From YouTube: State of the City Address 2013
Description
Cupertino Mayor Orrin Mahoney presents the 2013 State of the City Address, recorded January 30, 2013 at the Quinlan Community Center. The annual State of the City Address is co-sponsored by the Cupertino Chamber of Commerce, the Rotary Club of Cupertino, and the City of Cupertino.
A
She
served
on
the
board
of
the
chamber
commerce
in
the
late
80s,
with
them
back
when
he
was
working
for
HP
and
he's
always
provided,
as
he
does
today,
just
a
really
great
balance
to
any
group
that
he's
in
always
willing
to
point
out
things
that
are
going
right,
supportive
of
things
that
are
going
wrong
and
always
willing
to
grab
a
glove
and
get
into
get
in
the
game
and
help.
So
without
any
further
ado,
I'd
like
to
go
ahead
and
reduce
our
mayor
mayor
or
in
Mahoney.
Thank.
B
Well,
thanks
Kevin
and
first
of
all,
thanks
to
all
of
you
that
showed
up
today.
For
this
event,
it's
always
a
great
event.
Another
example
of,
as
we
said
earlier,
the
partnership
between
the
chamber
of
city
and
and
a
rotary
club
of
Cupertino
to
put
this
on
every
year
before
I
start,
my
presentation,
I
have
one
more
VIP
that
I'd
like
to
introduce,
and
that's
my
wife,
Carolyn
sitting
out
here
in
front.
B
B
So
you
know
the
seam
today
is
for
the
love
of
Cupertino,
and
you
know,
love
is
a
word
that
we
don't
often
throw
around
in
the
municipal
government,
and
you
know
in
our
business
community
the
reason
I'm
I
based
it
here
was
a
little
similar
to
to
what
I
did
the
last
time.
Last
time,
I
my
state
of
the
city
was
based
on
a
book
called
who's,
your
city
by
Richard
Florida.
He
had
done
a
talk
at
the
League
of
California
cities
event,
and
it
was
really
kind
of.
B
There
were
a
lot
of
interesting
things
in
his
work
on
who's.
Your
city
talked
about
what
makes
a
great
city
what
makes
a
city
that
attracts
people
that
are,
you
know
highly
educated,
mostly
in
high
tech
types
of
things
and
like
the
people
that
are
here
in
the
valley,
and
certainly
the
people
in
cupertino
and
I
kind
of
matched
up
cupertino
against
that
I
had
the
privilege
of
going
down
to
another
League
of
California
cities.
B
Unlike
Richard
Florida's
book
that
focused
on
on
kind
of
the
high-end
cities,
if
you
will
Kagawa's
book
really
had
a
broad
focus
on
all
types
of
cities,
you
know
from
from
high-tech
to
the
Rust
Belt
and
the
message
was:
any
city
could
have
elements
of
it
that
make
it
lovable
and
make
it
where
people
don't
just
put
up
with
the
city,
but
people
really
love
their
city
and
in
particular
the
focus
was
on
on
really
grassroots
activities.
So
and
I'll
be
talking
a
lot
more
about
that
today.
B
These
are
people
from
the
community
that
put
things
together.
Make
things
happen
that
make
the
city
more
loveable,
so
one
example
of
how
different
his
book
is
from
from
richard
florida's
book.
This
is
one
example
at
kageyama
uses
of
people
that
love
their
city,
so
much
that
they
actually
marry
their
city,
and
these
are
from
Cleveland.
B
Those
are
icons
of
the
Cleveland
environment
that
these
two
people
wear
now
I,
don't
know
about
you,
but
I
haven't
seen
anybody
walking
around
the
city
of
Cupertino
with
the
mauryan
tattooed
on
her
arm,
but
so
we're
a
little
a
little
different.
From
that
point
of
view,
but
it
gives
you
some
idea
of
how
passionate
some
people
feel
about
their
city.
So
do
we
actually
love
our
city?
You
know,
that's
again,
that's
a
strong
word.
B
Let's,
let's
take
a
look
at
a
couple
of
a
couple
of
things
and
see
what
we,
what
we
are
so
the
city
of
Cupertino,
you
may
or
may
not
know
every
two
years
does
a
survey.
It's
called
the
godby
survey,
that's
the
company
that
does
it
and
we
survey
all
our
residents
and
ask
them
various
questions
about
how
how
we're
doing
is
a
city.
Sometimes
we
focus
in
on
various
aspects
of
it,
and
we
just
did
this.
We
just
got
the
results.
In
fact,
the
results
are
going
to
be.
B
We've
seen
them
individually,
but
they'll
be
presented
to
the
council
at
one
in
one
of
our
next
council
meetings
and
the
executive
summary
said
that
an
overwhelming
majority
of
the
residents
are
basically
satisfied
with
their
quality
of
life.
Ninety-Four
percent-
and
these
are
outstanding
numbers
that
you
know
the
most
cities
cannot.
Yes,.
B
What's
more
interesting
or
as
interesting,
especially
as
it
relates
to
the
theme
here,
the
seventy-three
percent
feel
a
strong
sense
of
community
in
the
city
and
that's
really
important
as
we
move
forward
as
we
move
forward
as
a
city
and
meet
new
challenges
and
do
new
things
and
that's
a
eighteen
percent
increase
over
two
years
ago
in
in
that
category.
So
again,
people
are
not
only
happy
with
kind
of
the
basic
level
of
services
that
we
have
here
in
the
basic
life,
but
they
really
feel
connected
into
cupertino.
C
This
is
a
beautiful
city,
I,
don't
to
me
it
hasn't
lost
its
charm
of
quaintness
and
perfect
we're
getting
a
new
Main,
Street
Cupertino,
which
is
close
to
my
house.
I'm
really
excited
about,
but
it's
it's
a
green
city.
They
provide
so
much
information.
We
get
a
Wednesday
paper
called
the
Cupertino
courier
about
all
the
different
ways
to
recycle
and
I
love
it
because
they.
D
Have
a
really
good
community
college
here,
so
education
is
good
yeah!
That's
why
I
like
1500
Cupertino!
It
has
a
lot
going
on
the
flea
markets
every
month
on
the
first
weekend
of
the
month
and
then
I
come
here
every
week
for
hoop
class
with
my
sister,
so
we
enjoy
the
community
center.
There's
a
lot
going
on
here.
I
love.
E
F
D
B
B
You
heard
that
they're,
obviously
most
people,
it
moved
a
Cupertino
today
move
here
for
the
school's,
you
know
and
why
not
are
both
our
elementary
school
system,
our
high
school
system
and
and
ana
diaz
at
college
all
are
first-rate
and
you
know
they're
the
highest
rated
in
the
state.
People
come
here
for
them.
It's
amazing.
You
know
when
you
have
the
opportunity.
Richard
showed
some
of
the
rotary
activities
when
you
go
into
schools
and
I
do
dr.
B
Seuss
reading
day
or
do
some
career
days
or
something
and
the
kids
are
amazing,
they're
our
future
and
again,
thank
you
to
the
people
here
from
the
school
district
and
all
the
work
that
everybody
does
and
all
the
volunteers
that
support
the
schools.
Again,
it's
it's
not
about
the
government,
it's
not
about
the
school
board.
It's
not
even
about
the
staff,
it's
really
you
know
all
the
involvement
of,
especially
in
the
schools,
of
all
the
parents
that
make
them
make
a
big
difference.
B
We
love
our
library,
you
know
again,
we
I
think
most
people
have
seen
you
know
all
the
statistics.
You
know
whether
we
continue
to
be
the
busiest
library
we
had
the
opportunity
last
year,
you
know
and
Gilbert's
on
the
council
member
vice
mayor
Wong,
is
on
the
the
joint
powers
library
board
for
the
county.
We
leverage
county
resources
again
like
we
leverage
a
lot
of
things
and
we've
extended
the
hours
I
think
we
have
the
most
hours
of
any
library
in
the
system.
B
Now
more
important,
though,
is
that
kind
of
the
bottom
bullet
there
there's
more
than
800
programs
that
the
library
puts
on
so
the
library
is,
is
much
more
than
a
repository
for
books.
There's
always
a
question,
you
know
hey
and
it's
modern
electronic
age.
You
know,
what's
the
role
of
the
library
and
the
library
goes
way
beyond
being
a
repository
for
books?
It
really
is
a
second
community
center
for
us,
and
you
know
both
a
Teen
Center.
You
know,
in
addition
to
our
other
teen
center
and
also
just
a
general
gathering
place
for
programs.
B
It's
speaking
of
gathering
places.
We
do.
You
know
we
have
a
number
of
them.
You
know
some
of
this
started
with
started
a
long
time
ago,
but
I
know
is
a
big
initiative
of
former
mayor
Lowenthal's.
You
know
to
make
cupertino
more
walkable,
more
pedestrian
friendly.
We've
done
that
with
a
lot
of
the
things
that
you
see
on
the
screen
and
when
I
talk
about
some
of
the
upcoming
projects,
that's
built
into
all
of
those
projects
and
it'll
it'll
get
even
better
as
we
as
we
move
forward.
We
love
the
outdoors.
B
We
have
great
parks,
you
know
our
jewel
is.
Is
the
stevens
creek
order?
You
know
which
is
right
over
here?
If
you
in
a
lot
of
people,
don't
even
haven't
been
there?
If
you
haven't
been
there
to
blackberry
farm
or
walk
the
stevens
creek
trail,
it
really
is
a
very,
very
special
place
that
none
of
the
other
cities
around
here
have
anything
like
it.
We
have
a
plan
that
we're
working
on
this
is
the
stevens
creek
restoration
plan.
B
Everything,
if
you
look
there,
there's
a
kind
of
a
little
line,
kind
of
toward
the
left,
everything
to
the
right
of
that.
It's
already
been
done.
It
was
done
and
and
showed
up
in
two
pictures
that
I
just
showed
you,
but
now
we're
here
to
finish
that
and
have
the
trail
go
out
to
stevens
creek
boulevard
and
that's
phase
two
with
more
more
trail,
a
bridge
across
the
creek,
again
creek
restoration,
to
continue
that
you
know
and
I
don't
that
will
complete
that
portion
of
it.
So
it
is,
you
know
that
creep.
B
That
trail
is
part
of
something
that's
called
a
stevens
creek
trail,
and
this
is
a
trail
that
starts
at
shoreline
and
eventually
a
when
its
way
up
at
the
dam
or
or
even
further
up
as
a
trail.
But
there's
a
mountain
view.
If
you
haven't
been
there
on
a
mountain
view
portion
of
it,
it's
really
spectacular,
they've
done
a
really
amazing
job
of
building
that
and
having
it
come
down
almost
to
the
sunnyvale
border.
Now,
so
the
question
is
how
to
get
from
Mountain
View
to
cupertino
and
there's
a
group.
That's
working
on
that.
B
So
there's
a
four
cities
working
group,
so
it's
Mountain,
View,
los,
altos,
sunnyvale
and
and
us
because
we
don't
want
los
altos,
saying
no,
the
trails
get
in
here
and
we're
saying
we're
going
to
pick
it
up
over
there.
You
know
we've
got
to
get
together
and
work
on.
This
there's
been
a
lot
of
community
input.
There's
a
meeting
tonight
up
in
sunnyvale
with
a
with
a
with
a
big,
the
first
real
chance
for
the
community
to
see
some
of
the
proposed
possible
trail
alignments
and
some
of
the
issues
involved.
B
The
meeting
tonight
since
sunnyvale
it's
focused
on
homestead
north
and
then
in
February
there'll,
be
a
meeting
here
in
cupertino
focused
on
homestead
South,
the
same
kind
of
community
meeting.
So
this
is
great.
This
is
for
cities
that
are
not
being
forced
to
work
together
that
just
decided
to
work
together
for
a
common
good
and
we're
really
excited
about
where
this
is
going
to
take
us.
B
Unfortunately,
the
geese
also
love
our
outdoors.
You
know,
there's
no,
there's
not
out
there
today,
I
they
go
somewhere
else
for
the
winter.
Thank
goodness,
but
this
is.
This
is
a
tip.
This
could
be
a
typical
shot
of
right
outside
these
windows
in
the
summertime.
Here
they
are
a
nuisance,
they're
more
than
a
nuisance,
they're
they're,
probably
bordering
on
a
public
health
issue
because
geese
do
what
geese
or
want
to
do.
B
B
So
we
you
know
we
we
love
our
food
we'd
love
to
eat.
We
support
our
restaurants,
so
you'd
think
with
all
that
eating
that
we'd
all
be
that,
but
we're
not-
and
this
is
interesting-
you
know-
there's
there's
a
lot
of
a
lot
of
discussion
out
there
about
obesity,
especially
children's
obesity,
and
it
is
an
issue
and
we're
actually
participated.
B
This
little
logo
there
that
he'll
logo,
the
healthy
eating
active,
active
living
a
campaign
is
something
that
we've
signed
up
to
do
and
that's
really
about
providing
opportunities
for
better
food
opportunities
for
recreation
and
obviously,
you'll
see
a
little
bit
more.
We
do
that
very
well,
but
as
as
I've
been
involved
in
this,
you
know
on
a
public
service.
Part
I
thought
anecdotally,
I
thought
not
so
much
in
cupertino,
you
know
am
I
just
kind
of
missing
it
and
again
you.
B
Out
in
the
schools
and
out
in
the
community
and
when
I
was
down
again
in
san
diego
at
the
conference
there
was
a
booth
to
heal,
booth
and
I
said
you
know,
I,
don't
think
we
have
that
much
of
a
problem
and
they
said
well,
look
at
the
you
can
find
out.
Here's
the
report
and
I
didn't
know
there
was
a
report.
B
So
there
is
a
report
and
I'm
happy
to
say
out
of
245
cities
in
the
state
of
California,
where
the
seventh
lowest
and
obesity,
so
we
have
done
a
good
job,
is
there's
some
reasons
for
that.
One
of
them
is,
is
that
we
do?
You
know
we
have
a
strong
youth
sports
program
and
even
though
you
know
the
stereotype
of
a
Cupertino
young
student,
is
you
know
in
front
of
a
book
or
in
front
of
their?
You
know
their
computer.
In
fact
they
have
a
lot
of
opportunities.
B
Then
they
take
a
lot
of
the
opportunities
to
participate
in
a
wide
variety
of
sports
and
whether
those
are
you
know
through
the
school
through
the
city
program
through
all
of
our
youth
leagues
and
whatever
soccer
is
a
big
one.
We
have
a
real
special
thing
coming
up
this
year.
I
think
you
may
have
seen
in
a
Cupertino
courier
I
guess
was
last
last
Friday
that
this
d-ends
a
force
organization,
is
going
to
put
a
soccer
tournament.
B
We
do
have
the
opportunity
to
eat
healthy
here.
We
have.
You
know,
of
course,
our
whole
foods.
We
have
a
number
of
fresh
produce
markets.
We
have
the
new
monta
vista
market
that
opened
last
year
that
specializes
in
organic
foods
and
and
that's
important,
and
then
we
have
three
farmers
markets.
Actually
so
we've
got
the
one
at
vallco
on
Friday
we've
got
the
one
deanne's
on
Saturday
and
then
the
one
in
the
oaks
on
Sunday.
B
So
we
love
our
city
employees
to
again
the
survey.
You
know.
That's
one
of
the
nice
things
about
the
survey
we
can
find
out.
You
know
what
the
residents
think
about
the
job
we're
doing.
Providing
these
services
91%
again
of
the
residents
are
satisfied
with
a
job.
A
city
is
doing
to
provide
services.
Only
seven
percent
are
dissatisfied.
B
B
Actually
number
number
one
and
number
three,
because
they're,
along
with
the
city
partner
with
the
city,
they
drive
our
recycling
program
as
well,
so
this
always
gets
high
marks
and
you
may
not
know
that
unless
you,
you
know
you
compare
city
to
city,
we
also
have
among
the
lowest
bills.
You
know
for
that
service,
so
they
do.
A
great
job
talked
about
library,
services
earlier
and
I'm,
going
to
talk
about
the
other
ones
coming
up.
So
these
are
the
things
that
get
the
highest
rating
from
our
residents.
B
We
all
love
Dave
nap
and
we're
really
we're
really
happy
about
David
Brown
I'm,
not
sure
we're
ready
for
love
yet
David.
But
you
know
we
got
a
you
know.
It's
you've
only
been
here
like
two
months
three
months.
Four
months
time
flies
when
you're
having
fun
so
now,
David's
doing
a
great
job.
It's
one
of
the
most
important
things
that
we
do
as
a
council
is
to
pick
the
city
manager
because
everybody
all
the
city,
employees,
work,
work
for
David
and
he's
the
one
that
makes
things
happen,
we're
just
the
kind
of
bored.
B
B
B
That's
a
you
know,
that's
the
outside
view
of
us.
You
know
we
can
talk
all
we
want
about
how
we
think
we're
doing,
but
that's
that's
somebody.
Given
it
the
stamp
of
approval
and
that's
again,
you
know
because
of
the
work
of
our
city
staff.
It's
because
we're
lucky
that
that
again,
because
of
our
schools,
our
housing
values
have
kept
up.
So
we
didn't
have
much
of
a
dip
and
property
tax
during
that
period
of
over
the
last
few
years,
our
sales
taxes
remains
strong.
B
Our
transient
occupancy
tax,
which
is
the
hotel
tax,
continues
to
grow
and
we're
adding
new
hotels
almost
as
we
speak
I'll
get
to
that
in
a
minute
and
that's
a
very
important
source
of
revenue
as
well.
So
the
revenue
stream
is
staying
strong
and
we
manage
our
expenses,
including
all
the
things
you
know
that
you
read
about
of
unfunded
liabilities
and
pension
things
and
everything
that
is
all
under
control
here
in
cupertino
public
safety
employees.
You
know
you
certainly
had
two
examples.
B
Earlier
of
the
type
of
services
we
get
from
our
public
safety,
employees
I
think
everybody
here
knows,
or
maybe
they
don't,
that
we
do
not
have
our
own
police
and
fire
department.
We
count
on
being
in
the
county
fire
district
and
we
count
on
contracting
with
the
santa
clara
county,
sheriffs
Association.
So
you
know
I'll
talk
a
little
bit
about
especially
of
the
sheriffs
Association.
B
So
not
only
do
we
get
the
service
that
you
heard
here,
which
that
could
be
done
if
we
had
our
own
Police
Department,
maybe,
but
earlier
this
year,
I
think
you
remember,
we
had
a
threat
to
a
teacher
at
Mauna
vista
high
school.
The
first
time
I
knew
about
that
was
when
the
police
helicopter
was
hovering
over
Monta
Vista,
High
School.
So
let
me
tell
you:
the
city
of
Cupertino
could
not
own
our
own
police
helicopter.
We
probably
couldn't
pay
for
the
gas
for
it.
B
So
so
because
we
contract,
not
only
do
we
get
great
service
when
we,
you
know,
we
leverage
a
tremendous
amount
of
resources.
So
if
we
need
a
bomb
squad,
if
we
need
a
SWAT
team,
if
we
need
a
helicopter,
if
we
need
a
search
and
rescue
group
whatever
we
might
need-
and
hopefully
we
don't
need
any
of
those
things,
but
if
we
do
need
them,
they've
been
there
for
us
in
the
past
and
they're
going
to
be
there
for
us
in
the
future.
B
B
It's
again,
you
know
you
heard
one
of
the
residents.
There
talk
about
volunteering
there
we
get
a
lot
of
people
that
volunteer
there.
A
lot
of
people
are
supported
there.
I
think
people
are
aware
of
some
of
the
services
we
offer.
We've
got
classes
and
we've
got
trips.
You
know
they
do
trips
and
classes,
and
you
know
all
kinds
of
activities.
What
a
lot
of
people
don't
know
is
this.
This
case
management
that
we
have
a
case
manager
there
that
deals
with
people
seniors
that
are
having
a
problem.
B
It
might
be
a
financial
problem,
it
might
be
a
medical
problem,
it
might
be
a
some
medical,
health
problem
or
emotional
problem
and
they're
there
to
help
out
either
to
take
care
of
it
directly
if
they
can
or
to
refer
those
people
to
whatever
the
right
organization
is
whether
it
be
West,
Valley,
Community,
Services
or
something
the
County
Medical
thing
or
whatever
so
again,
an
important
part
of
the
community.
That's
you
know,
above
and
beyond
kind
of
the
things
that
you
think
about
on
a
daily
basis,
diversity.
B
You
know
you
heard
that
earlier
in
the
video
again
it's
one
of
our
strengths.
It's
absolutely
one
of
our
strengths.
We
celebrate
it.
You
know
the
chamber
puts
on
a
diwali
festival
that
you
see
up
here.
Rotary,
of
course,
puts
on
the
fall
festival,
a
partnership
with
the
world
journal,
the
sister
city
association,
toy
cow,
assistive
city
association,
puts
on
a
cherry
blossom
festival.
Last
year,
mayor
Santoro
took
some
of
this
to
the
next
level,
with
the
leveraging
ethnic
diversity
workshop
that
he
put
on
and
a
lot
of
good
ideas
came
out
of
that.
B
To
kind
of
take
us
even
further
and
and
seeing
how
we
can
have,
we
can
celebrate
that
diversity
and
make
it
even
more
more
positive
for
the
city
and
I'm
not
sure
if
we're
going
to
do
the
same
workshop,
but
I'm
definitely
going
to
build
on
on
the
work
that
mark
did
last
year
and
it
was
great
activity
businesses
we
do.
You
know.
New
businesses
are
important,
they're
important.
Financially,
they
generate
sales,
tax,
they're
important
for
employment.
B
They
give
people
opportunity
to
add
jobs
and
work
in
the
city
and
that's
important
and
they're
also
important,
as
I
said
earlier,
for
places
for
us
to
just
meet
and
do
things
and
shop
and
get
things
done.
These
are
just
a
few
of
some
of
the
key
new
businesses,
starting
at
the
lower
right.
That's
the
bay
club,
which
is
a
high-end
fitness
club
that
moved
into
a
part
of
the
sears
building
down
there
and
it's
open
and
doing
well
and
the
upper
right
is
the
Rite
Aid,
that's
over.
B
It's
actually
moved
out
and
as
a
separate
standalone
building
out
where
pw
used
to
be
and
I'll
talk
more
about
that
development.
But
it's
the
first
first
implementation
of
the
revitalization
revitalization
of
that
shopping
center
and
it's
been
open
for
a
number
of
years
number
of
months.
Sorry
and
islands.
Restaurant
across
the
street
is
doing
well,
and
for
those
of
you
that
don't
know,
islands
is
it's
a
chain
of
southern
california
chain
and
they
selected
cupertino
to
be
their
first
Bay,
Area,
location
and
I.
Think
that
says
something
about.
B
You
know
what
they
think
about
about
our
economic
vitality
and
the
people
we
have
here
on.
The
lower
left
is,
of
course,
the
TJ
maxx
and
home
goods
and
in
party
city
that
moved
in
to
the
old
mervyns
complex
and
that
just
revitalized
that
whole
area
there's
a
boat
in
bakery.
That's
coming
in
there
kind
of
two
flank
islands
in
the
front
and
and
some
other
restaurants
that
are
going
to
be
coming
in.
B
It's
just
completely
changed
that
shopping
center,
and
you
know
it's
it's
not
hard
to
park,
but
the
parking
lot
is
full
and
that's
good.
A
full
parking
lot
is
is
a
good
sign
of
economic
vitality
and
in
the
upper
left
is.
Is
the
aloft
hotel
right
on
de
anza
boulevard
across
some
Saint
Joseph's
and
it
had
a
soft
opening
this
week
and
I?
B
Don't
know
if
ya
are
in
the
back
depeche
from
Sascha
corporation
depeche
Gupta
was
driving
that
project
and
again
it's
going
to
be
another,
welcome
addition
and
I
think
they're
already
starting
to
sell
out
nights
already.
So
that's
how
strong
the
demand
is
for
hotel
rooms
in
cupertino
and
that's
because
of
all
our
other
businesses
as.
C
B
Guess
but
we're
not
going
to
stop
there.
You
know
one
of
the
projects
that
was
mentioned
by
one
of
the
neighbors.
There
was
the
main
street
project.
This
is
probably
the
most
in
a
sense,
exciting
project.
It's
our
chance
to
have.
You
know
something
Gus,
something
similar
to
a
downtown
as
much
of
a
downtown
as
we're
going
to
have
so
the
interesting
thing
was
when
I
was
putting
this
presentation
together.
B
B
The
last
time
I
got
approved
and
in
a
slightly
different
configuration
you
know
was
2008
and
something
there
was
something
going
on
in
the
economy
in
2008,
I
forget
what
it
was,
but
but
something
about
trying
to
get
money
and
get
new
stores
when
stores
were
closing
all
over
the
place.
So
this
is
real.
B
Now
it's
got
a
hotel
that
everything's
been
approved
and
we're
really
looking
for
it
to
break
ground
sometime
early
this
year
and
like
I,
say
it's
got
a
town
square
a
lot
this
this
will
be
our
biggest
our
biggest
gathering
place,
but
we
have
some
other
ones.
These
are
other
ones
that
are
that
have
been
approved.
B
The
the
bottom
is
is
again
and
in
the
location
where
pw
was
and
where
rite
aid
moved
out.
It's
an
expansion
of
the
store
there,
so
safeway
is
going
to
be
coming
to
cupertino
moving
from
Sunnyvale.
Actually,
the
store
on
Hollenbeck
will
be
beat,
but
basically
move
down
here.
This
will
be
one
of
their
new
big.
You
know
superstore
type
location.
So
it's
going
to
be
a
great
addition.
B
You
know,
with
a
lot
of
that,
was
pretty
pretty
outdated,
so
this
added
some
housing
down
there
that
we
will
need
to
do
to
meet
our
regional
numbers
from
the
association
of
Bay
Area
governments,
but
more
important.
It's
going
to
freshen
up
that
whole
retail
experience.
So
it's
a
nice
new
retail
building,
they'll,
probably
be
a
nice
restaurant
moving
in
there
and
and
other
activities
going
on
and
then
right
around
the
corner.
B
Safeway
station
is
where
the
bombay
oven
and
basically
that
kind
of
building
behind
it
that
that
once
I
guess
it
was
a
7-eleven
or
whatever
that's
been
closed
for
a
long
time.
Since
there
was
a
fire
there,
that's
all
being
torn
down
and
this
new
complex
is
being
put
in
and
integrated
in
more
with
panera
from
a
parking
point
of
view
and
everything.
This
is
approved
by
the
Planning
Commission
and
we're
going
to
be
seeing
it
in
the
next
couple
of
weeks
at
the
council
level
as
well.
B
B
We
are
going
to
do
a
general
plan
update
for
those
of
you
don't
know.
The
general
plan
is
sort
of
the
high
level
blueprint
of
City.
It
says
how
much
housing
you
can
have
how
many
hotel
rooms,
how
much
office
space
in
order
to
make
the
Main
Street
project
happen.
They
needed
they
needed
to
use
all
the
existing
office
space
that
we
had
in
the
city
in
a
general
plan,
and
we
it
was
that
project
was
important
enough,
that
we
said
okay,
fine,
we'll
do
that,
but
but
we
need
to
replenish
it.
B
Do
one
general
plan
amendment
and
sometime
in
the
next
couple
of
weeks,
we're
going
to
have
a
presentation
on
that
will
decide
on
the
scope
and
scale
of
that
we'd.
Also,
you
know
like
to
focus
a
little
little
we'd
like
to
focus
a
lot
on
the
valko
area.
I'm,
not
going
to
say
much
about
that.
That's
you
know
been
on
probably
everybody
state
of
the
city
for
15
years.
At
least
you
know
its
underperforming,
there's
some
great
assets
there
and
we're
looking.
B
Make
that
happen
we
do
left
a
partner,
in
particular
the
city
partners,
with
a
chamber
on
economic
development
types
of
activities.
We
have
an
economic
development
committee
meeting
that
meets
angeles
way
that
I
think
is
out
here.
I
can't
see
it's
dark
from
my
view
out.
There
is
our
new
economic
development
manager
that
join
the
city
in
the
last
few
months,
basically
replacing
the
position
that
kelly
kline
had
in
the
past,
but
with
a
little
different
focus
of
much
more
of
a
focus
on
small
business.
B
What
we
can
do,
as
a
city
partnering
with
the
chamber
to
help
out
small
business
chamber,
does
a
lot
of
things
already.
We
do
a
lot
of
things
already,
but
but
we
know
that
there's
more,
that
can
be
done.
One
thing:
we're
kind
of
looking
at
and
playing
with
is
a
mobile
app,
not
a
city,
mobile
app,
because
we
have
one
of
those
and
not
a
chamber
mobile
app,
because
they
were
thinking
about
doing
that,
but
but
a
unified
app
again.
B
We
want
something
where
it
be
a
single
place
to
go
where
you
can
find
out
what
you
need
to
know
about
the
city
of
what
you
mean
it.
Would
you
know
if
you
want
a
restaurant,
if
you
want
to
do
something
with
your
business,
one
single
place
to
get
that
information,
so
we're
we're
in
early
stages
of
investigating
that
we
love
our
arts.
You
know
again,
I,
don't
think
there
are
many
cities,
the
size
of
Cupertino
that
have
their
own
Shakespeare
have
a
Shakespeare
in
the
Park.
B
Festival
have
the
resources
we
have
at
flint
center
and
the
Performing
Arts
Center
at
the
ends
and
the
eufrat
Museum
and
something
new.
You
know,
I,
don't
know
many
cities,
our
size
that
have
their
own
poet
laureate
and
again
this
was
a
bottoms-up
activity
that
was
the
Fine
Arts
Commission
and
the
library
commission.
A
few
years
ago,
our
former
mayor
chris
wang,
said,
you
know
I,
think
I,
our
commission,
sir,
to
work
together.
B
They
got
together
and
came
up
with
the
idea
of
a
poet
laureate
and
I
was
like
okay,
that's
nice,
I,
guess
sure
you
know,
I,
don't
know
what
that
means,
but
but
David
Denny,
who
is
our
poet
laureate,
has
done
some
amazing
things
he's
had
a
number
of
poetry,
readings
and
then
this
picture
I
was
at
this
event.
The
other
night
he's
put
together
a
poetry
contest
ranging
from
up
to
3
3
categories
up
to
13,
13,
18
and
adults.
B
They
had
300
entries
and
they
read
the
you
know
they
were
able
to
read
their
poems
the
other
night
in
the
top
three
in
all
three
categories
and
I
mean
generally
we're
amazing,
but
there's
one
one:
young
lady,
that's
a
senior
high
school
senior
that
did
one
that
just
blew
me
away
and
we're
going
to
have
her
come
and
read
her
poem
it
at
a
future
council
meeting
and
it's
just
like
it
just
stopped
me
in
my
tracks.
That's
all
I'll
say
about
it.
So
so
again
we
love
our
arts.
We
support
our
arts
again.
B
The
city
supports
in
some
ways,
but
almost
like
everything
else
that
I've
been
talking
about
today.
It's
it's
everybody
together.
That
makes
it
work.
We
love
our
neighborhoods.
We
have
strong
block
leader
program
again.
This
is
unique.
This
is
something
that
our
former
city
manager,
you
know
brought
to
cupertino.
B
This
has
been
an
important
program
in
having
the
city
communicate
with
our
neighbors,
the
two-way
communication,
but
more
important
having
them
communicate
to
each
other
and
as
we've
as
we've
moved
to
a
more
diverse
community,
it's
been
a
strong
part
of
how
people
can
get
together
and
get
to
know
each
other
so
that
they,
so
they
can
work
together.
It's
only
when
you're
working
together
on
projects
like
like
we've
done
here
with
many
of
the
organizations
that
you
really
really
form
those
bonds.
B
We
love
our
veterans
again.
You
know
we
have
the
Veterans
Memorial
out
here.
Hopefully,
most
of
the
people
here
have
been
to
that.
We
do
a
ceremony
every
year
at
Veterans
Day,
for
that.
Another
activity
that
didn't
start
at
the
top
from
the
city
started
from
grassroots
number
of
people,
including
former
mayor
Santa's
James,
that
drove
this
project
with
with
mostly
private
capital.
To
put
this
up,
when
I
was
I
was
going
to
put
a
picture
in
here
of
the
Veterans
Memorial.
B
It's
nothing
in
the
meantime,
I
got
an
email
with
this
picture,
and
this
picture
was
taken
by
a
woman
who
has
three
sons
that
are
all
in
the
army,
and
this
is
her
grandson,
and
this
is
you
know,
on
the
wall
of
the
Veterans
Memorial,
and
actually
this
photo
is
the
reason
it
was
sent
around
is
this
photo
is
on
the
army
photo
of
the
year
site
and
right
now,
it's
leading
and
in
votes
and
stuff
for
it.
So.
B
We
love
our
trees
again,
we
started
out,
you
know
kind
of
things
go
through
these
various
ways.
We
start
out
like
with
this
issue
about
street
trees.
We
had
some
people
that
said
that
we
weren't,
we
were
doing
things
with
our
street
trees
that
are
owned
by
the
city,
but
they
look
like
they
were
in
their
yards
because
they
didn't
have
a
sidewalk
and
they
were
upset
about
about
some
of
the
things
we're
doing
so.
B
We
said
we
really
got
to
formalize
this
program
and
let
people
know
which
are
street
trees
and
which
are
not,
and
we
also
wanted
to
make
the
city
more
green,
as
you
heard
in
their
green
literally
agree
with
more
trees
and
again
bottoms
up.
We
had
as
we're
talking
about
this.
We
had
one
gentleman
come
in
with
pictures.
B
For
those
of
you
who
I
thought,
I
had
a
QR
code,
those
little
things
you
scan
and
you
can
you
can
you
know
you're
an
apple
come
up
and
it'll
tell
you
all
about
so
tell
you
all
about
the
tree.
It's
it's
street
tree
what
it
is
care
and
maintenance,
and
all
those
things
really
really
nice
nice
program.
B
All
I'll
say
is
that
you
know:
we've
got
a
great
council
right
now
we're
all
working
hard
to
do
the
right
things
for
the
city.
We
may
not
always
agree
on
everything,
but
but
we've
always
got
the
interest
of
the
city
in
mind.
So
so
I
talked
earlier
about.
You
know
Marion
cupertino,
and
you
know
we
are
we
ready
to
do
that?
I,
don't
know.
B
B
B
Can't
juggle
so
I
had
to
do
something
so
in
case
you
haven't
figured
out
by
now.
The
state
of
the
city
is
excellent,
you
know,
but
it's
also
it's
not
because
of
us.
It's
not
because
of
the
those
Joker's
you
just
saw
in
the
video
there,
although
we
do
play
a
role
and
play
our
part.
It
really
is
you
know
in
a
book
Kageyama
calls
on
the
co-creators,
but
it's
really
people
almost
everybody
in
this
room
is
one.
It's
the
people
on
the
Commission's.
B
It's
the
people
into
service
organizations,
it's
the
people
in
the
school
groups
of
ptas
every
you
know
every
individual,
the
business
owners,
the
chamber.
It's
all
of
you
that
didn't
make
the
city
to
make
the
city
what
it
is.
So
that's
I
think
it's
great
I
do
love
Cupertino
I
do
have
my
tattoo
still
on
so
I
want
everybody
to
go
out
and
continue
to
do
all
that
you
do
and
as
a
thank
you
for
that,
the
centerpieces
are
made
up
of
hats
that
you
can
take
with
you.
The
Isle
of
cupertino.
