We are requesting immediate assistance from the Cupertino City Council regarding property taken in early 2016 and without notice property plus belonings again at the end of 2021, which has still not been returned. I have made multiple attempts to resolve this matter, including requests for meetings, but have received no response. I am asking the Council to (1) investigate the removal of my property, (2) facilitate its return if still in the City’s possession, and (3) stop all on-going retaliation/ ensure there is no further retaliation for raising this issue. We are ready to meet with a City official as soon as possible to resolve this and expect the return of the property and an end to the retaliation we have experienced since bringing this forward.

We request the immediate return of all property and belongings taken from us. Additionally, we ask that all sanctions and any prosecutorial overreach—both to date and ongoing—be lifted as soon as possible.

Our family lives at the bottom edge of the city’s economic and social margins. We are doing our best to hold on — even now, part of our roof requires patching every few months just to keep things livable. Years ago, we were misled by an Indian real estate agent, which led to major losses and hardship. Despite this, we took full responsibility and followed the proper path through the City Planning and Building Department. We worked with licensed, experienced professionals to carry out an approved plan for the 2nd time. Unfortunately, a complaint from the 1st construction — made by someone who has since left their position — led to retaliation on the 2nd one, and lack of the communication as stated below caused more confusion. We did our best to stand up, but over time, we lost everything: the property, our belongings, and the sense of home we built over years as long-standing residents. It felt like persecution. And the pain didn’t stop there — we were falsely labeled, our rights stripped away, and our lives disrupted in ways that had nothing to do with the original matter. These labels have followed us into every corner of life. It has reached a point so tragic and unjust that criminals were able to attack us, but we could not fight back — not legally, not financially, not even emotionally — because of how the court accepted the City's false narrative. The damage from these untrue labels has led to severe mental and emotional decline for our family. The refusal of the courts to hear our side, to look at the full truth, has left us in a state of hopelessness and fear. Making things worse, the lack of communication from the City over the past several years has deepened the hardship. We were not able to schedule even a single in-person meeting, despite repeated efforts. One of our elder family members is now immobile, and the sense of isolation and exclusion has been profound. We’ve been forced to pay unnecessary legal fees, not only for the property matter, but also for broader issues where City sanctions were misapplied or extended beyond their scope — even into private disputes, turning what should have been civil into something resembling a political prisoner situation. We’ve had to spend even more money six figure just to settle matters that were never ours to begin with, nothing to do with city, but couldn't defend since city hold as 'prisoner' on all unrelated matter. We have no place else to turn. We have always believed in the City Council’s mission to support residents. We believe in redemption and renewal. We accepted the outcome the first time and tried to rebuild. But now, I’m asking — from the deepest part of my heart — that you extend that same belief to us. No one — no matter their flaws — deserves to be forgotten in the system, lost in endless procedures, enduring punishment far beyond what justice requires. Please see us. Please give us the opportunity to be heard and to heal. We respectfully ask that this be treated as a high-priority matter, and that steps be taken to restore open communication, offer fair support, and ensure no resident is left behind. Thank you for your time and your service to the people of this City. Jane for Huang family 4086731820 CC 4-21-2026 #5 Accounts Payable for March 13 & March 27, 2026 Written Communications From:Santosh Rao To:City Council; City Clerk; Tina Kapoor; Chad Mosley; Benjamin Fu; Rachelle Sander; Jonathan Orozco, CPA Subject:Please pull agenda item 5 from consent calendar. Date:Tuesday, April 21, 2026 6:39:59 PM CAUTION: This email originated from outside of the organization. Do not click links or open attachments unless you recognize the sender and know the content is safe. (Myself only as a Cupertino resident) Dear Mayor Moore and Councilmembers, Please pull Agenda Item 5 from the consent calendar. It warrants a public discussion and clear, accountable decision-making. This is not a routine budget environment. The City is under fiscal strain. That reality must be reflected in how spending decisions are reviewed and approved. Expenditures above $10,000 should receive explicit Council scrutiny. Departments should be expected to justify necessity, timing, and measurable benefit. Repeated proposals to expand spending during a constrained period raise legitimate concerns about alignment with the City’s financial condition. Accountability must be consistent and visible. Department directors should be evaluated on prudent stewardship of public funds, including their ability to prioritize core services and defer non-essential costs. The City Manager plays a critical role in setting and enforcing this standard across the organization. Prioritization matters. Programs and expenditures that do not directly serve residents, or that can be restructured for full cost recovery, should be reconsidered first. Where appropriate, non-resident participation should reflect full cost recovery, and resident access should be protected. Fiscal discipline is not about reducing service quality. It is about focusing resources where they deliver the greatest community value and ensuring long-term stability. I urge the Council to use this item as an opportunity to demonstrate strong oversight, reinforce expectations, and align spending with current fiscal realities. Thank you for your consideration.
