May 2015 San Jose Sharks

I highly recommend going to the Sharks game because they have awesome

players like Joe Thornton, Logan Couture, Joe Pavelski, Tomas Hertl,

Brent burns, Patrick marleau, Matt Irwin, and Marc-edouard vlasic and more. Logan

Couture and Joe Pavelski have both play 82 games and Couture has scored 27 goals

and Pavelski has scored 37 goals in the 2015 season. Joe Thorton is a big help to

the team because he has assisted on 49 goals this season. I like watching Antti

Niemi and Alex Stalock the Sharks goalies block goal attempts. I recommend going

to the games because they play good hockey that is exciting and fun to watch.

At the games there is also awesome food like corn bread, Dip n' Lets, cotton candy. Also at the end of the Sharks games the players give signed pucks to

people. They also give out coupons for free tacos if the sharks score with only two minutes left in the second period. The Sharks have not yet won a Stanley Cup but I hope they get one sometime soon and they win on home ice too. Do you know that the Sharks' rivals are the LA

Kings and the Anaheim Ducks? I think that the way the Sharks come on the ice at game time worries their rivals. I like it when the Sharks skate out of the big shark's mouth at the beginning of the game. It is really cool when they shark's eyes light up red and smoke comes out of its mouth as the players skate out on the ice.

I also like at the end of the games when the Sharks players give out signed pucks. PUBLIC RECORD

Dear Councilmember Herrera,

This is to clear up representations made at the November 17th Rules Committee meeting regarding The Dancing Cat. There seems to be a misunderstanding that because the project ended, it was a failure. As co-founders of The Dancing Cat we would appreciate this opportunity to set the record straight.

By all quantitative and qualitative measures, The Dancing Cat was wildly successful. The project was initially planned as a 4-week cat adoption pop-up. Due to the many successful adoptions, the proven financial viability, and the resounding community support, we extended the project for a total of 6 months. We evaluated the project's success based on the following: • • Cats adopted: 53 • • Visitors to the space: 2100+ • • Volunteers: approximately 50 • • Volunteer hours: over 2000 • • Events: 8 open to the public, attended by over 100 people • • Reviews: 5 stars on Yelp, Goldstar and our booking website • • Initial capital outlay was recovered in the first month; we were cash flow positive every month we were open What can't easily be captured in numbers is the warm reception of The Dancing Cat from the local neighborhood and from the community at large. Many of our volunteers were lfom Julian-Saint James and nearby. Visitors coming through the door were thrilled with the experience of being with cats that were roaming free in the comfortable room. Visitors also connected with each other and an engaged community emerged. We had many repeat visitors, and the response was overwhelmingly positive.

The final measure of our success is that there are a number of groups who have seen The Dancing Cat as a proof of concept and are working to take the idea forward into a permanent cat adoption venue. We fully support this and are happy to lend the benefit of our experience to these groups.

If you'd like to have more details about what we've accomplished, please feel free to contact us.

Respectfully,

Ann Chasson and Mary Rubin Co-founders, The Dancing Cat

Mayor Sam Liccardo Members of the City Council City of San Jose 200 East Santa Clara St. 18th Floor San Jose, CA95113

Dear Honorable Mayor Liccardo and City Council,

From time to time the City Council has items on the agenda of particular interest to senior citizens; or to a segment of the senior population. These subjects usually generate a significant turnout of older constituents. Some of these people have disabilities or other issues endemic to a senior population. If there are a number of items on the agenda, the agenda item that regards seniors may not come up for several hours. For the older people in the audience this can become a burden. They may have to leave the council chambers early if they are awaiting transportation or if they have other medical issues they need to attend to. In some cases senior citizens just stop coming to Council meetings for fear of a long wait for the subject to be heard.

This issue was discussed at some length during the last Senior Citizens Commission meeting. After reviewing several alternatives the Commission voted to pass the following motion: The Senior Commission write a letter to the Mayor and City Council requesting their consideration of providing a "time certain" for agenda items that impact or involve seniors.

Naturally, this is simply a request from the Senior Citizens Commission on behalf of the many seniors in our community. We realize this may not be possible in every instance. However, a "Time Certain" on the agenda will give interested older members of our city greater confidence as to when the item will be discussed by the Council.

We greatly appreciate the continued efforts on the part of this Council to improve the quality of life for all our citizens. We hope you will give consideration to this request as we move through this year and the years ahead.

Re: Why didn't Council deliver on promises to the residents of Alviso after the 1983 flood? Were claims paid? Using FUND 469 for street sweeping activities instead of building pump stations was not a good idea.

Dateline: City Desk [Thursday, (12.03.15)]. Stormwater conveyance infrastructure could have been updated. Below are excerpts from an article written by, (Ramona Giwargis-San Jose Mercury News-Sunday: 11.29.15) "Alviso relives the floods Has S.J. learned El Nino lesson? City vows repeat of1983 calamity won't occur, but some fear it's inevitable Now, as San Jose girds for the predicted El Nino storms next year — forecasters expect the most rainfall from January to March — city leaders are paying extra-close attention to Alviso, a community of nearly 2,500 residents, who often feel neglected and forgotten by the city. "There are more than a few folks that feel the city hasn't served the residents well historically," Liccardo said, adding that the city is "laser-focused" on preparing for the impact of rains in a portion of the city that has "suffered enormously in the past from flooding."But Alviso residents feel like the city is leaving them behind. The community was promised a new $9.4 million pump station to bolster its aging storm sewer system, but it won't be ready until summer 2018. Construction is set to begin in 2017, but city leaders are pushing to accelerate the process. City officials understand the frustration. They wanted that new pump to be ready, too — they blame red tape and funding shortages — and at a recent community meeting outlined a host of stopgap measures to keep the floodwaters at bay. The city, which owns nine portable water pumps — whose sizes range from 6 to 8 inches — already installed three in Alviso and will deploy more, if needed. Crews will clean the storm drains twice to remove debris and prevent flooding, rent additional trucks and cleaning equipment and monitor Alviso around the clock during storms." Below is a portion of Mayor Liccardo's book, "Safer City, Smarter Government." Specifically, "How Storm Sewers Can Pay to Sweep Streets" (Pages 83-86). Also enclosed, from the City of San Jose's "Budgeted Funds Guide," is the Storm Sewer Capital Fund's [FUND 469] description and restrictions on use. From Mayor Liccardo's book, page 85: "While Transportation staff and Council might understandably have defended the General Fund from any additional burden, it seemed to me that we could find funding in another source. I urged us to consider using the Storm Sewer Capital Fund (SSCF). What does the Storm Sewer fund have to do with street sweeping? Well, it's a ratepayer-supported fund used to manage and improve storm water runoff— that is, to reduce trash and pollution — to protect our rivers, creeks and the Bay. Street sweeping dramatically reduces the quantity of toxic and non- biodegradable pollutants — plastic trash, oils and the like — that would reach waterways and damage local habitats. We had millions in the SSCF reserve, with ample funding to pay for routine projects like storm drains and outfalls."

The San Jose Mercury News should have added the historical truth as to how city officials screwed Alviso.

Re I Diminution of Property Value: Vagrants permitted to loiter at Ryland Park and Dog Park.

Vagrants drink alcohol freely and drugs are being used and "passed around."

Ryland Park restrooms should be shuttered to prevent lewd and lascivious conduct.

Remove the unsanitary Barbeque pits. Vagrants build large and very dangerous fires in pits.

Neighbors are fearful of growing vagrant congregations at Ryland Park.

Dateline: City Desk [Thursday, (12.03.15)] Vagrants should be arrested and tossed into Elmwood.

Again, I assert and complain as to the injuries I continue to suffer from the "Diminution of Property Value" that proximately causes the aforementioned injuries from the city permitting a vagrant intrusion into Ryland Park and the Dog Park.

This afternoon, approximately 1525 hours, a Pace Arrow motor home [CA # 5AVK512] showed up across from Ryland Park. The individual "lives" in this motor home and the occupant consorted with the vagrant congregation located at the corner of North San Pedro Street @ Ryland Street. Police were notified.

There have been two (2) home invasions and three (3) burglaries of late in my neighborhood.
