[Captioner] 19:56:41
MY NAME IS JASON CHU, FATHER OF 

[Captioner] 19:56:43
TWO YOUNG CHILDREN.

[Captioner] 19:56:46
I'M A RESIDENT OF -- A PROUD 

[Captioner] 19:56:48
RESIDENT OF AN AREA CLOSE TO 

[Captioner] 19:56:52
IRVINGTON COMMUNITY PARK AND 

[Captioner] 19:56:53
IRVINGTON HIGH SCHOOL IN 

[Captioner] 19:56:53
DISTRICT 6.

[Captioner] 19:56:55
I'M HERE TO VOICE AWARENESS AND 

[Captioner] 19:56:56
ASK FOR ACTION AND RESOLUTION TO 

[Captioner] 19:56:59
THE HOMELESSNESS AND RV PARKING 

[Captioner] 19:56:59
ISSUE.

[Captioner] 19:57:02
AT THIS VERY MOMENT, THERE ARE 

[Captioner] 19:57:03
DOZENS OF INDIVIDUAL AND 

[Captioner] 19:57:05
FAMILIES LIVING IN THEIR 

[Captioner] 19:57:06
VEHICLES PARKED PERMANENTLY IN 

[Captioner] 19:57:08
THIS RESIDENTIAL AREA I CALL 

[Captioner] 19:57:08
HOME.

[Captioner] 19:57:13
THESE ARE S.U.V.s, VANS, SEDAN, 

[Captioner] 19:57:16
AND LARGE SIZE S.U.V.

[Captioner] 19:57:18
THEY ARE PARKED THERE WHEN I GO 

[Captioner] 19:57:20
TO WORK IN THE MORNING, THEY ARE 

[Captioner] 19:57:23
PARKED THERE WHEN MY WIFE COMES 

[Captioner] 19:57:23
HOME AFTER WORK.

[Captioner] 19:57:26
THEY ARE THERE IN THE MORNING 

[Captioner] 19:57:28
WHEN CHILDREN WALK TO SCHOOL.

[Captioner] 19:57:30
THEY ARE THERE ALL NIGHT WHEN WE 

[Captioner] 19:57:30
SLEEP.

[Captioner] 19:57:33
AND THEY ARE THERE ON THE 

[Captioner] 19:57:34
WEEKEND, WHEN YOUNG CHILDREN 

[Captioner] 19:57:34
PLAY AT THE PARK.

[Captioner] 19:57:39
IF YOU SEE THE HIGH 

[Captioner] 19:57:41
CONCENTRATION OF ALL THESE 

[Captioner] 19:57:42
PARKED CAR WHERE FAMILIES ARE 

[Captioner] 19:57:45
LIVING IN THERE PERMANENTLY, YOU 

[Captioner] 19:57:46
WOULD THINK THIS IS A 

[Captioner] 19:57:46
RESIDENTIAL AREA.

[Captioner] 19:57:48
BUT THE TRUTH IS IT'S FAR FROM 

[Captioner] 19:57:49
IT.

[Captioner] 19:57:51
THIS IS AN AREA WITHIN TWO 

[Captioner] 19:57:54
MINUTE WALKING DISTANCE TO TWO 

[Captioner] 19:57:56
HIGH SCHOOLS, A FREMONT LIBRARY, 

[Captioner] 19:57:59
A COMMUNITY CENTER, AND A 

[Captioner] 19:57:59
CHILDREN'S PLAYGROUND.

[Captioner] 19:58:03
IT'S TRULY A GREAT PLACE TO LIVE 

[Captioner] 19:58:07
AND I CALL HOME,

[Captioner] 19:58:11
 BUT OUR ACCESS TO THE RICH 

[Captioner] 19:58:12
AMENITIES HAS BEEN LIMITED BY 

[Captioner] 19:58:15
ALL THE INDIVIDUAL AND FAMILY 

[Captioner] 19:58:16
LIVING IN THEIR VEHICLE.

[Captioner] 19:58:18
OUR ACCESS TO THE SIDEWALKS HAS 

[Captioner] 19:58:20
BEEN BLOCKED, WE ARE WALKING IN 

[Captioner] 19:58:20
THE STREET.

[Captioner] 19:58:23
THERE'S BEEN NOISE COMPLAINTS.

[Captioner] 19:58:27
MY NEIGHBOR HAS BEEN VICTIM OF 

[Captioner] 19:58:30
CAR BREAK-INS, PACKAGE THEFT, 

[Captioner] 19:58:32
AGAIN, NOISE COMPLAINT.

[Captioner] 19:58:34
THIS, I UNDERSTAND THE CHALLENGE 

[Captioner] 19:58:37
OF HOMELESSNESS, BUT THIS IS A 

[Captioner] 19:58:38
RESIDENTIAL AREA AND IT'S NOT 

[Captioner] 19:58:42
MEANT TO SUPPORT PERMANENT 

[Captioner] 19:58:42
HOUSING LIKE THIS.

[Captioner] 19:58:44
THANK YOU.

[Captioner] 19:59:42
SEPARATED FROM THE GROUP AND 

[Captioner] 19:59:44

[Captioner] 19:59:45
NEGATIVE WAY AND THIS HAS DONE A 

[Captioner] 19:59:47
LOT OF NEGATIVE IMPACT TO THE 

[Captioner] 19:59:47
ASIAN CHEUNTS.

[Captioner] 19:59:50
 THE ASIAN COMMUNITIES.

[Captioner] 19:59:53
SINCE THE CHINESE EX-CLUES ACT, 

[Captioner] 19:59:54
THAT'S THE WORST THING IF THE 

[Captioner] 19:59:56
EXCLUSION ACT WAS NOT CHANGE 

[Captioner] 19:59:58
THEN THE CHINESE STILL CAN NO, 

[Captioner] 20:00:00

[Captioner] 20:00:02

ACCEPTABLE, TTS A VIRUS, AND 

[Captioner] 20:00:48
ALSO YOU WANT TO STOP ASIAN HATE 

[Captioner] 20:00:51

[Captioner] 20:00:54
ADDITIONALLY, FINALLY, THAT 

[Captioner] 20:00:55

ESPECIALLY TO MEET THE GOALS 

[Captioner] 20:01:02

[Captioner] 20:01:19
GENTLEMEN, MAYOR AND THE CITY 

[Captioner] 20:01:19
COUNCIL.

[Captioner] 20:01:20
AND THE STAFF.

[Captioner] 20:01:26
I COME AGAIN WITH THIS SAME 

[Captioner] 20:01:27
ISSUE THAT I HAVE BEEN TALKING 

[Captioner] 20:01:27
ABOUT.

[Captioner] 20:01:33
SHORTAGE OF LOW INCOME HOUSING, 

[Captioner] 20:01:37
BELOW MARKET RATE HOUSING, AND 

[Captioner] 20:01:40
REMOVING OF THIS BLIGHT OUR CITY 

[Captioner] 20:01:42
IS GOING THROUGH DAY BY DAY.

[Captioner] 20:01:46
WE ARE GETTING

[Captioner] 20:01:50
 INTO LIKE MICHIGAN, PLACES LIKE 

[Captioner] 20:01:54
THAT WHERE THE VALUE -- THE 

[Captioner] 20:01:56
CITY, INSTEAD OF BECOMING 

[Captioner] 20:01:59
SOMETHING WHICH IS VERY, VERY 

[Captioner] 20:02:03
APPEALING AND ATTRACTIVE, WE

[Captioner] 20:02:07
 ARE NOT ACHIEVING WHAT WE 

[Captioner] 20:02:08
SHOULD.

[Captioner] 20:02:10
THERE ARE PLACES LIKE MONUMENT 

[Captioner] 20:02:13
PLAZA, THE BOWLING ALLEY, THE 

[Captioner] 20:02:15
CVS PHARMACY ON GRIMMER AND 

[Captioner] 20:02:18
BLACOW, ALL OF THESE SHOPPING 

[Captioner] 20:02:23
CENTERS ARE THERE, WHICH CAN BE 

[Captioner] 20:02:24
REDEVELOPED, WHICH CAN BE MADE 

[Captioner] 20:02:28
INTO LIKE SANTANA ROW, WHERE 

[Captioner] 20:02:28
PEOPLE COME TO FREMONT.

[Captioner] 20:02:33
WE HAVE SO MANY PLACES WHICH CAN

[Captioner] 20:02:35
 BE -- IF PROPER PLANNING IS 

[Captioner] 20:02:39
DONE, WE COULD MAKE

[Captioner] 20:02:41
 JUST AN EXAMPLE IN DALLAS AND 

[Captioner] 20:02:44
OTHER CITIES, THERE ARE SPECIFIC 

[Captioner] 20:02:44
INDIAN MARKETS.

[Captioner] 20:02:47
WE HAVE ONE OF THE BIGGEST 

[Captioner] 20:02:48
INDIAN COMMUNITIES, AND THIS 

[Captioner] 20:02:51
MONUMENT PLAZA ON FREMONT 

[Captioner] 20:02:53
BOULEVARD IN IRVINGTON IS A 

[Captioner] 20:02:56
PRIME EXAMPLE, IF YOU GO THERE 

[Captioner] 20:02:58
YOU CANNOT FIND SPACE TO STAND.

[Captioner] 20:03:01
THIS IS TAX DOLLARS KOJING TO 

[Captioner] 20:03:03
 COMING TO THE CITY.

[Captioner] 20:03:05
THE LAST THING I WOULD LIKE TO 

[Captioner] 20:03:07
SAY IN ALL OF THIS, IF YOU DO 

[Captioner] 20:03:10
REDEVELOPMENT, WE SHOULD HAVE 

[Captioner] 20:03:12
SPECIFICALLY A PORTION SETASIDE 

[Captioner] 20:03:14
FOR THE ESSENTIAL SERVICES LIKE 

[Captioner] 20:03:16

[Captioner] 20:03:18

[Captioner] 20:03:18

DIFFICULT FOR A -- TO ASK A PR 

[Captioner] 20:04:39
AGENCY TO PRACTICE DOUBLE 

[Captioner] 20:04:39
THINK.

[Captioner] 20:04:41

[Captioner] 20:04:43

[Captioner] 20:04:48

[Captioner] 20:04:54
DO YOU BACK FLIPS AND YOU TAKE 

[Captioner] 20:04:55

A FEW YEARS BACK, IN

 2021, CITY'S CODE ENFORCEMENT 

[Captioner] 20:07:14
DECIDED TO RAID MY HOME, AND 

[Captioner] 20:07:16
THEY CAME AND OPENED THE LOCK 

[Captioner] 20:07:17
OFF MY HOME WHILE NONE OF US 

[Captioner] 20:07:17
WERE THERE.

[Captioner] 20:07:20
THEY WENT IN AND THEY DIDN'T GET 

[Captioner] 20:07:22
TO SUIT THEIR AGENDA, SO WHAT 

[Captioner] 20:07:24
THEY DID IN RETALIATION, THEY 

[Captioner] 20:07:26

[Captioner] 20:07:36
SATISFIED, THEY DENIED IT, AND 

[Captioner] 20:07:39
THEY LEFT NOTHING -- AN 

[Captioner] 20:07:40
INVENTORY OR ANYTHING THAT WILL 

[Captioner] 20:07:42
TELL US WHAT THEY HAVE TAKEN, 

[Captioner] 20:07:45
AND IF THEY ARE THE ONLY ONE WHO 

[Captioner] 20:07:47
HAVE GONE IN MY HOME, WHERE THAT 

[Captioner] 20:07:48
PROPERTY DISAPPEARED, IT MAKES 

[Captioner] 20:07:48
NO SENSE.

[Captioner] 20:07:52
THEY DENY US OF THE BODY 

[Captioner] 20:07:54
EXAMPLES, THEY DIDN'T NOT WANT 

[Captioner] 20:07:57

>> THANK YOU, MAYOR MEI.

WE HAVE A PRESENTATION WE CAN 

[Captioner] 20:11:08
PROVIDE IF THE COUNCIL IS 

[Captioner] 20:11:10
INTERESTED, BUT WE'RE ALSO FINE 

[Captioner] 20:11:12
IF YOU WANT TO GO DIRECTLY TO 

[Captioner] 20:11:13
JUST Q & A.

[Captioner] 20:11:16
AND I ALSO WANTED TO INTRODUCE 

[Captioner] 20:11:18
MIKE WAYNE, HE'S OUR ACTING 

[Captioner] 20:11:19
BUILDING OFFICIAL, AND HE RUNS 

[Captioner] 20:11:19

[Captioner] 20:11:20
THANK YOU.

[Captioner] 20:11:23
>> Mayor Mei: WELCOME, MIKE.

[Captioner] 20:11:25
I THINK THIS IS THE FIRST TIME 

[Captioner] 20:11:26
YOU'VE BEEN HERE WITH US?

[Captioner] 20:11:26
>> THANK YOU.

[Captioner] 20:11:32
>> Mayor Mei: THAT SAID, WOULD 

[Captioner] 20:11:33
THE COUNCIL LIKE TO SEE THE 

[Captioner] 20:11:33
PRESENTATION?

[Captioner] 20:11:33
YES.

[Captioner] 20:11:37
IF WE COULD PULL THAT UP, 

[Captioner] 20:11:37
PLEASE.

[Captioner] 20:11:58
>> GOOD EVENING, MAYOR MEI AND 

[Captioner] 20:11:59
MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL.

[Captioner] 20:12:02
AS INTRODUCED, THIS IS AN UPDATE 

[Captioner] 20:12:04
TO THE PLANNING AND BUILDING 

[Captioner] 20:12:05
USER FEES.

[Captioner] 20:12:08
THESE ARE SERVICE FEES SO 

[Captioner] 20:12:11
THEY'RE JUST COST RECOVERY FEES, 

[Captioner] 20:12:15
THEY'RE NOT ANY OF THE BROADER 

[Captioner] 20:12:17
DEVELOPMENT IMPACT OR AFFORDABLE 

[Captioner] 20:12:18
HOUSING IN LIEU FEES.

[Captioner] 20:12:24
THE OBJECTIVE OF THIS UPDATE WAS

[Captioner] 20:12:27
 TO ADJUST ALL OF THE FLAT AND 

[Captioner] 20:12:29
HOURLY BASED FEES TO REFLECT 

[Captioner] 20:12:31
CURRENT STAFF COST FOR THOSE 

[Captioner] 20:12:35
FOLKS WHO PROVIDE THE PERMITTING

[Captioner] 20:12:37
 AND PLANNING SERVICES.

[Captioner] 20:12:39
IT ALSO DOES A LOT OF CLEAN-UP, 

[Captioner] 20:12:42
SO IT DOES ESTABLISH NEW 

[Captioner] 20:12:43
SUBCATEGORIES FOR SOME OF THE 

[Captioner] 20:12:45
DEPOSIT-BASED FEES TO BETTER 

[Captioner] 20:12:47
ALIGN WITH ACTUAL COSTS, AND 

[Captioner] 20:12:49
THESE ARE REALLY A BREAKDOWN OF 

[Captioner] 20:12:51
SOME PRETTY LARGE DEPOSITS INTO 

[Captioner] 20:12:55
MUCH SMALLER DEPOSITS FOR 

[Captioner] 20:12:57
SIMILAR SERVICES THAT ARE JOB 

[Captioner] 20:12:57
COST-RELATED.

[Captioner] 20:13:00
IT DOES ALSO INCORPORATE SOME 

[Captioner] 20:13:03
NEW STATE LAWS THAT REQUIRE 

[Captioner] 20:13:03
SERVICE.

[Captioner] 20:13:08
WE ARE ALSO REQUESTING SOME NEW 

[Captioner] 20:13:10
FEES FOR NEW SERVICES THAT WE'VE 

[Captioner] 20:13:12
IMPLEMENTED BASED ON SOME OF OUR 

[Captioner] 20:13:13
TECHNOLOGY ENHANCEMENTS.

[Captioner] 20:13:17
WE ARE ATTEMPTING TO CLARIFY 

[Captioner] 20:13:21
FEES RELATED TO APPEALS, AND I 

[Captioner] 20:13:22
THINK BEST OF ALL WHAT THIS 

[Captioner] 20:13:24
UPDATE DOES IS IT PULLS TOGETHER 

[Captioner] 20:13:26
ALL OF THE DEVELOPMENT-RELATED 

[Captioner] 20:13:28
FEES OF THE MASTER FEE SCHEDULE 

[Captioner] 20:13:29
INTO ONE SECTION, WHICH ARE 

[Captioner] 20:13:33
CURRENTLY SPREAD OUT ABOUT THE 

[Captioner] 20:13:34
50-PAGE MASTER FEE SCHEDULE.

[Captioner] 20:13:40
SO IT'S BEEN A WHILE SINCE WE'VE 

[Captioner] 20:13:41
UPDATED OUR FEES.

[Captioner] 20:13:44
BUILDING FEES WERE LAST UPDATED 

[Captioner] 20:13:44
IN 2004.

[Captioner] 20:13:46
AND PLANNING FEES WERE LAST 

[Captioner] 20:13:46
UPDATED IN 2014.

[Captioner] 20:13:51
BOTH PLANNING AND BUILDING ARE 

[Captioner] 20:13:53
PART OF ONE OF THE CITY'S COST 

[Captioner] 20:13:56
CENTERS, WHERE SERVICE FEES DO 

[Captioner] 20:14:00
PROVIDE -- RECOVER THE STAFF 

[Captioner] 20:14:03
COSTS REQUIRED FOR THE SERVICE.

[Captioner] 20:14:07
PLANNING, ENGINEERING ARE ALSO 

[Captioner] 20:14:08
PART OF THE DEVELOPMENT COST 

[Captioner] 20:14:08
CENTER.

[Captioner] 20:14:12
BUILDING FEES BASICALLY HAVE A 

[Captioner] 20:14:13
STRUCTURE OF TWO TYPES OF FEES.

[Captioner] 20:14:16
THERE ARE THOSE THAT ARE BASED 

[Captioner] 20:14:18
ON THE VALUATION, THE 

[Captioner] 20:14:20
CONSTRUCTION VALUATION OF A 

[Captioner] 20:14:20
PROJECT.

[Captioner] 20:14:22
THOSE FEES COMPRISE ABOUT 70% OF 

[Captioner] 20:14:24
THE PERMANENT REVENUE.

[Captioner] 20:14:27
THIS UPDATE DOES NOT ADJUST ANY 

[Captioner] 20:14:29
OF THOSE VALUATION-BASED FEES, 

[Captioner] 20:14:31
INSTEAD IT ADJUSTS ALL OF THE 

[Captioner] 20:14:33
FLAT RATE SERVICES AND HOURLY 

[Captioner] 20:14:34
BASE FEES, WHICH ARE THE 

[Captioner] 20:14:36
REMAINING 30% OF THE BUILDING 

[Captioner] 20:14:39
FEE SCHEDULE, AND AS I HAD 

[Captioner] 20:14:42
DESCRIBED, THESE ARE ADJUSTMENTS 

[Captioner] 20:14:45
TO REFLECT THE JOB 

[Captioner] 20:14:46
CLASSIFICATION COSTS TO PROVIDE 

[Captioner] 20:14:47
THOSE SERVICES.

[Captioner] 20:14:52
PLANNING FEES ALSO HAVE A SMALL 

[Captioner] 20:14:54
NUMBER OF FLAT RATE SERVICES, 

[Captioner] 20:14:56
WHICH THE FEE SCHEDULE WILL ALSO 

[Captioner] 20:14:57
UPDATE THE HOURLY RATES AND THE 

[Captioner] 20:14:57
FLAT SERVICES.

[Captioner] 20:15:01
THE MAJORITY OF PLANNING FEES, 

[Captioner] 20:15:04
WHICH IS PROBABLY ABOUT 95% OF 

[Captioner] 20:15:06
THEIR SERVICES ARE 

[Captioner] 20:15:07
DEPOSIT-BASED, WHICH RECOVER THE 

[Captioner] 20:15:08
FULL COST OF THOSE SERVICES.

[Captioner] 20:15:13
AND THIS UPDATE DOES AS I 

[Captioner] 20:15:16
MENTIONED, DOES PROVIDE SOME 

[Captioner] 20:15:18
BREAKDOWN AND BETTER 

[Captioner] 20:15:19
FACILITATION OF THE TYPE OF 

[Captioner] 20:15:21
SERVICES THAT ARE PROVIDED WITH 

[Captioner] 20:15:24
MORE APPROPRIATE DEPOSIT 

[Captioner] 20:15:24
AMOUNTS.

[Captioner] 20:15:30
AN IMPORTANT PART OF THIS UPDATE 

[Captioner] 20:15:32
IS TO ALLOW STAFF TO 

[Captioner] 20:15:33
ADMINISTRATIVELY UPDATE THE 

[Captioner] 20:15:36
HOURLY RATE FEE ANNUALLY BASED 

[Captioner] 20:15:38
ON THE COLA THAT HAD BEEN 

[Captioner] 20:15:40
APPROVED AND IMPLEMENTED THE 

[Captioner] 20:15:40
PRIOR JULY.

[Captioner] 20:15:42
WE'RE SUGGESTING THAT THESE 

[Captioner] 20:15:43
UPDATES OCCUR ON JANUARY 1ST, SO 

[Captioner] 20:15:47
THEY'D FOLLOW THE COLA 

[Captioner] 20:15:49
ADJUSTMENT BY SIX MONTHS.

[Captioner] 20:15:54
SO LIKE MOST STUFF IN 

[Captioner] 20:15:54
DEVELOPMENT, THERE HAVE BEEN A 

[Captioner] 20:15:57
LOT OF LAWS THAT HAVE CHANGED 

[Captioner] 20:16:00
THE WAY WE DO DEVELOPMENT 

[Captioner] 20:16:01
PERMITTING, AND RELATED TO THOSE 

[Captioner] 20:16:03
ARE A NUMBER OF SERVICES.

[Captioner] 20:16:06
THERE'S A LIST OF LAWS HERE.

[Captioner] 20:16:08
WE DESCRIBE THEM IN THE STAFF 

[Captioner] 20:16:08
REPORT.

[Captioner] 20:16:11
BUT ESSENTIALLY ALL OF THESE 

[Captioner] 20:16:12
LAWS REQUIRE A NEW SERVICE.

[Captioner] 20:16:14
WE COULD TALK IN MORE DETAIL 

[Captioner] 20:16:16
ABOUT ANY OF THEM IF YOU'D LIKE, 

[Captioner] 20:16:20
BUT FOR NOW, THEY'RE PRETTY

[Captioner] 20:16:22
 MUCH JUST FLAT-BASED FEES THAT 

[Captioner] 20:16:23
PROVIDE THE SERVICE THAT THE 

[Captioner] 20:16:24
STATE IS REQUIRING WE PROVIDE 

[Captioner] 20:16:25
NOW.

[Captioner] 20:16:32
THE UPDATE ALSO ELIMINATES SOME 

[Captioner] 20:16:33
FEES THAT ARE NO LONGER 

[Captioner] 20:16:35
NECESSARY DUE TO SOME OF OUR 

[Captioner] 20:16:37
TECHNOLOGY ENHANCEMENTS, AND IT 

[Captioner] 20:16:40
ALSO DOES PRIMARILY THE MAJORITY 

[Captioner] 20:16:41
OF THE CHANGES THAT ARE 

[Captioner] 20:16:43
OCCURRING ARE IN THE BUILDING 

[Captioner] 20:16:45
FEE SCHEDULE AND THEY DO RELATE 

[Captioner] 20:16:49
TO THE TRADE PLAN CHECK AND 

[Captioner] 20:16:51
INSPECTION FEES, AND 

[Captioner] 20:16:52
SPECIFICALLY THESE FEES ARE 

[Captioner] 20:16:54
RELATED TO PLUMBING, MECHANICAL 

[Captioner] 20:16:56
AND ELECTRICAL CODE REVIEW AND 

[Captioner] 20:16:56
INSPECTION.

[Captioner] 20:17:00
FOR A PLAN CHECK, WHAT WE'RE 

[Captioner] 20:17:03
PROPOSING IS TO MODIFY THE 

[Captioner] 20:17:06
METHODOLOGIES FOR NEW 

[Captioner] 20:17:07
DEVELOPMENT TO BE A PERCENTAGE 

[Captioner] 20:17:09
OF THE FEE FOR THE BUILDING PLAN 

[Captioner] 20:17:09
CHECK REVIEW.

[Captioner] 20:17:13
WE HAVE FOUND THAT IT IS COMMON 

[Captioner] 20:17:15
FOR OTHER CITIES TO DO A 

[Captioner] 20:17:16
PERCENTAGE BASE FOR NEW 

[Captioner] 20:17:18
DEVELOPMENT AND WE SPEND A LOT 

[Captioner] 20:17:19
OF TIME TRYING TO TRACK TIME AND 

[Captioner] 20:17:22
CHARGE COSTS AND WE DO NOT 

[Captioner] 20:17:23
RECOVER THE COSTS ASSOCIATED 

[Captioner] 20:17:25
WITH THESE TYPES OF PLAN 

[Captioner] 20:17:27
REVIEWS, SO THIS WOULD PROVIDE 

[Captioner] 20:17:28
ANOTHER MECHANISM FOR US TO 

[Captioner] 20:17:30
COLLECT A LARGER AMOUNT OF THE 

[Captioner] 20:17:31
FUNDING UP FRONT TO MAKE SURE WE 

[Captioner] 20:17:32
RECOVER OUR COSTS.

[Captioner] 20:17:35
FOR ADDITIONS AND MODIFICATIONS, 

[Captioner] 20:17:37
WE WOULD MAINTAIN THE SAME 

[Captioner] 20:17:40
HOURLY BASED REVIEW FOR EACH OF 

[Captioner] 20:17:40
THE TRADES.

[Captioner] 20:17:46
FOR INSPECTION TRADES, THIS 

[Captioner] 20:17:48
UPDATE PROVIDES A PRETTY 

[Captioner] 20:17:51
COMPREHENSIVE CHANGE IN THE 

[Captioner] 20:17:53
METHODOLOGY WHERE BACK IN 2004, 

[Captioner] 20:17:56
THERE WAS A TREND GENERALLY FOR 

[Captioner] 20:17:59
ALL CITIES TO COUNT A LOT OF 

[Captioner] 20:18:02
PARTS OF BUILDINGS WHICH IT 

[Captioner] 20:18:03
SWITCHES OUTLETS AND DO 

[Captioner] 20:18:05
INSPECTIONS BASED ON -- CREATE 

[Captioner] 20:18:06
OUR FEES BASED ON THAT.

[Captioner] 20:18:09
SO THIS UPDATE KIND OF 

[Captioner] 20:18:11
COMPREHENSIVELY REALLY REVISES 

[Captioner] 20:18:12
THAT METHODOLOGY SO THAT WE LOOK 

[Captioner] 20:18:14
AT THE TYPE OF INSPECTION 

[Captioner] 20:18:16
REQUIRED AND WE'VE ASSIGNED AN 

[Captioner] 20:18:18
AMOUNT OF TIME IN 15-MINUTE 

[Captioner] 20:18:20
INCREMENTS FOR THOSE TYPES OF 

[Captioner] 20:18:21
INSPECTIONS INSTEAD.

[Captioner] 20:18:23
SO IT'S MUCH MORE UNDERSTANDABLE 

[Captioner] 20:18:24
HOW THESE FEES ARE COMPRISED.

[Captioner] 20:18:32
WE ARE ALSO PROPOSING TO MODIFY 

[Captioner] 20:18:33
THE COMMUNITY PLANNING FEE, AND 

[Captioner] 20:18:36
SO THIS IS ACTUALLY A SURCHARGE 

[Captioner] 20:18:40
THAT WAS ADOPTED

[Captioner] 20:18:43
 IN 2003 AS A FUNDING MECHANISM 

[Captioner] 20:18:44
FOR COMPREHENSIVE GENERAL PLAN 

[Captioner] 20:18:46
AND ZONING CODE UPDATES AND 

[Captioner] 20:18:47
MAINTENANCE ACTIVITIES.

[Captioner] 20:18:51
WE ARE RECOMMENDING THAT THE USE 

[Captioner] 20:18:53
OF THE COMMUNITY PLANNING FEE BE 

[Captioner] 20:18:56
EXPANDED TO INCLUDE 

[Captioner] 20:18:57
IMPLEMENTATION OF THE CLIMATE 

[Captioner] 20:19:00
ACTION PLAN, AND WE'VE BASED 

[Captioner] 20:19:01
THIS AND ARE RECOMMENDING THIS 

[Captioner] 20:19:03
BASED ON THE FACT THAT THE 

[Captioner] 20:19:05
CLIMATE ACTION PLAN WAS DESIGNED 

[Captioner] 20:19:08
AS WHAT'S CONSIDERED A QUALIFIED 

[Captioner] 20:19:12
PLAN, SO THAT UNDER CEQA, NEW 

[Captioner] 20:19:15
DEVELOPMENT BENEFITS BY MAINTAIN 

[Captioner] 20:19:17
CLIMATE ACTION PLAN WHICH MEANS 

[Captioner] 20:19:19
THAT THEY HAVE TO DO LESS 

[Captioner] 20:19:20
ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS WITH 

[Captioner] 20:19:20
THEIR PROJECTS.

[Captioner] 20:19:24
SO THERE ARE SOME NEW SERVICES 

[Captioner] 20:19:26
THAT WE ARE PROVIDING.

[Captioner] 20:19:29
THIS SLIDE ACTUALLY LISTS 

[Captioner] 20:19:30
SERVICES THAT WE PROVIDE TODAY.

[Captioner] 20:19:32
BUT BECAUSE OF THE TECHNOLOGY, 

[Captioner] 20:19:36
WE REALLY SIMPLIFIED AND 

[Captioner] 20:19:37
FORMALIZED THE REQUESTS FOR EACH 

[Captioner] 20:19:40
OF THESE SERVICES.

[Captioner] 20:19:43
WE'VE CREATED NEW RECORD TYPES 

[Captioner] 20:19:44
THROUGH OUR PUBLIC PERMITTING 

[Captioner] 20:19:45
PORTAL TO MAKE IT MUCH EASIER 

[Captioner] 20:19:48
FOR THE PUBLIC TO REQUEST THESE 

[Captioner] 20:19:49
SMALLER TIME-BASED SERVICES.

[Captioner] 20:19:56
THE UPDATE DOES INCORPORATE OVER 

[Captioner] 20:19:58
TIME INSPECTION RATES THAT MATCH 

[Captioner] 20:20:00
WHAT THE LABOR BARGAINING UNIT 

[Captioner] 20:20:02
REQUIRES THAT THE CITY PAY TO 

[Captioner] 20:20:03
INSPECTORS WHEN THEY WORK 

[Captioner] 20:20:03
OVERTIME.

[Captioner] 20:20:08
IT DOES ALSO ESTABLISH AN 

[Captioner] 20:20:09
ADDRESSING FEE FOR NEW 

[Captioner] 20:20:11
DEVELOPMENT REQUIRING ADDRESSING 

[Captioner] 20:20:12
NEW ADDRESSES AND NEW STREET 

[Captioner] 20:20:12
NAMES.

[Captioner] 20:20:15
AND THIS LAST ONE PERMITTING 

[Captioner] 20:20:17
TECHNOLOGY, THIS IS REALLY THE 

[Captioner] 20:20:18
ONE REALLY NEW FEE.

[Captioner] 20:20:20
THIS IS A NEW SURCHARGE THAT 

[Captioner] 20:20:23
WOULD BE APPLIED TO PLANNING, 

[Captioner] 20:20:25
BUILDING AND ENGINEERING PLAN 

[Captioner] 20:20:27
REVIEW AND INSPECTION SERVICES 

[Captioner] 20:20:30
THAT WOULD RECOVER A PART OF THE 

[Captioner] 20:20:31
COST ASSOCIATED WITH ALL OF THE 

[Captioner] 20:20:32
PERMITTING SOFTWARE THAT THE 

[Captioner] 20:20:34
CITY PAYS FOR TO SUPPORT 

[Captioner] 20:20:34
DEVELOPMENT.

[Captioner] 20:20:38
WE DID SURVEY A LOT FOR THIS 

[Captioner] 20:20:39
UPDATE, AND WE FOUND THAT THERE 

[Captioner] 20:20:42
ARE A NUMBER OF OTHER CITIES, 16 

[Captioner] 20:20:44
CITIES IN THE BAY AREA THAT HAVE 

[Captioner] 20:20:47
A TECHNOLOGY FEE, A SIMILAR FEE, 

[Captioner] 20:20:51
WITH A BROAD RANGE OF AMOUNTS 

[Captioner] 20:20:53
CHARGED, SO RANGING FROM 2 TO 

[Captioner] 20:20:55
16%, WE ARE RECOMMENDING 3%, 

[Captioner] 20:20:57
WHICH IS ON THE LOWER END, BUT 

[Captioner] 20:21:00
WE BELIEVE 3% WOULD BE 

[Captioner] 20:21:00
ADEQUATE.

[Captioner] 20:21:08
LASTLY, THIS UPDATE DOES PROVIDE 

[Captioner] 20:21:10
CLARIFICATION ON HOW APPEALS ARE 

[Captioner] 20:21:14
PAID FOR RELATED TO DEVELOPMENT 

[Captioner] 20:21:14
ACTIONS.

[Captioner] 20:21:18
WE ARE RECOMMENDING THAT THE 

[Captioner] 20:21:22
CITY DOES ESTABLISH A SEPARATE 

[Captioner] 20:21:23
APPEAL RATE FOR RESIDENTS, WHICH 

[Captioner] 20:21:26
WOULD BE HALF OF THE DEPOSIT 

[Captioner] 20:21:28
AMOUNT THAT WE WOULD CHARGE FOR 

[Captioner] 20:21:32
APPLICANTS OR THIRD PARTIES.

[Captioner] 20:21:34
THIS IS -- IT'S IMPORTANT TO 

[Captioner] 20:21:36
NOTE WITH THIS, THOUGH, THAT 

[Captioner] 20:21:38
BECAUSE OF THE WAY THAT 

[Captioner] 20:21:40
DEVELOPMENT ACTIONS ARE PAID 

[Captioner] 20:21:43
FOR, IT IS STILL A FULL COST 

[Captioner] 20:21:45
RECOVERY ON THE APPEAL, SO A 

[Captioner] 20:21:46
RESIDENT MAY LAKELY STILL HAVE 

[Captioner] 20:21:49
TO PAY ADDITIONAL MONEY THAN THE 

[Captioner] 20:21:50
DEPOSIT THAT THEY WOULD PAY UP 

[Captioner] 20:21:50
FRONT.

[Captioner] 20:21:55
AND LASTLY, THIS UPDATE DOES

[Captioner] 20:21:57
 ALIGN AND BRINGS ENGINEERING 

[Captioner] 20:22:00
APPEAL ACTIONS, CONSISTENT WITH 

[Captioner] 20:22:01
THOSE FOR PLANNING ACTION.

[Captioner] 20:22:08
SO AS I MENTIONED, WE DID 

[Captioner] 20:22:09
SURVEY, AND ATTACHMENT TO THE 

[Captioner] 20:22:10
STAFF REPORT PROVIDES THE FULL 

[Captioner] 20:22:12
SURVEY RESULTS AND WHAT WE 

[Captioner] 20:22:12
LOOKED AT.

[Captioner] 20:22:15
THE SURVEY WAS FOCUSED ON THE 

[Captioner] 20:22:17
BUILDING FEES BECAUSE THE ENTIRE 

[Captioner] 20:22:20
BUILDING FEE SCHEDULE IS BEING 

[Captioner] 20:22:22
 UPDATED.

[Captioner] 20:22:24
WHAT WE FOUND IS OUR FEES ARE 

[Captioner] 20:22:25
JEBLY COMPARABLE WITH THOSE IN 

[Captioner] 20:22:29
THE REGION AND IN THE BAY

[Captioner] 20:22:31
 AREA.

[Captioner] 20:22:32
AND THAT'S WHAT WE HAVE.

[Captioner] 20:22:34
SO WE HAVE -- WE COULD PROVIDE A 

[Captioner] 20:22:35
LOT MORE DETAIL OR ANSWER 

[Captioner] 20:22:36
WHATEVER QUESTIONS YOU HAVE.

[Captioner] 20:22:36
THANK YOU.

[Captioner] 20:22:40
>> Mayor Mei: SURE, THANK YOU 

[Captioner] 20:22:42
FOR THE PRESENTATION, AND I'LL 

[Captioner] 20:22:45
BEGIN I THINK WITH VICE MAYOR 

[Captioner] 20:22:46
YANG SHAO, DID YOU HAVE 

[Captioner] 20:22:46
QUESTIONS?

[Captioner] 20:22:50
>> Vice Mayor Shao: NO.

[Captioner] 20:22:55
ACTUALLY THE REASON WHY I ASKED 

[Captioner] 20:22:59
FOR THE PRESENTATION IS NOT 

[Captioner] 20:23:01
BECAUSE I JUST PREVIEWED THIS 

[Captioner] 20:23:02
MATERIAL IN ADVANCE, IT'S JUST 

[Captioner] 20:23:03
FOR THE PUBLIC.

[Captioner] 20:23:07
SO THAT THEY WILL UNDERSTAND 

[Captioner] 20:23:07
WHAT IS GOING ON.

[Captioner] 20:23:08
THANK YOU.

[Captioner] 20:23:11
>> Mayor Mei: THANK YOU FOR THAT 

[Captioner] 20:23:11
CLARIFICATION.

[Captioner] 20:23:16
SO THERE'S NO OTHER ADDITIONAL 

[Captioner] 20:23:16
QUESTIONS?

[Captioner] 20:23:17
COUNCILMEMBER CAMPBELL, 

[Captioner] 20:23:17
CLARIFYING QUESTIONS?

[Captioner] 20:23:21
>> Councilmember Campbell: IF I 

[Captioner] 20:23:22
CAN FIGURE OUT HOW TO TURN THE 

[Captioner] 20:23:22
MIC ON.

[Captioner] 20:23:24
I'M SORRY, I'VE NEVER MET YOU, 

[Captioner] 20:23:26
AND THERE'S NO NAME TAG, AND HE 

[Captioner] 20:23:27
DIDN'T INTRODUCE YOU.

[Captioner] 20:23:29
CAN YOU JUST TELL ME WHO YOU 

[Captioner] 20:23:30
ARE?

[Captioner] 20:23:30
YES, PLEASE.

[Captioner] 20:23:32
>> YES, MA'AM --

[Captioner] 20:23:33
>> Councilmember Campbell: NOT 

[Captioner] 20:23:33
YOU.

[Captioner] 20:23:36
I'M SORRY, THE MIDDLE -- THE 

[Captioner] 20:23:36
SPEAKER, PLEASE.

[Captioner] 20:23:40
>> MY NAME IS JENNIFER

[Captioner] 20:23:42
 CRAVEN, BUSINESS MANAGER FOR 

[Captioner] 20:23:42
DAN.

[Captioner] 20:23:43
>> Councilmember Campbell: THANK 

[Captioner] 20:23:43
YOU, JENNIFER.

[Captioner] 20:23:44
I DO HAVE A QUICK QUESTION ABOUT 

[Captioner] 20:23:47
WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THERE'S SALARY 

[Captioner] 20:23:48
CHANGES?

[Captioner] 20:23:50
ARE THEY INCLUDED IN HERE 

[Captioner] 20:23:50
THROUGH NEGOTIATIONS?

[Captioner] 20:23:57
>> THIS UPDATE DOES PROPOSE TO 

[Captioner] 20:23:59
ALLOW STAFF TO ADMINISTRATIVELY 

[Captioner] 20:24:01
UPDATE THE HOURLY RATES BASED ON 

[Captioner] 20:24:03
WHATEVER THE COST OF LIVING 

[Captioner] 20:24:04
ADJUSTMENT IS FROM THE PRIOR 

[Captioner] 20:24:05
YEAR.

[Captioner] 20:24:07
SO IT WOULD -- IT DOES NOT TODAY 

[Captioner] 20:24:08
AND IT NEVER HAS.

[Captioner] 20:24:09
>> Councilmember Campbell: 

[Captioner] 20:24:12
RIGHT, BECAUSE YOU SAID THAT IT 

[Captioner] 20:24:14
HADN'T BEEN UPDATED SINCE 2004, 

[Captioner] 20:24:18
SO THAT MEANS THAT NEGOTIATED 

[Captioner] 20:24:19
SALARY CHANGES WERE NOT INCLUDED 

[Captioner] 20:24:20
IN THAT?

[Captioner] 20:24:23
>> YEAH, IN 2004, THE FEE BASIS 

[Captioner] 20:24:25
WAS ALL THAT WIDGET COUNTING, SO 

[Captioner] 20:24:27
IT WAS JUST A VERY DIFFERENT 

[Captioner] 20:24:28
METHODOLOGY AND FEE STRUCTURE.

[Captioner] 20:24:31
SO WE'RE SWITCHING AS WE SWITCH 

[Captioner] 20:24:34
TO REALLY BASE -- THE FEES ARE 

[Captioner] 20:24:36
BASED ON A SPECIFIC JOB 

[Captioner] 20:24:39
CLASSIFICATION AND AN AMOUNT OF 

[Captioner] 20:24:42
TIME, PUBLISHED JOB SALARY 

[Captioner] 20:24:42
SCHEDULE.

[Captioner] 20:24:45
THIS UPDATE IS ASKING THAT THE 

[Captioner] 20:24:47
COUNCIL JUST LET US UPDATE THE 

[Captioner] 20:24:49
HOURLY RATES BASED ON --

[Captioner] 20:24:50
>> Councilmember Campbell: THE 

[Captioner] 20:24:51
CURRENT FEE SCHEDULE.

[Captioner] 20:24:51
>> YEAH.

[Captioner] 20:24:53
>> Councilmember Campbell: I GET 

[Captioner] 20:24:54
THAT, SO MAYBE I HAVE TO REFRAME 

[Captioner] 20:24:54
MY QUESTION.

[Captioner] 20:25:00
THE SALARIES CHANGE

[Captioner] 20:25:02
 PROBABLY YEARLY, AND SO MY 

[Captioner] 20:25:05
QUESTION IS, IF THE SALARIES 

[Captioner] 20:25:06
CHANGE YEARLY, AND YOU'RE NOT 

[Captioner] 20:25:08
CHANGING THE FEE SCHEDULE, WHAT 

[Captioner] 20:25:09
HAPPENS TO THE OFFSET?

[Captioner] 20:25:13
BECAUSE YOU'RE NOT RECOVERING.

[Captioner] 20:25:16
I MEAN, YOU COULDN'T IF YOU 

[Captioner] 20:25:16
DON'T INCREASE THE FEE, RIGHT?

[Captioner] 20:25:20
>> City Mgr. Shackelford: SO 

[Captioner] 20:25:21
WHAT THIS STAFF REPORT IS 

[Captioner] 20:25:22
PROPOSING, SINCE WE HAVEN'T BEEN 

[Captioner] 20:25:24
DOING THAT, WE WEREN'T DOING 

[Captioner] 20:25:25
THAT IN THE PAST, WHAT IT'S 

[Captioner] 20:25:26
PROPOSING IS THAT ON A 

[Captioner] 20:25:29
GO-FORWARD BASIS, THAT AS 

[Captioner] 20:25:30
SALARIES CHANGE BASED ON COST OF 

[Captioner] 20:25:32
LIVING ADJUSTMENTS, WE'RE ABLE 

[Captioner] 20:25:34
TO ADMINISTRATIVELY MAKE THOSE 

[Captioner] 20:25:36
CHANGES AS OPPOSED TO HAVING TO 

[Captioner] 20:25:39
COME BACK WITH THE UPDATE TO THE 

[Captioner] 20:25:40
FEE SCHEDULE EACH TIME.

[Captioner] 20:25:41
>> Councilmember Campbell: GOT 

[Captioner] 20:25:41
IT.

[Captioner] 20:25:43
THANK YOU FOR THAT 

[Captioner] 20:25:44
CLARIFICATION, BECAUSE I JUST 

[Captioner] 20:25:46
COULDN'T WRAP MY HEAD AROUND THE MATH.

[Captioner] 20:25:50
AND THEN THE OTHER QUESTION IS, 

[Captioner] 20:25:51
ARE THESE SLIDES GOING TO BE 

[Captioner] 20:25:54
AVAILABLE TO US IN THE NEXT 

[Captioner] 20:25:55
SEVERAL DAYS OR SO?

[Captioner] 20:25:58
BECAUSE I DIDN'T SEE THEM ON THE 

[Captioner] 20:25:58
AGENDA.

[Captioner] 20:25:59
>> Ms. Gauthier: I CAN POST THEM 

[Captioner] 20:25:59
TO THE WEBSITE TOMORROW.

[Captioner] 20:26:00
>> Councilmember Campbell: 

[Captioner] 20:26:00
OKAY.

[Captioner] 20:26:01
THANK YOU SO MUCH.

[Captioner] 20:26:02
THANK YOU, JENNIFER.

[Captioner] 20:26:06
>> Mayor Mei: THANK YOU.

[Captioner] 20:26:08
CLARIFYING QUESTIONS, 

[Captioner] 20:26:10
COUNCILMEMBER COX.

[Captioner] 20:26:11
>> Councilmember Cox: THANK YOU 

[Captioner] 20:26:14
SO MUCH FOR THE PRESENTATION.

[Captioner] 20:26:17
I REALLY APPLAUD THE STAFF FOR 

[Captioner] 20:26:21
SMOOTHING OUT A LOT OF THE FEES, 

[Captioner] 20:26:22
AND ESPECIALLY EACH TIME WHEN 

[Captioner] 20:26:24
YOU GET A PERMIT FOR ELECTRICAL 

[Captioner] 20:26:26
AND PLUMBING, THAT NOW YOU'VE 

[Captioner] 20:26:30
GONE TO A STANDARD $145 PER 

[Captioner] 20:26:31
RECORD, SO I REALLY THINK THAT 

[Captioner] 20:26:35
THAT WILL HELP US IN MINIMIZING 

[Captioner] 20:26:38
THE AMOUNT OF WORK, INCREASING 

[Captioner] 20:26:39
PRODUCTIVITY, AND THOSE 

[Captioner] 20:26:39
ASPECTS.

[Captioner] 20:26:42
ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I WANTED 

[Captioner] 20:26:45
TO UNDERSTAND WAS THAT I 

[Captioner] 20:26:48
APPRECIATE YOU SELECTING THE 3%, 

[Captioner] 20:26:49
WHICH PUTS US REALLY GOOD ON THE 

[Captioner] 20:26:51
TECH FEES FOR PERMITTING, BUT 

[Captioner] 20:26:54
WHEN I DID THE AVERAGE, EVEN IT 

[Captioner] 20:26:57
CAME OUT TO 6.56%, AND WE'RE 

[Captioner] 20:26:59
STILL GOING TO CHARGE 3%.

[Captioner] 20:27:04
AND SO I WAS JUST -- YOU KNOW, I 

[Captioner] 20:27:08
KNOW YOU SELECTED THE NUMBER AND 

[Captioner] 20:27:09
THIS WILL HELP THOSE THAT ARE 

[Captioner] 20:27:10
GOING THROUGH IT, SO I JUST 

[Captioner] 20:27:12
WANTED TO POINT THAT OUT WHEN I 

[Captioner] 20:27:14
DID THE AVERAGE, IT WAS 6.56.

[Captioner] 20:27:17
ONE OF THE QUESTIONS I DID HAVE 

[Captioner] 20:27:20
IS I KNOW WE'RE GOING GREEN, AND 

[Captioner] 20:27:21
SO YOU'RE ELIMINATING A LOT OF 

[Captioner] 20:27:24
THE DOCUMENTS IMAGING FEES.

[Captioner] 20:27:28
HOW LONG DO YOU KEEP THE RECORDS 

[Captioner] 20:27:32
FOR ALL OF OUR BUILDING PERMITS 

[Captioner] 20:27:34
AND ALL OF THESE REVIEWS AND 

[Captioner] 20:27:37
PLANS, WHAT'S YOUR RETENTION IN 

[Captioner] 20:27:38
A NUMBER OF YEARS?

[Captioner] 20:27:39
DO YOU KEEP --

[Captioner] 20:27:40
>> THEY ARE KEPT FOREVER.

[Captioner] 20:27:41
>> Councilmember Cox: THEY'RE 

[Captioner] 20:27:42
KEPT FOREVER?

[Captioner] 20:27:43
OH, OKAY.

[Captioner] 20:27:45
I DIDN'T KNOW THAT.

[Captioner] 20:27:50
THAT'S A LOT OF STORAGE OVER THE 

[Captioner] 20:27:50
YEAR.

[Captioner] 20:27:52
 YEARS.

[Captioner] 20:27:54
>> DIGITAL HELPS A LOT.

[Captioner] 20:27:55
>> Councilmember Cox: OKAY.

[Captioner] 20:27:59
THAT ANSWERS MY OTHER QUESTION.

[Captioner] 20:28:02
WHEN I GET TO NUMBER 89, IN 

[Captioner] 20:28:04
ATTACHMENT 3, THERE WAS A 

[Captioner] 20:28:06
REFERENCE WHICH A LOT OF OUR 

[Captioner] 20:28:08
RESIDENTS MAY HAVE THE QUESTION 

[Captioner] 20:28:10
OF THE KITCHEN AND BATH 

[Captioner] 20:28:11
REMODELING LIKE FOR LIKE.

[Captioner] 20:28:11
>> SURE.

[Captioner] 20:28:13
>> Councilmember Cox: IS THIS 

[Captioner] 20:28:16
TOTALLY LIKE A TOTAL REPLACEMENT 

[Captioner] 20:28:19
OF THE ENTIRE BATHROOM OR 

[Captioner] 20:28:22
KITCHEN VERSUS YOU'RE GOING IN 

[Captioner] 20:28:26
TO REPAIR THE FLOOR OR THE 

[Captioner] 20:28:27
LEAKING SINK OR BATHTUB, AND I 

[Captioner] 20:28:29
JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE BECAUSE 

[Captioner] 20:28:33
THAT WASN'T AS DISTINGUISHED BUT

[Captioner] 20:28:35
 ASSUMED, BUT JUST THOUGHT I 

[Captioner] 20:28:35
WANT TO CLARIFY THAT.

[Captioner] 20:28:37
>> SURE, THE KITCHEN AND BATH 

[Captioner] 20:28:39
REMODEL LIKE FOR LIKE IS ONE OF 

[Captioner] 20:28:40
OUR EXPRESS PERMITS.

[Captioner] 20:28:43
AND IT'S ACTUALLY A RECENT 

[Captioner] 20:28:46
OFFERING THAT WE'VE AVAILED TO 

[Captioner] 20:28:46
THE PUBLIC.

[Captioner] 20:28:49
AND THIS IS A PERMIT THAT DOES 

[Captioner] 20:28:52
NOT REQUIRE A PLAN CHECK.

[Captioner] 20:28:54
AND BECAUSE IT DOESN'T REQUIRE A 

[Captioner] 20:28:55
PLAN CHECK, IT LIKE FOR LIKE AND 

[Captioner] 20:28:59
I'LL GET TO THAT EXACT POINT 

[Captioner] 20:29:00
THAT YOU ASKED.

[Captioner] 20:29:03
WE CAN -- THE PUBLIC CAN SUBMIT 

[Captioner] 20:29:05
AND REQUEST THE PERMIT ONLINE 

[Captioner] 20:29:06
AND IT'S ISSUED AUTOMATICALLY, 

[Captioner] 20:29:08
THEY JUST HAVE TO ANSWER ALL THE 

[Captioner] 20:29:09
QUESTIONS, PROVIDE ALL THE 

[Captioner] 20:29:10
DOCUMENTATION AND AGREE TO ALL 

[Captioner] 20:29:11
OF THE REQUIREMENTS.

[Captioner] 20:29:14
THE LIKE FOR LIKE REQUIREMENT 

[Captioner] 20:29:18
MEANS THAT THERE'S NO STRUCTURAL 

[Captioner] 20:29:19
CHANGE TO THE KITCHEN OR THE 

[Captioner] 20:29:21
BATHROOM, WHICH MEEFNS THEY'RE 

[Captioner] 20:29:25
 MEANS THEY'RE NOT MODIFYING THE 

[Captioner] 20:29:25
WALLS OR THE FLOOR.

[Captioner] 20:29:28
THEY COULD REMOVE EVERYTHING, 

[Captioner] 20:29:29
CORRECT, THEY COULD REMOVE ALL 

[Captioner] 20:29:32
THE CABINETS, THE KITCHEN 

[Captioner] 20:29:34
APPLIANCES, THEY COULDN'T MOVE 

[Captioner] 20:29:35
WALLS, THOUGH, OR PUT WALLS IN.

[Captioner] 20:29:37
THAT WOULD REQUIRE A PLAN 

[Captioner] 20:29:37
REVIEW.

[Captioner] 20:29:39
SO IF SOMEBODY WANTED TO TAKE A 

[Captioner] 20:29:40
WALL DOWN, THEY WOULD NEED TO 

[Captioner] 20:29:42
SUBMIT FOR A PLAN CHECK, BUT 

[Captioner] 20:29:43
OTHERWISE THEY COULD SUBMIT -- 

[Captioner] 20:29:46
THIS IS ACTUALLY A PROJECT -- 

[Captioner] 20:29:48
REVIEW TYPE THAT WE HAD A VERY, 

[Captioner] 20:29:52
VERY HIGH INCREASE IN THROUGHOUT 

[Captioner] 20:29:53
THE PANDEMIC, WHICH MAKES SENSE 

[Captioner] 20:29:54
BECAUSE PEOPLE WERE WORKING FROM 

[Captioner] 20:29:56
HOME AND THEY DID A LOT OF HOME 

[Captioner] 20:29:59
PROJECTS, SO IT IS A PRETTY HIGH 

[Captioner] 20:29:59
VOLUME PERMIT.

[Captioner] 20:30:01
>> Councilmember Cox: SO 

[Captioner] 20:30:02
BASICALLY YOU'RE SAYING IF WE 

[Captioner] 20:30:04
MOVE THE WALL, THEN YOU'VE GOT 

[Captioner] 20:30:06
TO GO THROUGH A PLAN REVIEW PLUS 

[Captioner] 20:30:09
GOING THROUGH THE REGULAR 

[Captioner] 20:30:11
PERMITTING PROCESS, BUT IF YOU 

[Captioner] 20:30:13
JUST DO WHATEVER IS THERE, AS 

[Captioner] 20:30:16
LONG AS YOU DON'T TOUCH THE 

[Captioner] 20:30:19
WALLS, THEN IT'S CONSIDERED AN 

[Captioner] 20:30:19
EXPRESS PERMIT.

[Captioner] 20:30:20
>> CORRECT.

[Captioner] 20:30:23
>> Councilmember Cox: OKAY, AND 

[Captioner] 20:30:24
THAT'S REQUIRING JUST A VISIT?

[Captioner] 20:30:26
>> YOU CAN DO IT ALL ONLINE FROM 

[Captioner] 20:30:26
HOME.

[Captioner] 20:30:27
>> Councilmember Cox: YOU CAN DO 

[Captioner] 20:30:29
IT FROM HOME, BUT THERE HAS TO 

[Captioner] 20:30:30
BE A STAFF THAT STILL HAS TO 

[Captioner] 20:30:32
CHECK IT, THERE'S NO CHECK BY 

[Captioner] 20:30:33
PHYSICAL STAFF AT ALL.

[Captioner] 20:30:33
>> NOPE.

[Captioner] 20:30:34
THERE'S AN INSPECTION.

[Captioner] 20:30:36
>> Councilmember Cox: I MEAN 

[Captioner] 20:30:37
INSPECTION, I'M SORRY.

[Captioner] 20:30:39
THAT'S WHAT I MEANT.

[Captioner] 20:30:41
YOU HAVE TO HAVE AT LEAST ONE OR 

[Captioner] 20:30:42
TWO VISITS FOR THAT, BUT OUTSIDE 

[Captioner] 20:30:44
OF THAT, EVERYTHING ELSE IS 

[Captioner] 20:30:45
AUTOMATED?

[Captioner] 20:30:45
>> CORRECT.

[Captioner] 20:30:46
>> Councilmember Cox: OKAY, 

[Captioner] 20:30:46
GREAT.

[Captioner] 20:30:51
I JUST WANTED TOTHERE

[Captioner] 20:30:52
 WAS ONE MENTION AND I GOT 

[Captioner] 20:30:53
TO FIND THE SPOT.

[Captioner] 20:30:57
IT TALKED ABOUT DISABLED ACCESS.

[Captioner] 20:31:00
COMPLIANCE WAIVER ON HARDSHIP.

[Captioner] 20:31:01
COULD YOU EXPLAIN A LITTLE BIT 

[Captioner] 20:31:04
MORE ABOUT THAT?

[Captioner] 20:31:06
>> I NEED TO DEFER TO MIKE ON 

[Captioner] 20:31:07
THAT ONE.

[Captioner] 20:31:08
>> Councilmember Cox:   OKAY, 

[Captioner] 20:31:09
MIKE.

[Captioner] 20:31:10
>> SO THE HARDSHIP IS FOR 

[Captioner] 20:31:13
BUSINESSES THAT HAVE A PHYSICAL 

[Captioner] 20:31:16
CONSTRAINT TO THEIR BUSINESS 

[Captioner] 20:31:20
BASED UPON THE SITE CONSTRAINTS

[Captioner] 20:31:22
.

[Captioner] 20:31:25
SO THE HARDSHIP WOULD BE VIEWED, 

[Captioner] 20:31:30
REVIEWED AND VIEWED FOR

[Captioner] 20:31:30
 

[Captioner] 20:31:34
 

[Captioner] 20:31:34
COMPLIANCE AND COMPLEXITY.

[Captioner] 20:31:36
AND WOULD MOST LIKELY TAKE A 

[Captioner] 20:31:40
SITE VISIT TO VERIFY AND SEE IF 

[Captioner] 20:31:42
THE REASONS ARE VALID.

[Captioner] 20:31:45
>> Councilmember Cox:   OKAY SO 

[Captioner] 20:31:47
GENERALLY BECAUSE ADA REQUIRES, 

[Captioner] 20:31:48
YOU KNOW, THINGS TO BE CERTAIN 

[Captioner] 20:31:52
HEIGHT, WIDTH, ALL THOSE KIND OF 

[Captioner] 20:31:53
THINGS, SO IN THIS SPECIAL CASE 

[Captioner] 20:31:57
THEN THE CITY WOULD REVIEW AND 

[Captioner] 20:31:59
THEN POSSIBLY WAIVE THE FEES 

[Captioner] 20:32:02
BASED ON SOME SORT OF THE 

[Captioner] 20:32:04
HARDSHIP WITH THAT?

[Captioner] 20:32:05
>> THERE MAY BE TRADEOFFS BASED 

[Captioner] 20:32:09
ON THE CONSTRAINTS OF THE SITE.

[Captioner] 20:32:10
SO IF YOU'RE LOOKING AT A 

[Captioner] 20:32:13
PARKING LOT FOR EXAMPLE, THEN IF 

[Captioner] 20:32:17
THERE'S ISSUES WITH THE SITE, OR

[Captioner] 20:32:17
 

[Captioner] 20:32:21
THE GRADE OF THE SITE, AND 

[Captioner] 20:32:24
THERE'S CERTAIN PARAMETERS, 

[Captioner] 20:32:27
USUALLY YOU HAVE TO SPEND 20% OF 

[Captioner] 20:32:30
YOUR UPGRADE TOWARDS THE ADA 

[Captioner] 20:32:31
COMPLIANCE.

[Captioner] 20:32:31
>> Councilmember Cox:   RIGHT, 

[Captioner] 20:32:33
OKAY.

[Captioner] 20:32:35
>> SO IF IT EXCEEDED THAT, THEN 

[Captioner] 20:32:36
THAT WOULD BE SOMETHING WE WOULD 

[Captioner] 20:32:37
LOOK AT.

[Captioner] 20:32:38
>> Councilmember Cox:   OH I 

[Captioner] 20:32:40
SEE, OKAY, OKAY AND THAT WOULD 

[Captioner] 20:32:41
BE AT THE DISCRETION OF THE 

[Captioner] 20:32:42
DEPARTMENT TO REVIEW THOSE 

[Captioner] 20:32:43
CONDITIONS?

[Captioner] 20:32:44
>> CORRECT, CORRECT.

[Captioner] 20:32:45
>> Councilmember Cox:   OKAY, 

[Captioner] 20:32:48

[Captioner] 20:32:48

PROJECT RECOMMENDATIONS.

[Captioner] 20:35:12
I'M NOT FAMILIAR WITH SOME OF 

[Captioner] 20:35:12
THEM.

[Captioner] 20:35:15
>> YES, SURE.

[Captioner] 20:35:19
SO WE HAVE FOUR, I BELIEVE, 

[Captioner] 20:35:21
CAPITAL PROJECT 

[Captioner] 20:35:21
RECOMMENDATIONS.

[Captioner] 20:35:26
AND THEY ARE ON, LET'S SEE HERE

[Captioner] 20:35:29
, 

[Captioner] 20:35:31
TABLE 2 WHICH IS PAGE 5 OF THE 

[Captioner] 20:35:32
STAFF REPORT.

[Captioner] 20:35:36
THE FIRST ONE IS, HABITAT FOR 

[Captioner] 20:35:38
HUMANITY EAST BAY SILICON VALLEY 

[Captioner] 20:35:42
HOUSING REHABILITATION.

[Captioner] 20:35:44
THAT IS A PROGRAM WE CIRCULATE 

[Captioner] 20:35:46
BEEN DOING WITH HABITAT FOR SOME 

[Captioner] 20:35:48
YEARS NOW, SINGLE FAMILY HOMES 

[Captioner] 20:35:50
AND MOBILE HOMES.

[Captioner] 20:35:53
THEY REHABILITATE AROUND 15, 20 

[Captioner] 20:35:55
HOMES A YEAR WITH THE FUNDING 

[Captioner] 20:35:56
THAT WE GRANT THEM.

[Captioner] 20:35:58

[Captioner] 20:36:03
FINDING IN THE FACILITY 

[Captioner] 20:36:03
PROJECT.

[Captioner] 20:36:05
THAT IS THE FREMONT FAMILY 

[Captioner] 20:36:06
RESOURCE CENTER ACROSS THE 

[Captioner] 20:36:07
STREET WHERE WE'LL BE IMPROVING 

[Captioner] 20:36:12
THE SIGNAGE BECAUSE THEY'RE TWO 

[Captioner] 20:36:13
RATHER LARGE BUILDINGS AND FOLKS 

[Captioner] 20:36:14
-- AND WE HAVE A LOT OF 

[Captioner] 20:36:17
SERVICES PROVIDING THERE, WE 

[Captioner] 20:36:19
WANT TO MAKE SURE THEY ARE ABLE 

[Captioner] 20:36:21
TO GET THE SERVICES THEY ARE 

[Captioner] 20:36:22
GOING FOR.

[Captioner] 20:36:24
>> IN MULTIPLE LANGUAGES.

[Captioner] 20:36:26
>> MULTIPLE LANGUAGES, FOR THAT 

[Captioner] 20:36:28
WE WILL BE HIRING A CONSULTANT 

[Captioner] 20:36:29
TO DOUGH OUR DESIGN WORK AND 

[Captioner] 20:36:30
THEN PUTTING THAT TOGETHER.

[Captioner] 20:36:34
THE THIRD PROJECT IS THE MID 

[Captioner] 20:36:38
PENN HOUSING PROJECT,

[Captioner] 20:36:38
 FACILITY 

[Captioner] 20:36:39
REHABILITATION.

[Captioner] 20:36:41
THESE ARE TWO AFFORDABLE HOUSING 

[Captioner] 20:36:42
PROJECTS IN THE CITY OF FREMONT, 

[Captioner] 20:36:45
THAT WILL BE GOING UNDER A 

[Captioner] 20:36:49
MASSIVE REHABILITATION PROJECT.

[Captioner] 20:36:51
MID PENN WILL ACTUALLY BE USING 

[Captioner] 20:36:53
OUR FUNDING TO LEVERAGE 

[Captioner] 20:36:55
ADDITIONAL STATE FUNDING.

[Captioner] 20:36:57
MILLIONS IN STATE FUNDING TO 

[Captioner] 20:36:58
BOTH BUILDINGS.

[Captioner] 20:37:01
SO THIS ONE'S GOING TO BE 

[Captioner] 20:37:02
IMPORTANT BECAUSE THEY'RE GOING 

[Captioner] 20:37:05
TO BE DOING A LOT OF FLOORING, 

[Captioner] 20:37:10
CABINETS, TABLE -- AND PLUMBING 

[Captioner] 20:37:12
WORK IN THESE BUILDINGS.

[Captioner] 20:37:12

[Captioner] 20:37:14
THIS A MULTIFAMILY PROJECT OR 

[Captioner] 20:37:15
JUST --

[Captioner] 20:37:17
>> YES, BOTH MULTIFAMILY 

[Captioner] 20:37:18
PROJECTS.

[Captioner] 20:37:20
>> The Clerk:   AND HOW MANY 

[Captioner] 20:37:22
UNITS?

[Captioner] 20:37:24
>> OH MAN, GOOD QUESTION.

[Captioner] 20:37:25
THINK I HAVE THAT HERE.

[Captioner] 20:37:28
HERE WEEDS GO.

[Captioner] 20:37:30
130 UNITS TOTAL.

[Captioner] 20:37:30
>> Councilmember Salwan:   

[Captioner] 20:37:30
OKAY.

[Captioner] 20:37:34
OKAY.

[Captioner] 20:37:36
>> AND THEN THE LAST ONE IS SAFE 

[Captioner] 20:37:37
ALTERNATIVES TO VIOLENT 

[Captioner] 20:37:38
ENVIRONMENTS.

[Captioner] 20:37:40
THIS IS RADIO SHELTER FOR 

[Captioner] 20:37:42
DOMESTIC VIOLENCE SURVIVORS.

[Captioner] 20:37:44
THEY ARE REHABILITATING THEIR 

[Captioner] 20:37:45
PLAYGROUND AND THEIR SHELTER 

[Captioner] 20:37:48
WHICH IS SEVERELY OUTDATED AND 

[Captioner] 20:37:49
NEEDS TO BE REPLACED.

[Captioner] 20:37:51
>> Councilmember Salwan:   

[Captioner] 20:37:52
OKAY.

[Captioner] 20:37:52
>> THAT'S IT.

[Captioner] 20:37:53
>> Councilmember Salwan:   AND 

[Captioner] 20:37:56
THEN THE ONE YEAR PAY OFF THE 

[Captioner] 20:37:58
DOESN'T AND LOWER THE INTEREST 

[Captioner] 20:38:00
RATE, IS THAT WHAT IT IS?

[Captioner] 20:38:03
>> ACTUALLY, PAY OFF THE DEBT 

[Captioner] 20:38:05
AND USE THAT FUNDING IN THAT 

[Captioner] 20:38:07
LAST YEAR FOR EXPANDING OR FOR 

[Captioner] 20:38:09
EXPANDING SERVICES IN THE 

[Captioner] 20:38:10
FREMONT FAMILY RESOURCE CENTER.

[Captioner] 20:38:12
SO WE'RE JUST PAYING IT OFF 

[Captioner] 20:38:13
FASTER SO WE CAN USE THAT MONEY 

[Captioner] 20:38:16
BACK IN THE PROGRAMS.

[Captioner] 20:38:18
>> Councilmember Salwan:   

[Captioner] 20:38:18
GOOD.

[Captioner] 20:38:20
>> Mayor Mei:   THANK YOU.

[Captioner] 20:38:21
NEXT CLARIFYING QUESTIONS, 

[Captioner] 20:38:24
COUNCILMEMBER COX.

[Captioner] 20:38:25
>> Councilmember Cox:   I WOULD 

[Captioner] 20:38:27
LIKE TO COMMEND THE STAFF FOR 

[Captioner] 20:38:28
IDENTIFYING THESE PROJECTS THAT 

[Captioner] 20:38:29
ARE GOING TO MAKE A BIG 

[Captioner] 20:38:30
DIFFERENCE IN THE QUALITY OF 

[Captioner] 20:38:32
LIFE OF PEOPLE THAT NEED IT SO 

[Captioner] 20:38:33
MUCH.

[Captioner] 20:38:37
AND I REALLY -- GREAT TO SEE THE 

[Captioner] 20:38:38
FEDERAL FUNDING COMING IN FROM 

[Captioner] 20:38:40
THE BLOCKS TO HELP US.

[Captioner] 20:38:41
I'M READY TO MAKE A MOTION.

[Captioner] 20:38:43
>> Mayor Mei:   WELL, WE ALSO 

[Captioner] 20:38:44
HAVE A PUBLIC HEARING.

[Captioner] 20:38:45
I HAVE TO OPEN THE PUBLIC 

[Captioner] 20:38:47
HEARING.

[Captioner] 20:38:48
>> Councilmember Cox:   I'LL 

[Captioner] 20:38:49
WAIT UNTIL AFTER.

[Captioner] 20:38:50
>> Mayor Mei:   OKAY.

[Captioner] 20:38:53
SO AT THIS TIME, I DON'T SEE ANY 

[Captioner] 20:38:54
OTHER CLARIFYING QUESTIONS PR 

[Captioner] 20:38:55
OUR COUNCILMEMBERS AND I WOULD 

[Captioner] 20:38:57
LIKE TO OPEN THE PUBLIC 

[Captioner] 20:38:57
HEARING.

[Captioner] 20:38:58
ARE THERE ANY SPEAKERS ON THIS 

[Captioner] 20:38:59
ITEM?

[Captioner] 20:39:00
>> The Clerk:   NO SPEAKERS.

[Captioner] 20:39:01
>> Mayor Mei:   SEEING NONE I'D 

[Captioner] 20:39:04

AND I'LL MAKE -- TAKE ANY 

[Captioner] 20:39:07
COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS FROM THE 

[Captioner] 20:39:08
COUNCILMEMBERS.

[Captioner] 20:39:11
IF THERE'S ANY BEFOREHAND.

[Captioner] 20:39:13
I HAVE SOME, JUST REAL QUICKLY.

[Captioner] 20:39:14
I KNOW THAT ONE OF THE ACTION 

[Captioner] 20:39:16
ITEMS WHEN WE WERE OUT IN D.C. 

[Captioner] 20:39:18
IS THAT WE HAD ASKED 

[Captioner] 20:39:19
SPECIFICALLY TO HAVE MORE 

[Captioner] 20:39:20
ALLOCATION ORE FLOABILITY WITH 

[Captioner] 20:39:21
THE COMMUNITY BLOCK DEVELOPMENT 

[Captioner] 20:39:22
GRANTS.

[Captioner] 20:39:23
BECAUSE I KNOW IN PARTICULAR, 

[Captioner] 20:39:25
ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE'D 

[Captioner] 20:39:26
ASKED IS TO RAISE THE CAP SO 

[Captioner] 20:39:27
THAT YOU WOULD HAVE MORE 

[Captioner] 20:39:29
INCREASED FLEXIBILITY FOR 

[Captioner] 20:39:30
HOUSING SPECIFICALLY.

[Captioner] 20:39:31
BECAUSE RIGHT THOUSAND IT'S 

[Captioner] 20:39:33
CAPPED AT 15% AND HAVING THAT 

[Captioner] 20:39:35
FLEXIBILITY I THINK IS VERY 

[Captioner] 20:39:35
IMPORTANT FOR US.

[Captioner] 20:39:37
AND SO THAT WAS SOMETHING I 

[Captioner] 20:39:40
HEARD FROM THE -- WE HAD 50 

[Captioner] 20:39:43
MAYORS WITH US AND 18 STATES SO 

[Captioner] 20:39:44
I KNOW IT VARIES A LOT FROM 

[Captioner] 20:39:46
STATE TO STATE BUT THIS IS 

[Captioner] 20:39:48
SOMETHING THAT WAS A COMMONALITY 

[Captioner] 20:39:49
IN TERMS OF THE NEED FOR HAVING 

[Captioner] 20:39:51
THE FLEXIBILITY WITH THE 

[Captioner] 20:39:52
COMMUNITY BLOCK GRANT, EACH OF 

[Captioner] 20:39:54
US AS MUNICIPALITIES HAVE THE 

[Captioner] 20:39:56
ABILITY THEN TO BETTER UTILIZE 

[Captioner] 20:39:58
THOSE FUNDS IN THE PURPOSE 

[Captioner] 20:39:59
THAT'S NEEDED.

[Captioner] 20:39:59
SO.

[Captioner] 20:40:09
>> Councilmember Keng:   I'M 

[Captioner] 20:40:10
HAPPY TO SECOND.

[Captioner] 20:40:12

[Captioner] 20:40:13

[Captioner] 20:41:18

[Captioner] 20:41:20
JUST WANTED TO JUST BRIEFLY GO 

[Captioner] 20:41:24
OVER, WE HAD THE

[Captioner] 20:41:24
 FREMONT UNIFIED 

[Captioner] 20:41:26

[Captioner] 20:41:29
FREMONT LIAISON COMMITTEE 

[Captioner] 20:41:31
MEETING ON APRIL THE 23rd.

[Captioner] 20:41:34
AND WE JUST HAD A FEW AGENDA 

[Captioner] 20:41:34
ITEMS.

[Captioner] 20:41:36
WE TALKED A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE 

[Captioner] 20:41:40
INTERNSHIP PROGRAM THAT WE GOT A 

[Captioner] 20:41:41
BRIEFING ON LAST NIGHT.

[Captioner] 20:41:43
SO I WON'T GO OVER THAT ONE.

[Captioner] 20:41:46
BUT WE DID HAVE AN EXTENSIVE 

[Captioner] 20:41:48
CONVERSATION ABOUT COLLABORATIVE 

[Captioner] 20:41:49
STRATEGIES FREMONT UNIFIED 

[Captioner] 20:41:51
SCHOOL DISTRICT, AND THE CITY OF 

[Captioner] 20:41:54
FREMONT, FOR ENHANCED 

[Captioner] 20:41:56
ADVERTISEMENT AND OUTREACH.

[Captioner] 20:41:58
AND SO A FEW THINGS CAME OUT OF 

[Captioner] 20:42:00
THAT.

[Captioner] 20:42:04
ONE WAS, OUR ABILITY TO BE ABLE 

[Captioner] 20:42:06
TO JOINTLY MARKET THE BETH THE 

[Captioner] 20:42:08
CITY AND THE SCHOOL DISTRICT.

[Captioner] 20:42:12
IN A WAY THAT WOULD REALLY

[Captioner] 20:42:12
 

[Captioner] 20:42:14
ATTRACT AND RETAIN PEOPLE TO 

[Captioner] 20:42:17
BOTH THE SCHOOLS AND TO THE 

[Captioner] 20:42:17
CITY.

[Captioner] 20:42:19
AND WE TALKED ABOUT SOME WAYS IN 

[Captioner] 20:42:21
WHICH WE COULD DO THAT.

[Captioner] 20:42:23
ONE OF THE THINGS THAT CAME OUT 

[Captioner] 20:42:26
OF THAT, AND I THINK KIM WAS 

[Captioner] 20:42:27
THERE AND SHE PROBABLY IS GOING 

[Captioner] 20:42:31
TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT IT, WAS 

[Captioner] 20:42:32
THIS CITY NEWS.

[Captioner] 20:42:34
WE ACTUALLY HAVE THE CITY NEWS.

[Captioner] 20:42:37
AND WHAT WE WERE HOPING, WHAT 

[Captioner] 20:42:38
THE SCHOOL DISTRICT WAS HOPING 

[Captioner] 20:42:42
FOR IS THAT THEIR SPOT WOULDN'T 

[Captioner] 20:42:44
BE IN THE CREASE, THAT THEY 

[Captioner] 20:42:45
MIGHT BE ABLE TO GET A BETTER 

[Captioner] 20:42:48
SPOT IN THE FRONT, OR MAYBE DO A 

[Captioner] 20:42:52
LITTLE THING DOWN THE SIDE, TO 

[Captioner] 20:42:54
ENCOURAGE FOLKS TO COME TO 

[Captioner] 20:42:56
FREMONT, AND BE A PART OF THAT.

[Captioner] 20:42:57
AND I KNOW PLACEMENT IS 

[Captioner] 20:42:58
IMPORTANT.

[Captioner] 20:43:01
BUT THAT WAS ONE OF THE THINGS 

[Captioner] 20:43:05
THAT CAME OUT

[Captioner] 20:43:06
 OF THAT TO PROMOTE 

[Captioner] 20:43:09
THE DIFFERENT LANGUAGES.

[Captioner] 20:43:10
I DON'T KNOW, I DON'T KNOW IF 

[Captioner] 20:43:13
THERE'S ANY MONEY FOR THIS.

[Captioner] 20:43:13
COUNCILMEMBER SALWAN, I DON'T 

[Captioner] 20:43:15
KNOW.

[Captioner] 20:43:17
I THINK IT WAS IMPORTANT -- I'M 

[Captioner] 20:43:18
JUST REPORTING.

[Captioner] 20:43:21
>> Mayor Mei:   THERE IS MONEY.

[Captioner] 20:43:22
>> Councilmember Campbell:   I 

[Captioner] 20:43:23
MEAN AND I DON'T KNOW HOW THIS 

[Captioner] 20:43:25
IS CREATED.

[Captioner] 20:43:26
BUT IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE EVERY 

[Captioner] 20:43:27
TIME.

[Captioner] 20:43:30
BUT THEY DID, YOU KNOW, SAY WE 

[Captioner] 20:43:31
JOINTLY MARKET.

[Captioner] 20:43:35
BUT COULD THEY, YOU KNOW, BE ON 

[Captioner] 20:43:36
PAGE 2 AT SOME POINT SO PEOPLE 

[Captioner] 20:43:37
CAN REALLY SEE IT.

[Captioner] 20:43:40
BECAUSE IT DOES GO TO HOUSEHOLDS 

[Captioner] 20:43:42
THAT HAVE KIDS AND HOUSEHOLDS 

[Captioner] 20:43:45
THAT DON'T HAVE KIDS.

[Captioner] 20:43:47
AND ALSO, ONE OF THE OTHER 

[Captioner] 20:43:49
THINGS THAT CAME OUT OF THAT 

[Captioner] 20:43:52
WAS, TO PROMOTE THE DIFFERENT 

[Captioner] 20:43:54
LANGUAGES THAT WE HAVE.

[Captioner] 20:43:57
THROUGHOUT OUR CITY.

[Captioner] 20:44:01
OUR CITY HOUSING PROJECTS, ADULT 

[Captioner] 20:44:05
SCHOOL, OHLONE, YOU NOE SO TO 

[Captioner] 20:44:08
KIND OF PROMOTE THE -- YOU KNOW 

[Captioner] 20:44:11
SO TO KIND OF PROMOTE THE REAL 

[Captioner] 20:44:13
ASSETS THAT FREMONT HAS TO OFFER 

[Captioner] 20:44:14
NOT JUST FROM A SCHOOL 

[Captioner] 20:44:16
PERSPECTIVE BUT FROM A CITY 

[Captioner] 20:44:16
PERSPECTIVE AS WELL.

[Captioner] 20:44:19
SO THAT WAS -- THAT WAS THE -- 

[Captioner] 20:44:21
PRETTY MUCH THE MEAT OF THE 

[Captioner] 20:44:21
CONVERSATION.

[Captioner] 20:44:23
WE SPENT A LOT OF TIME TALKING 

[Captioner] 20:44:25
ABOUT THIS ENHANCED 

[Captioner] 20:44:26
ADVERTISEMENT.

[Captioner] 20:44:28
AND THEY EVEN TALKED ABOUT A 

[Captioner] 20:44:30
BILLBOARD ON 880 BUT I KNOW THAT 

[Captioner] 20:44:31
IS PROBABLY GOING TO BE OUT OF 

[Captioner] 20:44:33
OUR FINANCIAL REACH.

[Captioner] 20:44:34
BUT THERE ARE SOME CITIES THAT 

[Captioner] 20:44:37
DO HAVE THESE LIKE BILLBOARDS ON 

[Captioner] 20:44:39
880, COME TO FREMONT, FREMONT IS 

[Captioner] 20:44:40
THE BEST PLACE TO LIVE.

[Captioner] 20:44:44
THE HAPPIEST CITY IN THE LAND.

[Captioner] 20:44:47
THOSE KINDS OF THINGS, TO HELP 

[Captioner] 20:44:49
PROMOTE FREMONT.

[Captioner] 20:44:50
>> Mayor Mei:   NO, I APPRECIATE 

[Captioner] 20:44:50
THAT.

[Captioner] 20:44:52
I KNOW THAT YOU ALSO CALLED OUT 

[Captioner] 20:44:54
AND ASKED A QUESTION WHEN WE DID 

[Captioner] 20:44:55
OUR INTERNSHIP THERE YOU ASKED 

[Captioner] 20:44:57
ABOUT OUR LOGO.

[Captioner] 20:45:03
WHICH SHOULD BE

[Captioner] 20:45:06
 RECIPROCATED.

[Captioner] 20:45:07
PEACH JAR OR WHATEVER IT WAS, 

[Captioner] 20:45:09
I'M SURE IT WOULD BE 

[Captioner] 20:45:13
 

[Captioner] 20:45:14
 

[Captioner] 20:45:16
RECIPROCATED OPTION.

[Captioner] 20:45:18
CRAD DEFINITELY AGREE WITH 

[Captioner] 20:45:18
THAT.

[Captioner] 20:45:19
THAT IS MY REPORT.

[Captioner] 20:45:21
>> Mayor Mei:   THANK YOU.

[Captioner] 20:45:22
 COUNCILMEMBER SALWAN.

[Captioner] 20:45:23
>> Councilmember Salwan:   THANK 

[Captioner] 20:45:24
YOU MADAM MAYOR.

[Captioner] 20:45:26
I WAS AT THE EAST BAY DIVISION 

[Captioner] 20:45:29
MEETING ON APRIL 25th AND WE 

[Captioner] 20:45:32
HAD ATTORNEY GENERAL ROB BANTA 

[Captioner] 20:45:32
PROPONENT.

[Captioner] 20:45:34
SO PRIMARILY HE WAS FOCUSED ON 

[Captioner] 20:45:36
PUBLIC SAFETY, ESPECIALLY AS IT 

[Captioner] 20:45:38
RELATED TO RETAIL THEFT.

[Captioner] 20:45:40
AND SOME OF THE LAWLESSNESS THAT 

[Captioner] 20:45:41
HAS BEEN GOING ON.

[Captioner] 20:45:44
AND SO THE ATTORNEY GENERAL'S 

[Captioner] 20:45:47
OFFICE IS TRYING TO PARTNER WITH 

[Captioner] 20:45:49
AGENCIES WHERE THEY'RE HAVING A 

[Captioner] 20:45:51
HARD TIME MAINTAINING PUBLIC 

[Captioner] 20:45:51
SAFETY.

[Captioner] 20:45:54
AND ALSO LOOKING AT, YOU KNOW, 

[Captioner] 20:45:56
REPEAT OFFENDERS AND, YOU KNOW, 

[Captioner] 20:45:58
SOME OF THE ISSUES THAT WE'RE 

[Captioner] 20:46:00
HAVING AROUND CRIME AND SAFETY 

[Captioner] 20:46:02
IN THE ENTIRE STATE.

[Captioner] 20:46:04
THE OTHER POINT IS THAT HE'S 

[Captioner] 20:46:07
TAKING MUCH MORE ACTIVE ROLE AS 

[Captioner] 20:46:08
FAR AS HOUSING.

[Captioner] 20:46:09
HE WANTS TO MAKE SURE THAT 

[Captioner] 20:46:12
CITIES ARE NOT OBSTRUCTING 

[Captioner] 20:46:13
HOUSING.

[Captioner] 20:46:14
ESPECIALLY AS IT COMES TO ALL 

[Captioner] 20:46:15
KINDS OF HOUSING.

[Captioner] 20:46:18
SO HE SUPPORTS EVERY SINGLE 

[Captioner] 20:46:18
KIND.

[Captioner] 20:46:21
AND SO HE'S ACTIVELY LOOKING AT 

[Captioner] 20:46:24
CITIES THAT ARE BEING AN 

[Captioner] 20:46:25
IMPEDIMENT OR MAKING IT 

[Captioner] 20:46:27
DIFFICULT TO BUILD HOUSING.

[Captioner] 20:46:29
SO YES, SO IT WAS A GOOD MEETING 

[Captioner] 20:46:31
AND WE HAD A GOOD ATTENDANCE.

[Captioner] 20:46:32
>> Mayor Mei:   PERHAPS WE 

[Captioner] 20:46:34
SHOULD INCLUDE SOME OF THE STALE 

[Captioner] 20:46:36
MATES THAT WE JUST HAD TWO 

[Captioner] 20:46:38
APPEALS SO PERHAPS WE SHOULD 

[Captioner] 20:46:40
ALSO LOOK AT THOSE.

[Captioner] 20:46:41
>> Councilmember Salwan:   WE 

[Captioner] 20:46:42
COULD REFORM --

[Captioner] 20:46:44
>> Mayor Mei:   SECRET REFORM, 

[Captioner] 20:46:46
NOT JUST FOR THE COUNCIL, BUT IT 

[Captioner] 20:46:48
ALSO MEANS ANY APPEALS OR 

[Captioner] 20:46:49
ANYTHING THAT PUTS THEM OWN HOLD 

[Captioner] 20:46:51
FOR MONTHS OR YEARS.

[Captioner] 20:46:51
>> Councilmember Salwan:   

[Captioner] 20:46:52
ABSOLUTELY.

[Captioner] 20:46:53
I THINK RECALL THE GOVERNORS 

[Captioner] 20:46:54
HAVE BEEN FIGHTING FOR THAT FOR 

[Captioner] 20:46:56
A WHILE.

[Captioner] 20:46:57
>> Mayor Mei:   HOPEFULLY NOT 

[Captioner] 20:46:59
JUST BEATING US WITH ALTHOUGH IT 

[Captioner] 20:47:02
SHOULD BE A CARROT, A STICK.

[Captioner] 20:47:02
>> Councilmember Salwan:   I 

[Captioner] 20:47:03
AGREE.

[Captioner] 20:47:05
HE SAID IF YOU ARE A PRO-HOUSING 

[Captioner] 20:47:06
CITY YOU WON'T HAVE ANY 

[Captioner] 20:47:08
COMPLAINTS AND THEY WILL ALWAYS 

[Captioner] 20:47:10
MEET AND CONFER AS LONG AS YOU 

[Captioner] 20:47:11
ARE TRYING TO MEET THE INTENT OF 

[Captioner] 20:47:13
YOUR HOUSING GOALS.

[Captioner] 20:47:14
>> Mayor Mei:   THEY SHOULD HELP 

[Captioner] 20:47:17
US, THE PROHOUSING DECISION IS 

[Captioner] 20:47:19
TOUGH FOR US TO GET, WE HAVE TO 

[Captioner] 20:47:22
APPLY WITH IT, IT'S A PROCESS.

[Captioner] 20:47:23
IT'S OKAY I FOLLOW ALL THAT.

[Captioner] 20:47:24
SO THANK YOU.

[Captioner] 20:47:26
I'LL REALLY QUICKLY JUST GIVE 

[Captioner] 20:47:28
OUT THAT AS I MENTIONED EARLIER 

[Captioner] 20:47:30
THIS EVENING I WAS OUT WITH THE 

[Captioner] 20:47:32
CONFERENCE OF MAYORS OWN 

[Captioner] 20:47:34
HOMELESSNESS TASK FORCE AND WE 

[Captioner] 20:47:36
WANTED TO MAKE SURE IT WAS LED 

[Captioner] 20:47:38
BY MAYOR BASS TO TALK ABOUT 

[Captioner] 20:47:40
INCREASING FUNDING FOR A COUPLE 

[Captioner] 20:47:42

[Captioner] 20:47:44
HOMELESS POPULATION RENTS AS

WELL AS THE EXPANDED VETERAN 

[Captioner] 20:47:48

[Captioner] 20:47:50

[Captioner] 20:47:53
INCREASE THE NUMBER OF HOUSING 

[Captioner] 20:47:53

[Captioner] 20:47:57
OUR CHAIR OF WAYS AND MEANS AS

[Captioner] 20:48:01
 

[Captioner] 20:48:03
VETERANS AND IN PARTICULAR ALSO 

[Captioner] 20:48:05
SECRETARY BECERRA.

[Captioner] 20:48:09
BECAUSE THE OTHER PIECE THAT IS 

[Captioner] 20:48:10
REALLY CONCERNING, HOUSING IS 

[Captioner] 20:48:12
ONE OF THE THINGS WE NEED TO 

[Captioner] 20:48:14
BUILD BUT HAVING WRAP AROUND 

[Captioner] 20:48:16
SERVICES, MENTAL HEALTH IS THE 

[Captioner] 20:48:17
OTHER PIECE THAT IS CRITICAL.
