B

Our
goal
today
is
to
help
you
make
informed
choices
in
this
election.
We
have
eight
candidates
running
for
three
open
seats.
We
will
jump
right
into
the
questions
and
most
questions
will
have
a
one
minute
response
time.
Not
all
candidates
will
answer
the
same
questions
Darrell's
stove
over
here
to
my
left
to
your
right
will
be
our
timekeeper.
B
Also,
there
are
blue
index
cards
on
each
table
and
pens,
and
if
you
have
questions
just
jot
them
down
and
Judi,
Wilson
and
Roberta
will
be
wandering
around
I
can
collect
them
and
we'll
bring
them
up
to
me
and
if
we
have
time
I'll
get
as
many
as
we
can.
So
with
that
I
think
we're
going
to
dive
right
in
and
for
the
first
question
is
going
to
be
for
Oren,
Darcy
and
Savita,
and
the
question
is
one
of
the
most
important
decisions
you
will
make
will
be
the
selection
of
a
city
manager.
C
It
was
a
just
a
major
project
and
we
felt
that
his
background
in
land
use
was
the
best
fit
of
the
candidates,
so
we
had
at
the
time,
I
think
with
what's
going
on
now
that
I
would
look
for
somebody
more
like
a
David
napped
that
kind
of
more
in
the
community
consensus-builder
community
builder,
because
I
think
that's
really
needed
in
the
city
right
now.
So
obviously,
they'd
have
to
have
all
the
other
skills,
but
that'd
be
what
I
would
be
looking
for.
Thank.
D
Look
for
someone
who's,
dynamic,
intelligent
and
available.
Those
are
three
traits
that
I
think
speak
to
you.
The
needs
of
Cupertino
dynamic,
because
we
have
a
lot
of
things
going
on.
Our
demographic
is
very
eclectic,
our
age,
demographic.
It
goes
up
and
down
the
spectrum.
We
have
families
that
are
very
young
people
that
have
aged
in
place.
We
have
obviously
people
that
are
drawn
from
all
over
the
world
here.
I
think
intelligence
speaks
for
itself.
D
It's
something
that,
if
we're
able
to
approach
these
problems
from
a
clear-headed
perspective,
obviously
we're
going
to
get
better
outcomes
and
then,
with
regard
to
availability,
I
would
really
like
to
make
sure
that
we
not
necessarily
implement
the
policy
that
we
used
to
have
in
Cupertino
that
our
city
manager
live
in
the
city,
but
at
least
encourage
that
availability
to
be
able
to
come
to
our
weekend.
Events
to
be
able
to
respond
in
a
timely
fashion
to
the
various
types
of
issues
that
may
arise
on
a
very,
very
quick
basis.
B
E
You,
since
everybody
knows
that
we've
just
approved
a
big
project
in
malko
I
think
land
use
experience
is
primarily.
We
really
need
the
new
city
manager
to
have
that
experience.
Some
legal
know-how
of
California
laws,
knowledge
of
California
municipal
laws-
is
really
important
and
also
a
little
bit
of
awareness
of
what's
happening
in
the
Senate
and
Assembly,
because
the
legislature
brings
in
laws
and
then
we
are
constantly
figuring
out
a
way
to
either
oppose
them
or
support
them.
E
They
should
definitely
have
innovative
ways
of
communicating
with
our
public
outreach
is
important
and
we've
seen
that
everything
that
we
try.
We
only
get
to
get
to
some
of
the
public,
not
everyone,
so
they
have
to
bring
that
with
them
managerial
experience,
fiscally
conservative
both
are
really
important
and
I
really
think
they
should
be
even-tempered
willing
to
sit
through
8
to
10
meetings,
and
maybe
it's
time
for
a
woman
who
appreciates
diversity.
E
B
F
We
should
start
always
having
online
rental
reservation
for
a
city
meetings
and
payment
system.
So
far,
people
have
to
come
into
the
Quinlan
Center
to
make
a
reservation,
and
we
should
have
online
submission
of
business
licenses
and
all
the
other
business
services
and
online
reporting
and
status
report
of
all
the
service
needs
like
roads,
repair
and
last
but
not
least,
I'll
open
town
hall
meetings
on
important
issues
where
this
year
we
have
improved.
We
have
done
some
survey
on
dog
parks
and
health
text.
F
However,
the
most
important
issue
like
of
alcohol
shopping
mall,
there
has
been
no
survey
or
white
survey
of
all
the
citizens.
We
should
not.
It
should
not
take
a
referendum
to
get
all
the
citizens
involved
in
this
most
important
conversation
which
might
affect
20-30
years,
the
future
of
Cupertino,
and
we
can.
Of
course
we
can
involve
a
lot
more
social
media
and
we
can
do
as
with
the
senior
citizens
we
can
deliver
a
lot
of
services
through
digital
and
to
the
senior
citizens
and
our
children.
Okay.
Thank
you.
Okay,.
B
G
H
H
The
ways
we
could
do
this
online
polling
polling
through
texts,
Santa
Clara,
County
safety
text
alerts
and
I
would
personally
want
to
send
out
email
newsletters
from
my
council
office,
and
this
is
something
I
have
experienced
doing
and
as
new
technology
evolves,
we
have
to
ensure
that
technology
is
compatible
with
our
right
to
privacy.
Privacy
is
a
basic
civil
civil
liberty.
I'd
want
to
protect.
B
I
Hung
way
thanks
Phil
and
we
live
in
innovation
and
technology,
advanced
cities,
so
I
am
all
about
advocating
for
private
and
public
collaboration,
so
our
city
can
really
engage
young
people.
People
who
work
for
Apple
and
really
have
this
technology
notifications
you
right
now
we
have
postcards
and
we
have
website-
is
all
pretty
passive.
So
in
order
to
have
town
halls
that
people
really
attend,
we
need
to
reach
to
people.
So,
let's
the
city
have
a
plan
to
for
technology.
Expansion
employ
young
people
and
work
with
our
biggest
employer
Apple.
I
To
get
this
technology
out
there
and
establish
a
real
communication
channel,
that's
blended,
that's
organized,
so
we
can
reach
every
corner
of
the
Reston's
and
we
want
to
have
town
hall
meetings
movie
Amanda
get
informations
out.
We
are
organized
so
that
residents
are
notified,
e-bike
host,
postcards
and
also
by
the
technology
that
we
are
can
employ.
Thank
you
all.
J
So
I
really
see
that
technology
could
play
a
huge
role
in
bringing
Cupertino
into
the
21st
century.
We
have
so
many
residents
and
they're,
not
aware
of
all
the
things
and
all
the
decisions
that
are
being
made
in
the
city
by
getting
a
pulse
of
all
those
residents
that
are
out
there,
putting
it
on
the
city
website.
J
Let
there
be
no
mistake
about
it,
what
the
residents
are
in
favor
of
and
what
they're,
not
in
favor
of
by
utilizing
this
combination
of
surveys
and
other
mechanisms
to
get
the
resident
opinions
on
traffic
schools,
development,
building
heights
densities.
This
is
all
of
our
community
and
we
should
all
be
in
the
decision
process
making
Cupertino
the
most
connected
community
in
the
Bay
Area,
bring
it
into
the
21st
century.
Thank
you.
Thank.
B
B
C
It's
it's
interesting
when
I
look
back
at
the
nine
years,
I
was
on
the
council
I.
Actually,
there's
only
one
there's
only
one
decision
that
that
we
didn't
make
that
I
think
we
should
have
other
than
that.
I
think
that
we
made
a
lot
of
good
decisions.
We
revitalized
all
of
the
shopping,
centers
save
one,
and
we
did
blackberry
farm
and,
of
course,
Apple
Park,
so
Main
Street,
Main
Street
started
with
a
Town
Square,
and
then
they
put
some
kiosks
in
there.
C
That
kind
of
grew
into
you
know,
fills
and
window
juice
so
and
it
doesn't
feel
like
a
Town
Square
anymore.
So
if
I
could
roll
back
the
clock,
I
would
have
that
be
a
real
Town
Square,
because
originally
that
was
my
vision
for
it,
but
that's
the
main
one
other
than
that
I
think
everything
else
turned
out
pretty
good
good.
Thank
you.
Oren,
okay,.
D
Darcy
thanks
Phil,
no
I,
don't
regret
what
I
consider
sometimes
bad
decisions.
I
I,
regret
more
bad
process.
I
think
we
really
need
to
be
able
to
bring
some
civility
and
our
discussion
and
acceptance
that
you
know
we're
not
always
going
to
get
everything.
We
want
every
single
time,
but
I'll
give
you
as
an
example
of
a
building
that
would
be
good
to
redesign.
We
had
a
city
hall
plan
and
that
I
think
was
something
that
didn't
necessarily
have
full
community
button
buy-in
and
we
do
have
a
second
bite
at
that
Apple.
D
At
this
point,
if
tier
2
goes
through
with
the
Valco
plan,
but
possibly
even
in
the
future,
we
can
take
a
look
at
some
of
the
elements
of
the
architectural
design
and
also
try
to
figure
out.
You
know
what
would
be
a
bit
more
appropriate
for
for
our
community
I.
Think
that
it's
critically
important
to
take
decisions
that
you
don't
necessarily
agree
with
and
do
your
best
in
in
good
faith
to
you
know,
come
out
with
the
best
outcomes
for
the
community.
D
E
It's
been
an
interesting
four
years
and
I
have
given
lots
of
thought
to
every
agenda
item.
That's
come
across
done
a
lot
of
research
homework
before
I
took
any
decision.
There
is
one
thing
that
happened
in
my
year
as
mayor
and
I
considered
doing
a
Citizens,
Advisory
Committee,
similar
to
what
was
done
at
Lynbrook,
and
there
was
a
lot
of
pushback
from
a
one
segment
of
the
community
and
some
name-calling
on
the
Dyess
and
it
was
watered
down.
So
I
tried
a
different
process.
E
E
We
had
had
a
little
bit
more
community
input
on
and
one
of
the
things
that
I
would
have
done
different
if
I
had
an
opportunity
is
the
area
behind
De,
Anza,
Boulevard
and
town
center
lane,
where
you
have
bittersweet
curry
house,
that's
a
housing
and
retail
complex,
maybe
made
that
into
a
more
downtown
accessible
by
bike
and
walk
easy
to
say.
Now,
though,
okay.
B
F
I've
been
talking
to
residents
and
the
biggest
concern
of
everyone
is
traffic,
traffic
and
traffic,
and
so
with
traffic.
I
think
the
the
first
thing
is
don't
bringing
more
car
and
but
then
the
current
situation
is
already
a
lot
worse
than
before.
So
I
would
like
to
see
shadow
passes
for
seniors
and
children
and
started
with
serving
initialization
routes,
and
we
should
we
can
here.
A
F
G
G
We
found
that
in
this
state,
then
it
guides
a
student
toward
health
care
or
toward
a
future
what
what
they
may
be
wishing
to
do
for
the
rest
of
their
life,
and
it
makes
a
huge
impact
on
our
students
and
I
would
love
to
play
a
huge
part
in
role
in
and
funding
those
programs
and
pushing
those
programs.
Another
one
real
briefly
is
I
would
love
to
be
a
part
of
what
I've
said.
G
Many
many
times
is
bringing
business
back
into
our
region,
be
it
small
business
and
some
good
paying
job
business
for
our
future,
because
when
we
do
have
a
down,
we're
gonna
be
hoping.
We
did
have
a
lot
more
and
ultimately,
we
will
have
will
experience
one
as
we
have
over
the
past
many
many
years.
Thank
you.
H
You
well
three
key
initiatives:
I'd
want
to
champion
one
citywide
shuttles
to
proactive
city
planning
and
three
reducing
our
greenhouse
gas
emissions
for
citywide
shuttles
I
push
for
a
TM,
a
model
which
offers
free
fares
for
residents
and
our
neighboring
cities.
For
instance,
Mountain
View
have
found
this
model
successful
and
we
can
even
look
to
partner
with
them
to
connect
us
to
local
transit
stops
in
terms
of
City
Planning
I'd
want
to
champion
as
stricter
jobs
to
housing
balance
in
our
zoning.
We
can't
continually
approve
more
jobs
than
housing.
H
That's
what
put
us
in
this
housing
crisis
to
begin
with,
I
think
we
have
to
look
to
see
if
there
any
holes
in
our
general
plan.
Under
the
environment,
we
can
look
to
fund
more
EB
charging
stations
and
also
I'd
want
to
work
with
our
planning
department
to
see
if
we
could
phase
out
natural
gas
and
new
construction.
Okay,.
I
Letting
your
school
board
I
understand
that
the
top
priority
for
any
public
agency
is
to
maintain
our
fiscal
health
and
also
to
decide
what
are
our
top
priorities
on
spending
shows
what
I
look
at
our
city,
I
would
first
learn
our
tackle.
Is
the
library
parking
issues
we
need
more
space
for
library,
parking
and
more
space
for
our
programming
for
our
students
and
also
part
land
acquisition,
any
land
we
can
require
for
our
Park
and
Recreation
I.
I
Think
that
would
be
an
asset
for
our
community
and
bite
in
pedestrian
walkways
and
to
connect
the
cities
that
we
talk
priorities
for
the
our
own
cities.
However,
traffic
issues
is
regional,
so
another
priority
is
to
devise
a
plan
to
really
have
a
big
Sun
of
money
that
we
can
work
with
our
neighboring
cities
to
eventually
have
a
real
transit
system.
That's
going
to
transit,
connect,
job
and
housing
together
all
the
way
from
San
Jose
to
Santa,
Clara,
to
Cupertino,
to
Sunnyvale
to
month
view
and
back
to
their
town
station.
J
So
what
I
would
see
is
the
most
in
important
one
pertains
to
how
our
city
is
being
changed
in
the
last
several
years,
there's
been
a
huge
push
to
change
our
city
and
it's
not
being
driven
by
the
residents
it's
being
driven
by
the
developers.
Our
general
plan
needs
to
be
made
much
tighter
than
it
is
now,
but
it
needs
to
represent
what
the
residents
want.
J
The
general
plan
can
set
the
requirements
to
keep
from
having
too
much
traffic
increase
too
much
enrollment
increase,
and
we
and
above
all
now
that
the
state
is
getting
involved
in
passing
laws
like
the
SB
35.
If
we
don't
want
to
be
manipulated
by
this
stuff,
we
need
to
lock
that
general
plan
and
clearly
make
it
represent
what
the
residents
want.
J
B
Thank
you
John
now.
This
next
question
is
gonna,
be
for
everybody
and
we're
gonna
go
backwards
and
we're
gonna
start
with
John,
and
this
question
I'm
interested
in
the
fact
that
all
of
you
have
traveled.
Have
you
seen
any
examples
of
new
urban
design
ideas
that
you
would
love
to
bring
back
or
to
see
in
cupertino
examples
in
other
cities,
other
countries
John
well.
J
Yes,
there
are
places
that
do
have
a
lot
more
land
than
we
have
here
places
where
a
lot
of
the
houses
don't
even
have
to
have
fences
between
them
and
that's
wonderful
years
ago
one
of
the
vendors
that
was
out
seeing
me-
and
he
said
wow
the
weather
is
so
good
out
here
and
I
said
wow.
Well.
Why
don't
you
look
around
while
you're
out
here
and
he
says
no,
he
says
back
home.
There's
no
fences,
there's
lots
of
land.
J
So
we
need
to
understand
that
we
are
limited
by
what
we
have
to
work
with,
but
we
don't
want
it
to
be
just
chaos.
We
want
well-planned
long-term
planning,
how
much
traffic
can
our
roads
truly
carry,
and
we
cannot
allow
that
to
be
saturated
and
we
can't
use
it
all
up
today,
because
there
needs
to
be
growth
next
year,
the
year
after
in
the
year
after
long
term,
planning
very
well-thought-out
planning
and
that's
how
Cupertino
got
to
be
the
the
city
that
we
all
came
to
want
to
live
in.
Okay,.
B
I
Singapore
is
one
of
our
you
know
model
we
can
follow.
It
has
long
term
vision
when
they
build
your
city.
It
used
the
most
innovative
architecture
and
then
made
us
green
space
areas
that
thrive
among
the
housing
and
unique
ways
of
managing
their
waste,
and
also
they
create
partly
self-sufficient
towns.
That's
what
exactly
what
we
can
do
in
val
co-create,
a
self,
partly
selfish
and
efficient
towns.
I
That's
going
to
really
enhance
our
quality
of
life
and
not
a
burden,
our
armed
resources
and
also
they
embrace
the
most
modern
technology,
and
last
thing
I
really
like
what
they
do.
Is
they
prioritize
housing
to
accommodate,
affordable
housing?
So
I
think
that's
a
model
that
we
can
follow
even
green
space.
E
English,
thank
you,
so
I
visited
Japan
and
Lisbon
in
the
last
four
years.
Five
years
and
I
learned
something
from
both
the
cities
definitely
having
mass
transit
and
having
solutions
for
last
mile.
First
mile
is
really
important.
That
way,
you
can
reduce
your
greenhouse
gas
emissions
significantly
by
reducing
people
in
single
occupancy
vehicles
and
the
fact
that
you
can
get
to
places
very
faster.
So
that
was
a
wonderful
experience
in
Tokyo
connecting
to
other
cities.
What
I
noticed
in
Lisbon.
They
also
have
an
ocean
on
one
side
very
similar
to
us.
E
B
H
Looking
for
the
best
practices
that
we
can
occur
incorporate
so
Cupertino
can
lead
the
way
one
of
the
best
experiences
of
my
life
was
travelling
as
a
student
ambassador
as
part
of
our
sister
cities,
exchange
to
toya
cow
Japan,
so
some
things
I've
seen
successful,
greenways
that
allow
for
put
foot
and
bicycle
paths
also
urban
plazas,
especially
if
you
think
of
la
ramblas
in
barcelona
that
are
central
pedestrianised
areas
and
I
think
on
a
much
smaller
scale.
We
can
look
at
doing
this
at
Valka
with
outdoor
dining
foot
traffic
vendors.
H
Lastly,
countries
in
northwestern
Europe
are
really
leading
the
way
in
solar-powered
bike
paths
that
light
up
at
night,
so
they're
littered
with
these
mosaic
chips
that
absorb
light
during
the
day
and
transfer
into
blue
and
green
mosaic
chips
at
night,
and
some
of
these
paths
resemble
artworks
and
they're,
really
quite
beautiful.
So
maybe
if
we
could
do
that
one
day
in
Cupertino,
I
think
that
would
look
amazing
right.
B
D
Think
we
need
to
aim
for
iconic,
inspirational
and
functional.
Looking
back
on
the
Valco
space,
given
the
fact
that
we
now
have
probably
the
most
iconic
inspirational
and
functional
corporate
space
in
the
rolled
within
our
borders,
that's
completely
inaccessible
to
the
public.
I
think
we
need
to
step
it
up
and
deliver
something
that
is
equivalent
to
that
in
a
public
space,
something
that
the
the
public
can
access
I've
never
been
to
Australia
I'd
love
to
go
there,
but
when
I,
look
at
the
Sydney,
Opera,
House
I
think
that's
just
something
that
really
fits
the
bill.
D
I
found
an
unfortunate
that
I
was
the
only
person
doing
pro
formas
and
that
we
ended
up
granting
the
developer
roughly
seven
hundred
million
dollars
in
additional
monetary
benefit
over
our
SP
35
project,
and
we
are
rounding
up
to
the
nearest
hundred
million
only
extracting
one
hundred
million
dollars
of
benefits
from
that.
So
I
would
say
you
know,
use
that
leverage
you
know
get
something
in
there.
D
I,
don't
generally
agree
with
putting
a
Performing
Arts
Center
in
there,
because
I
think
that
there
are
some
issues
with
dumping
a
couple
or
a
few
million
dollars
into
it.
Every
year,
going
forward
financially
I'd
love
to
see
you
know
being
from
Kansas
City.
We
turn
Union
Station,
which
is
a
train
station
into
science
city,
which
is
a
bit
of
a
combination
of
our
local
San,
Francisco
Exploratorium
and
the
San
Jose
Children's
Discovery
Museum.
D
C
So
most
of
my
most
of
my
travels
over
the
past
few
years
have
been
with
rotary
and
it's
big
cities
and
rural
villages.
So
there's
not
any
examples
in
either
place
that
I
would
like
to
bring
back,
but
you
don't
have
to
travel
very
far
to
have
an
example
of
an
innovative
urban
design
project
we
had
one
two
years
ago
it
was
called
the
hills
at
BALCO.
C
G
But
I
I
talked
slow,
so
one
city
we
had
a
residence
in
was
Elk,
Grove
and
and
I
played
a
part
in
in
some
of
the
configuring
of
the
bike
trails
which
I'm
huge,
the
hiking
trails,
I
think
it's
humongous
and
it
did
was
forth
I
ahead
of
time
to
go
in
and
make
plans
for
these
programs
for
the
people
and
it
it's
great
and
the
parks
are
wonderful.
A
couple
weeks
ago,
I
had
toured
with
city
officials
up
in
the
city
of
East
Palo
Alto.
G
Many
of
us
remember
way
back
what
that
city
was
like
and
it's
the
most
fascinating
thing
to
see
what
has
happened
with
that
city
and
it
did
take
a
lot
of
money
in
a
lot
of
proper
planning
to
put
unbelievable
parks
and-
and
everything
was
just
well
thought
out
and
I
I'm
very
impressed
with
those
two
cities
because
they
came
from
nowhere
and
now
they
are
something
and,
and
they
have
something
to
be
proud
of,
and
something
that's
usable
for.
The
people
Thank
You,
Kenneth
young.
It's.
F
An
interesting
question:
Cupertino
is
a
suburban
town.
We
are
close
to
urban
cities,
but
we
are
in
the
next
20
or
30
years.
We
are
never
going
to
be
the
urban
city,
so
there
are
urban
designs
we
might
use,
but
we
need
to
be
careful
to
not
bring
in
things
like
heels
at
Valpo,
which
will
be
great
at
San
Jose
downtown,
but
in
Cupertino
that
will
bring
too
much
tension
traffic
and
we
don't
have
that
infrastructure
to
support.
F
I
have
lived
in
Germany
for
two
years
and
I
I
lived
in
Taipei
and
I
go
back
to
Taiwan
and
Shanghai
area
every
year,
so
visiting
a
place
is
very
different
from
living
there.
When
I
lived
in
Munich,
we
moved
into
the
suburban
area
of
Munich,
but
within
three
months
we
sold
our
car.
Why?
It's?
Because
they
had,
they
have
such
good
transit
system.
That
was
20
years
ago,
such
a
good
transit
system.
F
It
can
get
me
to
the
hospitals
to
every
Oh
everything
that
I
need
access
to,
so
I
didn't
need
the
car
and
also
the
transistor
had
was
full
of
shops
and
then
I.
They
have
20
years
ago.
They
had
clocks
that
can
tell
me
that
bus
will
be
coming
in
20
minutes,
so
I
could
go
shop
and
then
pick
up
all
the
girls
race
get
home.
I
have
everything
done,
but
that
infrastructure
is
not
here.
We
want
shops
and
transit
stops
like
local,
okay,.
B
Thank
You
Leon,
you
know
I
think
it's
interesting
that
we
have
Jim
Jackson
in
the
audience
and
whoever
wins
will
be
following
in
his
footsteps.
But
when
Jim
Jackson
was
mayor
and
on
the
city
council,
they
were
talking
about
developing
the
first
Valco
and
here
only
in
California.
Would
we
be
talking
about
tearing
it
down
in
only
40
years
and
so
I
think
it
helps
all
of
us
to
pay
attention
to
what's
going
on
and
being
done
outside
of
our
own
borders.
B
So
the
next
question
I'm
going
to
mix
this
up
against
so
there'll,
be
two
separate
questions
for
the
group
and
again
I'm
going
to
ask
Orin,
Darcy
and
Savita
to
answer
this
question.
Is
there
given
your
knowledge
of
regional
government?
Is
there
a
particular
role
that
you
think
you
could
lead
on
behalf
of
Cupertino
and
or
and
I'll
start
with
you
yeah.
C
Clearly
of
the
regional
agencies-
and
there
are
a
lot
of
them
that
are
important,
but
obviously
VTA,
given
a
traffic
is
probably
the
biggest
issue
in
cupertino
VTA
would
be
the
one
we're
lucky
to
have
an
actual
representative
on
there.
I
was
on
the
Advisory
Committee
before
I'm,
really
on
traffic.
Looking
at
some
really
future
types
of
things
that
we'll
have
you
know
in
the
next
10
or
20
years,
it's
not
light
rail
and
it's
not
some
of
the
other
things
that
that
people
have
been
talking
about.
C
D
I
would
say
my
as
mayor
this
year.
My
approach
has
been
to
try
to
give
my
fellow
council
members
the
assignments
that
they
want.
So
you
know
from
a
collaborative
perspective.
What
I
try
to
do
is,
you
know,
really
establish
the
functional
groundwork,
for
you
know,
making
people
essentially
happy,
but
for
VTA
I
agree
that
we
need
to
step
up
our
involvement
on
it.
It's
something
that
we
really
need
to
look
at
in
terms
of
getting
good
transit
Deardon
station
is
our
local
connector.
D
It
would
be
wonderful
if
we
could
go
under
Stevens
Creek
in
San,
Carlos
I
think
that
there
is
buy-in
on
that
and
it's
going
to
take
a
lot
of
you
know
very
serious
discussions
and
thinking
and
intelligent.
You
know
connection
making
the
joint
powers
authority
I
was
on
that
last
year
for
our
County
Library
we
were
able
to
get
some
expanded
hours.
That
was
great.
We
should
stay
involved
with
that,
and
we
will,
because
we
have
a
seat,
and
it
would
be
great
to
see
the
library
expansion
in
terms
of
getting
that
additional
programming
space.
D
One
thing
that
we
haven't
really
participated
in
of
late
is
the
local
agency
formation
committee.
I.
Think
Cupertino
is
presence
on.
That
would
be
good.
It
would
show
the
region
that
we
have
a
stake
in
what
happens
with
regard
to
the
the
changing
of
borders
and
whatnot
of
when
these
types
of
discussions
are
arising.
Perfect.
E
You
so
Cupertino
is
no
longer
suburbia.
We
have
two
80
and
85
running
through
us
and
Stevens
Creek
corridor.
So
it's
really
important
to
address
traffic
and
wheat.
Here
is
one
of
the
answers.
I
was
on
VTA
pack
for
two
years
and
then
I
was
elected
by
four
other
West
Valley
mayors
to
be
on
the
board.
That
is
an
election
done
by
other
mayors,
it's
not
assigned
within
our
city,
so
we
need
to
try
and
keep
that
seat
going
forward
as
much
as
possible
being
on
the
board.
B
J
J
J
That
is
a
huge
indicator
that
we
need
to
be
reaching
out
to
the
community.
If,
if
our
local
government
is
not
representing
the
residents,
that's
a
huge
problem.
Our
elected
officials
are
here
for
the
residents,
not
another
agenda,
and
so
ask
yourself:
do
you
feel
that
you
were
well
informed
about
Valco?
Do
you
feel
that
you
are
well
informed
about
the
Oaks?
Do
you
feel
you
understand?
What's
going
on
with
the
SB
35
ask
yourself
that
and
then
say
what
about
my
neighbors?
Yes,
Cupertino
is
far
behind
in
getting
resident
engagement,
okay,.
I
I
said
I
said:
for
used
technology,
we
can
really
have
formalize
a
yeah,
important
young
people's
and
getting
to
technology.
You
know
there
are
a
lot
of
things
are
next
door
and
we
chad
week
I
think
the
city
could
get
in
there
there
and
then
just
give
unjust
getting
phone
information
out
there.
However,
knocking
doors
yes
I'm
doing
that
every
day
and
every
weekend
is
actually
the
most
response.
I
heard
from
people
is
it's
about
time
to
move
velcro
forward
and
I
understand.
A
lot
of
people
have
their
own
jobs,
their
own
family.
I
Our
residents
want
to
enjoy
their
quality
of
life
and
just
have
their
family
life.
So
not
many
people,
they
want
to
be
informed,
but
they
also
want
empower
our
city
councils
to
make
informed
and
good
decisions.
Yes,
town
hall
meetings,
that's
where
in
phone
get
engaged
people
that's
very
important,
but
it's
also
important
for
the
council
members
to
be
were
informed
and
then
talk
to
residents
and
use
that
as
a
platform
to
make
decisions
informed
decisions.
So
there
is
a
lot
of
misinformation.
I
H
You
well
I
think
our
city
can
be
doing
a
better
job
of
actively
engaging
residents
before
a
decisions
made
and
then,
when
a
decisions
made
transparently
providing
facts
and
reasoning
behind
it.
It's
okay
to
disagree,
but
decisions
should
be
made
transparently.
As
for
social
media
I,
don't
think
we're
doing
as
much
as
we
can.
As
someone
who
has
hands-on
community
outreach
experience,
I
know
what
works
and
doesn't
work
I
think
we're
doing
a
great
job
of
utilizing
next
door
and
sending
city
wide
blasts,
but
our
social
media
posts
can
be
more
interactive.
H
For
instance,
I
read
I
appreciated
the
recent
poll
on
the
citywide
shuttle
which
allowed
residents
to
weigh
in
on
potential
routes
it
could
take
as
a
City
Councilmember
I'd
want
to
supervise
a
City
Council
internship
program,
which
is
something
I
have
experience
doing
and
I
think
a
lot
of
students
would
be
able
to
think
of
even
more
creative
ways
to
engage
residents
on
social
media.
Thank.
G
Like
the
idea
of
town
hall
meetings,
because
I
love
to
talk
to
people
and
I'd
love
to
hear
what
they
had
to
say,
but
I
still
believe
that
there's
a
lot
of
technology
out
there
that
we're
not
using
we're
pestering
people
with
with
vote
for
me
text.
But
why
can't
we
give
people
information
the
same
way
so
get
out
there
with
the
information?
But
yet,
as
a
council
member,
you
need
to
be
available
24/7
when
people
call
or
when
they
when
they
email
you
or
when
they
call
your
cell
phone.
G
You
know,
just
as
all
of
us
that
run
businesses
are
available,
you
need
to
be
available
to
talk
to
people
and
tell
them
what's
going
on
a
lot
of
people.
Don't
understand
today
what's
going
on
at
Valco,
so
they
have
no
clue
so
in
the
end,
you're
never
gonna
have
everybody
happy,
but
at
least
make
sure
they're
informed
and
there's
a
lot
of
technology
that
I
would
work
to
make
sure
that
they
receive.
They
received
things
that
go
on
24/7,
I.
F
I
see
that
there
are
council
members
tend
to
reach
out
during
the
election
year,
but
then
after
they
get
elected,
often
it's
very
hard
to
get
in
touch
with
them
unless
you're
in
their
club
in
their
parent
group
in
their
neighborhood
group.
So
we
do
need
council
members
who
listen
to
everyone
from
different
region
in
Cupertino.
How
do
we
facilitate
that?
Besides
social
media
I?
Think
we
also
need
them?
Maybe
neighborhood
meetings
regularly
throughout
the
four
years
that
a
council
member
is
in
service
and
in
terms
of
social
media.
F
The
city
does
use
next
door,
but
it's
a
one-way
communication
right
now
the
city
post,
something
but
then
there
is
no
interaction,
so
I,
since
I
get
involved
with
the
city,
I've
been
our
next
door
and
even
though
now
I'm
a
candidate
I
am
still
continuing
to
be
our
next
door
because
that's
actually
the
place
where
I
learned
a
lot
from
a
lot
of
residents
who
have
various
different
viewpoints.
I
think
we
do
need
council
members
who
use
social
media
to
gather
information.
Maybe
the
city
staff
can
help
summarize
the
information.
Okay.
B
Thank
you
now,
I've
got
a
couple
questions.
That's
going
to
be
for
all
and
I'm
looking
for
a
yes
or
no
answer.
Only
I
warn
you
in
advance.
It's
going
to
be
frustrating
for
you,
because
these
are
tough
topics
and
I'm
going
to
start
with
Leon.
But
my
question
is:
are
you
in
favor
of
the
referendum
against
the
Valco
specific
plan?
Yes
or
no.
F
B
G
B
B
B
B
Well,
good,
you
all
got
through
that
very
well.
Thank
you.
So
now
personally,
I
think
it's
always
interesting
to
know
what
it
cost
to
run
for
office
or
to
get
elected
in
Cupertino.
So
my
question
for
all
of
you
is
and
again
I'm
just
looking
for
an
approximate
number
at
this
point,
how
much
of
each
of
you
raised
in
your
campaign
and
I'm
gonna
start
with
you,
John.
B
B
B
B
F
B
Good
good,
well,
I
appreciate
your
honesty
and
your
answers
next
question
and
to
keep
it
interesting,
I'm
going
to
just
ask
for
people
this
question
and
then
move
on
to
the
next
four
with
another
question,
and
so
I'll
go
alphabetically
and
so
Liang
Tim
or
Anand
Darcy.
What
would
be
your
top
capital
expenditure
priority?
A
B
F
I
first
will
be
the
library
expansion
and
we
also
need
to
introduce
traffic
team
and
mention
management
for
the
city,
employees.
That
will
help
with
the
traffic
problem
and
then
I'm
hope
also
hoping
that
we
will
have
small
library
branches
on
different,
citing
Cupertino,
possibly
partnering,
with
the
schools
to
use
some
school
classrooms
and
I
would
I
would
like
to
have
a
network
of
safe
bike
paths
and
the
pedestrian
walkways
perfect.
B
G
Some
of
mine
would
be
seeking
funds
from
state
and
federal
government,
as
I've
done
in
the
past,
to
upgrade
the
walkways
for
the
handicapped
and
disabled
people,
which
the
city
is
in
dire
need
of
it's
a
disaster,
and
there
are
a
lot
of
funds
that
we
could
get
out
that
we
could
get
outside
of
using
internal
funds
internally.
I
would
love
to
see
upgraded
schools
and
bringing
our
parks
from
the
1960s
bring
them
into
the
new
realm.
G
C
C
The
second
thing
is
that
Park
master
plan,
just
especially
Memorial
Park,
that
could
use
some
major
capital
improvements,
but
the
third
thing
is
something
new
and
if
we're
looking
at
short
term
traffic
types
of
things,
I've
been
to
some
seminars
and
some
things
like
that
to
look
at
intelligence
traffic
signals.
So
that's
an
infrastructure
thing
that
would
cause
traffic
lights
to
understand
and
real
I'm
how
to
best
manage
traffic
and
I
think
there'd
be
a
very
interesting
project.
Thank
you.
D
B
H
Well,
Cupertino
is
financially
stable
and
we
have
been
for
the
LES
last
several
years,
because
our
city
revenues
have
outpaced
expenditures,
we're
not
a
full-service
city,
but
we
get
a
lot
done
about.
Half
of
our
budget
is
reserves
in
surplus
and
that's
good.
We
need
the
rainy
day
funds,
because
by
2025
our
expenditures
are
projected
to
exceed
revenues,
because
our
growth
in
sales,
tax
and
property
tax
is
projected
to
go
down.
Lastly,
it
was
recently
revealed
that
a
former
city
accountant
was
embezzling
hundreds
of
thousands
of
dollars
from
the
city.
This
is
obviously
unacceptable.
E
You
for
the
question
we
actually
have
been
a
fiscally
prudent
city
and
I'm,
proud
of
that,
and
our
budgets
indicate
that
we
are
a
stable
City.
Our
population
and
city
staff
have
grown
gradually
over
the
last
ten
years,
but
we
still
have
only
about
three
employees
per
thousand
residents,
which
is
a
little
higher
than
where
it
was,
but
we
need
to
be
there
so
that
we
serve
all
our
residents.
E
Our
revenues
are
split
about
25
percent,
each
from
sales,
tax,
property,
tax
and
cost
of
services,
but
the
balance
of
25
to
about
28
percent
is
transit,
occupancy
taxes
and
other
taxes.
We
do
have
a
disproportionate
dependency
on
Apple,
so
one
of
the
things
we
do
need
to
encourage
us
have
diversity
of
employers,
but
since
Apple
is
performing
well
I,
don't
think
we
need
to
expect
any
hiccups.
E
We
should
be
also
looking
at
property
taxes
that
are
linked
to
property
values
in
terms
of
when
the
property
changes
hands.
What
do
we
get
both
in
terms
of
commercial,
okay
I'm
down
to
it?
But
we
also
have
a
section
115
trust
for
our
pension
liabilities.
So
we
are
have
a
good
reserve.
So
we
are
financially
similar.
Thank.
I
Again,
one
of
the
major
responsibilities
for
any
electrofisher
is
to
make
sure
the
agency
he
or
she
serves
is
fiscally
health,
and
so
a
big
reserved
for
rainy
day
is
a
must
and
I
think
our
city
is
doing
very
well
in
that
part
and
again
attract
another
major
employer.
Yes,
like
Savita
says
we
have
Apple
and
that's
great,
but
helps
involve
alcohol.
Specific
plan
actually
has
a
chance
to
attract
another
major
employer
into
our
region.
That's
going
to
you
know,
give
us
a
little
more
stability
and
also
support
our
local
businesses.
I
We
need
to
support
our
local
business
so
that
we
make
sure
that
our
tax
revenues
are
steady
and
another
thing
I
think
we
can
really
do.
Is
you
know
make
sure
when,
when
our
property
tax
value
goes
down,
that's
when
our
you
know
our
money's
going
down.
We
need
to
take
care
of
our
residents
by
really
provide
them
with
quality
of
life,
but
not
spending
a
lot
of
money.
We
can
do
partner
creation
activities
like
what
the
park
erection
right
now
and
really
make
our
residents
enjoy
the
neighborhood.
I
J
They
have
to
compensate
for
the
school
classrooms
that
are
needed,
no
more
just
building
more
bringing
in
more
residents
more
students,
and
then
we
as
a
city
wind,
up
pulling
more
portable
classrooms
into
the
playground.
It's
wrong.
We
need
to
not
using
our
money
to
compensate
for
that.
They
should
be
putting
those
classrooms
to
accommodate
the
number
of
children
that
they're
generating
and
the
impacts
of
the
roads
that
are
being
impacted
by
them.
J
B
The
next
question
in
fact,
I'll
announce
the
next
two
questions
in
advance
and
again
it's
going
to
be
four
and
four
and
I'll
start
with
Leong
on
the
first
one,
but
the
first
question
for
the
first
four
people
will
be
if
I
were
to
say,
inclusive
playground,
an
urban
design
phrase
if
I
were
to
say
inclusive
playground.
What
would
that
mean
to
you
and
then
the
second
question
is
going
to
be,
our
population
is
aging
and
how
would
you
recommend
that
we
improve
access
to
city
services?
So
the
first
question
we
are
so.
F
Inclusive
playground
is:
we
provide
different
facilities
that
accommodate
people
with
disability,
space
people
with
mobility
issues
and
to
me
that
we
should
also
include
playground
facilities
for
senior
citizens,
I've
seen
playground
waste
spatial
exercise
and
things
that
especially
designed
for
adults.
So.
B
G
So
I-I've
had
the
opportunity
to
visit
a
lot
of
playgrounds
and
enjoyed
looking
at
some
of
the
new
technology
that
they
have
out
there
and
again,
when
you
go
around
I
could
take
you
around
to
some
of
the
some
of
the
areas
here
that
are
just
unbelievable,
they're
not
up
to
snuff,
so
we're
not
accommodating
not
only
the
young
but
the
elderly.
So
there's
a
lot
of
areas
we
could.
We
could
involve
fixing
and
coming
up
with
a
master
plan
for
the
playgrounds
that
would
involve
inviting
the
seniors
and
and
make
it
more
user
friendly.
G
C
C
You
know
with
my
time,
especially
last
year,
its
district
governor
for
rotary
I
had
a
chance
to
see
a
couple
of
great
examples
that
one
is
obviously
the
big
one
that
San
Jose
rotary
did
in
downtown.
There
that's
a
landmark
one
where
they
spent
like
a
million
millions
of
dollars,
but
then
there's
one
in
Santa
Cruz.
It's
I
think
they
just
did
the
groundbreaking
a
couple
weeks
ago
called
Leos
Haven
and
it's
a
similar
type
of
thing
and
the
interesting
thing
there
they
did
a
put
it
on
Facebook
and
I.
C
B
D
An
inclusive
playground
to
me,
because
I
have
a
six
year
old
and
a
four
year
old,
with
our
my
wife
Sharon.
We
have
gone
to
these
playgrounds,
the
one
in
Palo
Alto,
the
magical
bridge
foundation,
playground
as
well
as
the
Rotary
Park
in
San
Jose.
To
me
it
means
a
really
nice
playground.
You
know
just
one
that
in
all
design
aspects
just
caters
to
all
these
different
parts
of
a
child's
imagination
and
how
they
can
engage
with
the
surroundings.
D
So
for
me
it
means
upholding
some
of
our
societal
values
in
the
sense
that
when
we
really
strive-
and
we
aspire
to
be
able
to
include
as
many
people
as
possible,
we
can
come
out
with
better
product.
But
of
course,
that's
not
inexpensive.
It's
something
that
takes
resources
in
time
to
design
out.
Okay,.
B
H
My
work
and
passion
is
constituent
services
and
connecting
folks
to
the
different
city
services
they
may
need
so
as
a
councilman
I'll
be
personally
handling
handling
my
own
constituent
caseload.
So
anyone
is
free
to
reach
out
to
me.
I
know
we
don't
have
a
separate
department
for
that
staff
usually
incorporates
it
in
their
own
work.
I'd
also
want
to
review
of
various
city
departments
to
see
if
there's
service
level
difference
by
area
and
I'd
want
to
be
attentive
to
any
resident
complaints
and
investigate
any
discrepancies.
There.
H
E
You
it
was
my
platform.
The
first
time
I
ran
was
to
help
seniors,
and
one
of
the
things
I've
been
doing
in
the
last
four
years
is
to
try
to
get
services
to
them,
which
they
cannot
otherwise
access
and
one
of
the
programs
was
write,
curb
to
curb
transportation,
with
the
help
of
VTA
County
and
for
other
West
Valley
mayors,
and
that
seniors
truly
appreciate
that,
because
they
don't
really
are
they're
not
comfortable
using
the
smartphones.
E
Other
services
that
we
need
to
get
to
them
is
especially
when
it
comes
to
medical
food
services,
and
that
is
again
something
I've
been
working
with
the
senior
community
because
they
do
not
have
other
accesses
that
the
rest
of
the
population
have
and
if
I
could
briefly
talk
about
the
inclusive
playground,
I'm,
really
hoping
that
rotary
joins
the
city
in
doing
the
inclusive
playground,
because
we
are
moving
in
forward.
We
worked
on
a
grant,
and
hopefully
we
will
get
that.
Thank
you.
Thank.
I
J
So
for
the
aging
population,
having
just
kind
of
gone
through
that
being
going
through
that
with
my
mom
as
they
age
as
we
all
age,
our
worlds
get
smaller
and
smaller
and
I
feel
the
key
to
longevity
is
making
sure
they
have
exciting
things
to
do
finding
those
things
is
a
challenge:
let's
provide
more
of
that
information
to
them
because
trying
to
find
it
on
your
own.
It's
it's
a
challenge
and
having
some
assistance
there,
but
then
they're
also
going
to
need
transportation
options
and
we
need
to
provide
that
type
of
information
to
them.
J
Overall,
they
will
wind
up
with
a
much
more
exciting
life,
a
longer
life,
more
enjoyable
life,
the
the
inclusive
playground
I
would
go
on
to
say
that
it's
beyond
just
your
traditional
thinking
of
a
playground
with
some
rides,
but
it
should
include
a
lot
more
of
these
experience
type
things,
the
kids
love
the
library
so
put
a
small
area
in
the
playground
that
does
have
access
to
social
media
science
type
things
things
that
they
can
do
inside,
not
just
on
sunny
days,
make
it
a
much
more
involved
place.
Ok,
thank
you.
John.
B
F
We'll
start
with
you,
so
I've
I've
heard
some
people
talk
about
legacy,
I
think
when
legacy
shouldn't
be
for
a
council.
Member
personally
I
would
like
to
see
a
legacy
where
Cupertino
is
much
more
engaged
than
ever
before,
and
then
all
the
residents
know
where
to
access
the
information
they
know
where
the
city
is
going
with
each
project
and
they
feel
they
are
involved.
The
other
driver
in
decision-making
in
Cupertino.
That's
a
legacy.
I
don't
want
to
live
in
Cupertino.
So
it's
a
it's
a
United
connected
a
Cupertino,
perfect.
G
What
I
would
love
to
see
is
a
more
vibrant
city
financially,
where
it's
stable
for
long
term,
where
we
have
brand-new
business
coming
here,
that's
going
to
bring
a
lot
of
money
into
the
city
and
make
the
city
survive
through
bad
times,
much
easier
and
I'd
love
to
say
that
I
played
a
part
and
helped
in
Cupertino
have
number
one
schools
and
in
the
state
I
think
that
would
be
huge.
I
would
love
to
and
the
the
last
thing
I'd
love
for
people
to
say
what
my
history
has
always
been.
G
C
D
Like
my
legacy
to
be
that
I'm
leaving
Cupertino
a
better
place
for
my
daughters,
who
are
like
I,
said
six
and
four
I
like
them
when
they're
my
age,
another
30
some
odd
years
to
be
able
to
live
in
a
cleaner
environment
to
be
able
to
enjoy
our
open
spaces
as
well
as
our
spaces
that
we
put
forward
on
a
civic
level
and
I'd
like
them
to
be
able
to
have
honest
conversations
with
people.
And
hopefully
one
of
them
will,
you
know,
have
a
platform
to
run
for
and
become
President
of
the
United
States.
H
D
H
We
obviously
have
a
lot
of
political
division
in
cupertino
and,
in
my
honest
opinion,
I
think
it's
destroying
our
community
and
negatively
impacting
our
quality
of
life.
I
think
the
root
cause
and
I
witnessed
this
before
I
decided
to
run
in
especially
now
that
I'm,
a
candidate
I,
truly
feel
this
is
happening
in
cupertino,
because
people
have
lost
faith
in
their
government
and
their
City
Council.
So
I
think.
The
only
way
to
move
forward
constructively
from
now
is
to
regain
that
trust.
H
You
know
not
making
the
same
mistakes
as
our
previous
councils,
proactively
planning
preparing
for
SB
35
and
laws
like
it
actively
engaging
the
community
even
when
we
disagree,
holding
an
administration
accountable
to
the
needs
of
the
community
and
reducing
the
influence
of
big
money
in
our
politics.
So
I'd
want
my
legacy
to
be
that
I
helped
implement
reforms
that
restore
transparency
and
trust
in
our
government.
H
I
helped
secure
approval
and
funding
for
21st
century
transportation,
infrastructure,
I,
approved
housing
and
development
that
meets
the
needs
of
our
community,
not
special
interests
and
I
took
serious
action
to
address
our
climate
emergency.
Thank
you
all
for
the
opportunity
to
be
here
today.
Thank.
E
You
Sarita,
thank
you
for
and
just
like
Jim
Jackson
said
something
that
was
started
several
years
ago,
I'm
proud
to
say,
I
voted
on
that
I
voted
to
transform
a
dead
mall
into
a
vibrant,
multi-generational
mixed-use
destination.
I
voted,
so
we
can
plan
today
for
future
mass
transit
and
save
our
environment.
I
voted
so
we'll
have
a
place
for
our
teachers.
E
Our
public
service
workers
are
first
responders
the
disadvantaged
disabled
communities,
so
we
can
live
together
in
a
multi-generational,
cohesive
community,
I
voted,
so
we
create
value
for
the
next
generation,
and
leadership
is
not
about
the
next
election.
It's
about
the
next
generation.
This
was
said
by
an
author
in
England
named
simon
Sinek,
so
that
is
what
I
would
like
to
see
my
legacy
as-
and
this
is
something
from
a
musical
that
many
many
of
you
have
seen
of
Hamilton
I-
want
to
build
something.
That's
gonna
outlive
me.
What
do
you
want
so.
I
It
to
be
our
legacy-
it's
not
just
my
legacy.
I
want
us
to
cook
in
your
residence
to
build
inclusive
housing
for
young
professionals
to
live
among
us
for
teachers,
nurses,
working
families
to
live
among
us.
We
have
an
opportunity
to
add
value.
You
have
opportunity
at
oaks,
we
have
lots
of
opportunities,
let's
build
inclusive
housing
and
be
interactive
with
the
people
who
already
work
here
and
I
also
want
to
leave
another
legacy
as
a
cupertino
is
to
really
build
transportation
regionally,
but
that's
not
going
to
be
happening
for
years
or
so.
I
J
I
would
hope
that
in
this
day
and
age
that
we
really
start
using
the
the
knowledge
that
we
have
being
a
California
licensed
engineers,
I
don't
make
decisions
based
on
hunches
I
make
decisions
based
on
data
I
hope
that
the
community
looks
back
and
says
you
know
during
John's
tenure
we
make
good
decisions,
we
calculated
the
impacts.
We
made
sure
that
was
available
for
all
the
residents
to
understand
and
the
residents
got
to
weigh
in
and
the
right
decisions
for
our
community
got
made
and
John
did
this
not
for
himself.
J
B
Loved
all
the
answers,
thank
you
very
much
so
this
brings
us
to
the
end
of
today's
forum
and
I'd
like
to
thank
all
of
the
candidates
for
running
in
this
election.
It
takes
a
major
time.
Commitment
to
run
takes
a
major
time
commitment
to
to
serve,
and
it
takes
a
lot
of
courage,
then,
to
take
such
an
endeavor.
So
many
thanks
to
our
candidates.
