility
action
plan,
presentation.
C
K
Next
slide,
please.
So
what
is
the
emerging
mobility
plan?
Is
this?
In
short,
it's
a
subset
of
the
access
and
mobility
plan.
The
purpose
of
that
plan
is
to
determine
how
the
city
can
achieve
its
ambitious
transportation
and
environmental
goals,
including
dramatically
increasing
the
proportion
of
trips
we
take
by
walking
biking
and
shared
mobility
from
24
today
to
60
by
2040.
K
The
purpose
of
the
emerging
mobility
action
plan
is
to
determine
how
the
city
might
use
new
transportation
services
and
technologies
to
help
it
realize
its
goals
that
include
services
that
are
currently
available,
such
as
ride
hailing
on-demand
shuttles,
car
sharing,
shared
bikes
and
scooters,
as
well
as
those
on
the
horizon,
such
as
aerial
and
ground,
based
delivery,
drones
and
those
eventually
transporting
humans,
automated
car
sharing
and
ride.
Hailing
and
automated
shuttles.
K
K
K
They
educated
us
challenged
us
and
invited
us
into
conversations
with
their
communities,
which
included
families,
seniors
and
youth,
lgbtq
people
and
people
with
disabilities.
More
information
about
the
task
force
is
available
at
movesan
jose.org,
but
one
of
the
most
important
things
we
did
was
listen
next
slide.
K
It
was
quickly
apparent
that
other
issues
were
far
more
urgent
for
them
and
their
communities
issues
like
affordable
housing
and
displacement,
access
to
health
care,
environmental
justice
and
public
safety,
among
others,
so
task
force.
Members
thought
transportation
was
important,
particularly
public
transit,
but
they
said,
assembly
doesn't
work
for
a
lot
of
people,
buses
don't
go
where
they
need
to
go
or
when
they
need
to
get
there.
They
run
too
infrequently
they
cost
too
much.
K
For
these
reasons
and
others,
emerging
mobility
seemed
irrelevant.
They
said
these
services
were
too
expensive,
didn't
meet
their
needs,
such
as
transporting
groceries
or
children,
or
they
face
other
barriers.
They
may
have
a
smartphone
or
credit
card
or
driver's
license,
all
of
which
are
required
to
use
these
services.
Information
is
typically
offered
in
english.
Sometimes,
vietnam
used
in
spanish.
Many
more
languages
are
spoken
in
san
jose.
K
K
The
first
is
tailoring
services
to
create
mobility
options
and
programs
that
are
tailored
to
seniors
and
working
families
with
kids.
Next
is
making
it
easy
to
pay
creating
easy
to
access
payment
systems
that
could
include
things
like
pay
stations
or
partnerships
with
local
businesses
and
refillable
smart
cards
that
can
be
used
across
mobility
providers.
Next
slide.
K
Five
is
workforce
training,
establishing
workforce
development
programs
to
connect
low-income
residents
and
youth
to
emerging
mobility-related
job
opportunities,
particularly
when
those
are
well-paid
and
have
the
potential
for
future
growth.
Establishing
local
hire
requirements
for
emerging
mobility
companies
targeting
underserved
communities
next
slide.
K
Many
san
jose
residents,
particularly
our
more
disadvantaged
communities,
need
more
reliable,
useful
and
affordable
mobility
options.
We
heard
interest
in
options
that
could
meet
a
broader
variety
of
needs,
such
as
those
shown
on
this
slide,
on-demand
shuttles
and
adult
tricycles,
electric
vehicles
and
electric
cargo
bikes
and
community
designed
and
operated
ride
sharing
services,
but
we
have
to
address
the
barriers
to
entry
that
prevents
many
in
our
communities
from
using
existing
and
new
services
and
consequently
accessing
resources
and
opportunities
they
need
and
deserve
next
slide.
H
Okay,
can
you
hear
me?
Yes,
yes,
okay,
cool!
Thank
you!
Thank
you,
paul
from
the
horseshoe
equity
being
centered
within
these
infrastructure
projects.
H
from
2016
to
now.
That's
what's
been
happening,
this
pipeline
cash
and
so
the
legitimacy
when
defining
equity,
to
go
to
those
organizations
and
say
that
what
they're
saying
is
legitimate
when
their
whole
position
is
compromised
because
they
have
been
accepting
cash
from
the
city
okay.
So
so
why
don't
you
get
someone
like
me,
someone
that
has
absolutely
no
profit
motive.
I
do
not
make
a
dime
nothing.
Okay,
all
I
care
about
is
that
justice
be
done,
and
that
has
not
happened
yet.
H
So
it's
a
mockery
to
to
include
equity
inside
here,
like
you
guys,
are
doing
like
someone
like
me,
a
favor.
I'm
a
chicano
and
I
don't
I
don't
like
being
called
the
low-income
people
I
mean
with
I
mean
listen
to
this
stuff.
This
is
dehumanizing
language.
I
mean
listen
to
it,
underserved
community.
No!
No!
No!
I
was
graciously
deprived
of
resources.

F
Hi,
laura
beekman
here
paul
just
said
that
really
nice,
you
know,
and
it's
like,
we
have
to
make
up,
and
I
try
to
make
up
nice
words
to
say
what
paul
just
very
nicely
said:
council
person
carrasco
has
been
working
very
much.
What
can
be
a
full
avenue
corridor,
all
along
alum
rock
from
google
village,
all
the
way
up
to
alan
rock
park
itself
in
the
future
and
what?
What
can
be
an
avenue?
What
can
be
a
promenade
for
ourselves?
And
this?
This
item
stops
at
the
101
and
talks
about
technology.
F
Now
I
was
about
to
go
into
my
usual
speech
about
the
importance
of
what
open
public
policies
can
do
for
the
future
of
this
project
and
the
sense
of
equity
and
equality
it
can
bring
to
this
project
where
all
sides
can
come
to
the
table
and
negotiate.
What
are
our
good
practices
with
technology
that
is
open
public
policies?
That's
where
we
can
all
hash
out
our
differences,
share
agreements
and
understandings
and
and
that's
our
community.
That's
that's
it's
just
a
model
of
how
we
build
the
future
of
our
community.
F
Yet
what
paul
is
saying?
I
mean
it's
kind
of
a
it's
a
bit
of
a
rip-off.
It's
a
bit
of
a
scam
you're,
going
to
be
dumping
in
a
ton
of
surveillance
technology
into
all
of
this.
We're
now
supposed
to
accept
a
ton
of
new
surveillance
technology
on
the
east
side
and
say
this
is
progress
you
know,
so
I
don't
know
what
to
do.
It's
it's!
F
It's
pretty
tough,
but
I'm
giving
you
the
tools
that
I
think
open
public
policies
can
way
help
your
questions
of
what
exactly
can
be
equity
and
it
really
defines
it
well
and
you're
going
to
have
to
be
considering
it
with
all
the
new
technology
you're
placing
here,
and
I
would
like
to
talk
further
about
these
sort
of
issues
that
open
forum
and
and
the
use
of
law
enforcement
and
vision,
zero,
open
public
policies
again
help
with
these
things.
A
lot
thanks.
I
Adult
tricycles
did
I
hear
that
right,
adult
tricycles:
do
they
come
with
adult
diapers
too,
in
the
back?
Who
knows
right,
adult
tricycle
and
these
scooters?
These
scooters
are
an
eyesore
people,
dump
them
in
the
street.
So
you
can't
park
your
car
you're
gonna,
rely
on
scooters,
adult
tricycles
and
wait
wait
the
buses
some
buses,
some
main
thoroughfares,
don't
even
have
a
bus
line
and
all
of
a
sudden,
these
bus
lines
are
gonna,
appear
and
light
rail
I
mean.
I
Are
we
gonna
have
a
little
street
car
like
new
orleans,
ding
ding,
ding,
ding
ding
going
up
and
down
no
you're,
not
you're,
not
you!
People
are
going
to
get
a
lot
of
money
for
this
light
rail
thing
and
it's
not
going
to
work
caltrain
not
going
to
work
worst
train
in
the
world
and
right
now
we're
going
through
this
coven
situation
where
somebody
might
get
a
cold
or
the
snipples
and
all
of
a
sudden
man.
I
We
got
to
have
vaccine
papers
and-
and
you
know,
negative
covid
tests
and
all
this
is
how
are
people
going
to
go
on
mass
transit
when
they
have
a
boy
in
the
plastic
bubble,
mentality,
they're
going
to
have
to
wear
a
mask
and
they're
going
to
be
masked
police?
I
can't
wait
to
see
this,
so
how
are
you
going
to
dump
all
this
money
into
public
transit
when
people
are
not
going
to
be
probably
using
it
for
the
next
decade?
I
If
we
keep
making
a
big
deal
about
the
snipples
right,
somebody
might
get
a
little
cold
or
something
and
all
of
a
sudden,
oh,
no
we're
going
to
shut
everything
down,
got
a
word
triple
mask
and
a
face
shield.
It's
a
joke!
All
this
thing,
you're
talking
about
with
the
mass
transit
I'll,
tell
you
what
I
can't
wait
to
see
the
adult
tricycles.
I
just
hope
that
they
they
have
adult
diapers
in
there
just
in
case
they
have
an
accident.
I
L
I,
for
one
think
an
adult
tricycle
is
an
awesome
idea.
I
can
carry
my
groceries
in
the
back.
I
can
go
for
a
ride
and
feel
somewhat
stable,
but
I
do
have
some
questions.
Thank
you
for
that.
That
report
laura.
I
have
some
questions
for
you
regarding
your
report.
Specifically,
it's
called
the
access
and
mobility
report
and
I'm
I'm
getting
a
little
hung
up
on
the
term
access
and
mobility,
because
when
I
think
of
access
and
mobility,
I
think
of
our
disability
community
community.
L
So
you
talked
a
lot
about
reaching
out
using
the
equity
lens,
which
is
great,
and
you
showed
a
lot
of
pictures
of
scooters
and
things
like
that.
But
I
don't
see
my
seniors
in
wheelchairs
or
who
have
access
issues
or
who
have
visibility,
vision,
impairment
or
hearing
impairment,
accessing
mass
transit
or
using
those
tools
that
that
you
highlighted.
So
how
are
we
reaching
out?
How
are
we
engaging
the
members
of
the
disability
community
to
make
sure
that,
when
we're
talking
about
accessibility,
we're
including
them.
C
C
Yeah
well
yeah,
so
access
the
access
and
mobility
plan
is
the
citywide
transportation
plan.
The
access
and
mobility
plan
was
coming
from
the
perspective
of
access,
meaning
people's
ability
to
reach
the
things
they
need
to
get
to,
and
mobility
being
the
the
ways
to
do
that
right.
We
will
be
releasing
what
is
currently
called
the
actual
mobility
plan
under
a
different
name
called
move
san
jose
so
that
we
don't
confuse
people
as
much.
C
That
being
said,
we
are
also
making
sure
to
reach
out
to
the
the
the
disabilities
community
and
we'll
be
hosting
along
with
your
office.
Actually,
a
workshop
specifically
focused
on
how
to
bring
the
access
to
mobility
plan
in
looking
at
it
through
the
lens
of
the
disabilities
community,
making
sure
that
we've
done
that
we've
actually
already
updated
the
goals,
and
all
of
that
in
that
plan,
to
reflect
that
now.
The
emerging
mobility
plan
is
what
laura
is
doing,
and
that
is
just
a
different
thing.
C
That's
specifically
looking
at
new
market
trends
and
trying
to
figure
out
how
to
make
those
more
equitable
and
actually
serve
the
public
good.
K
And
council
member
lily,
I
think
that
you're
right
on
mark
that's
exactly
what
we
heard
from
the
communities
that
you
did
speak
to
people
in
the
community
disability
community
and
we
talked
to
people
who
work
with
people
in
the
disability
community
and
they
raise
the
fact
that
these
scooters
do
not
serve
their
needs
and
that's
what
we're
trying
to
make
to
get
across
is
that
the
services
that
are
there
now
don't
serve
a
lot
of
people.
They
also
are
not
accessible
to
them,
even
if
they
could
serve
them.
K
L
So
I
I
in
going
through
the
report,
I
knew
that
you
weren't
talking
about
wheelchair
access
and
that,
but
it's
the
nomenclature,
as
as
ramsay
said,
if
we're
looking
at
the
office
of
disability
affairs
and
we're
continually
referring
to
accessibility,
then
we
need
to
change
the
dialogue
at
this
level
to
something
else
and
if
it's
move
move
whatever,
whatever
you
called
it,
that
that
makes
sense
talking
about
the
scooters
and
the
delivery
drones
and
things
like
that
or
robotics.
L
I'm
really
concerned
about
those,
as
it
relates
to
our
seniors,
access
on
the
streets
if
they're,
if
they
have
a
visual
in
a
visual
impairment,
if
they're
shoot.
If
they're
like
me-
and
I
was
walking
around
with
a
a
broken
kneecap
knee
for
a
long
time,
I'm
walking
with
a
cane
and
I
see
a
scooter
nearby,
it's
gonna
be
difficult
for
me
or
they're.
Gonna.
Go
zipping
past
me
and
I'm
gonna
get
nervous
same
thing
with
the
little
the
robotics
that
are
being
delivered.
L
So
as
we
come
to
grips
with
current
technology,
we
need
to
make
sure
that
old
is
okay,
too
old
technology
is
okay
to
restoring
the
street
to
santa
clara.
I
loved
kind
of
the
look
of
going
back
to
where
we
were
wilson
is
taking
a
look
at
what
that
street
looked
like
so
many
years
ago
and
how
it
was
actually
a
lot
more
accessible
for
dr
for
people
who
wanted
to
just
wander
around
and
explore
the
city.
L
So
I
I
love
the
direction
we're
going
there
just
want
to
keep
out
the
front
of
the
front
of
mind
that
we
have
a
population
of
disabled
folks
who
are
see
not
just
senior
citizens
but
have
a
hard
time
getting
around,
and
we
need
to
help
them
get
around
too,
because
they
are
the
ones
who
are
probably
not
driving,
they
probably
are
using
mass
transit
and,
if
you're,
coming
from
district
9.
That
is
not
the
easiest
thing
to
do
to
mass
tran
use
mass
transit
to
get
to
downtown.
L
So
with
with
that
I'm
finished
chair,
I
will
move
that
we
accept
the
item.
N
N
N
C
I'll
say
just
a
quick
thing
and
then
please
add
laura
if
I'm
missing
anything
so
one
we
are
most
certainly
going
to
be
looking
back
at
the
ev
program
and
trying
to
figure
out
exactly
what
the
best
approach
is.
We
do
have
an
electric
mobility
action
plan
that
council
did
adopt
and
we've
been
working
from
that,
and
that
is
part
of
that.
We
are
asking
for
for
more
resources
to
be
able
to
do
that.
C
We
currently
don't
have
enough
staff
to
to
to
kind
of
implement
a
lot
of
this,
so
that'll
be
coming
forward
too,
but
we
do
have
seen
traction
with
that
program
and
would
like
to
see
more
attention
paid
to
that.
Okay,.
N
Great,
I
I
saw
this
week
or
last
week.
I
guess
it
was
a
study
about
the
wall
street
journal
published
you
might
have
seen
it
about
kind
of
showing
now
that
having
an
ev
for
100
000
miles
is
actually
cheaper
than
having
a
gas-powered
vehicle.
There's
now
data
pretty
good
study.
In
fact
it
if
you
charge
at
home
it's
certainly
cheaper.
N
If
you
charge
in
public
charging
stations,
filling
can
be
more
expensive,
but
all
the,
but
if
you
factor
in
all
the
maintenance
savings
that
electric
vehicles
have
it's
still
cheaper,
but
california
is
the
exception
on
the
gas
ev
trade-off
as
well.
So
it's
clearly
in
this
area
because
of
higher
gas
prices
less
expensive
to
own
an
ev
than
it
is
to
own
a
gas
vehicle.
I
think
that's
something
people
don't
know,
don't
understand,
and
I
just
wanted
to.
N
D
That's
very
true,
I
think
we
agree
there,
jessica,
zanck,
deputy
director
for
dot,
laura
and
and
her
one
person
team
have
on.
This
item
have
also
been
doing
some.
Some
financial
counseling
services
partnering
with
with
local
agencies
who
are
already
working
with
with
folks
who
don't
believe
that
they
could
afford
an
ev
with
that
in
mind,
actually
that
they
probably
could,
if
they
had
the
right
information.
N
Great,
thank
you.
I
noticed,
and
it
mentioned
that
there
was
a
comment
in
the
report
about
in
order
to
lower
the
cost
of
to
maintain
and
operate
the
60
public
charging
stations,
shifting
downtown
charges
to
pg
e's
rate.
Is
there
a
reason
we
can't
use
san
jose
clean
energy
for
those?
It's
just
that
it's
a
little
more
expensive
now
and
we
we
feel
it's
better
to
be
on
pg
e.
Can
you
talk
about
that?
A
little
bit.
N
So
we'll
be
using
it's
just
about
the
rate,
but
we're
using
san
jose
clean
energy
sources
to
power
them.
Okay,
okay,
that
wasn't
clear.
Thank
you
is
there
any,
I
think,
probably
there's
plan
at
some
point,
but
in
the
part
of
these
area
plans
is
light.
Rail,
great
separation,
part
of
the
future
planning.
C
Yeah
absolutely
in
multiple
ways
actually-
and
I
think
that's
a
really
interesting
topic
to
bring
up
as
part
of
the
plan
bay
area
2050.
That
was
just
recently
adopted
that
we
brought
up
earlier
a
light
rail
grade
separation
through
downtown
as
well
as
most
of
north
1st
street
was
also
adopted,
and
so
we're
actually
working
with
vta.
C
We
almost
got
a
joint
application
together
to
do
the
the
vta
sorry,
the
north
first
street
portion
planning
this
round,
but
we're
going
to
look
for
it
next
round
and
so
about
nine
months
to
a
year
from
now,
we're
going
to
start
looking
for
planning
money
for
that
and
then
the
downtown
piece
kind
of
coming
off
the
end
of
the
downtown
plan.
We'd
start
digging
into
that
yeah.
N
Yeah
great,
that's
good
news,
because
I
I
think,
in
order
to
get
the
usage
level
to
where
you
want
it
to
be
we're
going
to
need
to
speed
it
up,
and
that's
one
way
to
do
it
obviously,
and
also
it's
better
for
traffic
flow
across
it
as
well.
As
you
know,
the
other
ques,
I
guess
sort
of
related
question
are
we?
Is
there
a
program
for
signal
preemption
for
buses
and
light
rails,
light
rail
lines.
C
So
yeah,
that's
a
great
thing
to
bring
up
there.
There
is
san
jose,
has
two
forms
of
or
three
forms,
but
really
two
ways
of
doing
preemption
for
vehicles,
one
is
at
the
signal
and
and
that
can
either
be
preemption
or
meaning,
always
green.
C
Whenever
a
vehicle
comes
or
or
getting
extended,
green
and
stuff,
like
that,
giving
chan
more
likely
greens
to
transit
vehicles,
but
we're
now
experimenting
with
what
we
do
with
the
fire
vehicles:
emergency
vehicles,
which
have
green
no
matter
what
right
and
that's
a
centralized
system.
So
there
you
get
the
on
the
vehicle.
You
get
basically
a
gps
signal
that
goes
back
to
our
central
center
traffic
control
center,
which
then
gives
them
a
green.
C
And
so,
if
you
actually,
if
you
drive
a
fire
truck
through
the
city
with
the
lights
on,
you
get
a
green,
the
entire
way,
and
so
we're
looking
at
how
to
do
that.
We're
also
working
on
the
transit
first
policy,
where
we'll
be
clearly
outlining
where
and
when
these
kinds
of
treatments
are
appropriate
and
we're
really
excited
to
bring
that
to.
C
Along
with
the
now
move,
san
jose
plan
or
access
mobility
plan,
and
those
things
will
be
coming
together
to
for
your
consideration-
probably
early
second
quarter
next
year,.
N
Great,
thank
you
and,
and
you,
since
you
mentioned
me,
driving
a
fire
truck
I'd
love
to
have
that
opportunity.
The
in
the
downtown
plan
is,
is
their
discussion
about
parking
way
finding
and
some
kind
of
technology
there
to
help
people
get
where
they're
going
faster
and
off
the
road
wilson.
M
Yes,
we
did
not
talk
about
the
programming
side
of
the
downtown
transmission
plan,
so
we
are
thinking
about
ways
to
facilitate
parking,
especially
since,
if
we,
if
the
street
network
is
going
to
be
prioritizing
for
different
types
of
users,
we
really
want
people
who
would
continue
to
drive
and
exit
the
freeways
to
have
an
easy
way
to
find
their
parking
instead
of
circling
around
the
downtown
streets
just
to
find
an
available
parking
space
on
the
street,
and
so
how
can
we
infatuate
the
the
the
program
to
facilitate
parking?
M
Is
one
of
the
strategies
being
considered
and
technology
is
going
to
get
us
there?
We
have
the
park
san
jose
program
already
today,
so
how
can
we
bring
in
more
technology
and
more
trip
planning
tools
to
help
people
navigate?
The
parking
system
is
something
that
we
are
like
we
would
like
to
to
pursue
and
in
terms
of
the
implementation
of
it.
Obviously,
we
would
like
to
see
how
we
can
get
the
funding
we
need
to
to
fund
a
lot
of
these
expensive
programs.
M
So
I
know
that,
like
all
of
us
are
talking
about
various
plans
and
policies.
So
if
you
don't
like
to
to
also
bear
with
another
policy
that
we
are
working
on
right
now,
so
we
have
the
parking
and
tdm
policy
that
is
being
led
by
pbce
and
also
collect
by
us.
So
we
are
looking
at
programs
like
this
to
evacuate
how
to
bring
in
more
parking
and
tdm
solutions
in
the
city,
especially
including
the
downtown
area,
with
a
hopefully
an
expanded
parking
system.

J
Hi
good
afternoon
hi,
my
name
is
matthew
nguyen
I'm
a
deputy
director
for
transportation
and
hydraulic
services,
division
in
public
works
and
with
me
today
I
see
in
the
panel
we
have
jennifer's
again
with
dlt.
J
So
a
quick
introduction
on
the
collection
system
that
we
have
in
the
city
for
the
storm
sewer
system.
J
We
have
over
1
000
miles
of
pipelines
in
the
city
and
the
storm
sewer
system
is
designed
in
a
way
that
storm
water
will
be
collected
through
a
series
of
curb
and
gutter
and
inlet,
and
it
will
go
through
a
system
of
pipelines
and
eventually
will
end
up
being
discharged
into
the
surrounding
water
bodies
through
the
outflows
and
in
some
areas
where
we
have
low
ground
elevation,
then
we'll
have
to
have
a
pump
station
to
lift
that
water
up
and
pump
it
over
the
the
levy.
J
About
the
storm
sewer
key
initiative,
we
focus
on
the
storm
water
quality
and,
as
you
know,
this
in
early
2016,
the
water
war
issue
a
permit
that
required
all
of
the
duration
and
cd
counties
in
the
bay
area
to
improve
the
water
quality
before
discharging
into
the
surrounding
water
bodies
and
and
that
permit
is
now
up
for
renewal.
So
we
are
looking
at
another
permit,
a
new
permit
coming
up
in
june
next
year,
and
with
with
that
permit,
it's
likely
the
city
will
have
to
implement
and
deliver
more
projects
relate
to
clean
water.
J
So
we'll
talk
a
little
bit
more
about
those
projects
in
the
next
slides
and
also
in
a
parallel
effort.
We
also
focus
on
the
master
planning
where
we,
you
know,
do
the
capacity
modeling
assess
the
condition
and
capacity
of
the
system
and
try
to
make
sure
that
we
have
enough
capacity
for
existing
condition
as
well
as
future
development,
and
also
we
focus
on
improvement
and
rehabilitation
of
our
existing
system,
make
sure
we
we
can
maximize
the
lifetime
and
the
service
of
those
systems.
J
J
So
this
project
we
will
convert
the
existing
facility
from
detention
basin
into
a
biofiltration
facility,
and
we
also
have
some
part
components
on
it.
So
we
are
in
the
early
phase
of
the
design.
Right
now,
with
construction
will
take
place
late
next
year
into
2023
and
completion
in
late
23,
early
24.
J
Talking
about
master
planning,
so
we
also
focus
on
you
know,
assessing
the
capacity
of
our
system
and
in
the
past
we
complete
the
the
preliminary
master
planning
phase,
where
we
put
together
a
model
of
the
city
showing
all
of
the
pipeline,
with
information
from
pipelines
of
24,
inches
larger,
and
at
the
end
of
that
effort
we
identify
a
series
of
high
priority
projects
and
then,
with
the
with
the
flood
in
2017,
we
were
able
to
work
with
valley
water
and
obtain
their
riverine
models
and
incorporate
that
information
into
our
model.
J
J
J
This
is
a
low
area
and
right
now
all
of
the
runoff
is
draining
toward
coyote
and
the
area
is
prone
for
local
flooding
in
the
past.
So
with
master
planning
evaluation,
we
were
able
to
think
of
you
know,
split
the
flow
and
instead
of
building
a
new
pump
station
on
kyori
creek,
we
can
split
the
flow
and
redirect
some
of
that
flow
to
gotta,
look
by
river
and
take
advantage
of
the
existing
pump
station
over
there.
That
has
extra
capacity,
so
we
can
just
re-flow
everything
to
the
west.
J
So
in
the
past
we
were
able
to
complete
six
phases
of
the
project
and
we
built
a
total
of
32
lost
class
capture
device
in
the
city
and
with
the
new
requirements
that
coming
next
year
likely
we'll
have
to
build
several
more
phases,
with
phase
seven
being
in
the
early
design
phase
right
now
and
we
identify
a
total
of
six
locations
and
staff
is
working
with
caltrans
right
now
to
apply
for
a
grant.
So
we
can
pay
for
this
project
phase.
Seven.
J
So,
besides
the
all
of
the
cip
and
maintenance
effort,
we
also
pay
attention
to.
You
know
like.
J
So
I
I
want
to
recognize
dlt
staff
spending
a
lot
of
time
out
there
and
make
sure
that
our
facility
is
clean
and
getting
ready
for
the
storm
season.
Apparently
we
had
a
storm
in
october
and
everything
went
okay.
We
didn't
see
any
major
incident
and
yeah
we're
working
with
valley
water
just
to
exchange
information
and
make
sure
that
you
know
we
are
ahead
of
whenever
possible.
H
J
This
is
about
85
percent
of
the
entire
city
collection
system,
and
this
is
the
the
most
vulnerable
group
of
pipelines
when
it
comes
to
damage
and
sso.
J
J
J
J
We
will
be
able
to
to
meet
the
capacity
demand
and
support
economic
development
and,
at
the
same
time,
we
try
to
increase
our
investment
into
our
system
so
that
we
can
reduce
or
address
infrastructure
backlogs
and
also
we
prioritize
our
capital
improvement
program
so
that
we
can
lower
our
operational
costs,
ensure
capacity
and
also
prevent
sso
and,
lastly,
improve
our
system.
Reliability.
J
A
H
Thank
you,
paul
soto
from
the
horseshoe.
Thank
you
for
the
presentation.
There's
400
000
people
slated
this.
This
is
just
fact,
so
we
don't
have
to
act
like
it's
not
going
to
happen.
H
There's
400
000
people
that
are
planned
from
around
the
world,
not
from
here
they're,
not
from
probably
not
even
from
california,
okay,
they're
gonna
be
coming
here
to
san
jose.
Okay.
Now
with
that
said,
what
are
you
doing
within
the
context
of
your
purview,
to
accommodate
that,
because
that's
going
to
be
a
lot
of
excessive?
That's
almost
that's
40
of
the
population
right
now,
and
one
of
the
things
that
really
pains
me
is
that
we
are
actually
spending
billions
and
I
mean
billions
of
dollars.
I
went
to
that
bta
meeting.
H
That
was,
that
was
the
most
obscene
amount
of
money
that
I
have
ever
heard
spoken
about
so
cavalierly,
and
so
so
with
respect
to
infrastructure.
We
are
spending
these
billions
of
dollars
to
accommodate
people
that
are
not
even
citizens
of
this
city.
Yet
there's
that
there's
a
problem
there
and
then
you're
gonna
see
that
you're
inserting
equity
into
the
these.
These
grants
that
you're
getting
to
install
an
infrastructure.
H
This
is
not
going
to
be
for
the
abuelitas
man.
You
know
I
respect
councilwoman
foley
for
bringing
up
the
that
element
in
terms
of
there
are
going
to
be
people,
we're
not
going
to
go
to
these
new
technologies.
We're
not
going
to
use
these
new
systems.
H
So
there
has
to
be
a
kind
of
like
like
a
blending
in
point
to
where
it's
still
able
to
accommodate
the
ogs
and
and
the
people
that
are
from
one
particular
cohort,
and
you
know,
and
of
course
accommodate
the
younger
crowd,
because
people
that
are
gonna
be
coming
are,
like.
I
don't
know,
10
between
10
and
35.
F
That
was
a
new
take
from
paul.
I
haven't
heard
before.
Thank
you
for
that.
For
myself,
I
guess
first
a
thank
you
to
on
the
previous
item.
There's
a
really
interesting
final
present
presenter
talking
about
issues
of
equity.
I'm
sorry!
I
got
a
little
upset.
She.
I
think
she
offered
an
interesting
presentation
with
interesting
questions
and
I
tried
to
answer
them.
F
I'm
sorry
that
I
grew
a
little
impatient,
it's
kind
of
sad,
but
good
luck,
how
we
can
work
on
these
issues
for,
for
the
sewer
issues,
yearly
report
about
sewer
issues.
I
think
you
know
we've
been
really
hurting
from
you
know
all
the
years
from
the
from
the
flood
issues
we're
trying
to
rebuild
and
I'm
trying
to
help
contribute
in
my
own
way
to
the
future
planning.
So
we
can
be
prepared
for
these
sort
of
disasters
in
the
future.
F
I
know
the
city
of
san
jose
is
doing
an
incredible
job.
How
to
do
that
and
you
know
they're
inviting
you
know,
committee
meetings
to
talk
about
the
future
of
natural
disaster
issues
and
to
thank
dev
davis.
You
know
earlier,
you
know
for
noting
there's
different
ways.
I
can
talk
about
natural
disaster
preparedness
planning
and
I'm
hoping
I'm
learning
how
to
do
that.
I
don't
want
to
be
alarmist.
F
I
just
want
to
learn
how
it
can
be
important
that
we
integrate
natural
disaster
practices
into
our
regular
committee
meeting
process,
and
I
think
it
can
be
a
great
tool
towards
the
ideas
of
a
equity
and
reimagine,
and
it
helps
that
process
really.
Interestingly,
so
I'm
trying
to
learn
how
to
talk
more
in
those
terms.
So
thanks
for
this
item,
I
think
that
helps
in
that
process
we're
trying
to
learn
and
work
through
and
understand,
better
how
it
can
be
more
open.
So,
thanks
for
this
item.
I
Yeah,
I
I
hope
this
city
has
done
the
due
diligence
in
clearing
the
streams,
the
storm
drains,
the
rivers,
the
creeks,
because
it's
going
to
come,
the
rain
is
going
to
come
one
of
these
days.
We
don't
know
when,
but
it
always
does,
and
then
we
have
floods
and
backed
up
sewers,
but
you
know
you
with
all
this
drought.
This
should
all
been
cleaned
out.
So
I'm
really
hoping
that
this
city
has
has
done
its
due
diligence.
Now
this
is
a
city
that
can't
even
have
a
fountain
running
at
the
rose
garden.
Dev.
I
Are
you
listening?
Okay,
I
mean
how
long
has
the
fountain
been
there
100
years?
It's
always
broken.
I
mean
you
think
you
would
have
got
the
pump
right
in
the
first
bit.
I
mean
it's.
A
nice
fountain,
even
though
it
looks
like
it
was
donated
from
the
former
soviet
union,
did
joe
sollins
and
send
the
the
rose
garden
that
family.
Let
me
come
on,
I
mean
it
look.
It
seems
soviet,
it's
broken
all
the
time,
but
it's
a
joke.
You
guys
can't
run
a
a
fountain.
I
I
just
hope
to
god,
when
the
big
rains
come,
that
we're
not
going
to
have
the
flooding
like.
We
did
before
remember
that
the
people
are
just
getting
paid
by
the
way
too,
how
many
years
is
it
gonna
take,
and
we
had
a
wonderful
businessman
here
in
san
jose.
I
forget
his
name.
Forgive
me
gave
a
lot
of
money.
Where
did
that
all
go?
Nobody
knows.
I
I
think
it
went
in
the
same
safe
as
the
as
the
pot
tax
money
or
something
you
guys
like
to
take
a
bunch
of
money
and
stuff
in
the
safe
down
at
the
police
department,
for
for
safe
keeping
for
you
people,
it's
unbelievable,
how
you
can
go
through
money,
you
know
only
children
and
women
can
be
irresponsible,
but
man
even
the
guys
on
the
city
council.
Are
it's
unbelievable?
I
B
A
A
P
P
P
So
a
lot
of
good
information
there
in
terms
of
what
went
well
and
what
was
challenging,
and
then
we
also
had
them
look
out.
You
know
what
are
some
expected
opportunities
and
challenges
over
the
next
few
years,
as
well
as
looking
at
what
are
some
market
and
industry
trends
that
we
should
be
aware
of
to
improve
our
performance
so
next
slide.
P
Some
of
the
key
takeaways
from
the
report
are
that,
in
terms
of
things
that
want
better
than
expected,
we
continue
to
have
higher
than
expected
customer
participation
in
the
program.
So
that's
great.
We
have
some
of
the
lowest
opt-out
rates
of
any
cca
so
that
all
went
well
in
terms
of
our
revenues
in
2019
and
2020.
P
P
P
But
it's
important
to
note
that
there
were
large
regulatory
changes
that
happened
after
that
plan
was
completed
and
one
of
the
most
notable
is
how
the
pcia
that
power
charge
indifference.
Adjustment
is
calculated
so
at
the
end
of
2018,
when
we
were
in
the
first
year
of
our
launch,
the
public
utilities
commission
changed
the
methodology
fundamentally
on
how
the
pcia
is
calculated
and
changed
it
to
really
being
based
on
short-term
wholesale
market
prices,
and
so
we
knew
that
that
would
be
challenging
when
it
happened.
P
But
you
know
I
think
it
would
have
been
very
hard
to
predict.
You
know
what
actually
the
impact
of
that
methodology
change.
What
actually
happened
in
both
2020
and
2021.
P
They
also
noted
because
of
that
the
2017
plan
underestimated
these
extreme
outcomes.
So
the
worst
case
scenario
that
was
projected
was
definitely
less
than
what
was
realized,
and
so
they
recommend
in
the
future.
We
perform
much
more
rigorous
stress,
testing
of
all
of
these
possible
risks
and
then
finally,
they
did
recommend
that
we
add
staff.
That's
focused
on
risk
management
and
power
supply.
P
However,
you
can
see
what
happened
are
the
actuals
and
that's
that
gray
line
where
even
in
2019,
we
were
above
the
worst
case,
but
still
somewhat
manageable,
2020
it
went
up
further
and
then
you
can
see
in
2021
the
very
large
increase
that
we've
had
all
of
this
year,
and
so
that,
of
course,
has
challenged
our
revenues
and
our
reserves.
P
So
you
can
see
at
the
graph
on
the
right.
The
blue
line
is
our
actuals
and
then
the
gold
and
the
dark
blue
are
the
scenarios
in
the
plan,
and
you
can
see
we
were
on
track.
You
know
about
within
plan
in
2018
and
19
in
terms
of
building
our
reserves
and
then
in
2020
that
large
growth
in
the
pcia
started
to
negatively
impact
us
and
then,
of
course,
in
2021,
caused
us
to
need
to
borrow
from
the
commercial
paper
program.
P
So
first
this
summer,
you
know,
if
you
recall
back
in
june
before
we
were
before
council,
we
were
somewhat
concerned
about
power
prices
over
the
summer,
just
because
the
forwards
were
very
high.
Fortunately,
the
summer
of
2021,
we
did
see
high
prices,
but
nothing
higher
than
what
we
had
planned.
So
that's
good
news
in
terms
of
what
we
have
borrowed
from
the
commercial
paper
program.
We've
currently
borrowed
41
million
through
october.
N
P
P
P
P
Those
rates
will
be
will
result
in
an
over
12
percent
bill
increase
for
the
average
residential
customers
and
then
once
pg
e
changes
their
rates.
We
will
go
back
to
our
maintaining
our
current
rate
structure,
also
important.
To
note
that
we
will
continue
to
offer
green
value,
which
is
priced
at
the
same
as
pg
e,
as
well
as
total
green,
which
is
our
100
renewable
program,
which
is
priced
at
a
parity.
Q
Good
afternoon
zak
strike
assistant
director
and
community
energy
department.
Lori
just
talked
very
well
about
the
pcia
for
2022..
Q
You
see
on
the
left
side
here
the
big
drop
from
2021
to
2022,
and
this
graph
is
meant
to
show
the
sensitivity
of
the
pcia
in
future
years
to
changes
in
the
what
we
call
the
brown
power.
Q
Just
conventional
power
pricing
as
well
as,
and
then
the
dotted
lines
are
changes
in
the
market
price
benchmark
for
resource
adequacy,
which
is
a
sort
of
a
capacity
product
that
we
all
we
and
all
other
load
serving
entities
have
to
purchase
so
there's
a
definite
whipsaw
of
low
in
2022
and
shooting
back
up
to
some
degree
in
2023
in
almost
any
circumstance,
and
so
we're
planning
for
that.
Q
Q
So
the
big
one
in
2024
and
2025
is
diablo
canyon
and
some
of
their
gas
plants
or
and
or
gas
purchase
agreements
that
are
above
market
today
begin
to
roll
roll
off,
and
so
the
total
portfolio
which
is
affected
by
the
pcia
is,
is
getting
smaller
and
that
slowly
brings
the
pcia
down
again
on
the
right
side.
It's
a
similar
story
that
the
the
upshoot
in
2022
for
generation
rate
followed
by
an
expected
drop.
Q
So
there's
a
one-time
recovery
of
fees
due
to
you
know
unanticipated
cost
to
pg
e
from
2021
as
well
as
2022,
and
then
a
general
sort
of
stabilization
next
slide.
Q
Going
forward,
unfortunately,
prices
are
expected
to
be
high
and
and
volatile.
That's
due
to
some
of
the
retirements
that
I
just
mentioned
in
the
the
california
fleet
of
natural
gas
plants
as
well
as
diablo
canyon.
Q
Additionally,
the
the
drought
in
the
in
the
west,
not
just
california,
but
the
pacific
northwest,
has
has
sharply
reduced
the
amount
of
hydropower
available
in
this
state
and
you
know,
and
for
export
from
the
northwest,
which
has
caused
more
reliance
on
the
natural
gas
and
that's
caused
a
squeeze
and
higher
prices
that
we've
seen
that's
exacerbated
by
the
nationwide
nationwide
story.
Current
shortage
of
storage
of
national
natural
gas
that
is
expected
to
normalize
a
bit
in
the
the
forward
years.
But
it's
a
squeeze
right
now
and
summer.
Q
Q
So
part
of
deloitte's
report
was
to
give
us
some
update
on
what's
coming,
trends
in
renewable
and
storage
technologies,
a
well-publicized
explosion
expected
for
lithium-ion
batteries
that
form
of
battery
storage.
That's
well
over
90
of
the
battery
technology.
That's
available.
Today,
it's
proven
and
the
prices
are
coming
down
as
it
scales.
Q
Pumped
storage
is
the
original
storage
technology.
That's
been
out
there
where
you
basically
use
excess
energy
to
pump
water
uphill
and
let
it
flow
downhill
and
generate
power
in
in
when
needed.
There's
not
going
to
be
a
lot
more
of
that.
We
don't
think,
but
some
of
that
you
know
it's.
It's
proven
technology.
It's
just
a
challenge
to
to
cite
it
compressed.
Air
energy
storage
is
also
an
option,
but
requires
some
historically
has
been
used
in
only
in
where
geologic
conditions
have
allowed.
Q
That
would
allow
for
storage
for
more
than
an
hour,
sometimes
multiple
days,
that
that
technology
would
be
much
much
welcomed
and
there's
a
tremendous
amount
of
research
on
it.
A
number
of
pilot
technologies
going
and
it's,
but
it's
a
work
in
progress,
but
we're
all
very
excited
about
it
and
then
green
hydrogen.
As
you
may
know,
green
hydrogen
and
there's
a
lot
of
different
colors
of
hydrogen
today
I
won't
get
into
but
green.
Q
Hydrogen
is
when
renewable
energy
is
used
to
split
water
into
hydrogen
and
oxygen
and
that's
one
way
to
store
this
to
use
excess,
for
example,
solar
energy.
In
the
middle
of
the
day,
when
we
have
this
duct
curve
belly
problem,
and
then
the
hydrogen
can
be
burned
later
in
the
day
when,
when
needed,
so
tremendous
potential
there
as
well
next
slide.
Q
So
we
we
asked
deloitte,
for
you
know
what
what's
going
on
in
california,
what
are
similar
organizations
doing
for
their
clean
energy
goals?
I
think
most
of
the
the
council
is
aware
that
there
are
state
mandated
targets
for
400
percent
getting
to
100
clean
energy
in
2045.
Q
Q
We
work
we
plan
to
work
on
what
interim
goals
interim
steps
between
now
and
then
and
we'll
bring
to
council
for
consideration
as
part
of
our
bi-annual.
That
is
every
other
year
integrated
resource
planning
exercise.
So
that's
a
big
submission
we
have
to
do
to
the
puc
in
the
middle
of
next
year
and
so
that
that
schedules
out
what
we
plan
to
do
over
over
many
years.
So
so
that's
coming
next
slide.
Q
Delay
had
a
number
of
recommendations
for
us,
sorry,
councilmember
cohen.
Would
you
like
to
is
that
a
question
now.
N
Q
Q
Got
it
sorry
so
for
regarding
for
san
jose,
clean
energy
to
enhance
financial
stability?
Q
Laurie
mentioned,
I
think,
cost
of
service
rates
cost
of
service
that
that
is
to
say,
setting
our
rates
more
explicitly,
based
on
what
it
costs
us
to
serve
customers
and
as
opposed
to
being
explicitly
tied
to
a
fixed
percentage
to
pg
e
at
all
times,
so
by
doing
so
a
chance
to
reduce
our
volatility
and
and
also
to
set
rates
at
the
time
that
makes
sense
for
us
to
set
rates
in
a
more
predictable
fashion,
providing
long-term
value,
and
hopefully,
simplification
to
for
customer
experience.
Q
Additionally,
there
was
a
lot
of
discussion
in
the
report
about
managing
on
the
supply
side.
Our
weather-related
load
increases,
so
san
jose.
Q
A
characteristic
of
our
territory
is
that
the
the
electrical
load
required
by
customers
is
really
different
when
the
temperature
is
89
than
it
is
when
it's
95
quite
significantly,
and
so
it's
hard
to
know
which
days
are
going
to
be
the
expensive
days.
You
know
there
are
going
to
be
a
couple,
but
how
do
we
you
know?
Q
What
are
what
are
the
ways
to
manage
that
on
the
supply
and
cost
effectively,
so
looking
at
things
like
weather
derivatives,
weather
insurance,
financial
options
as
permitted
by
city
rules,
regulations
and
policies,
as
well
as
other
risk
management
and
monitoring
tools
on
the
demand
side?
Q
Also,
they
they
had
a
number
of
suggestions
for
things
for
us
to
explore
so
shaping
when
customers
need
to
use
the
energy
using
things
like
demand,
response
or
more
battery
storage,
more
explicitly,
for
example,
aggregating,
for
example,
batteries
cited
at
customer
sites
and
being
able
to
call
on
those
when
we
need
them.
So
it's
sort
of
a
shared
savings
approach
with
customers,
as
well
as
rooftop,
solar
and
and
battery
storage,
in
addition
to
time
of
use
rates
on
using
those
more
widely
and
more
having
sort
of
sharper
incentives
around
peak
versus
non-peak
timing.
Next
slide.
Q
Additionally,
on
the
power
procurement
side
using
more
refined,
more
involved
scenario,
analysis,
we're
excited,
we've
invested
in
using
a
new
platform
by
a
company
called
sequan,
which
sort
of
portfolio
optimization
a
risk
tool
so
that
as
well
as
buying
forward
potentially
as
makes
sense
a
little
bit
more
further
into
the
future.
Q
Generally,
prices
are
more
stable,
further
out
and
less
subject
to
short-term
disruptions
that
we've
seen
a
lot
in
the
last
couple
of
years
and
the
last
one
is
there
are
some
ccas
have
formed
a
a
joint
pp
joint
excuse
me,
a
joint
powers,
association
authority,
joint
powers
authority
and
that
is
using
us
a
tool
to
pre-pay
for
longer
term
contracts
and
and
by
doing
so
through
a
series
of
financial
transactions
with
intermediaries.
Q
Q
And
then
so
that
was
on
the
financial
stability
side
in
terms
of
and
on
the
side
of
organizational
effectiveness.
So
as
we
move
out
of
startup
days
and
again
as
a
reminder,
we've
been
in
operation
less
than
three
full
years
as
we
move
into
a
more
mature
phase,
doing
more
to
document
processes
and
our
financial
monitoring,
financial
reporting
and
more
systematize.
Q
How
we
share
and
approve
reports
both
with
our
risk
operating
committee
and
then
throughout
the
organization,
as
well
as
perhaps
ad
on
the
risk
operating
committee
or
the
rock
agenda
topics
more
regularly
to
get
the
rock
more
familiar
with
the
market,
the
power
market
and
credit
risks
and
and
what's
coming
additionally
to
take
more
financial
controls.
Excuse
me
some
more
controls
on
our
financial
model
and
who
has
access
to
change,
which
key
inputs
and
the
cadence
on
which
those
are
all
input.
Q
So
when
we
look
at
something
at
the
end
of
the
month,
we
have
absolute
certainty
as
to
what
exactly
we're.
Looking
at
the
you
know
what
what
updates,
as
of
which,
for
which
parameters
by
which
date,
and
also
just
upgrading,
how
we
manage
contracts
and
get
them
approved
and
and
monitor
expiration
dates.
Things
like
that
and
a
few
staffing
increases
on
the
risk
management,
side
policy
and
several
other
places
next
time
and
I'm
going
to
hand
back
to
lori
for
the
last
couple
of
slides.
P
Yeah,
thank
you
zach.
So
it's
important
to
note
that,
in
addition
to
the
deloitte
report,
there's
several
other
report
reports
included
with
this
item.
P
P
So,
just
a
couple
of
the
key
findings
of
the
audit
with
deviations
the
first
one
was
that
our
minimum
coverage
ratios
were
not
met
for
specific
periods
and
sometimes
not
reported
for
those
periods,
and
what
the
coverage
ratio
is
is
how
much
power
we
have
procured
as
a
percentage
of
our
load.
So
it's
a
really
important
metric.
P
Some
of
the
reasons
for
this
include
some
issues
that
just
need
to
be
cleaned
up
in
the
regular
recommendations
that
some
of
those
targets
were
just
not
possible,
given
that
we
were
still
in
startup
and
building
the
portfolio
as
an
example,
there's
no
requirement
to
be
40
percent
procured
in
the
later
years,
but
obviously
we
started
from
zero
when
we
first
launched
the
department
also
that
40
doesn't
have
an
end
date.
So
technically
we're
we're
out
of
compliance
with
that.
So
that's
some
stuff
that
we
need
to
clean
up.
P
It's
also
important
to
note
that
our
actual
coverage
ratio
will
always
change
due
to
a
variety
of
market
factors,
so
it
includes
market
conditions,
weather
zach
noted
as
well
as
just
changes
in
customer
behavior
and
one
you
know
particularly
market
condition.
To
note
is
that
in
the
spring
of
2020,
we
changed
our
our
strategy
in
relation
to
our
coverage
ratio
due
to
the
pandemic.
P
But
some
confirmations
did
not
include
the
city
attorney's
signature
as
to
form
so
we've
improved
this
process.
So
in
december
of
2020,
we
actually
changed
our
process
to
ensure
that
the
city
attorney's
office
signs
off
on
all
of
our
short-term
and
our
long-term
power
purchase
agreements
and
then
finally,
one
of
the
other
key
findings
is
that
there
was
insufficient
documentation
on
competitive
bidding
for
some
of
our
transactions,
important
to
note
that
competitive
bidding
was
utilized,
but
that
we
need
to
improve
our
proceed.
P
P
B
H
Yes,
paul
from
horseshoe.
Thank
you
for
the
report.
It's
it.
It
still
fascinates
me
how
you
can
say
so
much
and
use
so
many
words
and
say
absolutely
nothing.
I
mean
nothing
of
any
substance.
H
The
only
thing
the
you
you
need
to
you
need
the
secret
decoder
ring
to
be
able
to
decipher
what
it
is
that
you're
actually
saying
so.
Only
people
that
are
privy
to
what
actually
goes
on
in
those
departments
is
going
to
really
actually
know
what
you
said
and,
and
that's
a
that's
a
problem
as
a
citizen.
H
That's
a
problem,
the
subsidies
that
are
going
to
be
absolutely
necessary
for
all
of
the
eastside
and
the
installation,
which
I
believe
is
the
reason
why
this
clean
energy
chingada
was
invented
because
they're
gonna
have
to
be
installed
in
every
one
of
those
houses,
the
entire
all
the
city's
gonna
be
electrified,
and
so
the
the
increase
and
the
costs
that
are
gonna
be
passed
on
to,
of
course,
mexicans
latinos.
You
know
the
ones
been
bearing
the
costs.
H
F
Hi
thanks
a
lot
for
this
item.
I've
been
attending
community
energy
commission
meetings
since
2018,
and
I
have
a
little
bit
of
a
like
a
bit
of
experience
and
and
such
what
I
can't
say
here.
I
I
have
a
lot
of
feelings
at
this
time.
F
It
was
not
mentioned
we're
dealing
with
serious,
weird
issues
of
pg
e
they're
going
loopy
again.
Why
wasn't
that
talked
about?
I
mean
it's
an
issue.
I
think
we're
all
behind
we're,
trying
to
ask
pg
e
to
not
go
for
these
massive
solar
rate
increases
in
the
next
year,
they'll
be
bringing
that
up
this
week
at
the
cpuc.
F
Why
wasn't
that
talked
about
we're
seriously
against
it
here
in
san
jose?
I
think
the
the
fact
that
you're
gonna
be
raising
rates
for
the
next
few
months.
At
least
it
sounds
like,
and
if
the
gamble
works,
the
pg
e
will
do
certain
things,
so
you
can
bring
down.
Rapes
again
sounds
odd.
It
is
not
conducive
to
kind
of
the
renewable
future.
That's
really
possible
that
we
have
to
build
with
pg
e.
We
have
to
learn
to
invite
pg
e
to
this
cooperative
renewable
process
and
not
make
things
difficult.
F
F
We
got
to
talk
about
the
subsidy
process
and
how
this
whole
process
can
be
more
accessible
for
ourselves.
Even
with
you
know
your
loan
situations
that
you
have
to
deal
with
yeah.
I
know
you
guys
want
to
work
on
these
things.
This
was
a
really
disappointing
lecture.
Today,
I'm
really
hurt
by
it.
We
got
to
take
on
pg
e.
We
can
address
the
future
of
renewables.
We
can
prepare
for
2023
as
a
year
of
important
changes
for
our
good.
F
B
Thank
you
for
the
report.
A
lot
of
work
went
into
what
I
could
tell.
I
agree
with
what
mr
bigman
and
the
other
gentleman
had
to
say.
I
I
do
think
you
folks
are
trying.
I
wanted
to
bring
up,
and
this
is
far
field,
but
they
finally
developed
a
fusion
reaction
that
actually
generates
more
power
than
is
initially
put
into
it,
which
is
a
big
deal
for
fusion.
I
I
don't
think
that'll
ever
get
built
out
here,
but
we
ever
hit
the
trifecta
with
cold
fusion.
B
I
think
energy
problems
won't
even
be
an
issue,
it'll,
be
it
won't
be
in
the
stars,
and
I
hopefully
kids
kids,
live
to
see
that
because
it
could
be
a
game
changer
for
this
planet.
B
We
know
that
we
don't
need
to
think
outside
the
box.
We
need
to
get
rid
of
blocks
because
we're
in
when
we
die
our
strengths.
With
another
thing
mr
brinkman
brought
up
was
the
cpuc,
the
california
public
utilities.
Commission
has
got
to
be
one
of
the
most
unefficient
ways
of
running.
I
was.
B
B
They
didn't
really
discuss
the
public
utilities,
commission
and
I
think
you
should
bring
eugene,
maybe
a
lot
of
us
who
can't
stand
png
if
pg
e
would
understand
what
they're
going
through
and
we
would
be
a
little
more
amiable
because
it's
not
it's
not
all
a
big
conspiracy
but
a
church.
Thank
you.
I
Oh,
renewable
energy,
mass
transit
sounds
so
sexy,
it's
not
bad
electrical
grid.
Already
pg
e
hasn't
put
any
money
into
into
this
area.
To
fix
anything,
and
now
all
of
a
sudden
we're
going
to
have
renewable
energy.
I
saw
how
the
renewables
worked
this
summer
during
one
of
your
city
council
meetings
when
the
power
went
out,
I
was
looking
for.
You
know.
I
thought
the
unicorn
was
going
to
show
up
and
turn
it
back
on,
but
it
didn't
but
yeah
you're
not
you're,
not
going.
I
We
people
are
putting
solar
panels
on
their
houses
everywhere,
which
is
an
eyesore.
This
is
coming
from
a
city
where,
if
you
have
a
flagpole
an
inch
too
high,
it's
considered
something
bad,
but
hey
put
those
solar
panels
on
your
house
that
completely
make
the
neighborhood
look
ugly,
hey!
It's
not
my
power
bill,
put
them
on
your
roof.
I
don't
care,
but
they
are
ugly
and
now,
all
of
a
sudden,
you
guys
think
you're
gonna
have
a
solar
farm
and
wind
and
everything
else
it
doesn't
work.
I
lived
in
europe
for
almost
a
decade.
I
The
solar
is
a
disaster.
The
wind
was
a
disaster.
They
thought
that
they
were
going
to
have
all
these
magical
things
happen
and
they
didn't.
They
had
to
go
back
to
using
other
energies,
including
nuclear
you're.
You're
you're
fooled
to
think
that
it's
going
to
work
and
the
cpuc
is
corrupt.
I
can
say
it
I
just
did
they
don't
do
anything
for
the
consumer,
it's
bad
for
business,
it's
bad
for
the
residents,
it's
bad
for
rate
payers.
I
Now
we
have
natural
gas
prices
going
up
and
in
the
future
we
won't
even
have
natural
gas
we're
all
going
to
be
on
this
bad
electrical
grid.
With
these
renewable
energy
resources
powered
by
unicorns
right-
and
I
I
think
that
this
city
council
is
so
irresponsible
to
think
that
all
these
things
are
going
to
be
good.
They
are
not
you're.
The
most
irresponsible
group
of
people.
I've
ever
ever
seen,
legislate
anything.
You
guys
almost
make.
N
Yeah,
thank
you
and
I
want
to
thank
the
staff
for
this
report,
and
somebody
mentioned
that
this
is,
you
know,
only
been
an
endeavor
for
three
years,
so
I
want
to
first
start
by
saying
it's
really
impressive,
how
far
we've
come
and
and
how
you
know
what
we're
doing
getting
meeting
our
objectives.
And
you
know
it's
a
lot
of
work.
I
know
so
I'm
I'm
I'm
proud
of
the
place
that
we're
in
as
far
as
our
clean
energy,
you
know
the.
B
N
N
This
is
more
of
just
a
technical
curiosity
question,
but
I
saw
a
presentation
earlier
this
year
about
storage
technologies
saw
some
interesting
additional
technologies
that
you
didn't
mention,
and
I
don't
I
don't
know
how
far
along
they
are,
if
they're
more
conceptual
there's
in
addition
to
gravity
water
feed,
there's
also,
this
idea
of
gravity
concrete
blocks
that
get
raised
during
the
day
and
then
lower
at
night
are
any
people
starting
to
use
technologies
like
that.
Q
Yes,
they're
I'll
I'll,
correct
me.
If
I'm
wrong,
you
know,
I
would
say
they're
in
sort
of
large
pilot
stage,
those
that
that
company
and
there's
probably
more
than
one
but
there's
a
significant
one
in
california,
they're
bidding
on
projects.
I
don't
know
if
anyone
has
sort
of
taken
the
plunge
to
be
the
off
taker
for
the
big
one
yet,
but
there's
definitely
a
lot
of
interest
in
in
that
and
some
sort
of
gravity
thing
would
seem
to
make
sense
and
there's
other
versions
of
that.
You
know.
Q
P
B
P
Mentioned
it's
a
it's
very
much
an
emerging
technology,
but
in
concept
not
a
lot
different
than
pumped
hydro
right,
which
is
also
relying
on
gravity
to
move
water
downhill.
So
you
know,
I
expect
that
there
will
be
more
of
that
in
the
future
and
it's
certainly
something
we're
continuing
to
monitor
and
keep
our
eye
on.
We
all
know
that
storage
is
definitely
going
to
be
needed
as
we
transition
to
our
carbon
free
future.
N
Yeah,
actually,
it's
kind
of
funny
that
you
refer
to
it
as
emerging
technology,
because
what
I
love
about
it
is
that
it's
really
old
technology
right,
it's
gravity
and
blocks.
I
mean
it's,
it's
actually
pretty
amazing
to
me
how
simple
it
is
and
how
it's
almost
a
brilliant
idea,
but
yet
something
that
you
know
could
have
been
done
hundreds
of
years
ago.
N
So
I
like
it
for
that
reason,
there's
also
some
cities
that
are
using
underground
thermal
storage,
I'm
not
sure
if
it
works
in
a
place
with
our
weather
cycles,
but
they
heat
water
in
the
summer,
keep
it
underground,
it
stays
cold,
it
stays
hot
and
then
they
can
use
it
to
heat.
N
As
for
heating
sources
in
the
winter,
not
sure
anything
like
that
is
possible
in
our
area
or-
and
then
what's
interesting
about
that,
is
you
can
do
it
underneath
the
city
you
don't
have
to
you,
don't
have
to
have
big
open
space
to
do
it.
N
This
is
where
I
sort
of
throw,
in
my
usual
caveat
that
I
always
mention
about
you-
know
our
attempt
to
get
to
fully
renewable
and
by
2030
that,
and
I
don't
I
know
we
would
never
intentionally
do
anything
anything
other
than
you
know
anything
towards
what
I'm.
What
I'm
suggesting,
except
that
reaching
energy
reaching
renewable
at
the
expense
of
other
jurisdictions
being
able
to
go
renewable.
Doesn't
it
isn't
really
the
goal?
Not
not?
N
Obviously,
I'm
not
suggesting
that's
what
we're
doing,
but
I
like
to
think
holistically
because
we're
going
to
solve
this
problem
by
the
entire
state
and
country
going
renewable
and
if
we're
saying
we
got
this
source
out
in
new
mexico
and
we're
using
their
their
energy
to
be
green
here.
But
that
means
someone
else
doesn't
have
the
opportunity
to
use
it
there.
N
We
haven't
solved
the
problem,
so
I
always
just
want
to
keep
that
in
mind
every
time
we
have
this
conversation
that
we
got
to
be
building
more
capacity
and
not
you
know
taking
capacity
from
other
places,
but
I'm
excited
that
the
there's
a
recommendation
there
for
more
localized
rooftop
solar.
N
I
think
that
it's
important
for
us
to
have
that
those
local
sources
to
in
addition,
and
that's
partly
because
of
what
I
just
said-
that
the
more
local
capacity
we
have,
the
less
we
have
to
take
from
these
other
sites,
which
can
be
used
elsewhere
then-
and
we
have
such
a
sunny
city,
that
it
makes
sense
for
us
to
do
local,
rooftop
solar.
Here.
N
I
do
want
to
thank
blair
for
mentioning
the
concern
we
have,
that
the
state
cpuc
and
other
discussions
that
are
happening
about
eliminate
or
ending
net
metering
for
solar,
which
you
know,
is
something
being
done
at
the
behest
of
pg
e,
but
wouldn't
be
good
for
customers
or
for
our
environment.
So
I'm
hopeful
that
we
maybe
this
is
something
that
our
city
should
take
up
as
a
as
a
policy
position.
I've
certainly
been
enjoying
the
lobbying
effort
to
try
to
defeat
that
effort
is
our
city.
Looking
into
that
issue,.
P
Yeah,
it's
a
really
good
point
and
I'd
really
like
to
know
both
for
you
and
for
the
public
that
we
have
advocated
very
strongly
in
san
jose
clean
energy
in
favor
of
net
metering.
We
recognize
that's
a
really
important
initiative
for
us
to
meet
our
climate
goals,
so
we've
sent
letters
of
san
jose
clean
energy,
advocating
to
preserve
net
metering,
and
we've
also
worked
very
closely
with
our
mayor's
office
and
coordinated
with
other
cities,
and
that
advocacy.
N
Good
thanks
and
the
last
question
about
staffing,
so
you
talked
about
needing
more
staffing,
clean
energy.
The
staffing
positions
are
paid
for
out
of
the
program
itself
right
through
rates,
so
you
know
the
the
number
of
staffing
obviously
will
be
based
on
what
the
program
can
support,
and
so
I
just
want
to
also
kind
of
maybe
get
that
point
across
that
this
will
be
a
separate
discussion
from
other
city
staffing
discussions
which
come
out
of
the
general
fund
right.
P
Right,
you
know
the
intention
is
for
san
jose
clean
energy
to
be
an
enterprise
function,
and
so
we
rely
on
our
own
revenue.
So
all
staffing
is
currently
funded
through
those
revenues.
Although
we
have
you
know,
taken
commercial
paper,
loans
from
the
city
that
we
are
working
on,
you
know
rate
recommendations
to
allow
us
to
pay
that
back,
but
all
of
our
operating
expenses
are
funded
through
our
rate
revenues,
not
through
the
general
fund.
Okay,.
B
A
F
Hi,
thank
you
thanks
for
the
final
words
from
laurie.
I
know
that
there
her
feelings
about
she
would
want
to
work
on
net
metering
issues
and
pg
e
is
doing
something
weird
again,
and
it's
just.
I
think
I
know
why
they're
doing
it,
but
it's
it's
practices
that
it's
typical
pg
e
and
we
have
to
be
considering
more
cooperative
ways
to
ease
them
out
and
transition
themselves
as
the
major
power
player
for
the
the
state
and
how
we
transition
that
to
local
communities.
F
It
can
be
a
much
softer
cooperative
process
and
they're
doing
it
so
rigid
and
capitalistic
and
competitive
and
people
are
going
to
die.
Basically
from
doing
this,
that
you
know
it's
it's
it's
terrible,
it's
typical
pg
e
and
they
really
got
to
learn
to
change
that
and
that's
it
was
important
for
lori
to
talk
about
it.
She
explained
thanks
with
my
remaining
time.
I
wanted
to
speak
about
overall
technology
and
open
public
policy
ideas.
F
You
know
and
with
all
the
new
aopr
stuff
you
guys
were
talking
about
last
week
with
law
enforcement
issues.
We
got
these
new
law
enforcement
crime
waves
going
on.
You
know.
We
also
have
a
bunch
of
four
and
5g
and
smart
street
light
led
technology.
It's
got
a
ton
of
surveillance
and
technology
already.
F
I
think,
we're
starting
to
realize
that
and
that
it
isn't
just
we
get
a
whole
bunch
of
new
iopr's
and
that
answers
everything,
there's
vision,
zero
practices
we
have
to
be
considering.
We
have
to
learn
how
to
talk
about
those
vision,
zero
practices
clearly
and
better,
because
we're
having
problems
talking
about
vision,
zero,
clearly,
right
now
with
ksi
statistics,
we're
learning
to
do
it
better,
but
we
are
learning
and
but
it's
we're
not
there
yet,
and
we
have
to
be
clear
and
accountable
with
ourselves
before
we
go.
You
know
full
off
on
this
new
aopr.
F
Kick
that
I
think
you
know
there's
so
much
other
technology
and
some
of
the
so
many
other
ways
to
address
these
law
enforcement
concerns
directly
to
address.
You
know
these
organizational
crime
units
themselves,
the
organizational
you
know,
mafia
groups,
whatever
that
we
can.
We
can
do
this
in
different
ways,
and
it
says
it's
a
number
of
issues
and
ways
to
work
thanks.
O
Thank
you,
madam
chai,
so
I
wanted
to
congratulate
you
on
your
performance
during
this
morning's
caltrain
board
meeting
and
your
success
blowing
up
another
half
a
billion
dollars
on
what
you
and
miss
bouchard
have
essentially
turned
into
an
irrelevant
and
useless
piece
of
junk
after
18
months
of
two
hour,
close
session
meetings,
followed
by
one
minute
of
public
comment,
I
was
also
impressed
to
learn
that
you
are
noticed
that
roads
are
more
congested
than
ever
on
the
way
to
the
vet
earlier
this
morning
for
a
dental
cleaning
for
your
pooch.
O
Meanwhile,
caltrain
is
running
so
many
trains
that
they
actually
managed
to
hit
the
same
car
twice
with
two
different
trains,
one
northbound
and
one
sold
southbound.
Now.
The
only
problem
is
that,
after
a
collision,
there
is
a
passenger
account
on
the
trains,
and
the
passenger
account
revealed
that
one
of
the
trains
was
carrying
a
grand
total
of
three
passengers.
This
is
beyond
impressive,
but
now
going
back
to
the
earlier
presentations,
the
duration
disk
update
was
beyond
overwhelming.
O
I
mean
I
I
mean,
and
definitely
I
would
know
how
to
have
other
words
for
that
and
the
solution
to
speedy
speeding.
Your
early
morning,
pooch
errands
to
the
vent
to
the
vet,
it's
clearly
to
take
down
highway,
87
and
shut
down
santa
clara.
O
H
H
When
I
come
to
these
meetings,
I
can
be
a
straight
up,
condescending,
arrogant,
demanding
punk,
and
you
have
extended
a
few
courtesies
to
me
that
I
really
appreciate,
because
I
don't
really
necessarily
have
those
coming
from,
but
you
extended
them
anyway,
and
so
I
want
to
acknowledge
that
and
and
that
I
appreciate
that,
okay
and
so,
but
with
respect
to
batteries.
H
Okay,
when
when
ford,
when
ford
invented
the
model
a
he
started,
wars
in
panama,
nicaragua,
all
of
these
places
where
there
was
rubber
trees
and
so
because
he
needed
the
rubber
for
the
cars.
So
what
he
did
is
he
started
wars
down
there.
He
used
all
used
the
commandeered,
the
the
united
states
army,
in
order
to
do
that.
H
You
know
we
could
say
that.
Oh
we're,
you
know
environmentally
cut
you
ain't
environmentally
conscious
or
aware,
unless
you're
native
american
period
period
other
than
that
you're
intellectualizing
yourself
through
those
elements,
but
we
knew
that
trees
breathed
out
oxygen
and
that
the
process
of
photosynthesis
existed
long
before
mice
microscopes
ever
exist.
H
So
again,
thank
you
for
a
good
meeting
and
again
thank
you
for
extension
of
the
courtesy
of
councilwoman
davis.
I
I
You
know
it's
not
happy
holidays
or
whatever
you're
celebrating
by
the
way,
that's
got
to
be
one
of
the
most
condescending
rudest
things
and
that's
coming
from
me,
and
everybody
knows
that
I'm
probably
the
most
impolite
caller
there
is,
and
if
I
say
it's
rude,
you
really
hit
rock
bottom
and
every
single
one
of
you
has
without
that
city,
council,
right,
happy
holidays,
wherever
you're
celebrating.
No,
it's
merry
christmas.
I
Okay
and
this
city
has
tried
to
get
rid
of
christmas
now
susan
hammer
tried
to
get
rid
of
the
manger
through
an
illegal
vote
on
a
saturday
morning
and
good
old
san
jose
pd
man.
They
they
follow
that
illegal
order,
like
they
always
do,
took
the
manger
out
had
to
put
it
back,
had
to
put
it
back.
Why?
Because
you
people
get
paid
on
christmas,
you
don't
get
paid
for
happy
holidays
now.
Do
you
you
get
extra
money
or
overtime
if
you
work
at
the
city
because
of
christmas,
not
a
happy
holiday.
