Description
Coverage of the May 2, 2023 Cupertino City Council Meeting.
(Part 1 of 2)
A
C
Thank
you
mayor
way,
so
the
the
council
heard
two
items
in
closed
session
today
and
took
an
action
to
authorize
the
City
attorney
to
file
a
cross-complaint
in
the
action
Sharma
versus
city
of
Cupertino.
A
Thank
you,
CT
attorney,
and
so
we
are
going
to
move
to
ceremonial
items
on
number
three.
A
D
Thank
you
on
behalf
of
Silicon
Valley
at
home.
I
would
like
to
thank
the
city
of
Cupertino
for
this
Proclamation
for
affordable
housing
month.
This
year's
theme
is
building
communities
and
by
building
communities.
We
are
finding
ways
to
make
sure
that
our
members
and
our
our
neighbors
and
our
longtime
community
members
and
new
friendly
new
neighbors
are
able
to
come
and
stay
in
the
cities
that
we
love
and
work
hard
for.
So
thank
you
so
much
for
this
Proclamation
and
thank
you
for
your
leadership
in
recognizing
this.
A
A
A
As
part
of
tonight's
ceremonial
matters,
we
have
two
proclamations
that
have
been
issued
but
are
not
being
presented
here.
So
we'd
like
to
I
would
like
to
acknowledge
them.
First
I'd
like
to
take
a
minute
to
recognize
the
month
of
May
is
Asian
American
and
Pacific
Islander,
otherwise
known
as
aapi
Heritage
Month.
So
many
Asian
Americans
in
Pacific
Islanders
have
contributed
to
our
country
and
our
City's
economy
and
supplement
the
unique
character
of
our
nation.
A
The
aapi
community
has
produced
leaders,
scientists,
teachers
and
so
many
more
people
who
have
also
campaigned
and
fought
for
a
fairer
and
more
just
Society
for
all
Americans.
We
recognize
and
celebrate
the
contributions
that
Asian,
Americans
and
Pacific
Islanders
have
made
to
our
city
state
and
Nation.
A
In
addition,
I
would
also
like
to
recognize
National
Public
Works
week,
which
is
May
21st
to
27th
this
year.
Public
Works
professionals
focus
on
infrastructure
facilities
and
services
that
are
vital
to
the
public
health
quality
of
life
and
well-being
of
our
residence
in
the
city
of
Cupertino
and
Beyond
I'd
like
to
recognize
and
thank
our
Public
Works
employees
here
in
Cupertino,
for
all
of
their
hard
work
in
maintaining
improving
and
protecting
our
City's
Parks
public
facilities
and
much
more
for
our
community.
So
thank
you
very
much
for
our
Public
Works
employees.
A
So
any
postmoderno
from
the
council
I
actually
like
to
see
if
my
fellow
council
members
I'd
like
to
make
a
recommendation,
a
motion
to
postpone
consent,
number
11.
and
the
reasons
I
like
to
postpone
and
table.
It
are
twofold.
First,
you
know
we
are
in
the
process
of
doing
housing,
elements
and
I
do
believe.
A
We
need
to
have
a
holistic
view
of
the
city,
what
are
the
same
rural
streets
and
have
an
overview
of
the
semi
Rural
Street
so
that
we
can
decide
which
ones
can
move
forward
and
which
ones
we
need
to
reconsider
in
the
housing
element.
The
second
one
is
I
am
I
would
like
to
know
the
impact
from
a
potential
common
Bridge
Project
with
this
semi
rural
destination,
so
I'm
going
to
move
that
we
tabled
number
11
for
a
future
date
until
we
have
a
little
bit
more
information
and
where
our
housing
element
is
moving
forward.
A
F
F
F
Agenda
number
11.
I
know
whether
to
postpone
or
not
we
it's
it
feels
like.
The
mayor
is
already
getting
into
some
substantive
issues
with
this
agenda
item.
Is
that
even
allowed.
C
G
Yes,
I'd
like
to
have
a
substitute
motion
that
we
do
if
I
need
to
do
this,
that
we
hear
the
item
and
not
postpone
it
because
we
have
already
had
this
item
come
to
the
city
council
before
and
they've
already
pulled
the
entire
neighborhood
to
see
what
their
opinions
are
on
the
matter.
F
A
Have
a
substitute
motion
motion
by
council
member
Moore
and
second
because
remember
ciao,
and
if
there's
no
more
discussion,
that's
vote
on
it
by
light.
A
I,
actually,
okay
with
the
suction
motion,
so
okay,
so
we'll
keep
it
on
the
so
we're
going
to
move
to
oral
Communications.
This
portion
of
the
meeting
is
reserved
for
persons.
H
B
Mayor
we
have
three
speaker
cards
in
Community,
Hall
and
I
see
one
hand
raised
on
Zoom.
So
we'll
start
with
the
the
speakers
in
Community
Hall
Sandy
James,
followed
by
Brooke
as
it
followed
by
Jennifer
Griffin,
okay,.
I
Good
evening
Madam
mayor
vice
mayor
city,
council,
city
manager,
my
name
is
Sandy
James
and
I
am
a
former
mayor
as
well
as
a
long
time
resident
of
Cupertino
and
I'm
here
tonight
to
acknowledge
and
praise
our
public
works
department
I've
been
involved
in
many
ways
in
this
city
and
all
of
us
that
live
here
see
the
work
that
the
public
works
department
does
every
single
day.
Wherever
we
go
in
the
city,
they
are
absolutely
outstanding.
I
I
just
like
to
give
you
two
personal
examples
that
that
I
am
really
touched
by
the
first
one
is
the
Veterans
Memorial.
You
know
that
I
was
the
the
co-founder
of
the
Veterans
Memorial,
the
city
staff,
from
the
very
beginning,
when
we
dedicated
that
in
2007
has
been
they
sort
of
adopted
that
Memorial
they
take
very
good
care
of
it.
The
tiles
are
always
nice
and
clean.
The
lawn
looks
beautiful
around
it.
I
I
I
could
tell
you
all
kinds
of
wonderful
stories
around
that
Memorial,
but
tonight
I
want
to
acknowledge
the
staff
that
has
really
helped
us
in
every
way
whenever
we
need
any
help
with
a
new
Boulder
being
installed
or
in
any
way
they're
there.
They
they
help
us
in
numerous
ways
and,
more
importantly,
to
me,
they
take
great
pride
in
it
and
they
take
personal
care
of
it
and
that's
an
example.
In
addition
to
that,
the
former
public
works
director,
Roger
Lee.
I
Some
of
you
knew
Roger
he
retired
about
two
years
ago,
at
the
same
time
that
my
project
manager,
passed
and
so
I
took
Roger
to
lunch
and
I
asked
him
if
he
would
be
willing
in
retirement
to
be
a
project
manager
for
any
and
any
additions
or
or
any
changes
and
improvements
that
needed
to
be
made,
and
he
very
willingly
said
yes
and
so
he's
doing
that
now
working
with
the
staff.
Obviously
they
work
very
well
together.
I
B
J
Brooke,
thank
you
good
evening.
I
would
like
to
address
the
majority
of
this
Council
about
focusing
all
of
one's
resources
on
persecuting
people
whose
only
behavioral
pattern
involves
reading.
Thinking
and
being
honest,
do
you
know
what
happens
when
you
persecute
people
doing
the
work
and
continue
to
do
so
exclusively
when
you
become
tasked
with
doing
the
work?
Well,
things
stop
working
because
no
matter
how
much
those
doing
the
persecuting
and
only
the
persecuting
pretend
to
understand
the
problem
and
not
working
for
a
solution
but
pretend
to
work
for
a
solution.
This
does
not
create
Solutions.
J
This,
in
fact
creates
more
problems
case
in
point.
Housing
is
expensive
around
here
we
need
better
Transit
and
we
need
inclusionary
zoning.
We
have
to
deliver
temporary
housing
for
unhoused
people,
because
people
are
dying
out
there.
These
are
not
easy
things
to
do,
but
there
are
real
solutions.
Yes,
they
require
work
and
thought
they
require
real
conversations
with
the
development
Community,
some
really
difficult
conversations.
What
is
not
a
solution
is
taking
money
from
development
interests
and
then
saying
whatever
it
is.
They
want
you
to
say
or
whatever
it
is
that
you
think
they
want.
J
You
to
say
why
is
this
problematic?
Why
does
reading
thinking
and
being
honest,
actually
yield
better
results?
That's
an
interesting
question,
reading,
thinking
and
being
honest,
you'll,
better
results,
because
that's
how
you
arrive
at
Solutions,
rather
than
schemes
and
cover-ups,
that's
how
you
talk
to
anyone
with
care
and
Effectiveness,
whether
you
call
them
a
friend
or
relative
neighbor
or
stakeholder.
J
That's
how
you
work
effectively
through
any
issue.
If
there's
a
disagreement,
then
share
the
perspective,
appreciate
the
thinking,
don't
smother
it,
that's
how
you
earn
and
build
respect.
If
you
instead
adopt
tactics
of
smear
and
not
doing
the
work,
then
maybe
you
feel
some
surge
of
Victory
if
the
tactics
work
for
a
cycle,
but
really
what
really
happens.
The
quality
of
thinking
erodes
to
the
point
of
being
absent
economies
fail
people
who
do
the
work
get
attacked
for
doing
the
work.
Our
problems
get
worse.
J
Does
that
sound
familiar,
please
start
doing
the
work
and,
honestly,
what
was
the
point
of
removing
the
two-thirds
majority
required
to
call
a
question?
Do
you
realize
that
is
about
building
consensus?
It
literally
has
never
been
a
problem,
and
the
majority
of
the
council
eliminated
that
that
was
incredibly
disappointing.
Please
do
your
work.
Thank
you.
K
Good
evening
city
council,
hi,
I'm,
Jennifer,
Griffin
and
I
wanted
to
speak
tonight
on
one
or
two
items,
I'm
very,
very
concerned
with
how
the
housing
element
is
rolling
out
in
California,
as
I
had
stated
in
the
Planning
Commission
last
Tuesday.
It
has
become
aware
that
50
percent
of
the
cities
in
southern
California
have
not
been
certified
by
hcd
for
their
housing
element,
and
this
is
for
the
last
two
years.
K
Hcd
has
been
running
the
cities
in
Northern
California
ragged
in
a
hamster
wheel
cycle
with
no
way
off
we're
being
threatened
with
Builders
remedy
edicts
from
the
state.
The
governor
and
Rob
Banta
are
going
after
a
suburb
of
Sacramento
for
some
reason,
just
as
they
are
going
after
Huntington
Beach,
they
appear
to
not
like
cities,
which
is
very
strange.
K
Since
Gavin
came
out
of
San
Francisco
I
am
still
trying
to
figure
that
one
out
I'm
going
to
talk
for
a
minute
about
SB,
423
I,
believe
personally,
that
the
housing
element
is
something
that
is
supposed
to
keep
the
cities
busy
so
that
they
don't
watch
to
see
what
housing
bills
are
being
churned
out
at
the
sacramental
level
by
Senator.
Weiner
and
some
other
folks
I've
been
dubious
about
the
housing
element.
Since
the
beginning,
I
said
it
was
a
dog
and
pony
show
two
years
ago.
It
is
still
a
complete
circus.
K
K
Sb
423
is
one
of
the
worst
bills
to
have
been
introduced.
Mr
weiner
has
about
four
more
years
of
his
11
years.
That
he's
allowed
to
be
in
the
legislature.
I
understand
that
he
wants
to
run
for
I
believe
he
wants
to
have
to
go
to
the
state
to
the
federal
level,
but
423
is
the
coffin.
K
Is
the
lid
on
the
coffin,
our
complete
Liberty,
to
have
local
control
and
to
live
in
our
cities
is
going
under
with
this
horrendous
spell
I'm
bringing
it
up,
because
the
main
concern
is
that
the
coastal
areas
are
going
to
be
inundated
with
housing.
It
leaves
us
open
and
vulnerable
to
builders.
Remedy
and
hcd.
I
predict
will
not
certify
us,
they
will
not
certify
Cupertino.
Thank
you
Jennifer.
It
is
a
hamster.
L
Hi
I
have
an
overhead
this
evening.
First
I'd
like
to
follow
in
Sandy
James's
footsteps
here
shout
out
to
Public.
Works
I
was
lucky
enough
to
attend
the
audit
committee
and
there
was
an
audit
of
how
the
building
project
was
handled,
but
the
library
and
Susan
Michael
did
an
absolute
Stellar
over-the-top
job.
You
know
the
Auditors
could
only
find
a
little
couple
of
little
nitpicks,
which
and-
and
you
know
we
learned
from
having
that
audit.
We
know
now
that
the
city
is
doing
a
great
job,
so
shout
out
to
Susan
Michael.
L
The
other
thing
I
learned
at
the
audit
committee
was
that
we
have
a
150
million
dollars
or
so
in
long-term
savings,
and
now
the
city
intends
to
move
toward
liquidating,
that
and
and
and
with
respect
to
the
cdtfa.
The
other
thing
I'd
like
to
mention
is
a
big
shout
out
to
Kitty
Moore
as
well,
because
without
Kitty
we
would
not
have
the
transparency
that
we
do
today
and
looking
at
some
of
the
accounts
payable.
We
now
see
the
accounts
that
the
accounts
payable
coming
from.
L
We
didn't
used
to
see
that
and
I'm
so
appreciative,
and
no
wonder
that
why
Kitty
was
has
been
voted
by
her
peers
to
have
had
leadership
positions
on
the
VTA
previously
anyway,
what's
going
on
with
the
budget,
so
the
first
slide
here
this
is
showing
per
capita
income
for
sales
tax
in
this
in
comparing
other
cities.
So
this
is
Cupertino.
You
can
see
that
cupertino's
pretty
much
gone
much
higher
than
our
peers
in
San,
Jose,
Los,
Altos,
Mountain,
View,
I.
L
Think
I've
shown
you
this
slide
before
and
and
so
I
really
want
to
see
how
we
can
live
within
our
means.
I
know
that
on
April
13
y'all
were
talking
at
potential
about
potentially
selling
our
water.
Our
water
rights
I
want
you
to
know
that.
L
That's
something
that
we
voted
for
in
1960
for
those
of
you
who
were
around
to
vote
or
even
living
here
and
and
and
it's
it's
troubling
that
that
would
be
considered
to
be
sold,
because
it's
a
publicly
traded
company
that
it
would
go
to,
we
would
have
no
control.
L
The
other
thing
is,
please,
don't
consider
selling
our
open
space
Blackberry
Farm
again.
This
is
something
that
we
voted
for.
It's
interesting
any
of
you
guys
who
pay
or
rare
the
utility
users
tax.
That
is,
that
that
was
initiated
through
the
purchase
of
Blackberry
Farm
in
1990,
and
very
clear
in
the
vote:
the
acquisition
and
preservation
of
Blackberry
Farm
as
open
space
I.
For
me,
that's
a
third
rail
issue.
L
The
other
one
is
with
respect
to
Bloomberg
News.
There's
another
article
out
there
I'd
really
like
to
see
more
transparency
coming
out
of
the
city
with
respect
to
what's
comes
worse
with
clawback
and.
B
M
And
City
Council
Members
I
would
like
to
acknowledge
the
great
work
done
recently
by
the
Cupertino
sister
cities
organization
and
specifically
the
Cupertino
sin.
Choos
is
the
cities
Association
after
a
height
of
four
or
four
years,
chsca
is
successfully
planned
and
executed
a
fantastic
delegation
from
Cupertino
to
the
sister
city
of
Sinju
Taiwan.
M
M
The
sister
city
program
is
unique
to
our
city.
It
is
Meaningful
and
builds
bonds
that
last
a
lifetime
between
the
Youth
of
Cupertino
and
our
city
and
make
them
realize
the
value
of
participating
in
the
Civic
process
and
giving
back.
It
is
a
special
and
unique
differentiator
for
Cupertino
compared
to
the
neighboring
cities
in
Santa
Clara
County.
None
of
this
would
have
been
possible
without
the
effort
of
the
leagues,
for
the
visit
this
year
to
sinchu.
M
I
encourage
the
city
to
similarly
revive
the
program
for
other
sister
cities
and
ensure
funding
is
maintained
and
expanded
for
the
sister
city
visit
I
request
the
city
to
expand
the
sister
city
programs
to
be
symmetric
in
their
eligibility
for
high
school
students.
As
you
may
be
aware,
the
property
is
not
eligible
for
high
school
students.
Kindly
expand
the
program
to
be
insured,
who
you
know
high
school
students
are
eligible.
Finally,
I
want
to
thank
mere
for
our
travel.
M
N
Good
evening,
mayor
way,
vice
mayor,
Mohan,
council
members
and
staff
I
want
to
address
the
budget
survey
that
was
posted
on
the
City
website.
It
closes
on
May
31st,
but
the
city
is
going
to
present
the
results
on
May
17th.
N
N
Also,
the
survey
is
lopsided
and
narrow
when
reducing
expenditures.
Everyone
goes
for
the
for
the
big
first
items:
hiring
freeze
eliminate
any
project,
that's
not
necessary,
such
as
some
of
the
CIP
projects.
Don't
start
new
ones,
reduce
maintenance
costs
by
maybe
going
to
70
percent
instead
of
80
on
the
street
code.
N
N
H
H
The
the
small
City
and
we
have
actually
the
place
right
here-
is
the
city
actually
through
their
own
residence,
basically
with
the
ones
without
the
knowledge,
the
building
suits
and
the
ones
I
study
from
Nation
before
the
Imports
at
the
wall
and
everywhere.
Actually,
it's
open
to
the
space,
only
a
few
centimeters,
and
also
these
people,
for
example,
from
less
than
five
feet
and
big
shells,
the
concept
story,
because
we
will
hire
their
neighborhood,
they
add
another
because,
what's
behind
the
neighborhood,
of
course,
you're
becoming
it
before
so
that's
that's.
H
The
overage
action
is
capping
the
city
alone
and
those
need
to
solve
itself,
and
you
know
you
can
talk
about
how
the
state
and
the
other
agent
is
trying
to
do
that
too
or
or
cities
and
all
the
people.
Whoever
made
that
decision,
it
comes
for
it
and
also
whoever
don't
have
the
building
background
and
try
to
make
that
decision
quickly
and
all
the
ones,
because
not
don't
need
it.
There
was
The
Beauty,
Department
and
later
on,
we
should
get
from
it.
A
You
mother
city
clerk,
I'd
like
to
thank
all
the
people
who
made
the
public
comments
thanks
for
your
time
and
effort
and
passion,
so
I'm
gonna,
move
to
consent,
calendar
and
items
number
four
to
eleven.
Do
we
in
addition
to
number
11,
do
we
have
other
items,
that's
being
pulled?
Yes,.
A
Eight,
so
we
have
eight
and
eleven
that's
being
called
okay,
so
I
like
to
open
public
comment
for
items
number
four,
five,
six,
seven,
nine
and
ten.
These
are
for
public
comments
not
for
eight
or
eleven,
but
for
the
rest
of
the
consent
calendar,
that's
not
being
pulled
so
do
we
have
any
cards.
N
Good
evening,
mayor
way,
vice
mayor,
Mohan,
council,
members
and
staff
I
want
to
speak
to
the
I
I
mean
this
is
a
lot
of
money
and
I
understand
that
a
lot
of
this
money
is
coming
from
already
designated
Bots.
N
But
item
number
10,
curves,
gutters
and
ramps
is
one
and
a
half
million
dollars
and
to
me
it
seems
like
I
I
know
in
a
normal
year
you
could
just
go
as
as
planned,
but
it's
not
a
normal
year
and
it
won't
be
for
another
10
years.
So
reducing
only
doing
higher
priority,
curbs
ramps
and
gutters
would
be
The
Prudent
way
to
go
cut
the
cut
the
budget
by
20
percent
have
them
in
the
report.
They
didn't
even
list
which
ones
they
were
going
to
do.
N
N
A
Excuse
me
we're
not
talking
about
12
right
12
is
not
on
consent.
So
when
12s
come
out
action,
please
raise
your
hand
and
speak
to
12..
Thank
you.
B
A
K
Know
I
think
I'm
starting
to
get
this
after
six
months,
but
I
still
get
really
confused.
Okay,
yeah
eight
I
had
asked
I
had
I
think
sent
several
emails,
asking
it
to
be
pulled.
It
has
been
so
I'm
still
confused
about
what
we're
doing.
I
understand.
You
know:
I've
been
coming
here,
23
years,
so
I
believe
me.
I,
know
this
agenda
by
heart.
So
I,
don't
know
why
we're
discussing
number
seven,
but
that's
what
you
guys
want
to
do
we'll
do
that.
K
So
I
want
to
make
sure
on
seven
that
Cupertino
is
not
having
to
shoulder
more
of
the
cost
burden.
Santa
Clara
is
bigger
than
Cupertino.
They
have
more
money
than
Cupertino.
They
are
probably
not
going
through
a
budget
issue
like
we
are
and
I
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
Cupertino
is
not
going
to
get
dragged
through
the
weeds
like
they
are
by
everyone
and
I
am
really
getting
tired
of
having
Mr,
Banta
and
the
governor
say
bad
things
about
my
city.
K
K
I
want
to
make
sure
that
in
this
situation
that
we
are
getting
our
bang
for
the
buck,
I
I
think
there
was
a
problem.
The
last
time
that
this
came
up,
that
it
seemed
like
Cupertino
was
having
to
give
out
a
lot
more
money.
You
know
I
like
Santa
Clara,
but
fair
is
fair.
We
have
got
to
fight
for
our
individual
cities
and
it's
nice
to
have
the
Via
shuttle,
but
we
do
have
buses
we
do
have
you
can
call
cabs,
you
can
have
a
lift
you
can
have
relatives.
K
Take
you
places
believe
me.
I
spend
a
lot
of
my
time
taking
people
places
and
it's
my
pride
and
joy
to
do
that.
But
I
really
do
not
want
Cupertino
to
get
reamed
I
don't
want
to
find
out
five
years
from
now
that
we
were
paying
the
bulk
of
this
and
Santa
Clara
has
gotten
a
free
ride
now
how's
that
for
a
Segway,
if
you
guys
can
make
sure
that
we're
not
getting
taken
to
town
in
a
town
car,
then
I
will
be
very
happy
about
this.
K
B
Thank
you
Jennifer
and
thank
you
mayor
for
catching
that
so
so,
seeing
as
eight
was
move
it
moved
to
after
the
the
action
calendar,
we
have
no
more
speaker
cards
in
Community
Hall.
However,
we
have
one
hand
raised
on
Zoom
by
San
r
welcome
San.
M
Hello,
mayor
Hui
and
city
council
I'd
like
to
make
a
clarifying
question
or
comment
on
consent.
Calendar
item
number
I
believe
it
is
item
number
six
on
the
hazardous
waste
collection
program.
It's
not
clear
to
me
from
the
staff
report.
If
the
cost
is
going
to
be
passed
on
to
the
residence
of
Cupertino,
I
would
like
to
request
that
if
these
costs
are
going
to
be
passed
on
to
the
residents
of
Cupertino
that
will
not
be
approved,
we
have
seen
a
continuous
rise
in
our
utility
bill
and
Recology
has
continued
to
rise.
M
Our
practice
and
I
want
to
make
sure
that
this
is
not
another
increase
that
we're
going
to
get
nickel
and
timed
on
so
I
request
the
city
council
to
please
take
a
look
at
item
number
six
and
understand
what
exactly
it
means
to
augment
the
funding
by
an
additional
90
705.
The
staff
report
I
could
not
make
out
from
that
if
those
costs
will
be
passed
on
in
the
form
of
additional
fees
on
restaurants,
and
so
I
want
to
bring
that
to
your
attention.
Thank
you.
A
Thank
you,
madam
city
clerk.
Can,
the
staff
answer
the
question,
or
should
we
can
we
have
a
staff
get
back
to
the
resident
about
the
the
number
six
we.
A
The
resume,
thank
you
very
much,
so
we
have
consent,
calendar,
8
and
11
Port.
It
is
customary
it's
going
to
become
a
separate
action
item,
so
we
have
to
take
public
comments
when
it
comes
up,
they
will
be
placed
after
the
action
item.
So
right
now
we
have
consent
number
four,
five:
six,
seven,
nine
and
ten
I'd
like
to
have
a
motion
to
approve
the
consent
calendar
please
except
number.
Eight
and
eleven.
A
Eleven
thank
you.
May
I
have
a
second
please.
Second,
so
it's
being
moved
and
seconded
that's
vote
by
light.
Q
R
Thank
you
city
council,
mayor
Chad,
Mosley
interim
director
of
Public
Works
Ursula
is
going
to
present
this
item
for
all
of
you
and
I
met
with
most
of
you
before
this
meeting.
I
appreciate
your
time,
and
hopefully,
we've
done
a
good
job
of
answering
your
questions
and
hopefully
Ursula's
presentation
will
provide
relevant
information
to
to
the
public
today
so
or
so.
If
you'd
like
to
start.
S
Yeah.
Thank
you
good
evening,
mayor
way.
Council
members,
I'm
Ursula
serova
environmental
programs
manager
for
the
city
of
Cupertino
I'm
here
tonight
to
present
on
the
topic
of
our
need
to
establish
a
new
agreement
or
agreements
for
disposition
of
the
city's
garbage
and
construction
and
demolition
debris.
S
S
S
S
While
Recology
does
collect
all
the
materials
they
also
through
sub-agreements
arranged
for
processing
of
the
green
and
blue
cart
materials
after
Recology
collects
those
materials.
The
Green,
Card
Organics,
are
taken
to
recology's
facility
in
San,
Jose
Consolidated
and
then
are
transferred
to
one
of
two
facilities
to
be
composted.
S
Recyclables,
like
paper
and
containers
placed
in
the
blue,
cart,
are
taken
to
green
waste
in
San
Jose,
where
they
are
sorted
and
processed
for
sale.
These
arrangements
are
all
managed
by
Recology,
as
noted
in
our
franchise
agreement.
They
will
continue
unchanged
and
they
are
not
the
topic
of
today's
item.
S
What
is
before
us
today
is
the
material
in
the
gray,
carts
and
bins,
currently
that
material
in
the
carts
and
bins,
the
gray
ones
is
collected
by
Recology
and
then
taken
to
newbie
Island
landfill
near
Milpitas
for
direct
disposal.
Recology
also
takes
construction
and
demolition
debris
to
newbie
Island,
where
it
is
sorted
for
Recovery
of
usable
materials
and
then
anything
left
over
is
disposed
into
the
landfill.
S
S
As
noted
on
the
previous
Slide,
the
city's
garbage
goes
directly
to
the
landfill,
while
material
and
construction
and
demolition
Debris
Boxes
undergo
some
processing
to
remove
recyclable
materials,
and
then
the
leftovers
are
landfilled,
as
we
think
about
the
construction,
demolition
debris
and
contemplate
new
agreements.
We
are
interested
in
what
kinds
of
diversion
rates
different
facilities
can
achieve
as
they
each
have
different
technology
and
Recovery
rates.
S
S
S
Some
people
will
willingly
do
a
good
job,
sorting
the
Organics
and
recyclables
out,
but
other
people
will
not,
as
we
come
to
the
end
of
our
current
agreement,
with
Republic
to
dispose
of
materials
at
newbie,
Island
Landfill,
which
has
been
in
place
since
1989.
One
of
the
big
questions
we
can
now
ask
ourselves
is
whether
or
not
we
want
to
send
collected
garbage
to
a
material
recovery
facility
or
Murph.
S
A
Murph
can
divert
up
to
half
or
even
more
of
incoming
garbage,
depending
on
the
technology
and
processes,
because,
as
we
saw
in
the
previous
slide,
a
lot
of
the
material
in
our
garbage
is
organic,
such
as
food
scraps
and
food.
Soiled
paper.
Routing
garbage
through
a
murf
for
processing
is
a
recommended
climate
change
mitigation
strategy
identified
in
the
city's
adopted
climate
action
plan,
cap
2.0
and
would
in
fact
accomplish
actin
item
W
1.2.
S
If
Cupertino
decided
to
send
garbage
to
a
material
recovery
facility,
it
would
not
remove
or
replace
the
green
and
blue
carts
and
bins
yard
waste.
Food
scraps
and
food
soiled
paper
could
still
go
into
the
green
carts
where
people
are
willing
and
able
and
encouraged
to
do
so,
and
recyclable
containers
and
clean
paper
would
still
go
into
blue
carts.
S
S
The
cost
of
disposal
is
just
one
part
of
the
overall
equation
in
determining
the
garbage
service
rates,
but
a
preliminary
evaluation
of
cost
for
sending
garbage
to
a
Murph
could
result
in
single-family
residents
with
32
gallon
garbage
service,
which
is
the
most
common,
paying
an
additional
five
to
eight
dollars
a
month
or
about
seven
to
fifteen
percent
more
than
they
would.
If
the
garbage
was
sent
directly
to
landfill
without
processing
in
2020,
a
survey
was
conducted
of
residence
on
topics
relating
to
garbage,
Organics
and
recyclables.
S
S
S
So
what
service
providers
are
nearby
here
is
a
map
of
the
service
providers
in
our
general
area.
Newbie
Island
Landfill,
where
our
garbage
currently
goes,
is
next
to
Milpitas,
and
then
we
can
see
that
there
are
two
other
landfills
in
the
South
San
Jose
area,
as
well
as
to
material
recovery
facilities.
S
S
S
These
proposals
would
be
reviewed
and
evaluated
in
negotiations
with
the
recommended
providers
will
begin
after
that,
as
noted
in
the
staff
report.
Communications
during
this
time
of
RFP
can
present
challenges
and
perhaps
invite
unwanted
requests.
So
we
do
want
to
call
out
our
lobbying
ordinance
and
the
broader
ethics
code
for
government
officials,
and
this
will
be
incorporated
into
the
RFP
as
well
for
proposers
to
abide
by.
S
It
is
recommended
that
if
any
proposer
approach
you
directly
that
you
direct
their
questions
and
inquiries
to
staff,
as
noted
in
the
RFP,
our
next
steps
are
to
issue
the
RFP
evaluate
proposals
and
make
recommendations
the
city's
goals,
as
stated
in
the
zero
waste
policy
from
2017
and
our
climate
action
plan,
support
ongoing
efforts
to
minimize
waste
going
to
landfill,
including
routing
garbage,
to
be
processed.
But
we
are
looking
for
guidance
from
Council
on
that
point,
in
particular,
as
we
head
into
that
process,
and
that
concludes
my
slides
and
I'm
happy
to
answer
any
questions.
P
Ursula
I
had
a
question.
We,
you
are
fairly
certain
that
the
rate
per
household
is
will
increase
by
eight
dollars
to
ten
dollars
per
month.
If
the
garbage
is
redirected
to
an
mrf.
S
P
Okay,
so
we
would
really
only
know
it
could
be
more,
it
could
be
less
depending
on
the
rfps
right,
correct,
okay,
so
this
is
something
that
we
could
consider
again
after
we
receive
the
RFP
responses.
R
If
you
wouldn't
mind,
Council
will
be
seeing
any
negotiated
contracts
prior
to
approval,
so
with
those
negotiations
we'll
be
we'll
be
back
with
numbers
at
that
point
in
time
you
can
decide
based
on
the
cost,
to
the
residents
today
we're
just
looking
for
kind
of
general
direction
as
to
a
policy
direction,
as
it
should
be
kind
of
go
out
and
look
at
the
material
recycling
facility
as
an
additional
option,
above
and
beyond
the
services
that
we
already
provide.
Cupertino.
Okay,.
E
There
was
a
slide
that
you
had
with
respect
to
the
survey
as
to
whether
or
not
residents
would
be
willing
to
pay
more
or
pay
less
and
I
didn't
notice
at
the
time
and
did
today
that
it
was
taken
in
2020.
Do
you
recall
considering
that
2020
was
a
rather
unusual
year
when
in
2020
that
might
have
happened.
F
A
joke
yeah!
Thank
you,
yeah
I,
thank
you
for
considering
this
I
think
it's
always
it's
more
price
to
pay
to
improve
on
how
we
process
our
garbage.
My
question
is
so
with
this,
but
then,
besides
the
five
to
eight
dollars,
we
also
expect
the
the
garbage
fee.
You
say
to
increase
ant
in
addition
to
the
five
to
eight
right.
S
Right,
so
this
is
kind
of
a
big,
complicated
ball
of
things,
but
all
else
being
equal
that
one
piece
of
sending
to
a
material
recovery
facility
or
not
would
be
that
additional
amount.
The
five
to
eight
estimated
we
are
going
into
a
fourth
year,
cost-based
adjustment
with
Recology,
where
we're
going
to
review
the
rates
and
bring
those
before
Council
for
approval,
that's
built
into
the
franchise
agreement,
so.
F
I
from
what
I
read,
even
with
the
the
amount
of
recyclables
that
we
produce
on
in
general,
only
five
percent
actually
gets
recycled
and
cut
capacity
of
of
this.
A
lot
of
this
recycle
processors
are
very
limited,
so
a
lot
of
them
couldn't
get
processed
and
still
went
to
the
landfill,
so
I'm
just
curious.
It's
always
good.
To
with
this
program
we
will
be
able
to
produce
more
recyclables,
but
the
product
cost
of
processing,
recyclable
globals
is
increasing
because
of
the
capacity
challenges
and
many
of
them
don't
even
get
processed
so
I'm
curious.
S
S
F
So
they
are
getting
recycled
because
I
read
multiple
sources
that
they
say
on.
There
are
a
lot
of
challenges
with
separating
the
different
kind
of
plastic
and
if
they
cannot
be,
many
of
them
are
not
cleaned
that,
if
not
separated
properly
it's.
There
are
a
lot
of
challenges
to
actually
recycle
them.
That's.
S
S
R
If
I
may,
one
of
the
biggest
things
that
we're
looking
at
with
this
with
the
material
recycling
facilities
is
Organics
we're
trying
to
pull.
R
Q
G
Sure,
okay
I,
don't
know
if
I
have
to
divulge
this,
but
I'm
I'm,
taking
an
environmental
studies
course
right
now.
Last
week
it
was
household
hazardous
waste
and
this
week
solid
waste.
G
I
was
shocked,
yeah,
so
yes
and
I
was
watching
a
video
on
on
one
of
the
murphs,
and
it
was.
G
It
was
interesting,
so
I'm
wondering
in
terms
of
the
landfills
are
these:
are
they
all
created
equally,
what
we're
looking
at
and
if,
if
they,
if
there
are
some
differences
for
how
they
are,
are
constructed,
if
some
of
them
are
doing
a
better
methane
recapture
doing
a
better
job
with
the
with
the
the
leachate
anything
like
that,
if
we
could
come
back
and
let
us
know-
or
if
you
already
know
about
that
I'm
curious
about
it,
we
did
in
this
course
look
at
look
at
all
the
landfills
in
the
Santa
Clara
County.
G
So
but
they
didn't
really
talk
about
the
actual
construction
being
different
for
them
or
yeah
things
of
that
nature.
G
If
you've
got
some
information
on
that,
that
would
help
and
then,
with
regards
to
the
murf
facilities,
if
if
we
could
have
a
little
bit
information
about
the
what's
distinguishing
one
from
another,
that
that
would
be
helpful
and
I
think
you
know,
while
we
have
that
the
the
green
bin,
maybe
you
have
some
thoughts
about
what
is
kind
of
keeping
people
from
actually
doing
that
separating
because
and
then
the
other
part
is
what
happens
when
people
don't
separate
their
Organics
when
it
goes
to
the
landfill?
S
So
the
Organics
going
to
the
landfill
today,
what
happens
to
them
so
the
the
main
difference
I
think
of
with
that
is
composting,
Organics
versus
Organics,
going
to
the
landfill
and
the
landfill
environment
is
anaerobic
and
just
that
situation
that
environment
generates
methane
as
opposed
to
a
composting
process
which
generates
more
carbon
dioxide
and
methane
is
84
times
more
potent
than
carbon
dioxide,
so
they're
both
generating
some
greenhouse
gases.
But
it's
much
worse
in
the
landfill
environment.
S
And
to
the
other
questions,
I
I
mean
we
could
ask
Peter
if
he
knows
a
bit
about
I
know
land.
All
landfills
are
not
created.
Equal.
Some
are
newer.
Some
are
older,
different
technology.
Different
lining,
I,
just
don't
know
those
answers
off
the
top
of
my
head
for
the
specific
ones
in
our
area,
but
we
could
include
that
you
know
request
in
the
RFP.
I
would
think
to
describe
their
the
makeup
of
their
facility.
A
T
Mayor
council
vice
mayor
just
a
quick
comment:
yes,
we
will,
as
part
of
the
RFP,
be
looking
at
the
regulatory
status,
which
is
really
the
key.
The
key
issue
for
the
landfills
and
checking
in
terms
of
their
permits
and
status
of
of
all
that.
A
By
the
way
from
HSN,
thank
you
Peter,
so
councilman
Memorial.
Are
you
okay
with
your
questions?
Okay,
so
my
question
is
this
agenda
is
ask
the
council
to
approve
for
you
to
go
out
to
get
estimates
and
you
can
come
back
with
reports
on
different
proposals,
so
we
can
at
that
time
can
decide
what
to
do
right,
which
one
to
pick
with
price
or
materials
or
how
they're
going
to
process
and
how
much
we
have
those
detailed
information
mayor.
O
If
I
could
interject
here,
yeah
thank
you
so
I
want
to
be
clear
on
on
the
recommendation
from
staff,
so
we're
we're
looking
at
an
increased
focus
on
recycling.
So
with
that,
we
wanted
to
be
clear
that
that
increases
the
cost
to
to
the
to
the
to
the
residents
and
the
businesses,
as
as
we're
doing
that,
it's
still
in
alignment
with
our
cap.
But
we
thought
because
there's
a
significant
decision
point
and
a
cost
increase.
We
wanted
to
check
in
with
you
to
make
sure
that
we're
still
in
alignment
in
that
direction.
O
So
our
recommendation
is
to
pursue
the
direct
the
previous
Direction
lined
out
in
the
in
the
climate
action
plan,
and
we
would
structure
the
RFP
and
the
evaluation
of
the
rfps
in
alignment
with
that.
So
we
would
be
emphasizing
the
ability
to
recycle
and
with
that,
we
would
sort
of
look
a
little
bit
less
at
the
cost
associated
with
that,
because
we
know
there's
going
to
be
an
increased
cost
so
that
that's
what
we're
asking
for
here
to
make
sure
that
we're
in
alignment
as
we
go
forward
with
that.
Okay.
A
B
Yes,
we
have
two
speaker
cards
in
house
and
we
have
I
see
two
hands
raised
on
Zoom
Jennifer
Griffin
is
first
followed
by
Rhoda
Frye.
K
K
Etc
I
was
just
curious
whether
this
would
be
come
if
you,
if
you
all
I'm
assuming,
would
contract
once
you
get
your
bids
in
ETC.
If
you
would
be
contracting
with
one
of
these
vendors
and
do
are
they?
How
is
the
contract
with
Recology
and
the
new
vendor
set
up?
Would
we
be
billed
through
Recology
would
would
a
home
in
Cupertino
receive
two
different
bills?
Would
they
be
bundled
together
and
how
does
that
affect
the
cost
increase
to
the
customer?
K
I
I
think
that
I
I'm
a
little
bit
curious
about
how
that
goes
because
I
understand
that
garbage
contracts
I
mean
coming
here.
23
years
we've
had
Recology
I
think
it
was
Los
Altos
garbage
for
a
while,
but
we've
had
various
times
that
they've
had
to
come
in
and
rebid
the
contracts
and
I'm
just
curious.
How
that
would
be
set
up
with
this
extended
environmental
setup
here
Etc?
K
It's
good
for
the
public
to
understand
how
the
contracts
are
set
up,
because
then
they
understand
more
of
what's
going
on
in
the
bidding
process,
especially
when
you
have
a
long
time
vendor
like
Recology
Cupertino
has
dealt
with
them
for
many
years.
That
way,
then
the
public
is
clued
in
on
what
to
expect,
and
there
are
no
surprises.
So
if
you
could
talk
about
after
the
bidding's
done,
how
do
they
award
the
contracts?
K
B
L
L
U
U
I
heard
this
being
discussed
on
my
way
in
and
I
did
hear
councilmember
chao's
questions
with
regard
to
Plastics,
and
it
made
me
really
want
to
put
in
a
plug
for
awareness
of
the
fact
that
we
really
do
have
a
very
serious
plastic
contaminants
issue
worldwide
and
if
you'll
recall
back
when
I
was
on
Council.
Last
year
and
mayor,
we
held
a
mayor
scope
challenge.
It
was
an
inaugural
challenge,
talking
about
the
issue
of
microplastics,
and
these
are
not
questions.
U
I
think
that
are
immaterial
to
the
situation
that
you're
looking
at
here
and
a
lot
of
the
discussion
that
we
had
last
year
was
about
the
various
influences
on
the
reality
of
what's
happening
right,
because
petroleum
usage
in
vehicles
is
projected
to
go
down
for
obvious
reasons,
but
at
the
same
time,
the
industry
right
fueled
by
a
lot
of
motivational
dollars,
is
wanting
to
Output
more
of
these
materials.
And
how
do
they
do
that?
Well,
unbeknownst
to
a
good
portion
of
people.
U
So
as
pertains
to
something
like
this,
if
we're
focusing
upon
the
various
things
that
we
can
do,
even
though
most
of
these,
perhaps
by
weight
or
Organics,
this
is
also
an
accumulative
problem
right,
because
what
doesn't
end
up
getting
recycled
often
gets
you
know.
Decomposed-
and
you
know,
we
wouldn't
have
thought
it
30
years
ago,
when
we
thought
we
had
these
brand
new
shoes
or
whatever
they
were
little
covers
on
DVDs,
but
right
now,
they're
degrading
and
a
lot
of
these
things
go
out
into
our
environment.
U
B
N
Good
evening,
mayor
boy,
vice
mayor,
Mohan,
council,
members
and
staff
I'm
concerned
with
the
increase
eight
dollars
per
month
for
12
months
is
72
dollars
a
year
and
that's
only
one
utility
we've
got
electricity,
gas,
water,
sewer
and
now
garbage
you
can't
look
at
this
in
a
vacuum,
you're
impacting
us
all
across
the
board.
Please
the
survey
taken
in
2019
since
then,
we've
had
layoffs,
all
utilities
have
been
increasing,
we're
going
into
another
recession,
we're
impacted
and
it's
not
getting
any
better
right.
Now
the
presentation
stressed
Organics
not.
L
N
Other
recyclables
50
going
in
landfills
are
Organics
and
that's
that's
bad
I
understand
that
punishing
everyone
for
actions
by
a
selected
group
of
people
out
of
either
ignorance
or
just
not
caring,
doesn't
make
sense
rewarding
people
for
getting
it
right.
Educating
so
that
you
can
train
them.
N
I
think
that
gets
more
benefit
than
charging
us
to
do
this.
My
husband
and
I,
encouraged
by
our
son
and
daughter-in-law,
we
focused
on
Organics
and
the
city,
had
had
set
a
orange
juice
container
and
expected
everybody
to
use
it
for
the
Organics
and
it
didn't
work.
It
leaked
it
was
just
ugly,
but
we
found
something
that
hangs
on
a
cabinet,
a
bottom
kitchen
cabinet
and
there
are
bags
that
are
compostable,
that
that
line
this
little
tub.
N
It's
like
a
little
bucket
and
it's
very
convenient
and
we've
done
it
and
it
and
we've
reduced
our
trash,
buy
a
whole
bag
and
we
have
one
of
those
small
gray
trash
cans.
So
that's
significant,
but
it
took
somebody
saying:
oh,
you
can
use
this
and
there
are
bags
to
line
it.
Educate
us
show
us
what
we
can
do
to
improve.
Don't
punish
us
with
additional
costs.
N
My
ask
is
that
you
not
increase
the
cost
of
the
residents
at
this
time.
Educate
reward
us
have
fun
games
where
it's
difficult
to
recycle,
see
how
many
people
can
get
it
right
anyway.
The
increases
amount
up.
Please
consider
that
thank.
M
M
Furthermore,
you're
not
considering
the
lower
income
trattor
of
Cupertino.
On
the
one
hand,
we
talk
about
affordable
housing,
concessional
housing,
homeless,
housing
and
all
of
these
initiatives
that
are
intended
for
equity.
On
the
other
hand,
we
talk
about
projects
that
go
after
higher
utility
prices,
solving
upper
class
problems,
ignoring
the
day-to-day
challenges
that
people
face.
M
It
is
hard
for
me
to
understand
how
City
staff
makes
these
recommendations.
Perhaps
they
don't
live
in
the
city
and
they
don't
have
to
pay
for
this
I.
Don't
understand
how
the
council
makes
these
suggestions
that
are
completely
out
of
touch
with
the
restaurants
and
I'm
disappointed
that
our
next
mayor
is
also
making
the
same
suggestion.
I
agree
with
Peggy.
M
A
Thank
you,
mother,
CD
clerk
I'd
like
to
thank
all
the
public
comments.
Alice
especially
recognize
our
immediate
former
mayor,
Darcy
Paul.
Thank
you
for
coming
and
so
we're
going
to
close
the
public
comment
and
go
back
to
the
council
for
a
discussion.
G
S
Do
Recology
offers
a
low-income
discount
that
is
available
and
to
the
previous
question,
it
will
all
be
on
the
garbage
bill.
There
will
not
be
separate
bills,
so
it
will
all
be
folded
in
okay,
the
same
way
it
is
now
seamlessly
with
you
know,
even
though
we
have
an
agreement
with
a
separate
landfill.
That's
all
on
the
on
the
garbage
bill.
Okay,.
G
And
then,
when
I'm
looking
over
at
San
Jose
area,
I've
noticed
that
all
of
their
yard
waste
goes
out
into
the
street
and
they
do
a
pickup
right
from
the
street,
but
they
don't
separate
the
their
their
Solid
Waste
out
so
that
all
of
the
the
kitchen
scraps
and
everything's
going
in
there.
And
then
you
have
a
recycle
bin
for
to
pull
out
your
paper
and
plastic
and
all
like
that.
So
have
you
looked
at
the
at
what
they're
charging
as
a
comparison
for
what
we
have
for
rates
here
for
a
comparison.
S
G
Okay,
just
quickly
so
I
I,
really
like
the
idea
of
individuals
separating
it
out
themselves
in
that
saves
on
cost.
But
if
we're,
if
we
have
a
situation
where
people
just
actually
are
not
doing
it,
then
one
way
is
to
have
some
kind
of
enforcement.
And
are
you
anticipating
that
happening.
S
Sb
1383
actually
requires
us
to
enforce
proper
separation
beginning
in
2024.,
so
we
will
be
going
out
and
trying
to
do.
Enforcement
I
mean
you
know
there
are
sixty
thousand
residents,
so
you
know
we're
not
going
to
be
at
every
14
000
single
family
homes
every
week,
but
we're
going
to
try
to
do
our
best
to
you
know:
do
Outreach
education,
flip
Lids,
offer
friendly
feedback
and
encouragement,
we're
not
going
to
lead
with
know
citations
or
anything.
We
always
want
to
lead
with
education,
but
the
state
law
does
require
us
to
enforce
beginning
2024.,
okay,.
G
So
that's
that's!
Coming
up!
That's
wow!
Okay!
So
with
regards
to
that,
do
you
anticipate
there
will
be
a
citation
like
like
a
parking
ticket
type
of
thing
coming
at
some
point,
it's.
S
S
Sunnyvale
Mountain
View,
obviously
San
Jose
channels
through
I'm,
not
sure
about
the
West
Valley
Cities
Peter
may
know.
If
we
want
to
have
him
join
us
again,.
S
F
F
What
I
find
is
I
put
my
Organics
in
this
little
bin,
which
has
a
lid
that
the
city
provide.
It
works
great.
However,
I
don't
have
yard
waste
every
week
since
I
don't
have
a
long.
So
certainly
for
the
weeks,
I
don't
have
any
yard
waste.
There
is
no
place
for
me
to
put
my
Organics
so
I.
Would
then
this
kind
of
program
offer
place?
We
can
drop
off
Organics
because.
S
S
F
O
I,
if
I
could
interject
really
quick,
I
think
the
time
and
effort
for
putting
it
in
a
in
your
green
bin
and
putting
your
green
bin
out
in
the
curb
would,
for
it
be
far
less
than
the
time
and
effort
of
driving
it
to
a
different
location.
So
we
continue
to
recommend
that
you
use
the.
S
F
O
Our
intent
is
to
bring
back
a
staff
recommendation
and
that's
why
we're
here
tonight.
We
want
to
get
your
guidance
early
on,
so
that
we
can
do
the
evaluation
and
bring
back
a
solid
recommendation
that
aligns
with
what
we
think
is
correct:
the
cap,
the
climate
action
plan
and
we're
hoping
that
you
can
provide
that
direction
tonight,
so
that
we
can
bring
a
solid
recommendation
to
you
for
a
contract
award.
When
we
come
back.
F
Really
appreciate
that
you
bring
this
to
the
council
early
on
to
get
direction
and
I'm
just
wondering
in
Inc.
There
might
be
multiple
providers
and
degrees
of
sustainability.
Maybe
the
cost
difference
will
be
five
dollars
a
month
ten
dollars
a
month
and
so
that,
if
there
is
option
we
always
want
to
do
good.
But
then
we
need
to
balance
and
need
the
cost.
F
O
E
S
So
so
far
with
SB
1383,
you
know:
we've
we've
made
sure
everyone
has
their
service
available
to
them,
which
luckily
we
we
mostly
had
in
place.
We
had
some
stragglers
that
we
picked
up
and
everyone
has
service.
We
do
focus
more
on
Commercial
generators
because
obviously
they're
going
to
have
a
larger
amount
for
a
single
generator.
S
So
far,
we've
had
good
luck
just
well.
You
know
we
we
go
out
and
educate,
we
look,
educate
and
work
with
them
and
and
we've
had
good
success
with
bringing
folks
into
compliance.
It's
an
ongoing
effort,
so
we
between
Recology
staff
and
our
own
staff
we're
out
looking
in
bins
every
week,
it's
especially
with
San
Jose.
You
know
wanting
everyone
to
put
it
in
the
garbage,
and
you
have
people
commuting
here
to
work.
A
So
I
like
to
make
some
comments.
We
just
had
our
Earth
day
and
then
all
five
high
schools
in
our
Fremont
Union
High
School
District,
had
their
separate
Earth,
Day
and
I
was
fortunate
to
attend.
One
of
them
and
the
speech
I
made
is
Cupertino
is
taking
meaningful
action
to
reduce
greenhouse
gas
emission
and
mitigate
climate
action
change
impacts.
The
city
adopted
climate
action
2.0
in
August
of
last
year.
A
This
plan
outlines
the
next
generation
of
strategies
to
achieve
a
carbon-free
city
by
2040
and
is
comprehensive
of
all
sectors
of
our
local
economy,
including
clean
energy,
Transportation,
zero
waste,
adapting
to
climate
change
and
working
with
nature.
I
do
think
our
city
needs
to
take
a
lead
and
walk
the
talk
and
really
work
on
our
cap
2.0
and
move
forward
in
reducing
waste.
It's
I've
seen
you
know,
I
know
like
as
a
family.
We
try
to
separate
the
ways
councilmember
ciao
I,
my
garden
only
come
every
other
week.
A
So
one
week
my
guard,
my
green
bean
will
be
empty,
so
what
I
do
is
I
put
them
in
in
a
shopping
in
grocery
shopping
bags,
which
are
paper
so
that
contains
the
you
know
the
way,
so
it
doesn't
contaminate
the
the
the
green
thing
and
I
do
it
on
Monday
on
the
day
that
they're
going
to
pick
a
garbage.
So
that's
my
solution,
because
you
know
you
don't
want
it.
The
the
beans
to
be
really
dirty
smell
of
food,
so
I
think
we
can
make
an
effort
to
really
do
it.
A
Ourselves
and
I
am
very
pleased
that
the
city
staff
is
recommending
that
we
go
forward
and
really
be
a
leader
in
this
area.
So
that's
my
comment
and
do
we
have
any
other
more
comments?
If
councilmember
Moore,
you
have
about
a
minute
and
45
seconds,
okay,.
G
Thank
you
mayor
way,
I
agree
and
I'd
like
to
see
as
much
diversion
as
we
can
possibly
do.
I,
but
I
am
a
Mindful
and
respectful
for
the
the
individuals
who
are
concerned
about
the
costs.
G
So
if
there,
if
there's
there's
like
an
optimal
solution
for
the
for
the
best,
we
can
do
with
the
technology
that
we
have
right
now.
I
I'd
be
interested
in
hearing
that
and
whether
or
not
there's
some
trade-off
for
different
Murph
facilities,
which
have
a
more
advanced
technology
and
also
with
regards
to
the
landfill.
G
If
there's
some
landfills,
which
are
actually
doing
a
better
job
than
others,
I
I,
don't
know
what
the
answer
is
to
that,
but
I
I'm
interested
in
in
hearing
about
it
and
while
you
know
I
mentioned
I,
was
taking
this
class
I,
remember
being
a
kid
going
to
the
the
dump
and
back
then
it
was
a.
It
was
an
open.
It
was
an
open
dump,
no
liner,
nothing
and
that's
where
most
of
them
are
like.
So
I'm
I'm,
really
glad
to
see
that
this
has
improved
so
much
over
the
past
30
and
40
years.
P
Please
one
comment:
since
there
are
several
parties
involved
in
it:
there's
the
landfill
owner,
there's
Recology.
S
Probably
not
likely,
and
even
as
it
is
now,
the
the
market
rate
for
landfill,
just
direct
disposal
to
landfill
is
a
bit
higher
than
what
we're
paying
under
our
current
agreement.
So
even
if
we
kept
disposing
direct
to
landfill,
we'd
likely
see
a
little
bit
of
an
increase
just
to
come
up
to
Market
and
that.
But
if
are
you
asking
more.
N
S
For
pulling
more
out
exactly
yeah,
that's
an
interesting
question:
I
I
think,
with
the
increased
expense
of
going
through
the
processing.
I,
don't
know
if
there
would
be
a
cost
benefit,
but
that's
something
HF
and
H
will
help
us
evaluate.
A
A
So
I
think
if
we
might
want
to
encourage
our
students
to
propose
to
the
district
and
follow
the
Cupertino
City's
lead,
so
they
are
separates
all
like
Fremont
Union,
High,
School,
Districts,
USD
and
40
audience
that
they
all
have
separate
agreements.
