Description
Coverage of the Cupertino City Council Teleconference Meeting, recorded on Tuesday, December 7, 2021. Part 2 of 3.
A
Our
first
item
is
the
recognition
of
one
of
our
residents
and
a
commissioner
in
our
city
for
receiving
a
national
federal
recognition
for
her
efforts
in
volunteering,
and
so
this
subject
is
the
recognition
of
arshna
panda
for
receiving
the
president's
lifetime
achievement
award
from
the
americorps
from
americorps
and
the
office
of
the
president
of
the
united
states.
President
joe
biden.
C
I
that
comes
to
my
mind,
is
there's
a
voice
inside
of
all
of
us
that
whispers
all
day
long.
That
tells
us
what
is
right
for
us.
That
tells
us
what
is
wrong.
No
teachers,
preachers
parents,
friends,
no
wise
men
can
decide
when
we
think
what
to
do.
Just
listen
to
the
voice
that
speaks
inside
and
that's
all
we
follow
and
thank
you
so
much
for
giving
me
this
honor
to
come
here
and
like
meet
all
of
you,
and
I
feel
so
motivated
and
inspired.
Thank
you.
Thank
you
mayor.
A
C
A
Thanks
so
much
all
right,
so
item
number
two
is
a
proclamation
to
our
director
of
public
works,
roger
lee,
upon
his
retirement
and
recognizing
his
dedicated
service
to
the
city
of
cupertino.
Now
you
know
I
sometimes
put
percentage
metrics
upon
our
staff's
work,
but
I
you
know,
I
think,
with
regard
to
roger
you
know,
roger,
and
I
have
coincided,
I
think
entirely
with
regard
to
the
city
of
cupertino
roger
came
from
santa
clara
at
the
time
that
he
was
hired
here
in
cupertino.
A
I
think
I
was
probably
on
the
parks
and
recreation
commission,
but
you
know,
certainly
during
my
entire
time
on
city
council
here
and
all
of
our
respective
times
for
all
council
members.
Roger
has
been
there,
but
with
regard
to
metrics,
you
know,
roger
and
his
department
have
basically
blown
the
roof
through.
You
know
one
of
the
metrics
in
the
bay
area
we're
at
the
very
top
with
regard
to
page
pavement
management,
and
you
know
I've
been
able
to
see
that
progress
over
the
course
of
years.
A
You
know
roger's
immediate
predecessor,
tim
borden.
Of
course
you
know,
was
working
with
roger,
but
roger,
very
much
focused
upon
that.
You
know
throughout
his
career
and
has
done
such
an
amazing
job
in
cupertino.
I
know
that
he's
been
an
integral
part
since
the
very
beginning
of
making
sure
that
our
horizontal
infrastructure,
you
know,
particularly
in
this
case
the
the
roads,
are
maintained.
Well,
and
you
know
I
can
say
when
I
was
elected
in
2014,
that
was
not
the
case
in
every
sector
of
guberno.
A
A
You
know
I
just
want
to
express
my
appreciation
for
having
been
able
to
work
with
you
as
a
colleague
and
see
that
you
know
fantastic
results
as
an
exemplar
of
the
work
that
you've
done
for
cupertino.
Before
we
show
the
proclamation
director
lee
did
you
want
to
say
a
few
words
to
a
council
in
the
public.
D
I
would
mayor
paul
vice
mayor
members
of
council.
Thank
you.
Roger
lee,
director
of
public
works
it.
I
really
appreciate
this
recognition,
especially
on
the
eve
of
my
retirement,
this
city,
its
community,
its
count
city
councils,
its
management
and
staff
have
been
an
absolute
pleasure
to
work
with
over
the
years
in
my
25
years
and
then
working
with
public
and
public
agencies
and
seven
years
in
the
private
sector.
Cupertino
has
really
just
been
the
highlight
without
a
doubt,
so
thank
you
for
the
opportunities
and
the
support.
D
You
know
those
payment
condition
indexes
are
at
that
council's
direction
and
the
funding
just
made
that
all
possible.
So
thank
you
for
that.
You
know
I've
learned
much
and
I
look
forward
to
staying
in
touch
with
many
of
you.
I
do
need
to
acknowledge
the
support
of
my
wife.
Her
sacrifice
and
understanding
really
made
everything
possible.
D
A
Thank
you
so
much
roger.
I
actually
see
a
member
of
the
public
with
a
hand
raised.
So
you
know
let
me
go
ahead
if
our
video
control
room
can
set
that
to
one
minute,
just
respecting
the
the
time
and
the
packed
agenda
tonight,
just
reminding
members
of
the
public
that
you'll
have
until
the
end
of
the
first
speaker,
who
is
becky
griffin
to
raise
your
hand
to
be
recognized,
and
so
right
now
the
hands
I
have
raised
are
from
peggy
griffin,
jennifer
griffin
and
rota
fry
welcome.
Peggy.
E
F
Thank
you,
amir
darcy.
Yes,
mr
lee,
congratulations
on
your
retirement.
We
are
going
to
miss
you.
I
was
always
so
glad
you
were
always
so
calm
and
so
cheerful
in
whatever
things
were
going
on
and
we're
gonna
miss
you
greatly.
So
good
luck
in
all
your
endeavors
and
feel
free
to
come
back
and
keep
cupertino
rolling
along.
Thank
you.
Thank.
G
G
A
H
Yes,
mr
mayor,
thank
you
to
you
and
the
council,
as
well
as
the
public
for
honoring
and
recognizing
mr
lee.
I've
only
had
the
great
fortune
of
getting
to
work
with
him
five
months
and
all
of
you
have
gotten
to
work
with
them
much
longer,
but
in
those
five
months
I've
seen
what
an
exemplary
is
of
responsiveness,
positivity,
getting
the
work
done
and
just
being
a
colleague
with
all
of
the
staff
at
all
levels.
The
executive
team
had
the
opportunity
to
recognize
and
thank
roger
for
being
a
colleague
yesterday.
H
A
I
Well
I'll
just
say
that
it's
been
a
pleasure
roger
I
mean
just
recently
when
we
had
two
residents
that
were
struggling
on
newsome
and
wonderlic,
and
I
said
well,
I'm
going
to
go
and
meet
with
these
residents
roger
stepped
out
and
he
pulled
in
the
in
the
driveway
down
there
too,
and
we
talked
with
the
residents.
Ultimately,
problems
were
resolved
and
all's
good
roger.
Thank
you
enjoy.
J
Hi
roger
it's,
it
will
be
truly
a
loss
for
the
ct
that
you
have
retired,
although
you
deserve
your
retirement.
I
know
you
have
faced
some
really
tough
challenges,
but
then
the
residents
have
always
felt
that
you
they
were
listened
to
even
and
then
you
will
try
to
address
their
concerns,
even
though,
even
when
the
situation
there
is
nothing
the
city
can
do
you
make
people
feel
they
are
listened
to,
and
you
tried
your
best
and
you
have
on
the
pavement
situation,
where
you
have
the
best
payment
rating
and
for
the
lehigh.
J
K
Hi
roger,
I
think
I
saw
you
more
often
when
I
was
a
resident
in
the
school
board
because
after
I
elected
mr
kovitz,
we
really
didn't
meet,
but
your
names
you
mentioned
over
and
over
again
you
know
your
public
works
is
a
major
part
of
cupertino.
So
I'm
positive
that
you've
made
positive
changes
into
our
city
and
into
our
residence
life.
As
for
retirement,
our
internal
city
manager,
greg.
You
know,
failed
three
times
how
long
you're
going
to
last
in
retirement
a
requirement
is
not
a
retirement,
it's
really
a
new
venture
for
you.
K
So
I
wish
you
all
the
best
of
luck.
If
you
want
to
come
out
of
retirement,
you
have
role
models
to
follow,
and
if
you
don't
want
you
want
to
stay
there,
you
can
do
service.
You
can
do
hobby,
you
can,
you
know,
be
a
public
servant
yourself.
So
there
are
ample
opportunities
out
there.
So
retirement
is
are
actually
new
adventures.
So
the
best
of
luck
for
you.
L
Hey
wow
so
roger
I'm
really
sorry
to
see
you
go,
and
I
I
think
you
can
hear
it
in
the
voices
of
the
members
of
the
public,
how
much
you've
meant
to
everyone.
I
remember
the
the
big
group
of
people
you
had
out
walking
the
junipero
serra
trail
and
the
the
the
way
that
the
community
engagement
was
handled
was
was
really
beautifully
done,
and
I
personally
want
to
thank
you
for
the
assistance
that
I've
gotten
from
the
vta
pack
that
I
was
able
to
text
you
before
a
meeting
and
find
out.
L
A
Yeah
all
right.
Well,
thanks,
so
much
roger,
you
know
I
I
can't
even
begin
to
encapsulate
a
decade's
worth
of.
You
know,
interactions
and
work,
but
yeah.
Let
me
just
you
know,
say
in
closing
that
you
know
not
everything
is
peaches
and
cream
right
I
mean.
Ultimately,
you
know
it's
a
democratic
process.
It's
discussion,
it's
wrangling,
but
I
want
you
to
know,
and
you
know
and
and
this
belies
the
fact
that
you
know
so
much-
of
what
you've
done
serves
broader
purposes
and
has
done
really
well.
A
You
know
I
want
you
to
know
that
you
know
personally,
I
I've
really
on
some
level,
really
loved
every
minute
of
of
the
dynamic
because
of
the
fact
that
you
know
this
is
what
we're
doing
you
know
it's
not
just
about
trying
to
figure
out.
Do
we
get
this
particular
building?
Do
we
make
this
particular
project?
It's
process
right
and,
and
so
it's
it's,
it's
always
a
work
in
motion
and
it's
just
been
a
a
real.
A
It's
been
a
real
privilege
to
be
able
to
work
with
anybody
in
that
regard,
but
you
know
especially
you
know
with
you.
I,
the
the
metrics,
are
very
clear,
you're,
extremely
capable
and
competent
and
to
the
benefit
of
the
public.
You
know,
let
me
just
you
know
really
close
here
by
by
thanking
you.
I
you
know,
I
think
about
one
specific
instance
out
of
many.
You
know
over
the
course
of
years,
but
at
the
very
beginning
of
the
pandemic,
you
know
when
we
were
everyone.
A
Literally,
everyone
in
the
world
was
trying
to
figure
out
what
to
do
right.
We
had
a
very
significant
contingent
of
our
community
that
had
access
to
ppe
that
had
access
to
masks.
You
know
a
lot
of
our
our
community.
Our
demographic
comes
from
east
asia.
They
had
been
through
covent
waves.
You
know
they
had
the
ability
to
to
bring
in
large
amounts
of
donations.
A
You
know
when
I
was
working
with
our
former
city
manager
deb
to
try
to
figure
out
how
do
we
process
these
things?
You
know,
literally
that
same
day
you
had
taken
bins
and
you
had
figured
out
a
way
to
get
those
donations
in
you
figured
out
how
to
do
it
publicly.
You
figured
out
how
to
do
in
a
secure
way
and
you
figured
out
how
to
do
it
safely,
and
I
can
tell
you
definitively
that
works
save
lives.
A
You
know
and
it's
it's
a
microcosm
of
of
what
we've
done
over
the
course
of
years,
but
I
want
you
to
know
combined
with
that
process.
Okay,
because
it's
not
always
very
evident,
and
you
know
people
like
to
give
you.
You
know
seminars
and
books
about
how
to
be
a
more
pleasing
person,
but
at
the
end
of
the
day
it
comes
down
to
that.
D
A
A
A
and
with
respect
to
being
able
to
take
in
that
public
input.
We
do
have
that
ability
at
each
and
every
one
of
these
items
three
through
ten.
But
if
you
are
looking
at
our
agenda
and
realizing
that
we
have
some
30
some
odd
items
and
are
looking
to
you
know
more
typically,
you
know
say
you
know
your
your
thanks
and
good
luck.
A
Let's
go
ahead
and
have
video
limited
to
actually
that
hand
has
now
gone
down,
and
so
I
was
gonna
say:
let's,
let's
take
it
to
two
minutes,
but
let's
give
it
another
moment,
I
don't
see
the
hands
raised,
and
so
let
me
go
ahead
and
bring
it
to
council.
Vice
mayor
chao,
you
have
your
hand
raised.
Would
you
like
to
make
a
nomination
for
mayor
in
this
upcoming
term
of
one
year.
J
J
Let
me
just
finish
my
statement,
then.
Okay,
I
think
darcy
has
been
effective
in
running
the
meetings
as
you
can
see,
and
even
when
we
are
short
on
time,
darcy
does
slow
down
to
allow
time
for
all
the
council
members
to
deliberate
when
it's
necessary
and
when,
when
we
disagree,
we
have
all
improved
as
a
body
to
run
effective
meetings.
J
J
We
are
still
in
the
middle
of
the
pandemic
and
experiencing
this
area
wide
higher
rate
of
staff
turnover
in
addition
to
the
already
starting
and
coming
retirement
wave.
I
think
we
need
stability
for
the
city
at
this
time.
In
my
mind,
diversity
in
leadership
is
not
skin
deep.
It's
not
just
about
whether
a
woman
should
be
leaders
or
men.
After
we
interviewed
a
diverse
pool
of
candidates,
we
did
hire
two
white
males
for
city
attorney
and
our
new
city
manager,
starting
in
january,
but
we
have
find
out
city
attorney.
J
J
We
each
bring
in
from
our
diverse
background,
and
we
reach
out
to
others
to
seek
out
more
diverse
perspectives
where
we
might
luck
and
darcy
has
shown
his
leadership
in
this
also.
I
did
have
my
own
aspiration
to
become
mayor
next
year,
of
course,
and
some
of
my
friends
told
me
they
are
they
were
on.
J
I
The
demands
on
time
for
all
these
important
decisions,
interim
city
manager,
city
manager,
replacement,
new
city
attorney
process
for
the
city
just
tonight
we're
only
a
few
minutes
into
the
meeting
and
coming
up
with
the
the
plan
for
the
engagement
and
having
a
a
way
to
do
that
wow.
You
know
why
didn't
we
all
think
of
these
things?
I
Well,
it
just
to
me
really
speaks
to
how
well
mayor
paul
is,
is
in
this
type
of
a
position,
and
for
for
you
to
be
able
to
offer
another
year's
worth
of
that
that
process
for
this
community,
I
think,
really
serves
the
community
well,
so
I
definitely
support
that.
Second,
it
with
a
great
big
guess.
Thank
you.
I
A
A
I
just
wanted
to
be
completely
candid.
I
I
was
really
quite
looking
forward
to
my
eighth
year
on
council
as
a
transitional
period,
but
when
I
realized
that
you
know
we
really
are
as
a
city
confronted
with
a
number
of
things
that
have
been
set
into
motion
right,
I
mean
completely,
I
think,
sideswiping
us
frankly,
you
know
it's
there's
really
no
other
way
to
describe
it
in
the
middle
of
the
year.
A
You
know
we
had
a
sudden,
a
sudden
retirement
from
the
position
by
our
our
prior
city
manager,
precipitated
by
something
that
you
know
when
I
trace
the
actual
cause
of
it.
You
know
I
just
have
to
scratch
my
head
and
think
you
know
this.
This
has
to
be
democratic
process
right,
but
at
the
end
of
the
day,
even
though
people
are
you
know,
are
allowed
within
the
process,
to
kind
of
you
know
make
these
sideways.
A
You
know
attacks,
and
in
this
case
you
know
prompt
hcd
to
send
inquiry
into
deb
in
this
very
nondescript
email
which
she
you
know
just
just
happened
to
miss.
Frankly
I
mean
it
was
one
of
these
things
that
made
me
realize
that
you
know
the
experience
and
the
stability
is
so
extremely
important
right
now
I
mean
that
launched
us
into
a
bit
of
a
one
month.
A
I
don't
want
to
call
it
a
spiral,
you
know,
but
the
fact
that
that
happened
as
a
result
of
you
know
people
trying
to
attack
our
work,
which
over
time
has
been
balanced
and
we've
always
you
know,
especially
in
these
last
seven
years.
You
know
allocated
in
good
faith
for
projects
that
we
felt
would
be
built.
I
mean
I
mean
and
and
to
have
it
kind
of
you
know
culminate
in
that
it
has
just
made
me
realize
in
this
last
half
year.
You
know
our
city
needs
the
stability
of
leadership.
A
That
has
been
able
to
respond,
and
it's
not
a
single
person,
it's
a
team.
It's
the
fact
that
every
single
one
of
us,
you
know,
sat
in
community
hall,
and
we
cared
enough
in
the
middle
of
all
of
this
to
go
past
midnight.
You
know
on
in
one
of
these
discussion.
You
know
sessions
in
order
to
make
sure
that
we
were
finding
the
right
person
for
the
future
of
cupertino,
and
you
know,
I'm
convinced
that
that
person
was
selected
was
provided
the
offer
and
is
starting
with
us
on
january.
A
Third,
but
at
the
same
time
I
mean
I,
I
think,
I'm
just
very
hesitant
to
disrupt
the
structure
of
the
team
that
we've
put
forth,
and
these
are
very
transient
periods
of
time
right,
because
at
the
end
of
the
day,
you
know
any
number
of
public
elements.
You
know
whether
it's
the
people
that
work
for
the
city,
whether
the
people
that
are
applying
for
applications
from
the
city
they
look
outside
in
and
they
go.
You
know
at
the
very
most.
A
You
have
two
years
of
stability
on
a
city,
council,
okay
and
so
a
lot
of
times.
They
make
calculations
and
go
well.
We
can
basically
wait
this
out.
We
can't
afford
to
wait
this
out.
I
don't
think
we
can,
because
we've
had
turnover
in
the
city
attorney's
position,
which
I
will
also
say
was
precipitated
by
these
sideways
attacks.
But
has
you
know
magnificently
and
almost
shockingly,
you
know
resulted
in
a
situation
where
we
have
fantastic
personnel?
We
we
have.
A
We
have
really
great
prospects
with
regard
to
you
know
who's
homing,
our
legal
issue,
who
has
been
helping
us
on
an
interim
basis
from
the
city
managerial
position
and
who
will
in
approximately
another
month
on
a
permanent
basis
going
forward,
but
that
didn't
all
just
kind
of
happen
by
accident
and
I
think
for
this
relatively
transient
period
of
time.
You
know
we
started
in
1955,
so
this
is
our
66th
year.
You
know
for
this
one
year
out
of
out
of
67.
A
A
B
A
Know
it's
it's
very
painful,
but
intrinsically
you
have
to
love
it
you,
you
absolutely
have
to
love
the
process
and
the
fact
that
you're
you're
getting
attacked,
left
and
right.
You
know
from
you
know
certain
sectors
of
the
community
at
various
times,
some
consistently
all
the
time.
But
you
know
it's.
It's
all
part
of
the
process
and
almost
miraculously
it's.
It's
brought
us
to
this
point.
A
So
when
I
think
about
it
and
I
go,
you
know
it's
been
seven
years,
you
know
there
there's
all
that
contribution
and
opportunity
costs,
but
then
I
think
about
the
interactions
that
we've
had.
I
think
about
the
the
team
that
we've
built
over
the
course
of
last
year,
and
you
know
thinking
about
being
able
to
mobilize
in
literally
three
weeks
and
then
you
know
going
through
interim
city
manager,
interviews
and
then
kind
of
scratching
our
heads
and
going
you
know:
okay.
A
Well,
there's
this
new
guy,
you
know
greg
larson,
it's
a
saturday,
let's
bring
him
on
sunday,
the
next
day
and
wow
he's
starting
on
wednesday
right.
We
managed
to
deliver
that
and-
and
that
was
just
a
tip
of
an
iceberg
with
regard
to
our
process.
Now
we
have
a
brand
new
person
and-
and
I
think
that
you
know
really
for
the
continuity
and
the
stability
of
the
city
and
to
keep
our
track
record
going.
You
know
I'm
willing
to
accept
the
nomination.
A
You
know
it's
with
gratitude
and
with
a
sense
that
you
know
our
prospects
going
forward
are
really
fantastic.
Our
team
has
made
it
such
so
so
thank
you.
I
I'm
very
honored
by
it
and
you
know
at
the
end
of
this,
you
know
we'll
we'll
see
we'll
see
what
the
the
will
of
the
the
council
is,
but
you
know,
as
for
my
part,
I
I
really
appreciate
the
the
show
of
confidence,
so
I.
A
K
Yes,
I
would
like
to
mayor
paul.
I
agree
with
everything
mr
mayor
charles
says
and
councilmember
what
he
says,
but
I
look
at
the
history
of
our
mayorship.
We
have
mayor
paul
and
then
mayor
sharp
mayor,
sharp
and
mayor
paul
and
I
may
applaud
again.
I
have
no
objection
to
that,
but
I
have
full
confidence
that
every
one
of
us
that's
being
elected
by
our
constituents.
Our
residents
can
do
a
good
job
as
a
mayor,
and
I
really
would
like
to
nominate
vice
mayor
because
she's
elected
2018
with
second
highest
votes.
K
This
is
her
life.
Well,
it
is
her
last
year
in
her
first
turn
and
she
hasn't
been
a
mayor.
Yet
she's
been
vice
mayor
twice
and
I
I
just
for
in
my
heart.
I
believe
she
can
do
as
good
a
job.
Maybe
you
know
not
as
me,
I
don't
know.
Maybe
you
know
given
opportunities,
I'm
pretty
sure
she
can
perform.
You
know,
mayor
paul.
I
have
no
objection.
K
Everything
vice
mayor
says
everything
you've
done
and
bring
the
leadership
to
our
city
council
to
us-
and
you
know
we,
we
elected
you-
know
our
intern
city
manager,
five,
zero.
Our
you
know
say:
attorney
five:
zero,
our
incoming
city
manager
5-0.
So
we
do
have
a
very
good
council
that
we
can
compromise
and
negotiate
and
collaborate
and
do
a
good
job
and
given
the
opportunities,
I
believe
every
one
of
us
can
be
a
good
vice
mayor
and
good
mayor.
So
I
just
feel
that
it
is
vice
mayor
child's
turn.
A
Thank
you
councilmember
way,
and
I
absolutely
echo
what
you
say.
I
think
we're
just
so
fortunate
as
a
community
and
as
a
council
that
literally
any
one
of
the
five
of
us
could,
you
know,
serve
in
a
great
capacity
as
mayor
or
vice
mayor
and
also
you
know,
like
I've
been
saying
over
the
course
of
the
evening.
You
know
we
have.
A
We
have
fantastic
staff
and
you
know
ultimately,
you
know
when
you
have
a
situation
where
perhaps
there
there
aren't
as
many
you
know,
council
members
that
could
take
on
the
role
you
know
quite
as
fastidiously
as
as
you
know,
each
and
every
one
of
us
could
there
are
you
know,
vacuums
that
are
filled
ultimately,
and
you
know,
cupertino
staff
over
time
has
done
that
really
well,
and
so
you
know,
I
absolutely
agree
with
what
you're
saying
councilmember.
I
think
I
think
every
one
of
us
could
do
a
good
job.
L
It
will
definitely
be
a
huge
benefit
to
our
community
and
to
our
new
staff
leadership
to
have
mayor
paul
with
his
many
many
years
leading
the
city
from
parks
and
rec
commissioner,
to
continue
on
in
leadership
and
it'll,
be
very
fitting
for
mayor
paul
to
open
the
new
library
expansion
next
year,
which
he
has
worked
so
hard
for
over
many
years,
and
he
is
completely
deserving
of
being
one
of
the
few
mayors
of
cupertino
to
serve
three
terms.
Thank
you.
A
A
M
A
K
A
B
A
Okay,
thank
you
very
much.
We
are
on
to
item
number
four,
which
is
the
election
of
the
vice
mayor.
I
do
see
a
member
of
the
public
has
a
hand
raised,
and
so
I'll
go
with
the
the
same
direction.
With
regard
to
our
are
our
our
past
practice.
However,
I
think
I
might
be
running
into
a
technical
difficulty.
When
I
go
to
my
attendees
tab,
I
can't
see
which
member
of
the
public
has
a
hand
raised,
and
so
can
somebody.
B
A
E
Good
evening,
I'd
like
to
recommend
vice
mayor
liang
chao,
as
vice
mayor
again,
but
taking
on
much
more
regular
responsibilities,
as
vice
mayor
as
this
is
darcy
paul's
last
year
in
office,
it
is
critical
that
he
delegate
more
of
his
vice
mayor
and
to
his
vice
mayor.
His
ability
to
pass
on
his
strength,
leadership,
skills
and
techniques
will
will
be
a
contribution
from
him
that
will
last
far
beyond
his
term
in
office.
Vice
mayor
chow
has
been
a
tremendous
asset
to
our
city
council.
E
A
A
I
am
absolutely
dedicated
to
making
sure
that
each
and
every
one
of
our
council
members
lives
up
to
that
standard.
That
was
set
forth
by
council
member
way
in
terms
of
saying
that
each
and
every
one
of
us
can
serve
in
a
fantastic
capacity
in
any
of
the
you
know,
positions
on
our
council,
including
the
the
mayor
and
vice
mayor
and
with
regard
to
being
able
to
you,
know,
communicate
some
of
these
mechanics.
I
would
only
I
would
only
respond.
A
You
know
for
the
rest
of
what
I'd
like
to
state
here
that
vice
mayor
chow,
as
is
true
with
you
know,
every
one
of
our
council
members,
but
particularly
with
with
vice
mayor
chao.
I
I
noticed
this
a
couple
of
years
ago
when
we
were
looking
at
our
commissions
and
committees
and
realizing
that
they
were
all
on
different
calendaring.
You
know
timing
with
regard
to
selecting
what
they
were
working
on
and
there
were
other
issues
and
we're
not
going
to
delve
into
this
in
in
a
negative
fashion.
A
You
know
it's
it's
it's
an
ongoing.
You
know
work
in
progress,
but
with
respect
to
being
able
to
sit
down
with
vice
mayor
chao
and
katie
nomura
who's.
Now
our
acting
deputy
city
manager
and,
and
just
you
know,
start
a
conversation
and
start
a
process
where
we're
all
working
together
to
take
an
administrative
function,
a
very
critically
important
administrative
function,
because
these
are
our
advisory
commissions
and
committees
and
figure
out
a
way
to
to
fix.
A
You
know
some
of
the
the
major
problems
which
were
basically
you
know
the
fact
that
the
council,
even
though
it
appoints
every
single
one
of
the
positions
in
these
commissions
and
committees,
was
not
working
in
in
in
synchrony.
It's
not
even
about
lockstep,
it's
about
working
in
concert
with
regard
to
setting
the
agenda
and
work
plan,
and
so
that
has
been
such
a
critical
function.
A
You
know,
I
fully
expect
that
type
of
work,
and
you
know
honestly,
every
single
council
member
has
that
kind
of
an
experience
and
with
regard
to
working
with
one
other
council
member
on
some
of
these
issues
that
get
brought
forth.
But
you
know,
particularly
with
vice
versa.
I
was
so
impressed
by
how
you
know
this
is
so
far-reaching
affecting
every
aspect
of
our
city
as
well
as
our
our
representation
and
how
we,
you
know,
take
in
public
input.
A
I
you
know,
I
realized
that
you
know
once
we
get
to
the
point
where
you
know
there,
there's
that
ability
to
stabilize
the
the
city.
You
know
administrative
functions,
we're
just
going
to
be
so
incredibly
fantastically
served,
and
so
you
know
I
will.
I
will
note
that
you
know
anything
can
happen
within
a
year.
Right
I
mean
the
vice
mayor
function.
Is
there
to
make
sure
that
someone
is
prepared
to
be
mayor
in
case
the
mayor
is
not
available
for
that
function,
and
so
you
know
I
really.
A
You
know
you
know
emphasize
that
I
also
emphasize
that
every
single
one
of
us
has
one
vote
out
of
five:
we're
all
council
members
and
that's
why,
when
I
describe
myself
publicly,
you
know
in
any
communicative
mechanism.
I
describe
myself
as
a
council
member,
so
you
know
that
that
is
my
set
of
thoughts
upon.
You
know
proffering
up
this
nomination
for
vice
mayor
child
to
continue
on
as
vice
mayor
this
year.
I
I
I
truly
believe
that
this
community
has
been
so
well
served
by
vice
mayor
chow,
the
the
number
one
topic
the
number
one
issue
of
this
community
is
school
and
having
a
phd
on
this
city
council
that
is
so
so
well
versed
in
all
levels
of
education
and
then
being
on
the
school
board
wow.
What
she
what
she
brings
to
this
council
is
incredible.
I
She
is
also
an
incredible
co-counsel.
I
am
a
better
person
from
the
time
on
this
council
with
with
the
interactions
with
vice
mayor,
chow
boy.
I
I
can't
believe
I
would
ever
have
have
been
able
to
rise
to
this
without
that-
and
I
never
would
have
guessed
I
would
have
been-
you
know
been
able
to
to
do
that
so
with
that
I
am
so
happy
to
second
it
and
I
sincerely
hope
she'll
she'll
stay
as
vice
mayor
for
another
year.
J
Yes,
thank
you.
It's
my
honor
to
serve
her
again,
as
my
vice
mayor,
of
course,
but
I
do
wish
that
I
will
have
the
opportunity
to
get
involved
more
on
be
a
more
hands-on
vice
mayor
and
hopefully,
and
especially
under
the
leadership
of
mayor
paul,
that
there
is
a
lot
I
could
learn
from
you
and
yeah.
So
I'm
accept.
F
A
A
B
B
J
J
J
J
A
J
I
don't
have
much
comment,
I'm
just
looking
forward
to
another
year.
I
think
this
is
a
year.
Cupertino
will
really
heal.
We
will
have
a
new
city
manager
that
there
are
so
many
things
that
we
have
planned
to
do
these
three
years.
I
think
we,
for
example,
like
this
two
study
sessions
today
there
are
a
lot
of
great
work.
This
council
will
be
able
to
accomplish
together,
and
I
am
looking
forward
to
work
with
all
of
the
council
members
and
always
mayor
darcy
paul
in
the
next
year.
A
Vice
mayor
chad,
we're
on
to
item
number
eight,
which
are
comments
by
the
mayor.
You
know
I'm
gonna
go
ahead
and
forego
comments.
I
think
enough
has
been
stated
over
the
course
of
the
evening.
We
we
have
a
wonderful
city,
and
you
know
everyone
has.
My
pledge
to
you
know
continue
the
best
efforts
to
make
sure
that
we
continue
our
excellent
tradition.
A
K
Congratulations
to
mayor
paul
and
vice
mayor
child.
I
want
to
say
that
mayor
paul.
I
have
confidence
that,
under
your
one
another
year,
leadership
cupertino
will
move
forward
and
my
voting
of
upset
abstention
has
nothing,
doesn't
diminish,
you're
being
elected,
I'm
only
saying
that
vice
mayor
charles
being
elected
four
years-
and
I
really
would
like
her
to
be
a
mayor
in
her
first
term,
but
but
I'm
welcoming
her
another
leadership
as
a
vice
mayor.
So
congratulations
to
both
of
you.
K
L
A
I
A
A
We
have
our
county
supervisor
representing
cupertino
joseminion
on
the
line,
and
we
also
have
the
state
assembly,
member,
representing
cupertino,
evan
lowe
and
so
in
respect
of
their
respective
times
and
public
schedules
I'll
go
ahead
and
provide
supervisor
committee
and
as
well
as
assembly
member
load
that
opportunity
and
I
do
apologize.
This
is
not
deliberate
in
an
effort
to
accede
to
the
requests
and
the
very
wise
you
know
judgment
and
guidance
to
delegate
more
duties
to
vice
mayor
chao.
A
N
Thank
you,
mr
mayor,
and
I
get
to
say
thank
you,
mr
mayor,
yet
again,
apparently
so.
Thank
you,
mr
mayor.
Thank
you
vice
mayor,
chao
and
and
council
members.
I
really
just
want
to
tell
you
how
pleasant
it
is
to
be
able
to
sit
in
on
this
conversation.
This
meeting
watch
the
process,
work
its
magic
and
produce
a
set
of
leaders
for
the
year
ahead.
N
We've
worked
together
on
parks
matters,
obviously
on
health
care
matters
this
year
as
well,
just
a
whole
host
of
issues,
so,
whether
it's
transportation
or
health
care
or
parks
or
any
other
matter.
Please
know
that
my
office
and
I
are
always
available
to
meet
with
any
and
all
of
you
and
mr,
I
guess
I
should
say
mr
mayor
darcy,
I'm
going
to
take
the
gentle
prompt
of
council
member
moore
and
make
sure
that
you
get
through
that
30
plus
item
agenda
tonight.
A
A
O
A
F
Congratulations,
mayor,
darcy
and
vice
mayor
ciao,
you
guys,
I
love
the
term
the
team.
It
sounds
like
the
royal
family,
but
the
firm
you
guys
all
of
the
city
council
members,
the
staff.
Everyone
has
just
done
a
wonderful
job.
Congratulations
on
the
new
mayor
and
the
new
vice
mayor
and
our
existing
city
council
members.
Good
luck
in
the
next
year.
F
A
P
It
is
a
little
unusual
to
say,
hi
and
bye
do
the
same
too
so,
but
I'm
very
happy
at
the
result
and
for
all
the
reasons
that
were
brought
up
by
most
of
you
this
evening.
So
congratulations
carry
on.
We
can't
skip
a
beat.
We
got
it.
I
bet
chris
is
happy
to
to
have
the
same
crew
to
work
with,
and
I
think
it's
a
huge
benefit
for
our
incoming
city
manager
and
good
luck.
Q
Q
Thank
you
for
your
service
on
so
many
areas,
but
stepping
up
once
again
to
be
vice
mayor,
and
we
look
forward
to
you
taking
on
more
responsibility
and
in
the
12
months
from
now
stepping
up
and
helping
to
guide
our
community
in
another
coming
year.
Thanks
again
to
both
of
you
for
your
exceptional
service
and
please
that
other
rick
kittson.
That's
not
me.
That's
our
president!
R
Thank
you
mayor
paul
good
evening
council
and
city
staff,
claire
vareseo,
community
librarian,
for
cupertino
library
and
on
behalf
of
the
library
and
santa
clara
county
library
district.
I
congratulate
our
newly
appointed
mayor
and
vice
mayor.
We
look
forward
to
working
with
them
both
in
2022,
particularly
as
we
conclude
construction
on
our
library,
expansion
project,
opening
these
exciting
new
community
spaces
to
our
library
patrons
in
just
a
few
months.
Mayor
paul
has
been
a
fantastic
champion
of
this
effort,
but
we've
greatly
appreciated
the
support
of
this
project
by
all
members
of
our
council.
R
A
A
E
A
A
If
you,
your
microphone,
muted,
if
you
could
mute
it
now,
I'd
appreciate
that,
because
there's
a
little
bit
of
background
noise
coming
through
all
right,
so
we
have
five
members
of
our
public
you'll
have
three
minutes.
We
have
jennifer
griffin,
jen,
h,
rhoda
fry
tracy,
k
and
peggy
griffin
with
hands
raised
at
this
point
and
a
reminder
to
the
public.
If
you
want
to
speak
during
oral
communications,
you'll
need
to
have
your
hand
raised
by
the
time.
Our
first
speaker,
jennifer
griffin,
is
concluded.
Welcome,
jennifer,.
F
Congratulations
again
to
mayor
vice
mayor
and
our
city
council
members.
My
name
is
jennifer
griffin
and
I
sent
you
all
an
email.
I
think
two
days
ago
about
the
fight
to
save
the
graves
house,
which
is
on
mitzi
avenue
right
off
of
saratoga
avenue.
This
home
is
from
1868
the
two
graves
brothers,
jacob
and
sylvester
owned
the
land
from
one
side
of
saratoga
avenue.
All
the
way
down
to
saratoga
creek
near
us.
F
F
There
was
an
apartment,
complex
project
that
was
supposed
to
be
built
around
it
with
preservation
of
the
home,
but
that
fell
through
the
house.
Now
is
sitting.
It
is
not
secured
for
the
weather,
the
history,
san
jose
and
pak.
The
the
preservation
action
coalition
of
san
jose,
which
is
their
history
group,
are
trying
to
help
get
the
structure
secured.
F
I
am
hoping
that
it
can
either
be
moved
to
kelly
park
where
my
friend's
family
home
is
actually
located
or
that
it
can
be
turned
into
some
sort
of
a
historical
structure.
This
this
property
is
very,
very
important
for
the
agricultural
history
of
west
san
jose.
The
bollinger
family
were
pioneer
families
in
cupertino,
as
it
appears
that
the
graves
families
were
too
graves
avenue
in
west
san
jose
is
named
for
them
also.
F
So
I
would
hope
that
anyone
that
is
interested
in
the
preservation
contact,
history,
san
jose
or
the
pac
san
jose
to
donate
money
or
see
if
you
can
help
to
have
this
historic
structure
secured
and
then
safely
treasured
for
the
rest
of
its
time.
I
it's
in
very
poor
condition
now,
but
I
think
that
it's
savable.
Thank
you
so
much
for
any
help.
You
can
do.
Thank
you.
S
From
the
first
configuration
con
graduation
for
the
mayor
and
vice
mayor
elections
like
back
again
and
there's
two
items
we
talked
about
it
and
one
is
the
unboxing
graph,
india
and
we
actually
live
not
far
from
the
highway
ramp
onto
the
wharf
and
there's
graffiti
there
everywhere,
I'm
not
sure
the
city's
aware
that
yeah.
So
I
hope,
maybe
you
know
some
maybe
will
be
gone.
S
Another
thing
is
about
them.
We
have
a
residential
blot,
has
a
structure
in
the
backyard,
a
complete
structure
shed
and
this
year,
we're
still
in
the
process
of
a
finalized
commit
because
we
got
to
symbolic,
commit
and
also
with,
has
a
appeal
going
on
as
well,
and
it
is
this
communication
between
the
outside
lawyers.
I
haven't
been
able
to
reach
her
or
get
her
callback
since
the
thanksgiving
time,
and
I
sent
her
a
document
about
hearing
about.
S
S
S
You
guys
can
have
some
investigate
on
that
and
also
give
us
guidance
what
happened
to
the
process,
because
it
was
a
very
murky
to
the
end
and
very
messy,
because
we
we
didn't
get
any
feedback
talking
to
the
attorneys
either
and
processes
core
hearings
still
going
on
on
this
matter.
Class
permit
situation.
So
I
really
appreciate
it.
S
A
G
Good
evening,
council
members
just
wanted
to
put
out
a
public
announcement
that
the
mid
peninsula
regional,
open
space
district
is
having
a
board
meeting
tomorrow
night
and
unlike
the
city
of
cupertino,
their
meetings
are
not.
The
recorded
meetings
are
not
available
easily
to
the
public.
So
if
you
want
to
know
what
goes
on
there,
then
I
suggest
you
turn
tune
in
one
of
your
agenda.
Items
is
lehigh
and
a
representative
from
lehigh
will
be
speaking
to
the
open
space
district.
So
I
urge
you
to
attend.
G
So
that's
the
good
news
on
the
bad
news
front
is
that
lehigh
has
excluded
a
landslide,
that's
above
permanente
creek
from
its
reclamation
plan
and
at
least
two
agencies
have
considered
that
this
landslide
is
capable
of
blocking
the
creek
and
and
causing
and
causing
hazards
to
structures
and
and
homes
downstream.
Now
consider
that
in
1983
there
was
a
man-made
flood
actually
caused
by
the
quarry
that
inundated
block
school,
which
is
over
four
miles
downstream
so
and
it
evacuated
over
500
students.
So
this
is
a
big
deal.
G
When
agencies
talk
about
there
being
a
hazard
now,
we've
got
a
similar
hazard
going
on
at
stevens
creek
quarry.
I
think
I
brought
this
up
to
the
council
around
2019,
where
we've
got
these
unpermitted
dams
at
stevens,
creek,
quarry
they're,
holding
back
flowable
material,
you've
got
about
60
acre
feet
there
and
that's
just
a
lot
of
material
right
across
the
street,
from
from
stevens
creek
or
as
far
and
also
consider
the
stephens
creek
quarry
according
to
the
water
board,
has
basically
said
they're
incapable
of
operating
without
polluting
our
water.
G
G
T
T
I
wanted
to
share
with
you
a
deep
injustice
that
we
recently
learned
pertaining
to
the
cupertino
school
district
board's
closure
of
ragnar,
meyerholtz
and
muir.
So
csusd
claimed
that
there
weren't
enough
students
to
attend
these
schools.
Therefore
they
needed
to
close,
but
we
recently
uncovered
the
truth
that
for
a
year,
csusd
actually
turned
away
students
from
the
schools
that
it
wanted
to
close.
This
is
shown
on
the
chart
in
red.
In
the
past
two
years
alone,
100
students
were
rejected
from
regular.
T
If
just
50
of
these
rejected
students
had
been
accepted
and
moved
forward
through
the
grades
each
year,
ragnart
would
actually
have
increasing
enrollment
year
every
year.
This
includes
the
pandemic
driven
decline.
It
is
unacceptable
to
cut
down
one
school
in
order
to
help
another.
It
is
an
outrage
that
parents
and
students
who
chose
these
schools
were
actively
denied
choice
by
a
district
that
purportedly
prides
itself
on
being
a
district
of
choice,
denying
parents
their
choice,
pushes
them
towards
private
schools
and
accelerates
enrollment
decline
in
the
district
as
a
whole
in
total
the
district
rejected.
T
If
you
can
go
to
the
next
side,
please
about
a
total
of
100
465
enrollments
from
muir,
regner
and
meierhold's.
We
recently
obtained
this
data
and
found
that
they
were
doing
the
same
thing
across
all
three
schools.
So
is
this
declining
enrollment
or
a
multi-year
consolidation
process
where
the
community
was
blindsided?
T
There's
also
the
question
of
tk,
which
we
know
in
2022
new
sim,
is
providing
billions
in
funding
to
the
state
of
california
to
support
its
expansion,
but
reagnard's
tk
was
eliminated
in
2020,
so
that's
about
50
percent
of
its
pipeline
cut
off
and
it
is
being
set
up
to
fail.
If
you
can
go
to
the
next
slide,
please
we
know
that
financials
are
a
big
deal
with
cusd
and
they
recently
just
released
an
even
better
balance
sheet
than
before.
T
So
now
it's
actually
at
a
45
million
ending
fund
balance
and
about
57
days
of
liquidity,
and
we
also
know
that
ca
state
has
a
budget
surplus.
It's
probably
going
to
return
more
money
to
the
schools,
probably
a
few
million
more
so
by
comparison,
it
only
costs
about
four
hundred
thousand
dollars
to
keep
the
school
open.
So
the
money
is
there.
Closing
schools
doesn't
seem
like
a
necessary
step
and
then,
if
you
can
go
to
the
next
slide,
please.
T
T
P
P
P
So
in
four
years
we've
had
seven
meetings
out
of
96..
Now
I
realize
that
they're
not
going
to
happen
every
two
weeks,
but
and
all
in
all
of
these
examples
or
meetings
that
actually
were
held.
There
were
fence
exceptions
for
driveway
gates,
sign
exceptions
for
commercial
buildings,
including
target
reduced
side
setbacks
for
single-family
homes.
These
were
the
things
that
were
considered
in
design
review.
P
They
were
made
elsewhere
and
I
think
it's
a
mistake
and
I
am
asking
if
someone
look
into
it,
so
we
can
get
it
back
on
track
and
if
I'm
wrong
I'm
wrong,
but
the
way
I
remember
design
review
meetings
committee
meetings,
they
were
looking
at
things
that
are
now
just
kind
of
who
knows
where
who's
looking
at
them
and
approving
them.
Because
people
are
aware
there
are
things
being
built
that
should
not
be
built
without
review,
yet
it's
impossible
or
difficult
to
find
where
they
were
review
improved.
U
I
wanted
to
speak
about
a
serious
problem
that
is
being
created
by
cusd,
so
deciding
to
shut
down
regnard
elementary
school
cusc
is
creating
a
new
problem
of
too
many
students
at
lincoln
elementary
lincoln.
My
technical
technically
have
capacity
for
over
700
students,
but
no
formal
traffic
studies
have
been
conducted
that
700,
plus
students
can
safely
go
through
the
roads
around
lincoln.
U
U
Safety
of
our
kids
is
the
first
priority
for
us
parents,
and
we
don't
want
any
compromise
to
be
made
with
respect
to
their
safety.
Hence
we
would
like
to
request
for
the
city's
support
in
helping
stop
the
closure
of
pregnant
elementary
until
a
thorough
traffic
study.
Around
lincoln
elementary
school
is
done
for
the
safety
of
our
neighborhood
kids.
A
Thank
you
very
much,
and
that
concludes
our
oral
communications.
We
will
now
go
on
to
our
consent.
Calendar.
Our
consent
calendar
is
comprised
of
items
14-28,
madam
city
clerk.
I
know
that
we
have
at
least
one
member
of
the
public
who
has
emailed
us
requesting
to
pull
two
items.
Do
you
have
those
items
recorded.
A
Okay,
so
we'll
go
ahead
and
have
those
pulled?
Are
there
any
other
members
of
the
public
with
their
hands
raised?
At
this
point,
they
would
like
to
request
any
items
to
be
pulled.
I
don't
see
any
here.
Let
me
take
it
back
to
the
city
council.
Would
anybody
on
council
like
to
pull
any
of
the
items
from
consent
14
through
28,
accepting
19
or
21,
which
have
already
been
pulled?
A
I
don't
see
any
further
requests
and
so
I'd
like
to
ask
for
a
motion
for
consent
for
items
14
through
18
item
20
and
items
22
through
28.
councilmember
moore
has
so
moved
council
member
way.
Second,
madam
city
clerk,
would
you
please
conduct
a
roll
call
vote
for
those
consent,
calendar
items
council.
A
E
A
H
V
No
there's
no
presentation
for
this
mayor
members
of
council,
chad,
mosley
city
engineer.
This
is
a
a
state
required.
An
annual
reporting
of
developer
in-law
fees
at
the
city
holds
we
report
on
these
annually
to
make
it
public
so
that
the
public
knows
what
fees
we
are
holding
from
private
developers
for
capital
improvement
projects.
V
The
report
provided
talks
about
the
money
how
much
we
have
who
we
received
it
from,
or
I
should
say
from
what
project
we've
received
it
from
and
for
what
projects
they
are
intended
to
be
used
for
again.
This
is
a
state
requirement
to
report
on
these
annually
so
that
the
public
knows
what
we
are
holding.
L
L
V
Yeah
briefly,
the
the
total
estimated
cost
is,
as
you
can
see
in
the
the
starred
portion
below
that
table
is
based
on
the
number
of
units
required
by
arena
with
a
rough
approximation
of
the
cost
to
construct
those
units
that
added
up
totals
to
about
160.3
million
dollars
for
the
total
numbers
required
by
the
arena.
Allocation
abag
is
considering
revisions
to
that,
so
that
number
could
quite
possibly
jump
next
year,
based
on
the
additional
housing
units
that'll
be
required.
L
L
V
I'm
probably
not
the
best
person
to
be
doing
that.
I'm
not
the
housing
manager,
I'm
just
reporting
on
these
items
here,
but
my
understanding
is
that
is
the
the
the
difference
in
cost
based
on
what
the
cost
is
for
the
units
versus
the
affordable
amount.
I
guess
the
difference
to
construct
versus
the
the
amount
that
is
actually
being
paid
for
it.
But
again
I
can
get
you
a
more
definitive
answer
from
our
housing
professionals
that
work
in
this
area
closely.
L
V
A
Okay,
so
councilmember
moore
moved
to
table
the
item
until
a
future
date
and
we'll
council
member
more
with
your
label,
identify
december
21st
as
the
date
certain
in
your
motion
and
then
you're
nodding.
But
let
me
get
an
affirmative
consent:
vocal,
yes,
okay,
good
vice
mayor
chow.
Do
you
accept
that
as
the
second
order
of
the
motion.
J
A
H
Yes,
mr
mayor,
thank
you
very
much.
The
21st
will
meet
the
180
day
deadline.
I
would
just
ask
because
there's
multiple
departments
involved.
Finance
and
public
works
prepare
the
report,
because
it's
just
a
recitation
of
impact
fees,
but
many
of
the
impact
fees
involve
different
departments.
So
if
council
members
can
get
the
questions
they
have
on
the
report,
since
you
already
have
it
into
us
by
the
end
of
next
week,
then
we
will
make
sure
those
questions
are
addressed
well
in
advance
of
the
council
meeting.
A
B
A
A
Thank
you,
madam
city
clerk
and
item
21,
which
was
also
pulled
from
consent,
is
to
consider
authorization
to
design
a
design,
professional
services
agreement
between
the
city
of
cupertino
and
mig
incorporated
for
the
all-inclusive
playground
at
jolieman
park.
Mr
interim
city
manager,
larson,
I
take
it.
Someone
from
parks
and
rec
can
speak
to
this,
and
perhaps
even
has
a
presentation
on
the
item.
Is
that
correct.
H
A
E
Thank
you,
mayor,
paul
and
city
staff.
I
had
three
questions:
the
all-inclusive
playground.
A
lot
of
the
community
is
interested
in
and
it's
been
talked
about
for
years,
and
so
I
thought
pulling
it
would
draw
attention
to
it
for
the
community
benefit,
but
also
I
had
three
questions.
One
is:
does
mig
have
experience
designing
all-inclusive
playgrounds?
E
If
so,
where
my
concern
with
designing
these
are,
is
they
it
says
it's
going
to
do
public
input?
The
majority
of
the
public
is
not
aware
of
the
needs
of
special
needs.
Individuals
designing
something
that
works
for
both
takes
training
and
experience,
and
I'm
concerned
about
this.
I
mean
think
about
a
forty-year-old
seven-year-old,
that's
overweight,
because
of
medication.
E
E
E
A
Thank
you,
peggy,
and
so
let's
bring
it
back
to
staff
at
this
point
now
that
we
have
the
concerns
vocalized
from
the
member
of
the
public
pulling
the
item,
would
we
like
to
speak
to
any
of
those
points
raised,
and
I
see
that
chad
has
his
camera
back
on?
Would
you
like
to
speak
to
that
or
interim
city
manager,
larson.
H
I'll
speak
to
the
stakeholder
question
and
that's
the
sort
of
information
we
can
certainly
list
on
the
web
page
for
this
project
as
it
goes
forward-
and
I
see
also
susan
michael-
has
joined
us
he's
our
capital,
improvement
programs,
manager,
chad
or
susan.
Do
you
want
to
deal
with
the
firm's
qualifications
on
dealing
with
accessible
parks.
W
W
A
X
X
A
J
Hi,
so
I
would
also
like
to
know
what
time
what
other
projects
mig
has
done.
I
am
glad
to
hear
that
staff
is
impressed
with
the
work,
and
so
that
makes
me
more
curious.
So
could
we
have
that
information
available
and
maybe
post
it
on
the
project
website,
so
that
the
public
would
have
easy
access
to
this
consultant?
We
choose
and
the
reasons
and
be
excited
about
the
other
projects
they
have
done.
H
I
believe
some
of
the
information
is
in
the
contract
as
an
attachment
attached
to
the
staff
report,
and
we
are
certainly
willing
to
post
that
on
the
city
project
page
as
well
as
maybe
even
ask
the
applicant
or
the
contractor
for
photos
of
those
completed
projects
or
project
designs
or
inclusion
on
the
project
page
as
well
and
chad.
If
you
have
the
actual
packet
page
number
or
the
attachment
page
number
that
might
help
the
council
find
it.
V
V
W
W
This
one
is
a
dimension
that
I
had
before
of
the
backyard
at
the
children's
discovery:
museum
in
san
jose
and
at
the
emma
push
all
inclusive
playgrounds,
really
love
that
little
rooster
the
carter
park,
improvements
in
oakland
they
listed
and
another
garden
in
texas.
They
showed
they're
limited
in
their
pages.
I'm
sure
you
could
go
to
their
website
too
and
see
more
projects
and
they
mention
their
contacts
here.
W
J
W
Yes,
we
we
actually
received
the
applications
and
we
had
an
internal
staff
panel
to
review
the
applications.
We
had
one
person
from
parks
and
rec
the
cip
project
manager
on
the
project,
as
well
as
myself,
to
review
the
applications,
and
then
we
came
together
and
came
to
consensus.
There
were
actually
six
submittals
and
from
that
list
we
decided
to
check
the
references
for
four
of
the
firms
and
then,
after
that,
we
decided
to
interview
three,
I
think,
there's
two
firms
or
three
firms
and,
of
course,
checking
all
the
references.
W
L
Hey
thank
you
so
I
I
do
remember
this.
This
project
was
going
through
the
the
the
the
city
a
few
years
ago,
and
there
were
two
different
options
for
for
jolly
man.
I
believe
it
could
have
been
a
different
firm
was
was
looking
into
it
and
then
for
some
reason.
That
project
did
not
continue,
and
now
I'm
seeing
that
it's
back,
we
had
a
an
original
fundraising
goal
of
2.3
million
dollars,
and
now
the
fundraising
goal
is
1
million
dollars.
I'm
just
curious
how
that
amount
is
how?
W
Please,
thank
you,
so
the
project
was
originally
submitted
for
an
aipg
grant
all-inclusive
playground,
grant
that
many
jurisdictions
applied
for
and
we
did
secure
a
grant.
That
was
larger.
We
looking
into
the
project
and
the
amount
of
fundraising
that
would
be
required
and
the
scope
of
the
project
as
well.
It
was
decided
to
reduce
the
scope
to
be
more
realistic
and
actually
more
appropriate,
so
that
was
when
the
overall
funding
for
the
project
was
reduced
and
the
grant
application
was
I
just.
W
W
We
are
in
the
process
of
trying
to
get
to
the
next
step
of
having
a
task
force
engaging
the
community
in
that
fundraising
and
we
just
we
are
in
the
process
of
doing
that.
It's
very
key
to
the
project,
the
success
of
the
project,
and
I
think
we,
you
will
be
hearing
more
from
that,
especially
through
the
parks
and
rec
commission,
where
we
will
be
making
a
presentation
there.
L
W
H
If
I
might
add,
mr
mayor,
the
county
board
of
supervisors,
when
providing
the
funding
required
the
a
fundraising
goal,
and
due
to
the
pandemic,
as
described
by
ms
michael,
the
county's
requirement
for
that
fundraising
role,
they
have
dropped
from
2.3
million
down
to
1
million
and
and
that's
part
of
the
total
funding
package
for
this
project,
as
required
by
the
county.
For
the
sizeable
grant
we
received
from
the
county
for
this
project.
A
A
W
Yes,
mr
meyer,
I
would
say
that
we
did.
We
were
very
aware
of
their
keen
interest
in
the
project
and
are
we
we
definitely
carefully
considered
their
application.
Ultimately,
we
were
not
as
impressed
with
what
their
submittal
was.
We
did
call
their
references.
They
were
not
one
of
the
firms
that
we
interviewed.
W
H
I
may
jump
in
mr
mayor,
so
there
were
six
firms
that
proposed
references
were
checked
on
four
of
them,
including
magical
bridge
in
mig
and
pga
after
the
reference
checks.
Two
of
those
four
were
selected
for
interviews
and
the
two,
as
described
in
the
staff
report
that
were
selected,
were
mig
and
pga
design.
Following
the
interviews
and
the
selection
of
mig,
they
came
in
and
created
the
costing
proposal
and
detailed
plan.
That's
before
you
tonight,
as
staff's
recommendation.
C
A
I
understand
what's
in
the
staff
report,
so
some
of
the
language
that's
been
used
this
evening
has
to
do
with
appropriate
and
so
just
with
regard
to
public
oversight
function,
I'm
just
wondering
you
know,
to
the
extent
that
you
feel
comfortable
divulging
it,
but
of
course
it's
all
public
right.
I
mean
this
is
our
opportunity
to
get
some
transparency
into
the
process.
A
What
were
the
metrics
for
determining
whether
something
is
appropriate
or
not,
or
at
least
what
were
the
overriding
ones
you
know
so
so
apparently,
meg
had
a
design
proposal
that
seemed
to
be
more
appropriate
for
the
community
than
what
was
originally
proposed.
What
aspects
of
that
were
being
more
appropriate
for
our
community.
W
Yes,
so
there
not
only
did
they
have
the
experience
in
the
project
type,
they
had
well
seasoned
professionals,
a
well-balanced
consultant
team
and
they
showed
skills
in
the
technical,
as
well
as
the
project
management
and
maybe
in
some
ways,
very
importantly,
in
the
design
and
the
creativity
of
the
project,
and
we
felt
that
all
of
those
things
combined
made
them
the
best
candidate
for
this
particular
project,
and
I
think
that
other
candidates
did
not
shine
as
well.
In
some
of
those
categories.
A
A
M
So
so
analysis
under
the
pra
can
be
a
case-by-case
test,
but
generally
there
has
been
found
to
be
a
strong
interest
in
confidentiality
of
rfps.
While
there
is
an
ongoing
bidding
and
negotiation
process
because
it,
you
know,
the
the
possibility
of
one
bidder
to
use
information
in
another
rfp
to
undermine
negotiations
with
the
city
regarding
a
contract
has
been
held
to
be
a
strong
interest
that
outweighs
the
interest
in
disclosure
to
the
public
after
the
process
is
done.
M
A
How
are
they
expected
to
make
an
assessment?
Is
access
to
council
consider
part
of
that
general
swath
of
unavailability
or
okay?
Could
that
be
potentially
requested
ahead
of
time
prior
to
us,
you
know,
literally
being
you
know,
asked
to
make
a
decision
in
the
absence
of
being
able
to
access
the
proposals
themselves.
M
A
M
So
the
the
yeah,
so
that's
exactly
right.
The
public
records
act
is
a
balancing
test,
and-
and
that's
you
know
what
I
described
is
generally,
where
the
lines
have
drawn.
You
know
there
are
other
issues
related
to
procurement.
Where
we,
you
know,
we
do
want
to
have
an
objective
process
for
evaluating
rfps
and
and
so.
J
A
A
J
Hi,
yes,
actually
thank
you,
staff
for
including
the
six
firms
in
the
staff
report
and
the
two
firms
that
you
have
selected
for
interview
and
so
to
make
it
this
process
a
little
more
clear.
However,
I
wish
to
know
what
criteria
are
used
for
this
kind
of
ranking
in
selection.
The
reason
is
in
the
prop
16
pack
campaign.
Last
year
I
read
about
some
of
the
contracting
on
some
smaller
companies,
especially
minorities.
J
What
makes
them
stand
out,
then
they
can
learn
next
time
they
can
improve
their
proposal.
I
understand
that
before
we
make
the
solution,
the
selection
likely
there
is
legal
consideration.
However,
after
selection
is
made,
I
wonder
if
it's
possible,
that
we
post
everything
and
then
the
ranking
criteria,
how
how
what
what
we
value
as
a
ct
with
selecting
consultant.
I
think
that
would
go
a
long
way
for
transparency
and
helping
any
underrepresented
minority
companies
to
win
a
future
b.
Thank
you.
A
H
L
Okay,
yes,
thank
you,
two
questions,
one
regarding
the
the
rfqs
we
are
as
council
members
allowed
to
when,
when
you're
doing
interviews,
we
are
allowed
to
attend,
as
far
as
I
know,
and
we
aren't
allowed
to
speak.
But
if
you
were
doing
interviews
of
the
companies,
we
would
be
allowed
to
observe
that
process.
As
far
as
I
know,
so
I
just
want
to
check
on
that.
L
The
second
one
is
because
we
have
a
second
item,
the
lawrence
committee
park
and
trail
authorization,
which
was
item
22
question
for
chris.
If
we're,
if
the.
If
the
mayor
wants
to
see
this
particular
item
revisited,
are
we
at
liberty,
since
we've
already
passed
it
through
on
consent?
Are
we
allowed
to
revisit
an
item
during
the
same
meeting
and
and
and
for
consideration
or
is
it
or
is
it
essentially
that
that
item's
gone
and
we
can't
look
at
it.
A
Oh
and
we
can
you
can
reconsider
an
item.
That's
been
passed,
but
I
you
know,
I'm
I'm.
You
know,
I'm
I'm
fine
with
this
item.
I'm
fine
with
the
lawrence
mini
item,
so
I
mean,
but
if
you
wanted
to
you,
could
you
could
you
could
suggest
reconsideration?
I
would
need
to.
I
would
need
to
refer
to
our
city
attorney
to
provide
more
detailed
guidance
as
to
what
the
specific
requirements
are
for
reconsideration.
A
L
A
No,
I
I
do
appreciate
the
comment
you
know
seeing
us
now.
That's
a
separate
item
I'll
leave
my
comment
at
that,
but
yeah
I
I
I
I
hear
what
you're
saying
I
hear
what
vice
mayor
chow
is
saying
with
regard
to
you
know
trying
to
get
a
sense
of
parity
in
the
field,
but
yeah
I
I
just.
I
felt
a
responsibility
to
ask
questions
I
did
this
evening
and
also
to
shine.
You
know
more
of
a
light
upon.
A
You
know
the
there's,
a
constant
push,
pull
in
a
lot
of
these
tensions.
Right
I
mean
you
just
you
know
we
push
for
public
transparency
and
remind
you
know,
people
that
you
know
we're
working
ultimately
for
the
public
and
you're
trying
to
disclose
more
information.
But
you
know,
apparently
I
don't
have.
I
don't
have
issue
with
the
mechanics
of
what
the
choice
was
or
a
recommendation.
A
Yeah
I
mean
let
me
just
answer
that
I
mean
very
very
briefly.
I
mean
just
kind
of
taking
forward
about
seven
years
of
that
experience
I
mean
the
best
thing
I
can
say
you
know,
because
in
in
case
law
and
and
written
you
know
legal
parsing
and
analysis,
it's
it's
a
bit
of
a
balance
and
a
dance.
But
when
it
comes
to
this,
it's
really
a
balance
and
a
dance.
A
That's
right,
I
mean
you've,
got
you've,
got
paid
professionals
that
do
this,
you
know
for
their
careers
and
basically
you
know,
I
think,
in
a
lot
of
ways.
Rightly
don't
want.
You
know
people
look
over
their
shoulders,
but
I
mean
and
then
at
the
same
time
where
the
public
officials
elected
and
selected
by
members
of
the
public,
ultimately
we
have
an
oversight,
function,
that's
codified,
but
then
there's
this
constant
push
pull
right.
I
mean
it's
sort
of
like
you
know,
you
know,
let
us
do
our
jobs
versus
well,
you
know.
A
Part
of
the
job
is
to
be
answerable
to
the
so
so
I
will
say
this
just
by
way
of
a
very
brief
example:
when
we
had
a
prior
project,
which
was
basically
the
you
know,
stephen
street
corridor,
to
just
get
redone,
although
all
together
right,
we
made
a
policy
decision
early
on
in
my
first
term
to
basically
make
a
city-wide
parks
and
rec
master
plan.
Okay,
that
was
the
genesis
of
the
city-wide
parks,
direct
master
plan,
and
I
actually
did
get
fairly
involved
in.
A
You
know
trying
to
find
trying
to
usher
this
through,
because
I
was
really
concerned
that
hey
look.
You
know
it
seemed
to
me
at
the
time
that
you
know
a
particular
staff
member
and
you
know,
was
working
to
try
to
push
through
a
particular
kind
of
gem
of
a
project
right,
a
kind
of
a
you
know,
kind
of
like
a
feather
in
the
cap
type
of
project,
and
so
you
know
when
that
oversight
does
get
invoked.
A
You
know,
I
think
that
that's
when
you
start
testing
the
limits
of
you
know
what
your
oversight
function
allows
you
to
see
and
when
it
allows
you
to
see
it
here,
you
know,
I
think,
that's
a
more
generalized
question.
You
know,
for
you
know
further
discussion
and
consideration,
but
you
know
in
this
situation
and
it's
part
of
the
reason
why
you
know
I
want
to
shine
a
bit
of
light
onto
it.
You
know
it
is
it's
an
open
question.
You
know
in
terms
of
the
public
evaluative
process.
A
I
think
these
are
very
legitimate.
You
know
questions
and
as
greg
you
know
very
rarely
points
out
in
the
future.
You
know
a
bit
more
information
could
be
disclosed
in
staff
reports.
You
know
these,
aren't
you
know
these.
Aren't
you
know
moses
from
on
high
with
the
ten
commandments
right.
There
isn't
like
a
definitive
way
to
write
down
precisely
what
the
word
is
from
up
above
on
each
and
every
one
of
these
staff
report
pages.
A
So
you
know
I
I
think
we've
achieved
a
pretty
good
balance
and
you
know,
frankly,
you
know
we've
gone
through.
You
know
these
items
in
a
pretty
good
pace.
We
still
have
a
few
hours
left
with
a
you
know
a
couple
of
our
really
major
items,
but
at
this
point
you
know
with
everyone's
leave.
I
would
like
to
try
to
move
this
along.
You
know
greg.
You
have
your
hand
raised
vice
mayor,
you
have
your
hand
raised
as
well,
but
you
know
unless
it's
a
bit
of
a
burning
comment.
A
H
I
will
just
follow
up
with
the
summary
there's
a
range
of
options
for
counsel
from
policy
based,
like
you
mentioned,
mayor
to
local
preparance,
to
mbwe
preference
that
the
vice
mayor
spoke
to
to
like
the
water
lease.
We
brought
you
last
month
where
we
had.
The
council
approve
the
terms
of
the
water
lease,
so
we
knew
what
to
put
in
the
rfp.
So
it
is
a
gradation
of
steps
that
we
can
present
to
council
based
on
the
policy
level,
issues
involved
and
I'll
provide
more
detail
to
council.
Before
I.
A
J
The
agreement
scope
of
work
does
say
that
they
will
develop
a
community
outreach
and
engagement
plan
that
will
identify
step
stakeholders.
I
think
the
comment
earlier
by
the
public
is
whether,
because
this
is
supposed
to
be
for
special
needs
children
who
have
very
special
needs
for
playground
equipment.
So
how
will
those
children
their
families
get
involved?
That
will
be
part
of
that
plan.
So
I
would
like
to
know
the
timeline
of
this
plan.
Would
that
come
back
to
the
council,
so
the
public
would
then
have
a
chance
to
be
engaged
beyond
today.
A
B
A
A
A
A
Okay,
we
are
now
coming
up
on
nine
o'clock.
We
have
three
substantive
items
left
on
the
agenda.
One
should
go
fairly
quickly
and
two
are.
I
would
expect
going
to
comprise
the
remainder
of
our
maybe
hour
after
15
minutes,
for
each
let's
go
ahead
and
take
a
break
until
nine
o'clock
and
then
try
to
push
this
through
until
we
conclude
the
remainder
of
the
agenda,
so
we'll
come
back
a
few
minutes
to
finish
out
our
items
30
through
32
or
29
through
31.
I
should
say.
