15
00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:47,400
one

16
00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:48,400
item on our study session this evening,

17
00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:50,400
which is city

18
00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:52,400
council study session update

19
00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:53,400
on the city's anti-displacement work

20
00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:54,400
plan. City manager?

21
00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:56,400
>>

22
00:08:56,400 --> 00:08:58,400
sure, thank you, mayor, thank

23
00:08:58,400 --> 00:09:02,400
you, council. Jovan grogan, city manager. Tonight's

24
00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:04,400
presentation will be provided by

25
00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:05,400
our director of community development. Quick note,

26
00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:07,400
staff is presenting

27
00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:11,000
a study session and requesting feedback

28
00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:14,400
from you on adopted policies

29
00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:15,400
in our housing element

30
00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:16,400
for anti-displacement. The council

31
00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:17,400
adopted these policies in may 2024

32
00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:19,400
and

33
00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:20,400
cities are required to implement the

34
00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:22,400
policies with

35
00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:23,400
meaningful programs and actions. There

36
00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:25,800
are, and I count,

37
00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:27,400
21 housing element actions

38
00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:29,400
related to anti-displacement and how

39
00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:31,400
displacement can

40
00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:32,400
be prevented in santa clara. Compliance

41
00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:34,400
with these

42
00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:35,400
policies and implementation ensures eligibility for

43
00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:37,400
future funding under

44
00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:41,400
programs such as the one bay area

45
00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:42,400
grant or what we commonly

46
00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:44,400
refer to as obag. The city has committed

47
00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:46,400
to explore a

48
00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:47,400
variety of new policies to prevent

49
00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:49,400
displacement in

50
00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:50,400
santa clara and must follow through

51
00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:52,400
to ensure

52
00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:54,400
the housing element and

53
00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:56,400
our transit-oriented development policy

54
00:09:56,400 --> 00:09:58,800
are in compliance. With

55
00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:02,400
that, I will turn the presentation

56
00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:04,800
over to the director

57
00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:07,400
of community development.

58
00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:09,400
>> thank you.

59
00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:13,400
>> welcome. >>

60
00:10:14,400 --> 00:10:16,400
thank you, good evening,

61
00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:18,800
mayor, councilmembers. Let's begin

62
00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:22,400
the

63
00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:23,400
presentation. So first I'll do introductions. Okay. We

64
00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:25,400
have a number

65
00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:28,400
of staff that

66
00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:31,400
have been working

67
00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:32,400
on this. Leslie xavier, the planning

68
00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:34,400
manager, adam

69
00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:37,400
marcus, housing and

70
00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:40,400
community services manager. John

71
00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:41,400
baty a critical staff to us. He also

72
00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:43,400
worked on the

73
00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:44,400
housing element itself. And then tonight we

74
00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:46,400
will

75
00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:49,400
also hear

76
00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:52,400
from

77
00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:53,400
the community planning collaborative. They

78
00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:55,400
provide technical assistance

79
00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:58,800
across multiple jurisdictions, and

80
00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:01,400
they are

81
00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:02,400
funded by abag, mtc abag. They're

82
00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:03,400
independent, but they've

83
00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:05,400
been helping multiple jurisdictions

84
00:11:05,400 --> 00:11:07,400
with housing

85
00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:11,400
elements as well as this

86
00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:13,400
phase,

87
00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:15,400
which is the implementation phase. So

88
00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:17,400
the agenda for tonight is we will

89
00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:19,400
go over the

90
00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:20,400
purpose of this study session, housing

91
00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:22,400
element recap, what

92
00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:25,400
is displacement, the impacts

93
00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:26,400
of displacement, santa clara's work

94
00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:28,400
plan,

95
00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:29,400
update on the community planning collaborative,

96
00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:31,400
next

97
00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:34,400
steps,

98
00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:36,400
and then, as the city manager said, we

99
00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:37,400
are seeking

100
00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:38,400
council discussion and feedback on

101
00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:40,400
this item before

102
00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:44,400
we come back to you in the spring. So the purpose

103
00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:47,400
is to provide an overview of residential

104
00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:49,800
displacement, its forms, drivers,

105
00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:51,400
and potential impacts, highlight existing

106
00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:53,400
state

107
00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:55,400
laws and actions that the city

108
00:11:55,400 --> 00:11:56,400
is already implementing to reduce

109
00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:58,400
displacement,

110
00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:00,400
identify potential new

111
00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:02,400
and expanded programs for evaluation,

112
00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:04,400
and of course,

113
00:12:05,400 --> 00:12:07,400
obtain early

114
00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:10,400
input

115
00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:14,400
and feedback from city council. So this

116
00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:15,400
is a graphic, and it really describes

117
00:12:15,400 --> 00:12:17,400
what

118
00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:19,800
we are working with

119
00:12:20,400 --> 00:12:21,400
and where homelessness and displacement

120
00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:23,400
work. A few

121
00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:25,400
weeks ago, staff presented a session

122
00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:26,400
on homelessness. It is important to

123
00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:28,400
think about

124
00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:31,400
the larger housing crisis

125
00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:32,400
and instability that it causes. At

126
00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:34,400
the

127
00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:36,400
base is the supply of housing. And

128
00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:38,400
when supply

129
00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:41,400
does not meet demand, more and

130
00:12:41,400 --> 00:12:44,400
more people experience cost burden. So we

131
00:12:44,400 --> 00:12:46,400
are working, and you have been

132
00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:48,400
directing us to do more building of units. And

133
00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:50,400
we are in

134
00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:53,400
the

135
00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:55,400
process of getting

136
00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:57,400
those units completed. But for every

137
00:12:57,400 --> 00:12:59,400
14 jobs in the bay area,

138
00:12:59,400 --> 00:13:00,400
there is one unit of housing. That

139
00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:02,400
unit

140
00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:05,400
of housing could be an rv. It could

141
00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:09,400
be an adu. It could be a single-family

142
00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:10,400
home. It could be a duplex,

143
00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:12,400
townhome, any one of those. So that

144
00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:14,400
should

145
00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:16,400
give you the importance

146
00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:18,400
of this. Anti-displacement programs

147
00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:19,400
and

148
00:13:19,400 --> 00:13:21,400
homelessness prevention programs are

149
00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:23,400
deeply interconnected. Although

150
00:13:23,400 --> 00:13:26,400
our focus tonight is displacement,

151
00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:29,400
it's important to

152
00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:31,400
understand

153
00:13:31,400 --> 00:13:32,400
that our efforts are frontline defense

154
00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:33,400
against homelessness. At the very,

155
00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:35,400
very top

156
00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:36,400
of the pyramid are programs to help

157
00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:37,400
people

158
00:13:37,400 --> 00:13:39,400
experiencing homelessness. And this

159
00:13:39,400 --> 00:13:41,400
can be shelter,

160
00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:42,400
supportive housing, rapid rehousing,

161
00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:44,400
and interim

162
00:13:44,400 --> 00:13:48,400
housing. And then our goal is always

163
00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:51,400
to get people to the bottom of

164
00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:53,400
the pyramid into

165
00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:55,400
stable housing

166
00:13:55,400 --> 00:13:57,400
with affordable housing production and

167
00:13:57,400 --> 00:14:00,400
preservation. This is called the

168
00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:03,400
three ps, and we will get into that

169
00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:06,400
as well. So this was

170
00:14:06,400 --> 00:14:08,800
just shared with us

171
00:14:09,400 --> 00:14:12,400
recently. The point in time count

172
00:14:12,400 --> 00:14:13,400
from 2019 to 2025. And

173
00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:15,400
this is a high level. We're still

174
00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:17,400
analyzing

175
00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:18,400
the numbers. We still have a lot of

176
00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:20,400
data

177
00:14:21,400 --> 00:14:23,400
to go through. But the overall message

178
00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:27,000
is more people are entering homelessness

179
00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:29,400
and then exiting homelessness in

180
00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:30,400
the region. And I don't want to dwell

181
00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:32,400
too much on the

182
00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:33,400
numbers, because like I said, we're

183
00:14:33,400 --> 00:14:35,400
still analyzing these

184
00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:39,400
numbers and kind of going through

185
00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:41,800
them. I do want

186
00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:44,400
to focus a little bit

187
00:14:44,400 --> 00:14:48,400
on the primary causes of homelessness. So

188
00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:51,400
this is from the county of santa

189
00:14:51,400 --> 00:14:53,400
clara, and it's

190
00:14:53,400 --> 00:14:54,400
for january 2025. The fourth leading

191
00:14:54,400 --> 00:14:56,400
cause

192
00:14:57,400 --> 00:14:59,400
of homelessness reinforces the

193
00:14:59,400 --> 00:15:01,400
connection between homelessness and

194
00:15:01,400 --> 00:15:04,400
displacement. So it's eviction and

195
00:15:06,400 --> 00:15:07,400
rent

196
00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:08,400
increases. It's almost like above

197
00:15:08,400 --> 00:15:09,400
11%. So I want to give you a recap

198
00:15:09,400 --> 00:15:11,400
of

199
00:15:12,400 --> 00:15:14,800
the housing element over

200
00:15:15,400 --> 00:15:18,400
the next two slides and why. The next

201
00:15:18,400 --> 00:15:20,400
two slides are a

202
00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:21,400
recap because anti-displacement is

203
00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:23,400
embedded throughout this

204
00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:26,400
document. In fact, 21 actions throughout

205
00:15:27,400 --> 00:15:29,800
the housing element are

206
00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:32,400
embedded

207
00:15:32,400 --> 00:15:33,400
--are embedded with anti-displacement. And while we

208
00:15:33,400 --> 00:15:35,400
often hear about all

209
00:15:35,400 --> 00:15:36,400
the projects that we are bringing

210
00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:38,400
for construction

211
00:15:39,400 --> 00:15:42,400
and for approval or tentative map

212
00:15:42,400 --> 00:15:44,400
or for, you know, units, what

213
00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:45,400
is also important is the actions and

214
00:15:45,400 --> 00:15:47,400
that

215
00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:50,400
we follow

216
00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:54,400
through on the actions. The city of

217
00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:56,400
santa

218
00:15:57,400 --> 00:15:59,400
clara's

219
00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:00,400
regional housing needs is 11,632 units. However, the

220
00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:01,400
housing

221
00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:03,400
element also includes actions and

222
00:16:03,400 --> 00:16:05,400
objectives

223
00:16:05,400 --> 00:16:06,400
and certain timelines to address anti-displacement. So

224
00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:08,400
each year,

225
00:16:09,400 --> 00:16:11,400
the city must

226
00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:12,400
report on its progress towards the

227
00:16:12,400 --> 00:16:14,400
--and this

228
00:16:15,400 --> 00:16:17,400
also includes those actions that we're

229
00:16:17,400 --> 00:16:18,400
talking about tonight. So if hcd determines

230
00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:20,400
that the city

231
00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:24,400
is not making progress on these actions as

232
00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:27,400
well as the units, we could

233
00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:30,400
risk loss of local zoning

234
00:16:30,400 --> 00:16:34,000
control as well as eligibility for

235
00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:38,400
grant funding such as the

236
00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:39,400
obag grant. And then in our housing

237
00:16:39,400 --> 00:16:41,400
element,

238
00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:45,400
this is already adopted, we have

239
00:16:45,400 --> 00:16:46,400
goals. And in chapter two it includes the

240
00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:48,400
city's

241
00:16:48,400 --> 00:16:51,400
program for goals, policies, actions

242
00:16:51,400 --> 00:16:53,800
that promote affirmatively furthering

243
00:16:54,400 --> 00:16:56,800
fair housing for all

244
00:16:57,400 --> 00:16:59,400
persons in the city. The

245
00:16:59,400 --> 00:17:00,400
goals, policies, and action number

246
00:17:00,400 --> 00:17:02,400
13

247
00:17:05,400 --> 00:17:06,400
provide the direction to implement anti-displacement.

248
00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:08,400
another

249
00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:09,400
critical component of why we would

250
00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:12,400
want to implement the goals

251
00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:14,400
and actions is tied

252
00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:18,000
to funding. The bay area jurisdictions

253
00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:20,400
must meet

254
00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:22,400
specific requirements under mtc,

255
00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:24,400
transit-oriented community policies,

256
00:17:24,400 --> 00:17:25,400
with regional goals for equitable

257
00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:27,400
and sustainable

258
00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:28,400
development as well

259
00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:30,400
production, preservation, and protection. And

260
00:17:30,400 --> 00:17:33,400
then just to give you an

261
00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:36,400
idea for obag too, which was

262
00:17:36,400 --> 00:17:38,400
from 2017 to

263
00:17:39,400 --> 00:17:41,400
2022,

264
00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:43,400
the city received $5.8 million. So over the

265
00:17:43,400 --> 00:17:45,400
next portion of

266
00:17:45,400 --> 00:17:48,400
this presentation, we'll go over what

267
00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:51,400
is displacement, including its forms,

268
00:17:51,400 --> 00:17:52,400
factors, and impacts. What is the

269
00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:54,400
city's anti-displacement work

270
00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:57,400
plan as well as the proposed

271
00:17:57,400 --> 00:17:59,400
next

272
00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:02,400
steps on this work plan. So

273
00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:03,400
when residents must relocate from their

274
00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:05,400
homes

275
00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:06,400
or neighborhoods due to factors beyond

276
00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:08,400
their control, these

277
00:18:09,400 --> 00:18:12,400
could include rising rents, inability

278
00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:14,400
to pay, lease

279
00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:15,400
terminations, hazardous buildings,

280
00:18:15,400 --> 00:18:17,400
and

281
00:18:17,400 --> 00:18:18,400
demolitions. The forms of displacement

282
00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:20,400
are three, but

283
00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:23,400
there's a lot

284
00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:26,400
more to this. There's three buckets

285
00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:27,400
here. Direct displacement, indirect,

286
00:18:27,400 --> 00:18:29,400
and cultural displacement. With direct

287
00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:30,400
displacement is when a family or person

288
00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:32,400
is forced to move

289
00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:33,400
because they're evicted or their building

290
00:18:33,400 --> 00:18:36,400
is being torn down. When

291
00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:40,400
this happens, they have to move

292
00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:42,800
out, sometimes away. And

293
00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:48,400
it may not be replaced. The city

294
00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:49,400
--majority of our housing development

295
00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:50,400
is developing on

296
00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:52,400
marginal commercial and industrial

297
00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:53,400
properties, so

298
00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:55,400
that's important to note. The city

299
00:18:55,400 --> 00:18:57,400
has not

300
00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:00,800
yet experienced that direct

301
00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:03,400
displacement for

302
00:19:03,400 --> 00:19:04,400
lower income households. And indirect

303
00:19:04,400 --> 00:19:06,400
displacement is when

304
00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:10,400
a person or family can

305
00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:12,400
no longer stay in their

306
00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:13,400
homes because of rising costs. Cost

307
00:19:13,400 --> 00:19:15,400
burden equals that

308
00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:19,400
30% or more of gross income is spent

309
00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:21,400
on housing,

310
00:19:21,400 --> 00:19:22,400
which is rent and utilities. Cultural

311
00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:24,400
displacement

312
00:19:24,400 --> 00:19:25,400
is when a new development and new residents

313
00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:27,400
change the character

314
00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:30,400
of the area,

315
00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:34,400
and this is often called gentrification. So

316
00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:35,400
there are many factors to

317
00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:37,400
displacement. Incomes not keeping

318
00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:40,400
up with the rising cost

319
00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:42,800
of housing, lack of

320
00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:45,400
tenant

321
00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:46,400
protections, loss of existing affordable

322
00:19:46,400 --> 00:19:48,400
housing,

323
00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:49,400
regional population and job growth

324
00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:51,400
without

325
00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:52,400
enough housing. So the impacts of

326
00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:54,400
displacement are when

327
00:19:55,400 --> 00:19:57,400
this happens

328
00:19:57,400 --> 00:19:58,400
it could be wide ranging. Family members

329
00:19:58,400 --> 00:19:59,400
of our community

330
00:19:59,400 --> 00:20:01,400
are forced to leave their neighborhoods,

331
00:20:01,400 --> 00:20:03,400
and it can

332
00:20:03,400 --> 00:20:04,400
have a longtime impact on livelihoods,

333
00:20:04,400 --> 00:20:05,400
businesses,

334
00:20:05,400 --> 00:20:07,400
social networks. And with limited

335
00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:09,400
resources and ability to

336
00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:10,400
relocate to other housing within their

337
00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:11,400
communities,

338
00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:13,400
many move to affordable locations

339
00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:15,400
far from their

340
00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:18,400
jobs, friends, and

341
00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:19,400
communities, which means longer commutes,

342
00:20:19,400 --> 00:20:21,400
increased traffic,

343
00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:24,800
lost time, and increased

344
00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:26,400
stress. I will now turn the

345
00:20:26,400 --> 00:20:28,400
presentation over to adam marcus,

346
00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:30,400
our

347
00:20:31,400 --> 00:20:33,400
housing and division

348
00:20:33,400 --> 00:20:34,400
services manager. And then I will,

349
00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:36,400
towards

350
00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:42,400
the end, also talk about a survey

351
00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:46,000
we are doing on displacement. Thank

352
00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:47,400
you.

353
00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:48,400
>> welcome. >> thank you, afshan,

354
00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:49,400
city mayor, city council. So when

355
00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:50,400
we talk about displacement and we

356
00:20:50,400 --> 00:20:51,400
talk

357
00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:52,400
about the solutions, we wanted to

358
00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:54,400
talk a little

359
00:20:54,400 --> 00:20:55,400
bit about how we frame those solutions. So

360
00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:57,800
one of the ways

361
00:20:58,400 --> 00:21:01,400
that we frame this discussion at

362
00:21:01,400 --> 00:21:04,400
the regional level is, as afshan mentioned,

363
00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:06,400
the three ps, what is

364
00:21:06,400 --> 00:21:07,400
protection, preservation, and production? Protection

365
00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:09,400
is primarily protection

366
00:21:09,400 --> 00:21:10,400
of tenants. So what are some ways

367
00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:12,400
to

368
00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:15,400
stabilize people where they already

369
00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:16,400
are. Preservation is ensuring that

370
00:21:16,400 --> 00:21:18,800
existing buildings are habitable

371
00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:21,400
and don't come out of the rental

372
00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:22,400
market because they're in bad shape

373
00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:25,400
but also when they are

374
00:21:25,400 --> 00:21:26,400
up for sale that there's a chance

375
00:21:26,400 --> 00:21:27,400
for

376
00:21:27,400 --> 00:21:31,000
them to be converted potentially into

377
00:21:31,400 --> 00:21:32,400
affordable housing. So ways to preserve

378
00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:34,400
the

379
00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:37,400
housing stock as affordable, whether

380
00:21:37,400 --> 00:21:38,400
it's

381
00:21:38,400 --> 00:21:39,400
deed restricted or naturally occurring

382
00:21:39,400 --> 00:21:40,400
affordable housing. And then there's

383
00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:42,400
production, how

384
00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:45,400
do we create --how do we build that

385
00:21:45,400 --> 00:21:46,400
lowest level of and the pyramid and

386
00:21:46,400 --> 00:21:48,400
increase supply. We

387
00:21:48,400 --> 00:21:49,400
also want to frame these solutions

388
00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:50,400
in

389
00:21:50,400 --> 00:21:52,400
context with state law, because over

390
00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:55,400
the last five years, quite a

391
00:21:55,400 --> 00:21:57,400
few new state

392
00:21:58,400 --> 00:22:00,800
laws have come into

393
00:22:01,400 --> 00:22:04,400
play. For example, the tenant protection

394
00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:05,400
act 2020 relates to limiting rent

395
00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:07,400
increases,

396
00:22:07,400 --> 00:22:09,400
eliminates no cause evictions in

397
00:22:09,400 --> 00:22:10,400
certain cases, and requires relocation

398
00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:12,400
assistance in

399
00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:15,800
some instances. The housing

400
00:22:16,400 --> 00:22:17,400
crisis act of

401
00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:19,400
2020 requires noticing when units

402
00:22:19,400 --> 00:22:21,800
are demolish, there's requirements

403
00:22:22,400 --> 00:22:24,400
on replacing them

404
00:22:24,400 --> 00:22:25,400
in an equivalent way. There's also

405
00:22:25,400 --> 00:22:27,800
provisions for a right

406
00:22:28,400 --> 00:22:31,400
of return. So if you live in

407
00:22:31,400 --> 00:22:33,400
a unit and it's converted

408
00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:34,400
or demolished and rebuilt as a larger

409
00:22:34,400 --> 00:22:36,400
building with

410
00:22:37,400 --> 00:22:39,400
new units, there

411
00:22:39,400 --> 00:22:40,400
are provisions there as well. More

412
00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:42,800
recently, there's been legislation

413
00:22:43,400 --> 00:22:46,400
that has reduced the number of months

414
00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:49,400
that --in terms of a deposit that

415
00:22:49,400 --> 00:22:50,400
can be required. It's now one month. So

416
00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:52,400
there

417
00:22:52,400 --> 00:22:55,400
are some changes at the state level

418
00:22:55,400 --> 00:22:57,400
that are happening, but some of them

419
00:22:57,400 --> 00:22:58,400
are vague. Some of them provide minimal

420
00:22:58,400 --> 00:23:00,400
protections, and

421
00:23:01,400 --> 00:23:03,400
some

422
00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:07,000
of them require local enforcement. So

423
00:23:07,400 --> 00:23:09,400
as we step into the solutions chapter

424
00:23:09,400 --> 00:23:10,400
of our presentation, we wanted to

425
00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:12,400
break

426
00:23:13,400 --> 00:23:15,400
our work plan into three

427
00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:16,400
parts. The full work plan is included

428
00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:18,400
as attachment

429
00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:19,400
number one in your staff report, and

430
00:23:19,400 --> 00:23:21,400
I will take

431
00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:25,400
a few minutes to summarize

432
00:23:25,400 --> 00:23:28,400
it here. So the first bucket, actions

433
00:23:28,400 --> 00:23:31,400
underway, means programs we're already

434
00:23:31,400 --> 00:23:32,400
carrying out. The second bucket, actions

435
00:23:32,400 --> 00:23:34,400
committed to doing,

436
00:23:34,400 --> 00:23:37,400
is programs and actions that

437
00:23:37,400 --> 00:23:40,400
we have committed to actually implement.

438
00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:41,400
and the third bucket, actions committed

439
00:23:41,400 --> 00:23:43,400
to evaluating, means

440
00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:45,800
we will conduct outreach

441
00:23:46,400 --> 00:23:47,400
with stakeholders, we'll review best

442
00:23:47,400 --> 00:23:48,400
practices,

443
00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:49,400
we'll investigate these programs and

444
00:23:49,400 --> 00:23:51,400
determine what it

445
00:23:52,400 --> 00:23:55,400
would really take to implement

446
00:23:55,400 --> 00:23:58,400
them. So let's jump into the first

447
00:23:58,400 --> 00:23:59,400
bucket, which is actions underway. As

448
00:23:59,400 --> 00:24:01,400
you

449
00:24:01,400 --> 00:24:02,400
already know, we do

450
00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:04,800
concurrently fund tenant/landlord

451
00:24:05,400 --> 00:24:07,400
dispute resolution services. We

452
00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:08,400
fund the county's homelessness prevention

453
00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:10,400
system. We

454
00:24:11,400 --> 00:24:13,400
continue to

455
00:24:13,400 --> 00:24:14,400
work with affordable housing providers

456
00:24:14,400 --> 00:24:16,400
through capital improvement projects. We

457
00:24:16,400 --> 00:24:20,400
have several of those in process right

458
00:24:20,400 --> 00:24:22,400
now. And we continue to

459
00:24:22,400 --> 00:24:23,400
monitor the city's inventory for at-risk

460
00:24:23,400 --> 00:24:25,400
units

461
00:24:26,400 --> 00:24:28,400
that may be approaching the end

462
00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:29,400
of their term. In the second bucket,

463
00:24:29,400 --> 00:24:32,400
actions committed to doing. These

464
00:24:32,400 --> 00:24:33,400
are things that are in our

465
00:24:33,400 --> 00:24:35,400
housing element that we've said we

466
00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:38,400
would do. They don't require a

467
00:24:38,400 --> 00:24:39,400
lot of extra study. They're

468
00:24:39,400 --> 00:24:41,400
just pretty straight forward. Included in

469
00:24:41,400 --> 00:24:44,400
that bucket is working with

470
00:24:44,400 --> 00:24:46,400
the housing authority

471
00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:47,400
to help promote incentives and education

472
00:24:47,400 --> 00:24:48,400
for

473
00:24:48,400 --> 00:24:50,400
landlords to accept housing vouchers. It's

474
00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:51,400
really hard to get

475
00:24:51,400 --> 00:24:53,400
a housing voucher. It's also hard

476
00:24:53,400 --> 00:24:54,400
to use one. So

477
00:24:54,400 --> 00:24:56,400
it's important to do that ongoing

478
00:24:56,400 --> 00:24:58,800
outreach and to address

479
00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:02,400
some of the concerns and

480
00:25:02,400 --> 00:25:04,400
stigmas related to

481
00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:07,400
renting to someone with a voucher. We

482
00:25:07,400 --> 00:25:08,400
are also --we are also, according

483
00:25:08,400 --> 00:25:10,400
to

484
00:25:10,400 --> 00:25:11,400
the housing element, planning to propose

485
00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:13,800
a new ordinance that

486
00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:16,400
requires landlords to

487
00:25:17,400 --> 00:25:18,400
provide a

488
00:25:18,400 --> 00:25:20,400
city-approved brochure in many languages

489
00:25:20,400 --> 00:25:21,400
to all

490
00:25:21,400 --> 00:25:23,400
tenants at lease signing that. Summarizes

491
00:25:23,400 --> 00:25:24,400
landlord

492
00:25:24,400 --> 00:25:26,400
and tenant rights under state law. We're

493
00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:28,400
also looking

494
00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:29,400
at creating a database so that we

495
00:25:29,400 --> 00:25:31,400
can track

496
00:25:32,400 --> 00:25:34,400
naturally occurring affordable housing,

497
00:25:34,400 --> 00:25:35,400
which is older housing that's less

498
00:25:35,400 --> 00:25:37,400
expensive

499
00:25:37,400 --> 00:25:38,400
because of its age and condition. It's

500
00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:40,400
important

501
00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:43,400
to track this, number one,

502
00:25:43,400 --> 00:25:44,400
because they can be redeveloped, but

503
00:25:44,400 --> 00:25:45,400
also they

504
00:25:45,400 --> 00:25:47,400
can come up for sale and sometimes

505
00:25:47,400 --> 00:25:48,400
those are great opportunities

506
00:25:48,400 --> 00:25:50,400
for acquisition and rehab. And also

507
00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:52,400
we'll

508
00:25:53,400 --> 00:25:56,400
be continuing to monitor our deed-restricted

509
00:25:56,400 --> 00:25:58,400
portfolios. Looking for ways to extend

510
00:25:58,400 --> 00:25:59,400
affordability, especially for extremely

511
00:25:59,400 --> 00:26:01,400
low and

512
00:26:02,400 --> 00:26:04,400
very low-income units

513
00:26:05,400 --> 00:26:07,400
that already

514
00:26:07,400 --> 00:26:08,400
exist. Two more in this bucket. We are,

515
00:26:08,400 --> 00:26:10,400
later this year

516
00:26:11,400 --> 00:26:13,400
and early next

517
00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:16,400
year,

518
00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:17,400
we'll be bringing back the feasibility

519
00:26:17,400 --> 00:26:19,400
study

520
00:26:19,400 --> 00:26:20,400
for the city's ordinance and look to

521
00:26:20,400 --> 00:26:22,400
see if there are

522
00:26:22,400 --> 00:26:23,400
ways to strengthen that in terms of

523
00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:25,400
affordability

524
00:26:25,400 --> 00:26:26,400
and also both for rental and homeownership. And

525
00:26:26,400 --> 00:26:28,400
lastly,

526
00:26:28,400 --> 00:26:29,400
we'll be assessing the feasibility

527
00:26:29,400 --> 00:26:30,400
of updating the

528
00:26:30,400 --> 00:26:32,400
definition of moderate income, because

529
00:26:32,400 --> 00:26:34,400
as

530
00:26:35,400 --> 00:26:36,400
we've heard in our outreach, affordable

531
00:26:36,400 --> 00:26:38,400
isn't affordable anymore. And so if

532
00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:41,400
moderate income is above market, it

533
00:26:41,400 --> 00:26:44,400
doesn't make sense to do --to

534
00:26:44,400 --> 00:26:46,400
require

535
00:26:46,400 --> 00:26:47,400
that. It should be below market. So

536
00:26:47,400 --> 00:26:49,400
our last bucket,

537
00:26:50,400 --> 00:26:52,400
our last work plan bucket, is

538
00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:53,400
measures we're going to evaluate. So

539
00:26:53,400 --> 00:26:54,400
we need to understand them better

540
00:26:54,400 --> 00:26:55,400
and understand

541
00:26:55,400 --> 00:26:59,400
what it would really take before we can

542
00:26:59,400 --> 00:27:01,400
actually implement them and commit

543
00:27:01,400 --> 00:27:02,400
to implementing them. Those include -- and

544
00:27:02,400 --> 00:27:04,400
we already talked about the

545
00:27:04,400 --> 00:27:05,400
rent deposit, which has been addressed

546
00:27:05,400 --> 00:27:07,400
by

547
00:27:08,400 --> 00:27:11,400
state law --but those do include

548
00:27:11,400 --> 00:27:13,400
requiring no net loss

549
00:27:13,400 --> 00:27:14,400
of income-restricted units. So if something

550
00:27:14,400 --> 00:27:16,400
is demolished,

551
00:27:17,400 --> 00:27:19,400
we need to make sure somehow that

552
00:27:19,400 --> 00:27:20,400
those units are replaced. Requiring

553
00:27:20,400 --> 00:27:22,400
the replacement

554
00:27:23,400 --> 00:27:26,400
of affordable units at the same

555
00:27:26,400 --> 00:27:27,400
or a lower affordability level, requiring

556
00:27:27,400 --> 00:27:29,400
landlords to notify tenants at least

557
00:27:29,400 --> 00:27:31,400
one year

558
00:27:32,400 --> 00:27:34,400
in advance

559
00:27:34,400 --> 00:27:35,400
of redevelopment or conversion, requiring

560
00:27:35,400 --> 00:27:38,400
relocation benefits that may go

561
00:27:38,400 --> 00:27:41,400
beyond what the state requires,

562
00:27:41,400 --> 00:27:44,400
enhancing code enforcement to ensure

563
00:27:44,400 --> 00:27:46,400
that we're proactive

564
00:27:47,400 --> 00:27:49,400
with our

565
00:27:50,400 --> 00:27:52,800
multifamily housing stock, and

566
00:27:54,400 --> 00:27:57,400
exploring a community opportunity to

567
00:27:59,400 --> 00:28:00,400
purchase program, with the idea that

568
00:28:00,400 --> 00:28:02,400
it

569
00:28:02,400 --> 00:28:04,400
may increase

570
00:28:05,400 --> 00:28:07,800
the opportunity for acquisition

571
00:28:08,400 --> 00:28:10,400
and rehab. Many of our neighbor cities

572
00:28:10,400 --> 00:28:11,400
are working on similar policies. This

573
00:28:11,400 --> 00:28:13,800
chart that we have

574
00:28:14,400 --> 00:28:16,400
here shows

575
00:28:17,400 --> 00:28:18,400
cities that are continuing, updating,

576
00:28:18,400 --> 00:28:20,400
or evaluating new policies, and

577
00:28:20,400 --> 00:28:23,400
staff will be collaborating on this

578
00:28:23,400 --> 00:28:25,400
work with the santa

579
00:28:25,400 --> 00:28:27,800
clara county planning collaborative,

580
00:28:28,400 --> 00:28:29,400
which has organized an anti-displacement

581
00:28:29,400 --> 00:28:32,400
regional working group. Here to

582
00:28:32,400 --> 00:28:34,400
talk about

583
00:28:35,400 --> 00:28:36,400
this is david

584
00:28:36,400 --> 00:28:38,400
driskell, project lead. David joins

585
00:28:38,400 --> 00:28:41,400
us tonight on zoom, and with that,

586
00:28:41,400 --> 00:28:43,800
I'll pass it to

587
00:28:44,400 --> 00:28:45,400
david.

588
00:28:45,400 --> 00:28:46,400
>> thank you. >> thanks, adam. I'm

589
00:28:46,400 --> 00:28:47,400
going to look

590
00:28:47,400 --> 00:28:50,400
to you to advance slides. Oh,

591
00:28:50,400 --> 00:28:53,400
perfect. On it. Okay, so

592
00:28:53,400 --> 00:28:55,400
I'm just briefly going to talk about

593
00:28:55,400 --> 00:28:57,400
the santa clara planning collaborative

594
00:28:57,400 --> 00:28:58,400
and the

595
00:28:58,400 --> 00:29:00,400
work we're doing on anti-displacement. I'm

596
00:29:00,400 --> 00:29:01,400
with a firm

597
00:29:01,400 --> 00:29:03,400
called community planning collaborative. We

598
00:29:03,400 --> 00:29:04,400
support the santa clara

599
00:29:04,400 --> 00:29:06,400
county planning collaborative. And

600
00:29:06,400 --> 00:29:07,400
this is a joint effort

601
00:29:07,400 --> 00:29:09,400
across all 16 jurisdictions in santa

602
00:29:09,400 --> 00:29:11,800
clara county. So that's 15

603
00:29:12,400 --> 00:29:14,400
cities and towns

604
00:29:14,400 --> 00:29:15,400
plus the county. It started in 2019,

605
00:29:15,400 --> 00:29:16,400
initiated by

606
00:29:16,400 --> 00:29:17,400
staff across multiple jurisdictions

607
00:29:17,400 --> 00:29:18,400
who wanted a way to work together

608
00:29:18,400 --> 00:29:20,400
as

609
00:29:21,400 --> 00:29:22,400
the housing element process

610
00:29:22,400 --> 00:29:24,400
was getting underway. Super fortunate the

611
00:29:24,400 --> 00:29:26,400
last four

612
00:29:26,400 --> 00:29:27,400
years, five years to have funding

613
00:29:27,400 --> 00:29:29,400
through

614
00:29:30,400 --> 00:29:31,400
abag mtc to support the

615
00:29:31,400 --> 00:29:32,400
work. Starting next year, we're being

616
00:29:32,400 --> 00:29:33,400
supported through jurisdiction contributions

617
00:29:33,400 --> 00:29:35,400
again,

618
00:29:35,400 --> 00:29:36,400
as it was initially in 2019, and thankful

619
00:29:36,400 --> 00:29:37,400
for

620
00:29:37,400 --> 00:29:39,400
the continued commitment across all

621
00:29:39,400 --> 00:29:41,400
the cities

622
00:29:42,400 --> 00:29:43,400
and towns to

623
00:29:43,400 --> 00:29:44,400
this collaborative model. We're under

624
00:29:44,400 --> 00:29:45,400
the umbrella of the city's association

625
00:29:45,400 --> 00:29:46,400
of

626
00:29:46,400 --> 00:29:48,400
santa clara county. We have regular

627
00:29:48,400 --> 00:29:51,400
meetings. A lot of those we

628
00:29:51,400 --> 00:29:52,400
cover new state laws that are

629
00:29:52,400 --> 00:29:53,400
coming through and helping people understand them

630
00:29:53,400 --> 00:29:54,400
and what needs to be done to meet

631
00:29:54,400 --> 00:29:56,400
those

632
00:29:56,400 --> 00:29:57,400
laws and we do other trainings. But

633
00:29:57,400 --> 00:29:59,400
this

634
00:30:00,400 --> 00:30:01,400
year a big focus has been

635
00:30:01,400 --> 00:30:03,400
on anti-displacement. The previous

636
00:30:03,400 --> 00:30:05,400
year we

637
00:30:05,400 --> 00:30:06,400
focused a lot on adus and built some

638
00:30:06,400 --> 00:30:08,400
tools for folks,

639
00:30:08,400 --> 00:30:11,400
many of which are used by the city

640
00:30:11,400 --> 00:30:12,400
of santa clara. This year it's focused

641
00:30:12,400 --> 00:30:14,400
on anti-displacement,

642
00:30:14,400 --> 00:30:15,400
because it is a topic across multiple

643
00:30:15,400 --> 00:30:16,400
jurisdictions in

644
00:30:16,400 --> 00:30:18,400
the county. People are in different

645
00:30:18,400 --> 00:30:19,400
places in terms of where they're at

646
00:30:19,400 --> 00:30:21,400
working on it. Some have been doing

647
00:30:21,400 --> 00:30:23,400
this for a while, some are new

648
00:30:23,400 --> 00:30:24,400
to it. And as you've seen, it's quite

649
00:30:24,400 --> 00:30:26,400
a long

650
00:30:26,400 --> 00:30:30,000
list of specific policies or programs,

651
00:30:30,400 --> 00:30:31,400
practices in this sort

652
00:30:31,400 --> 00:30:33,400
of big umbrella of anti-displacement. So

653
00:30:33,400 --> 00:30:34,400
people are working on different

654
00:30:34,400 --> 00:30:36,400
things, but we're looking for ways

655
00:30:36,400 --> 00:30:39,400
to collaborate. If we go to the

656
00:30:39,400 --> 00:30:40,400
next slide, one of the areas we've

657
00:30:40,400 --> 00:30:42,400
been

658
00:30:42,400 --> 00:30:44,400
working on is

659
00:30:44,400 --> 00:30:48,000
creating a shared platform for community

660
00:30:48,400 --> 00:30:50,400
education and

661
00:30:52,400 --> 00:30:56,600
engagement. So you can go to santaclara.

662
00:30:59,400 --> 00:31:01,800
santaclara.letstalkhousing.org. What

663
00:31:03,400 --> 00:31:06,400
are the kinds of things that

664
00:31:06,400 --> 00:31:08,400
a community can do related

665
00:31:08,400 --> 00:31:09,400
to encountering the forces of displacement. I'm not going to

666
00:31:09,400 --> 00:31:11,400
go through

667
00:31:11,400 --> 00:31:12,400
detail on the site, but there's a number

668
00:31:12,400 --> 00:31:14,400
of resources

669
00:31:15,400 --> 00:31:16,400
there. And then there's a link to

670
00:31:16,400 --> 00:31:18,400
a

671
00:31:18,400 --> 00:31:20,400
community survey, which is up

672
00:31:20,400 --> 00:31:21,400
and active and will be through october. And a big

673
00:31:21,400 --> 00:31:22,400
shout-out to your

674
00:31:22,400 --> 00:31:24,400
staff team, because they've done a

675
00:31:24,400 --> 00:31:27,400
great job getting the word out about

676
00:31:27,400 --> 00:31:30,400
it, and we've had over

677
00:31:30,400 --> 00:31:32,400
400 responses from santa clara

678
00:31:32,400 --> 00:31:33,400
city residents. Out of just over 500

679
00:31:33,400 --> 00:31:35,400
countywide. So

680
00:31:35,400 --> 00:31:36,400
we're trying to get the other jurisdictions to

681
00:31:36,400 --> 00:31:38,400
follow the lead of your

682
00:31:38,400 --> 00:31:39,400
staff helping to get the word out

683
00:31:39,400 --> 00:31:40,400
about the

684
00:31:40,400 --> 00:31:42,400
survey. And we'll have results later this

685
00:31:42,400 --> 00:31:44,400
fall on what we heard

686
00:31:44,400 --> 00:31:45,400
from folks. We're also going to do

687
00:31:45,400 --> 00:31:47,400
some focus groups

688
00:31:48,400 --> 00:31:50,400
with different service providers to

689
00:31:50,400 --> 00:31:51,400
help understand what's going on, some

690
00:31:51,400 --> 00:31:54,400
of the current challenges facing

691
00:31:54,400 --> 00:31:55,400
people who are working already on countering

692
00:31:55,400 --> 00:31:56,400
displacement, people

693
00:31:56,400 --> 00:31:57,400
who are working with tenants and kind

694
00:31:57,400 --> 00:31:59,400
of the issues

695
00:31:59,400 --> 00:32:00,400
and resources that are needed to have effective

696
00:32:00,400 --> 00:32:02,800
programs. And if we

697
00:32:03,400 --> 00:32:06,400
go to the next slide, there's also

698
00:32:06,400 --> 00:32:08,800
a staff-facing set of

699
00:32:09,400 --> 00:32:11,400
resources on the staff websites

700
00:32:11,400 --> 00:32:12,400
to help them access data, help them

701
00:32:12,400 --> 00:32:14,400
understand

702
00:32:15,400 --> 00:32:17,800
the different tools and

703
00:32:19,400 --> 00:32:21,400
resources that already exist. There's

704
00:32:21,400 --> 00:32:23,400
what's

705
00:32:24,400 --> 00:32:26,800
called the housing precarety

706
00:32:27,400 --> 00:32:28,400
risk model, a very wonky term for data

707
00:32:28,400 --> 00:32:30,400
model

708
00:32:30,400 --> 00:32:32,400
that's been developed by the urban displacement

709
00:32:32,400 --> 00:32:33,400
project at berkeley that maps where

710
00:32:33,400 --> 00:32:35,800
displacement risk is highest

711
00:32:36,400 --> 00:32:37,400
and how it's playing out. So it just

712
00:32:37,400 --> 00:32:39,400
gives

713
00:32:39,400 --> 00:32:42,400
some way to be able to

714
00:32:42,400 --> 00:32:43,400
focus efforts looking at data indicators

715
00:32:43,400 --> 00:32:44,400
where data

716
00:32:44,400 --> 00:32:45,400
is --displacement is already happening

717
00:32:45,400 --> 00:32:47,400
or is

718
00:32:47,400 --> 00:32:48,400
likely to happen given underlying

719
00:32:48,400 --> 00:32:50,400
market and land

720
00:32:50,400 --> 00:32:51,400
conditions. And then there's a policy

721
00:32:51,400 --> 00:32:53,400
toolkit. And I

722
00:32:54,400 --> 00:32:57,400
know some of the existing policy

723
00:32:57,400 --> 00:32:59,800
guidance that was created

724
00:33:00,400 --> 00:33:02,400
through abag/mtc

725
00:33:03,400 --> 00:33:05,400
--we're going to be developing additional

726
00:33:05,400 --> 00:33:06,400
ones to support work across the jurisdictions

727
00:33:06,400 --> 00:33:08,400
and in

728
00:33:09,400 --> 00:33:10,400
the county, a pretty exhaustive resource

729
00:33:10,400 --> 00:33:12,400
library. If

730
00:33:12,400 --> 00:33:13,400
you want to know what is an example

731
00:33:13,400 --> 00:33:14,400
of a

732
00:33:14,400 --> 00:33:15,400
no-net loss, ordinance that was passed

733
00:33:15,400 --> 00:33:16,400
in other jurisdictions across the bay

734
00:33:16,400 --> 00:33:18,400
area, you'll

735
00:33:18,400 --> 00:33:21,400
be able to go there and search

736
00:33:21,400 --> 00:33:23,400
for that. And

737
00:33:23,400 --> 00:33:24,400
I'll just underscore also we work

738
00:33:24,400 --> 00:33:26,400
with

739
00:33:26,400 --> 00:33:27,400
santa clara county collaborative. There's

740
00:33:27,400 --> 00:33:29,400
a

741
00:33:29,400 --> 00:33:30,400
similar group in san mateo county. We're

742
00:33:30,400 --> 00:33:32,400
doing this in

743
00:33:32,400 --> 00:33:33,400
collaboration with them so we can

744
00:33:33,400 --> 00:33:35,400
pool resources and

745
00:33:35,400 --> 00:33:36,400
get more done working together than

746
00:33:36,400 --> 00:33:38,400
working on our own. And that's

747
00:33:38,400 --> 00:33:39,400
my quick overview, and I'm happy to answer any

748
00:33:39,400 --> 00:33:41,400
questions

749
00:33:42,400 --> 00:33:45,400
when you get to the q&a part. I'm

750
00:33:45,400 --> 00:33:47,800
going to pass it

751
00:33:48,400 --> 00:33:50,400
back to

752
00:33:50,400 --> 00:33:51,400
adam or afshan, I'm not sure.

753
00:33:51,400 --> 00:33:52,400
>> thank

754
00:33:52,400 --> 00:33:54,400
you, david. The next slide, we

755
00:33:54,400 --> 00:33:55,400
have our next steps, as we said, as

756
00:33:55,400 --> 00:33:57,400
david explained,

757
00:33:57,400 --> 00:33:58,400
we are currently doing a

758
00:33:58,400 --> 00:34:00,400
community stakeholder outreach. And

759
00:34:00,400 --> 00:34:01,400
it began in august and it will go

760
00:34:01,400 --> 00:34:03,400
through

761
00:34:03,400 --> 00:34:06,400
january. So up here this

762
00:34:06,400 --> 00:34:08,800
was our recent art

763
00:34:09,400 --> 00:34:10,400
and wine festival. And our staff had

764
00:34:10,400 --> 00:34:11,400
fliers

765
00:34:11,400 --> 00:34:13,400
on at the art and wine festival, and

766
00:34:13,400 --> 00:34:14,400
I would say

767
00:34:14,400 --> 00:34:15,400
it was pretty successful. We got a

768
00:34:15,400 --> 00:34:18,400
lot of people the take that. This

769
00:34:18,400 --> 00:34:19,400
is what our flier looks like. It's

770
00:34:19,400 --> 00:34:21,400
english on

771
00:34:21,400 --> 00:34:24,400
one side. It's spanish on the other

772
00:34:24,400 --> 00:34:25,400
side. It has a qr code so you can

773
00:34:25,400 --> 00:34:27,400
go

774
00:34:28,400 --> 00:34:30,400
directly to that qr code

775
00:34:30,400 --> 00:34:34,400
and take the survey. And we are continuing

776
00:34:34,400 --> 00:34:36,400
to

777
00:34:36,400 --> 00:34:37,400
look at the analysis through november

778
00:34:37,400 --> 00:34:38,400
through april

779
00:34:38,400 --> 00:34:40,400
2026. We want to come back to, once

780
00:34:40,400 --> 00:34:42,800
we have all that

781
00:34:43,400 --> 00:34:44,400
data and the

782
00:34:44,400 --> 00:34:46,400
analysis and the outreach, in spring

783
00:34:46,400 --> 00:34:47,400
2026 because that will

784
00:34:47,400 --> 00:34:49,400
also help inform our work plan. And

785
00:34:49,400 --> 00:34:51,800
then we will go

786
00:34:52,400 --> 00:34:54,400
to a

787
00:34:55,400 --> 00:34:57,400
public hearing in

788
00:34:57,400 --> 00:35:00,400
may 2026. So staff is here to take

789
00:35:00,400 --> 00:35:01,400
questions or feed back or direction.

790
00:35:01,400 --> 00:35:03,400
>>

791
00:35:04,400 --> 00:35:06,400
all right. Let

792
00:35:07,400 --> 00:35:09,400
us start with the

793
00:35:09,400 --> 00:35:10,400
questions. Councilmember hardy.

794
00:35:10,400 --> 00:35:12,400
>>

795
00:35:13,400 --> 00:35:16,400
thank you. I noticed you said

796
00:35:16,400 --> 00:35:19,400
something about a pamphlet that we would

797
00:35:19,400 --> 00:35:22,400
present and that an owner would need

798
00:35:22,400 --> 00:35:24,400
to give a renter. I will say that

799
00:35:24,400 --> 00:35:25,400
is very important, especially in english

800
00:35:25,400 --> 00:35:27,400
and spanish. That is

801
00:35:27,400 --> 00:35:31,400
the question I get the most from renters

802
00:35:31,400 --> 00:35:34,400
is they do not know

803
00:35:34,400 --> 00:35:36,400
their rights. There's

804
00:35:37,400 --> 00:35:39,400
been such things

805
00:35:40,400 --> 00:35:42,400
as

806
00:35:43,400 --> 00:35:46,400
asking for rent in cash, and --

807
00:35:46,400 --> 00:35:48,800
or your rent will

808
00:35:49,400 --> 00:35:52,400
go up. There's been things such as we're

809
00:35:52,400 --> 00:35:55,400
going to sell this, so you have to

810
00:35:55,400 --> 00:35:57,800
move out. And I

811
00:35:58,400 --> 00:36:01,400
saw a bill for $28,000 given

812
00:36:01,400 --> 00:36:04,400
to a renter saying that they

813
00:36:04,400 --> 00:36:07,400
needed to pay for all

814
00:36:07,400 --> 00:36:09,400
the repairs

815
00:36:10,400 --> 00:36:11,400
which was

816
00:36:11,400 --> 00:36:13,400
not right. My concern was -- I hesitate

817
00:36:13,400 --> 00:36:15,800
to mention the name,

818
00:36:16,400 --> 00:36:18,400
but we

819
00:36:18,400 --> 00:36:19,400
have a facility that we service that

820
00:36:19,400 --> 00:36:22,400
we use and I sent

821
00:36:22,400 --> 00:36:24,800
them first to that

822
00:36:25,400 --> 00:36:26,400
service. I can tell you offline. But

823
00:36:26,400 --> 00:36:27,400
they

824
00:36:27,400 --> 00:36:28,400
got no help whatsoever and were not told

825
00:36:28,400 --> 00:36:30,400
that these things

826
00:36:31,400 --> 00:36:32,400
that they were being told were illegal. So

827
00:36:32,400 --> 00:36:34,400
to

828
00:36:34,400 --> 00:36:36,400
me it's very important

829
00:36:36,400 --> 00:36:37,400
that our renters understand their

830
00:36:37,400 --> 00:36:39,400
rights. Also

831
00:36:40,400 --> 00:36:43,400
I've been asked over and

832
00:36:43,400 --> 00:36:44,400
over again how to apply for housing

833
00:36:44,400 --> 00:36:46,400
assistance. And

834
00:36:46,400 --> 00:36:48,400
that has been very

835
00:36:48,400 --> 00:36:49,400
difficult to find. So I would like

836
00:36:49,400 --> 00:36:51,400
to know

837
00:36:51,400 --> 00:36:52,400
how we would do that. And when we

838
00:36:52,400 --> 00:36:54,400
talk about

839
00:36:55,400 --> 00:36:58,400
a deposit limit, what I hear put on

840
00:36:58,400 --> 00:37:00,400
top

841
00:37:01,400 --> 00:37:03,400
of this

842
00:37:04,400 --> 00:37:05,400
is a cleaning of --the first and last month's

843
00:37:05,400 --> 00:37:06,400
rent,

844
00:37:06,400 --> 00:37:07,400
and then they'll put a cleaning deposit

845
00:37:07,400 --> 00:37:10,400
on there. And I want to

846
00:37:10,400 --> 00:37:13,400
know if there's anything that is

847
00:37:13,400 --> 00:37:14,400
illegal about that now. And this one-year

848
00:37:14,400 --> 00:37:16,400
advance for

849
00:37:16,400 --> 00:37:19,400
conversion, I wasn't clear what

850
00:37:19,400 --> 00:37:21,400
the conversion you

851
00:37:22,400 --> 00:37:24,400
meant. Conversion to for sale? Or

852
00:37:24,400 --> 00:37:25,400
conversion to something else? I'm

853
00:37:25,400 --> 00:37:27,400
happy I wrote

854
00:37:28,400 --> 00:37:31,400
down the website and will

855
00:37:31,400 --> 00:37:33,400
be passing this on, but

856
00:37:33,400 --> 00:37:34,400
I'm concerned that there's residents

857
00:37:34,400 --> 00:37:36,400
here now

858
00:37:37,400 --> 00:37:38,400
who do not understand what their options are and

859
00:37:38,400 --> 00:37:40,400
what

860
00:37:40,400 --> 00:37:42,400
are we

861
00:37:42,400 --> 00:37:43,400
going to do to help them. Because we

862
00:37:43,400 --> 00:37:45,800
don't want them to

863
00:37:46,400 --> 00:37:49,400
go up in the pyramid that you

864
00:37:49,400 --> 00:37:50,400
showed. And that has been my concern. I've

865
00:37:50,400 --> 00:37:51,400
handled some

866
00:37:51,400 --> 00:37:54,400
of these privately and have even gotten

867
00:37:54,400 --> 00:37:55,400
ahold of an attorney for them. But

868
00:37:55,400 --> 00:37:57,400
I feel like

869
00:37:58,400 --> 00:38:01,400
we should do a better

870
00:38:03,400 --> 00:38:04,400
job. Thank you.

871
00:38:04,400 --> 00:38:06,800
>> thank you. Councilmember jain

872
00:38:07,400 --> 00:38:08,400
.

873
00:38:08,400 --> 00:38:09,400
>> thank

874
00:38:09,400 --> 00:38:10,400
you for the presentation. On page 20

875
00:38:10,400 --> 00:38:12,400
you're going to

876
00:38:13,400 --> 00:38:15,400
create a database

877
00:38:15,400 --> 00:38:16,400
of naturally occurring affordable

878
00:38:16,400 --> 00:38:18,400
housing. Can

879
00:38:18,400 --> 00:38:19,400
you explain what that means, because I've

880
00:38:19,400 --> 00:38:21,800
been asking for a

881
00:38:22,400 --> 00:38:25,400
long time for a central

882
00:38:25,400 --> 00:38:28,400
database of --you know, we

883
00:38:28,400 --> 00:38:30,400
have a list of complexes

884
00:38:30,400 --> 00:38:31,400
with affordable housing units, but

885
00:38:31,400 --> 00:38:33,400
we don't have

886
00:38:34,400 --> 00:38:36,400
any central

887
00:38:36,400 --> 00:38:37,400
database of where it's available. Like

888
00:38:37,400 --> 00:38:39,400
so what happens

889
00:38:39,400 --> 00:38:40,400
is somebody looking for affordable

890
00:38:40,400 --> 00:38:42,400
housing has to

891
00:38:42,400 --> 00:38:43,400
call every housing complex to try to find

892
00:38:43,400 --> 00:38:45,400
affordable housing,

893
00:38:46,400 --> 00:38:48,400
and they have to do that regularly

894
00:38:48,400 --> 00:38:50,400
to find the housing. And I just didn't

895
00:38:50,400 --> 00:38:52,400
understand what you're

896
00:38:53,400 --> 00:38:55,800
going to do with

897
00:38:56,400 --> 00:38:58,400
the database of

898
00:38:59,400 --> 00:39:01,400
naturally occurring affordable

899
00:39:02,400 --> 00:39:05,400
housing. My next question was

900
00:39:05,400 --> 00:39:06,400
what is proactive

901
00:39:06,400 --> 00:39:08,400
enhanced code enforcement? Currently

902
00:39:08,400 --> 00:39:09,400
our code

903
00:39:09,400 --> 00:39:11,400
enforcement works by complaints and

904
00:39:11,400 --> 00:39:12,400
often tenants don't want to

905
00:39:12,400 --> 00:39:14,400
complain because they might get kicked

906
00:39:14,400 --> 00:39:16,800
out of their --they

907
00:39:17,400 --> 00:39:19,800
think they might get

908
00:39:20,400 --> 00:39:21,400
kicked out of their

909
00:39:21,400 --> 00:39:23,400
apartment unit. And then I agree with

910
00:39:23,400 --> 00:39:25,400
the report

911
00:39:25,400 --> 00:39:26,400
that one month of relocation, which

912
00:39:26,400 --> 00:39:28,400
is the

913
00:39:29,400 --> 00:39:31,800
state requirement, is not

914
00:39:32,400 --> 00:39:33,400
sufficient. It says

915
00:39:33,400 --> 00:39:35,400
there that you just cannot relocate

916
00:39:35,400 --> 00:39:37,800
for one month of

917
00:39:38,400 --> 00:39:40,400
assistance. So we

918
00:39:41,400 --> 00:39:43,400
should do better

919
00:39:43,400 --> 00:39:44,400
than that. The --on page 22, I know

920
00:39:44,400 --> 00:39:46,400
state

921
00:39:46,400 --> 00:39:47,400
law says if you do displacement, then

922
00:39:47,400 --> 00:39:49,400
you have to

923
00:39:50,400 --> 00:39:52,400
replace units at

924
00:39:53,400 --> 00:39:54,400
the same or

925
00:39:54,400 --> 00:39:56,400
lower income level. That seems --

926
00:39:56,400 --> 00:39:58,400
I don't quite

927
00:40:00,400 --> 00:40:04,000
understand how that really works, because

928
00:40:05,400 --> 00:40:07,400
if you're upgrading an

929
00:40:07,400 --> 00:40:08,400
apartment building, the cost of construction

930
00:40:08,400 --> 00:40:09,400
is more

931
00:40:09,400 --> 00:40:11,400
than the older units. So where are

932
00:40:11,400 --> 00:40:13,400
you going to

933
00:40:14,400 --> 00:40:16,400
move those

934
00:40:17,400 --> 00:40:18,400
people at that same rent

935
00:40:18,400 --> 00:40:22,000
level? And then finally, it seems

936
00:40:23,400 --> 00:40:25,800
to me that there

937
00:40:26,400 --> 00:40:28,400
is a need for

938
00:40:28,400 --> 00:40:29,400
micro units, which are inherently affordable,

939
00:40:29,400 --> 00:40:31,400
that would

940
00:40:32,400 --> 00:40:35,400
allow us to prevent some of

941
00:40:35,400 --> 00:40:37,400
this displacement. Thank

942
00:40:37,400 --> 00:40:38,400
you.

943
00:40:38,400 --> 00:40:40,800
>> thank you, councilmember chahal. >>

944
00:40:41,400 --> 00:40:44,400
thank you, mayor. Thanks for

945
00:40:44,400 --> 00:40:46,400
the presentation. Quick

946
00:40:47,400 --> 00:40:49,400
question

947
00:40:49,400 --> 00:40:50,400
on slide number 22. Requiring landlords

948
00:40:50,400 --> 00:40:52,800
to notify tenants and

949
00:40:53,400 --> 00:40:54,400
city at least one year in advance

950
00:40:54,400 --> 00:40:56,400
of redevelopment or conversion. But

951
00:40:56,400 --> 00:40:57,400
on slide 17

952
00:40:57,400 --> 00:40:59,400
as per the 2020 housing crisis act

953
00:40:59,400 --> 00:41:01,400
it said requires

954
00:41:02,400 --> 00:41:05,400
up to three years notice

955
00:41:05,400 --> 00:41:06,400
of units at risk of using

956
00:41:06,400 --> 00:41:08,400
--and demolish. I want a clarification

957
00:41:08,400 --> 00:41:10,400
whether it is

958
00:41:11,400 --> 00:41:14,400
a three-year period or one-year period

959
00:41:14,400 --> 00:41:16,400
basically. The other one is you

960
00:41:16,400 --> 00:41:17,400
mentioned that the brochures will

961
00:41:17,400 --> 00:41:19,400
be in

962
00:41:20,400 --> 00:41:22,400
spanish as well as english. You

963
00:41:22,400 --> 00:41:23,400
know, language translation is so easy

964
00:41:23,400 --> 00:41:25,400
right now with

965
00:41:25,400 --> 00:41:29,400
all the a.I., all the apps available,

966
00:41:29,400 --> 00:41:31,800
why can't we put

967
00:41:32,400 --> 00:41:34,400
qr code on

968
00:41:35,400 --> 00:41:37,400
these brochures

969
00:41:38,400 --> 00:41:39,400
for, say, punjabi or other

970
00:41:39,400 --> 00:41:41,400
languages like filipino, tagalog,

971
00:41:41,400 --> 00:41:44,400
those languages. And we can put

972
00:41:44,400 --> 00:41:45,400
on our website, this is the brochure. If

973
00:41:45,400 --> 00:41:46,400
we cannot put

974
00:41:46,400 --> 00:41:50,400
all of those on the paper, at least

975
00:41:50,400 --> 00:41:51,400
we can put a qr code and our

976
00:41:51,400 --> 00:41:55,000
website should show those. That could

977
00:41:56,400 --> 00:41:58,400
be an easy

978
00:41:59,400 --> 00:42:01,400
solution for that. And other thing

979
00:42:01,400 --> 00:42:02,400
is central database for affordable

980
00:42:02,400 --> 00:42:04,400
units. I know each

981
00:42:04,400 --> 00:42:05,400
affordable unit comes up, oh, you apply

982
00:42:05,400 --> 00:42:07,400
for this, then

983
00:42:07,400 --> 00:42:08,400
six months later you apply for this. I

984
00:42:08,400 --> 00:42:10,400
think

985
00:42:11,400 --> 00:42:13,400
we should have a mechanism where

986
00:42:13,400 --> 00:42:14,400
anybody who applies should be enrolled in

987
00:42:14,400 --> 00:42:16,400
an automatic --

988
00:42:17,400 --> 00:42:19,400
I'm not sure we have that. If we don't,

989
00:42:19,400 --> 00:42:20,400
we should have anybody who applies

990
00:42:20,400 --> 00:42:22,400
for

991
00:42:22,400 --> 00:42:23,400
a particular affordable unit, unless

992
00:42:23,400 --> 00:42:25,400
they don't

993
00:42:26,400 --> 00:42:28,800
get affordable unit at

994
00:42:29,400 --> 00:42:31,400
that particular document, they should

995
00:42:31,400 --> 00:42:32,400
automatically be transferred to the next. Or they

996
00:42:32,400 --> 00:42:34,400
should be informed,

997
00:42:34,400 --> 00:42:37,400
this is the next one coming, you want

998
00:42:37,400 --> 00:42:38,400
to apply for that. And other thing

999
00:42:38,400 --> 00:42:40,400
is, I'm

1000
00:42:41,400 --> 00:42:43,400
not sure

1001
00:42:45,400 --> 00:42:49,000
whether the forms for applying are

1002
00:42:49,400 --> 00:42:50,400
standard. Everybody who's trying to

1003
00:42:50,400 --> 00:42:52,400
apply it

1004
00:42:53,400 --> 00:42:55,400
is much more easier for them to

1005
00:42:55,400 --> 00:42:56,400
apply here. They don't need to --

1006
00:42:56,400 --> 00:42:58,400
find out different

1007
00:42:58,400 --> 00:42:59,400
information, make easy for them to

1008
00:42:59,400 --> 00:43:01,800
apply for that. So

1009
00:43:02,400 --> 00:43:04,800
what can we do

1010
00:43:05,400 --> 00:43:07,400
for that

1011
00:43:09,400 --> 00:43:10,400
basically. Thank you.

1012
00:43:10,400 --> 00:43:13,400
>> thank you. Vice mayor cox. >>

1013
00:43:13,400 --> 00:43:17,400
thanks. I know you mentioned a little

1014
00:43:17,400 --> 00:43:20,400
bit of a change of

1015
00:43:20,400 --> 00:43:22,400
incentives for section eight potentially. The incentives

1016
00:43:22,400 --> 00:43:23,400
weren't listed, and that is one that

1017
00:43:23,400 --> 00:43:25,400
is not

1018
00:43:25,400 --> 00:43:26,400
yet started but underway. So I wanted to

1019
00:43:26,400 --> 00:43:28,400
know a little

1020
00:43:28,400 --> 00:43:29,400
bit more about what incentives were

1021
00:43:29,400 --> 00:43:31,400
being considered and

1022
00:43:32,400 --> 00:43:33,400
how that would be communicated to landlords

1023
00:43:33,400 --> 00:43:34,400
to

1024
00:43:34,400 --> 00:43:35,400
incentivize participation in section

1025
00:43:35,400 --> 00:43:38,400
eight. The other thing I think was mentioned but

1026
00:43:38,400 --> 00:43:39,400
I didn't see in the document itself

1027
00:43:39,400 --> 00:43:41,400
was

1028
00:43:41,400 --> 00:43:44,400
changing, perhaps, santa clara's definition

1029
00:43:44,400 --> 00:43:47,400
of moderate income. I want to know

1030
00:43:47,400 --> 00:43:48,400
because, you know, federal support

1031
00:43:48,400 --> 00:43:50,400
relies

1032
00:43:50,400 --> 00:43:53,400
on hud definitions of below

1033
00:43:53,400 --> 00:43:54,400
and moderate income. How those two

1034
00:43:54,400 --> 00:43:55,400
would

1035
00:43:55,400 --> 00:43:56,400
align. And I think more so what projected

1036
00:43:56,400 --> 00:43:58,400
impact

1037
00:43:59,400 --> 00:44:00,400
does that have on very low-income

1038
00:44:00,400 --> 00:44:02,400
families? You

1039
00:44:02,400 --> 00:44:03,400
know, I think essentially if moderate

1040
00:44:03,400 --> 00:44:05,400
income changes

1041
00:44:05,400 --> 00:44:08,400
but both don't, you run the

1042
00:44:08,400 --> 00:44:09,400
risk of potentially people who make

1043
00:44:09,400 --> 00:44:11,400
150k then qualifying

1044
00:44:11,400 --> 00:44:13,400
for housing that would have once been

1045
00:44:13,400 --> 00:44:14,400
affordable to low-income housing families. And finally,

1046
00:44:14,400 --> 00:44:16,400
the thing I think

1047
00:44:16,400 --> 00:44:17,400
I want a little bit more explanation

1048
00:44:17,400 --> 00:44:19,400
on, I

1049
00:44:20,400 --> 00:44:21,400
believe at least nine of these incentives are

1050
00:44:21,400 --> 00:44:23,400
hinged

1051
00:44:23,400 --> 00:44:25,400
on the

1052
00:44:26,400 --> 00:44:27,400
hiring of this new analyst 2 staff

1053
00:44:27,400 --> 00:44:29,400
position. So I don't know what the

1054
00:44:29,400 --> 00:44:30,400
timeframe is for that. I believe that

1055
00:44:30,400 --> 00:44:31,400
that's a

1056
00:44:31,400 --> 00:44:32,400
structural imbalance there where we're

1057
00:44:32,400 --> 00:44:34,400
putting a lot of hope in a position that

1058
00:44:34,400 --> 00:44:36,400
doesn't exist yet to see these things

1059
00:44:36,400 --> 00:44:37,400
come to fruition. So I

1060
00:44:37,400 --> 00:44:39,400
want to know about that timeline,

1061
00:44:39,400 --> 00:44:41,400
how that's budgeted,

1062
00:44:42,400 --> 00:44:44,400
and

1063
00:44:45,400 --> 00:44:46,400
when we see

1064
00:44:46,400 --> 00:44:47,400
that happening.

1065
00:44:47,400 --> 00:44:48,400
>> councilmember gonzalez.

1066
00:44:48,400 --> 00:44:49,400
>> thank you, madame mayor, and thank

1067
00:44:49,400 --> 00:44:50,400
you,

1068
00:44:50,400 --> 00:44:51,400
staff, for the report. Just a few

1069
00:44:51,400 --> 00:44:53,400
questions. As

1070
00:44:53,400 --> 00:44:57,400
far as the biggest issue, what is

1071
00:44:57,400 --> 00:44:59,400
the biggest issue that staff

1072
00:44:59,400 --> 00:45:03,400
feels that can be limiting for --

1073
00:45:03,400 --> 00:45:05,400
can

1074
00:45:05,400 --> 00:45:09,000
be resulting in the displacement? Also,

1075
00:45:09,400 --> 00:45:11,400
do we have --or have we worked with

1076
00:45:11,400 --> 00:45:12,400
the school districts in our jurisdiction

1077
00:45:12,400 --> 00:45:14,400
to

1078
00:45:15,400 --> 00:45:18,400
see what they're doing with --

1079
00:45:18,400 --> 00:45:20,800
or the numbers are

1080
00:45:21,400 --> 00:45:23,400
seeing with --and possibly

1081
00:45:23,400 --> 00:45:24,400
helping to find resources for those

1082
00:45:24,400 --> 00:45:26,400
students

1083
00:45:26,400 --> 00:45:27,400
and subsequent families. And are we

1084
00:45:27,400 --> 00:45:29,400
looking at

1085
00:45:29,400 --> 00:45:30,400
the programs that other jurisdictions

1086
00:45:30,400 --> 00:45:32,400
have implemented to

1087
00:45:32,400 --> 00:45:33,400
see what's worked and what hasn't. And

1088
00:45:33,400 --> 00:45:35,400
I

1089
00:45:36,400 --> 00:45:38,400
just make a comment right now to say

1090
00:45:38,400 --> 00:45:39,400
I think all the stakeholders, be it

1091
00:45:39,400 --> 00:45:41,400
landlords, developers, and

1092
00:45:41,400 --> 00:45:43,400
the city, are part of the solution,

1093
00:45:43,400 --> 00:45:45,400
right? So how do we work and collaborate

1094
00:45:45,400 --> 00:45:46,400
with them to make sure

1095
00:45:46,400 --> 00:45:48,400
that everybody does the right thing,

1096
00:45:48,400 --> 00:45:50,400
I would

1097
00:45:51,400 --> 00:45:53,800
say, to make sure

1098
00:45:54,400 --> 00:45:56,400
that we don't lose

1099
00:45:56,400 --> 00:45:57,400
any housing and increase that affordability.

1100
00:45:57,400 --> 00:45:58,400
>>

1101
00:45:58,400 --> 00:45:59,400
thank you. Councilmember park?

1102
00:45:59,400 --> 00:46:00,400
>> yes,

1103
00:46:00,400 --> 00:46:02,400
thank you very much

1104
00:46:02,400 --> 00:46:04,400
for the presentation. I did have some

1105
00:46:04,400 --> 00:46:06,400
questions about the foster youth members. I

1106
00:46:06,400 --> 00:46:08,400
mean, I

1107
00:46:09,400 --> 00:46:11,400
think the report says 2.3%,

1108
00:46:11,400 --> 00:46:12,400
which if I do the calculation, is

1109
00:46:12,400 --> 00:46:13,400
around 19 out of

1110
00:46:13,400 --> 00:46:15,400
the almost 800 people that we had

1111
00:46:15,400 --> 00:46:17,400
in the point in

1112
00:46:17,400 --> 00:46:18,400
time count. I looked up a couple things

1113
00:46:18,400 --> 00:46:20,400
online

1114
00:46:21,400 --> 00:46:22,400
as well, but my guess is that that

1115
00:46:22,400 --> 00:46:23,400
number

1116
00:46:23,400 --> 00:46:24,400
would be a little bit higher. Want

1117
00:46:24,400 --> 00:46:26,400
to look at the numbers

1118
00:46:26,400 --> 00:46:28,400
in the foster care system. Again,

1119
00:46:28,400 --> 00:46:29,400
thises the point-in-time count. That's

1120
00:46:29,400 --> 00:46:30,400
the numbers that we got, but again,

1121
00:46:30,400 --> 00:46:32,400
I don't know

1122
00:46:32,400 --> 00:46:33,400
how we look into that, because I'm

1123
00:46:33,400 --> 00:46:34,400
talking to a number of individuals

1124
00:46:34,400 --> 00:46:35,400
who

1125
00:46:35,400 --> 00:46:36,400
are a part of the system or were part of the

1126
00:46:36,400 --> 00:46:38,400
system, and as a

1127
00:46:38,400 --> 00:46:39,400
result for the last two years, I've been

1128
00:46:39,400 --> 00:46:40,400
looking into this

1129
00:46:40,400 --> 00:46:42,400
a little bit more closely. And I would

1130
00:46:42,400 --> 00:46:44,400
think that the numbers could

1131
00:46:44,400 --> 00:46:45,400
be higher there, I just want to know

1132
00:46:45,400 --> 00:46:47,400
how we vet those numbers

1133
00:46:47,400 --> 00:46:48,400
against what we see from the county. Also

1134
00:46:48,400 --> 00:46:49,400
looking

1135
00:46:49,400 --> 00:46:51,400
at the county numbers for the point

1136
00:46:51,400 --> 00:46:52,400
in time, I

1137
00:46:52,400 --> 00:46:54,400
couldn't find the santa clara. It

1138
00:46:54,400 --> 00:46:57,400
does suggest perhaps they will

1139
00:46:57,400 --> 00:46:59,400
be

1140
00:46:59,400 --> 00:47:00,400
a little bit higher as well, but again,

1141
00:47:00,400 --> 00:47:02,400
we're

1142
00:47:02,400 --> 00:47:03,400
looking at this point, this data point

1143
00:47:03,400 --> 00:47:05,400
that

1144
00:47:06,400 --> 00:47:07,400
says for every 14th job there is one

1145
00:47:07,400 --> 00:47:08,400
unit of

1146
00:47:08,400 --> 00:47:09,400
housing. Is that jobs where people

1147
00:47:09,400 --> 00:47:11,800
are working? Or is

1148
00:47:12,400 --> 00:47:13,400
that job positions that

1149
00:47:13,400 --> 00:47:15,400
are being advertised? I mean, what

1150
00:47:15,400 --> 00:47:17,400
does it

1151
00:47:18,400 --> 00:47:20,400
mean --what does a one job mean compared

1152
00:47:20,400 --> 00:47:21,400
to one unit of housing? And is that one

1153
00:47:21,400 --> 00:47:23,400
unit

1154
00:47:23,400 --> 00:47:24,400
of housing one unit of housing filled

1155
00:47:24,400 --> 00:47:26,400
and available or

1156
00:47:26,400 --> 00:47:27,400
is that --I don't know. Like I just

1157
00:47:27,400 --> 00:47:29,400
want a little bit

1158
00:47:29,400 --> 00:47:30,400
of clarification on the definitions

1159
00:47:30,400 --> 00:47:32,400
there. I look

1160
00:47:32,400 --> 00:47:33,400
at the people entering homelessness

1161
00:47:33,400 --> 00:47:35,400
versus exiting homelessness,

1162
00:47:36,400 --> 00:47:37,400
and I realize that people are entering homelessness

1163
00:47:37,400 --> 00:47:38,400
in the

1164
00:47:38,400 --> 00:47:39,400
hundreds, by the hundreds, and exiting

1165
00:47:39,400 --> 00:47:40,400
by the tens. I think

1166
00:47:40,400 --> 00:47:42,400
this is a very big problem. I'm looking at

1167
00:47:42,400 --> 00:47:44,400
the reasons

1168
00:47:44,400 --> 00:47:45,400
that people are doing this. I see

1169
00:47:45,400 --> 00:47:46,400
that

1170
00:47:46,400 --> 00:47:48,400
the family dissolution is one. Loss

1171
00:47:48,400 --> 00:47:49,400
of job is

1172
00:47:49,400 --> 00:47:51,400
one we expect, but family dissolution

1173
00:47:51,400 --> 00:47:53,800
is actually much higher

1174
00:47:54,400 --> 00:47:56,400
than even the loss of

1175
00:47:56,400 --> 00:47:58,400
jobs. I heard vice mayor cox's question

1176
00:47:58,400 --> 00:48:00,400
about moderate income and how that,

1177
00:48:00,400 --> 00:48:01,400
you know, what the definitions are, but

1178
00:48:01,400 --> 00:48:03,400
I

1179
00:48:03,400 --> 00:48:05,400
think regardless, people need to

1180
00:48:05,400 --> 00:48:06,400
understand that the ami, the area

1181
00:48:06,400 --> 00:48:08,800
median income, which we

1182
00:48:09,400 --> 00:48:10,400
use to define as the index for

1183
00:48:10,400 --> 00:48:12,400
affordability, is $180,000 in the county,

1184
00:48:12,400 --> 00:48:14,400
not just in the city

1185
00:48:14,400 --> 00:48:15,400
but in the county, right? It is arguably

1186
00:48:15,400 --> 00:48:18,400
higher -- I think it

1187
00:48:18,400 --> 00:48:20,400
is higher in the city. But when

1188
00:48:20,400 --> 00:48:21,400
you've got $180,000 as, you know,

1189
00:48:21,400 --> 00:48:23,400
that means

1190
00:48:24,400 --> 00:48:26,400
that people making

1191
00:48:27,400 --> 00:48:30,400
less than $220,000 a family or

1192
00:48:30,400 --> 00:48:32,400
up to $215,000 are

1193
00:48:33,400 --> 00:48:34,400
considered needy. That is like

1194
00:48:34,400 --> 00:48:36,400
a crazy number, right? And the other

1195
00:48:36,400 --> 00:48:38,400
thing that doesn't

1196
00:48:39,400 --> 00:48:40,400
--the full story is that that

1197
00:48:40,400 --> 00:48:42,400
kind of salary often requires that

1198
00:48:42,400 --> 00:48:44,400
two people are working. It's more

1199
00:48:44,400 --> 00:48:45,400
than just one person working. A lot

1200
00:48:45,400 --> 00:48:47,800
of people think that,

1201
00:48:48,400 --> 00:48:50,400
you know, everyone has really high

1202
00:48:50,400 --> 00:48:51,400
salaries. Well, the salaries are higher

1203
00:48:51,400 --> 00:48:53,400
than maybe

1204
00:48:54,400 --> 00:48:56,400
other places, but I mean, still $180,000

1205
00:48:56,400 --> 00:48:57,400
is a pretty good salary. But that

1206
00:48:57,400 --> 00:48:59,400
means that multiple

1207
00:48:59,400 --> 00:49:00,400
people are working and then other

1208
00:49:00,400 --> 00:49:03,400
things come into play such

1209
00:49:03,400 --> 00:49:06,400
as child care and schooling, right? We

1210
00:49:06,400 --> 00:49:07,400
know that child care has now entered

1211
00:49:07,400 --> 00:49:09,400
top

1212
00:49:09,400 --> 00:49:12,400
three concerns that families have. But

1213
00:49:12,400 --> 00:49:14,400
I almost guarantee

1214
00:49:15,400 --> 00:49:18,400
if we made being able to support your

1215
00:49:18,400 --> 00:49:20,400
household

1216
00:49:21,400 --> 00:49:22,400
capable by one person, if it were possible

1217
00:49:22,400 --> 00:49:24,400
for one

1218
00:49:24,400 --> 00:49:25,400
person to do that, I think child care

1219
00:49:25,400 --> 00:49:27,400
would

1220
00:49:27,400 --> 00:49:28,400
drastically go down. I think all the factors

1221
00:49:28,400 --> 00:49:29,400
together are

1222
00:49:29,400 --> 00:49:30,400
contributing to this problem. When

1223
00:49:30,400 --> 00:49:31,400
you've got family issues you've got

1224
00:49:31,400 --> 00:49:33,400
potentially not

1225
00:49:33,400 --> 00:49:36,400
just one but two people in

1226
00:49:36,400 --> 00:49:38,400
a family being displaced. So question, comments, thank

1227
00:49:38,400 --> 00:49:39,400
you very much.

1228
00:49:39,400 --> 00:49:40,400
>> all right. I know

1229
00:49:40,400 --> 00:49:42,400
there's a lot of questions here,

1230
00:49:42,400 --> 00:49:45,400
I'm going to go to the public, because

1231
00:49:45,400 --> 00:49:47,400
I'm thinking that --

1232
00:49:47,400 --> 00:49:48,400
then I'll ask you city manager will

1233
00:49:48,400 --> 00:49:51,400
not be able to answer

1234
00:49:51,400 --> 00:49:52,400
these questions and start our meeting

1235
00:49:52,400 --> 00:49:54,400
at

1236
00:49:54,400 --> 00:49:57,400
7:00. So would there be another

1237
00:49:57,400 --> 00:49:58,400
opportunity to get these questions

1238
00:49:58,400 --> 00:50:00,400
answered maybe another -- either back

1239
00:50:00,400 --> 00:50:02,800
in writing available to

1240
00:50:04,400 --> 00:50:05,400
the public or

1241
00:50:05,400 --> 00:50:06,400
another follow-up session to this?

1242
00:50:06,400 --> 00:50:07,400
>>

1243
00:50:07,400 --> 00:50:08,400
yes, mayor.

1244
00:50:08,400 --> 00:50:09,400
>> I will go

1245
00:50:09,400 --> 00:50:10,400
to the public, though.

1246
00:50:10,400 --> 00:50:11,400
>> yes, mayor,

1247
00:50:11,400 --> 00:50:12,400
we

1248
00:50:12,400 --> 00:50:13,400
can discuss internally whether we

1249
00:50:13,400 --> 00:50:15,400
send council a memorandum responding

1250
00:50:15,400 --> 00:50:16,400
to your questions or schedule another

1251
00:50:16,400 --> 00:50:19,400
meeting. There may be a

1252
00:50:19,400 --> 00:50:21,400
few questions if we have time after public

1253
00:50:21,400 --> 00:50:23,400
comment, that staff can respond to

1254
00:50:23,400 --> 00:50:24,400
briefly.

1255
00:50:24,400 --> 00:50:25,400
>> it's only 6:51, so we've

1256
00:50:25,400 --> 00:50:26,400
got plenty of time. I'm going to ask

1257
00:50:26,400 --> 00:50:27,400
if there's any member of the public

1258
00:50:27,400 --> 00:50:30,400
that would like to speak, have a question,

1259
00:50:30,400 --> 00:50:34,400
or make a comment about this issue.

1260
00:50:34,400 --> 00:50:35,400
anyone here in

1261
00:50:35,400 --> 00:50:37,400
the audience, please come forward. If

1262
00:50:37,400 --> 00:50:38,400
you do, and do we have

1263
00:50:38,400 --> 00:50:40,400
anyone online? I don't see anyone

1264
00:50:40,400 --> 00:50:42,400
online. Okay, so we

1265
00:50:42,400 --> 00:50:43,400
went to the public, there's no other questions. If

1266
00:50:43,400 --> 00:50:44,400
you

1267
00:50:44,400 --> 00:50:46,400
want to --you want to try to answer

1268
00:50:46,400 --> 00:50:49,400
a few of those while we have

1269
00:50:49,400 --> 00:50:51,400
a little bit

1270
00:50:52,400 --> 00:50:53,400
of time,

1271
00:50:53,400 --> 00:50:55,400
that would be great. Or if you want

1272
00:50:55,400 --> 00:50:57,400
to come back for

1273
00:50:57,400 --> 00:50:58,400
all of them, that's great too.

1274
00:50:58,400 --> 00:50:59,400
>>

1275
00:50:59,400 --> 00:51:00,400
we'll come

1276
00:51:00,400 --> 00:51:01,400
back.

1277
00:51:01,400 --> 00:51:03,400
>> okay. >> either in writing or

1278
00:51:03,400 --> 00:51:04,400
in person.

1279
00:51:04,400 --> 00:51:06,400
>> okay. Thank you very

1280
00:51:06,400 --> 00:51:10,600
much. Thank you for the presentation. We

1281
00:51:11,400 --> 00:51:15,600
will resume at 7:00 p.m. Thank you.

1282
01:02:24,400 --> 01:02:26,400
>> are

01:02:27,400 --> 01:02:32,200
we ready? All right. Where's the city manager?

1284
01:02:42,400 --> 01:02:45,400
I guess this is one

1285
01:02:45,400 --> 01:02:46,400
everyone.

1286
01:02:46,400 --> 01:02:47,400
>> for what? >> I

1287
01:02:47,400 --> 01:02:48,400
don't know.

1288
01:02:48,400 --> 01:02:50,400
>> oh, special order. >>

1289
01:02:51,400 --> 01:02:53,400
oh,

01:02:54,400 --> 01:02:56,400
>> the election issue.

1292
01:02:57,400 --> 01:02:59,400
>> could I

1293
01:03:01,400 --> 01:03:05,000
ask everyone take their seats, please?

1294
01:03:06,400 --> 01:03:08,400

01:06:27,400 --> 01:06:30,400
item, staff will lower your hand

1416
01:06:30,400 --> 01:06:31,400
to ensure that members of the public

1417
01:06:31,400 --> 01:06:33,400
are

1418
01:06:33,400 --> 01:06:35,400
seeking to speak

1419
01:06:36,400 --> 01:06:38,800
on the appropriate agenda

1420
01:06:39,400 --> 01:06:42,400
item. So before we move

1421
01:06:42,400 --> 01:06:44,400
on to our

1422
01:06:45,400 --> 01:06:47,800
city council agenda, I'm

1423
01:06:48,400 --> 01:06:50,400
going

1424
01:06:51,400 --> 01:06:53,400
to ask that

1425
01:06:54,400 --> 01:06:57,400
the city council pause and

1426
01:06:57,400 --> 01:07:00,400
the audience pause for a moment of

1427
01:07:00,400 --> 01:07:01,400
silence for an 11th grader, isaiah mendoza, who

1428
01:07:01,400 --> 01:07:02,400
was killed

1429
01:07:02,400 --> 01:07:03,400
over the weekend from wilcox high

1430
01:07:03,400 --> 01:07:05,400
school. And because

1431
01:07:06,400 --> 01:07:08,800
of vice mayor cox

1432
01:07:09,400 --> 01:07:10,400
and her family was very familiar with

1433
01:07:10,400 --> 01:07:12,400
this

1434
01:07:12,400 --> 01:07:13,400
young gentleman and his family, she's

1435
01:07:13,400 --> 01:07:15,400
written

1436
01:07:15,400 --> 01:07:17,400
up

1437
01:07:17,400 --> 01:07:18,400
something very nice to say, so --

1438
01:07:18,400 --> 01:07:20,400
about him for a

1439
01:07:20,400 --> 01:07:21,400
moment of silence so. Vice mayor cox,

1440
01:07:21,400 --> 01:07:23,400
will you

1441
01:07:24,400 --> 01:07:26,400
please

1442
01:07:26,400 --> 01:07:27,400
do the honors.

1443
01:07:27,400 --> 01:07:28,400
>> thank you. Thanks,

1444
01:07:28,400 --> 01:07:30,400
everyone, give me

1445
01:07:30,400 --> 01:07:34,400
a minute here. Tonight we take a moment

1446
01:07:34,400 --> 01:07:35,400
to remember the short but

1447
01:07:35,400 --> 01:07:37,400
deeply impactful life of isaiah mendoza,

1448
01:07:37,400 --> 01:07:39,400
known by his

1449
01:07:39,400 --> 01:07:42,400
friends as zay, his family as pops,

1450
01:07:42,400 --> 01:07:45,400
his coaches as iam, he was a young

1451
01:07:45,400 --> 01:07:48,400
man whose spirit left a far bigger

1452
01:07:48,400 --> 01:07:49,400
imprint than his years. At just 16, isaiah

1453
01:07:49,400 --> 01:07:51,400
carried

1454
01:07:51,400 --> 01:07:53,400
himself with a mix of talent, kindness,

1455
01:07:53,400 --> 01:07:55,400
drive, and humility that inspired

1456
01:07:55,400 --> 01:07:56,400
everyone around him. His sudden

1457
01:07:56,400 --> 01:07:58,400
passing on saturday night has left

1458
01:07:58,400 --> 01:08:00,400
a wound in our

1459
01:08:00,400 --> 01:08:03,400
community that words can barely touch. Isaiah

1460
01:08:03,400 --> 01:08:04,400
was more than a student, more than

1461
01:08:04,400 --> 01:08:06,400
an athlete,

1462
01:08:07,400 --> 01:08:10,400
more than a competitor. He was

1463
01:08:10,400 --> 01:08:12,400
a son, a grandson, a brother, an apple

1464
01:08:12,400 --> 01:08:13,400
of his family's eye, his mom's baby. He

1465
01:08:13,400 --> 01:08:15,400
was a

1466
01:08:15,400 --> 01:08:16,400
loyal friend who showed up for people,

1467
01:08:16,400 --> 01:08:18,400
a teammate

1468
01:08:18,400 --> 01:08:19,400
who lifted others higher, and a strong

1469
01:08:19,400 --> 01:08:21,400
believer

1470
01:08:22,400 --> 01:08:24,800
whose faith shone through

1471
01:08:25,400 --> 01:08:26,400
how he treated

1472
01:08:26,400 --> 01:08:28,400
other people. In isaiah's simplicity, he's

1473
01:08:28,400 --> 01:08:29,400
what we all

1474
01:08:29,400 --> 01:08:31,400
aspire to be, a loving human. Last

1475
01:08:31,400 --> 01:08:33,400
night hundreds filled the field

1476
01:08:33,400 --> 01:08:34,400
at wilcox high school to honor him. They

1477
01:08:34,400 --> 01:08:36,400
came to

1478
01:08:36,400 --> 01:08:37,400
hug his family, to grieve together,

1479
01:08:37,400 --> 01:08:40,400
and to share stories, to

1480
01:08:40,400 --> 01:08:42,400
cling to each other in

1481
01:08:42,400 --> 01:08:43,400
the face of this unimaginable grief. That

1482
01:08:43,400 --> 01:08:44,400
gathering was not

1483
01:08:44,400 --> 01:08:46,400
just a farewell but a reflection on

1484
01:08:46,400 --> 01:08:48,800
the light that isaiah

1485
01:08:49,400 --> 01:08:50,400
gave and his

1486
01:08:50,400 --> 01:08:52,400
capacity to bring people together. Isaiah's

1487
01:08:52,400 --> 01:08:53,400
16 years carried a

1488
01:08:53,400 --> 01:08:55,400
fullness of joy and accomplishment

1489
01:08:55,400 --> 01:08:57,400
that some never reach

1490
01:08:57,400 --> 01:08:58,400
in a century. He lived with intention,

1491
01:08:58,400 --> 01:09:01,400
he poured himself into his

1492
01:09:01,400 --> 01:09:03,400
family and his friends and his

1493
01:09:03,400 --> 01:09:04,400
passions and his faith, and in giving so freely,

1494
01:09:04,400 --> 01:09:05,400
he

1495
01:09:05,400 --> 01:09:07,400
taught us how to live loudly, with

1496
01:09:07,400 --> 01:09:08,400
love, with courage, and with

1497
01:09:08,400 --> 01:09:10,400
purpose. And now in his absence, and

1498
01:09:10,400 --> 01:09:12,400
I thought about

1499
01:09:12,400 --> 01:09:16,400
this a lot yesterday when I watched

1500
01:09:16,400 --> 01:09:18,400
people, I was

1501
01:09:18,400 --> 01:09:19,400
reminded of the power of grief. And

1502
01:09:19,400 --> 01:09:21,800
I looked around this

1503
01:09:22,400 --> 01:09:24,800
room and this field

1504
01:09:25,400 --> 01:09:27,400
of people at their very best

1505
01:09:27,400 --> 01:09:28,400
because, man, we were raw, and hands

1506
01:09:28,400 --> 01:09:30,400
had nothing to hold

1507
01:09:30,400 --> 01:09:31,400
and our hearts were cracked open. And

1508
01:09:31,400 --> 01:09:32,400
in

1509
01:09:32,400 --> 01:09:34,400
that moment with no walls up to push

1510
01:09:34,400 --> 01:09:36,400
others out and

1511
01:09:36,400 --> 01:09:37,400
no one to hide behind, we only had the

1512
01:09:37,400 --> 01:09:39,400
simple urgent need

1513
01:09:40,400 --> 01:09:42,400
to hold on and reach out

1514
01:09:42,400 --> 01:09:43,400
to each other. And I just am reminded

1515
01:09:43,400 --> 01:09:45,800
that moments of grief

1516
01:09:46,400 --> 01:09:49,400
are powerful and rare and not to

1517
01:09:49,400 --> 01:09:52,400
be wasted. And as painful as it is,

1518
01:09:52,400 --> 01:09:55,400
it allows us space to love. More

1519
01:09:55,400 --> 01:09:57,400
freely than before

1520
01:09:58,400 --> 01:10:00,400
to forgive, to reflect, to

1521
01:10:00,400 --> 01:10:01,400
reconcile, and to pull people closer. Isaiah gave us

1522
01:10:01,400 --> 01:10:03,400
love

1523
01:10:03,400 --> 01:10:04,400
and laughter and life, and in his

1524
01:10:04,400 --> 01:10:06,400
passing he gives

1529

leave our hearts unguarded

1531
01:10:19,400 --> 01:10:21,400

have

1679
01:15:48,400 --> 01:15:50,400
three main pillars. Academic, this

1680
01:15:50,400 --> 01:15:52,400
is important

1681
01:15:52,400 --> 01:15:53,400
to support any student's academic

1682
01:15:53,400 --> 01:15:55,400
needs. One of our

1683
01:15:55,400 --> 01:15:56,400
key initiatives is mentorship. Our

1684
01:15:56,400 --> 01:15:58,800
second is professional. This

1685
01:15:59,400 --> 01:16:00,400
pillar is important to prepare and

1686
01:16:00,400 --> 01:16:01,400
grow

1687
01:16:01,400 --> 01:16:02,400
students' opportunities by building

1688
01:16:02,400 --> 01:16:04,400
confidence and ultimately boosting job

1689
01:16:04,400 --> 01:16:05,400
satisfaction. And then our last is

1690
01:16:05,400 --> 01:16:07,400
social. This pillar

1691
01:16:08,400 --> 01:16:10,400
is important to grow community and

1692
01:16:10,400 --> 01:16:11,400
create a sense of belonging. Thank

development

1716
01:16:49,400 --> 01:16:51,400
and academic resources. We offer undergraduate,

networking.

1721
01:16:57,400 --> 01:16:59,400
>> founded to create

1722
01:16:59,400 --> 01:17:02,400
a sense of belonging for chicana students,

environment where students can access

1725
01:17:05,400 --> 01:17:08,400
essential resources and build a strong network. Our

1726
01:17:08,400 --> 01:17:10,400
mission is grounded in three key

1727
01:17:10,400 --> 01:17:11,400
pillars, academics, community service,

1728
01:17:11,400 --> 01:17:13,400
and collegiate

1729
01:17:14,400 --> 01:17:15,400
networking.

1730
01:17:15,400 --> 01:17:17,400
>> at the core

1731
01:17:17,400 --> 01:17:19,400
of it is the model --

1732
01:17:19,400 --> 01:17:20,400
the power of women, which represents

1733
01:17:20,400 --> 01:17:22,800
the strength, determination, and

1734
01:17:23,400 --> 01:17:25,400
resilience of every one of

1735
01:17:25,400 --> 01:17:26,400
our members. This embodies our commitment

1736
01:17:26,400 --> 01:17:28,400
to higher education, the

1737
01:17:28,400 --> 01:17:29,400
empowerment of our families and communities,

1738
01:17:29,400 --> 01:17:30,400
and the

1739
01:17:30,400 --> 01:17:32,400
pursuit of equality and education

1740
01:17:32,400 --> 01:17:33,400
and beyond.

1741
01:17:33,400 --> 01:17:34,400
>> we

1742
01:17:34,400 --> 01:17:35,400
would like to express our sincere

1743
01:17:35,400 --> 01:17:37,400
gratitude to the

welcome.

1756
01:17:56,400 --> 01:17:57,400
>> thank you. Good evening,

1757
01:17:57,400 --> 01:17:58,400
everyone, my name is

1758
01:17:58,400 --> 01:17:59,400
donna garcia-ramirez, and I'm a sophomore

1759
01:17:59,400 --> 01:18:02,400
attending santa clara university, where

1760
01:18:02,400 --> 01:18:03,400
I am one of the chairs of

1761
01:18:03,400 --> 01:18:05,400
the latina student union. It is an

1762
01:18:05,400 --> 01:18:06,400
honor to be here with you all, and

1763
01:18:06,400 --> 01:18:08,400
I would like

1764
01:18:08,400 --> 01:18:09,400
to thank mayor lisa gillmor and everyone

1765
01:18:09,400 --> 01:18:10,400
on

1766
01:18:10,400 --> 01:18:11,400
santa clara city council for inviting

1767
01:18:11,400 --> 01:18:14,400
me here today. More importantly, I

1768
01:18:14,400 --> 01:18:15,400
thank you for taking time to

1769
01:18:15,400 --> 01:18:16,400
celebrate hispanic heritage month,

1770
01:18:16,400 --> 01:18:17,400
a month that means so much to me and

1771
01:18:17,400 --> 01:18:18,400
to the

1772
01:18:18,400 --> 01:18:20,400
thousands of people in santa clara

1773
01:18:20,400 --> 01:18:22,400
who are proud of their

1774
01:18:22,400 --> 01:18:23,400
latino heritage. At santa clara, I

1775
01:18:23,400 --> 01:18:25,400
had the

1776
01:18:25,400 --> 01:18:26,400
privilege of joining our latina student

1777
01:18:26,400 --> 01:18:29,400
union, where I felt an

1778
01:18:29,400 --> 01:18:31,400
immediate connection to the students

1779
01:18:31,400 --> 01:18:32,400
around me. Hearing everyone's stories

1780
01:18:32,400 --> 01:18:35,400
and upbringings was so inspiring. What

1781
01:18:35,400 --> 01:18:36,400
touched me the most was hearing the

1782
01:18:36,400 --> 01:18:37,400
struggles

1783
01:18:37,400 --> 01:18:38,400
many of my peers faced growing up,

1784
01:18:38,400 --> 01:18:40,400
yet the way

1785
01:18:40,400 --> 01:18:41,400
they were able to persevere, grow, and

1786
01:18:41,400 --> 01:18:43,400
end up at

1787
01:18:43,400 --> 01:18:44,400
an institution like santa clara. Lsu became like

1788
01:18:44,400 --> 01:18:46,400
a home to

1789
01:18:47,400 --> 01:18:49,400
me, and I learned how my voice, story,

1790
01:18:49,400 --> 01:18:50,400
and upbringing was valued, heard,

1791
01:18:50,400 --> 01:18:51,400
and celebrated. I

1792
01:18:51,400 --> 01:18:53,400
come from a low-income family where my

1793
01:18:53,400 --> 01:18:55,800
mexican mother came here

1794
01:18:56,400 --> 01:18:59,400
seeking a better life and

1795
01:18:59,400 --> 01:19:01,400
my salvadorian father came

1796
01:19:01,400 --> 01:19:02,400
here fleeing from the war. They were able

1797
01:19:02,400 --> 01:19:04,400
to provide me with everything

1798
01:19:04,400 --> 01:19:05,400
I needed in order to succeed. They

1799
01:19:05,400 --> 01:19:08,400
gave me a sense of

1800
01:19:08,400 --> 01:19:09,400
pride and taught me that no matter

1801
01:19:09,400 --> 01:19:10,400
what we may

1802
01:19:10,400 --> 01:19:12,400
go through, I have potential to have

1803
01:19:12,400 --> 01:19:13,400
a life they didn't have the

1804
01:19:13,400 --> 01:19:15,400
opportunity to have. My story is one

1805
01:19:15,400 --> 01:19:16,400
of many stories that students

1806
01:19:16,400 --> 01:19:18,400
carry with them at santa clara. At

1807
01:19:18,400 --> 01:19:20,400
the latina student

1808
01:19:20,400 --> 01:19:22,400
union at santa clara, we aim to unify

1809
01:19:22,400 --> 01:19:24,400
and amplify the voices of latina community

1810
01:19:24,400 --> 01:19:25,400
and our

1811
01:19:25,400 --> 01:19:27,400
allies, creating a safe, inclusive,

1812
01:19:27,400 --> 01:19:28,400
and respectful space where

1813
01:19:28,400 --> 01:19:30,400
we can organize together and empower

1814
01:19:30,400 --> 01:19:32,800
one another. We strive

1815
01:19:33,400 --> 01:19:35,400
to achieve this by fostering

1816
01:19:35,400 --> 01:19:37,400
a supportive community of current students,

1817
01:19:37,400 --> 01:19:39,400
alumni, faculty, and staff, creating

1818
01:19:39,400 --> 01:19:41,400
and maintaining

1819
01:19:41,400 --> 01:19:42,400
open channels of communication to

1820
01:19:42,400 --> 01:19:43,400
facilitate

1821
01:19:43,400 --> 01:19:45,400
awareness, discussion, and activism. On

1822
01:19:45,400 --> 01:19:46,400
behalf of the latina student

1823
01:19:46,400 --> 01:19:47,400
union, I say thank you for taking

1824
01:19:47,400 --> 01:19:48,400
the time to recognize this important

1825
01:19:48,400 --> 01:19:50,400
month

1826
01:19:50,400 --> 01:19:51,400
and for continuing the work of building

1827
01:19:51,400 --> 01:19:53,400
a

1828
01:19:54,400 --> 01:19:55,400
city where diversity's not just

1829
01:19:55,400 --> 01:19:56,400
acknowledged but celebrated as a strength.

1830
01:19:56,400 --> 01:19:57,400
>>

1831
01:19:57,400 --> 01:19:59,400
thank you so much for all

1832
01:19:59,400 --> 01:20:00,400
of you for being here today and telling

1833
01:20:00,400 --> 01:20:02,400
us about

1834
01:20:02,400 --> 01:20:03,400
the incredible work that all your

1835
01:20:03,400 --> 01:20:04,400
organizations

1836
01:20:04,400 --> 01:20:06,400
are doing and how you're enriching the

1837
01:20:06,400 --> 01:20:07,400
lives of the hispanic community

1838
01:20:07,400 --> 01:20:09,400
here in santa clara. So I would like

1839
01:20:09,400 --> 01:20:11,400
you all to please join us up

1840
01:20:11,400 --> 01:20:12,400
here so I can present you with these

1841
01:20:12,400 --> 01:20:14,400
proclamations. We

1842
01:20:15,400 --> 01:20:18,400
have one for each of the groups,

1843
01:20:18,400 --> 01:20:20,400
and we

1844
01:20:21,400 --> 01:20:25,600
can take a photo. Please, join us.

1845
01:21:51,400 --> 01:21:53,400
>> [ applause ]

1846
01:22:24,400 --> 01:22:25,400
>> all right, that's our

1847
01:22:25,400 --> 01:22:27,400
first one. We typically don't take

1848
01:22:27,400 --> 01:22:28,400
public comment after our

1849
01:22:28,400 --> 01:22:29,400
special orders of business, but I

1850
01:22:29,400 --> 01:22:30,400
would invite anyone who would like

1851
01:22:30,400 --> 01:22:32,400
to make

1852
01:22:32,400 --> 01:22:33,400
a public comment on any of our special

1853
01:22:33,400 --> 01:22:35,400
orders of business

1854
01:22:36,400 --> 01:22:38,400
to do it

1855
01:22:39,400 --> 01:22:41,400
under public presentation, which is

1856
01:22:41,400 --> 01:22:42,400
shortly after our special orders of business. Our

1857
01:22:42,400 --> 01:22:44,400
next special

1858
01:22:45,400 --> 01:22:47,400
order of business

1859
01:22:48,400 --> 01:22:51,400
is item 3b, and that is

1860
01:22:51,400 --> 01:22:53,400
we are declaring

1861
01:22:53,400 --> 01:22:54,400
september as childhood cancer awareness

1862
01:22:54,400 --> 01:22:57,400
month. This month is a time

1863
01:22:57,400 --> 01:23:00,400
to honor the courage of the hundreds

1864
01:23:00,400 --> 01:23:02,400
of thousands of

1865
01:23:02,400 --> 01:23:03,400
children who are facing cancer, survived

1866
01:23:03,400 --> 01:23:05,400
cancer, or

1867
01:23:06,400 --> 01:23:07,400
were taken too soon. It's also a time

1868
01:23:07,400 --> 01:23:09,400
to

1869
01:23:09,400 --> 01:23:11,400
acknowledge the strength of all the

1870
01:23:11,400 --> 01:23:12,400
pediatric patients, their families,

1871
01:23:12,400 --> 01:23:14,400
and their

1872
01:23:15,400 --> 01:23:16,400
caretakers and to pay tribute to their

1873
01:23:16,400 --> 01:23:18,400
commitment

1874
01:23:18,400 --> 01:23:20,800
to continuing the fight

1875
01:23:21,400 --> 01:23:22,400
and never giving up. The lucile

1876
01:23:22,400 --> 01:23:24,400
packard children's hospital at stanford

1877
01:23:24,400 --> 01:23:26,800

1882
01:23:36,400 --> 01:23:37,400
care that addresses the emotional,

1883
01:23:37,400 --> 01:23:39,400
practical, and financial struggles

cancer awareness

1901
01:24:14,400 --> 01:24:15,400
month. Jacob's heart expanded into

1902
01:24:15,400 --> 01:24:16,400
all of santa clara county, so we are

1903
01:24:16,400 --> 01:24:17,400
here to wrap

1904
01:24:17,400 --> 01:24:18,400
your families in love and support. If

1905
01:24:18,400 --> 01:24:20,400
you come across someone

1906
01:24:20,400 --> 01:24:21,400
in the community who is facing pediatric cancer,

1907
01:24:21,400 --> 01:24:23,400
anyone under

1908
01:24:24,400 --> 01:24:27,400
the age of 21, please send them

1909
01:24:27,400 --> 01:24:28,400
our way. We're here to

1910
01:24:28,400 --> 01:24:29,400
help them financially, practically,

1911
01:24:29,400 --> 01:24:30,400
socially, emotionally, really giving

1912
01:24:30,400 --> 01:24:32,400
them that peer-to-peer

1913
01:24:32,400 --> 01:24:33,400
support that they need. We're here

1914
01:24:33,400 --> 01:24:34,400
to make sure that families

1915
01:24:34,400 --> 01:24:36,400
aren't facing this journey alone. So

1916
01:24:36,400 --> 01:24:39,400
if you would like to

1917
01:24:39,400 --> 01:24:42,400
ever get involved, just look up jacobsheart.org,

1918
01:24:42,400 --> 01:24:43,400

1919
01:24:43,400 --> 01:24:45,400

september

1922
01:24:47,400 --> 01:24:48,400
as childhood cancer awareness month. We

1923
01:24:48,400 --> 01:24:50,400
can't do

1924
01:24:51,400 --> 01:24:53,400
the work we

1925
01:24:54,400 --> 01:24:56,400
do without you guys. Our families

1926
01:24:56,400 --> 01:24:58,400
can't thank you enough for standing with them

1927
01:24:58,400 --> 01:24:59,400
through

1928
01:24:59,400 --> 01:25:00,400

01:25:06,400 --> 01:25:07,400

1935
01:25:09,400 --> 01:25:10,400

>> just me. I came

1939
01:25:15,400 --> 01:25:16,400
from watsonville.

1940
01:25:16,400 --> 01:25:17,400
>> I'd like to invite

1941
01:25:17,400 --> 01:25:19,400
just you up here. And we'd

1942
01:25:19,400 --> 01:25:20,400
like

01:25:20,400 --> 01:25:24,000
to present you with this proclamation.

1944
01:27:19,400 --> 01:27:21,400
>> no, that's okay.

1945
01:27:31,400 --> 01:27:33,400
all right. So our

1946
01:27:33,400 --> 01:27:36,400

gift from friendship city icheon,

1953
01:27:46,400 --> 01:27:47,400
republic of korea. I'd

1954
01:27:47,400 --> 01:27:49,400
like to invite the president of the

1955
01:27:49,400 --> 01:27:50,400

that we're going to --

1969
01:28:16,400 --> 01:28:17,400
>> is margaret here? >>

1970
01:28:17,400 --> 01:28:18,400
--

1971
01:28:18,400 --> 01:28:22,400
a little bit later to receive, but I'm

1972
01:28:22,400 --> 01:28:24,800
going to bring up

1973
01:28:25,400 --> 01:28:27,400
dr. Uni ku to

1974
01:28:27,400 --> 01:28:28,400
present with me on icheon. We thought

1975
01:28:28,400 --> 01:28:30,400
we'd present on

1976
01:28:31,400 --> 01:28:33,400
icheon first so we can leave the

1977
01:28:33,400 --> 01:28:34,400
balance for the japan trip, which

1978
01:28:34,400 --> 01:28:36,400
I want

1979
01:28:37,400 --> 01:28:39,400
to sit comfortably

1980
01:28:39,400 --> 01:28:40,400
to hear. Thank you have much. Santa

1981
01:28:40,400 --> 01:28:42,800
clara signed a --

1982
01:28:43,400 --> 01:28:45,400
a lot of people think of icheon

1983
01:28:45,400 --> 01:28:46,400
because of the airport, but it's icheon,

1984
01:28:46,400 --> 01:28:47,400
korea, and what

1985
01:28:47,400 --> 01:28:49,400
a lot of people don't know is -- I

1986
01:28:49,400 --> 01:28:51,400
think this

1987
01:28:52,400 --> 01:28:54,400
is where we are, icheon, it's the

1988
01:28:54,400 --> 01:28:55,400
province, the county that icheon is

1989
01:28:55,400 --> 01:28:57,400
in

1990
01:28:58,400 --> 01:29:00,400
is actually a very large county. And the

1991
01:29:00,400 --> 01:29:01,400
idea is it used to be very much agricultural,

1992
01:29:01,400 --> 01:29:03,400
so

1993
01:29:04,400 --> 01:29:05,400
there's a lot of rice. In fact, if you're

1994
01:29:05,400 --> 01:29:06,400
in

1995
01:29:06,400 --> 01:29:07,400
korea, you know about icheon rice. It's

1996
01:29:07,400 --> 01:29:10,400
very famous for its rice. And

1997
01:29:10,400 --> 01:29:11,400
it's got -- and the city

1998
01:29:11,400 --> 01:29:13,400
itself is actually pretty large. Almost about

1999
01:29:13,400 --> 01:29:16,400
twice as large as the city

2000
01:29:16,400 --> 01:29:19,400
of santa clara. And it's

2001
01:29:19,400 --> 01:29:20,400
known for its ceramics. This is something

2002
01:29:20,400 --> 01:29:22,400
I learned in talking with icheon,

2003
01:29:22,400 --> 01:29:25,400
but it's something we got to experience

2004
01:29:25,400 --> 01:29:28,400
when we went to the

2005
01:29:31,400 --> 01:29:34,400
ceramics festival. It's a u

2006
01:29:34,400 --> 01:29:36,400
--

2007
01:29:37,400 --> 01:29:40,400
and we were able to join the

2008
01:29:40,400 --> 01:29:41,400
festival, and it is an

2009
01:29:41,400 --> 01:29:42,400
international ceramics festival. It's

2010
01:29:42,400 --> 01:29:43,400
actually very famous. If you look

2011
01:29:43,400 --> 01:29:45,400
it

2012
01:29:46,400 --> 01:29:49,400
up, you can see it. The

2013
01:29:49,400 --> 01:29:51,400
delegation

2014
01:29:52,400 --> 01:29:54,400
members

2015
01:29:55,400 --> 01:29:57,400
were myself, dr. Eun koo,

2016
01:29:57,400 --> 01:29:58,400
and shiv dagar. He's not able to be here tonight,

2017
01:29:58,400 --> 01:30:00,400
but he helped

2018
01:30:00,400 --> 01:30:01,400
with the presentation, so he knows

2019
01:30:01,400 --> 01:30:02,400
what's being presented. And

2020
01:30:02,400 --> 01:30:04,400
in icheon, we will go through each

2021
01:30:04,400 --> 01:30:07,400
of the people, but we met with

2022
01:30:07,400 --> 01:30:10,400
the mayor, with the chief staff, and

2023
01:30:10,400 --> 01:30:11,400
also with the supervisor of education. Because

2024
01:30:11,400 --> 01:30:13,400
what

2025
01:30:13,400 --> 01:30:14,400
we'd like to do with the city of icheon

2026
01:30:14,400 --> 01:30:15,400
as

2027
01:30:15,400 --> 01:30:16,400
a sister city relationship, we'd real lie

2028
01:30:16,400 --> 01:30:18,400
like to do the school exchanges, the

2029
01:30:18,400 --> 01:30:19,400
middle school, the high school exchanges

2030
01:30:19,400 --> 01:30:21,400
that we do with

2031
01:30:21,400 --> 01:30:22,400
all of our other sister cities. And

2032
01:30:22,400 --> 01:30:24,400
hopefully we'll hear

2033
01:30:25,400 --> 01:30:26,400
some great stories from japan. I'd

2034
01:30:26,400 --> 01:30:27,400
love to hear

2035
01:30:27,400 --> 01:30:28,400
maybe next year, maybe the year after some

2036
01:30:28,400 --> 01:30:30,400
great stories

2037
01:30:30,400 --> 01:30:31,400
from korea as well. They actually

2038
01:30:31,400 --> 01:30:33,400
gave us a

2039
01:30:33,400 --> 01:30:34,400
full schedule. It was a pretty big

2040
01:30:34,400 --> 01:30:36,400
vip

2041
01:30:37,400 --> 01:30:39,400
tour. And I'm going to leave

2042
01:30:39,400 --> 01:30:40,400
the cultural explanations to dr. Koo,

2043
01:30:40,400 --> 01:30:42,400
who knows

2044
01:30:43,400 --> 01:30:44,400
more than I do.

2045
01:30:44,400 --> 01:30:46,400
>> okay, we

2046
01:30:46,400 --> 01:30:48,400
visited

2047
01:30:49,400 --> 01:30:52,400
the tomb of king sejong

2048
01:30:52,400 --> 01:30:55,400
-- and the creator of the

2049
01:30:55,400 --> 01:30:57,400
korean alphabet. And then

2050
01:30:57,400 --> 01:30:58,400
we visited shinleuk temple, shinleuk

2051
01:30:58,400 --> 01:31:00,400
sa, and after

2052
01:31:01,400 --> 01:31:03,400
the temple tour, the sister

2053
01:31:03,400 --> 01:31:04,400
city's welcome dinner began our exchange.

2054
01:31:04,400 --> 01:31:05,400
>>

2055
01:31:05,400 --> 01:31:06,400
and we have

2056
01:31:06,400 --> 01:31:07,400
to remember that these tours happened

2057
01:31:07,400 --> 01:31:10,400
even before the exchange started,

2058
01:31:10,400 --> 01:31:14,400
even before we met any of the

2059
01:31:14,400 --> 01:31:16,400
other cities, even before

2060
01:31:16,400 --> 01:31:18,400
we met the mayor of icheon. This was

2061
01:31:18,400 --> 01:31:20,400
the sister city's welcome dinner. We

2062
01:31:20,400 --> 01:31:22,400
found there

2063
01:31:22,400 --> 01:31:24,400
were a number of cities. There are

2064
01:31:24,400 --> 01:31:26,400
seven cities from four different countries,

2065
01:31:26,400 --> 01:31:28,800
I believe, I don't

2066
01:31:29,400 --> 01:31:30,400
know if I've --

2067
01:31:30,400 --> 01:31:32,400
well, maybe I'll go back, but you

2068
01:31:32,400 --> 01:31:33,400
know, we had

2069
01:31:33,400 --> 01:31:35,400
--actually, it's a later slide --

2070
01:31:35,400 --> 01:31:37,400
but you'll

2071
01:31:37,400 --> 01:31:38,400
see the delegation here. Many of these

2072
01:31:38,400 --> 01:31:40,400
cities also

2073
01:31:41,400 --> 01:31:42,400
have a long history or

2074
01:31:42,400 --> 01:31:43,400
a storied history of ceramics. So it

2075
01:31:43,400 --> 01:31:44,400
was very interesting to see the gifts

2076
01:31:44,400 --> 01:31:46,400
that

2077
01:31:47,400 --> 01:31:50,400
were brought to the city. It was

2078
01:31:50,400 --> 01:31:52,400
very interesting to

2079
01:31:52,400 --> 01:31:53,400
see how the exchanges started and

2080
01:31:53,400 --> 01:31:54,400
santa

2081
01:31:54,400 --> 01:31:56,400
clara isn't really known for ceramics, but

2082
01:31:56,400 --> 01:31:57,400
we could be. We could be if we

2083
01:31:57,400 --> 01:31:59,400
have a good attitude. But as they

2084
01:31:59,400 --> 01:32:02,400
go, as the city of icheon

2085
01:32:02,400 --> 01:32:05,400
goes into a little bit

2086
01:32:05,400 --> 01:32:06,400
of more technical with --as one of

2087
01:32:06,400 --> 01:32:08,400
their biggest companies in technology,

2088
01:32:08,400 --> 01:32:11,400
we see a lot of

2089
01:32:11,400 --> 01:32:12,400
things we could do together. The mayor

2090
01:32:12,400 --> 01:32:14,400
meeting and mutual gift exchange was,

2091
01:32:14,400 --> 01:32:16,400
again, for sister cities, you

2092
01:32:16,400 --> 01:32:19,400
know, so all the same people from

2093
01:32:19,400 --> 01:32:20,400
the previous --the previous slide. And

2094
01:32:20,400 --> 01:32:22,400
it was

2095
01:32:23,400 --> 01:32:25,400
very interesting to

2096
01:32:25,400 --> 01:32:26,400
hear how the sister cities started,

2097
01:32:26,400 --> 01:32:27,400
the

2098
01:32:27,400 --> 01:32:29,400
ceramics relationships that started

2099
01:32:29,400 --> 01:32:31,400
almost 30 years

2100
01:32:33,400 --> 01:32:35,400
ago. Almost every single one. We've

2101
01:32:35,400 --> 01:32:37,400
had france, two cities

2102
01:32:37,400 --> 01:32:38,400
in japan, santa fe, and two cities

2103
01:32:38,400 --> 01:32:40,400
in china. All

2104
01:32:41,400 --> 01:32:43,400
known for their

2105
01:32:44,400 --> 01:32:45,400
ceramics. There were quite a few

2106
01:32:45,400 --> 01:32:46,400
ceramics-related gifts. We almost

2107
01:32:46,400 --> 01:32:50,400
felt as the odd one out here. But

2108
01:32:50,400 --> 01:32:52,400
it was very beautiful to

2109
01:32:52,400 --> 01:32:53,400
see. We exchanged our gift, which

2110
01:32:53,400 --> 01:32:54,400
was

2111
01:32:54,400 --> 01:32:56,400
very nice. It was accepted very nicely. I

2112
01:32:56,400 --> 01:32:58,400
think staff did

2113
01:32:58,400 --> 01:32:59,400
a great job at helping select the

2114
01:32:59,400 --> 01:33:01,400
gift. And

2115
01:33:02,400 --> 01:33:04,400
we have the

2116
01:33:05,400 --> 01:33:08,400
gift for the --our sister

2117
01:33:08,400 --> 01:33:10,800
city association a little

2118
01:33:11,400 --> 01:33:12,400
bit later.

2119
01:33:12,400 --> 01:33:14,400
>> and we

2120
01:33:14,400 --> 01:33:17,400
met with the --of education

2121
01:33:17,400 --> 01:33:19,400
to explore student

2122
01:33:20,400 --> 01:33:22,800
and teacher exchanges. --classes

2123
01:33:24,400 --> 01:33:28,000
and project-based language and culture program.

2124
01:33:32,400 --> 01:33:34,400
and the festival

2125
01:33:35,400 --> 01:33:37,400
drew over 1,000 attendees

2126
01:33:37,400 --> 01:33:38,400
and featured international guests,

2127
01:33:38,400 --> 01:33:40,400
the

2128
01:33:41,400 --> 01:33:43,400
mayor and the

2129
01:33:47,400 --> 01:33:50,400
councilmembers and the special operatic

2130
01:33:50,400 --> 01:33:52,400
performances. And we toured

2131
01:33:52,400 --> 01:33:55,400
the ceramic exhibitions and joined

2132
01:33:56,400 --> 01:33:58,800
the pottery session led

2133
01:33:59,400 --> 01:34:01,400
by master artisan

2134
01:34:02,400 --> 01:34:04,400
kim chang seb. And also our

2135
01:34:04,400 --> 01:34:05,400
delegation enjoyed a traditional turtle

2136
01:34:05,400 --> 01:34:07,400
folk

2137
01:34:08,400 --> 01:34:10,800
play a lively performance

2138
01:34:11,400 --> 01:34:14,400
preserved by the local cultural

2139
01:34:14,400 --> 01:34:16,800
society. And then we

2140
01:34:17,400 --> 01:34:19,800
visited the world class

2141
01:34:20,400 --> 01:34:21,400
icheon cerapia ceramic museum and

2142
01:34:21,400 --> 01:34:22,400
the

2143
01:34:22,400 --> 01:34:23,400
democracy movement exhibition hall

2144
01:34:23,400 --> 01:34:25,400
to

2145
01:34:26,400 --> 01:34:27,400
learn about both

2146
01:34:27,400 --> 01:34:28,400
art and modern korean history.

2147
01:34:28,400 --> 01:34:29,400
>> and

2148
01:34:29,400 --> 01:34:32,400
it was a very short trip, but it

2149
01:34:32,400 --> 01:34:34,400
was a very full trip. I think if we

2150
01:34:34,400 --> 01:34:35,400
spend four days there and every single

2151
01:34:35,400 --> 01:34:37,400
hour of

2152
01:34:37,400 --> 01:34:38,400
those --of that trip was meaningful,

2153
01:34:38,400 --> 01:34:40,400
had something that they

2154
01:34:40,400 --> 01:34:41,400
presented that they were able to prepare for

2155
01:34:41,400 --> 01:34:43,800
us. And we're very

2156
01:34:44,400 --> 01:34:48,600
happy to do that. I also want

2157
01:34:49,400 --> 01:34:50,400
to now bring up the gift. I'd like

2158
01:34:50,400 --> 01:34:52,400
to

2159
01:34:53,400 --> 01:34:56,400
call up the president of the

2160
01:34:56,400 --> 01:34:58,400
santa clara sister cities

2161
01:34:58,400 --> 01:34:59,400
association to receive the gift. Again,

2162
01:34:59,400 --> 01:35:01,400
this

2163
01:35:02,400 --> 01:35:04,400
visit was for the sister city

2164
01:35:04,400 --> 01:35:07,400
-- the international sister cities

2165
01:35:08,400 --> 01:35:09,400
that icheon had. And

2166
01:35:09,400 --> 01:35:11,400
they presented this handmade vase. We

2167
01:35:11,400 --> 01:35:13,400
actually got to learn how

2168
01:35:13,400 --> 01:35:14,400
to make the shape, but we learned

2169
01:35:14,400 --> 01:35:16,400
nothing

2170
01:35:16,400 --> 01:35:17,400
about how to make this vase. And this is

2171
01:35:17,400 --> 01:35:19,400
something

2172
01:35:20,400 --> 01:35:23,400
that I hope will stay in the

2173
01:35:23,400 --> 01:35:25,400
sister

2174
01:35:26,400 --> 01:35:30,000
city's archives for a long time.

2175
01:35:44,400 --> 01:35:46,400
>> so

2176
01:35:47,400 --> 01:35:49,400
I want to

2177
01:35:50,400 --> 01:35:53,400
introduce that too, right? This is

2178
01:35:53,400 --> 01:35:54,400
izumo, correct? So this is a special

2179
01:35:54,400 --> 01:35:56,400
presentation from

2180
01:35:56,400 --> 01:35:58,400
the clara and wilcox high

2181
01:35:58,400 --> 01:35:59,400
school students and the santa clara

2182
01:35:59,400 --> 01:36:01,400
sister

2183
01:36:01,400 --> 01:36:02,400
cities association on their recent

2184
01:36:02,400 --> 01:36:04,800
exchange visit to our

2185
01:36:05,400 --> 01:36:06,400
sister city of izumo, japan. The santa

2186
01:36:06,400 --> 01:36:07,400
clara sister

2187
01:36:07,400 --> 01:36:08,400
cities association enriches the lives

2188
01:36:08,400 --> 01:36:10,400
of

2189
01:36:11,400 --> 01:36:13,400
our community members by encouraging

2190
01:36:13,400 --> 01:36:14,400
opportunities such as student exchanges

2191
01:36:14,400 --> 01:36:15,400
between santa

2192
01:36:15,400 --> 01:36:17,400
clara sister cities. These exchanges

2193
01:36:17,400 --> 01:36:19,400
allow our young

2194
01:36:19,400 --> 01:36:20,400
people in our community to explore

2195
01:36:20,400 --> 01:36:22,400
cultures from

2196
01:36:23,400 --> 01:36:25,800
around the world. At

2197
01:36:26,400 --> 01:36:27,400
this time, I'd like

2198
01:36:27,400 --> 01:36:29,400

2217
01:37:06,400 --> 01:37:08,400
I had

2218
01:37:08,400 --> 01:37:10,400
the privilege of traveling with

2219
01:37:10,400 --> 01:37:12,400

01:37:18,400 --> 01:37:20,400

01:37:21,400 --> 01:37:24,400
are here with me tonight to

01:37:24,400 --> 01:37:26,800
share their reflections and

2226
01:37:27,400 --> 01:37:29,400
experiences. Our student

2228
01:37:33,400 --> 01:37:35,400

2234
01:37:47,400 --> 01:37:50,400
warmly welcomed by local community,

2235
01:37:50,400 --> 01:37:53,400
including city hall officials and

kindness, hospitality, generosity

2240
01:38:00,400 --> 01:38:02,400
made a lasting

2241
01:38:03,400 --> 01:38:06,400

>>

2248
01:38:19,400 --> 01:38:20,400
welcome.

2249
01:38:20,400 --> 01:38:21,400
>> hi, thank you. Hi, my

2250
01:38:21,400 --> 01:38:22,400
name is sora, and

2251
01:38:22,400 --> 01:38:24,400
this is a brief photo presentation

2252
01:38:24,400 --> 01:38:26,800
that I put together

2253
01:38:27,400 --> 01:38:29,400
to

2254
01:38:30,400 --> 01:38:34,000
recap our trip to izumo, japan.

2255
01:38:36,400 --> 01:38:37,400
to start off,

2256
01:38:37,400 --> 01:38:39,400
we have the welcome party. For me

2257
01:38:39,400 --> 01:38:41,400
personally, the welcome party in izumo

2258
01:38:41,400 --> 01:38:42,400
was one of the most memorable parts

2259
01:38:42,400 --> 01:38:43,400
of

2260
01:38:43,400 --> 01:38:45,400
my trip. The warmth and excitement

2261
01:38:45,400 --> 01:38:47,400
of the community

2262
01:38:48,400 --> 01:38:49,400
made me feel

2263
01:38:49,400 --> 01:38:51,400
truly at home. Sharing food, traditions,

2264
01:38:51,400 --> 01:38:53,400
and

2265
01:38:53,400 --> 01:38:54,400
laughter with the students and families

2266
01:38:54,400 --> 01:38:56,800
showed me how powerful

2267
01:38:57,400 --> 01:38:59,400
cultural exchange can be in

2268
01:38:59,400 --> 01:39:00,400
turning strangers into friends. Overall,

2269
01:39:00,400 --> 01:39:02,400
this

2270
01:39:03,400 --> 01:39:05,400
was an unforgettable --sorry

2271
01:39:05,400 --> 01:39:06,400
--unforgettable experience, and words

2272
01:39:06,400 --> 01:39:08,800
cannot express how truly

2273
01:39:09,400 --> 01:39:11,400
grateful I am

2274
01:39:12,400 --> 01:39:13,400
to have had the privilege. Thank you.

2275
01:39:13,400 --> 01:39:15,400
>>

2276
01:39:20,400 --> 01:39:21,400
hi. My name is priscilla, and I'm a

2277
01:39:21,400 --> 01:39:23,400
senior from

2278
01:39:24,400 --> 01:39:25,400
santa clara high school. So the trip

2279
01:39:25,400 --> 01:39:26,400
to

2280
01:39:26,400 --> 01:39:27,400
izumo was probably one of the best

2281
01:39:27,400 --> 01:39:28,400
trips I've ever

2282
01:39:28,400 --> 01:39:30,400
been on. The organization and planning

2283
01:39:30,400 --> 01:39:32,400
of it was, like, top tier. And

2284
01:39:32,400 --> 01:39:33,400
even when I was going on vacation

2285
01:39:33,400 --> 01:39:35,400
with my family

2286
01:39:35,400 --> 01:39:36,400
or personally, it had never been this thought

2287
01:39:36,400 --> 01:39:39,400
out and organized. So here

2288
01:39:39,400 --> 01:39:42,400
are some of the things

2289
01:39:42,400 --> 01:39:44,400
we did

2290
01:39:45,400 --> 01:39:47,400
on

2291
01:39:48,400 --> 01:39:50,400
our trip. The

2292
01:39:51,400 --> 01:39:53,400
ink dyeing workshop --

2293
01:39:53,400 --> 01:39:54,400
[ inaudible ] closer, okay. So one

2294
01:39:54,400 --> 01:39:56,400
of the most

2295
01:39:57,400 --> 01:40:00,400
memorable parts of my trip

2296
01:40:00,400 --> 01:40:01,400
was me personally going to izumo

2297
01:40:01,400 --> 01:40:03,400
and visiting all the schools. Like

2298
01:40:03,400 --> 01:40:04,400
I was a little bit nervous at first,

2299
01:40:04,400 --> 01:40:06,400
but

2300
01:40:06,400 --> 01:40:09,400
they were all just so incredibly kind

2301
01:40:09,400 --> 01:40:10,400
and, like, welcoming despite the language

2302
01:40:10,400 --> 01:40:12,400
barrier. They

2303
01:40:12,400 --> 01:40:13,400
included me, asking me questions,

2304
01:40:13,400 --> 01:40:15,400
and

2305
01:40:15,400 --> 01:40:16,400
you know, were always willing to

2306
01:40:16,400 --> 01:40:18,400
help. Their respect and care was unlike

2307
01:40:18,400 --> 01:40:19,400
anything I ever experienced in

2308
01:40:19,400 --> 01:40:21,400
the u.s. It was so luscious. There

2309
01:40:21,400 --> 01:40:22,400
was so much greenery, and

2310
01:40:22,400 --> 01:40:24,400
I appreciated learning, you know,

2311
01:40:24,400 --> 01:40:25,400
a little bit about the culture. And

2312
01:40:25,400 --> 01:40:27,400
I loved all the shrines and temples,

2313
01:40:27,400 --> 01:40:30,400
which is something I don't

2314
01:40:30,400 --> 01:40:31,400
get to see here. And I'm truly grateful

2315
01:40:31,400 --> 01:40:32,400
for

2316
01:40:32,400 --> 01:40:33,400
this unforgettable experience. It's

2317
01:40:33,400 --> 01:40:34,400
had such a huge impact on me, and

2318
01:40:34,400 --> 01:40:35,400
I've

2319
01:40:35,400 --> 01:40:36,400
shared it with everyone I know. And

2320
01:40:36,400 --> 01:40:38,400
because of

2321
01:40:38,400 --> 01:40:39,400
that now, students at santa clara

2322
01:40:39,400 --> 01:40:41,400
high school are now

2323
01:40:41,400 --> 01:40:42,400
more committed than ever to spread

2324
01:40:42,400 --> 01:40:44,400
the word

2325
01:40:45,400 --> 01:40:48,400
and get others involved. And

2326
01:40:48,400 --> 01:40:50,800
we're so excited for

2327
01:40:51,400 --> 01:40:52,400
what's ahead.

2328
01:40:52,400 --> 01:40:54,400
>> you

2329
01:40:54,400 --> 01:40:55,400
had fun.

2330
01:40:55,400 --> 01:40:56,400
>> hello, my name's

2331
01:40:56,400 --> 01:40:57,400
kim, I'm currently a sophomore at

2332
01:40:57,400 --> 01:40:59,400
wilcox, although

2333
01:41:00,400 --> 01:41:01,400
I traveled to izumo in my

2334
01:41:01,400 --> 01:41:03,400
freshman year. Some highlights from

2335
01:41:03,400 --> 01:41:06,400
my trip were just having free

2336
01:41:06,400 --> 01:41:07,400
time with my family, as I don't have

2337
01:41:07,400 --> 01:41:09,400
siblings

2338
01:41:09,400 --> 01:41:11,400
so it was basically like having a

2339
01:41:11,400 --> 01:41:12,400
sibling. And it truly felt --I truly

2340
01:41:12,400 --> 01:41:14,400
felt a strong

2341
01:41:15,400 --> 01:41:16,400
bond from them, considering they opened

2342
01:41:16,400 --> 01:41:18,400
their

2343
01:41:18,400 --> 01:41:20,400
homes to me

2344
01:41:21,400 --> 01:41:23,400
with welcoming and warm arms. My

2345
01:41:23,400 --> 01:41:24,400
most memorable memory from the trip

2346
01:41:24,400 --> 01:41:26,400
wasn't something insane

2347
01:41:26,400 --> 01:41:27,400
or crazy, but it was going to the

2348
01:41:27,400 --> 01:41:29,400
mall and

2349
01:41:29,400 --> 01:41:30,400
hanging out with my host family. And

2350
01:41:30,400 --> 01:41:32,400
we played a

2351
01:41:33,400 --> 01:41:36,400
crane game. And it felt like being

2352
01:41:36,400 --> 01:41:38,400
part of their family themselves and

2353
01:41:38,400 --> 01:41:39,400
being just a sibling there. And it

2354
01:41:39,400 --> 01:41:41,800
was truly incredible, and

2355
01:41:42,400 --> 01:41:44,400
I can't put words to it. So

2356
01:41:44,400 --> 01:41:45,400
for the lion dance that we saw while

2357
01:41:45,400 --> 01:41:47,400
we

2358
01:41:48,400 --> 01:41:50,400
were in izumo,

2359
01:41:50,400 --> 01:41:51,400
it was incredibly fun. For me I felt

2360
01:41:51,400 --> 01:41:53,800
that it was incredibly

2361
01:41:54,400 --> 01:41:56,400
interesting to see --to learn

2362
01:41:56,400 --> 01:41:59,400
about this longtime tradition and

2363
01:42:00,400 --> 01:42:01,400
the preservation of this tradition

2364
01:42:01,400 --> 01:42:03,400
now. And

2365
01:42:03,400 --> 01:42:04,400
some notable parts of it was, obviously,

2366
01:42:04,400 --> 01:42:05,400
trying

2367
01:42:05,400 --> 01:42:06,400
on the costumes. As you can see, many

2368
01:42:06,400 --> 01:42:08,400
of the

2369
01:42:09,400 --> 01:42:10,400
students are trying on

2370
01:42:10,400 --> 01:42:12,400
the costumes. I remember laughing

2371
01:42:12,400 --> 01:42:15,400
and joking with the other

2372
01:42:17,400 --> 01:42:18,400
students about the costumes as they

2373
01:42:18,400 --> 01:42:20,800
were heavy. And we've

2374
01:42:21,400 --> 01:42:23,400
never experienced anything

2375
01:42:24,400 --> 01:42:27,400
like that. We all enjoyed

2376
01:42:27,400 --> 01:42:30,400
it thoroughly. Next I semi, visiting

2377
01:42:30,400 --> 01:42:33,400
the schools. We visited both an

2378
01:42:33,400 --> 01:42:36,400
elementary school and a high

2379
01:42:36,400 --> 01:42:38,400
school, and

2380
01:42:38,400 --> 01:42:39,400
both were incredibly fun experiences.

2381
01:42:39,400 --> 01:42:42,400
notably my favorite takeaway from

2382
01:42:42,400 --> 01:42:44,400
it was seeing

2383
01:42:45,400 --> 01:42:46,400
the difference in how the schools were

2384
01:42:46,400 --> 01:42:47,400
structured

2385
01:42:47,400 --> 01:42:48,400
and it felt more community based and

2386
01:42:48,400 --> 01:42:50,400
everyone

2387
01:42:51,400 --> 01:42:52,400
felt like a tight knit pack. And it

2388
01:42:52,400 --> 01:42:54,400
was just something I

2389
01:42:54,400 --> 01:42:57,400
came back to america wanting

2390
01:42:57,400 --> 01:43:00,400
to recreate. And that felt very

2391
01:43:00,400 --> 01:43:02,400
valuable to

2392
01:43:02,400 --> 01:43:03,400
me. And also just cultural exchanges,

2393
01:43:03,400 --> 01:43:05,400
since those kids are from our

2394
01:43:05,400 --> 01:43:06,400
age group, one of the most notable

2395
01:43:06,400 --> 01:43:08,400
experiences I

2396
01:43:09,400 --> 01:43:12,400
had was teaching slang to

2397
01:43:12,400 --> 01:43:15,400
them and being brought up to the

2398
01:43:15,400 --> 01:43:16,400
front of an english class and seeing

2399
01:43:16,400 --> 01:43:18,400
all

2400
01:43:19,400 --> 01:43:20,400
the students attempt

2401
01:43:20,400 --> 01:43:22,400
to put into sentences certain slang

2402
01:43:22,400 --> 01:43:24,400
words. And

2403
01:43:25,400 --> 01:43:27,400
it was a

2404
01:43:28,400 --> 01:43:30,400
very fun experience. And I felt welcomed,

2405
01:43:30,400 --> 01:43:31,400
and it was an incredible bond. And I

2406
01:43:31,400 --> 01:43:33,400
still am in

2407
01:43:33,400 --> 01:43:34,400
contact with some of the students

2408
01:43:34,400 --> 01:43:36,400
today. So

2409
01:43:36,400 --> 01:43:40,400
it was amazing, and I'm truly grateful

2410
01:43:40,400 --> 01:43:42,400
to have such

2411
01:43:43,400 --> 01:43:44,400
an amazing

2412
01:43:44,400 --> 01:43:45,400
experience.

2413
01:43:45,400 --> 01:43:46,400
>> thank you. Welcome. >>

2414
01:43:46,400 --> 01:43:47,400
hi, my name is

2415
01:43:47,400 --> 01:43:49,400
ethan, I'm a senior at wilcox high school. So

2416
01:43:49,400 --> 01:43:51,400
during our free

2417
01:43:51,400 --> 01:43:52,400
time, which was outside of, like,

2418
01:43:52,400 --> 01:43:53,400
the scheduled

2419
01:43:53,400 --> 01:43:55,400
planning times, our host families would

2420
01:43:55,400 --> 01:43:56,400
take us around izumo

2421
01:43:56,400 --> 01:43:58,400
and even the surrounding area. And

2422
01:43:58,400 --> 01:44:00,400
then we

2423
01:44:00,400 --> 01:44:04,400
would also spend time with the students

2424
01:44:04,400 --> 01:44:06,400
and even

2425
01:44:06,400 --> 01:44:07,400
other students from america. So we

2426
01:44:07,400 --> 01:44:09,400
visited

2427
01:44:10,400 --> 01:44:12,400
karaoke there. We went to

2428
01:44:12,400 --> 01:44:13,400
local restaurants. We went to gardens. And

2429
01:44:13,400 --> 01:44:15,400
we

2430
01:44:16,400 --> 01:44:17,400
even saw a

2431
01:44:17,400 --> 01:44:19,400
japanese national treasure, which

2432
01:44:19,400 --> 01:44:20,400
is matsui castle at the bottom there. And

2433
01:44:20,400 --> 01:44:22,400
I thought it was really cool experience

2434
01:44:22,400 --> 01:44:24,400
just for

2435
01:44:25,400 --> 01:44:26,400
us to see just the local

2436
01:44:26,400 --> 01:44:28,400
area. Because it's a more rural city,

2437
01:44:28,400 --> 01:44:30,400
there's a lot of greenery. So

2438
01:44:30,400 --> 01:44:31,400
just going around the area was really

2439
01:44:31,400 --> 01:44:32,400
beautiful. There's

2440
01:44:32,400 --> 01:44:34,400
mountains right next to the ocean. There's

2441
01:44:34,400 --> 01:44:35,400
a lot of trees. There's

2442
01:44:35,400 --> 01:44:36,400
rice fields. So it's things like that,

2443
01:44:36,400 --> 01:44:37,400
it's very different scenery from what

2444
01:44:37,400 --> 01:44:39,400
we

2445
01:44:39,400 --> 01:44:40,400
have here in santa clara. I just thought

2446
01:44:40,400 --> 01:44:42,400
it was a

2447
01:44:43,400 --> 01:44:45,400
really unique,

2448
01:44:46,400 --> 01:44:49,400
cool experience for us to

2449
01:44:49,400 --> 01:44:51,800
have. Thank you so

2450
01:44:52,400 --> 01:44:53,400
much for your time.

2451
01:44:53,400 --> 01:44:55,400
>> love it. Thank

2452
01:44:58,400 --> 01:44:59,400
you. Thank you.

2453
01:44:59,400 --> 01:45:01,400
>> [ applause ]

2454
01:45:01,400 --> 01:45:03,400
>> I'd like all of you to join us up

2455
01:45:03,400 --> 01:45:04,400
here for a photo, and also you as

2456
01:45:04,400 --> 01:45:05,400
well if

2457
01:45:05,400 --> 01:45:07,400
you'd like to come forward. Many of

2458
01:45:07,400 --> 01:45:09,400
us here have

2459
01:45:10,400 --> 01:45:12,400
been to izumo,

2460
01:45:13,400 --> 01:45:15,400
and what a

2461
01:45:15,400 --> 01:45:16,400
wonderful, wonderful city. The people,

2462
01:45:16,400 --> 01:45:18,400
they're

2463
01:45:18,400 --> 01:45:19,400
so gracious and kind. I'm glad you

2464
01:45:19,400 --> 01:45:21,400
are

2465
01:45:25,400 --> 01:45:29,000
all able to experience that, so.

2466
01:46:52,400 --> 01:46:54,400
>> [ applause ]

2467
01:47:28,400 --> 01:47:30,400
>>

2468
01:47:31,400 --> 01:47:34,400
raj, you wanted to say

2469
01:47:34,400 --> 01:47:35,400
something quickly?

2470
01:47:35,400 --> 01:47:36,400
>> thank you, mayor. Thank

2471
01:47:36,400 --> 01:47:37,400
you

2472
01:47:37,400 --> 01:47:39,400
to santa clara sister cities for

2473
01:47:39,400 --> 01:47:40,400
arranging this thing. The team is wonderful,

2474
01:47:40,400 --> 01:47:42,400
and thank

2475
01:47:43,400 --> 01:47:46,400
you to kevin park for

2476
01:47:46,400 --> 01:47:48,800
reenergizing the icheon friendship

2477
01:47:49,400 --> 01:47:51,400
city relationship. And I've been to

2478
01:47:51,400 --> 01:47:52,400
izumo three times. When you all come

2479
01:47:52,400 --> 01:47:54,400
here, it reminds

2480
01:47:55,400 --> 01:47:57,400
me of my time over

2481
01:47:57,400 --> 01:47:58,400
there, hospitality, and what a wonderful

2482
01:47:58,400 --> 01:48:00,400
time. Like one

2483
01:48:01,400 --> 01:48:02,400
of the students said, stranger to

2484
01:48:02,400 --> 01:48:04,400
friend. I was

2485
01:48:04,400 --> 01:48:06,400
a

2486
01:48:06,400 --> 01:48:07,400
stranger to lifetime friend. That's

2487
01:48:07,400 --> 01:48:09,400
what izumo stands

2488
01:48:09,400 --> 01:48:10,400
for basically. And hospitality has

2489
01:48:10,400 --> 01:48:13,400
no language barriers. We may not

2490
01:48:13,400 --> 01:48:15,400
know anything

2491
01:48:16,400 --> 01:48:18,400
about

2492
01:48:18,400 --> 01:48:20,400
japanese, but it's so nice that people

2493
01:48:20,400 --> 01:48:21,400
are nice and

2494
01:48:21,400 --> 01:48:23,400
hospitable. And one thing I want to

2495
01:48:23,400 --> 01:48:25,400
say

2496
01:48:26,400 --> 01:48:28,400
to people

2497
01:48:29,400 --> 01:48:31,400
who are watching in izumo --

2498
01:48:31,400 --> 01:48:32,400
just celebrated his birthday, so happy

2499
01:48:32,400 --> 01:48:33,400
birthday.

2500
01:48:33,400 --> 01:48:34,400
>> thank you. We're

2501
01:48:34,400 --> 01:48:35,400
going to go on to our next special

2502
01:48:35,400 --> 01:48:37,800
order of business, which

2503
01:48:38,400 --> 01:48:41,400
is the impact of federal

2504
01:48:41,400 --> 01:48:43,400
budget cuts and the county's

2505
01:48:43,400 --> 01:48:44,400
response. So this is our final item. It's

2506
01:48:44,400 --> 01:48:45,400
a presentation from the

2507
01:48:45,400 --> 01:48:47,400
county of santa clara on the impact

2508
01:48:47,400 --> 01:48:49,400
of federal

2509
01:48:49,400 --> 01:48:52,400
budget cuts and the county's response. Brian,

2510
01:48:52,400 --> 01:48:53,400
you're brian?

2511
01:48:53,400 --> 01:48:54,400
>> I am brian. >> brian

2512
01:48:54,400 --> 01:48:55,400
derek,

2513
01:48:55,400 --> 01:48:56,400
good, we have the right person, special

2514
01:48:56,400 --> 01:48:58,400
assistant

2515
01:48:59,400 --> 01:49:01,400
to the county

2516
01:49:02,400 --> 01:49:04,400
executive, county

2517
01:49:04,400 --> 01:49:05,400
of santa clara, whenever you're ready.

2518
01:49:05,400 --> 01:49:07,400
>>

2519
01:49:08,400 --> 01:49:10,400
first just good

2520
01:49:11,400 --> 01:49:12,400
evening, mayor gillmor

2521
01:49:12,400 --> 01:49:13,400
and city council, a lot of gratitude

2522
01:49:13,400 --> 01:49:15,400
for allowing us to come in. I just

2523
01:49:15,400 --> 01:49:17,400
wanted to thank the city manager and

2524
01:49:17,400 --> 01:49:19,400
his team

2525
01:49:20,400 --> 01:49:22,400
as

2526
01:49:22,400 --> 01:49:23,400
well for inviting us in. Supervisor

2527
01:49:23,400 --> 01:49:25,400
ellenburg

2528
01:49:25,400 --> 01:49:26,400
wanted to be here tonight, but she's

2529
01:49:26,400 --> 01:49:28,400
celebrating

2530
01:49:28,400 --> 01:49:29,400
the jewish high holiday, so she sends

2531
01:49:29,400 --> 01:49:31,400
her regards. I wanted to pass that along. I

2532
01:49:31,400 --> 01:49:33,400
am here to talk about the impact of the

2533
01:49:33,400 --> 01:49:35,400
recent federal budget cuts from hr1,

2534
01:49:35,400 --> 01:49:38,400
what they mean for our

2535
01:49:38,400 --> 01:49:39,400
community, and also what they

2536
01:49:39,400 --> 01:49:41,400
mean for our county-operated healthcare

2537
01:49:41,400 --> 01:49:43,800
delivery system and how

2538
01:49:44,400 --> 01:49:46,800
the county is trying

2539
01:49:47,400 --> 01:49:50,400
to respond to those cuts. So I'm sure

2540
01:49:50,400 --> 01:49:51,400
the council is

2541
01:49:51,400 --> 01:49:53,400
aware but in july, hr1, the big beautiful bill act,

2542
01:49:53,400 --> 01:49:55,400
was signed into law

2543
01:49:55,400 --> 01:49:56,400
by the president on july 4th. The

2544
01:49:56,400 --> 01:49:58,400
law enacts

2545
01:49:59,400 --> 01:50:02,400
the largest cuts in the 60-year history

2546
01:50:02,400 --> 01:50:03,400
of the medicaid program known

2547
01:50:03,400 --> 01:50:05,400
as medi-cal in california, and the largest

2548
01:50:05,400 --> 01:50:07,800
ever cuts to snap,

2549
01:50:08,400 --> 01:50:10,400
which is

2550
01:50:10,400 --> 01:50:11,400
known as calfresh in california. And

2551
01:50:11,400 --> 01:50:13,800
medicaid, for folks who

2552
01:50:14,400 --> 01:50:16,800
don't know, that is

2553
01:50:17,400 --> 01:50:18,400
a vital safety

2554
01:50:18,400 --> 01:50:20,400
net program that provides programs

2555
01:50:20,400 --> 01:50:22,400
for foster youth,

2556
01:50:22,400 --> 01:50:23,400
pregnant women, and many seniors as

2557
01:50:23,400 --> 01:50:25,400
well. So it's a

2558
01:50:25,400 --> 01:50:26,400
program for our vulnerable communities. One

2559
01:50:26,400 --> 01:50:28,800
in five americans --

2560
01:50:29,400 --> 01:50:32,400
so these are national numbers

2561
01:50:32,400 --> 01:50:34,400
--rely on medicaid for

2562
01:50:34,400 --> 01:50:37,400
their health insurance. It's about

2563
01:50:37,400 --> 01:50:38,400
1 in 2 children. As far as food assistance, the

2564
01:50:38,400 --> 01:50:39,400
snap program, it's

2565
01:50:39,400 --> 01:50:41,400
1 in 4 children in the united states

2566
01:50:41,400 --> 01:50:43,400
who rely on

2567
01:50:43,400 --> 01:50:44,400
that program. So hr1 does hit those

2568
01:50:44,400 --> 01:50:46,400
residents locally

2569
01:50:46,400 --> 01:50:47,400
who rely on medi-cal and calfresh the hardest,

2570
01:50:47,400 --> 01:50:49,400
but I want

2571
01:50:50,400 --> 01:50:51,400
to be really clear that it affects

2572
01:50:51,400 --> 01:50:52,400
all residents

2573
01:50:52,400 --> 01:50:53,400
in our community, since any of us

2574
01:50:53,400 --> 01:50:55,400
may need

2575
01:50:55,400 --> 01:50:56,400
emergency care or trauma services

2576
01:50:56,400 --> 01:50:58,400
or other

2577
01:50:59,400 --> 01:51:01,400
critical care from a county hospital. I'll

2578
01:51:01,400 --> 01:51:02,400
explain why this law really affects

2579
01:51:02,400 --> 01:51:04,400
our county health system

2580
01:51:04,400 --> 01:51:05,400
in the slides to come. So I wanted

2581
01:51:05,400 --> 01:51:07,400
to provide

2582
01:51:08,400 --> 01:51:10,400
a little

2583
01:51:11,400 --> 01:51:12,400
bit of local data. In santa clara

2584
01:51:12,400 --> 01:51:14,400
county, 465,000

2585
01:51:14,400 --> 01:51:15,400
of our neighbors rely on medi-cal

2586
01:51:15,400 --> 01:51:16,400
for their

2587
01:51:16,400 --> 01:51:17,400
insurance. It's about 133,000 who

2588
01:51:17,400 --> 01:51:20,400
rely on calfresh. There's local numbers

2589
01:51:20,400 --> 01:51:22,400
for the city of santa

2590
01:51:22,400 --> 01:51:23,400
clara, it's about 1 in 6 residents

2591
01:51:23,400 --> 01:51:25,400
rely

2592
01:51:26,400 --> 01:51:29,400
on medi-cal. I believe it's

2593
01:51:29,400 --> 01:51:30,400
about 22,000 folks and about

2594
01:51:30,400 --> 01:51:32,400
5,500 folks rely on calfresh. I won't

2595
01:51:32,400 --> 01:51:34,400
go into all

2596
01:51:35,400 --> 01:51:36,400
the chains associated with hr1, although

2597
01:51:36,400 --> 01:51:37,400
I'm

2598
01:51:37,400 --> 01:51:38,400
happy to if folks want to talk about that, but

2599
01:51:38,400 --> 01:51:40,800
the key things the

2600
01:51:41,400 --> 01:51:42,400
new law does, particularly from the county's

2601
01:51:42,400 --> 01:51:44,400
perspective is very

2602
01:51:44,400 --> 01:51:47,400
deep cuts to medi-cal in two

2603
01:51:47,400 --> 01:51:49,400
ways. The first way is it enacts

2604
01:51:49,400 --> 01:51:50,400
major eligibility changes that will

2605
01:51:50,400 --> 01:51:53,400
have the effect of pushing

2606
01:51:53,400 --> 01:51:54,400
many

2607
01:51:54,400 --> 01:51:56,400
medi-cal recipients off of coverage. You

2608
01:51:56,400 --> 01:51:57,400
may have heard of the

2609
01:51:57,400 --> 01:51:59,400
new work reporting requirements that adults

2610
01:51:59,400 --> 01:52:01,400
will be required to meet,

2611
01:52:01,400 --> 01:52:02,400
and there's also an increase with

2612
01:52:02,400 --> 01:52:04,800
the frequency you have

2613
01:52:05,400 --> 01:52:07,400
to prove you're eligible. Every six months

2614
01:52:07,400 --> 01:52:08,400
folks will have to prove they're still

2615
01:52:08,400 --> 01:52:10,400
eligible for the

2616
01:52:10,400 --> 01:52:11,400
program. It's been an annual renewal

2617
01:52:11,400 --> 01:52:13,400
process in the past. The second way

2618
01:52:13,400 --> 01:52:14,400
directs are coming down on us is direct

2619
01:52:14,400 --> 01:52:16,400
cuts to payments

2620
01:52:16,400 --> 01:52:17,400
that come to medicaid providers so. Providers

2621
01:52:17,400 --> 01:52:19,400
like

2622
01:52:20,400 --> 01:52:23,400
the public hospital system that

2623
01:52:23,400 --> 01:52:25,400
disproportionately provide care

2624
01:52:25,400 --> 01:52:26,400
to medi-cal recipients. The base medi-cal

2625
01:52:26,400 --> 01:52:28,400
program doesn't fully

2626
01:52:29,400 --> 01:52:31,400
cover the cost of care. So

2627
01:52:31,400 --> 01:52:32,400
the county has relied on supplemental

2628
01:52:32,400 --> 01:52:33,400
payments. Those are usually

2629
01:52:33,400 --> 01:52:35,400
tied to quality. We've aggressively

2630
01:52:35,400 --> 01:52:38,400
gone after those payments, which have

2631
01:52:38,400 --> 01:52:40,400
helped cover some

2632
01:52:41,400 --> 01:52:44,400
of that cost. Those programs are being

2633
01:52:44,400 --> 01:52:46,400
frozen and smacked down

2634
01:52:46,400 --> 01:52:47,400
aggressively. That's becoming our

2635
01:52:47,400 --> 01:52:50,400
weakness now and vulnerability. Just to

2636
01:52:50,400 --> 01:52:53,400
sum up in terms of the way this is hitting

2637
01:52:53,400 --> 01:52:54,400
the public hospital systems, it's twofold. As

2638
01:52:54,400 --> 01:52:55,400
thousands

2639
01:52:55,400 --> 01:52:57,400
of our residents lose their coverage,

2640
01:52:57,400 --> 01:52:59,400
those individuals will continue

2641
01:52:59,400 --> 01:53:00,400
to need care. They just won't receive

2642
01:53:00,400 --> 01:53:02,400
the

2643
01:53:02,400 --> 01:53:03,400
care through preventive care and points. They will

2644
01:53:03,400 --> 01:53:04,400
come

2645
01:53:04,400 --> 01:53:06,400
in with deep end services. So more

2646
01:53:06,400 --> 01:53:07,400
points, you know, more

2647
01:53:07,400 --> 01:53:09,400
showing up at the emergency department

2648
01:53:09,400 --> 01:53:10,400
and other forms of

2649
01:53:10,400 --> 01:53:12,400
care, and they won't have a revenue

2650
01:53:12,400 --> 01:53:13,400
stream tied to them. There'll

2651
01:53:13,400 --> 01:53:15,400
be no compensation for folks who provide

2652
01:53:15,400 --> 01:53:16,400
the care. And then

2653
01:53:16,400 --> 01:53:18,400
again, on top of that, there's these

2654
01:53:18,400 --> 01:53:20,400
cuts to the

2655
01:53:20,400 --> 01:53:23,400
direct payments that go to medicaid

2656
01:53:23,400 --> 01:53:25,400
providers, including the hospital

2657
01:53:25,400 --> 01:53:26,400
system. The calfresh cuts, just quickly,

2658
01:53:26,400 --> 01:53:27,400
there is additional administrative

2659
01:53:27,400 --> 01:53:28,400
costs

2660
01:53:28,400 --> 01:53:30,400
that are being passed along to states

2661
01:53:30,400 --> 01:53:33,400
and also in a couple of, I think it's

2662
01:53:33,400 --> 01:53:35,400
a year and a half or

2663
01:53:35,400 --> 01:53:36,400
so, for the first time ever the actual

2664
01:53:36,400 --> 01:53:38,400
cost of

2665
01:53:38,400 --> 01:53:39,400
food assistance benefits will now

2666
01:53:39,400 --> 01:53:41,400
be shifted

2667
01:53:41,400 --> 01:53:42,400
partially to states. Because of the

2668
01:53:42,400 --> 01:53:43,400
state's fiscal situation,

2669
01:53:43,400 --> 01:53:45,400
we are concerned that those costs

2670
01:53:45,400 --> 01:53:46,400
will be passed

2671
01:53:46,400 --> 01:53:48,400
along to counties. That seems like a

2672
01:53:48,400 --> 01:53:51,400
very likely outcome. Or benefits

2673
01:53:51,400 --> 01:53:54,400
could be cut. So the state has

2674
01:53:54,400 --> 01:53:55,400
a real significant role in determining what

2675
01:53:55,400 --> 01:53:57,400
happens here. Just quickly wanted

2676
01:53:57,400 --> 01:53:59,400
to talk about the

2677
01:53:59,400 --> 01:54:00,400
magnitude of cuts. So medi-cal is

2678
01:54:00,400 --> 01:54:01,400
the county's

2679
01:54:01,400 --> 01:54:03,400
largest federal revenue source, and

2680
01:54:03,400 --> 01:54:05,400
it accounts for more than

2681
01:54:05,400 --> 01:54:06,400
half of our health system's revenue. And we expect --

2682
01:54:06,400 --> 01:54:08,400
I'll

2683
01:54:08,400 --> 01:54:09,400
show you the math in a minute -- but

2684
01:54:09,400 --> 01:54:10,400
more than a

2685
01:54:10,400 --> 01:54:12,400
billion dollars in lost revenue per

2686
01:54:12,400 --> 01:54:14,400
year. And to

2687
01:54:14,400 --> 01:54:15,400
put that in perspective, the county's

2688
01:54:15,400 --> 01:54:17,400
healthcare delivery

2689
01:54:17,400 --> 01:54:18,400
system, the entire annual budget is

2690
01:54:18,400 --> 01:54:20,400
$4.6

2691
01:54:21,400 --> 01:54:24,400
billion. So you can get a

2692
01:54:24,400 --> 01:54:27,400
sense, if you withdraw a billion dollars,

2693
01:54:27,400 --> 01:54:28,400
there are devastating cuts if we can't find

2694
01:54:28,400 --> 01:54:30,400
other solutions. These are --this

2695
01:54:30,400 --> 01:54:32,400
is the math,

2696
01:54:33,400 --> 01:54:34,400
the analysis that our

2697
01:54:34,400 --> 01:54:36,400
folks, our budget team did. The --

2698
01:54:36,400 --> 01:54:38,400
just to explain it a little

2699
01:54:38,400 --> 01:54:39,400
bit, this was based on the congressional

2700
01:54:39,400 --> 01:54:40,400
budget

2701
01:54:40,400 --> 01:54:42,400
office's projections as well as our

2702
01:54:42,400 --> 01:54:44,400
own internal knowledge

2703
01:54:44,400 --> 01:54:45,400
of how many folks are on medi-cal

2704
01:54:45,400 --> 01:54:47,400
currently and the people we

2705
01:54:47,400 --> 01:54:48,400
serve. You can see in the blue bars

2706
01:54:48,400 --> 01:54:50,400
there, those

2707
01:54:51,400 --> 01:54:54,400
are the cuts to calfresh, which

2708
01:54:54,400 --> 01:54:57,400
we anticipate could come to the

2709
01:54:57,400 --> 01:54:59,400
county. And then the

2710
01:54:59,400 --> 01:55:00,400
salmon-colored bars, those are all

2711
01:55:00,400 --> 01:55:01,400
hr1

2712
01:55:01,400 --> 01:55:03,400
related --hr1 and related cuts. Including

2713
01:55:03,400 --> 01:55:05,400
some cuts from the state

2714
01:55:05,400 --> 01:55:06,400
that you see actually accelerate all

2715
01:55:06,400 --> 01:55:08,400
the way to $1.3

2716
01:55:09,400 --> 01:55:11,400
billion in the

2717
01:55:15,400 --> 01:55:18,400
out years if nothing is done.

2718
01:55:18,400 --> 01:55:20,400
I did want to talk

2719
01:55:20,400 --> 01:55:21,400
a little bit about why our health

2720
01:55:21,400 --> 01:55:23,400
system

2721
01:55:24,400 --> 01:55:26,800
is an important resource

2722
01:55:27,400 --> 01:55:28,400
for the community. Santa clara county

2723
01:55:28,400 --> 01:55:30,400
healthcare operates four --so it's

2724
01:55:30,400 --> 01:55:32,400
the backbone of the

2725
01:55:32,400 --> 01:55:33,400
safety system but it's a critical

2726
01:55:33,400 --> 01:55:34,400
healthcare

2727
01:55:34,400 --> 01:55:36,400
service provider to all residents. I

2728
01:55:36,400 --> 01:55:38,800
think that's less well

2729
01:55:39,400 --> 01:55:41,400
known, but 1 in 4 residents are regular

2730
01:55:41,400 --> 01:55:42,400
utilizers of our system. We operate 2

2731
01:55:42,400 --> 01:55:44,400
of 3

2732
01:55:44,400 --> 01:55:45,400
trauma centers, with stanford being the

2733
01:55:45,400 --> 01:55:47,400
third. Serving a

2734
01:55:47,400 --> 01:55:48,400
lot of santa clara county residents

2735
01:55:48,400 --> 01:55:50,400
but also

2736
01:55:50,400 --> 01:55:51,400
san mateo residents. We handle about

2737
01:55:51,400 --> 01:55:53,400
80% of

2738
01:55:53,400 --> 01:55:54,400
all trauma cases originating within

2739
01:55:54,400 --> 01:55:55,400
this county. Half of

2740
01:55:55,400 --> 01:55:57,400
all 911 transports are taken to a

2741
01:55:57,400 --> 01:55:59,400
county hospital. So when an ambulance

2742
01:55:59,400 --> 01:56:00,400
is called from a 911 call and someone's taken

2743
01:56:00,400 --> 01:56:02,400
to a hospital, half the

2744
01:56:02,400 --> 01:56:03,400
time it's a county hospital. And that

2745
01:56:03,400 --> 01:56:05,400
is

2746
01:56:06,400 --> 01:56:08,800
every 11 minutes that that

2747
01:56:09,400 --> 01:56:12,400
happens. We are also the largest provider

2748
01:56:12,400 --> 01:56:13,400
now of medicare hospital services. So

2749
01:56:13,400 --> 01:56:14,400
again,

2750
01:56:14,400 --> 01:56:15,400
folks think of us as a system that serves a

2751
01:56:15,400 --> 01:56:16,400
lot

2752
01:56:16,400 --> 01:56:18,400
of medi-cal patients and uninsured

2753
01:56:18,400 --> 01:56:19,400
patients, we also serve the majority

2754
01:56:19,400 --> 01:56:21,400
--

2755
01:56:21,400 --> 01:56:24,400
or not a majority but a

2756
01:56:24,400 --> 01:56:25,400
plurality of medicare patients

2757
01:56:25,400 --> 01:56:27,400
through hospital services. We have

2758
01:56:27,400 --> 01:56:29,400
the top-ranked rehabilitation center

2759
01:56:29,400 --> 01:56:30,400
on the entire west coast. Seventh

2760
01:56:30,400 --> 01:56:32,400
ranked in

2761
01:56:33,400 --> 01:56:34,400
the country. And the only burn center slash trauma center

2762
01:56:34,400 --> 01:56:36,400
between here

2763
01:56:36,400 --> 01:56:39,400
--between los angeles and the oregon border. And

2764
01:56:39,400 --> 01:56:41,400
the only one in santa clara

2765
01:56:41,400 --> 01:56:42,400
county. We've received a number of

2766
01:56:42,400 --> 01:56:45,400
questions. The reason this slide

2767
01:56:45,400 --> 01:56:47,400
is here is because one question

2768
01:56:47,400 --> 01:56:48,400
we've received is why the county operates

2769
01:56:48,400 --> 01:56:50,400
four

2770
01:56:51,400 --> 01:56:52,400
hospitals and is that sustainable. So

2771
01:56:52,400 --> 01:56:54,400
you

2772
01:56:54,400 --> 01:56:55,400
may remember in 2019 the county was

2773
01:56:55,400 --> 01:56:56,400
the

2774
01:56:56,400 --> 01:56:57,400
only bidder when o'connor hospital

2775
01:56:57,400 --> 01:56:59,400
in saint louise went into bankruptcy. So

2776
01:56:59,400 --> 01:57:00,400
those two hospitals would have closed

2777
01:57:00,400 --> 01:57:02,400
if not for the county

2778
01:57:02,400 --> 01:57:03,400
purchasing them. And it was very fortunate we did. The

2779
01:57:03,400 --> 01:57:05,400
pandemic hit

2780
01:57:05,400 --> 01:57:06,400
the very next year. And you may recall

2781
01:57:06,400 --> 01:57:08,400
that we were stretched with

2782
01:57:08,400 --> 01:57:09,400
icu beds, and there were many days

2783
01:57:09,400 --> 01:57:11,400
where we

2784
01:57:12,400 --> 01:57:15,400
were really at capacity or even over capacity

2785
01:57:15,400 --> 01:57:17,400
at beds. So those beds have been critical. Then

2786
01:57:17,400 --> 01:57:18,400
in 2025, the county purchased regional

2787
01:57:18,400 --> 01:57:20,400
medical center,

2788
01:57:21,400 --> 01:57:24,400
so this year. And that occurred

2789
01:57:24,400 --> 01:57:25,400
because the former operator eliminated

2790
01:57:25,400 --> 01:57:26,400
their

2791
01:57:26,400 --> 01:57:27,400
level two trauma center. They eliminated

2792
01:57:27,400 --> 01:57:29,400
their care, which

2793
01:57:29,400 --> 01:57:30,400
is specialized heart attack services,

2794
01:57:30,400 --> 01:57:32,400
and they downgraded their stroke

2795
01:57:32,400 --> 01:57:33,400
services so. The reason that the county

2796
01:57:33,400 --> 01:57:35,400
owns

2797
01:57:35,400 --> 01:57:36,400
those three additional hospitals in each

2798
01:57:36,400 --> 01:57:39,400
case is --was to avoid

2799
01:57:39,400 --> 01:57:41,400
the closure of a hospital or to

2800
01:57:41,400 --> 01:57:42,400
reverse the termination of critical

2801
01:57:42,400 --> 01:57:45,400
lines of service. And in the

2802
01:57:45,400 --> 01:57:48,400
case of regional, we did restore

2803
01:57:48,400 --> 01:57:50,400
those services, the trauma

2804
01:57:50,400 --> 01:57:51,400
centers back online, stemi care's

2805
01:57:51,400 --> 01:57:53,400
back

2806
01:57:53,400 --> 01:57:54,400
online, and we're hoping to open maternity

2807
01:57:54,400 --> 01:57:56,400
care in october, which was cut

2808
01:57:56,400 --> 01:57:57,400
in 2020. That's the reason we own

2809
01:57:57,400 --> 01:57:59,400
those hospitals. It has been

2810
01:57:59,400 --> 01:58:00,400
sustainable under the prior business model

2811
01:58:00,400 --> 01:58:02,400
to operate these

2812
01:58:02,400 --> 01:58:03,400
hospitals, and it's really just due

2813
01:58:03,400 --> 01:58:05,400
to

2814
01:58:06,400 --> 01:58:12,400
hr1 that the sustainability of those systems are under threat.

2815
01:58:31,400 --> 01:58:33,400
>> I

2816
01:58:34,400 --> 01:58:37,400
did want to highlight that the

2817
01:58:37,400 --> 01:58:39,400
county actually

2818
01:58:40,400 --> 01:58:42,400
has very limited

2819
01:58:43,400 --> 01:58:45,400
resources. 20% is discretionary

2820
01:58:46,400 --> 01:58:49,400
funding. A lot of that provides

2821
01:58:49,400 --> 01:58:51,400
mandated safety

2822
01:58:52,400 --> 01:58:54,800
services. The limited things

2823
01:58:55,400 --> 01:58:57,400
we spend both medical revenue,

2824
01:58:57,400 --> 01:58:58,400
health care, public safety. Those

2825
01:58:58,400 --> 01:59:03,200
are the services that are most at risk.

2826
01:59:04,400 --> 01:59:06,400
it is

2827
01:59:07,400 --> 01:59:10,400
the city of santa clara.

2828
01:59:10,400 --> 01:59:12,400
I

2829
01:59:13,400 --> 01:59:15,400
mentioned

2830
01:59:16,400 --> 01:59:18,400
some

2831
01:59:19,400 --> 01:59:21,400
of the

2832
01:59:22,400 --> 01:59:24,400
medical

2833
01:59:25,400 --> 01:59:26,400
numbers. 20,000 residents receive

2834
01:59:26,400 --> 01:59:28,400
care. Those are annual numbers

2835
01:59:28,400 --> 01:59:30,400
in terms of use

2836
01:59:30,400 --> 01:59:31,400
of our system. But the emergency care

2837
01:59:31,400 --> 01:59:33,400
section

2838
01:59:34,400 --> 01:59:36,400
is really

2839
01:59:37,400 --> 01:59:38,400
the most

2840
01:59:38,400 --> 01:59:40,400
important section. 90% of trauma cases

2841
01:59:40,400 --> 01:59:42,400
are

2842
01:59:43,400 --> 01:59:45,400
taken

2843
01:59:49,400 --> 01:59:50,400
to a county hospital. Any time you

2844
01:59:50,400 --> 01:59:51,400
call

2845
01:59:51,400 --> 01:59:52,400
and someone needs an ambulance, 41%

2846
01:59:52,400 --> 01:59:54,400
of the time taken

2847
01:59:54,400 --> 01:59:55,400
to a county hospital. What is not

2848
01:59:55,400 --> 01:59:58,400
is well known is the extent

2849
01:59:58,400 --> 01:59:59,400
to which this community relies on

2850
01:59:59,400 --> 02:00:01,400
o'connor for those

2851
02:00:01,400 --> 02:00:02,400
calls so there is no hospital that

2852
02:00:02,400 --> 02:00:04,400
is

2853
02:00:05,400 --> 02:00:06,400
more commonly utilized when

2854
02:00:06,400 --> 02:00:08,400
a 911 call happens and someone needs

2855
02:00:08,400 --> 02:00:11,400
to be taken to a hospital. In

2856
02:00:11,400 --> 02:00:14,400
fact, it is between four and

2857
02:00:14,400 --> 02:00:16,400
five individuals

2858
02:00:16,400 --> 02:00:17,400
every day who are transported. I talked

2859
02:00:17,400 --> 02:00:19,400
to a lot

2860
02:00:19,400 --> 02:00:20,400
of different people and folks have

2861
02:00:20,400 --> 02:00:21,400
many,

2862
02:00:21,400 --> 02:00:23,400
many questions and one of the things

2863
02:00:23,400 --> 02:00:25,400
I haven be asked

2864
02:00:25,400 --> 02:00:26,400
several times, why can't you just

2865
02:00:26,400 --> 02:00:27,400
close

2866
02:00:27,400 --> 02:00:29,400
o'connor. It is only a mile-and-a-half

2867
02:00:29,400 --> 02:00:31,800
away. Why not close

2868
02:00:32,400 --> 02:00:34,400
that

2869
02:00:35,400 --> 02:00:38,400
hospital and people can go. I think what

2870
02:00:38,400 --> 02:00:41,400
a lot of people don't realize

2871
02:00:41,400 --> 02:00:43,400
is o'connor is

2872
02:00:44,400 --> 02:00:46,400
busy. 170,

2873
02:00:47,400 --> 02:00:48,400
the

2874
02:00:48,400 --> 02:00:50,400
day lay census. 170 folks every day. It

2875
02:00:50,400 --> 02:00:52,400
is down the street. That is a

2876
02:00:52,400 --> 02:00:53,400
small emergency department. It is

2877
02:00:53,400 --> 02:00:55,400
a very busy

2878
02:00:56,400 --> 02:00:57,400
emergency department. And if

2879
02:00:57,400 --> 02:00:59,400
o'connor were to close, they could

2880
02:00:59,400 --> 02:01:01,400
not absorb the impact. There would

2881
02:01:01,400 --> 02:01:03,400
be much lodger wait times. Other hospitals

2882
02:01:03,400 --> 02:01:05,400
would be significantly impacted so,

2883
02:01:05,400 --> 02:01:07,400
the county

2884
02:01:08,400 --> 02:01:10,400
does not

2885
02:01:11,400 --> 02:01:13,400
want

2886
02:01:17,400 --> 02:01:19,800
o'connor hospital to close.

2887
02:01:26,400 --> 02:01:28,400
with the scale of the crisis we are

2888
02:01:28,400 --> 02:01:30,400
facing we cannot rely on one, two,

2889
02:01:30,400 --> 02:01:32,400
or even three solutions. We need a

2890
02:01:32,400 --> 02:01:33,400
multitude

2891
02:01:33,400 --> 02:01:35,400
of things happening in parallel. We

2892
02:01:35,400 --> 02:01:36,400
have three big

2893
02:01:36,400 --> 02:01:38,400
pillars of different strategies we

2894
02:01:38,400 --> 02:01:40,400
are working on, the

2895
02:01:40,400 --> 02:01:43,400
first is reducing costs. And, increasing

2896
02:01:43,400 --> 02:01:44,400
efficiency within our own organization. The

2897
02:01:44,400 --> 02:01:47,400
second is seeking state support

2898
02:01:47,400 --> 02:01:49,400
and the third is

2899
02:01:49,400 --> 02:01:50,400
pursuing local options. I want to

2900
02:01:50,400 --> 02:01:52,400
talk about

2901
02:01:53,400 --> 02:01:55,400
each

2902
02:01:55,400 --> 02:01:56,400
of the three quickly. We have had

2903
02:01:56,400 --> 02:01:57,400
our

2904
02:01:57,400 --> 02:01:59,400
own local budget deficits. Not massive but

2905
02:01:59,400 --> 02:02:01,400
we have had

2906
02:02:01,400 --> 02:02:02,400
to deal with different budget deficits. So,

2907
02:02:02,400 --> 02:02:04,400
we have implemented

2908
02:02:05,400 --> 02:02:07,400
a

2909
02:02:08,400 --> 02:02:09,400
number of operational efficiencies. We had

2910
02:02:09,400 --> 02:02:11,400
a soft

2911
02:02:11,400 --> 02:02:13,400
hiring freeze expanded

2912
02:02:14,400 --> 02:02:16,400
to a harder

2913
02:02:17,400 --> 02:02:19,400
hiring freeze. We

2914
02:02:20,400 --> 02:02:23,400
had to eliminate 800 positions. Through

2915
02:02:23,400 --> 02:02:26,400
cost recovery and fees. We are really

2916
02:02:26,400 --> 02:02:29,400
doing a lot in terms of

2917
02:02:29,400 --> 02:02:31,400
trying

2918
02:02:32,400 --> 02:02:34,400
to

2919
02:02:34,400 --> 02:02:35,400
align our managed care. There are

2920
02:02:35,400 --> 02:02:36,400
some opportunities for efficiencies

2921
02:02:36,400 --> 02:02:38,400
there. So

2922
02:02:38,400 --> 02:02:40,800
we dived into that

2923
02:02:41,400 --> 02:02:43,800
work. There are many

2924
02:02:44,400 --> 02:02:46,400
initiatives trying to act on. Whether

2925
02:02:46,400 --> 02:02:47,400
measure a passes or if there is state

2926
02:02:47,400 --> 02:02:48,400
health or not, no

2927
02:02:48,400 --> 02:02:50,400
matter what, the size of the deficit

2928
02:02:50,400 --> 02:02:52,400
we are facing we are absolutely

2929
02:02:52,400 --> 02:02:53,400
going to have to make very significant

2930
02:02:53,400 --> 02:02:54,400
changes within

2931
02:02:54,400 --> 02:02:56,400
our county organization. And probably

2932
02:02:56,400 --> 02:02:57,400
pretty significant cuts as well. It

2933
02:02:57,400 --> 02:02:59,400
is

2934
02:02:59,400 --> 02:03:02,400
just a matter of how deep we

2935
02:03:02,400 --> 02:03:03,400
are going to have to cut. Just

2936
02:03:03,400 --> 02:03:05,400
a couple more slides. Our second main

2937
02:03:05,400 --> 02:03:07,400
strategy, the state will play a

2938
02:03:07,400 --> 02:03:08,400
critical role in determining what

2939
02:03:08,400 --> 02:03:10,400
happens with mitigating

2940
02:03:11,400 --> 02:03:12,400
these cuts coming from the federal

2941
02:03:12,400 --> 02:03:14,400
government. I

2942
02:03:14,400 --> 02:03:16,800
mentioned how cal fresh

2943
02:03:17,400 --> 02:03:19,400
cuts could come

2944
02:03:20,400 --> 02:03:23,400
our way. But it is important

2945
02:03:23,400 --> 02:03:24,400
to note the state has vested interest

2946
02:03:24,400 --> 02:03:26,400
in these

2947
02:03:26,400 --> 02:03:27,400
hospitals. It is only 6% of hospitals

2948
02:03:27,400 --> 02:03:29,400
across the state. Public hospitals

2949
02:03:29,400 --> 02:03:31,400
make

2950
02:03:32,400 --> 02:03:34,400
50%

2951
02:03:35,400 --> 02:03:37,800
of all trauma centers.

2952
02:03:47,400 --> 02:03:48,400
we are trying to figure

2953
02:03:48,400 --> 02:03:50,400
out some mitigations. Asking our local

2954
02:03:50,400 --> 02:03:52,400
community to consider

2955
02:03:52,400 --> 02:03:53,400
a local revenue option. That is the

2956
02:03:53,400 --> 02:03:55,400
action our board

2957
02:03:56,400 --> 02:03:57,400
of supervisors took placing

2958
02:03:57,400 --> 02:03:59,400
an emergency temporary 58-cent sales

2959
02:03:59,400 --> 02:04:01,400
tax on

2960
02:04:02,400 --> 02:04:05,400
the november ballot. You may know

2961
02:04:05,400 --> 02:04:07,400
this, but the county has limited

2962
02:04:07,400 --> 02:04:08,400
options for revenue measures they

2963
02:04:08,400 --> 02:04:10,400
can bring forward. Charter

2964
02:04:10,400 --> 02:04:11,400
cities can bring forward anything

2965
02:04:11,400 --> 02:04:13,400
that the city has prohibited

2966
02:04:13,400 --> 02:04:14,400
them from asking voters to vote on

2967
02:04:14,400 --> 02:04:17,400
in terms of revenue. The county

2968
02:04:17,400 --> 02:04:19,400
is the reverse. If the state

2969
02:04:19,400 --> 02:04:20,400
hasn't affirmatively granted the county

2970
02:04:20,400 --> 02:04:22,400
the ability, the authority to do

2971
02:04:22,400 --> 02:04:23,400
a certain revenue measure, we are

2972
02:04:23,400 --> 02:04:25,400
not allowed to

2973
02:04:26,400 --> 02:04:28,800
do that. We are

2974
02:04:29,400 --> 02:04:31,400
essentially subdivisions

2975
02:04:31,400 --> 02:04:32,400
of the state. We have authority, special authority

2976
02:04:32,400 --> 02:04:35,400
related to sales tax which

2977
02:04:35,400 --> 02:04:38,400
is why this was proposed

2978
02:04:38,400 --> 02:04:40,400
as a 58

2979
02:04:40,400 --> 02:04:42,400
cents sales tax. It is carved out

2980
02:04:42,400 --> 02:04:44,400
from the local

2981
02:04:44,400 --> 02:04:45,400
2% cap that this measure does not

2982
02:04:45,400 --> 02:04:47,400
affect local jurisdictions ability

2983
02:04:47,400 --> 02:04:49,400
to place anything on the ballot for

2984
02:04:49,400 --> 02:04:50,400
themselves. I think folks know there

2985
02:04:50,400 --> 02:04:54,400
is a 2% cap for local sales taxes. This

2986
02:04:54,400 --> 02:04:57,400
is carved out from that. We have

2987
02:04:57,400 --> 02:04:59,400
gotten

2988
02:05:00,400 --> 02:05:03,400
that question a little. A

2989
02:05:03,400 --> 02:05:05,800
common question question received

2990
02:05:06,400 --> 02:05:08,400
is

2991
02:05:12,400 --> 02:05:14,800
aren't sales taxes regressive.

2992
02:05:15,400 --> 02:05:16,400
I did want to

2993
02:05:16,400 --> 02:05:18,400
highlight the essential expenditures

2994
02:05:18,400 --> 02:05:20,400
that a low income family

2995
02:05:20,400 --> 02:05:23,400
and all families need to spend money

2996
02:05:23,400 --> 02:05:24,400
on. Rent, child care, groceries. Utilities. They are

2997
02:05:24,400 --> 02:05:26,400
all not

2998
02:05:26,400 --> 02:05:28,400
taxed in terms of sales tax. And of

2999
02:05:28,400 --> 02:05:30,400
course, lower income community members

3000
02:05:30,400 --> 02:05:31,400
are the hardest hit in most

3001
02:05:31,400 --> 02:05:35,600
in need of county services so most

3002
02:05:36,400 --> 02:05:38,400
at risk from the

3003
02:05:38,400 --> 02:05:39,400
hr1. This is my last slide. The I

3004
02:05:39,400 --> 02:05:41,400
won't

3005
02:05:41,400 --> 02:05:42,400
read through it. I just want to say

3006
02:05:42,400 --> 02:05:44,400
we are

3007
02:05:44,400 --> 02:05:45,400
facing a true health care emergency. And

3008
02:05:45,400 --> 02:05:47,400
the question

3009
02:05:47,400 --> 02:05:48,400
of if this is an emergency or not

3010
02:05:48,400 --> 02:05:50,400
is litigated in

3011
02:05:51,400 --> 02:05:53,400
court

3012
02:05:53,400 --> 02:05:55,400
recently. There was a petition. There

3013
02:05:55,400 --> 02:05:57,400
was a petitioner who challenged measure 8

3014
02:05:57,400 --> 02:05:59,400
being

3015
02:06:03,400 --> 02:06:05,800
put on the ballot.

3016
02:06:08,400 --> 02:06:09,400
they agreed this is a crisis situation. This

3017
02:06:09,400 --> 02:06:10,400
is

3018
02:06:10,400 --> 02:06:12,400
where we are at. I really wanted to

3019
02:06:12,400 --> 02:06:14,400
leave folks kind of one of

3020
02:06:14,400 --> 02:06:15,400
the most important things I think

3021
02:06:15,400 --> 02:06:16,400
can be a misnomer

3022
02:06:16,400 --> 02:06:18,400
the kinds of cuts that came down. I

3023
02:06:18,400 --> 02:06:21,400
want to leave folks with

3024
02:06:21,400 --> 02:06:23,400
one fact which is

3025
02:06:23,400 --> 02:06:25,400
everyone's care is at risk. A point

3026
02:06:25,400 --> 02:06:27,400
I was making earlier, regardless of

3027
02:06:27,400 --> 02:06:28,400
what insurance you have if

3028
02:06:28,400 --> 02:06:30,800
emergency departments are closing,

3029
02:06:33,400 --> 02:06:35,400
if trauma

3030
02:06:36,400 --> 02:06:38,400
centers are closing, that impacts

3031
02:06:38,400 --> 02:06:39,400
your timelyless to care and those

3032
02:06:39,400 --> 02:06:41,400
minutes really

3033
02:06:41,400 --> 02:06:42,400
matter. The perspective we have here

3034
02:06:42,400 --> 02:06:44,400
is that

3035
02:06:45,400 --> 02:06:46,400
once hr1 passed we really were

3036
02:06:46,400 --> 02:06:48,400
especially at the senate amendments. The

3037
02:06:48,400 --> 02:06:51,400
senate really made it worse. We knew

3038
02:06:51,400 --> 02:06:53,400
we had a storm. Cooing. It's not coming

3039
02:06:53,400 --> 02:06:54,400
tomorrow. But it's coming very soon. And

3040
02:06:54,400 --> 02:06:56,400
the extent

3041
02:06:57,400 --> 02:06:59,800
to which we can

3042
02:07:00,400 --> 02:07:02,400
weather that storm is

3043
02:07:02,400 --> 02:07:03,400
how well we plan. So thank you so much for providing

3044
02:07:03,400 --> 02:07:06,400
the time today for us to

3045
02:07:06,400 --> 02:07:08,400
update

3046
02:07:09,400 --> 02:07:11,400
you

3047
02:07:11,400 --> 02:07:12,400
on where things are.

3048
02:07:12,400 --> 02:07:13,400
>> we appreciate

3049
02:07:13,400 --> 02:07:15,400
it. Anybody who

3050
02:07:15,400 --> 02:07:17,400
wants to

3051
02:07:17,400 --> 02:07:21,400
speak on this item will be able to

3052
02:07:21,400 --> 02:07:23,400
do

3053
02:07:27,400 --> 02:07:29,400
so under public presentations. All

3054
02:07:29,400 --> 02:07:32,400
items are approved with one motion

3055
02:07:32,400 --> 02:07:36,400
unless an item is pulled for discussion

3056
02:07:36,400 --> 02:07:37,400
on the consent items. Do we

3057
02:07:37,400 --> 02:07:38,400
have any items pulled? Councilmember gonzalez?

3058
02:07:38,400 --> 02:07:39,400
>>

3059
02:07:39,400 --> 02:07:41,400
I was going to make

3060
02:07:41,400 --> 02:07:42,400
a motion to approve the consent calendar.

3061
02:07:42,400 --> 02:07:43,400
>>

3062
02:07:43,400 --> 02:07:44,400
I second that.

3063
02:07:44,400 --> 02:07:45,400
>> so

3064
02:07:45,400 --> 02:07:47,400
we have a

3065
02:07:48,400 --> 02:07:50,400
motion

3066
02:07:51,400 --> 02:07:53,400
and

3067
02:07:54,400 --> 02:07:56,400
a

3068
02:07:56,400 --> 02:07:57,400
second. Vice mayor cox?

3069
02:07:57,400 --> 02:07:58,400
>> I move

3070
02:07:58,400 --> 02:08:00,400
to pull

3071
02:08:00,400 --> 02:08:01,400
the city building permitting process. And

3072
02:08:01,400 --> 02:08:03,400
I need

3073
02:08:03,400 --> 02:08:06,400
to mention under our council of the

3074
02:08:06,400 --> 02:08:09,400
attorney, I did ask about my

3075
02:08:09,400 --> 02:08:11,400
potential recusal

3076
02:08:12,400 --> 02:08:14,400
from items 4j and 4k. He

3077
02:08:14,400 --> 02:08:18,400
said that would be fine for me to

3078
02:08:18,400 --> 02:08:20,400
participate

3079
02:08:21,400 --> 02:08:22,400
in.

3080
02:08:22,400 --> 02:08:24,400
>>

3081
02:08:27,400 --> 02:08:29,800
thank you councilmember jane.

3082
02:08:33,400 --> 02:08:35,400
>> we have a

3083
02:08:36,400 --> 02:08:37,400
motion on the floor by

3084
02:08:37,400 --> 02:08:39,400
councilmember gonzalez. City clerk, I

3085
02:08:39,400 --> 02:08:40,400
think you are

3086
02:08:40,400 --> 02:08:42,400
supposed to read that. Right? Have

3087
02:08:42,400 --> 02:08:44,800
to get back in

3088
02:08:45,400 --> 02:08:47,400
the

3089
02:08:47,400 --> 02:08:51,400
swing of things now. Right? In and

3090
02:08:51,400 --> 02:08:53,400
a

3091
02:08:54,400 --> 02:08:57,400
second. Noting 4b is pulled.

3092
02:09:03,400 --> 02:09:04,400
>> so we are noting 4b is being pulled and

3093
02:09:04,400 --> 02:09:06,400
approving

3094
02:09:06,400 --> 02:09:08,400
the

3095
02:09:09,400 --> 02:09:12,400
balance of the consent items

3096
02:09:12,400 --> 02:09:13,400
includeing the stadium items as well.

3097
02:09:13,400 --> 02:09:15,400
>> okay.

3098
02:09:18,400 --> 02:09:20,800
>> please register your vote.

3099
02:09:23,400 --> 02:09:24,400
and that's unanimously approved. Thank

3100
02:09:24,400 --> 02:09:26,400
you

3101
02:09:27,400 --> 02:09:28,400
very much. Now, we are going onto

3102
02:09:28,400 --> 02:09:30,400
public presentations. I think

3103
02:09:30,400 --> 02:09:32,400
we have a

3104
02:09:32,400 --> 02:09:33,400
few public presentations this evening. We

3105
02:09:33,400 --> 02:09:35,400
will start with the cards

3106
02:09:35,400 --> 02:09:36,400
of those who have submitted cards

3107
02:09:36,400 --> 02:09:39,400
and then I will ask openly if anyone

3108
02:09:39,400 --> 02:09:42,400
else would like to speak. And

3109
02:09:42,400 --> 02:09:44,400
then we

3110
02:09:45,400 --> 02:09:48,400
will go online. So okay. We

3111
02:09:48,400 --> 02:09:50,800
will start with peter

3112
02:09:51,400 --> 02:09:53,400
frederick

3113
02:09:54,400 --> 02:09:56,400
followed

3114
02:10:00,400 --> 02:10:01,400
by brian

3115
02:10:01,400 --> 02:10:02,400
darby. Welcome.

3116
02:10:02,400 --> 02:10:03,400
>> question. Would

3117
02:10:03,400 --> 02:10:04,400
the city of santa clara bring a chapter

3118
02:10:04,400 --> 02:10:05,400
of

3119
02:10:05,400 --> 02:10:07,400
the proud boys into its police department

3120
02:10:07,400 --> 02:10:09,400
to stage a photo op

3121
02:10:09,400 --> 02:10:11,400
with the officers? That would be disturbing

3122
02:10:11,400 --> 02:10:13,400
enough. But for all its faults at

3123
02:10:13,400 --> 02:10:15,400
least they are an american

3124
02:10:15,400 --> 02:10:16,400
outfit. So, would the city of santa

3125
02:10:16,400 --> 02:10:18,400
clara

3126
02:10:18,400 --> 02:10:19,400
recognize and legitimize a local cell

3127
02:10:19,400 --> 02:10:20,400
of the chinese

3128
02:10:20,400 --> 02:10:22,400
communist party by bringing them into

3129
02:10:22,400 --> 02:10:24,400
these chambers awarding

3130
02:10:25,400 --> 02:10:26,400
them with resolution

3131
02:10:26,400 --> 02:10:28,400
and platforming them here? No doubt

3132
02:10:28,400 --> 02:10:30,400
city official would

3133
02:10:30,400 --> 02:10:33,400
not do that. Why? Because you know

3134
02:10:33,400 --> 02:10:34,400
what the proud boys stand for and

3135
02:10:34,400 --> 02:10:36,400
you

3136
02:10:36,400 --> 02:10:37,400
know whose interests the ccp represents. So

3137
02:10:37,400 --> 02:10:38,400
why has

3138
02:10:38,400 --> 02:10:40,400
the city of santa clara repeatedly

3139
02:10:40,400 --> 02:10:42,800
engaged with the local

3140
02:10:43,400 --> 02:10:45,400
cell of an organization called the

3141
02:10:45,400 --> 02:10:46,400
hss? And, did you know that the hss

3142
02:10:46,400 --> 02:10:48,400
is the

3143
02:10:49,400 --> 02:10:50,400
american wing of

3144
02:10:50,400 --> 02:10:51,400
india's rss? The rss according to

3145
02:10:51,400 --> 02:10:53,400
the civil rights group justice for

3146
02:10:53,400 --> 02:10:55,400
all is the largest para military organization

3147
02:10:55,400 --> 02:10:57,400
in

3148
02:10:58,400 --> 02:11:00,800
the world and follows

3149
02:11:01,400 --> 02:11:03,800
an ideology, a fascist

3150
02:11:04,400 --> 02:11:06,800
nazi inspired ideology that

3151
02:11:08,400 --> 02:11:10,400
the hss also embraces. Congressman

3152
02:11:10,400 --> 02:11:12,400
rokanna says it

3153
02:11:13,400 --> 02:11:15,400
is a

3154
02:11:15,400 --> 02:11:16,400
duty to reject them. They recently

3155
02:11:16,400 --> 02:11:18,400
applauded them

3156
02:11:19,400 --> 02:11:21,400
here in these very

3157
02:11:21,400 --> 02:11:22,400
chambers. The hss is not forthcoming

3158
02:11:22,400 --> 02:11:24,400
about

3159
02:11:25,400 --> 02:11:27,400
its

3160
02:11:28,400 --> 02:11:29,400
rss ties. It is the

3161
02:11:29,400 --> 02:11:31,400
rss operated under a different name

3162
02:11:31,400 --> 02:11:34,400
but it will strive to mask the links

3163
02:11:34,400 --> 02:11:36,400
they have with the rss

3164
02:11:36,400 --> 02:11:37,400
to avoid being overtly stigmatized. Since

3165
02:11:37,400 --> 02:11:39,400
the

3166
02:11:39,400 --> 02:11:40,400
rss in india is rapidly implements

3167
02:11:40,400 --> 02:11:42,400
its agenda

3168
02:11:43,400 --> 02:11:44,400
to make it hell on earth

3169
02:11:44,400 --> 02:11:46,400
for minorities like christian, muslims

3170
02:11:46,400 --> 02:11:47,400
and sikhs with

3171
02:11:47,400 --> 02:11:49,400
the goal of exterminating them. And

3172
02:11:49,400 --> 02:11:51,400
yet it is not just a problem

3173
02:11:51,400 --> 02:11:52,400
for indians in india. It impacts us

3174
02:11:52,400 --> 02:11:54,400
here in america,

3175
02:11:55,400 --> 02:11:56,400
in california, in

3176
02:11:56,400 --> 02:11:58,400
santa clara. The hss and associated

3177
02:11:58,400 --> 02:12:01,400
groups host tours of hate speakers

3178
02:12:01,400 --> 02:12:03,400
from

3179
02:12:04,400 --> 02:12:06,800
india who spew islamophobia,

3180
02:12:07,400 --> 02:12:09,400
work to teach

3181
02:12:09,400 --> 02:12:10,400
a supremacist version of history and

3182
02:12:10,400 --> 02:12:12,400
push to

3183
02:12:12,400 --> 02:12:13,400
label critics as bigots. One of the

3184
02:12:13,400 --> 02:12:15,400
associates

3185
02:12:16,400 --> 02:12:17,400
is the hindu american foundation

3186
02:12:17,400 --> 02:12:19,400
which harbors magazine explains is

3187
02:12:19,400 --> 02:12:22,400
closely connected in word and

3188
02:12:22,400 --> 02:12:24,400
spirit to the rss and lobbies

3189
02:12:24,400 --> 02:12:25,400
against efforts to squash criticism

3190
02:12:25,400 --> 02:12:27,400
and

3191
02:12:28,400 --> 02:12:31,400
critics. No wonder that groups like

3192
02:12:31,400 --> 02:12:34,400
haf are opposing california's sb509

3193
02:12:34,400 --> 02:12:35,400
which would curb transnational

3194
02:12:35,400 --> 02:12:37,400
oppression. They don't care that californians

3195
02:12:37,400 --> 02:12:38,400
like

3196
02:12:38,400 --> 02:12:40,400
me are targeted by indian's spy agency

3197
02:12:40,400 --> 02:12:42,400
or some

3198
02:12:46,400 --> 02:12:48,400
american critics

3199
02:12:51,400 --> 02:12:52,400
are targeted for assassinations. When

3200
02:12:52,400 --> 02:12:54,400
the

3201
02:12:55,400 --> 02:12:56,400
city of santa clara praises them,

3202
02:12:56,400 --> 02:12:58,400
they

3203
02:12:58,400 --> 02:13:00,400
are unwittingly be

3204
02:13:00,400 --> 02:13:03,400
playing into the agenda. You ought

3205
02:13:03,400 --> 02:13:04,400
to think thrice before doing it for

3206
02:13:04,400 --> 02:13:06,800
the hss. It is

3207
02:13:07,400 --> 02:13:10,400
the international wing of that

3208
02:13:10,400 --> 02:13:11,400
murderous hindu nationalist para military. I

3209
02:13:11,400 --> 02:13:12,400
have

3210
02:13:12,400 --> 02:13:13,400
for ever member an information packet.

3211
02:13:13,400 --> 02:13:14,400
>> please

3212
02:13:14,400 --> 02:13:16,400
give it to our

3213
02:13:16,400 --> 02:13:18,400
city

3214
02:13:19,400 --> 02:13:22,400
clerk. Thank you peter. Thank

3215
02:13:22,400 --> 02:13:24,400
you. Brian,

3216
02:13:24,400 --> 02:13:25,400
you're next, followed by howard.

3217
02:13:25,400 --> 02:13:26,400
>>

3218
02:13:26,400 --> 02:13:27,400
welcome.

3219
02:13:27,400 --> 02:13:31,000
>> hi, I got suspendered on today.

3220
02:13:31,400 --> 02:13:33,400
I was going

3221
02:13:34,400 --> 02:13:37,400
to come up here with a

3222
02:13:37,400 --> 02:13:40,400
49er rant because they spent

3223
02:13:43,400 --> 02:13:45,400
$15 million on elections.

3224
02:13:46,400 --> 02:13:48,400
I hope

3225
02:13:49,400 --> 02:13:52,400
you don't read comments about you

3226
02:13:52,400 --> 02:13:55,400
folks. I am a fairly naive person

3227
02:13:55,400 --> 02:13:56,400
in a lot of ways. Mr. Gonzalez

3228
02:13:56,400 --> 02:13:58,400
knows me from many meetings were we

3229
02:13:58,400 --> 02:14:00,400
were speaking and the

3230
02:14:00,400 --> 02:14:01,400
timers on the lights went out because

3231
02:14:01,400 --> 02:14:04,400
it was late into the evening because

3232
02:14:04,400 --> 02:14:06,400
we

3233
02:14:06,400 --> 02:14:07,400
cared about people. One thing that

3234
02:14:07,400 --> 02:14:09,400
is

3235
02:14:10,400 --> 02:14:12,400
true and I always considered

3236
02:14:12,400 --> 02:14:13,400
this one of the biggest sins I have

3237
02:14:13,400 --> 02:14:15,400
committed is I

3238
02:14:16,400 --> 02:14:18,400
don't have a lot of

3239
02:14:18,400 --> 02:14:19,400
money. My mom would have died at home. But

3240
02:14:19,400 --> 02:14:21,400
I didn't have the money to

3241
02:14:21,400 --> 02:14:25,400
take care of it. I personally will

3242
02:14:25,400 --> 02:14:27,400
never forgive myself

3243
02:14:28,400 --> 02:14:31,400
for that. I say that

3244
02:14:31,400 --> 02:14:32,400
pubicly because she is gone. If she

3245
02:14:32,400 --> 02:14:33,400
was here, she would

3246
02:14:33,400 --> 02:14:34,400
drag me out by the ear. I wish I could

3247
02:14:34,400 --> 02:14:35,400
write a check

3248
02:14:35,400 --> 02:14:37,400
to take care of the hospitals because

3249
02:14:37,400 --> 02:14:40,400
I have been in a few of them. I

3250
02:14:40,400 --> 02:14:43,400
said this last time. I'm

3251
02:14:43,400 --> 02:14:45,400
not sure if I used but

3252
02:14:45,400 --> 02:14:49,400
we are all mortal. Jack kennedy said that

3253
02:14:49,400 --> 02:14:52,400
and died way before his

3254
02:14:52,400 --> 02:14:56,000
time. We had a young man,

3255
02:14:58,400 --> 02:15:00,400
mr. Kirk just assassinated. I watch

3256
02:15:00,400 --> 02:15:01,400
president reagan. God forgive me. I

3257
02:15:01,400 --> 02:15:03,400
watch

3258
02:15:04,400 --> 02:15:05,400
president trump's speech to the u.n.

3259
02:15:05,400 --> 02:15:07,400
today and

3260
02:15:07,400 --> 02:15:09,400
I watched how

3261
02:15:10,400 --> 02:15:13,400
tylenol causes autism. If it is

3262
02:15:13,400 --> 02:15:16,400
linked. We are in a

3263
02:15:17,400 --> 02:15:18,400
different world. And, it is no

3264
02:15:18,400 --> 02:15:22,400
fault because mr. Trump won and he

3265
02:15:22,400 --> 02:15:23,400
is the president and I respect that

3266
02:15:23,400 --> 02:15:25,400
and I agree with some

3267
02:15:25,400 --> 02:15:27,400
of the things he says. I will never let myself

3268
02:15:27,400 --> 02:15:29,400
believe that the people who voted

3269
02:15:29,400 --> 02:15:32,400
for him are fascists. That

3270
02:15:32,400 --> 02:15:34,400
is half of

3271
02:15:34,400 --> 02:15:35,400
america. I just wish the other half

3272
02:15:35,400 --> 02:15:37,400
would believe that we are

3273
02:15:37,400 --> 02:15:38,400
not all evil. We are all trying to

3274
02:15:38,400 --> 02:15:40,400
get

3275
02:15:41,400 --> 02:15:43,400
by the best way we can. We

3276
02:15:43,400 --> 02:15:44,400
have to learn that. Because if we

3277
02:15:44,400 --> 02:15:45,400
don't, like

3278
02:15:45,400 --> 02:15:47,400
I said, everything we do here is moot. If

3279
02:15:47,400 --> 02:15:49,400
we don't

3280
02:15:49,400 --> 02:15:50,400
learn that. Especially in a nuclear

3281
02:15:50,400 --> 02:15:51,400
age. We really

3282
02:15:51,400 --> 02:15:52,400
do need to think about it. That is

3283
02:15:52,400 --> 02:15:53,400
probably the most important thing

3284
02:15:53,400 --> 02:15:55,400
you

3285
02:15:56,400 --> 02:15:58,400
can do with

3286
02:15:59,400 --> 02:16:01,800
those sister cities is

3287
02:16:02,400 --> 02:16:03,400
break down the walls. Sorry I

3288
02:16:03,400 --> 02:16:04,400
was so disjointed tonight. Thank you.

3289
02:16:04,400 --> 02:16:05,400
>>

3290
02:16:05,400 --> 02:16:07,400
thank

3291
02:16:07,400 --> 02:16:08,400
you brian. And your suspenders look

3292
02:16:08,400 --> 02:16:10,400
nice. All

3293
02:16:10,400 --> 02:16:13,400
right, howard? Howie, please come

3294
02:16:13,400 --> 02:16:14,400
forward. Followed by dan.

3295
02:16:14,400 --> 02:16:15,400
>> hello everybody. It's that time of

3296
02:16:15,400 --> 02:16:17,400
the year

3297
02:16:17,400 --> 02:16:19,400
that I come

3298
02:16:20,400 --> 02:16:22,400
in. I thank everybody in the

3299
02:16:22,400 --> 02:16:23,400
city for all the work they sent my

3300
02:16:23,400 --> 02:16:25,400
way putting

3301
02:16:26,400 --> 02:16:28,400
on them concert

3302
02:16:29,400 --> 02:16:30,400
ins the

3303
02:16:30,400 --> 02:16:32,400
downtown street dance. And having

3304
02:16:32,400 --> 02:16:34,400
certain mayor

3305
02:16:34,400 --> 02:16:35,400
and city council person coming out

3306
02:16:35,400 --> 02:16:37,400
and

3307
02:16:38,400 --> 02:16:40,400
having fun and

3308
02:16:41,400 --> 02:16:44,400
buying hot dogs and loading up

3309
02:16:44,400 --> 02:16:46,400
my

3310
02:16:47,400 --> 02:16:49,400
jar pretty

3311
02:16:49,400 --> 02:16:50,400
good. But anyway, the parks and rec,

3312
02:16:50,400 --> 02:16:52,400
the hard

3313
02:16:52,400 --> 02:16:53,400
work they put in to help me out. We

3314
02:16:53,400 --> 02:16:55,800
put in a park

3315
02:16:56,400 --> 02:16:58,400
opening here that

3316
02:16:58,400 --> 02:16:59,400
was fun. The city gave away 100 hot

3317
02:16:59,400 --> 02:17:01,400
dogs. You

3318
02:17:02,400 --> 02:17:04,400
should

3319
02:17:05,400 --> 02:17:07,400
have

3320
02:17:08,400 --> 02:17:10,400
been there. But

3321
02:17:11,400 --> 02:17:13,400
anyway, another thing

3322
02:17:14,400 --> 02:17:17,400
is the chief of police

3323
02:17:17,400 --> 02:17:19,400
came out. The

3324
02:17:20,400 --> 02:17:21,400
mayor. And kelly cox, district 6, stopped

3325
02:17:21,400 --> 02:17:23,400
by and said

3326
02:17:23,400 --> 02:17:26,400
hi and ran away. They did

3327
02:17:26,400 --> 02:17:28,400
not get

3328
02:17:28,400 --> 02:17:29,400
no hot dogs. No tip jar.

3329
02:17:29,400 --> 02:17:31,400
>> we didn't

3330
02:17:32,400 --> 02:17:33,400
have any cash, all right?

3331
02:17:33,400 --> 02:17:35,400
>>

3332
02:17:35,400 --> 02:17:37,400
that's okay. I

3333
02:17:37,400 --> 02:17:38,400
take cards. But anyway, it was cool

3334
02:17:38,400 --> 02:17:40,400
because the

3335
02:17:41,400 --> 02:17:43,400
chief of

3336
02:17:44,400 --> 02:17:47,400
police stopped by. See how I'm

3337
02:17:47,400 --> 02:17:50,400
doing. How things are going out

3338
02:17:50,400 --> 02:17:52,400
there. And in conversation,

3339
02:17:52,400 --> 02:17:53,400
we were talking and he presented me

3340
02:17:53,400 --> 02:17:55,400
with this challenge coin

3341
02:17:55,400 --> 02:17:56,400
which is pretty good. If you don't know what

3342
02:17:56,400 --> 02:17:58,400
a

3343
02:17:59,400 --> 02:18:01,400
challenge

3344
02:18:02,400 --> 02:18:05,400
coin is, look it up. But then

3345
02:18:05,400 --> 02:18:07,400
I look

3346
02:18:07,400 --> 02:18:08,400
at the web page later and right off

3347
02:18:08,400 --> 02:18:10,400
the

3348
02:18:11,400 --> 02:18:13,400
bat, somebody's talking

3349
02:18:14,400 --> 02:18:16,800
about a 30-year-old murder

3350
02:18:17,400 --> 02:18:19,800
in new mexico? Another

3351
02:18:20,400 --> 02:18:22,400
guy is mad because

3352
02:18:22,400 --> 02:18:23,400
the nfl referees are cheaters. But

3353
02:18:23,400 --> 02:18:25,800
you know that was

3354
02:18:26,400 --> 02:18:28,400
my day,

3355
02:18:29,400 --> 02:18:31,400
having a chief

3356
02:18:32,400 --> 02:18:35,400
come by, checking on a small business

3357
02:18:35,400 --> 02:18:37,400
and here these

3358
02:18:37,400 --> 02:18:38,400
guys post something like negative. They

3359
02:18:38,400 --> 02:18:40,400
come

3360
02:18:40,400 --> 02:18:41,400
and crap on my day. It's my parade

3361
02:18:41,400 --> 02:18:43,800
and they crap all

3362
02:18:44,400 --> 02:18:47,400
over it. So all I got to say,

3363
02:18:47,400 --> 02:18:49,400
may

3364
02:18:50,400 --> 02:18:52,400
the bluebird of

3365
02:18:53,400 --> 02:18:55,400
happiness

3366
02:18:55,400 --> 02:18:56,400
in their cheerios. Sorry. You guys

3367
02:18:56,400 --> 02:18:59,400
know I normally don't say bad

3368
02:18:59,400 --> 02:19:02,400
words but that was really

3369
02:19:02,400 --> 02:19:04,400
irritating to

3370
02:19:05,400 --> 02:19:08,400
me. And if anybody sees me. The

3371
02:19:08,400 --> 02:19:11,400
city attorney and city manager, we

3372
02:19:11,400 --> 02:19:12,400
are just having fun. We spoke

3373
02:19:12,400 --> 02:19:13,400
at each other. No big deal.

3374
02:19:13,400 --> 02:19:14,400
>> that's all. Thank you.

3375
02:19:14,400 --> 02:19:16,400
>>

3376
02:19:17,400 --> 02:19:18,400
thank you howard.

3377
02:19:18,400 --> 02:19:20,400
>> I ran that

3378
02:19:22,400 --> 02:19:23,400
perfect.

3379
02:19:23,400 --> 02:19:24,400
>> perfect. It was perfect. Thank

3380
02:19:24,400 --> 02:19:26,400
you. Next we

3381
02:19:26,400 --> 02:19:28,800
have dan followed by

3382
02:19:29,400 --> 02:19:30,400
kirk. Thank you.

3383
02:19:30,400 --> 02:19:32,400
>>

3384
02:19:32,400 --> 02:19:33,400
thank you madame mayor. Council. City

3385
02:19:33,400 --> 02:19:35,400
management. City

3386
02:19:35,400 --> 02:19:37,800
attorney. I will keep

3387
02:19:38,400 --> 02:19:40,400
this pg. I am here to dispel one

3388
02:19:40,400 --> 02:19:41,400
incorrect argument in the latest effort

3389
02:19:41,400 --> 02:19:43,400
to

3390
02:19:44,400 --> 02:19:45,400
unseat a sitting

3391
02:19:45,400 --> 02:19:47,400
council member. The author blames

3392
02:19:47,400 --> 02:19:49,800
councilmember jain for empty

3393
02:19:50,400 --> 02:19:52,400
promises quote

3394
02:19:53,400 --> 02:19:55,400
unquote of downtown revitalization

3395
02:19:55,400 --> 02:19:56,400
that have delivered nothing but expense, unquote. The

3396
02:19:56,400 --> 02:19:58,400
author of this

3397
02:19:59,400 --> 02:20:00,400
sentence does not know or even participated

3398
02:20:00,400 --> 02:20:02,400
in

3399
02:20:02,400 --> 02:20:05,400
the six years of planning

3400
02:20:05,400 --> 02:20:06,400
to bring back this downtown. Councilmember

3401
02:20:06,400 --> 02:20:08,400
jain was

3402
02:20:08,400 --> 02:20:10,800
there every time we

3403
02:20:11,400 --> 02:20:14,400
asked him as were you all. He was

3404
02:20:14,400 --> 02:20:17,400
instrumental in forming his code. Potential transit

3405
02:20:17,400 --> 02:20:20,400
connections to the santa clara

3406
02:20:20,400 --> 02:20:23,400
train station, pushing for the rfp

3407
02:20:23,400 --> 02:20:25,400
to be released on blocks a and b. I

3408
02:20:25,400 --> 02:20:26,400
want to say that I would be up here

3409
02:20:26,400 --> 02:20:29,400
for any of you before me because each

3410
02:20:29,400 --> 02:20:31,400
one of you have helped

3411
02:20:31,400 --> 02:20:35,400
us in our return to create an amazing

3412
02:20:35,400 --> 02:20:36,400
downtown the last ten years. To blame

3413
02:20:36,400 --> 02:20:37,400
one

3414
02:20:37,400 --> 02:20:39,400
member for the reason the downtown

3415
02:20:39,400 --> 02:20:41,400
has not been

3416
02:20:42,400 --> 02:20:45,400
built is like blaming him for

3417
02:20:45,400 --> 02:20:47,400
why the related project has not

3418
02:20:47,400 --> 02:20:48,400
been built. To blame james carvel,

3419
02:20:48,400 --> 02:20:50,400
it's

3420
02:20:51,400 --> 02:20:53,400
the

3421
02:20:53,400 --> 02:20:54,400
economy, stupid. The plan is done. Suds. Many

3422
02:20:54,400 --> 02:20:56,400
of

3423
02:20:57,400 --> 02:21:00,400
you, city management and staff

3424
02:21:00,400 --> 02:21:01,400
are pushing for the rfp

3425
02:21:01,400 --> 02:21:03,400
and we appreciate, and thank you all

3426
02:21:03,400 --> 02:21:05,400
and thank suds for

3427
02:21:05,400 --> 02:21:09,000
this. Recall is based on integrity,

3428
02:21:09,400 --> 02:21:10,400
accountability, and putting

3429
02:21:10,400 --> 02:21:12,400
the community first. Councilmember

3430
02:21:12,400 --> 02:21:14,400
jain has shown this volunteer

3431
02:21:14,400 --> 02:21:15,400
group and everyone who wants this

3432
02:21:15,400 --> 02:21:17,400
downtown

3433
02:21:18,400 --> 02:21:20,400
returned all of

3434
02:21:21,400 --> 02:21:23,400
these

3435
02:21:24,400 --> 02:21:25,400
strengths. Thank you.

3436
02:21:25,400 --> 02:21:26,400
>>

3437
02:21:26,400 --> 02:21:27,400
thank you. Kurt followed by kathy. Welcome

3438
02:21:27,400 --> 02:21:29,400
and you have

3439
02:21:30,400 --> 02:21:31,400
a power point and it's up.

3440
02:21:31,400 --> 02:21:33,400
>>

3441
02:21:33,400 --> 02:21:34,400
good evening, mayor and

3442
02:21:34,400 --> 02:21:39,200
council. I put up for you here the

3443
02:21:42,400 --> 02:21:45,400
air corral shot, a aerial shot

3444
02:21:45,400 --> 02:21:47,400
that the

3445
02:21:48,400 --> 02:21:50,400
core companies utilized

3446
02:21:51,400 --> 02:21:54,400
for their project. I do this for reference and

3447
02:21:54,400 --> 02:21:56,800
I will go to

3448
02:21:57,400 --> 02:21:59,400
another

3449
02:22:03,400 --> 02:22:06,400
thing on their page. If I can.

3450
02:22:06,400 --> 02:22:08,800
thank you. This is

3451
02:22:09,400 --> 02:22:11,800
also on the architect's

3452
02:22:12,400 --> 02:22:14,400
website which

3453
02:22:14,400 --> 02:22:15,400
shows the dynamic spaces. Four different

3454
02:22:15,400 --> 02:22:17,400
areas, the

3455
02:22:18,400 --> 02:22:19,400
community

3456
02:22:19,400 --> 02:22:21,400
building, farm, et cetera and then

3457
02:22:21,400 --> 02:22:22,400
it goes in and shows

3458
02:22:22,400 --> 02:22:24,400
live pictures. These are actual pictures

3459
02:22:24,400 --> 02:22:27,400
from the site where people

3460
02:22:27,400 --> 02:22:29,400
are enjoying

3461
02:22:30,400 --> 02:22:31,400
the space. The open

3462
02:22:31,400 --> 02:22:33,400
space. The shed. Et cetera. This next shot is

3463
02:22:33,400 --> 02:22:36,400
a google view of showing what the

3464
02:22:36,400 --> 02:22:38,800
space actually is that

3465
02:22:39,400 --> 02:22:41,400
is not developed. So this is that green

3466
02:22:41,400 --> 02:22:42,400
space, about 1.77 acres of the 5.8. It is

3467
02:22:42,400 --> 02:22:45,400
not quite a third, but it

3468
02:22:45,400 --> 02:22:48,400
is more than a quarter. So it is

3469
02:22:48,400 --> 02:22:50,400
the single largest

3470
02:22:50,400 --> 02:22:51,400
space on the current site that has

3471
02:22:51,400 --> 02:22:52,400
been

3472
02:22:52,400 --> 02:22:54,400
developed right now. And what's being

3473
02:22:54,400 --> 02:22:56,400
proposed and the reason

3474
02:22:56,400 --> 02:22:57,400
I have been speaking the last few

3475
02:22:57,400 --> 02:22:59,400
meetings

3476
02:23:00,400 --> 02:23:02,800
is the developer wants

3477
02:23:03,400 --> 02:23:05,400
to change that original design

3478
02:23:05,400 --> 02:23:06,400
that they talked about to something

3479
02:23:06,400 --> 02:23:08,400
that is

3480
02:23:09,400 --> 02:23:12,400
not that. And so, this is

3481
02:23:12,400 --> 02:23:14,400
not what they are proposing. This

3482
02:23:14,400 --> 02:23:15,400
is some ideas on what could be done

3483
02:23:15,400 --> 02:23:17,400
if you

3484
02:23:17,400 --> 02:23:18,400
want to reimagine and lean into the

3485
02:23:18,400 --> 02:23:19,400
vitality of the space. This looks at

3486
02:23:19,400 --> 02:23:21,400
how do

3487
02:23:21,400 --> 02:23:23,400
you lean in a housing

3488
02:23:23,400 --> 02:23:24,400
development with place making, community

3489
02:23:24,400 --> 02:23:26,400
ground floor,

3490
02:23:27,400 --> 02:23:28,400
and a community built

3491
02:23:28,400 --> 02:23:30,400
around ground floor experiences. And

3492
02:23:30,400 --> 02:23:32,400
I think that

3493
02:23:33,400 --> 02:23:36,400
is the spirit of what

3494
02:23:36,400 --> 02:23:38,400
brought agrihood to the city. Whether

3495
02:23:38,400 --> 02:23:39,400
you like tall buildings, short builtings,

3496
02:23:39,400 --> 02:23:41,800
lots of people. Not

3497
02:23:42,400 --> 02:23:45,400
a lot of people. The project

3498
02:23:45,400 --> 02:23:47,400
was supposed to put another 160

3499
02:23:47,400 --> 02:23:48,400
apartments in this site. And this

3500
02:23:48,400 --> 02:23:50,400
view

3501
02:23:54,400 --> 02:23:56,800
here that I'm showing

3502
02:23:57,400 --> 02:23:58,400
you is 180. Maybe 220. And this is

3503
02:23:58,400 --> 02:24:00,400
what was already

3504
02:24:00,400 --> 02:24:02,400
proposed and

3505
02:24:02,400 --> 02:24:03,400
approved by this council. Three of

3506
02:24:03,400 --> 02:24:05,400
the members

3507
02:24:05,400 --> 02:24:06,400
on this council supported this. Quotes

3508
02:24:06,400 --> 02:24:08,400
from our mayor

3509
02:24:08,400 --> 02:24:09,400
which I truly appreciate. They spelled

3510
02:24:09,400 --> 02:24:11,800
your name wrong. But

3511
02:24:12,400 --> 02:24:15,400
it is how does the

3512
02:24:15,400 --> 02:24:17,400
community benefit from projects

3513
02:24:17,400 --> 02:24:18,400
like this? It's ability community

3514
02:24:18,400 --> 02:24:19,400
engagement and engaging

3515
02:24:19,400 --> 02:24:21,400
the community in vital community experiences

3516
02:24:21,400 --> 02:24:24,400
and something like this if we imagine

3517
02:24:24,400 --> 02:24:27,400
and take the spirit of what it

3518
02:24:27,400 --> 02:24:29,400
is and let our minds go

3519
02:24:29,400 --> 02:24:30,400
a little deeper and honestly, if court

3520
02:24:30,400 --> 02:24:33,400
can't do that, ask them to sell

3521
02:24:33,400 --> 02:24:35,400
it to somebody else and let's try

3522
02:24:35,400 --> 02:24:36,400
to mark something like this, thank

3523
02:24:36,400 --> 02:24:38,400
you very

3524
02:24:39,400 --> 02:24:40,400
much.

3525
02:24:40,400 --> 02:24:42,400
>> thank

3526
02:24:42,400 --> 02:24:46,000
you kurt. Kathy followed by mary.

3527
02:24:48,400 --> 02:24:49,400
welcome.

3528
02:24:49,400 --> 02:24:51,400
>> I'm kathy. I am

3529
02:24:51,400 --> 02:24:54,400
here to say I don't

3530
02:24:54,400 --> 02:24:56,400
believe we should

3531
02:25:00,400 --> 02:25:02,800
have the recall of

3532
02:25:03,400 --> 02:25:06,400
sed. I believe a recall is

3533
02:25:06,400 --> 02:25:08,400
not a

3534
02:25:08,400 --> 02:25:09,400
good use of city money so I'm just

3535
02:25:09,400 --> 02:25:11,400
here to say I

3536
02:25:11,400 --> 02:25:12,400
think it is very unnecessary. He is

3537
02:25:12,400 --> 02:25:14,400
a

3538
02:25:15,400 --> 02:25:18,400
very hard working man. Thank

3539
02:25:18,400 --> 02:25:19,400
you.

3540
02:25:19,400 --> 02:25:21,400
>>

3541
02:25:21,400 --> 02:25:23,400
thank

3542
02:25:24,400 --> 02:25:28,000
you kathy. Mary? Followed by domanic.

3543
02:25:30,400 --> 02:25:32,400
welcome

3544
02:25:36,400 --> 02:25:38,400
.

3545
02:25:39,400 --> 02:25:41,400
>> good evening mayor

3546
02:25:43,400 --> 02:25:45,400
and council members. My

3547
02:25:45,400 --> 02:25:46,400
name is mary grizzle. Cochair of reclaiming

3548
02:25:46,400 --> 02:25:48,800
our downtown. I'm here

3549
02:25:49,400 --> 02:25:51,400
to speak in

3550
02:25:52,400 --> 02:25:53,400
strong support of

3551
02:25:53,400 --> 02:25:55,400
councilmember suds jain. Suds has

3552
02:25:55,400 --> 02:25:57,400
played a key role

3553
02:25:57,400 --> 02:25:58,400
in making our downtown project shovel

3554
02:25:58,400 --> 02:26:00,400
ready. He

3555
02:26:00,400 --> 02:26:01,400
pushed for adoption of the downtown

3556
02:26:01,400 --> 02:26:03,400
precise plan

3557
02:26:03,400 --> 02:26:07,000
and the form base code. Essential

3558
02:26:07,400 --> 02:26:08,400
tools for attracting

3559
02:26:08,400 --> 02:26:10,400
quality developers. He has insisted

3560
02:26:10,400 --> 02:26:12,400
on transparent rfps for blocks

3561
02:26:12,400 --> 02:26:13,400
a and b ensuring that the public not

3562
02:26:13,400 --> 02:26:15,400
just

3563
02:26:16,400 --> 02:26:19,400
back room deals will shape the

3564
02:26:19,400 --> 02:26:20,400
heart of our city. He has worked

3565
02:26:20,400 --> 02:26:22,400
to keep attention on critical steps. Geting

3566
02:26:22,400 --> 02:26:24,400
the

3567
02:26:24,400 --> 02:26:27,400
city's land use policies aligned,

3568
02:26:28,400 --> 02:26:30,400
removing legal and

3569
02:26:31,400 --> 02:26:33,400
procedural obstacles. And

3570
02:26:34,400 --> 02:26:36,400
making sure infrastructure

3571
02:26:36,400 --> 02:26:39,400
planning keeps space with development. These

3572
02:26:39,400 --> 02:26:40,400
may not be flashy headlines but without

3573
02:26:40,400 --> 02:26:42,400
them, no downtown

3574
02:26:43,400 --> 02:26:44,400
can ever be built. Some

3575
02:26:44,400 --> 02:26:46,400
cities say he has done nothing but

3576
02:26:46,400 --> 02:26:48,400
some

3577
02:26:48,400 --> 02:26:52,400
critics say he has done nothing. But

3578
02:26:52,400 --> 02:26:55,400
those critics have not participated

3579
02:26:55,400 --> 02:26:57,400
in this hard detailed work. They have

3580
02:26:57,400 --> 02:26:58,400
shown very little beyond self-promotion. Suds

3581
02:26:58,400 --> 02:27:00,400
has

3582
02:27:01,400 --> 02:27:02,400
done the opposite. He has

3583
02:27:02,400 --> 02:27:04,400
done the unglamorous. But essentially,

3584
02:27:04,400 --> 02:27:07,400
essential ground work that moves

3585
02:27:07,400 --> 02:27:09,400
us

3586
02:27:09,400 --> 02:27:10,400
from vision to reality. Thanks to

3587
02:27:10,400 --> 02:27:11,400
his

3588
02:27:11,400 --> 02:27:13,400
leadership. Santa clara is closer

3589
02:27:13,400 --> 02:27:16,400
than it has been in

3590
02:27:16,400 --> 02:27:17,400
decades to rebuilding a vibrant downtown

3591
02:27:17,400 --> 02:27:19,400
that

3592
02:27:19,400 --> 02:27:20,400
honors our history and

3593
02:27:20,400 --> 02:27:22,400
serves our future. In conclusion,

3594
02:27:22,400 --> 02:27:24,400
I want to

3595
02:27:25,400 --> 02:27:27,400
point out that nearly every

3596
02:27:27,400 --> 02:27:28,400
item listed in the recall against councilmember

3597
02:27:28,400 --> 02:27:30,400
suds jain

3598
02:27:31,400 --> 02:27:33,400
was not

3599
02:27:33,400 --> 02:27:34,400
his decision alone. These actions

3600
02:27:34,400 --> 02:27:36,400
require a majority

3601
02:27:37,400 --> 02:27:38,400
of four or five

3602
02:27:38,400 --> 02:27:40,400
members of the council. It is misleading

3603
02:27:40,400 --> 02:27:42,400
to single him

3604
02:27:43,400 --> 02:27:45,400
out for decisions

3605
02:27:45,400 --> 02:27:46,400
that were made collectively. Thank

3606
02:27:46,400 --> 02:27:47,400
you.

3607
02:27:47,400 --> 02:27:49,400
>> thank

3608
02:27:49,400 --> 02:27:52,400
you. We have domanic followed

3609
02:27:52,400 --> 02:27:54,400
by

3610
02:27:55,400 --> 02:27:57,400
wendy. Is

3611
02:27:58,400 --> 02:28:00,400
domanic

3612
02:28:00,400 --> 02:28:01,400
here? Please come forward.

3613
02:28:01,400 --> 02:28:04,400
>> welcome. Thank you. Good evening.

3614
02:28:04,400 --> 02:28:06,400
earlier,

3615
02:28:06,400 --> 02:28:07,400
we heard some remarks about the impact

3616
02:28:07,400 --> 02:28:09,400
that hr1

3617
02:28:10,400 --> 02:28:11,400
and its cuts are going to have on

3618
02:28:11,400 --> 02:28:13,400
the

3619
02:28:13,400 --> 02:28:14,400
state and our entire county in

3620
02:28:14,400 --> 02:28:16,400
particular. But also, those impacts will

3621
02:28:16,400 --> 02:28:17,400
be felt here in the city of santa

3622
02:28:17,400 --> 02:28:19,400
clara

3623
02:28:19,400 --> 02:28:20,400
and I wanted to speak

3624
02:28:20,400 --> 02:28:25,200
to that briefly. As well as an opportunity

3625
02:28:25,400 --> 02:28:27,400
that residents will have to

3626
02:28:27,400 --> 02:28:28,400
push back against that budget removal

3627
02:28:28,400 --> 02:28:31,400
in particular. So measure a which

3628
02:28:31,400 --> 02:28:34,400
will come before the voters this november

3629
02:28:34,400 --> 02:28:35,400
aim to restore funding for county

3630
02:28:35,400 --> 02:28:36,400
hospitals

3631
02:28:36,400 --> 02:28:37,400
that has mentioned would otherwise

3632
02:28:37,400 --> 02:28:38,400
close. I

3633
02:28:38,400 --> 02:28:40,400
want to draw attention to some of

3634
02:28:40,400 --> 02:28:43,400
the important reasons that the

3635
02:28:43,400 --> 02:28:45,400
community and

3636
02:28:46,400 --> 02:28:47,400
council should support this measure. Among

3637
02:28:47,400 --> 02:28:48,400
them,

3638
02:28:48,400 --> 02:28:49,400
in addition to the fact that thousand

3639
02:28:49,400 --> 02:28:51,400
of santa

3640
02:28:52,400 --> 02:28:54,400
clara

3641
02:28:55,400 --> 02:28:56,400
residents rely on scps service haves

3642
02:28:56,400 --> 02:28:58,400
for trauma care, 5,000

3643
02:28:58,400 --> 02:29:00,400
city of santa clara residents

3644
02:29:00,400 --> 02:29:01,400
were transported to an scvh emergency

3645
02:29:01,400 --> 02:29:03,400
room

3646
02:29:04,400 --> 02:29:06,400
ins the last

3647
02:29:07,400 --> 02:29:09,400
two years. It

3648
02:29:10,400 --> 02:29:12,400
provides

3649
02:29:13,400 --> 02:29:14,400
60

3650
02:29:14,400 --> 02:29:16,400
adults and pediatric specialties. They

3651
02:29:16,400 --> 02:29:18,800
operate a u.s.

3652
02:29:19,400 --> 02:29:22,400
up ins top ranked rehabilitation center

3653
02:29:22,400 --> 02:29:23,400
for patients recovering from serious

3654
02:29:23,400 --> 02:29:25,400
injuries. Among

3655
02:29:25,400 --> 02:29:28,400
them stroke, spinal cord trauma. Traumatic

3656
02:29:28,400 --> 02:29:30,400
brain injuries. Without measure a,

3657
02:29:30,400 --> 02:29:33,400
the center would likely close. 22,000

3658
02:29:34,400 --> 02:29:36,400
santa clara residents are enrolled

3659
02:29:36,400 --> 02:29:37,400
in medical. At risk of losing their coverage

3660
02:29:37,400 --> 02:29:40,400
as a result of these cuts. And

3661
02:29:40,400 --> 02:29:42,400
this is also a

3662
02:29:42,400 --> 02:29:43,400
major employer for our community. The

3663
02:29:43,400 --> 02:29:45,400
county employs

3664
02:29:46,400 --> 02:29:48,800
22,000 individuals and many of

3665
02:29:49,400 --> 02:29:50,400
them call

3666
02:29:50,400 --> 02:29:52,400
santa clara home. Finally, I'll say

3667
02:29:52,400 --> 02:29:54,400
we

3668
02:29:55,400 --> 02:29:56,400
want our public safety infrastructure

3669
02:29:56,400 --> 02:29:58,400
to

3670
02:29:58,400 --> 02:30:00,400
be strong and crisis response times

3671
02:30:00,400 --> 02:30:01,400
are part of that. We want a measure

3672
02:30:01,400 --> 02:30:03,400
with an oversight board

3673
02:30:03,400 --> 02:30:04,400
that will protect our tax boards from

3674
02:30:04,400 --> 02:30:06,400
capture by the state or

3675
02:30:06,400 --> 02:30:07,400
federal government. And I hope that

3676
02:30:07,400 --> 02:30:09,800
the council will consider

3677
02:30:10,400 --> 02:30:12,800
supporting yes on measure

3678
02:30:13,400 --> 02:30:14,400
a. Thank you.

3679
02:30:14,400 --> 02:30:16,400
>> thank

3680
02:30:16,400 --> 02:30:19,400
you. Domanic. Next we have wendy followed

3681
02:30:19,400 --> 02:30:21,400
by

3682
02:30:22,400 --> 02:30:23,400
christina. Welcome.

3683
02:30:23,400 --> 02:30:25,400
>> good

3684
02:30:25,400 --> 02:30:26,400
evening everyone. My name is dr. Wendy

3685
02:30:26,400 --> 02:30:28,400
hui. I'm

3686
02:30:28,400 --> 02:30:31,400
here to ask you my city leader

3687
02:30:31,400 --> 02:30:33,400
to support measure a. I'm a

3688
02:30:33,400 --> 02:30:34,400
pediatrician at valley health center. Some

3689
02:30:34,400 --> 02:30:36,400
of

3690
02:30:37,400 --> 02:30:38,400
my patients are city residents. But the

3691
02:30:38,400 --> 02:30:40,400
two closer clinic

3692
02:30:41,400 --> 02:30:43,400
that's serve our city

3693
02:30:43,400 --> 02:30:46,400
residents are in sunnyvale across

3694
02:30:46,400 --> 02:30:48,400
from the main medical center. I helped

3695
02:30:48,400 --> 02:30:50,400
train the next generation of doctor

3696
02:30:50,400 --> 02:30:52,400
ins our clinic by

3697
02:30:52,400 --> 02:30:54,400
working with trainees from stanford. Santa

3698
02:30:54,400 --> 02:30:56,400
clara valley health care trained many

3699
02:30:56,400 --> 02:30:59,400
of the practicing doctors in our

3700
02:30:59,400 --> 02:31:01,400
community. There is a very

3701
02:31:01,400 --> 02:31:03,400
good chance one of your own doctors

3702
02:31:03,400 --> 02:31:05,400
was trained in our system. The expected

3703
02:31:05,400 --> 02:31:06,400
cut you heard

3704
02:31:06,400 --> 02:31:08,400
already affects our city residents

3705
02:31:08,400 --> 02:31:10,400
of all

3706
02:31:10,400 --> 02:31:12,400
incomes and insurance. County runs

3707
02:31:12,400 --> 02:31:13,400
clinics like mine. Keep our residents

3708
02:31:13,400 --> 02:31:14,400
healthy and productive. This hospital

3709
02:31:14,400 --> 02:31:16,400
are

3710
02:31:17,400 --> 02:31:19,400
there for our

3711
02:31:20,400 --> 02:31:22,400
worst

3712
02:31:23,400 --> 02:31:25,400
days. Pmc is our closest trauma

3713
02:31:25,400 --> 02:31:26,400
center and you heard about the burn

3714
02:31:26,400 --> 02:31:28,400
center. Those

3715
02:31:29,400 --> 02:31:30,400
of

3716
02:31:30,400 --> 02:31:31,400
with commercial based good insurance

3717
02:31:31,400 --> 02:31:34,400
o'connor hospital you heard about

3718
02:31:34,400 --> 02:31:35,400
is also the closest to my home and

3719
02:31:35,400 --> 02:31:37,400
I

3720
02:31:38,400 --> 02:31:39,400
was recently treated there when I

3721
02:31:39,400 --> 02:31:41,400
fell

3722
02:31:41,400 --> 02:31:44,400
ill. Especially said I went

3723
02:31:44,400 --> 02:31:46,400
there because I saw

3724
02:31:46,400 --> 02:31:47,400
the wait. My father who passed away

3725
02:31:47,400 --> 02:31:49,400
from covid in

3726
02:31:49,400 --> 02:31:51,800
2020 received his specialized care

3727
02:31:52,400 --> 02:31:53,400
at valley medical center. The cut you

3728
02:31:53,400 --> 02:31:54,400
felt

3729
02:31:54,400 --> 02:31:56,400
already, everyone in all the hospital

3730
02:31:56,400 --> 02:31:57,400
ins the area will be

3731
02:31:57,400 --> 02:31:59,400
affected. Measure a is something we

3732
02:31:59,400 --> 02:32:01,400
can do locally

3733
02:32:01,400 --> 02:32:05,400
to mitigate these deep cuts. I worry

3734
02:32:05,400 --> 02:32:07,400
a

3735
02:32:08,400 --> 02:32:10,400
lot about access to

3736
02:32:10,400 --> 02:32:11,400
care. This may lead to longer wait

3737
02:32:11,400 --> 02:32:13,400
time for

3738
02:32:13,400 --> 02:32:14,400
everyone. In emergency room due to

3739
02:32:14,400 --> 02:32:16,400
preventable issues

3740
02:32:16,400 --> 02:32:20,400
that could have been taken care of

3741
02:32:20,400 --> 02:32:22,400
by

3742
02:32:23,400 --> 02:32:25,400
me in the

3743
02:32:26,400 --> 02:32:29,400
clinic. I worry about our

3744
02:32:29,400 --> 02:32:31,400
neighbors

3745
02:32:32,400 --> 02:32:33,400
not getting

3746
02:32:33,400 --> 02:32:35,400
timely care. I'm here again to urge

3747
02:32:35,400 --> 02:32:37,400
you

3748
02:32:38,400 --> 02:32:41,400
to join me. My colleagues

3749
02:32:41,400 --> 02:32:44,400
and many of our collaborators to maintain

3750
02:32:44,400 --> 02:32:46,800
these vital services for

3751
02:32:47,400 --> 02:32:49,400
our

3752
02:32:50,400 --> 02:32:52,400
community. Thank

3753
02:32:53,400 --> 02:32:55,800
you for your time.

3754
02:33:05,400 --> 02:33:07,400
>> that's what you

3755
02:33:08,400 --> 02:33:10,400
want to

3756
02:33:11,400 --> 02:33:15,000
do, you can ask. Go ahead.

3757

3758

02:33:23,400 --> 02:33:25,400
the end of

3761
02:33:29,400 --> 02:33:32,400
the meeting. We have kristina.

02:34:31,400 --> 02:34:34,400
democrat from the republican. In 2019,

3774
02:34:34,400 --> 02:34:35,400
our county hospital and providers

3775
02:34:35,400 --> 02:34:37,800
served as first responders

3776
02:34:38,400 --> 02:34:40,800
to the victims of

3777
02:34:41,400 --> 02:34:44,400
the gilroy garlic festival mass shooting. And again,

3778
02:34:44,400 --> 02:34:46,400
in

3779
02:34:46,400 --> 02:34:47,400
2021, the same provider worked together

3780
02:34:47,400 --> 02:34:50,400
to mobilize to prepare to care

3781
02:34:50,400 --> 02:34:52,400
for

3782
02:34:53,400 --> 02:34:55,400
the mass

3783
02:34:57,400 --> 02:35:00,400
shooting victims. Last year alone

3784
02:35:02,400 --> 02:35:04,400
. We provide

3785
02:35:05,400 --> 02:35:06,400
the service because it is the right

3786
02:35:06,400 --> 02:35:07,400
thing to

3787
02:35:07,400 --> 02:35:08,400
do for our county. It is what I would

3788
02:35:08,400 --> 02:35:11,400
want for each and every

3789
02:35:11,400 --> 02:35:13,400
one of you in this

3790
02:35:13,400 --> 02:35:14,400
room. Without measure a, we will see

3791
02:35:14,400 --> 02:35:16,400
limited

3792
02:35:16,400 --> 02:35:17,400
access to emergency care, trauma care,

3793
02:35:17,400 --> 02:35:20,400
mental health care, along with

3794
02:35:20,400 --> 02:35:22,800
first class rehab and

3795
02:35:23,400 --> 02:35:26,400
burn care. Measure a is

3796
02:35:26,400 --> 02:35:28,400
pivotal

3797
02:35:29,400 --> 02:35:31,800
to our public safety.

3798
02:35:50,400 --> 02:35:51,400
>> I am lisa hughes. I'm a resident

3799
02:35:51,400 --> 02:35:53,400
here in

3800
02:35:53,400 --> 02:35:55,400
santa clara for the last

3801
02:35:55,400 --> 02:35:56,400
15 years. And, like my colleagues

3802
02:35:56,400 --> 02:35:58,800
before me, I'm on

3803
02:35:59,400 --> 02:36:01,800
here tonight to support

3804
02:36:02,400 --> 02:36:04,400
measure a. And

3805
02:36:05,400 --> 02:36:06,400
ask for your support. And endorsing

3806
02:36:06,400 --> 02:36:08,400
it. The federal like

3807
02:36:08,400 --> 02:36:10,400
we heard, the federal cuts are

3808
02:36:10,400 --> 02:36:11,400
coming. The federal health care cuts,

3809
02:36:11,400 --> 02:36:13,400
left a billion

3810
02:36:14,400 --> 02:36:15,400
dollar hole in our county's budget

3811
02:36:15,400 --> 02:36:17,400
without measure

3812
02:36:17,400 --> 02:36:19,800
as, hospitals will close,

3813
02:36:21,400 --> 02:36:23,400
the ers

3814
02:36:23,400 --> 02:36:24,400
will shut their doors. Mental health care

3815
02:36:24,400 --> 02:36:25,400
will

3816
02:36:25,400 --> 02:36:27,400
vanish which is pretty scary given

3817
02:36:27,400 --> 02:36:29,400
the santa clara

3818
02:36:30,400 --> 02:36:32,400
county is declared

3819
02:36:34,400 --> 02:36:36,400
a mental health crisis. Santa clara

3820
02:36:36,400 --> 02:36:38,400
valley health

3821
02:36:39,400 --> 02:36:40,400
is also a major player

3822
02:36:40,400 --> 02:36:41,400
in our community. The county employs

3823
02:36:41,400 --> 02:36:44,400
over 22,000 individuals like myself. Some

3824
02:36:45,400 --> 02:36:48,400
of us do live in santa

3825
02:36:48,400 --> 02:36:50,800
clara. The city of

3826
02:36:51,400 --> 02:36:53,400
santa

3827
02:36:54,400 --> 02:36:56,400
clara. This

3828
02:37:00,400 --> 02:37:02,800
affects all of us.

3829
02:37:03,400 --> 02:37:04,400
they crowd into other

3830
02:37:04,400 --> 02:37:06,400
hospitals. Like kaiser, stanford. El

3831
02:37:06,400 --> 02:37:07,400
camino. This leaves us skyrocketing

3832
02:37:07,400 --> 02:37:09,400
wait times. Decline in the quality

3833
02:37:09,400 --> 02:37:11,400
of care. Those with private insurance

3834
02:37:11,400 --> 02:37:14,400
will experience longer wait times

3835
02:37:18,400 --> 02:37:21,400
and higher costs even. Greater

3836
02:37:21,400 --> 02:37:23,400
distances. Please

3837
02:37:24,400 --> 02:37:26,400
ask

3838
02:37:27,400 --> 02:37:28,400
for your endorsement.

3839
02:37:28,400 --> 02:37:30,400
>> thank

3840
02:37:33,400 --> 02:37:35,400
you. Edward.

3841
02:37:36,400 --> 02:37:38,800
unmute yourself please. Edward?

3842
02:37:39,400 --> 02:37:41,400
>> I want

3843
02:37:42,400 --> 02:37:45,400
to say I'm glad I don't eat cheerios. One

3844
02:37:45,400 --> 02:37:48,400
thing I want to mention is

3845
02:37:48,400 --> 02:37:51,400
that I would not want them to crap

3846
02:37:51,400 --> 02:37:53,400
on howard's hot dogs. But I will delete

3847
02:37:53,400 --> 02:37:54,400
that message. He is right. I shouldn't

3848
02:37:54,400 --> 02:37:56,400
have

3849
02:37:57,400 --> 02:37:59,400
put that message

3850
02:38:00,400 --> 02:38:03,400
there. About the nfl. Of course

3851
02:38:03,400 --> 02:38:05,400
my

3852
02:38:09,400 --> 02:38:12,400
opinion. About it being faked.

3853
02:38:15,400 --> 02:38:17,400
there is

3854
02:38:18,400 --> 02:38:19,400
a reason people

3855
02:38:19,400 --> 02:38:21,400
are angry. But look at how politicians

3856
02:38:21,400 --> 02:38:23,800
have wasted so much

3857
02:38:24,400 --> 02:38:27,400
money in our country. And put us

3858
02:38:27,400 --> 02:38:29,400
in dire straits. The

3859
02:38:29,400 --> 02:38:32,400
crops, it's just unbelievable. They

3860
02:38:32,400 --> 02:38:35,400
really have to stop. There's a lot

3861
02:38:35,400 --> 02:38:36,400
of politicians that are corrupt. And

3862
02:38:36,400 --> 02:38:38,400
have tried

3863
02:38:39,400 --> 02:38:41,400
to

3864
02:38:42,400 --> 02:38:43,400
help destroy this country.

3865
02:38:43,400 --> 02:38:44,400
>>

3866
02:38:44,400 --> 02:38:48,400
thank you. So next is iphone. I'm

3867
02:38:48,400 --> 02:38:51,400

02:39:26,400 --> 02:39:27,400
members including council member suds

for governor are also city elected

3886
02:39:36,400 --> 02:39:39,400
positions have been active participants

3887
02:39:39,400 --> 02:39:42,400
in the thursday morning coffee

3888
02:39:42,400 --> 02:39:45,400
chats at sarah's kitchen for

3889
02:39:45,400 --> 02:39:46,400
a long

3890
02:39:46,400 --> 02:39:48,400
many years. Residents regularly bring

3891
02:39:48,400 --> 02:39:50,400
concerns and

3892
02:39:51,400 --> 02:39:53,400
discussion to the

3893
02:39:54,400 --> 02:39:56,400
coffee chats. Meetings

3894
02:39:57,400 --> 02:39:59,400
especially

3895
02:40:00,400 --> 02:40:02,400
those affecting

3896
02:40:03,400 --> 02:40:05,400
district 5. Those

3897
02:40:05,400 --> 02:40:08,400
behind the recall of councilmember

3898
02:40:09,400 --> 02:40:11,400
jain

3899
02:40:12,400 --> 02:40:14,400
have never once

3900
02:40:14,400 --> 02:40:15,400
attended these open forums to listen

3901
02:40:15,400 --> 02:40:17,400
or

3902
02:40:18,400 --> 02:40:20,800
engage. Up until a

3903
02:40:21,400 --> 02:40:23,400
few months ago, councilmember jain

3904
02:40:23,400 --> 02:40:24,400
also had monthly zoom meetings specifically

3905
02:40:24,400 --> 02:40:26,400
to hear

3906
02:40:27,400 --> 02:40:29,400
and discuss

3907
02:40:29,400 --> 02:40:30,400
district 5 matters. To suggest he

3908
02:40:30,400 --> 02:40:32,400
does

3909
02:40:33,400 --> 02:40:35,400
not care

3910
02:40:36,400 --> 02:40:38,400
about his constituents

3911
02:40:39,400 --> 02:40:41,400
is simply not

3912
02:40:42,400 --> 02:40:45,400
accurate. Moreover, several of the

3913
02:40:45,400 --> 02:40:47,400
criticisms raised such

3914
02:40:48,400 --> 02:40:50,800
as votes on salaries,

3915
02:40:51,400 --> 02:40:53,400
contracts. Overlook the

3916
02:40:54,400 --> 02:40:56,400
fact that

3917
02:40:57,400 --> 02:40:59,400
he

3918
02:41:00,400 --> 02:41:02,800
is not one vote

3919
02:41:06,400 --> 02:41:07,400
.

3920
02:41:07,400 --> 02:41:09,400

02:41:09,400 --> 02:41:12,400

02:42:43,400 --> 02:42:44,400
into this country

3964
02:42:44,400 --> 02:42:48,000
from china and contain toxic chemicals

3965
02:42:49,400 --> 02:42:51,400
that

3966
02:42:52,400 --> 02:42:55,400
are not fda approved. The

3967
02:42:55,400 --> 02:42:57,400
owner of broncos den are so

3968
02:42:57,400 --> 02:42:59,400
brazen that they use their public

3969
02:42:59,400 --> 02:43:01,400
page on google, the google business

3970
02:43:01,400 --> 02:43:03,400
page to argue

3971
02:43:04,400 --> 02:43:06,800
with customers about pricings,

3972
02:43:07,400 --> 02:43:09,400
about these illegal items. Most

3973
02:43:09,400 --> 02:43:13,000
troubling is that we notice there's

3974
02:43:13,400 --> 02:43:15,400
a number of

3975
02:43:15,400 --> 02:43:16,400
teenagers coming to the establishment

3976
02:43:16,400 --> 02:43:18,400
and that

3977
02:43:21,400 --> 02:43:22,400
also endangers the health and safety

3978
02:43:22,400 --> 02:43:23,400
of our

3979
02:43:23,400 --> 02:43:25,400
children. There is question about

3980
02:43:25,400 --> 02:43:28,400
the proximity of the schools

3981
02:43:28,400 --> 02:43:31,400
and the zoning. You know, in santa

3982
02:43:31,400 --> 02:43:32,400
clara, you guys had

3983
02:43:32,400 --> 02:43:34,400
proposed a smoke-free santa clara

3984
02:43:34,400 --> 02:43:36,400
plan and in

3985
02:43:36,400 --> 02:43:37,400
that plan, you were going to buffer

3986
02:43:37,400 --> 02:43:39,400
these kinds

3987
02:43:40,400 --> 02:43:42,400
of

3988
02:43:43,400 --> 02:43:44,400
businesses

3989
02:43:44,400 --> 02:43:46,400
away from schools. This establishment

3990
02:43:46,400 --> 02:43:48,400
is 600 feet

3991
02:43:49,400 --> 02:43:51,400
away from another

3992
02:43:52,400 --> 02:43:53,400
smoke shop. It is only 600

3993
02:43:53,400 --> 02:43:55,400
feet away from two preschools. So

3994
02:43:55,400 --> 02:43:56,400
I wanted

3995
02:43:56,400 --> 02:43:58,400
to ask that you please impose hard

3996
02:43:58,400 --> 02:44:01,400
fines and penalties if they

3997
02:44:01,400 --> 02:44:03,400
are found to

3998
02:44:03,400 --> 02:44:04,400
be engaging in illegal activities. Revoke

3999
02:44:04,400 --> 02:44:05,400
the

4000
02:44:05,400 --> 02:44:07,400
business license for repeat offenders

4001
02:44:07,400 --> 02:44:08,400
and remove businesses that fall

4002
02:44:08,400 --> 02:44:10,400
been these buffers of your plan and

4003
02:44:10,400 --> 02:44:12,800
I would like to

4004
02:44:13,400 --> 02:44:15,400
ask

4005
02:44:16,400 --> 02:44:18,400
if you

4006
02:44:19,400 --> 02:44:21,400
have

4007
02:44:21,400 --> 02:44:22,400
approved the plan yet.

4008
02:44:22,400 --> 02:44:23,400
>> we don't

4009
02:44:23,400 --> 02:44:24,400
engage with public presentations

4010
02:44:24,400 --> 02:44:25,400
but what I can tell you, louisiana,

4011
02:44:25,400 --> 02:44:27,400
is our city

4012
02:44:27,400 --> 02:44:28,400
manager is taking down the information

4013
02:44:28,400 --> 02:44:29,400

4014
02:44:29,400 --> 02:44:33,000
see online our assistant police chief

4015
02:44:34,400 --> 02:44:36,400

4016
02:44:37,400 --> 02:44:39,400
listening

4017
02:44:40,400 --> 02:44:42,800
to this right now.

4018
02:45:04,400 --> 02:45:06,400
>> okay, thank

4019
02:45:06,400 --> 02:45:07,400

4020
02:45:07,400 --> 02:45:09,400

4021
02:45:10,400 --> 02:45:12,800

4022
02:45:13,400 --> 02:45:15,400

4024
02:45:16,400 --> 02:45:17,400
>> she

4025
02:45:17,400 --> 02:45:18,400
lowered her hand.

4026
02:45:18,400 --> 02:45:19,400
>> who

4027
02:45:19,400 --> 02:45:20,400
is that?

4028
02:45:20,400 --> 02:45:21,400
>> it was shelly but she

4029
02:45:21,400 --> 02:45:22,400

4030
02:45:22,400 --> 02:45:23,400

take the moment to recognize the incredible

4102
02:48:08,400 --> 02:48:10,400
work of

4103
02:48:11,400 --> 02:48:13,400
the staff team that has started

4104
02:48:13,400 --> 02:48:15,400
this effort before I joined. Their

4105
02:48:15,400 --> 02:48:17,400
dedication, creativity and collaboration

4106
02:48:17,400 --> 02:48:18,400
laid the foundation

4107
02:48:18,400 --> 02:48:20,400
for the presentation tonight. The

4108
02:48:20,400 --> 02:48:21,400
project has been driven

4109
02:48:21,400 --> 02:48:23,400
by their commitment to showcasing

4110
02:48:23,400 --> 02:48:25,400
santa clara at its very

4111
02:48:25,400 --> 02:48:27,400
best and I want to sincerely thank

4112
02:48:27,400 --> 02:48:29,400
them for their effort. And thoughtfulness

4113
02:48:29,400 --> 02:48:31,400
in bringing us

4114
02:48:32,400 --> 02:48:34,400
to this exciting

4115
02:48:35,400 --> 02:48:37,400
point. I wanted

4116
02:48:38,400 --> 02:48:40,400
to introduce

4117
02:48:41,400 --> 02:48:42,400
alicia knight, janine desla vega

4118
02:48:42,400 --> 02:48:44,400
and david knight. And we had a bit

4119
02:48:44,400 --> 02:48:46,400
of a

4120
02:48:46,400 --> 02:48:50,000
change on the representation. It will

4121
02:48:50,400 --> 02:48:52,800
be sonja anderson and

4122
02:48:53,400 --> 02:48:55,400
justin bronson

4123
02:48:56,400 --> 02:48:58,400
from zo agency. So, before

4124
02:48:58,400 --> 02:48:59,400
we get into this slogan and logo,

4125
02:48:59,400 --> 02:49:02,400
we wanted to brief on what

4126
02:49:02,400 --> 02:49:04,400
was done

4127
02:49:05,400 --> 02:49:07,800
the last time santa

4128
02:49:08,400 --> 02:49:09,400
clara hosted the super bowl. In

4129
02:49:09,400 --> 02:49:11,400
2016, santa clara launched the slogan,

4130
02:49:11,400 --> 02:49:13,400
the

4131
02:49:13,400 --> 02:49:14,400
center of what's possible. With supporting

4132
02:49:14,400 --> 02:49:16,400
some tag

4133
02:49:16,400 --> 02:49:17,400
lines to highlight local pride and showcase

4134
02:49:17,400 --> 02:49:19,400
the community

4135
02:49:19,400 --> 02:49:20,400
during super bowl 50. The event demonstrated

4136
02:49:20,400 --> 02:49:22,400
how brandy

4137
02:49:23,400 --> 02:49:25,400
can engage residents and welcome visitors

4138
02:49:25,400 --> 02:49:26,400
while telling santa clara's story. As

4139
02:49:26,400 --> 02:49:28,400
we look ahead

4140
02:49:29,400 --> 02:49:30,400
for 2026, we build on

4141
02:49:30,400 --> 02:49:32,400
that foundation. With an even greater

4142
02:49:32,400 --> 02:49:33,400
opportunity since we

4143
02:49:33,400 --> 02:49:35,400
are hosting both events. Ensuring

4144
02:49:35,400 --> 02:49:37,400
that santa clara

4145
02:49:38,400 --> 02:49:40,400
meets a moment as we host

4146
02:49:40,400 --> 02:49:41,400
super bowl and fifa. The slogan and

4147
02:49:41,400 --> 02:49:43,400
logo campaign

4148
02:49:43,400 --> 02:49:46,400
being presented tonight are being developed

4149
02:49:46,400 --> 02:49:48,400
specifically to derive community engagement

4150
02:49:48,400 --> 02:49:50,400
around the upcoming major events. However,

4151
02:49:50,400 --> 02:49:51,400
just

4152
02:49:51,400 --> 02:49:53,400
as the last slogan carried forward

4153
02:49:53,400 --> 02:49:55,400
beyond super bowl

4154
02:49:55,400 --> 02:49:56,400
50, there is opportunity for this

4155
02:49:56,400 --> 02:49:58,400
new slogan

4156
02:49:59,400 --> 02:50:02,400
to continue serving santa clara beyond,

4157
02:50:02,400 --> 02:50:03,400
or well into the future. While

4158
02:50:03,400 --> 02:50:05,400
its primary focus is rallying pride and

4159
02:50:05,400 --> 02:50:07,400
presentation for

4160
02:50:08,400 --> 02:50:11,400
the super bowl and fifa world

4161
02:50:11,400 --> 02:50:14,400
cup, it would be a

4162
02:50:14,400 --> 02:50:16,400
lasting

4163
02:50:17,400 --> 02:50:19,400
partner

4164
02:50:20,400 --> 02:50:21,400
of the city's idea. The economic

4165
02:50:21,400 --> 02:50:23,400
development and communications committee into

4166
02:50:23,400 --> 02:50:24,400
the economic development and

4167
02:50:24,400 --> 02:50:28,000
marketing ad hoc committee. This was

4168
02:50:29,400 --> 02:50:32,400
established for the duration of

4169
02:50:32,400 --> 02:50:34,400
2025. Focused on the

4170
02:50:35,400 --> 02:50:37,400
city's developmenting marketing

4171
02:50:38,400 --> 02:50:40,800
initiatives. The committed formed

4172
02:50:41,400 --> 02:50:43,400
the major events

4173
02:50:44,400 --> 02:50:47,400
task force. For upcoming major

4174
02:50:47,400 --> 02:50:48,400
events. The task force aims to ensure

4175
02:50:48,400 --> 02:50:49,400
coordinated

4176
02:50:49,400 --> 02:50:52,400
community experiences to reflect the city's

4177
02:50:52,400 --> 02:50:53,400
values while enhancing santa clara's

4178
02:50:53,400 --> 02:50:55,400
visibility on the

4179
02:50:55,400 --> 02:50:56,400
global stage. The committee has been

4180
02:50:56,400 --> 02:50:58,400
actively hosting meetings

4181
02:50:58,400 --> 02:50:59,400
to gather input on potential events

4182
02:50:59,400 --> 02:51:00,400
and ton branding

4183
02:51:00,400 --> 02:51:02,400
campaign including the development

4184
02:51:02,400 --> 02:51:04,400
of the

4185
02:51:05,400 --> 02:51:07,400
slogan and logo. I would

4186
02:51:07,400 --> 02:51:11,400
like to have knight present the process

4187
02:51:11,400 --> 02:51:13,400
taken

4188
02:51:14,400 --> 02:51:16,400
for

4189
02:51:20,400 --> 02:51:22,800
community and committee input.

4190
02:51:25,400 --> 02:51:26,400
>> good evening. I have had the pleasure

4191
02:51:26,400 --> 02:51:28,400
of conducting the

4192
02:51:29,400 --> 02:51:32,400
workshops with the economic development

4193
02:51:32,400 --> 02:51:35,400
and ad hoc committee. Over the

4194
02:51:35,400 --> 02:51:37,400
past few months the economic

4195
02:51:37,400 --> 02:51:38,400
development and the community stake

4196
02:51:38,400 --> 02:51:40,400
holders have

4197
02:51:40,400 --> 02:51:41,400
worked to identify shared goals and

4198
02:51:41,400 --> 02:51:43,400
interests

4199
02:51:44,400 --> 02:51:46,400
on

4200
02:51:47,400 --> 02:51:50,400
the community engagement major event campaign

4201
02:51:50,400 --> 02:51:52,400
which includes identification

4202
02:51:52,400 --> 02:51:53,400
of branding, logo, slogan. You may

4203
02:51:53,400 --> 02:51:55,400
hear me say

4204
02:51:56,400 --> 02:51:58,400
slogo

4205
02:51:59,400 --> 02:52:01,800
tonight. That is not

4206
02:52:02,400 --> 02:52:03,400
intentional. So just bear with me. The

4207
02:52:03,400 --> 02:52:05,400
activations that will uplift

4208
02:52:05,400 --> 02:52:08,400
the community for the major events

4209
02:52:08,400 --> 02:52:10,400
of 2026. So, the

4210
02:52:10,400 --> 02:52:11,400
first few meetings were used to establish

4211
02:52:11,400 --> 02:52:13,400
the

4212
02:52:14,400 --> 02:52:16,800
role of stake holder

4213
02:52:17,400 --> 02:52:19,800
engagened and discuss the

4214
02:52:20,400 --> 02:52:21,400
shared goal on how the community can

4215
02:52:21,400 --> 02:52:23,400
engage

4216
02:52:23,400 --> 02:52:26,400
and provide true benefit to the

4217
02:52:26,400 --> 02:52:27,400
community in santa clara residents. This

4218
02:52:27,400 --> 02:52:29,400
slide outlines

4219
02:52:29,400 --> 02:52:31,400
the tools used to guide the

4220
02:52:31,400 --> 02:52:33,800
community engagement process. But,

4221
02:52:35,400 --> 02:52:37,400
specific to the

4222
02:52:37,400 --> 02:52:41,000
logo and slogan. First, we conducted

4223
02:52:41,400 --> 02:52:43,400
a

4224
02:52:44,400 --> 02:52:46,800
core values generated survey.

4225
02:52:50,400 --> 02:52:53,400
after one value that captures

4226
02:52:53,400 --> 02:52:55,400
the

4227
02:52:56,400 --> 02:52:57,400
spirit of santa clara. The second

4228
02:52:57,400 --> 02:52:59,400
conducted multiple workshops

4229
02:52:59,400 --> 02:53:01,400
with

4230
02:53:03,400 --> 02:53:05,400
the community

4231
02:53:06,400 --> 02:53:08,800
on branding. Theme and

4232
02:53:09,400 --> 02:53:10,400
slogo. See?

4233
02:53:10,400 --> 02:53:11,400
>>

4234
02:53:11,400 --> 02:53:12,400
how many times? That's one. Yep. So,

4235
02:53:12,400 --> 02:53:14,400
essentially,

4236
02:53:14,400 --> 02:53:15,400
we were taking those values identified

4237
02:53:15,400 --> 02:53:17,400
in the community

4238
02:53:18,400 --> 02:53:21,400
survey and to really help

4239
02:53:21,400 --> 02:53:22,400
generate a unifying

4240
02:53:22,400 --> 02:53:24,400
theme. And message. And then, third,

4241
02:53:24,400 --> 02:53:26,400
we, staff

4242
02:53:26,400 --> 02:53:29,400
worked with a marketing consultant

4243
02:53:30,400 --> 02:53:31,400
to aggregate and compile

4244
02:53:31,400 --> 02:53:33,400
their collective thoughts and transform

4245
02:53:33,400 --> 02:53:35,400
them

4246
02:53:37,400 --> 02:53:39,400
into a brand campaign. That would

4247
02:53:39,400 --> 02:53:41,400
showcase santa clara

4248
02:53:42,400 --> 02:53:44,800
in its community pride

4249
02:53:45,400 --> 02:53:46,400
later in the

4250
02:53:46,400 --> 02:53:48,400
presentation. The first engagement

4251
02:53:48,400 --> 02:53:49,400
strategy that was

4252
02:53:49,400 --> 02:53:53,000
pursued was a community survey. Staff

4253
02:53:53,400 --> 02:53:57,400
asked the community to share one word

4254
02:53:57,400 --> 02:53:59,400
or

4255
02:54:03,400 --> 02:54:06,400
value that have captured. Posted

4256
02:54:06,400 --> 02:54:08,800
on social media. And

4257
02:54:09,400 --> 02:54:11,400
to the city's website. The

4258
02:54:11,400 --> 02:54:15,000
survey was opened between june 30th

4259
02:54:15,400 --> 02:54:17,400
to july

4260
02:54:18,400 --> 02:54:20,400
10th. And the

4261
02:54:21,400 --> 02:54:23,400
survey

4262
02:54:27,400 --> 02:54:29,400
results yielded 335 results.

4263
02:54:30,400 --> 02:54:32,800
diversity receiving 34 votes. Community

4264
02:54:34,400 --> 02:54:36,400
receiving 29 votes. Inclusive or inclusivity

4265
02:54:36,400 --> 02:54:38,400
receiving 16 votes

4266
02:54:39,400 --> 02:54:41,800
and family receiving 12 votes.

4267
02:54:45,400 --> 02:54:46,400
this inspired the spirit of

4268
02:54:46,400 --> 02:54:48,400
the upcoming community events. So,

4269
02:54:48,400 --> 02:54:49,400
staff then

4270
02:54:49,400 --> 02:54:51,400
generated the following base statements

4271
02:54:51,400 --> 02:54:54,400
that were intended to pair

4272
02:54:54,400 --> 02:54:57,400
with the community values that

4273
02:54:57,400 --> 02:54:59,400
were identified via

4274
02:55:00,400 --> 02:55:02,400
the

4275
02:55:02,400 --> 02:55:05,400
survey. And the committee members.

4276
02:55:09,400 --> 02:55:11,800
number three. Our city,

4277
02:55:12,400 --> 02:55:14,400
our blank, our game. Or the

4278
02:55:14,400 --> 02:55:15,400
last where blank meets the blank. The

4279
02:55:15,400 --> 02:55:17,400
goal of

4280
02:55:17,400 --> 02:55:18,400
this workshop was to generate the

4281
02:55:18,400 --> 02:55:20,400
top three

4282
02:55:20,400 --> 02:55:21,400
value statements that will inform the

4283
02:55:21,400 --> 02:55:23,400
theme

4284
02:55:24,400 --> 02:55:26,400
and the

4285
02:55:26,400 --> 02:55:27,400
slogan and logo. For 2026 events. The group

4286
02:55:27,400 --> 02:55:29,400
was

4287
02:55:30,400 --> 02:55:32,400
provided a full

4288
02:55:32,400 --> 02:55:33,400
list of values with the highest frequencies. They

4289
02:55:33,400 --> 02:55:35,400
then identified

4290
02:55:36,400 --> 02:55:37,400
their top values and coupled them

4291
02:55:37,400 --> 02:55:38,400
with

4292
02:55:38,400 --> 02:55:39,400
the top three base statements which

4293
02:55:39,400 --> 02:55:41,800
were the statements that

4294
02:55:42,400 --> 02:55:43,400
you see on the screen. Based on this

4295
02:55:43,400 --> 02:55:44,400
feedback, the

4296
02:55:44,400 --> 02:55:45,400
group generated their top three value

4297
02:55:45,400 --> 02:55:47,800
statements and then voted

4298
02:55:48,400 --> 02:55:51,400
on the top three statements that

4299
02:55:51,400 --> 02:55:53,400
aligned with those values. So, what

4300
02:55:53,400 --> 02:55:54,400
you see here are the following base

4301
02:55:54,400 --> 02:55:56,400
statements and

4302
02:55:57,400 --> 02:55:59,400
values that

4303
02:55:59,400 --> 02:56:00,400
were generated by the group. These value statements

4304
02:56:00,400 --> 02:56:02,400
are rooted in

4305
02:56:03,400 --> 02:56:05,400
the heart of santa

4306
02:56:05,400 --> 02:56:06,400
clara. Each one reflects what our

4307
02:56:06,400 --> 02:56:08,400
community

4308
02:56:09,400 --> 02:56:11,400
members, partners

4309
02:56:12,400 --> 02:56:14,400
and stake holders

4310
02:56:15,400 --> 02:56:17,800
just defines us. Passion

4311
02:56:18,400 --> 02:56:20,400
just

4312
02:56:21,400 --> 02:56:22,400
exists for our city. With so

4313
02:56:22,400 --> 02:56:24,400
many voices and priorities represented

4314
02:56:24,400 --> 02:56:26,400
it

4315
02:56:26,400 --> 02:56:27,400
is difficult to capture everything

4316
02:56:27,400 --> 02:56:30,400
in one phrase. So every statement

4317
02:56:30,400 --> 02:56:32,800
that you see on

4318
02:56:33,400 --> 02:56:35,800
the screen is powerful

4319
02:56:36,400 --> 02:56:38,400
but each emphasizes a

4320
02:56:38,400 --> 02:56:39,400
different aspect of santa clara's

4321
02:56:39,400 --> 02:56:41,800
identity. This is a

4322
02:56:42,400 --> 02:56:44,400
natural outcome of

4323
02:56:44,400 --> 02:56:47,400
a multistake holder process. Where

4324
02:56:48,400 --> 02:56:50,400
diversity and

4325
02:56:51,400 --> 02:56:53,800
ideas are valued. And

4326
02:56:54,400 --> 02:56:56,400
because the community's

4327
02:56:57,400 --> 02:56:59,400
input,

4328
02:57:00,400 --> 02:57:02,400
excuse

4329
02:57:03,400 --> 02:57:06,400
me. Where am I going? How do I

4330
02:57:06,400 --> 02:57:07,400
get back?

4331
02:57:07,400 --> 02:57:09,400
>> the little one.

4332
02:57:09,400 --> 02:57:11,400
>>

4333
02:57:12,400 --> 02:57:14,400
sorry. We

4334
02:57:15,400 --> 02:57:17,400
are going

4335
02:57:17,400 --> 02:57:18,400
to keep going. Because the community's

4336
02:57:18,400 --> 02:57:20,400
input

4337
02:57:20,400 --> 02:57:21,400
was so rich, staff needed help distilling

4338
02:57:21,400 --> 02:57:23,400
it

4339
02:57:24,400 --> 02:57:26,400
into a unitied

4340
02:57:27,400 --> 02:57:28,400
message. Staff engaged

4341
02:57:28,400 --> 02:57:30,400
a professional marking agency that

4342
02:57:30,400 --> 02:57:32,400
has

4343
02:57:33,400 --> 02:57:35,400
the

4344
02:57:36,400 --> 02:57:37,400
tools and the expertise to translate

4345
02:57:37,400 --> 02:57:39,400
these

4346
02:57:39,400 --> 02:57:42,400
into a slogan and logo that is clear

4347
02:57:42,400 --> 02:57:45,400
and concise. Flexible across the

4348
02:57:45,400 --> 02:57:47,400
campaigns,

4349
02:57:47,400 --> 02:57:48,400
events and different audiences. So

4350
02:57:48,400 --> 02:57:50,400
what's on the screen are the base

4351
02:57:50,400 --> 02:57:51,400
statements the committee worked with

4352
02:57:51,400 --> 02:57:52,400
along with new ones they created themselves

4353
02:57:52,400 --> 02:57:53,400
so

4354
02:57:53,400 --> 02:57:54,400
as you can see here, we started with

4355
02:57:54,400 --> 02:57:56,400
seven and

4356
02:57:57,400 --> 02:57:59,400
we ended with

4357
02:58:00,400 --> 02:58:02,400
11. So

4358
02:58:03,400 --> 02:58:05,400
there was additional

4359
02:58:06,400 --> 02:58:08,400
input. Their

4360
02:58:08,400 --> 02:58:09,400
votes are within. They show the priorities

4361
02:58:09,400 --> 02:58:11,400
that rose

4362
02:58:12,400 --> 02:58:15,400
to the top. And this work gave

4363
02:58:15,400 --> 02:58:18,400
the marting agency a foundation. It's

4364
02:58:18,400 --> 02:58:20,400
community's voice

4365
02:58:21,400 --> 02:58:22,400
that shaped the direction. The final

4366
02:58:22,400 --> 02:58:24,400
logo and slogan

4367
02:58:24,400 --> 02:58:25,400
will not erase these

4368
02:58:25,400 --> 02:58:27,400
values but amplify them. The goal

4369
02:58:27,400 --> 02:58:28,400
was to craft a unifying identity that

4370
02:58:28,400 --> 02:58:30,400
speaks

4371
02:58:30,400 --> 02:58:33,400
to the world while staying true to

4372
02:58:33,400 --> 02:58:35,400
santa clara. This

4373
02:58:36,400 --> 02:58:38,400
ensures

4374
02:58:39,400 --> 02:58:41,400
that

4375
02:58:41,400 --> 02:58:42,400
the community's voices are center. And

4376
02:58:42,400 --> 02:58:44,800
without further ado, I

4377
02:58:45,400 --> 02:58:47,400
will pass it

4378
02:58:48,400 --> 02:58:51,400
to janine, our public information

4379
02:58:51,400 --> 02:58:53,400
officer who has been working

4380
02:58:53,400 --> 02:58:54,400
on the slogan and logo strategy and

4381
02:58:54,400 --> 02:58:56,400
journey

4382
02:58:57,400 --> 02:58:59,400
that

4383
02:58:59,400 --> 02:59:03,600
the staff wept through to synthesize the

4384
02:59:05,400 --> 02:59:06,400
data. Thank you all.

4385
02:59:06,400 --> 02:59:07,400
>> thank you. >> I

4386
02:59:07,400 --> 02:59:09,400
don't want to

4387
02:59:09,400 --> 02:59:12,400
make that same mistake. Good evening

4388
02:59:12,400 --> 02:59:14,400
mayor and

4389
02:59:15,400 --> 02:59:16,400
council. Let's get to it. So. All

4390
02:59:16,400 --> 02:59:18,400
of

4391
02:59:18,400 --> 02:59:22,000
that community input that we received,

4392
02:59:22,400 --> 02:59:23,400
the feedback

4393
02:59:23,400 --> 02:59:25,400
from the community values survey,

4394
02:59:25,400 --> 02:59:27,400
we wanted to make sure that was

4395
02:59:27,400 --> 02:59:28,400
all synthesized and make sure that

4396
02:59:28,400 --> 02:59:30,400
it blended

4397
02:59:30,400 --> 02:59:32,400
along with our brand eco system so

4398
02:59:32,400 --> 02:59:34,400
that is why we brought on a marketing

4399
02:59:34,400 --> 02:59:36,400
agency to help

4400
02:59:37,400 --> 02:59:40,400
us with that. One of the

4401
02:59:40,400 --> 02:59:42,400
first exercises they did is

4402
02:59:42,400 --> 02:59:43,400
what archetype is santa clara. Think

4403
02:59:43,400 --> 02:59:45,400
of a

4404
02:59:45,400 --> 02:59:46,400
character. Do we want to be known

4405
02:59:46,400 --> 02:59:49,400
as the host? Do we

4406
02:59:49,400 --> 02:59:52,400
want to be known as

4407
02:59:52,400 --> 02:59:53,400
the

4408
02:59:53,400 --> 02:59:55,400
neighbor? The underdog? A catalyst? A

4409
02:59:55,400 --> 02:59:58,400
bridge? We as staff went through

4410
02:59:58,400 --> 03:00:00,400
that exercise and

4411
03:00:00,400 --> 03:00:03,400
that workshop with the agency and

4412
03:00:03,400 --> 03:00:04,400
all of us independently ended upcoming

4413
03:00:04,400 --> 03:00:05,400
up with

4414
03:00:05,400 --> 03:00:07,400
those. We wanted to be known as the

4415
03:00:07,400 --> 03:00:10,400
host. A city that doesn't just

4416
03:00:10,400 --> 03:00:13,400
hold events but make you feel at

4417
03:00:13,400 --> 03:00:15,400
home the second you arrive. The bridge.

4418
03:00:15,400 --> 03:00:16,400
the link between tradition and future. Between

4419
03:00:16,400 --> 03:00:17,400
local pride

4420
03:00:17,400 --> 03:00:19,400
and a global connection. We also want

4421
03:00:19,400 --> 03:00:22,400
today be known as the

4422
03:00:22,400 --> 03:00:24,400
catalyst that spark

4423
03:00:25,400 --> 03:00:27,400
that turns possibility into

4424
03:00:27,400 --> 03:00:31,000
progress. And makes the future feel

4425
03:00:31,400 --> 03:00:32,400
personal. Questions that

4426
03:00:32,400 --> 03:00:34,400
we also talked about, should santa

4427
03:00:34,400 --> 03:00:36,400
clara

4428
03:00:37,400 --> 03:00:38,400
be in the slogan or depicted in

4429
03:00:38,400 --> 03:00:40,400
the imagery? How do we show the community

4430
03:00:40,400 --> 03:00:43,400
we are a leader and not

4431
03:00:43,400 --> 03:00:46,400
a participant? How does the city

4432
03:00:46,400 --> 03:00:48,400
and community take ownership of

4433
03:00:48,400 --> 03:00:49,400
a moment? How can we instill a sense

4434
03:00:49,400 --> 03:00:50,400
of

4435
03:00:50,400 --> 03:00:52,400
pride and community togetherness and

4436
03:00:52,400 --> 03:00:54,400
should

4437
03:00:55,400 --> 03:00:57,400
sport be

4438
03:00:58,400 --> 03:01:00,400
referenced in

4439
03:01:01,400 --> 03:01:03,800
the slogan? We have

4440
03:01:04,400 --> 03:01:07,400
been at this since july. Here

4441
03:01:07,400 --> 03:01:09,400
are

4442
03:01:10,400 --> 03:01:12,400
slogans

4443
03:01:13,400 --> 03:01:15,400
that

4444
03:01:19,400 --> 03:01:23,000
miss the mark. Gather here. Go

4445
03:01:25,400 --> 03:01:27,400
far.

4446
03:01:34,400 --> 03:01:36,400
with the marketing

4447
03:01:36,400 --> 03:01:37,400
agency. Then. Slogans that really

4448
03:01:37,400 --> 03:01:39,400
came

4449
03:01:40,400 --> 03:01:42,400
close. This

4450
03:01:43,400 --> 03:01:45,400
one

4451
03:01:46,400 --> 03:01:48,800
is an action one.

4452
03:01:55,400 --> 03:01:57,400
global stage

4453
03:01:57,400 --> 03:01:58,400
evokes the prestige of international

4454
03:01:58,400 --> 03:02:00,400
tension. While

4455
03:02:01,400 --> 03:02:03,400
we

4456
03:02:07,400 --> 03:02:09,800
shine really affirms readiness.

4457
03:02:33,400 --> 03:02:37,000
mission and moment. Versatile. Double mean

4458
03:02:37,400 --> 03:02:40,400
ing. It connects the past

4459
03:02:40,400 --> 03:02:42,400
and

4460
03:02:43,400 --> 03:02:48,200
the future. Local and global. Providing that participation.

4461
03:02:52,400 --> 03:02:55,400
so, is slogan we wanted

4462
03:02:55,400 --> 03:02:58,400
to make sure, it pairs with the

4463
03:02:58,400 --> 03:03:01,400
actual logo. There's two things here. They

4464
03:03:01,400 --> 03:03:03,400
were

4465
03:03:04,400 --> 03:03:06,400
meant

4466
03:03:10,400 --> 03:03:12,800
to complement each other.

4467
03:03:16,400 --> 03:03:18,400
should

4468
03:03:22,400 --> 03:03:25,400
we go classic? Or simple?

4469
03:03:28,400 --> 03:03:31,400
this is the recommended logo

4470
03:03:31,400 --> 03:03:34,400
and we will show you the mark

4471
03:03:34,400 --> 03:03:36,400
where

4472
03:03:37,400 --> 03:03:39,400
the

4473
03:03:40,400 --> 03:03:42,800
mission meets the moment.

4474
03:03:52,400 --> 03:03:54,400
the major

4475
03:03:58,400 --> 03:04:00,400
sporting

4476
03:04:01,400 --> 03:04:04,400
events. And we did notice.

4477
03:04:04,400 --> 03:04:06,400
there's photographs

4478
03:04:07,400 --> 03:04:09,400
used. We chose landmarks

4479
03:04:09,400 --> 03:04:10,400
throughout the city. The pavilion. You

4480
03:04:10,400 --> 03:04:12,400
can

4481
03:04:13,400 --> 03:04:15,400
see that

4482
03:04:16,400 --> 03:04:18,400
central

4483
03:04:19,400 --> 03:04:21,400
park. In

4484
03:04:25,400 --> 03:04:28,400
the eye. For the mission.

4485
03:04:28,400 --> 03:04:30,400
levi stadium. That's the city

4486
03:04:30,400 --> 03:04:31,400
rose. The peace rose. That we wanted to

4487
03:04:31,400 --> 03:04:33,400
kind of throw in there. Many

4488
03:04:33,400 --> 03:04:37,600
people might not know that. But we

4489
03:04:38,400 --> 03:04:41,400
have seen it before. Throughout

4490
03:04:41,400 --> 03:04:44,400
the city. It is a picture of

4491
03:04:44,400 --> 03:04:46,400
a

4492
03:04:47,400 --> 03:04:49,400
boy

4493
03:04:53,400 --> 03:04:55,800
kicking a soccer ball.

4494
03:04:59,400 --> 03:05:01,400
it is

4495
03:05:02,400 --> 03:05:04,400
a companion. Shorthand. It

4496
03:05:04,400 --> 03:05:05,400
gives us options for swag. Possibilities. To

4497
03:05:05,400 --> 03:05:06,400
give

4498
03:05:06,400 --> 03:05:08,400
you a little more background on the

4499
03:05:08,400 --> 03:05:11,400
development of this. We are going

4500
03:05:11,400 --> 03:05:14,400
to go to our marketing

4501
03:05:14,400 --> 03:05:15,400
agency. We do have a

4502
03:05:15,400 --> 03:05:17,400
consultant. Our consultant team on

4503
03:05:17,400 --> 03:05:20,400
the line. I do want

4504
03:05:20,400 --> 03:05:22,400
to

4505
03:05:23,400 --> 03:05:26,400
toss it to justin. Justin?

4506
03:05:26,400 --> 03:05:28,400
>>

4507
03:05:29,400 --> 03:05:31,400
do

4508
03:05:32,400 --> 03:05:34,400
we

4509
03:05:38,400 --> 03:05:44,400
see justin? Where is he? Justin? Just unmute yourself, justin.

4510
03:05:44,400 --> 03:05:46,400
there you go.

4511
03:05:47,400 --> 03:05:49,400
>> thank

4512
03:05:50,400 --> 03:05:52,400
you madame

4513
03:05:53,400 --> 03:05:55,400
mayor. Vice

4514
03:05:59,400 --> 03:06:02,400
mayor. City attorney and staff.

4515
03:06:11,400 --> 03:06:14,400
we are ensuring the slogan

4516
03:06:14,400 --> 03:06:16,400
does

4517
03:06:17,400 --> 03:06:19,400
more than just

4518
03:06:19,400 --> 03:06:20,400
sound good. Rhythm, repetition that

4519
03:06:20,400 --> 03:06:22,800
helps words stick. Familiar

4520
03:06:23,400 --> 03:06:24,400
sounds that echo in memory. And using

4521
03:06:24,400 --> 03:06:26,400
words that can mean more than one

4522
03:06:26,400 --> 03:06:27,400
thing at once. This gives us

4523
03:06:27,400 --> 03:06:29,400
confidence we are not just choosing

4524
03:06:29,400 --> 03:06:32,400
language we liked. We are

4525
03:06:32,400 --> 03:06:34,400
choosing something santa

4526
03:06:35,400 --> 03:06:37,400
clara

4527
03:06:41,400 --> 03:06:43,800
could own with pride.

4528
03:06:47,400 --> 03:06:49,800
works because people hear

4529
03:06:50,400 --> 03:06:53,400
more than one meaning in

4530
03:06:53,400 --> 03:06:56,400
it. Mission connects to santa

4531
03:06:56,400 --> 03:06:57,400
clara's identity. As the

4532
03:06:57,400 --> 03:06:58,400
commission city. It suggests purpose. Drive. And

4533
03:06:58,400 --> 03:06:59,400
ambition which are markers of the

4534
03:06:59,400 --> 03:07:01,400
business

4535
03:07:02,400 --> 03:07:04,400
and the

4536
03:07:04,400 --> 03:07:05,400
industries in our community. That's

4537
03:07:05,400 --> 03:07:07,400
why

4538
03:07:07,400 --> 03:07:08,400
the slogan feels layered. It reaches

4539
03:07:08,400 --> 03:07:10,400
back to heritage and

4540
03:07:10,400 --> 03:07:11,400
forward to possibility. All in just

4541
03:07:11,400 --> 03:07:13,400
six words. It

4542
03:07:14,400 --> 03:07:15,400
feels both timeless and timely. Grounded in

4543
03:07:15,400 --> 03:07:17,400
santa

4544
03:07:17,400 --> 03:07:19,400
clara's identity

4545
03:07:19,400 --> 03:07:20,400
and prepared for the moments ahead. The

4546
03:07:20,400 --> 03:07:23,400
logo takes the slogan and

4547
03:07:23,400 --> 03:07:25,400
turns it

4548
03:07:25,400 --> 03:07:26,400
into something you can see. It keeps

4549
03:07:26,400 --> 03:07:28,400
mission at the

4550
03:07:28,400 --> 03:07:29,400
center so civic pride comes first. While

4551
03:07:29,400 --> 03:07:32,400
the rest of the phrase

4552
03:07:32,400 --> 03:07:34,400
is built

4553
03:07:35,400 --> 03:07:37,400
around it. The images are familiar

4554
03:07:37,400 --> 03:07:40,400
landmarks. A pavilion, the stadium. The

4555
03:07:40,400 --> 03:07:41,400
peace rose. Even the circuitry of

4556
03:07:41,400 --> 03:07:42,400
the microchip. Each one ties

4557
03:07:42,400 --> 03:07:44,400
the campaign to recognizable city

4558
03:07:44,400 --> 03:07:46,400
landmarks in

4559
03:07:46,400 --> 03:07:47,400
a way people can instantly recognize. While

4560
03:07:47,400 --> 03:07:49,800
the colors and lay

4561
03:07:50,400 --> 03:07:51,400
out give it a fresh modern feel. These

4562
03:07:51,400 --> 03:07:52,400
bold

4563
03:07:52,400 --> 03:07:53,400
right colors in the foreground really

4564
03:07:53,400 --> 03:07:55,400
stand out

4565
03:07:56,400 --> 03:07:58,400
against a clean white space

4566
03:07:58,400 --> 03:07:59,400
in the background. And that balance

4567
03:07:59,400 --> 03:08:01,800
makes the logo easier

4568
03:08:02,400 --> 03:08:04,400
to read in a glance. The variety

4569
03:08:04,400 --> 03:08:05,400
of colors reflects santa clara's energy

4570
03:08:05,400 --> 03:08:07,400
and diversity. Still

4571
03:08:08,400 --> 03:08:10,400
coming together as one

4572
03:08:10,400 --> 03:08:11,400
unified symbol. This mark is built

4573
03:08:11,400 --> 03:08:13,400
to work anywhere. Whether

4574
03:08:13,400 --> 03:08:14,400
stretched across a stadium banner

4575
03:08:14,400 --> 03:08:16,400
or

4576
03:08:17,400 --> 03:08:19,400
scaled down

4577
03:08:19,400 --> 03:08:20,400
to a phone screen. The strong slogan

4578
03:08:20,400 --> 03:08:21,400
and logo

4579
03:08:21,400 --> 03:08:23,400
do more than identify campaign. They

4580
03:08:23,400 --> 03:08:25,400
give people the

4581
03:08:25,400 --> 03:08:26,400
reason to feel connected. The colors,

4582
03:08:26,400 --> 03:08:28,400
the rhythm

4583
03:08:28,400 --> 03:08:29,400
of the words. The familiar landmarks,

4584
03:08:29,400 --> 03:08:31,400
all of these

4585
03:08:31,400 --> 03:08:32,400
anchor the campaign of what santa

4586
03:08:32,400 --> 03:08:34,400
clara knows

4587
03:08:34,400 --> 03:08:35,400
about itself. What makes them powerful

4588
03:08:35,400 --> 03:08:37,400
is they leave room

4589
03:08:37,400 --> 03:08:38,400
for everyone to see themselves in

4590
03:08:38,400 --> 03:08:41,400
the story. A single phrase,

4591
03:08:41,400 --> 03:08:42,400
a single graphic can carry history,

4592
03:08:42,400 --> 03:08:43,400
ambition,

4593
03:08:43,400 --> 03:08:44,400
belonging all at once. And because

4594
03:08:44,400 --> 03:08:46,400
it doesn't force one meaning,

4595
03:08:46,400 --> 03:08:47,400
people can bring their own experience

4596
03:08:47,400 --> 03:08:49,400
and interpretation

4597
03:08:50,400 --> 03:08:51,400
to it. The lack of resolution is what

4598
03:08:51,400 --> 03:08:52,400
gives

4599
03:08:52,400 --> 03:08:56,400
it reach. A city isn't defined by

4600
03:08:56,400 --> 03:08:58,400
a single logo or

4601
03:08:58,400 --> 03:08:59,400
a line. But when the pieces come together, they

4602
03:08:59,400 --> 03:09:01,400
form a language

4603
03:09:01,400 --> 03:09:02,400
of their own. People who live here

4604
03:09:02,400 --> 03:09:04,800
see something that feels

4605
03:09:05,400 --> 03:09:07,400
familiar and makes them think of

4606
03:09:07,400 --> 03:09:08,400
home. People visiting take something

4607
03:09:08,400 --> 03:09:09,400
with them they won't forget. That's

4608
03:09:09,400 --> 03:09:10,400
the

4609
03:09:10,400 --> 03:09:11,400
moment design becomes a bridge. Carrying the pride

4610
03:09:11,400 --> 03:09:13,400
of

4611
03:09:14,400 --> 03:09:17,400
the city out into the world. And then

4612
03:09:17,400 --> 03:09:20,400
I'm happy to introduce sonya anderson. Our

4613
03:09:20,400 --> 03:09:23,400
ceo and agency director who will

4614
03:09:23,400 --> 03:09:26,400
show us examples of activations. Ways

4615
03:09:26,400 --> 03:09:29,400
that this design system and

4616
03:09:29,400 --> 03:09:31,400
slogan can

4617
03:09:32,400 --> 03:09:33,400
be put to use.

4618
03:09:33,400 --> 03:09:35,400
>>

4619
03:09:35,400 --> 03:09:37,400
I just unmuted myself. Thank you

4620
03:09:37,400 --> 03:09:38,400
justin. Good evening, madame mayor,

4621
03:09:38,400 --> 03:09:40,400
vice mayor,

4622
03:09:41,400 --> 03:09:43,400
council members and city staff. I'm

4623
03:09:43,400 --> 03:09:44,400
sonya anderson and the agency director

4624
03:09:44,400 --> 03:09:47,400
here and I really thank

4625
03:09:47,400 --> 03:09:49,400
you for allowing

4626
03:09:50,400 --> 03:09:52,400
me on behalf

4627
03:09:53,400 --> 03:09:56,400
of our incredible team. In

4628
03:09:56,400 --> 03:09:58,400
collaboration with

4629
03:09:59,400 --> 03:10:02,400
your incredible team. That will elevate

4630
03:10:02,400 --> 03:10:04,400
santa clara

4631
03:10:05,400 --> 03:10:08,400
at the host. All in

4632
03:10:08,400 --> 03:10:10,400
one year. These are

4633
03:10:10,400 --> 03:10:11,400
some mock-ups. Some initial designs

4634
03:10:11,400 --> 03:10:13,400
that we are

4635
03:10:14,400 --> 03:10:16,400
contemplating

4636
03:10:17,400 --> 03:10:19,400
putting into

4637
03:10:20,400 --> 03:10:23,400
action right away. Allow our

4638
03:10:23,400 --> 03:10:25,400
community to

4639
03:10:26,400 --> 03:10:28,400
experience

4640
03:10:29,400 --> 03:10:32,400
and engage with us with

4641
03:10:33,400 --> 03:10:34,400
things like swag. Mugs,

4642
03:10:34,400 --> 03:10:36,400
soccer balls, tee shirt. Just to feel

4643
03:10:36,400 --> 03:10:39,400
that everywhere we go. The

4644
03:10:39,400 --> 03:10:41,400
first activation

4645
03:10:42,400 --> 03:10:44,400
we are looking at. Is really to

4646
03:10:44,400 --> 03:10:45,400
pose santa clara where meaningful

4647
03:10:45,400 --> 03:10:46,400
things

4648
03:10:46,400 --> 03:10:50,400
happen. We really want to make sure

4649
03:10:50,400 --> 03:10:51,400
that the mission meets the moment. And

4650
03:10:51,400 --> 03:10:53,400
when the

4651
03:10:53,400 --> 03:10:57,400
word looks at santa clara, they see

4652
03:10:57,400 --> 03:10:58,400
a

4653
03:10:58,400 --> 03:11:00,400
city where innovation thrives. Community

4654
03:11:00,400 --> 03:11:01,400
matters and extraordinary

4655
03:11:01,400 --> 03:11:02,400
things happen. This is really about

4656
03:11:02,400 --> 03:11:06,000
elevating santa clara. But of course,

4657
03:11:06,400 --> 03:11:09,400
we are the hosts of

4658
03:11:09,400 --> 03:11:10,400
some really big events. This

4659
03:11:10,400 --> 03:11:12,400
right here is the backdrop behind

4660
03:11:12,400 --> 03:11:14,800
the tent so just

4661
03:11:15,400 --> 03:11:17,800
to get you a

4662
03:11:18,400 --> 03:11:20,400
little bit more

4663
03:11:20,400 --> 03:11:21,400
focused into some of the design elements. In

4664
03:11:21,400 --> 03:11:22,400
some of

4665
03:11:22,400 --> 03:11:24,400
the smaller pieces like a magnet or

4666
03:11:24,400 --> 03:11:26,400
a sticker you might just

4667
03:11:26,400 --> 03:11:27,400
get a couple of elements whereas one

4668
03:11:27,400 --> 03:11:28,400
showing

4669
03:11:28,400 --> 03:11:30,400
up in the community space, we can

4670
03:11:30,400 --> 03:11:32,400
introduce

4671
03:11:33,400 --> 03:11:35,400
a

4672
03:11:35,400 --> 03:11:36,400
lot of the elements. What we would

4673
03:11:36,400 --> 03:11:38,400
really

4674
03:11:39,400 --> 03:11:40,400
like to do

4675
03:11:40,400 --> 03:11:42,400
is engage the community. This is more about

4676
03:11:42,400 --> 03:11:44,800
community pride. We love

4677
03:11:45,400 --> 03:11:47,400
santa clara. I

4678
03:11:48,400 --> 03:11:49,400
love santa

4679
03:11:49,400 --> 03:11:51,400
clara. But we also have the football

4680
03:11:51,400 --> 03:11:54,400
version and the soccer session. Some

4681
03:11:54,400 --> 03:11:55,400
would say that is the same

4682
03:11:55,400 --> 03:11:57,400
thing because football is soccer. We

4683
03:11:57,400 --> 03:11:59,400
create

4684
03:12:00,400 --> 03:12:01,400
these signs so when

4685
03:12:01,400 --> 03:12:03,400
we are in community experiences, someone can

4686
03:12:03,400 --> 03:12:06,400
say oh can I have

4687
03:12:06,400 --> 03:12:08,800
one of those? And

4688
03:12:09,400 --> 03:12:11,400
they

4689
03:12:15,400 --> 03:12:18,400
can enjoy and resonate we

4690
03:12:18,400 --> 03:12:20,400
also want

4691
03:12:20,400 --> 03:12:21,400
to create ways for people to participate

4692
03:12:21,400 --> 03:12:22,400
in commercial

4693
03:12:22,400 --> 03:12:26,000
environments. What are all the events

4694
03:12:27,400 --> 03:12:30,400
coming up? What are the types of things

4695
03:12:30,400 --> 03:12:32,400
I can

4696
03:12:32,400 --> 03:12:35,400
get involved in? There will be some teasers

4697
03:12:35,400 --> 03:12:36,400
and unveiling of things that can only be

4698
03:12:36,400 --> 03:12:38,400
found

4699
03:12:38,400 --> 03:12:40,400
this way. So we want people to experience

4700
03:12:40,400 --> 03:12:41,400
it wherever they go. We certainly

4701
03:12:41,400 --> 03:12:42,400
want our local businesses to get on

4702
03:12:42,400 --> 03:12:44,400
board

4703
03:12:45,400 --> 03:12:46,400
and

4704
03:12:46,400 --> 03:12:48,400
get really excited about it. This

4705
03:12:48,400 --> 03:12:50,400
is an example of an

4706
03:12:50,400 --> 03:12:51,400
array of the types of things that

4707
03:12:51,400 --> 03:12:53,400
we can

4708
03:12:54,400 --> 03:12:56,400
use in a

4709
03:12:56,400 --> 03:12:57,400
suite. So this is where we have as

4710
03:12:57,400 --> 03:12:59,400
janine said

4711
03:12:59,400 --> 03:13:00,400
the full logo where the mission meets

4712
03:13:00,400 --> 03:13:01,400
the moment. The

4713
03:13:01,400 --> 03:13:04,400
mark. Sometimes you need something

4714
03:13:05,400 --> 03:13:09,000
a little more concise. Smaller. One

4715
03:13:09,400 --> 03:13:11,400
color. Easy to

4716
03:13:11,400 --> 03:13:12,400
use. These are ways we can influence

4717
03:13:12,400 --> 03:13:14,400
where

4718
03:13:15,400 --> 03:13:17,400
people recognize the

4719
03:13:18,400 --> 03:13:19,400
colors and the specific type

4720
03:13:19,400 --> 03:13:21,400
font wherever they go. And I think

4721
03:13:21,400 --> 03:13:23,400
that's it. I think that's our

4722
03:13:23,400 --> 03:13:24,400
last slide. These are just samples. We

4723
03:13:24,400 --> 03:13:26,400
have a

4724
03:13:27,400 --> 03:13:28,400
lot more dehind the

4725
03:13:28,400 --> 03:13:29,400
scenes we have been working on.

4726
03:13:29,400 --> 03:13:30,400
>>

4727
03:13:30,400 --> 03:13:32,400
and

4728
03:13:33,400 --> 03:13:36,400
we just want to make

4729
03:13:36,400 --> 03:13:38,400
sure that it is

4730
03:13:38,400 --> 03:13:42,000
clear that changes or requests, our

4731
03:13:42,400 --> 03:13:44,400
team

4732
03:13:45,400 --> 03:13:47,400
is ready

4733
03:13:47,400 --> 03:13:48,400
to move forward. Many requested changes

4734
03:13:48,400 --> 03:13:50,400
would impact

4735
03:13:51,400 --> 03:13:53,400
a

4736
03:13:54,400 --> 03:13:56,400
delay in

4737
03:13:56,400 --> 03:13:57,400
the campaign.

4738
03:13:57,400 --> 03:13:58,400
>> back to paulina I

4739
03:13:58,400 --> 03:13:59,400
think.

4740
03:13:59,400 --> 03:14:00,400
>>

4741
03:14:00,400 --> 03:14:03,400
yes. Thank you very much, justin

4742
03:14:03,400 --> 03:14:05,400
and

4743
03:14:05,400 --> 03:14:06,400
sonya with the presentation.

4744
03:14:06,400 --> 03:14:07,400
>> of

4745
03:14:07,400 --> 03:14:08,400
course.

4746
03:14:08,400 --> 03:14:09,400
>> so we hope you

4747
03:14:09,400 --> 03:14:10,400
guys are excited about the slogan

4748
03:14:10,400 --> 03:14:11,400
and

4749
03:14:11,400 --> 03:14:12,400
the logo. We are very excited as staff

4750
03:14:12,400 --> 03:14:15,400
and all the journey that

4751
03:14:15,400 --> 03:14:18,400
we went through to present

4752
03:14:18,400 --> 03:14:20,400
it to you tonight. Before we go

4753
03:14:20,400 --> 03:14:21,400
to the recommendation, there are a

4754
03:14:21,400 --> 03:14:23,800
couple of considerations we

4755
03:14:24,400 --> 03:14:26,800
need to share with

4756
03:14:27,400 --> 03:14:29,400
you. As justin, or staff

4757
03:14:29,400 --> 03:14:30,400
and finalizeing the logo and slogan,

4758
03:14:30,400 --> 03:14:32,400
we needed

4759
03:14:32,400 --> 03:14:33,400
a council approval. There are a couple

4760
03:14:33,400 --> 03:14:35,400
of approvals in

4761
03:14:36,400 --> 03:14:38,400
licensing requirements that

4762
03:14:38,400 --> 03:14:39,400
we will have to secure before we can

4763
03:14:39,400 --> 03:14:41,400
finalize use of

4764
03:14:42,400 --> 03:14:45,400
the logo and the images

4765
03:14:45,400 --> 03:14:46,400
in the logo. We are requesting council

4766
03:14:46,400 --> 03:14:47,400
approves

4767
03:14:47,400 --> 03:14:48,400
it. So we move forward as you saw

4768
03:14:48,400 --> 03:14:50,400
all the collateral and all of

4769
03:14:50,400 --> 03:14:51,400
the activation we could go with the

4770
03:14:51,400 --> 03:14:53,400
slogan

4771
03:14:54,400 --> 03:14:56,400
and logo. We can move forward with

4772
03:14:56,400 --> 03:14:57,400
finalizing that branding campaign. As

4773
03:14:57,400 --> 03:14:59,400
justin mentioned

4774
03:15:00,400 --> 03:15:01,400
at the end, timing is credit all-star. We

4775
03:15:01,400 --> 03:15:03,400
are

4776
03:15:03,400 --> 03:15:04,400
hoping to launch the slogan and logo

4777
03:15:04,400 --> 03:15:05,400
at

4778
03:15:05,400 --> 03:15:06,400
the upcoming events and the next event

4779
03:15:06,400 --> 03:15:08,800
is october 4. We are

4780
03:15:09,400 --> 03:15:11,400
hoping that we can get

4781
03:15:11,400 --> 03:15:12,400
your approval tonight to move forward

4782
03:15:12,400 --> 03:15:13,400
and with that, the

4783
03:15:13,400 --> 03:15:15,400
recommendation for the city council

4784
03:15:15,400 --> 03:15:17,400
that we are

4785
03:15:17,400 --> 03:15:18,400
asking is approve the recommended

4786
03:15:18,400 --> 03:15:20,400
slogan and

4787
03:15:20,400 --> 03:15:21,400
logo subject to minor modifications

4788
03:15:21,400 --> 03:15:23,400
and

4789
03:15:23,400 --> 03:15:24,400
third party approval requirements

4790
03:15:24,400 --> 03:15:26,400
including

4791
03:15:26,400 --> 03:15:27,400
approval for required licensing rights

4792
03:15:27,400 --> 03:15:29,400
for

4793
03:15:29,400 --> 03:15:30,400
intended use of the logo. And staff

4794
03:15:30,400 --> 03:15:32,800
along with the consultant

4795
03:15:33,400 --> 03:15:35,400
are here to

4796
03:15:35,400 --> 03:15:36,400
answer questions.

4797
03:15:36,400 --> 03:15:37,400
>> I want to say

4798
03:15:37,400 --> 03:15:38,400
something about the committee. And

4799
03:15:38,400 --> 03:15:39,400
I first

4800
03:15:39,400 --> 03:15:41,800
want to say thank

4801
03:15:42,400 --> 03:15:44,400
you

4802
03:15:45,400 --> 03:15:47,400
so

4803
03:15:48,400 --> 03:15:49,400
much even to

4804
03:15:49,400 --> 03:15:51,400
z, the branding organization. Seeing

4805
03:15:51,400 --> 03:15:53,400
the

4806
03:15:53,400 --> 03:15:54,400
soccer ball and the football. Those

4807
03:15:54,400 --> 03:15:57,400
were feedbacks from the community

4808
03:15:57,400 --> 03:16:00,400
group yesterday so they worked

4809
03:16:00,400 --> 03:16:03,400
fast but I liked them. They are really

4810
03:16:03,400 --> 03:16:05,800
nice. Our committee which

4811
03:16:06,400 --> 03:16:07,400
gets bigger and bigger each time,

4812
03:16:07,400 --> 03:16:09,400
they are

4813
03:16:09,400 --> 03:16:11,800
really excited about this

4814
03:16:12,400 --> 03:16:13,400
and the committee is very diverse. They

4815
03:16:13,400 --> 03:16:15,400
come

4816
03:16:15,400 --> 03:16:17,400
from all

4817
03:16:18,400 --> 03:16:20,400
different

4818
03:16:21,400 --> 03:16:23,400
walks

4819
03:16:25,400 --> 03:16:27,400
of life. Businesses, residents. Just

4820
03:16:27,400 --> 03:16:29,400
non-profits. I think

4821
03:16:30,400 --> 03:16:33,400
what people liked about this,

4822
03:16:33,400 --> 03:16:35,400
where the mission meets the moment

4823
03:16:35,400 --> 03:16:36,400
atected people differently. And, people

4824
03:16:36,400 --> 03:16:38,400
like

4825
03:16:39,400 --> 03:16:42,400
the fact that you can

4826
03:16:42,400 --> 03:16:43,400
interchange some of those images in

4827
03:16:43,400 --> 03:16:44,400
there

4828
03:16:44,400 --> 03:16:45,400
to meet the moment. Whatever if it

4829
03:16:45,400 --> 03:16:47,800
is football, there might

4830
03:16:48,400 --> 03:16:49,400
be more football images in there. They

4831
03:16:49,400 --> 03:16:51,400
tell us it

4832
03:16:51,400 --> 03:16:52,400
shouldn't be so literal. But I kind

4833
03:16:52,400 --> 03:16:54,400
of like

4834
03:16:55,400 --> 03:16:56,400
the literal

4835
03:16:56,400 --> 03:16:58,400
stuff. When it comes to soccer, you

4836
03:16:58,400 --> 03:17:00,400
can put the soccer images in and

4837
03:17:00,400 --> 03:17:01,400
create it for whatever we are going

4838
03:17:01,400 --> 03:17:03,400
to use it

4839
03:17:04,400 --> 03:17:06,800
for but what I

4840
03:17:07,400 --> 03:17:09,400
really like about this, it will

4841
03:17:09,400 --> 03:17:11,400
last past these events in 2026. They

4842
03:17:11,400 --> 03:17:13,400
will last past that. So I think people

4843
03:17:13,400 --> 03:17:16,400
said, well I want this photo

4844
03:17:16,400 --> 03:17:18,400
or

4845
03:17:19,400 --> 03:17:21,400
I want that photo. We

4846
03:17:21,400 --> 03:17:24,400
spent a lot of time talking about

4847
03:17:24,400 --> 03:17:25,400
that. How the colors are not as bright

4848
03:17:25,400 --> 03:17:27,400
and vibrant,

4849
03:17:27,400 --> 03:17:30,400
the jewel tones, as they are in reality. They

4850
03:17:30,400 --> 03:17:31,400
are even more vibrant. During the

4851
03:17:31,400 --> 03:17:33,400
meeting david was

4852
03:17:34,400 --> 03:17:35,400
showing

4853
03:17:35,400 --> 03:17:37,400
his computer and bringing it around

4854
03:17:37,400 --> 03:17:38,400
to the community members to

4855
03:17:38,400 --> 03:17:40,400
say the colors are better than what

4856
03:17:40,400 --> 03:17:43,400
you see on the screen. I

4857
03:17:43,400 --> 03:17:44,400
think the committee was excited

4858
03:17:44,400 --> 03:17:46,400
about it. They all had different ideas

4859
03:17:46,400 --> 03:17:49,400
on how we can use it

4860
03:17:49,400 --> 03:17:51,400
and change it

4861
03:17:52,400 --> 03:17:53,400
and

4862
03:17:53,400 --> 03:17:54,400
amend it being interchangeable. This

4863
03:17:54,400 --> 03:17:55,400
is something that was absolutely community

4864
03:17:55,400 --> 03:17:57,400
driven. This

4865
03:17:58,400 --> 03:18:00,400
was a

4866
03:18:00,400 --> 03:18:01,400
community driven process and I know

4867
03:18:01,400 --> 03:18:02,400
with all

4868
03:18:02,400 --> 03:18:04,400
the different opinions, and representations,

4869
03:18:04,400 --> 03:18:06,400
our

4870
03:18:07,400 --> 03:18:10,400
staff has done a good job

4871
03:18:10,400 --> 03:18:11,400
in getting the slab ration together

4872
03:18:11,400 --> 03:18:12,400
with everyone. We will still move

4873
03:18:12,400 --> 03:18:13,400
ahead because we have events to plan,

4874
03:18:13,400 --> 03:18:15,800
but in terms of

4875
03:18:16,400 --> 03:18:19,400
this, I think it is something to

4876
03:18:19,400 --> 03:18:21,400
be excited about. And it

4877
03:18:21,400 --> 03:18:22,400
needs to be out there for the sprayed

4878
03:18:22,400 --> 03:18:23,400
of

4879
03:18:23,400 --> 03:18:25,400
champions. We are only four-and-a-half

4880
03:18:25,400 --> 03:18:26,400
months for super

4881
03:18:26,400 --> 03:18:28,400
bowl. It's coming. It's coloring. We

4882
03:18:28,400 --> 03:18:31,400
don't have time to waste

4883
03:18:31,400 --> 03:18:34,400
on this and I like it because I

4884
03:18:34,400 --> 03:18:36,400
like the little

4885
03:18:40,400 --> 03:18:41,400
santa clara 2026. It really memorializes

4886
03:18:41,400 --> 03:18:42,400
next

4887
03:18:42,400 --> 03:18:46,400
year. I don't know if it will happen

4888
03:18:46,400 --> 03:18:49,400
again in my lifetime. So, great job. Great

4889
03:18:49,400 --> 03:18:52,400
job. So we will start with

4890
03:18:52,400 --> 03:18:55,400
questions from the council. Councilmember

4891
03:18:58,400 --> 03:18:59,400
jain?

4892
03:18:59,400 --> 03:19:00,400
>> thank

4893
03:19:00,400 --> 03:19:01,400
you for the presentation. I see in

4894
03:19:01,400 --> 03:19:03,400
our

4895
03:19:04,400 --> 03:19:06,400
pact. The city council and

4896
03:19:06,400 --> 03:19:08,800
stadium authority adopted guiding

4897
03:19:10,400 --> 03:19:12,400
principles for fifa

4898
03:19:13,400 --> 03:19:15,400
world cup 26. Number two is

4899
03:19:15,400 --> 03:19:16,400
attain reimbursement for all event

4900
03:19:16,400 --> 03:19:18,400
costs. Preand post

4901
03:19:19,400 --> 03:19:21,400
event costs so

4902
03:19:22,400 --> 03:19:25,400
when I go down to the fiscal

4903
03:19:25,400 --> 03:19:28,400
impact of this, there are no

4904
03:19:28,400 --> 03:19:31,400
financial impacts relate today preparing

4905
03:19:31,400 --> 03:19:33,400
this

4906
03:19:34,400 --> 03:19:35,400
report' side from administrative time

4907
03:19:35,400 --> 03:19:36,400
so

4908
03:19:36,400 --> 03:19:37,400
we hired an external agency. A branding

4909
03:19:37,400 --> 03:19:39,400
consultant and we

4910
03:19:40,400 --> 03:19:42,400
also

4911
03:19:43,400 --> 03:19:44,400
eventually will have an event production

4912
03:19:44,400 --> 03:19:45,400
and

4913
03:19:45,400 --> 03:19:46,400
producer. So I'm wondering how are

4914
03:19:46,400 --> 03:19:48,400
those

4915
03:19:52,400 --> 03:19:54,400
costs going to

4916
03:19:54,400 --> 03:19:55,400
be covered and when we do all this

4917
03:19:55,400 --> 03:19:57,400
swag, who is

4918
03:19:58,400 --> 03:20:00,400
takeing the risk if

4919
03:20:00,400 --> 03:20:01,400
there is excess inventory? You print

4920
03:20:01,400 --> 03:20:04,400
out all the cups and

4921
03:20:04,400 --> 03:20:06,400
tee shirts and hats. Who is

4922
03:20:06,400 --> 03:20:07,400
selling that and when there is leftovers,

4923
03:20:07,400 --> 03:20:09,800
who will be left

4924
03:20:10,400 --> 03:20:12,800
with the cost of

4925
03:20:13,400 --> 03:20:16,400
that inventory? So with that guiding

4926
03:20:16,400 --> 03:20:19,400
principle of all costs will

4927
03:20:19,400 --> 03:20:21,400
be reimbursed, I'm

4928
03:20:22,400 --> 03:20:24,400
trying to understand how

4929
03:20:24,400 --> 03:20:25,400
this is going to work.

4930
03:20:25,400 --> 03:20:26,400
>> I had the

4931
03:20:26,400 --> 03:20:28,400
same thought about

4932
03:20:28,400 --> 03:20:31,400
who takes the risk. I be say I

4933
03:20:31,400 --> 03:20:33,400
was also up

4934
03:20:34,400 --> 03:20:36,400
here

4935
03:20:37,400 --> 03:20:40,400
making a shopping list. And

4936
03:20:40,400 --> 03:20:42,400
I can see my grand kids

4937
03:20:42,400 --> 03:20:46,400
loving that. I love the layer ins

4938
03:20:46,400 --> 03:20:47,400
the logo

4939
03:20:47,400 --> 03:20:49,400
and the slogan. You can definitely

4940
03:20:49,400 --> 03:20:50,400
call it a slogo at

4941
03:20:50,400 --> 03:20:52,400
this point. Will make the point that

4942
03:20:52,400 --> 03:20:55,400
when a few of us went

4943
03:20:55,400 --> 03:20:57,400
up to san

4944
03:20:58,400 --> 03:20:59,400
francisco when we did the pitch to

4945
03:20:59,400 --> 03:21:00,400
fifa,

4946
03:21:00,400 --> 03:21:01,400
I kept asking them what's the dress

4947
03:21:01,400 --> 03:21:03,400
code and they

4948
03:21:04,400 --> 03:21:07,400
thought that was a strange question. I

4949
03:21:07,400 --> 03:21:09,400
had a

4950
03:21:10,400 --> 03:21:11,400
tee shirt from girls, wilcox girls

4951
03:21:11,400 --> 03:21:12,400
soccer and

4952
03:21:12,400 --> 03:21:13,400
it had a big soccer ball. On the back,

4953
03:21:13,400 --> 03:21:15,800
I wore my sweater

4954
03:21:16,400 --> 03:21:19,400
and I took it off and showed

4955
03:21:19,400 --> 03:21:22,400
them. On the back it

4956
03:21:22,400 --> 03:21:25,400
says let's kick some grass. So,

4957
03:21:25,400 --> 03:21:26,400
it was interesting that the vice president

4958
03:21:26,400 --> 03:21:28,400
of the

4959
03:21:28,400 --> 03:21:31,400
49ers told me after that that

4960
03:21:31,400 --> 03:21:32,400
they remembered that. They mentioned

4961
03:21:32,400 --> 03:21:34,400
it, the

4962
03:21:34,400 --> 03:21:35,400
teacher that wore that crazy tee shirt

4963
03:21:35,400 --> 03:21:37,400
to this

4964
03:21:37,400 --> 03:21:39,400
event. So,

4965
03:21:40,400 --> 03:21:42,400
a

4966
03:21:46,400 --> 03:21:48,800
logo makes a difference.

4967
03:21:52,400 --> 03:21:54,400
it makes an impact. I have

4968
03:21:54,400 --> 03:21:55,400
a shopping list. But I do have the

4969
03:21:55,400 --> 03:21:57,400
same concern of

4970
03:21:58,400 --> 03:21:59,400
who takes the risk. Who will be doing

4971
03:21:59,400 --> 03:22:00,400
this.

4972
03:22:00,400 --> 03:22:01,400
>>

4973
03:22:01,400 --> 03:22:02,400
that's it for the council city manager.

4974
03:22:02,400 --> 03:22:03,400
>>

4975
03:22:03,400 --> 03:22:04,400
councilmember

4976
03:22:04,400 --> 03:22:06,400
park

4977
03:22:07,400 --> 03:22:09,400
now

4978
03:22:10,400 --> 03:22:12,400
put up

4979
03:22:13,400 --> 03:22:14,400
his hand.

4980
03:22:14,400 --> 03:22:15,400
>> are we going

4981
03:22:15,400 --> 03:22:16,400
to the public?

4982
03:22:16,400 --> 03:22:18,800
>> are you going to

4983
03:22:19,400 --> 03:22:20,400
ask a question?

4984
03:22:20,400 --> 03:22:21,400
>>

4985
03:22:21,400 --> 03:22:25,400
understood. So, I'll be honest. I kind of

4986
03:22:25,400 --> 03:22:27,400
liked

4987
03:22:28,400 --> 03:22:30,400
all

4988
03:22:31,400 --> 03:22:34,400
the word our stage. I

4989
03:22:34,400 --> 03:22:36,400
do

4990
03:22:38,400 --> 03:22:40,400
feel

4991
03:22:41,400 --> 03:22:43,800
that meets the moment.

4992
03:22:44,400 --> 03:22:46,400
where

4993
03:22:46,400 --> 03:22:47,400
we said the moment meets the mission

4994
03:22:47,400 --> 03:22:49,400
would be

4995
03:22:50,400 --> 03:22:51,400
better. Where the

4996
03:22:51,400 --> 03:22:53,400
moment is the mission. It implies the

4997
03:22:53,400 --> 03:22:54,400
mission is

4998
03:22:54,400 --> 03:22:56,400
the thing that remains. When I look

4999
03:22:56,400 --> 03:22:58,400
at the colors,

5000
03:22:59,400 --> 03:23:01,400
I think the colors are nice. I

5001
03:23:01,400 --> 03:23:02,400
think that the logo, the font that

5002
03:23:02,400 --> 03:23:04,400
is

5003
03:23:04,400 --> 03:23:05,400
being used. I kind of wonder why it

5004
03:23:05,400 --> 03:23:07,400
has

5005
03:23:08,400 --> 03:23:10,400
shifted. I know

5006
03:23:14,400 --> 03:23:16,800
the s has shifted.

5007
03:23:28,400 --> 03:23:29,400
when we see alternatives I would like

5008
03:23:29,400 --> 03:23:31,800
to see different alternatives

5009
03:23:32,400 --> 03:23:34,400
on even the

5010
03:23:35,400 --> 03:23:38,400
logo and the imagery. I

5011
03:23:38,400 --> 03:23:40,400
note the ssi is all one color. We

5012
03:23:40,400 --> 03:23:41,400
are combining not just the two ss

5013
03:23:41,400 --> 03:23:42,400
but the I

5014
03:23:42,400 --> 03:23:44,400
with it as well. That doesn't feel as

5015
03:23:44,400 --> 03:23:46,400
good to me when

5016
03:23:46,400 --> 03:23:47,400
we have the two ss together. I think

5017
03:23:47,400 --> 03:23:49,400
the s's together

5018
03:23:50,400 --> 03:23:52,400
because they are the

5019
03:23:52,400 --> 03:23:53,400
same let feels okay. I have an ssi. I

5020
03:23:53,400 --> 03:23:55,400
don't

5021
03:23:55,400 --> 03:23:56,400
know what that means. But I just don't

5022
03:23:56,400 --> 03:23:58,400
know

5023
03:23:59,400 --> 03:24:02,400
if it is hard to make the eye

5024
03:24:02,400 --> 03:24:04,400
another color with

5025
03:24:05,400 --> 03:24:07,400
another image. I actually

5026
03:24:07,400 --> 03:24:08,400
like seeing the soccer and football,

5027
03:24:08,400 --> 03:24:09,400
the

5028
03:24:09,400 --> 03:24:11,400
soccer ball and football motifs. I

5029
03:24:11,400 --> 03:24:13,400
feel that if we

5030
03:24:13,400 --> 03:24:14,400
could have done that in the logo or

5031
03:24:14,400 --> 03:24:16,400
in the mark,

5032
03:24:17,400 --> 03:24:20,400
but now we are talking. Now we

5033
03:24:20,400 --> 03:24:21,400
are all messing up. Well I'm

5034
03:24:21,400 --> 03:24:23,400
messing up those things. But I haven't

5035
03:24:23,400 --> 03:24:25,400
said

5036
03:24:26,400 --> 03:24:27,400
slogo yet.

5037
03:24:27,400 --> 03:24:29,400
>> you just did.

5038
03:24:44,400 --> 03:24:47,400
figuratively or a football. I

5039
03:24:47,400 --> 03:24:50,400
kind of like the idea of we

5040
03:24:50,400 --> 03:24:52,400
are focusing on

5041
03:24:53,400 --> 03:24:55,800
these events. We have

5042
03:24:56,400 --> 03:24:58,800
two separate logos or

5043
03:24:59,400 --> 03:25:01,800
two separate, is that

5044
03:25:02,400 --> 03:25:05,400
four? Two separate images for

5045
03:25:05,400 --> 03:25:07,400
this. Like

5046
03:25:08,400 --> 03:25:11,400
it would be really nice. Called

5047
03:25:11,400 --> 03:25:13,800
up the imagery of

5048
03:25:14,400 --> 03:25:17,400
football. And, super bowl. As well

5049
03:25:17,400 --> 03:25:19,400
as

5050
03:25:20,400 --> 03:25:22,400
soccer and world

5051
03:25:23,400 --> 03:25:25,400
cup. That's

5052
03:25:26,400 --> 03:25:28,400
what

5053
03:25:32,400 --> 03:25:34,800
we pay firms for.

5054
03:25:41,400 --> 03:25:43,400
if we are called more to

5055
03:25:43,400 --> 03:25:44,400
do our attention a little bit more

5056
03:25:44,400 --> 03:25:45,400
about football and soccer or

5057
03:25:45,400 --> 03:25:47,400
santa clara or something. But I feel

5058
03:25:47,400 --> 03:25:49,400
that it is

5059
03:25:49,400 --> 03:25:50,400
just an abstract logo for 26. Like

5060
03:25:50,400 --> 03:25:52,400
I know

5061
03:25:53,400 --> 03:25:56,400
we tried to keep the font

5062
03:25:56,400 --> 03:25:58,400
similar to

5063
03:25:58,400 --> 03:25:59,400
the font formation. I don't think

5064
03:25:59,400 --> 03:26:01,400
that

5065
03:26:02,400 --> 03:26:04,400
was

5066
03:26:05,400 --> 03:26:07,400
held

5067
03:26:08,400 --> 03:26:11,400
too closely as well. I don't know

5068
03:26:11,400 --> 03:26:13,400
what

5069
03:26:14,400 --> 03:26:16,400
that

5070
03:26:17,400 --> 03:26:19,400
the

5071
03:26:23,400 --> 03:26:25,800
imagery is for two.

5072
03:26:41,400 --> 03:26:43,400
>>

5073
03:26:44,400 --> 03:26:45,400
thank

5074
03:26:45,400 --> 03:26:47,400
you mayor. Thank you council. Let

5075
03:26:47,400 --> 03:26:49,800
me first go to

5076
03:26:50,400 --> 03:26:53,400
the set of questions asked by

5077
03:26:53,400 --> 03:26:55,800
councilmember suds jain which

5078
03:26:56,400 --> 03:26:59,400
really involved money. And, the councilmember

5079
03:26:59,400 --> 03:27:01,400
pointed

5080
03:27:05,400 --> 03:27:08,400
out your guiding principles. As

5081
03:27:08,400 --> 03:27:09,400
we embarked

5082
03:27:09,400 --> 03:27:11,400
on planning, world cup. The councilmember

5083
03:27:11,400 --> 03:27:13,400
brought up the

5084
03:27:14,400 --> 03:27:15,400
one that

5085
03:27:15,400 --> 03:27:17,400
is essentially secret impursement. That

5086
03:27:17,400 --> 03:27:19,400
is important to

5087
03:27:20,400 --> 03:27:22,400
know. It is all about event

5088
03:27:22,400 --> 03:27:23,400
cost. We talk about the effort to

5089
03:27:23,400 --> 03:27:24,400
engage the

5090
03:27:24,400 --> 03:27:26,400
santa clara community. And, I look

5091
03:27:26,400 --> 03:27:28,400
at

5092
03:27:28,400 --> 03:27:29,400
guiding principle one. That says professionally

5093
03:27:29,400 --> 03:27:31,400
oversee these events

5094
03:27:32,400 --> 03:27:33,400
in a manner that highlights santa

5095
03:27:33,400 --> 03:27:35,400
clara

5096
03:27:35,400 --> 03:27:36,400
and celebrates our rich diversity. Right? And,

5097
03:27:36,400 --> 03:27:38,400
that

5098
03:27:38,400 --> 03:27:40,400
in addition to

5099
03:27:44,400 --> 03:27:46,800
the other guiding principle.

5100
03:27:50,400 --> 03:27:51,400
the phrase santa clara is not mentioned

5101
03:27:51,400 --> 03:27:53,400
a

5102
03:27:53,400 --> 03:27:55,800
lot around these games

5103
03:27:59,400 --> 03:28:01,800
though we are hosts.

5104
03:28:20,400 --> 03:28:22,400
at the very top

5105
03:28:22,400 --> 03:28:23,400
of the stadium is our city flag and

5106
03:28:23,400 --> 03:28:25,800
you really can't see

5107
03:28:26,400 --> 03:28:28,400
it. So having

5108
03:28:29,400 --> 03:28:32,400
our own branding effort. Is a way

5109
03:28:32,400 --> 03:28:36,000
to inject santa clara into what's

5110
03:28:38,400 --> 03:28:41,400
happening in the region. In

5111
03:28:44,400 --> 03:28:46,400
here.

5112
03:29:02,400 --> 03:29:04,400
the committee

5113
03:29:05,400 --> 03:29:06,400
has also met and discussed events. Some

5114
03:29:06,400 --> 03:29:08,400
would

5115
03:29:08,400 --> 03:29:09,400
be planned by partners. That work

5116
03:29:09,400 --> 03:29:11,400
is ongoing. And

5117
03:29:11,400 --> 03:29:13,400
will come to the council at

5118
03:29:13,400 --> 03:29:14,400
a later date for discussion. Allocation

5119
03:29:14,400 --> 03:29:17,400
and resources for that. What

5120
03:29:18,400 --> 03:29:20,400
you have

5121
03:29:21,400 --> 03:29:23,400
before you tonight

5122
03:29:24,400 --> 03:29:26,400
is

5123
03:29:26,400 --> 03:29:27,400
really the marketing campaign. I think

5124
03:29:27,400 --> 03:29:29,400
councilmember kevin park

5125
03:29:30,400 --> 03:29:32,400
mentioned a number of comments

5126
03:29:32,400 --> 03:29:36,400
that I will say are sort of personal

5127
03:29:36,400 --> 03:29:37,400
thoughts around the logo. I will say

5128
03:29:37,400 --> 03:29:39,400
committee member, staff, myself, we

5129
03:29:39,400 --> 03:29:41,800
all had a little

5130
03:29:42,400 --> 03:29:45,400
bit of what you articulated. I

5131
03:29:45,400 --> 03:29:48,400
like this and that. One of

5132
03:29:48,400 --> 03:29:50,400
the things we realized. You

5133
03:29:50,400 --> 03:29:51,400
really need professional expertise

5134
03:29:51,400 --> 03:29:53,400
hints. The

5135
03:29:54,400 --> 03:29:56,800
bringing on of the

5136
03:29:57,400 --> 03:29:59,400
marketing firm to help engage

5137
03:29:59,400 --> 03:30:00,400
and define the effort. And there was

5138
03:30:00,400 --> 03:30:02,400
a comment

5139
03:30:03,400 --> 03:30:05,400
around where the mission

5140
03:30:05,400 --> 03:30:07,400
meets the moment is too specific. I

5141
03:30:07,400 --> 03:30:09,400
will highlight a few discussions that

5142
03:30:09,400 --> 03:30:11,800
were had and I

5143
03:30:12,400 --> 03:30:13,400
will say that many

5144
03:30:13,400 --> 03:30:15,400
people thought that it actually transcends

5145
03:30:15,400 --> 03:30:17,400
this moment and it harkens back to

5146
03:30:17,400 --> 03:30:18,400
the past and the future. When we think

5147
03:30:18,400 --> 03:30:20,400
of santa clara

5148
03:30:21,400 --> 03:30:23,800
when we were a

5149
03:30:24,400 --> 03:30:26,400
farming

5150
03:30:27,400 --> 03:30:29,400
community. The

5151
03:30:33,400 --> 03:30:35,800
advancements that went in.

5152
03:30:39,400 --> 03:30:41,400
when you

5153
03:30:45,400 --> 03:30:47,800
think of data centers.

5154
03:31:08,400 --> 03:31:09,400
we all like this and like that and

5155
03:31:09,400 --> 03:31:10,400
like

5156
03:31:10,400 --> 03:31:11,400
to change that. Where the committee and

5157
03:31:11,400 --> 03:31:15,000
staff landed in the agency landed

5158
03:31:15,400 --> 03:31:17,400
is

5159
03:31:17,400 --> 03:31:18,400
very much a compromise. It meets the

5160
03:31:18,400 --> 03:31:20,400
moment of

5161
03:31:21,400 --> 03:31:22,400
today. But connects to the

5162
03:31:22,400 --> 03:31:24,400
past. And the future. So, I know I

5163
03:31:24,400 --> 03:31:26,800
didn't hit all the

5164
03:31:27,400 --> 03:31:29,400
questions that were raised. I

5165
03:31:29,400 --> 03:31:30,400
think that is the majority.

5166
03:31:30,400 --> 03:31:32,400
>> that was

5167
03:31:32,400 --> 03:31:33,400
a pretty good representation of our

5168
03:31:33,400 --> 03:31:35,400
discussion

5169
03:31:36,400 --> 03:31:39,400
at the economic development committee

5170
03:31:39,400 --> 03:31:41,800
meeting yesterday. Was exactly

5171
03:31:42,400 --> 03:31:44,800
all those things. And

5172
03:31:45,400 --> 03:31:48,400
I think it was our director of

5173
03:31:48,400 --> 03:31:51,400
the museum who said it is great

5174
03:31:51,400 --> 03:31:53,800
because what do you

5175
03:31:54,400 --> 03:31:57,400
see, you know, what coming

5176
03:31:57,400 --> 03:31:59,400
to mind when you look at a piece

5177
03:31:59,400 --> 03:32:00,400
of art. It has different interpretations

5178
03:32:00,400 --> 03:32:02,400
of it

5179
03:32:03,400 --> 03:32:05,400
and I think this

5180
03:32:05,400 --> 03:32:06,400
invokes the same thing. It really

5181
03:32:06,400 --> 03:32:08,400
does. When you

5182
03:32:08,400 --> 03:32:09,400
think we created the center of what's

5183
03:32:09,400 --> 03:32:11,400
possible for super bowl 50,

5184
03:32:11,400 --> 03:32:12,400
you may say what does that have to

5185
03:32:12,400 --> 03:32:13,400
do for

5186
03:32:13,400 --> 03:32:15,400
football? The center of what's possible? That

5187
03:32:15,400 --> 03:32:17,800
is what we really

5188
03:32:18,400 --> 03:32:21,400
felt at the time. And

5189
03:32:21,400 --> 03:32:22,400
I think that this and

5190
03:32:22,400 --> 03:32:24,400
that has really done well over the

5191
03:32:24,400 --> 03:32:27,400
past decade and this one will

5192
03:32:27,400 --> 03:32:30,400
do the same. I think it will

5193
03:32:30,400 --> 03:32:33,400
do the same as it evolves on us. And it

5194
03:32:33,400 --> 03:32:35,400
works well with

5195
03:32:36,400 --> 03:32:38,400
the

5196
03:32:42,400 --> 03:32:44,800
center of what's possible.

5197
03:32:48,400 --> 03:32:50,400
is

5198
03:32:50,400 --> 03:32:51,400
there anybody who said I hate it,

5199
03:32:51,400 --> 03:32:54,400
I don't want it? I don't

5200
03:32:54,400 --> 03:32:56,800
think I heard that

5201
03:32:57,400 --> 03:33:00,400
yesterday. It was all tweak this,

5202
03:33:00,400 --> 03:33:02,400
tweak

5203
03:33:03,400 --> 03:33:05,400
that,

5204
03:33:06,400 --> 03:33:10,000
change that picture. Change that. Count

5205
03:33:12,400 --> 03:33:14,400
jain.

5206
03:33:21,400 --> 03:33:23,400
is there a

5207
03:33:24,400 --> 03:33:25,400
budget for this

5208
03:33:25,400 --> 03:33:27,400
whole event. In 2016, we budgeted

5209
03:33:27,400 --> 03:33:29,400
$2 million out of the

5210
03:33:29,400 --> 03:33:30,400
general fund that was never reimbursed. I

5211
03:33:30,400 --> 03:33:32,400
understand

5212
03:33:33,400 --> 03:33:36,400
if we want to have budgets

5213
03:33:36,400 --> 03:33:39,400
and who is going to be doing the inventory for

5214
03:33:39,400 --> 03:33:41,400
all the

5215
03:33:41,400 --> 03:33:42,400
swag and everything.

5216
03:33:42,400 --> 03:33:43,400
>> perfect. Thank

5217
03:33:43,400 --> 03:33:45,400
you councilmember

5218
03:33:45,400 --> 03:33:47,800
jain for reminding us

5219
03:33:48,400 --> 03:33:50,400
of that. A couple of pieces there. You

5220
03:33:50,400 --> 03:33:51,400
are absolutely right. Back in 2016, the city

5221
03:33:51,400 --> 03:33:53,400
spent roughly $2 million

5222
03:33:54,400 --> 03:33:55,400
on its community engagement efforts. Right? In

5223
03:33:55,400 --> 03:33:56,400
launching

5224
03:33:56,400 --> 03:33:57,400
a number of community events that

5225
03:33:57,400 --> 03:33:59,400
the

5226
03:34:00,400 --> 03:34:01,400
city still holds today on an annual

5227
03:34:01,400 --> 03:34:02,400
basis. To, there

5228
03:34:02,400 --> 03:34:03,400
is a list of events the committee

5229
03:34:03,400 --> 03:34:05,400
is still working

5230
03:34:05,400 --> 03:34:06,400
on the total cost. There will be sponsorship. That

5231
03:34:06,400 --> 03:34:08,400
information

5232
03:34:09,400 --> 03:34:10,400
for the event costs. And essentially

5233
03:34:10,400 --> 03:34:12,400
the entire community

5234
03:34:12,400 --> 03:34:15,400
activation is still being developed

5235
03:34:15,400 --> 03:34:17,400
and

5236
03:34:18,400 --> 03:34:21,400
will come to you. I will also say

5237
03:34:21,400 --> 03:34:24,400
in your consent calendar, you approved

5238
03:34:24,400 --> 03:34:26,400
a contract

5239
03:34:30,400 --> 03:34:32,800
for out front media.

5240
03:34:33,400 --> 03:34:35,400
the amount in

5241
03:34:36,400 --> 03:34:38,400
the

5242
03:34:39,400 --> 03:34:40,400
staff report was anticipated $500,000. So,

5243
03:34:40,400 --> 03:34:42,400
as

5244
03:34:42,400 --> 03:34:44,800
we go through that

5245
03:34:45,400 --> 03:34:48,400
process, there will be revenue to

5246
03:34:48,400 --> 03:34:50,400
subsidize

5247
03:34:51,400 --> 03:34:52,400
campaign and the events. Certainly

5248
03:34:52,400 --> 03:34:54,400
the city

5249
03:34:54,400 --> 03:34:56,800
will need to front

5250
03:34:57,400 --> 03:34:59,400
funds and develop a

5251
03:34:59,400 --> 03:35:00,400
full budget. Specific to give aways

5252
03:35:00,400 --> 03:35:02,400
or marketing materials. What

5253
03:35:02,400 --> 03:35:03,400
we are laser focused on right now

5254
03:35:03,400 --> 03:35:06,400
is what we need for

5255
03:35:06,400 --> 03:35:08,400
the parade of

5256
03:35:09,400 --> 03:35:10,400
champions. We have the funds for that. What

5257
03:35:10,400 --> 03:35:12,400
is envisioned

5258
03:35:12,400 --> 03:35:14,400
for that

5259
03:35:15,400 --> 03:35:17,400
to be produced for

5260
03:35:17,400 --> 03:35:18,400
that. A few signs, and potentially

5261
03:35:18,400 --> 03:35:20,400
some give aways. You may recall

5262
03:35:20,400 --> 03:35:21,400
at the art and wine festival, a week

5263
03:35:21,400 --> 03:35:24,400
or two weeks ago, with

5264
03:35:24,400 --> 03:35:27,400
e had little soccer balls with the

5265
03:35:27,400 --> 03:35:30,400
city logo on it. We would look to

5266
03:35:30,400 --> 03:35:31,400
produce what sorts of stickers are

5267
03:35:31,400 --> 03:35:33,400
little tiny things

5268
03:35:33,400 --> 03:35:34,400
we could start to infuse. The campaign

5269
03:35:34,400 --> 03:35:36,400
with. Again,

5270
03:35:36,400 --> 03:35:39,400
out of existing funds that we already

5271
03:35:39,400 --> 03:35:43,400
have within the city. Not asking for

5272
03:35:43,400 --> 03:35:45,400
new allocation for that. And so,

5273
03:35:45,400 --> 03:35:49,400
the full budget is still a tbd, the

5274
03:35:49,400 --> 03:35:50,400
community is still working on

5275
03:35:50,400 --> 03:35:52,400
both their sponsorship as well as

5276
03:35:52,400 --> 03:35:54,400
the events

5277
03:35:55,400 --> 03:35:57,400
that will come

5278
03:35:58,400 --> 03:36:00,800
forward. And lastly, important

5279
03:36:01,400 --> 03:36:04,400
to note that someone asks

5280
03:36:04,400 --> 03:36:05,400
what we would be stuck with

5281
03:36:05,400 --> 03:36:07,400
unsold merchandise. I will say that

5282
03:36:07,400 --> 03:36:09,400
I know conversations

5283
03:36:10,400 --> 03:36:12,400
are still happening on if

5284
03:36:12,400 --> 03:36:13,400
we will produce merchandise for sale

5285
03:36:13,400 --> 03:36:15,400
or

5286
03:36:15,400 --> 03:36:16,400
small ticket items as give aways like

5287
03:36:16,400 --> 03:36:18,400
we nordean allowedly

5288
03:36:19,400 --> 03:36:20,400
do for city

5289
03:36:20,400 --> 03:36:22,400
community engagement events. But certainly,

5290
03:36:22,400 --> 03:36:24,400
there could be things

5291
03:36:24,400 --> 03:36:27,400
that are purchased and we could look

5292
03:36:27,400 --> 03:36:28,400
to have anything we produce for purchase

5293
03:36:28,400 --> 03:36:29,400
in

5294
03:36:29,400 --> 03:36:31,400
small quantities or we can do orders

5295
03:36:31,400 --> 03:36:33,400
when

5296
03:36:33,400 --> 03:36:35,400
we run out. Or to be very specific

5297
03:36:35,400 --> 03:36:37,400
on buying items that have the mark

5298
03:36:37,400 --> 03:36:40,400
which have the 26 and limit

5299
03:36:40,400 --> 03:36:41,400
that and have that logo that has

5300
03:36:41,400 --> 03:36:43,400
staying power, be the material that

5301
03:36:43,400 --> 03:36:44,400
we may

5302
03:36:44,400 --> 03:36:46,400
have additional leftover after 2026. And

5303
03:36:46,400 --> 03:36:48,400
so, I know the committee and

5304
03:36:48,400 --> 03:36:49,400
the team will work on that here.

5305
03:36:49,400 --> 03:36:50,400
>>

5306
03:36:50,400 --> 03:36:52,400
we

5307
03:36:52,400 --> 03:36:54,400
wanted to make

5308
03:36:55,400 --> 03:36:57,400
sure

5309
03:36:58,400 --> 03:36:59,400
the 26

5310
03:36:59,400 --> 03:37:01,400
was on there. I didn't see anything

5311
03:37:01,400 --> 03:37:03,400
with the

5312
03:37:04,400 --> 03:37:06,400
26

5313
03:37:07,400 --> 03:37:09,400
on

5314
03:37:10,400 --> 03:37:12,400
there. Okay, public

5315
03:37:13,400 --> 03:37:15,400
members? We

5316
03:37:16,400 --> 03:37:18,400
will start

5317
03:37:19,400 --> 03:37:20,400
with wanda.

5318
03:37:20,400 --> 03:37:22,400
>> mayor and council? This

5319
03:37:22,400 --> 03:37:23,400
is beautifully brilliant. I

5320
03:37:23,400 --> 03:37:25,400
am just so impressed. And everything

5321
03:37:25,400 --> 03:37:26,400
that every one of you

5322
03:37:26,400 --> 03:37:28,400
said were things that I had written

5323
03:37:28,400 --> 03:37:30,400
down

5324
03:37:30,400 --> 03:37:31,400
to say before I heard you. And if

5325
03:37:31,400 --> 03:37:33,400
I were going

5326
03:37:33,400 --> 03:37:34,400
to tweak anything and if it isn't

5327
03:37:34,400 --> 03:37:36,400
tweaked as it

5328
03:37:37,400 --> 03:37:39,400
is,

5329
03:37:40,400 --> 03:37:43,400
I think it's great. I would make

5330
03:37:43,400 --> 03:37:46,400
santa clara more prominent. I

5331
03:37:46,400 --> 03:37:48,400
think that

5332
03:37:48,400 --> 03:37:49,400
we are branding our city and whether

5333
03:37:49,400 --> 03:37:51,400
it is bigger

5334
03:37:51,400 --> 03:37:52,400
or bolder and we will probably be

5335
03:37:52,400 --> 03:37:54,400
able to use

5336
03:37:55,400 --> 03:37:57,400
this veriuation

5337
03:37:58,400 --> 03:38:00,400
of it

5338
03:38:01,400 --> 03:38:03,400
in the future. Where we

5339
03:38:03,400 --> 03:38:05,400
could put different years on. Whatever. The

5340
03:38:05,400 --> 03:38:07,400
coloring seems a little pastel. I'm

5341
03:38:07,400 --> 03:38:09,400
glad to hear

5342
03:38:09,400 --> 03:38:10,400
that in person, it looks brighter. We

5343
03:38:10,400 --> 03:38:12,800
seem to have some

5344
03:38:13,400 --> 03:38:15,400
city colors that

5345
03:38:16,400 --> 03:38:18,400
have been chosen that are

5346
03:38:18,400 --> 03:38:19,400
like a terra cotta orangey red and

5347
03:38:19,400 --> 03:38:21,400
pale green. I

5348
03:38:22,400 --> 03:38:24,400
don't remember

5349
03:38:25,400 --> 03:38:27,400
all of them. But

5350
03:38:27,400 --> 03:38:28,400
I do think brighter the better, it

5351
03:38:28,400 --> 03:38:30,400
is proven

5352
03:38:31,400 --> 03:38:33,800
that red catches people's

5353
03:38:34,400 --> 03:38:37,400
attention more. However, thank you

5354
03:38:37,400 --> 03:38:39,400
very, very much. It's beautiful. That's

5355
03:38:39,400 --> 03:38:40,400
it.

5356
03:38:40,400 --> 03:38:41,400
>> thank you wanda. Iphone. Go

5357
03:38:41,400 --> 03:38:43,400
ahead

5358
03:38:43,400 --> 03:38:44,400
iphone. I don't even want to say

5359
03:38:44,400 --> 03:38:45,400
is this linda. Iphone?

5360
03:38:45,400 --> 03:38:49,000
>> yes, it is linda. >> all right!

5361
03:38:55,400 --> 03:38:57,400
>> I am resistant

5362
03:38:57,400 --> 03:38:58,400
to advertisements of any kind. I automatically

5363
03:38:58,400 --> 03:39:00,800
say no before I

5364
03:39:01,400 --> 03:39:02,400
think I

5365
03:39:02,400 --> 03:39:04,400
should have said yes. Given that,

5366
03:39:04,400 --> 03:39:06,400
however, I listen

5367
03:39:07,400 --> 03:39:09,400
to

5368
03:39:10,400 --> 03:39:13,400
a lot of radio. And any time

5369
03:39:13,400 --> 03:39:15,400
the super bowl is mentioned

5370
03:39:15,400 --> 03:39:16,400
or fifa is mentioned or anything else,

5371
03:39:16,400 --> 03:39:18,400
it is

5372
03:39:19,400 --> 03:39:21,400
always

5373
03:39:22,400 --> 03:39:25,400
like a bay area thing. I never ever

5374
03:39:25,400 --> 03:39:28,400
ever hear santa clara. So I

5375
03:39:28,400 --> 03:39:31,400
would as soon as possible push a

5376
03:39:31,400 --> 03:39:34,400
lot of santa clara stuff out so

5377
03:39:34,400 --> 03:39:36,400
the santa

5378
03:39:37,400 --> 03:39:39,400
clara name is

5379
03:39:40,400 --> 03:39:42,800
in there because right

5380
03:39:43,400 --> 03:39:45,400
now

5381
03:39:46,400 --> 03:39:48,400
it's like san

5382
03:39:49,400 --> 03:39:51,400
francisco,

5383
03:39:51,400 --> 03:39:52,400
oakland san jose? Wherever. Who knows. It

5384
03:39:52,400 --> 03:39:55,400
could be held? Sunnyvale for

5385
03:39:55,400 --> 03:39:56,400
all I can tell from the new. That's

5386
03:39:56,400 --> 03:39:57,400
all. Bye.

5387
03:39:57,400 --> 03:39:58,400
>> thank you linda. I think

5388
03:39:58,400 --> 03:40:01,400
that represents a lot of what I

5389
03:40:01,400 --> 03:40:03,400
hear in the community

5390
03:40:03,400 --> 03:40:04,400
as well. Santa clara has a lot of

5391
03:40:04,400 --> 03:40:06,400
pride. And we

5392
03:40:07,400 --> 03:40:10,400
are not hearing our name

5393
03:40:10,400 --> 03:40:13,400
anywhere. Okay. Any other public

5394
03:40:13,400 --> 03:40:15,400
members want

5395
03:40:15,400 --> 03:40:16,400
to say something? Please come forward. Don't

5396
03:40:16,400 --> 03:40:18,400
be

5397
03:40:19,400 --> 03:40:20,400
scared you can come forward.

5398
03:40:20,400 --> 03:40:22,400
>>

5399
03:40:22,400 --> 03:40:24,400
you know I'm not

5400
03:40:24,400 --> 03:40:25,400
scared.

5401
03:40:25,400 --> 03:40:26,400
>> that's why I said it facetiously. >>

5402
03:40:26,400 --> 03:40:28,400
good evening. I just wanted to

5403
03:40:28,400 --> 03:40:30,400
say myself I represent. The ceo

5404
03:40:30,400 --> 03:40:31,400
of discover santa clara. The dmo. And

5405
03:40:31,400 --> 03:40:33,800
myself and our director

5406
03:40:34,400 --> 03:40:36,800
of marketing have had

5407
03:40:37,400 --> 03:40:39,400
the honor of

5408
03:40:40,400 --> 03:40:41,400
being part of

5409
03:40:41,400 --> 03:40:43,400
these marketing meetings. We were

5410
03:40:43,400 --> 03:40:46,400
talking about this logo all morning. I

5411
03:40:46,400 --> 03:40:49,400
think it is fresh and intriguing and

5412
03:40:49,400 --> 03:40:51,400
I think it just

5413
03:40:51,400 --> 03:40:52,400
showcases everything that is amazing

5414
03:40:52,400 --> 03:40:54,400
about the city. The

5415
03:40:54,400 --> 03:40:55,400
movement, the white space. I think

5416
03:40:55,400 --> 03:40:57,400
that

5417
03:40:58,400 --> 03:41:01,400
where the mission meets the moment

5418
03:41:01,400 --> 03:41:04,400
has legs that will last forever and

5419
03:41:04,400 --> 03:41:06,400
I agree

5420
03:41:07,400 --> 03:41:10,400
with our city manager in that everyone

5421
03:41:10,400 --> 03:41:13,400
has an opinion and there is that

5422
03:41:13,400 --> 03:41:15,800
desire to have some

5423
03:41:16,400 --> 03:41:19,400
things that are very literal. I

5424
03:41:19,400 --> 03:41:21,400
think the real

5425
03:41:22,400 --> 03:41:23,400
beauty of the slogo. See? I think

5426
03:41:23,400 --> 03:41:25,400
the

5427
03:41:25,400 --> 03:41:27,400
beauty of it is that we need to

5428
03:41:27,400 --> 03:41:28,400
trust that everyone will interpret

5429
03:41:28,400 --> 03:41:30,800
this in their own

5430
03:41:31,400 --> 03:41:33,400
way and that

5431
03:41:34,400 --> 03:41:36,400
is really

5432
03:41:37,400 --> 03:41:40,400
the power of this and I was

5433
03:41:40,400 --> 03:41:42,400
recently

5434
03:41:42,400 --> 03:41:43,400
at a very high profile event and santa

5435
03:41:43,400 --> 03:41:46,400
clara was not mentioned one

5436
03:41:46,400 --> 03:41:47,400
single time and I think this will

5437
03:41:47,400 --> 03:41:49,400
change that. So from the dmo's perspective

5438
03:41:49,400 --> 03:41:51,400
we are here to

5439
03:41:51,400 --> 03:41:52,400
support this. We would support it

5440
03:41:52,400 --> 03:41:54,400
no

5441
03:41:55,400 --> 03:41:58,400
matter what. But we are tremendously

5442
03:41:58,400 --> 03:42:00,400
excited at what kind of a cool

5443
03:42:00,400 --> 03:42:01,400
innovative logo and slogan that we have.

5444
03:42:01,400 --> 03:42:02,400
>>

5445
03:42:02,400 --> 03:42:04,400
thank you. Any

5446
03:42:04,400 --> 03:42:06,400
other member of

5447
03:42:06,400 --> 03:42:07,400
the public? All right. Seeing none,

5448
03:42:07,400 --> 03:42:09,400
council, we

5449
03:42:10,400 --> 03:42:12,800
need a motion from

5450
03:42:13,400 --> 03:42:15,400
us correct? To

5451
03:42:16,400 --> 03:42:17,400
approve this logo? Councilmember hardy?

5452
03:42:17,400 --> 03:42:18,400
>>

5453
03:42:18,400 --> 03:42:19,400
I am

5454
03:42:19,400 --> 03:42:22,400
very happy to make a motion to

5455
03:42:22,400 --> 03:42:24,400
approve the slogan

5456
03:42:25,400 --> 03:42:26,400
and logo. I said it very carefully. And,

5457
03:42:26,400 --> 03:42:27,400
I

5458
03:42:27,400 --> 03:42:28,400
am excited about this because I want

5459
03:42:28,400 --> 03:42:30,400
to market santa

5460
03:42:31,400 --> 03:42:32,400
clara and we need to brand ourselves

5461
03:42:32,400 --> 03:42:34,400
and we

5462
03:42:35,400 --> 03:42:36,400
need to do it ourselves. So

5463
03:42:36,400 --> 03:42:37,400
I will make that motion.

5464
03:42:37,400 --> 03:42:38,400
>> second. >>

5465
03:42:38,400 --> 03:42:40,400
okay. We have

5466
03:42:41,400 --> 03:42:43,400
a

5467
03:42:44,400 --> 03:42:47,400
motion by councilmember hardy. And

5468
03:42:47,400 --> 03:42:49,800
a second by councilmember

5469
03:42:50,400 --> 03:42:51,400
gonzalez.

5470
03:42:51,400 --> 03:42:53,400
>> thank you. Thank

5471
03:42:53,400 --> 03:42:55,400
you for the

5472
03:42:56,400 --> 03:42:58,800
presentation. I like what

5473
03:42:59,400 --> 03:43:01,800
I'm seeing. But being

5474
03:43:02,400 --> 03:43:04,400
a

5475
03:43:04,400 --> 03:43:05,400
little bit critic doesn't hurt. If

5476
03:43:05,400 --> 03:43:06,400
I

5477
03:43:06,400 --> 03:43:08,400
see this mission over there, because,

5478
03:43:08,400 --> 03:43:10,400
26 is

5479
03:43:11,400 --> 03:43:13,800
important for us as

5480
03:43:14,400 --> 03:43:17,400
a ports year basically. And,

5481
03:43:17,400 --> 03:43:19,400
I know

5482
03:43:19,400 --> 03:43:20,400
it mentions mission or moment it depicts

5483
03:43:20,400 --> 03:43:22,800
a moment of sports

5484
03:43:23,400 --> 03:43:25,400
or a mission we are

5485
03:43:25,400 --> 03:43:26,400
trying to accomplish. But I would

5486
03:43:26,400 --> 03:43:28,400
say

5487
03:43:29,400 --> 03:43:31,800
if we, if at

5488
03:43:32,400 --> 03:43:34,400
least, if

5489
03:43:34,400 --> 03:43:35,400
you can turn into football. For college. That

5490
03:43:35,400 --> 03:43:37,400
will bring

5491
03:43:38,400 --> 03:43:40,400
the super bowl part of

5492
03:43:40,400 --> 03:43:41,400
that sport thing into it. And, as

5493
03:43:41,400 --> 03:43:43,400
you know, you

5494
03:43:43,400 --> 03:43:44,400
mentioned that you can change the

5495
03:43:44,400 --> 03:43:46,400
images

5496
03:43:47,400 --> 03:43:51,600
one over the other. So it doesn't

5497
03:43:53,400 --> 03:43:55,400
have

5498
03:43:55,400 --> 03:43:59,000
to be consistent football. It shows

5499
03:43:59,400 --> 03:44:01,400
sports. It

5500
03:44:02,400 --> 03:44:04,400
shows 26 right? And

5501
03:44:05,400 --> 03:44:07,400
similarly, the o, it

5502
03:44:07,400 --> 03:44:10,400
can convert into soccer ball. Something

5503
03:44:10,400 --> 03:44:14,400
like whether we are allowed to write

5504
03:44:14,400 --> 03:44:16,400
down fifa or

5505
03:44:16,400 --> 03:44:17,400
not. But something like that. And

5506
03:44:17,400 --> 03:44:19,400
that will represent

5507
03:44:20,400 --> 03:44:23,400
the two main events of 2026. And,

5508
03:44:23,400 --> 03:44:26,400
ideally, I want it to be something

5509
03:44:26,400 --> 03:44:28,800
because we are dedicating

5510
03:44:29,400 --> 03:44:31,400
this thing to 2026 for

5511
03:44:31,400 --> 03:44:32,400
santa clara. Something like sports. Like,

5512
03:44:32,400 --> 03:44:34,400
but I'm

5513
03:44:35,400 --> 03:44:37,800
oak with what I

5514
03:44:38,400 --> 03:44:40,400
am

5515
03:44:41,400 --> 03:44:44,400
presented. Like tech innovation meets

5516
03:44:44,400 --> 03:44:46,800
sports hub. Because, those

5517
03:44:47,400 --> 03:44:48,400
are the two things we

5518
03:44:48,400 --> 03:44:50,400
are very famous for. We are the capital

5519
03:44:50,400 --> 03:44:52,400
of ai in the world

5520
03:44:52,400 --> 03:44:53,400
and people should know that. This is tech,

5521
03:44:53,400 --> 03:44:55,400
but at

5522
03:44:56,400 --> 03:44:59,400
the same time, we are

5523
03:45:02,400 --> 03:45:05,400
such a big sports hub

5524
03:45:05,400 --> 03:45:08,400
and concert hub because of

5525
03:45:11,400 --> 03:45:13,800
levi stadium. Let's blend

5526
03:45:14,400 --> 03:45:16,400
some sports into

5527
03:45:16,400 --> 03:45:17,400
this mission. That is my suggestion. I

5528
03:45:17,400 --> 03:45:21,000
know your agency is listening to

5529
03:45:23,400 --> 03:45:25,400
that. Probably they

5530
03:45:25,400 --> 03:45:26,400
are listening to it. I like the rose. One

5531
03:45:26,400 --> 03:45:28,400
of the

5532
03:45:28,400 --> 03:45:29,400
roses can still be there after we are

5533
03:45:29,400 --> 03:45:31,400
done

5534
03:45:32,400 --> 03:45:34,800
with super bowl or

5535
03:45:35,400 --> 03:45:36,400
fifa. Those are

5536
03:45:36,400 --> 03:45:37,400
my only comments.

5537
03:45:37,400 --> 03:45:38,400
>> councilmember

5538
03:45:38,400 --> 03:45:39,400
gonzalez?

5539
03:45:39,400 --> 03:45:40,400
>>

5540
03:45:40,400 --> 03:45:41,400
thank you madame mayor. I want to

5541
03:45:41,400 --> 03:45:43,400
say thanks

5542
03:45:44,400 --> 03:45:46,400
to the

5543
03:45:47,400 --> 03:45:49,400
staff and the community there. A lot

5544
03:45:49,400 --> 03:45:50,400
of great input. Much of the imput

5545
03:45:50,400 --> 03:45:52,400
we are

5546
03:45:53,400 --> 03:45:55,400
hearing today

5547
03:45:56,400 --> 03:45:57,400
was brought forward yesterday. But

5548
03:45:57,400 --> 03:45:59,400
I think

5549
03:45:59,400 --> 03:46:02,400
staff and our agency did

5550
03:46:02,400 --> 03:46:03,400
a great job for

5551
03:46:03,400 --> 03:46:05,400
this. Countless times people said

5552
03:46:05,400 --> 03:46:06,400
you are on

5553
03:46:06,400 --> 03:46:08,400
the county board. No, unified. Santa

5554
03:46:08,400 --> 03:46:10,400
clara is also

5555
03:46:10,400 --> 03:46:11,400
a county. I think the addition of

5556
03:46:11,400 --> 03:46:13,400
city of really

5557
03:46:14,400 --> 03:46:16,400
kind of

5558
03:46:16,400 --> 03:46:17,400
makes sure that people understand

5559
03:46:17,400 --> 03:46:20,400
where this is happening. And a

5560
03:46:20,400 --> 03:46:22,400
lot of

5561
03:46:23,400 --> 03:46:25,800
the things as far

5562
03:46:26,400 --> 03:46:27,400
as happening at levi

5563
03:46:27,400 --> 03:46:28,400
stadium are sporting events. There's

5564
03:46:28,400 --> 03:46:29,400
concerts and other things that happen. But

5565
03:46:29,400 --> 03:46:31,400
I think

5566
03:46:32,400 --> 03:46:33,400
a lot of the input. Some of the suggestions

5567
03:46:33,400 --> 03:46:35,400
we hear are probably things we will

5568
03:46:35,400 --> 03:46:37,800
see as far as

5569
03:46:38,400 --> 03:46:40,400
pictures or

5570
03:46:41,400 --> 03:46:43,400
things like

5571
03:46:44,400 --> 03:46:46,400
that. But

5572
03:46:47,400 --> 03:46:49,400
definitely, I'm

5573
03:46:50,400 --> 03:46:53,400
good with the logo and slogan. Thank

5574
03:46:53,400 --> 03:46:55,400
you

5575
03:46:56,400 --> 03:46:58,400
for the staff and

5576
03:46:58,400 --> 03:46:59,400
the community that were well represented

5577
03:46:59,400 --> 03:47:00,400
at the meeting.

5578
03:47:00,400 --> 03:47:02,400
>> thank you

5579
03:47:02,400 --> 03:47:03,400
very much for the input. I actually

5580
03:47:03,400 --> 03:47:05,400
like councilmember chahal's thoughts

5581
03:47:05,400 --> 03:47:07,400
about putting the imagery of

5582
03:47:07,400 --> 03:47:08,400
football and soccer ball. I mean,

5583
03:47:08,400 --> 03:47:10,800
the only difference I

5584
03:47:11,400 --> 03:47:13,400
would

5585
03:47:14,400 --> 03:47:16,400
say, is understand the mission. And I

5586
03:47:16,400 --> 03:47:17,400
like the mission having pictures of

5587
03:47:17,400 --> 03:47:18,400
the mission. If I saw a football or

5588
03:47:18,400 --> 03:47:20,400
a soccer ball, I would rather see

5589
03:47:20,400 --> 03:47:22,800
that and the two

5590
03:47:23,400 --> 03:47:25,400
and the

5591
03:47:25,400 --> 03:47:29,400
six for that mark. Maybe santa clara should

5592
03:47:29,400 --> 03:47:31,400
be a little

5593
03:47:32,400 --> 03:47:34,800
more prominent. Again, when

5594
03:47:35,400 --> 03:47:37,400
we look at

5595
03:47:37,400 --> 03:47:38,400
advertising. Intel did an interesting

5596
03:47:38,400 --> 03:47:40,400
thing. You knew. You didn't

5597
03:47:40,400 --> 03:47:41,400
have to hear anything. You never had

5598
03:47:41,400 --> 03:47:43,400
to

5599
03:47:44,400 --> 03:47:46,400
hear. It

5600
03:47:47,400 --> 03:47:50,400
was a sound trademark. You

5601
03:47:50,400 --> 03:47:53,400
knew that is intel. And they

5602
03:47:53,400 --> 03:47:55,400
could have

5603
03:47:56,400 --> 03:47:59,400
a scene about something else

5604
03:47:59,400 --> 03:48:01,400
completely. I

5605
03:48:02,400 --> 03:48:04,400
kind

5606
03:48:05,400 --> 03:48:08,400
of like this thought. Something

5607
03:48:08,400 --> 03:48:09,400
that is part of. You know. Just something

5608
03:48:09,400 --> 03:48:11,400
that invokes

5609
03:48:11,400 --> 03:48:12,400
oh, that is santa clara. That is their

5610
03:48:12,400 --> 03:48:13,400
little sound

5611
03:48:13,400 --> 03:48:14,400
thing. Or something like that. It doesn't

5612
03:48:14,400 --> 03:48:15,400
have to be a sound. It could be an

5613
03:48:15,400 --> 03:48:17,400
image. It

5614
03:48:17,400 --> 03:48:20,400
could be a shape. Whatever it

5615
03:48:20,400 --> 03:48:22,400
is. In fact, and he seeded this

5616
03:48:22,400 --> 03:48:23,400
also with a 3d indentation in their

5617
03:48:23,400 --> 03:48:25,400
monitor. So if

5618
03:48:25,400 --> 03:48:26,400
you saw this indentation, they put

5619
03:48:26,400 --> 03:48:28,400
it on almost every

5620
03:48:28,400 --> 03:48:29,400
corner on one corner of every single

5621
03:48:29,400 --> 03:48:31,400
piece of

5622
03:48:32,400 --> 03:48:33,400
equipment that

5623
03:48:33,400 --> 03:48:35,400
they had. You knew. Than wasn't any

5624
03:48:35,400 --> 03:48:36,400
piece of equipment. Even if you couldn't

5625
03:48:36,400 --> 03:48:37,400
see the

5626
03:48:37,400 --> 03:48:39,400
front or the name. Because you saw

5627
03:48:39,400 --> 03:48:40,400
the shape and

5628
03:48:40,400 --> 03:48:44,000
you saw that little indentation. And

5629
03:48:45,400 --> 03:48:47,400
I

5630
03:48:48,400 --> 03:48:50,800
kind of like logos.

5631
03:48:54,400 --> 03:48:56,800
logos that are 3d.

5632
03:48:57,400 --> 03:48:59,800
you know what they

5633
03:49:00,400 --> 03:49:02,400
are

5634
03:49:03,400 --> 03:49:05,400
without

5635
03:49:06,400 --> 03:49:07,400
having to see it. I appreciate

5636
03:49:07,400 --> 03:49:09,400
the city manager's comments about

5637
03:49:09,400 --> 03:49:12,400
we don't know if we will give

5638
03:49:12,400 --> 03:49:15,400
those away. But we need

5639
03:49:15,400 --> 03:49:17,400
a budget for

5640
03:49:18,400 --> 03:49:19,400
gifts. Can think of

5641
03:49:19,400 --> 03:49:21,400
sister cities. If japan, ireland,

5642
03:49:21,400 --> 03:49:23,400
korea or any

5643
03:49:23,400 --> 03:49:25,400
of our sister cities makes it into

5644
03:49:25,400 --> 03:49:27,400
a world cup game. If that world cup

5645
03:49:27,400 --> 03:49:28,400
game is here,

5646
03:49:28,400 --> 03:49:30,400
it will be pandemonium. I'm saying

5647
03:49:30,400 --> 03:49:33,400
even if they don't make it here,

5648
03:49:33,400 --> 03:49:34,400
it would be nice to have something

5649
03:49:34,400 --> 03:49:38,600
that we should share with our sister

5650
03:49:39,400 --> 03:49:41,800
cities and everyone that

5651
03:49:42,400 --> 03:49:45,400
comes. Everyone on the exchange

5652
03:49:45,400 --> 03:49:48,400
will have a special year. I think

5653
03:49:48,400 --> 03:49:51,400
26 is memorable. It is what makes

5654
03:49:51,400 --> 03:49:53,400
this

5655
03:49:53,400 --> 03:49:54,400
special even if we have, even if we

5656
03:49:54,400 --> 03:49:56,400
use this

5657
03:49:56,400 --> 03:49:57,400
slogan for other years. Anything with the

5658
03:49:57,400 --> 03:49:59,400
two six in

5659
03:50:00,400 --> 03:50:02,400
it

5660
03:50:03,400 --> 03:50:05,400
will

5661
03:50:05,400 --> 03:50:06,400
be very meaningful. This is so much

5662
03:50:06,400 --> 03:50:08,400
more. But

5663
03:50:09,400 --> 03:50:11,400
I

5664
03:50:11,400 --> 03:50:12,400
will leave it at that. Again I would

5665
03:50:12,400 --> 03:50:14,400
like to find

5666
03:50:15,400 --> 03:50:17,400
a

5667
03:50:18,400 --> 03:50:20,400
way to make

5668
03:50:20,400 --> 03:50:21,400
soccer and football into the logos

5669
03:50:21,400 --> 03:50:23,400
without

5670
03:50:24,400 --> 03:50:27,400
being explicit in your face. And understand

5671
03:50:27,400 --> 03:50:28,400
this is what this is

5672
03:50:28,400 --> 03:50:30,400
about. Again, the 2 doesn't do it

5673
03:50:30,400 --> 03:50:32,400
and the 6 doesn't do it

5674
03:50:32,400 --> 03:50:36,400
but I will trust the wisdom of the

5675
03:50:36,400 --> 03:50:39,400
masses. But again, if we could do

5676
03:50:39,400 --> 03:50:41,400
something to bring

5677
03:50:42,400 --> 03:50:44,400
up the events

5678
03:50:44,400 --> 03:50:45,400
in particular, I think that would

5679
03:50:45,400 --> 03:50:47,400
be

5680
03:50:47,400 --> 03:50:48,400
very good. Do things about 3d logos

5681
03:50:48,400 --> 03:50:50,400
or sound trademarks

5682
03:50:50,400 --> 03:50:54,400
and that would be a nice thing for

5683
03:50:54,400 --> 03:50:56,400
the

5684
03:50:57,400 --> 03:50:58,400
city in general. Even outside of 2026.

5685

>>

5686
03:50:59,400 --> 03:51:00,400
councilmember

5687
03:51:00,400 --> 03:51:01,400
chahal. Your hand is still up. Did

5688
03:51:01,400 --> 03:51:03,400
you have more

5689
03:51:03,400 --> 03:51:04,400
to say quickly?

5690
03:51:04,400 --> 03:51:05,400
>> just

5691
03:51:05,400 --> 03:51:06,400
a quick comment. I know wanda mentioned

5692
03:51:06,400 --> 03:51:08,400
and a couple

5693
03:51:09,400 --> 03:51:11,400
of you mentioned santa

5694
03:51:11,400 --> 03:51:12,400
clara should be prominent. Can we

5695
03:51:12,400 --> 03:51:14,400
move

5696
03:51:15,400 --> 03:51:17,400
city of

5697
03:51:18,400 --> 03:51:20,400
santa

5698
03:51:20,400 --> 03:51:24,400
clara to the left? Where mission meets

5699
03:51:24,400 --> 03:51:25,400
the moment?

5700
03:51:25,400 --> 03:51:27,400
>> no. >>

5701
03:51:27,400 --> 03:51:28,400
no?

5702
03:51:28,400 --> 03:51:30,400
>> it wrecks it. The city of

5703
03:51:30,400 --> 03:51:31,400
santa clara. No.

5704
03:51:31,400 --> 03:51:32,400
>> the

5705
03:51:32,400 --> 03:51:33,400
city of santa clara where the mission

5706
03:51:33,400 --> 03:51:34,400
meets the moment.

5707
03:51:34,400 --> 03:51:35,400
>>

5708
03:51:35,400 --> 03:51:36,400
it's balanced. Anyway, in my opinion,

5709
03:51:36,400 --> 03:51:38,800
it's balanced. We are

5710
03:51:39,400 --> 03:51:41,400
not moving things

5711
03:51:42,400 --> 03:51:44,400
around

5712
03:51:44,400 --> 03:51:45,400
now. No. I'm just suggesting not asking.

5713
03:51:45,400 --> 03:51:46,400
>> I

5714
03:51:46,400 --> 03:51:48,400
thought you said can we

5715
03:51:48,400 --> 03:51:49,400
do that.

5716
03:51:49,400 --> 03:51:50,400
>>

5717
03:51:50,400 --> 03:51:51,400
can we is a suggestion.

5718
03:51:51,400 --> 03:51:52,400
>> all right,

5719
03:51:52,400 --> 03:51:53,400
councilmember park?

5720
03:51:53,400 --> 03:51:54,400
>> there are

5721
03:51:54,400 --> 03:51:55,400
a lot of things that are kind of up

5722
03:51:55,400 --> 03:51:56,400
in the

5723
03:51:56,400 --> 03:51:57,400
air. We have been told we can change

5724
03:51:57,400 --> 03:51:58,400
the pictures and we have

5725
03:51:58,400 --> 03:52:00,400
been told different things. There

5726
03:52:00,400 --> 03:52:02,400
is a little

5727
03:52:03,400 --> 03:52:05,400
bit of input

5728
03:52:05,400 --> 03:52:06,400
that is here. The reason we have this

5729
03:52:06,400 --> 03:52:08,800
discussion is to make

5730
03:52:09,400 --> 03:52:11,400
suggestions

5731
03:52:12,400 --> 03:52:14,400
and do

5732
03:52:15,400 --> 03:52:16,400
different things. My question is with

5733
03:52:16,400 --> 03:52:18,400
the

5734
03:52:18,400 --> 03:52:20,800
motion to approve this

5735
03:52:21,400 --> 03:52:23,400
slogan and logo

5736
03:52:26,400 --> 03:52:27,400
makes it sound very final and a lot

5737
03:52:27,400 --> 03:52:29,400
of work

5738
03:52:30,400 --> 03:52:31,400
needs to be done. We have tight deadlines. October

5739
03:52:31,400 --> 03:52:33,400
4

5740
03:52:33,400 --> 03:52:36,400
is a date we would

5741
03:52:36,400 --> 03:52:39,400
like to get in front

5742
03:52:39,400 --> 03:52:40,400
of when we approve with this motion,

5743
03:52:40,400 --> 03:52:41,400
do

5744
03:52:41,400 --> 03:52:42,400
we allow the design teams lee way

5745
03:52:42,400 --> 03:52:43,400
to make

5746
03:52:43,400 --> 03:52:45,400
changes to act on things? To maybe

5747
03:52:45,400 --> 03:52:47,400
they

5748
03:52:48,400 --> 03:52:51,400
don't even need council approve

5749
03:52:51,400 --> 03:52:54,400
to do things. Maybe they want

5750
03:52:54,400 --> 03:52:57,400
it. But, does this motion or

5751
03:52:57,400 --> 03:52:59,400
can we make a motion

5752
03:52:59,400 --> 03:53:00,400
that allows a little leeway. I don't

5753
03:53:00,400 --> 03:53:02,400
know how

5754
03:53:03,400 --> 03:53:04,400
much is given.

5755
03:53:04,400 --> 03:53:06,400
>>

5756
03:53:06,400 --> 03:53:07,400
city manager?

5757
03:53:07,400 --> 03:53:08,400
>>

5758
03:53:08,400 --> 03:53:09,400
sure. Thank you mayor. Know that staff

5759
03:53:09,400 --> 03:53:11,400
and our

5760
03:53:11,400 --> 03:53:12,400
consultants have been noting the conversation

5761
03:53:12,400 --> 03:53:14,400
and

5762
03:53:15,400 --> 03:53:16,400
we are certainly taking it in. In

5763
03:53:16,400 --> 03:53:18,400
the recommendation, there is a key

5764
03:53:18,400 --> 03:53:19,400
phrase that says

5765
03:53:19,400 --> 03:53:21,400
subject to minor modifications. What

5766
03:53:21,400 --> 03:53:23,400
the

5767
03:53:24,400 --> 03:53:26,400
city council is really doing is

5768
03:53:26,400 --> 03:53:27,400
accepting the slogan and the basic

5769
03:53:27,400 --> 03:53:29,400
framework of

5770
03:53:30,400 --> 03:53:32,400
the logo

5771
03:53:33,400 --> 03:53:36,400
and nothing I have heard tonight

5772
03:53:36,400 --> 03:53:38,800
is really in contrast

5773
03:53:39,400 --> 03:53:41,800
to those basic foundational

5774
03:53:42,400 --> 03:53:44,400
points and

5775
03:53:45,400 --> 03:53:47,400
I

5776
03:53:47,400 --> 03:53:48,400
like the councilmember chahal's suggestion

5777
03:53:48,400 --> 03:53:50,400
that we

5778
03:53:51,400 --> 03:53:53,400
may adapt

5779
03:53:54,400 --> 03:53:57,400
it to fit the moment and

5780
03:53:57,400 --> 03:54:00,400
as the campaign unfolds itself

5781
03:54:00,400 --> 03:54:02,400
and I

5782
03:54:03,400 --> 03:54:05,400
think there can be

5783
03:54:05,400 --> 03:54:09,000
very important moments where a slight

5784
03:54:09,400 --> 03:54:11,400
change can elevate us. We

5785
03:54:11,400 --> 03:54:12,400
can accomplish those.

5786
03:54:12,400 --> 03:54:13,400
>> the reason

5787
03:54:13,400 --> 03:54:15,400
I bring

5788
03:54:15,400 --> 03:54:18,400
this up, councilmember chahal said

5789
03:54:18,400 --> 03:54:20,400
what if

5790
03:54:21,400 --> 03:54:23,400
we switched. I think it reads

5791
03:54:23,400 --> 03:54:24,400
just fine. But then I heard that is

5792
03:54:24,400 --> 03:54:26,400
too big of

5793
03:54:27,400 --> 03:54:30,400
a change. We cannot do

5794
03:54:30,400 --> 03:54:33,400
that. And I don't know that, you say

5795
03:54:33,400 --> 03:54:35,400
subject to minor

5796
03:54:36,400 --> 03:54:37,400
modification. What is a minor modification?

5797
03:54:37,400 --> 03:54:38,400
>>

5798
03:54:38,400 --> 03:54:39,400
excuse me councilmember park. Please. Just

5799
03:54:39,400 --> 03:54:40,400
one second.

5800
03:54:40,400 --> 03:54:42,400
>> I just want

5801
03:54:42,400 --> 03:54:44,800
to clarify. The motion

5802
03:54:45,400 --> 03:54:47,400
is to approve this logo. This

5803
03:54:47,400 --> 03:54:48,400
logo. We said the pictures can change

5804
03:54:48,400 --> 03:54:50,400
and other things

5805
03:54:51,400 --> 03:54:52,400
but it is specifically this logo.

5806
03:54:52,400 --> 03:54:53,400
>>

5807
03:54:53,400 --> 03:54:54,400
that is

5808
03:54:54,400 --> 03:54:55,400
why I'm asking the question. That

5809
03:54:55,400 --> 03:54:57,400
is literally

5810
03:54:57,400 --> 03:54:59,400
why

5811
03:55:00,400 --> 03:55:01,400
I'm asking this question. Right. I

5812
03:55:01,400 --> 03:55:03,400
will state

5813
03:55:03,400 --> 03:55:05,400
if we

5814
03:55:06,400 --> 03:55:08,400
change the imagery

5815
03:55:09,400 --> 03:55:11,800
closer to super bowl,

5816
03:55:12,400 --> 03:55:14,800
if we are able

5817
03:55:15,400 --> 03:55:16,400
to make something that illicits the

5818
03:55:16,400 --> 03:55:18,400
feel

5819
03:55:18,400 --> 03:55:20,800
of super bowl and

5820
03:55:21,400 --> 03:55:23,400
football

5821
03:55:24,400 --> 03:55:26,400
and

5822
03:55:27,400 --> 03:55:29,800
fifa and world cup.

5823
03:55:33,400 --> 03:55:37,400
>> mayor, if I can. >> this is where you

5824
03:55:37,400 --> 03:55:38,400
are to go to get rid of that.

5825
03:55:38,400 --> 03:55:39,400
>>

5826
03:55:39,400 --> 03:55:40,400
this is where policy setting, body

5827
03:55:40,400 --> 03:55:42,400
goes

5828
03:55:43,400 --> 03:55:45,800
off the rails. It

5829
03:55:46,400 --> 03:55:48,800
is why you defer

5830
03:55:49,400 --> 03:55:52,400
matters like this to staff. It

5831
03:55:52,400 --> 03:55:54,400
is really

5832
03:55:54,400 --> 03:55:55,400
a policy level threshold. Decision

5833
03:55:55,400 --> 03:55:57,400
on

5834
03:55:58,400 --> 03:56:00,400
the slogan and the real

5835
03:56:00,400 --> 03:56:01,400
structure. If there are minor tweaks

5836
03:56:01,400 --> 03:56:03,400
to the

5837
03:56:04,400 --> 03:56:07,400
logo, we can accomplish that. We

5838
03:56:07,400 --> 03:56:08,400
do that normally with

5839
03:56:08,400 --> 03:56:10,400
delegated discretion. Nothing will

5840
03:56:10,400 --> 03:56:13,400
change that. It is hard to

5841
03:56:13,400 --> 03:56:14,400
do

5842
03:56:14,400 --> 03:56:16,400
this stuff by committee. Your committee

5843
03:56:16,400 --> 03:56:18,400
of the

5844
03:56:18,400 --> 03:56:19,400
whole right now. At the staff level. We

5845
03:56:19,400 --> 03:56:21,400
really

5846
03:56:22,400 --> 03:56:24,400
relied heavily on the

5847
03:56:24,400 --> 03:56:28,000
expertise of our marketing agency. Because,

5848
03:56:28,400 --> 03:56:30,800
there are people that

5849
03:56:31,400 --> 03:56:32,400
dedicate their lives

5850
03:56:32,400 --> 03:56:34,400
to this. And expertise we wanted to

5851
03:56:34,400 --> 03:56:37,400
rely on. We know it

5852
03:56:37,400 --> 03:56:40,400
is not a perfect science. We

5853
03:56:40,400 --> 03:56:41,400
walked up here today. With the

5854
03:56:41,400 --> 03:56:43,400
input from the committee realizing

5855
03:56:43,400 --> 03:56:45,400
that

5856
03:56:46,400 --> 03:56:48,400
minor

5857
03:56:48,400 --> 03:56:52,000
shifts in the imagery. The colors

5858
03:56:52,400 --> 03:56:54,400
may

5859
03:56:54,400 --> 03:56:55,400
change. What we wanted to present. The

5860
03:56:55,400 --> 03:56:57,400
basic

5861
03:56:58,400 --> 03:56:59,400
structure of the slogan and

5862
03:56:59,400 --> 03:57:01,400
the logo. And, really delegate minor

5863
03:57:01,400 --> 03:57:03,400
changes in details

5864
03:57:03,400 --> 03:57:04,400
to staff. And it would be wildly inefficient

5865
03:57:04,400 --> 03:57:06,400
for us

5866
03:57:07,400 --> 03:57:09,400
to come

5867
03:57:10,400 --> 03:57:12,400
back

5868
03:57:12,400 --> 03:57:13,400
to the body. With such minor changes.

5869
03:57:13,400 --> 03:57:14,400
>>

5870
03:57:14,400 --> 03:57:15,400
city clerk?

5871
03:57:15,400 --> 03:57:16,400
>> I would like to respond

5872
03:57:16,400 --> 03:57:19,400
to that. I understand that which is

5873
03:57:19,400 --> 03:57:20,400
why

5874
03:57:20,400 --> 03:57:22,400
think concept of minor changes, we

5875
03:57:22,400 --> 03:57:24,400
heard we

5876
03:57:25,400 --> 03:57:27,400
are

5877
03:57:28,400 --> 03:57:31,400
approving this logo. This slogan. And,

5878
03:57:31,400 --> 03:57:33,400
again, if

5879
03:57:34,400 --> 03:57:37,400
things change, if we flip where the,

5880
03:57:37,400 --> 03:57:39,400
I don't know

5881
03:57:40,400 --> 03:57:42,400
if

5882
03:57:46,400 --> 03:57:48,800
that's a big thing.

5883
03:57:49,400 --> 03:57:50,400
some committee.

5884
03:57:50,400 --> 03:57:52,400
>> you are

5885
03:57:52,400 --> 03:57:54,400
becoming out

5886
03:57:55,400 --> 03:57:57,400
of

5887
03:58:04,400 --> 03:58:05,400
yes by council mechanic gonzalez.

5888
03:58:05,400 --> 03:58:08,400
all right. Please register your vote.

5889
03:58:08,400 --> 03:58:10,400
and

5890
03:58:10,400 --> 03:58:11,400
that passes 6-0 with one abstention.

5891
03:58:11,400 --> 03:58:13,400
thank

5892
03:58:14,400 --> 03:58:15,400
you. We're going to take a ten-

5893
03:58:15,400 --> 03:58:17,400
minute break, comfort break. We've been at this for a while.

5894
03:58:17,400 --> 03:58:19,400
thank you.

5895
04:08:48,400 --> 04:08:52,000
>>> could everyone take their seats, please.

5896
04:08:59,400 --> 04:09:03,000
could everyone take their seats, please.

5897
04:09:18,400 --> 04:09:20,400
the next

5898
04:09:20,400 --> 04:09:21,400
item on the agenda is item number

5899
04:09:21,400 --> 04:09:24,400
7, action on a proposed league agreement

5900
04:09:24,400 --> 04:09:25,400
with the bay area host committee,

5901
04:09:25,400 --> 04:09:27,400
49ers

5902
04:09:28,400 --> 04:09:29,400
sc stadium company, llc

5903
04:09:29,400 --> 04:09:31,400
and 49ers stadium management company,

5904
04:09:31,400 --> 04:09:32,400
llc to

5905

host super bowl lx at levi's stadium.

5906
04:09:34,400 --> 04:09:36,400
city manager.

5907
04:09:40,400 --> 04:09:41,400
>> good evening, afternoon,

5908
04:09:41,400 --> 04:09:43,400
night, council. Happy to be here.

5909
04:09:43,400 --> 04:09:45,400
as you know,

5910
04:09:45,400 --> 04:09:49,600
we were last here on august 26th.

5911
04:09:52,400 --> 04:09:54,400
we're here

5912
04:09:55,400 --> 04:09:56,400
today to present a

5913
04:09:56,400 --> 04:09:58,400
proposed league event agreement with

5914
04:09:58,400 --> 04:10:00,400
the bay area host

5915
04:10:00,400 --> 04:10:03,400
committee, the 49ers stadium company,

5916
04:10:03,400 --> 04:10:04,400
llc, and the 49ers management company

5917
04:10:04,400 --> 04:10:09,200
to host super bowl lx at levi's stadium.

5918
04:10:10,400 --> 04:10:13,400
our agenda is as follows.

5919
04:10:13,400 --> 04:10:14,400
we'll have a brief

5920
04:10:14,400 --> 04:10:15,400
introduction, background. Council

5921
04:10:15,400 --> 04:10:16,400
will know that we have been before

5922
04:10:16,400 --> 04:10:18,400
you numerous

5923
04:10:18,400 --> 04:10:20,400
times before, and on august 26th,

5924
04:10:20,400 --> 04:10:22,400
we had a pretty detailed background.

5925
04:10:22,400 --> 04:10:23,400
we've lightened that up for

5926
04:10:23,400 --> 04:10:25,400
you tonight. I have a number of slides that

5927
04:10:25,400 --> 04:10:27,400
I will go through at

5928
04:10:27,400 --> 04:10:28,400
probably a fast clip because it's

5929
04:10:28,400 --> 04:10:29,400
background and

5930
04:10:29,400 --> 04:10:31,400
we want to get to the meat of the

5931
04:10:31,400 --> 04:10:33,400
presentation, which will be

5932
04:10:33,400 --> 04:10:34,400
our city attorney going through the

5933
04:10:34,400 --> 04:10:36,400
key deal points. So

5934
04:10:36,400 --> 04:10:37,400
we will do that, and then we have

5935
04:10:37,400 --> 04:10:38,400
a staff

5936
04:10:38,400 --> 04:10:40,400
recommendation. So a little bit of the

5937
04:10:40,400 --> 04:10:42,400
introduction.

5938
04:10:42,400 --> 04:10:43,400
as you know, we presented the prior

5939
04:10:43,400 --> 04:10:45,400
draft on

5940
04:10:46,400 --> 04:10:49,400
the 26th. We heard from

5941
04:10:49,400 --> 04:10:52,400
the city council, took feedback, and

5942
04:10:52,400 --> 04:10:54,400
are returning

5943
04:10:54,400 --> 04:10:55,400
tonight. We're presenting the updated

5944
04:10:55,400 --> 04:10:57,400
league

5945
04:10:58,400 --> 04:10:59,400
event agreement. And the league

5946
04:10:59,400 --> 04:11:01,400
event agreement importantly provides

5947
04:11:01,400 --> 04:11:03,400
for a number of

5948
04:11:03,400 --> 04:11:04,400
things. Really, we are the lead local

5949
04:11:04,400 --> 04:11:06,400
agency providing

5950
04:11:06,400 --> 04:11:07,400
for safety and security at levi's

5951
04:11:07,400 --> 04:11:09,400
stadium for the

5952
04:11:09,400 --> 04:11:12,400
game and all those related events

5953
04:11:12,400 --> 04:11:13,400
that will occur in santa clara. We

5954
04:11:13,400 --> 04:11:15,400
need to ensure that

5955
04:11:15,400 --> 04:11:16,400
there's reimbursement for all event

5956
04:11:16,400 --> 04:11:18,400
costs as well

5957
04:11:18,400 --> 04:11:19,400
as we need to safeguard and mitigate

5958
04:11:19,400 --> 04:11:21,400
any potential

5959
04:11:22,400 --> 04:11:25,400
risk and liability. We had a

5960
04:11:25,400 --> 04:11:26,400
long discussion last time

5961
04:11:26,400 --> 04:11:30,600
around the bid process and how that

5962
04:11:31,400 --> 04:11:33,400
unfolded. And so as we all

5963
04:11:33,400 --> 04:11:36,400
know, this coming february, february

5964
04:11:37,400 --> 04:11:39,800
8th, levi's stadium will

5965
04:11:40,400 --> 04:11:42,400
host super bowl lx. Shortly

5966
04:11:42,400 --> 04:11:45,400
thereafter, we will host six fifa world

5967
04:11:45,400 --> 04:11:46,400
cup gamesgames june 13th and july

5968
04:11:46,400 --> 04:11:48,400
1. We have

5969
04:11:48,400 --> 04:11:49,400
been working proactively with a number

5970
04:11:49,400 --> 04:11:50,400
of our

5971
04:11:50,400 --> 04:11:51,400
stakeholders. There was a list in

5972
04:11:51,400 --> 04:11:52,400
the prior slide deck that had the

5973
04:11:52,400 --> 04:11:54,400
list of all of

5974
04:11:54,400 --> 04:11:55,400
our partners. But just as a quick

5975
04:11:55,400 --> 04:11:57,800
reminder, there's what we

5976
04:11:58,400 --> 04:12:00,400
call the host

5977
04:12:01,400 --> 04:12:03,800
committee, the bay area

5978
04:12:04,400 --> 04:12:06,400
host committee, bahc, which is

5979
04:12:06,400 --> 04:12:07,400
really the regional sports and entertainment

5980
04:12:07,400 --> 04:12:09,400
commission for the bay area. You

5981
04:12:09,400 --> 04:12:10,400
are sitting as both the city and the

5982
04:12:10,400 --> 04:12:12,800
stadium authority for this

5983
04:12:13,400 --> 04:12:16,400
item. There are various 49er entities,

5984
04:12:16,400 --> 04:12:17,400
namely the management company, teamco, which is

5985
04:12:17,400 --> 04:12:19,400
the

5986
04:12:19,400 --> 04:12:20,400
team, and statco, which is the

5987
04:12:20,400 --> 04:12:22,400
entity that has the lease with the

5988
04:12:22,400 --> 04:12:23,400
stadium authority. And we will talk

5989
04:12:23,400 --> 04:12:24,400
about

5990
04:12:24,400 --> 04:12:25,400
that through the agreement. And then

5991
04:12:25,400 --> 04:12:28,400
all of our various regional stakeholders.

5992
04:12:28,400 --> 04:12:30,400
I'll go through

5993
04:12:30,400 --> 04:12:31,400
this at a real high level, but as

5994
04:12:31,400 --> 04:12:33,400
we all know,

5995
04:12:34,400 --> 04:12:36,400
and we've talked about the 2016 bid

5996
04:12:36,400 --> 04:12:37,400
process was totally different. The

5997
04:12:37,400 --> 04:12:39,400
nfl has

5998
04:12:40,400 --> 04:12:41,400
totally changed their process ten

5999
04:12:41,400 --> 04:12:43,400
years later.

6000
04:12:43,400 --> 04:12:46,400
and so it is no

6001
04:12:46,400 --> 04:12:48,400
longer a process where

6002
04:12:48,400 --> 04:12:49,400
everything gets put out --a package

6003
04:12:49,400 --> 04:12:51,400
is put out

6004
04:12:52,400 --> 04:12:55,400
asking various cities to bid. As you

6005
04:12:55,400 --> 04:12:58,400
all know, there was agreements

6006
04:12:58,400 --> 04:13:01,400
that were negotiated between the

6007
04:13:01,400 --> 04:13:03,400
city and the nfl well in

6008
04:13:03,400 --> 04:13:04,400
advance of the super bowl. Important

6009
04:13:04,400 --> 04:13:06,400
to note, and we'll talk about

6010
04:13:06,400 --> 04:13:07,400
that, we mentioned that in detail

6011
04:13:07,400 --> 04:13:09,400
on

6012
04:13:10,400 --> 04:13:12,400
august 26th. That prior agreement

6013
04:13:12,400 --> 04:13:13,400
included no rental fee for the stadium.

6014
04:13:13,400 --> 04:13:15,400
no rental

6015
04:13:15,400 --> 04:13:16,400
fee for the convention center. And

6016
04:13:16,400 --> 04:13:18,400
no senior and

6017
04:13:19,400 --> 04:13:22,400
youth fee. As we talked about, we

6018
04:13:22,400 --> 04:13:23,400
really look to improve upon that through

6019
04:13:23,400 --> 04:13:25,400
these negotiations.

6020
04:13:25,400 --> 04:13:28,400
and I will say that you sent

6021
04:13:28,400 --> 04:13:29,400
the mission, and we met the moment.

6022
04:13:29,400 --> 04:13:30,400
and

6023
04:13:30,400 --> 04:13:31,400
so with --that didn't go over well, no one laughed at

6024
04:13:31,400 --> 04:13:33,400
that.

6025
04:13:37,400 --> 04:13:40,400
with the super bowl bid process, I'll talk

6026
04:13:40,400 --> 04:13:42,400
about reimbursement agreements.

6027
04:13:43,400 --> 04:13:46,400
so as you know, as we were

6028
04:13:46,400 --> 04:13:47,400
negotiating the agreements, the city entered into

6029
04:13:47,400 --> 04:13:48,400
a

6030
04:13:48,400 --> 04:13:49,400
number of reimbursement agreements

6031
04:13:49,400 --> 04:13:51,400
with the bay area

6032
04:13:51,400 --> 04:13:52,400
host committee to ensure all our planning costs

6033
04:13:52,400 --> 04:13:54,400
were covered.

6034
04:13:54,400 --> 04:13:55,400
it's up there, we've talked about

6035
04:13:55,400 --> 04:13:57,800
that. You can find

6036
04:13:58,400 --> 04:14:01,400
all of that information on a website.

6037
04:14:01,400 --> 04:14:03,400
and so

6038
04:14:04,400 --> 04:14:06,400
with that, let me

6039
04:14:06,400 --> 04:14:07,400
give you a quick overview of the negotiation

6040
04:14:07,400 --> 04:14:09,400
process. As the council

6041
04:14:09,400 --> 04:14:10,400
knows, it really began in earnest

6042
04:14:10,400 --> 04:14:11,400
in 2024

6043
04:14:11,400 --> 04:14:13,400
with preliminary negotiations with

6044
04:14:13,400 --> 04:14:16,400
the host committee and the

6045
04:14:16,400 --> 04:14:19,400
49ers. It's also important to note that

6046
04:14:19,400 --> 04:14:21,400
we were concurrently negotiating

6047
04:14:21,400 --> 04:14:22,400
the fifa assignment and assumption

6048
04:14:22,400 --> 04:14:24,400
agreement.

6049
04:14:25,400 --> 04:14:26,400
that agreement took precedence over

6050
04:14:26,400 --> 04:14:28,400
the

6051
04:14:28,400 --> 04:14:30,400
league event

6052
04:14:31,400 --> 04:14:33,400
agreement for various reasons.

6053
04:14:33,400 --> 04:14:34,400
namely, we needed to acquire documents,

6054
04:14:34,400 --> 04:14:36,400
and we went through a very

6055
04:14:36,400 --> 04:14:37,400
in-depth public process to acquire

6056
04:14:37,400 --> 04:14:39,400
those documents to

6057
04:14:40,400 --> 04:14:42,400
fully understand and comprehend

6058
04:14:42,400 --> 04:14:43,400
what hosting the fifa world cup meant.

6059
04:14:43,400 --> 04:14:45,400
and so we did

6060
04:14:45,400 --> 04:14:46,400
that, and then we pressed forward

6061
04:14:46,400 --> 04:14:48,800
with those negotiations, and

6062
04:14:49,400 --> 04:14:51,800
that landed with you

6063
04:14:52,400 --> 04:14:53,400
adopting a assignment and substance

6064
04:14:53,400 --> 04:14:55,400
agreement

6065
04:14:55,400 --> 04:14:57,400
on february 11th,

6066
04:14:58,400 --> 04:15:00,800
2026, for fifa world cub.

6067
04:15:01,400 --> 04:15:02,400
next, it's important to note that

6068
04:15:02,400 --> 04:15:04,400
business and legal

6069
04:15:04,400 --> 04:15:07,400
staff participated in numerous negotiations

6070
04:15:08,400 --> 04:15:11,400
over the last year-plus. We

6071
04:15:11,400 --> 04:15:13,400
reviewed the framework.

6072
04:15:14,400 --> 04:15:16,400
for the league event agreement.

6073
04:15:16,400 --> 04:15:17,400
I'm sorry, the assignment and assumption

6074
04:15:17,400 --> 04:15:19,400
agreement. A number of

6075
04:15:19,400 --> 04:15:20,400
the terms that the city attorney went

6076
04:15:20,400 --> 04:15:22,400
through the last

6077
04:15:22,400 --> 04:15:23,400
time mirrored terms in the fifa assignment

6078
04:15:23,400 --> 04:15:24,400
and

6079
04:15:24,400 --> 04:15:26,400
assumption agreement. Because you've

6080
04:15:26,400 --> 04:15:27,400
heard

6081
04:15:27,400 --> 04:15:29,400
them multiple times, we're not going

6082
04:15:29,400 --> 04:15:31,400
to go through those in detail

6083
04:15:31,400 --> 04:15:32,400
today. We also wanted to look at lessons

6084
04:15:32,400 --> 04:15:34,400
learned from

6085
04:15:34,400 --> 04:15:37,400
the prior agreement. As you know,

6086
04:15:37,400 --> 04:15:40,400
key staff attended the prior two super

6087
04:15:40,400 --> 04:15:41,400
bowls in las vegas and new orleans,

6088
04:15:41,400 --> 04:15:42,400
really to

6089
04:15:42,400 --> 04:15:44,400
comprehend what hosting a super bowl

6090
04:15:44,400 --> 04:15:47,400
means. While we still have some

6091
04:15:47,400 --> 04:15:50,400
staff here in santa clara that

6092
04:15:50,400 --> 04:15:53,400
were here for super bowl xvi, the

6093
04:15:53,400 --> 04:15:54,400
reality is pretty much

6094
04:15:54,400 --> 04:15:56,400
80% of senior leadership has changed

6095
04:15:56,400 --> 04:15:57,400
over. So it

6096
04:15:57,400 --> 04:16:01,400
was very important for leadership at our

6097
04:16:01,400 --> 04:16:02,400
public safety level, as well as other

6098
04:16:02,400 --> 04:16:04,400
executive

6099
04:16:05,400 --> 04:16:08,400
positions to fully understand that.

6100
04:16:08,400 --> 04:16:10,400
and so with that, I will turn it over to

6101
04:16:10,400 --> 04:16:11,400
the city attorney. He will go through

6102
04:16:11,400 --> 04:16:13,400
the key provisions

6103
04:16:14,400 --> 04:16:15,400
of the agreement. I am here

6104
04:16:15,400 --> 04:16:16,400
to support with questions. And we

6105
04:16:16,400 --> 04:16:21,800
have other staff here that can support as well.

6106
04:16:23,400 --> 04:16:25,400
>> thank

6107
04:16:26,400 --> 04:16:27,400
you.

6108
04:16:27,400 --> 04:16:29,400
>>

6109
04:16:29,400 --> 04:16:32,400
thank you, city manager, madam

6110
04:16:32,400 --> 04:16:34,400
mayor, councilmembers.

6111
04:16:35,400 --> 04:16:36,400
general counsel presenting

6112
04:16:36,400 --> 04:16:38,400
to you again tonight the key terms

6113
04:16:38,400 --> 04:16:40,400
in the league event agreement.

6114
04:16:40,400 --> 04:16:41,400
I'm intending to give you and the

6115
04:16:41,400 --> 04:16:43,400
interested public

6116
04:16:44,400 --> 04:16:47,400
a good run-through of the terms.

6117
04:16:47,400 --> 04:16:49,800
in detail, but not

6118
04:16:50,400 --> 04:16:51,400
the same, some might say, excruciating

6119
04:16:51,400 --> 04:16:52,400
detail of

6120
04:16:52,400 --> 04:16:56,400
the last time I presented these. We'll see how I do with that.

6121
04:16:56,400 --> 04:16:58,800
there are a few

6122
04:16:59,400 --> 04:17:01,800
changes, refinements, to these

6123
04:17:02,400 --> 04:17:03,400
terms that I

6124
04:17:03,400 --> 04:17:05,400
will highlight, and they're set forth --

6125
04:17:05,400 --> 04:17:07,400
they're described in the

6126
04:17:07,400 --> 04:17:09,400
rtc, and you also got attached to

6127
04:17:09,400 --> 04:17:11,400
your packet an actually underlined

6128
04:17:11,400 --> 04:17:13,400
strikeout of the

6129
04:17:13,400 --> 04:17:14,400
agreement that shows specifically the

6130
04:17:14,400 --> 04:17:15,400
wording changes

6131
04:17:15,400 --> 04:17:19,400
to the draft compared to the version that you got.

6132
04:17:19,400 --> 04:17:20,400
and as you'll see, it's substantially similar to

6133
04:17:20,400 --> 04:17:21,400
the version

6134
04:17:21,400 --> 04:17:25,600
you saw with some changes we'll highlight.

6135
04:17:29,400 --> 04:17:31,400
this slide really boils down

6136
04:17:31,400 --> 04:17:32,400
the essential terms, a summary of

6137
04:17:32,400 --> 04:17:34,800
terms of this agreement.

6138
04:17:35,400 --> 04:17:37,400
the first

6139
04:17:38,400 --> 04:17:39,400
point I think is important. This agreement

6140
04:17:39,400 --> 04:17:40,400
implements

6141
04:17:40,400 --> 04:17:41,400
article 21 of the stadium lease. Unlike

6142
04:17:41,400 --> 04:17:43,400
fifa, which

6143
04:17:44,400 --> 04:17:46,400
really had this unbridled kind of

6144
04:17:46,400 --> 04:17:47,400
arrangement that was new and novel

6145
04:17:47,400 --> 04:17:49,400
to us,

6146
04:17:49,400 --> 04:17:50,400
the stadium lease actually contemplates

6147
04:17:50,400 --> 04:17:52,400
this

6148
04:17:53,400 --> 04:17:55,400
kind

6149
04:17:56,400 --> 04:17:58,400
of agreement. It don't

6150
04:17:58,400 --> 04:17:59,400
it contemplates the stadium hosting super

6151
04:17:59,400 --> 04:18:01,400
bowls.

6152
04:18:01,400 --> 04:18:02,400
it contemplates this being done through

6153
04:18:02,400 --> 04:18:04,400
this negotiated

6154
04:18:05,400 --> 04:18:07,400
league event agreement concept.

6155
04:18:07,400 --> 04:18:08,400
it contemplatescontemplates party

6156
04:18:08,400 --> 04:18:10,400
like the

6157
04:18:10,400 --> 04:18:11,400
bay area host committee taking on some of

6158
04:18:11,400 --> 04:18:13,400
the responsibilities

6159
04:18:13,400 --> 04:18:14,400
and implementation of the event. Including

6160
04:18:14,400 --> 04:18:16,400
potential revisions to

6161
04:18:17,400 --> 04:18:19,400
what the stadium lease

6162
04:18:19,400 --> 04:18:20,400
provisions say generally with respect to

6163
04:18:20,400 --> 04:18:22,400
nfl events and

6164
04:18:22,400 --> 04:18:23,400
the super bowl is an nfl event are

6165
04:18:23,400 --> 04:18:25,400
and this was

6166
04:18:26,400 --> 04:18:29,400
done, as some of you will

6167
04:18:29,400 --> 04:18:31,800
remember, back in 2015 with

6168
04:18:32,400 --> 04:18:35,400
respect to super bowl 50 in

6169
04:18:35,400 --> 04:18:36,400
a slightly different form.

6170
04:18:36,400 --> 04:18:37,400
not as detailed or comprehensive as this

6171
04:18:37,400 --> 04:18:39,800
agreement. So implements article 21.

6172
04:18:41,400 --> 04:18:43,400
it also, and this is

6173
04:18:43,400 --> 04:18:44,400
important, affirms the city of santa

6174
04:18:44,400 --> 04:18:46,800
clara will be the

6175
04:18:47,400 --> 04:18:48,400
lead local agency providing security at

6176
04:18:48,400 --> 04:18:50,400
and

6177
04:18:50,400 --> 04:18:51,400
around the stadium for super bowl

6178
04:18:51,400 --> 04:18:53,400
lx and the

6179
04:18:53,400 --> 04:18:55,400
related events. This absolutely is a

6180
04:18:55,400 --> 04:18:56,400
burden. It's a challenging thing to

6181
04:18:56,400 --> 04:18:58,400
do.

6182
04:18:59,400 --> 04:19:02,400
it's a heavy lift for public

6183
04:19:02,400 --> 04:19:04,400
safety, for

6184
04:19:04,400 --> 04:19:05,400
transportation, for other departments

6185
04:19:05,400 --> 04:19:07,400
and

6186
04:19:08,400 --> 04:19:10,800
logistics. My office. My

6187
04:19:11,400 --> 04:19:13,400
it is

6188
04:19:13,400 --> 04:19:14,400
absolutely something that your public

6189
04:19:14,400 --> 04:19:16,400
safety officers

6190
04:19:17,400 --> 04:19:18,400
and salary pd wants to do, and they're

6191
04:19:18,400 --> 04:19:20,400
really

6192
04:19:20,400 --> 04:19:21,400
good at it. It is an elite group.

6193
04:19:21,400 --> 04:19:23,400
they

6194
04:19:23,400 --> 04:19:25,400
take pride in this.

6195
04:19:25,400 --> 04:19:26,400
they take pride in protecting the

6196
04:19:26,400 --> 04:19:28,400
community and protecting the

6197
04:19:28,400 --> 04:19:29,400
people that attend these events. And

6198
04:19:29,400 --> 04:19:31,800
just recently, I was

6199
04:19:32,400 --> 04:19:35,400
told, as part of the nfl

6200
04:19:35,400 --> 04:19:36,400
commissioner's visit to the first

6201
04:19:36,400 --> 04:19:37,400
home

6202
04:19:37,400 --> 04:19:38,400
game of our season, he came and spoke

6203
04:19:38,400 --> 04:19:40,400
to hem

6204
04:19:41,400 --> 04:19:44,400
and acknowledged this venue as

6205
04:19:44,400 --> 04:19:45,400
being one of the safe, you know, venues

6206
04:19:45,400 --> 04:19:46,400
and complimented them on

6207
04:19:46,400 --> 04:19:47,400
the quality of the service that they

6208
04:19:47,400 --> 04:19:49,400
do. So

6209
04:19:50,400 --> 04:19:52,800
we are out front

6210
04:19:53,400 --> 04:19:54,400
again. Burdensome but it's where your

6211
04:19:54,400 --> 04:19:55,400
public

6212
04:19:55,400 --> 04:19:56,400
safety folks and others want to be

6213
04:19:56,400 --> 04:19:57,400
with this. It also

6214
04:19:57,400 --> 04:19:59,400
importantly provides safe guards for

6215
04:19:59,400 --> 04:20:01,400
the city and stadium authority to

6216
04:20:01,400 --> 04:20:02,400
mitigate the potential risks and liabilities

6217
04:20:02,400 --> 04:20:05,400
of this event are this is a big

6218
04:20:05,400 --> 04:20:07,400
and costly event. And so

6219
04:20:07,400 --> 04:20:08,400
part of the ways to get at that is

6220
04:20:08,400 --> 04:20:10,400
a detailed

6221
04:20:11,400 --> 04:20:13,400
description and

6222
04:20:13,400 --> 04:20:14,400
reimbursement process for city super

6223
04:20:14,400 --> 04:20:16,400
bowl services costs.

6224
04:20:16,400 --> 04:20:17,400
a clear and efficient dispute resolution

6225
04:20:17,400 --> 04:20:19,400
framework to handle

6226
04:20:19,400 --> 04:20:20,400
any disagreements there might be.

6227
04:20:20,400 --> 04:20:23,400
with respect to those expenses.

6228
04:20:26,400 --> 04:20:27,400
an advance payment of 50% of the projected

6229
04:20:27,400 --> 04:20:29,400
actual event

6230
04:20:29,400 --> 04:20:30,400
expenses. This was a very good provision

6231
04:20:30,400 --> 04:20:31,400
from

6232
04:20:31,400 --> 04:20:32,400
the super bowl 50 agreement. We've

6233
04:20:32,400 --> 04:20:34,400
carried that

6234
04:20:35,400 --> 04:20:37,400
forward again here.

6235
04:20:38,400 --> 04:20:40,400
significantly in advance

6236
04:20:41,400 --> 04:20:43,400
of when the event will

6237
04:20:43,400 --> 04:20:44,400
actually occur. And most importantly

6238
04:20:44,400 --> 04:20:47,400
probably for all of our

6239
04:20:47,400 --> 04:20:48,400
interests, a financial backstop, still

6240
04:20:48,400 --> 04:20:50,400
from

6241
04:20:50,400 --> 04:20:52,400
stadco, for any

6242
04:20:52,400 --> 04:20:53,400
qualified event expense shortfall.

6243
04:20:53,400 --> 04:20:55,400
we'll talk about that a little bit

6244
04:20:55,400 --> 04:20:56,400
more. There's opportunities for city

6245
04:20:56,400 --> 04:20:58,400
benefits and revenues.

6246
04:20:59,400 --> 04:21:01,800
that weren't the focus

6247
04:21:03,400 --> 04:21:05,400
of this agreement but

6248
04:21:05,400 --> 04:21:06,400
are meaningful in that host committee

6249
04:21:06,400 --> 04:21:07,400
is agreeing

6250
04:21:07,400 --> 04:21:09,400
to cooperate with us and a number of

6251
04:21:09,400 --> 04:21:10,400
the

6252
04:21:10,400 --> 04:21:12,400
different enterprises that city manager

6253
04:21:12,400 --> 04:21:14,400
has described

6254
04:21:15,400 --> 04:21:16,400
and will describe and

6255
04:21:16,400 --> 04:21:18,400
some other payments that we'll describe later on in the

6256
04:21:18,400 --> 04:21:20,400
agreement.

6257
04:21:26,400 --> 04:21:29,400
this slide presents the definitions

6258
04:21:30,400 --> 04:21:31,400
for what constitutes super bowl

6259
04:21:31,400 --> 04:21:32,400
activities and the super bowl services

6260
04:21:32,400 --> 04:21:36,400
that will be provided to support them.

6261
04:21:36,400 --> 04:21:37,400
it's

6262
04:21:37,400 --> 04:21:39,400
important, I think, a lot of time

6263
04:21:39,400 --> 04:21:41,400
was spent to

6264
04:21:41,400 --> 04:21:42,400
this to avoid misunderstandings about

6265
04:21:42,400 --> 04:21:43,400
what

6266
04:21:43,400 --> 04:21:45,400
we're providing services for and what

6267
04:21:45,400 --> 04:21:47,400
those services are. There

6268
04:21:47,400 --> 04:21:48,400
are a lot of details, both in the

6269
04:21:48,400 --> 04:21:50,400
sections the agreement and

6270
04:21:50,400 --> 04:21:51,400
the attached exhibit "a" that really go

6271
04:21:51,400 --> 04:21:52,400
into that.

6272
04:21:52,400 --> 04:21:54,400
and a very similar structure to what

6273
04:21:54,400 --> 04:21:55,400
you all approved with respect to

6274
04:21:55,400 --> 04:21:59,000
the fifa assignment and assumption agreement.

6275
04:22:03,400 --> 04:22:05,400
to even further

6276
04:22:06,400 --> 04:22:07,400
elaborate onon what those services will

6277
04:22:07,400 --> 04:22:09,400
be and to make sure that the city

6278
04:22:09,400 --> 04:22:10,400
is in control

6279
04:22:10,400 --> 04:22:11,400
of describing what those services

6280
04:22:11,400 --> 04:22:12,400
are going to be and how they're going

6281
04:22:12,400 --> 04:22:14,400
to be

6282
04:22:15,400 --> 04:22:17,400
deployed, the city

6283
04:22:17,400 --> 04:22:18,400
again will prepare a master plan of

6284
04:22:18,400 --> 04:22:21,400
what the super bowl services

6285
04:22:21,400 --> 04:22:22,400
are going to be in consultation with

6286
04:22:22,400 --> 04:22:24,400
the various stakeholders and specific

6287
04:22:24,400 --> 04:22:26,400
subplans to

6288
04:22:26,400 --> 04:22:29,400
that. Particularly a public safety

6289
04:22:30,400 --> 04:22:32,400
plan that will include

6290
04:22:32,400 --> 04:22:33,400
input from all various law enforcement

6291
04:22:33,400 --> 04:22:34,400
agencies that will

6292
04:22:34,400 --> 04:22:36,400
be coordinating. The nfl, who will

6293
04:22:36,400 --> 04:22:38,400
have an important role in

6294
04:22:38,400 --> 04:22:39,400
this and have their own security interests.

6295
04:22:39,400 --> 04:22:41,400
the important thing

6296
04:22:42,400 --> 04:22:43,400
being, the city obtains ultimate approval

6297
04:22:43,400 --> 04:22:47,000
authority over what that plan is.

6298
04:22:54,400 --> 04:22:56,400
next slide.

6299
04:23:00,400 --> 04:23:02,400
outlines the

6300
04:23:02,400 --> 04:23:03,400
terms that also should look familiar

6301
04:23:03,400 --> 04:23:05,400
to you,

6302
04:23:06,400 --> 04:23:09,400
both from the august 26th

6303
04:23:09,400 --> 04:23:12,400
presentation and from the fifa

6304
04:23:12,400 --> 04:23:14,800
agreement. It really is

6305
04:23:15,400 --> 04:23:17,400
at the core

6306
04:23:17,400 --> 04:23:18,400
of bearing a host committee's obligation

6307
04:23:18,400 --> 04:23:20,400
to reimburse a city

6308
04:23:20,400 --> 04:23:21,400
for all of its qualified event expenses.

6309
04:23:21,400 --> 04:23:23,400
qualified

6310
04:23:23,400 --> 04:23:24,400
event expenses include actual and

6311
04:23:24,400 --> 04:23:26,400
reasonable costs for event planning

6312
04:23:26,400 --> 04:23:27,400
and training expenses. Those are the

6313
04:23:27,400 --> 04:23:29,400
costs that

6314
04:23:30,400 --> 04:23:32,800
we're incurring now. Actual

6315
04:23:33,400 --> 04:23:35,800
event expenses starting february

6316
04:23:36,400 --> 04:23:39,400
5th and through the end of the super

6317
04:23:39,400 --> 04:23:41,400
bowl event. Our actual event expenses will

6318
04:23:41,400 --> 04:23:42,400
be incurred. Required event equipment.

6319
04:23:42,400 --> 04:23:44,400
we'll talk about that

6320
04:23:44,400 --> 04:23:45,400
later. Miscellaneous or unexpected

6321
04:23:45,400 --> 04:23:47,400
expenses, because

6322
04:23:47,400 --> 04:23:48,400
as good a job as we're doing in describing

6323
04:23:48,400 --> 04:23:49,400
the

6324
04:23:49,400 --> 04:23:51,400
various things that we're expecting

6325
04:23:51,400 --> 04:23:53,400
to do and to incur

6326
04:23:53,400 --> 04:23:54,400
costs for and to expect reimbursement

6327
04:23:54,400 --> 04:23:55,400
for, other things may

6328
04:23:55,400 --> 04:23:59,600
come up. And that's contemplated as well.

6329
04:24:03,400 --> 04:24:05,400
working with host committee, the

6330
04:24:05,400 --> 04:24:06,400
city is responsible for preparing

6331
04:24:06,400 --> 04:24:08,400
a cost estimate for

6332
04:24:08,400 --> 04:24:09,400
all of what we're expecting this to

6333
04:24:09,400 --> 04:24:11,400
cost.

6334
04:24:11,400 --> 04:24:12,400
the current estimate for super bowl

6335
04:24:12,400 --> 04:24:14,400
support services

6336
04:24:15,400 --> 04:24:17,400
is

6337
04:24:17,400 --> 04:24:18,400
$6,428,064. A very specific number.

6338
04:24:18,400 --> 04:24:20,400
I think

6339
04:24:20,400 --> 04:24:21,400
it illustrates the care that went

6340
04:24:21,400 --> 04:24:22,400
into

6341
04:24:22,400 --> 04:24:24,400
evaluating what these costs are going

6342
04:24:24,400 --> 04:24:26,400
to be.

6343
04:24:27,400 --> 04:24:28,400
again, input from the folks

6344
04:24:28,400 --> 04:24:30,400
that are providing those services

6345
04:24:30,400 --> 04:24:31,400
on our side of the equation. You'll notice

6346
04:24:31,400 --> 04:24:32,400
this

6347
04:24:32,400 --> 04:24:33,400
went up a little bit from the previous

6348
04:24:33,400 --> 04:24:35,400
number.

6349
04:24:36,400 --> 04:24:38,400
I think about

6350
04:24:39,400 --> 04:24:40,400
$125,000, chuck, which I think was primarily

6351
04:24:40,400 --> 04:24:42,400
equipment expense costs, increase.

6352
04:24:42,400 --> 04:24:44,400
that's now

6353
04:24:44,400 --> 04:24:45,400
been identified and included in now

6354
04:24:45,400 --> 04:24:48,400
a more detailed exhibit b.

6355
04:24:48,400 --> 04:24:50,400
again, also attached to the

6356
04:24:50,400 --> 04:24:51,400
draft that was circulated with you.

6357
04:24:51,400 --> 04:24:52,400
we're going to update

6358
04:24:52,400 --> 04:24:54,400
this cost estimate throughout the

6359
04:24:54,400 --> 04:24:55,400
process, because we're going to potentially

6360
04:24:55,400 --> 04:24:57,400
get other information. Costs may go

6361
04:24:57,400 --> 04:24:59,400
up, costs may go down.

6362
04:24:59,400 --> 04:25:00,400
depending upon what we found out,

6363
04:25:00,400 --> 04:25:03,400
what we find out along the way.

6364
04:25:03,400 --> 04:25:05,800
put in the end,

6365
04:25:06,400 --> 04:25:08,400
the real important thing is that

6366
04:25:08,400 --> 04:25:09,400
bay area host committee's reimbursement

6367
04:25:09,400 --> 04:25:11,400
obligation

6368
04:25:11,400 --> 04:25:12,400
applies even if the qualified event expenses

6369
04:25:12,400 --> 04:25:14,400
that

6370
04:25:15,400 --> 04:25:16,400
their invoices exceed the final updated

6371
04:25:16,400 --> 04:25:18,400
cost estimate.

6372
04:25:18,400 --> 04:25:20,400
doesn't matter if

6373
04:25:21,400 --> 04:25:23,400
our estimate is off. It matters if

6374
04:25:23,400 --> 04:25:24,400
we're incurring these costs and the

6375
04:25:24,400 --> 04:25:26,800
kinds of costs that

6376
04:25:27,400 --> 04:25:29,800
are contemplated, they are

6377
04:25:30,400 --> 04:25:33,400
only obligated to reimburse them.

6378
04:25:33,400 --> 04:25:34,400
invoicing and reimbursement of the

6379
04:25:34,400 --> 04:25:36,400
pre-

6380
04:25:36,400 --> 04:25:37,400
event expenses. This is the mode we're in now.

6381
04:25:37,400 --> 04:25:39,400
these costs

6382
04:25:39,400 --> 04:25:42,400
are currently being invoiced and reimbursed

6383
04:25:42,400 --> 04:25:45,400
under an existing interim funding

6384
04:25:45,400 --> 04:25:46,400
agreement that covers these costs.

6385
04:25:46,400 --> 04:25:48,400
planning

6386
04:25:48,400 --> 04:25:50,800
costs, training costs. We're

6387
04:25:51,400 --> 04:25:52,400
deep into it. We've got the current

6388
04:25:52,400 --> 04:25:53,400
version

6389
04:25:53,400 --> 04:25:54,400
of that agreement I think still has

6390
04:25:54,400 --> 04:25:56,400
a

6391
04:25:57,400 --> 04:25:59,400
$250,000 maximum

6392
04:26:00,400 --> 04:26:01,400
reimbursement obligation with the

6393
04:26:01,400 --> 04:26:02,400
commitment to

6394
04:26:02,400 --> 04:26:03,400
meet and confer if in fact we get

6395
04:26:03,400 --> 04:26:05,400
close to that

6396
04:26:05,400 --> 04:26:06,400
number, to increase that number. I think

6397
04:26:06,400 --> 04:26:08,400
we're getting close to

6398
04:26:08,400 --> 04:26:09,400
that number, and we probably need

6399
04:26:09,400 --> 04:26:11,400
to meet and confer on that.

6400
04:26:11,400 --> 04:26:12,400
the time period for this extends through

6401
04:26:12,400 --> 04:26:14,400
october 31st.

6402
04:26:15,400 --> 04:26:16,400
if, in fact, we approve, you approve

6403
04:26:16,400 --> 04:26:17,400
and

6404
04:26:17,400 --> 04:26:18,400
we're able to finalize this agreement prior

6405
04:26:18,400 --> 04:26:20,400
to that date

6406
04:26:20,400 --> 04:26:21,400
this agreement will take that over.

6407
04:26:21,400 --> 04:26:23,400
the interim funding

6408
04:26:24,400 --> 04:26:26,400
agreemen would go away and this

6409
04:26:26,400 --> 04:26:27,400
agreement takes place of that agreement

6410
04:26:27,400 --> 04:26:29,400
for

6411
04:26:29,400 --> 04:26:30,400
purposes of us invoicing and obtaining

6412
04:26:30,400 --> 04:26:32,400
reimbursement.

6413
04:26:33,400 --> 04:26:34,400
again, all very similar to the

6414
04:26:34,400 --> 04:26:36,400
arrangement and the fifa agreement that you've already

6415
04:26:36,400 --> 04:26:38,400
approved.

6416
04:26:39,400 --> 04:26:41,400
monthly billing. An

6417
04:26:41,400 --> 04:26:42,400
opportunity for bay area host committee

6418
04:26:42,400 --> 04:26:44,400
to reasonably

6419
04:26:45,400 --> 04:26:47,400
dispute or request additional

6420
04:26:47,400 --> 04:26:48,400
information. They're obligated then to

6421
04:26:48,400 --> 04:26:50,400
pay undisputed

6422
04:26:50,400 --> 04:26:51,400
items, and if there's items that are

6423
04:26:51,400 --> 04:26:53,400
disputed, they

6424
04:26:54,400 --> 04:26:57,400
have to set those amounts

6425
04:26:57,400 --> 04:27:00,400
aside. If disputed amounts exceed

6426
04:27:00,400 --> 04:27:01,400
$50,000, they have to deposit the

6427
04:27:01,400 --> 04:27:02,400
amount that

6428
04:27:02,400 --> 04:27:04,400
they're disputing into an escrow.

6429
04:27:04,400 --> 04:27:06,800
and if, in fact,

6430
04:27:07,400 --> 04:27:09,400
that amount exceeds $200,000,

6431
04:27:09,400 --> 04:27:10,400
either party can call for arbitration

6432
04:27:10,400 --> 04:27:11,400
to

6433
04:27:11,400 --> 04:27:16,400
resolve the dispute and get those monies paid right away.

6434
04:27:16,400 --> 04:27:17,400
there's a pretty

6435
04:27:17,400 --> 04:27:19,400
good flow that's been developed already as

6436
04:27:19,400 --> 04:27:21,800
a result of a

6437
04:27:22,400 --> 04:27:24,400
lot of invoicing with that

6438
04:27:24,400 --> 04:27:25,400
and with how close we are to this

6439
04:27:25,400 --> 04:27:26,400
actual

6440
04:27:26,400 --> 04:27:28,400
event. I'm not expecting we're going

6441
04:27:28,400 --> 04:27:30,400
to

6442
04:27:30,400 --> 04:27:31,400
be in this dispute resolution mode

6443
04:27:31,400 --> 04:27:32,400
with

6444
04:27:32,400 --> 04:27:34,400
these expenses, but if we do end up

6445
04:27:34,400 --> 04:27:36,400
there, there's

6446
04:27:36,400 --> 04:27:37,400
a mechanism to resolve that and an

6447
04:27:37,400 --> 04:27:38,400
expedited

6448
04:27:38,400 --> 04:27:43,400
one with each party kind of sharing their own costs.

6449
04:27:43,400 --> 04:27:44,400
planning

6450
04:27:44,400 --> 04:27:46,400
and training expenses are important

6451
04:27:46,400 --> 04:27:48,400
and is a

6452
04:27:48,400 --> 04:27:49,400
significant expense. I think all told,

6453
04:27:49,400 --> 04:27:51,400
it's

6454
04:27:51,400 --> 04:27:52,400
approximately $1 million, right, chuck, of

6455
04:27:52,400 --> 04:27:54,400
the

6456
04:27:54,400 --> 04:27:55,400
smited expenses for this. But really,

6457
04:27:55,400 --> 04:27:57,400
the lion's

6458
04:27:57,400 --> 04:27:58,400
share of those expenses are these

6459
04:27:58,400 --> 04:28:00,400
actual event

6460
04:28:01,400 --> 04:28:02,400
cost expenses.

6461
04:28:02,400 --> 04:28:07,200
the deployment in and around the event itself.

6462
04:28:07,400 --> 04:28:09,400
and again, these

6463
04:28:09,400 --> 04:28:10,400
provisions will look familiar because

6464
04:28:10,400 --> 04:28:13,400
they're very similar to the ones that

6465
04:28:13,400 --> 04:28:15,800
were used for fifa.

6466
04:28:18,400 --> 04:28:19,400
because we know bay area host committee

6467
04:28:19,400 --> 04:28:20,400
is a

6468
04:28:20,400 --> 04:28:22,400
nonprofit agency and they're chasing

6469
04:28:22,400 --> 04:28:23,400
a lot of money from a

6470
04:28:23,400 --> 04:28:24,400
lot of different places to fund a

6471
04:28:24,400 --> 04:28:27,400
lot of their different obligations

6472
04:28:28,400 --> 04:28:29,400
to support this event, we've included an

6473
04:28:29,400 --> 04:28:31,400
important provision in there which

6474
04:28:31,400 --> 04:28:33,400
imposes on them

6475
04:28:34,400 --> 04:28:37,400
an obligation to make an advance

6476
04:28:37,400 --> 04:28:40,400
payment to the city by, on, or

6477
04:28:40,400 --> 04:28:42,400
before december 25th, 2025, of

6478
04:28:42,400 --> 04:28:43,400
50% of the, at that time, current

6479
04:28:43,400 --> 04:28:45,400
cost estimate for

6480
04:28:45,400 --> 04:28:48,400
what the actual event expenses would

6481
04:28:48,400 --> 04:28:51,400
be. This is approximately $2. 5 million.

6482
04:28:51,400 --> 04:28:56,200
and that obligation, again, is triggered on christmas.

6483
04:28:58,400 --> 04:29:00,400
bay area host committee reserves

6484
04:29:00,400 --> 04:29:01,400
the right to require additional information,

6485
04:29:01,400 --> 04:29:03,400
similar to

6486
04:29:03,400 --> 04:29:04,400
the other provisions. But there's

6487
04:29:04,400 --> 04:29:06,400
a

6488
04:29:06,400 --> 04:29:07,400
right to dispute. There's time periods

6489
04:29:07,400 --> 04:29:09,400
for

6490
04:29:09,400 --> 04:29:10,400
which they have to pay. But in the

6491
04:29:10,400 --> 04:29:12,400
end, binding

6492
04:29:13,400 --> 04:29:15,400
arbitration applies to

6493
04:29:15,400 --> 04:29:16,400
resolve any disputes in the same way

6494
04:29:16,400 --> 04:29:17,400
that there's a

6495
04:29:17,400 --> 04:29:19,400
version of arbitration along the way

6496
04:29:19,400 --> 04:29:21,400
if a dispute

6497
04:29:21,400 --> 04:29:22,400
arises. There is some new language.

6498
04:29:22,400 --> 04:29:24,400
I think

6499
04:29:25,400 --> 04:29:28,400
we identified this issue last

6500
04:29:28,400 --> 04:29:30,400
time. That hadn't

6501
04:29:31,400 --> 04:29:34,400
been wrestled to the ground yet.

6502
04:29:34,400 --> 04:29:37,400
clarifying off-site parking fees received

6503
04:29:37,400 --> 04:29:39,400
by the city will offset bay area host

6504
04:29:39,400 --> 04:29:40,400
committee's reimbursement obligations for

6505
04:29:40,400 --> 04:29:42,400
super bowl events.

6506
04:29:43,400 --> 04:29:45,400
this is how it works for other

6507
04:29:45,400 --> 04:29:49,000
nfl events under the existing stadium

6508
04:29:49,400 --> 04:29:51,400
lease. And so that

6509
04:29:51,400 --> 04:29:52,400
will, in effect, be reimbursing us

6510
04:29:52,400 --> 04:29:54,400
for

6511
04:29:54,400 --> 04:29:55,400
those costs that otherwise they would have

6512
04:29:55,400 --> 04:29:57,400
to

6513
04:29:58,400 --> 04:30:00,400
reimburse us for. But

6514
04:30:00,400 --> 04:30:01,400
importantly, unlike under the existing

6515
04:30:01,400 --> 04:30:03,400
stadium lease, those

6516
04:30:04,400 --> 04:30:07,400
offsets will not trigger any credits

6517
04:30:07,400 --> 04:30:09,400
against stadco's general

6518
04:30:10,400 --> 04:30:11,400
alks to reimburse us for costs and pay rent

6519
04:30:11,400 --> 04:30:12,400
under

6520
04:30:12,400 --> 04:30:13,400
the stadium lease. You may remember

6521
04:30:13,400 --> 04:30:15,400
from the settlement

6522
04:30:15,400 --> 04:30:16,400
we reached with them, not only are

6523
04:30:16,400 --> 04:30:18,400
those costs offset,

6524
04:30:19,400 --> 04:30:22,400
but they're potentially offset against

6525
04:30:22,400 --> 04:30:24,400
the city's performance rent

6526
04:30:24,400 --> 04:30:25,400
payments. That will not happen there.

6527
04:30:25,400 --> 04:30:27,400
this event has

6528
04:30:27,400 --> 04:30:28,400
been pulled that structure and has

6529
04:30:28,400 --> 04:30:29,400
its own

6530
04:30:29,400 --> 04:30:34,200
integrity as compared to its standard nfl event.

6531
04:30:34,400 --> 04:30:36,400
there's

6532
04:30:36,400 --> 04:30:37,400
special rules for equipment and miscellaneous

6533
04:30:37,400 --> 04:30:39,400
expenses. As you

6534
04:30:39,400 --> 04:30:40,400
recall, this is also similar to the

6535
04:30:40,400 --> 04:30:42,400
arrangement

6536
04:30:42,400 --> 04:30:43,400
under the terms of the fifa agreement.

6537
04:30:43,400 --> 04:30:46,400
I went through this in

6538
04:30:46,400 --> 04:30:48,400
some detail. We talked about

6539
04:30:48,400 --> 04:30:49,400
it in some detail. I won't torture

6540
04:30:49,400 --> 04:30:51,400
you with that

6541
04:30:51,400 --> 04:30:52,400
again. The sains of this is the bay

6542
04:30:52,400 --> 04:30:54,400
area host committee is

6543
04:30:54,400 --> 04:30:55,400
responsible for the cost of what we

6544
04:30:55,400 --> 04:30:57,400
identify as

6545
04:30:58,400 --> 04:30:59,400
required event equipment. The rules

6546
04:30:59,400 --> 04:31:00,400
differ

6547
04:31:00,400 --> 04:31:01,400
depending upon whether we're buying

6548
04:31:01,400 --> 04:31:02,400
the equipment or leasing the equipment

6549
04:31:02,400 --> 04:31:04,400
or keeping the

6550
04:31:04,400 --> 04:31:06,400
equipment ourselves.

6551
04:31:07,400 --> 04:31:09,400
there is a coordination

6552
04:31:09,400 --> 04:31:10,400
provision because we're going to be

6553
04:31:10,400 --> 04:31:12,800
buying equipment both for

6554
04:31:13,400 --> 04:31:16,400
the super bowl and for fifa.

6555
04:31:16,400 --> 04:31:18,400
and so if we can --to

6556
04:31:18,400 --> 04:31:19,400
avoid redundancies, you know, and

6557
04:31:19,400 --> 04:31:21,400
coordinate those

6558
04:31:22,400 --> 04:31:23,400
efforts, that is something that we're

6559
04:31:23,400 --> 04:31:25,400
exploring and

6560
04:31:25,400 --> 04:31:28,400
working on as we develop these

6561
04:31:28,400 --> 04:31:31,400
lists. And then a revision

6562
04:31:31,400 --> 04:31:33,400
to this, there was an initial thought

6563
04:31:33,400 --> 04:31:34,400
that the detailed equipment list would be attached

6564
04:31:34,400 --> 04:31:36,400
to

6565
04:31:37,400 --> 04:31:38,400
this agreement. After internal discussions,

6566
04:31:38,400 --> 04:31:40,400
including

6567
04:31:40,400 --> 04:31:41,400
with pd, we'd just as soon not

6568
04:31:41,400 --> 04:31:43,400
have detailed information about the

6569
04:31:43,400 --> 04:31:44,400
kind of special equipment we're going to

6570
04:31:44,400 --> 04:31:45,400
be

6571
04:31:45,400 --> 04:31:46,400
requiring to support this event. Because

6572
04:31:46,400 --> 04:31:49,400
it may reveal things about

6573
04:31:49,400 --> 04:31:50,400
how we're going about providing security.

6574
04:31:50,400 --> 04:31:51,400
and

6575
04:31:51,400 --> 04:31:52,400
so while there still will be a list,

6576
04:31:52,400 --> 04:31:54,400
a detailed

6577
04:31:55,400 --> 04:31:58,400
one, agreed to by the parties outside

6578
04:31:58,400 --> 04:31:59,400
the terms of this agreement and kept

6579
04:31:59,400 --> 04:32:01,400
confidential in

6580
04:32:01,400 --> 04:32:03,400
order to

6581
04:32:04,400 --> 04:32:07,400
avoid any type of divulgence of sensitive security information.

6582
04:32:07,400 --> 04:32:09,400
there is

6583
04:32:09,400 --> 04:32:12,400
a summary of what the equipment costs will be, though.

6584
04:32:12,400 --> 04:32:16,600
and that is attached to the agreement.

6585
04:32:31,400 --> 04:32:33,400
it's essentially this.

6586
04:32:37,400 --> 04:32:38,400
if bay area host committee fails to

6587
04:32:38,400 --> 04:32:40,400
fulfill, to

6588
04:32:40,400 --> 04:32:41,400
pay its obligations, to fully reimburse

6589
04:32:41,400 --> 04:32:42,400
the city

6590
04:32:42,400 --> 04:32:43,400
for city's qualified event expenses,

6591
04:32:43,400 --> 04:32:45,400
stadco

6592
04:32:45,400 --> 04:32:49,000
is obligated to reimburse the city

6593
04:32:49,400 --> 04:32:52,400
for the qualified event shortfall.

6594
04:32:52,400 --> 04:32:53,400
we've got new language that makes

6595
04:32:53,400 --> 04:32:55,400
it I'm more

6596
04:32:55,400 --> 04:32:57,400
clear that stadco's obligation extends to

6597
04:32:57,400 --> 04:32:59,400
the bay area host committee's advance

6598
04:32:59,400 --> 04:33:01,400
payment obligation.

6599
04:33:02,400 --> 04:33:05,400
and similar to the terms of

6600
04:33:05,400 --> 04:33:08,400
the guarantee that we got from

6601
04:33:08,400 --> 04:33:10,800
teamco in the fifa

6602
04:33:11,400 --> 04:33:13,800
context, if stadco fails

6603
04:33:14,400 --> 04:33:15,400
to pay when their payment is due,

6604
04:33:15,400 --> 04:33:17,400
their obligation will accrue interest at

6605
04:33:17,400 --> 04:33:20,400
the rate of 6% per annum.

6606
04:33:20,400 --> 04:33:21,400
so we

6607
04:33:21,400 --> 04:33:23,400
think bay area host committee is obligated

6608
04:33:23,400 --> 04:33:25,400
to

6609
04:33:26,400 --> 04:33:27,400
pay. We know stadium --

6610
04:33:27,400 --> 04:33:32,400
stadco is motivated to pay. And there will be a

6611
04:33:32,400 --> 04:33:34,400
6%

6612
04:33:34,400 --> 04:33:35,400
per annum accrual on any amounts that they

6613
04:33:35,400 --> 04:33:38,400
don't pay when they're due.

6614
04:33:41,400 --> 04:33:43,400
the other important term for this

6615
04:33:43,400 --> 04:33:44,400
is as it relates back to the stadium

6616
04:33:44,400 --> 04:33:45,400
lease. As

6617
04:33:45,400 --> 04:33:47,400
you all know, one of the challenging

6618
04:33:47,400 --> 04:33:49,400
provisions of

6619
04:33:50,400 --> 04:33:52,400
that is if there are

6620
04:33:52,400 --> 04:33:53,400
qualified event expenses in that case

6621
04:33:53,400 --> 04:33:54,400
called public

6622
04:33:54,400 --> 04:33:56,400
safety costs, that exceed a threshold

6623
04:33:56,400 --> 04:33:58,800
amount that the stadium

6624
04:33:59,400 --> 04:34:00,400
authority is then obligated

6625
04:34:00,400 --> 04:34:04,000
to make payments to reimburse stadco

6626
04:34:05,400 --> 04:34:06,400
for the costs that they've

6627
04:34:06,400 --> 04:34:09,400
incurred above that threshold, and

6628
04:34:11,400 --> 04:34:12,400
it results in potentially

6629
04:34:12,400 --> 04:34:14,400
reducing the performance based rent

6630
04:34:14,400 --> 04:34:15,400
the city gets, none of that has

6631
04:34:15,400 --> 04:34:17,400
the effect of doing that here. There's

6632
04:34:17,400 --> 04:34:20,400
no threshold. The amounts must

6633
04:34:20,400 --> 04:34:22,400
be

6634
04:34:22,400 --> 04:34:24,400
reimbursed 100% with no negative impact

6635
04:34:24,400 --> 04:34:26,400
on stadium authority or ultimately

6636
04:34:26,400 --> 04:34:28,400
city revenues.

6637
04:34:29,400 --> 04:34:31,400
we

6638
04:34:32,400 --> 04:34:34,400
did circle back with stadco

6639
04:34:34,400 --> 04:34:37,400
regarding the consideration for converting

6640
04:34:37,400 --> 04:34:38,400
the stadco's direct obligation to

6641
04:34:38,400 --> 04:34:40,400
make

6642
04:34:41,400 --> 04:34:44,400
this payment to a teamco guarantee.

6643
04:34:44,400 --> 04:34:46,400
and they did not agree to this.

6644
04:34:46,400 --> 04:34:47,400
but your business and legal staff

6645
04:34:47,400 --> 04:34:49,400
really

6646
04:34:49,400 --> 04:34:50,400
remained satisfied with stadco as

6647
04:34:50,400 --> 04:34:51,400
a

6648
04:34:51,400 --> 04:34:55,000
direct obligor to make this payment.

6649
04:35:02,400 --> 04:35:04,400
stadco has been a

6650
04:35:04,400 --> 04:35:06,400
reliable obligor to the city since

6651
04:35:06,400 --> 04:35:08,400
the opening of the stadium, since

6652
04:35:08,400 --> 04:35:10,400
2014. Public safety

6653
04:35:11,400 --> 04:35:14,400
costs now averaging in the

6654
04:35:14,400 --> 04:35:16,400
$6 million plus range per year.

6655
04:35:16,400 --> 04:35:17,400
a facility rent payment in the amount

6656
04:35:17,400 --> 04:35:19,400
of

6657
04:35:19,400 --> 04:35:20,400
$25 million per year. Other obligations

6658
04:35:20,400 --> 04:35:22,400
that they

6659
04:35:23,400 --> 04:35:26,400
have to pay lenders and vendors and

6660
04:35:26,400 --> 04:35:28,800
their responsibility as the

6661
04:35:29,400 --> 04:35:32,400
tenant. And the landlord for

6662
04:35:32,400 --> 04:35:34,400
teamco. That they sublease the

6663
04:35:34,400 --> 04:35:35,400
property to. And significant assets that

6664
04:35:35,400 --> 04:35:37,400
they own. Not just

6665
04:35:37,400 --> 04:35:38,400
the lease itself, but actually the

6666
04:35:38,400 --> 04:35:40,400
significant amount of the

6667
04:35:40,400 --> 04:35:45,200
improvements within the stadium also are very valuable.

6668
04:35:46,400 --> 04:35:47,400
so the relationship, their ability

6669
04:35:47,400 --> 04:35:49,400
to make these

6670
04:35:49,400 --> 04:35:50,400
payments, our experience with them

6671
04:35:50,400 --> 04:35:52,400
as

6672
04:35:53,400 --> 04:35:55,400
a payor over time, ultimately

6673
04:35:55,400 --> 04:35:56,400
led us to conclude that it was an

6674
04:35:56,400 --> 04:35:58,800
appropriate and reasonable --

6675
04:35:59,400 --> 04:36:01,800
more than reasonable backstop

6676
04:36:02,400 --> 04:36:04,400
to fulfill this

6677
04:36:05,400 --> 04:36:08,400
obligation. I think the general counsel

6678
04:36:08,400 --> 04:36:10,800
and executive vice president

6679
04:36:11,400 --> 04:36:13,400
for 49ers, jihad beechman,

6680
04:36:13,400 --> 04:36:14,400
is available on the line. If there's

6681
04:36:14,400 --> 04:36:17,400
questions for him about that

6682
04:36:17,400 --> 04:36:18,400
for some specifics to maybe add some

6683
04:36:18,400 --> 04:36:19,400
additional color

6684
04:36:19,400 --> 04:36:20,400
to that. Convention center use. Terms

6685
04:36:20,400 --> 04:36:21,400
for convention

6686
04:36:21,400 --> 04:36:23,400
center use really haven't changed.

6687
04:36:23,400 --> 04:36:25,400
there's

6688
04:36:25,400 --> 04:36:26,400
a use term thatthat agreed that they

6689
04:36:26,400 --> 04:36:28,400
want in

6690
04:36:29,400 --> 04:36:32,400
order to be able to use the the

6691
04:36:32,400 --> 04:36:35,400
center. There's a facility rent payment.

6692
04:36:35,400 --> 04:36:37,400
there's some

6693
04:36:37,400 --> 04:36:38,400
credits against that, some of which

6694
04:36:38,400 --> 04:36:40,400
are guaranteed,

6695
04:36:41,400 --> 04:36:42,400
and others are

6696
04:36:42,400 --> 04:36:44,400
contingent upon performance. One nice

6697
04:36:44,400 --> 04:36:45,400
note I will make is that the time

6698
04:36:45,400 --> 04:36:47,400
we presented this you the last time,

6699
04:36:47,400 --> 04:36:49,400
the

6700
04:36:49,400 --> 04:36:50,400
$200,000 business development funds

6701
04:36:50,400 --> 04:36:52,400
credit from the

6702
04:36:53,400 --> 04:36:56,400
dmo was pending. The dmo met

6703
04:36:56,400 --> 04:36:58,400
on september

6704
04:36:59,400 --> 04:37:01,400
18th and unanimously approved

6705
04:37:01,400 --> 04:37:02,400
that business development funds credit.

6706
04:37:02,400 --> 04:37:04,400
so we now have

6707
04:37:04,400 --> 04:37:06,800
that $200,000 available. And there

6708
04:37:08,400 --> 04:37:11,400
is a performance rent based

6709
04:37:11,400 --> 04:37:12,400
upon the formula here that

6710
04:37:12,400 --> 04:37:14,400
I described before that will potentially reduce if

6711
04:37:14,400 --> 04:37:16,400
they

6712
04:37:20,400 --> 04:37:22,400
spend between food and beverage and

6713
04:37:22,400 --> 04:37:23,400
audio/visual/information technology

6714
04:37:23,400 --> 04:37:25,400
money, $900,000

6715
04:37:25,400 --> 04:37:29,400
or more, could reduce their rent down

6716
04:37:29,400 --> 04:37:30,400
to zero. And chuck baker is here to talk

6717
04:37:30,400 --> 04:37:32,400
about

6718
04:37:32,400 --> 04:37:35,400
that and how that aligns

6719
04:37:35,400 --> 04:37:37,400
with how the convention center

6720
04:37:37,400 --> 04:37:38,400
typically does business for events

6721
04:37:38,400 --> 04:37:40,400
like this.

6722
04:37:41,400 --> 04:37:44,400
there's a security deposit thatthat

6723
04:37:44,400 --> 04:37:45,400
must paid, $320,000 in two

6724
04:37:45,400 --> 04:37:47,400
installments. There's a chance sell

6725
04:37:47,400 --> 04:37:49,400
lation fee if they

6726
04:37:49,400 --> 04:37:50,400
cancel their booking, which is the

6727
04:37:50,400 --> 04:37:53,400
entire amount of the rent

6728
04:37:53,400 --> 04:37:56,400
of $650,000. There's some other details

6729
04:37:56,400 --> 04:37:57,400
and nuances to that, that if you have questions about, we can

6730
04:37:57,400 --> 04:37:59,400
answer.

6731
04:38:02,400 --> 04:38:03,400
access to city facilities and youth

6732
04:38:03,400 --> 04:38:04,400
sports park

6733
04:38:04,400 --> 04:38:05,400
really is largely taken out of this

6734
04:38:05,400 --> 04:38:07,400
agreement. The city

6735
04:38:08,400 --> 04:38:10,800
manager and others have

6736
04:38:11,400 --> 04:38:13,400
been discussingdiscussing use with

6737
04:38:13,400 --> 04:38:14,400
the nfl. The only thing this agreement

6738
04:38:14,400 --> 04:38:16,400
says is that

6739
04:38:17,400 --> 04:38:19,400
those things will be negotiated

6740
04:38:19,400 --> 04:38:20,400
separately at reasonable rates. I'm

6741
04:38:20,400 --> 04:38:22,400
oom sorry, on

6742
04:38:22,400 --> 04:38:23,400
reasonable terms to be negotiated.

6743
04:38:23,400 --> 04:38:25,400
and all of

6744
04:38:26,400 --> 04:38:28,400
that is ongoing now with a variety

6745
04:38:28,400 --> 04:38:29,400
of different city-owned properties

6746
04:38:29,400 --> 04:38:31,400
potentially dedicated.

6747
04:38:32,400 --> 04:38:34,400
and the city manager

6748
04:38:34,400 --> 04:38:35,400
can talk in further detail about that

6749
04:38:35,400 --> 04:38:37,400
if you have

6750
04:38:37,400 --> 04:38:38,400
additional questions. There is a senior

6751
04:38:38,400 --> 04:38:40,400
and youth program

6752
04:38:41,400 --> 04:38:44,400
fee. Not exactly the fee

6753
04:38:44,400 --> 04:38:46,400
that's contemplated in

6754
04:38:47,400 --> 04:38:48,400
the stadium lease. In fact, in the

6755
04:38:48,400 --> 04:38:50,400
stadium lease this

6756
04:38:50,400 --> 04:38:53,400
event is exempt from that fee.

6757
04:38:53,400 --> 04:38:54,400
but we thought it was important at

6758
04:38:54,400 --> 04:38:56,400
a minimum to

6759
04:38:56,400 --> 04:38:57,400
get them to pay the equivalent of

6760
04:38:57,400 --> 04:38:58,400
that. The

6761
04:38:58,400 --> 04:39:00,400
nfl is not expected to accept that

6762
04:39:00,400 --> 04:39:01,400
fee because it's a

6763
04:39:01,400 --> 04:39:03,400
pass-through on tickets and they don't

6764
04:39:03,400 --> 04:39:05,400
allow that. But stadco

6765
04:39:05,400 --> 04:39:08,400
has agreed to pay whatever that fee would

6766
04:39:08,400 --> 04:39:09,400
be had it been charged through, which

6767
04:39:09,400 --> 04:39:11,400
I think is

6768
04:39:12,400 --> 04:39:14,400
right now 40 cents a ticket.

6769
04:39:14,400 --> 04:39:15,400
assuming there's 65,000 sold tickets for

6770
04:39:15,400 --> 04:39:17,400
the

6771
04:39:17,400 --> 04:39:18,400
event, that would be approximately

6772
04:39:18,400 --> 04:39:20,400
$26,000. Not

6773
04:39:21,400 --> 04:39:22,400
a ton of money. But the

6774
04:39:22,400 --> 04:39:24,400
equivalent of what this game would generate

6775
04:39:24,400 --> 04:39:26,400
anyway.

6776
04:39:27,400 --> 04:39:30,400
and on a negotiated term, even

6777
04:39:30,400 --> 04:39:31,400
if the senior youth fees for

6778
04:39:31,400 --> 04:39:33,400
earlier in the year exceed the cap,

6779
04:39:33,400 --> 04:39:35,400
because you remember there's a cap

6780
04:39:35,400 --> 04:39:37,400
on what we can get --this amount wouldn't

6781
04:39:37,400 --> 04:39:39,400
be limited by the cap. We get this amount no matter

6782
04:39:39,400 --> 04:39:41,400
what.

6783
04:39:42,400 --> 04:39:43,400
super bowl

6784
04:39:43,400 --> 04:39:45,400
50 agreement had a provision like

6785
04:39:45,400 --> 04:39:46,400
this but we actually have

6786
04:39:46,400 --> 04:39:48,400
no record that that payment ever was made

6787
04:39:48,400 --> 04:39:50,400
back then. And so

6788
04:39:50,400 --> 04:39:51,400
we think we've improved on the specificity

6789
04:39:51,400 --> 04:39:52,400
of this

6790
04:39:52,400 --> 04:39:57,800
obligation and one that we can follow through on.

6791
04:39:58,400 --> 04:40:00,400
special event zone is something, again,

6792
04:40:00,400 --> 04:40:03,400
we already spent a fair

6793
04:40:03,400 --> 04:40:04,400
amount of time talking about.

6794
04:40:04,400 --> 04:40:08,000
similar to super bowl 50, this agreement

6795
04:40:09,400 --> 04:40:10,400
contemplates city staff

6796
04:40:10,400 --> 04:40:12,400
developing and presenting the city

6797
04:40:12,400 --> 04:40:14,400
council for city

6798
04:40:14,400 --> 04:40:15,400
council approval a special event zone.

6799
04:40:15,400 --> 04:40:16,400
in

6800
04:40:16,400 --> 04:40:18,400
effect, it's an ordinance designed

6801
04:40:18,400 --> 04:40:20,400
to protect the public

6802
04:40:20,400 --> 04:40:22,400
health, safety, and welfare, enhance

6803
04:40:22,400 --> 04:40:24,400
local aesthetics by temporarily regulating

6804
04:40:24,400 --> 04:40:26,400
or

6805
04:40:27,400 --> 04:40:29,400
restricting certain advertising and

6806
04:40:29,400 --> 04:40:30,400
commercial activities within the vicinity of

6807
04:40:30,400 --> 04:40:31,400
the

6808
04:40:31,400 --> 04:40:33,400
stadium leading up to and during super

6809
04:40:33,400 --> 04:40:35,400
bowl lx.

6810
04:40:35,400 --> 04:40:36,400
the ordinance is also intended to

6811
04:40:36,400 --> 04:40:38,400
address

6812
04:40:38,400 --> 04:40:39,400
nfl concerns and standards for such

6813
04:40:39,400 --> 04:40:41,400
activities.

6814
04:40:41,400 --> 04:40:45,400
the idea is there is so much going on

6815
04:40:45,400 --> 04:40:46,400
in and around the stadium.

6816
04:40:46,400 --> 04:40:48,400
having activities that can potentially

6817
04:40:48,400 --> 04:40:50,800
disrupt our ability to

6818
04:40:51,400 --> 04:40:53,400
provide appropriate security

6819
04:40:53,400 --> 04:40:56,400
can block the rights-of-way-that can

6820
04:40:57,400 --> 04:40:59,400
unfairly pop up and compete with ing

6821
04:40:59,400 --> 04:41:03,400
and sponsorships in a way that is

6822
04:41:03,400 --> 04:41:05,400
unregulated, is

6823
04:41:05,400 --> 04:41:07,400
something that is done really at every super

6824
04:41:07,400 --> 04:41:09,400
bowl, in different versions of this.

6825
04:41:09,400 --> 04:41:12,400
we did it back for super bowl

6826
04:41:12,400 --> 04:41:14,400
50. We're working on a draft

6827
04:41:14,400 --> 04:41:15,400
right now that we hope to get in front

6828
04:41:15,400 --> 04:41:17,400
of you

6829
04:41:17,400 --> 04:41:18,400
within the next couple months, and

6830
04:41:18,400 --> 04:41:22,600
you'll be seeing that coming forward soon.

6831
04:41:24,400 --> 04:41:26,400
up like super bowl 50,

6832
04:41:26,400 --> 04:41:27,400
we have specific provisions here that

6833
04:41:27,400 --> 04:41:28,400
obligates bay area host

6834
04:41:28,400 --> 04:41:30,400
committee to reimburse staff for all

6835
04:41:30,400 --> 04:41:31,400
related costs in the

6836
04:41:31,400 --> 04:41:33,400
preparation of that ordinance. They

6837
04:41:33,400 --> 04:41:35,400
also need to defend the city from any

6838
04:41:35,400 --> 04:41:36,400
legal challenges there might be to

6839
04:41:36,400 --> 04:41:37,400
that

6840
04:41:37,400 --> 04:41:39,400
ordinance. And you, because you have

6841
04:41:39,400 --> 04:41:41,400
to, will

6842
04:41:41,400 --> 04:41:42,400
retain the discretion to approve or

6843
04:41:42,400 --> 04:41:43,400
disapprove that

6844
04:41:43,400 --> 04:41:45,400
ordinance in your sole discretion.

6845
04:41:45,400 --> 04:41:48,400
has to be that way.

6846
04:41:48,400 --> 04:41:50,400
that is

6847
04:41:51,400 --> 04:41:54,400
good, but it also creates

6848
04:41:54,400 --> 04:41:56,800
a challenge. Because stadco

6849
04:41:57,400 --> 04:41:59,400
has described the nfl's need and

6850
04:41:59,400 --> 04:42:00,400
the expectation for having this special

6851
04:42:00,400 --> 04:42:02,400
event zone as

6852
04:42:02,400 --> 04:42:03,400
an absolute necessity. And so if you

6853
04:42:03,400 --> 04:42:05,400
remember,

6854
04:42:05,400 --> 04:42:06,400
we identified last time that --what

6855
04:42:06,400 --> 04:42:08,800
the consequence would be

6856
04:42:09,400 --> 04:42:10,400
if you didn't approve

6857
04:42:10,400 --> 04:42:12,400
this. We're still under discussion.

6858
04:42:12,400 --> 04:42:14,400
there's now new language

6859
04:42:14,400 --> 04:42:15,400
that provides that each party can

6860
04:42:15,400 --> 04:42:17,800
have a termination right

6861
04:42:18,400 --> 04:42:19,400
to the agreement in the event

6862
04:42:19,400 --> 04:42:21,400
that the special event zone isn't

6863
04:42:21,400 --> 04:42:24,400
approved or if the parties aren't

6864
04:42:24,400 --> 04:42:27,400
able to come up with some

6865
04:42:27,400 --> 04:42:29,400
alternative measures to implement

6866
04:42:29,400 --> 04:42:30,400
kind of equivalent regulations in

6867
04:42:30,400 --> 04:42:31,400
the area. We have a lot of regulations

6868
04:42:31,400 --> 04:42:33,400
on the books already that regulate

6869
04:42:33,400 --> 04:42:35,400
these things.

6870
04:42:36,400 --> 04:42:38,400
our peddlers ordinance, our sign ordinance are

6871
04:42:38,400 --> 04:42:39,400
significant ones. It might not require

6872
04:42:39,400 --> 04:42:41,400
too much

6873
04:42:41,400 --> 04:42:42,400
enhancement of our existing ordinances to

6874
04:42:42,400 --> 04:42:44,400
get there.

6875
04:42:45,400 --> 04:42:48,400
but this is now a potential

6876
04:42:48,400 --> 04:42:50,400
terminating event. If, in

6877
04:42:50,400 --> 04:42:51,400
fact, stadco proceeds to do that,

6878
04:42:51,400 --> 04:42:54,400
we would also have the

6879
04:42:54,400 --> 04:42:56,400
right to terminate

6880
04:42:56,400 --> 04:42:57,400
the convention center agreement and

6881
04:42:57,400 --> 04:42:59,400
other terms that

6882
04:42:59,400 --> 04:43:02,400
they're relying on. So we think it's highly

6883
04:43:02,400 --> 04:43:03,400
unlikely that, "a," you're not going to

6884
04:43:03,400 --> 04:43:05,400
be comfortable and

6885
04:43:05,400 --> 04:43:06,400
approve the special event zone, because

6886
04:43:06,400 --> 04:43:08,800
it's something that makes

6887
04:43:09,400 --> 04:43:11,400
sense, frankly, for all parties. We think

6888
04:43:11,400 --> 04:43:12,400
it's highly unlikely that they will

6889
04:43:12,400 --> 04:43:14,400
exercise a

6890
04:43:14,400 --> 04:43:15,400
termination right if, for some reason,

6891
04:43:15,400 --> 04:43:17,400
that you don't. But they

6892
04:43:17,400 --> 04:43:18,400
are insisting upon this termination

6893
04:43:18,400 --> 04:43:21,400
right. And I don't like

6894
04:43:21,400 --> 04:43:22,400
it, I'll tell you that. I don't like

6895
04:43:22,400 --> 04:43:24,400
that being a downstream thing. Even

6896
04:43:24,400 --> 04:43:26,400
if the likelihood of

6897
04:43:26,400 --> 04:43:27,400
it occurring is low, I don't like

6898
04:43:27,400 --> 04:43:30,400
having that provision in there.

6899
04:43:30,400 --> 04:43:32,400
but it

6900
04:43:32,400 --> 04:43:36,000
is something that they're saying is

6901
04:43:36,400 --> 04:43:37,400
necessary, and so we're going to manage and

6902
04:43:37,400 --> 04:43:42,200
mitigate the risks as much as we can.

6903
04:43:42,400 --> 04:43:44,800
again, there's a similar

6904
04:43:45,400 --> 04:43:46,400
provision in the super bowl 50 agreement

6905
04:43:46,400 --> 04:43:47,400
that

6906
04:43:47,400 --> 04:43:48,400
contemplated a special event zone that

6907
04:43:48,400 --> 04:43:50,400
the

6908
04:43:50,400 --> 04:43:51,400
council put into place in october

6909
04:43:51,400 --> 04:43:53,400
before the

6910
04:43:54,400 --> 04:43:56,400
february super bowl.

6911
04:43:57,400 --> 04:43:58,400
so we're a little bit

6912
04:43:58,400 --> 04:43:59,400
behind with that but hoping to get

6913
04:43:59,400 --> 04:44:00,400
that in front of you as soon as late

6914
04:44:00,400 --> 04:44:02,400
october, early november.

6915
04:44:02,400 --> 04:44:03,400
we already have a substantial draft

6916
04:44:03,400 --> 04:44:05,400
that's

6917
04:44:05,400 --> 04:44:06,400
being circulated and reviewed we believe

6918
04:44:06,400 --> 04:44:07,400
is consistent

6919
04:44:07,400 --> 04:44:09,400
with what the nfl requirements will

6920
04:44:09,400 --> 04:44:10,400
be. There's a bunch of

6921
04:44:10,400 --> 04:44:12,400
additional agreements. I went through

6922
04:44:12,400 --> 04:44:15,400
these in detail the last time.

6923
04:44:15,400 --> 04:44:16,400
there's a third-party funding agreement

6924
04:44:16,400 --> 04:44:17,400
that says

6925
04:44:17,400 --> 04:44:18,400
if they get money from a third party

6926
04:44:18,400 --> 04:44:20,400
that

6927
04:44:21,400 --> 04:44:23,400
gets paid to us, that offsets

6928
04:44:23,400 --> 04:44:24,400
our expenses. Of course, that reduces

6929
04:44:24,400 --> 04:44:26,400
the amount they

6930
04:44:26,400 --> 04:44:27,400
would need to pay us. We're told there's

6931
04:44:27,400 --> 04:44:29,400
not that kind of money for this

6932
04:44:29,400 --> 04:44:30,400
event, so we're not expecting that

6933
04:44:30,400 --> 04:44:32,400
from providing to

6934
04:44:32,400 --> 04:44:33,400
be triggered, but it's there. We're

6935
04:44:33,400 --> 04:44:35,400
not expecting there to be

6936
04:44:35,400 --> 04:44:36,400
capital improvements that are required

6937
04:44:36,400 --> 04:44:38,400
by the nfl

6938
04:44:39,400 --> 04:44:41,400
in significant contrast

6939
04:44:41,400 --> 04:44:42,400
to what fifa is requiring. But but

6940
04:44:42,400 --> 04:44:43,400
if there are

6941
04:44:43,400 --> 04:44:45,400
required improvements they're responsible

6942
04:44:45,400 --> 04:44:46,400
for overseeing and implementing those

6943
04:44:46,400 --> 04:44:48,400
entirely at

6944
04:44:48,400 --> 04:44:51,400
their cost, not at our cost.

6945
04:44:51,400 --> 04:44:52,400
we've agreed to expedite

6946
04:44:52,400 --> 04:44:54,400
permitting if we can, but they have

6947
04:44:54,400 --> 04:44:55,400
to pay us all of our permitting

6948
04:44:55,400 --> 04:44:57,400
fees in accordance with our standard applicable

6949
04:44:57,400 --> 04:44:59,400
rates.

6950
04:45:00,400 --> 04:45:02,400
they do

6951
04:45:02,400 --> 04:45:03,400
get to have access to the stadium, of

6952
04:45:03,400 --> 04:45:05,400
course, if

6953
04:45:05,400 --> 04:45:06,400
there's a separate agreement that

6954
04:45:06,400 --> 04:45:08,400
the nfl requires

6955
04:45:08,400 --> 04:45:09,400
it needs to be consistent with the

6956
04:45:09,400 --> 04:45:11,800
terms of this agreement.

6957
04:45:12,400 --> 04:45:14,400
bay area host committee and manco

6958
04:45:14,400 --> 04:45:15,400
and stadco are agreeing to assist

6959
04:45:15,400 --> 04:45:17,800
us with the joint

6960
04:45:18,400 --> 04:45:19,400
marketing of city assets. The city

6961
04:45:19,400 --> 04:45:20,400
manager

6962
04:45:20,400 --> 04:45:21,400
described that agreent to you that you approved

6963
04:45:21,400 --> 04:45:23,400
earlier on concert.

6964
04:45:28,400 --> 04:45:29,400
we'll endeavor

6965
04:45:29,400 --> 04:45:30,400
to monetize city assets in and around

6966
04:45:30,400 --> 04:45:34,400
the stadium in partnership with the nfl and

6967
04:45:34,400 --> 04:45:36,400
nfl sponsors.

6968
04:45:36,400 --> 04:45:37,400
there's a conflict of interest provision

6969
04:45:37,400 --> 04:45:39,400
similar to

6970
04:45:40,400 --> 04:45:42,400
what's contained in fifa,

6971
04:45:42,400 --> 04:45:43,400
consisting with the guiding principles,

6972
04:45:43,400 --> 04:45:45,400
madam mayor,

6973
04:45:46,400 --> 04:45:48,800
that applies to both

6974
04:45:49,400 --> 04:45:50,400
manco, stadco, bay

6975
04:45:50,400 --> 04:45:51,400
area host committee, and both of us

6976
04:45:51,400 --> 04:45:52,400
consistent with applicable laws and

6977
04:45:52,400 --> 04:45:53,400
existing

6978
04:45:53,400 --> 04:45:55,400
policies. There's no city waiver of

6979
04:45:55,400 --> 04:45:57,800
local taxes or fees.

6980
04:45:58,400 --> 04:46:00,400
we did not agree

6981
04:46:00,400 --> 04:46:01,400
to that. And there's some agreement from

6982
04:46:01,400 --> 04:46:02,400
the bay area

6983
04:46:02,400 --> 04:46:04,400
host committee to assist it is with marketing

6984
04:46:04,400 --> 04:46:06,400
and promotions of the city,

6985
04:46:06,400 --> 04:46:07,400
including trying to secure, for example,

6986
04:46:07,400 --> 04:46:09,400
for

6987
04:46:09,400 --> 04:46:10,400
the parade of champions some local

6988
04:46:10,400 --> 04:46:12,800
sports figures in order

6989
04:46:13,400 --> 04:46:15,400
to help, you

6990
04:46:15,400 --> 04:46:16,400
know, add enthusiasm and some interest

6991
04:46:16,400 --> 04:46:18,400
to that event.

6992
04:46:19,400 --> 04:46:21,400
legal provisions. There's indemnity nights

6993
04:46:21,400 --> 04:46:22,400
that are good. There's insurance that

6994
04:46:22,400 --> 04:46:23,400
is

6995
04:46:23,400 --> 04:46:25,400
already in place. But an agreement

6996
04:46:25,400 --> 04:46:27,400
that

6997
04:46:28,400 --> 04:46:29,400
will identify and obtain

6998
04:46:29,400 --> 04:46:31,400
specialty insurance if necessary with

6999
04:46:31,400 --> 04:46:32,400
them, bay area

7000
04:46:32,400 --> 04:46:34,400
host and/or stadco, bearing the cost

7001
04:46:34,400 --> 04:46:35,400
of that if it's, in

7002
04:46:35,400 --> 04:46:37,400
fact, reasonably necessary in connection

7003
04:46:37,400 --> 04:46:40,400
with this event and we're

7004
04:46:40,400 --> 04:46:42,400
expecting there couldcould

7005
04:46:43,400 --> 04:46:45,400
some additional insurance

7006
04:46:46,400 --> 04:46:47,400
required. In fact, manco,

7007
04:46:47,400 --> 04:46:49,400
stadco, risk manager themselves have

7008
04:46:49,400 --> 04:46:52,400
identified things that they want to get

7009
04:46:52,400 --> 04:46:53,400
that they think is

7010
04:46:53,400 --> 04:46:55,400
appropriate to purchase in light of

7011
04:46:55,400 --> 04:46:57,400
the elevated

7012
04:46:58,400 --> 04:47:00,400
risks that a super bowl might present.

7013
04:47:00,400 --> 04:47:01,400
there's legal provisions in the event

7014
04:47:01,400 --> 04:47:03,400
of failure

7015
04:47:04,400 --> 04:47:05,400
to pay. The actual rate for bay

7016
04:47:05,400 --> 04:47:07,400
area host committee that they have

7017
04:47:07,400 --> 04:47:10,400
to pay is 12% --looks like 15%.

7018
04:47:10,400 --> 04:47:11,400
I did better than 12. 15% per

7019
04:47:11,400 --> 04:47:16,400
year until paid if they fail to pay on time.

7020
04:47:16,400 --> 04:47:18,400
and there is provisions as

7021
04:47:18,400 --> 04:47:19,400
we've talked about for dispute resolution

7022
04:47:19,400 --> 04:47:21,400
that

7023
04:47:22,400 --> 04:47:23,400
are designed to,

7024
04:47:23,400 --> 04:47:25,400
even though these things can take time, to

7025
04:47:25,400 --> 04:47:27,400
actually have

7026
04:47:27,400 --> 04:47:28,400
expedited outcomes in the event of

7027
04:47:28,400 --> 04:47:29,400
a dispute

7028
04:47:29,400 --> 04:47:31,400
over any of the obligations under

7029
04:47:31,400 --> 04:47:32,400
the agreement, but particularly disputes

7030
04:47:32,400 --> 04:47:34,400
that there might be over amounts that

7031
04:47:34,400 --> 04:47:36,400
were owed.

7032
04:47:37,400 --> 04:47:39,400
so that, I

7033
04:47:39,400 --> 04:47:41,400
think, is where I get to turn it back

7034
04:47:41,400 --> 04:47:46,400
over to the city manager to discuss with his

7035
04:47:46,400 --> 04:47:48,400
fancy tricks to

7036
04:47:48,400 --> 04:47:49,400
have things come up one at a time.

7037
04:47:49,400 --> 04:47:51,400
the financial impacts and

7038
04:47:51,400 --> 04:47:52,400
then closing remarks and obviously

7039
04:47:52,400 --> 04:47:54,400
I'm here to answer any

7040
04:47:54,400 --> 04:47:55,400
questions.

7041
04:47:55,400 --> 04:47:56,400
>> thank you. Thank you, city attorney.

7042
04:47:56,400 --> 04:47:58,800
>> thank you, madam mayor.

7043
04:48:03,400 --> 04:48:04,400
>> we will close this out pretty quickly.

7044
04:48:04,400 --> 04:48:06,400
as we discussed

7045
04:48:07,400 --> 04:48:10,400
before, the total estimated cost

7046
04:48:10,400 --> 04:48:11,400
to the city for the

7047
04:48:11,400 --> 04:48:13,400
full complement of what we call public

7048
04:48:13,400 --> 04:48:15,400
safety services, which we know is

7049
04:48:15,400 --> 04:48:16,400
not just police and fire. That also

7050
04:48:16,400 --> 04:48:18,400
includes our

7051
04:48:18,400 --> 04:48:22,400
public works staff that set up barricades and

7052
04:48:22,400 --> 04:48:25,400
other people that support --

7053
04:48:25,400 --> 04:48:27,400
is $6. 4 million, just under

7054
04:48:27,400 --> 04:48:28,400
$6. 5 million of what we call qualified

7055
04:48:28,400 --> 04:48:30,400
event

7056
04:48:30,400 --> 04:48:32,800
expenses. There's revenue associated

7057
04:48:33,400 --> 04:48:34,400
with the convention center. That minimum

7058
04:48:34,400 --> 04:48:36,400
there is showed as

7059
04:48:36,400 --> 04:48:37,400
the rent. That does not include other

7060
04:48:37,400 --> 04:48:39,400
food and

7061
04:48:40,400 --> 04:48:42,400
beverage, I.t. ,

7062
04:48:43,400 --> 04:48:45,400
audio/visual expenses.

7063
04:48:45,400 --> 04:48:46,400
city attorney mentioned the senior youth and programming

7064
04:48:46,400 --> 04:48:48,400
fee.

7065
04:48:51,400 --> 04:48:52,400
also, as the city attorney mentioned,

7066
04:48:52,400 --> 04:48:54,800
the league event agreement

7067
04:48:55,400 --> 04:48:57,400
does not include a waiver of any

7068
04:48:57,400 --> 04:48:58,400
local taxes, and the host committee

7069
04:48:58,400 --> 04:49:01,400
is to support the city

7070
04:49:01,400 --> 04:49:02,400
in our marketing efforts for city

7071
04:49:02,400 --> 04:49:04,400
assets as

7072
04:49:04,400 --> 04:49:05,400
we seek to recover revenue

7073
04:49:05,400 --> 04:49:09,000
or generate revenue from city assets.

7074
04:49:10,400 --> 04:49:12,400
and in

7075
04:49:13,400 --> 04:49:15,800
conclusion, in general, the

7076
04:49:16,400 --> 04:49:17,400
agreement before you improved on the

7077
04:49:17,400 --> 04:49:19,400
terms that

7078
04:49:19,400 --> 04:49:22,400
the city adopted for super bowl 50.

7079
04:49:22,400 --> 04:49:24,400
it covers reimbursement of our costs as well

7080
04:49:24,400 --> 04:49:25,400
as provides a financial backstop.

7081
04:49:25,400 --> 04:49:27,400
it

7082
04:49:28,400 --> 04:49:31,400
includes very detailed and transparent

7083
04:49:31,400 --> 04:49:34,400
process for reimbursement and advancement.

7084
04:49:34,400 --> 04:49:37,400
that process we're doing now.

7085
04:49:37,400 --> 04:49:40,400
we talked about, gosh, at least a year

7086
04:49:40,400 --> 04:49:42,800
ago, how we made

7087
04:49:43,400 --> 04:49:45,400
enhance manies to that process.

7088
04:49:45,400 --> 04:49:46,400
and assistant city manager baker,

7089
04:49:46,400 --> 04:49:49,400
our finance staff, working with

7090
04:49:49,400 --> 04:49:51,400
all the departments that have

7091
04:49:51,400 --> 04:49:52,400
been supporting efforts, are going

7092
04:49:52,400 --> 04:49:54,400
through that process

7093
04:49:55,400 --> 04:49:58,400
with the interim funding agreemen.

7094
04:49:58,400 --> 04:50:01,400
it modifies the stadium lease to

7095
04:50:01,400 --> 04:50:03,400
ensure that the provisions do

7096
04:50:03,400 --> 04:50:04,400
not trigger caps. For example, the

7097
04:50:04,400 --> 04:50:06,400
caps on

7098
04:50:07,400 --> 04:50:10,400
public safety costs or the senior

7099
04:50:10,400 --> 04:50:11,400
and youth program fee. It generates

7100
04:50:11,400 --> 04:50:12,400
revenue

7101
04:50:12,400 --> 04:50:13,400
for the city through the convention

7102
04:50:13,400 --> 04:50:16,400
center and other provisions. So

7103
04:50:16,400 --> 04:50:18,400
with that, staff is

7104
04:50:18,400 --> 04:50:19,400
recommending that you discuss and

7105
04:50:19,400 --> 04:50:21,800
approve the league event

7106
04:50:22,400 --> 04:50:23,400
agreement with all the parties in

7107
04:50:23,400 --> 04:50:25,400
the state

7108
04:50:25,400 --> 04:50:27,800
fair. And again, thank

7109
04:50:28,400 --> 04:50:29,400
you for your feedback and the discussions

7110
04:50:29,400 --> 04:50:31,400
last

7111
04:50:31,400 --> 04:50:33,400
time. We're here to answer any questions.

7112
04:50:33,400 --> 04:50:34,400
we certainly understand that this

7113
04:50:34,400 --> 04:50:36,400
is

7114
04:50:37,400 --> 04:50:38,400
a very important, very detailed agreement.

7115
04:50:38,400 --> 04:50:40,400
and

7116
04:50:40,400 --> 04:50:43,400
so we're here to facilitate

7117
04:50:43,400 --> 04:50:45,400
discussion. And then the

7118
04:50:45,400 --> 04:50:47,400
last action is direct --authorize

7119
04:50:47,400 --> 04:50:48,400
and direct the

7120
04:50:48,400 --> 04:50:50,400
city manager/executive director to

7121
04:50:50,400 --> 04:50:51,400
take the

7122
04:50:51,400 --> 04:50:53,400
necessary actions to implement the

7123
04:50:53,400 --> 04:50:54,400
terms, and there are

7124
04:50:54,400 --> 04:50:55,400
several. Thank you.

7125
04:50:55,400 --> 04:50:56,400
>> all right, thank

7126
04:50:56,400 --> 04:50:57,400
you. We're going to

7127
04:50:57,400 --> 04:50:59,400
start with questions from city council.

7128
04:50:59,400 --> 04:51:01,400
vice mayor cox.

7129
04:51:05,400 --> 04:51:07,400
>> thanks. Let's get it started.

7130
04:51:07,400 --> 04:51:08,400
so a few questions. And thank you

7131
04:51:08,400 --> 04:51:10,400
for the presentation.

7132
04:51:10,400 --> 04:51:12,400
I wanted to know, the agreement specifies that

7133
04:51:12,400 --> 04:51:14,400
police services are at time and a

7134
04:51:14,400 --> 04:51:16,400
half. But that fire

7135
04:51:16,400 --> 04:51:17,400
remained under negotiation. So I want

7136
04:51:17,400 --> 04:51:18,400
to

7137
04:51:18,400 --> 04:51:20,400
know without that certainty if this

7138
04:51:20,400 --> 04:51:21,400
could become another area of

7139
04:51:21,400 --> 04:51:23,400
dispute afterwards. So do you intend

7140
04:51:23,400 --> 04:51:25,400
to restore that

7141
04:51:25,400 --> 04:51:26,400
or resolve that before final execution?

7142
04:51:26,400 --> 04:51:28,400
and would it

7143
04:51:28,400 --> 04:51:31,400
be wise to put "not to exceed" rates

7144
04:51:31,400 --> 04:51:32,400
for police and fire --fire services paid by

7145
04:51:32,400 --> 04:51:34,400
the city now?

7146
04:51:35,400 --> 04:51:37,400
I want to know a

7147
04:51:37,400 --> 04:51:38,400
little bit about the pre-event expenses

7148
04:51:38,400 --> 04:51:40,400
that

7149
04:51:41,400 --> 04:51:44,400
we accrued before july of 2024.

7150
04:51:44,400 --> 04:51:46,400
there was a ticket item for

7151
04:51:46,400 --> 04:51:47,400
$124,000 that was only going to be

7152
04:51:47,400 --> 04:51:48,400
reimbursable if

7153
04:51:48,400 --> 04:51:50,400
government funding came through. So

7154
04:51:50,400 --> 04:51:52,400
I want to know if

7155
04:51:52,400 --> 04:51:53,400
there has been an update on that.

7156
04:51:53,400 --> 04:51:54,400
again, this

7157
04:51:54,400 --> 04:51:56,400
is going to be something that the

7158
04:51:56,400 --> 04:51:58,400
city

7159
04:51:58,400 --> 04:51:59,400
is on the hook for if it doesn't come

7160
04:51:59,400 --> 04:52:02,400
through. Does that immediately go to the

7161
04:52:02,400 --> 04:52:04,400
stadium authority?

7162
04:52:04,400 --> 04:52:05,400
parking offset fees were put in but

7163
04:52:05,400 --> 04:52:06,400
the term

7164
04:52:06,400 --> 04:52:08,400
is parking fees attributable to the game.

7165
04:52:08,400 --> 04:52:10,400
so I

7166
04:52:10,400 --> 04:52:11,400
think that lacks precise definition

7167
04:52:11,400 --> 04:52:13,400
and could

7168
04:52:13,400 --> 04:52:14,400
be scrutinized later. So I want to

7169
04:52:14,400 --> 04:52:15,400
know

7170
04:52:15,400 --> 04:52:17,400
how will parking offsets be calculated

7171
04:52:17,400 --> 04:52:19,400
and audited to

7172
04:52:20,400 --> 04:52:21,400
ensure that accuracy? For

7173
04:52:21,400 --> 04:52:23,400
the 4,000th time I'm going to ask

7174
04:52:23,400 --> 04:52:25,400
if you feel recovered

7175
04:52:25,400 --> 04:52:26,400
enough on what we're considering allowable

7176
04:52:26,400 --> 04:52:27,400
and

7177
04:52:27,400 --> 04:52:29,400
reimbursable expenses in our exhibits.

7178
04:52:29,400 --> 04:52:30,400
for example, something like

7179
04:52:30,400 --> 04:52:32,400
our determination the beautification

7180
04:52:32,400 --> 04:52:34,400
near the

7181
04:52:34,400 --> 04:52:35,400
stadium was to happen. Is that something

7182
04:52:35,400 --> 04:52:37,400
that would

7183
04:52:37,400 --> 04:52:41,000
be covered? The special event zone

7184
04:52:41,400 --> 04:52:42,400
ordinance

7185
04:52:42,400 --> 04:52:44,400
and the termination rights I also

7186
04:52:44,400 --> 04:52:45,400
think is concerning. I think

7187
04:52:45,400 --> 04:52:47,400
what is concerning about that, as

7188
04:52:47,400 --> 04:52:49,400
you mentioned,

7189
04:52:49,400 --> 04:52:50,400
is that this doesn't feel much like

7190
04:52:50,400 --> 04:52:51,400
a

7191
04:52:51,400 --> 04:52:53,400
choice, more like a condition. So

7192
04:52:53,400 --> 04:52:54,400
I want to know what

7193
04:52:54,400 --> 04:52:56,400
those negotiations are going to look

7194
04:52:56,400 --> 04:52:58,400
like.

7195
04:52:59,400 --> 04:53:01,400
I think the public already

7196
04:53:01,400 --> 04:53:04,400
feels squeezed in terms what was they're going to

7197
04:53:04,400 --> 04:53:07,400
be howed to do around the stadium.

7198
04:53:07,400 --> 04:53:08,400
we have tremendous leverage here, so

7199
04:53:08,400 --> 04:53:10,800
we shouldn't enter into

7200
04:53:11,400 --> 04:53:12,400
that trepidatiously. The advance payment

7201
04:53:12,400 --> 04:53:14,400
options are

7202
04:53:14,400 --> 04:53:16,400
a thing --I just wanted to run

7203
04:53:16,400 --> 04:53:17,400
this by. It sounds like the current

7204
04:53:17,400 --> 04:53:19,400
draft,

7205
04:53:19,400 --> 04:53:20,400
50% to the host committee on november

7206
04:53:20,400 --> 04:53:22,400
15th. But

7207
04:53:22,400 --> 04:53:23,400
the contract itself acknowledges that

7208
04:53:23,400 --> 04:53:24,400
the costs are

7209
04:53:24,400 --> 04:53:25,400
going to be updated on january 15th.

7210
04:53:25,400 --> 04:53:29,400
we are supposed to be paid on december 25th.

7211
04:53:29,400 --> 04:53:31,400
so

7212
04:53:31,400 --> 04:53:32,400
two weeks after we get a more accurate

7213
04:53:32,400 --> 04:53:34,400
representation what was

7214
04:53:34,400 --> 04:53:35,400
we're actually going to be looking at

7215
04:53:35,400 --> 04:53:37,400
for a

7216
04:53:37,400 --> 04:53:38,400
50% cost. Now that delay between november

7217
04:53:38,400 --> 04:53:39,400
and january

7218
04:53:39,400 --> 04:53:40,400
could mean that there's substantial --

7219
04:53:40,400 --> 04:53:41,400
I know there's a flagging mechanism

7220
04:53:41,400 --> 04:53:42,400
in

7221
04:53:42,400 --> 04:53:44,400
that, but we would be on the hook

7222
04:53:44,400 --> 04:53:46,400
for that balance in between.

7223
04:53:46,400 --> 04:53:47,400
so I I'm wondering if we could true

7224
04:53:47,400 --> 04:53:49,400
up closer

7225
04:53:50,400 --> 04:53:52,400
to january 15th,

7226
04:53:52,400 --> 04:53:53,400
then, and you know, if the 50% was

7227
04:53:53,400 --> 04:53:54,400
substantially

7228
04:53:54,400 --> 04:53:56,400
different, we would look like that

7229
04:53:56,400 --> 04:53:58,400
reserve and then I think,

7230
04:53:58,400 --> 04:53:59,400
again, the backstop is still a concern to

7231
04:53:59,400 --> 04:54:01,400
me.

7232
04:54:02,400 --> 04:54:04,400
you know,

7233
04:54:05,400 --> 04:54:07,400
on paper, we have a guarantee that

7234
04:54:07,400 --> 04:54:08,400
the host committee, if they fail to

7235
04:54:08,400 --> 04:54:10,800
reimburse, will go to

7236
04:54:11,400 --> 04:54:13,400
the stadium, stadco.

7237
04:54:14,400 --> 04:54:15,400
but again, that is a

7238
04:54:15,400 --> 04:54:17,400
tenant lessee or landlord situation

7239
04:54:17,400 --> 04:54:19,400
where the primary asset is already

7240
04:54:19,400 --> 04:54:20,400
city-owned. So it kind of becomes

7241
04:54:20,400 --> 04:54:22,400
a circular

7242
04:54:22,400 --> 04:54:23,400
guarantee. And I know it sounds like there

7243
04:54:23,400 --> 04:54:25,800
was not appetite to

7244
04:54:26,400 --> 04:54:27,400
put teamco as a backstop,

7245
04:54:27,400 --> 04:54:29,400
but you know, we got a letter from

7246
04:54:29,400 --> 04:54:31,400
the public this

7247
04:54:31,400 --> 04:54:32,400
week that said, I want to thank you

7248
04:54:32,400 --> 04:54:34,400
for securing funding for this.

7249
04:54:34,400 --> 04:54:35,400
I want it to be known, we have secured

7250
04:54:35,400 --> 04:54:37,400
no funding for this.

7251
04:54:37,400 --> 04:54:38,400
we have only paid out for this. And

7252
04:54:38,400 --> 04:54:39,400
again, it seems

7253
04:54:39,400 --> 04:54:41,400
like we're entering into a lending

7254
04:54:41,400 --> 04:54:42,400
agreement with an entity,

7255
04:54:42,400 --> 04:54:44,400
the bay area host committee, that

7256
04:54:44,400 --> 04:54:46,400
is not an asset-rich community

7257
04:54:46,400 --> 04:54:52,400
and has not yet disclosed its financial standing to us.

7258
04:54:52,400 --> 04:54:55,400
it was said in yahoo! Sports this

7259
04:54:55,400 --> 04:54:56,400
week, al guido said, we're already

7260
04:54:56,400 --> 04:54:58,400
signed up hundreds of

7261
04:54:58,400 --> 04:54:59,400
millions of dollars support this.

7262
04:54:59,400 --> 04:55:01,400
if that is true,

7263
04:55:01,400 --> 04:55:02,400
and I'd love to know if that is accurate, I

7264
04:55:02,400 --> 04:55:04,400
don't know why we're

7265
04:55:04,400 --> 04:55:05,400
not asking for a letter of credit

7266
04:55:05,400 --> 04:55:07,400
for this. This

7267
04:55:08,400 --> 04:55:10,400
is a massive risk. And I

7268
04:55:10,400 --> 04:55:11,400
just think circularly using our own

7269
04:55:11,400 --> 04:55:13,400
assets as a

7270
04:55:14,400 --> 04:55:15,400
backstop is a really foolish thing

7271
04:55:15,400 --> 04:55:17,400
to

7272
04:55:17,400 --> 04:55:19,400
do. So I want to make this

7273
04:55:19,400 --> 04:55:20,400
protection meaningful. And I think

7274
04:55:20,400 --> 04:55:22,400
that --yeah,

7275
04:55:23,400 --> 04:55:26,400
that's good, thanks, that's all.

7276
04:55:26,400 --> 04:55:28,400
>> councilmember jain?

7277
04:55:32,400 --> 04:55:34,400
>> yeah,

7278
04:55:35,400 --> 04:55:37,400
I'm reading from section

7279
04:55:37,400 --> 04:55:41,400
3.b. And this is from the staff report.

7280
04:55:41,400 --> 04:55:43,400
says, the city

7281
04:55:44,400 --> 04:55:45,400
is responsible

7282
04:55:45,400 --> 04:55:47,400
for preparing preliminary cost estimate

7283
04:55:47,400 --> 04:55:49,400
for its projected

7284
04:55:49,400 --> 04:55:50,400
necessary super bowl support services.

7285
04:55:50,400 --> 04:55:52,400
event planning and

7286
04:55:53,400 --> 04:55:54,400
training expenses are currently estimated

7287
04:55:54,400 --> 04:55:56,400
at

7288
04:55:56,400 --> 04:55:58,400
$906,000, required event equipment

7289
04:55:59,400 --> 04:56:01,400
costs are estimated

7290
04:56:02,400 --> 04:56:04,400
at $494,000. The actual

7291
04:56:05,400 --> 04:56:07,800
event expenses are estimated

7292
04:56:08,400 --> 04:56:10,400
to be $5. 027 million.

7293
04:56:11,400 --> 04:56:14,400
for a total of $6.4 million.

7294
04:56:14,400 --> 04:56:16,400
and

7295
04:56:17,400 --> 04:56:20,400
then section 5. A says that,

7296
04:56:20,400 --> 04:56:22,400
to assure payment of actual event

7297
04:56:22,400 --> 04:56:23,400
expenses, bay area host committee agrees

7298
04:56:23,400 --> 04:56:25,400
to make an

7299
04:56:26,400 --> 04:56:29,400
advance payment to the city

7300
04:56:29,400 --> 04:56:32,400
of 50% of the estimated actual event expenses.

7301
04:56:32,400 --> 04:56:34,400
based on current

7302
04:56:34,400 --> 04:56:36,400
deployment costs this payment could

7303
04:56:36,400 --> 04:56:38,400
be

7304
04:56:39,400 --> 04:56:41,400
approximately $2.

7305
04:56:42,400 --> 04:56:44,400
5 million.

7306
04:56:45,400 --> 04:56:47,400
so in section

7307
04:56:47,400 --> 04:56:48,400
3. B, there was some estimation of

7308
04:56:48,400 --> 04:56:49,400
costs. Those

7309
04:56:49,400 --> 04:56:53,000
were the city's estimations of cost.

7310
04:56:54,400 --> 04:56:56,400
but

7311
04:56:56,400 --> 04:56:57,400
apparently, am I understanding that

7312
04:56:57,400 --> 04:56:59,400
the

7313
04:56:59,400 --> 04:57:00,400
host committee is accepting those

7314
04:57:00,400 --> 04:57:02,800
numbers and then going

7315
04:57:03,400 --> 04:57:05,400
to give us half of the

7316
04:57:05,400 --> 04:57:06,400
$5 million --I don't know why it's

7317
04:57:06,400 --> 04:57:08,400
not half of the

7318
04:57:08,400 --> 04:57:09,400
$6. 4 million. I know they've given

7319
04:57:09,400 --> 04:57:11,400
us an advance

7320
04:57:12,400 --> 04:57:14,400
of $250,000 for advance planning

7321
04:57:14,400 --> 04:57:18,400
and such. But I'm kind of trying to

7322
04:57:18,400 --> 04:57:20,400
figure out why it's not half of

7323
04:57:20,400 --> 04:57:21,400
$6. 4 million rather than half of

7324
04:57:21,400 --> 04:57:23,400
$5.027 million.

7325
04:57:27,400 --> 04:57:29,400
I really like

7326
04:57:30,400 --> 04:57:32,800
the transit occupancy tax

7327
04:57:33,400 --> 04:57:35,400
change. So from

7328
04:57:36,400 --> 04:57:38,800
2013 , let me read here.

7329
04:57:45,400 --> 04:57:47,400
from

7330
04:57:48,400 --> 04:57:50,800
2016, the agreement was --2013,

7331
04:57:51,400 --> 04:57:53,400
the

7332
04:57:54,400 --> 04:57:56,400
agreement was, the nfl requires that

7333
04:57:56,400 --> 04:57:57,400
the nfl and its affiliates be exempted

7334
04:57:57,400 --> 04:57:59,400
from the

7335
04:58:00,400 --> 04:58:03,400
payment of any transit occupancy

7336
04:58:03,400 --> 04:58:05,400
taxes associated with hotel

7337
04:58:05,400 --> 04:58:06,400
rooms, occupied by representatives of

7338
04:58:06,400 --> 04:58:09,400
the nfl and its affiliates.

7339
04:58:13,400 --> 04:58:15,400
at that time we said, hostky recognizes adoption

7340
04:58:15,400 --> 04:58:18,400
of an ordinance where the city would

7341
04:58:18,400 --> 04:58:19,400
say that we're not going to waive

7342
04:58:19,400 --> 04:58:21,400
this. Is subject to discretionary

7343
04:58:21,400 --> 04:58:24,400
approval of the city council.

7344
04:58:24,400 --> 04:58:26,800
I guess my question

7345
04:58:27,400 --> 04:58:29,800
is, did the city

7346
04:58:30,400 --> 04:58:31,400
council ever

7347
04:58:31,400 --> 04:58:33,400
approve denying that waiver that the nfl

7348
04:58:33,400 --> 04:58:35,400
required?

7349
04:58:36,400 --> 04:58:38,400
and why is

7350
04:58:38,400 --> 04:58:39,400
the nfl not requiring that waiver

7351
04:58:39,400 --> 04:58:41,400
now? I'm

7352
04:58:42,400 --> 04:58:43,400
very pleased that we're going to charge

7353
04:58:43,400 --> 04:58:44,400
the

7354
04:58:44,400 --> 04:58:45,400
full transit occupancy tax, but was that a

7355
04:58:45,400 --> 04:58:47,400
change in policy?

7356
04:59:00,400 --> 04:59:01,400
what I'm trying to

7357
04:59:01,400 --> 04:59:03,400
understand, there's a dispute about

7358
04:59:03,400 --> 04:59:04,400
what's reasonable cost, but sounds

7359
04:59:04,400 --> 04:59:06,400
like

7360
04:59:06,400 --> 04:59:09,400
the bay area host committee is accepting our estimate of the

7361
04:59:09,400 --> 04:59:11,800
costs. Which is why

7362
04:59:12,400 --> 04:59:13,400
they're giving us half of something.

7363
04:59:13,400 --> 04:59:15,400
so

7364
04:59:15,400 --> 04:59:16,400
I'd like

7365
04:59:16,400 --> 04:59:17,400
to understand whether we think there's

7366
04:59:17,400 --> 04:59:21,400
going to be a dispute later. Thank you.

7367
04:59:21,400 --> 04:59:23,400
>>

7368
04:59:24,400 --> 04:59:26,400
councilmember hardy?

7369
04:59:26,400 --> 04:59:27,400
>> thank you. First off, I will say,

7370
04:59:27,400 --> 04:59:29,400
reading the

7371
04:59:29,400 --> 04:59:30,400
redline version of this really helped

7372
04:59:30,400 --> 04:59:32,400
to

7373
04:59:33,400 --> 04:59:35,400
show the changes. Because you

7374
04:59:35,400 --> 04:59:36,400
had gone through it in great detail.

7375
04:59:36,400 --> 04:59:38,400
and

7376
04:59:39,400 --> 04:59:41,800
just to see those

7377
04:59:42,400 --> 04:59:43,400
changes were a lot of what we were

7378
04:59:43,400 --> 04:59:44,400
concerned about.

7379
04:59:44,400 --> 04:59:45,400
I did have the question about the

7380
04:59:45,400 --> 04:59:46,400
50% now

7381
04:59:46,400 --> 04:59:50,000
that we have a higher estimation.

7382
04:59:51,400 --> 04:59:53,800
I think it was

7383
04:59:54,400 --> 04:59:56,400
$6. 4 million. The

7384
04:59:57,400 --> 05:00:00,400
other we would be, if we

7385
05:00:00,400 --> 05:00:02,400
approve this

7386
05:00:03,400 --> 05:00:06,400
tonight, where is the --I guess it would

7387
05:00:06,400 --> 05:00:08,400
be stadco or manco --where are they

7388
05:00:08,400 --> 05:00:09,400
at on this? Have they approved this?

7389
05:00:09,400 --> 05:00:11,400
is

7390
05:00:12,400 --> 05:00:14,400
this a done deal with

7391
05:00:14,400 --> 05:00:15,400
everything that we've been asking

7392
05:00:15,400 --> 05:00:17,400
for, except for the

7393
05:00:17,400 --> 05:00:18,400
concern you had about the safety perimeter?

7394
05:00:18,400 --> 05:00:20,400
>> thank you.

7395
05:00:24,400 --> 05:00:25,400
councilmember chahal.

7396
05:00:25,400 --> 05:00:26,400
>> thank you, mayor.

7397
05:00:26,400 --> 05:00:30,400
thanks for the presentation. City attorney, city manager.

7398
05:00:30,400 --> 05:00:32,400
one question is

7399
05:00:33,400 --> 05:00:36,400
on the financial impact. Is there

7400
05:00:36,400 --> 05:00:39,400
a way we can find out what would

7401
05:00:39,400 --> 05:00:41,400
the impact of sales tax during the super

7402
05:00:41,400 --> 05:00:42,400
bowl at the stadium? If we can we

7403
05:00:42,400 --> 05:00:44,800
can find out that,

7404
05:00:45,400 --> 05:00:47,400
that would be

7405
05:00:48,400 --> 05:00:50,400
good. Regarding question

7406
05:00:50,400 --> 05:00:51,400
which councilmember jain raised on

7407
05:00:51,400 --> 05:00:53,400
5. 8,

7408
05:00:54,400 --> 05:00:56,400
50% of 6. 4 is not

7409
05:00:57,400 --> 05:00:58,400
$2. 5 million. Am I assuming $2. 5

7410
05:00:58,400 --> 05:00:59,400
million

7411
05:00:59,400 --> 05:01:00,400
is after all other expenses has been

7412
05:01:00,400 --> 05:01:02,800
paid? If you add

7413
05:01:03,400 --> 05:01:05,800
that, that would be

7414
05:01:06,400 --> 05:01:08,800
$3. 2 million, something like? I

7415
05:01:09,400 --> 05:01:11,400
might assume that? There are

7416
05:01:11,400 --> 05:01:12,400
some expenses that have been paid,

7417
05:01:12,400 --> 05:01:14,400
some in

7418
05:01:15,400 --> 05:01:18,400
the pipeline to be paid. I'm

7419
05:01:18,400 --> 05:01:20,400
assuming around $800,000,

7420
05:01:21,400 --> 05:01:23,400
$700,000 of that is what we already

7421
05:01:23,400 --> 05:01:24,400
got paid. I want to confirm that.

7422
05:01:24,400 --> 05:01:25,400
thank you.

7423
05:01:25,400 --> 05:01:27,400
>>

7424
05:01:27,400 --> 05:01:30,400
any other questions from councilmembers?

7425
05:01:30,400 --> 05:01:31,400
councilmember gonzalez.

7426
05:01:31,400 --> 05:01:33,400
>> thank you, mayor. As far as one of

7427
05:01:33,400 --> 05:01:35,800
the things that our

7428
05:01:36,400 --> 05:01:37,400
attorney mentioned is this is an improvement on

7429
05:01:37,400 --> 05:01:38,400
sb

7430
05:01:38,400 --> 05:01:39,400
50 agreement. So I want to make sure that's

7431
05:01:39,400 --> 05:01:41,400
the case.

7432
05:01:51,400 --> 05:01:52,400
similar question to --I've forgotten

7433
05:01:52,400 --> 05:01:53,400
which councilmember

7434
05:01:53,400 --> 05:01:54,400
mentioned, as far as this is an agreement

7435
05:01:54,400 --> 05:01:56,400
that we've drafted

7436
05:01:57,400 --> 05:02:00,400
here. What if the bay area host committee

7437
05:02:00,400 --> 05:02:02,800
does not agree with

7438
05:02:03,400 --> 05:02:06,400
the terms in this agreement?

7439
05:02:06,400 --> 05:02:09,400
I'd like to expedite arbitration.

7440
05:02:09,400 --> 05:02:12,400
it seems like each side would

7441
05:02:12,400 --> 05:02:14,400
pay forfor as

7442
05:02:14,400 --> 05:02:15,400
well are ifif that's correct. And

7443
05:02:15,400 --> 05:02:17,400
deflect I understand

7444
05:02:18,400 --> 05:02:21,400
that the 50% may not be a --the numbers

7445
05:02:21,400 --> 05:02:23,400
that we have here might

7446
05:02:23,400 --> 05:02:25,400
not be accurate, but definitely having

7447
05:02:25,400 --> 05:02:27,400
50% of it

7448
05:02:28,400 --> 05:02:30,400
up front would be

7449
05:02:30,400 --> 05:02:31,400
beneficial as those numbers may change.

7450
05:02:31,400 --> 05:02:36,800
but having some money up front would be beneficial.

7451
05:02:37,400 --> 05:02:38,400
>> thank you. I had a couple

7452
05:02:38,400 --> 05:02:42,600
of questions. One, I didn't see in

7453
05:02:43,400 --> 05:02:44,400
the league agreement --it didn't

7454
05:02:44,400 --> 05:02:46,400
recognize the team hotel costs. If

7455
05:02:46,400 --> 05:02:48,400
we have a

7456
05:02:49,400 --> 05:02:50,400
team

7457
05:02:50,400 --> 05:02:52,400
staying in santa clara? I think we

7458
05:02:52,400 --> 05:02:54,800
do? Yes. Does that $6.4

7459
05:02:55,400 --> 05:02:57,400
million

7460
05:02:57,400 --> 05:02:58,400
include the 24/7 security for the team

7461
05:02:58,400 --> 05:03:00,400
hotel?

7462
05:03:03,400 --> 05:03:04,400
because the city attorney mentioned

7463
05:03:04,400 --> 05:03:06,400
that

7464
05:03:07,400 --> 05:03:09,800
the annual event --actual

7465
05:03:10,400 --> 05:03:11,400
event expenses begin february

7466
05:03:11,400 --> 05:03:15,400
5th. And the game is february 8th.

7467
05:03:15,400 --> 05:03:19,400
but I remember last time the team was here for like a week.

7468
05:03:19,400 --> 05:03:21,400
and

7469
05:03:22,400 --> 05:03:23,400
our expenses were $1 million to $1.

7470
05:03:23,400 --> 05:03:25,400
5 million. So is that included in the $6.4

7471
05:03:25,400 --> 05:03:27,400
million?

7472
05:03:28,400 --> 05:03:30,400
my second

7473
05:03:31,400 --> 05:03:32,400
question

7474
05:03:32,400 --> 05:03:33,400
is, what would be the approximate cost

7475
05:03:33,400 --> 05:03:37,400
of litigation if disputes arise? I wanted to know that.

7476
05:03:37,400 --> 05:03:40,400
I'm still having an issue with

7477
05:03:40,400 --> 05:03:42,400
the

7478
05:03:45,400 --> 05:03:46,400
qualified costs, because it looks

7479
05:03:46,400 --> 05:03:47,400
like

7480
05:03:47,400 --> 05:03:49,400
the 49ers will judge what is approved for to us

7481
05:03:49,400 --> 05:03:51,400
pay back.

7482
05:03:52,400 --> 05:03:53,400
and I'm struggling with

7483
05:03:53,400 --> 05:03:54,400
that, because I don't think it's very

7484
05:03:54,400 --> 05:03:58,400
specific in this agreement what is a qualified expense.

7485
05:03:58,400 --> 05:04:00,400
I

7486
05:04:00,400 --> 05:04:01,400
want to know specifically what that is.

7487
05:04:01,400 --> 05:04:02,400
because it doesn't

7488
05:04:02,400 --> 05:04:04,400
look like we have any control over

7489
05:04:04,400 --> 05:04:06,400
that.

7490
05:04:06,400 --> 05:04:09,400
and I don't know many people that

7491
05:04:09,400 --> 05:04:10,400
would sign a contract and have the people

7492
05:04:10,400 --> 05:04:11,400
that

7493
05:04:11,400 --> 05:04:13,400
are paying them getting to decide how much

7494
05:04:13,400 --> 05:04:15,400
they

7495
05:04:16,400 --> 05:04:19,400
pay back. That fundamentally doesn't sit

7496
05:04:19,400 --> 05:04:23,000
with me at all. The backstop.

7497
05:04:25,400 --> 05:04:26,400
so the bay area host

7498
05:04:26,400 --> 05:04:28,400
committee is an organization that has no

7499
05:04:28,400 --> 05:04:30,400
assets.

7500
05:04:31,400 --> 05:04:33,400
stadco

7501
05:04:34,400 --> 05:04:36,400
also doesn't have any

7502
05:04:36,400 --> 05:04:38,400
meaningful, unencumberedunencumbered assets.

7503
05:04:40,400 --> 05:04:42,400
they're an llc and they have no tangible

7504
05:04:42,400 --> 05:04:43,400
assets. Their assets are in the stadium

7505
05:04:43,400 --> 05:04:45,400
of

7506
05:04:45,400 --> 05:04:46,400
the city attorney mentioned that they

7507
05:04:46,400 --> 05:04:48,400
have --

7508
05:04:49,400 --> 05:04:50,400
their assets on

7509
05:04:50,400 --> 05:04:52,400
tenant improvements but the ownership

7510
05:04:52,400 --> 05:04:53,400
of improvements is

7511
05:04:53,400 --> 05:04:55,400
operational, not financial security.

7512
05:04:55,400 --> 05:04:58,400
so they have no free and clear liquid assets.

7513
05:04:58,400 --> 05:05:00,400
so to have

7514
05:05:01,400 --> 05:05:03,400
them --to have the main

7515
05:05:03,400 --> 05:05:04,400
organization having no assets to pay

7516
05:05:04,400 --> 05:05:06,400
us back,

7517
05:05:07,400 --> 05:05:09,400
the backstop

7518
05:05:09,400 --> 05:05:13,400
organization having no clear financial security or

7519
05:05:13,400 --> 05:05:15,400
assets --I don't

7520
05:05:16,400 --> 05:05:17,400
know why we don't -- I mentioned

7521
05:05:17,400 --> 05:05:19,400
this last time. In fact, I think the

7522
05:05:19,400 --> 05:05:20,400
eight things I

7523
05:05:20,400 --> 05:05:22,400
mentioned, I didn't see any changes

7524
05:05:22,400 --> 05:05:25,400
in the contract. But if we had

7525
05:05:25,400 --> 05:05:27,400
a letter of credit or we tad

7526
05:05:27,400 --> 05:05:28,400
teamco, which we had on at least we

7527
05:05:28,400 --> 05:05:30,400
had

7528
05:05:31,400 --> 05:05:34,400
teamco, the parent company, on

7529
05:05:34,400 --> 05:05:37,400
the world cup agreement, they

7530
05:05:37,400 --> 05:05:39,400
have assets. But stadco does not and

7531
05:05:39,400 --> 05:05:40,400
the bay host committee does not. So

7532
05:05:40,400 --> 05:05:42,400
either we

7533
05:05:43,400 --> 05:05:46,400
need to add teamco there and lacking

7534
05:05:46,400 --> 05:05:49,400
teamco, I can see why

7535
05:05:49,400 --> 05:05:50,400
they don't want

7536
05:05:50,400 --> 05:05:51,400
to backstop this. They don't want to

7537
05:05:51,400 --> 05:05:55,400
backstop this for a reason. At least

7538
05:05:55,400 --> 05:05:57,400
get a fully, you know --a

7539
05:05:57,400 --> 05:05:58,400
letter of credit. And if everybody

7540
05:05:58,400 --> 05:06:00,800
says for the full

7541
05:06:01,400 --> 05:06:03,400
amount of the expenses. If all these

7542
05:06:03,400 --> 05:06:04,400
groups say, yes, we're going to pay

7543
05:06:04,400 --> 05:06:06,400
you

7544
05:06:07,400 --> 05:06:08,400
back because city attorney

7545
05:06:08,400 --> 05:06:10,400
said they've always paid their bills,

7546
05:06:10,400 --> 05:06:12,400
that's fine. We don't

7547
05:06:12,400 --> 05:06:13,400
want to be the first time they don't.

7548
05:06:13,400 --> 05:06:15,800
if everybody gus what

7549
05:06:16,400 --> 05:06:19,400
they're doing, then letter of credit

7550
05:06:19,400 --> 05:06:21,400
will never be touched. So why didn't

7551
05:06:21,400 --> 05:06:24,400
we put that in there to protect the

7552
05:06:24,400 --> 05:06:28,400
city of santa clara? Because the way

7553
05:06:28,400 --> 05:06:30,400
it's written

7554
05:06:31,400 --> 05:06:32,400
now, there's --an assetless, that's not a word --

7555
05:06:32,400 --> 05:06:34,400
organizations.

7556
05:06:35,400 --> 05:06:40,200
I think those are my questions for now.

7557
05:06:43,400 --> 05:06:45,800
councilmember jain, you have

7558
05:06:46,400 --> 05:06:48,400
more questions?

7559
05:06:48,400 --> 05:06:52,000
>> I believe that recently there were

7560
05:06:52,400 --> 05:06:54,400
$200 million of stadium

7561
05:06:54,400 --> 05:06:55,400
improvements. Was that stadco? Or

7562
05:06:55,400 --> 05:06:58,400
teamco that paid the $200 million?

7563
05:06:58,400 --> 05:07:00,400
thank you.

7564
05:07:01,400 --> 05:07:04,400
>> that's it for the questions, city manager.

7565
05:07:04,400 --> 05:07:06,400
>> thank you, mayor.

7566
05:07:07,400 --> 05:07:09,400
and as a

7567
05:07:10,400 --> 05:07:11,400
reminder, you're sitting as both the

7568
05:07:11,400 --> 05:07:12,400
stadium authority

7569
05:07:12,400 --> 05:07:13,400
board and the city council for this

7570
05:07:13,400 --> 05:07:16,400
item. So a number of questions here.

7571
05:07:16,400 --> 05:07:18,400
I think the city attorney and I

7572
05:07:18,400 --> 05:07:19,400
will tag team them. I do think that

7573
05:07:19,400 --> 05:07:21,800
we also have a

7574
05:07:22,400 --> 05:07:23,400
representative from the 49ers back

7575
05:07:23,400 --> 05:07:24,400
in

7576
05:07:24,400 --> 05:07:25,400
support with some of your specific

7577
05:07:25,400 --> 05:07:27,400
questions around

7578
05:07:28,400 --> 05:07:30,400
teamco as well. Let's start with

7579
05:07:30,400 --> 05:07:31,400
councilmember kelly cox's question

7580
05:07:31,400 --> 05:07:33,400
around references

7581
05:07:34,400 --> 05:07:36,800
in the agreement to

7582
05:07:37,400 --> 05:07:39,400
overtime

7583
05:07:40,400 --> 05:07:41,400
costs for police officers and contrast

7584
05:07:41,400 --> 05:07:43,400
that to

7585
05:07:43,400 --> 05:07:44,400
how

7586
05:07:44,400 --> 05:07:48,000
it mention s firefighter overtime costs.

7587
05:07:49,400 --> 05:07:51,400
let

7588
05:07:53,400 --> 05:07:55,800
me first say that

7589
05:07:56,400 --> 05:07:58,400
no

7590
05:07:58,400 --> 05:07:59,400
matter what city employee is utilized,

7591
05:07:59,400 --> 05:08:00,400
if they

7592
05:08:00,400 --> 05:08:01,400
are providing direct services to the

7593
05:08:01,400 --> 05:08:02,400
event, they have to pay our costs

7594
05:08:02,400 --> 05:08:03,400
for

7595
05:08:03,400 --> 05:08:05,400
that employee, right? We know there

7596
05:08:05,400 --> 05:08:08,400
was a change to the

7597
05:08:08,400 --> 05:08:10,400
poamlu to represent

7598
05:08:11,400 --> 05:08:12,400
that going down to 1.5. We are

7599
05:08:12,400 --> 05:08:14,400
still actively in negotiations with

7600
05:08:14,400 --> 05:08:15,400
the fire union.

7601
05:08:15,400 --> 05:08:18,400
and so that is still double time.

7602
05:08:18,400 --> 05:08:20,400
if that changes, it will be reflected

7603
05:08:20,400 --> 05:08:22,400
on the invoice. So

7604
05:08:22,400 --> 05:08:26,400
we charge our approximateliy burdened rate based

7605
05:08:26,400 --> 05:08:28,400
on the

7606
05:08:29,400 --> 05:08:31,400
mlu in our

7607
05:08:32,400 --> 05:08:33,400
cost. And so

7608
05:08:33,400 --> 05:08:35,400
that is what will go on the invoice.

7609
05:08:35,400 --> 05:08:36,400
I think

7610
05:08:36,400 --> 05:08:38,400
specific to why there was a callout for

7611
05:08:38,400 --> 05:08:40,400
poa, it's

7612
05:08:40,400 --> 05:08:41,400
because during the process of these

7613
05:08:41,400 --> 05:08:43,400
negotiations, that

7614
05:08:44,400 --> 05:08:45,400
changed in the

7615
05:08:45,400 --> 05:08:47,400
poamlu happened, and there was a desire

7616
05:08:47,400 --> 05:08:48,400
to capture that within

7617
05:08:48,400 --> 05:08:50,400
the agreement. And I'm looking at

7618
05:08:50,400 --> 05:08:51,400
the city attorney --

7619
05:08:51,400 --> 05:08:53,400
>>

7620
05:08:53,400 --> 05:08:55,400
yeah, and I'll even read

7621
05:08:55,400 --> 05:08:56,400
the section. It talks about actual

7622
05:08:56,400 --> 05:08:57,400
event costs,

7623
05:08:57,400 --> 05:09:00,400
right, as a qualified event expense.

7624
05:09:00,400 --> 05:09:02,400
and this is in exhibit "a." and it

7625
05:09:02,400 --> 05:09:04,400
says, such expenses

7626
05:09:04,400 --> 05:09:06,800
shall include, without limitations,

7627
05:09:07,400 --> 05:09:10,400
city stadium authority --city/stadium

7628
05:09:11,400 --> 05:09:13,400
authority staff costs billed

7629
05:09:13,400 --> 05:09:14,400
at city standard cowl last recovery

7630
05:09:14,400 --> 05:09:16,400
rate for

7631
05:09:17,400 --> 05:09:19,400
nfl events. Then it just describes

7632
05:09:19,400 --> 05:09:20,400
that as currently 1. 5 times city

7633
05:09:20,400 --> 05:09:22,400
standard full

7634
05:09:22,400 --> 05:09:24,400
cost recovery rates for police officers

7635
05:09:24,400 --> 05:09:26,400
and under assess with fire personnel.

7636
05:09:26,400 --> 05:09:29,400
how that will work is,

7637
05:09:29,400 --> 05:09:31,400
whatever it ends up being in the final

7638
05:09:31,400 --> 05:09:32,400
negotiations with fire personnel will be what

7639
05:09:32,400 --> 05:09:34,400
the cost is.

7640
05:09:34,400 --> 05:09:35,400
because that will be whatever the

7641
05:09:35,400 --> 05:09:36,400
city's

7642
05:09:36,400 --> 05:09:38,400
standard cost is at the time. And

7643
05:09:38,400 --> 05:09:39,400
so I'm comfortable that

7644
05:09:39,400 --> 05:09:41,400
that's covered in the language as it's drafted.

7645
05:09:41,400 --> 05:09:43,400
>> okay.

7646
05:09:44,400 --> 05:09:46,400
the next

7647
05:09:46,400 --> 05:09:47,400
committee was around pre-event expenses.

7648
05:09:47,400 --> 05:09:48,400
for

7649
05:09:48,400 --> 05:09:50,400
the super bowl there's roughly $124,000

7650
05:09:50,400 --> 05:09:52,400
in the

7651
05:09:52,400 --> 05:09:53,400
agreement. Here and similar to the

7652
05:09:53,400 --> 05:09:55,400
clauseclause

7653
05:09:55,400 --> 05:09:56,400
the fifa assignment and assumption

7654
05:09:56,400 --> 05:09:58,400
called for what

7655
05:09:58,400 --> 05:09:59,400
we referred to as pre-event expenses

7656
05:09:59,400 --> 05:10:01,400
to

7657
05:10:02,400 --> 05:10:04,400
be paid for if there are

7658
05:10:04,400 --> 05:10:05,400
third party funds. Let me further

7659
05:10:05,400 --> 05:10:07,400
articulate

7660
05:10:07,400 --> 05:10:08,400
there are really three buckets of

7661
05:10:08,400 --> 05:10:09,400
city

7662
05:10:09,400 --> 05:10:13,600
costs that we talk about, so there

7663
05:10:14,400 --> 05:10:16,400
are pre-event or

7664
05:10:17,400 --> 05:10:19,400
premapping

7665
05:10:20,400 --> 05:10:21,400
--

7666
05:10:21,400 --> 05:10:23,400
preplanning extensions. Those are

7667
05:10:23,400 --> 05:10:25,400
meant to represent expenses that were

7668
05:10:25,400 --> 05:10:26,400
incurred before the city had an interim

7669
05:10:26,400 --> 05:10:27,400
funding agreemen.

7670
05:10:27,400 --> 05:10:29,400
then there are costs that are captured

7671
05:10:29,400 --> 05:10:31,400
in the interim funding

7672
05:10:31,400 --> 05:10:32,400
agreement, then there will be costs

7673
05:10:32,400 --> 05:10:34,400
captured

7674
05:10:34,400 --> 05:10:35,400
under the permanent agreement called the

7675
05:10:35,400 --> 05:10:37,400
league event agreement.

7676
05:10:41,400 --> 05:10:43,800
the precosts, very, very

7677
05:10:44,400 --> 05:10:47,400
similar to what happened in 2016.

7678
05:10:56,400 --> 05:10:58,800
when it was first

7679
05:10:59,400 --> 05:11:01,400
announce d, hooray, staff set

7680
05:11:01,400 --> 05:11:04,400
about immediately looking at documents,

7681
05:11:04,400 --> 05:11:05,400
preparing for negotiations, doing a

7682
05:11:05,400 --> 05:11:07,400
look-back

7683
05:11:07,400 --> 05:11:08,400
to locate super bowl 50 documents.

7684
05:11:08,400 --> 05:11:09,400
I remember stacks

7685
05:11:09,400 --> 05:11:11,400
of binders that we sent staff out

7686
05:11:11,400 --> 05:11:13,400
to gather to say, okay,

7687
05:11:13,400 --> 05:11:14,400
we're going to sit down, start negotiating

7688
05:11:14,400 --> 05:11:16,400
costs to get

7689
05:11:17,400 --> 05:11:19,400
our costs

7690
05:11:19,400 --> 05:11:22,400
covered. What happened back then?

7691
05:11:23,400 --> 05:11:25,400
we looked

7692
05:11:26,400 --> 05:11:28,400
up

7693
05:11:28,400 --> 05:11:29,400
old staff charts. How people were

7694
05:11:29,400 --> 05:11:31,400
organized. And that

7695
05:11:31,400 --> 05:11:32,400
was before we had an interim funding

7696
05:11:32,400 --> 05:11:34,400
agreement. And I

7697
05:11:34,400 --> 05:11:36,400
think it was a little over a year

7698
05:11:36,400 --> 05:11:38,400
ago when the bay area host committee

7699
05:11:38,400 --> 05:11:40,800
came. They said, really,

7700
05:11:41,400 --> 05:11:42,400
we are unable to reimburse or rewent

7701
05:11:42,400 --> 05:11:44,400
agree to reimburse any costs before

7702
05:11:44,400 --> 05:11:46,400
you sat down and talked to

7703
05:11:46,400 --> 05:11:47,400
us, right? So in order to prepare

7704
05:11:47,400 --> 05:11:49,400
for

7705
05:11:50,400 --> 05:11:53,400
those initial negotiations, we --

7706
05:11:53,400 --> 05:11:55,400
there was a series of meetings.

7707
05:11:55,400 --> 05:11:56,400
and so that cost will be be I think

7708
05:11:56,400 --> 05:11:58,400
a lot of

7709
05:11:58,400 --> 05:11:59,400
it has already been billed to the

7710
05:11:59,400 --> 05:12:01,400
stadium authority. But

7711
05:12:02,400 --> 05:12:05,400
if, in fact, there is federal,

7712
05:12:05,400 --> 05:12:06,400
date, or other funds that can reimburse

7713
05:12:06,400 --> 05:12:08,400
tad,

7714
05:12:08,400 --> 05:12:09,400
we want it to include the ability

7715
05:12:09,400 --> 05:12:11,400
to

7716
05:12:11,400 --> 05:12:13,400
reimburse that. Exactly as this city

7717
05:12:13,400 --> 05:12:16,400
did when you prepared for 2016. You

7718
05:12:16,400 --> 05:12:17,400
didn't receive ream fwursment to negotiate

7719
05:12:17,400 --> 05:12:19,400
those agreements and

7720
05:12:19,400 --> 05:12:20,400
all costs the city occurred when you

7721
05:12:20,400 --> 05:12:22,400
had the bid and

7722
05:12:22,400 --> 05:12:23,400
sit down and had meetings to talk

7723
05:12:23,400 --> 05:12:25,400
about do we

7724
05:12:25,400 --> 05:12:26,400
want to host the super bowl? You negotiated

7725
05:12:26,400 --> 05:12:28,400
all of those

7726
05:12:28,400 --> 05:12:29,400
agreements in advance. Those costs

7727
05:12:29,400 --> 05:12:31,400
weren't reimbursed,

7728
05:12:32,400 --> 05:12:34,400
right? And so oftentimes, you --you're

7729
05:12:34,400 --> 05:12:35,400
not successful in getting a party

7730
05:12:35,400 --> 05:12:37,400
to pay you for the

7731
05:12:37,400 --> 05:12:38,400
cost to prepare to negotiate with

7732
05:12:38,400 --> 05:12:40,800
them. And so that's

7733
05:12:41,400 --> 05:12:42,400
essentially where we are here. Knowing

7734
05:12:42,400 --> 05:12:44,400
that

7735
05:12:44,400 --> 05:12:45,400
those costs will have to be borne

7736
05:12:45,400 --> 05:12:47,400
by

7737
05:12:47,400 --> 05:12:48,400
the stadium. There are significant

7738
05:12:48,400 --> 05:12:50,400
thunds in the stadium authority to

7739
05:12:50,400 --> 05:12:52,400
cover those

7740
05:12:52,400 --> 05:12:53,400
preagreement expenses. But that's

7741
05:12:53,400 --> 05:12:55,800
really what those costs

7742
05:12:56,400 --> 05:12:58,400
are. The next question was

7743
05:12:58,400 --> 05:12:59,400
in regard to parking fees and the

7744
05:12:59,400 --> 05:13:01,400
language attributable to the games.

7745
05:13:01,400 --> 05:13:02,400
I know that that is a legally term

7746
05:13:02,400 --> 05:13:04,400
of art, so I'll

7747
05:13:04,400 --> 05:13:05,400
toss that to our attorney.

7748
05:13:05,400 --> 05:13:06,400
>> yeah,

7749
05:13:06,400 --> 05:13:08,400
legal term of art in

7750
05:13:08,400 --> 05:13:09,400
some sense. But practical

7751
05:13:09,400 --> 05:13:11,400
reality in another. Me understanding

7752
05:13:11,400 --> 05:13:14,400
of how that works and others here who

7753
05:13:14,400 --> 05:13:17,400
have dealt with that more,

7754
05:13:17,400 --> 05:13:19,400
maybe even christine

7755
05:13:19,400 --> 05:13:20,400
jeung can perhaps explain it better.

7756
05:13:20,400 --> 05:13:22,400
but there

7757
05:13:23,400 --> 05:13:26,400
are arrangements with off-site parking

7758
05:13:26,400 --> 05:13:28,400
providers

7759
05:13:29,400 --> 05:13:31,400
, really only get triggered

7760
05:13:31,400 --> 05:13:32,400
when there is the mass infusion of

7761
05:13:32,400 --> 05:13:35,400
people coming to the game.

7762
05:13:35,400 --> 05:13:38,400
and so the expectation is that there

7763
05:13:38,400 --> 05:13:39,400
only would be parking permit fees

7764
05:13:39,400 --> 05:13:41,400
in

7765
05:13:41,400 --> 05:13:44,400
connection with the game. And so that

7766
05:13:44,400 --> 05:13:47,400
narrow definition I think described

7767
05:13:47,400 --> 05:13:51,400
when, in fact, those fees are likely

7768
05:13:51,400 --> 05:13:52,400
to be received.

7769
05:13:52,400 --> 05:13:54,400
>> okay.

7770
05:13:56,400 --> 05:13:59,400
councilmember cox also mentioned allowable

7771
05:13:59,400 --> 05:14:02,400
expenses and how areare those defined?

7772
05:14:02,400 --> 05:14:03,400
I think you used the example of beauty

7773
05:14:03,400 --> 05:14:05,400
case.

7774
05:14:06,400 --> 05:14:09,400
this is a great example, that is

7775
05:14:09,400 --> 05:14:11,400
not an event

7776
05:14:11,400 --> 05:14:13,400
cost, decided to undertaika knowing throngs

7777
05:14:13,400 --> 05:14:15,400
people would be here and we wanted to

7778
05:14:15,400 --> 05:14:17,400
beautify

7779
05:14:18,400 --> 05:14:19,400
certain

7780
05:14:19,400 --> 05:14:21,400
corridors, similar to the great america

7781
05:14:21,400 --> 05:14:22,400
mission boulevard

7782
05:14:22,400 --> 05:14:24,400
signal light improvements. That's not

7783
05:14:24,400 --> 05:14:25,400
able to this event.

7784
05:14:25,400 --> 05:14:27,400
certainly the event will benefit from

7785
05:14:27,400 --> 05:14:30,400
it. There are a number

7786
05:14:30,400 --> 05:14:33,400
of things that the city has ton

7787
05:14:33,400 --> 05:14:35,400
that's not event-related expenses

7788
05:14:35,400 --> 05:14:36,400
and so one of the things that the

7789
05:14:36,400 --> 05:14:38,400
council approved

7790
05:14:39,400 --> 05:14:41,400
is

7791
05:14:42,400 --> 05:14:44,400
improvements in the convention

7792
05:14:44,400 --> 05:14:45,400
center, knowing we wanted to put our

7793
05:14:45,400 --> 05:14:46,400
best foot

7794
05:14:46,400 --> 05:14:48,400
forward, knowing that we had improvements

7795
05:14:48,400 --> 05:14:50,400
that we needed to do. So some

7796
05:14:50,400 --> 05:14:51,400
of those we advanced. You do that

7797
05:14:51,400 --> 05:14:53,800
approximately two years ago

7798
05:14:54,400 --> 05:14:56,800
with the stadium, right?

7799
05:14:57,400 --> 05:15:00,400
we had a space that the

7800
05:15:00,400 --> 05:15:02,400
stadium

7801
05:15:02,400 --> 05:15:03,400
authority is responsible for upkeep

7802
05:15:03,400 --> 05:15:05,400
on.

7803
05:15:06,400 --> 05:15:07,400
furniture was ten years old,

7804
05:15:07,400 --> 05:15:08,400
let's improve the furniture. What

7805
05:15:08,400 --> 05:15:11,400
we sat down no negotiate and what

7806
05:15:11,400 --> 05:15:12,400
the agreement to reimburse is for,

7807
05:15:12,400 --> 05:15:14,400
event-specific

7808
05:15:15,400 --> 05:15:17,400
expenses including planning event

7809
05:15:17,400 --> 05:15:18,400
and post-event expenses. City attorney,

7810
05:15:18,400 --> 05:15:20,400
anything that you would

7811
05:15:20,400 --> 05:15:21,400
like to add? We'll take it, okay.

7812
05:15:21,400 --> 05:15:23,400
and

7813
05:15:23,400 --> 05:15:24,400
then the next question was around

7814
05:15:24,400 --> 05:15:26,800
the special event zone.

7815
05:15:27,400 --> 05:15:28,400
and the language there.

7816
05:15:28,400 --> 05:15:30,400
I'll toss that to the city attorney.

7817
05:15:30,400 --> 05:15:32,400
>> thank you.

7818
05:15:38,400 --> 05:15:39,400
ideally, we would have presented the

7819
05:15:39,400 --> 05:15:41,400
current draft so you could

7820
05:15:41,400 --> 05:15:42,400
get a better feel for what that looked like.

7821
05:15:42,400 --> 05:15:44,800
really, I think only

7822
05:15:45,400 --> 05:15:46,400
the mayor at this

7823
05:15:46,400 --> 05:15:47,400
point was on the council at the time

7824
05:15:47,400 --> 05:15:51,600
that original special event zone was approved.

7825
05:15:57,400 --> 05:15:58,400
maybe prumt business, oh, you

7826
05:15:58,400 --> 05:16:00,400
know the special event zone, with

7827
05:16:00,400 --> 05:16:03,400
six of you not having acted on

7828
05:16:03,400 --> 05:16:04,400
that before. It was not far

7829
05:16:04,400 --> 05:16:06,400
enough long for me really to daylight

7830
05:16:06,400 --> 05:16:07,400
it. We didn't want a

7831
05:16:07,400 --> 05:16:09,400
premature provision. And in fact,

7832
05:16:09,400 --> 05:16:10,400
you're not approving the special

7833
05:16:10,400 --> 05:16:12,400
event zone tonight. That does have

7834
05:16:12,400 --> 05:16:15,400
to go through a process, and it's going

7835
05:16:15,400 --> 05:16:17,800
to come back to

7836
05:16:18,400 --> 05:16:20,400
you.

7837
05:16:21,400 --> 05:16:24,400
but it is designed to get at public

7838
05:16:24,400 --> 05:16:25,400
safety and welfare, aesthetic

7839
05:16:25,400 --> 05:16:27,400
issues in and around the stadium.

7840
05:16:27,400 --> 05:16:29,400
it's

7841
05:16:30,400 --> 05:16:32,400
going to define

7842
05:16:33,400 --> 05:16:35,400
the special event zone time period.

7843
05:16:35,400 --> 05:16:36,400
that will be different for the special

7844
05:16:36,400 --> 05:16:38,400
event. Super bowl, seven or

7845
05:16:38,400 --> 05:16:39,400
eight days when there's super bowl

7846
05:16:39,400 --> 05:16:40,400
activities.

7847
05:16:40,400 --> 05:16:42,400
february 1 through probably a couple

7848
05:16:42,400 --> 05:16:44,400
days

7849
05:16:45,400 --> 05:16:46,400
after the super bowl.

7850
05:16:46,400 --> 05:16:48,400
for fifa, it's going to be a longer period of

7851
05:16:48,400 --> 05:16:50,400
time. That's over the course of

7852
05:16:50,400 --> 05:16:51,400
almost three weeks. You know, a month.

7853
05:16:51,400 --> 05:16:53,400
so it's

7854
05:16:53,400 --> 05:16:54,400
going to be the time period identified

7855
05:16:54,400 --> 05:16:56,400
there,

7856
05:16:57,400 --> 05:17:00,400
maybe a week before to a

7857
05:17:00,400 --> 05:17:01,400
few days after. It's going to

7858
05:17:01,400 --> 05:17:03,400
define what the special event zone

7859
05:17:03,400 --> 05:17:05,400
area is. It's intended to get

7860
05:17:05,400 --> 05:17:08,400
at the sensitive areas immediately

7861
05:17:09,400 --> 05:17:11,400
around and

7862
05:17:12,400 --> 05:17:13,400
potentially with some --beyond the

7863
05:17:13,400 --> 05:17:14,400
stadium where there's expected to

7864
05:17:14,400 --> 05:17:15,400
be a lot of activity. There would

7865
05:17:15,400 --> 05:17:17,400
be concerns with

7866
05:17:18,400 --> 05:17:19,400
too much activity of a variety of

7867
05:17:19,400 --> 05:17:21,400
different

7868
05:17:21,400 --> 05:17:24,400
kinds without that being heavily regulated

7869
05:17:24,400 --> 05:17:27,400
or permitted. For example, peddle

7870
05:17:27,400 --> 05:17:29,400
peddlers. There may be

7871
05:17:29,400 --> 05:17:30,400
pauses, there may be prohibitions

7872
05:17:30,400 --> 05:17:32,400
on certain types

7873
05:17:33,400 --> 05:17:35,400
of activities during that time

7874
05:17:35,400 --> 05:17:36,400
period within that particular event

7875
05:17:36,400 --> 05:17:39,400
zone in order to avoid

7876
05:17:39,400 --> 05:17:41,400
there being activity that could be

7877
05:17:41,400 --> 05:17:42,400
dangerous and negatively impactful

7878
05:17:42,400 --> 05:17:45,400
to the kinds of operations

7879
05:17:45,400 --> 05:17:47,400
that are going on there that we

7880
05:17:47,400 --> 05:17:48,400
want to have going on there that are

7881
05:17:48,400 --> 05:17:50,400
fully regulated and

7882
05:17:50,400 --> 05:17:51,400
authorized. And so we'll try to get

7883
05:17:51,400 --> 05:17:52,400
that back to all of you sooner rather

7884
05:17:52,400 --> 05:17:54,400
than later.

7885
05:17:57,400 --> 05:17:59,800
there's certain kind of

7886
05:18:00,400 --> 05:18:01,400
standards that the nfl is looking

7887
05:18:01,400 --> 05:18:02,400
for, you

7888
05:18:02,400 --> 05:18:03,400
know in that. Because they have an

7889
05:18:03,400 --> 05:18:05,800
interest in that as

7890
05:18:06,400 --> 05:18:07,400
well. There's certain legal limitations on our

7891
05:18:07,400 --> 05:18:08,400
ability to

7892
05:18:08,400 --> 05:18:09,400
do that, both under state law, as

7893
05:18:09,400 --> 05:18:11,400
you know, with respect

7894
05:18:11,400 --> 05:18:12,400
to peddlers, because we had to be

7895
05:18:12,400 --> 05:18:14,400
very careful with how

7896
05:18:14,400 --> 05:18:15,400
we drafted that ordinance. There's first

7897
05:18:15,400 --> 05:18:17,400
amendment provisions that

7898
05:18:18,400 --> 05:18:21,400
event us from limiting content of

7899
05:18:21,400 --> 05:18:23,400
the kinds

7900
05:18:23,400 --> 05:18:24,400
of advertising that is done within

7901
05:18:24,400 --> 05:18:27,400
a particular area. But we're

7902
05:18:27,400 --> 05:18:28,400
working on that and are going to try to

7903
05:18:28,400 --> 05:18:29,400
get that in

7904
05:18:29,400 --> 05:18:30,400
front of you as soon as possible.

7905
05:18:30,400 --> 05:18:32,800
there may be unique

7906
05:18:33,400 --> 05:18:34,400
carve-outs for circumstances of

7907
05:18:34,400 --> 05:18:36,400
thupgs that we want to encourage and

7908
05:18:36,400 --> 05:18:38,400
allow. There could

7909
05:18:38,400 --> 05:18:39,400
be a back and forth process before

7910
05:18:39,400 --> 05:18:41,400
it's finally approved.

7911
05:18:42,400 --> 05:18:43,400
I'm looking at you but try to talk

7912
05:18:43,400 --> 05:18:44,400
into my

7913
05:18:44,400 --> 05:18:45,400
microphone at the same time.

7914
05:18:45,400 --> 05:18:46,400
>> I'll just

7915
05:18:46,400 --> 05:18:47,400
say it.

7916
05:18:47,400 --> 05:18:48,400
the city and on our public safety

7917
05:18:48,400 --> 05:18:50,400
departments are very much

7918
05:18:50,400 --> 05:18:51,400
interested in a special event zone.

7919
05:18:51,400 --> 05:18:53,400
and there's mutual interest

7920
05:18:53,400 --> 05:18:54,400
with all parties to have a special

7921
05:18:54,400 --> 05:18:56,400
event zone.

7922
05:18:58,400 --> 05:18:59,400
the next question was

7923
05:18:59,400 --> 05:19:01,400
related to the provisions around advance of

7924
05:19:01,400 --> 05:19:03,400
50% of

7925
05:19:04,400 --> 05:19:05,400
the then

7926
05:19:05,400 --> 05:19:09,400
due cost to be paid by december 25th.

7927
05:19:09,400 --> 05:19:10,400
there were a number of questions related

7928
05:19:10,400 --> 05:19:12,400
to

7929
05:19:12,400 --> 05:19:13,400
that. So we'll just combine a few

7930
05:19:13,400 --> 05:19:15,400
of them.

7931
05:19:16,400 --> 05:19:19,400
one, I know there was a question

7932
05:19:19,400 --> 05:19:21,400
from

7933
05:19:22,400 --> 05:19:23,400
councilmember suds.

7934
05:19:23,400 --> 05:19:27,000
councilmember chahal, you were spot on.

7935
05:19:28,400 --> 05:19:29,400
the 50% of 5. X million

7936
05:19:29,400 --> 05:19:31,400
is the amount that would be due at that

7937
05:19:31,400 --> 05:19:33,400
point because we will already

7938
05:19:33,400 --> 05:19:35,400
have been paid the planning costs, and those are

7939
05:19:35,400 --> 05:19:37,400
being paid on a per-invoice basis.

7940
05:19:37,400 --> 05:19:39,400
it's 50% of the

7941
05:19:40,400 --> 05:19:43,400
remaining amount which is 5. X, I'm

7942
05:19:43,400 --> 05:19:46,400
blanking on the number, but

7943
05:19:46,400 --> 05:19:48,400
that's --5.2.

7944
05:19:49,400 --> 05:19:50,400
so that's why it's half of that.

7945
05:19:50,400 --> 05:19:51,400
>>

7946
05:19:51,400 --> 05:19:52,400
yeah, that was designed to give an

7947
05:19:52,400 --> 05:19:53,400
estimate, right? It is going to be what it is at

7948
05:19:53,400 --> 05:19:55,400
the time.

7949
05:19:58,400 --> 05:20:01,400
I mean, to get to

7950
05:20:01,400 --> 05:20:04,400
member cox's question, using the

7951
05:20:04,400 --> 05:20:07,400
november, there are two specific

7952
05:20:07,400 --> 05:20:08,400
time periods by which we're

7953
05:20:08,400 --> 05:20:10,400
providing updated cost estimates.

7954
05:20:10,400 --> 05:20:12,400
one is november 15th,

7955
05:20:12,400 --> 05:20:13,400
and I think the other was january

7956
05:20:13,400 --> 05:20:15,400
15th.

7957
05:20:15,400 --> 05:20:16,400
and you're right, the january 15th would

7958
05:20:16,400 --> 05:20:18,400
be

7959
05:20:19,400 --> 05:20:20,400
ideal. There potentially is a shift

7960
05:20:20,400 --> 05:20:21,400
in

7961
05:20:21,400 --> 05:20:22,400
costs between those time periods.

7962
05:20:22,400 --> 05:20:24,400
that was

7963
05:20:24,400 --> 05:20:25,400
a negotiated time period, because that

7964
05:20:25,400 --> 05:20:27,400
was the

7965
05:20:27,400 --> 05:20:32,200
the one before when that payment was due.

7966
05:20:33,400 --> 05:20:34,400
if, in fact, there are changes, either

7967
05:20:34,400 --> 05:20:35,400
up

7968
05:20:35,400 --> 05:20:37,400
or down between that period of time,

7969
05:20:37,400 --> 05:20:39,400
you're right, the

7970
05:20:39,400 --> 05:20:41,800
50% wouldn't perfectly capture that.

7971
05:20:42,400 --> 05:20:43,400
so that's how the term was negotiated,

7972
05:20:43,400 --> 05:20:45,400
to use

7973
05:20:46,400 --> 05:20:47,400
the actual most recent updated

7974
05:20:47,400 --> 05:20:49,400
event costs that need to be submitted.

7975
05:20:49,400 --> 05:20:51,400
in this case, it's the november

7976
05:20:51,400 --> 05:20:52,400
15th one.

7977
05:20:52,400 --> 05:20:53,400
>> I will add that there's

7978
05:20:53,400 --> 05:20:54,400
another

7979
05:20:54,400 --> 05:20:55,400
provision in the agreement where we

7980
05:20:55,400 --> 05:20:56,400
need to notify bay area host

7981
05:20:56,400 --> 05:20:58,400
committee any time there's a potential

7982
05:20:58,400 --> 05:21:00,400
increase in costs more than

7983
05:21:00,400 --> 05:21:01,400
5%. And so that is a trigger. If we

7984
05:21:01,400 --> 05:21:03,400
hit

7985
05:21:03,400 --> 05:21:04,400
that trigger before the december 25th,

7986
05:21:04,400 --> 05:21:06,400
irrespective

7987
05:21:06,400 --> 05:21:07,400
of that november 15th and january

7988
05:21:07,400 --> 05:21:09,400
15th date, we will do

7989
05:21:09,400 --> 05:21:10,400
that. We've actually been living by

7990
05:21:10,400 --> 05:21:12,400
that provision even though

7991
05:21:12,400 --> 05:21:13,400
the agreement hasn't been in effect.

7992
05:21:13,400 --> 05:21:15,400
so for example,

7993
05:21:16,400 --> 05:21:17,400
as you have approved labor

7994
05:21:17,400 --> 05:21:18,400
agreement changes and compensation

7995
05:21:18,400 --> 05:21:20,400
changes for our employees, we've had

7996
05:21:20,400 --> 05:21:22,400
those discussions with the parties

7997
05:21:22,400 --> 05:21:23,400
and have updated costs on

7998
05:21:23,400 --> 05:21:25,400
a more regular basis, and that process

7999
05:21:25,400 --> 05:21:27,400
will continue.

8000
05:21:31,400 --> 05:21:32,400
there was a question

8001
05:21:32,400 --> 05:21:34,400
from councilmember cox around the

8002
05:21:34,400 --> 05:21:37,400
backstop and stadco, and that

8003
05:21:37,400 --> 05:21:39,400
was repeated by

8004
05:21:40,400 --> 05:21:43,400
other councilmembers. So I think the

8005
05:21:43,400 --> 05:21:46,400
best way to start that response

8006
05:21:46,400 --> 05:21:49,400
is to go to jihad

8007
05:21:49,400 --> 05:21:52,400
beechman, who's on from the

8008
05:21:52,400 --> 05:21:54,400
49ers executive vice president and

8009
05:21:54,400 --> 05:21:55,400
general counsel. City clerk, is mr.

8010
05:21:55,400 --> 05:21:57,400
beechman

8011
05:21:57,400 --> 05:21:58,400
on line? So mr. Beechman, will you --

8012
05:21:58,400 --> 05:22:00,400
I know

8013
05:22:01,400 --> 05:22:03,400
you've been listening did the conversation.

8014
05:22:03,400 --> 05:22:04,400
will you expound upon that point and then we will take from it

8015
05:22:04,400 --> 05:22:06,400
there?

8016
05:22:07,400 --> 05:22:09,400
>>

8017
05:22:09,400 --> 05:22:10,400
yep, thanks, everyone. I appreciate

8018
05:22:10,400 --> 05:22:12,400
you guys allowing

8019
05:22:12,400 --> 05:22:13,400
me to speak today. Thank you, board,

8020
05:22:13,400 --> 05:22:15,400
for

8021
05:22:15,400 --> 05:22:18,400
considering this one. You know, we

8022
05:22:18,400 --> 05:22:19,400
certainly as an organization appreciate

8023
05:22:19,400 --> 05:22:21,400
that the city

8024
05:22:22,400 --> 05:22:23,400
absolutely needs to have its costs

8025
05:22:23,400 --> 05:22:25,400
reimbursed.

8026
05:22:25,400 --> 05:22:27,400
that's something that we've understood

8027
05:22:27,400 --> 05:22:28,400
have appreciated since the opening

8028
05:22:28,400 --> 05:22:30,400
of the

8029
05:22:30,400 --> 05:22:31,400
building. And that's something that

8030
05:22:31,400 --> 05:22:33,800
it's not just the

8031
05:22:34,400 --> 05:22:36,400
city, but it's also the

8032
05:22:36,400 --> 05:22:37,400
lenders who put up the significant

8033
05:22:37,400 --> 05:22:39,400
dollars to actually

8034
05:22:40,400 --> 05:22:43,400
build the building. And so

8035
05:22:43,400 --> 05:22:45,400
as part of building levi's

8036
05:22:45,400 --> 05:22:46,400
stadium, there was a very concrete

8037
05:22:46,400 --> 05:22:48,400
system that was put in

8038
05:22:48,400 --> 05:22:49,400
place to handle these types of expenses.

8039
05:22:49,400 --> 05:22:51,400
these

8040
05:22:52,400 --> 05:22:54,400
operating expenses, as well as

8041
05:22:54,400 --> 05:22:55,400
all of the other obligations of stadco, who

8042
05:22:55,400 --> 05:22:57,400
is the

8043
05:22:58,400 --> 05:22:59,400
tenant of the building. 49ers sc stadium

8044
05:22:59,400 --> 05:23:01,400
company,

8045
05:23:01,400 --> 05:23:03,400
llc. And that system was

8046
05:23:03,400 --> 05:23:04,400
put together by the lenders along with

8047
05:23:04,400 --> 05:23:06,400
the scsa and

8048
05:23:06,400 --> 05:23:07,400
along with the 49ers to ensure that

8049
05:23:07,400 --> 05:23:09,400
all

8050
05:23:09,400 --> 05:23:12,400
of these types of costs get reimbursed.

8051
05:23:12,400 --> 05:23:13,400
what you see through the first 11

8052
05:23:13,400 --> 05:23:16,400
years of the stadium, now

8053
05:23:16,400 --> 05:23:19,400
in our 12th year at the stadium,

8054
05:23:19,400 --> 05:23:20,400
this is system has absolutely worked.

8055
05:23:20,400 --> 05:23:22,400
it has led

8056
05:23:22,400 --> 05:23:24,400
to the payment of hundreds of

8057
05:23:24,400 --> 05:23:25,400
millions of dollars of obligations,

8058
05:23:25,400 --> 05:23:26,400
tens of millions of dollars to the

8059
05:23:26,400 --> 05:23:27,400
city

8060
05:23:27,400 --> 05:23:30,400
for public safety costs, hundreds

8061
05:23:30,400 --> 05:23:31,400
of millions of dollars to the santa

8062
05:23:31,400 --> 05:23:33,400
clara stadium authority in

8063
05:23:33,400 --> 05:23:34,400
rent, hundreds of millions of dollars

8064
05:23:34,400 --> 05:23:36,400
to lenders.

8065
05:23:37,400 --> 05:23:40,400
all through the financial plumbing that

8066
05:23:40,400 --> 05:23:41,400
was created in coordination with those

8067
05:23:41,400 --> 05:23:43,400
lenders.

8068
05:23:43,400 --> 05:23:44,400
so what that does is it has certain

8069
05:23:44,400 --> 05:23:46,400
revenues that

8070
05:23:46,400 --> 05:23:49,400
are coming from the stadium that

8071
05:23:49,400 --> 05:23:51,400
are better derived

8072
05:23:51,400 --> 05:23:52,400
from whether it's sweet revenues that

8073
05:23:52,400 --> 05:23:54,400
flow to stadco,

8074
05:23:54,400 --> 05:23:55,400
flow towards these expenses to ensure

8075
05:23:55,400 --> 05:23:57,400
that the people

8076
05:23:57,400 --> 05:23:58,400
who have, you know, helped make this

8077
05:23:58,400 --> 05:24:00,800
stadium possible, which includes

8078
05:24:01,400 --> 05:24:03,400
the lenders, the city, and the santa clara

8079
05:24:03,400 --> 05:24:04,400
authority, receive the amounts that are

8080
05:24:04,400 --> 05:24:06,400
owed by them.

8081
05:24:07,400 --> 05:24:08,400
and so this idea that

8082
05:24:08,400 --> 05:24:10,400
stadco possibly would not be able

8083
05:24:10,400 --> 05:24:12,400
to pay these

8084
05:24:13,400 --> 05:24:14,400
amounts, I think we have a fairly

8085
05:24:14,400 --> 05:24:15,400
strong

8086
05:24:15,400 --> 05:24:16,400
record of 11 years of performing and

8087
05:24:16,400 --> 05:24:18,400
paying those amounts.

8088
05:24:19,400 --> 05:24:20,400
and also a significant record to the tune of

8089
05:24:20,400 --> 05:24:21,400
hundreds

8090
05:24:21,400 --> 05:24:22,400
of millions of dollars in paying those

8091
05:24:22,400 --> 05:24:24,800
amounts. I did want

8092
05:24:25,400 --> 05:24:27,800
to addressaddress comment that

8093
05:24:28,400 --> 05:24:29,400
was mentioned about the primary asset

8094
05:24:29,400 --> 05:24:31,400
is already

8095
05:24:31,400 --> 05:24:33,400
city owned. Stadco

8096
05:24:33,400 --> 05:24:34,400
has invested hundreds of millions of

8097
05:24:34,400 --> 05:24:36,400
dollars back

8098
05:24:36,400 --> 05:24:37,400
into the stadium. It owns property

8099
05:24:37,400 --> 05:24:39,400
at

8100
05:24:39,400 --> 05:24:40,400
the stadium that is completely separate from

8101
05:24:40,400 --> 05:24:43,400
the property that is owned by the

8102
05:24:43,400 --> 05:24:46,400
city. And so this is the financial

8103
05:24:46,400 --> 05:24:48,400
structure that has been put in

8104
05:24:48,400 --> 05:24:50,400
place to exactly deal with this issue, with

8105
05:24:50,400 --> 05:24:52,400
these obligations that come

8106
05:24:52,400 --> 05:24:53,400
from public safety costs, obligations

8107
05:24:53,400 --> 05:24:54,400
that come from

8108
05:24:54,400 --> 05:24:56,400
the santa clara stadium authority

8109
05:24:56,400 --> 05:24:57,400
in the city.

8110
05:24:57,400 --> 05:24:59,400
they've been put in place for a reason,

8111
05:24:59,400 --> 05:25:00,400
and they've

8112
05:25:00,400 --> 05:25:02,400
been extremely successful in the time

8113
05:25:02,400 --> 05:25:03,400
we've been at the stadium.

8114
05:25:03,400 --> 05:25:05,400
while we certainly appreciate the

8115
05:25:05,400 --> 05:25:07,400
desire for the

8116
05:25:07,400 --> 05:25:09,400
city to have as many protections as

8117
05:25:09,400 --> 05:25:10,400
possible, you know, we believe that

8118
05:25:10,400 --> 05:25:13,400
the protections that were put in place

8119
05:25:13,400 --> 05:25:14,400
by the lenders and were agreed to

8120
05:25:14,400 --> 05:25:15,400
by

8121
05:25:15,400 --> 05:25:17,400
the santa clara stadium authority,

8122
05:25:17,400 --> 05:25:18,400
that those

8123
05:25:18,400 --> 05:25:20,400
have worked in all this particular

8124
05:25:20,400 --> 05:25:21,400
deal does

8125
05:25:21,400 --> 05:25:23,400
is actually add additional guardrails

8126
05:25:23,400 --> 05:25:24,400
to the protections that

8127
05:25:24,400 --> 05:25:26,400
have worked. By having that up-front

8128
05:25:26,400 --> 05:25:28,400
payment, which isn't something

8129
05:25:28,400 --> 05:25:29,400
that's required under the lease or

8130
05:25:29,400 --> 05:25:31,400
that has been put

8131
05:25:31,400 --> 05:25:34,400
in place for previous events other than

8132
05:25:34,400 --> 05:25:37,400
the super bowl that occurred for super bowl

8133
05:25:37,400 --> 05:25:38,400
50, but these additional guardrails,

8134
05:25:38,400 --> 05:25:39,400
these

8135
05:25:39,400 --> 05:25:41,800
additional timetables and interest

8136
05:25:42,400 --> 05:25:44,400
charges provide even more protection to

8137
05:25:44,400 --> 05:25:45,400
the city

8138
05:25:45,400 --> 05:25:47,400
and stadium authority that has ever

8139
05:25:47,400 --> 05:25:49,400
existed before.

8140
05:25:49,400 --> 05:25:52,400
so that's why we feel confident that this

8141
05:25:52,400 --> 05:25:53,400
is a deal that ensures that the city

8142
05:25:53,400 --> 05:25:54,400
will get its

8143
05:25:54,400 --> 05:25:59,400
amounts that it puts forward for this event refunded.

8144
05:25:59,400 --> 05:26:00,400
>> mr.

8145
05:26:00,400 --> 05:26:02,400
beechman, I know we've talked about

8146
05:26:02,400 --> 05:26:05,400
it before. Can you articulate

8147
05:26:05,400 --> 05:26:07,400
just for the board why

8148
05:26:07,400 --> 05:26:08,400
the 49ers were comfortable having

8149
05:26:08,400 --> 05:26:10,400
teamco

8150
05:26:11,400 --> 05:26:12,400
as the backstop for fifa and how that's

8151
05:26:12,400 --> 05:26:14,400
distinctly different for the super

8152
05:26:14,400 --> 05:26:16,400
bowl vis-a-vis

8153
05:26:16,400 --> 05:26:17,400
stadco?

8154
05:26:17,400 --> 05:26:18,400
>> yeah, so this is structured

8155
05:26:18,400 --> 05:26:19,400
in a

8156
05:26:19,400 --> 05:26:20,400
way where this is still remains an

8157
05:26:20,400 --> 05:26:22,800
nfl event, right? So

8158
05:26:23,400 --> 05:26:25,400
the fifa event is a

8159
05:26:25,400 --> 05:26:26,400
nonnfl event, and thus stadco did

8160
05:26:26,400 --> 05:26:27,400
not have

8161
05:26:27,400 --> 05:26:29,400
that contractual obligation under

8162
05:26:29,400 --> 05:26:31,400
the lease to reimburse for those

8163
05:26:31,400 --> 05:26:32,400
amounts. It wasn't in a position for

8164
05:26:32,400 --> 05:26:34,400
stadco

8165
05:26:35,400 --> 05:26:37,400
to be the one to

8166
05:26:37,400 --> 05:26:38,400
guarantee under that agreement. That's

8167
05:26:38,400 --> 05:26:40,400
where team

8168
05:26:40,400 --> 05:26:41,400
company did make that assertion. This, on the

8169
05:26:41,400 --> 05:26:43,400
record,

8170
05:26:44,400 --> 05:26:46,400
because it's an nfl event, is specifically

8171
05:26:46,400 --> 05:26:47,400
structure under the lease in our financial

8172
05:26:47,400 --> 05:26:49,400
documents with lenders

8173
05:26:49,400 --> 05:26:50,400
to pay these amounts unless stadco

8174
05:26:50,400 --> 05:26:51,400
can make

8175
05:26:51,400 --> 05:26:53,400
that commitment under this agreement.

8176
05:26:53,400 --> 05:26:55,400
so that's why in this case

8177
05:26:55,400 --> 05:26:56,400
it really is the appropriate party

8178
05:26:56,400 --> 05:26:58,400
to

8179
05:26:58,400 --> 05:26:59,400
be making that commitment to reimburse those

8180
05:26:59,400 --> 05:27:01,400
public safety

8181
05:27:01,400 --> 05:27:02,400
costs, because that's what was agreed

8182
05:27:02,400 --> 05:27:04,400
to by the lenders,

8183
05:27:04,400 --> 05:27:05,400
by the stadium authority, and by us

8184
05:27:05,400 --> 05:27:06,400
when the

8185
05:27:06,400 --> 05:27:11,200
financial plumbing for this entire system was created.

8186
05:27:11,400 --> 05:27:13,800
>> I have a question.

8187
05:27:17,400 --> 05:27:20,400
so the money that flows through

8188
05:27:20,400 --> 05:27:22,400
the stadium authorityauthority

8189
05:27:23,400 --> 05:27:25,800
through stadco, that --

8190
05:27:26,400 --> 05:27:28,400
that's all created by the

8191
05:27:28,400 --> 05:27:29,400
stadium authority. And the tenant

8192
05:27:29,400 --> 05:27:31,400
improvements

8193
05:27:31,400 --> 05:27:32,400
that you're talking about, the hundreds

8194
05:27:32,400 --> 05:27:35,400
of millions of dollars that you

8195
05:27:35,400 --> 05:27:37,400
put in there, they're

8196
05:27:37,400 --> 05:27:38,400
not real estate assets and they cannot

8197
05:27:38,400 --> 05:27:40,400
be easily

8198
05:27:40,400 --> 05:27:44,000
liquidated or pledged as general collateral.

8199
05:27:44,400 --> 05:27:46,400
so what

8200
05:27:46,400 --> 05:27:47,400
assets besides personal property assets

8201
05:27:47,400 --> 05:27:49,400
on the

8202
05:27:50,400 --> 05:27:53,400
stadium does stadco have to

8203
05:27:53,400 --> 05:27:54,400
backstop this in the event the bay

8204
05:27:54,400 --> 05:27:55,400
area

8205
05:27:55,400 --> 05:27:59,400
host committee is not able to pay the bills?

8206
05:27:59,400 --> 05:28:02,400
>> it would be an obligation

8207
05:28:02,400 --> 05:28:05,400
of stadco under our trust documents.

8208
05:28:05,400 --> 05:28:06,400
so, as I'm sure you're aware, there is

8209
05:28:06,400 --> 05:28:08,400
an

8210
05:28:08,400 --> 05:28:11,400
entire system that sits above stadco in

8211
05:28:11,400 --> 05:28:12,400
the stadium authority with trustings

8212
05:28:12,400 --> 05:28:13,400
and

8213
05:28:13,400 --> 05:28:14,400
subaccounts, trust accounts that hold

8214
05:28:14,400 --> 05:28:16,400
revenue. And

8215
05:28:17,400 --> 05:28:19,400
those dollars areare flows

8216
05:28:19,400 --> 05:28:20,400
through in order to pay down these

8217
05:28:20,400 --> 05:28:23,400
amounts. So while there are

8218
05:28:23,400 --> 05:28:25,400
additional assets that are owned

8219
05:28:25,400 --> 05:28:26,400
by stadco, separate property that's

8220
05:28:26,400 --> 05:28:28,400
at the

8221
05:28:28,400 --> 05:28:29,400
stadium, some of which is attached

8222
05:28:29,400 --> 05:28:31,800
to the stadium, some

8223
05:28:32,400 --> 05:28:34,400
of which is not attached to the

8224
05:28:34,400 --> 05:28:35,400
stadium. That's a secondary level

8225
05:28:35,400 --> 05:28:36,400
that

8226
05:28:36,400 --> 05:28:38,400
we don't believe that's even really

8227
05:28:38,400 --> 05:28:39,400
being contemplated here because of the

8228
05:28:39,400 --> 05:28:40,400
trust

8229
05:28:40,400 --> 05:28:41,400
account system that's been set up

8230
05:28:41,400 --> 05:28:43,400
where these

8231
05:28:43,400 --> 05:28:46,400
funds flow into these operating expense

8232
05:28:46,400 --> 05:28:47,400
accounts and are held specifically for

8233
05:28:47,400 --> 05:28:48,400
these purposes.

8234
05:28:48,400 --> 05:28:49,400
>> so

8235
05:28:49,400 --> 05:28:53,400
knowing that you say you have no issue or no problem

8236
05:28:53,400 --> 05:28:55,400
backstopping the potentially

8237
05:28:56,400 --> 05:28:59,400
millions of dollars for thethe super

8238
05:28:59,400 --> 05:29:00,400
bowl, is there any problem, then,

8239
05:29:00,400 --> 05:29:02,400
you putting

8240
05:29:02,400 --> 05:29:03,400
up some kind of security interest,

8241
05:29:03,400 --> 05:29:05,400
security document,

8242
05:29:05,400 --> 05:29:07,400
or a letter

8243
05:29:08,400 --> 05:29:10,400
of credit, to make sure that we can

8244
05:29:10,400 --> 05:29:14,400
show our public that this is a truly

8245
05:29:14,400 --> 05:29:16,400
backstopped

8246
05:29:16,400 --> 05:29:17,400
proposal and that if you don't need

8247
05:29:17,400 --> 05:29:19,400
it, you

8248
05:29:19,400 --> 05:29:20,400
just don't touch the letter of credit.

8249
05:29:20,400 --> 05:29:21,400
it's just not touched.

8250
05:29:21,400 --> 05:29:26,400
if you truly pay your bills. Do you have a problem with that?

8251
05:29:26,400 --> 05:29:28,400
>> what I would say is that's

8252
05:29:28,400 --> 05:29:29,400
not contemplated under the agreements

8253
05:29:29,400 --> 05:29:31,400
that we have. That

8254
05:29:31,400 --> 05:29:32,400
we've all, you know, reviewed and

8255
05:29:32,400 --> 05:29:34,800
agreed to as part

8256
05:29:35,400 --> 05:29:37,400
of this system of financial --of

8257
05:29:37,400 --> 05:29:38,400
financial plumbing is that the system

8258
05:29:38,400 --> 05:29:40,400
is set up

8259
05:29:40,400 --> 05:29:41,400
for this specific purpose, to pay

8260
05:29:41,400 --> 05:29:43,400
these expenses.

8261
05:29:43,400 --> 05:29:44,400
and having some separate guarantee --

8262
05:29:44,400 --> 05:29:47,400
it would be no different

8263
05:29:47,400 --> 05:29:48,400
than requiring that stadco put forward

8264
05:29:48,400 --> 05:29:50,400
a

8265
05:29:50,400 --> 05:29:51,400
separate guarantee for its own public

8266
05:29:51,400 --> 05:29:53,400
safety costs

8267
05:29:53,400 --> 05:29:55,400
for the events to

8268
05:29:55,400 --> 05:29:56,400
reason burse for those events. The

8269
05:29:56,400 --> 05:29:58,400
system is set up to

8270
05:29:58,400 --> 05:29:59,400
already pay those amounts directly

8271
05:29:59,400 --> 05:30:01,400
from these

8272
05:30:01,400 --> 05:30:02,400
subaccounts that get transferred over.

8273
05:30:02,400 --> 05:30:04,800
so the idea that

8274
05:30:05,400 --> 05:30:07,400
there would be a separate letter of

8275
05:30:07,400 --> 05:30:08,400
guarantee, stadco itself can't take

8276
05:30:08,400 --> 05:30:10,400
out additional --is not

8277
05:30:10,400 --> 05:30:11,400
intended to take out additional letters

8278
05:30:11,400 --> 05:30:13,400
of credit for this dollar

8279
05:30:13,400 --> 05:30:14,400
purpose, or just general debt outside

8280
05:30:14,400 --> 05:30:16,400
of the system that's been created

8281
05:30:16,400 --> 05:30:17,400
by the lenders. And that's a requirement of

8282
05:30:17,400 --> 05:30:19,400
the lenders.

8283
05:30:19,400 --> 05:30:20,400
they've created this system to be

8284
05:30:20,400 --> 05:30:22,400
a closed system

8285
05:30:23,400 --> 05:30:24,400
and only allow additional debt and

8286
05:30:24,400 --> 05:30:26,400
only

8287
05:30:27,400 --> 05:30:29,400
allow letters of credit and only

8288
05:30:29,400 --> 05:30:30,400
allow dollars to go out as they've

8289
05:30:30,400 --> 05:30:32,400
been prescribed

8290
05:30:32,400 --> 05:30:33,400
in the financial documents, the credit

8291
05:30:33,400 --> 05:30:34,400
agreements

8292
05:30:34,400 --> 05:30:36,400
and the trust agreements. So I get, you

8293
05:30:36,400 --> 05:30:38,400
know, the

8294
05:30:39,400 --> 05:30:40,400
desire to have this second

8295
05:30:40,400 --> 05:30:41,400
layer beyond what's already been created.

8296
05:30:41,400 --> 05:30:43,400
but what I'm trying to explain, and

8297
05:30:43,400 --> 05:30:45,400
it's possible that I'm not doing a

8298
05:30:45,400 --> 05:30:46,400
great job of explaining

8299
05:30:46,400 --> 05:30:48,400
that, this system was really created

8300
05:30:48,400 --> 05:30:50,800
for this express purpose.

8301
05:30:51,400 --> 05:30:53,400
and so

8302
05:30:53,400 --> 05:30:54,400
the protections are already --already

8303
05:30:54,400 --> 05:30:55,400
exist for the

8304
05:30:55,400 --> 05:30:57,400
city, already exist for the stadium

8305
05:30:57,400 --> 05:30:59,400
authority, and already exist for

8306
05:30:59,400 --> 05:31:02,400
the lenders to have all of these amounts

8307
05:31:02,400 --> 05:31:03,400
reimbursed. So it doesn't really contemplate

8308
05:31:03,400 --> 05:31:05,400
some additional

8309
05:31:05,400 --> 05:31:06,400
layer outside of what's already been created

8310
05:31:06,400 --> 05:31:08,400
for

8311
05:31:09,400 --> 05:31:10,400
there too be a letter

8312
05:31:10,400 --> 05:31:12,400
of credit outside of that. That's

8313
05:31:12,400 --> 05:31:13,400
not something

8314
05:31:13,400 --> 05:31:15,400
that's contemplated and nothing something

8315
05:31:15,400 --> 05:31:16,400
we're prepared to do and it's

8316
05:31:16,400 --> 05:31:18,400
not clear the lenders would allow

8317
05:31:18,400 --> 05:31:21,400
us to do that. What I'm trying

8318
05:31:21,400 --> 05:31:23,400
to impress upon both the council and

8319
05:31:23,400 --> 05:31:24,400
the public, there really is a system

8320
05:31:24,400 --> 05:31:26,400
that's already been

8321
05:31:27,400 --> 05:31:28,400
created for this express pump and

8322
05:31:28,400 --> 05:31:29,400
has worked to the tune of hundreds

8323
05:31:29,400 --> 05:31:32,400
of millions of dollars in the past.

8324
05:31:32,400 --> 05:31:33,400
>> we're negotiating a new agreement

8325
05:31:33,400 --> 05:31:35,400
now. The

8326
05:31:35,400 --> 05:31:36,400
system that's in place is for the

8327
05:31:36,400 --> 05:31:38,400
operations of the stadium. This is a

8328
05:31:38,400 --> 05:31:39,400
new agreement for super bowl. Are you

8329
05:31:39,400 --> 05:31:40,400
saying you can't get

8330
05:31:40,400 --> 05:31:45,400
a letter of credit because you don't have any assets?

8331
05:31:45,400 --> 05:31:47,400
>> we certainly have

8332
05:31:47,400 --> 05:31:49,400
assets. And so that's not the issue

8333
05:31:49,400 --> 05:31:51,400
here. There are simply restrictions

8334
05:31:51,400 --> 05:31:53,400
that are put in place

8335
05:31:53,400 --> 05:31:54,400
by the lenders and by the agreements

8336
05:31:54,400 --> 05:31:56,400
that we've

8337
05:31:56,400 --> 05:31:57,400
all signed that don't contemplate

8338
05:31:57,400 --> 05:31:59,400
what

8339
05:31:59,400 --> 05:32:00,400
is being suggested here today because

8340
05:32:00,400 --> 05:32:02,400
that protection

8341
05:32:02,400 --> 05:32:03,400
already exists within the system.

8342
05:32:03,400 --> 05:32:05,400
and

8343
05:32:05,400 --> 05:32:06,400
so if there was some other obligation that

8344
05:32:06,400 --> 05:32:08,400
was

8345
05:32:08,400 --> 05:32:09,400
being created outside of what's contemplated

8346
05:32:09,400 --> 05:32:11,400
in our lease

8347
05:32:11,400 --> 05:32:12,400
documents and our funding documents,

8348
05:32:12,400 --> 05:32:14,400
that would be something separate.

8349
05:32:14,400 --> 05:32:15,400
but this is something that actually

8350
05:32:15,400 --> 05:32:17,400
falls into

8351
05:32:17,400 --> 05:32:18,400
the fold of what already exists in

8352
05:32:18,400 --> 05:32:20,400
a

8353
05:32:20,400 --> 05:32:21,400
specifically condemn mated by those documents

8354
05:32:21,400 --> 05:32:23,400
themselves.

8355
05:32:23,400 --> 05:32:24,400
there are certainly assets that we

8356
05:32:24,400 --> 05:32:26,800
have. That's not a

8357
05:32:27,400 --> 05:32:28,400
concern that we have. There are certain

8358
05:32:28,400 --> 05:32:30,400
revenue streams that we have that

8359
05:32:30,400 --> 05:32:32,400
are specifically going to subaccounts

8360
05:32:32,400 --> 05:32:34,400
that are intended to pay the operating

8361
05:32:34,400 --> 05:32:36,400
expenses of stadco, of which this would

8362
05:32:36,400 --> 05:32:38,800
be one. And so

8363
05:32:39,400 --> 05:32:40,400
those are what we are saying have

8364
05:32:40,400 --> 05:32:42,400
existed and have not had any question

8365
05:32:42,400 --> 05:32:43,400
of them for

8366
05:32:43,400 --> 05:32:45,400
the first 11 years that we've been

8367
05:32:45,400 --> 05:32:47,400
at the stadium and have paid

8368
05:32:47,400 --> 05:32:48,400
all of the debts, even in times where

8369
05:32:48,400 --> 05:32:50,400
we've had

8370
05:32:50,400 --> 05:32:51,400
disagreements over what amounts should

8371
05:32:51,400 --> 05:32:53,400
have been owed.

8372
05:32:53,400 --> 05:32:56,400
we have made those payments in full.

8373
05:32:56,400 --> 05:32:57,400
I think we have a pretty good record

8374
05:32:57,400 --> 05:33:00,400
of doing that in past.

8375
05:33:00,400 --> 05:33:02,400
>> okay, so without a

8376
05:33:02,400 --> 05:33:03,400
letter of credit, there is no guarantee

8377
05:33:03,400 --> 05:33:06,400
for us that we will get

8378
05:33:06,400 --> 05:33:08,400
our

8379
05:33:09,400 --> 05:33:10,400
expenses

8380
05:33:10,400 --> 05:33:12,400
paid back if the bay area host committee

8381
05:33:12,400 --> 05:33:13,400
cannot pay them. And you're

8382
05:33:13,400 --> 05:33:15,400
saying based on what you've done in

8383
05:33:15,400 --> 05:33:16,400
the past for the

8384
05:33:16,400 --> 05:33:18,400
operations of the stadium, not for

8385
05:33:18,400 --> 05:33:19,400
a sub. This is different. That's

8386
05:33:19,400 --> 05:33:21,400
why it's called out differently in the stadium

8387
05:33:21,400 --> 05:33:23,400
agreement.

8388
05:33:24,400 --> 05:33:25,400
because it's a separate --it's a separate

8389
05:33:25,400 --> 05:33:27,400
event. It's not under the provisions of

8390
05:33:27,400 --> 05:33:29,400
the other agreement.

8391
05:33:32,400 --> 05:33:33,400
it's separate. That's what we're negotiating

8392
05:33:33,400 --> 05:33:34,400
right now. So --

8393
05:33:34,400 --> 05:33:36,400
>> I think --

8394
05:33:36,400 --> 05:33:38,400
well, I'll just note again that

8395
05:33:38,400 --> 05:33:39,400
the agreements contemplate stadco's

8396
05:33:39,400 --> 05:33:41,400
obligations for

8397
05:33:41,400 --> 05:33:45,000
all nfl games. It doesn't specifically

8398
05:33:45,400 --> 05:33:46,400
call out a separate --that there

8399
05:33:46,400 --> 05:33:48,400
wouldn't be the obligation for a super bowl.

8400
05:33:48,400 --> 05:33:50,400
and in fact,

8401
05:33:51,400 --> 05:33:52,400
the way that that lending documents

8402
05:33:52,400 --> 05:33:53,400
are

8403
05:33:53,400 --> 05:33:54,400
structured generally, nfl games fall

8404
05:33:54,400 --> 05:33:56,400
under

8405
05:33:57,400 --> 05:33:58,400
one umbrella and nonnfl events fall

8406
05:33:58,400 --> 05:33:59,400
under

8407
05:33:59,400 --> 05:34:00,400
a separate umbrella. Because this

8408
05:34:00,400 --> 05:34:02,400
event falls

8409
05:34:03,400 --> 05:34:04,400
under that nfl game umbrella, it is

8410
05:34:04,400 --> 05:34:05,400
covered

8411
05:34:05,400 --> 05:34:06,400
by that stadco obligation to reimburse for

8412
05:34:06,400 --> 05:34:08,400
those expenses.

8413
05:34:12,400 --> 05:34:15,400
>> we're going in circles. Thank you.

8414
05:34:15,400 --> 05:34:18,400
>> madam mayor, I'll point one thing

8415
05:34:18,400 --> 05:34:21,400
out about the super bowl 50

8416
05:34:21,400 --> 05:34:22,400
agreement. Doesn't answer your question

8417
05:34:22,400 --> 05:34:23,400
any

8418
05:34:23,400 --> 05:34:24,400
differently, but just for context.

8419
05:34:24,400 --> 05:34:26,400
the super bowl 50

8420
05:34:27,400 --> 05:34:29,800
agreement contemplated the parties

8421
05:34:30,400 --> 05:34:32,800
exploring obtain agler of

8422
05:34:33,400 --> 05:34:34,400
credit. But no one has any evidence that

8423
05:34:34,400 --> 05:34:35,400
was

8424
05:34:35,400 --> 05:34:36,400
ever done.

8425
05:34:36,400 --> 05:34:37,400
>> that's because we said,

8426
05:34:37,400 --> 05:34:39,400
you pay whatever

8427
05:34:39,400 --> 05:34:40,400
the costs are. And they paid whatever

8428
05:34:40,400 --> 05:34:41,400
we billed

8429
05:34:41,400 --> 05:34:45,400
them for the costs. This is different.

8430
05:34:45,400 --> 05:34:46,400
this is saying, they'll

8431
05:34:46,400 --> 05:34:47,400
pay approved, qualified costs --

8432
05:34:47,400 --> 05:34:48,400
>>

8433
05:34:48,400 --> 05:34:50,400
it's actually no the madam mayor.

8434
05:34:50,400 --> 05:34:51,400
this language is better than what

8435
05:34:51,400 --> 05:34:54,400
it said in super bowl 50. It's not --

8436
05:34:54,400 --> 05:34:56,400
it's not

8437
05:34:57,400 --> 05:34:58,400
the way your describe it.

8438
05:34:58,400 --> 05:34:59,400
>> and we

8439
05:34:59,400 --> 05:35:00,400
had issues with super bowl 50.

8440
05:35:00,400 --> 05:35:01,400
>>

8441
05:35:01,400 --> 05:35:02,400
I'm with you.

8442
05:35:02,400 --> 05:35:03,400
>>

8443
05:35:03,400 --> 05:35:04,400
we had huge issues. That's why our

8444
05:35:04,400 --> 05:35:05,400
mayor left, our

8445
05:35:05,400 --> 05:35:06,400
city manager left after, our city attorney

8446
05:35:06,400 --> 05:35:08,400
left after,

8447
05:35:08,400 --> 05:35:09,400
and our finance director left after.

8448
05:35:09,400 --> 05:35:11,400
>> I'm not trying to -->> there

8449
05:35:11,400 --> 05:35:12,400
was monkey business going on because

8450
05:35:12,400 --> 05:35:14,400
of this. That's

8451
05:35:15,400 --> 05:35:17,400
why I'm extra careful this time

8452
05:35:17,400 --> 05:35:18,400
around that our public is protected.

8453
05:35:18,400 --> 05:35:20,400
>> I appreciate

8454
05:35:20,400 --> 05:35:21,400
that, mayor.

8455
05:35:21,400 --> 05:35:22,400
>> 100%. >> I'm not trying

8456
05:35:22,400 --> 05:35:23,400
to --

8457
05:35:23,400 --> 05:35:24,400
>> that's what

8458
05:35:24,400 --> 05:35:26,400
I'm hoping that you would all support.

8459
05:35:26,400 --> 05:35:29,400
making sure the public is protected

8460
05:35:29,400 --> 05:35:30,400
and backstopped.

8461
05:35:30,400 --> 05:35:31,400
>> I appreciate that,

8462
05:35:31,400 --> 05:35:33,400
madam mayor, and I'm

8463
05:35:33,400 --> 05:35:36,400
not trying to hold up super bowl

8464
05:35:36,400 --> 05:35:38,400
50, either for derace

8465
05:35:39,400 --> 05:35:41,400
or exultation. I'm just giving

8466
05:35:41,400 --> 05:35:42,400
context there was additional security

8467
05:35:42,400 --> 05:35:45,400
contemplated back then. All the

8468
05:35:45,400 --> 05:35:46,400
amounts were reimbursed back then,

8469
05:35:46,400 --> 05:35:47,400
although I don't think

8470
05:35:47,400 --> 05:35:48,400
they were as carefully accounted for

8471
05:35:48,400 --> 05:35:49,400
as they are being accounted for now.

8472
05:35:49,400 --> 05:35:50,400
>>

8473
05:35:50,400 --> 05:35:51,400
exactly, they weren't.

8474
05:35:51,400 --> 05:35:52,400
>> there was at

8475
05:35:52,400 --> 05:35:53,400
least even recorded

8476
05:35:53,400 --> 05:35:54,400
a few hundred thousand dollars not

8477
05:35:54,400 --> 05:35:56,400
reimbursed,

8478
05:35:57,400 --> 05:35:59,400
mayor. But all

8479
05:36:00,400 --> 05:36:03,400
of that had conditions on it and

8480
05:36:03,400 --> 05:36:06,400
approval rights of the party that

8481
05:36:06,400 --> 05:36:07,400
those costs were being submitted to.

8482
05:36:07,400 --> 05:36:09,400
I

8483
05:36:09,400 --> 05:36:10,400
would offer to you that this is a

8484
05:36:10,400 --> 05:36:12,400
much

8485
05:36:12,400 --> 05:36:15,400
more thought out, much more

8486
05:36:16,400 --> 05:36:18,400
detailed mechanism for

8487
05:36:18,400 --> 05:36:19,400
us obtaining those costs. And the

8488
05:36:19,400 --> 05:36:21,400
actual

8489
05:36:22,400 --> 05:36:23,400
and reasonable

8490
05:36:23,400 --> 05:36:25,400
cost costs concept is built into the

8491
05:36:25,400 --> 05:36:26,400
stadium lease itself.

8492
05:36:26,400 --> 05:36:28,400
it was built into the super bowl 50 agreement.

8493
05:36:28,400 --> 05:36:30,400
and really, it's built

8494
05:36:30,400 --> 05:36:31,400
into this agreement, I think, but

8495
05:36:31,400 --> 05:36:32,400
with better

8496
05:36:32,400 --> 05:36:33,400
language and better protections and

8497
05:36:33,400 --> 05:36:34,400
dispute resolution mechanisms.

8498
05:36:34,400 --> 05:36:35,400
>>

8499
05:36:35,400 --> 05:36:38,400
the onerous system that you have to go through to get

8500
05:36:38,400 --> 05:36:42,400
reimbursed is unlike anything I've ever seen.

8501
05:36:42,400 --> 05:36:43,400
there is no streamlining anything

8502
05:36:43,400 --> 05:36:44,400
there.

8503
05:36:44,400 --> 05:36:46,400
and the fact that they get to approve

8504
05:36:46,400 --> 05:36:48,400
what they want to pay

8505
05:36:48,400 --> 05:36:49,400
us is not something anybody signing

8506
05:36:49,400 --> 05:36:55,400
any agreement in the world would ever agree to that.

8507
05:36:55,400 --> 05:36:56,400
>> I disdisagree. >>

8508
05:36:56,400 --> 05:36:58,400
because you're recommending it. So

8509
05:36:58,400 --> 05:37:00,400
I'm going to stop.

8510
05:37:00,400 --> 05:37:01,400
I know where this is going. Vice mayor

8511
05:37:01,400 --> 05:37:02,400
cox.

8512
05:37:02,400 --> 05:37:03,400
>>

8513
05:37:03,400 --> 05:37:04,400
I had two follow-up questions. One

8514
05:37:04,400 --> 05:37:06,400
in response,

8515
05:37:06,400 --> 05:37:10,000
city manager, to, again, the question

8516
05:37:10,400 --> 05:37:11,400
about beautification, which, you

8517
05:37:11,400 --> 05:37:13,400
know, allows to conversation to open

8518
05:37:13,400 --> 05:37:15,400
up about the things we're

8519
05:37:15,400 --> 05:37:17,400
potentially paying for that we necessarily

8520
05:37:17,400 --> 05:37:19,400
wouldn't if the super bowl was here.

8521
05:37:19,400 --> 05:37:22,400
do we have a way

8522
05:37:22,400 --> 05:37:23,400
to track and categorize

8523
05:37:23,400 --> 05:37:25,400
those expenses specifically? These

8524
05:37:25,400 --> 05:37:27,400
are

8525
05:37:27,400 --> 05:37:28,400
uniquely city costs, then that, we

8526
05:37:28,400 --> 05:37:30,400
will pay because the super

8527
05:37:30,400 --> 05:37:31,400
bowl is coming, but not reimbursable.

8528
05:37:31,400 --> 05:37:34,400
are those being tracked independently?

8529
05:37:34,400 --> 05:37:36,400
and

8530
05:37:36,400 --> 05:37:37,400
then my follow-up question, again --

8531
05:37:37,400 --> 05:37:39,400
thank you, mr.

8532
05:37:39,400 --> 05:37:41,400
beechman, I know this is frustrating --

8533
05:37:41,400 --> 05:37:43,400
but I do like that you doubled down

8534
05:37:43,400 --> 05:37:45,400
or tripled

8535
05:37:45,400 --> 05:37:46,400
down or maybe four times said $100

8536
05:37:46,400 --> 05:37:48,400
million. And I

8537
05:37:49,400 --> 05:37:52,400
misquoted it. It was not yahoo!

8538
05:37:52,400 --> 05:37:54,400
sports.

8539
05:37:54,400 --> 05:37:55,400
it was "the san francisco chronicle" saying

8540
05:37:55,400 --> 05:37:57,400
there have been hundreds of millions

8541
05:37:57,400 --> 05:37:58,400
of dollars supported --of support

8542
05:37:58,400 --> 05:38:00,400
in putting

8543
05:38:00,400 --> 05:38:01,400
this on, specifically this. And so I think

8544
05:38:01,400 --> 05:38:02,400
so

8545
05:38:02,400 --> 05:38:04,400
much of this hinges on the bay area host

8546
05:38:04,400 --> 05:38:06,400
committee having funds.

8547
05:38:07,400 --> 05:38:09,400
and I think my

8548
05:38:09,400 --> 05:38:10,400
hesitation is I routinely hear, those

8549
05:38:10,400 --> 05:38:12,400
not funding coming

8550
05:38:12,400 --> 05:38:13,400
in. I would be so much more comfortable

8551
05:38:13,400 --> 05:38:14,400
with this if somebody

8552
05:38:14,400 --> 05:38:16,400
was willing to say that that is accurate.

8553
05:38:16,400 --> 05:38:19,400
and I don't know that anybody

8554
05:38:19,400 --> 05:38:21,400
would be willing to right now say --

8555
05:38:21,400 --> 05:38:23,400
is there any accuracy in hundreds

8556
05:38:23,400 --> 05:38:25,400
of millions of dollars being generated

8557
05:38:25,400 --> 05:38:26,400
from the bay area host

8558
05:38:26,400 --> 05:38:28,400
committee? What I want is just --

8559
05:38:28,400 --> 05:38:30,400
I don't care to know about

8560
05:38:30,400 --> 05:38:31,400
your donors. I know there's confidentiality.

8561
05:38:31,400 --> 05:38:33,400
but can I

8562
05:38:33,400 --> 05:38:34,400
get the little thermometer that shows the

8563
05:38:34,400 --> 05:38:36,800
red line going up?

8564
05:38:37,400 --> 05:38:39,400
how close are we to our goal? I know

8565
05:38:39,400 --> 05:38:40,400
in our development plans, any major

8566
05:38:40,400 --> 05:38:42,400
project, we have to

8567
05:38:42,400 --> 05:38:43,400
see --we have to be accountable to

8568
05:38:43,400 --> 05:38:45,400
what we've

8569
05:38:45,400 --> 05:38:46,400
raised towards our goal. And so far,

8570
05:38:46,400 --> 05:38:47,400
there has been

8571
05:38:47,400 --> 05:38:52,200
no transparency on that. And that is concerning.

8572
05:38:52,400 --> 05:38:53,400
you know, we're being asked to prefund

8573
05:38:53,400 --> 05:38:54,400
this

8574
05:38:54,400 --> 05:38:55,400
for a company to come in --or a nonprofit

8575
05:38:55,400 --> 05:38:57,400
to come in and

8576
05:38:57,400 --> 05:38:58,400
pay us back. But there's not a disclosure of

8577
05:38:58,400 --> 05:39:01,400
how much money they've made.

8578
05:39:01,400 --> 05:39:02,400
so anybody want to

8579
05:39:02,400 --> 05:39:03,400
double down and say, yeah, we've got

8580
05:39:03,400 --> 05:39:08,200
hundreds of millions of dollars for this thing?

8581
05:39:10,400 --> 05:39:11,400
this on, putting this on?

8582
05:39:11,400 --> 05:39:12,400
>> just

8583
05:39:12,400 --> 05:39:13,400
following

8584
05:39:13,400 --> 05:39:14,400
up, that's why the backstop matters.

8585
05:39:14,400 --> 05:39:15,400
it really matters.

8586
05:39:15,400 --> 05:39:19,400
and that backstop has to be solid.

8587
05:39:19,400 --> 05:39:21,400
for our

8588
05:39:22,400 --> 05:39:24,400
public.

8589
05:39:24,400 --> 05:39:25,400
councilmember gonzalez?

8590
05:39:25,400 --> 05:39:27,800
>> thank you, madam mayor.

8591
05:39:28,400 --> 05:39:30,400
so my time on

8592
05:39:30,400 --> 05:39:34,400
the school board, there was different things

8593
05:39:34,400 --> 05:39:35,400
that I saw as far as myus with the

8594
05:39:35,400 --> 05:39:37,400
city

8595
05:39:37,400 --> 05:39:38,400
and such. We've learned from ten years

8596
05:39:38,400 --> 05:39:40,400
ago.

8597
05:39:40,400 --> 05:39:43,400
our staff which we entrust to help

8598
05:39:43,400 --> 05:39:45,400
us make

8599
05:39:46,400 --> 05:39:48,400
recommendations that we can live with

8600
05:39:48,400 --> 05:39:49,400
is something that we entrust our staff

8601
05:39:49,400 --> 05:39:51,800
to do. I think

8602
05:39:52,400 --> 05:39:54,400
that from what I've seen from this

8603
05:39:54,400 --> 05:39:55,400
agreement and the super bowl 50 agreement, this

8604
05:39:55,400 --> 05:39:57,400
is an improvement

8605
05:39:58,400 --> 05:40:01,400
on that agreement. As far as the

8606
05:40:01,400 --> 05:40:03,400
costs, obviously this is

8607
05:40:03,400 --> 05:40:04,400
10x costs. If you accumulate the 10

8608
05:40:04,400 --> 05:40:06,400
games that happened in the

8609
05:40:06,400 --> 05:40:07,400
regular season, this is --this one

8610
05:40:07,400 --> 05:40:09,400
game is going to cost

8611
05:40:09,400 --> 05:40:10,400
10 times that, as far as the public

8612
05:40:10,400 --> 05:40:12,400
safety

8613
05:40:13,400 --> 05:40:16,400
costs and the other costs

8614
05:40:16,400 --> 05:40:18,400
that are into that

8615
05:40:18,400 --> 05:40:19,400
as well. So we have many partners in

8616
05:40:19,400 --> 05:40:21,400
the city.

8617
05:40:21,400 --> 05:40:24,400
this is one of our partners. They

8618
05:40:24,400 --> 05:40:25,400
have stepped up as far as getting their obligation that

8619
05:40:25,400 --> 05:40:27,400
stadco

8620
05:40:28,400 --> 05:40:30,400
is the entity

8621
05:40:30,400 --> 05:40:31,400
we're dealing with. This is something

8622
05:40:31,400 --> 05:40:33,400
we've been dealing

8623
05:40:34,400 --> 05:40:37,400
with the last 12 years. It's not

8624
05:40:37,400 --> 05:40:39,400
that we have to have manco --I think

8625
05:40:39,400 --> 05:40:40,400
rightly stated as far as the fifa

8626
05:40:40,400 --> 05:40:42,400
event is

8627
05:40:43,400 --> 05:40:44,400
notnot nfl event. Either we look at the glass half

8628
05:40:44,400 --> 05:40:46,400
full or half empty.

8629
05:40:46,400 --> 05:40:48,800
I could tell you

8630
05:40:49,400 --> 05:40:51,400
that from the way that I --that

8631
05:40:51,400 --> 05:40:52,400
my life has evolved, right? If you

8632
05:40:52,400 --> 05:40:53,400
look at it

8633
05:40:53,400 --> 05:40:55,400
half empty, that's the way you're going to

8634
05:40:55,400 --> 05:40:57,400
look at it.

8635
05:40:58,400 --> 05:41:00,400
so as far as the recommendation

8636
05:41:00,400 --> 05:41:01,400
that the staff has --I'm not sure

8637
05:41:01,400 --> 05:41:04,400
if you're done answering all the questions.

8638
05:41:04,400 --> 05:41:05,400
>> no, we have a number of additional

8639
05:41:05,400 --> 05:41:07,400
questions that

8640
05:41:07,400 --> 05:41:10,400
we would like to go to.

8641
05:41:10,400 --> 05:41:13,400
the mayor asked a question, does

8642
05:41:13,400 --> 05:41:14,400
the current amount of $6. 4 million

8643
05:41:14,400 --> 05:41:17,400
include hotel costs? The answer is yes.

8644
05:41:17,400 --> 05:41:19,400
so

8645
05:41:19,400 --> 05:41:20,400
we've estimated hotel costs. There

8646
05:41:20,400 --> 05:41:22,400
are

8647
05:41:22,400 --> 05:41:25,400
team hotels as well as friends and

8648
05:41:25,400 --> 05:41:27,400
family hotels and nfl operations hotels

8649
05:41:27,400 --> 05:41:29,400
that will be in santa clara. And so

8650
05:41:29,400 --> 05:41:31,400
all of those security costs

8651
05:41:31,400 --> 05:41:34,400
have been estimated. As you know, with

8652
05:41:34,400 --> 05:41:35,400
all these costs, they may change.

8653
05:41:35,400 --> 05:41:37,400
and an important

8654
05:41:37,400 --> 05:41:38,400
note that I think we've said in our

8655
05:41:38,400 --> 05:41:39,400
prior

8656
05:41:39,400 --> 05:41:41,400
meetings. It's not a budget. Right?

8657
05:41:41,400 --> 05:41:43,400
it is an

8658
05:41:44,400 --> 05:41:45,400
estimate based on known

8659
05:41:45,400 --> 05:41:47,400
information. When that changes, I

8660
05:41:47,400 --> 05:41:49,400
update the estimate and

8661
05:41:49,400 --> 05:41:53,400
that will adjust the payment amounts as well as

8662
05:41:53,400 --> 05:41:55,400
the 50% deposit.

8663
05:41:59,400 --> 05:42:01,400
there were questions around

8664
05:42:01,400 --> 05:42:02,400
the dispute resolution process. We've

8665
05:42:02,400 --> 05:42:04,400
talked

8666
05:42:04,400 --> 05:42:05,400
a little bit about that with regard

8667
05:42:05,400 --> 05:42:07,400
to

8668
05:42:07,400 --> 05:42:08,400
qualified event expenses. I will say

8669
05:42:08,400 --> 05:42:10,400
that qualified

8670
05:42:10,400 --> 05:42:11,400
event expenses and the dispute resolution

8671
05:42:11,400 --> 05:42:13,400
process,

8672
05:42:13,400 --> 05:42:16,400
as we looked at this, is really a

8673
05:42:16,400 --> 05:42:17,400
very structured way that we do business

8674
05:42:17,400 --> 05:42:19,800
on a normal day-to-

8675
05:42:20,400 --> 05:42:23,400
day basis, right? If we have an

8676
05:42:23,400 --> 05:42:26,400
agreement with a vendor or even, let's

8677
05:42:26,400 --> 05:42:27,400
say, a developer, common.

8678
05:42:27,400 --> 05:42:29,400
very, very common. A developer submits

8679
05:42:29,400 --> 05:42:31,400
an application.

8680
05:42:31,400 --> 05:42:32,400
we then bill them for costs. We can't

8681
05:42:32,400 --> 05:42:33,400
bill them for

8682
05:42:33,400 --> 05:42:34,400
anything under the sun. And in fact,

8683
05:42:34,400 --> 05:42:35,400
when we give them the invoice, they have

8684
05:42:35,400 --> 05:42:36,400
the

8685
05:42:36,400 --> 05:42:38,400
ability to dispute that and say, we

8686
05:42:38,400 --> 05:42:39,400
don't think

8687
05:42:39,400 --> 05:42:41,400
that this was an eligible cost associated with

8688
05:42:41,400 --> 05:42:43,400
our development application.

8689
05:42:44,400 --> 05:42:45,400
because of the

8690
05:42:45,400 --> 05:42:47,400
heightened sensitivities, because of

8691
05:42:47,400 --> 05:42:49,400
the concerns, because

8692
05:42:50,400 --> 05:42:53,400
frankly I think this city has

8693
05:42:53,400 --> 05:42:55,400
a history of tensions with

8694
05:42:55,400 --> 05:42:56,400
the stadium and 49er entities. There

8695
05:42:56,400 --> 05:42:58,400
was a significant

8696
05:42:58,400 --> 05:42:59,400
amount of time that was dedicated to

8697
05:42:59,400 --> 05:43:01,400
define

8698
05:43:02,400 --> 05:43:03,400
what would be qualified event

8699
05:43:03,400 --> 05:43:05,400
expenses. There was frankly concern on

8700
05:43:05,400 --> 05:43:07,400
the other side that the city would

8701
05:43:07,400 --> 05:43:08,400
attempt to put costs that weren't

8702
05:43:08,400 --> 05:43:10,400
really

8703
05:43:10,400 --> 05:43:13,400
related to the event on the invoice.

8704
05:43:13,400 --> 05:43:17,400
we saud about that and created language

8705
05:43:17,400 --> 05:43:20,400
around that such that there's a process,

8706
05:43:20,400 --> 05:43:21,400
right?

8707
05:43:21,400 --> 05:43:23,400
with anyone that we bill, they take a look at the

8708
05:43:23,400 --> 05:43:25,400
invoice. If they feel that's not appropriate,

8709
05:43:25,400 --> 05:43:26,400
they certainly dispute it. And because of

8710
05:43:26,400 --> 05:43:28,400
the

8711
05:43:29,400 --> 05:43:31,800
timeline also, we embedded

8712
05:43:32,400 --> 05:43:34,400
in a process

8713
05:43:34,400 --> 05:43:35,400
where if something was disputed, they have

8714
05:43:35,400 --> 05:43:37,400
to pay that invoice.

8715
05:43:37,400 --> 05:43:38,400
because we wanted to keep going. Let's

8716
05:43:38,400 --> 05:43:39,400
say that there is a

8717
05:43:39,400 --> 05:43:41,400
dispute on a cost. We didn't want

8718
05:43:41,400 --> 05:43:43,400
that to stop our planning

8719
05:43:43,400 --> 05:43:44,400
process, right? And so I'll turn it

8720
05:43:44,400 --> 05:43:46,800
over to the city

8721
05:43:47,400 --> 05:43:48,400
attorney now to talk about

8722
05:43:48,400 --> 05:43:50,400
that language in the agreement. Because it

8723
05:43:50,400 --> 05:43:52,400
was very,

8724
05:43:52,400 --> 05:43:53,400
very purposeful on how we structured

8725
05:43:53,400 --> 05:43:55,400
that.

8726
05:43:56,400 --> 05:43:57,400
I can do it too.

8727
05:43:57,400 --> 05:43:58,400
>> looking at something

8728
05:43:58,400 --> 05:43:59,400
else, which language?

8729
05:43:59,400 --> 05:44:00,400
>> my question

8730
05:44:00,400 --> 05:44:01,400
was about the

8731
05:44:01,400 --> 05:44:02,400
estimated costs for disputes. Not

8732
05:44:02,400 --> 05:44:04,400
about the dispute

8733
05:44:05,400 --> 05:44:06,400
process.

8734
05:44:06,400 --> 05:44:07,400
>> oh, yeah, yeah. >> if there

8735
05:44:07,400 --> 05:44:08,400
is disputes, which there will be,

8736
05:44:08,400 --> 05:44:11,400
what did you estimate the cost

8737
05:44:11,400 --> 05:44:13,400
to be? That was my question.

8738
05:44:13,400 --> 05:44:14,400
>> and I've actually made an inquiry

8739
05:44:14,400 --> 05:44:16,400
with mohammad

8740
05:44:17,400 --> 05:44:19,400
wali

8741
05:44:20,400 --> 05:44:21,400
sada, madam, who has represented us

8742
05:44:21,400 --> 05:44:23,400
in litigation

8743
05:44:23,400 --> 05:44:26,400
with the 49ers over this.

8744
05:44:26,400 --> 05:44:28,400
and he doesn't

8745
05:44:28,400 --> 05:44:29,400
have just just --a single purpose

8746
05:44:29,400 --> 05:44:31,800
estimate of what the

8747
05:44:32,400 --> 05:44:33,400
cost would be, right? It would vary

8748
05:44:33,400 --> 05:44:35,400
dramatically

8749
05:44:35,400 --> 05:44:36,400
on exactly what the dispute was, how

8750
05:44:36,400 --> 05:44:38,400
much money

8751
05:44:38,400 --> 05:44:39,400
was in dispute, you know in

8752
05:44:39,400 --> 05:44:41,400
the complexity of the issues, you

8753
05:44:41,400 --> 05:44:43,400
know, involved. We did, however,

8754
05:44:43,400 --> 05:44:46,400
design this purposefully in order

8755
05:44:47,400 --> 05:44:50,400
to, again, be a process that

8756
05:44:50,400 --> 05:44:51,400
is likely to be less expensive than

8757
05:44:51,400 --> 05:44:52,400
full-

8758
05:44:52,400 --> 05:44:53,400
blown litigation. Using arbitration

8759
05:44:53,400 --> 05:44:55,400
and expedited

8760
05:44:55,400 --> 05:44:56,400
arbitration. So sorry, I'm going to

8761
05:44:56,400 --> 05:44:58,400
give you a lawyer's

8762
05:44:58,400 --> 05:44:59,400
answer. It depends on the nature of

8763
05:44:59,400 --> 05:45:01,400
the dispute. But

8764
05:45:01,400 --> 05:45:02,400
we've tried to design the process

8765
05:45:02,400 --> 05:45:04,400
in a

8766
05:45:04,400 --> 05:45:05,400
way that manages costs on all sides in order to

8767
05:45:05,400 --> 05:45:07,400
resolve things effectively.

8768
05:45:17,400 --> 05:45:19,400
>> there was a

8769
05:45:19,400 --> 05:45:20,400
question by councilmember chahal about

8770
05:45:20,400 --> 05:45:21,400
the impact of

8771
05:45:21,400 --> 05:45:23,400
the sales tax during the super bowl.

8772
05:45:23,400 --> 05:45:25,400
we do not

8773
05:45:25,400 --> 05:45:26,400
have those numbers. There has been

8774
05:45:26,400 --> 05:45:28,400
an economic

8775
05:45:28,400 --> 05:45:29,400
impact study that the bay area --

8776
05:45:29,400 --> 05:45:31,400
the host committee

8777
05:45:32,400 --> 05:45:34,400
produced that provided estimates

8778
05:45:34,400 --> 05:45:35,400
county-wide. They are working to get

8779
05:45:35,400 --> 05:45:37,400
estimates specific

8780
05:45:37,400 --> 05:45:41,400
to cities as well as, you know, we

8781
05:45:41,400 --> 05:45:43,400
committed

8782
05:45:43,400 --> 05:45:44,400
to hire a economic consultant to do a

8783
05:45:44,400 --> 05:45:46,400
review of what

8784
05:45:47,400 --> 05:45:49,400
the impact is to santa clara and do

8785
05:45:49,400 --> 05:45:50,400
a comparative analysis pre-super bowl

8786
05:45:50,400 --> 05:45:51,400
and post-super bowl. We'll be conducting that

8787
05:45:51,400 --> 05:45:53,400
analysis.

8788
05:45:56,400 --> 05:45:59,400
next, there was a question by

8789
05:45:59,400 --> 05:46:01,400
councilmember hardy and

8790
05:46:02,400 --> 05:46:04,400
councilmember

8791
05:46:04,400 --> 05:46:05,400
gonzalez, really talking about if

8792
05:46:05,400 --> 05:46:07,400
we approve

8793
05:46:08,400 --> 05:46:10,400
this tonight, is it a done deal?

8794
05:46:10,400 --> 05:46:11,400
or what happens if the host committee

8795
05:46:11,400 --> 05:46:13,400
does not agree? I'll

8796
05:46:13,400 --> 05:46:14,400
say, similar to the process with the

8797
05:46:14,400 --> 05:46:16,800
assignment and assumption agreement,

8798
05:46:17,400 --> 05:46:20,400
you remember the city council

8799
05:46:20,400 --> 05:46:21,400
adopted the terms of the assignment

8800
05:46:21,400 --> 05:46:23,400
and assumption

8801
05:46:23,400 --> 05:46:24,400
agreement, and then it went through

8802
05:46:24,400 --> 05:46:25,400
an approval

8803
05:46:25,400 --> 05:46:26,400
process and the bay area host committee

8804
05:46:26,400 --> 05:46:28,400
took that to

8805
05:46:29,400 --> 05:46:30,400
their board, and only after that did

8806
05:46:30,400 --> 05:46:32,400
staff

8807
05:46:32,400 --> 05:46:33,400
sign.

8808
05:46:33,400 --> 05:46:35,400
>> just to add to that, there

8809
05:46:35,400 --> 05:46:36,400
are a couple of nuances to this agreement

8810
05:46:36,400 --> 05:46:38,400
that are

8811
05:46:38,400 --> 05:46:39,400
still under discussion to refine the

8812
05:46:39,400 --> 05:46:41,400
terms.

8813
05:46:41,400 --> 05:46:43,800
it is still, even

8814
05:46:44,400 --> 05:46:45,400
show the draft is substantially

8815
05:46:45,400 --> 05:46:47,400
final, something that we're asking

8816
05:46:47,400 --> 05:46:49,400
the council to approve with

8817
05:46:49,400 --> 05:46:50,400
some delegation of authority on our

8818
05:46:50,400 --> 05:46:53,400
part to finalize those terms. One of

8819
05:46:53,400 --> 05:46:54,400
the things that's still outstanding

8820
05:46:54,400 --> 05:46:55,400
is --are some of

8821
05:46:55,400 --> 05:46:56,400
the details of that termination provision

8822
05:46:56,400 --> 05:46:59,400
that I told you I don't

8823
05:46:59,400 --> 05:47:01,400
like so much.

8824
05:47:02,400 --> 05:47:03,400
to determine the extent to which we

8825
05:47:03,400 --> 05:47:05,400
might

8826
05:47:06,400 --> 05:47:08,400
also receive the

8827
05:47:08,400 --> 05:47:09,400
cancelation fee, if in fact we elect

8828
05:47:09,400 --> 05:47:11,400
to terminate

8829
05:47:12,400 --> 05:47:14,400
the convention

8830
05:47:14,400 --> 05:47:15,400
center agreement and the extent to

8831
05:47:15,400 --> 05:47:17,400
which

8832
05:47:17,400 --> 05:47:18,400
amounts that are on deposit with us would

8833
05:47:18,400 --> 05:47:20,400
be returned.

8834
05:47:21,400 --> 05:47:23,400
so there are

8835
05:47:23,400 --> 05:47:24,400
some, again, kind of lawyers issues

8836
05:47:24,400 --> 05:47:26,400
in the

8837
05:47:26,400 --> 05:47:27,400
unholy circumstance if, in fact, we're

8838
05:47:27,400 --> 05:47:33,400
in termination discussions with them so close to the event.

8839
05:47:33,400 --> 05:47:35,400
so there

8840
05:47:36,400 --> 05:47:38,400
are things like that still

8841
05:47:38,400 --> 05:47:39,400
being discussed and will be finalized

8842
05:47:39,400 --> 05:47:41,400
by

8843
05:47:41,400 --> 05:47:42,400
staff if you approve this agreement.

8844
05:47:42,400 --> 05:47:45,400
the other thing that of course is

8845
05:47:45,400 --> 05:47:47,400
not final yet,

8846
05:47:47,400 --> 05:47:48,400
that we talked about a little earlier

8847
05:47:48,400 --> 05:47:50,400
as

8848
05:47:50,400 --> 05:47:51,400
the special event zone itself. That will

8849
05:47:51,400 --> 05:47:53,400
be coming

8850
05:47:53,400 --> 05:47:54,400
back to you and the council will be

8851
05:47:54,400 --> 05:47:56,400
given

8852
05:47:57,400 --> 05:47:58,400
an opportunity to consider,

8853
05:47:58,400 --> 05:48:00,400
comment, approve that, send it back

8854
05:48:00,400 --> 05:48:01,400
to us for additional work

8855
05:48:01,400 --> 05:48:03,400
depending what you think about it at the

8856
05:48:03,400 --> 05:48:05,400
time. This doesn't

8857
05:48:05,400 --> 05:48:07,400
bind you to approve that but it clearly

8858
05:48:07,400 --> 05:48:09,400
creates the expectation that --an

8859
05:48:09,400 --> 05:48:12,400
obligation on staff to bring something

8860
05:48:12,400 --> 05:48:14,400
to you that meets the

8861
05:48:14,400 --> 05:48:15,400
criteria of the event.the and then you'll have the

8862
05:48:15,400 --> 05:48:19,000
discretion to approve it or not.

8863
05:48:21,400 --> 05:48:22,400
I'm sorry, on

8864
05:48:22,400 --> 05:48:24,400
where bay area host committee is at

8865
05:48:24,400 --> 05:48:27,400
with their approval, one of

8866
05:48:27,400 --> 05:48:29,400
the things

8867
05:48:29,400 --> 05:48:30,400
that exasperated me, that's the right

8868
05:48:30,400 --> 05:48:32,400
word about

8869
05:48:33,400 --> 05:48:35,400
the fifa

8870
05:48:36,400 --> 05:48:37,400
agreement was it tooktook

8871
05:48:37,400 --> 05:48:39,400
longer than any of us thought to get

8872
05:48:39,400 --> 05:48:41,400
to their board

8873
05:48:41,400 --> 05:48:42,400
for approval. They don't have a specific board

8874
05:48:42,400 --> 05:48:45,400
meeting now scheduled for this.

8875
05:48:45,400 --> 05:48:47,400
but have assured me

8876
05:48:47,400 --> 05:48:48,400
that it is a short-term exercise,

8877
05:48:48,400 --> 05:48:50,400
not the

8878
05:48:50,400 --> 05:48:51,400
couple of months exercise that it was to

8879
05:48:51,400 --> 05:48:52,400
have

8880
05:48:52,400 --> 05:48:54,400
the fifa agreement hanging out there

8881
05:48:54,400 --> 05:48:56,400
for much longer

8882
05:48:56,400 --> 05:48:57,400
than anyone was comfortable. And obviously

8883
05:48:57,400 --> 05:48:58,400
we're

8884
05:48:58,400 --> 05:49:00,400
that much closer to the super bowl

8885
05:49:00,400 --> 05:49:03,400
agreement as well. And so they

8886
05:49:03,400 --> 05:49:06,400
want this pinned down I think as eagerly as we

8887
05:49:06,400 --> 05:49:08,400
do.

8888
05:49:08,400 --> 05:49:09,400
and so our expectation is that would

8889
05:49:09,400 --> 05:49:11,400
go to

8890
05:49:12,400 --> 05:49:13,400
them in relatively short order,

8891
05:49:13,400 --> 05:49:15,400
and we of course report that out to

8892
05:49:15,400 --> 05:49:18,400
you with a final version of the

8893
05:49:18,400 --> 05:49:21,400
agreement, like we provided you for fifa

8894
05:49:21,400 --> 05:49:24,400
suns once it was final, 29al. Then

8895
05:49:24,400 --> 05:49:27,400
a schedule for their board

8896
05:49:27,400 --> 05:49:29,800
approval. I do believe

8897
05:49:30,400 --> 05:49:32,400
that the 49ers approval

8898
05:49:32,400 --> 05:49:33,400
is something that is not --does not

8899
05:49:33,400 --> 05:49:35,400
require board

8900
05:49:35,400 --> 05:49:36,400
approval, and that would be a very

8901
05:49:36,400 --> 05:49:37,400
expa

8902
05:49:37,400 --> 05:49:39,400
tighted internal process with their

8903
05:49:39,400 --> 05:49:40,400
leadership group.

8904
05:49:40,400 --> 05:49:42,400
>> and I'll just

8905
05:49:42,400 --> 05:49:45,400
add to that. So this

8906
05:49:45,400 --> 05:49:46,400
agreement's before you with --

8907
05:49:46,400 --> 05:49:48,400
in substantial completion form with

8908
05:49:48,400 --> 05:49:50,800
a few remain items

8909
05:49:51,400 --> 05:49:52,400
you typically delegate to staff. I

8910
05:49:52,400 --> 05:49:54,400
will say

8911
05:49:54,400 --> 05:49:57,400
while we know that oftentimes venue

8912
05:49:57,400 --> 05:50:00,400
agreements are signed late, because of

8913
05:50:00,400 --> 05:50:02,400
the complicated nature of these

8914
05:50:02,400 --> 05:50:03,400
negotiations, we've sort of been dual

8915
05:50:03,400 --> 05:50:05,400
tracking negotiating

8916
05:50:06,400 --> 05:50:09,400
and preparing. And we're really looking

8917
05:50:09,400 --> 05:50:10,400
forward to only focusing

8918
05:50:10,400 --> 05:50:12,400
on preparing and all the work that

8919
05:50:12,400 --> 05:50:14,400
is ahead.

8920
05:50:14,400 --> 05:50:15,400
so we're certainly before you tonight

8921
05:50:15,400 --> 05:50:17,400
comfortable

8922
05:50:18,400 --> 05:50:21,400
quit the terms that have been

8923
05:50:21,400 --> 05:50:22,400
presented to you about able

8924
05:50:22,400 --> 05:50:24,400
to respond to any additional questions

8925
05:50:24,400 --> 05:50:25,400
you have. I think the last question

8926
05:50:25,400 --> 05:50:27,400
that we

8927
05:50:27,400 --> 05:50:29,400
have not

8928
05:50:30,400 --> 05:50:32,400
responded to

8929
05:50:33,400 --> 05:50:35,400
is a question from councilmember jain,

8930
05:50:35,400 --> 05:50:36,400
the tlt occupancy tax waived in 2016.

8931
05:50:36,400 --> 05:50:38,400
we have

8932
05:50:38,400 --> 05:50:39,400
not found a record of that actually

8933
05:50:39,400 --> 05:50:41,400
being waived.

8934
05:50:42,400 --> 05:50:43,400
we know it was talked about and envisioned,

8935
05:50:43,400 --> 05:50:44,400
but

8936
05:50:44,400 --> 05:50:45,400
we do not believe that was actually

8937
05:50:45,400 --> 05:50:47,400
waived, or at least we

8938
05:50:47,400 --> 05:50:48,400
have not been able to find a record of

8939
05:50:48,400 --> 05:50:49,400
it.

8940
05:50:49,400 --> 05:50:51,800
>> I have one question.

8941
05:50:54,400 --> 05:50:59,200
when did the last interim funding agreemen expire?

8942
05:50:59,400 --> 05:51:00,400
>> it has not expired. >> is there

8943
05:51:00,400 --> 05:51:01,400
any

8944
05:51:01,400 --> 05:51:03,400
money in it? Is there any money left?

8945
05:51:03,400 --> 05:51:05,400
>> yes.

8946
05:51:06,400 --> 05:51:09,400
we actually I guess had a

8947
05:51:09,400 --> 05:51:11,400
summary of that. I

8948
05:51:11,400 --> 05:51:12,400
think when we send the next invoice,

8949
05:51:12,400 --> 05:51:14,400
we will

8950
05:51:15,400 --> 05:51:17,400
cross that $250,000

8951
05:51:17,400 --> 05:51:18,400
trigger. And we'll come right up next to

8952
05:51:18,400 --> 05:51:20,400
it. And

8953
05:51:20,400 --> 05:51:24,400
we will be executing if this agreement

8954
05:51:24,400 --> 05:51:25,400
is not passed a extension.

8955
05:51:25,400 --> 05:51:26,400
>> an extension

8956
05:51:26,400 --> 05:51:27,400
with money?

8957
05:51:27,400 --> 05:51:28,400
>> with additional funds.

8958
05:51:28,400 --> 05:51:29,400
>> I've seen some of your

8959
05:51:29,400 --> 05:51:30,400
extensions, they have no money in

8960
05:51:30,400 --> 05:51:31,400
them.

8961
05:51:31,400 --> 05:51:32,400
>> that's because we had

8962
05:51:32,400 --> 05:51:33,400
additional money left, we hadn't reached

8963
05:51:33,400 --> 05:51:35,400
the financial

8964
05:51:35,400 --> 05:51:36,400
threshold. The way the amendments

8965
05:51:36,400 --> 05:51:38,400
have

8966
05:51:38,400 --> 05:51:39,400
occurred, they have either ben an

8967
05:51:39,400 --> 05:51:41,400
amendment of time and dollars

8968
05:51:41,400 --> 05:51:42,400
or simply an amendment of time when we had additional dollars

8969
05:51:42,400 --> 05:51:44,400
left.

8970
05:51:45,400 --> 05:51:47,400
>>

8971
05:51:47,400 --> 05:51:48,400
okay. I won't organize that. But I

8972
05:51:48,400 --> 05:51:50,400
disagree with that.

8973
05:51:50,400 --> 05:51:51,400
>> I'm sorry, mayor, so this -->>

8974
05:51:51,400 --> 05:51:53,400
no, no,

8975
05:51:54,400 --> 05:51:57,400
stop, stop. I'm tired, I'll

8976
05:51:57,400 --> 05:51:58,400
forget my thought.

8977
05:51:58,400 --> 05:51:59,400
>> madam mayor, go.

8978
05:51:59,400 --> 05:52:03,400
>> see, now I forgot my thought. What was it?

8979
05:52:03,400 --> 05:52:06,400
oh, my god, I can't remember.

8980
05:52:06,400 --> 05:52:08,400
okay, go ahead. Then I'll think about

8981
05:52:08,400 --> 05:52:09,400
the.

8982
05:52:09,400 --> 05:52:10,400
>> I'm sorry, mayor. I'll buy you

8983
05:52:10,400 --> 05:52:11,400
some time. I

8984
05:52:11,400 --> 05:52:12,400
was going to say the current interim

8985
05:52:12,400 --> 05:52:14,400
funding agreement now

8986
05:52:15,400 --> 05:52:16,400
goes through the end of october. So

8987
05:52:16,400 --> 05:52:17,400
through

8988
05:52:17,400 --> 05:52:20,400
october 31st. But the city manager's right.

8989
05:52:20,400 --> 05:52:21,400
I think the most recent information,

8990
05:52:21,400 --> 05:52:23,400
we're about to submit an

8991
05:52:23,400 --> 05:52:24,400
invoice that brings us right up to

8992
05:52:24,400 --> 05:52:26,400
the

8993
05:52:26,400 --> 05:52:27,400
$250,000 amount. That will require

8994
05:52:27,400 --> 05:52:29,400
the additional funds.

8995
05:52:30,400 --> 05:52:31,400
>> well, and --okay, I remembered.

8996
05:52:31,400 --> 05:52:33,400
because when

8997
05:52:33,400 --> 05:52:34,400
we approved the fifa agreement, it

8998
05:52:34,400 --> 05:52:35,400
was

8999
05:52:35,400 --> 05:52:36,400
a long time before it was signed.

9000
05:52:36,400 --> 05:52:38,400
and there was no money in the

9001
05:52:38,400 --> 05:52:42,400
interim funding agreement. So we were working for free.

9002
05:52:42,400 --> 05:52:45,400
so I want to make sure

9003
05:52:45,400 --> 05:52:47,400
that --because

9004
05:52:47,400 --> 05:52:48,400
fifa hadn't signed it.

9005
05:52:48,400 --> 05:52:49,400
>> yeah. >>

9006
05:52:49,400 --> 05:52:50,400
it took a long time.

9007
05:52:50,400 --> 05:52:51,400
>> yeah,

9008
05:52:51,400 --> 05:52:52,400
the --

9009
05:52:52,400 --> 05:52:53,400
>> I remember contacting your

9010
05:52:53,400 --> 05:52:54,400
office, where's

9011
05:52:54,400 --> 05:52:55,400
our agreements?

9012
05:52:55,400 --> 05:52:56,400
>> yeah, it took a long

9013
05:52:56,400 --> 05:52:57,400
time, you're

9014
05:52:57,400 --> 05:52:58,400
right, mayor, for bay area host committee

9015
05:52:58,400 --> 05:53:00,400
board

9016
05:53:00,400 --> 05:53:02,400
to approve and to get the final fifa

9017
05:53:02,400 --> 05:53:03,400
approval. But we were actually collecting

9018
05:53:03,400 --> 05:53:05,400
money under

9019
05:53:06,400 --> 05:53:07,400
that agreement all along. It was not --

9020
05:53:07,400 --> 05:53:08,400
>> you didn't

9021
05:53:08,400 --> 05:53:09,400
put it on the website, that you were

9022
05:53:09,400 --> 05:53:11,400
collecting money.

9023
05:53:12,400 --> 05:53:14,400
>> that could be true, adam

9024
05:53:14,400 --> 05:53:15,400
mayor.

9025
05:53:15,400 --> 05:53:16,400
>> I want to make sure we're not

9026
05:53:16,400 --> 05:53:18,400
working for free when this

9027
05:53:18,400 --> 05:53:21,400
takes forever to get signed andand

9028
05:53:21,400 --> 05:53:24,400
they --and we've run out of money

9029
05:53:24,400 --> 05:53:25,400
in the interim funding agreemen.

9030
05:53:25,400 --> 05:53:26,400
>>

9031
05:53:26,400 --> 05:53:27,400
we'll

9032
05:53:27,400 --> 05:53:28,400
ensure there's one or the other.

9033
05:53:28,400 --> 05:53:29,400
>> the way

9034
05:53:29,400 --> 05:53:30,400
I see

9035
05:53:30,400 --> 05:53:31,400
our city working right now, there's

9036
05:53:31,400 --> 05:53:33,400
a lot of work going on for super bowl.

9037
05:53:33,400 --> 05:53:34,400
a lot in all the departments. I want

9038
05:53:34,400 --> 05:53:39,200
to make sure we're getting reimbursed for that.

9039
05:53:40,400 --> 05:53:41,400
okay. Public, steve,

9040
05:53:41,400 --> 05:53:46,200
you've been waiting all night. Come on up.

9041
05:53:51,400 --> 05:53:52,400
we did get your letter too.

9042
05:53:52,400 --> 05:53:53,400
>> I'd

9043
05:53:53,400 --> 05:53:55,400
like to thank staff.

9044
05:53:55,400 --> 05:53:57,800
I've been through these

9045
05:53:58,400 --> 05:54:00,400
late-night ruling

9046
05:54:00,400 --> 05:54:03,400
meetings, it takes a toll. Okay, and --

9047
05:54:03,400 --> 05:54:04,400
also, for the comprehensive breakdown,

9048
05:54:04,400 --> 05:54:05,400
it's much

9049
05:54:05,400 --> 05:54:11,400
better than reading what's going on in our local paper.

9050
05:54:12,400 --> 05:54:13,400
mayor gillmor, councilmembers, like

9051
05:54:13,400 --> 05:54:15,800
you, I have concerns.

9052
05:54:16,400 --> 05:54:18,400
but I'm

9053
05:54:18,400 --> 05:54:21,400
glad to see that there were safeguards

9054
05:54:21,400 --> 05:54:22,400
and interim funding to prepare our

9055
05:54:22,400 --> 05:54:26,000
city for the upcoming super bowl.

9056
05:54:28,400 --> 05:54:30,800
the proposed agreement between

9057
05:54:31,400 --> 05:54:33,400
the city and the stadium

9058
05:54:33,400 --> 05:54:34,400
management company, in my mind, ensures santa clara will be

9059
05:54:34,400 --> 05:54:37,400
ready for this big event.

9060
05:54:37,400 --> 05:54:39,400
furthermore, it

9061
05:54:40,400 --> 05:54:41,400
demonstrates that

9062
05:54:41,400 --> 05:54:45,000
our city can handle world-class events.

9063
05:54:46,400 --> 05:54:48,400
these big

9064
05:54:49,400 --> 05:54:51,400
events attract future

9065
05:54:52,400 --> 05:54:54,400
business, and of course,

9066
05:54:54,400 --> 05:54:55,400
they're a boost to small and large

9067
05:54:55,400 --> 05:54:59,600
businesses that do business in santa clara.

9068
05:55:01,400 --> 05:55:04,400
and of course, it should be a

9069
05:55:04,400 --> 05:55:07,400
boon to our general fund.

9070
05:55:07,400 --> 05:55:09,400
thus, I urge

9071
05:55:10,400 --> 05:55:12,400
the council to support approving

9072
05:55:12,400 --> 05:55:13,400
this agreement. Thank you.

9073
05:55:13,400 --> 05:55:14,400
>> thank

9074
05:55:14,400 --> 05:55:17,400
you. Edward, go ahead, edward.

9075
05:55:19,400 --> 05:55:21,400
>> yeah, just

9076
05:55:22,400 --> 05:55:25,400
wanted to say that I believe if

9077
05:55:25,400 --> 05:55:26,400
this related project, that

9078
05:55:26,400 --> 05:55:28,400
their first few phases would have

9079
05:55:28,400 --> 05:55:30,400
gone through, especially with the

9080
05:55:30,400 --> 05:55:31,400
retail restaurants, hotels --that

9081
05:55:31,400 --> 05:55:32,400
we wouldn't have

9082
05:55:32,400 --> 05:55:34,400
this much stress going on with the city right now

9083
05:55:34,400 --> 05:55:36,800
as far as funding.

9084
05:55:37,400 --> 05:55:39,400
I think we'd be pretty

9085
05:55:39,400 --> 05:55:42,400
confident about how businesses would

9086
05:55:42,400 --> 05:55:43,400
be making a lot of money and some

9087
05:55:43,400 --> 05:55:44,400
of that

9088
05:55:44,400 --> 05:55:46,400
money, of course, would be going to

9089
05:55:46,400 --> 05:55:48,400
the city of santa clara. I remember

9090
05:55:48,400 --> 05:55:49,400
when joe montana wanted that hotel

9091
05:55:49,400 --> 05:55:52,400
and there was a sign right

9092
05:55:52,400 --> 05:55:55,400
across the street from levi's stadium,

9093
05:55:55,400 --> 05:55:57,400
north side there. I

9094
05:55:57,400 --> 05:55:58,400
think it was montana --maybe it said

9095
05:55:58,400 --> 05:56:00,400
future hotel for montana

9096
05:56:00,400 --> 05:56:01,400
or something. I remember it said montana

9097
05:56:01,400 --> 05:56:03,400
on that. Unfortunately, I don't

9098
05:56:03,400 --> 05:56:04,400
know what happened with that. I don't

9099
05:56:04,400 --> 05:56:06,400
know if it's

9100
05:56:06,400 --> 05:56:07,400
the york family put a stop to the

9101
05:56:07,400 --> 05:56:08,400
joe

9102
05:56:08,400 --> 05:56:10,400
montana family hotel. Can you imagine

9103
05:56:10,400 --> 05:56:11,400
all the people that would have wanted

9104
05:56:11,400 --> 05:56:16,400
to stay in that hotel for super bowl lx?

9105
05:56:16,400 --> 05:56:18,400
it's

9106
05:56:19,400 --> 05:56:20,400
unbelievable, the

9107
05:56:20,400 --> 05:56:22,400
lost opportunity this related -- I

9108
05:56:22,400 --> 05:56:24,400
know they talk about

9109
05:56:24,400 --> 05:56:25,400
how the pandemic was one of the reasons

9110
05:56:25,400 --> 05:56:27,400
why there was

9111
05:56:27,400 --> 05:56:28,400
a delay for the project. But there was three or four dlis

9112
05:56:28,400 --> 05:56:30,400
after that.

9113
05:56:33,400 --> 05:56:34,400
it's really frustrating to know we could

9114
05:56:34,400 --> 05:56:36,800
have made a lot

9115
05:56:37,400 --> 05:56:40,400
of money for the city if

9116
05:56:40,400 --> 05:56:42,400
we would have had them, you

9117
05:56:42,400 --> 05:56:43,400
know, at least in part complete the

9118
05:56:43,400 --> 05:56:44,400
retail restaurant,

9119
05:56:44,400 --> 05:56:49,200
hotel part of that portion of that project.

9120
05:56:49,400 --> 05:56:50,400
and it is really

9121
05:56:50,400 --> 05:56:52,400
frustrating, because I could see the

9122
05:56:52,400 --> 05:56:53,400
infighting going on because of the

9123
05:56:53,400 --> 05:56:54,400
money and

9124
05:56:54,400 --> 05:56:55,400
the funding. I don't think there would

9125
05:56:55,400 --> 05:56:57,400
be that much

9126
05:56:58,400 --> 05:57:00,400
infighting right now if related would

9127
05:57:00,400 --> 05:57:01,400
have done what they should have done

9128
05:57:01,400 --> 05:57:03,400
and proceeded with the

9129
05:57:03,400 --> 05:57:04,400
project and finalized that project

9130
05:57:04,400 --> 05:57:06,400
before fifa and

9131
05:57:06,400 --> 05:57:07,400
the super bowl. Like you said, we're

9132
05:57:07,400 --> 05:57:10,400
going to be dead and

9133
05:57:10,400 --> 05:57:11,400
gone by the time --if it will happen

9134
05:57:11,400 --> 05:57:12,400
again

9135
05:57:12,400 --> 05:57:13,400
where we'll have international soccer

9136
05:57:13,400 --> 05:57:14,400
matches and a super bowl in the same

9137
05:57:14,400 --> 05:57:15,400
year.

9138
05:57:15,400 --> 05:57:16,400
I know we'll probably get the super bowl

9139
05:57:16,400 --> 05:57:18,400
every ten years.

9140
05:57:19,400 --> 05:57:21,400
but it is very frustrating to

9141
05:57:21,400 --> 05:57:22,400
know that this lost opportunity happened

9142
05:57:22,400 --> 05:57:24,400
here. Thank you.

9143
05:57:25,400 --> 05:57:26,400
>> thank you, albert. All

9144
05:57:26,400 --> 05:57:28,400
right, I'm going to go to council.

9145
05:57:28,400 --> 05:57:30,400
councilmember gonzalez.

9146
05:57:34,400 --> 05:57:35,400
are you awake over there?

9147
05:57:35,400 --> 05:57:36,400
>>

9148
05:57:36,400 --> 05:57:37,400
I will make a motion for staff recommendation

9149
05:57:37,400 --> 05:57:39,400
to approve

9150
05:57:39,400 --> 05:57:40,400
the league event agreements with the bay

9151
05:57:40,400 --> 05:57:42,400
area host

9152
05:57:43,400 --> 05:57:46,400
committee, 49ers ssc and company

9153
05:57:46,400 --> 05:57:47,400
llc, stadium management company hlc

9154
05:57:47,400 --> 05:57:49,400
on

9155
05:57:49,400 --> 05:57:50,400
the terms, and substantially in the

9156
05:57:50,400 --> 05:57:51,400
form presented

9157
05:57:51,400 --> 05:57:52,400
and authorize the city manager and

9158
05:57:52,400 --> 05:57:54,400
executive director to finalize all terms

9159
05:57:54,400 --> 05:57:58,400
and cut the agreement in final form,

9160
05:57:58,400 --> 05:58:01,400
approve the stadium council, to authorize

9161
05:58:01,400 --> 05:58:04,400
and direct the city manager and city

9162
05:58:04,400 --> 05:58:05,400
director to take such other actions

9163
05:58:05,400 --> 05:58:07,400
as

9164
05:58:07,400 --> 05:58:09,400
are deemed necessary

9165
05:58:09,400 --> 05:58:10,400
and appropriate to termsterms of the

9166
05:58:10,400 --> 05:58:11,400
league agreement.

9167
05:58:11,400 --> 05:58:13,400
>> I'll second that.

9168
05:58:13,400 --> 05:58:15,400
all right.

9169
05:58:16,400 --> 05:58:17,400
we have a motion by councilmember

9170
05:58:17,400 --> 05:58:18,400
gonzalez,

9171
05:58:18,400 --> 05:58:19,400
seconded by councilmember hardy. No

9172
05:58:19,400 --> 05:58:20,400
surprise, I'm

9173
05:58:20,400 --> 05:58:22,400
not going to be supporting the motion.

9174
05:58:22,400 --> 05:58:24,400
I think the super

9175
05:58:24,400 --> 05:58:25,400
bowl's a great opportunity, but it

9176
05:58:25,400 --> 05:58:27,400
should never come at

9177
05:58:27,400 --> 05:58:31,400
the expense or the risk of the santa clara taxpayers.

9178
05:58:31,400 --> 05:58:34,400
I think that by requiring a

9179
05:58:34,400 --> 05:58:37,400
letter of credit or some kind of guarantee,

9180
05:58:37,400 --> 05:58:38,400
we ensure that every dollar we spend

9181
05:58:38,400 --> 05:58:40,400
on

9182
05:58:40,400 --> 05:58:43,400
public safety and city services is

9183
05:58:43,400 --> 05:58:46,400
reimbursed. This for me is about protecting

9184
05:58:46,400 --> 05:58:48,400
our residents, our

9185
05:58:49,400 --> 05:58:51,400
taxpayers, our city finances,

9186
05:58:51,400 --> 05:58:52,400
and most of all, our stadium authority.

9187
05:58:52,400 --> 05:58:53,400
so I will not

9188
05:58:53,400 --> 05:58:55,400
be supporting because I don't think

9189
05:58:55,400 --> 05:58:58,400
that this agreement does that.

9190
05:58:58,400 --> 05:59:00,400
councilmember park?

9191
05:59:01,400 --> 05:59:04,400
>> yeah, I hear this narrative quite a

9192
05:59:04,400 --> 05:59:06,400
bit about protecting

9193
05:59:07,400 --> 05:59:08,400
the taxpayers. And I can't help but

9194
05:59:08,400 --> 05:59:10,400
think this

9195
05:59:10,400 --> 05:59:11,400
is a very one-dimensional way of thinking.

9196
05:59:11,400 --> 05:59:13,400
if you're only looking the super bowl

9197
05:59:13,400 --> 05:59:16,400
or any event as an opportunity

9198
05:59:16,400 --> 05:59:17,400
and the costs drill related with the super

9199
05:59:17,400 --> 05:59:18,400
bowl or

9200
05:59:18,400 --> 05:59:22,400
the event are the only costs and the

9201
05:59:22,400 --> 05:59:25,400
only expenses and we're only

9202
05:59:25,400 --> 05:59:28,400
going to keep track of

9203
05:59:28,400 --> 05:59:31,400
monies with what we spend

9204
05:59:31,400 --> 05:59:32,400
and what we get back --I think that's

9205
05:59:32,400 --> 05:59:33,400
a

9206
05:59:33,400 --> 05:59:34,400
very one-dimensional way to look at events.

9207
05:59:34,400 --> 05:59:37,400
I think that we need to

9208
05:59:37,400 --> 05:59:39,400
look at

9209
05:59:40,400 --> 05:59:41,400
events as the color edward shrine

9210
05:59:41,400 --> 05:59:43,400
mentioned, that there

9211
05:59:43,400 --> 05:59:45,400
are a lot of ways that the city should

9212
05:59:45,400 --> 05:59:47,400
and could make money. There are a

9213
05:59:47,400 --> 05:59:49,400
lot of ways that we

9214
05:59:49,400 --> 05:59:53,400
should be able to make, you know,

9215
05:59:53,400 --> 05:59:55,400
money for the city that go

9216
05:59:55,400 --> 05:59:57,400
far beyond just our expenses and getting

9217
05:59:57,400 --> 05:59:58,400
reimbursements. I don't think we ever talk

9218
05:59:58,400 --> 05:59:59,400
about this. I don't think we talk

9219
05:59:59,400 --> 06:00:00,400
about this

9220
06:00:00,400 --> 06:00:02,400
because every single time it comes

9221
06:00:02,400 --> 06:00:04,800
up, we come up

9222
06:00:05,400 --> 06:00:07,400
against, well, we wish we had

9223
06:00:07,400 --> 06:00:08,400
done this. We wish that the entertainment

9224
06:00:08,400 --> 06:00:10,400
district near

9225
06:00:11,400 --> 06:00:14,400
the stadium had been activated.

9226
06:00:14,400 --> 06:00:17,400
or would be in play by the

9227
06:00:17,400 --> 06:00:20,400
time that we have super bowl lx

9228
06:00:20,400 --> 06:00:21,400
or fifa or any other

9229
06:00:21,400 --> 06:00:23,400
event. It would be great if we had

9230
06:00:23,400 --> 06:00:26,400
it now. We had literally

9231
06:00:26,400 --> 06:00:28,400
shut down restaurants and the

9232
06:00:28,400 --> 06:00:29,400
fire station, other things, so that

9233
06:00:29,400 --> 06:00:31,400
we could make way

9234
06:00:31,400 --> 06:00:32,400
for related project. Now we've got

9235
06:00:32,400 --> 06:00:36,400
even less than we did ten years ago.

9236
06:00:36,400 --> 06:00:38,400
again, I think that there --it is true,

9237
06:00:38,400 --> 06:00:40,400
we

9238
06:00:41,400 --> 06:00:42,400
need to look at what the costs and

9239
06:00:42,400 --> 06:00:45,400
what the reimbursements could and

9240
06:00:46,400 --> 06:00:47,400
should be. But if we're going to look

9241
06:00:47,400 --> 06:00:49,400
at events as

9242
06:00:49,400 --> 06:00:50,400
money-making opportunities, we can't

9243
06:00:50,400 --> 06:00:52,400
just look at breaking even.

9244
06:00:52,400 --> 06:00:56,400
we've got to look at how we create events, how we

9245
06:00:56,400 --> 06:00:58,400
create

9246
06:00:59,400 --> 06:01:01,800
--I mean, mega events

9247
06:01:02,400 --> 06:01:04,400
that benefit

9248
06:01:05,400 --> 06:01:07,400
the

9249
06:01:07,400 --> 06:01:08,400
city reimbursed for expenses. I'm

9250
06:01:08,400 --> 06:01:10,400
sure that we will get

9251
06:01:10,400 --> 06:01:11,400
there. We're not quite as far along

9252
06:01:11,400 --> 06:01:13,400
as we'd like to

9253
06:01:13,400 --> 06:01:14,400
be. But just looking at getting paid

9254
06:01:14,400 --> 06:01:16,400
back

9255
06:01:17,400 --> 06:01:18,400
for what we spend is not the way

9256
06:01:18,400 --> 06:01:20,400
to look at the benefits to the city.

9257
06:01:20,400 --> 06:01:22,400
I think

9258
06:01:22,400 --> 06:01:23,400
that , you know, regardless of who

9259
06:01:23,400 --> 06:01:25,400
goes to the super bowl,

9260
06:01:25,400 --> 06:01:26,400
who wins the super bowl, you know,

9261
06:01:26,400 --> 06:01:28,400
the fact that

9262
06:01:29,400 --> 06:01:30,400
we're in the super bowl again, the fact

9263
06:01:30,400 --> 06:01:31,400
that

9264
06:01:31,400 --> 06:01:32,400
we're hosting the super bowl again, I

9265
06:01:32,400 --> 06:01:34,400
think

9266
06:01:34,400 --> 06:01:35,400
we've already gotten some, some additional monies

9267
06:01:35,400 --> 06:01:37,400
that we never

9268
06:01:38,400 --> 06:01:40,400
would have expected. And at this

9269
06:01:40,400 --> 06:01:41,400
point, rather than look at this one-

9270
06:01:41,400 --> 06:01:43,400
dimensional

9271
06:01:43,400 --> 06:01:44,400
expenses and reimbursements, we need

9272
06:01:44,400 --> 06:01:46,400
to start looking at the

9273
06:01:46,400 --> 06:01:47,400
total picture on how we can make santa

9274
06:01:47,400 --> 06:01:49,400
clara a destination

9275
06:01:49,400 --> 06:01:50,400
that everybody wants to go to and

9276
06:01:50,400 --> 06:01:52,400
have

9277
06:01:52,400 --> 06:01:53,400
retail and have shops hotels that

9278
06:01:53,400 --> 06:01:55,400
people want

9279
06:01:56,400 --> 06:01:58,400
to stay in so that we make

9280
06:01:58,400 --> 06:01:59,400
money in a lot more ways than just

9281
06:01:59,400 --> 06:02:00,400
getting reimbursed

9282
06:02:00,400 --> 06:02:01,400
for expenses. Thank you.

9283
06:02:01,400 --> 06:02:03,400
>> councilmember jain?

9284
06:02:08,400 --> 06:02:10,400
>> I'm a little

9285
06:02:10,400 --> 06:02:11,400
confused about how this is risky in

9286
06:02:11,400 --> 06:02:13,400
that if stadco

9287
06:02:13,400 --> 06:02:14,400
is unable to pay the $6. 4 million,

9288
06:02:14,400 --> 06:02:16,800
how are they going

9289
06:02:17,400 --> 06:02:19,800
to pay the $24 million

9290
06:02:20,400 --> 06:02:22,400
of stadium lease

9291
06:02:22,400 --> 06:02:23,400
or stadium rent annually? It just

9292
06:02:23,400 --> 06:02:25,400
doesn't make any

9293
06:02:25,400 --> 06:02:26,400
sense to me. And then I think that

9294
06:02:26,400 --> 06:02:28,400
something that I

9295
06:02:29,400 --> 06:02:31,400
brought up in the last

9296
06:02:31,400 --> 06:02:32,400
item was, base risky. All this money

9297
06:02:32,400 --> 06:02:34,400
we're shelling out

9298
06:02:35,400 --> 06:02:37,400
for all of this community engagement.

9299
06:02:37,400 --> 06:02:38,400
there's no backstop to that. The city

9300
06:02:38,400 --> 06:02:40,400
manager said

9301
06:02:40,400 --> 06:02:41,400
that's going to come from stadium

9302
06:02:41,400 --> 06:02:43,400
authority

9303
06:02:44,400 --> 06:02:46,400
money. So --emotionally.

9304
06:02:46,400 --> 06:02:47,400
and so on I don't see there's any

9305
06:02:47,400 --> 06:02:49,400
backstop for that.

9306
06:02:50,400 --> 06:02:53,400
so that's risky. So I don't see

9307
06:02:53,400 --> 06:02:54,400
any risk here. I'm going to be voting for this.

9308
06:02:54,400 --> 06:02:56,400
>> thank you.

9309
06:03:01,400 --> 06:03:02,400
councilmember suds.

9310
06:03:02,400 --> 06:03:03,400
>> thank you.

9311
06:03:03,400 --> 06:03:04,400
we learned

9312
06:03:04,400 --> 06:03:05,400
from the history. We conducted super bowl

9313
06:03:05,400 --> 06:03:07,400
50. And I'm

9314
06:03:07,400 --> 06:03:10,400
thankful to the staff, city manager

9315
06:03:10,400 --> 06:03:11,400
office, city attorney's office, who

9316
06:03:11,400 --> 06:03:13,400
looked at --

9317
06:03:14,400 --> 06:03:17,400
deeply looked at the super bowl

9318
06:03:17,400 --> 06:03:19,400
50 contracts and what went

9319
06:03:19,400 --> 06:03:20,400
wrong, and they have improved this

9320
06:03:20,400 --> 06:03:21,400
contractand

9321
06:03:21,400 --> 06:03:23,400
that's what it makes sense when they're

9322
06:03:23,400 --> 06:03:25,400
assuring that these are the

9323
06:03:25,400 --> 06:03:26,400
improvements we already made from the contract of super bowl

9324
06:03:26,400 --> 06:03:28,400
50.

9325
06:03:32,400 --> 06:03:33,400
we have to believe in them. We have

9326
06:03:33,400 --> 06:03:35,800
to accept their expertise.

9327
06:03:38,400 --> 06:03:39,400
and on top of

9328
06:03:39,400 --> 06:03:41,400
that, there was no backstop guarantee in super bowl

9329
06:03:41,400 --> 06:03:43,400
50 at all. Nothing.

9330
06:03:44,400 --> 06:03:46,400
and here we

9331
06:03:47,400 --> 06:03:49,400
have a guarantee from an organization

9332
06:03:49,400 --> 06:03:50,400
which pays all the ground rent and

9333
06:03:50,400 --> 06:03:52,400
everything,

9334
06:03:52,400 --> 06:03:53,400
basically all the lending agreements

9335
06:03:53,400 --> 06:03:56,400
are being honored by them.

9336
06:03:56,400 --> 06:03:59,400
like, we had a debt of $683

9337
06:03:59,400 --> 06:04:02,400
million, which is only 200 some

9338
06:04:02,400 --> 06:04:03,400
million debt. $400 million debt came

9339
06:04:03,400 --> 06:04:05,400
from

9340
06:04:05,400 --> 06:04:06,400
stadco, basically. They paid that

9341
06:04:06,400 --> 06:04:08,400
debt.

9342
06:04:08,400 --> 06:04:11,400
so I'm not sure why we

9343
06:04:11,400 --> 06:04:12,400
are stuck on --what's the worst-case

9344
06:04:12,400 --> 06:04:14,400
scenario?

9345
06:04:14,400 --> 06:04:16,400
let's say the total cost is 6.4.

9346
06:04:16,400 --> 06:04:17,400
they already will be paying 3.2 by december.

9347
06:04:17,400 --> 06:04:19,400
christmas.

9348
06:04:20,400 --> 06:04:22,400
and

9349
06:04:23,400 --> 06:04:25,400
3. 2 is left.

9350
06:04:26,400 --> 06:04:29,400
and there's a further mechanism

9351
06:04:29,400 --> 06:04:32,400
we are going to do generally

9352
06:04:32,400 --> 06:04:34,400
on that, so

9353
06:04:35,400 --> 06:04:37,400
the expenses.

9354
06:04:37,400 --> 06:04:38,400
so I think there's a reason we sign

9355
06:04:38,400 --> 06:04:40,400
contracts. There's a

9356
06:04:40,400 --> 06:04:41,400
reason the city attorney puts in their

9357
06:04:41,400 --> 06:04:43,400
labor. There's a

9358
06:04:43,400 --> 06:04:44,400
reason city manager and his staff

9359
06:04:44,400 --> 06:04:46,400
negotiate these

9360
06:04:47,400 --> 06:04:49,400
things. So I'm confident about

9361
06:04:49,400 --> 06:04:50,400
this, this will go smooth, and we

9362
06:04:50,400 --> 06:04:51,400
will get paid for this thing.

9363
06:04:51,400 --> 06:04:53,400
thank you. I'll support the motion.

9364
06:04:53,400 --> 06:04:55,800
>> councilmember gonzalez? >> I'll be

9365
06:04:56,400 --> 06:04:58,400
quick.

9366
06:04:58,400 --> 06:04:59,400
I think everyone really is here to

9367
06:04:59,400 --> 06:05:02,400
support the city and protect

9368
06:05:02,400 --> 06:05:04,400
the city. Both the mayor and I are

9369
06:05:04,400 --> 06:05:05,400
distinctly representatives of district

9370
06:05:05,400 --> 06:05:07,400
1.

9371
06:05:08,400 --> 06:05:11,400
and I think, you know,

9372
06:05:11,400 --> 06:05:14,400
the issues that come out from

9373
06:05:14,400 --> 06:05:17,400
events and the different concerns

9374
06:05:17,400 --> 06:05:19,800
that our residents havehave

9375
06:05:20,400 --> 06:05:21,400
devilish

9376
06:05:21,400 --> 06:05:23,400
ewes and concerns that the mayor and I

9377
06:05:23,400 --> 06:05:25,400
distinctly have. I think as we

9378
06:05:25,400 --> 06:05:26,400
move forward with not only super bowl

9379
06:05:26,400 --> 06:05:29,400
and fifa and just the

9380
06:05:29,400 --> 06:05:30,400
normal aspect of events, that's something

9381
06:05:30,400 --> 06:05:32,400
that --

9382
06:05:32,400 --> 06:05:33,400
I know that we both take that really

9383
06:05:33,400 --> 06:05:35,400
at

9384
06:05:35,400 --> 06:05:36,400
heart to how we can make sure our

9385
06:05:36,400 --> 06:05:38,400
residents there

9386
06:05:38,400 --> 06:05:41,400
are really not only part of

9387
06:05:41,400 --> 06:05:44,400
that area, but are also entrusted

9388
06:05:44,400 --> 06:05:47,400
and also have some benefit from that

9389
06:05:47,400 --> 06:05:50,400
well. Because I think I mentioned

9390
06:05:50,400 --> 06:05:51,400
in some previous meeting, six fifa

9391
06:05:51,400 --> 06:05:52,400
games, it would

9392
06:05:52,400 --> 06:05:54,400
be great to have each one of those games in

9393
06:05:54,400 --> 06:05:55,400
each one of the districts so

9394
06:05:55,400 --> 06:05:57,400
different councilmembers can see what

9395
06:05:57,400 --> 06:05:58,400
that entails.

9396
06:05:58,400 --> 06:06:00,400
the reality, definitely I know that

9397
06:06:00,400 --> 06:06:01,400
every one of us cares

9398
06:06:01,400 --> 06:06:05,400
about the city and making sure that

9399
06:06:05,400 --> 06:06:06,400
the city is secure in its endeavors.

9400
06:06:06,400 --> 06:06:07,400
>> thank you.

9401
06:06:07,400 --> 06:06:08,400
city clerk, when you're ready.

9402
06:06:08,400 --> 06:06:09,400
>>

9403
06:06:09,400 --> 06:06:10,400
actually, I

9404
06:06:10,400 --> 06:06:11,400
believe I have a comment.

9405
06:06:11,400 --> 06:06:12,400
>> you've spoken

9406
06:06:12,400 --> 06:06:13,400
already --

9407
06:06:13,400 --> 06:06:14,400
>> I think this is about --

9408
06:06:14,400 --> 06:06:19,200
>> it's midnight. >> understood. City clerk, are you ready?

9409
06:06:21,400 --> 06:06:22,400
>> so I

9410
06:06:22,400 --> 06:06:26,600
will repeat the motion on the floor.

9411
06:06:27,400 --> 06:06:29,400
it is staff recommendation

9412
06:06:29,400 --> 06:06:30,400
number one --

9413
06:06:30,400 --> 06:06:31,400
>> I would like to call

9414
06:06:31,400 --> 06:06:33,400
personal privilege to complete my

9415
06:06:33,400 --> 06:06:34,400
comment. This is supposed to be

9416
06:06:34,400 --> 06:06:35,400
about robust discussion.

9417
06:06:35,400 --> 06:06:36,400
>> okay, do you

9418
06:06:36,400 --> 06:06:38,400
have something new to

9419
06:06:38,400 --> 06:06:39,400
say?

9420
06:06:39,400 --> 06:06:40,400
>> I do. >> I'm trying to be

9421
06:06:40,400 --> 06:06:41,400
respectful

9422
06:06:41,400 --> 06:06:43,400
of the time, and we still have two

9423
06:06:43,400 --> 06:06:44,400
more applicants in the audience.

9424
06:06:44,400 --> 06:06:45,400
>> I

9425
06:06:45,400 --> 06:06:46,400
think that's an agenda --

9426
06:06:46,400 --> 06:06:47,400
>> there

9427
06:06:47,400 --> 06:06:48,400
is something new?

9428
06:06:48,400 --> 06:06:49,400
>> agenda management --

9429
06:06:49,400 --> 06:06:50,400
it is something new.

9430
06:06:50,400 --> 06:06:51,400
>> all right. >> I think councilmember jain

9431
06:06:51,400 --> 06:06:53,800
did bring up a

9432
06:06:54,400 --> 06:06:55,400
good point which I somewhat

9433
06:06:55,400 --> 06:06:57,400
rhetorically want to ask, which is

9434
06:06:57,400 --> 06:06:59,400
it's true.

9435
06:07:00,400 --> 06:07:03,400
if stadco cannot pay the $6. 4 million

9436
06:07:03,400 --> 06:07:05,400
for this event, how are they going

9437
06:07:05,400 --> 06:07:09,400
to pay the tens of millions of dollars

9438
06:07:09,400 --> 06:07:11,800
for the standard rent?

9439
06:07:12,400 --> 06:07:13,400
>> so you're just repeating what

9440
06:07:13,400 --> 06:07:14,400
councilmember chahal said.

9441
06:07:14,400 --> 06:07:15,400
>> no,

9442
06:07:15,400 --> 06:07:16,400
but now it was a question. And at

9443
06:07:16,400 --> 06:07:18,400
some point we could try to answer

9444
06:07:18,400 --> 06:07:19,400
this question.

9445
06:07:19,400 --> 06:07:20,400
>> it's rhetorical.

9446
06:07:20,400 --> 06:07:23,400
city clerk, please. Move ahead. I'm moving

9447
06:07:23,400 --> 06:07:24,400

we can get these two done right away

.

9495
06:09:46,400 --> 06:09:47,400
>> do we have to vote if

9496
06:09:47,400 --> 06:09:48,400
we're continuing past midnight?

9497
06:09:48,400 --> 06:09:49,400
>> I

9498
06:09:49,400 --> 06:09:50,400
think the mayor is continuing it

9499
06:09:50,400 --> 06:09:51,400
with the understanding there's consensus

9500
06:09:51,400 --> 06:09:53,400
of the council in order to do

9501
06:09:53,400 --> 06:09:54,400
that to address these items.

9502
06:09:54,400 --> 06:09:55,400
>> these

9503
06:09:55,400 --> 06:09:56,400
people have been waiting. We

9504
06:09:56,400 --> 06:10:03,000
are going to hear their items. Please move ahead, thank you.

9505
06:10:03,400 --> 06:10:05,400
>> thank you.

9506
06:10:06,400 --> 06:10:09,400
so this is for 1530 and

9507
06:10:09,400 --> 06:10:11,400
1540 pomeroy.

9508
06:10:12,400 --> 06:10:15,400
it's the only decision tonight is

9509
06:10:15,400 --> 06:10:16,400
a vesting tentative map. And so this

9510
06:10:16,400 --> 06:10:18,400
will

9511
06:10:18,400 --> 06:10:21,400
allow the merger of two adjacent

9512
06:10:21,400 --> 06:10:23,400
lots on . 48 acres and result in one

9513
06:10:23,400 --> 06:10:28,800
subdivision and allow 11 town homes as well as improvements.

9514
06:10:30,400 --> 06:10:33,400
the site is in the general plan

9515
06:10:33,400 --> 06:10:34,400
in the zoning --

9516
06:10:34,400 --> 06:10:35,400
>> excuse me. Councilmember

9517
06:10:35,400 --> 06:10:36,400
park, if

9518
06:10:36,400 --> 06:10:39,400
you're having a problem, please be

9519
06:10:39,400 --> 06:10:40,400
quiet. Because we are trying to listen

9520
06:10:40,400 --> 06:10:41,400
to the presentation.

9521
06:10:41,400 --> 06:10:42,400
>> there was no call for

9522
06:10:42,400 --> 06:10:44,400
consensus.

9523
06:10:46,400 --> 06:10:50,600
>> what do I do, city attorney, please?

9524
06:10:53,400 --> 06:10:54,400
>> madam mayor, I think you are acting

9525
06:10:54,400 --> 06:10:56,400
as presiding officer

9526
06:10:56,400 --> 06:10:57,400
with the understanding there was support

9527
06:10:57,400 --> 06:11:00,400
for continuing from the item, then

9528
06:11:00,400 --> 06:11:02,400
proceeding informally. If

9529
06:11:03,400 --> 06:11:04,400
a council --I may be speculating.

9530
06:11:04,400 --> 06:11:06,400
if

9531
06:11:06,400 --> 06:11:07,400
a councilperson wants to require a

9532
06:11:07,400 --> 06:11:09,400
vote in

9533
06:11:09,400 --> 06:11:11,400
order to continue under our

9534
06:11:11,400 --> 06:11:12,400
pending protocols, a councilmember

9535
06:11:12,400 --> 06:11:14,400
could do that.

9536
06:11:15,400 --> 06:11:18,400
but you also, I believe mayor,

9537
06:11:18,400 --> 06:11:20,800
have the authority as

9538
06:11:21,400 --> 06:11:23,400
presiding officer

9539
06:11:23,400 --> 06:11:24,400
to assess the consensus or support of

9540
06:11:24,400 --> 06:11:26,400
the

9541
06:11:27,400 --> 06:11:28,400
council to proceed. So I think it's

9542
06:11:28,400 --> 06:11:30,400
a matter

9543
06:11:30,400 --> 06:11:32,400
of if a councilmember wants to

9544
06:11:32,400 --> 06:11:33,400
require a specific vote, they could.

9545
06:11:33,400 --> 06:11:35,400
>> all right,

9546
06:11:35,400 --> 06:11:36,400
councilmember hardy?

9547
06:11:36,400 --> 06:11:37,400
>> I'll make

9548
06:11:37,400 --> 06:11:38,400
a motion to continue

9549
06:11:38,400 --> 06:11:42,400
the meeting for the two items that we have.

9550
06:11:42,400 --> 06:11:43,400
>> is there a second? >> I'll second.

9551
06:11:43,400 --> 06:11:44,400
>> we have

9552
06:11:44,400 --> 06:11:47,400
a motion and a second to continue

9553
06:11:47,400 --> 06:11:49,400
the item records councilmember park,

9554
06:11:49,400 --> 06:11:52,400
gone zeal lez? Okay. Park? Jain?

9555
06:11:52,400 --> 06:11:54,400
councilmember jain? Okay.

9556
06:11:54,400 --> 06:11:59,200
please continue. Oh -- we have to vote.

9557
06:12:25,400 --> 06:12:27,400
it's not to continue the

9558
06:12:27,400 --> 06:12:28,400
items. It's to continue the council

9559
06:12:28,400 --> 06:12:30,400
meeting.

9560
06:12:30,400 --> 06:12:31,400
>> yes, I'll fix it. >> because that's

9561
06:12:31,400 --> 06:12:32,400
not what it says.

9562
06:12:32,400 --> 06:12:34,400
>> continue with. >> okay, to continue with this

9563
06:12:34,400 --> 06:12:36,400
item.

9564
06:12:37,400 --> 06:12:39,800
and that passes 5-2.

9565
06:12:40,400 --> 06:12:41,400
thank you. All right.

9566
06:12:41,400 --> 06:12:42,400
please continue.

9567
06:12:42,400 --> 06:12:44,400
>> okay, thank you.

9568
06:12:46,400 --> 06:12:49,400
so, both of these lots are

9569
06:12:49,400 --> 06:12:51,400
on pomeroy. 1540 is a mixed-

9570
06:12:51,400 --> 06:12:52,400
use community commercial, and 1530

9571
06:12:52,400 --> 06:12:54,400
is

9572
06:12:54,400 --> 06:12:55,400
medium-density residential. I will not go into all of the

9573
06:12:55,400 --> 06:12:57,400
details here.

9574
06:13:01,400 --> 06:13:03,400
so on may 14th, it

9575
06:13:03,400 --> 06:13:06,400
went before development review hearing,

9576
06:13:06,400 --> 06:13:07,400
and it was approved for 11 town homes.

9577
06:13:07,400 --> 06:13:12,200
the town homes are three stories in height.

9578
06:13:13,400 --> 06:13:14,400
1540 will have six town homes,

9579
06:13:14,400 --> 06:13:18,000
and 1530 will have five town homes.

9580
06:13:19,400 --> 06:13:22,400
there is a chart here that

9581
06:13:22,400 --> 06:13:24,400
explains

9582
06:13:25,400 --> 06:13:27,400
number of bedrooms is three bedrooms.

9583
06:13:27,400 --> 06:13:28,400
they will have a bedroom on the ground

9584
06:13:28,400 --> 06:13:30,400
floor as well.

9585
06:13:31,400 --> 06:13:33,400
1530 pomeroy is 1970 square

9586
06:13:34,400 --> 06:13:36,400
feet. 1540 pomeroy, the town

9587
06:13:36,400 --> 06:13:37,400
hopes will be 2370 square feet. They

9588
06:13:37,400 --> 06:13:39,400
are

9589
06:13:40,400 --> 06:13:42,400
within the density

9590
06:13:43,400 --> 06:13:45,800
range, between 20 to 36 dua.

9591
06:13:49,400 --> 06:13:50,400
this is the

9592
06:13:50,400 --> 06:13:52,400
vesting tenttive map on which you

9593
06:13:52,400 --> 06:13:54,400
will be considering an action

9594
06:13:54,400 --> 06:13:57,400
for tonight. Staff put up a site plan

9595
06:13:57,400 --> 06:13:58,400
just because the site plan shows a

9596
06:13:58,400 --> 06:14:00,400
cleaner

9597
06:14:01,400 --> 06:14:03,400
version. There's a

9598
06:14:04,400 --> 06:14:06,800
off --off pomeroy, there's

9599
06:14:07,400 --> 06:14:09,400
a private access

9600
06:14:10,400 --> 06:14:13,400
road for the development. There are

9601
06:14:13,400 --> 06:14:14,400
six town homes for

9602
06:14:14,400 --> 06:14:17,400
1540 and five town homes for 1530.

9603
06:14:21,400 --> 06:14:22,400
there's a common open space which

9604
06:14:22,400 --> 06:14:24,400
is going

9605
06:14:25,400 --> 06:14:28,400
to be private. It's in the back. It's

9606
06:14:28,400 --> 06:14:30,400
set

9607
06:14:31,400 --> 06:14:34,400
back as well from pomeroy.

9608
06:14:34,400 --> 06:14:35,400
the considerations

9609
06:14:35,400 --> 06:14:37,400
for tonight are consistency with the

9610
06:14:37,400 --> 06:14:40,400
general plan and the zoning

9611
06:14:40,400 --> 06:14:43,400
code and the subdivision map

9612
06:14:43,400 --> 06:14:46,400
act. It requires consistency on

9613
06:14:46,400 --> 06:14:48,400
june 3rd, 2025. The

9614
06:14:48,400 --> 06:14:49,400
subdivision clearance committee reviewed

9615
06:14:49,400 --> 06:14:51,400
the

9616
06:14:52,400 --> 06:14:54,400
vtn and proposed --the proposed

9617
06:14:54,400 --> 06:14:55,400
vtm is consistent, including the site

9618
06:14:55,400 --> 06:14:57,400
plan and the

9619
06:14:57,400 --> 06:14:58,400
improvements, which include the surface

9620
06:14:58,400 --> 06:15:00,400
parking

9621
06:15:01,400 --> 06:15:02,400
lot, landscape, associated utilities.

9622
06:15:02,400 --> 06:15:03,400
on

9623
06:15:03,400 --> 06:15:04,400
may 14th, it went before development

9624
06:15:04,400 --> 06:15:06,400
review

9625
06:15:07,400 --> 06:15:08,400
hearing for

9626
06:15:08,400 --> 06:15:10,400
architectural review. And the project

9627
06:15:10,400 --> 06:15:13,400
is consistent with the general

9628
06:15:13,400 --> 06:15:14,400
plan and zoning. And the scale of

9629
06:15:14,400 --> 06:15:16,400
the

9630
06:15:16,400 --> 06:15:18,400
development as conditioned is also

9631
06:15:18,400 --> 06:15:19,400
consistent. The project is also consistent

9632
06:15:19,400 --> 06:15:21,400
with

9633
06:15:22,400 --> 06:15:23,400
the density range of 20 to

9634
06:15:23,400 --> 06:15:28,200
30 units per acre as in the zoning code.

9635
06:15:28,400 --> 06:15:30,800
public outreach. On march

9636
06:15:31,400 --> 06:15:33,400
13th,

9637
06:15:34,400 --> 06:15:36,400
2024, the applicant

9638
06:15:36,400 --> 06:15:37,400
conducted a hybrid community meeting.

9639
06:15:37,400 --> 06:15:40,400
six members of the public

9640
06:15:40,400 --> 06:15:42,400
appeared in person, and four members

9641
06:15:42,400 --> 06:15:45,400
attended virtually. There was some

9642
06:15:46,400 --> 06:15:48,400
discussion about

9643
06:15:49,400 --> 06:15:50,400
architecture, allowable

9644
06:15:50,400 --> 06:15:52,400
density, parking, zoning conditions

9645
06:15:52,400 --> 06:15:54,400
are in general it was a

9646
06:15:54,400 --> 06:15:55,400
discussion, there wasn't any kind

9647
06:15:55,400 --> 06:15:57,800
of pushback on the

9648
06:15:58,400 --> 06:15:59,400
project itself. The applicant has

9649
06:15:59,400 --> 06:16:01,400
revised

9650
06:16:01,400 --> 06:16:02,400
the elevations as a result of those

9651
06:16:02,400 --> 06:16:03,400
comments

9652
06:16:03,400 --> 06:16:04,400
with some vertical distinction between

9653
06:16:04,400 --> 06:16:06,400
the units,

9654
06:16:06,400 --> 06:16:07,400
aligning the windows, and simplifying the

9655
06:16:07,400 --> 06:16:09,400
form.

9656
06:16:09,400 --> 06:16:10,400
again, it was approved through a development

9657
06:16:10,400 --> 06:16:13,400
review hearing on may 14th.

9658
06:16:13,400 --> 06:16:14,400
the

9659
06:16:14,400 --> 06:16:18,000
ceqa analysis. This is an addendum.

9660
06:16:19,400 --> 06:16:21,400
to

9661
06:16:22,400 --> 06:16:24,400
1530/1540 pomeroy.

9662
06:16:25,400 --> 06:16:27,400
project is a

9663
06:16:28,400 --> 06:16:30,800
is/mnd. The addendum

9664
06:16:31,400 --> 06:16:33,400
concluded pursuant to

9665
06:16:34,400 --> 06:16:35,400
ceqa guidelines 15164, no

9666
06:16:35,400 --> 06:16:37,400
subsequent declaration is necessary.

9667
06:16:37,400 --> 06:16:39,400
the project did go to planning

9668
06:16:39,400 --> 06:16:40,400
commission on august 13, and there

9669
06:16:40,400 --> 06:16:42,400
was

9670
06:16:42,400 --> 06:16:46,000
discussion about the conformance of the

9671
06:16:46,400 --> 06:16:48,400
setbacks counting toward

9672
06:16:49,400 --> 06:16:51,800
rhna numbers. Parking meeting

9673
06:16:52,400 --> 06:16:53,400
code, and the parking does meet code,

9674
06:16:53,400 --> 06:16:54,400
our

9675
06:16:54,400 --> 06:16:55,400
zoning code requirements. Re vuft

9676
06:16:55,400 --> 06:16:57,400
cc and rs.

9677
06:16:58,400 --> 06:17:01,400
and it was really just how are they

9678
06:17:01,400 --> 06:17:02,400
reviewed? And it was explained the city

9679
06:17:02,400 --> 06:17:04,400
attorney's office

9680
06:17:04,400 --> 06:17:06,400
reviews the cc and rs. It was

9681
06:17:06,400 --> 06:17:07,400
a process question. Previous proposal

9682
06:17:07,400 --> 06:17:09,400
and modifications.

9683
06:17:09,400 --> 06:17:10,400
and then providing afor the recordable

9684
06:17:10,400 --> 06:17:12,800
units. They are providing

9685
06:17:13,400 --> 06:17:16,400
one affordable unit, which is a

9686
06:17:16,400 --> 06:17:17,400
moderate unit. And then the remaining will

9687
06:17:17,400 --> 06:17:18,400
be

9688
06:17:18,400 --> 06:17:22,400
an in lieu fee. One public speaker

9689
06:17:22,400 --> 06:17:25,400
spoke about the impact to a

9690
06:17:25,400 --> 06:17:27,400
multi-family house at 1360

9691
06:17:27,400 --> 06:17:28,400
calabazas, but it's determined that's

9692
06:17:28,400 --> 06:17:31,400
a different site, it wasn't this particular site.

9693
06:17:31,400 --> 06:17:33,400
so based

9694
06:17:34,400 --> 06:17:35,400
on conformance with thethe plan, zoning

9695
06:17:35,400 --> 06:17:37,400
code, housing

9696
06:17:37,400 --> 06:17:38,400
element, the planning commission recommendation,

9697
06:17:38,400 --> 06:17:39,400
staff is

9698
06:17:39,400 --> 06:17:40,400
also recommending that city council

9699
06:17:40,400 --> 06:17:42,400
find

9700
06:17:42,400 --> 06:17:43,400
the proposed subdivision falls within

9701
06:17:43,400 --> 06:17:46,400
the scope of the adopted

9702
06:17:46,400 --> 06:17:48,400
ceqa addendum prepared for

9703
06:17:48,400 --> 06:17:49,400
the project, and no further analysis

9704
06:17:49,400 --> 06:17:51,400
is required.

9705
06:17:52,400 --> 06:17:55,400
and a resolution approving the vesting

9706
06:17:55,400 --> 06:17:56,400
tentative map to merge two parcels

9707
06:17:56,400 --> 06:17:57,400
and create

9708
06:17:57,400 --> 06:17:58,400
one-lot subdivision for the purposes

9709
06:17:58,400 --> 06:18:00,400
of 11

9710
06:18:02,400 --> 06:18:04,400
town homes and common area

9711
06:18:04,400 --> 06:18:05,400
at 1530/1540 pomeroy subject to the

9712
06:18:05,400 --> 06:18:07,400
findings

9713
06:18:08,400 --> 06:18:11,400
and conditions of approval. The

9714
06:18:11,400 --> 06:18:13,400
applicant for the

9715
06:18:14,400 --> 06:18:15,400
project omid is here

9716
06:18:15,400 --> 06:18:17,400
tonight and available for any questions,

9717
06:18:17,400 --> 06:18:18,400
thank you.

9718
06:18:18,400 --> 06:18:19,400
>> first I'm going to

9719
06:18:19,400 --> 06:18:20,400
ask if there's any questions of our

9720
06:18:20,400 --> 06:18:23,400
staff. Our community development director.

9721
06:18:23,400 --> 06:18:25,400
councilmember jain?

9722
06:18:38,400 --> 06:18:40,400
>> 1530

9723
06:18:40,400 --> 06:18:42,400
pomeroy has one-car garage but then five

9724
06:18:42,400 --> 06:18:43,400
unbundled surface parking spots which

9725
06:18:43,400 --> 06:18:48,200
would actually make it two cars per unit.

9726
06:18:50,400 --> 06:18:51,400
how does the unbundled parking

9727
06:18:51,400 --> 06:18:53,400
work? Typically somebody pays for it,

9728
06:18:53,400 --> 06:18:54,400
right? If

9729
06:18:54,400 --> 06:18:56,400
you're in an apartment complex and

9730
06:18:56,400 --> 06:18:57,400
you unbundle

9731
06:18:57,400 --> 06:18:59,400
the parking, somebody has to pay for

9732
06:18:59,400 --> 06:19:00,400
that. So

9733
06:19:00,400 --> 06:19:05,200
I'm trying to understand that concept of unbundled.

9734
06:19:06,400 --> 06:19:08,400
>> so, I do know that it's meeting

9735
06:19:08,400 --> 06:19:10,400
the code, and our code

9736
06:19:10,400 --> 06:19:11,400
actually encourages unbundled parking.

9737
06:19:11,400 --> 06:19:13,400
I also

9738
06:19:14,400 --> 06:19:17,400
know that the parking isis the

9739
06:19:17,400 --> 06:19:19,400
requirements for

9740
06:19:20,400 --> 06:19:21,400
the number of 1. 5 spaces for

9741
06:19:21,400 --> 06:19:22,400
the units. Would you like to talk

9742
06:19:22,400 --> 06:19:23,400
about how you're doing the unbundled

9743
06:19:23,400 --> 06:19:25,400
parking?

9744
06:19:32,400 --> 06:19:33,400
>> are you the applicant? >> yes,

9745
06:19:33,400 --> 06:19:35,400
good evening madam mayor, members of

9746
06:19:35,400 --> 06:19:36,400
the council.

9747
06:19:36,400 --> 06:19:38,400
>> this

9748
06:19:38,400 --> 06:19:40,400
doesn't count toward

9749
06:19:40,400 --> 06:19:41,400
your time.

9750
06:19:41,400 --> 06:19:42,400
>> shakeri, and I'm the

9751
06:19:42,400 --> 06:19:44,400
applicant.

9752
06:19:47,400 --> 06:19:48,400
we provided the parking --

9753
06:19:48,400 --> 06:19:50,400
unbundled parking based on the development requirement of the

9754
06:19:50,400 --> 06:19:52,400
city.

9755
06:19:56,400 --> 06:19:58,400
the city requires 1. 5

9756
06:19:58,400 --> 06:19:59,400
parking spaces per unit. Half of that

9757
06:19:59,400 --> 06:20:01,400
has to be

9758
06:20:02,400 --> 06:20:03,400
unbundled. So that

9759
06:20:03,400 --> 06:20:05,400
is why actually see exceed the number of

9760
06:20:05,400 --> 06:20:07,400
parking spaces. That is required.

9761
06:20:07,400 --> 06:20:08,400
>> thank you. So that was our only

9762
06:20:08,400 --> 06:20:10,400
council question.

9763
06:20:10,400 --> 06:20:11,400
you're the applicant. This is a public

9764
06:20:11,400 --> 06:20:12,400
hearing.

9765
06:20:12,400 --> 06:20:13,400
>> yes. >> I want to

9766
06:20:13,400 --> 06:20:14,400
make sure you get your time as well

9767
06:20:14,400 --> 06:20:15,400
to make your presentation.

9768
06:20:15,400 --> 06:20:17,400
>> I appreciate it.

9769
06:20:19,400 --> 06:20:20,400
>> councilmember jain? >> my question

9770
06:20:20,400 --> 06:20:22,400
was

9771
06:20:23,400 --> 06:20:25,400
not answered.

9772
06:20:25,400 --> 06:20:26,400
typically in an apartment complex, when you

9773
06:20:26,400 --> 06:20:27,400
have

9774
06:20:27,400 --> 06:20:29,400
unbundled, the parking spot doesn't

9775
06:20:29,400 --> 06:20:31,800
come with the unit.

9776
06:20:32,400 --> 06:20:35,400
so are these parking spots, are

9777
06:20:35,400 --> 06:20:36,400
they guest spots?

9778
06:20:36,400 --> 06:20:37,400
>> yes, guest

9779
06:20:37,400 --> 06:20:38,400
parkings, and they're not for rent

9780
06:20:38,400 --> 06:20:40,400
or --it is just for

9781
06:20:40,400 --> 06:20:41,400
all the guests.

9782
06:20:41,400 --> 06:20:42,400
>> guest parking,

9783
06:20:42,400 --> 06:20:44,400
okay.

9784
06:20:44,400 --> 06:20:45,400
>> yes. >> and

9785
06:20:45,400 --> 06:20:46,400
the homeowners' association can decide

9786
06:20:46,400 --> 06:20:47,400
if they want to allocate that to the

9787
06:20:47,400 --> 06:20:48,400
residents?

9788
06:20:48,400 --> 06:20:50,400
>> that is correct.

9789
06:20:50,400 --> 06:20:52,400
>> I understand.

9790
06:20:52,400 --> 06:20:53,400
>> allocation by the --would be kept

9791
06:20:53,400 --> 06:20:54,400
mostly for

9792
06:20:54,400 --> 06:20:55,400
guest parking.

9793
06:20:55,400 --> 06:20:56,400
>> thank you. That's

9794
06:20:56,400 --> 06:20:57,400
all I wanted to know, thank you.

9795
06:20:57,400 --> 06:20:58,400
>> thank

9796
06:20:58,400 --> 06:20:59,400
you.

9797
06:20:59,400 --> 06:21:00,400
>> again, thank you. This is

9798
06:21:00,400 --> 06:21:01,400
a public hearing. You have a

9799
06:21:01,400 --> 06:21:02,400
chance now, if you'd like to make

9800
06:21:02,400 --> 06:21:04,400
a presentation. This is your time.

9801
06:21:04,400 --> 06:21:05,400
>> I know you had a very long evening.

9802
06:21:05,400 --> 06:21:07,400
>> that's okay.

9803
06:21:07,400 --> 06:21:08,400
no, we appreciate it. If you would

9804
06:21:08,400 --> 06:21:10,400
like to say

9805
06:21:10,400 --> 06:21:11,400
something.

9806
06:21:11,400 --> 06:21:12,400
>> just that --answer any

9807
06:21:12,400 --> 06:21:14,400
questions you

9808
06:21:14,400 --> 06:21:16,400
have. I think planning

9809
06:21:16,400 --> 06:21:17,400
director actually did a fantastic

9810
06:21:17,400 --> 06:21:20,400
job in presenting our proposal.

9811
06:21:20,400 --> 06:21:22,400
so if there is a question,

9812
06:21:22,400 --> 06:21:23,400
I'd be more than glad.

9813
06:21:23,400 --> 06:21:24,400
>> does anyone have any

9814
06:21:24,400 --> 06:21:26,400
questions for the applicant?

9815
06:21:26,400 --> 06:21:29,400
if not, we're going to go to

9816
06:21:29,400 --> 06:21:31,400
the public. Thank you very much.

9817
06:21:31,400 --> 06:21:32,400
stay close in case you have a chance

9818
06:21:32,400 --> 06:21:34,400
to come back. This is a public hearing.

9819
06:21:34,400 --> 06:21:35,400
is there any member of the public that

9820
06:21:35,400 --> 06:21:36,400
would like to make any comments about this

9821
06:21:36,400 --> 06:21:38,400
application?

9822
06:21:41,400 --> 06:21:42,400
do we have anyone online? No? Is there

9823
06:21:42,400 --> 06:21:46,000
a motion to close public hearing?

9824
06:21:47,400 --> 06:21:48,400
councilmember gonzalez.

9825
06:21:48,400 --> 06:21:49,400
>> so

9826
06:21:49,400 --> 06:21:50,400
moved.

9827
06:21:50,400 --> 06:21:52,400
>> second. >> we have a motion

9828
06:21:52,400 --> 06:21:53,400
by councilmember gonzalez, second

9829
06:21:53,400 --> 06:21:55,400
by

9830
06:21:56,400 --> 06:21:59,400
councilmember chahal. Close public hearing.

9831
06:21:59,400 --> 06:22:02,400
city clerk, when you're ready.

9832
06:22:07,400 --> 06:22:08,400
councilmember park, your light's on

9833
06:22:08,400 --> 06:22:10,400
for closing

9834
06:22:10,400 --> 06:22:11,400
the public hearing?

9835
06:22:11,400 --> 06:22:13,400
>> no. >> all right.

9836
06:22:14,400 --> 06:22:16,800
please register your vote.

9837
06:22:23,400 --> 06:22:25,400
that passes unanimously.

9838
06:22:26,400 --> 06:22:28,400
so councilmember park?

9839
06:22:29,400 --> 06:22:31,400
>>

9840
06:22:32,400 --> 06:22:33,400
yes. So I understand that this

9841
06:22:33,400 --> 06:22:35,400
meeting's going very quickly, but I

9842
06:22:35,400 --> 06:22:36,400
do have some questions, comments.

9843
06:22:36,400 --> 06:22:38,400
I

9844
06:22:38,400 --> 06:22:39,400
do know this place very well. I know

9845
06:22:39,400 --> 06:22:41,400
that we previously

9846
06:22:41,400 --> 06:22:43,800
had a number of

9847
06:22:44,400 --> 06:22:46,400
higher-density projects proposed for

9848
06:22:46,400 --> 06:22:47,400
this area. I mean, there's one across

9849
06:22:47,400 --> 06:22:50,400
the way that had only

9850
06:22:50,400 --> 06:22:52,400
five units. And one of the reasons

9851
06:22:52,400 --> 06:22:53,400
that we had traditionally pushed back

9852
06:22:53,400 --> 06:22:55,400
on this area

9853
06:22:56,400 --> 06:22:59,400
is, this is where the road narrows quite a

9854
06:22:59,400 --> 06:23:02,400
bit. As you get past the

9855
06:23:02,400 --> 06:23:05,400
creek, it goes down to two lanes.

9856
06:23:05,400 --> 06:23:06,400
and those are two very narrow lanes

9857
06:23:06,400 --> 06:23:07,400
without additional --

9858
06:23:07,400 --> 06:23:08,400
and that's, I believe, where this

9859
06:23:08,400 --> 06:23:10,800
project is. I mean,

9860
06:23:11,400 --> 06:23:14,400
the concerns at the time were

9861
06:23:14,400 --> 06:23:17,400
ingress/egress for the amount of traffic

9862
06:23:17,400 --> 06:23:18,400
that this would be generating. You

9863
06:23:18,400 --> 06:23:19,400
know, in

9864
06:23:19,400 --> 06:23:20,400
a place where it was pretty much bottlenecked

9865
06:23:20,400 --> 06:23:22,400
along pomeroy.

9866
06:23:23,400 --> 06:23:25,400
I do know

9867
06:23:26,400 --> 06:23:27,400
that if some of the people who live

9868
06:23:27,400 --> 06:23:29,400
there, you

9869
06:23:29,400 --> 06:23:30,400
know, hadn't left or gone away in

9870
06:23:30,400 --> 06:23:31,400
some way

9871
06:23:31,400 --> 06:23:32,400
or another that this would be the

9872
06:23:32,400 --> 06:23:33,400
biggest issue that they brought up for this project as

9873
06:23:33,400 --> 06:23:35,400
well.

9874
06:23:35,400 --> 06:23:37,400
I looked a

9875
06:23:38,400 --> 06:23:40,400
little bit at the

9876
06:23:40,400 --> 06:23:41,400
planning commission meeting. I think

9877
06:23:41,400 --> 06:23:43,400
that there was

9878
06:23:44,400 --> 06:23:46,400
some discussion

9879
06:23:47,400 --> 06:23:49,400
about transit. But

9880
06:23:51,400 --> 06:23:53,800
again, I think --

9881
06:23:54,400 --> 06:23:56,400
trying to fit in --trying to fit

9882
06:23:56,400 --> 06:23:57,400
in these units for density, trying

9883
06:23:57,400 --> 06:23:58,400
to

9884
06:23:58,400 --> 06:24:00,400
simply go by numbers and meet the

9885
06:24:00,400 --> 06:24:01,400
code, I think that's --you

9886
06:24:01,400 --> 06:24:03,400
know, that's certainly a way to do

9887
06:24:03,400 --> 06:24:04,400
it, that's

9888
06:24:04,400 --> 06:24:06,400
certainly allowed. But there were

9889
06:24:06,400 --> 06:24:07,400
many projects that were

9890
06:24:07,400 --> 06:24:09,400
proposed for this area. I mean, through

9891
06:24:09,400 --> 06:24:11,400
the years. And if I look at

9892
06:24:11,400 --> 06:24:13,400
those and I remember what the concerns

9893
06:24:13,400 --> 06:24:15,400
were, all of the concerns were the

9894
06:24:15,400 --> 06:24:17,400
amount of

9895
06:24:17,400 --> 06:24:18,400
traffic, the density for that particular place on

9896
06:24:18,400 --> 06:24:20,400
pomeroy.

9897
06:24:21,400 --> 06:24:23,400
did we

9898
06:24:23,400 --> 06:24:24,400
get any comments about this? Did we

9899
06:24:24,400 --> 06:24:25,400
get

9900
06:24:25,400 --> 06:24:30,400
any feedback on this beyond what I can see here?

9901
06:24:30,400 --> 06:24:31,400
>> I

9902
06:24:31,400 --> 06:24:33,400
did take a look at the public comments.

9903
06:24:33,400 --> 06:24:35,400
no, there

9904
06:24:35,400 --> 06:24:38,400
weren't such comments. And councilmember

9905
06:24:39,400 --> 06:24:40,400
park, if I may, I know that there

9906
06:24:40,400 --> 06:24:42,400
were other projects probably prior

9907
06:24:42,400 --> 06:24:44,400
to this. But what's

9908
06:24:44,400 --> 06:24:45,400
really changed is the housing element

9909
06:24:45,400 --> 06:24:47,400
and our

9910
06:24:47,400 --> 06:24:48,400
obligations for rhna. Then the other

9911
06:24:48,400 --> 06:24:50,400
thing

9912
06:24:51,400 --> 06:24:54,400
that's changed is in 2017, we

9913
06:24:54,400 --> 06:24:56,400
were required to meet bmt.

9914
06:24:56,400 --> 06:25:00,400
which is how traffic is now analyzed.

9915
06:25:00,400 --> 06:25:02,400
>> okay, but --all

9916
06:25:03,400 --> 06:25:06,400
right, for rhna and to

9917
06:25:06,400 --> 06:25:08,400
meet vmt don't outweigh

9918
06:25:08,400 --> 06:25:09,400
the safety and other concerns. I mean,

9919
06:25:09,400 --> 06:25:11,400
at some point

9920
06:25:11,400 --> 06:25:12,400
we would still do things from a safety

9921
06:25:12,400 --> 06:25:14,400
perspective and

9922
06:25:14,400 --> 06:25:15,400
from a meets the standards perspective

9923
06:25:15,400 --> 06:25:17,400
above

9924
06:25:17,400 --> 06:25:18,400
and beyond just it meets the numbers.

9925
06:25:18,400 --> 06:25:19,400
at some point

9926
06:25:19,400 --> 06:25:21,400
we were looking at what would be safe

9927
06:25:21,400 --> 06:25:24,400
for that area. Is that

9928
06:25:24,400 --> 06:25:26,400
true? I believe that when we

9929
06:25:26,400 --> 06:25:27,400
denied the project across the way,

9930
06:25:27,400 --> 06:25:29,400
we denied

9931
06:25:30,400 --> 06:25:32,800
that project based on

9932
06:25:33,400 --> 06:25:34,400
a number of --how much

9933
06:25:34,400 --> 06:25:35,400
traffic there would be in a place

9934
06:25:35,400 --> 06:25:38,400
that's down from a school where a

9935
06:25:38,400 --> 06:25:39,400
lot of people do use that as a transit.

9936
06:25:39,400 --> 06:25:42,400
I'm not saying this is going

9937
06:25:42,400 --> 06:25:43,400
to be a reason that I deny the

9938
06:25:43,400 --> 06:25:44,400
project. I just want to make sure

9939
06:25:44,400 --> 06:25:48,000
that we've had the full discussions.

9940
06:25:48,400 --> 06:25:50,400
>> to my knowledge, we have.

9941
06:25:50,400 --> 06:25:54,400
I mean, the project is very close

9942
06:25:54,400 --> 06:25:57,400
to el camino real. It's also very

9943
06:25:57,400 --> 06:26:00,400
close to commercial projects. Right

9944
06:26:00,400 --> 06:26:03,400
on el camino real. It's within walking

9945
06:26:03,400 --> 06:26:05,400
distance of transit. And

9946
06:26:05,400 --> 06:26:06,400
many amenities. So --

9947
06:26:06,400 --> 06:26:07,400
>> it's not the

9948
06:26:07,400 --> 06:26:09,400
amenities.

9949
06:26:09,400 --> 06:26:10,400
it's that that area is a very, you

9950
06:26:10,400 --> 06:26:12,400
know --

9951
06:26:12,400 --> 06:26:15,400
very narrow place. And adding

9952
06:26:15,400 --> 06:26:16,400
more traffic along that

9953
06:26:16,400 --> 06:26:17,400
stretch, that particularparticular

9954
06:26:17,400 --> 06:26:22,800
was seen as not a good thing to do.

9955
06:26:23,400 --> 06:26:24,400
I understand that it's close to amenities.

9956
06:26:24,400 --> 06:26:26,400
you're trying

9957
06:26:26,400 --> 06:26:27,400
to justify the density. But you know,

9958
06:26:27,400 --> 06:26:29,800
at some point --

9959
06:26:30,400 --> 06:26:32,400
my question was,

9960
06:26:32,400 --> 06:26:36,400
is the number of --is it safe for

9961
06:26:36,400 --> 06:26:37,400
the area?

9962
06:26:37,400 --> 06:26:38,400
>> let me take

9963
06:26:38,400 --> 06:26:39,400
that, councilmember. I totally understand

9964
06:26:39,400 --> 06:26:41,400
that you're

9965
06:26:42,400 --> 06:26:44,800
raising a density question.

9966
06:26:45,400 --> 06:26:47,400
what staff articulated

9967
06:26:48,400 --> 06:26:51,400
is that didn't come up in this round

9968
06:26:51,400 --> 06:26:54,400
of public engagement around this project.

9969
06:26:54,400 --> 06:26:56,400
I'll also add, because

9970
06:26:56,400 --> 06:26:57,400
you've referenced safety. In no part

9971
06:26:57,400 --> 06:26:59,400
of

9972
06:26:59,400 --> 06:27:00,400
staff's analysis did they determine

9973
06:27:00,400 --> 06:27:02,400
that adding

9974
06:27:03,400 --> 06:27:05,400
these additional

9975
06:27:06,400 --> 06:27:09,400
units would I can't tell acreate an

9976
06:27:09,400 --> 06:27:10,400
unsafe condition in this area. Understanding

9977
06:27:10,400 --> 06:27:12,400
you're articulating that, you've heard

9978
06:27:12,400 --> 06:27:13,400
that or may think that, but for

9979
06:27:13,400 --> 06:27:15,400
the record staff does not believe

9980
06:27:15,400 --> 06:27:16,400
that adding these units will create

9981
06:27:16,400 --> 06:27:17,400
an

9982
06:27:17,400 --> 06:27:18,400
unsafe condition.

9983
06:27:18,400 --> 06:27:19,400
>> yeah, I mean,

9984
06:27:19,400 --> 06:27:21,400
I'm just bringing it up because

9985
06:27:21,400 --> 06:27:23,400
I happen to know --I happen to

9986
06:27:23,400 --> 06:27:24,400
have spoken at many --

9987
06:27:24,400 --> 06:27:26,400
>> may I respond?

9988
06:27:30,400 --> 06:27:32,400
>> well -->> through the chair? >>

9989
06:27:32,400 --> 06:27:33,400
yes, go ahead.

9990
06:27:33,400 --> 06:27:34,400
>> our planning manager

9991
06:27:34,400 --> 06:27:35,400
just looked up the

9992
06:27:35,400 --> 06:27:36,400
traffic study. And with the traffic

9993
06:27:36,400 --> 06:27:38,400
study with this proposed

9994
06:27:38,400 --> 06:27:39,400
project, it would still maintain a level of

9995
06:27:39,400 --> 06:27:41,400
service of "c.

9996
06:27:42,400 --> 06:27:43,400
"

9997
06:27:43,400 --> 06:27:45,400
>> okay, well --a level of service, which

9998
06:27:45,400 --> 06:27:46,400
is kind of a different thing. I just

9999
06:27:46,400 --> 06:27:48,400
know that

10000
06:27:48,400 --> 06:27:49,400
when we had projects prior to

10001
06:27:49,400 --> 06:27:51,400
this, you know, I've spoken on some of

10002
06:27:51,400 --> 06:27:54,400
these projects. We've had projects

10003
06:27:54,400 --> 06:27:55,400
that had a fraction of the density

10004
06:27:55,400 --> 06:27:57,400
of

10005
06:27:57,400 --> 06:28:00,400
this project, and the issue

10006
06:28:00,400 --> 06:28:03,400
of safety and, you know,

10007
06:28:03,400 --> 06:28:05,400
noting that it was a narrower

10008
06:28:05,400 --> 06:28:06,400
street, that came up and just kind

10009
06:28:06,400 --> 06:28:08,400
of

10010
06:28:08,400 --> 06:28:09,400
surprised that this was not part of --

10011
06:28:09,400 --> 06:28:14,400
did not even come up in staff consideration of this.

10012
06:28:14,400 --> 06:28:15,400
it's just surprising. I'm not saying

10013
06:28:15,400 --> 06:28:16,400
it's.

10014
06:28:16,400 --> 06:28:17,400
>> okay, thank

10015
06:28:17,400 --> 06:28:18,400
you. I'm going to ask the applicant,

10016
06:28:18,400 --> 06:28:23,200
would you like to make any closing statements?

10017
06:28:24,400 --> 06:28:26,400
>> thank you. Actually, there was

10018
06:28:26,400 --> 06:28:27,400
an environmental review done making

10019
06:28:27,400 --> 06:28:29,800
a declaration what it

10020
06:28:30,400 --> 06:28:33,400
found, that there is no significant

10021
06:28:33,400 --> 06:28:34,400
impact on the traffic. And they did

10022
06:28:34,400 --> 06:28:35,400
evaluate

10023
06:28:35,400 --> 06:28:39,000
the traffics and all other issues.

10024
06:28:39,400 --> 06:28:44,200
so as far as concerns from councilmember park.

10025
06:28:48,400 --> 06:28:50,400
also keep in mind we

10026
06:28:50,400 --> 06:28:51,400
are the very low end of the density.

10027
06:28:51,400 --> 06:28:53,800
we're not --we're at

10028
06:28:54,400 --> 06:28:56,400
20 units per acre. We could have

10029
06:28:56,400 --> 06:28:57,400
done significantly more units there,

10030
06:28:57,400 --> 06:28:59,400
but

10031
06:29:00,400 --> 06:29:01,400
we did keep it where it is to make

10032
06:29:01,400 --> 06:29:02,400
sure

10033
06:29:02,400 --> 06:29:03,400
to have that in mind also.

10034
06:29:03,400 --> 06:29:04,400
>> thank

10035
06:29:04,400 --> 06:29:05,400
you very much.

10036
06:29:05,400 --> 06:29:06,400
councilmember conzal ges?

10037
06:29:06,400 --> 06:29:07,400
>> thank

10038
06:29:07,400 --> 06:29:09,400
you, madam mayor. Just for the

10039
06:29:09,400 --> 06:29:11,400
record,

10040
06:29:12,400 --> 06:29:14,400
I lived there --. 226 miles

10041
06:29:14,400 --> 06:29:15,400
away from that development for 15

10042
06:29:15,400 --> 06:29:17,400
years.

10043
06:29:18,400 --> 06:29:20,400
so definitely --and

10044
06:29:21,400 --> 06:29:22,400
with the decrease in speed in school

10045
06:29:22,400 --> 06:29:23,400
zones

10046
06:29:23,400 --> 06:29:24,400
that we've passed on consent, gosh,

10047
06:29:24,400 --> 06:29:26,400
a few months

10048
06:29:26,400 --> 06:29:27,400
ago, I don't see any problem with

10049
06:29:27,400 --> 06:29:29,400
this. I'll move for the staff

10050
06:29:29,400 --> 06:29:30,400

is there a second?

10054
06:29:34,400 --> 06:29:35,400
>> second. >> we

I know it's a long evening. And I

10098
06:30:52,400 --> 06:30:54,400
want to

10099
06:30:54,400 --> 06:30:55,400
again recognize staff that's been

10100
06:30:55,400 --> 06:30:57,400
working so

10101
06:30:58,400 --> 06:31:00,800
hard on this. Leslie

10102
06:31:01,400 --> 06:31:03,400

I'll just go into the first slide.

10107
06:31:16,400 --> 06:31:18,400
it's

10108
06:31:18,400 --> 06:31:21,400

you. The

10113
06:31:31,400 --> 06:31:34,400
first one is an initial study

10114
06:31:34,400 --> 06:31:36,400
and mitigated negative --

10115
06:31:36,400 --> 06:31:38,400

10120
06:31:45,400 --> 06:31:46,400
commercial region to high-density

10121
06:31:46,400 --> 06:31:48,400

06:31:52,400 --> 06:31:54,400
of approval.

10125
06:31:55,400 --> 06:31:59,000
these are discretionary approvals for tonight.

10126
06:32:01,400 --> 06:32:03,400
the project

10127
06:32:04,400 --> 06:32:06,800
site is in the

10128
06:32:07,400 --> 06:32:09,800
red rectangle. It is

10129
06:32:10,400 --> 06:32:11,400
3. 8 acres. The general plan

10130
06:32:11,400 --> 06:32:13,400
is regional commercial, zoning is commercial

10131
06:32:13,400 --> 06:32:15,400
regional.

10132
06:32:19,400 --> 06:32:21,400
and on

10133
06:32:22,400 --> 06:32:24,400
the existing site is

10134
06:32:24,400 --> 06:32:25,400
two-story office building with one-story

10135
06:32:25,400 --> 06:32:26,400
light

10136
06:32:26,400 --> 06:32:28,400
industrial building and a surface parking

10137
06:32:28,400 --> 06:32:29,400
lot.

10138
06:32:29,400 --> 06:32:33,400
this is what the current site looks like.

10139
06:32:33,400 --> 06:32:37,000
it is considered an underutilized site.

10140
06:32:40,400 --> 06:32:41,400
these are the current

10141
06:32:41,400 --> 06:32:45,600
general plan and zoning for the project.

10142
06:32:46,400 --> 06:32:48,400
commercial regional zone. The purpose

10143
06:32:48,400 --> 06:32:49,400
of commercial region zone is to provide

10144
06:32:49,400 --> 06:32:51,400
land areas for

10145
06:32:51,400 --> 06:32:52,400
a broad range of commercial uses,

10146
06:32:52,400 --> 06:32:54,400
from regional serving

10147
06:32:54,400 --> 06:32:55,400
to large-scale commercial. And it's

10148
06:32:55,400 --> 06:32:57,400
the

10149
06:32:58,400 --> 06:32:59,400
intent of the zone to encourage

10150
06:32:59,400 --> 06:33:01,400
the development of unique commercial

10151
06:33:01,400 --> 06:33:02,400
shopping environments. And the zone

10152
06:33:02,400 --> 06:33:03,400
implements

10153
06:33:03,400 --> 06:33:04,400
the regional commercial land use designation for the general

10154
06:33:04,400 --> 06:33:06,400
plan.

10155
06:33:09,400 --> 06:33:10,400
so the background on this project.

10156
06:33:10,400 --> 06:33:12,400
it is

10157
06:33:12,400 --> 06:33:13,400
within the station area focus area, which is currently

10158
06:33:13,400 --> 06:33:15,400
under way.

10159
06:33:16,400 --> 06:33:18,400
it is not

10160
06:33:19,400 --> 06:33:21,400
yet adopted. The airport, san jose

10161
06:33:21,400 --> 06:33:22,400
international airport, is about 500

10162
06:33:22,400 --> 06:33:25,400
feet away to the northeast.

10163
06:33:28,400 --> 06:33:30,800
santa clara transit center

10164
06:33:31,400 --> 06:33:33,800
is about .3 miles away.

10165
06:33:34,400 --> 06:33:37,400
it is a transit-rich area,

10166
06:33:37,400 --> 06:33:40,400
and it's served by cal train,

10167
06:33:40,400 --> 06:33:43,400
a.c.e., and vta. In october

10168
06:33:43,400 --> 06:33:45,400
2024, council approved a two-

10169
06:33:45,400 --> 06:33:46,400
way class 4 protected bikeway along

10170
06:33:46,400 --> 06:33:48,400
the east side

10171
06:33:49,400 --> 06:33:50,400
of coleman between brokawbrokaw reed.

10172
06:33:50,400 --> 06:33:51,400
and the

10173
06:33:51,400 --> 06:33:55,400
project was also approved by the airport

10174
06:33:55,400 --> 06:33:56,400
land use commission

10175
06:33:56,400 --> 06:33:59,400
on allaugust ugust 27th action 2025.

10176
06:34:01,400 --> 06:34:04,400
so the details of the

10177
06:34:04,400 --> 06:34:06,400
project . It's 142

10178
06:34:07,400 --> 06:34:08,400
forsale town homes, and the density

10179
06:34:08,400 --> 06:34:09,400
that they

10180
06:34:09,400 --> 06:34:10,400
are proposing is 37. 4 dwelling units

10181
06:34:10,400 --> 06:34:12,400
per acre.

10182
06:34:13,400 --> 06:34:15,400
there will be 12

10183
06:34:16,400 --> 06:34:18,400
four-story townhouse-style buildings.

10184
06:34:19,400 --> 06:34:22,400
the maximum height will be 50

10185
06:34:22,400 --> 06:34:25,400
feet. It will have a

10186
06:34:25,400 --> 06:34:27,800
. 45 area of common recreational

10187
06:34:28,400 --> 06:34:31,400
space. This is all private to the

10188
06:34:31,400 --> 06:34:33,800
development. There is no

10189
06:34:34,400 --> 06:34:37,400
publicly owned park space here.

10190
06:34:37,400 --> 06:34:40,400
they are proposing a new

10191
06:34:40,400 --> 06:34:42,800
26-foot-wide, two-way private street.

10192
06:34:43,400 --> 06:34:46,400
the street is off coleman.

10193
06:34:46,400 --> 06:34:48,800
20% of the units or 29

10194
06:34:49,400 --> 06:34:50,400
units will be affordable units at very

10195
06:34:50,400 --> 06:34:52,800
low, low, or moderate.

10196
06:34:55,400 --> 06:34:57,400
they're proposing, even though this is

10197
06:34:57,400 --> 06:34:58,400
a transit-rich area, they are not

10198
06:34:58,400 --> 06:35:00,800
required by state law

10199
06:35:01,400 --> 06:35:04,400
to provide any parking. But they are

10200
06:35:04,400 --> 06:35:06,400
proposing 234

10201
06:35:06,400 --> 06:35:07,400
parking spaces, 1 norv those will be in

10202
06:35:07,400 --> 06:35:08,400
the garage, and

10203
06:35:08,400 --> 06:35:12,600
40 of those will be on the surface.

10204
06:35:13,400 --> 06:35:15,400
they're also proposing class I and

10205
06:35:15,400 --> 06:35:20,800
seven class ii bike parking, which is short-term parking.

10206
06:35:22,400 --> 06:35:25,400
so this is the site plan.

10207
06:35:25,400 --> 06:35:28,400
they have taken care to cluster the

10208
06:35:28,400 --> 06:35:30,800
units together in order

10209
06:35:31,400 --> 06:35:32,400
to get some recreational spaces for

10210
06:35:32,400 --> 06:35:34,400
the residents there.

10211
06:35:37,400 --> 06:35:39,800
the one nice feature

10212
06:35:40,400 --> 06:35:41,400
is that their site plan along coleman

10213
06:35:41,400 --> 06:35:43,400
avenue does

10214
06:35:43,400 --> 06:35:45,400
have the

10215
06:35:46,400 --> 06:35:47,400
residential units' fronts facing coleman

10216
06:35:47,400 --> 06:35:48,400
avenue, so

10217
06:35:48,400 --> 06:35:49,400
it creates a nice dialogue with the

10218
06:35:49,400 --> 06:35:51,400
street. They are

10219
06:35:51,400 --> 06:35:52,400
also proposing additional amenities,

10220
06:35:52,400 --> 06:35:54,400
like a

10221
06:35:54,400 --> 06:35:55,400
barbecue area, which is circle number

10222
06:35:55,400 --> 06:35:56,400
1. There's proposing a dog

10223
06:35:56,400 --> 06:35:58,400
park, which is towards the back, which

10224
06:35:58,400 --> 06:36:00,400
is circle number 2.

10225
06:36:01,400 --> 06:36:04,400
there will also be a community

10226
06:36:04,400 --> 06:36:07,400
garden, and there will be places

10227
06:36:07,400 --> 06:36:08,400
for a barbecue and other

10228
06:36:08,400 --> 06:36:12,600
places like a trellis area for residents.

10229
06:36:16,400 --> 06:36:18,800
general plan conformance. The

10230
06:36:19,400 --> 06:36:20,400
project includes a general plan amendment

10231
06:36:20,400 --> 06:36:22,400
from santa

10232
06:36:23,400 --> 06:36:25,400
clara station

10233
06:36:26,400 --> 06:36:28,400
regional commercial to

10234
06:36:28,400 --> 06:36:29,400
high-density residential. On balance,

10235
06:36:29,400 --> 06:36:30,400
the project

10236
06:36:30,400 --> 06:36:32,400
is consistent with the general plan,

10237
06:36:32,400 --> 06:36:34,400
and we've

10238
06:36:35,400 --> 06:36:37,800
listed the policies with

10239
06:36:38,400 --> 06:36:40,400
the proposed density

10240
06:36:41,400 --> 06:36:44,400
adding market rate in 29 deed

10241
06:36:44,400 --> 06:36:46,400
restricted affordable housing units.

10242
06:36:46,400 --> 06:36:48,400
early community outreach was conducted with

10243
06:36:48,400 --> 06:36:52,000
two community meetings consistent with the

10244
06:36:53,400 --> 06:36:54,400
station area focus area.

10245
06:36:54,400 --> 06:36:56,400
the residential development is within walking

10246
06:36:56,400 --> 06:36:57,400
distance of a transit station.

10247
06:36:57,400 --> 06:37:01,600
and there will be interconnected pedestrian paths.

10248
06:37:02,400 --> 06:37:03,400
the zoning

10249
06:37:03,400 --> 06:37:04,400
conformance. It requires a rezone for

10250
06:37:04,400 --> 06:37:07,400
the property from commercial regional

10251
06:37:07,400 --> 06:37:08,400
to high-density residential. It meets

10252
06:37:08,400 --> 06:37:10,400
the

10253
06:37:11,400 --> 06:37:13,400
intent of the r4

10254
06:37:13,400 --> 06:37:14,400
zone. They have clustered the units

10255
06:37:14,400 --> 06:37:16,400
and

10256
06:37:17,400 --> 06:37:18,400
done innovative site

10257
06:37:18,400 --> 06:37:20,400
planning. They've provided on-site

10258
06:37:20,400 --> 06:37:21,400
recreational amenities and

10259
06:37:21,400 --> 06:37:24,400
located the near neighborhood commercial centers.

10260
06:37:24,400 --> 06:37:26,400
it meets most of the regulations of

10261
06:37:26,400 --> 06:37:28,400
high-

10262
06:37:28,400 --> 06:37:29,400
density residential. They're also

10263
06:37:29,400 --> 06:37:31,400
seeking state

10264
06:37:32,400 --> 06:37:34,400
density bonus

10265
06:37:34,400 --> 06:37:37,400
waivers to the side saidbacks as well

10266
06:37:37,400 --> 06:37:38,400
as the rear setbacks. They're seeking

10267
06:37:38,400 --> 06:37:40,400
a waiver

10268
06:37:40,400 --> 06:37:41,400
for the private open space and also for

10269
06:37:41,400 --> 06:37:43,800
the common open space.

10270
06:37:47,400 --> 06:37:49,400
the project

10271
06:37:50,400 --> 06:37:51,400
is also proposing a

10272
06:37:51,400 --> 06:37:53,400
tentative subdivision map for a two-lot

10273
06:37:53,400 --> 06:37:55,400
subdivision.

10274
06:37:56,400 --> 06:37:58,400
and in accordance with chapter

10275
06:37:58,400 --> 06:37:59,400
17.05, the project requires a tentative

10276
06:37:59,400 --> 06:38:01,400
subdivision

10277
06:38:02,400 --> 06:38:04,400
map approval. On july 1st,

10278
06:38:04,400 --> 06:38:06,800
2025, the subdivision committee reviewed

10279
06:38:07,400 --> 06:38:08,400
and deemed the application cleared,

10280
06:38:08,400 --> 06:38:09,400
satisfying

10281
06:38:09,400 --> 06:38:13,600
code requirements, and included conditions of approval.

10282
06:38:14,400 --> 06:38:16,400
public outreach.

10283
06:38:17,400 --> 06:38:19,400
public outreach

10284
06:38:19,400 --> 06:38:20,400
was done by the developer on october

10285
06:38:20,400 --> 06:38:21,400
20th in person,

10286
06:38:21,400 --> 06:38:23,400
and six members of the community attended.

10287
06:38:23,400 --> 06:38:25,400
and on

10288
06:38:25,400 --> 06:38:26,400
march 31st, it was virtual with 13 members of the

10289
06:38:26,400 --> 06:38:28,400
community attending.

10290
06:38:32,400 --> 06:38:34,400
the

10291
06:38:34,400 --> 06:38:35,400
y topics atat meetings was the site

10292
06:38:35,400 --> 06:38:37,400
plan consistency

10293
06:38:38,400 --> 06:38:40,400
with the station area-specific plan,

10294
06:38:40,400 --> 06:38:41,400
deliveries, affordability, relocation

10295
06:38:41,400 --> 06:38:43,400
of commercial

10296
06:38:43,400 --> 06:38:44,400
tenants, and project timeline. Six

10297
06:38:44,400 --> 06:38:46,400
letters of support were

10298
06:38:46,400 --> 06:38:49,400
received. One letter was in opposition.

10299
06:38:49,400 --> 06:38:51,400
the opposition was a preference for

10300
06:38:51,400 --> 06:38:55,600
single-level house instead of multi-level town homes.

10301
06:38:56,400 --> 06:38:58,400
a

10302
06:38:59,400 --> 06:39:01,400
ceqa analysis was

10303
06:39:02,400 --> 06:39:05,400
done, and it was a mitigated

10304
06:39:05,400 --> 06:39:07,400
neg dec.

10305
06:39:08,400 --> 06:39:09,400
most of the topics covered by ceqa

10306
06:39:09,400 --> 06:39:10,400
were

10307
06:39:10,400 --> 06:39:11,400
found to be less than significant

10308
06:39:11,400 --> 06:39:13,400
impact or no impact.

10309
06:39:13,400 --> 06:39:14,400
there are mitigations included in

10310
06:39:14,400 --> 06:39:16,400
the

10311
06:39:17,400 --> 06:39:19,400
mmrp, which is attached. The

10312
06:39:19,400 --> 06:39:22,400
project will be 100% electric, so it

10313
06:39:22,400 --> 06:39:23,400
will be supporting the greenhouse

10314
06:39:23,400 --> 06:39:25,400
gas emission reductions.

10315
06:39:26,400 --> 06:39:28,400
and

10316
06:39:29,400 --> 06:39:31,400
then there were five public

10317
06:39:31,400 --> 06:39:32,400
comments received during the circulation

10318
06:39:32,400 --> 06:39:34,800
of the ceqa document.

10319
06:39:35,400 --> 06:39:37,400
and

10320
06:39:38,400 --> 06:39:40,800
these comments were addressed

10321
06:39:41,400 --> 06:39:44,400
and prepared and posted on the ceqa --

10322
06:39:44,400 --> 06:39:45,400
project ceqa page. The

10323
06:39:45,400 --> 06:39:47,400
planning commission action. It went

10324
06:39:47,400 --> 06:39:49,400
to planning commission

10325
06:39:50,400 --> 06:39:53,400
on august 13th. And the

10326
06:39:53,400 --> 06:39:56,400
planning commission recommended an approval of

10327
06:39:56,400 --> 06:39:57,400
6-0-1. The

10328
06:39:57,400 --> 06:39:59,400
discussion topics were visibility

10329
06:39:59,400 --> 06:40:01,400
and safety

10330
06:40:01,400 --> 06:40:02,400
concerns, silicon valley power's ability

10331
06:40:02,400 --> 06:40:03,400
to supply power, and it

10332
06:40:03,400 --> 06:40:05,400
was confirmed that they will be able

10333
06:40:05,400 --> 06:40:07,400
to supply power.

10334
06:40:11,400 --> 06:40:13,400
coordination or

10335
06:40:13,400 --> 06:40:14,400
outreach to santa clara station area

10336
06:40:14,400 --> 06:40:16,400
plan task force.

10337
06:40:17,400 --> 06:40:20,400
and that was done. It was communicated

10338
06:40:20,400 --> 06:40:23,400
to them, and there weren't any comments.

10339
06:40:23,400 --> 06:40:25,400
whether it would

10340
06:40:25,400 --> 06:40:26,400
need the rhna numbers or contribute to

10341
06:40:26,400 --> 06:40:28,400
the

10342
06:40:28,400 --> 06:40:29,400
rhna numbers, and it was confirmed

10343
06:40:29,400 --> 06:40:31,400
that all

10344
06:40:32,400 --> 06:40:34,400
142 town home

10345
06:40:34,400 --> 06:40:35,400
units would contribute. The nearest

10346
06:40:35,400 --> 06:40:37,400
bus stops, union

10347
06:40:37,400 --> 06:40:38,400
design for all ages. In other words,

10348
06:40:38,400 --> 06:40:40,400
could there

10349
06:40:41,400 --> 06:40:44,400
be a possibility for a

10350
06:40:44,400 --> 06:40:47,400
bedroom on the first floor? The applicant has

10351
06:40:47,400 --> 06:40:48,400
redesigned five of the units

10352
06:40:48,400 --> 06:40:53,200
to include one bedroom on the first floor.

10353
06:40:56,400 --> 06:40:57,400
a fence height on the south. The planning

10354
06:40:57,400 --> 06:40:58,400
commission

10355
06:40:58,400 --> 06:40:59,400
wanted to see a taller height, but

10356
06:40:59,400 --> 06:41:02,400
after discussion it was determined

10357
06:41:02,400 --> 06:41:05,400
the six-foot height would be compliant.

10358
06:41:05,400 --> 06:41:07,400
the applicant is

10359
06:41:08,400 --> 06:41:10,400
providing

10360
06:41:11,400 --> 06:41:14,400
a certain window type --I forgot what

10361
06:41:14,400 --> 06:41:17,400
it's called. Stc, right? Stc.

10362
06:41:17,400 --> 06:41:20,400
and that will help mitigate any noise concerns.

10363
06:41:20,400 --> 06:41:22,400
and then

10364
06:41:23,400 --> 06:41:25,400
the architecture.

10365
06:41:25,400 --> 06:41:31,400
there were no public speakers at the planning commission hearing.

10366
06:41:32,400 --> 06:41:34,800
the recommendation is the

10367
06:41:35,400 --> 06:41:38,400
following. Adoption of the mitigated

10368
06:41:38,400 --> 06:41:40,800
negdec, approving the mnd

10369
06:41:41,400 --> 06:41:42,400
and the mitigation monitoring or reporting

10370
06:41:42,400 --> 06:41:43,400
program.

10371
06:41:43,400 --> 06:41:44,400
general plan, approving the amendment

10372
06:41:44,400 --> 06:41:46,400
to change the land use designation

10373
06:41:46,400 --> 06:41:50,000
from regional commercial to high density.

10374
06:41:51,400 --> 06:41:53,800
rezoning, approving a rezoning

10375
06:41:54,400 --> 06:41:55,400
of the project from commercial

10376
06:41:55,400 --> 06:41:57,400
regional to high-density residential.

10377
06:41:57,400 --> 06:41:58,400
and a vesting tentative map

10378
06:41:58,400 --> 06:42:00,400
approval. The applicant is also here

10379
06:42:00,400 --> 06:42:02,400
tonight, and they

10380
06:42:02,400 --> 06:42:03,400
do have a powerpoint presentation.

10381
06:42:03,400 --> 06:42:05,400
and then staff is here to take

10382
06:42:05,400 --> 06:42:06,400
any questions. Thank you.

10383
06:42:06,400 --> 06:42:07,400
>> we'll

10384
06:42:07,400 --> 06:42:11,600
start with the staff questions. Councilmember hardy?

10385
06:42:12,400 --> 06:42:14,400
>> thank

10386
06:42:14,400 --> 06:42:15,400
you. You did brief us on this before,

10387
06:42:15,400 --> 06:42:17,800
and that's going to

10388
06:42:18,400 --> 06:42:20,400
help us all tonight a lot.

10389
06:42:20,400 --> 06:42:23,400
you went through something very quick,

10390
06:42:23,400 --> 06:42:24,400
and I didn't catch it. I do not see

10391
06:42:24,400 --> 06:42:26,400
anything about

10392
06:42:27,400 --> 06:42:28,400
a waiver.

10393
06:42:28,400 --> 06:42:30,400
you mentioned two waivers that I wanted to make certain I

10394
06:42:30,400 --> 06:42:32,400
understood those.

10395
06:42:33,400 --> 06:42:34,400
would you like me --

10396
06:42:34,400 --> 06:42:37,400
>> further questions, yeah. Yeah, go

10397
06:42:39,400 --> 06:42:41,400
ahead, respond.

10398
06:42:41,400 --> 06:42:45,000
>> so yes, they are requesting waivers.

10399
06:42:45,400 --> 06:42:47,400
what is required is aa

10400
06:42:47,400 --> 06:42:51,400
setback of ten feet, and five feet

10401
06:42:51,400 --> 06:42:52,400
is provided. A rear setback of

10402
06:42:52,400 --> 06:42:54,400
ten feet is required and nine feet

10403
06:42:54,400 --> 06:42:55,400
is provided.

10404
06:42:55,400 --> 06:42:57,400
a private open space of 60 square feet

10405
06:42:57,400 --> 06:43:00,400
is required and 52 is provided.

10406
06:43:00,400 --> 06:43:02,400
and I can

10407
06:43:02,400 --> 06:43:06,400
get into more details on that. For

10408
06:43:06,400 --> 06:43:08,800
the common open space,

10409
06:43:09,400 --> 06:43:11,400
28,400 square feet is

10410
06:43:12,400 --> 06:43:14,800
required and 17,600 is proposed.

10411
06:43:19,400 --> 06:43:24,200
those are the waivers that they have requested.

10412
06:43:39,400 --> 06:43:43,000
let me just explain the private

10413
06:43:45,400 --> 06:43:47,400
so the private open space that

10414
06:43:47,400 --> 06:43:48,400
is required is 60 square feet per

10415
06:43:48,400 --> 06:43:50,400
unit for 50%

10416
06:43:51,400 --> 06:43:53,400
of the units. The project provides

10417
06:43:53,400 --> 06:43:54,400
balconies for 50% of the units. However,

10418
06:43:54,400 --> 06:43:56,400
for 31

10419
06:43:57,400 --> 06:44:00,400
of those units, the square footage

10420
06:44:00,400 --> 06:44:01,400
is only 52 square feet.

10421
06:44:01,400 --> 06:44:05,600
eight square feet less than the requirement.

10422
06:44:06,400 --> 06:44:08,800
>> looks like I have

10423
06:44:09,400 --> 06:44:12,400
other council questions as well.

10424
06:44:12,400 --> 06:44:13,400
councilmember jain?

10425
06:44:13,400 --> 06:44:14,400
>> yeah, I spoke

10426
06:44:14,400 --> 06:44:15,400
with the applicant, and I listened

10427
06:44:15,400 --> 06:44:17,400
to

10428
06:44:18,400 --> 06:44:21,400
the briefing. My question was

10429
06:44:21,400 --> 06:44:22,400
that it seems like every parking space

10430
06:44:22,400 --> 06:44:24,400
is

10431
06:44:24,400 --> 06:44:27,400
allocated to a resident unit.

10432
06:44:30,400 --> 06:44:33,400
so where would any guest parking

10433
06:44:33,400 --> 06:44:36,400
be? And I know that there's

10434
06:44:36,400 --> 06:44:39,400
a little bit of parking on

10435
06:44:39,400 --> 06:44:41,400
brokaw, I think. But

10436
06:44:41,400 --> 06:44:42,400
if you're going to have, like, an

10437
06:44:42,400 --> 06:44:44,400
event, is there

10438
06:44:45,400 --> 06:44:46,400
an agreement with one of the businesses

10439
06:44:46,400 --> 06:44:47,400
nearby

10440
06:44:47,400 --> 06:44:48,400
or anything? This may be more for the

10441
06:44:48,400 --> 06:44:50,400
applicant.

10442
06:44:51,400 --> 06:44:53,400
but

10443
06:44:53,400 --> 06:44:54,400
has the city been working on --I know this

10444
06:44:54,400 --> 06:44:56,400
is not

10445
06:44:56,400 --> 06:44:57,400
part of the station area plan. It's

10446
06:44:57,400 --> 06:44:59,400
before

10447
06:44:59,400 --> 06:45:00,400
the station area plan is finalized.

10448
06:45:00,400 --> 06:45:02,800
but you know, we've

10449
06:45:03,400 --> 06:45:06,400
had issues where you're not required

10450
06:45:06,400 --> 06:45:07,400
to provide parking, and they're providing

10451
06:45:07,400 --> 06:45:09,400
parking.

10452
06:45:09,400 --> 06:45:11,400
but there's no guest parking. So if

10453
06:45:11,400 --> 06:45:12,400
you have a dinner party or something, where are your guests

10454
06:45:12,400 --> 06:45:14,400
going to park?

10455
06:45:15,400 --> 06:45:17,400
>> thank you. I will

10456
06:45:17,400 --> 06:45:18,400
let the applicant respond to that.

10457
06:45:18,400 --> 06:45:20,400
>> wait,

10458
06:45:20,400 --> 06:45:21,400
wait.

10459
06:45:21,400 --> 06:45:22,400
>> and then -->> do you have

10460
06:45:22,400 --> 06:45:24,400
other questions?

10461
06:45:24,400 --> 06:45:27,400
>> are these the only elevations with the color palette and

10462
06:45:27,400 --> 06:45:29,400
the material types?

10463
06:45:33,400 --> 06:45:35,800
I didn't see those.

10464
06:45:36,400 --> 06:45:38,400
I know when I met with pam

10465
06:45:38,400 --> 06:45:39,400
lish, the colors were very preliminary.

10466
06:45:39,400 --> 06:45:41,400
>> I believe it still

10467
06:45:41,400 --> 06:45:42,400
needs an architect --

10468
06:45:42,400 --> 06:45:43,400
>> I want to

10469
06:45:43,400 --> 06:45:45,400
get all the questions out

10470
06:45:45,400 --> 06:45:46,400
before, sorry.

10471
06:45:46,400 --> 06:45:48,400
>> that's it, thank you.

10472
06:45:48,400 --> 06:45:51,400
>> vice mayor cox? >> I want to

10473
06:45:51,400 --> 06:45:53,400
quickly understand if --I saw in

10474
06:45:53,400 --> 06:45:54,400
public comment the only kind of negative

10475
06:45:54,400 --> 06:45:56,400
need back was

10476
06:45:57,400 --> 06:45:59,400
again about the single unit or

10477
06:45:59,400 --> 06:46:00,400
the accessibility. I'm wondering if

10478
06:46:00,400 --> 06:46:02,400
the five

10479
06:46:03,400 --> 06:46:04,400
units now having bedrooms on the first

10480
06:46:04,400 --> 06:46:06,400
floor addresses that specifically

10481
06:46:06,400 --> 06:46:09,400
or if there was a

10482
06:46:09,400 --> 06:46:10,400
tie-in. Again, just want

10483
06:46:10,400 --> 06:46:12,400
to vocalize support as somebody who

10484
06:46:12,400 --> 06:46:13,400
works at the university closely

10485
06:46:13,400 --> 06:46:17,000
with housing. This meets huge needs.

10486
06:46:18,400 --> 06:46:21,400
>> thank you, that's it now. >> okay.

10487
06:46:21,400 --> 06:46:22,400
so there

10488
06:46:22,400 --> 06:46:26,400
was a question about where is the guest parking?

10489
06:46:26,400 --> 06:46:27,400
the applicant is here, and I will

10490
06:46:27,400 --> 06:46:30,400
let them respond to that.

10491
06:46:30,400 --> 06:46:33,400
on the elevations, this still has

10492
06:46:33,400 --> 06:46:36,400
to go to the development

10493
06:46:36,400 --> 06:46:37,400
review committee for the architectural

10494
06:46:37,400 --> 06:46:39,400
approval. So

10495
06:46:39,400 --> 06:46:40,400
what we have is this. And then I think

10496
06:46:40,400 --> 06:46:42,400
the applicant also has a presentation, and

10497
06:46:42,400 --> 06:46:45,400
they can elaborate on that.

10498
06:46:48,400 --> 06:46:51,400
as far as councilmember cox, your

10499
06:46:51,400 --> 06:46:54,400
question, what they did is since

10500
06:46:54,400 --> 06:46:56,800
the planning commission hearing

10501
06:46:57,400 --> 06:46:59,800
and the comment about

10502
06:47:02,400 --> 06:47:03,400
providing units on the first floor,

10503
06:47:03,400 --> 06:47:06,400
they modified their floor plan so

10504
06:47:06,400 --> 06:47:08,400
that there are

10505
06:47:09,400 --> 06:47:11,400
now --

10506
06:47:11,400 --> 06:47:12,400
within five of the units, there is

10507
06:47:12,400 --> 06:47:14,400
a bedroom on the first floor.

10508
06:47:14,400 --> 06:47:15,400
>> thank you. All right, it is a public

10509
06:47:15,400 --> 06:47:18,400
hearing. I'm going to go

10510
06:47:18,400 --> 06:47:19,400
now to the applicant. The applicant

10511
06:47:19,400 --> 06:47:21,400
has time, I think

10512
06:47:21,400 --> 06:47:23,400
ten minutes. Yes.

10513
06:47:24,400 --> 06:47:25,400
welcome. Thank you

10514
06:47:25,400 --> 06:47:26,400
for your patience.

10515
06:47:26,400 --> 06:47:27,400
>> thank you so

10516
06:47:27,400 --> 06:47:28,400
much. I feel very privileged to be

10517
06:47:28,400 --> 06:47:30,400
here when

10518
06:47:30,400 --> 06:47:31,400
you guys did the latino heritage month,

10519
06:47:31,400 --> 06:47:33,400
because I

10520
06:47:33,400 --> 06:47:34,400
myself was born in lima, peru, and

10521
06:47:34,400 --> 06:47:36,400
I went to engineering school at santa clara university.

10522
06:47:36,400 --> 06:47:37,400
I

10523
06:47:37,400 --> 06:47:40,400
felt very emotional when I saw the

10524
06:47:40,400 --> 06:47:42,400
students

10525
06:47:43,400 --> 06:47:45,400
come up here. I timed this at

10526
06:47:45,400 --> 06:47:46,400
eight minutes. I'm going to try to

10527
06:47:46,400 --> 06:47:47,400
be shy

10528
06:47:47,400 --> 06:47:49,400
of that. Thank you so much for everybody

10529
06:47:49,400 --> 06:47:51,400
for being here.

10530
06:47:52,400 --> 06:47:55,400
it's now tomorrow. And just,

10531
06:47:55,400 --> 06:47:57,400
leslie, afshan, I

10532
06:47:58,400 --> 06:48:00,800
can't express to everybody.

10533
06:48:01,400 --> 06:48:03,400
I swipe. My name is pamela

10534
06:48:03,400 --> 06:48:04,400
selas needing, vice president city

10535
06:48:04,400 --> 06:48:06,400
ventures.

10536
06:48:07,400 --> 06:48:08,400
aisles also planning

10537
06:48:08,400 --> 06:48:09,400
commissioner in my hometown, so I know

10538
06:48:09,400 --> 06:48:10,400
the love of your home and the dedication

10539
06:48:10,400 --> 06:48:11,400
it takes to be here

10540
06:48:11,400 --> 06:48:13,400
even when it's this late. We're excited

10541
06:48:13,400 --> 06:48:16,400
to be back here before you

10542
06:48:16,400 --> 06:48:18,400
today. As we were the city's

10543
06:48:18,400 --> 06:48:20,800
first solar all-electric project.

10544
06:48:22,400 --> 06:48:25,400
in the city of santa clara,

10545
06:48:25,400 --> 06:48:27,800
actually on ovsu street.

10546
06:48:28,400 --> 06:48:30,400
city ventures we're a sa

10547
06:48:30,400 --> 06:48:31,400
steinable bay area builder that focuses on

10548
06:48:31,400 --> 06:48:32,400
infill

10549
06:48:32,400 --> 06:48:34,400
developments. The company came to

10550
06:48:34,400 --> 06:48:35,400
life as a core belief

10551
06:48:35,400 --> 06:48:37,400
with creating partnerships with municipalities

10552
06:48:37,400 --> 06:48:40,400
and sustainability is a big part

10553
06:48:40,400 --> 06:48:42,400
of that.

10554
06:48:43,400 --> 06:48:45,800
as mentioned the 3. 7 acre

10555
06:48:46,400 --> 06:48:48,400
site is located at 1400 coleman street kitty-

10556
06:48:48,400 --> 06:48:49,400
corner to costco and the gateway crossings

10557
06:48:49,400 --> 06:48:51,400
project. We know

10558
06:48:51,400 --> 06:48:52,400
we aren't the first, but we're glad to

10559
06:48:52,400 --> 06:48:56,600
be pioneering the housing in this area.

10560
06:48:58,400 --> 06:49:00,400
the exciting part of this

10561
06:49:00,400 --> 06:49:03,400
project, besides it being very close to

10562
06:49:03,400 --> 06:49:04,400
my alma mater, that is it's within

10563
06:49:04,400 --> 06:49:05,400
a half

10564
06:49:05,400 --> 06:49:07,400
of santa clara university, cal train, and

10565
06:49:07,400 --> 06:49:08,400
the new

10566
06:49:08,400 --> 06:49:10,400
brokaw underpass which was a great

10567
06:49:10,400 --> 06:49:12,400
investment by

10568
06:49:12,400 --> 06:49:13,400
the city to really transform this

10569
06:49:13,400 --> 06:49:15,400
area.

10570
06:49:16,400 --> 06:49:17,400
the underpass and future transit plans of

10571
06:49:17,400 --> 06:49:19,400
the cal train station unlocks the

10572
06:49:19,400 --> 06:49:20,400
exact type of

10573
06:49:20,400 --> 06:49:22,400
urban housing development that is

10574
06:49:22,400 --> 06:49:24,400
needed here. I,

10575
06:49:24,400 --> 06:49:25,400
like I mentioned before, was a student

10576
06:49:25,400 --> 06:49:26,400
at santa clara

10577
06:49:26,400 --> 06:49:28,400
university, proudly obtaining any

10578
06:49:28,400 --> 06:49:30,400
civil engineering degree and due

10579
06:49:30,400 --> 06:49:31,400
in part to the high cost of housing,

10580
06:49:31,400 --> 06:49:33,400
I myself had to commute

10581
06:49:33,400 --> 06:49:34,400
to school until I was blessed with

10582
06:49:34,400 --> 06:49:36,400
a scholarship that allowed

10583
06:49:36,400 --> 06:49:37,400
me to live on and off campus. Now

10584
06:49:37,400 --> 06:49:39,400
as an adult

10585
06:49:40,400 --> 06:49:41,400
that sits at the university's

10586
06:49:41,400 --> 06:49:43,400
engineering advisory board, I can

10587
06:49:43,400 --> 06:49:45,400
tell you firsthand as

10588
06:49:45,400 --> 06:49:46,400
councilmember cox mentioned that retaining

10589
06:49:46,400 --> 06:49:48,400
talent,

10590
06:49:48,400 --> 06:49:49,400
even at the university level, can

10591
06:49:49,400 --> 06:49:52,400
be difficult due to the high cost of housing.

10592
06:49:52,400 --> 06:49:53,400
the site is

10593
06:49:53,400 --> 06:49:55,400
being used for commercial development.

10594
06:49:55,400 --> 06:49:56,400
here's a few photos.

10595
06:49:56,400 --> 06:50:01,200
you can see there's a lot of asphalt.

10596
06:50:01,400 --> 06:50:03,400
really quick, if we can

10597
06:50:03,400 --> 06:50:04,400
go back in time in 2010 the city of

10598
06:50:04,400 --> 06:50:06,400
santa clara

10599
06:50:06,400 --> 06:50:09,400
celebrated its past, its present, and its

10600
06:50:09,400 --> 06:50:10,400
future. And part of why we're here

10601
06:50:10,400 --> 06:50:12,400
so late

10602
06:50:12,400 --> 06:50:13,400
is because the city is already looking

10603
06:50:13,400 --> 06:50:15,400
forward to

10604
06:50:16,400 --> 06:50:19,400
its future. And all three phases

10605
06:50:19,400 --> 06:50:21,400
of its future,

10606
06:50:21,400 --> 06:50:22,400
contemplating urban development dream

10607
06:50:22,400 --> 06:50:24,400
by

10608
06:50:24,400 --> 06:50:25,400
connectivity, sustainability, place-making

10609
06:50:25,400 --> 06:50:29,600
and called it the station area plan.

10610
06:50:31,400 --> 06:50:33,400
since then, the city has not stopped

10611
06:50:33,400 --> 06:50:34,400
in its pursuit of pursuing its future.

10612
06:50:34,400 --> 06:50:36,400
it's

10613
06:50:37,400 --> 06:50:39,400
been a long time coming, but in 2022,

10614
06:50:39,400 --> 06:50:40,400
council appointed the station area

10615
06:50:40,400 --> 06:50:42,400
task force. Since

10616
06:50:42,400 --> 06:50:43,400
then, the city and the task force

10617
06:50:43,400 --> 06:50:45,400
having worked hard

10618
06:50:45,400 --> 06:50:46,400
to implement the vision started long

10619
06:50:46,400 --> 06:50:48,400
ago with

10620
06:50:48,400 --> 06:50:49,400
community meetings, property owner

10621
06:50:49,400 --> 06:50:51,400
meetings, and

10622
06:50:52,400 --> 06:50:54,400
regular task force

10623
06:50:54,400 --> 06:50:55,400
hearings. We're proud to say our project

10624
06:50:55,400 --> 06:50:57,400
was

10625
06:50:57,400 --> 06:50:58,400
integrated as the city's preferred

10626
06:50:58,400 --> 06:50:59,400
development and incorporated into

10627
06:50:59,400 --> 06:51:01,400
the station area plan which you can see

10628
06:51:01,400 --> 06:51:03,400
right here.

10629
06:51:07,400 --> 06:51:08,400
but the work didn't stop there.

10630
06:51:08,400 --> 06:51:10,400
on our end, we've had the pleasure

10631
06:51:10,400 --> 06:51:13,400
of working on this project

10632
06:51:13,400 --> 06:51:14,400
for over four years. From community

10633
06:51:14,400 --> 06:51:16,400
meetings, university outreach, and

10634
06:51:16,400 --> 06:51:17,400
work done with

10635
06:51:17,400 --> 06:51:19,400
city leadership and staff, I'm not

10636
06:51:19,400 --> 06:51:20,400
going to go through all of this here because

10637
06:51:20,400 --> 06:51:24,400
of the time, but you can see the effort.

10638
06:51:24,400 --> 06:51:25,400
staff was tough but fair. And it's

10639
06:51:25,400 --> 06:51:27,400
really what made

10640
06:51:28,400 --> 06:51:29,400
the product worthy of first allowing

10641
06:51:29,400 --> 06:51:35,400
us to go before planning commission and now before you.

10642
06:51:37,400 --> 06:51:39,400
now, they say it's the details

10643
06:51:39,400 --> 06:51:40,400
that really make a project, and in

10644
06:51:40,400 --> 06:51:42,400
this instance

10645
06:51:43,400 --> 06:51:44,400
I had the privilege of receiving feedback

10646
06:51:44,400 --> 06:51:46,400
from

10647
06:51:46,400 --> 06:51:47,400
afshan and others from those

10648
06:51:47,400 --> 06:51:49,400
that know and love this community.

10649
06:51:49,400 --> 06:51:51,400
those details to others may

10650
06:51:51,400 --> 06:51:52,400
seem small, but it's what can create

10651
06:51:52,400 --> 06:51:54,400
the fabric of a community. At

10652
06:51:54,400 --> 06:51:55,400
the planning commission hearing, the

10653
06:51:55,400 --> 06:51:57,400
item that stood out to me was

10654
06:51:57,400 --> 06:51:58,400
the ability to have a few units that allow the

10655
06:51:58,400 --> 06:52:00,800
community to grow older.

10656
06:52:01,400 --> 06:52:04,400
again, a comment with the intention

10657
06:52:04,400 --> 06:52:05,400
of creating a fabric of both young

10658
06:52:05,400 --> 06:52:07,400
and

10659
06:52:07,400 --> 06:52:08,400
old. While we are working with a higher-

10660
06:52:08,400 --> 06:52:09,400
density

10661
06:52:09,400 --> 06:52:12,400
product that typically precludes the

10662
06:52:12,400 --> 06:52:13,400
single-family product that most would

10663
06:52:13,400 --> 06:52:14,400
associate with an aging in place,

10664
06:52:14,400 --> 06:52:16,400
we

10665
06:52:16,400 --> 06:52:18,400
were able to identify

10666
06:52:18,400 --> 06:52:19,400
units as said that with careful crafting could

10667
06:52:19,400 --> 06:52:20,400
have a ground-

10668
06:52:20,400 --> 06:52:22,400
floor bedroom and bathroom, which you see over on

10669
06:52:22,400 --> 06:52:24,400
the right.

10670
06:52:25,400 --> 06:52:26,400
some additional examples of feedback

10671
06:52:26,400 --> 06:52:28,400
include

10672
06:52:28,400 --> 06:52:30,400
water taps for the community garden,

10673
06:52:30,400 --> 06:52:31,400
alternate modes of transportation

10674
06:52:31,400 --> 06:52:33,400
with

10675
06:52:33,400 --> 06:52:37,400
scooters and rideshare parking, and locks for the scooters.

10676
06:52:37,400 --> 06:52:39,800
a sink at the

10677
06:52:40,400 --> 06:52:41,400
community barbecue area to really

10678
06:52:41,400 --> 06:52:43,400
create

10679
06:52:43,400 --> 06:52:44,400
that place. And guidance on good neighbor

10680
06:52:44,400 --> 06:52:46,400
practices.

10681
06:52:46,400 --> 06:52:49,400
again, all comments to grow the values

10682
06:52:49,400 --> 06:52:52,400
and fabric of this community.

10683
06:52:52,400 --> 06:52:55,400
we also worked onon iterations

10684
06:52:55,400 --> 06:52:57,400
of affordable housing

10685
06:52:57,400 --> 06:52:58,400
program with elaine from your housing

10686
06:52:58,400 --> 06:53:00,400
department which results in the

10687
06:53:00,400 --> 06:53:01,400
29 units that are spread throughout

10688
06:53:01,400 --> 06:53:04,400
all of our plan types,

10689
06:53:04,400 --> 06:53:05,400
from studios to three bedrooms, upon

10690
06:53:05,400 --> 06:53:07,400
an average

10691
06:53:07,400 --> 06:53:10,400
ami of 83%. The idea is to

10692
06:53:10,400 --> 06:53:11,400
provide housing that is more affordable

10693
06:53:11,400 --> 06:53:13,400
primarily through

10694
06:53:13,400 --> 06:53:15,400
design.

10695
06:53:15,400 --> 06:53:16,400
regulatory practices and construction rather

10696
06:53:16,400 --> 06:53:18,800
than subsidies and grants

10697
06:53:19,400 --> 06:53:22,400
and the like. Key aspects include

10698
06:53:22,400 --> 06:53:24,400
efficient

10699
06:53:25,400 --> 06:53:26,400
units, fewer parking requirements,

10700
06:53:26,400 --> 06:53:27,400
innovative

10701
06:53:27,400 --> 06:53:28,400
construction techniques that don't

10702
06:53:28,400 --> 06:53:30,400
just

10703
06:53:30,400 --> 06:53:31,400
survive during the buildout but extend to

10704
06:53:31,400 --> 06:53:33,800
the buyers for the

10705
06:53:34,400 --> 06:53:36,800
long-term. Such as energy

10706
06:53:37,400 --> 06:53:38,400
efficiency, low maintenance durability, et

10707
06:53:38,400 --> 06:53:40,400
cetera.

10708
06:53:40,400 --> 06:53:42,400
there's an emphasis here for walkable

10709
06:53:42,400 --> 06:53:44,400
locations and having a design that

10710
06:53:44,400 --> 06:53:46,400
matches the needs

10711
06:53:47,400 --> 06:53:48,400
of the missing middle and

10712
06:53:48,400 --> 06:53:50,400
first-time home buyer. The goal is

10713
06:53:50,400 --> 06:53:53,400
to be able to have everyone be able to participate
