Here,
thank
you,
madam
city
clerk.
Now
we
are
very
happy
to
have
one
ceremonial
items
and
we
like
to
welcome
our
captain.
Neil
vanillas
Venezuela
can
I
spell
it
correctly
say
it
correctly
to
welcome
him
back
to
Cupertino
and
also
to
serve
us
as
Captain
of
West
Valley
Patrol
Division
of
Santa
clarity,
County
Sheriff's
Office,
we're
all
going
to
come
and
take
a
picture
with
you,
but
Captain
Neil.
Please
say
a
few
words.

Hello,
everyone
Captain
Neo
Valenzuela
I've
spent
over
20
years
with
the
Sheriff's
Office,
primarily
here
in
the
city
of
Cupertino.
As
a
patrol
officer,
I
was
a
detective
here.
I
was
a
sergeant
here
for
a
little
bit.
I
served
as
a
lieutenant
assistant
division
Commander
with
now
under
Sheriff
Ken
Bender
I
led
our
Internal
Affairs
unit
for
about
five
years
and
then
I
wanted
to
return
back
here
to
West
Valley
I
worked
with
Captain
Rich
Serena,
who
has
moved
on
as
the
investigations
division
Commander.
D
A
C
A
Moments,
mayor,
okay,
so
I
like
to
make
a
order
of
the
day
proposal.
We
have
a
couple
items
at
the
end
of
the
agenda,
which
is
public
hearings,
item
number,
27
and
ordinance
and
action
items
number
28
I
like
to
move
them
both
of
them
right
after
the
oral
Communications.
So
we
can
get
the
business
done
before
we
go
to
the
consent.
Agenda
may
I
have
a
second
please.
A
Thank
you
all
right.
So,
let's
go
to
our
Communications.
This
portion
of
the
meeting
is
reserved
for
persons
wishing
to
address
the
Council
on
any
matter
within
the
jurisdiction
of
the
council,
but
not
on
the
agenda.
The
total
of
time
for
our
communication
will
ultimately
be
limited
one
hour,
individual
speakers,
please
turn
your
cards
to
the
city
clerk
or
raise
your
hands
in
Zoom.
I
would
like
to
start
oral
communication,
and
if
you
would
like
to
speak,
please
raise
your
hand
or
turn
a
card
in
within
five
minutes.
Thank
you.
C
F
Good
evening,
council
members
and
thank
you
for
your
service
to
the
community,
as
you
may
know,
Santa
Clara,
County,
Supervisor,
Joe
simidian
has
three
goals
for
the
Lehigh
cement
and
Quarry
in
the
Hills
to
out
west
to
revoke
the
cement
plant.
Permit
close
the
Quarry
now
that
Lehigh
has
stopped
Mining
and
begin
Reclamation
on
the
property.
F
A
current
project
to
raise
the
levy
in
Alviso
alone
will
use
an
estimated
300
000
cubic
yards
of
Plainfield.
There
must
be
a
better
use
for
clean
fill
than
Trucking
it
into
the
Lehigh
Quarry.
When
lehi's
current
Reclamation
plan
States
there's
enough
bill
on
the
property
to
do
this
now
that
the
Limestone
to
make
cement
has
been
exhausted,
Lehigh
wants
to
start
a
new
landfill
business
that
will
increase
truck
traffic
in
our
community
and
delay
the
Reclamation
of
this
property
on
this
property.
F
C
G
Now,
when
we
started
this
over
a
decade
ago,
we
were
kind
of
lonely
voices
but
over
time
found
a
number
of
allies,
including,
very
importantly,
the
city
of
Cupertino.
That
became
active
in
trying
to
make
Lehigh
more
accountable
for
the
impact
of
its
activities
on
the
surrounding
community
and
two
years
ago.
As
a
result
of
a
major
accident,
the
damaged
cement
plant
Lehigh
shut
down
the
Plant,
and
just
at
the
end
of
last
year,
Lehigh
announced
that
they
did
not
plan
to
restart
the
operation
and
the
cement
plant
has
really
been.
G
It's
important
to
note
that,
although
active
mining
terminated
at
Lehigh
nearly
three
years
ago
in
2020,
we're
still
waiting
for
the
Reclamation
effort
to
start,
as
is
spelled
out
in
their
approved
2012
Reclamation
plan,
it
needs
to
be
carried
out
to
protect
the
view
shed
in
the
Ridgeline
protection
deed,
as
the
Ridgeline
has
already
crumbled,
50
to
75
feet
and
continues
to
be
a
serious
risk.
The
county
needs
to
insist
that
Lehi
now
begin
the
Reclamation
project
and
also,
as
Wallace
has
said,
to
oppose
the
plan
to
turn
the
Quarry
into
a
for-profit
landfill.
G
C
H
Thank
you
very
much
good
evening
city,
council,
members
and
happy
2023..
Thank
you
most
sincerely
for
your
energies
devoted
to
our
city.
I
agree
with
the
previous
two
speakers
on
Lehigh
and
support
supervisor
submittian's
efforts,
but
that's
not
my
subject
tonight
rather
I'm
here
to
again
voice
my
agreement
with
the
popularly
supported.
H
In
fact,
majority
supported,
Blackberry
Farm
plan
option
that
transitions
Blackberry
Farm
from
its
current
Golf
Course
operation
to
a
natural
habitat,
with
non-intrusive
public
enjoyment
of
trails,
Vistas
and
Open
Spaces,
while
the
majority
of
Cupertino
residents
pulled
by
City
staff
share
my
view,
no
doubt
for
a
variety
of
reasons.
Such
a
cross-section
is
not
always
available
to
speak
directly
to
the
council
during
meetings
they're
out
there,
but
not
always
able
to
be
in
here
even
virtually.
H
H
A
recent
scholarly
article
in
the
journal,
American
scientist,
describes
a
wildlife
from
insects
to
birds
to
small
mammals
and
larger
Predators
adjust
to
living
alongside
human
development.
Characteristically
birds
and
animals
seek
to
avoid
people
not
only
their
immediate
presence,
but
also
their
distant
sounds
and
their
artificial
light.
H
Besides
these
challenges,
human
construction
and
development
activities
are
altering
the
roaming,
behaviors
and
activity
levels
of
insects,
birds
and
animals.
Changes
can
force
them
further
into
conflict
with
human
Neighbors.
The
solutions
we
must
strive
to
prioritize
are
those
which
lead
to
the
greatest
good,
providing
isolated
corridors
for
wildlife
to
pass
is
an
inadequate
response.
Too
often
these
are
wrongly
cited
and
the
wildlife
they
are
designed
to
support,
fail
to
read
the
memo
or
observe
the
change
in
the
case
of
Blackberry
Farm.
H
The
greatest
good
for
this
wonderful,
open
space
environment
is
allowing
nature
to
recreate
and
restore
a
habitat,
is
unobtrusive
as
possible
to
the
wildlife
it
contains
so
as
to
maximize
the
benefit
of
this
land
and
minimize
or
eliminate
the
driving
of
wildlife
under
stress
into
nearby
neighborhood
I
will
quickly
add
the
enormous
significant
issue
of
watershed
and
water
resources.
Water
requirements
for
Golf
Course
operations
are
expensive,
expensive
because
we
pay
money
expensive
because
we
lose
this
resource
further
applications.
H
C
I
I
have
talked
to
many
homeless
individuals
in
Cupertino
ever
since
I
moved
here
like
when
15
years
ago,
and
most
people
need
psychiatric
Medical.
Care
I
contacted
the
Santa
Clara
County
Library
Medical
Center
they're
happy
to
come
to
see
patients
in
Cupertino
once
a
week.
Only
during
the
day
only
I
need
a
space
so
that
the
patients
I
see
on
the
street
can
be
seen
by
doctors
of
Valley,
Medical
Center,
namely
doctor
and
ball.
I
She
is
very
willing
to
come
rescue.
The
people
and
I
need
a
place.
I
contact
the
city
hall
for
possible
locations
in
our
vast,
empty
land,
open
office
spaces.
Doing
nothing
Well
me
to
keep
homeless
people
during
the
day
so
that
they
can
be
seen
by
doctors
and
possibly
another
place
where
those
people
could
stay
in
the
night
under
the
roof
or
if
they
are
suffering
from
post-traumatic
disorder
and
if
they
cannot
stay
housed,
a
space
that
they
can
peacefully
and
legally
stay
overnight.
I
C
J
K
K
Our
city
hall
should
reflect
that.
So
when
putting
the
plans
together,
I
would
urge
you
to
consider
the
climate
goals
that
we
have
adopted
as
a
city
and
when
you're
validating
plans
to
do
a
complete
life
cycle,
cost
analysis
that
takes
into
account
the
environmental
impact
as
well
as
all
the
other
costs
wanted
to
bring
your
attention
to
the
new
Sunnyvale
City
Hall
that
is
being
constructed,
which
they're
planning
to
have
it,
be
a
lead,
Platinum
certified.
K
Building
it's
going
to
have
underground
parking
so
as
to
cut
down
the
amount
of
asphalt
space
around
it.
It's
going
to
have
a
massive
solar
array
on
its
roof,
which
will
make
it
one
of
the
first
Net
Zero
Energy
City
Halls
in
the
country,
so
they
are
really
moving
forward
with
trying
to
create
something.
K
That
is
is
an
example
to
City
Halls
all
around
the
country
and
especially
for
Silicon
Valley,
and
it
would
be
great
if
we
would
consider
doing
something
like
that
as
well
to
really
live
up
to
our
climate
goals
and
and
set
an
example
for
all
the
industry
in
our
city.
And
those
are
all
my
comments.
Thank
you
for
your
time.
C
L
I
know
that
we
are
having
a
lot
of
rain
and
there's
efforts
to
reclaim
the
water
Etc,
but
I
wondered
if
it
was
willingness
to
add
to
a
meeting
or
a
work
to
have
a
system
to
report
where
the
public
can
go
on
there
anonymously
and
just
go
hey.
Could
someone
go
check
this
out
or
even
send
them
an
email
through
the
system,
so
it
doesn't
cause
more
staff
hours
to
add
up.
So
if
it
was
a
system
online
where
it
could
the
person
reporting
it
could
easily
get
that
over
to
the
person.
L
In
other
words,
we
need
to
have
a
system,
that's
going
to
actually
work.
If
we
have
these
rules
about
saving
water
and
some
neighbors
are
still
watering
daily,
even
through
all
this
storm,
it
was
just
very,
very
noticeable
during
the
big
storm.
So
I
just
wanted
to
see
about
that,
and
then
one
other
item
I
had
noted
was
whether
or
not
and
I.
L
Don't
know
this
I
don't
know
where
to
find
if
we,
the
city,
still
uses
pesticides,
toxic
pesticides
to
eliminate,
bugs
and
and
to
take
care
of
our
lawn
and
our
that's
a
big.
We
have
pets
and
taking
care
of
the
environment
and
the
water,
and
it
going
down
into
our
water
table.
I
just
wanted
to
also
bring
that
to
your
attention.
That's
all.
Thank
you.
Thank.
M
Okay,
thanks
hi,
first
off
I
really
wanted
to
be
there
in
person.
This
whole
meeting,
because
and
I'm
so
thankful
that
all
five
of
the
council
members
and
we've
got
two
staff
members
actually
they're
in
person
together,
because
that's
what
I
asked
for
and
that's
what
I'm
hoping
continues.
Oh
sorry,
Kristen
Kirsten
I
didn't
three
staff.
Members
and
I
couldn't
get
there
because
I
was
working.
I
couldn't
leave
in
time
and
I
wanted
to
get
to
this
part.
But
I
did
I
had
two
minutes
and
I'm
sure.
M
If
I
try
to
get
to
City
Hall
for
my
house,
two
minutes
I
would
have
met
one
of
our
signed
deputies.
So
sorry
I'm
not
there,
but
thank
you
all
for
being
there
great
comments
from
residents
on
Lehigh
and
and
the
effort
to
get
them
to
truly
shut
down
in
every
way,
shape
and
form
so
that
we
can
be
properly
reclaiming
that
site.
Somehow
Blackberry
Farm
golf
Connie
clownhouse
from
Audubon
Society
has
spoken
a
previous
meeting.
M
You
know
at
first
wanting
a
natural
habitat,
but
realizing
that
Golf
and
natural
habitat
could
co-exist
spoke
to
that
effect
and
I
can't
remember
the
date
of
that.
It
wasn't
all
that
long
ago.
So
I
just
want
to
repeat
that,
and
as
far
as
people
saying
quality
of
life
in
Cupertino
related
to
the
Blackberry
Farm
Golf
Course,
we
need
to
have
that
option
for
quality
of
life.
M
So
again
like
two
things
can
co-exist
if
it's
done
properly
and
I
truly
believe
that
that's
truly
the
majority
of
the
people
want
that,
because
if
you
did
listen
to
people
speak
at
The
Joint
meeting
at
another
meeting,
that
is
what
the
turnout
was
not
in
written
form.
The
people
that
actually
spoke.
M
Etc
and
I
really
do
not
believe
we
should
go
forward
with
something
that
is
going
to
cost
any
more
than
let's
say
30
million.
Now,
let's
do
40.
40
million
without
having
it
go
to
a
proper
vote
of
Resident
I,
don't
see
how
a
70,
70
million
plus
project
should
ever
be
decided
by
the
five
of
you
on
the
diet.
A
C
C
A
C
N
Oh
good
evening,
again
mayor
away
waste
mayor,
Moen
and
council
members,
my
name
is
Connie
Cunningham
I,
remember,
I've
been
a
resident
for
34
years.
2023
is
our
opportunity
to
turn
the
corner
on
biodiversity
in
Cupertino,
biodiversity
is
critical
to
human
life.
We
can
change
how
we
landscape
our
property
and
we
can
add
property
dedicated
to
Nature
at
the
last
three
City
Council
meetings.
N
I
spoke
about
plunging
biodiversity
worldwide,
explaining
that
it
is
critical
for
humans
to
better
understand
what
it
is,
how
it
must
be
turned
around
and
to
pritor
it
the
prioritize
actions
in
favor
of
biodiversity,
while
talking
to
someone
I
discovered
that
we
each
come
to
understanding
biodiversity
from
different
places.
How
did
I
come
to
that
understanding?
N
First,
I
fell
in
love
with
bird
watching
in
Yosemite,
when
I
first
saw
a
western
manager
bright,
red
head,
yellow
body
black
wings
that
year
I
bought
binoculars
and
watched
birds
in
earnest
that
led
to
speaking
to
City
Council
on
behalf
of
birds,
with
the
wonderful
conclusion
that
Cupertino
approved
our
bird
safe
and
Dark
Skies
ordinance
from
my
research
for
that
effort.
My
awareness
of
the
need
for
biodiversity
grew:
I
have
spoken
at
sustainability,
commission
meetings
to
urge
adding
biodiversity
and
the
planting
of
trees
to
climate
action
plan
2.0.
N
This
approved
plan
specifically
includes
trees
and
other
plants
for
carbon
sequestration.
Without
the
assistance
of
trees
and
plants
it
is,
it
may
not
be
possible
for
California
to
meet
its
carbon
girls.
Governor
Newsom
has
signed
an
executive
order
known
as
30
by
30
that
pledges
California
to
conserve.
30
percent.
N
N
Good
news
there
are
native
plant
landscapers
to
help
us
to
jump
start
all
of
our
imaginations.
There
is
an
in-person
growing
native's
Garden
Tour
on
April,
1st
2023
for
Cupertino
and
other
nearby
cities.
It
is
sponsored
by
the
California
Native
Plant
Society
Santa
Clara
Valley
chapter
in
association
with
ucce
Master
Gardeners
of
Santa
Clara
County
I
invite
each
one
of
you
to
take
this
tour
with
me,
or
maybe
just
two
I
forgot
about
that
brown
acting.
N
Of
course,
if
you
prefer
to
attend
on
your
own,
you
may
register
at
the
website
below
which
I
forgot
to
bring
okay
there
it
is
I
will
send
it
on
an
email
to
you.
In
conclusion,
what
can
city
council
do
to
increase
biodiversity?
Learn
more
about
native
plants.
Number
one
understand:
biodiversity's
impact
on
humans,
two
ask
how
each
project
supports
biodiversity
when
it
comes
to
counsel
and
thirdly,
approve
restoring
nature
to
16
acres
of
land
option
b
at
Blackberry
golf
course
this
year.
Thank
you
for
this
time
to.
C
O
O
There
are
a
lot
of
things
that
have
happened
since
we
had
the
atmospheric
River
Santa
Cruz
right
now
is
a
complete
disaster.
There
are
roads
that
have
completely
Fallen
apart.
Highway
17
was
impassable
most
days
of
the
last
probably
14
days
and
I'm
very,
very
concerned
that
a
lot
of
money
is
not
being
spent
on
maintaining
our
infrastructure.
Roads
are
very,
very
important.
I
learned
during
the
atmospheric
River,
the
30-foot
waves
that
hit
Capitola
broke
three
Piers.
O
They
broke
Seascape
I'm,
sorry,
they
broke
seacliffs
Pier,
they
broke
the
Capitola
pier
and
they
broke
the
Santa
Cruz
Pier.
At
the
boardwalk
there
was
one
afternoon
there
were
30
foot
waves
that
did
this.
They
inundated
Rio,
Del
Mar
Beach,
understand
that
Seacliff
is
completely
the
everything
was
wiped
out
there
and
I
was
scared
several
times
that
my
mother's
area
was
going
to
be
have
to
be
evacuated.
I
was
wrong,
though,
because
what
happened
is
they
evacuated?
O
The
low-lying
areas
near
her
and
I
commend
Santa
Cruz
County
for
being
very,
very
proactive
for
this,
and
one
of
the
reasons
why
they
did
this
was
they
kept
roads
open
for
evacuation
routes.
I
I
did
not
understand
why
they
were
doing
this,
but
it's
very
important
that
if
you
have
areas
where
you
have
people
that
are
subject
to
Creeks
Rivers
Rising,
there
could
be
flooding
that
you
keep
the
roads
open.
O
They
kept
them
open
to
Highway
one-
and
this
is
a
very,
very
important
thing
to
remember
that
when
you
start
building
in
areas
such
as
the
Santa
Cruz
mountains,
which
are
highly
unstable
for
various
reasons,
earthquakes
or
land
movement,
you
need
to
keep
evacuation
routes.
Open,
I
learned
a
lot
in
the
last
10
days
by
having
by
following
what
was
happening,
I'm
going
to
say,
KSBW,
Channel,
8.,
I
sure
wish
we
got
that
in
Santa,
Clara
County.
We
used
to
that.
They
were
amazing.
O
They
had
so
many
reports
of
what
was
happening
in
Santa
Cruz
Highway
17
has
been
plagued
by
ongoing
issues
with
potholes
I
almost
hit
one
down
by
Lexington.
They
can't
keep
them
filled
and
I.
Think
that
we
need
to
start
looking
at
the
many
that
needs
to
be
spent
on
infrastructure
upgrades
and
I
am
very
concerned
that
we're
going
to
have
levees
breaking
in
the
delta.
No
one
spends
many
on
levies
you're
going
to
have
more
flooding,
so
I
really
am
going
to
put
a
shout
out
for
people.
C
C
P
Some
of
you
might
know
me
from
the
Grateful
dads
I'm,
one
of
the
Grateful
dads,
a
singing
group
anyways,
so
I
just
want
to
the
subject,
is
diversity
and
Recreation
a
lot
of
cities.
Municipalities
are
trying
to
strive
to
do
that.
You've
got
a
bocce
ball
court.
You've
got
volleyball
courts,
you
got
a
swimming
pool.
We
need
to
keep
that
Golf.
Course
I
participated
in
that
September,
9th
Joint,
Commission,
Zoom
meeting
went
to
the
end.
We
went
into
the
wee
hours
and
I
was
happy
to
see
that
no
rash
decisions
were
made.
P
As
a
result
of
that
meeting,
the
meeting
seemed
to
be
a
little
biased
towards
closing
the
the
course
I'm,
not
sure
why
the
use
analysis
time
frame
was
changed
from
I
thought.
It
went
from
10
years
to
25
years.
They
didn't
say
why
they
did
that
the
they
used
pre-covered
rounds
played
to
calculate
the
revenue
as
opposed
to
the
the
current
round
splade,
which
is
the
higher,
so
it
would
have
the
revenue
numbers
would
have
been
higher
and
the
survey
results
that
they
presented
only
gave
us
numbers.
P
In
some
of
the
comments
that
I
know
that
people
made
in
that
meeting,
that
is
that
they
they
said
it
was
the
best
place
to
teach
a
child
to
golf.
That
Golf
Course
is
the
perfect
place
to
teach
somebody
to
golf,
but
it
also
teaches
lots
of
other
things,
honesty.
You
know
people
and
I've
heard
it
said
many
times.
Oh
well,
I,
don't
golf
because
it
takes
five
hours
to
golf
around
and
you're
away
from
the
family
for
five
hours.
P
Well,
if
you
take
a
child
to
golf,
you
now
have
them
for
two
hours
with
undivided
attention
and
you
can
teach
them
anything.
You
can
teach
them
honesty,
you
can
teach
them
social
skills.
It's
before
I
moved
to
Cupertino
I
went
to
a
YMCA
meeting
in
Chicago
and
they
asked
the
question.
Do
you
know
what
the
average
time
a
father
spends
with
his
daughter
one
on
one
per
week?
The
answer
was
15
seconds.
They
had
a
program.
P
C
Q
Thank
you
very
much
Madam
City,
Clerk
and
good
evening
mayor
way.
Vice
mayor,
Mohan
and
the
rest
of
the
city
council,
I
am
Kathy
stakey
I
am
a
40-year
resident
of
Cupertino,
I,
say
proudly
and
I'd
like
to
call
your
attention
to
our
golf
course,
which
seems
to
be
getting
a
lot
of
attention
this
evening.
Blackberry
Farm,
Golf,
Course
I,
have
enjoyed
golfing
at
this
golf
course
for
all
of
the
40
years
that
I
have
been
lived
in
Cupertino.
Q
The
setting
is
fantastic
to
observe
our
local
bird
population.
As
one
golf
now
I'm
going
to
report
on
my
bird
watching
while
I'm
golfing
years
ago,
the
ottoman
Society
placed
Western
bluebird
boxes
throughout
the
golf
course.
After
several
years.
We
now
see
the
bluebirds
flying
about
the
golf
course
and
when
I
enter
the
First
Tee
I,
look
overhead
and
there's
a
red
tail
hawk
that
I
observe
the
red
tail
hawks
are
very
territorial
and
it
seems
that
this
one
has
claimed
Blackberry
Farm
as
its
territory.
Q
You
can
also
see
him
soaring
throughout
the
golf
course,
as
you
continue
your
game,
but
my
favorite
bird
out
there
is
the
blue
heron.
His
post
is
at
the
creek
along
the
ninth
Fairway
I.
Don't
really
know
that
it's
a
he
or
a
she,
but
he's
a
Brave
Bird.
So
take
a
look
for
him
when
you're
out
there.
He
has
a
sunbathing
Rock,
which
is
situated
in
the
creek
and
as
I
walk
up
to
the
ninth
Fairway
I,
always
walk
over
to
the
Heron
Rock
to
see
if
he
is
sunbathing
out
there.
Q
Q
Q
C
R
S
R
These
have
been
points
raised
to
the
city
council
and
perhaps
not
to
the
new
members,
but
this
is
to
give
you
a
little
education.
There
are
many
ways
to
do
this.
More
recently,
I'm
prior
speaker
talked
about
the
wildlife
that
you
can
see
at
Blackberry,
Farm
golf
course.
No
renovation
needed
for
that.
R
R
Fine
I
get
it,
and
if
we
take
a
walk
well,
if
we
look
a
little
further
at
that,
the
the
NIH
report,
which
was
pushing
for
the
natural
habitat,
showed
the
nice
Wildflower
member
Meadow
there
and
then
another
area
of
natural
habitat,
but
you
can
take
a
little
walk
and
kind
of
see
an
actual
habitat
restoration
right
in
progress
right
along
the
side
of
the
street.
There.
R
Okay,
going
one
further,
you
can
walk
around
in
that
natural
habitat
Restoration
in
progress
right
now,
which
I
did
and
I
took
some
photos
and
what
I
saw
some
things
that
are
a
little
disappointing.
Here's
a
bit
of
tarpaulin,
that's
degrading
it's
under
some
dirt
and
then
here's
a
little.
You
know
cylindrical
cage
with
some
planting
in
there,
but
there's
nothing
there.
There's
it's
dead,
there's
not
even
one
finger
sticking
up
of
of
any
kind
of
planting.
There's
a
bush!
That's
dead!
Here's
another
one!
That's
nothing!
In
there!
It's
like
moonscape,
here's,
nothing
this!
R
This
is
so
bad.
It's
like
Charlie,
Brown's,
Christmas
tree,
so
to
the
point
that
it
is
imperative
that
we
preserve
existing
wild
natural
spaces.
When
we
start
with
fixing
up
the
Restorations,
we
already
have
and
making
them
a
shining
success
and-
and
let's
leave
the
golf
course
alone-
the
other
part
of
the
commons
I
want
to
address
is
we
need
to
go
one
step
further
and
go
for
the
natural
spaces
and
for
that
you've
got
a
ranch
house
here
and
then
here
it's
the
stockelmeyer
farm
and
that's
not
really
what
I'd
call
a
natural
space.
R
T
Good
evening
my
name
is
Helen
Wyant
and
I've
been
a
resident
of
Cupertino
since
1977.
I'm
here
this
evening,
to
thank
you
for
considering
the
conversion
of
blackberry,
golf
course
to
a
natural
habitat
and
to
express
my
strong
support
and
enthusiasm
for
this
excellent
option.
Why
is
this
project
so
important
to
Cupertino?
T
Well,
I
think
that
the
following
quote
from
an
entomologist
Douglas
talamy
applies
to
us
very
well
and
answers
the
question
perfectly
quote.
We
now
live
in
a
world
in
which
plant
and
animal
habitat
is
so
fragmented
and
those
fragments
are
so
isolated
from
one
another
that
they
are
hemorrhaging
species
at
an
alarming
rate.
We
need
to
restore
nature
to
our
home
Landscapes,
to
our
corporate
Landscapes,
to
our
Municipal
parks
and
to
as
much
of
our
infrastructure
as
we
can,
because
our
parks
and
preserves
are
just
not
large
enough
to
do
the
job
alone.
T
A
natural
landscape
habitat
would
also
be
a
wonderful
resource
for
educating
students.
I
know
this
because
I
volunteer
with
a
non-profit
environmental
volunteers,
teaching
children
to
understand
nature
and
to
become
good
stewards
of
their
environment
may
be
the
best
investment
that
we
can
make
in
the
future
of
our
planet.
When
more
people
have
meaningful
experiences
with
nature,
their
quality
of
life
improves
and
their
communities
become
stronger
and
more
sustainable.
By
educating
students
about
the
importance
of
restoring
habitats,
we
will
create
ambassadors
who
can
pass
on
this
knowledge,
Way
Beyond
their
own
community.
T
U
Hello
and
thank
you
thank
you
mayor
way
and
city
council
members
for
this
opportunity.
My
name
is
John
Kehoe
and,
with
this
brief
address,
I
hope
to
inform
the
city
regarding
your
decision
on
the
future
of
the
Blackberry
Farm
Golf
Course,
please
choose
option
b.
Conversion
to
natural
habitat,
enhancing
our
natural
areas
is
essential
for
preserving
our
natural
wildlife
and
maintaining
biodiversity.
The
basic
recipe
of
planting
locally
native
plants,
according
to
best
practices,
gives
our
critters
the
best
chance
of
long-term
success.
U
Proper
landscaping
and
protection
are
the
keys
without
essential
plants.
We
lose
our
wildlife,
but
with
an
expanded,
Natural
Area
adjacent
to
the
Stevens
Creek,
we
could
increase
the
habitat
to
support
and
even
boost
the
population
of
our
threatened
monarch,
butterflies
and
bumblebees.
To
name
just
a
few
research
shows.
The
time
is
running
out:
let's
proceed
as
soon
as
possible.
U
Further,
a
recent
survey
of
all
bumblebees
in
the
state
have
shown
that
overall
population
abundance
is
in
Decline
by
converting
the
golf
course
to
a
natural
area.
This
council
could
put
Cupertino
on
the
map
of
local
biodiversity
hot
spots.
We
have
the
local
talent
and
resources
to
expand
the
habitat
for
pollinators,
including
bees
and
butterflies.
We
can
propagate
and
plant
native
plants,
including
the
necessary
monarch,
butterfly
host
plants
milkweeds.
U
V
Evening
again,
Rhoda
Frye,
40-year
resident.
Imagine
if
we
were
under
the
new
rules
tonight.
So
many
of
these
wonderful
speakers,
who've
engaged
in
Civic
discourse,
would
not
be
able
to
be
talking
with
you.
So
please
consider
that
just
got
a
comment
on
golf.
We
can
have
our
cake
and
eat
it
too.
Lots
of
people
go
out
there.
Golfing,
even
in
the
rain,
got
a
new
golf
store
coming
up
Cupertino.
There
is
already
a
lot
of
restoration
in
the
area.
V
V
The
air
District
permitted
it
under
questionable
circumstances
that
I've
emailed
Council
about
prior
and
the
U.S
Department
of
Labor
has
reported
excessive
noise
and
dust.
The
county
has
remained
mum
on
this
topic.
The
second
business
is
to
continue
cement
distribution,
which
was
supposed
to
be
temporary
in
2020..
The
third
business
manufacturers
cement
without
the
use
of
the
Kiln
that
would
imply
potentially
more
rail
and
truck
traffic
for
use
of
imported
materials.
Now
remember,
remember:
the
cement
plant
was
built
because
of
the
local
Limestone,
which
has
been
exhausted.
V
In
fact,
it
was
built
to
build
the
Dam
up
at
Mount
Shasta.
You
know
400
plus
miles
away
anyway.
The
fourth
business
which
you've
heard
about
already
but
I'm,
going
to
repeat
it,
so
you
remember
it
is
to
convert
the
Quarry
into
a
for-profit
landfill
for
25
or
more
years
when,
in
fact,
the
Reclamation
would
happen
to
fill
that
quarry
in
only
five
years.
We're
talking
about
unnecessary
delay
of
reclamation,
we're
also
talking
about
a
rate
of
660
trucks,
66
trucks
per
day
for
three
or
so
years.
V
Look
Corey
needs
to
be
filled
to
protect
water
quality
and
to
support
the
overmined
crumbling
Ridge
line
between
the
Quarry
and
Rancho
San
Antonio,
so
Reclamation
is
grossly
overdue.
As
Richard
and
Wallace
had
mentioned
earlier
this
evening
we
do
have
an
approved
Reclamation
plan
in
place
established
in
2012,
which
has
allowed
Lehigh
to
operate
to
the
present
day.
That's
the
promise.
V
A
You
city
clerk
for
managing
the
horror
Communications
again.
The
council
really
appreciate
all
the
passion,
time
and
communication
and
your
knowledge
that
you
are
speak
at
oral
communication.
Thank
you
very
much
now
we're
moving
to
public
hearing,
which
is
number
27
abatement
of
public
nuisance
from
Wheats
or
other
fire
hazards
pursuant
to
provisions
of
Cupertino
Municipal
chapter
9.08
and
resolution
number
22-138
hearing
for
impacted,
Property
Owners
to
contest
the
matter
of
proposed
abayment
I'd
like
to
open
the
public
hearing
and
for
thank.
C
W
Y
Y
X
Z
B
Z
Me
interject
a
little
bit
not
trying
to
be
the
City
attorney
or
the
lawyer,
so
council,
member
Chow,
your
property,
is
listed
on
the
wheat
abatement
program.
The
item
before
council
is
to
adopt
a
resolution,
including
your
property,
so
I
think
Chris's
recommendation
is
for
you
to
recuse
from
making
a
decision
on
the
item.
I
believe
council,
member
Chao
can
particip
can
still
attend
the
meeting
in
the
audience
listening
in,
but
you
cannot
deliberate
what
the
rest
of
the
council
and
make
a
decision.
That's.
S
X
X
C
C
C
Sorry
I'm
having
something
okay.
So
each
year
the
county
prepares
a
report
to
the
city
of
all
properties
that
are
listed
in
the
program.
All
impacted
Parcels
will
remain
on
the
list
for
three
years
of
uninterrupted
compliance,
Parcels
that
are
found
to
be
Hazard
free
for
those
three
consecutive
years.
C
According
to
the
minimum
fire
safety
standards
will
be
removed
from
the
program
on
November
15th
Council
adopted
a
resolution
accepting
the
county
report
and
setting
tonight's
hearing
so
that
the
county
could
notify
the
property
owners
that
were
on
the
report
so
owner
responsibility,
responsibilities
as
according
to
the
minimum
fire
safety
standards.
Minimum
safety
standards
are.
This
is
a
brief
summary
they're
they're,
all
they're
mailed
out
to
all
homeowners
vegetation
height
must
not
exceed
six
inches.
This
includes
around
roadways
and
driveways.
C
They
should
clear
vegetation,
30
feet
from
any
structures,
also
combustible
debris
and
around
under
Eaves
of
houses
and
trim
tree
branches
10
feet
from
the
chimney,
as
well
as
clear
debris
from
roofs
and
gutters.
Here
is
a
before
and
after
photo
of
a
non-compliant
parcel
and
afterwards
it
is
a
compliant
parcel.
C
Here
is
a
vacant
lot
same.
It's
been
cleared
after
and
is
in
compliance,
so
the
homeowners
have
two
options:
to
complete
the
required
work
to
Abate.
First
is
the
homeowner:
can
complete
the
work
themselves
or
the
county?
Is
science
and
authorized
contractor
to
complete
the
work
with
the
charges
appearing
on
the
next
property
tax
bill
inspections
they
every
April
30th
the
county
begins
conducting
property
inspections.
There
is
an
annual
inspection
fee
that
is
waived
for
Parcels
that
pass
their
initial
inspection.
C
The
annual
inspection
fee
is
charged
for
Parcels
that
fail
inspection.
They
are
responsible
for
paying
their
own
initial
inspection.
The
waived
fees
for
the
past
inspection
Parcels
are
billed
to
the
city
to
cover
the
county
costs,
and
this
is
because
this
program
is
100
cost
recovery,
so
the
county
must
recoup
their
costs
for
servicing
the
properties
on
December
13th,
the
county
sent
a
notice
of
public
hearing
and
a
notice
to
abate
on
December
13th.
The
city
sent
a
reminder
letter
to
Abate
by
April
30th
and
to
maintain
their
properties.
Year-Round.
C
C
This
did
require
a
budget
appropriation,
a
budget
modification
which
Council
approved
and
then
in
2023.
We
won't
know
how
many
properties
will
pass.
We
assume
of
the
158
properties
in
the
program
that
about
78
70
percent
will
pass
their
inspection,
so
it's
about
amounting
to
about
ten
thousand
two
hundred
dollars
for
111
properties.
C
A
C

AA
Okay,
good
evening
Council
and
staff
and
Mr
Coomer
I
want
to
thank
the
council
for
setting
up
the
procedure
where,
if
a
resident
is
found
to
be
non-compliant
with
the
weeds,
they
can
fix
the
problem,
pay
the
fine
the
first
year
and
then
so
long
as
they
keep
it
up.
The
city
will
help
them
subsidize
the
the
remaining
two
years.
AA
There's
so
many
people
who
are
not
aware
of
this
Rule
and
I
know
it's
a
fire
prevention
and
I
appreciate
that,
but
I
also
know
that
there
are
a
lot
of
people
who
just
are
not
aware
of
the
rules,
and
so
I
really
want
to
appreciate
this
topic
just
drives
me
crazy
and
I'm
glad
you
came
up
with
a
solution
that
helps
both
the
city
as
a
whole
and
the
individual
homeowners
that
just
didn't
know
the
rules.
Thank
you.
C
AB
AB
AB
Perfect
yeah
after
Central
Community
of
the
leaves
you
can
see
that
I
thought
some
picture
looks
like
this
way,
even
without
cutting
them
and
you
take
a
closer
look,
you
can
see.
There
are
a
lot
of
black
areas
here.
There
are
all
soils
because
I
didn't
water
them.
This
grass
field
is
quite
bold
actually
and
there
are
a
lot
of
bear
soil
exposing
to
the
air,
and
even
after
that,
I
make
a
cut
with
my.
AB
AB
AB
You
know,
so
that's
why
I
would
like
to
make
a
computer
and
the
request
for
Recon
reconsideration
of
putting
my
home
18850
Taco
Avenue
on
the
list.
I
understand
the
importance
of
the
weed
evasion
and
I
tried
my
best
to
obey
the
rules.
Thank
you
very
much
for
your
time
and
reconsideration.
Thank
you.
S
Hi
good
evening,
city
council
and
my
house
has
been
listed
in
this
a
big
program
for
more
than
three
years
and
this
year
it
showed
up
the
modern
sports
time,
I
believe
so.
I
called
them
because
over
the
past
three
years,
I've
been
cleaning
up
with
all
the
time
to
make
sure
my
property
is
following
the
rules
and
this
year
it
show
up
in
the
list
again
so
I
thought
that
actually
I
called
the
Santa
Clara
Division,
and
then
he
told
me
that
they
say
my
probably
should
have
been
removed.

Good
evening,
mayor
way,
city,
council
membership
now
for
our
director
of
administrative
Services
before
you
this
evening.
With
a
brief
oral
report
on
the
agenda
item
number
28,
City
staff
is
bringing
an
update
to
the
elected
officials,
Compensation
Program,
to
revise
two
areas
of
the
program,
one
to
change
the
city
council
technology
policy
from
a
stipend
program
to
a
city
provided
equipment.
Secondly,
that
we
are
removing
the
health
and
leave
provision
to
bring
the
program
in
line
with
state
law
and
I'm
available.
Should
there
be
any
questions.
AD
Yes,
thank
you
mayor
way.
I
was
wondering
if,
if
perhaps
this
could
be
done
offline
and
that
we
could
have
a
memo
to
the
council
members,
which
would
let
us
know
what
the
total
amounts
of
of
that
compensation
with
regards
to
the
health
care
reimbursement.
If
you
had
health
care
from
another
source,
I
believe
it
was
375
dollars
per
month
that
would
be
provided.
AD
I
would
like
to
know
which,
which
council
members
you
don't
have
to
put
their
names
but
which
council
members
the
years
did
they
receive
those
payments
and
where
is
there
a
record
that
they
I
believe
they
needed
to
reimburse
the
city
for
those
amounts
I'd
like
to
know
about
that?
I'm
I
had
heard
that
there
was
a
council
member
who
requested
this
and,
and
it
was
denied
so
I
like
to
ensure
that
all
of
the
money
was
reimbursed
to
the
city.
Thank
you.
A
L
A
AE
Z
A
A
A
Okay,
thank
you.
Everyone
and
let's
go
to
coming
back
to
the
regular
meeting
where
we
left
off
is
reports
by
Council
and
staff.
Number
7.2
number,
seven
number
two!
Actually
so!
Council
members,
please
make
a
brief
report
of
your
activities
since
last
meeting.
This
doesn't
include
your
committee
assignment
and
just
a
brief
report
on
your
activities.
Do
we
have
council
members
want
to
volunteer
first.
E
AF
Right
I
attended
the
same
events
that
the
vice
mayor
did.
I
will
thank
both
the
chamber
and
West
Valley
for
scheduling
these
events,
both
at
Quinlan,
so
that
it
was
possible
for
everybody
to
shuffle
back
and
forth
and
attend
both
of
them
since
they
were
scheduled
at
the
exact
same
time
and
in
addition
on
January
the
3rd.
Alongside
the
the
mayor,
I
attended,
the
council,
reorganization
and
swearing-in
of
the
new
Sunnyvale
city
council,
one
of
their
members
was
sworn
in
pursuant
to
a
tie
that
was
broken
by
drawing
a
name
out
of
a
hat.
A
AD
Okay,
so
I
also
attended
the
Chamber
of
Commerce
board
installation
last
week
and
just
sort
well
and
I
went
up
to
Palo
Alto
and
attended
their
reorganization,
and
they
now
have
mayor
Lydia
coo
there
and
kind
of
a
different
report.
I
drove
back
from
Memphis
Tennessee
a
little
over
a
week
ago,
having
gotten
to
visit
the
national
Civil
Rights
Museum
at
the
Lorraine
Motel,
which
walks
visitors,
From
Slavery
through
the
Civil
Rights
Movement,
including,
and
it
was
it,
was
a
really
kind
of
an
emotionally
tough
experience.
AD
You
go
through
the
assassination
of
Martin
Luther
King
Jr,
because
that
occurred
at
the
motel
and
they
preserved
the
motel
rooms
there.
And
then
you
walk
across
the
street
where
the
Assassin
was
and
they
have
of
the
archives
are
held
there,
so
they
have
actual
material
from
from
that
event.
At
this
Museum
it's
it's
really
I
encourage
everyone
to
go
there.
It
was
really
moving
and
I
attended,
oh
and
wanted
to
also
add
that
I'm
continuing
my
Environmental
Studies
and
I'm
studying
California
climate
change
right
now
and
I'm
just
started.
AD
A
Thank
you,
councilman
Moore
and
so
council
member
ciao,
so
I
like
to
make
a
brief
report.
I've,
attended
and
I
think
a
couple
council
members
too,
a
couple:
a
few
sorting
ceremonies
in
our
neighboring
cities,
Sunnyvale
Saratoga
and
also
public
Union,
School
Districts,
worrying
I,
believe
it's
important
to
make
connections
with
our
neighboring
facility
government
and
so
that
we
can
support
each
other
and
move
forward
together
and
also
I.
A
Think
a
couple
council
members
also
went
to
the
wreath
Across
America
at
at
Gate
of
Heaven
in
in
pain
memory
and
respect
to
our
veterans
who
passed
and
in
protecting
our
country
and
our
freedom.
So
that
was
always
a
very
moving
event.
Every
year
and
a
few
of
us
also
went
to
the
PGA
TOUR
Superstore
ribbon
cutting.
We
will
come
that
store
to
bring
really
another
retail
store
for
us,
and
it
was
very,
very,
very
well
attended
that
day.
A
A
lot
of
people
out
there
shopping
and
I
like
to
make
a
brief
announcement.
I
am
hosting
a
morning
coffee
with
mayor
every
first
Tuesday
morning
at
7,
30
to
8
30
in
our
very
new
hodus
Country
Inn,
who
burned
down
in
San
Jose.
Now
they
moved
to
Cupertino
is
one
of
my
favorite
place
so
now
I
can
eat
there
and
pay
tax
to
Cupertino.
So
do
come
to
mayor's
coffee,
7
30
to
8
30,
the
first
Tuesday
of
the
morning,
coffee
and
tea
on
the
mayor.
A
E
I
attended
last
week,
the
Silicon
Valley
clean
energy
board
of
directors
meeting
the
good
news
for
all
for
all
of
us
residents
of
Cupertino
is
that
the
average
residential
Clean
Energy
customer
will
see
a
three
dollar
decline
on
their
electricity
bills
relative
to
PG
and
e-rates.
So
we
rarely
see
anything
going
down
in
cost.
This
is
one
of
those
rare
ex
exceptions.
A
Anyone
else
so
I
want
to
add
to
that
I
being
an
alternate
for
Silicon,
Valley,
Community
energy
and
listening
to
every
meeting
so
I.
Listening
to
that
meeting
too
and
I
think
silicon
Silicon,
Valley,
Green
energy
is
doing
a
great
job
for
our
aging.
So
thank
you
for
vice
mayor
Mohan
to
serve
on
that
very
important
region
agency.
A
Z
Thank
you
mayor
way,
really
quickly,
wishing
everyone
a
happy,
New
Year.
This
is
our
first
meeting
in
the
year
as
a
new
Council
I.
Don't
have
a
whole
lot
of
update.
I
just
want
to
give
it
the
Public
Works
staff
a
shout
out
for
the
city
to
stay
safe,
to
stay
out
of
trouble
and
really
the
Public
Works
staff
has
work
above
and
beyond,
to
keep
our
streets
on
a
storm
out
of
trouble.
So
if
you
look
around
most
of
the
cities
have
declared
emergencies,
we're
lucky
enough,
we're
not
lucky
enough.
Z
We
really
have
dedicated
diligent
staff
who
is
staying
on
top
of
their
work
to
make
sure
that
our
residents
are
enjoying
and
benefiting
from
this
I
heard
from
the
News
9
Pineapple
Express
atmosphere,
River
since
beginning
of
December,
so
other
than
that
I
just
want
to
make
sure
Public,
Works,
director
and
also
assistant
city
manager,
the
prior
public
work
staff
deliver
my
sincere
most
sincere
gratitude
towards
our
staff.
Thank
you.
A
Thank
you,
city
manager,
Wu.
That
was
really
good
news,
because
I
do
appreciate
our
city
being
safe.
Our
staff
really
work
diligently.
They
did
prevention,
work
and
also
24
7
on
call.
So,
yes,
thank
you
for
the
staff.
Now
we're
moving
to
consent
agenda
agenda.
We
have
items
6
to
26,
I'm,
asking
council
members
or
public
who
like
to
pull
consent
agenda
before
we
approve
the
rest
of
it.
Do
we
have
council
members
who
like
to
pull
counseling
agenda.
X
AB
C
AF
AD
C
A
Z
Z
AA
Yes,
I
pulled
this
item
because
the
council
had
finally
gotten
to
a
point
where
accounts
payable
was
being
presented
on
a
regular
basis
every
month
and
now
we're
back
at
a
point
where
the
accounts
payable
for
October
2022
is
two
and
a
half
months.
Late
and
I
want
to
know
why,
and
also
will
you
is
the
plan
to
regularly
get
to
get
back
to
presenting
the
accounts
payable
regularly
once
a
month?
Thank
you.
AG
So
we
did
miss
the
reporting
to
City
Council
in
the
December,
the
second
December
meeting
to
meet
our
reporting
guidelines
to
get
items
on
the
agenda,
and
so
that's
why
that
one
is
late.
You
will
note
that
this
evening
we
actually
have
put
the
December
AP
on
this
evening
as
well
as
November
is
be
enough
to
help
us
get
back
on
track,
because
we
will
be
meeting
with
audit
next
Monday,
but
they
have
yet
to
see.
AG
A
AD
Thank
you
mayor
way,
I
had
a
couple
of
questions
which
I
can
take
offline,
trying
to
get
some
information
about
these
items.
So
one
was
and
I
give
the
PDF
numbers
and
I'll
just
go
this
through
this
quickly
and
I'll
provide
an
email
offline
and
to
get
that
information
to
the
rest
of
council.
If
that
will
work
pdf131,
what
is
the
retreat
center
mentioned?
AD
It's
a
janitorial
service
contract
I
wanted
to
know
that
shows
up
on
PDF
153
I
wanted
to
know
when
that
last
came
to
council
via
shuttle,
I
would
like
to
know
the
ridership
numbers
we
paid
about
sixty
nine
thousand
dollars
for
the
month
and
that'll.
Do
it
so
I
would
like
to
if,
if
it's,
if
it's
all
right
with
the
the
the
city
manager,
I'd
like
to
just
compile
this
provided
for
staff,
and
do
it
that
way,.
A
M
A
A
A
AA
C
AA
AA
AA
Up
until
now,
the
city
council
and
the
audit
committee
had
gotten
so
that
there
was
kind
of
a
rhythm
going
and
the
accounts
payable
and
treasures
port
and
the
investment
report
for
being
presented
to
the
city
council
on
a
regular
basis
and
now
there's
this
mixture,
and
it
doesn't
look
like
it's
going
to
happen
and
so
in
the
treasures
report.
Right
now,
the
very
first
part
under
government
code
41004,
it
says
the
city
treasurer
shall
file
a
copy
with
the
legislative
body.
AA
AA
Okay,
so
Kirsten,
could
you
scroll
down
a
little
bit?
Please,
okay,
the
second
question:
it
says
it:
it
says
that
the
staff
have
previously
included
accounts
payable
with
the
treasurer's
reports
following
recommendation
by
the
subcommittee
and
approval
by
Council,
but
all
of
a
sudden
it
changed
I
want
to
know
the
previous
Council
approved
this
procedure
and
all
of
a
sudden,
it's
changing.
When
did
the
council
change
this
decision
to
stop
doing
this?
AA
That's
my
second
question
and
my
third
question
is:
if
you
go
down
to
the
bottom
of
the
report,
it
says
audit
committee
will
review
the
accounts
payable
reports
for
November
and
December
at
their
January
meeting.
When
will
they
review
the
treasurer's
report
or
will
they?
Those
are
my
three
questions
and
they're
on
this
one
page.
Thank
you.
A
AG
Not
a
problem,
thank
you.
You
know
Fargo
and
director
of
administrative
Services
mayor
way,
council
members
I'm
more
than
happy
to
answer
these
questions.
The
first
is
a
similar
answer
to
the
account
payables
reports.
We
got
a
little
backed
up
there
having
that
audit
committee
late
in
November
and
just
having
really
about
the
one
opportunity
or
so
to
present
for
December
and
then
having
the
January
meeting
canceled
and
so
we're
bringing
everything
as
soon
as
possible
here
going
forward.
We
will
be
caught
up
in
terms
of
the
second
question.
AG
The
intent
is
not
to
stop
taking
these
reports
to
audit
committee.
This
is
simply
a
timing
issue.
We
did
email
to
audit
committee
and
the
council
members
on
December
21st,
the
October
and
November
Treasurer
support
to
stay
compliant
with
government
code,
section
41004
and
at
the
January
23rd
this
coming
Monday's
meeting
for
audit
committee.
They
will
be
reviewing
the
November
and
December
Treasures
reports.
Both
investment
non-investment,
along
with
the
the
non-investment
treasurer's
reports,
will
also
include
the
accounts
payable
for
November
and
December
and
I
think
I'm.
Sorry.
AG
B

And
that
was
a
long
road
to
get
there
and
holidays
and
a
switch
of
people
and
whatever
may
be
a
good
reason.
But
I
just
want
that
commitment
to
be
very
serious
and
to
also
be
made
serious
to
anyone
and
everyone
who
was
on
that
audit
committee,
especially
since
we've
changed
people
who
are
very
familiar
with
what
how
we
got
where
we
are
now.
So
that's
just
hopefully
not
an
inappropriate
request.
Thank.
A
AD
AD
That
meeting
could
have
gone
over
those
those
those
reports
now
I'm,
looking
at
the
the
email
that
we
we
got
on
December
21st
and
it
does
have
the
monthly
treasurer's
reports,
but
those
are
supposed
to
include
the
receipts
and
disbursements
and
the
fund
balances.
So
one
of
the
things
that
we
had
previously
discussed
was
about
having
the
accounts
payable
statements,
and
there
was.
AD
There
was
a
request
from
staff
that
they'd
not
be
within
the
report,
but
they
because
we
need
to
report
on
the
have
the
receipts,
disbursements
and
fund
balances
brought
to
the
legislative
body
that
you,
the
accounts
payable.
Would
our
request
was
that
they
would
go
at
least
travel
along
with
these
reports
and
our
original
subcommittee,
which
was
myself
and
mayor
Paul,
former
mayor
Paul,
that
we
had?
We
had
a
subcommittee.
AD
We
had
some
discussions
about
these
reports
and
wanted
to
have
the
accounts
payable
within
the
within
that
treasurer's
report
that
it
made
more
sense
and
it
also
for
an
agenda
item.
It
makes
it
more
concise
in
your
in
your
packet
and
then
to
have
all
that
information
within
it.
Now
there
was
an
earlier
comment
about
you
know
where:
where
can
we
find
these
reports?
AD
Well,
other
cities
put
them
on
their
website
and
you
can
see
a
monthly
report
link
for
for
each
month,
and
that
was
something
that
we
thought
would
be
a
good
idea
for
for
our
city.
To
do
so,
we
were
trying
to
make
it
make
it
more
concise
so
that
we
wouldn't
have
these
long
accounts
payable
statements
in
in
our
agenda
shorten
up
the
agenda
pay
pages,
so
we're
gonna,
you
know,
save
save
on
the
length
of
the
document
and
so
I'm
hoping
that
it
goes.
A
A
AD
So
I
pulled
this
item
and
I'm
thinking
that
I
might
want
to
withdraw
my
name
since
we
already
have
a
city
council,
member,
on
the
board
of
the
historical
society
and
I,
perhaps
I
believe
it's
council,
member,
fruen
and
I'm
thinking.
It
might
make
more
sense
and
be
more
streamlined
since
he's
already
on
the
board
if
he
would
be
serving
on
the
advisory
Council.
That
makes
more
sense
to
me.
AD
I
also
am
concerned
about
the
kind
of
the
redundancy
of
the
council
members
and,
if
perhaps
we
are
I,
don't
know
if
there's
a
brown
act,
violation
potentially,
but
we
would
have
three
council
members
now
involved
with
the
Historical
Society.
What
was
interesting
about
this
particular
item
is
that
I
believe
originally
a
council
member,
a
child
was
asking
to
see
if
we
could
have
a
board
member
on
the
historical
society
and
to
my
vague
recollection,
we
were
saying
no.
AD
We
can't
require
the
Historical
Society
to
have
a
board
member
there,
so
that
was
to
my
recollection
that
was
the
original
ask,
and
now
we've
got
this
separate
committee
and
we
have
what
we
wanted
for
in
to
begin
with,
which
was
a
member
on
the
board.
So
I
respectfully
request
that
I
am
removed
from
this
assignment.
A
A
Are
you
willing
to
maybe
resign
from
your
official
board
position
and
take
the
Advisory
Board
representing
the
city
council,
because
we
agreement
between
the
city,
council
and
Historic
Society
is
to
have
one
council
member
on
The
Advisory
Board?
Who
is
not
a
voting
member?
Would
you
be
willing
to
make
that
switch?
Yes,
okay?
So
so?
Well,
since
that's
a
quick
yes,
so
I
will
make
every
no
do.
We
have
a
staff
report
on
it.
Oh,
let's
have
a
staff
report
and
then
open
public
comment.
Please,
oh.
C
You
mayor
on
December,
20
2022
Council
approved
the
appointments
of
the
2023
council
member
committee
assignments
and
the
amendment
is
necessary
to
designate
count
accounts
Council
representatives
to
the
Historical
Society
advisory
Council,
the
amended
2023
Council
committee
assignments
under
attachment,
a
designates
council
member
Moore
as
the
primary
and
council
member
Chao
as
the
alternate
to
The
Advisory
Council
staff.
The
staff
recommendation
would
be
to
approve
the
amendment
to
the
2023
Council
committee
assignments.
A
C
X
Y
X
C
O
Thank
you
yeah.
This
is
very
important.
I
am
firmly
committed
to
having
the
stockelmeyer
house
be
restored.
I
think
it's
absolutely
adamant.
I
just
found
out
that
the
Scott
house
in
Scotts
Valley,
is
actually
from
1855..
I,
had
no
idea
we're
right
now,
working
on
trying
to
get
the
graves
house
restored
and
moved
to
Kelly
Park
in
San
Jose,
because
I'm,
a
member
of
San
Jose
pack,
which
is
the
historical
society
for
San,
Jose,
I,
and
very,
very
concerned
that
the
farming
history
of
Cupertino
is
being
lost.
O
O
Cupertino
came
from
rural
roots
and
it
yes,
it's
now
high
tech,
but
we
need
to
teach
the
children
the
history
of
this
area.
When
you
have
history,
you
learn
what
people
were
going
through
at
that
time.
No
one
understands
that
there
were
Farms
here
and
I.
Think
I
am
committed
to
having
stockelmeyer
house
be
moved
on.
This
is
probably
the
ninth
year
that
that
the
city
count
that
nothing
has
happened
with
it.
O
I
understand
that
Palo
Alto
has
a
new
History,
Museum
I
was
reading
about
it.
Today
they
got
grants
federal
grants
and
they
got
County
grants
to
have
a
Palo,
Alto
Museum
and
it
is
going
to
have
I
think
different
exhibits
on
different
types
of
history
in
in
Palo
Alto
I
want
that
for
Cupertino
I
want
there
to
be
something
similar
to
Los
Altos
like
the
history
house
and
the
Doctor's
house.
Why
can't
we
have
that?
We
have
a
lot
of
a
lot
of
many
rolling
around
in
these
high-tech
companies.
O
Why
can't
someone
step
up
and
donate
money?
Other
cities,
Hewlett
and
Packard
did
that
we
have
not
had
anyone
do
that
from
these
tech
companies
in
Cupertino,
nothing
I
am
challenging
Apple
to
do
that.
Apple
has
saved
the
glendenning
barn,
which
is
on
their
property
and
I
I'm
challenging
some
of
our
talk.
The
talk
walk
the
walk.
If
you
have
the
money,
put
it
into
something
important
like
preservation
of
our
history,
San
Jose
is
doing
it
and
they
have
taken
things
to
Kelly
Park
from
all
over
their
city,
that
represent
all
sorts
of
history.
O
But
why
can't
Cupertino?
We
are
notorious
for
tearing
down
every
old
house
in
this
city.
Look
at
the
Snyder
Hammond
house
sitting
out
there.
Nothing
has
happened
with
it.
I
think
it's
important
that
we
have
guidance
from
our
city
council,
helping
the
historical
society
and
whoever
else
to
try
to
get
these
precious
instructions.
Thank
you,
Jennifer
to
teach
history.
Thank.
Q
Thank
you,
mayor
way
are
Sheila,
Mohan
should
I
say
and
the
rest
of
City
Council
I'm
a
little
bit
perplexed
about.
What's
going
on
so
you'll
have
to
excuse.
My
ignorance.
I
did
not
know
that
our
city
council
actually
were
involved
in
joining
advisory
Boards
of
our
independent
groups
throughout
the
city.
Now
there
are
cities
who
support
historical
societies.
They
actually
fund
them
and
I
can
understand
that
involvement.
But
I'm
wondering
is
this
a
precedent
that
we're
setting?
Q
Will
you
be
going
into
all
of
the
non-profits
in
Cupertino
and
and
putting
an
advisory
person
from
the
city
council
into
that?
You
know,
I'm
I
personally,
don't
want
I
belong
to
the
Cupertino
Historical
Society
I.
Don't
want
any
of
my
business
or
comments
or
anything
that
I
say
to
the
Cupertino
Historical
Society
to
be
aired
by
the
city
council
as
such
I
don't
mind
if
they
attend
and
listen.
But
it
sounds
to
me
like
I,
don't
know,
I'm
I'm
concerned
and
I
would
like
to
know
what
the
protocol
is
on
this.
Q
Z
Q
A
So,
if
I,
if
I
understand
it
correctly
because
of
the
mou
between
the
city
and
the
Historical
Society
for
annual
budget
item
within
the
Park
and
Recreation
Department,
so
it's
not
a
community
Grant,
it's
an
annual
budget!
That's
why
the
mou
between
the
city
council
and
the
Historic
Society
is
to
have
one
city
council,
member
sitting
on
an
Advisory
board,
with
no
voting
right
to
sort
of
working
with
the
historic
sorted
with
the
funding
that
ongoing.
A
So
that's
what
my
understanding
is
so,
but
we'll
send
you
the
whole
information
so
that
it's
correctly
spelled
out,
but
that's
my
recollection
of
because
I
remember
vividly
the
the
meetings
and
how
we
discuss
it.
How
we're
gonna
continue
to
fund
Historic
Society
without
the
annual
public
Community
Grant
application?
It's
going
to
be
a
budget
item
in
the
city
and
councilman
from
you.
AF
Know
that
better,
if
I,
if
I
may
you
know
from
internally
having
reviewed
the
mou
on
behalf
of
the
Historical
Society
I,
think
that's
an
accurate
description
of
of
what
is
happening
there.
You
know
with
respect
to
whether
this
would
happen
with
other
organizations.
I
I,
don't
know
that
we've
expressed
anything
on
that
topic.
AD
I
have
a
comment
about
something
mentioned
with
regards
to
the
the
stocklemeyer
house.
So
it's
a
little
bit
off
topic
for
this
item.
It
is
coming
back.
It
is
on
our
work
plan,
so
we
are
going
to
see
it
with
regards
to
the
mou
being
reviewed
by
council
member
fruen
as
a
board
member
for
the
Historical
Society
I
would
assume
that
a
board
member
would.
AF
My
plan
had
always
been
to
step
down
to
the
internal
Advisory
Board
within
a
month
anyway.
So
I
don't
really
see
any
particular
problem
here.
As
far
as
this
item
is
concerned,
this
is
a
different
creature.
The
The
Advisory
council
is
not
an
internal
creature
to
the
the
Historical
Society.
It
is
a
creature
of
our
memorandum
of
understanding.
It
is
a
slightly
different
entity.
AD
AF
AD
Okay,
so
you
wanted
to
through
the
mayor
to
be
on
The
Advisory
Board.
While
there
was
an
advisory,
Council
I
think
we're
kind
of
getting
into
some
sort
of
an
unusual
standing
committee,
perhaps
because
this
would
be
a
long
term,
so
I'm
wondering
from
a
brown
act
standpoint
how
that
could
have
functioned.
Y
So
yes,
so
I,
don't
think,
there's
a
conflict
of
there's
there's
any
kind
of
conflict
of
interest
either
under
the
political
reform
act
or
section
1090,
given
the
fact
pattern
presented.
So
it
you
know.
So
it
is
just
a
a.
There
is
a
a
dual
role:
there:
I,
don't
see
it
as
being
a
conflict
of
interest
under
the
law.
AD
AD
X
So
I
think
it
was
originally
my
idea
to
include
this
requirement
of
a
board
member
I
mean
a
council
member
sitting
on
the
board
because
I
looked
at
Saratoga,
they
have
two
council
members
sitting
on
the
board
of
haikon
garden
and
in
Palo
Alto.
They
have
council
members
sitting
on
like
three
different
non-profit
boards
and
so
that
there
are
presidents
for
that
and
initially
it
was.
We
want
to
show
the
cities
committee
to
supporting
Historical
Society,
but
allocating
taxpayer
dollars
annually
a
fixed
amount.
We
need
some
oversight
for
this.
This
allocation.
X
Therefore,
we
want
to
have
some
visibility
for
the
public,
and
so
there
is
the
idea
of
having
a
council
member
sitting
on
the
board,
but
I
didn't
know.
There
are
two
different
board
advisory
council
is
not
a
board.
That
is
an
information.
I
didn't
know
before
I
understand
the
assignment
was
a
board
member,
that's
a
non-voting
member,
but
it's
a
board
member
but
turns
out.
This
is
advisory.
A
member
of
The
Advisory
Council,
but
not
a
board.
Then
I
am
curious.
X
How
much
this
transparency
and
accountability
we
would
be
able
to
get
from
this
role,
but
it's
the
first
mou
I
think
we
are
trying
this
out.
We
can
always
try
to
see
how
this
work
yeah
so
I'm
happy
to
see
this
going
forward
and
I
think
it's
I
think
it's
two
members,
but
not
a
city
committee.
So
it's
not
a
standing
Community
it's
of
an
outside
organization.
Y
AD
AD
We're
being
told
that
council
member
fruen
is
going
to
step
down
from
the
board,
but
you
know:
how
are
you
going
to
put
that
in
the
motion
now?
I?
Don't
I,
don't
quite
understand
how
we
have
the
authority
to
even
do
that,
because
we
we
don't
have
any
control
over.
Who
is
on
the
board
of
the
historical
society
and
I
guess
this
is
a
question
for
the
City
attorney
about
making
a
motion
that
would
include
someone
stepping
down
from
their
board
position
of
another
organization.
Y
A
A
A
AA
This
was
just
a
comment.
I
would
like
to
thank
both
council
member
Moore
and
the
previous
Council
for
insisting
that
the
city
come
into
compliance
with
this
law
requiring
a
monthly
treasurer's
report.
It
was
a
long
series
of
meetings
and
discussions
had
it
not
been
for
councilman
member
Moore's
due
diligence.
Cupertino
would
be
another
city
out
of
compliance.
AA
It
appears
to
me
that,
instead
of
including
these
reports
on
a
monthly
basis
and
and
I
have
to
I
have
to
qualify
this,
let
me
take
this
back.
I
want
to
thank
director
Alfaro
for
clarifying
that
these
reports
will
they
will
catch
up
and
they
will
produce
them
monthly,
so
that
the
public
and
the
council
will
have
access
to
them.
But
I
do
want
to
draw
the
attention
to
council
members
more
efforts
to
get
the
city
in
compliance.
Thank
you.
C
A
M
Quickly,
what
Peggy
just
said
about
appreciating
these
efforts
and
director
mcfaro's
efforts
as
well
to
to
make
that
happen
and
I
just
want
to
add
that
it's
really
disappointing
that
there
is
a
big
swath
of
our
community.
Who
knows
that
to
be
true
but
chooses
to
or
should
know
that
to
be
true,
if
they're
really
reading
things
and
following
things
but
insist
on
bashing,
council
member,
more
and
I
I
wouldn't
have
said
this
publicly.
But
this
opportunity
is
here
and
I'm
taking
it.
M
A
B
AD
Appreciate
that
the
letter
of
response
indicates
that
the
changes
the
city
made
were
in
response
to
input
from
the
audit
committee,
I
had
read
the
municipal
code
and
I
asked
that
we
have
the
monthly
reports
which
the
municipal
code
was
indicating
along.
The
state
law.
I
was
told
by
a
staff
member
that
the
neighboring
cities
do
not
do
this
to
provide
that
reporting.
K
AD
Else
someone's
unmuted,
okay,
okay
I,
was
later
told
that
it
was
a
new
requirement
from
2018
and
having
been
on
the
legislative,
Review,
Committee
I
could
look
up
the
legislative
history.
The
requirement
is
actually
from
1949
predating
the
incorporation
of
our
city,
I
researched,
the
Solano
grand
jury
report,
which
was
referenced
by
the
local
grand
jury
and
I
specifically
requested.
So
this
was
going
on
in
in
2021
I
specifically
requested
mayor
Paul
to
return
to
the
audit
committee
for
2022
in
order
to
assist
me,
which
is
why
the
compliance
began
early
2022..
AD
This
was
very
helpful.
Due
to
its
institutional
knowledge.
We
were
the
subcommittee
to
work
out
the
format
of
these
reports
to
council
and
it's
very
important
to
maintain
a
regular
schedule
with
regards
to
these
reports.
For
instance,
Council
would
previously
see
accounts
payable
statements
up
to
six
months
after
the
fact
and
Council
had
not
been
given
a
complete
listing
of
the
city's
accounts
even
at
that
time,
and
it
took
a
little
while,
but
we
we
finally
got
the
the
complete
listing.
AD
We
appear
to
have
already
fallen
a
bit
out
of
compliance
at
this
point,
but
I
am
glad
to
see
that
it
is
being
fixed
and
that
moving
ahead,
we
will
see
these
reports
and,
as
I
had
asked
mentioned
previously,
that
we
would
want
to
have
these
reports.
The
monthly
reports
show
up
on
the
website
so
that
people
can
see
them
which
other
cities
do
I
think
that
would
be
really
valuable.
Thank
you.
X
I'd
like
to
thank
council
member
more
for
her
insistence
on
pulling
some
of
these
consent
agenda
items
at
first
I
didn't
understand.
I,
don't
go
into
that
much
details,
but
I
thought
we
should
support
this
effort
and
then
we
went
along
but
turns
out
it's
worthwhile
because
a
lot
of
things
we
have
always
done
it.
This
way
doesn't
mean
it's.
The
right
way
doesn't
mean
it
complies
with
the
code
and
when
other
cities
have
done
it,
it
may
not
mean
they
are
complying
with
the
code.
A
Thank
you
of
councilmember,
chow
and
so
I
like
to
make
some
comments
too.
I
do
appreciate,
I,
think
council
member
did
a
fabulous
job
because
going
to
the
report
only
Morgan
Hill,
who
has
a
treasure,
that's
following
the
rule
and
also
one
city,
maybe
Campbell,
was
following
the
rule.
The
rest
of
the
Cities
probably
need
to
appreciate
councilmember
Morris,
you
know
Discovery
and
the
grand
jury,
and
also
our
our
finance
department,
really
did
a
great
job
and
follow
through,
and
so
thank
you
director
of
402
and
your
staff,
but
I
do
want
to
say.
A
A
AF
AH
Pretty
much
I,
don't
have
a
formal
staff
report
prepared,
but,
like
the
written
staff
report
described
two
months
ago,
November
15th,
we
had
an
item
before
the
city
council
to
try
to
come
up
with
a
strategy
to
expedite
the
review
of
the
housing
element.
Update
and
part
of
that
was
to
take
the
draft
that
we
had
received
from
our
prior
consultant
in
mid-october
and
get
that
to
hcd
as
soon
as
possible.
AH
AH
They
were
included
as
an
attachment
staff
report,
and
this
was
essentially
intended
as
an
update
to
show
that
that
has
in
fact
happened
and
that
we're
trying
to
meet
the
target
date
that
we
talked
about
in
mid-november
of
having
the
draft
go
to
the
Housing
and
Community
Development
Department
by
January
31,
which
is
the
certification
date
which
obviously
we
like
a
lot
of
other
cities
are
meeting.
But
we
wanted
to
get
that
to
hcd
by
that
time
and
I
think
to
reiterate
the
the
goal
of
that.
We
we
recognize.
AH
The
draft
that
we
have,
as
we
had
talked
about,
was
essentially
an
administrative
or
a
working
draft.
We
know
there
are
Corrections
that
need
to
be
made
in
that
document,
but
the
goal
was
to
get
the
document
to
hcd
to
get
their
90-day
review
period
started.
We
can
continue
to
work
with
our
consultant,
who
we
are
fully
bringing
on
board
place,
works
to
refine
the
draft
further
and
set
up
meetings
with
hcd
staff.
AH
Should
we
get
the
draft
for
them
by
the
end
of
January?
We
would
anticipate
having
comments
back
from
them
by
the
end
of
April
and
I.
Think
the
goal
with
this
is
just
to
get
all
the
pieces
moving
one
other
thing
we
would
have
too,
as
we
proceed
to
refine
the
draft
and
ultimately
take
this
back
through
the
Housing
Commission,
Planning,
Commission
and,
of
course
City
Council
is.
We
would
then
have
a
comment
letter
from
hcd
which
would
cover
things
like
our
site's
inventory
policies,
a
full
range
of
issues
on
the
housing
element.
AH
Some
of
which
we've
speculated
on
over
the
course
of
the
last
year
in
all
of
the
public
meetings.
So
you
know
that's
really
the
goal
and
the
staff
report
was
intended
just
to
update
the
council
to
let
you
know
that
the
public
comment
period
had
passed
and
that
staff
is
trying
to
work
diligently
to
finalize
the
contract
with
placeworks
and
get
the
draft
off
to
hcd.
AH
AF
Yeah,
just
a
a
few
brief
ones.
First,
when
I
reviewed
the
comments
that
were
part
of
this
item,
I
noticed
a
large
number
that
appeared
not
to
be
there
that
had
we
had
received
at
Council
or
elsewhere
and
I'm
just
curious
as
to
whether
or
not
you
intend
to
include
those
in
the
submission
as
an
attachment,
and
if
not,
is
there
a
means
for
us
to
add
them?
So
we'll
start
there.
AH
I,
don't
have
it
this
evening,
if
that
was
the
goal
to
have
all
of
the
comments
received,
those
can
be
assembled
and
provided
to
you.
Certainly
we're
required
and
fully
intend
to
provide
all
of
the
comments
to
hcd
and
address
them.
So
I
I
think
as
many
of
the
council
members
in
public
who
are
at
this
meeting
tonight
are
aware:
we've
had
I
think
27
total
meetings
dating
back
to
the
fall
of
2021.
AH
many
of
those
meetings.
A
lot
of
comments
were
received
at
planning
Housing
Commission
City
Council.
There
were
three
well-attended
Community
meetings
held
in
Vega
line
in
September
of
last
year,
so
all
of
those
comments
will
need
to
be
provided
and
addressed
in
some
way.
Some
may
take
the
form
of
actually
changing
the
document.
Some
will
be
addressed
with
a
quick
response,
I
think,
as
you
can
see,
even
from
the
sample
the
comments
that
were
included
that
we
received
between
November
18
and
December
23.
AH
Some
are
very
brief,
pointing
out
factual
errors
or
grammatical
errors.
Some
are
saying
I
like
the
documents.
Some
are
saying:
I,
don't
like
the
document.
So
our
goal
is
to
really
make
the
quick
fixes
and
get
the
document
cleaned
up
in
the
next
couple
of
weeks
and
get
that
to
hcd,
but
certainly
all
of
the
comments
that
would
date
back
through
the
public
reviewing
process
could
be
provided
and
definitely
will
be
provided
to
hcd.
AF
AF
AH
We
are
working
right
now
to
come
up
with
an
estimate
of
what
baby
2011,
which
I
believe
goes
into
effect
on
July
1..
What
that
would
mean
for
this
process
and
for
the
city
of
Cupertino
we're,
as
I
said,
we
have
working
drafts
on
that
right
now.
I
have
had
conversations
with
our
housing
consultant
on
how
that
could
affect
the
housing
element
and,
and
frankly,
right
now
there's
a
lot
of
uncertainty.
AH
Think
in
conjunction
one,
we've
had
comments
in
the
past
about
Cupertino
has
its
significant
pipeline
number
of
pipeline
units
if,
for
instance,
and
I
just
say,
if,
if
we
were
not
to
have
all
of
those
be
credited
by
hcd,
it
would
then
I
think
be
a
good
idea
to
look
at
how
ab211
or
2011
could
compensate.
If
we
have
to
look
for
additional
housing
sites-
and
that's
one
of
the
things
that's
been
an
uncertainty,
that
I
would
hope
in
the
next
three
to
four
months.
We
have
a
better
idea.
AH
AF
Okay,
thank
you
very
much
and
then
my
final
question
is
just
one
more
point
of
clarification,
because
I've
received
several
emails.
That
I
think
all
of
us
on
Council
have
are
urging
a
a
quick
send-off
to
hcd,
apparently
under
the
assumption
that
that
means
that
it
is
the
same
as
the
adoption
and
that
there
I
just
wanted
to
clarify
that
there
is
a
distinction
between
adopting
a
housing
element
and
submitting
a
draft
to
hcd.
AH
Yes,
we
have
a
long
process
ahead
of
us.
Nine
months
is
probably
the
shortest,
but
I
would
say
between
nine
months
to
a
year,
and
they
say
that,
particularly
since
we
will
be
doing
an
environmental
impact
report,
it's
very
difficult
to
shorten
that
time.
So
our
goal
is
to
get
something
to
hcd
by
the
certification
date.
That
does
not
mean
we
have
a
certified
housing
element.
It
just
means
we
have
provided
it
to
HDD.
AF
A
AD
Yes,
just
sort
of
a
timeline
question:
if
someone
could
kind
of
recap
on
when
we
needed
to
have
a
compliant
certified
plan,
what
that
date
is
was,
and
then
how
long
is
our
process
from
beginning
to
completion
actually
taking,
because
then,
then
we
can
work
backwards
and
I
can
think
about
when
we
should
have
actually
started,
because
I
am
curious
about
that.
If
we
were
to
get
this
done
on
time,
when
would
we
have
needed
to
have
begun.
Y
AH
AH
X
Could
you
please
clarify
that
on
Deadline,
because
I
remember
in
2015,
the
last
housing
element
deadline
was
January
31st
and
the
city
certified
our
housing
element
on
May,
19th,
I,
think
2015.,
so
most
of
the
Cities
understood
the
January
31st
as
a
deadline
to
submit
rather
than
certify,
but
somehow
later
last
year,
I
mean
this
is
no
City
included,
San
Jose,
San
Francisco
cities
with
a
whole
office
of
attorneys,
but
later
last
year.
Somehow
that
deadline
was
materialized
as
it
has
to
be
generated
for
how
the.
Y
So
a
couple
of
things-
I
just
did
just
to
be
precise,
I
mean
what
what
the
city
council
is
required
to
do
is
adopt
the
housing
element
and
that
that
adopted
housing
element
needs
to
be
substantially
compliant
with
state
law.
It's
hcd,
or
you
know,
hopefully
not,
but
in
some
cases
courts
that
determine
whether
that
what
you
know
make
findings
as
to
whether
that
that
compliance
is
is
met.
Y
Y
Y
X
Y
X
Y
Y
X
Understanding
is
up
until
last
November,
it's
extended
deadline
for
Southern,
California
and
then
about
two-thirds
of
the
cities
are
still
not
compliant.
Do
not
still
still
don't
have
the
so-called
certified
housing
element.
So
but
northern
California
won't
get
that
extended
deadline
of
18
months,
and
so
do
we
have
any
idea
how
many
cities
will
be
complained
by
the
heart
deadline
of
January
31st.
Y
B
A
W
A
E
Z
Student
chair
of
Mary
by
May-
and
that
is
absolutely
right
vice
mayor,
so
we're
using
the
state
imposed
deadline
to
have
a
compliant
document
for
us
to
make
our
first
draft
in
there's
no
correlation
between
the
two
other
than
like.
You
said
that
we're
showing
our
seriousness
and
our
dedication
to
get
the
document
in
ready,
but
there's
no
equation
between
the
two
and
there's
no
correlation
whatsoever.
A
W
O
O
I
was
glad
to
see
my
comments
in
this
item.
I
was
short
and
sweet,
the
arena
numbers
were
rigged
from
the
beginning
and
they
did
one
of
the
worst
things
in
statistical
science.
They
propagated
error
as
they
went
along
and
that
cannot
be
tolerated
in
a
scientific
method.
You
do
not
introduce
error
and
then
keep
dragging
it
along
with
you,
and
that
is
what
has
happened.
Well,
that's
where
we
are.
You
know
so.
I
will
say
right
now.
I
have
some
legitimate
concerns.
O
Yes,
let's
don't
bring
up
a
b2011;
let's
don't
build
up,
bring
up
the
Builder's
remedy.
Southern
California
was
given
extra
time
I
believe
it
was
July
1st
that
skag
was
given
more
time.
Yes,
I
have
been
following
the
sandag
and
skag
and
all
over
the
state,
but
I
have
some
very,
very
grave
concerns
and
I
will
tell
you
right
now.
I
didn't
appreciate
it.
That
hcd
demanded
this
stuff
over
the
Christmas
holiday.
Give
me
a
break
look
what
we
have
been
through
the
pandemic
for
three
years,
then
we
have.
O
This
state
declared
an
absolute
disaster
Zone
because
we
have
had
flooding
no
hcd
like
the
little
Nanny
state,
is
demanding
that
we
rezone
our
entire
city
to
do
their
putinous
protocol.
Yeah
I
I
have
a
lot
of
problems
with
this,
but
we
are
saddled
with
this
dog
and
pony
show,
and
it
will
continue
so
I
also
have
a
question
on
this
and
thank
you
Luke
and
everyone
and
the
22
meetings.
O
I
spent
all
my
time,
I
missed
one
when
we
went
to
Florida
in
in
May,
and
my
mother
was
in
the
hospital
okay,
you
talk
about
dedication
and
I.
Don't
think
hcd
gives
a
hang
about
anybody
in
this
state
we're
going
down
a
bad
Road
here.
The
other
thing
I
wanted
to
have
a
question
about
is
what
is
the
eir
that
is
going
on?
Could
you
talk
about
that?
A
little
bit?
Is
this
the
thing
that's
talking
about
when
we
will
rezone
our
city?
O
I
have
no
respect
for
hcd,
and
if
this
continues
into
the
next
cycle,
we're
going
to
have
some
massive
problems
and
repercussions
and
I
will
tell
you
right
now.
This
will
go
to
the
federal
level.
I
have
never
seen
a
state
agency
such
as
hcd
behave.
This
way
they
ought
to
be
taken
to
task
for
this
and
they
ought
to
be
examined
because
there
is
more,
you
follow
the
money
Trail,
it's
a
waste
of
our
time
and
taxpayer
dollars.
Thank
you.
A
N
Good
evening,
mayor
way
vice
mayor,
Sheila,
Mott
and
council
members,
my
name
is
Connie
Cunningham
and
I've
lived
here
a
long
time
too
go
figure.
I
support,
an
ambitious
housing
element
and,
unlike
the
speaker
before
me,
I
think
that
the
state
has
in
mind
helping
literally
hundreds
of
thousands
of
people
in
our
state
find
housing
and
by
requiring
cities
to
plan
to
build
that
housing
to
ensure
that
more
people
than
just
those
of
us
who
currently
own
homes
or
can
afford
to
rent
homes
here
can
actually
live
here.
N
That's
where
many
of
these
other
problems
start
is
when
people
can
don't
have
a
place.
How
do
you
live
when
you're
living
Outdoors,
so
I
take
great
umbrage
to
the
previous
speaker?
But
that
being
said,
I
think
I
stated
my
point.
I
do
support
an
ambitious
housing
element
with
lots
of
planning
to
put
in
multi-housing
projects
the
thing
that
I
wanted
to
focus
on,
because
there
was
an
organization.
N
Is
an
organization
called
Cupertino
for
all
who
put
in
a
nice
long
letter
about
various,
very
good
projects
that,
if
we
could
put
them
in
now,
would
be
great
but
I
agree
that
we
should
put
something
in
on
the
31st
as
a
placeholder
and
allow
the
state
to
see
that
we
are
trying
and
that
we
care
and
that
we're
going
to
do
something.
But
I
wanted
to
focus
specifically
on
two
things:
the
creation
of
a
tenant,
relocation,
assistance,
ordinance.
N
More
rental
units
have
been
displaced
because
of
Renovations,
Redevelopment
and
similar
activities.
The
other
is
the
rental
preservation
program,
the
city
providing
low
interest
rate
loans
to
existing
rental
property
owners.
These
are
two
things
that
would
go
a
long
ways
to
help
with
our
BMR
units,
which,
during
this
eight
years,
are
going
to
come
up
to
mature
out
of
the
BMR
program.
How
are
we
going
to
keep
them
here
if
we
do
not
have
those
systems
in
policies
in
place
before
that
time?
Thank
you
for
this
opportunity
to
speak.
AA

First
question:
the
second
question
is:
where
will
the
public
find
what's
been
submitted?
The
final
document
submitted
to
HCB
and
I
also
want
to
express
my
hope
that
when
it
comes
back-
and
it
comes
back
with
hcvs
responses
that
the
public,
the
Housing
Commission,
the
Planning
Commission,
all
the
commissions
and
the
public
are
and
the
council
are
able
to
submit
and
participate
in
the
Improvement
of
the
document
to
submit
policies
to
make
this
a
workable
and
successful
approach.
Thank.

If
there's
been
any
serious
efforts,
you
have
the
state
audit
who
which
showed
such
ludicrous
numbers
being
thrown
at
every
city,
what
effect
that
has
had
on
anything
and
whether
that
will
lessen
the
load
as
I
believe
it
should,
but
I
fear
that
nothing
has
been
done
to
correct
hcd's
for
math,
we'll
put
it
that's
just
on
the
flip
side.
I
guess
not
quite
on
the
flip
side,
but
just
another
angle
of
wondering
I
feel,
like
you
know,
the
city
manager
called
this.
M
B
M
M
It
depends
on
who's
who
your
mules
are
doing
the
work
and
who
is
participating
and
how
that
participation
is
is
handled
and,
if
you,
my
belief
and
I,
this
may
be
rude
to
say
at
this
point,
but
my
belief
is
if
we
had
a
different
consultant
who
actually
gave
us
a
timeline
instead
of
refusing
to
do
so
and
just
ignoring
the
fact
that
they
should
be,
we
would
be
in
better
shape
and
so
I
applaud
those
that
are
still
working
on
this
trying
to
get
it
done,
and
that
includes
staff.
That
includes
counsel.
M
A
Z
Take
a
step
at
it:
okay,
mayor
way,
so
there
was
one
question
on
the
eir:
if
I
can
point
your
attention
to
page
three
on
the
staff
report,
staff
story,
working
on
the
scope
of
eir,
which
is
going
to
be
pretty
soon
taking
on
its
parallel
path
to
the
housing
element,
the
eir
ourselves,
it's
going
to
take
9
to
12
months,
we're
hoping
to
wrap
it
up.
When
council
is
adopting
the
housing
element,
you
would
also
certify
the
eir.
Z
This
is
going
to
be
a
difficult
decision,
but
we're
hoping
that
we
will
have
a
compliant
document,
an
eir
by
January
of
2024.,
so
we're
about
a
year
out
and
then
again
I
just
want.
There
are
a
lot
of
good
feedbacks
around
the
members
of
the
public
and
also
council
members.
I
do
want
to
emphasize
that
we're
really
hoping
to
provide
an
informational
update
to
city
council
so
that
we
are
submitting
the
document
by
January
31st.
There's
no
action
for
Council
to
take
tonight
night.
A
X
Okay,
I'd
like
to
thank
the
Pamela
and
look
for
your
leadership
and,
as
I
said
in
our
prep
meeting
reading,
the
staff
report
I
feel
like
a
cloud
Has
Lifted.
Finally,
there
is
definitely
a
timeline
of
one
month
will
get
what
done.
We
never
had
that
that
last
year
and
I
kept
asking
do
I
have
a
timeline
with
specific
dates.
We
never
got
that
and
finally,
we
have
that
I
know
it's
gone,
it's
a
challenging
timeline,
so
there's
anything
that
you
need
from
the
council
to
complete
to
meet
on
the
deadline
you
have
to.
X
Let
us
know
on
and
in
terms
of
scheduling
what
how
how
we
know
it's
going
to
be
challenging
and
and
I
understand
from
the
prep
meeting.
The
submitting
now,
even
though
usually
hcd
takes
the
full
90
days
to
provide
response,
but
you
are
expecting
to
start
the
conversation.
Maybe
get
some
preliminary
comments
in
30
days,
maybe
another
one
in
60
days
so
week.
X
If
we
work
separately,
we
don't
submit,
we
might
be
on
the
wrong
track,
so
submitting
now
might
help
us
to
actually
be
on
the
right
track
to
to
have
the
final
certification
and
and
I
I
have
a
question
still
so
for
both
sides
of
Stevens
Creek,
it's
already
Zone
the
residential
and
some
other
areas.
That's
not
housing
element
sites,
but
they
are
already
zoned
residential
Ori
with
the
higher
high
limit
like
45
feet.
So
are
we
going
to
look
into
the
capacity
of
those
sites
that
are
not
on
the
housing
element.
X
That
I
know
but
I
mean
not
this
one
I
mean
in
the
future.
For
example,
we
have
the
Canyon
Crossing
project.
We
had
the
better
brother
projects,
both
of
those
were
not
housing
element
sites,
but
they
can
develop
because
they
meet
the
general
plan.
Amendment
so
I
mean
General
plan.
So
would
we
be
looking
into
the
capacity
we
have
on
this
non-housing,
but
already
we
don't
do
Residential
at
their
capacity
in
terms
of
their
General
playing
capacity.
W
X
Then,
before
2011
I
think
beta
Brothers
was
able
to
use
a
density,
that's
higher
than
its
current
zoning,
and
we
are
required
to
reason
to
because
they
can
build
to
the
general
plan
density
so
that
density.
That
means
a
lot
of
sites,
even
whether
they
are
housing
element
or
not.
They
can
build
at
a
higher
density
than
currently
zoned.
So
are
we
looking
into
how
much
capacity
we
actually
have
on
those
sites.
Y
I
I
I
Luke
should
feel
free
to
jump
in,
but
I
know
we
are.
We
have
evaluated
capacity
for
sites
that
were
selected
by
Council
in
August
and
then
there's
a
separate
evaluation
that
is
being
done
because
of
maybe
2011
and
and
its
potential
impacts
on
density
is
in
commercial
corridors
in
the
city.
I'm,
not
aware
of
any
other
analysis
of
capacity.
That's
currently
being
done.
AH
Now,
if
I
could
just
jump
in
and
reiterate,
the
City
attorney
Jensen
is
correct.
They
were,
we
are
doing
an
AB
2011
analysis
which
the
Stevens
Creek
Corridor
will
be
a
big
piece
of
that,
but
other
than
that,
the
focus
has
been
on
the
sites
that
were
selected
by
the
city
council
at
the
minimum
densities
that
were
described
that
that's
really
it
at
this
point.
X
AD
In
the
eir,
so
we're
looking
at
having
the
notice
of
preparation
come
out
at
the
end
of
February,
so
I'm
wondering
looking
at
the
ab
2011
sites.
It
almost
looks
like
you've
got
an
even
further
expanded
project.
That's
going
to
need
to
be
evaluated.
Has
that
changed
to
the
equation
for
us
a
little
bit.
Y
AD
A
A
Public
we
are
a
few
minutes
late
next
time.
I
might
make
it
a
eight
minutes
break
instead
of
a
five
minute
break.
So
let's
go
back
to
our
agenda.
We
are
moving
on
to
number
23.
consider
authorizing
the
director
of
Public
Works
to
reject
all
bids
received
for
the
Blackberry
phone
poor
improvements,
Capital
Improvement
program
project.
A
Z
X
X
Sorry
I
put
the
item
because
I
thought
agenda
description
is
a
little
incomplete
and
I'd
like
to
be
more
transparent
on
what
this
agenda
is.
The
title
says
rejecting
all
bits,
but
staff
recommendation
is
to
re-advertise
as
two
separate
projects.
One
is
the
accessibility
and
the
other
one
is
poor
conditioning
step
four
process.
There
is
no
budgetary
on
additional
budget
requested.
However,
the
750
allocated
this
year
is
only
is
for
both
projects.
It's
for
both
accessibility
and
pull
reconditioning.
X
Now
because
of
the
increase
in
construction,
labor
costs,
I
guess
that's
overall,
the
750
will
only
cover
poor
reconditioning,
so
I
thought
this
should
be
clarified
that,
on
this,
actually
is
a
budget
amendment,
because
we
are
actually
amending
the
budget
so
that
the
current
year
budget
only
cover
reduce
the
scope
of
the
project,
and
then
another
budget
request
would
be
necessary
to
cover
the
accessibility
portion.
So
I
think
this
kind
of
item
when
we
need
an
increase
in
budget,
even
though
it's
so
it's
not
this
current
year
shouldn't
be
on
the
consent
agenda.
Z
I'll,
take
a
stab
at
it
and
I
know
Susan's
available
to
fill
me
in
council
member
Chao.
So
the
only
action
we're
asking
council
is
to
authorize
Public
Works
director
to
reject
a
bit
we're
not
asking
Council
to
do
any
budget
allocation,
knowing
that
the
scope
from
the
original
CIP
has
increased.
So
if
we
do
re-
publish
the
RFP
and
with
higher
bids,
we
will
be
asking
Council
to
provide
budget
allocation,
but
not
not
at
this
time,
but
I
do
appreciate
the
comments.
Susan
did
I
lose
any,
did
I
miss
anything.
A
AD
Thank
you,
city
manager,
so
I'm
just
a
little
curious
about
you
know
for
our
edification,
because
this
item
is
going
to
come
back
to
us
in
its
and
it's
altered
from
a
little
bit
from
the
original
CIP
plan
that
was
going
to
happen
there.
So
just
if
you
could,
this
could
also
be
by
memo
just
how
does
that
work,
because
we
approved
a
certain
project
and
now
it's
kind
of
altered,
so
what
have
we've
shared?
Okay,
thank
you
through.
Z
The
mayor,
that
is
a
great
question.
This
is
probably
where
I
need
Susan
to
help
me
out,
but
when
this
does
come
back,
when
the
RFP
does
come
back
you're
absolutely
right,
the
scope
has
increased
from
the
originally
approved
CIP
list.
Susan
I
believe
this
would
have
to
be
in
the
new
CIP
project
for
next
year's
budget.
If
we're
ready
or
a
complete
separate
process.
AI
If
I
may,
I
I
wouldn't
mind
getting
backing
up
and
giving
a
little
bit
more
background
information,
maybe
that'll
help
clarify,
go
for
it.
Council
and
mayor.
Thank
you
for
allowing
me
to
speak
I'm
Susan
Michael,
the
CIP
manager
and
in
December
at
the
December
6th
council
meeting.
We
came
and
asked
Council
to
allow
the
city
city
manager
to
authorize
the
award
of
a
Construction
contract.
AI
If
the
bids
received
from
the
public
bid
process
were
within
budget,
we
did
this
in
order
to
facilitate
starting
the
construction
and
finishing
instruction
prior
to
the
facility
opening
in
the
summer.
However,
the
bids
that
we
received
were
not
within
budget
by
a
significant
amount,
so
we
realized
those
bids.
There
were
two
that
were
qualified
both
had
the
work
for
the
actual
pool
repair
that
section
of
the
bid
was
within
budget.
AI
AI
Stand
staff
plans
similar
to
What,
councilmember
Child,
said
she
split
the
bid
into
two,
so
we'll
have
a
bid
for
just
the
pool
improvements
that
will
be
a
public
process,
we'll
go
back
out
and
then
the
other
bid
would
be
for
the
testability
work.
So
when
just
to
explain
the
amount
of
accessibility
work.
So
when
you
go
in
to
do
a
project
like
the
repairs
to
the
pools,
you're
required
to
get
a
construction
permit
from
the
building
department
as
a
part
of
that
process,
they
require
that
all
projects
be
brought
up
to
full
accessibility.
AI
If
the
scope
of
the
work
to
improve
the
facility
to
full
accessibility
is
greater
than
the
cost
of
the
work,
the
original
scope,
then
you're
allowed
to
apply
for
a
hardship,
and
we
are
applying
for
that
so
that
we
would
only
be
required
by
the
permit
to
do
20
of
the
scope
of
work
as
it
is
for
the
accessibility.
So
what
we've
realized
in
the
process?
The
scope
of
work
right
now,
according
to
the
bids
received
for
the
accessibility,
exceeds
the
scope
of
work
of
the
original
project.
AI
So
we're
going
to
go
back
to
the
building
department
and
clarify
this
scope
of
work
that
is
required
for
the
accessibility
and
our
intent
is
that
that
will
bring
the
cost
of
the
project
back
down
to
be
within
budget
and
just
to
be
clear,
it
is
a
priority
of
the
public
works
department
in
the
city
at
large
to
make
our
facilities
accessible.
We
are
just
trying
to
in
this
within
the
scope
of
this
project
to
bring
the
budget
and
scope
in
line
without
hope
clarify.
AI
X
AI
X
W
X
X
Z
Yeah
through
the
mayor
show
councilmember
child
I
definitely
hear
you
concerned
but,
in
my
opinion,
opinion
that
would
confuse
the
matter,
because
what
we're
asking
Council
again
is
to
reject
a
bit
when
the
project
and
the
bits
are
available
for
you
to
take
consideration
to
amend
the
budget.
We'll
provide
that
information.
In
the
background.
A
E
Yeah,
my
my
question
was,
and
and
I
actually
had
an
opportunity
to
discuss
it
with
the
city
manager
a
couple
of
days
ago.
So
I
did
get
most
of
the
clarification
that
I
wanted,
that
there
is
enough
in
this
year's
budget
for
the
first
part
of
the
the
project
and
the
additional
amount
that
council
member
referenced
is
going
to
be
part
of
next
year's
budget
and
that's
correct.
Z
E
A
AA
Thank
you,
city,
council
staff.
A
couple
things
one
was
that
director
Susan
Michael,
had
her
hand
raised
for
a
comment
and
I
was
wondering
what
she
wanted
to
say.
The
other
thing
is
question:
is
it
possible,
if
you
split
it
up
into
the
work
that
needs
to
be
done
and
the
accessibility
portion?
Is
it
possible
that
a
grant
can
be
obtained
to
cover
accessibility?
AA
AI
AI
Thank
you
mayor.
Thank
you
for
the
comments.
The
what
we
will
hope
to
do
is
go
out
for
bid
again
for
the
pool
work.
We
have
no
reason
to
believe
that
that
will
increase,
and
that
is
about
half
of
the
budget
that
is
750.
It's
approximately
in
the
400
range
450
I
can't
remember
exactly,
but
then,
if
the
accessibility
scope
is
required
to
only
be
20
of
that
amount,
then
we
hope
to
have
a
scope
of
work
that
is
closer
to
one
hundred
thousand
dollars
and
then
that
would
not
require
extra
funding.
W
X
X
This
amount
does
not
cover
the
project
that
hello
that
this
750
000
is
allocated
for
so
I
hope
in
the
future.
This
kind
of
fiscal
impact,
even
though
it's
not
right
at
this
agenda
item,
it
should
still
be
listed
under
fiscal
impact
because
it's
impacting
the
next
year's
budget
and
because
the
budget
to
the
amount,
the
item
that's
covered
by
the
budget
to
the
amount
is
different,
so
just
so
that
we
are
transparent
about
the
actual
fiscal
impact
of
this
request.
Thank
you.
A
AD
Thank
you,
Miriam
be
real,
quick
about
it.
I
just
I'm
curious,
so
the
the
when
it
says,
pool
improvements
in
that
in
that
statement
that
we
just
saw,
that
is
for
the
pool.
That's
not
the
Ada.
The
Ada
will
come
later.
Is
that
correct
I,
just
I'm
just
curious
what
the
order
is
because
you're
mentioning
that
it's
coming
back
in
the
CIP?
Is
it
going
to
go,
pool
Improvement
first
Ada
second,
or
is
this
gonna?
Are
you
going
to
try
to
swap
those
this.
AI
AI
If
the
re-bidding
process
is
accessible,
we
would
come
back
with
asking
you
to
award
the
two
construction
contracts
that
we
would
be
doing
simultaneously,
at
least
in
terms
of
awarding.
So
we
would
award
for
the
pool
improvements
part,
and
then
we
also
would
award
for
everything
else,
which
includes
accessibility,
work
and
a
minor
drain.
Reconnection
thing
it's
possible
that
we
would
award
the
pool
improvement,
work
first
and
get
that
done
and
then
follow
up
with
the
accessibility
work.
A
X
AD
AI
I
am
doing
this
one
and
I
will
say
that
we
have
come
to
council
to
ask
for
your
blessing,
I'm,
sorry,
Susan,
Michael,
CIP
manager.
Thank
you,
Council
I
always
forget,
sometimes
to
all
the
rules,
and
we
are
coming
to
you
to
ask
for
your
approval
of
the
design
direction
that
Community
has
landed
upon
and
we.
What
has
happened
in
short,
is
that
we
presented
we've
developed
three
preliminary
design
options.
AI
We
went
back
to
the
community
and
asked
for
their
preferences,
and
we
did
this
with
meetings
and
online
admissions
surveys
in
person,
various
opportunities
and
the
takeaway
was
that
of
the
three
options:
their
preference.
As
a
blending
of
the
two,
the
nature
trail,
one
I
was
getting
the
name
wrong.
Sorry
and
the
story
Trail,
which
is
mostly
in
Nature
Park
and
the
play,
which
is
the
last
one
and
I
will
share
to
address
councilmember
Wars
questions,
specifically
a
graphic
that
I
developed.
C
AI
So
this
was
the
graphic
that
we
have
included,
that
was
included
in
the
previous
presentations
to
the
commissions
and
community
that
we
did
a
site
analysis.
We
developed
the
Community
Vision
developed
the
design
Alternatives
and
that
we
are
here
now
to
confirm
the
direction
that
we
have
received
from
the
community
with
Council.
Before
we
go
much
further
and
then
we
will
develop
designs
and
the
environmental
report
I
developed
a
graphic.
AI
You
expand
that
to
really
show
what's
left
and
we're
still
here
between
having
done
design
options
coming
back
and
design.
We've
had
three
options
here
with
number
three
number:
four:
we
will
Design
the
final
conceptual
design
and
it's
still
early
in
the
process
to
say:
there's
a
lot
left
to
do
here
then
we'll
do
an
environmental
review
and
that
includes
environmental
permitting
and
then
we're
gonna
at
that
point,
develop
the
schematic
design.
AI
So
once
we
have
the
feedback
from
the
environmental
reports
as
well
as
the
community
and
the
council,
we
will
develop
the
next
level
of
the
design,
and
that
is
when
we
will
come
back
to
you
once
again.
So
you
will
hear
from
us
at
this
point.
We'll
need
this
is
a
decision
point
and
then
we'll
come
back
again,
we'll
have
the
environmental
information
and
then
we'll
go
into
construction
documents
bidding
and
construction.
A
AD
A
O
O
Yes,
I,
my
we're
so
pleased
with
the
consultant.
Susan
has
just
done.
What
are
wonderful
job
staff
has
I
think
that
I've
been
out
there
almost
as
many
times
since
I've,
been
to
the
housing
element
meetings
and
we're
very,
very
pleased.
There
is
a
ton
of
water
out
there
now
I
mean
we
had
a
discussion
about
I
think
it
was
a
month
ago
about
whether
water
was
going
to
be
coming
down.
Saratoga
Creek,
it
is
hauling
down
there.
O
O
We
could
go
Caltrans
got
out
there
and
it
was
it
blocked
part
of
the
bridge,
but
we're
really
really
pleased
about
it
and
I
think
that
the
public
has
really
made
it
known
what
their
they
they
want,
an
area
where
they
can
go
out
and
see
nature
you
know
have
maybe
some
playgrounds
for
the
kids
have
a
trail
that
you
can
walk
on.
The
bicyclists
people
can
head
on
down.
We
haven't
figured
out
the
other
part
where
the
tree
fell
down,
but
I
think
it's
really
just
going
to
be
absolutely
fantastic.
O
I
do
think
that
you
might
need
to
put
an
extra
fencing
along
the
narrow
part
that
comes
Sterling.
Barnhart
comes
out
this
way,
then
you
get
into
the
Saratoga
Creek
portion
and
right
past,
where
the
MIDI
crosswalk
is.
There
is
a
section,
that's
very
narrow
and
someone
actually
fell
in
the
creek
there,
so
you
might
need
to
put
some
extra
fencing
on
there.
My
husband
was
actually
down
there
at
the
point
where
somebody
I
think
Caltrans
was
hauling
him
out
so
anyway.
Congratulations.
Thank
you.
So
much.
C
AJ
I
wanted
to
speak
just
because
I'm
known
as
a
strong
Bike
by
The
Advocate,
so
naturally
I
think
a
lot
of
people
would
assume
that
I
would
really
be
supporting
the
wheel,
fun
concept,
but
really
I
think
that
the
staff
did
a
great
job.
I've
got
a
lot
of
input
from
residents
and
the
story.
Trail
is
the
best
thing
for
us,
so
I
wanted
to
just
put
in
my
my
two
cents
that
this
I
think
is
something
that
would
be
the
best
for
the
most
number
of
residents.
AA

My
concern
is
Saturday.
When
I
went
by
driving
down
Lawrence,
there
were
at
least
two
homeless
encountments,
which
means
that
they
broke
through
the
fencing,
and
it
was
a
day
when
the
it
was
raining
hard
and
the
water
was
running
swiftly,
and
so
my
concern
is
for
the
safety
of
the
individuals
that
are
unhoused.
AA
C
M
Sorry
I
didn't
mean
to
be
late,
but
it
I
wasn't
going
to
speak
until
Peggy
mentioned
the
unhoused,
because
I
saw
the
same
thing.
I
actually
took
pictures
which
I
offered
to
send
to
staff,
but
they
weren't
needed
because
I
sent
an
email
and
I
got
an
answer
that
there's
an
awareness
of
the
actually
growing
and
and
just
so
people
know.
This
is
there's
people
living
not
just
beyond
the
fences
but
up
south
on
the
trail
from
the
bridge.
There's
there's
another
group
and
it
was
very
apparent
the
day.
M
M
We
had
it
for
a
very
long
time,
and
so
it
was
very
obvious
because
these
individuals
were
drying
out
their
you
know
their
shelter
and
their
clothing
and
and
furniture
and
whatever
so
it
was
moved
where
it
was
more
visible
and
being
dried
for
their
comfort,
which
is
completely
understandable,
but
it
really
emphasized
how
many
people
are
using
this
area
as
a
whole
and
anyway,
I
got
answers.
I
needed
from
staff,
they
didn't
need
my
pictures
because
they'd
already
seen
I
don't
know
if
they
saw
the
extent
that
I
saw
that
anyway.
M
A
X
Actually,
first
I
have
a
question
that
I
actually
got
answered
from
staff,
but
I
think
public
probably
wants
to
know
I.
Think
some
of
the
public
mentioned
us
like
30
percent
of
them
would
like
a
sound
wall
and
the
restroom
well
maybe
30
to
40
percent.
So
I'm
just
wondering
are
they
included
in
the
final
concept?
We
are
proving.
Z
X
Okay,
then
another
thing
next
day,
it's
coming,
I
think
Lawrence
Mitty
park,
I.
Think
Public
Works
really
has
done
great
job
in
Outreach
in
all
our
Park
projects,
Lawrence
meaty,
jollyman
and
Memorial
Park
still
really
recommend
them
for
that,
and
but
I'm
a
little
disappointed
with
the
amount
of
data
in
the
agenda
packet.
There
was
only
one
presentation:
I
would
have
hoped
to
see
the
the
real
survey,
because
a
lot
of
times
how
you
ask
the
request
teaching
affect
the
results.
X
That's
going
to
be
over
5
million
dollars,
I
think
we
need
to
respect
their
imposer
if
that
could
be
included
in
Futures
that
staff
report.
That
would
be
really
appreciated.
Thank
you
and
I
believe
this
also
went
to
bike
and
Pad
so
that
you,
you
really
have
done
a
great
job
in
outreaching
all
to
all
the
commission
relevant
commissions.
Thank
you
for
that.
A
Z
I
believe
those
feedbacks
and
the
comments
from
both
commissions
public
committees
have
been
Incorporated
council
member
Charles
comments
are
well
considered,
given
again
we're
at
the
very
high
level.
We
don't
really
want
to
turn
this
into
a
20-page
report,
but
we
definitely
hear
you
concerned
and
we'll
take
that
into
consideration
for
future
preparation.
A
W
AF
A
X
A
Y
That
I
don't
know
if
anybody
knows
so
so
I
think
either
Council
or
it
may
have
been.
The
mayor
did
provide
a
letter
in
support
of
the
general
direction
that
that
supervisor,
sunidian
and
the
Board
of
Supervisors
are
taking
I.
Think
the
question
will
be
sort
of
what
the
what's
the
next
logical
step
in
the
process,
and
we
are
both
Pamela
and
I
are
gathering
more
information
about
sort
of
what
this
process
might
look
like
and
sort
of
what
direction
it
might
go
as
between
the
county
and
Lehigh.
Y
Z
W
Y
B
Y
X
I
think
one
member
of
the
public
asked
about
where
to
report
a
water
waste
I
just
want
to
say
you
can
Google
report
Water
waste.
There
are
sites
on
the
valley,
water
site
to
report,
and
then
they
will
first
provide
a
warning
and
then
than
if
people
they
will
try
to
work
with
residents
to
be
compliant.
If
not,
there
could
be
a
fine
and.
X
A
A
X
A
AF
E
Thank
you,
mayor
I
was
hoping
that,
since
we
had
these
fairly
strict
deadlines
for
the
completion
of
the
housing
element
report
that
we
could
sort
of
track
it
if
it's
just
even
I
in
the
city
manager's
report
something
every
every
time
we
have
a
meeting
to
show
us
where
we
are
just
in
case.
We
go
off
track.
At
least
we
won't
be
surprised
or
we
shouldn't
be
going
off
track,
but
at
least
there
won't
be
any
surprises
in
in
the
event
that
there
is
a
delay
at
some
point.
So.
Z
Through
the
mayor
in
my
weekly
newsletters
to
council,
if
there
is
a
significant
Milestone,
I,
usually
bring
up
and
also
I
try
to
make
a
point
to
bring
you
an
update
here
in
our
one-on-one.
But
your
comment
is
well
noted.
If
there
is
a
milestone
that
CDD
has
reached,
for
instance
by
January
31st,
we
made
a
submittal
you'll,
be
the
first
to
know
so
I'll
make
that
commitment
to
you.
Thank
you.
AD
AD
X
Z
Z
If
I
were
to
interject
I
I
loved
idea,
but
this
is
not
the
time
yet
because
we
don't
have
any
idea.
So
if
I
could,
when
the
time
is
right
to
bring
a
either
a
proposal
or
a
follow-up
on
Lehigh
back
to
council,
as
far
as
I
know
that
county
of
Supervisors
working
on
their
Reclamation
plan.
But
it's
going
to
take
about
9
to
12
months.
X
Y
AD
Yeah,
okay,
through
the
mayor,
I
I'd
like
to
have
some
information
that
would
let
us
know
the
differences
between
the
2012
Reclamation
plan
in
the
2019
one
and
what
they're
planning,
because
I'm
hearing
from
the
public,
something
about
the
using
it
essentially
as
a
clean,
fill
place,
which
was
the
2019
version.
So
I
I
want
to
understand
what,
where
they're
at
right
now
and
what
the
difference
is:
a
real
high
level.
AD
Z
I'll
follow
up
with
director
Alfaro
we'll
have
a
memo
explaining
the
cdtfa
background
and
also
the
position
this
upcoming
legislation
after
Consulting,
with
our
lobbyists
added
to
the
cdtfa
memo
also
provided
to
council,
we
will
have
any
Milestone
related
to
the
housing
element,
provide
an
update
either
in
my
weekly
emails
or
during
our
101s
or
during
the
account
a
city
managers
update
to
council
and
also
members
of
the
public.
The
only
feature
agenda
item
that
I
have
received
is
the
city
hall
renovation
was
proposed
by
council,
member
fruen
and
second
by
mayor
way.
Z
A
W
A
X
Y
W
A
X
AD
To
add
one
more,
we
all
received
an
email
from
a
parent
who's,
adult
child
wanted
to
get
a
place
in
Cupertino
and
they
were
noting
how
many
homes
were
vacant
and-
and
we
have
mentioned
in
the
past-
a
vacancy
tax
and
Oakland
has
a
vacancy
tax
and
I'm
wondering
if
there's
any
appetite
from
the
council
for
us
to
look
into
one
with
the
potential
of
putting
it
on
the
ballot
in
2024,
November
2024
with
that
with
that
election
and
so
I'm
hoping
there
is
some
support
for
that
and
I'm.
Just
putting
that
out.
There.
A
Z
Before
before
you
take
a
vote,
I'm
sorry,
so
I
just
kind
of
want
and
I
know
that
I'm
crossing
that
line
I
just
want
to
provide
a
little
bit
background.
If
we
were
to
put
this
on
a
future
agent
item,
this
is
on
a
very
aggressive
timeline
to
make
the
ballot
a
project
of
this
size
usually
will
come
to
us
to
staff
as
a
work
program
item,
because
we'll
take
a
lot
of
Staff
resource.
Z
B
X
So
considering
that
especially
I
think
we
at
least
need
to
know
what's
involved,
what's
the
timeline,
if
that's,
if
because
in
case
it's
something
we
want
to
consider,
we
have
to
put
that
on
the
next
year's
work
program
or
even
earlier
so
I
think
it's
I,
don't
know
whether
it's
necessary
for
Cupertino.
Yet
until
we
look
at
the
data,
but
I
know,
San
Francisco
has
a
lot
of
vacant
homes
that
just
send
my
son
there.
So
I
think
we
need
to
look
into
this
option.
At
least.
Z
X
Y
I,
what
I
would
recommend
is,
if
there's
there's
an
interest
in
putting
us
that
agenda
would
just
have
it
just
be
a
referral
to
staff
to
to
report
on
on
on
on
the
sort
of
the
effort.
You
know
what
would
be
required
to
implement
a
vacancy
tax
and
and
then
to
get
direction
on
as
to
what
the
tax
should
would
be
directed
at.
AD
Y
AD
Z
I
guess
a
point
of
clarification
and
piggyback
on
what
Chris
mentioned.
Is
that
if
we
do
guess,
I
can
vote
on
this
future
agenda
item
we'll
be
coming
back
clarifying
from
Council
and
give
full
Council
support
on
what
you
like
staff
to
study
on,
so
we
will
not
come
back
and
providing
a
timeline
and
providing
the
research
we're
coming
back
to
you
to
refine
that
scope.
Oh
okay,
that's.
Z
Items
no
proposed
feature
agenda
item
mere
way
if
I
could
just
kind
of
follow
up
on
our
study
session
item
that
we
didn't
get
through
tonight,
so
I
was
hoping
and
since
I
have
the
full
Council
to
pull
your
availabilities
on
January
25th
and
the
study
session
will
start
at
four
and
tentatively
schedule
through
eight
o'clock.
That
will
allow
four
hours
for
Council
to
go
through
two
items
and
per
council
member
Charles
emotion.
