MEGAN
 HELLO, I COULD ASK OK,
THANKS HENRY.
>> WE'RE WE'RE GOING TO RESUME
WITH ITEM THREE POINT ONE
FIRST.
>> I'LL ASK TONI IF SHE MIGHT
CALL ROLL MINUS PERALEZ AIR .
>> PRESIDENT ROSCO ISN'T DAVIS
AIR ESPARZA HERE?
>> ARENAS FULLY FAIR.
>> YES.
HERE JONES A LICCARDO AND
PRESENT AS WELL.
>> TONI, THANK YOU.
>> THANK YOU.
GREAT OF .
>> ALL RIGHT.
SO RESUMING THREE POINT ONE I
THINK COUNCIL WOULD YET HOLD
THE FLOOR BEFORE HE CALLED US
ALL OFF TO LUNCH BECAUSE WHEN I
GET I'M I'M DONE.
>> THERE.
THANK YOU.
>> OKAY.
30 MINUTES THEY GIVE ME OR I
HAD A QUESTION FOR THE CHIEF
WHETHER HE IS TRYING TO SEE IN
THE HOLLYWOOD SQUARES BY SONG. 
>> HE'S NOT THERE.
THERE IS. 
>> CHIEF, I HAD A QUESTION
ABOUT THE AD ABOUT THE FIREBIRD
FIREBREAKS GENERALLY I KNOW
THOSE ARE TYPICALLY USED AND
CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG BUT
THEY'RE USED TO PREVENT THE
SPREAD OF FIRES. 
>> YOU KNOW I THINK THERE'S
TYPICALLY LIKE A BREAK IN
VEGETATION OR THINGS OF THAT
NATURE AND THERE'S CERTAINLY
SOME PARTS OF THE CITY OF ARE A
LITTLE BIT MORE RURAL IN
NATURE.
AND SO WHAT I'M CURIOUS ABOUT
IS IT HAS THERE BEEN LIKE AN
EVALUATION OF THESE FIREBREAKS
WHETHER THEY EXIST OR THEY NEED
TO BE IMPLEMENTED DIFFERENT
PARTS OF THE CITY BY THE FIRE
DEPARTMENT?
>> IS THAT SOMETHING YOU ALL
SORT OF TAKE? 
>> SO WITH REGARDS TO THE FIRE
THAT'S BURNING NOW SO THAT
CALAVERAS SOWN CANYON ZONE ALL
PART THE SANTA CLARA UNIT THAT
IS ALL STATE RESPONSIBILITY
AREA AND I CAN TELL YOU THAT
WHEN WEATHER AND CONDITIONS
PERMIT THERE IS AN ACTIVE
VEGETATION MANAGEMENT PROGRAM
FOR THAT VERY PURPOSE WHICH IS
TO CREATE AREAS WHERE FUELS ARE
NOT QUITE SO DANGEROUS AND
THICK AND HERE IN SAN JOSE A
IT'S ACTUALLY A PROGRAM THAT
I'M TRYING TO GET STARTED WHICH
WOULD BE A MORE ACTIVE
VEGETATION MANAGEMENT PROGRAM
UNDER A STUDY THAT'S CALLED THE
ESSENTIALLY IT'S A LAND URBAN
INTERFACE STUDY THAT IDENTIFIED
SOME AREAS WHERE WE MIGHT WANT
TO FOCUS OUR OUR EFFORTS WITH
REGARDS TO VEGETATION
MANAGEMENT.
>> AND IF IF I MAY ASK WOULD
IT?
ARE THERE ANY IMPEDIMENTS THAT
PREVENT US FROM MOVING THAT
FORWARD? 
>> WELL, PLANNING AND FUNDING
ULTIMATELY WE ACTUALLY HAVE A
GRANT PROPOSAL OUTRIGHT NOW TO
INITIATE SOME VEGETATION
MANAGEMENT IN COMING
PRE-SEASON.
AND SO IT REALLY WOULD BE A
MATTER OF RESOURCING AND
PLANNING ULTIMATELY.
>> OK.
AND THEN ARE THERE A TO THE
EXTENT YOU'RE AT LIBERTY TO
SHARE WITHOUT EXCITING SOME
FOLKS IN THE COMMUNITY BUT ARE
THERE ANY PARTS OF THE CITY
THAT WE NEED TO COVER AN EXTRA
SORT OF SET OF EYES ON AND JUST
WATCHING IT VERY CLOSELY AND I
ASSUME THAT IF THAT'S NEEDED
THAT YOU'RE PROBABLY ALREADY
DOING SOME OF THAT. 
BUT I'M CURIOUS IF THERE ARE
ANY PARTS OF THE CITY YOU THINK
NEED TO BE WATCHED A LITTLE BIT
MORE CAREFULLY? 
WELL, I THINK OUR OUR FIRE
HISTORY TELLS US QUITE A BIT
ABOUT ABOUT WHERE OUR HAZARDS
ARE GENERALLY BUT CERTAINLY IN
SOUTH SANTA SAY MOST RECENTLY,
YOU KNOW, A SANITARY SPARK AND
AREAS WE HAD TO CALL HIM FIRE
EARLIER THIS YEAR THAT IS THAT
HILL BURNS FROM BLOSSOM VALLEY
INTO ALMA DEATH VALLEY AND IS A
COMMON HAZARD THAT WE LOOK AT .
THERE'S ACTUALLY SOME STATE
RESPONSIBILITY AREA ON THAT
HILL CAP AS WELL.
>> AND THEN CERTAINLY ALL ALONG
OUR EASTERN OR EASTERN EDGE
WHICH IS ACTUALLY AREA THAT WE
COVER FOR THE COUNTY UNDER
AGREEMENT WITH THE COUNTY IT'S
NOT CITY PROPER AREA BUT
THERE'S QUITE A BIT
OF RESIDENTS RESIDENTIAL AREAS
THAT ARE INTERMIXED WITH THE
NATURAL VEGETATION THERE THAT
WE WANT TO FOCUS AS WELL.
>> OK.
>> ALL RIGHT.
YOU KNOW, I SUSPECT AS A
POTENTIALLY OTHER COUNCIL
MEMBERS FEEL THE SAME WAY.
BUT THE THE THE FIRES AND SUCH
WHATEVER IT WAS THAT STARTED
THEM WAS REALLY BROUGHT TO THE
FOREFRONT.
SOME OF THE GENERAL CONCERNS
AT LEAST MY CONSTITUENTS HAVE
HAD OVER THE YEARS AS IT
RELATES TO FIRES AND SUCH. 
SO I GUESS WHAT I'M CURIOUS
ABOUT IS DO YOU WEAR.
AS IT RELATES TO MANY OF THE
THINGS WE DISCUSS HERE ACCOUNT
SO DO YOU THINK THAT WE'LL HAVE
A CHANCE TO DIG A LITTLE DEEPER
AS TO FIRE MITIGATION AND
THINGS OF THAT NATURE AS IT
RELATES TO SOME OF THE THINGS
YOU'VE TOUCHED ON? 
I MEAN IS THERE ANYTHING GOING
TO COME TO HIS OFFICE OR BEFORE
US HERE AT COUNCIL AGAIN OR AS
A COMPONENT OF THE OF THE WORK
PLAN THAT I'VE ASSIGNED TO OUR
FIELD OPERATIONS BUREAU? 
>> AND SO I CAN CERTAINLY LOOK
FOR AN UPDATE AND GET A BETTER
TIMELINE THAN I CAN.
I CAN LET YOU KNOW ABOUT TO
GIVE EVEN IF IT'S A MEMO THAT
COULD BE GREAT TO JUST GIVE AN
UPDATE. 
YOU KNOW, IF THERE'S ANYTHING
WE CAN DO OR EVEN LEANING ON
OUR STATE PARTNERS TO REALLY
GET SOME OF THE STUFF DONE TO
THE EXTENT THEY'RE NEEDED. 
SO.
SO WITH THAT THOSE ARE ALL MY
QUESTIONS.
I JUST WANT TO THANK YOU AND
YOUR AND THE DEPARTMENT FOR FOR
ALL THE WORK YOU ALL DID.
I KNOW THERE'S SOME REDS IN
SOUTH SAN JOSE AND I KNOW
THERE'S SOME RESIDENTS REACHED
OUT TO ME SAYING THANK YOU VERY
MUCH FOR MAKING QUICK WORK THAT
FIRE UP BY MANILA DRIVE AND
BRUNEL INTERMEDIATE MIDDLE
SCHOOL AND CURRY WAS REALLY
APPRECIATED. 
GOT IT.
I WAS DRIVING BY THERE SO I GOT
A CHANCE TO SEE YOU GUYS IN
ACTION.
VERY MUCH APPRECIATED.
SO THANK YOU.
THANK YOU. 
THANK YOU.
CARS ARE UNNECESSARY CERTAINLY.
GREAT WORK BEING DONE DOWN
KOUYATE PUT OUT THAT FIRE
PARTICULAR. 
I WANTED TO GO BACK TO LEAVE
FOR A MOMENT BECAUSE I THINK
LEE, YOU INDICATED YOU WANTED
TO HAVE A LOOK AT THE MAP.
IS THAT RIGHT?
>> ACTUALLY, I JUST.
NOT ANOTHER LOOK AT THE MAP.
MAYOR, I JUST WANTED TO KIND
OF CLARIFY A FEW POINTS THAT
WERE RAISED BY COUNCIL MEMBER
CARRASCO AND DIEP RELATED TO
THE CONFUSION AND LACK
OF CLARITY AND IT JUST WANTED
TO YOU KNOW, AS WE KIND OF IN
THE EOC AND SPEAK ON BEHALF
OF THE CHIEF AND I IS VERY
IMPORTANT WHEN AN INCIDENT LIKE
THIS OCCURS WHOEVER HAS COMMAND
OF THAT INCIDENT HAS THE
SPEAKING VOICE AND IN THAT CASE
IT IS CAL FIRE.
SO IT IS OUR JOB TO SUPPORT
THEIR OPERATIONS AND THEN ALSO
SUPPORT THAT COMMUNICATIONS, 
AMPLIFY IT AND SUMMARIZE IT TO
THE EXTENT WE CAN.
AND SO OBVIOUSLY THAT LAST LAST
WEDNESDAY NIGHT THE 19TH, YOU
KNOW, VERY EARLY ON FOR THAT
FIRE WHERE A LOT OF RESOURCES
FROM CAL FIRE WERE POINTED
AT THE ELLEN YOU FIRE AND
SANTA CRUZ FIRE EARLY ON THOSE
INITIAL BOUNDARIES THAT CAME IN
FROM CAL FIRE.
I JUST WANTED TO SAY THAT THEY
WERE CONFUSING FOR US AS WELL.
AND OFTENTIMES EARLY IN SOME
OF THESE EMERGENCIES WE DO HAVE
THAT LACK OF PRECISION.
AND SO WE WERE WE WERE
MOBILIZED VIRTUALLY AND WORKED
INTO THE EARLY PARTS OF THE
MORNING AS AN EOC TO REALLY
BETTER UNDERSTAND AND CLARIFY
THOSE BOUNDARIES FOR THE PUBLIC
TO BECAUSE WE HAD BEEN TOLD
VERY CLEARLY AND GRANTED IT'S
CAL FIRE BEING ABLE TO SAY THIS
MESSAGE THAT THERE ARE NO
EVACUATIONS OR WARNING
EVERYTHING IS EAST OF SAN JOSE
LIMITS.
BUT WHEN YOU FOLLOWED THAT
OUTLINE, IT DID BRING PARTS
OF THE CITY POTENTIALLY IN. 
AND SO WE WERE TOLD THOSE WERE
A MISTAKE AND THAT IT WOULD
TAKE CAL FIRE GIVEN THEIR
RESOURCES A FEW DAYS TO CLARIFY
THAT OR PUT UP A MAP.
SO WE MADE THE DECISION TO NOT
PRODUCE THAT MAP THAT NIGHT AND
WORK THROUGH THE NIGHT TO GET
THE DATA ALONG WITH THE COUNTY
IN PARTNERSHIP TO PRODUCE MAPS
EARLY ON IN THE MORNING SO WE
COULD MORE CLEARLY INEFFECTIVE
COMMUNICATE WITH THE PUBLIC ON
WHAT CAL FIRE WAS TRYING TO
SAY.
SO DID JUST WANT TO ACKNOWLEDGE
YOU KNOW, THERE WAS A 12 HOUR
PERIOD THERE IN THE EOC WHERE
WE WERE TRYING TO GET THAT
CLARITY FROM CAL FIRE AND WORK
WITH THE CHIEF AND HIS TEAM TO
BETTER UNDERSTAND WHAT THE FIRE
WOULD DO THAT NIGHT.
AND IT WAS SO FAR OFF FROM
SAN JOSE'S BORDERS AT THAT
POINT WE WORKED TO CLARIFY THAT
AND GET ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
OUT IN THE MORNING.
SO JUST WANTED TO CLARIFY IF I
COULD ADD TO THAT I DID GET AN
EARLY CONTACT WITH INCIDENT
COMMAND. 
>> THE REALITY OF THE TIME
PERIOD WHEN THOSE ORDERS WERE
COMING OUT WAS THAT THEY WERE
DEFENDING STRUCTURES IN THE
CANYON ZONE.
AND SO ALMOST ALL OF THE
ATTENTION OF THE INCIDENT WAS
WAS RIGHTFULLY IN THAT
DIRECTION AND THE OTHER
EVACUATION ORDERS THAT WERE
BEING DEVELOPED WERE WERE DONE
QUITE HURRIEDLY AND REVISITED
FOR SEVERAL HOURS.
AND SO THAT PERIOD OF TIME
WHERE THERE WAS UNCERTAINTY
THERE WAS GOOD REASON FOR THAT
.
>> THANKFULLY OK. 
COUNCILMEMBER ARENAS, IF I MAY
START BY JUST REALLY THANKING
OUR FIRE DEPARTMENT ACCOUNT
FIRE POLICE DEPARTMENT EOC I
KNOW THAT YOU NOT NOT TO BREAK
SINCE ALMOST THE BEGINNING
OF THIS YEAR.
>> AND I THINK YOUR SKILLS JUST
REALLY CAME WERE REALLY
SHARPENED BY THIS BY THIS TIME
.
>> AND SO I THINK ALL OF THE
COMMUNICATION THAT I RECEIVED
FROM THE TEAM WAS JUST ON POINT
MY CONTACT WHICH WAS CAN WALESH
KEPT US IN MINUTE BY MINUTE
INFORMATION UPDATES. 
AND SO I REALLY APPRECIATE THAT
.
>> OF COURSE MY DISTRICT IS ON
THE BACKSIDE OF THAT FIRE AND
THERE ARE SOME UNINCORPORATED
AREAS LIKE COUNCIL MEMBER
CARRASCO MENTIONED EARLIER BUT
IN OUR DISTRICTS AND PEOPLE
DON'T REALLY UNDERSTAND WHETHER
THERE IS SANTA AS A PROP..
>> BUT IF THEY'VE EVER TRIED TO
ACCESS OUR SERVICES THEY
PROBABLY HAVE BEEN TOLD BEFORE
THAT YOU'RE NOT IN CITY OF SAN
AS A PROPER AND EITHER TALKED
TO THE COUNTY ABOUT IT.
BUT WHEN IT COMES TO DISASTERS
LIKE THESE IT DOESN'T REALLY
MATTER.
>> PEOPLE JUST WANT HELP.
AND SO I DO AGREE THAT AT SOME
OF THE COMMUNICATION COULD HAVE
BEEN IMPROVED IN TERMS OF CAL
FIRE BEING THE LEAD IN THE
COUNT AND THE COUNTY BEING THE
CONTACT LEAD IN THIS AREA.
>> MY QUESTION FOR ALL OF YOU
IS IS THERE GOING TO BE A
DEBRIEFING WITH THE COUNTIES SO
WE CAN PICK UP FROM LESSONS
LEARNED IN THIS PARTICULAR
INCIDENT? 
>> YES.
SO I WOULD DEFER TO CHIEF
SAPIENT ON THE FIRE PART BUT AS
AS WE ACTIVATED EOC, WE ALWAYS
DO SOME TYPE OF AFTER ACTION
REPORT.
AND I THINK WE CAN DEFINITELY
INCLUDE COUNTY COORDINATION IN
THAT.
I'D SAY WE WE ACTUALLY DID HAVE
A PRETTY GOOD COORDINATION
EARLY ON ESPECIALLY ON KIND
OF DIVIDE AND CONQUER ON SOME
OF THE MAPPING RESOURCES. 
BUT I THINK IT'S TIME WHEN IT
WENT ON THAT COORDINATION
BECOMES MORE AND MORE IMPORTANT
AS WE GET INTO OPERATIONALIZING
THINGS.
>> YES.
>> AND I'M NOT GOING TO SAY
THAT I HAVE MY OWN RESOURCE
PERSON BECAUSE MY CHIEF
OF STAFF PATRICK MCHENRY WAS A
GEOGRAPHY MAJOR. 
SO WE UNDERSTOOD VERY, VERY
WELL RIGHT FROM THE BEGINNING
WHETHER WE WERE INCLUDED. 
>> YOU KNOW, HE BROKE DOWN A
LOT OF THE MAPS THAT WERE
SOMEWHAT CONFUSING TO SOME
FOLKS THAT HAVE ALREADY
MENTIONED THAT THEY DID IT.
>> IT ALLOWED ME TO UNDERSTAND
WHO WAS INVOLVED AND WHO WASN'T
AND WHAT ONE OF MY TEAM MEMBERS
LIVES THE UNINCORPORATED AREAS
THAT WERE ACTUALLY EVENTUALLY
EVACUATED. 
BUT LET ME JUST SHARE A LITTLE
BIT ABOUT HER EXPERIENCE.
BECAUSE IT WAS A BIT CHAOTIC.
SO.
SO THAT NIGHT THAT THAT WE GOT
THE CALL FROM EOC CONTACTS FROM
KIM WALESH AND YOU WERE ALL
WORKING ON THAT MAP OVERNIGHT
TO FIGURE IT JUST MAKE IT MUCH
BETTER FOR THE NEXT DAY.
>> I KNOW THAT PEOPLE WERE
STILL FEELING VERY UNEASY AND
THEY WANTED JUST MORE
INFORMATION. 
>> RIGHT.
LOTS OF FOLKS STAYED UP AND
KEPT SENDING NOTES AND EMAILS
AND THINGS OF THAT SORT AND WE
WISH WE HAD MORE INFORMATION
BUT WE GAVE THEM WHATEVER WE
HAD AT THAT MOMENT. 
SO THAT VERY NIGHT THE
SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT WENT UP TO
THE HILLSIDES AND DISTRICT. 
>> THEY DIDN'T KNOCK ON DOORS
WHAT THEY DID IS THEY USE THEIR
WHATEVER SYSTEM THEY USE TO TO
TALK TO FOLKS THROUGH THEIR
THROUGH THEIR CARS AND JUST
WENT THROUGH THE NEIGHBORHOOD
SAYING, YOU KNOW, THIS IS A
VOLUNTARY EVACUATION REQUEST
FOR ALL OF YOU.
>> SO ON AND SO ON.
THAT WAS LIKE AT 430 IN THE
MORNING.
>> SO FOR A VOLUNTARY
EVACUATION REQUEST THAT IS ONE
OF THE MOST I DON'T KNOW
STRANGEST WAYS TO REQUEST
PEOPLE TO VOLUNTARILY EVACUATE.
>> WHEN YOU'RE CREATING A
LITTLE BIT OF CHAOS 430 IN THE
MORNING, NOBODY WANTS TO GET
ANY CALLS AFTER 1:00 A.M.
BECAUSE THERE IS BAD NEWS.
RIGHT.
SO BEING WOKEN UP AT 4:00 IN
THE MORNING BY THE SHERIFF, BY
THE SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT AND
WHETHER YOU UNDERSTOOD MESSAGE
CLEARLY OR NOT YOU'RE BEING
ASKED TO VOLUNTARILY EVACUATE
NOW YOU'RE ON NOTICE RIGHT NOW
YOU'RE ON HIGH ALERT AND SOME
FOLKS DECIDED TO EVACUATE.
SOME PEOPLE DIDN'T KNOW WHAT
HAPPENED AFTER THAT WAS THAT
THE SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT OR THE
ALERT SYSTEM NEVER GOT BACK TO
THESE FOLKS IN THIS PARTICULAR
AREA TO EVER SAY TO MOVE THE
EVACUATION WARNING TO AN
EVACUATION ORDER OR A
VOLUNTARILY VOLUNTEER VOLUNTARY
EVACUATE INTO A MANDATORY
EVACUATION.
>> AND ACTUALLY ONCE THAT THAT
CROSS THAT THAT MANDATORY ORDER
NONE OF THOSE NEIGHBORS KNEW
AND AND ACTUALLY THE PERSON I
AM REFERRING WENT BACK TO THEIR
HOME TO GET ADDITIONAL THINGS
BECAUSE THEY WERE OFF ON A
VOLUNTARY EVACUATION.
>> AND SO THE ONLY WAY THAT
THEY KNEW THAT THEY WERE GOING
AND THEY NEEDED TO EVACUATE BY
ORDER WAS BECAUSE THEY LOOKED
IT UP AND THEY LOOKED THROUGH
OUR INFORMATION THAT WE HAD AND
THAT WE OFFERED. 
BUT IT WASN'T BECAUSE THE THE
COUNTY LET THEM KNOW AND
THEY'RE THE ONES, YOU KNOW,
CLOSEST TO THE OTHER ISLANDS IN
THE HILLSIDES.
>> AND SO WHEN THIS PERSON WENT
BACK TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND
AND KNOCKED ON ALL THE
NEIGHBORS DOORS AND SAID, HEY,
YOU KNOW, IT'S AN ORDER NOW
EVERYBODY'S EVACUATE AND
EVERYBODY WAS LIKE WHAT?
WAIT A MINUTE.
NOBODY'S EVEN CALLED THOSE.
NOBODY'S EVEN TOLD ABOUT THIS.
AND THEN EVERYBODY DECIDED TO
DO WHATEVER IT IS THAT THEY DID
EITHER TO EVACUATE OR NOT TO. 
BUT FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND,
THERE WERE SOME WHO DECIDED NOT
TO EVACUATE.
AND SO FOR ME THAT CAUSES ME A
LOT OF CONSTERNATION BECAUSE
THESE ARE THESE FAMILIES THAT
ARE OUT THERE.
>> THESE ARE FOLKS WHO HAD THE
FIRE GONE, YOU KNOW, JUST A
LITTLE BIT BEYOND HAD THE
WIND'S BEEN A LITTLE DIFFERENT,
MAYBE WE WOULD HAVE SEEN A
DIFFERENT STORY AND SOME
OF THOSE FAMILIES WOULD HAVE
SEEN SEEING SOME DEVASTATION
FROM PROPERTY IN THEIR HOMES
EVEN MAYBE TO THEIR LIVES. 
AND SO MY MY THAT THAT'S ONE
OF THE REASONS WHY I REALLY
WANT THIS AFTER WHAT WOULD YOU
CALL IT AFTER CRISIS REPORT
AFTER ACTION REPORT.
>> THERE YOU GO.
>> ACTION IS NOT CRISIS BUT IT
FEELS LIKE A CRISIS. 
SO IN THIS AFTER ACTION REPORT
I THINK IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT
TO FIGURE OUT WITH THE WITH OUR
COUNTY PARTNERS THEY WERE THE
ONES WHO WERE POINT WITH CAL
FIRE.
HOW DID THEY MANAGE TO ALERT
PEOPLE IN THOSE AREAS
ESPECIALLY ON UNESCORTED
BREEDING AREAS IN OUR
DISTRICTS?
BECAUSE I FEEL LIKE THAT WASN'T
PROPERLY DONE WITH OUR
COMMUNITY AND YOU KNOW THAT
EVERYTHING IS GOOD NOW.
I THINK EVERYTHING IS VERY WELL
MANAGED.
THERE IS NO ADDITIONAL THREAT
OF DRY LIGHTNING AND NO
ADDITIONAL FIRES.
>> AS FAR AS WE KNOW ANYTHING
CAN CHANGE IN TERMS OF WEATHER
AS WE'VE SEEN.
BUT IN THE MEANTIME I THINK
THIS THIS IS THERE'S A LOT
OF LESSONS LEARNED FOR FOLKS IN
TERMS OF HOW TO NOTIFY OUR
COMMUNITY. 
>> I THINK THE CITY
OF STANDARDS I THINK WE DID A
REALLY WONDERFUL JOB IN LETTING
OUR FOLKS KNOW I SAW A LOT
OF OUR COUNCIL MEMBERS TWEETING
AND POSTING ON YOUR FACEBOOK
REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THEY THE
FIRE WAS IN YOUR AREA. 
>> I THINK WE ALL HAVE FRIENDS
AND FAMILY EVERYWHERE IN
SAN JOSE AND SO I THOUGHT THAT
WAS REALLY IMPORTANT.
AND WE WERE ALL ON THE SAME
MESSAGING. 
WE ALL WERE PROVIDING THE SAME
TYPE OF MESSAGE. 
AND WE'RE AS CLEAR AS WE COULD
BE IN TERMS OF WHAT WE
UNDERSTOOD THE MESSAGES TO BE
FROM CAL FIRE. 
AND I THINK THAT PIECE I THINK
WENT REALLY WELL.
I'VE GOT TO JUST ACKNOWLEDGE
EVERYBODY WHO IS PART OF THAT
THAT IT WAS A JOB ABSOLUTELY
WELL DONE.
THANK YOU FOR FOR SHARING ALL
OF THAT WITH US.
I THINK ONE OF THE AREAS THAT
JUST NEEDS SOME MORE ATTENTION
IS THAT CONNECTION WITH THE
COUNTY.
>> AND I KNOW IT'S VERY
DIFFICULT TO WORK WITH
DIFFERENT SYSTEMS BUT NOW THAT
WE HAVE SOME LESSONS LEARNED
UNDER OUR BELTS THAT WE CAN
POSSIBLY ANTICIPATE THIS MAYBE
HAPPENING EVERY YEAR THAT
POSSIBLY RIGHT.
WE JUST NEVER KNOW THAT WE HAVE
A BETTER PLAN FOR OUR COMMUNITY
MEMBERS.
AND I REALLY APPRECIATE THAT
QUESTION THAT YOU POSED EARLIER
,COUNCIL MEMBER DAVIS ABOUT
THOSE FOLKS WHO ARE NOT ABLE TO
EVACUATE ON THEIR OWN.
AND HOW DO WE HELP THOSE FOLKS
?
I KNOW IN MY DISTRICT WE HAVE A
COUPLE OF MOBILE HOME CAMPS AND
AND DEFINITELY A LOT OF LONG
TERM SENIOR CARE FACILITIES.
>> WE HAVE VILLAGES WHICH IS
JUST A HUGE, HUGE COMMUNITY.
AND SO HOW WE PREPARE THEM SO
THAT THEY COULD BE BETTER
PREPARED FOR NEXT YEAR FOR THE
NEXT YEAR'S FIRES HOPEFULLY
I'LL BE NEXT HERE AND I'M GOING
TO KNOCK ON WOOD. 
I THINK THOSE ARE THE THREE
POINTS THAT I WANTED TO MAKE ON
ON THE FIRES.
ASIDE FROM JUST MY AND MY DEEP
GRATITUDE TO ALL THOSE FOLKS
WHO PUT THEIR THEIR LIVES
AT RISK AND THEIR WELLBEING
AT RISK TO PROTECT US AND TO
PROTECT OUR PROPERTY, I JUST
THERE'S JUST NO WORDS FOR THEM
AND FOR THOSE ACTS OF HERE
HONEST FOR FOR SHERO AND HERO
FOR OUR FIRE DEPARTMENT AND OUR
POLICE DEPARTMENTS. 
I'M REALLY GRATEFUL FOR THAT.
I KNOW A LOT OF FAMILIES HAD
CONVERSATIONS WITH THEIR
CHILDREN ABOUT WHAT DOES IT
MEAN IF WE EVACUATE? 
NO, I HAD THAT CONVERSATION
WITH MY CHILDREN TWO AND YOU
KNOW, THEY GET CHILDREN GET A
LITTLE MORE STRESSED OUT WHEN
THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT'S
HAPPENING NEXT. 
AND SO I THINK IT WOULD BE
WONDERFUL TO ALSO CONNECT WITH
THE SCHOOLS AND FIGURE OUT THE
MESSAGING THAT COULD ALSO BE
INCORPORATED INTO OUR SCHOOL
TIME WHEN THESE THINGS HAPPEN,
ESPECIALLY NOW THAT WE'RE
EVERYBODY'S ON ZOOM AND IT'S SO
MUCH MORE EASIER TO GET THIS
INFORMATION TO OUR TEACHERS IN
THAT WAY.
OUR STUDENTS ARE ALSO IN THIS
NETWORK OF SUPPORT AT HOME, 
AT SCHOOL AND RIGHT NOW NOT IN
THEIR NEIGHBORHOOD BUT
AT LEAST TWO OUT OF THREE ISN'T
BAD.
SO THAT IS ANOTHER POINT I
WANTED TO MAKE IS HOW DO WE
BRING IN OUR SCHOOLS TO MAKE
SURE THAT OUR CHILDREN ARE ABLE
TO FOCUS ON SCHOOL AND NOT BE
WORRIED ABOUT WHAT DO THEY NEED
TO EVACUATE WITH BECAUSE YOU DO
HAVE TO THINK WELL WHAT I TAKE
WE DID DO THAT EXERCISE
TOGETHER AS A FAMILY.
WHAT WOULD WE TAKE?
OF COURSE OUTSIDE OF WHAT WAS
ON A CHECKLIST FOR AN
EVACUATION KIT, WHAT ELSE WOULD
WE TAKE?
AND SO I THINK IT'S AN
IMPORTANT CONVERSATION TO HAVE
WITH OUR CHILDREN.
SO MOVING ON FROM THE FIRE AND
THANK YOU SO MUCH, CHIEF SAFIAN
FOR YOUR LEADERSHIP.
>> I WANTED TO MOVE ON TO THE
LEGISLATIVE TEAM AND THAT THERE
REPORT THAT THEY GAVE.
I DON'T BELIEVE THEY GAVE IT
ANY INFORMATION ON THE
EXEMPTION OF CHILD CARE. 
OH, I KNOW.
SO I WANTED TO GET FIRST THE
STATUS WHAT WHAT?
WHERE ARE WE IN TERMS OF THE
EXEMPTION FOR CHILD CARE AND
THAT EXEMPTION THAT WE WERE
BENEFITING FROM IN ORDER TO
PROVIDE FULL DAY CHILD CARE AND
THAT EXEMPTION WAS AFFORDED TO
US BECAUSE OF COVID EMERGENCY. 
>> ARE WE ABLE TO EXPAND ON
THAT? 
TAKE THAT?
ARE WE ABLE TO ADDRESS THAT?
I THINK BECAUSE SCHOOL IS IS
FUNCTIONING THE WAY IT'S
FUNCTIONING NOW. 
I THINK OUR RECREATION
PRESCHOOLS AND OUR RECREATION
PROGRAMS WOULD DEFINITELY
BENEFIT CONTINUE TO BENEFIT
FROM THAT EXEMPTION THAT WE DO.
YOU KNOW WHERE IT'S AT THIS
POINT ONLY. 
SO I ALSO KNOW THAT CHILL IS ON
THE LINE AND SHE CAN ANSWER
THAT THE CURRENT STATUS PIECE
BUT WE DIDN'T HAVE SOME
CONVERSATIONS OF THE PARENT S
ABOUT THE NEED FOR FUTURE
LEGISLATION TO FIX ON A MORE
PERMANENT BASIS.
SO AS YOU KNOW IT'S PART OF OUR
LEGISLATIVE PROGRAM AND WE'RE
VERY INTERESTED IN LOOKING AT A
POTENTIAL BILL FOR NEXT YEAR TO
DO A MORE I CAN YOU SEE ME VERY
YEAH.
>> IT'S BEEN SAID THAT THE
CURRENT STATUS HAS BEEN THAT
THERE WAS A WAIVER ASSOCIATED
WITH THE ORIGINAL EMERGENCY WE
ARE CURRENT THAT THAT THAT
WAIVER WE UNDERSTOOD WAS NO
LONGER APPLICABLE DURING WHEN
SCHOOL IS IN SESSION.
AND SO THAT'S BEEN THE
CHALLENGE THAT NOW SCHOOL IS
TECHNICALLY IN SESSION ALTHOUGH
OUR CHILDREN CAN'T BE ON SITE
WHICH MAKES THE NEED FOR SOME
SORT OF CHILD CARE OR CHILD
SUPPORT PROGRAM REALLY
IMPORTANT. 
AND WE'VE BEEN WORKING TO
DELIVER THAT WITH PARENT S
OBVIOUSLY SO THAT THE CURRENT
SESSION IS WITHIN THE 15 WEEK
PERIOD THAT'S ALLOWABLE AS A
RECREATION PROGRAMING AND THE
NEED THAT WE WOULD HAVE IF WE
WANT TO CONTINUE PAST DECEMBER
IS TO GET EITHER AN ADDITIONAL
WAIVER OR APPLY FOR AN
EXEMPTION THROUGH A LEGISLATIVE
PROCESS THAT WOULD NEED TO BE
INITIATED.
AND I WOULD NOTE THAT WE'RE NOT
THE ONLY CITY THAT IS LOOKING
AT THIS.
SO IF THERE WAS THAT INTENT IT
COULD EASILY BE SOMETHING THAT
WE WOULD WORK ON WITH OTHER
CITIES. 
THANK YOU, JILL AND THEN IT IS
NOT SOMETHING THAT WE SHOULD
START WORKING ON NOW IN TERMS
OF COLLECTIVELY LOOKING EITHER
AT A REGIONAL EFFORT OR
STATEWIDE EFFORT.
>> I JUST THERE'S SO MANY
OF OUR CITIES THAT WOULD
BENEFIT FROM THIS ABSOLUTELY
FALSE. 
>> GENERALLY THE TIME RIGHT NOW
WHERE WE'RE STARTING TO PUT
TOGETHER A LEGISLATIVE PROGRAM
FOR NEXT YEAR.
SO THE TIMING WORKS REALLY WELL
FOR THAT.
OH, PERFECT, PERFECT.
SO WE'RE NOT.
SO WE'RE NOT NECESSARILY GOING
TO WAIT UNTIL DECEMBER TO START
WORKING ON THIS.
WE'RE GOING TO START WORKING ON
ON ORGANIZING TOGETHER EITHER
REGIONALLY OR STATEWIDE
WHATEVER THAT APPROACH IS THAT
WORKS THE BEST. 
BUT THAT LEGISLATIVE EFFORT IS
IS SOMETHING THAT YOU'RE
STARTING TO DO AS OF NOW.
>> CORRECT. 
>> YES.
SO GENERALLY DURING THE FALL
TIME IS WHERE WE EXPLORE
LEGISLATION.
SO THAT INCLUDES THE COALITION
BUILDING THAT YOU ARE TALKING
ABOUT.
WE HAVE CONVERSATIONS WITH THE
COMMITTEE CONSULTANTS
UNDERSTAND THE PAST HISTORY
OF SOME THESE ISSUES AND GET A
LOT ALL THAT WORK TOGETHER
JANUARY WHEN THE LEGISLATURE
COMES BACK IS WHEN AUTHORS
FORMALLY INTRODUCED BILLS. 
SO THE IDEA WOULD BE THAT WE'RE
READY BY THEN TO ACTUALLY
FORMALLY DO SOMETHING.
BUT I STILL SAID IT SOUNDS LIKE
THERE ARE STILL OTHER OPTIONS
TO GET SOME WAIVERS IN THE
MEANTIME THAT WE COULD TAKE A
LOOK AT AS WELL. 
>> GREAT.
OK, GREAT.
SO WE WILL GET READY TO PRESENT
IN JANUARY AND I THINK YES,
THERE PROBABLY ARE SOME OTHER
WAIVERS AND THINGS OF THAT. 
BUT I THINK THIS NEEDS ALMOST A
PERMANENT FIX NOT ONLY FROM
FOUR OUT OF FOUR OUR CITY
OF SAN JOSE BUT JUST REGIONALLY
BECAUSE OUR OUR FOLKS WORK
EVERYWHERE AROUND THE BAY AREA.
SO I THINK IT'S SOMETHING THAT
ALL OF OUR CITIES FOR THE
BENEFIT. 
THANK YOU.
AND I WOULD LOVE TO CONTINUE TO
GET INFORMATION ON HOW THAT
PROGRESSES AS THEIR EFFORTS
PROGRESS. 
THOSE ARE MY QUESTIONS.
>> I APPRECIATE IT.
THANK YOU.
>> MAYOR, YOU ARE ON MUTE.
>> MR. GOODMAN, I THOUGHT I
HEARD COLIN CARLSON ON CAMERAS
AND NOBODY HEARD. 
THANK YOU, DAVE.
YEAH.
>> THANK YOU, MAYOR.
I WAS WAITING FOR THE FOR THE Q
AS WELL UP YOU KNOW LAST WEEK I
ASKED ABOUT OUR COOPERATION ON
MULTI JURISDICTION COOPERATION
ON TRASH CLEANUP. 
>> NO I I I STILL SEE THE
GARBAGE PILES ON HOW 85 AN
AVENUE EXPRESSWAY. 
I'M ABOUT WHAT MY WIT'S END.
I HAVE PEOPLE WHO WANT TO DO
CLEANUPS CLANDESTINELY SO
SHOULD I TAKE MATTERS INTO MY
OWN HANDS OR WHAT SHOULD WE DO?
I'M TIRED OF SAYING THIS
JURISDICTION HAS THIS THIS
JURISDICTION HAS THAT.
SO DID I ASK THAT LAST WEEK AND
MAYBE EVEN THE WEEK BEFORE?
WHERE ARE WE WITH THAT
COUNCILMEMBER CAME AS THIS IS
JIM ORTBAL DEPUTY CITY MANAGER
LAST WEEK.
>> CAN WE TALK?
YOU INDICATED YOU WERE GOING TO
CONTACT ME AND GIVE ME DETAILS
ABOUT THE LOCATIONS THAT YOU
WANTED US TO LOOK TO. 
SO IF YOU WOULD DO THAT, WE'D
BE HAPPY TO LOOK INTO THAT AND
FIGURE OUT THE RIGHT
JURISDICTION TO TAKE CARE IT
AND ADDRESS IT.
SO IF YOU WOULD REACH OUT TO ME
THAT WOULD BE GREAT. 
I MEAN 90 PERCENT SURE THAT WE
DID WE WILL REACH OUT TO YOU
AND I WILL HAVE MY STAFF SEE ME
AND HOPEFULLY THEY'RE ALL
LISTENING AT THIS POINT.
>> AND IF BY THE END YOU KNOW I
MISSED IT, I APOLOGIZE.
BUT IF WE GET THAT WE'RE WE'RE
HAPPY TO INVESTIGATE IT AND
ADDRESS WE'RE PROBABLY SEEING
UPWARDS OF WELL OVER 100
LOCATIONS ACROSS THE CITY AND
WE WILL HAVE A REPORT NEXT WEEK
,A VERY THOROUGH REPORT ON ALL
THAT WE'RE DOING ON THAT AREA.
IT'S A MASSIVE SCOPE OF ISSUE
AND WE'LL BE REPORTING ON IT TO
THE COUNCIL NEXT WEEK.
>> SO.
WELL, I MEAN WE WANT TO KNOW IF
CALTRANS IS GOING TO HELP US DO
ANYTHING AND IN FACT WE WE I
REMEMBER EVEN ASKING MY STAFF
TO SEND YOU AN EMAIL ASKING
THEM LIKE HEY, CAN'T WE JUST DO
IT AND THEN CHARGE THEM FOR IT?
>> CHARGE CALTRANS OR CHARGE
THE WATER DISTRICT TO WHOEVER
ELSE.
KIND OF LIKE WE HAD AN
AGREEMENT WITH YOU.
>> THE TRAIN I SUSPECT IF WE
JUST DID THE WORK AND BUILT
THEM, I SUSPECT WE WOULD NOT
GET REIMBURSED.
>> YEAH, I UNDERSTAND.
BUT IT IS A COOPERATIVE
AGREEMENT WITH ANY AGENCY TO
GET REIMBURSEMENT.
>> WE ARE WORKING THROUGH A
COOPERATIVE GOP AND THEY ARE
BEING MORE RESPONSIVE ALONG
THEIR RAIL LINES IN THE CITY.
BUT I DON'T THINK DOING THE
WORK AND BILLING THEM THAT WE
GET REIMBURSED. 
I THINK I THINK THERE'S
PROBABLY NEED TO BE ADVANCED
DISCUSSIONS WITH THEM ON THAT. 
>> WELL, I WOULD.
>> WELL, MAYBE I'LL HAVE TO DO
A MEMO TO TOO.
IN FACT, THAT'S WHAT I'LL DO.
I'LL DO A MEMO BECAUSE I'M
AT MY WIT'S END AND I THINK I
MIGHT I MAY HAVE TO TAKE
MATTERS INTO MY OWN HANDS ON
THIS.
I JUST CAN'T KEEP JOHN MY
CONSTITUENTS A YOU KNOW, IT'S
NOT CALTRANS.
IT'S CALTRANS. 
IT'S THE WATER DISTRICT.
IT'S BLAH BLAH BLAH.
IT'S NOT IN MY DISTRICT
WHATEVER IT IS I HAVE TO KEEP
TELLING THEM AND IT IT'S IT'S
JUST GETTING RIDICULOUS.
>> I HAVE A SECOND QUESTION AND
I REALLY WANT TO THANK THE
CHIEF OF OUR FIRE DEPARTMENT. 
>> I MEAN OUR WHOLE COMMUNITY
HERE ESPECIALLY IN MY DISTRICT,
WE'RE ALL SURROUNDED BY, YOU
KNOW, OF GOOD THINGS, TRAILS
AND PARKS AND OFTEN FIRE DANGER
IN THE CENTURIES OF FOOTHILLS
LOST LIGHT UP ALL THE TIME AS
AS AS A SURGEON KNOWS ALREADY. 
>> BUT I DO HAVE A QUESTION IN
REGARDS TO ARE WE GIVING
SUPPORT TO CAL FIRE SAY YOU
KNOW, LIKE IN MORGAN HILL OR
SOMETHING BECAUSE I ACTUALLY
HAVE A LOT OF RELATIVES IN
MORGAN HILL AS WELL AND IS YOU
KNOW, TO LIKE TO STOP THE FIRE
FROM GOING FURTHER TO SEND HAS
A IS THAT SOMETHING THAT OUR
FIRE DEPARTMENT IS IS ACTIVE
WITH OR ARE WE TRYING TO BATTEN
DOWN THE HATCHES AND AND STICK
TO STICK TO OUR OWN CITY
PERIMETER PARAMETER?
>> THANK YOU.
COUNCIL MEMBER FOR THE
QUESTION.
SO SATURDAY HAS COMMITTED
RESOURCES IN SEVERAL AREAS. 
WE HAD COMMITTED RESOURCES TO
THE RIVER FIRE SOUTH OF SALINAS
TO THE SANTA CRUZ LIGHTNING
COMPLEX TO ELLEN YOU COMPLEX
AND TO SANTA CLARA UNITS
LIGHTNING COMPLEX. 
IN ADDITION, WE ALSO COMMITTED
FOUR ENGINES TO COVERING LOCAL
CAL FIRE RESPONSE AREAS.
>> AND SO WE HAVE ACTUALLY
SENDS EIGHT UNITS THAT ARE
COVERING CAL FIRE STATIONS IN
THE SANTA CLARA UNIT AS WELL.
SO WE'RE WE'RE SPREAD PRETTY
THIN AND IN FACT WE MAY HAVE
OUR TASK FORCE COMMITTED TO THE
FIRE AS WELL HERE BEFORE THE
DAY IS OVER.
>> WELL, LISTEN, I REALLY WELL
GOD BLESS YOU ALL.
YOU KNOW, I GUESS I COULD TELL
YOU THAT I DON'T KNOW HOW
YOU'RE ALL DOING IT.
MAYBE I JUST HAVE A WEAK SYSTEM
BUT I WAS OUT JUST WALKING TO
THE GROCERY STORE YESTERDAY AND
THERE WAS SO MUCH SMOKE I FELT
LIKE I SMOKED FIVE PACKS
OF CIGARETS AND I JUST COULDN'T
BREATHE.
>> AND I HAD A HORRIBLE
HEADACHE THAT I FELT LIKE I
EVEN NEEDED TO GO TO THE DOCTOR
FOR IT.
THAT'S HOW BAD IT WAS IN NIGHT
AND I JUST CAN'T IMAGINE WHAT
YOUR FIREFIGHTERS ARE GOING
THROUGH.
THANK YOU ALL FOR EVERYTHING
THAT YOU'RE DOING.
GOD BLESS YOU ALL AND THANK YOU
FOR THE REPORTS.
CITY MANAGER THANK YOU.
>> ALL RIGHT.
OTHER QUESTIONS I WANT ECHO ALL
THE THINGS BIG.
THANK YOU TO LEE WILCOX AND
EVERYBODY EOC FOR THEIR HARD
WORK.
AGAIN TO THE CHIEF CNN HAD AN
OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO MEET
SOME MEMBERS OF THE WILDLAND
TASK FORCE WHICH I GUESS JUST
BEEN CONSTITUTED AS A RESULT
OF THE DEPARTMENT'S ABILITY TO
ACQUIRE SOME MORE SOME MORE
APPARATUS AND IT'S REALLY GREAT
TO SEE, YOU KNOW, FOLKS WHO ARE
WILLING TO STEP UP FOR WHAT
MIGHT BE AN INCREDIBLY
DEMANDING AND GRUELING
ASSIGNMENT LIKE THAT AND
CERTAINLY SENSE NO HESITATION
FROM ANY OF THEM AND I'M JUST
GRATEFUL THAT THEY'RE WILLING
PUT THEMSELVES OUT THERE, I
THINK.
CHIEF, WE HAD FOR SEVERAL DAYS
FORTY 40 49 FIREFIGHTERS
DEPLOYED TO OTHER PARTS OF THE
VALLEY OUTSIDE OF OUR CITIES.
ALL RIGHT.
THAT NUMBER IS ABOUT RIGHT AND
IT'S BEEN CREEPING UP A LITTLE
OVER THE LAST FEW DAYS WITH
ADDITIONAL OVERHEAD POSITIONS.
>> OK.
SO WE'VE GOT A LOT
OF FIREFIGHTERS OUT THERE
SERVING RIDER VALLEY AND
SANTA CRUZ AND ELSEWHERE.
SO HE'S VERY GRATEFUL FOR ALL
THEY'RE DOING.
I WANT TO THANK ERIC ALLISON.
ERICA ALSO IN THE FIRE
DEPARTMENT TEAM.
STAN, GREAT JOB
OF COMMUNICATIONS. 
AND I SHOULD NOTE THAT SPEAKING
OF OUR FIREFIGHTERS, GOVERNOR
NEWSOME GAVE THEM A SHOUT OUT.
I THINK YOU HEARD A COUPLE
OF DAYS AGO IN HIS STATEWIDE
INTERVIEW WITH THE MEDIA I
GUESS HE RAN INTO SOME
FIREFIGHTERS WHO WERE COMING
OFF A FIRE AND I THINK THERE
WERE SEVERAL LEVIN OR SOMETHING
GETTING SOMETHING TO DRINK
BEFORE THEY'RE HEADING BACK
OUT.
>> ED JUST PRAISED THEIR THE
RESOLVE THAT THEIR JUST GETTING
SOME TO DRINK AND GOING RIGHT
BACK OUT TO WORK FOR YET
ANOTHER SHIFT. 
ANYWAY, I WANT TO THANK ALL THE
OTHER PARTNERS. 
YOU'VE BEEN HARD AT WORK HERE
THE COUNTY.
CAL FIRE RED CROSS WE'VE HAD
SOME PARTNERS HELPING OUT WITH
EVACUEES AND REALLY WANT TO
GIVE A BIG SHOUT OUT.
>> CARRIE ADAM TAVENNER, KIM
WALESH JUST A FEW DAYS AGO, YOU
KNOW WE THOUGHT A LITTLE BIT
ABOUT HOW WE MIGHT BE ABLE TO
HELP EVACUEES WHO ARE LOOKING
FOR PLACES TO STAY AND UNABLE
TO FOR WHATEVER REASON THEY
WERE UNABLE TO GET VOUCHERS OR
OTHER RESOURCES AND I HAD
TALKED TO JOHN MAJOR OVER JOHN
SOUTHWELL OVER AT THE MARRIOTT
AND HE NEATLY SAID, HEY, YOU
KNOW, WE KNOW OTHER HOTELS ARE
HIKING UP THEIR RATES AND
MAKING IT MORE DIFFICULT FOR
FAMILIES WHERE WE'RE CUTTING
OURS DOWN IN NINE BUCKS AND YOU
KNOW, IF YOU WON'T TELL ANYBODY
WHO'S EVACUATING AND GET IN
HERE WE'RE HAPPY TO DO IT.
AND SURE ENOUGH, CARRY EXAMINER
REACHED OUT JOHN THE FORTUNE
OVER TEAM SOUND IS A AND THEY
COORDINATED GETTING MORE DOZEN
HOTELS ALL TO SAY WE'RE GOING
TO CUT OUR RATES TO EIGHTY NINE
DOLLARS NINE DOLLARS I ONE
THAT'S SEVENTY NINE SO
APPRECIATE THEM ALL REDUCING
THEIR RATES.
I KNOW THEY'RE ALL STRUGGLING
MIGHTILY TO HOLD ON TO IT'S
BEEN A BRUTAL, DIFFICULT TIME
AND I DO NOT MEAN THEY CAN'T
JUST PAY THEIR STAFF SO
APPRECIATE THEIR EFFORTS, 
APPRECIATE THEIR BEING BE
STEPPING UP ALSO FOR THEIR OPEN
HOMES PROGRAM WHICH IS OFFERING
FREE PLACES TO STAY FOR AN
AWFUL LOT OF RESONANCE.
THIS IS A PROGRAM NOW NATIONAL
THAT STARTED HERE IN SATURDAY
WITH THEIR BP PARTNERSHIP AND
THEY CERTAINLY ENCOURAGE MORE
FOLKS WHO WANT TO OPEN THEIR
HOMES OR OPEN AN APARTMENT TO A
FAMILY NEEDING A PLACE TO STAY
DURING THE DURING THE EMERGENCY
PERIOD.
THEY WAIVE ALL FEES AND ALLOW
THE PLATFORM TO BE USED.
SO PLEASE GO TO OUR BABY AND
SIGN UP IF YOU'RE WILLING.
I ALSO WANT TO THANK CHRIS
THOMPSON OVER THE KNIGHT
FOUNDATION IN ADDITION TO WHAT
KNIGHT IS DOING AS THEY OFTEN
DO WHICH IS COMING TO THE AID
OF OUR COMMUNITY.
CHRIS AND I ACTUALLY URGED ME
TO TRY TO SEE IF WE COULD WORK
WITH HOTELS TO WELCOME PEOPLE
ON THE SATURDAY.
AND IT WAS REALLY HIS IDEA.
I WANT TO THANK CHRIS FOR THAT.
AND SADLY ENOUGH HE LOST HIS
HOME THE NEXT DAY.
SO WE KNOW FIREFIGHTERS ARE
LOSING THEIR HOMES.
IT'S HORRIBLE TO HEAR OBVIOUSLY
OTHER PEOPLE WHO BEEN DEEPLY
ENGAGED IN AND SUPPORTING OUR
COMMUNITY.
AND SO IT'S REALLY HEARTS GO
OUT TO OUR HEARTS GO OUT TO ALL
THE FAMILIES RIGHT NOW WHO ARE
STRUGGLING RIGHT NOW AS THEY'RE
LOSING THEIR HOMES.
SO I HAD NO QUESTIONS ON THIS.
>> HAPPY TO MOVE ON TO THE NEXT
ITEM UNLESS THERE IS OH, I'M
SORRY.
FORGIVE ME.
WE HAVE NOT YET HEARD FROM
REPUBLICANS GO TO THE PUBLIC
NOW.
FIRST MANNY DIAZ, WELCOME ANY

DEVICE AND WE'LL BE ABLE TO
HEAR YOU. 
>> MANNY, WE'RE STILL SEEING
THAT YOUR DEVICE APPEARS TO BE
MUTED, OK?
SO WE MAY COME BACK TO YOU.
MANNY WANTS TO SEE IF YOU CAN
FIDDLE WITH YOUR DEVICE AND
RAISE YOUR HAND AGAIN AND WE'LL
TRY TO COME RIGHT BACK.
MY MCCLOUD HELLO. 
MY NAME IS MOLLY MCCLOUD. 
ARE A NUMBER OF DIFFERENT
CONCERNS INCLUDING ONE WE'RE
AMPLIFYING AND SUMMARIZING WHAT
CAL FIRE SAYS.
CITY OF SAN JOSE.
LET'S DO IT IN A WAY THAT'S
ACTUALLY ACCESSIBLE. 
THAT MEANS THAT THERE SHOULD BE
IMAGE DESCRIPTIONS AND ALL TEXT
PEOPLE DISABILITY.
EVERYBODY WHO IS A RESIDENT
SHOULD BE ABLE TO APPLY.
I WAS ON THE THURSDAY CALL WITH
CARLO.
YES.
AND THAT WAS THE POINT THAT I
RAISED THEN WITH CAL FIRE.
I'M GLAD TO SEE THAT THEIR
TWEETS ARE NOW INCLUDING SOME
INFORMATION BUT WE NEED TO DO
BETTER.
SAN AND MAKING SURE ALL THE
RESIDENTS KNOW THAT ALSO
INCLUDES NOT RELYING ON
ACOUSTICAL DEVICES SOLELY.
THAT'S AN IMPROVEMENT FROM THE
TWENTY SEVENTEEN FLED.
BUT WHAT ABOUT PEOPLE WHO ARE
DEAF OR HARD OF HEARING?
WHAT'S THE PLAN?
I DON'T KNOW.
IN FACT NOBODY WITH
DISABILITIES WOULD BE ABLE TO
KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON FROM
SILICON VALLEY STRONG WEB SITE
BECAUSE THERE IS NO ACCESS
INFORMATION AND THERE'S NO
DISABILITY SPECIFIC RESOURCES.
THAT MEANS THAT IF I'M A PERSON
WHO RELIES UPON INSULIN I DON'T
KNOW WHETHER ANY OF THE HEATING
AND COOLING CENTERS OR THE
EVACUATION LOCATIONS ACTUALLY
HAVE REFRIGERATION. 
THE PLANS THAT ARE RELYING ON
V.A. AND MOVING PEOPLE OVER ARE
SO VAGUE BECAUSE I KNOW THAT
WHEELCHAIR USERS HAVE BEEN
BRINGING TO THE ATTENTION
OF CITY OF SAN JOSE AND THE
COUNTY THE INADEQUACY OF OF THE
RESOURCES CITY OF SANTA IS A
WHY AREN'T YOU INCLUDING PEOPLE
WITH DISABILITY AND ALL OF THE
SURVEYS THAT ARE DONE IN FACT
WHETHER IT'S PUBLIC OUTREACH OR
EOC PLANS, DISABILITY
SPECIFICALLY WAS LEFT OFF.
>> THEY'RE MOST LIKELY TO BE
LEFT BEHIND AND DIE AND THAT'S
COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE.
AND I'M SPEAKING FROM THE
PERSPECTIVE OF A PERSON WHO'D
WORKED IN THE EOC AT THE PSP S
SHUTOFFS AND WE ARE NOT
PREPARED DON'T RE TWEET WITHOUT
THE INFORMATION FOR EVERYBODY
TO READ. 
LET'S DO BETTER SATURDAY. 
THANK YOU.
LET'S BEGIN LOW THANK YOU. 
>> IN THIS TIME OF COVID 19 THE
STOCK MARKET ITSELF IS
CONTINUING TO KNOW HOW TO
DEVELOP INCREDIBLY VAST
MONEYMAKING SYSTEMS THIS TIME.
>> COVID 19 AS DEVELOPERS AND
CORPORATE ENTITIES ARE
CURRENTLY SITTING ON AND
AMASSING LARGE CORPORATE
RESERVES AT THIS TIME IT IS AN
IMPORTANT QUESTION AT THIS TIME
HOW THESE PEOPLE CAN USE THEIR
CREATIVE IDEAS FOR THEIR MONEY
TO BE MORE A PART OF THE
EVERYDAY COMMUNITY AND EVERYDAY
COMMUNITIES.
HOPEFULLY IN THE NEXT FEW YEARS
WE WILL HOPEFULLY BE MODERATING
AND SLOWLY REDUCING THE THREAT
OF CORPORATE 19. 
IT IS CONTINUING OUR GOOD
PRE COVID 19 IDEAS PRACTICES
AT THIS TIME THAT EVERYONE OF A
COMMUNITY CAN BE TAKEN CARE
OF AND ACCOUNTED FOR.
THESE ARE THE REMINDERS OF OUR
HUMAN CAPABILITIES AND DECENCY
EVEN IN ADVERSE CONDITIONS. 
THANK YOU.
I ALSO WANTED TO OFFER THAT
PRESUME TO PLEASE LEARN HOW TO
USE THE WORD VIETNAMESE ON
THEIR ZOOM APP.
THIS IS AN AWKWARD
UNCOMFORTABLE PREDICAMENT WE
ARE ALL IN AT THIS TIME BUT IT
IS A PROBLEM WE SHOULD ALL BE
ABLE TO AGREE THAT CAN BE
WORKED OUT AT THIS TIME. 
THANK YOU.
AND I ALSO WANTED TO THANK
YOURSELVES FOR MAKING SURE TO
MAKE KNOWN THAT WE NEEDED TO
VOTE ON ORDERS OF THE DAY.
THAT WAS REALLY NICE.
THANK YOU. 
THANK YOU.
THE PERSON WITH THE PHONE
NUMBER ENDING 6 2 6 2 0 MAN
COUNCIL.
>> THIS IS A SAD FINAL DAY.
I'D LIKE TO START BY GOING A
COUNCIL MEMBER HUMAN COME AND
THAT THAT FIRE STARTED
APPROXIMATELY 200 YARDS IN MY
HOUSE AND I WAS CONCERNED THAT
OUR, YOU KNOW, FIRE SERVICES
WOULD DEPLETED BECAUSE OF THE
FIRES.
THEY WERE NOT.
THE RESPONSE WAS IMMEDIATE. 
IT WAS EXTRAORDINARY AND I
REALLY WANT TO THANK THE PEOPLE
I MADE THAT HAPPEN.
BUT THE REASON I'M ADDRESSING
YOU SWEAR THE FIRE STARTED AND
YOU STARTED BEHIND A PROPERTY
KNOWN AS 272 CURIE DRIVE.
>> AND IF YOU I KNOW YOU CAN'T
DO ONLINE BEFORE YOU GO BACK TO
ITEM NUMBER TWO POINT TWENTY
SEVEN ON JUNE 25, 2002 COUNCIL
MEETING.
WE ACTUALLY CONTRIBUTED NINE
HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS
OF OPEN SPACE AUTHORITY FUNDS
TO BUY THIS PROPERTY THAT WAY
IN MARCH BY ANOTHER 9 THOUSAND
DOLLARS OF COUNTY PARK CHARTER
FUNDS. 
IF YOU DON'T LIKE OUR CHARTER
FUNDS ARE FOR EVERY THOUSAND
DOLLARS OF ALASKA'S VALUE
OF YOUR PROPERTY BEING 15 CENTS
FOR THIS.
SO PERSONALLY I'D PAY 150 BUCKS
A YEAR TO THE PARK CHARTER
FIRM.
THAT'S A PROPERTY I HAVE
ATTEMPTED TO BUY FOR FOUR
HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS. 
SO THE QUESTION IS HOW DID WE
END UP PAYING ONE POINT EIGHT
MILLION DOLLARS FOR IT?
THEN THE NEXT QUESTION IS THAT
PROPERTY USED TO BE OCCUPIED.
IT DEVELOPED A LEAK IN THE
ROOF.
I THINK 10 YEARS AGO THE COUNTY
RIPPED THE ROOF OFF, PUT THE
TOP ON IT, EVENTUALLY ABANDONED
THE PROPERTY AND LET YOU SPEND
ANOTHER HALF A MILLION DOLLARS
ON CONSULTANTS WITH DEVELOPMENT
.
MY QUESTION TO YOU IS WHY
AREN'T WE RESTORING THIS
PROPERTY HOUSING A POTENTIALLY
HOMELESS FAMILY IN EIGHT AND
AGAIN PROTECTING THE LOCAL
NEIGHBORHOOD BECAUSE THAT WOULD
BE SOMEBODY'S DAY.
KEEPING AN EYE ON WHAT'S GOING
ON BEHIND PROPERTY.
THANK YOU.
>> THANK YOU.
ASSEMBLY MEMBER D.S. WE'RE
STILL GETTING A NEW SIGNAL
APPARENTLY ON YOUR DEVICE MANY
SO I'M VERY SORRY WE'RE NOT
ABLE TO HEAR YET UNLESS YOU CAN
MUTE THE DEVICE.
MAYBE A SOFTWARE ISSUE.
I'M ASKING YOU TO READ IT.
OKAY.
THERE YOU GO.
I THINK YOU GOT YOUR MUTED NOW.
>> YEAH, MY I'M SORRY I MEANT
TO SPEAK ON ITEM THREE POINT
SEVEN.
I'LL GET OFF RAISING MY HAND.
OH OKAY GREAT.
WELL HERE THEN.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
>> YOU'RE RIGHT. 
>> WE'LL MOVE FORWARD THEN.
ITEM ON THE CONSENT CALENDAR
THERE ARE HOMES THAT COUNCIL
MEMBERS WOULD LIKE TO PULL. 
>> COUNCILOR DAVIS WANT TO PULL
ITEM TWO POINT SIX.
COUNCIL LADIES ONTO THE
RETIREMENT BOARDS COUNCIL
REMEMBER FULLY EMPLOYED HIM TWO
POINT NINE WHICH IS APPROVAL
OF SILICON VALLEY AGED LGBTQ
PLUS PRIDE WEEK.
CAN ARRANGE IT LIKE A.
TWO POINT TWELVE WHICH APPROVAL
THE WOMEN'S EQUALITY DAY
WOMEN'S SUFFRAGE CENTENNIAL
ANNIVERSARY HAS ON MEN AS I
THINK YOU ALSO WANT TO PULL AN
ITEM LEVEL PLEASE TO ELEVEN.
>> OKAY.
>> AND ELEVEN IS THE APPROVAL
OF THE MUSLIM AMERICAN WAY
APPRECIATION AWARENESS MONTH.
>> THEIR THERE ANY OTHER ITEMS
TO BE PULLED? 
>> OK.
WE'LL HEAR FROM MEMBERS PUBLIC
ON THE REMAINING ITEMS THAT IS
WE'RE GOING GONNA TAKE TWO
POINT SIX TWO POINT NINE TWO
POINT ELEVEN AND TWO POINT
TWELVE SEPARATELY AND THEN
WE'LL CONSIDER A MOTION JUST ON
THE REMAINDER.
CAST MEMBER I'M SORRY.
BLAIR BEEKMAN HELLO. 
>> I WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK ON AM
TWO POINT ELEVEN SO IF I CAN
WAIT UNTIL THAT ITEM COMES UP
PLEASE ADD THE. 
OKAY LET'S GO FIRST TO TWO
POINT SIX CAST MEMBER DAVIS
THIS IS THE ARE THE LAYERS ONTO
THE TIME. 
>> THANK YOU.
>> THERE ARE THERE'S SOME GOOD
NEWS FOR A CHANGE SO I WANTED
TO GIVE A REPORT AND I HOPE
THAT COUNCIL MEMBER FULLY WON'T
MIND.
I'LL GIVE THE REPORT AS WELL
FOR FOUR POLICE AND FIRE THAT
ALL RIGHT.
I WAS HOPING YOU'D COVER THE
SAME NUMBERS TWICE.
>> I'M HAPPY TO DO THAT.
IT'S IT'S EASIER TO DO IT THAT
WAY.
SO THE THE SECOND QUARTER
OF TWENTY TWENTY FOUR FEDERATED
PENSION PLAN IT WAS UP ELEVEN
POINT ONE PERCENT AND FOR
POLICE AND FIRE IT WAS UP NINE
POINT SIX PERCENT FOR THE
FISCAL YEAR TWENTY NINETEEN
TWENTY TWENTY.
>> THE FEDERATED PLAN WAS UP
THREE POINT SIX PERCENT AND
WHICH PUT IT IN THE TOP 14
PERCENT OF ITS PEERS AND FOR
POLICE AND FIRE IT WAS UP.
THESE ARE POSITIVE NUMBERS BY
WAY THREE POINT ONE PERCENT FOR
THE FISCAL YEAR 20 19, 20, 20
AND THAT PUTS THEM IN THE TOP
17 PERCENT OF OF THEIR PEERS.
SO VERY GOOD NUMBERS DID WANT
TO SAY OF COURSE CALENDAR YEAR
TO DATE THROUGH THE END OF JUNE
.
>> THE FEDERATED PENSION PLAN
IS DOWN 1 PERCENT AND POLICE
FIRE IS DOWN 2 PERCENT.
BUT THAT STILL PUTS BOTH
OF THEM IN THE TOP QUARTILE
OF THEIR PEER PLANS WITH WITH
ACTUALLY THE FEDERAL A PENSION
PLAN FOR THE FIRST TIME BEING
IN THE TOP 1 PERCENT OF THEIR
PEERS AND POLICE AND FIRE IN
THE TOP 12 PERCENT OF THEIR
PEERS. 
SO JUST FOR JUST FOR COMPARISON
,THE 10 YEAR PERCENTILE
RANKINGS FOR FEDERATED POLICE
AND FIRE ARE ARE BASICALLY
AT THE BOTTOM OF ALL OF THEIR
PEERS THERE IN THE NINETY NINE
THOUSAND NINETY EIGHTH
PERCENTILE.
>> SO I JUST WANT TO BE REALLY
CLEAR THAT THIS IS THIS IS GOOD
NEWS AND A DRAMATIC IMPROVEMENT
IN IMPROVEMENT IN PERFORMANCE
AND THAT THE CHANGES THAT THEY
HAVE MADE TO THEIR THEIR
INVESTMENT STRATEGY IN RESPONSE
TO TOOK OVER 19 HAVE DO APPEAR
TO BE PAYING OFF.
IT DID ALSO SAY AT THE AT THE
FEDERATED BOARD MEETING LAST
WEEK WE TALKED ABOUT WHEN WHEN
WE COULD HAVE A JOINT MEETING
AND I DID MAKE A
RECOMMENDATION.
I HOPE IT IS ALL RIGHT WITH ALL
OF YOU.
I DID MAKE A RECOMMENDATION
THAT WE MAYBE HAVE TWO JOINT
MEETINGS ONE BEING IN THE FALL
AND ONE BEING IN THE EARLY PART
OF 2021.
>> THAT WAY WE COULD HAVE A
DISCUSSION ABOUT A DEEPER
DISCUSSION ABOUT COVERT IMPACTS
ON BOTH THE CITY BUDGET AS WELL
AS ON THE RETIREMENT PLANS IN
THE FALL.
AND THEN WE CAN TALK ABOUT
OTHER OTHER ITEMS THAT WE WOULD
NORMALLY TALK ABOUT AT OUR
JOINT MEETING IN THE JANUARY
FEBRUARY TIMEFRAME. 
THAT WAS THE RECOMMENDATION
THAT I MADE.
I DON'T KNOW IF THEY WILL TAKE
THAT RECOMMENDATION BUT THEY
DID SAY THEY WOULD TAKE THAT
BACK.
SO THAT IS MY REPORT AND I'M
HAPPY TO TAKE ANY QUESTIONS OR
JUST MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE
IT. 
GREAT.
ANY QUESTIONS? 
THERE IS A MOTION IN THE SECOND
.
>> THIS IS TONI.
DID WE WANT TO TAKE COMMENT ON
ALL THE INDIVIDUAL ITEMS ONE
CONSENT CALENDAR MOTION FOR
EVERYTHING?
>> YEAH, WE CAN DO THAT.
WE CAN MOVE ON TO THE NEXT ITEM
THAT MIGHT BE EASIER.
SO WHILE IT GETS MORE BABIES
YOU CAN JUST WITHDRAW.
THE MOTION WILL COME BACK
WITHDRAWN.
>> THANK YOU.
COUNCIL MEMBER FOLEY WOULD LIKE
TO SPEAK ON ITEM TWO POINT NINE
WHICH IS APPROVAL SILICON
VALLEY LGBTQ CLASS PRIDE WEEK. 
THANK YOU, MAYOR.
I'M FILLED WITH JOY THAT WE'RE
ABLE TO LIGHT UP CITY HALL IN
PRIDE THEMED COLORS TO
CELEBRATE AGING LGBTQ PLUS
INDIVIDUALS IN OUR COMMUNITY
AND TO HONOR SILICON VALLEY
PRIDE'S EXTRAORDINARY WORK AS
AN ORGANIZATION.
SB PRIDE HAS SERVED AS
COMMUNITY IN INNUMERABLE WAYS
SINCE THEIR FOUNDING IN
NINETEEN SEVENTY FIVE AND HAVE
NOW CATERED TO THE UNCERTAINTY
THAT THE CURRENT PANDEMIC HAS
FORCED US TO FACE.
ALTHOUGH WE'RE NOT ABLE TO
CELEBRATE PRIDE WEEK AS WE
NORMALLY HAVE, I ENCOURAGE YOU
ALL TO TUNE INTO THE FORTY
FIFTH ANNUAL SILICON VALLEY
PRIDE CELEBRATION EQUALITY
RISING THIS WEEKEND AND SUPPORT
THE HARD WORK AND TALENT THAT
HAS GONE INTO MAKING THIS
VIRTUAL CELEBRATION POSSIBLE. 
WHILE THIS IS NOT A NORMAL
FRONT PRIDE FRANKLY NOTHING'S
REALLY NORMAL ANYMORE FOR US.
WE COULD TAKE THIS WEEK TO
REFLECT THE MEMORIES AS TO WHY
WE CELEBRATE THE LGBTQ PLUS
COMMUNITY AND THEIR ACTIVISM
THAT RESULTED FROM THE
STONEWALL PROTESTS OVER 50
YEARS AGO.
AND I'M PROUD OF SILICON VALLEY
PRIDE FOR ADAPTING TO THE
CURRENT CIRCUMSTANCES. 
THEY'RE ROLLING OUT A VIRTUAL
VERSION OF PRIDE AND I HOPE
YOU'LL ALL PARTICIPATE ON A
PERSONAL LEVEL.
I CELEBRATE PRIDE IN THE MEMORY
OF MY BROTHER TIM WHO ALWAYS
LOVED A GOOD CELEBRATION. 
FOR NOW LET'S CELEBRATE PRIDE
AND THE LIGHTING OF CITY HALL. 
WITH THIS WE HONOR THE VIBRANCY
LOVE, COMPASSION AND
UNDERSTANDING THAT LGBTQ PLUS
INDIVIDUALS BRING TO SANTA A
WITH WHOM YOU LOVE DOES NOT
MATTER.
AS PASTOR DANNY STATED IN HIS
AFFIRMATIONS EARLIER TODAY YOU
ARE LOVED.
MAYOR, I'M GOING TO HAND THIS
OFF TO COUNCIL MEMBER DEB DAVIS
AND I BELIEVE NICOLE ALTA
MORANO WITH SILICON VALLEY
PRIDE IS ON THE PHONE AS WELL.
THANK YOU.
>> THANK YOU.
COUNCILMEMBER DAVIS. 
THANK YOU.
AND THANK YOU COUNCIL MEMBER
FULLY.
AS YOU STATED, WHAT DO YOU WHAT
A YEAR TO CELEBRATE PRIDE.
PRIDE COMMUNITY HAS RISEN TO
THE CHALLENGE AND CONTINUES TO
CELEBRATE IN A VERY MEANINGFUL
WAY AS COUNCIL MEMBER FOLEY
TALKED ABOUT REACHING OUT TO TO
SUPPORTERS THROUGH DIGITAL
MEDIA.
AND I JUST ENCOURAGE ALL OF US
TO JOIN THE FESTIVITIES.
YOU CAN GO TO S.V. PRIDE DOT
COM AND THE ENTIRE DIGITAL
CELEBRATION SCHEDULE. 
SO PLEASE DO THAT.
AND I JUST WANT TO SAY THE
REASON THAT THAT I CONTINUE TO
SPONSOR AND CO-SPONSOR EVENTS
FOR PRIDE AND FOR THE LGBTQ
PLUS COMMUNITY IS THAT I HAVE
RESIDENTS AND SOME OF WHOM ARE
TEENS WHO ARE LGBTQ PLUS AND
AND IT IS VERY MEANINGFUL TO
THEM THAT WE DO THIS THEY FEEL
SEEN AND THEY FEEL LOVED AND
CARED FOR BY THEIR COMMUNITY
BECAUSE WE DO THESE THINGS AND
AND I THINK THAT'S IT'S SO
IMPORTANT FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO
DON'T HAVE TEENS MAYBE YOU CAN
REMEMBER BEING A TEEN AND HOW
HARD IT WAS TO JUST MAKE YOUR
WAY THROUGH AND FIGURE OUT WHO
YOU WERE AND WHERE YOU WERE
GOING.
>> AND AND FOR LGBTQ PLUS TEENS
THERE'S JUST AN EXTRA LAYER
OF DIFFICULTY AND BEING ABLE TO
SUPPORT THEM I THINK IT JUST
HELPS STRENGTHEN OUR COMMUNITY.
SO THANK YOU. 
THANK YOU.
COUNCIL MEMBER OF COURSE PRIDE
IS LED BY A TEAM OF VOLUNTEERS
FROM THE COMMUNITY AND WE THINK
CALL THE WHO IS THE CEO
OF PRIDE AND ASK IF SHE'D LIKE
TO SPEAK. 
>> THANK YOU.
CAN YOU GUYS HEAR ME NOW AGAIN?
PERFECT.
WELL, THANK YOU SO MUCH.
COUNCIL MEMBER FOLEY AND DAVIS
AND MAYOR SAM LICCARDO THAT YOU
KIND OF 5 AND THE REST OF THE
CITY COUNCIL.
I REALLY APPRECIATE YOU GUYS
ALWAYS TAKING THE TIME TO KIND
OF CARVE OUT THIS TIME FOR
SILICON VALLEY PRIDE. 
THIS IS OUR FORTY FIFTH
ANNIVERSARY OF THE PRIDE
CELEBRATION HERE IN SAN JOSE
AND THE LARGER PART OF SILICON
VALLEY.
SO I WOULD FIRST LIKE TO JUST
TAKE A MOMENT AND I WANTED TO
REMEMBER OUR FORMER CEO AND
BOARD PRESIDENT THADDEUS
CAMPBELL THAT IS CAMPBELL
PASSED AWAY IN NOVEMBER OF 2009
19. 
IT WAS A GREAT LOSS TO OUR
ORGANIZATION.
BUT ONE THING THAT REMAINS THE
SAME IS HIS VISION AND HIS
DETERMINATION FOR WHAT SILICON
VALLEY PRIDE IS AND IT IS TO BE
AN INCLUSIVE, DIVERSE PLACE AND
A FESTIVAL OF CELEBRATION
CELEBRATING THE LIVES THAT WE
ARE AS LGBTQ PLUS COMMUNITY TO
LOVE.
WE WANT TO LOVE AND TO CONTINUE
TO FIGHT FOR EQUALITY.
AND LIKE COUNCIL MEMBER FOLEY
POINTED OUT THAT YES, PRIDE
STARTED AS A PROTEST AS A RIOT
AGAINST POLICE BRUTALITY AND
PERSECUTION OF THE LGBTQ PLUS
COMMUNITY.
AND ALTHOUGH WE'VE COME A LONG
WAY SINCE THEN, WE HAVE NOT
COME FAR AND THAT'S THE FIGHT
FOR EQUALITY DOES NOT STOP
UNTIL EVERY SINGLE MARGINAL
SIZED GROUP AND COMMUNITY AND
PERSONS ARE AFFORDED EQUAL
RIGHTS IS THE REASON THAT
SILICON VALLEY PRIDE STANDS
MARGINALIZED COMMUNITY STANDS
WITH BLACK LIVES MATTER STANDS
WITH EVERY PERSON THAT MIGHT BE
PERSECUTED FOR WHO THEY ARE.
AND SO I THANK YOU VERY MUCH
FOR THIS TIME AND FOR HONORING
AND ASKED FOR A SILICON VALLEY
PRIDE WEEK.
WE HAVE A GREAT LINEUP IN STORE
FOR YOU FOR SATURDAY AND SUNDAY
WERE CHOCK FULL OF CONTENT SO
PLEASE CHECK US OUT.
COUNCIL MEMBER DAVIS SAID AS WE
PRIDE DOT COM WE GET ALL OUR
FULL LINEUP AND THANK YOU VERY
MUCH.
>> THANK YOU, ROBERT.
GARY, DID YOU WANT TO SPEAK ON
THIS ITEM?
>> I WOULD JUST LIKE TO POINT
OUT HAVING HAD CONVERSATIONS
WITH THE TRANSGENDERS THAT
THEY'RE NOT GETTING THE KIND
OF E TO PLUS COMMUNITY AND
ROBERT, I THINK WE'RE LOSING
YOUR AUDIO ON OUR END OR
THERE'S. 
>> CAN YOU HEAR ME OK?
>> I CAN HEAR YOU RIGHT NOW.
ROBERT YEAH, OK.
>> I'M GOING TO TRY NOT TO
MOVE.
ALL RIGHT.
SO I DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH YOU
DID HERE BUT WORKING WITH THE
TRANSGENDER COMMUNITY I FOUND
OUT THAT THE TRANSGENDER KIDS
ARE NOT BEEN GIVING THE SAME
AMOUNT OF RESPECT OR VOICE IN
THE LGBT LGBTQ PLUS COMMUNITY
AND I'M NOT SURE THERE'S
ANYTHING YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT.
I JUST WANTED TO MAKE A PUBLIC
STATEMENT ABOUT IT THAT EVEN
WITHIN THAT GROUP THERE'S NOT
ENOUGH INCLUSIVE IN IT.
AND WE NEED TO BE MUCH MORE
RESPECTFUL OF PEOPLE OF ALL
GENDER AND ALL PERSUASIONS AND
COLORS AND ECONOMIC SITUATIONS
AND SO FORTH.
AND I DO KNOW THERE WAS A VERY
LARGE COMMUNITY OF TRANSGENDERS
THAT WERE LIVING IN THE JUNGLE.
BEFORE IT CLOSED DOWN AND I'VE
LOST CONTACT WITH A NUMBER
OF THOSE.
BUT I WOULD I WOULD LIKE TO
MAKE SURE THAT THEY ARE
PROPERLY REPRESENTED AS WELL SO
THAT THAT'S ALL.
THAT'S ALL I HAD TO SAY.
THANK YOU VERY OK. 
TURNING TO COUNSEL THEN.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THAT.
COUNCIL MEMBERS BULLYING DIS. 
ITEM TWO POINT ELEVEN COUNSELOR
AND THEN I SAY YOU PULLED THIS
ITEM WHICH IS THE APPROVAL
OF MOST MUSLIM AMERICAN
APPRECIATION AWARENESS MONTH.
>> YEAH.
THANK YOU, MAYOR.
UNDER NORMAL CIRCUMSTANCE WE'D
BE PRESENTING THESE
PROCLAMATIONS AND GIVING THEM
OUT TO SOME OF THE FOLKS IN THE
COUNCIL CHAMBERS TODAY.
IT'S IN HONOR OF AMERICAN
MUSLIM APPRECIATION AND
AWARENESS MONTH.
SO I JUST WANTED TO SHARE A FEW
WORDS AND THEN OPEN UP THE
FLOOR FOR SAMINA USMAN FOR
THAT'S GONNA GIVE A FEW
COMMENTS SO ENRICHED BY THE
UNPARALLELED DIVERSITY OF HIS
RESIDENTS, THE CITY OF SAN JOSE
TAKES GREAT PRIDE IN SUPPORTING
INDIVIDUAL RELIGIOUS FREEDOMS
AND IS STRENGTHENED BY THE MANY
VARIED RELIGIOUS, POLITICAL AND
CULTURAL TRADITIONS AND
CONTRIBUTIONS OF ITS DIVERSE
POPULATION INCLUDING THOSE
OF AMERICA, INCLUDING THOSE
AMERICANS PRACTICE ISLAM.
>> FREEDOM OF RELIGION IS THE
DISTINCT CHERISHED RIGHT AND A
FUNDAMENTAL VALUE UPON WHICH
THE LAW AND ETHICS OF THE
UNITED STATES ARE BASED IN THE
BAY AREA HAVE A THRIVING
COMMUNITY OF TWO HUNDRED AND
FIFTY THOUSAND MUSLIMS AND OVER
ONE MOSQUES AND RELIGIOUS
CENTERS IN SANTA CLARA COUNTY.
>> THERE ARE OVER SIXTY SEVEN
THOUSAND MUSLIMS WHO MAKE
INNUMERABLE CONTRIBUTIONS TO
THE CULTURAL, POLITICAL AND
ECONOMIC FABRIC AND WELL-BEING
OF CALIFORNIA AND THE UNITED
STATES.
IT IS APPROPRIATE TO
ACKNOWLEDGE AND PROMOTE
AWARENESS OF THE MYRIAD
OF INVALUABLE CONTRIBUTIONS
OF AMERICAN MUSLIMS IN
CALIFORNIA AND IN SAN JOSE AND
OF COURSE ACROSS THE COUNTRY
AND EXTEND TO THEM THE RESPECT
AND CAMARADERIE EVERY AMERICAN
DESERVES.
AMERICAN MUSLIMS ARE TEACHERS, 
LAWYERS, DOCTORS, SOCIAL
WORKERS, TECH WORKERS, NURSES,
BUSINESS OWNERS AMONG NUMEROUS
OTHER VALUED PROFESSIONS AS
WELL AS PEACE BUILDERS,
ACTIVIST ENTREPRENEURS AND
OF COURSE POLITICIANS.
DURING THE CODED CRISIS THE
MUSLIM COMMUNITY HAS ANSWERED
THE CALL FOR HELP BY DONATING
FUNDS, DISTRIBUTING FOOD, BY
SEWING MASKS AND BY SERVING ON
THE FRONT LINES HEALTH CARE
WORKERS AND SERVICE WORKERS AND
THEY HAVE EDUCATED THEIR
CONGREGATIONS ABOUT SOCIAL
DISTANCING GUIDELINES AND
PRACTICES TO KEEP THE COMMUNITY
SAFE.
>> ON THAT NOTE, I WANT TO CALL
SAMINA USMAN WHO TO SAY A FEW
WORDS.
WHO IS THE GOVERNMENT
OF RELATIONS COORDINATOR FOR
THE COUNCIL ON AMERICAN ISLAMIC
RELATIONS? 
SO I MEAN IT SEEMS MY YES. 
>> AND I THANK YOU SO MUCH.
COUNCILMEMBER REED MEADOWS AND
FOR THIS WEDNESDAY CITY COUNCIL
,I APPRECIATE YOUR
APPRECIATION FROM THE AMERICAN
MUSLIM COMMUNITY AND THIS IS
ACTUALLY THE FIFTH YEAR THAT
THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA THE
CALIFORNIA STATE ASSEMBLY HAS
INTRODUCED THIS RESOLUTION TO
COMMEMORATE AUGUST AS BEING AN
AMERICAN MUSLIM APPRECIATION
AND AWARENESS MONTH. 
SOME COMMUNITY HAS BEEN PART
OF THIS COUNTRY SINCE EVEN
BEFORE ITS FOUNDING.
WE'VE HELPED BUILD THIS COUNTRY
AND WE CONTINUE TO STRIVE TO
SERVE THE COMMUNITY IN VARIOUS
WAYS, ESPECIALLY DURING THIS
TIME.
WITH THIS PANDEMIC BY PROVIDING
RESOURCES, BY PROVIDING BUT BY
BEING ON THE FRONT LINES, BY
SERVING THE COMMUNITIES. 
SO YOU KNOW, THIS HAS BEEN A
VERY, VERY DIFFERENT YEAR.
AS YOU KNOW, THE MUSLIM
COMMUNITY IS VERY ACTIVE AND
WITH OUR CONGREGATIONS FRIDAY
PRAYERS WITH OUR DAILY PRAYERS
AND BEEN HAVING TO ADJUST WITH
THIS PANDEMIC.
WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT
COMMUNITIES ARE SAFE AND WE
WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT OUR
COMMUNITIES ARE SERVED AND WILL
CONTINUE TO SERVE THE COMMUNITY
AND BE ACTIVELY INVOLVED AND
PARTICIPATING.
SO THANK YOU AGAIN FOR THIS
RECOGNITION.
>> THANK YOU.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR WORK.
I SEE SOME.
I MET MY SON. 
>> WELCOME HIM ON. 
YEAH, I HAVE TIME YET TO
MYSELF.
>> I'M SORRY.
THANK YOU.

MAYOR LICCARDO COUNCILMEMBER I

LA BERGMAN HELLO. 
THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF GOOD
EFFORTS TO RAISE MUSLIM
AWARENESS AND IT'S GOOD
PRACTICES AND TO BE HERE
MUSLIMS ARE NOT HARMED
PHYSICALLY OR POLITICALLY IN
THIS COUNTRY SINCE 9/11. 
ONE ANOTHER IMPORTANT HUMAN
RIGHTS ACTIVIST WAS KILLED IN
THE PHILIPPINES LAST WEEK IN
THE CURRENT PHILIPPINE
GOVERNMENT INTOLERANCE POLICY
IN THIS COUNTRY WE ARE
MEASURING HOW TO DELIVER A
VITRIOLIC POLICY OF HATRED
AT THE BORDERS AND TO SOLELY
BLAME THE CHINESE GOVERNMENT
FOR THE COVER .
NINETEEN PANDEMIC WHEN MANY
PEOPLE IN CHINA, VIETNAM AND
ACROSS THE WORLD HAVE BEEN
WORKING HARD TO STAVE OFF THE
VIRUS.
AND WHEN THE US MIGHT HAVE HAD
ITS OWN IMPORTANT ROLE IN CHINA
TO CHINA WITH CHINA AS AS BOTH
COMPETITOR AND ACCOMPLICE
CREATING IN U.S. LABS A
CONFUSING MAZE OF RIVAL CUBA 19
PATHOGENS AND CURES MOST ALL
OF THIS ABOVE ARE THE IDEAS
OF STATE SPONSORED VIOLENCE,
EXTREMISM AND TERRORISM TO WORK
OUT OUR LONG TERM SOCIAL
PLANNING SOCIETAL PLANNING
IDEAS AND GOALS.
>> THE WORK OF MUSLIM CIVIL
RIGHTS AND CIVIL PROTECTIONS IN
THE EARLY 2000S IN THIS COUNTRY
ARE EXAMPLES OF DECENT MINDED
POSITIVE SUSTAINABILITY.
I HOPE OUR FIRST STEPS OUT
OF THIS COVID 19 SITUATION IS
THAT WE WORK TO MAKE SURE WE
DON'T HAVE TO HARM OR KILL EACH
OTHER TO ARRIVE AT GOOD LEGAL
EXAMPLES PRACTICES FOR THE
SUSTAINABLE FUTURE LOCAL
COMMUNITIES, NATIONS, OUR
NATION STATES AND THIS PLANET.
TO CONCLUDE AND THAT SIMPLE
CONTINUAL NEGOTIATION AND
DIALOG CAN ALWAYS SOLVE OUR
PROBLEMS.
THANK YOU. 
THANK YOU.
OK.

AWARENESS MONTH AND WE'RE HAPPY
TO SEE THAT THAT.
AS YOU KNOW WE ARE PART OF THE
COMMUNITY AND WE YOU HAVE
HELPED US A LOT IN DIFFERENT
AREAS REGARDING OUR MASSAGES.
YOU KNOW, PLACE OF WORSHIP AND
IN THE OTHER ISSUES THAT WE
HAVE.
AND BY THE WAY, YOU KNOW,
CURRENTLY I AM ALSO SERVING AS
IN THE COUNTY SANTA CLARA AS
THE HUMAN RIGHTS IN THE HUMAN
RIGHTS COMMISSION AND
PREVIOUSLY I HAVE ALSO SERVED
AS IN THE CITY ALSO IN THE
CITY.
YOU CAN BE A COMMITTEE A
COMMITTEE A WHILE BACK AND IT'S
NICE TO SEE THAT EVERYBODY
RECOGNIZES THE CITY COUNCIL,
THE PRISONERS, THE MUSLIMS AND
WHAT THEY HAVE DONE IN THIS
COURT ENVIRONMENT.
IT HAS BECOME VERY DIFFICULT
BECAUSE A LOT OF PEOPLE YOU
KNOW, WE CONGREGATE IN THE
MOSQUE FOR THE FRIDAY PRAYERS
AND THE DAILY PRAYERS ARE MADE
VERY, VERY DIFFICULT.
SO THEY'RE PRAYING IN THE
PARKING LOT WE HAD THAT HAD OUR
EITHER CELEBRATION WHICH WAS
DONE IN A LITTLE WHILE BACK AND
WE HAD TO DO THE PRAYER IN THE
IN THE PARKING LOT.
BUT IN ORDER WE DID THAT YOU
KNOW, WE WANTED TO CELEBRATE
ONE OF THE MAJOR HOLIDAYS WHICH
IS YOU KNOW, CELEBRATE BY
ABRAHAM WHEN CELEBRATED.
SO YOU KNOW, FOR THE MUSLIMS WE
HAVE.
SO WE DID ALL THAT AND CEO
SATURDAY WAS FORTHCOMING IN A
LOT OF THINGS.
AND I KNOW THERE'S A LOT
OF THINGS ON THE TABLE THAT ARE
OUT THERE RIGHT NOW.
IT'S A DIFFICULT TIME FOR ALL. 
SO WE ARE TRYING TO HELP THE
COMMUNITY AS WE CAN BY SERVING
THE POOR WHO ARE IN NEED
AT THIS TIME.
AND SO ON.
AND SO WHAT WE'D LIKE TO DO IS
TO HAVE THE CITY INVOLVE US
MORE IF THERE'S ANY OTHER ITEMS
THAT NEED TO BE DONE AND WE CAN
ALSO BE OFF IN THIS TIME
OF NEED BE ABLE TO HELP THE
COMMUNITY AT LARGE.
SO THANK YOU AGAIN FOR GIVING
US OPPORTUNITY AND CELEBRATING
THE MUSLIM A PRECISION MONTH
WITH US AGAIN THIS YEAR.
THANK YOU.
>> THANK YOU, SEAN AND THANK
YOU FOR ALL THE FBI TO SUPPORT
OUR COMMUNITY.
OK.
WE'RE NOW RETURNED TO THE
WOMEN'S EQUALITY DAY WOMEN'S
SUFFRAGE CENTENNIAL
ANNIVERSARY.
CAST MEMBER R.A. THANK YOU,
MAYOR.
>> LET ME BEGIN I JUST THANK
YOU.
DAVIS AND FOLEY FOR SPONSORING
THE LGBTQ PRIDE WEEKEND AND
SPONSORING CITY HALL LIGHTING
AS WELL AS COUNCIL MEMBER
HUMANENESS FOR YOUR RECOGNITION
OF MUSLIM AMERICAN APPRECIATION
.
SO THANK YOU FOR MAKING SURE
THAT OUR COMMUNITIES CONTINUED
TO BE HIGHLIGHTED EVERY MONTH
DESPITE NOT BEING ABLE TO
CONGREGATE AND CELEBRATE
TOGETHER.
IN LIEU WE'RE DOING THE BEST
THAT WE CAN OVER ZONE. 
SO I WANTED ALSO TO BRING IN
THE WOMEN'S EQUALITY AND
WOMEN'S SUFFRAGE CENTENNIAL
ANNIVERSARY AND THIS IS THIS
STRICTLY AT COUNCIL DISTRICT 8
SPONSORED A SPECIAL EVENT BUT
BECAUSE WE HAVE THE HONOR
OF HAVING FIVE WOMEN ON COUNCIL
I WANTED TO MAKE SURE WE
CELEBRATE ALL TOGETHER AND
WANTED TO TAKE A MOMENT TO
RECOGNIZE THAT TODAY AND EVERY
DAY WE CELEBRATE WOMEN'S
ACHIEVEMENTS AND THE ONGOING
FIGHT FOR GENDER EQUALITY. 
>> I KNOW IT DOESN'T I DON'T
HAVE TO PULL THIS FROM AN ITEM
.
>> WE DO THIS EVERY DAY.
I KNOW YOU ALL DO THIS TOGETHER
WITH ME. 
LAST WEEK MARKED THE WOMEN'S
SUFFRAGE CENTENNIAL ANNIVERSARY
WHICH COMMEMORATED THE
RATIFICATION OF THE 19TH
AMENDMENT GIVING WOMEN THE
CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT TO VOTE.
>> YOU CAN HEAR THE CROWD
SCREAMING IN THE BACKGROUND
TOMORROW, AUGUST 26 OFFICIALLY
MARKS WOMEN'S EQUALITY DAY.
AND SO WHILE WE HONOR THE
TRAILBLAZING WOMEN WHO FOUGHT
TO GET US TO THIS POINT, WE
ALSO RECOGNIZE OUR OBLIGATION
TO CONTINUE THE WORK ON BEHALF
ALL WOMEN.
SO THE 19TH AMENDMENT IF YOU
ALL REMEMBER WAS A COMBINATION
OF THE MOVEMENT THAT GOES BACK
TO SENECA FALLS CONVENTION IN
1848, THE WORLD'S FIRST WOMEN'S
RIGHTS CONVENTION.
IN THE YEARS THAT FOLLOWED,
WOMEN WERE YOU KNOW, WOMEN
MARCHED.
THEY LOBBIED. 
THEY PROTESTED.
>> THEY CAMPAIGNED IN PURSUIT
OF THAT GOAL.
AND MANY WERE ARRESTED, 
IMPRISONED FOR JUST DEMANDING
THE RIGHT TO VOTE.
TODAY ONE HUNDRED YEARS AFTER
THOSE EFFORTS, MORE THAN SIXTY
EIGHT MILLION WOMEN EXERCISE
THEIR RIGHT TO VOTE IN
ELECTIONS.
SOME SAY WE CARRY SOME
ELECTIONS AND WE CONTINUE TO
VOTE AT A HIGHER RATE THAN MEN.
TODAY MORE WOMEN ARE SERVING IN
ELECTED OFFICE IN CONGRESS AND
LOCAL POLITICS AS YOU CAN SEE
HERE BY MY COLLEAGUES THAN ANY
TIME IN OUR HISTORY.
WE CURRENTLY HAVE FIVE FEMALE
COUNCIL MEMBERS WHO BRING IN
THEIR WONDERFUL PERSPECTIVE
INTO OUR LOCAL POLICIES.
>> SO FINALLY WOMEN'S QUALITY
DAY IS REALLY AN OPPORTUNITY
FOR ALL OF US TO RENEW OUR
COMMITMENT.
AND I KNOW THAT YOU'LL DO THAT
TODAY BY CELEBRATING THE
PROGRESS THAT WE'VE MADE
RECOGNIZING THAT PROGRESS, 
CONTINUING TO FIGHT FOR GENDER
EQUALITY FOR ALL WOMEN HERE IN
TENNESSEE AND ACROSS AMERICA.
AND SO I'D LIKE FOR YOU TO
RECOMMIT TO GENDER EQUALITY BY
CELEBRATING SOME OF THE WOMEN
IN YOUR LIVES.
SOME OF THE WOMEN ON COUNCIL, 
SOME OF THE WOMEN THAT YOU
INTERACT WITH ON A DAILY BASIS
.
IT IS JUST REALLY IMPORTANT TO
MAKE SURE THAT.
THANK YOU FOR APPLAUSE. 
COUNCIL MEMBER HERMAN AS I
HEARD IT LOUD AND CLEAR IT IS
IMPORTANT TO DO THAT EVERY DAY,
NOT JUST TODAY.
>> REALLY IT IS A COMMITMENT
AND AN EFFORT THAT WE HAVE TO
MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE COGNATES
AND OF AS YOU ALL KNOW WOMEN
JOIN THE WORKFORCE MAYBE ABOUT
30 40 YEARS AGO FULL FORCE NOT
AS HOMEMAKERS BECAUSE WE'RE
WORKING REALLY HARD AT HOME BUT
IN THE ACTUAL PROFESSIONAL
FIELD.
>> AND SO THERE'S STILL A LOT
OF WORK TO BE DONE ON A
PROFESSIONAL LEVEL.
WE STILL WORK HARD TO BE MAKE
SURE OUR VOICES ARE HEARD AND
THAT OUR IDEAS ARE RESPECTED
AND RECOGNIZED.
SO I LIKE TO GIVE MY FEMALE
COUNCIL COLLEAGUES AN
OPPORTUNITY TO SHARE A FEW
WORDS DURING PUBLIC COMMENT.
AND HAPPY WONDERS WILL WOMEN'S
EQUALITY DAY EVERYONE CASARES
ANY CUSTOMER WANTS TO JUMP AND
CAN'T OR GO TO PUBLIC COMMENT.
>> OK.
COUNCILMEMBER DAVIS, THANK YOU.
>> I WANT TO THANK ALL THE
WOMEN WHO CAME BEFORE US WHO
TOOK TO THE STREETS AND
DEMANDED THEIR RIGHT TO VOTE
UNTIL THEY WERE FINALLY HEARD
IN IN 1920 AND AND I DO WANT TO
ACKNOWLEDGE THE FIGHT FOR EQUAL
RIGHTS AT THE BALLOT HAS
FINISHED AND WAS A PIECEMEAL
STRUGGLE.
IT WAS A DOGGED FIGHT FOR ALL
WOMEN TO HAVE THE RIGHT TO VOTE
EVERYWHERE IN THE COUNTRY. 
AS MANY OF YOU MAY MAY BE
AWARE, THE AMENDMENT ONLY
DECLARED THAT STATES COULD NOT
DISCRIMINATE IN VOTING BASED ON
SEX.
IT DID NOT SAY GAVE THE RIGHT
TO ALL WOMEN SO WOMEN OF COLOR
WERE BARRED FROM THE POLLS.
UNFORTUNATELY IN MANY AREAS
OF THE UNITED STATES AND NATIVE
AND ASIAN WOMEN WERE ACTUALLY
EVEN MOSTLY EXCLUDED FROM
CITIZENSHIP ALTOGETHER. 
IN TOTAL THE 19 60S AS YOU AS
YOU MAY KNOW EVERY EVERY WOMAN
GOT THE RIGHT TO VOTE.
>> MORE THAN EIGHT MILLION
WOMEN ACROSS THE UNITED STATES
DID VOTE IN ELECTIONS FOR THE
FIRST TIME IN NOVEMBER.
>> ON NOVEMBER 2ND OF 1920 AND
FOR 100 YEARS NOW WOMEN'S
VOICES HAVE BEEN HEARD AT THE
BALLOT AND AS COUNCIL MEMBER
ARENAS STATED, NOW IS THE TIME
FOR MORE REPRESENTATION AS
ELECTED OFFICIALS.
I ENCOURAGE YOU TO CHECK OUT
THE NATIONAL ARCHIVES EXHIBIT
ONLINE.
>> IT'S CALLED RIGHTFULLY HERS
AMERICAN WOMEN AND THE VOTE.
AND THAT'S AT MUSEUM ARCHIVES
DOT GOV SLASH RIGHTFULLY HERS.
YOU CAN LOOK UP. 
>> SO YEAH, I'M EXCITED.
I EXCITED THAT WE'RE
CELEBRATING THE ONE HUNDRED
YEARS ANNIVERSARY AT THE SAME
TIME THAT WE HAVE AN EQUAL
NUMBER OF MEMBERS FEMALE
MEMBERS ON THE COUNCIL.
MAYOR EXCLUDED. 
>> THANK YOU.
CAST HER VOTE PORTABLE THAT
WE'VE ONLY HAD THE VOTE FOR A
HUNDRED YEARS.
BUT WHAT POWERFUL BLOCK OF VOTE
THAT TRULY IS.
THANK YOU COUNCIL MEMBER ARENAS
FOR INVITING US TO SPEAK ON
THIS IMPORTANT MATTER AN
ANNIVERSARY.
HUNDRED YEARS FOR WOMEN CERTAIN
FOR WHITE WOMEN.
LET'S BE FRANK WHITE WOMEN TO
HAVE THE RIGHT TO VOTE.
IT DIDN'T COME UNTIL THE 60S
WHERE ALL WOMEN HAVE THE RIGHT
TO VOTE.
AND SO OUR WORK DID NOT STOP
THEIR WORK DID NOT STOP. 
WE MUST SUPPORT THOSE WHO
FOUGHT SO HARD TO GAIN WOMEN'S
RIGHT TO VOTE.
AND EVENTUALLY ALL WOMEN'S
RIGHT TO VOTE.
WE MUST CELEBRATE WOMEN TODAY. 
WOMEN OF THE PAST.
AND WOMEN OF THE FUTURE.
AND AS A RECOMMITMENT TO GENDER
EQUALITY I JUST WANT TO SHOUT
OUT TO TWO OF THE STRONGEST
WOMEN I KNOW WHICH IS MY MOTHER
WHO IS SOMEONE WHO INSPIRED ME
TO LEAD AND BE THE WOMAN THAT I
AM TODAY AND MY DAUGHTER WHO
ALWAYS ENCOURAGES ME AND
INSPIRES ME.
THEY ARE BOTH FIERCE, POWERFUL,
STRONG WOMEN AND I KNOW ALL MY
COUNSEL FEMALE COLLEAGUES ARE
EQUALLY STRONG, FIERCE AND
POWERFUL WOMEN.
THANK YOU. 
THANK YOU SO MUCH, MARTIN. 
THANK YOU, MAYOR AND THANK YOU
TO COUNCIL MEMBER OF HAMAS FOR
DOING THIS TODAY.
I'M VERY HONORED TO BE
INCLUDED.
AND AS WE SIT HERE FORMER
FEMINIST CAPITAL OF THE WORLD,
I THINK IT'S A MOMENTOUS
OCCASION.
AND HALF OF THE CITY COUNCIL
WILL EXCLUDE THE MAYOR ON THIS
ONE ARE WOMEN.
>> SO THAT'S SOMETHING THAT
SHOULD BE CELEBRATED.
AND SO AS WE REFLECT UPON THE
CENTENNIAL OF THE 19TH
AMENDMENT, I THINK IT'S
IMPORTANT THAT WE VIEW THIS AS
A CALL TO ACTION. 
THE VICTORY FOR WOMEN'S
SUFFRAGE WAS A PROFOUND AND
IMPORTANT VICTORY AND A MULTI
GENERATIONAL EFFORT BUT IT WAS
REALLY A BEGINNING AND NOT AN
END TO SUFFRAGISTS WERE
COURAGEOUS AND RELENTLESS.
>> AND MANY SPENT THEIR ENTIRE
LIVES FIGHTING FOR A CAUSE THAT
THEY WOULD NOT LIVE TO SEE COME
TO FRUITION.
>> AND FOR WOMEN OF COLOR, THE
19TH AMENDMENT DID LITTLE IN A
WORLD OF POLL TAXES AND
LITERALLY LITERACY TESTS THAT
DENIED THEM THE VOTE FOR AN
ADDITIONAL HALF A CENTURY.
>> AND TODAY THE STRUGGLE FOR
DISENFRANCHISEMENT CONTINUES.
THE STRUGGLE FOR THE VOICELESS
TO HAVE THEIR VOICES HEARD.
AND AS WE FACE A FEDERAL
ADMINISTERED NATION INTENT ON
SILENCING OUR VOICES AT THE
BALLOT BOX AND TURNING BACK THE
CLOCK ON VOTING RIGHTS HERE IN
THE U.S. NOW MORE THAN EVER IS
TO MAKE SURE THAT WE MAKE OUR
VOICES HEARD AND WE VOTE.
>> THANK YOU.
>> THANK YOU. 
BECAUSE WE'RE ACROSS GO.
>> THANK YOU.
AND I WANT I THINK COUNCIL
MEMBER OUT IN US.
THIS IS VERY SPECIAL FOR
ALLOWING US TO SPEAK ON THIS.
AND I ALSO WANT TO REMEMBER MY
MOTHER.
SHE BECAME A NATURALIZED
CITIZEN WHEN I WAS ONLY 11
YEARS OLD.
AND SHE VOTED EVERY SINGLE TIME
UP UNTIL HER DEATH.
THIS WAS VERY IMPORTANT TO HER.
AND SO I ON THIS DAY I ALSO
WANT TO REMEMBER HER. 
BUT WHETHER IT'S THROUGH THE
WOMEN'S SUFFRAGE MOVEMENT OR
THE CIVIL RIGHTS MOVEMENT,
WOMEN OF ALL SHAPES, COLORS AND
BACKGROUNDS CONTINUE TO
DEMONSTRATE WHAT IT TAKES IN
ORDER TO SEEK JUSTICE FOR A
MINORITY THAT MAKE UP THE
MAJORITY.
IT HAS BOTH DISHEARTEN ME AND
IT HAS EMBOLDENED ME THAT IN
THIS DAY AND AGE WOMEN OF ALL
BACKGROUNDS CONTINUE TO BE
DISCRIMINATE BASED ON GENDER
UNBELIEVABLE GENDER EQUALITY IS
ABSOLUTELY CRITICAL FOR OUR
GROWING COMMUNITIES AS WE
ADDRESS GENDER EQUALITY.
IT'S INDISPUTABLE THE POSITIVE
IMPACTS THAT WOMEN MAKE AND
THAT INFORM POLICY.
AND WE KNOW THAT WHEN WE INFORM
POLICY WOMEN, FAMILIES, SENIORS
BECOME A PRIORITY AND WE HAVE
POSITIVE IMPACTS ON SOCIETY.
>> AS KOLBERT RAVISH THIS
COMMUNITIES ESPECIALLY
COMMUNITIES OF COLOR WOMEN WILL
LEAD THE WAY TO ECONOMIC
RECOVERY MAKING SURE THAT WOMEN
AND THEIR CHILDREN ARE
PRIORITIZED AND WON'T BE
FORGOTTEN IN THE ABYSS
OF POVERTY.
WOMEN OF COLOR BRING
PROGRESSIVE IDEAS, POLICIES AND
ROADMAPS FOR AN EQUITABLE
SOCIETY.
WOMEN OF COLOR MUST HAVE A SEAT
AT THE TABLE.
ALWAYS THE IMBALANCE, POWER AND
REPRESENTATION BETWEEN MEN AND
WOMEN IS SO NORMALIZED AND
SYSTEMIC THAT IT HAS HINDERED
THE LIVES OF MANY AND IT IS UP
TO US TO SHOW OUR COMMUNITIES
AND BETTER YET THE WORLD THAT
THROUGH ACTIVISM, 
DETERMINATION, UNITY, COURAGE
AND CHANGE IT IS POSSIBLE.
>> WE CELEBRATE ALL THE WOMEN
THAT CAME BEFORE US WHO MARCHED
,WHO FOUGHT AND WHO SACRIFICED
EVERYTHING TO GAIN THE RIGHT TO
VOTE.
OVER 100 YEARS AGO WE MUST ALSO
RECOGNIZE THE RIGHT TO VOTE WAS
NOT GRANTED TO ALL WOMEN LIKE
ALL OF YOU HAVE JUST MENTIONED.
WOMEN OF COLOR WERE
UNFORTUNATELY EXCLUDED
OPPRESSION AT ITS WORST.
WHY SUFFRAGISTS MAY HAVE
CHAMPIONED EQUALITY FOR WOMEN
BUT IN PRACTICE THE OFTEN MEN
WOMEN LIKE THEMSELVES THE
LEADERSHIP THAT HAS BEEN
CELEBRATING THROUGHOUT OUR
HISTORY OF WOMEN'S EQUALITY IS
ONLY SMALL SNIPPET OF WHAT IS
TO COME.
THERE'S STILL MUCH WORK TO BE
DONE.
ESPECIALLY FOR WOMEN OF COLOR.
LET'S CONTINUE THE PROGRESS. 
LET'S CONTINUE THE PROGRESS
TOGETHER.
TOGETHER WE CAN SHOW THE WORLD
WHAT WE'RE MADE OF .
AND TOGETHER WE CAN LEAD THE
WAY.
THANK YOU SO MUCH.
THANK YOU.
COUNCILMEMBER MARTINEZ. 
>> AND MAYOR, MAY I INTERRUPT
BECAUSE I ALSO WANTED I DIDN'T
DO THIS EARLIER BUT I ALSO WANT
TO JUST A PUBLICLY ACKNOWLEDGE
MY MOTHER FOR RAISING SIX VERY
STRONG WOMEN AS WELL AS THE
WOMEN WHO SERVE ALONG WITH ME
AND WHO SERVE OUR CITY OF SAN
JOSE.
I SEE NORA AND RACHEL AND MANY
OTHERS WHO I DON'T GET TO SEE
ON THE SCREEN EVERY DAY BUT I
KNOW OUR FIGHTING REALLY HARD.
>> JULIA, JENNIFER, JUST
EVERYBODY WHO IS SERVING OUR
CITY OF SAN JOSE DOES HAVE AN
OPPORTUNITY MAYBE TO CONTRIBUTE
AND PUBLIC COMMENT. 
BUT I RECOGNIZE AND I THANK YOU
FOR YOUR EFFORTS.
AND HERE IS THE AN ON HERE
THERE IS A STADIUM FULL OF JUST
CHEER AND APPLAUSE.
>> THANK YOU. 
>> THANK YOU, MAYOR.
REAL WORK ON THE AUDIO BUT
THANK YOU, CATHERINE. 
>> YEAH.
THE INTENTION WAS CLEARLY, 
CLEARLY RECEIVED.
THANK YOU.
I WANT TO THANK ALL MY
COLLEAGUES FOR SPEAKING. 
I ALSO WANT TO THANK MY MOM
GREW UP.
>> LAURA SERVICES SOMEONE WHO
UNDERSTOOD VERY CLEARLY THAT
THE MEANING OF THE VOTE AND SHE
URGED ALL OF US TO BE VERY
ACTIVE AND INVOLVED AND TO
VOTE.
AND SHE SHE WAS SHE WAS A
PASSIONATE BELIEVER IN
DEMOCRACY EVEN THOUGH THERE
WERE CERTAINLY MISTAKEN
CIRCUMSTANCES IN WHICH SHE GREW
UP.
>> THERE ARE PLENTY AROUND HER
WHO WHO ARE SURE TO BELIEVE
THAT VOTE DIDN'T MATTER AND SHE
BELIEVED OTHERWISE.
SO I'M GRATEFUL TO HER. 
I WANTED TO CALL NOW MEMBERS
OF THE COMMUNITY.
BEEKMAN HI.
>> I WANTED TO THANK. 
THANK YOURSELVES FOR HAVING
THIS ITEM TODAY.
THIS WAS VERY MOVING TO HEAR
PEOPLE TALK ABOUT THIS SUBJECT.
>> I MADE ME THINK OF THE WORK
OF THE CURRENT HUMAN SERVICES
COMMISSION. 
YOU KNOW, THEY'VE BEEN DOING
SOME PRETTY GOOD WORK OVER THE
PAST SEVERAL YEARS NOW.
>> AND YOU KNOW, THEY'VE BEEN
IN ADDRESSING WOMEN'S RIGHTS
ISSUES A LOT AND THAT HAS BEEN
COVERING A LOT OF TERRITORY
INCLUDING EQUITY TRANSGENDER
ISSUES ACTUALLY LGBT. 
>> Q ISSUES AND YOU KNOW JUST
JUST A BUNCH OF THINGS.
>> AND IT'S BEEN A REALLY GOOD
EFFORT BY THEM AND I HOPE.
>> I'D LIKE TO RECOGNIZE THEIR
WORK AT THIS TIME AND INVITE
PEOPLE TO THEIR MEETINGS TO
JUST ENJOY AND LEARN. 
>> AND YOU KNOW THE OTHER
IMPORTANT LESSON I TOOK FROM
THIS WAS THE WORDS FROM COUNCIL
PERSON CARRASCO THAT YOU KNOW,
I HOPE YOU KNOW WOMEN ISSUES.
AND WOMEN OF COLOR WORKING ON
ISSUES AND THEIR SEAT AT THE
TABLE CAN REALLY I'M INTERESTED
IN THE IDEAS OF PRIORITIZED AND
HOW THEY CAN HELP.
>> THEY JUST THERE'S A NATURAL
GIVEN TAKE TO HOW TO HELP THE
IDEAS OF PRIORITIZATION AND
THOSE QUESTIONS REALLY NEED TO
BE ASKED IN SAY VOTING RIGHTS
ISSUES OF THEMSELVES AT THIS
TIME.
AND THERE'S A BIG STALEMATE
BETWEEN DEMOCRATS AND
REPUBLICANS AND I'M JUST HOPING
THAT REPUBLICANS CAN JUST LEARN
TO ACCEPT PRIORITIES AND WHAT
IS IMPORTANT IN THIS COUNTRY
AT THIS TIME AND THE IDEALS AND
IDEAS THAT ARE IMPORTANT AND WE
CAN.
>> I THINK THAT'S AN IMPORTANT
BEGINNING HOW TO ASK THEM TO BE
OPEN TO TO HOW THE FUTURE
OF OUR VOTING PROCESS NEEDS TO
BE DETERMINED.
>> THANK YOU. 
THANK YOU.
>> THE PERSON WITH THE PHONE
NUMBER ENDING 1 3 6 7.
WELCOME. 
>> THIS IS LILLIAN MY CITY
COUNCIL REPRESENTATIVE DAVIS
REPRESENTS DISTRICT 6 AND I
APPRECIATE ALL HER WORK.
I KNOW THAT SHE IS ALSO THE
FIRST AUSTRALIAN I KNOW THAT
SHE IS ALSO FOLLOWING IN THE
FOOTSTEPS OF MANY OF THE WOMEN
OF COLOR ON THAT CITY COUNCIL
LISTENING VERY INTENTLY.
I CAN TELL YOU PERSONALLY THAT
THE INTERIM CHIEF CURRENTLY AND
THE PASSING OF RICK DOYLE THOSE
POSITIONS SHOULD BE FILLED BY
WOMEN OF COLOR.
I CERTAINLY HOPE THAT YOU DON'T
HAVE A PRE ELECTION WHAT YOU
CALL ASSUMING THAT THE PUBLIC
WILL STAND BY AND SAY OKAY,
ANOTHER MALE IN THESE
POSITIONS.
WE ARE LOOKING FOR WOMEN TO
IMPACT US IN POSITIONS OF POWER
AND THIS IS WHERE OUR FOCUS IS.
MY MOTHER'S GOING TO BE 93.
SHE'S VOTED IN EVERY ELECTION
THAT I CAN REMEMBER.
SHE'S A STRONG WOMAN BUT SHE
LIVED THROUGH WORLD WAR TWO AND
SHE SUFFERED QUITE A BIT.
I FEEL LIKE I'M STILL SUFFERING
AND I'M A WOMAN OF 64 AT 64
YEARS OF AGE WHO FEELS THAT
THERE JUST HASN'T BEEN ENOUGH
DONE FOR WOMEN IN POLITICS.
SO I'M FOLLOWING THE LEAD
OF CAMILLE HARRIS RIGHT NOW AND
I'M HOPING THAT THE CITY
COUNCIL REALLY LOOKS AT THEIR
AGENDA AND NOMINATES WOMEN IN
POSITIONS OF POWER.
THANKS. 
>> WILSON AND TESSIE, CAN YOU
HEAR ME?
>> YES, I KNOW SOME OF YOU.
MY NAME IS IDA CROSBY AND I

CENTURY A.K.A. CUBAN COSTA OH

DISCRIMINATED THAN I AM BEING
VENEZUELAN FOR SPEAKING ENGLISH

NOT FOR BEING LDS FOR HAVING A
SON WITHOUT SOME AND ALL THAT.
SINCE 2011 VENEZUELANS HAVE
BEEN BRINGING AWARENESS ABOUT

UNITED STATES WITH MARK MADDOX.
OH YEAH.
MENIAL AND BOREDOM WHICH ARE

LICCARDO I'M GOING BACK TO
CARRASCO.
YES. 
THANK YOU.
>> THANK YOU.
WE'RE GOING TO TO THE TWO ITEMS
RELATED TO THE JOINT SITTING
COUNCIL FINANCING AUTHORITY
AGENDA SHOW NOR DO I NEED TO
CALL THE ORDER THE FINANCING
AUTHORITY. 
>> YES YOU DO.
YOU WILL CALL THE AS A
FINANCING AUTHORITY TO ORDER A
JOINTLY WHICH SENDS A CITY
COUNCIL SINCE WE'RE ONE AND THE
SAME.
>> FIRST UP IS THE CITY CENTERS
A FINANCING AUTHORITY TAXABLE
REVENUE BONDS SERIES 20 20 A.
I DON'T BELIEVE. 
IS A THERE'S A PRESENTATION
THAT SAYS THAT JULIA COOPER, 
DIRECTOR OF FINANCE.
>> AND SO WHAT WE'RE DOING
TODAY IS BECAUSE WE HAVE TO
LEASE REVENUE FINANCINGS THAT
YOU'RE APPROVING TODAY. 
I'M GOING TO START OFF WITH AN
OVERVIEW THAT COVERS LEASE
FINANCINGS IN GENERAL INCLUDING
YOUR RESPONSIBILITY IN TERMS
OF APPROVING THE ISSUANCE
OF BONDS.
AND THEN WE'LL TAKE ITEM ONE
WHICH IS THE CITY HALL
REFUNDING AND THEN YOU CAN
DELIBERATE AND VOTE AND THEN
WE'LL TAKE ITEM 2 WHICH IS THE
ICE CENTER PROJECT.
SO WITH THAT I'M JOINED TODAY
ALSO WITH NIKOLAI SPURLOCK.
HE'S OUR NEW DEPUTY DIRECTOR. 
I'M IN THE FINANCE DEPARTMENT
OVER DEBT AND TREASURY
MANAGEMENT AND HE'S ACTUALLY
BEING THIS AND ALSO HELPING
WITH THE SLIDES TODAY. 
I'M ALSO AVAILABLE IF YOU HAVE
ANY QUESTIONS OR
REPRESENTATIVES JONES HALL BOND
COUNSEL ON BOTH TRANSACTIONS
THEY HAVE REVIEWED OUR
PRESENTATION AND THIS IS ALSO
PART OF ABBREVIATED A RATHER
LENGTHY TRAINING WE'VE DONE
WITH THE COUNCIL IN THE PAST.
SO THE NEXT SLIDE JUST GIVES
THAT GRAPHIC ILLUSTRATION
OF HOW A LEASE REVENUE CONTRACT
STRUCTURE WORKS.
YOU START IN THE LOWER RIGHT
HAND SIDE OF THOSE SLIDES YOU
HAVE BOND INVESTORS.
WE SELL THE BONDS AND WE GET
BOND PROCEEDS AND THOSE BOND
PROCEEDS ARE ESSENTIALLY PASSED
THROUGH TO THE CITY AS A
FINANCING AUTHORITY AND GIVES
AN UPFRONT PAYMENT OF LEASES TO
THE CITY OF SANTO Zé AND THEN
WE MAKE SEMIANNUAL LEASE
PAYMENTS BACK TO THE AUTHORITY
WHICH THEN IN TURN MAKES THOSE
PAYMENTS THE BONDHOLDERS WITH
THOSE BOND PROCEEDS.
WE THEN IN THE CASE OF CITY
HALL WILL BE REFUNDING PRIOR
DEBT IN THE CASE OF THE ICE
CENTER WE'LL BE FUNDING THE
PROJECT EXPANSION THE ICE
CENTER AND ALSO REFUNDING SOME
DEBT ASSOCIATED WITH THE ICE
CENTER AND FUNDING SOME OTHER
INTEREST PAYMENTS DURING THE
CONSTRUCTION PERIOD. 
IN TERMS OF THE CITY IN TERMS
OF MAKING OUR RENT PAYMENTS OR
DEBT SERVICE PAYMENTS ON THE
CITY HALL SIDE WE HAVE A
PROCESS THAT WE ALLOCATE THAT
SERVICE TO CITY HALL PRIMARILY
THROUGH THE GENERAL FUND THAT
OTHER SPECIAL FUNDS ASSOCIATED
WITH WHO'S OCCUPYING CITY HALL
IN THE CASE THE ICE CENTER AND
WE'LL GO INTO MORE DETAIL ON
THAT WHEN WE GET TO ITEM NUMBER
TWO.
SO WE HAVE WE'LL HAVE AN
AGREEMENT IN PLACE WITH THE
SHARKS.
WELL, THEY WILL PAY US RENT ON
THE ICE CENTER WHICH WILL BE
SUFFICIENT TO COVER OUR DEBT
SERVICE ON THE BONDS. 
SO ON THE NEXT SLIDE AS A
REMINDER THE POLICY
REQUIREMENTS FOR LEASE REVENUE
BONDS ACCORDING TO THE
MUNICIPAL CODE AND THE COUNCIL
ADOPTED DEBT MANAGEMENT POLICY
WE'RE REQUIRED TO DO A
SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF DUE
DILIGENCE TO ENSURE THAT WE
HAVE MONEY AVAILABLE TO PAY FOR
DEBT SERVICE ON THE BONDS. 
SO IN THE CASE OF THE CITY HALL
IT'S A REFUNDING WE'LL BE
SAVING MONEY THOSE BUT IT'S
ALREADY IN THE CITY'S BUDGET
WITH RESPECT TO MAKING THAT
SERVICE WITH RESPECT TO THE ICE
CENTER.
WE DID A FEASIBILITY STUDY
WHICH WAS PRESENTED TO THE CITY
COUNCIL BACK IN DECEMBER AND HE
DIRECTED US TO MOVE FORWARD TO
BRING FORWARD THE BOND
FINANCING ALSO UNDER THE POLICY
AND THE MUNI CODE REQUIRES TWO
THIRDS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
EIGHT VOTES IN ORDER TO APPROVE
THE FINANCING. 
SO WE COME TO THE VOTES ON
ITEMS WANTING TO BLOCK TO
ENSURE WE HAVE TWO THIRDS
OF THE COUNCIL APPROVING ON THE
NEXT SLIDE. 
I'M IN TERMS OF THE IMPORTANCE
OF DISCLOSURE AND SPEAKING TO
THE MARK.
MARKET IN YOUR AGENDA PACKET
POSTED YOU HAD TWO OFFICIAL
STATEMENTS ONE FOR THE CITY
HALL REFUNDING AND ONE FOR THE
ICE CENTER AND AS ISSUERS
OF MUNICIPAL SECURITIES THE
CITY HAS AN OBLIGATION TO
ENSURE THAT THE INFORMATION
THAT'S INPUT INCLUDED IN THOSE
DOCUMENTS IS ACCURATE AND
COMPLETE WITH ALL MATERIAL
RESPECTS AND ENSURING THAT THAT
HAPPENS.
IS IT GUARANTEES THE INVESTORS
HAVE ABILITY TO UNDERSTAND
EVALUATE THE FINANCIAL HEALTH
OF OUR CITY IN WHICH THEY COULD
MAKE A DECISION TO INVEST IN
THE BONDS WE'RE GOVERNED BY
SECURITIES LAW. 
>> SO SECTION 17 OF THE
SECURITIES ACT OF 1930 3
PROHIBITS FRAUD IN THE OFFERED
SALE OF ANY SECURITIES WHICH
INCLUDES MUNICIPAL BONDS AND
THEN 10 B 5 OF THE ACT IN 1934
PROHIBITS FRAUD IN THE PURCHASE
OR SALE OF SECURITIES WHICH
ALSO INCLUDES MUNICIPAL BONDS
AND THEN FCC RULE 10 B 5
PROHIBITS MAKING ANY UNTRUE
STATEMENT OF A MATERIAL FACT OR
OMITTING TO STATE A MATTER
OF FACT THE OFFER THE SALE
OF SECURITIES.
SO WHEN WE LOOK AT THOSE RULES
WE SAY WHAT'S WHAT DOES THE
COUNCIL HAVE TO DO RELATIVE TO
THEIR REVIEW OFFICIAL
STATEMENT?
SO THE OFFICIAL STATEMENT HAS
AN INTRODUCTION SECTION WHICH
DESCRIBES THE PURPOSE OF THE
BONDS AS A SOURCE OF REPAYMENT
AND MORE DETAILED INFORMATION
AND DISCUSSION ON THE RISK
RELATED TO THE REPAYMENT AND
CAN BE FOUND IN THE SECURITY
FOR THE BONDS AND THE BOND
HOLDERS FOR SUCH RISK SECTION.
IN ADDITION THERE ARE
APPENDICES TO THE OFFICIAL
STATEMENT APPENDIX A DESCRIBES
THE CITY'S CURRENT FINANCIAL
POSITION AND FISCAL PRESSURES
AND ALSO GIVES INFORMATION ON
OUR GEOGRAPHIC DEMOGRAPHIC, 
ECONOMIC AND FINANCIAL
INFORMATION WHICH WE BELIEVE IS
USEFUL TO INVESTORS IN APPENDIX
B PROVIDES A VERY DETAILED
INFORMATION ABOUT THE CITY'S TO
RETIREMENT PLANS AND THEN
APPENDIX F. IS OUR CONTINUING
DISCLOSURE CERTIFICATE WHICH
OUTLINES OUR RESPONSIBLE TO
PROVIDE ONGOING UPDATED
INFORMATION.
WE DON'T EXPECT OUR ELECTED
OFFICIALS TO BE FACT CHECKERS
WITH RESPECT TO THE DOCUMENT. 
WE HAVE A WHOLE BUNCH OF CITY
STAFF THAT ARE ASSISTING US IN
DOING THAT.
ON THE NEXT SLIDE, THE ELECTED
OFFICIAL RESPONSIBILITY IS TO
LOOK AT THE DOCUMENT WITH
RESPECT TO KEY INFORMATION. 
WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF THE BOND
ISSUE?
WHAT ARE THE SOURCES
OF REPAYMENT? 
WHAT ARE THE RISKS THAT THOSE
SOURCES OF REPAYMENT MIGHT BE
INSUFFICIENT IN THE FUTURE TO
REPAY THOSE BONDS?
AND A DISCUSSION OF ANY OTHER
EVENTS OR INFORMATION THAT
COULD AFFECT THE DELIBERATIONS
TO A REASONABLE INVESTOR.
AND THEN AFTER YOU LOOKED AT IT
YOU'D ASK THE FOLLOWING
ADDITIONAL ELEMENTS SHOULD BE
CONSIDERED.
HAVE WE THE CITY BROUGHT
FORWARD ALL THE MATERIAL RISK
AND EVENTS THEY'RE BROUGHT THE
ATTENTION OF STAFF ON COUNCIL
AND OTHER PROFESSIONALS AND
HAVE THOSE RECENT EVENTS BEEN
DISCLOSED?
AND IF NOT, WHAT IS THE
RATIONALE FOR NON-DISCLOSURE?
SO WE ASK THE COUNCIL YOU KNOW
WHEN WE COME TO ITEM 1 AND 2 IF
YOU HAVE ANY PERSONAL KNOWLEDGE
OF ANY MATERIAL INFORMATION
THAT OFFICIAL STATEMENTS THAT
MAY BE FALSE OR MISLEADING TO
RAISE THOSE ISSUES PRIOR TO THE
APPROVAL OF THE DISTRIBUTION
OF THE DOCUMENT.
SO AND ALSO JUST AS A SUMMARY
WE DID.
WE MET WITH THE RATING AGENCIES
LAST WEEK AND WE EXPECT TO HAVE
UPDATES ON AND ON FOR RATINGS
ON THESE TWO BOND ISSUES ALONG
WITH OUTLOOKS ON THOSE RATINGS
BY NEXT MONDAY.
BUT AS A SUMMARY, THE RATINGS
ON THE EXISTING CITY HALL BONDS
ARE A DOUBLE EIGHT TWO AND
DOUBLE A DOUBLE TAKE FROM
MOODY'S, S&P AND FITCH AND I
SAID OUR BONDS DON'T CARRY A
RATING BECAUSE THEY'RE A
PRIVATE PLACEMENT WITH THE BANK
CURRENTLY. 
SO WE EXPECT TO SEE SIMILAR
RATINGS WHEN WE GET A RATING
REPORTS BACK.
SO WITH THAT I'LL TAKE ANY
QUESTIONS KIND OF AS AN
OVERVIEW OR MOVE RIGHT INTO
ITEM NUMBER ONE ON THE AGENDA. 
ANY QUESTIONS ON THE OVERVIEW
BEFORE WE MOVE INTO ITEM 1? 
THAT'S WHAT WE CANNOT THANK
YOU, MAYOR AND I REALLY
APPRECIATE THIS.
>> THIS IS ONE OF THE THINGS
THAT I ADVOCATED FOR SEVEN AND
A HALF YEARS AGO AND I'M REALLY
HAPPY THAT WE WENT FORWARD ON
THIS.
AND WE'RE TAKING GOING INTO
DEBT IN SUCH A SERIOUS MANNER.
AND I APPRECIATE THE WORK THAT
THE STAFF HAS DONE ON THIS.
>> AND DID YOU SAY THAT WE ARE
BOND RATINGS CAN BEING
REEVALUATED?
>> NEXT WEEK IS THAT WE?
>> YES, WE ARE.
WE MADE PRESENTS SO ALL THREE
RATING AGENCIES ON THURSDAY AND
FRIDAY OF LAST WEEK ON THESE
TWO PARTICULAR TRANSACTIONS AND
THEN THEY WILL COME BACK AND
WRITE THESE PARTICULAR
TRANSACTIONS.
SO WE EXPECT TO HAVE THOSE
READING REPORTS OF MONDAY NEXT
WEEK.
INTERESTING ARTICLE, AMI.
AND WE'LL LET THE COUNCIL KNOW
WHAT THE RATINGS ARE.
>> I APPRECIATE THAT.
>> THAT IS WHEN WHEN ALL THE
MUNICIPALITIES IN CALIFORNIA
ARE SUFFERING FROM SOME LOWER
TAX REVENUES THAN THEY EXPECTED
EARLIER IN THE YEAR.
I'M JUST CURIOUS AS TO HOW OUR
RATINGS ARE STILL LOOKING LIKE
EVEN THOUGH WE HAD TO CLOSE A
70 MILLION DOLLAR BUDGET
DEFICIT AT THE BEGINNING
OF THIS FISCAL CYCLE.
AGAIN, JULIA, I REALLY THANK
YOU FOR THE THOROUGHNESS
OF YOUR WORK.
YOU'VE ALWAYS BEEN A VERY
THOROUGH THOROUGHLY AND YOU
KNOW, VERY INTELLIGENT PERSON
THAT ALWAYS LOOKED UP TO IN OUR
FINANCE DEPARTMENT.
>> THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR WORK
.
THANK YOU.
THE QUESTION FOR YOU MOVE ON TO
THE SUBSTANTIVE ITEMS.
OK.
LET'S GO TO THE FIRST ENGINE. 
OKAY.
SO THE FIRST ITEM IS THE
APPROVAL OF THE REFUNDING
OF THE CIVIC CENTER BONDS.
AND SO NICOLE, I WILL ALSO BE
ASSESSED ASSISTING IN THIS
PRESENTATION.
SO ON SLIDE 2 THE OBJECTIVES
OF THE THE REFUNDING WHICH ARE
THE 20 20 A BONDS IS THAT THEY
WILL GENERATE BOTH ONE TIME AND
ONGOING GENERAL FUND SAVINGS.
THE TWO THOUSAND TWENTY A LEASE
REVENUE BONDS WILL REFUND PRIOR
BONDS THAT ARE OUTSTANDING
RELATED TO CITY HALL THE 2006 A
2013 A BONDS.
ALSO IT WILL REFUND AND PAY OFF
THE 2007 BONDS WHICH THE
RECREATIONAL FACILITIES WHICH
PROVIDES US AN OPPORTUNITY THE
LAST PROJECT LEFT IN THAT
FINANCING IS A LOSS LOGO'S GOLF
COURSE.
SO WHEN THOSE BONDS ARE PAID
OFF WILL NO LONGER HAVE ANY TAX
EXEMPT RESTRICTIONS ON THAT
FACILITY AND IT WILL ALSO
PREPAY LEASE OBLIGATIONS FROM A
MASTER EQUIPMENT.
IT WILL ALSO PROVIDE A SMALL
AMOUNT OF PROJECT FUNDING FOUR
POINT EIGHT MILLION FOR
IMPROVEMENTS FOR SPACE IN THE
FOURTH IN SAN FERNANDO STREET A
GARAGE FOR THE COMMUNITY ENERGY
DEPARTMENT.
YOU MAY RECALL THAT YOU
APPROVED THE USE OF COMMERCIAL
PAPER TO PROVIDE INITIAL BRIDGE
FINANCING FOR THAT PROJECT TO
HELP EXPAND THAT OFFICE SPACE
WITHIN THE CITY HALL FACILITY.
SO AS I MENTIONED, WE ARE USING
TAXABLE BONDS AS CITY HALL WILL
ALSO BE FUNDED WITH TAXABLE
BONDS TO FREE UP ALL THE
PRIVATE ACTIVITY USE
RESTRICTIONS AT BOTH CITY HALL
AND THE LOST STAFF SERGEANT. 
SO WITH THAT I'LL TURN IT OVER
TO NICK BY AFTERNOON COUNCIL
MEMBERS ON THE NEXT SLIDE
YOU'LL SEE THE DEBT SERVICE IN
RED FOR THESE FOUR OBLIGATIONS
THAT ARE OUTSTANDING. 
JULIAN MENTIONED THAT THOSE ARE
THE 2006 A 2003 13 A CITY HALL
BONDS TWO THOUSAND SEVEN A
RECREATION BONDS AND THE MASTER
EQUIPMENT POLICE OBLIGATIONS
AND WHAT YOU SEE IS THAT EVEN
THOUGH WE ARE BORROWING FOUR
POINT EIGHT MILLION DOLLARS
OF ADDITIONAL FUNDS FOR THE
CLEAN ENERGY PROJECT.
INTEREST RATES ARE SO LOW RIGHT
NOW EVEN TAXABLE INTEREST RATES
ARE SO RIGHT NOW.
NOW WE'RE GOING TO END UP WITH
DEBT SERVICE THAT WE CURRENTLY
PROJECTS WILL BE SIGNIFICANTLY
LOWER THAN THE DEBT SERVICE
OF ALL THESE OBLIGATIONS.
YOU'LL ALSO SEE THAT THOSE
SAVINGS COME EVEN HIGHER IN THE
EARLY YEARS BECAUSE OF THE
PREPAYMENT OF THOSE LEASE
OBLIGATIONS.
SO IN THOSE EARLY YEARS THE
SAVINGS WILL BE APPROXIMATELY
SIX MILLION DOLLARS A YEAR.
LOVELY.
NOW THE TWO POINT NINE MILLION
A YEAR SO AVERAGE SAVINGS EACH
YEAR FOUR POINT TWO MILLION
OVER THE LIFE OF THOSE BONDS. 
>> WE'LL DO THAT BY BORROWING
APPROXIMATELY 350 MILLION
DOLLARS OF TAXABLE DEBT THAT WE
RELEASE THE RESERVE FUNDS ON
THE EXISTING DEBT AND WE WILL
NOT FINDING NEW RESERVES ON THE
THE NEW DEBT IN. 
SPEAK TO THAT IN A MOMENT.
AND THAT'S HOW WE'LL ACHIEVE
THESE RESULTS. 
ON PAGE 5 AS AS JULIAN
MENTIONED, THESE ARE GENERAL
FUND LEASE OBLIGATIONS SECURED
BY THE RENTAL PAYMENTS ON CITY
HALL YOU KNOW, RESERVE FUND AND
THE RENTAL PAYMENTS WILL BE
ALLOCATED TO THE VARIOUS
DEPARTMENTS. 
WITH THAT I'LL TURN BACK TO
JULIA I'M SORRY JULIA OUT IN
YOUR AGENDA YOU HAVE A SERIES
OF DOCUMENTS THE RESOLUTIONS
THEY ARE OFFERING DOCUMENT
KNOWN AS A PRELIMINARY OFFICIAL
STATEMENT ETC. ACROSS THE SITE
WITH THE LEASE AGREEMENT, THE
BOND PURCHASE AGREEMENT AND
CONTINUED DISCLOSURE
CERTIFICATE ATTACHED TO THAT. 
COUNCIL MEMBERS MAY RECALL THAT
LAST YEAR FOR GENERAL
OBLIGATION BONDS YOU ALSO HAD
TO ADDRESS SENATE BILL OR 50
PROVIDING A WE ESTIMATE GOOD
FAITH ESTIMATE WHICH WE HAVE
WORKED ON WITH OUR FINANCIAL
ADVISORS AND UNDERWRITERS.
AND THAT IS ATTACHED TO EACH
RESOLUTION AS REQUIRED BY THE
SENATE BILL IF CITY COUNCIL
AUTHORITY BOTH APPROVE THE
TRANSACTION WE WILL RECEIVE OUR
RATINGS BY NEXT MONDAY AND BY
NEXT TUESDAY WE EXPECT TO
RELEASE THE OFFERING DOCUMENT
TO INVESTORS AFTER GOING
THROUGH ONE FINAL DISCUSSION
INTERNALLY TO MAKE SURE NOTHING
HAS CHANGED.
THE BONDS WILL PRICE SEPTEMBER
9 AND WE EXPECT TO CLOSE THE
TRANSACTION ON SEPTEMBER 24TH.
AND WITH THAT I WILL TURN IT
BACK TO JULIE PACE.
>> SO THANK YOU GUYS.
SO THE RECOMMENDATIONS TODAY
ARE FOR ONE THE COUNCIL NEEDS
TO HOLD A PUBLIC HEARING.
SO AND THEN ALSO FOR THE
COUNCIL TO ADOPT A RESOLUTION
APPROVING THE LEASE FINANCING
TO REFUND THE PRIOR BONDS AND
TO FUND A SMALL PORTION OF NEW
MONEY FOR THE IMPROVEMENTS IN
THE FOURTH IN SACRAMENTO STREET
GARAGE PROJECT AND TO ISSUE UP
TO THREE HUNDRED AND SIXTY FIVE
MILLION OF BONDS AND THEN
AUTHORIZE APPROVING OF THE
EXECUTION LEGAL DOCUMENTS AND
THE FINANCING AUTHORITY TAKE
SIMILAR ACTION WITH RESPECT
APPROVING THE ISSUANCE OF THE
BONDS AND THE ASSOCIATED
DOCUMENTS.
AND AS I MENTIONED IT DOES
REQUIRE TWO THIRDS OF THE CITY
COUNCIL TO APPROVE THE PROJECT
TO MOVE FORWARD.
SO WITH THAT WE'RE AVAILABLE TO
ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS JUST MAY.
>> THANK YOU BOTH FOR ALL THE
WORK YOU'VE DONE.
THAT'S GOING TO SAVE US
MILLIONS OF DOLLARS A TIME WE
CREDIT QUICKLY CRITICALLY NEED
TO DO JUST THAT.
AND OBVIOUSLY WE'LL NEED TO
SAVE A LOT MORE BECAUSE WE'RE
HEADING INTO SOME REALLY TOUGH
TIMES AND WE REALLY APPRECIATE
EVERYTHING YOU'RE DOING TO HELP
REDUCE FINANCING COSTS. 
WE CAN SPEND MONEY ON WHAT IS
MOST IMPORTANT WHICH IS PEOPLE
WE NEED SPEND MONEY ON ON THE
PEOPLE WHO PROVIDE THE SERVICES
TO OUR COMMUNITY AND SO REALLY
APPRECIATE WHAT YOU'RE DOING.
LET'S GO FIRST TO THE PUBLIC
AND THEY'LL COME RIGHT BACK
THERE. 
BEEKMAN HI.
THANK YOU FOR THIS ITEM. 
I THINK TO WORK TO GIVE
PRESENTATIONS OF BOND ISSUES IS
IS AN INTERESTING AND GOOD
IDEA.
THANK YOU.
>> IT SETS A GOOD SCHEDULE
PRIORITIES HOW TO THINK ABOUT
THINGS AS THE PUBLIC HAS A
PUBLIC PROCESS.
>> THANK YOU. 
AND ESPECIALLY AT THIS TIME
OF COBIA. 
YEAH, JUST ALL THE MORE
IMPORTANT.
THANKS. 
>> YOU GAVE A REALLY GOOD
BUDGET SUMMARY OUTLINE IN
OFFICE LAST WEEK THAT GAVE ME A
VERY GOOD GRADE TO SHOW WHERE
BONDS FIT INTO THE OVERALL
REVENUE A CITY HAS AND IT IT
WAS IT WAS A GOOD BEGINNER'S
GUIDE.
>> THANK YOU.
FAIRLY GOOD.
IT SEEMED LIKE. 
>> YEAH.
AND JUST JUST TO OFFER YOU KNOW
I I AM NOT THAT IN DEPTH ABOUT
ECONOMIC ISSUES BUT I REALLY DO
LIKE THE IDEA OF BONDS AND HOW
MINIMAL AMOUNTS OF MONEY CAN
CREATE BETTER PROJECTS AND CAN
SPREAD THE USE OF A DOLLAR
FARTHER SOMETIMES.
>> AND I'M INTERESTED IN THOSE
CONCEPTS.
I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S GOING TO
BE DEVELOPED IN THE NEXT FEW
YEARS.
BUT BUT THANK YOU.
IT IS THIS IS AN ITEM THAT HAS
SOME SEEMS HAD SOME NICE
INTENTIONS.
AND THANK YOU FOR MAKING IT
PUBLIC TODAY.
>> THANK YOU, CONSERVATIVES.
>> THANK YOU.
I WANT I WANT TO THANK THE
FINANCE TEAM FOR FOR ONCE AGAIN
HAVING THEIR EYE OUT FOR HOW TO
IN A WAY TO SAVE US ON ONGOING
MONEY.
I VERY MUCH APPRECIATE THAT. 
I HAVE A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS.
ONE IS ABOUT THE TENANT
IMPROVEMENTS THAT WE'RE DOING
FOR COMMUNITY ENERGY.
IS IS THAT DEPARTMENT GOING TO
REPAY THAT PART OF THE BOND?
SO WHAT HAPPENS?
COUNCIL MEMBER DAVIS IS RIGHT
NOW.
WE SPREAD THE DEBT SERVICE FOR
CITY HALL BASED ON A FORMULA
HOW MUCH SQUARE FOOTAGE?
DIFFERENT DEPARTMENTS USE
WITHIN THE FACILITY AND THEN AN
ALLOCATION OF THE SHARED SPACE
LIKE THE COUNCIL CHAMBERS AND
COMMITTEE ROOMS AND THINGS LIKE
THAT.
SO WHAT WE'LL DO IS THAT
CREATES A DENOMINATOR THAT FIVE
HUNDRED SOME ODD THOUSAND
SQUARE FEET.
SO THE ADDITIONAL SIX THOUSAND
SQUARE FEET FOR THAT WILL JUST
BE ADDED TO THE CITY HALL
COMPLEX SQUARE FOOTAGE AND THEN
SPREAD ACROSS MATHEMATIC PLACE
.
SO.
SO HOW WE SPREAD THAT SERVICE
WILL WE'LL A LITTLE BIT BIGGER
CITY FACILITY IN WHICH WE'RE
SPREADING THE DENSE SERVICE SO
THEY WILL BE ALLOCATED A
PORTION OF IT BASED ON THE MAP
FOR EVERYBODY ELSE. 
OK.
>> AND I ASSUME THEY'LL BE
SINCE I'LL BE TAKING UP THAT
SIX THOUSAND SQUARE FEET IT'LL
BE A BIGGER PROPORTION THAN
THEY HAVE.
>> RIGHT.
AND ACTUALLY INITIALLY STARTING
OFF THEY WILL BE USING THE FULL
SIX THOUSAND SQUARE FEET.
SOME OF IT WILL BE AVAILABLE OR
PROBABLY SOME MORE GENERAL
OFFICE COMMITTEE MEETING ROOM
SPACE AND COUNCIL CONFERENCE
SPACE THAT WE FELT OURSELVES
VERY SHORT OF BEFORE WE ALL
WENT HOME AND STARTED MEETING
ON ZOO AT OUR KITCHEN TABLES.
BUT THEY WEREN'T INITIALLY IN
USE ALL THE SPACE SO WE
ALLOCATED KIND OF A GENERAL
BASIS.
>> OK.
>> THE REASON THAT GIVES ME
PAUSE IS THAT WE WHEN WE
STARTED COMMUNITY ENERGY IT WAS
SUPPOSED TO BE A DEPARTMENT
THAT WAS THAT WAS
SELF-SUSTAINING THAT WOULDN'T
COST THE CITY ANY MONEY.
>> AND IT ISN'T LIKE RIGHT NOW
THEY'RE ALLOCATED THE SPACE
THAT THEY ARE IN THE 14TH
FLOOR.
SO IT'S JUST FROM A MATH
PERSPECTIVE THEY'LL BE THEY'LL
BE ALLOCATED THERE IF THEY'RE
RATHER PART OF THIS SPACE.
THE COST OF CITY HALL.
SO OK, AND THEN THE OTHER
QUESTION I HAVE, JULIA IS THAT
THE THE LAST SLIDE HAD THAT WE
WERE AUTHORIZING AND MAYBE IT'S
A TYPO OR MAYBE I JUST
MISUNDERSTOOD.
>> WE'RE AUTHORIZED THE SALE
AND ISSUANCE OF THREE HUNDRED
SIXTY FIVE MILLION DOLLARS IN
BONDS.
BUT THE THE CHART ON SLIDE 4 I
THINK IT WAS HAD A TOTAL
OF THREE HUNDRED EIGHTY FIVE
MILLION.
SO ARE WE USING SOME OF THE
RESERVES TO MAYBE I JUST
MISUNDERSTOOD THIS. 
>> I MEAN JUST THE FACT THAT SO
YES IF YOU LOOK IF YOU LOOK
AT THE TOP OF MAYBE NICKEL I
CAN PUT SLIDE FOR BACK UP.
SO YES.
SO THERE ARE OTHER SOURCES
OF REVENUE COMING IN.
SO THE AMOUNT OF THE BONDS BUT
THEN WE WON'T BE FUNDING A
RESERVE FUND A DEBT SERVICE
RESERVE FUND WITH THIS.
SO THAT'S CONTRIBUTING ABOUT
TWENTY SIX MILLION DOLLARS IN
CASH TO THE FINANCING. 
AND THEN THERE'S ALSO THE
RESERVE RELEASE OF THE RESERVE
FROM THE FROM THE 2007 BONDS
OF ABOUT TWO POINT TWO MILLION
.
SO THERE'S ABOUT 28 AND A HALF
MILLION DOLLARS OF CASH THAT'S
CONTRIBUTED TO THE REFUNDING
WHICH REDUCES THE AMOUNT
OF BONDS THAT WE ISSUED.
OK.
>> SO THAT WAS GOING TO BE MY
QUESTION IS WHAT WHAT WE'RE
DOING WITH THAT RESERVE MONEY
AND WE'RE GONNA PLOW IT BACK
INTO THERE TO REDUCE THAT THE
PRINCIPAL.
>> YES.
AND THEN IT GOES THEN TO REDEEM
THE TWO THOUSAND SEVEN A BONDS
THE ASSOCIATED LOST LOGOS GOLF
COURSE AND THEN TO PAY OFF THE
ESCALATIONS BASICALLY HOW IT
WORKS.
SO CAN BE ON THAT CHART YOU CAN
SEE THE CASH COMING IN.
AND THEN THE DEPOSITS INTO THE
VARIOUS FUNDS FOR THE RE
FUNDINGS AND THEN THE LITTLE
BIT OF THE PROJECT FUND.
SO I THINK I UNDERSTAND I I
UNDERSTAND ALSO THAT WE HAD IN
THE BUDGET THAT WE WERE GOING
TO RETIRE THE LOW DEBT.
>> WE ALSO HAVE IN THE BUDGET
THAT WE WERE GOING TO DO THIS.
>> THIS WAS THIS RETIRING LAST
LOGOS CAME FROM DOING THIS
TRANSACTION. 
DOING THIS REFUNDING IS WHAT
CREATES THE CASH THAT'S
AVAILABLE TO RETIRE THE LOSS
LOGOS.
OK, THANK YOU.
DOESN'T MEAN YOU NEED EMOTION. 
YES.
AND MAYOR, I THINK THAT YOU
OPEN THIS PUBLIC HEARING.
>> I HAVE NOT YET. 
SO AT THIS TIME WE WILL OPEN
THE PUBLIC HEARING AND WE'VE
ALREADY HEARD FROM MR. BEEKMAN
,THE PERSON WITH PHONE NUMBER
AND 5 1 4 0. 
WELCOME TO. 
>> I JUST CAME IN LATE.
THE TOPIC THE CITY CENTERS IS A
FINANCING AUTHORITY TAX BILL
THESE REVENUE BONDS SERIES 20
28. 
>> YEAH I KNOW.
I THINK YOU SHOULD VOTE NO ON
ALL TAXES. 
THAT'S WHAT I THINK YOU WANT.
>> YOU WANT TO GO OUT ON A BOND
TO RAISE TAXES. 
>> YOU THINK MINISTER, HOW
ABOUT QUIT WASTING MONEY ON ALL
THOSE FRIVOLOUS THAT YOU GUYS
DO ALL YEAR? 
>> ALL RIGHT.
>> THANK YOU.
WE'LL TAKE IN COMMENTS THAT ARE
PRINTED THE ACTUAL ITEM THAT'S
BEFORE THE COUNCIL.
ALL RIGHT.
RETURNING TO THE COUNCIL A
COUPLE OF QUESTIONS.
>> JULIETTE AGAIN.
OH, COUNCILMEMBER. 
GO AHEAD, JULIETTE.
>> THANK YOU AGAIN.
IN REGARDS TO THE CHOICE TO GO
WITH TAXABLE BONDS VERSUS NON
NONTAXABLE BONDS. 
>> CAN YOU EXPLAIN A LITTLE BIT
OF WHY YOU WENT THAT ROUTE?
>> BECAUSE IT IS MORE.
WE DO HAVE TO PAY A HIGHER
INTEREST I IMAGINE FOR TAXABLE
BONDS THAN FOR NONTAXABLE BONDS
.
YES, IT'S A SLIGHTLY HIGHER
INTEREST RATE IN TODAY'S MARKET
.
BUT WHAT'S REALLY DRIVING THEM
THE BIGGEST COMPONENT OF ITS IS
THAT 2013 A BONDS WHICH ARE THE
LARGEST PIECE OF THIS REFUNDING
CANNOT BE ADVANCED REFUNDED TAX
BASIS.
THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT TOOK
AWAY IN TWENTY SEVENTEEN WITH
THE TAX ACT THE ABILITY FOR
LOCAL AGENCIES TO ADVANCE
REFUND TAX EXEMPT DEBT BUT WE
CAN'T ADVANCE REFUND OUR TAX
CODE THAT 2013 BONDS ARE
CALLABLE UNTIL 2023.
SO WE SAW AN OPPORTUNE ENTITY
AND BECAUSE INTEREST RATES ARE
SO LOW AND THE ABILITY NOW TO
RELEASE THE DEBT SERVICE
RESERVE FUND THAT TWENTY SIX
MILLION DOLLARS WHICH THEN
ESSENTIALLY CREATES THE
MECHANISM THAT ALLOWS US TO PAY
OFF THE LOSS LOGO'S FORECAST
AND THEN CREATE MORE OF AN
OPPORTUNITY FOR US TO MONETIZE
THAT AND HAVE A BETTER
MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT AND THEN
ALSO TO PAY OFF A MUCH HIGHER
THE ESKO LEASE THAT THOSE ARE
THE ADVANTAGES OF DOING THAT
AND CREATING ONGOING SAVINGS
FOR THE CITY WERE GIVEN WHERE
WE ARE WITH OVERALL INTEREST
RATES THAT WE THOUGHT IT WAS
ADVANTAGEOUS TO DO THAT TODAY
AND WAIT TO SEE WHERE THE
MARKET MAY BE IN 2023. 
>> AGAIN, I WASN'T I WASN'T
ASKING ABOUT WAITING JUST JUST
TO AX ABOUT VERSUS NONTAXABLE
BUT IT YOU KNOW I REALLY I'M SO
HAPPY WE'RE GETTING RID OF THE
LOANS LOGOS BECAUSE THEY WERE
RESTRICTING THE AMOUNT
OF THINGS THAT WE COULD DO WITH
WITH THAT GOLF COURSE.
>> AS FAR AS WHO WE ASKED TO
TAKE CARE OF IT AND VERY HAPPY
THAT WE'RE GOING DOWN THIS
DIRECTION.
YEAH.
>> AND JUST JUST TO KIND TO
GIVE YOU AN INDICATION WHEN WE
RAN NUMBERS I THINK IT WAS BACK
IN JUNE EARLY JULY.
WE'RE ESTIMATING THAT THE TRUE
INTEREST COST ON THESE BONDS
EVEN WITH THEM ALL BEING
TAXABLE IS AROUND TWO AND A
HALF PERCENT.
SO IT'S STILL VERY POSITIVE
ASSETS.
OKAY, GREAT.
>> AND YOU KNOW AND WHERE DO WE
CURRENT?
DO YOU KNOW WHAT WE'RE
CURRENTLY PAYING FOR THESE
BONDS AS FAR AS INTEREST RATES
ARE CONCERNED?
>> I THINK IN THE 4 PERCENT
RANGE.
SO WE'RE ALMOST HALF THE
INTEREST. 
THIS IS SPECTACULAR.
YOU KNOW, YOU'VE AMAZE ME EVERY
YEAR LOOKING FOR WAYS TO SAVE
BONDS. 
AND YOU KNOW THAT LAST YEAR WE
DID A COUPLE OF BILLION IF I
RECALL CORRECTLY. 
IN ANY CASE, I DO HAVE ONE MORE
QUESTION.
>> WE EXTEND THE LIFE OF THE
BOND.
ARE WE ARE WE GOING OUT
AT EXTENDING THE BOND PAYMENT
PERIOD?
>> NO. 
OKAY.
ALL RIGHT.
AND IF SO, IF IF I.
I DON'T KNOW IF I CAN MAKE A
MOTION NOW OR NOT, BUT I'D LIKE
TO MOTION TO ACCEPT. 
ALL RIGHT.
>> I'LL CLOSE THE PUBLIC
HEARING TO VOTE ON THE CLOSURE
OF THE PUBLIC HEARING OR I'M
SORRY WHEN WE NEED IT FOR THIS
SECOND ITEM AS WELL.
>> THERE'S VERY HERE I HAVE TO
SEPARATE HERE.
>> THERE ARE TWO SEPARATE HERE
AT YEAH YEAH.
YEAH.
>> NOR DO WE NEED SEPARATELY ON
THE CLOSURE OF A PUBLIC HEARING
.
I KNOW NOT FOR THIS BECAUSE YOU
CAN GO TO THE WELL YOU SHOULD
VOTE ON THIS ONE FIRST AND YOU
NEED THE TWO THIRDS VOTE I
UNDERSTAND.
BUT BOY DO WE CLOSE A PUBLIC
HEARING BEFORE.
YES. 
OK.
OK.
SO THEN I'LL TAKE THAT MOTION
IS A MOTION TO CLOSE A PUBLIC
HEARING, RIGHT?
>> TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING.
OK.
I JUST HAD A QUICK QUESTION,
JOY ON FOLLOWING UP ON
COUNCILMEMBER KANSAS QUESTION. 
I'M GUESSING THERE CERTAINLY
ECONOMIES OF SCALE THAT WOULD
MAKE YOU DECIDE TO GO ALL ONE
WAY OR ANOTHER.
>> BUT HAD YOU CONSIDERED THE
POSSIBILITY OF BIFURCATING AN
EXAMPLE OF THE CITY HALL SPACE
ISSUING NONTAXABLE BONDS THAT
WOULD BE TAX EXEMPT RATHER THAT
WOULD BE ISSUED AT A LOWER
INTEREST RATE?
>> YEAH, I MEAN BUT AGAIN THE
ISSUE IS THAT THE 2013 BONDS
ARE THE BIGGEST PORTION OF THE
REFUND HERE AND THEY'RE NOT
ELIGIBLE FOR A TAX EXEMPT
REFUNDING THAT PUT THE 2006
BONDS ARE A BETTER GET.
BUT AGAIN WE JUST THOUGHT THAT
IT WAS A MUCH EASIER
TRANSACTION AND THEN ALSO THERE
ARE SOME TAX ISSUES THAT ARE
ASSOCIATED WITH US PAYING OFF
THE 2007 BONDS AND THE ESCROW.
SO WE'RE DEALING WITH SOME
OF THOSE MORE INTRICACIES
OF THE TAX ISSUE ASSOCIATED
WITH THE RELEASE OF THE REEF
RESERVE FUND TAXES EVERY
RESERVE FUND IT'S BEEN ALSO
KIND OF IS REPLACED WITH
TAXABLE PROCEEDS. 
SO IT GETS A LITTLE CONVOLUTED
BUT THERE IS A LARGE SYSTEM
BLESSED.
I APPRECIATE THERE'S A LARGE
CHARGE OF FINANCING CANNOT BE
TAKEN OUT WITH A NONTAXABLE
DEBT. 
>> THE QUESTION WAS FOR THAT
PORTION THAT CAN BE ISSUED AS
NONTAXABLE DEBT WHICH I ASSUME
FOR EXAMPLE THE THE PORTION
RELATING FOR EXAMPLE TO THE
TODAY THAT COST OF RENOVATING
THIS SPACE FOR STANDS CLEAN
ENERGY.
>> HAD WE CONSIDERED DOING A
SEPARATE ISSUANCE WE HAD NOT WE
DECIDE TO DO THE WHOLE
TRANSACTION ON A TAXABLE BASIS
AND THAT TO SAY DOES IT SAVE
MONEY DOING IT THAT WAY JUST IN
TERMS OF TRANSACTION COSTS IS
THAT THAT WAY OR DOES ON
TRANSACTION COSTS IT ALSO
SIMPLIFIES OUR ABILITY TO
MANAGE THE FACILITY ON A GOING
FORWARD BASIS WITH RESPECT TO
NOT HAVING TO CARVE OUT WHICH
PORTION OF THE FACILITY IS TAX
EXEMPT AND WHICH PORTION ARE
TAXABLE.
>> AND AS YOU KNOW, WE HAVE A
LARGE TENANT RIGHT NOW THAT
DRIVES PRIVATE ACTIVITY THAT
BEING THE US PATENT OFFICE AND
SO WITH THE EXTENSION OF THEIR
LEASES WE KEEP PUSHING UP
AGAINST OUR MAXIMUM AMOUNT
OF TAX EXEMPTION. 
OH, THEY ARE CONSIDERED
PRIVATE.
YES, THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT THE
FEDERAL GOVERNMENT IS
CONSIDERED A PRIVATE USER. 
WOW.
>> THAT'S FASCINATING FOR YOU
IN EVERY DIRECTION WITH THE
IRS.
THEY DON'T EVEN CONSIDER
THEMSELVES TO BE. 
YEAH, I THINK THEY DON'T WANT
TO GET THE ADVANTAGE OF THE
MONEY NOT GO INTO THE TREASURY
REGULATION TAX EXCEPT THAT SO.
SO THEY ARE CONSIDERED A
PRIVATE USER IRONIC.
>> OK.
>> THEN THE OTHER QUESTION I
HAD.
FORGIVE ME MY IGNORANCE
FINANCING BUT YOU KNOW A LOT
OF FOLKS ARE ARE LOOKING TO THE
FUTURE AS BEING A TROUBLING
TIME TENSELY FOR A LOT OF MUNIS
NOT NECESSARILY AS A I THINK
WE'RE IN MUCH BETTER FINANCIAL
SHAPE THAN MANY BUT CERTAINLY
LAW SCHOOL DISTRICTS THEY'RE
LOOKING AT RAPIDLY RISING COSTS
FOR RETIREMENT OBLIGATIONS AND
THINGS OF THAT NATURE AND THAT
THEIR MARKET MAY VERY SOON BE
MUCH LESS RECEPTIVE TO TO LOCAL
PUBLIC DEBT.
>> AND I'M JUST WONDERING ONCE
WE ISSUE IN SEPTEMBER WE HOPE
THAT RISK ALL BUT YES, IT'S ALL
FIXED RATE THAT WE'VE LOCKED IT
.
WE HAVE OUR PAYMENT SCHEDULE TO
THE FINAL MATURITY SO NO MATTER
WHAT HAPPENS IN THE REST
OF MUNI BOND WORLD, YOU KNOW
ALL THE RATINGS AGENCIES CAN GO
CRAZY.
>> BUT WE WERE LOCKED IN THIS. 
>> OKAY.
THAT'S GREAT CONCERN.
IF ONLY YOU HAD YOUR YOUR HAND
UP. 
>> I JUST WANTED TO OFFER A
CLARIFICATION REGARDING WHAT
WE'RE DOING HERE.
WE ARE DOING NOTHING MORE THAN
SMART MONEY MANAGEMENT WHICH IS
REFUNDING OUR CURRENT BONDS
WHICH IS THE SAME AS A PROPERTY
OWNER REFINANCING THEIR DEBT IN
ORDER TO LOWER THE INTEREST
RATE IS THAT MY SIMPLE LAYMAN'S
TERMS?
CORRECT.
JULIA? 
YES, THAT IS TRUE. 
SO THE RESIDENT WHO CALLED
EARLIER WHO HAPPENS TO BE MY
DIEP RESIDENT I WANT TO CLARIFY
THAT THIS IS NOT NEW ADDITIONAL
BONDS THAT WE'RE VOTING TO TAX
THEM ANYMORE.
JUST WANTED THERE ON THAT.
THANK YOU.
>> YES, THERE ARE NO TAXES
ATTACHED.
ALL RIGHT.
OK.
THEN ON THE MOTION TO CLOSE THE
HEARING, TONI. 
>> YES, PERALEZ. 
>> DIEP.
LET'S GO.
I MEAN THIS I FURTHER ARENAS I
FULLY I AM I JONES. 
LICCARDO ESPARZA. 
>> YES.
>> THANK YOU. 
>> OK.
THAT CONCLUDES VOTING
TERRITORY.
OK.
WELL NOW HEAR A MOTION TO
APPROVE THE ITEM SO MOVED BY. 
>> ALL RIGHT, LET'S VOTE.
COUNCILMEMBER ESPARZA.
YEAH.
YOUR HAND RAISED? 
>> YES.
>> ARE WE ON TO YOU NOW OR NOT?
OH, OK.
NONWHITE CARD. 
WE ALREADY HAD A MOTION FROM
KHAMIS SECONDED BY FOLEY BEFORE
WE DID THE MOTION TO CLOSE THE
PUBLIC HEARING.
>> THAT'S FINE.
>> WE'LL ACCEPT THAT IS THE
MOTION MINUS? 
YES.
PERALEZ. 
DIEP.
CARRASCO HI.
DAVIS. 
I BERRYESSA.
YES.
BERENICE. 
YES.
FULLY I DO MISS.
I DRONES ARE PART OF THANK.
OK.
THERE WAS ONLY 3 OR 57 MILLION
.
LET'S MOVE ON THEN TO ITEM 2
WHICH IS THE CITY SEEN AS A
FINANCING AUTHORITY TAXABLE
LEASE REVENUE BONDS TO RAISE 20
20 B OR THE CENTER PROJECT BUT
THANK YOU MAYOR.
>> SO I AM NANCY KLEIN JOINING
AND MAKING A PRESENTATION TODAY
MATT CATO AND JIM SHANNON ARE
AVAILABLE IF THERE'S ANY
QUESTIONS RELATED BUDGET OR AND
OR PUBLIC WORKS PROJECT IN
GENERAL. 
SO.
SO SOMETHING JUST SLIDE TO THE
OBJECTIVES OF THE 2020 BONDS
ARE TO PROVIDE ONE HUNDRED AND
TWENTY MILLION TO FUND THE ICE
CENTER EXPANSION PROJECT WHICH
INCLUDES TWO NEW RINKS AND
BUILDINGS AT THE ICE CENTER.
IT WILL ALSO REFUND A LITTLE
OVER 11 MILLION OF OUTSTANDING
LEASE REVENUE BONDS WHICH ARE
THE TWO THOUSAND EIGHT EE
BONDS.
THOSE ARE CURRENTLY VARIABLE
RATE SO WE'LL BE TAKING THOSE
OUT WITH LOWER FIXED RATE
BONDS.
THIS IS A GENERAL FUND LEASE
OBLIGATION.
HOWEVER THE CITY WILL BE
ENTERING INTO AN AMENDED AND
RESTATED LEASE AND MANAGEMENT
AGREEMENT WITH THE SHARKS IN
WHICH BASE RENT PAID BY THE
SHARKS WILL BE SUFFICIENT TO
COVER THE DEBT SERVICE ON THE
BONDS THAT THE CITY AND THE
SHARKS WILL EXECUTE THAT
AGREEMENT CONCURRENTLY WITH THE
BOND CLOSING AND THE SHARKS
WOULD BE OBLIGATED TO MAKE
THOSE BASE RENT AND ADDITIONAL
RENT PAYMENTS TO THE CITY WHICH
NANCY DESCRIBE IN MORE DETAIL.
ADDITIONALLY, UNDER THE FOURTH
EXPANSION AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE
CITY AND THE SHARKS, THE SHARKS
WILL CONSTRUCT THE ICE CENTER
USING ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY
MILLION DOLLARS OF BONDS
PROCEEDS. 
IT'S IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER THAT
THE CITY OWNS THE LAND AND WILL
RETAIN OWNERSHIP OF THE COST
IMPROVEMENTS AND THE NEW
IMPROVEMENTS.
SO WITH THAT I'LL TURN IT OVER
TO NANCY.
>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH, JULIA. 
JUST A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE
CURRENT OPERATIONS THERE. 
THE FACILITY ICE CENTER IS
OF COURSE RUN BY SHARKS ICE AND
ALL FOUR RINKS ARE AVAILABLE
FOR PUBLIC SKATING FREE COVE .
THE FACILITY WAS JAM PACKED
OPEN FROM FIVE THIRTY A.M. TO
130 A.M. ALL THE TIME POSTS
CODED. 
THE FACILITY CLOSED IN MARCH
AND REOPENED IN JUNE FOR YOUTH
CAMPS AND WAS STILL OPEN FROM
6:00 A.M. TO MIDNIGHT.
A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE INTENDED
FOURTH CENTER EXPANSION PROJECT
ROUGHLY THE PROJECT WILL ADD
TWO HUNDRED THOUSAND TWO
HUNDRED THOUSAND SQUARE FEET
AND IT WILL ADD A FIFTH RINK
THAT WILL BE OPEN FOR PUBLIC
SKATING AND THE 6 RINK WILL
ALSO BE AN ARENA FOR THE
AMERICAN HOCKEY BARRACUDA FOR
HOME GAMES AND PRACTICES AND
PUBLIC USE.
INCLUDED IN THE BUILDING WILL
BE SHELF SPACE ON THE THIRD
FLOOR FOR A MEDICAL OR OTHER
OFFICE USER TO SUPPORT SERVICES
FOR THE PUBLIC AS WELL AS FOR
THOSE A GEL OR OTHERS
ASSOCIATED WITH THE FACILITY. 
THE CONSTRUCTION IS INTENDED TO
BE COMPLETE BY AUGUST OF 2000
20 TO AND IF YOU WOULD CHANGE
THE SITE.
>> THERE WE GO.
THE PARTIES TO THE AGREEMENT
ARE THE CITY AND SHARK SITES.
THE INITIAL TERM COMMENCES
OCTOBER 2020 AND ENDING IN JUNE
2051 OR A 30 YEAR TERM TO TO
COINCIDE WITH THE TWENTY 20 B
DEBT SERVICE PAYMENTS THE
EXTENSION THERE IS EXTENSION
OPTIONS TO ALLOW THE AGREEMENT
TO GO FOR ANOTHER TWENTY FIVE
YEARS AND IT'S IMPORTANT TO
NOTE THE EXTENSION RENT WILL BE
BASED FAIR MARKET VALUE NOW NO
LONGER DEBT SERVICE AS THERE
WON'T BE BONDS REMAINING ON THE
RENT SHARK SIZE WILL MAKE
ANNUAL RENT PAYMENTS AND THEY
WILL DO SO QUARTERLY.
THE INITIAL SHARK SIZED
PAYMENTS WILL BE ONE HUNDRED
EIGHTY SEVEN THOUSAND FIVE
HUNDRED DOLLARS FOR EIGHT
CONSECUTIVE FISCAL QUARTERS TO
COINCIDE WITH THE CAPITALIZED
INTEREST AND CONSTRUCTION
PERIOD OR SEVEN HUNDRED AND
FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLARS PER YEAR
THEREAFTER THE BASE RENT
PAYMENTS WILL GRADUALLY
INCREASE DURING THE
STABILIZATION PERIOD WHICH
LASTS FROM FISCAL YEAR 2023
TWENTY TO TWENTY THREE THROUGH
THE FIRST TWO QUARTERS
OF FISCAL YEAR 26 27 AFTER THE
STABILIZATION PERIOD AND UNTIL
FINAL MATURES OF THE TWENTY
TWENTY B BONDS BASE RENT WILL
RECEIVE REFLECT THE FIXED
PAYMENT SCHEDULE OF THE TWENTY
TWENTY B BONDS PLUS A SPREAD
OF 50 BASIS POINTS. 
>> THERE IS ALSO A LETTER
OF CREDIT WHICH IS SECURED FOR
THE SHARKS.
>> PAYMENT OBLIGATIONS TO THE
CITY.
THIS IS NOT FOR THE BOND
HOLDERS.
THE SHARK SHALL DELIVER TO THE
CITY EITHER.
AN IRREVOCABLE LETTER OF CREDIT
IN FAVOR OF THE CITY AS
BENEFICIARY OR A CASH SECURITY
DEPOSIT.
SUCH OBLIGATION SHALL CONTINUE
UNTIL THE EARLIER OF JUNE 30TH.
TWENTY FIFTY ONE OR THE DATE
THAT ALL DEBT SERVICE UNDER THE
TWENTY TWENTY B BONDS HAS BEEN
PAID IN FULL. 
THE LETTER OF CREDIT WILL
INITIALLY BE IN THE AMOUNT
EQUIVALENT TO APPROXIMATELY TWO
YEARS OF MAXIMUM ANNUAL DEBT
SERVICE UPON ISSUANCE OF THE
TWENTY TWENTY B BONDS.
THE LLC IS NOT PLEDGED AS
SECURITY FOR THE TWENTY TWENTY
B BONDS ON CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS
AND RESERVES.
>> THE SHARKS ARE RESPONSIBLE
FOR ALL CAPITAL REPAIRS AND
REPLACEMENT. 
>> THEY ARE SUBJECT TO ANNUAL
REVIEW AND APPROVAL BY THE
ARENA AUTHORITY AND THE CITY
THE CAPITAL REHABILITATE
PENSION RESERVE CREDITED TO IS
CREDITED TO FUND XOR ORDINARY
REPAIR WORK WHICH IS THE
OBLIGATION OF THE CITY'S AND
IT'S IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT THE
AGREEMENT WAS NEGOTIATED SO
THAT ANY COST OVERRUNS WOULD BE
THE RESPONSIBLE OF THE SHARKS
NOT THE CITY.
>> THE ARENA AUTHORITY
CURRENTLY CONTRIBUTES
APPROXIMATELY FIFTY ONE
THOUSAND FOUR HUNDRED AND FIFTY
FOUR DOLLARS ANNUALLY.
THAT'S TRUE FOR THIS FISCAL
YEAR WELL FOR SORRY FOR TWENTY
TWENTY ONE. 
AND WHAT THIS MEMORANDUM ALLOWS
IS THAT IT WILL INCREASE TO
SEVENTY FIVE THOUSAND A YEAR A
PRO-RATED AMOUNT AND EVENTUALLY
TO SUPPORT ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND
DOLLARS PER YEAR.
ALSO WANT TO MENTION THAT FOR
THE TWENTY TWENTY ONE FISCAL
YEAR THE AMOUNT FOR CITY
ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES IS
ESTIMATED TO BE SEVENTY FIVE
THOUSAND DOLLARS AND WILL BE
PAID FOR BY THE BOND. 
>> THE TICKET DISTRIBUTION
PROGRAM WILL BE ADMINISTERED
AND THE SHARKS WILL PROVIDE THE
CITY WITH UP TO TWENTY
COMPLIMENTARY CLUB LEVEL SEAT
TICKETS TO BARRACUDA HOME HOME
GAMES FOR DISTRIBUTION FOR
MUNICIPAL PURPOSES AND THOSE
WILL BE DISTRIBUTED BY THE
ARENA AUTHORITY. 
>> NOW THE KEY BUSINESS TERMS
JUST TO SHARE A LITTLE BIT MORE
ABOUT THE LEASE AGREEMENT HAS
LONG TERM LEASES THAT ARE BUILT
INTO THE LEASE. 
THE BARRACUDA WILL SIGN A 30
YEAR SUBLEASE FOR THE
BARRACUDAS OCCUPANCY FOR THE
AMERICAN HOCKEY LEAGUE TRAINING
FACILITY AND THE SAN JOSE
SHARKS WILL SIGN A 30 YEAR
SUBLEASE FOR THE NATIONAL
LEAGUE NATIONAL HOCKEY LEAGUE
TRAINING FACILITY.
THERE CAN BE HOOPS
SUBSTITUTIONS IN THE UNLIKELY
EVENT THAT EITHER THE BARRACUDA
OR THE SHARKS WOULD RELOCATE TO
ANOTHER VENUE.
>> SHARKS ICE WOULD BE
RESPONSIBLE TO PAY ALL AMOUNTS
TO DO UNDER THEIR SUBLEASE
UNTIL A SUITABLE SUBSTITUTE IS
FOUND THAT'S ACCEPTABLE TO THE
CITY ON PARKING.
IN ADDITION TO ROUGHLY FOUR
HUNDRED AND THIRTY FIVE ONSITE
PARKING SPACES THAT WILL BE
AVAILABLE FOR SHARK SIZE
PATRONS SHARK SIZE WILL ENTER
INTO A PARKING AGREEMENT WITH
SAN JOSE STATE UNIVERSITY FOR
PARKING IN THEIR NEW GARAGE.
THE PARKING AGREEMENT MUST
AT LEAST ALIGN WITH THE INITIAL
TERM OF THE AGREEMENT AND ALLOW
THE PARKING AGREEMENT TO BE
ASSIGNED TO THE CITY OR OTHER
OPERATOR OF THE ICE CENTER IF
YOU GO ONTO THE NEXT SLIDE.
>> THE TERM AGAIN OF THE
EXPANSION AGREEMENT AND THIS IS
SPECIFICALLY NOW WE'RE TALKING
ABOUT THE FOURTH EXPANSION
AGREEMENT.
THAT AGREEMENT WILL CONCLUDE
WITH THE END OF THE
CONSTRUCTION OF THE
IMPROVEMENTS IN AUGUST 2022.
CONSTRUCTION COSTS ARE NOT TO
EXCEED ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY
MILLION PUBLICS WORKS
CONSTRUCTION FEE OF ONE POINT
FIVE SEVEN MILLION IS PAID FROM
THE TWENTY TWENTY B BONDS AND
PROJECT FUNDS TO BE HELD BY THE
TRUSTEE APPOINTED UNDER THE
2020 B BOND DOCUMENTS AND THE
FUNDS ARE TO BE DISBURSED FROM
THE TRUSTEE UPON WRITTEN
REQUEST FROM THE SHARKS.
SHARKS APPROVE BY PUB BOTH
PUBLIC WORKS AND FINANCE. 
>> THE SHARKS INTEND TO FOLLOW
THE CITY'S.
UPDATE REQUIREMENTS WHICH
INCLUDE PRIME CONTRACTORS WILL
SIGN AND COMPLY WITH THE CITY'S
PROJECT LABOR AGREEMENT FOR THE
PROJECT.
THERE IS AN EXCEPTION FOR ICE
SHEET CONTRACTORS PUBLIC
BIDDING FOR OBTAINING AND
AWARDING CONSTRUCTION BIDS AND
ALL CONTRACTORS WILL PAY
PREVAILING WAGES AND CONDUCT
OUTREACH TO SMALL AND LOCAL
BUSINESSES FOR ALL BIDDING
OPPORTUNITIES.
>> THE ICE CENTER REVENUE FUND
THEIR BUDGET ACTIONS IN ORDER
TO FACILITATE THE ACTION SPOKEN
OF FIRST WILL REDUCE RENT
PAYMENTS FRAUD FROM THE SHARKS
BY TWO MILLION DOLLARS TO
AMOUNT.
ACCOUNT FOR THE REDUCED DEBT
SERVICE IN FISCAL YEAR 2021 AND
WILL ELIMINATE CAPITAL REPAIR
EXPENSES OF A MILLION DOLLARS
THAT WERE PREVIOUSLY ROUTED
THROUGH THE FUND. 
>> THESE EXPENSES WILL INSTEAD
BE PAID DIRECTLY BY THE SHARKS
ESTABLISH A TRANSFER TO THE
GENERAL FUND TO PAY FOR COSTS
TO ADMINISTER THE BOND PROGRAM
AND IN THE AMOUNT OF SEVENTY
FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS THAT WE
JUST MENTIONED ON THE PREVIOUS
SLIDE AND ESTABLISH AN
APPROPRIATION TO REFUND THE
SHARKS RELATED TO CAPITAL
REPAIR AND PRIOR DEBT SERVICE
SAVINGS OF ONE POINT SIX
MILLION DOLLARS AND ESTABLISH A
CAPITAL REHABILITATION RESERVE
FUND IN THE AMOUNT WHILE WITH
THE FUND AMOUNT INITIALLY WILL
BE FIVE HUNDRED EIGHTY FIVE
THOUSAND THAT WILL BE ADDED TO
OVER THE COURSE OF THE
AGREEMENT TO PAY FOR MAJOR
STRUCTURAL REPAIRS AND
REHABILITATION OF THE FACILITY
AND NOW HANDED BACK TO JULIA
AND NANCY.
>> SO AS YOU MAY RECALL WE
PRESENTED THE FEASIBILITY
REPORT FOR THE COUNCIL IN
DECEMBER AND THE WORLD KIND
OF CHANGED SIGNIFICANTLY AFTER
DECEMBER AND SO WE PROVIDED YOU
AN UPDATED INFO MEMO IN JUNE
KIND OF LOOKING AT THE
FEASIBILITY AND THE SENSITIVITY
ANALYSIS. 
SO THE CHART HERE WAS IN THE
ALSO INCLUDED THE INFO MEMO AND
IN THE STAFF REPORT WHICH SHOWS
THAT LOOKING AT THE EXPECTED
SCENARIO THAT WAS INCLUDED IN
THE FINANCIAL FEASIBILITY
REPORT AND THEN COUPLING IT
WITH A 10, 20 AND 30 PERCENT
DECLINE IN REVENUE THAT THE
SHARKS FACE RENTALS PAYMENTS
WOULD BE SUFFICIENT TO PAY THE
DEBT SERVICE ON THE TWENTY
TWENTY B BONDS AND STILL HAVE A
ONE TO ONE POINT ONE THREE
TIMES DEBT SERVICE COVERAGE IN
2027 WHICH IS AT THE POINT THAT
WE'RE AT THE STABILIZATION AND
THOSE ARE BASED ON THE
PARLIAMENTARY NUMBERS THAT WE
RECEIVED FROM OUR MUNICIPAL
ADVISOR. 
LOOKING AT THE CURRENT MARKET
COVERAGE ANALYSIS SO.
SO AS YOU CAN SEE DOWN THERE WE
LOOK AT FISCAL YEAR 27 THAT'S
THE FIRST FULL YEAR
OF STABILIZATION AND WHAT THE
ESTIMATED LEASE PAYMENTS THAT
WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THAT WE
WILL BE GETTING FROM THE SHARKS
BASED ON THE SCHEDULE THAT WE
WILL SET AFTER WE PRICE THE
BONDS AND THEN WHAT THE
ESTIMATED THAT SERVICES.
SO YOU CAN SEE THAT WE HAVE
EVEN AT A 30 PERCENT REVENUE
DECLINE MORE THAN 1 TIMES
COVERAGE AND THAT'S WHAT'S
IMPORTANT TO THE CITY. 
ADDITIONALLY WE HAVE
PROTECTIONS FOR THE CITY AS
NANCY MENTIONED.
WE HAVE A LETTER OF CREDIT IN
PLACE THAT WILL EQUAL TWO YEARS
OF DEBT SERVICE THAT WE CAN
DRAW UPON TO EXTEND THE SHARKS
DON'T MAKE THEIR BASE RENTAL
PAYMENT.
IT'S IMPORTANT TO NOTE THOUGH
THAT THERE'S TWO STEP DOWN
PROVISIONS THAT ARE PERMITTED
UNDER THE AGREEMENT THAT ALLOW
THE SHARKS TO REDUCE TO ONE
YEAR AND THEN NO YEARS.
AND THAT WOULD BE THE FIRST
THEY WOULD NEED TO ASSESS
ASSIGN AN EXTENSION TO WHAT THE
SAN JOSE ARENA MANAGEMENT TO
EXTEND OUT TO JUNE OF TWENTY
FORTY AT THE S.A.T. CENTER AND
IF THEY WERE TO DO THAT WITH NO
RIGHT OF TERMINATION, THEIR
LETTER OF CREDIT CARD JOB
DROPPED TO ONE YEAR AND THEN TO
THE EXTENT THEY MAINTAIN A DEBT
SERVICE COVERAGE RATIO OF AT
LEAST ONE AND A HALF TIMES FOR
THREE CONSECUTIVE YEARS AFTER
THE STABILIZATION PERIOD IT CAN
BE REDUCED BY ANOTHER ONE YEAR.
SO IT COULD POTENTIALLY AT SOME
POINT END UP WITH NO LETTER
OF CREDIT IN PLACE. 
HOWEVER, THE CITY WOULD HAVE
THE RIGHT TO REINSTATE THE
LETTER OF CREDIT IF THEY HAD
THREE CONSECUTIVE YEARS IN
WHICH THEY WERE NOT MAINTAINING
A ONE AND A HALF TIMES
COVERAGE.
THEY WILL ALSO MAKE RENTAL
PAYMENTS REGARDLESS
OF EPIDEMICS CIVIL UNREST OR
OTHER FORCE MAJEURE EXCEPT IN
THOSE SITUATIONS WHERE THE SIR
THE CITY EXPERIENCES AND
ABATEMENT THIS PERMITTED UNDER
THE BOND DOCUMENT.
SO IF THERE WAS SOME
CATASTROPHIC EARTHQUAKE LOSS OR
SOMETHING LIKE THAT IN WHICH WE
DIDN'T HAVE OBLIGATIONS TO MAKE
DEBT SERVICE PAYMENTS UNDER THE
BOND DOCUMENTS THEN THE SHARKS
WOULDN'T HAVE THE OBLIGATION TO
MAKE LEASE PAYMENTS TO US.
AND THEN AS NOTED IN THE
WHITE PAPER WE'RE PROCEEDING
WITH THIS FINANCING PRNS
CONSTRUCT AND THE CONSTRUCTION
DURING A RECESSIONARY PERIOD
DOES ALLOW FOR SOME ADDITIONAL
EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES IN THE
CITY.
SO THE BASE BRANCH PAYMENTS
SHARKS ON THE CITY UNDER THE
AGREEMENT OF THE SHARKS IS
REQUIRED TO USE THOSE PAYMENTS
THAT WE RECEIVE FROM THE SHARKS
TO MAKE THE PAYMENTS TO THE
AUTHORITY FOR THE BONDS.
AND THEN AS NANCY POINTED OUT,
WE'RE SETTING THE BASE RENT
PAYMENT FROM THE SHARKS TO BE
50 BASIS POINTS OR HALF A
PERCENT HIGHER THAN THE DEBT
SERVICE ON THE BONDS.
SO THAT SPREAD WILL FIRST BE TO
PAY ANY ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES
WE HAVE. 
AND THEN SECOND WILL BE
DEPOSITED INTO THIS CAPITAL
READMIT FLOTATION RESERVE
WITHIN THE ICE CENTER FUND AND
THIS IS NOT THE DEBT SERVICE
RESERVE FUND THAT'S HELD
SEPARATELY FOR PROTECTION
OF BOND HOLDERS.
THIS IS ESSENTIALLY A SAFETY
NET FOR THE CITY IN THE EVENT
THAT THERE'S SOME EXTRA
ORDINARY REPAIR WORK THAT WE'RE
OBLIGATED TO DO UNDER THE LEASE
AGREEMENT IN UNINSURED LOSSES
THAT WE HAVE A POT OF MONEY
THAT WE COULD GO TO TO HELP PAY
FOR THOSE COSTS.
SO THESE BONDS WILL BE ISSUED
ON AND THE NEXT SLIDE ON SLIDE
ELEVEN THE BOND IS NOT A
TAXABLE BASIS.
THE BONDS HAVE BEEN TAXABLE ON
THIS FACILITY FOR A NUMBER
OF YEARS SO THAT WE CAN ENTER
INTO THE TYPE OF AGREEMENT WE
HAVE SHARKS TODAY WE ESTIMATE
THAT THE INTEREST RATE WILL BE
ABOUT A THREE POINT TO SEVEN
BASED ON RATES AT THE END
OF JUNE.
AND AS WE PRESENTED AN UPDATE
TO YOU WITH THE COUNCIL
RELATIVE TO THE FEASIBILITY
STUDY KIND MIGHT OF COHORTS.
SO LOOKING AT THE DEBT SERVICE
ON THE BONDS YOU CAN SEE HERE
THAT THIS IS AFTER WE PAY THE
CONSTRUCTION PERIOD GOES
THROUGH 2022.
SO THE INTEREST TO THE
BONDHOLDERS IS PAID FROM THAT
FUNDS.
SO STARTING IN FISCAL YEAR
TWENTY THREE THE DEBT SERVICES
RAMPED UP FOR SEVERAL YEARS TO
REACH A STABILIZATION POINT. 
IT'S AFTER WE REACH THAT
STABILIZATION POINT THAT THE 50
BASIS POINT SPREAD COMES INTO
PLAY AND AND THAT THAT SPREAD
WILL BE THE SOURCE OF THE
CAPITAL REHABILITATION AND
RESERVE FUNDING SO THAT SOURCES
AND USES HERE WE PLAN TO ISSUE
ABOUT ONE HUNDRED AND FORTY
SEVEN MILLION DOLLARS WORTH
OF BONDS.
AS NOTED THE TWO THOUSAND EE
BONDS ARE STILL OUTSTANDING SO
THEY'LL BE A CONTRIBUTE OF CASH
FROM THAT RESERVE FUND OF ABOUT
TWO POINT EIGHT MILLION SO WE
HAVE A TOTAL SOURCES OF ONE
HUNDRED AND FIFTY MILLION
DOLLARS WHICH WILL BE USED TO
FUND THE 120 MILLION DOLLAR
PROJECT FUND AND REDEEMING THE
2008 BONDS ELEVEN ELEVEN POINT
TWO MILLION APPROXIMATELY WILL
FUND INTEREST DURING THE
CONSTRUCTION PERIOD WHICH IS
ABOUT 9 MILLION FUND THEIR DEBT
SERVICE RESERVE FUND AND PAPER
COST ADDITIONAL. 
>> SO THE LEASE PAYMENTS ARE
MADE BY THE CITY TO THE
AUTHORITY AND THEY'RE THE
SOURCE.
THEY'RE THE SOLE SOURCE
OF CREDIT.
THE BASE RENTAL PAYMENTS BY THE
SHARKS ARE USED BY THE CITY TO
MAKE THESE PAYMENTS BUT THEY
ARE NOT PLEDGED TO BONDHOLDERS.
SO THIS ISN'T A PROJECT
FINANCING IT'S A GENERAL FUND
OBLIGATION JUST STRUCTURE JUST
LIKE THE CITY HALL BONDS WE
HAVE WE'LL HOWEVER HAVE A
RESERVE FUNDED DEBT SERVICE
RESERVE ACCOUNT WHICH WILL HAVE
APPROXIMATELY 8 MILLION DOLLARS
IN IT AND IT WILL BE USED TO
MAKE DEBT SERVICE PAYMENTS IN
THE EVENTS A DEFICIENCY THESE
PAYMENTS FROM THE CITY TO THE
AUTHORITY OF THE SOURCE
OF PAYMENTS.
ANY LEGALLY AVAILABLE FUNDS
OF THE CITY AND WERE SUBJECT TO
ANY KIND OF ABATEMENT.
SO TO THE EXTENT THERE
CATASTROPHIC LOSS WE WOULDN'T
BE OBLIGATED TO MAKE DEBT
SERVICE PAYMENTS DURING THAT
PERIOD OF TIME BEFORE YOU TODAY
AS APPROVAL OF THE BOND AND
LEGAL DOCUMENTS FOR THE TWO
THOUSAND EIGHT BE BOMBS BY THE
CITY AND THE AUTHORITY THERE
ARE BASICALLY SIMILAR DOCUMENTS
WHAT'S BEING WAS APPROVED
EARLIER FOR THE CITY FOR THE
CITY HALL REFUNDING AND THEN
ALSO PURSUANT TO THE GOVERNMENT
CODE ATTACHED TO THE
RESOLUTION.
ART IS INFORMATION REGARDING
THAT TRUE THE ESTIMATED TRUE
INTEREST COST ON THE BONDS
WHICH TODAY WE ESTIMATE ABOUT
THREE POINT TO SEVEN PERCENT.
THE FINANCE CHARGE FOR THE
BONDS.
THAT'S KIND OF THE COST
OF ISSUANCE IS ONE POINT SEVEN
MILLION AND THEN HOW MUCH
OF THE PROCEEDS THAT WILL
RECEIVE ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY
EIGHT POINT FOUR MILLION AND
THEN TOTALED THAT SERVICE AND
INTEREST OVER THE COURSE OF THE
BONDS ABOUT TWO HUNDRED AND
THIRTY EIGHT DOLLARS.
SO THE FINANCING SCHEDULE HAS
US THIS TRANSACTION WILL FOLLOW
ON THE HEELS OF THE CITY HALL
REFUNDING WHICH WILL COME
FIRST.
WE PLAN TO ISSUE THE RELEASE
THE FEEL AS TO INVESTORS ON
SEPTEMBER 16TH PRICE THE BONDS
THE FOLLOWING WEEK ON THE
TWENTY THIRD AND CLOSE THE
TRANSACTION ON OCTOBER 7.
SO THERE'S SEVERAL ACTIONS
TODAY. 
THIS NEED TO HOLD A PUBLIC
HEARING FOR THESE BONDS.
WE DID NOTICE TWO SEPARATE
PUBLIC HEARINGS.
SO THIS IS THE SECOND ONE FOR
THE ICE CENTER AND THE COUNCIL
TO ADOPT A RESOLUTION APPROVING
THE FINANCING AND THE SALE
OF UP TO ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY
MILLION DOLLARS OF BONDS
APPROVING ALL OF THE LEGAL
DOCUMENTS. 
ADDITIONALLY, THE AUTHORITY
APPROVING THE ISSUANCE OF THE
BONDS AND APPROVING AND
AUTHORIZING THE EXECUTION THE
LEGAL DOCUMENTS AND THEN THE
COUNCIL WILL ALSO TAKE EXCUSE
ME ACTIONS AUTHORIZING THE CITY
MANAGER TO NEGOTIATE AND
EXECUTE THE SECOND AN AMENDED
AND RESTATED AGREEMENT WITH THE
SHARKS.
AND THE FOURTH EXPANSION
AGREEMENT WITH THE SHARKS AS
WELL AS ANY OTHER DOCUMENTS.
THOSE DOCUMENTS WILL BE
EXECUTED CONCURRENTLY WITH THE
CLOSE OF THE BOND ISSUE SINCE
WE NEED TO SET THE BASE RENT
BASED ON THE PRICE OF THE
INTEREST AND THE DEBT SERVICE
SCHEDULE WE HAVE ON THE BONDS
AND THEN TO ADOPT APPROPRIATION
ORDINANCE AND FUNDING SOURCE
RESOLUTION AMENDMENTS TO
ESSENTIALLY CLEAN UP THE ICE
CENTER FUND TO TAKE INTO
ACCOUNT THE NEW AGREEMENT THAT
SOME PLACE.
SO WITH THAT WE'RE AVAILABLE
ANSWERING QUESTIONS. 
>> WE'RE GONNA OPEN THE PUBLIC
HEARING AT THIS TIME.
>> AND A PUBLIC HEARING WILL
HEAR FROM THE PERSON WITH A
PHONE NUMBER ENDING 6 2 6 2. 
>> THIS IS REGARDING THE BOND
ISSUANCE FOR THE CENTER PROJECT
BY THE CITY STANDS A FINANCING
AUTHORITY FOR TAXABLE LEASE
REVENUE BONDS SERIES 2020 B
THANK YOU.
AND LAND COUNCIL SEATS ROLL
INTO ONE LOUISIANA I MY HAND.
THEY SAID INITIALLY I DID NOT
UNDERSTAND THIS.
THIS WAS THE DIEP AND THE
REASON I DID NOT IS BECAUSE
THIS ITEM I COULDN'T EVEN FIND
IT ON THE AGENDA UNTIL MY
COUNCIL MEMBER HELPED ME OUT
AND THE PRESENTATION.
I'M NOT DOWN DAY SO NOW THAT I
KNOW THAT THE DIEP CENTER YES
I'M TOTALLY COMFORTABLE WITH
WHAT'S. 
THE THING I DO WANT TO TALK TO
YOU ABOUT IS THE ARENA MOVING
FORWARD IS 20 YEARS OLD AND WE
KNOW IT'S PROBABLY GOT 10 YEARS
LEFT AND RATHER THAN INVESTING
MORE MONEY IN THE ARENA WHICH I
UNDERSTAND YOU'RE NOT DOING
RIGHT NOW.
I WOULD REALLY LIKE THE COUNCIL
TO PROVIDE DIRECTION TO STAFF
TO RELOCATE THE TO THE ARENA
POSSIBLY NEXT DOOR.
ALL ALL EVEN AT VARIOUS
STADIUM.
AND ONCE WE DO THAT WE'RE GOING
TO HAVE A LONG TERM SOLUTION TO
THESE MASSIVE PARKING DEMANDS
WE'RE GETTING FROM THE SHARKS
IDEALISM WHICH QUITE FRANKLY
WE'RE NO LONGER ABLE TO
ACCOMMODATE.
THERE'S A KIND DEVELOPMENT WE
CAN HAVE DOWN THERE.
THANK YOU. 
>> THANK YOU.
JAY GUSTAFSSON, CAN YOU GUYS
HEAR ME?
>> YES.
LICCARDO CAN'T REMEMBER AS FAR
AS I COUNCIL MEMBERS JOHN
GUSTAFSON SPEAKING ON BEHALF
OF SHARK SPORTS ENTERTAINMENT. 
AS YOU KNOW THERE'S BOND
FINANCING APPROVAL IS THE LAST
IMPORTANT STEP NEEDED TO MAKE
SHARK SIZED EXPANSION A
REALITY.
WE WANT THE FINANCE DEPARTMENT,
THE OED AND THE MANAGER'S
OFFICE FOR THEIR HARD WORK AND
DILIGENCE AND BRINGS FORWARD
SUCH A COMPREHENSIVE PACKAGE
FOR YOU TO REVIEW TODAY.
AS I'VE SAID BEFORE, SHARK SIZE
IS AN INCREDIBLE COMMUNITY
ASSET WHICH IS PAID FOR ITSELF
AND MORE FOR TWO DECADES
WITHOUT RISK TO THE CITY.
THE EXPANSION WILL MAKE EVEN
BETTER.
IT WILL HELP CREATE IMPORTANT
CONSTRUCTION JOBS TO SUPPORT
LOCAL ECONOMIC RECOVERY AS THE
COVE IN 19 CHALLENGES
CONTINUES.
THE NEW BOND PACKAGE HAS EVEN
MORE FINANCIAL PROTECTIONS FOR
THE CITY.
FULLY PRESSURE TESTED FOR THE
UNTHINKABLE COVE IN 19
SITUATION.
THE EXPANSION WILL ALLOW US TO
SUPPORT OVER 2 MILLION VISITORS
PER YEAR AND BECOME THE PREMIER
FACILITY IN NORTH AMERICA
OPERATING 24/7 THREE SIXTY FIVE
WILL ALSO ADD 50 PERCENT MORE
ICE INVENTORY WHICH WILL ALLOW
US TO GROW CURRENT PROGRAMING
AS WELL AS NEW EXCITING OPTIONS
FOR OUR LOCAL COMMUNITY AND OUR
CUSTOMERS.
THE PROJECT WILL ALLOW US TO
EXPAND OUR ABILITY TO ATTRACT
NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL
EVENTS WHICH WILL FURTHER OUR
CONTRIBUTION TO ECONOMIC
DEVELOPMENT BY GENERATING TLT
THROUGH HOTEL BOOKINGS WHEN
LARGE EVENTS CAN RESTART. 
AND FINALLY THE FACILITY WILL
BE THE CORNERSTONE TO THE
RAPIDLY DEVELOPING SOUTH CAMPUS
AREA.
THE GIANTS ALL THE AMAZING
UPGRADE AS A STATE IS DOING
HAPPY HOLLOW HISTORY PART AND
NOW HAVING A NEW HOME FOR HL
TEAM THE WAS A BARRACUDA
BULLYING HOUSE WAS HAPPENING IN
OUR NEIGHBORHOOD.

PERSON WITH THE PHONE NUMBER
ENDING 5 1 4 0 YOUR YOUR PHONE
APPEARS TO BE MUTED.
>> YEAH I FIND IT ODD THERE'S
NOT ENOUGH PARKING FOR ALL
THESE THINGS THAT EVERYBODY
WANTS TO DO.
>> I HOPE THAT THESE TICKETS
THAT YOU'RE GOING TO GET FROM
THE SHARKS MIGHT BE RAFFLED OFF
FOR MORE MONEY OR GIVEN THIS
PHYSICIAN TO DO GOOD THINGS
VERSUS HOST PARK PRIVATE
PARTIES FOR YOURSELF AND THE
CITY COUNCIL.
>> ALSO HOPING THAT YOU COULD
PROMOTE HAVING AN ITALIAN
AMERICAN HERITAGE NIGHT SINCE
YOU GUYS GOT RID OF THE
COLUMBUS STATUE THAT WAS ONE
OF THE THINGS THAT KILLED SAM
PROMISE THAT COULD THERE BE
SOME KIND OF ITALIAN AMERICAN
HERITAGE WEEK IF SOMETHING
HAPPENED DURING A SHARK GAME?
ITALIAN AMERICANS ARE BEING
FORGOTTEN ABOUT BEING REPLACED
PEOPLE THAT I'M NOT INTO. 
>> BUT MY OWN MY OWN GROUP
OF PEOPLE IS BEING DIS DAMAGED
AND STATUES PLAQUES TAKEN DOWN
.
BUT MEANWHILE WE'VE GOT LBJ.
Q ALL THESE OTHER AGAIN
POLITICAL GROUPS.
WHAT ABOUT MINE? 
I'M JUST HOPING THAT MAYBE YOU
GUYS THINK A LITTLE BIT
DIFFERENTLY WHEN YOU'RE GOING
TO BE INVOLVED WITH SOUND OF A
SHARK. 
DO I SPEAK ON THAT THING?
>> YEAH, I JUST THOUGHT I'D
BRING THAT UP.
I MEAN I KNOW YOU GUYS DON'T
LIKE IT.
THAT'S WHY I TALK. 
>> NO, SIR.
>> YEAH.
YEAH.
UGLY ON THE ITEM ON THE AGENDA.
OK, BRAD, THANK YOU.
AND THEY ARE THE CREW AND
CITIZENS.
I CAN APPRECIATE YOU ALL
PROCEEDING AS IF THINGS WERE
GOING TO BE NORMAL.
HOPEFULLY THINGS WILL GET BACK
TO SOME NORMALCY IN THE NEXT
FOUR OR FIVE YEARS.
BUT I THINK YOU ALSO HAVE TO
HAVE IN THE BACK OF YOUR MIND
OF WHETHER OR NOT YOU'RE EVEN
GOING TO BE ABLE TO SUSTAIN A
PROFESSIONAL SPORTS TEAM.
YOU HAVE RESTAURANTS CLOSING
DOWNTOWN PROBABLY FOR GOOD.
AND AGAIN, I GUESS I CAN
APPRECIATE YOU PROCEEDING AS IF
NOTHING IS WRONG BUT IT'S
ALMOST AKIN RAISING THE THE
DESK THE DECK CHAIRS ON THE
TITANIC.
I GUESS THE OLD SAYING IS
BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE ANY IDEA
WHAT THE FUTURE RAM VACATIONS
ARE WITH THIS COVID 19.
AND I FEAR THAT THE CITY IS NOT
GOING TO BE PREPARED FOR THAT.
BECAUSE YOU'RE JUST PROCEEDING
AS IF THINGS ARE GOING TO BE
NORMALIZE GOING FORWARD.
SO AGAIN, THANK YOU FOR
ALLOWING TO SPEAK AND I
APPRECIATE ALL THE WORK YOU ALL
DO.
STAY SAFE AND HEALTHY.
THANK YOU.
SURE.
I RETURN IT.
COUNCIL CUSTOMER RESPONDS THANK
YOU, MAYOR.
>> I JUST WANTED TO QUICK
QUESTION FOR NANCY.
THE 20 COMPLIMENTARY SEATS
ACTUALLY GOES TO THE COMMUNITY
NOT FOR PRIVATE COUNCIL MEMBER
PARTIES.
THAT IS PRO-RATED CORRECT. 
THE COUNCIL MEMBER WHEN USE
MENTIONED PRO-RATED IT'S FOR
THE BARRACUDA GAMES, RIGHT?
>> PLENTY.
THAT'S HOW YOU ARRIVED AT 20.
BASED ON THE ORIGINAL ARENA
AGREEMENT, IS THAT RIGHT?
YES.
IT'S PROPORTIONAL.
>> IT'S ACTUALLY A BIGGER
PROPORTION THAN THE BOX OR
OTHER SEATS ARE IN THE FULL
FIFTEEN THOUSAND PLUS ARENA.
>> THANK YOU. 
SO I'D LIKE TO THANK YOU ALL
OF CITY STAFF.
I KNOW THAT'S A BIG PART OF YOU
.
DNC AND MCCAIN I THINK IS ON
THIS CALL JULIA AND THE WHOLE
TEAM THAT HAS BEEN WORKING ON
THIS TO CONDUCT A THOROUGH
EVALUATION OF THIS PROJECT. 
IN FACT WHEN COVID HIT THE CITY
YOU DID THE RESPONSIBLE THING
AND TOOK SOME MORE TIME TO
REALLY LOOK AT THE FINANCES, 
WHAT IT MEANS TO OUR CITY AND
THROUGH THIS EVALUATION
PROJECTS HAS BEEN SHOWN TO
BENEFIT THE AREA OBVIOUSLY BUT
THE CITY AS A WHOLE.
AND ALTHOUGH IT'S NOT KNOWN TO
MANY.
THE ICE CENTER IS THE LARGEST
RINK FACILITY WEST OF THE
MISSISSIPPI AND EVEN WITH ITS
SIZE.
>> THE ICE CENTER HAS REACHED
ITS CAPACITY AND ACTUALLY HAS
TO TURN PEOPLE AWAY.
>> EVEN DURING THE SHELTER IN
PLACE, THE ICE CENTER HAS BEEN
EXPERIENCING AN INCREDIBLE
DEMAND FOR ICE TIME AND
CURRENTLY HAS FOUR HUNDRED
HOCKEY PLAYERS IN SUMMER CAMP
AND THEY'RE MASSED UP FOR ALL
THAT KIND OF ALL THAT GOOD
STUFF. 
>> BUT IN ADDITION TO LOCAL
DEMAND, THE SHARKS HAVE SECURED
LARGE SCALE EVENTS TO HAPPEN
POST PANDEMIC THAT WILL BRING
THOUSANDS OF VISITORS TO
SAN JOSE WHO WILL STAY IN OUR
HOTELS AND PATRONIZE OUR
BUSINESSES AND ACCORDING TO THE
ECONOMIC AND FISCAL IMPACT
ANALYSIS, THIS EXPANSION WILL
BRING IN OVER THREE HUNDRED AND
TWENTY MILLION DOLLARS IN TAXES
IN ADDITION TO THE CURRENT
TAXES GENERATED BY THE EXISTING
FACILITY.
>> AND WHILE WE CAN RECOGNIZE
THAT THE NEED IS THERE AS WELL
AS THE ECONOMIC BENEFITS THIS
WILL HAVE FOR THE CITY.
THE SHARKS HAVE APPROVED
ENTERING AN AGREEMENT WHICH
PROVIDES MORE THAN ADEQUATE
FISCAL PROTECTION FOR THE CITY.
THEY WILL ENSURE THAT THE
CITY'S COSTS WILL BE COVID AND
THAT IT IS NOT A BURDEN ON THE
CITY'S GENERAL FUND. 
>> AND SO WITH A CORPORATE
GUARANTEE FROM SHARK SPORTS AND
ENTERTAINMENT THE PARENT
COMPANY OF SHARKS ICE ALL
MONETARY OBLIGATIONS UNDER THE
ICE CENTER LEASE A LETTER
OF CREDIT AND FAVORITE CITY
EQUAL TWO YEARS OF THE MAXIMUM
ANNUAL DEBT SERVICE ON THE
BONDS AND THE AGREEMENT THE
RENT PAYMENT WOULD BE PAID
REGARDLESS OF A FORCE MAJEURE
EVENT.
>> THE ICE CENTER EXPANSION
PROJECT IS A GOOD BET FOR OUR
CITY BRINGS JOBS AND LONG TERM
ECONOMICS.
BENEFIT TO OUR CITY.
IT WILL FURTHER REVIVE LIES THE
AREA I KNOW SOME FOLKS CALL IT
S UNIVERSE S 10TH STREET BUT I
LIKE TO CALL IT CENTRAL ROAD
DISTRICT 7.
WHAT IS THE AREA?
IT'S A CENTER OF FAMILY
FRIENDLY ACTIVITIES BETWEEN
HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO HISTORY PART
THE GIANTS AND THE EVENTS THAT
WILL BE HAPPENING IN SHARKS
EYES.
SO MANY FAMILIES MAY NOT BE
ABLE TO AFFORD THE SHARKS GAME
WITH THE BARRACUDA GAME LIKE
THE SAN JOSE GIANTS ARE
AFFORDABLE ENTERTAINMENT FOR
OUR FAMILIES AND IS A BENEFIT
TO OUR CITY.
>> SO WE FIGHT. 
I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO
APPROVE.
>> I THINK EMOTION FROM
CUSTOMER RESPONSE IN FROM
KHAMIS. 
>> THANK YOU MAYOR. 
AND SINCE I WAS THE PERSON WHO
ASKED FOR A STRESS REPORT OR WE
LOOKED AT THE KIND OF A WORST
CASE SCENARIO I WANTED TO ASK
YOU FIRST I WANTED TO
CONGRATULATE NANCY ON HER NEW
ROLE OR TITLE.
>> CONGRATULATIONS ON THAT, 
NANCY.
AND SO TO GO BACK TO THE
QUESTION WE HAD.
>> YOU KNOW YOU HAVE A 10, 20,
30 PERCENT DECREASE.
>> WHAT ARE WE LOOKING
AT TODAY?
>> IS IT?
IS IT?
YOU KNOW WHAT KIND OF REVENUE
DECREASES ARE WE LOOKING AT A
CHART SIZE TODAY? 
>> WELL, I MEAN THAT SHARKS
CONTINUE TO MAKE THEIR THEIR
LEASE PAYMENTS TO US.
AND SO WE DON'T WE DON'T
MONITOR THEIR REVENUE.
SO WHAT THEY DO IS THEY PROVIDE
US THEY MAKE THEIR QUARTERLY
LEASE PAYMENT.
I MEAN I THINK JOHN WAS
AVAILABLE TO ANSWER ANY
QUESTIONS THAT MIGHT OCCUR.
BUT I THEY DID EXPERIENCE SOME
REVENUE LOSS.
AND SO OBVIOUSLY WE'VE BEING
CLOSED BUT THEY NEVER MISSED A
DEBT SO THEY NEVER MISSED A
BASE RENTAL PAYMENT AND NEVER
HAVE MISSED A PAYMENT IN MY
ENTIRE TIME THAT THEY'VE BEEN
OPERATING FACILITY FOR OVER 20
YEARS.
WELL, I APPRECIATE I APPRECIATE
THAT AND I APPRECIATE THE FACT
THAT WE HAVE SOME LANGUAGE IN
THERE THAT THAT DESPITE DESPITE
THE EPIDEMIC THAT WE HAVE SOME
GUARANTEES GOING FORWARD AS TO
THE PAYMENTS THAT ARE GOING TO
BE MADE.
>> YOU KNOW, I'M ONE OF THE
MOST I WOULD SAY RISK AVERSE
PEOPLE AS FAR AS GETTING THE
CITY INTO DEBT.
BUT I THINK THIS IS A GOOD
INVESTMENT AND I APPRECIATE THE
HARD WORK OF JULIA AND NANCY
AND THE FOLKS ON YOUR TEAMS TO
GET THIS ACROSS THE FINISH LINE
AND.
AND THANK YOU FOR THE REPORT AS
WELL.
>> ALWAYS GOOD TO KNOW THAT THE
GOOD CASE AND WORST CASE
SCENARIOS.
>> AGAIN, THANK YOU.
AND I'M SAYING TO MY COMMENTS
THANK YOU. 
I SUPPORT THIS PROJECT.
I JUST HAD A COUPLE
OF QUESTIONS I WANT MAKE SURE
WE CLARIFY IN PART OF THE THIS
ONE I THINK IS REALLY JUST SO
WE ALL HAVE OUR EYES WIDE OPEN
AS WE FORWARD ON THIS AS I HOPE
WE DO.
>> IF YOU KNOW, GIVEN THE
SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT INVESTMENT
WE'RE MAKING HERE, WE KNOW LOTS
OF THINGS HAPPEN IN 2020 PROVEN
THAT LOTS OF THINGS HAPPEN THAT
AREN'T EXPECTED. 
EARTHQUAKE IS SOMETHING FOR
EXAMPLE THAT WE KNOW IS GOING
TO HAPPEN SOONER OR LATER HERE
IN THE NEXT FEW DECADES. 
AND IF WE BUILD SOMETHING AND
THERE'S AN EARTHQUAKE, I GUESS
IT'S IMPORTANT FOR US JUST TO
UNDERSTAND WHAT OUR OBLIGATIONS
ARE IN A BUILDING THAT COULD NO
LONGER BE USED AFTER A DISASTER
SUCH AS A FLUTTER EARTHQUAKE.
WHO PAYS WHAT AND WHO'S STILL
OBLIGATED TO HELP US WITH THAT?
OR JULIA? 
>> SO WE WILL HAVE PROPERTY
INSURANCE ON THAT FACILITY THAT
MORE UNLIKELY HAVE EARTHQUAKE
INSURANCE BECAUSE IT'S COST
PROHIBITIVE. 
>> MATT CAN ADDRESS THE
CONSTRUCTION STANDARDS WITH
RESPECT TO BUILD BUT TO THE
EXTENT THAT THERE'S A
CATASTROPHIC LOSS IN WHICH
NOBODY CAN USE THAT FACILITY.
SO THAT'S WHAT'S CALLED
BENEFICIAL USE AND OCCUPANCY.
THE CITY WOULDN'T HAVE AN WOULD
BE HAVING IT BE IN A PERIOD
OF ABATEMENT SO WE WOULD HAVE
TO US WE WOULDN'T BE OBLIGATED
TO MAKE THAT SERVICE PAYMENTS
DURING THAT PERIOD OF TIME
UNTIL WE REHABILITATED THAT
FACILITY.
SO ONE OF THE REASONS WHY WE'RE
CREATING THIS CAPITAL RESERVE
IS TO HELP PAY FOR ANY OF THOSE
YOU KNOW, AN EVENT IN WHICH THE
CITY IS OBLIGATED TO MAKE A
REPAIR.
IT'S WHAT WE CALL AN
EXTRAORDINARY LOSS AND WE
REALLY ONLY SEE THOSE HAPPENING
IN IT LIKE A CATASTROPHIC
EARTHQUAKE AND WE WOULD HAVE TO
BE PRETTY CATASTROPHIC.
I SEE MATT DOGS SO WE CAN
PROBABLY TALK ABOUT
CONSTRUCTION STANDARDS IN WHICH
THE BUILDINGS CONSTRUCTED. 
>> THANKS, JULIA.
MATT, CAN DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC OR
TENANT REALLY HAVE A LOT TO ADD
OTHER THAN WE ARE DEFINITELY
HAVING OUR OWN PUBLIC WORKS
ENGINEERS AND INSPECTORS REVIEW
AND INSPECT EVERYTHING THAT'S
BEING BUILT TO THE APPROPRIATE
STANDARDS, RIGHT?
>> UNDERSTOOD.
I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE WE'RE
ALL CLEAR THAT THIS IS A
FINANCIAL RISK IN THIS WAY
SUPPORT GOING FORWARD.
BUT I JUST THINK IT'S IMPORTANT
THAT WE SHARED THE RISK. 
I KNOW IT'S CERTAINLY IMPLICIT
MANY OF THE REPORTS BUT THESE
ARE THE KINDS OF RISKS THAT WE
FRANKLY SELF-INSURED FOR
BECAUSE OF THE COST OF QUICK
ENSURE AMPLE AND THERE IS A
VERY CLEAR STATEMENT IN CAPS
AND BOLD.
>> PAGE OF THE REPORT. 
IT SAYS THE OBLIGATION TO MAKE
THESE PAYMENTS THAT WOULD BE
USED TO PAY DEBT SERVICE ON THE
BONDS BE SOLD RESPONSIBLY.
THE CITY NEITHER THE PAYMENTS
FROM THE SHARKS NOR THE LETTER
OF CREDIT WILL BE PLEDGES
SECURITY FORCES LEASE PAYMENTS
OR PAYMENT OF DEBT SERVICE ON
THE BONDS.
AND JUST TO UNDERSTAND FULLY,
IS THERE A REASON WHY WE
WOULDN'T USE, FOR EXAMPLE,
PAYMENTS FROM THE SHARKS AS A
PLEDGE AS A PLEDGE OF SECURITY?
BECAUSE THEN IT BECOMES A
PROJECT FINANCING AND A PROJECT
FINANCING ESSENTIALLY WOULD
REQUIRE MUCH HIGHER COVERAGE
THAN ME REQUIRING FROM THE FOX
SHARKS AND RESULTED MUCH HIGHER
INTEREST RATE ESTATE WHICH
WOULD ESSENTIALLY MAKE THE
PROJECT KIND OF INVISIBLE.
AND IN THE EVENT THAT SOMETHING
FELL APART AND THE SHARKS
WEREN'T MAKING PAYMENTS, THE
CITY LIKELY WOULD STEP IN
ANYWAYS TO MAKE THOSE PAYMENTS
BECAUSE WE WOULDN'T WANT OUR
BOND TO BE IMPACTED.
SO IF ULTIMATELY WE KIND
OF WOULD BE IN THAT SPOT LET'S
TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE VERY
BEGINNING OF THE FRONT END
OF THE TRANSACTION TO ENSURE
THAT WE HAVE THE LOWEST COST
OF FUNDS POSSIBLE FOR THE
FINANCING GOING TO INCREASE OUR
DEBT COVERAGE RATIO THAT WE THE
COST AND WE WOULD ALSO INCREASE
IN THE INTEREST. 
>> ALL RIGHT.
YES.
YES, IT WOULD BE A VERY
DIFFICULT FINANCING TO DO ON A
PROJECT REVENUE BASIS.
UNDERSTANDABLY IMPOSSIBLE.
WELL BEING ON THE HOOK.
SO WHEN. 
WELL, I MEAN I THINK I THINK
AGREEMENT WITH THE SHARKS PUTS
A LOT OF PROTECTIONS IN PLACE
FOR THE CITY WITH THE LETTER
OF CREDIT, THE FOREST MEASURE,
THE GUARANTEE THAT THE SHARKS
ORGANIZATION.
I MEAN THERE'S THERE'S A LOT
OF PROTECTION TO THE CITY
BEFORE WE WOULD YOU KNOW, WE
DID ESSENTIALLY WE LOOKING TO
STEP IN OUR OWN GENERAL FUND
DOLLARS MORE SO THAN ANY OTHER
MORE THAN WE EVER HAD ON THE
HAYES MANSION AND CERTAINLY
ANYTHING WE EVER HAD ON THE
GOLF COURSES IN TERMS OF USING
IT FROM A COMPARISON
PERSPECTIVE. 
THANK YOU.
GREAT.
>> IT THE CONSTRUCTION COST.
I UNDERSTAND THERE'S A CAP 120
MILLION DOLLARS NOT TO EXCEED.
NO.
AND COULD YOU REMIND US WHAT WE
EXPECT THE COST TO BE? 
>> ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY
MILLION DIVES FOR THE SHARKS
ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY COST
OVERRUNS. 
OKAY.
>> SO I'M SORRY WE ARE NOT TO
EXCEED.
NO, THAT'S ACTUALLY EQUAL TO
THE ANTICIPATED COST.
>> I MEAN  NOT US.
NO.
THIS IS 114 MILLION JOHN LENNON
CONSTRUCTION CREATED .
SO THAT'S OUR LATEST ESTIMATE
WHAT WE THINK OF THE
POSSIBILITY OF MORE RINGS TO
GET TO OK. 
AND THEN THE SHARKS WOULD THEN
BE ON THE HOOK FOR ANYTHING
THAT WENT OVER THAT 20 MILLION.
OK, THAT'S UNITING IT IN BY THE
WAY, NANCY, I ACTUALLY
OFFICIAL.
>> SO CONGRATULATIONS.
FORGIVE ME FOR NOT MINDING THE
ANNOUNCEMENTS.
THAT'S WONDERFUL NEWS.
THANK YOU.
WELL DESERVED.
>> AND THEN FINALLY THE ONE
POINT SIX MILLION DOLLAR
REFUNDING THAT WE'RE DOING FOR
RENT PAYMENTS AND CAP REPAIR.
CAN YOU JUST EXPLAIN HOW THAT
MATERIALIZED?
WHAT DID YOU WHAT WERE THE
SHARKS PAYING FOR OR IN WHAT
CONTEXT?
>> JIM JUST DONE.
I SEE.
JIM YEAH. 
HI.
HI, FOLKS.
JIM GERAGHTY, CITY'S BUDGET
DIRECTOR SO THESE PAYMENTS ARE
BASICALLY A RE REPAYMENT
OF PREVIOUS PAYMENTS THAT THE
SHARKS HAVE PAID IN PRIOR
YEARS.
SO UNDER THE OLD AGREEMENT THE
RENT THE SHARKS PAID US WAS
COMPRISED OF THE BEAR THE DEBTS
THAT WAS OWED AND THAT
PARTICULAR YEAR PLUS ANY
CAPITAL RE RE REHABILITATION IS
THAT THEY WERE APPROVED BY BOTH
THE CITY AND THE ARENA
AUTHORITY.
HOW IT USED TO WORK WAS THAT
THE CITY AND AREA AUTHORITY
APPROVED THE CAPITAL REPAIRS
THE SHARKS WOULD PAY FOR THE
COST OF THE REPAIRS SEND THE
MONEY TO THE CITY AND THEN THE
CITY WITHIN VERY VERIFY THAT
THE REPAIRS HAPPEN. 
SEND THE CHECK BACK TO THE
SHARKS THERE.
SO IT WAS A LITTLE BIT OF A
CONVOLUTED PROCESS.
AND SO ONE OF THE ONE OF THE
STREAMLINING WANTED TO DO WITH
THIS AGREEMENT WAS MAINTAINING
OVERSIGHT FOR WHAT APPEARS GET
APPROVED BUT THE FUTURE CAPITAL
PAYMENTS WILL BE MADE BY THE
SHARKS DIRECTLY WITHOUT HAVING
TO SORT OF FILTER THROUGH THE
CITY FUNDS.
AND SO THE THIS PAYMENT HERE TO
SORT OF REIMBURSE THE SHARKS
FOR PAST PAYMENTS MADE US
THAT'S NO LONGER NEEDED.
>> OKAY, GREAT. 
THANKS, JIM.
THANKS EVERYBODY FOR YOUR HARD
WORK ON THIS.
BEFORE SEEING IT ALL UNDER
CONSTRUCTION.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? 
ALL RIGHT.
THE MOTION FROM COUNCILOR
ESPARZA CONCERNS PASSES THAT A
MOTION TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC
FIRST.
>> YES, MAYORAL MAKE MUST CLOSE
THE PUBLIC. 
>> IS THERE A SECOND TO THAT
MOTION? 
OKAY.
YES, OK.
LET'S VOTE ON THAT.
TONI, LET ME SEE YOUR SCREEN
MANNERS.
>> YES, PERALEZ. 
>> DIEP.
ALL RIGHT.
CARRASCO I DAVIS I ESPARZA. 
YES.
BERENICE. 
YES.
>> BULLY FULLY. 
YES.
YES.
KENNETH YES. 
JONES YES.
LICCARDO YES.
OK.
>> NOW I MEAN THE ACTUAL
APPROVAL OF THE ITEM COUNCIL AS
FAR AS I HAD A MOTION I BELIEVE
ALREADY THAT RIGHT.
COUNCILMEMBER YES.
>> OK.
>> OK.
IT WASN'T A SECOND BEFORE WE
GOT ANOTHER ONE NOW.
A SECOND OK.
GREAT.
LET'S GO.
>> AND THEN IS THIS PERALEZ? 
DIEP.
BOSCO I. 
>> I ESPARZA.
YES.
BERENICE I FULLY I.
MS.
I DON'T BUY LICCARDO. 
>> THANK YOU.
>> THANK YOU. 
PRETTY POINT FOR THIS PUBLIC
HEARING ON THE GRAPH FRANCHISE
TO HUMMINGBIRD ENERGY STORAGE
LLC FOR ELECTRIC SERVICES.
I DON'T BELIEVE THERE IS A
PRESENTATION ON THIS IS THERE?
OK SO WE'LL GO TO PUBLIC
COMMENT NOW.
COMMENT WILL BE ON ITEM THREE
POINT FOUR WHICH IS A PUBLIC
HEARING ON THE GRANT
OF FRANCHISE TO HUMMINGBIRD
ENERGY STORAGE LLC PIGMENT. 
>> HI.
THANK YOU.
JUST DONE MUTED I MEAN LOOK
FROM MY GET TO MY SPEECH HERE.
THANK YOU.
WITH THAT ENTRY POINT FOR TODAY
ALONG WITH ITEM SIX POINT ONE
WHICH IS ENERGY DEALS FOR FIVE
HUNDRED PLUS MILLION OVER THE
NEXT 10 YEARS IT IS NICE TO
NOTE THE CITY OF SAN JOSE HAS
HAD LOCAL COMMUNITY ENERGY
ITEMS ON THEIR COUNCIL
COMMITTEE AGENDAS FOR
AT LEAST THE PAST THREE WEEKS
IN A ROW NOW.
THANK TO NOTE EAST BAY ENERGY
COMMUNITY ENERGY ABC WILL BE
RETURNING TO ITS FOUR PLUS
PUBLIC MEETINGS A MONTH THIS
SEPTEMBER.
SAN JOSE HAS BEEN SLOWLY
BUILDING SMALL EFFICIENT
CORPORATE EYES EXAMPLES WITH
LOCAL COMMUNITY ENERGY IDEAS
HUMMINGBIRD EYED ENERGY AND ITS
CONNECTIONS WITH WITH PG&E
MAYBE A GOOD EXAMPLE OF FUTURE
LOCAL NEIGHBORHOOD MICRO GRIDS
BUT THE IMPORTANCE OF WHY NOT
CALIFORNIA A LOCAL COMMUNITY
ENERGY AND IDEAS WAS CREATED IN
THE FIRST PLACE WAS A SPECIFIC
SPECIFICALLY MEANT TO ASK HOW
TO BREAK AWAY FROM PG&E AND
OTHER LARGE CORPORATE ENERGY
STRUCTURES. 
DOES THE CURRENT MAYOR AND DOES
THE COMMUNITY OF SANTA Zé WANT
TO BEGIN TO CONSIDER HOW TO
WORK TOWARDS THESE IMPORTANT
LOCAL HOW TO WORK TOWARDS
IMPORTANT LOCAL RENEWABLE
ENERGY CONCEPTS MORE LOCALIZED
COOPERATIVE ENERGY PRODUCTS, 
PRACTICES OF LOCAL COMMUNITIES
AND IT'S BETTER DEMOCRATIC
PRINCIPLES FOR EACH COMMUNITY
AS THESE ARE THE HOPES AND
PROMISES OF LOCAL COMMUNITY
ENERGY.
AND HOW IS INITIALLY CONCEIVED
MEANT TO WORK TOWARDS TO CLOSE?
PLEASE REMEMBER IT IS RENEWABLE
ENERGY THAT OFFERS MORE
INVENTIVE OVERALL SUSTAINABLE
IDEAS AND PRACTICES WITH CLEAN
ENERGY IDEAS LIKE NUCLEAR THAT
ARE BASED ON MOSTLY CARBON
NEUTRAL IDEAS.
THANK YOU. 
>> THANK YOU. 
>> GOOD AFTERNOON MAYOR
LICCARDO.
>> MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL. 
MY NAME'S ERIC SHAYNE OUR I
REPRESENT HUMMINGBIRD ENERGY
STORAGE AND YES VOLTA ON THIS
PROJECT. 
WE WANT TO THANK THE PUBLIC
WORKS DEPARTMENT AND CITY
ATTORNEYS OFFICE ON PREPARING
THE FRANCHISE AGREEMENT AND
WORKING WITH OUR TEAM.
>> THIS IS I BELIEVE THE FIRST
BATTERY STORAGE FACILITY IN THE
CITY THAT SUPPLIES ENERGY TO
THE REGIONAL AND STATEWIDE GRID
MAKE MORE OUR PROJECT IN A
MASSACRE WITH CITY CLIMATE
SMART STRATEGY TO TRANSITION TO
RENEWABLE ENERGY.
>> WE CAN'T INCREASE OUR
RELIANCE ON RENEWABLE ENERGY
WITHOUT BATTERY STORAGE.
THIS KIND OF STORAGE IS NEEDED
BECAUSE THE WIND ISN'T ALWAYS
BLOWING AND THE SUN ISN'T
ALWAYS SHINING.
AND THIS ALLOWS SMOOTH
RELIABILITY OF ENERGY
THROUGHOUT THE DAY.
>> SECONDLY, THE PROJECT BEING
PHYSICALLY OR GEOGRAPHICALLY
LOCATED IN SAN JOSE DOES HAVE
BENEFIT TO SANTO Zé IN THAT IT
CONTRIBUTES TOWARDS SANTA AS A
CLEAN ENERGY'S CALIFORNIA
PUBLIC UTILITY.
COMMISSION MANDATE FOR LOCAL
CAPACITY REQUIREMENT. 
>> AND SO THIS WILL HELP REDUCE
SOUNDS LIKE CLEAN ENERGIES NEED
TO PURCHASE ENERGY FROM NATURAL
GAS FACILITIES. 
>> SO IT IS BENEFICIAL THAT THE
FACILITY IS LOCATED IN SAN JOSE
ITSELF.
WITH THAT WE HOPE THAT THE
COUNCIL WILL APPROVE THE
FRANCHISE AGREEMENT SO THAT WE
CAN BUILD OUR FACILITY WHICH IS
ALREADY APPROVED BY THE
PLANNING COMMISSION AND CONNECT
IT TO THE METCALF ENERGY CENTER
IN SOUTH SANTA .
I AM AVAILABLE FOR QUESTIONS.
THANK YOU.
>> THANK YOU.
THE PERSON WITH THE PHONE
NUMBER AND 6 2 6 WELCOME. 
>> THANK YOU MA'AM.
>> SO THIS IS RAUL UNDER BURN
CENTER.
I'M USING MY PHONE BECAUSE I'VE
GOT THE AUDIO ISSUES IS MY
MIKE.
I WORKED IN THAT BUILDING
BETWEEN 19 IOS 6 AND 8 AND I
WAS ACTUALLY IN THE BUILDING
WHEN THE EARTHQUAKE HIT.
I KNOW THERE'S A BUILDING
INSIDE OUT SO I'M CONVINCED
THAT THERE COULD NOT BE A
BETTER CHOICE FOR THIS FACILITY
IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD AND I CANNOT
WAIT FOR THE DAY WHEN MY HOUSE
WILL UNINTERRUPTED CLEAN POWER
SUPPLY DIRECTLY FROM THIS
BUILDING INSTEAD OF THE GRID.
I SAY THAT TRUE TO MY OWN
COUNSEL.
I DO HAVE A FEW QUESTIONS FOR
STAFF.
THE FIRST QUESTION IS ABOUT
PUBLIC OUTREACH.
WHY DID THIS GO THROUGH
PLANNING INSTEAD? 
ANY NEXT QUESTIONS RELATED TO
THIS SPECIFIC ALIGNMENT IS THE
ALIGNMENT IN THE MONTEREY
PROTOCOL MAKES SENSE?
IS THE ALIGNMENT IN THE
MONTERREY HIGHWAY REGION OR
IMMUNITY?
WEST OR EAST OF THE HIGHWAY
NEXT. 
DOES THE SOUTHERN CONNECTION
CROSS KARAOKE CREATE
UNDERGROUND OR ABOVE GROUND?
AND DID THE PLANNERS COME TO
USING THE ABANDONED WATER
DISTRICT CARNIVAL SIPHON IS A
CHAOTIC ARMY CANAL THAT GOES
UNDER CASUALTY CREEK AND
MONTERREY HIGHWAY IN THE COURSE
AND ON THE ON THE ALIGNMENT IS
WHETHER THE CONDUIT WOULD BE
CONSTRUCTED TO HIS MICRO
TUNNELING EQUIPMENT INCLUDING
GOING ON GREAT ROADS AND ABOUT
CALLED TRAIN TRACKS YOU KNOW
NEAR MY HOUSE.
IT SOUNDS MLC IN THIS IS THAT
IS THE CASE.
I WOULD LIKE THE FOLKS ARE THE
STAFF TO REACH OUT TO KATHERINE
AND EXPLAIN TO THEM HOW TO
UNDERGROUND UTILITIES THAT
CURRENTLY CROSS THE CAL TRAIN
TRACKS INDEPENDENTLY AND THEN S
NOSY. 
THANK YOU.
THANK YOU.
THE PHONE NUMBER ENDING 5 1 4
0.
WELCOME.
YEAH I'D LIKE TO KNOW IF THIS
HUMMINGBIRD GRID'S IS GOING TO
MELT DOWN ON ONE HOT DAY LIKE
WHAT HAPPENED THE OTHER DAY.
>> THAT WAS RIDICULOUS. 
OUR POWER GOING OUT WITH ONE
HOT DAY ON TOP OF THIS SAN JOSE
WANTS TO GO ALL ELECTRIC ONCE
THE BAND GAS STOVES GAS. 
>> I WANT TO KNOW IF THIS MR.
HUMMINGBIRD HERE IF THIS GRID
IS GONNA BE ABLE TO HANDLE ALL
THE ELECTRICITY THAT'S GONNA
HAPPEN WHEN WE HAVE TO USING
ELECTRICITY.
SO WE THINK IF SOMEONE WANTS A
BAD NATIONAL GAS, THE NEXT
THING THE CITY COUNCIL IS GONNA
WANT TO BAN AS FAR.
>> I SWEAR TO GOD.
YEAH.
MY QUESTION IS HOW RELIABLE IS
THIS ENERGY GOING TO BE BECAUSE
PG&E IS GOING IS GOING BY THE
WAY OF VENEZUELA RIGHT NOW.
AND ONCE AGAIN, I HOPE IT
DOESN'T GET MUCH HOTTER OR THE
ECONOMY DOESN'T COME BACK ON
LINE.
HOW ARE YOU GOING TO BE ABLE TO
HANDLE THE ENERGY FROM FROM DO
YOU KNOW WITH THIS NEW GRID AND
EVERYTHING?
>> I HOPE IT'S ON ANOTHER STAND
STANDARD WAS A BOONDOGGLE BUT
IT SURE SOUNDS LIKE IT.
>> WELL, THANK YOU.
BACK TO THE COUNCIL.
CATS ARE A JIMENEZ.
>> YES.
VERY QUICKLY.
JUST WANTED TO THANK THE
APPLICANT.
I KNOW THAT THE ORIGINAL
LOCATION FOR THIS HUMMINGBIRD
BATTERY STORAGE LOCATION WAS
WAS IN A DIFFERENT PLACE AND I
APPRECIATED THEIR FLEXIBILITY
AND LOOKING FOR A DIFFERENT
LOCATION, A MORE OPTIMAL
LOCATION IN THE EYES MANY.
AND SO I VERY MUCH APPRECIATE
THAT.
ERICA, I ASSUME ON THE LINE I
WAS WONDERING IF YOU CAN TOUCH
ON THE QUESTION AROUND
ALIGNMENT.
I THOUGHT IT WAS A RELEVANT
QUESTION AS IT RELATES TO
MONTERREY ROAD AND SENDING THE
ENERGY DOWN TO THE MET CAP
ENERGY PLAN.
>> YEAH. 
SO I'M SORRY.
I'M GOING TO HAVE TO DEFER TO
CITY STAFF ON THE EXACT
PLACEMENT OF THE OF THE
FACILITIES ALONG MONTERREY
ROAD.
BUT IN GENERAL, YES, THE
ALIGNMENT GOES STRAIGHT DOWN
MONTERREY ROAD AND THEN WHEN IT
GETS DOWN NEAR THE METCALF
ENERGY CENTER IT'LL TURN ABOVE
GROUND OVER COUNTY CREEK TO GET
TO METCALF ENERGY CENTER AND IT
WAS ALL PART OF OUR DISCUSSION
WITH PUBLIC WORKS AND WE'RE
HAVING TO WORK WITH COUNTY
PARKS AND OTHERS TO GET THE
CONNECTION TODAY.
>> THIS JUST AUTHORIZES THE USE
OF THE CITY'S RIGHT OF WAY FOR
THE CONNECTION.
>> OK, SO SO I GUESS IF THERE'S
ANYONE ON STAFF THAT MAYBE HAS
AN IDEA AS TO HOW IT MAY
HAPPEN, IT SEEMS LIKE WE HAVE
YET TO WORK OUT ALL THE DETAILS
WITH THE THAT.
>> THANK YOU.
COUNCILMEMBER MINUS FOR THE
QUESTION AND WE CAN DEFINITELY
I CAN DEFINITELY FOLLOW UP WITH
YOURSELF AND MR. LEBRON
AFTERWARDS AS WELL.
THE RESOLUTION IN FRONT OF YOU
IN FRONT OF YOU TODAY.
EXHIBIT A.
THE RESOLUTION IS THE SAME AS
EXHIBIT A IN A MEMO WHICH JUST
SHOWS A GENERAL I MET WITH MR.
SHANE OUR MENTIONED AND SO
THAT'S A QUESTION I'LL HAVE TO
FOLLOW UP WITH THE DETAIL ON.
>> OKAY.
AND THEN AND THEN ONE THING
THAT COMES TO MIND IS IS YOU
KNOW, ROLAND ASKED THE QUESTION
IS THAT.
I THINK I SUSPECT DIEP JOHN
RISTO ISN'T ON THE LINE BUT I
KNOW MONTERREY ROAD IS DUE TO
GET SOME TREATMENT MAYBE OVER
THE NEXT YEAR OR SO.
AND I'M CURIOUS HOW THIS ALIGNS
WITH THAT.
I KNOW SOMETIMES WE DELAY SOME
OF THE TREATMENTS AS IT RELATES
TO OR WHEN WHEN WE EXPECT SOME
DIGGING UP OF THE STREETS AND
SUCH.
AND SO I'M CURIOUS AS TO
WHETHER HOW THIS WOULD BE TIMED
AND IF IT WOULD IMPACT THE WORK
ON MONTERREY. 
>> WELCOME, JOHN.
COUNCIL MEMBER JOHN BERRYESSA
DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
DIRECTOR YET YOU'RE REFERRING
TO WE ARE GOING TO DO SOME
RESURFACING ON SECTION
OF MONTERREY HIGHWAY DOWN IN
THE SOUTHERN SECTION DOWN THERE
AND IT COULD BE.
IT COULD HAVE SOME OVERLAP BUT
WE WOULD BE COORDINATING WITH
ANY NEAR THE WORK THAT WOULD BE
GOING ON WITH INSTALLATION
OF ANY OF THE UTILITIES TO TIME
THAT RIGHT.
WE MAY BE THERE NEXT SUMMER FOR
THE WORK I'M ON OR AROUND SO
I'M NOT SURE THE TIMING OF THIS
WORK BUT WE WOULD BE THERE NEXT
SUMMER.
OK.
>> GOOD.
THANK YOU, MAYOR. 
I'M NOT SURE IF WE HAVE A
MOTION BUT A MOVE TO APPROVE
WHAT WE DO NOW. 
>> IS THERE A SECOND I CAN
CHECK IT. 
>> THANK YOU.
>> SECOND COUNCILOR DAVIS I
REALLY SURE.
COUNCIL MET HIM AND AS HIS
APPRECIATION FOR THE NEW
LOCATION FOR THIS I THINK IT'S
CERTAINLY ENVIRONMENTALLY
SUPERIOR. 
REALLY APPRECIATE THE
WILLINGNESS OF THE COMPANY TO
LOOK FOR OTHER OPTIONS GIVEN
OVER AND VISIONS FOR THE
PRESERVATION OF CAPE VERDE
VALLEY. 
I ALSO APPRECIATE OBVIOUSLY THE
PURPOSE OF STORAGE. 
>> WE CRITICALLY NEED ENERGY
STORAGE.
IF WE'RE GOING TO BE ABLE TO
ACHIEVE OUR RENEWABLE FUTURE
ONE THAT I KNOW IS VERY
ATTAINABLE FOR THIS CITY IF
THERE'S ANY CITY IN THE COUNTRY
CAN DO IT.
WELL, I WAS HOPING YOU COULD
HELP ME UNDERSTAND JUST A BIT
MORE SUPPORT OF THIS PROJECT. 
I JUST WANT TO UNDERSTAND ABOUT
HOW WE SHOULD THINK ABOUT THESE
PARTICULAR PROJECTS MOVING
FORWARD AND WHETHER OR NOT
THERE SHOULD BE CONDITIONS ON
FUTURE FRANCHISE AGREEMENTS IN
THIS OR GRANTS OF FRANCHISE
FROM THE CITY AND SPECIFICALLY
MR. SHANE EVER SAID THAT THIS
PROJECT CONTRIBUTES TO HELP
FULFILL OUR LOCAL ENERGY
REQUIREMENT THE PUC?
>> NOW I ASSUME HE DIDN'T
MEAN TO SAY THAT IT ACTUALLY
HELPS FULFILL OUR RESOURCE
ADEQUACY REQUIREMENTS.
I DON'T THINK IT DOES.
DOES THIS IS A CONTRACT TO PG&E
AT IT HELPS FULFILL THEIR LOCAL
RESOURCE AND REQUEST THE
REQUIREMENTS?
NO, WE'RE NOT CONTRACTED WITH
THIS PARTICULAR PROJECT.
OK.
>> JUST TO UNDERSTAND. 
IN THIS CASE WE GOT A LONG TERM
OR THE APPLICANT HAS A LONG
TERM CONTRACT WITH PG&E FOR A
RESOURCE ADEQUACY. 
>> SO PG&E GETS A FINANCIAL
REGULATORY BENEFIT WITH OUR
APPROVAL OF THE FRANCHISE WHICH
ALLOWS THIS APPLICANT TO BE
ABLE TO USE OUR CITY RIGHT
AWAY.
AND I HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH THAT
IN THE ABSTRACT. 
BUT CERTAINLY WE'VE HAD
LONGSTANDING CHALLENGES WITH
PG&E IN THE COMPANIES
WITHHOLDING SUPPLY FROM THE
RESOURCE ADEQUACY MARKET AND
THAT'S RESULTED IN REGULATORY
PENALTIES TO THE CITY AND
ULTIMATELY HIGHER COSTS FOR OUR
RESIDENTS.
SENDS A PARTICIPANTS THAT
SOUNDS LIKE CLEAN ENERGY TO
SMALL BUSINESSES AND RESIDENTS
.
AND SO I WANT TO UNDERSTAND IS
IS THERE ANY OPPORTUNITY FOR US
IN THE FUTURE WE WOULD HAVE A
POLICY IN PLACE TO REQUIRE THE
BENEFICIARIES OF CONTRACTS LIKE
THIS TO ACTUALLY MAKE FORWARD
COMMITMENTS. 
>> FOR EXAMPLE, THIS HAS A
CLEAN ENERGY FOR FOR RESOURCE
ADEQUACY SUPPLY OR SOME OTHER
KINDS OF COMMITMENTS TO
ACTUALLY ADDRESS OUR
LONGSTANDING CHALLENGES. 
YEAH.
>> THAT'S A GOOD QUESTION AND
THAT'S SOMETHING WE CAN
CERTAINLY CONSIDER IN THE
FUTURE.
JUST TO SAY THAT EVERYBODY IS
AWARE THIS PARTICULAR PROJECT
WAS APPROVED AND CONTRACTED BY
PG&E BEFORE AS A CLEAN ENERGY
STARTED SO IT WAS A CONTRACT
FOR PG&E IS RESOURCE ADEQUACY
AND THIS PARTICULAR DEVELOPER
IS ALSO BUILT IN TO OUR
SOLICITATIONS FOR RESOURCE
ADEQUACY AND DEFINITELY OPEN TO
WORKING WITH THEM AND OTHER
COMPANIES MEETING OUR NEEDS AND
WE ALL KNOW THAT TRANSITIONING
TO MORE BATTERY STORAGE IS
IMPORTANT FOR THE FUTURE.
SO CERTAINLY SOMETHING WE CAN
LOOK AT IN FUTURE FRANCHISE
AGREEMENT. 
I HOPE THAT ANSWERS YOUR
QUESTION.
I'M NOT SURE IF ADDITIONAL
CONCERNS.
>> IT DOES.
I UNDERSTAND THIS IS COMPLEX
REGULATORY AREA. 
IT TAKES I'M SURE SOME TIME TO
FIGURE OUT HOW AND WHETHER WE
CAN DO THIS.
BUT I GUESS I'D ASK THE MAKER
OF THE MOTION VIEW TO
INCORPORATE THAT RECOMMENDATION
SPECIFIC GLEE THAT ON FUTURE
FRANCHISE AGREEMENTS FOR ENERGY
STORAGE OR OTHER ENERGY
RESILIENCE FOCUSED PROJECTS
THAT WE WOULD ACQUIRE THE
PRIVATE SECTOR COMPANIES THAT
ARE ULTIMATELY THE
BENEFICIARIES THE PROVIDERS
OF POWER TO PROVIDE SOME PUBLIC
BENEFIT THROUGH FOR EXAMPLE FOR
COMMITMENTS ON RESOURCE
ADEQUACY SUPPLY OR OTHER KINDS
OF BENEFITS TO THE BETTER TO
HELP SUPPORT THE OVERALL
RESILIENCE GOALS OF OUR CITY. 
>> I'M SUPPORTIVE OF THE IT'S A
NO BRAINER.
THANK YOU.
THANK YOU.
AND THAT'S OKAY WITH THE
SECOND.
>> YES.
THANK YOU. 
OKAY.
AND THEN ON THE MOTION LET'S GO
I MEAN YES.
>> YES.
PERALEZ I DIEP MOSCOW. 
OH SHE TALKS TO ME.
SHE VOTES YES.
SHE GOT KICKED OFF HER
COMPUTER.
SO THAT'S A YES CARRASCO.
DAVIS I.

HOMELESSNESS TWENTY TWENTY
TWENTY FIVE.
WE DO HAVE A PRESENTATION.
>> WE DO.
THANK YOU, MAYOR.
SERIOUSLY, WILCOX CHIEF
OF STAFF OF THE CITY MANAGER
AND SARA.
CAN WE PUT UP THE PRESENTATION
WHILE SHE IS DOING THAT?
>> I WILL SAY THAT JACKIE AND I
ARE POINTING A BIT OF AN
AUDIBLE.
WE HAD ANTICIPATED THAT THE
COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS
WOULD BE TAKING UP THIS ITEM
THIS MORNING AND THEY TOOK IT
UP ABOUT THREE MINUTES BEFORE
WE DID.
SO WE HAVE STAFF STRADDLING
BOTH THESE ITEMS.
SO SOME OF THE INTRODUCTIONS
MAY CHANGE. 
SARA, ARE YOU ABLE TO PUT UP
THE PRESENTATION OR JACKIE LEE
WOULD IT HELP FOR US TO STALL
OUT UNTIL WE GET OUR STAFF BACK
FROM THE COUNTY HERE?
>> WELL, YOU KNOW, I THINK
WE'VE GOT K.J. RAY AND JACKIE
AND MYSELF ALREADY PRESENT.
>> SO I THINK WE HAVE COVID AND
IN THE SPIRIT OF TRUE
PARTNERSHIP. 
SO I'LL GO AHEAD AND START US
OFF.
HE AND I ARE PLAYING IT WHEN WE
DO HAVE KATHERINE KAMINSKY FROM
THE COUNTY'S OFFICE

A BOARD MEMBER OF DESTINATION
HOME AND ALSO ON THE LIVED
EXPERIENCE ADVISORY BOARD. 
>> AND I'LL GO AHEAD WITH MY
INTRO WHERE WE GET THE
PRESENTATION. 
BUT TEXT ME SARA IF YOU NEED
HELP. 
HOMELESSNESS IS A RESULT
OF VARIOUS SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC
SYSTEMIC FAILURES MANY WHICH
JUST A PORTION EARLY IMPACT
COMMUNITIES COLORS THE
HOMELESSNESS CRISIS IS ON A
EXACERBATED BY THE CURRENT
PUBLIC HEALTH CRISIS CAUSED BY
THE SPREAD OF COVE IN 19 IN OUR
COMMUNITY EVERYONE IS IMPACTED
.
>> THE ONLY WAY FORWARD IS
TOGETHER AS EVERYONE HAS A ROLE
TO PLAY IN THE HOMELESSNESS
RESPONSE.
UNDERSTANDING THIS A BROAD
CROSS SECTOR OF KEY
STAKEHOLDERS WORK TOGETHER TO
CREATE A COMMON AGENDA AND TO
ADDRESS THE SOCIAL PROBLEM IN
FRONT OF US. 
EVEN BEFORE THE PLANNING
PROCESS BEGAN, AN INTERAGENCY
COHORT WORKED TO REFINE AND
INCREASE OUR COLLABORATION
CAPACITY OVER THE LAST TWO
YEARS.
ALL INVOLVED IN THE PLANNING
PROCESS WERE COMMITTED TO
CENTERING THE VOICES OF PEOPLE
WITH LIVED EXPERIENCE AND
ENSURING AN INCLUSIVE PROCESS
THAT SOUGHT INPUT AND
PERSPECTIVE.
>> FROM SERVICE PROVIDERS,
RESIDENTS, BUSINESSES, SUBJECT
MATTER EXPERTS AND KEY
STAKEHOLDERS ACROSS HEALTHCARE,
BUSINESS, PHILANTHROPY,
GOVERNMENT AND EDUCATION
SECTORS THE CONCLUSION OF THAT
EXTENSIVE YEARLONG PLANNING
ENGAGEMENT PROCESS IS THE
COMMUNITY PLAN BEFORE YOU TODAY
A PLAN INTENTIONALLY DESIGNED
AS A COLLECTIVE IMPACT MODEL
WITH A COUNTY WIDE FRAMEWORK
THAT FOCUSES POLICY AND
PROGRAMMATIC PRIORITIES WHERE
THEY WILL HAVE THE LARGEST
IMPACT.
>> ONE THING IS FOR SURE
ADVANTAGING THE PLAN STRATEGY.
THE PLAN STRATEGIES REQUIRES
BROAD SECTOR ALIGNMENT AND
COLLABORATION AND SIGNIFICANT
INVESTMENTS AND SOCIAL
INNOVATION.
AS YOU'LL HEAR LATER IN THE
PRESENTATION, THE INTERSECTING
PANDEMIC CREDIT CRISIS HAS
ALLOWED FOR AND DEMANDED
IMPLEMENTATION OF THESE
STRATEGIES AT AN ACCELERATED
PASS OVER THE PAST SEVERAL
MONTHS.
>> FORTUNATELY BECAUSE OF THE
ONGOING COMMUNICATION AND
COLLABORATION OCCURRING BETWEEN
THE CITY COUNTY DESTINATION
HOME OUR HOUSING AND
HOMELESSNESS USE OUR RESPECTIVE
STAFF HAVE BEEN PREPARED TO
WORK TOGETHER AS A TEAM TO
OPERATE ICE SOLUTIONS FAST.
OVER THE PAST SEVERAL MONTHS
INTERNALLY WE KNOW THAT
HOMELESS HOMELESSNESS IMPACTS
NEARLY EVERY DEPARTMENT IN OUR
SYSTEM.
>> THE SCALE OF THE PROBLEM THE
PROBLEM REQUIRES US TO WORK
COLLECTIVELY ACROSS ALL OF OUR
CITY DEPARTMENTS ENSURING AN
ORGANIZATIONAL FOCUSED RESPONSE
IS AND HAS BEEN A PRIORITY FOR
THIS ADMINISTRATION. 
THIS WAS REFLECTED IN
COMMUNICATIONS PRIOR TO THE
COVE COVID NINETEEN PANDEMIC
WHERE WE DESCRIBED HOW THE
ADMINISTRATION HAD INITIATED AN
INTERNAL IMPLEMENTATION
PLANNING PROCESS TO MOVE FROM A
COUNTY WIDE STRATEGIC FRAMEWORK
THAT'S IN FRONT OF YOU TODAY TO
A TAILORED SOLUTION FOR SANTO
ZAY.
ALTHOUGH THE IMPACT OF THE
PANDEMIC HAS IMPACTED OUR
BUDGET, OUR STAFFING AND THAT
PLANNING PROCESS, IT HAS
PROVIDED AN OPPORTUNITY TO
CREATE INTER-DEPARTMENTAL
EMERGENCY OFF EMERGENCY
OPERATIONS CENTER BRANCHES AND
IN THE EEOC TO SUPPORT THE
CITY'S RESPONSE TO OUR
VULNERABLE ON HOUSE RESIDENTS.
THREE BRANCHES TO DATE HAVE
WORKED DILIGENTLY TO BUILD
SHELTERS IN TERM HOUSING,
DELIVER SERVICES AND RESOURCES
TO OUR UNSHELTERED NEIGHBORS.
ALL OF THIS WORK HAS BEEN
ALIGNED WITH THE PLANS
STRATEGIES AND WE'LL CONTINUE
AS WE RESPOND TO THE MANY
CRISES THAT CONTINUE TO UNFOLD
AND LAYER ON TOP OF THE
HOMELESSNESS CRISIS. 
WE UNDOUBTABLY HAVE A LONG WAY
TO GO.
BUT WE'VE COME A LONG WAY THUS
FAR AND AS RAY WILL DESCRIBE
LATER WE HAVE THE RIGHT PEOPLE
AT THE TABLE AND A COLLECTIVE
VISION TO MAKE A BIG IMPACT
WITH THAT.
IF SHE IS ON THE LINE I WOULD
LIKE TO TURN IT OVER TO
CLAUDINE WHO I MENTIONED IS
DESTINATION HOA BOARD MEMBER
AND MEMBER OF THE LIVED
EXPERIENCE ADVISORY BOARD WITH
DESTINATION HOME CUDDY LEO. 
>> THANK YOU.
I APOLOGIZE.
MY NAME IS NOT JENNIFER LOVING
AS YOU CAN SEE INFLECTIONS ARE
DIFFERENT BUT WE SHARE THE SAME
EXCITEMENT FOR ALL OF THIS.
SO AGAIN MY NAME IS CLAUDINE
SEELEY.
I'M THE LIVED EXPERIENCE
ADVISORY BOARD MEMBER BOARD
MEMBER FOR FOR DESTINATION HOME
AND THEN I'M ALSO A FRONT LINE
WORKER FOR CITY TEAM WHICH IS A
SEMI COUNTY CONTINUUM OF CARE
PARTNERING AGENCY. 
I WANT TO LET YOU ALL KNOW
ABOUT THE LIVED EXPERIENCE
ADVISORY BOARD, HOW IT'S FORMED
AND WHAT WE'RE DOING RIGHT NOW
AND THE IMPACT WE HAVE MADE SO
FAR AS FAR AS THIS COMMUNITY
PLAN TO END HOMELESSNESS. 
>> THE BOARD WAS WAS FORMED IN
APRIL OF 2013.
WE ARE AN ASSEMBLY OF PEOPLE
WITH PAST OR CURRENT EXPERIENCE
OF HOMELESSNESS AND WE HAVE
COME TOGETHER TO TO LEARN A
SYSTEM OF CARE TO EVALUATE IT
AND AND TO MAKE FEEDBACK AND
MAKE RECOMMENDATIONS FOR
IMPROVEMENT FROM A CONSUMER'S
PERSPECTIVE. 
AS A SUBCOMMITTEE OF THE
SANTA CLARA COUNTY CONTINUUM
OF CARE, WE HAVE BEEN ACTIVELY
ADVISING THE COUNTY WITH THE
COMMUNITY AT LARGE ON THE
ISSUES OF HOUSING AND
HOMELESSNESS FOR ALMOST TWO AND
A HALF YEARS NOW. 
SO SO ESSENTIALLY SINCE WE
FORMED IN THE FALL OF 2019 OUR
MEMBERS PARTICIPATED TABLE
LEADERS IN MULTIPLE GROUP
DISCUSSIONS DURING COMMUNITY
WIDE MEETINGS AND WE ARE VERY
HONORED AND PRIVILEGED TO HAVE
OUR FEEDBACK. 
THE FEEDBACK THAT WE PROVIDED
BE INCORPORATED INTO THE PLAN.
THE LIVED EXPERIENCE ADVISORY
BOARD IS VERY ENTHUSIASTIC
ABOUT BEING THE FIRST ENTITY TO
ENDORSE THE COMMUNITY PLAN TO
END HOMELESSNESS. 
WE FEEL THAT IT REFLECTS OUR
COMMUNITY WIDE PRIORITY TO
DEVELOP HOUSING FOR EXTREMELY
LOW INCOME INDIVIDUALS AND
FAMILIES AND WE FEEL THAT IT
ALSO CONTAINS EVERYTHING THAT
WE HAVE BEEN WORKING TOWARDS
AND WE CONTINUE TO ADVOCATE FOR
INCLUDING ADVANCING RACIAL
EQUITY ACCESS TO LIVING WAGE
JOBS, INCREASING MENTAL HEALTH
AND SUBSTANCE OF THESE
SERVICES.
>> WE'RE ANXIOUSLY LOOKING
FORWARD TO TRACKING THE
PROGRESS OF THE PLAN STATED
GOALS AND MOST IMPORTANTLY
BEING PART OF THE SOLUTION
WHEREVER POSSIBLE.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. 
>> GOOD AFTERNOON MAYOR
VICE MAYOR COUNCIL MEMBERS RAY
BRANSON DESTINATION HOME.
>> THANK YOU FOR THE
OPPORTUNITY PRESENT TODAY.
KEEP THIS AS BRIEF AS POSSIBLE.
AS I KNOW THESE MEETINGS RUN
MUCH MUCH LONGER THAN THEY USED
TO.
YOU KNOW 15 YEARS AGO, 15 YEARS
GO WE HAD A DIFFERENT
COMMUNITY.
>> WE HAD PARTS FROM THE CITY
PLAN TO END HOMELESSNESS. 
>> WE HAD A COUNTY 10 YEAR PLAN
TO END CHRONIC HOMELESSNESS. 
BUNCH OF NONPROFIT
ORGANIZATIONS WORKING THE VERY
GOOD CAUSE.
BUT THERE WAS NO GUIDING
GUIDING LIGHT IN NORTH STAR.
IN 2015 THE SANTA CLARA COUNTY
CONTINUUM OF CARE WHICH IS
COMPRISED OF ALL THE
STAKEHOLDERS IN OUR COMMUNITY
WE'RE WORKING TOGETHER ON A
COLLECTIVE IMPACT MODEL TO END
HOMELESSNESS CAME TOGETHER AND
APPROVED OUR FIRST EVER
COMMUNITY PLAN TO END
HOMELESSNESS.
>> WE WERE FOCUSING ON ENSURING
THAT WE HAD A BROAD VOICE AND A
BIG, BIG VISION FOR WHAT WE
COULD DO IN 2015.
AND THE GOOD NEWS IS WE'VE DONE
A LOT OF IT.
NEXT SLIDE PLEASE. 
>> SO BACK IN 2015 WHEN WE
PROVED THE COMMUNITY PLAN TO
END HOMELESSNESS.
WE SAID WE WERE GONNA CREATE
6000 HOUSING OPPORTUNITIES FOR
OUR MOST VULNERABLE NEIGHBORS.
I'M HAPPY TO SHARE THAT.
WE'VE HOUSED OVER 14 THOUSAND
PEOPLE IN THAT TIME BACK THEN A
LOT OF FOLKS DIDN'T KNOW WHERE
THE MONEY WOULD COME FROM,
WHERE THE POLITICAL WELL WOULD
BE, HOW WE WOULD MAKE THESE
THINGS HAPPEN.
BUT WE APPROVED THE 905 MILLION
DOLLAR AFFORDABLE HOUSING BOND.
WE'VE DOUBLED THE NUMBER
OF SUPPORTIVE HOUSING UNITS IN
OUR COMMUNITY AND DOUBLED
TEMPORARY EMERGENCY SHELTER
BEDS AS WELL.
WE LAUNCHED A PLAN AND AN
INITIATIVE TO END VETERANS
HOMELESSNESS AND HOW SIXTEEN
HUNDRED VETERANS THROUGHOUT THE
COUNTY AND CREATED A
HOMELESSNESS PREVENTION SYSTEM
THAT DIDN'T EXIST BEFORE AND IS
NOW SERVING FIFTEEN HUNDRED
HOUSEHOLDS A DAY. 
>> YOU CAN JUST WALK AROUND
SAN JOSE AND SEE THAT
DELIBERATE AND CLEAR PROGRESS
THAT WE'VE MADE BY VISITING
RENAISSANCE PLACE THOSE ON THE
PARK AND 2ND STREET STUDIOS
PRIOR TO THAT WE HAD ZERO ONE
HUNDRED PERCENT PERMANENT
SUPPORTIVE HOUSING
DEVELOPMENTS.
>> NOW WE HAVE THREE AND MORE
ON THE WAY.
SO THE PROGRESS HAS BEEN CLEAR
AND WE SHOULD ALL CELEBRATE
THAT.
THE CHALLENGE HOWEVER IF YOU GO
TO THE NEXT SLIDE AS WE'RE
GETTING TO THE NEXT SLIDE I'LL
TELL YOU.
>> SPOILER ALERT.
THE CHALLENGE IS THE PROBLEM IS
ONLY GETTING WORSE FOR EVERY
ONE PERSON THAT WE'VE HOUSED
OVER THE LAST FIVE YEARS. 
WE HOUSED MORE PEOPLE
COLLECTIVELY THAN WE EVER HAVE
BEFORE IN THE HISTORY OF OUR
COMMUNITY.
BUT FOR EVERY ONE PERSON WE
HOUSE THREE PEOPLE ARE ENDING
UP ON THE STREETS.
AND IT'S A CHALLENGE THAT IS
DIFFICULT TO GET OUR ARMS
AROUND.
BUT NOW FOR THE FIRST TIME WE
DO KNOW WE ACTUALLY HAVE AN
ASSESSMENT TO FIND OUT HOW MANY
PEOPLE ARE BECOMING HOMELESS
FOR THE FIRST TIME.
AND WE SEE THAT'S PROBLEM AND
WE KNOW THAT IT'S NOT JUST
ADDRESSING THE PEOPLE THAT ARE
ON THE STREET THINKING ABOUT
THE SYSTEMIC AND UP OUTFLOW
SYSTEMS AS WELL THAT ARE
CONTRIBUTING TO MORE
HOMELESSNESS.
NEXT SLIDE PLEASE.
THERE ARE DRIVING FACTORS THAT
ARE CREATING THIS CHALLENGE IN
OUR COMMUNITY THAT ARE ALL TOO
CLEAR FOR ANYONE WHO'S PAYING
ATTENTION.
>> THE WEALTH GAP IS GROWING
SIGNIFICANTLY. 
THE FOLKS IN THE TOP
PERCENTILES EARNING MORE IN OUR
EXTREMELY LOW INCOME HOUSEHOLDS
ARE EARNING LESS OVER TIME SO
THE RICH ARE GETTING RICHER AND
THE POOR ARE GETTING POORER AND
IT'S BECOMING HARDER AND HARDER
TO MAKE ENDS MEET FOR OUR MOST
VULNERABLE FAMILIES. 
NICOLETTE ON TOP OF THAT. 
>> WE JUST CAN'T KEEP UP WITH
THE DEMAND AND WE ARE NOT
BUILDING ENOUGH DEEPLY
AFFORDABLE HOUSING FOR EVERY
HUNDRED EXTREMELY LOW INCOME
HOUSEHOLDS THAT WE HAVE HERE.
>> THESE ARE FAMILIES MAKING
THIRTY THOUSAND DOLLARS A YEAR
OR LESS.
WE'RE BUILDING.
WE HAVE 34 AVAILABLE UNITS SO
THAT MEANS ALL THOSE OTHER
HOUSEHOLDS THAT CAN'T GET INTO
HOMES WHERE THEY CAN AFFORD TO
PAY THE RENT ARE SEVERELY, 
SEVERELY RENT BURDENED AND MOST
LIKELY ONE PAYCHECK AWAY FROM
HOMELESSNESS.
NEXT SLIDE PLEASE. 
>> AND THEN LASTLY WE'RE SEEING
THE RACIAL DISPARITIES
DESTINATION HOME CONDUCTED
RACIAL EQUITY STUDY IN 2019.
LOOKING AT SOME OF THESE
CHALLENGE BOUND WHICH WAS NO
SURPRISE UNFORTUNATELY WAS
DISPROPORTIONALLY BLACK AND
BROWN PEOPLE ARE ENTERING
HOMELESSNESS AND ENDING UP ON
OUR STREETS AND IN OUR
SHELTERS.
SO WE KNOW THERE'S A LOT
CHALLENGES TO ADDRESS.
SO THAT'S WHY THE COMMUNITY
PLAN THAT YOU'LL HEAR ABOUT
TODAY LOOKS TO GO BEYOND JUST
DEALING WITH THE PROBLEM THAT
WE'RE SEEING STREET BUT TRYING
TO FIGURE OUT HOW WE CAN MAKE
CHANGES FOR OUR COMMUNITY AS A
WHOLE.
THANK YOU.
>> THANKS, RAY.
THANK YOU.
COUNCIL MEMBERS CATHERINE
KAMINSKY WITH OF AUTHENTIC
OFFICES FOR HOUSING. 
SO AS WE MENTIONED, THIS PLAN
REALLY IS OUR ROADMAP FOR
ENSURING A SAFE AND STAY STABLE
HOME FOR ALL IN OUR COMMUNITY.
>> AND AS WE'VE DEVELOPED THIS
PLAN WE FELT IT WAS REALLY
IMPORTANT TO HAVE A COUPLE
OF GUIDING VALUES THAT ARE SEEN
THROUGHOUT AND DRIVING THE
STRATEGIES THROUGHOUT OUR PLAN.
THESE AREN'T STANDALONE
STRATEGIES NOT STANDALONE
OBJECTIVES BUT THEY SHOULD BE
GUIDING THE WAY THAT WE
IMPLEMENT THIS PLAN AS WELL AS
POLICIES THAT WE MOVE FORWARD.
SO THE FIRST OF THESE IS THAT
WE WANT TO RAISE THE VOICES AND
SHARE POWER WITH OUR ON HOUSING
AND RECENTLY HOUSE NEIGHBORS.
WE'RE BEING REALLY THOUGHTFUL
ABOUT HOW WE ARE ACCOUNTABLE TO
PEOPLE WITH LIVED EXPERIENCE
AND INTEGRATING THEM INTO THIS
PROCESS IN A MEANINGFUL AND
POWERFUL WAY. 
AND AS BUDDY YOU MENTIONED, YOU
KNOW ONE OF THE FIRST STEPS WAS
TO IN THE IMPLEMENTATION
OF THIS PLAN WAS TO TAKE THIS
PLAN TO THE LIVED EXPERIENCE
ADVISORY BOARD FOR ENDORSEMENT
PRIOR TO TAKING IT TO ANYBODY
ELSE TO MAKE SURE THAT WE WERE
WE WERE ON TRACK AND THE PLAN
REFLECT REFLECTED THEIR
PRIORITIES. 
SECOND, BUT NO LESS
IMPORTANTLY, WE'RE FOCUSED ON
POLICIES AND PROGRAMS THAT WILL
ADDRESS THE RACIAL INEQUITIES
PRESENT TODAY AND TO REVERSE
REVERSE THE DISPROPORTIONALITY
DISPROPORTIONATELY HIGH RATES
OF PEOPLE OF COLOR THAT ARE ON
HOW'S THAT RATIOS?
ON A PREVIOUS SLIDE AGAIN THIS
WORK SHOULD BE REFLECTED IN THE
PROGRAMS WE IMPLEMENT AS WELL
AS THE POLICIES WE SUPPORT AS
WE MOVE FORWARD.
>> NEXT SLIDE PLEASE. 
SO THIS PLAN IS BUILT ON THREE
CORE STRATEGIES. 
THE FIRST IS THE BROADEST AND
IS REALLY ADDRESSING THE
ENTRENCHED ECONOMIC AND
SOCIETAL CAUSES HOMELESSNESS, 
SYSTEMIC AND POLICY CHANGE. 
SO THIS PLAN SETS A FIVE YEAR
GOAL OF REDUCING NEW ON HOUSED
INDIVIDUALS AND FAMILIES IN A
GIVEN YEAR BY 30 PERCENT AND A
LOT OF THAT WORK IS GOING TO BE
DONE IN THIS FIRST AREA.
THIS FIRST STRATEGY WHILE THAT
FIRST AREA IS ABOUT ADDRESSING
SYSTEMIC CAUSES, WE KNOW THAT
WE HAVE A LARGE HOMELESS
POPULATION TODAY. 
WE KNOW THAT THERE WILL BE SOME
PEOPLE WHO BECOME UN HOUSED
BECAUSE OF OUR LACK
OF AFFORDABLE AND ACCESSIBLE
HOUSING. 
OVER THE NEXT FEW YEARS.
SO THE SECOND AREA IS REALLY
AROUND EXPANDING OUR
HOMELESSNESS PREVENTION SYSTEM
,EXPANDING OUR CAPACITY OF OUR
HOUSING PROGRAMS TO BETTER MEET
THE NEED.
AND FINALLY, WHILE THE FIRST
TWO STRATEGIES SEEK TO END AND
PREVENT HOMELESSNESS, WE KNOW
THAT THERE ARE SO MANY PEOPLE
OUTSIDE TODAY THAT WE NEED TO
DEVELOP STRATEGIES THAT WILL
IMPROVE THE QUALITY OF LIFE FOR
FOLKS THAT ARE STAYING OUTSIDE
TODAY INCLUDING INCREASING
TEMPORARY HOUSING OPTIONS AND
BASIC SERVICES FOR THOSE THAT
ARE ON HOUSING. 
>> NEXT SLIDE PLEASE. 
SO IN THIS FIRST STRATEGY THE
PLAN IS IN THE MARKET AND I'M
SURE MANY OF YOU HAVE LOOKED
THROUGH IT SO I'M NOT GOING TO
READ EACH EACH OF THE SUB
STRATEGIES AROUND HERE BUT THE
FIRST AREA OF WORK AROUND
ADDRESSING THE ROOT CAUSES IS
REALLY THE BROADEST IN SCOPE
AND WILL REQUIRE THE MOST
COLLABORATION ACROSS OUR
HOMELESS SYSTEM.
OUR PARTNERS ACROSS EVERY
JURISDICTION IN IN OUR COUNTY.
THERE ARE SIX AREAS OF WORK IN
THIS FIRST STRATEGY. 
THIS INCLUDES THINGS LIKE
WORKING WITH ALL THE JUROR
ACTIONS ACROSS THE COUNTY TO
CREATE CONDITIONS NEEDED TO
DEVELOP THE AFFORDABLE HOUSING
THAT OUR LOWEST INCOME
HOUSEHOLDS NEED CAN INCLUDE
STRENGTHENING OUR SAFETY NET
AND HOUSING SUPPORT FOR
FAMILIES INVOLVED IN CHILD
WELFARE FOR YOUTH IN FOSTER
CARE FOR EXAMPLE AND INCLUDES
INCREASING ACCESS TO LIVING
WAGE JOBS IN THE SECOND
STRATEGY.
>> NEXT PLEASE.
IN THIS SECOND STRATEGY WE HAVE
THREE AREAS OF WORK AND THIS IS
REALLY BUILDING ON OUR
SUCCESSES OVER THE LAST FIVE
YEARS.
BUT SETTING MORE AGGRESSIVE
TARGETS TO EXPAND THE CAPACITY
OF OUR PROGRAMS. 
WE KNOW WHAT WE'RE DOING AND
WHAT WE'RE DOING IS WORKING. 
WE NEED TO DO MORE OF IT.
SO WE HAVE GOALS TO INCREASE
THE CAPACITY OF OUR PERMANENT
SUPPORTIVE HOUSING PROGRAMS OR
RAPID REHOUSING PROGRAMS TO
IMPLEMENT HOUSING PROBLEM
SOLVING ACROSS OUR SYSTEM ALSO
KNOWN AS DIVERSION TO MANY
FOLKS.
WE WANT TO EXPAND OUR
HOMELESSNESS PREVENTION SYSTEM.
WE DEVELOPED IT OVER THE LAST
SEVERAL YEARS TO AN EXPANDED
GREATLY FROM THE START OF OF IT
OF THE PROGRAM AND WE WANT TO
SERVE ANOTHER 7000 HOUSEHOLDS
THROUGH THAT SYSTEM OVER THE
NEXT FIVE YEARS. 
NEXT SLIDE PLEASE. 
AND THIS IS STRATEGY 3.
WE WE HAVE FIVE AREAS OF WORK
HERE AND THIS IS REALLY AROUND
IMPROVING THE QUALITY OF LIFE
OF FOLKS THAT ARE LIVING
OUTSIDE TODAY AS AS WELL AS
IMPROVING SAFETY AND HEALTH IN
OUR NEIGHBORHOODS.
SO HERE WE WANT TO WE HAVE SOME
AGGRESSIVE TARGETS AROUND
INCREASING THE SHELTER CAPACITY
TO DOUBLE THE NUMBER OF YEAR
ROUND TEMPORARY HOUSING BEDS.
WE HAVE GOALS TO INCREASE
STREET OUTREACH, HYGIENE
SERVICES AND TRANSPORTATION
OPTIONS.
WE'RE ALSO.
WE HAVE STRATEGIES TO INCREASE
MENTAL HEALTH AND SUBSTANCE USE
SERVICES TO THOSE THAT ARE
LIVING ON THE STREET TODAY
INCLUDING INCREASING THE NUMBER
OF MOBILE CRISIS TEAMS WITH
CLINICAL STAFF FOR EXAMPLE, AND
WE KNOW AS WE DO DO THIS WORK
WE NEED TO ENGAGE A HUGE
CROSS-SECTION OF COMMUNITY
PARTNERS TO ADDRESS THE NEEDS. 
AND SO WE'VE WE'VE OUTLINED
SOME STRATEGIES PLAN AS WELL. 
>> WITH THAT I'M GOING TO HAND
IT OVER TO REAGAN TO TALK ABOUT
OUR TARGETS.
JACKIE, UNFORTUNATELY REAGAN IS
STILL OVER BY THE COUNT WITH
THE COUNTY TALKING ABOUT THE
PLAN.
>> I'M JACKIE ROSS FRIEND, THE
DIRECTOR OF HOUSING REAGAN DID
THE OVERSAW THE THIRD STRATEGY
SO I'M GOING STARTING OFF
TALKING ABOUT WHAT OUR TARGETS
ARE.
SO BY 2020 5 WE PLAN TO HAVE WE
TRIED TO SET SOME VERY
AGGRESSIVE TARGETS IN PLACE SO
THAT WE CAN STAND TAP ON TASK.
SO WE PLAN TO HOUSE TWENTY
THOUSAND PEOPLE, REDUCE THE
ANNUAL INFLOW OF PEOPLE
BECOMING HOMELESS BY 30 PERCENT
DOUBLE TEMPORARY HOUSING AND
SHELTER CAPACITY AND ADDRESS
THE RACIAL AND EQUITIES PRESENT
AMONG LINE HOUSE TRACKING
PROGRESS TOWARDS REDUCING THESE
DISPARITIES LINE AS OUR MEMO
OUTLINED OUR CODE 19 RESPONSE
IS ALIGNED WITH THE COMMUNITY
PLAN.
I JUST WANTED TO HIGHLIGHT A
FEW EXAMPLES. 
SO UNDER ROOT CAUSE THE CITY
CONTINUES TO WORK WITH ITS
EVICTION MORATORIUM WHICH WHICH
IS DESIGNED TO KEEP TENANTS
SAFELY HOUSED DURING CODE 19.
>> UNDER STRATEGY TO THE CITY
HAS CONTRIBUTED CLOSE TO TWENTY
FIVE MILLION DOLLARS TO ASSIST
BOTH TENANTS AND LANDLORDS AND
OUR HOMELESS PREVENTION FUNDING
AND RENTAL ASSISTANCE FUNDING.
AND WE'VE CONTINUE TO
PERMANENTLY HOUSE PEACEFUL EVEN
THROUGHOUT NINETEEN EIGHTY
EIGHT HUNDRED AND SIXTY FIVE
FORMERLY HOMELESS HOUSEHOLDS
HAVE TRANSITIONED INTO
PERMANENT HOUSING DURING THIS
TIME UNDER STRATEGY 3 WE'RE
MEETING THE NEEDS OF PEOPLE WHO
ARE LIVING ON THE STREETS.
CITY THANKS TO THE DIRECTION
OF THE CITY COUNCIL IS
DEVELOPING THREE EMERGENCY
INTERIM HOUSING SITES FOR
INDIVIDUALS AND FAMILIES AND
THOSE SITES WILL CONTINUE TO
OPERATE AFTER COVID 19 HELPING
TO EXPAND OUR SHELTER CAPACITY
.
AND THEN ANOTHER ITEM THAT WE
IMPLEMENTED DURING THE CRISIS
WHICH WE WOULD LIKE TO CONTINUE
AS A CENTRALIZED HOTLINE WHERE
PEOPLE CAN FIND OUT WHAT
SHELTERS HAVE AVAILABILITY.
SO INSTEAD OF HAVING TO GO TO
EACH SHELTER TO FIND OUT WHO
CAN WHAT'S AVAILABLE. 
THERE'S ONE TELEPHONE NUMBER TO
CALL EXPLAIN. 
>> SO IN TERMS OF IMPLEMENTING
THE PLAN.
THE CONTINUUM OF CARE STEERING
COMMITTEE OVERSEES THE THE PLAN
AND IT IS AN INTERAGENCY GROUP
SO INCLUDES REPRESENTATIVES
FROM THE CITY AND THE CITY
OF SANTA AS A REPRESENTATIVE
OF THE COUNTY NONPROFITS
DESTINATION HOME.
>> IN TERMS OF THE CITY OF SAN
JOSE'S SPECIFIC WORK PLAN, IT
HAD BEEN OUR HOPES AS LEO
STARTED UP THIS DISCUSSION WITH
YOU. 
IT WAS OUR HOPES THAT WE WERE
GOING TO BRING A CITY SANTA A
SPECIFIC PLAN WITH THE
COMMUNITY PLAN AND FORTUNATELY
DUE TO COVID 19 WE WERE UNABLE
TO PRODUCE THE PLAN.
SO ONE OF OUR GOALS IS WE'RE
GONNA USE THE CODE 19 AFTER
ACTION REVIEW AND REPORT TO
HELP US BETTER UNDERSTAND WHAT
STRATEGIES WE USED DURING
COVID 19 THAT WERE SUCCESSFUL
AND WHAT WE CAN TWEAK IN ORDER
TO IMPROVE OUR SERVICE
DELIVERY.
WE WOULD LIKE TO INCLUDE SOME
ADDITIONAL COUNCIL INPUT AS
WHEN WE COME BACK WITH OUR
STRATEGIES THAT WILL BE
SPECIFIC TO WHAT THE CITY WILL
BE IMPLEMENTING.
AND AGAIN THE CITY IMPLEMENTING
UNDER THE UMBRELLA OF THE CITY
MANAGER'S STRATEGIC PRIORITY
AND THE CITY WITH THE HELP
OF THE CITY MANAGER'S OFFICE
AND ALL OF THESE ACTIONS WILL
CONTINUE TO BE ALIGNED WITH OUR
PARTNERS AS WE HAVE CONTINUED
TO DEMONSTRATE DURING COVID 19
HOUSING DEPARTMENT IS ALIGNED
WITH THE COUNTY AND DESTINATION
HOME AND NONPROFITS IN
IMPLEMENTING HOW WE ADDRESS
HOMELESSNESS TOGETHER AND IT
ALSO INCLUDES PRIVATE PARTNERS
AS WELL.
AND SO OUR GOAL IS ABSENT
ADDITIONAL COVID 19 FLOODS. 
ANYTHING SECOND HAPPENED FIRES.
OUR PLAN IS TO MAKE IT THIS
SPRING WITH A FULL
IMPLEMENTATION PLAN FOR THE
CITY. 
SO WHAT WE'RE SEEKING TODAY IS
YOUR ENDORSEMENT OF THIS PLAN.
>> WE'LL COME BACK WITH
IMPLEMENTING ONE AND WE WILL
REPORT JOINTLY ON OUR PROGRESS
.
SO OUR PLAN IS TO COME BACK AS
THE TEAM YOU SEE HERE THAT WILL
INCLUDE THE COUNTY DESTINATION
HOME PRESENTING THE OVERALL
SUCCESS OF THE PLAN IN ADDITION
TO WHAT THE CITY HAS BEEN ABLE
TO ACHIEVE.
THAT WILL BE AN ANNUAL REPORT
THAT WILL ALSO INCLUDE THE CITY
MANAGER'S OFFICE AS THE LEAD IN
HELPING TO FACILITATE A BROADER
CITYWIDE RESPONSE.
AND SO WITH THAT WE ARE OPEN UP
THERE AVAILABLE FOR QUESTIONS
AND COMMENTS.
>> JACKIE AND THANKS TO
EVERYBODY ALL THE PARTNERS WHO
BEEN WORKING TOGETHER ON THIS
PLAN AND MORE IMPORTANTLY ALL
THE WORK YOU'VE BEEN DOING FOR
THE LAST HALF DECADE TOGETHER
REALLY.
I ALSO WANT GIVE KUDOS
DESTINATION HOME RAGE AND
LOVING EVERYBODY OVER THERE FOR
REALLY INITIATING THAT LIVED
EXPERIENCE BOARD.
I THINK IT'S BEEN A REALLY
POWERFUL WAY TO ENGAGE PEOPLE
THAT UNDERSTAND BETTER THAN
ANYONE.
IN MANY WAYS WHAT WHAT'S WHAT'S
NEEDED AND APPRECIATED
COLLEEN'S COMMENTS AND HER
INFECTIOUS PASSION FOR THIS
WORK WHICH IS CRITICALLY
IMPORTANT. 
SO I WANTED TO GO TO THE PUBLIC
FIRST. 
>> WE ARE TAKING PUBLIC COMMENT
NOW ON ITEM FIVE I'M SORRY.
ITEM THREE POINT FIVE WHICH IS
THE COMMUNITY PLANNED AND
HOMELESSNESS.
THE PERSON WITH THE PHONE
NUMBER ENDING SIX TO SIX TO
WELCOME THIS DOWN AGAIN.
>> SO EARLIER. 
SO FIRST OF ALL, I DO
APPRECIATE THE PLAN.
BUT YOU KNOW, WE ARE CONCERNED
WE SEE THE PROOF OF THE PUDDING
IS IN THE EATING. 
I WANT TO TALK ABOUT SPECIFIC
SPECIFIC WAYS TO INCREASE THE
INVENTORY, YOU KNOW, TO
BASICALLY RELIEVE THIS CRISIS
SO EARLY ON DURING PUBLIC
COMMENT I MENTIONED 272 CALORIE
DRY WHICH IS A COUNTY PROPERTY
WHICH IS ACTUALLY IN AND I
THINK WE CAN DO SOMETHING ABOUT
IT RATHER THAN JUST AT THE END
.
THE COUNTY SPENT OVER TWO
MILLION DOLLARS.
DAY AND A BUSY YEAR.
THEY GOT AN ABANDONED HOUSE AND
WE NEED TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT
THIS.
I'M GOING TO GIVE YOU ANOTHER
EXAMPLE WHICH IS AT THE TOP
OF BURN ROADS IS THE ABANDONED
MURO RANCH FACILITY WHICH WAS,
YOU KNOW, LIKE A LITTLE
SECURITY I GUESS DETENTION
CENTER FOR YOUNG LADIES AND
IT'S GOT ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS
VIEWS OF CASUALTY VALLEY. 
AND WE CAN LITERALLY TURN THE
POLICE INTO A RESORT AND SPEND
A LOT LESS THAN 700 IN DOLLARS
PER SQUARE FOOT.
AND WE THIS THESE ARE SHUTTLE
DAYS THAT IBM INDIVIDUALLY RUN
THE SHUTTLE THAT COME NEXT TO
THE METEOR LIKE TRAIL OR TO THE
68 OR SANTA TERESA THAT THEY
CAN GET DEGREES THAT WILL RUN
IN FIVE MINUTES AND GET TO THE
LIGHT RAIL IN MAYBE LESS THAN
10 MINUTES PROBABLY LIKE SIX OR
SEVEN MINUTES.
SO THAT'S REALLY YOU KNOW, THE
LOW HANGING FRUIT WE'RE GOING
TO START FOCUSING ON RIGHT NOW
AND DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT.
THANK. 
GOOD AFTERNOON NEAR COUNCIL
CITY STAFF.
ROSE WASN'T HERE BEFORE WITH MY
CONCERNS THAT THE CURRENT
PROGRAM IS NOT BEING
ADMINISTERED WELL AS IT SHOULD
BE.
AND I HOPE WE CAN RESOLVE THOSE
ISSUES FORWARD.
I'M GLAD I SEE THE LINE
OF THOUGHT IS GOING INTO THIS
PLAN AND IT'S GOOD FEATURES.
I HOPE IT WORKS AS FAR AS PLAN
BUT I'M STILL CONCERNED THAT WE
UNDER UTILIZED PRIVATE ROOM KEY
DURING EVERY CRISIS EVERY HOUR.
>> I OWE ALL THE HOMELESS
PEOPLE ARE OFF THE STREETS.
WELL THERE ARE STILL HOUSE
PEOPLE ALL OVER THE PLACE ARE
STILL SWEEPS.
THERE ARE STILL ALL THE
PROBLEMS WE HAD BEFORE.
IT'S JUST THAT NOW THEY'RE
TERRIFIED OF GETTING CLOBBERED
AND THEY'RE BREEDING WILDFIRE
SMOKE AND AND THEN YOU MOVE
PEOPLE INTO HOUSING AND
SUPPORTIVE SERVICES ARE NOT
BEING PROVIDED.
>> AND YOU KNOW, IN THE BELLY I
MEAN HALF THE TENANTS FROM
HOUSING FIRST.
I MEAN BASICALLY JUST RECREATED
THAT CRIMINAL NETWORK OF THE
JUNGLE IN OUR BUILDING. 
>> PEOPLE ARE AFRAID TO LEAVE
THEIR APARTMENTS.
THIS IS RIDICULOUS.
YOU KNOW, I DON'T WANT TO CALL
THE POLICE.
I WON'T HAVE ANY MORE POLICE
SHOOTING INSIDE A BUILDING THAT
I DON'T HAVE A WAY TO RESOLVE
IT. 
I CAN'T EVEN TALK TO ONSITE
MANAGER OR SECURITY WHEN THERE
IS AN INCIDENT BECAUSE THEY'RE
NOT AVAILABLE.
>> AND YOUR VOTE NEEDS TO BE
HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR NOT DOING
A GOOD JOB.
>> AND THE PEOPLE PAID TO DO
OUTREACH.
THE HOMELESS ON THE STREET
ENERGY NOT DOING IT AND THE
VOLUNTEERS ARE DOING IT.
THEY NEED TO BE HELD
ACCOUNTABLE TO WE'RE SPENDING A
LOT OF MONEY ON THEIR SERVICES
THAT THEY'RE NOT DOING.
>> THANK YOU. 
THANK YOU.
WILSON AND TESSIE, CAN YOU HEAR
ME? 
>> YES, WE CAN.
>> OK, THANK YOU SO MUCH AGAIN.
I WASN'T PLANNING THIS BUT I
WOULD LIKE TO SHARE WITH YOU
OF MY EXPERIENCE.
I WORK FOR THE SECOND HARVEST
WITH BANK FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS
AND ONE OF THOSE YEARS I WAS
THE CARDIO OR CHAIR LITTLE OR
CHAIR IS STATIONED THERE FOR
ONE ENTIRE YEAR.
AND THE THINGS THAT I SAW AND
HEARD IN WITNESS WERE
HEARTBREAKING.
NUMBER ONE, I ONLY HAVE
EXPERIENCE WITH THE PEOPLE THAT
WERE HOMELESS THAT WERE COMING
TO THAT CENTER.
OK.
THE PEOPLE THAT WORK AT THE
FRONT DESK WERE ABSOLUTELY
BRUTAL TO ALL THE HOMELESS
REGARDLESS WHETHER HE WAS A
DISABILITY.
DRUGS, GAY OR LESS.
AND MILTON, THEY WERE KICKED
OUT A CERTAIN TIME OF THE DAY.
WE'RE NOT ALLOWED IN IF THEY
HAD THEIR PROPERTY IN THE
LITTLE CUBICLES.
THEY DIDN'T RETURN BY 8:00. 
THE PEOPLE THE PERSON WHO WILL
GO TO THE CUBICLES THROW AWAY
THEIR PERSONAL THINGS.
WE'RE TALKING WALLETS WHERE
I.D. COMPUTERS AND EVERYTHING. 
IF I WERE TO BE HOMELESS I
WOULDN'T WANT TO BE IN A PLACE
WHERE I AM TREATED LIKE A SUB.
BEEPS OK. 
SOME PEOPLE WOULD PREFER TO TAP
.
WE HAVE THE POLICE CALL SO THEY
CAN SPEND TWO OR THREE DAYS IN
JAIL WITH FAR MORE SECURITY
THAN THEY HAVE IN SIGHT THERE.
THEY ROB ONE ANOTHER.
THEY STILL ONE ANOTHER.
THEY AND MOST OF THE PROBLEMS
THAT WE HAD IN SERVING THAT
COMMUNITY WAS BECAUSE THEY LOST
THEIR I.D. OR THEY EVEN CARS
BECAUSE SOMEONE ELSE STOLE IT
OR IT WAS THROWN AWAY. 
SO IT IS ABSOLUTELY BRUTAL. 
THERE IS NO LOVE AND KINDNESS
ON THAT PARTICULAR SENTENCE.
AT WHAT POINT IN TIME THEY EVEN
PROHIBIT PEOPLE FROM USING THE
BATHROOM A KEY JT SO IT WAS A
GREAT PLAN THAT WE'VE SEEN BUT
I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT THAT WE
REMEMBER THAT SAN JOSE HAS OVER
6000 HOMELESS AND EVERYBODY
KNOWS THE ISSUES ONLY GETTING
WORSE.
>> WHAT IS MISSING HERE IS
MENTION OF TRANSITIONAL HOUSING
.
SO WHAT WE COULD DO IS HAVE A
SANCTION ENCAMPMENT IN EVERY
DISTRICT ULTIMATELY AND I'LL
GIVE YOU TWO EXAMPLES IN
MODESTO.
THEY HAVE OVER TWO HUNDRED
PEOPLE CENTRALIZED IN ONE HUGE
LOT. 
THOSE ARE INDIVIDUAL TENTS IN
THE CITY OF SAN DIEGO.
THEY HAVE HUGE TENTS EACH
HOUSES HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE. 
>> AND IN THAT SCENARIO OR IN
EITHER YOU CAN HAVE MEDICAL
TREATMENTS CENTRALIZED IN ONE
PLACE, YOU CAN KEEP PEOPLE WARM
DURING WINTER OR COLD DURING
SUMMER AND REALLY YOU WOULD
STOP THE BLEEDING BECAUSE WE WE
HAVE WE HAVE AN ISSUE THAT IS
MORE THAN A FEW DOZEN PEOPLE
AT A TIME.
>> AND WE NEED TO HOUSE
HUNDREDS AT A TIME AND IF WE
DON'T START THINKING BIG, WE'RE
NOT GOING TO GET IN FRONT
OF THIS ISSUE.
THANKS A.
>> Q ROBERT YEAH. 
LITTLE HIPPIE.
>> CAN YOU HEAR ME?
YES.
OK. 
OH.
>> ALL RIGHT.
LET ME GET THAT.
CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW? 
YEAH.
>> HOW ABOUT NOW?
OK.
THAT BETTER?
ALL RIGHT.
SO FIRST OF ALL, THE IDEA
OF CALLING THIS THE COMMUNITY
PLAN TO END HOMELESSNESS IS A
RIDICULOUS THING.
THIS IS ON THE TAIL END OF A
FIVE YEAR PROGRAM TO END
HOMELESSNESS ON TOP OF ANOTHER
FIVE YEAR ON TOP OF A 10 YEAR
PROGRAM.
WE'VE BEEN WE'VE ENDING
HOMELESSNESS AND IT HAS NEVER
DECREASED IS ALWAYS INCREASED.
AND SO THAT'S ONE ISSUE.
THE OTHER ISSUE THAT I DON'T
SEE WHERE WE'RE ADVOCATES ARE
BEING INCLUDED IN THIS
DISCUSSION WHEN WE HAVE A LOT
OF PEOPLE THAT HAVE A LOT
OF EXPERIENCE THAT HAVE BEEN
GOING OUT INTO ENCAMPMENTS FOR
A VERY LONG TIME AND YOU KNOW
THAT EVERYBODY ON THAT COUNCIL
KNOWS WHO THESE PEOPLE ARE.
WE KEEP THE MEETINGS.
WE TALK ABOUT STUFF ALL THE
TIME.
WE DON'T JUST COME AT ONE YOU
KNOW, ONE TIME WHERE WE'RE
GONNA SAY HERE'S THE PLAN.
WE'VE BEEN WORKING ON.
AND HERE IT IS.
WE WE WORK ON THIS STUFF ALL
THE TIME.
AND THE IDEA OF NOT INCLUDING
THE ADVOCATES IN THIS PROCESS
IS ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS AND
INSULTING THE PASSION THAT
PEOPLE HAVE TO DO THIS ON A DAY
TO DAY BASIS, GO OUT AND
SERVICE THE PEOPLE AND AND HAVE
HAVE COMMUNICATION WITH THE
PEOPLE, DEVELOP RELATIONSHIPS
WITH THE PEOPLE AND THEN JUST
TO BE CAST ASIDE LIKE I LIKE
WHAT WE DO DOESN'T REALLY
MATTER.
>> I ALSO WANT TO SAY THAT THE
REPRESENTATION ON THIS THING
ARE ALL PEOPLE FROM DESTINATION
HOMES.
THEY'RE NOT PEOPLE FROM ALL
OVER THE COUNTY OR ALL OVER THE
CITY.
AND THE THIRD THING I WANT TO
TALK ABOUT IS WHY WOULD YOU
HAVE THIS SAME TOPIC BEING
DISCUSSED AT BOTH THE CITY
COUNCIL AND THE THE BOARD
OF SUPERVISORS AT THE SAME TIME
?
WHAT LOGIC IS THERE IN THAT
OTHER THAN TO TRY TO DIVIDE
PEOPLE THAT WOULD BE COMING IN
AND MAKING COMMENTS? 
I MEAN IT'S ALSO IT'S VERY
INSULTING AND WE COULD DO
THINGS DIFFERENTLY AND CONSIDER
THE ADVOCATES AT ALL TIME.
THANK YOU, RON.
BLAIR THANK YOU.
I NEED MY SPEECH HERE.
VERY GOOD WORDS FROM ROBERT.
THANK YOU.
TO TRY TO OFFER SOME
CONSTRUCTIVE IDEAS FROM THAT
THE CITY AS IS HELD A FEW
PUBLIC MEETINGS THROUGHOUT
AUGUST TO DISCUSS SOME
INTERESTING IDEAS FROM THE
FEDERAL HOUSING AGENCY HUD WHO
JUST BEAT YOUR HOMELESSNESS AND
LOW INCOME HOUSING NEEDS
AT THIS TIME COVID 19 WITH THE
HELP OF THE PUBLIC.
>> THIS PAST MONTH I HOPE GOOD
IDEAS AND GOOD PLANS ARE LINING
UP AND BEING UNDERSTOOD BY ALL
SIDES.
I HOPE WE CAN MAKE THE EFFORTS
TO RETURN TO OUR GOOD PRACTICES
PRE COVID 19 AS MIXED INCOME
IDEAS AND AFFORDABLE HOUSING
IDEAS ARE VERY LOW AND
EXTREMELY LOW INCOME.
WE'RE GROWING PRE-K OVER 19 AND
IMPORTANT WAYS TO ADDRESS THE
CONCEPTS OF EQUITY AND WHAT CAN
BE MORE PRACTICAL POSITIVE LONG
TERM COMMUNITY SUSTAINABILITY
IDEAS JUST SPEAK OF HUMAN
RIGHTS FOR BOTH OWNERS AND
TENANTS RIGHTS AT THIS TIME
I'VE.
I HAVE TRIED TO STATE HERE FOR
MONTHS NOW THE CITY BERKELEY
HAS A SET OF IMPORTANT EXAMPLES
OF FULL RENT FORGIVENESS, AN
EVICTION MORATORIUM POLICIES
INTO MID 2021.
SO EVERYONE CAN BE CLEAR WITH
EACH OTHER ON WHAT CAN BE WHAT
CAN BE WORKED TOWARDS THE STATE
LEVEL.
THESE ARE IDEAS TO CREATE UNITY
TOWARDS A COMMON GOOD CAUSE AND
GOAL AND THAT RESPECTS HUMAN
RIGHTS AND AND CIVIL RIGHTS
IDEAS FOR BOTH TENANTS AND
OWNERS.
IT IS EVERYONE AT BERKELEY TO
UNDERSTAND TOGETHER DECENT
MINDED NON PRESSURISED IDEAS,
PRACTICAL REASONABLE THINKING
AND A DIFFICULT TIME AND THAT
WANTS TO LIMIT THE COURT
PROCESS BETWEEN OWNERS AND
TENANTS WHO MISREPRESENT AND
HURT EACH OTHER OFTEN IS
USUALLY BASED ON FEAR OR
IRRATIONALITY AND UNINFORMED
DECISION MAKING CLOSED. 
AND AS A CITY GOVERNMENT
BUREAUCRATIC ADVOCATES USUALLY
MAKE IT DIFFICULT TO BE MORE
OPEN TO EXPLAIN AND FACILITATE
A GOOD LANGUAGE.
BOTH OWNERS AND TENANTS TO
UNDERSTAND RENT FORGIVENESS
OPTIONS AND MORATORIUM PROCESS
CURRENTLY AVAILABLE AND
SAN JOSE AND THAT CAN BE
DEVELOPED IN INCREMENTS IN THE
NEXT FEW YEARS, THE NEXT FIVE
YEARS AND THE NEXT 10 YEARS. 
ALL OF THESE OPTIONS HAVE TO BE
CONSIDERED.
HOWEVER B 14 THIRTY WILL
EVENTUALLY DEVELOP IN THE NEXT
FEW WEEKS AND MONTHS. 
THANK YOU.
THANK YOU.
VERONICA CLAY THANK YOU AND
GOOD AFTERNOON COUNSEL AND
THANK YOU FOR THE PRESENTATION.
>> THANK YOU FOR HIGHLIGHTING
THAT THE OBSTACLES AND THAT THE
INCREASE IN HOMELESSNESS THAT
WE'VE SEEN AND THAT WE ARE
SEEING.
I DO WANT TO HIGHLIGHT THAT
ALLAN ROCK CORRIDOR.
THAT'S WHAT WE'RE CALLING NEW. 
YOU KNOW WHAT THEY WANT TO DO
WITH APARTMENTS THERE.
THIS COULD BE ACTUALLY FOR OUR
COMMUNITY INSTEAD IT'S NOT.
INSTEAD THEY'RE PUTTING LEAST
TWO HUNDRED TWO HUNDRED AND
TWENTY APARTMENTS 40 ARE GOING
TO BE ALLOCATED ONLY FOR
FAMILIES THAT MAKE ANYWHERE
FROM 90 TO ONE HUNDRED AND
THIRTY A YEAR. 
SO I JUST WANT TO ASK WHO MAKES
THAT RIGHT?
WHO MAKES UP HERE? 
OUT IN ALLAN ROCK?
I DON'T THINK MOST OF OUR
FAMILIES DO. 
AND THIS AGAIN THAT CORRIDOR IS
NOT MEANT FOR FAMILIES.
MOST OF THEM ARE JUST A ONE
BEDROOM APARTMENT.
WHO ARE WE ATTRACTING?
WE ARE ATTRACTING THE
TECHNOLOGY PEOPLE WE ARE
TRACKING THE SINGLE PEOPLE.
WE'RE NOT AGAIN FOSTERING OUR
FAMILIES AND WE'RE NOT TAKING
IN CONSIDERATION OUR FAMILIES
AND OUR COMMUNITY.
THOSE APARTMENTS ARE NOT
CULTURALLY RESPONSIVE EITHER TO
OUR COMMUNITY.
SO PLEASE PAY ATTENTION TO IT
SPECIFICALLY TO THE ALAN ROARK
COURT OR BECAUSE INSTEAD OF US
REALLY TRYING TO END
HOMELESSNESS WE'RE GOING TO END
UP WITH MORE FAMILIES HAVING TO
LEAVE OUR COUNTY OUR CITY AND
HAVING TO BE DISLOCATED. 
>> PLEASE PAY ATTENTION TO THIS
ISLAND RAIL CORRIDOR.
IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT WE
GIVE IT TO OUR FAMILIES, THAT
WE GIVE IT TO OUR COMMUNITY AND
NOT BRING PEOPLE FROM OUTSIDE
THAT COMMUNITY.
THANK YOU. 
THANK YOU.
DIEP NEW DIEP. 
>> I'M SO SORRY.
>> OKAY.
YES I DID.
DAILY I AM A RESIDENT A.J. AND
A OWNER OF HOUSING PROVIDER AND
I THINK YOU KNOW THE CITY
OF SAN JOSE AND THE COUNTY
OTHER AUTHORITY AND THE PEOPLE
OF THE HOUSING DEPARTMENT
SPECIFICALLY WHO ARE PUTTING
THEIR ATTENTION ON A TERRIBLE
PROBLEM THAT SURVEYED IT
OF COURSE BY KOGUT 19 AND I
JUST WANTED TO MAKE A COUPLE
OF COMMENTS ON MY OWN ONE DAY. 
>> YOU KNOW, THEY TALK ABOUT
THE RACE AND RACISM AND
WHATEVER.
AND AS FAR AS HOMELESSNESS IS
CONCERNED, THERE ARE ISSUES
THAT CUT ACROSS ALL RACES THAT
AFFECT HOMELESSNESS SUBSTITUTE.
I MEAN SUBSTANCE ABUSE, BREAKUP
FAMILIES, ECONOMIC LOSS OF JOBS
WHICH OF COURSE IS PROBABLY THE
BIGGEST ISSUE RIGHT NOW AMONG
PEOPLE.
BUT I I'M GLAD THAT THE GONNA
BE ENGAGEMENT WITH THE
COMMUNITY.
OF COURSE THOSE THAT ARE
HOUSING PROVIDERS HAVE BEEN AN
ISSUE WITH AN ISSUE FOR A LONG
TIME.
AND YOU'RE ASKED TO ENDORSE A
ADDRESSED THE ROOT CAUSES
OF HOMELESSNESS SYSTEM AND
POLICY CHANGE AND I'M REFERRING
TO SPECIFICALLY STRATEGY ONE
NUMBER FOUR B AND THAT SAYS
STRENGTHEN RENT CONTROL AND
TENANT PROTECTIONS AND THAT
AT LEAST SHOULD REQUIRE THE
ACTIVE ENGAGEMENT OF THE PEOPLE
THAT ARE ACTUALLY HAVE THE
HOUSING THAT'S AVAILABLE.
AND I'M SURE YOU'VE HEARD
PLENTY AND YOU'LL HEAR MORE
ABOUT THE DANGERS OF LOCAL RENT
CONTROL. 
WE HAVE A LOT MORE THAN WE USED
TO AND SOME ADVOCATES THERE
SPECIFICALLY WHEN THEY TALK
ABOUT MORATORIUMS ARE GOING
DOWN A DANGEROUS PATH.
SO I HOPE GOING FORWARD THAT WE
THE HOUSING PROVIDERS WILL BE
FULLY ENGAGED.
THANK YOU.
THANK YOU, SASHA. 
>> THANK EVERYONE FOR WORKING
ON THIS VERY IMPORTANT AND
CRITICAL ISSUE. 
>> IT HAS BECOME VERY APPARENT
WAS THE COVID PANDEMIC THAT WE
NEED TO SOLVE IT REALLY
URGENTLY.
>> AND I JUST WANTED TO ADDRESS
A FEW ISSUES I THINK THAT WERE
NOT MENTIONED.
SO IN STRATEGY ONE. 
YOU DID NOT SPECIFY AS A ROOT
CAUSE MENTAL HEALTH AND
SUBSTANCE ABUSE AND IN MANY
RESEARCHES IT IS.
THOSE ARE ONE OF THE MAJOR
CAUSES OF HOMELESSNESS. 
>> YOU DID ADDRESS IT IN
STRATEGY THREE AND I TOTALLY
AGREE THAT MENTAL HEALTH CAN
DETERIORATE SIGNIFICANTLY
BECAUSE OF THE HOMELESSNESS BUT
IT IS ALSO A ROOT CAUSE OF THE
ISSUE AND I WOULD LIKE TO SEE
THAT AND I ALSO DON'T HEAR HOW
YOU WOULD ADDRESS THOSE FOLKS
WHO CHOOSE TO LIVE ON THE
STREETS OR WHATEVER.
THEY HAVE REASONS THEY LIKE THE
LIFESTYLE, THE FREEDOM. 
AND IF YOU ACTUALLY TALK TO
HOMELESS PEOPLE THERE IS A
NUMBER OF THOSE.
AND I ALSO WANTED TO THANK DEAN
FOR ADDRESSING THE RENT CONTROL
IS DANGEROUS.
IT PREVENTS ITS WAS ALL THE
TENANT PROTECTION LAWS.
>> IT MAKES VERY SECURITY FOR
LANDLORDS TO ACTUALLY RENT OUT
AND WHICH I CAN CONTRIBUTE EVEN
SHORTAGE OF HOUSING.
SO AGAIN, THAT'S A GRAY AREA.
I WISH EVERYONE WOULD BE HOUSED
BUT WE NEED TO TAKE THOSE
MEASURES VERY CAREFULLY.
THANK YOU.
>> THANK YOU.
ANTHONY ANTHONY, TAKE YOURSELF
OUT.
>> YOU ANTHONY, ARE YOU THERE? 
>> WE LOST ANTHONY SO WE ARE
GOING TO GO BACK TO COUNCIL AND
COUNCIL MEMBER CARMEN THANK YOU
AND THANK YOU FOR THE
PRESENTATION. 
>> I AM I WASN'T UNSYMPATHETIC
,ROBERT, BECAUSE YOU KNOW,
I'VE BEEN IN OFFICE FOR SEVEN
AND A HALF YEARS AND WE'VE HAD
PLAN AFTER PLAN AFTER PLAN AND
IT FEELS LIKE REALLY WE HAVEN'T
MOVED DYING VERY FAR AND I KNOW
THAT WE HAVE HAD HOUSE A LOT
OF PEOPLE BUT WE'VE GONE THE
OTHER DIRECTION WITH THE
STRATEGIES THAT WE HAVE BEEN
PURSUING THUS FAR. 
>> I ALSO.
YOU GUYS MENTIONED THAT YOU
WORKED WITH A BUSINESS THE
BUSINESS COMMUNITY BUT THERE
WAS NO BUSINESS COMMUNITY LOGOS
IN YOUR PRESENTATION.
WHAT BUSINESS COMMUNITY'S DID
YOU WORK WITH MY MUTED NOW.
>> OKAY.
WOULD YOU WANT TO ANSWER THAT
QUESTION BECAUSE I KNOW THERE'S
A WHOLE GROUP I DON'T CARE.
RAY REAGAN, WHOEVER WHOEVER
FILLS UP THAT I MEAN LIKE RAY
WHAT'S CERTAIN IS CERTAINLY I
DON'T REMEMBER SO WE WE DID A
OUTREACH TO A NUMBER
OF DIFFERENT FOCUS GROUPS THAT
INCLUDED MEMBERS FROM THE
BUSINESS COMMUNITY FROM CENTERS
AND THROUGHOUT SANTA CLARA
COUNTY ON THE STEERING
COMMITTEE ITSELF WE HAD ONE
REPRESENTATIVE FROM THE
BUSINESS COMMUNITY AND THAT WAS
CISCO AND CISCO JOINED US AS
PART OF WAS A PART OF THE
BLOOMBERG INITIATIVE SEVERAL
MONTHS BEFORE THAT THE MAYOR
AND THE CITY HAD CREATED .
>> SO WE CONTINUED ON INTO THE
STEERING COMMITTEE SO WE COULD
HAVE A CORPORATE VOICE IN THE
DISCUSSION AND AS ONE
OF SANDERS'S LARGEST EMPLOYERS
SEEMED LIKE A GOOD
REPRESENTATIVE FROM THE
BUSINESS SIDE.
>> SO YOU HAD CISCO I LOOK UP
IF YOU FORGIVE ME FOR SAYING
THIS.
YOU'RE TRYING TO TACKLE THE
HOUSING PROG PROG PROBLEM WITH
A NETWORK ENGINEERING FIRM.
>> I WOULD SAY WHAT WOULD BE
BETTER IS IF WE REACHED OUT TO
THE REAL ESTATE ASSOCIATION OR
THE CALIFORNIA APARTMENT
ASSOCIATION. 
IF YOU WANTED TO PURSUE
BUSINESS SOLUTIONS I'VE BEEN
TALKING ABOUT BUYING VERSUS
BUILDING. 
I FEEL LIKE IT'S GONE DEAF
YEARS AND I KNOW THAT A LOT
OF MONEY'S RESTRICTED.
BUT YOU KNOW SOME OF THE
ORGANIZATIONS AT THE TABLE YOUR
MONEY'S NOT RESTRICTED AND AND
I THINK THAT IT'S REALLY
IMPORTANT FOR US TO IT TAKES
FOREVER TO BUILD SOMETHING IT
DOESN'T TAKE MUCH TIME AT ALL
COMPARATIVELY TO BUY SOMETHING.
IT'S WORKED WITH THE PLAZA
HOTEL AND I KNOW WE DON'T HAVE
TO WE DON'T EVEN HAVE TO BUY
FIXER UPPERS WITH THE MONEY
THAT'S COMING IN FROM MEASURE E
AND SOME AND SOME OF THE MONEY
THAT'S COMING IN FROM THE
CISCOS AND AND THE APPLES WHAT
HAVE YOU.
I THINK WE NEED TO DO TO
ACTUALLY REALLY ENGAGE PEOPLE
IN THE REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT
COMMUNITY SO THAT WE CAN GET
BACK BUSINESS SOLUTIONS REAL
BUSINESS SOLUTIONS AT THE
TABLE.
>> AND I YOU KNOW, I AM GOING
TO BRING THAT SUGGESTION UP AND
I HOPE THAT YOU REALLY DO
INCORPORATE BUSINESS BECAUSE
BUILDING AT 700 TO 800 DOLLARS
A SQUARE FOOT. 
IT'S NOT YOU KNOW, WE COULD TAX
FOREVER. 
WE JUST WON'T GET THE INVENTORY
THAT WE ACTUALLY NEED.
SO SO I'M HOPING THAT THIS THISI
THINK THIS IS MY THIRD TIME
THAT I'VE HEARD OF IT OF A
COLLABORATIVE EFFORT AND I HOPE
THIS WORKS. 
BUT PLEASE DO ACTUALLY GET GET
SCORE AT THE TABLE SILVER
WHOEVER GET GET THEM AT THE
TABLE AND FIND OUT HOW TO
ACQUIRE PIECES OF PROPERTY
FASTER THAN WE'RE CURRENTLY
DOING IT.
AND I KNOW THAT YOU KNOW, IF
YOU'RE E BRINGS IN SOME MONEY
WE SHOULD BE LOOKING AT BUYING
APARTMENT BUILDINGS AND THERE'S
THERE'S ALL KINDS OF TAX
ADVANTAGES THAT WE CAN TAKE
ADVANTAGES OF .
I HAVE BEEN TALKING TO PEOPLE
IN THE REAL ESTATE INDUSTRY AND
IT WOULD BEHOOVE US TO TAKE A
LOOK AT SOME OF THEIR IDEAS.
BUT THAT'S MY FIRST
OBSERVATION.
>> AS FAR AS LOOKING AT WAYS TO
END SOME OF THE HOMELESSNESS, I
KNOW THAT THERE WAS A PILOT IN
GILROY ON A CAMPING PILOT IN
GILROY AND I MENTIONED IN YOUR
IN YOUR PRESENTATION DIEP DO
YOU KNOW HOW THAT'S GOING AND
THAT AND THAT'S RUN BY THE
COUNTY.
SO MAYBE A COUNTY OFFICIAL. 
>> A PILOT.
WHAT KIND OF PILOT PROGRAM?
SORRY. 
IT'S A BASICALLY A CAMPING
PROGRAM LIKE A LITTLE
LEGITIMIZED LIKE A TEMPORARY
CAMPING PROGRAM.
>> CATHERINE, I THINK THE
COUNCIL MEMBERS REFERRING TO
DURING COMPASSION CENTER'S
CAMPING PROGRAM WHICH IS NOT
NOT A COUNTY PROGRAM THERE IS A
SAFE PARKING PROGRAM THAT
MORGAN HILL IS OPERATING IN
PARTNERSHIP WITH THE COUNTY.
>> OKAY.
>> SO THAT MAYBE GILROY.
OK.
DO YOU HAVE ANY INFORMATION ON
THAT?
HOW WELL IT'S WORKING.
>> I DON'T.
I CAN REPORT I CAN FIND OUT
MORE AND REPORT BACK.
BUT LIKE GRACE SAID, IT'S NOT A
COUNTY FUNDED PROGRAM SO I
DON'T HAVE INFORMATION ON IT
AT THIS TIME.
OKAY.
>> WELL, I'D LOVE TO SEE IF
THAT EFFORT'S WORKING AND IF IT
COULD BE DUPLICATED.
YOU KNOW, MAYBE WE MAYBE WE
COULD TRY IT.
>> AND AS SOMEBODY ELSE HAD
SAID THIS ALSO SOME OF THE
COMMENTERS.
>> WHAT'S THE STRATEGY OF FOR
WORKING WITH PEOPLE WHO REFUSE
SERVICE?
I KNOW THE COUNTY BRINGS IT UP
ALL THE TIME WHEN THEY TALK
ABOUT HOMELESSNESS.
I THINK THEY USE THE PHRASE
SERVICE RESISTANT OR SOMETHING
LIKE THAT.
WHAT'S THE STRATEGY TO DEAL
WITH THE SERVICE RESISTANT? 
>> DO YOU MEAN TO TAKE THAT? 
JACKIE YES.
SO FROM THAT FROM THE COUNTY
SIDE, YOU KNOW, ONE OF THE
STRATEGIES THAT WE USE IS WE
HAVE HOMELESS MENTALLY ILL
OUTREACH TEAM THAT IS
SPECIFICALLY FOCUSED ON
ENGAGING WITH FOLKS WHO ARE
CHALLENGING TO ENGAGE AND HAVE
SERIOUS MENTAL ILLNESS.
SO THEY ARE YOU KNOW, TAKE THEY
HAVE REPEATED ENGAGEMENT WITH
THOSE INDIVIDUALS TO TRY TO
BUILD RELATIONSHIPS AND CONDUCT
THE ASSESSMENTS SO TO CONDUCT
HOUSING ASSESSMENTS TO BETTER
UNDERSTAND THEIR NEEDS, REFER
THEM TO SERVICES.
THOSE THOSE EFFORTS HAVE BEEN
FAIRLY SUCCESSFUL.
SO WE'RE LOOKING AT EXPANDING
THOSE TYPES OF EFFORTS TO
ENGAGE WITH FOLKS WITH MENTAL
ILLNESS ON THE STREET CUSTOMER
MUTED. 
>> I APOLOGIZE.
I HAVE A BACKGROUND NOISE AND I
DIDN'T WANT THE FAMILY WAY IN
HERE.
BACKGROUND I I I APPRECIATE YOU
TAKING A LOOK AT MENTAL MENTAL
HEALTH AND I HAVE BEEN TAKING A
LOOK AT MENTAL HEALTH FOR MANY,
MANY YEARS AS ONE OF THE ROOT
CAUSES AND AND I THINK THAT THE
COUNTY IS RESISTANT TO USE
THEIR WORDS TO WORKING ON
ISSUES OF MENTAL HEALTH IN A
WAY THAT IS A LITTLE BIT MORE
AGGRESSIVE.
AND I THINK THAT WE NEED TO
LOOK AT ALL REASONS WHY PEOPLE
ARE RESISTING HEALTH AND I'D
LOVE TO HEAR OTHER STRATEGIES
OTHER THAN, YOU KNOW, BASICALLY
TELL ME THAT THE COUNTY'S DOING
A LITTLE BIT MORE ON MENTAL
ILLNESS. 
I'D LOVE TO HAVE AN
UNDERSTANDING OF HOW WE CAN
DEAL WITH PEOPLE WHO JUST DON'T
WANT TO GET HELP AND WHAT ARE
WHAT ARE OUR OPTIONS TO DEAL
WITH THEM. 
COUNCIL MEMBER I THINK YOU
KNOW, UNDER STRATEGY THREE
OF THE COMMUNITY PLAN WHICH IS
REALLY THE FOCUS ON UNSHELTERED
RESIDENTS THERE IS A CALL FOR
THE CREATION OF A
MULTIDISCIPLINARY TEAM THAT IS
WORKING ACROSS DEPARTMENTS AND
ACROSS AGENCIES TO KIND ADDRESS
THESE ISSUES THAT WE'RE SEEING
FOR FOLKS THAT ARE ON HOUSED
AND OUT ON THE STREETS IN
EXTREMELY VULNERABLE AND IN A
VARIETY OF CONDITIONS.
SO I THINK THERE IS A LOT
OF WORK THAT'S GOING INTO
THINKING ABOUT HOW WE CAN BEST
ADDRESS THOSE ISSUES RIGHT NOW
AND WHEN THIS PLANE COMES BACK
AS AN IMPLEMENTATION PLAN, I
THINK YOU'LL SEE THAT MORE
FLESHED OUT IS HOW THAT COULD
WORK IN THE CITY AND ACTUALLY
THE AT COUNTERMEASURE CAMPS.
>> THE COUNCIL FUNDING FOR THE
SOAR PROGRAM WHICH IS GOING TO
HAVE MULTIDISCIPLINARY TEAM
WHEN WE CAME FORWARD WITH OUR
ESG FUNDING AND THOSE TEAMS
THAT ARE THAT TEAM WILL FOCUS
ON THE 17 LARGEST ENCAMPMENTS
HERE IN THE CITY OF SAN JOSE TO
PILOT A MUCH MORE COORDINATED
INTERVENTION APPROACH WHICH
INCLUDES OUTREACH THAT HAS MORE
SERVICES ATTACHED TO IT.
>> IT INCLUDES THE BATHROOMS,
THE HANDWASHING STATIONS, THE
EDUCATION PLUS HOUSING
RESOURCES.
SO WE ARE TRYING TO HAVE THIS
TARGETED APPROACH TO SEE IF
CONSISTENCY AS CATHERINE HAD
ALREADY STATED THAT WHEN YOU
HAVE RESISTANT PEOPLE ONE
OF THE THINGS YOU HAVE TO DO IS
YOU NEED TO BUILD THOSE
RELATIONSHIPS AND YOU HAVE TO
HAVE THE RIGHT PEOPLE WHO ARE
ENGAGED WITH THE RIGHT
BACKGROUNDS AND SKILLS THAT CAN
HELP TO DO THAT AND SO WITH
THESE COMPREHENSIVE TEAMS WE'RE
GOING TO HAVE MUCH MORE OF A
BROADER GROUP OF PEOPLE WHO
MIGHT BE ABLE TO MAKE THOSE
CONNECTIONS TO GET THAT
MOVEMENT GOING.
>> AND I APPRECIATE THAT.
>> I KNOW I HAVE TO SAY I'VE
ALWAYS WISHED EVERYBODY A GOOD
LUCK BECAUSE I WANT TO SOLVE
THIS PROBLEM TOO.
AND I VOTED FOR MANY OF THE
THINGS THAT YOU'RE TALKING
ABOUT AND I JUST I JUST FEEL WE
NEED TO START LOOKING IF WE'RE
IF WE'RE REALLY GOING IF WE'RE
LOOKING AT SOLVING THE PROBLEM,
WE REALLY HAVE TO OPEN THE DOOR
TO A LOT MORE DIFFERENT IDEAS
BECAUSE I FEEL LIKE SOME
OF THESE IDEAS ARE PRETTY MUCH
THE SAME AND WE NEED TO START
LOOKING AT IT INCLUDING OTHER
PEOPLE IN THE DISCUSSION
INCLUDING BUSINESS PEOPLE AND
AND IN LOOKING AT DIFFERENT
WAYS TO INCREASE THE HOUSING
INVENTORY INCLUDING BUYING AND
LOOKING AT WAYS TO DEAL WITH
PEOPLE WHO ARE RESISTANT IN
DIFFERENT WAYS NOT JUST THE
SAME OLD TRIED WAYS.
I HOPE THAT THIS EFFORT PANS
OUT.
I REALLY DO AND I APPRECIATE
EVERYBODY'S PASSION ON TRYING
TO SOLVE THESE ISSUES BUT.
WELL, GOOD LUCK.
AND I'D LOVE TO HEAR ABOUT AN
UPDATE WHERE WE TALK ABOUT
OTHER OTHER THINGS THAT HAVE
BEEN TRIED LIKE THIS.
GILROY THING IT'S A PRIVATE
PRIVATELY FUNDED ORGANIZATION
THAT'S DOING THIS. 
>> KATHERINE KATZ MEMBER DAVIS
THANK YOU, MAYOR.
I JUST I WANT THANK THE TEAM
FOR ALL THE WORK YOU PUT IN TO
THIS THIS PLAN.
>> I COMPLETELY AGREE WITH. 
I THINK YOU HIT THE NAIL ON THE
HEAD WITH ALL.
WITH EACH OF THE THREE PILLARS
I DO WANT TO AMPLIFY ONE THING
SOMEBODY SAID ABOUT CALLING IT
THE COMMUNITY PLAN TO END
HOMELESSNESS AND CONTINUING TO
CALL IT THAT.
>> I MAYBE I'M A LITTLE BIT TOO
MUCH OF A WORD NERD BUT I THINK
AMELIORATE IS REALLY THE WORD
THAT WE THAT WE MEAN BECAUSE WE
DON'T WHEN WE SAY PLAN TO END
HOMELESSNESS.
>> AND THE PLAN IS 20, 20 TO 20
25.
I THINK THAT'S IT'S MISLEADING
TO THE COMMUNITY WHEN WE HAVE
NOW.
WE DID THE PLAN FROM 20 15 TO
20 19 AND MADE A TON
OF PROGRESS.
I MEAN NOT ONLY MET THE GOAL
ABOUT 6000 HOUSING
OPPORTUNITIES BUT ACTUALLY
HOUSED OVER 14 THOUSAND PEOPLE.
IT BUT WE DIDN'T.
BUT WE ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE
PROBLEM IS STILL GROWING.
>> AND AND SO I JUST I.
WORDS MATTER AND I THINK IT IT
STARTS TO BE A LITTLE BIT TO
1984 OR TO CONTINUE TO CALL IT
A COMMUNITY PLAN TO END
HOMELESSNESS.
>> THAT THAT DOES IT STILL
STICKS WITH ME.
SO I WANTED TO MAKE THAT POINT.
AND BUT I DO WANT TO SAY THE
PROGRESS THAT HAS BEEN MADE
SINCE 2015 IS ENORMOUS AND NOT
SOMETHING THAT WE WE HAVE TO
KEEP TALKING ABOUT BECAUSE I
THINK THERE'S STILL I THINK
THERE'S STILL A BELIEF IN THE
IN THE COMMUNITY THAT AS THEY
SEE THE AS THEY SEE THE NUMBER
OF HOMELESS PEOPLE GROW AND
BECOME MORE VISIBLE THAT WE'RE
NOT DOING ANYTHING AND THAT IS
DEFINITELY NOT THE CASE.
SO I AGREE WITH WITH COUNCIL
MEMBER QANTAS'S SUGGESTION THAT
WE SHOULD BE MORE INCLUSIVE
ABOUT INCLUDING THE BUSINESS
COMMUNITY AND I WOULD SAY THE
RESIDENTS AS WELL IN IN TALKING
ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND MY HOUSING
STAFF THE HOUSING STAFF THE
CITY KNOW VERY WELL THAT I HAVE
TRIED VERY HARD TO DO THAT OVER
THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS AND
AND HOW FRUITFUL THOSE
CONVERSATIONS CAN BE.
>> AND I DIDN'T SEE THAT IN
HERE SPECIFICALLY SO I WANTED
TO ASK HER, JACKIE SAY THERE'S
GONNA BE AN IMPLEMENTATION PLAN
.
SO ONE OF THE THINGS THAT KIND
OF CAME UP WHILE I WAS LOOKING
THROUGH THE PLAN IS THERE THE
TASKS UNDERNEATH THE STRATEGIES
ARE NOT ALL MEASURABLE AS THEY
ARE RIGHT NOW.
>> THERE ARE SOME UNDER
STRATEGY TWO THAT ARE BUT NOT
ALL OF THE STRATEGIES HAVE A
MEASURABLE YOU KNOW, IN THE WAY
THAT I THINK OF THEM SMART
GOALS SPECIFIC MEASURABLE, 
ACHIEVABLE, REALISTIC AND
TIMELY.
THOSE ARE THE SMART GOALS.
WE DON'T HAVE THAT.
IS THAT WHAT WE'RE GOING TO GET
IN THE IMPLEMENTATION PLAN? 
AND WHEN ARE WE GOING TO SEE
THAT? 
>> SO YES, WE PLAN TO COME BACK
WITH VERY SPECIFIC GOALS THAT
ARE DETAILED IN THE CITY PLAN
AND WE ARE YOU KNOW, WE'RE
TRYING TO MAKE IT TO THE
SPRING.
>> BUT I DO HAVE TO BE
REALISTIC THAT TO THE EXTENT
THAT HOUSING STAFF IS STILL
DEEPLY WORKING ON RESPONDING TO
THE COVID 19 OR WE HAVE TO
PIVOT TO SOME OTHER CRISIS, 
THEN OF COURSE THAT WILL BE
DELAYED.
>> BUT IF WE CAN THAT IS WHAT
OUR NEW TARGET IS ASSUMING THAT
OUR RESPONSIBILITIES BEGIN TO
LESSEN UNDER.
NINETEEN. 
>> THANK YOU.
I I APPRECIATE THAT.
AND THEN FOR THE COUNTY THAT
DOES THE COUNTY ALSO HAVE AN
IMPLEMENTATION PLAN BECAUSE
THERE ARE SOME ITEMS ESPECIALLY
UNDER STRATEGY ONE ADDRESSING
THE ROOT CAUSES LIKE SAFETY NET
SERVICES THAT ARE SPECIFIC TO
THE COUNTY AND NOT THE CITY.
WELL THOSE WILL THE COUNTY ALSO
BE DOING AN IMPLEMENTATION PLAN
AND WHAT IS THE TIMELINE FOR
THAT? 
>> KATHERINE KNOWS THAT I CAN
DO IT.
>> YES.
GOOD.
>> DID YOU NOTICE THAT WE HAVE
THE SAME? 
YES, WE HAVE THE COUNTY WILL BE
DOING IMPLEMENTATION PLAN AS
WELL AS WELL AS THE CONTINUUM
OF CARE REALLY IS LIKE THE
HOLDER OF THIS PLAN THAT IS AS
JACKIE MENTIONED EARLIER IS
REPRESENTATIVE OF THE CITY, THE
COUNTY OUR NONPROFIT PARTNERS
DESTINATION HOME.
SO WE HAVE IDENTIFIED THE
STEERING COMMITTEE AS
IDENTIFIED NEEDS FOR EACH
OF THESE AREAS OF WORK THAT
WILL HELP US DEVELOP THOSE
PLANS.
HELP US REPORT TRACK PROGRESS
AND BE ACCOUNTABLE TO OUR
ELECTED BODIES TO OUR LIVED
EXPERIENCE COMMUNITY TO THE
VARIOUS PARTNERS THAT WE
ENGAGED THROUGHOUT THIS
PROCESS.
SO I DON'T KNOW THE EXACT
TIMING ON WHEN WE WILL HAVE THE
YOU KNOW, SOMETHING PRESENT
BACK BUT WE ARE THE COUNTY WILL
HAVE A PLAN AS WELL.
WE'LL HAVE THE CSC SORT
OF IMPLEMENTATION ACROSS ALL
JURISDICTIONS AGENCY.
>> AND WILL THOSE INCLUDE MORE
MORE SPECIFICS LIKE THIS LIKE
SMART GOALS FOR EACH OF THE
ITEMS?
>> YEAH, I WE WILL HAVE ANNUAL
TARGETS. 
I THINK A LOT OF THIS WORK YOU
KNOW, SETTING A FIVE YEAR SET
SOME BIG FIVE YEAR GOALS.
BUT IN ORDER TO REACH THOSE
FIVE YEAR GOALS WE'RE GOING TO
AS A COMMUNITY YOU HAVE TO SET
SOME SOME SHORTER AND MEDIUM
TERM TARGETS THAT ARE
MEASURABLE. 
BUT WE WILL REPORT BACK.
>> RIGHT.
YEAH.
THANK YOU.
I APPRECIATE THAT.
AND THEN I KNOW I TOUCHED ON
THAT THAT OUTREACH AND WANTING
TO MAKE SURE THAT THAT THE
COMMUNITY IS INVOLVED.
AND I JUST WANT TO PUT A FINER
POINT ON NOT FOR EVERYONE
ESPECIALLY AROUND PERMANENT
SUPPORTIVE HOUSING AND INTERIM
SITES.
>> IT HAS BEEN AGAIN MY
EXPERIENCE THAT HAVING THE
NEIGHBORHOOD INVOLVED AND
HAVING THE COMMUNITY INVOLVED
IN THAT IS MAKES FOR NOT ONLY A
BETTER PROJECT FOR FOR EVERYONE
THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND THE END
THE CLIENTS BEING SERVED
AT THIS SITE. 
>> BUT JUST OVERALL IT MAKES
FOR A MORE A MORE COHESIVE
COMMUNITY.
>> AND AND THERE THERE IS GIVEN
TAKE THERE THAT THAT MAY NOT
HAPPEN IF IT'S SET UP TO NOT
HAVE A RELATIONSHIP WITH
SOMEBODY HAD MENTIONED BUILDING
RELATIONSHIPS AMONG.
I THINK JACKIE MAYBE YOU TALKED
ABOUT IT.
HAVING THE RIGHT PEOPLE
BUILDING RELATIONSHIPS WITH THE
SORT PROGRAM.
I WOULD JUST LIKE TO PUT OUT
THERE THAT I THINK IT'S
IMPORTANT TO DO THAT IN THE
NEIGHBORHOODS TO WHEN YOU HAVE
SOLUTIONS TO CONTINUE THAT
PROCESS TO STRENGTHEN
RELATIONSHIPS IN THE
NEIGHBORHOOD AMONGST THE
RESIDENTS WHO ARE ALREADY THERE
AND THE RESIDENTS WHO COME INTO
THE NEW WHETHER IT'S PERMANENT
SUPPORTIVE HOUSING OR WHATEVER
THE SOLUTION IS THAT COMES INTO
THAT COMMUNITY.
SO IF IT WASN'T.
>> YEAH I JUST WANT TO JUMP IN
AT THAT POINT BECAUSE I I FEEL
LIKE SOMETIMES BECAUSE WE'VE
HAD SOME CHALLENGING
EXPERIENCES ESPECIALLY WHEN WE
WERE TRYING TO CITE THE INTERIM
HOUSING FACILITIES. 
YOU KNOW, THE REALITY IS WE
HAVE NOT HAD THOSE SAME
CHALLENGES INCITING OUR
PERMANENT SUPPORTIVE HOUSING
MOSTLY BECAUSE THE TEENS HAVE
DONE SUCH A GOOD JOB IN
ENGAGING THE NEIGHBORHOODS AND
TRYING TO GET AHEAD OF IT SO
THAT WE COULD BRING A PROJECT
WHERE WE'RE GETTING MORE
COMMUNITY SUPPORT VERSUS LESS
AND THAT WORK HAS BEEN DONE BY
THE DEVELOPERS WITH THE HELP
OF DESTINATION HOME AND OTHER
NONPROFITS, THE SERVICE
PROVIDERS WHO ARE ALL COMING
TOGETHER DURING LESSONS LEARNED
AND REALLY TRYING TO BE AS
PROACTIVE AS POSSIBLE.
>> AND I CAN TELL YOU THAT IT
IS EXHAUSTING WORK FOR EVERYONE
AS WELL BECAUSE IT'S ABOVE AND
BEYOND ANY KIND OF EXPECTATION
THAT ANYONE WOULD HAVE FOR A
MARKET RATE DEVELOPMENT. 
AND SO THE LEVEL ABOUT WHICH
WE'RE DOING IS JUST
EXTRAORDINARY TO TRY TO GET
THESE DEVELOPMENTS TO YOU ALL
WITH THE LEAST AMOUNT
OF OPPOSITION AND SO FAR WE
HAVE BEEN VERY SUCCESSFUL ON
THE PERMANENT HOUSING SIDE.
>> SO I WANT TO GIVE KUDOS TO
THE TEAMS THAT ARE DOING THAT
WORK AND WE WILL CONTINUE TO DO
THAT.
GREAT.
>> I'M I'M VERY GLAD TO HEAR
THAT.
AND I WOULD I WOULD JUST LIKE
TO ALSO SUGGEST THAT FOR FOUR
COUNCIL MEMBERS THAT HAVE THESE
SITES WHEN WE HAD AN OVERNIGHT
WARMING LOCATION AT BASCOM, I'M
SURE MY COLLEAGUES ARE ALL
ROLLING THEIR EYES.
I HAVE THEIR CAMERAS OFF
BECAUSE I'VE TALKED ABOUT THIS
MANY TIMES BUT IT WAS HELPFUL
TO US TO HAVE VERY COUNCIL
MEMBER.
DEB, THANK YOU FOR SHOWING IT
ON YOUR VIDEO.
FOR AS WE HAVE THE OVERNIGHT
WARMING LOCATION WE HAD MONTHLY
MEETINGS WITH NEIGHBORS AND
CLIENTS AND THAT WAS HELPFUL AS
WE WENT ALONG TO ADDRESS ISSUES
THAT CAME UP.
>> AND I'VE HEARD FROM
RESIDENTS IN INDUSTRIES THREE
WHO ASKED TO MEET WITH ME ABOUT
ABOUT HOW THAT PROCESS WENT AS
THEY LIVE NEXT TO PERMANENT
SUPPORTIVE HOUSING AND HAVE NOT
HAD THAT KIND OF ONGOING
COMMUNICATION. 
>> AND I THINK I'M JUST PUTTING
OUT THERE THAT IF WE IF WE HAVE
GOOD EXPERIENCES UP UNTIL THE
POINT WHERE PEOPLE START MOVING
IN AND THEN ISSUES ARISE, THERE
NEEDS TO BE A AND I THINK IT'S
PERFECTLY APPROPRIATE FOR THE
COUNCIL OFFICE TO DO THESE
THINGS AND TO HELP WITH YOU
KNOW, HELP CONVENE HOUSING
STAFF AND WHOEVER ELSE TO HELP
SOLVE THOSE ISSUES AS THEY
ARISE OVER TIME.
>> WELL, PEOPLE ARE LEARNING
HOW THE NEIGHBORHOOD IS
CHANGING AND LEARNING TO LIVE
TOGETHER. 
SO I JUST WANT TO PUT THAT UP
THERE AND THEN I THINK THAT'S
THAT'S PRETTY MUCH IT.
>> I DO ALSO WANT TO HIGHLIGHT
THE LAST THING I WANT TO
HIGHLIGHT.
I THINK THIS THE SAW IDEA IS
FANTASTIC AND ADDING THOSE FOR
THE PEOPLE WHO DON'T KNOW I
CAN'T REMEMBER WHAT THE ACRONYM
STANDS FOR.
RAGAN DO YOU WANT TO HELP ME
WITH THE ACRONYM SERVICES
OUTREACH ASSISTANCE AND
RESOURCE OK. 
>> THANK YOU.
SERVICES OUTREACH ASSISTANCE
AND RESOURCES AND ADDING THOSE
SERVICES BASICALLY IT HELPS US
WE WE CALLED IT HOMELESS
OUTREACH BEFORE AND NOW WE'RE
CALLING IT SAW AND IT
SOUNDS LIKE IT'S MORE WHERE
THERE ARE MENTAL HEALTH
CONDITIONS, DRUG AND ALCOHOL
COUNSELORS, STORAGE PROGRAM AND
AND REALLY KIND OF PINPOINTING
HELPING ON A CASE BY CASE BASIS
FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE NOT IN WHO
ARE MAYBE ON A WAITING LIST OR
WHO ARE NOT IN A SHELTER.
>> THERE ARE STILL ON THE
STREETS.
AM I RIGHT ABOUT WHAT AM I
CHARACTERIZING THAT CORRECTLY? 
>> YES.
>> GREAT.
I THINK THAT'S I'M REALLY
LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING HOW
THAT GOES.
BECAUSE I I THINK THAT'S I
ACTUALLY HAD THOUGHT BEFORE
SORROW CAME TO US THAT THAT WAS
ALREADY HAPPENING AND I WASN'T
AWARE THAT THAT WE DIDN'T HAVE
THAT LEVEL OF OUTREACH TO OUR
TO OUR HOMELESS POPULATION.
>> SO I DO REALLY APPRECIATE
THAT BECAUSE I THINK THE THREE
THINGS I WROTE DOWN AS I WAS AS
WE WERE TALKING AND AS I WAS
LISTENING TO TWO COUNTS
OF MURDER CAMPUS'S QUESTIONS
AND COMMENTS WERE I AND I WANT
TO HIGHLIGHT THESE THREE THINGS
INCLUSIVENESS IS IMPORTANT.
>> RELATIONSHIPS ARE IMPORTANT
AND I WOULD SAY THESE THINGS
ARE FOR COMMUNITY WIDE AND
HUMANITY IS IMPORTANT AND
RECOGNIZING EVERYONE'S HUMANITY
AND I HOPE THAT WE WE WILL
CONTINUE THAT AND I SEE OUR
PLAN ADDRESSES THOSE ISSUES AND
I I JUST I REALLY APPRECIATE
ALL THE WORK THAT HAS GONE INTO
AND I LOOK FORWARD TO TO
CONTINUING TO DRILL DOWN AND
GET MORE SPECIFICS ON THIS.
>> THANK YOU.
>> THANK YOU.
>> LEE, I JUST WANTED TO COME
BACK TO YOU.
WAS THERE ANYTHING YOU WANTED
TO ADD?
>> YOU KNOW, JACK AND I WANTED
TO COME BACK AND OUR OUR RUSHED
DELIVERY OF OUR PRESENTATION TO
GET IT TO YOU.
WE HAD A FAIL TO THANK TWO
IMPORTANT MEMBERS OF THE CITY
TEAM WHO HAD BEEN PART OF THE
WORKING GROUP WHO REALLY DROVE
THIS PROCESS ON THE CITY SIDE
ALONG WITH THE COUNTY AND
DESTINATION HOME.
AND THAT INCLUDED, YOU KNOW,
DOZENS UPON DOZENS OF INTERNAL
MEETINGS AND A LOT OF OF
OUTREACH TO OUR COMMUNITY AND
THAT WAS SPECIAL THANKS TO
REAGAN MANAGER AND SARA ZORAIDA
FOR THEIR WORK OVER THE PAST
YEAR AND A HALF ON THIS EFFORT.
>> THANK YOU.
ALL RIGHT.
MATT WROTE US. 
THANK YOU.
I JUST WANT TO FIRST OF ALL
JUST THINK THE HOUSING
DEPARTMENT.
>> I KNOW THAT THIS IS JUST ONE
OF THE STEPS TOWARDS ADDRESSING
OR ENDING HOMELESSNESS.
AND THIS IS A COORDINATED STEP.
MIND YOU WITH THE COUNTY AND
WITH A LOT OF OTHER
STAKEHOLDERS AND IT IT IT IS
COMPLEX AND FOR ME I FOUND I
REALLY LIKED THAT IT WAS
STRATEGIC THAT IT AIMED
AT CHANGING POLICIES SISTER
SYSTEMS AND THAT YOU ARE HOPING
TO GET TO THE ROOT CAUSES
OF HOMELESSNESS. 
>> NOW THAT'S A HUGE FEAT. 
YOU'RE ONLY GOING TO HAVE TO
FIGURE OUT HOW AND POVERTY AND
THEN AND THEN YOU GOT IT SOLVED
RIGHT.
>> SO IT TO ME IT'S IT'S PART
OF BEING HONEST IN TERMS OF HOW
POVERTY IMPACTS OUR OUR
COMMUNITY.
>> BUT THIS IS NOT AN AREA THAT
IS JUST LEFT FOR HOUSING
DEPARTMENT TO FIX.
RIGHT.
WE DON'T EXPECT YOU TO TO FIND
THE ANSWERS THAT ACROSS
GOVERNMENTS AND SYSTEMS WE
HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO DO THAT.
WE HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO ADDRESS
STRUCTURAL RACISM OURSELVES AND
WITHIN OUR OWN CITY GOVERNMENT
AND IN YOUR PURSUIT OF TRYING
TO FIGURE HOW THAT IMPACTS
HOMELESSNESS AND PEOPLE IN THE
HOMELESS IN THE UN, HOW IS
COMMUNITY I SAY YOU YOU KNOW, 
WE'RE WE'RE ONE STEP BEHIND AS
A CITY RIGHT. 
>> BECAUSE WE'RE JUST NOT
REALLY MEASURING FOR FOR RACE
AROUND A LOT OF THE PROGRAMS
AND SERVICES AND SO THERE'S
SOME WORK TO BE DONE BUT IT'S
NOT JUST ON YOU.
>> IT'S ON A LOT OF THE SYSTEMS
THAT ARE COLLABORATING TOGETHER
TO END HOMELESSNESS THAT THAT
IT'S THE WORK IS ON ALL OF ALL
OF RIGHT AND US AS POLICYMAKERS
TO HELP THEM FIGURE OUT HOW TO
HOW TO GET CLOSER TO THIS.
>> I DON'T ANTICIPATE THAT THIS
COMMUNITY PLAN TO END
HOMELESSNESS THAT I'M GOING TO
TAKE YOU ON YOUR WORD AND THINK
THAT BY 2025 WE ARE GOING TO
END HOMELESSNESS BECAUSE WE
CAN'T EVEN AND GENDER IN
EQUALITY FOR BLACK AND BROWN
WOMEN. 
I THINK WE HAVE TO GO TO 20 TO
50 AT THIS POINT AT THE RATE
THAT WE'RE GOING.
AND SO YOU KNOW ALL THIS TO SAY
THAT THERE'S A LOT OF SYSTEMS, 
THERE'S A LOT OF MOVEMENT,
THERE'S A LOT OF POLICIES THAT
ARE IN PLAY RIGHT NOW THAT I
THINK WILL WORK REALLY WELL
WITH THE WORK THAT YOU'RE
DOING.
BUT IT'S I DON'T THINK IT
SHOULD BE ON YOUR SHOULDERS TO
BEAR THE BRUNT OF ALL OF THIS. 
YOU GET TO SOLVE FOR US A LOT
OF ISSUES THAT A LOT OF SYSTEMS
HAVE CREATED OVER MANY, MANY
YEARS. 
AND SO WE LOOK TO YOU FOR A LOT
OF THOSE SOLUTIONS. 
BUT IT TAKES ALL OF US TO BE
PART OF THAT SOLUTION.
SO IT TAKES US AS POLICYMAKERS
TO MAKE SURE THAT WE UPHOLD
WORKFORCE STANDARDS.
FOR EXAMPLE, RIGHT.
IT'S UP TO US TO DECIDE THAT WE
MUST SUPPORT PREVAILING WAGE OR
THAT WE SUPPORT MINIMUM WAGE.
>> SO THERE IS A LOT THAT GOES
ON WITH ENDING HOMELESSNESS
ASIDE FROM HOW YOU PUT THIS,
YOU KNOW, IN A VERY SIMPLE WAY.
>> YOU HAVE THREE STRATEGIES. 
BUT IN THOSE THREE STRATEGIES
THERE'S JUST IT'S SO COMPLEX.
RIGHT.
AND SO I JUST WANT TO NOTE THAT
BECAUSE WHAT YOU'RE TRYING TO
WHAT YOU ARE GOING TO BE DOING
IN THE NEXT FIVE YEARS IS I
THINK TRANSFORMING ARE OUR
SYSTEMS IS WHAT YOU'RE GOING TO
BE DOING AND TRANSFORMING NOT
ONLY THE COUNTIES BUT OUR
STAKEHOLDERS, OUR OWN INTERNAL
CITY SYSTEMS SO THAT WE CAN
ACTUALLY ADDRESS SOME OF THE
ROOT CAUSES.
AND SO I THINK TOGETHER
COLLECTIVELY WE CAN DO THIS
RIGHT.
I WAS REALLY PLEASED TO SEE THE
RECOGNIZED ANNE OF FAMILIES AND
THEIR NEEDS THROUGHOUT THIS
WHOLE REPORT.
WE HAD A HUGE EXODUS AND
COUNCIL MEMBER DAVIS IF YOU
THINK THAT PEOPLE ARE ROLLING
THEIR EYES I THINK THEY'RE
ROLLING THEIR EYES EVERY TIME I
I TALK ABOUT THE EXODUS
OF FAMILIES FROM THE CITY
OF SAN JOSE AND HOW IT'S
IMPACTED OUR SCHOOLS.
RIGHT.
>> BUT IT DOESN'T MATTER.
WE HAVE TO SAY IT ONCE, TWICE
AS MANY TIMES AS AS AS NEEDED
BECAUSE THESE ARE ALL PUZZLE
PIECES THAT ARE CONNECTED. 
RIGHT.
AND I SEE YOU NODDING AND I WAS
NOT ROLLING MY EYES ONE BIT.
COUNCIL MEMBER DOUGLAS SO THESE
ARE ALL PARTS OF A PUZZLE THAT
FIT TOGETHER RAID AND IN
DIFFERENT SYSTEMS TELL US
DIFFERENT THINGS.
>> SO FOR EXAMPLE, THAT EXODUS
THAT I MENTIONED THAT WE ALL
EXPERIENCED THROUGHOUT THE
WHOLE COUNTY AND PARTICULARLY
IN EVERGREEN WE CLOSE TWO
SCHOOLS ONE OF WHICH WAS MY
SON'S SCHOOL. 
SO HE HAD TO START IN SIXTH
GRADE IN A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT
SCHOOL. 
MIND YOU THAT THOSE ARE THE
THINGS THAT WE HAVE TO DO
BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE ONE THE
CHILD RATE THAT WE THOUGHT WE
HAD.
AND THEN TWO FAMILIES WOULD THE
PAY INEQUALITY IN THIS VALLEY
JUST CAN'T AFFORD TO LIVE HERE
ANYMORE EVEN THOUGH THEY MIGHT
WE MIGHT RELY ON THEM FOR SOME
SERVICE INDUSTRY EMPLOYMENT AND
AND SO I THINK ALL OF THESE ARE
TO SAY ARE TO PUT TOGETHER A
REAL PICTURE OF WHAT IS
HAPPENING IN THE CITY OF SAN
JOSE AND TO NOT INCLUDE ANY
OF THESE ITEMS.
>> I THINK WOULD BE CARELESS.
AND SO I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO
ALSO CONNECT WITH THE SCHOOL
DISTRICTS AS THEY'RE COMING
BACK IN AND REGISTERING AND AND
AND THE NUMBERS ARE SETTLING IN
TERMS OF SCHOOL ATTENDANCE TO
SEE HOW OUR FAMILIES FARING.
>> ARE WE DO WE HAVE A SECOND
EXODUS? 
>> DO WE ANTICIPATE MORE SCHOOL
CLOSURES THROUGHOUT SAN JOSE
POSSIBLY THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE
COUNTY.
>> I THINK THAT'S ALSO A SIGN
OF A HEALTHY, VIBRANT COMMUNITY
WHEN CHILDREN CONTINUE TO BE
PRESENT AND WHEN PARENTS CAN
ACTUALLY RAISE A CHILD MAYBE
POSSIBLY WHERE THEY'RE WORKING
IN THE SAME CITY THAT THEY'RE
WORKING IN. 
AND SO I THINK THAT'S ANOTHER
FACTOR THAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN
MIGHT BE ALSO VALUABLE AND I
DON'T KNOW WHERE IT BELONGS IN
THIS IN THIS PARTICULAR PLAN.
>> BUT I THINK IN IN THE
SPECIFIC PLAN FOR SAN JOSE, I
THINK IT MIGHT BE SOMETHING
THAT WE CAN LOOK AT AND I
BELIEVE THAT YOU'RE GOING TO
START DOING YOUR OUTREACH AS
OF SEPTEMBER TO JANUARY OR SOME
TIME TO GATHER SOME OF THAT
INFORMATION FROM ALL SO THAT WE
CAN PUT TOGETHER A PLAN THAT IS
DISTINCT TO THE CITY OF SAN
JOSE. 
I HOPE ALL OF YOU CAN'T HEAR MY
KIDDO LOSING IT IN THE
BACKGROUND IN A TANTRUM. 
>> DON'T WORRY, SHE'S WITH HER
DAD BUT JUST I APOLOGIZE FOR
THE ADDITIONAL NOISE, THE
BACKGROUND. 
>> THE LAST THING I WANTED TO
MENTION IS I KNOW THAT AND
WE'VE SPOKEN ABOUT THIS.
JACKIE, THAT THAT THE MCKINNEY
VENTO INPUT IS VERY IMPORTANT.
I DIDN'T SEE THEM NECESSARILY
THAT SYSTEM MENTIONED IN THE
PLAN BUT I'M GOING TO GUESS
THAT THAT IT IS GOING TO BE
SOMEHOW INTEGRATED MAYBE IN THE
CITY OF SAN JOSE A PLAN I WOULD
HAVE LIKED TO HAVE SEEN IT IN
THE COUNTY PLAN AND I DON'T
KNOW IF YOU COULD SHARE WITH ME
HOW THAT WORKS IN THE OVERALL
SYSTEM BECAUSE MCKINNEY VENTO
OVERSEES OUR SUPPORTS.
>> A LOT OF THOSE CHILDREN WITH
HOMELESS FAMILIES AND THEY
DEFINE HOMELESS AS QUITE
DIFFERENT THAN WHAT WE DO.
>> THEY LOOK AT INADEQUATE
HOUSING AND THAT'S THE
OVERCROWDING THAT REALLY IS
IMPACTING A LOT OF OUR
COMMUNITIES OF COLOR DURING
COVID RIGHT NOW. 
YES.
SO BECAUSE THE COUNTY PLAN THE
COMMUNITY PLAN IS VERY HIGH
LEVEL, YOU'LL SEE THAT WE DON'T
NECESSARILY CALL OUT SPECIFIC
ENTITIES ON THE HIGHER LEVEL
PLAN BUT IT IS DEFINITELY OUR
INTENTION AND WE HAVE BEEN
TALKING WITH THE HOUSING
DEPARTMENT ACTUALLY MEETS EVERY
OTHER WEEK WITH MCCAIN EVEN
TOAST STAFF TO MAKE SURE THAT
WE'RE HEARING WHAT THE CONCERNS
FAMILIES ARE AS WE'RE MOVING
THROUGH THIS COVID 19 CRISIS. 
AND IT IS AN ODD THING THAT THE
HUD SYSTEMS HAVE A DISCONNECT
BETWEEN THE DEFINITIONS BUT
THAT DOESN'T MEAN THAT WE'RE
NOT GOING TO CONTINUE TO WORK
WITH THEM AND TO KEEP FAMILIES
ON THE RADAR.
FAMILIES HAVE BEEN IDENTIFIED
THROUGHOUT THE PLAN AS THE
PRIORITY POPULATION AS A
SUBGROUP THAT WE NEED TO
IDENTIFY A SPECIFIC STRATEGY
THAT REALLY ADDRESSES THEIR
NEEDS UNDERSTANDING THAT THEIR
NEEDS ARE UNIQUE.
>> THANK YOU.
I APPRECIATE THAT. 
I DID SEE SOME PARTICULAR
POPULATIONS CALLED OUT
INCLUDING FAMILIES BUT THERE
WAS NO FOSTER YOUTH OR FAMILIES
OR FAMILY MEMBERS THAT HAVE
INCARCERATED FAMILY MEMBERS IN
THEIR HOUSEHOLD. 
>> AND SO I WAS CURIOUS TO SEE
IF INADEQUATE HOUSING WOULD
ALSO COME DOWN. 
I'M GLAD TO HEAR THAT IT WOULD
BE AND I HOPE THAT IT IS MORE
PREVALENT IN OUR SANTO IS A
PLAN AS WE KNOW THAT THIS IS
SOMETHING THAT WE'RE DEALING
WITH WITH COVID AND COVID HAS
PULLED THE CURTAIN, IF YOU
WILL, OF A LOT OF INADEQUATE
HOUSING FOR OUR FAMILIES AND
BECAUSE OF THAT THAT RATE
OF INFECTION IS HIGHER AMONG
THOSE FOLKS. 
SO I'D LIKE FOR THAT TO BE NOW
ACKNOWLEDGED. 
MY LAST QUESTION WOULD BE HOW
ARE YOU INTEGRATING OR IS THIS
PLAN?
ITS FIVE YEAR PLAN OBVIOUSLY
YOU KNOW, LOTS OF CIRCUMSTANCES
CHANGE BUT THIS COMES AT A TAIL
END.
WE'RE COVID HAS IMPACTED A LOT
OF OUR COMMUNITIES.
WHAT IF ANYTHING HAS FED THIS
PLAN THE LESSONS THAT WE
LEARNED OR CURRENT
CIRCUMSTANCES THAT WE'RE SEEING
UNDER COVID AND OUR HOMELESS
POPULATION. 
>> SO OUR COVID 19 RESPONSE IS
REALLY BASED ON OUR
IMPLEMENTATION OF THE PLAN AND
ONE OF THE NEXT STEPS THAT WE
WILL BE TAKING IS WHEN WE DO
THE DEBRIEF REGARDING OUR
RESPONSE TO COVID 19 SOLUTIONS
THAT WE BROUGHT FORWARD.
WE WANT TO LEARN FROM THOSE
THOSE SPECIFIC EXPERIENCES
BECAUSE WE ACTED VERY QUICKLY
AND WE WANT TO CONTINUE TO
OFFER SOME OF THE SERVICES THAT
WE DEVELOPED OVER COVID 19 FOR
EXAMPLE THE HOTLINE WHERE IT'S
JUST ONE TELEPHONE NUMBER THAT
PEOPLE HAVE TO CALL IN TO
FIGURE OUT IF THERE'S SHELTER
AVAILABILITY. 
>> THE CITY AND COUNTY
OF AGREED THAT HAS BEEN AN
IMMENSE BENEFIT THROUGHOUT THIS
HOUR THROUGHOUT OUR 19 RESPONSE
AND FRANKLY OUR COORDINATION IS
EVEN TIGHTER AS A RESULT
OF COVID 19. 
ONE OF OUR ONGOING COMMITMENTS
BETWEEN THE CITY AND THE COUNTY
IS HAVING THE TEAMS ACTUALLY
MEET MORE REGULARLY OR
REGULARLY. 
WE WERE NOT DOING THAT ON THE
STAFF LEVEL AND IN ORDER TO
IMPLEMENT A MORE AGGRESSIVE
PLAN.
WE NEED TO BE MORE TIGHTLY
COORDINATED MORE THAN WE EVER
HAVE BEEN IN THE PAST AND THAT
IS SOMETHING THAT COVID 19 HAS
GIVEN US A VERY GOOD EXPERIENCE
AND OPPORTUNITY TO DO AND WE
WANT TO CONTINUE THAT AS WELL.
SO IF I FEEL LIKE WE WILL HAVE
AN OPPORTUNITY TO DEBRIEF WHAT
WE LEARNED IN COVID AND TO
CONTINUE SOME OF THOSE
PRACTICES THAT WE HAVE FRANKLY
BEEN USING VERY EFFECTIVELY TO
ENSURE THAT WE'RE USING OUR
RESOURCES AS BEST WE CAN.
>> WONDERFUL.
AND I'M GUESSING THAT'S IN THE
NEXT THE COMMUNITY PLANS THAT
WILL BE INTEGRATED INTO THE
COMMUNITY PLAN WILL BE FOR SURE
BE INTEGRATED INTO THE CITY
PLAN AS WE'RE COMING BACK FOR
OUR NEXT STEPS AND THAT WILL
ALL ROAD ROLL UP INTO THE CFC.
>> AND OUR CONVERSATIONS WITH
THE CAMP. 
>> THANK YOU SO MUCH.
AND I JUST WANT TO THANK ALL
OF OUR PARTNERS HERE WHO ARE
PRESENT AND WHO HAVE BEEN
ANSWERING QUESTIONS PROVIDED
THEIR OWN EXPERIENCE AND AS
WELL AS JUST SUPPORTING US IN
THE WORK THAT WE'RE DOING. 
THIS IS TOUGH WORK.
SO THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR
SERVICE. 
I'M I'M DELIGHTED WITH THIS.
>> THIS PLAN AS I SAID EARLIER,
IT REALLY ADDRESSES SYSTEM
IMPROVEMENTS POLICIES AND I
THINK THAT'S WHERE ARE ALL
OF OUR SYSTEMS AND DIFFERENT
LEVELS OF GOVERNMENT COULD
BENEFIT FROM. 
>> THANK YOU. 
>> THANK YOU.
CAST MEMBER ESPARZA THANK YOU, 
MAYOR.
>> FIRST I'D LIKE TO THANK
EVERYBODY FOR BEING HERE.
WE HAVE SOME COUNTY FOLKS AND
PARTNERS. 
I ACTUALLY BELIEVE THAT WE
SHOULD SAY WE'RE GOING TO END
HOMELESSNESS.
>> HOW FOURTEEN THOUSAND PEOPLE
AND WE DIDN'T GET TO THAT POINT
BY JUST KIND OF SORT OF WORKING
TOWARDS IT.
RIGHT.
WE'VE DONE IN OUR COUNTY A
TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF WORK.
AND REALLY ENACTED A NUMBER
OF INNOVATIVE PRNS THAT DON'T
EXIST AND IN OTHER COUNTIES
CALIFORNIA. 
>> AND SO AMBITION IS SOMETHING
THAT I THINK WE SHOULD
ENCOURAGE AND IT ALSO REALLY
ACKNOWLEDGES HOW SERIOUS THAT
IS.
>> THIS IS WE DO NEED TO END IT
AND WE ALL NEED TO BE IN ON
THIS PLAN IN ORDER TO DO THAT.
>> I HAD A QUESTION AROUND
STREAMLINE HOW WE GET FOLKS
CONNECTED TO BEHAVIORAL AND
MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES.
>> I'M SUPER, SUPER HAPPY TO
SEE US DOING THAT AT THE CITY
AND INCLUDING THAT OUTREACH
I'VE SEEN ON THE GROUND. 
THIS BE AN ENORMOUS ISSUE.
THERE WAS ONE EXAMPLE THAT TOOK
A HUGE COMBINED EFFORT BETWEEN
THE CITY AND THE COUNTY IN THE
SANTEE NEIGHBORHOOD WHERE
SOMEBODY WAS PHYSICALLY
ASSAULTING PRESCHOOLERS, THEIR
PARENTS AND THE SECURITY FIRM
THERE AND IT TOOK 20 CALLS FROM
THE PD AND CITY FOLKS AND
OUTREACH WORKERS TO GET THAT
CONNECTION WITH THE COUNTY
SERVICES WHO REALLY CAME
THROUGH.
>> I MEAN IT WAS A BIG, BIG
DEAL.
>> AND AND AND SO I THINK THIS
SORT OF STREAMLINING ON THE
GROUND CONNECTING PEOPLE TO
SERVICES THEY NEED IN REAL TIME
IS HUGE.
AND IT'S NOT JUST MENTAL
HEALTH.
IT'S IT'S SUBSTANCE ABUSE.
YOU KNOW, FOR EXAMPLE, I'VE
SAID THIS BEFORE CONNECTING THE
DETOX BEDS TO THE NEXT STEP TO
THE NEXT STEP. 
AND SO I GUESS ONE I WANT TO
KNOW.
WHAT'S THE COUNTY'S WHAT IS
HAPPENING IN BEHAVIORAL HEALTH
THAT IS DIFFERENT?
>> AND HOW CAN WE SUPPORT THAT
AS A CITY?
>> BECAUSE I'M ASSUMING THAT
THIS WILL IMPACT SORT OF OUR
OPERATION WITH LAW ENFORCEMENT
WITH CITY DEPARTMENTS.
WE CAN SUPPORT THAT BEING A
FIRST STEP. 
WHO WANTS TO TAKE THAT QUESTION
ON CATHERINE? 
YOU KNOW, I THINK OUR DIRECTOR
CONSUELO HERNANDEZ IS ACTUALLY
ASK THE MEDIA REMEMBER AS FAR
AS I HOPE YOU COME OUT HERE. 
>> WE APOLOGIZE FOR BEING LATE.
WE DOUBLE BOOKED OURSELVES
TODAY. 
GREAT QUESTION.
YOU KNOW, A LOT OF THE WORK
THAT WE'VE BEEN DOING OVER THE
LAST FIVE YEARS HAS BEEN TO
COORDINATE OUR INTERNAL SAFETY
NET SYSTEM AND REALLY TRYING TO
DRIVE RESOURCES TO OUR MOST
VULNERABLE POPULATIONS. 
SO THROUGH THAT EFFORT ONE
OF OUR ACTUALLY ONE OF THE
DIVISIONS IN OUR DEPARTMENT IS
ACTUALLY HOUSED IN THE
BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SYSTEM AND
DEPARTMENT AND MOST RECENTLY
WE'VE IDENTIFIED SOME GAPS IN
THE SYSTEM HOW WE CAN IMPROVE
THAT.
THAT INCLUDES ME AND THIS NEW
ACTING OR TAKING A MORE DIRECT
OVERSIGHT OVER SOME OF THE
SERVICES THAT ARE CURRENTLY
ASSIGNED TO OSAGE AND
REVISITING HOW WE MIGHT BE ABLE
TO LEVERAGE THEM BETTER.
>> I HAPPENED TO STEP INTO THE
MEETING WHEN COUNCIL MEMBER
KHAMIS WAS DISCUSSING HIS
QUESTIONS ENGAGEMENT. 
WE ARE LAUNCHING A NEW TEAM. 
IT'S CALLED THE HEAT TEAM FOR
THOSE DIFFICULT TO SERVE
CLIENTS.
AND I THINK THAT THIS WILL FIT
VERY WELL WITH THE SOAR PROGRAM
THAT JACKIE AND REAGAN WERE
TALKING ABOUT. 
SO YOU KNOW, THE THE BENEFIT
OF THIS PLAN AND THE WAY OUR
OFFICE IS STRUCTURED IS THAT WE
DO HAVE THE ABILITY TO LEVERAGE
THOSE RESOURCES AND FIGURE OUT
HOW BEST TO PARTNER WITH THE
CITY WITH OUR INTERNAL
DEPARTMENTS AGAIN TO LEVERAGE
VERY SCARCE RESOURCES THAT
ULTIMATELY END UP BEING USED BY
THE SAME INDIVIDUALS.
AND HOW WE STREAMLINE THAT SO
THERE'S A LOT OF WORK AHEAD AS
AS MOST OF YOU TALKED ABOUT
BEFORE.
YOU KNOW THAT THE CRISIS HAS
AMPLIFIED A LOT OF OUR RESPONSE
AND WE NEED TO HAVE THESE
CONVERSATIONS MORE OFTEN. 
AND I THINK ONCE WE START
DEVELOPING THE NEXT PHASE OF AN
IMPLEMENTATION PLAN, WE'LL BE
VERY SPECIFIC ABOUT HOW
BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SERVICES CAN
INCREASE TO THESE MOST
VULNERABLE POPULATIONS AND THEN
HOW DO WE LEVERAGE THE
COMMUNITY?
HOW DO WE LEVERAGE COMMUNITY
ENGAGEMENT HOUSING READY
COMMUNITIES CAMPAIGN THAT WE
STARTED WITH MEASURE A HOW DOES
MEASURE E FIT INTO THAT? 
>> THANK YOU.
>> THAT'S VERY EXCITING AND I
KNOW SAW IS GOING TO PRESENT TO
THE COUNTY'S REENTRY COMMITTEE.
I THINK IT'S NEXT MONTH.
>> AND SO I'M JUST.
MY GOAL IS THAT WE ALIGN ON
THAT SORT OF WELL WE CAN ALIGN
OUR PEOPLE, OUR RESOURCES,
EVERYTHING AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE
.
SO THANK YOU FOR THAT.
THAT'S REALLY EXCITING. 
I WANTED TO ASK. 
SO HOW WILL WILL RE NICHOLS
IMPACT PERMANENT SUPPORTIVE
HOUSING?
>> CAN YOU TALK ABOUT THAT
BECAUSE THAT'S A GREAT QUESTION
AND I'M ALSO HAPPY TO MADE A
GOOD SWEAT QUESTION. 
>> ALL RIGHT.
>> OH, I THINK MAYBE IT'S BEST
FOR THE CITY JUST TO TALK ABOUT
THE SPECIFIC ARENA STUFF. 
SO I WOULD ASSUME THAT, YOU
KNOW, WE'RE ANTICIPATING AN
INCREASE IN OUR ARENA GOALS.
AND SO AND AS YOU KNOW, WE'VE
NOT WE'RE NOT EVEN CLOSE TO
MEETING ARENA GOALS OF HOUSING
UNDER 30 PERCENT OF THE AM. 
SO THAT IS SOMEPLACE THAT WE
CONTINUE TO PUT EFFORT IN WITH
THE COUNCIL DIRECTING THAT 45
PERCENT OF OUR FUNDING GO
TOWARDS THE 60 GRIMLY LOW
INCOME POPULATION AND REALLY
THAT'S WHERE WE NEED TO BE.
CATCHING UP ON THE AFFORDABLE
HOUSING SIDE.
SO LOOKING AT OUR PORTFOLIO WE
DID A LOT OF INVESTMENT IN THE
PAST ON THAT HIGHER INCOME
RANGE AND THE MORE CHALLENGING
HAS BEEN THIS EXTREME LOWER
INCOME RANGE AND OUR COMMITMENT
IS IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE
COUNTY BECAUSE WE KNOW THAT
OFTEN WE NEED SERVICES DOLLARS
TO MAKE THOSE PROJECTS AND
DEVELOPMENTS WORK AND OPERATE
AND FUNCTION APPROPRIATELY. 
IT REALLY TAKES THAT CONTINUED
PARTNERSHIP WITH THE COUNTY OR
SOME SORT OF NEW CROSS
SUBSIDISATION STRATEGY FOR US
TO REACH THOSE ADDITIONAL GOALS
.
>> AND ARE WE WELL I GUESS I'M
JUST GOING TO SAY THAT I I
WOULD I WOULD LIKE TO BE PART
OF CONVERSATIONS AROUND
DISPERSION BOTH WITHIN THE CITY
BUT ALSO WITHIN COUNTY. 
>> I HAVE THE CITIES. 
IS IT THE COUNTIES MIGHT BE THE
COUNTIES RENAISSANCE PLACE THE
LARGEST I THINK PERMANENT
SUPPORTIVE HOUSING IN THE
COUNTY.
I KNOW IT'S THE LARGEST IN THE
CITY BUT SO I'VE INVITED OTHER
FOLKS TO COME DOWN AND LOOK
AT IT TO VISIT.
I TALKED ABOUT IT TO OTHER
ELECTED OFFICIALS WHO HAVEN'T
BEEN ABLE TO COME BY HAVE SORT
OF SHARED MY EXPERIENCE IN
OPENING. 
IT IS NOW FULL BY THE WAY,
WHICH IS SUPER EXCITING DURING
.
IT'S OBVIOUSLY IT WAS A
CHALLENGE MOVING PEOPLE IN BUT
IT HAS A LOT OF STAFF MEETING
AND HUMANITIES AND IT'S JUST
IT'S I THINK IT'S AN EXAMPLE
OF WHAT FOLKS THROUGHOUT THE
CITY AND THROUGHOUT THE COUNTY
CAN LOOK AT AND SO THAT'S SORT
OF EVERYBODY DOES THEIR PART ON
THIS.
>> AND THEN I WANTED TO REMIND
SORT OF EVERYBODY AND ANYBODY
WHO'S LISTENING AS WELL AS MY
COLLEAGUES THAT WE REALLY NEED
TO TALK ABOUT HOMELESS
PREVENTION LIKE IT'S RENTAL
ASSISTANCE AND BUT REALLY WE
HAVE WITHIN OUR POWER TO ENACT
POLICIES THAT PREVENT
HOMELESSNESS AND WE NEED TO
REALLY LOOK AT THE COMMUNITY
PLAN TO END HOMELESSNESS THAT
INCLUDES THE POLICIES THAT ARE
FULLY WITHIN OUR CONTROL TO
DEAL WITH DISPLACE MET WITH
AFFORDABILITY WITH RENTER
PROTECTIONS, WITH HOUSING
SUPPLY THOSE THINGS ALSO
PREVENT HOMELESSNESS.
>> AND SO I JUST WANTED TO SEND
THAT REMINDER.
AND IN THE INTEREST OF TIME
I'LL STOP THERE AND I WILL MAKE
A MOTION BECAUSE I THINK OF MY
COLLEAGUES. 
DIEP.
I'LL LET YOU MAKE THE MOTION.
THANK YOU CUSTOMER.
>> YEAH.
>> THANK YOU, MAYOR AND
APPRECIATE THE PRESENTATION
FROM THAT AS WELL.
I'M SORRY. 
HERE, LET ME SHOW MYSELF.
AND IN THE COMMENTS TO MY
COLLEAGUE CERTAINLY YOU KNOW, I
THINK THERE'S A LOT TO BE PROUD
OF FROM THE WORK THAT WE'VE
DONE AND I THINK I'LL I'LL NAME
THE BIGGEST ONE WHICH IS IF WE
HAD NOT INITIATED THE FIRST
COMMUNITY PLAN TO END
HOMELESSNESS FIVE YEARS AGO.
I HATE TO THINK OF WHERE WE
WOULD BE TODAY IN LACKING
OF PROGRESS ALTHOUGH IS IT
RIGHT IT FEELS AS THOUGH WE
HAVEN'T ACHIEVED MUCH AND
CERTAINLY I KNOW WITH THE
CONCENTRATION OF HOMELESS I
HAVE IN MY DISTRICT THAT THE
NUMBER OF ENCAMPMENTS AND
COMPLAINTS WE GET IT IS
LITERALLY THE NUMBER ONE ISSUE
COMING THROUGH MY OFFICE AND
AT THE SAME TIME THAT I
RECOGNIZED THAT HAD WE NOT
KICKED OFF THIS COMMUNITY PLAN
TO END HOMELESSNESS FIVE YEARS
AGO WE WOULD BE IN A WAY WHERE
SITUATION WHICH IS CRAZY TO
EVEN THINK ABOUT.
BUT IT IS TRUE NO DOUBT.
AND SO NOW I'M HOPEFUL WITH
THIS NEXT PLAN AND AND
CERTAINLY I APPRECIATE THE YOU
KNOW, THE BROADENING OF OUR
THOUGHTS ON HOW WE ARE
ADDRESSING SOME OF THE ISSUES
THAT NOT ONLY YOU KNOW, WE'RE
TRYING TO ACHIEVE WITH HOUSING
INDIVIDUALS BUT JUST A DAILY
DAY TO DAY ISSUES THAT
INDIVIDUALS THAT ARE HOMELESS
ON THE STREET. 
>> AND THEN WHAT HAPPENS WITH
OUR COMMUNITY IS THAT AS A
WHOLE AND I CERTAINLY KNOW THAT
THERE'S A LOT OF WORK THAT GOES
INTO THIS.
I WOULD AGREE WITH THE
SENTIMENT AROUND THE TITLE I I
DON'T THINK WE SHOULD WE SHOULD
CHANGE IT IN REGARDS TO WHAT
WE'RE ACTUALLY WHAT OUR GOAL
IS, WHAT WE'RE STRIVING FOR.
BUT THE REALITY IS AS WE KNOW
THAT EVEN WITH THIS PLAN RIGHT
WHEN EVEN WE KNOW WITH THIS
PLAN WE'RE NOT ENDING
HOMELESSNESS IN THE NEXT FIVE
YEARS. 
IT IS IT IS IT IS A PLAN
ATTEMPTING TO ACHIEVE GOLD.
IT'S NOT GOING TO HAPPEN IN THE
NEXT FIVE YEARS EVEN WITH THIS
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN WE NEED A
LOT MORE TO ADD ONTO IT.
SO I THINK WE HAVE TO BE
REALISTIC ABOUT WHAT THE PLAN
CAN ACHIEVE AND AND THEN WHAT
IT CAN'T.
>> AND THE FACT THAT WE'RE
STILL GREAT WITH WITH EVERY
INDIVIDUAL THAT WE HOUSE STILL
HAVING A NUMBER OF INDIVIDUALS
THAT GO HOMELESS.
RIGHT.
AND SO WE WE CERTAINLY ACHIEVE
SUCCESS BUT THEN WE TAKE A STEP
BACK.
AND SO I THINK THAT'S IMPORTANT
TO KNOW.
AND I WANT DOVE INTO TOO MUCH.
ONE OF MY COLLEAGUES HAVE
JUMPED INTO I DO WANT TO
MENTION THOUGH THE MEMORANDUM
SAID THAT I DID SUBMIT FROM MY
COLLEAGUES AND IN YOU KNOW, FOR
ME I THINK WHAT I SAW WAS AN
OPPORTUNITY TO REALLY MAKE THIS
THE PRIORITY THAT WE SEE THAT
IT IS.
AND AND AS WE'VE BEEN TALKING
ABOUT NOT JUST ASKED THAT THIS
RESTS ON THE SHOULDERS OF A
HOUSING DEPARTMENT BECAUSE WE
KNOW SPECIFICALLY THAT IT
DOESN'T JUST AFFECT OUR HOUSING
DEPARTMENT, THAT NEARLY EVERY
SINGLE DEPARTMENT IN THE CITY
IS IN ONE WAY OR ANOTHER
AFFECTED BY THE ISSUE
OF HOMELESSNESS.
>> WE HAVE CERTAINLY APPEARED
IT A CRISIS OR DECLARED A
HOUSING CRISIS.
WE KNOW THAT THIS IS A PRIORITY
ISSUE.
WE KNOW THAT IT'S ONLY GOING TO
BE EXASPERATED THROUGH THE
CHALLENGES THAT WE FACE TODAY
WITH THIS PANDEMIC AND AFTER
THE PANDEMIC HENCE WHY WE ON
OUR AGENDA TODAY AS WELL
TALKING ABOUT THINGS LIKE
EVICTION MORATORIUMS AND SO IN
IN THE SAME LIGHT THAT WE HAVE
EVALUATED ALL OF OUR CITY
POLICIES FOR OUR CLIMATE
EVALUATION AND WE NOW HAVE THAT
DENOTED ON THE BOTTOM OF EACH
POLICY MEMORANDUM STATING
WHETHER THIS IS HAVING AN
EFFECT OR NOT. 
THAT'S THE MEMORANDUM THAT I
PUT FORWARD TO ASK OUR OUR
STAFF TO DO THE SAME WHEN IT
COMES TO HOMELESSNESS.
SO JUST LIKE OUR CLIMATE SMART
SUBSECTION I'M ASKING THAT WE
EXPLORE ADDING THE COMMUNITY
PLAN AND HOMELESSNESS AS ONTO
OUR COUNCIL MEMBERS ENABLING
STAFF TO BE ABLE TO ACTUALLY
CONSIDER THE IMPACTS
OF POLICIES THAT WE ARE
EVALUATING ON THIS COMMUNITY.
>> PLANTS AND HOMELESSNESS.
AND SO I DID SUBMIT A MEMO TO
THAT EFFECT AND I'D LOVE TO BE
ABLE TO HEAR STAFF'S RESPONSE
TO THAT AND I'M HOPING TO GET
MY COUNCIL COLLEAGUES SUPPORT
RECOGNIZING THIS IS NOT
SOMETHING THAT MAYBE COULD BE
IMPLEMENTED IN THE SNAP OF A
FINGER OVERNIGHT.
BUT I WOULD LIKE TO BE ABLE TO
GET THIS DIRECTION APPROVED.
SO FIRST WANT YOUR STAFF
RESPONSE.
>> I WAS JUST THINKING MAYBE
LEAVE MIGHT WANT TO RESPOND
SINCE BROADER THAN THE HOUSING
DEPARTMENT.
CERTAINLY THE HOUSING
DEPARTMENT WOULD NOT BE
CHALLENGED BY REVIEWING THE
WORK THAT WE'RE SUBMITTING TO
ENSURE THAT IT ALIGNS WITH THE
COMMUNITY PLAN. 
>> SURE I CAN JUMP IN BUT I SEE
DAVE'S TURNED OFF AS HIS MIKE
AS WELL. 
I DON'T KNOW IF HE HAD
SOMETHING THAT HE WANTED TO
START WITH HERE AND I CERTAINLY
APPRECIATE THE INTENT AND I DO
THINK THAT OVER TIME I THINK
IT'S IMPORTANT THAT OUR STAFF
REPORTS DO REFLECT THE ISSUES
THAT WE'RE MOST FOCUSED ON.
>> SO CERTAINLY OVER THE YEARS
WE'VE ADDED PIECES TO THE STAFF
REPORT AROUND PUBLIC OUTREACH.
CERTAINLY YOU'VE MENTIONED THE
CLIMATE SMART PLAN.
WE'RE ACTUALLY NOT THAT LONG
AGO ADDED A SECTION ON
COMMISSION RECOMMENDATIONS.
AND SO I DO BELIEVE THAT THIS
ISSUE DOES SPAN THE ENTIRE
ORGANIZATION AND DOES REACH
INTO MANY THINGS THAT WE'RE
DOING AS A CITY.
AND SO I DO THINK THERE'S
THERE'S PROBABLY A PLACE FOR
IT.
OBVIOUSLY THERE'S TIMES WHERE
THERE IS NO CONNECTION TO
SOMETHING THAT WE'RE DOING AND
WE WOULD PROBABLY EXERCISE THE
DISCRETION THAT WE CURRENTLY DO
TO SAY NOT APPLICABLE. 
BUT I DO THINK IT'S IT'S A
TRIGGER TO FORCE TO REALLY
THINK THROUGH WHAT WE'RE DOING
AND MAKING SURE THAT WE'RE
FOCUSED ON ON THE CITY'S TOP
PRIORITIES. 
>> AND I WOULD NOT EXPECT THAT
,YOU KNOW, EVALUATE IT ANY
DIFFERENTLY THAN THEY DO TODAY
LIKE WITH CLIMATE SMART
CERTAINLY NOT EVERYTHING IS
GOING TO HAVE AN IMPACT.
EVERY DECISION WE MAKE.
BUT I DO THINK IT WOULD BE
IMPORTANT AND ENLIGHTENING NOT
ONLY TO THE COUNCIL BUT ALSO TO
OUR COMMUNITY TO BE ABLE TO
HAVE A BETTER UNDERSTANDING ON
THE POLICY DECISIONS THAT WE
MAKE, WHAT IMPLICATIONS THEY
MAY HAVE ON EITHER HELPING OR
EXASPERATING THE ISSUE
OF HOMELESSNESS. 
AND SO I DON'T DO WE HAVE A
MEMO AROUND HUMAN EMOTION
AT THE MOMENT? 
>> I DON'T THINK SO.
COUNCILOR PRICE OFFER JUST LIKE
THE IF I COULD MAKE THE MOST
MAYBE FIRST BUDGET PICTURE.
SO I JUST WROTE ABOUT MY STAFF
RECOMMENDATION AND THEN INCLUDE
MY MENTAL PACKAGE.
COUNCILOR PRICE WOULD YOU
CONSIDER MA'AM JUST I KNOW YOU
ACKNOWLEDGE THIS ALREADY IN
YOUR COMMENTS BUT THERE ARE
GOING TO BE ISSUES LIKE, YOU
KNOW, SEWER CAPITAL PROJECTS
THAT ARE NOT GOING TO BE
DIRECTLY RELEVANT TO ALLOW
STAFF TO BE ABLE TO AVOID GOING
TO THE PERFORMATIVE ASPECT
OF THIS WHERE IT JUST DOESN'T
MATTER AND SIMPLY INCLUDE IT
WHERE THERE IS SOME DIRECT
IMPACT. 
>> IS THAT YOUR INTENTION?
>> YEAH, MY AS I MENTIONED
DEFINITELY NOT EXPECTING THIS
TO HAPPEN OVERNIGHT BUT MY HOPE
WOULD BE THAT MAYBE STAFF CAN
CAN GIVE US THE TIME WHEN YOU
THINK YOU CAN COME BACK IN AND
GIVE US A BETTER IDEA ON HOW
YOU WANT TO IMPLEMENT THIS.
THE IDEA WOULD BE FOR THIS TO
BE HELPFUL RIGHT FOR US TO TO
HAVE A TRUE ANALYSIS ON THINGS
THAT WOULD HAVE AN IMPACT AND
THEN DOT ON MOST POLICY MEMOS
SORRY AND THEN TO BE ABLE TO
YOU KNOW, TO DO IT THEN AND NOT
NECESSARILY TO DO IT ALL THE
TIME.
>> I'M FLEXIBLE IN THE
DIRECTION AND HAPPY TO HEAR
WHAT STAFF'S RESPONSE ON THAT.
I'M NOT ASKING FOR IT AGAINST
IT TO HAPPEN OVERNIGHT TO
HAPPEN WITH EVERY SINGLE ITEM. 
>> YES, SIR.
>> THANK YOU.
COUNCIL MEMBER THANK YOU, MARY.
I THINK I THINK GIVING GLORIA
GLORIA IS THE END THE PERSON
WHO ENDS UP KIND
OF OPERATIONALIZING THESE SORTS
THINGS AND GETTING IT TO THE
TEMPLATE IN AND IN PROVIDING
SOME GUIDANCE ON ON HOW AND
WHEN.
I THINK IT'S THE MAYOR'S POINT
.
SO I THINK WITHIN A FEW WEEKS
OR MAYBE THREE WEEKS I THINK WE
CAN KIND OF FIGURE THAT OUT AND
THEN YOU KNOW, I DO APPRECIATE
THE POINT IN ALLOWING US SOME
SOME FLEXIBILITY HERE BUT WE
ALSO WANT TO TAKE IT SERIOUSLY.
>> SO I THINK THAT'S THAT'S THE
GOAL HERE.
AND I THINK WE CAN DO THAT WHEN
IT COMES TO WHAT THAT DIRECTS
MAD.
>> AGAIN, I'M FLEXIBLE.
OK.
SO THE EMOTION APPRECIATE THAT.
THE SECOND AS WELL THOUGH THE
END OF MY COMMENTS.
>> GREAT.
THANKS.
WE'RE A MINUTE.
>> YEAH, I THINK I JUST WANTED
TO EXPRESS A BIG THANK YOU TO
ALL THE FOLKS THAT HAVE WORKED
ON THE PLAN. 
I THINK MUCH OF WHAT I WANTED
TO SAY AND THE QUESTIONS I
WANTED TO ASK WERE ASKED VERY
MUCH SUPPORTIVE OF THAT IN THE
LANGUAGE TO THE MEMOS. 
I THINK IT'S VERY TIMELY GIVEN
THE IDENTIFICATION FROM FROM
EVERYONE THAT'S WORKED ON THIS
IN THIS COMPONENT IS VERY
IMPORTANT TO ME.
BUT SORT OF ACKNOWLEDGING HOW
INTERTWINED MANY OF THESE
ISSUES ARE AS IT RELATES TO
HOMELESSNESS AND THE WIDENING
GAP BETWEEN THOSE THAT ARE
DOING WELL AND THOSE THAT ARE
NOT I THINK IS VERY IMPORTANT.
SO I WAS VERY GLAD TO SEE THAT
IN THE PLAN AND SO I SUSPECT
ADDING WHAT YOU KNOW, ADOPTING
COUNCIL MEMBER PERALEZ IS
RECOMMENDATION I THINK IS GOING
TO BE BENEFICIAL IN A NUMBER
OF DIFFERENT FRONTS.
I MEAN I CAN ALREADY THINK OF A
FEW THINGS IN WHICH I WOULD BE
CURIOUS TO SEE WHAT STAFF SORT
OF COMMENTS ARE. 
>> I MEAN ONE FOR EXAMPLE IS
EVEN THE DISCUSSION WE'RE GOING
TO HAVE IN A FEW WEEKS.
RELATED TO THE COMMERCIAL
LINKAGE FEE, YOU KNOW IF THERE
WERE A MEMO COME OUT AND WE
WERE ACTUALLY PUTTING THIS
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT IN THERE OR
LISTING WHETHER IT WAS ALIGNED
OR NOT WITH WHAT WE'RE SAYING
IS IMPORTANT TO US THINGS LIKE
WAGE STUFF, EVEN MOBILE HOME
PARK CLOSURES.
RIGHT.
ALL THAT WOULD BE APPLE.
IT SEEMS TO ME ALL THIS WOULD
BE APPLICABLE AND WOULD TOUCH
MANY, MANY TOPICS THAT WE DEAL
WITH IN THE CITY AND ALF AND
THINK THAT YOU KNOW, I THINK
MOST OF US OR EVEN THOUGH IT'S
NOT EXPLICITLY STATED IN THE
MEMOS KNOW THAT WHEN WE'RE
SUPPORT NOT SUPPORTING SOME
OF THESE ITEMS IT MAY HAVE, YOU
KNOW, CERTAIN IMPACTS THAT
AREN'T ALWAYS ACKNOWLEDGED VERY
PUBLICLY.
>> AND SO I VERY MUCH
APPRECIATE THE FACT THAT IT'S
GOING TO BE INCLUDED IN THE
MEMOS AT LEAST MAYBE YOU KNOW.
YOU KNOW, I'M MORE OPEN TO EVEN
THE IDEA OF JUST ACKNOWLEDGING
THE POTENTIAL IMPACT.
RIGHT.
NOT NECESSARILY LISTING OFF,
YOU KNOW HOW HOW WE'RE ALIGNING
WHAT WE'RE DOING TO WHAT WE
CARE ABOUT ALTHOUGH THAT IS THE
BEST CASE SCENARIO.
BUT EVEN THE ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
OF IT OF JUST SAYING THIS THIS
MAY HAVE A NEGATIVE IMPACT ON
OTHER THINGS THAT WE'RE TRYING
TO DO.
AND SO I THINK IT'S VERY
IMPORTANT.
SO THANK YOU, COUNCILMEMBER
WITH KRAUS FOR PUTTING THAT
FORWARD VERY MUCH APPRECIATE. 
THANK YOU.
>> THANK YOU.
CASIMIR CARRASCO. 
YES.
I THINK YOU AND I TOO.
YOU KNOW, I DON'T I DON'T WANT
TO CONTINUE PROLONGING THIS.
I JUST WANTED TO THANK
EVERYBODY.
I KNOW THAT THIS HAS BEEN YOU
KNOW, ONE OF THE GREATEST
CRISES THAT WE'VE BEEN FACING
IN OUR COMPOUNDED WITH WITH THE
PANDEMIC, THE FIRES, EVERYTHING
ELSE THAT WE'RE FACING. 
BUT I DID WANT TO ASK.
EXCUSE ME ALLERGIES NOT
ANYTHING ELSE. 
SORRY.
>> I WANTED TO ASK YOU KNOW
WHAT STRUCK ME WAS ONE OF THE
SLIDES TWO OF THE SLIDES THAT
YOU SHOWED SORRY. 
WHICH WAS THE INCOME GAP WHICH
WAS REALLY STARTLING, REALLY
VERY STARTLING BECAUSE WE'VE
BEEN ADDRESSING IT I THINK IN A
LOT OF .
>> I'M SORRY EXCUSE ME. 
>> WE'VE BEEN ADDRESSING IT
OTHER POLICIES AND OTHER ISSUES
THAT WE'VE BEEN DEALING WITH.
AND I CAN LIST THEM BUT I
WON'T.
BUT WHEN WE LOOK AT THAT
AT THAT SLIDE AND IF YOU DON'T
MIND JUST POPPING IT UP THERE,
LEE OR WHOEVER WAS WAS IN
CHARGE OF THAT. 
SO I THINK IT'S WORTH JUST
LOOKING AT IT BRIEFLY AND HOW
THAT INCOME INEQUALITY AND THAT
INCOME GAP IS GROWING
EXPONENTIALLY.
AND AND OF COURSE WE'RE HEARING
THE RHETORIC AS THE ELECTIONS
ARE COMING UP.
RIGHT.
BUT I THINK HERE ESPECIALLY IN
SILICON VALLEY TO LOOK AT THAT
INCOME GAP IT BECOMES EVEN MORE
AS IT BECOMES AN EVEN MORE
STARK REALITY BECAUSE THE COST
OF LIVING IS SO EXPENSIVE AND
YOU KNOW, I I I TOOK MY KIDS
OUT TO SOUTHERN CAL FOUR FOR A
FEW DAYS TO THE DESERT AND I
SAW THE DIFFERENCE EVEN IN
TERMS OF BUYING FRESH FRUIT AND
EGGS.
THE DIFFERENCE OF MY GROCERY
BILL DOWN THERE VERSUS UP HERE
AND I HEARD ONCE SOMEONE SAY
POVERTY IS MANMADE.
>> AND BOY, IS THAT NOT THE
TRUTH WHEN WE TALK ABOUT
LEGISLATURE NATION AND WE TALK
ABOUT THE POLICIES AND I THINK
COUNCIL MEMBER AS FAR AS THIS
ONE THAT SAID, YOU KNOW, WE
HAVE THE TOOLS IN OUR HANDS BUT
I THINK ABOUT ABOUT POVERTY AND
HOW WE ALSO HELP EITHER
ALLEVIATE THAT OR WE HELP
EXASPERATE IT, HOW WE ON ANY
GIVEN TO SAY CAN DO ONE OR THE
OTHER.
>> AND WHAT COMES TO MIND IS
SOME OF THE POLICIES THAT WE'VE
HELPED PASS SUCH AS INCREASING
MINIMUM WAGE OF COURSE
EXTENDING THE MORATORIUM ON
EVICTION ON EVICTIONS AND SOME
MY OTHER CONSOLE COLLEAGUES
HAVE ALREADY TALKED ABOUT HIM
SO I I WON'T REPEAT IT.
BUT BUT I THINK THAT AS WE MOVE
FORWARD WE'RE REALLY GOING TO
HAVE TO REALLY TAKE INTO
ACCOUNT THIS GRAPH IN JUST
ABOUT EVERYTHING THAT WE DO AND
HOW WE DECIDE EVERY SINGLE
POLICY MOVING FORWARD AND THE
QUESTION THAT I HAD.
AND SO THE OTHER GRAPH THAT I
WANTED YOU TO PUT UP WAS THE
RACIAL DISPARITIES AS THEY ARE
REPRESENTED NOT JUST IN OUR
HOMELESSNESS BECAUSE THAT'S SO
ALARMING TO ME AND I THINK MY
COUNCIL COLLEAGUES FOR HAVING
PASSED THE BUDGET THIS YEAR BUT
ESPECIALLY HAVING PUT FUNDING
BEHIND THE OFFICE OF THAT WILL
EXAMINE THE RACIAL DISPARITIES
IN THE CITY OF SAN JOSE BECAUSE
NOW MORE THAN EVER AS WE'RE
LOOKING AT THESE NUMBERS AND
WE'VE SEEN THEM ALREADY BUT NOW
AS WE'RE REALLY LOOKING
AT THESE NUMBERS WE HAVE TO DO
A DEEP DOVE TO SEE WHAT IS
HAPPENING IN THE CITY OF SAN
JOSE AND HOW WE'RE GOING TO
START TO TRULY ADDRESS AND DO A
REALLY DEEP DOVE TO START
RECTIFY SOME OF THIS. 
>> AND SO WE'VE BEEN TALKING
ABOUT DISPLACEMENT AND
GENTRIFICATION BUT NOW WE HAVE
TO REALLY PUT SOME SOME TEETH
INTO THE POLICIES THAT WE'RE
CREATING BECAUSE WE WE'RE IN
DANGER OF SEEING A CITY THAT'S
GOING TO LOOK VASTLY DIFFERENT
THAN WHAT WE'VE SEEN IN THE
PAST.
>> THE CITY THAT I'VE GROWN UP
IN AND AND WE CAN'T WE CAN'T
POSSIBLY HAVE A HEALTHY ECONOMY
IF WE DON'T HAVE ALL SECTORS
LIVING HERE IN THE CITY OF SAN
.
>> AND SO THE THE LAST QUESTION
I JUST WANTED TO ASK AND I
DON'T KNOW WHO THIS IS
ADDRESSED TO WHEN WE LOOK
AT ALL OF THIS AND ESPECIALLY
THE INCOME GAP THAT'S GROWING.
>> ARE WE ALSO TAKING INTO
ACCOUNT HOW CODED 19 AND HOW
SHELTER IN PLACE AND THE
ECONOMY SHUT DOWN IS IMPACTING
ALL OF US?
WILL THAT BE?
WILL THAT BE INTEGRATED INTO
THIS INTO THIS REPORT?
BECAUSE THAT'S GOING TO EVEN
FURTHER EXASPERATE ALL THESE
NUMBERS THAT WE'VE SEEN AND ALL
THE GRAPHS THAT YOU JUST PUT UP
THERE THAT'S GOING TO HAVE AN
EVEN FURTHER IMPACT BY COBURN
AMBROSE'S JUMP IN AND SAY
YOU'VE COVID 19 AND THE REALITY
IS ROUND IT HAS TO BE A PART
OF OUR PLANNING GOING FORWARD. 
>> EVERYONE WHO'S WORKED ON
THIS PLAN HAS ACKNOWLEDGED THAT
FROM THE MOMENT WE STARTED
SEEING PEOPLE COME IN AND JUST
A DESTINATION HOME WORKING ON
OUR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE
INITIATIVES SACRED HEART AND 70
OTHER COMMUNITY BASED
ORGANIZATIONS WE'VE SEEN THIRTY
TWO THOUSAND PEOPLE REQUEST
HELP. 
WE HAVE SIXTY FIVE THOUSAND
HOUSEHOLDS PLUS THAT ARE
EXTREMELY LOW INCOME IN
SANTA CLARA COUNTY AND THEY
WERE READY ONE PAYCHECK AWAY
FROM ENDING UP ON THE STREETS.
SO NOW MORE THAN EVER BEFORE
OUR COMMUNITIES ON THE BRINK.
SO A CORE PART PLANNING AND YOU
SEE I MEAN YOU POINTED OUT
SPECIFICALLY THAT WEALTH GAP
AND THAT INCOME GAP CHART THAT
WE HAD UP THERE I MEAN WE'RE
BEGINNING TO SEE MORE AND MORE
THE NEED FOR THINKING ABOUT
THINGS LIKE BASIC INCOME AND
HOW WE CAN PROVIDE ONGOING
SUBSIDIES JUST TO POOR PEOPLE,
JUST PEOPLE NOT PEOPLE THAT
HAVE DISABILITIES, NOT FOLKS
THAT ARE ON THE STREETS.
JUST VERY POOR PEOPLE NEED
CONSISTENT SUSTAINED SUPPORT.
SO WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO
FIGURE OUT SOMETHING AND WE'RE
GOING TO HAVE A LOT MORE PEOPLE
ON THE STREETS IN THE COMING
YEARS.
>> AND I THINK WE'RE GOING TO
SAY SOMETHING.
JACKIE, WAS THAT ALL RIGHT?
>> YES, AND WHEN THE HOUSING
DEPARTMENT COMES WITH ITS ANTI
DISPLACEMENT PLAN, THE FIRST
STRATEGY IS JUST LOOKING
AT COVID 19 AND THE IMPACTS
OF COVID 19 AND WHAT HAS
HAPPENED AS A RESULT OF THAT TO
OUR COMMUNITIES BECAUSE OF THIS
WHOLE ISSUE OF DISPLACEMENT AND
BECAUSE WE KNOW FROM THAT
INCOME CHART THE OTHER IMPACT
THAT WE DIDN'T SHOW WAS THAT
THOSE HIGHER INCOMES ARE ALSO
DRIVING MEDIAN RENTS.
SO EVEN ON THE AFFORDABLE
HOUSING SIDE WHEN WE'RE SETTING
THESE ARE THE RENTS THEIR BASED
ON THESE NUMBERS THAT COME OUT
EVERY YEAR THAT ARE INCREASED
EVERY YEAR BUT THEY'RE NOT
INCREASING ON THE LEVELS OR
EVEN PROVIDING HOUSING TO
PEOPLE.
THEY'RE INCREASING AT THAT
HIGHER NUMBER.
AND SO THE IMPACTS TO PEOPLE
AND WE'RE SEEING IT THROUGH
POVERTY 19 END UP BEING EVEN
MORE DREADFUL BOTH IN OUR
AFFORDABLE HOUSING AND OUR
REGULAR HOUSING STOCK.
>> SO WE WILL BE TRACKING THAT
THROUGH THAT PARTICULAR PLAN AS
WELL.
>> YEAH.
AND I THINK THE BAY AREA
SILICON VALLEY SAN JOSE POSES
SUCH AN INTERESTING CASE STUDY,
IF YOU WILL.
BECAUSE WE'RE SUCH AN EDUCATED
COMMUNITY SO IT TENDS TO SKEW A
GREAT DEAL OF OUR OF OUR
NUMBERS.
I WAS LOOKING AT A LOT OF THE
NUMBERS IN LOS ANGELES, FOR
EXAMPLE, AND SO BECAUSE IT'S
SUCH A LARGE CITY AND VERY
DIVERSE YOU KNOW, I KNOW THE
INCOMES COUNCIL MEMBER FOR FOUR
L.A. COUNCIL DISTRICT 14,
FORMER SENATOR KEVIN LEONE. 
I OF COURSE I KNOW HIM VERY
WELL.
YOU KNOW, THAT'S A VERY POOR, 
VERY, VERY POOR COMMUNITY AND
IT HAS THE LARGEST HOMELESS
POPULATION IN THE ENTIRE
COUNTRY. 
RIGHT.
SKID ROW.
AND SO BUT IT ALSO HAS VERY
WEALTHY COMMUNITIES.
IT HAS EAGLE ROCK. 
IT HAS YOU KNOW, PARTS
OF HOLLYWOOD HAS PARTS OF LOS
FELIZ, PARTS OF BEVERLY HILLS.
SO BUT.
BUT MY POINT IS IS THAT YOU CAN
SEE DOWNTOWN THEY ARE HUNGRY
FOR TENANTS.
THEY'RE DROPPING THEIR THEIR
RENTS.
THEY'RE DOING EVERYTHING AND
ANYTHING TO ENTICE PEOPLE TO
THREE, FOUR, FIVE MONTHS
OF FREE RENT. 
IT'S INSANE WHAT WHAT THE
MARKET IS DOING OVER THERE.
BUT A LOT OF FOLKS WHO ARE NOT
ASSUMING THEY'RE STILL WORKING
OUT THERE THEY'RE YOU KNOW,
VERY DIFFERENT FROM WHAT'S
HAPPENING IN SC OR IN SILICON
VALLEY IN GENERAL. 
WHAT I'VE HEARD HERE IN THE
VALLEY IS THAT FOLKS WHO ARE
WORKING FROM HOME YOU KNOW FROM
TECH AH AH AH AH TECH COMPANIES
ARE ACTUALLY BEING GIVEN BONUS
CHECKS BECAUSE NOW THEY'RE
WORKING FROM HOME.
THEY DON'T HAVE THE INCENTIVES
EATING ON CAMPUS NOW THEY'RE
USING THEIR OWN ELECTRICITY SO
THEY'RE GETTING A THOUSAND
DOLLAR BONUS CHECKS TO STAY
HOME TO ZOOM FROM HOME, TO
EAT THEIR OWN FOOD, TO USE
THEIR OWN ELECTRICITY. 
I MEAN IT'S YOU KNOW, IT'S MIND
BLOWING WHEN I HAVE A DISTRICT
WHO LIKE I SAID, YOU KNOW, IN
ITS PEAK I HAD FAMILIES FOR
THREE HOURS ALMOST ALMOST
DIRECTLY OUTSIDE OF MY
DRIVEWAY.
YOU KNOW, AROUND BLOCKS WAITING
FOR TWO LITTLE BOXES OF FOOD. 
I MEAN JUST YOU KNOW, THE
DISPARITIES ARE SO GLARING AND
THEY'RE THEY'RE HEART WRENCHING
,VERY DIFFICULT.
VERY DIFFICULT TO SEE THE
DIFFERENCES IN IN THESE IN
THESE DIFFERENT WORLDS. 
AND SO I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR
FOR SOME VERY DIFFICULT WORK
THAT YOU HAVE AHEAD OF YOU. 
BUT IT'S VERY CRITICAL WORK TO
MAKE SURE THAT OUR FAMILIES ARE
NOT GOING TO END UP ON THE
STREET AND THOSE ARE ALREADY
THERE REALLY FIGURE OUT THAT IN
JUST THE LAST THING I'M GOING
TO SAY I THINK AT ONE POINT WE
ALL THOUGHT THAT HOMELESSNESS
WAS CURED BY JUST BUILDING MORE
AND MORE AND NOW WE'RE SEEING
THAT'S NOT THE ONLY SOLUTION
AND IT DOESN'T COME ON ITS OWN.
IT'S IT'S GOING TO TAKE A LOT
OTHER SUPPORTIVE SOLUTIONS
BESIDES JUST BUILDING WHICH IS
PREVENTATIVE WHICH IS
POTENTIALLY AS RAY SAID,
CONSIDERING A BASIC INCOME IT'S
IT'S GOING TO BE THINKING
OUTSIDE OF THE BOX IN A WAY
THAT WE NEVER THOUGHT WE'D GET
THERE AND WE'RE GOING TO HAVE
TO PUSH OURSELVES TO GET THERE
WITHOUT THINKING THAT IT IS
CHANGING A PHILOSOPHICAL OR
POLITICAL, YOU KNOW, VALUE
SYSTEM.
>> IT'S JUST REALLY THROWING
PEOPLE A LIFELINE BECAUSE
THAT'S WHERE THEY'RE THEY'RE
BARELY HANGING ON.
AND FOR THOSE WHO DON'T BELIEVE
IT.
I WELCOME INTO MY DISTRICT SO
YOU CAN REALLY SEE WHAT
FAMILIES ARE GOING THROUGH.
AND WHEN YOU'RE IN THAT KIND
OF SENSE OF DESPERATION, PEOPLE
DO DESPERATE THINGS TO SURVIVE
AND TO PROTECT THEIR CHILDREN.
AND THIS IS ABOUT PROTECTING
THEIR CHILDREN OR OR OTHERWISE
CHILDREN END UP IN VERY
VULNERABLE, VERY VULNERABLE, 
DANGEROUS PLACES.
AND SO SO AS WE AS WE TALKED
ABOUT THE THE SIGNIFICANT ROLES
THAT WOMEN PLAY IN LEADERSHIP
ROLES AND NOW BEING ABLE TO
VOTE BEING ABLE TO BE ELECTED, 
BEING ABLE TO INFORM POLICY, I
CALL UPON MY MY MY FEMALE
COUNTERPARTS AND AND ALSO MY MY
MALE COLLEAGUES TO REALLY THINK
ABOUT WHAT THIS MEANS FOR
CHILDREN WHO GROW UP IN A SENSE
OF INSECURITY AND INSTABILITY
AND FOR WOMEN WHO SUDDENLY ARE
LEFT ALONE HAVING TO BEAR THE
BRUNT OF LOOKING TO SEE HOW
THEY PROVIDE FOR THEIR CHILDREN
IN THAT IN A VERY UNSTABLE
ENVIRONMENT THE WORLD HAS BEEN
TURNED UPSIDE DOWN ON THEM
COMPLETELY.
>> IF THEY WERE BARELY HANGING
ON NOW SUDDENLY IT'S IT'S A NEW
WORLD, NEW FEARS, NEW SENSE
OF INSECURITY, NEW DANGERS
REALLY VERY VULNERABLE
VULNERABLE PLACE TO BE.
>> SO THANK YOU AGAIN TO
EVERYBODY AND AND THANK YOU FOR
KEEPING OUR FAMILIES SAFE. 
>> THANK YOU.
>> I JUST WANT TO SAY THANK YOU
AGAIN TO ALL THE PARTNERS WHO
ARE WORKING SO HARD ON THIS.
>> AND I THINK DESPITE ALL THE
PAIN THAT WE SEE OUT THERE ON
THE STREET IN OUR COMMUNITY, I
THINK WE NEED TO ACKNOWLEDGE
THAT WE ARE DOING THINGS NOW
THAT WE NEVER IMAGINED DOING
BEFORE GETTING MORE THAN 14000
PEOPLE HOUSED.
IT'S NO SMALL FEAT AND IT'S
BECAUSE IT'S TREMENDOUS WORK
OF A LOT OF PEOPLE WHO WERE
VERY TIRED BUT VERY COMMITTED
AND I'M GRATEFUL FOR THAT.
I KNOW THERE WAS A LOT
DISCUSSION I THINK EARLY CANCER
ON CAMPUS RAISED THIS ISSUE AND
I'VE HEARD IT BEFORE FROM
OTHERS AND I JUST WANT IT
SQUARELY ADDRESSES THIS NOTION
OF ACQUIRING PROPERTIES AND
ACQUIRING REAL ESTATE ASSETS
RATHER THAN BUILDING.
AND WE ALL KNOW CONSTRUCTION IS
EXPENSIVE BUT THE COST
ACQUISITION IS DEFINITELY NOT
CHEAP.
AND JACK, CERTAINLY HAPPY TO
HAVE YOUR THOUGHTS ON THIS.
WE ARE CERTAINLY ACQUIRING
MOTELS.
I KNOW THAT WE ARE.
WE JUST SUBMITTED FOR STATE
MONEY JUST TWO WEEKS AGO.
I THINK FOR ANOTHER MOTEL.
WE'RE CERTAINLY GOING TO
CONTINUE THAT STRATEGY WHERE WE
CAN.
BUT I KNEW WHEN YOU ACQUIRE
ACQUIRED AGED ASSET USED ASSET
IT MEANS YOU'VE GOT REPAIRS AND
CAPITAL REPLACEMENT, NO
PLUMBING AND ELECTRICAL AND
THAT'S NOT CHEAP EITHER.
IN ADDITION TO THE VERY
EXPENSIVE PRICE YOU JUST PAID
FOR IT.
AND I GUESS MOST IMPORTANTLY
WE'VE GOTTA EXPAND SUPPLY.
WE CAN'T SIMPLY ACQUIRE OLD
HOTELS AND THINK WE'RE SOLVING
HOMELESSNESS BECAUSE A LOT
OF THOSE OLD MOTELS WE KNOW
WE'RE ALREADY HOUSING HOMELESS
PEOPLE JUST DOING MORE INFORMAL
WAY AND THE SAME THING WITH YOU
KNOW, JUST ACQUIRING APARTMENTS
IF THEY'RE RUNDOWN APARTMENTS
THEY WERE PROBABLY HOUSING
SOMEBODY. 
AND SO WE'VE GOT TO FIND A WAY
TO EXPAND SUPPLY.
JACKIE, IF YOU WANT TO JUST
TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THIS
ISSUE ABOUT ACQUIRING VERSUS
EXPANDING.
>> SURE.
SO THAT PUT DEPARTMENT HAS HAD
A VERY STRONG FOCUS ON BUILDING
.
BECAUSE OF THIS WHOLE ISSUE
OF SUPPLY.
AND WE ABSOLUTELY NEED TO
CONTINUE THAT WORK.
AND CERTAINLY WHEN WE'RE
THINKING EVEN ACQUIRING AN
OLDER BUILDING THERE CONTINUES
TO BE CHALLENGES NOT ABOUT JUST
ABOUT THE OLDER BUILDING ITSELF
BUT WHO IS GOING TO OPERATE AND
MAINTAIN THEM WHEN THEY'RE
SMALLER BUILDINGS. 
TALK TO OUR DEVELOPERS AND THE
ALL THE DEVELOPERS WE HAVE NOW
WANT TO DO BIGGER BUILDINGS AND
SO THEY'RE NOT INTERESTED IN
SMALLER, MORE AFFORDABLE
BUILDINGS.
AND THEN IF WE WANT TO
DESIGNATE THEM FOR HOMELESS
PEOPLE THEN WE END UP
DISPLACING THE FAMILIES AND
OTHER COMMUNITY MEMBERS WHO
HAVE BEEN USING THAT AND
LITERALLY IS THE ONLY HOUSING
THAT THEY CAN AFFORD TO LIVE
IN.
>> AND SO WHEN WE COME WITH OUR
ANTI DISPARATE DISPLACEMENT
PLAN THERE IS A 1 PRIORITY
WHERE WE DO WANT TO FIGURE OUT
HOW WE CAN ACQUIRE THESE MORE
MODESTLY SMALLER BUILDINGS IN
ORDER TO GIVE MORE CONTROL TO
TENANTS. 
>> BUT WE WANT TO DO THAT AS AN
OVERALL PRESERVATION PLAN FOR
ACTUALLY THE PEOPLE WHO ARE
LIVING THERE NOW.
>> RIGHT TO ENSURE THAT THEY
CAN CONTINUE TO LIVE THERE AND
HAVE SOME OF THE SECURITY THAT
AS A RENTER YOU YOU OFTEN DON'T
HAVE.
AND I WOULD SAY LASTLY WE DO
HAVE 10 MILLION DOLLARS THE
COUNCIL DIRECTED US TO USE FOR
ACQUISITION.
AND SO WE WILL BE TRYING TO
FIGURE OUT HOW TO RELEASE THAT
WHEN WE RELEASE OUR SECOND NO.
COMING UP THIS FALL SO THAT WE
CAN AT LEAST GET THAT 10
MILLION DOLLAR OUT TO SEE IF WE
CAN ACQUIRE SOMETHING.
AND THEN FINALLY WE ARE LOOKING
AT MODERATE INCOME STRATEGY
AGAIN.
KOGUT, 19, IS HIT THE
DEPARTMENT HARD BUT THERE IS
THIS MODERATE INCOME STRATEGY
THAT WOULD HAVE A SUPPLIER
BRAND NEW RESIDENTIAL
DEVELOPMENT FOR MODERATE
MODERATE INCOME POPULATIONS
HOUSEHOLDS.
AND SO THERE IS A MODEL OUT
THERE.
IT'S JUST AGAIN GETTING THE
BRAINPOWER IN CAPACITY TO MOVE
THAT ONE FORWARD.
SO WE YOU KNOW, WE'VE DUSTED IT
OFF AS WE'RE TRYING TO COME
BACK TO LIFE DURING CODED.
BUT WE JUST NEED TO REALLY FIND
TIME TO GET THAT OVER THE GOAL
LINE AS A POSSIBILITY FOR
AT LEAST YOU ALL TO CONSIDER AS
AN OPPORTUNITY FOR ACQUISITION
OF NEW HOUSING WHERE WE DON'T
HAVE TO DISPLACE ANYONE.
>> THANKS, JACKIE. 
CLEARLY IT'S PART OF OUR
STRATEGY BUT IT'S CERTAINLY NOT
A PANACEA.
WE RECOGNIZE WE'VE GOT TO DO
SOMETHING ABOUT EXPANDING
SUPPLY OF HOUSING FOR PEOPLE
QUICKLY CANNOT AFFORD MARKET
RATE. 
SO THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR WORK.
>> LET'S VOTE ON A MOTION FROM
COUNCIL MEMBER PERALEZ I
MEAN YES YES PERALEZ. 
>> MOSCOW I HI THIS I ESPARZA.
YES ARENAS YES. 
FOLEY I KHAMIS I DON'T KNOW I. 
>> OK WE'RE WELL PAST OUR
SCHEDULE DINNER TIME.
I JUST WANT TO TRY TO WRAP UP
THAT ITEM.
WHEN DO WE TAKE A BREAK AND
RETURN IT?
715 THEY WON'T HAVE ENOUGH TIME
TO.
IT WILL GET A LITTLE FOOD.
