    PRESERVATION ACTION COUNCIL OF SAN JOSE Dedicated to Preserving San Jose’s Architectural Heritage March 20, 2020 Transmitted via e-mail Juliet Arroyo Historic Preservation Officer City of San Jose 200 E Santa Clara Street San Jose CA 95113 César Pelli designed 1971 Bank of California Building Dear Ms. Arroyo, On behalf of the citizens of San Jose, Preservation Action Council of San Jose submits the attached Historic Nomination Form (with form attachments) prepared for the benefit of staff. We request that you agendize for your April 1, 2020 meeting a public hearing for consideration of nomination of the Bank of California building as a City Landmark. This building, located at 170 Park Avenue is historically significant due to its association with master architect César Pelli, and with a key development period in San Jose. While there are other buildings that hold historic significance in the development footprint and although just shy of 50 years old, this building stands out and should be a landmark. It is the only example of Pelli’s personal body of work in San Jose. In addition, the building may be eligible for the National Register of Historic Places. I attach a letter of support from DOCOMOMO NOCA. The letter indicates that this building is significant not only to San Jose, but regionally, and as part of a worldwide effort to bring appreciation to Brutalist architecture. Sincerely, History Park, 1650 Senter Road, San Jose, CA. 95112 www.preservation.org • Tel: (408) 998-8105 • [email protected] PACSJ is a 501 (c) 3 non-profit organization.

  • San Jose Moves Forward with Proposal to Be First City in Us to Develop
    Press Release Office of Economic Development FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE SAN JOSE MOVES FORWARD WITH PROPOSAL TO BE FIRST CITY IN U.S. TO DEVELOP ORGANICS‐TO‐ENERGY BIOGAS FACILITY Large scale production of renewable energy to further San Jose Green Vision goals, grow innovation and create jobs SAN JOSE, CALIF., June 17, 2009—The San Jose City Council has moved San Jose closer to becoming 100 percent energy independent by authorizing the City Manager to negotiate and execute a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to develop guidelines and potential lease terms for the development of an organics‐to‐energy biogas facility on a 40‐acre site near the San Jose/Santa Clara Water Pollution Control Plant. The biogas facility is planned to be constructed and operated by Zanker Road Biogas. The MOU would set forth the guidelines and workplan for the potential lease terms of a biogas project. If the negotiations for the MOU are successful, the City of San Jose would issue the lease to Zero Waste Energy Development Company, Inc., a partnership between GreenWaste Recovery and their sister company, Zanker Road Resource Management. For this project, GreenWaste would partner with Harvest Power, Inc.—a company funded in part by Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers that provides industry leading technology and project development capability to harness the renewable energy in organic waste. The proposed facility would be the first in United States, pending development of lease terms and the necessary regulatory and environmental approvals, as well as approval of the City’s partners in the Water Pollution Control Plant. The facility could take in up to 150,000 tons of organic waste per year to process and produce energy—from waste what would have been destined for a landfill.

  • Leading the Way a PHILOSOPHY - in PROGRESS
    1 “The direction in which education starts a man will determine his future life.” —Plato 2 Leading the Way A PHILOSOPHY - IN PROGRESS [ INTRODUCTION \ he doors of our first school opened in 1968 because of the desire to experience firsthand Tthe marvelous thrills and excitement in the world of children. When we began, we had no idea of how our programs would evolve. Our intention was to meet the growing needs of families by integrating daycare and preschool into one program, something that seemed a bit radical back then. Today, with 10 locations and 19 programs, we are the only organization in Northern California providing private education and daycare for children from six weeks to 12 years of age. Of interest to us as founders is the tremendous amount of learning that goes on each year in young children. It has always been exciting for John and I to see all the important loving and guiding experiences of infancy incorporated into the children’s development. We believe we have an opportunity to influence much of what will happen to children as they go through elementary school, junior high school and on into adult life. It also is a real challenge to our staff to provide an environment that will encourage maximum development for children, as positive experiences during the early years lead to much greater success in the future. Through the years, we have faced many challenges. In the beginning, just getting the first school ready to open was quite an endeavor. Inspired by our vision of creating a unique and nurturing place for learning, we rolled up our sleeves and did whatever we could ourselves, disregarding the fact that we had no prior experience in many of the tasks we were about to undertake.

As office holders and social lobbyists, these women directly transformed the political and social fabric of society. Some of these women played a key role as the first recognized political figures in the region, while others worked to document and write about the female experience and built academic programs around feminism and women’s history. Others worked as activists and lobbyists for a variety of causes including the Equal Rights Amendment, the environment, women’s legal rights, and pay equity.
