Description
Coverage of the Cupertino City Council Teleconference Meeting, recorded on Tuesday, November 2, 2021. Part 2 of 2.
A
B
A
And
I'm
here
I'll
know
for
the
record
that
council,
member
willie
did
show
up
and
state
that
easier
here.
Great.
Thank
you
very
much,
madam
city
clerk,
and
at
this
point
I'm
going
to
go
ahead
and
report
out
on
our
closed
session
that
we
had
earlier
this
evening.
That
was
at
5
p.m.
It
was
a
special
meeting.
Let
me
get
the
language
precisely.
I
wrote
written
this
down
the
item.
The
one
and
only
item
was
noticed
as
public
employee
appointment
under
government
code,
section
54957b,
title
city
manager.
A
A
We
have
ceremonial
matters
and
presentations
at
this
point.
Item
number
one
is
a
presentation
from
united
against
hate
and
a
proclamation
recognizing
november
14th
through
the
20th
2021,
as
united
against
hate
week,
appreciations
to
the
office
of
the
mayor
of
the
city
of
berkeley
for
putting
forward
this
effort.
A
As
as
part
of
you
know,
the
the
abag
representatives
for
the
bay
area,
I've
been
able
to
see
mayor
mayor
erguine
in
action,
he's,
I
believe,
chairing
that
organization
this
year
and
I
believe
for
the
next
term
as
well,
and
so
he's
been.
You
know
trying
to,
I
think,
put
forward
some
really
positive.
You
know
statements
and
consolidation
of
support
in
the
aftermath
of
a
number
of
movements.
In
the
last
couple
of
years
there
was
the
metoo
movement.
A
There's
black
lives
matter,
there's
stop
asian
hate,
and
you
know
I
I
think
we
can
all
generally
agree
that
you
know
a
lot
of
these
types
of
you
know
sentiments
that
are
you
know
rather
gratuitous
and
hurtful
are
really
not
necessary.
You
know
in
order
to
move
forward
the
conversation
in
just
almost
every
respect,
and
so
we
do
have
a
representative
from
the
mayor's
office
from
berkeley
here,
jacqueline
mccormick,
jacqueline,
welcome
to
cupertino
via
zoom.
Thank
you
for
being
here.
D
E
Hi
jack,
it's
really
good
to
see
you
here,
you
know,
michael
wu
is
also
who
just
joined
our
office
is
also.
I
took
him
too,
so
I
had
to
mention
that,
but
but
yeah
thank
you
for
coming.
It's
really
great
to
see
you.
D
Great
okay:
well,
I
was
asked
to
put
this
just
brief
presentation
together,
I'd
be
happy
to
share
it
with
you.
There
we
go
and
let
me
start:
I'm
gonna
move
this
over
here.
D
Okay,
you
know
out
of
nowhere.
Things
happen
that
change
our
personal
lives
and
some
of
these
things
can
change
us
forever
and
for
me
personally,
what
started
out
as
being
a
very
simple
poster
campaign
has
become
a
movement
again.
I
thank
you
so
much
for
letting
me
share
tonight.
The
united
against
hate
campaign
provides
communities
with
support
and
a
network
of
resources
to
respond
to
hate
when
it
happens,
but,
most
importantly,
to
build
inclusion
and
equity
for
all
and
to
keep
it
from
happening
in
the
first
place.
D
A
D
Great
I'm
gonna
run
back
to
this.
Now,
okay,
go
away!
Stop
there!
There
you
go.
Why
am
I
not
going
back?
D
Sorry
guys,
stop
sharing,
go
back.
D
All
right,
I'm
not
going
to
share
screen
anymore
there
we
go
all
right
thanks
and
anyway,
those
people
around
that
table
were
the
members
of
the
first
13
communities
that
engaged
in
united
against
hate
week,
and
that
was
back
in
2017.
D
We've
also
grown
nationally
organically
to
this
year.
There
are
going
to
be
events
in
cincinnati,
ohio,
bloomington,
illinois,
bowling
green
and
at
rutgers
college,
and
there
are
also
smattering
of
smaller
communities
throughout
the
whole
entire
california
region
that
are
also
contributing
to
united
against
hate
week.
Attorneys
state
attorney
general
ron.
Bonta
is
going
to
be
promoting
the
event
and
providing
special
messages
throughout
the
week
and
with
the
rising
hate
crimes.
The
need
for
action
could
not
be
more
clear.
D
What
started
this
was
in
2017
when
there
were
a
bunch
of
protests
coming
to
berkeley
after
the
tragic
events
of
charlottesville,
our
city
leaders
in
berkeley
and
throughout
the
bay
area
were
prep.
You
know
preparing
for
yet
another
bunch
of
group
rallies
and
as
in
berkeley
and
chris
was
there.
We
were
terrified
for
the
safety
of
our
community.
D
We
needed
to
do
something
and
we
needed
to
do
something
that
was
positive.
That
would
allow
people
to
come
and
engage
or
to
stay
home
and
engage
and
send
a
message
and
make
an
important
statement
that
hate
has
no
place
in
berkeley.
So,
with
the
mayor's
support,
we
created
those
berkeley
stance,
united
against
hate
signs
and
in
just
a
day,
oakland
joined
us,
and
by
the
time
we
were
done.
As
I
said,
by
the
time
the
visitors
came
to
town,
there
were
13
communities
who
had
individual
signs
printed
too.
D
D
And
just
participation,
not
just
in
california,
but
we
really
would
love
to
see
this
grow
nationally.
So
what
does
united
against
hate
week?
Do
we
provide
a
central
platform
for
local
communities
to
engage
and
have
events,
and
we
can
provide
tool
kits
and
ideas
for
folks
to
do
things?
Community
members
are
able
to
find
ways
to
participate
and
plug
in
through
our
calendar.
D
We
it
allows
organizations
and
communities
to
share
ideas
with
each
other
and
that's
basically
what
it
is
again
we're
so
grateful
for
for
cupertino's
engagement
in
this,
and
I
just
would.
D
I
really
hope
that
this
is
the
first
of
many
years
of
sharing
that
you
participate
in
and
that
it's
not
just
during
the
week
that
we
do
this
work
it's
during
the
week
that
we
provide
the
visibility
and
focus
on
the
importance
of
this
and
the
work
is
done
throughout
the
rest
of
the
year
to
ensure
that
we're
building
the
kind
of
networks
that
we
need
to
again.
You
know,
stop
hate
from
happening
and
to
be
able
to
respond
when
it
does
so
so
grateful
for
your
proclamation
and
and
for
your
participation
thanks
absolutely.
A
A
We
can
okay
great,
so
you
know
thank
you
very
much
for
all
the
excellent
efforts
here.
I
also
hope
that
this
is
the
beginning
of
a
long
and
productive
collaboration
and
thank
the
city
of
berkeley
for
initiating
this
and
congratulate
you
on
your
fourth
year
in
bringing
this
forth
to
you
know
all
the
various
communities-
and
you
know
not
just
the
ones
that
need
it,
because
we
all
need
it
frankly,
but
you
know
sticking
with
it
and
making
sure
that
this
grows
and
expands.
A
I
I
will
note
that
I
I
believe
los
gatos
is
having
an
event
regarding
united
against
hate
fairly
fairly
soon,
and
so
you
know
again
once
again
on
behalf
of
the
community
and
our
city
council.
Thank
you
very
much
for
being
here
this
evening
and
hopefully
we'll
be
working
together
for
many
years
to
come.
D
D
A
On
to
item
number
two,
this
is
a
proclamation
recognizing
november
as
lung
cancer
awareness
month.
It
is
something
that
we
had
recognized
last
year.
That
is
true,
but
is
also
something
that
is
extremely
topical.
A
We
want
to
make
sure
that
you
know
we
all
stay
healthy
and
aware,
especially
in
these
times
when
cardio
respiratory
issues
and,
of
course,
they're
always
important
right,
I
mean
everyone
has
a
heart
that
beats
and
you
know
lungs,
that
breathe,
but
at
the
same
time,
especially
during
these
times,
when
we
have
a
cardio
respiratory
affected
pandemic,
you
know
going
into
all
society
all
of
the
the
planet
for
the
the
second
year.
Now
we
just
need
to
be
particularly
cognizant
of
you
know
these
types
of
issues.
A
We
have
sankavi
kuhan
and
I
apologize
if
I
didn't
quite
get
the
pronunciation
of
the
name
correctly,
but
she'll
be
receiving
a
proclamation
on
behalf
of
the
american
lung
cancer
screening
initiative,
and
so
thank
you
very
much
for
being
here.
Did
you
want
to
make
a
few
remarks,
or
perhaps
even
a
presentation
with
regard
to
lung
cancer
awareness
initiative.
G
Hi
yeah,
I
just
wanted
to
say
a
few
remarks.
So,
first
of
all,
I
just
wanted
to
thank
you
so
much
for
having
me
here
at
your
meeting
and
on
behalf
of
elsie.
Thank
you
so
much
mayor,
paul
city,
councilman
and
the
city
of
cupertino
for
this
proclamation
recognizing
november
as
lung
cancer
awareness
month.
G
So
elsie
is
a
team
of
physicians
and
students
working
to
spread
awareness
and
promote
lung
cancer.
Screening
for
people
who
are
high
risk
for
developing
lung
cancer
and
lung
cancer
is
currently
the
second
most
common
cancer
in
the
united
states
and
the
leading
cause
of
death
among
men
and
women
in
the
u.s
accounting
for
more
deaths
than
breast
cancer.
Colon
cancer
and
prostate
cancer
combined,
currently
most
lung
cancers
are
diagnosed
at
a
late
stage.
G
For
example,
64
of
lung
cancer
cases
are
diagnosed
at
stage
3
or
stage
4,
and
only
25
percent
of
lung
cancers
are
diagnosed
at
stage.
1.,
therefore,
increasing
the
number
of
lung
cancers
diagnosed
at
an
early
stage
through
lung
cancer
screening
is
key
to
saving
lives.
Therefore,
I
just
want
to
thank
you
all
again
for
this
proclamation,
your
support
and
encouraging
all
citizens
to
learn
about
lung
cancer
and
early
detection
through
lung
cancer
screening.
So
thank
you
so
much.
A
Thank
you
so
very
much
sankavi,
and
we
really
appreciate
you
being
here
and
you
know
helping
us
to
let
people
know
that
an
ounce
of
prevention
and
screening
is
worth
a
pound
of
cure,
as
we've
learned
in
many
contexts
in
cupertino.
So
here's
the
proclamation.
Thank
you
very
much,
madam
city
clerk,
for
putting
it
up
here
and
we'll
we'll
recognize
this
for
november
2nd
2021-
and
this
is
lung
cancer
awareness
month
in
the
city
of
cupertino.
A
So
thanks
very
much
for
all
the
work
that
you
and
the
american
lung
cancer
screening
initiative
do
as
well
to
make
us
all
aware
of
the
importance
of
of
that
prevention
and
the
screening
to
make
sure
that
our
you
know.
Collective
and
individual
health
are
preserved.
So
all
right.
Thank
you
very
much
we'll
go
on.
Yes,.
G
A
I
see
that
as
well.
So,
let's
see
it
is
from
paul
soto,
so
paul,
I'm
gonna
go
ahead
and
go
on
to
oral
communications
right
after
postponements
and
orders
of
the
day,
so
postponements
and
orders
of
the
day
have
to
do
with
essentially
any
request
to
reorder
items
on
the
agenda.
Are
there
any
requests
to
do
that
from
counsel?
A
A
Excellent,
let's
go
on
to
oral
communications
and
oral
communications
are
for
any
communications
to
counsel
in
the
public
that
have
to
do
with
an
item
that
is
not
agendized
and
so
members
of
the
public
are
free
to
speak
to
the
agenda's
items
at
the
time
that
we
reached
them
on
the
agenda,
but
for
any
non-agendized
items.
This
is
what
oral
communications
is
for.
A
I
see
four
hands
raised
from
members
of
the
public
and
so
I'll
just
remind
everyone
that,
as
soon
as
the
first
member
of
the
public
gets
done,
speaking
you'll
have
to
have
your
hand
raised
in
order
to
be
put
into
the
queue
to
speak
under
oral
communications.
A
So
at
this
time,
they're
actually
eight
hands
I'll
go
ahead
and
read
these
out:
paul
soto,
jennifer,
griffin,
mooney,
matapatla,
peggy,
griffin,
india,
abianker
binker,
rather
lisa
warren
tracy,
j
and
leon
lee,
and
so
welcome.
Paul
you'll.
H
I
Thank
you.
Thank
you,
mayor
paul.
I
I
want
to
talk
about.
I
was
in
attendance
at
san
jose
city
council
meeting
today,
and
they
were
talking
about
covid
relief
funds
that
they
were
going
to
allocate
in
the
language,
the
marketing
language,
because
these
authors
of
these
memos
they
take
certain
types
of
sociological,
social
psychology
classes
to
take
marketing
classes,
which
basically
marketing
is
just
basically
mass
psychology
and
mass
hypnosis.
That's
really
the
actual
goal
is
the
hypnosis
part,
so
the
person
doesn't
access
their
their
their
their
compassion,
centers.
I
It
doesn't
allow
the
penetration
of
truth
to
inoculate,
the
human
being
from
being
inhumane.
Let
me
give
you
an
example:
when
the
you
could
see
the
word
proximity
between
talking
about
homelessness,
low-income
parents,
people
of
less
means,
and
then
sjpd,
rape,
public
safety,
you
had
the
word
associations
and
the
word
clusters
so
closely
that
it
could
only
be
by
design
and
it's.
This
is
where
the
racism
and
the
hate
still
permeates
and
pervades
our
society.
I
But
you
see
we're
not
aware
of
it,
because
we
haven't
created
the
language
we
we
can
articulate
it
clearly
and
it's
not
a
debatable
issue.
Truth
is
not
debatable,
you
could
debate
facts,
but
you
cannot
debate
truth
and
truth.
I
I
would,
I
would
venture
so
far
as
to
say,
can
be
most
be
most
aptly
vocalized
by
the
people
that
have
re
incurred,
the
generational,
traumas
and
injustices
that
are
associated
with
this
virus.
That
is,
that
is
inserted
in
our
policies.
A
Thank
you
paul,
and
now
we
have
eight
total
speakers.
Amy
pang
is
our
last
speaker
and
the
rest
are
as
read
off
previously.
Next
we
have
muni
matapatla,
welcome,
muni.
J
Recently
I
learned
from
parents
that
csd
board
has
decided
to
close
quite
a
few
schools
in
our
city
in
our
neighborhood
and
distribute
the
kids.
You
know
from
close
schools
to
the
remaining
schools
within
the
city.
I
wonder
if
they
did
any
sql
study
and
traffic
impact
analysis
of
their
decisions.
J
As
I
expect
you
know,
increase
traffic
within
the
city
as
a
result
of
their
decisions
and
just
to
give
an
example
right
so
because
I
have
the
most
experience
with
this
area,
the
the
location
where
you
know
we
have.
You
know
lincoln
kennedy
and
mondovista
that
place.
You
know
during
school,
beginning
and
closing
time.
It's
like
a
zoo,
a
lot
of
kids.
J
You
know
parents
crossing,
and
you
know
it's
very
difficult
now
if
reginard
is
going
to
be
closed,
all
those
parents,
you
know
going
from
that
area
towards
lincoln,
is
going
to
be
a
big
challenge
right
because
you
know
there's
traffic
going
towards
kennedy
and
people
from
that
side.
You
know
coming
towards
lincoln
and
it's
going
to
be
a
pretty
tough
situation.
J
So,
as
a
concerned
resident,
I
would
like
the
council
to
stand
up
for
the
community
and
and
challenge
you
know:
cusd
board
decision
to
close
schools
without
you
know
proper
traffic
analysis
and
sql
study
right.
So
I
would
really
appreciate
you
know
if
city
council
can
take
this
up
and
work
with
the
csd
board
to
do
what's
right.
Thank
you.
K
Thank
you,
mayor
darcy,
hi,
I'm
jennifer
griffin.
I
initially.
Let's
just
talk
about
sb10,
it's
not
agendas.
Tonight
I
just
had
a
couple
of
comments.
Sb10
is
one
of
the
housing
bills
it.
I
think
it
allows
you
to
split
a
lot
up
into
10
housing
units.
K
Where
are
we
going
to
get
the
park
land
to
accommodate
these
new
people?
The
cities
are
trying
very
hard
to
purchase
park
land
or
have
it
donated.
We
can't
even
cut
keep
up
with
the
parkland
for
the
people
we
have
now
in
the
city.
K
Nowhere
in
the
legislator
or
the
governor
have
they
talked
about
how
we're
supposed
to
accommodate
parkland
for
these
new
people.
It's
basically
split
up
the
lots
put
in
all
these
people
and
we
have
no
parkland
plus
the
parkland.
That's
here
is
going
to
be
further
used
by
the
for
the
people
that
are
trying
to
use
it.
I
I
think
we
need
to
stop
the
the
charades
of
sb10
and
start
talking
about
the
logistics
of
the
supply
chain
of
this.
How
do
we
get
parkland?
K
Where
is
the
governor
coming?
Where
is
senator
cortesey?
Where
is
evan
lowe?
Coming
from
I
mean
this
is
the
reality
check.
The
other
thing
I'm
going
to
mention
here
is
for
the
last
two
to
three
years.
We
have
had
housing
bills
rolled
out
from
sacramento.
That's
fine,
okay!
It's
it's
pointing
fingers
at
the
neighborhoods
okay,
but
I
do
not
think
that
it
is
appropriate
to
hang
the
term
racist
along
with
the
housing
bills
and
dump
it
all
on
everyone
that
happens
to
live
in
neighborhoods.
K
K
However,
you
wish,
but
do
not
do
not
accuse
my
grandparents
and
great-grandparents,
who
were
irish,
who
came
over
here
as
laborers
and
minors
that
they
are
racist,
because
these
people
have
no
comprehension
of
the
treatment
of
catholics
and
protestants
here
in
canada
and
in
ireland
I
have
griffin
is,
is
a
clan
in
ireland
and
there
are
both
catholic
and
protestant
relatives
in
canada
and
ireland,
and
I
can
tell
you
it
is
brutal.
I
have
other
relatives
who
came
in
for
religious
reason,
two
to
three
generations
back
and
then
there's
virginia.
We
have
huguenots.
K
L
Thank
you,
mayor
paul
city,
council
and
staff,
I'm
speaking
on
two
topics,
and
the
first
slide
is
right.
There.
This
slide
is
a
map
of
our
general
plan,
figure,
lu2
community
forum
diagram.
L
Last
week
I
attended
the
erc
meeting
and
I
was
shocked
to
find
out
that
the
city
is
not
requiring
a
general
plan
amendment
for
the
better
brothers
project.
It
is
in
direct
conflict
with
so
many
of
our
general
plan
goals,
policies
and
strategies,
not
to
mention
the
land,
use
definition
for
the
parcels.
L
Commercial
centers
at
risk
of
disappearing.
Our
city
has
lost
so
much
retail
and
decisions
like
this
go
against
the
guiding
principles
of
sustainability
and
health
of
both
our
people
and
our
communities.
L
L
I'm
begging
you
to
move
fast
and
if
you
can't
stop
this
from
happening
at
least
prevent
it
from
reoccurring
again
now
next
topic
next
time,
please
resolution
12,
0,
9
8
was
the
main
street
approval
requirements.
The
target
express
site
is
described
in
the
asa
as
building
6
21
000
square
feet
for
major
retail.
L
L
L
M
Okay,
awesome.
Thank
you.
My
topic
is
around
stop
closing
schools
in
cupertino.
I
am
regnat
and
kennedy
parent.
The
decision
that
the
board
made
on
october
14th
was
heartbreaking
and
the
entire
regnant
community
is
disturbed.
We
are
still
in
pandemic
and
families
have
lost
their
dear
ones.
They
are
going
through
a
lot
of
emotional
challenges
and
getting
through
this
school
closure
topic
is
adding
more
challenges.
M
So,
looking
at
the
real
facts,
there
is
no
real
need
or
valid
reason
to
close
the
schools,
and
here
are
the
four
main
reasons
fact.
One
board
said
that
they
are
closing
the
schools
because
of
declining
enrollment
honestly
closing
schools
with
will
not
fix
the
declining
enrollment,
as
it
has
a
long
long
term
impact.
It
will
prevent
the
new
families
from
moving
into
the
neighborhood
number
two.
This
is
around.
The
infrastructure
board
made
a
decision
to
consolidate
regnart
into
lincoln
and
blue
hills.
M
Just
looking
at
the
blue
hills
infrastructure,
the
infrastructure
is
not
ready,
they
are
spending
about
4.2
million
dollars
to
modernize
the
school,
while
regna
doesn't
need
any
modernization,
it's
perfect
and
it
can
accommodate
more
students
in
case.
If
we
see
an
increase
in
enrollment
so
so
having
this,
modernization
is
adding
actually
no
benefit
number
three.
This
is
around
the
safety.
Consolidating
the
schools
during
pandemic
will
increase
the
safety
risk
for
kids.
Also,
the
traffic
the
traffic
is
going
to
be
an
issue
and
kids
safety
is
a
big
concern.
M
We
in
regnart
ran
a
preliminary
traffic
study
and
saw
an
increase
in
70
percent
in
our
commute
time,
with
only
20
people
participating
participating
in
this,
which
means
that
extrapolating
the
data
with
100
participation,
it's
going
to
be
worse
and
board,
made
a
decision
without
actually
doing
a
thorough
traffic
study
number
four.
This
is
around
the
cost
analysis
there.
There
is
going
to
be
an
additional
cost
in
the
operating
by
consolidating
the
schools
just
by
doing
the
basic
math.
M
It
shows
that
there
is
an
increase
in
about
300
k
per
year
in
the
operating
cost,
and
what
both
mentioned
was
there
is
a
saving
of
500k
by
by
closing
one
school.
The
delta
is
actually
not
that
not
that
much
so
there
is
no
actual
need
to
close
the
schools.
If
the
goal
is
to
generate
revenue
by
leasing,
pregnant
or
even
mayor
host,
then
board's
priority
is,
is
not
keeping
kids
as
a
priority,
and
the
priority
is
something
different.
M
They
also
have
opened
a
new
position
to
hire
an
assistant
associate
superintendent
in
cust,
while
they
are
closing
the
schools,
which
means
that
they
have
less
schools,
but
they
need
more
people
to
manage,
which
absolutely
doesn't
make
any
sense.
So,
overall,
my
request
here
to
the
council
is
to
really
challenge
the
cupertino
school
district
and
stop
closing
schools
and
and
look
for
alternatives
to
fix
our
core
problem.
Thank
you.
C
C
What
I
really
want
is
answers.
I
want
someone
to
need
to
answer
me
and
all
the
other
people
concerned
about
the
same
thing,
so
everything
that
peggy
said
about
main
street
and
the
amount
of
restaurants
that
should
be
allowed
in
there
based
on
resolution
12098,
which
was
actually
from
september
2012
after
a
huge
bait
and
switch
from
the
original
project.
That
was
a
re
that
was
approved
in
2000
december
2008
or
early
2009.
C
C
They
took
away
part
of
the
project
that
the
community
had
really
bought
into
in
2008
when
there
were
community
sessions,
so
we
already
had
a
bait
and
switch
last.
I
believe
it
was
the
last
city
council
meeting
where
we
had
staff
admit
that
there
was
a
mistake
made
when
they
allowed
architectural
features
that
are
not
supposed
to
be
occupied
and
they're
occupied.
That's
also
at
main
street
in
the
offices,
I'm
really
finding
it
hard
to
swallow
yet
another
potential
takeaway
from
the
community
and
give
away
to
the
developer.
C
Now,
at
one
point,
building
number
six
was
labeled
by
michael.
I
can't
chan,
I
believe
his
name
was
the
architect
as
being
food,
green
in
color,
some
of
the
accent
colors.
I
said
so.
What's
the
food
green,
oh
well,
because
they
were
trying
to
get
a
small
grocery
sprouts
perhaps,
but,
as
I
understand
it,
they
missed
out
on
that
opportunity
target
was
what
they
got.
C
N
Thank
you
city,
council
members,
for
your
time
with
one
hastily
made
decision.
Cusd
is
about
to
tear
down
decades
worth
of
brand
equity
and
good
reputation,
build
up
in
ragnar,
meyerholz
and
muir.
I
say
brand
equity
and
reputation
because
closing
schools
is
damaging
not
only
to
the
school
district,
but
also
to
cupertina.
N
N
We
know
cusd
does
have
enough
money
to
keep
schools
open,
but
in
closing
them
it's
signaling
to
the
community
that
doesn't
when
families
evaluate
future
locations
to
live.
Cupertino
might
not
be
their
top
choice
anymore,
with
the
worry
of
school
closures
or
lack
of
funding
hanging
over
their
heads.
Our
property
values
won't
appreciate
as
quickly
compare
our
district
to
other
top
school
districts
which
are
not
struggling
with
school
closure
issues.
Despite
far
smaller
populations.
N
If
we
look
at
the
numbers,
cusd
is
14.
000
students
it
claims
declining
enrollment
is
a
problem.
Palo
alto
union
school
district
only
has
11
000
students
which
includes
middle
and
high
school
saratoga
has
1700
students
in
k-3.
Would
it
really
be
a
bad
thing
to
have
fewer
students?
Clearly,
our
district
is
already
large
compared
to
others.
Ultimately,
there's
no
good
reason
why
ragnar
should
close
financially
or
operational.
N
O
Hi,
can
you
hear
me?
Yes,
we
can
welcome
hi,
I'm
a
cupertino
resident
since
2019.
I
sincerely
ask
for
your
help
supporting
protecting
regunard.
O
Their
hearts
were
broken
when
they
heard
the
news
that
the
usd
school
board
had
decided
to
close
ragnart.
We
could
not
accept
the
decision
and
we
do
not
agree
with
the
process
and
their
approaches.
Here
are
a
couple
of
reasons.
The
first
is
about
low
enrollment.
The
main
reason
claimed
by
cusd
to
close
scores
is
low
enrollment.
We
demand
usd
to
have
thorough
study
on
how
many
families
with
school-aged
children
reside
in
the
district.
How
many
of
them
are
choosing
private
schools
or
alternative
schools
over
neighborhood
schools?
O
I
have
known
multiple
families
who
choose
to
drop
out
of
webinar
because
they
keep
her
hearing
about
school
closure
and
they
lost
confidence
and
trust
to
the
school
board,
also
known
families
who
were
turned
away
because
overflow
closing
school
is
the
easiest
thing
to
do,
but
that
will
further
damage
parents
trust
to
the
board.
I
am
worried
that
if
more
and
more
families
choose
to
leave
the
district,
the
board
will
just
continue
to
close
more
schools,
and
that
seems
to
be
the
only
solution
that
they
would
have.
O
O
That
is
because
the
governor
not
only
provided
for
funding
to
schools,
but
also
provided
extra
funding
for
the
1400
students
who
left
usd
after
the
pandemic.
The
other
side
is
the
financial
issue
is
how
the
board
spends
money.
There
were
multiple
requests
from
the
community
for
cusd
to
publish
ratio
of
staff
to
students.
We
still
don't
get
any
data.
O
The
very
next
discussion
item
in
a
world
meeting
that
decides
to
close
three
neighborhood
schools
is
to
hire
a
new
executive
with
close
to
400
his
salary.
That
clearly
reflects
how
usd
would
like
to
spend
its
limited
budget
students.
Our
teachers
seems
to
be
of
the
lowest
priority
in
their
list.
So
in
summary,
I
essentially
request
city
council
to
help
us
protect
the
ragnart
and
to
rebuild
our
confidence
to
the
school.
P
Hi
board,
thank
you
for
letting
me
speak,
so
I'm
speaking
again
tonight
to
really
talk
to
the
cupertino
board
and
talk
about
the
decision
that
cusd
board
made
to
close
schools
about
a
a
little
two
weeks
ago.
As
a
regular
parent,
I
have
two
children
and
I'm
also
a
regular
alumni.
I
moved
back
to
cupertino
specifically
to
attend
the
schools
in
cupertino
because
they
have
one
of
the
best
ranked
schools
in
bay
area.
P
These
past
two
years,
obviously
with
covert,
have
been
very
difficult
for
our
children.
They
are
struggling
with
catching
up
and
now
we're
adding
the
burden
of
closing
schools.
The
kids
understand
that
they're
closing
their
their
schools
are
going
to
end
up
being
closed
and
it's
causing
a
huge
mental
health
dilemma
with
them,
because
not
only
are
they
having
to
deal
with
the
coveted
everything
with
covet
and
masks.
P
They're
also
now
having
to
deal
with
closing
schools,
and
I
really
wonder
if
you
know
the
board
thought
about
this,
as
they
were,
making
their
decisions
to
spit
ragnar
in
half.
It
really
doesn't
make
any
sense.
All
the
traffic
that's
gonna
end
up
going
to
lincoln
will
be
horrible,
because
you're
gonna
have
parents
that
will
be
driving
to
kennedy,
monte,
vista
and
de
anza
and
apple
offices
by
next
year
and
we'd
like
to
understand
why
coc
still
has
not
started
a
traffic
study.
P
I
believe
that
was
requested
a
couple
times
in
the
board
meetings,
but
I
don't
believe
that
has
ever
been.
That's
never
taken
place.
Closing
cusc
elementary
schools
is
causing
a
negative
impact
in
the
community.
More
parents
are
actually
making
decisions
to
pull
their
kids
out
of
out
of
school
and
sending
them
to
private
school
or
they're
moving
completely
out
of
cupertino,
because
they're
afraid
of
what's
going
to
happen
to
cusd
and
the
school
districts
around.
P
P
P
One
thing
we've
asked
the
board
to
do
is
really
put
themselves
in
our
children's
jews,
and
tonight
I'm
asking
you
to
do
the
same.
They've
dealt
with
so
much
these
past
two
years.
Nothing
is
normal
and
their
mental
health
is
really
being
tested.
A
limit.
I'm
begging
the
board
to
give
these
kids
another
chance
to
reconsider,
not
closing
their
schools
right
now.
I
have
one
child
in
third
grade
and
I
have
a
second
that's
in
third
grade,
so
my
third
grader
is
the
only
one.
That's
ever
had
one
one
true
year
in
elementary
school.
P
My
second
grader
has
never
had
a
true
year
in
elementary
school.
Our
children
are
living
in
a
pandemic
and
these
two
years
have
caused
them
to
miss
friends,
miss
family
and
a
closed
world.
Basically,
I'm
urging
you
to
put
yourselves
in
our
children's
school
and
help
us
rethink
about
the
school
closer
schools.
Thank
you.
A
A
However,
for
oral
communications,
if
there
is
time
remaining-
and
there
are
people
that
are
still
wanting
to
speak,
we
do
have
an
item
at
the
very
end
that
will
allow
us
to
go
to
back
to
oral
communications
if
you
wish,
and
so
we'll
go
on
to
item
number
three
now
this
is
reports
by
council
and
staff.
A
The
first
item
under
this
section
is
a
brief
report
on
council
member
activities
and
brief
announcements
I'll
remind
our
council
that
this
is
basically
anything
that
is
not
within
your
council
committee,
formal
assignments
that
you
want
to
update
the
public
on
within
about
a
minute
or
less
so
I'll,
go
on
to
the
first
hand
raised
that
is
from
vice
mayor
chow.
Welcome
by
speaker.
Q
Mayor,
I
hope
to
get
some
updates
from
staff
for
questions
from
the
community.
One
is
the
hosting
property.
What
is
the
where
it's
in
the
process
right
now,
so
I
think
peggy's
question
was
whether
there
is
still
time
to
review
its
approval
or
disapproval,
and
then
another
issue
is
with
was
the
main
street
target
express
being
replaced
by
bankrupt
hall?
So
what
exactly
is
the
status.
A
Well,
let's
go
on
that
with
the
city
manager
update,
which
will
be
item
number
five,
so
we'll
take
that
under
consideration
for
your
request
for
updates,
you
do
have
about
half
a
minute
left.
Vice
versa.
Did
you
want
to
update
on
anything
else
in
that
time.
Q
Yes,
so
so
one
thing
to
report
is
a
lot:
last
week
at
the
council
gave
direction
for
the
staff
to
look
into
the
possibility
of
moving
the
apple
park
parcel
to
cusd,
and
so
we
are
looking
forward
to
find
out
what's
the
process,
and
I
also
consulted
a
attorney
who
worked
with
usdp4
on
the
possibility
of
citizens
initiated
for
square
footage-based
parcel
tax,
which
might
only
need
a
50
to
vote
rather
than
two-thirds,
as
san
francisco
has
done
for
their
school
district.
But
then,
of
course,
unfortunately,
I
found
out
that
as
a
school.
A
Okay,
thank
you
vice
mayor
chow,
so
we'll
go
on
to
the
next
hand
raised
on
this.
So
just
some
brief
reports.
This
will
be
council
member
willie.
R
I
want
to
let
the
residents
know
that,
at
the
end
of
the
meeting,
when
we
get
to
ask
for
future
items,
I'll
be
asking
for
us
to
do
a
have
a
update
on
this
study
session
for
cusd,
so
we
have
a
better
understanding
and
hopefully
able
to
answer
vice
mayor's
question.
I'd
also
like
to
say,
I
also
feel
we
should
know
the
true
status
of
the
main
street
retail
requirement
and
where
it's
at
and
then
the
bath
brothers
we
these
are
important
to
our
community.
We
should
not
be
blindsided.
S
Hey
thank
you
with
regards
to
the
the
main
street
issue.
It
should
not
have
more
than
40
percent
of
total
retail
square
footage
for
restaurants
and
any
future
refinements
to
the
restaurant
percentage
may
be
approved
by
the
director
of
community
development.
If
a
subsequent
parking
and
traffic
analysis
indicates,
there
is
adequate
parking
for
the
various
mixtures
of
uses
and
there
are
no
additional
and
or
new
significant
traffic
impacts
compared
to
thresholds
study
in
the
original
2009
eir
and
the
2012
addendum.
S
So
there
are
some
rules
around
that
which
have
to
be
followed.
On
october
27th,
I
served
on
the
aca,
7
and
20210016
initiative
subcommittee
for
cal
cities.
We
have
the
task
of
making
recommendations
to
the
cal
cities
board
regarding
these
two
items
and
I
have
been
researching
them
and
tomorrow
we
have
another
meeting,
so
hopefully
we'll
finish
up
earlier
tonight,
so
I
can
get
to
my
homework
on
that.
I
also
looked
into
the
cusd
and
had
some
conversations
with
staff
which
we
can
talk
about
at
a
later
date.
Thank
you.
A
Great
great
timing,
councilmember
moore,
thank
you
and
councilmember
way.
F
Okay,
thank
you
mayor
paul,
so,
on
october
21st,
I
think
a
lot
of
us
attended
the
public
safety
forum
hosted
by
our
public
safety
commission.
I
hope
that
next
year
we
have
more
attendees,
it's
really
very
great,
with
a
lot
of
sheriff
and
fire
department
and
youth
reports,
and
on
the
october
22nd,
the
cupertino
historic
society
museum
hosted
soft
opening
of
the
exhibits
from
the
lonely
to
crosswords
incorporation.
F
We
have
the
real
openings.
I
hope
our
residents
would
go
and
see
it.
It's
really
interesting
history
of
our
cupertino
city
and
just
one
more
thing:
okay,
on
october
29th,
11
30,
full
moon,
current
city
council
women,
we
had
a
quarterly
brunch
at
a
high
house,
hosted
by
cupertino
city
council
women.
It
was
a
halloween
fellowship.
It
was
really
great.
You
know
fellowship
with
our
fellow
council
women,
so
that's
it.
A
Great
thanks
so
much
councilman
roy,
and
so
my
remarks
will
be
briefer,
and
possibly
I
can
get
this
within
a
minute
because
you
mentioned
a
couple
of
the
items,
so
we
have
a
lot
of
good
diversity.
In
cupertino,
the
turkish
republic
day
celebration
was
held
in
linda
vista
park,
this
past
saturday
october
30th.
So
I
was
really
pleased
to
be
able
to
go
there.
A
We
had
a
fire
scar
book,
signing
it's
a
name
of
a
book
written
by
lilly
lee
regarding
the
fires
that
were
set
mysteriously
and
never
solved
in
the
various
chinatown
encampments
in
the
in
the
late
19th
century.
As
I
think,
a
lot
of
people
know
we
were
hosting
boris
stanley,
one
of
the
incorporators
of
the
city
of
cupertino
a
couple
of
weeks
ago,
and
we
had
a
number
of
those
items,
including
the
historical
society
opening
of
the
exhibit.
A
As
a
quick
follow-up
to
that,
I
actually
got
an
email
from
a
member
of
the
community
whose
parents
had
taken
a
photo
in
1948
of
cupertino.
That,
I
think,
would
be
of
really
great
interest
to
people
and
he
wanted
to
ask
boris
whether
he
recognized
where
precisely
on
highway,
9
that
that
was
and
so
I'll
just
go
ahead
and
share
that
briefly:
you'll
notice,
that
it
says
cupertino,
elevation,
236
feet
and
population
200..
A
So
that
gives
you
a
good
sense
of
where
we're
at
you
know
a
few
short
you
know
years
ago,
some
80
years
ago,
so
over
200.
I
think
we
hover
around
60
thousand
now.
So
thanks.
A
We
are
on
to
item
number
four.
That's
our
report
on
our
committee
assignments.
These
are
our
formal
assignments
divvied
out
at
the
beginning
of
the
year
or
really
at
the
end
of
the
the
calendar
year
for
representing
cupertino
on
various
boards
and
agencies
around
the
area.
Anyone
like
to
go
first.
This
is
a
little
bit
more
time.
A
couple
minutes
each.
I
see
a
council
member
more
followed
by
council
member
way,
followed
by
vice
mayor
chow,
council,
member
moore.
S
Okay,
all
right,
thank
you,
mayor
paul.
So,
on
october
25th
I
served
on
the
audit
committee
with
a
vice
mayor.
We
received
an
internal
audit
update
additionally
and
of
note
the
language
regarding
the
opeb
and
pension
trust
investment
policies
was
reviewed.
I
expressed
my
concern
regarding
etfs
and
other
investments
and
requested
more
information
to
qualify
the
policies
and
public
interest.
I
chaired
the
environmental
review
committee
meeting
october
28th.
S
This
was
a
meeting
which
had
been
continued
from
august,
which
considered
whether
an
mnd
was
appropriate
for
two
projects
on
foothill,
I
brought
up
the
issue
of
general
plan
compliance
regarding
the
ground
floor,
retail
requirement
for
the
beta
brothers
project
at
the
stevens,
creek
boulevard
and
foothill
corner
and
learned
the
haa
30-day
period
for
determining
if
a
project
application
had
been
deemed
complete
by
city
staff
had
passed
without
counsel
or
erc
knowledge.
In
fact,
I
found
out
that
I
was
a
little
more
than
a
week
late,
but
never
knew
it.
S
F
Okay,
so
october
27th,
I
attended
the
valley
water
commission
meeting
because
of
the
extreme
drought.
There's
a
lot
of
talk
about
water
storage,
flood
prevention,
nature,
preservation
and
water
conversation
as
a
way
of
life,
and
that
says,
even
if
we
are
not
on
the
drought
season,
we
need
to
cut
cause
customize
our
our
lifestyle
to
conserve
water.
So
it's
a
very
important
issue.
So
thank
you.
Q
Hello
hi,
so
I
was
on
the
audio
committee
too,
and
the
way
we
are
going
through
the
process
that
this
time
we
got
an
update
of
policy
inventory
and
plan
and
every
audio
committee
meeting
we
will
be
going
through
the
different
part
of
the
internal
audits
and
then
on
the
27th
of
october.
Q
I
am
the
rep
for
the
our
region
from
the
santa
clara
county,
recycling
and
waste
reduction
committee,
so
this
committee
is
working
on
receiving
information
from
the
health
recycle
for
because
january
first,
there
will
be
new
regulations
on
organic
waste
collection
and
our
businesses
and
the
government
agencies
need
need
to
comply
with
a
lot
of
new
regulations
and
they
have
simple
ordinances
and
policies
for
the
city
staff
to
follow.
Thank
you.
R
Yeah
no
committee
assignments
this
time.
I'll
just
say,
though,
that
the
silicon
valley
community
is
working
on
more
power,
purchase
agreements
to
reduce
the
greenhouse
gas
emissions,
so
I'll
keep
you
updated.
A
Great,
thank
you
very
much
councilman
willie,
so
I
have
three
items
to
report
out
on
so
vta.
Our
board
meeting
is
next
actually
on
thursday
in
two
days,
but
they
do
have
a
self-assessment
that
they
take
the
board
members
through,
I
believe,
on
an
annual
basis,
and
so
I'm
happy
to
report
out
that
that
process
continues.
I
know
vta
board
is
subject
to
scrutiny
and
calls
for
restructuring,
but
they
are
on
ongoing
basis,
looking
to
see
what
they
can
do
to
improve
infrastructure
and
the
other
parts
of
the
agency.
A
A
We
do
have
a
subcommittee
with
regard
to
the
city
manager
search
right
now,
and
so
I
had
a
task
there
that
had
to
be
done
and
so
I'll
ask
our
interim
city
manager
greg
larson
to
speak
to
any
items
of
note
from
our
district
attorney
jeff
rosen,
who
was
also
there
on
our
west
valley,
mayors
and
managers.
Meeting
that
day
and
the
following
day
on
october
28th,
the
west
valley
mayor's
manager's
meeting,
was
on
october
27th.
A
I'm
not
sure
if
I
said
that
we
had
a
library
jpa
meeting
and
we
had
the
nominating
committee
meeting
beforehand.
The
nominating
committee,
as
with
a
lot
of
these
various
boards
makes
recommendations
as
to
who
should
be
the
chair
and
the
vice
chair
and
similar
to
us.
They
do
this
on
an
annual
basis,
and
so
the
nominating
committee
comprised
of
the
current
chair,
the
current
vice
chair
and
myself.
You
know
recommended
that
the
current
chair
stay
as
the
chair
and
the
current
vice
church
state
as
chair.
A
So
when
we
took
it
to
the
board
meeting
afterwards,
it
is,
it
was
confirmed
that
the
chair
supervisor,
mike
wasserman,
will
remain
the
chair
and
the
vice
chair
council,
member
lynette,
leeing
of
los
altos,
will
remain
the
vice
chair
of
the
board
that
serves
the
county
library
system,
of
which
cupertino
is
a
part
so
other
than
that
county
library
system
is
doing
great,
obviously,
as
a
crown
jewel
of
the
system-
and
I
say
that
you
know
without
pride-
I
think
it's
just
a
fact.
A
The
cupertino
library
branch
is,
you
know
up
in
circulation.
A
The
services
are
right
on
the
edge
of
what
we
can
provide
safely
and
I
believe
that
the
evening
hours
that
they
haven't
been
implemented
yet
are
just
about
to
be
implemented
as
well,
so
you'll
be
pleased
to
know
that
we'll
be
opening
up
until
9
pm,
if
not
already,
then
in
the
very
soon
future
on
some
of
these
days.
So
that's
my
report
out.
A
The
next
item,
as
we
had
mentioned
before,
is
interim
city
manager,
larson's
report,
and
this
started
as
emergency
updates,
but
this
is
really
more
of
a
general
omnibus
request
and
so
greg.
You
know,
I
know
we
asked
you
to
pack
a
lot
into
it
on
top
of
the
other
things,
so
you
know,
please
feel
free
to
perhaps
use
a
little
bit
more
time
than
your
allocated
five
minutes
here.
T
Great
thank
you,
mr
mayor
and
members
of
the
council.
First,
some
announcements
from
your
city
staff.
First
from
parks
and
recreation.
The
2021
artist
awards
program
from
the
fine
arts
commission
is
now
accepting
applications.
T
There's
three
categories
for
distinguished
artists,
emerging
artists
and
young
artists,
and
I
highlight
this
tonight
because
applications
are
due
on
november
17th,
councilmember
moore.
We
see
your
artwork
behind
you,
but
you
probably
can't
apply
at
least
not
as
a
sitting
council
member.
We
also
want
to
announce
from
the
parks
and
recreation
department
that
one
of
the
work
program
items
we'll
be
presenting
tonight
is
also
going
online
for
public
input.
T
The
senior
resources
availability
survey
is
now
available
online
at
engagecupertino.org
and
it
is
to
identify
the
needs
and
wants
and
the
level
of
awareness
of
current
services
and
resources
already
provided
in
cupertino
for
our
senior
population
and
that
survey
will
be
open
until
december
3rd.
So
the
artist
awards
november
17th
senior
survey
through
december
3rd
and
with
the
welcome
advent
of
rain
in
the
last
couple
weeks,
it's
a
great
opportunity
to
remind
our
public
that
unfilled
sandbags
are
available
throughout
the
county
for
any
flooding
protection.
T
You
want
to
do
on
your
own
property
here
in
cupertino
they're
available
at
the
city
corporation
yard.
We
call
it
the
city
service
center
at
10,
50,
10,
555,
mary
avenue,
and
if
you
do
have
any
flooding
incidents
on
your
street,
you
can
call
the
city
service
center
during
the
business
hours
or
county
communications
at
408
299-2507,
and
they
will
deploy
city
staff
as
need
be
to
address
those
issues.
T
One
of
my
other
items
from
public
works
that
came
up
about
a
month
ago,
staff
reported
to
council
that
our
crossing
guard
vendor
that
provides
crossing
guards
at
16
locations
was
in
the
city
of
cupertino,
was
unable
to
fill
one
of
those
locations
and
they
had
somebody
in
the
pipeline
that
appointment
did
not
work
out,
so
we
are
still
missing.
One
crossing
guard
at
stevens
creek
elementary,
our
vendor
and
other
vendors
throughout
the
bay
area,
are
facing
this
staffing
challenge.
T
That's
part
of
the
retail
direct
services
industry,
staffing
challenge
we've
heard
about
in
the
mass
media.
Fortunately,
our
sheriff's
office
has
agreed
to
provide
an
increased
presence
during
pick-up
and
drop-off
hours
at
stevens,
creek
elementary
as
other
caseloads
allow.
Obviously,
if
there's
a
crisis
they're
responding
to,
they
need
to
deal
with
that,
but
they
will
increase
their
presence
until
that
position
is
staffed
on
an
ongoing
basis.
T
In
terms
of
our
covet
situation,
it
is
continuing
to
be
relatively
strong
for
cupertino.
We
remain
the
jurisdiction
with
the
average,
the
highest
vaccination
rate
in
the
county
per
capita.
T
T
T
T
First
council
member
moore,
already
presented
on
the
batte
brothers
that
went
to
erc.
That
is
a
current
application
going
through
the
process,
not
agendized
for
council
discussion
at
this
time,
but
it
will
potentially
be
coming
to
the
council
at
some
point,
so
we
council
has
already
received
information
and
will
receive
more
main
street.
T
However,
since
we
had
a
number
of
speakers
and
council
members
on
that,
I
wanted
to
provide
a
little
additional
information
first,
as
was
mentioned
previously,
there
is
a
40
requirement
in
the
original
approval
as
the
maximum
per
restaurant
that
maximum
has
not
yet
been
exceeded.
However,
we
do
not
have
an
application
in.
Like
many
of
the
speakers
mentioned,
there
is
word
of
foot
that
an
application
is
worth
coming.
We
expect
something
by
the
end
of
the
month.
T
It
will
require
a
traffic
study,
an
impact
study,
as
mentioned
previously,
for
any
request
to
have
increased
restaurant
uses.
However,
this
is
a
discretionary
action
by
the
city.
There
is
no
requirement
that
the
city
approve
the
request
when
it
comes
in
and
beyond
the
traffic
study.
The
city
will
consider
other
factors
as
well
before
making
a
recommendation
for
any
action
on
that
application
and
we'll
keep
the
council
in
public
informed
as
we
learn
about
that
application
coming
forward
and
in
terms
of
our
district
attorney.
T
Mr
mayor
from
the
west
valley,
mayors
and
management
meeting,
he
was
just
letting
us
know
about
the
good
work
being
done
to
protect
the
residents.
There
were
questions
from
multiple
cities
about
the
car,
break-ins
and
fests
of
bikes
and
what
are
now
called
lower
level
crimes
under
the
thousand
dollar
metric
that
900
metric
that
receive
less
prosecutorial
attention
and
those
are
were
obviously
shared
as
concerns
from
cities
throughout
the
west
valley.
A
Thank
you
so
much
greg
greatly
appreciate
it,
and
so
I'm
gonna
go
ahead
and
back
up
one
step.
I
wanted
to
accredit
ed
von
running
for
providing
the
photo.
That's
now.
In
my
background,
his
parents,
ed
and
sally,
took
that
in
1948-
and
you
know
when
I
get
up
you'll,
be
able
to
see
the
the
sign
with
the
population
elevation.
A
So
thanks
very
much
that
was
item
number
five,
we're
on
to
the
consent
calendar
when
anyone
from
council
like
to
move
the
consent
calendar,
that's
items
six
through
ten
and
I
see
councilmember
moore
with
a
hand
up.
Would
you
like
to
move
consent,
yeah
so
moved
right?
Would
anyone
like
to
second
councilmember
way.
F
A
Great,
I
don't
see
any
other
hands
raised
for
discussion,
and
so,
madam
city
clerk,
would
you
please
conduct
a
roll
call
vote
for
the
motion
on
the
table.
A
A
Great
thanks
very
much
so
let
us
go
on
to
item
number
11,
which
I
believe
is
second
reading
of
ordinances.
But
let
me
go
ahead
and
confirm
that,
yes,
it
is
consideration
of
the
second
reading
of
ordinance
number
21-2232
regarding
amendments
for
environmental
regulations
related
to
various
environmental
protection,
requirements
for
construction,
development
and
other
similar
or
related
activities,
and
so
let's
go
ahead
and
start
with
any
potential
updates
from
city
staff.
I
have
no
reason
to
think
there
are
any.
A
I
do
see
actually
a
hand
raised
now,
so
let's
go
ahead
and
and
go
to
francis
who
I
will
remind
the
members
of
the
public
that
for
any
item,
you'll
have
three
minutes
to
speak
and
by
the
time
the
first
person
concludes
speaking
you'll
need
to
have
your
hand
raised
in
order
to
be
in
the
line
to
speak,
and
so
francis
welcome.
This
is
item
number
11.
The
second
reading
of
ordinances.
A
Okay.
I
don't
see
you
unmuting
yourself,
but
we'll
give
you
another
moment.
U
A
A
Sorry,
sorry,
that's
not
going
to
get
you
in
the
door
on
item
number
11.,
however,
I
I
haven't
made
a
commitment
if
we
have
time
at
the
end
of
our
meeting,
to
reopen
oral
communications,
and
so
thank
you
very
much
I'll
go
ahead
and
bring
this
back
to
the
council
and
madam
city
clerk.
Would
you
please
conduct
the
second
reading
of
ordinance
number
21-2232.
A
Okay,
thank
you
very
much,
madam
city
clerk,
and
so
would
anyone
like
to
make
a
motion
with
regard
to
the
second
reading
and
enactment
in
an
omnibus
motion,
madam
councilmember
moore.
S
Okay,
just
to
clarify
that
the
first
part's
already
been
taken
care
of
the
the
part
I
move,
that
ordinance
number
21-2232
be
read
by
title
only
and
that
the
city
clerk's
reading
constitutes
the
second
reading
thereof.
That
seems,
like
that's
already
been
taken
care
of,
so
I
moved
that
organ
or
ordinance
number
21-2232
be
enacted.
A
Okay,
so
the
first
part
you
still
have
to
move
it,
and
the
second
part
is
the
second
part
of
an
omnibus
motion.
So
are
you
willing
to
move
both
of
those
items
that
you
just
read.
S
Correct
it's
just
a
little
a
little
confusing
to
have
heard
the
reading
already.
It
sounded
like
we
already
had
done
that,
but
thank
you
yeah.
So
that's
something.
A
So
so,
just
to
clarify
the
procedural
part
of
it,
so
the
city
clerk,
whether
it's
first
reading
or
second
reading,
makes
the
first
reading
first
and
I
apologize
for
not
being
consistent
about
that
over
the
course
of
the
year.
But
it's
always
the
city
clerk's
role
to
put
that
reading
on
the
table,
and
then
you
reference
it
in
the
motion,
which
is
how
our
you
know,
boilerplate
motions
are,
are
constructed.
S
A
Perfect
would
anyone
like
to
second
council
member
moore's
motion
council
member?
I
willie-
I
actually
saw
your
hand
raised
before
I
saw
the
electronic
hand
raised,
cancel
my
way
so
council,
member
willie.
Would
you
like
a
second
okay?
Thank
you,
councilmember,
willie
and
so
councilman
way.
I
promise
next
time
you're
in
a
close
race.
F
A
Thanks
so
much
okay,
so
I
don't
see
any
further
hands
raised
at
this
point,
madam
city
clerk,
would
you
please
conduct
the
roll
call
vote
for
this
motion.
A
A
Item
number
12
is
regarding
the
future
of
our
municipal
water
system,
also
known
colloquially
as
the
mona
vista
system,
and
it's
a
consideration
of
one
key
lease
terms
for
a
new
long-term
lease
to
the
first
amendment
of
the
current
lease
agreement
with
san
jose
water
company
to
extend
the
term
up
to
three
years
and
three:
a
request
to
increase
the
public
works
administration's
special
projects,
budget
allocation,
and
so
forgive
me,
mr
interim
city
manager,
larson.
I
know
you
you
give
me
a
cheat
sheet
of
people
to
call
upon.
A
T
T
It
was
at
one
of
my
first
meetings
with
the
city
council
in
july
that
staff
brought
forward
consideration
of
the
water
lease
for
the
city's
municipal
facilities
that
serve
a
third
of
the
city,
and
the
city's
message
to
staff
was
quite
clear
to
have
a
very
strong
and
competitive
rfp
process
to
get
the
best
proposals
possible
to
bring
back
for
council
consideration
next
spring
and
the
work
we've
done
since
that
council
meeting.
It
will
be
presented
to
you
tonight
by
director
lee
and
I
think
it
fulfills
that
direction
in
a
number
of
ways.
T
First,
we
have
done
outreach
to
both
public
and
private
water
utilities
to
encourage
interest
in
submitting
proposals
for
the
cupertino
system,
and
we
are
optimistic
of
having
a
competitive
array
of
service
providers
and
the
terms
we're
bringing
you
tonight
for
that
lease
is
to
maximize
that
competition.
Second,
for
the
council's
direction.
T
In
this
rfp
process,
we
had
to
lock
down
options
for
the
council
for
the
future,
so
your
staff
working
with
san
jose
water,
has
proposed
three
tiers
of
potential
lease
extensions
that
are
solely
at
the
city's
discretion
to
meet
various
competitive
advantages.
Should
the
council
choose
to
go
forward
with
that?
V
Thank
you
yes,
good
evening,
mayor
paul
council
members.
Thank
you
for
the
introduction
city
manager,
greg
larson,
roger
lee,
director
of
public
works,
and
I've
been
looking
forward
to
presenting
this
item
to
the
city
council
this
evening.
Please
expect
this
presentation
to
be
about
10
minutes
in
length
plus
the
time
necessary
to
respond
to
questions
and
receive
input
at
the
end
of
the
presentation.
V
V
So
the
first
is
as
as
the
mayor
and
craig
mentioned,
your
input
on
key
these
terms
for
a
new
lease
to
conduct
a
public
hearing
to
consider
the
first
amendment
and
to
adopt
the
resolution
regarding
the
first
amendment.
There
is
a
fourth
action,
as
mentioned
by
the
mayor.
It
includes
including
the
staff
report.
This
recommended
action
is
to
approve
budget
modification,
increasing
appropriations
and
public
works
administration
special
projects
by
thirty
one
thousand
five
hundred
for
the
municipal
water
system.
V
To
begin
this
presentation
and
to
provide
some
perspective
of
the
water
system
serving
cupertino,
the
following
slide
shows
the
service
area.
Maps
of
the
city
for
your
orientation.
North
is
up
on
this
slide.
The
area
to
the
left
and
purple
is
the
cupertino
municipal
water
system,
which
I
will
refer
to
as
water
system,
going
forward,
it's
owned
by
the
city
of
cupertino,
and
this
is
what
is
released
currently
to
the
san
jose
water
company.
V
On
top
and
in
the
green
area,
is
the
water
system
owned
and
operated
by
california,
water
service
company
and
the
lower
orange
area?
Is
the
system
owned
and
operated
by
san
jose
water
company
as
the
leasi
of
the
water
system
shown
in
purple
san
jose
water
company
is
responsible
for
all
operations,
including
repair
maintenance,
operation,
customer
service,
billing
emergency
service
and
water
quality
testing.
V
V
Additionally,
city
council
directed
staff
to
analyze
the
feasibility
of
in-house
operation
and
what
impact
if
any
in-house
operation
would
affect
future
water
rates.
For
a
perspective
of
where
staff
is
on
this
process
of
the
request
for
proposals,
this
next
slide
provides
a
time
frame
of
where
we
are
now
and
for
context.
As
mentioned
prior,
the
current
25
year
release
began
in
97
and
in
december
of
2019.
The
current
lease
was
amended.
V
V
This
slide
discusses
the
proposed
capital
improvements
to
the
water
system
and
how
these
improvements
are
proposed
to
be
paid
for
by
the
city
receiving
a
one-time
concession
fee
from
the
successful
operator.
In
the
current
lease,
a
one-time
concession
fee
was
required,
as
well
as
the
requirement
to
receive
an
annual
rent.
This
combination
is
is
proposed
again
for
the
new
long-term
release,
with
the
added
requirement
that
the
one-time
concession
fee
from
the
successful
system
operator
be
used
only
for
capital
improvements
to
the
water
system.
V
V
The
slide
is
how
operations
are
being
proposed.
The
key
terms
shown
on
this
slide
are
like
the
current
lease
agreement.
However,
it
is
planned
to
separate
out
maintenance
work
from
repair
work.
Maintenance
work,
such
as
that
required
for
valves,
hydrants
or
meters,
would
be
the
sole
responsibility
and
to
be
provided
at
no
cost
to
the
city
by
the
operator.
Operations,
customer
service
and
water
quality
would
be
in
the
same
category.
V
V
The
cost
to
perform
this
work
will
also
be
the
sole
responsibility
of
the
operator
and
provided
to
the
city
at
no
cost
item
number
four
on
the
slide.
Other
operational
terms
are
also
being
developed
with
the
assistance
of
our
consultant
for
the
benchmarking
of
standards
for
for
required
system.
Maintenance
examples
include
requirements
of
when
mainline
water
valves
should
be
exercised
or
the
frequency
of
the
storage
tanks
are
to
be
repainted.
V
Now
this
side
slide
is
on
how
the
setting
of
rates
are
being
proposed.
Like
the
current
lease
that
was
amended
in
20
of
19,
it
is
proposed
that
water
rates
for
a
new
long-term
lease
be
capped
at
the
lowest
california,
public
utility
commission
cpuc
approved
rates
for
other
water
customers
within
cupertino.
V
This
proposal
will
ensure
that
the
water
rates
imposed
by
an
operator
remain
just
reasonable
and
non-discriminatory
all
water
rate
revenue
charge.
Revenues
will
continue
to
go
to
the
operator
of
the
water
system
and,
as
this
has
already
been
applied
to
customers
of
the
water
system,
we
know
that
when
this
cap
is
pla
is
placed,
it
results
in
the
customers
paying
slightly
less
due
to
the
cpuc
regulation
fee
not
being
applicable.
As
a
result,
customers
of
the
water
system
are
currently
paying
1.43
less
than
their
neighbors
connected
to
a
different
system.
V
Now,
the
last
way
that
the
city
has
proposed
to
receive
dollars
is
through
the
continued
charging
franchise
fee.
The
current
lease
requires
the
water
system
operator
to
pay
annually
two
percent
of
gross
revenues
as
a
franchisee,
and
this
is
codified
in
our
municipal
code
for
both
california,
water
service
company
and
san
jose
water
company.
However,
since
it
is
not
known
who
may
operate
the
water
system
in
the
future,
it
is
proposed
that
the
operator
pay
the
same
annual
fee
to
the
city.
V
Receipt
of
this
fee
will
be
used
to
offset
the
staffing
costs
necessary
to
manage
the
new
long-term
lease
all
right.
So
this
is
the
summary
of
the
key
terms
being
proposed
for
the
new
long-term
agreement
and
in
the
next
slide,
the
terms
of
the
first
agreement.
First,
amendment
of
the
current
lease
and
why
it
is
being
recommended,
are
discussed.
V
On
the
beginning
of
the
presentation
we
outlined
that
the
request
for
proposals
will
occur
next
month.
The
council.
Consideration
of
this
option
is
tentative
for
next
february,
in
the
direction
received
last
july
from
council
staff
was
directed
to
conduct
an
analysis
of
the
in-house
operations,
and
this
analysis
is
ongoing
and
will
be
completed
by
early
next
year
and
parallel
to
that
work,
staff
is
discussing
the
potential
interest
and
complementary
benefits
of
a
memorandum
of
understanding,
with
either
the
city
of
santa
clara
or
more
likely,
the
city
of
sunnyvale,
as
we
have
adjacency
to
their
system.
V
All
of
this
information,
as
all
this
information
comes
together,
the
proposals
from
water
operators,
the
analysis
of
city
operation
and
what
synergy
the
city
could
benefit
with
an
adjacent
agency
staff
will
be
able
to
evaluate
all
options
together
and
provide
a
recommendation
to
council
to
consider,
as
has
been
stated
in
february,
this
is
an
aggressive
schedule
that
we
are
trying
to
hold
authorization
of
the
first
amendment
will
provide
this
city
flexibility
at
its
sole
discretion,
as
greg
mentioned.
If
the
city
receives
good
proposals
and
all
is
in
order,
no
time
extension
would
occur.
V
The
proposals
need
to
be
redone
and
there's
the
option
to
extend
six
months
to
go
back
out
to
rfp,
and
if
we
decided
to
staff
up
for
city,
operation
or
other
alternatives,
the
city
will
have
the
discretion
to
extend
two
or
as
much
as
three
years
and
the
if,
in
the
event,
there
is
an
extension,
the
first
amendment
does
require
san
jose
water
company
to
make
capital
improvements
to
our
system.
These
are
in
the
amounts
of
350
000
for
a
six-year
extension,
1.6
million
for
a
two-year
extension
and
2.5
million
for
a
three-year
extension.
V
On
this
slide,
the
outreach
that
has
occurred
for
this
item
is
listed.
Public
notice
was
published
in
the
courier
last
month
and
a
web
page
was
created
that
contains
many
of
the
attachments
that
are
included
in
the
staff
report,
plus
an
faq
page.
Additionally,
a
news
article
was
published
on
the
city's
main
webpage.
V
So
if
the
schedule
holds
as
anticipated
for
the
upcoming
rfp
city
council
will
in
february
consider
the
future
operation
of
the
water
system,
including
the
potential
to
operate
the
system
of
city
staff
accordingly,
making
those
decisions
are
not
the
actions
to
consider
for
this
evening.
In
the
staff
report,
there
are
four
distinct
action
items
you
know.
The
first
is
yours,
and
the
community's
input
on
the
key
leaks
terms
for
for
the
new
long
term,
lease
and
the
actions
noted,
are
on
the
slide.
As
previously
mentioned.
V
Oh
and
I'll
go
back,
one
apologies.
Now
there
is
a,
and
lastly,
there
is
the
fourth,
the
fourth
action
to
approve
the
budget
modification
of
thirty
one
thousand
five
hundred
dollars.
V
I
want
to
mention
mayor
that
we
do
have
in
attendance,
claire
gibson
and
alexander
barnhill
they're
consulting
attorneys
as
jarvis
faye
and
gibson
they're
attending
and
also
available
for
questions.
So
thank.
A
You
thank
you
director
lee
thank
you
for
being
here
as
well,
claire
and
alexandra.
Let's
go
ahead
and
bring
this
over
to
members
of
the
public
before
we
bring
it
to
council,
we'll
go
ahead
and
take
that
input
first
before
we
bring
it
for
questions
and
comments.
A
Before
we
entertain
a
motion,
I
see
one
hand
from
the
public
raised
that
is
rhoda
fry
I'll,
remind
everyone
that
you'll
need
to
have
your
hand
raised
before
roda
is
done
speaking
in
order
to
be
in
line
to
speak
on
this
item,
number
12.,
and
so
rhoda.
Welcome
and
you'll
have
three
minutes.
W
Good
evening,
council
members,
thank
you
for
the
presentation.
Mr
lee.
San
jose
water
is
a
for-profit
company,
and
it
seems
to
me
that
there
are
a
couple
of
gaps
in
the
contract
that
I
think
could
be
filled.
Perhaps
the
city
attorney
can
weigh
in
first
there
don't
seem
to
be
any
alarms
if
there's
a
sudden
waste
of
water
by
a
san
jose
water
company
customer,
for
instance,
as
you
know,
I'm
very
familiar
with.
What's
going
on
with
the
with
the
quarry.
So
here
we
go.
W
Lehigh
had
a
had
a
water
issue
where
the
some
device
didn't
shut
off,
so
they
wound
up,
spilling
two
and
a
half
million
gallons
of
water
into
the
permanent
day.
Creek
watershed
over
a
period
of
five
days
and
san
jose
water
evidently
would
have
known
that
this
happened,
however,
raised
no
alarms.
W
It
would
happen
to
be
have
been
discovered
by
somebody
downstream.
So
with
all
the
technology
that
we
have.
I
would
think
that
that
something
could
happen
if
there
was
a
major
spill,
and
the
only
thing
that
did
happen
is
that
lehigh
had
to
pay
a
bigger
water
bill
and,
oh
by
the
way
they
get
a
really
big
discount,
because
they're
a
big
customer,
so
they
don't
pay
as
much
water
per
gallon
than
than
I
do,
which
doesn't
seem
very
fair.
W
What
about
going
to
for
cupertino
customers
now
keep
in
mind
that
steven
street
quarry,
for
instance,
is
not
a
customer
of
san
jose
water
that
the
the
water
pipes
don't
go
out
that
far
to
out
to
the
reservoir,
people
typically
have
their
well
water.
Unfortunately,
some
well
water
is
running
out
and
stevens
creek
quarry
is
now
purchasing
water
from
a
hydrant
within
the
san
jose
water
district.
W
So
technically,
that's
our
water
and
I
wonder
about
how
that
counts
against
us
in
terms
of
water
usage,
what
the
consequences
would
be
should
the
city
of
cupertino
be
compensated
more
for
when
somebody
outside
of
cupertino
service
area
uses
water
that
should
have
been
allocated
to
us?
So
that's
my
comment
for
this
evening
and
I
thank
you
very
much.
A
Thank
you
rhoda.
I
don't
see
any
other
hands
raised
from
the
public
and
so
we'll
bring
this
back
to
council
for
any
follow-up
questions.
We're
doing
quite
well
on
time,
and
so
I
will
go
ahead
and
keep
track
just
let
people
know
and
to
have
a
fair
allocation.
R
Yeah
more
or
less
pertaining
to
rhoda.
Our
resident's
question
is
I'd
sure
like
to
allocate
a
little
of
my
time
to
roger
to
help
clarify
if,
in
fact,
the
cupertino
water
is
being
used
by
a
non-cupertino
entity.
If
roger
can
answer
that,
and
then
I
have
a
follow-up
question.
V
Thank
you,
councilmember
willie
yeah.
The
short
answer
is,
is
yes,
you
know.
The
city
is
aware
that
stevens
creek
cory
is
pulling
water
out
of
a
fire
hydrant
with
a
hydrant
meter
that
has
been
issued
by
san
jose
water
company,
as
is
practice
to
a
variety
of
contractors
who
would
have
hydro
similar
hydra
meters,
they're
using
it
for
the
purpose
for
for
dust
abatement.
This
will
be
prior
to
the
rain
to
meet
their
air
quality
requirements.
R
So
the
follow-up
question
you
actually
kind
of
touched
on
it.
You
know
the
emails
that
we
got
from
another
resident
who
is
concerned
that
you
know
potable
water
is
being
used
for
street
cleaning
and
activities
like
that
that
I
would
have
thought
should
be
coming
from
reclaimed
water
on
the
purple
pipes.
Is
that
the
case
that
good
water
is
being
used
in
street
sweepers
versus
reclaimed,
water.
V
Yes,
that
is
the
case.
I
mean
we
are
using
potable
water,
but
it
you
know
the
reclaimed.
Water
has
a
high
chlorine,
chloramine
residual
that
you,
you
don't
want
that
into
the
storm
drain
system.
There
is
a
much
smaller
residual
in
potable
water,
so
I
mean
the
water
is
used
very
judiciously,
but
I'm
not
aware
that
recycled
water
that
you
would
want
to
use
that
for
for
street
sweeping
best
best
control.
R
R
V
I'm
not
familiar
with
the
rate
differences
for
that
use
versus,
say
a
residential
use.
I
I
will
point
out
that,
in
the
in
the
key
terms
in
that
attachment
d,
that
we
we
are
thinking
that
having
the
the
city
specifically
authorized,
the
use
of
water
outside
our
service
area,
it
is,
is
desirable
so
that
that
is.
That
is
a
condition
that
we
are
going
to
have
in
the
new
lease.
T
Q
Okay,
so,
following
up
on
a
council
member
with
his
questions,
so
could
you
confirm
whether
lehigh
is
paying
it's
a
discount
or
companies
like
industrial
use,
do
get
a
discount
rate
compared
with
other
retail
customers.
V
I
I
don't
know
that
information
off
of
hand.
I
can
look
up
the
san
jose
rates
to
see
what
that
is.
I'm
not
aware
that
there
is
a
is
a
discount.
I
know
that
the
service
charge,
the
meter
sizes
are
quite
expensive
for
those
larger
water
services,
but
I
can
definitely
follow
up
and
get
that
information
so.
Q
We
own
the
water
system.
Does
the
lehigh
rely
on
our
water
system
to
deliver
those
water.
V
I
need
to
confirm
the
size
of
meter
that
that
lehigh,
even
has
you,
know,
they're
outside
of
our
city
limits.
So
I
would.
I
would
need
to
investigate
what
lehigh's
connection
is.
Q
Or
or
do
they
get
their
water
from
elsewhere?
Yeah,
please
give
them
update
and
also
on
the
question
of
some
some
of
our
residences
still
use
well
water,
because
the
current
water
pipe
doesn't
go
far
enough
and
the
whale
waters
are
draining
up,
and
now
there
are
their
concerns.
Lehigh
is
buying
up
water
that
could
have
been
used
by
residences.
So
is
that
a
valid
concern
that
they
are
actually
buying
up
water
that
should
have
been
used
for
residential
or
I
am?
V
Q
Okay
and
then
you
said
that
reclaimed:
water
is
not
desirable
for
stormwater
system,
but
then
on
wages
all
going
to
use
purple
pipe
and
that's
so
if
they
are,
if
their
chlorine
level
is
high
and
not
desirable,
how
come
the
whole
state
is
moving
that
direction.
V
Well,
that's
that's!
For
the
for
the
efficient
use
of
landscape,
watering
of
landscape
and
turf,
you
know,
which
is
to
be
have
go,
run,
run
off
into
the
storm
water
system
and
that's
a
great
use
for
recycled
water.
Q
Okay,
so
then
what
decisions
you
need
from
us
today
on?
I
think
the
staff
report
mentioned
the
key
terms
in
the
agreement.
V
Yeah
just
to
make
sure
that
we
we
heard
the
direction
from
from
july.
Regarding
the
term,
you
know
some
of
those
key
points
with
operations-
maintenance
repair-
that's
just
outlined.
You
know
our
planned
drafting
of
the
lease
just
so
that
we
can
get
your
input
prior
to
it
going
out
next
later,
on
this
month,.
Q
V
Yeah,
if
you,
if
there's
anything,
you
know
contrary
to
what's
been
articulated
in
my
presentation
or
this
in
the
draft
these
terms,
it
would
be
timely
to
do
so
before
we
get
the
lease
out.
Okay,
thank
you.
A
Thank
you
vice
mayor
ciao.
Next
we
have
council,
member
moore
vice
mayor,
ciao
you're
right
at
about
four
minutes
as
well.
S
Emails
that
we've
received
regarding
the
water
system-
and
I
didn't
see
them
in
the
written
communications-
they
didn't
necessarily
place
the
agenda
item
on
their
emails,
but
they've
been
writing
on
this
topic,
and
so
I'm
wondering
if
that
is
something
that
we
should
be
having
gathered
together
and
and
and
placed
in
the
written
communications
for
this
item
or
not,
I
I
don't.
Actually.
I
don't
know
what
you
what
you
do
in
this
instance.
A
Great
next
we
have
council,
member
willie
and
councilmember
moore
you're
at
about
a
minute.
At
this
point,
councilmember
willie.
R
Yeah,
so
I
think
what
I'm
hearing
in
the
presentation
is
that
public
works
is
exploring
the
option
that
maybe
at
some
point
in
the
future,
it
might
be
worthwhile
for
the
city
to
run
the
water
system.
Am
I
correct
there.
V
R
R
Great
and
what
do
you
think
you'll
be
actually
giving
us
the
the
package
numbers
when
you
come
back
at
a
future
point
I
mean,
I
think
it
would
be
good
for
us
to
have
an
idea.
It's
going
to
take
this
many
people,
it's
going
to
cost
us
this
much
to
set
it
up,
and
this
would
be
the
ongoing
revenue
from
it.
T
R
T
Do
want
to
time
our
analysis
coming
to
council
in
a
way
that
gives
the
council
full
discretion
or
making
whatever
decision
the
council
determines
is
best
for
the
city,
but
doesn't
in
any
way
upend
the
rfp
process
so
that
we're
getting
the
best
proposals
possible.
So
right
now
we're
looking
at
a
timing
where
the
proposals
will
come
in
we'll
then
present
the
analysis
to
the
council
of
self-operation.
T
R
So
so,
just
kind
of
as
a
final
question,
if
we
were
in
fact
running
the
system,
would
we
be
able
to
you
know
we
we
can't
not
serve
customers
like
steven
street
foreign,
but
would
we
be
able
to
be
more
equitable
with
the
charging
rates?
What
yes
they're
large,
but
are
they
more
important
than
residents
in
terms
of
how
much
they
pay
for
their
water
needs?
And
so
I
I'm
concerned
I
so
what
do?
What
would
we
be
able
to
do.
V
Well,
if
the
analysis
came
back
council
member
willie
that
it
was
the
most
efficient
for
the
city
to
operate
the
system,
then
then
we
would,
we
would
be.
We
would
be
setting
regulating
our
own
rates
per
proposition
218
and
it
would
be
reflective
of
our
cost
to
operate
the
system.
V
Well,
let
me
get
back
to
confirm
if,
where
the
equity
issue
is
and
and
I'll
go
follow
up
on
that.
T
Great
we're
not
sure
we
are
doing
large
discounts.
I
just
want
to
clarify
that
that
was
a
postulate
from
public
comment.
Your
staff
cannot
verify
that,
so
I
just
don't
want
it
left
on
the
record
that
we
are
in
any
way
giving
large
discounts
or
satellite
water
is
giving
large
discounts
to
any
class
of
customers.
We
don't
know
if
that's
the
truth
or
not.
E
Right
and
just
let
me
also
clarify
that,
under
the
current
lease,
the
city
does
not
set
the
rates
they're
they're
set
independently
from
the
city.
A
Okay,
thanks
councilman,
well
you're
right
at
five
minutes
and
so
we'll
go
back
to
councilmember
way.
I
don't
think
you've
spoken.
F
Yourself,
sorry,
we
have
read
a
package
that
staff
reported
and
also
from
our
attorney's
assessments.
My
question
is:
it
looks
like
that
actually,
to
run
this
pipeline
by
ourselves
has
a
lot
of
challenges.
We
have
to
hire
staff
hire
equipment
we
cannot
set.
The
rate
is
really
set
by
the
state.
So
my
question
is
how
much
staff
time
and
maybe
outside
consulting,
we
need
to
do
this
analysis,
which,
from
what
I
read
so
far,
I
read
so
far.
F
F
E
Well,
so
I'll
have
I'll
have
to
defer
to
others
as
to
whether
it's
it's
a
profitable
thing
to
do.
I
think
there
is
some
incremental
cost
at
looking
at
the
additional
options.
I'm
not
aware
that
those
have
been
broken
out.
Roger
might
be
there
are
you
know
additional?
There
are
additional
costs
that
would
be
incurred
both
up
front
and
ongoing
to
operate.
T
We
have
already
engaged
the
consultant
to
do
the
work,
so
that's
kind
of
a
fixed
cost
in
terms
of
this
process,
and
it's
looking
at
the
issues
that
council
member
way
brought
up.
What
are
the
capital
costs?
What
are
the
staffing
costs?
What
are
the
operating
costs?
What
are
the
likely
revenues
that
would
accrue
to
the
city
for
self-operating?
T
T
It
may
be
the
whole
rate
sitting
process
and
the
one
clarification
I
wanted
to
offer
going
back
to
what
director
lee
said.
It's
not
that
the
california
puc
would
set
our
rates
except
the
city
would
have
to
go
through
a
prop
218
rate
setting
process
where
you
would
be
setting
the
rates
for
one-third
of
the
residents
of
cupertino,
while
the
other
two-thirds
would
be
set
by
the
water
companies
going
through
the
puc,
and
so
that
would
create
a
differential
between
one-third
of
your
population
and
two-thirds
of
your
population.
T
That
may
be
a
more
challenging
issue
that
the
council
will
have
to
consider
next
february
and
march.
We're
not
pre-judging
that
outcome
from
the
council.
We're
really
just
using
our
consultant
to
do
the
financial
analysis
so
that
we're
giving
the
council
the
best
options
available
to
have
the
most
competitive
rfp
process
possible.
V
V
You
know
in-house
operation
may
turn
out
to
be
quite
competitive,
and
you
know
it
may
it
may
show
that
there's
an
advantage
to
it
over
the
you
know
the
rfp
and
the
outside
operators.
So
you
know
they're
going
to
have
to
bring
us
some
very
competitive
proposals,
because
you
know
they
they
really
do
need
to
be
concerned
that
we
can
do
this
better
than
them.
F
Yet
all
right,
thanks
for
the
comments.
A
Thanks
councilmember
way,
you're
right
at
under
five
minutes
at
this
point,
so
I'll
go
back
to
vice
mayor
ciao.
Vice
mayor
ciao,
as
I
stated,
you
were
right
around
four
minutes
and
if
you
have
follow-ups
at
this
point,
I
I
did
want
to
ask
a
few
questions
myself
as
well,
but
please
please
go
ahead.
Q
Okay,
thank
you.
So
I
want
to
clarify.
I
think
we
started
this
process
of
exploring
other
options.
It
was,
you
know,
with
an
intention
to
possibly
look
at
whether
other
options
might
give
our
residents
a
cheaper
water
rate,
because,
right
now,
since
we
have
contracted
only
with
the
wholesale
watcher,
we
are
kind
of
being
had
only
one
option.
Q
So
I
think
even
though
yeah
it
does
cost
money
to
engage
the
consultant,
but
we
are
doing
our
due
diligence
to
make
sure
that
okay
for
the
next
10
20
years
this,
even
if
we
stay
with
san
jose
water,
we
would
know
that
we
would
support
the
options.
That's
still
the
best,
economical
way
for
our
residents
and
the
city.
So
I
think
that's
this.
What
this
exercise
is.
My
question
is
for
the
amendment
there
is
no
redline
virgin.
V
V
A
Great
thank
you
vice
mayor
ciao,
so
you're
at
your
your
five
minutes
and
let
me
go
ahead
and
start
my
clock
here.
A
You
know
I
want
to
focus
this
on
the
extended
lease
that's
being
proposed
here
so
so
let
me
see
if
I
have
this
correct
the
default
resolution
that
staff
is
recommending
has
a
three-year
lease
extension.
Is
that
correct?
A
Okay,
but
as
I'm
reading
this
as
it's
written
in
the
draft
resolution,
it
looks
like
what
we're
being
asked
to
do
is
well
we're
being
presented
a
pallet
of
options,
apparently
six
months,
if
we
need
more
time
to
find
a
new
lessee
one
two
years,
if
we
end
up,
if
we
end
up
taking
this
in-house
and
operating
the
water
system
on
our
own
and
then
three
years,
if
we
end
up
selling,
you
know
the
pipes
all
together.
A
V
Nice
and
I
see
that
claire
gibson,
her
screen's
on
they
all
let
claire
you,
you
answered.
A
Yeah,
so
am
I
right,
claire
you'll
have
to
unmute
your
mic
too.
So
would
it
be
three
years
if
we
just
move
what
the
staff
recommendation
is
here.
X
No
that
by
approving
the
the
resolution
and
the
attached
first
amendment
what
that
affords,
you
is
the
option
to
activate
one
or
none
of
those
extensions.
So
simply
approving
this
does
not
extend
the
lease
at
all.
However,
it
affords
you
the
option
to
say
gee.
A
X
The
three
the
three
options
are
six
months
two
years
and
three
years
and
they
are
at
the
city's
discretion
they're
optional,
although
the
description
in
your
staff
report
and
also
in
the
recitals
for
the
first
amendment,
give
rationales
that
tether
each
of
those
time
increments,
two
particular
actions.
The
the
draft.
Excuse
me,
the
the
first
amendment
itself
is
more
nuanced
and
gives
you
discretion.
H
A
Thank
you,
okay,
so
so,
if
it
ends
on
september
30th
of
next
year,
we
would
need
to
let
them
know
by
august.
31St
is:
is
the
lessee
amenable
to
this
first
amendment?
Has
anyone
talked
to
them?
A
Okay,
so
greg's
nodding
said
good,
so,
okay,
we
would
need
to
let
them
know
by
august
31st,
whether
we're
invoking
an
extension,
and
if
we
invoke,
if
we
invoke
six
months,
can
we
invoke
two
years
later
or
do
we
basically
just
have
one
opportunity
to
have
an
extension
that
goes
either
six
six
months
or
two
years
or
three
years.
X
H
A
T
Mr
moore,
I
just
wanted
to
add
I
I
think
part
of
why
we're
bringing
this
to
you
now
is
we
realized
if
we
waited
until
after
the
rfp
process
to
then
try
to
obtain
a
six-month
two-year
or
three-year
extension?
If
that's
what
the
council
wanted
it,
the
city.
A
A
So
with
regard
to
being
able
to
invoke
these
extensions,
if
we're
at
a
point
six
months
in
or
five
months
into
a
six-month
extension,
if
we
don't
have
an
option
of
extending
it
further
out,
then
my
concern
is
that
we're
limiting
some
of
our
options,
and
so
I
wonder
whether
we
would
be
able
to
take
a
look
at
this
and
provide
six
month
increments
or,
if
we're
at
six
months
with
30
days
notice,
to
extend
it
out
to
two
years
and
by
the
same
token,
if
we're
at
the
two
years,
with
a
30-day
notice
extended
out
to
three
years.
A
So
so
that's
my
that's
my
question
with
regard
to
how
this
lease
is
functioning,
but
I
realized
that,
given
these
three
different
options,
okay,
six
months
represents
if
we
need
more
time
to
lease
it
out
to
a
new
lease
through
a
bidding
process.
Two
years
represents,
if
we
are
trying
to
take
this
in-house
and
three
years
represents,
if
we're
trying
to
sell
off
the
pipes
altogether.
A
So
I
think
I
think,
if
we're
trying
to
go
ahead
and
look
for
an
extension
right
and
we're
six
months
in
into
a
new
term
so
six
months
out
from
september,
2022
is
something
like
march
or
so
of
2023,
and
if
we're,
if
we're
into
2023-
and
we
needed
that
extra
six
months
to
start
a
new
lease,
I
don't
think
we're
necessarily
going
to
be.
You
know,
like
switching
horses,
you
know
so
to
speak
in
the
middle
of
the
river
and
then
trying
to
you
know
bring
it
in
house.
A
But
I
would
like
to
have
a
situation
where
we
have
not
just
the
options
to
you
know
open
up
to
the
city
when
we
need
them,
but
also
sufficient
amounts
of
time
to
investigate,
particularly
what
the
cost
benefit
would
be
of
potentially
bringing
the
pipes
in
house.
I
don't
I.
A
I
know
we've
been
kind
of
dancing
around
this,
but
no
one
has
actually
done
a
cost
benefit
analysis,
and
I
appreciate
director
lee
for
pointing
out
the
fact
that
well,
yes,
actually
it
could
be
beneficial,
and
I
I
will
also
point
out
from
the
perspective
of
a
policy
maker,
that
you
know
it's
precisely
this
exercise
that
we
want
to
undertake
right,
I
mean
we
have
three
different
services:
three
different
classifications
of
water
supply
in
cupertino,
while
one
could
say
this
represents
lack
of
parity
and
you
know
a
different
rate
structure.
A
One
could
also
say
from
a
policy-oriented
perspective
that
this
represents
competition,
and
I
I
would
say
one
should
say
that
one
should
absolutely
say
that,
because
that's
the
opportunity
that
this
represents-
and
so
we
can
point
to
santa
clara-
and
I
know
you
can
ask
people
in
santa
clara
internally
and
they
will
give
you
the
comment
that
it's
a
mixed
bag.
It's
a
lot
of
work.
A
It
is
a
lot
of
work,
but
the
fact
of
the
matter
is,
I
mean,
if
you
have
the
wherewithal
to
you,
know
control
your
own
utility
with
any
jurisdiction.
I
think
that
makes
you
a
stronger
jurisdiction.
Personally,
I
I
like
to
keep
the
option
open.
I
want
to
investigate
out
the
possibility
of
bringing
the
pipes
in
house.
You
know
I
I
think
we
have
to
do
it.
A
But
at
this
point
let
me
ask
this
final
question:
does
either
staff,
or
one
of
our
you
know
outside
attorneys
from
jarvis
faye,
believe
that
we
are
at
a
critical
time
point
right
now,
where
we
have
to
make
a
decision
as
to
the
lease
extension-
and
I
say
this-
you
know
by
way
of
thanking
greg
our
interim
city
manager
for
bringing
this
forward
to
us
before
he.
He
begs
off
from
cupertino.
A
It's
been
a
great
four
or
five
months
so
far,
but
you
know,
like
you
say
you
turn
into
a
pumpkin
at
the
stroke
of
midnight
sometime
in
early
december.
So
you
know
thank
you
for
bringing
this
forward,
but
I
I
will
point
out
the
obvious:
you
know
if
we
have
a
new
city
manager,
you
know
in
in
the
near
term,
wouldn't
it
kind
of
make
sense
to
get
a
sense
of
where
the
wherewithal
and
capabilities
are,
for
you
know
the
person
managing
our
our
city
staff
at
that
point.
A
So
so
that's
a
question
I
mean.
Could
we
revisit
this
potentially
in
january
or
even
february,
with
regard
to
the
lease
extension
is?
Are
we
at
a
critical
time
point
right
now?
Do
we
have
to
make
a
decision
as
to
whether
we
do
six
months,
two
years
or
three
years,
and
you
know
be
able
to
give
that
notice
by
like
august
31st
of
2022,
or
can
we
put
off
this
decision
for
a
couple
of
months
here.
T
If
I
may
offer
a
first
response
mayor,
we
think
you're
on
a
critical
path
if
you
want
to
have
any
chance
on
the
rfp
completion
by
september
30th.
So
if
we
follow
the
current
lease
expiring
in
to
have
either
san
jose
water
or
a
new
service
provider
able
to
provide
services
to
a
third
of
the
city
as
of
the
termination
of
the
existing
lease,
it's
critical
that
the
rfp
go
out
within
a
month
month
or
two.
T
However,
no
decision
will
be
required
on
six-month
two-year
or
three
year
until
the
council
has
received
the
full
cost
benefit
analysis
of
doing
it
in-house,
as
well
as
the
proposals
from
we
believe
at
least
three
outside
parties
who
will
want
to
propose
on
operating
our
system.
So
I
would
argue
going
forward
now.
The
council
will
have
the
information
by
april
to
make
a
choice
of
at
least
one
of
four
service
providers.
Okay,.
A
Let
me
let
me
sorry
to
cut
you
off
greg.
Can
I
have
some
time
from
somebody
else,
because
everyone,
okay,
thank
you,
councilmember
moore,
well,.
S
I
do
have
one
one
point
of
clarification
for
you,
mayor
paul,
and
that
is:
do
you
have
some
input
for
the
key
lease
terms
beyond
are?
Are
you
making
a
request
for
something
beyond
the
six
month
two
year
and
three-year
item?
And
I
and
I
do
really
appreciate
the
the
conservative
effort
to
provide
a
lot
of
flexibility
for
us
here.
I
I
think
that
that's
really
helpful
and
I
and
you
and
I
you
staff,
heard
all
of
our
comments.
So
I
do.
A
I
definitely
appreciate
that
you
know
thank
you,
councilmember
moore,
yeah,
I'm
starting
your
time,
but
you
know
I
appreciate
being
able
to
use
some
of
your
additional
three
to
answer
your
question.
I
don't
have
comments
on
on
on
the
key
lease
terms
going
forward
for
the
for
the
long
term
lease
for
for
this
you
know.
I
I
see
things.
I
see
two
things
as
critical:
we
need
to
be
able
to
push
a
cost
benefit
analysis.
A
I
I
I
think
the
math
should
work
out
so
that
we
could
be
competitive
at
least,
but
you
know
in
terms
of
you
know,
trying
to
try
and
trying
to
preserve
our
options.
You
know
I,
I
think
our
options
are
really
a
matter
of
you
know
pushing
for
the
evaluation.
So
I'm
wondering
how
long
that
will
take
and
whether
staff
has
started
on
that
on
down
that
path
or
whether
we
need
to
okay,
so
greg
you're
nodding
your
head.
That's
great
yeah.
T
We've
already
started
the
analysis,
we're
timing
it
to
come
to
council
right
after
the
rfp
deadline.
We
don't
want
to
release
our
analysis
before
the
rfe
deadline,
because
then
the
private
parties
bidding
on
our
system
may
use
that
as
the
benchmarks
to
beat.
So
we
want
to
retain
the
council,
flexibility
and
discretion,
so
we're
timing
that
benefit
analysis
to
come
to
council
before
you
have
to
make
a
decision
on
a
private
service
provider.
T
A
Moore
you
still
have
about
a
minute
of
your
remaining.
You
know
additional
three
minutes.
I
see
no
other
hands
raised
at
this
point.
Did
anyone
else
want
to
okay?
I
have
a
final
question:
if
it's
okay
to
utilize,
okay,
great,
is
the
lease
extension
costing
us
anything.
Do
we
pay
anything
up
front
with,
or
do
we
simply
have
an
option?
That's
held
in
place
until
august
31st
to
invoke
one
of
these
six-year
six-month
two-year
or
three-year
lease
extension
terms.
A
Okay,
would
san
jose
water
have
any
rights
to
unilaterally
invoke
any
kind
of
an
extension,
or
you
know
require
us
to
have
any
kind
of
capital
expenditures
or
the
like.
V
A
H
A
Correct:
okay,
thanks
that
those
are
all
my
questions,
council,
member,
more
you
have
your
hand
raised
and
sorry
as
I
exhausted
all
your
time.
If.
A
S
I
I
just
want
to
understand
when
I
first
read
the
six
month
extension,
I
thought
it
was
only
350
000
and
then
1.6
million
for
the
two
year
and
and
then
two
and
a
half
million
for
the
three-year.
What
I
don't
understand
is
when
I'm
looking
at
the
actual
agreement,
it
looks
like
it's
saying:
5.35
million
for
a
total
expenditure
of
5.35
million
for
the
six
month
and
then
6.6
for
the
two
year
and
and
7.5
for
the
three
year.
Could
could
someone
explain
where
all
that
extra
funding
how
that
happened.
V
I
I'd
be
happy
to
it,
because
this
is
an
amendment
to
the
current
agreement
that
requires
5
million
of
capital
expenditures
at
by
the
end
of
the
current
lease
term
of
september.
All
those
numbers
represent
council
number
more.
As
the
you
know,
the
5
million
plus
350
000,
that's
the
5.35
for
six
months,
5
million,
plus
the
1.6
million,
which
is
the
two-year
extension
amount.
That's
the
6.6
and
the
2.5
plus
the
five.
That's
the
7.5.
So
it's
just
a
continuation
of
the
current
agreement.
S
Okay,
thank
you
roger,
but
I
thought
they
already
did
spend
the
5
million.
Is
that
not
true.
V
The
city
has
received
the
funds
and
they're
actively
working
on,
say
two
projects
right
now,
and
so
it
is.
It
is
anticipated
that
will
be
complete
by
september
of
next
year,
but
indicate
in
any
event,
the
city
holds
those
funds.
S
A
Okay,
you
know
without
any
further
hands
raised
I'll,
go
ahead
and
move
the
staff
recommendation.
I
mean,
unless,
unless
staff
can
tell
us
at
this
point
that
they
can
keep
some
options
open
for
us
specifically,
I
would
wonder
whether
we
could
change
the
extension
ability
for
us
to
say
at
the
end
of
the
six-month
term.
We
might
be
able
to
invoke
a
two
or
three
year,
total
extension,
which
is
to
say
okay,
so
september
october,
so
by
the
end
of
march.
I
think
it
is
that
would
be
the
six
month
extension.
A
We
would
give
30
days
notice
by
say
the
end
of
february
to
be
able
to
tell
san
jose
water.
We
would
want
to
invoke
two
or
three
years.
Do
you
think
that
that
would
take
a
significant
amount
of
changing
to
the
agreement
or
clarifying
negotiating
with
the
lessee?
At
this
point
I
mean.
H
T
It
would
be
a
negotiation.
I
will
tell
you.
We
had
multiple
rounds
to
get
to
the
proposal.
That's
before
you,
it
was
not
easy
negotiations,
but
I
do
think
we
have
a
cooperative
relationship
with
our
current
service
provider,
and
so
we
could
certainly
raise
that
issue.
T
I
also
wonder
and
claire
this
might
be
something
for
you,
a
side
letter
agreement,
maybe
just
for
a
six
month
extension
and
that
becomes
a
another
I'm
just
going
with
throwing
open
this
entire
agreement
rather
than
having
a
another
amendment.
X
E
A
See
you
know
I'm
just
trying
to
think
about
what
might
change
if
we
invoke
a
six-month
option
in
that
time,
because
I
guess
the
assumption
is
that
we
would
possibly
need
that
extra
time
to
transition
to
a
new
lease.
I
mean
it's,
it's
kind
of
like
a
a
really
nice
padded
contingency
right
I
mean
do
we
really
need
it?
It
would
be
safe
to
have
it,
but
I
guess
that's.
G
A
I
mean
it
doesn't
sound
like
we
would
be
able
to
sell
off
the
pipes
or
take
over
the
pipes
within
a
six-month
period,
so
that
doesn't
really
help
us
in
that
situation
right,
I
guess
we
would
need
to
basically
just
renegotiate
a
new
lease
altogether,
so
yeah.
J
A
Sequential
is
a
good
word
to
describe
it.
I
I
think
I
would
have
preferred
to
have,
at
the
end
of
the
six
month
period
the
ability
to
invoke
a
two
or
three
year
total.
You
know
extension,
but
you
know
that
not
being
the
case
at
this
point,
if
we
really
feel,
if
we're
being
advised
by
you,
know
our
staff
and
outside
counsel
that
we
are
at
a
bit
of
a
time
critical
point,
I'm
I'm
I'm
willing
to
go
forward.
You
know
to
move
the
staff
recommendation.
A
You
know.
I
will
note
that
we
are
not
obligated
to
invoke
any
of
these
terms.
Six
month
is
really
just
kind
of
a
comfort
in
case
we
get
a
new
lessee
or
a
new
contract
through
this
rfp
process,
and
it's
really
the
two
years
in
the
three
years
that
are
kind
of
the
the
key
elements
here.
Although
yeah
and
I
won't
push
back
on
whether
you
know
the
entirety
of
the
time
really
is
needed,
I
mean
you
know.
A
Perhaps
it
is,
but
you
know
I
I
do
wonder
what
happens
to
the
rates
within
that
interim
period
of
24
months
or
36
months,
but
in
any
event,
you
know,
council,
remember
more.
You
still
have
your
hand
raised.
Well,
let
me
let
me
let
me
bring
forward
the
motion
because
I'm
not
seeing
any
feedback
from
staff
at
this
point.
I'll
just
move
the
staff
recommendation
at
this
time.
Would
anyone
like
to
second
that
for
purposes
of
discussion,
councilmember
moore?
Are
you
please
just
make
an
affirmative
statement?
A
So,
second,
okay,
great
all
right
so
for
purposes
of
discussion.
Would
anyone
like
to
you
know
have
have
any
follow-ups
here?
It
doesn't.
A
So
well,
thank
you
very
much.
I
think
this
has
been
chock
full
of
great
information,
and
hopefully
mr
larson
you're
not
committing
your
successor
to
anything.
That's
too
much
of
a
mad
scramble
to
get
us
excellent
cost
benefits
analysis
and
make
cupertino
the
paradigm
of
how
to
run
your
own
excellent
utilities
like
we
do
everything
else
not
to
pat
ourselves
on
the
back
or
anything,
but
we
sure
deserve
it.
Okay,
so
thank
you
very
much
again,
madam
city
clerk,
could
you
please
conduct
the
roll
call
vote.
A
Aye,
okay,
we're
about
two
hours
into
our
meeting
at
this
point.
I'd
like
to
have
us
take
a
five
minute
break,
we'll
reconvene
at
nine
o'clock
and
we
only
have,
I
believe,
one
more
item
item
number
13
on
our
enumerated
agenda.
A
T
Great,
thank
you
very
much,
mr
mayor.
This
is
our
quarterly
update
on
the
work
program
that
the
city
council
adopted
last
may
and
unfortunately,
I
just
lost
my
copy
of
this
slide.
I'm
sharing
there.
It
is
so
so.
Here's
the
presentation
outline-
and
I
will
try
to
go
through
this
quickly,
mr
mayor,
and
not
walking
through
every
single
project
given
the
hour,
but
we
also
know
that
council
will
have
plenty
of
questions
at
the
end
and
all
of
your
department
directors
are
here
with
us
this
evening.
T
T
We
then
want
to
focus
primarily
on
this
year's
work
program
items
to
give
you
the
first
quarter
update
of
what
we've
done
in
the
first
three
months
of
the
fiscal
year
and
then
to
give
you
a
preview
of
what's
coming
in
the
next
three
months,
that
we'll
be
reporting
to
you
on
in
late
january,
or
more
likely
at
your
first
meeting
in
february,
and
then
there
are
a
few
outstanding
challenges
I
wanted
to
discuss
with
the
council.
So
that's
the
presentation
outline
moving
ahead.
T
Most
city
resources,
roughly
80
to
85
percent,
are
devoted
to
day-to-day
services,
which
makes
it
all
the
more
important
for
the
council
to
do
is
this
city
has
a
very
good
policy
and
practice
where
the
council
establishes
clear-cut
priorities
in
numerical
order
that
helps
us
drive
ahead.
What's
most
important
for
the
direction
of
the
council
for
new
initiatives,
projects
and
changes
that
the
council
would
like
to
see
on
behalf
of
the
community.
T
This
work
program
that
we're
in
the
first
quarter
of
was
adopted
in
may.
It
includes
34
items
that
were
adopted
by
council,
of
which
30
are
in
priority
order.
Having
helped
many
cities
throughout
california
and
city
councils
adopt
priorities.
30
is
an
ambitious
list,
but
that
you
put
them
in
priority
order,
makes
it
easier
because
we're
trying
to
focus
on
the
highest
priorities
first,
as
per
the
council's
request,
and
has
been
done
previously.
T
We
are
providing
quarterly
updates
which
the
public
can
obtain
on
the
dashboard
at
cupertino.org
city
work
program,
and
then
we
provide
those
quarterly
updates
to
you
in
meetings
such
as
this
at
least
three
times
a
year,
if
not
four,
as
we
did
last
month
or
the
last
quarter
of
last
year.
In
terms
of
the
update
from
items
left
over
from
last
year,
there
were
three
that
were
incomplete
due
to
the
pandemic
and
other
priorities
that
emerged
at
the
end
of
2021
and
two
of
those
are
now
complete.
T
We
established
the
pre-approved
adu
plans
and
the
housing
survey
and
the
last
item
that
we're
planning
to
bring
back
to
you
in
december
or
january
is
the
wrap
up
to
the
general
plan
authorization
process
that
the
council
did
a
study
session
on
about
two
months
ago.
I
believe
it
was.
It
was
during
my
tenure
august
17th
there.
It
is
right
on
the
slide,
so
those
are
the
three.
There
were
a
couple
of
other
outstanding
items
from
last
year.
T
So
here
is
the
q1
update,
I'm
not
going
to
walk
through
all
of
the
items
on
the
list,
but
while
our
attachment
a
to
the
staff
report,
lists
all
of
the
work
program
items
in
priority
order
for
this
presentation,
I've
listed
them
by
department
because,
as
your
manager
who's
having
to
manage
the
workflow
of
the
city
along
with
all
of
the
other
ongoing
business,
we
really
do
that
by
departments
because
we
have
a
finite
number
of
staff.
So
it's
a
little
bit
of
load
balancing
between
the
departments.
I
can't
ask
the
it
staff
to
go.
T
Do
the
memorial
park,
water
ponds
and
I
can't
ask
tom
chen
from
our
emergency
services
office
to
go.
Do
the
senior
center
surveys,
it's
really
staff
structuring
by
departments,
so
I'm
presenting
these
work
program
elements
in
priority
order
within
departments
just
so
you
can
see
how
the
work
clusters
around
so
here
for
the
city
manager's
office.
We
have
the
new
commissions
and
committees,
items
that
you'll
see
crossover
in
many
departments,
but
specifically
for
the
manager's
office's
economic
development
and
the
emergency
response
council.
T
However,
I
will
be
bringing
to
your
next
council
meeting
on
the
16th
this
item
for
all
of
the
commission
and
committee
work
program,
items
that
the
council
has
put
forward
so
for
where
you
see
this
through
the
rest
of
the
presentation
they're
coming
back
on
the
16th.
The
one
I
wanted
to
highlight
here
was
the
climate
action
plan.
In
that
we
are
making
considerable
progress.
We've
done
a
wide
array
of
public
outreach.
T
We've
had
a
thousand
over
a
thousand
unique
visitors
to
our
interactive
engagement
website.
We've
had
a
hundred
and
twenty
six
people
attend
at
least
one
workshop
when
we've
had
170
people,
ask
a
question
or
left
an
idea
on
our
web
page
or
took
a
survey
and
we're
planning
to
come
to
you
on
november
16th,
as
well,
with
the
high
level
overview
of
where
we're
going.
T
The
economic
development
items
under
the
city
manager's
office
are
now
under
the
purview
of
our
new
economic
development
manager,
so
we're
really
just
starting
on
those
work
items
now,
with
her
coming
on
board
in
october
for
innovation,
technology,
the
lehigh
and
stevens
creek,
that's
an
ongoing
project.
T
That's
25
percent
done
because
we're
25
of
the
way
through
the
year,
27
and
28
are
actually
going
together
and
27
was
described
in
the
highlight
portion
of
the
staff
report
where,
for
both
of
these
we've
targeted
four
intersections
to
attempt
and
test
new
technologies
to
for
broader
deployment
based
on
the
product
of
the
test.
T
T
T
We
then
have
the
homeless
job
jobs
program
in
the
city
planned
and
homelessness.
I
wanted
to
highlight,
as
council
member
willie
mentioned
at
the
last
council
meeting,
we
have
engaged
west
valley
community
services
to
identify
two
of
the
159
previously
identified
homeless
residents
in
cupertino,
and
that
159
is
based
on
the
2019
homeless,
count
that
was
done
county-wide.
T
We've
just
brought
on
our
contractor
to
help
us
draft
that
strategic
plan
for
the
city's
long-term
engagement
on
homelessness,
I'll
move
on
to
parks
and
recreation.
The
senior
strategy
I
mentioned
earlier
that
we're
starting
our
community
survey
to
assess
the
needs
and
understanding
of
current
senior
services.
The
mental
health
support.
T
We
had
a
low
priority
that
we
were
able
to
check
off
early
with
the
dogs
off
leash
area
and
that
there
was
just
such
strong
support
from
the
dola
champions
and
the
parks
and
recreation
commission.
Rather
than
continuing
the
pilot.
The
director
chose
to
just
bring
forward
the
administrative
regulations
so
that
we
could
make
that
an
ongoing
program
and
have
a
more
community-based
response
there.
We
try
not
to
do
this,
but
there
are
a
few
projects
that
overlap
departments
and
clearly,
when
you're
doing
park
improvements.
T
T
5G
remains
a
concern
of
the
community
and
council
and
the
ordinance
we've
done.
The
research
we're
looking
at
bringing
the
ordinance
back
through
the
city,
attorney's
office
and
public
works
no
later
than
first
quarter
of
next
year,
and
we
are
trying
to
move
that
as
quickly
as
we
can.
The
shuttle
bus
pilot
program
has
already
been
implemented
and
restarted.
T
T
Now
here's
the
preview
for
the
next
quarter
that
will
be
coming
back
to
report
to
you
on
at
your
first
meeting
in
february.
I've
listed
here
just
the
top
10
priorities
in
numerical
order,
as
well
as
other
items
we
know
will
be
of
interest
to
the
council
and
it's
the
singular
use.
Plastics
we've
talked
about
in
that.
O
T
Element
sites
discussion
as
well
as
rfp
and
working
with
our
partners,
be
it
a
service
club
or
the
county,
affordable
housing
options,
either
on
mary
avenue
at
the
old
restaurant
site
or
at
the
simeon
property,
both
of
which
were
discussed
by
council
at
a
closed
session.
In
a
study
session
in
july
5g,
I've
already
mentioned
the
senior
strategy
is
underway.
T
We
should
be
starting
to
see
some
outreach
efforts
coming
together
with
that
over
the
course
of
this
next
quarter,
as
our
contractor
comes
on
board,
with
subsequent
discussion
with
commissions
in
the
next
calendar
year,
memorial
park
improvements-
I
won't
discuss
here
because
I
know
there'll
be
likely
council
questions
on
it
and
so
we'll
save
that,
for
the
end
of
the
presentation,
new
commissions
I've
mentioned
are
coming
back
to
the
council.
Next
meeting
shuttle
bus,
I've
mentioned
lauren
smitty
will
talk
later,
and
that
is
really
the
preview
of
the
work.
T
I
did
want
to
share
with
you
just
a
little
bit
of
some
work.
I
did
as
a
consultant
for
the
last
five
years
that
I've
been
able
to
to
bring
here
to
cupertino.
We
often
think
of
organizational
constraints,
primarily
in
terms
of
staff
or
money,
but
what
we've
realized
is
it's
actually
a
much
bigger
challenge.
T
As
I
started
off
this
discussion,
it's
kind
of
the
iceberg
model
of
organizational
constraints
that
most
of
our
ongoing
day-to-day
work
is
kind
of,
not
what
the
work
program
focuses
on.
But
when
you
look
at
our
organization
of
200
employees,
180
of
them
are
really
an
ongoing
day-to-day
services
delivery
and
it's
really
the
managerial
20
to
25
positions
that
work
on
the
priorities
adopted
by
the
council.
Sometimes
working
on
those
priorities
could
be
supervising
some
staff
work
as
growth
opportunities.
That's
in
the
blue
box,
oftentimes,
it's
overseeing
and
supervising
consultants.
T
T
It
applies
against
all
elements
of
the
organizational
capacity
financial
I'll
start
in
the
middle
most
of
our
money.
It
goes
for
staffing
as
a
city
and
most
of
that
staffing
is
doing
day-to-day
service
delivery.
Fortunately,
you
have
a
very
wise
work
program
system
and
where
you
try
to
capture
calculated
costs
for
items,
so
you
do
that
work
program,
development
in
line
with
your
budget
and
attune
to
the
financial
resources
and
needs
of
the
city,
so
you're
managing
your
financial
capacity.
T
Well,
in
terms
of
that
being
a
constraint
on
work
program
work,
your
staff
is
feeling
a
bit
overwhelmed,
as
I
discussed
in
the
staff
report,
largely
because
of
a
number
of
critical
vacancies.
T
I
I
must
say,
having
turnover
at
both
the
manager
and
the
attorney
creates
relationship,
building
knowledge,
transfer,
learning
about
systems
getting
new
systems
in
place,
but
for
every
department
except
information
technology.
We
also
have
some
critical
staff
vacancies
that
we're
having
to
manage
around
and
through,
and
that's
just
part
of
it.
I
did
want
to
pause
here.
One
moment
there
was
a
newsletter
that
came
out
today
that
appeared
to
be
faulting
the
council
for
not
having
management
experience
when
what
I
found
troublesome
about
that
is,
that's
not
the
council's
job.
T
The
council
represents
the
community
and
provides
the
policy
direction
to
staff
and
sets
the
very
priorities
that
you've
done
through
the
work
program,
and
then
it's
your
manager,
your
attorney
and
the
staff.
We
hire
that's
responsible
for
managing
the
projects
and
delivering
on
the
direction
you've
provided.
So
I
I
did
want
to
clarify
that
from
the
newsletter
I
saw
today,
but
we've
also
realized
through
my
work
with
you
know:
50
cities
over
the
last
six
years.
Does
that
council
have
constraints
as
well?
T
You
know
all
your
work
has
to
be
done
in
public
sessions
or
in
a
few
limited
items
or
closed
session.
It's
best
to
have
a
few
priorities.
You're
focused
on
to
run
efficient
and
effective
meetings,
so
you're
able
to
make
quick
and
clear
decisions,
as
you
did
tonight
on
two
very
big
issues:
sb9
and
the
water
lease.
T
Now
you
provided
clear
direction
on
issues
that,
in
other
cities,
might
have
taken
multiple
meetings
to
work
through,
but
you
were
able
to
drive
those
ahead
and
that's
how
you
manage
the
workload
one
issue
that's
emerged
over
the
last
five
years
is
community-based
divisiveness
and
it's
almost
some
of
the
divisiveness
we've
seen
at
the
federal
where
state
levels
are
now
permeating
local
communities
and
that
just
makes
decision
making
slower
as
well.
I
think
land
use
growth
and
development
issues
centered,
not
just
around
valco,
but
even
tonight,
around
main
street
and
bobe
brothers.
T
It's
clearly
an
issue
of
focus
and
concern
in
the
community
that
requires
attention
and
is
basically
limiting
some
of
our
organizational
capacity,
because
each
of
those
items
take
more
time
than
they
would
otherwise.
But
it's
time
well
spent,
given
the
needs
and
priorities
of
this
council
and
community
and
the
external
box
on
the
far
right
is
just
what
we
face
from
other
levels
of
government,
be
it
the
state
putting
new
regulations
on
us
sql
requirements.
T
Natural
events
like
a
pandemic,
has
dramatically
changed
the
scope
of
our
work
over
the
last
year
and
a
half,
and
it's
going
to
change
our
work
over
the
next
six
months.
We
believe,
as
the
city
hopefully
continues
to
reopen
and
we're
having
to
keep
some
of
the
tools
and
strengths
we've
learned
from
remote,
working
and
zoom
and
the
like,
and
maybe
have
some
new
customer
service
improvements
that
come
out
of
that,
but
also
get
to
a
fully
robust
parks
and
recreation
program
next
summer.
T
That,
hopefully,
is
less
constrained
by
covet
and
that's
going
to
be
relaunching
that
work,
just
like
we've
done
with
the
shuttle.
So
I've
gone
a
little
bit
over
my
time,
mr
mayor,
so
I
tried
to
speak
really
fast,
but
I
did
want
to
highlight
the
next
steps.
The
quarterly
updates
will
continue.
That's
a
best
practice
that
you've
already
done
with
your
work
program
system
per
a
council
member
request.
I
started
at
your
last
meeting
doing
a
single
item
update
at
each
council
meeting
just
so.
T
The
public
sees
that
the
council
and
your
staff
are
continuously
moving
the
priorities
ahead
and
then
we'll
be
back
to
you
with
a
dashboard
update
in
january
or
quarter
two
and
a
presentation
to
council
like
this
in
early
february
and
just
to
warn
you.
This
is
a
never-ending
treadmill,
we're
starting
to
reach
out
now
to
your
commissions,
to
get
their
ideas
for
next
year's
work
program
for
your
consideration
next
april
and
may
with
your
new
city
manager.
T
So
that
concludes
the
staff
report,
we're
available
for
questions
to
make
it
easier
to
see
I'll,
stop
the
share
and
there
I'll
turn
it
back
to
you.
A
Great,
thank
you
greg,
that's
perfect
and
you,
you
know
your
your
messages
are
all
heard.
Your
work
is
appreciated.
Staff
looks
greatly
appreciated.
I
mean
I,
I
will
just
remind
everyone
that,
what's
behind
me,
is
what
used
to
be
dianza
boulevard.
So
in
a
few
short
years
you
know
we
do
get
a
lot
done,
irrespective
of
whether
you
know
we're
80.
You
know
going
day
to
day
or
15,
you
know
here
and
there
on
a
special
project.
A
I
I
I
really
do
think
the
point
is
heard,
we're
we're
all
working
together
and
just
you
know,
there's
the
collaborative
push
pull
all
the
way
through.
Let
me
go
to
our
members
of
the
public
first,
since
especially,
you
know
with
here.
This
is
not
an
action
item
or
it
is
an
action
item,
but
it's
an
update,
and
so
we
can
get
feedback
and
questions
and
follow-ups
from
council.
A
Once
we
hear
from
members
of
the
public,
we
have
one
hand
raised
from
jennifer
griffin
and
I'll
remind
everyone
that,
as
soon
as
jennifer
gets
done,
speaking
you'll
have
to
have
your
hand
up
by
that
time
in
order
to
get
in
line
to
speak
on
this
item,
number
13.,
and
so
everyone
will
have
three
minutes
right
now
we
have
jennifer
griffin
as
well
as
francis,
who
I'll
also
remind
the
members
of
the
public
that
following
this
item,
we
have
continued
oral
communications
at
which
point
I'll
open
it
back
up,
because
it
does
look
like
we'll
have
additional
time
in
case.
A
K
Thank
you,
mayor
darcy,
mr
larson.
Thank
you
very
much
for
a
very,
very
thoughtful
will
well-researched
presentation.
I
cannot
agree
with
you
more
there.
K
There
are
parameters
that
are
going
on
in
in
the
city
from
the
time
that
darcy's
got
the
orchard
behind
him
and
highway
said
sunnyvale's
here
you
know.
I
will
tell
you
right
now
that
I
had
a
perfectly
miserable
summer
based
from
these
housing
bills.
I
spent
many
hours
of
my
time
away
from
my
family,
calling
on
the
phone
pointlessly
to
our
city
rep
our
state
legislators
with
nothing
it
I
felt
like
it
did
no
good.
They
voted
in
mass
on
the
housing
bills.
They
did
not
listen
to
the
public.
Therefore,
there
will
be
repercussions.
K
I
am
concerned
about
the
future
of
my
country
from
what
happened
on
january
6,
with
the
attempted
takeover
of
washington
d.c.
We
had
to
deal
with
covid
and
yet
our
state,
our
legislators,
our
governor,
do
not
understand
the
things
that
the
public
have
been
going
through.
We
all
had
to
worry
about
our
family
members
being
vaccinated
getting
covered
traveling.
I
missed
my
niece's
marriage
a
year
ago
in
oregon
because
we
could
not
go
up
there.
K
That's
why
I
was
up
there
this
last
weekend
for
one
year
anniversary,
my
one
niece
one,
two
nieces,
so
I
feel
that
yes,
divisiveness
issues,
the
land
use
growing,
the
the
city
council,
the
the
staff
are
overwhelmed
because
there
is
a
complete
irresponsibility
at
the
state
level
that
they
have
allowed
things
like
the
runaway
arena
and
the
housing
bills
to
take
center
stage
of
life
in
california.
I
am
scared
to
death
and
petrified
about
sb
9010.
K
I
should
not
be
living
that
way
and
I
should
not
have
to
spend
my
time
attempting
to
validate
my
lifestyle
in
my
neighborhood
as
a
sixth
generation
californian,
I
am
mad.
I
am
angry
at
the
rep
at
the
legislators
in
california,
the
only
people,
I
trust,
are
my
local
city
council.
My
mayors,
people,
maybe
in
in
the
county,
but
I
feel
like
california
at
the
state
level-
has
lost
its
way
and,
yes,
nobody
is
paying
our
staff,
the
overtime,
the
trauma,
their
families
etc.
K
A
Appreciate
it
all
right,
our
next
speaker
is
francis,
who
welcome
francis.
U
Yes,
thank
you
very
much.
Thank
you
for
everybody
to
speak
that
late
this
late
to
listen
to
my
voice.
My
name
is
francis
and
I'm
a
city
of
curtin
resident
and
parent
of
webinar
student.
I
urgently
ask
you
to
support
to
save
our
school
and
take
immediate
action
to
stop
cus
edition
to
close
our.
A
I
will
call
on
you
on
our
next
item,
which
is
continued
oral
communications
okay.
So,
let's
go
back
to
counsel
on
this.
Like
stated
previously,
this
is
not
an
item
where
we're
asking
for
for
for
staff
recommended
motion.
The
recommended
action
is
to
receive
the
city
work
program
quarter,
one
update.
A
However,
let
me
go
ahead
and
allocate
some
time
to
counsel
if
we
have
follow-up
questions
or
comments
on
city
manager,
larson's
presentation,
and
so
let's
go
ahead
and
start
with
with
five
minutes,
and
hopefully
you
know,
we
can
respect
the
very
good
curation
of
the
presentation
provided
by
greg
and
make
our
make
our
questions
and
comments.
Similarly,
similarly
concise,
so
I
see
hand
raised
by
councilman
member
willie.
R
Yeah,
so
thank
you
greg
for
that
update.
You
know
this
is
new.
Getting
these
quarterly
updates,
and
I,
like
that,
verbage
that
you
used-
and
that
is
you
know
things
take
time,
but
it's
time
well
spent,
and
I
really
believe
this
is
time
well
spent
for
us
and
the
community
okay.
That
being
said,
first
question
is:
under
community
development
item
number
two
eli
and
drm.
T
On
page
168
of
the
agenda
packet,
we
do
have
the
simple
table
from
the
dashboard
that
provides
the
update
of
what's
been
completed
and
in
progress
for
all
of
it.
We
also
have
the
director
of
community
development
here
who
can
either
provide
a
brief
response
tonight,
or
we
could
respond
to
all
of
these
requests
in
writing
later.
R
Yeah,
I
think
it'd
be
good
for
the
community
to
hear
I
mean
the
mary
street
project
I
think
is,
is
pretty
important.
You
know
I
mean
where,
where
are
we?
You
know
the
rotary
is
bringing
forth
this
type
of
project.
Previously
the
city
was
defining.
Who
owns
that
piece
of
property
on
mary
street
I
mean
what
kind
of
update
do
we
have
how
far
along
it
has
have
things
moved.
Y
Yeah,
mr
mayor
and
senior
manager,
arson,
if
I
may
respond
to
councilman
willie's
question
very
briefly
here,
so
the
mayor
avenue
application
project.
If
you,
as
you
mentioned
it,
councilman
willie,
I'm
sorry
am
I
coming
in
okay,
voice-wise
yeah.
Y
Thank
you
appreciate
that
so
community
development
staff
and
public
works
staff
have
been
working
sort
of
behind
the
scenes
like
councilman
willie
have
mentioned
just
identifying
ownership
boundaries
of
the
site,
so
that's
been
identified.
Y
Y
Affordable
housing
components
in
in
in
the
community
understanding
the
needs
of
the
community
and
soon
we'll
have
a
preparation
and
parcel
map
and
coming
to
city
council
for
that
map
and
preparation
approval,
as
well
as
a
potentially
a
general
plan
amendment
to
to
identify
the
project
for
for
housing
and
then
we'll
stand
up
for
an
rfp
and
seek
project
proposals
coming
in
through
the
pipeline.
So
that's
generally
so
the
process
and
that's
what
we're
working
on
right
now.
R
Great
next
one
I'll
touch
on
the
homeless
jobs
program
number
six
and
there
I.
I
think.
It's
just
a
point
of
clarification.
You
know
you
made
the
reference
of
159
homeless,
county
wide.
The
jobs
program
is
specific
or
cooperative
for
the
homeless.
All
homeless
are
important.
There
is
no
question
about
it.
All
homeless
are
important,
but
the
cupertino
jobs
program
for
two
homeless
people
will
be
two
homeless.
People
that
are
residing
within
cupertino
not
to
be
confused
with
the
much
larger
population.
T
T
Next
year
and
mr
mayor
as
council
members
raised
questions
on
other
projects,
what
I
might
do
is
just
quickly
highlight
that
the
homeless
jobs
program
is
on
page
seven
of
attachment,
a
to
the
staff
report,
or
it's
page
173
of
the
full
agenda
packet.
Just
so
members
of
the
public
and
the
other
council
can
find
the
item
we're
speaking
to
easily.
A
Absolutely
thank
you,
city
manager,
larson
and
so
john
you're
right
after
five
minutes.
I
just
wanted
to
go
ahead
and
you
know
give
equal
time
to
everyone.
I'll,
probably
push
you
over.
You
know
some
of
my
time
at
the
end,
and
so
let's
go
ahead
and
go
to
council
member
away.
F
Thank
you
mayor
paul.
I
first
really
like
want
to
thank
the
staff
for
and
the
quarterly
report,
and
I
think
it's
really
great
for
the
public
and
the
council
members
to
learn,
and
then
thanks,
greg
city
manager,
greg
intermittent
for
a
very
good
report.
I
I'd
like
to
follow
up
with
the
question
I
asked
and
then
the
answers
that
we
received
about
the
staffs
80
work
on
the
you
know
the
items
that,
in
addition
to
the
work
plan,
what
their
staffing
time.
F
I
asked:
what
are
the
other
things
that
other
referrals
and
work
items
that,
in
addition
to
the
work
plan,
that
the
staff
does
stay
today
or
adding
to
their
work
plan?
So
the
answers
I
got,
I'm
really
pleased
to
know
the
answers
that
for
residence
issues
reported
to
the
public
work
department,
I
asked
him:
what's
the
percentage,
how
many
cases
are
there?
F
So
the
answers
from
the
staff
and
offer
is
about
hundred
to
175
are
received
monthly,
and
so
it
estimates
30
of
the
service
staff
time
to
address
just
the
residence
report
to
public
works.
For
example,
you
know
kubernetes
311
code
enforcement
issues.
You
know
flooding
crime
issues,
so
these
are
in
addition
to
day-to-day.
They
are
handling
a
lot
of
service
or
residence
inquiries
and
issues
so
and
then
for
for
a
lot
of
the
park
and
recreation
department.
F
I
actually
personally
have
met
with
our
code
enforcement
in
a
residence
to
work
on
the
neighbors
issues,
so
our
staff,
in
addition
to
the
day-to-day
work.
They
also
handle
a
lot
of
residence
report
complaints
and
they
really
serve
our
residents
really
really
well.
So
thanks
greg
for
getting
the
staff
to
answer
my
questions.
T
They
receive
roughly
130
to
140
customer
requests
every
month,
primarily
those
are
through
three
one
one,
but
also
phone
calls
and
emails
and
those
consume
almost
all
of
the
code
enforcement
staff
time,
because
code
enforcement
is
that
customer
response
function.
A
S
Thank
you,
mayor
paul,
and
I
do
want
to
thank
staff
for
putting
together
the
dashboard
and
I
hope
people
are
going
to
it,
and
I
appreciate
all
the
screenshots
that
you
have
and
the
new
page
regarding
mental
health
support.
I
feel
bad
for
all
the
communities
that
are
having
to
that
have
taken
on
the
sb9
issue,
because,
like
us,
it's
an
extra
item
and
like
we
heard
for
campbell,
there's
the
potential
of
of
having
an
organization
come
and
sue
them,
which
is
you
know,
an
added
stress,
and
I've
mentioned
this
before.
S
I
would
like
to
know
what
the
what
the
legal
costs
have
been
across
the
state
from
the
implementation
of
the
housing
bills
and
then,
and
then,
alternatively,
what
what
could
we
have
built
with
that
with
that
money
if
we're
to
have
gone
to
affordable
housing,
rather
than
all
of
the
litigation
that
we've
had?
S
Instead,
I
do
have
one
question,
and
I
and
I've
have
kind
of
brought
it
up
internally
with
regards
to
that
ada
compliance
issues,
and
how
can
that
be
addressed
because
it
did
show
up
in
the
the
moss
adams
risk
assessment?
S
And
one
suggestion
I
had
is
that
we
would
have
essentially
some
an
ada
spearhead
person
on
staff.
I
I
don't
know
how
it
would
move
forward
to
address
that
and
then
there's
also
like
website
section,
508
issues
and
and
things
of
that
nature,
as
opposed
to
having
a
work
item
for
us.
T
T
Our
city
attorney
did
identify
that
mr
stillman
down
in
public
works.
At
one
point,
was
the
city's
88
coordinator
I'll
ask
director
lee
if
that's
still
the
case
and
bill
from
information
technology?
I
don't
know
if
you're
able
to
respond
yet
on
the
ada
accessibility
review.
You've
started
for
our
web
pages,
or
will
that
be
an
item
to
come
back
later
so
roger
bill?
Those
two
questions
for
you.
V
Yes,
thank
you
interim
manager,
greg
it's
david
stillman,
our
transportation
manager.
He
is
our
ada
coordinator
for
the
city
and
we
do
have
an
ada
transition
plan
that
we
I
I
don't
recall
the
year.
I
think
it's
it's
up
to
be
reviewed
again,
but
we
we
do.
Look
at
that
plan
for
every
every
improvement
that
we
do
to
see.
What
that
recommends.
Z
The
mayor,
councilmember
moore
this
is
bill
mitchell,
I'm
the
chief
technology
officer
for
the
city.
We
are
looking
at
ada
concerns.
We
continually
look
at
ada
compliance
and
ensuring
that
we
do
that.
However,
I'd
like
to
tell
you
that,
although
it's
not
on
the
city
work
program,
it
is
on
the
I.t
strategic
plan
to
implement
a
new
website
this
year.
So
we
will
start
the
design
and
work
on
that
after
the
new
year
and
of
course,
ada
will
be
one
of
the
items
that
we
ensure
are
met.
S
Oh
wow,
that's
that's
excellent.
To
hear
will
this
be
done
in-house
by
the
way.
Z
So
we
don't
develop
in-house.
So
what
we'll
do?
What
we'll
do
is
we
will?
Currently
we
have
a
product
from
vision,
technology
we'll
probably
go
out
for
an
rfp
on
the
website
to
assist
us
with
the
design
and
the
build
of
the
system
itself,
and
then
we
will
maintain
it
internally.
As
far
as
content,
the
actual
framework
of
the
work
is
not.
I
noticed
that
you
mentioned
pasadena.
Pasadena
has
16
people
in
their
I.t
group.
You
know,
probably
five
of
them
are
committed
to
the
website.
Z
We
do
not
have
one
person
committed
to
the
website,
so
we
find
it
more
cost
effective
to
outsource
that
service.
S
T
I
I
will
point
out
doing
the
new
transition
plan.
That
may
be
something
staff
would
be
bringing
forward
to
council
for
consideration
for
next
year's
work
program,
because
that
would
be
a
pretty
big
project
that
the
council
would
want
to
pay
attention
to,
and
I
believe
our
prior
transition
plan
dates
back
to
2015-2016.
T
So,
as
roger
mentioned,
it
is
timely
to
look
at
updating
that
again,
given
new
standards
and
priorities.
However,
using
parks
as
an
example
for
it
is
in
the
parks
master
plan
that
accessibility
will
be
designed
into
all
new
park
features.
So
even
the
tot
lot
we
brought
forward
to
council
last
month
included
an
accessible
feature
and
that's
above
and
beyond
the
all
accessible
part
that
will
be
coming
back
as
well.
A
Q
Oh
hi,
thank
you
for
the
attachment,
a
which
gives
a
very
clear
picture
for
each
project
which
stage
they
are
and
when
they
will
go
to
the
next
stage,
I
wonder
is
from
the
website.
Is
there
a
way
to
print
this
pdf
out,
because
I
couldn't
figure
out
a
way
to
do
that?
Maybe
if
there's
a
way
you
can
tell
me
later,
and
so
I'd
like
to
point
out
that
for
the
for
the
for
the
I
think
low
income
strategy.
Q
That
item
has
been
on
the
council
agenda
since
before
I
was
on
the
council
at
that
time
the
item
was
to
include
the
extremely
low
income
percentage
in
the
bmr
ordinance,
and
that
has,
I
think
the
council
has
confirmed.
We
would
like
to
do
that
since
I
was
on
the
council
and
but
it
seems
that
item
somehow
did
not
get
done
and
now
this
item
has
been
extended
into
including
memory,
including
other
projects,
but
the
original
intent
wasn't
there
anymore.
Q
So
now
that
we
are
doing
general
plan
update,
I
hope
that
we
consider
adding
requirements
for
extremely
low
income
percentage
units
for
in
our
general
plan
updates.
Q
Q
Is
the
council
allocated
like
200
000,
for
state
route
to
school
projects,
and
I
think
another,
two
hundred
thousand
for
like
park,
small
improvements
in
parks,
but
we
don't
ever
get
updates
once
we
have
a
new
allocation,
so
it
will
be
nice
if
we
also
get
that
update
of
this
annual
location,
because
once
it's
annual,
we
especially
need
transparency
on
that
and
then,
like
council
member
way
mentioned.
Q
I
think
greg
mentioned
also.
Eighty
percent
of
the
city's
resources
is
on
day-to-day
business,
but
as
council
members,
we
don't
have
visibility
like
how
busy
the
code
enforcement
officers
are
and
how
much
service
re
cost
different.
So
it
might
be
nice
to
have
some
kind
of
update
on
this
80
big
chunk
of
the
city
services
that
we
are
providing.
Q
That's
good
for
us
to
know,
and
I
think
for
citizens
to
know
also-
and
another
thing
is
for
the
tory
avenue
project.
I
see
that
in
the
different
phases
that's
planned
nowhere
it
may
it's
mentioned.
It
will
come
to
the
council
for
direction
on.
How
would
we
utilize
this
new
building?
Q
My
understanding
is,
this
is
a
brand
new
building.
We
purchased
shouldn't
the
use
of
that
building.
The
direction
should
come
from
the
council,
but
the
from
the
description
right
now.
I
don't
think
that's
even
that
would
come
to
the
council
for
direction.
If
you
can
color
clarify
that,
and
another
thing
is
priority,
number
three
is
5g.
Q
Q
A
Q
Yeah,
oh
I
mean
greg,
would.
E
You
so
if
you
want
me
to
just
jump
in
I'll
address
the
5g
I
mean
our
part
of
the
holdup
is:
is
the
city
attorney's
office?
E
You
know,
so
I
need
to
to
be
fully
involved
in
the
drafting
of
that
ordinance
with
with
roger
staff,
and
you
know
that's
something
that
you
know
I
I
will
be
doing
in-house,
and
so
we
I
have
committed
to
doing
that
and
and
and
making
rapid
progress
through
all
of
those
elements
in
africa
in
the
first
quarter
of
2022
after
the
first
of
the
year,
with
support
from
roger
and
his
staff.
V
Yes,
vice
mayor,
I'm
looking
at
page
39
of
attachment
a
and
it
is
understood
that
we
would
be
coming
back
to
council
to
share
all
of
our
outreach
efforts
and
to
get
direction
from
you
right
from
the
schedule
implementing
the
public
outreaches
in
april
of
next
year,
going
through
it's
like
august
and
then
we'll
be
initiating
the
design
phase
in
that
time
period.
So
I
would
expect
during
that
time
we
would
be.
V
A
Okay,
vice
mayor,
I've
lent
you
about
a
minute
of
my
time,
and
so
let's
go
back
to
council
member
willie
and
I'll
do
the
same
for
you,
john,
but
I'd
like
to
ask
that
you
preserve
a
little
bit
of
time.
R
A
R
R
They
said
the
objective
is
to
get
the
two
homeless
people
on
the
work
program
by
the
end
of
november,
letting
the
community
know
something
like
that.
Wow,
it's
not
just
talked
about
they'll,
be
put
to
work
for
the
mary
street,
some
type
of
number.
That
could
say
we
expect
the
rotary's
plan
to
be
coming
to
the
planning
department
on
this
day,
or
at
the
very
least,
you
know
in
2022
again
letting
them
know
that
wow.
R
A
Thank
you.
Okay,
thanks
john
well,
timed
you're,
leaving
me
with
about
three
minutes
I'll
see
it
over
a
bit
of
time
to
you
vice
mayor
at
the
end,
you
know
I'll
just
talk
about
a
project
that
is
not
in
the
top
ten,
but
one
that
I
am
focused
on
lawrence
mitty
item
number
11
super
paginated,
page
184
of
the
omnibus
packet
page
18
of
attachment
a
I
do
have
a
question
about
how
it's
being
classified
here.
A
There
seems
to
be
under
task
research,
outreach
planning,
phase,
execution
phase
and
closing
processes.
It
seems
to
me
that,
and
actually
I'm
on
page
19,
not
18.
This
is
the
master
plan,
and
that
would
be
research,
procurement,
outreach
planning,
phase,
design,
phase,
execution,
phase
and
closing
processes.
Is
this
all
related
to
design
and
design?
Only
because
I
noticed
that
the
the
last
task
ends
on
march
15
2023,
which
of
course
is
about
you
know
like
15
or
16
months
out
from
now.
So
I'm
wondering
are.
A
We
is
that,
basically,
what
we're
in
for
for
the
next
year
and
four
months,
essentially
just
design
or
is
there
any
actual
construction
being
contemplated
within
that
period
of
time.
V
Yes,
I
mean
that
that
would
be
that
is
outreach
community
outreach
at
the
time
needed
to
get
back
to
council
and
and
for
to
complete
the
design
there.
A
Okay,
so
so
so
the
answer
is:
that's
all
just
design,
there's
no
construction
happening
here.
Where
are
we
on
the
next
page,
the
next
natural
page,
which
would
of
course
be
construction
and
implementation?
Does
that
page
not
exist
yet
or
does
it
exist,
except
we're
just
waiting
for
a
bit
for
the
design.
V
Yes,
that's
correct,
I
mean
once
the
master
plan
is
complete,
all
the
design
will
be
complete,
and
so
you
know
prior
to
this,
these
dates
you
know
being
achieved.
We
would
be
coming
into
council
in
one
of
our
fiscal
year.
Cip,
requests
for
the
construction.
A
V
It's
not
known
right
now,
mayor
paul
it
we,
we
have
gone
through
a
qualification
process
with
with
the
design
consultants,
we're
we're
getting
a
proposal
back.
We
have
a
selected
consultant
and
we're
just
going
through
the
negotiation
of
that
proposal.
V
Okay,
I
do
expect
that
to
come
to
council
as
early
as
december
no
later
than
january,.
A
Yeah,
I'm
wondering
okay,
fair
enough
okay.
So
if
you
look
at
the
very
end
of
this
paper
between
june
22
and
august,
2nd
we're
finalizing
the
design
phase,
which
makes
sense,
it
says
execution
phase,
but
then
there
is
basically
a
five
month
gap
right
between
august,
2nd
and
january
16th,
and
it
just
says:
closing
processes.
A
You've
got
two
months
for
closing
processes.
You
know,
I'm
just
wondering
you
know.
Why
is
there
basically
like
seven
months
where
you
know
something
happens
after
finalizing
the
design
phase?
What
so?
So,
what
what's
the
idea
here?
What
why
why
is
it
needed
to
close
out
the
design
phase
and
wait
five
months
after
the
finalization
of
the
design
phase?
What
what?
What
is
that
about.
V
You
know
it,
I
would
have
to
check
with
the
project
manager
to
know
for
certain
it
could
be
just
the
environmental
and
the
permits
that
would
be
needed
prior
to
going
out
to
construction
prior
to
going
out
to
bid
okay.
Okay,
I
mean
it's,
you
know
we
would
want
to
execute
as
soon
as
we
have
a
design
get.
You
know,
get
council's
authority
get
out
to
bid.
A
Right
right
I
mean
just
I
I'm
following
the
timetable
up
until
august
2nd,
but
then
there's
that
five
month
gap
and
then
another
another
two
months
and
just
not
really
clear
on
on.
What's
happening
in
that
in
that
in
that
period
of
time.
But.
A
Thank
you
greg.
Thank
you,
roger
really
appreciate
it,
and
so
that's
my
time.
Well,
you
know,
given
the
fact
that
we're
doing
this
on
a
quarterly
basis-
and
you
know
I'm
really.
You
know
appreciative
of
the
fact
that
you
know
greg
you've
fantastically
put
together
a
program
for
us.
You
make
absolutely
legitimate
points.
I
think
one
day
we
should
certainly
be
awarded
for
the
process
that
that
we've
implemented
there's
just
been
so
much
engagement.
A
I
don't
know
of
any
city
that
manages
to
bring
all
these
various
elements
of
commissions
and
public
input
into
this
centralized
document.
Vice
mayor
ciao,
I
know
I
promised
you
some
of
the
time
and
so
with
the
leave
of
the
rest
of
council,
I'd
like
to
provide
perhaps
a
minute
or
so
if
you
wanted
to
do
a
follow-up
at
this
point.
Q
Okay,
just
one
item
the
number
12
development
accountability.
This
item
has
been
on
the
council
agenda
since
2019.
Q
it
has
made
no
progress
and
now
the
progress
seems
to
be
again,
there
will
be
no
progress
until
march,
but
what
we
have
seen
today
is
the
beta
project
will
have
the
30-day
note.
The
30-day
period
to
raise
any
concern
for
inconsistency
with
general
plan
has
elapsed,
and
this
is
not
the
first
time.
The
same
thing
happened
for
the
westport
project
when
the
inconsistency
with
the
bmr
ordinance
for
the
inclusionary
fifteen
percent
inclusionary
requirement
for
all
housing
types.
Q
It
was
not
raised
as
an
issue
within
30
days
and
then,
after
that,
the
city
cannot
challenge
that
anymore.
So
I
think
we
need
to
at
least
address
this
issue
individually.
So
that
way
this
doesn't
happen
again.
Maybe
this
whole
process
of
accountability.
It
has
been
there
for
so
many
years
and
maybe
it's
too
complex.
It
just
never
gets.
A
T
T
It's
those
sorts
of
impacts
that
cause
items
like
this
to
slow
down
plus.
I
think
we
need
a
little
more
clarity
on
what
it
is.
I
when
I
first
saw
it
on
the
work
program,
I
said
what
is
it
I?
I
didn't
really
understand
it:
it's
not
a
model
that
I've
seen
in
many
other
cities,
so
there's
not
good
comps
to
drop
on
so
we're
kind
of
developing
something
new.
Here
I
see
ben's
come
on
the
screen.
He
may
have
a
more
optimistic
answer
than
I
just
shared.
Y
To
mr
university
manager
larson's
comment:
that's
that's
exactly
spot
on.
We
also
your
your
plan.
Division
team
has
eight
positions,
so
three
of
those
eight
have
gone
through
a
roving
vacancy.
If
you
will
so,
and
so
this
project
once
did
start
in
2019
and
sort
of
has
changed
a
little
bit
and
also
with
the
changing
the
staff
through
those
positions
actually
two
to
three
actually
changed
over
twice.
So
there's
been
a
significant
change
in
in
your
staffing.
Y
Also
two
is:
when
we're
really
getting
down
to
the
project,
as
you
can
see
in
2020,
starting
with
research
to
coordinate
with
the
neighboring
jurisdictions
and
part
of
their
research,
that's
when
covert
really
hit,
and
so
we
other
cities
weren't
as
fortunate
as
us
to
be
able
to
work
remotely
as
quickly
as
we
are,
so
that
sort
of
stall
open
and
with
losing
the
staff
and
other
items
continue
to
move
at
a
much
faster
pace.
Y
We
just
weren't
able
to
staff
for
this
particular
position,
also
with
with
the
comments
that
mr
larson
mentioned
about
playing
manager
and
senior
player
that
really
played
into
a
part
as
well,
but
I'm
hopeful
that
by
the
end
of
the
year
you
will
see
those
vacancies
filled
and
hopefully
we'll
be
able
to
limit
any
more
turnover,
and
I
anticipate
that
we
will
be
able
to
jumpstart
this
item
by
the
end
of
the
year.
If
not
first
of
2022,
we
should
be
able
to
be
able
to
make
some
lightning
progress.
A
Okay,
greg
and
did.
J
T
A
Okay,
great
so
so
councilmember.
Why
did
you
want
to
say
something
yeah.
F
I
just
wanted,
because
I
keep
on
hearing.
I
just
maybe
want
to
make
an
observation
comment,
because
I'm
kind
of
new
I
was
elected
about
a
year
ago,
less
than
a
year
ago,
so
I
continue
to
hear
that
a
few
work,
this
world
programs
being
like
2019,
hasn't
been
done.
That's
it
looks
like
you
know.
The
some
work
program's
been
postponed
for
a
long
time
year
after
year.
From
my
short
experience,
I
could
see
other
other
jobs.
Other
projects
jump
ahead,
for
example
the
density
bonus.
F
You
know
ordinance
that
jumped
ahead
of
everything
and
then
now
we
have
sb9
and
the
housing
elements,
and-
and
you
know
all
the
things
that
my
sort
of
understanding
when
I
hear
from
my
one
year
experience
is-
it
seems
like
we
have.
We
continue
to
have
more
important
projects
that
jump
ahead
of
some
work
programs,
so
some
work
programs
just
get
pushed
back
for
a
long
time
and
short
of
staff
in
staff.
Changing
maybe
added
to
that.
F
So
I
understand,
and
then
you
know,
eighty
percent
of
our
staff
time
is
for
day
to
day.
Then
we
have
another
20
30
percent
that
goes
to
residence
complaint
residence
enforcement
issues,
so
I
think
we
may
be
short
of
a
staff
plus
short
of
consistent
experienced
staff.
Maybe
have
contributed
to
this.
So
that's
just
my
observation
comment
for
the
one
year
that
I've
been
almost
one
year
that
I've
been
on
council.
F
A
Yeah,
okay,
great,
really
appreciate
it.
I'm
gonna
close
this
out
and
you
know
thank
you
for
implementing
this
on
a
quarterly
basis.
This
is
very
new.
You
know,
and
I'll
just
mention
that
there
are
three
things.
I
think
that
we
need
to
focus
on.
You
know
this
is
ultimately
about
three
things:
it's
about
workflow,
it's
about
transparency
and
it's
about
efficacy
and
and
the
vice
mayor,
and
I
you
know
when
it
comes
to
workflow
adjustments.
A
You
know
you're
talking
about
several.
You
know
like
a
dozen
different
commissions
and
committees,
we
were
able
to
put
them
on
a
lockstep
on
an
annual
basis
and
kind
of
conform
them
into
a
work
plan
right,
and
so
it
was
kind
of
a
fight
every
step
of
the
way.
With
regard
to
making
sure
that
we
stick
to
the
work
plan
and
so
the
product
that
you
have
in
front
of
you,
you
know
the
the
professional
full-time
paid
benefited
pension
employees.
They
are
working
at
the
behest
of
the
public,
and
everyone
knows
that.
A
A
You
know
when
you're
talking
about
the
rest
of
it
and
making
sure
that
you
know
priorities
get
you
know,
moved
up.
You
know
a
lot
of
that.
It's
just
it's
it's
people
right!
I
mean
it's.
The
fact
that
you
know
these
are
projects
and
we're
not
robots,
and
you
know
we're
not
certain
processes
are,
are
going
to
be
suspect.
To
subject
to
the
fact
that
you
know
people
have
conversations,
someone
wants
to
pick
up
the
phone
and
say
hey
how
you
doing.
I
thought
I
think
this
project
would
be
great
to
do.
A
You
know,
I
think
it's
a
matter
of
making
things
very
clear
and
transparent
and
trying
to
make
sure
that
we
understand
that
you
know
like
I
say
you
know,
this
is
what
it
looked
like.
You
know
in
1948
when,
when
boris
moved
here
right,
so
you
know
stuff
will
get
done.
I
mean
you
know,
take
heart,
it's
it's
not
one
of
these
kind
of
things
where
we're
gonna
end
up
saying:
oh,
it
absolutely
has
to
get
done.
How
dare
you
not
finish
this?
A
I
mean
it's
a
constant
push,
but
I
think
that
you
know
using
that
example
of
vice
mayor
and
I
you
know
working
very
closely
with
staff
for
the
course
of
several
months
to
you
know,
get
those
processes
specifically
with
the
commissioner
handbook
as
well
as
the
you
know,
various
policies
that
affect
the
the
the
council
workflow.
A
You
know
we're
we're
here
today
and
so
it's
not
on
any
one
person.
It's
on.
You
know
the
whole
group
of
us,
but
I
think
that
it's
hard
to
find
a
a
set
of
work
plan
items
that
that
can
parallel
what
cupertino
is
very
ambitiously
putting
forward
even
in
this
documentation
right
now,
and
so
I'm
really
pleased
by
the
progress.
Quite
frankly-
and
I
think
that
you
know
we-
we
have
a
skeletal
framework
of
a
lot
of
these
things
that
are
written
down
again.
A
Thank
you,
greg
for
all
the
effort
that
you've
put
forward.
I
mean
great
documents,
you
know
here
on
this
item
and
you
know
there's
a
reason
that
we're
at
approximately
10
o'clock
right
now
and
we've
gotten
so
much
done
this
evening-
and
you
know
a
lot
of
it
is
the
is
the
foresight
and
the
work
that's
gone
in.
So
you
know
with
that
we'll
you
know,
leave
it
to
your
successor
to
give
us
the
quarter,
two
update
and
greg.
Did
you
want
to
close
this
out
before
we
move
on.
T
I
just
wanted
to
thank
all
the
department
heads
who
really
drive
the
work
ahead
and
jungle.
The
priorities
on
a
day-to-day
basis
for
their
staff
between
a
3-1-1
call,
an
upcoming
commission
meeting,
an
upcoming
council
meeting
somebody
out
sick
or
on
vacation,
it's
ben
roger
bill,
katie,
diane,
joanne,
who
and
christina
who
do
that
heavy
lift
every
day
to
keep
the
city's
day-to-day
work
and
its
special
projects.
A
Yeah
absolutely,
and
we,
those
of
us
who
sit
here
and
have
garnered
enough
votes
to
be
in
these
seats.
We
I'm
sure,
extend
all
of
our
kudos
to
you
and
staff
as
well.
So
we
really
appreciate
this
we're
at
item
13,
lucky
13.
A
A
A
U
Yes,
okay,
thank
you,
everybody
for
staying
so
late
to
listen
to
my
voice.
I
actually
appreciate
that
you
know
I'm
a
resident
of
city
of
cupertino
and
a
parent
of
regular
elementary
school
student.
U
The
tradition
of
cusd
to
close
our
school
is
really
ridiculous,
awful
and
inhuman.
During
this
pandemic
time,
I'm
I
agree
with
arguments
of
other
regular
parents,
but
I
want
to
focus
my
argument
on
the
traffic
impact
to
our
children
and
to
our
community
because
of
this
tradition,
I'm
very
sure,
to
learn
that
cusd
had
never
ever
conducted
any
transportation
study
related
to
the
fiscal
closure
before
the
deletion
was
made.
U
On
october
14th
sport
meeting
regular
parents
have
been
back
in
cusd
for
traffic
study
in
the
past
more
than
12
months,
but
no
action
has
been
done
by
cusd.
So
far,
one
parent
leader
shared
the
email
with
me
that
she
sent
to
cust
board
members
and
superintendent
back
in
october
of
2020
at
that
email
he
was
questioned.
Why?
No
traffic
study
request
has
been
sent
to
the
city
engineering
department
why
the
city,
engineering
and
hr2s
staff
has
not
been
consulted
and
has
not
been
invited
to
working
with
them
for
the
food
closure
decision-making
process.
U
The
response
from
superintendent
stacey
is
that
they
basically
rely
on
cac's
understanding
of
traffic
pattern
for
the
assessment
of
transportation
impact
of
this
project,
rather
than
rely
on
the
city
engineering's
professional
advice
on
assessment.
This
is
ridiculous.
This
is
ridiculous
and
it's
really
a
joke.
U
I
have
been
spending
a
lot
of
time
reviewing
the
city
of
cupertino
transportation
study
guidelines
in
the
past
a
week
and
I
believe
the
full
closure
of
retina
and
the
transfer
of
webinar
students
to
transfer
part
of
regular
student
to
lincoln
elementary
school
will
generate
more
than
a
hundred
peak-hour
trips
per
day
to
our
into
that
transfer
area
and
on
the
page,
five
of
study
of
cupertino
transportation
study
guidelines.
U
I
believe
a
ps3
transportation
study
should
be
conducted
to
evaluate
the
projects
consistent
with
the
city's
general
plan,
including
its
compliance
with
transportation
standards
set
in
the
mobility
element
and
and
it's
consistent
with
the
central
para
county
congestion
management
program
for
the
sql
analysis.
U
B
AA
AA
Great,
thank
you
so
much
for
staying
late.
My
name
is
eunice
peng
and
I'm
a
regnert
kennedy
and
monte
vista
parent.
I
also
have
the
honor
of
being
the
ragnarok
pta
co-president
this
year.
I
really
appreciate
everything
the
cupertino
city
council
does
to
make
cupertino
such
a
great
city
to
live
in
and
to
that
point
I
want
to
bring
up
how
school
closures
are
affecting
cupertino
residents
and
cupertino's
reputation.
AA
AA
My
youngest
son
is
in
third
grade
the
last
and
only
normal
year.
My
third
grader
had
was
when
he
was
in
kindergarten
this
year
the
kids
are
all
back
in
school,
but
it
is
not
a
normal
year.
We
haven't
gone
on
any
field
trips,
yet
parents
aren't
allowed
to
walk
their
kids
to
their
classrooms.
We
can't
have
large
school
gatherings
and
principal
coffees
are
all
online.
AA
AA
However,
I
don't
understand
why
cusd
made
such
a
difficult,
harmful
and
unpopular
decision
when
it's
no
longer
a
current
budget
problem.
School
closures
have
been
discussed
for
many
years
at
cusd
due
to
declining
enrollment,
but
closing
schools
during
a
pandemic
just
does
not
make
sense.
For
example,
a
campus
of
350
students
compared
to
600
students
has
less
students
using
the
bathrooms
playgrounds,
lunch
tables
library.
AA
It's
not
that
larger
schools
aren't
safe,
but
merging
schools
during
a
pandemic
would
have
major
health
concerns.
On
top
of
the
emotional
current
concerns,
children
are
already
facing.
Currently
many
of
the
students
have
to
sit
on
the
ground
during
lunch,
because
social
distancing
at
the
lunch
tables
means
that
there
aren't
enough
seats
anymore.
If
you
add
200
students
to
each
receiving
campus,
all
of
these
new
students
will
have
to
sit
on
the
ground
during
lunch.
In
addition
to
the
ones
who
are
already
sitting
on
the
ground.
AA
A
corporation
will
close
offices
due
to
attrition
from
working
remotely
or
downsizing,
but
a
school
can't
be
compared
to
a
company.
A
school
is
service.
Oriented
and
neighborhood
schools
provide
the
community
with
a
measurable
value.
Besides
the
value
that
regnart
brings
to
our
local
community,
there
just
isn't
any
need
to
close
schools.
Now,
if
cusd
could
wait
two
more
years,
our
declining
enrollment
won't
be
a
budget
problem.
Cusd
is
projected
to
become
a
basic
aid
district
and
the
funding
will
increase
from
8
500
per
student
to
13
000
per
student.
AA
So
by
simply
holding
off
on
the
decision
to
close
schools
during
the
pandemic,
we
will
be
able
to
see
just
how
healthy
cusd
is
financially
enough
to
give
teachers
their
raises
to
pay
for
rising
retirement
costs,
to
keep
smaller
schools
open
so
that
children
can
still
walk
to
school
and
have
the
stability
they
need
and
create.
So
I
really
thank
you
for
your
time
to
listen
to
my
comments
today
and
urge
you
to
put
cusd
school
closures
on
the
agenda.
AA
A
T
Just
as
we're
trying
to
schedule
future
items
know
that
we
have
a
very
long
list
of
items
already
to
be
scheduled,
plus
referrals
over
the
last
two
months,
and
I'm
going
to
be
looking
trying
to
integrate
those
in
ways
that
doesn't
slow
down
any
of
the
work
program.
We
just
talked
about
tonight.
A
Great,
thank
you
greg
and,
let's
go
you
know,
I'm
going
to
put
a
time
limit
on
this.
A
couple
minutes
should
should
do
it
for
us
10
minutes
total.
So.
R
Council
member
willie
yeah:
well,
I
think
it's
a
great
lead-in
eunice
and
francis
our
community
is
very
concerned.
If
it's
a
concern
to
the
community,
it's
a
concern
to
me.
I
think
we
need
to
have
an
agenda
item
or
study
session.
I
think
we
need
to
ask
jerry
lew
the
board
president,
maybe
to
get
the
update
this
time
instead
of
stacy,
and
then
we
can
be
as
knowledgeable
as
possible
and
hopefully
offer
some
some
input
and
guidance.
A
Q
First,
I
understand
that
the
staffing
limit
for
development
accountability,
but
then
I'd
like
to
propose
that
the
staff
address
the
30-day
limit
to
challenge
the
general
plan
on
violations
and
I
actually
already
recommended
it
to
the
prior
city
manager
that
fan
to
have
a
list
of
a
table
of
all
objective
standards
so
that
each
development
has
to
submit
a
consistency
analysis
before
they
apply.
And
then
the
staff
can
check
off
each
item
to
see
if
they
are
consistent.
Q
This
table
actually
was
already
partially
available
from
the
vocal
project,
and
so,
if
that's
a
more
specific
goal,
hopefully
then
that
can
prevent
future
general
plan
violations
and
then
and
then
I
hope
that
we
do
consider
a
percentage
of
extremely
low
income
in
our
journal
plan
update
next
year
and
I'd
like
to
second
council
member
john
whaley's
request
for
another
night.
Q
I'm
sorry,
but
this
is
kind
of
urgent
to
consider
some
writing
a
letter
to
cusd
for
them
to
reconsider
the
decision
of
school
closure,
because
two,
both
of
the
cupertino
school
board
members,
both
voted
against
this
proposal
and
the
other
three
voted.
Yes,
so
it's
a
very
split
vote
and
then
also
on
the
sequa
issue
has
not
been
started
and
in
the
end,
it's
just
it's
problems
that
the
city
will
have
to
end
up
to
resolve.
Q
So
I
wonder
whether
there
is
the
city
could
challenge
you
that,
because
there
is
a
prior,
I
think,
last
year
the
san
francisco
city
sued
the
san
francisco
school
district
over
school
reopening
issue.
So
maybe
this
is
something
cupertino
can
consider.
S
Okay,
thank
you
with
regards
to
the
the
cusd
issue.
In
our
general
plan,
schools
are
mentioned
about
167
times
and
regnart
was
listed
as
providing
through
a
joint
use
agreement,
three
acres
of
park
land
for
the
community,
so
I
do
have
some
concern
with
that
as
well,
and
the
relocation
of
of
students
in
the
the
clip
program
from
meyerholtz
and
what
is
the
ultimate
intention
of
that
school
site?
S
We
remember
a
few
years
ago
with
the
luther
school
that
that
was
going
to
be
converted
into
housing
by
the
same
developer
of
the
the
valco
project
in
main
street,
and
so
I
do
have
some
concern
about
whether
or
not
there
there
would
be
a
potential
ground
lease
in
the
future.
For
that
location
and-
and
you
know,
we
need
to
know
what
the
what
the
district
is
actually
planning
for
there,
and
I
I
could
see
this
requiring
a
closed
session
discussion
for
for
what
our
options
are.
S
Moving
ahead.
With
regards
to
the
the
the
30
days,
I
would
like
to
see
some
notification
to
city
council
when
a
project
is
like
this
is
coming
through
and
I'm
and
I'm
not
sure
that
our
hands
are
completely
tied,
that
we
can't
do
anything.
But
maybe
that
is
the
case.
So
I'd
like
to
hear
some
some
more
information
about
about
that
and
down
the
street
also
on
foothill
the
erc
reviewed,
a
project
which
was
commercial
and
residential
and
that
project
has
over
4
000
square
feet
of
of
retail
in
it.
S
So
it
was
a
little
disheartening
to
have
one
project,
have
no
retail
nine
units
plus
an
adu
and
and
see
the
general
plan
designation
for
it
and
and
see
just
down
the
street
a
kind
of
similar
situation,
but
that
one
did
have
retail.
So
some
of
the
arguments
for
why
why
the
corner
of
stevens,
creek
and
wouldn't
have
it
were
they
weren't?
Terrific?
Yes,
thank
you.
F
F
Studies,
so
that
that
is
an
issue
I
like
to
see
how
f
how
far
we
can
go
and
what
can
we
do
to
help
our
parents,
and
the
second
comment
I
want
is
collaboration-
is
also
it's
always
better
than
you
know
forcing
something
on
another
public
agency.
So
I
wonder
if
we
can
do
more
collaborative
collaborative
efforts,
then
you
know
we
want
to
help
our
residents,
but
also
we
want
to
work
with
our.
A
Okay,
great
did
you
want
to
speak
to
that
city
attorney
jensen.
E
A
Okay,
fair
enough.
Okay,
thank
you
councilmember
way
in
terms
of
my
follow-ups,
I'll,
go
ahead
and
confer
with
our
city
manager
about
the
timing
and
scheduling,
as
well
as
the
city
attorney
as
necessary,
and
we'll
talk
about
the
potential
future
items.
To
add
to
you
know
the
the
various
other
items
on
our
upcoming
agendas.
A
So
I
think
that
we
are
at
the
end
of
our
agenda
this
evening.
Thank
you
very
much
for
a
really
good
discussion
on
all
points
you
know
front
to
front
to
back.
I
will
give
a
very
brief
update
with
regard
to
the
city
manager
search.
It
has
been
very
far-ranging.
We've
had
many
meetings,
it's
been
a
national
effort,
we've
had
excellent
candidates
and
hopefully
you
know
knock
on
wood
will
be
able
to
have
this
process
come
to
a
fruition
in
the
relatively
near
term.
A
That's
what
I'm
at
liberty
to
share
at
this
point.
We
thank
all
of
the
members
of
the
public
for
being
interested
and
engaged.
You
know
I
see
literally,
everyone
here
has
over
the
years
been
highly
committed
to
our
community,
and
you
know
I
thank
you
for
that
commitment,
and
I
know
that
going
forward.
A
Like
I
said
you
know,
we've
got,
we've
got
workflow
and
transparency
and
efficacy,
and
when
these
three
things
wed
we're
going
to
be
able
to,
you
know,
deliver
all
sorts
of
really
excellent
measures,
and
you
know
ultimately
they'll
they'll,
you
know
result
in
changes,
I'm
sure
the
orchardists.
You
know
thought
that
things
were
going.
You
know
way
too
slowly
or
rapidly,
depending
on
who
you're
talking
to,
and
yet
here
we
are
right
and
that's
as
we
have
living
proof,
that's
within
a
single
lifetime.
So
thank
you
very
much.
A
You're
greatly
appreciated,
we'll
see
in
two
weeks
for
our
next
regular,
scheduled
city
council
meeting,
that's
november,
16th
that'll
start
at
6,
45
pm
and
until
then,
with
regard
to
our
regularly
scheduled
council
meeting
and
without
further
ado
I'll
adjourn
this
meeting
at
10
22
p.m.
Thank
you
and
good
night
meeting
adjourned.
