Mayor Gillmor, we are tired of hearing you complain about how late you have to work for the city and it's residents. It's no wonder why city workers were gonna strike at your house, because you know not of work ethic and how long and late of hours city workers put in... And you can't even manage one late night a week? If you don't like your job: get up out of your chair, get in your car, and go home. The council will function better without the snob attitude anyways.

I'd like to see the off leash dog area moved out of south east corner of the park which abuts the linear park slated for phase 2. With that small tweak I would fully support the updated park design. The park is an improvement to what was originally proposed and example of how taking community feedback for our parks improves the outcome for the community.

There are two Phases of this development but the park focuses on the Phase 1 retail locations and the "Someday Hotel". This park needs to create a "True Gateway", at the corner of Chastain Pl. and Wondo Wy. The focus should be how to create a park that "draws" people into the development to explore, socialize, and spend their dollars in Santa Clara before going to a soccer game or work in San Jose. Slide the dog park over to the planting area to allow the main corner to become the "Gateway".

Synthetic turf should not be put in any park, even for dogs. Besides high carbon footprint in plastic manufacturing, https://bit.ly/3na1QPH, temperatures above synthetic turf are 40-120°F above that of vegetation or even asphalt (https://bit.ly/3Nmd8LL - see "surface temperature"). When it's 90°F outside, it can be 130-210°F above plastic grass. Also see this New Y ork Times piece, https://nyti.ms/39IhoY3 stating "... there are serious environmental problems ... and the costs ... proved so high."

I am the current chair of the Santa Clara Board of Library Trustees. The board met, and unanimously approved the changes to the library fee schedule as attached.
Note there is a typo in the document stating the date of last time the fee changed as 06/11/2013, I assume this should read 06/21/2022 as the date is being updated from 2014.

Though likely that the interim city attorney will, as previously, say that the city should not take Doyle's petition, Brian Doyle's query and request make sense. After all, as stated by Raj Chalal in defense of his free ticket, hasn't every ticket card holder at every game observed "Public safety team, Fire Safety team,Traffic management team, Public safety/jails team, Food distribution operations, Ground operations, Other misc. operations teams"? Why shouldn't everyone receive free tickets?
