Mayor Paul and councilmembers,
I was on the Zoom call for the Planning Commission meeting on April 26, 2022. The sole item on the agenda was the Housing Element housing sites selection inventory and strategies to promote the development of new housing. I was expecting rigorous participation by ALL members of the commission. Instead Vice Chair Muni Madhdhipatla was absent. Commissioner Ray Wang was in a vehicle, occasionally appearing on video, but was not viewing the very informative presentation and did not participate in specific site discussion. Commissioner Saxena Vikram appeared and disappeared from Zoom, and it was questionable whether the commission had a quorum. Commissioner Sanjiv Kapil apparently had not reviewed the commission packet prior to the meeting. Chairman Scharf was the only member to provide meaningful feedback to the consultant and staff. The public comment was better than the commissioners' ineffective review, but overall the discussion was not sufficiently robust to provide input for an approvable Housing Element.

Please establish a policy that commissioners must appear on video to be considered present for attendance. Also set expectations that commissioners should read the meeting packet in advance and be prepared for detailed review of planning documents, rather than being absent. (This has also occurred previously.)
Thank you for your attention to these important responsibilities.

Regards,
Jean Bedord

This email is the written copy of my Oral Communications tonight about the Housing Element.
2022-5-3 Oral Communications, City Council
Dear Mayor, Council, Manager, City Staff and Public:

On 2022-4-26, I attended the Planning Commission meeting on the Housing Element. The Housing Element is due January 2023. It is the plan for adding 4588 housing units to Cupertino’s housing stock.

I am particularly concerned with the possibility of displacement of people from their existing homes.

Displacement Projects: The site inventory presented that night cited several possible building sites that would result in mass displacement of existing renters. (in some cases, without even adding more density!) One calculation shows 600+ families would be displaced under this plan as described that night.

There was talk of culling sites from those on that site inventory list. Given the possibilities for displacement, it is appropriate to keep the numbers of sites large. I am very concerned about displacement. As you heard in a previous City Council meeting on another topic, there are 97 homes in Cupertino’s existing Below Market Rate (BMR) housing program that will be possibly maturing out of our system in the next four years. I urge that we look at sites for our Housing Element that will not displace people.

Specific questions addressing this issue of culling sites. There were two lists:

Recommended sites and Not recommended sites I asked that the report be revised to please tell us what the reasons were for including or not including sites on the list and map.

Land use policies may be a reason that owners haven’t made offers of interest.

Example: three sites together or independently would be excellent for new housing. Located on Stevens Creek Blvd near transit, shopping and education at De Anza College. --[if !supportLists]-->a. 20784 Stevens Creek Blvd – former Pizza Hut (empty for several years) is not on either list. Neither recommended nor not recommended. Why? --[if !supportLists]-->b.  20840 Stevens Creek Blvd – former Fontana’s Restaurant (empty) is on List of Not Recommended. Why ? --[if !supportLists]-->c. 20830 Steven Creek Blvd—existing Staples store is on list of Not Recommended. Have we approached the owner? Due to its location it could be merged with these two other properties for an excellent multi-family building.

Lastly, I think that the Heart of the City is an excellent place to put multi-family housing because of transit along Stevens Creek Blvd, access to shopping and education at sites around the city, including De Anza College.

Sincerely,
Connie Cunningham, Housing Commission (self only)

For oral communications at City Council, May 3, 2022
Dear City Council:

I watched the April 26th meeting of the Cupertino Planning Commission with dismay. An organized group of anti-affordable housing residents and non-residents were advocating for segregating housing by income level in Cupertino’s Housing Element. This goes against Cupertino’s efforts to promote inclusionary housing.

We should not be trying to increase affordable housing in Cupertino by segregating low- income residents into the most over-crowded areas of our city. This would be a racist act, harking back to the red-lining of the 20th century. These over-crowded areas, which will become even more over-crowded once the Marina, Vallco, Hamptons, and Westport projects are completed, should not have any more units added. Low-income residents in subsidized housing should have access to the same good schools, nice parks, and other amenities as wealthier residents.

The anti-affordable housing proponents had a script that continually pointed to the existence of the VTA 23 bus line as a justification for placing large amounts of Cupertino’s RHNA along Stevens Creek Boulevard. Are these groups naïve enough to believe that residents renting or buying housing units along Stevens Creek Boulevard are going to use VTA bus 23 for their transportation needs? This is absurd. Regardless of income, residents need vehicles to go to work, to go shopping, and for leisure activities.

I urge you to select as many smaller RHNA sites as possible, spread across the City, for two reasons. First, the owners of the small sites are much more likely to actually build their entitlements. Second, equitably distributing the RHNA entitlements spreads housing, both affordable and market-rate, throughout the City, increasing diversity.

Cupertino can create a Housing Element that meets HCD approval for AFFH (Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing) and that is respectful of residents regardless of income level.

I was also disappointed that commissioner Muni Madhdhipatla was absent and commissioner R. Wang did not stay for the whole meeting. I understand that commissioner Madhdhipatla had a family emergency in India and commissioner Wang was traveling for his job, but the Housing Element is vitally important and all commissioners should be present and prepared.

Finally, the consultant, EMC, hired by the City of Cupertino has performed abysmally. They are clueless, incompetent, and come to meetings unprepared. They should never be used by Cupertino again.

Sincerely
Kiran Chaudry

City Council Meeting 4/19 - Fee Schedule Update
Re-sending my comments for tonight's meeting.

Dear City Clerk,

Here are my comments regarding the increase of field use fees.

Increased field use fees have caused increased registration fees which cause lower enrollment. In short, we have to pass the increased costs to Cupertino residents.

Spring 2021, we had over 40 (maybe 50?) T-ball players.

Spring 2022, we doubled registration fees and we have barely have half the number of players at 23 T-ball players.

If a Cupertino resident sees an empty ball field and wants to use it, most likely they will play on it Wwithout paying for it.

Thank you,

Amy Jasper, Cupertino Little League Board member

Dear City Council,
Another FY22-23 New CIP Project is “City Hall Renovation/Replacement and Library Parking Garage:

Design and Construction”
First, there is NO PUBLIC SUPPORT for a 3-story above ground parking garage. The city is about finished with the Regnart Creek Trail that goes along the creek so people can enjoy nature and walk/ride bikes and now you are going to turn it into a CONCRETE CANYON!!! What’s natural about that?
What about the residents that this 3-story garage will loom over? Is it 3 floors plus parking on the top, too? That always is snuck in so it becomes 3-story but 4 floors of parking. So at night, car lights will shine over the homes. So much for dark skies! LIBRARY FIELD…Are they planning to take another chunk out of it? It needs to become a park so that snippets of it don’t keep disappearing!
Second, the City Hall…Yes, it needs to be addressed but where was the public comment? There was a design; money spent on a design; what about it? That previous design had underground parking.

What are the requirements? Shouldn’t these be discussed in public? This is public land, public space and the public uses it a lot!
I agree that “something” needs to be done but requirements need to be publicly discussed and a list first.

Dear City Council,

In looking at the New Projects for FY 22-23, #1 was a Splash Pad for Blackberry Farm at a budget of $500k!

The description says it replaces the “slide feature” which is at one end of the pool so $500k didn’t make sense until I saw this video below:
https://www.constructorasenqueretaro.com/how-to-build/how-much-does-it-cost-to-build-a- commercial-splash-pad.html

Now, I’m wondering if this means the entire pool is going to be replaced by this “Splash Pad”? If so, where’s the public comment on changing Blackberry Farm – the “master plan”? If it’s not replacing the pool, how big is this pad? Where’s it going? What space is being taken over by this pad?

Safety, contamination…
Is this cleaner than a pool? From the above descriptions, it grossed me out!

Please ask questions regarding this CIP Project.

Sincerely,
Peggy Griffin

With some help from the Fine Arts Commission for some of the items with art designed by community members, 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. Staff will present a plan to the Council on item selection and art design selection.

Approved by unanimous consent.

Add new Item 9a in addition to existing Item 9:
9a. RHNA related General Plan updates and rezoning (Housing Element) Review preliminary RHNA numbers. Look at strategies for RHNA compliance including evaluating sites for potential upzoning, and jobs‐housing ratio and statistics. Identify Priority Housing sites, update Housing Element and complete rezoning by September 2023.

Consider Heart of the City Items from 2019‐20 Work Program as appropriate:

Amend the Heart of the City Specific Plan;
1) For clarifications the minimum street side set back requirements. 2) To review street tree requirements to allow larger trees increase diversity of tree type and encourage drought tolerant and native tree types. 3) Update sections such as transit corridors in the City. 4) Maintain existing setbacks and consider minimum retail percentage to maintain a commercial strip.

Approved with Moore Chao polling no.

16. Support for the Unhoused combining:
‐ Homeless Jobs Program
‐ City Plan to End Homelessness
These items should be combined into formulating Formulate 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 CC 05-03-2022

Dear City Council,
I have 2 requests:

1. Continue permanently the hybrid remote teleconference meetings for all the meetings held in the Community Hall.

2. For all commission meetings held elsewhere, PLEASE make them hybrid, too. If that is not possible, PLEASE leave them on Zoom, not in person.

Although the pandemic has been horrible and way too long, one discovery for me and many others has been that having the commission meetings on Zoom has provided:
- ACCESS AND INCLUSION for many more people. People who work long hours, parents that can’t leave their children alone, the disabled, people who are tight on time, seniors who don’t like to drive at night, etc. - LESS PARKING REQUIRED if some people are attending remotely - COVID - for those who are not ready to meet in person or those who are immune compromised or have loved ones who are compromised, attending remotely gives them access. - SUSTAINABILITY because we don’t have to drive to attend so less CO2 for gas powered vehicles. - CHEAPER for attendees, due to the high cost of gas, many of us are limiting our driving trips. - CHEAPER AND MORE CONTROL for the city because when an important item is being discussed if a large portion of the audience is remote, there is less need for space, sheriff support and unruly speakers can easily be muted.
- LESS CONFUSION AND SPACE. Many people, me included, don’t really know where all these little rooms are located in City Hall. There’s no map posted with their names. That little conference room near the lobby is very small. If all the commissioners are present and the staff then there’s very little room for an observer to attend. It is a very tight space.
- LIKELIHOOD OF MORE COMMISSIONERS. Many working people work long hours or travel. If the city provides the ability for commissioners to attend remotely then they can participate no matter where they are. Also, if they work long hours, they can take a “break” to attend a commission meeting from work. - TRANSPARENCY. Having the commission meetings on Zoom provides recordings of the proceedings which can be available for those who could not view the meeting live. Many approved meeting minutes are not available for weeks/months so having a recording available is fast. Also, a recording is much more informative than the current style of meeting minutes which are mostly procedural descriptions rather than informational.

Please continue remote meetings and make the hybrid model a permanent model. Thank you to the IT Department for making it possible at all!
Sincerely,
Peggy Griffin

Statement of Mayor Darcy Paul Regarding Proposed Resolutions by the City of Cupertino to the United States Conference of Mayors
Thank you to my colleagues on the Cupertino City Council for considering my proposed Resolutions to the upcoming United States Conference of Mayors, which will be taking place next month, from June 2nd to June 6th.

With regard to the proposed Resolutions set forth this evening, I appreciate your leave to make a few comments. These three proposed Resolutions are entitled, first, "Accurate Public Information in a Digital Age"; second, "Financial Disclosure of Special-Interest Lobbying"; and third, "Democratic Principles for Open and Effective Public Discourse." Colleagues, I am not asking for monetary support with these proposed Resolutions, but I do very strongly believe that the principles represented and espoused within them are critically important for us, not just as a community, but as a society, to be able to function effectively.

Let me share with you a recent experience along these lines. People often say to me, "Why doesn't our local newspaper cover local news of import to the community?" That is an excellent question. From my perspective, it is not for a lack of trying. I have repeatedly during my terms in elected office asked our local reporters to cover our local events of significance. But instead of doing so, it frequently turns out to be the case that there is no interest in doing so.

In fact, exactly this happened last week. I was asked by a reporter for a local publication about prior comments during a study session on Cupertino's lobbying ordinance, which does exist and which is not unique. You would think that the ability to have some actual efficacy to an ordinance that requires people who are being paid to represent special interests to disclose the fact that they are being paid to affect the decisions of government officials would not even be remotely newsworthy. You would think that, instead, the Library in our City, which sees nearly a million patrons a year despite being the only Library in the Santa Clara County Library system not having a dedicated public-meeting space, would make news when we go through years long community-wide efforts to deliver precisely that type of space to the community and public, would be newsworthy. But no. Apparently a request to cover the latter is not even worth the courtesy of a response from the reporter.

That is one reason why I think that we need to support the proposed Resolution regarding lobbying. We need to stand with the side of disclosure if moneyed interests are seeking to determine decision-making in our democratic process. That is an absolute pre-requisite to intelligent and informed decision-making. That is the subject of my second proposed Resolution. Similarly, the first Resolution, regarding accurate public information, is also critically necessary to support. This is self-evident. If the public is being presented with inaccurate and untruthful information posing as, for instance, news, then this is a disservice to our democratic process. This is about efficacy in decision-making. We have a system that is about freedom, but page 1 of 3
Statement of Mayor Darcy Paul
it is also about self-governance and informed decision-making. Do we have a problem? My answer to this is, yes, we absolutely have a problem, and we need as a society to address the spread of misinformation and lies in our electoral process in a manner that preserves our freedoms, on the one hand, but also recognizes that the underlying core value of the notion that we have a democracy of the people, by the people and for the people, is that the people must be able to have trust in the information set forth in front of them when engaging in the process of democratic decision-making.

Finally, I ask your support for the third proposed Resolution, which relates to how we are to proceed not just with preventing the corruption of our system, but realizing and continuing to enhance its promise. We are so very fortunate to have each other. I absolutely and unwaveringly acknowledge that point . And I know that our system is premised upon, among other factors, checks and balances to ensure that, for instance, the agglomeration of power does not adhere towards smaller and smaller groups in the population. But I also believe that if we look at any given issue that may seem intractable, we can also break that issue down into parts dealing with currently existing interests, theoretical solutions, and then policy-making that can help address the influences and requirements of the former and encourage the development of the latter. My point here is that, if we have open and honest conversations, that is precisely what our system of governance is about. I have been most opposed in my experiences in public office to those instances where any of these parts have devolved. Where we mislead for personal or financial gain. Where we smear for no reason other than not even a sense that the ends justify the means but because we want what we want and we think that some person or people are getting in the way, but because we go down this road too far, we lose our ability to think at all. Where we don't think through the steps needed to go about solving a problem comprehensively and successfully.

And this is exactly where we stand right now, colleagues. We are at a critical inflection point in democracy. Do we allow paid-for outright lies, on any and every side of an issue, to continue to erode our conversations? Do we allow moneyed interests to continue with activities heedless of the actual repercussions of undisclosed paid-for lobbying? Do we allow the system to become so corrupted that those who are fighting and sacrificing to solve our problems are the ones who are pilloried? Is every mechanism that we have to enlighten, to elevate and to improve, subject to greed and gaslighting to a degree that the quality of the conversation and the results mean nothing at all? I submit to you, respectfully, that if we let this continue, then it is not a community that is at stake and in jeopardy. It is every community. It is the system itself.

On the other hand, if we remember our starting principles, and we remember why we are spending the time here today, communicating with each other, trying to bring to light and air concerns, trying to understand not in the vacuum of accuracy or informed by enmity causing us to attack each other anonymously, then we have something unique, worth preserving, worth sacrificing for, and worth constantly re-examining and improving. We have a system that strives to listen and to understand, and we are every one of us then truly lucky to have each other as colleagues in bringing forth these types of understandings and solutions .

Statement of Mayor Darcy Paul
Thank you for your kind and thoughtful consideration of these proposed Resolutions. While the proposed Resolutions are perhaps not of a typical style in that they do not ask for financial support, everything in my background and experience tells me that they are the principles that we as a society must support, and that this is the time, this inflection point in technology, in health, and in congregation, to take such a stand. And I thank you, my fellow Councilmembers, for standing with me as we have worked together to reach out to each and every part of this community and beyond in order to have more open and direct communications. We all know what the real work entails, and that it is not always easy or pleasant, which is to say that mostly it is difficult and stressful. I thank you for your fellowship and integrity, and I ask for your support here.

Re: FY 2022-2023 Park In-Lieu Fee and Transportation Impact Fee Dear Chris:

I am writing on behalf of Vallco Property Owner LLC (VPO) to object to the City’s proposed actions regarding its Park Land Dedication In-Lieu Fee (“Park In-Lieu Fee”) and Transportation Impact Fee for Fiscal Year (FY) 2022-23.

I. Park In-Lieu Fee
Earlier this month, the City proposed to increase its Park In-Lieu Fee rates for FY 2022-23 by 30% based on a March 2022 appraisal, which was the subject of my letter to you dated April 19, 2022. The City has now withdrawn that proposal and is instead proposing to keep the Park In- Lieu Fee at FY 2021-22 rates. The current proposal to keep the Park In-Lieu Fee at FY 2021- 22 rates is a challengeable action on the part of the City. Because the City is required to “update” the fair market value used in setting the Park In-Lieu Fee annually, the City will be taking action on the Park In-Lieu Fee even if it chooses not to change the fee rates. (See Cupertino Municipal Code 13.080.060(B), (C).)
VPO objects to the City’s proposal to set the Park In-Lieu Fee at FY 2021-22 rates. The City used the same methodology to set the FY 2021-22 rates as it used to calculate the revised rates that it proposed earlier this month to adopt for FY 2022-23. The FY 2021-22 rates therefore suffer from the same fatal flaws identified in my April 19 letter and the City’s proposal is problematic for all of the legal and policy reasons set out in that letter, which is incorporated here by reference.

It bears repeating that the City’s methodology is legally unsupportable. It is the City’s burden to show that it used a “valid method . . . for imposing the fee in question,” and a method is only valid if it “established a reasonable relationship between the fee charged and the burden posed by the development.” (Home Builders Ass’n of Tulare/Kings Counties, Inc. v. City of Lemoore (2010) 185 Cal.App.4th 554, 561). In estimating how much it would cost the City to acquire new parkland, the March 2021 appraisal on which the City relied to set FY 2021-22 fees, like the Chris Jensen
May 3, 2022

17571.001 4894-2672-7454.3
City’s March 2022 appraisal, assumed that (1) the City would purchase the most valuable parcels in the City—entitled residential and mixed-use sites—and (2) it would purchase and assemble existing single-family-house lots. In reality, the City has no intention of acquiring these very-high-value parcels and converting them to parks. To do so would be inconsistent with the City’s historical practice of converting lower value sites into parks, has no basis in either the General Plan and the Parks Master Plan, and would defy common sense. The City cannot lawfully set park fees based on the cost of buying some of the highest-value parcels, “untethered from whether the City actually plans to” acquire those parcels and convert them to parks. (See Boatworks, LLC v. City of Alameda (2019) 35 Cal.App.5th 290, 300 (fee “calculation that is based” on an assumption unsupported by City’s “actual[] plans . . . is not reasonably related to the burden posed by anticipated new development”).) “A fee based in significant part on costs the City will not incur . . . does not have a reasonable relationship to the cost of the public facility attributable to the development.” (Id.) The City’s approach artificially inflates the fee and is not valid.

The City’s methodology is problematic for the additional reason that it is based exclusively on the purported costs of acquiring parkland, whereas the City will use all or most of the Park In- Lieu Fees to upgrade existing park facilities instead. The City’s park system already includes

3.7 acres of parks per 1,000 residents,1 well in excess of the General Plan’s goal of three acres per 1,000 residents, so there is not an immediate need to acquire additional parkland. The Parks Master Plan has many ideas for park upgrades and no suggestions for acquisitions, other than Lawrence Mitty, which the City recently acquired. That is, the City has no current plans to acquire any land for park purposes and therefore it is unlikely that the City will use the fees to acquire new parkland. Under Boatworks, if the City does not intend to acquire new parkland, it cannot base Park In-Lieu Fees on the cost of acquiring new parkland. Instead, the fee must be calculated based on the intended use of the funds: park improvements.

Using the fees for improvements rather than acquisitions is also consistent with City policy and practice. Appendix G to the Parks Master Plan states that Park In-Lieu Fees are “used to acquire new parkland or fund capital improvements at existing recreation and park facilities which will serve the new units.” (Cupertino Parks and Recreation System Master Plan, Appendix G, at G-2.) Further, the City does, in fact, spend the fees on capital improvements.

For example, the FY 2021-22 budget included $1 million from the Park In-Lieu Fees fund to repurpose drained ponds in Memorial Park. In the last decade, there has been very little park acquisition; Park In-Lieu Fees are instead spent on capital improvement projects. Under Boatworks, it is impermissible to justify a park fee based on the cost of acquisition when the intended use of the funds is capital improvements.

II. Transportation Impact Fee
The Cupertino Transportation Impact Fee Nexus Study (“TIF Nexus Study”) underlying the City’s Transportation Impact Fee, which the City is proposing to amend and readopt, is also flawed. The TIF Nexus Study states that the TIF “revenue will be used to fund additional transportation capacity necessary to accommodate growth.” That is, the purported nexus is that the new infrastructure will create roadway capacity for new development. However, this connection is not established. Of the $59,780,125 in costs allocated to the TIF program in the TIF Nexus Study (2017 dollars), $49,721,096, or 83%, was for bicycle and pedestrian improvements. This allocation was flawed for two reasons: (1) the bike/ped improvements are not intended to create capacity to accommodate new development, so there is not a nexus, and (2) even if they were allowed, the City has attributed an excessive share of the costs to new development.

The need for these bike/ped improvements is not to create capacity for new growth, but rather the need is to address existing safety issues (unrelated to new development) and to implement City policy to promote bicycling and walking as alternative modes of transit. The City has many General Plan policies that seek to encourage bike and pedestrian connectivity, but those policies are unconnected to growth; they are simply policy goals to be more bike and ped friendly. Many of the bike/ped improvements identified in the 2017 Nexus Study were derived from the 2016 Bicycle Transportation Plan. That Plan established a broad citywide vision for “an exceptional bicycling environment that supports active living and healthy transportation choices, provides for safer bicycling, and enables people of all ages and abilities to access jobs, school, recreation, shopping, and transit on a bicycle as a part of daily life.” (Bicycle Transportation Plan, p. 2-19.) To accomplish these goals, the Bicycle Transportation Plan included a prioritized list of projects, which was based on a detailed "Needs Analysis.” At no point does that analysis suggest that the new improvements are needed to accommodate new development, but rather the analysis identified dangerous intersections or areas where connectivity could be enhanced. That is, the improvements address these existing substandard conditions. Therefore, the purpose of the improvements funded by the TIF is not to create capacity for new growth, as the TIF Nexus Study purports, but rather to improve existing conditions. For these reasons, the City has failed to establish a “reasonable relationship between the fee charged and the burden posed by the development.” (See Home Builders Ass’n of Tulare/Kings Counties, Inc. v. City of Lemoore (2010) 185 Cal.App.4th 554, 561.) This is further shown by the fact that the TIF funded improvements are distributed throughout the City, rather than focused in areas with new growth, which further shows that they are unrelated to growth. The General Plan divides the City into two categories – Special Areas and Neighborhoods – with virtually all future growth occurring in Special Areas. While no growth is planned in the Neighborhoods, they contain many proposed bike improvements that would be paid for by the TIF. For example, virtually all of the City south of McLellan Road consists of Neighborhoods, but there are numerous bike/ped improvements proposed in this area. There is Chris Jensen
May 3, 2022

Page 4 ends

17571.001 4894-2672-7454.3
no relationship between the growth that will occur in Special Areas and the bike/ped improvements proposed in the Neighborhoods, so it is improper to include those in the TIF.

Even if these improvements could properly form the basis of the TIF, the TIF Nexus Study attributes an outsized allocation to new development. In particular, the study “allocate[s]” a

50.2% share of the cost of these improvements “to New Development,” but the only justification for doing so is that 49.8% of the trips both start and end outside of Cupertino. However, since fees must be based on the impact of new development, not existing impacts, the only way the City could allocate 50.2% of the costs to new development would be if all 50.2% of the trips that start or end (or both) within Cupertino are related to new development, which is obviously not the case. In fact, the study contains no analysis of what proportion, if any, of the need for the improvements is caused by new development. (Shapell Indus., Inc. v. Governing Board (1991) 1 Cal.App.4th 218, 236 (City must “determine which portion,” if any, of the need for the impact fee “is attributable to new development and . . . therefore which portion of the total cost of new facilities should be allocated to the developer”).)
* * * *
For these reasons, we object to the proposals (1) to adopt the FY 2021-22 rates for the Park In- Lieu Fee and (2) to adopt the increased Transportation Impact Fee.

Miles Imwalle

Dear City Council and Staff,

I’d like to thank the Council and Staff for finally making the Economic Development Committee an official committee. As an official committee, the public can expect regular agendas posted and meeting minutes along with agenda item materials to review.

I’d like to emphasize that as stated on the Staff Report Page 1 of 4, under “Powers and Functions”, that the Econ Dev Committee “SHALL be to serve in an advisory capacity to the City Council…” NOT the Chamber! It is not intended to be a forum for the Chamber to quietly influence the City Staff policy and direction!

I have 2 suggestions:

SUGGESTION #1 - Change the membership list to be
2 City Council members
4 Cupertino business representatives, and state “ideally each from different sectors such as Technology, Retail, Hospitality/Tourism, Restaurant or Entertainment. Also, a mixture from big and small businesses.”
1 Cupertino resident, ideally business owner
Q: Does their business need to be in Cupertino?

This would give some selection flexibility yet give a preference for membership diversity across sectors. Please note that “Retail” and “Restaurant” are different!

Also, although it is important for the city and the Chamber to have a good working relationship, the Chamber should not have a specific voting seat reserved for them. It is likely that several of the business representatives will be Chamber members anyway but it should not be required. It is also likely that a Chamber representative will attend these meetings anyway and speak on items of interest. They should not have a designated seat. They are a lobbying group.

SUGGESTION #2 - Specify who is the City Staff liaison for this committee Economic Development Manager

This clarifies who the city contact point would be for this committee.

In the future, if the committee has time, it would be wonderful if they could look into:

1. Look at all the Neighborhood Commercial Centers. Some are very successful and others struggle.
a. Why? Is there a combination of stores that make it work? b. Is there a manager that works well?
c. Is it the leasing agreements?
d. Provide a list or referrals for struggling centers.

2. Mixed use does not work in Cupertino
a. Why?
b. Is the size of the retail spaces the problem? If so, what min/max sizes are needed? What features are needed to entice businesses to lease? c. What size is needed for a grocery store? For a clothing store? Shoe store? Etc d. What DOES work? Is it retail surrounded by housing but not mixed into it?

3. Audit what businesses we have in Cupertino?
a. What do we need and where?
b. Why do we have so many banks? There’s no sales tax.

Thank you,
Peggy Griffin

Good afternoon Kitty,
Your email has been received by the City Clerk’s Office and will be added to the written communications for item number 26 on the May 3, 2022 City Council agenda.

Subject: May 3, 2022 Agenda Item 26 Written Communications

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 add the attached document to today's Council agenda item 26. This file shows that the Cupertino is a 501 (c) 6 lobbying organization with an associated PAC, the Cupertino Chamber of Commerce PAC (Chamber PAC).

The file also shows that the Chamber PAC, during just one form 460 filing, received $100,000 from Sand Hill Property Company, which is the Vallco Property Owner, and the Chamber PAC supported the Hills at Vallco Measure D Ballot Measure, Opposed Measure C, Opposed Candidate and former Mayor, and current Planning Commission Chair Steven Scharf and Opposed CUSD board candidate and current City of Cupertino Vice Mayor Liang Chao. The Vice Mayor's CUSD campaign was successful.

The document also shows that the Chamber PAC supported current Councilmember Hung Wei's campaign in 2018 with approximately $120,000. The Chamber PAC also supported candidates Orrin Mahoney and Savita Vaidhyanathan with $120,000 each in the one form 460 shared for 2018 out of many filed and available in the City Records.

I would like the file to be available for a screen share as may be needed.

Thank you.

Dear City Council,

QUESTIONS/CONCERNS:
#1 – Website hosting…Staff Report Page 4 of 5
Q1: Why are the prices all over the place? Where were they hosting and what kind of contract was it? Are we paying for the Chamber’s website, too? What’s included? This is way too high based on prices I have seen for website hosting! This is public funds. We should have access to the actual cost.
$1,081.85 for Website hosting FY 17-18
$1,700 for Website hosting FY 18-19
$464 for Website hosting FY 19-20
? for Website hosting FY 20-21

#2 – Database subscription (see above, Staff Report page 4 of 5) Q2: Why are the prices all over the place? What database subscription with whom? Is it being used for Chamber purposes, too? Are we subsidizing their activities with this subscription? Again, this is public money so we should have access to the actual costs. $1,383.62 for Database subscription FY 17-18 $2,175.00 for Database subscription FY 18-19 $593.00 for Database subscription FY 19-20 ?? for Database subscription FY 20-21

#3 – Future scope of work with the Chamber of Commerce
See REQUEST #3 below.

#4 – I love Cupertino program (Staff Report Page 5 of 5) This SHOULD NOT BE maintained by the Chamber of Commerce! The calendar they have is a Chamber Calendar, not a city calendar that promotes city events! This only promotes Chamber related/sponsored events yet the public is paying for it! Festivals that are not “Chamber events” don’t show up. The Sunday Farmers Market, the Friday Farmers Market, etc. should be listed.

People visiting Cupertino would be interested in that.

Our IT department should be maintaining this website, not a lobbying group. There are businesses in our community that are not members of the Chamber yet they should be able to be promoted and engaged in this website.

REQUESTS:

1. Please request copies of the invoices received by the Chamber for all the above website hosting and database subscriptions for the years 2015-2021.

2. Please DO NOT spend any more staff time on a Scope of Work for the “I love Cupertino” website with the Chamber! If the IT Department can’t handle it, do a RFP with a formalized scope of work.

3. A formal scope of work that defines exactly the relationship, expectations and deliverables between the Chamber and the City needs to be developed. The Chamber is a valuable organization that can provide business perspectives on issues BUT they should not get special privileges such as a “preview” of what the staff is thinking on an action that is not available also to the general public and other organizations! All organizations and the general public should have the same access.

Sincerely,
Peggy Griffin
