Meeting: September 1, 2026
Reporting Councilmember: Councilmember Sheila Mohan
Report Dates: 7/14/26 to 8/24/26
Item Date, Title, and Description:
7/16/26 Participated in a TEAMS meeting conducted by Staff – to review agenda items for the July 21 Council meeting. These included a discussion of the survey results on the tax measures being considered at that time by Council, the continuation of the tax-sharing agreement with Insight Software Solutions, and approval of the final map of The Rise development.
7/19/26 Attended A Taste of Cupertino, an art and wine festival held at Main Street. This was the first time that the Chamber of Commerce hosted this event. Despite the conflicting date with the World Cup Soccer finals, there was a good crowd of families and children enjoying the festive atmosphere. Kudos to the Chamber for organizing this.
7/26/26 Attended the Shakespeare in the Park performance of Antony and Cleopatra.
This was exceptionally well done, and the setting of Memorial Park with the late evening sun was quite spectacular. The crowd appeared to enjoy the play with its themes of conflict between duty and personal relationships and their impact on political events.
8/13/26 Along with Mayor Moore, Vice Mayor Chao and Councilmember Fruen, I attended the India Independence Day Flag Raising ceremony at the Civic Center Plaza. A well-attended event, with beautiful dance performances and even a flash mob and graced by many bay area officials, including the Deputy Consul General of India. This was his last assignment in America – he returns to India next month. The entire event, other than the flag raising, was held indoors much to everyone’s relief. The outside temperature exceeded 85 degrees.
