Hello Mayor Chao, Council Members, ICM Kapoor, Director Sander, Attorney
Andrews,
Transient RV population are now setting shop at the Cupertino Senior Center.
They buy an annual pass for $25 or $30 and then park there all day and camp
inside for coffee, restroom and all other perks.
I urge parks and rec and city staff to tighten Senior Center eligibility criteria to
require address proof of permanent residency so that transient RV dwellers are not
able to get a senior center membership and turn this crown jewel city facility into
a quasi-transient shelter.
While this is still early stage it’s definitely a trend that’s started and once they see
the first few others will follow.
Please act now / today to tighten the oversize vehicle parking and the senior
center and sports center eligibility to park and use to permanent dwellers and not
expand to transient population.
Please go further to revoke existing assigned Senior Center pass/memberships to
any transient RV population.
Thanks,
San Rao (writing on behalf of myself only as a Cupertino resident)
