[Captioner] 19:16:42 IF WE WERE HAVING THESE TYPES OF [Captioner] 19:16:44 FATALITIES AND INJURIES DUE TO [Captioner] 19:16:45 GUN VIOLENCE, THE WHOLE [Captioner] 19:16:48 COMMUNITY WOULD BE UP IN ARMS, [Captioner] 19:16:49 THEY'D BE ASKING FOR THE [Captioner] 19:16:50 NATIONAL GUARD TO COME IN AND [Captioner] 19:16:51 HELP WITH THIS PROBLEM. [Captioner] 19:16:55 SO THESE NUMBERS ARE HUGE. [Captioner] 19:16:57 IF YOU JUST LOOK AT HOW MANY [Captioner] 19:16:58 FATALITIES WE'VE HAD THIS YEAR [Captioner] 19:17:00 ALONE DUE TO EXCESSIVE [Captioner] 19:17:00 SPEEDING. [Captioner] 19:17:02 SO PLEASE TAKE THIS SERIOUSLY, [Captioner] 19:17:03 AND DO WHAT YOU CAN. [Captioner] 19:17:03 THANK YOU. [Captioner] 19:17:06 >> Ms. Gauthier: THANK YOU. [Captioner] 19:17:11 AFTER LINDA DULANEY IS SALEEM [Captioner] 19:17:12 MASTON. [Captioner] 19:17:17 >> GOOD EVENING, COUNCILMEMBERS [Captioner] 19:17:17 AND MR. MAYOR. [Captioner] 19:17:21 THE NEW PARKING RESTRICTION BILL [Captioner] 19:17:23 AB413 REFERRED TO AS DAYLIGHTING [Captioner] 19:17:25 WHICH PROHIBITS STOPPING, [Captioner] 19:17:27 STANDING OR PARKING OF A VEHICLE [Captioner] 19:17:29 WITHIN 20 FEET OF A VEHICLE [Captioner] 19:17:31 APPROACH SIDE OF ANY MARKED OR [Captioner] 19:17:33 UNMARKED CROSSWALK OR 15 FEET OF [Captioner] 19:17:34 ANY CROSSWALK WHERE A CURB [Captioner] 19:17:36 EXTENSION IS PRESENT, CAN'T PART [Captioner] 19:17:38 CLOSE TO A CROSSWALK BASICALLY, [Captioner] 19:17:39 WILL BE A FABULOUS IMPROVEMENT [Captioner] 19:17:41 FOR PEDESTRIANS, ESPECIALLY FOR [Captioner] 19:17:43 THE 150 OR MORE KIDS I CROSS AS [Captioner] 19:17:45 A CROSSING GUARD IN FRONT OF [Captioner] 19:17:47 BRIER ELEMENTARY SCHOOL EVERY [Captioner] 19:17:48 WEEKDAY MORNING AND AFTERNOON. [Captioner] 19:17:51 HAVING THE ABILITY TO SEE [Captioner] 19:17:53 APPROACHING TRAFFIC AS I [Captioner] 19:17:54 LITERALLY STEP OUT IN THE MIDDLE [Captioner] 19:17:56 OF THE INTERSECTION, THAT WOULD [Captioner] 19:17:56 BE AMAZING. [Captioner] 19:17:59 MAKING IT POSSIBLE FOR DRIVERS [Captioner] 19:18:03 TO ACTUALLY SEE KIDS STANDING ON [Captioner] 19:18:04 THE CORNER, WAITING TO CROSS, [Captioner] 19:18:05 PARTICULARLY DRIVERS WHO ARE [Captioner] 19:18:07 MAKING A RIGHT-HAND TURN ON ONE [Captioner] 19:18:09 OF THOSE TWO INTERSECTION [Captioner] 19:18:10 STREETS WOULD BE A CAUSE FOR [Captioner] 19:18:10 CELEBRATION. [Captioner] 19:18:14 MY CONCERN, HOWEVER, IS HOW IS [Captioner] 19:18:17 THIS FABULOUS, AMAZING, WORTHY [Captioner] 19:18:19 OF CELEBRATION LAW BEING [Captioner] 19:18:19 ENFORCED? [Captioner] 19:18:22 WILL THERE SUDDENLY BE A [Captioner] 19:18:25 PLETHORA OF FREMONT POLICE [Captioner] 19:18:26 PARKING ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS [Captioner] 19:18:28 AVAILABLE TO CRUISE THROUGH OUR [Captioner] 19:18:30 CITY, TICKETING PARKED CARS [Captioner] 19:18:31 CLOSER THAN 20 FEET TO THE [Captioner] 19:18:31 CROSSWALK? [Captioner] 19:18:33 AND BY THE WAY, 20 FEET IS ABOUT [Captioner] 19:18:34 THE LENGTH OF AN AVERAGE CAR. [Captioner] 19:18:35 AND I CAN TELL YOU THAT IN THE [Captioner] 19:18:37 PAST YEAR, THERE'S RARELY A TIME [Captioner] 19:18:39 WHEN A CAR IS NOT PARKED IN THAT [Captioner] 19:18:39 SPACE. [Captioner] 19:18:41 I WAS HOPEFUL THAT SIGNS WOULD [Captioner] 19:18:43 BE POSTED NEAR THE [Captioner] 19:18:44 INTERSECTIONS, PARTICULARLY IN [Captioner] 19:18:46 FRONT OF OUR SCHOOLS, BUT THAT'S [Captioner] 19:18:46 NOT GOING TO HAPPEN. [Captioner] 19:18:51 SO WITH NO SIGNS, THE LIKELIHOOD [Captioner] 19:18:53 OF FREMONT HAVING ADDITIONAL [Captioner] 19:18:55 FUNDS TO SPEND ON INCREASING [Captioner] 19:18:57 PARKING ENFORCEMENT, I SEE THIS [Captioner] 19:18:57 AS ALMOST A NON-EVENT. [Captioner] 19:18:59 PERHAPS THE CITY AND POLICE [Captioner] 19:19:01 DEPARTMENT COULD WORK WITH OUR [Captioner] 19:19:04 SCHOOLS TO COMMUNICATE DIRECTLY [Captioner] 19:19:06 WITH PARENTS IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD [Captioner] 19:19:07 TO INCREASE SAFETY BECAUSE THAT [Captioner] 19:19:08 IS THE ULTIMATE GOAL, RIGHT? [Captioner] 19:19:08 THANK YOU. [Captioner] 19:19:14 >> Ms. Gauthier: SALIM FOLLOWED [Captioner] 19:19:15 BY BRIE. [Captioner] 19:19:17 >> GOOD EVENING, MAYOR, CITY [Captioner] 19:19:17 COUNCILMEMBERS.

[Captioner] 19:19:50 WE NEED TO REDOUBLE OUR EFFORTS [Captioner] 19:19:51 TO MAINTAIN THAT STATUS. [Captioner] 19:19:54 TODAY ALL OF THE CITY COUNCIL, [Captioner] 19:19:56 ALL OF THE STAFF, THE HEADS OF [Captioner] 19:19:57 THE STAFF ARE THERE. [Captioner] 19:20:00 I REALLY APPRECIATE THAT, ALL OF [Captioner] 19:20:00 YOU COMING HERE. [Captioner] 19:20:02 BECAUSE THIS IS IMPORTANT. [Captioner] 19:20:09 OUR CITY NEEDS TO [Captioner] 19:20:11 UNDERSTAND THAT BEING SUCH A [Captioner] 19:20:13 DIVERSE CITY, WE HAVE SHORTAGE [Captioner] 19:20:16 OF SCHOOLS, WE HAVE TWO CARS [Captioner] 19:20:20 PARKED, POLICE CARS PARKED ON [Captioner] 19:20:21 AUTOMALL IN WHICH THERE'S NO COP [Captioner] 19:20:24 SITTING IT AND MY GRANDDAUGHTER [Captioner] 19:20:25 SAYS WHY ARE THESE CARS HERE? [Captioner] 19:20:26 I SAID FOR DISEURT. [Captioner] 19:20:27 SECURITY. [Captioner] 19:20:29 WHERE ARE THE COPS? [Captioner] 19:20:31 THEY ARE IN THERE EATING. [Captioner] 19:20:33 SO I WOULD LIKE THEM TO BE [Captioner] 19:20:34 MANNED BY PEOPLE WHO ARE THERE [Captioner] 19:20:38 TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE [Captioner] 19:20:40 VIGILANT, WE ARE THERE, WE ARE [Captioner] 19:20:43 TRYING TO MAKE THINGS EASIER. [Captioner] 19:20:46 THEY'RE SHORT STAFFED, WE SHOULD [Captioner] 19:20:48 BE SURE THAT WE GET THE PEOPLE, [Captioner] 19:20:51 AND MOST IMPORTANT, WE NEED MORE [Captioner] 19:20:51 SCHOOLS. [Captioner] 19:20:55 AND WE NEED [Captioner] 19:20:58 THESE OLD SHOPPING CENTERS TORN [Captioner] 19:20:59 DOWN, NEW MALLS BEING BUILT SO [Captioner] 19:21:01 THAT FREMONT IS NOT A [Captioner] 19:21:03 PASS-THROUGH CITY WHERE PEOPLE [Captioner] 19:21:05 COME HERE, VISIT, SPEND THEIR [Captioner] 19:21:06 MONEY, GO TO OUR RESTAURANTS, [Captioner] 19:21:09 ENJOY THEMSELVES, AND I HOPE AND [Captioner] 19:21:13 I HOPE AND PRAY THAT YOU WILL [Captioner] 19:21:15 BE ON TOP OF EVERYTHING THAT IS [Captioner] 19:21:15 FREMONT. [Captioner] 19:21:16 GOD BLESS YOU. [Captioner] 19:21:16 THANK YOU. [Captioner] 19:21:25 >> GOOD EVENING. [Captioner] 19:21:29 MY NAME IS BRIE SIONI AND I'M [Captioner] 19:21:30 HERE TO ASK CITY COUNCIL TO [Captioner] 19:21:34 CONSIDER THE REZONING OF [Captioner] 19:21:35 PROPERTY 37161 NILES BOULEVARD [Captioner] 19:21:36 IN THE NILES DISTRICT. [Captioner] 19:21:40 I'M ALMOST A LIFELONG RESIDENT [Captioner] 19:21:43 OF FREMONT, SAVE A SHORT HIATUS [Captioner] 19:21:45 IN LATIN AMERICA, AND HAD THE [Captioner] 19:21:47 PRIVILEGE OF GROWING UP IN THE [Captioner] 19:21:48 VIBRANT NILES DISTRICT AND NOW [Captioner] 19:21:49 RESIDE IN GLENMOOR. [Captioner] 19:21:52 IN THE 80s AND 90s, ME AND MY [Captioner] 19:21:54 BLUE BMX BIKE NAMED BRIAN USED [Captioner] 19:21:57 TO CRUISE THROUGH DOWNTOWN BUT [Captioner] 19:22:00 SAW MORE LIQUOR STORES AND BARS [Captioner] 19:22:00 THAN ANTIQUE SHOPS. [Captioner] 19:22:02 NOW THANKFULLY TIMES HAVE [Captioner] 19:22:04 CHANGED, AND CITY COUNCIL HAS [Captioner] 19:22:06 THE OPPORTUNITY TO BUILD ON THE [Captioner] 19:22:07 WORK THAT'S BEEN DONE IN THOSE [Captioner] 19:22:08 DECADES. [Captioner] 19:22:10 AND TO CONTINUE ON THE PATH OF A [Captioner] 19:22:13 SAFER, MORE FAMILY AND SMALL [Captioner] 19:22:13 BUSINESS-FRIENDLY ENVIRONMENT. [Captioner] 19:22:15 THERE'S SOMETHING VERY FUNNY [Captioner] 19:22:16 ABOUT THE WAY THAT THIS [Captioner] 19:22:19 PARTICULAR PROPERTY IS ZONED. [Captioner] 19:22:22 IT IS ZONED FOR FITNESS BUT DOES [Captioner] 19:22:22 NOT INCLUDE DANCE. [Captioner] 19:22:25 AND WHAT WE'RE ASKING IS FOR A [Captioner] 19:22:27 DANCE STUDIO TO BE INCLUDED IN [Captioner] 19:22:28 THAT FITNESS ZONING. [Captioner] 19:22:31 THE REASON BEING IS IT WOULD [Captioner] 19:22:34 PAVE A WAY FOR DANCE AND FITNESS [Captioner] 19:22:35 STUDIO DEDICATED SPACE WHICH FOR [Captioner] 19:22:37 THOSE THAT ARE FAMILIAR, IT'S [Captioner] 19:22:40 ADJACENT TO MR. MIKEY'S MARKET [Captioner] 19:22:42 WHERE I GET MY TAMALES ON [Captioner] 19:22:44 SATURDAY, DON'T SLEEP ON IT, [Captioner] 19:22:46 WHICH WOULD REALLY HELP THE [Captioner] 19:22:47 PHYSICAL AND MENTAL WELL-BEING [Captioner] 19:22:48 OF OUR CITY'S YOUTH AND [Captioner] 19:22:48 FAMILIES. [Captioner] 19:22:51 THE SMALL WIS WOULD BREATHE NEW [Captioner] 19:22:53 LIFE INTO DOWNTOWN, BOOSTING [Captioner] 19:22:54 FOOT TRAFFIC DURING THE WEEK AND [Captioner] 19:22:57 AFTERNOONS AND EVENING, BRINGING [Captioner] 19:22:58 MORE CUSTOMERS TO LOCAL FOOD [Captioner] 19:22:59 SPOTS AND ALSO HELPING THE ARTS [Captioner] 19:23:01 IN THE DOWNTOWN AREA, THE [Captioner] 19:23:02 DOWNTOWN NILES AREA. [Captioner] 19:23:04 WE ALSO THINK THAT IT WOULD [Captioner] 19:23:08 BRING MORE LIFE TO THE LOCAL [Captioner] 19:23:10 NILES ASSOCIATION FESTIVALS, IF [Captioner] 19:23:11 YOU'VE BEEN DOWN TO THOSE, [Captioner] 19:23:13 THEY'RE GREAT FUN, AND IT WOULD [Captioner] 19:23:14 BE VERY AKIN AND COMPLEMENTARY [Captioner] 19:23:17 TO THE MARTIAL ARTS STUDIO THAT [Captioner] 19:23:18 ALREADY EXISTS RIGHT DOWN THE [Captioner] 19:23:18 STREET. [Captioner] 19:23:21 IT SEEMS TO BE A STRANGE [Captioner] 19:23:22 TECHNICALITY, AND WE THANK YOU [Captioner] 19:23:23 FOR REVIEWING THAT. [Captioner] 19:23:29 >> Ms. Gauthier: THAT WAS THE [Captioner] 19:23:30 LAST SPEAKER. [Captioner] 19:23:31 >> Mayor Salwan: THAT CONCLUDES [Captioner] 19:23:31 ORAL COMMUNICATION.

[Captioner] 19:24:20 >> THANK YOU, COUNCILMEMBER [Captioner] 19:24:20 KIMBERLIN, FOR THAT QUESTION.

[Captioner] 19:28:43 THERE IS AN EFFORT TO TRY TO [Captioner] 19:28:44 TIGHTEN UP THE SIZE OF [Captioner] 19:28:46 INTERSECTIONS THAT SERVES TO [Captioner] 19:28:48 REDUCE THE CROSSING DISTANCE FOR [Captioner] 19:28:51 PEDESTRIANS, BUT IN MANY PLACES, [Captioner] 19:28:53 THE INTERSECTIONS ARE DESIGNED [Captioner] 19:28:57 WITH REALLY WIDE, SWEEPING [Captioner] 19:28:58 TURNS, AND IT CREATES A [Captioner] 19:28:59 SITUATION WHERE PEOPLE ARE [Captioner] 19:29:02 TAKING THE RIGHT TURN AT A HIGH [Captioner] 19:29:05 SPEED, AND THERE'S A LOT OF [Captioner] 19:29:08 EVIDENCE OF CRASHES AND ISSUES [Captioner] 19:29:09 WITH HIGH SPEED MOVEMENTS AT THE [Captioner] 19:29:09 INTERSECTION. [Captioner] 19:29:13 SO THERE'S AN EFFORT TO TIGHTEN [Captioner] 19:29:16 THE INTERSECTIONS, AND THERE'S A [Captioner] 19:29:18 TERM THAT'S USED AS PROTECTED [Captioner] 19:29:20 INTERSECTION, WHICH IS KIND OF [Captioner] 19:29:22 THE DESIGN TECHNIQUE THAT [Captioner] 19:29:24 ACTUALLY BRINGS THE BICYCLIST UP [Captioner] 19:29:26 TO THE RAISE THE INTERSECTION IN [Captioner] 19:29:28 MORE OF A SHARED SPACE WITH [Captioner] 19:29:31 PEDESTRIANS AS OPPOSED TO HAVE [Captioner] 19:29:34 BICYCLISTS SHARING THE STREET [Captioner] 19:29:34 WITH VEHICLES. [Captioner] 19:29:37 AND LOTS OF STUDIES AND EVIDENCE [Captioner] 19:29:40 SHOWS THAT MORE PEOPLE WILL [Captioner] 19:29:44 BICYCLE IN MORE OF A TRAIL OR [Captioner] 19:29:44 SIDEWALK-TYPE ENVIRONMENT THAN [Captioner] 19:29:47 THEY WOULD IF THEY'RE TRAVELING [Captioner] 19:29:47 ON THE STREET. [Captioner] 19:29:49 SO THOSE ARE WHAT WE'RE TRYING [Captioner] 19:29:49 TO ACHIEVE. [Captioner] 19:29:54 SO IN TERMS OF THE RIGHT TERM [Captioner] 19:29:54 ELIMINATION, THERE'S A COUPLE OF [Captioner] 19:29:55 KIND OF ELEMENTS TO IT. [Captioner] 19:29:58 THERE'S SOME OLDER INTERSECTIONS [Captioner] 19:30:02 HAVE WHAT'S CALLED A SLIP LANE, [Captioner] 19:30:04 WHERE THERE IS A SMALL ISLAND [Captioner] 19:30:07 THAT PEDESTRIANS HAVE TO COME [Captioner] 19:30:09 OUT TO AND THEN RIGHT TURNING [Captioner] 19:30:10 TRAFFIC CAN MOVE AT A HIGH SPEED [Captioner] 19:30:10 BEHIND THEM. [Captioner] 19:30:14 WHAT WE FIND IN AREAS, [Captioner] 19:30:16 PARTICULARLY AROUND SCHOOLS, OR [Captioner] 19:30:20 IN AREAS WHERE WE'RE [Captioner] 19:30:21 INTENSIFYING DEVELOPMENT AND [Captioner] 19:30:23 EXPECTING MORE PEOPLE TO WALK [Captioner] 19:30:25 AND BIKE, IS THOSE ISLANDS ARE [Captioner] 19:30:27 WAY TOO SMALL TO ACCOMMODATE -- [Captioner] 19:30:29 SAFELY ACCOMMODATE PEOPLE THERE, [Captioner] 19:30:32 AND SO THERE'S AN EFFORT TO TRY [Captioner] 19:30:34 TO -- TO ELIMINATE THE SLIP [Captioner] 19:30:35 LANES AS PART OF WHAT IS [Captioner] 19:30:37 CONSIDERED A BEST PRACTICE [Captioner] 19:30:37 DESIGN. [Captioner] 19:30:42 NOW, THAT IS DISTINCT [Captioner] 19:30:45 FROM THE ISSUE, AND WHAT WE'VE [Captioner] 19:30:47 HEARD IS A CONCERN AND WE AGREE [Captioner] 19:30:50 IS A CONCERN IS IF YOU DON'T [Captioner] 19:30:54 HAVE A LANE FOR CARS [Captioner] 19:30:57 TO MAKE A RIGHT TURN MOVEMENT, [Captioner] 19:30:59 IF THOSE ARE ELIMINATED AND [Captioner] 19:31:03 THERE HAVE BEEN SOME CASES WHERE [Captioner] 19:31:04 THAT'S BEEN DONE, AND I THINK [Captioner] 19:31:05 THAT THERE'S BEEN SOME PAST [Captioner] 19:31:07 EFFORTS AND I THINK PROBABLY [Captioner] 19:31:09 NAMELY THE INTERSECTION OF [Captioner] 19:31:11 FREMONT AND MOWRY IS AN EXAMPLE [Captioner] 19:31:15 WHERE RIGHT TURN LANES HAVE BEEN [Captioner] 19:31:16 ELIMINATED IN THE INTEREST TO [Captioner] 19:31:20 TIGHTEN UP THE INTERSECTION, BUT [Captioner] 19:31:22 IT HAS CREATED VERY SIGNIFICANT [Captioner] 19:31:25 CONCERNS WITH TRAFFIC BACKING UP [Captioner] 19:31:25 AT THAT LOCATION. [Captioner] 19:31:28 SO WE'VE LEARNED QUITE A BIT [Captioner] 19:31:30 FROM SORT OF THE PAST PRACTICE [Captioner] 19:31:34 ON WHAT WORKS AND DOESN'T WORK, [Captioner] 19:31:37 AND SO WE FEEL THERE'S BENEFIT [Captioner] 19:31:39 OF ELIMINATING THE SLIP LANE TO [Captioner] 19:31:40 REDUCE THE SPEED, BUT IN AREAS [Captioner] 19:31:45 WHERE THERE'S HIGH VOLUMES OF [Captioner] 19:31:46 TURNING MOVEMENTS, THERE IS [Captioner] 19:31:48 BENEFIT OF HAVING A DEDICATED [Captioner] 19:31:54 RIGHT TURN LANE THERE, AND WE [Captioner] 19:31:54 CAN ACCOMPLISH THAT TOGETHER [Captioner] 19:31:56 WITH SOME OF THE OTHER BICYCLE [Captioner] 19:31:58 AND PEDESTRIAN BENEFITS. [Captioner] 19:32:00 SO I THINK TO KIND OF ANSWER THE [Captioner] 19:32:05 QUESTION ABOUT DOES THIS PROJECT [Captioner] 19:32:07 CREATE ANY ISSUES THERE, I THINK [Captioner] 19:32:09 PROBABLY THE BIGGEST [Captioner] 19:32:10 INTERSECTION THAT'S BEING [Captioner] 19:32:13 TIGHTENED IS FREMONT AND [Captioner] 19:32:16 THORNTON, AND AT THE HEAVY RIGHT [Captioner] 19:32:18 TURN MOVEMENTS, WE ARE RETAINING [Captioner] 19:32:21 A RIGHT TURN LANE AT THOSE [Captioner] 19:32:23 LOCATIONS SO THAT WE STRIKE KIND [Captioner] 19:32:26 OF THE GOOD BALANCE BETWEEN [Captioner] 19:32:28 ACCOMMODATING VEHICLE FLOW, BUT [Captioner] 19:32:29 ALSO MAKING THINGS BETTER FOR [Captioner] 19:32:30 WALKING AND BIKING. [Captioner] 19:32:33 AND I THINK -- I DON'T THINK I [Captioner] 19:32:36 MENTIONED IT, BUT WE DO HAVE A [Captioner] 19:32:38 PROJECT TO ACTUALLY GO BACK AND [Captioner] 19:32:39 RETROFIT FREMONT AND MOWRY TO [Captioner] 19:32:43 ADD BACK A RIGHT TURN LANE, IN [Captioner] 19:32:45 PARTICULARLY THE HEAVY MOVEMENT [Captioner] 19:32:48 FROM SOUTHBOUND FREMONT TO [Captioner] 19:32:48 WESTBOUND MOWRY. [Captioner] 19:32:50 SO THERE'S A LOT OF BACKUP [Captioner] 19:32:51 THERE, SO WE THINK THAT WILL [Captioner] 19:32:52 IMPROVE THINGS. [Captioner] 19:32:57 I'D LIKE NOE TO TALK ABOUT TWO [Captioner] 19:32:58 OTHER THINGS WE'RE DOING TO [Captioner] 19:33:01 CREATE SORT OF A GOOD BALANCE [Captioner] 19:33:02 TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM FOR ALL [Captioner] 19:33:06 MODES, AND THAT IS A FOCUS OF [Captioner] 19:33:07 MODERNIZING OUR TRAFFIC SIGNAL [Captioner] 19:33:10 SYSTEMS, AND THIS PROJECT [Captioner] 19:33:12 INCLUDES INVESTMENTS TO UPGRADE [Captioner] 19:33:14 OLD TRAFFIC SYSTEMS TO BE MODERN [Captioner] 19:33:16 AND NOE WILL EXPLAIN SOME OF THE [Captioner] 19:33:18 BENEFITS THAT WE GET FROM THAT. [Captioner] 19:33:21 >> THANK YOU SO MUCH, [Captioner] 19:33:23 COUNCILMEMBER LIU, FOR THE [Captioner] 19:33:23 QUESTION. [Captioner] 19:33:28 AND SO JUST TO KIND OF GET BACK [Captioner] 19:33:29 AGAIN TO YOUR QUESTION, WE HAVE [Captioner] 19:33:31 HEARD THE CONCERNS FROM THE [Captioner] 19:33:33 COMMUNITY, AND WE ARE STRIVING [Captioner] 19:33:34 TO STRIKE A BALANCE WITH ALL [Captioner] 19:33:36 FUTURE PROJECTS. [Captioner] 19:33:39 AS HANS HAS MENTIONED HERE, AS [Captioner] 19:33:43 WE ATTEMPT TO PROVIDE ENHANCE [Captioner] 19:33:44 BICYCLE AND PEDESTRIAN [Captioner] 19:33:46 FACILITIES THROUGHOUT THE [Captioner] 19:33:48 PROJECT CORRIDOR, WE ARE ALSO [Captioner] 19:33:50 AWARE OF THE HIGH DEMAND RIGHT [Captioner] 19:33:51 TURN MOVEMENTS THROUGHOUT THE [Captioner] 19:33:51 CORRIDOR. [Captioner] 19:33:53 AS HANS MENTIONED, WE ARE [Captioner] 19:33:56 RETAINING THE HIGHEST DEMAND [Captioner] 19:33:58 MOVEMENTS ON THE PROJECT, SO [Captioner] 19:33:58 SOUTHBOUND FREMONT AT THE [Captioner] 19:34:00 INTERSECTION AT THORNTON, WE ARE [Captioner] 19:34:02 RETAINING, AS WELL AS EASTBOUND [Captioner] 19:34:06 THORNTON AT FREMONT TO [Captioner] 19:34:07 SOUTHBOUND FREMONT, WE ARE ALSO [Captioner] 19:34:08 RETAINING FOR THAT PURPOSE. [Captioner] 19:34:11 SO WE UNDERSTAND THE CONCERNS IN [Captioner] 19:34:14 THE COMMUNITY, AND SO AS WE [Captioner] 19:34:16 IMPROVE BICYCLE AND PEDESTRIAN [Captioner] 19:34:18 FACILITIES, WE STILL WANT TO [Captioner] 19:34:21 IMPROVE THE MOTORIST EXPERIENCE [Captioner] 19:34:21 THROUGHOUT OUR CORRIDOR. [Captioner] 19:34:23 SO AS HANS MENTIONED, IN [Captioner] 19:34:26 ADDITION TO RETAINING RIGHT TURN [Captioner] 19:34:28 POCKETS WHERE WE CAN, WE'RE ALSO [Captioner] 19:34:31 IMPLEMENTING A CITY-WIDE SIGNAL [Captioner] 19:34:31 COORDINATION PROJECT. [Captioner] 19:34:35 WHAT THIS IS DOING AS EVIDENCED [Captioner] 19:34:37 BY A LOT OF OUR STAFF DURING [Captioner] 19:34:42 FIELD REVIEWS, IT'S REALLY [Captioner] 19:34:44 REDUCING TRAVEL TIMES FOR [Captioner] 19:34:45 MOTORISTS, WHAT WE ARE STRIVING [Captioner] 19:34:47 TO DO IS ENSURE THAT MOTORISTS [Captioner] 19:34:48 ARRIVE AT AN INTERSECTION WITH A [Captioner] 19:34:50 GREEN LIGHT AS OPPOSED TO A RED [Captioner] 19:34:50 LIGHT. [Captioner] 19:34:54 WHAT THIS WILL DO IS ENSURE THAT [Captioner] 19:34:56 THERE'S REDUCED DELAY AT THESE [Captioner] 19:34:57 INTERSECTIONS, AND THEN WHAT [Captioner] 19:34:59 WE'RE ALSO SEEING BASED OFF OF [Captioner] 19:35:01 OUR OWN USER EXPERIENCE IS WE'RE [Captioner] 19:35:03 SEEING A SIGNIFICANT DELAY IN [Captioner] 19:35:03 TRAFFIC TIMES THROUGHOUT THE [Captioner] 19:35:04 CITY OF FREMONT. [Captioner] 19:35:08 SO THAT COUPLED WITH THE FACT [Captioner] 19:35:12 THAT WE ARE TRYING TO RETAIN AS [Captioner] 19:35:13 MANY HEAVY DEMAND RIGHT TURN [Captioner] 19:35:16 MOVEMENTS AS WE CAN, WE FEEL AS [Captioner] 19:35:17 THOUGH WE'RE STRIVING THAT [Captioner] 19:35:18 BALANCE THAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR [Captioner] 19:35:20 WITH THESE COMPLETE STREETS [Captioner] 19:35:20 PROJECTS. [Captioner] 19:35:23 >> City Mgr. Shackelford: AND [Captioner] 19:35:26 YOU MAY HAVE NOTICED SOME OF [Captioner] 19:35:28 THAT MORE SYNCHRONIZED MOVEMENT [Captioner] 19:35:30 ON FREMONT BOULEVARD WITH THE [Captioner] 19:35:32 WORK THAT OUR PUBLIC WORKS [Captioner] 19:35:35 DEPARTMENT HAS DONE IN TERMS OF [Captioner] 19:35:36 SYNCHRONIZING THE SIGNALS TO [Captioner] 19:35:37 IMPROVE THE TRAFFIC FLOW. [Captioner] 19:35:40 I'M SURE MOST OF YOU PROBABLY [Captioner] 19:35:42 KNOW THAT IF YOU'RE LIKE ME, [Captioner] 19:35:46 PASEO PADRE USED TO BE THE [Captioner] 19:35:49 PREFERRED ROAD OF TRAVEL, BUT [Captioner] 19:35:51 FREMONT BOULEVARD WITH THE [Captioner] 19:35:52 SIGNALIZED -- SYNCHRONIZED [Captioner] 19:35:55 SIGNALS NOW OFFERS THAT SAME [Captioner] 19:35:56 TYPE OF SEAMLESS MOVEMENT. [Captioner] 19:35:58 SO JUST WANTED TO GIVE A NOD TO [Captioner] 19:35:59 THE PUBLIC WORKS STAFF FOR THE [Captioner] 19:36:00 WONDERFUL WORK THAT THEY DID [Captioner] 19:36:01 WITH THAT. [Captioner] 19:36:03 AND IT SOUNDS LIKE THERE'S MORE [Captioner] 19:36:03 TO COME. [Captioner] 19:36:07 >> Councilmember Liu: SO JUST TO [Captioner] 19:36:08 CLARIFY, THERE'S NOT GOING TO BE [Captioner] 19:36:10 ANY RIGHT TURN LANES ELIMINATED [Captioner] 19:36:11 OR IS THERE STILL GOING TO BE [Captioner] 19:36:14 SOME RIGHT TURN LANES ELIMINATED [Captioner] 19:36:16 JUST NOT THE ONES WITH THE MOST [Captioner] 19:36:17 AMOUNT OF TRAFFIC? [Captioner] 19:36:18 BECAUSE MY MAIN CONCERN REALLY [Captioner] 19:36:20 IS THE RIGHT TURN LANES AND [Captioner] 19:36:20 CONGESTION. [Captioner] 19:36:22 I AGREE WITH LIKE MOSTLY [Captioner] 19:36:23 EVERYTHING ELSE ON HERE, YOU [Captioner] 19:36:25 KNOW, I AGREE TOUCHLESS [Captioner] 19:36:28 PEDESTRIAN PUSHBUTTONS, HIGH [Captioner] 19:36:29 VISIBILITY CROSSWALKS, THOSE ARE [Captioner] 19:36:31 ALL THINGS I SUPPORT BUT FOR ME, [Captioner] 19:36:33 IT'S REALLY THE RIGHT TURN LANES [Captioner] 19:36:34 GETTING RID. [Captioner] 19:36:36 SO ARE RIGHT TURN LANES GOING TO [Captioner] 19:36:39 BE GOTTEN RID OF OR ONLY RIGHT [Captioner] 19:36:41 TURN LANES YOU'RE GETTING RID OF [Captioner] 19:36:44 ARE THE NOT THE ONES WITH THE [Captioner] 19:36:45 MOST TRAFFIC? [Captioner] 19:36:48 >> AS PART OF THE PROJECT DESIGN [Captioner] 19:36:50 PROCESS, WE DID DO AN [Captioner] 19:36:50 INTERSECTION ANALYSIS AT FREMONT [Captioner] 19:36:52 AND THORNTON. [Captioner] 19:36:56 WHAT WE DID FIND OUT THROUGH OUR [Captioner] 19:36:58 SIGNAL KIND OF MODELING PROCESS [Captioner] 19:37:01 IS THAT THE WESTBOUND THORNTON [Captioner] 19:37:03 RIGHT TURN LANE HAD A VERY LOW [Captioner] 19:37:03 VOLUME. [Captioner] 19:37:06 AND WE COULD REMOVE THAT RIGHT [Captioner] 19:37:09 TURN POCKET AND IT DID NOT HAVE [Captioner] 19:37:12 ANY ADVERSE EFFECTS ON THE [Captioner] 19:37:14 WESTBOUND MOVEMENT, BUT ALLOW US [Captioner] 19:37:16 TO REALLY IMPROVE THE BICYCLE [Captioner] 19:37:17 AND PEDESTRIAN FACILITIES ON [Captioner] 19:37:18 THAT CORNER OF THE [Captioner] 19:37:18 INTERSECTION. [Captioner] 19:37:20 SO WE ARE RETAINING, AGAIN, THE [Captioner] 19:37:22 HIGH DEMAND LOCATIONS WHERE WE [Captioner] 19:37:24 FEEL AS THOUGH IF REMOVED HAVE [Captioner] 19:37:26 SIGNIFICANT IMPACTS TO THE [Captioner] 19:37:27 VEHICLE EXPERIENCE AND THE [Captioner] 19:37:28 MOTORIST EXPERIENCE AT THAT [Captioner] 19:37:28 INTERSECTION. [Captioner] 19:37:31 AND LOOKING AT OPPORTUNITIES [Captioner] 19:37:32 WHERE IT DOESN'T PROVIDE THAT [Captioner] 19:37:35 LEVEL OF IMPACT AND ALLOW US TO [Captioner] 19:37:36 PROVIDE ENHANCED BICYCLE AND [Captioner] 19:37:37 PEDESTRIAN FACILITIES. [Captioner] 19:37:39 >> Councilmember Liu: SO OFF THE [Captioner] 19:37:40 TOP OF YOUR HEAD, DO YOU KNOW [Captioner] 19:37:42 HOW MANY RIGHT TURN LANES ARE [Captioner] 19:37:44 BEING ELIMINATED THEN OR LIKE [Captioner] 19:37:44 -- [Captioner] 19:37:45 >> ON THIS PROJECT SPECIFICALLY, [Captioner] 19:37:46 JUST THAT ONE. [Captioner] 19:37:47 >> Councilmember Liu: JUST THAT [Captioner] 19:37:47 ONE? [Captioner] 19:37:48 OKAY. [Captioner] 19:37:49 >> Vice Mayor Campbell: OKAY, [Captioner] 19:37:50 THANK YOU. [Captioner] 19:37:50 THANK YOU. [Captioner] 19:37:55 DO WE HAVE ANY SPEAKERS ON THIS [Captioner] 19:37:56 ITEM? [Captioner] 19:37:58 NO? [Captioner] 19:38:00 DOES THE COUNCIL HAVE ANY [Captioner] 19:38:00 ADDITIONAL COMMENTS OR [Captioner] 19:38:00 QUESTIONS? [Captioner] 19:38:02 >> Councilmember Liu: I HAVE NO [Captioner] 19:38:02 FURTHER QUESTIONS. [Captioner] 19:38:03 >> Vice Mayor Campbell: THANK [Captioner] 19:38:04 YOU SO MUCH. [Captioner] 19:38:05 COUNCILMEMBER KIMBERLIN? [Captioner] 19:38:08 >> Councilmember Kimberlin: [Captioner] 19:38:08 OKAY. [Captioner] 19:38:10 SINCE WE DID BRING THE TOPIC UP [Captioner] 19:38:12 TO TALK, I JUST WANTED TO [Captioner] 19:38:13 CLARIFY SOMETHING ON SOME OF THE [Captioner] 19:38:16 DRAFTS FROM 2020 WHICH SHOW THE [Captioner] 19:38:17 POP-UP PATIOS AND ONE LANE IN [Captioner] 19:38:20 SOME AREAS AND I KNOW THAT THE [Captioner] 19:38:22 COMMUNITY REALLY DID NOT LOVE [Captioner] 19:38:23 ONE LANE AREAS SO THAT WAS AN [Captioner] 19:38:25 OLD DRAFT SO THAT'S JUST [Captioner] 19:38:27 CONSIDERED AN OLD DRAFT, WE'RE [Captioner] 19:38:28 NOT RECOMMENDING THAT IT'S ONE [Captioner] 19:38:30 LANE IN SOME AREAS ON FREMONT [Captioner] 19:38:32 BOULEVARD IN THAT CENTERVILLE [Captioner] 19:38:33 STREETS AREA, CORRECT? [Captioner] 19:38:33 >> THAT'S CORRECT. [Captioner] 19:38:35 >> Councilmember Kimberlin: [Captioner] 19:38:35 OKAY, PERFECT. [Captioner] 19:38:35 THANK YOU. [Captioner] 19:38:37 >> Vice Mayor Campbell: OKAY. [Captioner] 19:38:41 SEEING NO ADDITIONAL COMMENTS, [Captioner] 19:38:43 DOES COUNCILMEMBER SHAO HAVE [Captioner] 19:38:43 ANYTHING ONLINE?

[Captioner] 19:39:20 WE ACTUALLY TRIED TO PROVIDE [Captioner] 19:39:21 SAFETY AND CONVENIENCE AND TRIED [Captioner] 19:39:25 TO STRIKE A BALANCE IN BETWEEN, [Captioner] 19:39:29 AND BASED ON THE DATA THAT [Captioner] 19:39:30 THE DEPARTMENT COLLECTS, I [Captioner] 19:39:33 BELIEVE THAT THE DEPARTMENT WILL [Captioner] 19:39:37 NOT USE [Captioner] 19:39:41 COOKIE CUTTERS AND -- ALL THE [Captioner] 19:39:42 RIGHT TURN LANES IN THE CITY, [Captioner] 19:39:44 RATHER TRY TO DO THE STUDY, [Captioner] 19:39:45 COLLECT DATA AND THEN MAKE [Captioner] 19:39:46 DECISIONS BASED ON DATA. [Captioner] 19:39:52 THIS MAY ACTUALLY EXPAND [Captioner] 19:39:57 NOT ONLY LIMITED TO [Captioner] 19:40:00 THAT SPECIFIC INTERSECTION, FOR [Captioner] 19:40:01 INTERSECTIONS IN MY [Captioner] 19:40:03 NEIGHBORHOOD, FOR EXAMPLE, [Captioner] 19:40:05 WASHINGTON AND DRISCOLL, YOU [Captioner] 19:40:09 KNOW, I ALSO SAW A LARGE VOLUME [Captioner] 19:40:13 OF TRAFFIC AND A BIG DELAY FOR [Captioner] 19:40:15 THE RIGHT TURN.

[Captioner] 19:42:40 >> Ms. Gauthier: I BELIEVE YOU [Captioner] 19:42:40 SAID THAT. [Captioner] 19:42:41 >> Vice Mayor Campbell: I [Captioner] 19:42:41 THOUGHT I SAID THAT. [Captioner] 19:42:42 OKAY. [Captioner] 19:42:44 I MAY HAVE BEEN WRONG, BUT I'M [Captioner] 19:42:44 JUST GOING TO CLARIFY. [Captioner] 19:42:47 HE HAS RECUSED HIMSELF FROM THIS [Captioner] 19:42:47 ITEM. [Captioner] 19:43:37 >> Cty. Attny. Alvarado: VICE [Captioner] 19:43:38 MAYOR CAMPBELL, AS WE WAIT, IF [Captioner] 19:43:39 ULTIMATELY THE COUNCIL DECIDES [Captioner] 19:43:44 TO MOVE THIS ITEM FORWARD, I'LL [Captioner] 19:43:45 BE REQUIRED TO READ THE TITLE [Captioner] 19:43:46 INTO THE RECORD AT THE [Captioner] 19:43:50 CONCLUSION OF THE ITEM, FRIENDLY [Captioner] 19:43:50 REMINDER. [Captioner] 19:43:53 >> GOOD EVENING, VICE MAYOR [Captioner] 19:43:54 CAMPBELL, MEMBERS OF THE CITY [Captioner] 19:43:54 COUNCIL. [Captioner] 19:44:09 STAFF IS PROPOSING AN UPDATE TO [Captioner] 19:44:11 A TOTAL OF 22 SECTIONS OF THE [Captioner] 19:44:12 FREMONT MUNICIPAL CODE TONIGHT. [Captioner] 19:44:16 THIS IS SOMETHING THAT STAFF [Captioner] 19:44:17 PERIODICALLY PROPOSES. [Captioner] 19:44:19 IT WAS LAST PRESENTED -- THE [Captioner] 19:44:21 LAST BATCH OF CODE UPDATES WERE [Captioner] 19:44:22 PRESENTED TO THE CITY COUNCIL [Captioner] 19:44:23 LAST YEAR, AND THEY WERE ADOPTED [Captioner] 19:44:25 ON DECEMBER 5TH, 2023. [Captioner] 19:44:28 THERE WERE A FEW REASONS WHY [Captioner] 19:44:30 STAFF ARE PROPOSING THESE CODE [Captioner] 19:44:30 UPDATE TONIGHT. [Captioner] 19:44:33 THE FIRST IS TO IMPLEMENT THE [Captioner] 19:44:33 HOUSING ELEMENT. [Captioner] 19:44:35 THE HOUSING ELEMENT IS A [Captioner] 19:44:36 REQUIRED ELEMENT OF THE CITY'S [Captioner] 19:44:37 GENERAL PLAN. [Captioner] 19:44:39 IT INCLUDES OVER 90 PROGRAMS [Captioner] 19:44:40 THAT THE CITY NEEDS TO IMPLEMENT [Captioner] 19:44:42 OVER THE EIGHT-YEAR PLANNING [Captioner] 19:44:42 PERIOD. [Captioner] 19:44:45 SO THERE ARE TWO HOUSING ELEMENT [Captioner] 19:44:46 PROGRAMS THAT REQUIRE CODE [Captioner] 19:44:48 CHANGES AND WILL NEED TO BE [Captioner] 19:44:49 IMPLEMENTED BY JANUARY 2025. [Captioner] 19:44:53 SOME OF THE CODE UPDATES ARE [Captioner] 19:44:55 ALSO RELATED TO STREAMLINING AND [Captioner] 19:44:56 FLEXIBILITY FOR HOUSING PROJECTS [Captioner] 19:44:57 AND CERTAIN TYPES OF USES. [Captioner] 19:45:00 THERE ARE SOME CODE UPDATES [Captioner] 19:45:02 RELATE TO COMPLYING WITH RECENT [Captioner] 19:45:02 CHANGES TO STATE LAW. [Captioner] 19:45:06 AND LASTLY, SOME UPDATES FOR [Captioner] 19:45:07 CONSISTENCY AND CLARIFICATIONS [Captioner] 19:45:09 TO DEFINITIONS, PROCEDURES AND [Captioner] 19:45:09 STANDARDS. [Captioner] 19:45:21 SO THIS ITEM WAS PRESENTED TO [Captioner] 19:45:23 THE PLANNING COMMISSION ON [Captioner] 19:45:23 NOVEMBER 21ST. [Captioner] 19:45:25 THE PLANNING COMMISSION [Captioner] 19:45:26 CONSIDERED THE ITEM AND VOTED [Captioner] 19:45:28 UNANIMOUSLY TO RECOMMEND TO THE [Captioner] 19:45:29 CITY COUNCIL THAT THEY ADOPT THE [Captioner] 19:45:30 PROPOSED ORDINANCE AND [Captioner] 19:45:32 RESOLUTION WITH NO CHANGES. [Captioner] 19:45:37 THE FIRST HOUSING ELEMENT [Captioner] 19:45:38 PROGRAM IS PROGRAM 35. [Captioner] 19:45:42 THIS REQUIRES THE CITY TO SET [Captioner] 19:45:45 DENSITY MINIMUMS OUTSIDE OF [Captioner] 19:45:46 TRANSIT-ORIENTED DEVELOPMENT OR [Captioner] 19:45:48 TOD ZONING DISTRICTS, [Captioner] 19:45:51 SPECIFICALLY THE CITY NEEDS TO [Captioner] 19:45:52 ESTABLISH A DENSITY FLOOR FOR [Captioner] 19:45:54 MIXED USE DEVELOPMENT IN THE MX [Captioner] 19:45:56 AND NON-TOD COMMERCIAL ZONING [Captioner] 19:45:57 DISTRICTS, SO STAFF IS PROPOSING [Captioner] 19:46:01 A MINIMUM RESIDENTIAL DENSITY OF [Captioner] 19:46:04 14.6 DWELLING UNITS PER ACRE FOR [Captioner] 19:46:06 THE FIVE ZONING DISTRICTS THAT [Captioner] 19:46:06 YOU SEE HERE. [Captioner] 19:46:10 THE SECOND PROGRAM IS HOUSING [Captioner] 19:46:10 ELEMENT PROGRAM 4. [Captioner] 19:46:13 THIS IS RELATED TO OBJECTIVE [Captioner] 19:46:14 DESIGN STANDARDS FOR HISTORIC [Captioner] 19:46:14 HOMES. [Captioner] 19:46:16 IT REQUIRES THE CITY TO DEVELOP [Captioner] 19:46:18 A SET OF OBJECTIVE DESIGN [Captioner] 19:46:20 STANDARDS FOR THE REVIEW OF [Captioner] 19:46:23 PROJECTS INVOLVING HISTORIC [Captioner] 19:46:23 HOMES. [Captioner] 19:46:24 THIS IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE [Captioner] 19:46:26 BATCH OF CODE UPDATES BEING [Captioner] 19:46:26 PRESENTED ON THIS ITEM. [Captioner] 19:46:28 IT'S ON A SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT [Captioner] 19:46:32 TRACK, SO IT IS TENTATIVELY [Captioner] 19:46:35 SCHEDULED FOR A COUNCIL MEETING [Captioner] 19:46:35 IN JANUARY. [Captioner] 19:46:37 IT'S ON A SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT [Captioner] 19:46:39 TRACK BECAUSE IT FIRST WENT TO [Captioner] 19:46:41 HARB ON NOVEMBER 14TH, WHERE [Captioner] 19:46:42 THEY PROVIDE A RECOMMENDATION TO [Captioner] 19:46:43 THE PLANNING COMMISSION, AND [Captioner] 19:46:44 THEN IT WENT TO THE PLANNING [Captioner] 19:46:46 COMMISSION JUST LAST WEEK ON [Captioner] 19:46:47 DECEMBER 12TH, WHERE THEY [Captioner] 19:46:48 PROVIDED A RECOMMENDATION TO THE [Captioner] 19:46:48 CITY COUNCIL. [Captioner] 19:46:55 IN TERMS OF STREAMLINING, STAFF [Captioner] 19:46:56 IS APPROPRIATING SOME CODE [Captioner] 19:46:58 UPDATES TO THE COMMERCIAL AND [Captioner] 19:47:00 MIXED USE ZONING DISTRICTS IN [Captioner] 19:47:01 RELATION TO ALLOWED USES. [Captioner] 19:47:05 STAFF IS PROPOSING FOR CERTAIN [Captioner] 19:47:07 LOW IMPACT RETAIL AND SERVICE [Captioner] 19:47:09 USES TO MAKE THEM MORE [Captioner] 19:47:11 PERMISSIVE AND BY DOING THAT, IT [Captioner] 19:47:13 WOULD REDUCE THE REVIEW TIME AND [Captioner] 19:47:15 SIMPLIFY PROCESSING FOR THESE [Captioner] 19:47:15 TYPES OF USES. [Captioner] 19:47:18 SO EXAMPLES OF CERTAIN TYPES OF [Captioner] 19:47:21 USES WOULD BE FITNESS CENTERS, [Captioner] 19:47:23 SPORTS CENTER RECREATION [Captioner] 19:47:26 FACILITIES, YOGA AND PILATES [Captioner] 19:47:27 STUDIOS, THAT INCLUDES DANCE [Captioner] 19:47:31 SUED STUDIOS, [Captioner] 19:47:32 ARCADES AND ANIMAL SERVICES. [Captioner] 19:47:34 THERE'S ALSO BEEN SOME [Captioner] 19:47:35 REGROUPING OF THESE USES BASED [Captioner] 19:47:37 ON LOGICAL GROUPINGS OF THESE. [Captioner] 19:47:39 THESE CHANGES TO THE COMMERCIAL [Captioner] 19:47:41 AND MIXED USE ZONING DISTRICTS [Captioner] 19:47:44 HAVE BEEN DISCUSSED AND MADE IN [Captioner] 19:47:46 CONSULTATION WITH THE ECONOMIC [Captioner] 19:47:47 DEPARTMENT AND THE POLICE [Captioner] 19:47:48 DEPARTMENT. [Captioner] 19:47:51 IF THERE ARE SPECIFIC QUESTIONS [Captioner] 19:47:53 REGARDING THIS SPECIFIC CODE [Captioner] 19:47:57 UPDATE, WE DO HAVE DONOVAN [Captioner] 19:47:58 LAZARO FROM ECONOMIC [Captioner] 19:48:00 DEVELOPMENT HERE, AND WE ALSO [Captioner] 19:48:01 HAVE LIEUTENANT MCCORMICK ON [Captioner] 19:48:01 ZOOM. [Captioner] 19:48:03 THEY'RE BOTH AVAILABLE TO ANSWER [Captioner] 19:48:04 QUESTIONS IF YOU HAVE SPECIFIC [Captioner] 19:48:05 QUESTIONS ON THIS CODE UPDATE. [Captioner] 19:48:11 ALSO RELATED TO STREAMLINING, [Captioner] 19:48:13 STAFF IS PROPOSING TO ELIMINATE [Captioner] 19:48:15 THE MASTER PLAN REQUIREMENT IN [Captioner] 19:48:17 THE WSI ZONING DISTRICT. [Captioner] 19:48:21 CURRENTLY THERE IS A MASTER PLAN [Captioner] 19:48:22 REQUIRED WHEN AN APPLICANT IS [Captioner] 19:48:24 PROPOSING A PROJECT ON A SITE [Captioner] 19:48:26 THAT IS GREATER THAN 5 ACRES IN [Captioner] 19:48:26 SIZE. [Captioner] 19:48:29 SINCE THE WSI ZONING DISTRICT [Captioner] 19:48:31 HAS BEEN CREATED, THERE'S BEEN [Captioner] 19:48:32 FOUR MASTER PLANS THAT HAVE BEEN [Captioner] 19:48:33 ADOPTED BY THE CITY COUNCIL. [Captioner] 19:48:35 AND THOSE MASTER PLANS HAVE BEEN [Captioner] 19:48:38 ADOPTED FOR THE LARGER SITES [Captioner] 19:48:40 THAT ARE CLOSEST TO THE WARM [Captioner] 19:48:41 SPRINGS BART STATION. [Captioner] 19:48:43 SO THE REMAINING SITES IN THE [Captioner] 19:48:47 WSI ARE SMALLER AND THEY'RE NOT [Captioner] 19:48:47 ADEQUATELY SIZED FOR A MASTER [Captioner] 19:48:47 PLAN. [Captioner] 19:48:51 AND AS PART OF ELIMINATING THE [Captioner] 19:48:53 MASTER PLAN REQUIREMENT, IT ALSO [Captioner] 19:48:55 INCLUDES UPDATES TO THE WARM [Captioner] 19:48:56 SPRINGS AND SOUTH FREMONT [Captioner] 19:48:58 COMMUNITY PLAN, AND THAT'S [Captioner] 19:49:02 RELATED ONLY TO ELIMINATING THE [Captioner] 19:49:03 LANGUAGE RELATED TO A MASTER [Captioner] 19:49:03 PLAN REQUIREMENT. [Captioner] 19:49:07 SOME OF THE OTHER STREAMLINING [Captioner] 19:49:09 UPDATES INCLUDE FOR DESIGN [Captioner] 19:49:10 REVIEW PROJECTS WHERE [Captioner] 19:49:12 MODIFICATIONS ARE PROPOSED IF [Captioner] 19:49:14 THEY'RE STILL OBJECTIVELY [Captioner] 19:49:14 COMPLIANT, THOSE WOULD ONLY BE [Captioner] 19:49:16 SUBJECT TO MINISTERIAL REVIEW. [Captioner] 19:49:20 AND ALSO STAFF IS PROPOSING FOR [Captioner] 19:49:23 HOUSING PROJECTS TO EXTEND THE [Captioner] 19:49:24 EXPIRATION DATE FROM 24 MONTHS [Captioner] 19:49:25 TO 48 MONTHS. [Captioner] 19:49:29 SOME OF THE OTHER CODE CHANGES [Captioner] 19:49:32 THAT ARE BEING PROPOSED, THEY'RE [Captioner] 19:49:33 RELATED TO COMPLYING WITH RECENT [Captioner] 19:49:37 STATE LAWS AND FOR GENERAL [Captioner] 19:49:38 CONSISTENCY. [Captioner] 19:49:40 SPECIFICALLY RELATED TO DENSITY [Captioner] 19:49:43 BONUS AB1287 WENT INTO EFFECT [Captioner] 19:49:45 JANUARY 1ST OF THIS YEAR. [Captioner] 19:49:49 IT CREATED A NEW STACKABLE [Captioner] 19:49:51 DENSITY BONUS, IT ALSO INCREASED [Captioner] 19:49:54 THE NUMBER OF INCENTIVES OR [Captioner] 19:49:56 CONCESSIONS FROM FEWER TO TO [Captioner] 19:49:56 FIVE. [Captioner] 19:49:57 ALSO PROPOSED CHANGES TO THE [Captioner] 19:49:58 AFFORDABLE HOUSING ORDINANCE, [Captioner] 19:49:59 STAFF IS UPDATING THE DEFINITION [Captioner] 19:50:01 OF LOW INCOME HOUSEHOLDS TO [Captioner] 19:50:02 ALIGN WITH STATE LAW. [Captioner] 19:50:05 AND IS ALSO PROPOSING TO [Captioner] 19:50:08 INCREASE THE MINIMUM TERM OF [Captioner] 19:50:09 AFFORDABILITY FROM 30 YEARS TO [Captioner] 19:50:09 45 YEARS. [Captioner] 19:50:14 AND LASTLY, THERE ARE UPDATES [Captioner] 19:50:16 RELATED TO PARKING AND VEHICLE [Captioner] 19:50:19 STORAGE, AND THOSE ARE LIMITED [Captioner] 19:50:21 JUST FOR CONSISTENCY WITH TITLE [Captioner] 19:50:23 XIX, WHICH WAS RECENTLY ADOPTED [Captioner] 19:50:24 BY THE CITY COUNCIL LAST MONTH. [Captioner] 19:50:29 SO IN CONCLUSION, STAFF IS [Captioner] 19:50:30 RECOMMENDING THAT THE CITY [Captioner] 19:50:33 COUNCIL FIND THAT THE PROPOSED [Captioner] 19:50:37 AMENDMENTS ARE EXEMPT FROM [Captioner] 19:50:41 CEQA FROM SECTION 15061 AND [Captioner] 19:50:42 15183, FIND THAT PROPOSED [Captioner] 19:50:43 AMENDMENTS ARE CONSISTENT WITH [Captioner] 19:50:45 THE GENERAL PLAN, INTRODUCE AN [Captioner] 19:50:46 ORDINANCE APPROVING THE PROPOSED [Captioner] 19:50:48 AMENDMENTS TO THE FMC AND ADOPT [Captioner] 19:50:50 A RESOLUTION FOR AMENDMENTS TO [Captioner] 19:50:52 THE WARM SPRINGS/SOUTH FREMONT [Captioner] 19:50:52 COMMUNITY PLAN. [Captioner] 19:50:54 AND STAFF IS AVAILABLE TO ANSWER [Captioner] 19:50:54 ANY QUESTIONS. [Captioner] 19:50:55 THANK YOU. [Captioner] 19:50:56 >> Vice Mayor Campbell: THANK [Captioner] 19:50:56 YOU. [Captioner] 19:50:59 I'LL BRING THIS TO THE COUNCIL [Captioner] 19:51:00 FOR CLARIFYING QUESTIONS, [Captioner] 19:51:00 PLEASE. [Captioner] 19:51:03 DO WE HAVE ANY CLARIFYING [Captioner] 19:51:03 QUESTIONS? [Captioner] 19:51:06 OKAY. [Captioner] 19:51:07 COUNCILMEMBER KIMBERLIN. [Captioner] 19:51:12 >> Councilmember Kimberlin: A [Captioner] 19:51:12 COUPLE QUICK QUESTIONS. [Captioner] 19:51:14 THE REASON FOR CHANGING THE [Captioner] 19:51:16 APPROVAL TIME LIMITS FROM 24 TO [Captioner] 19:51:17 48 MONTHS, COULD WE TALK A [Captioner] 19:51:17 LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT THAT? [Captioner] 19:51:24 >> SURE. [Captioner] 19:51:25 THANK YOU FOR THE QUESTION. [Captioner] 19:51:27 WE NOTICED THAT OVER THE PAST [Captioner] 19:51:29 SEVERAL YEARS, THERE'S BEEN [Captioner] 19:51:31 DELAYS IN GETTING PROJECTS [Captioner] 19:51:33 STARTED, SO PROJECTS THAT HAVE [Captioner] 19:51:34 BEEN ENTITLED BUT THERE WOULD BE [Captioner] 19:51:37 A DELAY IN THEIR BUILDING PERMIT [Captioner] 19:51:38 SUBMITTAL OR THEIR ACTUAL [Captioner] 19:51:40 RECEIVING OF BUILDING PERMITS. [Captioner] 19:51:41 AND THERE'S A NUMBER OF FACTORS [Captioner] 19:51:42 THAT WENT INTO THAT. [Captioner] 19:51:45 WE HAD THE PANDEMIC, WE HAD HIGH [Captioner] 19:51:47 INTEREST RATES, WE HAD SUPPLY [Captioner] 19:51:49 CHAIN ISSUES, LABOR COSTS, [Captioner] 19:51:51 MATERIALS COST, SO WE SAW QUITE [Captioner] 19:51:54 A FEW PROJECTS SORT OF STALL, [Captioner] 19:51:55 AND FOR THESE HOUSING [Captioner] 19:51:56 DEVELOPMENTS OR THE PROJECTS [Captioner] 19:51:58 THAT ARE HOUSING DEVELOPMENTS, [Captioner] 19:52:00 WE FEEL THAT AN EXTENSION OF [Captioner] 19:52:02 TIME FROM TWO YEARS TO FOUR [Captioner] 19:52:07 YEARS WOULD ALLOW FOR SOME [Captioner] 19:52:09 FLEXIBILITY AND ELIMINATE THE [Captioner] 19:52:11 NEED FOR TIME EXTENSIONS WHEN [Captioner] 19:52:13 ISSUES ARISE LIKE RELATED TO THE [Captioner] 19:52:14 FACTORS THAT I JUST MENTIONED. [Captioner] 19:52:15 >> Councilmember Kimberlin: [Captioner] 19:52:17 OKAY, SO IT REALLY DOES END UP [Captioner] 19:52:18 BEING A BENEFIT FOR WHO'S THERE [Captioner] 19:52:19 DOING THE WORK. [Captioner] 19:52:19 >> THAT'S CORRECT. [Captioner] 19:52:20 >> Councilmember Kimberlin: [Captioner] 19:52:20 OKAY. [Captioner] 19:52:21 IT DOESN'T MEAN THAT WE HAVE [Captioner] 19:52:23 MORE TIME TO DELAY ANYTHING, IT [Captioner] 19:52:24 REALLY IS A BENEFIT. [Captioner] 19:52:28 >> YEAH, IT [Captioner] 19:52:30 WOULD ELIMINATE THE NEED FOR [Captioner] 19:52:32 THEM TO COME IN FOR A TIME [Captioner] 19:52:32 EXTENSION AND GET THAT APPROVAL [Captioner] 19:52:35 BECAUSE THE TIME FRAME WOULD BE [Captioner] 19:52:35 DOUBLE. [Captioner] 19:52:35 >> Councilmember Kimberlin: [Captioner] 19:52:36 THANK YOU, THAT REALLY HELPS. [Captioner] 19:52:39 I HAD ONE MORE QUESTION ABOUT [Captioner] 19:52:39 THE TOD. [Captioner] 19:52:41 THE TOD PARKING. [Captioner] 19:52:43 IT SAID IT WAS REMOVED DURING [Captioner] 19:52:45 THE LAST CODE UPDATE CYCLE AND [Captioner] 19:52:48 THE REASON I ASK ABOUT THAT IS [Captioner] 19:52:50 BECAUSE TOD HAS BEEN A REAL [Captioner] 19:52:52 CHALLENGE IN SOME AREAS THAT WE [Captioner] 19:52:54 HAVE SO LITTLE PARKING, AND I [Captioner] 19:52:58 KNOW WE'RE GUIDED AND WE HAVE [Captioner] 19:52:59 CERTAIN GUIDELINES WE HAVE TO [Captioner] 19:52:59 ABIDE BY. [Captioner] 19:53:01 COULD YOU TALK A LITTLE BIT -- [Captioner] 19:53:02 IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE WITH THE [Captioner] 19:53:04 TOD PARKING THAT'S BEING CHANGED [Captioner] 19:53:05 OTHER THAN IT WAS REMOVED DURING [Captioner] 19:53:07 THE LAST CODE UPDATE CYCLE? [Captioner] 19:53:12 >> NO, THERE'S NO [Captioner] 19:53:14 CHANGES PROPOSED, WE'RE JUST [Captioner] 19:53:15 PUTTING BACK IN THE SECTION THAT [Captioner] 19:53:17 WAS INADVERTENTLY REMOVED FROM [Captioner] 19:53:20 THE LAST CODE UPDATE. [Captioner] 19:53:21 >> Councilmember Kimberlin: [Captioner] 19:53:21 THANK YOU. [Captioner] 19:53:25 >> Vice Mayor Campbell: TRUSTEE [Captioner] 19:53:25 ZHANG?

[Captioner] 19:53:37 >> Vice Mayor Campbell: I HAVE A [Captioner] 19:53:37 QUICK ONE. [Captioner] 19:53:41 THE ONE SLIDE WHERE YOU SAID [Captioner] 19:53:42 THAT -- I CAN'T REMEMBER WHICH [Captioner] 19:53:45 NUMBER IT WAS, BUT IT WAS [Captioner] 19:53:50 TALKING ABOUT STUDIOS, SPORTS [Captioner] 19:53:50 FITNESS. [Captioner] 19:53:53 DOES THAT INCLUDE DANCE STUDIOS [Captioner] 19:53:53 AND DOES THAT INCLUDE NILES? [Captioner] 19:53:55 BECAUSE WE JUST HEARD THAT, AND [Captioner] 19:53:56 I JUST WANTED TO CLARIFY. [Captioner] 19:53:57 >> YUSUF ASGERALLY, SO IT DOES [Captioner] 19:53:59 INCLUDE DANCE STUDIOS, AND [Captioner] 19:54:01 RELATED TO THE PUBLIC SPEAKER [Captioner] 19:54:03 EARLIER, YUSUF ASGERALLY, THE [Captioner] 19:54:04 USE AND THAT SPECIFIC LOCATION [Captioner] 19:54:06 WOULD BE INCLUDED WITH THIS [Captioner] 19:54:06 BATCH. [Captioner] 19:54:09 SO IF THESE CODE UPDATES ARE' [Captioner] 19:54:14 PROVED AND YOU'LL -- THEN YES, [Captioner] 19:54:14 THAT PROPOSED USE AT THAT [Captioner] 19:54:16 LOCATION WOULD BE PERMITTED BY [Captioner] 19:54:18 RIGHT, WHERE IT'S CURRENTLY NOT [Captioner] 19:54:18 ALLOWED. [Captioner] 19:54:19 >> Vice Mayor Campbell: DO WE [Captioner] 19:54:21 NEED TO SPECIFY DANCE IN THERE [Captioner] 19:54:23 BECAUSE ON THAT SLIDE, IT DID [Captioner] 19:54:27 NOT HAVE DANCE AS A [Captioner] 19:54:28 APPROVED BUSINESS. [Captioner] 19:54:32 >> THOSE ARE JUST SOME EXAMPLES [Captioner] 19:54:33 BUT IN THE ORDINANCE ITSELF, IT [Captioner] 19:54:33 SPECIFICALLY SAYS DANCE. [Captioner] 19:54:34 >> Vice Mayor Campbell: OKAY. [Captioner] 19:54:36 I DIDN'T SEE THAT WHEN I READ IT [Captioner] 19:54:37 EARLIER, BUT THANK YOU FOR THAT [Captioner] 19:54:38 CLARIFICATION. [Captioner] 19:54:42 TRUSTEE SHAO, DOES HE HAVE ANY [Captioner] 19:54:43 QUESTION, HANDS UP FOR [Captioner] 19:54:43 QUESTIONS? [Captioner] 19:54:44 >> Councilmember Shao: NO.

[Captioner] 19:54:55 KELLY ABREU. [Captioner] 19:54:55 >> Vice Mayor Campbell: THANK [Captioner] 19:54:55 YOU. [Captioner] 19:54:56 2 MINUTES, PLEASE. [Captioner] 19:55:00 >> WE JUST HEARD THAT THIS IS [Captioner] 19:55:05 SUPPOSED TO BE MAKING THE [Captioner] 19:55:08 ORDINANCE MORE PERMISSIVE, MAKE [Captioner] 19:55:11 COMMERCIAL ZONINGS MORE -- EASE [Captioner] 19:55:12 THE RESTRICTIONS. [Captioner] 19:55:18 WELL, THEY'VE THROWN IN A [Captioner] 19:55:21 BILLIARD HALLS, BOWLING ALLEYS, [Captioner] 19:55:23 INDOOR TENNIS, ET CETERA, A [Captioner] 19:55:24 RESTRICTION ON THE SALE OF [Captioner] 19:55:25 DISTILLED SPIRITS AFTER [Captioner] 19:55:25 MIDNIGHT. [Captioner] 19:55:29 IF YOU LOOK AT THE CALIFORNIA [Captioner] 19:55:31 LAW, THEY'RE DEFINED AS MIXED [Captioner] 19:55:32 DRINKS OR COCKTAILS WITH [Captioner] 19:55:34 DELUSIONS OF DISTILLED SPIRITS, [Captioner] 19:55:35 OR NON- -- WHEN YOU MIX THEM [Captioner] 19:55:40 WITH NON-ALCOHOLIC MIXERS, READY [Captioner] 19:55:43 TO DRINK SPIRIT-BASED BEVERAGES, [Captioner] 19:55:45 PREMIXED PRODUCTS WHICH OFTEN [Captioner] 19:55:47 HAVE A LOWER ALCOHOL CONTENT, AS [Captioner] 19:55:49 LOW AS 4 OR 5%, SO THERE IS NO [Captioner] 19:55:50 CHEMICAL, LEGAL OR MEDICAL [Captioner] 19:55:52 REASON WHY YOU WOULD JUST GO [Captioner] 19:55:54 AFTER THE -- TRY TO PUT A [Captioner] 19:55:54 RESTRICTION ON DISTILLED [Captioner] 19:55:54 SPIRITS. [Captioner] 19:55:57 I MEAN, YOU DO THEM ALL OR YOU [Captioner] 19:55:57 DO NOTHING. [Captioner] 19:55:59 YOU'RE GOING AFTER ALCOHOL, NOT [Captioner] 19:56:00 DISTILLED SPIRITS.

[Captioner] 19:59:34 WE HAVE ASSOCIATE PLANNER [Captioner] 19:59:40 -- I'M SORRY, PUBLIC WORKS [Captioner] 19:59:44 DIRECTOR, ALONG WITH CITY [Captioner] 19:59:45 MANAGER TARA. [Captioner] 19:59:57 IS THERE A PRESENTATION OR -- [Captioner] 19:59:59 >> Mr. Larsen: I JUST HAVE A FEW [Captioner] 20:00:01 BRIEF REMARKS AND THEN STAFF IS [Captioner] 20:00:02 HERE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. [Captioner] 20:00:07 SO MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL, SO [Captioner] 20:00:10 THIS AGENDA ITEM IS A ROUTINE [Captioner] 20:00:13 ANNUAL ACTION THAT ACCOMPLISHES [Captioner] 20:00:13 TWO THINGS. [Captioner] 20:00:16 FIRST IT PROVIDES THE DISCLOSURE [Captioner] 20:00:18 REPORT ON HOW WE HAVE USED [Captioner] 20:00:20 DEVELOPMENT IMPACT FEES FOR [Captioner] 20:00:22 PARKS, TRANSPORTATION AND OTHER [Captioner] 20:00:24 FACILITIES, AND PUBLISHING THIS [Captioner] 20:00:26 REPORT IS IN COMPLIANCE WITH [Captioner] 20:00:26 STATE LAW. [Captioner] 20:00:30 THE SECOND ACTION IS A [Captioner] 20:00:35 RECOMMENDATION TO ADJUST OR [Captioner] 20:00:36 DEVELOPMENT IMPACT FEES TO KEEP [Captioner] 20:00:37 PACE WITH THE COST OF [Captioner] 20:00:39 CONSTRUCTION, USING A PUBLISHED [Captioner] 20:00:40 CONSTRUCTION COST INDEX FOR THE [Captioner] 20:00:40 BAY AREA. [Captioner] 20:00:45 IT IS NOTED THAT CONSTRUCTION [Captioner] 20:00:46 COSTS HAVE BEEN RELATIVELY FLAT [Captioner] 20:00:48 THIS PAST YEAR. [Captioner] 20:00:51 THAT COMPARES TO A RELATIVELY [Captioner] 20:00:53 LARGE INFLATIONARY ADJUSTMENT [Captioner] 20:00:55 THAT WAS MADE IN 2022. [Captioner] 20:00:59 AT THAT TIME, THE INCREASE WAS [Captioner] 20:01:00 OVER 13%. [Captioner] 20:01:03 THE OFFICIAL RECORDED [Captioner] 20:01:07 CONSTRUCTION COST INDEX CHANGE [Captioner] 20:01:10 IS ACTUALLY DOWN SLIGHTLY BY [Captioner] 20:01:10 0.23%. [Captioner] 20:01:12 BUT BECAUSE IT'S BEEN OUR [Captioner] 20:01:14 PRACTICE TO USE THIS INDEX TO [Captioner] 20:01:18 ADJUST OUR FEES, WE ARE [Captioner] 20:01:20 RECOMMENDING A CONTINUATION OF [Captioner] 20:01:20 THAT. [Captioner] 20:01:23 AND TAKING THE ACTION TO ADJUST [Captioner] 20:01:28 THE FEES REQUIRES THE [Captioner] 20:01:30 COUNCIL PUBLIC HEARING PRIOR TO [Captioner] 20:01:31 CONSIDERING THE FEE ADJUSTMENT. [Captioner] 20:01:33 I'LL TURN IT BACK OVER TO MAYOR [Captioner] 20:01:34 SALWAN AND STAFF IS HERE TO [Captioner] 20:01:35 ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU [Captioner] 20:01:35 HAVE. [Captioner] 20:01:39 >> Mayor Salwan: ANY QUESTIONS [Captioner] 20:01:39 FROM COUNCILMEMBERS? [Captioner] 20:01:43 SEEING NONE, I'LL GO AHEAD AND [Captioner] 20:01:44 OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING. [Captioner] 20:01:47 DO WE HAVE ANY SPEAK ARES? [Captioner] 20:01:49 SPEAKERS? [Captioner] 20:01:51 >> Ms. Gauthier: THERE ARE NO [Captioner] 20:01:52 SPEAKER CARDS. [Captioner] 20:01:53 >> Mayor Salwan: SEEING NO [Captioner] 20:01:56 SPEAKERS, WE WILL CLOSE THE [Captioner] 20:01:57 PUBLIC HEARING, BRING IT BACK TO [Captioner] 20:01:59 COUNCIL FOR FURTHER COMMENTS? [Captioner] 20:02:00 >> Vice Mayor Campbell: I HAVE A [Captioner] 20:02:01 QUICK CLARIFYING QUESTION ON [Captioner] 20:02:01 THIS ONE. [Captioner] 20:02:03 FOR EXHIBIT A, BECAUSE THE FEES [Captioner] 20:02:07 ARE GOING TO BE GOING DOWN BY [Captioner] 20:02:11 .36%, I THINK THERE WAS A [Captioner] 20:02:12 SLIGHT TYPO IN ONE OF THEM. [Captioner] 20:02:13 UNLESS THIS IS CORRECT. [Captioner] 20:02:18 IF YOU COULD LOOK ON [Captioner] 20:02:23 EXHIBIT A, IT SAYS IN [Captioner] 20:02:27 THE -- TWO BEDROOMS, CAPITAL [Captioner] 20:02:27 FACILITIES. [Captioner] 20:02:30 WHAT SHOULD BE THE CORRECT [Captioner] 20:02:30 NUMBER? [Captioner] 20:02:41 I JUST NOTICED IT AFTER [Captioner] 20:02:43 LATER TODAY, I WOULD HAVE ASKED [Captioner] 20:02:45 YOU OVER THE WEEKEND BUT I JUST [Captioner] 20:02:45 NOTICED IT. [Captioner] 20:02:49 >> Mr. Larsen: I THINK IN MY [Captioner] 20:02:51 VERSION OF THE STAFF REPORT, FOR [Captioner] 20:02:53 CAPITAL FACILITIES, THE FEE FOR [Captioner] 20:02:57 TWO BEDROOMS IS $3,259. [Captioner] 20:03:00 >> Vice Mayor Campbell: WAS IT [Captioner] 20:03:01 SUPPOSED TO GO DOWN, THOUGH? [Captioner] 20:03:03 BECAUSE EVERYTHING ELSE WENT [Captioner] 20:03:09 DOWN BY THE .36 PERCENT TAJES [Captioner] 20:03:09 SEPTEMBER THIS ONE. [Captioner] 20:03:12 THIS IS THE ONLY ONE THAT DIDN'T [Captioner] 20:03:14 TAKE A -- IT'S ONLY $2 OFF OR [Captioner] 20:03:14 SOMETHING. [Captioner] 20:03:20 $5 OFF. [Captioner] 20:03:24 I DIDN'T DO MY MATH. [Captioner] 20:03:33 >> Mr. Larsen: THIS IS EXHIBIT [Captioner] 20:03:33 A? [Captioner] 20:03:35 >> Vice Mayor Campbell: WANT TO [Captioner] 20:03:38 SHOW YOUR PAPER, VICE MAYOR?

[Captioner] 20:04:02 >> Mr. Larsen: SO IT'S GOING [Captioner] 20:04:06 DOWN FROM $3,324 TO $3,259. [Captioner] 20:04:08 >> Vice Mayor Campbell: I [Captioner] 20:04:10 THOUGHT IT SAID 359. [Captioner] 20:04:16 SO THAT WOULD BE USER ERROR, AND [Captioner] 20:04:17 I'M THE USER. [Captioner] 20:04:37 >> Mayor Salwan: ANY FURTHER [Captioner] 20:04:37 QUESTIONS? [Captioner] 20:04:38 >> Vice Mayor Campbell: NO, I'LL [Captioner] 20:04:39 MOVE TO APPROVE. [Captioner] 20:04:41 >> Vice Mayor Campbell: IS THERE [Captioner] 20:04:41 A SECOND? [Captioner] 20:04:42 >> Councilmember Liu: I CAN [Captioner] 20:04:42 SECOND THAT.

[Captioner] 20:16:03 WHICH IS THE CITYWIDE CAMPING [Captioner] 20:16:04 BAN ON PUBLIC PROPERTY [Captioner] 20:16:04 ORDINANCE. [Captioner] 20:16:09 I'LL TURN IT OVER TO OUR STAFF, [Captioner] 20:16:10 CHIEF WASHINGTON, AND DEPUTY [Captioner] 20:16:14 CITY MANAGER ALLEN DEMERS FOR [Captioner] 20:16:14 THEIR PRESENTATION. [Captioner] 20:16:18 >> GOOD EVENING, COUNCIL. [Captioner] 20:16:20 ALLEN DEMERS, DEPUTY CITY [Captioner] 20:16:20 MANAGER. [Captioner] 20:19:08 [PLEASE STAND BY] [Captioner] 20:20:11 [PLEASE STAND BY] [Captioner] 20:20:37 >> Mr. DeMers: GOOD EVENING, [Captioner] 20:20:37 MAYOR AND COUNCIL. [Captioner] 20:20:41 CHIEF WASHINGTON AND I ARE HERE [Captioner] 20:20:44 TO PRESENT A DRAFT CAMPING [Captioner] 20:20:45 ENFORCEMENT ORDINANCE FOR THE [Captioner] 20:20:46 COUNCIL TO CONSIDER. [Captioner] 20:20:53 AS I WILL DESCRIBE THE ELEMENTS [Captioner] 20:20:57 OF THAT RELATIVELY [Captioner] 20:20:58 STRAIGHTFORWARD ORDINANCE AS WE [Captioner] 20:21:01 MOVE THROUGH THE PRESENTATION, [Captioner] 20:21:03 BUT I THOUGHT THAT I WOULD BEGIN [Captioner] 20:21:05 WITH A LITTLE BIT OF HISTORY AND [Captioner] 20:21:06 GROUNDING, ESPECIALLY BECAUSE WE [Captioner] 20:21:08 HAVE HAD WELCOMED SOME NEW [Captioner] 20:21:10 LEADERSHIP TO THE COUNCIL. [Captioner] 20:21:13 AND I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE [Captioner] 20:21:15 HELPFUL TO TALK A LITTLE BIT [Captioner] 20:21:17 ABOUT WHERE WE'RE COMING FROM [Captioner] 20:21:19 AND HOW WE GOT TO THIS [Captioner] 20:21:20 PRESENTATION THIS EVENING. [Captioner] 20:21:26 AS YOU CAN SEE FROM THIS CHART [Captioner] 20:21:29 IN THE MOST RECENT POINT IN TIME [Captioner] 20:21:32 COUNT FOR THE CITY OF FREMONT, [Captioner] 20:21:36 FREMONT IS ESTIMATED TO HAVE [Captioner] 20:21:40 APPROXIMATELY 800 UNHOUSED [Captioner] 20:21:40 INDIVIDUALS. [Captioner] 20:21:43 THAT IS A REDUCTION FROM THE [Captioner] 20:21:48 POINT IN TIME COUNT IN [Captioner] 20:21:48 2022. [Captioner] 20:21:50 A LITTLE BIT OF ADDITIONAL [Captioner] 20:21:50 HISTORY. [Captioner] 20:21:53 IN MAY, THIS COUNCIL APPROVED [Captioner] 20:21:55 THE CITY'S FIRST HOMELESSNESS [Captioner] 20:21:56 RESPONSE STRATEGIC PLAN. [Captioner] 20:22:02 THAT PLAN WAS A [Captioner] 20:22:06 SERVICE-FOCUSED PLAN, FOCUSED [Captioner] 20:22:11 ON FIVE KEY ELEMENTS ENHANCING [Captioner] 20:22:12 INVESTMENT IN PREVENTION, [Captioner] 20:22:15 CREATING ADDITIONAL HOUSING [Captioner] 20:22:17 SOLUTIONS, ENHANCING EFFORTS TO [Captioner] 20:22:19 CONNECT UNHOUSED PEOPLE TO [Captioner] 20:22:21 HOUSING AND OTHER RESOURCES, [Captioner] 20:22:22 FURTHERING INVESTMENT IN [Captioner] 20:22:25 ACTIVITIES THAT WILL REDUCE THE [Captioner] 20:22:27 IMPACTS OF HOMELESSNESS ON THE [Captioner] 20:22:29 ENVIRONMENT AND THE COMMUNITY, [Captioner] 20:22:30 AND STRENGTHENING COORDINATION [Captioner] 20:22:33 AND CAPACITY AMONGST THE REGION [Captioner] 20:22:34 NAT PROVIDERS. [Captioner] 20:22:38 WHEN WE PRESENTED THAT PLAN, [Captioner] 20:22:42 THERE WAS ROBUST DISCUSSION, [Captioner] 20:22:43 MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY THAT [Captioner] 20:22:44 WERE SUPPORTIVE, MEMBERS THAT [Captioner] 20:22:44 WERE NOT. [Captioner] 20:22:47 THE COUNCIL ASKED AT THAT TIME [Captioner] 20:22:52 THAT THE STAFF RETURN TO THE [Captioner] 20:22:55 COUNCIL WITH ADDITIONAL [Captioner] 20:22:57 ENFORCEMENT OPTIONS BECAUSE THE [Captioner] 20:23:01 PLAN FOCUSED ON RESOLVING [Captioner] 20:23:02 HOMELESSNESS EXPLICITLY. [Captioner] 20:23:05 THAT PLAN DID NOT RECOMMEND [Captioner] 20:23:09 ENFORCEMENT ORDINANCES AS A [Captioner] 20:23:13 MECHANISM TO SOLVE ANY [Captioner] 20:23:13 INDIVIDUALS' UNHOUSED STATUS. [Captioner] 20:23:20 IN JUNE OF THIS YEAR, AS THE [Captioner] 20:23:22 COUNCIL IS LIKELY FAMILIAR, THE [Captioner] 20:23:24 SUPREME COURT RULED IN THE [Captioner] 20:23:27 GRANTS PASS CASE, AND THAT [Captioner] 20:23:32 RULING AFFIRMED THAT CITIES AND [Captioner] 20:23:35 COUNTIES, LOCAL JURISDICTIONS, [Captioner] 20:23:37 CAN ENFORCE BANS ON PUBLIC [Captioner] 20:23:39 CAMPING EVEN WHEN SUFFICIENT [Captioner] 20:23:41 SHELTER FOR UNHOUSED INDIVIDUALS [Captioner] 20:23:41 IS NOT AVAILABLE. [Captioner] 20:23:44 THE CITY COUNCIL REQUESTED AT [Captioner] 20:23:48 THAT TIME THAT STAFF OUTLINE NEW [Captioner] 20:23:49 REGULATORY OPTIONS FOR THE CITY [Captioner] 20:23:55 COUNCIL TO CONSIDER THAT FLOWED [Captioner] 20:23:55 SPECIFICALLY FROM THE GRANTS [Captioner] 20:23:56 PASS RULING. [Captioner] 20:24:07 CITY STAFF RETURNED TO THE [Captioner] 20:24:11 COUNCIL SEVERAL TIMES OVER THE [Captioner] 20:24:11 LAST SEVERAL MONTHS. [Captioner] 20:24:16 FIRST TO DISCUSS A BAN ON LARGE [Captioner] 20:24:19 VEHICLES IN SAFE ROUTES TO [Captioner] 20:24:19 SCHOOL. [Captioner] 20:24:23 SO THOSE ARE PREESTABLISHED [Captioner] 20:24:26 PEDESTRIAN ROUTES THAT CHILDREN [Captioner] 20:24:27 -- WELL, THAT ANYONE USES TO GET [Captioner] 20:24:29 TO AND FROM SCHOOLS. [Captioner] 20:24:33 THE COUNCIL ALSO PASSED A BAN ON [Captioner] 20:24:37 LARGE VEHICLES PARKING IN [Captioner] 20:24:38 RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOODS, AND [Captioner] 20:24:43 THE COUNCIL ALSO ENHANCED [Captioner] 20:24:47 IK CYSTING RULES -- HOW LONG [Captioner] 20:24:49 ANY VEHICLE IRRESPECTIVE OF ITS [Captioner] 20:24:51 SIZE COULD PARK IN ONE PLACE [Captioner] 20:24:53 THROUGHOUT THE CITY OF FREMONT, [Captioner] 20:24:54 ENHANCING HOW FAR AWAY THAT WILL [Captioner] 20:24:58 VEHICLE HAD TO MOVE IF IT WAS [Captioner] 20:24:59 PARKED SOMEWHERE AND CITED OR [Captioner] 20:25:01 DIRECTED TO MOVE, WITH THE [Captioner] 20:25:06 INTENT OF FACILITATING [Captioner] 20:25:12 -- KEEPING SOME EMCAMPMENTS -- [Captioner] 20:25:15 SOME VEHICLE ENCAMPMENTS FROM [Captioner] 20:25:18 BECOMING ENTRENCHED IN [Captioner] 20:25:19 PARTICULAR AREAS OF THE CITY. [Captioner] 20:25:21 THE LAST TWO EYE TEMPTS, THE [Captioner] 20:25:23 RESIDENTIAL LARGE VEHICLE [Captioner] 20:25:24 ENFORCEMENT ITEM AND THE 72 [Captioner] 20:25:27 VEHICLE PARKING ITEM WERE PASSED [Captioner] 20:25:29 BY THE COUNCIL AND AFTER A [Captioner] 20:25:30 30-DAY PERIOD AS IS THE CASE [Captioner] 20:25:32 WITH ALL MUNICIPAL CODE [Captioner] 20:25:33 REVISIONS, WENT INTO EFFECT THIS [Captioner] 20:25:33 WEEK. [Captioner] 20:25:44 AS AN ADDITIONAL NOTE, AS THE [Captioner] 20:25:48 COUNCIL IS LIKELY AWARE, [Captioner] 20:25:51 UNAUTHORIZED CAMPING IS ALREADY [Captioner] 20:25:52 PROHIBITED IN SOME DIFFERENT [Captioner] 20:25:53 SITUATIONS IN THE CITY. [Captioner] 20:25:57 SO IT IS PROHIBITED [Captioner] 20:26:01 IN AN ACTIVE PUBLIC PARK OR ON [Captioner] 20:26:04 PRIVATE PROPERTY, WHERE IT WOULD [Captioner] 20:26:05 CONSTITUTE TRESPASSING. [Captioner] 20:26:16 THE KEY ELEMENTS OF THIS DRAFT [Captioner] 20:26:17 ORDINANCE BEFORE THE COUNCIL [Captioner] 20:26:21 ARE, AGAIN, STRAIGHTFORWARD. [Captioner] 20:26:23 IT WOULD PROHIBIT CAMPING AND [Captioner] 20:26:24 STORAGE OF PERSONAL PROPERTY ON [Captioner] 20:26:27 PUBLIC LANDS, INCLUDING STREETS, [Captioner] 20:26:29 SIDEWALKS, CITY BUILDINGS, [Captioner] 20:26:31 PARKS, OPEN SPACES AND [Captioner] 20:26:31 WATERWAYS. [Captioner] 20:26:35 IT WOULD CREATE EXPLICIT [Captioner] 20:26:36 ENFORCEMENT AUTHORITY FOR THE [Captioner] 20:26:38 ABATEMENT OF PERSONAL PROPERTY [Captioner] 20:26:40 THAT'S LEFT ON PUBLIC PROPERTY. [Captioner] 20:26:46 AND IT INSTALLS AN ENFORCEMENT [Captioner] 20:26:47 MECHANISM, AND AS OUTLINED IN [Captioner] 20:26:54 THE CODE, IT WOULD DICTATE THAT [Captioner] 20:26:55 STAFF WOULD SEEK VOLUNTARY [Captioner] 20:26:56 COMPLIANCE WITH THE CODE. [Captioner] 20:27:00 IT WOULD THEN REQUIRE THAT A [Captioner] 20:27:02 WRITTEN WARNING BE ISSUED UNDER [Captioner] 20:27:03 MOST CIRCUMSTANCES, AND THEN [Captioner] 20:27:05 AFTER A WAITING PERIOD, [Captioner] 20:27:09 EFFICIENTLY WOULD RESULT IN A [Captioner] 20:27:09 MISS DMEE KNOW. [Captioner] 20:27:11 MISDEMEANOR. [Captioner] 20:27:14 THAT'S THE LANGUAGE OBTAINED [Captioner] 20:27:14 WITHIN THE CODE. [Captioner] 20:27:15 IMPLEMENTATION CONSIDERATIONS. [Captioner] 20:27:18 THIS IS A VERY SIMILAR SLIDE TO [Captioner] 20:27:21 THE ONE THAT ACCOMPANIED THE [Captioner] 20:27:22 PARKING ENFORCEMENT ELEMENTS [Captioner] 20:27:24 THAT WE BROUGHT FORTH TO THE [Captioner] 20:27:28 COUNCIL IN THE LAST FEW MONTHS [Captioner] 20:27:31 IN THAT PASSING CODE REVISION IS [Captioner] 20:27:35 EASY, AND EFFECTUATING WHAT THAT [Captioner] 20:27:37 LOOKS LIKE BY WAY OF ENFORCEMENT [Captioner] 20:27:38 FOR THE CHIEF AND HIS STAFF AND [Captioner] 20:27:40 FOR OUR HUMAN SERVICES [Captioner] 20:27:43 PROFESSIONALS, CAN BE QUITE [Captioner] 20:27:45 COSTLY AND DIFFICULT. [Captioner] 20:27:51 WHEN WE HAVE DISCUSSED OTHER [Captioner] 20:27:53 ELEMENTS OF PURE ENFORCEMENT AND [Captioner] 20:27:55 RELIANCE ON THE HOMELESS [Captioner] 20:27:55 STRATEGIC PLAN THAT WAS PASSED [Captioner] 20:27:57 BY THE COUNCIL AND THE ADVICE [Captioner] 20:27:58 THAT WE'VE GOTTEN FROM EXPERTS [Captioner] 20:28:03 IN THIS FIELD, REGULATION [Captioner] 20:28:06 CAN BE EFFECTIVE IN SPECIFIC [Captioner] 20:28:10 AREAS TO, YOU KNOW, PROTECT THE [Captioner] 20:28:13 SORT OF NATURE OR CHARACTER OF A [Captioner] 20:28:14 SPECIFIC NEIGHBORHOOD OR USE OF [Captioner] 20:28:16 A PARTICULAR FACILITY, IT'S [Captioner] 20:28:18 GENERALLY NOT EFFECTIVE IN [Captioner] 20:28:19 REDUCING OVERALL HOMELESSNESS IN [Captioner] 20:28:20 FREMONT. [Captioner] 20:28:24 OVERALL HOMELESSNESS IS REDUCED [Captioner] 20:28:26 BY HOUSING INDIVIDUALS, [Captioner] 20:28:27 GENERALLY SPEAKING. [Captioner] 20:28:33 CREATING ENFORCEMENT OBLIGATIONS [Captioner] 20:28:37 DOES CREATE AN [Captioner] 20:28:39 UNMET EXPECTATION FOR OUR [Captioner] 20:28:39 POLICE DEPARTMENT. [Captioner] 20:28:45 AND WHILE STAFF, POLICE [Captioner] 20:28:46 DEPARTMENT, HUMAN SERVICES WILL [Captioner] 20:28:48 CERTAINLY DO OUR BEST TO ADHERE [Captioner] 20:28:51 TO COUNCIL DIRECTION, WE WANT TO [Captioner] 20:28:54 BE SOBER IN OUR PRESENTATION OF [Captioner] 20:28:59 THE FACT THAT THESE CHANGES WILL [Captioner] 20:29:01 BE EXPENSIVE, HOWEVER, THEY'RE [Captioner] 20:29:04 SORT OF PROCESSED WHEN WE GET TO [Captioner] 20:29:07 THE BUDGET PROCESS THIS YEAR. [Captioner] 20:29:12 AND IT WILL REQUIRE TRADEOFFS. [Captioner] 20:29:14 WE NEED TO ASSESS WHAT WE'RE [Captioner] 20:29:15 GOING TO STOP DOING IF WE'RE [Captioner] 20:29:15 GOING TO FUND SOMETHING NEW. [Captioner] 20:29:19 IF THE COUNCIL DETERMINES THAT [Captioner] 20:29:22 IT WISHES TO MOVE FORWARD WITH [Captioner] 20:29:24 THIS ORDINANCE, STAFF WILL MAKE [Captioner] 20:29:27 A SYSTEMATIC ASSESSMENT OF [Captioner] 20:29:32 ENCAMPMENT CONDITIONS [Captioner] 20:29:34 , WE'RE GENERALLY ALREADY DOING [Captioner] 20:29:35 SO, WE'LL ASSESS THE [Captioner] 20:29:37 AVAILABILITY OF RESOURCES AND [Captioner] 20:29:39 THE FEASIBILITY AND COMMUNITY [Captioner] 20:29:43 BENEFIT OF ANY PARTICULAR [Captioner] 20:29:45 ENFORCEMENT, AND EFFECTIVELY [Captioner] 20:29:47 WOULD DEVELOP A CALENDAR FOR [Captioner] 20:29:53 ENFORCEMENT THAT IS [Captioner] 20:29:55 POSSIBLE WITHIN STAFFING AND [Captioner] 20:29:55 BUDGETARY CONSTRAINTS. [Captioner] 20:30:04 I WOULD NOTE AGAIN THAT ANY TYPE [Captioner] 20:30:05 OF INTERVENTION IS GOING TO BE [Captioner] 20:30:07 MORE EFFECTIVE IF ALTERNATIVE [Captioner] 20:30:11 SHELTER IS AVAILABLE TO OFFER, [Captioner] 20:30:12 AND THOSE ARE THE INTERVENTIONS [Captioner] 20:30:13 THAT WILL BE MOST EECTTIVE. [Captioner] 20:30:18 -- MOST [Captioner] 20:30:20 EFFECTIVE. [Captioner] 20:30:26 I WOULD CLOSE BY NOTING THAT [Captioner] 20:30:30 THIS ITEM IS BROUGHT FORWARD AS [Captioner] 20:30:32 AN INDEPENDENT ENFORCEMENT [Captioner] 20:30:34 OPTION FOR THE COUNCIL AT THE [Captioner] 20:30:34 COUNCIL'S REQUEST. [Captioner] 20:30:36 AND ALBEIT A DIFFERENT [Captioner] 20:30:38 FORMULATION OF THE COUNCIL THAN [Captioner] 20:30:38 THE ONE BEFORE ME. [Captioner] 20:30:47 AND THIS ELEMENT, [Captioner] 20:30:50 ASIDE FROM POTENTIALLY BEING [Captioner] 20:30:53 ONE MORE COMPETITION FOR [Captioner] 20:30:54 RESOURCES AMONGST THE CITY'S [Captioner] 20:30:57 MANY COMPETITIONS FOR RESOURCES [Captioner] 20:30:58 WOULD OPERATE INDEPENDENTLY FROM [Captioner] 20:31:02 THE CITY'S FIVE-YEAR STRATEGIC [Captioner] 20:31:05 PLAN FOR MORE EFFECTIVELY [Captioner] 20:31:05 RESOLVING HOMELESSNESS. [Captioner] 20:31:09 SO TO THE EXTENT THAT -- [Captioner] 20:31:10 IRRESPECTIVE OF WHETHER OR NOT [Captioner] 20:31:11 THIS PASSES OR DOES NOT PASS, [Captioner] 20:31:14 THE CITY DOES PLAN -- CITY STAFF [Captioner] 20:31:17 DOES PLAN TO STILL VIGOROUSLY [Captioner] 20:31:20 PURSUE THE FIVE STRATEGIC [Captioner] 20:31:24 ELEMENTS OF THE [Captioner] 20:31:27 WITH THAT I'M SURE THERE WILL [Captioner] 20:31:30 BE QUESTIONS AND THE CHIEF AND I [Captioner] 20:31:32 AND SEVERAL OTHER STAFF MEMBERS [Captioner] 20:31:33 ARE AVAILABLE TO ANSWER THEM. [Captioner] 20:31:37 >> Mayor Salwan: THANK YOU FOR [Captioner] 20:31:38 THE PRESENTATION. [Captioner] 20:31:40 SO KIND OF A HIGH LEVEL LIKE [Captioner] 20:31:42 WHAT SORT OF SERVICES ARE WE [Captioner] 20:31:44 PROVIDED THROUGH THE FIVE [Captioner] 20:31:45 INITIATIVES ALREADY? [Captioner] 20:31:56 >> I'LL ACKNOWLEDGE THE HARD [Captioner] 20:32:00 WORK OF OUR PARTNERS, THRER [Captioner] 20:32:01 EFFORTS THAT WE COLLABORATE WITH [Captioner] 20:32:03 OTHER AGENCIES, THE COUNTY, ET [Captioner] 20:32:05 CETERA, THE MOST SPECIFIC WOULD [Captioner] 20:32:10 BE OUR NAVIGATION CENTER WHICH [Captioner] 20:32:14 PROVIDES SHORT TERM [Captioner] 20:32:16 SHELTER AND SERVICES FOR [Captioner] 20:32:16 UNHOUSED INDIVIDUALS. [Captioner] 20:32:20 THERE ARE OTHER EMERGENCY [Captioner] 20:32:23 SHELTERS WITHIN THE CITY, THE [Captioner] 20:32:27 CITY IS ALSO PROVIDING RENTAL [Captioner] 20:32:31 ASSISTANCE TO FOLKS THAT ARE [Captioner] 20:32:36 ON AT [Captioner] 20:32:40 RISK OF BECOMING HOMELESS AS [Captioner] 20:32:44 I EXPLAINED SPECIFICALLY IN OUR [Captioner] 20:32:48 AT RISK HOMELESS [Captioner] 20:32:49 PLAN. [Captioner] 20:32:52 THE RISK OF AT ONE EXPERIENCES [Captioner] 20:32:53 HOMELESSNESS IT IS MORE [Captioner] 20:32:56 DIFFICULT TO PULL THEM BACK OUT [Captioner] 20:32:57 OF HOMELESSNESS. [Captioner] 20:32:59 SO THE PLAN AND STAFF ARE VERY, [Captioner] 20:33:02 VERY SUPPORTIVE OF PREVENTION [Captioner] 20:33:06 EFFORTS. [Captioner] 20:33:10 THE CITY [Captioner] 20:33:15 OPERATES MOBILE EVALUATION TEAM [Captioner] 20:33:17 WHICH PAIRS POLICE OFFICERS, [Captioner] 20:33:20 WITH HUMAN SERVICES STAFF [Captioner] 20:33:24 MEMBERS, IN THE FIELD, SO THAT [Captioner] 20:33:25 LAW ENFORCEMENT ACTIVITIES CAN [Captioner] 20:33:28 BE INFORMED BY BEST PRACTICES [Captioner] 20:33:30 FOR ENGAGING WITH INDIVIDUALS [Captioner] 20:33:32 THAT ARE EXPERIENCING [Captioner] 20:33:34 HOMELESSNESS OR MENTAL HEALTH [Captioner] 20:33:34 ISSUES. [Captioner] 20:33:39 WE HAVE A VARIETY OF HUMAN [Captioner] 20:33:43 ELEMENTS -- WHO [Captioner] 20:33:45 I SEE IN THE AUDIENCE, OUR [Captioner] 20:33:47 HUMAN SERVICES DIRECTOR CAN [Captioner] 20:33:49 PROVIDE INFORMATION ABOUT [Captioner] 20:33:52 EXTENSIVE SERVICES THAT ARE [Captioner] 20:33:55 PROVIDED BY THAT DEPARTMENT, AND [Captioner] 20:33:57 OUR HOMELESS SERVICES MANAGER [Captioner] 20:34:02 LAURIE FLOREZ IS ALSO [Captioner] 20:34:05 HERE TO CAPTURE THE KEY POINTS [Captioner] 20:34:05 THAT I MISSED. [Captioner] 20:34:07 >> YOU DID REALLY WELL. [Captioner] 20:34:10 BROADLY SPEAKING, SERVICES IN [Captioner] 20:34:12 THE CITY OF FREMONT ARE ALREADY [Captioner] 20:34:13 CURRENTLY REFLECTED IN THE FIVE [Captioner] 20:34:15 MAIN GOALS, THE MAIN STRATEGIES [Captioner] 20:34:16 OF THE PLAN. [Captioner] 20:34:19 SO WE DO HAVE INTERIM SHELTER, [Captioner] 20:34:23 THE NAVIGATION CENTER, WE HAVE [Captioner] 20:34:26 OUR DOMESTIC VIOLENCE CENTER [Captioner] 20:34:28 AND WE RUN A WINTER RELIEF [Captioner] 20:34:31 PROGRAM WHICH IS ONLY SEASON [Captioner] 20:34:32 AM. [Captioner] 20:34:33 A KEY RECOMMENDATION OF THE PLAN [Captioner] 20:34:35 IS TO EXPAND THAT INTO YEAR [Captioner] 20:34:35 ROUND. [Captioner] 20:34:35 SORRY. [Captioner] 20:34:40 THE MOBILE EVALUATION TEAM BUT [Captioner] 20:34:43 THERE'S MANY OTHER OUTREACH [Captioner] 20:34:43 PROFESSIONALS IN THE COMMUNITY. [Captioner] 20:34:46 AAGAIN ABODE SERVICES PROVIDES [Captioner] 20:34:49 OUTREACH, BAY AREA COMMUNITY [Captioner] 20:34:52 HEALTH, BACS, BAY AREA COMMUNITY [Captioner] 20:34:56 SERVICES, MOST ARE OUR [Captioner] 20:34:58 INVESTMENT SERVICES ARE FOCUSED [Captioner] 20:35:00 ON THESE CRISIS RESPONSE [Captioner] 20:35:01 SERVICES WHERE IT'S SOMEWHAT [Captioner] 20:35:04 MITIGATING AND MANAGING THE [Captioner] 20:35:06 CRISIS OF HOMELESSNESS. [Captioner] 20:35:08 WHETHER IT IS ON THE STREET OR [Captioner] 20:35:09 SHELTER. [Captioner] 20:35:09 SO ANOTHER KEY RECOMMENDATION OF [Captioner] 20:35:12 THE PLAN IS TO EVALUATE OUR [Captioner] 20:35:13 CURRENT INVESTMENTS AND SEE [Captioner] 20:35:17 WHERE WE CAN PUT MORE [Captioner] 20:35:21 EMPHASIS IN PREVENTION AND [Captioner] 20:35:23 REHOUSING PEOPLE. [Captioner] 20:35:26 >> Mayor Salwan: YOU WANT TO [Captioner] 20:35:27 ADD? [Captioner] 20:35:31 >> LONG TERM, WE HAVE AN [Captioner] 20:35:34 EXTENSIVE CONTRACT TO PROVIDES [Captioner] 20:35:35 BAY SERVICES THERE AS WELL. [Captioner] 20:35:36 >> Mayor Salwan: THE WINTER [Captioner] 20:35:38 RELIEF PROGRAM, UNTIL WHEN DOES [Captioner] 20:35:38 THAT LAST? [Captioner] 20:35:40 >> WE ARE CONTRACTED THROUGH THE [Captioner] 20:35:41 END OF MARCH. [Captioner] 20:35:43 >> Mayor Salwan: OH, OKAY. [Captioner] 20:35:44 AND HOW MANY INDIVIDUALS DOES [Captioner] 20:35:45 THAT HOUSE? [Captioner] 20:35:47 >> SO RIGHT NOW WE'RE CONTRACTED [Captioner] 20:35:49 WITH 27 UNITS. [Captioner] 20:35:50 BECAUSE WE SERVE FAMILIES IN [Captioner] 20:35:51 THAT PROGRAM. [Captioner] 20:35:55 IT CAN BE UPWARDS OF 50-PLUS [Captioner] 20:35:55 INDIVIDUALS. [Captioner] 20:35:59 >> Mayor Salwan: AS FOR THE [Captioner] 20:36:02 CHIEF, SO IF THIS IS PASSED, HOW [Captioner] 20:36:04 WILL ENFORCEMENT BE [Captioner] 20:36:04 PRIORITIZED? [Captioner] 20:36:08 IS THERE ORDER OF [Captioner] 20:36:10 PRIORITY HOUSE YOU HANDLE THIS [Captioner] 20:36:12 BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY YOU CAN'T [Captioner] 20:36:14 CRIMINALIZE HOMELESSNESS. [Captioner] 20:36:16 HOW WOULD YOU ADDRESS THAT? [Captioner] 20:36:17 >> Sean Washington: YES, THANK [Captioner] 20:36:18 YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY. [Captioner] 20:36:20 AND MAYOR, COUNCILMEMBERS, CITY [Captioner] 20:36:24 LEADERSHIP, YOU KNOW WITH [Captioner] 20:36:26 CURRENT STAFFING LEVELS IT WILL [Captioner] 20:36:30 BE A CHALLENGE WITH EXIST [Captioner] 20:36:31 STAFFING. [Captioner] 20:36:32 HOWEVER WE CURRENTLY OPERATE [Captioner] 20:36:36 BASED ON A SYSTEM OF [Captioner] 20:36:36 PRIORITIZING AND ASSESSING HARM [Captioner] 20:36:38 TO THE COMMUNITY. [Captioner] 20:36:41 AND THAT CAN BE DEFINED IN MANY [Captioner] 20:36:43 WAYS BUT WE WORK CLOSELY WITH [Captioner] 20:36:48 OUR MET TEAM, HUMAN SERVICES TO [Captioner] 20:36:49 IDENTIFY AREAS THAT WE MAY NEED [Captioner] 20:36:51 TO PRIORITIZE IN ORDER TO ENSURE [Captioner] 20:36:54 THAT THE SAFETY OF THE [Captioner] 20:36:54 COMMUNITY. [Captioner] 20:36:57 SO THAT COULD BE, IF THERE'S A [Captioner] 20:37:00 FIRE HAZARD OR CRIMINAL ACTIVITY [Captioner] 20:37:03 IN CLOSE PROXIMITY TO SCHOOLS, [Captioner] 20:37:04 AND THINGS OF THAT NATURE, THAT [Captioner] 20:37:07 WE ALL ASSESS AND WE AGREE AND [Captioner] 20:37:09 WE POOL OUR RESOURCES TO FOCUS [Captioner] 20:37:12 ON THAT PARTICULAR AREA. [Captioner] 20:37:14 IT'S DIFFICULT AT TIMES BECAUSE [Captioner] 20:37:16 THERE ARE A LOT OF AREAS THAT [Captioner] 20:37:18 COMPETE WITH ONE ANOTHER FOR THE [Captioner] 20:37:19 RESOURCES. [Captioner] 20:37:22 BUT WE ONLY HAVE SO MANY THAT WE [Captioner] 20:37:25 HAVE TO OFTENTIMES MAKE A [Captioner] 20:37:27 JUDGMENT CALL ON HOW TO [Captioner] 20:37:28 PRIORITIZE OUR RESPONSE. [Captioner] 20:37:31 SO THAT WOULD CONTINUE. [Captioner] 20:37:32 >> Mayor Salwan: OKAY. [Captioner] 20:37:34 >> I WOULD ADD TO THAT. [Captioner] 20:37:36 SO LAURIE AND I HAVE HAD SOME [Captioner] 20:37:38 DISCUSSION ABOUT THIS AS WELL. [Captioner] 20:37:40 SO AS THE CHIEF ALLUDED TO, WE [Captioner] 20:37:43 HAVE A WORKING GROUP THAT MEETS [Captioner] 20:37:45 EVERY WEEK WITH SUBJECT MATTER [Captioner] 20:37:47 EXPERTS FROM AROUND THE CITY. [Captioner] 20:37:50 AND LAURIE GENERALLY LEADS A [Captioner] 20:37:54 DISCUSSION OF A PRIORITIZATION [Captioner] 20:37:57 OF INTERVENTION IN A GIVEN [Captioner] 20:37:57 WEEK. [Captioner] 20:37:59 I THINK OUR INTENT, IF THIS DOES [Captioner] 20:38:02 MOVE FORWARD, IN THE ABSENCE OF [Captioner] 20:38:04 ADDITIONAL RESOURCES THAT MAY BE [Captioner] 20:38:06 ALLOCATED DURING THE BUDGET [Captioner] 20:38:12 PROCESS, THERE ARE CLEANING [Captioner] 20:38:15 AND GARBAGE PICKUP SERVICES [Captioner] 20:38:16 THAT ARE, YOU KNOW, CONSTANTLY [Captioner] 20:38:18 SORT OF MOVING AROUND THE CITY, [Captioner] 20:38:20 CLEANING UP AND PICKING UP [Captioner] 20:38:22 GARBAGE AND AT THE MEETING AS [Captioner] 20:38:26 THE CHIEF ALLUDED TO, WE USE [Captioner] 20:38:27 ENCAMPMENT CONDITION GUIDELINES [Captioner] 20:38:30 TO ASSESS WHETHER OR NOT AN [Captioner] 20:38:35 ENCAMPMENT HAS A SPECIFIC [Captioner] 20:38:38 CONDITION, LIKE IT'S A SOURCE [Captioner] 20:38:42 OF A FIRE OR [Captioner] 20:38:45 DEMONSTRABLE WASTE OR [Captioner] 20:38:45 SOMETHING. [Captioner] 20:38:49 AND THE GARBAGE PICKUP OR OTHER [Captioner] 20:38:50 MITIGATION SERVICES ARE INQUAD [Captioner] 20:38:51 TO RESOLVE IT. [Captioner] 20:38:54 AND IN THOSE CIRCUMSTANCES WE DO [Captioner] 20:38:57 EVEN UNDER THE EXISTING RULES [Captioner] 20:39:00 ABATE THOSE ENCAMPMENTS ON [Captioner] 20:39:00 OCCASION. [Captioner] 20:39:02 SO THE INTENT WOULD BE, [Captioner] 20:39:04 PROBABLY, TO ON THE MARGINS DO [Captioner] 20:39:07 MORE OF THAT FOR ENCAMPMENTS [Captioner] 20:39:10 THAT FALL WITHIN VIOLATIONS OF [Captioner] 20:39:12 THE ENCAMPMENT CONDITION [Captioner] 20:39:13 GUIDELINES. [Captioner] 20:39:17 IF THESE -- IF THIS ORDINANCE IS [Captioner] 20:39:18 OWN THE BOOKS AND THERE'S A [Captioner] 20:39:21 CONTINUED EXPECTATION OF [Captioner] 20:39:23 ENFORCEMENT WE WOULD CONTINUE TO [Captioner] 20:39:26 BROADEN THE THRESHOLD FOR [Captioner] 20:39:29 INTERVENTION AS RESOURCES BECAME [Captioner] 20:39:32 AVAILABLE, AND THE THRESHOLD FOR [Captioner] 20:39:34 WHEN AN ENCAMPMENT WOULD BE [Captioner] 20:39:35 DISBANDED WOULD INCREASE OVER [Captioner] 20:39:36 TIME. [Captioner] 20:39:39 HOWEVER, AS WITH THE [Captioner] 20:39:40 HOMELESSNESS RESPONSE PLAN, IT'S [Captioner] 20:39:43 A LONG TERM PROBLEM THAT [Captioner] 20:39:45 DEVELOPED OVER A SUBSTANTIAL [Captioner] 20:39:46 PERIOD OF TIME AND IT'S A [Captioner] 20:39:47 PROBLEM THAT IS GOING TO BE [Captioner] 20:39:49 RESOLVED OVER A LONG PERIOD OF [Captioner] 20:39:53 TIME, IT IS LIKELY TO BE WE [Captioner] 20:39:56 WOULD SAY A MULTIYEAR STRATEGIC [Captioner] 20:40:00 TARGET TO ATTEMPT TO ABATE MORE [Captioner] 20:40:03 ENCAMPMENTS. [Captioner] 20:40:05 >> Mayor Salwan: THANK YOU. [Captioner] 20:40:07 I'LL TURN IT OVER TO [Captioner] 20:40:08 COUNCILMEMBERS FOR QUESTIONS [Captioner] 20:40:10 STARTING WITH COUNCILMEMBER [Captioner] 20:40:10 ZHANG. [Captioner] 20:40:13 ANY OTHER COUNCILMEMBERS HAVE [Captioner] 20:40:14 QUESTIONS, PLEASE PRESS YOUR [Captioner] 20:40:18 REQUEST TO SPEAK. [Captioner] 20:40:23 >> The Clerk: COUNCILMEMBER [Captioner] 20:40:25 SHAO HAD HIS HAND RAISED. [Captioner] 20:40:27 >> Mayor Salwan: WAS HE [Captioner] 20:40:27 FIRST? [Captioner] 20:40:29 >> The Clerk: YES. [Captioner] 20:40:31 >> Mayor Salwan: COUNCILMEMBER [Captioner] 20:40:32 SHAO. [Captioner] 20:40:33 >> Councilmember Shao: THANK [Captioner] 20:40:33 YOU MAYOR. [Captioner] 20:40:35 I HAVE A QUESTION FOR STAFF. [Captioner] 20:40:36 TO THE BEST OF YOUR KNOWLEDGE, [Captioner] 20:40:38 FOR THE NEIGHBORING CITIES, [Captioner] 20:40:39 ESPECIALLY THE CITIES IN THE [Captioner] 20:40:42 EAST BAY IN ALAMEDA COUNTY OR [Captioner] 20:40:44 SPECIFIC, HOW MANY CITIES ARE IN [Captioner] 20:40:48 THE PROCESS OF PASSING [Captioner] 20:40:50 CERTAIN ORDINANCES AND HOW MANY [Captioner] 20:40:53 CITIES HAVE ALREADY PASSED THE [Captioner] 20:40:57 ORDINANCES TO BAN ENCAMPMENTS IN [Captioner] 20:41:01 PUBLIC PLACE? [Captioner] 20:41:03 >> I WILL DO MY BEST TO ANSWER [Captioner] 20:41:05 THAT QUESTION, COUNCILMEMBER, [Captioner] 20:41:09 WITH THE CAVEAT THAT, ONE, [Captioner] 20:41:11 IF NEIGHBORING CITIES ARE [Captioner] 20:41:13 CONTEMPLATING A BAN, WE LIKELY [Captioner] 20:41:15 WOULD NOT HAVE KNOWLEDGE OF THAT [Captioner] 20:41:16 NECESSARILY, AND WE'VE NOT [Captioner] 20:41:17 CONDUCTED A BLANKET SURVEY. [Captioner] 20:41:24 I AM AWARE THAT [Captioner] 20:41:32 NOVATO, ANTIOCH [Captioner] 20:41:37 , SACRAMENTO, AND SUNNYVALE [Captioner] 20:41:41 HAVE SIMILAR BANS IN PLACE [Captioner] 20:41:43 LOCALLY. [Captioner] 20:41:47 THERE ARE OTHER CITIES LIKE [Captioner] 20:41:49 BERKELEY OR SAN RAFAEL THAT HAVE [Captioner] 20:41:53 PASSED WHAT THEY CALLED CAMPING [Captioner] 20:41:57 ORDINANCES BUT THAT ARE [Captioner] 20:41:59 RELATIVELY DISSIMILAR FROM OURS [Captioner] 20:42:04 IN THAT THEY SET DIFFERENT [Captioner] 20:42:07 THRESHOLDS FOR WHEN INTERVENTION [Captioner] 20:42:08 IS APPROPRIATE. [Captioner] 20:42:11 FOR EXAMPLE, BERKELEY INCREASED [Captioner] 20:42:14 THEIR ABILITY TO ABATE [Captioner] 20:42:16 ENCAMPMENTS BUT THEY HAVE A VERY [Captioner] 20:42:18 SIMILAR ENCAMPMENT CONDITION [Captioner] 20:42:20 GUIDELINE TO OURS AND THREE [Captioner] 20:42:23 WOULD ONLY INTERVENE WHEN SOARN [Captioner] 20:42:28 CERTAIN CONDITIONS WERE [Captioner] 20:42:29 TRIGGERED. [Captioner] 20:42:32 THE CITY OF SAN FRANCISCO ALSO [Captioner] 20:42:35 HAS A BAN, BUT THEY AT LEAST [Captioner] 20:42:39 PROFESS THAT THEY OFFER [Captioner] 20:42:40 ALTERNATIVE SHELTER IN ANY [Captioner] 20:42:42 CIRCUMSTANCE IN WHICH THEY [Captioner] 20:42:43 ENFORCE ON AN ENCAMPMENT. [Captioner] 20:42:45 AND I THINK OTHER, SEVERAL OTHER [Captioner] 20:42:47 CITIES ARE IN THAT SITUATION [Captioner] 20:42:49 TOO, WHERE, YOU KNOW, YES THEY [Captioner] 20:42:53 HAVE AN ANTICAMPING BAN BUT THEY [Captioner] 20:42:56 ALSO BELIEVE THAT THEY'RE [Captioner] 20:42:58 OFFERING ADEQUATE BEDS FOR EVERY [Captioner] 20:42:59 HOMELESS PERSON IN THEIR CITY [Captioner] 20:43:00 THAT WANTS ONE. [Captioner] 20:43:07 >> Councilmember Shao: THANK [Captioner] 20:43:08 YOU FOR THE INFORMATION. [Captioner] 20:43:11 I'M SORRY, I SHOULD HAVE [Captioner] 20:43:15 SUBMITTED THIS QUESTION EARLIER [Captioner] 20:43:17 SO THAT YOU'RE NOT TAKEN BY [Captioner] 20:43:19 SURPRISE OR PUT ON THE SPOT. [Captioner] 20:43:23 SO MY SOAK QUESTION IS. [Captioner] 20:43:26 >>> WITH OUR ANNUAL EXPENDITURE [Captioner] 20:43:31 OF CLEANING UP THE [Captioner] 20:43:35 ENVIRONMENT AND ,YOU KNOW, WE [Captioner] 20:43:37 CLEAN OUT THE GARMING, WITH THAT [Captioner] 20:43:42 GARBAGE, WITH [Captioner] 20:43:47 THAT EXPECT HOW MANY CAN WE [Captioner] 20:43:49 HIRE IN THEORY? [Captioner] 20:43:52 >> OUR STAFF THAT MANAGES [Captioner] 20:43:55 NAVMENT CLEANING ACTIVITIES [Captioner] 20:43:56 BELIEVES THAT THIS PROPOSED BAN [Captioner] 20:43:58 WOULD LIKELY INCREASE THE [Captioner] 20:44:01 EXPENSE OF THEIR CONTRACT [Captioner] 20:44:04 BECAUSE ONE, IT WOULD CREATE A [Captioner] 20:44:06 GREATER EXPECTATION FOR [Captioner] 20:44:06 SERVICE. [Captioner] 20:44:09 IT IS HARDER TO -- IT IS EASIER [Captioner] 20:44:12 TO CLEAN AROUND AND THAT, YOU [Captioner] 20:44:14 KNOW, COMPLETELY ABATE, ONE, AND [Captioner] 20:44:16 THEN TWO, THEIR CONCERN IS THAT [Captioner] 20:44:19 IF WE DISPERSE A LARGE [Captioner] 20:44:22 ENCAMPMENT THROUGHOUT THE CITY, [Captioner] 20:44:27 INDIVIDUALS MOVING INTO MANY [Captioner] 20:44:29 SMALL ENCAMPMENTS FROM ONE LARGE [Captioner] 20:44:30 ENCAMPMENT, IT WILL BE MORE [Captioner] 20:44:33 DIFFICULT TO ABATE THEIR [Captioner] 20:44:33 GARBAGE. [Captioner] 20:44:37 SO WHEN I CONSULTED WITH THAT [Captioner] 20:44:39 TEAM, THEY THOUGHT THAT THEIR [Captioner] 20:44:43 COSTS MIGHT GO UP SOMEWHERE [Captioner] 20:44:44 AROUND HALF A MILLION DOLLARS. [Captioner] 20:44:48 IF THIS WAS ENFORCED VIG [Captioner] 20:44:49 VIGOROUSLY. [Captioner] 20:44:51 NOW OBVIOUSLY THAT NUMBER GOES [Captioner] 20:44:54 BACK DOWN IF WE'RE INCREASING [Captioner] 20:44:58 ENFORCEMENT MODESTLY BUT [Captioner] 20:45:03 NOT VIGOROUSLY. [Captioner] 20:45:04 >> Councilmember Shao: FOLLOW [Captioner] 20:45:05 UP QUESTION. [Captioner] 20:45:07 HOW LIKELY WOULD PEOPLE MOVE OUT [Captioner] 20:45:09 OF FREMONT IF FREMONT HAS THIS [Captioner] 20:45:13 ORDINANCE BUT ADJACENT TO CITIES [Captioner] 20:45:16 DON'T HAVE? [Captioner] 20:45:16 >> THAT'S NOT A QUESTION THAT I [Captioner] 20:45:17 CAN ANSWER, COUNCILMEMBER. [Captioner] 20:45:21 I KNOW THAT WHEN A SIMILAR [Captioner] 20:45:23 QUESTION WAS POSED TO THE [Captioner] 20:45:25 CONSULTANT WHO WORKED WITH US ON [Captioner] 20:45:29 OUR HOMELESSNESS RESPONSE PLAN, [Captioner] 20:45:33 THEY GENERALLY ADVISED THAT THEY [Captioner] 20:45:37 UNDERSTOOD FOLKS TO REMAIN [Captioner] 20:45:40 RELATIVELY LOCAL TO -- SOME [Captioner] 20:45:41 CONNECTION TO THE COMMUNITY, [Captioner] 20:45:43 WHAT IT MEANS TO BE A RESIDENT [Captioner] 20:45:46 OF A COMMUNITY IS A VERY SQUISHY [Captioner] 20:45:46 TERM. [Captioner] 20:45:50 HOWEVER, IF YOU HAVE FAMILY IN A [Captioner] 20:45:55 COMMUNITY OR SUPPORT SYSTEM, [Captioner] 20:45:58 OR IT'S JUST WHERE YOU'RE [Captioner] 20:46:01 COMFORTABLE, OUR UNDERSTANDING [Captioner] 20:46:05 IS THAT IS ABOUT AN 80%, 75 TO [Captioner] 20:46:09 80% RETENTION RATE. [Captioner] 20:46:11 BUT IF IT'S NOT NECESSARILY THAT [Captioner] 20:46:12 THEY'RE REMAINING ALWAYS THIS [Captioner] 20:46:15 ONE CITY, IT'S THAT THEY'RE [Captioner] 20:46:16 REMAINING IN THE LOCAL REGION IN [Captioner] 20:46:21 WHICH THEY LAST BECAME HOMELESS [Captioner] 20:46:25 . [Captioner] 20:46:26 >> Councilmember Shao: LAST [Captioner] 20:46:29 QUESTION, IF THE DEFINITION OF [Captioner] 20:46:31 ENCAMPMENT IS LET'S SAY VEHICLE [Captioner] 20:46:35 OR TRAILER OR RV THAT IS NOT, [Captioner] 20:46:37 THAT IS JUST PARKED THERE, WOULD [Captioner] 20:46:41 THAT BE CONSIDERED AN [Captioner] 20:46:42 ENCAMPMENT? [Captioner] 20:46:42 INSTEAD OF TENTS? [Captioner] 20:46:46 OR SOME KIND OF MAKESHIFT [Captioner] 20:46:49 CONSTRUCTION, YOU KNOW LIKE A [Captioner] 20:46:49 STRUCTURE? [Captioner] 20:46:55 WOULD THOSE KIND OF [Captioner] 20:47:01 MOBILIZED VEHICLES BE [Captioner] 20:47:04 CONSIDERED ENCAMPMENTS? [Captioner] 20:47:07 >> THE LANGUAGE IN THE [Captioner] 20:47:13 ENCAMPMENT BAN WOULD APPLY TO [Captioner] 20:47:14 MAYBE MATERIAL THAT WOULD BE [Captioner] 20:47:16 ASSOCIATED OR AROUND THE [Captioner] 20:47:18 VEHICLE. [Captioner] 20:47:21 BUT AN RV PARKED ON THE STREET [Captioner] 20:47:24 WOULD NOT CONSTITUTE CAMPING PER [Captioner] 20:47:25 THIS ORDINANCE. [Captioner] 20:47:27 BUT YOU'LL SEE IN THE ORDINANCE [Captioner] 20:47:29 LANGUAGE THAT IN THE WATERWAYS [Captioner] 20:47:32 SECTION, IT DOES PROHIBIT [Captioner] 20:47:35 VEHICLES FROM BEING ADJACENT TO [Captioner] 20:47:37 WATERWAYS OR IN A PLACE WHERE [Captioner] 20:47:40 VEHICLES SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED [Captioner] 20:47:42 TO GO IN ASSOCIATION WITH AN [Captioner] 20:47:42 ENCAMPMENT. [Captioner] 20:47:49 >> Councilmember Shao: THANK [Captioner] 20:47:50 YOU. [Captioner] 20:47:53 I'LL YIELD MY HAND TO MY FELLOW [Captioner] 20:47:56 COUNCILMEMBERS. [Captioner] 20:47:56 >> Mayor Salwan: COUNCILMEMBER [Captioner] 20:47:57 ZHANG. [Captioner] 20:47:58 >> Councilmember Zhang: THANK [Captioner] 20:48:00 YOU, MAYOR SALWAN. [Captioner] 20:48:04 MY QUESTION IS, LET'S SAY [Captioner] 20:48:07 WE DO THOUGHT DO ANYTHING, AND [Captioner] 20:48:11 WHAT WOULD BE THE MAIN [Captioner] 20:48:16 IMPACT, NEGATIVELY? [Captioner] 20:48:18 AND I WANT TO THANK THE [Captioner] 20:48:20 COMMUNITY MEMBERS TO WRITE ME [Captioner] 20:48:22 AND REACH OUT TO ME ABOUT THEIR [Captioner] 20:48:24 CONCERNS, YOU KNOW, IT IS WINTER [Captioner] 20:48:24 TIME. [Captioner] 20:48:26 AND I APPRECIATE THAT. [Captioner] 20:48:27 BUT ALSO, AT THE SAME TIME, I [Captioner] 20:48:29 ALSO HAVE A DIFFERENT BUSINESS [Captioner] 20:48:31 ENTITY THAT REACH OUT TO ME AS [Captioner] 20:48:31 WELL. [Captioner] 20:48:34 SO I SEE THE BOTH SIDE OF THIS [Captioner] 20:48:34 WHOLE SITUATION. [Captioner] 20:48:37 SO THAT'S WHY I WANT TO ASK [Captioner] 20:48:40 QUESTIONS IF WE DO NOTHING, AND [Captioner] 20:48:42 THEN WHAT WOULD BE THE NEGATIVE [Captioner] 20:48:45 IMPACT, I GUESS AT THIS POINT IT [Captioner] 20:48:47 DOESN'T -- IT DOES NOT HAVE A [Captioner] 20:48:49 NEGATIVE IMPACT TO THE HOMELESS [Captioner] 20:48:49 PEOPLE. [Captioner] 20:48:52 BUT THEN WHAT DOES IT DO TO THE [Captioner] 20:48:52 BUSINESS? [Captioner] 20:48:54 AND YOU MUST ENCOUNTER THAT. [Captioner] 20:48:58 I WANT TO KIND OF KNOW A LITTLE [Captioner] 20:49:00 BIT IN DETAILS AND IF WE DO [Captioner] 20:49:02 SOMETHING ABOUT THIS ORDINANCE [Captioner] 20:49:07 PROPOSAL, AND DOES THIS LEAD TO [Captioner] 20:49:12 PEOPLE LEAVING [Captioner] 20:49:16 THEIR SHELTER, LEAVING IN [Captioner] 20:49:18 WHATEVER THEIR ENCAMPMENT KIND [Captioner] 20:49:21 OF MAKING THE THINGS WORSE, IF [Captioner] 20:49:22 WE IMPLEMENT THIS ORDINANCE, [Captioner] 20:49:24 DOES THAT MAKE THE SITUATION [Captioner] 20:49:25 WORSE FOR THE HOMELESS PEOPLE? [Captioner] 20:49:28 OR WE ARE JUST HAVING MORE TOOLS [Captioner] 20:49:31 TO HELP THE SITUATION? [Captioner] 20:49:32 BECAUSE I SEE THAT YOU MENTION [Captioner] 20:49:35 THAT YOU WANT TO HAVE A [Captioner] 20:49:37 PRIORITY, SO IT DOESN'T MEAN [Captioner] 20:49:39 THAT YOU ARE GOING TO EEN HAVE [Captioner] 20:49:42 THE BANDWIDTH TO ADDRESS THE [Captioner] 20:49:43 WHOLE SITUATION. [Captioner] 20:49:45 YOU'RE GOING TO LOOK AT SOME [Captioner] 20:49:47 REALLY TRICKY, TOUGH SITUATION [Captioner] 20:49:47 TO DEAL WITH FIRST. [Captioner] 20:49:49 SO WHAT WOULD THAT BE? [Captioner] 20:49:53 IS THAT A SAFETY ISSUE, HAZARD, [Captioner] 20:49:55 FIRE, AND THAT WOULD BE YOUR [Captioner] 20:49:56 TOP FOCUS? [Captioner] 20:49:57 I GUESS I'M ASKING TOO MANY [Captioner] 20:49:58 QUESTIONS. [Captioner] 20:50:01 >> WELL, I'LL TRY TO ANSWER THE [Captioner] 20:50:02 FIRST QUESTION FIRST AND THEN [Captioner] 20:50:04 YOU TELL ME IF I GO ASTRAY, [Captioner] 20:50:08 PLEASE. [Captioner] 20:50:12 SO THE [Captioner] 20:50:15 NEGATIVE CONSEQUENCE OF DOING [Captioner] 20:50:19 NOTHING, I THINK THAT THE [Captioner] 20:50:23 PRIMARY MEMBER OF THE COMMUNITY [Captioner] 20:50:27 AS YOU SAY, THE PEOPLE WOULD BE [Captioner] 20:50:30 -- THE HOLE IN THE ENFORCEMENT [Captioner] 20:50:32 DOUGHNUT AT THIS TIME IF YOU [Captioner] 20:50:34 WANT TO CALL IT THAT, IS [Captioner] 20:50:36 ENFORCEMENT AGAINST UNHOUSED [Captioner] 20:50:37 INDIVIDUALS THAT ARE NOT [Captioner] 20:50:39 VIOLATING OUR ENCAMPMENT [Captioner] 20:50:40 MANAGEMENT GUIDELINES. [Captioner] 20:50:44 SO IF THERE IS A DOESN'T OR AN [Captioner] 20:50:47 RV THAT IS OTHERWISE -- A TENT [Captioner] 20:50:50 OR AN RV THAT IS OTHERWISE [Captioner] 20:50:51 COMPLYING WITH OUR RULES OR A [Captioner] 20:50:53 CAR OR JUST AN ENCAMPMENT OR [Captioner] 20:50:56 WHATEVER THAT IS OTHERWISE [Captioner] 20:51:00 COMPLYING WITH THE CITY'S [Captioner] 20:51:01 ENCAMPMENT GUIDELINE BUT A [Captioner] 20:51:03 BUSINESS IS POINTING TO THAT [Captioner] 20:51:05 TENT AND SAYING THAT'S HURTING [Captioner] 20:51:06 MY BUSINESS, PEOPLE DON'T WANT [Captioner] 20:51:08 TO SEE THAT TENT, PEOPLE ARE [Captioner] 20:51:11 AFRAID OF THAT HOMELESS PERSON, [Captioner] 20:51:15 THOSE FOLKS WILL BE UNSATISFIED [Captioner] 20:51:19 THAT THIS DID NOT MOVE FORWARD. [Captioner] 20:51:25 AND THRRT OTHER CIRCUMSTANCES I [Captioner] 20:51:27 THINK IN THE CITY WHERE I [Captioner] 20:51:29 UNDERSTAND THERE ARE DIFFERENT [Captioner] 20:51:31 POINT OF VIEW ON THIS ISSUE AND [Captioner] 20:51:34 DIFFERENT POLITICAL BELIEFS [Captioner] 20:51:37 ABOUT WHAT TO DO WITH THE [Captioner] 20:51:38 HOMELESS POPULATION AND FOLKS [Captioner] 20:51:41 ARE LOOKING FOR MORE VIGOROUS [Captioner] 20:51:42 ENFORCEMENT ON ENCAMPMENTS THAT [Captioner] 20:51:46 ARE OTHERWISE NOT VIOLATING THE [Captioner] 20:51:48 CITY'S ENCAMPMENT CONDITIONS [Captioner] 20:51:49 GUIDELINES. [Captioner] 20:51:51 SO I THINK THAT THOSE ARE THE [Captioner] 20:51:53 FOLKS THAT WILL BE UNSATISFIED [Captioner] 20:51:57 IF NO ACTION IS TAPE. [Captioner] 20:52:00 TAKEN. [Captioner] 20:52:02 WITH RESPECT TO THE FLIRP SIDE [Captioner] 20:52:04 OF THAT, WOULD THERE BE [Captioner] 20:52:06 NEGATIVES TO MOVING INFORMED, ON [Captioner] 20:52:08 THE OPPOSITE SIDE, THE [Captioner] 20:52:10 INDIVIDUALS, THE UNHOUSED [Captioner] 20:52:13 PEOPLE, MEMBERS OF OUR [Captioner] 20:52:16 COMMUNITY, THAT ARE SUBJECT TO [Captioner] 20:52:17 ENFORCEMENT, THAT WEREN'T [Captioner] 20:52:18 SUBJECT TO ENFORCEMENT BEFORE, [Captioner] 20:52:23 WILL BE -- YES, THEY WILL BE [Captioner] 20:52:25 HARMED BY ENFORCEMENT THAT [Captioner] 20:52:28 OCCURS WITHOUT ALTERNATIVE OFFER [Captioner] 20:52:31 OF SHELTER, AND THAT THOSE FOLKS [Captioner] 20:52:33 ARE, YOU KNOW, LIVING IN AN [Captioner] 20:52:35 ENCAMPMENT WHERE THEY'RE [Captioner] 20:52:38 ATTEMPTING TO SORT OF SET DOWN [Captioner] 20:52:40 STABILITY AND THEY WILL BE TOLD [Captioner] 20:52:43 TO MOVE WITHOUT ALTERNATIVE [Captioner] 20:52:47 RESOURCES FOR H OR BENEFITS. [Captioner] 20:52:50 SO THOSE ARE THE TWO PRIMARY [Captioner] 20:52:51 CONSTITUENTS. [Captioner] 20:52:53 WHAT WAS THE SECOND OR THIRD [Captioner] 20:52:56 PART OF THE QUESTION? [Captioner] 20:52:57 >> Councilmember Zhang: I [Captioner] 20:52:59 THINK THAT LET'S SAY IF WE MOVE [Captioner] 20:53:01 FORWARD, WHAT WOULD THE -- WHAT [Captioner] 20:53:03 WOULD BE YOUR PRIORITY? [Captioner] 20:53:06 UNLESS YOU DON'T HAVE ENOUGH [Captioner] 20:53:07 BANDWIDTH AND SO DOES THE POLICE [Captioner] 20:53:09 DEPARTMENT, YOU MUST HAVE A [Captioner] 20:53:11 MATRIX LIKE WHAT KIND OF A [Captioner] 20:53:13 SITUATION, WOULD IT BE THE TOP [Captioner] 20:53:15 PRIORITY TO DEAL WITH FIRST? [Captioner] 20:53:16 SO I'M TRYING TO GET A PICTURE [Captioner] 20:53:20 LIKE WHAT KIND OF PEOPLE, YOU [Captioner] 20:53:22 KNOW, WILL BE ADDRESSED IN THIS [Captioner] 20:53:25 SITUATION FIRST? [Captioner] 20:53:26 >> I CAN HELP ANSWER THAT. [Captioner] 20:53:29 SO WHEN WE HAVE OUR LIKE OUR [Captioner] 20:53:30 ENCAMPMENT CONDITION GUIDELINES, [Captioner] 20:53:32 WE ALSO TRY TO UTILIZE APRIL [Captioner] 20:53:35 ASSESSMENT TOOL AND IT LOOKS -- [Captioner] 20:53:36 I CAN SHARE THE TYPES OF FACTORS [Captioner] 20:53:38 THAT WE ARE LOOKING AT. [Captioner] 20:53:42 ONE MAJOR ONE IS FIRE HAZARD, [Captioner] 20:53:44 WASTE, BIOWASTE, THINGS LIKE [Captioner] 20:53:45 THAT. [Captioner] 20:53:47 WE LOOK AT PUBLIC SAFETY CALLS [Captioner] 20:53:49 FOR SERVICE AND WE LOOK AT IF [Captioner] 20:53:50 THERE ARE ANY INSTANCES OF [Captioner] 20:53:50 CRIME. [Captioner] 20:53:54 WE'RE ALSO LOOKING AT LOCATION. [Captioner] 20:53:56 WHERE IT'S SITUATED. [Captioner] 20:53:58 SO I KNOW THE CONCERN IS AROUND [Captioner] 20:54:00 SCHOOLS OR WITHIN RESIDENTIAL [Captioner] 20:54:03 NEIGHBORHOODS FOR THE RVS. [Captioner] 20:54:05 THE OTHER ONE IS THE PROXIMITY [Captioner] 20:54:07 OF THE ENCAMPMENT ITSELF TO A [Captioner] 20:54:10 DANGER FOR THE ENCAMPMENT, HOW [Captioner] 20:54:11 CLUBHOUSE IS IT TO A RAILROAD [Captioner] 20:54:13 TRACK OR A STEEP SLOPE OR [Captioner] 20:54:14 SOMETHING OF THAT NATURE. [Captioner] 20:54:16 AND KNOWN WITHIN THAT THERE IS [Captioner] 20:54:18 GRADES OF MINOR, MAJOR, MODERATE [Captioner] 20:54:19 RISK. [Captioner] 20:54:21 AND THAT'S HOW WE DETERMINE [Captioner] 20:54:23 WHICH ACTIONS TO TAKE ON WHICH [Captioner] 20:54:25 ENCAMPMENTS AND PRIORITIZING THE [Captioner] 20:54:29 ONES WITH THE MOST FACTORS. [Captioner] 20:54:31 >> ONE OF THE BIGGEST COMMUNITY [Captioner] 20:54:32 TRUSS TRAITIONS THAT, YOU KNOW, [Captioner] 20:54:37 WE'RE PRIVY TO AND YOU ARE TOO [Captioner] 20:54:39 , SINCE YOU GET ALL THE SAME [Captioner] 20:54:40 E-MAILS THAT WE DO OR MANY OF [Captioner] 20:54:41 THEM, IS SOMEONE IN THE [Captioner] 20:54:43 COMMUNITY SAYS, YOU KNOW, I [Captioner] 20:54:45 BELIEVE THAT THESE PEOPLE ARE [Captioner] 20:54:47 COMMITTING CRIMES AND I WANT [Captioner] 20:54:50 THAT ENCAMPMENT MOVED. [Captioner] 20:54:52 AND, YOU KNOW, CRIMINAL BEHAVIOR [Captioner] 20:54:56 IS IN FACT A VIOLATION OF THE [Captioner] 20:54:59 ENCAMPMENT GUIDELINES. [Captioner] 20:55:01 SO IF THERE WAS A SORT OF [Captioner] 20:55:05 FACT-BASED LINK BETWEEN THAT [Captioner] 20:55:08 ENCAMPMENT AND CRIME THAT'S [Captioner] 20:55:12 BEING COMMITTED, THAT WOULD [Captioner] 20:55:14 CONSTITUTE A REASON FOR THAT [Captioner] 20:55:18 ENCAMPMENT TO BE ABATED. [Captioner] 20:55:20 BUT FREQUENTLY, JUST THE BELIEF [Captioner] 20:55:22 THAT THAT ENCAMPMENT IS THE [Captioner] 20:55:23 SOURCE OF CRIME OR THE BELIEF [Captioner] 20:55:25 THAT THAT ENCAMPMENT IS A FIRE [Captioner] 20:55:28 HAZARD WHEN, YOU KNOW, WE'VE HAD [Captioner] 20:55:31 OUR FIRE DEPARTMENT STAFF GO [Captioner] 20:55:33 LOOK AT IT AND THEY'RE TELLING [Captioner] 20:55:36 US NO, IT IS THOUGHT A FIRE [Captioner] 20:55:37 HAZARD, THAT CREATES A LOT OF [Captioner] 20:55:38 FRUSTRATION IN THE COMMUNITY [Captioner] 20:55:39 AND, YOU KNOW, IN THOSE [Captioner] 20:55:41 CIRCUMSTANCES WE GENERALLY SAY [Captioner] 20:55:43 HEY I'M SORRY BUT WE'RE GOING TO [Captioner] 20:55:45 FOCUS OR RESOURCES ELSEWHERE IN [Captioner] 20:55:48 THIS INSTANCE. [Captioner] 20:55:49 AND I GUESS ONE OF THE THINGS [Captioner] 20:55:51 THAT WOULD HAPPEN IF WE PASSED [Captioner] 20:55:55 THE ANTICAMPING ORDINANCE IS, [Captioner] 20:55:56 THOSE AREAS WOULD STILL BE [Captioner] 20:55:58 POTENTIALLY SUBJECT TO [Captioner] 20:55:59 ENFORCEMENT EVEN THOUGH WE DON'T [Captioner] 20:56:02 HAVE A SPECIFIC CAMPING [Captioner] 20:56:03 VIOLATION. [Captioner] 20:56:06 FOR GOOD OR ILL. [Captioner] 20:56:06 >> Councilmember Zhang: ALL [Captioner] 20:56:08 RIGHT, THANK YOU VERY MUCH. [Captioner] 20:56:09 >> Mayor Salwan: SO JUST TO [Captioner] 20:56:10 CLARIFY. [Captioner] 20:56:13 I THINK LAURIE KIND OF EXPLAINED [Captioner] 20:56:14 IT WELL, THAT THERE ARE [Captioner] 20:56:17 INSTANCES, THERE ARE CERTAIN [Captioner] 20:56:19 MATRICES THAT YOU CAN USE, [Captioner] 20:56:23 WHERE THIS FIRE, MAYBE IMPACT TO [Captioner] 20:56:25 WATERWAYS OR OTHER SAFETY ISSUES [Captioner] 20:56:26 THAT WE COULD PRIORITIZE. [Captioner] 20:56:29 IS THAT CORRECT? [Captioner] 20:56:31 >> YES, THAT'S CORRECT. [Captioner] 20:56:32 >> Mayor Salwan: CHIEF ARE [Captioner] 20:56:34 THERE ANY INSTANCES WHERE THIS [Captioner] 20:56:35 COULD BE HELPFUL WITH CERTAIN [Captioner] 20:56:37 TYPES OF INDIVIDUALS THAT ARE [Captioner] 20:56:40 CAUSING CALLS FOR SERVICE, MAYBE [Captioner] 20:56:42 YOU COULD GIVE SOME EXAMPLES. [Captioner] 20:56:43 >> Sean Washington: YES, FROM [Captioner] 20:56:48 MY PERSPECTIVE, I WILL ALSO [Captioner] 20:56:49 SUPPORT HAVING SOME FLEXIBILITY [Captioner] 20:56:50 AND HAVING SOME AUTHORITY TO [Captioner] 20:56:53 WHERE WE CAN QUICKLY RESPOND AND [Captioner] 20:56:55 PIVOT IF, SAY, WE'VE BEEN [Captioner] 20:56:58 TALKING ABOUT A PARTICULAR [Captioner] 20:57:01 ENCAMPMENT THAT MAYBE WE ALL [Captioner] 20:57:05 AGREE THAT NEEDS SOME FORMAT. [Captioner] 20:57:07 HOWEVER, SOMETHING MAY COME UP [Captioner] 20:57:08 VERY QUICKLY THAT WE NEED TO, [Captioner] 20:57:12 BEFORE THE COMMITTEE OR THE [Captioner] 20:57:13 GROUP CAN MEET, AND THAT'S [Captioner] 20:57:15 ALWAYS NICE TO HAVE FLEXIBILITY [Captioner] 20:57:19 FOR MY OFFICERS OR WHOEVER FROM [Captioner] 20:57:21 MY STAFF IS CHARGED WITH [Captioner] 20:57:23 FOLLOWING UP, TO BE ABLE TO [Captioner] 20:57:24 RESPOND. [Captioner] 20:57:26 SO IT ALLOWS FLEXIBILITY, ALLOWS [Captioner] 20:57:28 US TO BE A LITTLE BIT MORE [Captioner] 20:57:30 NIMBLE IN OUR RESPONSE AS WE [Captioner] 20:57:31 CAN. [Captioner] 20:57:34 SO IT'S NOT GOING TO BE A [Captioner] 20:57:36 SIGNIFICANT WAVE OF INCREASED [Captioner] 20:57:38 ENFORCEMENT, HOWEVER, THAT [Captioner] 20:57:39 FLEXIBILITY DOES HAVE VALUE FOR [Captioner] 20:57:41 ME AS A POLICE CHIEF. [Captioner] 20:57:43 >> Mayor Salwan: SO IT'S LIKE [Captioner] 20:57:46 ONE MORE TOOL IN YOUR TOOL KIT? [Captioner] 20:57:48 >> Sean Washington: CORRECT. [Captioner] 20:57:50 >> Mayor Salwan: AND I ASSUME [Captioner] 20:57:54 THE OBJECTIVE IS TO GAIN [Captioner] 20:57:55 COMPLIANCE? [Captioner] 20:57:56 >> Sean Washington: TO GAIN [Captioner] 20:58:01 COMPLIANCE, IF THERE IS AN [Captioner] 20:58:03 OUTCOME FOR THAT PARTICULAR [Captioner] 20:58:04 SITUATION WE ALWAYS START WITH [Captioner] 20:58:05 TRYING TO GAIN COMPLIANCE. [Captioner] 20:58:07 >> Mayor Salwan: SO HOW WILL [Captioner] 20:58:09 WE TRAIN THE OFFICERS TO [Captioner] 20:58:11 APPROACH THESE INDIVIDUALS? [Captioner] 20:58:12 >> Sean Washington: I DON'T [Captioner] 20:58:15 THINK OUR TRAINING IS GOING TO [Captioner] 20:58:16 DIFFER FROM WHAT WE DO ALREADY. [Captioner] 20:58:19 THE OFFICERS DO A GREAT JOB [Captioner] 20:58:20 ENGAGING AND CONTACTING [Captioner] 20:58:21 INDIVIDUALS. [Captioner] 20:58:23 WE UNDERSTAND THE DIFFICULTIES [Captioner] 20:58:24 OF HOMELESSNESS. [Captioner] 20:58:27 AND THE CHALLENGES THAT TOAKS [Captioner] 20:58:28 MAY HAVE. [Captioner] 20:58:31 SO WE HAVE A CERTAIN LEVEL OF [Captioner] 20:58:33 COMPASSION EMBEDDED IN OUR [Captioner] 20:58:34 RESPONSE AS A FOUNDATION. [Captioner] 20:58:36 HOWEVER, IT'S WHEN THAT TIPPING [Captioner] 20:58:39 POINT HAPPENS, WHEN IT STARTS TO [Captioner] 20:58:40 HAVE A NEGATIVE IMPACT TO THE [Captioner] 20:58:42 COMMUNITY WHERE THERE'S A CRIME [Captioner] 20:58:44 OR THERE'S A DANGER TO THE [Captioner] 20:58:46 COMMUNITY IN WHICH WE'RE GOING [Captioner] 20:58:48 TO HAVE TO GAIN COMPLIANCE AT [Captioner] 20:58:49 THAT PARTICULAR MOMENT. [Captioner] 20:58:51 AND SO I THINK OUR SISTERS ARE [Captioner] 20:58:52 WELL VERSED ON THAT. [Captioner] 20:58:54 THERE MAY BE A LITTLE BIT MORE [Captioner] 20:58:57 TRAINING ASSOCIATED WITH, YOU [Captioner] 20:58:59 KNOW, IF THIS ORDINANCE DOES GO [Captioner] 20:59:01 THROUGH AND REMINDERS OF LIKE [Captioner] 20:59:04 THE GRANTS PASS DECISIONS AND [Captioner] 20:59:05 THOSE TYPES OF THINGS BUT [Captioner] 20:59:07 THEY'VE BEEN TRAINED UP ON THAT [Captioner] 20:59:08 ALREADY. [Captioner] 20:59:08 >> Mayor Salwan: THANK YOU [Captioner] 20:59:09 CHIEF. [Captioner] 20:59:12 I'LL GO OVER TO VICE MAYOR [Captioner] 20:59:14 CAMPBELL. [Captioner] 20:59:15 >> Vice Mayor Campbell: THANK [Captioner] 20:59:15 YOU. [Captioner] 20:59:17 PROBABLY BE A LOT OF QUESTIONS [Captioner] 20:59:18 ON THIS AND I KNOW WE HAVE QUITE [Captioner] 20:59:20 A FEW SPEAKERS. [Captioner] 20:59:23 BUT I WANTED TO UNDERSTAND: IF [Captioner] 20:59:26 WHAT WE'RE DOING RIGHT NOW IS, [Captioner] 20:59:28 YOU GOT YOUR MATRIX AND YOU'VE [Captioner] 20:59:32 GOT YOUR PRIORITIES. [Captioner] 20:59:34 WHAT WOULD THIS ORDINANCE DO [Captioner] 20:59:36 DIFFERENT OR BE DIFFERENT? [Captioner] 20:59:38 BECAUSE THEN IT WOULD BE ALL [Captioner] 20:59:39 INCLUSIVE OF PEOPLE WHO MAY NOT [Captioner] 20:59:43 BE CAUSING ANY HARM OR FIRES OR [Captioner] 20:59:44 ANY OF THE DANGERS THAT YOU [Captioner] 20:59:46 MENTIONED. [Captioner] 20:59:48 SO IT WOULD JUST REALLY ALLOW [Captioner] 20:59:51 YOU TO BE ABLE TO EXPAND WHAT [Captioner] 20:59:52 YOU ARE CURRENTLY DOING IF [Captioner] 20:59:54 POSSIBLE. [Captioner] 20:59:55 AM I UNDERSTANDING THAT [Captioner] 20:59:57 CORRECTLY? [Captioner] 21:00:00 >> SO THE CHIEF RAISED IT AND [Captioner] 21:00:01 I'M GLAD YOU GAVE ME THE [Captioner] 21:00:03 OPPORTUNITY TO CIRCLE BACK ON [Captioner] 21:00:06 THIS, VICE MAYOR. [Captioner] 21:00:08 THE TRANSITION WOULD BE, YOU [Captioner] 21:00:10 KNOW, LIKELY AS THE POLICE [Captioner] 21:00:14 DEPARTMENT STAFFS UP, [Captioner] 21:00:20 THERE ARE MORE RESOURCES OR [Captioner] 21:00:22 ENCAMPMENTS WOULD GO FROM A SORT [Captioner] 21:00:24 OF CENTRALIZED, YOU KNOW THE [Captioner] 21:00:25 COMMITTEE IS SITTING AROUND [Captioner] 21:00:27 LOOKING AT, YOU KNOW, WHICH [Captioner] 21:00:29 ENCAMPMENTS QUALIFY, ET CETERA. [Captioner] 21:00:32 AND WOULD MOVE OVER INTO MORE OF [Captioner] 21:00:33 THE LAW ENFORCEMENT FIELD. [Captioner] 21:00:35 AND THEREFORE WOULD BE MORE OF A [Captioner] 21:00:37 COMPLAINT BASED SYSTEM. [Captioner] 21:00:41 AND WOULD, FOR BETTER OR WORSE, [Captioner] 21:00:42 CREATE ADDITIONAL EXPECTATIONS [Captioner] 21:00:44 ON THE POLICE DEPARTMENT TO [Captioner] 21:00:45 SIMPLY RESPOND TO THOSE CALLS [Captioner] 21:00:46 FOR SERVICE. [Captioner] 21:00:47 BECAUSE THERE WOULD NOT IN THAT [Captioner] 21:00:50 CIRCUMSTANCE BE OBLIGATED TO [Captioner] 21:00:52 FIGURE OUT WHETHER OR NOT THE [Captioner] 21:00:54 ENCAMPMENT WAS THE CONDITION [Captioner] 21:00:55 VIOLATION. [Captioner] 21:00:57 SO THAT'S AN IMPORTANT POINT TO [Captioner] 21:00:58 NOTE. [Captioner] 21:01:02 >> Vice Mayor Campbell: OKAY [Captioner] 21:01:05 SO HOW ARE YOU DEFINING [Captioner] 21:01:06 ENCAMPMENT? [Captioner] 21:01:09 THIS ORDINANCE, IT COULD BE AN [Captioner] 21:01:11 INDIVIDUAL WHO WAS -- WE KNOW WE [Captioner] 21:01:12 HAVE SOME INDIVIDUALS WOULD JUST [Captioner] 21:01:15 SLEEP ON THE -- THEY HAVE [Captioner] 21:01:15 TENTS. [Captioner] 21:01:17 THEY'RE NOT FAMILIES, IT IS JUST [Captioner] 21:01:19 ONE INDIVIDUAL THAT'S IN A TENT [Captioner] 21:01:21 THAT HAS BEEN THERE FOR A [Captioner] 21:01:21 WHILE. [Captioner] 21:01:24 I MEAN THEY POP UP AND POP [Captioner] 21:01:24 DOWN. [Captioner] 21:01:26 SO HOW ARE WE DEFINING [Captioner] 21:01:27 ENCAMPMENTS? [Captioner] 21:01:28 I'D LIKE TO JUST BE ABLE TO [Captioner] 21:01:29 SEPARATE THE TWO. [Captioner] 21:01:33 SO THAT WE'RE NOT -- WE'RE NOT [Captioner] 21:01:36 THINKING INDIVIDUAL FAMILIES OR [Captioner] 21:01:38 WHO MAY FOR SOME REASON HAVE TO [Captioner] 21:01:43 SLEEP IN THEIR CAR OVERNIGHT, [Captioner] 21:01:45 AND JUST SO HAPPENS SOMEBODY [Captioner] 21:01:47 SAID, SOMEBODY IS OUTSIDE, [Captioner] 21:01:49 SLEEPING IN THEIR CAR AND THEN [Captioner] 21:01:51 WE RESPOND AND ENFORCE UNFAIRLY, [Captioner] 21:01:53 PERHAPS, ON THAT FAMILY THAT MAY [Captioner] 21:01:58 HAVE JUST HAD A ROUGH TIME, OR [Captioner] 21:02:00 DOMESTIC VIOLENCE OR SOME OTHER [Captioner] 21:02:06 SITUATION THAT MAY OCCUR. [Captioner] 21:02:07 >> THOSE FOLKS WOULD BE SUBJECT [Captioner] 21:02:09 TO THIS ORDINANCE. [Captioner] 21:02:11 CAMP FACILITIES INCLUDES BUT IS [Captioner] 21:02:14 NOTE LIMITED, TENTS, HUTS, [Captioner] 21:02:17 VEHICLES, AND CAMPS IS DEFINED [Captioner] 21:02:20 AS TO PLACE PITCH OR OCCUPY CAMP [Captioner] 21:02:23 FACILITIES OR LIVE TEMPORARILY [Captioner] 21:02:27 IN A CAMP FACILITY OUTDOORS OR [Captioner] 21:02:30 TO USE CAMP PARAPHERNALIA. [Captioner] 21:02:32 >> Vice Mayor Campbell: THAT'S [Captioner] 21:02:33 CAMP. [Captioner] 21:02:34 THE LANGUAGE I'M HEARING IS [Captioner] 21:02:35 ENCAMPMENT. [Captioner] 21:02:38 WHAT IS DEFINED AS AN [Captioner] 21:02:38 ENCAMPMENT? [Captioner] 21:02:41 IS THAT LIKE DOZENS OF PEOPLE [Captioner] 21:02:41 LIVING TOGETHER? [Captioner] 21:02:42 OR -- [Captioner] 21:02:43 >> NO, THERE IS NO -- IT COULD [Captioner] 21:02:45 BE A SINGLE INDIVIDUAL. [Captioner] 21:02:46 >> Vice Mayor Campbell: ONE [Captioner] 21:02:48 INDIVIDUAL COULD CREATE AN [Captioner] 21:02:50 ENCAMPMENT? [Captioner] 21:02:53 >> I KNOW WE TALKED A LOT ABOUT [Captioner] 21:02:54 ENCAMPMENTS OVER THE COURSE OF [Captioner] 21:02:55 THIS DISCUSSION. [Captioner] 21:02:58 BUT THE POINT OF THIS [Captioner] 21:03:00 RECOMMENDATION, THIS ORDINANCE [Captioner] 21:03:02 IS A CAMPING BAN. [Captioner] 21:03:05 SO TO ALLEN'S POINT, YOU KNOW IT [Captioner] 21:03:08 COULD BE ONE PERSON CAMPING. [Captioner] 21:03:09 AND AS HE DISCUSSED A MOMENT [Captioner] 21:03:11 AGO, YOU ASKED THE QUESTION [Captioner] 21:03:12 ABOUT WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE [Captioner] 21:03:14 BETWEEN WHAT WE'RE DOING NOW AND [Captioner] 21:03:16 WHAT THIS WOULD MEAN. [Captioner] 21:03:19 SO HE RESPONDED BY SAYING, IN [Captioner] 21:03:21 THIS CASE IT COULD BE MORE [Captioner] 21:03:23 COMPLAINT DRIVEN. [Captioner] 21:03:24 AND THE POLICE DEPARTMENT WOULD [Captioner] 21:03:26 RESPOND TO THOSE THINGS. [Captioner] 21:03:29 AND SO IT COULD BE AN INDIVIDUAL [Captioner] 21:03:31 WHO HAS A TENT PLACED IN FRONT [Captioner] 21:03:33 OF A SUPERMARKET. [Captioner] 21:03:34 OR SOME OTHER STORE. [Captioner] 21:03:38 SO IT'S NOT NECESSARILY ABOUT [Captioner] 21:03:38 ENCAMPMENTS. [Captioner] 21:03:42 IT'S ABOUT PROVIDING THE STAFF [Captioner] 21:03:45 WITH TOOLS TO, YOU KNOW, ADDRESS [Captioner] 21:03:48 CERTAIN SITUATIONS THAT, YOU [Captioner] 21:03:50 KNOW, WE GET COMPLAINTS ABOUT OR [Captioner] 21:03:52 THAT ARE CREATING A NUISANCE [Captioner] 21:03:53 SITUATION. [Captioner] 21:03:58 ALSO, AS DISCUSSED EARLIER, [Captioner] 21:04:00 YOU KNOW, IT'S NO SECRET THAT [Captioner] 21:04:03 WE DON'T HAVE THE RESOURCES TO, [Captioner] 21:04:04 YOU KNOW, GO OUT IN THE [Captioner] 21:04:08 COMMUNITY AND DO A SWEEP OF THE [Captioner] 21:04:09 UNSHELTERED. [Captioner] 21:04:12 AND THAT'S NOT THE INTENT OF [Captioner] 21:04:13 THIS ANYWAY. [Captioner] 21:04:15 THE INTENT, AGAIN AS THE MAYOR [Captioner] 21:04:17 SAID, IS TO PROVIDE THE STAFF [Captioner] 21:04:19 WITH TOOLS TO ADDRESS SOME OF [Captioner] 21:04:25 THE MORE I'LL SAY NUISANCE [Captioner] 21:04:28 SITUATIONS FOR LACK OF A BETTER [Captioner] 21:04:30 WORD, THAT WE ALL HEAR ABOUT [Captioner] 21:04:32 REPEATEDLY. [Captioner] 21:04:35 ALAN STARTED OFF THE [Captioner] 21:04:37 PRESENTATION BY -- SOMEONE ASKED [Captioner] 21:04:40 THE QUESTION I THINK IT WAS THE [Captioner] 21:04:41 MAYOR ASKING ABOUT WHAT SERVICES [Captioner] 21:04:42 WE CURRENTLY PROVIDE. [Captioner] 21:04:43 AND AS YOU HEARD THERE ARE A [Captioner] 21:04:46 LITANY OF SERVICES THAT WE [Captioner] 21:04:47 CURRENTLY PROVIDE AND WE WILL [Captioner] 21:04:48 STILL PROVIDE THOSE SERVICES. [Captioner] 21:04:51 THE NUMBER 1 SERVICE THAT WE'D [Captioner] 21:04:54 LOVE TO BE ABLE TO PROVIDE, AND [Captioner] 21:04:54 WE CONTINUE TO LOOK FOR [Captioner] 21:04:57 OPPORTUNITIES FOR THIS, IS [Captioner] 21:04:58 HOUSING, IS SHELTER. [Captioner] 21:05:01 THAT'S THE NUMBER 1 SOLUTION AS [Captioner] 21:05:03 WE ALL KNOW. [Captioner] 21:05:07 YOU KNOW, TO ADDRESSING THIS [Captioner] 21:05:09 CRISIS OF HOMELESSNESS. [Captioner] 21:05:11 SO, YOU KNOW, WE HAVE A COUPLE [Captioner] 21:05:14 OF DIFFERENT THINGS THAT WE'RE [Captioner] 21:05:14 WORKING WITH. [Captioner] 21:05:17 WE HAVE THE SERVICES THAT WE'RE [Captioner] 21:05:18 CURRENTLY PROVIDING BUT, YOU [Captioner] 21:05:20 KNOW, THIS CAMPING BAN WOULD [Captioner] 21:05:22 ALSO PROVIDE A TOOL TO ADDRESS [Captioner] 21:05:25 SOME OF THE MORE DIFFICULT OR [Captioner] 21:05:27 COMPLEX COMPLAINTS THAT WE GET [Captioner] 21:05:32 THAT, AS ALLEN DESCRIBED AS A [Captioner] 21:05:34 HOLE IN THE DOUGHNUT WE HAVEN'T [Captioner] 21:05:36 BEEN ABLE TO ADDRESS AS OF [Captioner] 21:05:37 LATE. [Captioner] 21:05:37 >> Vice Mayor Campbell: BUT [Captioner] 21:05:38 YOU'RE ALREADY DOING THAT NOW. [Captioner] 21:05:40 SO THAT'S WHAT I'M TRYING TO [Captioner] 21:05:42 WRAP MY HEAD AROUND IS THAT [Captioner] 21:05:45 WE'RE ALREADY RESPONDING TO [Captioner] 21:05:47 COMPLAINT BASED SITUATIONS. [Captioner] 21:05:49 WE GET E-MAILS ALL THE TIME, AND [Captioner] 21:05:51 WE RESPOND TO THOSE. [Captioner] 21:05:53 I MEAN WE COULD LOOK AT WHAT [Captioner] 21:05:55 HAPPENED IN IRVINGTON, FOR [Captioner] 21:05:57 EXAMPLE, AND WHAT'S HAPPENING UP [Captioner] 21:06:00 IN NORTH FREMONT FOR EXAMPLE. [Captioner] 21:06:02 WE RESPOND TO THOSE PROACTIVITY [Captioner] 21:06:07 OR REACTIVELY WHICHEVER ONE [Captioner] 21:06:07 . [Captioner] 21:06:09 BUT WE'RE ALREADY DOING THAT. [Captioner] 21:06:11 I THINK MY CONCERN WITH THIS, [Captioner] 21:06:13 AND I KNOW THIS IS QUESTION TIME [Captioner] 21:06:16 NOT COMMENT TIME BUT IS THAT IF [Captioner] 21:06:18 WE'RE ALREADY DOING IT, AND WE [Captioner] 21:06:22 DON'T WANT TO REALLY IMPACT [Captioner] 21:06:23 ADDITIONAL FAMILIES [Captioner] 21:06:25 UNNECESSARILY, BY HAVING THIS [Captioner] 21:06:28 TOOL IN OUR TOOL KIT, WHY ARE WE [Captioner] 21:06:30 DOING IT? [Captioner] 21:06:33 WHAT -- WHAT BENEFITS WOULD IT [Captioner] 21:06:34 GIVE US IF WE'RE ALREADY DOING [Captioner] 21:06:37 WHAT WE'RE DOING, AND IT SEEMS [Captioner] 21:06:39 TO BE SOMEWHAT WORKING? [Captioner] 21:06:41 AND IF WE ADD MORE WE NEED MORE [Captioner] 21:06:44 RESOURCES, WE NEED MORE MONEY, [Captioner] 21:06:45 WE NEED -- AND IT'S NOT [Captioner] 21:06:47 COMPLETELY BROKEN. [Captioner] 21:06:48 >> Mayor Salwan: VICE MAYOR [Captioner] 21:06:49 MAYBE SO IT'S AN ORDINANCE. [Captioner] 21:06:50 MAYBE DOES THE CITY ATTORNEY [Captioner] 21:06:52 WANT TO WEIGH IN HOW THIS [Captioner] 21:06:53 PROTECTS THE CITY OR WHAT THE [Captioner] 21:06:58 BENEFITS ARE OF THIS ORDINANCE? [Captioner] 21:07:10 OF RSTLEDZ, THE TRAIL WORK IS IT [Captioner] 21:07:12 DIFFERS FROM WHAT WE CURRENTLY [Captioner] 21:07:14 DO IN THE SENSE THAT IT LOWERS [Captioner] 21:07:17 THE THRESHOLD OF ENFORCEMENT. [Captioner] 21:07:18 IT BASICALLY ALLOWS THE CITY TO [Captioner] 21:07:21 -- IT DEFINES A PROHIBITION [Captioner] 21:07:23 WHICH IS YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO [Captioner] 21:07:25 CAMP ON PUBLIC RIGHT OF WAYS. [Captioner] 21:07:27 AND THE CITY DOES IF ADOPTED THE [Captioner] 21:07:28 CITY WOULD NOT HAVE TO PERFORM [Captioner] 21:07:30 AN ANALYSIS OF WHETHER THERE IS [Captioner] 21:07:32 HEALTH AND SAFETY HAZARD OCEAN [Captioner] 21:07:34 AROUND THAT TENT, AND CONSIDER [Captioner] 21:07:36 ALL THE OTHER FACTORS THAT IT [Captioner] 21:07:37 CURRENTLY DOES NOW WHEN IT [Captioner] 21:07:39 EVALUATES WHETHER TO ENFORCE A [Captioner] 21:07:39 PARTICULAR SITE. [Captioner] 21:07:42 AND IT WOULDN'T BE REQUIRED TO [Captioner] 21:07:43 FOCUS ON ENCAMPMENTS THAT MIGHT [Captioner] 21:07:46 BE A VARIETY OF INDIVIDUALS [Captioner] 21:07:49 RESIDING WITHIN CLOSE PROXIMITY [Captioner] 21:07:51 THAT COULD BE CREATING HEALTH [Captioner] 21:07:53 AND SAFETY CONCERNS. [Captioner] 21:07:55 IT BASICALLY PROHIBITS CAMPING [Captioner] 21:07:57 ON PUBLIC RIGHTS OF WAYS. [Captioner] 21:08:00 BECAUSE IT'S DEFINITIONAL, [Captioner] 21:08:02 SIMPLY BEING IN A PUBLIC [Captioner] 21:08:03 RIGHT-OF-WAY AND HAVING THE [Captioner] 21:08:05 FACILITIES TO CAMP THAT ACTION [Captioner] 21:08:08 ITSELF IS PROHIBITED UNDER THIS [Captioner] 21:08:09 ORDINANCE. [Captioner] 21:08:11 >> Mayor Salwan: AND DOES IT [Captioner] 21:08:13 REDUCE THE CITY'S LIABILITY IN [Captioner] 21:08:16 CASE OF ENFORCEMENT? [Captioner] 21:08:16 >> Cty. Attny. Alvarado: THE [Captioner] 21:08:19 LAW HAS CHANGED AS ALLEN [Captioner] 21:08:21 MENTIONED, THE SUPREME COURT [Captioner] 21:08:24 COURT ESSENTIALLY RULED IN THE [Captioner] 21:08:26 GRANTS PASS CASE THAT CITIES [Captioner] 21:08:27 HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO TAKE THE [Captioner] 21:08:29 ACTION THAT THE COUNCIL IS [Captioner] 21:08:31 CONSIDERING THIS EVENING SO IT [Captioner] 21:08:33 WOULD NOT CREATE ANY ADDITIONAL [Captioner] 21:08:36 LIABILITIES UNDER THE EXISTING [Captioner] 21:08:37 SUPREME COURT PRECEDENT THAT WAS [Captioner] 21:08:38 SET THIS SUMMER. [Captioner] 21:08:39 >> Mayor Salwan: ANYTHING [Captioner] 21:08:40 FURTHER, COUNCILMEMBER? [Captioner] 21:08:41 OKAY. [Captioner] 21:08:44 NEXT WE HAVE COUNCILMEMBER [Captioner] 21:08:44 KIMBERLIN. [Captioner] 21:08:45 >> Councilmember Kimberlin: I [Captioner] 21:08:48 DON'T KNOW WHO I ASK THIS [Captioner] 21:08:50 QUESTION OF, PERHAPS IT IS THE [Captioner] 21:08:51 CITY MANAGER. [Captioner] 21:08:55 WHY IS IT SUGGESTED TO WAIVE THE [Captioner] 21:09:00 FIRST READING? [Captioner] 21:09:02 >> Karena Shackelford: THE [Captioner] 21:09:03 CITY ATTORNEY WILL RESPOND TO [Captioner] 21:09:05 THAT. [Captioner] 21:09:06 >> Cty. Attny. Alvarado: SO [Captioner] 21:09:08 UNDER STATE LAW, TYPICALLY [Captioner] 21:09:10 YOU'RE REQUIRED TO READ THE [Captioner] 21:09:11 WHOLE ORDINANCE INTO THE [Captioner] 21:09:12 RECORD. [Captioner] 21:09:13 UNLESS THE CITY COUNCIL, BY [Captioner] 21:09:16 MOTION, WAIVES THE FIRST [Captioner] 21:09:16 READING. [Captioner] 21:09:18 WHICH MEANS, ALL WE HAVE TO DO [Captioner] 21:09:19 IS READ THE TITLE INTO THE [Captioner] 21:09:20 RECORD AND THAT WOULD BE [Captioner] 21:09:22 SUFFICIENT TO THE LEGAL [Captioner] 21:09:23 REQUIREMENTS. [Captioner] 21:09:25 IT'S THE PRACTICE OF THE CITY OF [Captioner] 21:09:27 FREMONT TO WAIVE THE FIRST [Captioner] 21:09:28 READING FOR ALL OF ITS [Captioner] 21:09:28 ORDINANCES. [Captioner] 21:09:31 IN FACT IF YOU LOOK AT THE FIRST [Captioner] 21:09:32 ITEM UNDER YOUR CONSENT [Captioner] 21:09:34 CALENDAR, THAT CONSENT CALENDAR [Captioner] 21:09:36 ACTION IS INTENDED TO RELIEVE [Captioner] 21:09:40 THE COUNCIL OF THIS [Captioner] 21:09:40 REQUIREMENT. [Captioner] 21:09:41 SO WE DON'T HAVE TO READ EVERY [Captioner] 21:09:43 SINGLE WORD IN EVERY ORDINANCE [Captioner] 21:09:43 THAT'S ADOPTED. [Captioner] 21:09:45 WE CAN SIMPLY READ THE TITLE OF [Captioner] 21:09:46 THE ORDINANCE. [Captioner] 21:09:48 AND THIS IS OF COURSE ACCEPTABLE [Captioner] 21:09:50 BECAUSE IN ADDITION TO THE [Captioner] 21:09:52 COUNCIL AUTHORIZING IT, WE [Captioner] 21:09:53 ACTUALLY PROVIDE THE PUBLIC A [Captioner] 21:09:55 COPY OF THE ORDINANCE ITSELF. [Captioner] 21:09:57 SO THE PUBLIC IS AWARE OF WHAT [Captioner] 21:09:59 THE LANGUAGE SAYS BECAUSE WE [Captioner] 21:10:01 ACTUALLY PROVIDE THE LEGISLATION [Captioner] 21:10:04 ITSELF FOR PUBLIC REVIEW. [Captioner] 21:10:08 >> Councilmember Kimberlin: I [Captioner] 21:10:09 WAS MISUNDERSTANDING THAT SO [Captioner] 21:10:13 THANK YOU FOR CLARIFYING. [Captioner] 21:10:13 >> Mayor Salwan: COUNCILMEMBER [Captioner] 21:10:14 LIU. [Captioner] 21:10:15 >> Councilmember Liu: THANK [Captioner] 21:10:16 YOU, MAYOR. [Captioner] 21:10:17 MY QUESTION GOES BACK TO THE [Captioner] 21:10:18 PLATE TRICK WE'RE TALKING [Captioner] 21:10:19 ABOUT. [Captioner] 21:10:20 A LOT OF IT WAS ANSWERED TO YOU [Captioner] 21:10:21 GUYS IN RESPONSE TO THE [Captioner] 21:10:23 QUESTIONS MY COLLEAGUES HAD. [Captioner] 21:10:24 BUT THE MAIN THING THAT I WANT [Captioner] 21:10:27 TO ASK IS SO YOU GUYS MENTIONED [Captioner] 21:10:29 THAT YOU GUYS RESPOND TO [Captioner] 21:10:31 ENCAMPMENTS OR PEOPLE CAMPING [Captioner] 21:10:34 BASED ON SEVERAL SET OF TARGETS, [Captioner] 21:10:37 RIGHT, AND YOU MENTIONED FOR [Captioner] 21:10:39 EXAMPLE FOR FIRE SAFETY, YOU [Captioner] 21:10:40 SEND IDENTITY THE FIRE [Captioner] 21:10:42 DEPARTMENT TO ASSESS THE RISK OF [Captioner] 21:10:44 FIRE HAZARDS AND STUFF THAT I [Captioner] 21:10:45 COMPLETELY UNDERSTAND. [Captioner] 21:10:46 BUT YOU MENTIONED SOMETHING LIKE [Captioner] 21:10:49 I THINK A FACT BASED LINK [Captioner] 21:10:49 TOWARDS CRIME. [Captioner] 21:10:51 HOW DO YOU GUYS DETERMINE [Captioner] 21:10:54 WHETHER THERE HAS BEEN A CRIME? [Captioner] 21:10:55 YOU KNOW, IF YOU KNOW A CAMP IS [Captioner] 21:10:56 SAFE OR NOT? [Captioner] 21:11:00 DOES THAT MEAN MEAN REPORT STYLE [Captioner] 21:11:02 BY THE POLICE BY PEOPLE OF THE [Captioner] 21:11:05 PUBLIC OR THEY WITNESSED A CRIME [Captioner] 21:11:06 SO -- YEAH. [Captioner] 21:11:11 >> THE NET SERGEANT, THE [Captioner] 21:11:13 SERGEANT THAT RESPONDS MOST [Captioner] 21:11:15 PRIMARILY TO HOMELESS RELATED [Captioner] 21:11:18 CONCERNS IS OWN OUR HOMELESS [Captioner] 21:11:19 WORKING GROUP AND WHEN WE [Captioner] 21:11:24 DISCUSS A POTENTIAL ENCAMPMENT [Captioner] 21:11:26 ABATEMENT, WE WOULD LOOK TO HER [Captioner] 21:11:28 REGARDING WHETHER OR NOT THERE [Captioner] 21:11:29 IS A CRIME LINK. [Captioner] 21:11:31 I DON'T KNOW CHIEF IS THAT [Captioner] 21:11:32 ANYTHING YOU'D WANT TO ADD TO [Captioner] 21:11:34 THAT? [Captioner] 21:11:35 >> Sean Washington: YES, IN [Captioner] 21:11:37 ADDITION TO RELYING ON OUR MET [Captioner] 21:11:38 SERGEANT WE ALSO WILL DO AN [Captioner] 21:11:41 ASSESSMENT OF THE AREA WITH [Captioner] 21:11:44 DESCRIPTIONS AND WE HAVE A [Captioner] 21:11:45 VARIETY OF SOURCES OF [Captioner] 21:11:48 INFORMATION THAT WE RECEIVE [Captioner] 21:11:50 ABOUT INDIVIDUALS THAT MAY BE [Captioner] 21:11:52 LIVING IN A CERTAIN AREA. [Captioner] 21:11:54 AND SO ALL THAT PUT TOGETHER IS, [Captioner] 21:11:57 YOU KNOW, WE WANT TO DEVELOP [Captioner] 21:11:59 INFORMATION THAT'S ACTIONABLE, [Captioner] 21:12:03 THAT IS VERIFIABLE BEFORE WE [Captioner] 21:12:04 TAKE ACTION. [Captioner] 21:12:05 WE HAVE A LOT OF LEGAL [Captioner] 21:12:07 REQUIREMENTS THAT WE HAVE TO [Captioner] 21:12:08 HAVE BEFORE WE TAKE ACTION ON [Captioner] 21:12:10 ANY INDIVIDUAL AS LAW [Captioner] 21:12:11 ENFORCEMENT PROFESSIONALS ASIDE [Captioner] 21:12:13 FROM ANY TYPE OF RESPONSE TO [Captioner] 21:12:17 HOMELESS ENCAMPMENT. [Captioner] 21:12:17 >> Councilmember Liu: THANK [Captioner] 21:12:18 YOU. [Captioner] 21:12:21 SO 90 MY QUESTION IS, I GUESS TO [Captioner] 21:12:22 THE CITY MANAGER, IF BEE PASS [Captioner] 21:12:24 THIS ORDINANCE, RIGHT, THAT [Captioner] 21:12:27 WOULD BASICALLY I GUESS RELEASE [Captioner] 21:12:29 THE CHIEF FROM HAVING TO DO [Captioner] 21:12:30 THOSE SORT OF THINGS, RIGHT? [Captioner] 21:12:32 BECAUSE IT WOULD AUTOMATICALLY [Captioner] 21:12:37 BE DECIDED AS A -- [Captioner] 21:12:39 AGAINST THE ORDINANCE, [Captioner] 21:12:39 CORRECT? [Captioner] 21:12:41 OR -- OR MAYBE THAT WOULD BE A [Captioner] 21:12:42 BETTER QUESTION FOR THE CITY [Captioner] 21:12:45 ATTORNEY. [Captioner] 21:12:46 >> Cty. Attny. Alvarado: THE [Captioner] 21:12:48 POLICE DEPARTMENT WILL CONTINUE [Captioner] 21:12:49 TO BE INVOLVED AND THIS [Captioner] 21:12:50 ORDINANCE CONTEMPLATES THAT LAW [Captioner] 21:12:52 ENFORCEMENT COULD ISSUE [Captioner] 21:12:54 CITATIONS FOR VIOLATIONS OF THE [Captioner] 21:12:57 ORDINANCE AS PART OF ITS [Captioner] 21:12:57 ENFORCEMENT MECHANISM. [Captioner] 21:13:01 SO THIS ORDINANCE ANTICIPATES [Captioner] 21:13:03 THAT LAW ENFORCEMENT WILL [Captioner] 21:13:05 CONTINUE TO BE INVOLVED, [Captioner] 21:13:08 SPECIFIC TO THIS NOW PROPOSED [Captioner] 21:13:10 CAMPING BAN. [Captioner] 21:13:11 >> Councilmember Liu: ALL [Captioner] 21:13:11 RIGHT, THANK YOU. [Captioner] 21:13:14 I HAVE NO FURTHER QUESTIONS. [Captioner] 21:13:15 >> Mayor Salwan: COUNCILMEMBER [Captioner] 21:13:17 SHAO. [Captioner] 21:13:17 >> Councilmember Shao: MR. [Captioner] 21:13:23 MAYOR, I THINK VICE MAYOR [Captioner] 21:13:25 CAMPBELL MENTIONED THAT WE [Captioner] 21:13:26 ALREADY ARE DOING WHAT WE ARE [Captioner] 21:13:28 SUPPOSED TO DO.ABOUT THAT [Captioner] 21:13:32 REMINDS ME OF A PUBLIC LETTER [Captioner] 21:13:35 THAT WAS SENT BY MAN RESEARCH [Captioner] 21:13:38 TO THE CITY GOVERNMENT, CLAIMING [Captioner] 21:13:43 THAT WE ARE NOT DOING OUR JOB [Captioner] 21:13:47 , [Captioner] 21:13:51 AFTER THE COMPLAINT, WE FAIL TO [Captioner] 21:13:53 ADDRESS THEIR ISSUE, WHICH IS [Captioner] 21:13:56 THE ENCAMPMENT AROUND THEIR [Captioner] 21:14:00 FACILITIES, AND THEY COMPLAIN [Captioner] 21:14:03 AND WE, EVERY TIME, SAY OH WE [Captioner] 21:14:04 WILL TAKE ANY ACTION THAT WE CAN [Captioner] 21:14:07 DO TO HELP THEM. [Captioner] 21:14:10 BUT THINGS DIDN'T GET BETTER. [Captioner] 21:14:12 SOMETIMES EVEN GOT WORSE. [Captioner] 21:14:14 THEY WROTE THIS OPEN LETTER TO [Captioner] 21:14:18 THE CITY CLAIMING THAT BECAUSE [Captioner] 21:14:21 OF THE INACTION ON THE CITY [Captioner] 21:14:25 GOVERNMENT PART, THEY [Captioner] 21:14:27 THREATENED, EVEN THREATENED TO [Captioner] 21:14:29 MOVE THEIR BUSINESS OUT OF [Captioner] 21:14:29 FREMONT. [Captioner] 21:14:34 SO MY QUESTION IS: IN THAT [Captioner] 21:14:38 SPECIFIC CASE, HAD WE HAD THAT [Captioner] 21:14:41 ORDINANCE IN PLACE, WOULD THE [Captioner] 21:14:44 CITY GOVERNMENT OR THE POLICE [Captioner] 21:14:49 DEPARTMENT HAVE BEEN ACCUSED OF [Captioner] 21:14:52 INACTION ANYMORE? [Captioner] 21:14:56 WOULD THAT SITUATION HAVE BEEN [Captioner] 21:15:00 TAKEN CARE OF VERY SWIFTLY [Captioner] 21:15:05 , TO SAFEGUARD THE LEGAL [Captioner] 21:15:07 OR LAWFUL RIGHT OF THE BUSINESS [Captioner] 21:15:13 SUCH AS LAM [Captioner] 21:15:15 RESEARCH IN THAT CASE? [Captioner] 21:15:17 >> Sean Washington: WELL, I'M [Captioner] 21:15:21 NOT -- I -- I'M FAMILIAR WITH [Captioner] 21:15:22 THE LAM SITUATION DOWN THERE. [Captioner] 21:15:25 THAT'S A DIFFICULT QUESTION FOR [Captioner] 21:15:28 ME TO ANSWER AND RESPOND TO. [Captioner] 21:15:31 HOWEVER, I WILL GIVE A VERY [Captioner] 21:15:34 GENERAL, WHAT I THINK ASSESSMENT [Captioner] 21:15:38 OR EXPLANATION OF WHY I THINK IF [Captioner] 21:15:40 WE -- IF WE HAD THIS TYPE OF [Captioner] 21:15:42 ORDINANCE IT WOULD BE [Captioner] 21:15:42 BENEFICIAL. [Captioner] 21:15:44 SO IF, LET'S SAY TRINS, WE [Captioner] 21:15:48 DECIDED, AS A COMMUNITY, THAT [Captioner] 21:15:53 OUR LIBRARY WAS A PLACE IN WHICH [Captioner] 21:15:56 WE WANTED TO ENSURE THAT [Captioner] 21:15:57 ENCAMPMENTS DID NOT DEVELOP AND [Captioner] 21:15:59 GET OUT OF CONTROL. [Captioner] 21:16:03 AND SO WE MOVED -- [Captioner] 21:16:07 WE MOVED TO TRY TO [Captioner] 21:16:09 FIND SHELTER, AND BE AS [Captioner] 21:16:11 COMPASSIONATE AS WE CAN AND WE [Captioner] 21:16:14 CLEAR OUT THE PARKING LOT OF THE [Captioner] 21:16:15 LIBRARY. [Captioner] 21:16:19 WHAT THIS DOES IS, THOUSAND I [Captioner] 21:16:22 CAN DIRECTOR MY OFFICERS THAT [Captioner] 21:16:23 INSTEAD OF WHAT WE'VE [Captioner] 21:16:25 EXPERIENCED OVER MANY, MANY [Captioner] 21:16:29 YEARS AS A CITY IS THAT WE [Captioner] 21:16:31 MITIGATE AN AREA AND THEN IT'S [Captioner] 21:16:34 REPOPULATED, WE CAN NOW, I CAN [Captioner] 21:16:38 DIRECT MY OFFICERS TO NOW AS [Captioner] 21:16:40 SOON AS AN ADDITIONAL TENT GOES [Captioner] 21:16:43 UP WE NEED TO FOLLOW UP AND [Captioner] 21:16:44 FOLLOW THROUGH TO MAKE SURE THAT [Captioner] 21:16:47 IT DOES NOT REPOPULATE TO A [Captioner] 21:16:51 POINT TO WHERE IT'S GOING TO [Captioner] 21:16:54 TAKE A MORE COLLABORATIVE OVERT [Captioner] 21:16:59 EFFORT TO CONTROL. [Captioner] 21:17:01 THAT'S BENEFICIAL TO ME AND IT [Captioner] 21:17:02 MAY OR MAY NOT BE BENEFICIAL IN [Captioner] 21:17:04 THE SITUATION IN LAM TO SAY HEY [Captioner] 21:17:05 IF WE KNOW THAT THIS IS A [Captioner] 21:17:08 PRIORITIZED LOCATION, THEN, YOU [Captioner] 21:17:11 KNOW, ONE ENCAMPMENT, ONE TENT [Captioner] 21:17:13 LEADS TO TWO, TO THREE, AND [Captioner] 21:17:14 THAT'S A DECISION THAT WE CAN [Captioner] 21:17:16 MAKE AS A COMMUNITY WHETHER OR [Captioner] 21:17:18 NOT WE FEEL LIKE THIS IS A [Captioner] 21:17:20 PRIORITIZED AREA THAT WE WANT TO [Captioner] 21:17:23 MAINTAIN, SO THAT THE PUBLIC CAN [Captioner] 21:17:26 FEEL SAFE, BE SAFE, AND ENJOY [Captioner] 21:17:28 THAT PARTICULAR AREA. [Captioner] 21:17:30 SO I'M SORRY, COUNCILMEMBER, [Captioner] 21:17:33 THAT I PROBABLY COULDN'T ANSWER [Captioner] 21:17:35 YOUR QUESTION DIRECTLY BUT [Captioner] 21:17:36 THAT'S KIND OF THE CLOSEST [Captioner] 21:17:38 EXAMPLE I CAN GIVE ON WHY I [Captioner] 21:17:40 THINK THIS ORDINANCE WOULD [Captioner] 21:17:45 PROVIDE AN ADDITIONAL TOOL. [Captioner] 21:17:46 >> Councilmember Shao: THANK [Captioner] 21:17:50 YOU. [Captioner] 21:17:51 >> Karena Shackelford: ONE OF [Captioner] 21:17:53 THE THINGS THAT THIS CHANGES, WE [Captioner] 21:17:56 TALKED ABOUT HOW IT REDUCES THE [Captioner] 21:17:57 THRESHOLD. [Captioner] 21:17:58 AND WHAT WE ARE CURRENTLY DOING [Captioner] 21:18:00 OR WHAT WE HAVE BEEN DOING IS A [Captioner] 21:18:05 72-HOUR NO TO THE CAMPERS OR [Captioner] 21:18:06 TO THE ENCAMPMENTS. [Captioner] 21:18:09 THIS REDUCES THE THRESHOLD FROM [Captioner] 21:18:12 72 HOURS TO 24 HOURS. [Captioner] 21:18:15 HENCE, THE CHIEF'S POINT ABOUT [Captioner] 21:18:19 BEING ABLE TO MORE QUICKLY [Captioner] 21:18:22 ADDRESS SITUATIONS THAT WE'RE [Captioner] 21:18:24 ALERTED TO. [Captioner] 21:18:26 AND AS IT RELATES TO THE LAM [Captioner] 21:18:30 RESEARCH MATTER, EVEN IN ADVANCE [Captioner] 21:18:33 OF THIS ORDINANCE COMING BEFORE [Captioner] 21:18:35 YOU, THERE ARE A NUMBER OF [Captioner] 21:18:38 THINGS THAT HAVE BEEN DONE TO [Captioner] 21:18:39 ADDRESS THAT SITUATION. [Captioner] 21:18:41 ONE OF WHICH WAS THE ORDINANCE [Captioner] 21:18:45 YOU ALL -- THE COUNCIL APPROVED [Captioner] 21:18:47 SEVERAL WEEKS BACK, WITH REGARDS [Captioner] 21:18:50 TO THE LARGE VEHICLE PARKING. [Captioner] 21:18:53 IN ADDITION TO THAT, WE, STAFF [Captioner] 21:18:58 WON'T OUT AND ANALYZED THE [Captioner] 21:19:02 AREA FOR WHAT DO I WANT TO CALL [Captioner] 21:19:04 IT? [Captioner] 21:19:07 JUST DRIVING IMPACTS, PARKING [Captioner] 21:19:08 IMPACTS AND THOSE TYPE OF [Captioner] 21:19:09 THINGS. [Captioner] 21:19:11 AND THERE IS SIGNAGE THERE TO [Captioner] 21:19:13 PRESENT THOSE LARGE VEHICLES [Captioner] 21:19:15 FROM PARKING THERE AND FURTHER [Captioner] 21:19:16 IMPACTING THAT AREA. [Captioner] 21:19:19 SO THERE ARE A NUMBER OF THINGS [Captioner] 21:19:21 THAT HAPPENED IN RESPONSE TO THE [Captioner] 21:19:22 LAM RESEARCH AREA. [Captioner] 21:19:26 BUT MORE SPECIFICALLY, TO [Captioner] 21:19:29 COUNCILMEMBER SHAO'S QUESTION, [Captioner] 21:19:31 HAD THIS ORDINANCE BEEN IN PLACE [Captioner] 21:19:34 WE WOULD HAVE BEEN ABLE TO PROOH [Captioner] 21:19:36 MORE PROACTIVELY OR QUICKLY I [Captioner] 21:19:39 SHOULD SAY, GO OUT AND MITIGATE [Captioner] 21:19:41 SOME OF THE SITUATIONS THAT HAVE [Captioner] 21:19:43 BEEN REPORTED TO US. [Captioner] 21:19:43 >> Councilmember Shao: THANK [Captioner] 21:19:44 YOU, THANK YOU SO MUCH. [Captioner] 21:19:47 I HAVE A FOLLOW UP QUESTION FOR [Captioner] 21:19:48 THE HUMAN SERVICES DEPARTMENT. [Captioner] 21:19:51 SO THIS ENCAMPMENT GUIDELINE HAS [Captioner] 21:19:53 BEEN MENTIONED AGAIN AND AGAIN [Captioner] 21:19:54 AND AGAIN. [Captioner] 21:19:58 BUT IN LIGHT OF THE [Captioner] 21:20:01 GRANTS PASS RULING OF THE [Captioner] 21:20:04 SUPREME COURT, WOULDN'T YOU [Captioner] 21:20:05 AGREE WITH ME THAT THAT [Captioner] 21:20:06 GUIDELINE IS OUT OF DATE AND [Captioner] 21:20:08 NEEDS A SECOND LOOK? [Captioner] 21:20:10 LET ME GIVE YOU AN EXAMPLE. [Captioner] 21:20:12 IN THE PAST IF SOMEONE IS [Captioner] 21:20:13 DRINKING PUBLICLY IN CENTRAL [Captioner] 21:20:17 PARK, YOU KNOW, THE GUIDELINE IS [Captioner] 21:20:19 OH AS LONG AS YOU MIND YOUR OWN [Captioner] 21:20:21 BUSINESS WHETHER YOU'RE DRUNK OR [Captioner] 21:20:23 NOTE, AS LONG AS YOU DON'T HIT [Captioner] 21:20:24 PEOPLE, YOU DON'T VERBAL REPLY [Captioner] 21:20:27 ASSAULT PEOPLE, YOU DON'T [Captioner] 21:20:31 URINATE OR YOU KNOW OR DO [Captioner] 21:20:33 SOMETHING SIMILAR IN PUBLIC, [Captioner] 21:20:37 WE'LL LET YOU DO THAT. [Captioner] 21:20:40 90, WE KNOW THAT NO MATTER WHAT, [Captioner] 21:20:41 PUBLIC DRINKING IS ILLEGAL. [Captioner] 21:20:45 AND IT CAN BE PROSECUTED. [Captioner] 21:20:51 SO THAT GUIDELINE, I THINK, [Captioner] 21:20:55 IS ALREADY -- IT'S NO [Captioner] 21:20:58 LONGER, YOU KNOW, IN COMPLIANCE [Captioner] 21:21:02 WITH THE RULING, AND THERE NEEDS [Captioner] 21:21:05 TO BE MODIFIED OR EVEN, YOU [Captioner] 21:21:10 KNOW, COMPLETELY GET RID OF. [Captioner] 21:21:12 BECAUSE WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT [Captioner] 21:21:14 RIGHT NOW IS A DIFFERENT [Captioner] 21:21:14 SITUATION. [Captioner] 21:21:18 AND IF WE STILL CLING TO [Captioner] 21:21:21 THAT GUIDELINE WHICH WAS SET UP [Captioner] 21:21:24 IN COMPLETELY DIFFERENT LEGAL [Captioner] 21:21:29 ENVIRONMENT, THEN CERTAINLY THAT [Captioner] 21:21:31 WOULD PREVENT THE POLICE [Captioner] 21:21:34 DEPARTMENT FROM ENFORCING [Captioner] 21:21:38 ANYTHING IN THE FUTURE. [Captioner] 21:21:41 THAT'S MY OPINION. [Captioner] 21:21:42 >> Mayor Salwan: IS THAT A [Captioner] 21:21:44 COMMENT? [Captioner] 21:21:45 >> Councilmember Shao: WELL, [Captioner] 21:21:46 IT IS A QUESTION TOO. [Captioner] 21:21:49 DOES THAT -- DOES THAT DESERVE A [Captioner] 21:21:52 SECOND LOOK, THAT GUIDELINE? [Captioner] 21:21:54 >> COUNCILMEMBER I'LL WEIGH IN [Captioner] 21:21:56 AND THEN IF OTHERS WANT TO, THEY [Captioner] 21:21:58 CAN. [Captioner] 21:22:00 THE HOMELESS WORKING GROUP [Captioner] 21:22:03 REALLY DOES RELY ON THE [Captioner] 21:22:05 ENCAMPMENT CONDITION GUIDELINE [Captioner] 21:22:08 TO ASSESS THE SEVERITY OF AN [Captioner] 21:22:10 ENCAMPMENT AND THAT ENCAMPMENT'S [Captioner] 21:22:15 IMPACTS ON THE COMMUNITY IN A [Captioner] 21:22:16 UNIVERSE OF CONSTRAINED [Captioner] 21:22:19 RESOURCES WE'RE STILL GOING TO [Captioner] 21:22:22 NEED THOUGHTFUL TOOLS TO [Captioner] 21:22:26 ALLOCATE RESOURCES [Captioner] 21:22:29 IRRESPECTIVE OF WHETHER OR NOT [Captioner] 21:22:32 ENFORCEMENT IS PURELY LEGAL AS A [Captioner] 21:22:33 RESULT OF GRANTS PASS. [Captioner] 21:22:37 IF IT'S THE INTENT OF THE [Captioner] 21:22:43 COUNCIL TO [Captioner] 21:22:46 -- WELL, GENERALLY SPEAKING I [Captioner] 21:22:47 UNDERSTAND IT IS NOT THE INTENT [Captioner] 21:22:51 OF THE COUNCIL TO ARREST EVERY [Captioner] 21:22:53 HOMELESS PERSON IN TREATMENT. [Captioner] 21:22:56 AS SUCH STAFF WILL NEED AN [Captioner] 21:23:00 INDEX, A SCHEME TO RELY ON TO [Captioner] 21:23:02 DETERMINE WHERE INTERVENTION IS [Captioner] 21:23:05 APPROPRIATE WITH LIMITED [Captioner] 21:23:05 RESOURCES. [Captioner] 21:23:07 AND SO WE WOULD STILL WANT TO [Captioner] 21:23:08 USE THAT DOCUMENT OR A VERSION [Captioner] 21:23:09 OF THAT DOCUMENT. [Captioner] 21:23:11 THE ENCAMPMENT CONDITION [Captioner] 21:23:13 GUIDELINES ARE A LIVING [Captioner] 21:23:13 DOCUMENT. [Captioner] 21:23:16 THEY ARE NOT A DOCUMENT THAT'S [Captioner] 21:23:18 CERTIFIED ONCE A YEAR. [Captioner] 21:23:21 WE CAN AND DO ADJUST THEM. [Captioner] 21:23:24 FOR EXAMPLE, UPON FEEDBACK FROM [Captioner] 21:23:26 THE COUNCIL, THAT THEY WERE [Captioner] 21:23:28 SEEKING ADDITIONAL FOCUS ON [Captioner] 21:23:30 ENCAMPMENTS NEAR SCHOOLS. [Captioner] 21:23:32 THAT ELEMENT WAS INCLUDED IN THE [Captioner] 21:23:35 ENCAMPMENT CONDITION GUIDELINES [Captioner] 21:23:38 AND EMPLOYED BY THE HOMELESS [Captioner] 21:23:42 HOMELESS WORKING GROUP [Captioner] 21:23:43 . [Captioner] 21:23:45 THE ENCAMPMENT CONDITIONS WILL [Captioner] 21:23:46 NOT BIND THE POLICE DEPARTMENT [Captioner] 21:23:47 IN ITS ENFORCEMENT ACTIONS. [Captioner] 21:23:50 THEY WILL RECEIVE THE COMPLAINTS [Captioner] 21:23:52 AS THEY COME IN. [Captioner] 21:23:56 BUT IN TERMS OF [Captioner] 21:23:58 THOUGHTFUL ALLOCATION OF [Captioner] 21:24:01 RESOURCES AROUND THE CITY, WE [Captioner] 21:24:03 WOULD STILL WANT TO RELY ON THAT [Captioner] 21:24:07 DOCUMENT OR [Captioner] 21:24:09 SOME VERSION OF THAT DOCUMENT. [Captioner] 21:24:10 >> Mayor Salwan: THANK YOU. [Captioner] 21:24:12 JUST LAST QUESTION, THERE IS [Captioner] 21:24:16 COMMUNITY AJTS MAY THE CITY [Captioner] 21:24:19 MANAGER, THE HOLIDAYS AND AS FAR [Captioner] 21:24:23 AS IMPLEMENTING, CAN WE POSTPONE [Captioner] 21:24:26 THE IMPLEMENTATION, CAN WE WAY [Captioner] 21:24:29 SOME OF THE WINTER HOLIDAY TIME [Captioner] 21:24:33 PASS OR CAN WE PROVIDE SHELTER, [Captioner] 21:24:35 EXPAND THE WINTER SHELTER IF [Captioner] 21:24:39 POSSIBLE? [Captioner] 21:24:40 >> Cty. Attny. Alvarado: I'LL [Captioner] 21:24:45 START WITH THE LEGAL [Captioner] 21:24:49 AREA, AND THEN IF [Captioner] 21:24:52 CITY MANAGER SHACKELFORD WANTS [Captioner] 21:24:52 TO ADD. [Captioner] 21:24:55 IF THE CITY COUNCIL DECIDES TO [Captioner] 21:24:56 INTRODUCE THIS ORDINANCE, THE [Captioner] 21:25:00 FIRST OPPORTUNITY [Captioner] 21:25:02 TO ADOPT IT WOULD BE JANUARY. [Captioner] 21:25:07 IF YOU DECIDED TO PASS IT TODAY, [Captioner] 21:25:08 IT IS ONLY AN INTRODUCTION. [Captioner] 21:25:10 THE COUNCIL USUALLY ADOPTS AT [Captioner] 21:25:12 THE SECOND READING BUT IT'S NOT [Captioner] 21:25:13 A GIVEN. [Captioner] 21:25:16 SO AGAIN, IF YOU ADOPT IT, IN [Captioner] 21:25:18 JANUARY SOMETIME, AFTER THAT IT [Captioner] 21:25:19 WOULD STILL TAKE ANOTHER 30 DAYS [Captioner] 21:25:21 FOR IT TO GO INTO EFFECT. [Captioner] 21:25:23 SO THERE IS NO DANGER OF MODE [Captioner] 21:25:24 ENFORCEMENT. [Captioner] 21:25:25 >> Mayor Salwan: THANK YOU FOR [Captioner] 21:25:26 THAT CLARIFICATION. [Captioner] 21:25:28 SO MADAM CITY CLERK DO WE NEED [Captioner] 21:25:30 TO TAKE A BREAK AT SOME POINT OR [Captioner] 21:25:32 WE CAN GO ON TO ORAL [Captioner] 21:25:32 COMMUNICATION? [Captioner] 21:25:35 >> The Clerk: I THINK WE CAN [Captioner] 21:25:37 GO ON TO ORAL COMMUNICATIONS, WE [Captioner] 21:25:39 HAVE ALREADY CHANGED OUR [Captioner] 21:25:39 CAPTIONER. [Captioner] 21:25:41 >> Mayor Salwan: WE HAVE 20 [Captioner] 21:25:42 SPEAKERS? [Captioner] 21:25:43 >> The Clerk: THAT'S CORRECT. [Captioner] 21:25:44 >> Mayor Salwan: ARE WE ABLE [Captioner] 21:25:47 TO SET ONE AND A HALF MINUTES [Captioner] 21:25:49 FOR THE TIME IS THAT POSSIBLE [Captioner] 21:25:50 FOR A SPEAKER? [Captioner] 21:25:54 90 SECONDS? [Captioner] 21:25:57 ? [Captioner] 21:25:59 THEN WE'LL BE DONE IN 30 [Captioner] 21:26:00 MINUTES, HOPEFULLY. [Captioner] 21:26:04 >> The Clerk: OKAY, WE CAN [Captioner] 21:26:05 HAVE A MINUTE AND A HALF. [Captioner] 21:26:07 >> Mayor Salwan: OKAY. [Captioner] 21:26:12 >> The Clerk: VALERIE [Captioner] 21:26:12 STEWART. [Captioner] 21:26:20 FOLLOWED BY JENNA [Captioner] 21:26:22 DOHERTY. [Captioner] 21:26:26 FOLLOWED BY LINDA DULANEY [Captioner] 21:26:28 . [Captioner] 21:26:31 >> (INAUDIBLE). [Captioner] 21:26:33 >> Mayor Salwan: WE CAN'T HEAR [Captioner] 21:26:35 YOU. [Captioner] 21:26:37 >> The Clerk: PLEASE PRESS THE [Captioner] 21:26:38 BUTTON. [Captioner] 21:26:39 >> Mayor Salwan: GREEN [Captioner] 21:26:39 BUTTON. [Captioner] 21:26:42 >> NOW MY TIME STARTS? [Captioner] 21:26:44 MAYOR SALWAN AND CITY COUNCIL [Captioner] 21:26:44 MEMBERS. [Captioner] 21:26:47 I'M SPEAKING TO YOU TONIGHT AS A [Captioner] 21:26:50 CITY RESIDENT AND ALSO A [Captioner] 21:26:53 REPRESENTATIVE OF THE MISSION [Captioner] 21:26:58 PEAK UNITARIAN UNIVERSALIST [Captioner] 21:27:02 CREATION, CREATION [Captioner] 21:27:06 CONGREGATION [Captioner] 21:27:08 HERE IN FREMONT.

[Captioner] 21:27:21 THERE IS NO REASON TO CRILZ [Captioner] 21:27:25 CRIMINALIZE BEING UNHOUSED IN [Captioner] 21:27:25 FREMONT TONIGHT. [Captioner] 21:27:27 THAT IS WHAT YOU WOULD DO, IF [Captioner] 21:27:30 YOU WOULD PASS THIS ORDINANCE [Captioner] 21:27:31 TONIGHT. [Captioner] 21:27:33 I WAS A STATE AND FEDERAL [Captioner] 21:27:35 PROSECUTOR, LAW ENFORCEMENT [Captioner] 21:27:38 PLAYS AN IMPORTANT ROLE IN OUR [Captioner] 21:27:38 COMMUNITY. [Captioner] 21:27:42 BUT MAKING SOMEONE A CRIMINAL [Captioner] 21:27:46 FOR BEING UNHOUSED IS NOT A [Captioner] 21:27:50 TOOL WE IN FREMONT WANT TO USE [Captioner] 21:27:52 TO DEAL WITH OUR HOMELESS [Captioner] 21:27:52 SITUATION. [Captioner] 21:27:58 WE HAVE STUDENTS AND FAMILIES [Captioner] 21:28:01 AND INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE [Captioner] 21:28:01 UNHOUSED.

[Captioner] 21:28:39 WE STRONGLY URGE THAT YOU [Captioner] 21:28:41 CONTINUE THIS ITEM DUE TO WHAT [Captioner] 21:28:44 WE FIND TO BE VERY PROBLEMATIC [Captioner] 21:28:45 VAGUE LANGUAGE TOWARDS THE [Captioner] 21:28:47 UNHOUSED, ESPECIALLY SINCE IT'S [Captioner] 21:28:50 THE HOLIDAY SEASON AS MAYOR [Captioner] 21:28:51 SALWAN SUGGESTED. [Captioner] 21:28:53 IN RESPECT TO GRANTS PASS WE [Captioner] 21:28:55 HAVE LEARNED FROM PAST CIVIL [Captioner] 21:28:56 RIGHTS STRUGGLES JUST BECAUSE IT [Captioner] 21:28:59 IS THE LAW IT DOESN'T MEAN IT IS [Captioner] 21:29:00 THE MORALLY CORRECT SOLUTION. [Captioner] 21:29:03 FOR DECADES THIS COUNTRY HAS [Captioner] 21:29:04 CRIMINALIZED PEOPLE FOR BEING [Captioner] 21:29:08 UNHOUSED AND IT ONLY EXASPERATES [Captioner] 21:29:08 THE SITUATION. [Captioner] 21:29:10 WE NEED TO BE SURE WE STAY [Captioner] 21:29:14 FOCUSED ON PREVENTING SITUATIONS [Captioner] 21:29:17 FOR PEOPLE TO BE UNHOUSED RATHER [Captioner] 21:29:19 THAN MAKING IT HARDER FOR THEM [Captioner] 21:29:21 TO SURVIVE JUST BECAUSE OF [Captioner] 21:29:22 CIRCUMSTANCES BEYOND THEIR [Captioner] 21:29:22 CONTROL. [Captioner] 21:29:24 WE SHOULDN'T BE PUTTING BUSINESS [Captioner] 21:29:26 PROFITS OUT OF THE HUMANITY OF [Captioner] 21:29:27 THE UNHOUSED. [Captioner] 21:29:27 THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

[Captioner] 21:29:44 >> GOOD EVENING, MAYOR SALWAN [Captioner] 21:29:45 AND COUNCILMEMBERS. [Captioner] 21:29:47 I FIND IT VERY UNSETTLING THAT [Captioner] 21:29:52 THE CITY IS CONSIDERING [Captioner] 21:29:54 THREATS FROM ENTITIES LIKE LAM [Captioner] 21:29:55 RESEARCH. [Captioner] 21:29:56 THAT IS LUDICROUS. [Captioner] 21:29:58 I THINK WE HAVE MORE DIGNITY [Captioner] 21:29:59 THAN THAT. [Captioner] 21:30:01 MY SECOND COMMENT IS THAT [Captioner] 21:30:02 BECAUSE THIS NEEDS TO BE VIEWED [Captioner] 21:30:04 WITH MORE COMPASSION THAN WHAT [Captioner] 21:30:06 I'M HEARING TODAY. [Captioner] 21:30:08 I WILL TELL YOU THAT FOR MANY [Captioner] 21:30:11 YEARS, 25 OR ARE MORE, I HAVE [Captioner] 21:30:14 BEEN A MEMBER OF 24 HOUR FITNESS [Captioner] 21:30:16 AND PROBABLY USED IT A LOT THE [Captioner] 21:30:18 LAST 15 YEARS BUT THE LAST TEN [Captioner] 21:30:20 YEARS I DON'T THINK I'VE BEEN [Captioner] 21:30:21 INSIDE ANY OF THOSE BUILDINGS [Captioner] 21:30:23 MORE THAN TWO OR THREE TIMES. [Captioner] 21:30:26 BUT I WILL TELL YOU I KEEP MY [Captioner] 21:30:30 $15 A MONTH LIFETIME [Captioner] 21:30:34 SUBSCRIPTION, BECAUSE I WANT TO [Captioner] 21:30:35 HAVE A PLACE TO SHOWER, I COULD [Captioner] 21:30:38 BE HOMELESS LIKE PEOPLE ON THE [Captioner] 21:30:39 STREETS AND WE NEED TO THINK [Captioner] 21:30:40 ABOUT THAT BEFORE WE MAKE ANY [Captioner] 21:30:43 KIND OF CRIMINALIZATION THE FACT [Captioner] 21:30:45 THAT INTUN DUE TO CIRCUMSTANCES [Captioner] 21:30:46 LIKELY BEYOND THEIR CONTROL IS [Captioner] 21:30:49 NOT LIVING IN A SHELTERED ENTITY [Captioner] 21:30:51 OTHER THAN A TENT OR SOMETHING [Captioner] 21:30:55 THAT THEY'VE BUILT IN SOME [Captioner] 21:30:55 BIWAY. [Captioner] 21:30:59 I REAL RESPECT THE THOUGHT [Captioner] 21:31:01 PROCESSES TO TAKE CARE OF [Captioner] 21:31:04 HOMELESS PEOPLE AND HELP THEM [Captioner] 21:31:05 RATHER THAN TO MAKE THEM INTO [Captioner] 21:31:05 CRIMINALS.

[Captioner] 21:31:46 BUT THIS PARTICULAR ORDINANCE [Captioner] 21:31:50 CROSSES THE LINE INTO, AT [Captioner] 21:31:53 LEAST THE WAY I SEE IT AND THE [Captioner] 21:31:55 WAY A LOT OF US SEE IT, AS [Captioner] 21:31:57 MAKING CRIMINALS OUT OF PEOPLE [Captioner] 21:31:59 WHO ARE HOMELESS. [Captioner] 21:32:02 THAT IS JUST SIMPLY AN IMMORAL [Captioner] 21:32:03 THING TO DO. [Captioner] 21:32:07 JUST SIMPLY IMMORAL. [Captioner] 21:32:13 MY CONGREGATION GAVE AN AWARD TO [Captioner] 21:32:18 THE CITY COUNCIL AFTER THEY [Captioner] 21:32:21 ESTABLISHED THE CENTER. [Captioner] 21:32:23 THE HOMELESS NAVIGATION CENTER. [Captioner] 21:32:24 AND WE WERE SO HAPPY TO BE ABLE [Captioner] 21:32:26 TO DO THAT EVEN THOUGH THERE WAS [Captioner] 21:32:30 A LOT OF CONTROVERSY ABOUT IT. [Captioner] 21:32:32 AND THE COURAGE TO DO THE RIGHT [Captioner] 21:32:34 THING WAS SOMETHING THAT THE [Captioner] 21:32:37 CITY COUNCIL FOUND A WAY TO DO.

[Captioner] 21:32:58 WE HAVE BEEN TALKING ABOUT WITH [Captioner] 21:33:01 WHETHER OR NOT THIS ORDINANCE [Captioner] 21:33:03 WOULD CONSTITUTE CRILZATION, I [Captioner] 21:33:06 WANT TO READ A COUPLE OF THE [Captioner] 21:33:09 EXCERPTS, WHICH HAVE BEEN READ [Captioner] 21:33:11 ACTUALLY, IT IS UNLAWFUL FOR ANY [Captioner] 21:33:14 PERSON TO CAMP OR MAINTAIN A AN [Captioner] 21:33:15 ENCAMPMENT ANY OR AROUND ANY [Captioner] 21:33:16 PUBLIC PROPERTY. [Captioner] 21:33:18 OKAY WHAT DOES CAMP MEAN? [Captioner] 21:33:19 WELL WE TALKED ABOUT THAT [Captioner] 21:33:20 EARLIER. [Captioner] 21:33:21 A CAMP INCLUDES THE DEFINITION [Captioner] 21:33:24 OF CAMP TO PITCH PLACE OR OCCUPY [Captioner] 21:33:26 CAMP FACILITIES OR LIVE [Captioner] 21:33:28 TEMPORARILY IN A CAMP FACILITY.

[Captioner] 21:34:02 WE WOULD NOT ACCEPT THAT AS [Captioner] 21:34:04 HIGHWAYSED PEOPLE AND IT'S [Captioner] 21:34:06 TOTALLY UNFAIR TO EXPECT [Captioner] 21:34:07 UNHIGHWAYSED PEOPLE TO LIVE LIKE [Captioner] 21:34:07 THAT.

[Captioner] 21:34:39 EVEN BY DOING SO, WE'RE STILL [Captioner] 21:34:42 LOOKING AT WINTER MONTHS, FACED [Captioner] 21:34:45 WITH COLD AND RAIN. [Captioner] 21:34:47 THE CITIZENS OF FREMONT DO NEED [Captioner] 21:34:48 MORE TIME TO DISCUSS THIS [Captioner] 21:34:51 IMPORTANT ISSUE, WHICH AFFECTS [Captioner] 21:34:54 REAL HUMAN LIVES. [Captioner] 21:34:56 SINCE 2019, I'VE DEDICATED MY [Captioner] 21:34:58 TIME AND ENERGY TO RIGHTS OF [Captioner] 21:35:01 HOMELESSNESS AND HOUSING SINCE I [Captioner] 21:35:02 BECAME HOMELESS. [Captioner] 21:35:04 AS A PERSON WHO CAME THERE AN [Captioner] 21:35:06 UPPER MIDDLE CLASS FAMILY, [Captioner] 21:35:09 SERVED HONORABLY IN THE MILITARY [Captioner] 21:35:12 GRADUATED WITH A MASTER'S [Captioner] 21:35:15 DEGREE, WORKED AS A SPEECH [Captioner] 21:35:17 LANGUAGE PATHOLOGIST, AND OWNED [Captioner] 21:35:20 MY OWN HOME, IT BECAME [Captioner] 21:35:21 FRUSTRATING THAT HOMELESSNESS [Captioner] 21:35:23 COULD HAPPEN TO ME. [Captioner] 21:35:25 MANY OTHER PEOPLE WERE NOT VERY [Captioner] 21:35:27 DIFFERENT FROM SOMEONE LIKE ME. [Captioner] 21:35:29 MY CURRENT HOUSING SITUATION IS [Captioner] 21:35:32 DUE TO MY VETERAN STATUS, NOT [Captioner] 21:35:35 EVERYONE IS SO FORTUNATE. [Captioner] 21:35:36 CURRENTLY I'M SEPARATED BY MY [Captioner] 21:35:40 SPOUSE WHO HAS BEEN DEVASTATED [Captioner] 21:35:40 BY THIS. [Captioner] 21:35:42 SHE HAS BEEN HOMELESS FOR THE [Captioner] 21:35:45 LAST FREN MONTHS AND HASN'T BEEN [Captioner] 21:35:48 ABLE TO GET SOMETHING [Captioner] 21:35:53 AFFORDABLE, TO ACCOMMODATE HER [Captioner] 21:35:53 DISABILITIES. [Captioner] 21:35:57 SHE IS COWMP SURFING, SHE COULD [Captioner] 21:35:59 BE ON THE STREET FACING THE [Captioner] 21:36:01 ELEMENTS AND CRIMINALIZATION.

[Captioner] 21:36:35 AND WE'RE ALL FAMILIAR WITH HOW [Captioner] 21:36:37 DIFFICULT IT IS TO AFFORD [Captioner] 21:36:39 HOUSING HERE IN THE BAY AREA. [Captioner] 21:36:41 SO THE LAST THING WE WANT TO DO [Captioner] 21:36:43 IS CRALZ H CRIMINALIZE BEING [Captioner] 21:36:44 UNHOUSED. [Captioner] 21:36:45 YET AT THE SAME TIME, THERE IS [Captioner] 21:36:49 AN EXPECTATION AMONGST THE CITY [Captioner] 21:36:51 THAT THE CITY COUNCIL AND THE [Captioner] 21:36:52 CITY GOVERNMENT WILL DO [Captioner] 21:36:54 SOMETHING TO HELP SELF SOME OF [Captioner] 21:36:55 THESE PROBLEMS. [Captioner] 21:36:57 SO IF THIS BECOMES A TOOL THAT [Captioner] 21:36:59 CAN BE UTILIZED BY LAW [Captioner] 21:37:03 ENFORCEMENT, OTHER SERVICES, TO [Captioner] 21:37:05 VERY STRATEGICALLY DEAL WITH [Captioner] 21:37:07 PEOPLE WHO ARE A PROBLEM, THEN [Captioner] 21:37:09 IT MAKES SENSE TO GIVE THEM THE [Captioner] 21:37:11 OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE THAT TOOL. [Captioner] 21:37:14 BUT MAKE SURE IT IS A SCALPEL [Captioner] 21:37:15 USED TO DEAL WITH SPECIFIC [Captioner] 21:37:18 PROBLEMS, THOUGHT A CUDGEL THAT [Captioner] 21:37:21 IS APPLIED BROADLY TO ALL [Captioner] 21:37:21 PEOPLE.

[Captioner] 21:38:10 IT WOULD BE A BETTER USE OF [Captioner] 21:38:14 RESOURCES TO FOCUS ON PATHWAYS [Captioner] 21:38:17 TO HOUSING, OBVIOUSLY, THERE ARE [Captioner] 21:38:18 THINGS BEING DONE. [Captioner] 21:38:20 BUT WE STILL DON'T HAVE A SAFE [Captioner] 21:38:24 PARKING SITUATION FOR OUR [Captioner] 21:38:25 UNHOUSED. [Captioner] 21:38:28 AND IT SEEMS TO ME WE NEED TO [Captioner] 21:38:29 TOWKS ON THOSE KINDS OF [Captioner] 21:38:32 SOLUTIONS FIRST.

[Captioner] 21:43:49 IT PUTS THE CART BEFORE THE [Captioner] 21:43:50 HORSE. [Captioner] 21:43:52 IT'S PUNISHING HOMELESSNESS [Captioner] 21:43:55 USING A COMPLAINT BASED PROCESS [Captioner] 21:43:56 OF ENFORCEMENT. [Captioner] 21:43:59 JUST KIND OF TRYING TO MAGIC THE [Captioner] 21:44:01 PROBLEM AWAY, BY CREATING EVEN [Captioner] 21:44:03 MORE HARDSHIP FOR THE [Captioner] 21:44:06 DOWNTRODDEN, WHEN THERE ARE NOT [Captioner] 21:44:08 YET SUFFICIENT VIABLE ALTERNATE [Captioner] 21:44:10 SOLUTIONS FOR THEM TO GET [Captioner] 21:44:12 SHELTER.

[Captioner] 21:44:20 IT SOUNDS LIKE THERE ARE SOME [Captioner] 21:44:22 REALLY GOOD IDEAS IN THE FIVE [Captioner] 21:44:24 YEAR PLAN. [Captioner] 21:44:25 PLEASE DON'T RAILROAD A VOTE [Captioner] 21:44:26 TONIGHT. [Captioner] 21:44:29 PLEASE TAKE A PAUSE FOR SOME [Captioner] 21:44:31 MORE COMPASSION.

[Captioner] 21:44:42 DO WE REALLY WANT TO BE [Captioner] 21:44:47 TURFING [Captioner] 21:44:51 PEOPLE OUT OF THEIR CARS TO [Captioner] 21:44:53 FIND RANDOM PLACES TO SLEEP WHEN [Captioner] 21:44:55 THERE AREN'T ANY OTHER GOOD [Captioner] 21:44:56 SOLUTIONS FOR THEM? [Captioner] 21:44:58 WHERE IS THE HUMANITY, AS A [Captioner] 21:44:59 COMMUNITY WE ARE BETTER THAN [Captioner] 21:45:00 THAT. [Captioner] 21:45:01 PLEASE CONTINUE THIS ITEM. [Captioner] 21:45:04 UNTIL A FUTURE MEETING. [Captioner] 21:45:08 FOCUS FIRST ON IMPLEMENTING [Captioner] 21:45:09 PREVENTATIVE AND MITIGATION [Captioner] 21:45:14 SOLUTIONS, BEFORE TRYING TO [Captioner] 21:45:18 -- [Captioner] 21:45:21 >> The Clerk: CHUNG, FOLLOWED [Captioner] 21:45:26 BY SENDARI, TOLLED BY ANNIE.

[Captioner] 21:45:55 FREMONT VOTERS OVERWHELMINGLY [Captioner] 21:45:58 VOTED TO RESTORE COMMON SENSE [Captioner] 21:45:59 LAW AND ORDER IN OUR CITY. [Captioner] 21:46:01 YES WE WANT TO BE COMPASSIONATE [Captioner] 21:46:03 FOR THE NEEDY BUT THERE HAS TO [Captioner] 21:46:04 BE RULES. [Captioner] 21:46:07 WE CANNOT AND I REPEAT CANNOT [Captioner] 21:46:09 COMPROMISE THE SAFETY OF FREMONT [Captioner] 21:46:11 RESIDENTS WHEN WE TAKE CARE OF [Captioner] 21:46:13 THE NEEDY. [Captioner] 21:46:15 WE ALSO NEED TO RESPECT THE [Captioner] 21:46:17 RIGHTS OF FREMONT TAXPAYERS WHO [Captioner] 21:46:20 FUND OUR PUBLIC SPACES AND CITY [Captioner] 21:46:21 GOVERNMENT, AND EXPECT TO BE [Captioner] 21:46:23 ABLE TO USE THE SPACE THAT THEY [Captioner] 21:46:25 PAID FOR.

[Captioner] 21:47:03 TREATMENT IS A WONDERFUL CITY [Captioner] 21:47:06 BUT WE ARE FACING A VERY [Captioner] 21:47:07 SIGNIFICANT CHALLENGE WITH THE [Captioner] 21:47:09 HOMELESSNESS THAT WE NEED, NO [Captioner] 21:47:11 LONGER SHOULD IG NOAR IT. [Captioner] 21:47:13 SO IMPLEMENTING A CITYWIDE [Captioner] 21:47:15 CAMPING BAN ON PUBLIC PROPERTY [Captioner] 21:47:16 IS A CRUCIAL STEP IN ADDRESSING [Captioner] 21:47:17 THIS ISSUE. [Captioner] 21:47:22 PLEASE NOTE THAT 14 [Captioner] 21:47:23 CALIFORNIA CITIES HAVE [Captioner] 21:47:25 IMPLEMENTED THIS BAN OF CAMPING [Captioner] 21:47:25 IN THEIR CITIES. [Captioner] 21:47:29 AND ALSO, ONE COUNTY IS THINKING [Captioner] 21:47:31 TO MAKE ANOTHER NEW ORDINANCE TO [Captioner] 21:47:33 COMPLETELY ERADICATE THE [Captioner] 21:47:36 HOMELESSNESS BY IMPLEMENTING THE [Captioner] 21:47:37 CAMPING BAN. [Captioner] 21:47:41 SO DENYING THIS OR ENDLESSLY [Captioner] 21:47:42 DISCUSSING THIS WILL NOT BRING [Captioner] 21:47:44 ABOUT THE SOLUTION WE NEED. [Captioner] 21:47:46 INSTEAD WE ARE RISK THIS [Captioner] 21:47:50 SITUATION TO DIVERSE OR MORE. [Captioner] 21:47:51 I STRONGLY SUPPORT THE ORDINANCE [Captioner] 21:47:54 AND I ASK THE MAYOR AND [Captioner] 21:47:55 COUNCILMEMBER TO PASS THIS [Captioner] 21:47:57 ORDINANCE TONIGHT, AND MAKE [Captioner] 21:47:59 FREMONT A BETTER AND A SAFER [Captioner] 21:48:00 PLACE TO LIVE.

[Captioner] 21:48:13 >> AS A PROUD FREMONT RESIDENT [Captioner] 21:48:15 AND A MEMBER OF FREMONT FOR [Captioner] 21:48:17 EVERYONE I'M ASKING YOU TO [Captioner] 21:48:18 POSTPONE OR CONTINUE THIS ITEM. [Captioner] 21:48:21 IT IS IMPORTANT FOR PRACTICAL [Captioner] 21:48:23 REASONS, THIS IS YOUR FIRST [Captioner] 21:48:24 MEETING, THE COUNCIL IS NEW, IT [Captioner] 21:48:26 IS NOT FAIR TO SHOVE THIS [Captioner] 21:48:27 THROUGH WITHOUT FULLY THINKING [Captioner] 21:48:28 IT THROUGH ESPECIALLY IN THE [Captioner] 21:48:29 WINTER. [Captioner] 21:48:33 EVEN IF YOU POSTPONE ENFORCEMENT [Captioner] 21:48:34 UNTIL AFTER THIS WINTER THERE [Captioner] 21:48:36 WILL BE WINTER NEXT YEAR. [Captioner] 21:48:39 WE SHOULD HAVE A REAL COMMUNITY [Captioner] 21:48:41 DIALOGUE ON SOLUTIONS, INSTEAD [Captioner] 21:48:46 OF YOUR FIRST CONS [Captioner] 21:48:50 CONSEQUENTIAL ACT, THAT IS WHAT [Captioner] 21:48:53 THIS IS, ON A POLICY FRONT WE [Captioner] 21:48:54 NEED TIME TO COME UP WITH A [Captioner] 21:48:55 BETTER SOLUTION THAT ACTUALLY [Captioner] 21:48:57 ADDRESSES THE ROOT CAUSES OF [Captioner] 21:48:59 HOMELESSNESS. [Captioner] 21:49:01 STAFF SAID THAT THIS IS UNLIKELY [Captioner] 21:49:03 TO REDUCE HOMELESSNESS. [Captioner] 21:49:05 FURTHERMORE, WE'RE A [Captioner] 21:49:07 COMPASSIONATE CITY AND TICKETING [Captioner] 21:49:10 UNHIGHWAYSED PEOPLE WITH [Captioner] 21:49:11 EXISTING FOR THINGS THEY NEED OR [Captioner] 21:49:12 ARRESTING THEM IS NEITHER [Captioner] 21:49:14 COMPASSIONATE NOR EFFECTIVE. [Captioner] 21:49:16 IN FACT IT IS A WASTE OF MY TAX [Captioner] 21:49:17 MONEY THAT ACTUALLY MAKES IT [Captioner] 21:49:19 HARDER FOR UNHOUSED PEOPLE TO [Captioner] 21:49:22 GET SHELTER IN JOBS BECAUSE NOW [Captioner] 21:49:24 THEY POTENTIALLY HAVE UNPAID [Captioner] 21:49:26 TICKETS AND CRIMINAL RECORDS AND [Captioner] 21:49:29 ARE MISSING VITAL GOODS LIKE [Captioner] 21:49:32 MEDICATIONS OR I.D.'S THIS IS [Captioner] 21:49:34 NOT SOLVING ANY, IT IS TAKING [Captioner] 21:49:36 PEOPLE'S STUFF AND MOVING THEM [Captioner] 21:49:38 AROUND AND MAKING THE PROBLEM [Captioner] 21:49:38 WORSE. [Captioner] 21:49:41 YES WE ABSOLUTELY DO NEED PUBLIC [Captioner] 21:49:43 SAFETY SO IF ANYONE HOUSED OR [Captioner] 21:49:45 UNHOUSED IS A DANGER TO THE [Captioner] 21:49:48 COMMUNITY THEY ARE PROBABLY [Captioner] 21:49:51 VIOLATING OTHER LAWS AND CAN BE [Captioner] 21:49:53 REMOVED FOR THOSE REASONS. [Captioner] 21:49:55 PLEASE POSTPONE THIS ITEM, WE [Captioner] 21:49:57 NEED TO COME UP WOO BETTER [Captioner] 21:49:59 SOLUTION. [Captioner] 21:50:01 >> HELLO EVERYONE. [Captioner] 21:50:05 IN 2018, THE NINTH CIRCUIT RULED [Captioner] 21:50:06 IN EFFECT THAT CITIES HAVE A [Captioner] 21:50:08 RESPONSIBILITY TO PROVIDE LIVING [Captioner] 21:50:13 SPACE FOR ANYONE WHO WANTS IT. [Captioner] 21:50:16 THE RULING CREATED HAVOC IN [Captioner] 21:50:17 SEVERAL WESTERN STATES WHICH [Captioner] 21:50:19 WE'RE STILL DEALING WITH [Captioner] 21:50:20 THOUSAND SIX YEARS LATER EVEN [Captioner] 21:50:22 AFTER THE SUPREME COURT [Captioner] 21:50:24 OVERTURNED IT. [Captioner] 21:50:26 AND IN THOSE SIX YEARS, THE [Captioner] 21:50:28 THOUGHT HAS BEEN ESTABLISHED AND [Captioner] 21:50:31 NORMALIZED IN MANY PEOPLE'S [Captioner] 21:50:32 MINDS DESPITE BEING COMPLETELY [Captioner] 21:50:35 UNWORKABLE FROM THE GET GO. [Captioner] 21:50:36 THE BAY AREA IS ONE OF THE MOST [Captioner] 21:50:39 EXPENSIVE PLACES ON THE PLANET. [Captioner] 21:50:41 EVERY YEAR, PEOPLE MOVE HERE, [Captioner] 21:50:42 WHEN THEY THINK THEY CAN AFFORD [Captioner] 21:50:45 IT, AND MOVE AWAY WHEN THEY [Captioner] 21:50:46 THINK THEY CANNOT. [Captioner] 21:50:49 IT IS A PERFECTLY ACCEPTABLE [Captioner] 21:50:52 DECISION THAT ALMOST ALL ADULTS [Captioner] 21:50:52 MAKE THEMSELVES. [Captioner] 21:50:54 WHEN PEOPLE DO THE OPPOSITE WHEN [Captioner] 21:50:57 THEY STAY ON AFTER REALIZING [Captioner] 21:50:59 THEY CAN THOUGHT AFFORD IT, [Captioner] 21:51:02 THAT'S ODD, IT'S UNSUSTAINABLE, [Captioner] 21:51:03 BECAUSE WHATEVER RESOURCES THEY [Captioner] 21:51:05 START WITH PARTICULARLY DWINDLE [Captioner] 21:51:06 AWAY TO NOTHING AND THEY ARE [Captioner] 21:51:07 STUCK. [Captioner] 21:51:09 AS WE LOOK FOR WAYS FOR PEOPLE [Captioner] 21:51:11 WHO FIND THEMSELVES IN THIS SPOT [Captioner] 21:51:13 OUR POLICIES SHOULD BE [Captioner] 21:51:14 CONSCIOUSLY TEMPORARY AND [Captioner] 21:51:14 TRANSITIONAL. [Captioner] 21:51:18 IF WE CAN TIDE PEOPLE OVER FOR A [Captioner] 21:51:20 MONTH IF WE CAN HELP THEM MOVE [Captioner] 21:51:23 TO A MORE AFFORDABLE APARTMENT [Captioner] 21:51:24 OR MORE AFFORDABLE PART OF THE [Captioner] 21:51:27 COUNTRY WE DO SOME ACTUAL GOOD.

[Captioner] 21:51:53 I AGREE WITH MAYOR SALWAN WE [Captioner] 21:51:55 SHOULD NOT CRIMINALIZE [Captioner] 21:51:55 HOMELESSNESS. [Captioner] 21:51:57 IT IS BOTH AN EXPENSIVE WASTE OF [Captioner] 21:51:59 CITY RESOURCES WITH THE ADDED [Captioner] 21:52:01 DOWN SIDE OF BEING CRUEL. [Captioner] 21:52:03 CRUEL TO UNHOUSED RESIDENTS OF [Captioner] 21:52:06 FREMONT, INCLUDING FAMILIES, [Captioner] 21:52:07 INCLUDING CHILDREN.

[Captioner] 21:57:57 REALLY APPRECIATE THAT YOU'RE [Captioner] 21:57:58 HERE AND IT SHOWS HOW IMPORTANT [Captioner] 21:58:00 IT IS TO YOU AND ALL OF YOU TO [Captioner] 21:58:01 BE HERE TONIGHT. [Captioner] 21:58:03 ALSO, FOR THE STAFF FOR BRINGING [Captioner] 21:58:04 THIS TO US. [Captioner] 21:58:08 I WAS -- I WAS THOUGHT HERE WHEN [Captioner] 21:58:10 THIS WAS ASKED TO BE BROUGHT [Captioner] 21:58:11 FORWARD BUT I UNDERSTAND THAT [Captioner] 21:58:13 THINGS ARE ASKED, YOU BRING IT [Captioner] 21:58:15 FORWARD, WE LOOK AT IT AND THEN [Captioner] 21:58:17 WE CAN DECIDE IF IT'S A GOOD [Captioner] 21:58:18 THING OR NOT. [Captioner] 21:58:21 SOME OF THE THINGS I'D LIKE TO [Captioner] 21:58:23 COMMENT ON ARE, WE ALREADY HAVE, [Captioner] 21:58:26 IF IT'S ILLEGAL, SOMETHING'S [Captioner] 21:58:26 GOING TO BE DONE. [Captioner] 21:58:28 IF IT'S A HEALTH AND SAFETY [Captioner] 21:58:30 CONCERN, SOMETHING'S GOING TO BE [Captioner] 21:58:34 DONE. [Captioner] 21:58:36 WITH INTERVENTION OR SUPPORT. [Captioner] 21:58:38 OR SOMETIMES POLICE ACTION. [Captioner] 21:58:40 IF IT'S ILLEGAL, WE ALREADY HAVE [Captioner] 21:58:42 THAT IN PLACE. [Captioner] 21:58:43 IT'S -- ALSO WITH THE [Captioner] 21:58:46 CONSIDERING THAT THE IMPACT IT [Captioner] 21:58:49 WOULD MAKE ON OUR ALREADY [Captioner] 21:58:52 STRUGGLING POLICE DEPARTMENT, [Captioner] 21:58:53 BEING UNDERSTAFFED, I DON'T SEE [Captioner] 21:58:55 WHY THIS WOULD MAKE A WHOLE LOT [Captioner] 21:58:57 OF SENSE TO BRING FORWARD. [Captioner] 21:58:59 IF IT'S GOING TO CAUSE EVEN MORE [Captioner] 21:59:01 PROBLEMS ON THE EMPLOYEES OF THE [Captioner] 21:59:03 POLICE DEPARTMENT. [Captioner] 21:59:08 I JUST DON'T SEE WHY WE'RE [Captioner] 21:59:10 REALLY ENTERTAINING THIS IDEA, [Captioner] 21:59:12 IF THERE'S SO MANY NEGATIVES ON [Captioner] 21:59:14 IT AND IT DOESN'T REALLY HAVE AN [Captioner] 21:59:14 ANSWER. [Captioner] 21:59:17 BUT THE FLIP SIDE OF THIS IS, MY [Captioner] 21:59:19 CONCERN IS WE DO HEAR THERE [Captioner] 21:59:19 BUSINESSES. [Captioner] 21:59:20 WE DO HEAR FROM BUSINESSES WHO [Captioner] 21:59:22 ARE CRYING, WHO ARE STRUGGLING, [Captioner] 21:59:24 WHO ARE BEING ATTACKED BY DOGS, [Captioner] 21:59:26 WHO ARE BEING ATTACKED BY [Captioner] 21:59:26 PEOPLE. [Captioner] 21:59:27 THAT IS KIND OF A DIFFERENT [Captioner] 21:59:30 STORY BUT SOMETIMES IT'S NOT. [Captioner] 21:59:31 SOMETIMES THEY ARE TOGETHER. [Captioner] 21:59:33 SO I'VE MET WITH A FEW OF YOU. [Captioner] 21:59:35 I'D LIKE TO CONTINUE MEETING [Captioner] 21:59:36 WITH FOLKS SO WE CAN FIGURE OUT [Captioner] 21:59:38 HOW CAN WE PROTECT OUR [Captioner] 21:59:40 BUSINESSES AS WE'RE HELPING OUR [Captioner] 21:59:41 HOMELESS PEOPLE. [Captioner] 21:59:43 SO I GUESS THAT'S ALL I HAVE TO [Captioner] 21:59:45 SAY FOR RIGHT NOW. [Captioner] 21:59:47 >> Mayor Salwan: COUNCILMEMBER [Captioner] 21:59:48 SHAO. [Captioner] 21:59:49 >> Councilmember Shao: THANK [Captioner] 21:59:54 YOU MR. MAYOR. [Captioner] 21:59:57 AUGUST 31st, 2021. [Captioner] 22:00:04 GOVERNOR NEWSOM SIGNED THE [Captioner] 22:00:08 SENATOR BILL AND FORM FORMAL [Captioner] 22:00:10 LY DECLARED THE STATE OF [Captioner] 22:00:12 CALIFORNIA AS THE COMPASSIONATE [Captioner] 22:00:12 STATE. [Captioner] 22:00:18 HOWEVER, JULY 25th, 20 [Captioner] 22:00:22 24, WITHIN A MONTH AFTER [Captioner] 22:00:25 THE SUPREME COURT MADE THE [Captioner] 22:00:28 RULING IN GRANTS PASS VERSUS [Captioner] 22:00:33 JOHNSTON, GOVERNOR NEWSOM ISSUED [Captioner] 22:00:36 THIS EXECUTIVE ORDER, ORDERING [Captioner] 22:00:38 NOT ONLY THE STATE OFFICIALS BUT [Captioner] 22:00:42 ALSO THE LOCAL GOVERNMENTS TO DO [Captioner] 22:00:46 THEIR BEST TO REMOVE ALL THE [Captioner] 22:00:50 DANGEROUS, UNSAFE [Captioner] 22:00:54 ENCAMPMENTS THAT WOULD PRESENT [Captioner] 22:00:58 A DANGER TO THE PUBLIC. [Captioner] 22:01:02 I BELIEVE IN THE PAST, [Captioner] 22:01:06 HE WAS A STRONG BELIEVER OF [Captioner] 22:01:08 GIVING HOMELESS PEOPLE THE [Captioner] 22:01:11 RESOURCES. [Captioner] 22:01:14 AS YOU CAN SEE, OVER LAST FIVE [Captioner] 22:01:18 YEARS, SINCE 2019, [Captioner] 22:01:23 $24 BILLION OF TAX [Captioner] 22:01:25 PAIR MONEY HAS BEEN SPENT ON [Captioner] 22:01:27 HOMELESSNESS IN CALIFORNIA. [Captioner] 22:01:29 WHAT'S THE RESULT? [Captioner] 22:01:32 THE POPULATION OF HOMELESS [Captioner] 22:01:36 PEOPLE INCREASED BY 30,000 [Captioner] 22:01:37 PEOPLE. [Captioner] 22:01:40 SO THAT THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF [Captioner] 22:01:44 HOMELESS PEOPLE IN CALIFORNIA [Captioner] 22:01:48 REACHED 181,000 PEOPLE [Captioner] 22:01:49 . [Captioner] 22:01:53 WHAT'S THE MESSAGE HERE? [Captioner] 22:01:57 WE REALIZE THAT ONLY BY GIVING [Captioner] 22:01:59 THEM RESOURCES, THAT WITH NO [Captioner] 22:02:03 ENFORCEMENT, WE'RE GOING [Captioner] 22:02:04 NOWHERE. [Captioner] 22:02:07 THIS GOVERNOR, GOVERNING THE [Captioner] 22:02:10 COMPASSIONATE CITY, FACING A LOT [Captioner] 22:02:12 OF CHALLENGES LIKE THE QUESTIONS [Captioner] 22:02:13 RAISED BY THE AUDIENCE, THE [Captioner] 22:02:18 PUBLIC TODAY, STILL [Captioner] 22:02:23 DEFENDING HIS EXECUTIVE ORDER, [Captioner] 22:02:26 AND THEN CITY BY CITY THEY START [Captioner] 22:02:30 TO HAVE THIS CAMPING BAN [Captioner] 22:02:32 ORDINANCE. [Captioner] 22:02:36 SOME PEOPLE SAY OH, BY VIG A [Captioner] 22:02:38 CAMPING BAN ORDINANCE YOU'RE [Captioner] 22:02:40 CRIMINALIZING HOMELESS PEOPLE, [Captioner] 22:02:42 NO NO NO NO NO. [Captioner] 22:02:46 BEING HOMELESS IS NOT A CRIME. [Captioner] 22:02:50 AND THIS PROPOSED CAMPING BAN IS [Captioner] 22:02:51 NOT CRIMINALIZING HOMELESS [Captioner] 22:02:53 PEOPLE. [Captioner] 22:02:57 HOWEVER, BEING HOMELESS DOESN'T [Captioner] 22:03:00 HOMELESS DOESN'T MEAN THAT [Captioner] 22:03:02 PERSON IS ABOVE THE LAW AND CAN [Captioner] 22:03:06 DO WHATEVER HE WANTS. [Captioner] 22:03:10 HE CANNOT OCCUPY PUBLIC PLACES [Captioner] 22:03:13 WHERE IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE CLEAR [Captioner] 22:03:14 BY ALL THE PEOPLE, YOU KNOW, IN [Captioner] 22:03:19 THE CITY, IN THE COMMUNITY, HE [Captioner] 22:03:23 CANNOT JUST CAUSE ANY [Captioner] 22:03:25 ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS, HE DMOLT [Captioner] 22:03:28 PARK HIS CAR WHEREVER HE WANTS, [Captioner] 22:03:30 HE CANNOT, YOU KNOW, HAVE DRUGS [Captioner] 22:03:34 IN PUBLIC OR DEAL WITH DRUGS, IN [Captioner] 22:03:36 DEALING DRUGS IN PUBLIC AND SO [Captioner] 22:03:37 ON, SO FORTH. [Captioner] 22:03:39 HE CANNOT CAUSE ANY, YOU KNOW, [Captioner] 22:03:41 FIRE HAZARDS AND SO ON. [Captioner] 22:03:44 YOU KNOW, I DON'T WANT TO LIST [Captioner] 22:03:45 ALL THE LIST. [Captioner] 22:03:50 BUT WE ACTUALLY SAW NOT ONLY [Captioner] 22:03:53 THE RESIDENTS BUT ALSO [Captioner] 22:03:54 BUSINESSES COME TO THE CITY [Captioner] 22:03:58 COUNCIL, WEEK BY WEEK, TALKING [Captioner] 22:04:04 ABOUT THE ISSUE, THOSE PUBLIC [Captioner] 22:04:05 PEOPLE THOUGHT. [Captioner] 22:04:09 THEREFORE, ONCE AGAIN, TONIGHT [Captioner] 22:04:12 , THIS CAMPING BAN BY NO MEANS [Captioner] 22:04:17 CRIMINALIZES HOMELESS PEOPLE. [Captioner] 22:04:21 RATHER, IT CRIMINALIZES CERTAIN [Captioner] 22:04:25 BEHAVIOR OF A HOMELESS PERSON. [Captioner] 22:04:27 LET'S MAKE THAT STRAIGHT. [Captioner] 22:04:31 SO LIKEWISE, THE EXECUTIVE ORDER [Captioner] 22:04:36 GIVEN BY GOVERNOR NEWSOM NEVER [Captioner] 22:04:40 CRIMINALIZES THE HOMELESS [Captioner] 22:04:40 PEOPLE. [Captioner] 22:04:43 JUST LIKE WHAT WE ARE DISCUSSING [Captioner] 22:04:44 HERE. [Captioner] 22:04:48 I BELIEVE THIS CAMP [Captioner] 22:04:52 ING BAN GIVES THE [Captioner] 22:04:55 POLICE DEPARTMENT OF OUR CITY [Captioner] 22:04:56 AN ADDITIONAL TOOL TO ENFORCE [Captioner] 22:04:58 THE LAW. [Captioner] 22:05:00 WE'RE NOT GOING TO ARREST EACH [Captioner] 22:05:04 AND EVERY HOMELESS PERSON, AS [Captioner] 22:05:05 SOMEONE CLAIMED. [Captioner] 22:05:07 BECAUSE BEING HOMELESS IS NOT A [Captioner] 22:05:09 CRIME. [Captioner] 22:05:13 WE'RE NOT GOING TO [Captioner] 22:05:17 , LIKE AS SOME PEOPLE SAY, YOU [Captioner] 22:05:21 KNOW, JUST MAKE THE LIFE OF [Captioner] 22:05:26 FAMILIES MISERABLE [Captioner] 22:05:27 IN HOLIDAY SEASON. [Captioner] 22:05:30 NO, THIS IS THE DISCUSSION OF [Captioner] 22:05:33 THE DIRECTION THAT WE SHOULD ORE [Captioner] 22:05:37 SHOULD NOT TAKE IN THE FUTURE. [Captioner] 22:05:45 EVEN IF WE PASS THIS THEN IT'S [Captioner] 22:05:46 THE INTRODUCTION PERIOD, IT [Captioner] 22:05:48 GIVES EVERYONE IN THE CITY [Captioner] 22:05:49 GOVERNMENT TIME TO FIGURE OUT A [Captioner] 22:05:54 PLAN TO ENFORCE THIS NEW [Captioner] 22:05:55 ORDINANCE. [Captioner] 22:05:58 LET ALONE THE NEW ORDINANCE [Captioner] 22:06:01 CANNOT BECOME EFFECTIVE UNTIL [Captioner] 22:06:05 SOMETIME NEXT YEAR. [Captioner] 22:06:09 IF WE CONTINUE [Captioner] 22:06:12 TO STICK TO OUR ORIGINAL [Captioner] 22:06:15 APPROACH BY GIVING RESOURCES [Captioner] 22:06:18 UPON RESOURCES UPON RESOURCES WE [Captioner] 22:06:19 SEE THAT IN FREMONT IT DIDN'T [Captioner] 22:06:20 WORK. [Captioner] 22:06:22 WE SEE IN CALIFORNIA IT DIDN'T [Captioner] 22:06:23 WORK. [Captioner] 22:06:27 SO WE HAVE TO THINK OF A NEW [Captioner] 22:06:30 APPROACH. [Captioner] 22:06:34 I'M ALWAYS FOR, YOU KNOW, TWO [Captioner] 22:06:36 PRONG APPROACH. [Captioner] 22:06:39 RESOURCE, AND ENFORCEMENT. [Captioner] 22:06:43 BECAUSE WITH THAT WE CANNOT [Captioner] 22:06:48 ONLY COUNTY THE [Captioner] 22:06:52 COUNTY THE HOMELESS BUT ALSO [Captioner] 22:06:55 SAFEGUARD THE RESIDENTS AND OUR [Captioner] 22:06:56 BUSINESS. [Captioner] 22:06:58 DON'T FORGET, OUR BUSINESS HAS [Captioner] 22:07:00 EQUAL RIGHTS AS TAXPAYER AS [Captioner] 22:07:01 RESIDENTS. [Captioner] 22:07:08 SO WE'RE NOT [Captioner] 22:07:13 IN THE POCKET OF THOSE [Captioner] 22:07:15 BUSINESSES WHEN WE TRY TO DO [Captioner] 22:07:19 SOMETHING FOR THEIR SAFETY. [Captioner] 22:07:23 WE'RE MERELY DOING OUR JOB TO [Captioner] 22:07:26 REPRESENT THOSE BUSINESSES. [Captioner] 22:07:29 SO IN THAT CASE I BELIEVE THIS [Captioner] 22:07:33 IS A TIMELY ORDINANCE [Captioner] 22:07:37 TO PROVIDE THE CITY GOVERNMENT [Captioner] 22:07:41 AND MORE SPECIFICALLY THE LAW [Captioner] 22:07:45 ENFORCEMENT IN THE CITY, [Captioner] 22:07:48 ADDITIONALLY, AND WITH THEIR [Captioner] 22:07:51 DISCRETION, I BELIEVE THAT THEY [Captioner] 22:07:53 CANNOT ONLY HELP THE LOCAL [Captioner] 22:07:56 RESIDENTS AND LOCAL BUSINESS, [Captioner] 22:08:00 THEY CAN ALSO HELP THOSE [Captioner] 22:08:02 HOMELESS PEOPLE BY SETTING UP, [Captioner] 22:08:06 YOU KNOW, A LINE WHERE IS [Captioner] 22:08:09 THEIR RIGHT, AND WHAT CANNOT BE [Captioner] 22:08:10 DONE. [Captioner] 22:08:13 SO IN THAT CASE I THINK IT'S [Captioner] 22:08:18 TIME FOR CALIFORNIA TO MOVE IN A [Captioner] 22:08:19 DIFFERENT DIRECTION. [Captioner] 22:08:22 AND IT'S ALSO THE TIME FOR [Captioner] 22:08:26 FREMONT TO FOLLOW GOVERNOR [Captioner] 22:08:30 NEWSOM AND MOVE INTO A NEW [Captioner] 22:08:32 AREA AS A COMPASSIONATE CITY OR [Captioner] 22:08:35 AS A COMPASSIONATE STATE. [Captioner] 22:08:36 I DON'T THINK WHAT WE'RE TALKING [Captioner] 22:08:38 ABOUT HAS ANYTHING AGAINST BEING [Captioner] 22:08:40 A COMPASSIONATE CITY OR [Captioner] 22:08:43 COMPASSIONATE STATE. [Captioner] 22:08:45 AS EXPLAINED ALREADY BY OUR [Captioner] 22:08:47 GOVERNOR NEWSOM. [Captioner] 22:08:51 SO I AM FOR THE ORDINANCE [Captioner] 22:08:52 . [Captioner] 22:08:55 AND I ENCOURAGE ALL THE PEOPLE [Captioner] 22:08:59 WHO ARE INTERESTED IN HELPING [Captioner] 22:09:03 THE HOMELESS PEOPLE CONTINUE TO [Captioner] 22:09:07 HELP OUR LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT [Captioner] 22:09:09 TO ENFORCE THIS NEW ORDINANCE [Captioner] 22:09:11 PROPERLY. [Captioner] 22:09:13 THAT'S ALL I HAVE TO SAY RIGHT [Captioner] 22:09:15 NOW. [Captioner] 22:09:17 >> Mayor Salwan: THANK YOU, [Captioner] 22:09:18 COUNCILMEMBER. [Captioner] 22:09:20 I JUST RECALL THERE WAS A [Captioner] 22:09:23 MENTION THAT WE HAD TWO NEW [Captioner] 22:09:23 COUNCILMEMBERS. [Captioner] 22:09:25 I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT [Captioner] 22:09:27 YOU GUYS ARE UP TO SPEED ON THIS [Captioner] 22:09:28 ISSUE AND FEEL COMFORTABLE [Captioner] 22:09:32 MAKING A DECISION TONIGHT. [Captioner] 22:09:34 GO AHEAD COUNCILMEMBER LIU. [Captioner] 22:09:36 >> Councilmember Liu: YES, I [Captioner] 22:09:38 DO 100% FEEL CONFIDENT MAKING A [Captioner] 22:09:40 DECISION TONIGHT AND THEN ALSO [Captioner] 22:09:42 ADD IN SOME COMMENTS ABOUT MY [Captioner] 22:09:44 OWN THOUGHTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE. [Captioner] 22:09:46 SO, YOU KNOW, I'VE ALWAYS SAID, [Captioner] 22:09:47 YOU KNOW, THROUGHOUT THE LAST [Captioner] 22:09:50 COUPLE OF MONTHS AND THROUGHOUT, [Captioner] 22:09:52 YOU KNOW, MOST OF MY TIME IN [Captioner] 22:09:55 FREMONT, HOMELESSNESS IS A VERY [Captioner] 22:09:57 COMPLEX PROBLEM AND THE SOLUTION [Captioner] 22:09:59 TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE WILL [Captioner] 22:10:01 NECESSARILY BE COMPLEX AS WELL [Captioner] 22:10:04 AND MULTIFACETED, TO SOLVE SUCH [Captioner] 22:10:05 A PROBLEM. [Captioner] 22:10:06 I THINK THIS ORDINANCE WILL [Captioner] 22:10:08 PROVIDE NOT ONLY THE POLICE BUT [Captioner] 22:10:11 THE CITY OF FREMONT AS WELL, A [Captioner] 22:10:13 VERY -- ANOTHER TOOL AS THEY SAY [Captioner] 22:10:15 IN OUR TOOL BOX TO BE ABLE TO [Captioner] 22:10:17 TACKLE THIS ISSUE. [Captioner] 22:10:20 WE WON'T BE, YOU KNOW, ARRESTED [Captioner] 22:10:22 ALL HOMELESSNESS OR ROUNDING [Captioner] 22:10:24 THEM UP AND SENDING THEM TO [Captioner] 22:10:25 CAMPS. [Captioner] 22:10:27 THAT IS SIMPLY NOT GOING TO [Captioner] 22:10:27 HAPPEN. [Captioner] 22:10:29 WHAT THAT DOES DO AS I SAID [Captioner] 22:10:31 EARLIER ANOTHER AVENUE TO TACKLE [Captioner] 22:10:33 THIS VERY COMPLEX PROBLEM. [Captioner] 22:10:35 NOW, THE OTHER THING I WANT TO [Captioner] 22:10:37 BRING UP, YOU KNOW, IS WE TALKED [Captioner] 22:10:38 A LOT ABOUT HOW THIS AFFECTS [Captioner] 22:10:41 BUSINESSES AND ALL THAT STUFF IN [Captioner] 22:10:42 FREMONT BUT -- IS THIS BETTER, [Captioner] 22:10:44 ALL RIGHT, SO WE TALKED ABOUT [Captioner] 22:10:46 HOW THIS AFFECTS BUSINESSES, IN [Captioner] 22:10:47 FREMONT AND EVERYTHING LIKE THAT [Captioner] 22:10:52 BUT I WANT TO REFOCUS [Captioner] 22:10:55 THIS ON HOW THIS AFFECTS [Captioner] 22:10:56 EVERYDAY CITIZENS IN FREMONT. [Captioner] 22:10:59 I'VE HAD A LOT OF PEOPLE COME UP [Captioner] 22:11:01 TO ME AND TELL ME THAT THEY [Captioner] 22:11:03 DON'T FEEL SAFE USING OUR PARKS, [Captioner] 22:11:05 OR OUR LIBRARIES, BECAUSE OF THE [Captioner] 22:11:09 AMOUNT OF ENCAMPMENTS NEARBY AND [Captioner] 22:11:11 THAT WHILE THEY DO WITNESS SOME [Captioner] 22:11:12 CRIME THEY SAID THAT THEIR [Captioner] 22:11:13 PROBLEMS HAVE NOT BEEN ACTED [Captioner] 22:11:14 UPON. [Captioner] 22:11:16 AND I GUESS THIS TIES BACK INTO [Captioner] 22:11:18 MY QUESTION EARLIER IN THE [Captioner] 22:11:22 NIGHT REGARDING THE MATRIX. [Captioner] 22:11:23 THE REASON I SUPPORT THE [Captioner] 22:11:27 ORDINANCE IS THIS SOMEHOW WOULD [Captioner] 22:11:31 ALLOW PEOPLE TO BYPASSES THE [Captioner] 22:11:32 MATRIX. [Captioner] 22:11:34 THIS GIVES THEM ANOTHER TOOL TO [Captioner] 22:11:35 ADDRESS THEIR ISSUES. [Captioner] 22:11:38 AND, YOU KNOW, LIKE THE OTHER [Captioner] 22:11:40 THING, YOU KNOW, WE TALKED A LOT [Captioner] 22:11:41 ABOUT BEING COMPASSIONATE, [Captioner] 22:11:43 TREATMENT BEING A COMPASSIONATE [Captioner] 22:11:45 CITY, I DO WANT TO POINT OUT [Captioner] 22:11:46 THAT, YOU KNOW, IT'S NOTE [Captioner] 22:11:50 COMPASSIONATE TO CEDE OUR PUBLIC [Captioner] 22:11:53 SPACES IN OUR CITIES, OUR PARKS [Captioner] 22:11:55 OUR LIBRARIES TO A FEW SELECT [Captioner] 22:11:57 INDIVIDUALS AND HAVE A GOOD [Captioner] 22:11:59 MAJORITY OF OUR RESIDENTS BEING [Captioner] 22:12:01 UNSAFE TO USE OUR PARKS AND OUR [Captioner] 22:12:02 LIBRARIES. [Captioner] 22:12:03 PUBLIC SPACES ARE SUPPOSED TO BE [Captioner] 22:12:05 OPEN FOR EVERYBODY AND I AGREE [Captioner] 22:12:07 WITH WHAT HAS BEEN MENTIONED [Captioner] 22:12:08 BEFORE, OUR GOVERNOR OF OUR [Captioner] 22:12:11 STATE HAS ISSUED AN EXECUTIVE [Captioner] 22:12:13 ORDER REGARDING ENCAMPMENT [Captioner] 22:12:14 REMOVAL ALL ACROSS CALIFORNIA. [Captioner] 22:12:17 SO IN THE END I'M READY TO VOTE [Captioner] 22:12:20 ON THIS AND I DO WHOLE HEARTILY [Captioner] 22:12:23 SUPPORT THIS ORDINANCE. [Captioner] 22:12:23 >> Mayor Salwan: COUNCILMEMBER [Captioner] 22:12:25 ZHANG. [Captioner] 22:12:25 >> Councilmember Zhang: THANK [Captioner] 22:12:26 YOU. [Captioner] 22:12:30 I WANT TO ASK A [Captioner] 22:12:31 CLARIFY QUESTION. [Captioner] 22:12:34 WHEN THIS ORDINANCE, YOU KNOW, I [Captioner] 22:12:35 SEE THE TWO GROUPS OF PEOPLE [Captioner] 22:12:37 HAVE SORT OF A DISAGREEMENT IN [Captioner] 22:12:39 UNDERSTANDING THE WORDING. [Captioner] 22:12:42 AND SOME WOULD SAY BASED ON THIS [Captioner] 22:12:45 WORDING, WE, EVEN THE WORST THAT [Captioner] 22:12:47 ANYONE WHO CAMPS WE HAVE A RIGHT [Captioner] 22:12:48 TO REMOVE THEM. [Captioner] 22:12:51 BUT THEN INTERPRETATION IS, ONLY [Captioner] 22:12:55 THE PEOPLE WHO CREATE A HAZARD [Captioner] 22:12:59 OR DAMAGE TO THE PUBLIC, [Captioner] 22:13:02 CREATE SAFETY REASONS WILL BE [Captioner] 22:13:04 REMOVED AND WILL BE HELD [Captioner] 22:13:04 ACCOUNTABLE. [Captioner] 22:13:06 SO CAN WE ACTUALLY -- I THINK [Captioner] 22:13:07 THAT THAT'S THE DIFFERENCE [Captioner] 22:13:08 BETWEEN THE TWO GROUPS OF [Captioner] 22:13:09 THOUGHTS. [Captioner] 22:13:11 SO OTHERWISE, I FEEL LIKE WE'RE [Captioner] 22:13:13 ON THE SAME PAGE. [Captioner] 22:13:13 WE'RE COMPASSIONATE. [Captioner] 22:13:15 WE WANT TO FIND A SOLUTION. [Captioner] 22:13:17 WE WANT TO HELP THE WHOLE [Captioner] 22:13:19 COMMUNITY, INCLUDING HOMELESS [Captioner] 22:13:20 PEOPLE. [Captioner] 22:13:22 SO IS THAT A WAY WE CAN NARROW [Captioner] 22:13:25 DOWN THE WORDING OR THERE IS A [Captioner] 22:13:28 STEP FURTHER, AND YOU WOULD HAVE [Captioner] 22:13:30 THOSE SPECIFIC LIKE, YOU KNOW, [Captioner] 22:13:31 WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO ABOUT [Captioner] 22:13:32 THAT? [Captioner] 22:13:35 SO THAT WE CAN CLARIFY THOSE [Captioner] 22:13:36 MISUNDERSTANDING BETWEEN THE TWO [Captioner] 22:13:37 GROUPS OF THOUGHTS. [Captioner] 22:13:41 THAT'S MY QUESTION. [Captioner] 22:13:45 >> SO THE ORDINANCE ITSELF [Captioner] 22:13:50 APPLIES UNIVERSALLY, IT DOES [Captioner] 22:13:54 NOT SPECIFY YOU KNOW WE WILL [Captioner] 22:13:55 ONLY INTERVENE IN THIS SITUATION [Captioner] 22:13:57 AND THOUGHT THAT SITUATION. [Captioner] 22:13:58 THE ORDINANCE DOES SPECIFICALLY [Captioner] 22:14:00 GRANT THE CITY MANAGER [Captioner] 22:14:05 AUTHORIZATION TO DESIGN POLICIES [Captioner] 22:14:08 TO IMPLEMENT IT. [Captioner] 22:14:11 SO YES, WE CAN FINE-TUNE THAT [Captioner] 22:14:12 LANGUAGE. [Captioner] 22:14:16 BUT I ALSO, AS YOU KNOW, [Captioner] 22:14:17 COUNCILMEMBER, I THINK YOU'VE [Captioner] 22:14:22 HIT ON THE CORE CONCERN, WHICH [Captioner] 22:14:24 , YOU KNOW, DIFFERENT FOLKS WILL [Captioner] 22:14:26 EXPECT THIS ORDINANCE TO DO [Captioner] 22:14:27 DIFFERENT THINGS. [Captioner] 22:14:30 AND IF WE ARE EXPLICIT ABOUT [Captioner] 22:14:32 WHERE AND WHEN INTERVENTION WILL [Captioner] 22:14:36 OCCUR, WE WILL BE HERE HAVING [Captioner] 22:14:38 THAT DEBATE AGAIN. [Captioner] 22:14:42 THAT MIGHT BE OKAY BUT THAT'S [Captioner] 22:14:46 , YOU KNOW, THE OTHER OPTION [Captioner] 22:14:48 WOULD BE TO LET THE OWNERS GO [Captioner] 22:14:51 FORWARD, OBVIOUSLY YOU COULD [Captioner] 22:14:52 VOTE AGAINST IT. [Captioner] 22:14:54 OR YOU COULD LET THE ORDINANCE [Captioner] 22:14:57 GO FORWARD AND THE POLICE [Captioner] 22:15:03 DEPARTMENT WOULD IMPLEMENT ITS [Captioner] 22:15:04 BEST JUDGMENT AS IT DOES WITH [Captioner] 22:15:05 OTHER ORDINANCES THAT ARE OWN [Captioner] 22:15:09 THE BOOKS IN OTHER [Captioner] 22:15:12 CIRCUMSTANCES. [Captioner] 22:15:13 >> Mayor Salwan: SO ARE YOU [Captioner] 22:15:16 COMFORTABLE MAKING A DECISION ON [Captioner] 22:15:17 THIS TONIGHT? [Captioner] 22:15:18 >> Councilmember Zhang: I HAVE [Captioner] 22:15:19 A FURTHER QUESTION. [Captioner] 22:15:21 SO LET'S SEE IF THIS PASSED. [Captioner] 22:15:22 WHAT KIND OF A VEHICLE OR [Captioner] 22:15:25 PLATFORM WE WOULD USE TO HAVING [Captioner] 22:15:28 SOME SPECIFIC POLICY? [Captioner] 22:15:30 THIS IS IT? [Captioner] 22:15:31 >> Mayor Salwan: I THINK WHAT [Captioner] 22:15:34 HE IS SAYING IS IT WOULD BE AT [Captioner] 22:15:37 THE RESIDENTIAL OF THE POLICE [Captioner] 22:15:39 CHIEF OR THE POLICE DEPARTMENT [Captioner] 22:15:43 WOULD DETERMINE WHICH WOULD, [Captioner] 22:15:44 BASED ON THE MATRIX. [Captioner] 22:15:47 >> IT WOULD SEEM APPROPRIATE I [Captioner] 22:15:49 THINK. [Captioner] 22:15:50 >> Karena Shackelford: YES, [Captioner] 22:15:51 ABSOLUTELY. [Captioner] 22:15:53 THIS ORDINANCE BY DESIGN WAS [Captioner] 22:15:58 DEVELOPED TO OFFER BROAD BASED [Captioner] 22:16:00 ENFORCEMENT. [Captioner] 22:16:02 IN RESPONSE TO ALL OF THE THINGS [Captioner] 22:16:04 THAT WERE PRESENTED EARLIER IN [Captioner] 22:16:07 THE PRESENTATION THIS EVENING. [Captioner] 22:16:11 AS ALLEN MENTIONED A MOMENT AGO, [Captioner] 22:16:15 IF WE WERE TO ADD MORE [Captioner] 22:16:19 DEFINITION OR BE MORE SPECIFIC, [Captioner] 22:16:22 IN TERMS OF, YOU KNOW, WHO WE [Captioner] 22:16:24 ENFORCED ON ORE NOT, THAT MAY [Captioner] 22:16:29 VERY WELL BRING -- OR NO, THAT [Captioner] 22:16:31 MAY VERY WELL BRING US BACK HERE [Captioner] 22:16:33 HERE OR A FUTURE DISCUSSION [Captioner] 22:16:34 ABOUT, YOU KNOW, THERE MAY BE [Captioner] 22:16:36 SOME PEOPLE WHO SAY I IMAWLD [Captioner] 22:16:38 THIS PARTICULAR SITUATION AND -- [Captioner] 22:16:40 CALLED ABOUT THIS PARTICULAR [Captioner] 22:16:41 SITUATION AND I WAS TOLD BY THE [Captioner] 22:16:42 POLICE DEPARTMENT OR TOLD BY [Captioner] 22:16:44 STAFF THAT WE COULDN'T ENFORCE. [Captioner] 22:16:46 AND THAT WILL THEN BEG THE [Captioner] 22:16:48 QUESTION WHICH IS ANOTHER THING [Captioner] 22:16:50 THAT BROUGHT US HERE TODAY, BUT [Captioner] 22:16:52 IT WILL BEG THE QUESTION ABOUT [Captioner] 22:16:55 WHY WE AREN'T ENFORCING [Captioner] 22:16:56 ACCORDING TO THE GOVERNOR'S [Captioner] 22:16:57 DIRECTION, YOU KNOW, TO THE [Captioner] 22:17:01 STATE AND TO CITIES. [Captioner] 22:17:05 SO MY RECOMMENDATION WOULD BE TO [Captioner] 22:17:08 NOT TRY AND ADD MORE DEFINITION [Captioner] 22:17:10 BUT TO UNDERSTAND THAT, IN [Captioner] 22:17:12 PRACTICE, AS WE'VE TALKED ABOUT [Captioner] 22:17:14 EARLIER TODAY, WE ARE EXTREMELY [Captioner] 22:17:18 SHORT STAFFED, YOU KNOW, IN OUR [Captioner] 22:17:18 POLICE DEPARTMENT. [Captioner] 22:17:21 AND SO ENFORCEMENT WOULD NEED TO [Captioner] 22:17:22 BE PRIORITIZED. [Captioner] 22:17:24 AND I WOULD IMAGINE THAT WE [Captioner] 22:17:29 WOULD STILL, YOU KNOW, FOLLOW [Captioner] 22:17:31 VERY CLOSELY THE GUIDELINES THAT [Captioner] 22:17:34 WE DO NOW, IN TERMS OF [Captioner] 22:17:37 ADDRESSING THE MOST IMPACTED [Captioner] 22:17:40 AREAS FIRST, YOU KNOW, IF WE [Captioner] 22:17:41 WERE TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THIS. [Captioner] 22:17:44 >> Councilmember Zhang: THANK [Captioner] 22:17:44 YOU VERY MUCH. [Captioner] 22:17:48 OKAY I THINK I'M READY TO MAKE A [Captioner] 22:17:49 DECISION AS WELL. [Captioner] 22:17:51 >> Mayor Salwan: OKAY. [Captioner] 22:17:54 VICE MAYOR CAMPBELL. [Captioner] 22:17:58 >> Vice Mayor Campbell: OKAY. [Captioner] 22:18:00 I DO HAVE A COUPLE OF OTHER [Captioner] 22:18:00 QUESTIONS. [Captioner] 22:18:02 BECAUSE I'M STILL TORN BETWEEN [Captioner] 22:18:04 THIS IDEA OF WHAT'S AN [Captioner] 22:18:07 ENCAMPMENT AND WHAT'S A CAMP. [Captioner] 22:18:11 IN THE ORDINANCE ITSELF, IT'S [Captioner] 22:18:13 ONE OF THE WHEREASES CLAUSES [Captioner] 22:18:19 SAYS THAT THE CITY CLEANED OUT [Captioner] 22:18:21 223 ENCAMPMENTS. [Captioner] 22:18:25 AND TONS OF DEBRIS. [Captioner] 22:18:32 SO OBVIOUSLY, THERE WAS [Captioner] 22:18:36 SOME DEFINITION BEHIND WHAT AN [Captioner] 22:18:38 ENCAMPMENT WAS TO BE ABLE TO [Captioner] 22:18:42 COME UP WITH 223 OF THEM. [Captioner] 22:18:47 AND IF THIS ORDINANCE IS [Captioner] 22:18:50 BROADENED, IT WOULD BE FAR MORE [Captioner] 22:18:52 THAN 223. [Captioner] 22:18:54 BECAUSE YOU'RE NOW INCLUDING [Captioner] 22:18:58 PEOPLE WHO ARE IN CARS OR WHO [Captioner] 22:19:01 PITCHED A TENT OVER BY THE [Captioner] 22:19:05 LIQUOR STORE, OR -- AND [Captioner] 22:19:07 IS COMPLAINT BASED, SO THAT [Captioner] 22:19:10 MEANS IT COULD BE [Captioner] 22:19:11 DISCRIMINATORY, BECAUSE I COULD [Captioner] 22:19:15 BE HOMELESS AND NOT MENTALLY ILL [Captioner] 22:19:19 OR NOTE VIOLENT, BUT YOU KNOW [Captioner] 22:19:21 BECAUSE OF THE COLOR OF MY SKIN [Captioner] 22:19:23 SOMEBODY WOULD BE COMPLAINING [Captioner] 22:19:25 ABOUT ME AROUND YOU'D COME AND [Captioner] 22:19:27 ABATE ME OR MOVE ME OUT. [Captioner] 22:19:31 SO IT'S VERY, VERY SUBJECTIVE. [Captioner] 22:19:35 AND IT COULD BE UNFAIRLY [Captioner] 22:19:37 ADMINISTERED BASED ON THE WAY [Captioner] 22:19:39 SOMEBODY PERCEIVES [Captioner] 22:19:39 HOMELESSNESS. [Captioner] 22:19:41 SO I'M A BIT CONCERNED ABOUT [Captioner] 22:19:41 THAT. [Captioner] 22:19:44 THAT'S ONE. [Captioner] 22:19:45 I'LL COME BACK TO THE SECOND ONE [Captioner] 22:19:48 IN A MINUTE. [Captioner] 22:19:50 >> THANK YOU FOR ASKING THAT [Captioner] 22:19:50 QUESTION AGAIN. [Captioner] 22:19:52 IT'S ACTUALLY THE DEFINITION OF [Captioner] 22:19:54 ENCAMPMENT IS A DEBATE THAT MANY [Captioner] 22:19:55 COMMUNITIES HAVE. [Captioner] 22:19:57 IT'S NOT EASY TO CRAFT A [Captioner] 22:19:58 DEFINITION. [Captioner] 22:20:00 I WILL SAY IN PRACTICE WE USE [Captioner] 22:20:05 THE TERM ENCAMPMENT AS [Captioner] 22:20:07 UNSHELTERED LOCATION THAT PEOPLE [Captioner] 22:20:08 ARE STAYING IN. [Captioner] 22:20:10 SO IT'S AN ENCAMPMENT IF [Captioner] 22:20:13 SOMEONE'S IN AN ABANDONED [Captioner] 22:20:13 BUILDING. [Captioner] 22:20:15 IT IS AN ENCAMPMENT IF A PERSON [Captioner] 22:20:18 IS IN A VEHICLE, UNDER A TENT, [Captioner] 22:20:22 IN A TARP, IN A SLEEPING BAG, IF [Captioner] 22:20:26 THEY HAVE THEIR [Captioner] 22:20:28 BELONGINGS WITH THEM. [Captioner] 22:20:32 THIS IS NOT ORDAINED [Captioner] 22:20:35 ANYWHERE, IT IS A FIXED [Captioner] 22:20:37 LOCATION WHERE PEOPLE ARE [Captioner] 22:20:39 LEAVING THEIR BELONGINGS EVEN [Captioner] 22:20:41 WHEN THEY ARE NOT THERE. [Captioner] 22:20:42 STAFF DETERMINED IF SOMETHING IS [Captioner] 22:20:44 AN ENCAMPMENT IF WE MAKE [Captioner] 22:20:47 MULTIPLE VISITS AND [Captioner] 22:20:47 ASSESSMENTS. [Captioner] 22:20:49 IDEALLY ENGAGING WITH SOMEONE [Captioner] 22:20:51 THAT IS LIVING THERE. [Captioner] 22:20:52 A SITUATION WHERE SOMEONE IS [Captioner] 22:20:55 SETTING UP A CAMP AND MOVING ON, [Captioner] 22:20:59 THAT IS NOT SOMETHING WE ARE [Captioner] 22:21:00 ENCOUNTERING VERY MUCH. [Captioner] 22:21:01 THAT IS WHY OUR COUNT CAN BE [Captioner] 22:21:03 REALLY A BASELINE AND [Captioner] 22:21:04 UNDERSTATED. [Captioner] 22:21:05 BECAUSE MANY PEOPLE ARE TRYING [Captioner] 22:21:07 TO MOVE AROUND AND AVOID THOSE [Captioner] 22:21:07 CONTACTS. [Captioner] 22:21:11 WE USE THE TERM ENCAMPMENT [Captioner] 22:21:12 REALLY UNSHELTERED LOCATIONS [Captioner] 22:21:15 PEOPLE ARE USING AS A FIXED [Captioner] 22:21:17 LOCATION WHERE PEOPLE ARE [Captioner] 22:21:18 KEEPING THEIR STUFF. [Captioner] 22:21:20 I DON'T SEIZE IN DEFINITION AS [Captioner] 22:21:21 EXPANDING THIS. [Captioner] 22:21:23 THIS IS AN EXPANDED VERSION THAT [Captioner] 22:21:26 WE USE IN PRACTICE. [Captioner] 22:21:27 >> Cty. Attny. Alvarado: MAY I [Captioner] 22:21:29 ADD TO RESPOND TO MAYBE SOME OF [Captioner] 22:21:30 THE COMMENTS THAT WE HAVE HEARD [Captioner] 22:21:32 FROM OUR COMMUNITY. [Captioner] 22:21:33 >> Sean Washington: REGARDING [Captioner] 22:21:35 MY DIRECTION OF HOW WE WOULD [Captioner] 22:21:37 RESPOND IF THIS ORDINANCE DID GO [Captioner] 22:21:38 THROUGH. [Captioner] 22:21:43 I'VE BEEN ON RECORD TO SAY THAT [Captioner] 22:21:46 I SUPPORT PROJECTS LIKE THE [Captioner] 22:21:48 HOUSING NAVIGATION CENTER. [Captioner] 22:21:50 THE ISSUE IS TO GET INDIVIDUALS [Captioner] 22:21:51 OFF OF THE STREETS AND INTO [Captioner] 22:21:53 HOUSING. [Captioner] 22:21:55 NO -- THAT CANNOT BE DEBATED. [Captioner] 22:21:57 THAT IS THE OBJECTIVE. [Captioner] 22:22:01 HOWEVER ON BALANCE [Captioner] 22:22:04 WE -- I BELIEVE THAT WE HAVE TO [Captioner] 22:22:08 HAVE COMPASSION AND TOOLS AND [Captioner] 22:22:10 SEEK COOPERATION, WHEN SOMETIMES [Captioner] 22:22:13 ENCAMPMENTS OR INDIVIDUALS CAUSE [Captioner] 22:22:16 HARM OR DISRUPT PUBLIC ORDER. [Captioner] 22:22:18 AND THAT'S WHAT WE'RE TALKING [Captioner] 22:22:19 ABOUT HERE. [Captioner] 22:22:22 HAVING AN ORDERLY RESPONSE TO A [Captioner] 22:22:26 VERY COMPLEX SITUATION. [Captioner] 22:22:28 UNDER MY DIRECTION, SEEKING [Captioner] 22:22:29 COMPLIANCE IS ALWAYS THE FIRST [Captioner] 22:22:32 AND PRIMARY OBJECTIVE. [Captioner] 22:22:33 FOR ANYONE TO BELIEVE THAT WE'RE [Captioner] 22:22:35 GOING TO GO OUT THERE AND START [Captioner] 22:22:37 ARRESTING PEOPLE OUT OF THEIR [Captioner] 22:22:41 TENTS BECAUSE THEY'RE REFUSING [Captioner] 22:22:45 TO MOVE THAT IS NOT A [Captioner] 22:22:49 A, PRACTICAL, I DON'T HAVE THE [Captioner] 22:22:51 STAFF TO DO THAT DEPOSIT IT [Captioner] 22:22:53 DOESN'T ALIGN WITH OUR [Captioner] 22:22:55 OBJECTIVES AS A CITY BEING A [Captioner] 22:22:55 COMPASSIONATE CITY. [Captioner] 22:22:58 SO HOWEVER WE, I THINK MOST OF [Captioner] 22:23:00 THE TIME WE ARE ABLE TO GAIN [Captioner] 22:23:03 COMPLIANCE IF WE FEEL LIKE A [Captioner] 22:23:04 CERTAIN ENCAMPMENT THAT IS [Captioner] 22:23:08 IMPACTING AN AREA, MOST OF THE [Captioner] 22:23:11 TIME A CONVERSATION WILL GAIN [Captioner] 22:23:12 COMPLIANCE. [Captioner] 22:23:14 THE STATUS OF THAT PERSON HAS [Captioner] 22:23:19 NOT BEEN CHANGED. [Captioner] 22:23:21 IN FACT AN ARGUMENT COULD BE [Captioner] 22:23:23 MADE THAT WE'VE INTRODUCED [Captioner] 22:23:28 RESOURCES TO GIVE THEM OPTIONS [Captioner] 22:23:34 OR LITERATURE THAT WE [Captioner] 22:23:36 HAVE TO OFFER THESE INDIVIDUALS [Captioner] 22:23:39 BUT MOST OF THE TIME WE DO [Captioner] 22:23:41 ACHIEVE COMPLIANCE, FRIENDLY [Captioner] 22:23:44 COMPLIANCE, WHICH THE OBJECTIVE [Captioner] 22:23:46 IS TO NOT ISSUE CITATIONS OR [Captioner] 22:23:46 ARREST. [Captioner] 22:23:48 THERE IS A RARE OCCASION JUST [Captioner] 22:23:50 LIKE WITH WHETHER YOU'RE HOUSED [Captioner] 22:23:53 OR UNHOUSED, WHERE FOLKS MAY [Captioner] 22:23:56 REFUSE TO COMPLY. [Captioner] 22:23:57 AND AT THAT POINT, WE WOULD [Captioner] 22:23:59 STILL TRY TO DO EVERYTHING WE [Captioner] 22:24:01 POSSIBLY COULD TO GAIN [Captioner] 22:24:02 COMPLIANCE WITHOUT THE [Captioner] 22:24:03 ENFORCEMENT PIECE OF IT. [Captioner] 22:24:05 IT'S THE SAME DISCRETION THAT [Captioner] 22:24:08 OUR OFFICERS HAVE WHEN WE STOP [Captioner] 22:24:13 INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE COMMITTED A [Captioner] 22:24:16 VEHICLE CODE VIOLATION. [Captioner] 22:24:18 THEY HAVE AN OPTION TO ISSUE A [Captioner] 22:24:19 CITATION. [Captioner] 22:24:20 THEY ALSO HAVE AN OPTION OF [Captioner] 22:24:22 TRYING TO GAIN COMPLIANCE BY [Captioner] 22:24:24 ASKING THAT THEY DRIVE IN A [Captioner] 22:24:26 SAFER MANNER. [Captioner] 22:24:30 BOTH OF EFFECTIVE. [Captioner] 22:24:31 HOWEVER WE ARE DEALING WITH [Captioner] 22:24:33 HUMAN BEINGS AND WE WANT TO [Captioner] 22:24:35 START WITH THE COMPASSION SIDE [Captioner] 22:24:37 IN ENSURING THAT WE DO [Captioner] 22:24:38 EVERYTHING WE CAN TO GET [Captioner] 22:24:38 COMPLIANCE. [Captioner] 22:24:40 SO I JUST THOUGHT THAT THAT WAS [Captioner] 22:24:42 IMPORTANT FOR ME ESPECIALLY AS A [Captioner] 22:24:43 POLICE CHIEF FOR THE COMMUNITY [Captioner] 22:24:44 TO UNDERSTAND THAT UNDER MY [Captioner] 22:24:46 LEADERSHIP AND DIRECTION, THAT [Captioner] 22:24:48 THAT IS GOING TO BE THE PRIMARY [Captioner] 22:24:51 OBJECTIVE, IS TO GET VOLUNTARY [Captioner] 22:24:54 COMPLIANCE, IF WE FEEL LIKE AN [Captioner] 22:24:55 ENCAMPMENT IS IMPACTING OUR [Captioner] 22:24:57 COMMUNITY IN A NEGATIVE WAY. [Captioner] 22:24:58 THAT IS THE OBJECTIVE. [Captioner] 22:25:02 I DO NOT BELIEVE, AS A POLICE [Captioner] 22:25:04 CHIEF, THAT WE CAN ARREST OUR [Captioner] 22:25:05 WAY OUT OF THIS PROBLEM. [Captioner] 22:25:08 OUR CITE OUR WAY OUT OF THE -- [Captioner] 22:25:10 OR SITE OUR WAY OUT OF THE [Captioner] 22:25:10 PROBLEM. [Captioner] 22:25:13 BUT I ALSO HAVE TO HAVE THOSE [Captioner] 22:25:14 TOOLS FOR SOME INDIVIDUALS IN [Captioner] 22:25:16 OUR COMMUNITY THAT MAY FLAT OUT [Captioner] 22:25:19 REFUSE OR DEFY A LAWFUL ORDER TO [Captioner] 22:25:21 ENSURE THAT OUR PUBLIC REMAINS [Captioner] 22:25:23 SAFE AND SECURE AND COMFORTABLE [Captioner] 22:25:24 IN THEIR SPACE. [Captioner] 22:25:26 SO I JUST OFFER THAT. [Captioner] 22:25:27 >> Vice Mayor Campbell: AND I [Captioner] 22:25:28 COMPLETELY UNDERSTAND AND I [Captioner] 22:25:31 BELIEVE THAT TO BE TRUE. [Captioner] 22:25:34 BUT WHAT I'M -- BUT WHAT I HEARD [Captioner] 22:25:38 FROM YOU IS SORT OF [Captioner] 22:25:40 CONTRADICTORY TO SOME DEGREE. [Captioner] 22:25:42 BECAUSE OF THE FACT THAT YOU [Captioner] 22:25:45 SAID YOU'D TRY TO GET VOLUNTARY [Captioner] 22:25:46 COMPLIANCE BUT YOU NEED A TOOL [Captioner] 22:25:48 IN THE TOOL KIT. [Captioner] 22:25:49 BUT IF YOU'RE DEALING WITH [Captioner] 22:25:51 PEOPLE WHO HAVE ALREADY BROKEN [Captioner] 22:25:55 THE LAW OR ARE CAUSING UNLAWFUL [Captioner] 22:25:57 ACTS YOU ALREADY HAVE A TOOL [Captioner] 22:25:59 KIT. [Captioner] 22:26:00 AND IF THEY'RE SPEEDING FOR [Captioner] 22:26:02 EXAMPLE, YOU ALREADY HAVE A TOOL [Captioner] 22:26:03 KIT. [Captioner] 22:26:04 BUT YOU CHOOSE NOT TO USE THE [Captioner] 22:26:06 TOOL IN THE KIT. [Captioner] 22:26:09 YOU CHOOSE TO GO IN A DIFFERENT [Captioner] 22:26:10 DIRECTION, SO WHY DO YOU NEED A [Captioner] 22:26:12 TOOL KIT WHEN YOU ALREADY HAVE A [Captioner] 22:26:12 LAW? [Captioner] 22:26:13 DR. [Captioner] 22:26:14 >> Sean Washington: FOR [Captioner] 22:26:14 FLEXIBILITY. [Captioner] 22:26:17 SO IN ORDER FOR ME -- AND WE [Captioner] 22:26:18 POLICE WITH THE CONSENT OF THE [Captioner] 22:26:19 COMMUNITY, RIGHT? [Captioner] 22:26:22 AND SO WE'RE GOING TO BE [Captioner] 22:26:26 RESPONSIVE TO ISSUES THAT MAY [Captioner] 22:26:28 NOT SURFACE IN THE TRADITIONAL [Captioner] 22:26:30 WAY THAT IT DOES NOW. [Captioner] 22:26:33 WHERE WE HAVE A GROUP THAT COMES [Captioner] 22:26:35 TOGETHER, WE TALK ABOUT IT AND [Captioner] 22:26:36 THOSE TYPE OF THINGS. [Captioner] 22:26:37 THERE MAY BE SOMETHING THAT [Captioner] 22:26:40 SPONTANEOUSLY POPS UP THAT [Captioner] 22:26:43 DOESN'T FIT WITHIN OUR [Captioner] 22:26:44 HISTORICAL WAY TO DEAL WITH [Captioner] 22:26:45 THESE THINGS. [Captioner] 22:26:47 FROM MY PERSPECTIVE, THERE'S [Captioner] 22:26:49 NOTE A LOT THAT CHANGES, OTHER [Captioner] 22:26:52 THAN MY ABILITY TO HAVE A LITTLE [Captioner] 22:26:54 BIT MORE FLEXIBILITY AND BE A [Captioner] 22:26:56 LITTLE BIT MORE RESPONSIVE AND [Captioner] 22:26:59 STILL MAKE IT A REASONABLE AND [Captioner] 22:27:00 RESPONSIBLE ASSESSMENT ON [Captioner] 22:27:02 WHETHER OR NOT WE SHOULD EVEN BE [Captioner] 22:27:03 FOLLOWING UP. [Captioner] 22:27:05 SO THE OTHER THING IS IF WE GET [Captioner] 22:27:10 10 -- 100 COMPLAINTS A DAY AND [Captioner] 22:27:12 WE PROBABLY GET THAT, THIS [Captioner] 22:27:13 ORDINANCE GOES THROUGH, WE STILL [Captioner] 22:27:15 HAVE THE SAME CAPACITY TO DEAL [Captioner] 22:27:17 WITH, ONE AT A TIME. [Captioner] 22:27:19 SO THERE'S NOT GOING TO BE A LOT [Captioner] 22:27:19 THERE. [Captioner] 22:27:22 SO THOSE 100 COMPLAINTS, 99 OF [Captioner] 22:27:23 THOSE COMPLAINTS ARE PROBABLY [Captioner] 22:27:25 GOING TO GO UN-- WE'RE NOT GOING [Captioner] 22:27:27 TO HAVE THE ABILITY TO FOLLOW UP [Captioner] 22:27:29 WITH THOSE IN OUR CURRENT [Captioner] 22:27:30 STRUCTURE RIGHT NOW. [Captioner] 22:27:31 >> Vice Mayor Campbell: RIGHT, [Captioner] 22:27:31 RIGHT. [Captioner] 22:27:35 I DO HAVE ONE MORE [Captioner] 22:27:39 POINT ON THIS THAT KIND OF [Captioner] 22:27:41 PROBABLY NEEDS SOME [Captioner] 22:27:42 CLARIFICATION. [Captioner] 22:27:44 THAT'S THE PUNITIVE PIECE OF [Captioner] 22:27:48 THIS, OR THE WHAT YOU'RE CALLING [Captioner] 22:27:51 THE ENFORCEMENT PIECE ON THIS. [Captioner] 22:27:55 AND IT DOES SAY THAT IF THEY -- [Captioner] 22:27:58 IF ANY PERSON CAUSING -- I'M [Captioner] 22:28:00 GOING TO READ IT, PERMITTING, [Captioner] 22:28:03 AIDING, ABETTING OR CONCEALING A [Captioner] 22:28:04 VIOLATION OF THIS CHAPTER SHALL [Captioner] 22:28:07 BE GUILTY OF A MISDEMEANOR AND [Captioner] 22:28:09 MAY BE PROSECUTED AS A [Captioner] 22:28:11 MISDEMEANOR UPON CONVICTION, BE [Captioner] 22:28:13 SUBJECT TO A THOUSAND DOLLAR [Captioner] 22:28:17 FINE AND/OR IMPRISONMENT IN THE [Captioner] 22:28:18 CITY JAIL WHICH WE DON'T HAVE [Captioner] 22:28:21 UNLESS YOU PLANNED ON OPENING [Captioner] 22:28:23 IT, FOR A PERIOD OF SIX MONTHS [Captioner] 22:28:26 OR MORE OR BOTH. [Captioner] 22:28:29 THE FINE AND THE IMPRISONMENT. [Captioner] 22:28:32 THEN IT GOES ON TO SAY THAT THE [Captioner] 22:28:36 CITY CAN BRING A CIVIL ACTION [Captioner] 22:28:38 AGAINST A PERSON BY THE CITY [Captioner] 22:28:44 ATTORNEY, IF THOUGH VIOLATE THIS [Captioner] 22:28:46 PARTICULAR ORDINANCE. [Captioner] 22:28:51 IT COST SEEM A BIT PUNITIVE, AND [Captioner] 22:28:52 I HEARD, I'M HEARING THAT [Captioner] 22:28:54 THAT'S NOT WHAT WE REALLY WANT [Captioner] 22:28:55 TO DO. [Captioner] 22:28:57 WE DON'T WANT TO -- BECAUSE [Captioner] 22:28:58 BEING HOMELESS OR BEING [Captioner] 22:29:00 UNSHELTERED OR LIVING IN A TENT [Captioner] 22:29:03 OR CAR IS NOT A CRIME. [Captioner] 22:29:06 BUT THIS ORDINANCE MAKES IT A [Captioner] 22:29:08 CRIME BY WHAT THIS ENFORCEMENT [Captioner] 22:29:10 PIECE THAT'S PUNITIVE. [Captioner] 22:29:12 CAN YOU SPEAK TO THAT FOR ME? [Captioner] 22:29:16 OR SHARE YOUR THOSE ON THAT ONE? [Captioner] 22:29:19 >> Sean Washington: YES, I [Captioner] 22:29:20 CERTAINLY CAN AND MAYBE THE CITY [Captioner] 22:29:22 ATTORNEY CAN HELP ME OUT AS FAR [Captioner] 22:29:25 AS -- BUT WHAT'S BEING DESCRIBED [Captioner] 22:29:27 THERE IS THE DEFERTION OF A [Captioner] 22:29:28 MISDEMEANOR. [Captioner] 22:29:31 AND -- THE DEFINITION OF A [Captioner] 22:29:32 MISDEMEANOR. [Captioner] 22:29:34 AND AGAIN LAWS, ORDINANCES, [Captioner] 22:29:39 VIOLATIONS, ALL HAVE SOME [Captioner] 22:29:43 SORT OF CONSEQUENCE [Captioner] 22:29:46 BEHIND IT. [Captioner] 22:29:50 AND THEY'RE MOANT TO TRY TO [Captioner] 22:29:52 DISCOURAGE OR GAIN COMPLIANCE, [Captioner] 22:29:52 RIGHT? [Captioner] 22:29:55 SO THE REASON WHY, MOST OF US [Captioner] 22:29:56 HOPEFULLY STOP AT A RED LIGHT IS [Captioner] 22:29:58 BECAUSE THE LIGHT IS RED AND WE [Captioner] 22:30:00 WANT TO COMPLY WITH THE LAW BUT [Captioner] 22:30:03 ALSO SOME FEAR GETTING A RED [Captioner] 22:30:05 LIGHT TICKET, OKAY, OR AN [Captioner] 22:30:09 EXTENT, [Captioner] 22:30:13 DOESN'T, RIGHT, EEN WORSE. [Captioner] 22:30:16 FROM -- OR AN ACCIDENT, RIGHT, [Captioner] 22:30:17 EVEN WORSE. [Captioner] 22:30:19 FROM MY EXPERIENCE, HAVING THE [Captioner] 22:30:20 CONSEQUENCE BE DEFINED IS JUST [Captioner] 22:30:21 THAT. [Captioner] 22:30:24 IT'S TO TRY TO ENSURE THAT WE [Captioner] 22:30:27 HAVE SOMETHING IN PLACE TO WHERE [Captioner] 22:30:30 IF WE DON'T GET THAT VOLUNTARY [Captioner] 22:30:31 COMPLIANCE WHICH IS WHERE WE [Captioner] 22:30:35 WANT TO START, THOSE ARE THE [Captioner] 22:30:35 CONSEQUENCES. [Captioner] 22:30:36 IF WE DON'T. [Captioner] 22:30:38 BUT THAT PROCESS COULD TAKE [Captioner] 22:30:41 SEVERAL DAYS, A WEEK, WHATEVER [Captioner] 22:30:45 IS REASONABLE, DEPENDING ON THE [Captioner] 22:30:46 CIRCUMSTANCES. [Captioner] 22:30:48 AND SO THAT'S, FROM MY [Captioner] 22:30:50 PERSPECTIVE, THAT IS WHY, YOU [Captioner] 22:30:54 KNOW, IT HAS TO READ WITH A -- [Captioner] 22:30:56 IT DOESN'T HAVE TO READ THAT WAY [Captioner] 22:30:59 BUT THE CONSEQUENCES BEING [Captioner] 22:31:02 OUTLINED KIND OF PROVIDE [Captioner] 22:31:03 KNOWLEDGE AND INFORMATION TO [Captioner] 22:31:05 THOSE THAT MIGHT BE IMPACTED BY [Captioner] 22:31:06 THIS. [Captioner] 22:31:07 >> Vice Mayor Campbell: YOA, [Captioner] 22:31:08 AND I GET THAT. [Captioner] 22:31:09 I KNOW THAT THERE ARE [Captioner] 22:31:11 CONSEQUENCES FOR MISACTION. [Captioner] 22:31:17 CAN THIS BE STRICKEN? [Captioner] 22:31:18 IS THIS SOMETHING THAT HAS TO BE [Captioner] 22:31:21 IN HERE, IN THIS FORM? [Captioner] 22:31:25 IS THIS WORDING SOLIDIFIED [Captioner] 22:31:29 IN GOLD? [Captioner] 22:31:30 >> Cty. Attny. Alvarado: NO, [Captioner] 22:31:31 THIS IS A PROPOSAL AND THE [Captioner] 22:31:34 PURPOSE THIS EVENING IS FOR [Captioner] 22:31:38 COUNCIL TO EXPLORE WHETHER IT IS [Captioner] 22:31:40 INTERESTED IN MOVING THIS [Captioner] 22:31:44 INFORMED, AND STAFF IS [Captioner] 22:31:45 RECOMMENDING MOVING ID FORWARD. [Captioner] 22:31:47 THAT IS ALWAYS AVAILABLE AS AN [Captioner] 22:31:50 OPTION TO THIS COUNCIL, IF THIS [Captioner] 22:31:53 COUNCIL SETS POLICY, WE PROVIDE [Captioner] 22:31:54 RECOMMENDATIONS. [Captioner] 22:31:55 >> Vice Mayor Campbell: I JUST [Captioner] 22:31:57 HAVE VERY, VERY, VERY, VERY, [Captioner] 22:31:58 VERY, VERY COMISMED FEELINGS [Captioner] 22:32:03 ABOUT THIS, BECAUSE [Captioner] 22:32:14 VERY, VERY MIXED FEELINGS ABOUT [Captioner] 22:32:16 THIS, HIM CALLING ME, BEING [Captioner] 22:32:19 FRIGHTENED, BEING HARASSED BY [Captioner] 22:32:20 POLICE OFFICERS AND BEING THROWN [Captioner] 22:32:20 AROUND. [Captioner] 22:32:22 AND SO I REALLY FEEL LIKE I KNOW [Captioner] 22:32:24 WE HAVE TO DO SOMETHING. [Captioner] 22:32:27 BUT I DON'T FEEL LIKE THIS IS [Captioner] 22:32:27 IT. [Captioner] 22:32:28 I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS THAT WE [Captioner] 22:32:29 NEED TO DO. [Captioner] 22:32:30 I HAVE BEEN RESEARCHING. [Captioner] 22:32:34 I KNOW ABOUT THE 14 OTHER CITIES [Captioner] 22:32:36 IN FREMONT THAT IS DOING [Captioner] 22:32:36 THINGS. [Captioner] 22:32:38 I GET COMPLAINTS ALL THE TIME [Captioner] 22:32:42 FROM MY DISTRICT FROM CITIZENS [Captioner] 22:32:43 IN MY DISTRICT ABOUT WHAT'S [Captioner] 22:32:44 GOING ON. [Captioner] 22:32:47 BUT I'M JUST NOT SURE THIS IS [Captioner] 22:32:47 IT. [Captioner] 22:32:49 BECAUSE OF THE PUNITIVE NATURE [Captioner] 22:32:52 OF IT, BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE [Captioner] 22:32:54 ENOUGH RESOURCES, WE HAVE A FIVE [Captioner] 22:32:57 YEAR ACTION PLAN, WE'RE LOOKING [Captioner] 22:32:59 FOR MONEY, WE DON'T HAVE STAFF. [Captioner] 22:33:02 I MEAN IT JUST SEEMS TO ME THAT, [Captioner] 22:33:05 AND IT IS THE HOLIDAY SEASON, [Captioner] 22:33:08 MAY NOT BE THE BEST TIME TO BE [Captioner] 22:33:10 TELLING PEOPLE THAT IN 90 DAYS [Captioner] 22:33:12 YOU MAY NOT HAVE A PLACE TO LIVE [Captioner] 22:33:14 AND IT'S GOING TO BE MARCH AND [Captioner] 22:33:15 IT'S STILL GOING TO BE COLD. [Captioner] 22:33:19 SO I'M JUST NOT -- NOT IN [Captioner] 22:33:21 SUPPORT OF THIS METHOD. [Captioner] 22:33:24 I'M IN SUPPORT OF SOME PROGRAM [Captioner] 22:33:26 AND OPTIONS THAT WE COULD GIVE [Captioner] 22:33:28 PEOPLE BUT WE'RE LIMITED IN [Captioner] 22:33:28 RESOURCES. [Captioner] 22:33:31 AND IF WE'RE GOING TO TAKE A [Captioner] 22:33:32 MILLION DOLLARS PLUS TO [Captioner] 22:33:34 IMPLEMENT THIS, WHY CAN'T WE GET [Captioner] 22:33:35 SOME BEDS? [Captioner] 22:33:38 WHY CAN'T WE EXPAND ABODE? [Captioner] 22:33:40 WHY CAN'T WE DO SOMETHING ELSE [Captioner] 22:33:43 THAT PROVIDES THE SHELTER THAT [Captioner] 22:33:45 THESE FOLKS NEED, I JUST -- I [Captioner] 22:33:49 RECOGNIZE THE HARD WORK, I NOE [Captioner] 22:33:50 THAT YOU WANT THE VERY, VERY [Captioner] 22:33:53 BEST FOR EVERY CITIZEN IN [Captioner] 22:33:55 FREMONT, SHELTERED OR [Captioner] 22:33:56 UNSHELTERED, BUT I JUST DON'T [Captioner] 22:33:58 THINK THAT WE SHOULD BE PUTTING [Captioner] 22:34:00 PEOPLE WHO ARE -- JUST THAT GUY [Captioner] 22:34:01 WHO LIVES ACROSS FROM THE [Captioner] 22:34:03 LIBRARY, HE'S BEEN THERE BY [Captioner] 22:34:05 KAISER FOR MANY, MANY MANY YEARS [Captioner] 22:34:07 AND NOW WE'RE JUST GOING TO PASS [Captioner] 22:34:09 AN ORDINANCE AND THEN WHERE ARE [Captioner] 22:34:10 WE GOING TO PUT HIM? [Captioner] 22:34:12 I'M SURE YOU'VE BEEN OUT THERE [Captioner] 22:34:13 ASKING THAT GUY A NUMBER OF [Captioner] 22:34:15 TIMES IF HE WANTED TO FIND [Captioner] 22:34:17 SHELTER AND HE HAS NOT. [Captioner] 22:34:19 SO WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO? [Captioner] 22:34:21 THROW HIM IN JAIL? [Captioner] 22:34:23 BECAUSE HE'S NOT GOING TO BE [Captioner] 22:34:24 COMPLIANT. [Captioner] 22:34:25 AND I DON'T FEEL THAT THAT'S THE [Captioner] 22:34:27 ANSWER OR THE LEADERSHIP THAT WE [Captioner] 22:34:29 WANT FOR FREMONT, IS TO BE ABLE [Captioner] 22:34:31 TO THROW PEOPLE IN JAIL. [Captioner] 22:34:34 BECAUSE THAT GUY IS NOT GOING [Captioner] 22:34:34 ANYWHERE. [Captioner] 22:34:37 I DO UNDERSTAND THAT WE GOT [Captioner] 22:34:39 TRASH AND DEBRIS AND HEALTH AND [Captioner] 22:34:44 SAFETY, I'M IN PUBLIC SAFETY, [Captioner] 22:34:46 I MEAN PUBLIC HEALTH MYSELF, SO [Captioner] 22:34:47 I GET THAT. [Captioner] 22:34:50 BUT I DON'T KNOW THAT WE HAVE [Captioner] 22:34:52 THE RESOURCES THAT WE NEED TO BE [Captioner] 22:34:54 ABLE TO COMBAT IT IN THE WAY [Captioner] 22:34:55 THAT THIS ORDINANCE SUGGEST THAT [Captioner] 22:34:56 WE DO THAT. [Captioner] 22:34:58 I WOULD LIKE TO SEE SOME OTHER [Captioner] 22:35:01 SOLUTIONS IN THE PLAN, THE FIVE [Captioner] 22:35:02 YEAR PLAN. [Captioner] 22:35:03 I DON'T WANT US TO BE GOING [Captioner] 22:35:07 CHASING PAF -- AND THEN VIVIAN [Captioner] 22:35:09 MENTIONED THAT THERE MAY BE SOME [Captioner] 22:35:10 MONEY AVAILABLE FOR US. [Captioner] 22:35:12 MAYBE WE NEED TO STEP BACK AND [Captioner] 22:35:14 SEE IF THOSE RESOURCES THAT THE [Captioner] 22:35:17 COUNTY IS THINKING ABOUT, THAT [Captioner] 22:35:19 WE CAN TAKE ADVANTAGE OF SOME OF [Captioner] 22:35:21 THOSE RESOURCES, I'M NOT SURE [Captioner] 22:35:23 BUT THEY JUST DID IT TODAY, SO [Captioner] 22:35:24 WE DON'T KNOW WHAT THE FALLOUT [Captioner] 22:35:26 OF THAT MIGHTEN BUT IT COULD BE [Captioner] 22:35:28 POSITIVE IN OUR DIRECTION. [Captioner] 22:35:30 SO I THINK THAT WE SHOULD [Captioner] 22:35:31 EXPLORE THAT OPTION AS WELL. [Captioner] 22:35:32 I THINK WE HAVE SOME OTHER [Captioner] 22:35:35 OPTIONS THAT WE SHOULD EXPLORE [Captioner] 22:35:40 AS OPPOSED TO THIS METHOD. [Captioner] 22:35:42 SO UNFORTUNATELY, I'M NOT IN [Captioner] 22:35:42 FAVOR OF THIS TONIGHT. [Captioner] 22:35:48 >> Mayor Salwan: ANY OTHER [Captioner] 22:35:50 COMMENTS? [Captioner] 22:35:51 COUNCILMEMBER KIMBERLIN. [Captioner] 22:35:51 >> Councilmember Kimberlin: [Captioner] 22:35:54 YES, YES, SORRY I'M COMING BACK [Captioner] 22:35:56 AGAIN BUT LOOKING AT THE [Captioner] 22:35:56 ENCAMPMENT CONDITION GUIDELINES [Captioner] 22:35:58 THAT WE HEARD ABOUT TONIGHT AND [Captioner] 22:36:01 IT MAKES ME WONDER IF -- DO WE [Captioner] 22:36:02 FOLLOW THIS? [Captioner] 22:36:04 ARE WE -- DOES THIS GIVE US SOME [Captioner] 22:36:06 MEAT TO DO WHAT WE'RE TALKING [Captioner] 22:36:07 ABOUT TONIGHT? [Captioner] 22:36:09 THE FIRST PART OF IT IS THE [Captioner] 22:36:10 FOLLOWING STANDARDS ARE [Captioner] 22:36:11 NECESSARY TO MAINTAIN HEALTH AND [Captioner] 22:36:12 SAFETY. [Captioner] 22:36:14 AND HAS A BUNCH OF LIST OF [Captioner] 22:36:15 THINGS THAT REALLY ADDRESS [Captioner] 22:36:18 HEALTH AND SAFETY, KEEPING ADA [Captioner] 22:36:19 WALKWAYS WITH PEOPLE WITH [Captioner] 22:36:21 DISABILITIES TO BE ABLE TO GO [Captioner] 22:36:23 THROUGH, NOT PARKING WITHIN 20 [Captioner] 22:36:25 FEET TO AN APPROACH OF A YAWK, [Captioner] 22:36:27 FIRES ARE PROHIBITED. [Captioner] 22:36:28 THEN THE NEXT SECTION TALKS [Captioner] 22:36:30 ABOUT THE FOLLOWING VIOLATIONS [Captioner] 22:36:32 ARE LIKELY TO RESULT IN [Captioner] 22:36:32 IMMEDIATE ENFORCEMENT. [Captioner] 22:36:35 LODGING OR CAMPING ON PUBLIC [Captioner] 22:36:38 PROPERTY, INCLUDING PARKS, [Captioner] 22:36:40 LODGING NEAR SCHOOLS, ENTERING [Captioner] 22:36:42 OR STAYING IN ABANDONED [Captioner] 22:36:44 BUILDINGS, NONOPERABLE ORISM [Captioner] 22:36:46 MOBILE VEHICLES AND STRUCTURES [Captioner] 22:36:48 ON CITY STREETS UNREGISTERED OR [Captioner] 22:36:49 EXPIRED VEBZ. [Captioner] 22:36:53 VEHICLES. [Captioner] 22:36:55 THERE IS SO MUCH IN THIS THING, [Captioner] 22:36:56 IS THERE SOMETHING THAT GIVES US [Captioner] 22:36:59 -- IT SAYS MAY RESULT IN MODE [Captioner] 22:37:01 ENFORCEMENT, DO WE EVER USE [Captioner] 22:37:02 THIS? [Captioner] 22:37:06 >> WE CERTAINLY DO USE IT. [Captioner] 22:37:10 THERE ARE CIRCUMSTANCES [Captioner] 22:37:13 IN WHICH THE PUBLIC FEELS THAT [Captioner] 22:37:16 WE DO NOT APPLY IT VIGOROUSLY [Captioner] 22:37:18 ENOUGH AND YOU HEAR ABOUT THOSE [Captioner] 22:37:19 AND THERE ARE CIRCUMSTANCES [Captioner] 22:37:21 WHERE THEY DO NOT APPLY WHERE [Captioner] 22:37:25 FOLKS ARE FRUSTRATED, SOMEBODY [Captioner] 22:37:29 PUTS A TENT [Captioner] 22:37:32 ON A SIDEWALK IN FRONT OF THEIR [Captioner] 22:37:33 HOUSE AND MAYBE THAT TENANT [Captioner] 22:37:35 DOESN'T BLOCK THE WHOLE [Captioner] 22:37:37 SIDEWALK, MAYBE IT'S NOT AN ADA [Captioner] 22:37:39 VIOLATION, IT'S NOT TRESPASSING [Captioner] 22:37:41 EXACTLY, THE GENTLEMAN YOU [Captioner] 22:37:43 REFERENCED NEAR KAISER IS A GOOD [Captioner] 22:37:43 EXAMPLE. [Captioner] 22:37:45 YOU CAN STILL USE THAT SIDEWALK [Captioner] 22:37:47 HOWEVER THERE ARE FOLKS THAT USE [Captioner] 22:37:48 THE LIBRARY ACROSS THE STREET [Captioner] 22:37:51 THAT FEEL PASSIONATELY THAT, YOU [Captioner] 22:37:53 KNOW, THE PRESENCE OF HOMELESS [Captioner] 22:37:56 PEOPLE IS DISCONCERTING TO THEIR [Captioner] 22:37:57 CHILDREN AND THEY DON'T WANT [Captioner] 22:37:58 THEM THERE AND, YOU KNOW. [Captioner] 22:38:00 SO THOSE ARE THE KINDS EVER [Captioner] 22:38:01 SITUATIONS THAT THIS WOULD BE [Captioner] 22:38:04 INTENDED TO GIVE THE POLICE [Captioner] 22:38:07 DEPARTMENT ADDITIONAL OPTIONS TO [Captioner] 22:38:07 DECREASE. [Captioner] 22:38:11 ADDRESS [Captioner] 22:38:12 . [Captioner] 22:38:14 HOWEVER IF IT'S THE DIRECTION [Captioner] 22:38:16 FOR STAFFER TO LEAN INTO THE [Captioner] 22:38:18 ENCAMPMENT CONDITION GUIDELINES [Captioner] 22:38:20 TO THE EXCLUSION OF THIS [Captioner] 22:38:23 PROPOSAL WE WILL CERTAINLY TAKE [Captioner] 22:38:25 COUNCIL'S DIRECTION ON THAT [Captioner] 22:38:26 ITEM. [Captioner] 22:38:26 >> Councilmember Kimberlin: IT [Captioner] 22:38:29 SEEMS TO ME IT WOULD APPLY IN SO [Captioner] 22:38:31 MANY OTHER WISE, PREVENTING THE [Captioner] 22:38:35 CITY FROM COMPLETING [Captioner] 22:38:38 WORK, THE LAM PLACE IS [Captioner] 22:38:39 AGGRESSIVE ANIMALS AND PEOPLE [Captioner] 22:38:41 NOT BEING ABLE TO GET INTO [Captioner] 22:38:41 WORK. [Captioner] 22:38:43 SO IT SEEMS THAT THIS GIVES US [Captioner] 22:38:45 SOMETHING IF IT HAS MEAT THAT WE [Captioner] 22:38:47 CAN, YOU KNOW, DIG INTO AND [Captioner] 22:38:49 REALLY USE AS ANOTHER TOOL [Captioner] 22:38:50 THAT'S NOT SO PUNITIVE AND [Captioner] 22:38:53 REALLY JUST KEEPING THINGS SAFE, [Captioner] 22:38:54 CLEAN AND HEALTHY. [Captioner] 22:39:01 >> Mayor Salwan: OKAY. [Captioner] 22:39:02 ANY OTHER COMMENTS? [Captioner] 22:39:04 OR IS THERE A MOTION? [Captioner] 22:39:08 OH COUNCILMEMBER SHAO. [Captioner] 22:39:09 >> Councilmember Shao: THANK [Captioner] 22:39:12 YOU, MR. MAYOR. [Captioner] 22:39:14 ONE THING IS THAT I UNDERSTAND [Captioner] 22:39:16 THE ROLE OF THE CITY COUNCIL IS [Captioner] 22:39:18 TO DECIDE WHAT. [Captioner] 22:39:22 AND THEN AT [Captioner] 22:39:26 LEAVE HOW AS TO CITY STAFF AND [Captioner] 22:39:26 LAW ENFORCEMENT. [Captioner] 22:39:29 AS TO WHAT, IT HAS BEEN AT LEAST [Captioner] 22:39:30 TO THE BEST OF MY RECOLLECTION [Captioner] 22:39:32 IN THE LAST THREE YEARS OR EVEN [Captioner] 22:39:34 LONGER, THAT HOMELESSNESS HAS [Captioner] 22:39:39 BEEN THE HIGHEST PRIORITY OF THE [Captioner] 22:39:41 CITY COUNCIL. [Captioner] 22:39:42 AND WHEN WE GOVERN AS A CITY [Captioner] 22:39:45 COUNCIL WE SHOULD JUMP OUT OF [Captioner] 22:39:48 OUR PERSONAL EXPERIENCE LIKE THE [Captioner] 22:39:51 MEMO OF FORMER HOMELESS PERSON, [Captioner] 22:39:55 WE ARE THE REPRESENTATIVE OF OUR [Captioner] 22:39:57 RESIDENTS AND LOCAL [Captioner] 22:39:57 BUSINESSES. [Captioner] 22:40:01 AND SO WE MAKE [Captioner] 22:40:05 DECISIONS IN THEIR SHOES AND [Captioner] 22:40:09 TRY TO KEEP THEIR INTEREST AS [Captioner] 22:40:10 OUR UTMOST PRIORITY. [Captioner] 22:40:15 AS FOR THE PUNITIVE [Captioner] 22:40:26 CONFLICT RESOLUTION, I WOULD [Captioner] 22:40:28 LIKE TO REMIND EVERYONE THAT [Captioner] 22:40:31 EACH AND EVERY ORDINANCE HAS [Captioner] 22:40:35 CONSEQUENCES, [Captioner] 22:40:38 WE HAVE A DEPARTMENT CALLED [Captioner] 22:40:41 CODE ENFORCEMENT DEPARTMENT. [Captioner] 22:40:42 IF YOU DON'T COMPLY WITH THE [Captioner] 22:40:43 CITY CODE OR THE OWNERS, THERE [Captioner] 22:40:45 ARE CONSEQUENCES. [Captioner] 22:40:49 FOR EXAMPLE, TOO, YOU [Captioner] 22:40:52 CAN HOMELESS AND LIVING APART, [Captioner] 22:40:52 THAT'S NOTE A CRIME. [Captioner] 22:40:57 BUT WE HAVE ALREADY [Captioner] 22:40:58 PASSED THE CITY ORDINANCE AND [Captioner] 22:41:01 MANY OF US AS A CITY OR CITY [Captioner] 22:41:02 COUNCIL MEMBERS ALREADY VOTED [Captioner] 22:41:02 FOR IT. [Captioner] 22:41:05 THAT YOU CANNOT PARK WITHIN [Captioner] 22:41:06 CERTAIN DISTANCE FROM THE [Captioner] 22:41:07 SCHOOL. [Captioner] 22:41:09 OTHERWISE, THERE ARE PUNITIVE [Captioner] 22:41:12 CONSEQUENCES. [Captioner] 22:41:14 LEADING TO YOUR CAR BEING TOWED [Captioner] 22:41:15 OR SOMETHING ELSE. [Captioner] 22:41:20 SO I JUST WANT TO, ONCE AGAIN [Captioner] 22:41:23 , EMPHASIZE THAT. [Captioner] 22:41:26 WE HAVE HEARD OUR CITY MANAGER [Captioner] 22:41:28 AND POLICE CHIEF. [Captioner] 22:41:30 THEY ARE IN NEED OF THIS [Captioner] 22:41:33 ADDITIONAL TOOL. [Captioner] 22:41:36 IF IT'S A TOOL IT HAS TO HAVE [Captioner] 22:41:36 TEETH. [Captioner] 22:41:38 OTHERWISE IT'S NOT A TOOL. [Captioner] 22:41:41 YOU KNOW, YOU CANNOT EXPECT THE [Captioner] 22:41:43 POLICE OFFICERS TO ALWAYS COME [Captioner] 22:41:46 TO YOU AND SMILE, JUST GIVE YOU [Captioner] 22:41:49 SOME ADVICE, AND IT'S UP TO YOU [Captioner] 22:41:52 TO LISTEN OR NOT AND WALK AWAY. [Captioner] 22:41:56 I BELIEVE IN THIS COUNTRY, [Captioner] 22:41:59 WE'RE A SOCIETY OF LAW AND THE [Captioner] 22:42:03 LAW HAS CONSEQUENCES. [Captioner] 22:42:05 AND OUR GOVERNOR NEWSOM HAS [Captioner] 22:42:08 ALREADY SET A VERY GOOD EXAMPLE [Captioner] 22:42:09 FOR US. [Captioner] 22:42:12 AND SO I DON'T SEE ANY [Captioner] 22:42:14 WRONGDOING FOR THE CITY OF [Captioner] 22:42:17 FREMONT TO FOLLOW THROUGH WITH [Captioner] 22:42:22 THE STATE GOVERNMENT [Captioner] 22:42:25 AND STILL REMAIN AS A [Captioner] 22:42:26 COMPASSIONATE CITY. [Captioner] 22:42:29 I DON'T SEIZE ANY CONFLICT IN [Captioner] 22:42:30 THAT. [Captioner] 22:42:31 SO HAVING SAID THAT, I WOULD [Captioner] 22:42:35 LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO ADOPT [Captioner] 22:42:37 THE CURRENT WORDING OF THIS [Captioner] 22:42:39 ORDINANCE. [Captioner] 22:42:41 >> Mayor Salwan: IS THERE A [Captioner] 22:42:41 SECOND? [Captioner] 22:42:45 >> Councilmember Liu: I WILL [Captioner] 22:42:47 SECOND THAT MOTION. [Captioner] 22:42:48 >> Cty. Attny. Alvarado: MAY I [Captioner] 22:42:50 ASK A CLARIFYING QUESTION? [Captioner] 22:42:53 >> Mayor Salwan: SURE. [Captioner] 22:42:54 >> Cty. Attny. Alvarado: [Captioner] 22:42:55 WHETHER COUNCILMEMBER SHAO'S [Captioner] 22:42:56 MOTION INCLUDES ALL THREE [Captioner] 22:42:57 ACTIONS RECOMMENDED IN THE STAFF [Captioner] 22:42:59 REPORT WHICH INCLUDES, YOU KNOW, [Captioner] 22:43:01 THE DRAFTING OF THE SUMMARY OF [Captioner] 22:43:03 THE OWNERS AND REQUIRED CEQA [Captioner] 22:43:04 FINDINGS? [Captioner] 22:43:04 >> Councilmember Shao: [Captioner] 22:43:07 CORRECT, SORRY, I HAVE OMITTED [Captioner] 22:43:09 THE CEQA FINDINGS. [Captioner] 22:43:10 YES. [Captioner] 22:43:14 MY MOTION WILL BE MODIFIED AS TO [Captioner] 22:43:16 STAFF, THE THREE [Captioner] 22:43:16 RECOMMENDATIONS FROM THE STAFF. [Captioner] 22:43:19 >> Cty. Attny. Alvarado: THANK [Captioner] 22:43:22 YOU. [Captioner] 22:43:23 >> Mayor Salwan: COUNCILMEMBER [Captioner] 22:43:24 LIU YOUR SECOND STANDS? [Captioner] 22:43:25 >> Councilmember Liu: YES, MY [Captioner] 22:43:27 SECOND STANDS. [Captioner] 22:43:27 >> Mayor Salwan: BEFORE WE [Captioner] 22:43:29 VOTE I WANT TO MAKE A QUICK [Captioner] 22:43:29 STATEMENT. [Captioner] 22:43:31 I WANT TO THANK EVERYBODY FOR [Captioner] 22:43:33 COMING OUT TODAY. [Captioner] 22:43:34 THIS IS DEFINITELY A VERY [Captioner] 22:43:36 COMPLICATED ISSUE AND IT IS [Captioner] 22:43:38 DEEPLY PERSONAL AND URGENT ISSUE [Captioner] 22:43:39 FOR OUR COMMUNITY AND I [Captioner] 22:43:41 APPRECIATE THE OPPORTUNITY TO [Captioner] 22:43:44 CLARIFY THE INTENTION BEHIND [Captioner] 22:43:45 THIS. [Captioner] 22:43:47 FIRST, YOU KNOW, WE AGREED THAT [Captioner] 22:43:49 HOMELESSNESS IS A CRISIS AND [Captioner] 22:43:51 THIS IMPACTS INDIVIDUALS, [Captioner] 22:43:53 FAMILIES, AND OUR LARGER [Captioner] 22:43:54 COMMUNITY. [Captioner] 22:43:57 AND IT'S HEARTBREAKING THAT [Captioner] 22:43:58 ANYONE WOULD BE ON THE STREETS. [Captioner] 22:44:00 AND THAT PEOPLE MUST BE FORCED [Captioner] 22:44:04 TO LIVE IN TENTS OR IN [Captioner] 22:44:06 ENCAMPMENTS, ESPECIALLY DURING [Captioner] 22:44:07 THE WINTER TIMES. [Captioner] 22:44:09 AND CITY IS COMMITTED TO [Captioner] 22:44:14 ADDRESSING THIS WITH URGENCY [Captioner] 22:44:15 . [Captioner] 22:44:17 THE PROPOSED ORDINANCE IS NOT [Captioner] 22:44:19 ABOUT CRIMINALIZING [Captioner] 22:44:19 HOMELESSNESS. [Captioner] 22:44:22 YOU KNOW, BEING HOMELESS IS NOT [Captioner] 22:44:23 BEING CRIMINALIZED, IT IS THE [Captioner] 22:44:24 CONDUCT. [Captioner] 22:44:27 AND SO WE HAVE TO LOOK AT BOTH [Captioner] 22:44:29 CARROTS AND STICKS BECAUSE [Captioner] 22:44:30 ACCOUNTABILITY IS IMPORTANT. [Captioner] 22:44:33 YOU HAVE TO LOOK AT INCENTIVES [Captioner] 22:44:34 AND DISINCENTIVES. [Captioner] 22:44:37 AND THIS ORDINANCE WILL NOT [Captioner] 22:44:38 SOLVE HOMELESSNESS BUT IT IS ONE [Captioner] 22:44:40 TOOL, ONE PART OF THE STRATEGY [Captioner] 22:44:42 TO ENSURE THAT OUR CITY REMAINS [Captioner] 22:44:44 SAFE, CLEAN, AND COMPASSIONATE [Captioner] 22:44:46 FOR ALL RESIDENTS. [Captioner] 22:44:48 AND FREMONT IS A COMPASSIONATE [Captioner] 22:44:50 CITY AND WE BELIEVE THAT NO ONE [Captioner] 22:44:51 SHOULD BE LEFT BEHIND. [Captioner] 22:44:53 AND WE ARE COMMITTED TO TREATING [Captioner] 22:44:56 EVERY INDIVIDUAL, HOUSED AND [Captioner] 22:44:59 UNHOUSED, WITH RESPECT AND [Captioner] 22:44:59 CARE. [Captioner] 22:45:01 WE'RE ALSO RESPONSIBLE FOR [Captioner] 22:45:02 ENSURING PUBLIC SPACES REMAIN [Captioner] 22:45:04 ACCESSIBLE, CLEAN, AND SAFER FOR [Captioner] 22:45:07 EVERYONE, INCLUDING FAMILIES -- [Captioner] 22:45:09 SAFE FOR EVERYONE INCLUDING [Captioner] 22:45:12 FAMILIES CHILDREN AND VULNERABLE [Captioner] 22:45:14 COMMUNITY MEMBERS AND ALSO THE [Captioner] 22:45:17 UNHOUSED THAT ARE IMPACTED WHEN [Captioner] 22:45:19 THEY HAVE AN UNRULY UNHOUSED [Captioner] 22:45:22 RESIDENT THAT IS CAUSING [Captioner] 22:45:24 DISTURBANCE, FIRES, SAFETY [Captioner] 22:45:24 CONCERNS. [Captioner] 22:45:26 SO I WOULD APPEAL THAT THIS [Captioner] 22:45:27 ORDINANCE BE INTERPRETED WITH [Captioner] 22:45:29 EMPATHY, AND OUR GOAL AGAIN IS [Captioner] 22:45:31 NOT TO ARREST PEOPLE, THOUGHT TO [Captioner] 22:45:34 FINE PEOPLE BUT TO COMPEL A [Captioner] 22:45:34 BEHAVIOR CHANGE. [Captioner] 22:45:35 THAT IS THE ONE THING THAT NEEDS [Captioner] 22:45:37 TO BE DONE ALONG WITH THE [Captioner] 22:45:39 COMPASSION AND THE HELP AND THE [Captioner] 22:45:41 SUPPORT WHETHER SHELTER, MENTAL [Captioner] 22:45:43 HEALTH, ADDICTION SUPPORT, WE [Captioner] 22:45:45 ALSO NEED TO COMPEL BEHAVIOR [Captioner] 22:45:46 CHANGE. [Captioner] 22:45:48 AND THAT'S A VERY IMPORTANT [Captioner] 22:45:49 COMPONENT OF THIS. [Captioner] 22:45:52 AND SO IT'S IMPORTANT TO HAVE [Captioner] 22:45:53 OUTREACH AND CONNECT WITH [Captioner] 22:45:56 RESOURCES. [Captioner] 22:45:57 AND SEEK VOLUNTARY COMPLIANCE. [Captioner] 22:45:59 NOT PUNISHMENT. [Captioner] 22:46:01 AND THIS ORDINANCE IS JUST ONE [Captioner] 22:46:02 COMPONENT OF A LOT OF THE THINGS [Captioner] 22:46:03 WE ARE DOING. [Captioner] 22:46:04 YOU KNOW, THE HOUSING AND [Captioner] 22:46:06 SERVICES THAT WE ARE PROVIDING, [Captioner] 22:46:08 WE'RE IMPLEMENTING OUR HOMELESS [Captioner] 22:46:11 RESPONSE PLAN WHICH PRIORITIZES [Captioner] 22:46:12 PREVENTION WHICH IS ONE OF THE [Captioner] 22:46:13 BIG THINGS THAT WE'RE DOING, [Captioner] 22:46:16 HOUSING AND SUPPORTIVE SERVICES, [Captioner] 22:46:18 ALSO INVESTMENT IN, YOU KNOW, [Captioner] 22:46:21 CLEAN HYGIENE UNITS AND SLEEPING [Captioner] 22:46:25 SITES AND THE HNC, ALSO [Captioner] 22:46:27 THE EXPANSION OF SUNRISE [Captioner] 22:46:29 VILLAGE ON BROWN RODE WHICH WE [Captioner] 22:46:32 SENDED SOME FUNDS. [Captioner] 22:46:33 AND WE'LL CONTINUE TO PARTNER [Captioner] 22:46:36 WITH MORE CHURCHES TO EXPAND THE [Captioner] 22:46:37 SAFE PARKING. [Captioner] 22:46:40 SO AGAIN WE'RE TRYING TO BALANCE [Captioner] 22:46:42 SAFETY WITH -- MAINTAIN THE [Captioner] 22:46:43 QUALITY OF LIFE. [Captioner] 22:46:45 AND SO WE NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT [Captioner] 22:46:46 OUR PARKS ARE ACCESSIBLE AND [Captioner] 22:46:48 AVAILABLE TO OUR COMMUNITY, NEED [Captioner] 22:46:51 TO MAKE SURE OUR SCHOOLS HAVE [Captioner] 22:46:53 CLEAR PATHS, PEOPLE CAN WALK, [Captioner] 22:46:56 AND SO WE CAN'T JUST, YOU KNOW, [Captioner] 22:46:58 IGNORE THE CHALLENGES THAT WE'RE [Captioner] 22:46:59 FACING. [Captioner] 22:47:01 AND WE ALSO CAN'T IGNORE THE [Captioner] 22:47:03 FACT THAT COMMUNITY MEMBERS FEEL [Captioner] 22:47:05 LIKE WHAT WE'RE DOING IS NOT [Captioner] 22:47:06 WORKING. [Captioner] 22:47:08 SO WE NEED TO ADDRESS ALL OF [Captioner] 22:47:09 THOSE ASPECTS. [Captioner] 22:47:12 AND SO THIS IS A PATH FOR [Captioner] 22:47:17 PROVIDING A BALLOON [Captioner] 22:47:19 BLARCHESSED APPROACH AND [Captioner] 22:47:21 ALLOWING THE SHARED SPACES SO [Captioner] 22:47:22 PEOPLE CAN UTILIZE THAT. [Captioner] 22:47:24 I ASK FOR EVERYBODY'S [Captioner] 22:47:25 PARTNERSHIP AND SUPPORT AS WE [Captioner] 22:47:27 WORK TOGETHER TO ADVOCATE FOR [Captioner] 22:47:28 MORE FUNDING FROM THE COUNTY, [Captioner] 22:47:31 STATE AND FEDERAL RESOURCES, [Captioner] 22:47:34 SUPPORT LOCAL OUTREACH PRADGES, [Captioner] 22:47:36 SHELTERS AND SERVICE PROVIDERS [Captioner] 22:47:37 AND ENCOURAGE SOLUTIONS THAT [Captioner] 22:47:39 ADDRESS THE ROOT CAUSE OF [Captioner] 22:47:39 HOMELESSNESS. [Captioner] 22:47:41 AND WE HAVE MADE PROGRESS BUT [Captioner] 22:47:42 THERE'S MORE TO DO. [Captioner] 22:47:44 AND I WELCOME EVERYONE'S [Captioner] 22:47:47 CONTINUED INPUT AND SUPPORT AND [Captioner] 22:47:48 INVITE ALL OF YOU TO BE PART OF [Captioner] 22:47:49 THE SOLUTION. [Captioner] 22:47:51 THIS IS A PILOT PROGRAM. [Captioner] 22:47:53 I THINK WE SHOULD GIVE IT A [Captioner] 22:47:55 SHOT, GIVE THE POLICE CHIEF THE [Captioner] 22:47:57 TOOLS HE NEEDS AND SEE WHERE WE [Captioner] 22:47:58 CAN HAVE SOME IMPROVEMENT. [Captioner] 22:48:03 SO WE NEED TO DIAL IT JUST THE [Captioner] 22:48:04 RIGHT AMOUNT. [Captioner] 22:48:06 SO WITH THAT, I'M READY TO [Captioner] 22:48:08 PROCEED FURTHER WITH THE VOTE.
