A
It's
one
thirty,
so
we
will
start
today's
t
and
e
committee
meeting
before
we
begin.
I
want
to
remind
the
committee
members
and
members
of
the
public
to
follow
our
code
of
conduct
at
meetings
that
includes
commenting
on
the
specific
agenda
item
only
and
addressing
the
full
body
public
public
speakers
highlighting.
A
Members
of
the
committee
directly,
all
members
of
the
committee
staff
and
the
public
are
expected
to
refrain
from
abusive
language
to
live
with
the
code
of
conduct
which
will
disturb,,
disrupt
or
impede
the
orderly
conduct
of
this
meeting
will
result
in
removal
from
the
meeting..
So,
let's
start
with
roll
call.
C
B
You
know,,
I'm
learning,
there's
going
to
be.
This
item
is
going
to
be
the
further
down
the
agenda.
um,.
I
just
wanted
to
thank
you,
blair,
beekman
here..
I
just
wanted
to
thank
yourselves
that
this
item
is
here..
I
was
curious
if
there
is
going
to
actually
continue
to
be
a
smart
cities
committee
that
this
item
is
usually
a
part
of,
and
I
haven't
seen
the.
B
E
A
A
F
Teeing
up.
I
might
as
well
start
off
by
introducing
myself.
good
afternoon,
chair
cohen
and
members
of
the
committee.,
I'm
jennifer
vical
brown
and
the
sustainability
and
compliance
division
manager
for
the
environmental
services
department..
I'm
joined
today
by
some
of
our
brilliant
team
members,
eric
dunlavey,,
the
environmental
programs
manager
over
wastewater
compliance
and
jason
nettleton,
principal
engineer
over
air
compliance
at
the
regional
wastewater
facility..
Our
presentation
well.
F
This
is
our
annual
update
to
inform
the
committee
about
our
regulatory
activities
and
changes
that
might
affect
the
facility.
As
part
of
this,
we're
also
going
to
share
activities
that
we
engage
in
to
maintain
compliance
and
prepare
for
regulations
which,
in
the
end,
results
in
enhanced
benefits
to
the
environment
and
habitats
through
our
stewardship..
But.
F
F
F
High
standards
to
protect
the
environment,
to
ensure
compliance
and
to
be
proactive.,
we
remain
vigilant
and
actively
engaged
in
regional
coalitions
to
track
any
upcoming
legislation
or
regulations
that
could
impact
operations
within
these
regional
partnerships.
We
collaborate
on
various
studies
that
monitor
water
quality
and
habitat
of
the
bay.
This
ultimately
helps
us
to
understand
how
our
activities,
our
the
big,
our
people
as
a
whole,
may
or
may
not
affect
the
ecosystem
and
prepares
our
agency
with
science
based
evaluations
that
inform
operations
and
decisions
made
in
the
capital
improvement
program..
So
this
is
the.
F
Regional
wastewater
facilities,
vast
service
area.,
it
covers
about
half
of
santa
clara
county
where
it
provides
nonstop
service..
The
information
we
gain
from
our
regional
partnerships
and
how
we
strive
for
collaborative
relationships
with
our
regulators
allows
us
to
advocate,
on
behalf
of
the
community
and
businesses
in
our
service
area
and
across
our
tributary
agencies,
and
it.
F
Also
helps
us
to
advocate,
on
behalf
of
the
facility
for
sensible
regulations..
While
this
update
is
focused
on
regulatory
details,,
we
don't
want
to
lose
sight
that
all
of
this
furthers
environmental
service
department's
mission
to
deliver
world
class
utility
services
and
programs
to
improve
our
health,
environment
and
the
economy.
next
we'll
discuss
the
permits
and
regulatory
activities,
starting
with
wastewater.
thank
you,.
G
G
there's
also
our
nutrient
permit,
which
addresses
nitrogen
and
phosphorus,
and
these
are
two
elements
that
occur
in
all
wastewater
and
they're
essential
for
a
healthy
baby,
but
they
can
have
detrimental
effects
if
they
occur
at
high
levels
under
the
right,
conditions.
I'll
be
providing
more
detail
about
nutrient
regulations
in
just
a
moment.
and
finally,
there's
the
pcbs
and
mercury
permit,
which
establishes
effluent
limits
for
these
legacy
pollutants
and
describes
other
requirements
to
control
and
reduce
pcbs
and
mercury..
So
our.
G
Nutrient
permit
requires
financial
support
for
a
regional
science
program
to
evaluate
the
impact
of
nutrients
on
the
environmental
health
of
san
francisco..
We've
actively
engaged
in
leadership
positions
in
the
science
program
for
the
past
11
years..
It's
a
highly
collaborative
process
with
scientists,
regulators,
discharges
and
environmental
groups
studying
the
nutrient
issues
in
the
bay
and
it's
received
national
awards
for
collaborative
regulatory
development
now..
Previously
there
were
no
clear
signs
of
ecological
impairment
of
the
bay,
and
this
was
despite
very
elevated
levels
of
nutrients
in
bay
waters..
G
This
all
changed
in
august,
20
22,
when
a
massive
bloom
of
toxic
red
tide,
algae
known
as
heteros,
sigma
akashi,
will
spread
from
the
alameda
inner
harbor
throughout
the
bay
for
several
weeks..
The
bloom
fueled
by
high
nitrogen
levels
from
wastewater
discharges
killed,
caused
fish
kills
throughout
most
of
the
bay,
and
this
event
was
really
a
game.
G
Changer
that
altered
the
trajectory
of
the
development
of
nutrient
regulations..
Our
nutrient
permit
will
contain
a
nitrogen
limit
when
it
is
reissued
next
year
and
it
will
also
require
further
reductions
of
nitrogen
discharges
from
wastewater
agencies
over
the
next
10
years..
The
full
extent
of
those
nitrogen
reductions
is
still
under
evaluation,
but
agencies
that
do
not
currently
reduce
nitrogen
and
their
waste
streams
will
be
required
to
achieve
the
largest
reductions..
G
The
rwc
is
already
very
effective
at
removing
nutrients
from
wastewater
due
to
past
upgrades
and
very
recent
optimizations,
and
this
really
sets
us,
apart
from
the
other
wastewater
treatment
plants
in
the
region,
to
ensure
we
can
meet
future
nitrogen
limits
in
the
long
term..
The
rwc
completed
a
study
in
2021
that
evaluated
the
upgrades
necessary
to
meet
nitrogen
regulations
well
into
the
future..
The
upgrade
technology
has
been
identified
and
the
timing
and
implementation
are
currently
being
finalized.
G
wastewater
compliance
staff
have
also
proactively
monitored
the
environmental
condition
in
the
lower
south
bay,
as
shown
in
the
picture
on
the
right..
This
monitoring
conducted
year
round
confirmed
that
the
lower
south
bay
was
spared
from
the
most
severe
impacts
of
the
august
20
22,
red
tide,
bloom.
and
while
water
quality
in
the
lower
south
bay
was
lessened
during
the
bloom,,
there
were
no
fish
kills
in
this
part
of
the
bay
and
fish
monitoring
actually
indicated
a
healthy
fish
community,
even
at
the
height
of
the
bloom..
G
The
permit
also
requires
a
regional
evaluation
of
the
opportunities
and
costs
to
reduce
nutrient
loads
to
the
bay
through
expanded
recycled
water
and
through
utilizing
nature
based
solutions
that
beneficially
reuse,
treated,
wastewater
for
habitat
creation
or
enhancements..
These
evaluations
of
cost
and
opportunity
of
nontraditional
nutrient
reduction
strategies
will
add
useful
information
to
our
existing
understanding
of
the
costs
of
traditional
engineered
treatment
technologies.
So.
G
G
Presently
there
are
no
regulatory
limits
risks,
but
these
contaminants
should
be
evaluated
very
carefully
and
wastewater
and
in
the
bay
in
order
to
determine
if
pollutant
reduction,
strategies
or
regulations
are
necessary..
Esd
pollution
prevention
program
takes
a
proactive
approach
to
sex
by
assessing
environmental
risk
and
taking
action
to
reduce
that
risk
through
outreach,
education
and
legislative
advocacy.,
and
this
is
so
future
regulations
do
not
result
in
even
more
expensive
treatment
systems
or
programs
to
fix
a
problem
that
could
have
been
avoided..
We.
G
Accomplished
this
through
a
collaborative
science
based
process
and
with
our
partners,
we
conduct
special
studies
to
build
our
knowledge
and
evaluate
csc
environmental
sources
and
transport
that
then
inform
pollution
prevention
messaging
and
our
outreach,
messaging.,
flea
and
tick
treatments
for
pets
and
safe
medicine
disposal
are
great
examples
of
how
this
collaborative
science
based
process
has
informed.
Effective
public
outreach
campaigns
and
the
proactive
approach
has
worked
very
well
to
address
these
issues
early
and
avoid
costly
regulations..
But
it's
no
guarantee
that
future
cdc
regulations
will
be
avoided..
G
In
some
cases
they
may
be
inevitable.,
that's
the
likely
case
for
pfs,,
which
is
a
current
cdc
that
has
increased
national
attention..
These
are
forever
chemicals
used
in
a
broad
range
of
products,
from
food
packaging
to
firefighting,
foams
and
we've
been
proactive
by
partnering,
with
regional
collaborators
to
conduct
a
baseline
study,
evaluating
levels
of
peachfuzz
entering
and
leaving
wastewater
treatment
plants,
as
well
as
looking
at
the
most
significant
sources
of
fast
discharged
into
the
collection
system..
This
is
a
unique
study
in
the
bay
area
that
has
the
support
of
our
state
regulators
and
epa..
G
The
study
is
wrapping
up
and
results
will
be
critical
in
determining
the
actions
that
will
effectively
reduce
force
levels
in
wastewater,
and
it
will
enable
us
to
respond
to
any
future
wastewater
regulations
for
pbs..
That's
it
for
me.,
I'm
going
to
turn
it
over
now
to
jason
nettleton.
Who
will
update
you
on
air..
Thank.
H
H
H
The
proposed
regulation,
thirteen
four-
has
the
greatest
potential
to
affect
the
rwa
in
the
future.
development
of
the
rule
has
been
on
hold
for
the
last
two
years,
but
may
restart
by
the
end
of
this
year.
uh,.
The
bay
area,
clean
water,
association
and
city
staff
will
work
with
the
air
district
during
the
rule
development
to
create
a
rule
to
reduce
greenhouse
gas
emissions
without
compromising
our
ability
to
meet
nutrient
reduction.
Goals.
uh,,
the
air.
H
H
F
F
Why
we
need
to
stay
flexible
and
agile
and
our
capital
program,
so
that
projects
have
a
pathway
in
which
they
can
evolve
and
respond
to
future
regulation.?
We're
going
to
continue
engaging
with
our
regulators,
as
we've
seen
in
this
situation,
with
the
nutrient
permit,
our
effective
working
relationship
regionally
and
with
our
regulators
has
allowed
us
to
stand
out
and
be
recognized
for
our
efforts
in
reducing
nutrients
early
on
and
for
the
bay
area,
air
quality
management
district.
F
A
C
B
The
first
note
that
the
pta.
B
Board
of
directors
that
there
you
are
most
recent
board
of
directors
public
meeting
each
month
on
their
consent,
calendar
items..
They
approved
a
report
about
how
the.
B
Dredging
of
the
bart
tunnel
issues
in
the
downtown
area
that
that
dredging
material
is
going
to
be
placed
in
the
bay
in
the
south,
bay.
uh,
it'll
be
interesting
to
note
how
the
dredging
will
relate
to
what
you're
talking
about
on
this
item
at
this
time..
I'm
hopeful
optimistic
what
I
can
say
and
what
it
can
be
about.
and
just
a
reminder
for
yourselves.
B
uh,
how
to
connect
things
and
work
on
items
and
that
it
can
be
an
understandable
process
for
all
of
us
for
those
that
is
a
little
more
difficult
to
connect
such
things.
good
luck
and
making
it
clear
and
understandable
what
we're
working
on.
uh,.
I
also
wanted
to
mention,
you're
talking
a
lot
about
the
sort
of
water
pollution
issues.
B
B
B
you're
trying
to
work
with
federal
agencies
here
to
address
issues..
So
thank
you
for
that.
Work.
uh,.
It's
an
important
reminder
that
in
all
this
new
federal
funding
dollars,
I
hope
we
don't
overemphasize
law
enforcement
and
a
thank
you
that
places
like
the
housing
department
are
trying
to
work
with
the
people
who
live
along
the
creeks
to
find
them
homes
and
good
luck
in
the
continued
effort..
Thank
you.
back
to
the
committee..
All.
A
G
Current
requirements
load
requirements.,
we
were
expecting
a
load
cap.
When
this
permit
was
coming
up
for
reissuance,
we
will
get
a
load
cap
which
is
going
to
essentially
keep
us
at
our
current
performance
and
then
they're
they're
going
to
be
load
reductions..
Those
discussions
with
our
regulators
are
still
sort
of
being
fleshed
out
in
terms
of
timing
and
how
quickly
agencies
can
move
our
agency
in
particular,
since
we've
already
substantially
reduced
our
nitrogen
load.
G
We
achieve
about
85
percent
reduction
from
the
head
of
the
plant
to
the
end
of
the
plant,
which
really
sets
us
apart
from
everybody
else..
So
our
expectation
is
that
we
will
have
to
maintain
that
which
will
still
be
a
challenge
as
population
grows..
So
we
still
have
to
maintain
the
load.
That's
leaving
the
rwa,
even
with
increased
levels
of
nitrogen
coming
and
that's
what
our
that's,
what
our
plans
are
to
do,
now.
so
other.
A
A
If,
as
we
begin
to
divert
more
presumably
of
of
our
effluent
for
purification
or
you
know,
to
recycle,,
does
that
have
an
effect
on
the
discharge?,
I
mean
presumably
everything's
very
uniform
dependent,
no
matter
how
much
the
volume
is.
is
that
true
or
do
we,
if
you
have
less,,
does
that
lead
to
more
issues
so.
G
when
you're
talking
about
purified,
water,,
oftentimes
you're
talking
about
a
reverse
osmosis
system
that
sends
the
concentrated
load
of
nitrogen
right
out
into
the
bay.,
so
it
doesn't,
it
doesn't
actually
provide
a
reduction
in
the
load
if
you're,
if
you're
talking
about
non
purified
diversions.
That
does
that's
what
I
was
wondering
about
as.
A
A
I
Chairman
committee,
john
rizzo,,
director
of
transportation.,
just
let
me
introduce
the
people
that
will
be
doing
the
presentation.
rick
scott
from
the
department
of
transportation's
deputy
director,
sarah
davis,,
our
new
city,
forester
and
john
two
division
manager
and
planning
building
code
enforcement.
This
is
an
update
of
where
we
are
with
the
community
forest
management
plan..
I
think
we've
got
a
lot
of
work
that
we
did
and
we'd
like
to
present
that
to
the
committee
and
I'm
going
to
turn
it
over
to
rick
right,
now.,
thanks,,
john.,
good.
J
Afternoon.
members
of
the
committee,
members
of
the
public,
my
name
is
rick
scott,,
deputy
director.
dotti,
for
those
of
you
who
may
not
have
been
here
or
just
a
reminder
for
those
of
you
that
were
the
committee,
forest
management
plan
was
adopted
on
february
8th.,
twenty
twenty
two,
we
applied
dot
the
city
applied
for
a
grant
and
basically
got
a
analysis
of
where
we
stand
as
an
urban
forestry
program.
J
third
party
analysis
of
the
entire
program
from
start
to
finish,
including
development,
review,
planting
mitigation,
fees,,
all
those
things,
the
development
of
a
strategic
work
plan
based
on
the
recommendations
derived
from
that
initial
analysis
and
then
an
updated
tree
policy,
best
management
practices
manual.
Again,
the
the
plan
was
adopted
on
february
twenty
twenty
two
with
some
council
supplemental
memos,,
one
of
which
will
also
be
discussing
today,
called
for
an
audit
on
tree
planting
development
review
and
the
mitigation
fees..
J
So
that's
going
to
be
basically
the
second
half
of
the
report
here..
It
resulted
in
the
formation
of
the
community
forest
advisory
committee,
which
it
was
recommended
in
the
plan
and
also
a
supplemental
memo
and
cal
fire,
provided
that
quote.
At
the
end
there
there
there
were
some
pretty
key
findings
that
have
guided
our
work
in
this
first
year..
The
first
one
is
the
tree.
Canopy
cover
declined
from
fifteen
point
three
percent
to
thirteen
point:
two
percent
from
twenty
twelve
twenty
twenty..
J
J
unsurprisingly,,
economically
disadvantaged
communities
also
have
fewer
trees
and,
as
a
result,
increased
vulnerability
to
environmental
and
health
impacts..
So
we
are
going
to
show
some
ways
in
which
we've
been
able
to
disaggregate
the
data
and
hopefully
start
making
an
impact.
There.
city,
staffing
and
maintenance
is
underfunded
and
very
low
compared
to
equivalent
cities,
and,
fortunately,
again
in
the
fbi,
twenty
to
twenty
three
budget.
We
had
significant
enhancements
to
our
program
for
the
first
time
in
a
long
time
and
I
think
have
made
some
pretty
significant
progress..
J
There
are
a
few
more
recommendations
there..
I
just
want
to
again
point
to
the
inventory
for
public
space
and
street
trees
as
needed..
We
have
an
inventory
from
2014
but,
as
you
can
imagine,
that
is
now
outdated,
so
we're
going
to
need
to
update
it.
we've
been
updating
it
here
and
there,
but
we're
going
to
need
to
take
some
substantial
action
to
make
sure
we
update
the
whole
thing
at
once..
It
might
be
hard
to.
J
See
it's
a
little
washed
out
here,
but
we've
got
a
couple
of
maps
that
reflect
the
updated
data..
So
the
report
went
through
twenty
eighteen..
We
had
our
staff
look
at
twenty
twenty
and
then
there
was
also
redistricting
that
occurred
in
twenty
twenty
two.
So
we
show
to
the
figure
one.
We
show
the
updated
council
districts
and
the
canopy
cover
there
again.
The
green
is
basically
fifteen
percent
or
over
it's
kind
of
hard
to
see,
and
then
we've
kind
of
been
experimenting
with
new
ways
to
visualize
the
data
to
the
right
there.
J
J
When
you
look
at
what
it
looks
like
by
census.
Block,,
you
can
learn
a
lot
more
from
that
level
of
detail.
and
when
you
overlay
what
we've
done
here,
as
you
can
see,
the
orange
outlines
we've
overlaid
a
commonly
used
layer
to
show
equity
in
dhoti
programs,
the
equity
priority
communities
as
outlined
by
the
metropolitan
transportation.
Commission.,
so
you
can
see
finding
who,
from
the
previous
slide
is,
is
pretty
much
validated
by
this..
J
J
You
can
see
the
objectives
and
I'm
not
going
to
read
each
one,
but
the
light
blue
ones
were
essentially
areas
that
we
focused
our
first
couple
of
years
of
effort
on..
If
you
look
at
this
and
the
audit
and
audit
the
audit
is
attachment,
be
of
the
memo.
The
report
or
the
strategic
work
plan
is
attachment
a
you
can
see
that
a
lot.
There
is
a
lot
of
overlap
between
the
audit
recommendations,,
the
work
that
we've
accomplished
and
kind
of
our
strategies
and
our
priorities
in
the
immediate
years
to
come..
J
So
I
just
want
to
before
I
hand
it
over
to
our
new
city.
Forester,
see
former
program
manager,
sara
davis..
I
also
want
to
highlight
that
the
staff,
while
they
were
dealing
while
they
were
trying
to
make
progress
on
all
of
these
fronts,
responded
to
the
largest
storm
anyone
can
remember
in
january.
It
was
the
same
the
same
steps.
J
we've
got
a
couple
of
members
of
the
forestry
team
in
the
audience
and
I
just
want
to
acknowledge
the
work
that
they
did
on
that
front,
in
addition
to
all
of
the
large
strategic
differences
that
that
the
team
has
made
in
this
first
year,
actually
really
the
first
six
months
since
we've
had
a
team..
So
with
that
handover.,
sara
davis,
hi..
Thank
you.
K
K
K
K
K
Are
working
on
doing
a
complete
street
tree
inventory
so
submitted
for
some
federal
grants
to
see
if
we
can't
get
that
that
money
in
to
pay
for
that
and
we're
going
to
update
our
core
metrics?
So
we
can
come
back
with
an
annual
report
every
year
to
to
say
this
is
the
work
that
we
accomplished,,
that
sort
of
thing
as
well
as.
K
K
K
Of
the
problem
we
have,
we
can't
really
forecast
very
well
when
that
money
is
going
to
come
in
..
So
we
may
review
a
plan
that
establishes
a
certain
dollar
amount..
We
great
approved
it,
but
that
project
might
not
get
built
for
say
another
three
to
five
years
and
it
isn't
until
those
building
permits
are
issued,
then
that
fee
is
paid
so
so
it
can
be
kind
unpredictable
and
it
looks
like
we're
not
spending
money,
but
I
assure
you
that
you
definitely
are.
K
right.,
so
we
have
spent
so
far
in
this
fiscal
year-
a
little
over
half
a
million
dollars
in
planting
trees
and
as
well
as
holding
a
reserve
for
the
establishment
of
those
trees
for
the
next
three
years.,
so
making
sure
that
they
get
watered
and
they'll
be
successful,.
We
changed
some
of
process
a
little
bit
now.
K
K
L
L
L
M
M
peevski
oversees
the
approval
and
planning
of
tree
replacement
for
trees,
proposed
removal,
planting
on
private
property
as
ricks
covid
his
previous
slides..
Pvc
has
multiple
permanent
types
depending
on
the
types
of
property
whether
their
tree
qualifies
as
dead,
unsuitable.
A
live
tree,
the
city
audience
defines
an
audience
high
street.
M
As
a
tree.
More
than
thirty
eight
inches
circumference,
measured
four
and
a
half
feet
above
the
ground..
We
generally
require
discretionary
payments
for
those
trees
unless
those
trees
are
dead
or
unsuitable,
which
they
may
be
removed
with
an
administrative
permit..
The
audit
recommended
improvements
for
tracking
and
following
up
on
trees
that
were
slated
as
replacements
for
trees
removed
on
site..
What
the
audit
found
was
a
lack
of
training
and
expertize
in
the
assessment
of
the
trees
in
the
planning
department,
and
this
led
to
inconsistencies
in
the
evaluation
trees
proposed
for
removal.
M
pdc
has
started
to
address
these
issues
by
working
with
utility
arbor's
to
provide
early
referral
to
them
and
incorporate
them
as
part
of
the
permit
routing
system.
additionally,.
Our
permitting
system
now
includes
an
information
field
to
track
the
number
of
trees
to
be
removed
and
require
replacements
on
site..
This
includes
both
a
way
to
submit
proof
of
planting
and
verification
from
staff
and
the
ability
to
run
reports
to
users
follow
up
and
potentially
hold
up
any
future
permits
until
the
replacement
trees
are
resolved.
M
With
duty
we're
working
to
create
a
draft,
a
new
tree
replacement
policy
and
conducting
outreach,
as
well
as
examine
the
fee
schedule,
to
ensure
permanent
feasible,,
fair
to
applicants
and,
to
the
extent
possible
cost
recovery
for
the
work
required
for
the
evaluation
of
these
three
applications
and
verification
planning
would
like
to
acknowledge
that
the
development
of
new
tree
policies
would
not
be
an
easy
task..
It
has
a
balance
both
our
general
planning
policies
that
encourage
denser
developments
and
avoids
the
edge
of
the
city..
M
The
spaces
in
these
urban
developments
have
a
lot
of
competing
interests,
such
as
active
open
space,
landscaping,
installed
water
treatment..
Our
goal
is
to
develop
a
policy
that
makes
applicants
think
critically
and
creatively
about
how
to
meet
all
these
goals,
while
preserving
our
existing
tree
canopy
pass
onto
the
next
slide
..
So
what
are
we
going
to
do?.
K
Moving
forward?
so
this
year
will
pit
that
two
thousand
new
trees
planted
mark.
we're
going
to
update
a
portion
of
our
street
tree
inventory
and
we're
looking
for
funding
to
maintain
our
urban
forest..
We
did
submit
an
inflation
reduction
act,
a
grant
application
to
the
us
forest
service
for
about
eight
point:
six
dollars
million..
So
hopefully
we'll
hear
how
that
turns.
Out.
we
do
have
our.
K
New
maintenance
contract
for
tree
services-
that's
about
ready
to
go
out
to
bid
on
the
street
and
we're
going
to
work
on
drafting
a
tree
replacement
paula,,
so
there'll
be
fewer
questions..
Also,
our
advisory
committee
is
going
to
be
working
on
some
outreach
strategies,
so
that
group
will
help
influence
how
we
go
forward
with
our
education
campaign
from
cal
fire.
That's
coming
in
around
about
two
hundred
fifty
thousand.
so
are
super
excited
for
that..
C
B
Oh,
it's
my
my
hi.,
we're
big
man.
uh,,
I'm
going
to
try
for
some
first
tough
words
here
at
first
and
then
go
into
a
more
regular
understanding
of
things.
um,.
I
think,
uh,
we've
been
working
really
hard.
we're
beakman
here.
uh,.
I
think
we've
been
working
really
hard
in
the
past
few
years
to
understand
potential.
B
Natural
disaster
here
in
the
bay
area.-
and
I
think,
we've
done
some
interesting
work.-
we've
done
some
good
work
and
in
that
good
work
in
preparing
for
natural
disasters,
we're
also
asking
can
we
actually
mitigate,
uh,
natural
disasters
happening
sooner
and
put
them
off
till
later?,
and
so
I
think.
B
We're
doing
that.,
I
personally
feel
we're
accomplishing
that..
I
used
to
feel
very
much
we're
going
to
have
major
worries
at
the
end
of
this
year
about
earthquake
issues..
I
feel
a
bit
more
comfortable
about
that
now
that
that's
not
going
to
happen..
That's,
not
the
case.,
I'm
not
positive,
but
I'm
hopeful.
um,
when
you're
talking
about
funding
items
for
this,
uh,.
It
reminds
me
this.
B
With
that
and
around
it,
and
just
to
thank
you
so
much
that
you're
working
on
this
issue
and
that,
hopefully
you
can
get
the
funding
and
we
can
build
trees.
uh,,
it's
my
personal
feeling.
East
side
of
san
jose
has
a
different
history
than
the
west
side
of
san
josé
in
terms
of
its
bay
area.
Marsh
uh,
conditions.,
but
I
know
magdalena
carrasco
has
done
some
really
interesting
work
as
well
on
three
issues
and
that,.
B
You
worked
a
lot
with
cal.,
oh
yes.,
who
should
have
lots
of
ideas
about
preparedness
practices
overall.
thanks
for
listening.
thank
you.
back
to.
N
N
Which
was
among
the
five
lowest
with
canopy's
here,
five
lowest
districts
with
canopy's
here.,
but
unfortunately,
in
the
most
recent
statistic,
our
candidate
has
reduced
to
ten
point:
zero,
five
percent,
which
is
very
troubling
for
me
and,
of
course,
my
constituents,
knowing
that
you
know,
this
is
the
reality.
I
look
forward
to
collaborating
with
staff
and
you
know,
no
nonprofits-
that
work
in
this
field
to
come
up
with
creative
solutions
that
will
begin
to
address
both
the
lack
of
canopy
and
health
related
issues
that
may
arise
due
to
the
lack
of
canopy..
But.
N
Something
that
I
saw
in
the
statistic
says:
multiple
districts
within
the
city
of
san
jose's
canopies
are
starting
to
reduce.,
so
we
should
be
keeping
that
in
mind
as
we
are
allocating
and
making
strategies
towards
the
overall
strategy..
I
just
think,
you
know,,
the
canopies
are
extremely
important,
especially
as
we're
going
into
the
summer.
you
know,.
They
have
the
tendency
to
reduce
temperatures
and,
overall,
I
believe,
city
time
and
staff
time
spent
on
reducing
forestry.
N
O
You.
um,,
first
of
all,,
I
want
to
thank
you
for
the
report
and
uh,.
Just
I
just
want
to
give
kudos..
I
think
you
guys
have
made
a
ton
of
progress
just
in
a
very
short
time
and
are
taking
the
recommendations
from
the
audit
very
seriously,
and
I
really
appreciate
it.,
almost
two
thousand
trees
already
and
since
the
since
the
audit,.
O
A
I
want
to
thank
you
also
for
the
progress..
I
mean
it's,
it's
quite
a
change
in
terms
of
what
we're
doing,
since
we
had
the
conversation
back
in
january
and
it's
nice
nice
to
see.
I
do
have
a
question
a
little
bit
about
the
methodology
on
your
tree.
Canopy
cover
data..
Has
the
methodology
change
in
addition
to
some
of
the
geography
changing?.
J
We
haven't
changed
the
methodology
from
twenty
eighteen
to
twenty
twenty
and
I
think
if
in
future
reports,
if
that
changes
or
we
use
a
different
source
of
truth,
that'll
be
annotated
so
that
just
like
with
our
payment
program,
you
know
we,
we
redid
something
we'll
make
sure
that
that's
marked
so
that
it's
apples
to
apples
comparison
or
as
close
as
can
be..
So
the.
A
A
A
Kind
of
surprised
me
to
see
it
change
that
much.,
not
that
I
have
any
way
of
telling
who
has
more
trees
and
I'm
just
kind
of
curious
as
to
how
you
know
what
led
to
that.
obviously,,
you
know,
different
areas
of
land
that
moved
and
we
had.
We
had
a
golf
course:
that's
no
longer
there,
and
maybe
just
the
golf
course
itself,.
You
know,
had
a
lot
of
open
space
that
no
longer
that
took
lower
tree
canopy
out
and
therefore
changed
a
number.,
but
I'm
just
or
you
know,.
A
A
All
the
work
you're
doing.,
it's
making
progress.,
it
looks
great,
although
the
numbers
are
still
declining
and
obviously
that
could
be
methodology.
it's.
We
know
it's
because
of
tree
disease
and
other
things
that
are
happening
and
in
development
and
other
things
that
kind
are
bigger
than
than
the
tree
program..
But
thank
you
for
the
work
you're
doing,
and
I
now
I
pledge
to
to
you
know,.
A
A
Where,
if
they
take
out
a
tree
to
replace
it
with
three
to
five
trees?
But
yet
if
they
have
a
tree,
that's
an
inappropriate
type
of
tree
and
it's
causing
a
big
mess
and
they
want
to
replace
it,.
They
don't
have
room
to
put
in
three
trees.,
it's
replacement,
but
but
the
policy
says
they
have
to
which
means
they
don't
do
the
work..
And
so
I'm
wondering
if
we
want,
if
we
don't.
If
somebody
has
a
comment
on
that
or
and
what
we
might
do
when
it
comes
to
that
policy
for
different
types
of
properties..
A
M
The
idea
is
that
when
the
multifamily
came
forward,
it
was
a
master
plan
and
include
a
landscaping
plan,
whereas
a
single
family
could
have
just
been,
incidentally,
planted
or
just
happened
haphazardly,
so
that
there
was
a
conscious
effort
by
council
to
allow
them
in
a
one
to
one
ratio,
whereas
multifamily
there
may
be
more
common
space.
other
areas
that
you
know,,
typical
single
family
may
not
be
able
to
accommodate.,
so
the
ratio
are
treated
the
same
for
them
as
commercial,
any
that
a
development
is
the
primary
reason..
M
So
as
we're
going
forward,
we're
looking
at
how
to
reexamine
the
policy
and
how
to
be
more
fair.,
but
at
once
again
in
planning
it's
a
very
hard
position,
because
the
general
plan
is
in
current
years
to
build
denser
encouraging
is
make
use
of
the
core
spaces
and
to
really
limit
our
development
on
the
edges.
So
it
really
becomes
competing
interests..
So
that's
why
that's
one
of
the
policy
that's
taking
the
longest?
Is
that
replacement
is?
M
How
do
you
balance
fairness,
as
well
as
encouraging
a
canopy
or
balancing
a
plethora
of
different
general
plan
policies
that
encourages
growth,
but
that's
the
primary
reason.?
It
was
the
idea
that
there
was
a
master
plan
as
part
of
the
overall
development
and
there's.
Some
assumptions
were
made
that
they
may
have
more
room.
M
A
Understand
that,
but
for
a
multifamily
development,
that's
an
existing
development,
that's
years
old
that
has
in
way
they're
not
going
to
pay
in
lieu
fee
and
they're
not
going
to
be
able
to
have
space
necessarily
to
plant
multiple
trees
to
replace
trees..
So
I'm
just
I'm
talking
about
maybe
more
specific
use
case,
not
necessarily
for
a
new
development..
Clearly,
a
new
development.:
we
want
to
follow
these
these
rules,
because
the
developer
has
to
pay
these
new
fees
and
make
sure
we
get
an
extra
trees.,
but
I'm
talking
about
a
long
time
existing.
A
They've
told
us:
well,
we
can't
we
can't
upgrade
our
trees
or
make
any
changes
because
of
this
policy..
So
I
just
want
to
flag
that
and
maybe
think
about
how
we
treat
different
kinds
of
properties
so
that
we
encourage
doing
the
right
thing.
you
know,.
We
also
are
trying
to
just
upgrade
species
and
make
them
more
locally
appropriate,
and
they
know
that
some
of
them
will
say.
Hey,
we'd
like
to
take
out
this
kind
of
tree
and
put
a
different
one,
but
we
can't,
I
guess
that's.
D
Your
presentation.,
it
doesn't
feel
that
it
was
just
a
year
ago
that
we
talked
about
this..
It
feels
like
it's
been
a
lot
longer
than
that.,
but
I'm
I'm
certainly
impressed
with
the
progress
you're
making
on
planting
trees
in
our
city
and-
and
it
is
all
because
of
council
member
cohen
and
his
initiative
and
his
challenge
really
10000
trees..
But
I.
D
Have
I
have
a
question
for
you
regarding
the
replacement
of
trees
on
residential
properties.?
You
mentioned
something
about
if
the
tree
is
dead,
that
they
use
an
administrative
process
that
is
different
than
if
they're
removing
a
tree
that
hasn't
died..
To
tell
me
the
distinction,
and
how
are
they
to?
M
That's
probably
one
of
the
big
area
we
had
ray
was
analyzing
in
trees
as
well
as
is
it
really
dead
right,
where
that
is
missing
and
a
little
inconsistency.?
So
if
a
tree
is
dead,,
usually
photographic,
proof
of
the
tree
that
it's
not
a
tree
that
just
loses
leaves
during
the
winter
and
they
think
that
it's
dead,,
then
we
do
allow
them
to
go
through
an
administrative
process
as
a
cheaper
permit
and
usually
a
much
easier
ratio
one
to
one..
M
Trees
that
do
not
qualify
under
that
or
unsuited
or
unsuitable
tree
species,
but
those
are
specifically
asking
volume
they
had
to
go
through
a
legitimate
process..
The
idea
is,
we
don't
want
people
just
to
remove
a
tree,
because
I
just
want
to
use
my
back
patio
when
you
can
look
at
the
entire
neighborhood,
where
there's
a
bunch
of
oak
trees
or
other
big
trees
and
kind
of
provide
a
lot
of
canopy,
a
lot
of
benefits
to
the
city.
M
Overall,
they
had
to
go
through
a
live
tree,
removal
process
where
they
had
to
meet
certain
findings,
the
trees
and
deteriorating
health..
There's
no
way
of
preserving
the
trees.
there's
no
way
of
mitigating
the
tree
is
disease
and
certain
kind
of
way,
or
I
I'm
going
to
add
in
addition
to
the
house
and
there's
no
other
way
of
building
around
it
other
than
the
removal
the
tree.
M
It
gives
us
a
public
hearing
process
where
it
is
transparent
to
the
public
on
why
the
tree
is
being
proposed,
removed
in
general,
it's
notice
to
the
neighborhood
and
is
approved
that
way.
however,.
If
anybody
in
the
surrounding
neighborhood
objects
to
that
or
has
some
questions,
they
can
ask
for
a
hearing..
That
process
was
updated
about
four
or
five
years
ago,
whereas
before
every
single
project
that
was
alive,
she
had
to
go
to
a
public
hearing.
ok,,
but
a
dead
tree,.
D
M
however,
with
turnover
in
time
happens:
emails
get
lost
in
the
shuffle.;
it
was
really
hard
to
keep
track
of
that..
So
what
we've
done
now
is
our
permitting
system
is
marked
those
that
would
say
that
if
it's
not
shown
verification
which
is
either
submitted
online
or
emailed
directly
to
the
project
manager,,
there
will
be
a
mark
on
that
property.
Says:
hey
we're!
Coming
back
to
you
and
saying
where's
history
has
been
planted
or
not.
so
that
when
the
permit
expires,
we
verify
either
they
didn't
cut
down
the
tree
because
they
changed
their
mind..
M
Tree
permits
are
valid
for
one
or
two
years
and
they're
supposed
or
applying
a
tree
within
three
months
of
the
removal.
however,.
There
are
other
cases
for
bigger
sites
where
they
need
to
remove
it
because
they
had
to
do
grading,
work
or
other
aspects
which
may
take
a
little
longer.,
so
the
conditions
are
varying
depending
on
the
type
of
projects.
ok,.
Thank
you,
all.
P
P
I
Folks,
come
on
up
ramdas
madou
division
manager,
department,
transportation.,
we've
got
john
salomone.
he's
a
senior
transportation
planner
at
valley
transportation,
authority.
we're
going
to
talk
about
the
countywide
transportation
plan
valley,
transportation
plan..
So
I
think
ramsey's
is
going
to
tee
it
up
and
then
john
will
take
it.
Away.
thanks.
on
afternoon.
Q
And
what
we
do
is
we
bring
various
transportation
planning
items
to
you,
whatever
kind
of
hot
and
active
as
we're
coming
up
with
the
agenda
right
now
we
have
a
very
important,
uh,
transportation
piece
coming
in,
which
is
the
valley,
transportation
plan,
update.
um,,
and
for
those
of
you
who
have
paid
attention
to
transportation
in
the
south
bay,.
This
report
sets
the
groundwork
for
where
major
investment
are
going
to
go
over
the
next
coming
years..
That
can
be
mean
the
next
two
years
or
it
can
mean
in
the
next
ten
years..
Q
But
this
is
the
kind
of
the
place
where
a
lot
of
large
projects
start,
and
it's
really
important
for
us
all
to
really
have
a
good
handle
on
what's
in
there,,
how
it
works,
and
all
of
that
john
is
going
to
hear
from
vta,
is
managing
that
for
vti
and
is
going
to
dove
in
and
give
us
some
context
and
details
around
that.
thank
you,,
khafaja.
thanks..
Thanks
for.
R
Is
it's
the
long
range
vision
for
transportation
within
santa
clara
county.?
This
is
kind
of
our
plan
for
our
county,,
our
vision..
It
looks
out
to
the
year
2050
as
ramsay's
mentioned.
It
could
contain
projects
program
strategies
that
not
only
can
we
can
we
address
in
the
next
five
years,
but
beyond
that,
so
we
want
to
kind
of
set
the
groundwork
for
that..
The
last
plan
we
actually
updated
was
back
in
twenty
fourteen.,
so
it's
been
quite
a
while,
since
we've
updated
a
valid
transportation
plan
and
a
lot
of
things
have
happened..
R
Mtc
has
developed
the
plan
bay
area,
which
is
the
long
range
transportation
vision
for
the
nine
county
bay
area..
So
this
is
a
subset
of
that
and
we
started
this
back
in
late,
twenty
twenty
two
with
some
initial
outreach
and
development
of
goals,
and
we
did
that
in
coordination
with
the
transit
vision
process,
known
as
the
visionary
network
for
transit,
which
we
kind
of
partnered
up
with
that's
going
to
serve
as
the
transit
vision..
R
R
R
R
barria
date,
and
I
have
a
slide
on
that
later
on
and
that
the
reason
we
have
those
projects
in
there
is
that
it
gives
it
more
visibility
for
discretionary
funding..
So
for
example,
there
are
state
and
federal
grants
that
are
going
to
be
coming
up
in
the
next
few
years..
We
want
to
make
sure
that
projects
are
actually
contained
in
the
plan
and
we
can
point
to
the
plan
to
get
some
of
those
projects
funded
and
then
later
on.
We
will.
R
Also
again
continue
to
do
our
public
outreach
with
our
projects,
the
projects
that
we
develop.
we'll
be
taking
that
to
the
public.,
we'll
also
going
to
work
with
our
board,
as
well
as
our
member
agencies,
to
look
at
other
strategies
that
we
can
implement
in
the
life
of
the
plan,
and
some
of
those
strategies
are
really
kind
of
captured
in
a
lot
of
the
city
work
that
the
city
has
done.
R
R
R
Them
to
determine
what
projects
move
forward
in
the
plan.,
so
as
you
can
see,
they're,
really
wonderful,
focused
on
making
our
transit
system
faster..
One
of
the
things
that
the
city
of
san
jose
did
was
approve
transit
for
its
policy,,
which
is
something
that
I
think
the
only
city
in
the
county
that
has
done
that..
So
we
want
to
look
at
strategies
such
as
that
to
help
increase
the
frequency
of
our
transit
system..
We
want
to
look
at
prioritizing
active
transportation,
so
we
want
to
get
away
our
focus
from
driving..
R
R
R
Your
users
around
transit.,
you
want
to
make
sure
that
transit
is
kind
of
what
takes
place
in
those
communities.,
we're
also
working
on
a
climate
action
and
adaptation
plan
for
vti..
We
want
to
address
the
climate
emergency
by
reducing
transportation
emissions
and
that's
really
looking
at
ways
we
can
get
more
people
on
in
transit
or
get
more
people
biking
and
walking
away
from
cars..
R
We
also
want
to
do
things
that
support
equity
in
transportation
and
really
a
lot
of
this
focus
was
on
racial
equity
and
looking
at
communities
that
are
being
underserved
and
finding
out
better
ways
to
serve
the
community.
one
of
the
ways
that
we're
doing
that
is
we're
currently
undertaking
a
community
based
transportation
plan
process
and.
R
R
It's
just
being
safer
on
our
bus
stops.,
and
then
we
also
want
to
do
things
to
pursue
safe
and
reliable
travel
on
highways.
Expressways..
There
are
a
number
of
highway
projects
that
we
have
in
our
long
range
plan.
That
also
benefit
our
cities..
Here
we
are
there's
quite
a
few
projects
in
the
city
of
san
jose
that
we're
look
at
improving
efficiency
at
the
interchanges
and
making
it
safer
for
people
on
that..
So.
R
R
That's
that's
been
in
the
plan,
the
last
time.,
so
we
want
continue
looking
at
projects
like
that,
working
on
things
around
stevens,
creek
and
other
projects
that
are
you
know,
that
we've
already
captured.
we're
also
based
on
the
project
list
of
them,
and
we
will
be
doing
again
more
public
outreach..
We
want
to
share
the
list
of
ideas
that
we
have
from
every
agencies
and
get
feedback
from
the
public
on
them.
Too.
and
again,.
That's
what's
going
to
happen,
is
that's
going
to
get
approved
by
our
board,
and
why
is
that?
R
R
So
this
actually
kind
of
puts
our
plan
in
kind
of
a
good
timeline
to
kind
of
align.
With
this
effort,
that's
coming
up.,
and
so
the
plan
area
is
actually
looking
at
the
nine
county
bay
area..
So
it's
not
just
our
county,
we're
going
to
be
competing
with
the
other
counties
on
projects
and
programs
that
we
would
hope
to
get
funded.,
and,
like
I
mentioned
in
the
last
plan,
we
did
have
the
airport
people
mover.
R
we've
had
the
stephens
creek
project.,
there's
a
couple
of
projects
on
us,
one
on
one
zenker
support
for
street
fourth
street
that
we're
looking
at
implementing
and
we
also
are
going
to
be
adding
new
projects.
So
there'll
be
projects
along
the
monterey
corridor
and
other
corridors
complete
streets,
and
I
think
we're
going
to
add
something
on
bascome..
So
there's
going
to
be
quite
a
few
things
that
we
will
add
to
this
next
update.
and
so.
R
We've
already
initiated
discussion
with
city
staff
on
some
of
the
projects
that
are
currently
in
the
plan.
bay
area,
right
now.,
so
we're
working
on
cost
updates
for
those
projects..
A
lot
of
those
projects
are
actually
really
expensive..
Projects
are
two
hundred
fifty
million
dollars
and
above..
So
those
are
the
things
that
we're
working
with
city
staff
on
right
now
to
get
project
cost
updates
to
mtc
by.
R
R
R
R
List
for
submitted
to
the
plan.,
and
once
we
get
those
projects
submitted,
we
can
then
kind
of
concentrate
on
looking
at
how
these
projects,
how
we
can
strategize
those
projects,
influence
the
plan.
The
next
you
know,
next
twenty,
thirty
years.,
but
I
also
want
to
note
that
this
is
not
the
only
time
we
update
the
plan.
we're
going
to
be
on
a
schedule
after
this
cycle
to
update
it
every
five
or
so
once
the
plan
gets
adopted
in
twenty
four
twenty
four
likely
a
year
after
that.
R
B
B
B
Interested
as
you
probably
well
know
how
we
can
talk
about
a
future
open
and
accountability
practices
with
there's
going
to
be
a
lot
of
technology
involved
in
all
of
this
planning
and
concepts
of
public
safety..
That
I
really.
B
Try
to
make
clear
that
that
openness
and
accountability,
attack
and
public
safety
there's
a
future
where
they
really
can
work
hand
in
hand,
and
then
I
think
those
are
the
ideas
of
community
harmony
that
we're
really
trying
to
work
towards
with
vision,
zero
things
that
when
you
work
with
accountability
and
openness,
you
just
you
invite
a
better
sense
of
community
for
the
process
for
all
of
these
things,
you're
talking
about.,
so
you
know,
a
few
years
ago.
You
couldn't
really
talk
about
equity
in
conversation.
B
B
What
projects
we
actually
need
and
how
it
actually
can
function
well
in
a
community.,
and
when
we
marry
those
two
subjects
together,,
I
think
we'll
we'll
be
working
in
a
much
more
interesting
future
that
I
hope
you
want
you
better
talk
about
and
more
talk
about
in
the
future.
This
sort
of
planning.
thank
you.
A
There's
been,
there's
been
talk
from
mtc
about
per
mile.
A
R
R
They're
kind
of
working
on
or
at
this
moment,
they're
actually
working
on
some
strategies
based
on
that
that
the
public
outreach
that
they
got
and
they're
going
to
be.
Sharing
that
with
the
working.
I
don't
have
the
details
of
that
right
now..
I
think
that's
probably
coming
the
next
couple
of
weeks
or
so.
ok,,
but
that
will
be.
A
Q
Absolutely.
so
first
we've
already
been
having
discussions
with
all
of
your
offices.
right.
and
our
multi-modal
transportation
improvement
plans
are
supposed
to
be
the
expression
of
those
or
other
planning
actions..
So,
for
example,
in
your
district,
the
great
separation
of
north
first
street
light
rail
project
is
in.
Q
There,
and
is
something
that
we're
pushing
to
to
get
prioritized
that
much
more
so
than
initial
planning
can
happen,
start
happening,
particularly
in
that
right
across
the
expressways.
There..
So
absolutely
we'll
make
sure
we're
coming
to
you
talking
about
what
projects
we
think
should
be
there
as
well
as
as,
if
you
guys
have
ideas
on
top
of
what
we
already
have,
and
this
is.
A
R
Going
to
be
combined.
uh,,
so
it's
going
to
be
not
just
it's
all
the
transportation,
so
not
just
transit
projects,
but
definitely
other
highway
projects..
In
fact,
we've
already
last
week,
I
think
we
talked
to
dottie
already
about
some
of
the
major
ones
that
have
been
included
in
our
measure
b
program,.
Some
of
those
interchange
improvements
as
part
of
the
list
and
some
of.
A
A
L
A
L
L
Know
a
great
city
has
great
infrastructure..
We
also
know
that
our
infrastructure
faces
four
challenges:
the
need
to
rehabilitate
an
aging
infrastructure,,
the
need
to
meet
the
needs
of
a
growing
population
and
the
need
to
mitigate
climate
change,
while
also
becoming
more
resilient
and
adaptable
to
that
climate
change..
So,
following
the
march
budget
message
direction,
mayor
and
city
council,
we
are
coming
to
you
today
with
an
infrastructure
strategy
that
addresses
those
challenges
and
also
includes
much
of
the
ongoing
work
that
was
part
of
the
enterprise
priority..
So
it
is
a
little
bit
of
background.
L
As
we've
talked
about
in
the
strategy
addresses
in
more
detail
colleague,
it
sounds
a
state
actually
put
it
very
well
recently.
He
said
climate
change
is
humanity's
final
exam
for
our
course
on
collective
action
problem
solving
at
the
global
scale.
in
this
chart.
Here
you
can
see
the
correlation
between
increased
emissions
and
increased
temperature.
Change.
again,
correlation
is
not
necessarily
causality,
but
we
have
a
great
deal
of
scientific
evidence
and
consensus
around
the
fact
that
in
this
case,
it
actually
is.
L
L
She
has
the
premise
that
we
are
both
simultaneously
overshooting
the
capacity
of
the
planet
and
have
shortfalls
on
the
necessity
of
the
people.,
and
so
we
have
to
solve
both
of
those
problems
simultaneously,
because
we
love
the
planet
and
we
love
the
people
that
are
in
them.
And
this
gives
us
this
narrow,
donut
the
space
that
we
have
to
create
the
safe
just
space
for
humanity.
In
her
words,
in
order
to
do
all
of.
L
This
we
need
to
shift
our
thinking.
We
have
to
change
our
mindsets
from
departmental
to
systems.
Thinking
from
short
term
to
longer
term
from
past
is
prolog
to
modeling
likely
futures
and
expanding
beyond
merely
sustainability
to
full
adaptation,
as
well
as
finding
bold
and
innovative
approaches
to
funding
what
will
be
a
very
expensive
piece
of
work.
L
There's
a
lot
to
do
so,
we
have
to
focus
in
addition
to
the
needs
of
the
planet
and
the
people..
We
asked
two
key
questions:
what
is
core
for
us
as
the
city
of
san
jose
and
what
is
potentially
transformative,
if
done
at
scale
or
at
least
has
a
significant
return
on
investment
in
terms
of
the
work
that
we
do,
that.
L
S
Good
afternoon,
erika
garofoli,
resilient
strategist.,
so,
as
kip
mentioned
before,
we
jump
into
the
forthcoming
city
infrastructure.
Strategy,
just
wanted
to
remind
you
of
where
we
left
off
with
the
sustainable
and
resilient
city
infrastructure
and
emergency
preparedness,
enterprise
priority..
So
as
a
reminder,.
The
work
of
this
enterprise
priority
alliance
projects
across
environmental
services,,
public
works,,
community
energy,
transportation,
information,
technology
planning,
building
code
enforcement
departments,
as
well
as
the
city
managers,
offices
of
emergency
management
and
intergovernmental
relations..
So
the
enterprise
priority
is
organized
under
five
objectives.
S
You
could
see
here
across
the
top
disaster
ready
and
climate,
smart
infrastructure,
resilience,,
clean,
energy,,
resilience,
water
resilience
and
natural
environment
restoration..
These
five
objectives
are
supported
by
18
work
streams
that
comprise
the
highest
priority
initiatives,
and
we
have
been
returning
to
this
committee
on
a
quarterly
basis
to
report
out
on
key
results
in
each
of
these
work
streams
and
also
to
share
some
of
the
highlights
from
the
work.
So
that
in
mind,
I.
S
S
Each
workstream
driver
to
commit
to
one
or
more
deliverables
that
they
plan
on
accomplishing
in
each
workstream
each
quarter.
We
call
these
results
and
at
the
end
of
the
quarter
we
score
ourselves
on
whether
or
not
we
accomplished
what
we
said
we
would.
so
green
means
we
got
it
all
done.
yellow
means
we
got
most
of
it
accomplished
and
red
means
we
missed
the
mark.
S
S
Through
march,
twenty
twenty
three
overall
five
of
our
work
streams
completed
their
commitments
in
full
seven
work,
streams
completed
more
than
60
percent
and
another
three
work
streams
completed
less
than
60
percent
of
their
proposed
key
results..
It
was
a
very
busy
quarter,
as
departments
were
putting
together
budget
proposals
which
we'll
dig
into
on
a
subsequent
slide.
um,.
But
I
wanted
to
highlight
a
couple
of
our
green
key
results
on
this
next
slide.
So
I
want
to.
S
Highlight
deliverables
from
two
work
streams
seek
new
state,
federal
funding
and
policy
and
understanding
sea
level
rise
because
they
have
been
working
together..
So
first,
our
intergovernmental
relations
team
worked
with
valley
water
to
lobby
congress
and
include
ninety
one
point:
two
million
dollars
in
the
national
defense
authorization
act
which
went
through
in
february
of
this
year.
S
that
additional
sum
will
be
used
for
the
shoreline
levee
project,
helping
to
ensure
that
the
full
project
will
be
completed,
which
in
turn
leads
to
the
second
workstream
understanding
sea
level
rise
because
of
the
work
by
the
intergovernmental
relations
team
and
subsequent
infusion
of
resources,.
We
were
then
able
to
restart
the
conversation
with
valley,
water
and
the
state
coastal
conservancy
on
the
design
of
the
final
two
levee
breaches
or
segments.
um,.
S
So,
just
to
put
this
in
perspective,
when
the
shoreline
levee
is
completed,
we
will
have
protected
the
regional
wastewater
facility.,
the
community
of
alviso
and
much
of
north
san
jose
from
sea
level
rise.
It
is
difficult
to
understate
just
how
existential
the
need
for
protection
against
sea
level
rise
is
for
san
jose,
and
the
work
of
these
teams
have
helped
us
in
a
significant
and
meaningful
way..
So
I'll
turn
it
back
to
kip
to
walk
us
through
the
next
segment
of
the
presentation..
Ok,.
L
,,
so
we're
going
to
take
it
from
this
enterprise
and
we're
going
to
evolve
it
into
city
infrastructure,
infrastructure.
Strategy..
There
are
about
eight
changes
here..
This
will
not
be
on
the
quiz
and
I'll
do
this
fairly
quickly..
But
if
we
have
questions,
we
can
always
come
back.
so
of
the
changes.
The
first
one
is
we're
pulling
out
three
work
streams,
not
because
they're
not
important,
but
because
they
are
foley
mature
and
have
ongoing
ways
of
reporting
to
council
independent
of
the
strategy..
L
L
Take
those
systems
and
take
a
more
utility
based
approach
to
managing
them..
Then
we
are
merging
some
of
the
work
streams
related
to
municipal
electrical
micro
grids
and
downtown
electrification
into
this
one
on
municipal
micro
grids
and
electrical
service.,
and
we
are
revising
the
work
streams
or
the
names
of
the
work
streams
such
as
the
sea
level.
Rise.
we're,
including
the
shoreline
leave
work
to
appropriately
effect,
reflect
the
needed
build
out
and
we
are
explicitly
adding
the
city's
fleet
to
our
work
on
electrification
for
charging
infrastructure..
L
L
Then
our
recommended
infrastructure
strategy
before
you
we
now
have
five
objectives,
are
slightly
different
than
before
and
sixteen
work
streams,
but
we've
added
in
the
entire
focus
around
transportation
and
aviation.
These
are
all
then
the
most
important
change
initiatives
that
we
see
needing
to
focus
on
over
the
next
12
18
months
to
two
to
three
years.
L
L
An
three
guiding
principles
that
we've
identified
for
this
strategy.
one
is
addressing
inequity.
second,
is
identifying
new
funding,
which
goes
from
being
a
workstream
to
being
an
underlying
guiding
principle
and
three
building
the
team
to
deliver
as
we
need
to
scale
the
size
of
the
organization,
especially
clean
energy,
and
deal
with
significant
transitions.
environmental
services
and
in
the
public
works
departments.
The
one
I
want
to
touch
on
a
little
more
detail
is
addressing
inequity..
L
We
feel
that
very
strongly
that
the
historical
investments
in
infrastructure
have
often
been
deeply
inequitable
and
we
have
a
role
in
addressing
them
in
the
work
that
we
do..
We
think
that
you
will
see
this
in
two
primary
ways..
One
is
by
making
sure
that
the
new
investments
that
we
guide
take
in
equity
into
consideration
so
that
all
people
have
adequate
access
to
the
infrastructure
and
services
that
they
need
and
have
paid
for.
An
example
of
this
was
given
earlier
with
the
tree
canopy
work
that
rick
scott
and
the
team
to
discussed..
L
L
These
are
people
from
our
communities
and
communities
in
need
that
haven't
been
impacted
or
disinvested
in
historically,
and
that
we
make
sure
that
this
these
significant
investments
become
again
that
pathway
to
prosperity
for
them,
and
we
will
be
working
to
make
that
a
more
clear
and
robust
strategy
over
the
course
of
the
year
as
one
of
our
three
guiding
principles..
So
in
terms
of.
L
S
Terms
of
our
governance,
structure,,
the
approach
to
governance,
aligns
to
city
service,
areas,,
environmental
and
utilities,
and
transportation
and
aviation,
and
the
work
plan
of
the
transportation
and
environment
committee
with
the
overall
city
infrastructure
strategy
and
team..
So
on
the
left
you
see
deputy
city
manager,
kip
harkness
as
the
primary
accountability
for
the
city
infrastructure,
strategy.
S
And
team
staffing,
the
transportation
and
environment
committee,
which
will
guide
strategy
as
well
as
the
city
service
areas,
sorry,
the
singular
city
service
area
of
environment
and
utility
services
and
then
over
on
the
right
side.
You
see
deputy
city
manager,
rob
lloyd
with
responsibility
for
the
city
service
area
of
transportation
and
aviation.
um,,
in
addition
to
the
city
infrastructure
strategy.
Work,,
these
departments
are
also
involved
in
managing
numerous
complex
core
services.
Department,
level,
change
initiatives
and
many
are
also
part
of
the
new
city
focus
areas.
S
S
Oh
yes.,
and
we
will
continue
to
have
quarterly
which
I'll
talk
about
more
on
the
future
slide..
So
as
a.
S
Collective
city
infrastructure
team
we're
going
to
have
a
few
different
aspects
to
how
we
work.
first,
we
will
use
our
interdepartmental
monthly
city
infrastructure
meetings
to
engage
in
debate
on
approach
and
strategy,,
clear
roadblocks
to
progress
and
gather
feedback
for
further
improvement
in
these
monthly
gatherings.
We
also
monitor
progress
of
our
key
results,
ensuring
that
teams
are
on
track
and
able
to
address
any
challenges
or
obstacles.
second,
we'll
have
a.
S
S
S
Large
trash
capture
device.,
so
these
have
been
really,,
really
fun
ways
to
both
actually
see
city
infrastructure
in
process,
as
well
as
get
to
meet
folks
from
across
the
city..
We
invite
departments
who
aren't
working
in
those
particular
areas
to
come
in
and
see
what
each
other
is
up,
to.
and
then.
Lastly,.
S
That
we'll
have
these
sprinkled
throughout
the
year..
We
had
our
first
one
back
in
april
and
at
that
gathering
we
had
folks
from
save
the
bay
spur,
green,
foothills,
coastal
conservancy
valley,
water,
keep
quality,
beautiful
silicon
valley,
leadership,
group,
san
jose
conservation
corps,
as
well
as
the
stanford
douar
school
of
sustainability
and
a
handful
of
city
departments..
So
turning.
S
Now
to
the
budget,
while
we
don't
yet
have
an
adopted
budget,,
the
city
is
proposing
to
make
meaningful
investments
across
eight
of
our
16
work
streams..
In
total,
we
anticipate
adding
or
continuing
twenty
six
positions
and
allocating
approximately
fourteen
million
dollars
in
the
coming
fiscal
year..
This
14
million
dollars
includes
both
funding
for
positions
as
well
as
one
time
money
to
support
the
work
streams..
So
here
is
the
full.
S
Throughout
the
coming
year.
We
will
use
this
committee
as
a
forum
to
seek
direction
on
policy
and
strategic
approach
and
provide
updates
on
the
individual
work
streams
at
critical
junctures.
We
are
currently
revising
the
committee
work
plan
to
focus
more
primarily
on
these
city
infrastructure
strategy
and
the
related
work
streams
and
of.
S
S
L
High
level
is
the
city
infrastructure
strategy..
The
document
itself
goes
into
greater
detail
in
the
five
objectives
and
six
work
streams
and
also
includes
additional
suggested
reading
ten
books
and
ten
reports
for
those
of
you
who
want
to
get
the
extra
points
and
the
deeper
cut.,
but
for
today
the
team
is
here
to
answer
any
questions
you
have
about
the
strategy
and
we
are
open
to
your
feedback
and
direction.
thank
you.
ok,.
Well,.
A
B
Reminder
that
department.
B
Of
transportation,
they
may
actually
have
more
uh,
surveillance
technology,
questions
and
needs,
and
projects
and
practices.
Then
the
san
jose
police
department
is
a
little
factoid
for
everyone.
For
this
item.
B
You
know
I'm
interested
how
we
I
thank
you
that
you
have,
concepts
of
infrastructure
and
emergency
preparedness.
At
the
same
time
as
the
tree
planting
issues.,
I
feel
there's
an
interesting
connection
there
that
you're
trying
to
connect
uh,
that
when
we
talk
about
tree
planting,,
you
know,,
it
can
be
good
ways
to
address,
uh,,
emergency
services
and
preparedness
ideas..
I
think
that's
really
smart
thinking
and
intelligent
and
fun
enjoyable,
cognitive.
B
B
B
Really
have
sea
level
rise,
issues.
that
I
think
my.
B
Thank
you.,
ok,,
so
yeah,
so
my.
B
Feeling
is
that,
with
with
sea
level,
rise
issues
that
we
have
an
issue
of,
it's
really
serious
and
we're
learning
with
federal
dollars
coming
in
right
now,
to
really
start
to
more
openly
talk
about
sea.
B
B
B
Part
tunneling
issues
can
be
part
of
that
levee
process.,
good
luck
with
that..
You
mentioned
on
the
item
that
you're
redeveloping
the
wastewater
management
treatment.
Plant.,
I
mean
you
guys.
I
just
spent
the
past
five
years
on
such
things..
I
don't
know
if
that's
the
appropriate
language
to
use
for
it.
um,,
you
know,,
you
spent
a
lot
of
money
in
the
past
five
years
already
developing
redeveloping
the
plant
is
additional
funding
that
we're
talking
about..
I
think
at
this
point,
and
I.
B
Guess
that's
about
it
for
myself.!
I
think,
I'll
stop
here
and
just
thank
you
that
you're
really
trying
to
talk
about,,
uh,
disaster
preparedness
and
just
good
luck,
how
we
can
always
be
looking
for
ways
to
make
it
an
open
conversation
and
our
work
to
actually
mitigate
actual
potential.
Any
natural
disaster.
B
Things
thanks.
thank
you.
A
N
You
chair
and
thank
you
to
the
city,
manager's
office
and,
of
course,
all
the
staff
who've
been
putting
together
the
documents,
presentation
and
support
of
the
goals
that
have
been
outlined.
Um,
I
want
to
first
off
really
excited
for
a
lot
of
the
work..
N
N
T
Excuse
me.
ray
reardon,
director
the
office
of
emergency
management..
Thank
you
for
the
question
regarding
the
substory
project.
we're
spending
the
the
summer
getting
a
lot
of
feedback
from
the
community
on
what
the
project
looks,
like,,
what
the
impacts
will
be,
what
the
cost
would
be,
how
the
engagement
that
will
be
both
for
the
landlord
and
the
tenants..
So
we
make
sure
we
get
an
equal
feedback
from
the
groups
involved
at
this
time.
T
Vision
that
people
will
be
displaced
while
the
retrofits
going
in
most
the
operation
retrofitting
can
be
done
in
the
open
space
that
is
causing
the
soft
story
structure
and
that's
what
we're
working
on
now
is
the
designs
that
would
affect
those
structures
that
are
identified
as
part
of
this
process.
so
be
collecting
the
information
for
both
the
ordinance,,
the
process
and
the
feedback
from
the
public,
as
well
as
financial
programs
that
can
be
available
for
part.
N
T
L
We
will
also
have
a
proposal
for
outreach
at
that
point
which
you
can
provide
for
the
direction
comment
on.,
but
I
think
the
bottom
line
key
is
that
for
these
types
of
retrofits
for
the
vast
majority,
it
should
be
any
displacement
at
all..
Most
of
that
work
can
be
done.,
it
might
displace
some
parked
cars,
but
most
of
that
work
can
be
done
on
the
on
the
story.
That
is
the
soft
story.
T
The
second
phase,
which
will
kick
in
immediately
after
the
phase
one
is
done,,
which
is
the
ordinance
there
is
funding
to
establish
programs
for
helping
assist
with
the
funding
of
the
retrofit.,
we're
also
applying
for
additional
fema
grants,
which
are
the
hazard
mitigation
grants
that
come
out
after
disasters
occurred
like
the
floods..
So
we've
applied
that.
L
There
to
be
a
significant
gap
between
the
funds
available
and
the
funds
needed,
so
the
vast
majority
of
these
investments
would
have
to
be
done
by
the
private
property
owners
themselves
and,
depending
on
the
circumstance,
would
either
be
passed
through
to
the
tenant
or
passed
through
over
time,
depending
on
what
the
what
the
ordinances
are.
and
that
was.
N
Going
to
be
my
next
concern,
because,
when
I
think
about
where
these
soft
story
structures
are
in
my
district,
it's
mayfair.,
it's
it's
all
like
affordable,
housing,,
lower
income
working
class
neighborhoods,
which
is
a
concern,
because
if
this
cost
is
pushed
back
onto
the
tenants,,
that
could
also
be
another
way
for
uh,
some
sort
of
displacement.
If
effort
for
affordable
housing,
could
we
just
expect
that
they
would
raise
the
rent??
Would
they
just
say,,
you
know,
this
is,
uh,
maintenance
that
was
required
to
update
the
facility
and
therefore
you
have
to
pay
for
it??
L
Questions
a
lot
of
it
depends
on
the
status
of
of
the
property,,
whether
it's
under
our
rental
control,
ordinance,
pre,
1979
or
not.,
there's
sort
of
different
answers
for
each.
We,
as
a
team
have
been
discussing
this..
I
would
really
two
things
if
you
would.
I'd
love
to
come,
give
a
chance
to
brief
you
in
more
depth
on
this
and
also
love
to
bring
this
conversation
back
to
the
full
council
as
part
of
the
ordinance
piece..
These
are
all
very
good
questions
as
a
as
a.
L
N
Exacerbated
it
enough,
but
I'd
love
to
talk
to
you
about
that
later.
thank
you.,
all
right..
I
understand
emotion
on.
A
A
B
B
um,.
I
wanted
to
comment
on
two
important
items
that
are
coming
up
in
this
budget
time.
First
of
thank
you
that
you
can
haggle
with
budget
issues
and
invite
the
community
to
haggle
along
as
well
and
really
deciding
good
plans
for
current
budget
issues,
uh,
with
major
issues
and
rpi
issues.
uh,.
I'm.
B
Interested
thank
you
that,
with
our
funding
that
you
actually
had
a
community
meeting
process
for
it
to
really
ask
that,
I
think
we
can
do
so
much
better
than
just,.
B
I
know
you
have
an
easy
ride
with
the
police
department,
but
it's
just
the
police
department
is
based
on
war
and
it's
really
depressing
to
think
that
you
guys
are
going
to
invest
in
that
sort
of
thing.
When
we're
trying
to
talk
about
reimagined.,
I
mean
really,
I
mean,
there's,
there's
ideas
of
living
wage
issues
that
people
work
on
a
lot..
I
hope
you
can
work
on
that
and
with
measure
funding.
I
really
hope
we
can
stick
to
the
original
seventy
five.
Twenty
five
model
that
there
seems
to
be
ways.
