Blair Beekman. Tuesday, December 21, 2021....SF Bay Area crime & reimagine, in the era of Covid-19.

Tue 12/21/2021 1:29 PM
Dear SF Bay Area local govts and communities,
To try to revise, this previous letter, and as there is an important, Oakland city council meeting today, a reminder, there was, a city of San Jose, Vision Zero Task Force public meeting, Friday, Dec. 10, that I hope, can be passed along, to Vision Zero task force commissioners.

A thank you, in how sj elected officials, from San Jose, city govt staff, and the sj police dept, have been possibly trying to consider, with the community - using the good examples, of re-imagine, equity, and health & human services ideas, with the current questions, of more law enforcement & surveillance technology needs - to address retail crime, break-ins, and smash & grabs. I feel, this more well-rounded approach, can possibly be, future examples, of good community sustainability ideas, for SF Bay Area cities.

As with car robberies & carjacking issues, of the past few years, in San Jose, it may simply may be time to return, to previous ideas, of an SJPD crime task force - and possibly work with Oakland - to more directly address, where organized criminal rings, are working from, in regards to recent looting, armed caravans, and gun & violence issues, that can involve human trafficking.

Within much of the Bay Area, and throughout the country, there is much, new 4g, 5g, and LED streetlight surveillance and data collection technology, along with geo-fencing technology, that is being placed, in local community neighborhoods, in this time, of the Covid-19, global pandemic. As the state of California, for years, has been asking for good civil protection practices, and cautious, minimal use, of new, stationary, speed limit cameras, with ALPR technology. Many, SF Bay Area PD's, are receiving, a large number of mobile ALPR's. We are simply at a time, to consider in this country, how the minimal placement, of surveillance technology & data collection, can cover as much territory, as the over-saturation of tech, in a local neighborhood.

Public Record: 1
1/6/22, 8:53 AM Mail - Rules and Open Government Committee Agendas - Outlook https://outlook.office365.com/mail/[email protected]/inbox/id/AAQkADhhYzk3NTk1LTBmZDAtNDc4Yi1hN2Q0LTZjNmZjNTk5MT… 2/6 As San Jose, has had some recent trouble, in a more honest organizing, of its Vision Zero program, in the past few years - a reminder, we are simply being inundated, with new surveillance & data collection technology, being placed, on Bay Area city streets. Open public polices & accountability, is simply important, at this time, in how to continue Vision Zero, as a program, dedicated to neighborhood safety, community harmony, and green sustainability.

It can be important, how current questions, of law enforcement, and its surveillance technology & data collection, can fit into, Vision Zero ideals & dedication, to green sustainability, and community/neighborhood well-being. And from this, work to bring in, the well-established, thoughtful ideas, of equity, reimagine, health and human services, natural disaster preparedness, civil protection ideas. open democracy, and its accountability.

I hope, local govt. and everyday community, does not have to be afraid, to ask questions of the ACLU, and Bay Area CAIR, of how open public policies, and accountability ideas, can be of much help, to address current law enforcement and surveillance technology questions. And don't forget, how city govt accounting & auditing practices, towards good ideas, of equity, reimagine, and health & human services, is also important part, in how all parts of a community, can be better invited to a process, and work well together.

The ideas of equity, reimagine, health & human services, open public policies, and accountability, tend to be, the good ways. toward the ideas, of long term community sustainability. We are at a time to bring together, these well-established good human rights & civil rights practices - with current law enforcement questions, and its needs of surveillance & data collection technology.

All parts of a community, can feel & understand, when local govt, can ask and work toward, these well-reasoned ideas, of care & cooperation. And not toward the ideas, of more war, harm, secrecy, incarceration, and surveillance technology overreach.

A human rights & civil rights approach, with good accountability, to current law enforcement questions, can help develop, good practices, for local communities, in their own good terms, across the country, at this time. And that can organize, to work collectively, towards new ideas, of peace, open democratic practices, & positive sustainability, in how we can all better leave, the era of Covid-19. sincerely,

Blair Beekman. Thursday, December 30, 2021....SF December Emergency Declaration across the SF Bay Area.
b. beekman <
Thu 12/30/2021 10:30 AM
Dear local Bay Area govts. and communities,
Below, are three, hopeful letters & ways, to address the recent SF Emergency Declaertion, for the Tenderloin Area. And interestingly, a much more condensed version, of my Dec. 22 letter to yourselves, on these subjects.

From SJ to Oakland, to Berkeley, to SF - it seems the federal govt, is coming in, with new community plans & demands, that can include - much new law enforcement, & surveillance technology, for local Bay Area communities. And from this, they will want to begin, to imore implement & use, the new, 4g, 5g, and Smart LED streetlights, currently being placed, throughout local bay area communities, in this Covid-19 era
With good, new ACLU guidelines, of open public policies, accountability, good civil rights, and civil protection ideas, for all persons, pf a community - this can help, new law enforcement. surveillance, and data collection technology questions, be more organized, focused, and can work, to better address, the deeper community purposes of Vision Zero ideas, in green sustainability & communal harmony, as how to define, community public safety.

Throughout the Bay Area, open public policies, and accountability practices, with surveillance & data collection technology, at this time, along with the continual, growing, good, community practices, of reimagine, equity, health & human services, open public policies,and accountability, that has been developing, for a decade, and even longer, in the SF Bay Area. can help offer, an important balance, focus, and direction, to new federal law enforcement questions The ideas reimagine, racial equity, health and human services, open public policies, and accountability, can still be, an important framework, that hopefully all sides, can understand, and continue to negotiate around, at this time. As it can offer, important options & choices, including how local Bay Area govts. can learn to better develop, their own local autonomy, to address the many layers of federal questions, at this time.

Public Record: 2
1/6/22, 8:54 AM Mail - Rules and Open Government Committee Agendas - Outlook https://outlook.office365.com/mail/[email protected]/inbox/id/AAQkADhhYzk3NTk1LTBmZDAtNDc4Yi1hN2Q0LTZjNmZjNTk5M… 2/13 And can also help invite, all people of local communities, to ask what can be, ideas of inclusivity, sustainability, open democracy, and peace, to work toward local community goals. It is these good practices, that simply ask, how, current law enforcement, and surveillance technology, questions, can be simple, minimal, and focused.

The ideas of reimagine are being directly asked, from the federal level, at this time. I feel, it is important, we can continue to find answers, based on the course, we have set out upon, of trying to better understand, and build, local community health & human service programs, and racial equity.

These are simply are better reasoned, more peaceful, human ideals, And can offer a framework, that can better invite, all parts of the community, to want to ask questions, and to better participate, in a sustainable community future, and its good practices.
sincerely,
blair beekman

Dear city & community of SF,
This is letter, to the SF Brd of Supervisors, after their vote, to declare an emergency in the Tenderloin.

It seems clear, at this time, that San Jose, Oakland, Berkeley, San Francisco, are all being asked, to work with, new Federal govt. auspices. And to amp up, new law enforcement, more surveillance technology. and data collection practices. In return, it seems, it is up to our local bay area communities, to start to bring together, our better ideas, of reimagine, equity and health & human services, at this time,
To want to practice, good accountability, this item, simply needs to be brought back, Jan. 4. To follow, the line of thinking. of this agenda item, it may need to be bifurcated, into two separate parts.

A public health component, and one of law enforcement. These two, separate components, need to be spoken about, publicly & clearly, Jan. 4.

Part 1, can learn to offer ideas, of simple, police, investigative work, and less police, can be more approach. How can a community effort, with good community oversight, of a few police investigators, 1/6/22, 8:54 AM Mail - Rules and Open Government Committee Agendas - Outlook https://outlook.office365.com/mail/[email protected]/inbox/id/AAQkADhhYzk3NTk1LTBmZDAtNDc4Yi1hN2Q0LTZjNmZjNTk5M… 3/13 take place, to ask future drug sellers, to simply not sell their drugs, with such a strong fentanyl cut.

This can be done, with a minimal amount of arrests, yet accomplish the same goals, of ending fentanyl deaths, in SF.

This goes into, Part 2, of the future of this agenda item. Lets hope, we are on the way, to learn how to better develop, simple public health and human services practices, treatment, and shelter needs, for people of the Tenderloin. These are ideas, all Brd. of Supervisors, talked about, with a lot of care, tonight. Thank you. From tonight, I've learned, we don't have to criminalize, everyday drug addicts at all.

To also mention, what may be, a part of the public health concerns, of this item I hope, that it is actual, and that we can continually, openly remind each other, this winter, that even with the public health concerns, of Omicron, on the rise - it will not be as severe, as the previous, Delta variant.

And remember, with new federal mandates, coming down, it is the continued good efforts, and local interpretations, of reimagine, equity, health & human services ideas, open public polices, and accountability., that can provide, an important balance,and better choices, fpr local Bay Area communities, at this time,
sincerely,
blair beekman
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ No New SF Jails Talking Points -
There is indeed a state of emergency in the Tenderloin, and throughout the city. That we have lost over 700 community members to overdose, in the last year, is an emergency. As thousands of people, are forced to sleep on our streets, every night, through inclement weather, and a pandemic, no less, this is an emergency.

The city currently has, hundreds of vacant units. Instead of already failed policing strategies, the city should invest in addressing the 10% vacancy rate in supportive housing and give people on the streets actual places to go.
1/6/22, 8:54 AM Mail - Rules and Open Government Committee Agendas - Outlook https://outlook.office365.com/mail/[email protected]/inbox/id/AAQkADhhYzk3NTk1LTBmZDAtNDc4Yi1hN2Q0LTZjNmZjNTk5M… 4/13 Placements in SIP hotels stopped, in June of 2021 - even though the City was offered, full federal reimbursement, through next April.

Houseless folks, to self-refer themselves to shelter, has been completely taken away, during the pandemic.

The Mayor is sitting on, almost $110 million, in unspent Prop. C funding, for behavioral health treatment programs, that would be much more effective, in dealing with the crises of addiction and overdose, on our streets.

Over 2,000 housing placements, can currently be available, with this funding.

Instead of putting more people in cages - the Mayor should implement CART - Compassionate Alternative Response Team. This could replace police in responding to homelessness.

We have to resist any efforts to arrest and incarcerate even more people. Police should not function as first responders to behavioral health crises, absent a threat to public safety.

Likewise, the future role of social workers, should not be weaponized, as alternative police.

The Sheriff, and Mayor, want to increase, the city’s jail capacity by reopening the old SF jail, in Sam Bruno.

Unhoused people, are already being heavily policed, cited, & arrested. Sweeps are a regular occurrence — taking place at brutal speed, without offers of adequate placements and illegal property confiscation, are all too common.

This Tenderloin Crackdown was designed with no transparency and little input from community members, except for business community and land owners, whose perspectives aligned with the Mayor’s political strategy.

As a City, we need to act with urgency & passion, to address these emergencies, and bring real relief to those most impacted by them, not waste money. or clog our court systems, on failed drug war efforts.

Blair Beekman. Monday, January, 2022....SF Emergency Declaration, and the Bay Area. b. beekman <
Mon 1/3/2022 1:15 PM
Dear local Bay Area govts. and communities,
This is an updated set, of three letters, from Dec. 30, to address the recent SF Emergency Declaration, for the Tenderloin Area. Thank you for your patience, as I have tried to write, a longer, more comprehensive letter.

From SJ to Oakland, to Berkeley, to SF - it seems the federal govt, is coming in, with many, new community ideas, plans, demands, and funding, that can include - much new law enforcement, & surveillance technology, for local Bay Area communities. I am hoping, that these new federal questions, are with the intention, to ask how local Bay Area communities, can better develop their own ideas, plans, & projects. With additional, federal direction & its funding dollars, offering a role, more as secondary help & guidance.

The ideas of reimagine, racial equity, health & human services, open public policies, and accountability, should still be, an incredibly important way, to frame current discussions. And that hopefully all sides, will want to continue, to better understand, negotiate and work towards, at this time. We are simply, at an important time, to still ask ourselves, as local Bay Area govts & community, how law enforcement, surveillance technology, data collection, and questions of incarceration, can become a process, that is more simple, better focused, and minimal. And from this, how can law enforcement, become better connected, to the good ideas of community health & human services.

As initial issues, of drug overdose & public health, have been raised, by SF Mayor London Breed - this can hopefully be a time, to begin to let SF health & human service providers, better develop, community goals & plans, with minimal use practices, of law enforcement, incarceration, and the SF court system.

There should be legitimate concerns, how the Omicron can spread, within the homeless & unvaccinated. Yet present & future conditions of Omicron, should be more understandable and clear, compared to, a few weeks ago. Omicron, seems to have, a less degree of severity, than the previous Delta variant. And with good prep work, its seems, more bureaucratically manageable, than previous Public Record: 3
1/6/22, 8:55 AM Mail - Rules and Open Government Committee Agendas - Outlook https://outlook.office365.com/mail/[email protected]/inbox/id/AAQkADhhYzk3NTk1LTBmZDAtNDc4Yi1hN2Q0LTZjNmZjNTk5M… 2/10 variants. With continued, good reasoned, public health safety practices, through Jan.&Feb 2022; continued asks, of indoor & outdoor mask use; and continued, good, informational media reports, on Omicron; it feels we are on the way, to get over initial Omicron fears, barriers, and hurdles, this winter.

And from this, SF can learn, to plan & budget this winter, towards, drug treatment/shelter centers, and more permanent housing services.

It is from these good guidelines & efforts, that can make for simple, clear, bounderies, with law enforcement questions, at this time. A small, yet focused number, of police investigators, along with, a larger community outcry, can address fentanyl overdose issues. This can ask & demand people, to stop selling, such strong cuts, of fentanyl drugs, on SF & Bay Area streets. And can be an example, of an entire SF community to participate, in our human decency. And to address & end problems, without having to offer, as much use of incarceration or the court system. This can be something of the same work, in Oakland, with community & gun issues, at this time.

As there is much surveillance & data technology, that is becoming, much more available, within new, 4g, 5g, and Smart LED streetlights, currently being placed, throughout local SF Bay Area communities, in this Covid-19 era.

Interestingly, recent ACLU ideas, of more open public polices, and accountability, with surveillance and data collection tech, can much help, at this time, to organize, an important, more humanistic direction, in the law enforcement questions, of San Jose, and other Bay Area cities, with smash & grabs, and mass looting.

These good, ACLU policies guidelines, and Ca. state legal precedents, with an emphasis, on civil rights, civil protections, & minimal use practices, can help develop, a well structured, community future, of more open democracy. And at this time, it can help to organize & focus, the same amount of law enforcement use, without an oversaturation, of surveillance technology, in local Bay Area neighborhoods. From this, local communities can then, more genuinely keep to, the initial better intentions, of Vision Zero principles. And its main purpose, of community harmony & public accessibility, based on green sustainability.

With minimal, yet more direct approaches, a SJPD Task Force, can also be reintroduced. It can be similar to the previous, car robbery, home break-ins task force, of a few years ago. Now SJPD, can learn to focus, on the people, who are warehousing, the stolen goods, from smash & grabs, and mass looting. This can more directly address crime, and uses less street surveillance, on everyday people, A system, that should be interesting, to new local govt. and federal planning questions. And to overall questions of reimagine, being asked of local Bay Area communities, at this time.

Throughout the Bay Area, the good civil rights, and civil protection practices, of open public policies, and accountability practices, with surveillance & data collection technology, at this time, along with the continual, well established, growing, good, community practices, of reimagine, equity, health & human services, can help offer, an important balance, focus, and direction, to new federal law enforcement, and its federal funding questions, at this time. 1/6/22, 8:55 AM Mail - Rules and Open Government Committee Agendas - Outlook https://outlook.office365.com/mail/[email protected]/inbox/id/AAQkADhhYzk3NTk1LTBmZDAtNDc4Yi1hN2Q0LTZjNmZjNTk5M… 3/10 It can help with, better local autonomy & decision making. These are, our better ideals & reasoning, that can more openly & positively invite, all parts of the community, to want to better participate, ask questions, offer good suggestions, and continue, important, pre-Covid-19 efforts, of what can be, a more sustainable future, and good democratic community practices, based on ideas of peace, openness, accountability, and better reasoning. And not the continued use, of war, secrecy, and harm, to solve long term societal goals.
sincerely,
blair beekman

Dear city & community of SF,
This is letter, to the SF Brd of Supervisors, after their vote, to declare an emergency in the Tenderloin.

A public health component, and one of law enforcement. These two, separate components, need to be spoken about, publicly & clearly, Jan. 4.

This can be done, with a minimal amount of arrests, yet accomplish the same goals, of ending fentanyl deaths, in SF.

This goes into, Part 2, of the future of this agenda item. Lets hope, we are on the way, to learn how to better develop, simple public health and human services practices, treatment, and shelter needs, for 1/6/22, 8:55 AM Mail - Rules and Open Government Committee Agendas - Outlook https://outlook.office365.com/mail/[email protected]/inbox/id/AAQkADhhYzk3NTk1LTBmZDAtNDc4Yi1hN2Q0LTZjNmZjNTk5M… 4/10 people of the Tenderloin. These are ideas, all Brd. of Supervisors, talked about, with a lot of care, tonight. Thank you. From tonight, I've learned, we don't have to criminalize, everyday drug addicts at all.

And remember, with new federal mandates, coming down, it is the continued good efforts, and local interpretations, of reimagine, equity, health & human services ideas, open public polices, and accountability, that can provide, an important balance,and better choices, fpr local Bay Area communities, at this time,
sincerely,
blair beekman
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ No New SF Jails Talking Points -
There is indeed a state of emergency in the Tenderloin, and throughout the city. That we have lost over 700 community members to overdose, in the last year, is an emergency. As thousands of people, are forced to sleep on our streets, every night, through inclement weather, and a pandemic, no less, this is an emergency.

Placements in SIP hotels stopped, in June of 2021 - even though the City was offered, full federal reimbursement, through next April.
1/6/22, 8:55 AM Mail - Rules and Open Government Committee Agendas - Outlook https://outlook.office365.com/mail/[email protected]/inbox/id/AAQkADhhYzk3NTk1LTBmZDAtNDc4Yi1hN2Q0LTZjNmZjNTk5M… 5/10 Houseless folks, to self-refer themselves to shelter, has been completely taken away, during the pandemic.

Over 2,000 housing placements, can currently be available, with this funding.

Instead of putting more people in cages - the Mayor should implement CART - Compassionate Alternative Response Team. This could replace police in responding to homelessness.

We have to resist any efforts to arrest and incarcerate even more people. Police should not function as first responders to behavioral health crises, absent a threat to public safety.

Likewise, the future role of social workers, should not be weaponized, as alternative police.

The Sheriff, and Mayor, want to increase, the city’s jail capacity by reopening the old SF jail, in Sam Bruno.

I respect what your trying to do however your ignorant of the History of California Your Ignorant of Chicano Movement Black Berets Sofie Mendoza and Danny Trevino.I am connected by birth.This Is my Legacy My History as A Chicano and Kumeyaay/ Digueno Mission Native Registered.Meaning I am connected by Blood to the 1st Peoples to come into Contact with Junipero Serra in 1767.We were enslaved by that savage bestial Man of god.we built the 1st of 21 missions Mission San Diego.

I state this to inform you that when you sounded off about all your Fancy Experts who think they know what MY city needs tells me that you still want to impose your will onto a people who have already suffered enough and there is a historical Record of these tragedies that the SJPD 1ST Chief William Eddy helped Facilitate.I found that to examine the fruit( Police Brutality, Sadism, Glorification of Men with no conscience Moral or ethical conflicts,Redlining that maintained and justified racial violence by objectifying Mexicans by their"Illegal " status.) All these what I call Fruit have a Root.That Root is contained in one Document .ALL that has befallen the Chicano the Chinese Japanese Blacks Filipinos.For your info San Jose had 5 yes 5 Chinatowns burned down terrorized attacked by Whites in san Jose because whites could not stand seeing people that in their minds should be subservient Servile meek before a white man.Remember there was Decapitations in this City Codified into Law by Peter Burnett after a speech he gave in San Jose January 6 1851.This is the Roots from which the SJPD IS given birth.San Jose is the Mother Peter Burnett and All the men in the enclosed document their Father.

We know more about what we need more then any PHD .They dont have what I and others have possess .Connections to the Blood Lines and Geography of California for Thousands of Years.There are Times when Experts and all these people whom we dont know and quite honestly dont care what they think they know about the San Jose.

My Parents Met Courted Married In San Jose.I was Conceived Born Raised Lived Loved And I will breath My last breath in the City where I took my First.I will return to the soil that my Ancestors Toiled.There are 15 at Oak Hill and 5 at Calvary Cemetery.Again this means nothing to these experts.To Me...

It is what Constitutes me....The enclosed Pictures and Captions and Documents I hope helps guide you and unveil your Ignorance .My only hope and Goal is simply to inform Educate and accept the responsibility for carrying this rich Chicano Legacy to the Centers of power.You can make better decisions if you have the participation of the Community.Chief Mata demonstrated that Humility when he stated"I cant do this by myself I am asking for your help"??A man of that kind of power asking for help??That effected me.I was in attendance at His Swearing in ceremony March 17.It was the anniversary of Mothers Passing.After I saw him sworn in I went to Oak Hill to tell her where I was.I Know she was proud of me ....

RE: US 101 Airport Electric Signs Project
Dear Mayor, Vice Mayor and Councilmembers:

This office represents Clear Channel Outdoor, Inc. (“Clear Channel”) with respect to the approved Clear Channel Outdoor Digital Billboards-San Jose International Airport Project Plan. This is in response to the November 22, 2021, correspondence from counsel for Outfront Media LLC (“Outfront”) regarding the approved outdoor billboards adjacent to Highway 101 on portions of the Normal Y. Mineta San Jose International Airport and Council’s action taken November 30, 2021, related to the Addendum to EIR addressing these billboards.

Outfront contends that outdoor billboards are prohibited both by the terms of the Advertising Concession Agreement (“Agreement”) between the City of San Jose and Clear Channel and the terms of City Replacement Policy 6-4. Apparently, as a result of these objections and other concerns related to billboards, the City Council (“Council”) declined to accept the Amended EIR and instead is considering an RFP for these outdoor billboards at the San Jose Airport. For the reasons addressed in this letter, the objections raised by Outfront are unfounded and untimely as these billboards were properly approved by Council and awarded to Clear Channel.

The Outdoor Billboard Project (“Project”) was properly proposed and approved under the terms of the amended Agreement in February 2020. Any objections or concerns related to that Project should have been raised at that time. The Addendum to the EIR, which was required as part of the Project plan, was completed in July 2021, and Honorable Mayor and City Council
December 28, 2021

identified no additional impacts from the proposed billboards. The Council’s failure to approve the Addendum was based on objections to the Project and unrelated to the Addendum. The Addendum should have been approved and the Project should proceed.

The Project was properly approved in accordance with the Agreement as amended and Replacement Policy 6-4. A simple review of the history of the Agreement and Policy demonstrates this is the case.

The original Agreement was approved by the City on or about July 31, 2007.1 Since then, there have been six (6) amendments; each amendment was submitted to and approved by the Council. The 6th Amendment, dated April 3, 2019, revised the advertising sites, added a new digital program, extended the Agreement to 2027 and added the Airport Director’s authority to add or modify advertising sites. The Council expressly approved this amendment which clearly provided the Airport Director with the authority to approve new advertising locations.2
In 2007 when the Agreement was initially negotiated, Policy 6-4 expressly prohibited outdoor billboards on City owned property. In accordance with that policy, outdoor billboards were prohibited in the Agreement. Replacement Policy 6-4 was ratified and effective November 9, 2018.3 That Replacement Policy provided guidance related to billboards and confirmed the City’s interest in billboards, including Programmable Electronic Signs, on City-owned property. The Replacement Policy included potential City-owned sites for signage installation including locations at the Airport.

Thereafter, on July 23, 2019, the Council unanimously approved the scope and timeline for large format signage/billboard Request for Proposal on City-owned land. The Memorandum to the Mayor and Council specifies those sites specified in Replacement Policy 6-4 to be addressed in the RFPs and expressly states that the Airport sites identified in the Policy are not part of the proposed RFPs, noting that the Airport has an existing agreement with an advertising concessionaire (Clear Channel) and recognizing that: “The Airport intends to address other advertising opportunities including outdoor billboard advertising once the in-terminal program has been fully developed.”4 Through the Replacement Policy and approval of the Recommendations referencing the Airport negotiations, the City expressly approved and anticipated digital 1 Advertising Concession Agreement by and between the City of San Jose and Clear Channel Outdoor, Inc., dba Clear Channel Outdoor Airports 2 Sixth Amendment to Advertising Concession Agreement Between the City of San Jose and Clear Channel Outdoor, Inc., dba Clear Channel Outdoor Airports 3 Signs on City-Owned Land Including Billboards, Programmable Electronic Signs and Signs Displaying Off-Site Commercial Speech, City of San Jose Council Policy, res No 78814 (Replacement Policy 6-4) 4

billboards at the Airport sites and approved the Airport’s direct negotiations with the concessionaire (Clear Channel) regarding those sites.

In November 2019, Clear Channel submitted a LOI to the City outlining the proposed terms for the development and operations of digital billboards at the specified Airport locations. Thereafter, on February 19, 2020, pursuant to Section 3.3.4 of the Agreement, Clear Channel submitted a formal Project Plan for the Outdoor Digital Billboards. That plan was approved, as specified in Section 3.3.4, on February 21, 2020.5 The approved locations were those Airport locations specified in Replacement Policy 6-4.

That approval constitutes an amendment to the Agreement permitting those outdoor digital billboards as new advertising sites. Clear Channel has incurred significant time and expense in the development of the Project Plan and in the Addendum to the EIR to address the proposed billboards.

The Project Plan was submitted and approved more than18 months ago. The Council was well aware of the negotiations and the Project which was properly approved in accordance with the terms of the Agreement. Any objections to the approval of the Project should have been raised at the time of the approval and not at the time of the Addendum to the EIR which was prepared only after Project approval.

Outfront, in an effort to persuade the Council to alter the approval, asserts that Replacement Policy 6-4 requires that any outdoor billboard project requires an RFP. That is incorrect. The sign approval process specified in Replacement Policy 6-4 provides at paragraph 2 that the City may approved placement of a Sign on City-owned property pursuant to this Policy through approval of a lease or other contractual agreement. The City expressly omitted Airport locations from its RFP and chose to approve placement through its existing contractual agreement with Clear Channel. The policy expressly permits approval through contractual agreement which is how the approval was granted.

Clear Channel has complied with the express terms of its Agreement with the City, the terms of the policy and all City requirements related to the installation of the digital billboards. The Addendum to the EIR found no significant impact from the installation of the digital signs and Clear Channel has already taken appropriate action to address any environmental concerns related to the signage. Moreover, the Federal Aviation Administration notified Clear Channel on December 17, 2021, that it does not object to Clear Channel’s conditions for the construction of the subject digital signs as “[determined] with respect to the safe and efficient use of navigable airspace by aircraft and with respect to the safety of persons and property on the ground.” As noted, Clear Channel has expended significant time and resources in the development of the Project relying on those approvals received in February 2020. There is no legitimate bases to, at this time, refuse to approve the Addendum to the EIR or to circumvent the approved contract with Clear Channel permitting the installation of the 5 February 21, 2020, Project Plan Approval for Outdoor Digital billboards Honorable Mayor and City Council
December 28, 2021

digital billboards. Any objections are invalid and untimely.

Clear Channel respectfully requests that the Council approve the Addendum to the EIR and allow the Project to proceed.

Very truly yours,

Measure A Final Report.pdf;
The Conclusion Page is a Mockery to any rational erudite mind that even remotely knows how to critically analyze Language,Measure A Intention ( which is paramount in this discussion)Let me go step by step.

1.Conspicuously ABSENT from this Report is map of completed units..Land or Hotels that are already bought and what stage of construction they are in??
What projected completion dates??

2.The VERY 1ST HOUSING PROJECT BUILT WITH MEASURE A FUNDS,( WHICH BY THE WAY WAS BUILT COMPLETED 2 YRS AGO) IS A 19 UNIT COMPLEX FOR SENIORS ....YOU READY FOR IT...IT WAS BUILT IN THE GHETTO AREA OF CUPERTINO!!!!@@@!!!
When the Voters were in the booth voting after listening to all the hype as well as Reading Supervisor Cortese report back in 2016( which I have and have used on many occasions as a reference due to its language of urgency accurate interpretation of Data)
The voter believed funding would go to the "Columbus Park" crowd.NOT 19 UNITS IN CUPERTINO?? ARE YOU SERIOUS.

3.ALL corruption flows from that decision.That salient fact disgusted me with the level of Chicanery,Duplicity,Rationalized Rhetoric that tries to cast doubt upon the reality of what I am looking at.

4.I literally Attend 35hrs plus of County S.J.COUNCIL mtgs ,Reimagine SJPD,I attend Jail Oversight Committee,Child abuse Committee,I do research I read ALL memos pertaining to 11 SJ COUNCIL members& 5 Supervisors,I study Redlining I memorized detail on Redlining Documents,So please don't insult me by lying to me.Lie to the public who doesn't know better.

MEASURE A EARNS AN A

INTRODUCTION
In 2016, voters of Santa Clara County (County) passed Measure A, which allows the County to borrow up to $950M (million) by issuing general obligation bonds. Bond proceeds can only be used to acquire or improve real property for the purposes of providing Affordable Housing (AH) and related support and services for vulnerable populations:
including veterans, seniors, the disabled, low- and moderate-income individuals or families, foster youth, victims of abuse, the homeless and individuals suffering from mental health or substance abuse illnesses, which housing may include supportive mental health and substance abuse services.
1 After Measure A passed, the County Board of Supervisors (Board) took two actions. They first set Measure A Program Goals, which included building, by developing or financing, at least 4,800 housing units for residents within the Measure’s designated categories.2 Second, the Board established the Measure A Independent Citizens’ Bond Oversight Committee (Oversight Committee).
3 The nature and complexity of Measure A warrants a strong oversight group tasked with reviewing the expenditures of bond proceeds. Further, as required, an independent, external auditor reviews the County's spending of bond proceeds to ensure accountability.

Less than five years into the Measure’s 11-year cycle, 289 units have been built. Recently, several news outlets have noted that the number of Measure A authorized AH units built is low. 4 Additionally, the 2021 Civil Grand Jury of Santa Clara County (Civil Grand Jury) received a complaint asking about the slow pace of Measure A construction. The purpose of this investigation

is to understand the County’s performance on Measure A, including why the number of units completed to date is so low.

BACKGROUND
It is important to note that Measure A (See Appendix) accountability safeguards state that “the specific purposes of the bond are to fund [emphasis added] the acquisition or improvement of real property in order to provide affordable housing” for the vulnerable populations defined above.5 The County utilizes the bond proceeds to partner with cities and the affordable and supportive housing community to address the AH needs of the target population. The County’s Office of Supportive Housing (OSH) is largely responsible for administering the funding available from the bond proceeds for these AH projects. But OSH is only one player. When it comes to building AH, other factors and organizations have significant control over the development process.

AH Development Is a Lengthy Process
Developing AH is a complex and lengthy process from project inception to the construction of units ready to be leased by qualified occupants. That process includes land acquisition, project design, zoning and permit approval, financing, and, finally, construction and leasing. Multiple entities are involved, and all project stages take time. The length of the development pipeline, which is the time from project inception to units being ready-to-lease, is 4-5 years. The process steps noted below are simplified. For example, project financing work begins quite early and often changes as the entitlement steps are finalized and the overall scope and design of the plan is completed.

Development Takes Many Players
AH development involves a complex mix of organizations which are outside the County’s direct control. Cities, both the city governments and their residents, play an independent role in this process. Cities control entitlement processes, which include land use approvals, the density of housing projects, and design-related issues. Developers negotiate with city councils to obtain AH project approvals. Also, developers and city councils must engage directly with those most impacted by a project, particularly those living near it. These approvals alone can take one to two years. Cities vary widely in their willingness to approve AH projects and in the amount of time it may take to obtain that approval.

Similarly, the funding process for an AH project is complex and involves many sources. A general example of the funding complexity and funding sources in California are illustrated in the chart below:

During the course of this investigation, the Civil Grand Jury conducted interviews, read reports, and followed public discussion about Measure A.

The Civil Grand Jury interviewed County officials charged with implementing Measure A and individuals involved in the oversight effort. The Civil Grand Jury also interviewed public officials involved in AH, who provided information about Measure A progress and effectiveness.

Civil Grand Jury members attended the most recent quarterly meeting (September 2021) of the Oversight Committee, and also reviewed earlier Oversight Committee meeting information. 8 The Civil Grand Jury reviewed reports from the independent external auditor of bond expenditures, the OSH’s Annual Report, and local media articles.

DISCUSSION
Measure A Program and Progress
Guidelines and goals
In 2017, the Board approved Measure A Program Guidelines, which detailed how the Program would be managed and the amount of Measure A funds committed to projects. The Board also established Program Goals, which identified how many units would be assigned to each category of housing. (Finding 1) This was intended to meet the varying needs of the targeted populations.

Housing categories, target populations, and the number of units assigned to each are:
• Permanent Supportive Housing (PSH) Goal: 1,800 units
o This housing category provides units with long-term rental assistance, case management, and supportive services for homeless persons with disabling conditions, including the chronically homeless.
• Rapid Re-Housing (RRH) Goal: 1,600 units
o RRH units house clients who have become homeless through a recent adverse life event. RRH provides time-limited rental subsidy, case management, and supportive services. In RRH programs, individuals and families eventually take over the full rent of their leased housing units.
• Extremely Low-Income (ELI) Goal: 800
o ELI units are rented at Below Market Rate (BMR) to households making less than 30% of a region’s Area Median Income (AMI).
• Very Low-Income (VLI) Goals: 600 units
o VLI units are rented at BMR to households making between 31% and 50% of a region’s AMI.9
The 2017 Program Guidelines also established a target Leveraging Ratio.10 The County set that target requirement at 3:1, which means that, on average, there needs to be $3 of non-County money for every $1 of Measure A money invested. Success in attracting adequate funding from non-County sources is critical to the success of Measure A Goals.

Funds from Measure A totaled $511M, leaving $1.8B in funding from non-County sources. The leveraging ratio equals 3.46:1.

Measure A funding progress
Macias, Gini, and O’Connell (MGO), the independent auditors of Measure A, reported that by the close of the fourth quarter of the 2021 fiscal year (ending 6/30/2021), project funding commitments and expenditures totaled $683.6M, or 72.0% of the $950M allowable bond proceeds. At that time, Measure A was just over 4 years into its 11-year Program cycle.

By that same date, OSH had committed $510.9M for 34 development and renovation projects to fund 57.6% of the Measure A Program housing unit goals. An additional $110.0M has been committed to purchasing 16 properties. These acquisitions include County properties and privately owned properties. All these purchases will be converted to or redeveloped as AH. Development plans are not yet in place for these properties, so AH unit numbers are not yet associated with these commitments. The balance of Measure A commitments total $72M and are detailed in the footnote below.11
The expenditures and activity to-date suggest that Measure A’s stated responsibility, to fund development of multi-family rental housing for the community’s most vulnerable populations, is on target. (Finding 2)
However, performance by housing category has varied. Housing unit achievement is very strong in three of the four Program Guideline categories. The RRH Category is well behind schedule.

This RRH lag will be addressed later in this report. (Finding 3) 11 Program commitments-to-date include a $25.0M bridge loan to developers that will be returned. In addition, the County has committed $25.0M to a first-time homebuyer assistance program and $11.9M to a supportive housing fund. While not building activity per se, both are commitments made consistent with the Measure A Program Guidelines and are targeted to assist the vulnerable populations specified in Measure A.

Table 1: Measure A Housing Unit Funding Commitments by Category12 On August 31, 2021, OSH reported back to the Board of Supervisors on the implementation of Measure A.
13 In the OSH’s unaudited report, the housing funding commitments, including building new units, were up another 291 units, raising the housing Program Goal total performance to 64%.

The switch from fund to build
Measure A’s funding pace appears reasonable, and the money is being committed in a manner that is aligned with the language of Measure A. But construction has been slow.

As noted earlier, the pipeline for complete, ready-to-lease units is long. As of June 2021, 289 AH units have been built. In addition, 1,008 units, or 21.0% of the Program Goals, are in construction.

Another 1,468 units, 30.6% of the Program Goals, are in pre-construction. Pre-construction includes projects that are still working on one or more of the project elements listed in the first two phases of Table 1, such as design, entitlements, non-County financing, and construction preparation. As noted earlier, these are very challenging and time-consuming processes, which are in the hands of numerous non-County parties.

The construction of units is not explicitly in Measure A’s charter. However, the building lag is a topic of discussion for both OSH and the Oversight Committee. Both parties understand that the County can control the funding commitments it makes, and that funding is only part of Measure A’s goals. AH needs to be built, and OSH and the Oversight Committee are discussing how to influence that outcome too.

Building Challenges
As noted above, the County has provided on average about 20% of the required financing for an AH project. The balance of the funds comes from multiple sources, each with their own requirements.

Financing 100% Affordable Housing
Mixed use development projects contain enough high margin office space to finance the inclusion of affordable units. However, developments that are comprised solely of 100% AH units require very large amounts of public money and/or subsidies. Not only is a significant amount of money required, but also many funding sources. One example of this complexity is the La Avenida project, which is a 100-unit, 119-bedroom AH development in Mountain View.

The project’s funding profile illustrates many of the challenges that a 100% AH project faces for both County and City staff implementing Measure A as well as for the developers. The County has committed $19M in Measure A funds, or 25.6% of the total. Mountain View has committed $15M, a large share of its AH development fund. As Figure 3 shows, the Tax Credit and General Partner Equity funding comprise the largest sources ($25M) of AH funding in this and many other AH projects. The challenges of these two funding sources are described below.

Leveraging tax credits and general partner equity contributions In the La Avenida project, the Tax Credit funds and the General Partner Equity funds (the developer’s investment) are combined as the first column in Figure 3 above. Together, they are the single largest line item of the project’s financing, totaling $25.4M. The Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) is a primary source of funding for building 100% AH. LIHTC funds come from a program administered by the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).
15 In California, this HUD program is administered by the California Tax Credit Allocation Committee (CTCAC).16
La Avenida’s success relies heavily on obtaining LIHTC funds. The amounts committed by the County and City of Mountain View are predicated on the project receiving these tax credit funds.

However, the State awards these funds on a competitive scoring basis, with preference going to projects in areas of the state where development costs are relatively low. Because the Bay Area has very high land and building costs, the County is at a clear disadvantage under the State’s current scoring criteria.

The County’s lack of competitiveness for this critical funding has been an ongoing topic of discussion between the Oversight Committee and OSH. The Oversight Committee recommended that the County lobby the State to change its scoring system. The County has written CTCAC requesting a scoring change. While out of the County’s control, this tax credit money is a critical financing element for many Measure A projects and merits the attention and effort being made.

Leveraging ratio
As noted above, in the Measure A Program Guidelines, the County set the target leveraging ratio requirement at 3:1. For all 34 projects funded through June 30, 2021, the average amount of non-County funding sources to Measure A money results in a ratio of 3.5:1, exceeding the Guideline. 15 U.S. Housing and Urban Development, “Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC),” accessed November 1, 2021, https://www.huduser.gov/portal/datasets/lihtc.html. 16 California Office of the State Treasurer, “Low-Income Housing Tax Credit Programs,” accessed November 1, 2021, https://www.treasurer.ca.gov/ctcac/tax.asp.

The fact that Measure A supported AH projects have been able to attract increasing shares of non-County funding bodes well for the coming years of the Measure’s term.

Land use and entitlements challenges
The public record is replete with examples of local contention about the location, design, and developer concessions involved in building AH. Many issues emerge from these discussions, including density and design concerns, neighborhood preservation, and local control. Community acceptance of and desire to build AH varies significantly. To date, 38 of the 54 committed Measure A development and renovation projects and property acquisitions are in San José. To broaden the geographic distribution of projects, OSH has supplemented its funding commitments with additional outreach and support to other cities. OSH is negotiating loan terms with cities through Memorandums of Understanding (MOUs) and developing grant programs to encourage the cities in the County to commit to AH projects.

One example of a creative approach to working through city entitlement issues is the County’s proposal for the La Avenida site. The La Avenida project was first brought to the Mountain View City Council in December of 2020. The County will own the La Avenida property, because they have contributed more funds than the City. Measure A’s financing terms include a 55-year term and affordability covenant.17 Upon expiration of the 55-year term, the County could then repurpose the site for another use and might not be subject to the City’s building code and land use authority.18 The County and Mountain View are currently drafting an MOU that addresses funding commitments to the project and this land use issue.

Housing the Homeless
Rapid Re-Housing challenges
In the case of OSH-managed RRH programs, the unhoused client is a recently homeless individual or family who became homeless due to an event that has upended their life. This event may have been a loss of employment, the loss of a partner or family member, or a serious health problem. In the RRH program, these clients are moved into housing with rent subsidies, case management, and other support services to help them re-stabilize their lives. The expectation is that the rent subsidies will decline over 24 months or less. Then, the clients can transition in place in their AH units. This transition is usually accompanied by a phase out of program service support. To ensure that those 17 City of Mountain View, Agenda Item 4.3, p. 6, https://mountainview.legistar.com/Calendar.aspx. 18 This project is designed so that its purpose and use must remain AH for 55 years. In year 56, that AH restriction lapses.

Page 15 of 25 ends

MEASURE A EARNS AN A
individuals and families can transition in place, units that are set aside for RRH programs will have their rent restricted to a level affordable to households earning nor more than 30% of AMI.

All four of the housing categories in the Program Goals (see Table 1) require significant rent subsidies, and both RRH and PSH clients receive supportive services. Rent subsidies and supportive services are an integral part of meeting Measure A’s overall success. While scarce, both the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and County funding are currently available to support these subsidies and services. But as more units are built, the subsidies and services required will grow, and the County may have to look to other funding sources to achieve Measure A Program Goals.

RRH is an important Program Goal. As noted earlier, OSH has had significant success in funding AH projects in the PSH, ELI, and VLI goal categories. This has not yet been the case in the RRH goal. The Civil Grand Jury learned that OSH and the Oversight Committee are discussing this lag in the RRH progress.19
Chronically homeless challenges
The chronically homeless, as defined by HUD, are either:
• an unaccompanied homeless individual with a disabling condition who has been continuously homeless for a year or more, or
• an unaccompanied individual with a disabling condition who has had at least four episodes of homelessness in the past three years.20
In addition to PSH programs, the chronically homeless are also candidates for transitional housing.

The need for transitional housing is caused by the lack of PSH in the County and across the U.S.

While they are the most visible homeless population, this group has traditionally been either unserved or underserved, and moved in and out of homeless shelters.

Recently, a funding program called Homekey has made significant grant money available to local public entities to specifically target this homeless population. Homekey is funded through a mix of federal funds originating in the CARES Act (83%) and State general fund sources (17%).21 19 “The [Oversight] Committee recognizes that County staff are aware of the Committee’s concerns and are taking steps to address them.” from Attachment “SSC Measure A – BOS transmittal letter annual Q4 FY20-Final,” p. 1, October 20, 2020,

Page 16 of 25 ends

MEASURE A EARNS AN A
Several Homekey funded approaches to housing this target population have been developed, from lightly engineered units in Mountain View to motel and hotel rooms and other relatively inexpensive property acquisitions throughout the County. The clients in this program benefit from a secure, dry place to live with some level of case management.

Homekey projects cost less per bedroom and require less time to complete than traditional AH development. OSH is evaluating this program as an additional and significant non-Measure A funding source. OSH has used Homekey funding in Measure A PSH unit projects and is evaluating its applicability as a RRH solution.

While the Homekey program has had some success getting people off the street, its value as part of the solution to chronic homelessness is yet to be determined. When Homekey funded projects are used as transitional housing, and a client’s stay is long enough to enable them to move into PSH, it can be a meaningful housing solution. However, there are different implementations of Homekey. Some organizations running a Homekey project provide sufficient length of stay. There are also cases, such as the Homekey development in Mountain View, where the expected stay is 90-120 days and then the client is back on the streets. When the client has nowhere affordable to go, the program fails.

Higher Costs in the Future?
OSH and the Oversight Committee have noted concerns about inflation.22 The County’s average contribution per unit has remained relatively stable over the 4.5 years of Measure A. The stability of the County’s contribution does not reflect cost pressures that may develop in the future.

More relevant to the concern about inflation is the estimated total cost per unit or bedroom. The challenge in using this metric is the relatively small sample size of 34 development projects over four years, although that sample includes more than 4,000 bedrooms. Additionally, a project’s location complicates the inflation issue because land and other costs are higher in some cities than others. However, if one examines only the San José projects, which are over 80% of the bedrooms built, it is not clear that inflation has yet affected the unit costs. 21 Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act), H.Res. 748, 116th Cong., 2nd sess., (January 3, 2020), https://www.congress.gov/116/bills/hr748/BILLS-116hr748enr.pdf. 22 MGO, “Independent Advisor’s Annual Report and Fourth Quarter Report for Fiscal Year 2020-21,” September 16, 2021, Agenda Item 4.a, p. 23,

Overall, Bay Area construction trade groups indicate that building/unit inflation has not yet risen significantly.
23 The pandemic reduced construction activity in the County, which would not surprise people who walked by halted construction sites in their communities in 2020. This general slowdown idled many contractors and suppliers. As activity resumes, those contractors and suppliers have been eager to re-build their volume of work and have competitively vied for business. In the 2021 calendar year, the industry expected construction pricing increases in the range of 1-5%.
24 While currently uncertain, there is a possibility that inflation in the coming years may become significant. Recognizing those risks, the County has committed $108M of program funds to the acquisition of 16 properties suitable for development of AH. A primary motivation for these acquisitions was to hedge against likely increases in land costs.

The Oversight Challenge
Measure A’s full text required an Oversight Committee.
25 In June of 2017, the Board established
the Oversight Committee structure, purpose, and responsibilities.26 (Finding 4) The Committee’s mandatory activities were detailed in a memorandum from the Santa Clara County Office of the County Counsel.
27 Those responsibilities include:
• To send advisory reports at least quarterly to the Board and each of the cities in the County • To receive reports on bond implementation provided by OSH and other County departments – including a monthly dashboard of metrics with project level detail • To receive an annual financial audit and quarterly report from an independent financial auditor

• To receive other financial reports as provided
• To provide an annual report with public and wide distribution In this same memorandum, the Office of the County Counsel specified the Committee’s role with respect to the independent auditor:

The Board has provided an independent, external auditor who will report directly to the Committee to the extent permitted by law. While the auditor is to be selected by the Board after a competitive selection process, the Committee, or representatives of the Committee, are required to participate in the selection process. Such participation would most logically occur through a subset of the members of the Committee sitting on an evaluation panel, assessing the strengths and weaknesses of the firms or persons bidding to fill the role of the auditor. The Committee is also able to make a recommendation to the Board regarding the selection of the auditor. Once the auditor is selected, the Committee will have direct access to the firm or person selected. The Committee may request "spot check" audits by the auditor in addition to the annual financial audit.28 The memorandum established the Oversight Committee’s roles and independence. In addition, the Board selected a number of knowledgeable members to serve on the Oversight Committee. While it is common to have both geographical and interest group representation on oversight boards, it is far less common to select members with capabilities related to the subject matter of the bond.29 Members of the Oversight Committee have housing policy experience, accounting expertise, and senior level organizational and political leadership experience. (Finding 5).

The Oversight Committee has been diligent and has worked effectively to exercise its oversight responsibilities. In addition, the Oversight Committee has worked with OSH and the independent auditors, MGO, to promote transparency and to communicate Measure A’s performance. An example of this is the Measure A activity dashboard.30 This set of metrics and reports supplies information on projects and performance at both a detailed project level and in the aggregate. The dashboard was a collaborative and cooperative effort on the part of a sub-committee of the Oversight Committee, OSH, and the independent auditors, MGO.

The Oversight Committee makes recommendations on a quarterly basis. The Civil Grand Jury learned that inquiries, challenges, and concerns are openly shared between the OSH and the 28 Ibid., p. 8.

Oversight Committee in a manner that is transparent and promotes the public’s understanding of Measure A progress.

CONCLUSION
The direct response to the question that prompted this investigation is that the funding purpose specified in Measure A is being addressed – the County is funding the right categories of AH in a timely manner. This could change over time, but for now it looks to be on track.

Reframing the question to ask, “Are we building at an appropriate pace?” leads to a more subtle answer. It is important to recognize that there are many factors in the AH development process that are beyond the control of OSH and the County. A very capable and assertive Oversight Committee has independently come to the same conclusion.

Despite the narrow charter found in Measure A’s language, both OSH and the Oversight Committee have moved the discussion beyond County funding. They are now examining how to ensure the goal of 4,800 units are constructed. The Civil Grand Jury sees value in shining a light on the current state of building progress and the challenges posed in reaching the Measure A Program Goals. While the recommendations to achieve Measure A Program Goals mirror those of the Oversight Committee, the Civil Grand Jury hopes Santa Clara County residents will benefit from this examination of the largest bond measure in County history.

The related Findings 4 and 5 point to the effectiveness and value of the oversight function. The Civil Grand Jury has reviewed other bond oversight committees and attended the California Association of Bond Oversight Committeesstatewide conference.31 All oversight committees have rules for committee representation, most often expressed as geographical or interest group (e.g., seniors, students, taxpayer advocacy groups). None of the reviewed bond oversight committees specify skills or experience relevant to the bond program, such as financial, analytical, political, or legal expertise.

In contrast, members of the Oversight Committee bring housing policy and high-level accountancy expertise, as well as senior political and organizational leadership experience. In the Civil Grand Jury’s judgement, this has strongly contributed to the Oversight Committee’s effectiveness and benefited County residents. The Board of Supervisors is to be commended for their selection of this Oversight Committee’s membership.

APPENDIX
COMPLETE TEXT OF MEASURE A32

BOND AUTHORIZATION
The Board of Supervisors of the County of Santa Clara recognizes the existence of a housing crisis in Santa Clara County: The rising costs of home ownership and the increasing cost of rental units throughout the county have resulted in a persistently high number of homeless individuals within Santa Clara County. The latest homeless count revealed a total of 6,556 homeless individuals in Santa Clara County with 4,627 unsheltered.

In response to this housing crisis, the Board of Supervisors is placing a general obligation bond on the ballot to generate up to $950 million for the acquisition or improvement of real property in order to provide affordable local housing for vulnerable populations including veterans, seniors, the disabled, low and moderate income individuals or families, current or former foster youth, victims of abuse, the homeless and individuals suffering from mental health or substance abuse illnesses. "Low income” means individuals and families whose income does not exceed 80 percent of area median income. "Moderate income" means individuals and families whose income lies in the range of 80 percent to 120 percent of area median income. The housing may be provided at below market rates, and may be provided in connection with supportive mental health and substance abuse services.

A portion of the proceeds, not to exceed $150 million, with not more than $50 million for first-time homebuyers, may be used to provide housing that is affordable for moderate income individuals and families; such portion may be used, by way of example only, for first-time homebuyers or to promote housing that is in proximity to employment.

Even though housing for vulnerable populations is currently being built, the number of units available does not satisfy the projected demand within our community. The Board of Supervisors intends to distribute the new affordable housing units within the County and to leverage the resources acquired through this bond to attract both private and public matching funds, including from state and federal sources. Different forms of assistance for vulnerable populations may be provided based on programs and spending as determined by the Board of Supervisors. 32 County of Santa Clara, “Complete Text of Measure A,” accessed November 4, 2021, https://www.sccgov.org/sites/scc/Documents/Complete-Text-of-Measure-A-20.pdf.

MEASURE A EARNS AN A
The Board of Supervisors views housing as a critical need of vulnerable populations, without which individuals in these populations are unlikely to achieve any level of stability. Creating and improving housing for the County's vulnerable populations is consistent with the County's mission to plan for the needs of a dynamic community, provide quality services, and promote a healthy, safe and prosperous community for all. The County is seeking to achieve this in a cost-effective way.

ACCOUNTABILITY SAFEGUARDS
Statement of Purpose: The specific purposes of the bond are to fund the acquisition or improvement of real property in order to provide affordable local housing for vulnerable populations including veterans, seniors, the disabled, low and moderate income individuals or families, victims of abuse, the homeless and individuals suffering from mental health or substance abuse illnesses, which housing may include supportive mental health and substance abuse services.

The proceeds of any bonds issued pursuant to this bond measure will be applied only to these specific purposes.

Partnerships,SVRISING,SOMOS,P.A.T.H...P.A.C.T...SV@HOME,SOUTH BAY LABOR COUNCIL) Councilwoman Rebeca Armendariz of Gilroy is the key that connects ALL these ORGS. To Google deal,Her paid work for Carrasco Chavez South bay ,working partnerships)Armendariz was minimizing denying casting doubt ,mocking,joking,minimizing,the verbal threats that I told her I rcvd.I suspected her knowledge due to her complete lack of concern for my safety,life..1 week later Armendariz is on phone with me when 2 cars sped up and stopped in middle of street in front of Gardener( 175 E Virginia ave)firing 4 shots missing me.She never once suggested that I was correct in threat to my life..I warned Councilman Peralez Immediatly of what happened and my suspicion of Armendariz involvement.I also told Carrasco due to fact they are also co signers of NDA with Google in 2016.That is start point of Corruption.

September 30 I sent Cindy Chavez an explicit detailed email where I told her warned her of how lethally dangerous Councilwoman Rebeca Armendariz is and that the issue of her Corruption lethality must be addressed...
30days to the day after I warned Cindy Chavez...1 boy is Murdered in Rebeca Armendariz house 3 boys severely wounded ,2 guns found on scene,she is there,70people there...yet no one in custody??? So a murderer is in our community 4 families impacted 1 family permanently..And the 1st words out of Rebeca Armendariz mouth when she had chance to speak was"I AM JUST GLAD NOTHING HAPPENED TO ME OR MY FAMILY"???? WHA??
This Corruption is killing citizens in tents .someone lacing dope with fetanyl...Unbelievable the truth needs to come out and Chavez and Peralez must step out of race.Your both Responsible for Rebeca Armendariz and what she did to those boys.You both knew and wilfully deliberately refused to act.your negligence led to boys death...we need a new grand jury report as this one is Prima Facie illegitimate.

All San Jose residents, such as me, who have been moved into a different Council district, need to be notified in writing by the City.

We are not chattel.

We are voters who have established relationships with our current Councilperson and their staff. Now we are to be moved.

I was appalled at the process. Councilpersons, each and all of you, and the Mayor, should have had no input into this process. A Blue Ribbon Committee should have redrawn the lines.

Since the die is cast, I ask that the City notify all of us that were moved into a new district.

This is especially important so that Mobilehome Park residents will know their new Councilperson if they have been moved.

Thanks.
