Welcome
to
this
candidate
forum
for
the
Cupertino
City
Council
I'm
Marie
Ann
shovelin
from
the
League
of
Women,
Voters
and
I'll,
be
moderating
tonight's
forum,
the
League
of
Women
Voters,
hosts
forums
like
this
to
allow
voters
to
see
the
candidates
and
hear
them
address
questions
of
interest
to
the
public.
Our
goal
is
to
enable
voters
to
learn
about
the
candidates
so
that
they
can
make
informed
choices.
B
C
B
Nathan,
voters
and
Cooper
Tito
may
vote
for
three
of
these
candidates.
The
three
candidates
they
get,
the
most
votes
in
November
will
be
elected
to
the
Cupertino
City
Council.
The
candidates
have
agreed
to
a
format
and
ground
rules
for
tonight's
forum.
The
format
is
simple:
I
will
pose
questions
to
the
candidates
and
each
candidate
will
have
60
seconds
to
respond.
A
timer
seated
at
the
front
of
the
room
will
give
candidates
visual
signals
to
help
them
pace
their
responses.
B
Since
we
received
ample
questions
from
the
public
via
email
in
advance,
we
are
not
collecting
more
questions
from
the
audience
tonight.
This
forum
is
being
recorded
and
aired
live
on
the
Cupertino
City
Channel.
The
ground
rules
ask
the
candidates
not
to
use
forum
recordings
for
campaign
purposes.
We
also
encourage
the
audience
not
to
record
the
forum
because
we
want
it
to
be
shown
in
its
entirety.
B
We'll
tell
you
how
to
access
the
forum
video
at
the
end
of
tonight's
program.
Finally,
we
ask
the
audience
to
refrain
from
displays
of
support
or
opposition.
Please
hold
your
applause
until
the
end
of
the
forum.
We
want
to
give
the
candidates
as
much
time
as
possible
well
now
to
turn
our
attention
to
the
candidates.
B
Thank
you
all
for
running
for
office
and
for
participating
in
this
forum.
Each
candidate
will
respond
to
the
opening
question.
What
will
be
your
top
three
priorities?
If
elected
your
speaking
order
for
the
first
question,
determined
from
a
random
drawing,
will
be
from
left
to
right,
starting
with
Tara
Tara?
What
will
be
your
top
three
priorities
if
elected?
Thank.
D
You
well,
first
and
foremost,
I've
lived
in
Cupertino
since
I
was
five
since
I
was
a
poor,
tailed,
penguin
and
I
mentioned
that,
because
that
strengthened
my
resolve
to
work
in
this
area,
and
it's
shaped
my
priorities,
which
are
responsible
and
proactive
City
planning
for
our
future
traffic
relief
and
providing
access
to
workable
transportation
to
our
residents
and
environment,
to
leadership.
In
terms
of
responsible
planning,
we
need
to
actively
engage
residents.
I
know
a
lot
of
folks
feel
disenfranchised
by
our
current
city
planning
process.
D
We
also
need
to
hold
developers
to
higher
standards,
so
we're
not
growing
in
an
unsustainable
way.
That
means
we
don't
know
massive
office
allocations
without
adequate
housing
and
ensuring
our
infrastructure
needs
are
met.
Also,
as
we
grow
as
a
city,
we
need
to
grow
our
green
space,
so
we
don't
become
a
concrete
jungle.
Traffic
relief
in
the
environment,
I
think
you'll
have
to
look
at
my
website,
but
I
was
endorsed
by
the
Sierra
Club
and
thank
you
to
the
League
of
Women
Voters
hyung.
D
E
My
top
three
priorities
that
probably
a
lot
like
a
lot
of
the
our
people,
the
first
one
is
people
will
live
in
Cupertino
complaints
about
traffic
people
who
work
in
Cupertino
country
about
traffic.
So
let's
do
some
traffic
tackling.
We
should
have
short
term
traffic
solutions
and
long-term
traffic
solutions.
E
The
short
term
is
more
eminent
innovative,
like
the
Pogo
rightful
share
program
that
Fremont
Union
High,
School
District
and
the
city
of
Cupertino
collaborated
to
for
parents
to
have
car
share,
apps
and
then
also
the
long
term,
and
we
really
need
to
build
resources
to
have
Regional
Planning
work
with
neighboring
cities
and
get
money
and
get
really
great
neighborhood
planning
and
housing,
I'm
passionate
about
senior
and
teacher
housing.
Our
teachers,
you
still
with
here
and
our
seniors,
need
to
stay
with
us.
So
senior
housing
and
teacher
housing
are
my
priorities.
E
F
Evening,
my
name
is
Lauren
Mahoney
I
had
the
honor
and
privilege
of
serving
on
the
City
Council
and
be
your
mayor.
A
few
years
ago,
I'm
running
again
now
to
help
create
a
council
will
collaboratively
work
together
to
achieve
progress
on
Cupertino
those
key
issues.
First,
balanced
development,
the
Bay
Area
has
a
serious
housing
crisis,
with
many
people
being
priced
out
of
the
market.
This
includes
our
teachers
key
to
maintaining
our
strong
school
systems.
F
We
need
to
find
ways
to
selectively
add
to
Cupertino
housing
stock,
while
protecting
our
current
single-family
neighborhoods
look
and
feel
second
improve
transportation.
Traffic
is
the
biggest
challenge
for
the
city.
We
need
fresh
approaches
to
this
problem,
while
there's
some
short
term
actions
like
better
bike
paths
and
intelligent
signals.
We
need
a
long-term
plan
accomplishing
a
possible
future
fleet
of
autonomous
vehicles
that
can
maintain
the
convenience
of
a
single
occupancy
car,
while
virtually
linking
up
into
a
traffic
to
a
bus
or
a
train.
G
I'm
Darcy
Paul
I'm
on
the
council
currently
and
I'm.
Currently,
the
mayor
of
Cupertino
I
want
to
be
able
to
make
sure
that
we
have
enough
programming
space
for
the
library.
That's
my
first
priority,
I
think
that
it's
been
a
bit
tied
up
in
our
discussions
on
the
Civic
Center
and
I'd
like
to
make
sure
that
we
secure
a
council
majority
to
go
ahead
and
release
that
funding
to
improve
that
library
space
because
it's
so
well
utilized
by
our
community.
G
The
second
thing
I'd
like
to
do
is
to
make
sure
that
we
look
at
areas
of
Cupertino
that
are
park.
Deficient
I
was
on
the
Parks
and
Recreation
Commission
for
seven
years
prior
to
serving
on
council
and
I
think
that
it
is
very
achievable.
We
need
to
put
forward
a
sincere
effort
to
do
it.
In
the
past,
funding
allocations
have
been
made
and
they
frankly
have
been
held
up
a
little
bit
so
I
think
we
really
need
a
secure
majority
to
support
that
as
well
and
then
finally,
traffic
and
infrastructure.
G
H
Evening
my
name
is
John
Willie
I'm,
a
California
licensed
professional
engineer,
I
built
my
top
three
priorities.
Number
one
is
going
to
be
the
Valco
redevelopment,
I've
talked
to
hundreds
of
residents
and
they
feel
they
have
not
been
listened
to.
They
have
not
been
brought
into
the
process.
I
will
be
bringing
them
into
the
process
representing
the
residents.
They
have
indicated
to
me
that
they
want
sensible
growth
and
that's
what
I
will
keep
bringing
to
the
table.
Number
two
is
traffic.
We
got
to
quit,
talking
about
it
and
start
doing
something
about
it.
H
That's
what
engineers
do
I'll
task
the
planning
department
to
identify
the
three
most
impacted
intersections
and
road
sections
identify
how
to
rectify
those,
what
the
options
are
and
then
start
it.
Let's
not
wait.
Third
is
the
housing
affordability
crisis.
We
need
to
make
some
serious
goals
to
get
that
implemented.
Thank
you.
Thank.
I
I'm
Tim
Gorski
and
it's
a
privilege
to
be
here
this
evening.
One
one
priority
that
I
will
have
is
developing
programs
that
involve
the
citizens
that
involve
the
people
that
will
help
build
our
schools,
educational
levels
together
so
and
it
does
work
through
CTE
program,
said
I
will
promote
and
I
guarantee
they've
they've
proven
I've
been
doing
those
for
many
many
years
as
well.
In
my
own
business,
I've
been
I've,
had
the
privilege
of
working
in
Cupertino
since
1995
been
here
for
many
many
many
years.
B
J
You
Lynne
I
am
beyond
shocked,
I'd
like
to
thank
everyone
for
coming
tonight
and
the
League
of
Women
Voters
for
hosting
this
forum.
Your
service
is
invaluable.
I
would
adopt
stronger
policies
to
protect
the
city
from
profit-driven
interests
and
hold
all
developers
equally
accountable.
No
developer
should
be
allowed
to
threaten
the
city
with
SB
35
to
claim
entitlement
not
even
granted
in
the
general
plan.
I
will
hope.
I
will
help
local
business
thrive,
starting
with
the
true
revitalization
of
Okuma.
C
Hello
I'm
Savita
by
the
nuttin,
thank
you
to
the
League
of
Women
Voters
for
hosting
this,
and
for
you
all
for
having
come
here.
My
top
three
priorities
are
transportation,
housing
and
the
environment.
At
this
critical
juncture
in
time,
history
will
judge
us
on
how
we
handle
a
major
housing
crisis.
It
is
our
duty
to
create
more
housing
for
people
of
all
income
levels
and
abilities,
housing
for
our
teachers,
our
first
responders
public
health
workers,
care
workers
and
seniors.
Yes,
that
could
generate
more
traffic,
so
we
need
to
find
solutions.
C
My
new
term
solutions
include
shuttle
services,
ride-sharing
options
like
povo,
expanding,
safe
bike
paths
and
trails.
My
time
on
the
VTA
board
has
taught
me
to
view
transportation
from
a
policy
perspective
and
that
regional
traffic
takes
time.
The
relief
takes
time
and
we
need
to
leverage
resources.
I
will
continue
to
work
on
reducing
greenhouse
gas
emissions,
support,
Silicon,
Valley,
clean
energy
and
increase
the
use
of
recycled
and
gray
water
I've
also
been
endorsed
by
the
Sierra
Club
and
the
League
of
conservation
of
Voters.
Thank
you
thank.
E
Always
joking
that
I
I
love
to
volunteer
so
I'm
I'm
a
school
board
on
a
Fremont
Union,
High
School
District
for
11
years,
I
always
said
it's
an
elected
position,
but
you
had
to
be
lucky
to
volunteer
so
I
love.
The
community
and
I
believe
that,
with
my
11
years
on
the
board
and
the
20-plus
years
volunteer
at
the
YMCA
at
the
Fremont
High
Schools
Foundation
and
a
shimmering
association
in
Los,
Gatos
and
I
have
a
broad
experience
of
working
with
people
collaboratively
and
get
people's
perspectives
and
really
work
with
people
and
listen
and
I.
E
Think
my
strongest
point
is
being
very
compassionate
and
good
listener
and
taking
all
the
perspectives
and
I
believe
that
I
am
well
on
the
provost.
I
am
rule
I'm
supposed
I
am
endorsed
by
all
or
members,
every
Mon,
Union,
High,
School
District,
and
whether
we
have
differencing
opinions
or
not
I
think
that's
a
testimony
to
say
that
I'm,
a
collective
worker
and
I
can
really
work
with
it
and
I
think
our
city
needs
a
strong
leader
like
that
in
that
respected
right
now.
Thank
you
and.
F
As
I
said
earlier,
I've
spent
nine
years
on
the
City
Council
two
years
as
your
mayor,
while
on
the
council,
I
worked
with
a
wide
variety
of
different
council
members.
You
know
from
Barry
Chang
and
Mark
Santoro
to
Daleks
and
of
all.
We
all
had
different
ideas
about
about
things
about
specific
projects,
but
in
the
nine
years
I
was
there.
We
always
managed
to
get
together
and
get
things
done.
We
added
a
wide
variety
of
projects
to
the
city.
Blackberry
farm
trail,
the
shopping
centers,
except
for
that
which
will
not
be
named.
F
G
I
am,
as
I
stated
before,
the
current
mayor,
as
well
as
in
the
middle
of
my
first
term,
and
I
would
like
to
really
more
concentrate
upon
my
approach.
I'm
really
more
systemically
driven
than
I
am
outcome
oriented,
and
so
with
respect
to
that,
what
I
try
to
do
is
to
set
up
our
processes
so
that
we
we
we
achieve
success,
irrespective
of
what
the
particular
decision
is,
at
the
same
time
we're
in
a
democratic
system.
So
we
really
need
to
make
sure
that
we
get
all
these
various
perspectives
out
there.
G
It's
not
easy
to
balance
out,
but
I
think
that
if
you
look
at
the
metrics
in
Cupertino,
we've
been
very
successful
over
the
last
several
years,
I
don't
have
any
antipathies
about
disagreements.
I
think
we
need
to
have
those
disagreements
and
that
we
need
to
really
go
ahead
and
hash
those
out
and
do
it
in
an
honest
fashion.
G
B
H
Two
is
I'm
a
highly
skilled
engineer:
I've
done
a
lot
of
analyses
on
the
high-density
projects
that
have
been
proposed
and
I've
brought
it
to
the
City
Council
meetings,
dozens
of
times
over
the
last
two
and
a
half
years,
I've
reached
out
to
hundreds
of
residents
over
the
last
two
and
a
half
years,
I've
asked
what
they
want,
what
they
feel
about
the
developments
that
are
being
proposed
and
that
needs
to
be
brought
to
the
city
government
I
will
listen.
I
will
bring
that
I
will
represent
the
residents.
I
Have
25
years
of
business
experience
locally
again,
I
worked
locally
in
some
in
this
town.
Here,
I've
worked
in
different
townships
and
cities
locally
in
the
Silicon
Valley
for
25
years,
I've
been
on
many
boards
had
the
opportunity
to
serve
on
the
huge
board
businesses
over
the
years
negotiate
contracts,
and
it's
huge,
that's
a
huge
issue.
I
If
you
don't
know
what
you're
doing
you're
gonna
be
in
trouble,
so
it's
over
the
years
of
dealing
with
people
and
I'm
available
24
hours
a
day
and
and
I've
been
in
business,
doing
that
for
many
years,
I
answered
the
phone
24/7,
so
I'll
always
be
available
to
help
and
assist
people
and
I'm
very
compassionate
and
that
passed
away
two
years
ago
and
so
I'm,
the
lone
ranger.
So
all
I
have
to
do
is
work
and
I
love
it.
So
I
would
love
to
see
this
city
thrive
in
the
future.
Thank
you.
Thank.
J
Hi
so
I
have
a
PhD
in
computer
science,
from
Princeton,
University
and
I
have
taught
in
universities
in
US
and
in
Germany
I've
worked
in
industry
for
20
years.
I
am
a
problem.
Solver
I
would
look
at
what's
the
root
cause
of
a
problem.
If
we,
if
we
only
solve
housing
problem,
that's
going
to
be
a
band-aid
and
if
the
root
cause
is
rapid
office
growth
in
the
lack
of
transit,
then
that
has
to
come
into
the
into
the
solution.
I'm
committed
to
transparency
and
evidence-based
decision-making
and
fiscal
responsibility.
J
C
You
well
my
life
before
City
Council,
when
there
was
one
I
was
a
volunteer.
A
community
volunteer
with
the
Rotary
Club
of
Cupertino
West
Valley,
Community,
Services,
DeAnza,
College,
Commission
and
I
chose
the
answer.
College
commissioners,
because
I
went
to
the
answer
college
as
a
student
and
then
transferred
to
San
Jose
State,
so
I've
been
very
involved
in
the
local
community.
C
C
Another
20
points
to
think
how
you'll
get
the
solution,
and
then
the
remaining
70
points
is
actually
how
you
figure
out
the
other
four
people
on
your
council,
how
you
can
collaborate
and
find
a
consensus
to
actually
get
to
the
solution,
and
that
is
what
I
have
been
doing:
I'm
the
only
person
on
council
who
managed
to
get
the
neighboring
cities
to
come
to
the
table,
to
talk
to
VTA
and
find
a
traffic
relief
solution,
so
I
think
I'm,
a
collaborative
builder
and
consensus
builder.
Thank
you
and.
D
You
well
a
bit
about
me.
I
have
worked
as
a
city
council
staffer,
which
is
definitely
direct,
work
experience
to
this
role,
just
behind
the
scenes
and
I've
worked
as
a
community
organizer
on
campaigns
and
causes
in
cupertino
and
around
the
Bay
Area.
So,
through
my
work,
experience
I
pragmatically
understand,
what's
possible
and
I
have
the
tools
to
help
cupertino
live
up
to
its
potential
being
a
city
council
woman
would
be
an
extension
of
the
work
I've
already
done.
D
I've
worked
with
elected
officials
in
a
variety
of
capacities,
I've
written
City,
Council
agenda
items,
I've
provided
constituent
services,
I've
served
on
nonprofit
boards
and
Browne
acted
boards
and
passionate
about
reading
and
analyzing
long
agendas.
I
am
passionate
about
public
policy
building
coalitions,
I
know
how
to
pass
legislation.
I
know
how
to
work
with
residents
and
city
staff
to
actually
get
stuff
done
in
a
city.
D
B
F
So,
there's
a
lot
of
ways
to
do
that.
The
city
has
historically
on
big
projects
reached
out
and
start
in
small
projects.
We've
asked
the
developers
to
reach
out
and
when
they
do
that
successfully
reach
out
to
they
burr
hood
ahead
of
time.
The
project
goes
much
smoother
now
many
times
on
projects,
people
will
say:
oh
I
didn't
know
about
it
and
hear
about
it
until
it
comes
close
to
impact
them.
So
it
really
is
important
to
get
started
early.
We
do
that
in
many
ways.
F
Almost
everything
that
the
city
does
has
a
postcard
that
goes
out
to
the
entire
community,
including
even
a
recent
thing
about
Airbnb
homes
that
could
affect
anybody
and
then
the
council
meetings.
You
know,
I've
sat
here
in
front
of
many
many
many
councils
I
was
on
the
Planning
Commission
for
eight
years.
I.
Listen,
it
doesn't
mean
listening.
Is
you
always
agree,
but
I
always
listen.
I'll
always
meet
with
people
hear
what
they
want
to
say
and
try
to
make
the
best
decision
for
the
entire
city.
G
Great
thanks
for
the
question
what
I
do
is
I
try
to
be
responsive
to
every
single
inquiry
that
comes
in
to
to
me
and
as
mayor
this
year,
I
realized
that
there
are
quite
a
few
concerns
out
there.
You
know
it
is
true
that
we
have
one
very
large
development,
but
the
fact
is,
we
have
a
lot
of
various
issues
throughout
the
city,
and
so,
whenever
anyone
calls
or
emails
particularly
email,
that's
the
best
way
to
reach
I,
make
it
a
point
to
make
an
appointment
and
try
to
resolve
the
issue
as
much
as
possible.
G
With
regard
to
differences
of
opinion,
my
my
approach
has
been
to
go
ahead
and
represent
the
will
of
the
majority
I
think
in
our
system.
We
also
respect
minority
rights,
and
so,
with
regard
to
being
able
to
express
those
opinions
and
viewpoints.
That's
really
the
crux
of
what
our
system
is
about,
so
I'll
still
feel
free
to
express
individual
or
or
try
to
encourage
other
people
to
express
their
minority
viewpoints
and,
at
the
same
time,
I
respect
the
will
of
the
majority
Thank.
H
Most
important
responsibility
for
an
elected
official
is
to
represent
the
residents
currently
sending
out
postcards
telling
residents
to
show
up
to
an
optical
meeting
to
give
their
input
is
not
sufficient.
We
need
to
be
doing
good
surveys.
We
see
them
on
election
night
and
they're
accurate
to
within
several
percent.
We
need
to
make
sure
we
do
our
surveys
to
our
residents
make
sure
we
know
what
the
residents
want
and
use
that
in
the
important
decisions
that
shape
our
community
going
forward.
I
will
make
sure
we
do
that
process.
Well.
Thank
you.
Tim.
B
I
So
taking
those
issues
and
coming
up
with
a
resolution
as
a
team
effort
and
then
moving
forward,
I
think
is
a
great
thing
and
and
being
responsive
because
for
people
to
say
oh
I
always
respond.
If
you
don't,
people
are
gonna
find
out
real,
quick
and
I
have
a
darn
good
record
of
it
for
many
years
of
responding
to
people
right
away.
So
I'm
not
responding
right
now,
because
I'm
up
here,
Thank.
J
The
role
of
councilmember
is
to
make
policies
when
the
state
legislators
are
pushing
laws
to
allow
developers
to
bypass
local
control
and
environmental
review.
The
City
Council
should
adopt
solid
policy
to
protect
Cupertino
from
these
aggressive
laws.
When
developers
tell
us,
Boco
is
a
ghost
mode.
It
is
a
city
council's
job
to
figure
out
why
business
it
doesn't
work.
What
kind
of
businesses
would
actually
serve
Cupertino
needs
instead
of
following
developer.
Talking
point
we
need
to.
We
need
to
make
sure
that
development
projects
pencil
out
for
the
city
of
Cupertino,
not
the
developer.
J
C
Vida
thank
you.
Last
year,
I
tried
to
get
together
a
Citizens,
Advisory
Council,
and
that
was
the
reason
for
that
was
to
get
to
the
committee
and
get
everyone's
opinion,
but
that
was
turned
down
later
in
the
year.
The
last
meeting
as
mayor
I
said
we
should
get
consultants
and
one
of
my
biggest
push
was
the
consultant
that
does
the
maximum
outreach,
and
that
is
something
I've
been
saying
from
day.
One.
We
need
to
outreach
and
I
agree
with
John
postcards,
don't
cut
it,
but
how
do
you
do
the
outreach
we
do?
C
Farmers
markets
go
to
the
high
schools
go
to
where
people
are
I
seek
out
those
people
who
cannot
come
to
our
meetings
like
our
seniors
and
families
with
busy
they
have
busy
schedules,
so
we
go
to
them
through
our
block
leaders
and
get
their
opinion
and
I
always
take
every
appointment.
That
someone
asks
for
even
those
who
don't
agree
with
me
and
that's
something
I've
maintained
through
the
last
four
years
and
I
will
continue
to
do
so.
Thank
you,
sir.
D
D
That
way,
folks
will
know
that
I'm
actually
representing
the
people.
You
know
I
pledged
not
to
vote
based
on
this
election
or
a
reelection
or
based
on
anything
else,
other
than
I
feel
like
that
was
the
best
that
was
a
difficult
decision
that
would
actually
benefit
the
community
as
a
whole,
I
think
other
than
not
taking
special
interest
money.
Council
members
also
have
to
be
responsive
and
accessible.
D
I'd
want
to
do
that
through
bringing
back
town
halls,
bringing
back
office
hours
and
good
old-fashioned
door-to-door
canvassing
I'd
want
to
host
door-to-door
surveys
and
online
surveys
and
respond
to
every
constituent
inquiry
in
about
three
to
five
business
days,
and
my
cell
phone
is
on
my
flyer
and
on
my
website.
Thank
you.
B
E
You
hum
boy,
one
of
the
beauties
of
Cupertino.
Is
our
diversity?
Just
look
at
our
last
name.
We
have
Paul
way
to
galovski
to
Betty
and
nothing.
These
is.
We
have
diverse
populations
so
when
we
make
decisions
as
one
of
the
testimony
instead
of
they're
sent
to
me
honesty,
integrity
and
fairness,
those
are
my
guiding
principles.
Whenever
decisions
I
make
so
I
will
do
diligent
research,
thoughtful
communication
and
be
transparent,
inclusive
in
the
decision-making
process.
However,
I'm
also
not
afraid
of
attack
ho
difficult
issues
and
make
courageous
decisions.
E
Our
decisions
that
they
remake
is
not
for
us,
it's
going
to
be
for
the
next
56
years
for
the
next
generations,
so
we
need
to
make
thoughtful
decisions
for
the
future,
be
innovative,
be
imaginative
and
build
the
best
cupertino
for
the
generations
to
come.
I
am
for
the
kids
that's
coming
after
us,
and
as
soon
as
we
guiding
principles
as
soon
as
we
are,
we
have
honesty.
We
have
integrity
and
we
be
fair.
Thank
you.
Thank.
B
G
Let
me
let
me
start
by
saying
this:
I
think
that
rents,
if
they
are
escalating
too
high
and
creating
a
great
deal
of
displacement
or
a
real
problem
and
so
I
do
respond
and
respect
everyone
wants
to
get
engaged
in
the
process
when
the
California
Apartment
Association,
which
has
supported
me
in
the
past,
asked
for
endorsement
questionnaires
to
be
filled
out.
I
filled
it
out.
G
I
went
to
the
endorsement
interview
and
I
said:
look
I,
really,
respect
what
you
guys
do
and
get
engaged
in,
but
what
I'm
not
going
to
do
is
ask
for
your
endorsement,
because
I
think
that
we
need
to
keep
an
open
mind
with
respect
to
this
particular
issue.
I
think
that
we
have
a
missing
middle.
We
have
a
housing
crisis
and
if
your
rent
five
years
ago,
was
a
thousand
dollars
and
now,
for
example,
it's
something
more
on
the
order
of
twenty
five
hundred
and
two
three
thousand
dollars.
G
I
think
that
it
is
very
important
us
to
be
looking
at
this
issue,
so
I'm
keeping
an
open
mind
on
SB
10.
Frankly,
I
don't
see
Rent
Control
happening
in
Cupertino
in
the
next
four
years,
but
I
want
to
send
that
message
that
it
is
a
very
important
issue
to
look
at
and
that
we
need
to
be
very
cognizant
of
issues
like
displacement.
Thank.
H
I
think
we
need
to
look
very
carefully
at
how
to
to
help
families
afford
what
they
need
for
a
home
for
their
families
and
I
do
think
there
is
going
to
be
some
components
that
need
to
be
reined
in
a
little
bit
as
opposed
to
these
new
apartment
complexes
that
are
going
up
you
can.
You
can
check
any
one
of
them
and
see
what
they're
charging
it's
outrageous.
We
need
to
bring
that
back
down,
use
some
BMR
make
it
affordable
for
our
teachers
and
our
people
in
our
community
to.
I
So
I've
always
been
opposed
to
that
program,
knowing
it
well
in
other
cities
and
the
functionality
of
it
and
the
end
result.
So
we're
gonna
penalize
the
person
that
owns
the
property.
Now,
along
with
what
Darcy
said
that
I
concur
with
I,
if,
if
it
balloons
into
the
state
to
where
it
doesn't
make
sense,
then
at
that
point
we
have
to
come
in
and
say
hey.
This
isn't
gonna
work.
This
isn't
working
for
the
people.
I
J
I,
so
skyrocketing
rent
is
really
a
big
problem
in
this
area.
Rent
control
gives
the
low-cost
government
control
on
how
how
we
can
control
that
the
current
legislation
only
allow
rent
control
on
older
units,
but
new
market
rate
units
gets
the
chart
to
charge
very
high
rate
I.
Don't
think
that
I
think
that
needs
to
be
controlled.
However,
I
also
very
very
respect
the
property
owners
right.
J
We
shouldn't
expect
property
owners
to
subsidize
low-income
housing
to
some,
and
that,
though,
if
we
supported
that
that's
invading
our
property
on
the
right,
I
would
like
to
see
the
existing
rent
controls
law
to
be
repealed,
so
that
city
governments
can
adopt
reasonable
policies,
that's
suitable
for
each
region.
So
we
can
give
people
property
owners
the
right
for
their
own
property,
but
also
protect
our
renters
and.
C
Semilla,
thank
you
in
my
top
priority
I
said:
housing
is
really
important
to
me
and
especially
affordable
housing
and
when
I
say
I
push
for
affordable
housing,
I
walk
the
talk.
I
wanted
to
increase
the
amount
of
affordable
housing
in
our
city,
especially
for
teachers,
for
people
of
all
income
levels
of
all
abilities
and
trying
to
keep
our
families
together.
So
my
push
is
for
having
more
of
those
units,
so
people
can
afford.
C
There's
a
study
that
says
if
you
have
rent
control,
that's
what
causes
homelessness
and
that
seems
a
little
counterintuitive,
but
think
of
it.
This
way,
if
somebody
is
there
in
a
rent
control
place,
they
will
not
leave
and
somebody
else
is
trying
to
get
in
at
a
low
income
level
cannot
get
in
and
that's
what
causes
homelessness.
So
we
have
to
really
think
about
our
policies
and
be
very
careful
before
we
take
any
action.
So
therefore,
I
am
NOT
for
rent
children,
antara.
D
Thank
you.
So
I
do
support
the
repeal
of
Casta
hawkins
prop
10
for
local
control
reasons,
but
what
cities
have
to
keep
in
mind
is
nine
out
of
ten
economists
will
tell
you
that
rent
control
can
lower
the
supply
and
quality
of
rental
housing
long
term,
but
I
still
think
it's
up
to
cities
to
understand
the
supply
and
demand
metrics
in
their
own
City.
Rent
control
can
impede
construction
of
housing
for
cities
that
need
it,
but
there
are
protections
that
can
be
put
into
place,
for
instance,
rolling
periods
or
just
incentivizing.
D
Housing
construction
through
zoning,
like
Darcy,
said
I,
don't
think
rent
control
is
going
to
happen
anytime
in
cupertino.
More
importantly,
for
us
we
need
a
strike
at
jobs,
housing
balance,
that's
the
root
cause
of
Bay
Area's
affordability
issues,
another
factor
of
cost
to
Hawkins.
It
says
units
before
1995.
Only
those
units
can
be
rent
controlled.
So
for
the
about
15
cities
in
California
that
have
rent
control,
it
will
make
rent
control
less
of
a
lottery
system
so
for
local
control
reasons.
I
do
support
the
repeal
of
casa,
Hawkins
and.
E
So
the
roots
of
rent
control
is
really
affordability,
like
Savita
says,
so.
What
the
city
really
needs
to
do
is
to
provide
opportunities
to
build,
affordable
housing
and
I
am
NOT
supporting
proposition
tent,
because
that
proposition
has
its
good
intentions,
but
the
consequence
is
coming
from.
It
is
going
to
put
local
control
into
the
City
Council's
hands
and
look
at
the
City.
Council
can
even
make
land
use
without
controversies
and
how
can
exceed
council
put
more
pressure
on
that?
We
are
City
Council,
very
close
to
the
residence.
E
So
what
we
need
to
do
is
we
really
need
to
develop,
get
to
the
roots
of
develop
more
affordable
housing,
so
we
can
solve
this
affordable
housing
issue,
and
so
rent
control
is
market
and
supply.
We
build
more
affordable
housing
than
with
market
coming
up
with
more
supplies.
Market
rents
will
come
down
so
I
believe
in
supply
and
demand
and
I,
don't
believe
in
artificially
putting
a
rent
control
over
and
also
for
local
governance
to
do.
That
is
really
a
controversial
issue.
Thank
you.
Orin.
B
F
What
wouldn't
many
people
said,
I
believe
in
supply
and
demand?
Rent
control
has
added
zero
new
housing
so
that
it's
it's
against
where
we're
trying
to
go.
We
do
need
a
way
to
deal
with
some
of
this,
and
we,
the
city,
has
an
affordable
housing
program
where
new
developments
have
to
have
a
certain
number
of
units
that
are
affordable.
F
Businesses
have
to
pay
into
an
affordable
housing
fund
and
that's
what's
financed
some
of
the
several
projects
that
have
been
in
the
city,
including
the
one,
the
new
one
going
in
those
in
Cupertino
those
affordable
housing
units
are
targeted
for
teachers,
public
workers,
people
that
we
need
to
have
locally
here,
for
various
reasons.
Obviously,
in
an
emergency
and
I,
don't
think
that
rent
control
is
the
answer.
B
B
H
So
the
current
Valco
proposal
that
the
City
Council
approved
had
very
little
Cupertino
resident
input.
It
was
very,
very
heavy
for
the
developer
side,
not
for
our
side.
The
city
gave
away
way
too
much
when
the
developer
bought
Valko.
He
asked
for
two
million
square
feet
of
office
and
they
gave
it
to
him
when
they
went
and
removed
the
building
Heights
it
allowed
him
to
go.
H
The
problem
that
we
have
now
is
because
of
what
the
City
Council
did
if
they
would
have
taken
those
those
measures
and
said
no,
we
need
to
approach
this
as
what's
right
for
Cupertino.
What's
right,
going
forward
with
this,
Falco
needs
to
be
done
with
the
residents
input
that
needs
to
be.
First
and
foremost,
all
decisions
from
here
on
out
need
to
be
for
the
residents
of
Cupertino.
I
I'm
gonna
answer
just
with
my
opinion,
I
would
I
would
have
voted
for
tier
1
over
tier
2
and
there's
some
issues
that
should
be
addressed
and,
yes,
maybe
he
alluded
to
the
people
need
to
be
given
their
input.
This
is
not
one
person
or
a
few
people
making
this
decision.
This
is
huge.
This
should
have
been
done
a
long
time
ago
too,
by
the
way-
and
we
should
we
should
have
done
something
years
ago
with
this
with
this
program
here.
I
The
one
thing
that
really
is
disturbing
is
the
40
units
for
and
I
believe
it
was
40
units
for
the
seniors
and
I
would
be
totally
opposed
to
that.
There
needs
to
be
a
lot
more
put
in
there
for
seniors
and
I
would
look
at
minimizing
the
low
income
process
and
that
can
take
place
by
the
Builder
buying
out
the
low-income
housing
portion
thereof.
Thank.
J
You
in
the
approved
volcko
plan,
the
City
Council
decided
to
take
tier
two
to
double
the
amount
of
office
space
for
token
benefits.
They
would
rather
add
10,000
more
people
to
compete
for
housing
with
our
teachers,
our
workers
and
only
adding
a
few
handful
of
moderate
or
below
market
rate
housing.
How
is
that
a
solution.
J
So
the
Ronco
process
demonstrates
exactly
what
will
go
wrong
if
you
collaborate
with
developers
there
is.
There
was
a
lot
of
input,
a
lot
of
community
workshops
in
the
very
beginning
and
then
from
May
to
August.
They
ignored
everything
they
did.
They
came
out
with
a
plan
B
behind
closed
doors,
we
started
with
the
boho
shopping
mode.
A
site
is
owned,
only
from
sha
Qian
mo
how
come
at
the
end
developer
gets
would
threaten
us
with
a
humongous
project.
That's
wrong!
Thank
you.
C
I
was
on
the
council
that
deliberated
for
hours
over
two
days
and
we
voted
for
tier
two,
and
there
are
many
reasons
for
that.
We,
what
is
called
community
benefits,
benefits
our
community,
our
school
districts,
both
CUSD
n
fu
HST.
They
get
something
that
they
would
not
get
in
an
sp30
fie
project
or
in
a
tier
1,
and
that
will
help
them
when
they
have
increase
enrollment,
which
currently
is
going
down.
We
get
community
Civic
space
for
our
students
for
incubator
purposes.
C
We
have
brilliant
kids,
they
need
a
space,
we
get
adult
education
space
which
we
wouldn't
get
otherwise,
and
it's
actually
80
senior
units
and
40
is
actually
for
the
disadvantaged
disabled,
which
again
you
don't
get
an
SB
35.
You
don't
get
teacher
housing
in
SB
35,
which
you
get
through
the
tier
2
process,
so
everything
that
we
decide
is
for
our
community
and
it
went
through
an
entire
process
from
with
the
consultants
and
the
community
input,
which
is
why
the
council
decided.
Thank
you,
sir.
B
D
Well,
I
think
we're
in
a
sticky
situation
because
whatever
gets
developed
at
Valco
will
create
a
lot
of
traffic.
You
know
we
have
to
put
in
an
implementable
vision
with
keeping
in
mind
current
the
cost
of
current
construction
costs.
If
I
were
on
council
I
wouldn't
have
voted
for
tier
2.
I
would
have
approved
a
motion,
something
similar
to
tier
1
or
tier
1.25,
and
I
understand
the
reality
of
the
situation
that
the
council
members
were
in.
They
lost
a
lot
of
the
bargaining
power
when
SB
35
was
triggered
during
the
community
driven
opticals
process.
D
I.
Think
a
lot
of
folks
felt
disenfranchised
by
that,
because
the
only
way
we
would
get
a
project
is
if
we
presented
them
something
they
would
take
over
SB,
35,
so
I
think.
In
the
end,
it
wasn't
very
community
driven
and
I
agree
with
Orrin
Mahoney.
Who
said
that
you
know
tier
2.
Let's
take
away
some
of
this
the
space
and
then
we
can
take
away
some
of
the
community
benefits.
Most
residents
want
a
balanced
plan.
It
doesn't
matter
how
many
community
benefits
our
goodies.
You
throw
on
it
the
jobs,
housing
balance
is
more
important.
E
This
is
a
spectacular
plan,
but
I
understand
the
traffic
issues.
People
are
concerned,
you
know
I'm
a
high
school
board.
We
encourage
our
students
to
be
innovative
and
imaginative.
This
is
a
ten
year
project.
By
the
time
we
come
to
fight
transportation
has
to
be
resolved.
We
cannot
sit
here
in
their
five
years
and
say
we're
in
gridlock.
E
So
from
now
on,
along
with
Valco
development,
we
need
to
work
with
our
local
industry,
with
Apple
with
Mountain
View
with
Sunnyvale,
and
we
get
a
big
pool
of
money
and
we're
gonna
have
regional
traffic
solutions
to
go
with
Falco
development,
because
you
can
say
during
on
station,
have
10,000
units
for
Google
Village,
but
someone
lives
there
is
going
to
move
jobs
right
away,
so
we
need
to
transportation.
So
I
am
not
afraid
to
tackle
this
Valco
transportation
issue.
B
F
Four
years
ago,
the
city
council
approved
a
change
to
the
general
plan
to
allow
for
the
revitalization
of
BALCO,
which
is
basically
a
dead.
Mall
and
I
could
give
details
on
that
two
years.
After
that
there
were
two
measures
on
the
ballot
measure
C
and
measure
D
both
failed
measure,
C
failing
means
that
the
public
wanted
something
to
happen
with
BALCO.
They
didn't
want
it
to
go
back
to
100%
retail,
because
that
couldn't
happen
reasonably
measure.
D
failed
because
people
said
the
council
should
be
making
this
decision.
We
shouldn't
do
it
on
the
ballot.
F
That
was
the
time
to
go
back
to
the
council
and
have
them
up
with
a
plan.
In
the
meantime,
the
state,
in
all
its
wisdom,
created
SB
35
because
of
their
view
of
how
to
deal
with
the
housing
crisis.
That's
now
there
that's
been
approved.
All
we
can
do
is
look
at.
What's
the
best
alternative
to
SB
35,
as
Tara
said,
I
had
a
slight
tweak
to
tier
two
that
I
would
have
done
if
I
was
on
the
council.
F
H
B
B
G
I
built
a
four-year
track
record
on
this
issue
and
I've
said
since
the
very
beginning.
We
need
to
be
cognizant
of
the
jobs
to
housing
balance.
Our
very
first
meeting
four
years
ago
was
about
12
hours.
Each
night
we
went
till
about
5:00
a.m.
in
the
first
night
and
the
second
night
they
allocated
to
Mellon
square
feet
of
office
to
the
BALCO
space,
and
so,
in
addition
to
what
was
previously
described
at
the
end
of
last
year,
I
suggested
look
with
the
new
state
housing
laws.
G
We
really
need
to
be
analytical
and
cognizant
of
what
the
pressures
are,
because
if
we
don't
look
at
things
like
pro
formas
and
realize
that,
for
instance,
tier
two
gives
a
seven
hundred
million
dollar
margin
that
wouldn't
be
there
an
SP.
Thirty
five
and
we're
only
asking
for
80
million.
We
need
to
be
doing
our
homework
as
well,
so
I
respected
the
majority
I'll
work
on
that,
but
I'll
also
keep
being
analytical
and
expressed
my
viewpoints
and
bring
forth
that
analysis.
Thank
you.
B
I
Thank
you,
I
appreciate
it,
so
the
employee
had
tax
or
headcount
tax
is
absurd.
I
mean
it
gets
to
the
point
we
need.
We
need
revenue
in
the
city
period,
there's
good
ways
to
get
it
to
deter
business
from
doing
business
here,
because
you
want
a
few
bucks
is
not
the
way
to
do
it,
and
I
can
tell
you
that
on
a
personal
level,
absolutely
I've
deflected
some
cities
because
of
the
number
of
huge
number
you
would,
we
would
be
paying
to
do
business
in
a
certain
city
and
it
absolutely
did
tracks.
I
I
J
I
think,
whenever
we
tax
business
it
has
to
be
used
to
help
the
business
drive.
It
has
to
be
used
to
help
them
have
better
business
and
more
profit
employee
via
tax.
It
depends
on
how
it's
structured.
Definitely
we
don't
want
to
be
impacting
the
business
that
already
have
very
small
operating
margin.
If
possible,
I
would
be
ready
to
look
at
employee
tax
that
might
be
charging
those
businesses
with
very
high
profit
margin
and
but
then
I
wish
that
we
don't
have
to
go
there.
J
C
We
de
thank
you
the
reason
we
started
the
process
for
the
head.
Contacts
was
to
answer
to
the
people
who
are
asking
for
traffic
relief,
so
this
was
a
way
to
see
if
our
businesses
would
support
something
where
we
would
have
a
head
contacts
and
put
that
towards
a
vote
to
the
citizens
and
then
figure
out
if
it
would
go
to
traffic
relief,
what
the
citizens
wanted,
then,
as
we
were
going
through
the
process,
we
ensured
that
the
small
businesses
would
not
be
affected
and,
yes,
the
largest
employer
would
be
affected.
C
But
in
all
our
conversations
when
we
talked
to
the
largest
employer,
it
took
several
discussions
to
get
them
to
the
table
and
they
said
we
will
give
you
a
letter
that
actually
says
that
we
will
help
with
the
traffic
relief
and
work
with
VTA
for
solutions
on
85
and
Stevens
Creek
corridor
and
280.
What
you
exactly
want
and
the
local
shuttle
service
they
gave
us
a
letter
like
that.
If
you
don't
do
the
employee
head
tax,
so
we
said
we
agree
with
you.
C
D
Thank
you
I
see
the
head
tax
as
an
option
along
with
public
another
form
of
a
public-private
partnership.
I
see
it
this
way.
If
we
don't
find
transportation
and
housing
solutions,
Silicon,
Valley
and
Cupertino
will
become
less
economically
viable
long
term.
I
think
it's
an
apples
interest
to
work
with
us
on
mutually
beneficial
projects
to
plan
for
economic
prosperity
in
the
long
run.
Of
course,
I
don't
think
it
should
affect
small
businesses.
I
see
how
it
was
done
or
being
put
on
the
ballot.
This
November
in
Mountain
View
as
a
model.
D
They
have
a
positive
working
relationship
with
Google
I.
Think
the
big
mistake
here
was:
we
were,
at
whatever
reason,
didn't
actively
engage
Apple
for
a
longer
period
of
time.
It
was
sort
of
just
thrown
at
them
at
the
last
minute.
From
my
understanding,
also,
the
tax
the
money
should
be
allocated
because
I'm
sure
Apple
will
want
to
know
what
exact
projects
this
will
be
used
on
and
I
know
in
Mountain
View
they
worked
with
the
transit
consultant
to
work
on
specific
transit
improvements.
Thank
you.
E
So
that
so
the
heck
context
is
actually
a
new
business
tax,
then
we
are
in
a
place
that
we
are
going
to
race,
each
other
I
believe
in
collaboration,
I,
believe
in
that's
where
the
skills
come
from.
How
do
you
make
collaborative
efforts
and
talk
with
local
businesses
and
let
them
invest
into
the
community?
This
is
investment
that
Apple
and
major
companies
can
invest
into
the
community
this
for
the
benefit
of
the
employees
as
well
as
for
our
residents,
their
employees
are
all
day
residents.
E
Also
some
the
people
that
we
need
to
take
care
of
so
I
believe
in
collaboratively
work
out
something
out,
and
then
this
is
the
transportation
that
money
we're
talking
about.
This
is
for
in
the
future.
We're
gonna
build
that
transportation
so
that
we
can
move
people
around
from
job
to
different
places,
so
I
believe
in.
E
We
can
do
this
and
we
will
do
it,
and
this
is
the
future
of
Cupertino
collect,
connecting
with
all
the
way
to
Jared
daun
station
connecting
with
Sunnyvale
connecting
with
Santa
Clara,
so
that
everybody
who
lives
where
they
are
could
get
to
work
very
quickly.
So
I
am
for
ahead.
Contacts
that's
collaboratively
when.
F
F
Yes,
well
I
I
can't.
No
none
of
us
should
say
how
we
would
vote
on
a
future
possible
head.
Tax.
I
was
adamantly
opposed
to
the
the
one
that
was
previously
run
through
the
council,
for
the
reasons
that
have
been
stated
here.
Apple
is
by
far
our
largest
direct
and
indirect
source
of
revenue
for
the
city,
and
we
should
treat
them
with
respect
and
work
together
with
them,
and
we
didn't
do
that
in
this
case.
And
the
second
thing
is,
we
really
didn't
have
a
plan
for
how
we
were
going
to
spend
the
money.
F
L
G
Reason
for
the
meeting
was
to
basically
eliminate
three
of
our
Commission's
completely
disagreed
with
that,
but
they
happen
to
tack
on
an
employee
head
tax.
To
that
now
we
need
to
do
our
homework.
I
do
our
homework
a
lot
yeah
a
lot
of
times
when
I
see
a
deficiency
with
regard
to
what's
being
put
forward,
we
can't
go
to
the
pot
in
the
well
of
money
before
we
figure
out
what
we're
gonna
do
with
that
money.
G
Yes,
there
is
a
very
major
employer
here,
but
the
fact
of
the
matter
is
they
need
to
be
responsible
with
their
dollars.
Just
like
we
do
so.
If
we
have
projects-
and
we
are
saying
this
is
what
the
details
are
and
we
need,
we
have
these
various
you
know
plans
for
funding.
Yes,
this
is
a
possible
mechanism,
but
it
was
much
much
too
premature,
so
I
have
actually
gone
and
spoken
with
the
chair
of
VTA.
She
said
to
me:
I,
can't
remember.
H
H
H
B
J
Where's
the
approve
of
the
vocal
project
from
last
week,
we
will
be
facing
the
vocal
only
we'll
build
a
warm
shell
city
home.
The
city
will
have
to
pay
about
maybe
fifty
to
seventy
million
dollars.
To
finish
the
interior
of
that
city,
home
and
Boca
will
only
build
an
empty
shell,
Performing
Arts
Center,
the
city
will
have
to
chip
in
maybe
another,
fifty
to
seventy
million
dollars
or
more
to
build
the
interior
of
Performing
Arts
Center.
That's
our
challenge
and
Performing
Arts
Center
was
600.
J
C
So
we
need
to
put
funds
towards
that
and
for,
as
I
mentioned,
before,
near-term
relief
when
it
comes
to
pilot
projects
like
Pogo
and
right
Pogo
for
students
and
right
for
seniors,
we
will
need
to
invest
more.
We
need
to
invest
more
in
safer
bike
paths
and
trails
so
that
our
kids
can
get
to
school
safely.
Thank
you,
sir.
D
Thank
you
so
I
have
three
points.
I
want
to
mention
one.
As
Liang
said
we
are
City.
Hall
is
not
seismically
retrofitted,
so
we'll
have
to
pay
millions
into
that,
whether
it's
the
warm
shell
from
tier
two
or
just
out
of
our
city
budget.
Also
looking
at
our
budget,
our
expenses
are
set
to
outpace
revenues
by
2025,
so
we'll
have
to
look
at
some
new
stream
of
money.
Also
unfunded
pension
liabilities,
I
think
that's
a
struggle
for
every
city
and
I
believe
our
unfunded
liability
ratio
right
now
is
about
65%.
Thank
you.
E
E
Etches,
a
really
unique
city,
we
got
great
neighborhood.
We
also
have
industry
and
I
believe
our
finance
ad
just
pretty
sound,
but
we
need
to
put
our
money
into
our
quality
of
life.
You
know
expend
libraries
fix
roads,
get
Public
Safety,
so
I
think
our
challenge
is
get
another
car.
The
money
that
could
solve
our
long-term
traffic
issues
like
can
solve
our
affordable
affordability,
housing
issues.
This
is
where
we
work
with
industry
that
we
collaborate.
It's
not
about.
Hair
contact
is
about
making
industries
making
investment
into
our
community.
E
So
I
think
our
challenge
is
to
find
another
big
part
of
money
to
work
on
housing
and
traffic
and
I
think
with
our
collaborative
council
and
with
our
intuitive
imaginative,
innovative
industry.
We
can
do
it
in
the
next
five
to
ten
years.
We
will
achieve
that,
so
we
will
not
be
afraid
of
having
building
housing
close
to
work.
You
know
get
re
residents
go
in
and
out
of
the
city
very
fast.
So
that's
our
challenge.
Where
do
we
get
another
pot
of
gold
to
fix
housing
and
traffic?
Thank.
F
So
the
city
you're
lucky
to
be
in
a
city
that
actually
had
really
good
fiscal
responsibility
over
the
last
years,
even
including
our
pension
and
our
health
care
systems
and
the
fact
that
we
contract
for
the
for
our
public
safety
employees
as
a
major
benefit
compared
to
some
of
our
neighboring
cities.
Having
said
that,
so
we've
got
upside
opportunities
to
spend
our
money.
F
Activities
as
well,
you
know
the
economy
is
not
going
to
boom
forever.
We
need
to
keep
our
rainy
day
fund
to
make
sure
that
we
keep
going
when
things
go
down,
as
we
have
in
the
past
and
maintain
our
city
services
and,
as
Tara
said,
the
pension
and
health
care
costs
are
in
some
ways
beyond
our
control.
We've
done
a
good
job
so
far,
but
that's
a
looming
problem
for
every
city,
including
our
own.
G
There
are
two
key
things
to
keep
in
mind
when
we're
talking
about
financial
issues.
You
can't
have
corruption
and
you
have
to
have
clear
thinking
and
between
2000
and
2014
before
I
got
on
right
before
I
go
on.
Actually,
apparently,
there
was
something
like
$800,000
and
like
allegedly
embezzled
by
one
of
our
staff,
accountants
from
Cupertino.
We
cannot
have
this.
We
need
to
fix
our
systems,
we
can't
have
deposit
accounts
that
are
unmonitored
or
have
holes
and
how
the
money
can
get
out.
G
So
if
you
look
at
the
dot-com
bubble,
if
you
look
at
the
housing
bubble,
it's
basically
a
lack
of
clear
thinking.
We
need
analytical
people
to
take
a
look
at
what
the
factors
are
and
be
very,
very
honest
about
what
the
motivations
are,
and
so
you
know
it's
very
simple
and
frankly,
if
we
do
that,
we'll
continue
to
thrive.
If
we
don't,
then
you're
gonna
see
holes
in
the
budget
you're
going
to
see
exacerbated
problems
down
the
line.
Thanks
thank.
I
H
B
I
C
You
so
much
for
that
question.
I've
been
working
on
this
for
the
last
four
years
and
I'll
continue
to
work
on
it.
I
served
two
years
on
the
policy
Advisory
Committee
of
VTA
and
then
on.
The
I've
been
on
the
board
of
meet
here
for
the
last
two
years
representing
five
cities
of
the
West
Valley
Los
Gatos,
Cupertino,
Campbell,
Saratoga
and
Monte
Sereno.
So
I
look
at
the
problem
as
both
regional
and
the
city,
and
we
have
to
keep
in
mind
that
traffic
does
not
respect
city
boundaries.
C
So
we
look
at
near-term
solutions
like
shuttle
services
within
a
city
and
taking
public
to
mass
transit
places
like
Caltrain
and
doing
something
like
the
student
car
share
program
that
I
mentioned,
and
when
it
comes
to
having
leverage
with
our
neighboring
cities,
state
and
federal
resources.
We
need
to
look
at
some
big
picture
solutions
like
mass
transit
on
Stevens,
Creek,
Boulevard,
85
and
280,
and
look
at
not
south
connections
to
calculate
and
mountain
use,
Sunnyvale
and
San
Jose
de
Adan.
Thank
you.
Your.
D
Thoughts,
sir,
thank
you.
Well,
as
long
as
we
have
jobs
here,
we're
gonna
have
traffic,
but
neighborhood
streets
shouldn't
be
highways
for
commuter
traffic.
A
few
things
I
want
to
do.
I
want
to
I've,
been
walking
the
neighborhood
and
I've
kept
a
list
of
different
traffic.
Calming
measures
throughout
the
city.
I'd
want
to
prioritize
with
our
traffic
engineers.
D
You
know
on
Ainsworth
a
stop
sign
on
Ainsworth
in
front
of
Stevens
Creek
Elementary,
a
speed
bump
on
Vista
next
to
Lawson.
I'd
also
want
to
expand
the
parent
carpooling
pilot.
We
have
at
Cupertino
high,
assuming
it's
successful.
I
want
to
bring
a
free,
citywide
shuttle
to
Cupertino
through
a
transportation
management
association
that
could
hit
our
four
corners
and
also
foster
short-term.
D
E
So
traffic
solutions
short
term
long
term-
we
are
all
mentioned
a
lot
of
them,
so
I'm,
gonna,
constitutional,
regional,
long
term
solutions,
short
term.
We
can
have
carpool,
we
can
in
the
work
with
the
schools.
We
can
do
bike
trails
and
what
encourage
biking
and
walking
but
long
term
solution
has
to
count
what
keeps
our
vibrant
community
is:
education
and
jobs.
We
have
jobs
here.
We
have
to
be
able
to
move
people
to
and
from
work
building.
E
Housing
closed
work
is
one
solution,
but
building
a
regional
transit
all
the
way
from
Cedartown
station
to
Sue's,
West
San
Jose
through
Cupertino,
go
to
Mountain
View,
go
to
Seneca
rock
and
coming
back,
that's
what
we
have
to
do,
and
so
we
have
to
think
outside
the
box.
Where
can
we
get
that
pot
of
money
so
that
we
can
collaborate
with
all
the
cities
and
get
federal
and
state
funding
and
have
a
transit
plan?
So,
let's
not
sit
in
a
for
years,
going
for
another
run
and
say
worrying
big
traffic?
E
B
F
My
view
is
to
stop
looking
at
yesterday's
approaches
to
traffic
time
and
convenience
drive
people's
behavior.
That's
why
the
city
of
San
Francisco,
even
with
the
best
transit
system,
probably
in
the
Bay
Area,
is
losing
ridership
to
burr
and
lyft,
so
I'm,
looking
at
what
the
future
might
look
like
when
we
have
autonomous
vehicles,
we're
talking
a
10
to
20
year
time
frame.
So
here's
two
approaches
you
get
in
your
autonomous
vehicle
and
it
takes
you
to
the
bus,
stop
and
you
get
out
of
your
autonomous
vehicle
and
get
on
the
bus.
F
And
then
you
get
off
your
to
the
bus
and
then
you
go
into
another
autopsy
look
to
get
to
your
final
destination.
Why
won't
these
vehicles
and
they're
not
going
to
be
cars
they're
going
to
be
something
different
linked
together
to
provide
their
own
bus?
So
we
need
a
dedicated
Lane,
but
instead
of
a
dedicated
Lane
for
a
bus
that
goes
by
every
20
minutes
or
10
minutes
or
five
minutes,
even
leaving
the
space
in
between
utilize
that
entire
space
and
look
to
the
future
and
see
what
we
can
do.
G
Important
that
we
have
aspirational
innovative
solutions
in
the
ten
miles
between
Deardon
station
in
downtown
San,
Jose
and
De
Anza
College.
It
takes
us
approximately
an
hour
to
get
there
in
in
traffic
in
rush
hour
on
a
weekday.
So
that
is
an
unacceptable
time
that
was
unacceptable
in
1950,
given
that
technology
that
we
had
at
that
point
right
now,
we
could
probably
get
there
not
just
in
60
miles
an
hour.
H
H
If
we're
in
Cupertino
and
we're
going
someplace
in
Cupertino,
it
probably
makes
good
sense
to
have
shuttles
that
will
take
us
from
point
A
to
point
B
and
we'll
be
able
to
address
some
of
the
vehicle
trips
there's
still
going
to
be
a
lot
of
vehicle
trips
per
day
that
are
still
going
to
be
contributing
to
the
congestion.
What
we
need
to
do
is
identify
those
points
that
are
the
bottlenecks.
I
said
earlier,
pick
three
and
start
working
on
it.
If
it's
a
bottleneck,
let's
put
in,
say
a
turn
only
lane.
I
One
of
the
goals
I
would
see
me
reaching
out
to
VTA
some
of
the
people.
I
know
there
that
are
professionals
that
do
this
also
consultants
and
come
in
and
really
come
up
with
a
program
that
works
and
what
is
what
has
happened
in
other
cities,
this
size
that
have
these
issues.
What
is
worked
so
we
know
van
pool
when
we
offer
vouchers
those
worked.
If
you
don't
offer
an
incentive
nope,
why
would
I
leave
my
car
in
the
garage
and
do
a
van
pool
so
there's
an
incentive
if
you
offer
that?
I
J
For
traffic,
that's
the
biggest
issue
everyone's
mind.
A
very
simple
solution
is,
don't
add
more
cars
down
to
our
highway.
When
there
is
no
capacity,
the
volkl
project
will
add.
10,000
more
cars
would
increase.
30
percent
commute
traffic,
that's
going
to
double
triple
the
amount
of
commute
time
for
teachers
and
everyone
who
currently
work
in
Cupertino,
don't
add
more
cars
and
I
would
like
to
look
at
countywide
community
commuter
buses
for
public
agency
employees
at
ease
and
small
businesses.
They
need
to
commute
from
more
affordable
areas.
J
How
can
we
have
private
public
partnership
and
I
would
like
to
look
at
citywide
shuttle
bus
with
technology
so
that
we
can
provide
them
efficiently
and
more
reliably
and
the
safe
route
for
schools
so
that
we
can
encourage
more
children
to
bike
and
the
carpool
drop-off
that's
away
from
schools?
Thank
you.
B
D
Well,
I
think
we're
doing
really
great
when
it
comes
to
our
work
on
building
our
resiliency
to
climate
change
in
terms
of
contracting
with
Silicon
Valley,
clean
energy.
So
I've
been
really
happy
with
the
environmental
initiatives,
one
something
that
the
council
can
be
doing
better
on
is
community
engagement
through
more
neighborhood
meeting.
You
know,
I've
hosted
a
lot
of
neighborhood
meetings
for
my
campaign
and
I'd
want
to
continue
those
throughout
my
term
as
accounts
the
woman,
because
I
think
a
lot
of
folks.
D
E
Would
love
to
bring
smiles
into
our
council?
You
know
we
are
citizens
of
the
city
and
we
love
our
city,
we're
here
to
volunteer
to
be
elected
to
volunteer
because
we
care
about
a
community
I.
Believe
our
council
members
need
to
really
collaborate
and
work
on
respect
each
other
and
also
listen
to
each
other
and
do
studies
and
make
things
happen.
We
need
we're
here
to
find
solutions.
Let's
get
together
and
find
solutions,
bring
our
community
in
to
get
solutions.
E
Like
savvy
that
says,
we
should
have
a
Citizens
Advisory
Committee
to
really
work
on
tackle
a
certain
solution.
So
if
we
have
that,
then
we
bring
our
coming
together
as
a
council
as
a
council,
we
lead
our
cities
into.
You,
know
undiscovered
land
and
let's
do
it
together.
So
I
would
like
to
bring
smiles
into
our
council
and
on
a
first
and
basis,
get
to
know
each
other
so
that
we
understand
each
other
where
we
come
from
and
we
can
collaborate
and
he
makes
things
happen.
E
F
As
I
said
earlier,
you
know
I
worked
with
a
wide
variety
of
fellow
council
members
and
we
didn't
always
agree
on
things,
but
most
of
the
time
we
ended
up
with
the
500
votes
or
for
one
and
in
a
few
cases,
but
we
compromised
there
was
a
lot
of
compromising
going
on.
There
was
a
lot
of
you
know.
Well,
I
can
see
you
know,
I'll
Bend
on
that
one
and
hopefully
in
the
future.
You'll
you'll
help
help
me
with
you
my
favorite
project.
It's
it's
all
about
compromise
about
working
together
and
I.
F
Think
the
other
thing
that's
really
important
that
we
haven't
addressed
yet
is
almost
every
one
of
the
major
problems
we
talked
about.
Housing
transportation
are
regional
issues,
so
it's
really
important
that
the
cow
so
works
together
with
our
fellow
of
neighboring
cities
and
there's
some
of
that
going
on
today,
but
there's
some
of
that.
It's
not
there's
sort
of
a
drawbridge
pull
up
the
drawbridge
and
Cupertino
approach
and
we
need
to
go
and
get
over
that.
B
G
I
think
we're
doing
a
good
job
in
our
discussions,
we're
having
a
very
good
set
of
discussions,
for
example
over
the
employee
head
tax.
The
Valco
issue
was
a
14-hour
meeting
and
at
five
hours
of
public
input
with
another
five
hours
of
deliberation
by
counsel
I
thought
it
was
a
very
positive
overall
totality
of
our
community
sentiment
and
outside
of
the
community
sentiment
along
with
the
presentation
of
the
various
factors
you
know.
G
For
me,
you
know
external
happiness
is
a
little
bit
more
internalized
and
and
satisfied
by
making
sure
that
you
get
all
the
details
right.
I
think
that
at
the
end
of
all
of
this,
what
we
could
be
doing
is
giving
a
little
bit
more.
That's
true
for
the
Valco
issue.
I
did
try
to
put
forward
three
amendments
and
it
would
be
nice
to
have
a
little
bit
of
that
type
of
discussion.
I,
don't
think
it's
necessary
for
us
to
say
you
know
you
scratch
my
back
I'll
scratch.
Yours
I!
Think
it's
really!
G
H
I
think,
as
we
here
in
the
council
meetings
and
and
things
that
there
are
good
things
happening,
councilmen
are
working
with
trying
to
work
with
VTA
and
do
things
like
that.
But
the
number
one
thing
that
needs
to
be
driven
home
is
residents.
We
need
to
be
engaging
the
residents
in
this
day
and
age.
How
can
we
continue
to
let
the
residents
not
be
the
reason
we
are
here?
We
are
here
to
represent
them,
but
we
need
to
get
out
and
interact
with
them.
H
I
Tim
so
again
back
to
where
I
was
with
I've
served
on
a
disability.
Advisory
Committee
interconnectivity
with
your
people
is
huge
and
I
think
that
I
don't
see
that
I,
don't
think
I've
ever
seen
it
per
se,
but
I
think
involving
the
citizens,
giving
them
the
opportunity
to
give
back
and
exciting
exciting
the
people
with
the
idea
that
hey
I
can
be
part
of
this
I
can
be
part
of
the
decision
making
or
coming
up.
For
example,
the
city
of
Cupertino
has
huge
issues
with
disability.
I
I
mean
I,
could
take
you
around
right
now
and
walk
you
around.
There's
huge
cuz
I
know
I've
been
doing
it
for
years.
There's
huge
issues
that
need
to
be
addressed.
Let's
involve
people
out
here
and
let
them
be
involved
in
it
and
make
recommendations
and
get
federal
funding
and
get
funds
that
are
available
out
there
that
we're
not
even
taking
advantage
of
and
I
know
about.
Those
trust
me.
Thank
you.
Thank.
J
We
need
more
transparency,
especially
for
development
project
for
vocal
project,
the
particular
specifics,
like
the
number
of
housing
units,
the
actual
square
footage
of
office
was
buried
even
hundreds
of
page
of
documents.
It
was
a
published
on
the
website
until
one
week
before
the
council
meeting
after
I
emailed
the
city.
How
can
we
hide
such
detail
that
people
care
about,
and
they
expect
people
to
comment
in
before
before
the
council
meeting?
We
need
a
better
community
engaging
the
using
technology.
How
wait?
How
come
there
hasn't
been?
J
Any
survey
done
for
vocal
project
and
we
need
to
engage
our
citizens.
We
have
a
lot
of
talented
citizens,
engage
them
to
to
to
help
with
the
performance
study
or
the
Valco
project
to
find
out
how
much
developer
is
really
making
so
that
we
can
get
as
much
we.
We
know
exactly
how
much
we
are
giving
away.
Thank
you
thank.
C
Veda,
thank
you
so
I
think
you've
had
a
lot
of
healthy
discussions
on
the
City
Council
and,
like
Darcy,
said
we
disagree,
but
afterwards
we
are
friends
and
we
are
all
at
heart.
We
have
the
communities
but
best
interests
at
heart
and
that's
what
needs
to
drive
us
towards
the
goals
for
a
collaborative
community.
We
want
to
engage
the
citizens
as
much
as
we
can
and
outreach
has
been
one
of
my
focuses.
C
We
need
to
change
or
improve
our
social
media
presence
and
get
the
young
people
more
involved,
because
this
is
their
future
that
we
are
now
discussing.
So
I
need
to
change
what
we
are
doing
with
our
social
media
presence,
so
we
get
them
involved.
The
the
other
thing,
I,
really
think,
is
important.
Just
like
we
say
when
we
are
discussing
the
master
plan
for
the
parks.
I
said,
let's
energize
the
neighborhood
parks.
C
E
Council
members,
we're
elected
to
represent
the
residents,
but
also
the
residents
who
work
here
and
we
first
want
to
say:
I,
don't
know
everything
so,
but
we
have
staff
who
do
research.
We
do
our
do
research,
we
go
out
and
collaborate
with
us
with
communities
and
we
listen
and
we
collect
our
evidences
and
we
work
with
the
staff.
E
The
staff
reports
is
very
important,
so
have
good
staff
and
trust
the
staff
and
do
that
as
a
very
important
thing,
but
councils
job
is
to
outreach,
listen,
be
it
ears
to
it
in
the
community
and
work
with
the
staff
and
come
up
with
the
best
plan.
That's
for
good
for
the
residents
and
also
good
for
the
business,
the
business,
our
our
economic
development.
They
are
our
bread
and
winners.
We
pinzon
tax
tool
to
do
our
quality
of
life,
so
my
position
is
yes,
we
trust
our
staff
to
do
research.
E
H
H
F
I
agree:
we
have
a
great
staff
here
in
the
city
and
it
start
with
the
staff
for
the
basics.
You
know
the
numbers
the
the
details,
but
then
you
do
have
to
have
public
input
and
we
have
a
lot
of
public
input
here.
You
know,
certainly
in
the
time
I
was
on,
the
council
and
I
was
on
the
Planning
Commission
for
eight
years
as
well,
but
in
the
end
you
have
to
do
that
balance
that
balancing
between
what
might
affect
a
small
neighborhood
versus
the
good
of
the
city.
F
My
experience
is
that,
ninety
more
than
that,
98%
of
the
time,
the
worst
case
scenario
that
gets
painted
never
happens
and
people
are
usually
happy
with
the
results
and
I
can
give
you
a
case
after
case
where
that
happened,
where
the
world
was
going
to
come
to
an
end.
If
we,
you
know,
had
an
another
entrance
in
the
BlackBerry
farm
from
scenic
circle,
if
we
put
a
dog
park
down
on
Mary,
Avenue,
etc,
etc.
G
This
was
a
very
multifaceted
rule,
so
I've
been
in
it
for
almost
four
years
now
and
when
you
get
on
you're,
trying
to
figure
out
what
staff
does
you're
trying
to
figure
out
what
the
external
forces
do,
trying
to
figure
out
all
the
various
balances
of
residential
sentiment
so
sitting
here,
probably
maybe
even
a
year
in
and
I,
had
a
bit
of
a
very
obvious
epiphany,
and
that
was
we
have
made
a
systemic
leap
of
faith
with
regard
to
how
we
conduct
our
government.
It
is
not
paternalistic.
G
It
is
something
that
we
have
asked
people
to
cast
votes
and
have
them
represent
us.
Our
constituency
in
cupertino
are
the
voters
of
Cupertino,
so
that
really
helped
me
crystallize
the
method
going
forward
so
and
it's
and
it's
very
straightforward,
but
it's
not
something
that's
easy
to
balance
necessary.
H
So,
once
again,
my
criteria
is
the
residents,
that's
where
it
starts.
What's
the
issue
that
we
would
be
looking
at
the
first
question,
I'm
gonna
ask
is
what
are
the
residents
thinking
about
this?
What
do
the
residents
want?
Okay,
now
we
go
as
an
engineer
we
go
when
we
look
at
it
and
we
look
at
the
details
and
we
say
well
there's
a
lot
of
little
facets
and
they're
going
to
impact
different
areas
of
our
community
and
we
need
to
now
take
that
detailed
information
to
those
areas
that
are
going
to
be
impacted.
H
Just
like
the
bike,
the
regular
bike
that
there
are
going
to
be
parts
that
need
to
be
taken
out
to
the
residents
and
let
them
know
and
then,
once
again
we
come
back.
What
did
the
resident
majority
decide
and
that's
what
we
need
to
then
vote
on
good
information
to
the
residents
and
then
implement
that
thank.
I
Intel
is
everything
I,
don't
as
she
alluded
to
down
there.
I,
don't
know
everything
yet,
but
I
guarantee
you.
The
only
way
to
really
go
is
go
out
to
the
source
go
to
the
people
that
do
know
and
being
conservative
and
very
frugal
with
other
people's
money,
because
you
need
to
if
I'm
recommending
or
coming
up
with
a
plan
or
an
idea.
It's
gonna
be
with
my
wholeheartedly
pocketbook
in
in
in
mind,
because
I
believe
that
we
spend
more
by
not
having
the
knowledge
than
we
do
by
just
saying.
J
My
criteria
would
be
whether
it
pencils
out
for
the
city,
whether
it
pencils
out
for
the
residents
who
live
here,
not
whether
it
pencils
out
for
that
particular
developer.
Who
wants
more
and
more
office
I
would
support
evidence-based
decision
making
there
has
to
be.
We
cannot
just
follow
developer
talking
point
if
we
are
provide
way.
We
get
a
few
taka
benefits,
but
the
benefits
do
not
even
begin
to
mitigate
the
impact
that's
created
by
a
project
that
it
doesn't
pencil
out.
Also,
every
decision
has
to
take
a
citywide
view
and
the
long-term
planning
view.
J
C
It's
available,
so
when
we
get
a
proposal
on
the
table,
we
get
a
staff
report
and
I
do
my
homework.
I
read
everything
and
I
ask
questions
of
staff.
Then
I
go.
Do
my
own
research
I
thank
John
for
bringing
up
the
Reg,
not
Creek,
Trail
I
did
for
ways
of
research
on
that
I
walked
it
I
went
on
a
bike.
Ride
I,
went
on
a
golf
cart
with
staff,
and
then
I
drove
the
neighborhood
by
car
to
see
what
the
alternate
routes
were.
C
So
I
really
do
my
research
before
I
take
my
decision
and
then
I,
listen
to
everyone
who
came
here
and
I
ensured
that
staff
addressed
their
concerns
and
what
couldn't
be
addressed
right
at
the
meeting
directed
staff
to
meet
with
them
individually
and
make
sure
that
they
listened
to
them.
So
there
is
an
entire
process.
It's
not
an
immediate
knee-jerk
reaction
and
I
ensure
that
I
give
everyone
their
time
here
at
the
City
Council
and
when
they
approached
me
outside
the
council
and
then
I
come
to
my
conclusion
for
the
benefit
of
the
entire
community.
D
Well,
I'm
committed
to
making
decisions
that
benefit
the
city
and
the
region
at
large.
You
know
we're
not
a
silo,
so
we
do
have
to
think
about
how
our
decisions
impact
our
neighbors
I.
Think
what's
difficult
is
what
residents
want
is
not
always
what
residents
need
and
I'm
committed
to
making
the
decision
and
going
with
what
residents
need
now
we're
a
very
smart
community,
so
sometimes
most
of
the
time.
Those
are
one
and
the
same
I
also
commit
to
make
decisions
based
on
sound
fiscal
policy.
D
You
know
we
shouldn't
spend
money,
we
don't
have
I
commit
to
making
data-driven
decisions.
I'm,
passionate
about
reading
council
reports,
council
agenda
items,
I
commit
to
making
honest
and
thoughtful
decisions
and
again
to
making
decisions
that
benefit
the
community
at
large,
because
it's
impossible
to
please
everyone
in
a
community
and
I
think
it's.
It
often
helps
to
speak
with
someone
who
has
an
opposing
view,
because
you
get
to
see
the
pros
and
cons
of
making
a
certain
decision.
B
F
Unfortunately,
some
of
the
things
that
are
going
on
at
the
national
level
have
sprinkled
down
into
the
local
level
and
that's
really
unfortunate
as
I
go
around
and
walk
precincts.
You
know
people
are
really
concerned
about
that.
I
think
there
are
different
ways
of
dealing
with
that.
I
mean
the
fact
that
we
can't
have
an
intelligent
conversation
about
things
and
say:
well,
here's
how
I
feel
and
I
don't
have
to
automatically
be
in
this
block
after
that
block.
F
So
we
need
to
work
on
that
to
start
with
you're
not
in
this
or
that
or
you
know,
one
development,
no
matter
what
you
know,
love
the
developers
against
any
development.
We
need
to
start
working
together
on
specific
projects
on
specific
areas,
and
the
castle
has
worked
together
on
the
current
Council
on
things
and
move
things
forward
where
they
do
agree.
We
just
need
to
do
more
of
that.
It
is
really
tough,
I
mean
with
the
environment
in
general.
The
social
media
does
not
help
that.
F
G
G
You
know,
there's
a
difference
between
collaboration
and
collusion
and
I
think
that
what
we
really
need
to
do
is
to
make
sure
that
we're
committed
systemically
to
hearing
people's
opinions
and
perspectives
out
are
there
going
to
be
disagreements.
There
are
fundamentally
going
to
be
disagreements
because
of
the
fact
that
that
is
how
we've
designed
this
system.
We
want
to
get
all
of
those
various
viewpoints
and
perspectives
out
there
we're
not
going
to
give
everyone
what
they
want.
100%
of
the
time
you
know
until
we
figure
out
how
to
create
parallel,
universes,
unlimited
number
of
outcomes.
G
That
is
just
not
going
to
happen,
but
what
is
gonna
happen.
I
hope
is
that
we
can
improve
our
civic
nature
or
our
dialogue
and
just
make
sure
that
you
don't
have
things
like
personal
anonymous
attacks.
I
mean
that's
just
not
something
that
really
helps
the
overall
cohesion
of
our
community.
It's
just
not
something
that
helps
get
resolution.
It's
not
something
that
helps
with
regard
to
making
sure
that
minority
rights
are
preserved
and
by
minority
I
don't
mean
I'm
a
minority
I.
G
H
Unfortunately,
the
the
divisions
have
gotten
more
extreme
lately
and
I
find
that
real,
sad,
we're
all
very
unique
individuals.
I
don't
want
anyone
else
to
be
like
me
and
when
we
don't
respect
democracy,
that's
what
it
then
boils
down
to
just
everybody
arguing
we
are
in
a
democracy
where
everybody
gets
to
vote
and
then
the
majority
opinion
is
what
the
decision
is
and
when
we
all
accept
that
we
can
have
great
conversations.
We
have
to
respect
that.
First,
it's
a
democracy
everybody's
going
to
get
one
vote
at
the
end
of
the
day.
I
H
I
Moment's
notice
I
mean
you
went
from
happy
to
mad
too
sad,
so
I
I've
always
been
of
the
peacemaker
type
and
I
love
to
be
around
people
and
make
them
happy
and
I.
Think
if
we
work
together
to
do
that
more
in
our
environment,
especially
on
a
city
council
and
you're
dealing
with
people,
you
can
change,
you
can
change
that
negativity
and
drag
it
away
and
throw
it
in
the
garbage
band
and,
let's,
let's
keep
people
moving
positively
together
and
I,
love
that
that's
something
I've
always
enjoyed
doing.
Thank
you.
Wayne.
J
I
was
elected
to
Cupertino
Union
School
School
Board
in
2016,
when
CUSD
was
in
crisis
teacher
morale
was
low.
Parent
concerns
were
ignored
again
and
again
now,
in
two
short
years,
the
school
district.
We
have
brought
a
lot
of
positive
changes
to
the
school
district.
Three,
the
leaders
from
all
three
unions
have
endorsed
me
for
the
City
Council
race,
though,
even
though
they
didn't
want
to
see
me
leave
I,
they
say.
J
I
was
the
first
board
member
who
approached
them
right
after
board
meeting
to
introduce
myself
to
not
have
a
divided
community
when
in
City
Council
members
who
take
the
leadership
to
reach
out
to
the
community,
even
though
to
the
people
who
they
don't
agree
with.
We
talk
to
other
community
member
and
actually
address
their
concerns,
not
just
taking
a
concern
and
then
ignore
them.
The
City
Council
shouldn't
be
going
in
a
direction.
That's
totally
different
from
what
people
are
asking
for
so
communication.
Communication
communication
is
what
would
bring
us
together.
Thank.
C
So,
as
I
said
before,
10
points
gets
you
the
problem.
Then
you
listen
to
the
independent
experts
and
people
who
give
you
an
analysis.
Yes,
you
should
critically
question
them,
but
don't
throw
out
fake
news
and
discredit
them.
We
need
to
have
some
kind
of
a
group
who
listens
and
then
ask
questions
and
then
comes
to
a
conclusion.
C
If
we
just
listen
to
our
own
echo
chamber,
that
won't
get
us
anywhere,
so
the
collaboration
happens
when
you
listen
to
more
people
and
then
come
to
a
conclusion
and
then
come
to
that
compromise
solution,
because
you
need
the
four
other
votes
on
the
City
Council,
not
just
what
you
think
is
the
best
way
but
discuss
and
then
come
to
a
comprehensive
solution
that
helps
the
entire
community.
Based
on
what
you
heard,
you
analyzed
and
then
decided.
Thank
you,
sir.
Thank.
D
You
well
I,
do
think
we
have
a
very
divided
city
and
a
divided
council
I
think
to
help
bridge
these
political
divides.
Finding
common
ground
communicating
is
key,
but
it
doesn't
mean
we
always
have
to
disagree.
What's
up,
we
always
have
to
agree
what
I
think
is
really
a
problem
is
when
there's
a
lack
of
transparency
from
city,
council,
members
or
city
staff,
or
there's
a
lack
of
civility
on
our
social
media
sites
or
in
from
neighbor
to
neighbor.
You
know:
traffic
affects
our
quality
of
life.
D
Housing
prices
affects
our
quality
of
life,
but
also
this
lack
of
civility
and
just
neighbor
to
neighbor
being
amicable
is
also
affecting
our
quality
of
life.
So
I
say,
even
if
you
disagree
with
someone
reached
out
to
them,
communicate
because
I'm
sure
there's
common
ground,
you
could
find
opt
and
I
think
there
are
these
false
dichotomies
in
the
city
and
sometimes
were
unnecessarily
divided.
Thank.
B
E
This
is
where
my
experience
at
a
Fremont
Union,
High,
School,
District,
on
through
crisis,
we
gone
through
a
field
lighting
crisis
where
hundreds
of
parents
come
to
our
place.
We
gone
through
limbering
romanichals,
who
actually
we
have
a
thousand
parents
that
come
in
members,
come
to
our
borough
meetings,
we
gone
through
it
and
then
what
we
do
is
we
collaborate.
We
get
a
citizenship
together,
we
get
people
together
and
find
facts,
provide
them,
fax,
fax,
after
fax,
so
that
people
can
come
together.
Say
yes,
I
I
can
agree
on
this.
E
Even
though
the
solution
come
up,
it's
not
perfect
for
them.
They
understand
why
it
needs
to
be
done.
Our
city
needs
that
are
seeing
needs
that
process
are
seeing
is
together.
We,
let's
all
talk
about
it.
We
have
it's,
not
a
white
elephant.
We
have
a
group
of
better
Cupertino
who
do
not
agree
with
what
the
council's
decision
is.
Now
we
have
referendums
on
the
on
the
petitions.
They
want
to
collect
three
thousand
dollars.
You
know
how
much
that's
gonna
cost
us
money,
so
we
need
to
have
a
collaborative
cupertino.
B
G
Thank
you
very
much,
so
my
question
is
going
to
be:
what
have
you
sacrificed
to
serve
the
community
and
my
very
simple
answer
is
quite
a
bit:
I
ran
in
2009
I
was
a
patent
litigator
before
that
and
it's
as
you'd
imagine
a
pretty
lucrative
industry
in
Silicon
Valley,
but
I
made
a
commitment
after
that,
I
ran
a
very
principled
race.
I
knocked
on
every
door
took
a
stack
of
voter
registration
forms,
didn't
care
if
you're
a
registered.
Ok
and
now
we
have
a
very
high
registration
right
in
Cupertino.
G
If
you
look
at
it
historically
starts
a
no.9,
but
in
terms
of
trying
to
make
sure
that
we
do
the
right
thing
for
the
community.
I
think
that
those
sacrifices
have
been
very
much
worth
it
prior
to
getting
onto
council
between
2010
2014
I
spent
about
five
years
volunteering
for
a
Chamber
of
Commerce
to
make
sure
that
it
doesn't
go
into
fiscal
insolvency
and
we
successfully
did
that
I
am
NOT
someone
that
is
going
to
go
along
to
get
along.
G
H
H
How
are
we
going
to
get
that
out
to
the
community
and
use
so
that
we
can
use
it
to
make
the
decisions
that
keep
our
city
running
and
once
again,
I'll
start
with
the
survey
approach?
I
think
there's
other
things
that
we
can
do.
There's
like
the
movie
nights
at
the
parks
that
I've
been
going
to
the
city
council
can
get
out
there
make
it
known
ahead
of
time
that
they'll
be
on
the
stage
for
10
or
15
minutes.
H
B
K
I
My
question
is
what
business
experience
would
one
have
that
would
be
asking
for
this
job,
so
what
would
be
required
for
it?
So
if
you
to
me,
if
you
don't
have
business
experience
out
in
the
world,
you
can
it,
you
can
learn
everything
under
the
Sun
in
a
book.
It's
just
like
becoming
a
physician
like
my
brother.
Before
we
went
to
work
at
Stanford.
He.
I
Out
there
and
put
his
hands
on
people
and
started
learning,
so
it's
the
same
process
being
out
there,
making
payrolls
and
learning
how
to
scratch.
Your
eyeballs
out
almost
because
you're
so
panicky
worried
about
making
money
to
make
payroll
to
make
sure
people
don't
have
bad
checks.
That's
what
it
that's!
Tough!
That's
a
tough
one!
So
that's
what
I
have
to
offers
a
lot
of
years
of
experience
in
the
business
sector
and
I
think
it's
huge
in
any
political
arena.
J
You
Ling,
this
question
has
been
asked
by
many
people.
What
happens
if
I
get
elected
to
City
Council,
most
likely
a
new
board
member
will
be
appointed
through
an
application
process.
There
are
many
more
good.
The
great
board
members
that
have
been
appointed
to
a
board
in
the
first
place
and
I'll
continue
to
be
committed
to
listen
and
be
accessible
to
everyone
for
both
City
and
school
issues.
J
The
city
of
berkeley
actually
rejected
their
SB
certified
project
over
minor
violations.
However,
the
city
of
Cupertino
is
unwilling
to
even
reject
our
SP
certified
project
over
some
major
violations.
We
don't
want
lawsuit,
but
we
also
need
to
keep
our
city
staff
accountable
for
their
action,
so
to
avoid
a
lawsuit.
Quite
not
first
launch
an
investigation
of
the
potential
misconduct
of
the
city
manager
over
the
handling
of
SB
35
project
to
avoid
a
referendum.
Why
not
listen
to
the
citizens
a
proof
project
that
they
want?
Thank,
You,
Selina.
B
C
Question
is:
are
you
running
for
the
right
reasons
and
as
you're
running
as
a
candidate
and
if
later
on
counsel,
will
you
respect
your
fellow
councilmembers
and
your
candidates
in
the
current
situation?
And
this
is
my
answer
four
years
ago,
I
ran
on
the
platform
of
yes
ye-es
for
the
youth,
the
environment
and
the
seniors
and
I
delivered
on
every
point
and
far
more
this
time,
around
I'm
going
to
be
doing
a
lot
for
the
transport
and
housing
and
the
environment,
and
during
my
campaign,
I'll
be
very,
very
polite.
C
I
will
not
cast
aspersions
and
I
would
like
the
fellow
candidates
here
to
do
the
same,
whether
they
are
a
candidate
or
later
on
council,
and
we
like
Senator
McCain,
who
spoke
up
for
then-candidate
Obama
when
asked,
and
then
he
responded,
no
ma'am
he's
from
a
decent
he's,
a
decent
family
man,
a
citizen
that
I
just
happened
to
have
disagreements
with
on
fundamental
issues
and
that's
what
this
campaign
is
all
about.
Thank
you.
Thank.
D
Think
that
special
interest
money
is
corrupting
every
level
of
our
politics,
from
local
politics
to
the
national
level
and
I
think
if
we
were
somehow
able
to
get
this
money
out
of
our
local
politics,
we'd
be
able
to
reassert
community
control
over
our
government
and
residents
would
be
certain
that
City
Council
decisions
were
based
on
what's
best
for
the
community.
Currently,
our
city
has
no
city
wide
restrictions
on
lobbying
our
campaign
contributions.
Someone
could
write
me.
D
B
E
So
I
brought
some
visual
aids
I
hope
somebody
asked
me:
why
do
you
mean?
What
do
you
mean
by
moving?
Could
we
go
forward?
Why
are
you
forward?
We
have
traffic
already
have
too
many
housing.
I
brought
some
visual
aids,
so
I'm
endorsed
by
11,
the
former
Cupertino
mayors
and
I
talk
to
every
one
of
them
and
one
of
them
in
the
1970s,
and
he
said
at
that
time.
E
The
controversy
was,
do
you
build
housing
on
a
flat
land
or
do
you
housing
on
the
mountains
and
then
I
guess
the
mountain
people
won
and
look
at
the
housing
that
they're
building
and
people
company
about
traffic
about
overcrowding?
So
he
said
it's
the
same
issue,
so
I
will
want
you
to
see.
We
don't
want
at
right
now
in
the
next
50
67
years.
We
need
to
move
forward
to
build
something
for
our
next
generations
to
build
innovative
imaginative
things.
E
F
My
question
would
be:
how
do
you
balance
the
residents
competing
interests?
It's
very
easy
to
say
it's
the
residents
against
the
big
bad
developers,
but
every
decision
that
gets
made
on
the
council.
It's
really
balancing
residence
interests.
We
talked
earlier
about
a
trail.
We
have
the
bike.
People
would
love
to
have
a
trail.
We've
got
the
people
who
live
next
to
the
trail
at
wouldn't
they're.
Both
residents
you've
got
to
balance
that
out.
F
You've
got
people
who
would
love
to
have
a
new
Performing
Arts
Center
in
the
city,
and
we've
got
people
who
are
gonna
be
impacted
by
the
traffic
that
the
new
outcode
development
brings.
How
do
you
balance
that
out
everything
that
gets
done
in
the
city,
although
city
services
get
paid
for
by
our
sales
tax,
primarily
not
our
property
tax?
So
it's
important
to
have
a
thriving
economy
here,
LED,
as
I
said
earlier
by
Apple,
and
it's
it's
direct
and
indirect
benefits.
It's
about
balancing
the
residents.
B
H
D
H
B
I
I
would
certainly
appreciate
people's
vote
I'm
running
for
this
office,
because
I
love
this
area,
I
just
I
love
the
area.
I
love
the
people,
it's
I
think
it's
the
best
place
in
the
whole
wide
world
and
I
put
a
hundred
percent
into
things.
I
don't
do
things
halfway,
I've
only
flown
coach
twice
in
my
life
I,
don't
fly
coach
I,
don't
like
cheap
and
I
like
to
do
that
for
people
and
I've
always
I've
always
been
that
way.
L
I
I
J
We
love
cupertino,
yet
we
also
want
to
share
what
we
have
with
the
current
and
future
residents
instead
of
ruining
it
for
them.
Cupertino
is
at
a
critical
crossroads:
suburban
versus
densification,
with
more
than
14
story.
Buildings
just
approved
the
last
week,
balanced
growth
versus
more
and
more
office
space
in
exchange
for
token
benefits,
which
might
cost
us
further
more
down
the
line.
No
more
council
members
who
collaborate,
but
mostly
with
developers
and
special
interests,
while
leaving
the
residence
in
the
dark.
No
more
council
members
who
say
they
care
and
then
rubber-stamp
whatever
Eden's
project.
J
Put
me
for
them.
No
more.
We
need
Council
members
who
believe
in
quest
roots.
Democracy,
ask
tough
questions
to
keep
the
city
staff
the
developers
and
polluters
accountable.
We,
the
people,
should
be
the
drivers
of
our
future.
Join
me
on
this
campaign
for
a
better
Cupertino
Thank
You
rotary
vote
for
the
future.
C
Savita
so
I
have
the
experience
of
the
last
four
years
working
on
all
the
issues
that
we've
just
talked
about.
I
have
the
momentum
I
have
the
experience,
I
brought
San
Jose,
Santa
Clara,
the
County
and
Apple
to
the
table
to
talk
about
transit
transit
relief.
This
is
not
half
easy,
it
doesn't
happen
overnight.
It
takes
a
lot
of
time
and
it
takes
a
lot
of
relationship
building.
It's
that's
not
collusion.
Look
at
my
flier.
D
Well,
I
already
mentioned
how
my
work
experience
has
prepared
me
for
this
role
and
I
mentioned
my
commitment
to
being
a
transparent
and
responsive
and
elected
official,
but
I
want
to
talk
a
bit
about
my
life
experience
here
in
Cupertino.
I
know
what
makes
Cupertino
sput
so
special
because
I'm
completely
a
product
of
the
city
of
this
community
of
these
wonderful
public
schools,
I
want
to
preserve
the
qualities
of
Cupertino
that
made
growing
up
here
so
special
as
a
young
person.
D
I
understand
it
takes
a
lot
more
endurance
and
work
to
gain
respect
and
I
come
from
a
resilient
generation.
That's
trying
to
survive
in
this
desperate
economy,
I'm
committed
to
laying
the
foundation
of
the
future
of
Cupertino
today
and
fostering
a
new
generation
of
leadership
in
Cupertino
I
also
have
detailed
policy
proposals
laid
out
on
my
web
site.
Thank
you.
E
One
of
them.
I
learned
the
history
of
Cupertino
and
I
know
that
we
together
we
can
build
the
best
Cupertino
in
town.
We
are
better,
then
you
know,
then,
that
talking
trash
about
people,
other
people,
let's
work
together
and
I,
know
our
residents
can
get
together
and
build
something
fabulous
in
the
next.
You
know
not
just
one
development,
but
we
have
we're
looking
at
other
developments
to
come.
So,
let's
work
together
and
I
believe
that
I
have
that
skills.
To
put
thank
you,
or
s
forward,.
F
If
you
elect
me,
what
you
get
is
proven
performance
while
I
was
on
a
City
Council
before
the
council
worked
together
and
I
stress,
work
together
and
add
a
significant
improvement
to
the
city,
including
trail
and
recreational
facilities
such
as
the
Mary,
a
via
bicycle
pedestrian
bridge
and
a
blackberry
farm
and
Stevens
Creek
Trail
renovation,
shopping
centers
were
modernized
and
a
thriving
community
gathering
place
was
established
with
the
Main
Street
project.
Finally,
Apple
Park
campus
was
approved,
providing
for
Cupertino
as
long-term
economic
security
with
direct
and
indirect
fiscal
benefits
proven
performance.
F
G
We're
gonna
have
all
the
benefits
and
we
can
think
clearly
about
it
and
we
can
make
things
better
as
well.
Let
me
try
to
make
a
very
personal
connection
in
less
than
a
minute
when
I
was
in
Harvard
Law
School,
there
was
a
federal
litigation
professor
who
said
never
ever
ever
ever,
give
it
up
for
free.
Now
we
also
had
the
Office
of
Public
Interest,
advising
at
school
there.
It
was
attention
and
as
a
very
young
student,
you
don't
really
have
a
sense
of
exactly
where
to
go.
G
I
had
a
sense
of
where
to
go
when
I
ran
for
office
here
in
2009
and
I
made
a
commitment
to
make
sure
that
we
as
a
community,
keep
on
thriving.
How
do
we
do
that?
Well,
when
you're
able
to
do
more
with
less
then
you're
able
to
really
put
forward
those
types
of
efficiencies
on
a
fundamental
level,
I
support
volunteerism,
because
it
is
something
that
is
about
giving
up
of
yourself
and
also
promoting
our
system.
I
know
how
to
think.
Please

my

you
