“Yeah, I want to follow up with a couple things. And I'm sorry, you guys, I know it's late. But unfortunately, with the events of last week, this is the first opportunity we have had to kind of come back and revisit some of the comments and give some clarity to those comments. So for the record, to the contrary of what's being circulated, the ABS project was not a bad project at all. In fact, it was structured exactly like the Chevron project that the city previously executed and was presented to me by staff in that context with the same sentiment. I myself have all of this documented in…”

“Second serious allegations. have been made publicly suggesting that this project was detrimental to the city and that council members engaged in improper conduct related to it. I'm even seeing allegations of backdoor deals. To your knowledge, has the city received any tangible evidence from anyone sustaining those allegations? Again, no, I'm not aware of any specific evidence that would support those allegations having and I have not independently investigated any of those allegations myself and finally to your knowledge has the city made any formal findings that this council or Any…”

“So I think what has been established is an important distinction between and needs to be on the public record that allegations and opinions have been made, but the city has no formal findings substantiating them. So with that said, I am formally requesting that the city makes a distinction clear to the public and promptly. I would like a factual clarification be published on the city's website, social medias, and provided to the Patterson Arrogator immediately. The public is absolutely entitled to disagree with this council and criticize our decisions, but the public also deserves to know the…”

“I mean, I think we'd have to- I would definitely get an estimate.”

“I actually had a question okay. So on 6.6, there's obviously some questions. So my question to legal is, could we potentially approve the street closure, but then revisit the cost?”

“I don't want to impede on their event, though.”

“Okay. Okay. So would it interrupt their event?”

“I think the concern is if we accept the minutes as written and there is an issue with this consent issue, is it going to impede anything?”

“I'm fine with that as long as we are looking into the concern. Yes. Perfect.”

“So I know that we, in the past, have not charged for this event. And that I know that we updated fees. I understand all of that. My concern is that when it comes to the schools, I feel like we should do better at collaborating. So what I would like to know is, I know this is based off a fee schedule, I'd like to know what our actual cost is for this and see if there's any way we can collaborate in a better fashion with them. So I don't know if this is, like I said, I don't want it to, impose on their event. But I think that there's a little bit of work that we can look into.”

“Okay. So if this is actual cost, when did we stop wavering it and start charging for it?”

“I FEEL THAT, AGAIN, WE COULD COLLABORATE ON ITEMS OF THIS MATTER. WE CAN COME UP WITH SOMETHING THAT IS, YOU KNOW, IF IT'S MAYBE SPLITTING THE COSTS WITH THEM OR BEING CREATIVE giving the students some support. That's why I was hoping we could pull it and kind of have a discussion on what could be fair and reasonable. I want to be mindful of we're not just going to waive everything all the time, but having the conversation of how can we participate in this event. So that's why I was hoping to pull it and have the conversation offline to see where we could cut some costs here. Is that an…”

“I think it's going to take some more discussion. So is there a way to table this, the fees? Can we table the fees for now until we have a discussion, but allow the event to proceed?”
City Council · Sep 15, 2026
- Play at 1:04:20
“So if I pull it strictly for fees, they're still going to know that it's approved. They're still going to be able to proceed. We just need to get it back on next meeting to make sure it's documented, correct? Yes. OK, then I'd like to do that.”

“I'M OKAY WITH MOVING FORWARD AS LONG AS WE ARE MAKING SURE THAT WE ARE DISCUSSING THIS AND LOOKING AT EITHER SOME SORT OF COLLABORATION. AGAIN, BEING MINDFUL OF THE COSTS THAT IT TAKES, BUT I THINK THAT FOR SOMETHING LIKE THIS, IT'S AN ANNUAL EVENT THAT'S VERY IMPORTANT TO OUR CITY. SO I WANT TO MAKE SURE WE TALK ABOUT IT. OKAY.”

“Okay, I'm going to say it again. I'm okay with moving forward, but we are going to immediately have a discussion about seeing how we can collaborate. Okay. Yes, I'm okay with that. Okay.”

“So, great job. I think we're definitely moving in the right direction. One thing I'd like to just be mindful of is the verbiage we're using with research and when we eventually write the standards. This marketplace is evolving quicker than we think. Not putting us in a box of just calling it data centers You know the large energy use projects resource intensive usages high resource demands all of those words are going to catch up with us eventually so if we can maybe look there as well I Agree, and that's where the city of San Jose's process will be I think really insightful and helpful in…”

“I have a question. Are we done, Brian, with the presentation?”
City Council · Sep 15, 2026

“So then let me comment really quick on which concerns should staff prioritize. So I am going to speak for myself and say that I want you to tell me what I'm supposed to prioritize. So when you're doing the research, you tell me what's the highest priorities of the impacts, and then I'll tell you back what kind of is my priority. But until we get that data from you, it's hard to even give you that direction. Tell me how we're supposed to mitigate it. Tell me the risks and everything that we're supposed to be looking at. This is our chance to create policy for decades. So I want you to tell me…”

“So there's a couple things. I think that part of Brian's research should be what the risks are when it comes to a ballot measure because just because we voted in doesn't shield us from litigation. So that needs to be very clear on what that would look like if we did that. And that would be up to the voters. But they would at least be educated on what that would look like. I think a hybrid on the participation would be wonderful. TOWN HALLS ARE ALWAYS BEGGED FOR, PRETTY MUCH. EVERYONE LOVES TO PARTICIPATE IN THE TOWN HALLS. I DO LIKE THE AD HOC COMMITTEE. I DON'T HATE THAT. AND THEN OBVIOUSLY…”

“So there has been multiple meetings that we have had with HR and Council regarding this issue that Council Member Jack has not been here for. So as it might seem easy to just take one out and plop another one in, it's not the case. We want to be fair and reasonable to all parties. And there's a lot of meetings that she has not been a part of that's very important in making any determination. So as the timing is not ideal, that we are in an election that does not take away from doing the right thing and following the policy. So unfortunately, this is the situation we're in. And therefore,…”
