Dear City Council:
1. If Cupertino is trying to deal with Budget problems, please consider asking HCD and
The state to reimburse Cupertino for the millions of dollars it has spent trying to get
HCD to certify its Housing Element. Is this money coming from the General Fund?
2. Please have Cupertino ask the state for reconsideration of the Apple Tax Revenue.
It looks like the state is picking on Cupertino and Apple for some reason. I think it is
Because the state has tried to make Cupertino a target for some reason and the state is
Also picking on Apple.
3. Please do not stop maintaining the sidewalks. This is not a good plan. Many years ago it
Was proposed The City stop maintaining the sidewalks to pay for the library to stay open.
When the city stops maintaining its sidewalks there goes the city. The City will stop
Paving its roads and the city will go downhill.
4. Please start having more study sessions if the city is going to do things like stop
Paving its roads and taking care of its sidewalks. The public needs to know what is
Happening.
5. Consider breaking up long marathon City Council meetings like the one
Will be into two meetings. It is more efficient moneywise. All the Planning Commission
Meetings are cancelled most of the time as well as other City Council meetings
So all the city business is lumped into one marathon City Council meeting.
6. Please consider bringing back the Design Review Committee and the Environmental
Review
Committee because it seems like the state is going to persecute Cupertino further with
Hundreds of Builders Remedy projects. HCD said Cupertino had to get rid of these two
committees
And now we know why. Builders Remedy does not care about Environmental Review or
Architectural Design. People will take advantage of Cupertino and try to circumvent good
Building design and environmental concerns.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
Jennifer Griffin
