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.
Sincerely,
Jennifer Griffin
