Do not click links or open attachments unless you recognize the sender and know the content is safe. Dear City Manager, On the December 2, 2025 Agenda (last attachment), an ACTION was listed under a STUDY SESSION ITEM #12. Agenda items with ACTIONS should be on the ACTION CALENDAR, not STUDY SESSIONS. Please ensure that ACTIONS are not taken at STUDY SESSIONS in the future. A similar error was made in January 2023 and you can see below an email that I wrote to the City about this along with a number of attachments illustrating that ACTIONS had NEVER been taken at prior STUDY SESSIONS. Furthermore, I googled, “city government can actions be taken at study sessions” and got the following response (I’ll leave it to the experts to study the issue in greater depth): No, generally, city governments cannot take formal action (like voting or passing ordinances) at study sessions; these are for in-depth discussion, information gathering, and providing staff direction, with official votes reserved for regular meetings, though some "direction" can be given to staff to prepare items for a formal vote later. The key is that study sessions are for deliberation, not decision-making, and must still follow open meeting laws (like the Brown Act in California) by being public, noticed, and having agendas, ensuring transparency even without votes. I don’t know whether it is allowed to have an action on a study session (it doesn’t look like it), but it just isn’t good practice. Please also consider that an action tied to a Study Session could alter the nature of the discourse during the Study Session as it risks shifting discussion toward the specified action. Moving forward, please let’s keep STUDY SESSIONS action-free. Thanks Much! : ) Rhoda Fry From: Rhoda Fry <fryhouse@earthlink.net> Sent: Tuesday, January 24, 2023 4:27 PM To: 'City Clerk' <CityClerk@cupertino.org>; 'citycouncil@cupertino.org' <citycouncil@cupertino.org>; 'manager@cupertino.org' <manager@cupertino.org>; 'cityattorney@cupertino.org' <cityattorney@cupertino.org> Subject: For Item #1 and #2 Study Session January 25 Final Actions are not made at Study Sessions Hi City Clerk, Just to clarify, please include this for public comment on Item #1 and #2 Study Session January 25 Final Actions are not made at Study Session Thanks Much, Rhoda Fry From: Rhoda Fry [mailto:fryhouse@earthlink.net] Sent: Sunday, January 22, 2023 5:41 PM To: 'City Clerk' <CityClerk@cupertino.org>; 'citycouncil@cupertino.org' <citycouncil@cupertino.org>; 'manager@cupertino.org' <manager@cupertino.org>; 'cityattorney@cupertino.org' <cityattorney@cupertino.org> Subject: Final Actions are not made at Study Sessions Dear City Manager and City Council, Final Actions are not made at Study Sessions. Items are studied at Study Sessions, discussed at subsequent Regular Sessions, and subsequently decided. This has been the case as far as I can remember in my 40 years as a Cupertino resident. Attached you will find the facts to back up this assertion going back 9 years of Study Sessions (this was the maximum I was able to extract from the database). In 9 years, Final Actions have never taken place on the same day as Study Session Items. To continue transparency and public participation, at the next City Council meeting and moving forward, please 1. Do not take Final Action (vote on resolution) on Study Session items 2. Discuss the outcome of a Study Session and open public comment at a subsequent City Council meeting and then take action Respectfully, Rhoda Fry Tuesday, December 2, 2025 6:00 PM CITY OF CUPERTINO Televised Special Meeting (6:00) and Televised Regular City Council Meeting (6:45) 10350 Torre Avenue, Council Chamber and via Teleconference; and Teleconference Location Pursuant to Gov.

Do not click links or open attachments unless you recognize the sender and know the content is safe. Dear City Council: (Please include the following as public input for the Cupertino City Council meeting on Dec. 16, 2025). I am shocked to learn that the two SB 330 projects at 20085 Plus and 20045 Plus Stevens Creek Blvd. used AB 130 to circumvent any CEQA review of the two town house projects. Because of the use of AB 130 neither of these projects have been reviewed for CEQA. That means there Has been No Traffic review at all of these two projects. This is totally ridiculous. We cannot ignore the traffic problems these SB 330 projects are imposing on Stevens Creek Blvd. Therefore it is even more imperative to have a moratorium on anymore SB 330 projects on Stevens Creek Blvd. It is even more critical since it has been revealed these two projects have had no CEQA review. We have some extremely difficult challenges ahead because of unwise housing bills passed by certain politicians (SB 330) and dangerous Anti CEQA bills like AB 130 which our own governor passed so Strangely and oddly with no public input in June and July 2025. These two bills are making life along Stevens Creek Blvd. very dangerous and unsafe by allowing so Many SB 330s to propagate on Stevens Creek Blvd., especially when there has been no CEQA Review for traffic and schools etc. Please make a moratorium on SB 330s on Stevens Creek Blvd. until the city and the public can see Adequate analysis of the issues with all of these SB 330 projects. Thank you.

City clerk please put in public records for city council meeting Dec 16th. ----- Forwarded Message ----- From: Pam Hershey <pamelakhershey@aol.com> To: planningcommission@cupertino.gov <planningcommission@cupertino.gov> Sent: Tuesday, December 9, 2025, 04:01:21 PM PST Subject: Agenda 2 and 3 Dear Planning Commission Chair and Commissioners Council Members A moratorium on SB 330 projects should be called on Stevens Creek Blvd. because the impacts all the projects will have on main road Stevens Creek Blvd at the same time. Was there a traffic or school studies done on the Town House Projects on Agenda Item #2 and #3? 10045 Stevens Creek and 10085 Stevens Creek How many students will be attending the already impacted schools near these two projects? My neighbor has to drive their daughter to Eaton School as Collins does not have any room for her. This will cause more traffic along SCB as the parents will be driving their children to a school that can accommodate them. Please consider the consequences of the two proposed projects With he impact of the neighbors that live within half of a mile from many building projects at this time.

Dear City Council: (Please include the following as public input for the Cupertino City Council meeting on Dec. 16, 2025.) There are an every expanding proliferation of SB 330 Housing Projects on a one mile section of Stevens Creek Blvd. in the Historic Cross Roads Shopping Area of Stevens Creek Blvd. It has escalated to five large housing projects. SB 330 does not take into account the implications Of large amounts of its successive projects, especially in one area. This type of future disaster is teetering on the brink in Cupertino in this one busy section Of Stevens Creek Blvd. There are so many housing projects planned along this corridor that the City must think very carefully about the implications to traffic movement on Stevens Creek Blvd. as a whole. We could potentially be shutting down all movement on this section of roadway. It is becoming apparent that there needs to be some sort of moratorium on any more SB 330 Projects on Stevens Creek Blvd. in Cupertino until adequate traffic studies can be performed to Study this situation. The city cannot afford to adversely affect traffic flow on Stevens Creek Blvd Any more than it already is. SB 330 is a bill that tries to expedite housing construction, but it has potentially been causing a disaster when it allows too many housing projects to be streamlined in one area. The city needs to be able to adequately study the ramifications of so many housing projects at one time on one heavily utilized section of roadway in the city. A moratorium on SB 330 projects should be called until the Stevens Creek Blvd. roadway impacts from these SB 330 projects can be studied and the city can decide the best course of action for everyone Involved. The city should have town halls and study sessions on the traffic impacts from so many SB 330 projects On Stevens Creek Blvd. in the near future to help mitigate and analyze and remedy the ever-expanding situation. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Dear Mayor Chao, Vice Mayor Moore, Councilmembers and City Manager Kapoor, I have two requests: REQUEST #1 - Dec. 16, 2025 Regular Council Meeting Do not cancel this meeting. Hold it and make committee assignments. Currently, there is a regular Council meeting scheduled for Tuesday, December 16, 2025. I encourage you to please hold this meeting - do not cancel it. Last year the Council held the meeting and completed the yearly committee assignments so that the Councilmembers could start their new assignments immediately. It seemed to work well and was one less thing appearing on the agenda in January. Please consider making the committee assignments during this December 16th meeting. REQUEST #2 - Upcoming 2026 Brown Act Changes Brown Act training…Starting January 1, 2026 there are several changes to multiple sections of the Brown Act. I’m requesting that the Council, commissions and staff be updated on these changes as quickly as possible. It would be helpful if a presentation of these changes be done so the public can attend. This could potentially reduce Brown Act complaints by the public. IMPORTANT NOTE: The video crews for ALL meetings need to be trained regarding requirements or showing remote Council, commission and committee members during meetings. REQUEST #3 - Continue the 3-Council Meeting agenda look ahead Please continue the 3-Council meeting agenda look ahead that is currently being done to balance agenda items across multiple Council meetings.

The Mori Kitchen site on South De Anza Blvd. is being redeveloped as a very tall housing project. There are Cupertino and San Jose frontages on properties immediately adjacent to this site. Is there an agreement between Cupertino and San Jose about the amount of setback and street Trees on the frontage of South De Anza Blvd? The area could look inconsistent if one part has no setbacks and no trees and the other part has setbacks and street trees. If there is no previous agreement between the two cities, it might be a good time to develop one So any future development in the area will be harmonious.

Is anything being done to try to help these poor businesses with no homes relocate to other retail locations in Cupertino? I would think it would be very beneficial and in Cupertino's best interests to try to keep These Refugee businesses in town. I find the loss of Staples to be really upsetting. We will have no Computer Supply Store in Cupertino, home of Apple. We have a lot of empty store fronts with no retail or commercial in them. We have Refugee Restaurants too. They should be encouraged to try to relocate to other retail locations in Cupertino. Are we helping them in any way? Thank you for your concentrated efforts to keep our beloved retail and restaurants in town. We don't have to let them become victims to SB 330. By helping them, we help ourselves. Thank you.

Dear City Clerk: Please include the following as public comment for the December 26, 2025 City Council meeting. Thank you. -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Loss of Retail on Stevens Creek Blvd. From: Jennifer Griffin <grenna5000@yahoo.com> Sent: Friday, December 5, 2025, 12:29 AM To: citycouncil@cupertino.org,cityclerk@cupertino.org CC: grenna5000@yahoo.com Dear City Council: (Please include the following public comment for the Cupertino City Council Meeting on December 16, 2025. ) I am very concerned with the continued loss of retail along Stevens Creek Blvd. The housing bills do not reflect the continued need for retail in cities. The housing bills do not address the need for residents to have retail. It is a continued deficiency in the deluge of housing bills we have been inundated with the last few years. When our city retail goes away, not only do our residents suffer, residents from our neighboring Cities suffer too. They also shop in our city and when our retail goes away, they have no place to Shop. There used to be many bridal stores in our city. Now, residents seeking bridal supplies are Forced to go to Willow Glen or The Alameda. I think we need to have a Retail Summit to acknowledge the Retail Crisis in our city. I am not sure how we do this. I am also worried about the loss of grocery stores and other amenities in the city. We have lost A lot of active retail along Stevens Creek Blvd. in the last year. We are losing Staples where we shop a lot. There is too much concentration of new housing on Stevens Creek Blvd. and in other places. We are losing valuable Retail. I think we need to have a Retail Town Hall to discuss Retail Issues in the city. In a year we may Have no retail left on Stevens Creek Blvd. I hope that 2026 can be the year we bring active retail back to Cupertino. We have a lot of Retail Refugee Relocation Shops with no place to go. They are being chased out of the city. Thank you. Best regards, Jennifer Griffin
