The blatant mischaracterization of the actual series of events is apparent even from the 2019 news article Mr. Wang’s opponents are fond of citing, which confirms that Mr. Wang “pleaded no contest to a misdemeanor charge of ‘making annoying telephone calls to a place of work.’” The article also notes that Mr. Wang vigorously opposed allegations that Ms. Foust made against him in a civil lawsuit, and that the lawsuit ultimately settled with no adjudication of guilt. See https://sanjosespotlight.com/cupertino-policymaker-in-hot-water-for-past-sexual-harassment-lawsuit/.

Simply put, the recent attacks on Mr. Wang are false, misleading, and constitute a transparent attempt by those who support his political opponents to smear him in advance of a heated election. This is all the more obvious given that the allegations concern events that transpired two decades ago. We urge the City Council, in its good judgment, to view the events in their proper context in conducting the meeting on March 7, 2023, and any future business.

CITY OF CUPERTINO ETHICS POLICY
The citizens, businesses, and organizations of the City are entitled fair, ethical, and accountable local government that has earned the public' s full confidence for integrity.

To this end, the City Council has adopted this Ethics Policy for City Council, appointed officials, and staff of the City of Cupertino to promote public confidence in the integrity of local government and its effective and fair operation.

A. Comply with Law
City elected/ appointed officials and staff comply with the laws of the nation, the State of California and the City in the performance of their public duties. These laws include, but are not limited to: the United States and California constitutions, the Cupertino Municipal Code, City ordinances and policies, and laws pertaining to conflicts of interest, election campaigns, financial disclosures, employer responsibilities and open processes of governments. The City ensures its elected/ appointed officials and staff receive regular training on ethics as required by state law.

B. Conduct of Members
The professional and personal conduct of City elected/ appointed officials and staff should be respectful of others, recognizing that individuals can respectfully disagree with each other. City elected/ appointed officials and staff should refrain from abusive conduct, personal charges, or verbal attacks upon the character or motives of others, including members of the Council, boards and commissions, the staff, or the public.

C. Respect for Process
City elected/ appointed officials and staff perform their duties in accordance with various processes and rules of order established from time to time by the City Council governing the deliberation of public policy issues, conduct of quasijudicial proceedings, meaningful involvement of the public, and implementation of policy decisions of the City Council by City staff.

D. Decisions Based on Merit
City elected/ appointed officials and staff make their decisions in the best interest of the City, which might include relevant policy considerations, rather than on unrelated considerations.

E. Conflict of Interest
The City’s ethics policy regarding conflicts of interest is to comply with all applicable ethics rules in the State of California. This Policy is not intended to go beyond or expand upon those rules. In general, in order to assure their independence and impartiality on behalf of the common good, City elected/ appointed officials and staff do not use their official positions to participate in or influence decisions in which they have a material financial interest, an organizational responsibility, or a close familial or embroiled personal relationship.

F. Gifts and Favors
City elected/ appointed officials and staff limit and report gifts as required by state law, and follow advice provided by the City Attorney.

G. Confidential Information
City elected/ appointed officials and staff respect the confidentiality of information concerning the property, personnel, and affairs of the City. They neither disclose confidential information without proper legal authorization, nor use such information to advance their personal, financial or other private interests.

H. Use of Public Resources
City elected/ appointed officials and staff do not use public resources, such as City staff time, equipment, supplies or facilities, for private gain or personal/ political purposes ( except to the extent those resources are available to the public generally).

I. Representing the City & Advocacy
When formally authorized to represent and/ or advocate for the official policies or positions of the City, elected/ appointed officials and staff must do so accurately and in a limited fashion that does not go beyond the scope of their authority. By contrast, when City elected/ appointed officials and staff are presenting their individual opinions and positions on issues potentially relevant to the City, they must explicitly state they do not represent their body or the City and must not allow any inference that they do.

J. Positive Work Place Environment
City elected/ appointed officials and staff support the maintenance of a positive and constructive work place environment for City employees and for citizens and businesses dealing with the City. City elected/ appointed officials recognize their special role in dealings with City staff, taking care not to create any perception of inappropriate direction to staff.

The attempted removal of Commissioner Wang is unjust and politically motivated by the new, three-member City Council majority that has lost the community's trust and faith.

The new majority have colluded with staff to remove the resident-focused council members from key committees.

The new majority have sought to shut down commissions where their views do not prevail.

The new majority seek to silence public commentary on agenda items at council and commission meetings, which limits are codified in a new process manual.

The residents see the attack on Commissioner Wang as part of a larger strategy to remove resident-focused Planning commissioners and replace them with a "rubber stamp" commission that will not question the aggressive growth agenda. Your recent actions and the City’s recent history suggest that the following agenda is likely:
- Approving an unnecessary, expensive new city hall.
- Jeopardizing future housing site selections by including an excessively large buffer in the current housing cycle.
-Appeasing developers who seek to circumvent prudent processes.

Consider how the 2018 city council and staff let the Vallco developer test his own site for toxins. The Vallco owner found no significant levels of toxins. The project was set to move forward until alert residents pressed for further investigation, which revealed significant levels of toxins. Now the County manages the site cleanup and the city is saved from a possibly large public safety liability.

Just a few weeks ago, this city council and city staff attempted to write into the city code a way to remove former two-time Mayor and current two-time Chair of the Planning Commission, Steven Scharf. This action was politically motivated and as the City Attorney determined, it was also unlawful.

The latest endeavor by the new council majority to gain control of the Planning Commission is to remove former two-time Chair and one-time Vice Chair of the Planning Commission, R "Ray" Wang, on trumped-up charges of treating staff and consultants poorly. The malicious attempts by the three-member majority to defame him cast a shameful pall over the City Council.

I support Commissioner Wang’s hard work and determination to represent the resident's interests.

Wang and the current planning commissioners Steven Scharf and Muni Madhdhipatla have worked hard for sensible growth:
-Approved the Westport Project, which provides a large contingent of the housing that is mandated by the State of California. The project is sensible because it does not jeopardize future housing elements by adding excessive office space. -Approved the new hotel at Cupertino Village, which provides a plentiful tax revenue stream to Cupertino.
-Approved the Bateh Brothers site for new mixed-use housing. The developer followed appropriate processes and did not insist on overbuilding. -Completed their duty in housing element site selection.

Commissioner Wang has a long history of defending his community from developers and business interests who seek to take advantage of residents and their rights. Wang has been a strong advocate for resident-focused causes and keeping the city staff accountable.

Wang questioned why staff have taken no action to create 5G tower architectural standards to protect our neighborhoods. The lack of a response from staff has been unacceptable.

Wang also criticized a very inept housing element consultant at EMC who failed to complete the required project and cost the city 100's of thousands of dollars. The staff failed to take responsibility and be accountable for hiring a bad consultant but Wang was told that he was not respectful for criticizing the city staff and the consultant.

We need more residents like Wang who represent the interests of residents. We feel Wang has represented us well and should continue to serve as our voice on the Planning Commission.

It is not right that the current council majority has opportunistically attempted to use Commissioner Wang’s focus on resident safety and staff accountability against him. Previous city councils have not capriciously dismissed commissioners in this fashion nor should they in the future. The attempted removal of Commissioner Wang is politically expedient for the new council majority but it is unjust and unprecedented.

Commissioner Wang should serve out his term.

Please reconsider the council’s actions to remove Wang from the Planning Commission.

City Clerk Kirsten Squarcia,
Dear Cupertino City Council, City Attorney, City Manager, and City Clerk I am writing to you today in regard to the agenda item that considers the removal of Commissioner Wang from the Cupertino Planning Commission..

Please include this letter as written communication for the 3/7/2023 City Council meeting, Agenda Item 11, RETAIN, do not remove, Planning Commissioner Ray Wang." The attempted removal of Commissioner Wang is unjust and politically motivated.

The latest endeavor by the new council majority to remove former two-time Chair and one-time Vice Chair of the Planning Commission, R "Ray" Wang, on trumped-up charges of treating staff and consultants poorly. The malicious attempts by the three-member majority to defame him casts a shameful pall over the City Council. It is plain and clear a politically motivated attempt to gain control of the Planning Commission.

I support Commissioner Wang’s hard work and determination to represent the resident's interests.

Wang questioned why staff have taken no action to create 5G tower architectural standards to protect our neighborhoods. The lack of a response from staff has been unacceptable.

Last year the City hired a very inept housing element consultant at EMC who failed to complete the required project and cost the city 100's of thousands of dollars. The staff failed to take responsibility and be accountable for hiring a bad consultant but Wang was told that he was not respectful for criticizing the city staff and the consultant. Finally City management realized it’s bad hiring decision and had to terminate the EMC contract.

We need more residents like Wang who represent the interests of residents. We feel Wang has represented us well and should continue to serve as our voice on the Planning Commission.

Commissioner Wang should serve out his term.

Please reconsider the council’s actions to remove Wang from the Planning Commission.

City Clerk Kirsten Squarcia,
Cupertino City Council, City Attorney, City Manager, and City Clerk Please include my letter as written communication for the 3/7/2023 City Council meeting, Agenda Item 11,
Stop The Divisiveness And Ugly Politics - Do Not Remove Planning Commissioner Wang An attempted removal of Wang is unjust and politically motivated by a majority City Council that has lost the trust and faith of a large percentage of our community.

Just a few weeks ago, this city council and city staff attempted to write into the city code a way to remove former two-time Mayor Steven Scharf and current two-time Chair of the Planning Commission. This action was deemed unlawful and atrocious.

This latest endeavor attempts to remove former two-time Chair and one-time Vice Chair of the planning commission R "Ray" Wang on trumped up charges of treating staff and consultants poorly, and calling out the staff's sand bagging of requests from the commission. The attempts to defame him and his reputation are misplaced.

Your constituents see this attack on Wang as part of a larger strategy to remove resident focused commissioners and replace them a "rubber stamped" commission that will do your bidding from approving a unnecessary expensive new city hall to jeopardizing future housing site selections and appeasement of developers who seek to build on the toxic site at Vallco without cleaning the land up.

Wang and the current planning commissioners Steven Scharf and Muni Madhdhipatla have worked hard to approve the Westport Project, the new hotel at Cupertino Village, the Bateh Brothers site for new mixed-use housing, and complete their duty in housing element site selection.

Wang has been a strong advocate for resident focused causes and keeping the city staff accountable. He thinks creatively and works with his fellow commissioners by communicating and asking for, and listening to, collective thoughts.

In fact, Wang continues to question why no action has been taken to create 5G tower architectural standards to protect our neighborhoods. The lack of a response by staff has been unacceptable.

Wang also rightfully criticized a very inept housing element consulting firm, EMC, who did not have a handle on the job at hand and failed to complete the project requirements. The city took far too long to take responsibility and accountability for hiring a bad consultant. Wang has been told he was not respectful in criticizing city staff and the consultant. Criticism was accurate and appropriate. Eventually, the EMC team contract was terminated. But the damage was done.

Many people, including residents, spoke out during multiple Housing Element public meetings with comments about the lack of progress that EMC was making. This highly compensated consultant failed to take responsibility, or pick up the pace of work.

Questionable behavior has been consistently challenged by Wang and the other pro-resident focused commissioners and council members. We need more residents like Wang who represent the interests of residents.

Your potential removal of Wang is unjust and politically motivated. Members of this City Council have been donors to the instigator, Sunnyvale City Council member Richard Mehlinger, who has a personal vendetta against Wang. Mehlinger, a Sunnyvale resident, has very aggressively spoken on various topics during Cupertino council and commission meetings numerous times - over many years.

In his way, Ray Wang has represented residents well and should continue to serve as our voice in the community. He should retain his Planning Commissioner role.

City Clerk Kirsten Squarcia,
I am a Cupertino community member. This community means a lot to me, and I believe we are home to some of the brightest and most compassionate minds in California. Unfortunately, we are still recovering from prior leadership that has greatly damaged our reputation, including the past actions of Planning Commissioner R. Wang. That is why I am here today to voice my strong support for the removal of Planning Commissioner R. Wang.

Instead of admitting the truth, he lied that developer interests hacked his computer.

Commissioner Wang even acts on misinformation to propel his political agenda, instead of listening to legal advice, putting the city at risk of being sued. For example, when the City sought to fix a density bonus ordinance to comply with state law, he compared this to free and fair democratic elections in the Soviet Union.”
I believe in Cupertino and its future–that’s why I am here speaking for democracy and for ethical leadership. It’s past time for the Council to hold Commissioner Wang accountable.

Please honor the lived experiences of those who have been personally harmed by Mr. Wang and do the right thing. Please honor the intelligence and character of our good residents, who deserve to have genuine trust in their officials.

Thank you for your time. It’s time to bring dignity back to Cupertino. [email protected]

He continues to question why no action has been taken to create 5G tower architectural standards to protect our neighborhoods.

He also criticized an inept housing element consultant who failed to complete the project required and cost the city 100s of thousands of dollars. For that, the staff again failed to take responsibility and deflected criticism by saying Wang was not respectful. That accusation maligns his character. I've never known Wang to be anything less than courteous and haven't heard anyone else say otherwise.

Removing Wang and the other pro-resident focused commissioners and council members is politically motivated. He has done right by the residents and his removal is unjust.

City Clerk Kirsten Squarcia,
In the time that I have known Commissioner Wang, he has defended his community from developers and business interests who seek to take advantage of residents and their rights time and time again. Though Wang can at times come across as harsh, I provide my unwavering support of Wang's stance, hard work, and determination to represent his residents' interests.

Wang and the current planning commissioners, Steven Scharf and Muni Madhdhipatla, have worked hard to approve the Westport Project, the new hotel at Cupertino Village, the Bateh Brothers site for new mixed-use housing, and perform their duty in housing element site selection.

Wang persists in advocating for resident-focused causes, holding the city staff accountable, and leading by example in telling the people how it is -- even when others resort to engaging in blatant retribution.

Wang continues to question why no action has been taken to create 5G tower architectural standards to protect our neighborhoods. The lack of a response by staff has been unacceptable.

This pattern of city staff behavior has been consistently challenged by Wang and the other proresident focused commissioners and council members.

In a world where bad behavior often goes unregulated and ungoverned, we need more watchdog residents like Wang, who not only represent the interests of their fellow residents, but also improve the quality of those selected to operate community funds by speaking up, speaking out, and speaking for the residents.

Your potential removal of Wang is unfounded and unjust, and I hope and trust that you can put aside political differences and do what is right to represent your residents more fairly.

City Clerk Kirsten Squarcia,
I hope you are doing well! I've been a Cupertino resident for 26 years, and am glad I can call this place home. Since the pandemic, I've been trying to make an effort to also get to know more of my neighbors and be a bit more involved in our local politics. However, in that process, I've experienced and seen a lot of strangely hateful language and actions from the sitting Planning Commissioner Ray Wang. That is why I am here today to voice my strong support for the removal of Planning Commissioner Ray Wang.

As a Cupertino official, Ray has urged fellow residents to doxx other residents over local housing disputes, and had tried to accuse groups like the Cupertino Rotary and the Cupertino Chamber of Commerce of conspiracy theory-level manipulation and involvement in our lives. In my own experience, I've seen him outright lie and use violent language against others in community spaces like Nextdoor - and I have yet to see him say anything that hasn't been aggrandizing or boastful in any space I've been with him in. This is seriously unbecoming behavior of someone who is a representative of my city, and does not represent my best interests. Not only that, but for issues as serious as those considered by a Planning Commissioner - huge investments in property in housing - he is not someone who is reasonable or puts an effort to learn much about the field, or this community's needs.

Thank you for reading my letter, and please consider the removal of Ray Wang from the position of Planning Commissioner.

City Clerk Kirsten Squarcia,
I am a Cupertino community member. I am proud of our community and love living here. We are home to some of the brightest and most compassionate minds in the world and the people that represent us should reflect that. Unfortunately, prior leadership that has greatly damaged our reputation, including the past actions of Planning Commissioner R. Wang. That is why I am here today to voice my strong support for the removal of Planning Commissioner R. Wang.

He has repeatedly abused his power to harass community members, even trying to get housing activists fired from their jobs. He lies and spreads misinformation. His bullying tactics to silence opponents are a stain on the city, and his rhetoric is heavily damaging for our push to make progress on affordable housing..

I know, for myself, his tactics make me timid about sharing thoughts during the public comment period, as I am scared I will be attacked for having the "wrong" opinion (as has happened on NextDoor). And, from the last election, it seems at least half of the residents probably have different opinions than him. He needs to listen to all of us, respectfully.

I believe in Cupertino and its future–that’s why I am here speaking for democracy and for ethical leadership. It’s past time for the Council to hold Commissioner Wang accountable.

Thank you for your time. It’s time to bring dignity back to Cupertino.

I am the chair of the Cupertino Bicycle Pedestrian Commission, speaking as an individual only.

Cupertino holds an important place in my heart, and I believe that as community members and leaders, we must hold everyone in our community to high standards, especially elected and appointed officials. We must confront the mistakes that our City leadership has made in the past. I voice my strong support for the removal of Planning Commissioner R. Wang.

While a sitting Planning Commissioner City official, Commissioner Wang doxed community members for their political views. He has disrespected, insulted, and alleged conspiracy theories against core community partners like Cupertino Rotary and the Cupertino Chamber of Commerce. He harassed a City Councilmember in Redwood City and faced the consequences of being prosecuted for two felonies. These actions are unacceptable by anybody in our community, let alone an appointed commissioner. This behavior is not new, yet the 2021 Council reappointed Wang to the commission. Councilmembers Chao and Moore should take responsibility for the mistake of enabling Commissioner Wang to abuse his position of power to harass our community members.

I believe in Cupertino and its future–that’s why I am here speaking for democracy and for ethical leadership. This is not a matter of politics, but a matter of ethics and treating people with respect and dignity. It’s past time for the Council to hold Commissioner Wang accountable.

I hope you have it in your hearts to do the right thing and remove Commissioner Wang.

City Clerk Kirsten Squarcia,
I am writing to request the prompt removal of Planning Commissioner Ray Wang.

I am grateful to see the recent steps that the City has taken to strengthen integrity and good governance at City Hall. These are important reforms, especially given the damage that our reputation took in recent years due to mismanagement. However, these steps are incomplete as long as Mr. Wang remains on the Commission.

While a sitting Planning Commissioner City official, he urged fellow residents to call the employers of pro-housing activists to try to get them fired from their jobs. He has disrespected, insulted, and alleged conspiracy theories against core community partners like Cupertino Rotary and the Cupertino Chamber of Commerce. He harassed a City Councilmember in Redwood City (was a planning commissioner), signing her up for porn. He faced criminal prosecution for this particular conduct, but instead of admitting the truth, he lied that developer interests hacked his computer.

It was gravely disappointing to see the City Council reappoint Mr. Wang to the Commission in 2021, despite being advised of his conduct. Mr. Wang has never apologized to the community members he has harmed, and I do not have any faith that his conduct will improve. It’s past time for the Council to hold him accountable. Please honor the lived experiences of those who have been personally harmed by Mr. Wang and do the right thing. Please honor the intelligence and character of our good residents, who deserve to have genuine trust in their officials.

Thank you for your time and for supporting integrity in Cupertino.

City Clerk Kirsten Squarcia,
I am a Cupertino community member. This community and city mean a lot to me as I went to high school and community college here in Cupertino. I believe we are home to some of the brightest and most compassionate minds in California. Unfortunately, we are still recovering from prior leadership that has greatly damaged our reputation, including the past actions of Planning Commissioner R. Wang. That is why I am here today to voice my strong support for the removal of Planning Commissioner R. Wang.

While a sitting Planning Commissioner City official, he urged fellow residents to call the employers of pro-housing activists to try to get them fired from their jobs. He has disrespected, insulted, and alleged conspiracy theories against core community partners like Cupertino Rotary and the Cupertino Chamber of Commerce. He harassed a City Councilmember in Redwood City (was a planning commissioner), signing her up for porn. Instead of admitting the truth, he lied that developer interests hacked his computer. He also threatened my friend and Sunnyvale City Councilmember, Richard Mehlinger for criticizing R. Wang's poor leadership.

Thank you for your time. It’s time to bring dignity back to Cupertino.

City Clerk Kirsten Squarcia,
Dear Cupertino City Council, City Attorney, City Manager, and City Clerk:

I am writing you to protest the removal of Commissioner Wang.

Removing him is unjust as he has steadfastly championed policies that benefit the community.

He's being targeted by new council members and staff who are seeking to silence public commentary on agenda items at council and commission meetings.

Removing Wang is ad unlawful as when city council and city staff attempted to write into the city code a way to remove former two-time Mayor Steven Scharf and current two-time Chair of the Planning Commission, which was deemed unlawful.

The latest endeavor attempts to remove Wang on trumped up charges of treating staff and consultants poorly, and calling out the staff's sand bagging of requests from the commission.

The attempts to defame him and his reputation are politically motivated. I have worked with Wang and he has been nothing but courteous.

Wang has a long history of defending his community from developers and business interests who seek to take advantage of residents and their rights. I support his work representing the resident's interests.

Wang has been a strong advocate for resident focused causes and keeping the city staff accountable. He is good for Cupertino! We need more council members like him to hold inept people responsible:

Wang continues to question why no action has been taken to create 5G tower architectural standards to protect our neighborhoods.

He also criticized a very inept housing element consultant at EMC who failed to complete the project required and cost the city 100s of thousands of dollars. This is in contrast to the staff again failing to take responsibility for hiring a bad consultant. For his honesty, Wang was told he was not respectful in his critique.

This pattern of city staff behavior has been consistently challenged by Wang and the other proresident focused commissioners and council members.

Your removal of Wang is unjust. Previous city councils have not capriciously dismissed commissioners in this fashion nor should they in the future.

Wang has represented Cupertino well and should continue to serve. Please reconsider your actions to remove Wang from the planning commission.

All Cupertino City Council,
Dear Cupertino City Council, City Attorney, City Manager, and City Clerk Please include my letter as written communication for the 3/7/2023 City Council meeting, Agenda Item 11, RETAIN, do not remove, Planning Commissioner Ray Wang." Stop The Divisiveness And Dirty Politics - Do Not Remove Planning Commissioner Wang Dear Cupertino City Council, City Attorney, City Manager, and City Clerk The removal of Commissioner Wang will make residents feel unsafe to serve on a commission. no stability. This would also send a bad message to the community.

1. The reasons given are childish at best. I mean no offense, but complaining about a post on next-door as a reason for removal was absolutely ludicrous. Ironically the person, accusing him of such was defending freedom of speech. Yet there he was attacking Commissioner Wang for freedom of speech.

2. Other reasons given were berating staff. The only berating that commissioner Wang has come close to was when EMC was not performing and it was obvious that the delay of the housing element was either on purpose or neglect. No one was managing things well enough to get it done. Commissioner Wang was communicating what many people wanted to say. I’m not sure if it’s true but it’s my understanding that some of the delays derived from staff delays? I don’t know if that’s true but I do know that it’s a EMC completely dropped the ball and was submitting less than expected results. It was almost as if someone was trying to make the previous council look bad? All the staff I’ve ever worked with has always been very willing to do their job, so I do not blame the staff per se , if you’re considering commissioners Wang’s response to EMC, then I think he should be complemented for trying to get things done and speaking the truth; probably the only record that states how frustrating and how it was not the fault of the previous council but the consultants EMC.

3. The 20 year old accusation they keep bringing up is disgraceful by anyone bringing it up.

There is a letter from the attorney that will explain and clarify this smear. I will read it during oral communication.

4. The new rule of only speaking for 10 minutes cumulatively is very anti-democratic. If we were a huge city that requires such, I could see that but we are yet only 60,000. It feels like another way current council is shutting down the public.

I see the attack on Commissioner Wang as part of a larger strategy to remove resident-focused Planning commissioners.

I support Commissioner Wang’s hard work and determination to represent the resident's interests.

Wang questioned why staff have taken no action to create 5G tower architectural standards to protect our neighborhoods. The lack of a response from staff has been unacceptable.

Hey Kirsten,
I understand I’ve reached out a few times, but I was hoping you’d be interested in briefly discussing our community engagement solution as it relates to your initiatives.

As the industry leader in Experience Management, the Qualtrics platform takes a citizen-centric approach that helps county officials collect feedback and uncover actionable insights to automatically deliver recommended actions on how to better meet the expectations of California residents in real time all in one place.

We're working closely with state and local governments to:
(1) Gather feedback from residents
(2) Identify where experience gaps exist
(3) Act to make data-driven decisions to build trust and confront inadequacies head on by modernizing aging systems and improving customer service.

Citizens have new and evolved expectations on how they should be engaging with their Governments, and over the last few months we’ve been working with various departments across other public sector institutions to help with the following:

1. Connecting with Citizens, any way that they want - Leverage SMS, Social Media, email and other channels to connect to your citizens on multiple platforms.

2. Deliver Online Services, in any language - Quickly update all of your touch points to incorporate as many as 80 languages. Leverage the AI to translate the comments back into English.

3. Improving Service Delivery - Collecting real time feedback to understand if the services and offerings you provide are benefiting the citizens that rely on you, which allows you to consistently focus on what matters most.

4. Digital Form and Action Transformation - Digitizing paper processes to reduce the amount of time a customer or citizen needs to qualify for a service.

Are you available for a quick 20-minute call any time in the next few weeks? I’d like to understand your mandates and discuss how we can potentially help you be successful in 2023.

If this doesn’t fall under your responsibilities, is there a peer you’d be comfortable to connect me with? Best,
Tatum

City Clerk Kirsten Squarcia,
Honorable Mayor Wei, Vice Mayor Mohan, and Council Members Chao, Fruen, and Moore:

Please include my letter as written communication for the 3/7/2023 City Council meeting, Agenda Item 11, RETAIN, do not remove, Planning Commissioner Ray Wang.

The effort to remove Commissioner Wang from the Planning Commission is misguided and unwise.

The residents see the attack on Commissioner Wang as part of a larger strategy to remove resident-focused planning commissioners and replace them with commissioners who will not question an aggressive growth agenda.

Alarming actions and advocacy by Council Members who seek to replace Commissioner Wang on the Planning Commission include:
- advocating in favor of an unnecessary, expensive new city hall and 500-person theater, while recent real estate acquisitions and renovation would accommodate safety, workspace, and storage needs for one-quarter the cost of new construction. And, 2 theaters are already available for community use located at De Anza College. - Jeopardizing future housing site selections by including an excessively large buffer in the current Housing Element cycle.
-Appeasing developers who seek to circumvent prudent processes.

Consider how the 2016-2018 Council majority and staff allowed the Vallco property test its own site for toxins. The Vallco property owner found no significant levels of toxins. The project was set to move forward until alert residents pressed for further investigation, which revealed significant levels of toxins. Now the County manages the site cleanup and the City is spared a significant public safety liability.

Recently, the Council majority and City staff attempted to write into the city code a way to remove former two-time Mayor and current two-time Chair of the Planning Commission, Steven Scharf. It was after the City Attorney clarified that a provision to prevent a former Council Member from serving on a commission could not be used to remove a sitting commissioner that certain Council Members pivoted to today’s campaign to discredit Commissioner Wang.

The smear campaign provides very poor cover for what appears to be an action to seize control of a Planning Commission seat that was not open for a new appointment in 2023.

The effort to defame Commissioner Wang for political gain is obvious and regrettable.

I support Commissioner Wang’s hard work and determination to represent the resident's interests.

Commissioner Wang and the current planning commissioners Steven Scharf and Muni Madhdhipatla have worked hard for sensible growth:
-Approved the Westport Project, which provides a large contingent of the housing that is mandated by the State of California. The project is sensible because it does not jeopardize future housing elements by adding excessive office space. -Approved the new hotel at Cupertino Village, which provides a plentiful tax revenue stream to Cupertino.
-Approved the Bateh Brothers site for new mixed-use housing. The developer followed appropriate processes and did not insist on overbuilding. -Completed their duty in housing element site selection.

Commissioner Wang questioned why staff have taken no action to create 5G tower architectural standards to protect our neighborhoods.

Commissioner Wang rightfully criticized the unacceptable work product of the Housing Element consultant who cost the City hundreds of thousands of dollars but failed to complete the required project. While staff was apparently reluctant to take responsibility for the unacceptable work product or take steps to correct course—or to even require the consultant to provide a timeline with deliverables and dates—Commissioner Wang was taken to task for speaking the truth as soon as it became clear that the Housing Element consultant’s work effort was not meeting expectations.

We need more residents like Ray Wang who represent the interests of residents. Ray Wang has represented Cupertino well and should continue to serve on the Planning Commission.

The effort to remove Commissioner Wang from the Planning Commission may be politically expedient for today’s Council majority, but it is a reckless and undignified action that carries its own burden of unintended consequences.

Commissioner Wang should remain on the Planning Commission to serve out his term.

Please reconsider the Council’s actions to remove Wang from the Planning Commission.

Sincerely,
Liana Crabtree
Cupertino resident

The attempted removal of Commissioner Wang is unjust and politically motivated by the new, three-member City Council majority that has lost the community's trust and faith.

The new majority have colluded with staff to remove the resident-focused council members from key committees.

The new majority have sought to shut down commissions where their views do not prevail.

The new majority seek to silence public commentary on agenda items at council and commission meetings, which limits are codified in a new process manual.

I support Commissioner Wang’s hard work and determination to represent the resident's interests.

Wang questioned why staff have taken no action to create 5G tower architectural standards to protect our neighborhoods. The lack of a response from staff has been unacceptable.

We need more residents like Wang who represent the interests of residents. We feel Wang has represented us well and should continue to serve as our voice on the Planning Commission.

Commissioner Wang should serve out his term.

Please reconsider the council’s actions to remove Wang from the Planning Commission.

City Clerk Kirsten Squarcia,
I was born and raised in Cupertino and lived here most of my life. This community means a lot to me, and I believe we are home to some of the brightest and most compassionate minds in California. Unfortunately, we are still recovering from prior leadership that has greatly damaged our reputation, including the past actions of Planning Commissioner R. Wang. That is why I am here today to voice my strong support for the removal of Planning Commissioner R. Wang.

While a sitting Planning Commissioner City official, he urged fellow residents to call the employers of pro-housing activists to try to get them fired from their jobs. He has disrespected, insulted, and alleged conspiracy theories against core community partners like Cupertino Rotary and the Cupertino Chamber of Commerce. He sexually harassed a City Councilmember in Redwood City (was a planning commissioner), signing her up for porn. Instead of admitting the truth, he lied that developer interests hacked his computer.

Dear City Council:

The Cupertino City Council Agenda for March 7, 2023 is unprofessional and confusing.

The item (now 11) attempting to remove Mr. Wang from his Planning Commission seat is extremely
unprofessional in every sense of the word. This is bordering on a creating a circus scandal in the City
Council Chambers. This item should be removed from the agenda.

Why is Number 4 on the Consent Calendar again? This item is attempting to dissolve the ERC, the DRC ,
The LRC and the Audit Committee. No one from the public can pull the item to discuss it So why is it back on the Consent Calendar? To just show the public they can't speak on anything
Anymore and every commission t hat we had in the city has been dissolved? Again, why is Item 10 under the Consent Calendar? No one from the public can talk about the Housing Element or the Consultants? So the public spent a great deal of their time and effort Participating in the supposed public meetings from the Housing Elements. We did our time.

We
Did our duty. We sat through through meeting after meeting as dictated by the Housing Element agenda. We apparently wasted our time as we are apparently not going to be allowed To speak on the Housing Element now. This item needs to be pulled to allow the public to Speak or I guess we wasted our entire spring, summer and fall and winter of 2022 attending to The tirades of the RHNA and the never ending rules from HCD over the Housing Element.

The Housing Element apparently tells the public when they get to say anything about what happens
In their city.

Also, why is Item 15 under an Informational item? Doesn't the public get to ask questions on Things pertaining to such things as the Chamber of Commerce or as was listed in the last City Council Agenda under informational The request to increase restaurant space at Main Street? What ever happened to that item?
Please put the City Council Agenda back to the sensible order that it used to have and please Remove the highly embarrassing and unprofessional item (Now Number 11) accusing Mr.

Wang of all manner of outrageous things and trying to remove him from his Planning Commission seat. This item is highly irregular, unorthodox and deeply disturbing to be Appearing in a City Council Agenda. Indeed, it is highly shocking.

Jennifer Griffin

City Manager Pamela Wu,
March 7th
Good evening council, residents of Cupertino, and guests.

It’s heartwarming to see a number of friendly faces, dissenting views, and interested citizens here. Let’s be honest, today’s decision is really the city council’s to make. I do serve at the pleasure of the council. But keep in mind we ultimately serve at the pleasure of our residents and voters. For those in power, when we forget that we work for all of our residents in an inclusive manner, we commit hubris. I fundamentally know we are all better than that.

Before we begin I want to thank the 1000s of supporters who believe in resident rights and community first. More than 200 people sent over a 1000 letters to the city. Our opposition barely sent 91 letters and many of those letters were not from Cupertino residents.

Your support means the world to me and rest assured regardless of the decision we all need to remain vigilant or we will lose the democracy we cherish and the quality of life we worked hard for
We need to put an end to the vindictive politics of JR Fruen and his crowd.

Let’s start there. Mr Fruen’s carefully orchestrated attacks on me and organized defamation through the non- profit he created, Cupertino For All, is a gross violation of the ethics code and handbook he signed. Just because he’s not on the organization’s website, he’s still listed as a director with the Secretory of state. He’s actively working with his group to coordinate attacks and work with the numerous organization’s outside of Cupertino who DO NOT share our resident’s interests in sensible growth. He even sent an email to his supporters with the same talking points. In fact, his small but vocal group have deliberately distorted facts in a thinly veiled attack on democracy and due process in Cupertino and also in other unsuspecting cities. Many of these organizations have a network paid for by developer interests and lobbyists fighting against your best interests Despite his harmful actions, I am more than willing to give the benefit of doubt for the many that are and have been misled by Mr Fruen and his small band of activists. Sometimes you get caught up in the heat of the moment and you forget to do some due diligence.

Sometimes you don’t have time to get all the facts and hear the other side. There is really no need to continue this type of division in the City. We are all better than that.

As you have heard from the countless letters and conversations from 1000s of supporters, the case made before you is false. The allegations made on sexual harassment are not true. A legal opinion of the case shows this despite Ms Foust’s veiled attempt at double jeopardy on a case that was sealed 20 years ago per her agreement, she was not the victim of sexual harassment, she was the victim of a developer interest who hacked my network to sign her up onto porn sites. Their attempt to frame me for standing up injured me personally and financially. But I would stand up for my residents again as I am today.

Re-writing history like this is a form of defamation.

More importantly, the allegations on criticizing staff are justified as the consultant was ultimately let go for poor performance. The questions about our former assistant city managers behavior were proven accurate as she left and has a history of being let go for poorly treating both residents and other staff. You can read about this in the papers and talk to other city staff who worked with her. Our residents also have every right to have the issue of 5g towers on our agendas and they should be heard by from the staff.

If our jobs as a commissioner is not to provide oversight then what is it? Certainly, not rubber stamp bad decisions.

No. Our job as commissioners is to provide oversight, guidance , and input. Sometimes we have to point out when things are upside down or not correct. Otherwise why have commissions?
Some planning commissions in the past have rubber stamped decisions that could have massive health impacts on today’s residents and future residents such as Vallco. Did you know that the land there is contaminated and listed as a Geo Tracker site. The developer cannot build unless they clean up the site, or rewrite legislation in Sacramento to make an exception which they are trying. If that was under our planning commission, we would never have let that happen. In fact, we did do that with a pro-resident and community interest council.

The bottom line - none of the allegations thrown at me have merit and more importantly none of the majority council has made an effort to reach out to me to hear my side.

Let that sink in for a second. NONE.

The mayor, the vice mayor and Fruen never once asked me about these allegations. They never once sought out the truth or to learn about my side of the story. This is their first instance of hearing this side of the story and I hope they take this to heart.

Part of the democratic process is forgiveness, especially when the facts dispel misinformation and lies told at the heat of the moment This is why we have due process and for those experienced council members, one often waits to hear the facts before making a decision, unless motivated by political means.

In my case it should be apparent that the allegations raised by JR and his Cupertino for all non Profit, outside housing activist groups are patently false and politically motivated. They don't’ want any resident focused leaders to emerge and fight back for resident rights. They want you to back down and not fight back. I want you to take this aa a moment in history when we rise up and put an end to this vindictive behavior filled with Sal Lewinsky tactics of vilification, shaming, bullying, and threats for removal. Those actions are not what a democracy should tolerate.

So I ask the council, if you choose to remove me purely on political grinds, at least be transparent to the public that is your intention. Be clear it is purely political. Do not hide under fake charges.

So I appeal to our Chinese heritage Mayor and our South Indian heritage Vice Mayor. Your decision today will have consequences on future councils. Your constituents are watching to see how fairly you treat another member of the API community.

Will commissioners be removed at whim for political purposes or will their removal truly have grounds for merit. Will commissioners have a waning period if they truly do make a mistake?
More importantly, how will your community view your actions today if you eliminate a planning commissioner for political reasons with broad community support, despite the case before you.

I seek your support in keeping my role as a planning commissioner. I hope the public understands that I’ve been wronged and defamed by voices in the community and mainly outside of the community who do not believe in the diversity of thought and who do not seek compromise only political retribution.

I hope in your hearts and minds that you set the right precedent that removal should be based on merit, performance, and real facts with due process, not political theater. We are all better than that.

City Clerk Kirsten Squarcia,
Dear Mayor Chien, Fellow Council and City Staff. As a 42 year+ resident and volunteer community supporter, I strong recommend that you remove Raymond Wang from his position as an Appointed City Planning Commissioner.

All city leaders - both elected and appointed are community role models and should be held to a high standard of behavior and comportment. You know better that I, that Ray Wang would not meet the most minimal standards. Character counts and Mr. Wang is deficient in that dimension.

The city has been left with an incredible deficit of actions and plans to address our lack of affordable housing, and slow response to needed capital improvements. Wang has been instrumental in putting our city in this position. It’s time for some new blood who can clean up the mess left behind by the previous administration.

City Clerk Kirsten Squarcia,
I writing today to voice my strong support for the removal of Planning Commissioner R. Wang.

Instead of admitting the truth, he lied that developer interests hacked his computer.

Commissioner Wang even acts on misinformation to propel his political agenda, instead of listening to legal advice, putting the city at risk of being sued. For example, when the City sought to fix a density bonus ordinance to comply with state law, he compared this to free and fair democratic elections in the Soviet Union.”
The new Council should hold Commissioner Wang accountable.

To complaints from his supporters that this is all "political", I respond they are 100% correct.

Elections have consequences. Mr. Wang was clearly, obviously and painfully originally a "political" appointment by the previous City Council members. He was appointed to carry out their strong anti-housing "agenda" at the Planning Commission. Well, there has been a new election and the new majority is well within their rights replace Mr. Wang with someone who better reflects the ideas and thoughts of the majority of the citizens as reflected in the new City Council majority
Thank you for your time.

City Clerk Kirsten Squarcia,
My name is Andrew Siegler, and I am a Cupertino community member--I attend De Anza College and enjoy the greater Cupertino community.

This community means a lot to me, and I believe we are home to some of the brightest and most compassionate minds in California. Unfortunately, we are still recovering from prior leadership that has greatly damaged our reputation, including the past actions of Planning Commissioner R. Wang. That is why I am here today to voice my strong support for the removal of Planning Commissioner R. Wang.

Instead of admitting the truth, he lied that developer interests hacked his computer.

Thank you for your time. It’s time to bring dignity back to Cupertino.

Here is the statement I read in the meeting. There might be slight variation to the spoken record.

Please enter it into the meeting record.
-------
It is interesting to see that we have many “cupertino community members” outside of Cupertino who sent template letters to us. Many are in San Jose, in Campbell, Los Gatos, Sunnyvale and Oakland and even Los Angeles.

I’d like to speak from my lived experience of someone who has been attacked by many who have spoken here today. Even when I know first hand of the words I said and the context I said it, I have found that often your seemingly convincing claims against me are totally false. This has happened repeatedly here both outside of the Council meeting and here in this Council meeting. Therefore, I am afraid that I cannot trust any one-sided narratives against someone without evidence showing exactly what was said and under what circumstances. Let alone that most of the speakers today asking for the removal of RW did not have any first-hand experience with their claim.

Many of the claims made in the Civil Grand Jury Report on Cupertino are false or inaccurate, as indicated by the city responses. Many were made by someone who totally did not understand how things work in city government, since a simple email to the City could have clarified some issues, but they never wrote to the City. This is why one-sided narratives are not trustworthy.

Now when such one-sided negative narratives are spread by people who seek to gain political power, one must wonder about the accuracy of such narratives. When you have 100 people repeat the same one-sided narrative, it does not make them come true.

Today the handful of people who likely had the first hand narrative today happen to be those who repeatedly mischaracterized my comments in order to attack me. I am afraid that I cannot trust their narrative without hard evidence.

I am asking you to respect the lived experience of someone who has been attacked multiple times by those with political aims. This is why we don’t commit people for a crime, merely one-sided narratives. We have a due process and cross examination before committing someone for a crime. Here we are trying to commit someone in the eyes of public opinion based on one-sided narratives.

The reality is that even if the Council doesn’t like the recommendation made by the Planning Commission. On the Council, you can always not take their recommendation. And I have always requested to see, not only majority, but also minority recommendations, in case there is a split vote, and I have asked to include rationales for the recommendations.

Therefore, there is no need to remove R Wang in reality.

As we have praised the city staff when they have done a good job, R Wang has done the same. But when there is an issue in the performance of the city government, How much truth is in the statements said today? Some of these people have attacked me by twisting my words to manufacture a perception they wish to create.

Mayor Wei, I motioned to support you to be the Mayor because I put my trust in you that you will be collaborative and not be utilized by those with political gains. I trust that you will use common sense and try to mend the community, rather than further divide us.

As you have demonstrated today to allow RW 5 minutes to speak and allow a member’s comment to be read by another member. You are a person who is reasonable.

Every City Council before today has the discretion to remove commissioners. But they did not. They did not.

No newly elected City Councilmembers have attempted to remove commissioners as soon as they got on the Council
Don’t set such a divisive precedent for Cupertino to remove a commissioner based on onesided narratives apparently brought on by those with political aims in mind.

Councilmember Mohan You are another person who has commons sense also.

You are not like them. You are better than them.

I would ask you to reflect. What first-hand evidence you have, which has been verified through cross examination today on everything said today? I hope that you base your action on due process and sound democracy.

Councilmember Moore Comments
RE March 7, 2023 Item 11, Consider the Removal of Planning Commissioner Ray Wang Cupertino City Council recently adopted restrictive policies for the City Council, commissioners, and members of the Public to follow, eliminating council’s ability to speak on the individual Informational Items, and prohibiting Council members to exercise their lawful right to do public records requests. I did not agree with a number of these restrictions, and noted that there was no process in place for any violations by Council members and as we see here today, there is no policy in place for due process regarding any warning, admonition, probation, or removal of our Commissioners.

The City Council has the curious position here of being the Executive, Legislative, and Judicial branches all rolled into one. That is because Commissioners in Cupertino merely serve at the “Pleasure of the Council” and may be removed by a majority of Council for the offense of causing the Council to not be pleased. I have tried to formulate some metric for whether Commissioner Wang’s work has been acceptable, because we have no supportable process.

I could fill a book between the smear blog, the 2016 $7M campaign by the developer, the 2018 ballot initiative disrupters, and the continued hounding.

I was appointed to the Planning Commission at the start of 2019 along with Commissioner Wang. That very first day, when I came into these chambers, I was pulled aside by our Assistant City attorney and advised that I was going to be verbally abused by members of the public and was offered some friendly advice, and sure enough current newly elected Sunnyvale Councilmember Mehlinger came to Oral Communications, brought up a Nextdoor post I had made in 2018, expressed his offense at it and told me I needed to resign on my first day. In 2019, the negative attention appeared to move off of me and onto Commissioner Wang with Sunnyvale Councilmember Mehlinger and other familiar individuals.

Commissioner Wang has been extremely thorough about the agenda packet reviews, does his site visits with diligence, provides thoughtful and interesting comments, and has a global perspective from this extensive worldwide travel, advanced economic and financial information, Public Health education, television appearances, and not only does he do the homework on the agendas, he finds time to author books, do interviews, and host conferences and events. Commissioner Wang’s bio is amazing, and he has an outgoing personality which goes along with it.

I recall Commissioner Wang’s struggle trying to agendize 5G, and it was a frustrating struggle I have also faced trying to get items on the Agenda. I have had multiple struggles with that and having multiple meetings I was chairing be canceled by staff without checking in. Commissioner Wang rightfully complained about the very tardy Housing Element. The City Council has been publicly admonished by members of the public for being exposed to the builder’s remedy because the contractor was not able to complete the Housing Element in time, the City Manager even ended their contract. And tonight, after months have elapsed, we have a new consultant contract on the agenda. Commissioner Wang’s frustration was more than echoed by even his opponents.

Council needs to formulate a policy like Los Gatos’ for Commissioners which would address Censure and removal, they have a commissioner who was recently censured and that has drawn the attention of the ACLU, for example. The policy should be thoughtfully formed. I cannot agree with simply removing Commissioner Wang with the pleasure or not metric, without a process.

Barring a knowable training and removal process, after witnessing how it unfolds here with no process in place, I request that Council agendize a policy process for admonition, probation, censureship, and removal of any commissioners, and also provide some process also for Council, so that we are not relying on subjective views, and have steps in process. I am deeply concerned for all of our Commissioners who volunteer their time, effort, and energy, that we are sending the message that Council is vengeful. In the history of Cupertino, no Planning commissioner has been removed by Council, which is likely why there has not been a discussion regarding policy to do so, and I request that be done now. We should also have some set of limits so we are not having vengeance on old news and retroactively punishing, when we want to grow our Commissioners and Councilmembers and encourage young people and those who find this kind of meeting truly off-putting, to want to join in the community engagement process and feel comfortable participating in civics.

Thank you.

City Clerk Kirsten Squarcia,
Dear Cupertino City Council, City Attorney, City Manager, and City Clerk Please include my letter as written communication for the 3/7/2023 City Council meeting, Agenda Item 11, RETAIN, do not remove, Planning Commissioner Ray Wang." Stop The Divisiveness And Dirty Politics - Do Not Remove Planning Commissioner Wang The attempted removal of Commissioner Wang is unjust and politically motivated by the two newly elected City Council member Sheila Mohan and J.R. Fruen, who was elected by a thin margin of less one percent of votes casted. But under the leadership of Mayor Hung Wei, this 3-person WMF (Wei, Mohan, Fruen) Council Majority has taken swift actions to change longstanding city practices in less than 3 months. They are causing massive levels of mistrust.

Your actions are divisive for Cupertino residents and in total disregard to the few thousand residents who voted for your opponents, We are your constituents too. Will you do everything in your power to gain majority control, not only in the City Council, but also in every commission? Are you this shameless?
The 2023 WMF Council Majority :
-have removed the resident-focused council members from key committees. -have adopted procedures to shut down commissions where their views do not prevail. -have adopted procedures to silence public commentary on agenda items at council and - commission meetings in the "name of efficient meetings" You have lost the community's trust and faith by breaking your campaign promises to be collaborative and be inclusive and to bring the community together. Instead, every action you have taken so far seems to show that you are unwilling to compromise and work with the other side, which still represents almost 50% of Cupertino residents.

I urge you to do due diligence to investigate any allegations made against a city official so that your one-sided perception, often taken out of context, and often politically motivated won’t become the grounds for your decision to remove a beloved Planning Commissioner.

I urge you to give any city official a warning with findings and recommendations based on solid evidence before you take any formal action for removing anyone from their appointed position.

This is the basic decency that Cupertino voters expected of you, yet you were so eager to agendize this item without a proper inquiry.

As the City Attorney has confirmed that in the “A House Divided” report, the Civil Grand Jury’s accusation of a Council member’s action to direct staff was mistaken. Many of the other claims made in the Civil Grand Jury’s report about the City of Cupertino were false too since they rely on one-sided interviews without any cross examination. The Civil Grand Jury is limited in what they could do, but Cupertino City Council has the ability to conduct an investigation. Why have you not done so?
The City of Los Gatos has formed a subcommittee to investigate an accusation on their Planning Commissioner, even when the accusation is based on an email with written evidence.

Eventually the Los Gatos City Council decided to censure the Commissioner.

The accusations you have received on Planning Commissioner R. Wang have been anecdotal and made by people with clear political motives (follow the money and the donations in the last election). We have the campaign disclosure forms.

Wouldn’t it be much more necessary for Cupertino to form a subcommittee with balanced members to investigate the accusations made before the Council take any formal action? Anything less would appear to demonstrate that the WMF Cupertino City Council is politically motivated to remove a commissioner for political gain and that the Cupertino City Council does not care about the truth nor cares about hurting the reputation of one of their own citizens based on potentially false accusations by a vindictive council member in Sunnyvale and one in Cupertino?
Mayor Wei, can we put our renewed trust in you to do the right thing and not remove a Planning Commissioner without an investigation to establish evidence? Vice Mayor Mohan and council member Fruen, can we put our trust in you that you will serve ALL Cupertino residents whether they support your political views or not? Can we trust all of you to do the diligence before taking drastic actions, in response to those who are politically motivated to remove their opponents? Here are all the contributions of Commissioner Wang, which you should take into consideration before taking any action:
+ Continued perseverance, hard work and determination to represent the resident's interests. + Wang and the current planning commissioners Steven Scharf and Muni Madhdhipatla have worked hard for sensible growth:
- Approved the Westport Project, which provides a large contingent of the housing that is mandated by the State of California. The project is sensible because it does not jeopardize future housing elements by adding excessive office space. - Approved the new hotel at Cupertino Village, which provides a plentiful tax revenue stream to Cupertino.
- Approved the Bateh Brothers site for new mixed-use housing. The developer followed appropriate processes and did not insist on overbuilding. - Completed their duty in housing element site selection. + Commissioner Wang has a long history of defending his community from developers and business interests who seek to take advantage of residents and their rights. Wang has been a strong advocate for resident-focused causes and keeping the city staff accountable. + Wang questioned why staff have taken no action to create 5G tower architectural standards to protect our neighborhoods. The community has been frustrated with the lack of action by the city.
+ Wang asks tough questions that both the residents and the decision makers need in order to have sufficient information. Wang pushes to get more information and to speed up the site selection for Housing Element, while providing ample time for the residents to comment. + His care for public concerns are well appreciated by many who spend time attending these meetings.
+ We need officials like Wang who keep the consultants and staff accountable in order to provide excellent services to the city residents.
+ We need more residents like Wang who represent the interests of residents. We feel Wang has represented us well and should continue to serve as our voice on the Planning Commission.

Commissioner Wang should serve out his term and continue his oversight of the cities planning activities.

Please reconsider the council’s actions to remove Wang from the Planning Commission.

Do not remove him!

City Clerk Kirsten Squarcia,
March 7th
Good evening council, residents of Cupertino, and guests.

Many of these organizations have a network paid for by developer interests and lobbyists fighting against your best interests
Despite his harmful actions, I am more than willing to give the benefit of doubt for the many that are and have been misled by Mr Fruen and his small band of activists. Sometimes you get caught up in the heat of the moment and you forget to do some due diligence. Sometimes you don’t have time to get all the facts and hear the other side. There is really no need to continue this type of division in the City. We are all better than that.

If our jobs as a commissioner is not to provide oversight then what is it? Certainly, not rubber stamp bad decisions.

The bottom line - none of the allegations thrown at me have merit and more importantly none of the majority council has made an effort to reach out to me to hear my side.

Let that sink in for a second. NONE.

Will commissioners be removed at whim for political purposes or will their removal truly have grounds for merit. Will commissioners have a waning period if they truly do make a mistake? More importantly, how will your community view your actions today if you eliminate a planning commissioner for political reasons with broad community support, despite the case before you.

This is the basic decency that Cupertino voters expected of you, yet you were so eager to agendize this item without a proper inquiry.

Eventually the Los Gatos City Council decided to censure the Commissioner.

Commissioner Wang should serve out his term and continue his oversight of the cities planning activities.

Please reconsider the council’s actions to remove Wang from the Planning Commission.

Do not remove him!

I support Commissioner Wang and his efforts to faithfully and accurately represent the interests of Cupertino citizens. I urge the City Council to retain him in his current position and seek out others like him who will also put the interests of city residents ahead of external operators who are working to limit the power of our citizenry to govern ourselves.

The people of Cupertino are paying attention. Take notice and uphold your duty to represent your fellow city residents and empower them to create the future they desire, rather than limiting their participation in it.

FY 2023-24 CIP Five-year
Plan
Response to
Councilmember Questions
Desk Item
1 3/07/2023 City Council Meeting Item #12 Fiscal Year 2023‐24 five‐year plan for Capital Improvement Program (CIP).

Staff’s responses to questions received from councilmember are shown in italics.

Q1: " Remind me again. For the estimate of the new city hall, how was the $79M estimate derived? (Chao)
Staff response: 80000sf x $900/sf = $72M, plus 5% escalation for each year in the future, for approximately $79M: As mentioned in the discussion on the City Hall item during the Council meeting, staff does not have sufficient time to prepare cost estimates or any feasibility studies presently, to address Council’s request to consider a new City Hall building. We’re using the $72M as a placeholder only. As part of the CIP proposal we’re requesting $1,000,000 in FY23‐24 to hire consultants to review/develop programming, cost estimates, site options, etc. We will return to Council when we’ve made progress and can report more effectively.

Q2: And that cost does not include the community outreach to come up with options, plus the design cost, right? Plus project management? (Chao)
Staff response: The cost is vague and undefined, but ultimately we will need the cost estimate to be all‐ inclusive.

Q3: Plus the cost of an interim City Hall? (Chao)
Staff response: There’s a separate project in the CIP for this (called Interim City Hall, funded for $500,000).

Q4: Could you please send me the staffing analysis Councilmember Moore mentioned, which was shared with the subcommittee. (Chao)
Staff response: On the City Hall project page, “other information” tab, “10‐13‐2022 CH subcomm 04 parking planning” Page 39 of 40.
2 Q5: I think I got confused. Let me try to clarify. What's the square footage for the new city hall option on the Nov 2022 agenda? What's the estimated cost? (Chao)
Staff Response: $868/sq. ft. $27.5M. Please see attached “cost…” pdf.

Q6: What's the square footage for the new city hall option in the proposed 2022 CIP plan, which we didn't approve? (Chao)
Staff Response: The design intent was to add a story to the existing footprint. Since the existing footprint is approximately 12,000sq.ft. the total would be approximately 36,000sq.ft.

Q7: The current city hall space is 2500 sqft total, but it includes the EOC, and other equipment space.

What's the total space for office use then? (Chao)
Staff Response: The current city hall space that includes the mechanical space is 24,140 sq. ft. That is the figure that has been used for permitting in years past. The amount of interior space excluding the mechanical space is approximately 21,450 sq. ft. Please refer to the attached “workspace…” pdf.

Q8: What's the total sqft of the City Hall Annex? The lot size? (The meeting date where I can look it up?) (Chao)
Staff Response: We most recently presented information on the City Hall Annex project at the 10/18/22 meeting, where we were seeking to award some contracts. The square footage of the building has been reported at 5700 sq.ft., but that includes the use of a second story. The footprint of the building is 5000 sq.ft., and the site is 21,350 sq.ft.

Q9: What's the total sqft of the Library expansion? What's the occupancy? What's the cost of design and the cost of construction? (The meeting date where I can look it up later?) (Chao) Staff Response: The library expansion area is 5600 sq.ft. The occupancy is type A‐3, which is Assembly.  The cost of construction: $6.3M total, $1,123/sq.ft.
 The cost of design: Rodan (Design Build Entity) + EHDD (Bridging Architect) = $1.05M total, $188/SF
There were other costs associated with the project, such as construction management.

We’ve discussed the cost at meetings, probably the City Hall items, but I can’t point to a specific meeting.

Q10: Does the $79M estimate for 80,000 sqft new city hall includes the design cost, which I know would be $4‐5M? (Chao)
Staff Response: Yes

Q11: Some residents have requested for the Platinum standard building like the new Sunnyvale City Hall.

What's the cost to upgrade to the same standard as Sunnyvale? (Chao) Staff Response: For all our building projects, we use the USGBC (US Green Building Council) rating system of LEED as a baseline, requiring the consultants to review the project against the LEED checklist and confirm that we could achieve LEED accreditation if we had chosen to participate in the USGBC system. I haven’t checked the current costs, but it was true 10 years ago that it costs at least $30K to register the project in the LEED system and more money to hire a consultant to process the paperwork. For the Library and City Hall Annex projects, participation in the LEED rating system was not pursued.

Q12: Does the $79M estimate includes parking structure? How many parking spaces and the estimated cost per space? (Chao)
3 Staff Response: According to the Nov 2022 cost table (attached) the cost per square foot to use for a new 36,000sf building, essential facility, with underground parking was $582/sq.ft. $582 x 80,000 = $46,560,000.

The cost per square foot goes down because the cost/sq.ft. of the underground parking is substantially less than the building above it.

Councilmember Chao, the $79M is the worst case scenario. The only substance behind that number is that we used the $900 (rounded from $908)/sq.ft. figure from the 11/2022 table of cost estimates as a placeholder for the City Hall project based on the 80,00 SF concept that was mentioned by council. As we mentioned to Council in the 2/21/23 meeting, given the short time between Council’s direction on the project on 2/21 and the date of the first CIP presentation, the only option was to insert a placeholder cost for the overall project, at this time. Staff will update Council as that information develops.

Q13: The motion by the council majority also includes the 500‐person event space, will you add it as a separate future project? (Chao)
Staff Response: The action, as recorded by the clerk: “That staff, instead, return to Council with options for a new city hall and civic center up to approximately 80,000 square feet including flexible events programming space(s) suitable for events hosting up to 500 people and based primarily upon options previously provided with the City Council at its meeting on November 15, 2022, with alternatives for such flexible events programming space at other city‐owned locations, to be considered as part of the City Council’s March 7 consideration of the Capital Improvement Program.”

Q14: What is the staff head at City Hall in 2012? That's the year the study started the outreach for a new civic center plan, I think. I suppose they have analyzed the staffing needs then to determine the size for the new city hall? (If you can point me to a council meeting date with such info, that's great.) (Chao) Staff Response: You can find all these links on the Civic Center Master Plan page, which can also be found on the City Hall project page.
 The Civic Center Master Plan Framework from 2012 includes a report from Fehr & Peers (traffic analysis, on page 48 of the overall report) that states: “The Cupertino Civic Center is home to the Cupertino City Hall, Community Hall, Public Library, and Library Field,... The shared parking lot provides parking for all of the Civic Center’s employees, visitors, and city vehicles. The three uses employ a total of approximately 107 employees.” That is total for all three buildings.
 The 2015 CCMP appendix (page 132) states that there were 92 employees at City Hall in May 2014.
 In 2022, the city hall staff was 130, when CIP looked at the data. The FY23 budget book stated there were 121 in city hall.
 SCCLD said they have 35‐40 staff in the library every day.

You may find the Building Condition Assessment report from 2018 on City Hall to be helpful, but I do not see where it lists the number of employees. On page 39, the section on “Space Programming” begins. (The link can be found on City Hall Project page, under “other information” tab.) https://www.cupertino.org/home/showpublisheddocument/31669/637959160551930000

Q15: How many city staff the City Hall Annex is expected to house? (Chao) 4 Staff Response: The Annex can hold a maximum of 33 people. We are still working on the floor plans, so that number may decrease.

Q16: This article (“Sunnyvale gets sleek new City Hall” in the San Jose Spotlight) states "The four‐story, 120,000‐square‐foot building is expected to produce enough clean energy to power itself... on the 26‐ acre civic center property...The first phase, which city officials said will cost roughly $315 million" That's $2,625/sqft. For us, we also need to include parking. Sunnyvale likely doesn't need extra parking since their city hall sits on 26‐acre city center, which has plenty space for parking. Is the $900/sqft estimate realistic? Could you please let me know how this estimate came from? (Chao) Staff Response: Our cost per square foot numbers are based on industry standards, and were originally generated by professional cost management consultants. How can one logically reconcile the difference between a $900/sq.ft. cost versus a $2625/sq.ft.? We’d have to know much more about what is included in the Sunnyvale Civic Center. I do know that the article references a “four‐story, 120,000‐square‐foot building” and later the article states “The new Sunnyvale City Hall, which is pending LEED Platinum certification, is the focal point of the first phase of a planned massive civic center upgrade… which city officials said will cost roughly $315 million, is partially complete and also includes a new 15,000 square‐ foot, two‐story addition to the current public safety headquarters building, which was finished last fall.

That new building has a dedicated emergency operations center, as well as more space for a detectives bureau. About 17,000 square feet of the existing 35‐year‐old public safety headquarters is being renovated as well, with updated crime lab space, locker rooms and evidence storage.” What we know to be true: that $315M cost includes at least three different buildings [mentioned in the article].

Q17: The proposal for the 36,000 sqft City Hall in May 2022 and 3‐story parking was $75M, I think. The cost is $2,083/sqft. How come the cost per square foot is dropped from $2,083 to $900? (Chao) Staff Response: According to the Nov 2022 cost table, the cost per square foot to use for a new 36,000sf building, essential facility, with underground parking was $582/sq.ft.

The cost per square foot goes down because the cost/sq.ft. of the underground parking is substantially less than the building above it.

Q18: Since this is for next year's budget, is this just a 'heads-up' to Council? (Mohan) Staff Response: The Capital Improvement Program (CIP) is being presented to City Council for review of the proposed five-year plan, including the FY23-24 proposed projects. Staff will collect input, will work to make the appropriate adjustments to the plan, and will return to City Council for final acceptance of the CIP on April 4. Funding for the final CIP will be included in the City’s FY23-24 budget requests anticipated to occur in June.

Dear City Council and City Manager,
During the Feb. 21, 2023 City Manager Wu insisted that these reports would adhere to the requirements specified in Resolution 5939, Section D Number 3. City Manager Wu said that because of interest in the Treasurer’s Reports that Staff would be bringing them to Council.

Below is a summary of City Council Resolution 5939:

These reports continue to be late!
It’s March and Staff is presenting January’s Treasurer’s Reports. They are late.

Dear City Council,
The Informational Memorandum for this item does not seem to meet the future agenda item requested by Councilmembers Chao and Moore for several reasons:

1. “Review past partnership and support…”
a. There is NO data to review this past partnership/support. b. Councilmembers are NOT ALLOWED to comment at all regarding this item so review is impossible.
c. The attachments from the June 21, 2022 agenda item 19 which are relevant to a review are not included.

2. “…discuss options for future…”
a. Again, Councilmembers are NOT ALLOWED to comment AT ALL on this item! b. The Public is forced to comment as part of their possible Oral Communications hours before the item occurs, not during the item itself.

I have attached the material from the June 21, 2022, Agenda Item #19 pertaining to the City’s payments/waivers for Cupertino Chamber of Commerce.

REQUEST: Reschedule this item as a discussion item.

Not allowing any discussion of this item but coming back with an agreement is not what was requested! Not to mention that the Council now just blows off Informational Items all together so they aren’t even presented or continued. They just disappear.

Sincerely,
Peggy Griffin
