Mountain View City Council · City Council on 2026-05-12 5:00 PM - REGULAR MEETING - May 12, 2026 · 12 May 2026 meeting

push that we have to make objective standards for things and you know that's we're writing down lots of ideas that people can go to and we can go to and to make you know to be transparent, but it's really good that it's a living document because Applying this so broadly is is very different from what we've done before I mean in the past we've done it in the North Bay Shore area primarily and

And that is much, in a sense, those companies and their needs for transportation are much more standardized and they're different than the residential needs.

So we're going to have to kind of work through that.

It's not gonna be a simple task.

Another thing I wanted to bring up along with cost is that the cost to the City of Mountain View of evaluating this is not going to be free.

We are going to have to make sure that that staff time, both the skill and the money to do it is in the budget.

And I'd just like to bring that up.

I think it's been my experience.

If it's not somebody's job to do something, it doesn't get done, I think it's gonna be important that it's assigned to somebody.

So I just wanna mention that.

And I would also say that

We collect data typically on an annual basis because that just works well.

People think in calendar times.

But in terms of really learning from data, it's often more episodic.

And in this case, I think the episodes will be the development of some big projects that get finished and are utilizing it.

So it will be interesting to see whether

you think the first big evaluation of this should be after three years or five years or five projects or whatever, but I think that there should be engineering thought into when that is the appropriate time.

And then when you do that, it'll also be time to say, okay, well maybe the monitoring program that we have had to date isn't quite right anymore and we'll change it.

With that, I would like to say thank you and I look forward to supporting this.

Thank you Council Member Showalter, Council Member Hicks.
