"content": "\u003cp>Days before the start of its fall term, \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/tag/stanford\">Stanford\u003c/a> announced new “freedom of expression” policies amid a polarized presidential election season and the ongoing war in Gaza.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Among the biggest policy changes are an obligation to remove facial coverings when asked and a clarification of the camping policy, requiring that tents and structures be removed overnight regardless of whether people are present. Much of the policy is not new, but it centralizes rules regarding where and how students can protest, and it introduces a new reporting system for discrimination after multiple \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11989050/pro-palestinian-stanford-protesters-detained-after-occupying-presidents-office\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">high-profile antiwar protests\u003c/a> — including a barricade inside the office of the university’s president that \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11991389/press-freedom-groups-want-charges-dropped-against-stanford-student-journalist\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">resulted in 13 arrests\u003c/a> — in the spring.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The new rule on facial coverings requires people to remove them for the purpose of identification “under circumstances covered by the Campus Disruptions Policy,” similar to \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12002150/uc-academic-workers-union-says-new-protest-policies-will-limit-free-speech\">policies introduced at other universities\u003c/a> this fall.

Acting Police Chief Paul Joseph said Monday that a 911 caller stated the man was shooting into the air randomly and that another person had been shot.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Details emerged that an adult male suspect began shooting into the ceiling inside of the restaurant and then exited the restaurant, where he continued discharging his firearm outside,” Joseph said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Several officers responded to the pleas for help from frantic 911 callers, reporting what was initially thought to be a possible active shooter situation with the potential for many injuries or deaths.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When officers arrived in the area, a small business plaza, they located the man, later identified as 50-year-old Roberto Rivera of San José, standing near his vehicle. He was armed with a stolen 45-caliber handgun that he was raising above his head, police said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Officers attempted to de-escalate the situation, giving the suspect commands to drop his weapon, but the suspect did not comply,” Joseph said. “The suspect then pointed his gun at the officers, causing four officers to discharge their weapons at the suspect, striking him more than one time.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rivera was taken into police custody around 9:37 p.m., transported to a hospital and later died from his injuries, police said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=news_12000464 hero='https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/240531-SEGOVIACASE-JG-1-1020x680.jpg']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While the investigation into the shooting is still in its early stages, police said interviews with witnesses and family members of Rivera led detectives to believe he was seeking confrontation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We are learning that the suspect had estranged himself from his family, was drinking heavily and had made comments regarding suicidal ideations,” Joseph said. “By all accounts, we believe the suspect was determined to have an armed confrontation with police and unfortunately shot a bystander during his self-created melee.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Before police arrived in the area, a man who police said was shot by Rivera had already been transported to a hospital. Joseph said the two men don’t appear to have a known connection, and it’s still unclear what happened between the two of them before the shooting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At a press conference Monday afternoon, Joseph said the four officers who shot at Rivera all had their body-worn cameras activated at the time of the shooting, and all are crisis intervention trained.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The officers, who were not identified by police, have between three and seven years of experience as police officers, Joseph said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San José Mayor Matt Mahan lauded officers for the “incredible courage and professionalism” displayed during the incident.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I believe that the reason that this was not a much worse tragedy than it already is, is because our officers responded quickly and courageously and did what they needed to do to ensure the safety of others who were there,” Mahan said during the press conference.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re praying for the victim,” he said, “and just grateful that there aren’t other victims.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The shooting marks the fourth time this year a San José Police Department officer, or officers, have fired their guns on duty — and the first time this year the shooting resulted in a death, police said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The incident is being investigated by the department’s homicide unit and the Santa Clara County District Attorney’s Office and is being monitored by the San José Police Department’s Internal Affairs Unit, the City Attorney’s Office and the office of the Independent Police Auditor for the city.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

The agreement follows months of \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11999936/cuts-at-east-san-jose-hospital-will-harm-vulnerable-residents-advocates-say\">protests against the company\u003c/a> for cutting trauma center, stroke and heart attack services at the hospital to save costs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The deal would bring the hospital under the wing of Santa Clara Valley Healthcare, the public health system run by the county that already includes three hospitals and a series of clinics and health centers across the county.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Making Regional Medical Center part of Santa Clara Valley Healthcare’s network of hospitals and clinics will ensure that East San José and the surrounding community continue to have access to top-notch Level II trauma, comprehensive stroke, specialized heart attack, and ultimately, labor and delivery care,” County Executive James Williams said in a statement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The county said due diligence and a formal purchase agreement need to be hammered out, with HCA and the county hoping to complete the transaction in the first quarter of 2025.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The announcement by the county comes a little more than five years after the county completed its takeover of O’Connor Hospital in San José, St. Louise Regional Hospital in Gilroy, and the De Paul medical facility in Morgan Hill, now called VHC Morgan Hill, from the struggling Verity Health Systems in 2019.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It will also bring Regional Medical Center back into the realm of a public benefit facility. The hospital was previously run by a not-for-profit organization, Alexian Brothers when it was purchased by HCA Healthcare more than 20 years ago.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label='More South Bay Coverage' tag='south-bay']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In February, Nashville-based HCA Healthcare announced it planned to close Regional Medical Center’s trauma center, completely eliminate its severe heart attack services and reduce stroke services on Aug. 12.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The company \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11996422/hospital-operator-backs-off-closure-of-east-san-jose-trauma-center-after-public-outcry\">backed off those plans in mid-July\u003c/a> after a coalition of medical workers, including some doctors and nurses from the hospital, as well as community members, patient advocates and elected officials, \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11990284/doctors-community-leaders-ramp-up-efforts-to-halt-closure-of-east-san-jose-trauma-center\">raised alarms in a series of rallies and demonstrations\u003c/a> at HCA hospitals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Instead, the hospital downgraded its trauma center from a Level II to a Level III — something advocates said was a threat to patient safety because it offers lower levels of care, doesn’t require specialists to be on-site around the clock, and leans more on transferring patients with serious needs to other facilities after stabilizing them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Instead of eliminating its ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) program, which handles severe heart attacks, it trimmed those services. One of the cuts targeted the hospital’s catheterization laboratory, where cardiologists insert catheters to help diagnose heart issues. On Aug. 12, it went from being an around-the-clock lab to daytime only.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Stroke services were set to be reduced from “comprehensive” to just above “primary” levels, though the company said the facility would still be able to serve 97% of patients.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12001277\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2000px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12001277\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/240821-RMCPURCHASE-JG-1-KQED.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1333\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/240821-RMCPURCHASE-JG-1-KQED.jpg 2000w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/240821-RMCPURCHASE-JG-1-KQED-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/240821-RMCPURCHASE-JG-1-KQED-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/240821-RMCPURCHASE-JG-1-KQED-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/240821-RMCPURCHASE-JG-1-KQED-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/240821-RMCPURCHASE-JG-1-KQED-1920x1280.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Santa Clara County CEO James Williams (at podium) is surrounded by county officials and medical professionals during a press conference about the county’s plan to purchase Regional Medical Center on Aug. 21. \u003ccite>(Joseph Geha/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>A county report in April said Regional Medical Center was the only trauma center and only comprehensive stroke center on the county’s east side and that the reduction of services could have a “cascading effect” on the entire county health care system, as other facilities would have to pick up the slack.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The delayed access to care could potentially increase deaths and other poor health outcomes and could have a “disproportionate impact on communities of color and lower-income communities in East San José.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Williams said that in addition to eventually restoring the services that were cut earlier this month, the county intends to also bring back labor and delivery services, which HCA cut from Regional in 2020. However, the lower level of services put in place on Aug. 12 will remain in the interim, a hospital official said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We have served this community for over 25 years. We’ve invested over $500 million in capital improvements at Regional Medical Center, and we believe this is the best path forward for our organization,” HCA Healthcare Far West Division President Jackie Van Blaricum said.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Reduction in services pushed county action\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>The cuts at Regional Medical Center were far from HCA Healthcare’s first foray into reducing services in the city.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2004, shortly after purchasing the downtown San José Medical Center, the company shuttered that hospital, which included a trauma center, and consolidated services into Regional Medical Center.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Santa Clara County Board of Supervisors President Susan Ellenberg said the county wasn’t looking to expand its hospital system, but alarms were raised after HCA cut labor and delivery services during the pandemic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When Regional Medical Center started and then continued to decrease critical services for our East San José residents, ultimately we got to the point where it felt irresponsible to allow them to continue to deplete care in this very high-need population without stepping in,” Ellenberg said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It reminded us of a similar pattern with San José Medical Center, where HCA discontinued one practice after another that they felt was not sufficiently profitable and ultimately closed down that entire center. We didn’t want to see that happen again,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Because the hospital was previously a not-for-profit facility, coalition members, including high-ranking local and state-level politicians, \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11987665/advocates-urge-state-to-intervene-in-closure-of-san-jose-trauma-center\">called on Attorney General Rob Bonta and Gov.

One of the cuts targeted the hospital’s catheterization laboratory, where cardiologists insert catheters to help diagnose heart issues. On Aug. 12, it went from being an around-the-clock lab to daytime only.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Stroke services were set to be reduced from “comprehensive” to just above “primary” levels, though the company said the facility would still be able to serve 97% of patients.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12001277\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2000px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12001277\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/240821-RMCPURCHASE-JG-1-KQED.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1333\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/240821-RMCPURCHASE-JG-1-KQED.jpg 2000w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/240821-RMCPURCHASE-JG-1-KQED-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/240821-RMCPURCHASE-JG-1-KQED-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/240821-RMCPURCHASE-JG-1-KQED-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/240821-RMCPURCHASE-JG-1-KQED-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/240821-RMCPURCHASE-JG-1-KQED-1920x1280.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Santa Clara County CEO James Williams (at podium) is surrounded by county officials and medical professionals during a press conference about the county’s plan to purchase Regional Medical Center on Aug. 21. \u003ccite>(Joseph Geha/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>A county report in April said Regional Medical Center was the only trauma center and only comprehensive stroke center on the county’s east side and that the reduction of services could have a “cascading effect” on the entire county health care system, as other facilities would have to pick up the slack.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The delayed access to care could potentially increase deaths and other poor health outcomes and could have a “disproportionate impact on communities of color and lower-income communities in East San José.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Williams said that in addition to eventually restoring the services that were cut earlier this month, the county intends to also bring back labor and delivery services, which HCA cut from Regional in 2020. However, the lower level of services put in place on Aug. 12 will remain in the interim, a hospital official said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We have served this community for over 25 years.

We didn’t want to see that happen again,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Because the hospital was previously a not-for-profit facility, coalition members, including high-ranking local and state-level politicians, \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11987665/advocates-urge-state-to-intervene-in-closure-of-san-jose-trauma-center\">called on Attorney General Rob Bonta and Gov.

Gavin Newsom on Friday signed a package of bills \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11982393/california-assembly-bills-seek-to-curb-retail-theft-maintain-proposition-47\">aimed at cracking down on shoplifting and organized retail theft\u003c/a>, while taking aim at a tough-on-crime measure on the November ballot that the governor said is unfairly punitive in pursuing the same goals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom called organized retail theft and serial theft “the issue that is front and center in the consciousness of so many Californians.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You see it online, social media, you see it on the nightly news,” Newsom said. “This goes to the heart of the issue and it does it in a thoughtful and judicious way.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom argued the bills are a measured approach that will make it easier for police to arrest shoplifters and disrupt larger retail crime rings. But it’s unclear whether the governor’s action will deter voters from going further and passing Proposition 36, which would increase sentences for theft and drug crimes by rolling back pieces of Proposition 47, a criminal justice reform measure passed by voters a decade ago.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Friday, Newsom launched the opening salvo in the campaign, arguing that Proposition 36 “takes us back to the 1980s, the war on drugs, mass incarceration. It promotes a promise that can’t be delivered.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Those that support Prop 36, they’ll be accountable for it.

It’s about our San José story and an American story,” Kamei said from the dais, speaking through tears about the internment orders decades ago.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I really tried not to get emotional, but this is hard because we have many (Asian American and Pacific Islander) communities that have been erased, and we have a chance to do something about this,” Kamei said. “It’s about having the will to preserve a vital piece of history that we can share with future generations …there will be something there, for what was once there.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The other path the council asked staff to explore would see the home relocated about 10 miles south to History Park, a local nonprofit-run space with a growing collection of original and replica homes, businesses, and once prominent landmarks laid out across a miniature city-like grid to reflect the region’s past.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Neither option is guaranteed to result in the home being saved, and would depend on hundreds of thousands of dollars of funding that could come from the city, nonprofits, residents or other sources to help pay for the relocation and restoration of the home.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>City parks officials will come back to the council in the coming months with an evaluation of the two options, officials said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label='More South Bay Coverage' tag='south-bay']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The possibility of relocating the home to History Park gained support from Carolyn Sakauye and Jane May, who are the daughters of Eiichi Sakauye and own the land. The sisters’ attorney, Sam Farb, previously wrote to city officials to say they didn’t feel their father’s home was worth saving, but that view has apparently shifted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Farb, at the meeting on Tuesday, said the sisters “would strongly be in favor of trying to preserve the family farmhouse offsite,” such as History Park. Carolyn Sakauye and Jane May previously declined to be interviewed by KQED for a story about the land, citing advice from their attorney.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>City parks officials also raised concerns about the ongoing funding needed to maintain another historical home in a public park, which the city already struggles to do at some other sites. The council just last week \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11999166/tax-to-fix-san-joses-dilapidated-parks-wont-appear-on-november-ballot\">scrapped plans\u003c/a> to put a tax measure on the ballot to address a parks maintenance backlog of over $450 million.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hanover, for its part, has said it will pay $100,000 to help cover some relocation costs if the city or other organizations can secure a place for the home.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Councilmember Bien Doan suggested that Hanover should consider offering “at least double” that amount to help with the preservation effort.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think it’s a minimal investment for the history of the Japanese Americans right here in the city of San José,” Doan said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other council members suggested that more should be done than putting up plaques or storyboards, but the council did not go as far as to require the developer to preserve the home on the site where it currently sits. No part of the council’s approval of the development is contingent on the ultimate outcome for the historic home.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Councilmember Peter Ortiz questioned Scott Youdall, a development partner at Hanover, about how much engagement and outreach the company did to the Japanese American community when the development process began. Youdall said the company only consulted with the Sakauye family.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Which does to me send a message that wasn’t front and center of your guys’ minds,” Ortiz said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rod Diridon Sr., a longtime former city council member, county supervisor and member of regional boards for transportation, told the council on Tuesday that he supports preserving the home.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It is a beautiful project, and I hope you do approve it. But you’ve got to save the house,” Diridon said. He mentioned that History Park had recent success taking on a \u003ca href=\"https://www.mercurynews.com/2024/05/21/155-year-old-coyote-train-depot-takes-a-road-trip-to-san-jose/\">historic train depot building\u003c/a>, which was donated to the park, and a county grant helped cover relocation costs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s got to be a way to protect that house and to do all the things necessary to remind the world what this family went through and what they provided — after they went through it — to society,” Diridon said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Speaking about the generosity of Eiichi Sakauye, Diridon said, “It makes me have goose pimples thinking about how wonderful that quiet, quiet gentleman was.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

It’s about our San José story and an American story,” Kamei said from the dais, speaking through tears about the internment orders decades ago.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I really tried not to get emotional, but this is hard because we have many (Asian American and Pacific Islander) communities that have been erased, and we have a chance to do something about this,” Kamei said. “It’s about having the will to preserve a vital piece of history that we can share with future generations …there will be something there, for what was once there.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The other path the council asked staff to explore would see the home relocated about 10 miles south to History Park, a local nonprofit-run space with a growing collection of original and replica homes, businesses, and once prominent landmarks laid out across a miniature city-like grid to reflect the region’s past.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Neither option is guaranteed to result in the home being saved, and would depend on hundreds of thousands of dollars of funding that could come from the city, nonprofits, residents or other sources to help pay for the relocation and restoration of the home.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>City parks officials will come back to the council in the coming months with an evaluation of the two options, officials said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The sisters’ attorney, Sam Farb, previously wrote to city officials to say they didn’t feel their father’s home was worth saving, but that view has apparently shifted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Farb, at the meeting on Tuesday, said the sisters “would strongly be in favor of trying to preserve the family farmhouse offsite,” such as History Park. Carolyn Sakauye and Jane May previously declined to be interviewed by KQED for a story about the land, citing advice from their attorney.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>City parks officials also raised concerns about the ongoing funding needed to maintain another historical home in a public park, which the city already struggles to do at some other sites. The council just last week \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11999166/tax-to-fix-san-joses-dilapidated-parks-wont-appear-on-november-ballot\">scrapped plans\u003c/a> to put a tax measure on the ballot to address a parks maintenance backlog of over $450 million.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hanover, for its part, has said it will pay $100,000 to help cover some relocation costs if the city or other organizations can secure a place for the home.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Councilmember Bien Doan suggested that Hanover should consider offering “at least double” that amount to help with the preservation effort.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think it’s a minimal investment for the history of the Japanese Americans right here in the city of San José,” Doan said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other council members suggested that more should be done than putting up plaques or storyboards, but the council did not go as far as to require the developer to preserve the home on the site where it currently sits. No part of the council’s approval of the development is contingent on the ultimate outcome for the historic home.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Councilmember Peter Ortiz questioned Scott Youdall, a development partner at Hanover, about how much engagement and outreach the company did to the Japanese American community when the development process began. Youdall said the company only consulted with the Sakauye family.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Which does to me send a message that wasn’t front and center of your guys’ minds,” Ortiz said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rod Diridon Sr., a longtime former city council member, county supervisor and member of regional boards for transportation, told the council on Tuesday that he supports preserving the home.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It is a beautiful project, and I hope you do approve it. But you’ve got to save the house,” Diridon said. He mentioned that History Park had recent success taking on a \u003ca href=\"https://www.mercurynews.com/2024/05/21/155-year-old-coyote-train-depot-takes-a-road-trip-to-san-jose/\">historic train depot building\u003c/a>, which was donated to the park, and a county grant helped cover relocation costs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s got to be a way to protect that house and to do all the things necessary to remind the world what this family went through and what they provided — after they went through it — to society,” Diridon said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Speaking about the generosity of Eiichi Sakauye, Diridon said, “It makes me have goose pimples thinking about how wonderful that quiet, quiet gentleman was.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"content": "\u003cp>Despite months of discussion, the San José City Council on Tuesday scrapped plans for a tax measure on the November ballot to fund park maintenance after city polling showed it was unlikely to muster the necessary support from voters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With the city facing a parks maintenance backlog of over $450 million, council members instead opted to reevaluate the idea ahead of the 2026 election.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In underfunded park districts like mine in Eastside San José, the quality of the park is the difference between it being a gang hotspot or it being used by families and young children,” Councilmember Peter Ortiz said. “That being said, I can see the writing on the wall and recognize that today or this election cycle may not be the best time to put this on the ballot.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Council members acknowledged hearing a steady stream of complaints from residents about dilapidated playgrounds, patchy grass turf and graffitied structures. Still, they voted unanimously to delay consideration of a plan to pay for the fixes, citing the difficulty of securing the required support from two-thirds of voters to pass a new parcel tax on property owners.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Early polling proved discouraging: In July, 1,200 likely voters in the city were asked about tax ideas, including a $35 flat tax per property and a 1/2 cent levy per square foot levy. The measure would have raised roughly $21 million annually to clean trails and recreational facilities and clear homeless encampments in parks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fifty-nine percent of likely voters said they would support the tax. When voters were read arguments for and against the measure, support slipped to 52%. Typically, support for tax measures declines over the course of an election — rendering the parks tax idea dead on arrival.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11999204\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2000px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11999204\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/3459312372_50a97f1138_o_qed.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1328\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/3459312372_50a97f1138_o_qed.jpg 2000w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/3459312372_50a97f1138_o_qed-800x531.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/3459312372_50a97f1138_o_qed-1020x677.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/3459312372_50a97f1138_o_qed-160x106.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/3459312372_50a97f1138_o_qed-1536x1020.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/3459312372_50a97f1138_o_qed-1920x1275.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A man walks his dogs past the Veterans Memorial near Guadalupe River Park in downtown San José. \u003ccite>(Don DeBold/Flickr)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“It doesn’t appear that there is a whole lot of room for arguments in support to make progress with voters,” said Peter Hamilton, assistant to the city manager.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The parks tax would have appeared on a November ballot already crowded with spending measures.

Still, they voted unanimously to delay consideration of a plan to pay for the fixes, citing the difficulty of securing the required support from two-thirds of voters to pass a new parcel tax on property owners.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The measure would have raised roughly $21 million annually to clean trails and recreational facilities and clear homeless encampments in parks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fifty-nine percent of likely voters said they would support the tax. When voters were read arguments for and against the measure, support slipped to 52%. Typically, support for tax measures declines over the course of an election — rendering the parks tax idea dead on arrival.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11999204\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2000px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11999204\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/3459312372_50a97f1138_o_qed.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1328\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/3459312372_50a97f1138_o_qed.jpg 2000w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/3459312372_50a97f1138_o_qed-800x531.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/3459312372_50a97f1138_o_qed-1020x677.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/3459312372_50a97f1138_o_qed-160x106.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/3459312372_50a97f1138_o_qed-1536x1020.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/3459312372_50a97f1138_o_qed-1920x1275.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A man walks his dogs past the Veterans Memorial near Guadalupe River Park in downtown San José. \u003ccite>(Don DeBold/Flickr)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“It doesn’t appear that there is a whole lot of room for arguments in support to make progress with voters,” said Peter Hamilton, assistant to the city manager.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The parks tax would have appeared on a November ballot already crowded with spending measures.
