Reading in item number two determination of schedule of outstanding committee items and we do have one speaker that signed up.

Anything from uh council members or staff about the pending list we don't have an administrator sorry let's understand about that.

I just figured it's usually city administrator Johnson who might be the president.

Anything from uh DOT or public works for the pending list all right well let's uh hear our public comment please calling in the names that signed up to speak on item number two Mrs.

Olabala let me start off by thanking you chair for the information about we do have a new human service uh department head it's fantastic I just read that the city of San Jose has focused a target initiative on park vehicles with expired registrations and from August 18 to November the 8th they have told 527 vehicles and cited what are we doing related to this issue of parked vehicles with expired registrations being fined or towed can we have a report on that I am concerned about the encampment policy not being thoroughly understood by the public uh this concept of criminalization of our homeless community is just too far fetched we need to have a clear before going to council you need to have a clear understanding from Mr uh Houston what exactly what we're trying to accomplish and I'm not sure if this council is being supportive enough and maybe it's because they don't know what you're really intending to do.

So uh the other thing I'm concerned about is the uh rules committee has placed the item of the ABC security contract on the agenda for approval that that contract expired in June 30th, I think, of this year.

And the reason for why we are at this point extending the contract, there should no there should not be any kind of situation like this.

This should have been brought up a long time ago if you wanted to extend the contract.

Uh and lastly, uh I got a few seconds.

Illegal dumping, the whole perspective of what's going on should be at every meeting, how we handling this illegal dumping situation.

Thank you, Mr.

Good morning, council members.

My name is Jeffrey Wong with Public Works, and today I have an update for you on our environmentally preferable purchasing policy, which incorporates updates related to state regulation, SB 1383, the short-lived climate pollutants act, as well as existing environmental regulations that the City Council has already approved, namely our 2030 Equitable Climate Action Plan, as well as our reusable foodware ordinance.

This policy was first passed in 2007 by this council to better protect human and environmental health as it relates to the city's purchasing decisions, and we bring it before you today for an update, a much needed update.
