I have recently been informed that there is a motion to bar Public Comment, via telephone and zoom, from future meetings under the guise of curbing "hate speech." While I do not condone any form of hate speech, there are multiple ways to address this issue,,especially in the heart of Silicon Valley (the hub of the tech industry), so! banning all comments is NOT the right way to approach this very easily addressed problem. As you well know there are many Seniors,and disabled people,among us, who may not be able to attend these meetings in person, but do have the options of phoning in, or using Zoom. Of course this is true for anyone else as well. Finally, We the People have a right to know exactly what our government is doing in real time, so, this proposed action needs to be stopped immediately,. To any of you copied here, please feel free to contact me. Thank you for your consideration.

Don Murdoch, Contact info.

Mayor, Council, Public record
I have been asked by Georga King to forward her concerns about ending the ability of residents to speak by remote access. Here is her email
“I'm very upset about this, I'm one of the seniors at Quail Hollow that cannot drive. I've attended the meetings thru zoom and have spoken. Let's not ruin this for us that cannot drive and use a walker. The people that are rude will be rude in person too. Thank you “ If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor. If an elephant has its foot on the tail of a mouse and you say that you are neutral, the mouse will not appreciate your neutrality. – Desmond Tutu

Dear Mayor Mahan and San José City Council,
I ask you to rise to the challenge rather than cave to bullies intent on stifling the input of disadvantaged communities. The City needs to immediately restore virtual public comment for all City Council, Committee, and Commission meetings.

It is clear there is an effort to silence members of disadvantaged communities. Many residents rely on being able to provide virtual public comment due to reasons of disability, health, work schedules, parenting and other demands of modern life. The strategy appears to be to engage in racist and hateful speech in order to bully the Council into eliminating virtual public comment. The bullies scored a victory when the Council decided to eliminate this option without first seeking community input and not at the bequest from community members.

By eliminating remote access on the heels of restricting access to the council chambers in December, San José has fallen from a model of good government dedicated to promoting civic participation to a city displaying troubling behavior and giving the impression that hearing from its residents is a bother.

Do not open links or attachments from untrusted sources.

We agree that the comments of a few bad actors are vile and have no place in a community meeting.

Rather than using racist and hateful speech as an excuse to cut off community participation and hamper people’s First Amendment right to petition their government, however, the City should rise to the challenge of finding solutions to preserve access for everyone while continuing to facilitate public comment by providing a virtual option.

Ending the process of remote participation, is to deny a large segment of the community the opportunity to participate in our democratic process. Some examples include:

Disabled residents who rely on technology to speak, or who otherwise have to arrange rides with Paratransit.

Immunocompromised residents who take on unnecessary risks to their health by spending hours in a packed room.

Working people without the ability to arrange their schedules around hours long council meetings.

Parents with small children who can’t take time off to attend City meetings.

For example, budget season is the most critical time of year for civic engagement. The ban on remote comments means the people most in need of an equitable city budget will be sidelined throughout the process.

The possibility that the ban on remote comments might only last months is no comfort to those who wish to comment on current City Council, Committee and Commission matters in order to ensure that quality of life in San Jose is maximized. I ask that you immediately restore virtual public comment to ensure that you and the City once again benefit from the voices silenced by your recent decision.

It's hard to get downtown and find parking. Not allowing public comment via Zoom does not enable the democratic process.

Why are you limiting access to civic participation for the community? We are in Silicon Valley and the use of technology is San Jose's history. Enable citizens who can not physically be in city hall the ability to engage in our city's civic process. Be democratic! peggy cabrera

Ending the process of remote participation, is to deny a large segment of the community the opportunity to participate in our democratic process. Some examples include:

Disabled residents who rely on technology to speak, or who otherwise have to arrange rides with Paratransit.

Immunocompromised residents who take on unnecessary risks to their health by spending hours in a packed room.

Working people without the ability to arrange their schedules around hours long council meetings.

Parents with small children who can’t take time off to attend City meetings.

Find a way to delay the public broadcast to edit or mute unwanted comments. Public radio has been doing it for decades. You can avoid unwarranted comments.

Dear Mayor Mahan and San José City Council,
I ask you to rise to the challenge rather than cave to bullies intent on stifling the input of disadvantaged communities. The City needs to immediately restore virtual public comment for all City Council, Committee, and Commission meetings.

We agree that the comments of a few bad actors are vile and have no place in a community meeting.

Subject: Ban City-Sponsored Travel to Israel
You don't often get email from Learn why this is important San Jose City Clerk ,
I urge you to take action and ban city authorized travel to Israel. In 2022, the City Council blocked then Mayor Sam Liccardo from traveling to Qatar due to concerns about that country's human rights record, yet said nothing when he made a taxpayer-funded official trip to Israel in 2019. As Israel's extreme violations of human rights grow day by day, I ask that you act consistently and institute a policy ending official City travel to Israel.

Today, residents of San Jose are hurting, witnessing families and innocent civilians being killed by Israel in Gaza, the West Bank, and East Jerusalem. Over the past 100+ days, Israel has killed over 27,000 Palestinians, besieged educational, cultural, and medical institutions in Gaza, and committed countless human rights violations against the Palestinian people.

According to the United Nations Human Rights Office in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, these violations include the targeted destruction of civilian infrastructure, the intentional deprivation of food, water, and healthcare from the civilian population of Gaza, and the indefinite detention of Gazans without trial.

In 2019, the City Council rejected then Mayor Liccardo’s trip to Qatar based on a report by Amnesty International that Qatar had committed human rights abuses. Here is how Amnesty International described Israel’s human rights record before that country began its military invasion of Gaza:
“Israel’s continuing oppressive and discriminatory system of governing Palestinians in Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territories (OPT) constituted a system of apartheid, and Israeli officials committed the crime of apartheid under international law.”

Learn why this is important Dear City Council,
Protect Our Parks. We ask you to ensure that the definition of parkland fully protects existing, under construction, and planned parks in the City of San José.

The neighborhood would like to have Clean, safe, and well-clear posted signs saying what the rules are for each park. Also, bathrooms are locked at night, and signs say no RV parking, No Tents or camping, and no food trucks till late hours of the night. No overnight staying, and detruing homeless from coming and trying to stay at the park at any time. For family and children's safety around school pickup and drop off to walk to the school. As well as no Dumping.

Parks are important to the residents of San José across the city. Rich or poor, young or old, regardless of ethnicity, religion, gender, or ability: parks are important to us all – for our physical health, our mental health, and the health of the community.

I urge the Council to ensure parks are protected in their entirety. Whether “improved” parks, or unimproved parks that focus public access on contemplative, passive enjoyment of the natural environment and its biological resources. I urge the Council to push for precise and expansive language to provide the maximum protection of our park lands. I also urge the Council to recommend that the City take steps to ensure the protection of planned or under construction parks. In addition, I request that staff include a full list of the recognized Chartered Parks in the report, and in a maintained online directory, for public transparency.

Protect Our Parks.

Sincerely,
Maria Burrus

We need better play spaces for our families. Not just Little Tykes commercial drop in playgrounds.

Destination playgrounds that consider the development of the whole child including gross motor skills, fantasy, appropriate risk and spaces where families can play together. Happy Hollow, Rotary Play Garden are good examples. Please look up Monstrum. Stellar cities deserve stellar play spaces that fuel the imagination.

Protect Our Parks. We ask you to ensure that the definition of parkland fully protects existing, under construction, and planned parks in the City of San José.

The City Charter states “the public parks of the City shall be inalienable unless otherwise authorized by the affirmative votes of the majority of the electors voting on such a proposition in each case.” Further, the Charter states “[a]s used herein ‘public parks’ means any and all lands of the City which have been or are dedicated, improved and opened to the public for public park purposes.” Additionally, the staff's memo (https://www.sanjoseca.gov/home/showdocument? id=108319&t=638406648249390275) notes:

Honorable Mayor and Esteemed Councilmembers,
I write respectfully to ask that you decline Fast Mart’s application for a liquor license at 1484 S. White Rd. SJ 95127. As a member of the community, we work hard to improve the quality of life for our neighbors. In our community, we do our best to patronize our local businesses and wish only great success to the owners of this store. However, our community prioritizes the safety and well-being of our many residents and neighborhood over the success of a single business. • The site has a history of high call volumes to the SJPD. Please be reminded that it is our neighbors who place these calls for service. Since the site has been without a liquor license, the call volumes have decreased significantly.
• The site is less than 50 ft. away from an apartment building with families, and about 150 ft. away from single-family homes. Neighbors have reached out to their Neighborhood Association for help in alleviating disruptive behavior and crime at this location in the past • The site is within 500 ft of a K-12 school, less than 1500 ft. of our Mt. Pleasant High School, and within a half mile from our Mt. Pleasant Elementary School. • The denial of this liquor license does not prevent a person from buying alcohol. A 7-11 is within 50 ft. and two grocery stores and two liquor stores are located less than a mile away • Although the application may be consistent with the literal Envision San Jose 2040 General Plan for Public Record: 67

Land Use and Employment Policy IE 2.6, increased alcohol taxes likely do not off set the costs of deploying police personnel or Code Enforcement personnel to mitigate crime and blight • A February 28, 2023 letter to the applicant notes that “Neighborhood/Community Commercial uses typically have a strong connection to and provide services and amenities for the nearby community and should be designed to promote that connection with an appropriate urban form that supports walking, transit use and public interaction.” Increased alcohol purchases and consumption do not promote connection with the neighborhood
• Also noted in the February 28, 2023 letter to the applicant, I agree that increasing the number of sites selling off sale alcohol in our neighborhood is consistent with the following:
o Adversely affect the peace, health, safety, morals, or welfare of persons residing or working in the surrounding area; or
o Impair the utility or value of property of other persons located in the vicinity of the area; or o Be detrimental to public health, safety or general welfare.

In summary, I ask that you deny this application and place the quality of life of the immediate neighborhood as the highest of priority.

The land use plan for the former Pleasant Hills Golf Course site is a unique opportunity for the City of San Jose to envision a development strategy in partnership with its residents. This is an unusually large, empty site that is very rare in our community. Its development provides an opportunity to address multiple needs.

Statement of Principles from community members:

1. Housing with a gradual transition from existing single family homes on Flint Ave and Vista Verde Ave to higher density, including 15%+ affordable housing units (such as for seniors, firefighters, teachers, service workers, etc.).

2. Significant amounts of on-site parkland and green space. Development on this site should include significant acreage of publicly accessible parkland, green space, and tree canopy and should prioritize native plants to maximize biodiversity and habitat value.

3. A mix of uses that includes jobs, high-quality recreational public space including a community center, and green space with quality retail and commercial facing White Rd.

4. Resilience to climate change. With the development of this site, the surrounding community will lose the cooling effect and stormwater absorption capability of the existing 115 acres of open space and tree canopy. To mitigate the impact of this loss, include green stormwater infrastructure and tree canopy in order to reduce flooding and heat island effect along with energy efficiency considerations.

Public Record: 68

5. A mix of transportation options that will directly benefit the residents of East San José.

Transportation facilitation that promotes the use of public transit and mitigates high volume campus entrance and egress on Flint Ave and Vista Verde Ave.

The land use plan for the former Pleasant Hills Golf Course site is a unique opportunity for the City of San Jose to envision a development strategy in partnership with its residents. This is an unusually large, empty site that is very rare in our community. Its development provides an opportunity to address multiple needs.

Statement of Principles from community members:

3. A mix of uses that includes jobs, high-quality recreational public space including a community center, and green space with quality retail and commercial facing White Rd.

4. Resilience to climate change. With the development of this site, the surrounding community will lose the cooling effect and stormwater absorption capability of the existing 115 acres of open space and Public Record: 69

Dear Mayor Mahan and City Council,
The land use plan for the former Pleasant Hills Golf Course site is a unique opportunity for the City of San Jose to envision a development strategy in partnership with its residents. This is an unusually large, empty site that is very rare in our community.

Develop a residential park for the entire east side – jewel – plant native foliage. Develop (nonfast food) restaurants, recreation services that invite families – bike shops… develop walking and bike paths for families.

Partner with the families and residents to develop and enhance that entire corridor.

This is the wrong location for high-density housing.

That geographic location is unable to sustain any large influx of residents. There is no suitable transportation infrastructure for autos. Yes, autos. Light rail and buses are political levers. "seniors, firefighters, teachers, service workers, etc" need realistic transportation.

There's already too much congestion and traffic in getting to and from that location.

If you must play the "public transportation" card to pacify the over voiced minority, then build high density housing next to the Eastridge transit center.

Please include parkland, greenspace and trees throughout the project.

We also need at least 20% low to moderate income homes for low income families as well as moderate income families like teachers, social workers, etc.

Lastly, there needs to be a huge and accurate study on traffic as. Flint Avenue is only a two lane road. Also, Tully is already a nightmare in the morning between White Rd and 101.

The land use plan for the former Pleasant Hills Golf Course site is a unique opportunity for the City of San Jose to envision a development strategy in partnership with its residents. This is an unusually large, empty site that is very rare in our community. Its development provides an opportunity to address multiple needs.

Statement of Principles from community members:

3. A mix of uses that includes jobs, high-quality recreational public space including a community center, and green space with quality retail and commercial facing White Rd.

4. Resilience to climate change. With the development of this site, the surrounding community will lose the cooling effect and stormwater absorption capability of the existing 115 acres of open space and tree canopy. To mitigate the impact of this loss, include green stormwater infrastructure and tree canopy in order to reduce flooding and heat island effect along with energy efficiency considerations.

I want to see more affordable and quality housing for our public service community: teachers, firefighters, etc. But I want there to be a very well-developed system to avoid corruption in the availability of such housing. Also, I don't think we need more retail at this time, "quality" or not.

In addition, we need to work on our city before we face the same challenges as Oakland. LETS WORK TOGETHER!!!

My opinion is no townhome or condominium.

Build single family home. With a lot size of 4500. .

It’s going to be. Very traffic . Now our area was. Good and please don’t build anything that make our area so o traffic and safety is the number one concern.

Thank you so much. I hope my voice will be heard.

Thank you

I am very interested in not only having acreage like this used for improving a neighborhood, but the need to address climate impact is essential.. It is impossible to reproduce the amount of green space and tree canopy already existing on this land that enriches the environment. Please choose carefully and mindfully for ALL involved.

The land use plan for the former Pleasant Hills Golf Course site is a unique opportunity for the City of San Jose to envision a development strategy in partnership with its residents. This is an unusually large, empty site that is very rare in our community. Its development provides an opportunity to address multiple needs.

Statement of Principles from community members:

3. A mix of uses that includes jobs, high-quality recreational public space including a community center, and green space with quality retail and commercial facing White Rd.

4. Resilience to climate change. With the development of this site, the surrounding community will lose the cooling effect and stormwater absorption capability of the existing 115 acres of open space and Public Record: 88

To mitigate the impact of this loss, include green stormwater infrastructure and tree canopy in order to reduce flooding and heat island effect along with energy efficiency considerations.

I used to live in East San Jose, but I was priced out. I am familiar with that space being considered. It is a beautiful space. Please conserve as much of the trees and Greenland as the land is developed. The temperature of the community will be lower, and the neighbourhood will have a green space to live. Please do not allow for a shopping center when the Safeway is right down the road. Take care this property is used for a healthy San Jose with more housing with green space and trees!

Where is your respect and support for our global brothers and sisters experiencing apartheid and discriminatory violence? It has also come to my attention that the City recently decided to no longer allow public comments via Zoom at City Council meetings. This decision comes at a time when San Jose citizens are speaking out in regards to the humanitarian crisis in Gaza. This can be seen as nothing but suppression of our right to civic engagement.

The citizens of San Jose are speaking up anyways. We are demanding that you represent us in compassion for the Palestinian people and outrage that the Israeli government continues to move forward with attacks on civilian-crowded areas.

I urge you to take action and ban city authorized travel to Israel. In 2022, the City Council blocked then Mayor Sam Liccardo from traveling to Qatar due to concerns about that country's human rights record, yet said nothing when he made a taxpayer-funded official trip to Israel in 2019. As Israel's extreme violations of human rights grow day by day, I ask that you act consistently and institute a policy ending official City travel to Israel.

I would appreciate your consideration.

Subject: Bike Lanes on 2nd Need a more permanent barrier Some people who received this message don't often get email from . Learn why this is important Dear Mr. Mahan, Mr. Torres, and the Transportation Committee of San Jose, I am writing to you because I am frustrated with the conditions of the bike lane on 2nd street between San Carlos & San Salvador. This section of bike lane is part of my daily commute between the CalTrain station and my home on 3rd and Williams. I would say the bike lane there is nearly blocked at least 3 out of 5 days of my commute, either by parked cars or by out-of-place dumpsters.

I understand that the temporary barriers installed are less costly than putting in permanent barriers, and allowed the city to put up lots of bike lanes at a low cost to the taxpayer. However, on this patch Public Record: 97

(see photos attached) In some cases, they have been moved out of place by cars. Other times, cars back over them and are parked squarely in the bike lane. I do not enjoy biking on the road with cars, and so will start to bike on the sidewalks more if the bike lanes continue to be blocked.

Anything you can do to help remedy the situation including the consideration of this area for more permanent bike lane barriers would be much appreciated.

Some people who received this message don't often get email from . Learn why this is important Zoom has made it possible to ‘attend’ meetings etc that I would otherwise would not attend in person.

I find downtown an obstacle course and in turn, will not drive there. So, Zoom is required in order to participate in local / civic discussions.

Keep Zoom access to civic meetings!

You don't often get email from Learn why this is important I hope the subject is misinformation! It's my understanding that public comment is no longer going to be allowed when the public attends meetings virtually. Please tell me this isn't true! There are many reasons to attend virtually (comprimised health, transportation issues, convenience, etc.).

Why in the world would our rights be taken away because we don'tj attend a meeting in person?! My source tells me this step is belng taken to eliminate the occurrence of hate speech. First of all, hate speech is absolutely unacceptable! But if all of those attending meetings virtually are not going to be allowed to speak on the issues, that's totally unacceptable as well! It seems to me that all you have to do is hit the mute button cutting off the hateful speech. Plus, you've got the person's name and phone # so you can address them individually and not penalize all of us.

If this change is for real, it appears more abouit eliminating the public's voices rather then protecting anyone from hate speech.
