My name is Mary and am a resident of San Jose and Founder of San Jose Strong. I am commenting today to urge the commission and council to reject this recommendation for Agenda Item 5. This recommendation fosters a culture of punitive, divisive attitudes to our most vulnerable community members, and does nothing to address the root causes behind trash dumping. A fine of $10,000 is outrageous. Please pursue alternatives and consult the community at large before implementation. Thank you
