And before public comment, I'm just going to make sure to read our um our reminder that we expect all attending to follow the code of conduct located in the agenda and failure to comply with the code of conduct and behavior which will disturb, disrupt, or impede the orderly conduct of the meeting may result in removal from the meeting.

Hi, thank you.

Blair Beekman.

Hopefully, it can be a forerunner for uh 2026.

I'm hopeful in those terms.

Um interesting agenda you have coming up.

I wanted to comment quickly on the uh unhoused uh items you're gonna be.

I think there are going to be uh on the agenda.

Um there's also military issues that um you're going to review your military uh tech involvement.

It's an important concept after 9-11 that we we are changing after the era of 9-11.

Uh that's important, and um good luck that we're addressing um the future of our of our housing and unhoused issues and uh what that can be developing into.

Thank you.

All right, back to the committee.

Move approval second.

All right, we have a motion and a second.

Don't see any other comments, so let's vote.

Alright, the motion carries five zero, and now we're on to consent.

We have three items on consent today.

Any public comments?

Yes, we have one speaker, Blair.

Please make your way down to the podium.

Hi, we're even late but here as usual, or late as usual, but here.

Yeah, so um for this item I wanted to comment.

Consent calendar items include uh cost of residential development for San Jose, along with your unhoused items next week.

Uh, you're doing uh these uh study sessions, uh cost of residential development after coming out of COVID.

We were really timid and wanted to continue to practice um uh market rate housing.

And it was really presentable that we could be working towards uh middle income housing that can be a really interesting way to spawn the future of our housing needs, and I think offers a lot more flexible choices for ourselves.

And um I hope this can be a time we can start to be considering that more.

And really, of course, the depth of what mixed income ideas can be working towards.

Um, we really need to consider that people from different income areas can live in the same neighborhood, and that is okay.

We haven't been able to quite do that yet.

Good luck to better develop that.

Um I wanted to comment with 55 seconds remaining.

Um monthly activity reports uh that has the uh auditing report.

Um, thank you for this report.

It just gives a list of different things I can look up in what you're working on as city government.

Um, and it's a long list.

It's like escape my memory for the moment, but it's um it's helpful in what it offers, and um, I'm glad it's there and um look to San Diego.

We're dealing with some of these same issues in San Diego, and they're they speak of you guys, and I try to speak of you, and uh it's important to remind uh what they do well also that I think um they have a real soft touch in how to do things really well, and um so good luck in working together on stuff.

Thank you.

Back to the committee.
