phone?
21
00:00:44.840 --> 00:00:45.650
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): volume.
22
00:00:48.450 --> 00:00:49.040
Quinlan Conference Room: So…
23
00:00:49.630 --> 00:00:50.950
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): Okay.
24
00:00:57.120 --> 00:00:59.849
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): Anyone in person, or everyone?
25
00:01:00.370 --> 00:01:02.070
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): Not from there, let's see.
26
00:01:03.280 --> 00:01:04.959
Quinlan Conference Room: Something to echo?
27
00:01:06.300 --> 00:01:08.629
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): Still wearing a tale.
28
00:01:10.200 --> 00:01:10.869
Quinlan Conference Room: That's not correct.
29
00:01:12.170 --> 00:01:12.990
Quinlan Conference Room: Yeah.
30
00:01:12.990 --> 00:01:14.589
Naidu Bollineni, Item #3: in my voice.
31
00:01:16.680 --> 00:01:19.099
Quinlan Conference Room: Sounds like a cheer machine.
32
00:01:20.000 --> 00:01:21.470
Quinlan Conference Room: So, picture?
33
00:01:21.730 --> 00:01:24.950
Quinlan Conference Room: I don't hear it go. Okay, good. Thank you.
34
00:01:25.180 --> 00:01:25.780
Quinlan Conference Room: No, I…
35
00:01:30.156 --> 00:01:31.555
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): Then we have that.
36
00:01:33.326 --> 00:01:38.045
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): Approval of the minutes, right?
Written communications? No, approval of the minutes.
37
00:01:40.435 --> 00:01:44.515
Quinlan Conference Room: to the… Approve the minutes.
38
00:01:47.240 --> 00:01:48.230
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): mentored.
39
00:01:49.960 --> 00:01:51.890
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): You may give me suicide. Yeah.
40
00:01:54.210 --> 00:01:56.559
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): Okay, this is moved. Okay.
41
00:01:58.300 --> 00:01:59.320
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): Total.
42
00:02:01.150 --> 00:02:02.350
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): Commissioner Dante?
43
00:02:02.450 --> 00:02:03.420
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): Approve.
44
00:02:03.720 --> 00:02:05.060
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): Commissioner Gard?
45
00:02:05.250 --> 00:02:15.389
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): Approved. Commissioner Shearan is
absent. Vice Chair Kumar is absent. Chair Molante? Approved. The motion
carries unanimously.
46
00:02:28.700 --> 00:02:31.969
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): Yeah, lower hopes is nice.
47
00:02:34.030 --> 00:02:38.149
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): We have no speakers for oral
communications. Okay.
48
00:02:41.010 --> 00:02:44.360
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): So, next one, new business
presentation.
49
00:02:45.280 --> 00:02:48.300
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): from CTC's Civic Technology
Platform.
50
00:03:03.120 --> 00:03:05.300
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): Just a second down.
51
00:03:05.560 --> 00:03:10.440
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): what's the background on this? Is
this something that we are looking at, or…
52
00:03:10.560 --> 00:03:12.859
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): For filling it out. Yeah, they have.
53
00:03:13.534 --> 00:03:14.134
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): So…
54
00:03:14.810 --> 00:03:16.040
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): Give out some…
55
00:03:16.210 --> 00:03:26.170
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): modules for, cities, city
governments to utilize. On the name, they are mostly to support city
governments.
56
00:03:26.470 --> 00:03:32.730
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): So these are two, demos of AI tools
that, Chair.
57
00:03:32.730 --> 00:03:37.170
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): as set up… Okay. For us to evaluate.
58
00:03:38.680 --> 00:03:44.960
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): Okay, good evening, everyone. Thank
you so much, and it's an honor to present in front of an audience like
this.
59
00:03:45.525 --> 00:03:58.195
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): My name is Nima. I'm Yishan. And, we
are CitySights. In the next 20 minutes or so, you're going to learn a lot
more, and get a lot more clarity on what CitySights does, and how it's
useful for the cities.
60
00:03:58.295 --> 00:04:12.245
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): So, let's begin. Every year, city
governments, local governments, and civic organizations spend around $2
to $3 billion on getting the right kind of data.
61
00:04:12.345 --> 00:04:28.924
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): And the two main prominent
organizations which are related to cities, which is the GFAO and the
ICMA, which is the Government Financial Services Organization, Officers
Organization, and the International City Managers Association.
62
00:04:28.925 --> 00:04:35.495
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): They actually identify the fact that
there is an explosion of data, and
63
00:04:35.495 --> 00:04:47.175
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): And, information as one of the
leading causes of… for cities to, have budget discrepancies, overrun
budgets, and have budget pressures.
64
00:04:47.175 --> 00:05:04.235
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): So, and that's mainly because, based
on their research, they have identified that a lot of city staff and city
leadership spend hours and months looking for the right amount of data
and downloading it, curating it, finding the right…
65
00:05:04.235 --> 00:05:11.435
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): Analytics and metrics so that they
can use for decision-based, Decision-based, or decision-making.
66
00:05:11.485 --> 00:05:30.315
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): And, so… and that's how the budget
gets overrun. But where does that leave the residents? And, you know,
they're wondering where their tax dollars are gone. So, we're not here to
complain, but then we have a solution. We have CitySights, which is an
AI-powered, deep domain expertise.
67
00:05:30.365 --> 00:05:43.405
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): Which curates and finds all the
terabytes of messy city-related data and curates it and, delivers it in a
matter of minutes, what normally would take months.
68
00:05:43.405 --> 00:06:00.925
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): Just because we have a proprietary
algorithm at the background that is running, and then we make sure that
the data that we get is of different sources, but all of them synthesized
and curated at the same time. So we deliver what would take months, we
will deliver in minutes.
69
00:06:00.985 --> 00:06:06.934
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): So what results is, you know, cost
efficiencies, what results is,
70
00:06:07.315 --> 00:06:26.985
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): Operational efficiencies, and the
real-time dashboards are amazing because it tells residents exactly what
the city is up to, and resulting in unprecedented transparency, and which
really builds that trust between the governments and the residents that
it serves.
71
00:06:26.985 --> 00:06:37.344
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): So, we're not just a report that
collects dust. We are, an organization with an AI… writing an AI layer,
which
72
00:06:37.345 --> 00:06:54.905
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): the cities can use to make smarter
decisions, you know, using technology that they're already aware of. So
I'm excited to show you what city sites can do and make it real, starting
in California and scaling it nationwide. So let's begin.
73
00:07:00.245 --> 00:07:02.455
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): So, all our mission is
74
00:07:02.465 --> 00:07:24.995
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): to curate very complex data that is
related. So, for example, the census data, the EPA data, the AQI data,
public safety data, political data. We take a lot of disparate sets of
data, terabytes and terabytes of it, and then we synthesize that, and we
provide meaningful metrics and analytics in a matter of minutes.
75
00:07:24.995 --> 00:07:27.575
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): And so, again, you know, it… it…
76
00:07:27.575 --> 00:07:31.315
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): It's resulting in operational and
fiscal efficiencies.
77
00:07:31.315 --> 00:07:45.245
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): And we can put a number to it. We,
you know, based on our research and the white paper that we have
produced, we feel that it is, and we have seen it, that it really saves
about 20% of the outsourcing costs. And if
78
00:07:45.265 --> 00:07:59.585
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): It is a matter of, in-house
production of any kind of data. We would save about 20% of internal
resource costs and productivity. Increasing productivity were almost 50%.
79
00:08:02.875 --> 00:08:08.735
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): So let's look at the… that was at a
higher level, let's look at a little more closer level. So.
80
00:08:09.075 --> 00:08:18.175
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): Here we are having all kinds of
fragmented data systems, which caused the budget pressures according to
the GFAO and the ICMA.
81
00:08:19.935 --> 00:08:36.305
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): leading to budget deficits, and
either one of the two things happen. You either go into, you know,
consulting mode, and that's how you spend two to three billion dollars
per year, or you are overloading and work… overloading your internal
staff, so…
82
00:08:36.405 --> 00:08:49.955
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): what happens when you use city sites
is that the algorithm that uses domain expertise, you know, when we're
talking domain expertise, we're talking urban planning, we're talking
finance, we're talking
83
00:08:49.955 --> 00:09:00.525
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): AI, we're talking data science, you
know, we're using all these domain expertise to come up with proprietary
models and proprietary algorithms.
84
00:09:00.575 --> 00:09:20.054
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): Make sure that we're not using any
sensitive data, because cities have sensitive data, the staff data, the
resident data, we don't touch any of that. And we also do not introduce
any kind of bias into our algorithm and the models, so we can be rest
assured that it is, it's very cautious.
85
00:09:20.055 --> 00:09:32.604
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): I do have that small clip at the
bottom, which is basically a white paper from the GFAO and the ICMA,
which details, what I've been saying, which is.
86
00:09:32.605 --> 00:09:45.185
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): You know, the reason for… one of the
main reasons for budget deficits and budget overruns is the fact that
data is very difficult to process for the meaningful decision-making.
87
00:09:45.185 --> 00:09:53.625
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): So, the future with city sites is
good because, you know, we are giving you something that would increase
your productivity, decreasing your costs.
88
00:09:53.625 --> 00:10:05.674
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): And at the end of the day, we're
saving hundreds and thousands of dollars for each city, depending on what
kind of work they're involved in.
89
00:10:10.235 --> 00:10:13.244
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): So, this is the slide I want to
spend some time, because
90
00:10:13.405 --> 00:10:31.605
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): On the third column, you see the
strategic vision framework, which is adopted by City of Cupertino. So
what I want to tie over here is what are all our products, what kind of
value it brings, but what exactly… which strategic initiative from
Cupertino that it relates to, and how can you actually use it?
91
00:10:31.605 --> 00:10:38.965
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): So, one of our, is it getting cut
off? So,
92
00:10:39.005 --> 00:10:52.494
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): The first one, the placemaking and
the community investment tracker that we have. Now, urban planners will
tell you very quickly what placemaking is. It's basically all the
investment that the city has that makes
93
00:10:52.495 --> 00:11:03.294
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): a city more livable, more enjoyable,
and attracts more residents and businesses alike. So, what are the
investment dollars? So, you know, for example, parks, trails.
94
00:11:03.295 --> 00:11:16.814
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): events that the community gets to
engage more in. And public safety. So these are all the investments that
go directly to placemaking. It's also sometimes called, generally,
beautification of the city.
95
00:11:16.815 --> 00:11:28.094
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): So, we're having a, you know, a
placemaking and a community investment tracker, which you will see down,
you know, just in a few slides below, which I'll just want to get to you.
And so, it…
96
00:11:28.755 --> 00:11:44.055
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): basically promotes, community
engagement, and then it also is a huge factor in creating vibrant
neighborhoods. And what does it really to do, according to your strategic
vision? It also, you know, one of your big
97
00:11:44.055 --> 00:11:57.714
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): initiatives is public engagement,
resident engagement. So that would really enhance under, you know, the
tracker when, when people can see what kind of investment Cupertino is
making.
98
00:11:57.715 --> 00:12:13.074
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): And you can see, you know, once we
show you that Cupertino is really doing pretty good compared to the other
cities. So where can you use it? You can use it… you can use this tracker
on your website. You can use it for discussions with, you know, possible,
99
00:12:13.185 --> 00:12:33.364
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): businesses that want to move, and
they're looking… a pizza is a pizza franchisee who's looking to expand,
and considering maybe Cupertino, and considering Sunnyvale, or
considering, you know, the neighboring cities, and then, you know, once
you can show them, hey, this is the investment we're making, this is the
investment we're making in the community, and we have
100
00:12:33.365 --> 00:12:43.474
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): a higher potential for your business
to grow, and so these are the edge that… this is the edge that you can
use, in these kind of, situations.
101
00:12:43.475 --> 00:13:00.194
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): In, you know, councils like this,
and in planning councils, when you have a lot more residents come in, so
you can show them that this is what we're investing in, which will
actually, you know, increase their trust in the government. So the next
one is the RIT&A and affordable housing damage.
102
00:13:00.195 --> 00:13:04.864
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): So we can see that, because the
products… Yeah, they wanted to see the left column, leftmost column.
103
00:13:05.515 --> 00:13:10.475
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): Or, sort of shrink it and make it,
like, 90% or something.
104
00:13:14.515 --> 00:13:16.495
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): Okay, just cut up this one.
105
00:13:17.160 --> 00:13:20.710
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): Let's not do it this way, but go
ahead. So, this is better?
106
00:13:21.370 --> 00:13:46.230
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): Yeah. Okay, so, we have RHNA and
affordable housing. So, one of the, again, a key part of the strategic
vision framework is having balanced housing. So, what the RHNA, does is
it gives you details about what kind of housing that you have, and the
mix, you know, how many are renting, how many are owning, what kind of,
you know, the
107
00:13:46.230 --> 00:13:47.340
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): the…
108
00:13:48.300 --> 00:14:06.300
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): people's income, so then you can
identify the gaps. And if you are trying to have more affordable housing,
that's a way to make a case to the public, saying, this is how many
affordable housing units that you would want. And it's a real-time
dashboard, because anytime you are having, any, updates.
109
00:14:06.300 --> 00:14:09.679
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): we would be able to update it. So
based on, you know, how,
110
00:14:10.320 --> 00:14:12.989
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): First one is called what?
Placemaking and Community English?
111
00:14:12.995 --> 00:14:16.285
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): Placemaking and community
investment. Please.
112
00:14:16.305 --> 00:14:24.345
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): Yeah, so, yeah, so this would be
something that is very key to Cupertino's strategic in, in, in,
113
00:14:24.345 --> 00:14:49.315
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): initiatives, and also addressing
homelessness, so we can clearly look at the census data in this case and
find out, you know, where are, you know, what is the population, what is
your floating population, how do you address the homelessness? So all
this data is available to you, and so then it will help you make the
real-time decisions and faster decisions. So the, the next one is the
budget tracker and benchmarking.
114
00:14:49.315 --> 00:14:59.285
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): This is something that'll be very
valuable to all the departments in the city, so that they have, goes
right to the GFAO and the ICMA,
115
00:14:59.395 --> 00:15:16.985
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): best practices when they say that,
you know, having that and continuously monitoring that would help you
maybe not have the budget overruns to that extent, because you are
constantly knowing, you know, where you are, what is your run rate, how
much more do you have in your account.
116
00:15:17.125 --> 00:15:36.804
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): budget that you're… that left,
rather than operate in the dark. So, that is something that, you know,
everyone can use in all the departments, and then if you use it on the
city website, that will give you an additional layer of transparency to
the residents, knowing exactly where their dollars are being spent.
117
00:15:36.875 --> 00:15:59.254
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): So, the fourth one is, is a custom,
our flagship product, which is the CitySights AI agent, we call it the
City Bird, knowing everything. And, so that, what you… you can ask any
question to City Bird, and then it will, you know, it will synthesize
the, the answer and give it to you, and it's very custom-made.
118
00:15:59.255 --> 00:16:00.735
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): made for cities.
119
00:16:00.735 --> 00:16:15.304
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): And it's not the same as you'd ask
JackGPT or Claude, or Brock, because they are looking at worldwide data,
but here we have data which we have very, very specifically taken and
synthesized, so this agent is
120
00:16:15.305 --> 00:16:31.355
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): only referring to that data, so it
gives you more, meaningful data. So, I will transfer this over to Isha,
and he will actually show you some of the functionalities. Yeah, perfect.
So, as Nima was saying, we have here is our dashboard.
121
00:16:31.360 --> 00:16:55.629
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conference Room): and we have some KPIs at the glance
for you. So the first thing we have here is our city sign score, which
shows that TNO is actually in the top 88% of schools in the entire
country, as well as right next to it. We have the placemaking investment,
which we calculate to be around $660 per resident. And you might be
wondering, like, what goes into calculating that score? Yeah. Can you
zoom in?
122
00:16:55.630 --> 00:16:57.610
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conference Room): Oh… Yeah.
123
00:16:57.610 --> 00:17:01.500
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conference Room): Presentation mode, try that. It's
better now.
124
00:17:01.680 --> 00:17:02.650
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conference Room): It is.
125
00:17:02.810 --> 00:17:03.650
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conference Room): Yeah.
126
00:17:04.290 --> 00:17:14.079
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conference Room): Yeah, you guys might be wondering
what goes into that, and it's a multitude of things, such as public
safety, schooling, community development, parks, and so forth.
127
00:17:14.079 --> 00:17:26.480
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conference Room): And then which leads me into the
next thing, the Climate Action Plan, which is similar to the placemaking
investment in that it uses the parks, the community development, as well
as climate programs in order to get a number of you guys.
128
00:17:26.480 --> 00:17:34.150
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conference Room): And then finally, we'll be into
financial health, which takes your budget data and compares it to cities
all across the nation. You'll be able to see and benchmark it.
129
00:17:34.150 --> 00:17:39.689
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conference Room): Comparatively to those other cities,
and as you can see, Christina actually performs quite well in that.
130
00:17:39.800 --> 00:17:55.270
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conference Room): Congratulations again. The next
thing you guys have is AI Budget Agent, and so instead of sifting through
hundreds of pages of PDFs, scrolling in to see the thousands of lines of
Excel sheets, you can type to this agent in plain English, and it will
come back with,
131
00:17:55.640 --> 00:17:57.589
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conference Room): Whatever response you can get.
132
00:17:57.730 --> 00:17:59.820
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conference Room): And furthermore, we had…
133
00:17:59.960 --> 00:18:12.599
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conference Room): taken metrics from many public data
sources, and we have bucketized it for your convenience. And the buckets
would be economic, environmental, social, and political. And we have many
more metrics to show, but
134
00:18:12.600 --> 00:18:28.340
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conference Room): talking with city managers and other
city leaders, they liked having these specific metrics on there, but once
again, a dashboard for City Insights, it's all custom-made and tailor-
made, so whatever you want at your discretion can be uploaded to the
dashboard.
135
00:18:28.760 --> 00:18:29.710
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conference Room): No.
136
00:18:29.710 --> 00:18:52.280
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conference Room): For benchmarking, another feature is
that we can do peer comparisons. So in case you're wondering how another
city similar to Cupertino was doing, so in this case, San Ramon, you can
see it in a head-to-head version, like, where there might be
discrepancies, what they're doing better, what you're doing better, and
you can see just where the differences lie, and maybe implement them into
your next fiscal year.
137
00:18:53.670 --> 00:19:08.480
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conference Room): The next thing we do is brand
matching. So, with our AI agent, you're able to query a multitude of
things, especially with planning initiatives. And especially with, budget
overspending, brand matching comes in handy
138
00:19:08.480 --> 00:19:17.870
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conference Room): It's very helpful because, in case
you need some extra money, instead of spending man hour just looking for
relevant grants, we give it to you instantaneously. And so, just…
139
00:19:18.590 --> 00:19:27.239
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): Normally, I mean, just… just a
small… I used to help with brand applications with my previous job, and I
know it takes
140
00:19:27.450 --> 00:19:38.320
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): weeks and months to find, you know,
the right ground, because there is so much information out there, and we
can give it to you in minutes. They're saving weeks and weeks of work.
141
00:19:38.800 --> 00:19:57.389
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conference Room): Furthermore, on the resident side,
it gives you a city site's placemat score, and as you can see, for
residents and small businesses, it's in the top 89th percentile, which is
very attractive to future residents and future businesses wanting to come
into Cupertino and start a life gear or a business.
142
00:19:58.050 --> 00:20:01.070
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conference Room): Next, there is the RHNA real-time
dashboard.
143
00:20:01.120 --> 00:20:20.609
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conference Room): as Nima was saying, let's use, see
into projects, as well as very low income, above moderate, and it gives
you data on all these housing units. So you can see just how many owner-
occupied units you have, the vacancy rate, your annual tax per home,
things of that sort of nature.
144
00:20:22.080 --> 00:20:30.799
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conference Room): And then finally, we're going into
the budget tracker. Now, looking through hundreds and hundreds of pages
of PDFs, it can get kind of tedious looking.
145
00:20:30.800 --> 00:20:45.980
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conference Room): or trying to sift through and see
just what exactly each overall department has, but this gives it to you
right in a clean, nice table. You can not only see the overall budget,
but the budgets of every department, as well as the effective run rates.
146
00:20:46.310 --> 00:21:01.449
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conference Room): And not only that, going back to
peer benchmarking, not only can you peer benchmark versus a singular
city, we can peer benchmark versus all the cities in our database, but
specifically for cities that fit not only your budget, but your similar
size, too.
147
00:21:01.450 --> 00:21:08.530
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conference Room): So, stacking up for Tino versus the
top 75 percentiles, see that Tino actually does very well against them.
148
00:21:08.535 --> 00:21:23.815
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): used thousands of cities all over
the U.S. to come up with this peer-city combination, so you're making
sure that when you're comparing Cupertino, you're copying… you're
comparing almost apples to apples, and
149
00:21:23.925 --> 00:21:34.004
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): Where does it stack up? And so, as
you can see, anything in the green, you're doing much better than,
something… a city which is
150
00:21:34.005 --> 00:21:57.035
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): almost like a, you know, the golden
city, if you will, compared, you know, which is computed from thousands
of cities all over the U.S, and some places, I think, are doing, not so
great. But this is something that, you know, city managers and city
leadership can go see, look, and say, and start wondering, you know, if
there's something that they need to be rectifying.
151
00:21:57.035 --> 00:22:10.184
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): So you're not working in the dark,
and then, you know, you're making informed decisions as to where we need
to be working a little more, and where you can back off a little more. So
it'll help you focus on the right kind of resources.
152
00:22:11.555 --> 00:22:15.005
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): So, this is an example of,
153
00:22:15.005 --> 00:22:32.334
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): what our AI agent can do, and I just
wanted to give you an example, because, I think the City of Dublin had an
initiative for… from the public safety side, that they wanted to use AI
PRs and sitcams all over the city to improve public safety, so that
154
00:22:32.335 --> 00:22:36.995
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): that project, I mean, this is all
information that I've got from,
155
00:22:37.005 --> 00:22:57.924
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): the internet, and it's not from…
exclusively from the city, but I think it's public information. So, I
think the, you know, the main project started off in 2024, and then
implementation was sometime in 2025. They're still extending it, but the
fun part is what I wanted to dwell on, because
156
00:22:58.415 --> 00:23:11.714
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): almost, for 9 months in 2024 is what
they took to come up with, how many sitcoms that they need, and how many
ALPRs they need in the city, and where they need to be placed.
157
00:23:11.715 --> 00:23:22.015
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): So that's 9 months for you, almost 9
months for you. So the same thing, we queried with city sites, and in 3
minutes, we got an answer, which is pretty close to what they ended up
158
00:23:22.035 --> 00:23:32.285
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): having and deploying with… and then
they spent around $3 million for that project. So we would have
definitely saved them about 20 to 20…
159
00:23:32.285 --> 00:23:54.654
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): actually more, because it's almost
30-40% of the time that we could have saved, where they could have
started off at a higher level and said, okay, this is where we can
actually give you also where to place them. So, a lot of the project
would have been done already, so when they hire their outside
consultants, they start off at a higher level and get a much lower cost.
160
00:23:54.655 --> 00:24:19.625
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): So that's the fun part. So we not
only give you the details of, like, what the, you know, the solution
would be, but then would also give you actionable plans, and also a
downloadable report that you can download, and then start working from
there. So instead of starting at level 0, you can start off at level 4 or
5. And so that's where the savings actually comes from, you know, savings
in productivity.
161
00:24:19.625 --> 00:24:24.805
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): Also, savings in cost of outsourcing
or internal resource costs.
162
00:24:27.225 --> 00:24:39.525
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): So, and I do want to emphasize on
the fact that, you know, we are having ethical AI. Because we're using
all publicly available data, there is absolutely no sensitive data we
touch.
163
00:24:39.525 --> 00:24:56.764
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): And we do not need IT integration,
because this is not something that, you know, we are using any of the
city's internal systems, so we don't need to integrate with the city IT.
And it's ethical, because we're not introducing any kind of bias.
164
00:24:56.765 --> 00:25:21.695
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): in our models or in our algorithms,
we don't introduce any kind of bias, so you can be assured that whatever
you're getting is truly something that you would have worked on for weeks
and months, and that we're just giving it to you faster because of the
fact that we are curating it with the help of AI. You know, we're not the
magicians here, AI is, and the fact that CD sites is possible today only
because we're using the power of
165
00:25:21.695 --> 00:25:28.054
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): But what we've added on as an extra
layer, of course, is the fact that, you know, the domain expertise
166
00:25:28.055 --> 00:25:41.315
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): and the proprietary algorithms. You
know, one advisor is sitting right here. He has about 300 patents in that
space. So, you know, he was advising us on what the innovative component
is.
167
00:25:41.315 --> 00:25:50.964
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): That can go into this. So that's the
whole magic potion there. And, so I just wanted to really emphasize on
this one.
168
00:25:52.135 --> 00:26:02.104
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): So the key takeaways, is, you know,
based on our research and white paper and, the research done by, you
know, the best practices.
169
00:26:02.105 --> 00:26:19.934
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): from many organizations, we very
comfortably say that we are able to deliver around 25% productivity in
terms of, like, either reducing costs or internal resource, you know,
taking the load off the internal staff.
170
00:26:19.935 --> 00:26:43.824
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): We are not saying that we do not
have to hire consultants, or we're not saying that the staff need to be
laid off, we're just saying we make their work easier. We take off the
drudgery. And so, even in terms of, like, outsourcing to consultants, we
give them… so starting at round zero, you start off at a much higher
level, thus saving consulting costs, or saving the city.
171
00:26:43.825 --> 00:26:48.204
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): Money, and then translates to
resident satisfaction automatically.
172
00:26:48.325 --> 00:27:06.344
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): So, and the whole thing is because
we can give you everything that is relevant in terms of metrics and data
and, grant information, budget tracking, and all these other good things
in a matter of minutes instead of months. So, thank you all so much for,
173
00:27:06.345 --> 00:27:30.785
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): you know, being our audience today,
that we could, you know, tell you more about CitySights. I deeply
appreciate this opportunity, and we would love to partner with the City
of Cupertino, so you can see firsthand, experience firsthand, and
leverage firsthand the… everything that City Sites has to offer. I also
want to especially thank Lindsay and Marilyn to have
174
00:27:30.785 --> 00:27:36.694
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): set this up. So, thank you, and
we're open for any kind of questions that you might have. Thank you.
175
00:27:37.785 --> 00:27:40.565
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): So, are you currently working with
cities now?
176
00:27:41.035 --> 00:27:52.465
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): We're… at this point, we just… 15
days ago is when we are all set and we're ready to, you know, send out
the pilots. So what we did, however, was work with a lot of cities.
177
00:27:52.465 --> 00:28:01.504
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): To get the voice of customer. So,
which means, like, you know, get their feedback, what is important, what
is not important, of everything which went into these products.
178
00:28:01.505 --> 00:28:18.454
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): So, we worked with a lot of cities
around the Bay Area. Mayors, vice mayors, council members, city managers,
financial directors, we worked with all of them. And yes, and everyone
was very excited about everybody. We had just started off, like,
implementing it.
179
00:28:18.460 --> 00:28:26.059
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): I'm curious, because you're not
using city data, you're using public data. Public data. So what public
data are you using?
180
00:28:26.435 --> 00:28:45.224
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): So, we… there's plenty of public
data, like, census data is one, which is, you know, huge that, you know,
every… it's the backbone of almost every city decision-making. We also
use EPA data, AQI data, we use, public safety data, we also use budget
data, which is public data for all the cities.
181
00:28:45.225 --> 00:28:51.304
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): So, to name a few, and then we have,
yeah, a few other datas. Yeah, I just.
182
00:28:51.310 --> 00:29:08.829
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): I mean, if we're going to put out
those kind of numbers and show Cupertino in a certain light, we would
need to know exactly where that data's coming from and how it's being
calculated. You know, your example of ALPRs, you know.
183
00:29:08.940 --> 00:29:21.460
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): there's a good analysis that goes
into those locations, and we have to do our due diligence to ensure that
we pick those locations, and again, that's the sheriff's office, so it's
not necessarily Cupertino, but I'm just saying.
184
00:29:21.550 --> 00:29:38.809
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): you couldn't just do an analysis and
say, okay, the AI said this, you know what I mean? Like, you would need
to have some good, details as far as exactly how that analysis was done,
what data went into it. I mean, that's… there's a lot of… of, factors
there that
185
00:29:38.810 --> 00:29:51.040
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): people aren't going to just rely on,
you know, an AI that, you know, has a magical, you know, answer. So I
just think that, yeah, you definitely need
186
00:29:51.050 --> 00:29:57.189
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): just a good understanding of what is
going into these tools. Absolutely, and that's another.
187
00:29:57.195 --> 00:29:58.024
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): really great point.
188
00:29:58.095 --> 00:30:23.084
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): So, I think the Dublin example was,
you know, to say that you start off at a higher level. So, you start off
with, you know, an analysis of, okay, we need 82 ALPRs, and we need 32
sitcoms, and these can be in this location. And then afterwards, you get
to take that, and then do your due diligence, and say, okay, is this, you
know, is this viable? Is this viable? So, you don't start off with, like.
189
00:30:23.085 --> 00:30:43.935
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): you know, a 9-month study as to,
like, oh, where do we need… so that's what I was trying to say, that you
start off at level 4 and 5, instead of at level 0, and that's where this
comes in, because it really speeds up the process by, by giving you that
kind of information. As far as, you know, the sources, we will always be
giving you the sources.
190
00:30:43.935 --> 00:30:51.195
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): As to where this, you know, where
are we getting this information from? So, it can be… So, yeah, I'll just…
191
00:30:51.195 --> 00:30:57.754
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): Data's so hard, right? I mean, we do
it all the time internally. We're building our own AI agents, and
192
00:30:58.255 --> 00:31:07.574
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): There's a lot of massaging that goes
into these data sets to make sure that you're getting a good, viable
answer that you can replicate in your
193
00:31:08.065 --> 00:31:17.555
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): it's just pulling in all of these
disparate systems, it would just be… I would just want to, you know, make
sure that we're getting
194
00:31:17.555 --> 00:31:28.624
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): valuable data, you know, like,
accurate, valuable data. I think that's… that's the key part, right, is
ensuring that whatever's going into it is actually
195
00:31:28.625 --> 00:31:34.564
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): And what we're seeing as a result on
these dashboards is, you know, giving us
196
00:31:35.195 --> 00:31:42.585
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): data we can rely on, and that we
could feel confident about saying that, you know… One of the things, Stu,
about.
197
00:31:42.585 --> 00:31:43.345
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): I haven't do fine.
198
00:31:43.345 --> 00:31:48.605
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conference Room): value sedation, for example, right?
So, income with AI, traditionally.
199
00:31:48.605 --> 00:32:06.525
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): hallucinations. So, one way to avoid
that is asking to do, retrieval augmented generation, where you have your
source of data which is multiple times curated, and you are only looking
from there and not from somewhere else that you are not.
200
00:32:06.655 --> 00:32:22.334
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): Right, so that's one way. The other
way that we have found to be quite useful is stream of card. So, if you
have a logic, you go through that logic, step by step, evaluating it, and
you can give the results. So you go…
201
00:32:22.335 --> 00:32:36.724
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): do some of these additional tricks
on top of massaging, obviously, massage the data as well, but still, the
logic needs to all well connected across, and all has to make sense.
Right. Right. Yes.
202
00:32:36.825 --> 00:32:37.355
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): And so…
203
00:32:37.355 --> 00:32:38.115
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): Yeah, that's…
204
00:32:38.115 --> 00:32:48.615
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): Transparent about it as well, so
that's the final thing that will convince you, show you the steps, how
things are delivered matters. Yeah, trust me.
205
00:32:48.615 --> 00:32:56.484
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): That's the part I would need to see.
I have a couple questions about that, too, because… sorry, I know I'm
late to the party.
206
00:32:56.490 --> 00:33:05.499
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conference Room): But it seems like ethical AI and
ethical AI, like, development and data sourcing is very important to you,
based on the bits that I caught at the end.
207
00:33:05.500 --> 00:33:26.170
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conference Room): But I also, and I'm sure you put
lots of work into it, I'm sure you can tell you're very proud of your,
your proprietary algorithms, all the stuff that you've put into it. But
you said a couple times that we make sure to completely eliminate bias by
only using the public data. How do you square that goal to eliminate
bias?
208
00:33:26.170 --> 00:33:36.559
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conference Room): With the introduction of, as you
said, massaging the data and proprietary algorithms that could
potentially introduce some of that data back, that bias back.
209
00:33:37.510 --> 00:33:39.659
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conference Room): So, yeah, so…
210
00:33:39.665 --> 00:33:57.725
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): Well, one of the… so this, comes in
the realm of, responsible AI, right? So the bias is, usually it creeps in
the system when you have a majority and a minority, and you train the
data on majority.
211
00:33:57.835 --> 00:34:06.804
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): You… even when you are doing the
curation, you only focus on the majority, because that's what you learn.
212
00:34:06.845 --> 00:34:21.385
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): In our scenario, we make sure that
the data is balanced. There are statistical tests that are done to ensure
that you have a balanced data, and based on those, the decisions are made
and answers.
213
00:34:21.505 --> 00:34:24.135
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): All the data that you throw in
there.
214
00:34:24.344 --> 00:34:32.894
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): Because, then my liabilities will
have no chance of succeeding in a scenario like that. Thank you.
215
00:34:32.895 --> 00:34:47.765
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conference Room): Yes, as you mentioned, in some of my
work, you… and there can… there's also underrepresentation in the data of
the minority compared to real life, because you get… you get that
statistical sampling bias, even…
216
00:34:47.764 --> 00:34:53.505
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conference Room): when we attempt to take all the data
as it would to theoretically…
217
00:34:53.514 --> 00:35:02.284
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): Yeah, you will turn into the
majority buyouts. Yeah. Whatever data will have that built-in.
218
00:35:02.544 --> 00:35:19.594
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): So, we take a lot of, effort to
balance the data. Data balancing is one of the critical ways you can,
especially when you are using things like that, you want to make sure
that it is seeing the balanced data.
219
00:35:20.230 --> 00:35:24.450
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conference Room): But I know, like, did you have a
couple statisticians working on the problem, presuming?
220
00:35:24.455 --> 00:35:31.995
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): I have sent the whole entire slide
set to, Lindsay. Okay, awesome. I'll go and wrap this. Yes.
221
00:35:31.995 --> 00:35:38.555
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): forward. So, with the city of Dublin
that we were working through their data also. Now.
222
00:35:38.715 --> 00:35:53.735
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): We worked with the City of Dublin
just to get their VOC, you know, what was important, what is not
important. We have not deployed our solution to the City of Dublin, and
this was in retrospect, you know, that, you know, I wanted to draw the
comparison.
223
00:35:53.735 --> 00:35:59.045
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): develop your proof of concept here.
Yes. Yeah, exactly.
224
00:35:59.405 --> 00:36:01.995
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): Did you deploy it anywhere? Oh, no,
we…
225
00:36:01.995 --> 00:36:23.014
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): just started, you know, like, we…
it's about 15 days since we've actually completed the product, the MVP,
and, you know, the pilot is ready to go, so we are just starting to talk
to a lot of cities to, you know, set up, and then, you know, just to, you
know, give the demonstration, and then see if we can get onto a pilot. So
that's… that's the…
226
00:36:23.205 --> 00:36:25.904
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): Answer all the questions that…
227
00:36:26.285 --> 00:36:32.735
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): Oh, sorry. What's your business
model? How do you… what's your licensing model?
228
00:36:32.735 --> 00:36:34.984
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): is a… is a subscription-based.
229
00:36:35.650 --> 00:36:39.620
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): subscription for the city as a
whole, or… For the CDC as a.
230
00:36:39.625 --> 00:36:40.825
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): the whole, yeah.
231
00:36:41.335 --> 00:36:48.005
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): Interesting. It, like, like… 100
licenses, or like, you know, 50 licenses. Is it by user, or…
232
00:36:48.005 --> 00:36:51.415
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conference Room): by city population size? Per user,
per user.
233
00:36:55.390 --> 00:37:03.420
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): But your data can… your application
can also get the appropriate data of the city and local site.
234
00:37:03.530 --> 00:37:11.690
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): your application can also, like,
suppose you are doing a trial with City of Copartinam can take the data
from Copartinam and
235
00:37:11.820 --> 00:37:16.099
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): Yeah, I mean, if you're.
236
00:37:16.105 --> 00:37:28.535
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): Referring to, like, something like
the budget tracker, where, you know, every department can upload their
own budget, so then it'll be a lot more, you know, you know, the run
rates are going to be a lot more real in that case.
237
00:37:28.535 --> 00:37:38.965
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): Because this is a general run rate
that we have, you know, a linear way that we have computed, because we
are not knowing exactly how much each department in Cupertino has spent
already.
238
00:37:38.965 --> 00:37:52.685
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): So, you know, they can… they'll be
having a way to upload their own budgets so that they are having that,
clarity as to, like, how much they've spent and how much… what is the one
rate left. We have all that in your website, right?
239
00:37:53.270 --> 00:37:55.009
Quinlan Conference Room: Yeah, the budget book's on the website.
240
00:37:56.180 --> 00:38:05.609
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): All the cities have the budgets on
the websites, yeah. But I don't know if you have a budget tracker or a…
not sure if you have a budget tracker. We do, yeah.
241
00:38:05.615 --> 00:38:13.645
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): Yeah, we have, online transparency
tools that allow you to go in and analyze the budget data. Like OpenGov,
but…
242
00:38:13.650 --> 00:38:20.519
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conference Room): OpenGov doesn't compare their data
to… it's only one city with OpenGov. Exactly, yes.
243
00:38:22.830 --> 00:38:25.859
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): Great questions, thank you so much.
Yes, thank you.
244
00:38:25.860 --> 00:38:26.740
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): Appreciate it.
245
00:38:26.940 --> 00:38:29.129
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): Oh, Chair, can we go to public
comment?
246
00:38:29.530 --> 00:38:31.310
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): Yeah, public comments.
247
00:38:31.490 --> 00:38:32.870
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): We have.
248
00:38:32.870 --> 00:38:34.270
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): No speakers, Chair.
249
00:38:37.000 --> 00:38:39.110
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): Please forward their presentation.
250
00:38:39.680 --> 00:38:42.790
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): People commission, yeah.
251
00:38:45.970 --> 00:38:48.860
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): Thank you very much. We appreciate
it.
252
00:38:48.865 --> 00:38:53.285
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): Thank you for tuning in yesterday.
Thanks so much. Thank you.
253
00:38:59.315 --> 00:39:00.954
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): Alright, so next step.
254
00:39:03.945 --> 00:39:05.535
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): 90's resolution.
255
00:39:08.875 --> 00:39:12.184
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): You're on. Yes. Yes. Yes.
256
00:39:12.185 --> 00:39:15.284
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): Definitely. Thank you so much again.
Thank you.
257
00:39:15.495 --> 00:39:18.174
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): Thank you for coming. Nice meeting
you.
258
00:39:19.040 --> 00:39:22.820
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): I be contacting, just in case…
Contact me. Okay. Yeah.
259
00:39:22.820 --> 00:39:30.099
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): But you have Marilyn's contact, so…
We do have Marilyn. Yeah, so we'll go through Marilyn. Yes, thank you.
Thank you so much.
260
00:39:30.270 --> 00:39:31.190
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): Excellent.
261
00:39:32.230 --> 00:39:32.970
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): Thank you.
262
00:39:39.930 --> 00:39:43.000
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): Thank you. Thank you, Sam.
263
00:39:46.710 --> 00:39:53.079
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conference Room): I look forward to seeing you. Take
care.
264
00:39:53.085 --> 00:39:55.324
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): Thank you for answering my
questions. Thank you.
265
00:39:55.325 --> 00:40:01.404
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conference Room): Thank you, Lucy.
266
00:40:10.585 --> 00:40:13.824
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conference Room): Thanks, everyone. Thanks for joining
me this afternoon.
267
00:40:13.830 --> 00:40:21.920
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): Everybody knows what I do. He was
commissioner. Well, I used to be a commissioner previously from 2020 to
2024 in this,
268
00:40:22.440 --> 00:40:26.599
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): Oh, I thought you looked familiar.
269
00:40:27.030 --> 00:40:29.219
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): So… So when I talk to my clinic.
270
00:40:29.220 --> 00:40:33.100
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): No, yeah, yeah, no, do I have all
the information, I don't need.
271
00:40:33.720 --> 00:40:45.169
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): So, I… I do have some bias, because
I am from Capitano, I've been living here for over 24 years, and my co-
founder, Karitha Gundi, is also a Capitano resident for over 2 decades.
272
00:40:45.870 --> 00:40:53.929
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): And, given that I have worked here,
I would like to continue contributing to the city, and whatever means,
and, whatever in my life that I do.
273
00:40:54.460 --> 00:40:59.879
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): So, as a co-founder and CTO of
Cyphus.
274
00:41:00.240 --> 00:41:06.169
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): My company is actually registered in
Sunnyvale, but, pretty much all the things happen here in the city.
275
00:41:06.730 --> 00:41:19.109
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): So, we would like to bring and
present and see, kind of where the innovation is happening, and what
could be a possibility for city to explore as we live and breathe, right?
276
00:41:19.380 --> 00:41:33.340
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): And pretty much like any government
or a commercial, we do consume the technologies, and we do consume
commercial technologies, and we continuously look at avenues to optimize
and do better.
277
00:41:33.700 --> 00:41:45.189
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): And, on the other hand, cities also
grapple with ongoing cost escalations and, budgetary constraints and,
ongoing struggles to how to meet other things.
278
00:41:45.360 --> 00:41:48.989
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): While, continuing to serve the
community, you know.
279
00:41:49.380 --> 00:41:53.520
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): So, I… as a… history…
280
00:41:53.590 --> 00:42:08.199
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): for myself, working in the
technology where I was a CIO on the CISO before, managing a startup, I
mean, IT and people technologies in small startups, as well as some
bigger companies.
281
00:42:08.220 --> 00:42:16.460
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): And also, co-founder, she worked in
a company where she managed large projects that are integrated.
282
00:42:16.680 --> 00:42:19.310
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): I mean, if you really look at, for
example.
283
00:42:19.810 --> 00:42:29.499
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): very, very mature technologies. The
companies have been there for about a couple of decades. They have
accumulated enough customers, they have matured enough.
284
00:42:29.690 --> 00:42:37.120
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): Still, if you really have to bring 4
or 5 different tools together and make them work, they don't necessarily
work.
285
00:42:37.350 --> 00:42:47.679
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): You end up building your own team of
a dozen people, spending a few million dollars, spending about an era or
two to actually get the value out of those tools.
286
00:42:47.810 --> 00:43:05.630
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): I mean, I typically compare these
things as, like, if it is a car company, if you're trying to buy a car,
you're basically getting a kind of a bare-bones car without having any
nice features, and you have to take it to your service center to make it
work. That's not how you buy the car, but the technology has been that.
287
00:43:05.630 --> 00:43:14.170
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): Like, typically, you buy a tool, and
you bring an implementation team, and the implementation team would spend
about months, actually.
288
00:43:14.200 --> 00:43:16.029
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): Making it work for you.
289
00:43:16.540 --> 00:43:23.849
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): Now, how is the… a… a… what you call
it, a finished product, right? We don't necessarily accept
290
00:43:23.970 --> 00:43:31.219
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): But that's how the technology has
it. And of course, you can challenge the premise and say technology
evolves so fast.
291
00:43:31.400 --> 00:43:33.780
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): And often, vendors actually
292
00:43:33.890 --> 00:43:46.669
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): deliver it half-baked, and then let
the partners and actually go and implement. And typically, what we have
seen, in my experience also, is that if you spend a dollar on the tool
itself.
293
00:43:46.780 --> 00:43:51.260
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): Who'd probably spend about $3 to $4
implement and actually get the value out of it.
294
00:43:51.890 --> 00:44:07.470
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): I mean, that's not typically how the
end products that we consume, right? So, with this kind of an experience,
we really wanted to flip the thing and say, when you buy a tool that
really is supposed to serve you.
295
00:44:07.630 --> 00:44:12.539
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): Your implementation costs should not
be anywhere in fraction of that cost, right?
296
00:44:12.740 --> 00:44:28.609
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): And that led us to build this
foundation. Once we built the foundation, that actually enabled us to
build any number of tools and technologies that any business, any service
organization, any government consume day-to-day.
297
00:44:28.660 --> 00:44:36.799
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): In this case, obviously, we're
talking about HR, IT services, and CRM, or any ERP solutions.
298
00:44:37.120 --> 00:44:38.340
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): They're all there.
299
00:44:38.920 --> 00:44:47.729
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): We are serving some of the
customers, some 40% direct customers, and we also have some partners who
actually deployed our solution
300
00:44:47.780 --> 00:44:58.929
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): On their own public cloud, as well
as their own data center, or perhaps on our own cloud, and be able to
white-label and sell their own clients as well.
301
00:44:59.290 --> 00:45:13.840
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): And, we have over 5,000 end users
consuming this technology, and we are globally spread out. We have a few
customers in India, a couple of Pacific islands, and a couple of them in
302
00:45:14.090 --> 00:45:15.350
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): Yes, that's fun.
303
00:45:15.760 --> 00:45:17.350
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): So… What angle question?
304
00:45:17.690 --> 00:45:18.860
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): So…
305
00:45:19.190 --> 00:45:28.050
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): We do see a pattern of,
telecommunications, kind of a Tier 3, Tier 4, or telecommunications
service providers, ISPs in the Pacific Islands.
306
00:45:28.270 --> 00:45:37.350
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): Where they have automated all their
internal tools, one of the case studies we receive over phone. I pretty
much consolidate all of them into one.
307
00:45:37.460 --> 00:45:54.480
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): our platform, so that these
departments don't have to depend on the IT and say, hey, I need a help,
and you actually file a ticket, and the IT may take their own time, and
in the process, you're basically… your backlog keeps growing, right? And
today.
308
00:45:54.650 --> 00:46:00.130
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): HR department pretty much manages
their own work. They never go and knock on IT department.
309
00:46:00.530 --> 00:46:03.539
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): finance department. They're pretty
much all…
310
00:46:03.650 --> 00:46:15.299
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): process all their payrolls, and
never go and talk to IT. There is no need for it. IT has their own
purpose in the business. They do their part, right? It's an engineering
services and telecommunications.
311
00:46:15.410 --> 00:46:31.629
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): But when it comes to these business
functions, whether it is HR, CRM, or payrolls, finance, accounting, you
don't need to go day-to-day and say, hey, I need to do something, can you
help? Because what platform also does is
312
00:46:31.920 --> 00:46:37.590
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): Gives you a… a business user to
actually configure the way they want it.
313
00:46:37.760 --> 00:46:44.369
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): as opposed to business users forced
you to fit into those platforms that are there today, right? That's a bit
different.
314
00:46:44.830 --> 00:46:54.030
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): And that's the premise, and we have
built it, and we've been downloading it, and would like to give an
opportunity and see if there is a need on a technology team, and
definitely explore and take it.
315
00:46:54.930 --> 00:46:58.990
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): So, just to be, you know.
316
00:46:59.120 --> 00:47:09.220
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): direct with you. We just are
implementing an ERP, and we literally are completing the contract. It's
going out for signatures in the next couple days, so…
317
00:47:09.380 --> 00:47:29.210
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): you know, it's… we're not looking
for an HR platform. You know, if it was, you know, tools that helped with
specific things with HR that maybe the platform didn't currently do, then
that would be something that we would explore, but… but as far as, like,
an ERP, we have that covered, right? We've spent
318
00:47:29.400 --> 00:47:39.230
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): a couple years now getting this new
replacement ERP system approved and, selected. It's a huge process of
319
00:47:39.230 --> 00:47:50.710
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): of going through that, and we're
finally at the finish point where we're about to implement. So, so we're
not exactly looking for a custom ERP solution at this time.
320
00:47:50.740 --> 00:48:06.319
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): Right? But if you had pieces that,
you know, AI tools that were, helping with, you know, procurement or HR,
like, specific things that could be time savers, then that would be
something we would explore.
321
00:48:06.325 --> 00:48:18.195
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): Absolutely, thank you for filling
in. So, typically, anywhere we walk in, we don't expect it's an empty
slate where you just adopt the tool, and it's a… Right. What do we call,
like, a green environment, right?
322
00:48:18.355 --> 00:48:26.855
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): And the life is that there are
already tools, and there is data, and there's processes that are serving
the community. Yeah. And…
323
00:48:26.855 --> 00:48:40.365
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): at the same time, as you said, one
URP tool, if it took, like, a couple of years to bring you to life, and
that really speaks of the current complexity and implementations and all
those things, right? Yeah. Just to clarify.
324
00:48:40.370 --> 00:48:46.100
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conference Room): It was two years… they haven't
started the implementation. That's the city… Oh, the environment.
325
00:48:46.850 --> 00:48:49.820
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): An assessment of what we currently
have.
326
00:48:49.825 --> 00:48:55.845
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conference Room): Yeah, going to council, asking for
the…
327
00:48:55.845 --> 00:48:56.605
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): Yeah.
328
00:48:56.605 --> 00:48:57.344
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): Oh, it's about…
329
00:48:57.350 --> 00:48:58.100
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conference Room): Offright as well.
330
00:48:58.850 --> 00:49:01.650
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conference Room): To implement this, it would be
another 2 years.
331
00:49:02.220 --> 00:49:11.640
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): that's the difference. If… if the
tool would take 2 years, we'll have some metrics that would actually
probably take a fraction of the time. Yeah, I mean.
332
00:49:11.645 --> 00:49:15.445
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conference Room): For us to buy any tool, it takes 2
years. Yeah.
333
00:49:15.445 --> 00:49:31.184
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): typical time for a purchase process…
purchase process… It's faster. Purchase process, yeah, I agree, I agree.
Typically, I mean, so if you really have to do upfront assessments and
comparisons and all sorts of… Yeah, yeah, those are the… those are the
hurdles.
334
00:49:31.185 --> 00:49:34.634
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): a government has to go through.
Everybody has to go through. Yeah.
335
00:49:34.800 --> 00:49:37.259
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): There is no free money there. Right,
exactly.
336
00:49:37.265 --> 00:49:40.204
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): Maybe you work on the moment.
337
00:49:40.210 --> 00:49:44.000
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): Yep. And, so absolutely, as I
mentioned,
338
00:49:44.150 --> 00:50:02.119
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): If there are systems and there are
gaps, and there are difficulties, absolutely, this platform can bridge
those gaps and connect with the existing systems, be able to give you
power to drive the value out of those systems. Particularly, even if we
had to just go and bring another integration player to connect with these
systems.
339
00:50:02.140 --> 00:50:10.279
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): And give the value. Because the
integrations, I mean, the way I look at it is, you have a number of these
vertical pillars in any environment.
340
00:50:10.340 --> 00:50:25.779
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): Now, typically, to connect these
things, you bring an integration layer, right? Integration is not cheap.
That takes its own cost and its own life cycle. Yes. Bring the value out
of it. Yes. Now, every vendor is bringing their own AI on top of it.
341
00:50:25.870 --> 00:50:41.340
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): Right? That doesn't necessarily mean
that the underlying pillars, costs are not going away. They're still
there, right? Yes, there is some new value they're bringing. They're
also, at times, adding more cost, because they're now saying, oh, we are
bringing AI.
342
00:50:41.560 --> 00:50:43.090
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): Right? You need to pay for it.
343
00:50:43.450 --> 00:50:58.419
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): So those are the things that we are
trying to address and say, hey, so you really don't have to think so many
of them, and bloated IT organizations… I'm not saying that the IT
organizations don't have relevance, they do, absolutely, but what is the
optimal value that you really need?
344
00:50:59.030 --> 00:51:03.720
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): So that's the premise and how we
built the platform and enabling any type of business.
345
00:51:04.130 --> 00:51:09.920
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): And anything, for example, if you're
a… even a non-IQ person.
346
00:51:10.270 --> 00:51:20.510
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): with a little bit of a help, you'll
be able to, in a secure manner, plumb the tool and get the value out of
it. Okay. That's the kind of sophistication of the platform.
347
00:51:20.680 --> 00:51:21.570
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): Got it.
348
00:51:22.150 --> 00:51:26.269
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): So if there are some gaps, we have,
you can fill those.
349
00:51:26.275 --> 00:51:36.274
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): Absolutely. So, for example, if
customization or building custom value based on the existing tools itself
may take a few months and a lot of money.
350
00:51:36.415 --> 00:51:42.594
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): You can probably explore this as
well. Because we allow you to connect with the proper authentication
system.
351
00:51:42.865 --> 00:51:56.815
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): And, extract the data, and you don't
necessarily, sometimes, you don't have to copy the data. Where the data
sits there, you connect the data, and you drive your whole workflow, and
you get the value out of it.
352
00:51:59.890 --> 00:52:00.910
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): Custom.
353
00:52:01.020 --> 00:52:03.310
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): solution for CTR, Virginia.
354
00:52:03.460 --> 00:52:06.050
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): For that need. You can also…
355
00:52:06.055 --> 00:52:15.744
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): Absolutely, absolutely, yes. So, so
it's not just the product, I mean, so you can buy the services. If it
really comes to the implementing this whole thing, you can absolutely do
it.
356
00:52:17.090 --> 00:52:21.209
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): It definitely would be down the road
after we get… Yes, yes.
357
00:52:21.215 --> 00:52:28.334
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): No expectations at this point, but
presenting that there is a company and there is a team here in town.
358
00:52:28.625 --> 00:52:30.335
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): Then walk away.
359
00:52:30.930 --> 00:52:35.910
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): We appreciate it. Thank you very
much for presenting and for showing us what you have.
360
00:52:35.910 --> 00:52:40.269
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): So, I have a few slides that I… if
you have some more time, I can just walk through. Sure.
361
00:52:42.690 --> 00:52:51.579
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): I think I've pretty much laid out
the story, why we built it, and how the history has been in the IT, and a
number of tools that are there.
362
00:52:51.630 --> 00:53:04.010
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): Wherever you go. No bias towards or
against any of the vendors that have been listed here, but I would say
some of us probably have worked in any of these companies, too.
363
00:53:04.250 --> 00:53:07.779
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): But, that's been the history and the
evolution of the technologies.
364
00:53:08.680 --> 00:53:23.389
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): And, as you see on the left side,
any implementations would typically take months and a number of
disciplines there, and the time it takes, as well as the efficiencies.
Particularly in the last,
365
00:53:23.590 --> 00:53:26.540
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): Two decades or so, as we have seen.
366
00:53:26.680 --> 00:53:36.640
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): The cloud adoption, and as you keep
going and buying these tools, the utilization of these tools are not
really so great.
367
00:53:37.050 --> 00:53:41.240
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): And there is a lot of inefficiencies
that have been accumulated over time.
368
00:53:41.560 --> 00:53:51.860
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): And, so if you really think about
all these things, right, so fragmented data in multiple systems, and
undocumented workflows.
369
00:53:51.950 --> 00:54:03.020
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): hidden disks and logics and legacy
systems. You bring all of them together, you have one place where you can
query the data and extract the value out of it.
370
00:54:03.080 --> 00:54:13.920
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): Now, for example, at the bottom, so
we have a… we are also bringing AI. I'll talk about how our AI differs
from the existing AI stories, right?
371
00:54:14.490 --> 00:54:30.629
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): So let's just say, if you ask the
query and say, payroll increase so much, it would actually extract the
data out of your systems and present the data to you. So you don't really
have to think about how to write a query and then extract the data.
372
00:54:32.370 --> 00:54:45.979
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): Now, so, why and what, our platform
is? As you see, the number of, the Legos, or perhaps the tools, right?
HR, ERP, payroll, CRM, finance, and approvals, workflows.
373
00:54:46.190 --> 00:54:52.659
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): And any custom, contracts and all
those things, can be plumbed on top of this.
374
00:54:54.670 --> 00:55:02.010
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): has… Have you worked with any
governments? Because governments have a lot of regulation around
375
00:55:02.520 --> 00:55:19.780
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): employment, benefit, I mean, all
those different factors where, a lot of that is already built into these,
existing government ERP systems that are really built for what we do. You
know, this… this…
376
00:55:20.260 --> 00:55:27.300
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): Definitely seems… Potentially more
for smaller companies, or even bigger companies, but that
377
00:55:27.500 --> 00:55:32.950
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): don't have as many regulations and
specific… So…
378
00:55:32.955 --> 00:55:39.935
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): I, I will do one example here is, at
least there are two agencies. One is obviously,
379
00:55:40.265 --> 00:55:44.954
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): local telecommunications, partly
funded by New Zealand government.
380
00:55:45.125 --> 00:55:53.735
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): And there is actually an airport
authority who has also implemented this solution. Okay. And they have
some policies and practices and regulations.
381
00:55:53.965 --> 00:56:03.245
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): And, but yes, definitely we have a
lot more sophisticated and, a lot more complex rules and all those
things. Yeah, yeah. So…
382
00:56:03.485 --> 00:56:12.264
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): By the way, so when it comes to the
platform itself, we do have ISO 27001 and GDPR Privacy InfoSec
compliances already here.
383
00:56:18.185 --> 00:56:29.595
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): So, one thing I wanted to mention,
this here is when we talk about all these tools, we mentioned about the
unified data layer, so that you don't have the data sitting in fragmented
systems.
384
00:56:29.675 --> 00:56:41.054
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): Right? You all have one view, one
data, and based on the user role and business function, you enable the
activity that can be done and drive the whole production.
385
00:56:45.885 --> 00:56:49.564
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): And, so the beauty of the system is
that
386
00:56:49.995 --> 00:56:59.225
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): Yes, like, traditional systems, you
don't take a lot of time to actually go and plumb these things and do
custom programming.
387
00:56:59.225 --> 00:57:14.615
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): This is actually pretty much all
visually driven, so business team can actually adopt an existing one and
customize to their own needs. Or if you really need a custom application
to be developed, a completely new one based on the existing tools and
data.
388
00:57:14.785 --> 00:57:29.265
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): we can actually drive that most of
the time with visual-driven, so there is no programming involved. Now,
what? Visual, visually driven are what we call the no-code platform,
right? So…
389
00:57:32.215 --> 00:57:45.975
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): Low code. Low code. No code
background. Don't write the code. We don't generate the code. You will
generate almost. We never generate the code at all in the platform. It's
purely data-driven,
390
00:57:49.095 --> 00:58:00.345
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): So, in terms of value, obviously, we
have some metrics. As you can see, the workflows run much faster, and a
lot more operational efficiencies that you see.
391
00:58:00.455 --> 00:58:12.004
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): And real-time decision-making,
because you have all the data in one place, you don't have to go around
hunting and integrating and connecting challenges. And we do have the
mobile applications as well.
392
00:58:15.775 --> 00:58:25.354
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): So, comparing with the traditional
systems versus our system, obviously there are a number of metrics and
values that we bring.
393
00:58:25.515 --> 00:58:34.174
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): As you can see, the current systems
that, if you have to implement it, take, months, whereas we can actually
bring them to life in weeks.
394
00:58:34.375 --> 00:58:48.295
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): And, who builds and how it can be
done. You don't really need a dedicated, highly proficient, high-cost,
technology teams. Business teams can pretty much customize them and
actually plumb them.
395
00:58:48.595 --> 00:58:58.584
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): And, coming to the AI integration, I
will have one slider that, that will expose exactly how we are bringing
AI, but it's already there.
396
00:58:58.755 --> 00:59:07.044
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): And, system architecture, I… as much
as the existing systems have been built in the traditional technologies.
397
00:59:07.645 --> 00:59:17.005
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): that's actually a learning lesson
for us to actually… how to do differently. That's where we brought the
new system in. That really enables… anything can be…
398
00:59:17.225 --> 00:59:25.175
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): An application layer and
applications can be composed in a modular way, while having the data at
the same as a unified RAM.
399
00:59:25.535 --> 00:59:26.415
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): business.
400
00:59:27.725 --> 00:59:46.795
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): And all of these things actually
bring a lot of cost advantages, as well as data security, because you
don't have data spread out, and you don't know exactly which system is
being accessed, and all the additional security layers that you could
bring, right? All those things get different.
401
00:59:50.265 --> 00:59:55.494
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): So, this is the scenario, probably,
I was mentioning about order for Cook Island.
402
00:59:55.625 --> 01:00:06.694
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): And they have replaced 6 different
systems that got kind of a… obviously, some of them are for legacy, and
some of these practices were manual.
403
01:00:06.785 --> 01:00:18.825
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): And they were dependent on IT teams,
and as you involve people, there are errors and human errors get
introduced, and all of them are removed.
404
01:00:21.445 --> 01:00:22.235
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): Week.
405
01:00:22.405 --> 01:00:30.545
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): And there's another services
company, which they have benefited by automating all their internal
process. It's a Bay Area company.
406
01:00:32.060 --> 01:00:33.600
Quinlan Conference Room: We're not unmuted.
407
01:00:34.520 --> 01:00:38.019
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): This is water from Kukai, like.
Yeah, I just can't…
408
01:00:38.025 --> 01:00:44.594
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conference Room): help but notice that the city of
Cupertino has a population 5 times the size of that of the Croat Islands.
409
01:00:46.280 --> 01:00:48.999
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): Yes, Kukerland is definitely…
population?
410
01:00:49.005 --> 01:00:51.244
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): Sorry? You knew their population?
411
01:00:51.245 --> 01:01:03.025
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conference Room): Okay, I might be slightly, I might
have been slightly underdirected. We're, like, 75, they're, what, like,
15, probably? Maybe 20? Yes. I might have given 20, maybe we're only 3
times the size. Right. But, like…
412
01:01:03.175 --> 01:01:04.545
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conference Room): But, but…
413
01:01:04.545 --> 01:01:15.255
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): He's actually now the CEO of
Orderhorn Cooker, and actually challenged the parent company. Rentigens
actually demonstrated now everybody else's fun.
414
01:01:15.255 --> 01:01:18.954
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conference Room): surprised that the Cooker and the
sister-owned telecom company.
415
01:01:20.355 --> 01:01:22.905
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conference Room): Yes, at least 1,300 people. Yeah.
416
01:01:22.905 --> 01:01:23.315
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): Oh, thank.
417
01:01:23.315 --> 01:01:28.195
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): 7,000. Oh, 17! I was like, okay,
well, that's a lot smaller.
418
01:01:29.785 --> 01:01:30.455
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): Okay.
419
01:01:34.960 --> 01:01:36.389
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): So, yeah,
420
01:01:36.670 --> 01:01:45.609
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): I pretty much spoke about the
benefits of the platform that brings the application building and
delivering the value.
421
01:01:48.520 --> 01:01:59.420
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): And that's the summary. And so,
regarding the AI, I wanted to lay out where and how we do things. As you
can see, the top left.
422
01:01:59.920 --> 01:02:05.739
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): The Cipher score is actually a
traditional transactional system that is not touched by AI.
423
01:02:06.320 --> 01:02:24.509
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): When you talk about the data, data
has to be deterministic. I want to make sure that accuracy is still
maintained, right? Maintained. But we do use AI-driven tools for all our
development, where they actually bring the value, and that's all that
exists that you can see.
424
01:02:25.170 --> 01:02:34.180
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): Now, the second one is the AI-driven
analytics. Obviously, when you present the data, that's exactly where
the, plenty of the value that is
425
01:02:34.520 --> 01:02:46.579
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): driving in the society today is by
reasoning your data, right? And the analytics and insights are absolutely
great value, and we are offering them.
426
01:02:46.770 --> 01:02:53.570
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): Now, where else AI can also help is,
yeah, it's actually giving you the workflows.
427
01:02:53.760 --> 01:03:03.239
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): When you have the data trans… with
the data-realistic foundation, now you enable, in a solution layer, the
workflows that actually is driven by AI.
428
01:03:04.180 --> 01:03:16.380
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): Now, what else is possible? We're
also presenting the data as you consume. Perhaps you can bring your own
AI model keys, if you already have them, or we can offer the keys.
429
01:03:16.380 --> 01:03:26.130
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): And at the end of the day, we can
present who is consuming how much, which tool is consuming how much, in
what time frame, so that you get the visibility of it as well.
430
01:03:31.750 --> 01:03:35.469
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): So that's, presentation? Oops.
431
01:03:37.240 --> 01:03:39.170
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): Thank you. Any questions?
432
01:03:39.960 --> 01:03:41.790
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): And technology.
433
01:03:42.950 --> 01:03:44.700
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): Anyone next?
434
01:03:45.730 --> 01:03:48.439
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): Look, this is not my core strength,
so…
435
01:03:48.845 --> 01:03:51.235
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): Yeah.
436
01:03:51.465 --> 01:03:55.535
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): Are you talking? Did I interrupt
you?
437
01:03:56.245 --> 01:04:04.655
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): Did I interrupt you? No, I said not
my core strength either, so… I just wanted to check and make sure that we
went to point.
438
01:04:04.655 --> 01:04:05.585
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): Public comment?
439
01:04:06.040 --> 01:04:06.810
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): Yeah, in public.
440
01:04:07.925 --> 01:04:10.325
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): We have Windows speakers. Okay.
441
01:04:14.090 --> 01:04:20.800
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): Thank you. Yes, thank you very much.
Thanks for coming. We appreciate it. Nice meeting you. Nice to be here.
442
01:04:31.610 --> 01:04:36.140
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): Now we move to, permissions set up
the work plan, right?
443
01:04:51.470 --> 01:04:53.259
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): This is very tiny to read.
444
01:04:55.580 --> 01:04:57.879
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): So we do have to review the work
plan.
445
01:04:58.490 --> 01:04:59.639
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): Oh, okay.
446
01:05:15.760 --> 01:05:16.430
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): Thank you.
447
01:05:16.720 --> 01:05:17.810
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): institution.
448
01:05:18.660 --> 01:05:19.660
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): Oh, here it goes.
449
01:05:22.840 --> 01:05:23.720
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): Nope.
450
01:05:26.540 --> 01:05:27.660
Quinlan Conference Room: Not very much.
451
01:05:39.890 --> 01:05:42.849
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conference Room): I know this is the default spot
size, but…
452
01:05:43.375 --> 01:05:50.545
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): Yeah, this is what we had gone
through last time. Phase 13 of the… Nothing with you all.
453
01:05:53.325 --> 01:05:54.495
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): Sorry.
454
01:06:01.055 --> 01:06:01.835
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): Cool.
455
01:06:09.290 --> 01:06:11.840
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): Is there a, quick question?
456
01:06:12.760 --> 01:06:15.960
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): Is this a rective transfusion? Sure.
457
01:06:16.320 --> 01:06:22.799
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): So, is there a safety initiative for
the Council, or is,
458
01:06:23.010 --> 01:06:28.040
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): Where do you see that? No, I'm
seeing here public engagement and transparency.
459
01:06:28.350 --> 01:06:31.469
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): I forgot what the different,
460
01:06:32.810 --> 01:06:35.130
Quinlan Conference Room: Council goals are for this year.
461
01:06:38.270 --> 01:06:40.659
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): For the cybersecurity event.
462
01:06:40.820 --> 01:06:43.649
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): Categorized under… Yeah.
463
01:06:43.650 --> 01:06:47.770
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): under public engagement and
transparency? Yeah. Yeah.
464
01:06:47.775 --> 01:06:50.345
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): I think the public engagement part
applies to it.
465
01:06:51.685 --> 01:06:57.504
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): This transparency is, like, no
dollars involved on it. Volunteering.
466
01:07:01.480 --> 01:07:06.740
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): So, are we good with this, or do we
want to make any changes? I'm good. Yeah, it looks…
467
01:07:06.980 --> 01:07:07.720
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): Right.
468
01:07:09.350 --> 01:07:12.479
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): Can we go to public comment before
we close the item?
469
01:07:13.230 --> 01:07:14.920
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): Yeah, we have.
470
01:07:16.070 --> 01:07:18.180
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): When you are drawing that.
471
01:07:18.390 --> 01:07:20.629
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): Cybersecurity. Yeah, you have to
have a public comment.
472
01:07:20.635 --> 01:07:24.285
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): comment on the items. We have no
speakers, Chair.
473
01:07:28.335 --> 01:07:31.605
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): That's the next, agenda. Yeah, yeah,
just to note.
474
01:07:31.610 --> 01:07:39.960
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): you know, clarify on the owners
while we were doing cybersecurity business. Yeah. And the ethical use of
AI…
475
01:07:41.500 --> 01:07:43.559
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): We have one presentation.
476
01:07:43.880 --> 01:07:48.990
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): I thought you have created
subcommittees for that.
477
01:07:48.990 --> 01:07:53.480
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conference Room): Cybersecurity subcommittee? The
event committees? That's.
478
01:07:53.630 --> 01:08:00.410
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): Sudeep… the Vice Chair and I. Yeah,
yeah. Send us. As our secretary.
479
01:08:01.020 --> 01:08:02.689
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): So, coming to the end.
480
01:08:04.650 --> 01:08:05.990
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): Robotics…
481
01:08:10.400 --> 01:08:12.440
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): We'll work on that. Anybody else?
482
01:08:18.689 --> 01:08:21.469
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): You are planning to create a
subcommittee, something?
483
01:08:22.929 --> 01:08:28.439
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): I have a subcommittee on it.
484
01:08:28.439 --> 01:08:32.679
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): We hated that. We talked about it.
We talked about it.
485
01:08:33.640 --> 01:08:35.490
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): You're great. Subcommittee.
486
01:08:35.770 --> 01:08:38.029
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): We didn't create.
487
01:08:38.550 --> 01:08:44.940
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): Oh, really created. The only
subcommittee we created was for the cybersecurity gun. Right.
488
01:08:46.290 --> 01:08:49.840
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): And, and then there is a hazard.
489
01:08:50.840 --> 01:08:54.189
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): Accurate on the limitations.
490
01:08:58.160 --> 01:09:03.829
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): So is this more, like, bringing
ideas? No. Okay, but… okay.
491
01:09:04.880 --> 01:09:07.930
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): They have an event. I think they've
been doing that, right?
492
01:09:07.935 --> 01:09:11.085
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conference Room): with the… Four presentations we've
done.
493
01:09:11.345 --> 01:09:17.404
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conference Room): I thought the four presentations
we've gotten were… Covered that. I thought that was the idea.
494
01:09:18.024 --> 01:09:23.935
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conference Room): Am I misunderstanding? That was my
thing, too.
495
01:09:23.935 --> 01:09:25.055
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): A subcommittee.
496
01:09:25.064 --> 01:09:30.334
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): who had those presentations. They
were all related. All good, yeah.
497
01:09:31.644 --> 01:09:49.574
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): Okay, so then we'll move forward
with the cybersecurity event and the robotics subcommittee. So do you
guys want to, vote on who's gonna be part of the subcommittee? Well, we…
we can't create a subcommittee without that being explicitly set in the
agenda.
498
01:09:49.575 --> 01:09:57.685
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conference Room): Oh, okay, that can't be part of the
work program, I guess. Good to know. It has to explicitly say, form a
subcommittee to XYZ.
499
01:09:58.005 --> 01:09:58.815
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conference Room): Oh.
500
01:10:00.390 --> 01:10:02.609
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): I think we've done… Oh, has that
beyond the agenda?
501
01:10:02.730 --> 01:10:05.469
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): Yeah, we've definitely been forming.
502
01:10:05.475 --> 01:10:06.164
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conference Room): with us.
503
01:10:06.165 --> 01:10:13.444
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): We have, without it being on the
agenda, so let's, make a note of that. Yeah, of course.
504
01:10:15.575 --> 01:10:18.405
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): So basically, we're adding a vote to
create a subcommittee.
505
01:10:23.150 --> 01:10:23.760
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): Yep.
506
01:10:29.980 --> 01:10:31.940
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): Alright, so then do we move the item
5?
507
01:10:36.930 --> 01:10:40.660
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): Item 5 is subcommittee update.
508
01:10:46.090 --> 01:10:48.959
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): So the first.
509
01:10:48.965 --> 01:11:01.494
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): item is that, we had to finalize the
date… Yes. …right, for the cybersecurity event, so we sent out, surveys
to the…
510
01:11:02.035 --> 01:11:06.924
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): Potential panelists, as well as, to
the…
511
01:11:07.115 --> 01:11:09.574
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): Council members and the City Mayor.
512
01:11:09.755 --> 01:11:17.335
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): And, the date that's emerging, as
that's, is October 1st. Okay. Okay.
513
01:11:18.175 --> 01:11:23.895
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): October 1st seems to be, permanent
for all the panelists, as well as,
514
01:11:24.015 --> 01:11:28.694
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): The mayor as well. And what day of
the week is October 1st?
515
01:11:28.695 --> 01:11:30.035
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conference Room): I think it's a Thursday.
516
01:11:30.385 --> 01:11:31.355
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conference Room): Thursday.
517
01:11:33.480 --> 01:11:37.209
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): So, looks like that's… I think we'll
have to vote on that.
518
01:11:37.520 --> 01:11:39.439
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): To finalize that, right?
519
01:11:40.500 --> 01:11:42.599
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): Excellent. I don't know.
520
01:11:42.600 --> 01:11:46.220
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conference Room): Even if we can do that. Yeah, no, we
just…
521
01:11:46.225 --> 01:11:47.664
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): finalize,
522
01:11:47.905 --> 01:11:52.735
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): But Thursday is a good day, I think.
Yeah. End of the week, it'd be easier for people to go.
523
01:11:53.105 --> 01:11:58.324
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conference Room): For the information of the panel, I
will almost certainly be unavailable that week. Okay.
524
01:11:58.565 --> 01:12:02.425
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conference Room): But it'll be the whole week, so
don't move anything on my account.
525
01:12:04.060 --> 01:12:09.380
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): Well, that's the one day that worked
for everyone, all… Totally on the side. That's the day we need to stick
with.
526
01:12:11.520 --> 01:12:15.169
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conference Room): This is not a request, just an FYI.
Okay.
527
01:12:15.980 --> 01:12:23.719
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): And, so, Mayor, Kitty Moore has
agreed to inaugurate the event as well. Oh, that's nice.
528
01:12:24.940 --> 01:12:29.299
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): you know, Amy and, so, we have,
529
01:12:30.380 --> 01:12:33.800
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): A lot of panelists, so we need to
finalize
530
01:12:34.090 --> 01:12:39.569
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): which… how many panelists we need.
Last time, we had five, including the moderator.
531
01:12:40.200 --> 01:12:54.990
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): We have, like, 7 or 8. Oh, do we? I
don't know if everyone will make it, so my thought process is finalize on
the… on the 4, right? We said we'll have only 5 last time.
532
01:12:55.310 --> 01:12:58.229
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): I think that was a good album.
533
01:12:58.235 --> 01:13:03.574
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): 5 last time. Not including the one,
not including you. Not including me, he had 5?
534
01:13:04.280 --> 01:13:07.650
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): I think so, yeah. Rommation.
535
01:13:08.000 --> 01:13:09.080
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): Drawbutt.
536
01:13:09.500 --> 01:13:15.000
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): the D… Dean 9. It was 4. It was 4.
537
01:13:15.330 --> 01:13:16.999
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): Yeah, including you, right?
538
01:13:17.280 --> 01:13:18.420
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): But we… Yeah.
539
01:13:18.420 --> 01:13:23.130
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conference Room): Broadened our scope in terms of
companies that they all work for this year?
540
01:13:24.030 --> 01:13:29.010
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): Well, last year they were abroad. It
was the first year.
541
01:13:29.015 --> 01:13:29.755
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conference Room): This looks good.
542
01:13:29.760 --> 01:13:30.500
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conference Room): Absolutely. You're.
543
01:13:30.500 --> 01:13:31.990
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conference Room): from different sections.
544
01:13:31.995 --> 01:13:32.725
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): dose.
545
01:13:32.730 --> 01:13:33.870
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): Actually, we had.
546
01:13:33.870 --> 01:13:38.210
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): plus, you know, the homeland
security guy dropped off in the last… Correct, correct.
547
01:13:38.215 --> 01:13:45.705
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): That's true. Back on. So he's
showing availability as well. Yes. So I think we should bring him in. Is
he still planning to do that.
548
01:13:45.705 --> 01:13:47.034
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conference Room): dial in a little brief.
549
01:13:47.040 --> 01:13:51.309
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): No, he'll be present, yeah. In
person is important. Yeah.
550
01:13:52.255 --> 01:13:56.755
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): So, we should bring him in, this
son, right? Yes, for sure.
551
01:13:56.755 --> 01:13:57.674
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): That's a good perspective.
552
01:13:57.675 --> 01:14:07.085
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): And then, I haven't checked with
Trupti, but all the other panelists are available for Oktoberfest.
553
01:14:07.455 --> 01:14:12.044
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): And, Tommy was going to check with
Aaron. He did.
554
01:14:12.045 --> 01:14:25.324
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): And she was available, but not on
the 1st. Yeah. She was only available the 7th, I think, of the dates.
That was Erin West, the one that did it 2 years back.
555
01:14:25.485 --> 01:14:31.995
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): She works from the… she used to…
she's retired now, but she worked in the DA's office, so she had some
really…
556
01:14:31.995 --> 01:14:33.514
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conference Room): She had a very good insight.
557
01:14:33.515 --> 01:14:34.954
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): He's the best presenter.
558
01:14:34.955 --> 01:14:36.514
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): center, and doesn't need to be
great.
559
01:14:36.515 --> 01:14:37.545
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): And some of the real.
560
01:14:37.550 --> 01:14:38.749
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): what cases changed.
561
01:14:38.755 --> 01:14:39.525
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): Talk about.
562
01:14:39.525 --> 01:14:46.754
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): Yeah, and things that were eye-
opening to all of us, and the kids that were there, which was really
nice.
563
01:14:47.155 --> 01:14:56.855
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): So, so we did talk about bringing
that, Rhea on, remember? Okay. She has the experience, she works with
kids, I think she is…
564
01:14:57.075 --> 01:15:13.884
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): high school, or just after high
school age, so that might be a good perspective in just trying to get
more, younger, the youth, audience to attend. Right. So, we are in
meddling of chair?
565
01:15:14.185 --> 01:15:19.165
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): she's the one that reached out. She
has some cyber security…
566
01:15:20.015 --> 01:15:24.415
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): momentum, or act, or some kind of…
567
01:15:24.415 --> 01:15:25.155
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): Precisely.
568
01:15:25.160 --> 01:15:26.649
Speaker 11 (Quinlan Conference Room): But she is a movement thing.
569
01:15:26.655 --> 01:15:32.524
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): That's what I was looking for. She
has a… Yes, yes.
570
01:15:33.490 --> 01:15:42.559
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): So, she's, we're checking on her
availability. Okay, good. And if possible, we'll bring her in, for the
next…
571
01:15:42.880 --> 01:15:51.969
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): Commission. Oh, perfect. That's the
plan. Oh, I put that on the agenda, then. Yeah. Yeah. I know Marilyn's
working on it, right?
572
01:15:51.975 --> 01:15:56.504
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): Yeah, she was gonna come into this
one, but I don't think it worked out.
573
01:15:57.600 --> 01:16:05.670
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): Awesome. So, that's the plan right
now. So, shall we finalize the date as October 1st and inform my
audience? Okay.
574
01:16:06.640 --> 01:16:14.199
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): issue. Appreciate that. Then we can
nail down everything else as far as the city goes. Yeah. Video group and
all of that. Yeah.
575
01:16:14.750 --> 01:16:19.070
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): Because last time, we had some
issues. Yeah, when we had to change.
576
01:16:19.075 --> 01:16:19.885
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): Yeah. Because, because…
577
01:16:19.885 --> 01:16:20.955
Speaker 11 (Quinlan Conference Room): 15th.
578
01:16:21.575 --> 01:16:27.144
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): We were thinking of things in the
last minute, and we couldn't make things up. Yeah, yeah.
579
01:16:29.535 --> 01:16:31.465
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): Yeah, it's okay.
580
01:16:33.045 --> 01:16:36.725
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): That's a, subcommittee. Very cool.
Okay.
581
01:16:40.120 --> 01:16:42.029
Quinlan Conference Room: And the other one will start working.
582
01:16:43.790 --> 01:16:44.760
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): I love something.
583
01:16:45.030 --> 01:16:46.370
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): By next week.
584
01:16:47.090 --> 01:16:51.519
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conference Room): Now, is our next meeting scheduled
for July 1st or July 8th?
585
01:16:52.075 --> 01:16:54.945
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): It's usually the first Wednesday of
the month.
586
01:16:55.095 --> 01:17:01.995
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): I can make it on the 1st. If it gets
moved in July, I won't be able to attend. I won't. July 1st.
587
01:17:01.995 --> 01:17:03.555
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): First,
588
01:17:03.715 --> 01:17:11.314
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): So, I can get Tommy to fill in, or
we can move it. It's up to you guys. Just depends if other people are on
vacation that…
589
01:17:11.555 --> 01:17:12.305
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): Yes.
590
01:17:12.305 --> 01:17:13.075
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): Oh, no, no, no.
591
01:17:13.080 --> 01:17:22.070
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): Wait, July? July 1st is a Thursday.
Yeah. So, no, it wouldn't be July 1st, it would be the 7th, and I'll be…
Oh, really? Okay.
592
01:17:22.075 --> 01:17:24.295
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conference Room): This Wednesday, July 1st, it's a
Wednesday.
593
01:17:24.295 --> 01:17:25.075
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): It's a pain.
594
01:17:25.075 --> 01:17:27.454
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): Did you let somebody know? Oh, I'm
sorry.
595
01:17:27.455 --> 01:17:37.815
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): I'm in 2017. Okay. I went a little
too far. July 1st is a Wednesday. It is a Wednesday. It is a Wednesday.
So it would be that week, but that is a holiday week. A lot of people
have…
596
01:17:37.815 --> 01:17:51.935
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conference Room): So we have the… we have the 6th off
as our holiday day, and not the 3rd, but… Is it the 6th off? Yeah, we
have the 6th off as our substitute day. I think I also have the same… 6th
off.
597
01:17:53.480 --> 01:18:02.930
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): So, does the 8th… work for your
calendars, we could throw that out there. Okay, so we'll,
598
01:18:02.935 --> 01:18:08.784
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): I don't know if I'll be able to
participate on the 8th, because I may be on
599
01:18:09.075 --> 01:18:12.725
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): travel, I'm going to India, but I
don't remember the exact date.
600
01:18:14.320 --> 01:18:17.050
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): If you're in India, can you join
remotely?
601
01:18:17.055 --> 01:18:25.704
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): If I'm in India, that's fine, I can
participate remotely. But if I'm in between months and then it'll be
difficult. Yeah, for sure.
602
01:18:27.015 --> 01:18:29.035
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): Okay, yeah.
603
01:18:30.560 --> 01:18:38.770
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): Well, we'll evaluate if the ADE even
works for the city, meaning this room's available, and we can make that
work, and then get back to you.
604
01:18:39.530 --> 01:18:44.320
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): And in the meantime, you can let us
know. Yeah, I think I should be able to. Currently.
605
01:18:45.560 --> 01:18:48.710
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): As it looks, I'm traveling on the
4th.
606
01:18:52.200 --> 01:18:56.109
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): Yeah. I should… So, April should be
meeting again, yeah.
607
01:18:56.790 --> 01:19:03.190
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): I should be watching first, or I
think should be, celebrating. Okay.
608
01:19:03.190 --> 01:19:04.940
Quinlan Conference Room: It's great to be glad to be brought to you.
609
01:19:05.910 --> 01:19:06.530
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): Okay.
610
01:19:07.010 --> 01:19:09.929
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): Staff and commission reports?
611
01:19:10.570 --> 01:19:12.599
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): So, do we have to take public
comment?
612
01:19:12.710 --> 01:19:14.990
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): funding the current? Yes, we do.
613
01:19:14.995 --> 01:19:18.175
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): So, we have no speakers, Chair.
Okay.
614
01:19:18.905 --> 01:19:20.024
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): It's a good thing.
615
01:19:21.185 --> 01:19:22.165
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): Okay.
616
01:19:23.460 --> 01:19:28.390
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): staff and commission reports. I can
talk in the… about the mayor's meeting.
617
01:19:29.170 --> 01:19:33.900
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): So we had the mayor's machine on
April 18th, And,
618
01:19:34.550 --> 01:19:39.740
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): Actually, have you, anyone here
listened to the mayor's presentation that Kitty gave?
619
01:19:40.150 --> 01:19:41.570
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): At the meeting?
620
01:19:42.120 --> 01:19:43.439
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): At that meeting?
621
01:19:43.620 --> 01:19:46.700
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): Not at the meeting. She has this…
622
01:19:46.880 --> 01:19:49.890
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): She gives the annual city address,
right? Yes.
623
01:19:49.895 --> 01:19:50.445
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): down the city.
624
01:19:50.445 --> 01:19:51.895
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): density. Yeah.
625
01:19:51.900 --> 01:20:03.560
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): She went through that once. Oh, she
did. Okay. Yeah, yeah. Okay. But also, she went, deeper into some of the
things, issues. So, one of the things she noted was.
626
01:20:04.020 --> 01:20:08.820
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): The property tax is collected by the
county, right?
627
01:20:09.140 --> 01:20:15.069
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): And it goes to the city, meaning
it's not collected by city of Puerto. Right.
628
01:20:15.075 --> 01:20:18.284
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): to a county and then gets
distributed. Yeah.
629
01:20:18.285 --> 01:20:26.335
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): to the state, county commission. Oh,
okay. Or maybe the county, yeah. So the, Santa Clara County
630
01:20:26.775 --> 01:20:30.714
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): They have it in a pretty… the way it
is set up.
631
01:20:31.485 --> 01:20:34.645
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): that Cupertino is in a very bad
place.
632
01:20:35.135 --> 01:20:41.045
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): Ours is, like, the property revenue
share is, like, the lowest in South Florida town.
633
01:20:41.985 --> 01:20:47.365
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): So, Palo Alto gets 15%, Milpitas
gets 12%, Cupertino gets 6%.
634
01:20:47.535 --> 01:20:48.195
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): Right.
635
01:20:48.195 --> 01:20:49.380
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): Is that correct?
636
01:20:49.875 --> 01:20:51.794
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): Ccd plus something…
637
01:20:51.795 --> 01:20:58.155
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): Historic, like, this was set up,
sometime back, 30, 40 years back.
638
01:20:58.605 --> 01:21:00.795
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): And, oh, it's probably been some
positive.
639
01:21:00.800 --> 01:21:02.289
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conference Room): Population of the time, or
something.
640
01:21:02.295 --> 01:21:06.525
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): Yeah, depending on the state of
development or something.
641
01:21:06.835 --> 01:21:20.704
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): like, Milkitas, there was nothing
there. I think Milpitas developed later, right? And, yeah. So, Milpitas
got a bigger share, and Cupertino and Sarata were considered,
642
01:21:20.835 --> 01:21:25.784
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): Pretty far, pretty developed, so, we
are, like, 6%, and…
643
01:21:26.085 --> 01:21:28.695
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): A lot of them are, like, 12 and 15%.
644
01:21:29.630 --> 01:21:35.349
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): And Palo Alto has 15%. Yeah. I'm
sure Paloto was also developed.
645
01:21:35.555 --> 01:21:39.814
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): Yeah, but somehow it has ended up.
So I was talking to,
646
01:21:40.185 --> 01:21:50.095
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): Like, all of us were asking, can't
you go and down? He says, no, no, no. It can't be, because all the other
cities have to agree to it.
647
01:21:50.895 --> 01:21:56.534
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): And because their project is fixed,
if they increase somebody, that means they have to lower somebody.
648
01:21:56.685 --> 01:21:57.525
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): Right.
649
01:21:58.485 --> 01:22:00.604
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): So, that's why it's in the L.
650
01:22:00.775 --> 01:22:07.254
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): it's going to be brutal to
renegotiate. But property tax is such a massive number.
651
01:22:07.565 --> 01:22:16.024
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): So, if you are getting 6%,
somebody's getting 15%, you know, you are not getting that much money…
Right. …to run your city. Right.
652
01:22:17.060 --> 01:22:23.540
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): No, but this is 6% of what is
collected from your city? Yes. Right?
653
01:22:23.545 --> 01:22:32.514
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conference Room): Sorry, we keep 6% of what is
collected by our city? They keep 94% of our… Yeah, yeah.
654
01:22:32.515 --> 01:22:33.565
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): What about the school.
655
01:22:33.565 --> 01:22:37.914
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): It shows that Palo Alto gets 15%,
and…
656
01:22:38.345 --> 01:22:40.515
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): Thank you, Petty Fire. Thanks so
much.
657
01:22:40.520 --> 01:22:43.180
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): They have to take part of the
percentage from another city.
658
01:22:44.070 --> 01:22:51.849
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): If… Yeah, because of our… Pull them
up. Either it is coming from, county.
659
01:22:52.310 --> 01:22:57.690
Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conference Room): So it's between county and the
city, not with any other city. No, there is… everybody's.
660
01:22:57.695 --> 01:22:59.145
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): represented them, too.
661
01:22:59.375 --> 01:23:00.535
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): Agreed on.
662
01:23:01.005 --> 01:23:03.185
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): Is the idea being you're
challenging…
663
01:23:03.190 --> 01:23:09.189
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conference Room): So, for example, the county needs $1
million, so if they give us back next to $100,000.
664
01:23:09.195 --> 01:23:13.674
Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conference Room): still wants their fixed budget, but
they're saying, if I'm going.
665
01:23:13.675 --> 01:23:14.505
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conference Room): which is probably.
666
01:23:14.505 --> 01:23:17.654
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): Unlike Palo Alto, they're taking
15%.
667
01:23:18.905 --> 01:23:22.604
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): from just the funds that come from
Palo Alto. Yeah.
668
01:23:22.605 --> 01:23:33.055
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conference Room): He said, like, oh, they… Oh, they're
giving back. Like, they give back 15%, like, they keep 85% of Palo Alto,
and they keep 94% of Cupertino, or whatever.
669
01:23:33.055 --> 01:23:36.254
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): How is that fair? That doesn't seem…
Yeah, it looks.
670
01:23:36.255 --> 01:23:38.365
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): Like, you know.
671
01:23:39.310 --> 01:23:41.920
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): It's going to be so heavily
contested that
672
01:23:42.130 --> 01:23:44.930
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): Cupertino and Saratoga will not have
the boats, too.
673
01:23:45.540 --> 01:23:47.509
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): Oh, and the county right now.
674
01:23:47.515 --> 01:23:51.745
Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conference Room): the force of action, or it was just
a FIM? Just FYI.
675
01:23:52.340 --> 01:23:55.890
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): But there was no, like, we're doing
this about the… about this.
676
01:23:56.300 --> 01:23:57.110
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): No.
677
01:23:57.970 --> 01:24:04.029
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): I thought there was, another one
that I saw as a public… I read in the public was the…
678
01:24:04.250 --> 01:24:13.520
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): Sheriff's… Contract. Contract, they
sort of increased it. We were renegotiating that contract.
679
01:24:13.525 --> 01:24:15.095
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): license plate reader.
680
01:24:15.205 --> 01:24:23.174
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): The reason it got canceled is, I
think Satakla thought he could not work up the deal with the existing
vendor, so they have to find another vendor.
681
01:24:23.175 --> 01:24:23.935
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): No.
682
01:24:23.935 --> 01:24:30.734
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): It was because… it was because that
vendor had known to, basically…
683
01:24:30.735 --> 01:24:32.935
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): data.
684
01:24:32.935 --> 01:24:50.255
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): and go against what the policy, what
they agree to in the policy. And so, they want to still allow ALPRs, but
they don't want to allow block as a vendor, because they abuse their…
Yeah.
685
01:24:50.255 --> 01:24:53.525
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): I had a whole analysis on clock
cameras, actually.
686
01:24:53.755 --> 01:24:57.515
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): On what the issues are. Identity.
Yes.
687
01:24:57.655 --> 01:24:58.505
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): Yeah.
688
01:24:58.615 --> 01:24:59.985
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): Yeah. But.
689
01:24:59.985 --> 01:25:04.455
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): Yeah, we really need that, because
crying is, like, going through the roofs.
690
01:25:04.455 --> 01:25:19.585
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): And there's other vendors out there.
Yeah, I think they are talking to them. Yeah. So we're waiting for the…
for basically all of the cities to come together, and the county to
decide which vendor they want to go with, because it doesn't make sense
for us to all select our own. Yeah.
691
01:25:19.590 --> 01:25:20.209
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conference Room): Also, this.
692
01:25:20.215 --> 01:25:27.695
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): property tax, if they just
standardize all the same… Yeah. Put in a way, you do so much better.
Yeah. Because that will be a lot more dollars.
693
01:25:27.695 --> 01:25:30.234
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): I don't know how they…
694
01:25:30.240 --> 01:25:31.290
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): everything about us.
695
01:25:31.490 --> 01:25:32.949
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): Because our property tax.
696
01:25:32.955 --> 01:25:36.255
Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conference Room): very high, right? No, we are not
subsidizing.
697
01:25:37.060 --> 01:25:39.299
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): County is getting more money out of
us.
698
01:25:39.640 --> 01:25:44.819
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): Yes, so grantees are providing
services to all the cities, right? So, we are.
699
01:25:44.825 --> 01:25:50.824
Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conference Room): It is percentage of the property
tax collected from that city. Yes, yes, yes.
700
01:25:50.825 --> 01:25:53.085
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conference Room): acute 94%. But he's saying…
701
01:25:53.085 --> 01:25:59.055
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): Because we're paying, they're giving
us less, we're paying more, that we're helping…
702
01:25:59.055 --> 01:26:03.815
Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conference Room): Helping any other… No, no, no. We
are. We are helping the other one.
703
01:26:04.315 --> 01:26:07.415
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): this budget is for all the cities,
right? Yeah.
704
01:26:07.415 --> 01:26:18.075
Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conference Room): If the assumption is it is the
percentage of the property tax collected from that city, not the overall
budget of county.
705
01:26:18.075 --> 01:26:29.834
Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conference Room): Then, where does, we subsidize any
other city? Because you are giving 94% back. Yeah, 13. But that is going
in the city of county. Yeah, yeah. Right?
706
01:26:29.835 --> 01:26:31.294
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): vision is more than…
707
01:26:31.295 --> 01:26:35.444
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conference Room): Palo Alto put in more, we could put
in less. That's what he means by we're subsidized.
708
01:26:35.450 --> 01:26:40.579
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): Because the county is using those
funds, right? And they're using more from us.
709
01:26:40.750 --> 01:26:48.700
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): So, if we give them less, then
they're going to be strapped, right? Where are they going to get those
additional funds from? From another city, right?
710
01:26:51.370 --> 01:26:56.420
Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conference Room): Okay, they want to keep their PD
fixed from home. Yeah, exactly, that's the problem.
711
01:26:56.420 --> 01:26:59.360
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): Well, and the county is already
underwater. Yeah, they don't have plenty of time.
712
01:26:59.365 --> 01:27:00.885
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conference Room): So many…
713
01:27:00.885 --> 01:27:10.614
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): And that's why the sheriff's
contract is being renegotiated, because the county is seeing this as a
way to get more revenue coming into them, because they're underwater.
714
01:27:10.615 --> 01:27:20.374
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conference Room): the city of Santa Clara can collect,
like, basically no property taxes from, you know, any of the giant major
sports venues there.
715
01:27:20.375 --> 01:27:21.134
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): they're like to.
716
01:27:21.140 --> 01:27:26.350
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conference Room): like, the 49ers stadium, they pay
basically no property, they pay basically no tax. Oh, they just.
717
01:27:26.685 --> 01:27:30.894
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): Yeah. I mean, you're getting…
718
01:27:30.895 --> 01:27:35.345
Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conference Room): business in a different form, so
you're getting money. Well, they don't get sales tax from it.
719
01:27:35.970 --> 01:27:37.060
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): Yep. Okay.
720
01:27:37.270 --> 01:27:39.450
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): Do we need to go over the count?
721
01:27:39.455 --> 01:27:43.235
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): Commissioner's report, from the EDC.
722
01:27:43.235 --> 01:27:46.275
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): And then there was some other stuff,
like,
723
01:27:46.495 --> 01:27:51.674
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): The housing commission… not the
Housing, the Planning Commission was saying.
724
01:27:51.895 --> 01:28:00.835
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): So, there was a lot of talk about
the Stevens Creek Office Center, 122-unit residential, and 66 small lot,
and…
725
01:28:00.945 --> 01:28:04.724
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): One of them… agreed to some BMR
housing.
726
01:28:05.045 --> 01:28:08.585
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): And then now they are saying we will
not provide pneumonacosa.
727
01:28:09.210 --> 01:28:12.419
Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conference Room): What is the… The longer the brain.
Yeah, yeah.
728
01:28:13.050 --> 01:28:19.069
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): And so, you know, the city is stuck
because the construction is underway and everything.
729
01:28:19.430 --> 01:28:24.389
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): So, that has happened in the past,
and the builder that gets available.
730
01:28:25.210 --> 01:28:29.290
Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conference Room): Maybe they… they knew, okay, there
is a loophole. Yeah.
731
01:28:31.070 --> 01:28:44.420
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): So, they were discussing… some of
these were discussed, but and the team commission was talking about
hackathon judges from Teams. I think everybody got that email, right? No.
I don't think I saw it.
732
01:28:44.780 --> 01:28:49.579
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): Oh, okay, okay. Yeah, actually, I
can't forward.
733
01:28:49.840 --> 01:28:53.879
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): To the decommission, but, you can
forward it to…
734
01:28:54.390 --> 01:28:58.040
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): No. Yeah, I can tell you.
735
01:28:58.600 --> 01:28:59.980
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): He has supported.
736
01:29:00.360 --> 01:29:03.319
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): Because any of us cannot follow it.
Yeah.
737
01:29:04.570 --> 01:29:05.380
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): Okay.
738
01:29:05.900 --> 01:29:06.870
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): Okay.
739
01:29:07.200 --> 01:29:26.870
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): So, from an economic development
committee perspective, they're running a few campaigns this summer. One
is a shop local campaign. We have July 4th celebrations coming up, as
well as FIFA, so they want to promote Shop Local, Dine Local. When is
FIFA?
740
01:29:26.940 --> 01:29:28.220
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): Summer.
741
01:29:28.225 --> 01:29:29.605
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): August?
742
01:29:30.250 --> 01:29:34.699
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): I don't remember the exact date.
Summer. Summer. So it will be at the…
743
01:29:34.705 --> 01:29:37.345
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): For an understanding.
744
01:29:37.670 --> 01:29:40.230
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
745
01:29:40.340 --> 01:29:41.120
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): So…
746
01:29:41.125 --> 01:29:44.615
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): Levi is getting, like, you know,
these big concerts.
747
01:29:45.825 --> 01:29:48.784
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): The property values around that has
gone. Yeah.
748
01:29:49.290 --> 01:29:54.849
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): So we want to get our share of
revenues for the city, so we are encouraging…
749
01:29:55.140 --> 01:30:00.000
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): small businesses to provide some
special menu.
750
01:30:00.005 --> 01:30:02.734
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): count, you know, some kind of…
Discount, or…
751
01:30:02.740 --> 01:30:20.929
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): specific menu that they can mention,
oh, as a… because of shop local campaign, they have a special menu
offered at a discounted rate, right? So, anyone, can, make available that
menu to get that.
752
01:30:21.190 --> 01:30:26.719
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): discount, that's one of the things.
And, another item is that,
753
01:30:26.910 --> 01:30:35.100
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): Many of the businesses, they need
to, renew their business license yearly.
754
01:30:35.110 --> 01:30:47.259
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): And, there's a fees associated with
it. I was surprised many of the businesses hadn't, renewed, that, so we
were offering an amnesty program for that. Nice, yes.
755
01:30:47.260 --> 01:31:02.189
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): for penalties, right? If you don't
renew it in time, you have to pay penalties, so we are offering an
amnesty program. I guess that 100% amnesty ended on April 30th, and,
756
01:31:02.200 --> 01:31:05.729
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): the next 30 days, I believe, is 50%
757
01:31:05.840 --> 01:31:20.519
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): Of the amnesty. And also, we are
having a company called H… HDL, I think? HDL. HDL, we are, we are going
to hire them to collect all the business license fees in the future.
758
01:31:20.525 --> 01:31:22.685
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): They're already on board. They're
already on board.
759
01:31:22.690 --> 01:31:23.350
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): on.
760
01:31:23.910 --> 01:31:31.510
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): What else? So, yeah, I went and
talked to, 3 businesses in Main Street.
761
01:31:31.670 --> 01:31:38.240
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): About renewing their business
license. Oh, you did? Yeah, AT&T, and oh, that's it.
762
01:31:39.745 --> 01:31:41.245
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): Yeah, I'm surprised!
763
01:31:41.245 --> 01:31:44.245
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): You would be surprised.
764
01:31:44.245 --> 01:31:45.004
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): I was surprised.
765
01:31:45.005 --> 01:31:49.145
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): With all those towers and all those
fiber lines.
766
01:31:49.150 --> 01:31:58.530
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): business office, right? That's in
Main Street. Oh, I see. And then, I believe Eureka was one of them, but
then they ended up paying, so they got off my list.
767
01:31:58.690 --> 01:31:59.340
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): How can I…
768
01:31:59.345 --> 01:32:01.505
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): Helping out that…
769
01:32:01.505 --> 01:32:06.034
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): Thanks for having you guys do that.
I'm surprised, too.
770
01:32:06.035 --> 01:32:09.024
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): How we got the dollars? There was…
771
01:32:09.025 --> 01:32:22.015
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): Those dollar amounts weren't
revealed to us. Okay. We were just going to talk about the promotion to
them. They'll get 100% amnesty if you go and do it right away. So, that's
what we really do.
772
01:32:22.240 --> 01:32:27.190
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): I was doing consulting for 2-3
years. I had registered a… Companied?
773
01:32:27.190 --> 01:32:27.770
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): And so I…
774
01:32:27.770 --> 01:32:30.969
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): still… I pay in diamonds, and I
should not pay and get.
775
01:32:30.975 --> 01:32:32.465
Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conference Room): I missed it.
776
01:32:33.025 --> 01:32:36.785
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): Yeah, well, now we're tracking it.
In the past, we just didn't have…
777
01:32:37.605 --> 01:32:41.275
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): That says, you strip it. Okay.
778
01:32:42.100 --> 01:32:47.140
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): I don't operate it, but I still pay
just to keep it alive, the license.
779
01:32:48.190 --> 01:32:50.149
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): Yeah, just add my updates from ABC.
780
01:32:50.150 --> 01:32:52.730
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): something that, we have talked about
April Day.
781
01:32:52.840 --> 01:32:54.450
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): So I talked to Tina.
782
01:32:54.590 --> 01:33:00.729
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): because Kitty told me to talk to
Dina, to see if there is a concrete. Yeah. And Tina said,
783
01:33:00.940 --> 01:33:03.440
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): Well, other companies may complain.
784
01:33:03.680 --> 01:33:05.480
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): That you're unfairly.
785
01:33:06.140 --> 01:33:08.479
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): Well, I mean, I can recruit…
786
01:33:08.480 --> 01:33:09.620
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conference Room): Are we having the parents?
787
01:33:09.765 --> 01:33:21.735
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): To have an Apple Day, and… What is
Apple Day? Like, your new CEO, and, you know, they're co-party company,
right? To what? Just, they can come, address the city, and, you know, we,
788
01:33:22.025 --> 01:33:25.384
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): Give them a red tape, because they
are, like, you know…
789
01:33:25.385 --> 01:33:26.184
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): Alright, interesting.
790
01:33:26.185 --> 01:33:28.055
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conference Room): I thought I would be involved in
this.
791
01:33:28.060 --> 01:33:31.680
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): No, no, I'm just kidding. So…
792
01:33:31.685 --> 01:33:35.125
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conference Room): the man? No. So, is…
793
01:33:35.125 --> 01:33:41.134
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): So, Tina said it's a good idea, but,
other companies make a couple, and I said, who?
794
01:33:41.365 --> 01:33:51.805
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): Then she was thinking, who might
come to, and I said, okay, Seagate was headquartered, they have moved to
Fremont, and Train Micro was headquartered in, COVID, and they have moved
out.
795
01:33:52.205 --> 01:33:55.165
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): to some other place, maybe LA.
796
01:33:55.165 --> 01:33:58.884
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conference Room): We have now the list of anyone with
a business license. We don't have…
797
01:33:58.885 --> 01:34:04.905
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): We don't have anyone other than a
T&T store or legend? No, no, I don't think anybody would.
798
01:34:04.905 --> 01:34:11.795
Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conference Room): complain. The simple reason is
there's no comparison between Apple and any other company in Cupertino.
Right, but I think that.
799
01:34:11.800 --> 01:34:22.380
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): the thinking behind it was that if
Apple wants to do an Apple Day, that's amazing. But Cupertino doesn't
have the manpower to add another
800
01:34:22.840 --> 01:34:27.199
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): event, city event, that would cost
the city a lot of…
801
01:34:27.540 --> 01:34:34.470
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): Just manpower, time, and energy, and
we just don't have that… Bandwidth? Bandwidth.
802
01:34:34.750 --> 01:34:35.580
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): Yup.
803
01:34:35.730 --> 01:34:36.930
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): So, if Apple.
804
01:34:36.930 --> 01:34:38.440
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conference Room): I was not opposed to that.
805
01:34:38.445 --> 01:34:41.594
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): She said we can still do it, but get
the commissioners…
806
01:34:41.715 --> 01:34:44.795
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): to write to mayor to create some
momentum.
807
01:34:45.125 --> 01:34:48.484
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): She was actually the one of the
idea. I…
808
01:34:48.765 --> 01:34:54.634
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conference Room): Based on my understanding of Apple's
typical protection of their brand.
809
01:34:54.815 --> 01:35:11.254
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conference Room): they would be extremely hesitant to
participate in any sort of Apple Day. Like, I mean, they might send
someone to go talk and, like, you know, receive a plaque or something,
but they're not going to put their brand on anything, they don't… they
don't do that kind of thing.
810
01:35:12.300 --> 01:35:15.000
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): Have you talked to people at Apple
about this?
811
01:35:15.150 --> 01:35:16.100
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): Yeah, I can spend on.
812
01:35:18.025 --> 01:35:30.995
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conference Room): I just saw that the logo, like, the
sponsor some first robotics teams, just to put the logo on the robot, it
has to go through a 3-week review process, like, for, like, a 1-inch
logo, for something that they gave us back before.
813
01:35:31.000 --> 01:35:47.870
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): very involved. I know. Like, I
remember seeing, and you probably have seen, Steve Jobs used to come and
present to, citycoms, yeah. So I don't think it's that far off, given
that Copatima is the host city. I mean, if you propose something.
814
01:35:47.980 --> 01:35:49.659
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): It's not good to take it.
815
01:35:50.270 --> 01:35:57.799
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conference Room): I guess the question is, what are
you imagining here? Like, is this just, like, he comes and talks to city
council, and it's a platform?
816
01:35:57.805 --> 01:36:05.024
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): But, you know… This is like a solid
here, and, I don't know.
817
01:36:05.025 --> 01:36:09.554
Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conference Room): It will be a good gesture from the
city side, whether they accept it or not.
818
01:36:09.715 --> 01:36:11.115
Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conference Room): Yeah, yeah.
819
01:36:12.310 --> 01:36:14.750
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): That's up to them. Someone can
write to…
820
01:36:15.045 --> 01:36:15.805
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conference Room): So, even.
821
01:36:15.805 --> 01:36:20.885
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): If their top doesn't come, they can
still send somebody from the top endpoint.
822
01:36:21.470 --> 01:36:26.330
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conference Room): I think you're underestimating the
security requirements, but… Yeah.
823
01:36:26.335 --> 01:36:29.094
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): And what do you mean, a good gesture
from the city side?
824
01:36:29.410 --> 01:36:30.110
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): to the particular.
825
01:36:30.115 --> 01:36:35.354
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): Security will be… I think Apple
does… last time I went to Google.
826
01:36:35.355 --> 01:36:45.075
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conference Room): 50th anniversary, like, we love
having you in Cupertino kind of plaque, like, celebrating our 50-year,
like, relationship with that, or something.
827
01:36:45.075 --> 01:36:47.454
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): Are we up 50? No, yeah.
828
01:36:47.455 --> 01:36:51.075
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): Oh, it is. Yeah, that's…
829
01:36:51.075 --> 01:36:52.005
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conference Room): Okay, so yeah.
830
01:36:52.005 --> 01:36:53.355
Speaker 11 (Quinlan Conference Room): Yeah, like.
831
01:36:53.355 --> 01:36:58.364
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): Proclamation or certification, you
know, they come… No, they do stuff like that sometimes.
832
01:36:58.365 --> 01:37:03.974
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conference Room): Oh, that's fantastic. Like, one
photo, one photo op and the little plaque that they do for the.
833
01:37:03.975 --> 01:37:06.814
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): properly. Yeah, at the council
meeting. Yeah, we are doing, like.
834
01:37:06.815 --> 01:37:08.315
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): You know, for so many events.
835
01:37:08.315 --> 01:37:16.575
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conference Room): I still think we're underestimating
the security requirements. However, I think that we probably couldn't get
in trouble for proposing something. I don't think…
836
01:37:16.575 --> 01:37:17.305
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): Something like that.
837
01:37:17.310 --> 01:37:21.830
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): I mean, if they just come, yeah, and
security shouldn't be a problem.
838
01:37:21.835 --> 01:37:26.795
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): security should be. Because last
time I went to Google I.O, And,
839
01:37:27.285 --> 01:37:45.375
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): the security guard told me, when I
was going up to… several years, I went and told, made weeks from that,
because he comes from the same suit in India, and we had met over the
years. I presented to him, when the Power BRM, which is in graphics
integrated in their phones.
840
01:37:45.815 --> 01:37:54.715
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): So, one security guard said, no,
this time we got going. There are 76 security guards inside Google I.O,
which is police outside it.
841
01:37:55.085 --> 01:38:03.704
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): Well… I have in Microsoft, they have
security guards in elevator, which, there are elevators, in every floor.
842
01:38:03.825 --> 01:38:07.685
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): Scandes the whole… where he is, the
whole place is.
843
01:38:07.685 --> 01:38:18.904
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conference Room): I've never seen Tim Cook go anywhere
without, like, a five-person entourage of people all, like, typing on
iPhones. Yeah, yeah. I think they're all mostly, like, assisted business
people.
844
01:38:18.905 --> 01:38:24.594
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): Ravels with me, told me that, Tim…
Tim Cook always took 40 engineers with.
845
01:38:25.100 --> 01:38:27.740
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conference Room): I have not noticed… I've not seen
that, but there's…
846
01:38:27.745 --> 01:38:35.004
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): That's funny. So when he goes to
submit Samsung or TSMC, he'll take all the experts who are involved in
that.
847
01:38:35.255 --> 01:38:42.124
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): So, they were saying that… Just a
couple people. I mean, I'm not saying…
848
01:38:42.285 --> 01:38:46.484
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): Engineers means, like,
technologists. Yeah, that's…
849
01:38:46.485 --> 01:38:47.965
Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conference Room): to the public. Anyway, my.
850
01:38:47.965 --> 01:38:48.724
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): That's the point.
851
01:38:48.725 --> 01:38:51.205
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): Yeah, I can.
852
01:38:51.380 --> 01:39:00.189
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): My last update on the EDC is that,
we are, we have a subcommittee on how to attract
853
01:39:00.460 --> 01:39:05.570
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): new businesses into the city of
Cupacena, how to do the promotion?
854
01:39:05.575 --> 01:39:07.195
Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conference Room): ideas, or…
855
01:39:07.465 --> 01:39:10.565
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): subcommittee for generating ideas.
856
01:39:10.775 --> 01:39:11.565
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): Nope.
857
01:39:12.665 --> 01:39:15.575
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): So, that's my dream. Nice.
858
01:39:17.220 --> 01:39:20.220
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): Okay, future relevant data setting…
859
01:39:20.910 --> 01:39:24.619
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): So you are planning to invite VR,
right, to town? Yes.
860
01:39:24.635 --> 01:39:29.275
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): Marilyn's working on that, so we'll
let you know.
861
01:39:30.130 --> 01:39:32.840
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): That's included.
862
01:39:33.490 --> 01:39:37.629
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): For the cybersecurity event.
863
01:39:38.270 --> 01:39:38.570
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): Dr.

01:39:39.440 --> 01:39:42.390

866
01:39:49.675 --> 01:39:50.585
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): That's it.
867
01:39:51.125 --> 01:39:54.255
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): Also, in robotics, if there is some
opportunity there.
868
01:39:54.965 --> 01:39:56.744
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): Do you want more drinkers?
869

Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conference Room): Agenda item. Thanks.
870
01:40:00.240 --> 01:40:02.969

01:40:02.970 --> 01:40:03.600
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): Yes, I added.
872
01:40:03.605 --> 01:40:04.314

873
01:40:04.715 --> 01:40:08.605
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): And then we'll check on the 8th for
the next meeting.

Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): You can get that base? Yeah.
875
01:40:11.360 --> 01:40:12.700
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): It's like.
876
01:40:13.430 --> 01:40:18.450
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): Commissioner Obama can join from
India, so it should come.
877
01:40:19.650 --> 01:40:20.490

01:40:21.060 --> 01:40:22.020

882
01:40:33.400 --> 01:40:38.350
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conference Room): You only get to do it twice a year.
I know I would be taking that opportunity.
