2 Event 7. June 4, 2026 – Groundbreaking Ceremony for 20840 Stevens Creek Boulevard – Together with Mayor Moore and members of the Planning Commission, I participated in the groundbreaking ceremony for a new townhome development replacing the long-empty Fontana’s and Pizza Hut restaurant sites and the recently closed Staples location on Stevens Creek Boulevard. The project will provide homes for 59 families. Project details are available on the city’s website here.
Event 8. June 4, 2026 – Santa Clara County Library District JPA Board Meeting – I attended this meeting in my capacity as Cupertino’s representative to the SCCLD. The Board adopted its budget for the upcoming fiscal year. The SCCLD boasts very healthy reserves, including $26 million in undesignated funds. Even after accounting for a potential ERAF payment to the County of $16 million, the SCCLD will still have at least $10 million in undesignated reserves, nearly a million of which will be apportioned to the Cupertino Library as part of a decade-old harmonization agreement accounting for the Cupertino Library’s extraordinarily high utilization rate. Meeting materials are available here.

June 6, 2026 – Cupertino Little League Closing Ceremony – Together with Mayor Moore, Councilmember Mohan, and Assemblymember Ahrens, I joined the Cupertino Little League for their season-closing awards and recognition ceremony. It was a bright and cheery day with much for the League to celebrate.
