Description
Coverage of the Cupertino City Council Teleconference Meeting, recorded on Tuesday, November 16, 2021. Part 3 of 3.
A
Along
with
the
other
information
provided
in
the
agenda
item
number
16
for
our
meeting
tonight.
I
believe
that
we
have
from
staff
a
couple
of
people
from
our
public
works
department
as
well
as
planning
chad.
I
see
that
you're
up
are
you
presenting
from
the
staff
presentation
on
this
you're
saying
all
right.
B
All
right,
thank
you,
mr
mayor
and
members
of
council.
My
name
is
chad
mosley,
I'm
the
assistant
director
of
public
works
and
city
engineer,
and
the
subject
of
this
item
for
westport
cupertino
development
project
is
the
final
map,
the
subdivision
improvement
agreement
and
the
affordable
housing
regulatory
agreements
and
declaration
of
restrictive
covenants,
basically
called
the
bmr
agreements.
B
On
september,
7th
city
council
approved
a
vesting
tentative
map
to
facilitate
development
of
88
town
homes,
row,
homes,
48,
bmr
senior,
residential
units,
131
senior
residential
units
and
mixed
use.
Mixed
retail
uses
staff
has
reviewed
the
map
and
determined
it
to
be
substantially
compliant
to
the
approved
tentative
map
and
that
it
conforms
to
the
requirements
of
the
subdivision
map
act,
permune
codes
and
government
code.
The
approval
is
a
ministerial
act.
Therefore,
the
final
map
must
be
approved
if
it
is
substantially
conforms
to
the
tentative
map.
B
As
part
of
the
final
map
approval,
the
city
clerk
will
accept,
on
behalf
of
the
city
council,
the
roadway
dedication
and
easements
necessary
to
accommodate
the
approved
use
of
the
project,
including
a
pedestrian
and
bicycle
access,
easement
connecting
mary
avenue
to
stevens
creek
along
the
westerly
portion
of
the
property.
The
map
also
abandons
redundant
roadway
and
drainage.
Easements,
the
proposed
roadway
dedication
and
fee
title
will
encompass,
preserve
and
protect
any
public
utilities
within
the
area.
B
B
A
new
center
island
gateway,
sign,
new
sidewalks
driveways
utility
connections
for
the
project,
landscaping
along
stevens
creek
boulevard,
which
is
consistent
with
the
heart
of
the
city.
Specific
plan,
modifications
to
the
existing
crosswalk
on
mary
avenue,
which
include
enhanced
visibility
and
rapid
flashing
beacons.
B
B
Pursuant
to
cupertino
municipal
code,
the
applicant
has
provided
security
bonds
for
the
completion
of
the
various
street
improvements
and
has
paid
various
city
fees.
With
the
exception
of
the
park,
land,
dedication
and
luffy's,
the
applicant
has
requested
the
park
fees
be
deferred
till
after
the
final
map,
recreation
or
until
december
31st.
B
Whichever
is
whichever
is
sooner
I
actually,
I
I
take
that
back.
It'll,
be
after
the
final
map,
recreation
and
it'll,
be
either
until
december,
31st
or
till
the
closing
of
any
property
transfer.
Whatever
clear,
whichever
occurs
first,
the
applicant
explained
some
project
funding
is
contingent
upon
the
recordation
of
the
final
map
and,
furthermore,
the
applicant
indicated.
The
final
map
must
be
filed
with
the
county
soon
after
city
council's
approval,
in
order
for
the
builder
of
the
bmr
units
to
have
a
separate
parcel
which
is
required
to
close
a
transaction
of
their
financing.
A
Hey,
thank
you,
chad.
I
appreciate
you
being
brief
here.
We
will
go
ahead
to
members
of
the
public
before
bringing
back
to
council
for
questions
of
staff
and
your
presentation,
I
see
that
a
couple
of
people
have
their
hands
raised.
At
this
point
we
have
peggy
griffin
as
well
as
jennifer
griffin
and
so
same,
say
same
guidelines
apply
as
long
as
peggy's.
Still
speaking
as
as
the
first
speaker,
you
have
time
to
raise
your
hand
and
be
called
on
for
this
item.
A
C
Also
it's
not
as
safe
you've
got
cars,
turning
right
from
mary
avenue
and
you've
got
a
bus
pulling
it
in
and
out
the
safest
place
for
that.
Bus
stop
is
in
front
of
the
senior
center
where
it
currently
exists,
and
I
don't
understand
why
there
wasn't
some
discussion
about
that
when
you
guys
said
you
would
be
looking
into
it
later
and
now,
all
of
a
sudden,
it's
a
done
deal.
A
D
Thank
you,
mayor
darcy
hi,
I'm
jennifer
griffin
and
I
just
had
a
couple
questions
about
the
project.
I
noticed
they
did
the
demolition
over
the
weekend.
We
drove
past
it
several
times.
I
will
tell
you,
I
was
very
sad
to
see
it
go
down,
but-
and
god
knows
the
oaks
inside,
but
I
won't
go
there
anyway.
Why
are
the
in
in
terms
of
the
bmr
units?
D
D
When
we
have
bmr
units
we
need
to
add
to
cupertino
stock
of
bmr
units.
I
don't
like
the
fact
that
we
are
subsidizing,
I'm
not
going
to
say
subsidizing.
I
think
that
bmr
units
in
places
like
this.
This
is
a
large
residential
development
that
they
should
be
released
to
the
city
to
be
part
of
our
bmr
program,
and
I
don't
understand
why
that
was
not
done
in
this
case.
I
I
don't
understand
the
federal
part
of
this.
I
also
hope
that
these
units
can
never
be
sold.
D
E
Thank
you
I'll,
just
echo
peggy,
because
there
was
a
lot
of
discussion
about
that
bus
stop
and
I
don't
understand
in
addition
to
putting
in
a
place
that
is
less
desirable,
the
expense
to
do
so.
So
I
also
question
that,
and
I
I
don't
know
if
all
the
bike
path
situations
have
been
resolved
and
the
promises
for
bike
paths
or
at
least
a
bike
route,
I
I'm
sorry.
E
F
Yes,
thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
speak.
I
just
wanted
to
echo
the
earlier
speakers
that
the
section
where
the
bus
stop
is
being
moved
is
an
area
of
high
congestion,
as
traffic
starts
to
merge
towards
the
85
northbound
entryway,
and
I
request
the
city
council
to
ensure
that
a
traffic
study
is
done
on
the
impact
of
these
changes
and
we
avoid
causing
any
more
traffic
congestion
in
this
area.
F
I
also
want
to
second
the
earlier
comment
about
the
sad
loss
of
a
number
of
oakleys
from
that
property
and
request
the
city
council
to
ensure
that
oak
trees
are
replaced
to
the
extent
they
can
be
as
a
part
of
the
plan
for
the
development
and
finally,
I'd
be
curious.
Why
we'd
want
to
support
the
wave
of
the
parkland
fees,
which
I
think
is
to
the
tune
of
about
9.2
million,
as
I
can
see
in
the
dock
here,
I'd
be
curious.
A
G
Yes,
I
I
believe
that
the
bus
stop
situation
was
addressed
during
the
discussion
for
the
tentative
map,
and
I
was
wondering
if
we
could
hear
about
that
again,
and
it
sounds
as
though
from
looking
at
the
staff
report
that
you
plan
the
installation
of
flashing
lights
on
mary.
So
I
I
was
wondering
if,
if
chad
could
repeat
the
information
about
why
the
bus
stop
would
be
located
there
and
why?
G
B
B
This
was
requested
specifically
by
the
transit
authority
with
respect
to
the
crosswalk
on
mary
avenue
right
now,
it's
just
a
mid-block
crossing
and
we
are
looking
to
put
in
rapid
pedestrian
actuated
rapid
flashing.
Beast
means
to
allow
for
pedestrians
to
be
more
visible
or
at
least
to
alert
drivers
of
pedestrians
in
the
crosswalk.
G
B
G
H
But
what
do
our
residents
and
community
want,
and
so
I
think
you
know
the
planning
commission
should
be
looking
at
that
from
the
community
standpoint
for
the
bmr.
I
would
also
say
something
similar
as
the
housing
commission
looked
at
these
changes
that
the
the
federal
government
yeah
the
the
developer,
wants.
The
developer
wants
to
go
and
get
the
most
money
that
he
can
in
that
regard,
but
I
think
we
have
a
housing
commission
that
would
be
looking
at
it
from
the
community
standpoint.
B
I
answer
with
respect
to
the
the
bus
stop.
There
are
other
reasons.
There
are
safety
reasons
for
relocating
the
west
side.
It's
not
just
bta's
request
by
placing
the
bus
stop
on
the
west
side,
you're
minimizing
a
potential
visual
obstruction,
considering
consider
somebody
at
the
east
leg
of
the
intersection.
If
the
bus
was
located
there,
people
going
around
the
bus
have
a
harder
time
seeing
pedestrians
that
may
be
trying
to
cross
that
intersection.
There
are.
I
B
B
J
Okay,
yeah,
if
I,
if
I
make
council
member
willie
I'll,
try
to
clarify
and
add
to
chad's
comments,
so
the
what's
being
presented
to
council
is
approval
of
the
final
map
and
so
to
the.
If,
if
to
the
extent,
the
final
map
conforms
with
the
tentative
map,
you
know
that
that
is
a
ministerial
decision
and
you
know
there's
not
discretion
to
approve,
but
there
are
are
two
issues
that
are
being
presented
for
council's
consideration.
Here.
One
is
the
deferral
of
the
the
payment
of
the
parkland
fees,
so.
I
K
H
Yeah,
well,
I
I
do
think
we
need
to
be
aware
of.
You
know
that
not
one
not
two,
but
three
residents
apparently
think
that
you
know
the
suggestions
were
made
and
not
sufficiently
covered.
I
I
do
remember.
We
talked
about
the
bus,
stop
and
stuff,
but
we
cover
so
many
things
for
all
of
us,
so
I
I
really
do
listen
to
the
residents
and
what
we
were
hearing
from
them
is
that
they
really
raised
this
issue.
L
H
H
H
M
M
Some
most
of
the
units
will
have
to
everyone
have
to
do
a
new
certification
for
income
and
then
for
this
one
unit.
They
just
need
to
qualify
for
one
year
and
then
they
get
to
occupy
the
unit
for
55
years,
even
when
their
income
goes
up.
That
doesn't
seem
to
be
equitable
for
the
rest
of
people
who
need
low-income
housing.
M
M
No
matter
what
I
wonder,
if
we
can
give
you
the
conditional
exception,
in
condition
in
case
they
get
this
great,
maybe
we
we
could
grant
that,
but
still
I
that
still
created
an
inequitable
situation
in
cupertino
that
I
think
housing
commission
at
least,
should
be
informed
about
this
inequitable
situation
that
maybe
other
people
always
knew
as
well.
Who
knows
and
then.
J
Chris
yeah,
I'm
sorry
so
you
so
so
that
so
the
I
should
clarify
that
the
exception
is
is
conditional,
so
they
aren't
there
and
that
the
applicant
is
intending
to
seek
lip
hc
financing.
If
they
receive
it,
then
you
know
the
the
request
would
be
to
modify
the
city's
bmr
rules
to
allow
them
to
obtain
that
financing
as
to
the
effect
of
allowing
or
disallowing
that
financing
on
the
project.
J
A
M
J
M
M
M
Third,
okay,
the
vta
bus
issue:
I
think
people
have
questions
and
I
am
also
still
confused
with
the
answer.
So
if
it
is
requested
by
the
vta,
I
assume
there
is
a
letter
that
clearly
states
the
reason
this
is
necessary.
Why
is
that
safer?
So
can
we
provide
that
letter
from
vta
and
maybe
more
written
clarification
on
why
this
move,
even
without
this
project?
That
move
is
something
bta
would
recommend
and
why
and
then
I
think
then
people
will
not
feel
like
this
is
favoring
one
project.
B
M
Post
that
on
the
website,
I
think
many
people
who
have
concerns
and
can
read.
I
know
sometimes
we
hear
an
information
once
a
week
forget
so
it's
good
to
have
something
written
and
in
terms
of
bike
lane.
I
thank
you
on
like
mark
tarzini,
for
providing
the
separated
bikeway
for
for
that
section
of
stevens
creek
really
appreciated.
M
B
N
I
just
want
to
make
a
short
comment,
I'm
pretty
sure
the
well.
We
like
to
it's
very
good
that
we
hear
the
reasons
why
the
bus
is
stop
is
being
relocated,
but
I
want
to
make
it
clear
I
just
this
is
my
impression:
we're
not
we're
not
moving
the
bus.
There
must
be
reason
to
move
it
and
we're
not
benefiting
the
project
or
the
developer,
we're
going
to
benefit
the
ada
raw
homes,
the
48
senior,
affordable,
housing,
188
senior
apartments,
they're
going
to
be
our
residents,
so
I
I
I
was.
N
A
A
On
top
of
that
recommended
action.
I'd
like
to
I
like
to
motion
that
we
provide
staff
direction
to
investigate
the
usage
of
that
bus,
stop
by
the
the
members
of
the
senior
center
and
to
report
back
to
council
any
kinds
of
measures
that
we
can
take
to
help
ensure
the
safety
of
the
usage
of
the
new
location
of
the
bus,
stop
by
people
that
that
utilize,
the
senior
center.
G
A
You
know,
I
believe
so,
okay
and
since
I
didn't
make
any
comments
or
asked
questions
the
first
time
around,
you
know
I
I
I
do
want
to
make
a
few
comments
on
the
overall
project
and
the
the
conformance
of
the
the
final
map.
Here
I
you
know,
I
think,
substantively
we're
fine
there.
There
are
these
two
follow-ups.
A
A
A
As
most
of
my
colleagues
on
council
and
I
have
seen
in
just
this
last
week,
we
have
a
limited
number
of
retirement
facilities
in
cupertino
we've
gone
to
two-thirds
of
them.
You
know
we
went
over
to
the
forum
to
help
them
celebrate
their
30th
anniversary
last
week,
the
next
day
on
veterans
day,
we
went
over
to
sunnyview
and
that
really
comprises
the
the
majority
of
the
units.
The
other.
A
A
M
Yeah,
thank
you.
I'd
like
to
thank
katie
urban
to
for
pushing
to
make
this
finally
happen.
I
am
so
looking
forward
for
cupertino
to
finally
have
a
major
development
project
to
be
built
not
just
approved
and-
and
I
I
think
we
want
to
address
community
concerns,
but
then
I
am
happy
to
see
this
project
going
through.
So
thank
you
mark
terzini,
for
making
that
happen,
and
I
would
like
to
comment
a
little
about
the
movement
of
bus.
M
I
think
I
second
the
mayor's
request
for
another
look
at
safety,
because
it's
not
only
seniors.
My
kids
used
to
take
their
bus
there
to
play
technician
memorial
park,
and
then
you
have
students
going
to
the
anza
who
use
that
bus
stop
so
it
and
it's
not
like
which
it's
not,
which
for
cupertino
are
we
favoring
new
residents
or
existing
ones?
It's
just.
We
are
making
a
change,
so
we
want
to
make
sure
the
existing
users
are
going
to
be
have
continue
to
have
safety
when
they
take
bus,
so
yeah.
M
A
A
A
Thank
you,
madam
city
clerk,
and
now
we're
on
to
item
number
18
having
postponed
item
number
17
in
accordance
to
how
we
described
under
postponements.
The
subject
of
number
18
is
the
consideration
of
conducting
a
first
reading
of
an
ordinance
to
make
minor
and
technical
corrections
to
the
cooperation
municipal
code.
I
will
not
read
the
code
sections,
but
we
do
have
our
city
attorney
chris
jensen,
with
a
presentation
with
regard
to
the
specifics
of
the
changes
being
proposed
here
tonight.
J
J
J
So
the
first
is
is
to
standardize
the
schedule
of
fines
for
certain
code
violations
that
are
not
on
our
standard
schedule.
Fine
schedule
standardizing
language
for
reimbursement
of
commissioner
expenses
to
allow
for
expensive,
commissioner
expenses
to
be
reimbursed
with
the
approval
of
the
city
manager,
there's
language
in
different
sections
of
the
code.
That's
inconsistent,
and
so
the
goal
is
to
make
it
consistent
chapter
2.48,
which
lays
out
the
responsibilities
in
city
departments.
J
We
also
added
a
new
chapter
of
the
of
the
code
that
allows
remote
meetings
during
declared
states
of
emergency,
such
as
the
one
that
we're
having
tonight,
so
it
conforms
to
code
to
changes
in
state
law.
We
also
in
response
to
evolving
situations.
In
our
you
know
our
experience
in
the
pandemic,
we
are
revising
the
provisions
for
the
public
works
contract
to
support
electronic
good
procedures
that
we
have
developed
and
are
using
in
response
to
the
pandemic.
J
A
Thank
you
chris.
Let
me
take
this
to
the
members
of
the
public.
Before
we
bring
this
back
to
council,
I
don't
see
any
hands
from
the
public
at
this
point,
peggy
griffin,
welcome
your
hand,
is
raised,
and
so
I'll
remind
the
members
of
the
public
that
peggy
will
have
up
to
three
minutes
to
speak
by
the
time
he's
done
speaking.
You'll
need
to
have
your
hands
raised
in
order
to
be
called
upon
for
this
item.
Welcome
peggy.
C
A
G

If
four
one
zero
b
could
be
addressed
at
some
point
and
and
once
you
get
to
it,
you'll
you'll
see
what
could
be
the
problem
there,
but
overall
I'm
really
excited
about
seeing
these
changes
and-
and
there
may
be
some
more
in
the
future-
that
that
we
need
to
to
look
at
for
for
various
reasons.
But
did
you
pull
it
up
just
to?
I
haven't.
G

J
M
Thank
you,
hi.
Thank
you
for
doing
doing
the
annual
cleanup
so
end
of
last
year
I
was
going
through
all
the
municipal
code
for
the
different
commissions
and
I
find
out
there
are
a
lot
of
inconsistencies,
maybe
because
they
were
added
at
different
times.
So
I
sent
a
series
of
emails
to
the
former
city
manager.
That
fan
with
detailed
comments
on
where
they
are
inconsistent.

This
is

And
so,
if
members
of
the
public,
if
you
heard
your
name
and
would
still
like
to
speak
on
oral
communications,
I
will
be
going
through
this
list
in
the
order
that
I
read
the
names
and
calling
on
people
accordingly.
So
we
have
two
members
of
the
public
with
hands
raised,
leon,
zoo
and
aegean
lee,
and
now
we
have
randy
shingai.
Q
Q
The
judge
that
sentenced
the
two
killers
defended
his
decision
by
saying
these
aren't
the
kind
of
men
you
send
to
jail,
and
I
just
didn't
think
that
putting
them
in
prison
would
do
any
good
for
them
or
for
society
we're
now
in
a
period
where
anti-asian
sentiment
is
being
driven
by
relations
with
china.
People
of
color
are
not
monolithic.
Q
Each
group
has
its
own
interests,
but
we're
together
with
other
groups
when
there
is
common
ground
asian
americans
will
need
all
the
help
we
can
get
to
fight
anti-asian
violence,
but
ms
chow's
words
throw
other
groups
under
the
bus
while
at
the
same
time,
airing
grievances
about
the
unfair
treatment
of
just
her
own
group.
Where's.
The
common
ground
people
outside
the
asian
american
community
are
likely
to
think
that
ms
chao
represents
the
views
of
chinese
americans
and,
by
extension,
the
larger
asian
american
community.
Q
R
Hi
my
name
is
liam.
I
would
like
to
thank
vice
mayor
chao
for
her
excellent
work,
hosting
cusd
board
member
a
few
years
ago,
and
also
in
cupertino
council.
Now
we
support
liang
fang
chao
because
she
contributed
a
lot
for
latino
community,
especially
for
chinese
and
taiwanese
americans
living
in
this
great
city.
R
R
Some
of
our
elementary
schools
could
have
600,
700
or
even
800
students.
It
will
get
worse
when
the
cusd
provide
the
free
pre-k
for
four
years
old
children
next
school
year,
so
their
decision
will
lower
the
education
quality
in
cupertino
and
it
will
destroy
the
brand
name
of
cupertino.
That
is
the
education
quality.
R
A
We
are
not
hearing
anything,
and
so
it
is
possible
you
may
be
experiencing
some
technical
difficulties.
I
will
call
on
next
speaker
on
this
list
and
if
you
need
to
reset
sao
hwa
I'll
call
on
you,
if
you
are
raising
your
hand
by
the
time,
we
conclude
the
other
people
that
I
see
with
their
hands
raised
now
that
were
in
our
original
list
of
oral
communications
is
a
greg
and
lee
and
vera,
and
so
we'll
go
to
aegean.
Next
welcome.
S
Hi,
my
name
is
eugene
lee
and
I'm
a
educational
foundation
founder
for
10
years,
and
I
want
to
speak
out
for
miss
john.
During
my
experience,
work
with
miss
john.
He
is
working.
She
is
working
hard
and
is
really
faithful,
always
try
her
best
to
support
the
computer
community
and
for
all
those
people
in
needs,
especially
poor,
family
and
there's
the
I
mean
kids,
you
know
left
behind
so
during
the
school
closure
process,
we
got
a
lot
of
support
from
miss
john.
S
So,
during
the
issue
about
the
cyber
bully
to
miss
john,
we
feel
sorry
about
that
and
we
disagree
that
those
people
who
say
they
are
the
asian
community
leaders,
you
know,
and
they
asked
for
apologize
for
what
she
said.
I
think
this
is
a
truly
you
know
they
chop
what
miss
leong
said
and
put
their
own
words
to
miss
joe's
mouse.
So
this
is
really
you
know
ridiculous,
and
I
don't
think
these
people
like
a
eating
like
a.
Lastly
like
a
gilbert
wong,
they
are
not,
you
know,
represent
our
asian
communities.
S
A
T
T
As
a
member
of
the
google
group
where
mr
gilbert
won
claimed
that
he
obtained
such
information
from.
I
am
asserting
that
mr
gilbert
one
fabricated,
such
information,
miss
liang
chao
and
some
of
us
discussed
how
the
chinese
exclusion
act
was
campaigned
for
by
the
progressive
working
man's
party
in
california
in
the
1870s
before
it
was
eventually
signed
into
law.
In
1882,
we
discussed
the
perspectives
of
what
actually
happened
and
how
this
history
was
described
in
the
california
ethnic
studies
model
curriculum.
T
T
C
A
K
Thank
you,
council
members
for
the
opportunity
to
speak
today.
My
name
is
sudha
kasam
sedhi,
I'm
a
cupertino
resident
and
I'm
representing
myself,
I've
known
her
vice
mayor
liangcha
from
the
past
two
and
a
half
years,
she's
very
active
in
discussion
groups
that
I'm
also
part
of
I've,
seen
her
responding
on
several
issues
very
passionately
and
with
thorough
research,
including
data
and
statistics
that
you
know
we're
putting
all
the
find
that
she
does.
I've
always
found
her
very
honest
in
her
opinions
and
approach,
she's,
straightforward
and
very
balanced.
K
I
think,
and
I'm
pretty
sure
our
community
is
very
smart
and
I
request
everyone
to
read
her
whole
response.
I'm
not
going
to
reiterate
the
issue,
but
I
really
request
the
community
to
read
her
whole
response,
just
not
few
lines
that
were
posted
out
of
context
in
social
media.
I
have
read
the
whole
thread
multiple
times
and
never
found
any
bad
or
racist
comments.
K
I
even
showed
it
to
some
of
my
chinese
friends
to
confirm
and
they
were
pretty
shocked,
to
see
some
of
the
personal
attacks
that
were
coming
towards
her,
whether
you
agree
or
not.
With
her
opinion,
I
feel
very
sad
about
the
personal
attacks
that
she's
going
through
this
is
one
community
and
cupertino
has
great
history
behind
it.
It's
high
time
we
put
aside
our
differences
and
start
working
together
and
whoever
is
attacking,
if
you
think
this
will
silence
her
you're
only
empowering
mrs
chao.
Her
work
speaks
for
itself.
Thank
you
very
much.
A
U
Okay
sure
thank
you
yeah.
My
name
is
vera
and
I'm
here
to
support
the
vice
vice
mayor,
liang
chao.
So
we
all
know
chinese
community
did
a
lot
and
contributed
a
lot
in
u.s
history,
and
we
should
all
be
proud
of
this,
but
not
use
it
as
a
topic
to
manipulate
and
attack
people
who
didn't
say
and
mean
something.
U
U
So
people
nowadays
like
to
use
racist
to
be
a
big
cap
to
try
to
attack
people
who
does
not
follow
what
they
assault
and
try
to
achieve
their
own
goal
and
their
own
purpose.
In
fact,
mr
chao
is
against
all
forms
of
relations,
though.
Instead
she
is
the
real
caring
person,
so
she
tried
her
big
effort
to
communicate
with
so
many
parents
to
try
to
address
their
concern
about
the
school
resource,
about
safety,
concern
about
the
radical
sex
education
and
the
cit,
which
all
these
things
people
think
goes
to
the
wrong
direction.
U
A
Thank
you
vera
and
that
concludes
oral
communications.
Thank
you
to
our
members
of
the
public
and
we
appreciate
our
staff
and
various
consultants
serving
the
city
of
cupertino
as
well.
We
we
had
a
very
packed
agenda.
There
were
a
couple
of
items
that
did
get
moved
off.
The
postponement
on
item
number
17,
namely,
I
think,
was
going
to
recruit
a
fair
amount
of
commentary
from
the
public,
but
now
we
are
at
the
the
end
of
our
main
portion
of
the
the
agenda
for
tonight.
A
Before
we
adjourn,
we
have
council
and
staff
comments
and
future
agenda
items.
However,
I
would
like
to
ask
to
see
if
any
members
of
the
council
would
like
to
go
ahead.
I
saw
a
couple
of
hands
raised
from
the
public
at
the
oral
communications.
Is
there
an
appetite
to
perhaps
open
it
up
for
another
five
to
ten
minutes
so
that
the
residual
people
you
know,
given
the
fact
that
we're
just
past
10
30
would
like
to
speak
to
our
our
city
council?
A
If
you
have
your
hand
raised
by
the
time
we
you
know
have
our
first
speaker
done,
then
that
basically
puts
you
on
the
list,
but
but
given
our
extra
time
now
and
the
apparent
appetite
from
some
members
of
the
community
to
speak,
we'll
go
ahead
and
open
it
up,
but
I
don't
see
anyone
with
their
hand
raised
neil
park
mcclintic
and
san
r.
Those
are
a
couple
of
the
hands
that
were
raised
intermittently
and
so
neil
and
sam
you'll
both
have
two
minutes.
Each
welcome
neil.
V
Hi,
my
name
is
neil
park
mcclintick.
I
am
the
president
of
cupertino
for
all
and
I
just
wanted
to
share
some
thoughts
today
about
everything
that's
gone
down.
I
first
want
to
contextualize
that
you
know
nobody
can
possibly
account
for
every
single
person
that
supports
their
group
or
their
ideals
and
what
they
say.
But
myself
and
several
others
have
been
called
some
pretty
disgusting
stuff
online,
such
as
that
we're
demons.
V
V
V
Please
explain
this
context
to
me
because
there
is
no
context
that
justifies
those
exact
words,
and
so,
when
you
tell
us
that
you
did
not
see
that
that's
called
gaslighting
gaslighting
is
when
you
convince
someone
that
they're
crazy
or
that
they're
wrong.
But
those
are
your
words,
they
are
a
direct
quote.
I
respect
that.
You
don't
actually
feel
that
way
and
I'm
glad
you
know
the
chinese
exclusion
act
is
racist,
and
so
we
can
move
on.
V
F
F
F
F
F
Despite
cleanup,
it
has
happened
again,
so
I
request
the
city
council
to
please
extend
your
attention
to
matters
involving
the
county
in
the
matter
of
freeways
and
graffiti,
as
well
as
the
school
district
in
the
metro,
school
closures
and
kindly
bring
some
of
those
items
to
future
agendas.
Thank
you
for
all
the
work
you
do,
and
I
would
like
to
conclude
by
saying
a
word
of
support
for
vice
mayor
liang
chao
and
her
efforts
for
common
sense
and
pro-wrestling
policies.
A
L
Yes,
thank
you,
mr
mayor
and
members
of
the
council,
just
three
quick
comments.
Having
been
on
the
other
side
of
the
table,
I
just
wanted
to
congratulate
the
council
on
your
appointment
of
the
city
manager.
Tonight
you
ran
an
excellent
process.
You
had
an
excellent
pool
and
you
selected
a
great
city
manager.
I
believe
somebody
I
had
the
time
to
spend
a
couple
hours
with
of
this
week
and
I
know
I'll
be
spending
much
more
time
with
before
he
starts
january.
Third
and
possibly
even
after.
L
I
also
did
want
to
acknowledge
that
your
next
meeting
on
december
7th
is
going
to
be
a
very,
very
full
agenda.
It
will
also
be
my
last
meeting
as
your
interim
city
manager,
and
I
just
wanted
to
say
now
what
a
joy
has
been
to
work
for
this
city,
as
I'm
sure
that
your
new
study
manager
will
feel
as
well
and
in
particular,
I
wanted
to
throw
big
thanks
out
to
the
council,
both
for
the
valco
meeting,
as
well
as
tonight's
meeting,
which
was
a
very
full
agenda.
L
So
I
just
wanted
to
encourage
you
to
do
that,
particularly
on
full
agendas
for
the
seventh,
but
also
for
your
new
city
manager.
It
will
just
make
it
a
lot
easier
for
him
to
have
staff
respond
to
yours
and
the
public's
questions
and
concerns
if
the
questions
are
turned
in
in
advance,
rather
than
trying
to
wing
it
at
a
council
meeting,
and
it's
also
better
for
the
public
process
to
have
all
the
information
part
of
the
public
record.
So
everybody
knows
it.
So.
Thank
you
very
much
for
your
excellent
support
of
staff
tonight.
A
B
A
B
A
L
So
for
freeway
signage,
if
it's
on
the
green
state
signs,
all
we
can
really
do
is
refer
it
to
the
state
caltrans
which
we
will
do.
I
noted
that
if
it's
something
different,
we
can
follow
up
if
it's
in
city
limits
and
on
public
property,
and
if
it's
on
private
property,
we
can
alert
the
property
owners
and
provide
support
to
their
graffiti
abatement.
So
I
did
note
the
public
comment
vice
mayor
and
I
will
follow
up.
M
So
for
agenda
items
I
remember
angela
tui
was
attending
the
chamber
legislative
action
committee
meeting
monthly
and
in
those
meetings
she
provided
a
monthly
development
activity
report.
That'll
give
an
update
of
all
the
different
activities
and
those
were
really
nice.
And
I
wonder
if
the
new
economics
development
manager
might
be
planning
to
do
the
same
thing
and
I
hope
to
get
a
copy
of
those
report
and
then
one
community
member
asked
for
an
update
on
welcome,
I'm
wondering.
M
Maybe
we
should
also
provide
like
a
quarterly
more
detailed
update
on
local
project,
because
that's
a
continued
interest
of
the
community
and
post
that
on
the
website
and
another
item
is
what
I
mentioned:
a
potential
land
purchase
for,
affordable
housing
or
moderate
income
housing
for
maybe
employees
for
teachers.
I
think
I
forwarded
an
email
to
greg
landy,
which
is
a
company
that
provides
down
payment
assistance
to
city
staff,
and
I
wonder
if
we
could
explore
that
also
on.

Hey,
thank
you.
So,
during
the
public
safety
forum
there
was
a
presentation
by
captain
urina
and
it
he
talked
about
the
crime
kind
of
year
over
year.
How
things
were
going
and
it
was.
It
was
a
really
good
powerpoint
presentation
and
I'm
hoping
that
that
could
be
brought
to
us
and
you
know
put
out
for
the
public
to
know
because
when
you
look
at
the
items
of
interest
attachment
you'll
at
the
at
the
end,
you'll
have
the
the
sheriff's
report.
But
it's
difficult
to
gauge.
G

This
city
council,
I
think,
is
really
serving
the
community
in
just
a
fantastic
way.
I
am
proud
to
be
on
this
council,
with
vice
mayor
chao,
with
mayor
paul,
councilman,
moore
councilman
way
kudos
to
this
community
and
to
what
we
have
here
and
I'll
leave
it
at
that.
Let
everybody
kind
of
think
about
that.
A
A
A
I'm
really
glad
that
we
managed
to
seal
the
deal
so
to
speak
this
evening,
but
but
truly
you
know
it
was
a
very
vigorous
process
and
you
know
I
I
think,
let
me
just
let
members
of
the
public
know.
I
think
one
one
night
we
were
there
until
past
midnight.
Actually
that
was
that
was
the
the
day
we
had
the
diwali
festival.
We
actually
continued
the
discussion.
A
We
had
another
more
than
four
hours
plus
after
we
continued
it
on
the
same
day
and
it
wasn't
over.
At
that
point
it
was
well
worth
the
effort
you
know.
Thank
you
very
much
for
the
great
support
from
from
from
the
council,
and
you
know
I
think
the
public
is
really
going
to
you
know,
take
to
our
new
selection
and,
after
all,
is
said
and
done.
You
know
everything
that
we
see
in
in
this
distillation
of
a
process
from
the
public.
A
You
know,
I
don't
think
we
need
to
or
should
cast
any
aspersions.
I
I
think
that
kind
of
happens
as
a
byproduct
of
public
discourse,
irrespective
right
because
we're
human
beings
after
all,
but
but
truly
you
know
I'll
echo
council
member
willie's
sentiments
that
I'm
very
proud
to
serve
this
community
with
the
colleagues
that
we
have
with
our
with
our
with
our
city
staff,
and
you
know
the
engaged
residents
and
members
of
the
local
and
regional
communities.
So
so,
thank
you
very
much.
You
know.
A
My
theme
here
has
been
gratitude
and
opportunity,
and
I
hope
that
we've
collectively
demonstrated
what
that
means
over
the
course
of
this
year,
and
with
that
I
will
bid
everyone
a
very
happy
thanksgiving,
and
we
will
see
you
again
at
our
next
regularly
scheduled
council
meeting
of
the
cupertino
city
council
on
december
7th
at
6
45
pm.
Thanks
very
much
everyone
and
meeting
adjourned.
