Here’s what it should have said: Hello City Clerk, Please include the following in written communications for the 11/18/25 City Council meeting. Hello Mayor Liang Chao, Vice-Mayor Kitty Moore, Cupertino Council Members, City Manager Tina Kapoor, I request that agenda item 16 be pulled from the consent calendar so there is explicit council discussion with public comments for it. I have read the supplemental report. It says the City used exemptions to bypass normal procedures to call the parcel surplus or exempt surplus. This was not noticed to the public. This was not put on any council agenda. No proper information on this was given to the public or Council. No Council vote was taken explicitly to approve the use of this exemption so as to be skipping public engagement and written findings to deem this as surplus. This may be a violation of the Brown Act. Under California Government Code § 54221 (2024), land cannot be declared surplus or exempt surplus without proper public meetings and written findings. Please provide these documents. In April 2025, the City approved this parcel for the SB-35 Mary Ave Villas project. Its use is already assigned. It is not surplus land. Public notice, hearings, and community input are required before vacating land or using exemptions to bypass normal procedures to declare it surplus or exempt surplus. Please follow state laws and brown act. All actions must be noticed as directed by a vote of council especially something such as deeming land surplus. Thank you, Rachel Rose US Citizen and registered voter Glenbrook Apartment resident since 2019 Against further development of Mary Ave On Tue, Nov 18, 2025 at 1:36 PM Rachel Rose <rachelrosemd@gmail.com> wrote: Hello City Clerk, Please include the following in written communications for the 11/18/25 City Council meeting.
