Mayor Moore, Vice-Mayor Chao, Council members Fruen, Mohan and Wang, This represents what we believe to be the longest continuous prosecution and persecution in U.S. history. Even after the original objective was accomplished through extreme City persecution—taking our property and belongings—the actions continued. Rather than ending, they expanded into the ongoing deprivation of our rights, causing escalating harm over time, not just extensive unrelated financial loss. The duration and persistence of this treatment are, in many people's views, historically unprecedented. Please include one of the many pleads below. ----- Forwarded Message ----- From: j w <jzw97@yahoo.com> To: City Clerk <cityclerk@cupertino.org> Cc: citycouncil@cupertino.org <citycouncil@cupertino.org> Sent: Tuesday, November 18, 2025 at 02:47:24 PM PST Subject: Re: time sensitive!Request for Support, Restoration of Communication, and lift the 'political prisoner/hostage'/Fair Treatment from the City Dear City Clerk, Please confirm it is published.

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 - 07-07-2026 #13 Response to the 2026 Civil Grand Jury of Santa Clara County Report Written Communications From:Jean Bedord To:City Council; Cupertino City Manager"s Office; City Attorney"s Office; City Clerk Subject:Agenda Item # 13 Response to Grand Jury Report, City Council July 7, 2026 Date:Tuesday, July 7, 2026 4:30:38 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. City council and staff, My reaction to the proposed response to the Grand Jury Report is that it is inadequate and only provides lip service to the requirement that the city respond to the Findings. It does not address the deeper issue relating to remote participation. Certainly, remote participation due to medical reasons and family emergencies is reasonable. Routine remote participation for personal business should not be acceptable for an elected official. Residents did not elect absentee representatives.. I urge the council to address the underlying issue. A concerned resident. Jean Bedord
