OUTSIDE OF THE -- AND THEY'VE 

[Captioner] 19:21:14
GOT FIRES GOING, THEY'VE KIND OF 

[Captioner] 19:21:17
DESTROYED OUR FOUNTAIN ON OUR 

[Captioner] 19:21:19
CHURCH, AND WE THANK YOU FOR 

[Captioner] 19:21:22
SENDING THE COMMUNITY SERVICES 

[Captioner] 19:21:22
PEOPLE OUT.

[Captioner] 19:21:24
THEY'VE BEEN OUT SEVERAL TIMES, 

[Captioner] 19:21:26
HOWEVER, AND WE HAVE YET TO COME 

[Captioner] 19:21:28
TO A GOOD AND FINAL SOLUTION.

[Captioner] 19:21:30
BUT WE DID FIND OUT THAT WE NEED 

[Captioner] 19:21:34
TO PUT UP SIGNS TO ADHERE TO

[Captioner] 19:21:36
 THAT 72-HOUR PERIOD FOR THOSE 

[Captioner] 19:21:37
TRUCKS AND TRAILERS TO BE 

[Captioner] 19:21:37
MOVED.

[Captioner] 19:21:41
WE THINK JUST BY BEING AT THIS 

[Captioner] 19:21:42
COUNCIL THAT I LEARNED THAT, AND 

[Captioner] 19:21:47
WE ALSO KNOW THAT WE

[Captioner] 19:21:50
 CAN FINE PEOPLE FORTRESS 

[Captioner] 19:21:54
 FOR

[Captioner] 19:21:55
 TRESPASSING ON THE PROPERTY.

[Captioner] 19:21:58
WE HATE TO HAVE THEM ARRESTED 

[Captioner] 19:22:00
BUT WE WANT IT SAFE FOR THE 

[Captioner] 19:22:01
COMMUNITY AS WELL AS OUR 

[Captioner] 19:22:01
PARISHIONERS.

[Captioner] 19:22:03
OUR PASTOR IS PASTOR PAUL 

[Captioner] 19:22:03
SHEPHERD.

[Captioner] 19:22:05
HE'S CALLED THE CITY SEVERAL 

[Captioner] 19:22:06
TIMES REGARDING THIS SITUATION, 

[Captioner] 19:22:09
SO WE WANT TO KNOW WHAT ELSE WE 

[Captioner] 19:22:12
CAN DO TO HELP OURSELVES AND 

[Captioner] 19:22:14
HELP YOU TO HELP US AND HELP 

[Captioner] 19:22:14
THAT COMMUNITY.

[Captioner] 19:22:15
THANK YOU.

[Captioner] 19:22:18
>> Mayor Mei: THANK YOU.

[Captioner] 19:22:20
I WAS JUST GOING TO INVITE YOU 

[Captioner] 19:22:20
TO PLEASE STAY.

[Captioner] 19:22:23
WE HAVE ANOTHER AGENDA ON THIS 

[Captioner] 19:22:24
LATER THIS EVENING TALKING 

[Captioner] 19:22:25
SPECIFICALLY ABOUT THIS ITEM.

[Captioner] 19:22:28
BUT THANK YOU FOR COMING, 

[Captioner] 19:22:28
REVEREND.

[Captioner] 19:22:29
WELCOME.

[Captioner] 19:22:30
>> HI.

[Captioner] 19:22:35
I'M LANA SPENCER TEASLEY AND 

[Captioner] 19:22:35
ROSIE SPOKE WELL ON THAT.

[Captioner] 19:22:38
SHE ACTUALLY MET ME -- SHE'S A 

[Captioner] 19:22:41
PARATRANSIT DRIVER FOR UNION 

[Captioner] 19:22:42
CITY AND FREMONT.

[Captioner] 19:22:42
SHE'S EXCELLENT.

[Captioner] 19:22:44
SHE TAKES HER MINISTRY 

[Captioner] 19:22:44
EVERYWHERE.

[Captioner] 19:22:47
I HAVE WORKED BUILDING 

[Captioner] 19:22:49
AFFORDABLE HOUSING FOR THE LAST 

[Captioner] 19:22:49
45 YEARS.

[Captioner] 19:22:52
I'VE WORKED AS A HOMELESS 

[Captioner] 19:22:54
ADVOCATE WHEN I SPENT TIME WITH 

[Captioner] 19:22:55
NANCY PELOSI, I MADE HER CRY, 

[Captioner] 19:22:58
SHE SAID, I WAS -- I WENT FROM 

[Captioner] 19:22:59
HOMELESS TO BUILDING HOMES.

[Captioner] 19:23:04
I BUILT EIGHT BUILDINGS IN THE 

[Captioner] 19:23:07
OAKLAND BAY AREA, AND TWO MOD 

[Captioner] 19:23:08
REHABS IN THE TENDERLOIN AREA.

[Captioner] 19:23:11
I WAS A SURVIVOR OF DOMESTIC 

[Captioner] 19:23:11
VIOLENCE.

[Captioner] 19:23:13
MY HUSBAND SHOT ME IN THE HEAD.

[Captioner] 19:23:15
I WAS BRAIN DEAD ON LIFE SUPPORT 

[Captioner] 19:23:16
FOR OVER A WEEK.

[Captioner] 19:23:22
SO I AM A HOMELESS ADVOCATE.

[Captioner] 19:23:24
SO IT HURTS ME TO SAY IT, BUT 

[Captioner] 19:23:27
ROSIE IS RIGHT, WE WENT TO 

[Captioner] 19:23:28
CHURCH LAST SUNDAY, DISCOVERED 

[Captioner] 19:23:32
THEY HAD A BONFIRE, TRASH 

[Captioner] 19:23:34
EVERYWHERE, AND WE HAVE SPENT A 

[Captioner] 19:23:36
LOT OF MONEY UPGRADING OUR 

[Captioner] 19:23:36
AREA.

[Captioner] 19:23:37
WE PUT TONS IN IT.

[Captioner] 19:23:38
WE'RE A GOOD NEIGHBOR.

[Captioner] 19:23:39
WE'RE PART OF A COMMUNITY.

[Captioner] 19:23:41
WE HAVE SERVICES FOR MORE THAN 

[Captioner] 19:23:42
OUR MEMBERS OUT THERE.

[Captioner] 19:23:47
THERE ARE OVER FOUR

[Captioner] 19:23:51
 OTHER SEMI HUGE WORSHIP

[Captioner] 19:23:52
 AREAS.

[Captioner] 19:23:53
IT WAS REALLY PAINFUL FOR OUR 

[Captioner] 19:23:55
KIDS, OUR SENIOR CITIZENS TO 

[Captioner] 19:23:56
COME TO WORSHIP AND THERE'S BEEN 

[Captioner] 19:23:59
A BONFIRE AND HAZARDOUS 

[Captioner] 19:24:01
MATERIALS, AND EVERYTHING KEEPS 

[Captioner] 19:24:01
GOING BACK AND FORTH.

[Captioner] 19:24:04
SO WHAT I WOULD LIKE IS TO GET 

[Captioner] 19:24:06
SOME CLEAR DIRECTION, HAVE ONE 

[Captioner] 19:24:09
PERSON WORK WITH ME TO HELP 

[Captioner] 19:24:11
RESOLVE THIS ISSUE SO I CAN 

[Captioner] 19:24:11
BRING TO A CLOSE.

[Captioner] 19:24:15
I READ THE CODES, I'VE ACTUALLY 

[Captioner] 19:24:19
HAD CONVERSATIONS WITH SERGEANT 

[Captioner] 19:24:21
SINGH, SOMEONE FROM THE MOBILE 

[Captioner] 19:24:24
UNIT, BUT WE REALLY WANT THOSE 

[Captioner] 19:24:27
TRAILERS MOVED AND THE OTHER BAD 

[Captioner] 19:24:28
ACTORS, FIGURE OUT WHO THEY ARE 

[Captioner] 19:24:30
AND GET THEM MOVED BECAUSE WE 

[Captioner] 19:24:31
REALLY WANT TO BE A GOOD 

[Captioner] 19:24:31
NEIGHBOR.

[Captioner] 19:24:35
SOME PEOPLE ARE NOT

[Captioner] 19:24:37
 READY --

[Captioner] 19:24:38
>> Mayor Mei: THANK YOU FOR 

[Captioner] 19:24:38
SHARING.

[Captioner] 19:24:40
>> Ms. Gauthier: AFTER SAI IS 

[Captioner] 19:24:43
ALEX WOO, THEN BEN YEE.

[Captioner] 19:24:45
>> Mayor Mei: WELCOME.

[Captioner] 19:24:45
>> GOOD EVENING.

[Captioner] 19:24:47
I STAND BEFORE YOU TONIGHT IN MY 

[Captioner] 19:24:48
PERSONAL CAPACITY.

[Captioner] 19:24:49
THANK YOU FOR ALLOWING ME THIS 

[Captioner] 19:24:50
TIME.

[Captioner] 19:24:53
I STAND BEFORE YOU TO REMIND US 

[Captioner] 19:24:55
OF THE CRITICAL IMPORTANCE OF 

[Captioner] 19:24:56
INTEGRITY, TRANSPARENCY AND 

[Captioner] 19:24:57
RESPONSIVENESS IN PUBLIC 

[Captioner] 19:24:57
SERVICE.

[Captioner] 19:24:59
THESE VALUES ARE NOT NEW 

[Captioner] 19:25:01
CONCEPTS OR ASPIRATIONAL IDEAS 

[Captioner] 19:25:03
BUT THE VERY FOUNDATION OF TRUST 

[Captioner] 19:25:04
BETWEEN US CITIZENS AND THOSE 

[Captioner] 19:25:06
THAT ARE IN PUBLIC SERVICE THAT 

[Captioner] 19:25:08
HAVE CHOSEN, THAT HAVE CHOSEN TO 

[Captioner] 19:25:09
SERVE WE THE PEOPLE.

[Captioner] 19:25:12
IN A DEMOCRACY, THE PURSUANT OF 

[Captioner] 19:25:13
PRINCIPLES, THE PURSUIT OF 

[Captioner] 19:25:16
VALUES AND DEBATE IS NOT SOME 

[Captioner] 19:25:17
ARCHAIC CONCEPT BUT SOMETHING 

[Captioner] 19:25:18
THAT'S FOUNDATIONAL TO BEING A 

[Captioner] 19:25:19
HEALTHY NATION.

[Captioner] 19:25:20
AND PUBLIC SERVICE IS REALLY 

[Captioner] 19:25:22
ABOUT PUTTING PUBLIC AND SERVICE 

[Captioner] 19:25:23
AT THE CENTER OF ALL DISCUSSIONS 

[Captioner] 19:25:25
AS I MENTIONED AT THE FREMONT 

[Captioner] 19:25:26
UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT A COUPLE 

[Captioner] 19:25:27
OF NIGHTS AGO.

[Captioner] 19:25:29
WITH THAT SAID, A COUPLE OF 

[Captioner] 19:25:30
NIGHTS AGO I WAS AT THE FREMONT 

[Captioner] 19:25:32
STREET EATS AND I WAS THERE TO 

[Captioner] 19:25:32
ENJOY A BEAUTIFUL EVENING BUT IT 

[Captioner] 19:25:35
WAS SAD THAT MY AND OTHERS' 

[Captioner] 19:25:37
FIRST AMENDMENT RIGHTS WERE 

[Captioner] 19:25:40
VIOLATED SO OPENLY AND 

[Captioner] 19:25:41
FLAGRANTLY BY PEOPLE THAT 

[Captioner] 19:25:42
BELIEVE I SHOULDN'T BE THERE 

[Captioner] 19:25:43
BECAUSE I WAS SIMPLY SUPPORTING 

[Captioner] 19:25:44
ANOTHER CANDIDATE.

[Captioner] 19:25:46
IN THE SPIRIT OF UNITED AGAINST 

[Captioner] 19:25:48
HATE WEEK, I MUST ALSO STATE IT 

[Captioner] 19:25:49
WAS DISTRESSING TO BE ATTACKED 

[Captioner] 19:25:50
FOR PEACEFUL SELF-EXPRESSION 

[Captioner] 19:25:52
WHERE I WAS USING MY HANDS TO 

[Captioner] 19:25:54
SPEAK IN A MANNERISM THAT I 

[Captioner] 19:25:56
PICKED UP AS AN INDIAN AMERICAN 

[Captioner] 19:25:57
THAT GREW UP IN THE MIDDLE EAST 

[Captioner] 19:25:59
WHERE IN THE ARAB CULTURE 

[Captioner] 19:26:01
SIMILAR TO THE ITALIAN CULTURE, 

[Captioner] 19:26:03
WE SPEAK WITH OUR HANDS.

[Captioner] 19:26:05
SO LET'S RESPECT THE SPIRIT AND 

[Captioner] 19:26:06
SENSE OF INTEGRITY THAT 

[Captioner] 19:26:08
HOPEFULLY IS GROUNDED IN HUMAN 

[Captioner] 19:26:09
VALUES OF DIGNITY AND DECENCY.

[Captioner] 19:26:11
WHEN WE ALLOW POLITICAL 

[Captioner] 19:26:14
IDEOLOGIES AND PARTISAN -- TO 

[Captioner] 19:26:15
OVERSHADOW FUNDAMENTAL RIGHTS 

[Captioner] 19:26:17
AND FUNDAMENTAL DECENCY, WE FAIL 

[Captioner] 19:26:19
TO HONOR THE COMMITMENT NOT JUST 

[Captioner] 19:26:20
TO OUR NATION BUT TO OURSELVES, 

[Captioner] 19:26:22
TO OUR LORDS AND TO THE FAMILIES 

[Captioner] 19:26:23
THAT WE THINK WE WANT TO SERVE.

[Captioner] 19:26:25
SO LET'S ASK OURSELVES HONESTLY, 

[Captioner] 19:26:28
ARE WE ACTING BOTH IN SPIRIT AND 

[Captioner] 19:26:30
SUBSTANCE WITH INTEGRITY OR 

[Captioner] 19:26:35
SIMPLY PUTTING UP A SH RAID 

[Captioner] 19:26:36
WHERE THE TRUTH IS REALLY QUITE 

[Captioner] 19:26:36
BITTER.

[Captioner] 19:26:38
WE'RE A COMMUNITY THAT'S SMALL 

[Captioner] 19:26:40
ENOUGH TO FEEL LIKE A FAMILY BUT 

[Captioner] 19:26:41
NOT LARGE ENOUGH TO HAVE SOLD 

[Captioner] 19:26:43
OUR SOUL OR TO HAVE LOST OUR 

[Captioner] 19:26:44
SPIRIT OF BEING TOGETHER.

[Captioner] 19:26:44
THANK YOU.

[Captioner] 19:26:45
GOD BLESS YOU.

[Captioner] 19:26:52
>> Ms. Gauthier: MR. WU?

[Captioner] 19:26:54
>> GOOD EVENING, MAYOR, 

[Captioner] 19:26:55
COUNCILMEMBERS AND EVERYBODY.

[Captioner] 19:26:58
THIS IS ALEX WU, I'VE BEEN A 

[Captioner] 19:27:01
SMALL BUSINESS OWNER IN FREMONT 

[Captioner] 19:27:02
FOR 35 YEARS.

[Captioner] 19:27:04
PEOPLE ASK ME HOW COME I CAN 

[Captioner] 19:27:06
SUSTAIN THAT LONG.

[Captioner] 19:27:09
ACTUALLY IT'S ONLY ONE WORD, 

[Captioner] 19:27:09
TRUST.

[Captioner] 19:27:13
YOU'VE GOT TO HAVE TRUST AND 

[Captioner] 19:27:13
INTEGRITY.

[Captioner] 19:27:18
AND TRUST IS ALWAYS BUILT

[Captioner] 19:27:21
 ON CONSISTENCY, INTEGRITY AND 

[Captioner] 19:27:25
 DEPENDABILITY OF WHAT YOU HAVE 

[Captioner] 19:27:25
SAID AND WHAT YOU HAVE DONE.

[Captioner] 19:27:32
INCONSISTENCY WILL ALWAYS CAUSE 

[Captioner] 19:27:33
MISUNDERSTANDING AND LOSS OF 

[Captioner] 19:27:34
CONFIDENCE IN A PERSON.

[Captioner] 19:27:35
UNFORTUNATELY I WANT TO POINT 

[Captioner] 19:27:39
OUT I SAW SOME INCONSISTENCY 

[Captioner] 19:27:44
WITH ONE OF OUR COUNCILMEMBERS,

[Captioner] 19:27:44
 COUNCILMEMBER COX.

[Captioner] 19:27:50
ACTUALLY IN THE LINCOLN, SHE HAD 

[Captioner] 19:27:54
AS A VICE MAYOR FOR THREE-PLUS 

[Captioner] 19:27:56
YEARS, AND WE ALL KNOW THAT VICE 

[Captioner] 19:28:00
MAYOR OF CITY OF FREMONT

[Captioner] 19:28:01
 IS ROTATION EVERY EAT MONTHS.

[Captioner] 19:28:05
 EIGHT MONTHS.

[Captioner] 19:28:08
AND IN THE CITY WEBSITE, SHE 

[Captioner] 19:28:10
ALSO HAD BEING AN OHLONE BOARD 

[Captioner] 19:28:14
OF TRUSTEE FOR 12 YEARS

[Captioner] 19:28:16
 AND -- AS CHAIR.

[Captioner] 19:28:20
WE ALL KNOW OHLONE COLLEGE IS BY 

[Captioner] 19:28:21
ROTATION AS WELL EVERY YEAR AS 

[Captioner] 19:28:22
THE VICE CHAIR.

[Captioner] 19:28:27
IT MAY BE A MISTAKE, BUT IN ANY

[Captioner] 19:28:30
 CASE, SOMETHING LIKE THIS IS 

[Captioner] 19:28:32
CREATING SOME WRONG IMPRESSION, 

[Captioner] 19:28:36
SO I THINK THE PUBLIC SHOULD BE 

[Captioner] 19:28:38
AWARE, THIS IS INCONSISTENCY.

[Captioner] 19:28:38
THANK YOU.

[Captioner] 19:28:44
>> Ms. Gauthier: THE NEXT 

[Captioner] 19:28:48
SPEAKER IS BEN YEE, FOLLOWED BY 

[Captioner] 19:28:48
RIO COLETTE.

[Captioner] 19:28:50
>> GOOD EVENING, MAYOR, CITY 

[Captioner] 19:28:51
COUNCIL AND CITY STAFF.

[Captioner] 19:28:52
I'M BEN YEE.

[Captioner] 19:28:55
I THINK YOU ALL KNOW WHO I AM 

[Captioner] 19:28:58
BUT I'M COMING HERE AS A PRIVATE 

[Captioner] 19:28:59
CITIZEN RATHER THAN BEING A 

[Captioner] 19:29:00
PLANNING COMMISSIONER AND THE 

[Captioner] 19:29:01
STATE PRESIDENT FOR ALL THE 

[Captioner] 19:29:02
PLANNING COMMISSIONERS.

[Captioner] 19:29:05
BUT WHAT ALEX HAD JUST MENTIONED 

[Captioner] 19:29:06
IS ABOUT INTEGRITY.

[Captioner] 19:29:09
IT IS NOT ABOUT RACE, RELIGION, 

[Captioner] 19:29:11
COLOR, YOU KNOW, SEXUAL 

[Captioner] 19:29:11
ORIENTATION OR ANYTHING LIKE 

[Captioner] 19:29:12
THAT.

[Captioner] 19:29:13
IT'S ALL ABOUT INTEGRITY.

[Captioner] 19:29:16
JUST LIKE WHAT YOU TALKED ABOUT 

[Captioner] 19:29:20
LAST WEEK, WHEN YOU WERE 

[Captioner] 19:29:21
INTERVIEWING COUNCILMEMBER 

[Captioner] 19:29:22
KIMBERLIN, NOW I CAN ACTUALLY 

[Captioner] 19:29:22
SAY THAT.

[Captioner] 19:29:24
THERE'S INCONSISTENCY.

[Captioner] 19:29:26
WHEN I'M LOOKING AT THE CURRENT 

[Captioner] 19:29:28
CITY WEBSITE, IT TALKS ABOUT 

[Captioner] 19:29:32
COUNCILMEMBER COX BEING ONE OF 

[Captioner] 19:29:33
THE FIRST AFRICAN AMERICANS TO 

[Captioner] 19:29:34
OBTAIN A DEGREE IN NUCLEAR 

[Captioner] 19:29:38
ENGINEERING, SO I HAVE SEVERAL 

[Captioner] 19:29:40
COPIES OF THE NUCLEAR 

[Captioner] 19:29:41
ENGINEERING ENROLLMENT AND 

[Captioner] 19:29:42
DEGREES HANDBOOK FROM THE 

[Captioner] 19:29:44
DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY, AND THERE 

[Captioner] 19:29:45
COULD HAVE BEEN AN OVERSIGHT AS 

[Captioner] 19:29:47
WELL BECAUSE I COULD SEE RIGHT 

[Captioner] 19:29:48
NOW IN THE UNIVERSITY OF 

[Captioner] 19:29:49
MICHIGAN, THERE WAS WHAT THEY 

[Captioner] 19:29:51
CALL A BLACK FEMALE THAT 

[Captioner] 19:29:53
GRADUATED IN JULY OF 1980 WITH A 

[Captioner] 19:29:55
BACHELOR'S DEGREE IN NUCLEAR 

[Captioner] 19:29:57
ENGINEERING, SO I JUST WANTED TO 

[Captioner] 19:29:58
BRING THAT OUT SO THAT WE MAKE 

[Captioner] 19:30:01
SURE THAT OUR WEBSITE IS 

[Captioner] 19:30:01
CORRECT, AND COUNCILMEMBER COX, 

[Captioner] 19:30:03
YOU MAY HAVE NOT REALIZED THAT 

[Captioner] 19:30:05
SO YOU MAY WANT TO CORRECT YOUR 

[Captioner] 19:30:07
SOCIAL MEDIA SITE AND ANY OTHER 

[Captioner] 19:30:09
MEDIA OUTLET AND AT THE SAME 

[Captioner] 19:30:10
TIME, FOR THOSE THAT ARE DOING 

[Captioner] 19:30:11
THE ENDORSEMENTS AND ALL THAT, 

[Captioner] 19:30:13
YOU MAY WANT TO REVISIT IT BASED 

[Captioner] 19:30:14
ON THIS PARTICULAR STATEMENT.

[Captioner] 19:30:19
BUT THERE'S ALSO FROM ALMOST 40

[Captioner] 19:30:21
 YEARS AGO WAS A COMMENT FROM 

[Captioner] 19:30:22
"THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE" SAYING 

[Captioner] 19:30:25
THAT THERE WAS ALSO A PERSON, A 

[Captioner] 19:30:29
BLACK WOMAN FROM SPRING OF 1979 

[Captioner] 19:30:30
FROM GEORGIA TECH THAT GRADUATED 

[Captioner] 19:30:31
WITH A BACHELOR'S DEGREE IN 

[Captioner] 19:30:34
NUCLEAR ENGINEERING, IT'S ALSO 

[Captioner] 19:30:35
IN THIS HANDBOOK AS WELL SO I 

[Captioner] 19:30:36
JUST WANTED TO BRING THAT TO 

[Captioner] 19:30:36
YOUR ATTENTION.

[Captioner] 19:30:40
I'M GOING TO SUBMIT THIS TO THE 

[Captioner] 19:30:41
CITY CLERK SO YOU CAN HAVE THAT 

[Captioner] 19:30:42
FOR PUBLIC RECORDS AND THE CITY 

[Captioner] 19:30:44
STAFF CAN TAKE A LOOK AT THAT AS WELL.

[Captioner] 19:30:44
THANK YOU.

[Captioner] 19:30:51
>> Ms. Gauthier: AFTER RIO 

[Captioner] 19:30:53
COLETTE IS HIU NG, FOLLOWED BY 

[Captioner] 19:30:53
KELLY ABREU.

[Captioner] 19:31:00
>> GOOD EVENING, COUNCILMEMBERS 

[Captioner] 19:31:01
AND MAYOR.

[Captioner] 19:31:03
MY NAME IS RIO, I'M 20 YEARS 

[Captioner] 19:31:04
OLD, I'VE LIVED IN FREMONT MY 

[Captioner] 19:31:05
ENTIRE LIFE.

[Captioner] 19:31:07
I'M CURRENTLY A STUDENT AT 

[Captioner] 19:31:09
OHLONE COLLEGE, AND I'M HERE 

[Captioner] 19:31:11
TODAY TO EXPRESS MY CONCERNS 

[Captioner] 19:31:13
ABOUT COUNCILMEMBER COX'S LACK 

[Captioner] 19:31:14
OF COMMUNICATION WITH HER 

[Captioner] 19:31:14
CONSTITUENTS.

[Captioner] 19:31:17
OVER HER TIME IN OFFICE, MANY 

[Captioner] 19:31:18
PEOPLE HAVE TRIED TO REACH OUT 

[Captioner] 19:31:21
TO HER VIA EMAIL BUT EACH TIME 

[Captioner] 19:31:22
WE'RE ALL MET WITH SILENCE.

[Captioner] 19:31:24
THIS ISN'T AN ISOLATED 

[Captioner] 19:31:24
EXPERIENCE.

[Captioner] 19:31:25
MANY OTHERS IN OUR COMMUNITY 

[Captioner] 19:31:27
HAVE FACED THE SAME ISSUE AND 

[Captioner] 19:31:28
IT'S DEEPLY TROUBLING.

[Captioner] 19:31:30
EVEN MORE CONCERNING, IT HER 

[Captioner] 19:31:31
FAILURE TO FOLLOW THROUGH WHEN 

[Captioner] 19:31:32
SHE DOES SCHEDULE MEETINGS.

[Captioner] 19:31:34
ON THE FEW OCCASIONS WHEN SHE 

[Captioner] 19:31:35
ARRANGED MEETINGS WITH OTHERS IN 

[Captioner] 19:31:37
THE COMMUNITY, SHE CANCELED AT 

[Captioner] 19:31:38
THE VERY LAST MINUTE, SOMETIMES 

[Captioner] 19:31:40
WITH AS LITTLE AS FIVE MINUTE 

[Captioner] 19:31:40
NOTICE.

[Captioner] 19:31:42
THIS SHOWS A CLEAR DISREGARD FOR 

[Captioner] 19:31:43
CONSTITUENTS' TIME AND 

[Captioner] 19:31:44
CONCERNS.

[Captioner] 19:31:46
ADDITIONALLY AS AN OHLONE 

[Captioner] 19:31:47
COLLEGE STUDENT MYSELF I'M ALSO 

[Captioner] 19:31:48
SADDENED TO HEAR COUNCILMEMBER 

[Captioner] 19:31:50
COX'S CLAIM TO HAVE SERVED AS 

[Captioner] 19:31:52
VICE CHAIR OF THE COLLEGE FOR 12 

[Captioner] 19:31:53
YEARS KNOWING THIS IS 

[Captioner] 19:31:53
INACCURATE.

[Captioner] 19:31:54
IT'S IMPORTANT FOR PUBLIC 

[Captioner] 19:31:56
OFFICIALS TO REPRESENT THE TRUTH 

[Captioner] 19:32:00
WHEN SPEAKING ABOUT THEIR ROLES 

[Captioner] 19:32:01
IN OUR INSTITUTIONS AND AS A 

[Captioner] 19:32:04
YOUNG RESIDENT IN FREMONT, IT'S 

[Captioner] 19:32:05
DISAPPOINTING TO SEE A LOCAL 

[Captioner] 19:32:06
OFFICIAL ACT IN THIS WAY.

[Captioner] 19:32:09
I EXPECT OUR REPRESENTATIVES TO 

[Captioner] 19:32:11
BE MORE ENGAGED ESPECIALLY WITH 

[Captioner] 19:32:12
YOUNGER GENERATIONS WHO ARE 

[Captioner] 19:32:14
TRYING TO GET INVOLVED AND MAKE 

[Captioner] 19:32:15
A DIFFERENCE IN OUR COMMUNITY.

[Captioner] 19:32:20
THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.

[Captioner] 19:32:22
>> Ms. Gauthier: HIU NG FOLLOWED 

[Captioner] 19:32:23
BY KELLY ABREU.

[Captioner] 19:32:28
>> GOOD EVENING.

[Captioner] 19:32:31
MY NAME IS HIU NG.

[Captioner] 19:32:34
I ALSO WANT TO TALK TONIGHT 

[Captioner] 19:32:34
ABOUT TRANSPARENCY.

[Captioner] 19:32:38
I THINK WHEN A PIECE OF DATA HAS 

[Captioner] 19:32:44
BEEN AVAILABLE SINCE

[Captioner] 19:32:46
 2018, -- DOES NOT HAVE THE 

[Captioner] 19:32:47
RIGHT TO WITHHOLD THAT 

[Captioner] 19:32:47
INFORMATION.

[Captioner] 19:32:49
THE PEOPLE HAVE THE RIGHT TO 

[Captioner] 19:32:52
KNOW, AND WE HAVE THE RIGHT TO 

[Captioner] 19:32:55
DECIDE THE GOOD, THE BAD AND THE 

[Captioner] 19:32:55
UGLY.

[Captioner] 19:32:56
WE SHOULD SEE ALL OF IT.

[Captioner] 19:32:59
I SPECIFICALLY REFER TO WHAT'S 

[Captioner] 19:33:03
KNOWN INSIDE POLICE DEPARTMENT

[Captioner] 19:33:05
 AS 41H CAUSE OR WHAT IS KNOWN 

[Captioner] 19:33:07
TO US AS HOMELESS DISTURBANCE 

[Captioner] 19:33:07
CALLS.

[Captioner] 19:33:09
THAT PIECE OF INFORMATION HAS 

[Captioner] 19:33:15
BEEN MISSING SINCE THIS YEAR.

[Captioner] 19:33:17
IT HAS BEEN AVAILABLE SINCE 

[Captioner] 19:33:17
2018, OKAY?

[Captioner] 19:33:18
IT'S NOT OKAY.

[Captioner] 19:33:20
IT'S NOT OKAY FOR THE POLICE 

[Captioner] 19:33:22
CHIEF TO DECIDE TO WITHHOLD THAT 

[Captioner] 19:33:22
PIECE OF INFORMATION.

[Captioner] 19:33:26
YOU NEED TO PUT IT BACK.

[Captioner] 19:33:27
YOU NEED TO PUT IT BACK.

[Captioner] 19:33:28
THAT'S ALL I'M TRYING TO SAY.

[Captioner] 19:33:30
THE SAME INFORMATION THAT'S 

[Captioner] 19:33:33
AVAILABLE TO US LAST YEAR SHOULD 

[Captioner] 19:33:33
BE AVAILABLE THIS YEAR.

[Captioner] 19:33:35
AND I DON'T CARE IF IT MAKES 

[Captioner] 19:33:38
PEOPLE LOOK GOOD OR LOOK BAD OR 

[Captioner] 19:33:38
LOOK UGLY.

[Captioner] 19:33:39
YOU NEED TO MAKE THAT 

[Captioner] 19:33:39
AVAILABLE.

[Captioner] 19:33:40
THANK YOU.

[Captioner] 19:33:44
>> Ms. Gauthier: THE NEXT 

[Captioner] 19:33:46
SPEAKER IS KELLY ABREU, FOLLOWED 

[Captioner] 19:33:47
BY JOHN HINDS.

[Captioner] 19:33:53
>> SO ON THE

[Captioner] 19:33:56
 WEBSITE, THERE'S SOME 

[Captioner] 19:33:57
LAST-MINUTE -- A LETTER FROM A 

[Captioner] 19:34:00
COMMUNITY MEMBER ON SUNDALE, HE 

[Captioner] 19:34:02
SAYS IN SUNDALE, THERE'S CARS 

[Captioner] 19:34:06
PARKED ILLEGALLY, AND ABANDONED 

[Captioner] 19:34:10
CARS, AND HE -- WHICH I'M SURE 

[Captioner] 19:34:11
HE'S CORRECT ABOUT THAT.

[Captioner] 19:34:14
SO LET'S ACKNOWLEDGE THAT.

[Captioner] 19:34:18
HE MAKES THESE CLAIMS THAT ARE 

[Captioner] 19:34:18
ACTUALLY VERY FAR 

[Captioner] 19:34:19
OVERSTRETCHING.

[Captioner] 19:34:22
HE SAYS THAT THE CITY IS -- 

[Captioner] 19:34:25
THERE'S CLEAR CITY-WIDE NEGLECT 

[Captioner] 19:34:30
IS GROTESQUE, AND HE SAYS

[Captioner] 19:34:32
 CITY -- DUMPING AND GRAFFITI.

[Captioner] 19:34:35
NOW, WHAT'S HAPPENING ON SUNDALE 

[Captioner] 19:34:36
WITH YOUR LACK OF PARKING 

[Captioner] 19:34:39
ENFORCEMENT IS VERY 

[Captioner] 19:34:40
UNDERSTANDABLE, I MEAN, I 

[Captioner] 19:34:42
BELIEVE THIS, BUT YOU KNOW, THIS 

[Captioner] 19:34:44
CITY COUNCIL VOTED TO INCREASE 

[Captioner] 19:34:46
THE NUMBER OF PARKING 

[Captioner] 19:34:48
ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS, 

[Captioner] 19:34:50
COMPLIANCE, WHATEVER, BY A -- A 

[Captioner] 19:34:53
COUPLE YEARS AGO BY THREE EXTRA 

[Captioner] 19:34:55
HIRES, AND IF YOU GO TO MISSION 

[Captioner] 19:34:58
PEAK, YOU WON'T FIND A SINGLE 

[Captioner] 19:35:00
BLOCK FIRE HYDRANT AND YOU'LL 

[Captioner] 19:35:01
FIND A LITTLE RED PAINT IN FRONT 

[Captioner] 19:35:04
OF EVERY FIRE HYDRANT AND YOU'LL 

[Captioner] 19:35:05
FIND EVERYTHING IS SPIC AND SPAN 

[Captioner] 19:35:06
AND NEAT AND CLEAN AND THERE'S 

[Captioner] 19:35:08
NONE OF THESE PROBLEMS THERE, 

[Captioner] 19:35:08
NEAR MISSION PEAK.

[Captioner] 19:35:10
IT'S A GREAT PARK, YOU GUYS CAN 

[Captioner] 19:35:13
ALL COME AND VISIT, AND PARKING 

[Captioner] 19:35:15
IS VERY, VERY CAREFULLY 

[Captioner] 19:35:15
ENFORCED.

[Captioner] 19:35:18
NOW THE CITY POLICE DEPARTMENT 

[Captioner] 19:35:20
HAS A BUDGET EVERY YEAR, AND 

[Captioner] 19:35:22
THIS YEAR THE BUDGET IS GOING TO 

[Captioner] 19:35:28
BE ABOUT $105 MILLION, WAGES AND

[Captioner] 19:35:30
 COMPENSATION.

[Captioner] 19:35:32
NOW THIS PAST YEAR, THEY MANAGED 

[Captioner] 19:35:34
TO SPEND $85 MILLION FOR WAGES 

[Captioner] 19:35:34
AND COMPENSATION.

[Captioner] 19:35:38
THAT GAP HAS BEEN 10% OR 15% FOR 

[Captioner] 19:35:39
THREE YEARS IN A ROW.

[Captioner] 19:35:42
THERE'S A HUGE GAP WHERE YOU 

[Captioner] 19:35:44
GIVE THEM A HUGE AMOUNT OF MONEY 

[Captioner] 19:35:45
AND THEY'RE UNABLE TO SPEND IT.

[Captioner] 19:35:47
SO HOW ARE WE GOING TO FIX 

[Captioner] 19:35:47
THIS?

[Captioner] 19:35:49
I DON'T KNOW BUT IT'S A BIG 

[Captioner] 19:35:49
PROBLEM.

[Captioner] 19:35:55
>> Ms. Gauthier: THE LAST 

[Captioner] 19:35:55
SPEAKER IS JOHN HINDS.

[Captioner] 19:35:57
>> HELLO, EVERYONE TWO OR THREE 

[Captioner] 19:36:00
YEARS AGO, THERE WAS A FELLOW 

[Captioner] 19:36:04
BASED IN DALLAS, I BELIEVE, WHO 

[Captioner] 19:36:09
BUILT AN INTERESTING GENRE FOR 

[Captioner] 19:36:09
HIMSELF.

[Captioner] 19:36:11
HE WOULD GO TO CITY COUNCIL 

[Captioner] 19:36:13
MEETINGS IN TEXAS AND IN THE 

[Captioner] 19:36:15
ZOOM ERA, HE WOULD SHOW UP AT 

[Captioner] 19:36:16
COUNCIL MEETINGS ALL AROUND THE 

[Captioner] 19:36:16
COUNTRY.

[Captioner] 19:36:18
HE WOULD DO REALLY FUNNY STUFF.

[Captioner] 19:36:20
HE WOULD RAP AT CITY COUNCIL 

[Captioner] 19:36:21
MEETINGS AND GOT KIND OF SI LEA 

[Captioner] 19:36:21
SOMETIMES.

[Captioner] 19:36:25
HE WAS ENTERTAINING, BUT WHAT HE 

[Captioner] 19:36:27
WAS DOING WAS USING CITY COUNCIL 

[Captioner] 19:36:30
MEETINGS TO TALK NATIONAL 

[Captioner] 19:36:30
POLITICS.

[Captioner] 19:36:32
NOW, I MIGHT NOT BE THE BEST -- 

[Captioner] 19:36:34
IN THE BEST POSITION TO THROW 

[Captioner] 19:36:36
STONES BECAUSE I BROUGHT SOME 

[Captioner] 19:36:37
FUNNY STUFF IN HERE TOO, BUT TO 

[Captioner] 19:36:40
THE BEST OF MY ABILITY, I TRIED 

[Captioner] 19:36:41
TO STICK TO STUFF THAT WAS 

[Captioner] 19:36:42
CURRENTLY CITY BUSINESS OR WOULD 

[Captioner] 19:36:44
IN THE NEAR FUTURE BE CITY 

[Captioner] 19:36:44
BUSINESS.

[Captioner] 19:36:47
ITEM 4 PUBLIC COMMUNICATIONS IS 

[Captioner] 19:36:48
WIDE OPEN, WE GET TO BRING UP 

[Captioner] 19:36:49
ANYTHING WE WANT, BUT I WOULD 

[Captioner] 19:36:52
JUST URGE PEOPLE TO THINK WHERE 

[Captioner] 19:36:54
THE BOUNDARY LINES ARE BETWEEN 

[Captioner] 19:36:57
CITY BUSINESS AND CAMPAIGNING 

[Captioner] 19:36:58
FOR UPCOMING ELECTIONS.

[Captioner] 19:36:58
THANK YOU.

BUILDING OFFICIAL.

[Captioner] 19:39:47
THE ITEM BEFORE YOU THIS EVENING 

[Captioner] 19:39:49
IS THE BUILDING APPEALS BOARD.

[Captioner] 19:39:58
APPEALS OF THE CALIFORNIA 

[Captioner] 19:39:59
BUILDING CODE, FIRE CODE AND 

[Captioner] 19:40:01
HEALTH AND SAFETY CODE WERE 

[Captioner] 19:40:03
HISTORICALLY HEARD BY A SOLE 

[Captioner] 19:40:03
ADMINISTRATIVE HEARING OFFICER.

[Captioner] 19:40:09
SECTION 1.8.8 OF THE CALIFORNIA

[Captioner] 19:40:12
HEALTH AND SAFETY CODE ALLOW FOR 

[Captioner] 19:40:13
LOCAL APPEAL BOARD.

[Captioner] 19:40:15
IN A RECENT COURT CASE THE CITY 

[Captioner] 19:40:19
WAS A PARTY TO -- A COURT FOUND

[Captioner] 19:40:22
 SECTION 1.8.8 PREEMPTED THE 

[Captioner] 19:40:25
CITY'S PRE-EXISTING PROCESS AND 

[Captioner] 19:40:26
FOUND THAT WE NEEDED TO HAVE A 

[Captioner] 19:40:27
BOARD TO HEAR THESE TYPES OF 

[Captioner] 19:40:28
APPEALS.

[Captioner] 19:40:37
NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE.

[Captioner] 19:40:52
THANK YOU.

[Captioner] 19:40:54
STAFF IS RECOMMENDING THE 

[Captioner] 19:40:57
CREATION OF A THREE-MEMBER BOARD 

[Captioner] 19:40:58
TO HEAR APPEALS OF ORDERS, 

[Captioner] 19:41:00
DECISIONS AND DETERMINATIONS OF 

[Captioner] 19:41:01
THE BUILDING OFFICIAL AND FIRE 

[Captioner] 19:41:04
CHIEF OR FIRE MARSHAL.

[Captioner] 19:41:05
THIS WOULD INCLUDE THE 

[Captioner] 19:41:06
APPLICATIONS AND INTERPRETATION 

[Captioner] 19:41:09
OF HOUSING LAWS AND THE HEALTH 

[Captioner] 19:41:13
AND SAFETY CODE AND ALMOST ALL 

[Captioner] 19:41:16
OF TITLE 15 OF THE FREMONT 

[Captioner] 19:41:20
MUNICIPAL CODE WHICH IS BUILDING 

[Captioner] 19:41:23
AND CONSTRUCTION.

[Captioner] 19:41:25
IT WOULD BE A THREE-MEMBER BOARD 

[Captioner] 19:41:27
NOMINATED BY THE MAYOR AND 

[Captioner] 19:41:27
APPOINTED BY COUNCIL.

[Captioner] 19:41:29
BOARD MEMBERS WOULD BE EXPECTED 

[Captioner] 19:41:30
TO HAVE KNOWLEDGE OF BUILDING 

[Captioner] 19:41:32
AND FIRE CODES AND THE BUILDING 

[Captioner] 19:41:35
OFFICIAL WOULD SERVE -- OR THEIR 

[Captioner] 19:41:36
DESIGNEE WOULD SERVE AS 

[Captioner] 19:41:36
SECRETARY TO THIS BOARD.

[Captioner] 19:41:40
IN ADDITION TO THE BUILDING 

[Captioner] 19:41:42
APPEALS BOARD, IN THE ORDINANCE 

[Captioner] 19:41:45
BEFORE YOU THERE IS PROVISIONS 

[Captioner] 19:41:47
RELATED TO THE HOUSING 

[Captioner] 19:41:47
ACCOUNTABILITY ACT.

[Captioner] 19:41:50
THE HOUSING ACCOUNTABILITY ACT 

[Captioner] 19:41:54
HAS MANDATORY TIME FRAMES FOR 

[Captioner] 19:41:56
ISSUANCE OF POST ENTITLEMENT 

[Captioner] 19:41:58
PERMITS SUCH AS BUILDING 

[Captioner] 19:41:58
PERMITS.

[Captioner] 19:42:01
STATE LAW ALLOWS APPEALS OF 

[Captioner] 19:42:03
DETERMINATIONS RELATED TO 

[Captioner] 19:42:04
INCOMPLETENESS, NONCOMPLIANCE 

[Captioner] 19:42:04
AND DENIAL.

[Captioner] 19:42:06
THE ORDINANCE WOULD SPECIFY THE 

[Captioner] 19:42:07
PLANNING COMMISSION AS THE 

[Captioner] 19:42:08
HEARING BODY FOR THESE TYPES OF APPEALS.

[Captioner] 19:42:14
IN ADDITION, THERE'S A PROPOSED 

[Captioner] 19:42:15
AMENDMENT TO THE MASTER FEE 

[Captioner] 19:42:15
SCHEDULE.

[Captioner] 19:42:20
AN APPEAL FEE OF $2,109 WAS

[Captioner] 19:42:22
 PREVIOUSLY ADOPTED FOR THE 

[Captioner] 19:42:23
HOUSING ACCOUNTABILITY ACT 

[Captioner] 19:42:24
APPEALS I JUST DISCUSSED.

[Captioner] 19:42:27
A NEW FEE OF THE SAME AMOUNT FOR 

[Captioner] 19:42:28
APPEALS TO THE BUILDING APPEALS 

[Captioner] 19:42:29
BOARD IS PROPOSED.

[Captioner] 19:42:32
AND THIS WOULD ENSURE THE COST 

[Captioner] 19:42:33
OF PROCESSING THESE TYPES OF 

[Captioner] 19:42:34
APPEALS IS RECOVERED.

[Captioner] 19:42:41
TO STAFF IS RECOMMENDING THE 

[Captioner] 19:42:42
COUNCIL CONSIDER ADOPTING AN 

[Captioner] 19:42:44
ORDINANCE FOR THE BUILDING 

[Captioner] 19:42:44
APPEALS BOARD.

[Captioner] 19:42:46
THERE ARE TWO OPTIONS FOR THE 

[Captioner] 19:42:46
COUNCIL.

[Captioner] 19:42:48
STAFF IS RECOMMENDING THE 

[Captioner] 19:42:50
ADOPTION OF AN URGENCY 

[Captioner] 19:42:55
ORDINANCE, WHICH IS A

[Captioner] 19:42:59
 ALLOWED WHEN

[Captioner] 19:43:04
 THERE'S PEACE, HEALTH AND SAFETY.

[Captioner] 19:43:05
THE LACK OF A LOCAL APPEALS 

[Captioner] 19:43:06
BOARD IS PREVENTING THE CITY 

[Captioner] 19:43:08
FROM ENFORCING LOCAL LAW EITHER 

[Captioner] 19:43:10
BY CONFIRMING THE EXISTENCE OF 

[Captioner] 19:43:12
CODE VIOLATIONS OR OBTAINING 

[Captioner] 19:43:12
COMPLIANCE.

[Captioner] 19:43:14
THE ESTABLISHMENT OF THE LOCAL 

[Captioner] 19:43:16
APPEALS BOARD IS NECESSARY FOR 

[Captioner] 19:43:17
THE PRESERVATION OF PEACE, 

[Captioner] 19:43:18
HEALTH AND SAFETY.

[Captioner] 19:43:20
WITHOUT THIS ACTION, THE CITY 

[Captioner] 19:43:21
CANNOT ENFORCE THE CALIFORNIA 

[Captioner] 19:43:21
BUILDING CODE.

[Captioner] 19:43:24
IF THE COUNCIL FEELS THEY CAN 

[Captioner] 19:43:26
MAKE THE FINDINGS FOR THEIR 

[Captioner] 19:43:28
URGENCY ORDINANCE, WE WOULD 

[Captioner] 19:43:29
RECOMMEND THEY GO AHEAD AND 

[Captioner] 19:43:29
ADOPT THAT.

[Captioner] 19:43:34
IT'S REQUIRED TO BE ADOPTED BY A 

[Captioner] 19:43:34
FOUR-FIFTHS VOTE OF THE 

[Captioner] 19:43:34
COUNCIL.

[Captioner] 19:43:36
SHOULD THEY DECIDE NOT TO MAKE 

[Captioner] 19:43:38
THE FINDINGS RELATED TO AN 

[Captioner] 19:43:40
URGENCY ORDINANCE, THERE IS 

[Captioner] 19:43:42
ANOTHER ALTERNATIVE ORDINANCE 

[Captioner] 19:43:45
FOR A REGULAR ORDINANCE WHICH IS 

[Captioner] 19:43:46
EXHIBIT B BECAUSE EXHIBIT A IS 

[Captioner] 19:43:48
THE URGENCY ORDINANCE.

[Captioner] 19:43:55
FINALLY WE RECOMMEND TO ADOPT A

[Captioner] 19:43:58
 RESOLUTION TO AMEND THE MASTER 

[Captioner] 19:44:00
FEE SCHEDULE FOR APPEALS TO THE 

[Captioner] 19:44:01
BUILDING APPEALS BOARD.

[Captioner] 19:44:05
>> Cty. Attny. Alvarado: THIS IS 

[Captioner] 19:44:08
A UNIQUE PROCEDURE THAT WE HAVE 

[Captioner] 19:44:08
BEFORE US THIS EVENING.

[Captioner] 19:44:10
IN FACT, AS MENTIONED, THERE ARE 

[Captioner] 19:44:12
TWO ORDINANCES BEING RECOMMENDED 

[Captioner] 19:44:14
TO BE ADOPTED AND I WANTED TO 

[Captioner] 19:44:16
MAKE A PROCEDURAL 

[Captioner] 19:44:16
CLARIFICATION.

[Captioner] 19:44:21
WE'RE ACTUALLY RECOMMEND, STAFF 

[Captioner] 19:44:22
IS RECOMMENDING THAT WE ADOPT 

[Captioner] 19:44:23
BOTH ORDINANCES.

[Captioner] 19:44:24
TYPICALLY WHEN THE COUNCIL 

[Captioner] 19:44:27
ADOPTS AN ORDINANCE, THERE'S A 

[Captioner] 19:44:28
SECOND READING AND THEN AN 

[Captioner] 19:44:30
ORDINANCE BECOMES EFFECTIVE 30 

[Captioner] 19:44:31
DAYS AFTER THAT PERIOD, WHICH 

[Captioner] 19:44:34
MEANS IF YOU WERE TO SIMPLY 

[Captioner] 19:44:35
ADOPT -- EXCUSE ME -- INTRODUCE 

[Captioner] 19:44:37
A REGULAR ORDINANCE THIS 

[Captioner] 19:44:39
EVENING, WE WOULD HAVE TO WAIT 

[Captioner] 19:44:40
ANOTHER 35 DAYS FOR THAT 

[Captioner] 19:44:41
ORDINANCE TO TAKE EFFECT.

[Captioner] 19:44:47
IF WE ALSO ADOPT AN URGENCY 

[Captioner] 19:44:48
ORDINANCE THIS EVENING, THAT 

[Captioner] 19:44:49
ORDINANCE, WHICH IS IDENTICAL TO 

[Captioner] 19:44:51
THE REGULAR ORDINANCE, WOULD GO 

[Captioner] 19:44:52
INTO EFFECT THIS EVENING, WHICH 

[Captioner] 19:44:54
WOULD ALLOW THE CITY TO PROCEED 

[Captioner] 19:44:56
WITH THE ESTABLISHMENT OF THIS 

[Captioner] 19:44:57
BOARD WITHOUT DELAY.

[Captioner] 19:44:59
THAT URGENCY ORDINANCE INCLUDES 

[Captioner] 19:45:02
URGENCY FINDINGS IF THE COUNCIL 

[Captioner] 19:45:04
ACCEPTS WOULD ALLOW US TO MOVE 

[Captioner] 19:45:05
FORWARD ON THE URGENCY ORDINANCE 

[Captioner] 19:45:08
SO LONG AS FIVE OF THE SEVEN 

[Captioner] 19:45:09
COUNCILMEMBERS VOTE YES, IN 

[Captioner] 19:45:09
FAVOR.

[Captioner] 19:45:11
SO WE ARE ASKING YOU TO ADOPT 

[Captioner] 19:45:14
BOTH ORDINANCES THIS EVENING.

[Captioner] 19:45:17
THE URGENCY ORDINANCE REQUIRES A 

[Captioner] 19:45:19
MINIMUM FIVE VOTES OF THE 

[Captioner] 19:45:20
COUNCIL IN FAVOR.

[Captioner] 19:45:23
THE REGULAR ORDINANCE REQUIRES A 

[Captioner] 19:45:23
SIMPLE MAJORITY.

[Captioner] 19:45:25
THE RESOLUTION REQUIRES A SIMPLE 

[Captioner] 19:45:25
MAJORITY.

[Captioner] 19:45:29
SO IF A MOTION IS MADE AND THE 

[Captioner] 19:45:31
DESIRE IS TO MOVE THE FULL 

[Captioner] 19:45:32
RECOMMENDATION, CAN YOU DO THAT 

[Captioner] 19:45:33
IN ONE ACTION.

[Captioner] 19:45:35
WE WOULD SIMPLY NEED A MINIMUM 

[Captioner] 19:45:38
OF FIVE VOTES AT LEAST IN ORDER 

[Captioner] 19:45:40
TO ADOPT THE URGENCY ORDINANCE.

[Captioner] 19:45:40
THANK YOU.

[Captioner] 19:45:44
>> Mayor Mei: THANK YOU.

[Captioner] 19:45:46
AT THIS TIME I WANTED TO SEE IF 

[Captioner] 19:45:47
THERE'S ANY CLARIFYING QUESTIONS 

[Captioner] 19:45:48
FROM THE COUNCIL FOR THIS ITEM.

[Captioner] 19:45:54
SEEING NONE, I'D LIKE TO SEE IF 

[Captioner] 19:45:55
-- OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING.

[Captioner] 19:45:59
AND I'D LIKE TO CALL TWO 

[Captioner] 19:46:00
SPEAKERS ON THIS ITEM.

[Captioner] 19:46:01
THANK YOU.

[Captioner] 19:46:04
>> Ms. Gauthier: THE SPEAKERS 

[Captioner] 19:46:08
ARE JOHN WEED AND KELLY ABREU.

[Captioner] 19:46:11
>> THANK YOU.

[Captioner] 19:46:19
JOHN WEED, MISSION

[Captioner] 19:46:19
 BOULEVARD.

[Captioner] 19:46:21
BUILDING CODES AND ENFORCEMENT 

[Captioner] 19:46:22
ARE A POLICE POWER.

[Captioner] 19:46:25
THE BUILDING CODE VIOLATION IS 

[Captioner] 19:46:26
THE EQUIVALENT OF GETTING A 

[Captioner] 19:46:27
TRAFFIC TICKET OR A PARKING 

[Captioner] 19:46:27
CITATION.

[Captioner] 19:46:32
CURRENTLY, THE APPEAL COST IS 

[Captioner] 19:46:32
$35.

[Captioner] 19:46:37
AS AN APPROPRIATE AND REASONABLE 

[Captioner] 19:46:37
AMOUNT.

[Captioner] 19:46:42
THIS IS AN OVERWHELMING BURDEN 

[Captioner] 19:46:44
FOR SOMEONE TO BE ABLE TO COME 

[Captioner] 19:46:48
IN AND MAKE A MINOR VIOLATION

[Captioner] 19:46:51
 NOTICE ON A PROPERTY OWNER AND 

[Captioner] 19:46:55
TO APPEAL IT IS A $2,100

[Captioner] 19:46:55
 FEE.

[Captioner] 19:46:57
THE MASTER SERVICE SCHEDULE HAS 

[Captioner] 19:47:01
SIX EXEMPTIONS FOR THAT THAT 

[Captioner] 19:47:05
ALLOW A COST OF -- PROCESS

[Captioner] 19:47:08
 WITH A DEPOSIT OF 2,000 TO 

[Captioner] 19:47:08
$5,000.

[Captioner] 19:47:10
THIS CALLS FOR A FEE.

[Captioner] 19:47:13
THIS WOULD BE UNIQUE IN YOUR 

[Captioner] 19:47:14
ZONING AND PLANS ORDINANCES.

[Captioner] 19:47:25
I HAVE AN APPEAL CURRENTLY 

[Captioner] 19:47:28
RELATED TO MY PROPERTY FOR A 

[Captioner] 19:47:29
CODE ENFORCEMENT, NOTICE OF 

[Captioner] 19:47:29
VIOLATION.

[Captioner] 19:47:32
I WAS TOLD TO HOLD OFF ON THAT 

[Captioner] 19:47:37
APPEAL SO THE CITY COULD DO SOME 

[Captioner] 19:47:37
INVESTIGATIONS.

[Captioner] 19:47:39
LITTLE TO MY KNOWLEDGE WOULD THE 

[Captioner] 19:47:41
CITY PROMOTE THIS URGENCY 

[Captioner] 19:47:42
ORDINANCE TO TAKE EFFECT TONIGHT 

[Captioner] 19:47:44
WITH A $2,100 FEE.

[Captioner] 19:47:53
I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO DELAY 

[Captioner] 19:47:53
THIS.

[Captioner] 19:47:56
THE PLANNING COMMISSION HAS NOT 

[Captioner] 19:47:57
REVIEWED THIS ORDINANCE.

[Captioner] 19:47:59
YOU'VE HAD ONE INCIDENCE WHERE 

[Captioner] 19:48:03
IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN APPROPRIATE 

[Captioner] 19:48:07
FOR THE -- TO SET UP A 

[Captioner] 19:48:10
COMMISSION THAT MIGHT MEET ONCE 

[Captioner] 19:48:11
EVERY 10 YEARS DOESN'T MAKE A 

[Captioner] 19:48:11
LOT OF SENSE.

[Captioner] 19:48:15
YOU SHOULD REVIEW IT, I 

[Captioner] 19:48:21
ENCOURAGE YOU --

[Captioner] 19:48:25
>> Mayor Mei: THANK YOU, MR. 

[Captioner] 19:48:26
WEED.

[Captioner] 19:48:33
WELCOME, KELLY.

[Captioner] 19:48:37
>> YOUR NEW COUNCILMEMBER 

[Captioner] 19:48:39
KIMBERLIN COMES FROM THE COUNTY 

[Captioner] 19:48:41
OF ALAMEDA AND THE COUNTY HAS A 

[Captioner] 19:48:46
LOT OF HOUSING APPEALS AND 

[Captioner] 19:48:47
ENVIRONMENTAL APPEALS AND ZONING 

[Captioner] 19:48:48
APPEALS AND CODE ENFORCEMENT 

[Captioner] 19:48:48
APPEALS.

[Captioner] 19:48:51
I'VE SEEN QUITE A FEW AT THEIR 

[Captioner] 19:48:55
HEARING BOARD, AND THEY DON'T 

[Captioner] 19:48:55
CHARGE $2,000.

[Captioner] 19:48:57
IN FACT, A LOT OF TIMES THEY 

[Captioner] 19:49:01
WAIVE THE -- THEY ROUTINELY 

[Captioner] 19:49:02
WAIVE THE APPEALS FEES.

[Captioner] 19:49:06
IT'S NOWHERE NEAR $2,000, IT'S A 

[Captioner] 19:49:07
SMALL FRACTION OF THAT.

[Captioner] 19:49:09
SO I TONIGHT KNOW WHERE YOU GET 

[Captioner] 19:49:09
THE $2,000 FROM.

[Captioner] 19:49:13
DO YOU HAVE ANY LIKE 

[Captioner] 19:49:14
JUSTIFICATION, DO ANY 

[Captioner] 19:49:14
COMPARISONS?

[Captioner] 19:49:20
HOW ABOUT THE UNINCORPORATED 

[Captioner] 19:49:23
AREA, IN THE EAST, SEE WHAT THEY 

[Captioner] 19:49:23
CHARGE FOR APPEALS.

[Captioner] 19:49:28
THIS $2,000 IS JUST A WAY TO 

[Captioner] 19:49:32
REALLY KEEP PEOPLE FROM HAVING 

[Captioner] 19:49:34
THEIR CASES HEARD BY AN APPEALS 

[Captioner] 19:49:34
BOARD.

[Captioner] 19:49:38
AND THEY RUN THEIR APPEALS 

[Captioner] 19:49:40
BOARDS ALL THE TIME.

[Captioner] 19:49:45
THE FEES ARE TINY COMPARED

[Captioner] 19:49:46
 TO $2,000.

[Captioner] 19:49:48
I DON'T KNOW HOW THIS -- YOU 

[Captioner] 19:49:49
KNOW, I NEVER HEARD OF THIS.

[Captioner] 19:49:51
IT A SHOCKING NUMBER.

[Captioner] 19:49:53
BECAUSE I'M SO USED TO HOW THEY 

[Captioner] 19:49:54
DO IT OVER THERE.

[Captioner] 19:49:56
PROBABLY OVER HERE, IT'S NOT A 

[Captioner] 19:49:57
SHOCKING NUMBER BECAUSE NOBODY 

[Captioner] 19:49:58
CAN AFFORD TO APPEAL.

[Captioner] 19:49:59
THANK YOU.

[Captioner] 19:50:06
SUE THAT IS THE LAST SPEAKER.

[Captioner] 19:50:07
>> Mayor Mei: THANK YOU.

[Captioner] 19:50:09
AT THIS TIME I'LL CLOSE THE 

[Captioner] 19:50:10
PUBLIC COMMENT AND THE PUBLIC 

[Captioner] 19:50:10
HEARING.

[Captioner] 19:50:15
SO I'D LIKE TO TURN IT BACK FOR 

[Captioner] 19:50:16
QUESTIONS AND COMMENT FROM OUR 

[Captioner] 19:50:16
COUNCILMEMBERS.

[Captioner] 19:50:17
I'LL BEGIN WITH COUNCILMEMBER 

[Captioner] 19:50:17
SALWAN.

[Captioner] 19:50:19
>> Councilmember Salwan: THANK 

[Captioner] 19:50:20
YOU, MADAME MAYOR, THANK YOU, 

[Captioner] 19:50:20
MR. WAGE.

[Captioner] 19:50:22
SO I UNDERSTAND THE IMPORTANCE 

[Captioner] 19:50:25
OF THIS URGENCY IN SETTING UP 

[Captioner] 19:50:26
THIS APPEAL BOARD.

[Captioner] 19:50:31
MR. WEED RAISES A GOOD POINT, 

[Captioner] 19:50:33
THERE IS DISTINCTION BETWEEN A 

[Captioner] 19:50:34
BIG LEGAL CASE VERSUS SOMEBODY 

[Captioner] 19:50:36
THAT GOT A TICKET.

[Captioner] 19:50:38
IS THE FEE THE SAME FOR A 

[Captioner] 19:50:39
HOMEOWNERS THAT HAS OVERGROWN 

[Captioner] 19:50:40
TREES OR WHATEVER VERSUS 

[Captioner] 19:50:42
SOMEBODY THAT HAS A MUCH LARGER 

[Captioner] 19:50:44
ISSUE OR SOME PROPERTY THAT'S IN 

[Captioner] 19:50:44
DISREPAIR?

[Captioner] 19:50:48
>> SO THIS APPEALS BOARD WOULD 

[Captioner] 19:50:49
-- JUST TO RECAP, WOULD 

[Captioner] 19:50:50
SPECIFICALLY HEAR APPEALS 

[Captioner] 19:50:52
RELATED TO THE BUILDING CODE AND 

[Captioner] 19:50:55
FIRE CODE AND HEALTH AND SAFE 

[Captioner] 19:50:59
CODE RELATED TO

[Captioner] 19:51:03
 HOUSING, -- THOSE WOULDN'T BE 

[Captioner] 19:51:04
HEARD BY THIS BOARD, THOSE WOULD 

[Captioner] 19:51:06
GO TO OUR EXISTING APPEAL 

[Captioner] 19:51:07
PROCESS WHICH WOULD BE HEARD BY 

[Captioner] 19:51:09
THE SOLE ADMINISTRATIVE HEARING 

[Captioner] 19:51:10
OFFICER AND THERE'S NOT A FEE 

[Captioner] 19:51:11
ASSOCIATED WITH THAT APPEAL.

[Captioner] 19:51:13
>> Councilmember Salwan: SO IS 

[Captioner] 19:51:16
THIS FOR THE APPEALS FROM THE 

[Captioner] 19:51:17
HEARING OFFICER WOULD GO TO THIS 

[Captioner] 19:51:17
BOARD?

[Captioner] 19:51:18
IS THAT HOW THAT WORKS?

[Captioner] 19:51:20
>> NO, THESE ARE JUST -- THESE 

[Captioner] 19:51:25
ARE APPEALS SPECIFIC TO TITLE 

[Captioner] 19:51:26
15, THE VAST MAJORITY OF 

[Captioner] 19:51:30
PROVISIONS IN TITLE 15, AND 

[Captioner] 19:51:32
SUBSTANDARD HOUSING CONDITIONS 

[Captioner] 19:51:35
IN THE HEALTH AND SAFETY CODE, 

[Captioner] 19:51:36
WHEN THERE'S ACTIONS BY THE 

[Captioner] 19:51:38
BUILDING OFFICIAL OR FIRE CHIEF 

[Captioner] 19:51:40
RELATED TO THOSE CODE SECTIONS, 

[Captioner] 19:51:42
THOSE ARE THE TYPES OF APPEALS 

[Captioner] 19:51:44
THAT WOULD BE HEARD BY THIS 

[Captioner] 19:51:44
APPEALS BOARD.

[Captioner] 19:51:48
>> I THINK THE PLANNING IS A 

[Captioner] 19:51:49
COST RECOVERY MODEL, CORRECT?

[Captioner] 19:51:49
>> THAT'S CORRECT.

[Captioner] 19:51:55
THE $2,109 FEE MIRRORS A SIMILAR 

[Captioner] 19:51:59
FEE FOR HOUSING POST

[Captioner] 19:52:01
 ENTITLEMENT APPEALS WHICH ARE 

[Captioner] 19:52:03
GENERALLY SIMILAR IN NATURE AND 

[Captioner] 19:52:05
THEY'RE ACCOUNTING FOR STAFF 

[Captioner] 19:52:07
TIME WHICH ACCOUNT FOR THE 

[Captioner] 19:52:08
TYPICAL STAFF TIME TO PROCESS 

[Captioner] 19:52:08
ONE OF THESE APPEALS.

[Captioner] 19:52:12
SO ADOPTING THE FEE WOULD ENSURE 

[Captioner] 19:52:13
COST RECOVERY FOR THESE 

[Captioner] 19:52:13
APPEALS.

[Captioner] 19:52:14
>> Councilmember Salwan: THANK 

[Captioner] 19:52:14
YOU.

[Captioner] 19:52:17
>> Mayor Mei: THANK YOU.

[Captioner] 19:52:20
NEXT IS COUNCILMEMBER -- OR 

[Captioner] 19:52:20
ACTUALLY VICE MAYOR CAMPBELL.

[Captioner] 19:52:25
>> Vice Mayor Campbell: THANK 

[Captioner] 19:52:26
YOU FOR THIS PRESENTATION.

[Captioner] 19:52:29
I JUST HAVE A QUICK QUESTION 

[Captioner] 19:52:30
ABOUT PLANNING COMMISSION 

[Captioner] 19:52:30
REVIEW.

[Captioner] 19:52:32
IS THAT SOMETHING THAT'S 

[Captioner] 19:52:34
NECESSARY FOR THIS PARTICULAR 

[Captioner] 19:52:34
ITEM?

[Captioner] 19:52:38
I HEARD ONE OF THE SPEAKERS SAY 

[Captioner] 19:52:38
THAT.

[Captioner] 19:52:44
>> STATE LAW AND THE HOUSING 

[Captioner] 19:52:45
ACCOUNTABILITY ACT EXPLICITLY 

[Captioner] 19:52:46
CALLS OUT THE PLANNING 

[Captioner] 19:52:48
COMMISSION AS A BODY THAT'S ABLE 

[Captioner] 19:52:50
TO HEAR THESE TYPES OF APPEALS.

[Captioner] 19:52:54
>> I'M SORRY, I WANT TO REPHRASE 

[Captioner] 19:52:54
THAT.

[Captioner] 19:52:56
DID THIS PARTICULAR ITEM, DOES 

[Captioner] 19:52:58
IT NEED TO GO TO THE PLANNING 

[Captioner] 19:52:59
COMMISSION FOR APPROVAL BEFORE 

[Captioner] 19:53:00
IT COMES TO THE COUNCIL?

[Captioner] 19:53:02
>> NO, TYPICALLY THE PLANNING 

[Captioner] 19:53:04
COMMISSION WOULD CONSIDER TIE 

[Captioner] 19:53:08
TERMS IN TITLE 18 PLANNING AND 

[Captioner] 19:53:08
ZONING.

[Captioner] 19:53:09
>> Vice Mayor Campbell: AND THEN 

[Captioner] 19:53:12
DO WE HAVE A LOT OF THESE HEALTH 

[Captioner] 19:53:16
AND SAFETY AND FIRE CODE 

[Captioner] 19:53:16
VIOLATIONS NOW?

[Captioner] 19:53:19
SO WOULD IT BE ANTICIPATED THAT 

[Captioner] 19:53:22
WE WOULD SEE HUNDREDS OF THESE 

[Captioner] 19:53:27
IN A YEAR'S TIME OR MAYBE NOT?

[Captioner] 19:53:29
>> IN TERMS OF INSTANCES WHERE 

[Captioner] 19:53:32
STAFF IS IMPLEMENTING OR TAKING 

[Captioner] 19:53:35
ACTIONS RELATED TO FIRE BUILDING 

[Captioner] 19:53:36
CODE, HEALTH AND SAFETY CODE, 

[Captioner] 19:53:37
THEY'RE QUITE COMMON.

[Captioner] 19:53:41
BUT GENERALLY WE'RE WORKING WITH 

[Captioner] 19:53:42
PEOPLE ON DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS 

[Captioner] 19:53:47
TO RESOLVE ISSUES AND WORKING

[Captioner] 19:53:47
 COOPERATIVELY.

[Captioner] 19:53:51
SIMILARLY IN CODE ENFORCEMENT, 

[Captioner] 19:53:52
WE SEND NOTICES BUT TYPICALLY 

[Captioner] 19:53:54
OUR PROCESS IS TO GET VOLUNTARY 

[Captioner] 19:53:56
COMPLIANCE, AND WORKING WITH 

[Captioner] 19:53:56
PROPERTY OWNERS.

[Captioner] 19:53:58
IN THE LAST FIVE YEARS, WE'VE 

[Captioner] 19:54:00
HAD LESS THAN 15 APPEALS RELATED 

[Captioner] 19:54:01
TO BUILDING AND FIRE CODES.

[Captioner] 19:54:04
>> Vice Mayor Campbell: THOSE 

[Captioner] 19:54:09
WERE HANDLED SEPARATELY THROUGH

[Captioner] 19:54:12
 THE INDIVIDUAL ASSESSOR OR 

[Captioner] 19:54:12
ADMINISTRATOR?

[Captioner] 19:54:14
>> THAT'S CORRECT.

[Captioner] 19:54:17
THOSE WERE HEARD BY --

[Captioner] 19:54:18
>> Vice Mayor Campbell: THE 

[Captioner] 19:54:19
ADMINISTRATIVE HEARING OFFICER.

[Captioner] 19:54:20
>> CORRECT.

[Captioner] 19:54:21
WHEREAS --

[Captioner] 19:54:22
>> Vice Mayor Campbell: NOW 

[Captioner] 19:54:23
THEY'RE BEING HEARD BY THIS 

[Captioner] 19:54:24
THREE-PERSON PANEL.

[Captioner] 19:54:25
>> CORRECT.

[Captioner] 19:54:25
>> Vice Mayor Campbell: THANK 

[Captioner] 19:54:25
YOU.

[Captioner] 19:54:27
>> Mayor Mei: THANK YOU.

[Captioner] 19:54:28
NEXT, COUNCILMEMBER KENG.

[Captioner] 19:54:31
>> Councilmember Keng: THANK 

[Captioner] 19:54:31
YOU, MAYOR.

[Captioner] 19:54:35
I ALSO HAD THE SAME QUESTION 

[Captioner] 19:54:37
ABOUT THE -- I THINK SOME OF IT 

[Captioner] 19:54:41
WAS EXPLAINED, SO THIS WOULDN'T 

[Captioner] 19:54:43
APPLY TO HOMEOWNERS THAT HAD ANY 

[Captioner] 19:54:45
VOI LAITIONS, BUT YOU WERE 

[Captioner] 19:54:47
SAYING THIS WOULD APPLY TO ANY 

[Captioner] 19:54:47
HOUSING PROJECT?

[Captioner] 19:54:51
IS THERE A SEVERAL NUMBER OF

[Captioner] 19:54:55
 UNITS ON THE NEW -- THAT THE 

[Captioner] 19:54:56
NEW ORDINANCE WOULD APPLY TO?

[Captioner] 19:55:00
>> IT'S NOT NECESSARILY BASED

[Captioner] 19:55:03
 ON BUILDING OR OWNERSHIP TIME.

[Captioner] 19:55:07
IT REALLY THE NATURE OF

[Captioner] 19:55:09
 THE -- COUNCILMEMBER SALWAN 

[Captioner] 19:55:11
MENTIONED OVERGROWN VEGETATION, 

[Captioner] 19:55:12
TRASH, ABANDONED VEHICLES OR 

[Captioner] 19:55:14
THINGS LIKE THAT THAT ARE IN OUR 

[Captioner] 19:55:15
NUISANCE ORDINANCE, THOSE WOULD 

[Captioner] 19:55:19
CONTINUE TO BE HEARD BY -- IT 

[Captioner] 19:55:21
DOES OFTEN APPLY TO MULTIFAMILY 

[Captioner] 19:55:24
BUILDINGS, COMMERCIAL BUILDINGS, 

[Captioner] 19:55:24
SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES.

[Captioner] 19:55:27
THESE OTHER TYPES, FIRE CODE 

[Captioner] 19:55:29
VIOLATIONS, BUILDING CODE 

[Captioner] 19:55:30
VIOLATIONS AND HEALTH AND SAFETY 

[Captioner] 19:55:32
CODE VIOLATIONS COULD RELATE TO 

[Captioner] 19:55:34
ALL THOSE BUILDING TYPES AS 

[Captioner] 19:55:34
WELL.

[Captioner] 19:55:37
IT REALLY DEPENDS ON THE NATURE 

[Captioner] 19:55:38
OF THE VIOLATION.

[Captioner] 19:55:41
>> Councilmember Keng: SO IF 

[Captioner] 19:55:42
THAT MEANS -- A SINGLE-FAMILY 

[Captioner] 19:55:44
HOME HAS ANY OF THESE VIOLATIONS 

[Captioner] 19:55:46
THEY NEED TO PAY $2,000 OR ONLY 

[Captioner] 19:55:47
FOR THE APPEAL?

[Captioner] 19:55:48
>> ONLY FOR THE APPEAL.

[Captioner] 19:55:50
TYPICALLY IF THERE WAS A 

[Captioner] 19:55:52
VIOLATION NOTED THROUGH AN 

[Captioner] 19:55:53
INSPECTION, WE'D PROVIDE 

[Captioner] 19:55:55
NOTIFICATION OF THAT AND TRY TO 

[Captioner] 19:55:57
GET THEM TO RESOLVE IT.

[Captioner] 19:55:58
>> Councilmember Keng: SO 

[Captioner] 19:56:02
BASICALLY WHEN THEY ARE IN THE 

[Captioner] 19:56:04
-- PROCESS, EVEN FOR A 

[Captioner] 19:56:07
SINGLE-FAMILY HOME AS MR. WEED 

[Captioner] 19:56:12
EARLIER WAS SAYING, EVERYONE 

[Captioner] 19:56:13
WOULD HAVE A $2,000 FEE?

[Captioner] 19:56:15
>> POTENTIALLY AT THE END OF THE 

[Captioner] 19:56:17
DAY, IF THEY FELT THEY DIDN'T 

[Captioner] 19:56:18
AGREE OR FELT THEY DIDN'T AGREE 

[Captioner] 19:56:20
WITH THE DETERMINATION RELATED 

[Captioner] 19:56:21
TO THE VIOLATION, THEY WOULD 

[Captioner] 19:56:23
HAVE TO APPEAL AND PAY THAT FEE, 

[Captioner] 19:56:23
CORRECT.

[Captioner] 19:56:24
>> Councilmember Keng: I SEE.

[Captioner] 19:56:26
YEAH, IT DOES SEEM A LITTLE HIGH 

[Captioner] 19:56:29
TO ME IF IT ALSO APPLYING TO 

[Captioner] 19:56:29
SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES.

[Captioner] 19:56:30
THANK YOU.

[Captioner] 19:56:34
>> Mayor Mei: THANK YOU.

[Captioner] 19:56:35
COUNCILMEMBER SHAO.

[Captioner] 19:56:39
>> Councilmember Shao: THANK 

[Captioner] 19:56:39
YOU, MADAME MAYOR.

[Captioner] 19:56:40
I HAVE TWO QUESTIONS.

[Captioner] 19:56:44
FIRST QUESTION IS

[Captioner] 19:56:47
 THAT THIS $2,000 FEE IS 

[Captioner] 19:56:51
ACTUALLY COST-BASED BUT NOT A 

[Captioner] 19:56:53
DETERRENT FOR ANY POTENTIAL 

[Captioner] 19:56:53
APPEAL.

[Captioner] 19:56:57
YOUR GOAL IS TO ENCOURAGE 

[Captioner] 19:56:59
COLLABORATION AND VOLUNTARY 

[Captioner] 19:57:00
COMPLIANCE, IS THAT CORRECT?

[Captioner] 19:57:01
>> YES, THAT'S CORRECT.

[Captioner] 19:57:04
OUR GOAL IS ALWAYS VOLUNTARY 

[Captioner] 19:57:05
COMPLIANCE IN WORKING WITH 

[Captioner] 19:57:06
PEOPLE TO SOLVE ISSUES.

[Captioner] 19:57:08
>> Councilmember Shao: MY SECOND 

[Captioner] 19:57:12
QUESTION IS THEN FOR THE ONGOING

[Captioner] 19:57:15
 APPEAL, OR THE APPEAL THAT HAS 

[Captioner] 19:57:20
ALREADY BEEN SUBMITTED, WOULD

[Captioner] 19:57:23
 THIS URGENCY ORDINANCE BE 

[Captioner] 19:57:24
RETROACTIVE IF WE PASS IT 

[Captioner] 19:57:24
TONIGHT?

[Captioner] 19:57:29
>> WELL, FIRST OF ALL I THINK 

[Captioner] 19:57:33
THE SPEAKERS -- MR. WEED'S 

[Captioner] 19:57:37
APPEAL MOSTLY RELATES TO 

[Captioner] 19:57:38
GRADING, PLANNING AND ZONING.

[Captioner] 19:57:41
THOSE ARE OTHER -- I THINK WE'D 

[Captioner] 19:57:44
TAKE A CLOSER LOOK AT THAT TO 

[Captioner] 19:57:46
SEE IF IT WOULD EVEN GO TO THIS 

[Captioner] 19:57:48
BOARD, AND THEN AS YOU 

[Captioner] 19:57:49
MENTIONED, THE APPEAL WAS 

[Captioner] 19:57:50
SUBMITTED BEFORE THE ADOPTION OF 

[Captioner] 19:57:52
THIS FEE SO I THINK WE COULD 

[Captioner] 19:57:53
TAKE A LOOK AT THAT AS WELL, 

[Captioner] 19:57:55
EVEN IF IT WERE TO BE DIRECTED 

[Captioner] 19:57:58
TO THIS BOARD, I'M NOT SURE IT 

[Captioner] 19:57:59
WOULD -- THEY'D BE REQUIRED TO 

[Captioner] 19:58:00
PAY THIS FEE GIVEN THAT IT WOULD 

[Captioner] 19:58:03
BE ADOPTED POST APPEAL.

[Captioner] 19:58:04
>> Cty. Attny. Alvarado: THE 

[Captioner] 19:58:06
ORDINANCE IS NOT RETROACTIVE BUT 

[Captioner] 19:58:08
IF THE APPEAL HAS NOT BEEN HEARD 

[Captioner] 19:58:10
AND IT CONCERNS A BUILDING 

[Captioner] 19:58:11
VIOLATION IT WOULD BE HEARD BY 

[Captioner] 19:58:14
THIS STATE APPEALS BOARD BECAUSE 

[Captioner] 19:58:17
IT REQUIRES THEM TO -- IF 

[Captioner] 19:58:19
VIOLATION EXISTS ON A PARTICULAR 

[Captioner] 19:58:19
PROPERTY.

[Captioner] 19:58:20
IS

[Captioner] 19:58:20
>> Councilmember Shao: THANK YOU 

[Captioner] 19:58:22
FOR THE CLARIFICATION THAT THIS 

[Captioner] 19:58:23
ORDINANCE IS NOT RETROACTIVE.

[Captioner] 19:58:26
THANK YOU.

[Captioner] 19:58:27
>> Mayor Mei: I ALSO WANTED TO 

[Captioner] 19:58:29
CLARIFY AND FOLLOW ON THAT 

[Captioner] 19:58:30
COMMENT WHICH IS THAT WE'VE HAD 

[Captioner] 19:58:31
MANY TYPES OF ORDINANCES OVER 

[Captioner] 19:58:33
THE PAST AND I THINK THAT WHILE 

[Captioner] 19:58:35
WE ALSO SAY IT NOT RETROACTIVE, 

[Captioner] 19:58:36
I WOULD THINK THAT WE'D DPRAND 

[Captioner] 19:58:37
FATHER ANYTHING THAT'S IN THE 

[Captioner] 19:58:39
HOPPER RIGHT NOW.

[Captioner] 19:58:41
I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY CASES ARE 

[Captioner] 19:58:44
PENDING RIGHT NOW, BUT I CAN'T 

[Captioner] 19:58:48
IMAGINE BESIDES MR. WEETs THAT

[Captioner] 19:58:49
 THERE'S.

[Captioner] 19:58:52
IN FAIRNESS, WHILE IT'S GOING TO 

[Captioner] 19:58:54
BE HEARD, WE DIDN'T INFORM THEM 

[Captioner] 19:58:58
WHEN THEY FILED IT, THAT DOESN'T 

[Captioner] 19:58:59
MAKE SENSE.

[Captioner] 19:59:02
IS THERE ANY REAL 

[Captioner] 19:59:02
LEGALITY-WISE?

[Captioner] 19:59:03
>> Cty. Attny. Alvarado: I THINK 

[Captioner] 19:59:07
IT'S PROBABLY BEST NOT TO -- THE 

[Captioner] 19:59:09
FACT OF THE MATTER IS THAT THIS 

[Captioner] 19:59:10
ORDINANCE IS BEING ADOPTED 

[Captioner] 19:59:12
BECAUSE STATE LAW REQUIRES IT.

[Captioner] 19:59:13
THE CITY DOESN'T HAVE A CHOICE 

[Captioner] 19:59:13
IN THE MATTER.

[Captioner] 19:59:15
THIS IS THE MECHANISM IN WHICH 

[Captioner] 19:59:18
THE STATE HAS SAID WE ARE TO 

[Captioner] 19:59:21
HEAR APPEALS OF BUILDING CODE 

[Captioner] 19:59:21
VIOLATIONS.

[Captioner] 19:59:24
THERE'S GOING TO BE A VARIETY OF 

[Captioner] 19:59:26
CATEGORIES OF FREMONT MUNICIPAL 

[Captioner] 19:59:28
CODE VIOLATIONS THAT ARE NOT 

[Captioner] 19:59:29
BUILDING CODE VIOLATIONS.

[Captioner] 19:59:32
YOUR ZONING LAWS, YOUR GENERAL 

[Captioner] 19:59:34
NUISANCE LAWS, ALL OF THOSE WILL 

[Captioner] 19:59:37
CONTINUE TO BE HEARD BY AN 

[Captioner] 19:59:39
ADMINISTRATIVE HEARING OFFICER 

[Captioner] 19:59:41
AS HAS OCCURRED IN THE PAST AND 

[Captioner] 19:59:43
THOSE APPEALS TO NOT HAVE THE 

[Captioner] 19:59:44
FEE STRUCTURE THAT YOU SEE IN 

[Captioner] 19:59:44
THIS ORDINANCE.

[Captioner] 19:59:48
>> Mayor Mei: OKAY.

[Captioner] 19:59:49
COUNCILMEMBER SALWAN.

[Captioner] 19:59:53
>> Councilmember Salwan: I'D 

[Captioner] 19:59:56
LIKE TO --

[Captioner] 19:59:58
>> Mayor Mei: YOUR MIC IS NOT 

[Captioner] 19:59:58
ON.

[Captioner] 20:00:01
I HAVE ONE OTHER COUNCILMEMBER.

[Captioner] 20:00:02
>> Councilmember Salwan: I'LL 

[Captioner] 20:00:03
MAKE A MOTION UNLESS THERE'S 

[Captioner] 20:00:04
ANOTHER COMMENT?

[Captioner] 20:00:06
>> Mayor Mei: THERE'S ANOTHER 

[Captioner] 20:00:07
COMMENT FROM COUNCILMEMBER 

[Captioner] 20:00:07
KIMBERLIN.

[Captioner] 20:00:08
>> Councilmember Kimberlin: JUST 

[Captioner] 20:00:09
WHAT IS THE REASON FOR THE 

[Captioner] 20:00:09
URGENCY?

[Captioner] 20:00:11
IS TO ADHERE TO LEGISLATION?

[Captioner] 20:00:16
>> Cty. Attny. Alvarado: THANK 

[Captioner] 20:00:18
YOU FOR THAT QUESTION, 

[Captioner] 20:00:18
COUNCILMEMBER KIMBERLIN.

[Captioner] 20:00:22
URGENCY ORDINANCES ARE REQUIRED 

[Captioner] 20:00:22
TO HAVE FINDINGS.

[Captioner] 20:00:24
SO IF THE COUNCIL WERE TO LOOK 

[Captioner] 20:00:27
AT THE FIRST EXHIBIT ON THE 

[Captioner] 20:00:28
FIRST COUPLE OF PAGES OF THE 

[Captioner] 20:00:30
ORDINANCE, IT SETS FORTH THE 

[Captioner] 20:00:31
FACTS THAT SERVE AS THE 

[Captioner] 20:00:31
URGENCY.

[Captioner] 20:00:38
ONE OF THE FACTS IS THAT WE HAVE

[Captioner] 20:00:40
 EXISTING CIRCUMSTANCES THAT MAY 

[Captioner] 20:00:43
WARRANT AN APPEAL, MAY WARRANT 

[Captioner] 20:00:44
THE REQUIREMENT FOR AN APPEAL TO 

[Captioner] 20:00:44
OCCUR.

[Captioner] 20:00:46
WE DON'T HAVE A MECHANISM IN 

[Captioner] 20:00:49
WHICH TO CONDUCT THAT APPEAL 

[Captioner] 20:00:53
UNTIL WE CREATE, ESTABLISH AND 

[Captioner] 20:00:54
STAFF A LOCAL APPEALS BOARD.

[Captioner] 20:00:56
SO IN EFFECT, IF THERE'S AN 

[Captioner] 20:00:57
EXISTING HEALTH AND SAFETY 

[Captioner] 20:01:01
CONCERN THAT ARISES BECAUSE OF A 

[Captioner] 20:01:03
VIOLATION OF A BUILDING CODE, WE 

[Captioner] 20:01:06
HAVE NO ME CAN MISM BY WHICH TO 

[Captioner] 20:01:07
PROPERLY ADJUDICATE THAT CASE 

[Captioner] 20:01:08
THAT COMPLIES WITH STATE LAW.

[Captioner] 20:01:10
SO THAT'S REALLY THE CENTER OF 

[Captioner] 20:01:11
THE URGENCY, IT'S REALLY A 

[Captioner] 20:01:15
HEALTH AND SAFETY CONCERNMENT

[Captioner] 20:01:17
>> Mayor Mei: THANK YOU.

[Captioner] 20:01:18
>> Councilmember Salwan: I'D 

[Captioner] 20:01:20
LIKE TO MOVE THIS FORWARD PER 

[Captioner] 20:01:22
STAFF RECOMMENDATION TO MOVE THE 

[Captioner] 20:01:24
URGENCY ORDINANCE AS WELL AS THE 

[Captioner] 20:01:28
REGULAR ORDINANCE AND

[Captioner] 20:01:31
 THE -- FOR PROJECTS IN THE 

[Captioner] 20:01:33
PIPELINE TO GET SOME DEFERENCE.

[Captioner] 20:01:34
>> Vice Mayor Campbell: I'LL 

[Captioner] 20:01:34
SECOND.

[Captioner] 20:01:35
>> Mayor Mei: OKAY.

[Captioner] 20:01:36
WE HAVE A MOTION.

[Captioner] 20:01:37
DO WE HAVE A SECOND?

[Captioner] 20:01:39
CAMPBELL?

[Captioner] 20:01:40
OKAY.

[Captioner] 20:01:41
>> Cty. Attny. Alvarado: MAY I 

[Captioner] 20:01:42
ASK A CLARIFYING QUESTION?

[Captioner] 20:01:43
>> Mayor Mei: SURE.

[Captioner] 20:01:45
>> Cty. Attny. Alvarado: LET ME 

[Captioner] 20:01:46
FIRST MAKE AN OBSERVATION.

[Captioner] 20:01:48
THE RECOMMENDATION HAS FOUR 

[Captioner] 20:01:51
COMPONENTS INCLUDING --

[Captioner] 20:01:53
>> Councilmember Salwan: ALL 

[Captioner] 20:01:53
FOUR.

[Captioner] 20:01:54
>> Cty. Attny. Alvarado: 

[Captioner] 20:01:54
ACCEPTING THE CEQA FINDINGS?

[Captioner] 20:01:56
>> Councilmember Salwan: YES.

[Captioner] 20:01:56
>> Cty. Attny. Alvarado: 

[Captioner] 20:01:59
SECONDLY, I WANT TO MAKE SURE 

[Captioner] 20:02:00
STAFF CAN CONFORM TO COUNCIL 

[Captioner] 20:02:00
DIRECTION THIS EVENING.

[Captioner] 20:02:04
SO CLARIFICATION WOULD BE WHAT 

[Captioner] 20:02:06
DID YOU MEAN BY DEFERENCE.

[Captioner] 20:02:09
WE CAN HAVE A DISCUSSION ABOUT 

[Captioner] 20:02:09
--

[Captioner] 20:02:10
>> Councilmember Salwan: MEANING 

[Captioner] 20:02:11
IF THERE'S ANY PROJECTS 

[Captioner] 20:02:13
CURRENTLY UNDER APPEAL THAT 

[Captioner] 20:02:16
DON'T -- THESE FEES DON'T APPLY 

[Captioner] 20:02:20
THAT WE CONTINUE TO -- UNTIL 

[Captioner] 20:02:21
THOSE PEELS ARE EXHAUSTED.

[Captioner] 20:02:25
 APPEALS ARE EXHAUSTED.

[Captioner] 20:02:26
>> Cty. Attny. Alvarado: I DON'T 

[Captioner] 20:02:28
THINK WE HAVE ANY ENDING 

[Captioner] 20:02:32
BUILDING CODE APPEALS, DO WE, 

[Captioner] 20:02:32
PENDING

[Captioner] 20:02:35
>> JUST MR. WEED, I THINK WE 

[Captioner] 20:02:38
NEED TO TAKE A LOOK AND SEE 

[Captioner] 20:02:39
WHICH SPECIFIC BOARD IT GOES TO, 

[Captioner] 20:02:42
BUT GENERALLY RELATING TO 

[Captioner] 20:02:44
PLANNING, GRADING, ZONING 

[Captioner] 20:02:46
ORDINANCES RATHER THAN BUILDING 

[Captioner] 20:02:48
CODE BUT I'D LIKE TO TAKE A LOOK 

[Captioner] 20:02:50
AT THE REVIEW TO SEE WHAT 

[Captioner] 20:02:51
SECTIONS WERE CITED.

[Captioner] 20:02:52
>> Cty. Attny. Alvarado: WE 

[Captioner] 20:02:55
HAVEN'T ESTABLISHED THE BOARD 

[Captioner] 20:02:58
YET, THE FEE ISN'T IMPLEMENTED 

[Captioner] 20:03:00
SO IT WON'T HAVE ANY RETRO 

[Captioner] 20:03:00
EFFECT.

[Captioner] 20:03:04
IT BASICALLY

[Captioner] 20:03:07
 FOR AN -- APPEALS BEFORE THE 

[Captioner] 20:03:07
APPEALS BOARD ITSELF.

[Captioner] 20:03:10
IT WOULD NOT APPLY TO APPEALS 

[Captioner] 20:03:14
THAT WILL NOT GO TO THE LOCAL 

[Captioner] 20:03:16
APPEAL BOARD, ONES THAT GO TO A 

[Captioner] 20:03:16
HEARING OFFICER.

[Captioner] 20:03:17
>> Councilmember Salwan: I GUESS 

[Captioner] 20:03:19
IF YOU'RE ELIGIBLE TO APPEAL AND 

[Captioner] 20:03:20
YOU HAVE A CERTAIN WINDOW --

[Captioner] 20:03:22
>> MADAME MAYOR, I'M SORRY TO 

[Captioner] 20:03:22
INTERRUPT.

[Captioner] 20:03:24
OUR COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT 

[Captioner] 20:03:26
DIRECTOR JUST POINTED OUT IN THE 

[Captioner] 20:03:27
DRAFT RESOLUTION IN YOUR PACKET, 

[Captioner] 20:03:29
IT DOES STATE AT THE END THAT 

[Captioner] 20:03:31
THE FEE WOULD NOT BE EFFECTIVE 

[Captioner] 20:03:33
UNTIL NOVEMBER 18TH OF 2024.

[Captioner] 20:03:35
I JUST WANTED TO OFFER THAT FOR 

[Captioner] 20:03:37
THE DISCUSSION.

[Captioner] 20:03:39
>> Mayor Mei: SO I ENCOURAGE 

[Captioner] 20:03:40
PEOPLE WHO HAVE IT IN THE HOPPER 

[Captioner] 20:03:42
TO GET THINGS PRESENTED BEFORE 

[Captioner] 20:03:42
NOVEMBER.

[Captioner] 20:03:44
2024.

[Captioner] 20:03:45
>> Councilmember Salwan: SO 

[Captioner] 20:03:46
WE'RE GOOD ON THE MOTION THEN.

[Captioner] 20:03:47
I'LL MOVE THAT PORTION.

[Captioner] 20:03:48
>> Cty. Attny. Alvarado: IT'S 

[Captioner] 20:03:49
YOUR MOTION.

[Captioner] 20:03:51
>> Mayor Mei: IT'S YOUR 

[Captioner] 20:03:51
DECISION.

[Captioner] 20:03:52

[Captioner] 20:03:53
LET US KNOW --

[Captioner] 20:03:54

[Captioner] 20:03:54
STAFF RECOMMENDATION.

[Captioner] 20:04:00

 MS. CAMPBELL, VICE MAYOR 

[Captioner] 20:04:03

[Captioner] 20:04:25
WE JUST HAVE ONE REGISTERED SO 

[Captioner] 20:04:26
FAR.

[Captioner] 20:04:27
>> Mayor Mei: I THINK IT CLEARED 

[Captioner] 20:04:27
OUT.

[Captioner] 20:04:29
SOMEHOW I PUSHED IT AND IT 

[Captioner] 20:04:29
CLEARED THE WHOLE SCREEN.

[Captioner] 20:04:29
GREAT.

[Captioner] 20:04:30
THANK YOU.

[Captioner] 20:04:31
THE ITEM PASSES UNANIMOUSLY.

[Captioner] 20:04:32
THANK YOU.

[Captioner] 20:04:38
NEXT ON OUR AGENDA THIS EVENING 

[Captioner] 20:04:41
IS ITEM 6A AS IN APPLE, AND 

[Captioner] 20:04:43
THAT'S FOR AGE-FRIENDLY FREMONT 

[Captioner] 20:04:43
ACTION PLAN.

[Captioner] 20:04:47
AND THIS IS FOR 2025 TO 2030.

[Captioner] 20:04:50
AND OUR HUMAN SERVICES 

[Captioner] 20:04:52
DEPARTMENT, FAMILY SERVICES 

[Captioner] 20:04:56
ADMINISTRATOR KAREN GRIMSICH AND 

[Captioner] 20:05:06
 LEVON GIBSON -- I THINK IT 

[Captioner] 20:05:09
WOULD BE HELPFUL TO HAVE A STAFF 

[Captioner] 20:05:10
PRESENTATION, AND AS 

[Captioner] 20:05:14
COUNCILMEMBER SALWAN SAYS, 

[Captioner] 20:05:14
POSTHASTE, I GUESS.

[Captioner] 20:05:16
BUT I FEEL LIKE IT'S SOMETHING 

[Captioner] 20:05:17
IMPORTANT TO SHARE WITH THE PUBLIC.

[Captioner] 20:05:21
AND THANK YOU AGAIN FOR THE 

[Captioner] 20:05:23
WONDERFUL EVENT LAST WEEK, THIS 

[Captioner] 20:05:26
PAST WEEK END FOR OUR FIRST 

[Captioner] 20:05:28
FUNDRAISER FOR THE AGE WELL 

[Captioner] 20:05:28
CENTER.

[Captioner] 20:05:33
MY APOLOGIES, THE MIC?

[Captioner] 20:05:34
>> SORRY, THANK YOU.

[Captioner] 20:05:37
GOOD EVENING, MAYOR MEI, 

[Captioner] 20:05:38
COUNCILMEMBERS AND MEMBERS OF 

[Captioner] 20:05:38
THE AUDIENCE.

[Captioner] 20:05:41
I'M ADMINISTRATOR FOR THE HUMAN 

[Captioner] 20:05:42
SERVICES AGING AND FAMILY 

[Captioner] 20:05:43
SERVICES DIVISION, KAREN 

[Captioner] 20:05:45
GRIMSICH, AND LEVON GIBSON IS 

[Captioner] 20:05:47
INCOMING AS THE AFS 

[Captioner] 20:05:47
ADMINISTRATOR.

[Captioner] 20:05:48
WE'RE IN TRANSITION RIGHT NOW.

[Captioner] 20:05:53
AFTER JOINING THE AGE-FRIENDLY 

[Captioner] 20:05:54
NETWORK, THE CITY COUNCIL 

[Captioner] 20:05:56
ADOPTED THE CITY'S FIRST 

[Captioner] 20:05:57
AGE-FRIENDLY ACTION PLAN FIVE 

[Captioner] 20:06:01
YEARS AGO SO TONIGHT I'D LIKE TO 

[Captioner] 20:06:04
GET AN UPDATE.

[Captioner] 20:06:05
SO FIRST I'M SURE YOU KNOW THIS 

[Captioner] 20:06:06
BUT IT'S VERY IMPORTANT TO NOTE 

[Captioner] 20:06:08
THAT FREMONT'S POPULATION IS 

[Captioner] 20:06:08
AGING.

[Captioner] 20:06:13
SO BETWEEN THE 2010 CENSUS AND 

[Captioner] 20:06:14
2022, FREMONT'S DEMOGRAPHIC 

[Captioner] 20:06:16
CHANGE IS SHOWN ON THESE TWO 

[Captioner] 20:06:16
GRAPHS, OKAY?

[Captioner] 20:06:19
THE FIRST GRAPH ON THE LEFT 

[Captioner] 20:06:21
SHOWS THE NET NUMBER OF 

[Captioner] 20:06:22
RESIDENTS THAT CHANGE DURING 

[Captioner] 20:06:23
THAT PERIOD.

[Captioner] 20:06:26
YOU WILL SEE WE ADDED 7,545 

[Captioner] 20:06:28
RESIDENTS OVER THE AGE OF 65 AND 

[Captioner] 20:06:30
THE TOTAL NUMBERS OF SENIORS IN 

[Captioner] 20:06:31
OUR CITY IS A LITTLE OVER 

[Captioner] 20:06:31
30,000.

[Captioner] 20:06:34
IT'S INTERESTING TO NOTE THAT WE 

[Captioner] 20:06:36
DROPPED IN A NUMBER OF YOUNG 

[Captioner] 20:06:38
CHILDREN AND YOUNG ADULTS.

[Captioner] 20:06:41
THE SECOND GRAPH REPRESENT THE 

[Captioner] 20:06:42
CHANGE IN PERCENTAGE OF THE 

[Captioner] 20:06:44
TOTAL POPULATION IN THE SAME 

[Captioner] 20:06:45
TIME PERIOD, AND HERE YOU CAN 

[Captioner] 20:06:49
SEE THAT THE 85-YEAR-OLDS AN 

[Captioner] 20:06:50
OVER AS A PERCENTAGE OF OUR 

[Captioner] 20:06:52
POPULATION GREW BY ALMOST 70%.

[Captioner] 20:06:54
NEXT SLIDE.

[Captioner] 20:06:56
THESE TWO MAPS GIVE YOU AN IDEA 

[Captioner] 20:06:59
WHERE OLDER ADULTS LIVE IN OUR 

[Captioner] 20:06:59
CITY.

[Captioner] 20:07:01
THEY SHOW THE PERCENTAGE OF THE 

[Captioner] 20:07:04
CENSUS TRACT POPULATION AND THE 

[Captioner] 20:07:06
DARKER COLOR SHOWING THE HIGHER 

[Captioner] 20:07:06
CONCENTRATION.

[Captioner] 20:07:08
SO ON THE LEFT YOU SEE THE 

[Captioner] 20:07:12
CONCENTRATION OF WHERE PEOPLE 

[Captioner] 20:07:17
OVER 55 LIVE, SO THE CITY HAS 

[Captioner] 20:07:18
VERY -- WITH A HIGH 

[Captioner] 20:07:19
CONCENTRATION OF OUR OLDEST 

[Captioner] 20:07:19
RESIDENTS.

[Captioner] 20:07:21
NEXT SLIDE.

[Captioner] 20:07:27
SO THE AGE FRIENDLY EFFORT WAS 

[Captioner] 20:07:29
STARTED BY THE WORLD HEALTH 

[Captioner] 20:07:31
ORGANIZATION AND AARP AND 

[Captioner] 20:07:33
THERE'S CURRENTLY 1500 CITIES IN 

[Captioner] 20:07:34
51 DIFFERENT COUNTRIES THAT HAVE 

[Captioner] 20:07:35
DEVELOPED A SIMILAR PLAN.

[Captioner] 20:07:39
THE CITY JOINED IN 2017 AND 

[Captioner] 20:07:40
AFTER AN EXTENSIVE COMMUNITY 

[Captioner] 20:07:43
NEEDS ASSESSMENT, THE AGE 

[Captioner] 20:07:45
FRIENDLY POLICY PLATFORM WAS 

[Captioner] 20:07:45
ADOPTED IN 2019.

[Captioner] 20:07:49
OUR FIRST PLAN WAS FOR 2020 TO 

[Captioner] 20:07:51
2025, AND COVERED THE NINE 

[Captioner] 20:07:51
ACTION STEPS THAT ARE LISTED ON 

[Captioner] 20:07:52
THE SIDE.

[Captioner] 20:07:55
THESE ARE DOMAIN AREAS THAT 

[Captioner] 20:07:57
INCLUDE HEALTH AND WELLNESS, 

[Captioner] 20:07:58
HOUSING, OUTDOOR SPACES, 

[Captioner] 20:08:01
COMMUNITY INFORMATION, CIVIC 

[Captioner] 20:08:04
ENGAGEMENT, EMPLOYMENT, SOCIAL 

[Captioner] 20:08:06
PARTICIPATION, TRANSPORTATION, 

[Captioner] 20:08:07
AND DEMENTIA-RELATED SUPPORT.

[Captioner] 20:08:10
NEXT SLIDE.

[Captioner] 20:08:11
IN ORDER TO UNDERSTAND THE 

[Captioner] 20:08:13
CURRENT STATE AND THE NEEDS OF 

[Captioner] 20:08:14
OUR OLDER ADULTS AND TO UPDATE 

[Captioner] 20:08:16
OUR ACTION PLAN, HUMAN SERVICES 

[Captioner] 20:08:19
STAFF HAVE CONDUCTED 16 FOCUS 

[Captioner] 20:08:20
GROUPS IN SEVEN DIFFERENT 

[Captioner] 20:08:22
LANGUAGES, COLLECTED LOCAL 

[Captioner] 20:08:23
SURVEY RESPONSES AND HAD 

[Captioner] 20:08:25
CONVERSATIONS WITH OTHER CITY 

[Captioner] 20:08:27
DEPARTMENTS TO UNDERSTAND THE 

[Captioner] 20:08:27
IMPACT OF THE CITY'S CHANGING 

[Captioner] 20:08:27
DEMOGRAPHICS.

[Captioner] 20:08:34
OVERALL I'M VERY HAPPY TO SAY 

[Captioner] 20:08:35
THAT OLDER ADULTS FEEL FREMONT 

[Captioner] 20:08:36
IS A GOOD PLACE TO AGE.

[Captioner] 20:08:39
ALTHOUGH WE DID HEAR THAT DURING 

[Captioner] 20:08:42
THE PANDEMIC, RESIDENTS MISSED 

[Captioner] 20:08:43
SEEING THEIR FAMILIES AND 

[Captioner] 20:08:44
ENGAGING IN COMMUNITY EVENTS.

[Captioner] 20:08:46
THEY FELT QUITE ISOLATED.

[Captioner] 20:08:48
THE FULL REPORT GOES IN MORE 

[Captioner] 20:08:51
DEPTH OF ALL THE CONCERNS, BUT 

[Captioner] 20:08:52
HERE YOU'LL SEE THE TOP THREE.

[Captioner] 20:08:54
SO THE TOP THREE CONCERNS THAT 

[Captioner] 20:08:56
CAME OUT OF THE SURVEYS WERE:  

[Captioner] 20:08:58
BEING INCLUDED IN DECISIONS THAT 

[Captioner] 20:09:00
AFFECT THEIR LIFE, FALLING OR 

[Captioner] 20:09:03
BEING AT RISK OF A FALL, AND THE 

[Captioner] 20:09:04
ABILITY TO MAINTAIN THEIR HOME.

[Captioner] 20:09:08
WE ALSO HEARD THAT OLDER ADULTS 

[Captioner] 20:09:09
WANT TO BE VAL YOU AD FOR WHAT 

[Captioner] 20:09:10
THEY CAN CONTRIBUTE TO OUR CITY 

[Captioner] 20:09:12
AND THEY FEEL MOST CONNECTED TO 

[Captioner] 20:09:13
THEIR NEIGHBORHOODS.

[Captioner] 20:09:18
THEY ASPIRE TO A LONG, HEALTHY 

[Captioner] 20:09:20
LIFESPAN AND ARE INTERESTED IN 

[Captioner] 20:09:21
LEARNING MORE ABOUT TECHNOLOGY.

[Captioner] 20:09:27
SO THIS IS AN EXAMPLE OF HOW THE 

[Captioner] 20:09:27
PLAN IS LAID OUT.

[Captioner] 20:09:29
AS I MENTIONED THERE'S THE NINE 

[Captioner] 20:09:32
DOMAINS, EACH DOMAIN HAS A 

[Captioner] 20:09:33
SPREAD LIKE THIS.

[Captioner] 20:09:39
THE -- AND PROPOSED ACTION STEPS 

[Captioner] 20:09:40
FOR SHORT TERM ONE TO TWO YEARS 

[Captioner] 20:09:43
AND FOR FIVE-YEAR TERMS FOR THIS 

[Captioner] 20:09:43
ACTION PLAN.

[Captioner] 20:09:47
SO I'M ALSO EXCITED THIS YEAR, 

[Captioner] 20:09:49
THIS FIVE-YEAR PLAN, THERE'S A 

[Captioner] 20:09:51
LOT OF CROSS DEPARTMENTAL ACTION 

[Captioner] 20:09:52
STEPS AND THAT CAME OUT OF OUR 

[Captioner] 20:09:52
DISCUSSIONS.

[Captioner] 20:09:54
FOR EXAMPLE, THERE'S MULTIPLE 

[Captioner] 20:09:55
DEPARTMENTS IN THE CITY THAT ARE 

[Captioner] 20:09:57
INTERESTED IN WORKING TOGETHER 

[Captioner] 20:10:00
TO PREPARE OLDER ADULTS FOR 

[Captioner] 20:10:01
EMERGENCIES, TO ASSIST OLDER 

[Captioner] 20:10:02
ADULTS IN CONNECTING TO 

[Captioner] 20:10:07
SERVICES, AND TO CREATING

[Captioner] 20:10:12
 AGE -- THIS IS ANOTHER EXAMPLE 

[Captioner] 20:10:14
OF A DOMAIN LAYOUT, THIS IS FOR 

[Captioner] 20:10:14
HOUSING.

[Captioner] 20:10:15
AGAIN, ALL THE CITY DEPARTMENTS 

[Captioner] 20:10:17
ARE INTERESTED IN KEEPING -- 

[Captioner] 20:10:18
SUPPORTING OLDER ADULTS TO STAY 

[Captioner] 20:10:20
IN THEIR HOMES TO BE SAFE, TO BE 

[Captioner] 20:10:21
WELL CONNECTED TO SERVICES.

[Captioner] 20:10:26
WHETHER THAT'S A 911 CALL

[Captioner] 20:10:28
 THAT LEADS TO A WARM HANDOFF TO 

[Captioner] 20:10:30
A SOCIAL WORKER OR MAINTAINING 

[Captioner] 20:10:34
SIDEWALKS IN AREAS WHERE

[Captioner] 20:10:36
 SUPER -- TO HAVE MORE 

[Captioner] 20:10:37
INFORMATION EASILY AVAILABLE FOR 

[Captioner] 20:10:39
OLDER ADULTS, SOMETHING THAT WAS 

[Captioner] 20:10:41
REQUESTED OFTEN DURING OUR FOCUS 

[Captioner] 20:10:41
IMREUPS.

[Captioner] 20:10:44
 GROUPS.

[Captioner] 20:10:45
AND LAST SLIDE.

[Captioner] 20:10:47
SO IN CONCLUSION, I JUST WANT TO 

[Captioner] 20:10:50
THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT OF 

[Captioner] 20:10:50
BEING AN AGE FRIENDLY CITY.

[Captioner] 20:10:54
WE WELCOME ANY INPUT INTO THIS 

[Captioner] 20:10:55
PLAN, AND WE'LL CONTINUE TO BE 

[Captioner] 20:10:57
AN AGE-FRIENDLY CITY THAT MEETS 

[Captioner] 20:10:59
THE NEEDS OF OUR GROWING NUMBER 

[Captioner] 20:10:59
OF OLDER ADULTS.

[Captioner] 20:11:00
SO THANK YOU.

[Captioner] 20:11:02
>> Mayor Mei: THANK YOU FOR THIS 

[Captioner] 20:11:02

[Captioner] 20:11:28
NO IMPACT.

[Captioner] 20:11:30
>> Mayor Mei: THANK YOU.

THANK YOU FOR THE GOOD WORK 

[Captioner] 20:12:37

IMPORTANT TO HAVE THE SENIORS BE 

[Captioner] 20:12:41
ABLE TO AGE IN OUR COMMUNITY, 

[Captioner] 20:12:44
AND IT'S REFRESHING THAT SENIORS 

[Captioner] 20:12:46
ARE INCREASING AT LARGER 

[Captioner] 20:12:47
PERCENTAGES, THAT 85-PLUS, WHICH 

[Captioner] 20:12:47
IS AMAZING.

[Captioner] 20:12:51

TO BE AN AGE-FRIENDLY CITY

[Captioner] 20:13:03

[Captioner] 20:14:59

[Captioner] 20:15:00
>> Councilmember Shao: THANK 

[Captioner] 20:15:01
YOU, MADAME MAYOR.

[Captioner] 20:15:03
I HAVE NOTICED THAT THE MAJORITY 

[Captioner] 20:15:08
OF THE CITY COUNCIL IS OVER 55

[Captioner] 20:15:09
 YEARS, SO I WOULD SAY IN TERMS 

[Captioner] 20:15:13
OF REPRESENTATION OF THE 

[Captioner] 20:15:14
SENIORS, THIS COUNCIL IS DOING A 

[Captioner] 20:15:15
GOOD JOB.

[Captioner] 20:15:21
I REALIZE THAT THE CITY OF 

[Captioner] 20:15:23
FREMONT NOT ONLY TALKS THE TALK 

[Captioner] 20:15:26
BUT WALKS THE WALK, IN ADDITION 

[Captioner] 20:15:28
TO THE PLAN THAT WE'RE LOOKING 

[Captioner] 20:15:31
AT, I REALIZE THAT THROUGHOUT 

[Captioner] 20:15:33
THE YEAR, WE HAVE SO MANY 

[Captioner] 20:15:36
EVENTS, INCLUDING THE ONE THAT'S 

[Captioner] 20:15:39
JUST MENTIONED BY VICE MAYOR 

[Captioner] 20:15:41

THERE WAS THIS FUNDRAISING EVENT

[Captioner] 20:15:51
 CONTINUING TO NOT ONLY DRAW 

[Captioner] 20:15:53
ATTENTION TO THE NEEDS OF OUR 

[Captioner] 20:15:55
SENIOR COMMUNITY IN FREMONT 

[Captioner] 20:15:56
COMMUNITY, BUT ALSO TRYING TO

GENERATE FUNDING FOR ALL THE 

[Captioner] 20:16:01
EVENTS OR ACTIONS, WE'RE GOING 

[Captioner] 20:16:03

FREMONT.

[Captioner] 20:16:28
ONE OF THE PROGRAMS THAT I THINK 

[Captioner] 20:16:30
THAT I FIND MOST IMPRESSIVE OVER 

[Captioner] 20:16:32
THE YEARS THAT NOT ALL PEOPLE 

[Captioner] 20:16:34
KNOW THAT WE HAVE IS OUR SENIOR 

[Captioner] 20:16:35

IT'S A GRADUATION THAT I'VE 

[Captioner] 20:16:38
REALLY ENJOYED OVER THE YEARS, 

[Captioner] 20:16:42
THAT WE HAVE SUCH A DIVERSITY OF 

[Captioner] 20:16:43
HERITAGE, CULTURE AND FAITHS 

[Captioner] 20:16:44

[Captioner] 20:16:46
PEOPLE WHO CAN UNDERSTAND AND 

[Captioner] 20:16:47
BRING THEIR LIFE EXPERIENCES TO 

[Captioner] 20:16:50
BE ABLE TO BETTER PROVIDE AND

[Captioner] 20:17:41

[Captioner] 20:17:46
REDISTRICTING AND OTHER AREAS, 

[Captioner] 20:17:49

[Captioner] 20:18:18
CAN BE ABLE TO PROVIDE 

[Captioner] 20:18:18

[Captioner] 20:18:24

[Captioner] 20:18:25

[Captioner] 20:18:35

GRADUATIONS ALREADY, SO I WANT 

[Captioner] 20:18:47

[Captioner] 20:18:48

[Captioner] 20:18:49
AND I THINK JUST TO LET YOU KNOW 

[Captioner] 20:18:51
FROM THE FEAD BACK I GOT FROM 

[Captioner] 20:18:53
THE AUDIENCE LAST WEEK, THE 

[Captioner] 20:18:55
CASINO NIGHT WHICH WAS NOT 

[Captioner] 20:18:57
CAMPBELLING FOR MONEY, IT'S 

[Captioner] 20:18:58
FUNDRAISING FOR THE SENIOR AGE 

[Captioner] 20:18:59
WELL CENTER DOWN IN SOUTH 

[Captioner] 20:19:01
FREMONT WAS A BIG HIT, AND SO 

[Captioner] 20:19:03
THEY REALLY ENJOYED COMING OUT 

[Captioner] 20:19:05
SO I HOPE IT'S THE FIRST OF MANY.

[Captioner] 20:19:08
I'D LOVE TO EAT, LIKE THE CRAB 

[Captioner] 20:19:11
FEED, BUT I LOVE TO DO FUN, SO 

[Captioner] 20:19:14
THERE'S WAYS WE CAN DO -- SO 

[Captioner] 20:19:16
WITH THAT, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR 

[Captioner] 20:19:16
THIS REPORT.

[Captioner] 20:19:19
>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

[Captioner] 20:19:19
THANK YOU.

[Captioner] 20:19:28
>> Mayor Mei: NEXT IS ITEM 6B, 

[Captioner] 20:19:29
AND THAT IS HOMELESSNESS 

[Captioner] 20:19:32
REGULATION AND ENFORCEMENT IN 

[Captioner] 20:19:36
CONJUNCTION WITH THE U.S. 

[Captioner] 20:19:36
COURT'S GRANTS PASS DECISION.

[Captioner] 20:19:39
WE WILL HAVE DEPUTY CITY MANAGER 

[Captioner] 20:19:42
ALLEN DEMEARS AND POLICE CHIEF 

[Captioner] 20:19:43
SEAN WASHINGTON ARE AVAILABLE 

[Captioner] 20:19:46
FOR QUESTIONS AND ALSO FOR STAFF 

[Captioner] 20:19:47
PRESENTATION, ALONG WITH POLICE 

[Captioner] 20:19:52
SERGEANT

[Captioner] 20:19:57
 MANDY SINGH AND ALSO LAURIE

[Captioner] 20:20:03
 -- MANY PEOPLE HAVE BEEN

[Captioner] 20:20:05
 ASKING ABOUT, I'D ASK WE ADD 

[Captioner] 20:20:07
THIS AS AN AGENDA ITEM, BUT I 

[Captioner] 20:20:09
ALSO WANTED TO MAKE SURE MY 

[Captioner] 20:20:11
COUNCIL COULD ALSO CHIME IN 

[Captioner] 20:20:13
BECAUSE SOME CITIES ARE TAKING 

[Captioner] 20:20:14
ORDINANCE DECISIONS AT THIS 

[Captioner] 20:20:14
TIME.

[Captioner] 20:20:16
SO THIS IS INFORMATIONAL 

[Captioner] 20:20:17
TONIGHT, BUT I WANTED TO LET 

[Captioner] 20:20:18
PEOPLE KNOW THAT THERE ARE 

[Captioner] 20:20:20
CITIES THAT ARE MAKING 

[Captioner] 20:20:21
ORDINANCES AND HOW DO WE BALANCE 

[Captioner] 20:20:25
THE NEED FOR SAFETY, FOR 

[Captioner] 20:20:27
CLEANLINESS, FOR HYGIENE, WE HAD 

[Captioner] 20:20:28
CODE ENFORCEMENT WITH US WITH 

[Captioner] 20:20:29
THE COMPASSION THAT WE'RE KNOWN 

[Captioner] 20:20:31
FOR IN TERMS OF DELIVERING 

[Captioner] 20:20:31
SERVICE AND CARE.

[Captioner] 20:20:35
SO IT'S A FINE ACT IN TERMS OF

[Captioner] 20:20:36
 BALANCING ONE, BUT WE WANTED TO 

[Captioner] 20:20:39
BE ABLE TO REVIEW ALL OF IT 

[Captioner] 20:20:40
TONIGHT.

[Captioner] 20:20:41
SO THANK YOU FOR ADDING THIS 

[Captioner] 20:20:42
AGENDA ITEM.

[Captioner] 20:20:43
>> THANK YOU, MAYOR MEI AND CITY 

[Captioner] 20:20:43
COUNCIL.

[Captioner] 20:20:46
MY NAME IS ALLEN DEMERS, I'M A 

[Captioner] 20:20:46
DEPUTY CITY MANAGER.

[Captioner] 20:20:49
TO MY LEFT IS SEAN WASHINGTON, 

[Captioner] 20:20:51
THE POLICE CHIEF AND TO MY RIGHT 

[Captioner] 20:20:56
IS LAURIE

[Captioner] 20:20:56
 FLORES.

[Captioner] 20:21:00
THIS ITEM IS RESPONSIVE TO 

[Captioner] 20:21:01
INQUIRIES FROM THE MAYOR AND THE 

[Captioner] 20:21:03
COUNCIL REGARDING ACTIONS THAT 

[Captioner] 20:21:05
STAFF IS CONTEMPLATING AS A 

[Captioner] 20:21:07
RESULT OF THE GRANTS PASSED 

[Captioner] 20:21:07
DECISION.

[Captioner] 20:21:11
GIST TO GROUND US A BIT, THE 

[Captioner] 20:21:13
GRANTS PASS PRIOR TO THE RECENT 

[Captioner] 20:21:14
U.S. SUPREME COURT DECISION ON 

[Captioner] 20:21:16
GRANTS PASS.

[Captioner] 20:21:21
THE GENERAL RULE WAS THAT CITIES 

[Captioner] 20:21:25
WERE PROHIBITED FROM DISPLACING 

[Captioner] 20:21:27
A HOMELESS ENCAMPMENT IN THE 

[Captioner] 20:21:30
ABSENCE OF ALTERNATIVE SHELTER, 

[Captioner] 20:21:32
TO OFFER THOSE INDIVIDUALS THAT 

[Captioner] 20:21:33
WERE BEING DISPLACED.

[Captioner] 20:21:34
THERE ARE OBVIOUSLY LOTS OF 

[Captioner] 20:21:36
RULES AND EXCEPTIONS TO THAT, 

[Captioner] 20:21:39
EVEN PRIOR TO THE GRANTS PASS 

[Captioner] 20:21:41
RULES, BUT THAT RULING IN 

[Captioner] 20:21:45
PARTICULAR HAS INDEED

[Captioner] 20:21:49
 NEEDED LEGAL AND HAS MADE THE 

[Captioner] 20:21:50
CITY LESS LIABLE FOR ACTIONS 

[Captioner] 20:21:53
THAT IT TAKES WHEN IT INTERVENES 

[Captioner] 20:21:56
TO DISPLACE AN ENCAMPMENT EVEN 

[Captioner] 20:21:57
IN CIRCUMSTANCES IN WHICH IT 

[Captioner] 20:22:00
DOES NOT HAVE ALTERNATE SHELTER 

[Captioner] 20:22:00
TO OFFER.

[Captioner] 20:22:04
TONIGHT'S PRESENTATION IS VERY 

[Captioner] 20:22:06
BRIEF AND REALLY FOCUSES ON THE 

[Captioner] 20:22:08
THREE ELEMENTS OF CODE REVISION 

[Captioner] 20:22:10
THAT STAFF IS CONSIDERING AS A 

[Captioner] 20:22:13
RESULT OF THE GRANTS PASS 

[Captioner] 20:22:14
DECISION BUT I DID WANT TO NOTE 

[Captioner] 20:22:15
JUST A COUPLE MORE THINGS BEFORE 

[Captioner] 20:22:17
I GET INTO THAT.

[Captioner] 20:22:24
ONE IS

[Captioner] 20:22:25
 THAT AS THE COUNCIL KNOWS, THE 

[Captioner] 20:22:28
CITY ADOPTED ITS FIRST LONG TERM 

[Captioner] 20:22:31
STRATEGIC HOMELESS RESPONSE PLAN 

[Captioner] 20:22:32
EARLIER THIS YEAR.

[Captioner] 20:22:34
GENERALLY SPEAKING, ANY OF THE 

[Captioner] 20:22:37
ITEMS THAT ARE CONTEMPLATED 

[Captioner] 20:22:40
TONIGHT FOR FUTURE COUNCIL 

[Captioner] 20:22:41
ACTION ARE GENERALLY INDEPENDENT 

[Captioner] 20:22:45
OF THE HOMELESS RESPONSE PLAN'S 

[Captioner] 20:22:46
LONG TERM STRATEGY.

[Captioner] 20:22:49
SO THE LONG TERM STRATEGY 

[Captioner] 20:22:50
DISCUSSES SERVICES AND 

[Captioner] 20:22:51
INTERVENTION AND PREVENTION, ALL 

[Captioner] 20:22:53
OF WHICH THE CITY WILL STILL 

[Captioner] 20:22:57
INTEND TO DO IRRESPECTIVE OF THE 

[Captioner] 20:22:58
ENFORCEMENT ELEMENT DISCUSSED 

[Captioner] 20:22:58
HERE.

[Captioner] 20:23:04
AND I ALSO WANTED TO NOTE THAT 

[Captioner] 20:23:08
BOTH PRE AND POST GRANTS PASS, 

[Captioner] 20:23:10
THE CITY'S ENFORCEMENT AND 

[Captioner] 20:23:11
SERVICE PROVISION PROFESSIONALS 

[Captioner] 20:23:15
ARE DOING AN EXCEPTION EPTIONAL 

[Captioner] 20:23:17
AMOUNT AND AN EXCEPTIONAL 

[Captioner] 20:23:18
QUALITY OF WORK ACROSS OUR 

[Captioner] 20:23:18
CITY.

[Captioner] 20:23:20
I NOTE SOME OF THOSE STATISTICS 

[Captioner] 20:23:21
IN THE STAFF REPORT BEFORE YOU 

[Captioner] 20:23:23
SO I WON'T GO OVER THEM AGAIN, 

[Captioner] 20:23:26
BUT STAFF IS BEING ACTIVE AND 

[Captioner] 20:23:28
THOUGHTFUL IN ITS INTERVENTION 

[Captioner] 20:23:30
IN HOMELESSNESS ACROSS THE CITY 

[Captioner] 20:23:32
OF FREMONT, IRRESPECTIVE OF ANY 

[Captioner] 20:23:33
POTENTIAL CODE REVISIONS.

[Captioner] 20:23:36
AND WITH THAT SAID, I'M GOING TO 

[Captioner] 20:23:39
TALK A LITTLE ABOUT THE CODE 

[Captioner] 20:23:40
REVISIONS WE DO PLAN TO RETURN 

[Captioner] 20:23:41
TO PRESENT TO COUNCIL AT A 

[Captioner] 20:23:42
FUTURE MEETING.

[Captioner] 20:23:49
AS I NOTED THE GRANTS PASS 

[Captioner] 20:23:52
DECISION IS WHAT MAKES THIS -- 

[Captioner] 20:23:55
THESE POTENTIAL CODE REVISIONS 

[Captioner] 20:23:55
FEASIBLE.

[Captioner] 20:24:00
THE CODE REVISIONS THAT WE ARE 

[Captioner] 20:24:02
WORKING ON AND THAT WE WILL 

[Captioner] 20:24:04
RETURN TO COUNCIL TO PRESENT AT 

[Captioner] 20:24:07
A FUTURE MEETING INCLUDE 

[Captioner] 20:24:10
ENHANCING ENFORCEMENT AND 

[Captioner] 20:24:12
SPECIFICITY OF THE CITY'S 

[Captioner] 20:24:13
72-HOUR PARKING RULES.

[Captioner] 20:24:17
POTENTIAL RESIDENTIAL BAN ON 

[Captioner] 20:24:19
OVERSIZED VEHICLE PARKING WHICH 

[Captioner] 20:24:23
WOULD INCLUDE RVs, AND A

[Captioner] 20:24:25
 CITYWIDE CAMPING BAN ON ALL 

[Captioner] 20:24:26
PUBLIC PROPERTY.

[Captioner] 20:24:27
NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE.

[Captioner] 20:24:33
THE 72-HOUR PARKING MUNICIPAL 

[Captioner] 20:24:35
CODE REVISION IS PROBABLY THE 

[Captioner] 20:24:36
SIMPLEST POTENTIAL CODE REVISION 

[Captioner] 20:24:37
THAT WE WOULD CONSIDER.

[Captioner] 20:24:44
IT CLARIFIES EXISTING FREMONT 

[Captioner] 20:24:45
MUNICIPAL CODE THAT WOULD 

[Captioner] 20:24:46
SPECIFY THE DISTANCE THAT A 

[Captioner] 20:24:48
VEHICLE WOULD HAVE TO MOVE IN 

[Captioner] 20:24:52
ORDER TO NOT BE CITED UNDER OUR 

[Captioner] 20:24:54
MUNICIPAL CODE, SO SOMEONE 

[Captioner] 20:24:56
COULDN'T JUST PULL THEIR CAR 

[Captioner] 20:24:57
FORWARD A FOOT TO COMPLY WITH 

[Captioner] 20:24:57
THE RULE.

[Captioner] 20:25:00
THEY WOULD HAVE TO ACTUALLY HAVE 

[Captioner] 20:25:01
TO MOVE A BROCK OR TWO, AND IT 

[Captioner] 20:25:03
WAS SPECIFY A PERIOD IN WHICH 

[Captioner] 20:25:04
THAT VEHICLE COULD NOT RETURN TO 

[Captioner] 20:25:06
THE SAME SPOT THAT IT HAD BEEN 

[Captioner] 20:25:06
OCCUPYING BEFORE.

[Captioner] 20:25:11
SO 24, 48 HOURS BEFORE A VEHICLE 

[Captioner] 20:25:12
COULD RUSH TO THAT SAME AREA.

[Captioner] 20:25:20
>> Mr. Parungao: THE SECOND AND 

[Captioner] 20:25:22
SLIGHTLY MORE COMPLICATED CODE 

[Captioner] 20:25:24
REVISION THAT STAFF WILL TURN TO 

[Captioner] 20:25:27
PRESENT TO COUNCIL IS THE LARGE 

[Captioner] 20:25:29
VEHICLE BAN IN RESIDENTIAL 

[Captioner] 20:25:29
AREAS.

[Captioner] 20:25:30
IT'S QUITE STRAIGHTFORWARD.

[Captioner] 20:25:32
IT WOULD BAN LARGE VEHICLES FROM 

[Captioner] 20:25:35
PARKING IN RESIDENTIAL AREAS, 

[Captioner] 20:25:40
AND IT WOULD PROVIDE FOR SEVERAL

[Captioner] 20:25:43
 EXCEPTIONS, WHAT I WOULD REGARD 

[Captioner] 20:25:45
TO AS COMMON SENSE EXCEPTIONS 

[Captioner] 20:25:49
RELATED TO PACKAGE DELIVERY, 

[Captioner] 20:25:52
CONSTRUCTION SERVICES THAT A 

[Captioner] 20:25:56
HOUSE MIGHT NEED TO BRING IN, 

[Captioner] 20:25:57
LARGE VEHICLING THAT WOULD BE 

[Captioner] 20:26:00
THERE FOR A LIMITED DURATION OF 

[Captioner] 20:26:03
TIME AND THEN WOULD LEAVE TO 

[Captioner] 20:26:04
SUPPORT A NEIGHBORHOOD 

[Captioner] 20:26:05
FUNCTIONING EFFECTIVELY.

[Captioner] 20:26:17
THE MOST COMPLICATED AND 

[Captioner] 20:26:18
SUBSTANTIAL CODE REVISION THAT 

[Captioner] 20:26:22
STAFF WILL RETURN WITH IS A 

[Captioner] 20:26:24
GENERAL PROHIBITION OF CAMPING 

[Captioner] 20:26:24
ON PUBLIC PROPERTY.

[Captioner] 20:26:28
THAT IS THE KIND OF CODE 

[Captioner] 20:26:30
REVISION THAT I IMAGINE, MAYOR 

[Captioner] 20:26:32
MEI, YOU'RE THINKING OF WHEN 

[Captioner] 20:26:32
YOU'RE LOOKING AT WHAT SOME 

[Captioner] 20:26:33
OTHER CITIES ARE DOING.

[Captioner] 20:26:38
THAT CODE REVISION WOULD 

[Captioner] 20:26:40
PROHIBIT CAMPING AND STORAGE OF 

[Captioner] 20:26:41
PERSONAL PROPERTY ON PUBLIC 

[Captioner] 20:26:42
LAND.

[Captioner] 20:26:45
IT WOULD CREATE EXPLICIT 

[Captioner] 20:26:47
ENFORCEMENT ARE AUTHORITY FOR 

[Captioner] 20:26:48
THE ABATEMENT OF PERSONAL 

[Captioner] 20:26:50
PROPERTY AND IT WOULD AUTHORIZE 

[Captioner] 20:26:51
PROCEDURES FOR OUR STAFF TO 

[Captioner] 20:26:52
IMPLEMENT THAT ABATEMENT.

[Captioner] 20:27:02
SO AS YOU NOTED, THIS IS AN 

[Captioner] 20:27:02
INFORMATIONAL ITEM.

[Captioner] 20:27:05
IT IS INTENDED TO PROVIDE A 

[Captioner] 20:27:07
PREVIEW OF THE MORE SUBSTANTIAL 

[Captioner] 20:27:08
STAFF REPORTS THAT WILL BE 

[Captioner] 20:27:10
PRESENTED TO THE COUNCIL.

[Captioner] 20:27:13
AS I NOTE IN THE STAFF REPORT 

[Captioner] 20:27:18
BEFORE YOU, THERE'S NO EXPENSE 

[Captioner] 20:27:19
TO CONTEMPLATING A CODE 

[Captioner] 20:27:21
PROVISION AND THERE'S NO EVENT 

[Captioner] 20:27:26
TO MAKING A CODE

[Captioner] 20:27:30
 REVISION, THERE IS

[Captioner] 20:27:33
 SUBSTANTIAL EXPENSE TO BRING 

[Captioner] 20:27:35
THOSE FORWARD EFFECTIVELY, SO 

[Captioner] 20:27:37
THOSE, WE'LL HAVE TO CONSIDER 

[Captioner] 20:27:38
WHEN THE CODES RETURN AT A 

[Captioner] 20:27:38
FUTURE MEETING.

[Captioner] 20:27:41
WITH THAT, WE HAVE SOME 

[Captioner] 20:27:42
TECHNICAL STAFF HERE IF THERE'S 

[Captioner] 20:27:45
SPECIFIC QUESTIONS, WITH THE 

[Captioner] 20:27:47
CAVEAT THAT STAFF IS ACTIVELY 

[Captioner] 20:27:50
WORKING ON THESE MUNICIPAL CODE 

[Captioner] 20:27:50
REVISIONS.

[Captioner] 20:27:53
SO THERE'S A LOT OF BLANK SPOTS 

[Captioner] 20:27:54
IN THESE DOCUMENTS AT THIS TIME 

[Captioner] 20:27:56
AS WE TRY TO FIGURE OUT WHAT'S 

[Captioner] 20:27:59
GOING TO WORK THE BEST FOR 

[Captioner] 20:27:59
FREMONT.

[Captioner] 20:28:01
>> Mayor Mei: ARE WE SETTING A 

[Captioner] 20:28:01
CERTAIN TIME FRAME?

[Captioner] 20:28:03
I'LL ASK THE FIRST CLARIFYING 

[Captioner] 20:28:04
QUESTION SINCE YOU'RE TALKING 

[Captioner] 20:28:06
ABOUT RETURNING, AND THEN ARE WE 

[Captioner] 20:28:07
REFERENCING -- THERE'S SO MANY 

[Captioner] 20:28:09
OTHER CITIES THAT ARE ISSUES 

[Captioner] 20:28:09
THEIRS.

[Captioner] 20:28:12
FOR EXAMPLE, I THINK IT WAS 

[Captioner] 20:28:13
RICHMOND OR -- ISSUING THEIRS 

[Captioner] 20:28:16
TOMORROW AND I'VE SEEN ONES IN 

[Captioner] 20:28:17
SAN FRANCISCO, SAN JOSÉ, 

[Captioner] 20:28:19
NEIGHBORING CITIES, MOUNTAIN 

[Captioner] 20:28:20
VIEW AND OTHER SURROUNDING 

[Captioner] 20:28:22
NEIGHBORHOODS, SO THAT'S WHY I 

[Captioner] 20:28:23
WANTED TO MAK SURE THAT WE DON'T 

[Captioner] 20:28:25
HAVE SOMETHING THAT'S OUT IN THE 

[Captioner] 20:28:27
LONG TERM FUTURE BUT I REALIZE 

[Captioner] 20:28:31
THAT WE HAVE TO LOOK AT THE 

[Captioner] 20:28:32
ENCAPSULATING THE BUDGET ASPECT 

[Captioner] 20:28:34
OF IT AND THE REALITY OF WHAT WE 

[Captioner] 20:28:34
CAN ADDRESS.

[Captioner] 20:28:36
THAT'S WHY WHEN WE ARE OUR 

[Captioner] 20:28:37
DISCUSSION, AND I'M GRATEFUL 

[Captioner] 20:28:40
THAT WE WERE ABLE TO MOVE THAT 

[Captioner] 20:28:41
FORWARD WHERE WE HAD THE JOINT 

[Captioner] 20:28:43
MEETING WITH THE SCHOOL BOARD 

[Captioner] 20:28:46
AND CITY COUNCIL WHILE BACK AT 

[Captioner] 20:28:47
THE DISTRICT OFFICE WITH THEN 

[Captioner] 20:28:52
SUPERINTENDENT CAMMACK, NOW

[Captioner] 20:28:54
 I'M HEARING A LOT ABOUT OTHER 

[Captioner] 20:28:55
SCHOOL SITES OR ENCAMPMENTS THAT 

[Captioner] 20:28:57
ARE NEAR THEM BUT IN PARTICULAR 

[Captioner] 20:28:57
THE SCHOOL DISTRICT OFFICE IS 

[Captioner] 20:29:00
ONE OF THE ONES I'VE KNOWN IT 

[Captioner] 20:29:02
AND I'VE NOTED BUT IS THERE ANY 

[Captioner] 20:29:03
SPECIFIC TIME FRAME YOU HAVE FOR 

[Captioner] 20:29:03
ANY OF THESE?

[Captioner] 20:29:06
I KNOW YOU TIERED THEM IN 

[Captioner] 20:29:08
LIKELINESS BUT IS THERE ANY TIME 

[Captioner] 20:29:08
FRAME?

[Captioner] 20:29:10
SINCE I KNOW THIS IS GOING TO BE 

[Captioner] 20:29:11
ONE OF THE QUESTIONS PEOPLE 

[Captioner] 20:29:11
WOULD ASK.

[Captioner] 20:29:23
>> WE CAN LIKELY RETURN WITH THE 

[Captioner] 20:29:26
MOST SIMPLE CODE REVISION, THE 

[Captioner] 20:29:30
72-HOUR PARKING REVISION UPDATE 

[Captioner] 20:29:34
FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION IN 

[Captioner] 20:29:34
OCTOBER.

[Captioner] 20:29:37
THE OTHER ITEMS ARE MORE 

[Captioner] 20:29:37
SUBSTANTIAL.

[Captioner] 20:29:39
I WOULDN'T WANT TO PROMISE A 

[Captioner] 20:29:40
SPECIFIC DATE ON THOSE, BUT AS 

[Captioner] 20:29:41
SOON AS THEY'RE READY FOR 

[Captioner] 20:29:43
COUNCIL CONSUMPTION, AND IN 

[Captioner] 20:29:44
ANSWER TO YOUR QUESTION ARE WE 

[Captioner] 20:29:46
LOOKING WHAT OTHER CITIES ARE 

[Captioner] 20:29:48
DOING, INDEED WE ARE, I'M 

[Captioner] 20:29:52
WORKING CLOSELY WITH THE CITY 

[Captioner] 20:29:53
ATTORNEY'S STAFF, THEY'VE BEEN 

[Captioner] 20:29:55
REALLY HELPFUL IN KIND OF 

[Captioner] 20:29:56
GATHERING THE BEST PARTS OF WHAT 

[Captioner] 20:29:59
SOME OTHER CITIES ARE DOING.

[Captioner] 20:30:00
>> Mayor Mei: WELL, I WANTED TO 

[Captioner] 20:30:01
THANK YOU FOR THIS REPORT.

[Captioner] 20:30:03
I KNOW THAT WE MAY HAVE SOME 

[Captioner] 20:30:05
SPEAKERS ON THIS ITEM SO I'D 

[Captioner] 20:30:06
LIKE TO HEAR FROM THEM, UNLESS 

[Captioner] 20:30:07
YOU HAVE A CLARIFYING QUESTION, 

[Captioner] 20:30:15
COUNCILMEMBER>> Councilmember 

[Captioner] 20:30:16
Shao:   THANK YOU MADAM MAYOR.

[Captioner] 20:30:17
CLARIFYING QUESTION.

[Captioner] 20:30:20
DO WE REALLY HAVE TO HAVE THIS 

[Captioner] 20:30:22
ORDINANCE BEFORE WE TAKE 

[Captioner] 20:30:22
ACTION?

[Captioner] 20:30:24
CAN WE ENFORCE THE LAW SIMPLY 

[Captioner] 20:30:26
BASED UPON THE SUPREME COURT 

[Captioner] 20:30:26
RULING?

[Captioner] 20:30:31
I BELIEVE LEGALLY THAT IS THE

[Captioner] 20:30:35
 ULTIMATE

[Captioner] 20:30:40
 BASIS FOR OUR ACTION.

[Captioner] 20:30:41
WE CAN JUST RESORT TO THAT.

[Captioner] 20:30:46
>> IT'S AN EXCELLENT QUESTION, 

[Captioner] 20:30:51
COUNCILMEMBER.

[Captioner] 20:30:53
THERE ARE PROBABLY A COUPLE OF 

[Captioner] 20:30:54
ANSWERS TO THAT.

[Captioner] 20:30:55
ONE WOULD BE WE ARE ALREADY 

[Captioner] 20:30:58
TAKING SOME ACTION THAT DOES NOT 

[Captioner] 20:30:59
REQUIRE COUNCIL AUTHORIZATION 

[Captioner] 20:31:00
NOW.

[Captioner] 20:31:02
SO THAT THE CHIEF'S ENFORCEMENT 

[Captioner] 20:31:07
STAFF, HAS DISPERSE

[Captioner] 20:31:10
ED ENCAMPMENTS SAY SINCE THE 

[Captioner] 20:31:14
GRANTS PASS DECISION.

[Captioner] 20:31:18
AROUND -- BUT, YOU KNOW,

[Captioner] 20:31:20
 THE MUNICIPAL CODE REVISIONS 

[Captioner] 20:31:22
THAT WE ARE CONTEMPLATING WILL 

[Captioner] 20:31:24
ONE PROVIDE COMPLICIT DIRECTION 

[Captioner] 20:31:26
TO OUR STAFF ABOUT WHAT WE'RE 

[Captioner] 20:31:28
ASKING THEM TO DO AND TWO WILL 

[Captioner] 20:31:29
PROVIDE THEM WITH THE AUTHORITY 

[Captioner] 20:31:30
AND THE STRUCTURE TO CARRY IT 

[Captioner] 20:31:35
OUT IN AN ORGANIZED WAY.

[Captioner] 20:31:39
SO

[Captioner] 20:31:42
 NO, WE DON'T NEED TO PAUSE ALL 

[Captioner] 20:31:43
ACTION WAITING FOR THESE CODE 

[Captioner] 20:31:45
ACTIONS AND IN FACT WE ARE 

[Captioner] 20:31:46
THOUGHT.

[Captioner] 20:31:48
AND TWO, BOY WE WOULD LIKE TO 

[Captioner] 20:31:49
HAVE THESE BECAUSE IT IS GOOD 

[Captioner] 20:31:51
AND SUPPORTIVE TO OUR TEAM THAT 

[Captioner] 20:31:53
IS OUT IN THE FIELD AND IT WILL 

[Captioner] 20:31:54
PROVIDE CLARITY ABOUT WHAT WE'RE DOING.

[Captioner] 20:32:00
>> Mayor Mei:   THANK YOU.

[Captioner] 20:32:03
COUNCILMEMBER -- ACTUALLY VICE 

[Captioner] 20:32:04
MAYOR CAMPBELL DO YOU HAVE A 

[Captioner] 20:32:05
CLARIFYING QUESTION?

[Captioner] 20:32:06
>> Vice Mayor Campbell:   YES, 

[Captioner] 20:32:07
ACTUALLY I HAVE A COUPLE.

[Captioner] 20:32:08
THANK YOU FOR THIS 

[Captioner] 20:32:08
PRESENTATION.

[Captioner] 20:32:10
I KNOW THIS IS A HARD SUBJECT 

[Captioner] 20:32:11
AND WE'VE BEEN WORKING ON IT FOR 

[Captioner] 20:32:13
SUCH A LONG TIME.

[Captioner] 20:32:15
I HAVE A QUESTION ABOUT THE 

[Captioner] 20:32:19
ACTIVITIES AND INTERVENTIONS 

[Captioner] 20:32:21
SINCE THE GRANTS PASS DECISION.

[Captioner] 20:32:25
WE SAY THAT THERE WERE 91 SITES 

[Captioner] 20:32:27
THAT WERE OUTREACHED TO AND 

[Captioner] 20:32:30
TRIAGED FOR INTERVENTION.

[Captioner] 20:32:32
AND I'M REALLY CONCERNED ABOUT 

[Captioner] 20:32:36
THE ONE THAT I'VE SEEN PRETTY 

[Captioner] 20:32:36
OFTEN.

[Captioner] 20:32:39
AND THAT'S UNDER THE WASHINGTON 

[Captioner] 20:32:39
UNDERPASS.

[Captioner] 20:32:44
RIGHT AT -- WHAT IS THAT,

[Captioner] 20:32:48
 WASHINGTON BOULEVARD AND --

[Captioner] 20:32:52
>> Mayor Mei:   DRISCOLL,

[Captioner] 20:32:53
 OSGOOD RIGHT THERE.

[Captioner] 20:32:56
>> Vice Mayor Campbell:   IT WAS 

[Captioner] 20:32:58
BACK WHEN I WAS OVER THERE LAST 

[Captioner] 20:33:00
WEEK SO I'M JUST WONDERING WHAT 

[Captioner] 20:33:01
KINDS OF SERVICES ARE ACTUALLY 

[Captioner] 20:33:03
BEING OFFERED OVER THERE.

[Captioner] 20:33:07
>> THANK YOU FOR THAT QUESTION.

[Captioner] 20:33:09
YES, THAT'S A VERY WELL KNOWN 

[Captioner] 20:33:10
SITE.

[Captioner] 20:33:13
IT HAS RECEIVED A NUMBER OF 

[Captioner] 20:33:16
SERVICES, ESPECIALLY SINCE THE 

[Captioner] 20:33:16
COVID-19 PANDEMIC.

[Captioner] 20:33:19
SO IN PARTICULAR, THERE IS TRASH 

[Captioner] 20:33:21
SERVICE, HYGIENE STATIONS, 

[Captioner] 20:33:23
HEALTH VAN GOES THERE.

[Captioner] 20:33:25
PROACTIVE OUTREACH GOES THERE.

[Captioner] 20:33:29
WE CONDUCT WEEKLY CLEANUPS AND I

[Captioner] 20:33:33
 WAS -- THE MOST RECENT 

[Captioner] 20:33:36
ABATEMENT WAS JULY 9th.

[Captioner] 20:33:38
SO IT IS AN EXAMPLE OF HOW 

[Captioner] 20:33:42
THINGS CAN CHANGE OVER TIME, 

[Captioner] 20:33:44
EVEN ONCE YOU TAKE ACTION, AND 

[Captioner] 20:33:45
DOESN'T NECESSARILY COMPLETELY 

[Captioner] 20:33:47
RESOLVE THE ISSUE.

[Captioner] 20:33:48
>> Vice Mayor Campbell:   

[Captioner] 20:33:48
RIGHT.

[Captioner] 20:33:52
SO HAVE THOSE DROANTS BEEN

[Captioner] 20:33:56
 DROANTS BEEN OFFERED -- 

[Captioner] 20:33:58
RESIDENTS BEEN OFFERED ANY TYPE 

[Captioner] 20:34:00
OF HOUSING SERVICES?

[Captioner] 20:34:02
>> I CAN'T SPEAK SPECIFICALLY.

[Captioner] 20:34:03
THE POPULATION MAY CHANGE, MONTH 

[Captioner] 20:34:05
TO MONTH, OVER TIME.

[Captioner] 20:34:08
I JUST AM AWARE THAT THERE ARE 

[Captioner] 20:34:10
MULTIPLE OUTREACH TEAMS THAT GO 

[Captioner] 20:34:13
OUT THERE AND HOUSING IS ONE OF 

[Captioner] 20:34:14
THEIR FOCUSES.

[Captioner] 20:34:15
>> OKAY, THANK YOU.

[Captioner] 20:34:19
ALSO LET'S SEE, ON THE ONE QUICK 

[Captioner] 20:34:22
QUESTION, THE 72-HOUR 

[Captioner] 20:34:22
RESTRICTION.

[Captioner] 20:34:25
I HEARD YOU SAY A MINUTE AGO 

[Captioner] 20:34:28
THAT THERE WILL BE A SET 

[Captioner] 20:34:32
DURATION FOR THEM TO RETURN

[Captioner] 20:34:32
.

[Captioner] 20:34:35
AND YOU SEWED 24 TO 48 HOURS.

[Captioner] 20:34:38
SO IF I'M ON A STREET, AND YOU 

[Captioner] 20:34:40
MAKE ME MOVE TO B STREET, I 

[Captioner] 20:34:43
CAN'T COME BACK TO A STREET FOR 

[Captioner] 20:34:44
24 TO TRAY HOURS?

[Captioner] 20:34:48
IS THERE NO

[Captioner] 20:34:51
 PERMANENT BANS?

[Captioner] 20:34:52
>> THE CODE THAT WE'RE 

[Captioner] 20:34:54
DISCUSSING DOES NOT CONTEMPLATE 

[Captioner] 20:34:58
A PERMANENT BAN

[Captioner] 20:35:06
 I'M NOT SURE ABOUT THE LEGALITY 

[Captioner] 20:35:07
OF AREAS OF THE CITY THAT PEOPLE 

[Captioner] 20:35:10
ARE SIMPLY NOT ALLOWED TO -- 

[Captioner] 20:35:11
PUBLIC STREETS THAT INDIVIDUALS 

[Captioner] 20:35:13
WERE BANNED FROM ON A PERMANENT 

[Captioner] 20:35:13
BASIS.

[Captioner] 20:35:27
>> Cty. Attny. Alvarado:  .

[Captioner] 20:35:28
THESE ORDINANCES WOULD APPLY TO 

[Captioner] 20:35:30
ALL TYPES OF VEHICLES.

[Captioner] 20:35:31
THERE ARE TWO ORDINANCES THAT 

[Captioner] 20:35:34
WERE DISCUSSED WILLIAM, ONE 

[Captioner] 20:35:37
ORDINANCE WAS RELATED TO THE 

[Captioner] 20:35:38
SIZE OF A VEHICLE.

[Captioner] 20:35:40
THE TYPE OF A VEHICLE IS SIMPLY 

[Captioner] 20:35:42
THE ENFORCEMENT OF THAT TIME 

[Captioner] 20:35:42
LIMIT.

[Captioner] 20:35:44
WHAT IS BEING CONTEMPLATED IS 

[Captioner] 20:35:45
CONSISTENT WITH WHAT A LOT OF 

[Captioner] 20:35:46
CITIES DO.

[Captioner] 20:35:48
THE PROHIBITION ON COMING BACK 

[Captioner] 20:35:52
IS AN

[Captioner] 20:35:54
 ADDITIONAL ENFORCEMENT TOOL.

[Captioner] 20:35:55
BUT UNLESS YOU PROHIBIT PARKING 

[Captioner] 20:35:57
ALONG THAT STREET COMPLETELY, 

[Captioner] 20:35:58
EVENTUALLY PEOPLE WILL COME 

[Captioner] 20:35:59
BACK.

[Captioner] 20:36:00
WHETHER IT'S A PERSON PARKING 

[Captioner] 20:36:02
JUST A STANDARD SEDAN OR A 

[Captioner] 20:36:04
PERSON THAT MAY BE IN THAT 

[Captioner] 20:36:05
VEHICLE FOR A LONGER PERIOD OF 

[Captioner] 20:36:05
TIME.

[Captioner] 20:36:08
>> Vice Mayor Campbell:   OKAY.

[Captioner] 20:36:10
BUT YOU HAVEN'T CONTEMPLATED HOW 

[Captioner] 20:36:12
LONG THAT DURATION IS AT THIS 

[Captioner] 20:36:16
POINT?

[Captioner] 20:36:17
>> 24 TO 48 HOURS IS WHAT WE'RE 

[Captioner] 20:36:19
CONTEMPLATING.

[Captioner] 20:36:20
>> Vice Mayor Campbell:   OKAY.

[Captioner] 20:36:21
>> AND I THINK TO THE CITY 

[Captioner] 20:36:23
ATTORNEY'S POINT, YOU KNOW, THIS 

[Captioner] 20:36:25
WOULD APPLY TO LET'S SAY WE'RE 

[Captioner] 20:36:27
TALKING ABOUT ENFORCING IN FRONT 

[Captioner] 20:36:29
OF AN APARTMENT BUILDING OR 

[Captioner] 20:36:29
SOMETHING.

[Captioner] 20:36:31
THE PEOPLE THAT LIVE IN THAT 

[Captioner] 20:36:32
APARTMENT BUILDING WILL ALSO BE 

[Captioner] 20:36:33
SUBJECT TO THIS RULE.

[Captioner] 20:36:35
SO, YOU KNOW, THEY MIGHT VIOLATE 

[Captioner] 20:36:38
THIS RULE AND NEED TO MOVE THEIR 

[Captioner] 20:36:40
CAR BUT THEY WOULD EVENTUALLY 

[Captioner] 20:36:43
WANT TO AVAIL THEMSELVES OF 

[Captioner] 20:36:44
STREET PARKING AGAIN BECAUSE 

[Captioner] 20:36:45
THEY LIVE IN THAT APARTMENT.

[Captioner] 20:36:47
THAT IS THE KIND OF APPLICATION, 

[Captioner] 20:36:48
CONSISTENT APPLICATION THAT 

[Captioner] 20:36:49
WE'RE DISCUSSING.

[Captioner] 20:36:49
>> Vice Mayor Campbell:   I 

[Captioner] 20:36:49
SEE.

[Captioner] 20:36:52
AND KNOWN MY LAST QUESTION IS -- 

[Captioner] 20:36:54
AND THEN MY LAST QUESTION IS 

[Captioner] 20:36:58
ABOUT CITYWIDE CAMPING BAN ON 

[Captioner] 20:36:59
PUBLIC PROPERTY.

[Captioner] 20:37:01
I NO THAT RAILROADS OR RAILROAD 

[Captioner] 20:37:04
WAYS LIKE THE BART STATIONS AND 

[Captioner] 20:37:07
THOSE KINDS OF PLACES WERE NOT 

[Captioner] 20:37:11
INCLUDED IN THAT PUBLIC PROPERTY 

[Captioner] 20:37:11
LIST.

[Captioner] 20:37:14
IT WAS WATERWAYS OR BANK OR 

[Captioner] 20:37:16
WATERWAYS BUT NOTHING ABOUT 

[Captioner] 20:37:16
RAILROADS.

[Captioner] 20:37:19
BECAUSE JUST ON THE FREMONT 

[Captioner] 20:37:22
BOULEVARD, IS IT THE ACE TRAIN, 

[Captioner] 20:37:24
WHERE THAT IS, YOU COULD JUST 

[Captioner] 20:37:27
STAND THERE AND LOOK DOWN THE 

[Captioner] 20:37:30
RAILROAD TRACKS AND SEE 

[Captioner] 20:37:31
ENCAMPMENTS.

[Captioner] 20:37:33
SO WHAT -- ARE THERE ANY PLANS 

[Captioner] 20:37:36
TO INCLUDE THAT IN THE 

[Captioner] 20:37:37
DISCUSSION?

[Captioner] 20:37:45
>> GENERALLY SPEAKING THOSE ARE 

[Captioner] 20:37:46
DIFFERENT JURISDICTIONS.

[Captioner] 20:37:49
SO THE RAILROAD COULD BE UNION 

[Captioner] 20:37:52
PACIFIC, IT COULD BE CALTRANS.

[Captioner] 20:37:54
WE WORK WITH A LOT OF DIFFERENT 

[Captioner] 20:37:55
JURISDICTIONS THAT OPERATE IN 

[Captioner] 20:37:56
FREMONT.

[Captioner] 20:38:00
AND THEY HAVE THEIR OWN STRATEGY

[Captioner] 20:38:02
 IN WHICH TO DEAL WITH 

[Captioner] 20:38:03
ENCAMPMENTS.

[Captioner] 20:38:07
MANY TIMES IT'S REMOVAL

[Captioner] 20:38:09
 AND IT'S ANOTHER SITUATION 

[Captioner] 20:38:13
WHERE IT'S A REVOLVING DOOR, 

[Captioner] 20:38:17
THEY WILL REMOVE THEM FROM THAT

[Captioner] 20:38:23
 PARTICULAR AREA AND IT'S A

[Captioner] 20:38:24
 REVOLUME VIPG SITUATION THAT 

[Captioner] 20:38:25
WE'VE SEEN.

[Captioner] 20:38:26
>> Vice Mayor Campbell:   DO 

[Captioner] 20:38:28
THEY HELP WITH THE CLEANUP AND 

[Captioner] 20:38:29
ABATEMENT AT ALL?

[Captioner] 20:38:31
>> WHEN WE HAVE PROPERTIES THAT 

[Captioner] 20:38:32
INTERSECT WHERE WE HAVE LIKE A 

[Captioner] 20:38:35
COMMON ISSUE WHERE THERE IS AN 

[Captioner] 20:38:37
ENCAMPMENT ON FREMONT, UNION 

[Captioner] 20:38:38
PACIFIC AND CALTRANS PROPERTY WE 

[Captioner] 20:38:40
HAVE WORKED TOGETHER TO THE 

[Captioner] 20:38:40
EXTENT POSSIBLE.

[Captioner] 20:38:42
I'LL REPHRASE THAT A BIT.

[Captioner] 20:38:46
THEY'RE VERY LARGE AGENCIES BUT 

[Captioner] 20:38:48
YES, WE COMMUNICATE WHEN THERE 

[Captioner] 20:38:49
ARE PLANNED ACTIVITIES ON OUR 

[Captioner] 20:38:51
SITES AT LEAST TO BE AWARE OF.

[Captioner] 20:38:51
>> Vice Mayor Campbell:   OKAY, 

[Captioner] 20:38:52
THANK YOU.

[Captioner] 20:38:54
>> Mayor Mei:   THANK YOU.

[Captioner] 20:38:56
I JUST WANTED TO ADD A FOLLOW-ON 

[Captioner] 20:38:59
QUESTION TO VICE MAYOR'S REAL 

[Captioner] 20:39:00
QUICKLY.

[Captioner] 20:39:02
AS I UNDERSTAND THAT YOU 

[Captioner] 20:39:03
WOULDN'T REMOVE IT FROM SOME 

[Captioner] 20:39:05
PLACES FOR 24 TO 48 HOURS.

[Captioner] 20:39:07
BUT WITH LIGHT OF DAY LIGHTING 

[Captioner] 20:39:09
AND SOME OF THE CONCERNS I KNOW 

[Captioner] 20:39:12
ONE OF OUR SPEAKERS TALKED ABOUT 

[Captioner] 20:39:14
DESTINY CHURCH AND THAT STRETCH 

[Captioner] 20:39:17
ON ALBRAE, THERE IS A SCHOOL 

[Captioner] 20:39:18
THERE AND OTHER THINGS.

[Captioner] 20:39:20
I WOULD RECOMMEND I KNOW THAT 

[Captioner] 20:39:22
SOMETHING THAT WE HAVE TO LOOK 

[Captioner] 20:39:24
AT IN CASE-BY-CASE BASIS BECAUSE 

[Captioner] 20:39:26
THAT'S A BLIND SPOT AS YOU TURN 

[Captioner] 20:39:27
THAT CURVE TOO.

[Captioner] 20:39:28
THAT WHILE IT'S NOT SOMETHING 

[Captioner] 20:39:30
THAT WE WOULD HAVE PUT A 

[Captioner] 20:39:31
PERMANENT BAN THIS SOME PLACES 

[Captioner] 20:39:33
THAT APARTMENTS OR OTHER STUFF 

[Captioner] 20:39:34
BUT I THINK ON CERTAIN AREAS 

[Captioner] 20:39:36
LIKE THAT WHICH IS COMMERCIAL 

[Captioner] 20:39:39
AND IT IS A VERY BUSY CORRIDOR, 

[Captioner] 20:39:43
ALBRAE, WE HAVE THE CABS AREA, 

[Captioner] 20:39:47
CHRISTY ALBRAE, VSO ALLEN 

[Captioner] 20:39:49
STEWART, AND I'M FAMILIAR WITH 

[Captioner] 20:39:50
THE CHURCH BECAUSE ACTUALLY YOU 

[Captioner] 20:39:53
HAD A FIRE HYDRANT IN THE FRONT, 

[Captioner] 20:39:55
AT ONE POINT SOMEONE WAS TAPPING 

[Captioner] 20:39:56
INTO IT.

[Captioner] 20:39:57
I FOLLOWED THE TICKET TO MAKE 

[Captioner] 20:40:00
SURE IT CLOSED BUT YOUR FOUNTAIN 

[Captioner] 20:40:01
THERE I'M FAMILIAR WITH IT TOO 

[Captioner] 20:40:05
AND I'M VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THE 

[Captioner] 20:40:07
TOX ISITY AND THINGS THAT ARE IN 

[Captioner] 20:40:09
THERE BECAUSE I'VE BEEN OUT 

[Captioner] 20:40:09
THERE MULTIPLE TIMES.

[Captioner] 20:40:11
BUT I THINK THERE THAT 

[Captioner] 20:40:13
PERSPECTIVE I AGREES WITH 

[Captioner] 20:40:14
COUNCILMEMBER CAMPBELL, SOME OF 

[Captioner] 20:40:15
THOSE NEED TO BE PERMANENT.

[Captioner] 20:40:18
SO THAT'S MY FEEDBACK ON THAT 

[Captioner] 20:40:20
ONE, BUT THANK YOU.

[Captioner] 20:40:20
COUNCILMEMBER COX.

[Captioner] 20:40:22
>> Councilmember Cox:   THANK 

[Captioner] 20:40:25
YOU SO MUCH FOR BRINGING FORTH 

[Captioner] 20:40:26
THIS UPDATE.

[Captioner] 20:40:29
I WOULD LIKE TO SAY THAT IN 

[Captioner] 20:40:31
REGARDS TO PLACES THAT MAY HAVE 

[Captioner] 20:40:34
CHILDREN, I REALLY THINK WE 

[Captioner] 20:40:35
SHOULD REALLY RETHINK WHERE WE 

[Captioner] 20:40:37
HAVE PARKS, WHERE WE HAVE 

[Captioner] 20:40:40
SCHOOLS, THOSE THINGS SHOULD BE 

[Captioner] 20:40:41
UNDER CONSIDERATION OF LOOKING 

[Captioner] 20:40:45
AT MORE OF A LONG TERM BAN.

[Captioner] 20:40:46
BECAUSE A LOT OF THE PEOPLE ARE 

[Captioner] 20:40:48
NOT GOING TO BE BACKGROUND 

[Captioner] 20:40:50
SCREENED AROUND CHILDREN AND 

[Captioner] 20:40:52
FAMILIES, YOU KNOW, TALKING THE 

[Captioner] 20:40:54
AREA WHERE WE HAVE GREEN PARK 

[Captioner] 20:40:56
DRIVE RIGHT THERE, THAT ALSO IS 

[Captioner] 20:40:58
A COMMUNITY CENTER THAT ALSO HAS 

[Captioner] 20:41:00
A LOT OF YOUTH COMING THROUGH 

[Captioner] 20:41:03
THERE AND THERE IS STILL ONE OR 

[Captioner] 20:41:06
TWO VEHICLES THAT DO -- THEY'RE 

[Captioner] 20:41:08
STILL THERE THAT HAVEN'T BEEN 

[Captioner] 20:41:08
TRANSITIONED.

[Captioner] 20:41:12
AND ANOTHER AREA THAT IS 

[Captioner] 20:41:12
GROUPING UP THAT I'VE GOTTEN 

[Captioner] 20:41:14
CALLS FROM THE PRINCIPAL, 

[Captioner] 20:41:17
PRINCIPALS AT HIRSCH AND HORNER 

[Captioner] 20:41:19
IS THAT THERE ARE A COUPLE OF 

[Captioner] 20:41:21
GROWING CAMPSITES RIGHT BY THE 

[Captioner] 20:41:22
CHURCH AND RIGHT ACROSS THE 

[Captioner] 20:41:24
STREET FROM THE SCHOOL.

[Captioner] 20:41:26
AND SO I'M JUST SEEING LITTLE 

[Captioner] 20:41:28
DATA POINTS OF, THERE'S GOT TO 

[Captioner] 20:41:30
BE SOME THINGS THAT WE SHOULD 

[Captioner] 20:41:33
LOOK AT, AT LONG TERM OF THE 

[Captioner] 20:41:35
SAFETY OF CHILDREN AND PEOPLES 

[Captioner] 20:41:36
ESPECIALLY, IN THOSE DIFFERENT 

[Captioner] 20:41:39
CORRIDORS, TO KIND OF PUT THOSE 

[Captioner] 20:41:40
UNDER CONSIDERATION.

[Captioner] 20:41:42
ARE THOSE SOME OF YOUR PHASE -- 

[Captioner] 20:41:43
YOU KNOW YOU HAVE DIFFERENT 

[Captioner] 20:41:45
PHASES OF THIS PROGRAM YOU'RE 

[Captioner] 20:41:49
GOING TO BE IMPLEMENTING?

[Captioner] 20:41:52
>> SO SHORTLY AFTER THE GRANTS 

[Captioner] 20:41:55
PASS DECISION, STAFF DID REVISE 

[Captioner] 20:41:56
OUR ENCAMPMENT MANAGEMENT 

[Captioner] 20:41:58
GUIDELINES TO INCLUDE A GREATER 

[Captioner] 20:42:02
FOCUS ON SCHOOLS OR EDUCATIONAL 

[Captioner] 20:42:03
FACILITIES.

[Captioner] 20:42:06
SO THAT WAS ALREADY PUT INTO OUR 

[Captioner] 20:42:11
HIGH PRIORITY FOR ABATEMENT LIST

[Captioner] 20:42:15
 LIST.

[Captioner] 20:42:17
SO THAT IS -- WE HAVE  

[Captioner] 20:42:20
HIGHLIGHTED THAT AS AN AREA OF 

[Captioner] 20:42:21
CONCERN ALREADY AND WE WILL 

[Captioner] 20:42:23
CONTINUE TO WORK ON THAT AS WE 

[Captioner] 20:42:26
APPLY RESOURCES UNDER A 

[Captioner] 20:42:27
POTENTIAL CAMPING BAN.

[Captioner] 20:42:30
>> Councilmember Cox:   AND FOR 

[Captioner] 20:42:31
THOSE THAT YOU HAVE NOT RESOLVED 

[Captioner] 20:42:34
AS THIS HAS COME TO BEING 

[Captioner] 20:42:35
ESPECIALLY AROUND THE IRVINGTON 

[Captioner] 20:42:36
PARK, THERE IS STILL ONE OR TWO 

[Captioner] 20:42:38
THAT ARE STILL THERE THAT HAVE 

[Captioner] 20:42:40
BEEN THERE FOR SIX, SEVEN,  

[Captioner] 20:42:41
EIGHT, THIN MONTHS.

[Captioner] 20:42:43
A VERY LONG TIME.

[Captioner] 20:42:45
AND COULD YOU PROVIDE SOME MORE 

[Captioner] 20:42:49
STATUS ON THAT PARTICULAR ONES 

[Captioner] 20:42:51
THAT, WHY THEY'RE ALLOWED TO 

[Captioner] 20:42:53
STAY AND OTHERS HAVE LEFT?

[Captioner] 20:42:55
IS THERE SOME TRANSITION PLAN 

[Captioner] 20:43:00
FOR THEM THAT WE'RE WORKING OUT?

[Captioner] 20:43:08
>> Sean Washington:   LET ME 

[Captioner] 20:43:09
FIRST STATE, I APPRECIATE THE 

[Captioner] 20:43:10
QUESTION AND I THINK WE HAVE 

[Captioner] 20:43:12
SOME STAFF HERE THAT MAYBE CAN 

[Captioner] 20:43:13
SPEAK TO MORE SPECIFICS OF WHAT 

[Captioner] 20:43:15
HAS BEEN DOAN IN THAT PARTICULAR 

[Captioner] 20:43:15
AREA.

[Captioner] 20:43:19
I THINK WE HAVE ONE OF OUR MET 

[Captioner] 20:43:20
SERGEANT ONLINE AT A CAN SPEAK 

[Captioner] 20:43:21
TO THE SPECIFICS.

[Captioner] 20:43:23
I DON'T HAVE THAT FOR YOU, 

[Captioner] 20:43:24
COUNCILMEMBER COX BUT I DO 

[Captioner] 20:43:26
APPRECIATE THE QUESTION AND 

[Captioner] 20:43:29
FOLLOW-UP AND HOPEFULLY, 

[Captioner] 20:43:31
SERGEANT SINGH IS ONLINE AND 

[Captioner] 20:43:33
LISTENING AND MAYBE CAN PROVIDE 

[Captioner] 20:43:34
A LITTLE BIT MORE BACKGROUND TO 

[Captioner] 20:43:36
THAT PARTICULAR AREA.

[Captioner] 20:43:39
OKAY, CAN WE GET HER ON?

[Captioner] 20:43:41
>> YES, GOOD EVENING, CAN YOU 

[Captioner] 20:43:43
GUYS HEAR ME?

[Captioner] 20:43:43
>> Councilmember Cox:   YES.

[Captioner] 20:43:49
>> SO HI, MY NAME IS SERGEANT 

[Captioner] 20:43:51
SINGH, I'M THE NET SERGEANT 

[Captioner] 20:43:52
SPECIFICALLY SPEAKING ABOUT 

[Captioner] 20:43:54
GREEN PARK.

[Captioner] 20:43:57
MY UNIT DOES GO OUT THERE DAILY, 

[Captioner] 20:43:59
JUST TO MONITOR FOR ANY 

[Captioner] 20:43:59
VIOLATION.

[Captioner] 20:44:01
SO AS OF TODAY, I KNOW FOR A 

[Captioner] 20:44:04
FACT THERE IS ONE RV THAT IS 

[Captioner] 20:44:05
PRESENT.

[Captioner] 20:44:07
THERE ARE NO VIOLATIONS.

[Captioner] 20:44:09
SO THERE'S NOTHING FOR US TO 

[Captioner] 20:44:10
ENFORCE.

[Captioner] 20:44:12
I KNOW THAT OUTREACH HAS BEEN 

[Captioner] 20:44:13
DONE TO THE INDIVIDUALS THAT ARE 

[Captioner] 20:44:17
LIVING IN THIS RV, AND 

[Captioner] 20:44:20
BASICALLY, WE ARE JUST TRYING TO 

[Captioner] 20:44:22
OFFER RESOURCES TO THIS 

[Captioner] 20:44:25
INDIVIDUAL, GAIN COMPLIANCE, AND 

[Captioner] 20:44:28
MOST OF OUR ENCAMPMENT CLEARING 

[Captioner] 20:44:30
IS DONE THROUGH VOLUNTARY 

[Captioner] 20:44:30
COMPLIANCE.

[Captioner] 20:44:32
SO WE HAVE NOTHING TO ENFORCE 

[Captioner] 20:44:34
RIGHT NOW.

[Captioner] 20:44:37
SO THAT'S WHERE IT STANDS.

[Captioner] 20:44:40
>> Councilmember Cox:   THANK 

[Captioner] 20:44:44
YOU.

[Captioner] 20:44:45
>> Mayor Mei:   COUNCILMEMBER 

[Captioner] 20:44:45
SALWAN.

[Captioner] 20:44:47
AND THEN I THINK WE HAVE SIX 

[Captioner] 20:44:49
SPEAKERS BUT WE MIGHT BE DUE FOR 

[Captioner] 20:44:51
A BREAK BEFORE WE GET TO SIX 

[Captioner] 20:44:52
SPEAKERS.

[Captioner] 20:44:55
SO I APOLOGIZE ON THAT.

[Captioner] 20:44:55
>> Councilmember Salwan:   THANK 

[Captioner] 20:44:56
YOU.

[Captioner] 20:44:58
REGARDING PUBLIC PLACES WHAT IS 

[Captioner] 20:45:00
THAT DEFINED AS, PARKS AND 

[Captioner] 20:45:02
SCHOOLS AND WHAT SORT OF -- HOW 

[Captioner] 20:45:03
DO YOU DEFINE THAT?

[Captioner] 20:45:04
>> ARE YOU REFERRING TO PUBLIC 

[Captioner] 20:45:06
PROPERTY OR --

[Captioner] 20:45:06
>> Councilmember Salwan:   

[Captioner] 20:45:09
PUBLIC REPORT I'M SORRY YEAH.

[Captioner] 20:45:12
>> YES I MEAN CIVIC SIDEWALKS, 

[Captioner] 20:45:16
STREETS, RIVER WAYS.

[Captioner] 20:45:18
THE AREAS OF SORT OF SHARED 

[Captioner] 20:45:22
TRANSIT, AM I PRETTY GOOD?

[Captioner] 20:45:23
>> Councilmember Salwan:   LIKE 

[Captioner] 20:45:26
THE CREEK AND SHOPPING CENTER, 

[Captioner] 20:45:28
OUTSIDE SHOPPING CENTERS?

[Captioner] 20:45:30
>> SHOPPING CENTER WOULD BE 

[Captioner] 20:45:31
PRIVATE PROPERTY TYPICALLY SO 

[Captioner] 20:45:33
THAT WOULD BE TRESPASSING THAT 

[Captioner] 20:45:35
IS ALREADY ENFORCEABLE UNDER 

[Captioner] 20:45:36
EXISTING LAW.

[Captioner] 20:45:37
>> Councilmember Salwan:   BUT 

[Captioner] 20:45:39
JUST THE SIDEWALK ON THE STREET?

[Captioner] 20:45:40
>> CORRECT.

[Captioner] 20:45:41
>> Councilmember Salwan:   

[Captioner] 20:45:41
OKAY.

[Captioner] 20:45:43
>> AND THEN RIVERS AND WATERWAYS 

[Captioner] 20:45:45
WOULD VARY SOMEWHAT, YOU KNOW, 

[Captioner] 20:45:49
BUT IF IT'S A CITY PROPERTY THEN

[Captioner] 20:45:51
 WE WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR 

[Captioner] 20:45:51
IT.

[Captioner] 20:45:52
>> Councilmember Salwan:   AND 

[Captioner] 20:45:56
HOW ABOUT LIKE THE LIBRARY?

[Captioner] 20:46:00
>> THE -- YES, THE LIBRARY IS 

[Captioner] 20:46:01
WITHIN THE PARK AND THE PARK IS 

[Captioner] 20:46:03
ALREADY SUBJECT TO NO CAMPING 

[Captioner] 20:46:04
ORDINANCE.

[Captioner] 20:46:06
>> Councilmember Salwan:   

[Captioner] 20:46:06
OKAY.

[Captioner] 20:46:09
SO ONE OF THE CHALLENGES WE HAVE 

[Captioner] 20:46:10
IS THERE IS A LOT OF 

[Captioner] 20:46:11
JURISDICTIONS, SOMETIMES THERE'S 

[Captioner] 20:46:15
LIKE CALTRANS AND WE'VE GOT THE 

[Captioner] 20:46:18
RAILROAD, WHAT IS IT UP AND HARD 

[Captioner] 20:46:20
TO COORDINATE A APPROPRIATE 

[Captioner] 20:46:21
RESPONSE.

[Captioner] 20:46:23
HOW CAN WE COORDINATE THOSE  

[Captioner] 20:46:28
SILOS AND COORDINATE BETTER?

[Captioner] 20:46:30
>> WELL, I MEAN WE CAN ALWAYS 

[Captioner] 20:46:32
WORK TO BETTER COORDINATE WITH 

[Captioner] 20:46:36
OUR PEER AGENCIES.

[Captioner] 20:46:38
I THINK THAT WE GENERALLY HAVE 

[Captioner] 20:46:42
PRETTY GOOD COOPERATION AMONGST 

[Captioner] 20:46:46
OUR PEERS AND WHEN WE DON'T, 

[Captioner] 20:46:49
THAT'S A LONG TERM PROJECT FOR 

[Captioner] 20:46:51
LAURIE AND I, SO WE CAN 

[Captioner] 20:46:53
CERTAINLY WORK ON THAT AND IF 

[Captioner] 20:46:55
THOSE CONCERNS ARE IDENTIFIED 

[Captioner] 20:46:56
WE'LL COMMIT TO WORKING ON  

[Captioner] 20:46:56
THOSE.

[Captioner] 20:46:56
>> Councilmember Salwan:   AND 

[Captioner] 20:46:58
THE ADDITIONAL FUNDING THAT WAS 

[Captioner] 20:47:00
IMPROVED FOR MENTAL HEALTH IN 

[Captioner] 20:47:02
THE STATE ARE WE ABLE TO APPLY 

[Captioner] 20:47:03
ANY OF THOSE FUNDS?

[Captioner] 20:47:06
>> SO THE GENERAL RULE IS MONEY 

[Captioner] 20:47:10
THAT WE GET FROM OUTSIDE SOURCES 

[Captioner] 20:47:12
TYPICALLY IS APPROVED AND 

[Captioner] 20:47:13
PURPOSE RESTRICTED TO SERVICE 

[Captioner] 20:47:14
PROVISION.

[Captioner] 20:47:17
SO WHEN WE'RE APPLYING FOR 

[Captioner] 20:47:18
GRANTS FROM THE STATE, WHEN 

[Captioner] 20:47:21
WE'RE APPLYING FOR OR WHEN THE 

[Captioner] 20:47:22
COUNTY PROVIDES US WITH MONEY, 

[Captioner] 20:47:25
THOSE ARE -- THOSE ARE GOING 

[Captioner] 20:47:27
TOWARDS HOUSING OR WRAP AROUND 

[Captioner] 20:47:29
SERVICES OR INTERVENTION 

[Captioner] 20:47:32
SERVICES.

[Captioner] 20:47:33
ENFORCEMENT IS GENERALLY PAID 

[Captioner] 20:47:36
FOR BY THE CITY AND TYPICALLY IS 

[Captioner] 20:47:39
COMING OUT OF OUR GENERAL FUND.

[Captioner] 20:47:41
SO THAT'S -- THERE ARE SOME 

[Captioner] 20:47:43
ABATEMENT ACTIVITIES LIKE SOME 

[Captioner] 20:47:45
CLEANUP MONEY THAT WE HAVE COMES 

[Captioner] 20:47:46
FROM OTHER SOURCES.

[Captioner] 20:47:48
BUT, YOU KNOW, LAW ENFORCEMENT 

[Captioner] 20:47:50
ACTIVITIES, THAT'S JEENL GOING 

[Captioner] 20:47:53
 GENERALLY GOING TO BE GENERAL 

[Captioner] 20:47:55
FUND MONEY FROM FREMONT.

[Captioner] 20:47:55
>> Councilmember Salwan:   ONE 

[Captioner] 20:47:58
OF THE BIGGEST CHALLENGES IS 

[Captioner] 20:48:00
SHELTER BEDS YOU KNOW GETTING 

[Captioner] 20:48:03
PEOPLE FROM THE ENCAMPMENTS AND 

[Captioner] 20:48:07
PROVIDE THEM SHELTER OR 

[Captioner] 20:48:08
DISABILITY BENEFITS OR GET THEM 

[Captioner] 20:48:09
A JOB.

[Captioner] 20:48:11
HOW ARE WE INCREASING THE 

[Captioner] 20:48:12
SHELTER HOUSING?

[Captioner] 20:48:14
>> CONSISTENT WITH OUR LONG TERM 

[Captioner] 20:48:15
STRATEGY.

[Captioner] 20:48:17
SO AS YOU'LL RECALL WHEN WE 

[Captioner] 20:48:18
APPROVED THE HOMELESS RESPONSE 

[Captioner] 20:48:21
PLAN WE SET A FIVE YEAR STRATEGY 

[Captioner] 20:48:25
FOR INCREASING OUR

[Captioner] 20:48:28
 SHELTER CAPACITY, SO WE'RE IN 

[Captioner] 20:48:30
THE PROCESS OF DOING THAT.

[Captioner] 20:48:32
BUT THERE'S A LONG WAY TO GO.

[Captioner] 20:48:34
AS YOU KNOW THE POINT IN TIME 

[Captioner] 20:48:38
COUNT INDICATED THAT WE HAD 800 

[Captioner] 20:48:40
PLUS HOMELESS INDIVIDUALS IN THE 

[Captioner] 20:48:43
CITY, AND IT'S SUBSTANTIALLY 

[Captioner] 20:48:43
LESS SHELTER THAN THAT.

[Captioner] 20:48:45
>> Councilmember Salwan:   AND 

[Captioner] 20:48:47
THEN IN INSTANCES WHERE LIKE THE 

[Captioner] 20:48:48
FOLKS ARE SETTING FIRES OR 

[Captioner] 20:48:52
 CREATING PUBLIC SAFETY ISSUES, 

[Captioner] 20:48:54
DO WE HAVE DISCRETION TO 

[Captioner] 20:48:58
PRIORITIZE THOSE AREAS?

[Captioner] 20:49:01
>> Sean Washington:    

[Captioner] 20:49:01
ABSOLUTELY.

[Captioner] 20:49:03
AND THAT'S HOW WE PRIORITIZE OUR 

[Captioner] 20:49:04
LIMITED RESOURCES.

[Captioner] 20:49:06
WHENEVER THERE'S AN IMMEDIATE 

[Captioner] 20:49:07
PUBLIC SAFETY CONCERN SUCH AS A 

[Captioner] 20:49:12
FIRE OR SIGNIFICANT VIOLENT 

[Captioner] 20:49:14
CRIME OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT 

[Captioner] 20:49:15
THAT'S WHEN OUR TEAMS GET 

[Captioner] 20:49:16
TOGETHER AND PRIORITIZE THAT 

[Captioner] 20:49:17
PARTICULAR AREA.

[Captioner] 20:49:18
>> Councilmember Salwan:   

[Captioner] 20:49:18
OKAY.

[Captioner] 20:49:22
BECAUSE I DID VISIT HEMPLETON

[Captioner] 20:49:27
 HEMP TOAN IN NORTH FREMONT, 

[Captioner] 20:49:28
THERE WAS A DRAMATIC FIRE AND A 

[Captioner] 20:49:33
LOT OF SHRUBBERY AND ALL.

[Captioner] 20:49:35
THE OTHER THING IS ONGOING 

[Captioner] 20:49:37
MANAGEMENT, WE ARE GREAT AT 

[Captioner] 20:49:39
MANAGING THE ISSUE BUT HOW DO WE 

[Captioner] 20:49:42
STAY ON TOP OF IT SO WE DON'T 

[Captioner] 20:49:46
HAVE TO DEAL WITH THE

[Captioner] 20:49:49
 ISSUE OVER AND OVER AGAIN.

[Captioner] 20:49:50
>> Mayor Mei:   I'M FAMILIAR 

[Captioner] 20:49:51
WITH THAT LOCATION BECAUSE I 

[Captioner] 20:49:52
DROVE UP THERE BEFORE.

[Captioner] 20:49:54
AND SO WE WANT TO WORK MORE WITH 

[Captioner] 20:49:56
OUR OTHER FELLOW JURISDICTIONS 

[Captioner] 20:49:57
TO ADDRESS IT.

[Captioner] 20:49:59
I KNOW WE HAVE SIX SPEAKER  

[Captioner] 20:50:01
CARDS, DO YOU HAVE OTHER 

[Captioner] 20:50:01
THINGS?

[Captioner] 20:50:01
>> Councilmember Salwan:   SO 

[Captioner] 20:50:04
HOW DO WE ADDRESS THAT, THE  

[Captioner] 20:50:05
ONGOING MANAGEMENT?

[Captioner] 20:50:09
>> IF THERE WAS A MAGIC BULLET

[Captioner] 20:50:12
 EVERYONE WOULD BE EMPLOYING 

[Captioner] 20:50:12
IT.

[Captioner] 20:50:16
WHEN WE CLEAR AN ENCAMPMENT, IF 

[Captioner] 20:50:19
IT'S POSSIBLE TO INSTALL 

[Captioner] 20:50:24
PHYSICAL BARRIERS, YOU KNOW,

[Captioner] 20:50:25
 --

[Captioner] 20:50:25
>> Councilmember Salwan:   WELL 

[Captioner] 20:50:27
IS IT THAT ORE IS IT ONGOING 

[Captioner] 20:50:29
VISITING THE SITE AND CHECKING 

[Captioner] 20:50:29
IT?

[Captioner] 20:50:32
I DON'T THINK YOU HAVE A SILVER 

[Captioner] 20:50:33
BULLET, I THINK YOU JUST NEED TO 

[Captioner] 20:50:34
DO FOAL UP.

[Captioner] 20:50:36
>> I WOULD ADD THERE ARE 

[Captioner] 20:50:39
MULTIPLE SITES WE VISIT AND 

[Captioner] 20:50:39
MONITOR WEEKLY.

[Captioner] 20:50:42
THERE ARE MORE SITES EVERY DAY.

[Captioner] 20:50:43
BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE MOVING, 

[Captioner] 20:50:45
PEOPLE ARE MIGRATING, PEOPLE ARE 

[Captioner] 20:50:49
CHANGING, TO STAY ON TOP OF IT 

[Captioner] 20:50:50
TO RESOLVE IT IS WHAT WE  

[Captioner] 20:50:51
DISCUSSED IN THE HOMELESS 

[Captioner] 20:50:53
RESPONSE BAN.

[Captioner] 20:50:55
IT IS THE INVESTMENT IN MORE 

[Captioner] 20:50:57
SHELTER AND HOUSING, IF THERE IS 

[Captioner] 20:51:01
NOT A LOCATION TO RELOCATE TO, 

[Captioner] 20:51:03
THEY CAN DISPERSE THROUGHOUT THE 

[Captioner] 20:51:07
CITY AND CAUSE PROBLEMS IN OTHER 

[Captioner] 20:51:08
LOCATIONS IN THE CITY.

[Captioner] 20:51:09
WE ARE ABLE TO RESOLVE IT 

[Captioner] 20:51:11
THROUGH HOUSING, THAT IS WHAT 

[Captioner] 20:51:12
RESOLVES HOMELESSNESS.

[Captioner] 20:51:14
SO AS STAFF WE CONTINUE TO 

[Captioner] 20:51:17
PRIORITIZE JUST ON THE FACTORS 

[Captioner] 20:51:20
THAT YOU MENTIONED, AND SO MANY 

[Captioner] 20:51:22
SITES WE DO MONITOR FREQUENTLY.

[Captioner] 20:51:25
WE EVEN SHARE OUR WEEKLY  

[Captioner] 20:51:27
CLEANUP, OUR MONTHLY CLEANUP 

[Captioner] 20:51:29
SCHEDULE WITH THE CITY ON THE 

[Captioner] 20:51:31
CITY WEBSITE TO MAKE SURE WE ARE 

[Captioner] 20:51:33
HEARING THE REQUESTS, ACTION CAN 

[Captioner] 20:51:35
LOOK DIFFERENT DEPENDING ON THE 

[Captioner] 20:51:36
CONDITIONS AND WHAT SERVICES WE 

[Captioner] 20:51:38
ARE ABLE TO PROVIDE.

[Captioner] 20:51:38
>> Councilmember Salwan:   

[Captioner] 20:51:40
ABSOLUTELY, SHELTER HOUSING THAT 

[Captioner] 20:51:42
IS THE MISSING LINK WE NEED TO 

[Captioner] 20:51:43
BUILD A LOT MORE OF.

[Captioner] 20:51:45
I THINK THEY DO WELL IN NEW YORK 

[Captioner] 20:51:47
AND OTHER PLACES BUT FOR 

[Captioner] 20:51:48
WHATEVER REASON ON THE WEST 

[Captioner] 20:51:50
COAST WE HAVEN'T DONE SUCH A 

[Captioner] 20:51:52
GREAT JOB SO IF WE CAN FIX 

[Captioner] 20:51:52
THAT.

[Captioner] 20:51:53
THANK YOU.

[Captioner] 20:51:56
>> Mayor Mei:   I KNOW WE HAVE 

[Captioner] 20:51:58
SIX PUBLIC SPEAKERS, WE WERE DUE 

[Captioner] 20:52:02

TWO MINUTES IS THAT CORRECT?

[Captioner] 21:05:05
>> Mayor Mei:   YES PLEASE.

FREMONT.

[Captioner] 21:05:29
AS WE ALL KNOW OWN JULY 25th, 

[Captioner] 21:05:31
GOVERNOR NEWSOM ISSUED EXECUTIVE

UNHOUSED PEOPLE IN OUR COUNTY 

[Captioner] 21:06:02
AND THIS EXECUTIVE ORDER DOES 

[Captioner] 21:06:05
NOT, ROOTED IN DIGNITY AND 

[Captioner] 21:06:06
EQUITY INCLUDING THE CREATION OF 

[Captioner] 21:06:08
HOUSING AND SUPPORTIVE SERVICES 

[Captioner] 21:06:10
FOR THOSE EXPERIENCING  

[Captioner] 21:06:11
HOMELESSNESS.

[Captioner] 21:06:14
AND IT GOES ON IN THAT VEIN.

[Captioner] 21:06:15
THIS IS THE KIND OF STATEMENT 

[Captioner] 21:06:17
AND APPROACH THAT I WANT FREMONT 

[Captioner] 21:06:20
TO DO.

[Captioner] 21:06:21
FREMONT AT ONE POINT COMMITTED 

[Captioner] 21:06:24
TO A HOUSING FIRST APPROACH.

[Captioner] 21:06:25
THE PROPOSED ORDINANCES THAT ARE 

[Captioner] 21:06:26
BEING WORKED ON NOW ARE THE 

[Captioner] 21:06:27
OPPOSITE OF THAT.

[Captioner] 21:06:30
THEY DO NOT SOLVE HOMELESSNESS, 

[Captioner] 21:06:32
THEY JUST CRIMINALIZE IT, MAKING 

[Captioner] 21:06:34
IT HARDER TO GET OFF THE STREETS 

[Captioner] 21:06:36
AND GET INTO HOUSING.

[Captioner] 21:06:38
SO I WOULD LIKE YOU TO PLEASE 

[Captioner] 21:06:40
CONSIDER THE HOUSING FIRST 

[Captioner] 21:06:40
APPROACH.

[Captioner] 21:16:35

CAN OPEN THOSE DOORS, AND HOUSE 

[Captioner] 21:16:40
THOSE THAT ARE ABLE TO BE HOUSED 

[Captioner] 21:16:42
OR EVEN A GROUND OR A LOT THAT 

[Captioner] 21:16:45
WE CAN ENHANCE THAT LOT, ENFORCE 

[Captioner] 21:16:48
IT, ENCAGE IT, AND JUST SIT 

[Captioner] 21:16:49
THOSE PEOPLE SOMEPLACE WHERE 

[Captioner] 21:16:51
THEY CAN FEEL THAT THEY ARE 

[Captioner] 21:16:52
ATTACHED TO SOMETHING?

[Captioner] 21:16:55
BECAUSE LET'S FACE IT.

[Captioner] 21:16:56
LIKE WE ARE COMMUNITY, THEY ARE

[Captioner] 21:17:36
AND I WOULD LIKE TO BRING IT 

[Captioner] 21:17:38
BACK TO THE COUNCIL FOR 

[Captioner] 21:17:39
CONVERSATIONS.

[Captioner] 21:17:43
WE'LL BEGIN WITH ANYONE.

[Captioner] 21:17:48
VICE MAYOR, BUT

[Captioner] 21:17:49
 COUNCILMEMBER YANG SHAO.

[Captioner] 21:17:49
>> Councilmember Shao:   THANK 

[Captioner] 21:17:51
YOU, MADAM MAYOR.

[Captioner] 21:17:52
WHAT'S HAPPENING RIGHT NOW IS 

[Captioner] 21:17:56
THAT EACH AND EVERY CITY IS  

[Captioner] 21:17:59
RACING AGAINST EACH OTHER, 

[Captioner] 21:18:02
TAKING CORRESPONDING APPROACHES 

[Captioner] 21:18:05
ACCORD TO THIS NEW RULING BY THE 

[Captioner] 21:18:06
SUPREME COURT.

[Captioner] 21:18:10
THE FACT IS THAT ALL THOSE 

[Captioner] 21:18:14
PEOPLE WHO ARE LIVING OTHER

[Captioner] 21:18:16
 CITY STREETS AS HOMELESS PEOPLE 

[Captioner] 21:18:18
WILL BE DRIVEN OUT, CLEANED OUT, 

[Captioner] 21:18:21
REMOVED, OUT OF THOSE CITIES, 

[Captioner] 21:18:24
AND WHERE WOULD THEY GO?

[Captioner] 21:18:26
THEY WILL COME TO THOSE CITIES 

[Captioner] 21:18:30
THAT DO NOT HAVE CORRESPONDING 

[Captioner] 21:18:32
ORDINANCE AND HAVE NOT TAKEN 

[Captioner] 21:18:34
CORRESPONDING ACTIONS.

[Captioner] 21:18:35
SIMPLE AS THAT.

[Captioner] 21:18:39
NOW, FOR THOSE PEOPLE WHO

[Captioner] 21:18:44
 WANT TO ADHERE TO THE PRINCIPLE 

[Captioner] 21:18:46
OF HOUSING FIRST, I WONDER 

[Captioner] 21:18:49
WHETHER THAT WOULD APPLY TO 

[Captioner] 21:18:51
SOMEONE WHO HAS BEEN LIVING ON 

[Captioner] 21:18:53
THE STREETS OF NEW YORKER CITY 

[Captioner] 21:18:57
FOR QUITE A FEW YEARS -- NEW 

[Captioner] 21:18:59
YORK CITY QUITE A FEW YEARS GOT 

[Captioner] 21:19:01
A BUS TICKET AND GOT TO SAN 

[Captioner] 21:19:03
FRANCISCO AND LIVED THERE FOR 

[Captioner] 21:19:04
ANOTHER COUPLE OF YEARS AND THEN 

[Captioner] 21:19:06
BECAUSE OF THE ACTIONS TAKEN BY 

[Captioner] 21:19:10
THIS GOVERNMENT OF

[Captioner] 21:19:12
 CITY OF SAN FRANCISCO CAME TO 

[Captioner] 21:19:13
OUR CITY.

[Captioner] 21:19:17
ARE WE OBLIGATED TO PROVIDE

[Captioner] 21:19:19
 THEM PERMANENT HOUSING?

[Captioner] 21:19:19
I DON'T THINK SO.

[Captioner] 21:19:23
WE HAVE TO TAKE CARE OF OUR 

[Captioner] 21:19:23
RESIDENTS FIRST.

[Captioner] 21:19:27
WE HAVE TO TAKE CARE OF THE  

[Captioner] 21:19:29
HOMELESS PEOPLE WHO USED TO BE 

[Captioner] 21:19:30
LIVING AND WORKING AND STUDYING 

[Captioner] 21:19:33
IN THE CITY OF FREMONT FIRST.

[Captioner] 21:19:37
WITHOUT THAT PRIORITY, WE ARE

[Captioner] 21:19:42
 EXPECTING UNLIMITED

[Captioner] 21:19:44
 NUMBERS OF HOMELESS PEOPLE 

[Captioner] 21:19:46
COMING INTO OUR CITY.

[Captioner] 21:19:47
BUT ON THE OTHER HAND WE ONLY 

[Captioner] 21:19:50
HAVE LIMITED RESOURCES FOR THAT 

[Captioner] 21:19:52
KIND OF SERVICE.

[Captioner] 21:19:53
SO PLEASE.

[Captioner] 21:19:56
HELP US SET THE PRIORITY 

[Captioner] 21:19:58
STRAIGHT.

[Captioner] 21:20:00
LOCAL FIRST.

[Captioner] 21:20:02
BECAUSE THAT'S HOW WE CAME TO 

[Captioner] 21:20:05
THIS OFFICE.

[Captioner] 21:20:08
WE WERE VOTED BY THE LOCAL 

[Captioner] 21:20:08
RESIDENTS AND VOTERS.

[Captioner] 21:20:12
NOT BY THE IN-COMING HOMELESS 

[Captioner] 21:20:15
PEOPLE AND WE HAVE TO REPRESENT 

[Captioner] 21:20:16
OUR LOCAL RESIDENTS FIRST.

[Captioner] 21:20:19
THAT'S ALL I HAVE TO SAY.

[Captioner] 21:20:23
>> Mayor Mei:   THANK YOU.

[Captioner] 21:20:25
ANY OTHER COUNCILMEMBERS WHO 

[Captioner] 21:20:27
WANT TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM?

[Captioner] 21:20:33
VICE MAYOR CAMPBELL.

[Captioner] 21:20:34
>> Vice Mayor Campbell:   WELL, 

[Captioner] 21:20:36
I KNOW THIS IS A HARD SUBJECT, 

[Captioner] 21:20:38
IT'S HARD FOR ME BECAUSE AS MOST 

[Captioner] 21:20:41
OF YOU MAY ALREADY KNOW, I'VE 

[Captioner] 21:20:43
WITNESSED WHAT IT'S LIKE TO BE 

[Captioner] 21:20:45
UNSHELTERED WITHIN MY OWN  

[Captioner] 21:20:46
PEOPLE.

[Captioner] 21:20:50
MY SON WAS IN WASHINGTON, D.C,

[Captioner] 21:20:53
 AND -- WELL, HE STILL IS BUT HE 

[Captioner] 21:20:55
WAS ABLE TO GET, LIKE 

[Captioner] 21:20:56
COUNCILMEMBER SALWAN SAID, THEY 

[Captioner] 21:21:00
DO A BETTER JOB OF PROVIDING 

[Captioner] 21:21:01
SHELTER ON THE EAST COAST, NEW 

[Captioner] 21:21:03
YORK, WASHINGTON, D.C, YOU KNOW 

[Captioner] 21:21:05
HE GOT A LITTLE TINY HOME KIND 

[Captioner] 21:21:08
OF A PLACE THAT CALIFORNIA QUITE 

[Captioner] 21:21:09
FRANKLY HASN'T REALLY CAUGHT UP 

[Captioner] 21:21:10
WITH.

[Captioner] 21:21:14
AND SO I UNDERSTAND THE 

[Captioner] 21:21:16
COMPLICATIONS OF WHAT IT  MEANS 

[Captioner] 21:21:19
-- IMPLICATIONS OF WHAT IT MEANS 

[Captioner] 21:21:21
TO DO HOUSING FIRST MODEL  .

[Captioner] 21:21:24
I'M NOT SURE THAT I COMPLETELY 

[Captioner] 21:21:26
AGREE WITH COUNCILMEMBER YANG 

[Captioner] 21:21:28
SHAO BECAUSE IF THEY'RE ON OUR 

[Captioner] 21:21:29
STREETS AND THEY'RE LIVING ON 

[Captioner] 21:21:31
OUR STREETS REGARDLESS OF WHERE 

[Captioner] 21:21:33
THEY CAME FROM, THEY BECAME OUR 

[Captioner] 21:21:33
PROBLEM.

[Captioner] 21:21:35
AND SO WE HAVE TO BE ABLE TO 

[Captioner] 21:21:39
SERVE ANYONE HAS UNSHELTERED, 

[Captioner] 21:21:40
BECAUSE THEY'RE ON OUR STREETS 

[Captioner] 21:21:42
AND THEY'RE IN OUR CITY.

[Captioner] 21:21:45
AND WE WERE ELECTED TO PROTECT 

[Captioner] 21:21:46
OUR CITY.

[Captioner] 21:21:48
REGARDLESS OF WHERE WE SORT OF 

[Captioner] 21:21:50
CAME FROM.

[Captioner] 21:21:54
AND I KNOW THAT I'M NOT IN FAVOR

[Captioner] 21:21:56
 OF, YOU KNOW, PUTTING PEOPLE IN 

[Captioner] 21:22:01
JAIL, OR

[Captioner] 21:22:03
 NOT OFFERING THEM SOME 

[Captioner] 21:22:06
ALTERNATIVES TO BEING ON THE 

[Captioner] 21:22:06
STREETS.

[Captioner] 21:22:10
AND I ALSO RECOGNIZE THAT IT'S A 

[Captioner] 21:22:12
VERY, VERY DIFFICULT PROBLEM.

[Captioner] 21:22:14
SO I THANK YOU FOR ALL THAT 

[Captioner] 21:22:14
YOU'RE DOING.

[Captioner] 21:22:16
I DON'T HAVE ANY REAL ANSWERS 

[Captioner] 21:22:17
FOR IT RIGHT NOW.

[Captioner] 21:22:19
BUT I DO BELIEVE THAT WE NEED TO 

[Captioner] 21:22:21
TAKE CARE OF EVERYONE WHO IS  

[Captioner] 21:22:23
UNSHELTERED, THAT IS LIVING IN 

[Captioner] 21:22:25
OUR CITY.

[Captioner] 21:22:28
AND WHATEVER I CAN DO TO HELP, 

[Captioner] 21:22:30
FOR SUPPORT, PLEASE LET ME 

[Captioner] 21:22:30
KNOW.

[Captioner] 21:22:30
THANKS.

[Captioner] 21:22:33
>> Mayor Mei:   THANK YOU, VICE 

[Captioner] 21:22:33
MAYOR.

[Captioner] 21:22:37
NEXT IS COUNCILMEMBER SALWAN.

[Captioner] 21:22:37
>> Councilmember Salwan:   THESE 

[Captioner] 21:22:40
ARE THREE ITEMS, WHEN DO THEY 

[Captioner] 21:22:44
COME BACK TO COUNCIL?

[Captioner] 21:22:49
>> SO AS NOTED, WE WOULD INTEND 

[Captioner] 21:22:51
TO RETURN WITH THE 72-HOUR  

[Captioner] 21:22:52
PARKING REVISION IN OCTOBER AND 

[Captioner] 21:22:54
KNOWN THE OTHER ITEMS AS THEY 

[Captioner] 21:22:54
ARE FINISHED.

[Captioner] 21:22:56
>> Councilmember Salwan:   OKAY, 

[Captioner] 21:22:57
THANK YOU.

[Captioner] 21:22:59
WELL THANK YOU FOR THE REPORT.

[Captioner] 21:23:01
YOU KNOW, THIS IS DEFINITELY A 

[Captioner] 21:23:04
VERY CHALLENGING ISSUE.

[Captioner] 21:23:06
OF ALL THE ISSUES HOMELESSNESS 

[Captioner] 21:23:09
IS PROBABLY THE MOST DIFFICULT.

[Captioner] 21:23:12
DEFINITELY WE NEED MORE 

[Captioner] 21:23:12
HOUSING.

[Captioner] 21:23:13
BUILDING AFFORDABLE HOUSING 

[Captioner] 21:23:14
TAKES A LONG LONG TIME SO I 

[Captioner] 21:23:17
THINK SHELTER HOUSING IS WHERE 

[Captioner] 21:23:19
IT IS AT, AS A SOCIETY AND AS A 

[Captioner] 21:23:21
CITY WE NEED TO BUILT A LOT MORE 

[Captioner] 21:23:22
SHELTER HOUSING.

[Captioner] 21:23:25
ONCE YOU GET PEOPLE INSIDE YOU 

[Captioner] 21:23:26
CAN HELP ADDRESS ALL THE 

[Captioner] 21:23:27
DIFFERENT CHALLENGES THEY FACE.

[Captioner] 21:23:29
WHETHER IT'S ADDICTION, MENTAL 

[Captioner] 21:23:31
HEALTH, SUPPORT SERVICES, 

[Captioner] 21:23:32
DISABILITY BENEFITS, JOB 

[Captioner] 21:23:33
TRAINING AND TRY TO CREATE A 

[Captioner] 21:23:34
PATH FOR PERMANENT HOUSING.

[Captioner] 21:23:37
AND SO I THINK THAT'S THE 

[Captioner] 21:23:38
BIGGEST THING THAT WE NEED TO 

[Captioner] 21:23:38
WORK ON.

[Captioner] 21:23:40
THE OTHER IS MENTAL HEALTH.

[Captioner] 21:23:41
THAT IS A HUGE ISSUE.

[Captioner] 21:23:43
AS A SOCIETY WE'VE BEEN  

[Captioner] 21:23:45
UNDERFUNDING MENTAL HEALTH FOR 

[Captioner] 21:23:47
DECADES SO WE DEFINITELY NEED TO 

[Captioner] 21:23:50
INCREASE THAT AT ALL LEVELS, 

[Captioner] 21:23:52
LOCAL COUNTY STATE AND FEDERAL 

[Captioner] 21:23:53
LEVEL.

[Captioner] 21:23:54
AS FAR AS, YOU KNOW, IT'S NOT A 

[Captioner] 21:23:57
CRIME TO BE HOMELESS SO WE DO 

[Captioner] 21:23:58
HAVE TO BE BALANCED.

[Captioner] 21:23:59
THESE ARE FOLKS THAT ARE HERE.

[Captioner] 21:24:02
IF WE JUST TRY TO PUSH THEM FROM 

[Captioner] 21:24:04
ONE PLACE THEY'LL JUST GO TO 

[Captioner] 21:24:06
ANOTHER PLACE SO WE HAVE TO BE 

[Captioner] 21:24:07
RESPONSIBLE AND ADDRESS THE 

[Captioner] 21:24:08
IMPACT.

[Captioner] 21:24:10
WE ALSO NEED TO BUY IN FROM OUR 

[Captioner] 21:24:10
COMMUNITY.

[Captioner] 21:24:12
SO IT'S IMPORTANT THAT WE REDUCE 

[Captioner] 21:24:15
THE IMPACTS TO THE COMMUNITY.

[Captioner] 21:24:17
ESPECIALLY WHEN THERE IS 

[Captioner] 21:24:19
INTERFACES WITH COMMUNITY 

[Captioner] 21:24:20
MEMBERS OR OUR SCHOOLS OR PUBLIC 

[Captioner] 21:24:21
PLACES.

[Captioner] 21:24:22
BECAUSE IF WE WANT TO HAVE A 

[Captioner] 21:24:24
VIABLE PROGRAM WE NEED TO MAKE 

[Captioner] 21:24:25
SURE THAT THE COMMUNITY ALSO 

[Captioner] 21:24:27
SUPPORTS THE INITIATIVES AND THE 

[Captioner] 21:24:28
EFFORTS THAT WE ARE DOING.

[Captioner] 21:24:30
SO I THINK WE NEED A BALANCED 

[Captioner] 21:24:31
APPROACH THAT WE ADDRESS THE 

[Captioner] 21:24:33
ISSUE BUT WE ALSO MONITOR THE 

[Captioner] 21:24:35
IMPACTS AND WE WORK WITH OUR 

[Captioner] 21:24:36
COMMUNITY TO GET THEIR SUPPORT.

[Captioner] 21:24:38
SO THANK YOU AGAIN AND SINCE 

[Captioner] 21:24:40
THERE'S NO ACTION WE'LL WAIT FOR 

[Captioner] 21:24:41
FURTHER ITEMS TO COME BACK.

[Captioner] 21:24:42
THANK YOU.

[Captioner] 21:24:46

CG H.

[Captioner] 21:24:50
>> Councilmember Keng:   THANK 

[Captioner] 21:24:52
YOU MAYOR AND THANK YOU FOR THIS 

[Captioner] 21:24:53
VERY CHALLENGING ISSUE.

[Captioner] 21:24:55
I DO UNDERSTAND THAT FREMONT IN 

[Captioner] 21:24:56
2016 WE WERE A COMPASSIONATE 

[Captioner] 21:25:00
CITY AND WE STILL ARE ONE.

[Captioner] 21:25:02
AND MY HUSBAND IS A VETERAN.

[Captioner] 21:25:04
AND I KNOW THAT, YOU KNOW, THE 

[Captioner] 21:25:05
VETERANS ARE A SIGNIFICANT 

[Captioner] 21:25:08
POPULATION, PERCENTAGE OF THE 

[Captioner] 21:25:10
HOMELESS POPULATION BECAUSE OF, 

[Captioner] 21:25:11
YOU KNOW, THE DIFFICULTIES OF 

[Captioner] 21:25:13
TRYING TO GET THE RESOURCES THEY 

[Captioner] 21:25:14
NEED.

[Captioner] 21:25:16
IT'S A LOT OF TIMES IT'S LIKE 

[Captioner] 21:25:17
JUMPING THROUGH HIGH SCHOOLS AND 

[Captioner] 21:25:19
A LOT OF THEM ENDED UP ON THE 

[Captioner] 21:25:20
STREETS.

[Captioner] 21:25:21
AND -- BUT AT THE SAME TIME YOU 

[Captioner] 21:25:25
KNOW WITH THESE STAFF 

[Captioner] 21:25:27
RECOMMENDED MEASURES THAT WE'RE 

[Captioner] 21:25:30
ABOUT TO TAKE, I HAD VISITED 

[Captioner] 21:25:33
SOME OF THE ENCAMPMENT SITES IN 

[Captioner] 21:25:36
NORTH FREMONT, ARDENWOOD, WE ARE 

[Captioner] 21:25:40
THE NORTH MOST KIND OF BORDER OF 

[Captioner] 21:25:43
FREMONT WHERE IT'S LIKE HARDER 

[Captioner] 21:25:44
TO REACH FROM THE POLICE 

[Captioner] 21:25:47
DEPARTMENT, WHEN THERE'S 

[Captioner] 21:25:47
ISSUES.

[Captioner] 21:25:50
AND WE HAVE SOME ENCAMPMENTS 

[Captioner] 21:25:52
THERE WHERE FIRES ARE BEING 

[Captioner] 21:25:54
STARTED RIGHT NEXT TO HOMES.

[Captioner] 21:25:58
AND IT WAS -- BECAME LIKE A HUGE 

[Captioner] 21:26:00
GULF OF FIRES RIGHT BEHIND A 

[Captioner] 21:26:02
BACKYARD WHERE KIDS WERE  

[Captioner] 21:26:02
PLAYING.

[Captioner] 21:26:04
AND THERE WERE, YOU KNOW, PEOPLE 

[Captioner] 21:26:07
THAT WERE GETTING INTO LIKE THE 

[Captioner] 21:26:09
NEIGHBORHOODS AND KIND OF 

[Captioner] 21:26:10
HARASSING THE RESIDENTS THERE.

[Captioner] 21:26:13
SO, YOU KNOW, WE DO NEED A 

[Captioner] 21:26:15
BALANCED APPROACH AS PREVIOUSLY 

[Captioner] 21:26:17
STATED, THAT WE DO NEED TO 

[Captioner] 21:26:20
CONSIDER THE IMPACT TO THE 

[Captioner] 21:26:22
COMMUNITY AND MAKE SURE THAT, 

[Captioner] 21:26:24
YOU KNOW, THE COMMUNITY SAFETY 

[Captioner] 21:26:28
ARE ALSO BEING CONSIDERED.

[Captioner] 21:26:32
SO I THINK, YOU KNOW, WE DO WANT

[Captioner] 21:26:35
 TO STILL MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE 

[Captioner] 21:26:37
FINDING AND BUILDING ALL THE 

[Captioner] 21:26:41
 AFFORDABLE HOUSING, ALL THE LOW 

[Captioner] 21:26:42
INCOME HOUSING AND SHELTERS THAT 

[Captioner] 21:26:44
WE HAVE BEEN BUILDING OWN AND 

[Captioner] 21:26:45
CONTINUE TO ADVOCATE FOR THOSE 

[Captioner] 21:26:46
PROGRAMS.

[Captioner] 21:26:48
I THINK THAT, YOU KNOW, WE NEED 

[Captioner] 21:26:50
TO -- I KNOW THAT OUR MET TEAM 

[Captioner] 21:26:52
HAVE BEEN DOING A GREAT JOB 

[Captioner] 21:26:54
APPROACHING AND OFFERING THOSE 

[Captioner] 21:26:57
SHELTER OPTIONS FOR DIFFERENT 

[Captioner] 21:27:00
FOLKS, AND I DON'T KNOW, I THINK 

[Captioner] 21:27:01
THERE'S, YOU KNOW, PEOPLE THAT 

[Captioner] 21:27:04
DON'T WANT TO TAKE THOSE  

[Captioner] 21:27:06
SHELTERING OPTIONS.

[Captioner] 21:27:09
SO THAT'S PROBABLY THE MOST 

[Captioner] 21:27:11
DIFFICULT PIECES THAT -- OF THE 

[Captioner] 21:27:13
PUZZLE THAT WE'RE STILL TRYING 

[Captioner] 21:27:14
TO SOLVE.

[Captioner] 21:27:18
SO I THINK WE -- YEAH, THERE'S

[Captioner] 21:27:22
 A DIFFERENT EDGES OF THE SWORD 

[Captioner] 21:27:23
THAT WE ARE TRYING TO SOLVE HERE 

[Captioner] 21:27:28
BUT I APPRECIATE THE -- ALL

[Captioner] 21:27:32
 THE ADVOCACIES, WE NEED TO

[Captioner] 21:27:34
 MAKE SURE THAT THE HOUSING 

[Captioner] 21:27:36
OPTIONS ARE BEING OFFERED AND 

[Captioner] 21:27:37
OUR SAFE  PARKING PROGRAMS ARE 

[Captioner] 21:27:41
STILL BEING OFFERED AND CONTINUE 

[Captioner] 21:27:44
TO I THINK THAT WE HAVE SOME NEW 

[Captioner] 21:27:45
CHURCHES THAT ARE OFFERING THEIR 

[Captioner] 21:27:48
SITES FOR SAFE PARKING, SO 

[Captioner] 21:27:50
THAT'S A GOOD SIGN THAT WE'RE 

[Captioner] 21:27:52
MAKING SURE THAT THOSE OPTIONS 

[Captioner] 21:27:56
ARE BEING OFFERED.

[Captioner] 21:27:59
SO I DO APPRECIATE ALL THE THE 

[Captioner] 21:28:01
EFFORTS OUT THERE.

[Captioner] 21:28:03
BUT AT THE SAME TIME MAKING SURE 

[Captioner] 21:28:06
THAT WE ARE HEARING ALL THE 

[Captioner] 21:28:07
CONCERNS COMING FROM ALL SIDES.

[Captioner] 21:28:11

THANK YOU, MAYOR MEI.

[Captioner] 21:28:19
SOME THINGS I WANTED TO SHARE 

[Captioner] 21:28:19
WITH YOU.

[Captioner] 21:28:21
I'M GLAD THIS IS INFORMATIONAL, 

[Captioner] 21:28:23
IT GIVES US TIME TO LEARN MORE 

[Captioner] 21:28:25
AND TALK MORE WITH OUR  

[Captioner] 21:28:25
COMMUNITY.

[Captioner] 21:28:29
LAST NIGHT I ATTENDED AN EVENT 

[Captioner] 21:28:31
AT WASHINGTON HOSPITAL, IT WAS 

[Captioner] 21:28:34
HOSTED BY WASHINGTON HOSPITAL 

[Captioner] 21:28:37
AND HALLERS AND AAUW.

[Captioner] 21:28:40
THERE WAS A GENTLEMAN THERE THAT 

[Captioner] 21:28:42
WAS TOLLING US ABOUT THE PROGRAM 

[Captioner] 21:28:43
WORKING WITH WASHINGTON  

[Captioner] 21:28:45
HOSPITAL, PEOPLE WHO COME IN WHO 

[Captioner] 21:28:49
ARE OVERDOSING OR ON OPIOIDS OR

[Captioner] 21:28:51
 DRUGS, WHEN THEY GO THERE 

[Captioner] 21:28:54
INSTEAD OF BEING TREATED AS A 

[Captioner] 21:28:55
MEDICAL PATIENT THEY GET 

[Captioner] 21:28:58
ADDITIONAL HELP, THEY GET HANDS 

[Captioner] 21:28:59
ON WITH HUME.

[Captioner] 21:29:01
THERE IS ONE GENTLEMAN HE TOLD 

[Captioner] 21:29:03
US ABOUT THAT USED TO LAY ON THE 

[Captioner] 21:29:05
SIDEWALK, COME IN SEVERAL TIMES 

[Captioner] 21:29:09
A DAY, IT WAS JUST A VICIOUS 

[Captioner] 21:29:09
CYCLE.

[Captioner] 21:29:12
HE NOW HAS A FULL TIME JOB, GOT 

[Captioner] 21:29:14
THE RESOURCES THAT WAS NEEDED.

[Captioner] 21:29:15
THAT'S A PROCESS THAT IS GOING 

[Captioner] 21:29:17
ON, THE MET TEAM AS 

[Captioner] 21:29:19
COUNCILMEMBER KENG SAID, IS DONG 

[Captioner] 21:29:20
A REALLY GOOD JOB.

[Captioner] 21:29:21
BUT I THINK THERE IS ANOTHER 

[Captioner] 21:29:22
PIECE OF THIS PIE THAT WE NEED 

[Captioner] 21:29:25
TO TALK ABOUT AND I'D LIKE TO 

[Captioner] 21:29:26
TALK WITH FREMONT FOR EVERYONE 

[Captioner] 21:29:27
ABOUT IT.

[Captioner] 21:29:29
THE BUSINESSES, I'VE SPOKEN TO 

[Captioner] 21:29:31
THE PEOPLE IN IRVINGTON, IT IS 

[Captioner] 21:29:32
REALLY DIFFICULT TO HAVE A 

[Captioner] 21:29:34
VIBRANT BUSINESS IN IRVINGTON OF 

[Captioner] 21:29:37
THE HAIR SALON THERE, THEY'RE 

[Captioner] 21:29:39
ALWAYS, PEOPLE ARE JUST DOING 

[Captioner] 21:29:40
DRUGS RIGHTS AT THE FRONT DOOR.

[Captioner] 21:29:42
AND HOW DO YOU -- THAT'S GOING 

[Captioner] 21:29:43
TO SCARE SOME PEOPLE AWAY FROM 

[Captioner] 21:29:45
GOING THERE TO GET THEIR HAIR 

[Captioner] 21:29:45
DONE.

[Captioner] 21:29:47
THE COFFEE SHOP THERE JUST HAD 

[Captioner] 21:29:49
THEIR WINDOW BROKEN OUT BUSTED 

[Captioner] 21:29:53
OUT AND IT WAS GOING TO COST HER

[Captioner] 21:29:56
 DEDUCTIBLE IS LIKE A THOUSAND, 

[Captioner] 21:29:57
TWO THOUSAND.

[Captioner] 21:29:59
AND IT'S REPEATED, REPEATED, 

[Captioner] 21:30:00
REPEATED.

[Captioner] 21:30:02
HOW CAN YOU EXPECT A BUSINESS TO 

[Captioner] 21:30:03
BE VIBRANT.

[Captioner] 21:30:05
I'D LIKE TO HAVE CONVERSATION 

[Captioner] 21:30:07
ABOUT WHAT CONDITIONS ARE 

[Captioner] 21:30:08
IDENTITY THERE, HOPING THEM AS 

[Captioner] 21:30:10
WELL AS THE UNHOUSED.

[Captioner] 21:30:12
I'M GLAD WE HAVE SOME TIME TO 

[Captioner] 21:30:14
DID SOME MORE WORK ON THIS.

[Captioner] 21:30:14
THANK YOU.

[Captioner] 21:30:15
>> Mayor Mei:   THANK YOU.

[Captioner] 21:30:18
I APPRECIATE THAT ALL OF OUR 

[Captioner] 21:30:20
STAFF IS HERE AND THE COMMUNITY 

[Captioner] 21:30:22
MEMBERS WHO HAVE COME AND SHARED 

[Captioner] 21:30:22
THEIR FEEDBACK.

[Captioner] 21:30:24
I HAD ASKED FOR THIS AGENDA ITEM 

[Captioner] 21:30:26
BECAUSE I HAD SEEN THE DIFFERENT 

[Captioner] 21:30:30
ARTICLES THAT HAVE COME OUT AND 

[Captioner] 21:30:34
 AND I DO THINK WE

[Captioner] 21:30:36
 ARE A COMPASSIONATE CITY.

[Captioner] 21:30:40
WE HAVE APPLIED FOR PROJECT HOME

[Captioner] 21:30:42
 HOMEKEY THREE DIFFERENT TIMES.

[Captioner] 21:30:44
IT IS FRUSTRATED THAT WE HAVE 

[Captioner] 21:30:46
BEEN BYPASSED FROM THOSE 

[Captioner] 21:30:47
PROJECTS TIME AFTER TIME.

[Captioner] 21:30:49
I WAS THERE ASKING FOR THE 

[Captioner] 21:30:52
MEASURE FOR THE FUDGED FOR A-1 

[Captioner] 21:30:55
AND ALSO OTHER HOMELESSNESS 

[Captioner] 21:30:55
MEASURES.

[Captioner] 21:30:58
SO IT IS NOT FOR A LACK, IT IS A 

[Captioner] 21:30:59
MULTIPRONGED APPROACH AND THERE 

[Captioner] 21:31:02
ARE A LOT OF WAYS TO HANDLE IT.

[Captioner] 21:31:06
I DEFINITELY FEEL THIS

[Captioner] 21:31:08
 PROGRAM IS IMPORTANT.

[Captioner] 21:31:10
WE'VE WORKED CLOSELY WITH HUD 

[Captioner] 21:31:11
AND SOMETIMES IT DOES TAKE 

[Captioner] 21:31:12
TIME.

[Captioner] 21:31:14
I WISHED WE HAD SUPERPOWERS AND 

[Captioner] 21:31:16
COULD MAKE SOME OF THESE POLICY 

[Captioner] 21:31:17
DECISIONS HAPPEN BUT A LOT OF 

[Captioner] 21:31:19
THEM HAVE BEEN CRITICAL, SUCH AS 

[Captioner] 21:31:22
THE VETERANS, HOISTING FOR THAT, 

[Captioner] 21:31:24
HOMELESSNESS VOUCHERS OR THE 

[Captioner] 21:31:25
HOUSING ELIGIBILITY.

[Captioner] 21:31:27
IT'S GETTING THE VOICE AND THE 

[Captioner] 21:31:28
COLLABORATION TO MIKE THOSE 

[Captioner] 21:31:29
DIFFERENCES.

[Captioner] 21:31:32
-- TO MAKE THOSE DIFFERENCES.

[Captioner] 21:31:36
 I DO WANT TO THANK OUR FOAL

[Captioner] 21:31:39
 MAYORS, WHEN YOU HAVE MAYORS 

[Captioner] 21:31:41
WHO REPRESENT 15,000 PEOPLE, YOU 

[Captioner] 21:31:43
CAN GET MORE INTEREST FROM 

[Captioner] 21:31:46
CONGRESS AND OTHER PEOPLE, TO 

[Captioner] 21:31:48
MAKE MORE PEOPLE ELIGIBLE FOR 

[Captioner] 21:31:49
THE PROGRAMS AND GIVE US THE 

[Captioner] 21:31:50
FUNDING THAT WE NEED.

[Captioner] 21:31:52
I KNOW THE QUESTION CAME, 

[Captioner] 21:31:54
BELIEVE ME FOR THOSE WHO ARE NOT 

[Captioner] 21:31:56
HERE FOR DISCUSSIONS OF THE  

[Captioner] 21:31:58
HOMELESS NAVIGATION CENTER, WE 

[Captioner] 21:32:00
LOOKED AT OVER SINGLE PROPERTY 

[Captioner] 21:32:02
THAT THE CITY HAD AND FOR THOSE 

[Captioner] 21:32:06
WHO WON'T HERE, WE HAD OVER 3

[Captioner] 21:32:08
 3,000 SPEAKERS.

[Captioner] 21:32:10
EVERYBODY WANTS A SOLUTION, 

[Captioner] 21:32:11
YIERLDLY NOT NEAR ME.

[Captioner] 21:32:13
THAT'S HOW WE ENDED UP WITH THE 

[Captioner] 21:32:14
HOUSING NAVIGATION CENTER WHERE 

[Captioner] 21:32:15
IT IS.

[Captioner] 21:32:18
I'M PROUD OF THAT DECISION AND 

[Captioner] 21:32:20
EVEN THOUGH IT'S A DIFFICULT ONE 

[Captioner] 21:32:25
IT IS AT CITY HALL, AND WE'VE 

[Captioner] 21:32:27
HAD SAFE PARKING WE'VE ALSO HAD 

[Captioner] 21:32:28
THE ENCAMPMENT CLEANUPS, I DON'T 

[Captioner] 21:32:30
THINK YOU HAD THE FIGURES TODAY 

[Captioner] 21:32:31
LAURIE BUT THE AMOUNT OF MONEY 

[Captioner] 21:32:33
THAT WE PUT INTO THAT AND THE 

[Captioner] 21:32:35
AMOUNT OF PICKUPS, I KNOW THAT 

[Captioner] 21:32:37
FOR THOSE WHO DON'T KNOW, AS WE 

[Captioner] 21:32:40
MENTIONED EARLIER, IT'S A MOLE 

[Captioner] 21:32:42
SCHEDULE AND I'VE HAD THE 

[Captioner] 21:32:44
OPPORTUNITY TO GO ALONG ON THOSE 

[Captioner] 21:32:46
RIDE ALONGS TO PARTICIPATE IN 

[Captioner] 21:32:50
THOSE AS WELL AS I KNOW THAT 

[Captioner] 21:32:50
COUNCILMEMBER CAMPBELL KNOWS 

[Captioner] 21:32:53
THIS STORY THAT WHEN WE TALKED 

[Captioner] 21:32:55
ABOUT HAMPTON PLACE AFTERWARDS, 

[Captioner] 21:32:58
I LITERALLY WAS BACK THERE, I 

[Captioner] 21:33:00
KNOW IT WAS CONNECTED TO THE 

[Captioner] 21:33:02
WATER DISTRICTS, I WAS OUT THERE 

[Captioner] 21:33:04
AT NIGHT AFTER OUR COUNCIL 

[Captioner] 21:33:04
MEETING.

[Captioner] 21:33:06
WITH THE IRVINGTON AREA, WHETHER 

[Captioner] 21:33:10
IT IS GREEN PARK OR  

[Captioner] 21:33:12
HORNER-HIRSCH, CABRILLO AND 

[Captioner] 21:33:14
OTHER AREAS, IT IS ANOTHER ONE, 

[Captioner] 21:33:18
I DO APPRECIATE EVERYONE COMING 

[Captioner] 21:33:20
AT A WHETHER IT IS FREMONT FOR 

[Captioner] 21:33:24
EVERYONE OR EVERYONE'S PROJECT 

[Captioner] 21:33:27
TO DEAL WITH, THE GROWTH OF THE 

[Captioner] 21:33:27
STATE OF CALIFORNIA, WHEN I 

[Captioner] 21:33:29
STARTED WITH THE COUNCIL WHEN WE 

[Captioner] 21:33:31
DID THE POINT IN TIME COUNTS, IT 

[Captioner] 21:33:33
HAS GROWN, IT IS NOT BECAUSE IT 

[Captioner] 21:33:35
IS A FREMONT PROBLEM OR WE'VE 

[Captioner] 21:33:37
OFFERED SERVICES, THE STATE OF 

[Captioner] 21:33:38
CALIFORNIA HAS SEEN A TREMENDOUS 

[Captioner] 21:33:38
INCREASE.

[Captioner] 21:33:40
I MEAN IT'S A HAPPY PLACE AND 

[Captioner] 21:33:43
IT'S A SAFE PLACE AND THAT'S WHY 

[Captioner] 21:33:45
PEOPLE WANT TO BE WHERE YOU HAVE 

[Captioner] 21:33:45
GOOD SERVICES.

[Captioner] 21:33:47
SO WE HAVE TO BALANCE THOSE WITH 

[Captioner] 21:33:48
THE SAFETY AND SERVICES THAT WE 

[Captioner] 21:33:49
NEED FOR OUR CHILDREN.

[Captioner] 21:33:51
I DO THINK STRONGLY AND WE'VE 

[Captioner] 21:33:54
TALKED ABOUT THE POLICY COMING 

[Captioner] 21:33:59
BACK IN DIFFERENT STAGES.

[Captioner] 21:34:03
BUT THERE'S PLACES WHERE WE HAVE 

[Captioner] 21:34:04
ALREADY HAD A PROBLEM WITH 

[Captioner] 21:34:06
HEADQUARTERS WASTE, AND BECAUSE 

[Captioner] 21:34:08
THAT CURVE IS A BLIND CURVE, 

[Captioner] 21:34:11
BECAUSE THAT PLACE IS, WE HAVE 

[Captioner] 21:34:13
ALREADY DAY LIGHTING LAWS, I 

[Captioner] 21:34:15
DON'T KNOW THE PEOPLE THAT 

[Captioner] 21:34:18
WORSHIP THERE OR WORK THERE, 

[Captioner] 21:34:20
WOULD AGREE WITH ME, I WOULD BE 

[Captioner] 21:34:21
HAPPY TO MAKE THAT BAN FOR ALL 

[Captioner] 21:34:22
PARKING.

[Captioner] 21:34:24
THAT IS SOMETHING WE CAN DO 

[Captioner] 21:34:25
IMMEDIATELY.

[Captioner] 21:34:27
IT DOESN'T COST MONEY, WE PAINT 

[Captioner] 21:34:28
THE CURB RED.

[Captioner] 21:34:33
IF YOU PARK THERE

[Captioner] 21:34:37
 YOU CAN'T, THAT FOUNTAIN IF

[Captioner] 21:34:39
 NOBODY NEEDS TO CLEAN IT UP, I 

[Captioner] 21:34:40
FLO THE PROPERTY OWNER IS NOT 

[Captioner] 21:34:44
HERE, WE FILL IT WITH CONCRETE, 

[Captioner] 21:34:46
AT LEAST THERE IS NO HAZARDOUS 

[Captioner] 21:34:48
WASTE IN THERE, WORSE CASE, 

[Captioner] 21:34:49
PLANT A GARDEN IN THERE.

[Captioner] 21:34:51
RIGHT NOW IT IS NOT ACCEPTABLE 

[Captioner] 21:34:52
FOR CHILDREN AND COMMUNITY 

[Captioner] 21:34:53
MEMBERS.

[Captioner] 21:34:55
SO FOR WHAT IT'S WORTH I KNOW 

[Captioner] 21:34:58
THE WATER, THE FIRE HYDRANT NEAR 

[Captioner] 21:34:59
YOU WAS TAPPED SO THAT'S WHY I 

[Captioner] 21:35:01
FILLED OUT THE REQUEST.

[Captioner] 21:35:03
BUT THINGS LIKE THAT WE ALL 

[Captioner] 21:35:04
COLLECTIVELY CAN HELP.

[Captioner] 21:35:06
IT DOESN'T SEEM LIKE IT FOR ALL 

[Captioner] 21:35:09
OF YOU WHO HAVEN'T USED OUR 

[Captioner] 21:35:10
FREMONT APP.

[Captioner] 21:35:12
I GET THE CALLS, SEND ME THE 

[Captioner] 21:35:15
PICTURES, WHETHER IT'S FACEBOOK 

[Captioner] 21:35:18
MESSENGER, YOU CALL ME PERMLY, 

[Captioner] 21:35:20
THE BEST WAY IS THE FREMONT APP, 

[Captioner] 21:35:24
I WISH I HAD A MAGIC WAND, IT 

[Captioner] 21:35:25
DOESN'T HAPPEN THAT WAY.

[Captioner] 21:35:29
ALL EYES ALL HANDS ALL HEARTS 

[Captioner] 21:35:31
ARE WHAT IT NEEDS.

[Captioner] 21:35:34
WE WELCOME YOUR HANDS AND YOUR 

[Captioner] 21:35:34
HEARTS.

[Captioner] 21:35:37
THERE WAS AN ANNUAL NILES TOWN 

[Captioner] 21:35:39
CLEANUP, I DIDN'T SEE IT THERE, 

[Captioner] 21:35:41
I WAS ACTUALLY LOOKING FOR THE 

[Captioner] 21:35:43
PEOPLE BUT THESE TYPES OF 

[Captioner] 21:35:44
PROJECTS I KNOW WE HAVE SCOUTS 

[Captioner] 21:35:45
WE HAVE COMMUNITY MEMBERS WE 

[Captioner] 21:35:46
HAVE YOUTH.

[Captioner] 21:35:48
IF YOU COULD JOIN US, THAT WOULD 

[Captioner] 21:35:48
BE TREMENDOUS.

[Captioner] 21:35:51
I MEAN IF WE'RE GOING TO WALK 

[Captioner] 21:35:53
THE WALK, TALK THE TALK, KNOWN 

[Captioner] 21:35:54
WORK WITH US TOGETHER ON THIS.

[Captioner] 21:35:56
SO IT'S A MULTIPRONG APPROACH.

[Captioner] 21:35:58
THE WE COULD DOUGH SOME OF THESE 

[Captioner] 21:36:00
SMALL STEPS FIRST, ESPECIALLY 

[Captioner] 21:36:01
NEAR THE SCHOOL DISTRICT AND 

[Captioner] 21:36:02
SOME OF THE SCHOOLS THAT IS 

[Captioner] 21:36:03
IMPORTANT TO ME BECAUSE I FEEL 

[Captioner] 21:36:05
LIKE WE HAVE THESE SAFE ROUTES 

[Captioner] 21:36:07
TO SCHOOL AND I DON'T SEE HANDS 

[Captioner] 21:36:08
IN THE AUDIENCE RIGHT THOUSAND 

[Captioner] 21:36:10
BUT WHEN WE ARE UPDATING THOSE I 

[Captioner] 21:36:12
KNOW THERE WAS SOME THAT WERE 

[Captioner] 21:36:13
MISSED PRIOR BECAUSE THE SCHOOLS 

[Captioner] 21:36:17
HADN'T BEEN COMPLETED LIKE LILA 

[Captioner] 21:36:21
 BRINGHURST, SOME THAT ARE NEW 

[Captioner] 21:36:22
SINCE THEN.

[Captioner] 21:36:24
THE SCHOOL DISTRICT AND OUR 

[Captioner] 21:36:25
PARKS AND LIBRARIES, WE NEED TO 

[Captioner] 21:36:27
HAVE THEM SAFELY AND PEOPLE TO 

[Captioner] 21:36:28
HAVE THAT ACCESSING.

[Captioner] 21:36:30
IT IS A BENEFIT WE NEED TO HAVE 

[Captioner] 21:36:32
FOR OUR COMMUNE.

[Captioner] 21:36:33
I APPRECIATE MY COUNCILMEMBERS 

[Captioner] 21:36:37
FOR JOINING ME FOR THIS 

[Captioner] 21:36:38
CONVERSATION.

[Captioner] 21:36:39
WHETHER IT'S OUR HEALTH AND 

[Captioner] 21:36:41
HUMAN SERVICES, OUR PUBLIC 

[Captioner] 21:36:43
SAFETY AND THANK YOU CHIEF BUT I 

[Captioner] 21:36:44
KNOW IN PARTICULAR JUST TO LET 

[Captioner] 21:36:46
YOU FLO BESIDES THE FIRE PIECE 

[Captioner] 21:36:48
THERE HAVE BEEN A COUPLE OF INS 

[Captioner] 21:36:53
DOANSES I NOE OF WHERE PEOPLE 

[Captioner] 21:36:53
HAVE WEAPONS AND OTHER THINGS 

[Captioner] 21:36:57
THAT HAVE THAT I'M WORRIED 

[Captioner] 21:36:59
ABOUT, WE NEED TO ENFORCE IF 

[Captioner] 21:37:01
SOMEBODY IS UNSTABLE AND HAS A 

[Captioner] 21:37:02
WEAPON THAT IS SOMETHING WE NEED 

[Captioner] 21:37:04
TO TAKE CARE OF IMMEDIATELY.

[Captioner] 21:37:05
SO AGAIN THANK YOU FOR THE 

[Captioner] 21:37:07
PATIENCE FROM THE PUBLIC, THANK 

[Captioner] 21:37:08
YOU FOR YOUR VOICE.

[Captioner] 21:37:09
IT IS URGENT.

[Captioner] 21:37:11
IT IS NOT A LACK OF CARE.

[Captioner] 21:37:13
IT IS JUST UNFORTUNATELY I WISH 

[Captioner] 21:37:17
WE HAD A MAGIC WAND, IT IS NOT 

[Captioner] 21:37:19
SO MUCH -- WE ARE THE SECOND 

[Captioner] 21:37:23
LARGEST CITY IN THE BAY AREA, BY 

[Captioner] 21:37:26
LAND SIZE, SECOND TO SAN JOSE, 

[Captioner] 21:37:28
WE HAVE COUNCIL AND PEOPLE THAT 

[Captioner] 21:37:30
CARE, IT IS ONLY COLLECTIVELY 

[Captioner] 21:37:32
THAT WE CAN SOLVE THIS PROBLEM.

[Captioner] 21:37:33
IT REALLY IS.

[Captioner] 21:37:36

[Captioner] 21:38:15
 WANTED TO PRESENT THAT.

[Captioner] 21:38:18
IT'S A REFERRAL FOR 

[Captioner] 21:38:19
CONSIDERATION OF THE INITIATION 

[Captioner] 21:38:23
OF A CENSURE PROCEEDING.

[Captioner] 21:38:25
SO PLEASE ALLOW ME TO INTRODUCE 

[Captioner] 21:38:27
THIS ITEM.

[Captioner] 21:38:30

A CRITICAL ISSUE THAT I'M ASKING 

[Captioner] 21:38:34
FOR OUR ATTENTION.

[Captioner] 21:38:36
AND THE NEED TO STUDY A 

[Captioner] 21:38:38
POTENTIAL CENSURE.

[Captioner] 21:38:40
THIS MATTER IS NOT DRIVEN BY 

[Captioner] 21:38:43
POLITICAL AGENDA OR ELECTION  

[Captioner] 21:38:46
EARRING, RATHER IT STEMS FROM A 

[Captioner] 21:38:48
FUNCTIONAL BREACH OF OUR  

[Captioner] 21:38:49
COUNCIL'S ESTABLISHED 

[Captioner] 21:38:49
PROTOCOLS.

[Captioner] 21:38:51
OUR COUNCILMEMBER HAS TAILED 

[Captioner] 21:38:53
CONSISTENTLY FAILED TO ADHERE TO 

[Captioner] 21:38:54
THE CITY COUNCIL APPROVED 

[Captioner] 21:38:56
HANDBOOK.

[Captioner] 21:38:57
AS WELL AS THERE WAS ATTACHED 

[Captioner] 21:38:59
GREEN SHEET HANDOUT SUMMARIZING 

[Captioner] 21:39:01
OUR COUNCIL RETREAT FROM 2023 

[Captioner] 21:39:03
REPORT.

[Captioner] 21:39:06
HENCE, UNDERMINING THE VERY 

[Captioner] 21:39:08
PRINCIPLES THAT GUIDE OUR 

[Captioner] 21:39:09
GOVERNANCE.

[Captioner] 21:39:11
WHILE OTHER COUNCILMEMBERS 

[Captioner] 21:39:13
ENGAGE CONSTRUCTIVELY WITH THEIR 

[Captioner] 21:39:14
DISTRICTS AND OUR COUNCIL BODY 

[Captioner] 21:39:16
WORKS TOGETHER TO ADDRESS CITY 

[Captioner] 21:39:19
ISSUES, HOAR ACTIONS HAVE BONE 

[Captioner] 21:39:20
SELF SERVING, LEVERAGING RACE AS 

[Captioner] 21:39:23
A POLITICAL TOOL AND HER  

[Captioner] 21:39:26
OUTREACH TO MEDIA OUTLETS AND 

[Captioner] 21:39:26
VARIOUS COMMITTEES AND THIS 

[Captioner] 21:39:28
PREACH NOT ONLY DISTORTS OUR 

[Captioner] 21:39:31
MISSION BUT ALSO JEOPARDIZES THE 

[Captioner] 21:39:33
UNITY AND CLARITY ESSENTIAL FOR 

[Captioner] 21:39:34
EFFECTIVE GOVERNANCE.

[Captioner] 21:39:37
IF ALL OF OUR COUNCILMEMBERS 

[Captioner] 21:39:39
ADOPTED THIS STANCE, WE WOULD 

[Captioner] 21:39:41
FACE CHAOS AND CONFUSION.

[Captioner] 21:39:44
LEADING TO A FRACTURES MESSAGE 

[Captioner] 21:39:45
TO OUR CONSTITUENTS.

[Captioner] 21:39:49
THIS REFERRAL IS ABOUT ENSURING 

[Captioner] 21:39:51
WE REMAIN FOCUSED ON OUR AGREED 

[Captioner] 21:39:55
UPON OBJECTIVES AND UPHOLD THE 

[Captioner] 21:39:57
INTEGRITY OF OUR COUNCIL WHICH 

[Captioner] 21:39:58
INCLUDES REPRESENTING AND 

[Captioner] 21:40:01
RESPECTING ONE ANOTHER, THE ROLE 

[Captioner] 21:40:03
OF THE MAYOR AND OUR CODES OF 

[Captioner] 21:40:06
CONDUCT.

[Captioner] 21:40:09
ULTIMATELY, THIS CONVERSATION 

[Captioner] 21:40:13
TRAN CENTS RACE, IT IS

[Captioner] 21:40:16
  FUNDMENTLY ABOUT CHARACTER AND 

[Captioner] 21:40:18
ACCOUNTABILITY.

[Captioner] 21:40:21
WE PLUS REMEMBER THAT THE 

[Captioner] 21:40:23
STRENGTH OF OUR COMMUNITY LIES 

[Captioner] 21:40:25
NOT IN THE COLOR OF OUR SKIN BUT 

[Captioner] 21:40:26
IN THE CHARACTER IN WHICH WE 

[Captioner] 21:40:29
SERVE.

[Captioner] 21:40:33
SO WITH THAT, THERE WAS ALSO 

[Captioner] 21:40:34
SOME MINUTES, SO PEOPLE MAY 

[Captioner] 21:40:36
THOUGHT KNOW I HAVE ATTACHED AND 

[Captioner] 21:40:37
I HAD ASKED FOR IT TO BE 

[Captioner] 21:40:39
APPROPRIATED, THE THE COUNCIL 

[Captioner] 21:40:42
HANDBOOK WHICH WAS LAST ADOPTED 

[Captioner] 21:40:43
IN SEPTEMBER OF 23.

[Captioner] 21:40:45
AND WE HAD A RETREAT IN APRIL OF 

[Captioner] 21:40:49
EARLIER THIS YEAR.

[Captioner] 21:40:50
AND I DON'T SEE THE MINUTES FOR 

[Captioner] 21:40:52
THAT YET BUT I WANTED TO SAY 

[Captioner] 21:40:54
THAT I HAD THE GREEN SHEET 

[Captioner] 21:40:56
ATTACHED FOR THE ONE THAT WAS 

[Captioner] 21:40:57
FROM 2023.

[Captioner] 21:41:00
DURING WHICH THERE ARE SEVERAL 

[Captioner] 21:41:02
ITEMS THAT WE HAD AGREED UPON AS 

[Captioner] 21:41:03
A COUNCIL.

[Captioner] 21:41:06
ONE WAS NUMBER -- ITEM NUMBER -- 

[Captioner] 21:41:09
ON PAGE 2 OR ACTUALLY 5 ON THE 

[Captioner] 21:41:11
HANDOUT BUT ITEM NUMBER 2 WHICH 

[Captioner] 21:41:14
IS EMPLOY TECHNIQUES TO RESOLVE 

[Captioner] 21:41:16
DIFFERENCES TO RESPECT THE 

[Captioner] 21:41:16
TIME.

[Captioner] 21:41:18
SO TO ADDRESS THE PROBLEMS AND 

[Captioner] 21:41:22
ISSUES WITH COLLEAGUES, AND AT 

[Captioner] 21:41:25
THAT TIME, WE'D ASKED IF WE 

[Captioner] 21:41:27
COULD SPEAK, NOT ILL OF OUR 

[Captioner] 21:41:29
COUNCILMEMBERS, BUT ALSO, 

[Captioner] 21:41:33
UNDERSTOOD THAT WE WOULD WORK TO 

[Captioner] 21:41:35
REFLECT ON THE COUNCIL'S AND AT 

[Captioner] 21:41:36
THAT TIME THIS WAS A DISCUSSION 

[Captioner] 21:41:38
WITH THE COUNCIL AS A WHOLE, AND 

[Captioner] 21:41:42
WE TOOK A POLL OF ITEM 2.

[Captioner] 21:41:44
AND OF THE SEVEN COUNCILMEMBERS 

[Captioner] 21:41:47
AT THAT TIME, COUNCILMEMBER COX 

[Captioner] 21:41:51
WAS THE ONLY ONE

[Captioner] 21:41:53
 DISSENTING, THOUGH AFTER THE 

[Captioner] 21:41:55
WORKSHOP SHE SAID SHE WOULD 

[Captioner] 21:42:01
CONSIDER THE FACILITATORS

[Captioner] 21:42:02
, AND AT THAT TIME WE HAVE 

[Captioner] 21:42:05
WORKED WITH OUR CITY MANAGER AND 

[Captioner] 21:42:07
CITY ATTORNEY, AND THE OTHER 

[Captioner] 21:42:09
THING THAT WE AGREED UPON AT 

[Captioner] 21:42:10
THAT MEETING WAS ITEM NUMBER 3 

[Captioner] 21:42:12
WHICH IS TO LIMIT COUNCIL 

[Captioner] 21:42:15
REFERRALS.

[Captioner] 21:42:18
AND TO FOCUS ON STAFF TIME TO 

[Captioner] 21:42:20
COUNCIL PRIORITIES AND CRITICAL 

[Captioner] 21:42:21
CITY SERVICES.

[Captioner] 21:42:23
THIS HAS BEEN VERY CHALLENGING 

[Captioner] 21:42:24
COUPLE YEARS FOR US AS A  

[Captioner] 21:42:25
COUNCIL.

[Captioner] 21:42:26
WE'VE HAD EVERYTHING THAT WE'VE 

[Captioner] 21:42:28
TALKED ABOUT FROM HOMELESSNESS 

[Captioner] 21:42:30
TO COVID WHICH PEOPLE HOPEFULLY 

[Captioner] 21:42:31
HAVE FINALLY RETURNED TO THE 

[Captioner] 21:42:33
ABLE TO SEE ONE ANOTHER.

[Captioner] 21:42:35
BUT THOSE CHALLENGES OF THAT AND 

[Captioner] 21:42:37
THEN THE OTHER THING THAT WE 

[Captioner] 21:42:39
TALKED ABOUT WAS ITEM NUMBER 4 

[Captioner] 21:42:41
WHICH WAS TO LIMIT PROCLAMATIONS 

[Captioner] 21:42:42
AND RECOGNITIONS.

[Captioner] 21:42:44
THE EXISTING POLICY WE TALKED 

[Captioner] 21:42:47
ABOUT ENHANCING THAT, AND ALSO, 

[Captioner] 21:42:49
AGREED TO LIMIT THE PROCLAMATION 

[Captioner] 21:42:50
AND RECOGNITIONS.

[Captioner] 21:42:53
PLEASE NOTE THAT OVER THE YEARS, 

[Captioner] 21:42:56
WHILE THOSE ARE NOT ALWAYS ONES 

[Captioner] 21:42:58
PRESENTED HERE, AND I WOULD SAY 

[Captioner] 21:43:03
THAT FOR MY PREDECESSORS

[Captioner] 21:43:04
 AS FELLOW MAYORS AS FELLOW 

[Captioner] 21:43:06
COLLEAGUES, THEY DIDN'T 

[Captioner] 21:43:07
NECESSARILY PRESENT SOME OF 

[Captioner] 21:43:09
THESE ISSUES AT THE COUNCIL, AT 

[Captioner] 21:43:11
THE DAIS OR AT THESE MEETINGS 

[Captioner] 21:43:14
BUT IT NO LESSENS THEIR RESPECT 

[Captioner] 21:43:16
FOR THE OTHER GROUPS AND OTHER 

[Captioner] 21:43:18
CULTURES AND OTHER RELIGIONS, WE 

[Captioner] 21:43:21
ARE SO BLESSED TO HAVE SUCH A 

[Captioner] 21:43:22
DIVERSE CITY THAT WE ARE TRYING 

[Captioner] 21:43:23
TO ENCOURAGE EVERYONE TO  

[Captioner] 21:43:23
EMBRACE.

[Captioner] 21:43:25
WE ALSO SAID WE ARE GOING TO 

[Captioner] 21:43:26
FOLLOW COUNCIL NORMS.

[Captioner] 21:43:28
AND SOME OF THOSE INCLUDED 

[Captioner] 21:43:30
THINGS LIKE TO NOT SPEAK ILL OF 

[Captioner] 21:43:31
ONE ANOTHER.

[Captioner] 21:43:33
AND I'M WELL AWARE THAT FOR THIS 

[Captioner] 21:43:36
MEETING, THERE WAS NOS THAT WENT 

[Captioner] 21:43:40
 IN THES

[Captioner] 21:43:48
 NOTICES WENT OUT, NOT

[Captioner] 21:43:51
 TO ENCOURAGE HATE UPON ONE 

[Captioner] 21:43:52
ANOTHER AND THIS IS A CONSISTENT 

[Captioner] 21:43:54
ISSUE THAT TO BE  MINDFUL OF 

[Captioner] 21:43:57
SHARING E-MAILS OUT OF CONTEXT 

[Captioner] 21:43:58
TO AVOID RACIAL DIVISION.

[Captioner] 21:44:00
THESE ARE SOME OF THE NORMS THAT 

[Captioner] 21:44:02
WE ADOPTED AND WE TALKED ABOUT 

[Captioner] 21:44:03
AS DISCUSSION POINTS.

[Captioner] 21:44:07
TO NOT CONTRIBUTE TO RACE OR 

[Captioner] 21:44:08
RELIGION, TENSIONS IN OUR 

[Captioner] 21:44:10
COMMUNITY.

[Captioner] 21:44:13
TO HAVE PEOPLE READ THINGS INTO 

[Captioner] 21:44:15
WHAT THEY SEE RATHER THAN 

[Captioner] 21:44:17
INTERPRET FOR WHAT OTHER 

[Captioner] 21:44:18
PEOPLE'S EXPECTATIONS ARE.

[Captioner] 21:44:21
SO THAT'S WHY I'M CALLING FOR 

[Captioner] 21:44:24
THIS AND IN PARTICULAR ALSO, THE 

[Captioner] 21:44:25
ROLE OF THE MAYOR WAS CALLED 

[Captioner] 21:44:26
INTO QUESTION.

[Captioner] 21:44:28
AND I WILL EXPLAIN SOMETHING TO 

[Captioner] 21:44:29
THESE WHO DON'T KNOW.

[Captioner] 21:44:31
WE ARE THE LARGEST GENERAL LAW 

[Captioner] 21:44:33
CITY, THE MAYOR IS A MEMBER OF 

[Captioner] 21:44:34
THE COUNCIL.

[Captioner] 21:44:37
AND I REALLY APPRECIATE THAT 

[Captioner] 21:44:39
OPPORTUNITY TO SERVE ALONGSIDE 

[Captioner] 21:44:40
MY COLLEAGUES.

[Captioner] 21:44:43
BUT THE MAYOR HAS TWO DUTIES 

[Captioner] 21:44:45
THAT DELINEATE HER ROLE FROM 

[Captioner] 21:44:47
THAT OR HIS ROLE FROM OTHERS.

[Captioner] 21:44:49
AND THAT IS, I AM ALLOWED TO 

[Captioner] 21:44:51
MAKE PROCLAMATIONS AND SERVE AS 

[Captioner] 21:44:54
THE CEREMONIAL AND SPOKE PERSON 

[Captioner] 21:44:56
FOR THE CITY.

[Captioner] 21:44:59
IN GOOD TIMES AND BAD THAT PUT 

[Captioner] 21:45:00
ME OUT THERE.

[Captioner] 21:45:02
AND THAT HAS BEEN VERY  

[Captioner] 21:45:03
CHALLENGING AT TIMES AND IT'S 

[Captioner] 21:45:04
HARD ENOUGH.

[Captioner] 21:45:06
I APPRECIATE AND WELCOME TO 

[Captioner] 21:45:08
BEING THE FIRST WOMAN, THE FIRST 

[Captioner] 21:45:10
MAYOR OF COLOR, THE FIRST 

[Captioner] 21:45:13
MINORITY TO BE LEADING THE 

[Captioner] 21:45:13
CITY.

[Captioner] 21:45:14
I DON'T THINK THAT I'M ASKING 

[Captioner] 21:45:17
FOR RESPECT, I THINK I'VE EARNED 

[Captioner] 21:45:18
IT FROM THE PEOPLE AND I SERVE 

[Captioner] 21:45:20
WITH THAT HEART TO BE A PUBLIC 

[Captioner] 21:45:25
SERVANT.

[Captioner] 21:45:28
CAN HE H SO THE MAYOR'S ROLE 

[Captioner] 21:45:30
INCLUDES PRESIDING OVER THESE 

[Captioner] 21:45:32
MEETINGS AND PRESIDING OVER 

[Captioner] 21:45:32
DISCUSSIONS.

[Captioner] 21:45:34
THERE ARE TIMES WHEN WE HAVE 

[Captioner] 21:45:36
TALKED ABOUT THIS OVER THE DAIS 

[Captioner] 21:45:38
TOO THAT I UNDERSTAND PEOPLE 

[Captioner] 21:45:38
WANT TO SPEAK.

[Captioner] 21:45:40
THAT'S WHY WE HAVE A SYSTEM THAT 

[Captioner] 21:45:42
WE CAN LOOK AT THE MONITORS AND 

[Captioner] 21:45:43
TO ENCOURAGE PEOPLE TO 

[Captioner] 21:45:44
PARTICIPATE.

[Captioner] 21:45:46
AND I HAVE LISTENED TO MESSAGES 

[Captioner] 21:45:49
THAT ARE PLEASANT AND MESSAGES 

[Captioner] 21:45:52
THAT ARE FAR LESS SO.

[Captioner] 21:45:53
AND ALWAYS RESPECTED THAT.

[Captioner] 21:45:56
BUT I'VE ALSO RESPECTED THE 

[Captioner] 21:45:57
GOVERNANCE OF THE PERSON LEADING 

[Captioner] 21:45:59
THIS AND CHAIRING THE MEETINGS.

[Captioner] 21:46:01
AND SO NOT TALKING OVER OTHERS, 

[Captioner] 21:46:03
AND NOT INTERRUPTING THEM IS 

[Captioner] 21:46:06
SOMETHING THAT'S VERY 

[Captioner] 21:46:06
IMPORTANT.

[Captioner] 21:46:09
AND FINALLY I THINK THAT THE 

[Captioner] 21:46:10
OTHER THING I GET TO DO IS I 

[Captioner] 21:46:12
DEBT TO MAKE APPOINTMENTS.

[Captioner] 21:46:14
BUT IT'S A SYSTEM OF CHECK AND 

[Captioner] 21:46:15
BALANCE.

[Captioner] 21:46:16
I CAN MAKE APPOINTMENTS TO 

[Captioner] 21:46:17
DIFFERENT COMMISSIONS BUT I 

[Captioner] 21:46:19
APPRECIATE MY COLLEAGUES BECAUSE 

[Captioner] 21:46:20
I NEED THE MAJORITY OF THEM TO 

[Captioner] 21:46:22
BE ABLE TO MAKE THAT DECISION.

[Captioner] 21:46:24
SO THE REASON I'M ASKING FOR 

[Captioner] 21:46:27
THIS CENSURE IS THAT I FEEL THAT 

[Captioner] 21:46:30
WE NEED TO HAVE A RELATE IN 

[Captioner] 21:46:32
TERMS OF UNDERSTANDING THE 

[Captioner] 21:46:34
CONDUCT AND THAT INCITING HATE 

[Captioner] 21:46:36
OR ANGER OR TARGETING PEOPLE 

[Captioner] 21:46:38
REPEATEDLY IS NOT ONE THAT I 

[Captioner] 21:46:40
THINK IS ACCEPTABLE FOR NOT JUST 

[Captioner] 21:46:42
FOR ME, FOR MY FELLOW COLLEAGUES 

[Captioner] 21:46:43
AND FOR THE FUTURE.

[Captioner] 21:46:47
I HAVE NO POLITICAL SKIN IN THIS 

[Captioner] 21:46:48
GAME AT THIS POINT.

[Captioner] 21:46:52
I AM TERMING OUT AND I'VE BEEN

[Captioner] 21:46:53
 PRIVILEGED AND HONORED TO SERVE 

[Captioner] 21:46:54
FOR 16 YEARS.

[Captioner] 21:46:57
BUT I THINK IN ALL FAIRNESS FOR 

[Captioner] 21:46:59
WHOMEVER SERVES ON THIS DAIS IN 

[Captioner] 21:47:02
THE FUTURE AND WHOEVER SUCCEEDS 

[Captioner] 21:47:03
ME AS THE MAYOR I WOULD WANT 

[Captioner] 21:47:04
THEM TO RESPECT THAT ROLE, TO 

[Captioner] 21:47:06
RESPECT THE ABILITY TO WORK WITH 

[Captioner] 21:47:07
ONE ANOTHER AND TO UNDERSTAND 

[Captioner] 21:47:09
THAT WHILE WE DON'T AGREE ON 

[Captioner] 21:47:10
EVERYTHING, WE AGREE THAT WE 

[Captioner] 21:47:11
NEED TO RESPECT AND WORK WITH 

[Captioner] 21:47:12
ONE ANOTHER.

[Captioner] 21:47:13
THAT'S THE CHALLENGES WE SEE AT 

[Captioner] 21:47:15
THE FEDERAL LEVEL, THE STATE 

[Captioner] 21:47:16
LEVEL, AND HERE.

[Captioner] 21:47:20
AND THAT'S WHY WHEN I ASKED OUR

[Captioner] 21:47:22
 CITY ATTORNEY AND CITY MANAGER 

[Captioner] 21:47:24
WHAT WOULD BE THE BEST STEPS 

[Captioner] 21:47:26
BECAUSE WE'VE BROUGHT THIS UP AT 

[Captioner] 21:47:28
MULTIPLE COUNCIL MEETINGS.

[Captioner] 21:47:29
AND IN FACT IN APRIL IT WAS 

[Captioner] 21:47:31
UNANIMOUSLY DISCUSSED ABOUT THIS 

[Captioner] 21:47:34
TOPIC OF PROCLAMATIONS AND IT 

[Captioner] 21:47:35
WENT SO LONG THAT WE RAN OUT OF 

[Captioner] 21:47:37
TIME AT THE MEETING, THAT WE 

[Captioner] 21:47:38
WERE SUPPOSED TO HAVE A FOLLOW 

[Captioner] 21:47:40
UP MEETING WHICH WE HAVE NOT HAD 

[Captioner] 21:47:42
BUT IT WAS UNANIMOUS.

[Captioner] 21:47:43
IN FACT ONE OF THE 

[Captioner] 21:47:44
COUNCILMEMBERS WHO IS NOT HERE 

[Captioner] 21:47:46
RIGHT NOW HAD ACTUALLY SUGGESTED 

[Captioner] 21:47:48
BECAUSE IT HAD BEEN SO  

[Captioner] 21:47:50
DETRIMENTAL, THE IDEA OF NOT 

[Captioner] 21:47:52
HAVING ANY PROCLAMATIONS AT ALL 

[Captioner] 21:47:54
AT THE COUNCIL MEETINGS.

[Captioner] 21:47:56
I THINK THAT HONESTLY, IT'S 

[Captioner] 21:47:58
WONDERFUL TO HAVE THEM HERE.

[Captioner] 21:48:01
BUT IT'S ALSO FAR MORE  

[Captioner] 21:48:02
RESPECTFUL AND ACKNOWLEDGING THE 

[Captioner] 21:48:04
NEED FOR THAT CEREMONIAL ITEM TO 

[Captioner] 21:48:06
SPEND THE TIME WITH THE GROUPS 

[Captioner] 21:48:07
THAT ARE HONORING THESE EVENTS, 

[Captioner] 21:48:09
TO GO OUT THERE TO THE  

[Captioner] 21:48:09
COMMUNITY.

[Captioner] 21:48:12
BECAUSE I CAN READ SOMETHING FOR 

[Captioner] 21:48:14
TWO TO THREE MINUTES BUT IT IS 

[Captioner] 21:48:15
FAR GREATER AN EXPERIENCE AND 

[Captioner] 21:48:18
UNDERSTANDING TO BE WITH THE 

[Captioner] 21:48:18
PEOPLE, AND THOSE WHO ARE 

[Captioner] 21:48:20
ACTUALLY FOCUSED ON THOSE NEEDS 

[Captioner] 21:48:21
AND CONCERNS.

[Captioner] 21:48:23
SO THERE MAY BE DIFFERENCES IN 

[Captioner] 21:48:25
OPINIONS.

[Captioner] 21:48:29
I WANTED TO OPEN IT UP

[Captioner] 21:48:31
 AT THIS TIME FOR QUESTIONS FROM 

[Captioner] 21:48:31
THE COUNCILMEMBERS.

[Captioner] 21:48:34
AND THEN OPEN THE PUBLIC  

[Captioner] 21:48:34
COMMENT.

[Captioner] 21:48:38
AND SO I SEIZE FIRST IS

[Captioner] 21:48:39
 COUNCILMEMBER YANG SHAO.

[Captioner] 21:48:43
-- SEE FIRST IS COUNCILMEMBER 

[Captioner] 21:48:44
YANG SHOOZ.

[Captioner] 21:48:47
PLEASE LET ME CLARIFY ONE 

[Captioner] 21:48:47
THING.

[Captioner] 21:48:49
TONIGHT IS NOT FOR THE CENSURE 

[Captioner] 21:48:50
ITSELF.

[Captioner] 21:48:51
THE REFERRAL IS FOR 

[Captioner] 21:48:53
CONSIDERATION OF THE INITIATION 

[Captioner] 21:48:54
OF CENSURE PROCEEDINGS.

[Captioner] 21:48:56
IT IS TO CONDUCT A STUDY AS TO 

[Captioner] 21:48:58
THE COMPLIANCE AND NONCOMPLIANCE 

[Captioner] 21:48:59
WITH THE HANDBOOK AS WELL AS THE 

[Captioner] 21:49:02
GREEN SHEET AND THE CONDUCT 

[Captioner] 21:49:04
WITHIN WHICH WE WANT TO 

[Captioner] 21:49:04
OPERATE.

[Captioner] 21:49:04
THANK YOU.

[Captioner] 21:49:07
>> Councilmember Shao:   THANK 

[Captioner] 21:49:08
YOU.

[Captioner] 21:49:10
YOUR RESPONSE JUST PROVIDED THE 

[Captioner] 21:49:12
ANSWER TO MY PENDING QUESTION 

[Captioner] 21:49:13
THAT I WAS ABOUT TO ASK.

[Captioner] 21:49:14
THANK YOU.

[Captioner] 21:49:17
>> Mayor Mei:   THANK YOU.

[Captioner] 21:49:18
COUNCILMEMBER KENG DO YOU HAVE 

[Captioner] 21:49:20
ANY CLARIFYING QUESTIONS AT THIS 

[Captioner] 21:49:23
TIME?

[Captioner] 21:49:23
>> Councilmember Keng:   THANK 

[Captioner] 21:49:25
YOU MAYOR.

[Captioner] 21:49:28
I THINK IT WOULD BE MORE FAIR IF 

[Captioner] 21:49:34
YOU WOULD

[Captioner] 21:49:36
 PROVIDE MORE SPECIFIC EXAMPLES 

[Captioner] 21:49:37
OR SPECIFIC VIOLATIONS.

[Captioner] 21:49:39
>> Mayor Mei:   SURE.

[Captioner] 21:49:39
>> Councilmember Keng:   BECAUSE 

[Captioner] 21:49:41
ALLUDING TO THE VIOLATIONS, 

[Captioner] 21:49:44
WHICH WOULD POSSIBLY RESULT IN 

[Captioner] 21:49:46
THE CENSURE AND I DON'T THINK WE 

[Captioner] 21:49:51
HAVE ANY PRECEDENCE OF GIVING A 

[Captioner] 21:49:52
CENSURE, WHAT DOES THAT LOOK 

[Captioner] 21:49:53
LIKE, WHAT IS THE DEFINITION, 

[Captioner] 21:49:55
WHAT DOES THAT RESULT TO.

[Captioner] 21:49:59
AND I POTENTIALLY I THINK IT'S A 

[Captioner] 21:50:03
LITTLE PREMATURE TO DIRECT THE

[Captioner] 21:50:07
 STAFF TO STUDY THIS PROCEEDING 

[Captioner] 21:50:10
IF WE ARE SAYING, YOU KNOW, IF 

[Captioner] 21:50:11
WE HAVEN'T EVEN RULED THAT THERE 

[Captioner] 21:50:13
IS SPECIFIC VIOLATIONS, AND 

[Captioner] 21:50:15
WHICH WOULD RESULT IN THE 

[Captioner] 21:50:16
CENSURE WHICH WE HAVE NO IDEA 

[Captioner] 21:50:18
WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE.

[Captioner] 21:50:19
SO --

[Captioner] 21:50:19
>> Mayor Mei:   SURE.

[Captioner] 21:50:21
SO I THINK THAT WE'VE TALKED 

[Captioner] 21:50:24
ABOUT THIS AT MULTIPLE COUNCIL 

[Captioner] 21:50:26
MEETINGS AND RETREATS, WHERE 

[Captioner] 21:50:28
WE'VE TALKED ABOUT THE ROLE OF 

[Captioner] 21:50:29
THE MAYOR.

[Captioner] 21:50:31
AND THE ROLE OF THE PUBLIC 

[Captioner] 21:50:33
PROCLAMATIONS.

[Captioner] 21:50:34
THEY ARE ONES THAT SHOULD BE 

[Captioner] 21:50:37
SUBMITTED AND THERE IS A 

[Captioner] 21:50:39
CONFLICT AND CONFUSION 

[Captioner] 21:50:41
ESPECIALLY WHEN PEOPLE ARE 

[Captioner] 21:50:43
COMMUNICATED TO ATTEND A  

[Captioner] 21:50:46
MEETING, PRIOR TO THE APPROVAL 

[Captioner] 21:50:47
OF THE ITEM.

[Captioner] 21:50:49
AND SO THAT HAS HAPPENED 

[Captioner] 21:50:51
MULTIPLE TIMES WITH MULTIPLE 

[Captioner] 21:50:53
OCCASIONS.

[Captioner] 21:50:56
IT ALSO IS A SITUATION WHERE 

[Captioner] 21:50:58
WE'VE TALKED ABOUT CODE OF 

[Captioner] 21:51:00
CONDUCT NOT TO SPEAK ILL OF YOUR 

[Captioner] 21:51:01
COUNCILMEMBERS.

[Captioner] 21:51:04
AND WE'VE HAD E-MAILS AND, YOU 

[Captioner] 21:51:05
KNOW, SPECIFICALLY SENT IDENTITY 

[Captioner] 21:51:08
TO MEDIA, AND TO OTHERS IN THE 

[Captioner] 21:51:11
PUBLIC, TO DISPARAGE AND TO 

[Captioner] 21:51:12
CREATE DIVISION.

[Captioner] 21:51:15
IF YOU'D LIKE TO SEE SOME OF 

[Captioner] 21:51:16
THEM THERE ARE ARTICLES OUT 

[Captioner] 21:51:17
THERE THAT SPECIFICALLY SITE 

[Captioner] 21:51:19
THIS.

[Captioner] 21:51:23
 CITE THIS BECAUSE THEY'VE BEEN 

[Captioner] 21:51:24
PUBLISHED.

[Captioner] 21:51:25
IT'S WHAT WE TALKED ABOUT 

[Captioner] 21:51:28
TONIGHT, HOW DO WE WORK WITH ONE 

[Captioner] 21:51:31
ANOTHER, AND HAVING THIS 

[Captioner] 21:51:32
CONVERSATION OF CODE OF CONDUCT 

[Captioner] 21:51:34
IS ONE WE'VE HAD REPEATEDLY.

[Captioner] 21:51:36
I KNOW TALKING WITH THE CITY 

[Captioner] 21:51:37
ATTORNEY, THIS IS IN TERMS OF 

[Captioner] 21:51:39
THE STUDY AND COME BACK, IT 

[Captioner] 21:51:40
WOULD BE TO CONDUCT THIS 

[Captioner] 21:51:41
QUESTION ABOUT THOSE CLAUSES 

[Captioner] 21:51:43
THAT WE'VE TALKED ABOUT WHETHER 

[Captioner] 21:51:45
OR NOT THERE IS COMPLIANCE.

[Captioner] 21:51:47
WE'VE TALKED ABOUT MEDIATION AND 

[Captioner] 21:51:49
THAT IS NOT HAPPENED.

[Captioner] 21:51:50
AND, YOU KNOW, WE WANT TO MAKE 

[Captioner] 21:51:54
SURE THAT THIS IS A CIVIL 

[Captioner] 21:51:54
COUNCIL.

[Captioner] 21:51:56
I MEAN FOR TONIGHT'S MEETING, 

[Captioner] 21:51:58
LET ME GIVE YOU AN EXAMPLE AND 

[Captioner] 21:52:00
FOR SOME OF THE OTHER MOST 

[Captioner] 21:52:02
RECENT ITEMS.

[Captioner] 21:52:05
IT IS UNUSUAL TO REQUEST FOR A 

[Captioner] 21:52:07
PROCLAMATION WHERE YOU COPY ALL 

[Captioner] 21:52:09
THE PEOPLE BEFORE IT'S BEEN 

[Captioner] 21:52:10
APPROVED, INCLUDING POLITICAL 

[Captioner] 21:52:14
PARTIES, AND TO I MEAN THIS IS 

[Captioner] 21:52:17
RIGHT NOW UNFORTUNATELY SILLY 

[Captioner] 21:52:19
SEASON SO I KNOW WE'RE UP FOR 

[Captioner] 21:52:20
ELECTIONS AND SOME PEOPLE ARE 

[Captioner] 21:52:23
AND ALSO FOR ENDORSEMENTS BUT IT 

[Captioner] 21:52:26
IS UNUSUAL TO COPY THEM BEFORE 

[Captioner] 21:52:28
AND TUESDAY DISRESPECTFUL 

[Captioner] 21:52:30
BECAUSE ON ONE HAND WE'VE HAD 

[Captioner] 21:52:31
MANY PROCLAMATIONS SUBMITTED.

[Captioner] 21:52:33
AND WHEN THIS PROCESS STARTED 

[Captioner] 21:52:34
AND I'VE BEEN ON THE COUNCIL NOW 

[Captioner] 21:52:38
FOR EIGHT YEARS, AS A MAYOR AND 

[Captioner] 21:52:39
TEN PREVIOUSLY IF YOU COUNT THE 

[Captioner] 21:52:40
TIME WITH THE OTHER 

[Captioner] 21:52:41
COUNCILMEMBERS.

[Captioner] 21:52:43
WE'VE HAD MANY DATES HONORED.

[Captioner] 21:52:46
WE'VE HAD MANY INCLUSIONS.

[Captioner] 21:52:48
IT FOCUSES USUALLY ON THE DATES 

[Captioner] 21:52:50
THEMSELVES AND SOMEBODY COMES IN 

[Captioner] 21:52:51
THE COMMUNITY TO ACCEPT.

[Captioner] 21:52:53
BUT WE HAVEN'T MADE IT FOCUSED 

[Captioner] 21:52:56
ON JUST INDIVIDUALS OR 

[Captioner] 21:52:58
INDIVIDUALS OF JUST PERSONAL 

[Captioner] 21:52:58
BENEFIT.

[Captioner] 21:53:00
AND SO I THINK THAT THAT'S BEEN 

[Captioner] 21:53:03
A CHANGE.

[Captioner] 21:53:05
AND CERTAINLY, IT'S LESS THAN 

[Captioner] 21:53:07
PLEASANT WHEN YOU TELL PEOPLE, 

[Captioner] 21:53:08
YOU KNOW, IF YOU DON'T GET  

[Captioner] 21:53:11
HONORED IT'S BECAUSE THE MAYOR 

[Captioner] 21:53:12
HAS DISLIKE FOR YOU.

[Captioner] 21:53:14
AND SO I THINK THAT, YOU KNOW, 

[Captioner] 21:53:20
TRYING TO SEW SEEDS OF DISCOURSE 

[Captioner] 21:53:22
AND ANIMOSITY IS SOMETHING WE 

[Captioner] 21:53:23
DON'T NEED NOW.

[Captioner] 21:53:25
WE JUST HAD A PROCLAMATION, WE 

[Captioner] 21:53:27
TALKED ABOUT UNITED AGAINST  

[Captioner] 21:53:27
HATE.

[Captioner] 21:53:29
HOW WE'RE TRYING TO BRING PEOPLE 

[Captioner] 21:53:30
TOGETHER AND TO CELEBRATE THINGS 

[Captioner] 21:53:32
AND IT'S NOT HELPFUL WHEN WE 

[Captioner] 21:53:33
DIVIDE OUR COMMUNITY.

[Captioner] 21:53:35
AND SO THAT'S A CONSISTENT ISSUE 

[Captioner] 21:53:36
THAT WE'VE HAD.

[Captioner] 21:53:40
AND IT'S BEEN CITED AND IT'S 

[Captioner] 21:53:41
UNFORTUNATE TO HEAR THAT COMING 

[Captioner] 21:53:43
THERE OTHER ELECTED OFFICIALS, 

[Captioner] 21:53:44
OTHER PEOPLE IN THE MEDIA WHO 

[Captioner] 21:53:46
HAVE CITED THESE SITUATIONS.

[Captioner] 21:53:48
AND SO WE'VE TALKED ABOUT THIS 

[Captioner] 21:53:50
AT OUR COUNCIL RETREAT.

[Captioner] 21:53:52
IT'S ONE THAT HAS BEEN A TOPIC 

[Captioner] 21:53:54
OF REPEAT DISCUSSIONS.

[Captioner] 21:53:56
SO THIS IS NOT SOMETHING THAT IS 

[Captioner] 21:53:59
SOMETHING THAT WE'VE PULLED OUT 

[Captioner] 21:54:00
OF THE HAT, SOMETHING THAT'S 

[Captioner] 21:54:01
BRAND-NEW.

[Captioner] 21:54:03
IN FACT IF YOU -- WE DON'T HAVE 

[Captioner] 21:54:04
THE MINUTES.

[Captioner] 21:54:05
BUT I COULD SEE OWN THE DAIS OF 

[Captioner] 21:54:08
THE PEOPLE THAT WERE THERE, THIS 

[Captioner] 21:54:09
SPECIFIC AREA ABOUT  

[Captioner] 21:54:14
PROCLAMATIONS, WAS ACTUALLY 

[Captioner] 21:54:15
UNANIMOUSLY A DISCUSSION OF 

[Captioner] 21:54:16
CONVERSATION AND CONCERN FOR THE 

[Captioner] 21:54:18
ENTIRE COUNCIL AT THAT TIME.

[Captioner] 21:54:20
BECAUSE IT'S ONE THAT AGAIN, WE 

[Captioner] 21:54:22
HAVE SO MANY ISSUES THAT WE'VE 

[Captioner] 21:54:23
TALKED ABOUT THIS EVENING.

[Captioner] 21:54:24
LAND USE.

[Captioner] 21:54:27
HOMELESSNESS, PUBLIC SAFETY.

[Captioner] 21:54:29
OUR TRANSPORTATION, OUR 

[Captioner] 21:54:30
INFRASTRUCTURE, THOSE ARE THE 

[Captioner] 21:54:31
REASONS WHY WE WERE LOCATED.

[Captioner] 21:54:34
AND THOSE ARE PRIMARY CORE 

[Captioner] 21:54:35
RESPONSIBILITIES.

[Captioner] 21:54:37
IT IS NOT THAT WE DON'T 

[Captioner] 21:54:38
CELEBRATE CEREMONIAL.

[Captioner] 21:54:40
BUT IF WE CELEBRATE EVERY SINGLE 

[Captioner] 21:54:43
GROUP AND EVERY SINGLE DAY WE 

[Captioner] 21:54:44
WOULD NEVER BE ABLE TO FOCUSES 

[Captioner] 21:54:46
ON THE PURCHASE OF WHY WE ARE 

[Captioner] 21:54:47
HERE.

[Captioner] 21:54:48
IN FACT LAST YEAR TORE THOSE WHO 

[Captioner] 21:54:50
ARE HERE IN JULY WE HAD COME UP 

[Captioner] 21:54:52
WITH A LIST AND WE'D TALKED 

[Captioner] 21:54:53
ABOUT COMING UP WITH A LIST TO 

[Captioner] 21:54:56
MAKE IT MORE UNIFORM, TO MAKE IT 

[Captioner] 21:54:57
SOMETHING PEOPLE COULD BE 

[Captioner] 21:54:59
INCLUSIVE IN, AND WE TALKED 

[Captioner] 21:55:00
ABOUT MONTHS AND DATES AND THOSE 

[Captioner] 21:55:02
ARE PUBLISHED ON OUR CALENDAR.

[Captioner] 21:55:05
IN FACT WE ADDED SEVERAL NEW 

[Captioner] 21:55:06
ONES THIS YEAR.

[Captioner] 21:55:10
WE ADDED ARAB HERITAGE MONTH, WE

[Captioner] 21:55:14
 WERE -- IT WAS A FOCUS OF THE 

[Captioner] 21:55:16
STATE TO MOVE ARAB HERITAGE 

[Captioner] 21:55:19
MONTH, IT DOESN'T ALWAYS GET 

[Captioner] 21:55:22
HONORED, THE SENATOR DECIDED TO 

[Captioner] 21:55:23
MOVE IT TO APRIL.

[Captioner] 21:55:24
THINGS LIKE THAT WERE THINGS 

[Captioner] 21:55:26
THAT WE INCLUDED THE PUBLIC AND 

[Captioner] 21:55:28
PEOPLE HAD HEARINGS ON IT AND WE 

[Captioner] 21:55:30
ARE TRYING TO MOVE TO A PROCESS 

[Captioner] 21:55:36
THAT CONSIDERS CORDIALITY AND

[Captioner] 21:55:39
 RESPECTS THE HONOR OF OTHER.

[Captioner] 21:55:41
I'D LOVE TO HEAR FROM THE PUBLIC 

[Captioner] 21:55:43
IF YOU HAVE OTHER QUESTIONS.

[Captioner] 21:55:46
CK.

[Captioner] 21:55:46
>> Councilmember Keng:   THANK 

[Captioner] 21:55:49
YOU, I THINK WE NEED SPECIFIC 

[Captioner] 21:55:51
EXARMS, IF YOU HAVE THOSE 

[Captioner] 21:55:53
E-MAILS AND THAT -- SO IT NEEDS 

[Captioner] 21:55:54
TO BE SEEN, YOU KNOW, BEFORE THE 

[Captioner] 21:55:57
COUNCIL BEFORE WE CAN MOVE 

[Captioner] 21:55:59
FORWARD TO DECIDE.

[Captioner] 21:56:00
>> Mayor Mei:   I THINK WHAT 

[Captioner] 21:56:03
WE'RE ASKING IS THAT DISCUSSION 

[Captioner] 21:56:05
TO DO THE FINDINGS.

[Captioner] 21:56:06
I DON'T THINK WE'RE TRYING TO DO 

[Captioner] 21:56:07
THE CENSURE TODAY.

[Captioner] 21:56:09
SO WE HAVE EXAMPLES AND THAT IS 

[Captioner] 21:56:10
SOMETHING THAT THE STAFF WE 

[Captioner] 21:56:11
WOULD GIVE DIRECTION NOAR THE 

[Captioner] 21:56:13
STAFF TO DO THE RESEARCH TO SEE 

[Captioner] 21:56:14
WETHER OR NOT THERE IS 

[Captioner] 21:56:16
COMPLIANCE WITH THE HANDBOOK.

[Captioner] 21:56:18
AND SO THAT'S WHERE WE'D GET THE 

[Captioner] 21:56:19
FEEDBACK BACK.

[Captioner] 21:56:21
AND I'D BE HAPPY TO PROVIDE  

[Captioner] 21:56:21
THAT.

[Captioner] 21:56:23
RIGHT NOW I DIDN'T THINK I WAS 

[Captioner] 21:56:25
COMING TO PRESENT THE ENTIRE 

[Captioner] 21:56:26
CASE STUDY FOR THIS AND SO I 

[Captioner] 21:56:28
THINK WHAT I'M ASKING FOR IS 

[Captioner] 21:56:29
CLEARLY THERE ARE VIOLATIONS OF 

[Captioner] 21:56:31
THE HANDBOOK AND WHAT I'M ASKING 

[Captioner] 21:56:33
FOR IS A STUDY TO BE ABLE TO DO 

[Captioner] 21:56:34
THE DEFINITION OF WHETHER OR NOT 

[Captioner] 21:56:36
THERE IS A VIOLATION, AND MAYBE 

[Captioner] 21:56:39
THE STAFF COMES BACK AND SAYS 

[Captioner] 21:56:40
THERE'S NOTHING VIOLATING THE 

[Captioner] 21:56:42
HANDBOOK AND THE CODE OF CONDUCT 

[Captioner] 21:56:44
EVEN THOUGH WE'VE AGREED UPON 

[Captioner] 21:56:45
TERMS.

[Captioner] 21:56:46
AND THEN ALSO THE DEFINITION OF 

[Captioner] 21:56:49
WHAT A CENSURE IS.

[Captioner] 21:56:51
BECAUSE RIGHT NOW, THE WAY THAT 

[Captioner] 21:56:53
IT'S BEEN MOVING FORWARD, WE'VE 

[Captioner] 21:56:55
TRIED IT OVER DIFFERENT YEARS TO 

[Captioner] 21:56:57
HAVE THIS CONVERSATION AND IT 

[Captioner] 21:56:58
HAS NOT BEEN A RESOLUTION THAT 

[Captioner] 21:57:01
WE COULD FIND TO BE ABLE TO MOVE 

[Captioner] 21:57:05
US FORWARD.

[Captioner] 21:57:07
THINK OTHER QUESTIONS FROM THE 

[Captioner] 21:57:09
COUNCIL -- ANY OTHER QUESTIONS 

[Captioner] 21:57:10
FROM THE COUNCIL AT THIS TIME?

[Captioner] 21:57:12
SEEING NONE I'M GOING TO OPEN 

[Captioner] 21:57:13
THE PUBLIC COMMENT PERIOD .

[Captioner] 21:57:15
AND DO WE HAVE SPEAKERS ON 

[Captioner] 21:57:15
THIS?

[Captioner] 21:57:17
>> The Clerk:   WE DO.

[Captioner] 21:57:17
WE HAVE SEVEN.

[Captioner] 21:57:20
>> Mayor Mei:   GREAT.

[Captioner] 21:57:21
>> The Clerk:   WE STILL DOING 

[Captioner] 21:57:23
TWO MINUTES?

[Captioner] 21:57:28
NASIR IRFAN.

[Captioner] 21:57:34
KISHO

[Captioner] 21:57:40
ON NYAK

[Captioner] 21:57:41
.

[Captioner] 21:57:42
I APOLOGIZE IF I SAID THOSE 

[Captioner] 21:57:44
WRONG.

[Captioner] 21:57:45
RGK.

[Captioner] 21:57:45
GO AHEAD.

[Captioner] 21:57:49
>> WELCOME.

[Captioner] 21:57:52
GOOD EVENING, MAYOR MEI, THANK 

[Captioner] 21:57:54
YOU FOR LISTENING, THIS LONG 

[Captioner] 21:57:54
NIGHT.

[Captioner] 21:57:56
BUT I DO WANT TO THANK YOU FOR 

[Captioner] 21:57:56
YOUR SERVICES.

[Captioner] 21:58:00
I VOTED FOR YOU BOTH TERMS, 

[Captioner] 21:58:02
 2016, 2020, AND THANK YOU FOR 

[Captioner] 21:58:04
ALL YOUR SERVICE AND SUPPORT 

[Captioner] 21:58:05
YOU'VE DONE FOR FREMONT.

[Captioner] 21:58:08
THE REASON I'M HERE FOR THE PAST 

[Captioner] 21:58:12
15 CAREERS

[Captioner] 21:58:15
 YEARS AS A FREMONT RESIDENT I'M 

[Captioner] 21:58:18
WORKING AND SPEAKING IN SUPPORT 

[Captioner] 21:58:18
OF COUNCILMEMBER COX.

[Captioner] 21:58:21
WHEN I READ 7A TO BE HONEST IT 

[Captioner] 21:58:23
WAS REALLY CONFUSING.

[Captioner] 21:58:24
THERE IS NO MENTION ABOUT THE 

[Captioner] 21:58:25
STUDY OR WHAT WOULD BE TAKING 

[Captioner] 21:58:27
PLACE.

[Captioner] 21:58:29
IT'S REALLY VAGUE, NOT CLEAR 

[Captioner] 21:58:31
WHAT IS BEING ADDRESSED.

[Captioner] 21:58:33
I COME FROM A CORPORATE WORLD.

[Captioner] 21:58:36
IF WE HAVE ISSUES, WE HAVE  

[Captioner] 21:58:37
CLOSED DOOR MEETINGS.

[Captioner] 21:58:40
THIS ITEM COULD HAVE BEEN TAKEN 

[Captioner] 21:58:41
BACK CLOSED SESSION WITH THE 

[Captioner] 21:58:43
CITY COUNCIL, CITY ATTORNEY, THE 

[Captioner] 21:58:46
REST OF THE FOLKS THAT ARE 

[Captioner] 21:58:47
BUILTABLE THE RESOURCES, RIGHT?

[Captioner] 21:58:49
IT DOES NOT NEED TO BE OPEN TO 

[Captioner] 21:58:50
THE PUBLIC FORUM.

[Captioner] 21:58:51
PLEASE.

[Captioner] 21:58:54
AS YOU STATED, WE HAVE LOT OF 

[Captioner] 21:58:55
ISSUES TO WORK ON.

[Captioner] 21:58:59
WE'VE GOT THE HOMELESSNESS,

[Captioner] 21:59:04
 THE DESTINY CHURCH, WE HAVE

[Captioner] 21:59:07
 EIGHT FATALITY IN FREMONT, A 

[Captioner] 21:59:09
WEEK AGO, TWO HIGH SCHOOL 

[Captioner] 21:59:11
STUDENTS PASSED AWAY, WE HAVE 

[Captioner] 21:59:12
INCREASED TRAFFIC, THERE IS A 

[Captioner] 21:59:14
LOT TO BE COVERED IN THESE 

[Captioner] 21:59:14
CRITICAL MEETINGS.

[Captioner] 21:59:17
WE DO NOT NEED THIS TO BE OPEN 

[Captioner] 21:59:18
FOR PUBLIC.

[Captioner] 21:59:20
SO MY RECOMMENDATION IS, I'VE 

[Captioner] 21:59:25
NOT SEEN THIS TYPE OF

[Captioner] 21:59:26
 CENSURE BACK DATED 50 YEARS 

[Captioner] 21:59:28
AGO, THIS IS UNPRECEDENTED SO 

[Captioner] 21:59:30
PLEASE HAVE IT BEHIND THE CLOSED 

[Captioner] 21:59:32
DOOR SESSIONS.

[Captioner] 21:59:34
DISCUSS AMONG SELVES, AND 

[Captioner] 21:59:35
RESOLVE IT WITHOUT HAVING IT UP 

[Captioner] 21:59:36
IN THE PUBLIC.

[Captioner] 21:59:36
THANK YOU SO MUCH.

[Captioner] 21:59:41
>> The Clerk:   THANK YOU.

[Captioner] 21:59:45
KISHAN FOLLOWED BY RGK

[Captioner] 21:59:48
 AND IGOR.

[Captioner] 21:59:50
>> GOOD EVENING, MY NAME IS  

[Captioner] 21:59:52
KISHAN N YIRVETIONAK.

[Captioner] 21:59:55
IF YOU CAN'T TELL ALREADY I'M A 

[Captioner] 21:59:56
COLLEGE STUDENT, I'M CHAIR OF 

[Captioner] 21:59:57
THE STUDENT SENATE THERE.

[Captioner] 22:00:02
I'M NOT FROM DISTRICT 6, I'M NOT

[Captioner] 22:00:04
 FROM COUNCILMEMBER COX 

[Captioner] 22:00:05
DISTRICT, BUT COUNCILMEMBER COX 

[Captioner] 22:00:06
IS SOMEONE WHO BELIEVED AT ME 

[Captioner] 22:00:08
WHEN I WAS AT MY WORST.

[Captioner] 22:00:10
EVEN WHEN I WAS NEVER HER 

[Captioner] 22:00:11
CONSTITUENT AND HAVE NEVER BEEN 

[Captioner] 22:00:12
A CONFIDENT.

[Captioner] 22:00:15
BUT SHE WAS SOMEONE WHO I COULD 

[Captioner] 22:00:17
TRUST TO REPRESENT THE VALUES 

[Captioner] 22:00:20
THAT MY PARENTS BELIEVED IN, 

[Captioner] 22:00:22
MAYOR MEI AND CITY COUNCIL, I 

[Captioner] 22:00:24
TOTALLY GET THAT RULES ARE  

[Captioner] 22:00:24
RULES.

[Captioner] 22:00:27
BUT IT'S BEEN INCREDIBLY  

[Captioner] 22:00:29
INACCESSIBLE ABOUT WHAT THOSE 

[Captioner] 22:00:31
RULES ARE THAT ARE DISCUSS OATD 

[Captioner] 22:00:34
TODAY, I TRIED TO LOOK AT THE  

[Captioner] 22:00:38
AFOREMENTIONED BOOK 

[Captioner] 22:00:39
COUNCILMEMBER BOOK.

[Captioner] 22:00:42
I'D LIKE TO ASK THAT THE BROWN 

[Captioner] 22:00:43
ACT BE LINKED TO THE WEBSITE AS 

[Captioner] 22:00:46
WELL AS THE AGENDA WHEN WE ARE 

[Captioner] 22:00:49
REGARDING ITEM SEVENB AND 

[Captioner] 22:00:50
COUNCILMEMBER COX AS YOU KNOW IS 

[Captioner] 22:00:52
A REPRESENTATIVE FOR THE 

[Captioner] 22:00:53
IRVINGTON DISTRICT, WHERE I WENT 

[Captioner] 22:00:53
TO HIGH SCHOOL.

[Captioner] 22:00:55
IT IS A VERY VIBRANT DISTRICT 

[Captioner] 22:00:57
AND A LOT OF CULTURES THAT SHE 

[Captioner] 22:00:59
HERSELF SEEMED TO BE A PART OF.

[Captioner] 22:01:03
I AS AN INDIAN AMERICAN FEEL

[Captioner] 22:01:05
 THAT SHE IS MORE INDIAN THAN 

[Captioner] 22:01:06
ME.

[Captioner] 22:01:08
SHE GIVES RESPECT TO THE VIBRANT 

[Captioner] 22:01:10
COMMUNITY THAT IRVINGTON HAS.

[Captioner] 22:01:12
I THINK PROCLAMATIONS ARE A GOOD 

[Captioner] 22:01:14
THING, SOMETHING THAT SHOULD BE 

[Captioner] 22:01:16
RECOGNIZED, WE TRY TO HAVE ONE 

[Captioner] 22:01:18
EVERY SINGLE MEETING AND WE HAVE 

[Captioner] 22:01:19
WEEKLY MEETING.

[Captioner] 22:01:21
WE TRY TO HONOR THE COMMUNITIES 

[Captioner] 22:01:22
WHERE WE'RE THERE AND I THINK 

[Captioner] 22:01:24
THAT HAVING PROCLAMATIONS AND 

[Captioner] 22:01:26
HONORING THE COMMUNITIES 

[Captioner] 22:01:28
ESPECIALLY WITHIN OUR 

[Captioner] 22:01:33
CONSTITUENCIES ARE

[Captioner] 22:01:36
 WORTH HAVING AND WORTH 

[Captioner] 22:01:36
HONORING.

[Captioner] 22:01:38
THANK YOU.

[Captioner] 22:01:42
>> The Clerk:   RGK AND TRE

[Captioner] 22:02:00
MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL.

[Captioner] 22:02:03
I'M SPEAKING TO YOU TONIGHT AS 

[Captioner] 22:02:07
AN INDIVIDUAL.

[Captioner] 22:02:08
AND I'M SPEAKING TONIGHT IN 

[Captioner] 22:02:12
STRONG SUPPORT OF AND SOLIDARITY 

[Captioner] 22:02:12
WITH COUNCILMEMBER COX.

[Captioner] 22:02:18
I HAVE PROFOUND RESPECT FOR THE 

[Captioner] 22:02:20
WORK THAT YOU ALL DO, THAT ALL 

[Captioner] 22:02:21
COUNCILS DO.

[Captioner] 22:02:23
LAST WEEK, THE SAME DISCUSSION 

[Captioner] 22:02:27
THAT YOU JUST HAD ABOUT THE

[Captioner] 22:02:31
 GRANTS PASS CASE, WE HAD A 

[Captioner] 22:02:33
SOMEWHAT PARALLEL DISCUSSION IN 

[Captioner] 22:02:34
THE CITY OF BERKELEY ON OUR 

[Captioner] 22:02:36
COUNCIL THAT TOOK THREE AND A 

[Captioner] 22:02:37
HALF HOURS.

[Captioner] 22:02:39
AND THAT IS THE WORK, THAT IS 

[Captioner] 22:02:41
THE CHALLENGE.

[Captioner] 22:02:45
I'M HERE TODAY TO EXPRESS

[Captioner] 22:02:49
 MY APPRECIATION FOR THE WORK OF 

[Captioner] 22:02:52
COUNCILMEMBER COX, AND IMPLORE 

[Captioner] 22:02:56
YOU NOT TO SPEND VALUABLE TIME

[Captioner] 22:03:01
 AND RESOURCES ON SOMETHING

[Captioner] 22:03:05
 THAT FRANKLY SOUNDS LIKE IT 

[Captioner] 22:03:10
HARKENS BACK TO A DARK TIME

[Captioner] 22:03:11
.

[Captioner] 22:03:15
WHEN MY FAMILY WAS IN BOMB 

[Captioner] 22:03:19
SHELTERS, I COME FROM UKRAINE, 

[Captioner] 22:03:22
WHEN THEY WERE ATTACKED, WHEN MY 

[Captioner] 22:03:24
AUNT AND UNCLE WERE BOMBED OUT 

[Captioner] 22:03:26
OF THEIR APARTMENT BUILDING AT 

[Captioner] 22:03:28
THE BEGINNING OF THIS YEAR, MANY 

[Captioner] 22:03:31
OF YOU SHOWED SOLIDARITY WITH 

[Captioner] 22:03:37
THE UKRAINIAN COMMUNITY AND I 

[Captioner] 22:03:37
APPRECIATE THAT.

[Captioner] 22:03:39
AND THERE HAVE BEEN A NUMBER OF 

[Captioner] 22:03:41
PROCLAMATIONS AND RESOLUTIONS TO 

[Captioner] 22:03:42
THAT EFFECT.

[Captioner] 22:03:44
THERE IS ONE THAT I'M CURRENT 

[Captioner] 22:03:46
DOING WHERE I CAN WALK ACROSS 

[Captioner] 22:03:48
THE WALL AND WORK WITH MY MAYOR 

[Captioner] 22:03:50
AND MAKE SURE THAT HAPPENS.

[Captioner] 22:03:51
AND COUNCILMEMBER COX WENT THE 

[Captioner] 22:03:54
EXTRA MILE TO SHOW UP FOR MY 

[Captioner] 22:03:55
COMMUNITY.

[Captioner] 22:03:59
AND I'M EXPRESSING MY

[Captioner] 22:04:00
  SOLIDARITY.

ALBERT SWAY FOLLOWED BY HIU NG.

[Captioner] 22:04:23
>> HI, I'M ALBERT, I'M

[Captioner] 22:04:25
 HERE AND ALSO IN SUPPORT OF 

[Captioner] 22:04:26
TERESA COX.

[Captioner] 22:04:28
I'M NOT IN AGREEMENT WHAT SHE'S 

[Captioner] 22:04:28
DOING.

[Captioner] 22:04:30
BUT IF SHE'S NOT FOLLOWING THE 

[Captioner] 22:04:33
RIGHT PROCEDURE, YOU GUYS AT THE 

[Captioner] 22:04:34
CITY COUNCIL, CITY ATTORNEY, 

[Captioner] 22:04:36
CITY MANAGER, SHOULD ADVISE THE 

[Captioner] 22:04:37
PROCEDURES.

[Captioner] 22:04:38
RIGHT?

[Captioner] 22:04:41
I KNOW THAT IT IS IN WRITING.

[Captioner] 22:04:44
I'VE BEEN IN STUDENT GOVERNMENT, 

[Captioner] 22:04:47
AS A POLICE DEPARTMENT AIRN, THE 

[Captioner] 22:04:49
PROCEDURE IS NOT CORRECT, PLEASE 

[Captioner] 22:04:50
FIX IT.

[Captioner] 22:04:53
AND YOU SHOULD DO THIS BEHIND 

[Captioner] 22:04:55
CLOSED DOORS, NOT IN A PUBLIC 

[Captioner] 22:04:56
FORUM.

[Captioner] 22:04:57
YES SHE'S NOT DOING THE RIGHT 

[Captioner] 22:05:00
THING BUT SHE CAN ALSO BE -- YOU 

[Captioner] 22:05:02
GUYS HAVE CLOSED SESSIONS WHERE 

[Captioner] 22:05:04
THINGS ARE DOCUMENTED AND WHERE 

[Captioner] 22:05:06
THINGS ARE -- BECAUSE FOR 

[Captioner] 22:05:10
EXAMPLE, RIGHT, I'VE SEEN

[Captioner] 22:05:13
 CELLULAR LAWSUITS AND STUFF 

[Captioner] 22:05:16
LIKE THAT, YOU GUYS DID IT IN 

[Captioner] 22:05:18
CLOSED DOORS, WE WERE NOT ABLE 

[Captioner] 22:05:20
TO COMMUNICATE.

[Captioner] 22:05:22
I THINK BY HAVING IT IN PUBLIC 

[Captioner] 22:05:25
IT IS I HATE TO SAY IT IT'S A 

[Captioner] 22:05:27
SHAMING SESSION FOR 

[Captioner] 22:05:29
COUNCILMEMBER COX.

[Captioner] 22:05:32
YOU GUYS NEED TO JEET HER AND DO 

[Captioner] 22:05:34
IT BEHIND CLOSED DOORS, OKAY, 

[Captioner] 22:05:35
PLEASE GIVE HER THE CHANCE.

[Captioner] 22:05:40
>> HIU NG.

[Captioner] 22:05:44
FOLLOWED BY JOHN HINES.

[Captioner] 22:05:51
>> GOOD EVENING.

[Captioner] 22:05:54
I'M A MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC.

[Captioner] 22:05:59
MY RULES ARE A LITTLE DIFFERENT

[Captioner] 22:05:59
.

[Captioner] 22:06:03
I BELIEVE, NO LOT ME

[Captioner] 22:06:05
 RETRAYS THAT.

[Captioner] 22:06:08
I -- NO LET ME RETRAYS THAT.

[Captioner] 22:06:10
I BELIEVE THAT YOU SHOULD MA'AM 

[Captioner] 22:06:14
MAYOR, THAT YOU SHOULD PROCEED

[Captioner] 22:06:18
 EXTREMELY CAREFULLY.

[Captioner] 22:06:20
BECAUSE WHAT IS YOUR ABILITY TO 

[Captioner] 22:06:23
WORK WITH THAT PERSON AFTER YOU 

[Captioner] 22:06:27
PUBLICLY CENSURE THEM.

[Captioner] 22:06:29
YOU'RE NOT GETTING BETTER 

[Captioner] 22:06:32
COOPERATION.

[Captioner] 22:06:35
YOU GET MORE RESISTANCE.

[Captioner] 22:06:36
THAT'S HUMAN NATURE.

[Captioner] 22:06:40
YOU ONLY HAVE TWO MORE MONTHS TO

[Captioner] 22:06:44
 GO.

[Captioner] 22:06:48
MS. COX IS FACING THE ELECTION

[Captioner] 22:06:48
.

[Captioner] 22:06:51
THIS ISSUE FOR BETTER OR FOR 

[Captioner] 22:06:54
WORSE IS PROBABLY GOING TO BE 

[Captioner] 22:06:55
OVER IN TWO MONTHS.

[Captioner] 22:07:00
IT IS NO LONGER YOUR PROBLEM OR 

[Captioner] 22:07:02
IT IS NO LONGER HER PROBLEM.

[Captioner] 22:07:07
RIGHT?

[Captioner] 22:07:11
I JUST WANT TO SAY, TO ME

[Captioner] 22:07:13
 LIKE YOU GUYS GOT BETTER THINGS 

[Captioner] 22:07:14
TO  DO.

[Captioner] 22:07:17
OKAY.

[Captioner] 22:07:20
THAT'S MY HONEST FEEDBACK TO  

[Captioner] 22:07:20
YOU.

[Captioner] 22:07:22
YOU GUYS GET BETTER THINGS TO  

[Captioner] 22:07:22
DO.

[Captioner] 22:07:23
HURRY IT UP.

[Captioner] 22:07:23
THANK YOU.

[Captioner] 22:07:27
>> The Clerk:   MR. HINES  

[Captioner] 22:07:31
FOLLOWED BY GOLDEN SHAO.

[Captioner] 22:07:33
>> HELLO EVERYONE.

[Captioner] 22:07:36
AS SOMEONE WHO IS USUALLY WAY 

[Captioner] 22:07:37
WAY TOO QUICK TO COME AND SPEAK 

[Captioner] 22:07:40
TO THE COUNCIL, I'M AT KIND OF A 

[Captioner] 22:07:42
LOSS NOW BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW 

[Captioner] 22:07:46
WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT.

[Captioner] 22:07:48
I GET THAT IF THERE IS GOING TO 

[Captioner] 22:07:50
BE A FORMAL CENSURE IT PROBABLY 

[Captioner] 22:07:52
HAS TO BE IN AN OPEN PUBLIC 

[Captioner] 22:07:53
MEETING.

[Captioner] 22:07:56
BUT FROM WHAT I'VE HEARD SO FAR, 

[Captioner] 22:07:58
MUCH OF THE CONDUCT BEING 

[Captioner] 22:07:59
DISCUSSED IS BETWEEN 

[Captioner] 22:08:01
COUNCILMEMBERS, AT RETREATS AND 

[Captioner] 22:08:03
OUTSIDE OR E-MAILS THAT DON'T 

[Captioner] 22:08:04
COME TO EVERYONE.

[Captioner] 22:08:06
I HEARD SOME CASES THAT WENT TO 

[Captioner] 22:08:06
THE MEDIA.

[Captioner] 22:08:10
I DIDN'T HAPPEN TO SEE THOSE.

[Captioner] 22:08:14
ONE PARTICULAR ACCIDENT HAPPEN 

[Captioner] 22:08:22
 ZAP WAS A E-MAIL TO A GROUP AND 

[Captioner] 22:08:24
THE E-MAIL WON'T TO THE GROUP AS 

[Captioner] 22:08:26
WELL AS THE MAYOR WHICH I WOULD 

[Captioner] 22:08:27
SAY JUMPING THE 51, IT'S BETTER 

[Captioner] 22:08:29
TO DISCUSS INTERNALLY BEFORE YOU 

[Captioner] 22:08:32
TELL PEOPLE WE MIGHT INVITE YOU, 

[Captioner] 22:08:34
DISCUSS FIRST WHETHER YOU INVITE 

[Captioner] 22:08:35
THEM BEFORE YOU INVOLVE THEM.

[Captioner] 22:08:39
BUT REALLY, WE HAVE NOTHING TO 

[Captioner] 22:08:42
GO ON IF THERE'S A PUBLIC 

[Captioner] 22:08:44
MEETING UNTIL THERE IS SOME MORE 

[Captioner] 22:08:46
DETAILED CHRONOLOGY TO SHOW US A 

[Captioner] 22:08:48
LIST OF ISSUES.

[Captioner] 22:08:51
AS FOR THE RECOGNITIONS, I SPENT 

[Captioner] 22:08:53
OR MAYBE WASTED SEVERAL HOURS OF 

[Captioner] 22:08:56
MY LIFE A COUPLE YEARS AGO, 

[Captioner] 22:08:58
GOING THROUGH TEN OR 20 COUNCIL 

[Captioner] 22:09:00
MEETINGS AND TIMING OUT HOW MUCH 

[Captioner] 22:09:02
WAS SPENT ON EACH ACTIVITY.

[Captioner] 22:09:04
I WASN'T SPECIFICALLY LOOKING 

[Captioner] 22:09:06
FOR THE RECOGNITIONS BUT I WAS 

[Captioner] 22:09:09
STARTED TO SEE THAT IT TOOK -- 

[Captioner] 22:09:11
STARTLED TO SEE THAT IT TOOK UP 

[Captioner] 22:09:12
A BIG BIG TRACTION OF THE 

[Captioner] 22:09:14
MEETINGS AND I'M SURE THE CITY'S 

[Captioner] 22:09:16
BUSINESS COULD BE HANDLED MORE 

[Captioner] 22:09:18
EFFICIENTLY IF WE JUST STOP 

[Captioner] 22:09:18
THOSE IMMEDIATELY.

[Captioner] 22:09:20
I SEE THE VALUE OF TRYING TO 

[Captioner] 22:09:21
KEEP THEM DOWN.

[Captioner] 22:09:23
REALLY AT THIS STAGE WE DON'T 

[Captioner] 22:09:24
HAVE MUCH INFORMATION.

[Captioner] 22:09:25
THANK YOU.

[Captioner] 22:09:26
>> The Clerk:   THANK YOU.

GOLDEN SHAO FOLLOWED BY CHANDRA 

[Captioner] 22:09:32
WATT.

[Captioner] 22:09:34
>> GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND 

[Captioner] 22:09:35
COUNCILMEMBERS.

[Captioner] 22:09:37
THE MAYOR MENTIONED PROCLAMATION 

[Captioner] 22:09:39
OF RESPECT AND DIGGING INTO 

[Captioner] 22:09:40
INTEGRITY BECAUSE OF ME BEING A 

[Captioner] 22:09:43
MEMBER OF THE YOUTH COUNCIL, 

[Captioner] 22:09:46
CALIFORNIA YOUTH COMMISSION AND 

[Captioner] 22:09:49
CALIFORNIA ANNOUNCEMENT, COLLEGE 

[Captioner] 22:09:52
OF SAN MATH IMROA ON ITS 

[Captioner] 22:09:54
ADVOCACY BOARD AND THE 

[Captioner] 22:09:56
PUBLICATION AND MARKING BOARD 

[Captioner] 22:09:58
I'D LIKE TO SAY THAT COVE 

[Captioner] 22:09:59
CONDUCT IS ALWAYS IMPORTANT 

[Captioner] 22:10:00
THING BECAUSE NO MATTER WHICH 

[Captioner] 22:10:02
BOARD WE'RE PART OF WHICH GROUP 

[Captioner] 22:10:05
WE'RE IN WE HAVE TO FOLLOW 

[Captioner] 22:10:07
CONDUCT, VIOLATING A TERM CAN 

[Captioner] 22:10:10
RESULT IN BEING IMPEACHED 

[Captioner] 22:10:11
REMOVED AND KICKED OUT OF  

[Captioner] 22:10:11
OFFICE.

[Captioner] 22:10:13
BUT IT'S ALWAYS IMPORTANT TO 

[Captioner] 22:10:15
RESPECT PEOPLE FROM DIFFERENT 

[Captioner] 22:10:17
GROUPS AND FROM DIFFERENT TYPES 

[Captioner] 22:10:18
OR BACKGROUNDS THEY COME FROM 

[Captioner] 22:10:20
BECAUSE TALKING BAD ABOUT 

[Captioner] 22:10:23
SOMEONE BECAUSE OF BACKGROUND IS 

[Captioner] 22:10:24
DEFINITELY NOT ACCEPTABLE, BUT 

[Captioner] 22:10:27
DENAMING OTHERS IS NOT FAIR AND 

[Captioner] 22:10:30
THIS IS NOT GOOD, COULD RESULT 

[Captioner] 22:10:31
IN LEGAL CONSEQUENCE.

[Captioner] 22:10:33
SO FOR THE FUTURE, OF OUR FUTURE 

[Captioner] 22:10:36
MAYOR BEING ELECTED, FOLLOWING 

[Captioner] 22:10:38
MAYOR MEI'S RETIREMENT, TO 

[Captioner] 22:10:40
HOPEFULLY THAT WE WILL STILL 

[Captioner] 22:10:44
CONTINUE TO WORK EQUITABLY AND 

[Captioner] 22:10:45
TREAT MORE BE MORE DIVERSE AND 

[Captioner] 22:10:49
THAT OUR FUTURE DOIBS CAN 

[Captioner] 22:10:50
DEFINITELY FOLLOW THE HANDBOOK 

[Captioner] 22:10:52
AND ADHERE TO THE TERMS ONCE 

[Captioner] 22:10:54
SERVING IN OFFICE AND TO NOT BE 

[Captioner] 22:10:56
LIKE VERY AGITATED AND START 

[Captioner] 22:10:58
DEFAMING AND TALKED ABOUT BY 

[Captioner] 22:10:59
OTHERS.

[Captioner] 22:11:01
SUCH MEDIA IS CAUSING WORST 

[Captioner] 22:11:02
STATE IT WOULD BE HARD TO GET 

[Captioner] 22:11:04
RID OF SO PLEASE DO FOLLOW THE 

[Captioner] 22:11:06
HANDBOOK THAT MAYOR MEI HAS 

[Captioner] 22:11:08
REITERATED EARLIER AND SPOKEN 

[Captioner] 22:11:10
EARLIER, THANK YOU.

[Captioner] 22:11:15
>> The Clerk:   CHANDRA WAG AND 

[Captioner] 22:11:19
THEN THE LAST CALL FOR RKG IS 

[Captioner] 22:11:20
THE ONLY INITIALS THAT ARE ON 

[Captioner] 22:11:20
THIS CARD.

[Captioner] 22:11:25
>> HELLO, AND GOOD EVENING 

[Captioner] 22:11:25
EVERYONE.

[Captioner] 22:11:31
I'M HERE TODAY, I READ A

[Captioner] 22:11:35
 NEWS, SPECIFICALLY

[Captioner] 22:11:37
 WHICH HIGHLIGHTED THIS 

[Captioner] 22:11:38
PARTICULAR AGENDA UP TO THIS 

[Captioner] 22:11:41
MEETING THAT THERE IS A 

[Captioner] 22:11:41
PROCEEDINGS AGAINST 

[Captioner] 22:11:43
COUNCILMEMBER COX.

[Captioner] 22:11:46
I KNOW TERESA COX FOR LONG 

[Captioner] 22:11:48
DURATION, ALMOST LIKE MORE THAN 

[Captioner] 22:11:49
EIGHT YEARS.

[Captioner] 22:11:51
AFTER READING THE MEETING  

[Captioner] 22:11:54
AGENDA, MY CURIOSITY GREW AFTER 

[Captioner] 22:11:56
READING THE ARTICLE, SORRY, WENT 

[Captioner] 22:11:58
TO THE AGENDA AND I LOOKED AT 

[Captioner] 22:11:58
INFORMATION.

[Captioner] 22:12:01
THERE WAS DETAILS ABOUT OTHER 

[Captioner] 22:12:03
ITEMS BUT NOT MUCH ABOUT THIS.

[Captioner] 22:12:06
SO I THOUGHT LET ME GO TO THE 

[Captioner] 22:12:07
CITY COUNCIL AND SEE WHAT 

[Captioner] 22:12:08
HAPPENS IN COUNCIL AGENDA.

[Captioner] 22:12:13
SO AFTER HEARING AND LISTENING 

[Captioner] 22:12:15
ALL THE DETAILS FROM MAYOR MEI, 

[Captioner] 22:12:17
WHO REPEATEDLY SEWED THAT THIS 

[Captioner] 22:12:21
IS NOT POLITICAL BUT I AM 

[Captioner] 22:12:22
SUSPICIOUS THAT WHEN WE BRING 

[Captioner] 22:12:24
THIS KIND OF PROCEEDINGS ABOUT 

[Captioner] 22:12:26
OUR OWN COUNCILMEMBER IN THE 

[Captioner] 22:12:29
PUBLIC, IT IS HARD TO BELIEVE 

[Captioner] 22:12:30
THAT THIS IS NOT POLITICAL.

[Captioner] 22:12:35
ALSO, SO I CAME HERE TO FIND OUT 

[Captioner] 22:12:37
MORE DETAILS AS THE AGENDA ITEM 

[Captioner] 22:12:39
DID NOT DESCRIBE, I WANTED TO 

[Captioner] 22:12:41
FIND OUT WHAT IS THE REAL INTENT 

[Captioner] 22:12:42
BEHIND IT.

[Captioner] 22:12:43
SO THAT'S WHAT I'M HERE TO SHARE 

[Captioner] 22:12:45
MY CONCERN.

[Captioner] 22:12:46
AND THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR 

[Captioner] 22:12:46
LISTENING.

[Captioner] 22:12:53
>> Mayor Mei:   IS THAT THE LAST 

[Captioner] 22:12:54
SPEAKER?

[Captioner] 22:12:55
>> The Clerk:   YES.

[Captioner] 22:12:56
>> Mayor Mei:   SO I WANT TO 

[Captioner] 22:12:58
CLARIFY FOR PEOPLE WHO HAVE 

[Captioner] 22:12:59
ASKED AND I'VE HEARD SOME OF THE 

[Captioner] 22:13:01
SPEAKERS TALK ABOUT THIS.

[Captioner] 22:13:02
AND I WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT 

[Captioner] 22:13:05
THE PUBLIC UNDERSTANDS.

[Captioner] 22:13:07
THAT THE ACTIONS THAT HAVE 

[Captioner] 22:13:09
HAPPENED OVER THE LAST COUPLE 

[Captioner] 22:13:11
YEARS HAVE RESULTED IN DIRECT 

[Captioner] 22:13:15
THREATS TO ME, AND HARM, AND DIS

[Captioner] 22:13:18
 DISRESPECT THAT THERE HAS BEEN 

[Captioner] 22:13:20
DELIBERATE SLANDER, AND 

[Captioner] 22:13:22
UNFORTUNATELY, WHEN THESE 

[Captioner] 22:13:23
INCIDENTS HAPPENED AND THINGS 

[Captioner] 22:13:27
HAVE NOT BEEN HONED AND I THINK

[Captioner] 22:13:29
 IT'S A LITTLE BIT INTERESTING 

[Captioner] 22:13:30
THAT SOME OF THE SPEAKERS ARE 

[Captioner] 22:13:33
TALKING ABOUT EQUITABLE 

[Captioner] 22:13:34
TREATMENT.

[Captioner] 22:13:38
WHEN THAT WAS CERTAINLY

[Captioner] 22:13:41
 LESS THAN AFFORDED TO ME AS AN 

[Captioner] 22:13:44
INDIVIDUAL.

[Captioner] 22:13:47
AND IT'S INTERESTING IN THIS 

[Captioner] 22:13:48
MOMENT WITH ALL THE HATE THAT 

[Captioner] 22:13:49
GOES OUT THERE.

[Captioner] 22:13:51
AND I KNOW THAT WE HAVE ALL THIS 

[Captioner] 22:13:54
DISCUSSION ABOUT RESPECT, THAT 

[Captioner] 22:13:59
IN MY ROLE AS THE THE MAYOR,

[Captioner] 22:14:02
 WHEN PEOPLE HAVE BEEN WHITE OR 

[Captioner] 22:14:04
MALE IN THIS ROLE, THEY DID NOT 

[Captioner] 22:14:07
GET CHALLENGED IN THE SAME WAY 

[Captioner] 22:14:09
OR TREATED THE WAY THAT I HAVE.

[Captioner] 22:14:12
AND I WANTED IT STATED ON PUBLIC 

[Captioner] 22:14:13
RECORD THAT SOME OF THESE 

[Captioner] 22:14:16
ACTIONS WHEN THEY GO OUT, AND 

[Captioner] 22:14:18
HAVE SAID THAT I'M ANTIDIFFERENT 

[Captioner] 22:14:19
GROUPS OF PEOPLE AND OTHER 

[Captioner] 22:14:23
THINGS, FOR YOU, IT MAY BE AN 

[Captioner] 22:14:26
ACTION FOR THIS MOMENT BUT HAS 

[Captioner] 22:14:27
RESULTED IN DIRECT HARM AND 

[Captioner] 22:14:30
THREAT TO ME INDIVIDUALLY.

[Captioner] 22:14:33
SO PLEASE REMEMBER THAT I AS AN 

[Captioner] 22:14:34
INDIVIDUAL RAN TO BE YOUR MAYOR 

[Captioner] 22:14:37
AND TO LEAD AND TO EARN THE 

[Captioner] 22:14:39
RESPECT OF GOVERNANCE IN THIS 

[Captioner] 22:14:40
TITLE.

[Captioner] 22:14:43
AND THAT I HAVE NOT ASKING FOR 

[Captioner] 22:14:45
SOMETHING THAT IS UNBECOMING OR 

[Captioner] 22:14:47
UNAWARENESS, BECAUSE WE'VE 

[Captioner] 22:14:50
TALKED ABOUT THIS CODE OF 

[Captioner] 22:14:52
CONDUCT ACROSS OUR COUNCIL 

[Captioner] 22:14:52
MEETING.

[Captioner] 22:14:55
I WOULD HAVE MUCH RATHER NOT HAD 

[Captioner] 22:14:57
TO COME OUT TO THIS DISCUSSION.

[Captioner] 22:14:59
I WOULD HAVE LOVED TO HAVE HAD 

[Captioner] 22:15:00
THIS SOMETHING THAT WE COULD 

[Captioner] 22:15:02
HAVE WORKED THROUGH IN ANY OF 

[Captioner] 22:15:04
OUR OTHER COUNCIL MEETINGS, IN 

[Captioner] 22:15:06
OUR COUNCIL RETREATS.

[Captioner] 22:15:08
BUT DESPITE HAVING REPEATED 

[Captioner] 22:15:11
DISCUSSIONS ABOUT THIS, IT IS 

[Captioner] 22:15:13
SOMETHING THAT CONTINUES.

[Captioner] 22:15:15
AND SO IF THIS IS HOW YOU WANT 

[Captioner] 22:15:17
TO REMEMBER THAT THE WAY THE 

[Captioner] 22:15:19
ROLE OF THE MAYOR SHOULD BE 

[Captioner] 22:15:21
TREATED, AND THAT THERE IS A 

[Captioner] 22:15:23
SECOND CLASS FOR HOW A MAYOR 

[Captioner] 22:15:27
SHOULD BE TREATED IN THIS ROLE, 

[Captioner] 22:15:30
AS A WOMAN, AS AN ASIAN, I HAVE 

[Captioner] 22:15:32
BEEN IN EVERY SINGLE -- WELL 

[Captioner] 22:15:34
LET'S NOT TALK ABOUT POLITICIAN 

[Captioner] 22:15:37
OR ELECTIONEERING FROM SOME OF 

[Captioner] 22:15:38
THE PEOPLE WHO SPOKE.

[Captioner] 22:15:39
I THINK THAT SOME OF THE CONDUCT 

[Captioner] 22:15:42
IN THE PAST HAS BEEN DIRECTLY -- 

[Captioner] 22:15:45
I HAVE BEEN BULLIED THREATENED 

[Captioner] 22:15:48
EX TORTED BLACKMAILED IN ALMOST 

[Captioner] 22:15:50
EVERY ELECTION I'VE RUN IN, IN 

[Captioner] 22:15:50
THIS CITY.

[Captioner] 22:15:52
AND IT'S VERY SAD THAT SOME OF 

[Captioner] 22:15:54
THE VERY PEOPLE WHO HAVE SPOKEN 

[Captioner] 22:15:55
ABOUT THIS AND THE RIGHT FOR 

[Captioner] 22:15:58
PEOPLE TO HAVE REPRESENTATION, 

[Captioner] 22:16:00
ARE THE ONES THAT HAVE DONE THIS 

[Captioner] 22:16:01
TO ME.

[Captioner] 22:16:04
SO I HOP THAT FOR ALL THOSE -- 

[Captioner] 22:16:06
HOPE THAT FOR ALL THOSE WHO ARE 

[Captioner] 22:16:07
WATCHING OR ARE AWARE OF WHO 

[Captioner] 22:16:10
THEY ARE ARE AWARE OF THEIR OWN 

[Captioner] 22:16:10
CONDUCT.

[Captioner] 22:16:13
AND I HAVE REIT POOHEDLY ASKED 

[Captioner] 22:16:14
PEOPLE NOT TO -- WHEN WE SEND 

[Captioner] 22:16:17
OUT THESE PROGRAMS AND STUFF, IT 

[Captioner] 22:16:17
DOESN'T HELP PEOPLE.

[Captioner] 22:16:19
IT DOESN'T BRING PEOPLE TOGETHER 

[Captioner] 22:16:21
IF YOU TELL PEOPLE THAT WE ARE 

[Captioner] 22:16:22
GOING TO BE DOING SOMETHING AND 

[Captioner] 22:16:24
YOU HAVE NOT RESPECTED THE ROLE 

[Captioner] 22:16:27
OF THE MAYOR TO GET THE APPROVAL 

[Captioner] 22:16:29
AND OWN DORSMENT AND THEN GO 

[Captioner] 22:16:30
BACK AND TELL LARGE GROUPS OF 

[Captioner] 22:16:32
PEOPLE THAT MEANS THAT THE MAYOR 

[Captioner] 22:16:33
MUST HATE YOU.

[Captioner] 22:16:36
BECAUSE WHAT IT RESULTS IN IS 

[Captioner] 22:16:37
NOT SOMETHING THAT BRINGS PEOPLE 

[Captioner] 22:16:38
TOGETHER.

[Captioner] 22:16:40
IT IS SOMETHING THAT DIVIDES 

[Captioner] 22:16:40
PEOPLE.

[Captioner] 22:16:43
AND IF THIS IS THE CONDUCT THAT 

[Captioner] 22:16:44
MY COUNCIL WANTS TO CONDONE OR 

[Captioner] 22:16:47
THE PUBLIC WANTS TO CONDONE, I 

[Captioner] 22:16:50
HOPE THAT YOU'RE PROUD OF  

[Captioner] 22:16:51
YOURSELVES BECAUSE LITERALLY 

[Captioner] 22:16:53
EVERY THE YEARS, FOR THOSE WHO 

[Captioner] 22:16:55
HAVE NOT SEEN I HAVE HAD PEOPLE 

[Captioner] 22:16:57
COME TO MY HOME, I'VE HAD PEOPLE 

[Captioner] 22:16:59
THREATEN MY FAMILY, I'VE HAD 

[Captioner] 22:17:01
PEOPLE CATCH MY LAWN ON FIRE.

[Captioner] 22:17:02
AND THIS IS THE WAY THAT YOU 

[Captioner] 22:17:03
WANT TO CONDUCT.

[Captioner] 22:17:05
I HAVE ALWAYS KEPT A 

[Captioner] 22:17:07
PROFESSIONAL IN TERMS OF HOW I 

[Captioner] 22:17:07
TREAT OTHERS.

[Captioner] 22:17:09
AND HAVE ASKED FOR PEOPLE TO 

[Captioner] 22:17:12
TREAT ME WITH EQUAL RESPECT.

[Captioner] 22:17:14
BUT IT'S ONE THAT PERHAPS THE 

[Captioner] 22:17:15
PUBLIC DOESN'T AGREE WITH.

[Captioner] 22:17:18
AND I HAVE TO RESPECT THAT TOO.

[Captioner] 22:17:20
BUT I'M ASKING THAT THIS IS 

[Captioner] 22:17:22
SOMETHING THAT WE LOOK INTO, 

[Captioner] 22:17:23
BECAUSE IT'S NOT FAIR.

[Captioner] 22:17:25
I RAN TO BE YOUR MAYOR TO LEAD 

[Captioner] 22:17:26
THE CITY.

[Captioner] 22:17:30
I DID NOT RUN TO BE YOUR PINATA.

[Captioner] 22:17:31
SO PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS IS 

[Captioner] 22:17:32
SOMETHING THAT'S VERY IMPORTANT 

[Captioner] 22:17:35
FOR PEOPLE TO UNDERSTAND.

[Captioner] 22:17:37
IN THIS MOMENT RIGHT NOW THERE 

[Captioner] 22:17:39
IS SUCH DIVISIVENESS IN THIS 

[Captioner] 22:17:41
COUNTRY AND I HEAR ALL THE TIME 

[Captioner] 22:17:42
HOW PEOPLE WANT ME TO RESPECT 

[Captioner] 22:17:45
AND TO HELP AND CELEBRATE  

[Captioner] 22:17:45
OTHERS.

[Captioner] 22:17:47
BUT KNOW THAT I DON'T CELEBRATE 

[Captioner] 22:17:49
OTHERS BY TEARING OTHERS DOWN.

[Captioner] 22:17:51
THAT IS NOT HOW I CONDUCT  

[Captioner] 22:17:51
MYSELF.

[Captioner] 22:17:54
AND IT IS A SHAME AND A SHAM, IF 

[Captioner] 22:17:55
THAT'S WHAT WE'RE GOING TO 

[Captioner] 22:17:56
CONDONE.

[Captioner] 22:17:59
SO I JUST WANTED TO MAKE MY 

[Captioner] 22:17:59
STATEMENT PUBLICLY.

[Captioner] 22:18:03
COUNCILMEMBER SHAO.

[Captioner] 22:18:04
>> Councilmember Shao:   FIRST 

[Captioner] 22:18:07
OF ALL, THANK YOU VERY MUCH, 

[Captioner] 22:18:10
MADAM MAYOR AND I WANT TO WISH 

[Captioner] 22:18:12
EVERYONE HAPPY MOON FESTIVAL.

[Captioner] 22:18:15
TODAY IS THE MOON FESTIVAL IN 

[Captioner] 22:18:17
CHINESE CULTURE.

[Captioner] 22:18:19
THIS DAY OF THE YEAR, FAMILY 

[Captioner] 22:18:21
MEMBERS GATHER TOGETHER, ENJOY 

[Captioner] 22:18:24
THE FULL MOON, AND THEN EAT THE 

[Captioner] 22:18:25
MOON CAKE.

[Captioner] 22:18:29
WHICH IS IN THE SHAPE OF A 

[Captioner] 22:18:30
PERFECT CIRCLE.

[Captioner] 22:18:32
THE PERFECT CIRCLE --

[Captioner] 22:18:32
>> Councilmember Cox:   THIS IS 

[Captioner] 22:18:36
NOT STAYING ON TOPIC.

[Captioner] 22:18:38
>> Councilmember Shao:   

[Captioner] 22:18:39
REPRESENTS THE UNITY AND 

[Captioner] 22:18:41
SOLIDARITY OF THE FAMILY  

[Captioner] 22:18:42
MEMBERS.

[Captioner] 22:18:45
I UNDERSTAND THAT TODAY, WE HAVE 

[Captioner] 22:18:48
TO HAVE A HEAVY HEART TO DEAL 

[Captioner] 22:18:52
WITH THE UNITY AND SOLIDARITY 

[Captioner] 22:18:55
ISSUE IN OUR COUNCIL.

[Captioner] 22:18:58
TODAY, LET ME MAKE IT CLEAR, 

[Captioner] 22:19:02
IT'S NOT THE TIME TO JUDGE 

[Captioner] 22:19:05
WHETHER IT IS PROPER FOR 

[Captioner] 22:19:08
COUNCILMEMBER COX TO  

[Captioner] 22:19:12
MISREPRESENT THAT SHE WAS THE 

[Captioner] 22:19:15
FIRST AFRICAN AMERICAN WOMAN 

[Captioner] 22:19:17
THAT RECEIVED THE NUCLEAR 

[Captioner] 22:19:19
ENGINEERING DEGREE IN THE  

[Captioner] 22:19:19
NATION.

[Captioner] 22:19:23
IT IS ALSO NOT THE MOMENT TO 

[Captioner] 22:19:27
JUDGE WHETHER COUNCILMEMBER COX 

[Captioner] 22:19:30
KEPT IN HER LINKED IN PROFILE 

[Captioner] 22:19:33
THE RECORD THAT SHE HAD BEEN THE 

[Captioner] 22:19:35
VIE MAYOR OF CITY OF FREMONT FOR 

[Captioner] 22:19:37
THREE YEARS.

[Captioner] 22:19:40
LIKEWISE, IT WAS NOT THE MOMENT 

[Captioner] 22:19:44
TO JUDGE WHETHER IT IS A PROPER 

[Captioner] 22:19:49
CONDUCT OF COUNCILMEMBER COX IN 

[Captioner] 22:19:54
HER INTRODUCTION IN THE CITY WEB 

[Captioner] 22:19:57
PAGE REGARDING HER DIFFERENT 

[Captioner] 22:20:03
APPOINTMENTS, FOR EXAMPLE, THE

[Captioner] 22:20:08
 WORD NORTHERN WAS

[Captioner] 22:20:12
 CONVENIENTLY LEFT OUT WHEN SHE 

[Captioner] 22:20:15
MENTIONED HER APPOINTMENT IN THE 

[Captioner] 22:20:16
NORTHERN CALIFORNIA EXPORT 

[Captioner] 22:20:16
COUNCIL.

[Captioner] 22:20:20
IT WAS ALSO NOT THE MOMENT TO 

[Captioner] 22:20:20
JUDGE.

[Captioner] 22:20:25
WHETHER THIS IS THE CHANCE FOR 

[Captioner] 22:20:28
THE MAYOR TO GET EVEN WITH 

[Captioner] 22:20:32
COUNCILMEMBER COX OUT OF A 

[Captioner] 22:20:33
PERSONAL FEUD.

[Captioner] 22:20:36
I BELIEVE, WHILE WE ARE ALL 

[Captioner] 22:20:40
WATCHING TONIGHT'S SESSION, 

[Captioner] 22:20:43
EITHER PHYSICALLY OR REMOTELY, 

[Captioner] 22:20:45
FOR ANYONE WHO HAVE COMMON SENSE 

[Captioner] 22:20:49
IT IS TIME FOR US TO DECIDE 

[Captioner] 22:20:52
WHETHER, BASED ON THE FOLLOWING 

[Captioner] 22:20:56
FACTS, I'M GOING TO INTRODUCE, 

[Captioner] 22:21:00
IT IS REASONABLE TO CONSIDER

[Captioner] 22:21:04
 THE INITIATION OF THE

[Captioner] 22:21:09
 CENSURE STUDY BY THE CITY STAFF

[Captioner] 22:21:10
.

[Captioner] 22:21:12
WHAT ARE THE FACTS?

[Captioner] 22:21:17
FACT NUMBER 1:  AFTER

[Captioner] 22:21:20
 COUNCILMEMBER COX WAS ELECTED 

[Captioner] 22:21:26
IN 2020, SUDDENLY, THE NUMBER

[Captioner] 22:21:30
 OF PROCLAMATIONS INCREASED 

[Captioner] 22:21:32
DRAMATICALLY.

[Captioner] 22:21:36
FACT NUMBER 2:  OF ALL THE

[Captioner] 22:21:38
 COUNCILMEMBERS, NOT MENTIONING 

[Captioner] 22:21:42
MAYOR WHO HAS THIS AUTHORITY TO 

[Captioner] 22:21:45
REQUEST PROCLAMATION, 

[Captioner] 22:21:48
COUNCILMEMBER COX WAS THE ONLY 

[Captioner] 22:21:51
COUNCILMEMBER THAT MADE THE 

[Captioner] 22:21:53
REQUEST FOR SUCH PROCLAMATION.

[Captioner] 22:21:59
FACT NUMBER 3:  INEVITABLY

[Captioner] 22:22:04
, EACH AND EVERY RECIPIENT OF

[Captioner] 22:22:07
 THOSE PROCLAMATIONS WOULD START 

[Captioner] 22:22:10
THEIR SPEECH BY THANKING 

[Captioner] 22:22:12
COUNCILMEMBER COX FOR THE 

[Captioner] 22:22:15
PROCLAMATION.

[Captioner] 22:22:20
FACT NUMBER 4:  DURING THE

[Captioner] 22:22:24
 PAST SEVERAL ANNUAL COUNCIL 

[Captioner] 22:22:26
RETREATS, ALL THE COUNCILMEMBERS 

[Captioner] 22:22:30
ADDRESSED THIS ISSUE WITH THE 

[Captioner] 22:22:32
GOING MIND THAT THE PRECIOUS 

[Captioner] 22:22:35
TIME OF COUNCIL MEETING SHOULD 

[Captioner] 22:22:37
BE FOCUSING ON THE DISCUSSION 

[Captioner] 22:22:39
AND DECISION MAKING OF CRITICAL 

[Captioner] 22:22:41
ISSUES THAT THE CITY FACE.

[Captioner] 22:22:47
RATHER THAN SPENDING A LOT OF 

[Captioner] 22:22:53
TIME ON THAT CEREMONIAL PART.

[Captioner] 22:22:57
FACT NUMBER -- I LOST MY COUNT.

[Captioner] 22:22:59
MAYBE NUMBER KNIFE, MAYBE NUMBER 

[Captioner] 22:22:59
6.

[Captioner] 22:23:00
WHO CARES.

[Captioner] 22:23:04
DURING THE LAST COUNCIL MEETING, 

[Captioner] 22:23:06
COUNCIL RETREAT, WHICH TOOK 

[Captioner] 22:23:09
PLACE IN APRIL THIS YEAR, ALL 

[Captioner] 22:23:12
THE COUNCILMEMBERS SHOWED THEIR 

[Captioner] 22:23:16
DISBELIEF THAT WHEN 

[Captioner] 22:23:17
COUNCILMEMBER COX CLAIMED THAT 

[Captioner] 22:23:21
IT WAS ALWAYS THAT THOSE 

[Captioner] 22:23:23
ORGANIZATIONS AND INDIVIDUALS 

[Captioner] 22:23:26
APPROACHED HER FIRST.

[Captioner] 22:23:29
THEN SHE SUBMITTED ALL THE THE 

[Captioner] 22:23:32
REQUESTS ON THEIR BEHALF.

[Captioner] 22:23:36
FACT:

[Captioner] 22:23:40
  IN FEBRUARY THIS YEAR, THE 

[Captioner] 22:23:43
PRESIDENT OF CITIZENS FOR BETTER 

[Captioner] 22:23:47
COMMUNITY AND THE LEADER OF 

[Captioner] 22:23:50
SOUTH BAY CHINESE CLUB WERE 

[Captioner] 22:23:51
APPROACHED BY COUNCILMEMBER COX 

[Captioner] 22:23:53
CLAIMING THAT SHE HAD ALREADY 

[Captioner] 22:23:58
SUBMITTED A REQUEST FOR 

[Captioner] 22:24:03
PROCLAMATION FOR CVC AND SBCC 

[Captioner] 22:24:07
FOR THE CELEBRATION OF LUNAR

[Captioner] 22:24:08
 NEW YEAR.

[Captioner] 22:24:12
AND PRESIDENT HEAR LEONG WAS 

[Captioner] 22:24:15
ASKED, WHICH TUESDAY WOULD BE  

[Captioner] 22:24:19
THE BEST TIME FOR HIM TO COME TO 

[Captioner] 22:24:22
THE CITY COUNCIL TO RECEIVE SUCH 

[Captioner] 22:24:26
A PROCLAMATION.

[Captioner] 22:24:33
FACT:  IN THE

[Captioner] 22:24:37
 APPENDIX C OF OUR

[Captioner] 22:24:40
 CITY COUNCIL HANDBOOK, IT WAS 

[Captioner] 22:24:44
WRITTEN VERY CLEARLY THAT ONLY 

[Captioner] 22:24:48
COMMUNITY MEMBERS AND NONPROFIT 

[Captioner] 22:24:52
ORGANIZATIONS COULD MAKE SUCH 

[Captioner] 22:24:57
REQUEST FOR PROCLAMATION.

[Captioner] 22:25:02
FACT:  AFTER

[Captioner] 22:25:06
 THIS REFERRAL, LET ME GO BACK.

[Captioner] 22:25:09
FACT:  AFTER IT HAS BEEN SHOWN 

[Captioner] 22:25:12
AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN 

[Captioner] 22:25:15
THROUGH COUNCIL RETREAT, THE 

[Captioner] 22:25:16
COUNCIL ALREADY REACHED THE 

[Captioner] 22:25:19
CONSENSUS TO ASK COUNCILMEMBER 

[Captioner] 22:25:23
COX TO STOP SUCH OF CONDUCT.

[Captioner] 22:25:27
THAT'S IN DIRECT VIOLATION OF 

[Captioner] 22:25:29
THE HANDBOOK.

[Captioner] 22:25:30
HER BEHAVIOR NEVER CHANGED.

[Captioner] 22:25:37
FACT:  THE CITY ATTORNEY AND

[Captioner] 22:25:40
 CITY MANAGER MADE IT CLEAR TO 

[Captioner] 22:25:44
THE CITY COUNCIL THAT THEY ARE 

[Captioner] 22:25:49
NOT THE POWER OR AUTHORITY TO 

[Captioner] 22:25:50
ENFORCE THE CITY COUNCIL 

[Captioner] 22:25:51
HANDBOOK.

[Captioner] 22:25:56
RATHER, IT IS THE

[Captioner] 22:25:58
 CITY COUNCIL ITSELF THAT WOULD 

[Captioner] 22:26:00
ENFORCE THE HANDBOOK.

[Captioner] 22:26:05
HAD MAYOR MEI NOT MADE THIS 

[Captioner] 22:26:08
REFERRAL, I WOULD HAVE MADE THE 

[Captioner] 22:26:13
SAME REFERRAL FOR THE SAME 

[Captioner] 22:26:13
PROPOSAL.

[Captioner] 22:26:15
WHY?

[Captioner] 22:26:18
BECAUSE AS YOU KNOW, I HAVE BEEN 

[Captioner] 22:26:20
FACING THE FACT THAT ONE OF THE 

[Captioner] 22:26:25
FORMER CITY COUNCIL WOMAN WAS IN 

[Captioner] 22:26:27
CONSTANT VIOLATION OF THE CITY 

[Captioner] 22:26:30
COUNCIL HANDBOOK BY USING THE 

[Captioner] 22:26:31
ELECTRONIC DEVICE IMPROPERLY.

[Captioner] 22:26:37
WHICH IS ISN'T ALREADY AN OPEN

[Captioner] 22:26:40
 SECRET TO THE CITY.

[Captioner] 22:26:40
>> Councilmember Cox:   THAT IS 

[Captioner] 22:26:42
NOT THE PROCLAMATION ISSUE, THAT 

[Captioner] 22:26:44
IS OUT OF TOPIC.

[Captioner] 22:26:45
>> Mayor Mei:   HE'S ALLOWED TO 

[Captioner] 22:26:47
SPEAK JUST LIKE YOU WILL BE.

[Captioner] 22:26:48
>> Councilmember Shao:   I WAS 

[Captioner] 22:26:49
ASKING THE CITY ATTORNEY AND THE 

[Captioner] 22:26:52
CITY MANAGER TO TAKE ACTION TO 

[Captioner] 22:26:52
STOP THAT.

[Captioner] 22:26:56
I WAS TOLD THEY CANNOT DO 

[Captioner] 22:26:57
ANYTHING ABOUT IT.

[Captioner] 22:27:01
MAKING REFERRAL FOR CENSURE IS 

[Captioner] 22:27:04
THE ONLY NECESSARY STEP TO MOVE 

[Captioner] 22:27:06
FORWARD ON THAT ISSUE.

[Captioner] 22:27:10
HENCE, THIS REFERRAL

[Captioner] 22:27:15
 IS JUST ABOUT THE ACTION TO 

[Captioner] 22:27:19
TAKE, TO STOP THE CONSTANT 

[Captioner] 22:27:21
VIOLATION OF THE HANDBOOK.

[Captioner] 22:27:25
REGARDING THE PROCLAMATION.

[Captioner] 22:27:29
IN ADDITION, AS WE KNOW,

[Captioner] 22:27:32
 THIS, AFTER THIS REFERRAL WAS 

[Captioner] 22:27:36
MADE PUBLIC, THEN COUNCILMEMBER 

[Captioner] 22:27:40
COX SENT OUT

[Captioner] 22:27:47
 NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC THAT MAYOR 

[Captioner] 22:27:50
MEI HAS ALREADY LAUNCHED A 

[Captioner] 22:27:51
RACIAL WAR.

[Captioner] 22:27:53
THIS IS IN DIRECT VIOLATION OF 

[Captioner] 22:27:57
THE CITY COUNCIL BOOK CHAPTER 1, 

[Captioner] 22:28:01
NUMBER 7 OF THE

[Captioner] 22:28:01
 NEW ORLEANS.

[Captioner] 22:28:04
WHICH MEANS NEVER ASSUME INTENT 

[Captioner] 22:28:05
REGARDING OTHER COUNCILMEMBER 

[Captioner] 22:28:06
ACTIONS.

[Captioner] 22:28:08
DO NOT ASCRIBE MOTIVES.

[Captioner] 22:28:14
IT'S VERY DMOOUN

[Captioner] 22:28:19
 COMMUNION FOR ANYONE TO PLAY

[Captioner] 22:28:22
 THE RACE CARD IF THREE HAVE NO 

[Captioner] 22:28:23
DEFENSE ELSE FOR THEIR 

[Captioner] 22:28:24
MISCONDUCT.

[Captioner] 22:28:28
HOWEVER, FOR

[Captioner] 22:28:32
 RESPECTFUL POLITICAL LEADERS 

[Captioner] 22:28:34
LIKE PRESIDENT OBAMA, WHEN HE 

[Captioner] 22:28:38
WAS CRITICIZED BY THE CONGRESS, 

[Captioner] 22:28:41
BY THE MEDIA, YOU NEVER SEE HIM 

[Captioner] 22:28:44
PLAY RACE CARD.

[Captioner] 22:28:48
WHEN POLICE CHIEF

[Captioner] 22:28:49
 SEAN WASHINGTON WAS JUST 

[Captioner] 22:28:51
CRITICIZED BY ONE OF THE 

[Captioner] 22:28:55
ATTENDEES REGARDING THE DATA 

[Captioner] 22:28:58
TRANSPARENCY, HE DIDN'T DEFEND 

[Captioner] 22:29:01
BY ACCUSING THE ATTENDEE OF 

[Captioner] 22:29:04
LAUNCHING A RACE  WAR.

[Captioner] 22:29:08
IN FACT, PLAYING THE RACE CARD

[Captioner] 22:29:12
 IS THE VERY --

[Captioner] 22:29:16
 THE EXACT EVIDENCE THAT THERE'S 

[Captioner] 22:29:21
NO OTHER REASONABLE AND 

[Captioner] 22:29:24
LEGITIMATE DEFENSE FOR THAT KIND 

[Captioner] 22:29:27
OF MISCONDUCT.

[Captioner] 22:29:30
SO TODAY, I URGE ALL OF YOU TO 

[Captioner] 22:29:35
LOOK AT THE ISSUE, TO SEE

[Captioner] 22:29:40
 WHETHER OR NOT, BY COMPARING TO 

[Captioner] 22:29:43
THE CITY COUNCIL BOOK, CITY 

[Captioner] 22:29:46
COUNCIL HANDBOOK, THAT HAS BEEN 

[Captioner] 22:29:48
ALREADY ATTACHED TO THE GREEN 

[Captioner] 22:29:52
SHEET OF THIS ACTION ITEM, 

[Captioner] 22:29:54
ACCORDING TO THE BROWN ACT, WORD 

[Captioner] 22:30:00
BY WORD, IT'S UP TO YOU TO

[Captioner] 22:30:03
 JUDGE WHETHER THERE IS ANY 

[Captioner] 22:30:04
VIOLATION OF THE CITY COUNCIL 

[Captioner] 22:30:05
HANDBOOK.

[Captioner] 22:30:10
IT IS UP TO THE VOTERS OF 

[Captioner] 22:30:13
DISTRICT 6 TO DECIDE ON THAT 

[Captioner] 22:30:15
ISSUE, TOO.

[Captioner] 22:30:19
BECAUSE AFTER ALL,

[Captioner] 22:30:22
 I BELIEVE EACH AND EVERY VOTER 

[Captioner] 22:30:24
IN DISTRICT 6 OF TREATMENT IS 

[Captioner] 22:30:28
ENTITLED TO A REPRESENTATIVE

[Captioner] 22:30:31
 THAT HAS THE HIGH INTEGRITY, 

[Captioner] 22:30:34
THE TEAM SPIRIT, THE SPIRIT OF 

[Captioner] 22:30:38
 UNITY AND SOLIDARITY

[Captioner] 22:30:40
, TO WORK WITH THE REST OF THE 

[Captioner] 22:30:42
CITY COUNCIL, RATHER THAN 

[Captioner] 22:30:44
DISTRACTING THE WHOLE CITY 

[Captioner] 22:30:49
COUNCIL, IGNORING REPEATED 

[Captioner] 22:30:53
ADVICE ABOUT THE MISCONDUCT,

[Captioner] 22:30:58
 AND NEGLECT, THE DUTY THAT THAT 

[Captioner] 22:31:01
PERSON HAS TO REPRESENT DISTRICT 

[Captioner] 22:31:04
6.

[Captioner] 22:31:08
SO IN SUMMARY, I BELIEVE IN

[Captioner] 22:31:10
 MY PERSONAL OPINION THE FACTS 

[Captioner] 22:31:15
THAT I JUST CITED

[Captioner] 22:31:19
 IS PROFOUND AND IT IS

[Captioner] 22:31:23
 ENOUGH TO JUSTIFY THIS

[Captioner] 22:31:29
 REFERRAL

[Captioner] 22:31:34
 TO INITIATE A REFERRAL FOR

[Captioner] 22:31:38
 CENSURE FOR HO GOANS TERESA COX 

[Captioner] 22:31:39
CITY COUNCIL WOMAN REPRESENTING 

[Captioner] 22:31:40
DISTRICT 6.

[Captioner] 22:31:41
>> Mayor Mei:   THANK YOU.

[Captioner] 22:31:44
COUNCILMEMBER COX.

[Captioner] 22:31:45
>> Councilmember Cox:   THANK 

[Captioner] 22:31:47
YOU.

[Captioner] 22:31:50
TODAY THE CITY OF FREMONT IS NOT 

[Captioner] 22:31:53
THE HAPPIEST CITY IN THE U.S.A.

[Captioner] 22:31:55
IT IS THE SAD DAY WHEN OUR CITY 

[Captioner] 22:31:59
IS FILLED WITH TURMOIL INTERNAL 

[Captioner] 22:32:02
FIGHTING AND SOCIAL INJUSTICE.

[Captioner] 22:32:06
AS MAYOR MEI HAS TARGETED ME

[Captioner] 22:32:10
 AT THIS TIME, AS I AM THE FIRST 

[Captioner] 22:32:11
AFRICAN AMERICAN EVER ELECTED TO 

[Captioner] 22:32:13
CITY COUNCIL HERE IN ALMOST 70 

[Captioner] 22:32:16
YEARS OF THE CITY'S HISTORY.

[Captioner] 22:32:18
I'M A SINGLE MOTHER WHO HAS 

[Captioner] 22:32:20
RAISED MY TWO AMAZINGS KIDS HERE 

[Captioner] 22:32:22
IN FREMONT AND I HAVE WORKED ALL 

[Captioner] 22:32:24
MY LIFE AS A 25 YEAR PUBLIC 

[Captioner] 22:32:28
SERVANT AND ALSO A CHAMPION FOR 

[Captioner] 22:32:32
ALL PEOPLE.

[Captioner] 22:32:34
 PLEASE NOTE THAT MAYOR MEI ONLY 

[Captioner] 22:32:36
HAS FIVE MEETINGS LEFT.

[Captioner] 22:32:38
BEFORE SHE IS TERMED OUT IN 

[Captioner] 22:32:40
DECEMBER OF 2024.

[Captioner] 22:32:44
THIS REFERRAL, AND LOOKING AT 

[Captioner] 22:32:46
THE TIMING, IS NOTHING MORE THAN 

[Captioner] 22:32:49
A POLITICAL SMEARING CAMPAIGN 

[Captioner] 22:32:51
TOWARDS MYSELF, AS I'M RUNNING 

[Captioner] 22:32:53
FOR REELECTION.

[Captioner] 22:32:55
YOUR REFERRAL LACKS DETAILS AND 

[Captioner] 22:32:57
WHY THE DETAILS WERE NOT 

[Captioner] 22:32:59
SUBMITTED, THAT'S ANOTHER 

[Captioner] 22:33:00
QUESTION THAT THE PUBLIC HAS A 

[Captioner] 22:33:03
RIGHT TO KNOW, AND THE 

[Captioner] 22:33:05
TRANSPARENCY AND THE DETAILS 

[Captioner] 22:33:06
BEHIND IT.

[Captioner] 22:33:07
BECAUSE AFTER ALL WHEN YOU 

[Captioner] 22:33:09
SUBMITTED IT, IT REFERENCED THE 

[Captioner] 22:33:11
WRONG PAIM AND THE WRONG SECTION 

[Captioner] 22:33:12
IN OUR COUNCIL HANDBOOK.

[Captioner] 22:33:17
THIS REFERRAL IS VERY HURTFUL TO 

[Captioner] 22:33:21
ME, MY FAMILY, AND THE ENTIRE 

[Captioner] 22:33:22
CITY OF FREMONT.

[Captioner] 22:33:24
WE'RE A LAUGHING STOKE.

[Captioner] 22:33:26
AND OUR RESIDENTS DESERVE MORE 

[Captioner] 22:33:28
THAN THIS.

[Captioner] 22:33:32
IT'S A WASTE OF TAXPAYER

[Captioner] 22:33:35
S' MONEY AND CITY STAFF AND 

[Captioner] 22:33:35
FOCUS.

[Captioner] 22:33:37
THIS REFERRAL GOES AGAINST OUR 

[Captioner] 22:33:39
CITY COUNCIL PRIORITIES.

[Captioner] 22:33:42
THAT WE SHOULD BE FOCUSING MORE 

[Captioner] 22:33:44
ON PUBLIC SAFETY, HOMELESSNESS 

[Captioner] 22:33:46
AND SUSTAINABILITY, AND OTHER 

[Captioner] 22:33:49
AREAS THAT WE LOOK TO HELP SOLVE 

[Captioner] 22:33:51
AND BE OF SERVICE OF OUR 

[Captioner] 22:33:54
COMMUNITY.

[Captioner] 22:33:57
INJUSTICE ANYWHERE IS A THREAT 

[Captioner] 22:33:58
TO JUSTICE EVERYWHERE.

[Captioner] 22:34:00
AND REALLY THIS IS WHAT YOU WANT 

[Captioner] 22:34:01
TO LEAVE YOUR LEGACY ON AFTER 

[Captioner] 22:34:04
ALL THESE YEARS OF SERVING AND 

[Captioner] 22:34:06
CITY COUNCIL, THAT YOU'RE 

[Captioner] 22:34:08
LEAVING IT IN TURMOIL?

[Captioner] 22:34:10
THESE ACTIONS ARE NOT ANYTHING 

[Captioner] 22:34:12
TO DO WITH WHAT I HAVE DONE.

[Captioner] 22:34:15
IT'S WHAT YOU HAVE DONE AS AN 

[Captioner] 22:34:17
INDIVIDUAL, WHEN YOU HAVE RUN 

[Captioner] 22:34:19
FOR OFFICE AND RAN FOR SENATE, 

[Captioner] 22:34:23
AND LOST THE RACE, TO AIES

[Captioner] 22:34:26
HA  WAHAB.

[Captioner] 22:34:29
IN 2021 I HAD SUBMITTED THE 

[Captioner] 22:34:31
HISTORICALLY BLACK COLLEGE THAT 

[Captioner] 22:34:32
WAS SUBMITTED HERE AT CITY 

[Captioner] 22:34:35
COUNCIL AND IT WAS DENIED.

[Captioner] 22:34:37
THIS IS SOMETHING THAT HAS BEEN 

[Captioner] 22:34:40
ESTABLISHED AS A PATTERN THAT A 

[Captioner] 22:34:42
TRUE LEADER WOULD HAVE CALLED A 

[Captioner] 22:34:44
MEETING TO DISCUSS ANY FURTHER 

[Captioner] 22:34:46
ISSUES, WOULD HAVE TYPED UP 

[Captioner] 22:34:47
MEETING MINUTES, THAT'S WHAT 

[Captioner] 22:34:49
PEOPLE DO WHEN YOU ARE IN A 

[Captioner] 22:34:51
LEADERSHIP ROLE.

[Captioner] 22:34:53
YOU SIT DOWN YOU DOCUMENT THE 

[Captioner] 22:34:55
MINI MINUTES THEN YOU FOLLOW UP.

[Captioner] 22:34:58
IF THERE IS CONTINUALLY MORE 

[Captioner] 22:35:00
ISSUES YOU WOULD SIT DOWN AND 

[Captioner] 22:35:02
HAVE SOME MORE ONE ON ONE AND 

[Captioner] 22:35:04
INCLUDE THE CITY ATTORNEY OR 

[Captioner] 22:35:06
CITY MANAGER AT THIS PART.

[Captioner] 22:35:08
BUT I HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY 

[Captioner] 22:35:10
CORRESPONDENCE DIRECTLY OF ANY 

[Captioner] 22:35:11
CONTINUING BEHAVIOR.

[Captioner] 22:35:12
AND LET ME MAKE IT CLEAR.

[Captioner] 22:35:14
I HAVE NOT DONE ANYTHING WRONG, 

[Captioner] 22:35:16
NO VIOLATIONS COMMITTED, REPEAT 

[Captioner] 22:35:18
AGAIN:  NO VIOLATIONS 

[Captioner] 22:35:18
COMMITTED.

[Captioner] 22:35:21
NOW I DO HAVE A FEW QUESTIONS TO 

[Captioner] 22:35:22
ASK.

[Captioner] 22:35:25
AND I'M GOING TO TURN TO ASKING 

[Captioner] 22:35:27
OUR CITY ATTORNEY, TO STATE AND 

[Captioner] 22:35:30
LOOK AT THE COUNCIL HANDBOOK TO 

[Captioner] 22:35:32
STATE WHO CAN SUBMIT 

[Captioner] 22:35:33
PROCLAMATIONS?

[Captioner] 22:35:36
AND IS IT CLEARLY DEFINED WHO IS 

[Captioner] 22:35:39
DEFINED AS A COMMUNITY LEADER?

[Captioner] 22:35:43
>> Cty. Attny. Alvarado:   THANK 

[Captioner] 22:35:44
YOU FOR YOUR QUESTION.

[Captioner] 22:35:47
THE HANDBOOK SPEAKS FOR ITSELF.

[Captioner] 22:35:49
I CAN CERTAINLY READ INTO THE 

[Captioner] 22:35:50
RECORD SECTIONS OF THE HANDBOOK 

[Captioner] 22:35:53
YOU FEEL RELEVANT TO YOUR 

[Captioner] 22:35:54
INQUIRY.

[Captioner] 22:35:58
SO LOOKING

[Captioner] 22:36:00
 AT APPENDIX C THERE IS A 

[Captioner] 22:36:02
SECTION IN THE SECTION TITLED 

[Captioner] 22:36:04
REQUEST FOR CEREMONIAL 

[Captioner] 22:36:05
RECOGNITION THAT DISCUSSES HOW 

[Captioner] 22:36:07
THE CITY RECEIVES PROCLAMATION 

[Captioner] 22:36:09
AND IT READS THE CITY RECEIVES 

[Captioner] 22:36:10
MANY REQUESTS FOR CEREMONIAL 

[Captioner] 22:36:12
ITEMS FROM VARIOUS ENTITIES AND 

[Captioner] 22:36:13
RESIDENTS.

[Captioner] 22:36:15
ALL REQUESTS SHOULD BE MADE BY 

[Captioner] 22:36:17
COMMUNITY MEMBERS IN THE CITY OF 

[Captioner] 22:36:18
FREMONT.

[Captioner] 22:36:21

[Captioner] 22:36:25
MISSION IS TO PROVIDE SOME 

[Captioner] 22:36:27

MOAF REQUESTS AND MAKE 

[Captioner] 22:36:34
EXCEPTIONS TO ANY OF THE

FOLLOWING GUIDELINES.

[Captioner] 22:36:36
I BELIEVE THAT'S THE SECTION YOU 

[Captioner] 22:36:38
MAZE HAVE BEEN REFERRING TO.

[Captioner] 22:36:39
>> Councilmember Cox:   RIGHT, 

[Captioner] 22:36:41
AND COMMUNITY MEMBERS COULD BE 

[Captioner] 22:36:42
ANYONE AS LONG AS THEY ARE 

[Captioner] 22:36:46
RESIDENT, CORRECT?

[Captioner] 22:36:47
>> Cty. Attny. Alvarado:   THE 

[Captioner] 22:36:50
TERMINATE THE NOT DEFINED BUT I 

[Captioner] 22:36:52
BELIEVE IT IS UNDERSTOOD TO BE 

[Captioner] 22:36:54
ANY MEMBER OF THE COMMUNITY.

[Captioner] 22:36:55
>> Councilmember Cox:   

[Captioner] 22:36:56
INCLUDING COUNCILMEMBERS.

[Captioner] 22:36:58
AND DOES THE HANDBOOK SPECIFY 

[Captioner] 22:37:00
WHO CAN GET RECOGNIZED?

[Captioner] 22:37:04
>> 

[Captioner] 22:37:06
>> Cty. Attny. Alvarado:  , THE 

[Captioner] 22:37:09
COUNCIL HANDBOOK HAS IN THAT 

[Captioner] 22:37:12
SECTION THREE TYPES OF 

[Captioner] 22:37:12
CRITERIA.

[Captioner] 22:37:13
SECTION A TALKS ABOUT 

[Captioner] 22:37:15
PROCLAMATION FOR EXEMPLARY 

[Captioner] 22:37:17
SERVICE, SECTION B DISCUSS IS 

[Captioner] 22:37:19

[Captioner] 22:37:21
ACTIVITIES AND SECTION,  

[Captioner] 22:37:23
SUBSECTION C DISCUSSES 

[Captioner] 22:37:24
CERTIFICATES OF RECOGNITION OR 

[Captioner] 22:37:26
APPRECIATION AND LASTLY,  

[Captioner] 22:37:28
SUBSECTION D TALKS GENERALLY 

[Captioner] 22:37:30
ABOUT SPECIAL PRESENTATION OAT 

[Captioner] 22:37:33
AT CITY COUNCIL MEETINGS.

[Captioner] 22:37:34
>> Councilmember Cox:   THRTS A 

[Captioner] 22:37:36
WIDE VARIETY THAT PEOPLE CAN BE 

[Captioner] 22:37:38
RECOGNIZED BASED ON THOSE 

[Captioner] 22:37:41
DIFFERENT CATEGORIES CORRECTLY?

[Captioner] 22:37:45
RRLDZ THE HANDBOOK DOES DISCUSS 

[Captioner] 22:37:46
VARIOUS AWARDS THAT CAN BE  

[Captioner] 22:37:47
GIVEN.

[Captioner] 22:37:48
>> Councilmember Cox:   AND WHEN 

[Captioner] 22:37:50
IT COMES TO PLADGESES WHERE DOES 

[Captioner] 22:37:54
IT SAY THE SPECIFIC NUMBER?

[Captioner] 22:37:56
.

[Captioner] 22:37:58
>> Cty. Attny. Alvarado:   THE 

[Captioner] 22:37:59
SIX DOES NOTE IDENTIFY A CAP OR 

[Captioner] 22:38:01
A NUMBER.

[Captioner] 22:38:01
>> Councilmember Cox:   IT DOES 

[Captioner] 22:38:05
NOT, IT'S SIGH LOANT SO THAT'S 

[Captioner] 22:38:08
NOT ADDRESS ADDRESSED.

[Captioner] 22:38:10
CITY ATTORNEY HAVE YOU EVER HAD 

[Captioner] 22:38:13
A TALK WITH ME ABOUT COMMITTING 

[Captioner] 22:38:15
SOME VIOLATIONS?

[Captioner] 22:38:16
>> Cty. Attny. Alvarado:   LET 

[Captioner] 22:38:19
ME PROVIDE SOME CONTEXT TO THAT 

[Captioner] 22:38:21
QUESTION, BECAUSE IT COULD LEAD 

[Captioner] 22:38:22
TO INTERPRETATION ABOUT HOW THE 

[Captioner] 22:38:26
HANDBOOK WORKS, HOW IT WORKS.

[Captioner] 22:38:28
THE CITY COUNCIL HANDBOOK 

[Captioner] 22:38:31
ORIGINALLY WRITTEN IN 1997, HAS 

[Captioner] 22:38:35
BEEN UPDATED AND ORIGINALLY 

[Captioner] 22:38:38
CONTINUES TO BE THE DOCUMENT 

[Captioner] 22:38:41
THAT GOARCHES COUNCIL BEHAVE.

[Captioner] 22:38:44
THE CALIFORNIA GOVERNMENT CODE 

[Captioner] 22:38:48
SPECIFICALLY 306813, AUTHORIZES 

[Captioner] 22:38:52
THE COUNCIL TO SET ITS OWN RULES

[Captioner] 22:38:55
 AND IT'S A SELF ENFORCING 

[Captioner] 22:38:57
DOCUMENT, MEANS THE COUNCIL 

[Captioner] 22:38:59
ENFORCES ITS OWN RULE.

[Captioner] 22:39:00
IT IS THE COUNCIL THAT DERNLS 

[Captioner] 22:39:02
THE FACTS AND DETERMINES WHETHER 

[Captioner] 22:39:04
THERE IS AN ALLEGED INVITATION.

[Captioner] 22:39:06
SO THE CITY ATTORNEY DOESN'T 

[Captioner] 22:39:07
HAVE A FUNCTION IN COMMUNICATING 

[Captioner] 22:39:09
TO THE COUNCIL WHETHER THERE 

[Captioner] 22:39:11
EXISTED A VIOLATION OR NOTE.

[Captioner] 22:39:12
THE COUNCIL -- ORE NOT.

[Captioner] 22:39:14
THE COUNCIL DETERMINES WHETHER 

[Captioner] 22:39:16
THERE IS ONE OOMPS AND CENSURE 

[Captioner] 22:39:18
IS ONE OF THE PROCESSES THAT IS 

[Captioner] 22:39:22
USED TO DETERMINE WHETHER A 

[Captioner] 22:39:24
VIOLATION OF THE HANDBOOK DID IN 

[Captioner] 22:39:25
FACT OCCUR.

[Captioner] 22:39:29
THERE ARE LESSER FORMS OF

[Captioner] 22:39:33
 PROIRL OPTIONS THAN CENSURE BUT 

[Captioner] 22:39:35
CENSURE IS ESSENTIALLY THE MOST 

[Captioner] 22:39:39
-- IT'S SEEN AS THE MOST IMPACT

[Captioner] 22:39:41
FUL OF THE OPTIONS BECAUSE IT IS 

[Captioner] 22:39:42
CONSIDERED PUNITIVE IN NATURE 

[Captioner] 22:39:44
MEANING A COUNCILMEMBER COULD 

[Captioner] 22:39:46
LOSE A COMMITTEE ASSIGNMENT AS 

[Captioner] 22:39:48
AN EXAMPLE IF THEY WERE CENSURED 

[Captioner] 22:39:48
BY THE BODY.

[Captioner] 22:39:52
SO WHAT IS A CENSURE, A CENSURE 

[Captioner] 22:39:53
IS ESSENTIALLY A WRITTEN 

[Captioner] 22:39:55
STATEMENT BY THE BODY EXPRESSING 

[Captioner] 22:39:56
DISAPPROVAL OF A COUNCILMEMBER'S 

[Captioner] 22:39:57
CONDUCT.

[Captioner] 22:39:58
>> Councilmember Cox:   THANK 

[Captioner] 22:40:00
YOU.

[Captioner] 22:40:01
CITY MANAGER, HAVE YOU EVER 

[Captioner] 22:40:02
WRITTEN TO ME OR HAD ANY TALKS 

[Captioner] 22:40:05
WITH ME ABOUT ANY SPECIFIC 

[Captioner] 22:40:08
VIOLATIONS?

[Captioner] 22:40:11
>> Karena Shackelford:   I WOULD 

[Captioner] 22:40:15
HAVE TO ECHO WHAT CITY

[Captioner] 22:40:17
 ATTORNEY ALVARADO SAID.

[Captioner] 22:40:18
AND THAT WOULD BE NO, I HAVEN'T 

[Captioner] 22:40:20
HAD ANY CONVERSATIONS WITH YOU 

[Captioner] 22:40:22
ABOUT ANY SPECIFIC VIOLATIONS.

[Captioner] 22:40:26
>> Councilmember Cox:   THANK 

[Captioner] 22:40:28
YOU.

[Captioner] 22:40:29
>> Karena Shackelford:   AND 

[Captioner] 22:40:31
JUST TO ADD ON TO THAT, AS I 

[Captioner] 22:40:33
SAID, NEITHER OF US HAVE THE 

[Captioner] 22:40:35
AUTHORITY TO DO THAT ANYWAY.

[Captioner] 22:40:37
YOU ALL ARE A SEVERAL GOVERNING 

[Captioner] 22:40:38
BODY.

[Captioner] 22:40:41
>> Councilmember Cox:   OKAY.

[Captioner] 22:40:45
AND DID LILY MEI EVER FOLLOW UP 

[Captioner] 22:40:46
FROM OUR RETREAT OR ANYTHING TO 

[Captioner] 22:40:48
SAY I WANT TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT 

[Captioner] 22:40:50
ANY VIOLATIONS AND BRING YOU IN 

[Captioner] 22:40:51
FOR A MEETING?

[Captioner] 22:40:53
BECAUSE I DON'T HAVE ANY WRITTEN 

[Captioner] 22:40:56
INFORMATION, NO, NOTHING IN 

[Captioner] 22:40:58
CORRESPONDENCE OR ANYTHING, IT 

[Captioner] 22:41:00
CAN'T BE ALL TOTAL HEARSAY, IT 

[Captioner] 22:41:01
HAS TO BE IF YOU FELT THAT 

[Captioner] 22:41:03
STRONGLY AND NOW WAITING 

[Captioner] 22:41:04
ADVERTISE, SIX MONTHS LATER, YOU 

[Captioner] 22:41:06
KNOW, THERE HAS BEEN NO OTHER 

[Captioner] 22:41:10
COMMUNICATION.

[Captioner] 22:41:11
>> Cty. Attny. Alvarado:   THE 

[Captioner] 22:41:12
PROCESS THAT YOU HAVE THIS 

[Captioner] 22:41:13
EVENING IS THE PROCESS THAT 

[Captioner] 22:41:16
WOULD LEAD TO DETERMINING WHAT 

[Captioner] 22:41:17
COMMUNICATIONS EXIST THAT WOULD 

[Captioner] 22:41:20
EITHER SUPPORT OR NOT SUPPORT AN 

[Captioner] 22:41:21
ALLEGED VIOLATION OF THE 

[Captioner] 22:41:22
HANDBOOK.

[Captioner] 22:41:24
TONIGHT, THE COUNCIL IS NOT 

[Captioner] 22:41:26
BEING ASKED TO CENSURE A 

[Captioner] 22:41:28
COUNCILMEMBER AS I UNDERSTAND 

[Captioner] 22:41:29
THE REFERRAL.

[Captioner] 22:41:31
IT'S SIMPLY ASKING, IT'S 

[Captioner] 22:41:34
REQUESTING THAT THE CITY COUNCIL 

[Captioner] 22:41:35
ITSELF INITIATE THOSE 

[Captioner] 22:41:36
PROCEEDINGS BY COMING BACK WITH 

[Captioner] 22:41:38
INFORMATION ABOUT HOW CENSURE 

[Captioner] 22:41:39
WORKS ESSENTIALLY.

[Captioner] 22:41:41
SO IF THE COUNCIL WERE DESIROUS 

[Captioner] 22:41:43
OF MOVING FORWARD THIS REQUEST, 

[Captioner] 22:41:45
IT WOULD GENERATE A STAFF REPORT 

[Captioner] 22:41:46
THAT ESSENTIALLY SETS OUT WHAT 

[Captioner] 22:41:48
THE PROCEDURES ARE TO ENFORCE 

[Captioner] 22:41:50
THE RULES UNDER YOUR OWN 

[Captioner] 22:41:52
HANDBOOK.

[Captioner] 22:41:53
>> Councilmember Cox:   OKAY.

[Captioner] 22:41:55
I WOULD LIKE TO TURN TO THE CITY 

[Captioner] 22:41:57
CLERK AND ASK HER A COUPLE OF 

[Captioner] 22:41:58
QUESTIONS.

[Captioner] 22:42:01
WHO HAS ACCESS TO THE 

[Captioner] 22:42:03
PROCLAMATION PORTAL?

[Captioner] 22:42:05
>> The Clerk:   MYSELF AND MY 

[Captioner] 22:42:07
ASSISTANT CITY CLERK, DINA AND 

[Captioner] 22:42:12
PRIOR TO THAT ALBERTO

[Captioner] 22:42:16
  QULINTILLA, WHO IS MY 

[Captioner] 22:42:17
ASSISTANT CITY CLERK.

[Captioner] 22:42:18
>> Councilmember Cox:   DO YOU 

[Captioner] 22:42:20
RECALL THE AAPI PROCLAMATION?

[Captioner] 22:42:21
>> The Clerk:   A LOT OF 

[Captioner] 22:42:23
PROCLAMATIONS COME ACROSS OUR 

[Captioner] 22:42:24
DESK.

[Captioner] 22:42:25
I DON'T RECALL IT SPECIFICALLY.

[Captioner] 22:42:26
>> Councilmember Cox:   OKAY, DO 

[Captioner] 22:42:28
YOU RECALL ON AVERAGE HOW LONG 

[Captioner] 22:42:29
FROM THE TIME THAT THE 

[Captioner] 22:42:31
PROCLAMATION IS SUBMITTED TO THE 

[Captioner] 22:42:33
TIME THAT IT GETS BEFORE CITY 

[Captioner] 22:42:36
COUNCIL?

[Captioner] 22:42:38
>> The Clerk:   IT DEPENDS.

[Captioner] 22:42:41
SOMETIMES PROCLAMATIONS -- LOT 

[Captioner] 22:42:44
ME JUST SAY CEREMONIAL 

[Captioner] 22:42:45
RECOGNITIONS BECAUSE THERE ARE 

[Captioner] 22:42:47
PROCLAMATIONS, RESOLUTIONS AND 

[Captioner] 22:42:47
CEREMONIAL CERTIFICATES OF 

[Captioner] 22:42:49
APPRECIATION.

[Captioner] 22:42:52
CEREMONIAL RECOGNITIONS MAY COME 

[Captioner] 22:42:56
IN MONTHS OR WEEKS IN ADVANCE.

[Captioner] 22:42:59
AND WHEN IT'S RECEIVED VIA THE 

[Captioner] 22:43:02
PORTAL EITHER MYSELF OR DINA 

[Captioner] 22:43:04
WILL SEND AN E-MAIL TO MAYOR FOR 

[Captioner] 22:43:07
APPROVAL.

[Captioner] 22:43:10
THAT RESPONSE TIME DIFFERS.

[Captioner] 22:43:12
>> Councilmember Cox:   OKAY.

[Captioner] 22:43:15
>> The Clerk:   THERE IS NO  SET 

[Captioner] 22:43:17
-- THERE -- IT HASN'T BEEN 

[Captioner] 22:43:20
CONSISTENT RESPONSE TIME.

[Captioner] 22:43:20
>> Councilmember Cox:   RIGHT, 

[Captioner] 22:43:21
BECAUSE THIS ONE IN PARTICULAR 

[Captioner] 22:43:24
TOOK ABOUT 15 WEEKS TO GET 

[Captioner] 22:43:26
COMPLETED FROM FEBRUARY TO MAY 

[Captioner] 22:43:29
THE 6th.

[Captioner] 22:43:32
AND THAT'S UNACCEPTABLE AS 

[Captioner] 22:43:35
SOMEONE THAT IS A GROUP THAT IS 

[Captioner] 22:43:36
EXPECTED TO BE RECOGNIZED.

[Captioner] 22:43:38
AND ALSO, THOSE THAT HAVE 

[Captioner] 22:43:40
TROUBLE LEARNING HOW TO DO OUR 

[Captioner] 22:43:42
PORTAL, THEY HAVE WRITTEN TO THE 

[Captioner] 22:43:44
MAYOR ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS WITH 

[Captioner] 22:43:46
NO RESPONSE.

[Captioner] 22:43:48
AND ENDED UP THAT THEY CONTACT 

[Captioner] 22:43:50
ME TO HELP THEM.

[Captioner] 22:43:52
AND I THINK THAT'S WHAT PART OF 

[Captioner] 22:43:55
HELPING ALONG WITH OUR OTHER 

[Captioner] 22:43:57
COUNCIL PRIORITIES, ARE ABOUT.

[Captioner] 22:44:00
AND IT'S NOTE ABOUT EVERY TIME 

[Captioner] 22:44:02
THAT THE PROCLAMATION THAT 

[Captioner] 22:44:04
THERE'S SOMETHING DOWNFALL, 

[Captioner] 22:44:05
PEOPLE NEED TO NOE WHAT'S 

[Captioner] 22:44:07
HAPPENING AND IF YOU TAKE 18 

[Captioner] 22:44:09
WEEKS TO RESPOND TO AN E-MAIL, 

[Captioner] 22:44:12
THAT'S JUST NOT ACCEPTABLE.

[Captioner] 22:44:14
THAT'S TERRIBLE RESPONSE.

[Captioner] 22:44:17
AND, YOU KNOW, THE PART OF THE 

[Captioner] 22:44:20
PROCESS IS THAT, YOU KNOW, YOU 

[Captioner] 22:44:22
WAIT TILL NOW TO BRING UP ALL 

[Captioner] 22:44:24
THESE DIFFERENT ISSUES WHERE 

[Captioner] 22:44:26
WE'RE A LAUGHINGSTOCK HERE IN 

[Captioner] 22:44:28
FREMONT WHEN OTHER CITIES LOOK 

[Captioner] 22:44:30
AT US RIGHT 90.

[Captioner] 22:44:32
OUR PUBLIC IT SHOWS THAT WE'RE 

[Captioner] 22:44:33
NOT GETTING ALONG.

[Captioner] 22:44:35
YOU CAN'T EVEN HAVE A DECENT 

[Captioner] 22:44:37
CONVERSATION, POARLS, YOU KNOW, 

[Captioner] 22:44:38
THIS IS NOT SOMETHING THAT I 

[Captioner] 22:44:40
WANT MY CHILDREN TO BE READING 

[Captioner] 22:44:40
ABOUT.

[Captioner] 22:44:41
AND SEEING.

[Captioner] 22:44:42
BECAUSE WE GOT TO BE ADULTS 

[Captioner] 22:44:43
ABOUT THIS.

[Captioner] 22:44:45
IF YOU HAVE THAT MUCH OF A 

[Captioner] 22:44:48
PROBLEM WHY WOULD YOU NOT -- YOU 

[Captioner] 22:44:48
DON'T EVEN TALK TO ME.

[Captioner] 22:44:50
YOU DON'T EVEN CALL ME.

[Captioner] 22:44:51
YOU DON'T EVEN ACKNOWLEDGE MY 

[Captioner] 22:44:52
PRESENCE.

[Captioner] 22:44:55
EVEN WITH MY CHILDREN AND I 

[Captioner] 22:44:56
YOU'VE IGNORED US IN PUBLIC 

[Captioner] 22:44:58
EVENTS AND EVEN I COULD BE 

[Captioner] 22:45:00
UNDERNEATH YOUR NOSE AND YOU 

[Captioner] 22:45:01
STILL TURN IT UP THAT I DON'T 

[Captioner] 22:45:03
EXIST IN THE AUDIENCE TO EVEN 

[Captioner] 22:45:04
RECOGNIZE ME.

[Captioner] 22:45:06
THAT IS DISRESPECTFUL AND THESE 

[Captioner] 22:45:08
TYPE OF THINGS OF ATTACKING MY 

[Captioner] 22:45:12
EDUCATION, MY BACKGROUND, THESE 

[Captioner] 22:45:15
ARE HORRIBLE TACTICS THAT I'M 

[Captioner] 22:45:17
SORRY, THEY ARE NOT SOMEBODY 

[Captioner] 22:45:19
THAT YOU WANT TO CHECK AND KEEP 

[Captioner] 22:45:20
CHECKING AND SAY OH, SHE DIDN'T 

[Captioner] 22:45:22
CHANGE THIS ON HER LINKED IN 

[Captioner] 22:45:23
PROFILE.

[Captioner] 22:45:25
THAT'S SO PETTY, THAT'S  

[Captioner] 22:45:26
SOLO-DOWN.

[Captioner] 22:45:30
I AM DOING SO MANY 24-SEVEN  

[Captioner] 22:45:32
RUNNING COUNTY WIDE LARGEST 

[Captioner] 22:45:33
PROCUREMENT AND LEADING AND 

[Captioner] 22:45:35
DOING THIS AND DOING OTHER 

[Captioner] 22:45:36
THINGS THAT PEOPLE CALL ME FOR 

[Captioner] 22:45:40
HELP LIKE THE FAMILY THAT HAD A 

[Captioner] 22:45:42
STUDENT THAT PASSED AWAY RIGHT 

[Captioner] 22:45:44
THERE IN OSGOOD IN MY AREA 

[Captioner] 22:45:46
DISTRICT 6 DID YOU WANT TO SPEND 

[Captioner] 22:45:48
TIME WITH THE FAMILY TO GIVE 

[Captioner] 22:45:49
CONDOLENCES THAT YOU WANT TO 

[Captioner] 22:45:51
SPEND TIME HELPING OUR COMMUNITY 

[Captioner] 22:45:53
TO GET RID OF SOME OF THE PUBLIC 

[Captioner] 22:45:54
SAFETY ISSUES THAT ARE  

[Captioner] 22:45:55
OCCURRING.

[Captioner] 22:45:56
THIS IS WHERE WE SHOULD BE 

[Captioner] 22:45:59
SPENDING OUR TIME NOT GOING 

[Captioner] 22:46:03
THREE ALL THIS BLOW BY BLOW 

[Captioner] 22:46:04
PROCLAMATION BY PROCLAMATION, 

[Captioner] 22:46:07
BRINGING UP SUCH GENERIC THINGS 

[Captioner] 22:46:10
THAT IT IS UNACCEPTABLE AND 

[Captioner] 22:46:12
TOTALLY AN ATTACK ON MY IMAGE ON 

[Captioner] 22:46:13
MY REPUTATION.

[Captioner] 22:46:15
I HAVE WORKED TOO HARD TO COME 

[Captioner] 22:46:18
THIS FAR TO HAVE SOMEONE LIKE 

[Captioner] 22:46:20
YOU COME UP AND BRING THIS IN A 

[Captioner] 22:46:21
PUBLIC SETTING.

[Captioner] 22:46:25
THIS IS NOT WHAT AN EXECUTIVE, 

[Captioner] 22:46:27
WHAT A MANAGER OR A CITY LEADER 

[Captioner] 22:46:28
DOES.

[Captioner] 22:46:30
YOU BRING THINGS AND WORK 

[Captioner] 22:46:30
TOGETHER.

[Captioner] 22:46:31
AND IF YOU DIDN'T FEEL 

[Captioner] 22:46:33
COMFORTABLE TALKING WITH ME, 

[Captioner] 22:46:35
KNOWN YOU HAVE THE CITY MANAGER 

[Captioner] 22:46:36
AND THE CITY ATTORNEY BE A PART 

[Captioner] 22:46:38
OF THE THE MEETING.

[Captioner] 22:46:39
AND WHOEVER ELSE.

[Captioner] 22:46:42
THIS IS NOT CALLED FOR TO SIT 

[Captioner] 22:46:44
HERE AND GO THROUGH THIS TYPE OF 

[Captioner] 22:46:45
DISCUSSION.

[Captioner] 22:46:46
IT IS JUST UNWARRANTED.

[Captioner] 22:46:49
AND IT'S A PERSONAL ATTACK AND I 

[Captioner] 22:46:50
QUESTIONS WHAT THE TIMING MUCH 

[Captioner] 22:46:52
IT, BECAUSE IT'S ONLY A COUPLE 

[Captioner] 22:46:55
OF WEEKS FROM THE ELECTION.

[Captioner] 22:46:58
AND BEING THE FIRST AFRICAN 

[Captioner] 22:46:59
AMERICAN AND BEING A TRAIL  

[Captioner] 22:47:01
BLAZER THERE'S NOTHING WRONG 

[Captioner] 22:47:01
WITH THAT.

[Captioner] 22:47:03
IT GIVES PEOPLE HOPE.

[Captioner] 22:47:05
IT GIVES PEOPLE THAT YOU WORK 

[Captioner] 22:47:07
HARD, YOU CAN DO IT, YOU CAN 

[Captioner] 22:47:09
SUCCEED, THAT'S WHAT OHLONE 

[Captioner] 22:47:11
COLLEGE AND HAVING THE STUDENTS 

[Captioner] 22:47:13
ALWAYS TO LEARN FROM AND TO 

[Captioner] 22:47:15
MENTOR THEM AND THE STUDENTS 

[Captioner] 22:47:17
THAT ARE IN OUR LOCAL SCHOOLS, 

[Captioner] 22:47:18
THAT'S WHAT I TALKED TO THEM 

[Captioner] 22:47:18
ABOUT.

[Captioner] 22:47:21
THAT YOU CAN LIVE THE DREAM.

[Captioner] 22:47:23
AND WORK WITH EVERYONE.

[Captioner] 22:47:24
AND ACCEPT EVERYONE.

[Captioner] 22:47:26
AND MY CHILDREN HAVE BEEN RIGHT 

[Captioner] 22:47:27
THERE WITH ME.

[Captioner] 22:47:28
AND THEY'RE TAKING THIS VERY 

[Captioner] 22:47:30
HARD.

[Captioner] 22:47:32
BECAUSE IT HURTS THAT THEY COME 

[Captioner] 22:47:35
OUT AND SUPPORT THE COMMUNITY, 

[Captioner] 22:47:37
AND THIS IS THE TYPE OF NONSENSE 

[Captioner] 22:47:39
THAT YOU WANT TO BRING IN FRONT 

[Captioner] 22:47:41
OF YOUNG PEOPLE, AND THIS IS THE 

[Captioner] 22:47:47
AREA THAT IT'S REAL 

[Captioner] 22:47:47
DISGRACEFUL.

[Captioner] 22:47:49
THIS IS THOUGHT A ROLE POLED 

[Captioner] 22:47:50
TYPE SCENARIO.

[Captioner] 22:47:51
THIS IS JUST A POLITICAL ATTACK, 

[Captioner] 22:47:53
A PERSONAL ATTACK, AND THIS IS 

[Captioner] 22:47:54
WHAT YOU WANT TO LIVE YOUR 

[Captioner] 22:47:56
LEGACY ON?

[Captioner] 22:47:58
COMING ONLY FIVE MORE MEETINGS 

[Captioner] 22:48:01
LOWEST OF CITY COUNCIL?

[Captioner] 22:48:02
AND THIS IS A LACK OF 

[Captioner] 22:48:04
PERFORMANCE, A LACK OF 

[Captioner] 22:48:06
LEADERSHIP ON YOU, MAYOR MEI.

[Captioner] 22:48:08
BECAUSE IF YOU ARE THE MAYOR, 

[Captioner] 22:48:10
YOU ARE ALSO THE PERSON THAT 

[Captioner] 22:48:11
NEEDS TO BRING PEOPLE TOGETHER.

[Captioner] 22:48:14
AND YOU PUT ASIDE YOUR PERSONAL 

[Captioner] 22:48:18
AGENDA, YOUR PERSONAL EMOTIONS 

[Captioner] 22:48:20
INSTEAD OF CARING IT OUT HERE.

[Captioner] 22:48:23
THAT'S WHAT PEOPLE DO IN 

[Captioner] 22:48:25
CORPORATE AMERICA,LY WORKED AT 

[Captioner] 22:48:27
THE WHITE HOUSE OR WHETHER 

[Captioner] 22:48:28
WORKING IN ALL THE DIFFERENT 

[Captioner] 22:48:30
ADMINISTRATIONS I HAVE FOR FOUR 

[Captioner] 22:48:32
PRESIDENTS, WE SIT DOWN TOGETHER 

[Captioner] 22:48:33
AND WE WORK THINGS OUT.

[Captioner] 22:48:35
BUT YOU DON'T BRING THIS OUT OUR 

[Captioner] 22:48:37
DIRTY LAUNDRY LIKE THIS.

[Captioner] 22:48:38
AND THIS IS SOMETHING THAT YOU 

[Captioner] 22:48:40
GOT TO THINK BIGGER AND BETTER 

[Captioner] 22:48:42
ABOVE INSTEAD OF GOING DEEP AND 

[Captioner] 22:48:43
LOW.

[Captioner] 22:48:46
BECAUSE MICHELLE OBAMA SAID WHEN 

[Captioner] 22:48:48
YOU GO LOW WE GOT TO GO HIGH AND 

[Captioner] 22:48:50
THIS IS HOW I FEEL AT THIS POINT 

[Captioner] 22:48:51
AND THIS SHOULD NOT BE SOMETHING 

[Captioner] 22:48:53
THAT WE ARE DEALING WITH RIGHT 

[Captioner] 22:48:55
NOW.

[Captioner] 22:48:57
AND I REALLY WANT TO EXPRESS THE 

[Captioner] 22:48:58
GRATITUDE TO SO MANY PEOPLE THAT 

[Captioner] 22:49:00
HAVE REACHED OUT TO ME FROM A 

[Captioner] 22:49:02
LOT OF THE ELECTED OFFICIALS AT 

[Captioner] 22:49:03
THE STATE AND HIGHEST GOVERNMENT 

[Captioner] 22:49:05
LEVELS ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE 

[Captioner] 22:49:07
LOCAL LEVELS THAT THEY HAVE SENT 

[Captioner] 22:49:08
LETTERS OF SUPPORT, SHOWING 

[Captioner] 22:49:10
THEIR SOLIDARITY FOR ME.

[Captioner] 22:49:12
AND I WANT TO ESPECIALLY THANK 

[Captioner] 22:49:14
THE ALAMEDA COUNTY BUILDING 

[Captioner] 22:49:16
TRADES COUNCIL, THE ALAMEDA 

[Captioner] 22:49:17
LABOR COUNCIL, OTHER 

[Captioner] 22:49:22
ORGANIZATIONS, OF LABOR,

[Captioner] 22:49:24
 THE ALAMEDA COUNTY DEMOCRATIC 

[Captioner] 22:49:27
PARTY, BUT ALSO BLACK WOMEN 

[Captioner] 22:49:29
ORGANIZED FOR POLITICAL ACTION, 

[Captioner] 22:49:31
THE DIVINE 9 GREEK BLACK 

[Captioner] 22:49:34
ORGANIZATIONS, MY SORORITY 

[Captioner] 22:49:36
SISTERS, SOME OF MY  CO-WORKERS, 

[Captioner] 22:49:37
NEIGHBORS, TRENDS AND FAMILY, 

[Captioner] 22:49:41
THAT HAVE FILLED WITH VERY MUCH 

[Captioner] 22:49:43
BEING GRATEFUL AND I AM VERY 

[Captioner] 22:49:44
GRATEFUL TO ALL OF THEM AND ALL 

[Captioner] 22:49:47
OF YOU THAT ARE HERE TODAY, HERE 

[Captioner] 22:49:49
IN THE CITY HALL CHAMBERS AS 

[Captioner] 22:49:49
WELL.

[Captioner] 22:49:52
AND THOSE THAT HAVE PRAYED WITH 

[Captioner] 22:49:54
ME, BECAUSE THIS IS A TIME OF 

[Captioner] 22:49:57
PRAYER, THAT IT ONLY MAKES US 

[Captioner] 22:49:57
STRONGER.

[Captioner] 22:50:00
BUT THIS IS SOMETHING THAT I 

[Captioner] 22:50:01
HAVE TO SAY THAT THE GREATEST 

[Captioner] 22:50:05
LOVE OF OUR COMMUNITY IS BY THE 

[Captioner] 22:50:07
MEMBERS SERVING WITH LOVE AND 

[Captioner] 22:50:08
GRACE.

[Captioner] 22:50:09
AND THAT'S ON OUR BUILDING AT 

[Captioner] 22:50:12
THE FREMONT DOWNTOWN CENTER, BY 

[Captioner] 22:50:15
CORETTA SCOTT KING.

[Captioner] 22:50:17
THAT IS ON THE NAME PLATE 

[Captioner] 22:50:17
THERE.

[Captioner] 22:50:19
AND LOVING MY COMMUNITY IS WHAT 

[Captioner] 22:50:22
I'VE DONE WRONG THEN SO BE IT 

[Captioner] 22:50:24
BUT THIS IS UNCALLED FOR AND  

[Captioner] 22:50:26
UNNECESSARY AND A WASTE OF OUR 

[Captioner] 22:50:27
TIME AS A CITY TO SPEND THIS 

[Captioner] 22:50:29
TYPE OF TIME ON THINGS THAT WE 

[Captioner] 22:50:30
SHOULD BE FOCUSING ON.

[Captioner] 22:50:34
THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN SETTLED IN 

[Captioner] 22:50:35
A COMMUNICATION THAT COULD HAVE 

[Captioner] 22:50:37
BEEN SET UP AS A SIMPLE MEETING 

[Captioner] 22:50:38
WITH PROPER PEOPLE THERE.

[Captioner] 22:50:40
BUT YOU DON'T NEED TO SAY WE DID 

[Captioner] 22:50:41
IT AND WE TALKED IT.

[Captioner] 22:50:43
NO, PEOPLE FOLLOW UP.

[Captioner] 22:50:44
THEY WORK TOGETHER.

[Captioner] 22:50:46
THEY CONTINUOUSLY WANT TO 

[Captioner] 22:50:46
PARTNER TOGETHER.

[Captioner] 22:50:47
OBVIOUSLY WITH THIS ACTION YOU 

[Captioner] 22:50:49
DON'T WANT TO PARTNER WITH ME.

[Captioner] 22:50:53
YOU WANT TO LEAVE THE BY AND

[Captioner] 22:50:56
 LEAVE A BOMB OF RESENTMENT AND 

[Captioner] 22:50:57
TURMOIL WITH OUR CITY THAT 

[Captioner] 22:50:59
LEAVES US NOT AS THE HAPPIEST 

[Captioner] 22:51:01
CITY IN THE U.S.A.

[Captioner] 22:51:03
THIS IS A VERY BAD DAY.

[Captioner] 22:51:07
>> Mayor Mei:   COUNCILMEMBER 

[Captioner] 22:51:09
SHAO AND I WILL CLOSE TOO ON 

[Captioner] 22:51:12
THIS ITEM BUT I WILL CALL THE.

[Captioner] 22:51:12
>> Councilmember Shao:

CERTAINLY.

[Captioner] 22:51:15
FACT OF ALL THE INDIVIDUALS AND 

[Captioner] 22:51:18
NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS I 

[Captioner] 22:51:20
RECOGNIZE THAT MANY OF THEM ARE 

[Captioner] 22:51:23
ACTUALLY THE RECIPIENTS OF THE 

[Captioner] 22:51:26
PROCLAMATIONS THAT WERE 

[Captioner] 22:51:31
REQUESTED BY TERESA COX.

[Captioner] 22:51:35
FACT NUMBER 2:  COUNCILMEMBER 

[Captioner] 22:51:40
COX CONTINUES HER NARRATIVE THAT

[Captioner] 22:51:43
 SHE WORKED OR WORKS AT THE 

[Captioner] 22:51:44
WHITE HOUSE.

[Captioner] 22:51:45
PLEASE.

[Captioner] 22:51:48
COUNCILMEMBER COX, PLEASE SHARE 

[Captioner] 22:51:51
WITH THE AUDIENCE AT WHAT TIME 

[Captioner] 22:51:54
IN WHAT ROOM IN THE WHITE HOUSE 

[Captioner] 22:51:57
YOU HAVE WORKED IN YOUR WHOLE 

[Captioner] 22:52:00
LIFE?

[Captioner] 22:52:03
IF YOU MEANT WORKED FOR THE 

[Captioner] 22:52:06
WHITE HOUSE, WELL, LOT OF PEOPLE 

[Captioner] 22:52:08
WORKED FOR THE WHOIS, DIRECTLY 

[Captioner] 22:52:10
OR INDIRECTLY, AS A GOVERNMENT 

[Captioner] 22:52:12
EMPLOYEE, CORRECT?

[Captioner] 22:52:16
AND THAT'S NOTHING TO PROVE

[Captioner] 22:52:18
 THE CREDENTIAL OF YOURS.

[Captioner] 22:52:22
FACT NUMBER 3:  HAD MAYOR MEI

[Captioner] 22:52:26
 NOT MADE THIS REFERRAL, I WOULD 

[Captioner] 22:52:30
HAVE MADE THE SAME REFERRAL FOR 

[Captioner] 22:52:32
THE VIOLATION OF THE CITY 

[Captioner] 22:52:36
COUNCIL HANDBOOK

[Captioner] 22:52:40
 BY COUNCILMEMBER TERESA COCK H 

[Captioner] 22:52:42
 COX.

[Captioner] 22:52:44
SO PLEASE THIS IS NOT ABOUT YOU 

[Captioner] 22:52:45
AND THE MAYOR.

[Captioner] 22:52:46
THIS IS ABOUT WHETHER OR NOT 

[Captioner] 22:52:50
THERE WAS A VIOLATION.

[Captioner] 22:52:53
AND TODAY, WE'RE GOING TO VOTE 

[Captioner] 22:52:57
ON THIS ITEM TO SEE WHETHER IT'S 

[Captioner] 22:53:00
NOT WORTHWHILE BASED ON WHAT HAS 

[Captioner] 22:53:02
BEEN SAID AND WHAT HAS BEEN 

[Captioner] 22:53:06
RECORDED, TO INITIATE A STUDY TO

[Captioner] 22:53:10
 SEE WHETHER THE VIOLATION WAS

[Captioner] 22:53:15
  INDEED TRUE

[Captioner] 22:53:16
 OR NOT.

[Captioner] 22:53:20
>> Mayor Mei:   COUNCILMEMBER 

[Captioner] 22:53:21
KENG AND THORN I HAVE SOME 

[Captioner] 22:53:22
COMMENTS TOO.

[Captioner] 22:53:25
THANK YOU.

[Captioner] 22:53:26
>> Councilmember Keng:   THANK 

[Captioner] 22:53:28
YOU MAYOR.

[Captioner] 22:53:30
AS A UNFORTUNATE THAT WE , THAT 

[Captioner] 22:53:34
WE HAVE TO EVEN CONSIDER

[Captioner] 22:53:38
 THIS FOR EXAMPLE POTENTIAL 

[Captioner] 22:53:40
DIRECTION FOR CENSURE.

[Captioner] 22:53:42
I DON'T FEEL THAT IT IS THE 

[Captioner] 22:53:47
RIGHT PROCESS BEFORE CONDUCTING 

[Captioner] 22:53:49
MORE MEDIATION TO RESOLVE THE 

[Captioner] 22:53:52
THE DIFFERENCES AND HAVE TO, YOU 

[Captioner] 22:53:53
KNOW, PROCEED DIRECTLY TO A 

[Captioner] 22:53:55
CENSURE DISCUSSION.

[Captioner] 22:53:59
AND I HAVE TO SAY THAT ONE OF 

[Captioner] 22:54:02
THE FACTS THAT COUNCILMEMBER 

[Captioner] 22:54:04
SHAO WAS POINTING TO WAS NOT 

[Captioner] 22:54:06
CORRECT.

[Captioner] 22:54:09
I PERSONALLY, I HAD ON AT LEAST 

[Captioner] 22:54:12
ONE OCCASION, WHEN I WAS ASKED 

[Captioner] 22:54:17
BY A COMMUNITY GROUP, TO REQUEST 

[Captioner] 22:54:18
PROCLAMATION, AND I HAD 

[Captioner] 22:54:20
CONSULTED WITH CITY CLERK AT THE 

[Captioner] 22:54:22
TIME I BELIEVE WHETHER IT'S 

[Captioner] 22:54:24
APPROPRIATE FOR ME, YOU KNOW, AS 

[Captioner] 22:54:25
A COUNCILMEMBER TO REQUEST FOR 

[Captioner] 22:54:29
ONE, BECAUSE THE GROUP WAS 

[Captioner] 22:54:31
ASKING ME IF THEY COULD RECEIVE 

[Captioner] 22:54:32
ONE.

[Captioner] 22:54:35
THIS WAS IN PARTICULAR THE SIKH 

[Captioner] 22:54:39
COMMUNITY, WHICH, YOU KNOW, WHOM 

[Captioner] 22:54:41
HANDS IDENTITY THOUSANDS OF 

[Captioner] 22:54:43
BOTTLES OF WATER FOR FREE AT 

[Captioner] 22:54:46
OVER FREMONT 4th OF JULY PARADE 

[Captioner] 22:54:48
AND BECAUSE IT'S HARD, IT'S 

[Captioner] 22:54:50
ALWAYS HOT TO PARADE AND IF 

[Captioner] 22:54:51
PEOPLE DIDN'T HAVE THAT ACCESS 

[Captioner] 22:54:53
TO FREE BOLTSDZ OF WATER BECAUSE 

[Captioner] 22:54:56
IMAGINE THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE 

[Captioner] 22:55:00
GOING TO, THEY WOULD BE MOVING 

[Captioner] 22:55:03
THEIR -- PEOPLE DIDN'T HAVE THAT 

[Captioner] 22:55:04
WATER MANY PEOPLE WOULD HAVE 

[Captioner] 22:55:06
FAINTED DURING THAT TIME.

[Captioner] 22:55:09
SO THEY WERE ASKING FOR A 

[Captioner] 22:55:12
PROCLAMATION, YOU KNOW, WHICH I, 

[Captioner] 22:55:14
YOU KNOW, I COULD HAVE SAID OH 

[Captioner] 22:55:16
GO TO THIS WEBSITE, GO TO -- LET 

[Captioner] 22:55:18
ME GIVE YOU THE LINK, YOU CAN 

[Captioner] 22:55:20
FILL THIS OUT, YOU KNOW, AND GET 

[Captioner] 22:55:23
IT, BUT, YOU KNOW, IT WOULD ONLY 

[Captioner] 22:55:25
TAKE ME A FEW MINUTES AND I JUST 

[Captioner] 22:55:28
COULDN'T SAY TO THEM, DO IT  

[Captioner] 22:55:29
YOURSELF, YOU KNOW, I THINK 

[Captioner] 22:55:31
THAT'S FOR ME ONE OF MY 

[Captioner] 22:55:32
CORROBORATES AS A COUNCILMEMBER 

[Captioner] 22:55:33
WHEN PEOPLE, YOU KNOW, 

[Captioner] 22:55:35
ESPECIALLY FOR PEOPLE THAT HAVE 

[Captioner] 22:55:37
LANGUAGE BARRIERS, IT'S NOT THE 

[Captioner] 22:55:39
EASIEST THING ESPECIALLY 

[Captioner] 22:55:41
CONSIDERING IN FREMONT I THINK A 

[Captioner] 22:55:42
LOT OF THE GROUPS THAT 

[Captioner] 22:55:44
COUNCILMEMBER COX WERE HELPING 

[Captioner] 22:55:48
TO FILL OUT THESE FORMS WERE

[Captioner] 22:55:50
 NOT LIKE ENGLISH IS NOT THEIR 

[Captioner] 22:55:51
FIRST LANGUAGE FOR THEM.

[Captioner] 22:55:54
SO YEAH, SO AFTER I CONSULTED 

[Captioner] 22:55:58
WITH CITY CLERK, I DID REQUEST 

[Captioner] 22:55:59
THIS PROCLAMATION FOR THEM AND 

[Captioner] 22:56:01
THEY DID COME TO THE COUNCIL TO 

[Captioner] 22:56:05
RECEIVE THE PROCLAMATION.

[Captioner] 22:56:09
SO I DON'T THINK, EVEN IF ANY

[Captioner] 22:56:11
 BEHAVIORS WOULD VIOLATE, YOU 

[Captioner] 22:56:13
KNOW, THE HANDBOOK AND THINGS 

[Captioner] 22:56:16
LIKE THAT, I DON'T THINK THIS 

[Captioner] 22:56:18
WARRANTS A CENSURE PER SE.

[Captioner] 22:56:20
AND OF COURSE I WOULD BE HAPPY 

[Captioner] 22:56:21
TO HEAR FROM OTHER 

[Captioner] 22:56:21
COUNCILMEMBERS.

[Captioner] 22:56:31
>> Mayor Mei:   KATHY, I'M  

[Captioner] 22:56:35
SORRY, COUNCILMEMBER KIMBERLIN.

[Captioner] 22:56:35
>> Councilmember Kimberlin:   I 

[Captioner] 22:56:37
HIT IT AND I DIDN'T GO ON.

[Captioner] 22:56:38
MY QUESTION WOULD BE IS THIS 

[Captioner] 22:56:40
SOMETHING THAT CAN BE CONDUCTED 

[Captioner] 22:56:42
IN PRIVATE?

[Captioner] 22:56:47
>> Cty. Attny. Alvarado:  , NO.

[Captioner] 22:56:49
IN TERMS OF A CENSURE 

[Captioner] 22:56:49
PROCEDURE.

[Captioner] 22:56:52
I MEAN TWO INDIVIDUAL 

[Captioner] 22:56:53
COUNCILMEMBERS CAN CERTAINLY 

[Captioner] 22:56:55
DISCUSS, WITHOUT VOTING THE 

[Captioner] 22:56:57
BROWN ACT, TWO COUNCILMEMBERS 

[Captioner] 22:56:59
CAN DISCUSS AN ITEM PRIVATELY 

[Captioner] 22:57:02
BUT IN TERMS OF THE CENSURE 

[Captioner] 22:57:03
PROCESS ITSELF THAT IS A PUBLIC 

[Captioner] 22:57:04
PROCESS.

[Captioner] 22:57:05
THE BROWN ACT DOES NOTE ALLOW 

[Captioner] 22:57:06
CITIES TO CONDUCT THESE 

[Captioner] 22:57:09
PROCEDURES IN CLOSED SESSION AS 

[Captioner] 22:57:10
WAS SUGGESTED EARLIER.

[Captioner] 22:57:12
SO IF IT IS A CENSURE PROCEDURE 

[Captioner] 22:57:13
THAT IS PURSUED IT WOULD NEED TO 

[Captioner] 22:57:14
TAKE PLACE PUBLICLY.

[Captioner] 22:57:21
>> Mayor Mei:   THANK YOU.

[Captioner] 22:57:22
SO I'D LIKE TO ASK THE CITY 

[Captioner] 22:57:24
CLERK SOME QUESTIONS TOO AT THIS 

[Captioner] 22:57:25
TIME.

[Captioner] 22:57:27
AND JUST TO CLARIFY.

[Captioner] 22:57:29
SO I KNOW WE'VE HAD HAD MANY 

[Captioner] 22:57:32
DIFFERENT SMIGHTSES, AND WE'VE 

[Captioner] 22:57:34
TALKED ABOUT THE FACT THAT ON 

[Captioner] 22:57:37
THE COUNCIL HANDBOOK AND ON THE 

[Captioner] 22:57:38
CALENDAR THAT COMES OUT, IT 

[Captioner] 22:57:40
STATES ON THERE SPECIFICALLY 

[Captioner] 22:57:43
THAT WE DON'T ANNOUNCE THE 

[Captioner] 22:57:46
PUBLISHED -- THE DATES OF 

[Captioner] 22:57:48
ANYTHING THAT'S CEREMONIAL UNTIL 

[Captioner] 22:57:50
WE ACTUALLY HAVE IT PUBLISHED ON 

[Captioner] 22:57:51
OUR PUBLIC AGENDA.

[Captioner] 22:57:52
IS THAT CORRECT OR IS THERE A 

[Captioner] 22:57:54
HEADER ON THERE?

[Captioner] 22:57:55
>> The Clerk:   I DON'T KNOW 

[Captioner] 22:57:56
THAT THAT'S ACTUALLY IN THE 

[Captioner] 22:57:57
HANDBOOK.

[Captioner] 22:57:59
BUT --

[Captioner] 22:57:59
>> Mayor Mei:   IT IS ON THE 

[Captioner] 22:58:00
HEADER.

[Captioner] 22:58:01
>> The Clerk:   IT'S BEEN ON 

[Captioner] 22:58:03
PRACTICE THAT THINGS THAT ARE ON 

[Captioner] 22:58:06
THE TENTATIVE AGENDA, OUR 

[Captioner] 22:58:07
INTERNAL WORKING DOCUMENT, IS 

[Captioner] 22:58:11
NOT UP FOR PUBLIC REVIEW.

[Captioner] 22:58:11
>> Mayor Mei:   SURE.

[Captioner] 22:58:14
AND ALSO, IS IT CORRECT THAT AT 

[Captioner] 22:58:17
LEAST INITIALLY, UNTIL WE HAD 

[Captioner] 22:58:21
THE CEREMONIAL REQUEST FORM, 

[Captioner] 22:58:24
WERE THERE MANY OR MULTIPLE AT 

[Captioner] 22:58:27
LEAST TIMES WHERE PROCLAMATION 

[Captioner] 22:58:29
HE WERE OR REQUESTS BER GIVEN TO 

[Captioner] 22:58:33
US WITH A DAY'S NO OR TWO DAYS 

[Captioner] 22:58:35
NO AND ASKING FOR EMERGENCY TURN 

[Captioner] 22:58:35
AROUND?

[Captioner] 22:58:36
>> The Clerk:   THERE HAVE BEEN 

[Captioner] 22:58:37
A NUMBER OVER THE YEARS.

[Captioner] 22:58:38
>> Mayor Mei:   OKAY, I JUST 

[Captioner] 22:58:39
WANTED TO CLARIFY.

[Captioner] 22:58:42
BECAUSE IT'S NOT FOR A LACK OF 

[Captioner] 22:58:43
RESPONSIVENESS, THERE IS ALSO 

[Captioner] 22:58:44
MANY OF THESE.

[Captioner] 22:58:47
SO I ALSO HAVE A QUESTION FOR 

[Captioner] 22:58:49
OUR CITY MANAGER.

[Captioner] 22:58:51
AND OUR CITY ATTORNEY.

[Captioner] 22:58:54
I KNOW THE QUESTION CAME UP, 

[Captioner] 22:58:56
WHETHER OR NOT I'VE EVER ASKED, 

[Captioner] 22:58:58
SINCE THE COUNCIL RETREAT, TO 

[Captioner] 22:59:00
HAVE FOLLOW UP ON THESE ITEMS 

[Captioner] 22:59:01
SPECIFICALLY.

[Captioner] 22:59:04
AND HAVE I EXPRESSED OR ASKED 

[Captioner] 22:59:06
FOR A FOLLOW-UP, INCLUDING UP 

[Captioner] 22:59:08
UNTIL AND INCLUDING MEDIATION TO 

[Captioner] 22:59:09
FOLLOW UP ON THESE?

[Captioner] 22:59:12
AND IN FACT ASKED TO SCHEDULE 

[Captioner] 22:59:13
ADDITIONAL MEETINGS BECAUSE WE 

[Captioner] 22:59:14
NEVER CLOSED THE LAST MEETING 

[Captioner] 22:59:16
OUT AND I'D ASKED FOR THE 

[Captioner] 22:59:17
SUMMARY REPORT.

[Captioner] 22:59:21
IS THAT TRUE?

[Captioner] 22:59:24
>> Karena Shackelford:   SO CRUR 

[Captioner] 22:59:26
QUESTION HAD MULTIPLE PARTS.

[Captioner] 22:59:28
I BELIEVE ONE THING YOU ASKED 

[Captioner] 22:59:30
ABOUT IS WHETHER OR NOT YOU 

[Captioner] 22:59:32
ASKED FOR FOLLOW-UP ON THIS 

[Captioner] 22:59:33
PARTICULAR TOPIC.

[Captioner] 22:59:34
>> Mayor Mei:   YES, MULTIPLE 

[Captioner] 22:59:35
TIMES.

[Captioner] 22:59:36
>> Karena Shackelford:   AND AS 

[Captioner] 22:59:37
YOU STATED EARLIER YOU WERE 

[Captioner] 22:59:39
ADVISED BY THE CITY ATTORNEY AND 

[Captioner] 22:59:40
MYSELF THAT THIS WOULD BE A 

[Captioner] 22:59:43
MATTER FOR THE TWO OF YOU TO 

[Captioner] 22:59:47
RESOLVE OR FOR YOU TO PUT FORTH 

[Captioner] 22:59:48
THE REFERRAL LIKE YOU'VE DONE 

[Captioner] 22:59:49
NOW.

[Captioner] 22:59:50
>> Mayor Mei:   RIGHT BECAUSE 

[Captioner] 22:59:52
THIS IS THE REMEDY YOU'D GIVEN 

[Captioner] 22:59:54
TO ME TO --

[Captioner] 22:59:55
>> Karena Shackelford:   THIS IS 

[Captioner] 22:59:58
THE REMEDY IN THE COUNCIL 

[Captioner] 22:59:59
APPROVED HANDBOOK.

[Captioner] 23:00:00
>> Mayor Mei:   THAT IS THE 

[Captioner] 23:00:02
REASON I PURSUED THIS METHOD.

[Captioner] 23:00:04
WAS IT TRUE I ASKED MULTIPLE 

[Captioner] 23:00:05
TIMES WHETHER OR NOT THERE WERE 

[Captioner] 23:00:07
OTHER OPTIONS BECAUSE I DID TRY 

[Captioner] 23:00:08
TO TUBING TO YOU FIRST ABOUT 

[Captioner] 23:00:10
WHAT OTHER OPTIONS INCLUDING 

[Captioner] 23:00:12
MEDIATORS THAT WE CAN BRING 

[Captioner] 23:00:13
PEOPLE TOGETHER ON THIS 

[Captioner] 23:00:15
CONVERSATION?

[Captioner] 23:00:16
>> Karena Shackelford:   YEAH, 

[Captioner] 23:00:18
YOU'VE MENTIONED THIS ON 

[Captioner] 23:00:19
MULTIPLE OCCASIONS AND I THINK 

[Captioner] 23:00:20
EACH TIME, YOU KNOW, MY RESPONSE 

[Captioner] 23:00:21
WAS THE SAME.

[Captioner] 23:00:24
AND THEN AS FAR AS MEDIATION IS 

[Captioner] 23:00:28
CONCERNED, THAT WAS DECLINED.

[Captioner] 23:00:30
>> Mayor Mei:   OKAY SO I DID 

[Captioner] 23:00:34
REACH OUT AND ASK FOR 

[Captioner] 23:00:34
MEDIATION?

[Captioner] 23:00:34
>> Karena Shackelford:   WE'VE 

[Captioner] 23:00:37
DISCUSSED MEDIATION, YES.

[Captioner] 23:00:39
>> Mayor Mei:   AND SO IT WAS 

[Captioner] 23:00:40
DECLINED AND NOT ACCEPTED.

[Captioner] 23:00:44
I WANTED TO NOTE FOR THE

[Captioner] 23:00:46
 --

[Captioner] 23:00:47
>> Karena Shackelford:   I WANT 

[Captioner] 23:00:51
TO CLARIFY AND PUT THE MEDIATION 

[Captioner] 23:00:53
QUESTION INTO CONTEXT.

[Captioner] 23:00:54
>> Mayor Mei:   UH-HUH.

[Captioner] 23:00:55
>> Karena Shackelford:   WHEN 

[Captioner] 23:00:56
WE'VE TALKED ABOUT MEDIATION 

[Captioner] 23:00:59
BEFORE IT WASN'T SPECIFIC TO 

[Captioner] 23:01:00
THIS ISSUE THAT YOU ALL ARE 

[Captioner] 23:01:03
ADDRESSING TODAY.

[Captioner] 23:01:06
IT WAS ABOUT, YOU KNOW, A NUMBER 

[Captioner] 23:01:08
OF DIFFERENT ISSUES THAT HAD 

[Captioner] 23:01:10
SURFACED.

[Captioner] 23:01:12
SO IT WASN'T JUST ABOUT THIS, IT 

[Captioner] 23:01:13
WAS ABOUT A NUMBER OF ISSUES.

[Captioner] 23:01:18
AND IF I RECALL, I THINK

[Captioner] 23:01:21
 MEDIATION WAS OFFERED, BUT 

[Captioner] 23:01:24
NEITHER PARTY DECIDED TO PURSUE 

[Captioner] 23:01:24
IT.

[Captioner] 23:01:27
>> Mayor Mei:   WELL I'D ASKED 

[Captioner] 23:01:28
BECAUSE I WANTED TO PURSUE IT AT 

[Captioner] 23:01:30
THAT TIME.

[Captioner] 23:01:32
SO PLEASE NOTE, I APPRECIATE 

[Captioner] 23:01:33
EVERYONE COMING TO SPEAK TODAY.

[Captioner] 23:01:34
ON THIS TOPIC.

[Captioner] 23:01:37
AND I APPRECIATE THAT YOU HAVE A 

[Captioner] 23:01:38
CERTAIN PERSPECTIVE.

[Captioner] 23:01:41
AND I WILL ASK MY COUNCIL TO SEE 

[Captioner] 23:01:42
WHETHER OR NOT THERE IS AN 

[Captioner] 23:01:43
INTEREST TO MOVE TOWARD.

[Captioner] 23:01:46
BUT KNOW THAT WHILE YOU'VE 

[Captioner] 23:01:49
TALKED ABOUT SERVING AS THE 

[Captioner] 23:01:51
FIRST IN ALMOST 70 YEARS, I TOO, 

[Captioner] 23:01:54
WHICH IS NOT RECOGNIZED BY YOU, 

[Captioner] 23:01:56
OR MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC 

[Captioner] 23:01:57
SOMETIMES ESPECIALLY CERTAIN 

[Captioner] 23:02:01
PARTIES, THAT I AM TOO, HAVE 

[Captioner] 23:02:04
SERVED THIS CITY AND I'VE SAT AT 

[Captioner] 23:02:06
WHERE THE MEDIA DESK IS FOR OVER 

[Captioner] 23:02:09
20 YEARS COMING TO THESE 

[Captioner] 23:02:10
MEETINGS MYSELF.

[Captioner] 23:02:14
AND I HAVE BEEN VERY HONORED TO

[Captioner] 23:02:17
 PARTICIPATE IN MULTIPLE GROUPS 

[Captioner] 23:02:20
IN THE COMMUNITY ACROSS 

[Captioner] 23:02:21
DIFFERENT AGENCIES OVER THE 

[Captioner] 23:02:22
YEARS.

[Captioner] 23:02:26
AND I'VE SERVED HONORABLY AND 

[Captioner] 23:02:29
WITH MY FULL HEART INTO THIS.

[Captioner] 23:02:32
AND WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT THE  

[Captioner] 23:02:35
SADNESS OR DISGUST OF HOW IT'S 

[Captioner] 23:02:38
HURT YOUR FAMILY, I HOPE THAT 

[Captioner] 23:02:40
YOU UNDERSTAND THAT HAVING 

[Captioner] 23:02:43
PEOPLE ATTACK ME AS A COMMUNIST, 

[Captioner] 23:02:46
HAVING PEOPLE ATTACK ME ON SO 

[Captioner] 23:02:47
MANY DIFFERENT LEVELS, COMING TO 

[Captioner] 23:02:50
MY HOUSE AND OTHER AREAS, HAVE 

[Captioner] 23:02:52
BEEN VERY HURTFUL FOR MY FAMILY, 

[Captioner] 23:02:53
TOO.

[Captioner] 23:02:57
BECAUSE NOBODY I THINK ASKED FOR

[Captioner] 23:03:00
 SERVICE TO BE PUT AT RISK.

[Captioner] 23:03:04
I HAVE BEEN

[Captioner] 23:03:07
 ALSO A TRAIL BLAZER IN MY OWN 

[Captioner] 23:03:10
RIGHT AS THE FIRST WOMAN IN 

[Captioner] 23:03:12
ASIAN -- WHICH I DON'T THROW IN 

[Captioner] 23:03:14
EVERYONE'S FACE, WHICH I'M 

[Captioner] 23:03:17
GRATEFUL TO BE A PERSON OF ASIAN 

[Captioner] 23:03:20
DISSENT AND REPRESENTATION DOES 

[Captioner] 23:03:21
COUNT.

[Captioner] 23:03:23
AND SO I'VE TALKED ABOUT THIS 

[Captioner] 23:03:25
BEFORE ON THE COUNCIL.

[Captioner] 23:03:26
I'VE TALKED ABOUT THIS AT OUR 

[Captioner] 23:03:28
LEADERSHIP RETREAT.

[Captioner] 23:03:31
THAT SOMETIMES, YOU KNOW, IT 

[Captioner] 23:03:32
DOESN'T REFLECT IN OUR COMMUNITY 

[Captioner] 23:03:34
THE WAY I'D LIKE IT TO.

[Captioner] 23:03:37
AND SO I HOPE THAT THE PUBLIC 

[Captioner] 23:03:40
FOR WHAT IT'S WORTH FOR WHETHER 

[Captioner] 23:03:44
YOU ARE A PTA OR FOR YOUR 

[Captioner] 23:03:46
DIFFERENT GROUPS THAT I'VE GONE 

[Captioner] 23:03:52
TO, FOR UKRAINIAN GROUPS, FOR

[Captioner] 23:03:54
 THE COMMUNITY GROUPS FOR THE 

[Captioner] 23:03:55
DIFFERENT AGENCIES, I THINK WE 

[Captioner] 23:03:58
WORE THE ONLY CITY THAT ALSO 

[Captioner] 23:04:02
RAISED A HALF A MILL DOLLARS FOR 

[Captioner] 23:04:08
HELPING THE AVERAGE

[Captioner] 23:04:11
 REFUGEES AT THAT TIME, I WENT 

[Captioner] 23:04:15
OUT AND TALKED TO SECRETARY 

[Captioner] 23:04:19
MAJORQU SERVINGS

[Captioner] 23:04:23
RQUES, I

[Captioner] 23:04:25
 THINK IT'S THAT VERY REASON 

[Captioner] 23:04:27
THAT I HAVE FIVE MEETINGS LEFT.

[Captioner] 23:04:29
I HAVE NOTHING TO GAIN OR 

[Captioner] 23:04:31
ENDORSEMENTS TO SECURE OR 

[Captioner] 23:04:34
POLITICAL PARTIES TO PLEASE TO 

[Captioner] 23:04:36
SAY THAT'S WHY I WANTED TO 

[Captioner] 23:04:38
FOLLOW THESE PROCESS ET CETERA.

[Captioner] 23:04:40
MY SOLE PURPOSE FOR THIS TONIGHT 

[Captioner] 23:04:43
WAS TO CLARIFY THAT PROCEDURES 

[Captioner] 23:04:46
THAT ARE DEFINED BY US AS A 

[Captioner] 23:04:50
COUNCIL AND AGREED UPON WERE NOT 

[Captioner] 23:04:51
BEING FOLLOWED.

[Captioner] 23:04:54
AND THAT IT IS A SHAME THAT 

[Captioner] 23:04:58
WHOMEVER SUCCEEDS ME OR WHOMEVER 

[Captioner] 23:05:01
SERVES ON THE THE COUNCIL SHOULD 

[Captioner] 23:05:05
BE MISALIGNED TO BE SLAN

[Captioner] 23:05:07
 SLANDERED AND TO BE TREATED 

[Captioner] 23:05:09
POORLY.

[Captioner] 23:05:10
AND SO IF IT'S SOMETHING THAT 

[Captioner] 23:05:13
THE PUBLIC AGREES TO THEN THAT, 

[Captioner] 23:05:14
SO BE IT.

[Captioner] 23:05:16
BUT I WANTED TOIC MA SURE THAT 

[Captioner] 23:05:19
THIS WAS THE ONLY RECOURSE I HAD 

[Captioner] 23:05:22
AND THAT THE COUNCIL CAN EITHER 

[Captioner] 23:05:24
STAND WITH ME OR DOESN'T STAND 

[Captioner] 23:05:25
WITH WITH ME ON THIS.

[Captioner] 23:05:29
BUT I HAVE SPOKEN MY PIECE AND I 

[Captioner] 23:05:31
AM DAMN PROUD OF MY SERVICE.

[Captioner] 23:05:34
I HAVE WORKED MY BUTT OFF, AND 

[Captioner] 23:05:36
I'VE BEEN HERE FOR THREE YEARS 

[Captioner] 23:05:38
WHEN SOMETIMES NO ONE WAS IN 

[Captioner] 23:05:41
THIS BUILDING, AND I WORKED 

[Captioner] 23:05:44
EVERY SINGLE DAY, EVERY SINGLE 

[Captioner] 23:05:46
HOLIDAY AND SO INFORM YOU TO 

[Captioner] 23:05:48
JUDGE MY LEADERSHIP AND SAY THAT 

[Captioner] 23:05:50
I'VE FAILED TO DELIVER OR BEEN 

[Captioner] 23:05:53
HERE FOR OUR COMMUNITY IS A 

[Captioner] 23:05:54
TOTAL DISRESPECT.

[Captioner] 23:05:57
YOU HAVE BEEN AT MEETINGS WITH 

[Captioner] 23:05:59
ME, AND IT'S NOT THAT YOU JUST 

[Captioner] 23:06:01
ALONE IGNORE ME, YOU HAVE FLAT 

[Captioner] 23:06:03
OUT ATTACKED ME IN SITUATIONS 

[Captioner] 23:06:04
WHERE YOU FELT LIKE I HAVEN'T 

[Captioner] 23:06:06
CALLED YOU PUBLICLY.

[Captioner] 23:06:09
BY THE TITLE OF YOUR REQUEST.

[Captioner] 23:06:13
AND SO I THINK IT'S POOR FORM TO 

[Captioner] 23:06:16
JUDGE ME ON THIS NOW.

[Captioner] 23:06:18
I DIDN'T COME TO BRING THIS 

[Captioner] 23:06:19
DISCUSSION FOR POLITICAL 

[Captioner] 23:06:20
PURPOSES.

[Captioner] 23:06:21
I CAME TO THIS DISCUSSION 

[Captioner] 23:06:24
BECAUSE THE LAST TIME YOU PUT IN 

[Captioner] 23:06:27
A PROCLAMATION AND DIDN'T GET 

[Captioner] 23:06:30
WHAT YOU WANTED, YOU AS ALWAYS, 

[Captioner] 23:06:32
SENT OUT MANY E-MAILS TO PEOPLE 

[Captioner] 23:06:35
AND TRY TO GET A MOB TO ATTACK 

[Captioner] 23:06:36
THE MAYOR.

[Captioner] 23:06:40
BECAUSE THAT'S THE ONLY MOAT YOU 

[Captioner] 23:06:44
OPEN REN DIE YOU --

[Captioner] 23:06:47
 MODUS OPERANDI YOU LIKE TO 

[Captioner] 23:06:47
CHOOSE.

[Captioner] 23:06:50
I FEEL IT'S IMPORTANT FOR ME, 

[Captioner] 23:06:51
WHILE I DON'T HAVE A HUGE MOB TO 

[Captioner] 23:06:53
BE ABLE TO STAND UP FOR MYSELF 

[Captioner] 23:06:56
AS AN INDIVIDUAL AND TO SAY  

[Captioner] 23:06:58
THAT, YOU KNOW, I FEEL IT'S 

[Captioner] 23:07:01
IMPORTANT THAT WE HAVE A MODICUM 

[Captioner] 23:07:03
OF AGREEMENT, THAT THIS IS THE 

[Captioner] 23:07:05
WAY THAT WE SELF-GOVERN AND THIS 

[Captioner] 23:07:08
IS THE ONLY OPERATIONAL OPTION 

[Captioner] 23:07:08
THAT I HAD.

[Captioner] 23:07:11
YOU ARE THE ONLY COUNCILMEMBER 

[Captioner] 23:07:14
AFTER AN ELECTION WHERE I'VE 

[Captioner] 23:07:15
INVITED OVER SINGLE 

[Captioner] 23:07:17
COUNCILMEMBER OUT TO MEALS AND 

[Captioner] 23:07:18
YOU SAID THAT I IGNORE YOU BUT I 

[Captioner] 23:07:20
HAVE REACHED OUT TO YOU MULTIPLE 

[Captioner] 23:07:22
TIMES IN THE PAST FOR LUNCH, FOR 

[Captioner] 23:07:23
DINNER, WITH YOUR  

[Captioner] 23:07:25
COUNCILMEMBERS, YES I HAVE, AND 

[Captioner] 23:07:28
YOU CAN DISAGREE ON THAT.

[Captioner] 23:07:29
BUT AND YOU ARE THE ONLY ONE 

[Captioner] 23:07:30
WHO'S REJECTED ME.

[Captioner] 23:07:34
SO I THINK IN ALL FAIRNESS, YOU 

[Captioner] 23:07:37
SHOULD ACKNOWLEDGE THAT, TOO.

[Captioner] 23:07:40
SO COUNCILMEMBER SALWAN.

[Captioner] 23:07:40
>> Councilmember Salwan:   THANK 

[Captioner] 23:07:42
YOU, MADAM MAYOR.

[Captioner] 23:07:43
JUST HAD A QUESTION FROM THE 

[Captioner] 23:07:44
CITY ATTORNEY.

[Captioner] 23:07:46
SO IN THE -- WHEN YOU READ THAT 

[Captioner] 23:07:48
IDENTITY YOU MENTIONED THE 

[Captioner] 23:07:50
COMMUNITY MEMBER, SO I JUST 

[Captioner] 23:07:51
WANTED TO GET CLARITY.

[Captioner] 23:07:55
SO IS -- ARE WE SAYING THE THE 

[Captioner] 23:07:57
 COUNCILMEMBER IS A COMMUNITY 

[Captioner] 23:07:59
MEMBER AS WELL, A COUNCILMEMBER 

[Captioner] 23:08:00
CAN APPLY FOR THE PROCLAMATION?

[Captioner] 23:08:02
I JUST WANT TO UNDERSTAND HOW IT 

[Captioner] 23:08:05
READS.

[Captioner] 23:08:07
>> Cty. Attny. Alvarado:   SINCE 

[Captioner] 23:08:08
THE COUNCILMEMBER IS NOT 

[Captioner] 23:08:09
DISWEEPPED, IT COULD BE 

[Captioner] 23:08:11
INTERPRETED THAT IT COAB A 

[Captioner] 23:08:13
COUNCILMEMBER FROM SUBMITTING A 

[Captioner] 23:08:15
RESOLUTION, I MEAN A REQUEST.

[Captioner] 23:08:17
THERE WAS A COMMENT ABOUT 

[Captioner] 23:08:18
ALTERNATIVES TO THE CENSURE 

[Captioner] 23:08:18
PROCEDURE.

[Captioner] 23:08:22
ONE IS TO SIMPLY CLARIFY OUR 

[Captioner] 23:08:24
RULES IN OUR OWN HANDBOOK.

[Captioner] 23:08:26
SHOULD YOU DESIRE TO EITHER 

[Captioner] 23:08:27
CHANGE TERMS OR ADD CAPS OR 

[Captioner] 23:08:28
CHANGE THE PROCESS YOU'RE 

[Captioner] 23:08:29
ENTITLED TO DO THAT AS WELL.

[Captioner] 23:08:32
>> Councilmember Salwan:   YES 

[Captioner] 23:08:34
SO I'VE BEEN ON CITY COUNCIL FOR 

[Captioner] 23:08:37
A LOANING TIME, THIS IS MY  10th 

[Captioner] 23:08:37
YEAR.

[Captioner] 23:08:41
WE DID HAVE A PRACTICE WHERE

[Captioner] 23:08:44
 THE MAYOR WOULD PRIMARILY 

[Captioner] 23:08:45
DECIDE ON THE PROCLAMATION.

[Captioner] 23:08:47
SO AS IS DONE IT IS DIFFERENT 

[Captioner] 23:08:49
THAN WHAT USED TO HAPPEN.

[Captioner] 23:08:51
BUT APPARENTLY THE RULES ARE NOT 

[Captioner] 23:08:52
CLEAR.

[Captioner] 23:08:54
SO PERHAPS WE CAN LOOK AT 

[Captioner] 23:08:56
ADDRESSING THE RULES TO MAKE 

[Captioner] 23:08:59
SURE THAT GOING FORWARD, THAT 

[Captioner] 23:09:00
THEY ARE DONE AT THE DIRECTION 

[Captioner] 23:09:01
OF THE MAYOR.

[Captioner] 23:09:02
IS THAT SOMETHING THAT'S 

[Captioner] 23:09:05
POSSIBLE?

[Captioner] 23:09:08
>> Cty. Attny. Alvarado:   THAT 

[Captioner] 23:09:09
CERTAINLY IS, IF THERE HAS BEEN 

[Captioner] 23:09:12
A PRACTICE THAT THE BODY MAY 

[Captioner] 23:09:13
HAVE UNDERSTOOD TO BE A 

[Captioner] 23:09:14
CONSISTENT PRACTICE IT DOESN'T 

[Captioner] 23:09:15
HURT TO CLARIFY THE RULES IN 

[Captioner] 23:09:19
WRITING SO THERE IS NO  

[Captioner] 23:09:19
AMBIGUITY.

[Captioner] 23:09:19
>> Councilmember Salwan:   I 

[Captioner] 23:09:21
THINK THAT'S WHAT'S HAPPENING IS 

[Captioner] 23:09:22
EVERYBODY HAS A DIFFERENT 

[Captioner] 23:09:23
INTERPRETATION OF WHAT NEEDS TO 

[Captioner] 23:09:24
TAKE PLACE.

[Captioner] 23:09:26
AND I THINK WE'VE HAD A 

[Captioner] 23:09:28
PRECEDENT BUT WE'VE HAD NEW 

[Captioner] 23:09:29
COUNCILMEMBERS JOIN AS WELL.

[Captioner] 23:09:31
BUT I THINK MOST IMPORTANTLY I 

[Captioner] 23:09:33
THINK WE DO DESERVE TRANSPARENCY 

[Captioner] 23:09:34
AND I TRUST THAT ALL THE 

[Captioner] 23:09:35
CONCERNS ARE ADDRESSED.

[Captioner] 23:09:38
>> A FAIR AND IMPARTIAL MANNER.

[Captioner] 23:09:41
AND IT'S VERY IMPORTANT TO 

[Captioner] 23:09:43
MAINTAIN PROFESSIONALISM IN OUR 

[Captioner] 23:09:45
ACTIONS OWN CITY COUNCIL WE DO 

[Captioner] 23:09:46
HAVE AGREEMENTS FROM TIME TO 

[Captioner] 23:09:48
TIME, BUT WE MUST HANDLE THEM 

[Captioner] 23:09:50
RESPECTFULLY AND IN ACCORDING 

[Captioner] 23:09:55
 ACCORDANCE WITH OUR POLICIES.

[Captioner] 23:09:56
AND THERE'S ALWAYS GOING TO BE 

[Captioner] 23:09:58
DIFFERENCE OF OPINION YOU BUT I 

[Captioner] 23:09:59
THINK AT THE END OF THE DAY WE 

[Captioner] 23:10:01
ALL BELIEVE IN SERVING OUR 

[Captioner] 23:10:03
COMMUNITY AND TRY TO MOVE 

[Captioner] 23:10:03
FREMONT FORWARD.

[Captioner] 23:10:05
AND THESE KIND OF ISSUES CAN 

[Captioner] 23:10:06
HAPPEN AND I THINK WE NEED TO 

[Captioner] 23:10:08
LOOK AT CONSTRUCTIVE WAYS TO 

[Captioner] 23:10:11
RESOLVE THIS.

[Captioner] 23:10:13
AND IT'S ALSO IMPORTANT THAT WE 

[Captioner] 23:10:15
RESPECT OUR COUNCIL HANDBOOK.

[Captioner] 23:10:17
I THINK THAT, YOU KNOW, 

[Captioner] 23:10:18
ESSENTIALLY IS HOW WE GOVERN.

[Captioner] 23:10:21
AND I THINK PART OF THIS SHOULD 

[Captioner] 23:10:24
BE TO LOOK AT HOW WE CAN IMPROVE 

[Captioner] 23:10:26
THAT AND I DO RESPECT ALL OF MY 

[Captioner] 23:10:26
COLLEAGUES.

[Captioner] 23:10:29
I KNOW IT'S A DIFFICULT JOB 

[Captioner] 23:10:30
THANKLESS JOB MANY TIMES AND I 

[Captioner] 23:10:32
THINK WE ALL DESERVE SOME 

[Captioner] 23:10:34
RESPECT FOR EVERYBODY AND TO 

[Captioner] 23:10:34
WORK WELL TOGETHER.

[Captioner] 23:10:38
AND SO IF THERE'S A WAY WE CAN 

[Captioner] 23:10:39
CHANNEL SOME OF THIS ENERGY INTO 

[Captioner] 23:10:41
SOME POSITIVE OUTCOME THAT WOULD 

[Captioner] 23:10:44
BE FANTASTIC.

[Captioner] 23:10:45
AND IF THERE ARE SOME POLICIES 

[Captioner] 23:10:49
WE NEED TO LOOK AT OR PROCEDURES 

[Captioner] 23:10:51
IN THE FUTURE WE CAN COME TO BUT 

[Captioner] 23:10:52
HOPEFULLY WE CAN COME TO 

[Captioner] 23:10:53
SOMETHING THAT IS A WIN WIN WIN 

[Captioner] 23:10:54
FOR EVERYBODY.

[Captioner] 23:10:56
THANK YOU.

[Captioner] 23:10:56
>> Mayor Mei:   COUNCILMEMBER 

[Captioner] 23:10:58
CAMPBELL.

[Captioner] 23:10:58
>> Vice Mayor Campbell:   

[Captioner] 23:11:00
ACTUALLY, RAJ MUST HAVE BEEN 

[Captioner] 23:11:02
RIDING MY MIND.

[Captioner] 23:11:03
I MEAN COUNCILMEMBER SALWAN 

[Captioner] 23:11:06
BECAUSE I ACTUALLY --

[Captioner] 23:11:07
>> Mayor Mei:   SORRY, VICE 

[Captioner] 23:11:09
MAYOR CAMPBELL.

[Captioner] 23:11:09
>> Vice Mayor Campbell:   THAT'S 

[Captioner] 23:11:10
OKAY.

[Captioner] 23:11:11
COMMUNITY MEMBERS, I THOUGHT THE 

[Captioner] 23:11:12
SAME THING.

[Captioner] 23:11:15
DOES THAT SAY THAT IT'S YOU KNOW 

[Captioner] 23:11:16
CITY COUNCIL PERSONS.

[Captioner] 23:11:20
BECAUSE I WAS ALWAYS UNDER THE

[Captioner] 23:11:22
 IMPRESSION THAT IT HAD COME 

[Captioner] 23:11:24
FROM A COMMUNITY MEMBER NOT A 

[Captioner] 23:11:25
CITY COUNCIL PERSON.

[Captioner] 23:11:26
SO CLARITY HERE WOULD BE 

[Captioner] 23:11:28
PROBABLY VERY HELPFUL.

[Captioner] 23:11:30
SO THAT WE CAN UNDERSTAND  

[Captioner] 23:11:30
INTENT.

[Captioner] 23:11:32
BECAUSE IF THE INTENT OF THAT 

[Captioner] 23:11:34
LANGUAGE WAS REALLY A COMMUNITY 

[Captioner] 23:11:36
MEMBER AND NOT A CITY COUNCIL 

[Captioner] 23:11:38
MEMBERS, THEN IT'S PROBABLY 

[Captioner] 23:11:39
SHOULD READ THAT WAY.

[Captioner] 23:11:41
AND I THINK THE OTHER PART OF 

[Captioner] 23:11:44
THAT IS, WE DID TRY TO MAKE SOME 

[Captioner] 23:11:47
ADJUSTMENTS TO BE -- TO 

[Captioner] 23:11:48
ACCOMMODATE THE COMMUNITY WHEN 

[Captioner] 23:11:50
THEY DID PUT IN PROCLAMATIONS OF 

[Captioner] 23:11:52
-- WE SAID WE ADDED SOME 

[Captioner] 23:11:54
LANGUAGE THAT SAID, YOU KNOW, WE 

[Captioner] 23:11:59
RECEIVED IT, WE WILL RESPOND

[Captioner] 23:12:01
 TO YOU OR SOMETHING BUT WE 

[Captioner] 23:12:03
DIDN'T PUT A TIME FRAME IN IT.

[Captioner] 23:12:05
SO WHICH MEANT THAT IF I 

[Captioner] 23:12:08
SUBMITTED ONE, I KNEW I WAS 

[Captioner] 23:12:10
GOING TO GET A RESPONSE, BUT I 

[Captioner] 23:12:12
DIDN'T KNOW WHAT THE GAP TIME 

[Captioner] 23:12:14
WAS FROM THE TIME I SUBMIT IT, 

[Captioner] 23:12:16
TO THE TIME IT WAS APPROVED.

[Captioner] 23:12:18
SO IF I DON'T HEAR IN TEN DAYS, 

[Captioner] 23:12:20
DOES THAT SAY I'M NOT GOING TO 

[Captioner] 23:12:24
GET IT, OR HOW DOES A COMMUNITY 

[Captioner] 23:12:27
MEMBER KNOW THAT THEIR REQUEST 

[Captioner] 23:12:29
FOR A PROCLAMATION HAS BEEN 

[Captioner] 23:12:31
DECLINED?

[Captioner] 23:12:32
IS ANOTHER QUESTION I THINK THAT 

[Captioner] 23:12:35
WE NEED TO HAVE ADDRESSED.

[Captioner] 23:12:36
AND THIS DOESN'T SAY.

[Captioner] 23:12:38
IT JUST SAYS THAT THE MAYOR 

[Captioner] 23:12:41
RESERVES THE RIGHT TO DECLINE OR 

[Captioner] 23:12:43
MODIFY REQUESTS AND MAKE 

[Captioner] 23:12:45
EXCEPTIONS TO ANY OF THE 

[Captioner] 23:12:47
FOLLOWING GUIDELINES.

[Captioner] 23:12:50
IT DOESN'T SAY, YOU KNOW, WE'LL 

[Captioner] 23:12:51
GIVE YOU TEN DAYS.

[Captioner] 23:12:53
IT DOES SAY THAT YOU SHOULD 

[Captioner] 23:12:57
SUBMIT IT TWO WEEKS BEFORE THE 

[Captioner] 23:12:59
REQUESTED REQUIRED DATE TO 

[Captioner] 23:13:01
PROVIDE I MEAN I DON'T KNOW HOW 

[Captioner] 23:13:05
-- WHAT CLARITY, BECAUSE 

[Captioner] 23:13:06
COUNCILMEMBER COX SAID THAT IT 

[Captioner] 23:13:11
TOOK HER 18 WEEKS OR SOMETHING.

[Captioner] 23:13:12
AND --

[Captioner] 23:13:13
>> Councilmember Cox:   THERE 

[Captioner] 23:13:16
ARE ONES FOR 24 HOURS TOO.

[Captioner] 23:13:16
>> Vice Mayor Campbell:   IF WE 

[Captioner] 23:13:18
COULD CLARIFY SOME OF THIS JUST 

[Captioner] 23:13:20
TO MAKE IT REALLY CLEAR.

[Captioner] 23:13:22
I'M REALLY SADDENED BY THIS 

[Captioner] 23:13:23
WHOLE THING.

[Captioner] 23:13:25
I REALLY DON'T THINK WE HAVE -- 

[Captioner] 23:13:27
THIS WAS A REALLY CONSTRUCTIVE 

[Captioner] 23:13:29
USE OF OUR TIME.

[Captioner] 23:13:33
AND TO SEE THESE WOMEN GOING 

[Captioner] 23:13:35
BACK AND FORTH AGAINST ONE 

[Captioner] 23:13:36
ANOTHER IS JUST VERY 

[Captioner] 23:13:37
DISHEARTENING.

[Captioner] 23:13:39
I WISH YOU GUYS COULD REALLY 

[Captioner] 23:13:42
WORK THIS OUT, SO THAT WE ARE 

[Captioner] 23:13:46
NOT LOOKING LIKE WE'RE

[Captioner] 23:13:50
 -- WE'RE NOT PROVIDING THE TYPE 

[Captioner] 23:13:52
OF LEADERSHIP THAT THIS CITY 

[Captioner] 23:13:54
DESERVES.

[Captioner] 23:13:56
IS THE WAY THAT I'M GOING TO PUT 

[Captioner] 23:13:57
IT.

[Captioner] 23:13:59
AND TO BE MINDFUL OF TIME IT IS 

[Captioner] 23:14:00
11:15.

[Captioner] 23:14:02
IS THERE A MOTION ON THE FLOOR, 

[Captioner] 23:14:03
DOES ANYBODY WANT TO MAKE A 

[Captioner] 23:14:05
MOTION ON THE FLOOR OR WE JUST 

[Captioner] 23:14:08
WANT TO GIVE THE STAFF DIRECTION 

[Captioner] 23:14:12
ON NEXT STEPS?

[Captioner] 23:14:15
>> Mayor Mei:   COUNCILMEMBER 

[Captioner] 23:14:16
SHAO.

[Captioner] 23:14:16
>> Councilmember Shao:   THANK 

[Captioner] 23:14:17
YOU MADAM MAYOR.

[Captioner] 23:14:20
I BELIEVE THAT USUALLY FOR THE 

[Captioner] 23:14:21
REFERRAL AND THE MOTION MAKER 

[Captioner] 23:14:23
WOULD BE THE PERSON THAT MAKES 

[Captioner] 23:14:24
THE REFERRAL.

[Captioner] 23:14:26
ALL IT TAKES IS A SECOND.

[Captioner] 23:14:27
FOR THAT I WOULD LIKE TO SECOND 

[Captioner] 23:14:29
IT.

[Captioner] 23:14:29
>> Mayor Mei:   I'LL MAKE THE 

[Captioner] 23:14:32
MOTION AND YOU'LL SECOND IT.

[Captioner] 23:14:34
AND WE'LL CALL FOR THE VOTE.

[Captioner] 23:14:35
>> Vice Mayor Campbell:   CAN 

[Captioner] 23:14:37
YOU CLARIFY THE MOTION AGAIN 

[Captioner] 23:14:37
PLEASE?

[Captioner] 23:14:38
>> Mayor Mei:   THE MOTION IS 

[Captioner] 23:14:40
WHETHER OR NOT WE HAVE A STUDY 

[Captioner] 23:14:43
AS TO WHETHER OR NOT THE 

[Captioner] 23:14:44
COUNCILMEMBER IS IN COMPLIANCE 

[Captioner] 23:14:45
WITH THE HANDBOOK.

[Captioner] 23:14:47
AND WE CAN DO IT TWO PARTS.

[Captioner] 23:14:49
ONE IS WHETHER OR NOT YOUR 

[Captioner] 23:14:51
COMPLIANCE WITH THE HANDBOOK AND 

[Captioner] 23:14:52
TWO WHETHER OR NOT YOU WANT TO 

[Captioner] 23:14:54
HAVE A DEFINED CENSURE  

[Captioner] 23:14:54
PROCEDURE.

[Captioner] 23:14:57
SO IF YOU WANT TO DO TWO 

[Captioner] 23:14:59
SEPARATE VOTES ON THAT IF THAT'S 

[Captioner] 23:15:00
SOMETHING EASIER FOR YOU.

[Captioner] 23:15:06
>> Vice Mayor Campbell:   DID WE 

[Captioner] 23:15:08
HEAR CITY ATTORNEY SAY THAT WE 

[Captioner] 23:15:10
HAD AN ALTERNATIVE TO SEE IF WE 

[Captioner] 23:15:12
COULD MAKE -- JUST MOVE WITH 

[Captioner] 23:15:13
MAKING SOME CLARIFICATION ET 

[Captioner] 23:15:17
S TO THE HANDBOOK

[Captioner] 23:15:22
 AND GET A COMMITMENT A SIGN OR 

[Captioner] 23:15:23
ACKNOWLEDGMENT THAT WE RECEIVED 

[Captioner] 23:15:27
IT, WE INTEND TO LIVE BY IT, 

[Captioner] 23:15:28
BECAUSE I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A 

[Captioner] 23:15:29
SUBSTITUTE MOTION.

[Captioner] 23:15:31
>> Mayor Mei:   SURE.

[Captioner] 23:15:31
>> Vice Mayor Campbell:   THAT 

[Captioner] 23:15:33
WE WOULD DOUGH THAT, THAT WE 

[Captioner] 23:15:34
WOULD TAKE A LOOK AT THE 

[Captioner] 23:15:35
PARTICULAR CLAUSE THAT IS 

[Captioner] 23:15:37
CAUSING THE CONFUSION, SEE IF WE 

[Captioner] 23:15:39
CAN GET RID SOME OF THE GRAY 

[Captioner] 23:15:41
AREA IF IT, AND ADD AN 

[Captioner] 23:15:42
ACKNOWLEDGMENT PAGE THAT WE ALL 

[Captioner] 23:15:44
HAVE TO SIGN.

[Captioner] 23:15:45
>> Mayor Mei:   THAT WE CONFIRM 

[Captioner] 23:15:46
THAT WE'VE READ THE HANDBOOK AND 

[Captioner] 23:15:48
WE ARE GOING TO COMPLY.

[Captioner] 23:15:49
>> Vice Mayor Campbell:   AND WE 

[Captioner] 23:15:52
INTEND TO LIVE BY IT, YES.

[Captioner] 23:15:55
RFERREDZ THERE IS AT LEAST --

[Captioner] 23:15:56
>> Cty. Attny. Alvarado:   THERE 

[Captioner] 23:15:57
IS AT LEAST A COUPLE OF 

[Captioner] 23:15:58
QUESTIONS I HEARD IN THE 

[Captioner] 23:15:59
EXCHANGE.

[Captioner] 23:16:02
THE FIRST I WILL ADDRESS IS THE 

[Captioner] 23:16:03
ISSUE OF THE SUBSTITUTE MOTION.

[Captioner] 23:16:06
THAT IS PART OF OUR PROCEDURES, 

[Captioner] 23:16:07
A SUBSTITUTE MOTION IS 

[Captioner] 23:16:09
APPROPRIATE AND THAT WOULD TAKE 

[Captioner] 23:16:10
PRECEDENT OVER THE ORIGINAL 

[Captioner] 23:16:12
MOTION SHOULD IT GET A SECOND.

[Captioner] 23:16:14
IT COULD MOVE FORWARD.

[Captioner] 23:16:18
THIS IS AN AGENDA ITEM THAT IS A 

[Captioner] 23:16:19
REFERRAL, THE NO TO THE PUBLIC 

[Captioner] 23:16:21
THAT WENT OUT HAS A 

[Captioner] 23:16:22
RECOMMENDATION, THE 

[Captioner] 23:16:23
RECOMMENDATION FOR THIS EVENING 

[Captioner] 23:16:26
IS, A REFERRAL REQUESTING THAT 

[Captioner] 23:16:28
THE COUNCIL INITIATE A CENSURE 

[Captioner] 23:16:30
PROCESS BY DIRECTING CITY STAFF 

[Captioner] 23:16:31
TO RETURN TO PROVIDE A SUMMARY 

[Captioner] 23:16:34
OF CENSURE PROCEDURES INCLUDING 

[Captioner] 23:16:35
ANY DUE PROCESS REQUIREMENTS FOR 

[Captioner] 23:16:39
THE CITY COUNCIL'S REVIEW.

[Captioner] 23:16:42
IF THERE'S, ASSUMING THE 

[Captioner] 23:16:43
SUBSTITUTE MOTION DOES NOTE  

[Captioner] 23:16:46
PASS, WHATEVER THAT MAY BE, I 

[Captioner] 23:16:47
WOULD SUGGEST WE COME BACK TO 

[Captioner] 23:16:49
MAYOR MEI TO CLARIFY WHAT HER 

[Captioner] 23:16:53
MOTION IS, BECAUSE IT DEVIATED 

[Captioner] 23:16:54
SOMEWHAT FROM WHAT'S IN THE 

[Captioner] 23:16:56
STAFF REPORT SO I WANT TO MAKE 

[Captioner] 23:16:57
SURE STAFF UNDERSTANDS WHAT HER 

[Captioner] 23:16:58
MOTION IS.

[Captioner] 23:17:00
I WANT TO PIN THAT BECAUSE A 

[Captioner] 23:17:02
SUBSTITUTE MOTION COULD TAKE 

[Captioner] 23:17:02
PRECEDENT OVER THAT.

[Captioner] 23:17:07
SO IS THERE A SUBSTITUTE MOTION?

[Captioner] 23:17:08
>> Vice Mayor Campbell:   DOES 

[Captioner] 23:17:11
THE SUBSTITUTE MOTION HAVE TO BE 

[Captioner] 23:17:12
IN LINE WITH THE MOTION THAT'S 

[Captioner] 23:17:16
THERE, OR CAN I JUST, INSTEAD OF 

[Captioner] 23:17:17
GOING WITH STAFF'S 

[Captioner] 23:17:19
RECOMMENDATION OR THE REFERRAL 

[Captioner] 23:17:21
RECOMMENDATION, MAKE A 

[Captioner] 23:17:23
SUBSTITUTE MOTION THAT WE, 

[Captioner] 23:17:25
INSTEAD OF DOING THIS CENSURE 

[Captioner] 23:17:29
PROCESS, WE WOULD TAKE A LOOK AT 

[Captioner] 23:17:33
THE QUESTIONABLE POSSIBLE AREAS 

[Captioner] 23:17:36
OF VIOLATION AROUND THE 

[Captioner] 23:17:40
PROCLAMATION, AND GET RID OF THE 

[Captioner] 23:17:43
GRAY AREAS?

[Captioner] 23:17:43
>> Cty. Attny. Alvarado:    

[Captioner] 23:17:45
UPDATE THE HANDBOOK.

[Captioner] 23:17:46
>> Vice Mayor Campbell:   THAT 

[Captioner] 23:17:49
PROVISION, THE ALLEGED PROVISION 

[Captioner] 23:17:50
THAT'S IDENTIFIED HERE?

[Captioner] 23:17:54
CLEAN THAT UP, AND THEN ALSO, 

[Captioner] 23:17:57
PUT AN ACKNOWLEDGMENT PAGE ON 

[Captioner] 23:18:00
THE HANDBOOK THAT SAYS, I HAVE 

[Captioner] 23:18:04
READ IT AND I WOULD LIKE TO 

[Captioner] 23:18:06
ACKNOWLEDGE THAT I WILL FOLLOW 

[Captioner] 23:18:09
THE RULES OF THE HANDBOOK?

[Captioner] 23:18:10
>> Cty. Attny. Alvarado:   I 

[Captioner] 23:18:12
THINK IT WOULD BE AN APPROPRIATE 

[Captioner] 23:18:12
SUBSTITUTE MOTION TO DIRECT 

[Captioner] 23:18:15
STAFF TO COME BACK WITH, YOU 

[Captioner] 23:18:17
KNOW, PROPOSED ALTERNATIVE
