A Message from the City Manager
Hello Neighbors,
As we gallop into the Year of the Horse, I’m celebrating by putting my beginner Mandarin to use: 新年快樂 ! (My pronunciation is improving, I promise.) I wish each of you a prosperous year filled with good luck and success.
I hope everyone had a chance to enjoy the Big Game this past Sunday, whether gathering with family and friends, attending a local watch party, taking advantage of dining deals at Cupertino restaurants, or exploring public art featured on the Explore Cupertino map. If you missed out, many specials continue through February 16; see details below. Cupertino was proud to be part of the excitement as this major event came to the Bay Area.
In this newsletter, you’ll learn how the City is bringing unlicensed and expired businesses into compliance, expanding affordable housing including the first development of its kind for residents with disabilities at Mary Ave, and how Cupertino has joined with other West Valley cities to negotiate a fair policing contract with the County Sheriff’s Office.
We’re also sharing updates on the City’s progress toward digital accessibility compliance, upcoming community events, and ways to strengthen emergency preparedness.

Warm Regards,
Tina Kapoor, City Manager
