Would

item
number

C
Thank
you,
mr
street
manager.
Thank
you,
mr
mayor
and
city
council
members
concerned
a
time
I
will
just
pass
off
to
carrick
hughes
or
a
housing
manager
from
community
element.
Department
should
be
doing
the
bulk
of
the
presentation
tonight
and
we're
happy
to
answer
questions
afterwards.
Thank
you
great.
D
So,
at
the
request
of
counsel,
we
will
focus
on
the
updates
to
the
hcd
annual
performance
report
tonight
and,
if
there's
a
need
to
expand
on
any
material,
hugos
planning
manager
is
here
to
support
the
general
plan
report
detail
so
an
overview
in
accordance
with
state
law.
California,
cities
must
have
an
adopted
general
clam
with
the
housing
element.
D
Thank
you
and
I
think
we
can
skip
the
background
on
reno
we're
covering
a
lot
of
this
depth
during
our
housing
element
process.
I
would
like
to
highlight
that
each
jurisdiction
must
prepare
an
annual
progress
report
on
the
status
and
progress
in
implementing
its
housing
element,
so
we're
here
tonight
to
provide
you
with
further
details.
D
Here's
an
overview
of
the
city's
rita
entitlements
for
2014-2021
in
three
of
the
four
categories.
We
have
far
exceeded
our
arena
obligations.
We
have
entitled
and
produced
417
total
units
counted
counted
towards
our
annual
housing
element,
progress
report.
We
have
entitled
3190
units
which
have
not
yet
been
produced.
D
D
D
Overall
in
2021,
the
city
issued
40
building
permits,
all
of
which
are
adus.
You
see
that
there
is
quite
a
bit
about
quite
a
bit
of
housing
that
remains
to
be
built,
and
so
we
can
go
on
to
the
highlights
slide.
Seven
one
more
slide
table
a
housing
development
application
submitted.
We
had
one
application
in
2021
for
the
coach
house,
which
is
a
34
unit.
Mixed
use,
project.
D
D
A
Well
done
carrie
on
both
the
underlying
work
and
the
presentation.
Let
me
go
to
our
members
of
the
public.
I
do
see
one
with
a
hand
raised
that
is
jenny,
jenny,
griffin
and
so
I'll
remind
everyone
that
you'll
need
to
have
your
hand
raised
by
the
time
that
jenny
is
done.
Speaking
with
her
comments
in
order
to
be
called
on
for
this
item
15.
A
E
E
The
state
may
not
think
we're
doing
it,
but
we
are
doing
everything
that
is
required
of
our
current
housing
mail
element,
even
though
the
housing
element
has
been
put
for
put
before
us.
As
a
gargantuan
impossibility,
I
believe
that
hcd
is
being
handled
by.
I
would
call
it
it's
being
run
as
a
random
number
generator
in
programming.
There
are
current
programs
for
the
old
stirs.
Who
can
program
not
be
this
is
before
apps.
There
were
things
in
scientific
programming
called
random
number
generators
and
they
would
generate
strings
of
numbers
that
could
be
used
in
computations.
E
That
is
my
comprehension
of
how
hcd
is
being
managed
by
this
state.
It
is
a
random
number
generator.
We
are
getting
statements
that
contradict
no
one
is
in
charge,
and
that
is
the
goal
I
want
to
make
sure.
Yes,
cupertino
is
doing
everything
possible,
but
we
have
a
random
number
generator
running
out
of
control
in
california
and
it
is
running
amok
and
no
one
is
taking
charge
and
there
are
powers
up
there
that
are
letting
it
get
worse
and
worse
and
they
know
that
it
is
bad.
E
So
I
commend
the
city
for
doing
everything
possible.
I
just
wanted
to
make
sure
that
hcd
was
not
giving
us
was
not.
I
mean
I've
sat
through
these
staff
meetings
before
for
the
last
several
years.
I
recognized
them.
We've
never
had
hcd
blow
up.
This
way
is
hcd
this
year
requiring
more
explicit
information
from
us
than
they
have
ever
before.
E
It's
it's
random
number
generator
strings
of
code
of
numbers
are
just
like
whack-a-mole
hcd
has
become
a
big
game
in
whack,
a
mole,
and
I
don't
want
our
city
to
get
whacked.
So
I
anyway,
I
commend
the
staff,
but
I
really
really
really
have
major
problems
with
who
was
controlling
hcd
or
giving
them
information.
This
point,
but
I
I
commend
cupertino
and
if
you
guys
could
just
talk
about
whether
any
of
the
information
from
hcd
has
changed
on
this
item
in
the
last
year,
because
I
would
be
really
interested
in
it.
A
F
F
A
Thank
you
very
much
peggy
and
that
concludes
our
public
speakers
for
item
number
15..
Let's
bring
it
back.
This
is
a
fairly
straightforward
item
under
ordinances
and
action
items,
and
I
know
that
it
does
fall
under
action
items
and
so
I'll
just
put
forward
a
simple
motion
that
council
note
this
report
has
received.
G
Oh
sorry,
I
just
find
out
my
video
is
off
so
yeah
a
comment.
I
hope
that
this
report
goes
to
this
housing
commission's
agenda,
so
they
can
review
it
and
be
informed
on
input
I
think
in
menlo
park.
This
kind
of
report
actually
goes
to
the
housing
commission
first
before
it
comes
to
a
council,
but
I
know
that
there
is
deadline,
but
at
least
it
should
go
to
them,
and
I
wonder,
what's
the
is
there
an
evaluation
of
effect
effectiveness
of
the
current
policies?
G
H
I
I
H
B
H
A
Okay,
great
does
that
wrap
your
questions
and
comments?
Councilman
boy,
okay,
great
I'm
gonna!
Take
that
as
yes,
okay,
wonderful,
so
I'll
bring
it
back
to
staff,
miss
usler
or
city
manager.
Troop
would
either
of
you
like
to
begin
with,
addressing
the
comments
and
questions
raised
by
vice
mayor
chow
and
kills
my
way
and
jim.
I
did
see
your
hand
raised
a
moment
ago.
A
B
J
We
do
allow
them
in
other
zoning
districts,
but
they
do
need
a
conditional
use
permit
for
that.
So
that's
that's
the
answer
to
your
second
of
your
first
question.
With
regard
to
the
second
question
that
the
pdf
reports
that
were
attached
to
this
to
the
agenda
item
are
are
actually
generated
by
htv.
The
the
actual
file
is
a
a
very
long
form
in
excel
spreadsheets,
and
so,
if,
if
you
were
to
line
all
the
the
pdf
pages,
that
you
have,
that's
really
what
the
form
looks
like.
J
So
when
you
see
the
list
of
addresses,
the
numbers
are
actually
reported
on
three
pages
down
so
on
table
a2,
where
on
table
a
we're,
actually
a2
we're
actually
required
to
report
out
on
projects
that
have
been
applied
in
this
current
year.
Projects
that
have
been
entitled
projects
that
have
completed
got
certificates
of
occupancy,
so
there's
three
different
categories
in
which
that
we
have
to
report
out
on
and
so,
as
a
result,
those
numbers
are
reported
in
different
places.
J
I
Okay,
sorry
mayor
can
have
one
more
quick
question.
I
just
found
out
my
one
more
quick
question:
okay
yeah,
it
says
the
certificate
of
occupancy
that
we
really
only
issued
20.
If
I
get
the
number
24.
does
it
mean
that
in
2021,
even
though
we
have
those
you
know,
permits
and
everything,
but
only
22
certificates
of
occupancy
have
been
issued
in
2021.
J
J
J
A
C
Mr
mayor,
I
saw
the
interrupt
I
don't
I
don't
see
why
we
wouldn't
wouldn't
do
that.
We
were
planning
on
doing
that
as
an
information
item
anyway.
So
we've
done
that
on
the
previous
years,
taking
the
city
council
for
for
approval
and
then
as
fyi
to
to
our
commission.
So
we
can
certainly
do
that.
Okay,
great.
K
J
They,
you
know,
chose
to
go
through
it
in
the
manner
that
they
chose
to
go
through
at
this
time
and
they
did
not
propose
any
edits
or
amendments
to
the
the
general
plan
policies
in
the
manner
that
they
did
in
the
earlier
year.
So
the
but
the
comments
that
were
made
they
are,
they
do
reflect
edits
and
updates
from
the
la
previous
years.
In
terms
of
how
progress
has
been
made
on
those
particular
policies.
C
And
then
we'll,
I
will
add
couple
more,
I
think,
through
your
leadership
and
that
that
one
year
we
went
through
the
item
pretty
extensively
which
set
us
up
really
well
for
the
for
the
subsequent
a
few
years,
and
so
that
that
was
actually
a
very
good
exercise
to
go
through,
as
you
recall,
so
that
that
actually
went
out
pretty
pretty
well
pretty
successful.
For
us.
K
A
Great,
thank
you
councilman
moore.
Well,
at
this
point
I
don't
see
further
hands
raised.
I
will
recommend
that
follow-ups
happen
with
regard
to
some
of
the
comments
and
questions
that
are,
you
know
still
pending
at
this
time,
but
seeing
the
motion
on
the
table
and
having
had
the
presentation
presented,
I
would
like
at
this
time
for
our
city
clerk
to
conduct
the
roll
call
vote
on
that.
N
A
Thank
you
very
much,
madam
city
clerk,
and
so
we
are
back
to
item
number
11
at
this
time.
Item
number
11
is
a
review
of
our
homeless
jobs
program,
which
is
under
our
current
fiscal
year
city
work
program
and
to
consider
an
adoption
of
resolution
number
22-026,
accepting
the
accounts
payable
for
it
might
reading
a
oh.
I
see
because
this
was
taken
off
of
that
accounts
payable
period.
A
Okay,
I
apologize
for
that
that
bit
of
a
brain,
blip,
okay
and
and
consider
adoption
of
resolution
number
22-026
accepting
accounts
payable
for
the
period
ending
january,
10
2022,
and
so
I
do
see,
kerry
is
listed
here
again
as
the
presenter
and
so
I'll
I'll
forgo
the
the
nicety
of
going
through
our
city
manager.
Carrie
welcome
back.
D
Sure
I
have
a
brief
presentation.
My
name
is
carrie
heussler,
I'm
the
housing
manager
and
good
evening
again,
mayor
and
council
members,
I'm
here
tonight
to
bring
you
the
review
of
the
homeless
jobs
program
and
the
accounts
payable
item.
To
give
you
a
quick
background
on
the
program.
The
fiscal
year
2122
city
work
program
includes
the
homeless
jobs
program
with
an
objective
to
create
a
jobs
program
for
up
to
two
individuals.
D
For
six
months,
with
a
two
hundred
thousand
dollar
budget,
the
city
issued
an
rfp
in
fall
2021
and
received
one
response
from
west
valley.
Community
services
who
took
the
initiative
to
create
a
pilot
program
to
serve
the
city's
needs.
The
city
then
entered
into
contract
with
west
valley,
community
services
for
169
thousand
dollars,
169
and
58
dollars
to
administer
the
program.
D
D
A
Thank
you,
carrie
I'll,
go
to
our
members
of
the
public
for
any
public
commentary
on
this
item
number
11.,
I
see
one
hand
raised
that
is
from
jenny,
as
well
as
from
connie
cunningham
and
so
I'll
remind
everyone.
Please
have
your
hand
raised
by
the
time
that
our
first
speaker,
jenny,
is
done
speaking
and
if
you
do,
we
will
call
on
you
for
public
comment
on
this
item.
Number
11.
welcome
jenny.
E
E
What
started
as
a
complete
disaster
with
the
homeless
camp
that
was
on
the
sidewalks
of
wolf
road
by
280
for
the
I
think
it
was
a
year
ago,
two
years
ago,
has
turned
into
one
individual,
having
a
lot
of
experience,
potentially,
maybe
being
able
to
get
a
job.
Another
individual
who
just
exited
has
had
a
number
of
months
of
care
and
concern
and
job
training,
and
maybe
that
person
will
be
able
to
have
a
brighter
future
at
some
point
when
the
current
challenges
are
taken.
E
Care
of
we
just
don't
know,
but
I'm
very
proud
that
cupertino
has
helped
these
individuals
to
go
to
a
brighter
future
in
whatever
they're
doing.
I
I'm.
I
think
that
we
need
to
find
this
as
a
very,
very
hopeful
event
in
what
has
happened
in
the
last
two
years.
There
have
been
many
many
criticisms
of
cupertino
from
many
different
people,
politicians,
governors
senators
for
the
last
two
years.
E
These
comments
are
very
hurtful,
and
many
of
them
are
untrue,
and
I
think
that
we
can
hold
this
jobs
program
up
as
a
shining
example
of
the
very
very
best
that
is
in
cupertino.
We
did
it
ourselves.
We
did
not
have
help
from
outside
agencies
we
contracted
with
west
valley.
I
commend
them
for
all
their
help,
but
we
did
it
as
a
city
because
we
cared
and
if
anyone
dares
say
that
cupertino
has
no
heart,
that
we
are
no
good,
then
they
just
look
at
this
program.
E
A
N
O
Oh
good
evening,
yes,
my
name
is
connie
cunningham
and
I'm
on
the
housing
commission,
but
I'm
speaking
for
myself
this
evening,
I
was
just
wondering
I.
I
agree
that
this
is
a
good
program
and
I
was
just
wondering
if
it's
possible
to
while
the
other
person
needed
to
leave
one
person
needed
to
leave.
Is
there
a
way
then
to
offer
another
person
a
position
or
is
that
job
being
held
for
that
person
to
come
back
anyway?
A
A
P
Q
Q
Q
Q
Sorry
so
yeah
from
so
we
are
very
excited
like
I
said
it
was
a
pilot
we
tested
it
out.
We
were
able
to
do
this
really
quickly,
as
we
absorbed
the
two
participants
within
west
valley,
community
services
and
that's
the
additional
benefit
of
ramping,
a
project
that
is
such
a
short
time
frame
and
doing
the
pilot.
So
we
thank
kerry
for
all
her
support
and
I'm
super
excited
about
this
program
and
the
future.
If
we
have
to
do
this,
west
valley
is
still
interested
in
continuing
a
program
like
that.
P
Yeah,
just
just
a
a
couple
comments.
You
know
I
mean
you
know
I.
I
don't
know
that
any
of
us
can
really
ever
feel
what
a
homeless
person
feels
we
can.
We
can
try
and
and
imagine
what
they
feel
once
a
person
is,
is
like
that,
in
my
view,
how
does
that
person
come
up
with
the
the
wherewithal
to
try
and
and
start
again
and
by
offering
you
know
an
a
place
where
they
can
come
and
and
try
without
worry
of
failure?
P
K
Thank
you,
mayor
paul.
I
was
wondering
when
the
individual
left
the
program
due
to
personal
challenges,
is
that
individual
homeless,
again
and
and
were
the
personal
challenges,
something
in
general
terms
that
we
could
have
some
information
about.
Was
this
something
that
you
know
counseling
could
have
helped
in
some
way?
I'm
I'm
concerned
about
that.
I
would
actually
like
a
a
report
from
staff,
and
I
I
I
can
ask
this
on
the
end.
K
I'd
like
to
know,
since
we
have
have,
we
have
this
bond
out
there.
What
have
they?
What
has
the
county
been
doing
with
this
money
and
how?
What
have
they
done
in
for
the
cities?
With
regards
to
the
homeless
situation
in,
in
actual,
you
know
tangible
results,
because
I
I
appreciate
that
we
are
doing
this
effort
here,
but
what
we
did
this
in
2016,
we
approved
this
bond
the
county.
What
have
they
done?
K
We
signed
on
to
the
the
task
force
to
end
homelessness
for
the
county
and
which
all
they're
good
things
it
sounded
like.
We
were
going
to
have
something
happen
and
I'm
not
seeing
the
results
with
regards
to
the
homeless
population
here
and
so
we're
left
going
on
our
own
and
I'm
concerned
about
the
the
longevity
of
this
program,
because
what
is
going
to
happen?
We
want
to
be
compassionate
and
and
caring
for
the
people
that
we've
brought
into
the
program.
K
What
happens
at
the
end
of
the
six
month
period
so
for
one
individual,
that's
a
hundred
and
twenty
seven
thousand
dollars
will
have
been
spent.
You
have
about
thirty,
four
thousand
dollars
for
income
plus
another
twenty
seven
thousand
dollars
for
housing,
plus
another
twenty
five
hundred
dollars
for
clothing.
K
What
happens
at
the
end
of
that
six
month
period?
Are
we
pulling
the
rug
out
and
and
and
sending
this
individual
off
to
go
fend
for
themselves?
I'm
very
concerned
about
that
and
I'm
and
I'm
I'm
very
saddened
to
hear
that
we,
you
know,
had
a
person
leave
the
program
as
well.
So
I,
if
there's
anything,
we
could
find
out
about
why
that
happened,
and
you
know,
like
some
advice
on
whether
or
not
this
is
a
wise
program
for
us
to
continue,
because
we're
going
to
have
to
make
a
decision
about.
K
Do
we
have
the
resources
here
and
what?
What
are
the
metrics
for
success
at
at
the
end
of
the
day?
So-
and
I
think
maybe
that's
it-
we
need
to
have
some
some
metrics.
What
does
success
look
like
and
then
also
go
to
the
county,
go
to
the
county
and
find
out
what
they've
been
doing
with
this
bond
money?
K
A
Okay,
great,
thank
you
very
much.
Councilmember
moore!
I'm
going
to
go
ahead
and
move
that
we
adopt
resolution
number
two:
do
dash
zero,
two
six
and
that's
accepting
count,
accounts
payable
for
the
period
ending
january
10
2022.,
and
it
looks
like
for
the
purpose
of
further
discussion
vice
mayor
ciao.
Did
you
want
to
second
that
motion.
A
A
I
think
it's
great,
you
know
I.
I
commend
councilmember
willie
for
suggesting
this
initially
in
our
work
program.
I
think
it's
a
great
start
for
us
to
be
looking
at,
you
know,
being
able
to
provide
a
pipeline
to
to
employment,
but
ultimately
it
really
does
come
down
to
our
facilities
and
resources
that
are
available.
So
I
I
would
like
to
see
you
know
more
of
a
full-fledged
effort
in
the
future,
and
you
know
to
the
extent
that
we
can
do
something
significant.
A
I
will
note
that
the
person
presenting
this
item
to
the
cities
association
last
week
was
supervisor
simidian,
who
does
represent
us
in
the
in
the
county,
and
so
he
did
mention
that.
There's
something
on
the
order
of
40
million
dollars
available
to
cities
throughout
the
county
right
now,
for
you
know
these
particular
types
of
programs.
So
that's
in
addition
to
your
measuring,
you
know
dollars,
and
I
will
note
with
regard
to
councilmember
moore's
comment.
A
You
know
personally,
I
think
she's
spot
on
with
regard
to
the
measure,
a
funds
in
in
terms
of
are
we
really
focusing
on
the
greatest
need
right
because,
on
the
on
the
vta
right
now
the
the
transportation
authority
we're
looking
at
things
called
transit,
oriented
developments,
and
so
not
every
transit
oriented
development
necessarily
focuses
on
supportive
housing
for
the
homeless.
Some
you
know,
as
we've
seen
in
our
previous
item.
A
You
know
for
physical
purposes
or
whatever
purposes
they,
they
focus
on
different
types
of
levels
of
affordability,
and
so
you
know
it's
nice
to
be
able
to
see
these
opportunities
here
right
now.
There's
significant
amounts
of
funding
going
around.
But
of
course,
if
you
know
we
are
really
really
serious
about
you
know,
trying
to
take
advantage
of
these
opportunities.
A
They
can
be
met
in
a
fashion
that
effectively
to
the
standards
of
our
city.
You
know
addresses
a
lot
of
the
issues
that
we've
seen
so
with
regard
to
the
homeless,
encampment
on
wolf
road.
Of
course,
we
did
a
really
tremendous
job,
including
you
know,
west
valley,
community
services,
the
community
city
hall.
A
We
all
converged
with
office
of
supportive
housing
in
the
county,
and
so
I
think
it's
a
matter
of
keeping
that
going.
You
know
personally,
I
set
aside
a
lot
of
the
various
critiques.
You
know
and
criticisms
and
just
kind
of
focus
upon
what
the
problems
are,
because
at
the
end
of
the
day
you
know
there
are
all
sorts
of
motivations
out
there.
Right
I
mean
we
can.
Basically,
you
know
talk
until
you
know
5am
in
the
morning.
A
With
regard
to
you
know
what
the
real
motivations
underlying
a
lot
of
these
things
are,
but
you
know
it
is
indisputable
that
there
is
an
unhoused
population
issue,
and
so
you
know
with
a
lot
of
the
support
out
there
right
now,
it
seems
like
we
can
be
taking
some.
You
know
fairly
definitive
action
as
to
this
item
yeah.
No,
I
agree
with
councilman
moore's
comment
that
you
know
we
should
be
looking
at
metrics.
You
know
we
have
a
certain
amount
of
money.
A
There
are
a
couple
of
people
that,
were
you
know,
helped
by
this
one
person
you
know,
dropped
out.
You
know,
as
sujatha
had
mentioned,
but
kind
of
looking
at
this
from
you
know
different
metrics
as
well.
I
mean
now
that
we've
created
a
bit
of
a
framework.
What
can
we
be
doing
moving
forward?
So
so
those
are
some
of
my
comments
on
on
on
this
particular
item.
So
let's
go
sujatha.
Your
your
hand
is
raised.
Did
you
want
to
comment
or
you,
okay,.
Q
A
Q
So
one
of
the
things
when
we
went
into
the
program
it
was
structured
as
ongoing
case
management,
so
we
knew
that
we
would
have
to
leverage
case
management
beyond
the
participants
time
in
the
program
and
the
intention
of
designing
the
program
be
very,
very
clear
that
we
would
provide
housing
and
the
case
management
and
the
job
training
with
hope
that
their
new
the
jobs
either
they
had
or
do
career
development
and
enhancement
and
move
into
a
position
of
interest.
So
to
your
point,
this
was
this
is
an
ongoing
built-in
support.
Q
I
cannot
go
into
details
of
the
participant,
but,
as
you
all
know,
that
best
valley
community
services
is
a
housing
first
model
and
our
case
management
is
designed
as
a
harm
reduction
model.
The
participant
has
the
choice
to
come
back
to
us,
and
so
we
give
them
time
and
space,
but
all
the
services
are
available
if
they
are
ready,
we
are
there
for
them
to
support.
So
just
I
wanted
to
make
that
comment
for
you
and
the
other
thing
is.
Q
C
A
Okay
well,
thank
you,
sujatha
interesting,
I'm
learning
more
features
about
zoom.
It
seems
like
when
there's
a
bit
of
a
glitch
and
you
freeze,
you
go
really
quickly.
You
know
for
for
a
second
or
two
okay.
I
appreciate
that.
So
we
did
hear
all
the
content.
Let's
go
on
to
vice
mayor
ciao
and
then
I
see
councilmember
willie
has
his
hand
raised,
and
so
let's
go
to
vice
merchant.
G
G
So
a
lot
of
this,
not
only
the
state
funding
but
also
federal
funding
from
hud,
goes
to
the
county.
The
county
has
a
youth
homeless
program
and
the
county
also
actually
have
a
career
path
program,
similar
to
what
we
have,
for
example.
This
is
of
county
webs.
It's
a
consultant
not
serving
the
county.
They
have
a
goal
to
end
by
the
end
of
2020.
They
will
enroll
170
people
in
the
job
trends
program.
G
So
I
wonder
how
much
we
are
leveraging
the
county
resource,
because
I
can
see
that
in
our
staff
report
where's
only
68
000
is
spent
off
on
the
two
salaries
for
the
two
individuals,
but
there
is
a
high
of
a
60
is
administrative
cost.
So
if
we
leverage
the
same
program
with
the
county,
would
that
let
us
serve
more
people
and
with
more
experience
since
the
county
is
already
doing
it,
and
I
wonder
about
that.
G
So
that's
one
thing.
Another
thing
is:
I
watched
the
ct
plan
to
end
homeless,
kickoff
meeting
a
fantastic
presentation,
a
lot
of
information
there
about
what
the
city
has
done.
The
city
did
a
lot
actually
beyond
this.
However,
it
didn't
give
much
information
about
what
the
county
has
done,
which
is
what
we
need
to
know.
We
paid
the
property
tax
to
the
county,
so
how
many
cupertino
citizens
they
have
sure
served,
and
can
they
help
us
or
maybe
provide
part
of
the
funding
for
this
program
that
we
are
supporting?
A
Q
I
just
mayor,
if
that's
okay,
I
just
want
to
comment
on
the
county
program
and
the
leveraging
and
the
rest.
I
would
get
give
it
to
kerry
and
city
staff,
so
a
vice
may
child.
The
way
it
works
is
the
program
that
is
designed
by
destination
home.
It
is
for
people
who
are
in
the
in
the
queue
the
community
queued
to
fine
housing.
So
it's
catered
to
more
to
rapid
re-housing
client.
So
it
is
a
program
design,
but
it
it.
Q
List
people
are
waiting
so
sram,
yes,
so
we
are
leveraging
that,
but
this
was
uniquely
designed
because
this
doesn't
go
into
the
county
system
of
the
waitlist.
So
I
hope
that's
that
I
just
wanted
to
clarify
that
there
are
two
separate
programs
if
you
have
to
look
at
it
with
two
different
lenses:
okay,.
A
P
P
If
we
don't
help
these
individuals
a
year
from
now,
what
are
they
going
to
have
to
show
for
it?
Oh,
they
were
in
the
queue
at
santa
clara,
so
I
I
would
just
you
know,
hope
we're
not
going
to
be
pennywise
pennywise
and
pound
foolish.
These
are
people
that
are
being
checked
that
they
really
are
interested
in
getting
themselves
out
of
poverty
and
back
into
being
self-sufficient
and
how?
How
can
we
put
truly
a
price
on
it?
Yes,
it
is
money,
it
is
coming
from
our
tax
dollars.
P
A
I
I
It's
really
a
great
way
to
help
a
real
person,
and
these
are
people
who
live
in
cupertino
who
are
homeless
or
if
their
mental
health
issues
that
personal
one
person
at
a
time.
I
think,
as
council
member
willie
says
it
is
priceless,
and
so
I
I
I
kind
of
want
to
say
the
price
we're
helping
with
one
person
at
a
time.
It's
worth
it
and
then,
of
course,
we
are
going
to
tap
into
the
county
program
and
work.
Maybe
a
globe
more
serve
more
homelessness,
but
this
I
this
program
touches
my
heart.
A
A
Thank
you,
madam
city
clerk,
and
so
we
are
now
on
item
number
12
and
just
to
do
a
a
quick
procedural
check
here
to
remind
our
members
of
the
public.
We
only
have
items
12
and
13
left
on
our
agenda
item.
14
was
placed
into
the
consent
calendar
item
15
was
taken
prior
to
this
item
here
that
we
just
considered
and
so
item
12
is
to
consider
issuing
a
request
to
the
cupertino
union
school
district
board
for
reconsideration
of
the
future
closures
of
regnart
and
meyerholt's
elementary
schools
and
mr
city
manager
troop.
A
B
To
get
my
notes,
I'm
going
to
be
the
one
doing
it
tonight,
so
this
was
an
item.
The
accounts
request
to
bring
back
a
letter
which
is
crafted
by
a
council
member
to
discuss
the
cupertino
union
school
district's
potential
closure
of
two
schools,
regner
and
beyerholt's
elementary
schools
in
october
2021,
the
school
district
voted
to
close
the
two
schools
and
relocate
the
students
to
other
schools
within
the
district
reorganization.
B
A
A
and
let
me
just
you
know,
ask
everyone
if
you
have
thoughts
on
this
one
way
or
the
other
you
know
greatly
respected,
but
you
know
at
the
end,
if
we
have
a
truly
excessive
number,
I
might
try
to
curtail
the
length
of
the
comments,
but
right
now
we
have
the
three
minutes.
I
want
to
be
fair
to
everyone.
I
see
six
hands
raised
at
this
point.
A
A
Who
has
you
know,
had
the
opportunity
to
to
hear
and
may
you
know
have
the
opportunity
to
hear
the
future.
So
I
will
go
ahead
and
read
off
the
names
that
I
see
with
hands
raised
now.
Those
are
sheen
lee
amy,
pang,
helen
yan,
jenny,
meneshi,
stacey,
yao,
cece,
zoe,
eugene,
badourd,
aegean
lee
and
manuela
silvera,
as
well
as
tracy
k
and
joan
shu.
So
the
same
goes
with
our
procedure
for
other
items.
A
R
Hello,
everyone
good
evening,
thank
you
for
hearing
the
parents
voice
to
include
this
topic
in
today's
agenda.
We
really
appreciate
so
similar
to
other
parents
that
we
bought
a
house
here
is
because
the
excellent
school
district
so
like
ragnard
per
the
recent
school
score,
is
the
top
eight
within
more
than
1400
california
public
schools.
So
I
think
it
will
be
such
a
huge
loss
to
the
community
right
to
close
excellent
schools.
R
So
tonight
I
only
want
to
make
one
point:
that
is
the
cusd:
they
decided
to
close
the
school
like
a
ragnar
and
a
mayor
host
in
disregarding
all
the
concerns
and
the
questions
raised
by
the
parents.
So
I
don't
think
those
concerns
and
questions
have
been
properly
addressed.
That's
why
we
request
to
reconsider
the
closure
of
ragnar
and
the
mayor
host
so,
for
example,
the
traffic
concern
since
we
live
at
regular
school
district
and
most
of
the
students
will
move
to
lincoln
right.
R
A
Thank
you
very
much
sheen
and
thank
you
for
setting
that
that
great
succinct
example.
I
have
two
more
names
here:
three
more
names.
After
joan
shu,
we
have
betty
lee
poonam
verma
as
well
as
tess
parish,
and
so
that
will
comprise,
in
addition
to
the
names
that
I
read
previously
the
public
speakers
for
this
item
tonight.
Our
next
speaker
is
amy.
Peng
welcome,
amy,.
N
S
Okay,
so
I
will
keep
this
short
and
sweet.
I
would
really
like
to
urge
the
board
to
to
push
the
csu
board
to
reconsider
what
they've
decided
back
in
october,
because
I
do
feel
it
is
unfair.
I
do
sit
on
multiple
different
parent
boards,
and
one
thing
that
we
didn't
cover
was
that
there
was
a
budget
discrepancy
and
I
believe
the
cusd
needs
to
review
the
budget
correctly,
because
the
financials
look
differently
now
than
it
did
back,
I
believe
in
september
and
october,
and
even
when
the
cac
was
reviewing
it
also.
S
Similarly,
I
would
like
them
to
look
at
the
mobilization
of
enrollment
data,
one
of
the
things
that
we
also
found
as
parents
was
that
there
was
some
manipulation
of
enrollment
and
I
would
like
cusd
to
answer
those
questions.
There
have
been
multiple
parents
who
have
asked
that
question
and
we
have
not
received
an
answer.
It's
been
a
mul,
it's
been
requested
multiple
times
and
similarly
to
the
traffic
study.
My
kids
are
also
going
to
be
pushed
to
lincoln
and
if
you
know
from
ragnar
to
lincoln
anybody
who
lives
in
that
area
will
tell
you.
S
The
traffic
is
extremely
bad
right
now.
It's
not
bad,
obviously,
because
of
copic,
but
as
soon
as
people
start
going
back
to
that
apple
campus
and
go
to
dianza,
it's
going
to
be
horrendous,
and
I
really
would
like
to
urge
the
city
to
ask
the
csd4
to
look
at
the
data
versus
just
making
a
blind
decision.
Thank
you.
T
Hi,
this
is
helen,
thank
you
for
thank
you,
cupertino
city,
giving
this
opportunity
for
parents
to
to
resent
parents
and
represent
the
voters
in
this
district.
I
think
I
echo
whatever
the
parents
just
said
just
now.
The
decisions
he
had
sd
made
was
based
on
information
that
was
not
correct
and
the
information
they
revealed
to
the
parents
was
misleading
and
was
not
telling
the
full
story.
T
Cusd
actually
had
enough
budget
to
support
the
schools,
and
our
schools
are
actually
more
crowded
than
schools
in
other
cities.
All
these
facts
are
not
shared
with
the
public
and
the
cusd
member
just
made
decisions,
regardless
of
I
think
lots
of
parents
showed
up
in
the
meeting
for
meeting
disagreeing
with
the
decision.
So
really,
thank
you
mayor.
Thank
you
board
members.
You
guys
can
stand
up
and
support
us
and,
let's
usb
reconsider
the
decision.
I
think
schools
are
foundation
of
the
community
right.
We
all,
I
think,
all
all
of
us
living
in
cupertino.
T
We
benefit
from
the
good
schools
here
and
neighborhood
school
is
particularly
important
right.
We
want
our
kids
grow
up
together
with
the
neighborhood
kids
having
education
together,
and
we
don't
want
to
send
kids
to
crowded
schools
right.
It's
a,
I
think.
Now
it's
really
a
trend
that
educators
all
know
that
smaller
schools
actually
benefit
kids,
better
right.
Why
why
we
are
closing
our
schools
and
hurting
our
kids?
So
so,
really,
hopefully
like
us,
our
city
board
members
can
help
us
to
voice
the
concerns
and
really
urge
the
cusd
reconsider
their
decision.
Thank
you.
E
E
It
might
be
a
good
thing
for
the
board
to
go
back
and
take
a
look
at
the
new
information,
and
now
that
we
have
moved
the
children
back
into
schools,
things
are
getting
to
more
of
a
normal
state
of
god
willing,
but
I
think
we
have
new
information
about
the
schools
and
I'm
really
really
concerned
that.
I'm
really,
I
have
been
concerned
all
along
about
the
intent
to
possibly
sell
schools
or
to
rent
them
out.
E
U
Oh
oh
hi
and
thank
you
for
city
council
placing
this
item
on
your
agenda
and
I
we
do
appreciate
it
and
actually,
last
week
in
the
cusd
meeting
a
school
board,
members
said
she
don't
think
the
city
should
discuss
this
school
closure
issue
because
she
believes
the
city
shouldn't
interfere
with
the
school
issue,
but
in
our
in
my
eyes
the
school
closure
issue
is
not
only
a
school
issue.
Actually
it's
a
community
issue
and
it
affects
the
traffic,
the
infrastructure
and
may
reshape
our
living
environment
if
they
close
the
school.
U
So
I
do
appreciate
our
city
and
really
give
a
chance
for
our
residents
to
speak
up
and
let
you
know
our
opinion
first.
I
don't
think
this
color
decision
is
reasonable
because
it
was
made
during
pandemic
and
just
as
other
residents
already
mentioned,
we
think
they
should
consider
it
at
least
after
since
go
back
to
normal
and
the
second.
U
Many
parents
already
studied
the
report
on
cosd
official
website
and
they
found
that
the
financial
status
is
really
not
so
bad
and
now
so
maybe
cusd
should
wait
for
next
year
after
they
renew
the
password
tax
and
then
they
can
check
the
school
status.
Maybe
they
will
find
things
will
get
better,
so
we
hope
they
can
reconsider
their.
U
U
U
V
Thank
you,
mayor
paul
and
council
members,
I'm
stacey
yao
the
superintendent
for
cupertino
union
school
districts
and
appreciate
the
opportunity
to
speak
tonight.
On
behalf
of
the
district.
I
would
like
to
address
the
recent
rumors
that
are
circulating
with
our
community
regarding
the
regnard
and
meyerholtz
elementary
school
closures.
V
We
understand
concerns
have
been
raised
and
there
may
be
ongoing
efforts
to
reframe
the
district's
october
2021
decision
to
consolidate
and
close
schools
as
a
hasty
decision
with
insufficient
notice
to
the
community.
Nothing
could
be
further
from
the
truth.
Specific
data
addressing
your
points
of
concern
outlined
in
your
draft
letter,
were
provided
to
the
council
earlier
today
for
your
review
and
can
also
be
found
on
our
website.
V
By
way
of
background.
The
district
has
been
grappling
with
declining
enrollment
at
its
campuses
and
the
associated
financial
impacts
across
the
district
for
many
years
and
has
continued
to
share
and
engage
the
community.
In
the
conversations
in
2017,
the
first
citizens
advisory
committee
was
formed
and
recommended
new
programs
and
strategies
to
increase
enrollment,
to
which
the
district
implemented
in
2019
community
listening
sessions
on
enrollment
trends
and
projections
for
the
district
were
held
in
2020.
The
formation
of
a
second
cac
to
facilitate
engagement
and
input.
This
time,
led
by
a
third
party
neutral
facilitator.
V
The
2020
cac's
final
report
included
among
other
items,
six
possible
closure
scenarios
and
provided
sufficient
information
for
district
staff
to
move
forward
with
a
recommendation
for
school
closures
and
consolidation
in
response
to
community
feedback
and
in
hopes
of
delaying
a
decision
to
close
schools.
The
district
elected
to
pursue
a
parcel
tax
to
generate
additional
revenue
upon
the
failure
of
the
parcel
tax
passing
in
may
of
2021.
V
More
than
five
and
a
half
years
after
convened
the
first
cac
to
invest
in
planning
enrollment
and
in
face
of
a
total
loss
of
four
thousand
nine
hundred
students
from
2015
through
september
of
2021.
The
board
adopted
a
resolution
to
close
the
reagnard
and
meyerhold
school
sites
at
the
end
of
the
21-22
school
year.
While
the
district
can
appreciate
that
some
community
members
are
disappointed
by
the
closure
of
the
school
sites,
any
suggestion
the
board's
decision
was
either
hastily
made
or
ill-informed
is
inaccurate.
V
As
a
sole
elected
body
enforced
with
responsibility
for
public
education
in
the
district,
the
board
understood
the
gravity
of
this
decision
and
made
it
only
after
years
of
deliberation
and
community
input
never
losing
focus
on
doing
what
is
best
for
students.
The
district,
school's
consolidation
and
closure
decision
was
thoroughly
vetted
by
the
board
and
substantiated
with
empirical
evidence.
V
While
the
district
understands
the
importance
of
the
city
council
in
responding
to
the
pleas
of
their
constituents
serving
a
letter
which
has
no
legal
standing,
will
further
divide,
the
community
create
false
hope
and
impede
the
work
necessary
for
the
district
to
focus
on
student
learning.
Thank
you
for
your
time
and
continued
partnership
for
our
student
success.
W
Okay,
great
good
evening,
mayor
darcy
and
mayor
leon
and
all
other
city
university
council,
I
think
right
after
stacy's
statement.
I
have
a
few
things
I
wanted
to
address.
So
first
thing:
first,
we
really
hope
the
cupertino
city
council
could
approve
to
send
a
letter
to
the
usd
school
board
and
ask
them
to
revoke
cusd
resolution
number
21-22-07
and
start
a
motion
to
revoke
so
closing.
W
My
host
in
the
rec
note
will
have
a
long-lasting
negative
impact
on
community
members,
especially
young
people,
so
we
hope
you
can
help
usd
super
board
to
understand
the
importance
of
this
issue
and
urge
them
to
listen
to
the
community's
voice.
We
haven't
had
any
school
closure
in
the
past.
Almost
40
years
city
council
really
mentioned
about
leaving
a
legacy
right.
W
I
can't
agree
more
with
with
him
the
entire
cusd
school
district
community
member
will
thank
you
if
we
can
all
stand
up
for
the
community
and
help
our
kids,
we
have
up
and
downs
in
the
last
40
years,
but
we
stand
together
as
a
community
and
we
overcome
all
kinds
of
difficult
situations.
However,
now
our
district's
financial
status
is
healthier
than
ever.
So
the
latest
report
shows
72
million
dollar
project,
ending
balance
for
2025
2026.
W
At
the
same
time,
if
you
look
at
the
statistics,
if
we
close
all
three
schools,
my
host
ragnar
and
then
john
miura,
then
our
our
school
district
will
have
the
largest
school
body
than
any
other
neighboring
school.
We'll
have
projection
of
like
600
students
in
the
school,
but
for
for
all
the
other
neighboring
schools,
the
average
student
body
is
around
300
to
500..
W
So
we
really
need
to
consider.
Is
that
the
right
thing
to
do,
and
also
the
previous,
I
think
a
community
member
mentioned-
will
be
more
housing
bill
right
once
we
sold
our
property?
What
if
we
have
more
students?
Where
will
be
all
the
students
to
you
know?
Where
could
they
go
so
this
is
a
long-term
impact
issue.
We
cannot
just
rush
this
into.
W
X
This
letter
is
ill-conceived
and
riddled
with
inaccurate
information.
I
urge
you
to
get
the
facts
directly
from
the
communication
submitted
by
nancy
mack
for
sub
superintendent
stacey
yao
earlier
this
evening,
as
well
as
comments
by
j.r
fruin,
who
served
on
the
citizens
advisory
committee.
The
most
recent
one.
X
Now,
let's
step
back
school
consolidation
is
the
is
the
last
resort
for
school
boards.
So
let's
look
at
the
in
at
the
underlying
financials
property
tax
is
the
foundation
for
both
school
district
and
city
revenue,
but
not
all
schools
are
equal.
Unfortunately,
cusd
has
the
lowest
amount
of
property
tax
per
student.
X
X
X
X
It
has
increased
the
tax
base.
However,
the
majority
council
has
missed
opportunities
to
increase
the
cusd
property
tax
space.
I
urge
the
council
to
focus
on
actions
that
fall
within
its
jurisdiction
instead
of
second-guessing
the
very
tough
financial
decisions
that
had
to
be
made
by
our
cusd
school
board.
I
urge
you
to
vote
no
on
this
letter.
Thank
you.
Y
Y
Okay,
if
you
know
we
both
sides
have
a
different
opinion.
Don't
you
think
it's
time
to
hold
down
the
decision?
You
know
to
have
a
two
one
or
two
more
years
to
make
sure
I
mean
I
mean
make
sure
all
I
mean
appending
and
pandemic.
Then
I
mean
impact
will
slow
down
and
you
know
we
can.
We
should
evaluate
the
needs
of
the
closing
school
currency's.
Closing
score
is
really
big:
heavy
impact
for
family
and
the
children
in
cupertino
school
district,
cupertino
school
school
district,
not
just
cupertino
city.
Y
It's
also
include
west
san
jose
now
closing
three
I
mean
school
neighborhood
school
to
expand
one
more
alternative
school
in
western
san
jose.
I
don't
think
that
is
reasonable,
because
now
west
san
jose
has
a
three
alternative
school
on
rainbow
street
on
bollinger
street
will
have
a
terrible
traffic.
Don't
you
think
the
kids
safety
for
those
younger
kids,
most
of
the
younger
kids?
I
mean,
for
example,
like
my
own
host,
you
know,
area.
My
jose
area
has
a
lot
of
apartments.
A
lot
of
kids
have
to
go
to
school,
walk
to
school.
Y
By
their
I
mean
by
their
own.
There
has
no
adults
come.
I
mean
company
with
them
to
walk
to
school.
How
do
you
think
they
can
walk
from
my
house
area
to
dear
words
and
the
whole
traffic
terrible
on
rainbow
street
in
the
morning
and
the
following
year
street
in
the
morning?
How
can
they
handle
to
work
in
a
long
way?
So
please,
especially
council
member
wei,
hong,
please
do
not
speak
in
in
the
tv.
I
mean.
I
mean
news.
Talk
about.
We
you
know
doing.
The
recording
is
just
a
mad.
Y
Z
Hi
good
evening,
and
thank
you
for
allowing
me
to
speak
tonight.
This
is
my
first
time
attending
a
city
council
meeting
and
I'd
like
to
begin
by
thanking
you
all
for
the
breadth
and
depth
of
discussion
around
such
a
vast
range
of
topics.
It's
clear
that
this
group
has
the
best
interest
of
our
city
at
the
forefront.
Z
It
seems
clear
to
me
that
this
questioning
is
being
driven
by
community
members
that
are
unhappy
with
the
decision.
You
are
all
public
servants
and,
as
such,
you
know
that
there
are
moments
in
which
proper
governance
calls
for
difficult
decisions
that
will
not
sit
well
with
all
stakeholders
that
does
not
make
them
incorrect
or
unnecessary.
Z
I
ask
you
to
remember
that
this
is
the
jurisdiction
of
the
cupertino
union
school
district
and
that
the
public
records
show
that
they
have
done
all
of
their
due
diligence
in
this
matter.
Furthermore,
we
are
months
into
a
transition
process
and
any
steps
back
will
cause
much
harm
to
all
of
the
individuals
who
have
already
been
impacted
by
the
decision
and
have
already
organized
themselves
around
the
new
configuration
I'm
talking
about
students,
families,
teachers,
special
education
teams
and
so
forth.
I
urge
you
to
retract
this
letter
and
cease
all
action
in
this
regard.
AA
AA
I
mean
we
have
bond
measure
h,
which
we
spent
six
million
dollars
to
renovate
regnart,
7
million
to
renovate
meyerholtz
5
million
to
renovate
dilworth
8
million
to
renovate
lincoln
nine
million
to
renovate
stevens
creek
and
now
they're
about
to
spend
all
remaining
measure
h.
Funds
on
blue
hills-
that's
13
million
dollars,
but
I
would
like
to
ask:
why
are
we
paying
to
fix
up
schools
just
so
they
can
be
sold.
AA
Our
taxpayer
dollars
are
not
meant
to
help
create
an
attractive
portfolio
of
lease
sites
for
cosd.
They
are
meant
to
create
a
better
learning
and
educational
environment
for
our
students.
If
we,
the
taxpayers,
had
known
that
we
were
paying
hard-earned
money
to
renovate
schools
that
would
either
be
sold
or
considered
for
closure.
We
would
not
have
supported
this
ballot
measure
to
hear
cusd
ask
for
even
more
bond
funding.
AA
After
closing,
our
schools
is
simply
adding
insult
to
injury
and
going
back
to
the
point
about
seeing
money
leave
the
city
of
cupertino
in
an
email
obtained
via
pra
request,
the
cusd
board
named
saratoga
and
los
altos
schools
as
anchor
schools.
What
does
that
make
cupertino
schools?
Second
tier?
Did
we
pay
so
much
in
taxes
to
hear
custe,
insist
that
los
altos
and
saratoga
ballot
support
is
important,
while
they
ignore
the
entire
city
of
cupertino
over
half
its
voter
and
funding
base,
we
also
provide
ballot
support.
AA
How
can
we,
the
residents
of
cupertino,
put
more
into
a
system
that
not
only
takes
our
money
but
subsequently
penalizes
us
by
closing
our
schools
and
redirecting
our
enrollment
and
resources
elsewhere?
We,
the
taxpayers,
paid
for
better
schools
not
to
have
children
crammed
into
overcrowded
schools.
There
are
students
sitting
on
the
floor
at
lunch
because
there
aren't
enough
benches
for
them
to
sit
on
they're
students
that
have
staggered
lunches
and
can't
even
socialize
with
other
grade
levels,
because
their
school
is
too
crowded.
AA
This
is,
quite
frankly,
a
worse
educational
experience
than
the
one
I
grew
up
with
in
cusd
20
to
30
years
ago
and
the
bumper
to
bumper
traffic
in
front
of
lincoln.
Sadly,
many
parents
are
choosing
to
endure
this
traffic
coming
from
ragnar
because
they
just
didn't
want
to
go
to
blue
hills,
which
cusd
didn't
seem
to
take
into
account
which
schools
parents
would
choose
in
their
decision,
leaving
now
one
giant
oversized
lincoln.
That
is
far
away
and
few
parents
want
to
attend
blue
hills.
AA
So
there
is
a
traffic
problem
coming
down
the
line
for
which
the
city
of
cupertino
will
be
responsible,
and
one
last
question:
if
that
many
people
are
opposed
to
this
decision
to
close
schools.
Is
it
the
right
decision,
cupertino
city
council
tonight
we
thank
you
for
your
efforts
in
helping
to
keep
ragnart,
open
and
meyerholtz.
If
this
effort
is
successful,
we
commit
to
partnering
with
the
city
and
cusd
to
help
make
redner
even
more
successful
than
it
was
before.
Thank
you.

According
to
the
school's
bell
schedule,
there
is
a
total
of
eight
lunch
bells
to
accommodate
the
largest
student
body.
The
students
at
school
are
divided
into
four
lunch
groups,
stacked
with
distinct,
start
and
end
bells,
and
the
school
lunch
lasts,
85
minutes
to
walk
around
the
inappropriately
large
number
of
lunch
bells
under
very
long

Hello:
everyone
good
evening,
thank
you
for
the
city
councils
for
bringing
this
item
on
the
agenda
and
listening
to
us
parents.
I
will
make
it
short.
We
moved
into
the
city
of
capertino
last
year
and
our
main
reason
to
move
here
was
to
send
our
kids
to
a
good
school
in
a
nice
and
friendly
neighborhood.
AC
We
were
devastated
to
know
that
our
neighborhood
school
ragnar
was
the
school
to
be
closed.
Regnar
is
a
high
ranking
school
in
the
cupertino
school
district.
I
echo
all
the
same
frustrations
concerns
and
questions
from
a
lot
of
the
ragnar
and
meyerhold's
parents.
We
would
like
you,
our
city
leaders,
to
urge
cusd
to
revisit
its
decision
to
close
the
schools
as
a
cusd
parent.
The
closure
of
ragnar
without
a
reasonable
cause
will
damage
the
reputation
of
the
city
and
the
school
district.
AC

Hello,
thank
you
mayor
vice
mayor
and
city
council
members
for
listening
to
our
concerns
and
asking
cusd
to
reconsider
the
closing
of
regnart
elementary
school
regnal
elementary
school
has
been
closed
for
no
justified
reason.
The
financials
of
cust
are
in
great
shape,
which
do
not
require
any
school
to
be
closed
in
the
district.

A
AE
Thank
you,
and
I
really
appreciate
you
guys,
approving
this
item
on
the
agenda.
I
am
speaking
to
you
as
a
citizen
of
cupertino
and
a
previous
parent
for
maya,
holtz
elementary.
I
I
don't
have
not
studied
the
financials
and
details.
I
have
seen
many
many
threads
going
back
and
forth
pro
and
in
support
and
how
the
board
has
done
everything
they
could
to
do
their
due
diligence
and
really
took
this
in
consideration.
AE
But
in
reading
the
threads
from
what
I
can
tell
the
process
of
of
including
the
parents
has
been
inclu
excluded
and
even
though
they
have
the
from
what
I
could
tell,
of
course,
the
advisory
citizens,
advisory,
commission
or
committee.
I
I
I
don't
haven't
seen
anywhere
where
they
hired
consultants
to
analyze
and
actually
resolve
the
problems
and
in
not
including
the
parents.
It
makes
parents
wonder
what
happened.
Why
is
this
happening?
AE
So,
for
example,
it
was
brought
to
my
attention
that
one
of
the
items
that
they
hired
they
spent
more
money
was
on
lunch
aids.
Yet
here's
a
here's,
this
district,
that
is
hurting
for
money.
They
didn't
ask
the
parents
if
they
wanted
to
cover
those
lunch
spots
like
they
do
at
mcauliffe.
Like
many
other
communities.
Do
they
have
the
parents
cover
some
of
the
lunch
spots?
AE
Were
the
parents
from
what
I
can
tell
were
not
included
in
those
problem-solving
situations,
what
they
did
they
haven't
given
a
full
from
what
I
could
tell
a
full
account
of
what
was
done
to
fi
to
possibly
solve
save
these
schools.
It
just
one
thing
after
another,
for
example,
the
governor
gave
extra
money
to
to
businesses
to
save
the
businesses
they.
AE
He
also
gave
money
to
save
some
schools,
so
the
school
district
has
extra
money
and
it
is
from
what
I
can
tell
not,
including
that
in
their
decision
this
came
later
or
if
they
did
it,
it
makes
the
numbers
look
like
there's
no
justifiable
reason
for
closing
them.
So
whatever
is
going
on,
it
is
definitely
not
clear
to
the
parents.
It
is
not
clear
to
me
what's
happening
and
how
they
selected
the
advisory
citizens.
Commission
is
also
not
clear.
AE
I
know
one
of
the
members
there
doesn't
even
have
children
and
I
think
that's
a
big
point
that
should
be
made.
I
know
meyerholtz
I
heard
was
zoned
for
residential.
Are
they
planning
to
just
sell
it
and
build
more
residence?
Makes
you
just
wonder
what
the
true
motivation
is
for
closing
the
schools
when
all
these
factors
come
into
play
and
it
just
doesn't
make
sense.
Thank
you
very
much
and
please
it's
not
your
jurisdiction.
A
G
G
G
I
highlight
this
in
yellow,
because
this
is
a
paragraph
that
I
will
propose
to
add
to
the
draft
letter
and
the
second
has
this
been
done
in
marin,
county
novato
unified
reversed
their
decision
to
close
schools
in
the
middle
of
the
pandemic.
Their
superintendent
said
our
priority
should
be
on
getting
students
back
to
school
without
the
distracting
of
school
culture
and
their
county
supervisor
said.
G
Csd
keeps
saying
that
they
had
formed
the
citizens
advisory
committee
in
2020..
The
fact
was
that
that
committee
was
not
open
to
the
public
for
to
attend.
In
fact,
the
committee
members
were
in
told
to
not
talk
to
anyone
outside
of
the
committee
during
the
time
they
were
meeting
when
committee
members
was
feeling
guilty
when
she
notified
me
about
the
school
closure.
That's
when
I
first
heard
about
that
and
she
told
me
she
was
not
even
supposed
to
talk
to
me.
So
how
would
the
parents
be
involved
with
this
secret
2020
cs
meeting?
G
Yes,
they
were
public
when
they
recruit
members,
but
once
the
meeting
starts
they
start
meeting,
they
were
told
not
to
talk
to
any
parents,
but
the
education
code
actually
said
that
school
the
school
should
form
a
so-called
7-eleven
committee
that
should
be
governed
by
brown
act
to
collect
facts
before
making
any
decision
true,
so
that
there
will
be
will
be
no
commun
community
conflict.
It's
true
that
it's
not
a
mandatory,
but
it's
a
legitimate
legislative
intent.
G
G
Grievous
and
roman
has
been
much
stronger
than
blue
hills
and
montclair
throughout
the
years
only
until
around
2017-18
after
they
they
they
had
a
2017
cac.
Nothing
was
done,
was
done
for
a
ragnar,
but
the
enrollments
were
not
clear
and
here
miraculously
went
up
while
rip
nuts
and
women
suddenly
went
further
down.
Why
what
was
done
differently
for
these
two
schools?
Was
this
ever
discussed
in
the
board
meeting?
G
No,
they
were
never
discussed
and
the
parents
found
out
that
the
rep,
not
not
only
students
who
would
like
to
enroll
in
her
in
arabic,
were
turned
away.
Tk
were
removed
from
retina
to
put
to
blue
hills,
and
then
you
can
see
that
after
the
pandemic,
recognized
enrollment
was
hit
significantly
and
the
cusd
used
enrollment
data
from
these
two
years
to
make
their
permanent
decision.
G
G
The
peak
was
20
201
20
2013
14.
about
19
000
by
2027.
There
is
a
drop
of
600
students.
There
are
a
lot
of
people
who
are
advertising
about.
Oh
declining
enrollment.
We
were
only
600
students
short
from
the
peak
of
nineteen
thousand
two
hundred.
So
at
that
time
the
main
concern
was
balancing.
Enrollment
between
schools
were
overcrowded
and
according
to
the
capacity
that
in
the
cupertino's
general
plan,
the
ideal
capacity
of
cupertino
is
actually
14
000..
That's
that's!
G
G
G
Okay,
so
all
the
other
neighboring
districts,
cities
have
smaller
schools.
Well,
everyone
have
smaller
300
400
schools.
If
we
continue
to
pack
students
to
have
500
or
more
schools
who
will
move
to
cupertino
cupertino
will
be
will
have
the
biggest
school
that
people
cannot
have
and
then
not.
Quite
the
question
is
with
20
percent
decline
in
enrollment
yeah.
Maybe
we
should
reduce
schools,
but
why
neighborhood
schools
has
there
any
become
any
conversation
on
the
size
and
the
roles
of
alternative
schools
and
their
location?
G
N
G
The
governor
allocated
more
money
to
school,
keep
schools
open,
but
cusd
is
taking
advantage
of
pandemic
to
make
close
your
school
decision
so
that
when
the
parents
cannot
attend
meetings
in
person,
the
parents
cannot
meet
the
board
members
in
person
and
they
have
to
make
this
decision
why,
this
year,
when
the
government
especially
allocated
money,
so
they
can
wait,
so
they
can
focus
on
student
well-being.
First
thank.
H
Oh,
I
usually
don't
write
anything
I
like
to
speak
things
from
my
heart
and
I
do
feel
for
the
parents,
because
they're
moving
here
their
skills
are
closed,
but
they're.
So
I'm
going
to
just
list
three
indisputable
facts
that
nobody
can
dispute.
If
anybody
continues
to
dispute
these
facts-
and
I
think
that's
a
delusion
declining
enrollment
in
custody
is
indisputable.
H
Cop
has
lost
almost
5
000
students
since
25
20,
2015
2016.,
and
it's
predicted
to
lose
another
2
000
or
more
students
in
the
next
few
years.
This
is
cannot
be
disputed.
It's
now
we're
closing
school,
so
we're
losing
students,
we're
losing
students
before
they're
closing
school,
a
major
responsibility
of
the
school
board.
I
was
at
school
for
11
years
four
city
council
members
is
fiscal
assignments
of
the
entire
school
district,
which
includes
six
cities.
This
district's
usb
is
an
excellent
school
district
with
25
schools.
H
It
cannot
sustain
the
current
number
of
schools,
no
school
board.
Members
want
to
consolidate
schools
or
close
with,
unless
absolutely
necessary,
look
at
just
what
they're
being
under
the
attack.
Okay,
nobody
wants
to
do
it.
The
board
has
known,
at
least
in
the
community,
know
about
declining
enrollment
and
the
possible
killing
schools
for
years
at
least
the
last
two
years.
Continuing
to
start
and
seriously
board
did
not
make
this
life.
It
conducted
grounds
of
studies
engaged
citizens
advisory
committee,
which
is
the
equipment
of
the
7
11
committee,
actually
held
multiple
meetings
at
different
school
sites.
H
This
due
diligence
and
transparency
are
fully
documented
as
usd
website
I
mean
they
have
tried.
Okay,
no
school
board
wants
to
close
schools.
That's
it
yes,
seriously
will
likely
transition
into
space
hey.
Just
like
the
school
districts.
That's
mentioned
a
lot
of
students
southwest
students
signing
up
school
business.
Why
do
they
losing
students,
but
not
closing
schools
but
they're
already?
Basically,
it's
most
lower
students
better
for
them,
but
as
usd
it's
not
the
case,
but
seriously
once
they
transition
into
basic
eight
moves.
They
cannot
sustain
25
scores.
Look
at
all.
H
Those
scores
have
fewer
schools
to
maintain,
so
the
board
had
to
make
that
decision
and
look
at
csb
has
25
scores.
What
does
somebody
go
ahead?
10,
schools,
okay,
so
that's
a
fact.
Second
seriously
has
always
been
among
the
lowest
funded
school
district
in
california.
That's
a
history!
It's
a
well-known
fact:
if
anybody
who's
ever
been
a
school
board,
member
or
care
about
public
education,
they
know
that.
H
However
cusd
the
board
and
district
have
always
taken
the
utmost
step
in
applying
its
limited
funding
to
benefit
student
learning,
to
provide
best
education
programs
become
the
best
teachers
cusd
with
the
lowest
funding
has
always
been
the
top
top
school
district
nationwide
seriously
has
always
been
out.
One
of
the
best
schools
is
nationwide.
It
would,
in
the
past,
with
limited
funding.
They
will
continue
to
be
the
best
school
district.
They
have
confidence
in
that
in
the
past
in
and
out
it
will
do
it
in
the
future.
So
that's
school
consolidation.
H
Really
nobody
wants
to
do
it.
Just
look
at
what
these
group
members
are
being
treated
okay,
so
now,
in
october,
21st
the
series
before
made
that
basic,
responsible,
well-researched
and
courageous
decision
from
solidarity
schools,
knowing
that
this
is
not
a
popular
decision,
and
why
didn't
they
just
say:
let's
take
the
gang-
can
get
on
the
board.
Let's
use
the
one-time
money,
let's
not
close.
Schools?
Why?
H
Because
this
board
knows
that
it's
the
us
most,
the
utmost
responsibility
for
any
governing
board
is
to
apply
that
limited
funding
to
programs
and
resources
for
teaching
and
learning
to
ensure
cusd
continues
to
offer
the
best
education
for
all
students.
The
district
has
moved
in
october
to
implement
parent
choices
for
all
affected
students.
School
consolidation
has
been
in
purpose
for
months
board.
President
sakesh
explained
this
clearly
in
his
letter,
I'm
quoting
his
words.
The
district
has
begun
implementation
of
the
closing
schools
and
working
with
families
and
staff
for
the
transition
continuously.
H
Reopening
final
decisions
would
prevent
the
district
from
reaching
new
businesses
and
the
district
on
implementing
directions.
Now,
I'm
calling
to
community
members
and
parents
it's
time
to
move
forward,
to
support
parents
student
transition
to
support
your
local
schools
and
seriously
will
continue
to
be
one
of
the
best
school
districts
nationwide.
Now.
My
third
point:
it's
all
about
us
this
proposed
letter.
Yes,
it
has
the
points
that
you
can.
H
You
can
translate
you,
can
you
can
make
it
to
fit
what
you
desire
to
be,
but
does
this
council
really
want
to
go
down
the
record
and
supporting
this?
Knowing
that
the
media
is
watching
become
other
communities
are
watching?
We
are
doing
something,
that's
not
we
want
to
collaborate,
we
want
to
solve
traffic
issues.
We
will
help
seriously
students
and
parents
to
be
safe,
but
it
is
not
our
place
to
dispute
the
facts
and
what
seriously
board
and
district
have
done
and
put
them
under
the
bus.
This
is
not
the
way
to
do
it.
H
This
is
a
long
process
carefully
considered.
It
is
guided
by
school
code
and
legal
consent.
It
is
throughout
through
and
through
they
did
a
great
job.
So
it
is
up
to
the
elected
series
before
to
make
that
decision.
What's
the
best
for
their
school
district.
Yes,
we
can
always
say
you
should
do
this.
You
should
do
that.
You
should
lose
the
one-time
money,
don't
close
the
schools,
but
it
is
not
we're
not
elected
by
the
russians
by
the
public
to
govern
cusd
school
board
trust
their
decision.
H
They
have
their
best
students,
the
best
interest
of
their
students
and
school
district
in
mind.
School
excellence.
Cusd
will
always
maintain
they've
been
always
still
regarded
with
lower
the
lowest
funding.
Yes,
but
they've
been
the
best
school
nationwide.
You
cannot
dispute
cusb
runs
well,
there's
no
weakness.
No
way
we
should
criticize
them.
It
is
not
up
to
preventive
city
council,
the
second
best
cusd
boards
decision.
They
are
elected
officials
too,
but
it's
three
two
four
one:
five:
zero:
it
is
their
decision
to
make.
H
I'm
okay,
individual
council
members,
please
send
your
letters,
talk
to
csd
board
protest,
saying
that
if
I
was
google
member,
this
is
not
what
I'm
gonna
do,
but
do
it
on
your
own
report
represent
yourself
because
your
decision
represents
yourself,
you're
knowledgeable,
you
can
do
what
you
want
to
do.
You
can
alternative
matters,
that's
fine,
but
it
does
not
represent
the
council.
It
does
not
represent
all
our
wrestlers.
We
have
65
or
maybe
maybe
a
little
bit
less
than
65
000
yesterdays.
H
Now,
okay
and
it
does
not
represent
me,
I
love
our
schools
and
I
love
our
friends
when
I
was
at
school.
Remember
for
11
years
I
can
probably
say
I
never
never
let
one
email
sit.
I
always
return
parents
email
meet
them
in
person,
talk
to
them
understand
them,
but
that
does
not
mean
I
don't.
We
don't
try
to
make
courageous
decisions
for
the
benefit
of
our
students.
H
The
board
did
made
a
very
courageous
decision,
because
it's
a
lower
enrollment
in
limbo,
high
school,
we
have
a
thousand
parents
came
to
us
for
me,
but
what
we
do
is
limbo
is
a
great
school
now
still
it's
before,
and
still
now
we're
gonna
go
through
this
turmoil.
Our
heart
is
parents,
but
we
need
to
this
is
the
time
to
get
together
and
help
your
school
district
help
your
school,
make
that
school
your
school
put
your
energy
and
make
your
kids
education
excellent.
This
is
not
the
time
to
divide
continue
to
divide.
H
It
seriously
has
already
made
the
decisions.
It
is
really
not
the
time
according
to
president
satish,
who
voted
against
this,
that
he
knows
that
this
is
the
right
thing
to
do,
and
I
have
my
admiration
for
you.
As
for
funding
one,
if
you
know
school
fund,
you
know
one
time,
funding
cannot
be
calculated
into
ongoing
funding
parcel
tax.
To
spell
the
possibility,
can
we
guarantee
the
third
one
will
pass?
H
We
cannot
if
the
school
district
goes
bankrupt,
the
consequences
are
direct
seriously
board
and
the
district
are
doing
their
best
really
to
make
sure
education
excellence
continues
to
begin
university.
We
are
here
to
support
them.
How
can
we
have
the
issues?
Yes,
how
can
we
help
the
kids
to
walk
to
school
back
to
school?
Yes,
but
not
to
send
this
letter?
This
letter
does
not
represent
future
peanut,
that's
not
rather
than
the
different
dressing.
It
could
represent
your
own
opinion,
send
it
as
much
as
you
like.
It
does
not
represent
me.
I
love
the
district.
H
I
love
my
community,
I
and
all
of
us
who
hope
to
bring
women
scrutiny
past
this.
As
for
employing
enrollment,
we
can
build
housing
now,
but
they're
not
going
to
come
he's
going
to
become
the
five
cities
we're
going
to
see
housing
declining
enrollment
is
a
fact.
This
cannot
be
disputed.
Cad
made
a
courageous
decision
to
not
put
one-time
money
in
to
maintain
a
school
for
another
one
or
two
years.
H
H
You
know
I
I
went
off
my
script
now
already,
because
I
always
want
to
talk
to
my
partner.
Okay,
our
heart
are
together.
I
know
vice
mayor
chill
means
real,
everybody
means
girl,
all
the
parents
need
stuff,
but
this
is
not
the
time
to
divide
it.
This
is
time
to
get
together,
make
sure
we
provide
education
excellence
to
our
students.
P
P
P
P
P
N
P
P
Until
I
hear
everything
that
is
out
there,
I'm
going
to
do
my
damnedest
to
make
sure
that
I
get
the
answers
for
the
residents
that
are
asking
questions
eve.
We
make
a
decision
whether
it's
ragnar
creek
talk
talk
our
our
community.
How
many
times
has
regnar
crete
come
back
to
our
council
for
additional
issues
that
the
community
has
raised,
we're
not
shutting
them
out.
P
P
I
do
think
we
should
send
a
letter
to
them.
That
indicates
the
standard
that
we
hold
ourselves
accountable
for
in
our
community
and
that
what
we're
hearing
from
the
community,
I
don't
hear
from
the
community
with
respect
to
our
agenda
items
even
on
the
even
on
the
the
controversial
ones
like
gregnar
creek,.
P
We
we
go
till
two
three
o'clock
in
the
morning
if
we
have
to
and
continue
it
so
I
think
that
would
be
the
appropriate
letter
to
cosd
tell
them.
We
feel
they
should
be
listening,
better
communicating
better
with
the
rest
and
hopefully
trying
to
get
a
consensus,
a
better
consensus
when
making
those
critical
decisions
to
our
community
and
I'll
leave
it
at
that.
It's
it's
a
sad
situation
school.
These
are
sad.
A
K
Thank
you,
mayor
paul.
I
am
sorry
that
cusd
found
themselves
in
this
difficult
situation
and
that
this
was
brought
to
cupertino
council,
as
if
we
are
auditors
and
better
stewards
of
cusd
than
their
own
elected
officials.
I
would
like
to
hear
from
our
city
attorney
and
our
city
manager
to
weigh
in
because
we
did
not
actually
receive
a
proper
staff
report.
K
B
B
I
you
know.
I
think
this
is
a
one
of
those
areas
that
that
a
city
is
responsible
for
the
city
side.
In
my
opinion,
since
I've
been
asked
versus
the
school
district,
but
it
is
a
council
decision,
I
think
there's
been
a
good
discussion
on
it.
I
know
I
can
see
from
the
council
right
now.
There's
definitely
two
sides
of
the
coin
that
they're,
both
speaking
of
so
I
don't
know
chris.
If
you
have
any.
B
AE
AF
Mean
I'll
just
try
to
respond
directly
to
council
member
moore's
questions,
so
it
is
consistent
with
culture
with
council's
adopted
policies
that
if
two
council
members
request
an
item,
be
agendized,
it's
put
on
the
agenda,
so
so
so
that
was
done
by
the
city
manager
in
consultation
with
the
mayor
there
is,
there
is
a
and
then
you
know,
and-
and
we
presented
a
letter
that
that
advice-
the
vice
mayor
provided
to
for
inclusion
in
the
agenda
there.
There
is
no
council
policy
around
council
submission
of
agenda.
B
I
can
add
one
more
here
is,
since
I
was
asked
the
the
way
the
budget
works
for
a
school
district
is
so
much
different
from
the
city's
budget.
It's
very
formula
driven
again,
I
haven't
looked
at
their
budget.
I
don't
know
anything
about
it,
but
I
do
know
that
it's
nothing
similar
to
a
city's
budget
on
how
they
calculate
everything,
and
so,
if
they're,
putting
forth
the
numbers
that
say
the
funds
are
down
they
have
to.
B
With
a
third
party
who
looks
at
those
enrollment
figures
and
if
they're
showing
that
downward
trend,
they
have
to
take
that
into
account
when
they're
sending
it
off
to
the
state
for
their
budget,
and
they
do
have
to
look
out
prospectively,
not
just
currently
that
will
go
forward
to
see
about
the
budget.
So
it
is
a
very
different
process
and
I'm
not
sure
if
everybody
is
aware
of
that
not
just
on
council,
but
I
mean
in
general,
that's
not
the
same
as
a
city
record.
A
A
A
You
okay
well,
thank
you
councilmember
willie.
I
appreciate
that
and
you
know,
without
any
further
movement
forward
on
this
as
a
motion,
then
I
will
go
ahead
and
and
make
a
few
comments
I
you
know
I
did
have
a
brief
conversation
with
the
superintendent.
Yesterday
we
had
been,
you
know,
playing
some
phone
tag
for
about
a
week
just
trying
to
catch
up
with
each
other
on
this
issue,
but
I
you
know,
there's
nothing
that
I
can't
disclose.
A
You
know
I'm
similar
to
councilmember
willie,
a
parent
in
the
school
district.
I
have
a
first
grader
and
a
fourth
grader
over
at
meyerholtz
in
the
language
immersion
program,
and
so
they
will
be
affected.
You
know
people
have
talked
about.
You
know
the
fact
that
the
clip
program
is
going
to
a
different
school
and
you
know
expanding
in
a
manner
of
speaking.
A
I
mean
you
know
my
my
personal
preference
is
actually
to
have
my
kids
more
in
an
environment
that
is
similar
to
a
neighborhood
school
frankly,
but
I
also
you
know,
value
the
opportunity
that
this
particular
program
provides,
and
so
you
know
that's
just
on
on
a
personal
note
in
terms
of
in
terms
of
how
I
think
you
know
the
the
stewardship
of
the
district
is
going.
I
I
just
have
to
say
it's
it's
very
difficult
right,
I
mean
as
a
parent.
I
listened
to
several
of
the
mid
pandemic
meetings.
A
You
know
cusd
and
its
board
has
a
tough
job.
I
mean
just
like
you
know,
every
other
elected
body.
You
know
in
this
country
right
now
and
for
the
last
couple
of
years,
but
particularly
you
know
the
school
districts
there
there
you
know,
are
always
a
a
number
of
various
tensions
at
play,
but
you
know
when
you're
dealing
with
people
and
their
their
children
and
the
well-being
of
their
kids,
the
education
of
their
kids.
A
It's
it's
a
really
a
really
difficult
task,
so
you
know
I
truly
respect
the
amount
of
time
and
effort
that
goes
into
those
decisions.
I
you
know,
I
would
just
say,
and
I'm
aligned
with
council
member
willie
here.
I
really
appreciate
his
sense
of
consensus
and
I
really
think
that
this
kind
of
a
letter
you
know,
probably
should
be
sent
with
a
consensus
on
a
council.
You.
A
A
A
I
really
question
whether
there
does
stand
a
chance
to
be
able
to
do
what's
best
for
the
district
financially
in
the
future.
With
regard
to
being
able
to
say
to
yourself
well
from
a
statistical
perspective,
because
you
know
a
lot
of
people
are
talking
about
numbers
these
days
and
for
this
particular
issue.
You
know
it's,
it's
tough.
You
know
you
know
these
types
of
ballot
measures
they
they
need
to
be.
A
You
know
generally
supported,
so
you
know,
I
see
it
from
the
elect
electoral
perspective
and
go
you
know
as
a
parent
in
the
district.
You
know
what
would
be
best
for
my
kids
to
make
sure
that
the
district
is
sufficiently
funded.
So
when
I
take
a
look
at
this,
I
really
look
at
it
from
the
practical
perspective
of
you
know
from
a
broad-based,
you
know
viewpoint
what
what
what
is
really
best
for
the
the
stewardship
of
the
district.
A
Are
you
talking
about
saving
a
certain
amount
of
money,
closing
a
school
versus
the
amount
of
money
that
could
be
raised
with
a
bond
measure
or
further
parcel
tax?
I
I
think
those
numbers
one
dwarfs
the
other.
You
know
frankly,
and
so
you
know
I
I
I
do
respect
the
you
know
the
challenges
of
another
jurisdiction,
but
I
do
agree
with
the
fact
that
you
know
the
schools
are
in
our
jurisdiction.
You
know
we
have
a
lot
of
residents
affected
by
this,
and
a
lot
of
people
are
asking
us
to
consider.
A
I
would
ask
that
the
you
know
school
board
examined
this
and
you
know
take
a
more
holistic
approach
to
whether
this
makes
sense.
You
know
the
one
of
the
things
I
will
say.
You
know
we
as
a
council,
you
know,
get
hammered
and
hammered
and
hammered,
and
a
lot
of
it
is
by
development
interests
where
they
kind
of
provide
a
bit
of
a
paradoxical.
A
You
know
story
where
they
basically
say.
Well,
you
should
you
should
put
more
housing
in,
but
a
lot
of
people
advocate
for
more
housing
within
the
context
of
putting
in
so
many
more
squares
of
other
uses
that
require
even
more
housing
than
the
amount
of
housing
that
we're
putting
in,
and
so
you
know
when,
when
you
have
that
kind
of
backdrop-
and
you
have
people
accusing
us
of
saying
well
you're
the
fault
of
why
our
schools
are
not
sufficient,
eventually
funded,
you
know
what
they.
A
What
they
neglect
to
tell
you
is
that
you
know
one
of
the
repercussions
of
in
school
enrollment
is
a
transition
to
basic
aid,
and
what
does
that
mean
financially?
Well,
that
means
on
a
per
pupil.
You
know
basis,
your
amount
of
funding
is
going
to
go
up
and
you
know
it's
something
that
people
don't
really
talk
about.
The
other
thing
that
they
don't
talk
about
is
the
pressures
from
the
employment
base.
A
A
I
think
that
if
there
could
be
some
reciprocity
in
those
types
of
understandings,
we'd
probably
be
in
a
collectively
better
place,
but
at
the
end
of
it
you
know
I
would
tend
to
strongly
encourage
a
re-examination
of
the
possibilities
here.
Very
respectfully,
you
know,
and
this
is
not
a
demand
if
you
actually
read
the
letter
it
is,
it
is
very
respectfully
couched
as
something
for
asking
for
reconsideration.
A
It
doesn't
say
you
must
do
this
because
of
x,
y
and
z,
and
so
you
know
at
the
end
of
it
I
think
we're
all
one
community
and
we
all
want
to
be
able
to
make
sure
that
you
know
our
students
do
well,
and
that
are
you
know.
Community
members
are
are
all
actualizing
to
an
optimum
degree,
and
I
think
you
know
just
from
my
my
perspective
of
things
you
know.
Ultimately,
if
we
all
pull
together,
we
can
get
that
funding
done.
A
But
I
I
question
in
this
kind
of
situation
where
you
know
I
have
examined
the
finances.
I
I
do
question
in
this
situation
whether
it
is
truly
necessary
at
this
time.
At
this
point,
and-
and
you
know,
another
thing
I
want
to
say
is
that
when
that
parcel
tax
didn't
pass,
you
know
and
then
immediately
the
conversation
still
made
pandemic
became
a
matter
of
well,
you
got
to
close
these
schools,
I
kind
of
wonder
you
know
you
know
it
just
it
feels
like
it
feels
like
a
message.
A
You
know
honestly,
I
mean
so
we
can't.
We
can't
delay
this
a
year.
You
know
past
when
you
know
we're
all
beyond
this
and
we're
reopening
again.
So
you
know
these
are
concerns
that
I
think
are
not
necessarily
limited.
You
know
to
this
context
of
schools
within
this
community.
I
I
do
I.
I
think
people
really
need
to
make
a
particular
self-examination
when
they
approach
our
community
and
ask
themselves.
Why
are
you
treating
us
like
you
treat
us,
you
know,
and
you
know
I
say
that
from
the
bottom
of
my
heart
as
well.
A
You
know,
as
someone
who
you
know
in
his
late
30s,
you
know
dedicated
a
lot
of
time
to
making
sure
that
our
community
can
can
continue
and
grow
and
be
successful
together
and
help
others
as
well
so
yeah.
No,
I
won't
be
seconding
a
a
motion
at
this
time.
Councilmember
willie
has
convinced,
I
think,
very
accurately
that
we
don't
have
consensus
on
this
one,
but
I
I
think
our
sentiments
have
been
set
across.
A
I
mean
I
honestly
think
that
all
of
us,
you
know
each
and
every
one
of
us
wants
what's
best
for
our
students
in
the
district,
and
hopefully
you
know
these
sentiments
can
be.
You
know
absorbed,
and
I
know
I
know
that
they
can.
You
know
we
don't
need
a
definitive
kind
of,
like
you
know,
kind
of
a
prize
of
a
letter
to
you
know
kind
of
shove
into
someone's
face.
I
I
think
we
have
very
intelligent
people
that
can
understand
you
know
what's
being
communicated
here.
A
Vice
mayor
ciao,
you
have
your
hand
raised,
and
so
I'm
going
to
ask
that
we
wrap
we're
actually
doing
pretty
reasonably
well
in
time
with
regard
to
the
ability
to
get
done
by
midnight,
we're
in
fact
a
little
bit
ahead
of
the
projected
schedule.
When
you
take
a
look
at
all
the
items
that
we
have
on
here
and
what
their
estimated
times
were
initially,
but
vice
mayor,
you
know,
since
you
and
councilman
willie
did
set
this
forth.
G
AF
G
So
what
if
we
change
this
letter
to
say
that
we
we
are
not
asking
to
reconsider,
but
we
would
like
to
be
informed
ahead
of
time
before
this
kind
of
any
school
culture
or
change
of
youth
property
use.
This
itching
is
put
before
the
board
so
that
the
city
has
a
chance
to
commit,
and
so
does
that
make
sense
to
make
that
kind
of
request
to
a
school
district.
AF
AF
A
Let
me
speak
to
that
first,
chris,
you
know
we
do
have
a
couple
of.
We
do
have
a
couple
of
council
members
that
are
on
a
committee
that
interfaces
with
our
school
districts,
and
so
you
know
I
I
can
see
easily
that
work
going
and-
and
you
know,
producing
producing
a
deliverable
that
you
know
talks
about
the
communication
process
and
the
workflow.
Certainly
I
mean
I,
I
don't
think
that
it's
you
know
an
appropriate
subject
of
tonight's
discussion
because
it
requires
more
of
a
you
know,
thought
out.
A
G
Also
yeah,
thank
you
and
also
another.
Another
fact
I
think
the
cusd
can
continues
to
misstate
is
that
school
closure
was
never
put
on
the
board
agenda
until
july
2020..
They
did
have
a
listening
tour
in
2019
in
january
2020.
The
board
had
discussed
what
they
reflected
on
what
they
have
heard,
and
then
the
consensus
at
that
time
was
to
not
close
any
schools,
so
their
initial
charge
for
the
2020
cac
was
simply
to
explore
options
and
the
school
closure
was
on
the
february
13th
meeting
of
2020.
G
G
G
No,
I
actually
I'm
requesting
I.
I
am
making
a
motion
to
write
draft
a
letter.
Maybe
we
can
have
a
subcommittee
to
draft
a
letter
to
this
effect
to
the
two
cosds
as
a
council,
and
because
that
part
that
2x2
committee
is
very
informal
and
that
2x2
committee,
I
don't
think
they
were
informed
either
and
even
if
they
were
in
from
there,
there
is
yeah.
I
would
like
to
have
a
formulator
that
will
request
the
city
to
be
informed
for
future
decisions,
so
we
can
provide
comments.
A
P
To
comment,
I
would
be
willing
to
second
it
if
I
heard
positive
support
from
councilman,
moore
and
councilman
way.
I
do
think
we
need
consensus,
a
dialogue,
an
understanding
of
dialogue
between
the
city,
council
and
cusd
to
me
sounds
like
you
know,
something
that
I
would
have
expected
it
to
occur
and
the
fact
that
it
didn't
occur.
P
H
H
A
You
know
I,
I
appreciate
your
position
and
you
know
yeah,
I
I
don't
think
we're
going
to
get
anywhere
with
regard
to
where
councilmember
will
be
saying.
So,
let's
just
cut
that
short,
and
you
know,
let's
not
belabor,
that
point
councilmember
moore,
are
you
in
a
similar
situation,
perspective
wise
as
councilmember
way?
With
regard
to
the
motion?
That's
currently
brought
forth
by
vice
mayor
chow.
K
A
Okay,
thanks
councilmember
moore,
so
so
so,
if
I
understood
you
correctly,
councilmember
willie,
you
will
not
be
seconding
because
of
the
reservations
expressed
by
council
members
way
and
more,
and
so
you
know
we're
left
at
the
original
point
here.
I
do.
You
know
suggest
that
the
committee
assignees,
you
know,
go
forward
and
I
will
commit
to
you
that
if
we
have,
you
know
good
progress
with
regard
to
you
know
some
workflow
and
you
know
communication
mechanisms.
I
I've
always
been
about
making
sure
that
we
have.
A
You
know
the
that
good
line
of
communication
with
our
school
districts.
So
with
that
you
know,
I
will
also
say
that
I
think
this
is.
You
know,
part
and
parcel
of
a
great.
You
know
type
of
communication,
so
you
know
really
job
well
done
there.
We
have
about
half
an
hour
left
and
we
have
one
agenda
item
remaining
as
well.
So
I
would
like
to
turn
our
attention
to
that.
Having
no
motion
on
the
table
for
item
number
12,
let
us
go
to
item
number
13..
A
The
subject
for
item
number
13
is
to
consider
a
report
on
the
chamber
of
commerce,
services
and
payment
included
in
the
accounts
payable
report
ending
december
20th
2021
and
to
further
consider
the
approval
of
the
accounts
payable
report
from
which
the
chamber
of
commerce
services
and
payment
item
is
pulled
here.
So
let
us
go
to
our
city,
staff,
member
and
so
city
manager,
troop
I'll,
go
ahead
and
go
straight
to
tina
kapoor
our
economic
development
manager.
AG
AG
AG
So
looking
at
the
city
and
chamber
relationship,
the
chamber
really
has
historically,
and
we
will
talk
about
this
in
detail.
In
just
a
moment,
the
chamber
has
been
an
extension
of
the
economic
development
for
the
city
and
they've
been
the
lead
outreach
arm
for
the
city
during
good
and
bad
economic
times,
as
well
as
a
service
delivery
conduit
between
the
city
and
cupertino
businesses.
AG
In
addition,
the
chamber
has
served
as
an
important
feedback
mechanism
to
understand
business
constituents
needs
and
concerns
as
new
policies,
programs
and
changes
and
economic
conditions
develop.
Whenever
we're
looking
at
any
programmatic
or
policy
changes.
For
example,
a
chamber
is
a
great
vehicle
for
us
to
go
to
to
really
get
the
feedback
from
business
constituents
in
terms
of
concerns
or
recommendations
or
opportunities
that
they
see.
That
can
help
inform
our
thinking
and
with
close
to
300
members
strong.
That
covers
a
wide
variety
of
businesses.
AG
So
as
we
talk
about
the
specific
services,
the
chamber
did
provide
a
letter
that
was
dated
march
1st
of
2022,
which
is
included
in
the
agenda
packet
for
this
item.
Along
with
the
staff
report,
this
letter
outlines
in
detail
the
services
that
the
chamber
provides
and
the
two
objectives
that
we
just
talked
about
right.
One,
the
feedback
mechanism
and
two
information
dissemination
are
presented
in
that
letter.
AG
AG
A
Okay,
thank
you
very
much
tina
I'll
go
over
to
our
members
of
the
public.
That
would
like
to
speak
on
item
number
13.
I'll,
remind
everyone
we're
on
item
13

and
so,

you

your

another
item,

and
so
our
first
hand
raised
is
from
aegean
lee
aegean
you'll
have
three
minutes
and

other
members
of
the
public.
If
you'd
like
to
speak
on
this
you'll
need
to
have
your
hand
raised
by
the
time.
Our
first
speaker
is
done,
so

Majin.
A
Okay,
I'm
gonna
mute
you,
okay,
so
I'm
gonna
remind
everyone
again
that
this
is
item
number
13
and
so

other
members

item
number
13,
please

your
hand
by
the
time
that
leanna
is
done.
Speaking
welcome,
leanna.
AH
Good
evening,
council
and
staff,
thank
you
for
your
consideration
of
this
item.
I
appreciate
the
staff
presentation
sort
of
I
guess
in
the
spirit
of
the
the
ceremonial
item
today,
of
sort
of
understanding
how
our
tax
dollars
are
spent
and
and
the
pers
processes
that
go
along
with
the
allocation
of
city
funds.
I
have
some
questions
about
this
arrangement
that
we
have
with
the
chamber.
I
sent
my
questions
this
evening.
AH
I
fully
expect
no
one's
had
any
chance
to
even
see
that
email,
so
I'm
just
gonna
quickly
go
through,
and
hopefully
some
of
these
items
can
be
addressed
this
evening.
So
one
of
the
items
in
the
staff
report
stated
that
there
were
just
there
were,
I
guess,
six
cities
that
don't
have
formal
agreements
with
their
chambers.
You
know
the
the
various
chamber
organizations
within
their
communities,
but
I
I
noticed
that
of
those
six,
and
this
was
just
you
know
my
observation.
AH
I
have
a
question
about
a
memorandum
of
understanding,
which
is,
I
guess,
the
recommended
staff
option
and
I'm
wondering
what
is
the
the
authority
of
a
memorandum
of
understanding
who
signs
that
document
and
who?
Who
who
is
authorized
to
agree
to
that
document?
Does
that
go
through
the
mayor
and
the
council
or
is
it
strictly
staff?
AH
It's
it's
referenced
specifically
in
my
email,
but
it
was
a
payment
to
the
chamber
of
commerce
of
about
twenty
five
thousand
dollars
and
the
description
is
website
hosting
database
subscription
and
website
design
of
twenty
five
thousand
dollars.
I'm
wondering
was
there
a
formal
agreement
for
for
that
action,
and
then
you
know
what
was
that
was
this
actually
the
I
love
cupertino
website
and
it,
and
I
love
cupertino
website
at
just
one
point.
AH
One
thing
that
you
can
do
on
that
website
is
buy
an
e-gift
card
and
which
is
a
great
idea,
spend
money
in
cupertino.
The
one
question
I
have,
though,
is
is
that
limited
the
participating
businesses
are?
Are
they
only
chamber
businesses
that
get
to
participate,
which
seems
like
I
don't
want
to
make
assumptions,
but
it
seems
like
that
might
be
kind
of
like
cross
purposes.
A
F
F
I
went
back
and
looked
at
accounts
payable
and
I
found
references
to
a
contract
all
the
way
back
to
2006,
but
there's
no
contract.
I
looked
for
a
contract
and
could
not
find
it
yet.
Every
entry
in
the
accounts
payable
says
first
installment,
second
installment
of
a
contract,
so
I
think
that
a
contract
should
be
written
formalized
and
the
expected
deliverables
should
be
listed.
F
There
was
25
thousand
dollars
for
the
development,
but
there's
an
ongoing
fee,
for
it
looks
like
maybe
hosting,
but
there's
nothing
written
on
that
so
and
it
wasn't
mentioned
so
that
ought
to
be
included
in
this
contract
and
the
price
is
stated.
I
I
do
believe
that
the
city
and
the
chamber
of
commerce
should
have
a
good
working
relationship,
but
I
think
that
a
good
working
relationship
is
based
on
clear,
a
clear
understanding
of
what's
expected
and
a
contract.
Does
that?
F
F
AI
Okay,
thank
you
mayor
and
city
council
yeah
I'll
be
short.
I
just
wanted
the
city
attorney
to
explain
whether
an
mou
is
sufficient
for
a
city
to
be
giving
money
to
an
outside
agency,
because
I
seem
to
remember
that
when
I
was
on
council,
we
could
not
spend
money
without
some
kind
of
contract
being
executed.
That
goes
beyond
just
a
memory.
AI
Memorandum
of
understanding,
so
I
wonder,
has
there
ever
been
a
contract
with
the
chamber
in
the
past
and
if
not,
how
was
it
possible
that
the
city
was
providing
them
with
money
and
if,
but
they
shouldn't
have
been,
you
know
what
recourses
the
city
have
for
past
expenditures.
So
thank
you.
I'm
done.
N
A
K
I'm
sure
thank
you,
mayor
paul,
so
my
tally,
going
back
is
approximately
350
000
without
a
contract.
So
I
would
like
to
hear
the
the
response
from
the
city
attorney
about
giving
money
to
an
entity
without
having
a
contract.
Is
that
considered
a
gift
of
public
funds,
and
is
that
something
the
city's
allowed
to
do?
AF
K
N
AF
No,
I
yes
yeah.
May
I
am
here.
Thank
you.
Yes
of
course.
So,
no,
so
it's
absolutely
not
a
gift
of
public
fund.
A
gift
of
public
funds
occurs
when
there's
an
expenditure
of
of
money
without
any
public
purpose,
and
here
the
chamber
has
been
providing
services
to
the
city.
I
I
think
I
think
the
question
is
whether
there
was
a
written
contract
and
it
appears
based
on
our
research.
There
was
not.
K
K
As
far
as
I
know,
and
so,
how
is
it
that
the
chamber
of
commerce
ended
up
receiving
money
to
create
a
website,
as
opposed
to
our
own
I.t
department,
or
you
know
who
was
who
was
running
this
this
this
project
like
who
who
was
responsible
for
sending
the
money
there?
How
is
it
that
that
staff
in
the
finance
department
signed
off
on
these
checks
without
seeing
where,
where
there
was
an
agreement
that
so
that
they
could
assign
that
payment
to?
So
who?
Who
can
give
me
some
answers
to
that?.
A
Well,
I
do
see
that
you
know,
in
addition
to
our
staff,
member
and
city
manager.
We
have
representatives
from
the
chamber
of
commerce
here.
Welcome
board
president
claudia
bono
as
well
as
director
of
communications,
rick
kittson,
would
either
tina
jim
claudia
rick
like
to
speak
to
that.
With
regard
to
the
I
love
cupertino
website,
I
think
it
might
predate
some
of
you,
particularly
our
our.
AD
B
Thank
you
mayor.
I'm
just
gonna
say
that
that
predates
a
number
of
us
here
and
we'll
have
to
go
and
research
that
item
in
itself,
not
that
it
makes
anybody
feel
better.
I'm
not
saying
it's
appropriate,
but
the
different
cities
I've
been
in.
We
always
have
found
contracts
that
might
be
out
of
date,
and
so
that's
our
goal
is
to
fix
it
just
like
this
one,
so
how
it
happened
and
why
it
happened.
K
Yes,
I
I
seriously
have
a
problem
with
our
finance
department,
allowing
the
accounts
payable
statements
to
say
to
us
first
installment
of
the
annual
contract
of
the
city
of
cupertino,
because
what
what
does
that
mean?
When
I
pick
up
that
accounts
payable
statement,
I
see
there's
a
contract,
and
so
I'm
happy
I
move
on.
K
So
I
didn't
like
seeing
that
when
I
wanted
to
know
what
was
in
the
contract
that
there
isn't
one,
not
only
there
isn't
one,
but
there
hasn't
been
one
for
at
least
since
2004..
How
does
how
does
all
of
these
finance
department
individuals
allow
this
to
say
that
without
having
any
documents
to
back
it
up?
How
does
that
happen?
K
K
K
Two,
oh
four,
I
mean
honestly
I'd
like
I'd
like
to
have
an
accounting
going
back,
let's,
let's
say
to
2015
2015
to
the
present
everything
that
all
the
all
of
the
the
accounts
payable
that
went
to
the
chamber
of
commerce
along
with,
if
there
were
any
beneficial
uses
of
city
facilities
at
memorial
park,
for
instance,
where
the
fees
were
waived,
perhaps
for
a
festival.
Anything
like
that.
K
Leadership
really
needed
to
get
on
top
of
this,
and
you
know,
and
I'm
concerned
moving
forward
because
we're
trying
to
put
things
together
with
the
new
economic
development
manager
and
put
together
a
a
real
economic
development
committee
with
a
with
its
with
the
ordinance.
You
know,
code
backing
it
up
that
we
haven't
had
and
without
having
a
good
understanding
of
what's
gone
on
in
this
history.
I
think
moving
forward.
K
We
can
repeat
the
same
repeat
the
same
mistakes,
and
so
we
we
really
need
to
understand
what
this,
what
the
relationship
with
the
chamber
is
and
have
some
more
more
defined
boundaries
between
the
city
and
the
chamber,
because
it's
it's
it's
very.
It's
very
gray,
what's
been
going
on
in
the
past,
and
I
do
think
that
the
the
question,
if,
if
they
shouldn't,
have
been
given
money,
what
recourse
does
the
council
have?
I
think
that
is
an
interesting,
a
question
when
it
comes
to
the
the
website.
A
AJ
Yes,
mayor,
if
I
may
just
briefly,
I
just
wanted
to
give
a
rundown
of
how
the
process
works
for
accounts
payable.
There
is
a
two
approval
process
that
happens
in
the
department,
so
someone
in
the
department
is
entering
these
invoices.
The
secondary
level
is
approving
the
invoices.
They
then
come
to
finance
where
there
is
a
spot
check
done
on
items.
AJ
But,
however,
we
do
not
have
the
staff
to
check
every
single
accounts
payable
item
that
comes
before
us
to
go
in
dig
into
the
detail.
We
make
sure
there
isn't
something
attached
to
it,
because
there
has
to
be
backup
for
it
when
there's
a
payment
going
out,
but
just
wanted
to
present
a
little
bit
about
what
that
detail
looks
like
and
a
little
bit
about
the
expectations
in
terms
of
the
number
of
transactions
that
run
through
the
department
and
the
check
that's
being
completed.
AJ
A
Great
well,
thank
you
very
much
director
alfaro,
and
I
will
you
know,
add
to
that
when
we
were
going
over
a
lot
of
these
accounts
payable
in
2018,
when
I
was
going
over
those
line
by
line.
I
know
that
even
then,
four
years
ago
we
had
the
software
that
could
connect
to
those
underlying
documents,
and
so
you
know
given
the
fact
that
councilmember
moore
is
the
other
member
of
the
audit
committee
from
council.
A
It
might
not
be
a
bad
idea
to
schedule
time
whether
to
show
you
her
your
financial
system
and
show
how
those
documents
are
interconnected,
but
that's
definitely,
you
know
greatly
appreciated
with
regard
to
indicating
what
the
internal
process
flow
is
in.
In
terms
of
you
know,
not
necessarily
checking
every
single
accounts
payable
to
see
that
there's
underlying
documentation
there,
but
I
know
that
it
is
readily
available
at
the
click
of
a
button.
A
B
Mayor,
thank
you.
You
had
actually
sort
of
said
what
I
was
going
to
say
about
going
through
how
the
process
actually
works,
and
we
you
know,
we've
been
going
on
if
it's
come
to
council.
Yet
we've
been
looking
at
our
mos
adams
reports
about
procurement,
and
this
is
something
that
you
know
a
very
good
reason
why
we
should
have
a
procurement
officer,
etc
on
this.
So
but
you
would
mention
more
or
less
what
I
was
going
to
say.
Oh.
A
Absolutely
yeah,
I
had
a
really
good
conversation,
a
one-hour
conversation
with
the
auditor
from
moss
adams
last
week,
actually
largely
about
procurement
yeah.
So
you
know
one
thing
I'll
say
before
I
call
on
vice
mayor
ciao
and
I
will
note
that
we're
six
minutes
till
midnight
so,
if
necessary,
we'll
go
ahead
and
continue
this
item,
you
know
one
thing
I'll
say
is
that
none
of
this
really
belies.
I
I
mean,
in
my
opinion,
the
legitimacy
of
councilmember
moore's
point
you
know.
A
Certainly,
if
an
agenda
item
you
know
or
description
on
the
accounts
payable
indicates
a
contract.
It
would
probably
you
know
you
know
good
to
you.
Well,
let
me
just
go
ahead
and
thank
councilman
moore
for
you
know
being
fastidious
about.
You
know
observing
these
details.
I
think
it's
adhered
to
our
benefit.
You
know
each
time
that
these
details
have
been
pointed
out
so
and,
like
city
attorney
jensen
pointed
out
as
well.
A
contract
doesn't
need
to
be
written,
but
it's
you
know
probably
a
good
idea
here.
A
One
final
point
that
I'll
make
before
I
do
call
on
vice
mayor
chow.
I
think
we
will
have
to
continue
this
frankly,
since
we're
you
know
really
time
limited.
One
final
point
I
make
is
that
you
know
in
this
case
a
chamber
of
commerce
is
a
501c6
organization,
and
the
purpose
of
a
501c6
organization
is
a
little
different
from
a
501c3,
and
you
know
I
know
this.
You
know
primarily
because
I
was
once
in
claudio's
shoes.
I
was
the
chamber
board
president
back
in
2014
for
our
particular
chamber.
A
A
That's
probably
a
good
idea
to
think
about
right
when
we're
going
through
the
memorandum
of
understanding
and
we're
writing
down
documentation.
Let's
just
keep
clear
our
roles
right
because
you
know
oftentimes.
You
know
I
see
this.
You
know
as
a
broader
problem
as
well.
You
know
people
start
to
really
misunderstand.
You
know
the
various
roles
involved.
I
mean
we're
public
policymakers,
you
know,
and
at
the
end
of
the
day,
a
lot
of
people
think
that
you
know
we're
here
to
get
kicked
around
exclusively,
but
but
in
fact
yes
we're.
A
It's
probably
a
good
idea
to
you
know,
consider
the
fact
that
this
organization
exists
as
a
lobbying
mechanism
by
their
business
community
of
of
the
jurisdiction,
so
to
kind
of
keep
that
separated
within
the
language
of
the
mou
would
probably
be
a
pretty
good
policy
point
from
the
perspective
of
our
city.
So
let
me
go
to
vice
mayor
ciao.
Vice
mayor,
you
know
I
apologize.
I've
only
left
you
with
maybe
a
couple
of
minutes
before
I'm
gonna
have
to
cut
you
off.
You
know
I
could
go
ahead
and
continue
this
item.
A
Our
subsequent
meeting
on
april
5th
happy
to
do
that,
but
vice
mayor,
if
you
have
a
point
that
you
want
to
make
within
a
minute
or
so,
and
if
you
wanted
to
share
that
minute
with
you
know:
councilmember
white
great,
if
you
could
both
you
know,
be
that
succinct
about
it
and
let
me
go
vice
mayor
chow.
Would
you
rather
I
just
continue
this
at
this
point.
G
I
want
to
make
the
point
so
the
there
are
formal
agreements
with
other
cities,
but
each
one
is
for
a
specific
task
in
a
specific
year.
None
of
those
are
ongoing,
except
gilroy,
but
gilroy
is
also
for
a
specific
program
that
they
are
paid
by
a
percentage
of
grants
they
processed
so,
for
I
think
I
would
like
to
see
clarity
on
what
this
the
grant
from
cupertino
is
used
by
the
chamber
for
the
interest
of
cupertino.
G
A
B
A
C
A
Okay,
well
we'll
table
this
until
april
or
may,
and
so
thanks
very
much
for
for
that
input,
and
so
that
reaches
the
end
of
our
agenda.
I'm
gonna
go
ahead
and
ask
that
we
reserve
our.
You
know
final
comments
with
regard
to
you
know.
You
know,
council,
you
know
announcements
or
future
agenda
items
at
this
point
since
we're
right
at
midnight.
I
do
see
hands
still
raised
from
our
city
manager
and
vice
mayor.
A
A
Mayor,
I'm
gonna
cut
you
off
okay,
so
so
that's
that's.
You
know.
Those
points
have
been
made.
I
appreciate
that.
Well,
thanks
very
much
everyone.
It
is
now
march
16th,
so
I'm
going
to
go
ahead
and
adjourn
our
regular
council
meeting
of
march
15
2022.
We
will
see
you
at
our
next
regular
council
meeting
on
april
5th
2022.
