A
At
this
time
we
have
Sara
Milla
manners
and
presentation,
and
it
is
my
honor
to
call
I'm
going
to
get
things
out
of
order
and
actually
under
oral
communication
and,
as
you
know,
Cupertino
is
very
famous
for
Apple
Computer
and
we're
very
honored
to
have
mr.
Steve
Jobs
to
come
here
tonight
to
give
a
special
presentation.
Mr.
jobs.
B
But
we've
in
those
buildings
hold
maybe
2600
people
2,800
people,
but
we've
got
almost
12,000
people
in
the
area,
so
we're
renting
buildings,
not
very
good
buildings,
either
and
at
an
ever
greater
radius
from
our
campus
and
we're
putting
people
in
those.
And
it's
clear
that
we
need
to
build
a
new
campus.
So
we're
just
out
of
space,
and
that
doesn't
mean
we
don't
need
the
one
we've
got.
B
We
do
need
it,
but
we
need
another
one
to
augment
it,
and
so
we've
got
a
plan
that
lets
us
stay
in
Cupertino
and
we
went
out
and
we
bought
some
land
and
this
land
is
kind
of
special
to
me.
I,
when
I
was
13,
I
think
I
called
up
hewlett-packard
were
my
idols
and
I
called
up
Bill
Hewlett
because
he
lived
in
Palo
Alto
and
there
were
no
unlisted
numbers
in
the
phonebook,
which
gives
you
a
clue
to
my
age
and
he
picked
up
the
phone
and
I
talked
to
him
and
I
asked
him.
B
If
he'd
give
me
some
spare
parts
for
something,
I
was
building
called
a
frequency
counter
and
he
did,
but
in
addition
to
that,
he
gave
me
something
way
more
important.
He
gave
me
a
job
that
summer,
a
summer
job
at
hewlett-packard
right
here
on
in
Santa,
Clara
off
280.
The
division
that
built
frequency,
counters
and
I
was
in
heaven
well
right
around
that
exact
moment
in
time.
B
Hewlett
and
Packard
themselves
were
walking
on
some
property
over
here
in
Cooper
in
Peru
Norwich,
and
they
ended
up
buying
it
and
they
built
their
computer
systems
division
there
and,
as
hewlett-packard
has
been
shrinking.
Lately
they
decided
to
sell
that
property
and
we
bought
it.
We
bought
that
and
we
bought
some
adjacent
property.
They
all
used
to
be
apricot
trees,
apricot
orchards
and
we've
got
about
150
acres,
and
we
would
like
to
put
a
new
campus
on
that
so
that
we
can
stay
in
Cupertino
and
we've
come
up.
B
B
B
A
B
Don't
really
need
to
draw
on
the
screen,
it's
ok,
you
can
see
it
clearly
and
what
we've
done
is
we've
bought
this
land
right
here
we
tried
to
buy
the
apartments
in
the
corner,
but
they're
not
for
sale,
so
we
couldn't
buy
those,
but
we
bought
everything
else
and
the
campus
we'd
like
to
build.
There
is
one
building,
it
holds
12,000
people
and-
and
it's
it's
pretty
amazing
building.
B
B
It's
got
curved,
it's
it's,
it's
a
it's
a
circle,
and
so
it's
curves
all
the
way
around.
As
you
know,
if
you
build
things,
this
is
not
the
cheapest
way
to
build
something.
There's
not
a
straight
piece
of
glass
on
this
building.
It's
all
curved
and
we've
used
our
experience
in
making
retail
buildings
all
over
the
world.
Now
we
know
how
to
make
the
biggest
pieces
of
glass
in
the
world
for
architectural
use,
and
we
want
to
make
the
glass
specifically
for
this
building
here.
B
B
Again
today
about
20%
of
the
space
is
landscaping.
Most
of
it
is
a
big
asphalt
parking
lot
or
several
big
asphalt,
parking
lots,
so
20%
of
it
is
landscape.
We
want
to
completely
change
this
and
we
want
to
make
80%
of
it
landscape
and
the
way
we're
going
to
do.
This
is
we're
going
to
put
the
most
of
the
parking
on
the
ground
so
that
we
can
have
80%,
be
landscape
and
you
can
see
what
we
have
in
mind.
I
mean
there's
nothing
like
this
on
the
property.
Now
it's
pretty
bad.
B
We've
hired
one
of
the
senior
arborists
from
Stanford,
actually
who
is
very
good
with
indigenous
trees
around
this
area,
so
we'd
like
to
plant
a
lot
of
trees,
including
some
apricot
orchards
and
again
you
see
what
it
might
be
like,
and
this
is
some
of
the
infrastructure
main
building
we
want.
We
have
parking
underneath
the
main
building
and
that's
not
enough,
unfortunately,
and
we
have
a
parking
structure
here
as
well.
The
building's
four
stories
high,
as
is
the
parking
structure,
so
there's
nothing
high
here
at
all.
We
want
the
whole
place
human-scale.
It's
actually.
B
About
the
same
as
what
we
have
in
Cupertino
right
now
and
an
Energy
Center,
we
deal
with
people
using
sitting
at
computers
all
day,
writing
software,
and
if
the
power
goes
out
on
the
grid,
we
get
to
send
everybody
home.
So
we
have
to
have
backup
power
to
power
the
place
in
the
event
of
brownouts
and
stuff
and
I.
B
Think
what
we're
going
to
end
up
doing
is
making
the
energy
center
our
primary
source
of
power,
because
we
can
generate
power
with
natural
gas
and
other
ways
that
can
be
cleaner
and
cheaper
and
use
the
grid
as
our
backup.
We
think
that
makes
more
sense.
We've
got
an
auditorium
because
we
put
on
presentations
much
like
we
did
yesterday,
but
we
have
to
go
to
San
Francisco
to
do
them
and
fitness
center
and
some
Rd
facilities.
B
B
The
landscaping,
though,
increases
by
350
percent,
which
is
nice,
the
trees
by
60%,
the
surface
parking
goes
down
by
90%
and
so
I
think
the
the
overall
feeling
of
the
place
is
going
to
be
a
zillion
times
better
than
it
is
now
with
all
the
asphalt
and
the
building
footprint
actually
goes
goes
down
by
30%.
So
we
want
to
take
the
space
and
in
many
cases
making
it
smaller
we're
putting
more
of
a
desirable
thing
on
the
space
and
that's
what
we'd
like
to
do
so
just
want
to
give
you
a
look
at
it.
B
A
You
mr.
jobs
and
we're
really
excited
that
you
call
Apple
our
home.
If
you
go
to
your
shop
at
one
infinite
loop,
you
have
a
t-shirt
that
says
the
mothership
has
landed
and
if
you
look
at
this
picture,
definitely
the
mothership
has
landed
here
and
put
a
potato.
Is
there
any
questions
or
comments
from
my
council
colleagues,
councilman
Wayne
hi.
C
B
As
you
know,
we're
the
largest
tax
payer
in
cupertino,
so
we'd
like
to
continue
to
stay
here
and
pay
taxes.
That's
number
one!
Okay,
because
if
we,
if
we
can't,
then
we
have
to
go
somewhere
like
Mountain
View,
and
we
take
our
current
people
with
us,
and
we
give
up
and
over
years
sell,
sell
land
here
and
the
largest
tax
base
would
go
away
that
wouldn't
be
good
for
Cupertino
and
clearly
good
for
us
either.
So
that's
number
one
and
number
two.
B
We
employ
some
really
talented,
great
people
and
and
then
they'll
across
a
whole
age
spectrum.
A
lot
of
people
right
out
of
college
are
a
lot
of
Stanford,
grads,
etc,
and-
and
you
know,
people
that
are
in
their
50s
and
even
60s.
Like
me,
I'm
in
my
50s,
so
I
think
that
a
lot
of
them
want
to
live
around
where
they
work.
We
have
a
lot
of
people
riding
their
bikes
to
work.
Now
we
also
run
a
bus
service.
B
We've
got
twenty
buses
that
run
on
biodiesel,
fuel
they're,
the
cleanest
buses
you
can
buy
and
we've
got
twenty
of
them
doing
routes
all
the
way
from
San
Francisco.
To
Santa
Cruz
bringing
people
in,
and
we
think
that
would
we
do
very
well
with
that
here.
So
those
are
the
things.
Those
are
the
kinds
of
things
I
think
could
benefit
Cupertino.
B
An
influx
of
a
tax
base
and
influx
of
very
talented
people
who
are
you
know
getting
paid,
would
put
them
in
a
fairly
affluent
group
of
people,
and
many
of
them
would
choose
to
make
Cupertino
their
personal
home
as
well
as
their
professional
home
I.
Think,
there's
a
lot
there
plus
a
whole
lot
of
trees
and
true.
C
C
B
A
D
So,
first
of
all,
it
was
interesting,
your
your
throwback
to
HP
as
a
35
year,
HP
employee,
most
of
it
on
the
Cupertino
campus
in
those
buildings.
There
obviously
felt
sorry
when
I
heard
that
that
they
were
consolidating
and
moving,
but
now
that
we've
seen
your
plans,
you
know
the
word
spectacular
would
be
an
understatement
and
I
think
that
everybody's
going
to
appreciate,
what's
clearly
is
going
to
be
the
most
elegant
headquarters.
You
know,
at
least
in
the
u.s.
D
B
E
Thank
You
surging
yeah
mister
job.
Thank
you
very
much
for
coming.
We
met
the
city,
manager
and
I
met
Mr,
Cook
and
mr.
opal
miner,
and
then
also
Terry
your
campus
and
see
it
this
the
concept,
it's
very
good.
One
I,
do
have
a
question
about
at
that
time
they
mentioned
about
the
current
infinity.
Loop
will
be
remain
the
same.
The
employee,
the
employee,
will
stay
there
right,
yeah,
we're.
E
Both
to
hold
everybody
so
now,
one
who
hosts
about
8,000
9,000
people,
no,
no
money,
you
know
about
2600
or
2600
okay,
and
then
this
one
will
house
it
twelve
thirteen
thousand.
Ok!
Well
now,
so
it
doesn't.
Okay,
that's
our
current
all
right!
So
then,
in
my
concern
is
a
last
time.
I
forgot
to
ask
Terry
about
the
safety
issue
and
because
you
have
only
one
building
has
so
many
people
there.
So
all
the
safety
will
be
put
into
consideration
like
a
fire.
Everything,
oh
of
course,
okay,
yeah.
B
No,
we
we
spend
a
ton
of
time
identifying
and
hiring
what
we
think
are
the
best
people
in
the
world
at
doing
what
we
do.
The
last
thing
we
want
is
for
anybody
to
get
hurt.
Okay,
though
yeah,
of
course
we're
gonna
I
mean
the
whole
building
has
to
be
designed
with
pretty
pretty
precise
requirements
for
safety,
but
will
you
go
beyond
those.
E
B
E
E
B
D
B
C
A
E
A
Exactly
exactly,
but
you
know
when
Chris
and
I
met
with
mr.
jobs,
you
know
I
found
a
little
bit
more
about
him.
Is
that
actually
he
is
a
hometown
boy
graduate
from
Cupertino
middle
school,
where
my
daughter's
going
went
to
Homestead,
High
School,
so
mr.
jobs
very
well
familiar
with
the
city
of
Cupertino,
so
it
were
very
fortunate
that
you
found
it
here
in
Cupertino.
You
decided
to
expand
here
in
Cupertino.
There's
many
choices
across
the
country
and
sure
that
many
governors
and
many
mayors
are
said.
A
Please
come
to
us,
but
you
decided
to
stay
here
and
I.
Think
it's
because
Cupertino
is
such
an
innovative
place,
a
diverse
place
and
educational
wise
that
we
have
such
wonderful
schools
and
later
on,
we'll
hear
some
other
students
on
how
they
got
awarded
I
and
our
schools
are
doing
so
well.
One
thing
I
want
to
ask:
you
is
to
keep
in
mind,
is
giving
back
to
the
community
and
one
thing
that
we
would
love
to
do
ensure
that
our
staff
will
talk
about.
A
A
Again,
thank
you
very
much
for
coming
with
me,
I'm
sure
that
you
guys
are
very
lucky
to
hear
this
very
historical
moment
that
you
know
you
were
here
about
what
five
years
ago
was
a
krysta.
You
made
the
announcement
you
bought
355
acres,
then
you
bought
another
100
acres
from
hewlett-packard
and
Apple
is
truly
the
technology
of
innovation
and
our
city
staff.
Nsc
council
looks
very
forward
to
working
with
you
and
helping
you
succeed
here
in
our
community.
Thank
you
very
much.
Let's
give
it
a
big
round
of
applause,
sir
mr.
Siegel.
