2) Vision Zero
Current City Work Program Item
Retain consultant to complete the development of the Vision Zero program, including finalization of policies and action plans.

Include Vision Zero is a current FY 21-22 City Work Program item proposed to continue. Evaluation of the City's needs over the course of the year have revealed that a budget allocation will be necessary to hire a consultant to assist with completing the rollout of the Vision Zero program.

Not Include AB 43 would set certain speed limit regulations. The State of California must define certain procedures within a future update of the Traffic Manual before speed limits can be set under AB 43. Speed limits to be set under AB 43 cannot go into effect until June 30, 2024. Considering this as a work plan item for FY 22-23 is therefore premature. 0 4
4) Near-Miss Pilot Study Pilot study to perform data collection on near-misses at intersections. Not Include The study of near-miss events at intersections lies outside the purview of the Bicycle Pedestrian Commission, and the technology to identify and study near misses is uncertain. To the extent that near misses involve bicycles or pedestrians and the technology exists, this can be incorporated into the Vision Zero study.

Internships will be project-focused, with participating City departments asked to identify a specific project or projects that a student intern can undertake. The internships will have a common start date, and include an orientation, group activities and exit interviews.

Alternatively, if the time and resources do not permit the City to run a trial program in the upcoming summer of the fiscal year (i.e., Summer 2022), Council may form a subcommittee to share practices for student internships, and to bring a report back to Council at the end of Summer 2022 with recommendations as part of the initiation of a student internship program in Summer 2023.

- Hire a dedicated Project Manager by the end of Q1 FY2022-2023 for the development of the Lawrence-Mitty Park. - Review and modify the current timetable, and bring back an updated schedule to City Council by November 2022 with an aim of delivering a completed park to the public in as timely and effective a manner as possible. n/a A dedicated project manager should will help to ensure timely completion of the project. A project manager will also help ensure that this traditionally park-under-served area receives appropriate outreach and becomes engaged both in the process of developing a park, and in ongoing community activities which are an integral part of maintaining the space.

73 Cupertino Store
(combining 8 and 49)
Direction to staff previously was to investigate multiple site possibilities in this current (2021-2022) fiscal year. As such, several additional possible sites come to mind, but are not limited to:
- Quinlan Center
- Library
- City Hall
There are likely to be more feasible places. This combined item would first identify a location if one is not identified in fiscal 2021-2022.

In the upcoming 2022-2023 fiscal year, with some help from the Fine Arts Commission for some of the items, items would be designed and selected for the store, for sale to the public and also available for exchange purposes for formal delegations to and from the City, with an at-cost charge structure for the latter purposes. n/a Combines two items and fulfills need of having Cupertino-branded material available to the public.
23 5
74 Support for the Unhoused
(combining 10, 11 and 66)
These items should be combined into formulating a City plan to address the issue of the unhoused and how to provide services in as effective a manner as possible with the resources available. A specific plan would be generated which includes consideration and recommendations for:
- City-driven jobs program. Could be fully independent or work in collaboration with a partner or partners, including the County.
- Facility development with supportive services. With non-profit organization partnership, space would be identified and a plan for supportive space with an ultimate aim to provide a pathway to permanent sustained housing would be made.
- Funding strategy. This would require significant resources, but the social costs of not addressing this growing issue are more significant. With grant money and possible private partnerships available, the deliverable here would be to provide the City with actionable recommendations for securing financial support for this program. 24 5

To: City Clerk
Subject: Please have the below made for presentation during my presentation at CityCouncil Meeting tonight at 7:45 pm.

Date: Tuesday, March 8, 2022 2:52:37 PM
Attachments: image.png
CAUTION: This email originated from outside of the organization. Do not click links or open attachments unless you recognize the sender and know the content is safe.

Please have the below text in black be ready for presentation tonight. Please arrange to have it displayed on the Zoom meeting during my presentation tonight. Another speaker has already emailed you asking for her speaking time to be given to me. Thank you! Please phone me or email me if you have any questions. (408) 314-9357.

I am Louise Saadati, one of the main leaders in the DOLA Leadership Group. Our DOLA Leadership represents over 300 dogs and 500 people, and 6 different dog groups and growing in Cupertino
Though more DOLAS have been on the city work plan for the previous 2 years, NO new DOLAs have been started since 2019.

In the March 8, 2022 meeting staff addendum C, Item 54, the city staff have inserted “an additional year of Jollyman DOLA observation by the City to occur BEFORE more DOLA trials can start”
This was NEVER discussed with the Jollyman DOLA leadership in the many meetings we had with the Parks and Recreation Director, Parks and Recreation Commission, nor the former Interim City Manager, Greg Larson! The Parks and Recreation Commission NEVER recommended nor approved this.

This additional at least one more year of city staff time and resources observing Jollyman DOLA also CONTRADICTS the CITY COUNCIL prioritisation of more DOLAS for the last two years and the current recommendation of priority number 1 from Parks & Recreation.

Jollyman DOLA has been observed since October 2019; its extensive 3 year trial was a success and it is now successfully on-going.

Instead of city staff observing Jollyman DOLA for at least another fourth year from 2019-2023, the city staff could use the city resources to actually start more DOLA trials.

We in the DOLA community have already organized four trial DOLAs and are ready to start trials on them in the following order to begin:

July 2022
Linda Vista Park-Little Dog/Delicate Dog Memorial Park
Leaders Louise Saadati, Sangetta Kopardeka Deepa Mahendraker, Connie Chao Sheriffs

Monta Vista Park Jollyman Little Dog/Delicate Dog Park
Leaders Vasantha Niranjan, Stan Moriya, Su Chen Louise Saadati, Gauri Dutt Sheriffs Vasantha Niranjan, Stan Moriya MaryEllen, Gauri Dutt If the city staff would accept our help, it would significantly decrease use of city staff resources and facilitate prompt, efficient and successful DOLA trials.

Linda Vista Park Dog Group is first among our recommendations for DOLA trial because it is the most organized group with over 78 dogs and 150 people and growing.

During the recent City Goals Survey 35 Linda Vista DOLA users submitted surveys stating “more DOLAs” never stating “Linda Vista”. We had misunderstood the survey was asking about the general category of more DOLAs. If we had been told that specific park names needed to be stated, then all 35 of the Linda Vista Park surveys would have stated “Linda Vista Park” instead of just more DOLAS. Therefore a correct Sub-topics graph would show:

Instead of using staff resources to observe Jollyman DOLA needlessly for a FOURTH YEAR to attend meetings and sending emails resisting more DOLAS, that same staff time and resources could be well used INSTEAD to working WITH the community to:

1. start 2 DOLA trials in July, 2022 and then

2. start 2 more DOLA trials in January 2023.

Please vote to give a higher priority to more DOLAs. Instead of the previous low priority of 29th out of 30 projects, more DOLAs should be given a higher priority closer to the 4/30 Senior Strategy achieved. A large part of our DOLA users are seniors. Everyone’s mental, physical health and well being in the DOLA is tremendously improved by being amongst playful, happy dogs, fresh air, nature and the very friendly DOLA community.

Instead of isolation and depression, DOLA users feel happy, refreshed and connected to community.

We in the DOLA community successfully performed 85% of the organization, data collection, self-regulation and are STILL collecting data daily at our successful Jollyman DOLA.

Delaying starting new DOLA trials will just increase community frustration with a THIRD year of no new DOLA trials.

Starting new DOLA trials at the beginning of the 2022-2023 fiscal year with acceptance of the DOLA leadership and community help, with its experience and proven success at Jollyman DOLA, will help to take this RELATIVELY SMALL ITEM already prepared by the local community into an ACHIEVED STATUS..

Whereby more DOLAs will not need to be needlessly brought up to our very busy council year after year after year.

Thank you for your time, your dedication and service to our community.

I have lived in Monta Vista since 1974. I live 4 blocks from Monta Vista Park and have always owned dogs during these years and currently use the park twice daily for my 15-year old Shitzu and 5-year old Golden Doodle who is a registered trained service dog for my wife. Since he is a working dog, the park gives him and myself a chance to take a mental break and get outside and enjoy the outdoors in the company of other dog owners. This gives me a sense of community and is excellent for everyones’s mental health.

Many of us have tried going to other parks such as Jollyman, but besides being inconvenient for our neighborhood it adds to the load usage for those parks. The majority of dog owners that congregate at Monta Vista Park are in close enough to walk to the park on a daily basis. For that reason a DOLA for Monta Vista Park is needed and has been needed for years. I respectfully ask the members of this council to please make starting more DOLAs to be a higher priority in the 2022-2023 city work plan. Please take this into consideration for future enhancements of our neighborhood parks. Thank you.

Please include the following public comment in the public record for this meeting:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Good evening, Mayor Paul and council members,
My name is Jean Bedord and I am a long time Cupertino resident.

I would like to commend Kristina and the staff for an excellent financial report and the ongoing commitment to responsible financial reporting for the city.

I am questioning an expenditure on page 16 of this report under the City Manager Discretionary Fund for $2,400. In checking the Payables Register, this line
item references an op-ed piece. The only op-ed I’m
aware is a Letter to the Editor by Mayor Darcy Paul in the Mercury News on Dec. 9, 2021.

My first question concerns the charge itself. I’ve never had to pay for a newspaper op-ed. In particular, the Mercury News has never charged me or other residents I know for their Letters to the Editor.

The second question is the charge to City Manager Discretionary Fund.

Cupertino had an interim city manager during this time period. As far as I know, he did not do an op-ed. If this op-ed piece was by Mayor Paul, shouldn’t it be charged to the Mayor’ s Fund which has available money?
The City Manager Discretionary Fund is only $75,000 which is quite inadequate for a city with the adopted budget of $148 million. Who is spending this miniscule budget, since it’s not the city manager? Please investigate and transfer to the appropriate budget.

Thank you for your diligence in ensuring fiscal responsibility.

March 8, 2022 City Council Agenda Item 2, Housing Element Update Dear Mayor, Vice-Mayor and Councilmembers:

As you consider the Stakeholder Group that is required by the law for this Housing Element, I ask you to consider that the voices being considered in the Stakeholder Group as described by EMC will be helpful in your deliberations of the Housing Element as a whole. These voices bring perspectives that may not have been heard before.

Hundreds of residents who are current homeowners are knowledgeable about how to reach you individually, or know how to address the Council at its regularly scheduled meetings. This number of people proposed for the Stakeholder Group do not outnumber those you will hear from other homeowners in the City. If anything, the Stakeholder Group is far outnumbered by the number of homeowners in Cupertino who are not members of those groups represented by the Stakeholder Group.

It may seem to you that the Stakeholder Group will have outsize influence on the process, however, I ask you to consider that hundreds of Cupertino homeowners have reached out to you on issues of housing over the years.

Westport Cupertino and Vallco projects resulted in many emails and feedback about housing issues. Over the time remaining for the Housing Element process, you will hear from many interested residents.

I urge you to allow the process set up by EMC to continue as it was established in their plan.

Sincerely,
Connie Cunningham

Subject: Not Having Stake Holder Group (City Council Meeting, 3/8/22. Item 2- Housing Element, cont) Dear City Council:

I am wondering why Cupertino even has to have a Stake Holder Group for this Housing Element Cycle? We never had one before. Is HCD or ABAG requiring one to pass this Housing Element Cycle? HCD and ABAG have been micromanaging this Housing Element so much Up to this point that it seems like they are trying to manipulate this whole Housing Element To their anticipated goals and ends and not letting the public have any say in the matter.

Having dealt with advisory committees dreamed up by the San Jose Urban Village process, I do not feel like an Advisory Committee for Cupertino's Housing Element is the way to Go. The whole public has to be involved. If HCD doesn't like that, then that is their problem.

The public has not been allowed to say anything about this entire new time-driven Housing Element Cycle and I feel like the whole process is being rushed. I don't feel comfortable With this rush rush rush timeline HCD is pushing. Why are they rushing? Do they want the city To do a bad job? Is that their goal? Are we supposed to suffer these dire rezoning consequences If we ask questions and take our time? If we rush and do a bad job, we still get penalized.

This is a no win situation either way. The goal is to massively rezone our city lands either way.

Those are not very good odds.

So let the public go through all the sites. We don't need a committee to do that. We have spent Hours before going through items. We spent hours going through the Urban Village meetings and Data. We can do it again with the Housing Sites in this Housing Element. Cupertino is concerned About what happens in the city. HCD needs to respect that. If they dont, then may be they Do have a fast rezoning agenda.

I remain unconvinced that HCD and ABAG care about public input from cities. I remain unconvinced That HCD and ABAG are not promoting some sort of secret rezoning process of California cities For some secret process or group. Let's let the public go through all the sites in a public process Like we have done before in the previous Housing Elements in Cupertino and then the public Will feel they have done their due diligence on this matter. It will take hours. But who cares? True democracy is not easy. It is time-consuming and messy. But, that is what makes up Democracy, people, the public and questions and answers.

If HCD and ABAG have a problem with true democracy, they need to tell us, the public.

We don't need an Advisory Committee. We can do it ourselves.

Sincerely,
Jennifer Griffin

The presentation below is the 5 minute presentation I was planning to give on your March 8 Council Meeting. It is similar to the DOLA leadership email you received earlier, but yellow highlights differences from that email and green is a regular highlight. __________________________________
Presentation to City Council :

I am Louise Saadati, one of the main leaders in the DOLA Leadership Group.

Our DOLA Leadership and community now represent over 300 dogs, 500 people, and 6 different dog groups.

Though more DOLAS have been on the city work plan for 2 years, NO new DOLAs have been started since 2019.

In the March 8, 2022 meeting staff addendum C, Item 54, the city staff have inserted “an additional year of Jollyman DOLA observation by the City to occur BEFORE more DOLA trials can start”
This was NEVER discussed with the Jollyman DOLA leadership in the over 16 meetings we just had with the Parks and Recreation City staff, Commission, nor with former Interim City Manager, Greg Larson! The Parks and Recreation Commission NEVER recommended nor approved this.

This additional at least “one more year of city staff observing Jollyman DOLA” completely CONTRADICTS the CITY COUNCIL prioritisation of more DOLAS for the last two years and the current Parks & Recreation Commission recommendation of priority number 1 for more DOLAS.

Jollyman DOLA which never had fencing, has been observed since October 2019; its extensive 3 year trial was a success and it is now successfully on-going.

Instead of city staff observing Jollyman DOLA for at least another fourth year, the city staff could use these same city resources more effectively to actually start more DOLA trials.

We in the DOLA community have already organized and prepared four trial DOLAs (as we did at successfully at Jollyman DOLA), and are ready to start trials on them in the following order to begin:

July 2022
Linda Vista Park-Dog Group Memorial Park
Leaders Louise Saadati, Sangetta Kopardeka Deepa Mahendraker, Connie Chao Sheriffs
Louise Saadati, Sangetta Kopardekar,
Lav Pachauri, Sunder Ranganath Deepa Mahendraker
January 2023
Monta Vista Park Jollyman Little Dog/Delicate Dog Park
Leaders Vasantha Niranjan, Stan Moriya, Su Chen Louise Saadati, Gauri Dutt Sheriffs Vasantha Niranjan, Stan Moriya MaryEllen, Gauri Dutt If the city staff would only accept our help, it would significantly decrease use of city staff time and resources and facilitate prompt, efficient and successful DOLA trials.

Linda Vista Park Dog Group is first among our recommendations for DOLA trial because it is the most organized group with over 78 dogs and over 140 people and growing.

During the recent City Goals Survey 35 Linda Vista DOLA users ALL submitted surveys stating “more DOLAs” never stating “Linda Vista”. If we had been told that specific park names needed to be stated, then all 35 of the Linda Vista Park surveys would have stated “Linda Vista Park”.

Therefore a correct Sub-topics graph would show:

Chart
Instead of using staff resources needlessly and endlessly to observe Jollyman DOLA for a FOURTH YEAR, that same staff time and resources could be well used INSTEAD to working WITH the community to:

1. start 2 DOLA trials in July 2022 and then

2. start 2 more DOLA trials in January 2023.

Please vote to give a much higher priority above 10 to more DOLAs! Instead of the previous low priority of 29 out of 30 projects, more DOLAs should be given a higher priority closer to the 4/30 Senior Strategy achieved last year.

A large part of our DOLA users are seniors. Everyone’s mental and physical health and well being in the DOLA is tremendously improved by being amongst playful, happy dogs, fresh air, nature and the very friendly and happy DOLA community.

We in the DOLA leadership and community successfully performed 85% of the initiation, organization, data collection, and self-regulation and are STILL collecting data daily at our successful unfenced Jollyman DOLA.

Starting new DOLA trials in July 2022 with acceptance of the very experienced and dedicated DOLA leadership and community help with its record of proven success at Jollyman DOLA, will help to take this really RELATIVELY SMALL ITEM already organized by the community, into an quickly and efficiently ACHIEVED STATUS..

Whereby “more DOLAs” needing to be started, will not need to be brought up to our very busy council, year after year after year.

Thank you for your time, your dedication and service to our community. _________________________
We were present during the entire meeting last night, but due to miscommunication, we missed getting our “hands up”.

We will be attempting again to make a presentation on your April 5 meeting.

Please include the important analysis and information in our intended presentation above in your thoughts, as you decide which items to include in your April 5 meeting. Please keep our presentation in mind as you discuss in your prioritisation council meetings as this process continues.

Thank you for your time and service to our community.

Honorable Mayor Darcy Paul and Council Members;
Companies and visitors coming to California would love to know more about our city.

Cupertino is known worldwide thanks to Apple. Many International travelers wish to come to Cupertino. Some will want to hear more about the story of Apple and see from a distance the spaceship from Apple, visit and stay in our city and spend money at the same time and be able to purchase memorabilia from our City as well. Many will come and visit our wineries as well.

Cupertino is known to be the real Silicon Valley.

As a Hotelier, I always sell our city as a destination. Japan, Brazil, and European countries, including US domestic travelers would love to visit our city. There is a demand for up to 7 days stay in our city (combined with San Francisco), but nobody knows who to contact, what to do, where to go, where to stay, where to eat. No guidance. Most do not even know Cupertino possess some of the best wineries in our own city either.

It is quite simple; we are underrepresented as a City. The visitor center can fix that. The visitor center would indicate to anyone outside our City that Cupertino is welcoming everyone.

A visitor center is crucial and is desperately needed in our City.

Visit Gilroy, located 39 miles away from Cupertino have the best Visitor Center one city can possess. The Chamber of commerce of Gilroy work hand in hand with the Visitor center and the City. Together, they create a powerful tool. Gilroy is no exception, same as thousands of cities around the United states and the world. We are just one of the only remaining cities in the world that does not have one.

A visitor center equals a healthy city.

Once open, the visitor center will be able to provide information such as :
where to shop.
where to eat.
where to stay (for individual or convention stays).
provide information about wineries.
where to play golf.
buy some Cupertino-silicon valley memorabilia
provide information as to what to do in our city to leisure companies or businesses looking to do events in our City.
and so much more....

As the real capital of Silicon Valley, we have an opportunity to create a visitor center that our resident will be proud of. This Visitor center is truly a liaison between all of what Cupertino has to offer & the rest of the world,
I urge the City council to please create the Visitor Center. Attach please find information we have regrouped for you.

Available to discuss further should you have questions.

Kind regards,
Claudio
