First General Meeting of 2020

Posted on by Greg Peck

Hello, Neighbors. 

Our first meeting of 2020 is next week, Thursday, 7:00 p.m. Again, we are holding the meeting in the gym building of the Los Paseos Elementary School – a close walk-to place, or a quick drive-to place. Check our meeting agenda, with lots of new information for you!

  • An update from SJPD on current Crime Stats in our neighborhoods
  • An update on the CALMS camera project – discuss the good, accumulative effectiveness of the program so far
  • An update from District 2 Office on upcoming events, completed projects, plans for the future
  • San Jose’s Environmental Services Department – residential recycling.  Recycling markets have changed, prompting questions and some confusion around current practices. The presentation covers how to recycle properly, new tips and information, and how San José is responding to global shifts in recycling markets, particularly China’s National Sword policy, which restricts imports of certain recyclables.  
    • What goes where… Bring items of which you have questions

For those unable to attend the our meeting, please feel free to view the recorded session below. Still ironing out the bugs to the process, and definitely need to remember to detach the monitoring headset when stepping away from the camera, or else everything tends to follow you around, literally. 😀 So apologies for that mishap, but otherwise, the recording is presentable. The audio was not cleanly processed as I like, but due to time constraints to make this information available prior to the 12/12 City Council meeting, it will have to do.
