Do not click links or open attachments unless you recognize the sender and know the content is safe. Mayor, VM, Councilmembers The subject of 'Action Items' #11 should never have been on this agenda as a PUBLIC HEARING. I feel this way about numerous subjects that don't make it to the Public Hearing category.... A public discussion WITH free comments and discussions by our elected must take place when the subject is about removing opportunity and rights that we have had for so very long. Governance. Please examine what that really means to you. Please remember who 'put you on the dais', and that your residents are listed on the top of the organizational chart. Instead of blocking access to critical decision making, you should be increasing opportunities. So many meetings have been cancelled in the last year ! The ones that we actually have, need to be as public as possible. Lisa Warren PUBLIC HEARINGS - None Effective January 1, 2023, Government Code Section 65103.5 (SB 1214) limits the distribution of copyrighted material associated with the review of development projects. Members of the public wishing to view plans that cannot otherwise be distributed under SB 1214 may make an appointment with the Planning Division to view them at City Hall by sending an email to planning@cupertino.org. Plans will also be made available digitally during the hearing to consider the proposal. ACTION CALENDAR 11.
