A
We
begin,,
I
want
to
remind
committee
members
and
members
of
the
public,
follow
our
code
of
conduct
at
meetings,
including
commenting
on
the
public
agenda
item
only
on
the
civic
agenda
items
only
and
addressing
the
full
body
of
the
speakers
will
not
engage
in
conversation
with
the
chair
council,
members,
board,
members,,
etc.
all
members,.
The
committee
staff
and
public
are
expected
to
refrain
from
the
use
of
language.
Failure
to
comply
could
result
in
removal
from
the
meeting.
So
we
will
call
the
meeting
order
and
take
role.
A
D
This
is
a
joint
effort
by
parks
and
recreation
staff,
as
well
as
the
department
of
transportation,
as
we
know
that
from
the
user
perspective,
these
are
all
one
system,
one
network..
So
with
me
today
I
have
with
sewel
from
the
department
of
parks
and
neighborhood
services
and
ryan
smith,,
our
manager
of
active
transportation,
as
well
as
division
manager,
reemphasis
madou.,
and
with
no
further
ado,
I
will
turn
it
over
to
lou.
E
E
E
E
2001
we
only
had
20
miles
of
urban
trails,
but
in
twenty
twenty
three
this
year
we
have
over
63
miles
of
urban
trail..
So
that
is
quite
an
accomplishment
and
we
are
really
trying
to
move
forward
very
aggressively
on
the
remaining
40
trails
in
the
future.
We
would
like
to
see
100
miles
of
urban
and
30
miles
of
rural
and
trails
such
as
those
that
alum
rock
next.
E
Open
complete
constructed.,
we
currently
have
trails
in
each
of
these
stages,
including
administrative
stages
and
right
voice.
Stages.,
there's
over
30
active
trail
projects
and
over
40
trail
funding
streams,
including
local
funding,
and
grant
funding..
The
cost
of
completing
the
network
is
going
to
be
about
four
million.
I'm.
F
Shifting
over
to
the
on
street
network,
in
october,
20
20
council
adopted
a
new
bike
plan,
better
bike
plan.
Twenty
twenty
five.,
the
vision
of
that
plan
is
basically
anybody
who
lives
or
works
in
san
jose,
regardless
of
age
ability
or
background,
can
feel
comfortable
biking
on
our
streets..
The
plan
set
up
three
primary
goals
for
development
and
implementation
of
the
plan,
safety,
equity
and
road
shift.
F
The
slide
shows
the
existing
network
in
san
jose,
along
with
some
of
the
twenty
twenty
two
accomplishments
for
on
street
network.,
and
so
just
to
go
over
a
couple
of
those.
We
currently
have
sixteen
miles
of
protected,
bikeways
and
16
miles
of
bike
boulevards
and
that's
for
a
total
of
four
hundred
and
sixty
combines
with
other
bike
type
bikeway
types
for
four
hundred
and
sixty
miles
of
bikeways
on
street.
Our
planned
network
is
three
hundred
and
fifty
miles
of
protected
bikeways,
one
hundred
miles
of
bike
boulevards..
F
F
F
You
can
see
a
protected
bikeway
that
uses
quick,
build
separation,
so
plastic
prst
allow
us
to
really
quickly
implement
these
types
of
bikeways
on
our
streets
as
funding
becomes
available.
As
you
see
in
the
bottom
left,
our
goal
is
to
upgrade
as
many
of
these
as
possible
with
something
more
more
substantial,
such
as
concrete
landscaping
and
more
feasible.
Green
stormwater
infrastructure.
on
the
right
are
a
couple
of
examples.
E
Of
the
trails
that
we
have
completed
over
the
past
couple
of
years,
plus
the
trails
that
are
slated
for
completion
over
the
next
couple
of
years.,
so
it's
a
really
exciting
slide
to
see,
because
it
really
shows
the
continuity
of
trails
that
we're
establishing
in
the
city
of
san
jose..
You
can
see
so
light.
E
Green
trails
have
been
completed
since
twenty
twenty
one
and
the
blue
have
are
slated
to
be
constructed
by
twenty
twenty
five.
So
you
can
see
that
we're
moving
forward
pretty
aggressively
on
the
coyote
creek
trail,
as
well
as
the
three
creeks
trail
has
a
couple
of
projects,
one
that
was
just
completed
and
one
that
is
slated
to
be
complete
over
the
next
couple
of
years..
We
are
currently
in
construction
along
the
thompson
creek
trail
between
quimby
and
oborne
court
and
the
penitential
creek
trail..
E
E
E
E
E
E
There's
a
lot
of
excitement
about
this
trial.,
so
we're
we're
moving
it
forward
as
quickly
as
we
can..
This
particular
phase
was
funded
by
local
dollars
and
coastal
conservancy
and,
as
I
said,,
the
master
plan
is
going
to
be
begun.
A
summer.
we're
also
again
closely
coordinating
with
our
dot,
because
this
project
will
have
a
lot
of
intersections
um,
trail,
trails,
street
intersections,
next
slide.
And
finally,
the.
E
F
F
Local
access,
frontage
lane
to
10th
and
11th
street,
where
bikes
and
cars
can
share
space
access
on
street
parking
and
access
driveways..
This
is
to
contend
with
kind
of
some
design
challenges
for
implementing
a
protected
bikeways..
We
have
lots
of
driveways
and
short
block
segments
that
need
to
be
accounted
for..
This
allowed
us
to
create
separate
ad
space
for
bikes
and
cars.
in
light
of.
F
Some
of
these
design
challenges-
and
if
this
is
successful,
we'd
like
to
implement
this
elsewhere
in
similar
kind
of
contexts.,
this
project
also
added
transit
boarding
islands,
which
minimizes
or
eliminates
the
need
for
busses
to
cross
the
bike
lane
in
order
to
access
bus
stops,
and
this
also
allows
busses
to
travel
a
bit
faster
down
the
corridor.
And
so
I
don't
need
to
pull
all
the
way
over
to
the
curb..
This
project
also
upgraded
the
temporary
quick,
build
materials
that
I
discussed
previously
to
permanent
hardscape
much.
F
Demand
isn't
necessary
for
the
amount
of
lanes
on
a
street
and
repurposing
those
for
other
modes
in
this
case
bikes..
So
you
can
see
on
the
left.
We
completed
a
lane
reduction
on
quamby
road
council
district,
eight
and
added
some
plastic
post
and
then
on
the
right.
We
completed
a
similar
project
on
first
avenue
and
council
district
nine
plastic,
for
this
are
on
their
way..
Both
of
these
projects
were
coordinated
very
closely
with
the
community,
including
schools
along
the
route
and
on
quimby
road.
We
also
coordinated
carefully
with
the
parks
department
as
a
new
trail..
F
Another
really
exciting
project
happened
in
south
san
jose..
This
is
a
multi-year
project..
It
was
coordination
between
city,
caltrans
and
victor
to
redesign
the
one
on
one
blossman
hill
freeway
interchange..
This
give
us
a
great
opportunity
to
make
improvements
for
people
walking
and
biking
by
adding
a
foley
separated,
bicycle
and
pedestrian
bridge
to
give
people
really
safe
kind
of
seamless
access..
This
link
really
creates
a
way
for
people
to
connect
from
residences
west
of
the
freeway
to
our
businesses
and
employment
centers
to
the
east..
It's
a
very
exciting
project.
um,.
Some.
F
Projects
that
are
under
development,
so
we
have
a
lot
of
grant
funding
right
now
to
upgrade
a
lot
of
the
plastic
host
we
have
around
downtown
and
out
to
the
bart
station
and
council
district
four
to
permanent,
concrete
separation..
F
So
on
the
right,
you
can
see
examples
heading
out
to
the
bart
station
and
heading
in
along
san
fernando.
These
will
be
upgraded
to
concrete
in
the
coming
year..
So
we
also
have
similar
projects
on
the
key
road
in
council
district,
five,
bascom
avenue
and
council
district
six
and
several
streets
and
the
east
tennessee
and
movimiento
plan
which
council
adopted
in
districts
three
and
five..
F
F
Available.
plan
to
upgrade
as
much
as
we
can
to
permanent
kind
of
hardscape
landscaping
and
when
feasible,
green
stormwater
infrastructure.,
it's
a
large
plan.,
so
we're
focusing
on
the
right
some
areas
where
we
think
our
goals
will
be
achieved.
F
F
F
If
I
can
just
keep
your
attention
to
the
left
for
a
moment.
um,,
so
we
consider
by.
F
Claiming
to
be
more
or
less
unfunded,
as
we
only
have
about
a
million
dollars
guaranteed
to
us
annually
through
a
funding
source
from
the
state
of
california..
So
in
order
to.
F
Implement
our
bike
plan,
we
need
to
find
different
ways
to
leverage
resources..
We
need
to
go
after
grant
funding
some
of
the
city
programs
that
we
on
our
bike
plan.
Implementation
must
include
our
pavement
minutes
program,
a
vision,
zero
projects
and
similar
to
the
boston
one
on
one
example:
regional,
highway
projects..
We
also
go
after
a
lot
of
competitive
grant
funding
and,
finally,
we
work
with
private
development..
A
Right.,
thank
you
so
much
for
the
presentation.
before
we
go
continue
with
this
agenda.
Item.
there's
a
little
bit
of
housekeeping
to
do
related
to
ab
twenty
four
forty,
nine.
We
need
a
motion
since
it
was
late
notice
on
the
virtual
attendance
from
councilor
davis,.
We
need
a
motion
to
approve
her
attendance
ab,
two
four
four
nine
remotely
so
to
have
a
motion
summary
to.
A
I
Lot
for
this
item.
uh,
good
description
of
the
current
state
of
the
programs.
uh,
programs
are
going
it's
my
feeling
that
I
guess.
I
Work,
I
do
with
tech
accountability,
you're
going
to
be
building
some
surveillance
around
these
trails
and
public
safety
issues
in
the
importance
of
public
safety
and
the
future
of
surveillance,
to
develop
really
good,
accountable
policies
and
practices
with
the
technol.
keep
the
surveillance
tech
that
will
be
around
these
sort
of
projects..
It's
a
real
important
part
of
the
future
of
this
process..
It's
not
just
getting
a
bunch
of
technology..
I
I
Just
a
reminder
that,
for
all
this
good
vertical
nonstop
work,
you've
done
on
this
item,,
it's
been
very
interesting.,
a
real
good
luck.
How
we
tried,
in
the
past
eight
years
to
talk
about
east
west
bike
trails
and
the
importance
of
those
concepts.,
I'm
really
interested
how
that
can
develop
here
in
the
next
few
years
and
to
continue
the
work
of
the
past..
It's
tough,
but
I
think
it
can
come
with
something
really
interesting..
Thank
you.
back
to
the
committee..
All
right.
J
J
D
Started
with
the
cities
of
san
jose
and
kamble,
and
the
county
of
santa
clara,
because
bascome
goes
through
all
of
those
jurisdictions
and
vti
rightly
saw
the
need
to
help
coordinate.
So
we
didn't
have
scattershot
approaches
throughout
the
corridor,
and
so
really
exciting.
Milestone
is
that,
through
the
most
recent
active
transportation
program,
call
vte
submitted.
D
With
our
support
for
bascom
avenue
for
more
than
thirty
million
dollars
and
is
receiving
that
yeah.,
so
we
are
really
excited
that
they're
moving
forward..
You
know
with
that.
With
our
partnership
for
the
whole
corridor,
they
had
already
put
in
measure
b
dollars
to
get
the
project
moving
in
terms
of
the
environmental
and
the
early
design,
and
then
the
state
money
that's
just
coming
in
will
we
certainly
hope
foley
fund
the
construction.,
that's
what
it's
slated
to
do..
So
the
funding
we
just.
D
D
D
That
can
be
done
without
all
of
that
major
construction,
but
that
won't
have
to
be
redone.,
it's
being
coordinated
so
that
that
will
stay
in
place
and
then
also
you
will
see
that
there
is
a
new
protective
signal
for
light
rail
at
bascome,
near
hamilton,
just
north
of
hamilton,
that
we
also
got
funded
through
the
federal
krissie
grade
crossing
improvement
program
that
we're
implementing
these
all
these
puzzle
pieces
can
fit
together
along
bascome,
ok
and
thank
you..
That's
really.
J
K
D
Know,
very
succinctly,,
you
know,.
We
find
that,
as
during
the
planning
process,
the
community
input
is
the
most
integral
in
shaping
the
fundamentals.
right..
So
that's
what
ramsey's
is
talking
about
with
the
vtec
complete
street
study.
There
were
open
questions.
Do
you
want
this??
Do
you
want
this??
What
direction
do
you
want
to
go?
and
then,
as.
D
From
broad
engagement
to
input
into
more
specific
features
to
information
to
the
public,
about
kind
of
how
this
is
going
to
take
shape.,
we
also
through
that
early
process
were
able
to
align
that
with
urban
village.
Work
that
the
city
had
done
so
that
that
was
kind
of
I
think
from
the
public
scene
is
like
one
process
rather
than
multiple..
But
but
I
will
say,,
you
know,,
as
a
project
takes
shape
that
that
30
million
is
for
very
specific
line
items
and
construction..
D
J
Mention
hrl
and
you
showed
pictures
of
perl..
I'm
curious
of
those
three
people
on
bikes
were
actually
neighbors
who
were
on
bikes
or
were
those
stage
doped
people
in
bicycles?,
because
I
can
tell
you
my
residents
are
not
all
that
happy,
although
I
was
one
hundred
percent
behind
it
and
support
it.
so
and
if
any
of
my
residents
are
listening,
you
have
me
to
blame,
because
it's
all
about
slowing
down
traffic
and
making
the
streets
safe
for
all
for
pedestrians
and
and
travelers..
Two
of
those
people.
F
J
Of
weeks
ago
there
was
actually
an
accident
nearby
of
someone
running
a
stop
sign
or
stoplight
in
that
area,
right
by
the
school..
We
have
a
couple
of
elementary
schools
in
our
schools
in
that
area,
and
that's
one
of
the
main
reasons
we
narrow
the
street.
pearl
is
a
fast
street..
A
lot
of
people
use
it
as
a
loop
to
avoid
other
traffic,
and
they
can't
do
that
anymore..
So
I'm
very
happy
about
that.
J
J
E
E
Deterrent
I'm
talking
about
vehicle
deterrence
such
as
bollards,,
boulders,,
fences,
gates
to
prevent
private
vehicles
from
accessing,
but
that
can
also
be
removed
so
that
maintenance
vehicles
can
come
through
to
care
for
the
trails
in
the
city
of
san
jose..
We're
really
trying
we're
working
very
hard
to
connect
our
trails
because
in.
E
E
J
E
Have
implemented
a
couple
of
new
pilot
projects
that
I
believe
so
this
is
for
our
parks
department,
but
I
believe,
they're
being
extended
beginning
this
year,
maybe
around
the
summer
time..
The
first
pilot
program
was
police
officers
on
bikes,
and
that
was
along
the
coyote
creek
trail
and
that
is
going
to
be
extended
to
the
guadalupe
river
trail
as
well.
and
then.
E
G
G
G
Important
this
is.,
so
thank
you
so
much
for
this
work.
you
know,,
the
safety
of
our
residents
should
be
our
one
of
our
main
priorities.
um,.
So
really,
really
excited
to
all
the
other
projects
that
are
going
through..
I
know
that
this
is
going
to
be
a
great
addition
to
our
city
as
we
try
push
towards
getting
people
out
on
their
bikes,
getting
out
of
cars,
things
like
that,
which
I'm
also
supportive
of..
G
Has
there
been
discussions
on?
I
know
that
the
last
plan
I
think
that
was
put
into
place
was
2007..
Has
there
been
any
discussion
since
then
of
what
this
may
look?
Like?,
because
I
know
there's
a
lot.
You
know,
concerns
about
safety..
There
has
been,
you
know,
gang
activity
and
drug
activity
on
that
trail.
um,.
So
I
I
think.
G
E
E
M
The
privilege
of
serving
on
several
trail
advocacy
boards
throughout
my
life,
whether
it
was
five
wins
trail
or
save
our
trails..
I
think
it's,
I
think
it's
critical,
not
just
for
our
our
residents
to
to
enjoy
recreationally,
but
if
we
want
to
move
our
ghg
reduction
targets,.
This
is
how
we
do
it,
because
that's
how
we
move
people
safely
from
one
place
to
the
city,
to
the
other.
I
couldn't
help,
but
to
see
on
one
of
the
slides,
the
the
trail
network
currently,,
you
know,
as
it
stands,
and
you
know,.
M
I
see
district
eight
evergreen
the
far
right
corner
and
there's
there's
literally
no
infrastructure
out
out
there..
I
know
thompson
creek
is
something
that
we're
going
to
be
finishing
up
soon
and
I'm
super
excited
to
do
something
to
to
bring
attention
to
the
community.
So
they
know
that
it's
open,
especially
because
it's
going
to
be
a
critical
component
to
connecting
folks
to
lake
cunningham,,
which
I
know
my
colleagues
on
the
council
care
about
as
well
and
and
to
that
note,.
I
do
want
to
echo
my
my
council
member
colleagues,
thoughts
on
silver
creek
trail..
M
M
Thoughtful
effort
into
to
to
making
sure
we
we
can
do
that,
not
just
for
you
know,
us
on
the
council,
but
for
the
residents
of
our
district,
who
actually
need
need
to
get
to
and
from.,
so
that
being
said,,
I'm
excited
to
see
the
progress,
especially.
I
know
five
months
trail
the
easement
acquisition
is
coming
before
us
soon..
I
think,
because
I'm
still
in
the
mail,
mr.
M
A
A
A
Side.
yeah
that'll
be
exciting
to
have
more
direct
and
there's
already
the
trail
through
the
bart
station.
That's
north
of
that.,
it's
just
a
question
of
getting
exciting
there.
the
east
west
is
an
issue,
obviously
across
many
of
these
highways
one
two
one,
eight
eighty
in
the
north
part
of
the
city,
not
really
good,
safe
ways
to
get
across
eight
eighty,
particularly
as
we
go
further
north..
I
saw
in
the
report
the
central
bike
way,
which
is
mayberry
over
to
heading
and
then
across.,
but
there
was
also
talk
about
in
more
northern
bike
way.
D
Primarily
that
has
led
us
to
have
so
many
fewer
east
west
options
than
we
do
north
south
..
So
a
couple
of
ways
in
which
we're
looking
at
how
to
cross
specifically
in
that
north
san
jose
area
across
eight.,
eighty
one
of
them
is
we
are
of
the
settlement
agreement,
moving
forward
with
the
county
and
vte
to
advance
the
series.
D
Of
projects
along
montague
and
we're
going
to
look
for
the
best
possible
bikeway
connections
that
are
either
part
of
that
roadway
or
adjacent
to
it..
But
that
remains
that's
an
early
feasibility
step
that
we're
looking
at
what
those
options
could
be.
secondly,.
We
are
starting
the
north
san
jose
transportation
plan,
and
so
just
let
brahms's
give
a
preview
of
that.
thank
you..
K
Just
yeah.
as
you
know,
we're
kicking
off
the
josé
multi-modal
transportation
improvement
plan,
which
is
specifically
going
to
be
looking
at
that
that
kind
of
north
first
street
corridor
and
how
do
you
get
across
there?
right.
and
there's
already
some
good
recommendations
actually
coming
out
of
the
rose
fellowship
a
few
years
ago.
At
this
point,
making
sure
we're
making
better
connections
there.,
but
we'll
actually
have
the
planning
resources
to
really
dig
in
now
and
say,
all
right,
you
know,
we've
got
this
bike.
Plan.
K
we've
got
a
few
different
east
west
tracks,
which
are
the
ones
we
should
be
prioritizing
everything
from
tasmin
all
the
way
at
the
north,
where
we
actually
have
some
pretty
advanced
planning
already..
But
we
need
to
look
at
further
down
all
the
way
down
that
corridor
to
kind
of
figure
those
things
out.,
um,
brokaw's,
even
one
of
the
ones
that
you've
been
involved
in
as
well
so
yeah.
yeah,.
I
was
going.
A
A
Part
of
that
overall
project,
of
course,
that's
years
out
and
and
a
lot
of
money,
but
it's
going
to
come
and
that'll
be
probably
the
best
way
to
get
across
when
that's
done,
I
would
argue,
probably
at
the
tasman
corridor,
is
the
safest
and
best
route..
Obviously,
a
lot
of
it
goes
through.
Milpitas,
a
portion
goes
from
the
then
back
in
to
san
jose.,
but
if
we
do
that,
think
about
that
connectivity
corridor.
is
there
any
way?
Do
we
ever
coordinate
that
across
jurisdiction
with
a
city
like
milpitas,
to
make
sure
that
that's
yeah.
yeah.
A
K
For
questions
of
the
tasmin
plan
was
actually
just
like.
The
bascome
plan
we
were
talking
about
earlier
was
a
multi
jurisdictional,
complete
streets
effort
led
by
vti,
which
we
were
a
party
to
and
very
happy.
It
was
done.,
and
so
that
plan
actually
goes
all
the
way
from
the
great
mall
through
milpitas,,
through
san
jose,,
through
santa
clara,,
through
sunnyvale,
where
the
road
kind
of
dissipates
into
a
general.
K
A
North
san
jose,
I
think
tasmin,
was
clearly
ended
up
being
the
the
most
the
the
most
enjoyable
of
the
routes
and
the
safest
of
the
routes..
So
we
had
to
keep
that
way..
Brokaw
worries
me.,
I'm
not
sure,
there's
a
solution..
I
saw
on
your
map
broka
being
a
future
improvement
between
oakland,
road
and
zanker.
But
it's
not
clear
to
me
how
we
really
get
anybody
safely,
underneath
880
there,
the
roads,
narrows.,
it's
there's
not
a
lot
of
space,
but
we
thought
well
we'll
always.
A
A
A
A
lot
of
people
tell
me
they
don't
feel
comfortable..
It's
still
a
fast
road.
cars
are
still
using
the
bike
lane
to
turn
right
and
all
the
interchanges
along
the
way..
So
cars
are
pulling
in
front
of
people..
Do
we
do
any
kind
of
surveying
or
studying
of
these
streets
after
this
is
done
to
see
what
additional
improvements
need
to
be
done
to
make
it
safer
for
bicyclists?.
D
D
D
D
K
Of
it
there,
you
know
these
are
quick,
build
projects
that
we
specifically
do
intend
to
go
back,
to.
right.
and
then
make
them
into
permanent
solutions.
right.
and
the
one
that
we're
spending
the
most
time
and
doing
exactly
that
on
right
now
is
san
fernando
from
the
from
the
station
all
the
way
to
the
university
here.
and
you
know,.
We
do
those
studies
at
that
point
pretty
intensely
and
also
what
we
do
is
we
learn
a
lot
from
the
geometry
we
put
out
there.
K
right.,
so
our
car
is
getting
in
front
of
bikes
in
a
certain
way
that
we
thought
we
had
blocked..
Are
there
certain
places
where
we
need,?
You
know,
push
the
concrete
a
little
further
out
to
slow
the
cars
down,
just
that
much
more
subtle,
actually
give
bikes
a
safe
environment,,
those
kinds
of
things
we're
learning
through
those
environments..
K
So
the
quick
build
in
a
way
sets
up
a
test
environment
where
we
think
we've
done
our
best
already
in
the
design,
but
we
always
know
there's
ways
to
improve
and
then
when
we
get
to
come
back
and
we
get
that
money
to
do
the
permanent
version
of
it,,
we
do
do
quite
a
bit
of
in-depth
design,
research
and
user
research
at
that.
Point.
A
Might
need
a
better
reporting
system
to
hear
from
people..
You
know
we
don't
we.
Obviously,
if
there's
really
collisions
and
we
find
out
about
them
likely
we
do,
but
we
we
don't,
really
encourage
people
to
report
near
misses
or
other
things
that
happen
to
them
along
the
way,
and
maybe
we
think
about
creating
a
portal
where
people
can
say
hey,.
This
happened
to
me
while
on
my
bike
ride
and
get
it
into
the
system
somewhere,
so
we
can
keep
count
of
where
things
are
happening.
A
N
N
With
so
today's,
our
first
topic
is
a
garbage,
cart.
Pilot.,
you've
heard
us
refer
to
this.
I
think
a
couple
of
times
over
the
last
several
years,
really
looking
at
what
kinds
of
things
we
can
try
out
to
improve
our
overall
programmatic
performance,
as
you
may
recall,
and
you'll
certainly
hear
in
the
next
topic.
N
Our
garbage
programs,,
particularly
residential,
are
funded
solely
by
ratepayers.,
and
so
when
we
make
a
move,
we
want
to
make
sure
it
makes
sense.,
and
so
we
tend
to
do
a
lot
of
pilots
in
a
lot
of
testing
of
things,
because
we
are
such
such
a
large
city
and
with
that
I'll
turn
it
over
to
valerie.
thank
you,
carrie.
O
Ok,
first
we're
going
to
cover
some
general
information
about
the
residential
garbage
and
recycling
program..
It's
one
of
the
largest
privatized,
residential,
solid
waste
programs
in
the
country
serving
all
san
jose
households..
Our
program
is
a
leader
in
the
industry
by
diverting
waste
from
landfills,
having
positive
impacts
on
greenhouse
gases
and
climate,
having
innovative
programs
and
pilots,
placing
us
ahead
of
the
curve
on
many
fronts,
and
this
is
achievable
through
our
strong
partnerships
with
our
service
providers.
San
jose
has
four
service
providers
that
serve
our
residents
from
the
map.
O
On
the
slide,
you
can
see
that
california,
waste

and
processes

O
We
have
year
round
unlimited
loose

the
street
yard
trimmings
collection,,
unlimited
recycling,
collection,,
unlimited
large
junk
pick
up
collection
at
no
additional
charge
to
our
residents,
which
is
a
very
successful
program
and
is
collected
by
california,
waste
solutions
and
green
team,
and
our
residential
garbage
is
sorted
by
green
waste
to
recover
recyclables
and
organic,
such
as
food
waste
and
compostable
paper.
That's
sent
for
composting.
and
that
process
is
also
referred
to
as
a
back
end
processing
or
mixed
waste
processing..
We
have
an
approximate
one
hundred
eighty
three
dollars
million
annual
budget.
So
a
little.
O
History
about
san
jose's,
residential
program,,
our
curbside
recycling
program
started
in
1993
with
a
four
support
system,
and
you
can
see
an
image
of
the
plastic
crates
that
we
used
to
use
from
that
system
in
the
lower
left
hand
corner..
At
the
same
time,
we
initiated
a
pay,
as
you
throw
system
designed
to
encourage
recycling
and
it's
a
race,
a
rate
that
is
based
solely
on
our
garbage
service
level.
in
2002,
the
city.
O
O
In
2020.,
this
increase
was
thought
to
be
due
to
covid-19
shelter
in
place
orders
because
residents
were
generating
more
waste,
while
schooling
and
working
from
home
staff
also
wondered
if
the
steep
price
increase
in
the
pay,
as
you
throw
rate
structure,
was
causing
people
to
subscribe
to
less
garbage
service
than
is
needed..
85
percent
of
single
family
homes
subscribe
to
the
smallest
size,
garbage
cart
available,
which
is
thirty,
two
gallons
larger
garbage
cart.
O
200
homes
were
offered
a
96
gallon
garbage
cart
at
no
additional
charge
to
test
of
providing
a
larger
garbage.
Cart
would
reduce
recycling
contamination
routes
were
chosen
by
contamination
rates,
location
route,
coordination
between
our
garbage
and
recycling
service,
providers.,
the
number
of
homes
per
route,
and
we
also
made
sure
to
include
a
route
that
received
a
new,
recycle
recycling,
cart
lids
as
part
of
a
separate
pilot
from
spring
twenty
twenty
one.
O
Third
party
recycling
contamination.
studies
have
shown
that
contamination
has
increased
in
the
recent
years,
as
shown
in
this
chart..
This
chart
focuses
only
on
what
residents
place
in
their
gray,
cart
with
a
blue
lid
between
2015
and
2020.
Overall
recycling
contamination
increased
by
almost
20
percentage
points..
The
consultant
doing
the
study
at
the
time
surmise
that
this
increase
was
due
largely
to
covid-19
shelter
in
place
orders
and
provided
an
estimate
of
what
they
thought.
Contamination
would
look
like
without
shelter
in
place
orders,
as
shown
in
the
second
column,
however,.
O
O
Compared
to
overall
citywide
contamination.
contamination
on
the
larger
garbage
cart
pilot
routes,
actually
improved.
this
chart
shows
that
all
five
routes
saw
recycling
contamination
reductions
from
six
percentage
points
up
to
nearly
30
percentage
points
for
route.

despite.
O
O
Addition
to
the
third
party
study
staff
also
did
an
analysis
of
collected
tons
and
visual
assessments
of
the
contents..
The
tonnage
analysis
showed
that
cart,
garbage
tons,
increased
and
recycling
decreased..
That
confirms
what
the
third
party
study
had
said
that
residents
were
shifting
material
into
the
appropriate
cart.
staff
also
did
visual
assessments
of
the
carts
before
and
after
the
pilot.
O
Also
conducted
trilingual
surveys
to
obtain
qualitative
information
on
their
laboratory
on
their
larger
garbage,
cart
pilot
experience
at
the
end
of
february.
Sorry,
at
the
end
of
january
and
early
february,
all
participants
were
mailed
a
postcard
to
take
a
trilingual
online
survey.
staff
also
conducted
in-person
trilingual
canvasing.
During
this
time
reaching
about
forty
residents
in
person.,
we
received
259.
O
Survey
responses
about
two
hundred
twenty
seven
of
those
were
in
english,,
twenty
five
in
spanish
and
seven
vietnamese
and
seventy
seven
percent
of
respondents
felt
their
experience
was
good
or
excellent.
most
selected
that
their
recycling
and
garbage
carts
were
about
three
quarters.
Full..
The
majority
of
respondents
said
that
they
sometimes
use
the
extra
space
in
larger
garbage
cart.
well
about
a
quarter
of
respondents
said
that
they
always
use
it.,
most
indicated
an
interest
in
keeping
their
larger
garbage
cart
after
the
pilot,
but
cited
the
cost
increase
as
being
a
challenge.
O
Budget
proposals
for
consideration
this
fiscal,
this
coming
fiscal
year.
so
due
to
the
inconclusive
results
of
the
pilot
and
continued
problems
with
recycling,
contamination,
staff
will
continue
to
gather
data
and
research
best
practices
to
better
understand
how
potential
program
changes
could
help
to
reduce
contamination..
O
O
Has
also
submitted
a
budget
proposal
to
provide
direct
recycling,
cart
feedback,
utilizing
a
team
of
field
staff
to
conduct
visual
assessments
and
provide
feedback
to
residents
on
recycling.

Tag.
additionally,
usda
will
continue
to
expand
efforts
to
educate
residents
to
keep
food
and
liquids
out
of
recycling,
so
they
don't
soil
clean
recyclables,,
including
increasing
the
installation
of
new
recycling
cartloads
with
proven
effective,
trilingual
english,,
spanish
and
vietnamese
labels
showing
what
is
and
what
is
not
recyclable.
O
With
these
expanded,
efforts,
staff
will
better
understand
how
to
combat
the
problem
of
recycling
contamination
throughout
the
city..
The
image
at
the
bottom
of
the
slide
shows
the
new
recycling
cartload
that
is
installed
at
about
5000
single
family
residents
last
spring
in
2021,
during
that
recycling
cartload
pilot
and
the
pilot
also
showed
some
positive
improvement
on
reducing
recycling
contamination..
So
in
summary,.
N
I
just
wanted
to
clarify
that
when
we
say
contaminated
ocean,,
some
of
what
we
mean
is
garbage
in
the
in
the
recycling
cart.,
but
some
of
it
is
also
things
like
wet
cardboard.,
so
materials
that
it's
the
right
material
in
the
right
cart,
but
it
got
damaged
by
something
else..
So
some
of
it
is
a
sorting
issue,
and
some
of
it
is
a
quality
of
material
..
So
we
want
the
we
want.
The.
N
N
Don't
know
that
it's
going
to
not
only
improve
our
environmental
performance
but
again
as
we'll
talk
in
the
next
topic
because
of
the
new
cost
sharing
risk
sharing
methodology
you
have
with
our
haulers,.
We
want
to
make
sure
that
expenditure
results
in
reduced
rates..
So
so
that's
why
we're
not
recommending
we
just
go
forward..
So
with
that
we're
on.
We
also
gave
you
all
some
stickers
up
there
and
those
are
stickers
at
a.
N
Bit
smaller
than
that
are
similar
to
the
ones
that
are
on
the
new
carts,
cart
lids
that
have
shown
have
shown
results
and
would
love
to
give
you
some
more
and
help
spread
the
word..
These
have
been
mailed
to
ratepayers,
so
so
everyone
should
have
received
one,
but
we're
happy
to
give
out
more
with
that
were
available
for
questions..
Thank.
A
You
for
that
update.
we've
been
kind
of
waiting
for
a
little
while
to
hear
about
this
study,
so
I'm
glad
to
see
it
and
I'm
glad
you
clarified
a
little
bit
about
what
contamination
means,
because
I
was
going
to
ask
that
question
about.
I
mean
there's
multiple
levels.,
there's
also
the
contamination
of
people
who
I
think
who
are
wish
cycling..
I
would
think
that
they're
recycling
and
throwing
a
plastic-
that's
not
recyclable
again
with
other
plastics.
is
that
is
that
counted
as
well
in
the
in
the
contamination
question?.
So
if
the
material
is
not
approved.
N
And
identified
program
material,
if
it's
something
that
shouldn't
be
in
there
or
it's
in
there
of
the
wrong
quality.
That's
considered
contamination,
so
not
the
best
word
for
it.,
but
but
yes,.
If,
if
you
put
something
just
thinking
well,
the
city
will
know
what
to
do
with
it,.
Maybe
it's
recyclable
like
a
piece
of
a
kid's
toy
or
something
right,
then
yes.,
that's
considered
contamination
and
I
think
it's
gotten
more
complicated
for.
A
So
it's
not
even
clear
to
those
of
us
who
talk
about
this.
What
the
right
way
to
do
it
is,
and
some
of
the
recycling
not
all
not
all
contamination
is
equal,
because
if
you
go
to
a
separation
system
and
it's
clean
contamination,,
you
can
separate
it.,
it
doesn't
have
an
effect,
but
dirty
contamination
actually
reduces
the
value
of
the
recyclables.
So
there's
multiple
levels.,
I
assume
you
can
see
our
challenge
with.
A
J
Kind
of
a
spin
about
what's
recyclable,,
what's
not
recyclable.,
it's
dirty,,
what's
not
dirty.!
I
was
at
a
presentation
at
a
neighborhood
association
and
someone
from
your
department
was
there
kerry
with,
and
he
handed
us
all
these
rubber,
spatulas
and
said
this
is
all
you
need
to
do
is
take
the
can
clean
it
out
and
put
it
in
recycling..
J
J
N
N
N
Put
that
message
out
in
the
public
purview,
we
really
we
don't
want
to
have
too
many
mixed
messages..
So
that's
where
we're
aligning
over
the
next
year
to
to
kind
of
figure
out
what
makes
sense.,
but
in
general
it's
the
liquids
in
the
food
that
are
damaging
the
cardboard.
well,.
We
don't
like
microwaves
and
other
things.
J
J
N
J
To
have
to
get
that
out
to
my
community
and
one
other
thing,
I'm
actually
going
to
invite
you
or
your
team.
I
have
a
an
event
coming
up
music
in
the
valley,
and
you
have
a
recycle
booth
coming
be
really
great.
If
you
had
samples
of
this
is
our
bins,.
This
is
what
you
do
for
this
one..
This
is
what
you
do
for
that..
I
mean
really
interactive
place
that
they
can
the
residents
come
by
and
see
how
they're
really
supposed
to
be
doing
it
and
who's
really
going
to
be
paying
attention.
J
Are
the
kids
because
the
kids
want
mom
and
dad
to
do
it
right.
they
get
it.,
they
get
the
lessons
at
school
and
they
want
to
come
home
and
show
their
mom
and
dad's
what
they
need
to
do.,
so
they're
going
to
come
around
and
look
at
our
recycling
booth
that
we
have
set
for
you..
So
if
you
could
have
it
interactive,
it
would
be
really
awesome,
and
I
think
this
is
great,
but
I
still
have
lots
of
questions
about
what's
recyclable
and
not
and
we're
sort
of
in
the
know,
but
we're
we're
really
not.
N
N
J
A
You.
kazmir
foley,
actually
that's
a
great
suggestion
about
the
interactive
presentation:
demonstrations
even
even
having
people
come
up
and
do
a
thing
right
there
on
site
and
say:
where
should
this
one
go
and
how
would
you
clean
it
and
actually
see
if
they
get
it
right??
I
think
that's
right..
I
was
just
thinking
that
those
of
us
who
have
been
on
this
committee
for
two
plus
years
and
have
been
hearing
these
presentations
and
asking
these
questions
still
aren't
ever
sure
when
we're
home,
whether
we're
doing
it
right.
A
there's
no
way
that
the
average
resident
will
ever
know..
So
I
think
the
only
way
it
could
actually
work
is
is
if
they're
garbage
rates
include
like
one
visit
a
year
from
a
concierge
who
comes
to
their
house
and
recycles
with
them
for
an
hour,
because
otherwise
there's
I
don't
see
how
people
are
going
to
know.
What's
the
right
thing
to
do.,
am
I
right
in
the.
N
A
Separate
bins
for
paper,
we've
gone
away
from
that
and
it
seems
like
it's
led
to
these
kind
of
problems..
I'm
always
frustrated
my
house,
because
I
have
people
throwing
the
we
have
a
kitchen
recycling.,
can't
people
put
paper
in
there?.
I
take
every
piece
of
paper
out
and
keep
it
in
a
separate
can,
at
least
until
I
then
mix
it
all
together
thursday
I
eat
in
the
garbage
in
the
recycling.
A
Can
I
don't
see
any
way
to
prevent
contamination
because
there's
going
to
be
something
wet,,
something
with
some
dirt
on
it.
rain
gets
in
those
those
those
recycling
cans
when
in
the
rainy
season.
I
just
don't
see
unless
we
have
separate
paper
stream,
how
we're
going
to
do
this..
Are
we
thinking
about
this
as
a
as
a
solution??
We.
N
And
you
know,:
are
there
things
we
more
things?
We
should
say
we
don't
recycle
here
and
then
simply
take
the
paper
and
cardboard,
put
it
all
in
the
garbage
bin
and
use
it
for
compost,
so
so
lots
of
different
ways
to
to
get
there..
My
team
hates
that
idea,
but
but
lots
of
you
feel
stir
lots
lots
of
different
ideas,
though,
on
how
to
how
to
make
change.
In
the
ten
years
we
have
left.
A
exactly.,
it's
got
the
same
technology
that
separates
contamination
and
not
contamination..
So
let's
tell
people
that,
let's
consider
this
idea
of
telling
people
only
put
really
clean
things
in
recycling
and
everything
else
goes
in
garbage.
But
then
we
have
a
can
size
issue
so
exactly.
yeah.
I
mean
my
interest
has
always
been
in
maximizing
recycling
and-
and
so
I
hope
to
get
there
so
but.
A
A
N
N
Obviously,
very,
very
important
part
of
our
program
and
we
are,
we
are
competitive
in
our
rates
and
we'll
show
you
that.,
but
but
the
rate
structure
kind
of
drives
the
things
we
select
to
move
forward
and
the
things
we
don't
select
to
move
forward,
and
certainly
the
rates
in
compensation
to
our
hall.
Our
partners
are,
are
a
relevant
part
of
the
story
as
well,
because
you
know,,
we
need,
they
actually
do
the
work.
N
O
O
Are
contracts
with
our
forest
service
providers
total
approximately
one
hundred
eighty
three
million
dollars
annually.
it's
one
of
the
largest
privatized
systems
in
the
nation,
and
here
we'd
like
to
highlight
that
together
our
contractors
collect
more
than
five
hundred
thousand
tons
of
material
per
year..
All
of
that
material
is
collected,
that
is,
collected,
is
sorted
and
processed
before
any
non-recyclable
materials
sent
to
landfill
or
our.

O

structure
was
established
in

Ninety

and
most
cities
also
use
a

as
you
throw
rate
structure..
The
rate
based
on
the
rate
is
based
on
garbage
service
level
to
encourage
recycling
and
eighty
five
percent
of
our
single
family
homes
subscribe
to
the
smallest
cart,
and
we
believe
this
is
because
of
the
steep
price
increase
difference
between
one
garbage
cart
size
to
the
next.
san
jose.
O
O
O
many
other
cities
are
needing
to
add
containers
collection,
trucks,
possibly
contractors,
which
also
adds
to
cost
for
their
residents..
You
can
see
in
this
table
that
our
rates
are
about
in
the
middle,
for
single
family
and
very
low
for
multifamily,
and
that
we've
included
our
proposed
fiscal
year.

showing.
O
How
our
program
expenditure
is
playout
and
how
our
approximately
180
million
dollar
annual
operating
budget
is
divided..
The
blue,
green
and
orange
sections
represent
about
90
percent
of
our
costs,
which
are
tied
to
collection,
processing
and
disposal.
Contracts..
The
remaining
10
percent
is
our
administrative
costs,
and
that
covers
about
four
percent,
for
our
very
robust
outreach
program
and
about
six
percent,
and
that's
all
the
contract

center
employees
financed
and
other
administrative
costs..
It's
still
considerably
lower
on
the
lower
end
than
compared
to
other
jurisdictions..
There's
a.
O
O
O
O
Largest
increase
in
the
last
five
years,
which
you
can
see
in

was
due
to
the
impacts
of
the
first
year
of
our
new
extended
contracts
with
all
four
haulers,
plus
the
impact
of
the
first
year
of
the
dynamic
recycling
compensation
rate
notices
are
being
sent
to
all
property
owners.
The
first
two
weeks
of
april
and
recommended
rates
go
to
council
on
june
6th..
That's
and
with.
I
Guess
just
a
burst
of
thank
you
that
on
the
first
item
today,
one
of
the
city
staff,
persons
ryan-
I
think
his
name
is
it's
nice
to
hear
him
speak
on
the
bicycle
issues..
I
really
like
his
comments
when
he
was
at
the
public
presentations,
but
we
can
be
around
again
in
the
future
at
a
public
presentation
time
for
this
items..
I
wanted
to
comment
that
just.
I
Hope
that
we
are
very
much
learning
in
this
as
we're
trying
to
leave
the
area
public,
that
we
can
just
be
easier
and
easier
to
talk
about
the
importance
of
the
subsidy
process
and
how
that
can
help
persons
of
local
neighborhoods
when
they
have
questions
about
their
garbage,
rates,
recycling
rates
and
things
that
that
you
can
talk
to
them
and
it
can
be
an
open,,
accessible
and
easy
conversation..
It
takes
time
to.
I
I
G
N
Thank
you
for
the
question..
No,
so
junk
pick
up
is
a
part
of
the
residential
garbage
and
recycling
service,
and
so
prop
218
requires
that
the
rates
we
collect
from
ratepayers
benefit
those
ratepayers
equally..
So
the
material
that
is
picked
up
an
illegal
dumping
is
funded
by
the
general
fund.
ok,.
So
it's
a.
G
M
For
the
presentation.,
I
I
think
one
of
the
best
things
that
that
we
can
do
is
is
advertise
for
the
illegal
dump
or
the
free
junk
pick
up
or
for
for
residents..
I
know
in
my
in
my
district.
I
get
a
lot
of
a
lot
of
compliments
on
that
program,
especially
as
it's
ramped
up
the
last
couple
of
years..
One
quick
question:
how
long
is
the
turnaround
if
a
homeowner
wants
to
request
junk
pick
up
to
the
moment
that
it
actually
gets
picked
up?
What's
a
turnaround
time
that
we're
currently
jeff??
What's
the.
A
Just
to
to
clarify,
since
I've
used
it
a
few
times
I
mean
most
of
the
turnaround
is
because
first
of
all,
you
have
to
wait
for
your
day
of
the
week
because
it
only
occurs
on
the
day
your
garbage
is
picked
up
and
then
so
you
go
online,.
You
make
an
appointment
for
whichever
week
you're
going
to
be
able
to
get
the
thing
to
the
to
the
curb
and
it
can
be.
A
What
shocks
me
actually
is
people
who
take
all
the
effort
to
strap
stuff
to
the
roof
of
their
car
and
rent
a
u-haul
for
dumpsters
for
dumpster
days
in
our
district,
when
they
can
just
pull
it
to
the
curb
and
let
it
get
picked
up
by
professionals
and
we
tell
them
and
they
still
seem
to
like
bringing
stuff
to
the
dumpster.,
but
you
know,.
We
have
to
service
the
already
paying
for
it
and
they
don't.
N
Jeff
and
valerie-
I
know
you
guys
have
and
we
do
look
at
it-
the
for
the
distribution
district
by
district,
because
one
of
our
objectives
is
to
ensure
that
there's
a
relatively
even
participation
throughout
the
city
and
that
helps
focus
our
our
outreach.
but
jennifer
valerie,.
Do
you
know
about
what
percent
trying
to
remember.
O
O
A
Surprised
at
that
high,
but
we
great
to
know
I'd
like
to
the
stats,
would
be
we
have
two
hundred
thousand
or
so
residential
single
family,
home
residential
customers..
So
how
many
total
pickups
have
there
been
and
then
how
many
unique
up
customers
have
there
been??
It
would
be
interesting
for
us
to
know
that
I
agree
with.
A
Think
our
as
our
counsel
office
is
promoting,
this
could
be,
could
be
impactful..
We
have
to
continue
to
remind
people
that
the
service
exists
and
that
it's
really
easy
and
there's
no
reason
to
wait
for
our
next
dumpster
day
or
be
to
dump
it
on
the
side
of
the
road
or
over
by
the
next,
buy
the
local
homeless
encampment,
which
is
actually
what
also
happens
along
the
side
of
the
highway..
A
N
Very
small
fraction
of
the
community,
but
it's
probably
more
than
we're
hearing
that
and
for
some
folks,
it's
physically
challenging
for
them
to
get
the
material
from
their
home
to
the
curb..
So,
like
you
have
new
furniture
delivered,
but
if
you
can't
get
it
to
the
curb
kind
of
thing
and
so
on
my
block,
we
just
try
and
help
each
other.
So
there's
any
way
to
weave
that
into
the
messaging
and
to
ask
for
a.
N
A
A
N
Structure
of
the
contract
today,
which
is
very
different
from
where
it
was
five
years
ago,
is
every
two
years.
We
do
a
curbside
audit
and
if
the
contamination
is
up,
we
pay
the
horler
more
as
an
as
a
way
to
reimburse
them
for
the
increased
costs
that
they
could
that
they
had
to
bear
because
of
the
contamination
and
then
there's
going
to
be
a
day
where
it
comes
down
and
then
that
payment
would
be
reduced
because
they
would
no
longer
be
bearing
the
excess
costs
of
contamination..
So
so
far,
this
is
our
second
time.
N
It's
only
gone
up..
We
didn't
foresee
cauvin
during
the
rate
setting
process,
but
you
know,.
I
think
it
did
work
out
more
more
fairly
for
our
haulers,
because
the
reality
is
the
contamination
went
up,
and
so
they
would
have
borne
those
costs.
And
so
at
least
there
is
a
mechanism
in
place
to
to
account
for
that.
right.
A
A
Now
we're
onto
as
everyone
knows,,
my
very
favorite
topic,
climate
smart,
carry,
go.
N
N
Think
we're
making
a
lot
of
progress.
we're
not
at
carbon
neutrality
yet,
but
but
we
are
definitely
gaining
a
lot
more
accelerated
movement
and
then
participation
from
the
community
as
well..
So
with
that
I'll
turn
it
over
to
julie,
benevento.
julie
is
our
deputy
director,,
a
leading
climate
smart
across
many
departments
in
the
city.
good
afternoon.
L
Really
quick
background.
we're
going
to
go
through
a
little
bit
background
on
climate
smart..
We're
also
going
to
provide
an
update
on
just
some
of
the
core
activities,
our
community
engagement
and
programs
and
policies,
and
then
give
you
a
look
on.
What's
on
the
horizon,
for
climate,
smart
and
just
as
part
of
our.
L
Background,
our
plan,
the
climate
smart
plan,
was
approved
in
twenty
eighteen
and
twenty
twenty
one..
We
adopted
a
resolution
setting
a
carbon
neutrality
by
2030
goal
and
in
twenty
in
june,
twenty
twenty
two
council
adopted
the
pathway
to
carbon
neutrality
by
2030,
a
plan
which
helped
to
prioritize
four
key
strategies:
around
zero
emissions
vehicles
reduce
reducing
vehicle
miles
traveled
by
twenty
percent;
switching
out
appliances
from
fossil
fuel
to
electric
in
carbon,
neutral
electricity
in
terms
of.
L
Some
of
the
core
activities
under
climate,
smart
city
staff,
have
acquired
three
point:
five
million
in
direct
funding
and
resources
in
this
reporting
period..
So
we're
looking
at
these
september
through
february,
twenty
twenty
three
reporting
period..
This
is
helping
to
fund
community
resiliency,,
hub
design,,
urban
and
urban
freight,
pilot
design
and
bikeways
and
pedestrian
improvements..
L
K
Manager
of
planning
policy
and
sustainability
and
dotti,
um,
last
year
was
a
really
big
year
for
transportation
planning
and
new
programs..
We've
talked
a
lot
about
them
in
a
cap.
we're
going
to
highlight
one
that
happened
right
at
the
end
of
the
year
in
our
last
reporting
period,
which
is
council's
adoption
of
the
transportation
demand
management
and
parking
ordinance
update..
As
you
know,
this
removed
all
parking
minimums
across
the
city
and
if.
K
K
The
country-
that's
pretty,
we
were
leading
or
one
of
the
leading
cities
in
that
importantly,
we
did
add,
of
course,
the
transportation
demand
management
side
to
the
other
side
of
the
coin.
Here,
right.
build
less
parking.,
make
sure
you're
still
investing
in
the
transportation
system
for
those
who
are
not
using
the
automobile
and
kind
of
help
make
that
economy
work
out
better,
and
that,
of
course,
is
shifting
trips
over
that
rule.
K
P
Afternoon,
kate.
senior
environmental
program
manager
with
the
community
energy
department,.
The
first
program
to
talk
about
under
zero
emission
vehicles
is
the
california
electric
vehicle
infrastructure,
program,,
also
known
as
khaleb
vpe..
This
is
a
partnership
with
the
california
energy
commission
to
provide
14
million
in
rebates
to
install
level
two
fast
chargers
at
multifamily,
housing,
workplaces
and
public
places
it
launched
in
late
2020
and.
P
Chargers
will
continue
to
be
installed
through
twenty
twenty
five.
about
thirty.
Five
percent
of
the
funding
will
go
towards
chargers
located
in
communities
that
the
state
defines
as
low
income
or
disadvantaged,
and
so
far
one
hundred
level
two
and
eleven
direct
current
fast
chargers
have
been
installed..
In
november,
the
city
council
approved
san
jose
clean
energy's
fast
charging
pilot
project
which
aims
to
install
more
charging
infrastructure
in
areas
lacking.
P
Infrastructure
and
increasing
adoption.,
and
so
the
city
through
this
pilot,
will
enter
into
pay
for
performance
tolling
agreements
with
one
or
more
developers
who
will
own
operate
and
maintain
the
hubs.,
and
we
believe
this
contracting
structure
will
result
in
higher
reliability
and
importantly,
san
jose.
Clean
energy
will
set
retail
pricing
with
the
goal
of
making
charging
affordable
for
residents
of
the
surrounding
neighborhoods
and
incentivizing
middle
of
the
day.

Upgrade
to
total
green
for
one
hundred
percent
renewable
energy.-
we
now
have
more
than
seventeen
hundred
and
to
meet
this
demand
for
renewable
energy.
We
continue
to
contract
for
new,
renewable
and
reliability
resources,
including
solar,,
wind,,
short
and
long
duration,
battery
storage
and
geothermal..
Some
resource
have
resources
have
already
begun
operating,
while
some
will
come
online
in
the
next
several
years
and
together,
these
resources
will
provide
enough
renewable
energy
to
power.
About
three
hundred
thousand
homes.
P
P
Also
launched
energy
efficiency
programs
in
september
twenty
twenty
two,
and
these
will
run
through
the
end
of
twenty
twenty
four..
We
are
offering
a
residential
program
called
the
home,
applying
home
appliance
savings
program,
which
offers
50
to
70
percent
discounts
on
efficient
electric
appliances
like
refrigerators,,
washers
and
dryers,
as
well
as
free,
smart,
thermostats
and
two
groups
are.
P
P
P
L
Twenty
two
staff
executed
four
year
agreement
with
block
power..
This
was
for
our
building,
electrification
and
workforce
development.
Accelerator
program.
we're
expecting
to
launch
through
that
program
a
turnkey
electrification
services
for
residential
customers
in
the
next
reporting
period.
we're
targeting
two
hundred
and
fifty
upgrades
for
buildings
and
fifty
contractors
to
receive
electrification,
workforce
training
and
on
the.
L
Electrification,
workforce
development
front
we've
been
working
with
labor
organizations
and
local,
regional
and
statewide
organizations
to
leverage
available
resources
and
bring
training
to
contractors
in
san
jose..
We've
also
been
developing
a
contractor
list
and
a
survey
in
order
to
determine
what
is
the
best
method
to
reach
contractors
and
communicate
with
contractors
in
san
jose
for
future
programing.
L
For
our
building
performance
ordinance,
which
was
adopted
in
twenty
eighteen-
and
it
applies
to
nonresident
social
and
multifamily
buildings
that
are
twenty,
two
hundred
twenty
thousand
square
feet
or
larger.-
that
program
is
actually
in
a
beyond
benchmarking
phase,
starting
in
twenty
twenty
three..
So
that's
going
to
require
that
buildings
meet
key
performance
standards
or
take
energy
and
water
efficiency.
L
L
Then
just
looking
ahead,
I
won't
go
through
this
full
list,
but
you
can
see.
We've
got
a
lot
in
the
works
and
several
milestones
we
anticipate
reaching
in
the
next
reporting
period,
as
well
as
several
large
items
that
we're
bringing
to
city
council
for
consideration
in
the
next
reporting
period
and
beyond..
So
with
that
we'll
go
to
questions.,
that's
great.
I
I
I
I
G
You
so
much.
first
off,.
I
just
want
to
thank
our
staff
for
their
excellent
work..
I
think
when
it
comes
to
climate
change,
that's
one
of
the
major
issues
that
are
at
the
forefront
of
all
of
us,
because
it
deals
with
the
city,,
the
future
of,
you
know,
the
world
and,
of
course,
our
city,
and
when
I,
what
I
believe
is
our
most,
you
know,
precious
assets,
which
is
our
our
children
and
our
our
next
generation..
G
We
looked
at
you
know,
and
I
agree
we
need
to
be
doing
this,
but
have
we
also
looked
at
the
potential
job
loss
that
may
be
impacted
as
we
move
into
climate
smart,
what
we're
already
doing
it?
But
as
we
continue
to
move
forward
on
this
plan,
and
if
there
is
any
way,
I
don't
know
to
offset
some
of
the
job
loss,,
whether
it's
like
through
purple
pipe
projects
or
et
cetera,.
N
The
question.
you
know,,
we
do
have
a
desire,
as
you
know,
to
significantly
expand
purple
pipe
and
are
looking
for
funding.
the
real
logjam
on
that
one
is
how
to
pay
for
it,
and
so
so
what
we're
trying
to
do
is
is,
as
you
suggest,
look
at
the
the
many
things
we
could
do
and
then
say
know
which
ones
do
we
think
we
can
afford
if
not,,
how
do
we
go
get
money
for
them,
because
we
still
need
more
purple,
pipe.
N
N
right.
like,
if
maybe
it
makes
more
sense
to
do
more
purple
pipe
in
two
years
rather
than
today,
because
that's
when
there
will
be
a
pickup
in
electrification
and
a
slow
down
in
some
piping..
So
we're
looking
to
to
sort
of
stage
those
to
the
way
that
it
makes
sense
for
the
labor
force..
But
it
also
makes
sense
for
us
economically.
right,,
because
if
there's
more
work
than
workers
right
now,
it's
going
to
be
more
expensive..
So
we
want
to
balance
all
that
together..
That
makes
total.
G
Sense-
and
I
appreciate
you
acknowledging
staff's
concern
and
attention
on
that
sensitive,,
you
know,
topic,
because
there's
multiple,
you
know,
groups,
you
know,,
obviously
electricians
would
benefit
from
the
electrification
and
pipefitters
wouldn't.
right.,
and
so
it's
like
balancing,,
you
know,,
because
it's
so
someone
who's
been
in
the
pipe
trades
for
twenty
or
thirty
years..
Oh
yeah.,
there's
going
to
new
jobs,
go
through
the
ibew
apprenticeship,
program.
right.
G
that
may
not
be
as
well
received.
Then
somebody
coming
out
of
college
or
high
school
who
are
like
hey,.
I
want
this
career,
so
you
know,
purple
pipes
are
something
that
I
definitely
think
are
one
avenue.,
but
you
mentioned
funding
so
happy
that
you
know,
consider
me
as
a
partner.
I'd
love
to
identify
waste,
because
I
want
to
preserve
as
many
jobs
that
pay
a
livable
wage
here
that
don't
require
a
degree
and.
G
N
N
Ok,,
that
would
be
shocking
for
me
and
probably
for
jill
too.,
but
but
you
know,,
just
balancing
how
that
feels..
We
do
a
lot
of
that
at
the
regional
wastewater
facility
as
well
as
we
have
all
this
new
equipment
coming
on.,
you
know,,
we
try
to
say
hey,
who's,
who's
interested
in
learning
that
and
who
wants
to
stay
with
you
know,,
the
stuff
that
they
built
their
career
on
and
we
need
both.
N
L
Mention
to
you,
because
we
have
been
talking
about
the
pipefitters
and
we
connected
them
with
the
regional
workforce
is
happening..
It's
a
group.
That's,
I
think
it's
mainly
based
out
of
the
east
bay,
but
they're,
also
working
to
san
francisco,
and
we
just
recently
joined
as
well
to
talk
about
how
do
we
make
this
transition
right.
L
and
then
they've
also
been
working
with
us
and
we're
looking
to
have
them
on
our
community
advisory
board
for
the
block
power,
so
that
we
can
make
sure
that
we,
you
know,,
consider
their
what
they're
interested
in
as
well.,
and
I
think
from
what
my
initial
conversations
with
them,.
It
did
seem
like
they.
L
N
L
It
foley
established
right
now,
so
we're
just
looking
we're
trying
to
recruit
to
bring
people
on
as
part
of
this
community
advisory
board
for
black
power,
so
that
that
board,
the
intent
is
for
them
to
help
develop
the
program..
So
both
the
accelerator
program,
but
also
the
workforce
development
portion
of
that.
L
so
kind
of
two
aspects
of
it
and
they
and
they
actually
probably
will
be
two
separate
groups
like
a
workforce
development
group
and
then
the
community
advisory.,
but
they
so
we're
looking
at
community
based
organizations
and
trying
to
see
who
would
be
interested
to
help
to
build
up
that
program..
L
We
just
want
to
make
sure
also
that
the
outreach
part
of
it
is
you
know,,
makes
sense
and
is
reaching
the
right
people,
because
it
does
have
a
component
focus
on
disadvantaged
communities
in
san
jose
and
helping
to
do
upgrades
in
those
homes
as
well
..
So
um,.
That's
all
we
have
right
now.,
but
we'll
have
more
in
a
couple
of
weeks,
probably
because
we're
trying
to
recruit
right
now
for
that
board
or
intentional
strategy
with
block.
N
Powers,
because
it
is
such
an
important
endeavor
for
us,
is
not
to
have
it
just
be
city
staff
thoughts,
because
I'm
not
a
pipefitter.,
I
don't
know
what's
out
there
and
so
making
sure
we're
getting
of
folks
that
are
most
impacted
and
most
knowledgeable
helping
to
shape
and
create
the
the
program
so
that
it
hits
the
right
spots.
well,.
I.
G
G
M
Staff
for
the
presentation.,
I
think,
ensuring
we're
moving
the
needle
on
our
juror
detection
targets
is
imperative
of
what
we
do,
especially
for
like
my
colleagues
and
for
our
future
generations..
I
have
a
question
on,
I
think,
we're
doing
a
great
job
on
the
electrification
and
doing
what
we
can
with
with
our
with
our
grid.,
but
with
regards
to
water
use,
efficiency
and
looking
at
reach
codes
pertaining
to
the
the
reducing
the
use
or
what
we
can
decentralize
the
use
of
water
in
our
future
development
targets.
M
M
N
That
and
we
are
working
on
kind
of
the
whole
water
supply
picture
and
understanding,.
You
know,
what
options
we
have
today,
but
also
what
future
needs
will
be
and
how
we,
with
a
particular
focus
on
reducing
the
demand
on
potable
water,
since
that
sort
of
has
very
unique
uses,
and
then
there
are
things
like
fifty
percent
of
our
uses
outdoors..
How
do
we
not
use
potable
water
for
that
where
it
makes
sense,
and
so
we're
shaping
up
that
planning
with
a
lot
more
insight
will
be
able
to
then
say,
you
know,.
N
Should
we
do
what
some
cities
have
done
and
say
if
you're
within
this
proximity
to
a
purple
pipe
you
have
to
connect
or
you
have
to
do
a
plumber.-
we're
not
really
ready
to
make
that
call.
Yet
because
there
are
some
some
economic
factors
and
it
does
having
recycled
water
in
your
building
does
increase
the
staff
you
have
to
have
and
how
you
maintain
it.,
and
so
we
want
to
make
sure
it
gets
to
the
desired
results..
N
B
Pressure
asking
deputy
city
manager-
I
think
carrie's
right
on
point
and
I
think,
regardless
of
where
we
are
in
in
the
flood
or
drought
cycle,.
I
think
we're
working
to
make
conservation
as
a
way
of
life
and
and
to
point
back
to
climate
smart..
The
good
life
2.0
is
to
do
that
in
a
way
that,
for
the
most
part,
people
don't
notice
the
impacts,
and
I
think
we
can
do
a
lot
with
that..
B
and
so,
in
addition
to
that,,
we'll
also
be
looking
over
the
coming
months
at
some
of
the
larger
water
uses
users
and
what
we
might
be
able
to
do
to
encourage
them
to
use
as
kerry,
said,,
more
recycling
for
things
like
cooling
and
other
uses
like
that..
But
I
think
it's
a
very
important
topic
and
we
we
do
hope
to
be
coming
back
to
this
committee
with
some
pretty
interesting
proposals
over
the
next
months
and
years..
Thank
you..
I
thank
you
for
your.
A
As
I
said,
I,
I
really
enjoy
this
topic
and
I
look
forward
to
a
lot
of
these
coming
actions
that
the
council
is
going
to
be
discussing
in
the
next
few
months,,
particularly
the
creation
of
a
climate.
Commission.-
I
think
that'll
be
great
to
get
people
involved
in
brainstorming,
how
we
move
forward..
I
have
a
few
just
a
few
questions.,
the
first
one
on
the
reach
codes.
I
know
we
were
supposed
to
have
a
conversation..
It
got
delayed
when
we,
when
we
discussed
that
item
at
this
committee.
A
L
N
A
Clean
energy
will
have
its
reserves
and
therefore
we'll
begin
to
start
being
able
to
invest
in
some
of
these
projects
from
some
other
types
of
funding
sources..
I
guess
my
just
more
basic
question.
Next
time
we
see
this
update
will
be
about
the
same
time
around
six
months
from
now..
Will
we
be
able
to
see
some
some
recommendations
as
to
how
we
might
be
investing
san
jose,
clean
energy
reserves
in
helping
us
move
the
needle
on
this
work??
Thank
you
for
your.
P
Not
have
reached
our
reserve
target
yet,
but
we
will
be
working
on
the
next
iteration
of
our
programs
roadmap,
which
will
be
due
to
tnt
and
early
twenty
twenty
four.
So
we
could
preview
some
things
we're
thinking
about,
but
it
will
be
foley
baked
in
early
twenty,
twenty
four
for
your
consideration.
yeah.
I.
A
Understood
that
that
we
were
going
to
reach
that
reserves
sometime
around
november,
so
that
means
we,
but
maybe
that's
changed
a
little
bit
since,
since
the
last
conversation
did
kip,
I
see
no.
No,
it
is
right
on.
I
think
it's
november.
B
December
I
mean
it
all
depends
on
what
the
energy
markets
are,
and
so
the
the
ideas
will
be
working.
Those
program
recommendations
in
anticipation
of
that
at
this
point,
as
kate
said,,
we
would
come
back
to
with
your
to
get
your
direction
on
how
we
approach
that
program
in
january,,
february,
march
timeframe..
We
can
shift
that
if,
if
that
direction
needs
to
change.,
but
that's
our
current
plan.,
I
just
want
to
be.
A
B
Fold
the
actual
budget
change
into
the
budget
process-
the
anticipation
at
this
point,
because
that's
we
don't
pull
out
those
funding,
kind
of
considerations
separate
from
the
actual
budget
process..
So
we'd.
We
would
fold
in
your
your
direction
on
the
from
the
program
guide
into
the
next
annual
budget.
Process.
ok,
thank
you.
and
then
the
last.
A
A
P
P
A
Yes,
I
guess
we
do.
ok,
I'll.
I
Thanks
for
the
meeting
today.,
we
need
to
quickly
go
to
my
feet
here
with
the
recent
arrest
of
an
epa
executive
manager
for
pharmaceutical
and
fentanyl
importing
and
distribution.
All
of
us
in
san
jose
in
the
san
jose
community
need
to
learn
how
to
develop
a
clear,,
honest
account
and
reporting
in
how
and
where
the
san
jose
pd
is
to
play.
I
There
are
many
good
guidelines
and
practices
that
everyday
people
of
individual
local
communities
can
can
begin
to
better
understand,,
develop
and
decide
around
the
concepts
of
human
rights,,
civil
rights,
worker
rights,,
civil
protections,,
open,
participatory
democracy
and
public
oversight
in
the
local
area
and
their
local
area.,
oakland's
life
philosophy
and
and
tech
accountability.
Ideas
are
two
examples
of
this..
