on any matter within the jurisdiction of the Commission and not on the

13
00:01:34.430 --> 00:01:40.110
Quinlan Conf Room: Do we have any oral communications? We have no

14
00:01:41.870 --> 00:01:59.390
Quinlan Conf Room: Moving right along to new business, 2026 Artist Awards
Program and Theme Selection. The recommended action is to receive a
presentation of the 2026 Artist Awards Program, and two, discuss and
select a theme for this year. And now I'll hand it off to Sam.
15
00:01:59.570 --> 00:02:12.100
Quinlan Conf Room: Thank you so much. My name's Carolyn McDowell, and I
met all of you in January of this year at the Arts program, and to be
quite frank, your faces all look familiar, but I was in week two of work.
16
00:02:12.100 --> 00:02:24.190
Quinlan Conf Room: And I met a ton of people, and thank you for being
such friendly faces as I joined the Cupertino team. But that night, I
told you that thanks to my friend Jessica here, my canoe colleague.
17
00:02:24.190 --> 00:02:39.399
Quinlan Conf Room: That we're going to be guiding you through the 2026
Artist Award Program. And I'm really going to lean on her a lot tonight,
and hopefully, over time, become a little bit more self-sufficient, in
supporting the Commission with this, really valuable program.
18
00:02:39.490 --> 00:02:43.839
Quinlan Conf Room: So, for tonight's agenda, we are going to be going
through the background.
19
00:02:43.920 --> 00:02:49.360
Quinlan Conf Room: The artist award category descriptions, the art
submission types.
20
00:02:49.430 --> 00:03:06.399
Quinlan Conf Room: The application requirements, the evaluation criteria,
the timeline, the next steps, and, any questions that you may have.
Obviously, we'll do the best we can to get answers to those this evening
as well.
21
00:03:06.900 --> 00:03:26.100
Quinlan Conf Room: So, the purpose of, the program, is… or our purpose in
the Parks and Recreation Department is to support the Arts and Culture
Commissioner in fostering and encouraging artistic expression here in
Cupertino, and really specifically in the fields of visual, verbal, and
performing arts.
22
00:03:26.120 --> 00:03:32.339
Quinlan Conf Room: While also preserving, arts to benefit citizens of
Cupertino.
23
00:03:32.340 --> 00:03:52.160
Quinlan Conf Room: So every year, the Commission has been presented with
a similar packet since 1988, so this is not a new program to Cupertino,
but it's my understanding, that it used to be called something different,
the Distinguished Award, or Distinguished Arctic Award Program, and has
since been changed to what you know it as today.
24
00:03:52.460 --> 00:03:58.109
Quinlan Conf Room: I know all of you have been through this program at
least one year, some of you several years.
25
00:03:58.110 --> 00:04:14.739
Quinlan Conf Room: And the way, we're gonna go through it tonight is just
to remind you of some of that stuff, since it is just an annual thing
that's brought before the Commission. Remind you of all these things, so
that way we're on the same point at the end of this evening on a theme
and moving forward, with the marketing.
26
00:04:14.950 --> 00:04:31.019
Quinlan Conf Room: I do want to let you know that in 2024, the Commission
did review the Artist Award descriptions, application criteria, and
evaluation forms, so they were recently updated. In 2024 and 2025, the
program's been in existence under that new format.
27
00:04:31.020 --> 00:04:38.199
Quinlan Conf Room: And we are anticipating, just because of the timing
and everything, to move forward in that same manner in 2026.
28
00:04:38.250 --> 00:04:56.839
Quinlan Conf Room: For reference, in 2025, the commission received, I was
blown away, I have to be quite honest, was, received and evaluated a
total of 164, submissions, and the winners, are still displayed in the
Cupertino Library, in the first floor.
29
00:04:57.090 --> 00:04:58.770
Quinlan Conf Room: Guys are all familiar with.
30
00:04:59.600 --> 00:05:09.390
Quinlan Conf Room: So I am going to jump forward here, into the program
itself and describe the different categories to remind you, of the
different categories that we have.
31
00:05:09.390 --> 00:05:22.370
Quinlan Conf Room: So, we do have the Distinguished Artist Award, which
does have a stipend that goes along with it for $1,000, and it recognized
artists, having substantial body of work that
32
00:05:22.370 --> 00:05:29.640
Quinlan Conf Room: Displays merit and excellence, as well as history of
contributions, to the artistic field and the community.
33
00:05:29.640 --> 00:05:46.210
Quinlan Conf Room: Last year's artist did do a photograph, out at
McClellan Ranch, and in her acceptance, it was nice that she recognized
open space, the Parks and Recreation Department, and that sort of thing.
So that was very touching to us in particular in this department.
34
00:05:47.080 --> 00:05:58.029
Quinlan Conf Room: Prize winners, have taught classes, they participated
in shows. They're definitely more distinguished than your capital
artists, that we have in some of the other categories.
35
00:05:58.410 --> 00:06:08.850
Quinlan Conf Room: We also have, in the next category, the emerging
artist. It, too, has a cash prize of $750 for the Platinum winner.
36
00:06:08.850 --> 00:06:24.210
Quinlan Conf Room: And it's established to encourage and recognize,
demonstrations of artistic promise, so it's kind of your up-and-coming
artist. And they do recognize younger artists, in rediscovering their
love, for art later in life as well.
37
00:06:24.480 --> 00:06:43.960
Quinlan Conf Room: The last category that we have is the young artist.
Obviously, there's the most participants in this category. It too has a
cash prize, of $150 per age group, and within the young artist category,
there are two age groups. Group A is 6-10 year olds.
38
00:06:43.960 --> 00:06:55.309
Quinlan Conf Room: And Group B is 11 to 14 year olds, and these are for
deserving artists, in recognition of their achievements, in the various
mediums that,
39
00:06:55.650 --> 00:06:57.880
Quinlan Conf Room: They can submit in.
40
00:06:59.030 --> 00:07:00.159
Quinlan Conf Room: Thank you, Jess.
41
00:07:02.140 --> 00:07:17.469
Quinlan Conf Room: So talking about the different submission types, we
have four different primary categories. The distinguished and emerging
artists, can participate in visual arts, such as painting, drawing,
photography, and sculpture.
42
00:07:17.790 --> 00:07:35.680
Quinlan Conf Room: performing arts, such as dance, music, and theater,
literary arts as poetry and essay writing, and then, of course, digital
arts, which is film and video. The young artist is only the one category
of visual, arts. So,
43
00:07:36.330 --> 00:07:46.020
Quinlan Conf Room: there were quite a few entries in that category. So,
if we can move on to the application requirements… Can I ask a question
there? Yes, sir. On the previous slide?
44
00:07:47.070 --> 00:07:58.309
Quinlan Conf Room: So… In terms of 3D art, which include mixed media,
could include ceramics.
45
00:07:58.460 --> 00:08:02.020
Quinlan Conf Room: Which is… You know, a while I'm gonna try to move.
46
00:08:02.370 --> 00:08:10.699
Quinlan Conf Room: That fits in one of these? It would fit in visual arts
and sculpture. Like a pot? Yes. Good. Yes.
47
00:08:11.020 --> 00:08:12.840
Quinlan Conf Room: Huh? Yes. Thanks.
48
00:08:15.070 --> 00:08:34.770
Quinlan Conf Room: Okay, so for the application requirements, there is
different requirements, for… Distinguished and Emergent has similar, or
the same requirements, I should say, and then the young artist has a
separate, requirement. So let's go through the Distinguished and Emerging
Artist online application.
49
00:08:34.770 --> 00:08:42.459
Quinlan Conf Room: Does require a personal statement that addresses
artistic promise, goals, and past accomplishments.
50
00:08:42.820 --> 00:08:52.829
Quinlan Conf Room: A letter of endorsement and our support that includes
the relationship to an artist, so possibly an instructor or fellow
colleague, that sort of thing.
51
00:08:52.960 --> 00:09:10.689
Quinlan Conf Room: A digital portfolio of up to three pieces, so in this
case, they can submit more than one piece, that best represents, their
body of work, and then a resume and exhibition record if they have, a
history, of exhibiting their art.
52
00:09:10.870 --> 00:09:15.040
Quinlan Conf Room: So that would be for distinguished or emerging artist
applications.
53
00:09:15.180 --> 00:09:22.940
Quinlan Conf Room: For the young artist application, it's truly just the
visual art entry that, is being submitted.
54
00:09:23.120 --> 00:09:38.370
Quinlan Conf Room: In all cases, the applicants must either live in
Cupertino, so that would be zip code 95014, attend an educational
institution in Cupertino, or participate in an art school physically in
Cupertino.
55
00:09:38.830 --> 00:09:40.500
Quinlan Conf Room: So,
56
00:09:40.990 --> 00:09:54.760
Quinlan Conf Room: I do want to point out that attending a Cupertino
Union School District school, or Fremont Union School District school,
does not necessarily make the child eligible, or the person eligible.
They do need to live
57
00:09:55.030 --> 00:10:02.610
Quinlan Conf Room: in Cupertino, attend an educational institution in
Cupertino, or participate in art school physically in Cupertino.
58
00:10:02.800 --> 00:10:09.530
Quinlan Conf Room: I'm sorry, I'm reading the OR and OR, so I thought
that was sufficient condition.
59
00:10:09.630 --> 00:10:27.669
Quinlan Conf Room: If they were attending, Cupertino Union School
District. So, Cupertino Union… In Cupertino. In Cupertino, then yes.
Yeah, oh, got it. Like, Cupertino High is in West San Jose. Yeah, I
understand. Okay, so that's okay. Correct. I got it, that's fine.
Correct.
60
00:10:29.080 --> 00:10:35.830
Quinlan Conf Room: Okay. Any other questions regarding the application
requirements before we move forward? Okay, fantastic.
61
00:10:36.450 --> 00:10:55.049
Quinlan Conf Room: So, all three categories are evaluated on media,
creativity, and originality, and obviously fitting in on the theme, which
we'll be talking about later tonight. The emerging and distinguished
artists are also evaluated on their personal statement, and…
62
00:10:56.680 --> 00:11:07.810
Quinlan Conf Room: and everything else that's in part of their submission
packet, okay? So, you guys all received several attachments for tonight.
Attachment B in your packet
63
00:11:07.810 --> 00:11:31.049
Quinlan Conf Room: describes the evaluation criteria in full, and as we
talk about the timeline, when it comes time to evaluating the artist's
submissions, later this year, then we'll be talking a bit more about the
evaluation criteria and refreshing those for you before we actually start
to evaluate the art itself, just to remind you of that, okay?
64
00:11:32.510 --> 00:11:41.330
Quinlan Conf Room: So, moving forward, the timeline, for the program,
tonight the… The Commission will finalize
65
00:11:41.360 --> 00:11:56.840
Quinlan Conf Room: And select a program theme, which really is the
catalyst for our department being able to move forward and start to
create the marketing that goes along with the program, and getting you
all of that content to be able to start to disseminate amongst your
contacts in the community.
66
00:11:56.850 --> 00:12:15.730
Quinlan Conf Room: We too also will do a mailing to all the prior,
participants. Email, of course, these days, but you know what I mean, but
distributing information to prior participants, etc. But really, none of
that can take place without us, getting to a theme this evening.
67
00:12:15.730 --> 00:12:33.029
Quinlan Conf Room: So, before we can update the website or create some of
those content materials, we really need, to… to get to that piece. But
the program will start once we've gotten all the marketing prepared. The
program will start to accept online applications beginning Tuesday,
September 1st.
68
00:12:33.280 --> 00:12:38.350
Quinlan Conf Room: And we'll accept them through Thursday, October 1st at
4 30 in the evening.
69
00:12:38.720 --> 00:12:42.600
Quinlan Conf Room: you'll see Jessica and I back at a November meeting.
70
00:12:42.830 --> 00:12:56.260
Quinlan Conf Room: Where we'll start to evaluate and select the award
winners. And then, as you're aware, the January meeting is generally
where we have the celebration of the artists, the ceremony itself.
71
00:12:56.260 --> 00:13:04.129
Quinlan Conf Room: And then, immediately thereafter, putting the exhibit,
in the library for the entire community to see.
72
00:13:04.450 --> 00:13:11.440
Quinlan Conf Room: So, with that being said, I just want to do some final
thoughts before we move on to the brainstorming process.
73
00:13:11.740 --> 00:13:21.709
Quinlan Conf Room: For the 2026, selection process, as a reminder, the
theme was Threads That Bind Us.
74
00:13:22.010 --> 00:13:23.950
Quinlan Conf Room: And…
75
00:13:25.090 --> 00:13:38.950
Quinlan Conf Room: To get the conversation going this evening, Jessica
has been kind enough to create a spreadsheet for us that has all of the
2025 ideas that were brainstormed by the Commission.
76
00:13:39.060 --> 00:13:55.240
Quinlan Conf Room: What I'd like to do is to go through that briefly with
the Commission, refresh ourselves to some of the ideas, that were brought
forward. There are some amazing ideas on this list. I can only imagine
how they would play out, in various pieces of artwork.
77
00:13:55.240 --> 00:14:02.460
Quinlan Conf Room: and see if any of those might be able to slide over
for consideration this evening. We may look at that list and say.
78
00:14:02.560 --> 00:14:17.300
Quinlan Conf Room: perfect, based on what's going on in the world today,
based on what's going on in Cupertino, based on how you all feel as a
group, as art looks in 2026, we may hit the nail on the head with
something that's already on the list. If not.
79
00:14:17.300 --> 00:14:26.669
Quinlan Conf Room: We can go ahead and move forward with some additional
brainstorming tonight, but I do think it's worth consideration to take a
look back at this list and to get our juices flowing.
80
00:14:26.670 --> 00:14:29.940
Quinlan Conf Room: Is everybody good with that? Okay.
81
00:14:30.560 --> 00:14:32.599
Quinlan Conf Room: Question?
82
00:14:32.840 --> 00:14:33.690
Quinlan Conf Room: Yes.
83
00:14:34.090 --> 00:14:43.690
Quinlan Conf Room: Before we go directly, it's on the, criteria for,
applied, right?
84
00:14:43.900 --> 00:14:57.009
Quinlan Conf Room: So, this is maybe just a reminder for me, and then
maybe for others, if they're wanting to know. Previous winners may apply.
Is that correct? Correct. Yes, they may.
85
00:14:57.870 --> 00:14:58.750
Quinlan Conf Room: Okay.
86
00:14:58.880 --> 00:15:06.659
Quinlan Conf Room: But not pieces they submitted. That is correct. They
have to submit new pieces, but they may apply.
87
00:15:07.130 --> 00:15:25.189
Quinlan Conf Room: I would think, too, that pieces… I mean, last year's
last year's theme was Threads That Buy. Yes, right. This year's theme is
likely going to be something different that may not fit with that, so
even if they were to resubmit something, it might not be as competitive,
because it likely will not,
88
00:15:25.300 --> 00:15:26.300
Quinlan Conf Room: Match.
89
00:15:26.430 --> 00:15:32.329
Quinlan Conf Room: wherever, you know, tonight's process… That's correct,
yeah. That's fine. That was my question. Thank you.
90
00:15:32.460 --> 00:15:39.149
Quinlan Conf Room: And then another question, do we have a location
booked for the art award and exhibition?
91
00:15:39.790 --> 00:15:47.489
Quinlan Conf Room: So, right now, it is booked, for… I have the date
here, just…
92
00:15:48.080 --> 00:15:53.869
Quinlan Conf Room: for your general meeting in January, so you guys
generally meet,
93
00:15:54.690 --> 00:16:13.559
Quinlan Conf Room: the last Monday of the month, correct? Thank you very
much. So right now, we have it booked for the 25th. Your meeting
generally takes place at 6 30. We have the Artist Award tentatively for 5
to 6, allowing you from 6 to 6.30 to make your way over here, and then to
start your meeting.
94
00:16:13.560 --> 00:16:26.310
Quinlan Conf Room: That is tentative, but I would block it out on your
calendar as we move forward. And then that would be at… That's what we
have booked right now, yes. Yeah, I think, we've tried two different
locations, at least when
95
00:16:26.490 --> 00:16:28.309
Quinlan Conf Room: We've been on legitimate.
96
00:16:28.520 --> 00:16:38.429
Quinlan Conf Room: And I think Community Hall worked the best. I mean, it
was a little bit more intimate, it was more grand for photos and for
award recipients, so…
97
00:16:38.430 --> 00:16:51.869
Quinlan Conf Room: Absolutely. You can thank Jess. As a participant last
year, I definitely felt like it was special, right? Special for the
people that were in attendance and very thoughtfully done, so…
98
00:16:51.870 --> 00:16:58.539
Quinlan Conf Room: All of that work obviously took place from somebody
else sitting at this table, but, look forward to participating in
addition.
99
00:16:59.250 --> 00:17:02.159
Quinlan Conf Room: And then one thing to note, I wanted to go back to,
100
00:17:02.460 --> 00:17:07.240
Quinlan Conf Room: Commissioner Rose's question about, previous archives
that's already been submitted.
101
00:17:07.270 --> 00:17:26.840
Quinlan Conf Room: So in the description, we have that submitting pieces
from a previous artist award submission is highly discouraged. We don't
say that it's not allowed. However, you as the evaluators are able to, if
you see a piece that's already been submitted, you know, you can factor
that into your score. Submit is allowed, but discouraged. It's highly
discouraged.
102
00:17:29.130 --> 00:17:40.720
Quinlan Conf Room: Please. I just want to make sure, Commissioner Chen's
attendance got added. Yes. Okay. Sorry, Kelly.
103
00:17:41.290 --> 00:17:57.250
Quinlan Conf Room: Okay, so before we move forward on the actual
brainstorming of, this year's theme, are there any other questions about
the staff presentation, or anything about the process for the 2026,
Artist Award program?
104
00:17:57.950 --> 00:18:11.980
Quinlan Conf Room: I have one question. So, the media and the section
where you said that, the media type of art, does it also include digital
art? Anybody can sit there? I think it was five?
105
00:18:19.160 --> 00:18:23.779
Quinlan Conf Room: Yeah, that one, yeah. One more ahead, please.
106
00:18:24.810 --> 00:18:29.080
Quinlan Conf Room: So those are all the submission types. One more? I saw
one.
107
00:18:29.250 --> 00:18:45.500
Quinlan Conf Room: Yeah, media slash tools evaluation. So, in that case,
the one, any submission that's done from any digital art tool, like
Photoshop, or if I design something from Canva, will that be considered a
digital art format? And in which category will that be considered?
108
00:18:46.330 --> 00:18:52.940
Quinlan Conf Room: So, if you can go back to… these are the evaluation
criteria, right? So…
109
00:18:52.940 --> 00:19:08.230
Quinlan Conf Room: for instance, for the young adult, you're just going
to be looking at the actual piece of art, right? For the distinguished
and the emerging artist, you're going to be looking at their application,
their resume, all of that stuff. So that slide that Jessica just moved
away from.
110
00:19:08.230 --> 00:19:13.149
Quinlan Conf Room: Is really more the evaluation criteria, not
necessarily,
111
00:19:13.360 --> 00:19:27.819
Quinlan Conf Room: anything else. Here is the different categories. So,
visual arts, performing, literary, and digital arts. And obviously,
everything's being submitted online, so if it is something, going back to
your comment earlier.
112
00:19:27.820 --> 00:19:35.830
Quinlan Conf Room: Right? It is going to be a digital form of, let's just
say, a sculpture, right? Going back to that example earlier.
113
00:19:36.300 --> 00:19:38.900
Quinlan Conf Room: Meeting? Right.
114
00:19:39.130 --> 00:19:54.120
Quinlan Conf Room: I think I understand, and I thank you for bringing
that up. Maybe if that is your question, what I'm thinking, if that's the
same, is, is it created through computer and software tools and
technology? Right.
115
00:19:54.190 --> 00:19:59.330
Quinlan Conf Room: And I'm glad you mentioned it, because I was thinking
about it this morning.
116
00:19:59.840 --> 00:20:10.560
Quinlan Conf Room: And we've experienced that in the recent years, and it
could be becoming more and more with the AI tools. I can become an
artist. So…
117
00:20:10.850 --> 00:20:18.230
Quinlan Conf Room: This is something maybe my proposal would be that we
discuss as commissioners. Do we want the artists to
118
00:20:18.890 --> 00:20:30.530
Quinlan Conf Room: Let us know that. Just to give you an example. Now,
when we are using altered photography in our business, we need to write
the additionally altered, or
119
00:20:31.130 --> 00:20:33.230
Quinlan Conf Room: What else? Sure.
120
00:20:33.850 --> 00:20:57.180
Quinlan Conf Room: lightened, whatever, but it's artificially stored with
software tools. Actually, I was thinking one step ahead, Miss Caroline,
Ms. Jessica, if it's possible, can we have a separate category for the
digital art? Because that might not be as… I mean, like, it might not be
at the same par with other art form of arts. That's what I was… if it is
allowed, then instead of mixing it with other forms.
121
00:20:57.180 --> 00:21:02.039
Quinlan Conf Room: Can we have a separate category altogether for digital
art forms? That I would like to suggest.
122
00:21:04.220 --> 00:21:18.560
Quinlan Conf Room: So we don't… we don't accept any AI-generated art.
Yeah, so… Not for AI, but even when I use the tools, like, I'm a
designer, I don't use AI, I design myself. I use different tools. That's
not AI, but myself. Conditional media, though.
123
00:21:18.560 --> 00:21:24.250
Quinlan Conf Room: So in that case, that might be unfair for people who
are designing on canvas paper or other forms of art.
124
00:21:24.250 --> 00:21:31.769
Quinlan Conf Room: So, is it possible that we have a section which is
actually digital, only digital, not the video, but the art form of
digital kinds?
125
00:21:31.770 --> 00:21:36.770
Quinlan Conf Room: Is that feasible? May I ask Brenda? Sure.
126
00:21:37.090 --> 00:21:47.189
Quinlan Conf Room: Why create a separate category only for digital, when
you go to create… I mean, these things are not categorized. I see.
Anybody can submit in any form.
127
00:21:47.410 --> 00:22:04.069
Quinlan Conf Room: It could be a performing art, could be digital art,
could be physical art, could be a painting, could be 2D, 3D. Okay.
They're not, like, in digital art, who wants something? So, it's all one
bucket. Visual arts. We will be comparing a 3D piece of art with a
painting.
128
00:22:04.190 --> 00:22:15.280
Quinlan Conf Room: I see. Right, that's a challenge, but that's how it
is. Yeah, that's… as you mentioned, it's a challenge. It's also a little
unfair for people who are actually designing, but… But it's unfair to
everyone equally.
129
00:22:15.420 --> 00:22:22.510
Quinlan Conf Room: Right? So, and if we create, again, in my opinion, if
we create categories
130
00:22:22.650 --> 00:22:27.539
Quinlan Conf Room: It could be a very long list. Got it. Right? Sure. I
understand.
131
00:22:27.850 --> 00:22:29.000
Quinlan Conf Room: Interesting.
132
00:22:29.320 --> 00:22:37.149
Quinlan Conf Room: Okay, but you did tell us something interesting. Yeah,
the AI piece. So, AI-generated art is not accepted. Correct.
133
00:22:37.420 --> 00:22:53.179
Quinlan Conf Room: Correct. Well, number one, I'm glad, but… so that is
flagged here. Make a mistake? Yeah, that is… if I remember correctly, we
had this discussion last year, and we intentionally added that line.
Okay, good. Okay.
134
00:22:53.370 --> 00:22:59.249
Quinlan Conf Room: I think that's part of that's… yeah, and I also
totally recognize what you're saying, and that…
135
00:22:59.410 --> 00:23:05.379
Quinlan Conf Room: what Commissioner said, they have something to think
about, but we don't have any categories, so… Yep.
136
00:23:05.580 --> 00:23:11.669
Quinlan Conf Room: We are not telling them, submit your entry in
performing arts either, so…
137
00:23:11.840 --> 00:23:28.049
Quinlan Conf Room: That's the point. So, for distinguished category,
there is a one winner that is getting the $1,000 or the $750, right?
Regardless of what category they're spending it, right? So, we can be
running neck and…
138
00:23:28.170 --> 00:23:40.170
Quinlan Conf Room: you know, competing as the group is trying to decide
first place over second place, and yours could be visual, and mine could
be performing, right? Very different types of art.
139
00:23:40.460 --> 00:23:47.300
Quinlan Conf Room: But because there's just one winner, not categories of
winners, we're competing against
140
00:23:48.870 --> 00:24:02.179
Quinlan Conf Room: So, question. AI generation versus tool media
generation, how do you differentiate? I can design two which are exactly
the same replicas. How do you differentiate? How do we differentiate?
141
00:24:03.880 --> 00:24:12.489
Quinlan Conf Room: I think we have to depend on the integrity of the
submitter, because we don't have the tools
142
00:24:12.640 --> 00:24:17.119
Quinlan Conf Room: to do the forensics. Okay, okay. Right?
143
00:24:17.710 --> 00:24:18.960
Quinlan Conf Room: Understood, yeah.
144
00:24:22.800 --> 00:24:35.269
Quinlan Conf Room: It will be a challenge. We should have a discussion.
Even from last year to this year, I mean, the capabilities have been
smooth.
145
00:24:35.270 --> 00:24:52.050
Quinlan Conf Room: Yes, your AI is deducted like anything, so yes. If I
can suggest, I mean, you're talking about the integrity of this
submission, we do have the capability with the submission to be able to,
you know, ask folks, is this AI generated, or please confirm that it is
not AI-generated, etc. It would be…
146
00:24:52.050 --> 00:24:55.300
Quinlan Conf Room: One more thing that you could check whatever box you
choose to check.
147
00:24:55.480 --> 00:25:04.549
Quinlan Conf Room: But it would be a check and balance of sorts to
incorporate, and it's not too late to do that, if you would like for us
to consider that for this year.
148
00:25:04.570 --> 00:25:13.690
Quinlan Conf Room: Yeah, if you have a protocol of not allowing that, so
it would be better to ask them, because they might not know. It might be
in naivety that they submit something.
149
00:25:13.690 --> 00:25:23.970
Quinlan Conf Room: So, yeah, it'll be better to ask if you're not
allowing anything like that. Yeah, if I understand correctly, basically
you're saying in the form where, applicants
150
00:25:23.970 --> 00:25:34.550
Quinlan Conf Room: art. I mean, we already have a whole questionnaire,
right? What is your name? What is your address, blah, blah, blah, blah,
blah. So you're suggesting just adding one more line that says, I confirm
that…
151
00:25:34.590 --> 00:25:44.120
Quinlan Conf Room: I did not use AI-generated art in my submission. Is
that your precaution? Correct. I think that's a great idea. It prevents
people making mistakes, and…
152
00:25:44.130 --> 00:26:05.870
Quinlan Conf Room: getting into uncomfortable situations. I know, at
least in some college admissions, like, they do the exact same thing,
because the reality is it's impossible for the entity to, like, vet
literally everything, but, like, relying on some sorts of, like, the word
of the applicant to confirm. Correct.
153
00:26:06.010 --> 00:26:10.460
Quinlan Conf Room: Sure. Do we need a motion on that, or this is good
enough?
154
00:26:10.930 --> 00:26:28.750
Quinlan Conf Room: This is… this is fine. It sounds like everybody's
feeling the same way, and it's something easy to incorporate. At this
point, it would be a little bit harder later in the game, but at this
point, it'd be pretty simple to incorporate.
155
00:26:31.500 --> 00:26:41.610
Quinlan Conf Room: Can we move forward with, the selecting of the theme?
Oh, before we go to the discussion, do you want to do public comment? Oh,
sure.
156
00:26:43.170 --> 00:26:57.930
Quinlan Conf Room: Okay, I'd like to open it for public comment. Do we
have any speakers? We have no speakers, Chair. Okay, closing public
comment. Moving on to discussion among the commissioners.
157
00:27:03.160 --> 00:27:04.730
Quinlan Conf Room: Which number is this, sir?
158
00:27:05.160 --> 00:27:08.880
Quinlan Conf Room: We're still on, agenda item number 2.
159
00:27:10.630 --> 00:27:11.550
Quinlan Conf Room: Okay.
160
00:27:13.590 --> 00:27:24.599
Quinlan Conf Room: Okay, so, there's… there's not many, but there's a lot
at the same time, so I'd like to just go through the 25 themes that were
brought forward.
161
00:27:24.600 --> 00:27:34.170
Quinlan Conf Room: from this group, just read through them real quick,
Better World and Diversity, Beyond the Borders, Bridge of Friendship.
162
00:27:34.200 --> 00:27:35.899
Quinlan Conf Room: Bridge of Hearts.
163
00:27:36.040 --> 00:27:42.790
Quinlan Conf Room: Bridging between cultures, building a bridge between
cities, Cupertino through time.
164
00:27:43.130 --> 00:27:45.349
Quinlan Conf Room: Details of daily life.
165
00:27:45.550 --> 00:27:47.179
Quinlan Conf Room: I am unique.
166
00:27:47.570 --> 00:27:49.259
Quinlan Conf Room: I feel this.
167
00:27:49.610 --> 00:27:51.689
Quinlan Conf Room: Imagine a better world.
168
00:27:51.910 --> 00:27:54.640
Quinlan Conf Room: Kaleidoscope, Colors That Make Us.
169
00:27:55.030 --> 00:27:57.640
Quinlan Conf Room: One voice, many stories.
170
00:27:58.110 --> 00:28:00.170
Quinlan Conf Room: Our world is a rainbow.
171
00:28:00.900 --> 00:28:03.429
Quinlan Conf Room: Past, present, and future?
172
00:28:03.710 --> 00:28:16.490
Quinlan Conf Room: Rainbow of Friendship. Threads That Find Us, I'll
remind you that's the one that was chosen for last year. But there were
some twists to that. Threads that diversity, Threads That Find us, unity
and diversity.
173
00:28:17.200 --> 00:28:25.929
Quinlan Conf Room: Then just unity and diversity. Unity and diversity
that bind us, unity in the city, and we are family.
174
00:28:26.840 --> 00:28:29.919
Quinlan Conf Room: So after that list, I mean…
175
00:28:30.380 --> 00:28:48.870
Quinlan Conf Room: There's some pretty good ones on there. I don't know
if there's any that stood out to you that you might want to have Jessica
pull over to the 2026 list to start our brainstorming for this year, and
to see if anything from that 2025 list may… may carry over for
consideration.
176
00:28:49.460 --> 00:28:57.759
Quinlan Conf Room: I guess procedurally, why don't we just go around in a
circle, and if there's one that you'd like to pull over, feel free to
nominate it.
177
00:28:57.870 --> 00:29:04.450
Quinlan Conf Room: Maybe you can restart here? Okay. So, in terms of,
process, can we pick?
178
00:29:04.610 --> 00:29:20.689
Quinlan Conf Room: Can I… can we propose one, two, or three… You can… you
can propose as many that you think we should consider in discussion for
26. I'd like to bring forward from the previous list, two of them. One
is, imagine a better world.
179
00:29:21.980 --> 00:29:26.220
Quinlan Conf Room: Second one is… We are family.
180
00:29:28.580 --> 00:29:31.649
Quinlan Conf Room: And I'd like to propose a new one.
181
00:29:32.290 --> 00:29:37.710
Quinlan Conf Room: Can we… do you have new ones? Later? Yeah, sure.
182
00:29:41.150 --> 00:29:43.250
Quinlan Conf Room: Commissioner Barrett, any… okay.
183
00:29:43.540 --> 00:29:54.030
Quinlan Conf Room: Take your time. I can enlarge a little bit. Sure. Can
you enlarge a little bit?
184
00:29:54.220 --> 00:29:57.940
Quinlan Conf Room: And yes, if there's none that you want to pull over,
that's fine.
185
00:30:03.590 --> 00:30:07.670
Quinlan Conf Room: Would you like just to scroll down so you can see the
box? Yes, let's do it.
186
00:30:13.980 --> 00:30:17.689
Quinlan Conf Room: I also like… oh, sorry, Mayanna? Yes, please. The
unity in the city.
187
00:30:20.290 --> 00:30:27.960
Quinlan Conf Room: Do you want to put a tally stroke next to that one?
That's… I'm okay with one.
188
00:30:28.650 --> 00:30:43.370
Quinlan Conf Room: And then finally, we are family. Last year? No, last
year was… The last few… Pretty, pretty close. And then I'd like to
nominate pulling over, Cupertino through time.
189
00:30:44.100 --> 00:30:45.610
Quinlan Conf Room: From that team, no.
190
00:30:46.320 --> 00:30:47.070
Quinlan Conf Room: Fair.
191
00:30:48.000 --> 00:30:53.270
Quinlan Conf Room: Yeah, I selected one. Yeah, Cupertino Suhan, yeah, I
selected this one, too.
192
00:30:53.930 --> 00:30:55.109
Quinlan Conf Room: So I'm singing.
193
00:30:55.930 --> 00:31:03.089
Quinlan Conf Room: Let me take the subject's feet, please. Oh, sorry. Any
others that you want to go over? I am unique.
194
00:31:03.230 --> 00:31:04.500
Quinlan Conf Room: Yes.
195
00:31:08.900 --> 00:31:32.740
Quinlan Conf Room: Okay. Yeah, that was, last time I had these three, and
I still feel very strongly for these three. I feel this, that this was…
that was my suggestion for the emotional health of people, because we all
have so many subsocial subjects, but we don't talk about mind, which is
kind of very important at this time. I feel this. It's emotional for
especially youth. We had so many cases where we… a youth was rejected,
and we have suicide cases as well.
196
00:31:32.740 --> 00:31:40.879
Quinlan Conf Room: So if you can touch upon the emotional phase of facet
of youth, children, seniors, people like that, that's… I feel this.
197
00:31:40.880 --> 00:32:00.900
Quinlan Conf Room: That was the emotional side. Next, I was… I suggested
last year was I'm unique. Like, every person be the… I mean, children
have a lot of competition. People have competition, but no matter where I
stand in the competition, no matter where I'm in the race, I still have
something special. So that's what's my suggestion. And the third that I
still feel is kaleidoscope, the colors of life.
198
00:32:00.900 --> 00:32:20.249
Quinlan Conf Room: Colors of time. So these three, I would like to
suggest again. Okay, perfect. Thanks, everyone. May I clarify something?
What I heard you say was kaleidoscope colors through time, which is
slightly different than this. Do you want us to change it to, say, colors
through time, or colors that make us?
199
00:32:21.570 --> 00:32:38.999
Quinlan Conf Room: That was mine. What was colors that make us as a
society? Okay, I just want to clarify. All right, next I'd like to
propose that we go around the circle again, and then share our new ones.
Let's try to limit the discussion now, once we have everything on the
board, then we can discuss.
200
00:32:39.280 --> 00:32:44.310
Quinlan Conf Room: Please. First, I have one only. My happy place.
201
00:32:51.360 --> 00:33:05.989
Quinlan Conf Room: Commissioner Laura. Yeah, just, I have… I don't know
if they have a title, but I do have kind of a theme, and you can see. I
was trying to see what are the initiatives in the city, and I have come
across,
202
00:33:06.000 --> 00:33:11.979
Quinlan Conf Room: A current mayor, Kitty Moore, she's talked about,
wellness.
203
00:33:12.200 --> 00:33:23.379
Quinlan Conf Room: In our community. She also has a lot of programs of
counting steps and so on, some funwise, and they go by the park. But,
wellness is, one of the
204
00:33:23.940 --> 00:33:25.639
Quinlan Conf Room: Higher priorities for…
205
00:33:25.900 --> 00:33:35.080
Quinlan Conf Room: So I wanted to talk about, I had something of that in
mind, the title…
206
00:33:36.450 --> 00:33:42.689
Quinlan Conf Room: Could be, healthy communities, creative arts, I have
lots of them.
207
00:33:43.340 --> 00:33:59.089
Quinlan Conf Room: Even together, we try. It doesn't have wellness, or
wellness in every color, but if you leave Catholic communities and come
back to it to see what title you want to give, I have lots of ideas, but
it's in that theme of, both physical and
208
00:33:59.090 --> 00:34:08.030
Quinlan Conf Room: mental awareness in our community, and supporting
that. If you could do just parentheses wellness, that's, like, the
bucket. Yeah.
209
00:34:08.179 --> 00:34:09.429
Quinlan Conf Room: Yeah, regardless.
210
00:34:13.659 --> 00:34:17.760
Quinlan Conf Room: And then I'd like to add a day in Cupertino.
211
00:34:20.830 --> 00:34:24.710
Quinlan Conf Room: And then also, bridging generations, building
community.
212
00:34:32.670 --> 00:34:45.080
Quinlan Conf Room: I still want Cupertino Su Thai. No other choice. I see
the pastry. I like that. Love your choice.
213
00:34:46.400 --> 00:35:05.360
Quinlan Conf Room: Okay, lastly, any video ones you'd like to add? Yeah,
new one, for me, I would like to take the top issue, which is very
current, and that is the social media now, impacting all of us. So, it's
something, if we can make away from, media, actually living in life, the
present moment, like, something like.
214
00:35:05.360 --> 00:35:20.689
Quinlan Conf Room: look at the scene, not the screen. Something, like,
you know, which makes you think about real life, as compared to always
looking at the phone, always looking at the computer. Something which
makes us live happily the current moment. Not the screen, but the scene,
kind of thing.
215
00:35:20.770 --> 00:35:22.339
Quinlan Conf Room: So, something like that.
216
00:35:22.670 --> 00:35:30.249
Quinlan Conf Room: Look at the scene, not the screen. Yes. Look at the
sea. Like, enjoy the moment, not the screen all the time.
217
00:35:33.170 --> 00:35:36.110
Quinlan Conf Room: We can change the words, but that's the target.
218
00:35:48.140 --> 00:36:00.509
Quinlan Conf Room: Because that was the easy buck. Now let's discuss.
Okay, yeah, no particular order, feel free to speak up,
219
00:36:01.410 --> 00:36:09.699
Quinlan Conf Room: I'd love to hear your thoughts, what you're thinking
about, what you'd like to see,
220
00:36:10.120 --> 00:36:12.560
Quinlan Conf Room: From a theme, the student.
221
00:36:15.100 --> 00:36:18.069
Quinlan Conf Room: The thing that's changed for me since last year
222
00:36:18.810 --> 00:36:26.689
Quinlan Conf Room: is the traditional element that has come in, besides,
let's say, wisiveness and so on, it's AI anxiety.
223
00:36:27.410 --> 00:36:35.309
Quinlan Conf Room: It's… it's become a problem area, especially in
Cupertino, especially with computer science jobs.
224
00:36:35.460 --> 00:36:41.119
Quinlan Conf Room: being up in question, where every kid in Cupertino
thought they were going to do computer science. I'm exaggerating.
225
00:36:41.740 --> 00:36:49.110
Quinlan Conf Room: So, I always would want positive wellness, Happiness.
226
00:36:49.700 --> 00:36:58.980
Quinlan Conf Room: those teams to counter the pressure on kids and the
anxiety they have. And I'm thinking kids, adults, go figure it out.
227
00:36:59.320 --> 00:37:03.270
Quinlan Conf Room: Anyhow, that's my comment. I still don't know which
one I like, because all of them are so good.
228
00:37:03.460 --> 00:37:05.349
Quinlan Conf Room: Yeah, it looks good.
229
00:37:05.830 --> 00:37:11.550
Quinlan Conf Room: My husband, I would have, because we've done this now
a few years, few years, right?
230
00:37:11.680 --> 00:37:17.650
Quinlan Conf Room: the chair and I, of course, all of you also, through
your roles and interests and
231
00:37:17.800 --> 00:37:28.820
Quinlan Conf Room: Some of the topics that have always come across and
are very strong is the diversity, the unity, the community, going across
232
00:37:29.080 --> 00:37:44.469
Quinlan Conf Room: whatever those are, like cultures, generations,
borders, something different. Of course, art is the center. How does art
heal us, for example? How does it give us
233
00:37:44.920 --> 00:37:58.689
Quinlan Conf Room: a different perspective. I really think it heals all
of us. I really think so. The music, the dance, looking at the picture.
Absolutely. So that kind of, like, how do we use art as wellness?
234
00:37:59.240 --> 00:38:06.659
Quinlan Conf Room: This bit also comes back to what I'm just saying about
this AI anxiety is a little bit also what you're saying, but for me, it
was…
235
00:38:07.080 --> 00:38:22.840
Quinlan Conf Room: you've done all the others, can we do community and
wellness? Also, a lot of it, mental health. But we don't have to say
that, let's just say wellness. But I said maybe that's… and it… I've come
across also mayors, but…
236
00:38:23.420 --> 00:38:26.780
Quinlan Conf Room: So that kind of spoke to me.
237
00:38:26.950 --> 00:38:36.389
Quinlan Conf Room: So, I was thinking if that's something we can bring
some of the elements, I mean, some of the things are there in different
topics.
238
00:38:37.020 --> 00:38:37.850
Quinlan Conf Room: Wow.
239
00:38:38.550 --> 00:38:41.220
Quinlan Conf Room: And they all speak to me, all of them.
240
00:38:43.100 --> 00:38:59.619
Quinlan Conf Room: Just for artists. Jesper Artist Schealing to try and
capture what you were saying, if there's something different that you'd
like for us to capture, then… Yeah, so I did find my title, it was below
the end of the document. I had written, together we tried art of healthy…
241
00:39:00.640 --> 00:39:01.800
Quinlan Conf Room: Excited.
242
00:39:02.680 --> 00:39:05.350
Quinlan Conf Room: It's about thriving together.
243
00:39:05.830 --> 00:39:22.980
Quinlan Conf Room: art, and a lot of art is also together, like music and
beer, more than one musician, a theater, a movie, a dance, even a
photography is more than one, because you're a photographer, you have a
subject. So, it is a community.
244
00:39:23.550 --> 00:39:26.669
Quinlan Conf Room: Art is in community around us, right?
245
00:39:26.800 --> 00:39:30.140
Quinlan Conf Room: Art fits very well in the community.
246
00:39:31.970 --> 00:39:37.110
Quinlan Conf Room: Yeah, I think for me personally, I guess two thoughts.
One thought is.
247
00:39:37.320 --> 00:39:47.699
Quinlan Conf Room: I like a theme that… ties directly to Cupertino. Like,
I think that,
248
00:39:48.190 --> 00:39:51.879
Quinlan Conf Room: It's always challenging to strike the right balance,
but…
249
00:39:52.260 --> 00:40:03.980
Quinlan Conf Room: in my mind, I want to make sure that it's something
that's specific enough, but also not overly prescriptive. Like, for
example,
250
00:40:05.760 --> 00:40:10.629
Quinlan Conf Room: I think the ideal theme, in my mind, is something
that,
251
00:40:10.870 --> 00:40:18.380
Quinlan Conf Room: Definitely has some level of specificity. That's very
vague. But yes, that's my personal preference.
252
00:40:18.470 --> 00:40:22.099
Quinlan Conf Room: Because I think it, it, it challenges the artist.
253
00:40:22.100 --> 00:40:39.379
Quinlan Conf Room: To maybe create something different than what they
would normally create. If the theme is too broad, I think it's easy for
them to just submit what they, like, normally already make, and just say,
oh, like, it ties to the theme because XYZ, right? So that's why I err
towards the side of, like.
254
00:40:39.380 --> 00:40:45.069
Quinlan Conf Room: medium level of specificity. I think, like, last year
was a good example of that.
255
00:40:45.120 --> 00:40:56.910
Quinlan Conf Room: The second point, I really liked everything that you
said about wellness. I mean, especially because this is an area that the
mayor cares about. I think it would be fantastic for us to tie, our theme
to that as well.
256
00:41:01.490 --> 00:41:09.040
Quinlan Conf Room: Oh, okay, talking about why we chose the Cupertino
suite. Now, Cupertino developed so fast?
257
00:41:09.330 --> 00:41:26.469
Quinlan Conf Room: We have so many things going to change, from culture,
history, to building, so I'd like to see through the artist's eyes, show
the city before, now, and the future. You know, Cupertino is such a
flying city. If you want to choose one.
258
00:41:26.810 --> 00:41:31.479
Quinlan Conf Room: to represent the Cupertino landmark is very difficult.
259
00:41:31.920 --> 00:41:39.380
Quinlan Conf Room: the people always pick, maybe, apple, or something
else, right? So I like to see our pastry.
260
00:41:40.630 --> 00:41:48.769
Quinlan Conf Room: That's why I like the topic here. Something different.
And also, Do it last peak.
261
00:41:54.160 --> 00:42:00.479
Quinlan Conf Room: Yeah, that's a great idea, Christian. And also, I like
the… I love the idea of wellness, healthy life.
262
00:42:00.530 --> 00:42:09.790
Quinlan Conf Room: But I would like to, you know, point something which
is in issue, and how our artists suggest, dream, or in my stage of
solving it.
263
00:42:09.790 --> 00:42:26.710
Quinlan Conf Room: So, health can be one, city is one, but that's all we
can photograph, we can picture. How do you put your ideas, your, you
know, dreams into art? And that can be a noble thing. It's not always,
you know, what they have not done before. They have to think new. They
have to vision something.
264
00:42:26.710 --> 00:42:32.429
Quinlan Conf Room: In that case, I'll recommend health, or something
which is, like.
265
00:42:32.430 --> 00:42:52.189
Quinlan Conf Room: Like, a social media issue, or health. Health is a
very common, like, healthy wellness, by all means. That one is really
appreciated. How can they imagine of staying away from all the issues,
the depression, the emotional health, the screen time, and bring
themselves to the future? Something that can have a futuristic goal.
266
00:42:52.190 --> 00:43:07.440
Quinlan Conf Room: not just what is, but what should be, or what would
be, looking ahead. That kind of futuristic, if they can… we can bring
some… some vision into it, not just what exists, but what you think would
be in coming times. That I would love to see.
267
00:43:09.450 --> 00:43:18.050
Quinlan Conf Room: I think now that we've all shared our perspectives, I
think I'd like to focus us back on, kind of, the worst aspect.
268
00:43:18.160 --> 00:43:23.530
Quinlan Conf Room: So, yeah, I guess… Are there any…
269
00:43:24.530 --> 00:43:38.320
Quinlan Conf Room: on the board already that you feel strongly, for. I
know we've mentioned several themes, including, like, wellness.
270
00:43:38.440 --> 00:43:46.459
Quinlan Conf Room: Cupertino through time, is there any wordsmithing that
you would recommend?
271
00:43:47.000 --> 00:43:52.639
Quinlan Conf Room: To better capture, your thoughts into a theme.
272
00:43:55.110 --> 00:44:06.019
Quinlan Conf Room: I think, yeah, once we feel comfortable with how it's
worded, then I think we would want to move for actual voting. So,
273
00:44:06.570 --> 00:44:12.669
Quinlan Conf Room: I guess, speak now, or if you're a bird, love your
piece.
274
00:44:13.830 --> 00:44:16.860
Quinlan Conf Room: I'm struggling with one, which…
275
00:44:17.280 --> 00:44:23.930
Quinlan Conf Room: I didn't think of earlier, but I want to try… I want
to put that on the table. Let's not buy anything yet, okay?
276
00:44:25.450 --> 00:44:28.490
Quinlan Conf Room: There's a dream I've been saving for a day like today.
277
00:44:29.990 --> 00:44:31.610
Quinlan Conf Room: It's too long, I know.
278
00:44:32.090 --> 00:44:33.910
Quinlan Conf Room: somehow,
279
00:44:34.720 --> 00:44:51.059
Quinlan Conf Room: I mean, I feel like we can put it down. Okay, let's
put it down, let's noodle on it, then. So the… there's a dream I've been
saving for a day like today. Happens to be a 1960s Lee Hazelwood song.
And if you haven't heard it, it is a beautiful song.
280
00:44:59.730 --> 00:45:04.369
Quinlan Conf Room: Okay, apologies for deviling. Okay.
281
00:45:11.780 --> 00:45:15.270
Quinlan Conf Room: And I'm like, Two slightly different…
282
00:45:15.730 --> 00:45:24.670
Quinlan Conf Room: angles for my number 15. So I would just recommend
either just putting it behind 50, I don't know whether you want to put
the new…
283
00:45:24.790 --> 00:45:30.290
Quinlan Conf Room: Doesn't matter to you? Okay. So, one was, nature
nurtures
284
00:45:30.760 --> 00:45:34.679
Quinlan Conf Room: It is about it, but obviously, as the name says.
285
00:45:35.050 --> 00:45:38.950
Quinlan Conf Room: And the other one for…
286
00:45:48.920 --> 00:45:53.160
Quinlan Conf Room: I hope that's odd.
287
00:45:53.340 --> 00:45:54.280
Quinlan Conf Room: That's…
288
00:45:56.190 --> 00:46:02.669
Quinlan Conf Room: But I had the word tried somewhere, the art of healthy
community… I had the word, together we tried, in front of that.
289
00:46:02.830 --> 00:46:08.210
Quinlan Conf Room: 15, the number 15 has, like, a… something… number 15?
290
00:46:08.960 --> 00:46:13.829
Quinlan Conf Room: Yeah, I had, together we try.
291
00:46:14.240 --> 00:46:18.979
Quinlan Conf Room: And then it continues to… I did want to put Thrive in
together.
292
00:46:19.670 --> 00:46:30.399
Quinlan Conf Room: Dash out of country? Like, oh, it had a goal, a dash,
dash is fine. We could wordsmith that, but I did want to try. And is it
own nature nurtures or Natured Nurtures?
293
00:46:30.880 --> 00:46:37.040
Quinlan Conf Room: Nature nodules. Nature nurture. Yeah. Again, we could
force with it. Oh yeah, I had nature nurture.
294
00:46:42.850 --> 00:46:46.619
Quinlan Conf Room: Only added them, rather than reduce them.
295
00:46:47.600 --> 00:46:55.630
Quinlan Conf Room: I'd like to modify number 10 that I have proposed to
My Happy Glaze, My Happy Glaze in Cupertino.
296
00:47:15.010 --> 00:47:19.880
Quinlan Conf Room: 3 proposals, spins on the wellness.
297
00:47:19.990 --> 00:47:23.799
Quinlan Conf Room: One is a moment of peace.
298
00:47:26.010 --> 00:47:30.929
Quinlan Conf Room: 2 is taking care of me.
299
00:47:32.080 --> 00:47:37.520
Quinlan Conf Room: And then 3 is… Shoot.
300
00:47:37.960 --> 00:47:51.120
Quinlan Conf Room: Remembering in Cupertino. Yes. It's funny, I'm
distracting you now.
301
00:47:54.330 --> 00:47:56.640
Quinlan Conf Room: Walnuts and Cupertino.
302
00:48:17.840 --> 00:48:19.779
Quinlan Conf Room: Have… how many of them? 20?
303
00:48:19.930 --> 00:48:30.820
Quinlan Conf Room: And it's expanding. Well, I mean, Commissioner Chen,
Commissioner Ponda, any wordsmithing that you'd like to,
304
00:48:31.430 --> 00:48:33.939
Quinlan Conf Room: Bring up before we go into voting.
305
00:48:34.850 --> 00:48:43.689
Quinlan Conf Room: There's too many not. I'm sticking to one. No more,
yeah, make simple, just one. Okay.
306
00:48:45.310 --> 00:49:02.579
Quinlan Conf Room: Yeah, I believe Cupertino is default, it's understood,
like, the same theme applies to a city. So something like what I would
suggest, peace, health, wellness. I don't have exactly the order or the
style, right? But if you can incorporate these three things, peace,
health, wellness.
307
00:49:03.910 --> 00:49:07.870
Quinlan Conf Room: Yeah, I was thinking of making it more rhythmic.
308
00:49:07.990 --> 00:49:22.430
Quinlan Conf Room: Let me think more. But I want to say something which
very pathways does health and wellness by all means. Like, it's not just
health, mind, spiritual, society, financial, social, everything
inclusive. How do we make it holistic?
309
00:49:25.380 --> 00:49:28.230
Quinlan Conf Room: Wellness, by all means. Nay.
310
00:49:28.350 --> 00:49:36.080
Quinlan Conf Room: This, yeah, some topic has to be easily understood for
everyone.
311
00:49:36.280 --> 00:49:48.550
Quinlan Conf Room: Right. Especially for the young artists. Right. But
when you have a general topic, it gets more score. If you define it very,
like, word-wise, then you're limiting.
312
00:49:48.730 --> 00:49:53.119
Quinlan Conf Room: In some ways, Let's think a little bit more.
313
00:49:54.680 --> 00:49:59.139
Quinlan Conf Room: In the interest of time, I'd like to propose…
314
00:49:59.580 --> 00:50:16.700
Quinlan Conf Room: why don't we all pick maybe our two favorite themes,
like the specific lines, and then we can go around in a circle and
nominate them, and then that can help us down-select, and I think once we
down-select
315
00:50:16.700 --> 00:50:21.790
Quinlan Conf Room: The first round, then we can do a final voting round,
if it's still not…
316
00:50:22.710 --> 00:50:30.609
Quinlan Conf Room: So, yeah, maybe let's give everyone a couple of
minutes to decide which two they want to vote for.
317
00:50:33.460 --> 00:50:35.189
Quinlan Conf Room: Since that submission spelled.
318
00:50:42.780 --> 00:50:53.050
Quinlan Conf Room: Yeah, can you, just for ease of viewing, can you maybe
copy the bottom half and post it in, like, column C? Sensitive in a
little bit?
319
00:50:57.350 --> 00:50:58.190
Quinlan Conf Room: Yep.
320
00:51:10.930 --> 00:51:14.269
Quinlan Conf Room: Because everybody's watching.
321
00:51:45.000 --> 00:51:45.820
Quinlan Conf Room: Sweep.
322
00:51:53.580 --> 00:51:55.340
Quinlan Conf Room: Don't talk, you could buy it.
323
00:51:55.510 --> 00:51:57.669
Quinlan Conf Room: Similar. Yeah, yes.
324
00:52:17.660 --> 00:52:23.190
Quinlan Conf Room: Okay, maybe show pronounce who's ready to… who's
picked their two.
325
00:52:24.910 --> 00:52:31.699
Quinlan Conf Room: Can I ask more… just one more topic, just one simple
word? Healthy me. Just write, if you can, healthy me.
326
00:52:31.800 --> 00:52:33.099
Quinlan Conf Room: Healthy meat.
327
00:52:36.640 --> 00:52:38.030
Quinlan Conf Room: You said 2 or 3.
328
00:52:38.390 --> 00:52:47.160
Quinlan Conf Room: Let's try to do two. What if you said it in the
suggested way? Yes, yes, I suggested one.
329
00:52:50.750 --> 00:53:02.300
Quinlan Conf Room: So if I can make a suggestion, what, Jess and I think
might help with picking your two is, like, naming, you know, number 7 and
number 9, for instance, right?
330
00:53:02.310 --> 00:53:10.849
Quinlan Conf Room: And then we will delete column C for the time being,
and then we will tally stroke, and then that way we can see, kind of…
331
00:53:11.010 --> 00:53:16.469
Quinlan Conf Room: And, you know, hopefully from there, just continue to…
332
00:53:17.270 --> 00:53:21.730
Quinlan Conf Room: get a little bit narrower scope. Does that work for
everybody? Sure. Okay, test.
333
00:53:22.920 --> 00:53:26.360
Quinlan Conf Room: So if you want to highlight Bonsai for the 10… Hang
on.
334
00:53:27.300 --> 00:53:33.020
Quinlan Conf Room: Are you guys ready? Who still needs time to select
your two?
335
00:53:34.120 --> 00:53:41.090
Quinlan Conf Room: No. I can't. I guess nobody needs to. Okay, cool.
Let's go ahead then.
336
00:53:41.920 --> 00:53:45.680
Quinlan Conf Room: So it must be in a slightly different spot, just
because…
337
00:53:45.990 --> 00:53:53.689
Quinlan Conf Room: I've seen it in one less versus two. Let's go reverse
order this time. Okay.
338
00:53:53.960 --> 00:54:03.950
Quinlan Conf Room: Okay, he didn't get big glasses.
339
00:54:04.130 --> 00:54:13.859
Quinlan Conf Room: We need a lot of what you need for the room. Can you
just go down? There are a couple of nice jobs in the end, so…
340
00:54:18.870 --> 00:54:22.619
Quinlan Conf Room: I'll have to name a moment of peace. That's number
one.
341
00:54:24.470 --> 00:54:31.230
Quinlan Conf Room: And, just a suggestion, the number 15th one, if I can
make it a little shorter, Art of Healthy Communities.
342
00:54:31.280 --> 00:54:38.860
Quinlan Conf Room: Together is understood, I feel. The little word, art
of healthy communities, is very, very impressive. Beautiful.
343
00:54:38.910 --> 00:54:52.919
Quinlan Conf Room: These two. Art of Healthy Community? So, the week
together, right? No, no, I don't believe… I don't know who suggested, but
from just a suggestion, if we want to choose that, together we have, if
we can remove it, Art of Healthy Communities, that will be the…
344
00:54:53.040 --> 00:55:08.929
Quinlan Conf Room: May I say this? Because I… I see, I see. For now,
let's just give the vote, we can still do the… Then we can do both. Sure,
sure, sure, sure. It's not cast in stones. Sure. So, yeah, a moment of
peace.
345
00:55:11.380 --> 00:55:14.330
Quinlan Conf Room: And then 15, I think. And 15, yes, 15, yes.
346
00:55:16.860 --> 00:55:18.460
Quinlan Conf Room: Okay, Commissioner Chen?
347
00:55:18.600 --> 00:55:24.349
Quinlan Conf Room: Number 6, number 10. Boast about Cupertino.
348
00:55:24.470 --> 00:55:26.700
Quinlan Conf Room: Very consistent.
349
00:55:26.830 --> 00:55:32.510
Quinlan Conf Room: do it forward. And then I forgot the numbers, but I'd
like to vote a moment of peace.
350
00:55:32.970 --> 00:55:35.660
Quinlan Conf Room: And then also,
351
00:55:36.470 --> 00:55:44.220
Quinlan Conf Room: Oh my gosh. What did I… I can't read my own
handwriting. Oh, a day in Cupertino, 12.
352
00:55:49.260 --> 00:55:50.910
Quinlan Conf Room: For me, it's the 15th.
353
00:55:52.320 --> 00:55:54.760
Quinlan Conf Room: And it's number 19 taken care of.
354
00:55:59.210 --> 00:56:02.050
Quinlan Conf Room: Number 10 and number AG.
355
00:56:04.140 --> 00:56:08.710
Quinlan Conf Room: A moment of peace here. That is a global… Okay.
356
00:56:09.340 --> 00:56:25.790
Quinlan Conf Room: So why don't we filter and just remove anything that
didn't get any votes, and then maybe we can do one more round, and… I
mean, it already sounds like number 8 has the most… 18, number 18. You
changed? No, no, in fact, the number.
357
00:56:25.980 --> 00:56:46.409
Quinlan Conf Room: Okay, yes. No, I see, no, I see, I was thinking of
waiting. Just works fast. LinkedIn. Okay, but I guess just to not bias
us, can we just… can we do one more column of voting? Right. Now that
we've got it selected, sort of.
358
00:56:50.480 --> 00:56:59.330
Quinlan Conf Room: Okay, and this time, let's select one, that Begins you
going. Yeah, let's do one. Okay, let's give everyone a minute to select
your one. Yes.
359
00:57:25.650 --> 00:57:29.660
Quinlan Conf Room: Okay, does anyone need more time?
360
00:57:31.310 --> 00:57:32.210
Quinlan Conf Room: Okay?
361
00:57:32.730 --> 00:57:34.189
Quinlan Conf Room: Why don't we vote?
362
00:57:34.460 --> 00:57:36.860
Quinlan Conf Room: Moment of weeks, number 8.
363
00:57:41.340 --> 00:57:43.389
Quinlan Conf Room: Members… 6.
364
00:57:46.680 --> 00:57:48.020
Quinlan Conf Room: Number 8.
365
00:57:55.090 --> 00:57:56.399
Quinlan Conf Room: I'll go with 7.
366
00:57:57.870 --> 00:58:08.870
Quinlan Conf Room: Or they'll do, like, some of the others. Especially,
all these wellness funds for me are all very similar. Very similar, yeah,
they're very similar, so…
367
00:58:13.780 --> 00:58:14.880
Quinlan Conf Room: Number 8.
368
00:58:15.180 --> 00:58:26.269
Quinlan Conf Room: But, I have to say, peaceful, easy feeling by the
Eagles can be the theme song for this.
369
00:58:28.470 --> 00:58:43.430
Quinlan Conf Room: I mean, I think all of these are fantastic. Great job,
great job to the Water Commission, brainstorming. Technically, we already
do have a majority for one of them.
370
00:58:43.430 --> 00:58:48.579
Quinlan Conf Room: It does seem like the group is leaning towards number
8. I guess…
371
00:58:48.630 --> 00:58:58.999
Quinlan Conf Room: do we feel comfortable, I guess, having that as our
official theme for the year? Yes, yes, yes, yes. My only comment is, I
mean.
372
00:58:59.120 --> 00:59:05.679
Quinlan Conf Room: as I said, for me, all of them were very similar. The
moment of peace, but do we want to…
373
00:59:06.080 --> 00:59:13.000
Quinlan Conf Room: described it anything more, any other word, or we are…
I don't know that. I just want to make sure…
374
00:59:13.860 --> 00:59:33.080
Quinlan Conf Room: Yeah, just wanted to connect the way we are all
thinking about wellness, rather than peace in the world or something.
Also, we have the new ones, we have the new ones also, so we'll also have
to go to the new ones. This is a part one of it, right? There's another
new one section also. We have to select from that also. No? I thought…
375
00:59:33.080 --> 00:59:36.569
Quinlan Conf Room: We have a part 2 of selection. Why did you remove the
new words?
376
00:59:36.570 --> 00:59:41.070
Quinlan Conf Room: Oh, I'm sorry, I might have missed that one. Can we…
there was another section, right?
377
00:59:41.070 --> 01:00:00.419
Quinlan Conf Room: No, this is what we selected from all the 20. Yeah.
Oh, really? This is what we were trying to… No, that's it. There is
something. I do totally see your point, though. A moment of peace could
totally be, like, interpreted as, like, psychological wellness piece.
Correct.
378
01:00:00.590 --> 01:00:04.649
Quinlan Conf Room: That's the reason why I was a little bit hesitating to
monitor it.
379
01:00:06.430 --> 01:00:12.600
Quinlan Conf Room: It sounds so good, but the message is lost. Yes,
correct. Or it could be…
380
01:00:12.980 --> 01:00:20.380
Quinlan Conf Room: interpreted in different… many different ways. On the
positive, you can interpret it in any way.
381
01:00:20.480 --> 01:00:38.290
Quinlan Conf Room: But if people have been watching CNN too much, then
it's, like, world peace. No, maybe we can add something to make it more,
comprehensive. But that was my concern.
382
01:00:46.670 --> 01:00:48.740
Quinlan Conf Room: Anybody want to fire up a clock?
383
01:00:48.810 --> 01:01:08.080
Quinlan Conf Room: Something like, you know, when you're healthy, you
become peaceful. We got from 60s themes here. Love, peace, and… Let me
just say…
384
01:01:08.180 --> 01:01:17.000
Quinlan Conf Room: That's why taking care of me was very clear to me.
That's what I voted for in the initial one. And it was coming to the
whole wellness
385
01:01:17.870 --> 01:01:24.349
Quinlan Conf Room: either me or helping myself, serve in the community,
so…
386
01:01:24.550 --> 01:01:38.999
Quinlan Conf Room: Yeah. Well, it has to be authentic. We will take
inputs. Well, okay, so, I mean, one option could literally be wellness,
colon, please.
387
01:01:40.900 --> 01:01:41.970
Quinlan Conf Room: Yes.
388
01:01:53.430 --> 01:01:57.340
Quinlan Conf Room: The scale or nurture, can we show that in somehow?
389
01:02:09.820 --> 01:02:16.200
Quinlan Conf Room: Sorry, what was that? No, I just said some words, is
care…
390
01:02:18.220 --> 01:02:20.359
Quinlan Conf Room: Then we put it in something to do with it.
391
01:02:21.480 --> 01:02:24.290
Quinlan Conf Room: Taking care of me in that, in that stage.
392
01:02:29.740 --> 01:02:33.369
Quinlan Conf Room: Now, here's one, a moment of peace and renewal.
393
01:02:33.760 --> 01:02:36.900
Quinlan Conf Room: Sounds a little too formal, but… yeah.
394
01:02:37.450 --> 01:02:38.970
Quinlan Conf Room: A moment to breathe.
395
01:02:40.290 --> 01:02:42.359
Quinlan Conf Room: Or abundantly.
396
01:02:42.870 --> 01:02:47.930
Quinlan Conf Room: That's more. That's a moment or correct, right?
397
01:02:48.230 --> 01:02:49.660
Quinlan Conf Room: Yeah.
398
01:02:59.030 --> 01:03:16.460
Quinlan Conf Room: Can I make a proposal? Yeah, sure. Can we take a vote
on taking care of me? It's called, I thought we were thinking about the
same. Hey, same thing.
399
01:03:17.640 --> 01:03:20.290
Quinlan Conf Room: This is one that resonates, the healing pause.
400
01:03:22.420 --> 01:03:28.819
Quinlan Conf Room: Anyway, there's… some of these are almost cheesy, but…
healing powers.
401
01:03:30.610 --> 01:03:32.360
Quinlan Conf Room: Josh, could be.
402
01:03:33.130 --> 01:03:35.150
Quinlan Conf Room: visuals,
403
01:03:35.270 --> 01:03:42.799
Quinlan Conf Room: A moment of calm. Please, calm. I'm telling you, we
need to stay that query and talk with the people there.
404
01:03:44.090 --> 01:03:55.339
Quinlan Conf Room: But in my mind, these are all, like, like, sub… sub-
lines from that one, from line 8. I don't actually do them, it's like… It
is.
405
01:03:55.960 --> 01:04:00.830
Quinlan Conf Room: Yeah, that's… Definitely regulated.
406
01:04:02.530 --> 01:04:14.349
Quinlan Conf Room: So what I hear you saying is wellness, semicolon, a
moment of… Does that work? And then you have 3 different options right
now. No, sorry. What I meant was…
407
01:04:15.150 --> 01:04:22.370
Quinlan Conf Room: I view 8… 10, 11, 12, as all basically the same thing,
just like…
408
01:04:22.490 --> 01:04:25.580
Quinlan Conf Room: Different ways of working the same thing.
409
01:04:36.580 --> 01:04:43.489
Quinlan Conf Room: Something… some part is missing. Like, everything is,
like, almost perfect, but nothing is, like, complete misuse like that.
410
01:04:44.520 --> 01:04:48.580
Quinlan Conf Room: Oh, I'm… can I copy something? So, what is,
411
01:04:50.380 --> 01:04:54.400
Quinlan Conf Room: A moment of… a moment of peace where wellness grows.
412
01:04:54.580 --> 01:04:56.650
Quinlan Conf Room: That causes rare balance grows.
413
01:04:57.490 --> 01:04:58.699
Quinlan Conf Room: In the tribe.
414
01:05:02.950 --> 01:05:05.579
Quinlan Conf Room: Groves, right? Sorry.
415
01:05:07.460 --> 01:05:11.240
Quinlan Conf Room: This is a dash or something of the piece. Dash or
gold.
416
01:05:13.170 --> 01:05:14.570
Quinlan Conf Room: In number 30.
417
01:05:16.690 --> 01:05:20.690
Quinlan Conf Room: It is that they're putting the wellness word back in
the title.
418
01:05:21.170 --> 01:05:23.090
Quinlan Conf Room: But something that sounds nice.
419
01:05:24.900 --> 01:05:34.780
Quinlan Conf Room: Okay, sorry, we've kind of, we've kind of messed up
our flow, but let's just go with it. We're going there, we're going,
we're getting there.
420
01:05:35.090 --> 01:05:36.490
Quinlan Conf Room: Like, I think…
421
01:05:36.690 --> 01:05:43.739
Quinlan Conf Room: Purely from voting, I think we were ready for a moment
of peace, but I think Commissioner Varwin did bring up, like, a very,
very fair complaint.
422
01:05:43.740 --> 01:05:57.750
Quinlan Conf Room: that it could have easily been interpreted in, like, a
totally different direction from what we as a commission had intended.
So, even though this process hasn't been as smooth, I do think it's a…
423
01:05:57.750 --> 01:06:08.140
Quinlan Conf Room: valid discussion. Right, right. That being said, can
we go through with this list again, and again, vote for one each?
424
01:06:08.380 --> 01:06:23.789
Quinlan Conf Room: Okay? Yeah. May I ask that, do we need the number 9
and below, or are these 9, 10, 11, 12? I would propose we don't meet
them. They're too close. I mean, we just threw them out.
425
01:06:23.790 --> 01:06:33.160
Quinlan Conf Room: I am okay removing… I mean, they are a little bit
different, but I'm personally okay removing it. What do the others think?
426
01:06:33.580 --> 01:06:41.660
Quinlan Conf Room: Keep them with 13 total. Yeah, but 13 I would like to
keep all the time. Okay, there. Yeah.
427
01:06:41.900 --> 01:06:46.109
Quinlan Conf Room: The 9th through 12, maybe let's just hide those. Yeah,
those are the repetitive.
428
01:06:51.380 --> 01:06:53.950
Quinlan Conf Room: Okay, sorry. Where's our list? Okay.
429
01:06:54.620 --> 01:06:57.250
Quinlan Conf Room: One last time. One for each, please.
430
01:07:01.340 --> 01:07:04.490
Quinlan Conf Room: One each, right? Yes, one each phase.
431
01:07:05.350 --> 01:07:08.039
Quinlan Conf Room: Can we start again with you, Commissioner Plada?
432
01:07:08.950 --> 01:07:19.610
Quinlan Conf Room: Can I say one? If it doesn't worsen, that's fine. And
both peace and health. Peacefully healthy. Peacefully healthy.
433
01:07:19.730 --> 01:07:21.520
Quinlan Conf Room: Last for telephone.
434
01:07:22.660 --> 01:07:24.500
Quinlan Conf Room: Peaceful.
435
01:07:24.910 --> 01:07:30.529
Quinlan Conf Room: Fully healthy. Healthy. Or healthy. Peaceful, hell,
no, okay, fine, peacefully healthy.
436
01:07:31.010 --> 01:07:33.180
Quinlan Conf Room: Okay, please.
437
01:07:34.100 --> 01:07:37.169
Quinlan Conf Room: Okay, and that's your vote? Yes, yes.
438
01:07:39.590 --> 01:07:41.340
Quinlan Conf Room: Alright, Commissioner Chen?
439
01:07:41.670 --> 01:07:48.990
Quinlan Conf Room: Still number 6. Simple, straightforward. Is that,
number 8 for me?
440
01:07:50.220 --> 01:07:55.330
Quinlan Conf Room: Suntay, but… Oh, tell us about it.
441
01:07:55.510 --> 01:07:57.010
Quinlan Conf Room: That's the exploiting.
442
01:08:03.690 --> 01:08:18.549
Quinlan Conf Room: I'm gonna throw a wrench in this. 7. No, I've got even
at 6 now. Which one is that? Oh, nice. Yeah. Okay. Yeah, and there's a
reason, when there's a moment of peace, it's a little bit of…
443
01:08:19.050 --> 01:08:31.130
Quinlan Conf Room: Wellness is this, and then a moment is a piece, right?
So, wellness is more holistic. Maybe a little bit of wordsmithing there.
But we are struggling, of course.
444
01:08:31.390 --> 01:08:33.710
Quinlan Conf Room: Because it's in the top tube, right? So…
445
01:08:33.710 --> 01:08:51.469
Quinlan Conf Room: Let's see if we can do a little wordsmithing, and then
fick between these two. Yeah, can we hide the ones that didn't get any
first? Yeah. It seems like we have three left ones. We can, yeah, fine-
tune the wording. Fine-tune some wording, and see whether we can… Right.
446
01:08:51.470 --> 01:08:54.990
Quinlan Conf Room: And we had number 8 until we didn't. Yeah.
447
01:08:55.609 --> 01:08:56.399
Quinlan Conf Room: Pretty good.
448
01:08:58.240 --> 01:09:05.289
Quinlan Conf Room: Which one is the right? Now it's changing. Now it's
changing, now it's changing.
449
01:09:05.439 --> 01:09:18.059
Quinlan Conf Room: And then we tried to change it, and we… Thank you,
Jessica, you're doing a great job. Thank you, Jessica. You did a great
job. You both are very patient. You are, like, you are confused. You find
signal in the noise. Yes.
450
01:09:18.420 --> 01:09:28.449
Quinlan Conf Room: I imagine this is how a teacher feels in, like,
elementary school. I know. Turning cats.
451
01:09:29.479 --> 01:09:31.729
Quinlan Conf Room: Okay. No, let's see.
452
01:09:32.069 --> 01:09:42.430
Quinlan Conf Room: I think wellness… The last one you can remove, because
I think it's not like… Whoa. Yeah, peacefully held, you can remove them.
If it's only mine, let's remove all the ones that we have. Let's redo it.
453
01:09:43.090 --> 01:09:44.899
Quinlan Conf Room: Perfect. Perfect.
454
01:09:47.850 --> 01:10:04.949
Quinlan Conf Room: So, alright. I don't want to give any negative, but
the happy place in Cupertino kind of, got me thinking they might just
draw a place. Yeah. Is that what you're looking for? That concerns me
too. I mean… A playground? You could… you could argue, I mean, that is…
455
01:10:05.070 --> 01:10:21.210
Quinlan Conf Room: That's okay, yeah. Like, that is reflective of what
they view as, like, a type of stuff. Okay, yeah, okay. But yes, I mean,
the submissions probably wouldn't be as diverse, right?
456
01:10:22.200 --> 01:10:29.209
Quinlan Conf Room: Or it could be, I mean could be, you know, something
like that, right? Allah.
457
01:10:29.210 --> 01:10:42.370
Quinlan Conf Room: So we have two votes for two different items, and you
volunteered to take yours out, so if you were voting…
458
01:10:47.260 --> 01:10:51.110
Quinlan Conf Room: I just got all the right samples.
459
01:10:51.530 --> 01:10:53.120
Quinlan Conf Room: Tyvek amount.
460
01:10:54.970 --> 01:11:05.120
Quinlan Conf Room: Both are so enchanting, like, both makes sense. But if
given, like, what we were discussing in wellness, I'll go with wellness
then. Wellness, a moment of peace, SPH.
461
01:11:06.580 --> 01:11:09.680
Quinlan Conf Room: Okay, I think we have a decision. I think we have a
decision.
462
01:11:10.670 --> 01:11:29.170
Quinlan Conf Room: again, I think… But I'll request a little bit of
change, if we can do a little bit of some… some edits. Let's focus on
this. Yes, that one, yes. If we can edit a little bit, because there's
something, like, slight, like, flavor missing. If we can… if we can
select it, but we can make a little bit of update somewhere, that…
that's… that'd be perfect. Yeah.
463
01:11:29.890 --> 01:11:34.169
Quinlan Conf Room: Okay, any suggested edits?
464
01:11:39.400 --> 01:11:55.079
Quinlan Conf Room: And I do want to remind you that we will need,
eventually, a motion. Yes, yes, yes, we're getting better.
465
01:11:55.640 --> 01:11:57.670
Quinlan Conf Room: Meeting is on its way.
466
01:12:01.700 --> 01:12:18.760
Quinlan Conf Room: Yeah, I guess for the record, I am happy with the
warning as is, but please, if you have a proposed slight edit, please
share it. Yeah, let's think. I mean, I'm not objecting, but I think if we
can make it a little better, somehow, let's think. Let's think. Let's
give it one minute.
467
01:12:22.120 --> 01:12:37.899
Quinlan Conf Room: I tried to erase the full discussion and just read
that now, and it looks pretty good. It does convey what we were thinking.
Right, right. I agree, I agree. The message is conveyed very well. I was
trying to be more perfect, and perfect can be more, but… Sure.
468
01:12:39.360 --> 01:12:42.180
Quinlan Conf Room: But I was just connecting, aha's moment of peace.
469
01:12:42.320 --> 01:12:54.479
Quinlan Conf Room: with wellness, like, it has to be mixed, like, make
sense. Wellness, peace, joy, some, like, a little bit of sense together.
How is wellness a moment of peace? That's what I was thinking.
470
01:12:55.880 --> 01:12:58.370
Quinlan Conf Room: It's wellness through a moment of peace.
471
01:12:58.840 --> 01:13:01.430
Quinlan Conf Room: The idea of that tongue.
472
01:13:03.290 --> 01:13:05.400
Quinlan Conf Room: Yes.
473
01:13:06.920 --> 01:13:10.890
Quinlan Conf Room: There's a few suggestions… You don't need it, that's
what it's saying. …that I'm reading here.
474
01:13:11.520 --> 01:13:12.740
Quinlan Conf Room: Business?
475
01:13:13.070 --> 01:13:19.319
Quinlan Conf Room: Finding peace in the moment. Now, that… that does not
align with the theme.
476
01:13:23.360 --> 01:13:39.350
Quinlan Conf Room: I think that's good, then. I think we should… No,
through is a little extra. She was just explaining it, yes. It's been a…
I support it. It's been a very… Yes. Can we get a mustard? Yes. Yes, I
make the motion.
477
01:13:39.590 --> 01:13:52.390
Quinlan Conf Room: I second it. Please state the motion. For the Artist
Awards program theme for 2026 as wellness colon, A Moment of Peace.
478
01:13:52.540 --> 01:13:54.449
Quinlan Conf Room: I happily seconded.
479
01:13:55.870 --> 01:13:57.280
Quinlan Conf Room: In the motion, I mean.
480
01:13:57.400 --> 01:14:04.610
Quinlan Conf Room: Yes, yes. All right. Oh, sorry. Commissioner Chen?
Commissioner Aurora?
481
01:14:04.780 --> 01:14:12.259
Quinlan Conf Room: Aye. Commissioner Amanda? Yes, ma'am. Vice Chair
Lamba? Yes. Chair Wayne? Yes. Motion carries unanimously.
482
01:14:13.070 --> 01:14:22.599
Quinlan Conf Room: Thank you for your hard work. I love that it fits in
with the mayor's initiatives, and it's a little… we really tried to stay
quiet over here.
483
01:14:22.600 --> 01:14:34.560
Quinlan Conf Room: But it is true to, really, the initiatives that Parks
and Recreation Department does every year in wellness and quality of
life, so it's a little extra special for us this year, so thank you.
Perfect.
484
01:14:37.850 --> 01:14:49.400
Quinlan Conf Room: Great job, too. Great job, Jessica. Thank you. Yes,
yes. Thank you for patience, all girls, really. Facilitating so
wonderful.
485
01:14:49.830 --> 01:14:50.740
Quinlan Conf Room: Visit?
486
01:14:51.080 --> 01:15:15.909
Quinlan Conf Room: Yes, I think we're done with this topic, and then, so
the next time that we'll see you both will be at our, is it the October
meeting? No, no, no, August. September. Okay, so you will not be coming
back for September, but the, the submissions will be… the application
will be open then, and then you'll come back in November for us to select
the winners. Correct.
487
01:15:15.910 --> 01:15:26.580
Quinlan Conf Room: So, you already closed the slide, right? Yes. So just
to clarify, the Artist Awards, will open on Tuesday, September 1st.
488
01:15:26.850 --> 01:15:42.320
Quinlan Conf Room: And they'll close on October 1st at 4 30. Staff will
then organize and compile everything, so that way it gets to a point
where it's, you know, manageable for you to go ahead and start to
evaluate and select your,
489
01:15:43.080 --> 01:15:57.129
Quinlan Conf Room: recommended winners. We will be back at your November
meeting to facilitate a similar discussion based on the number of entries
that are received. And then, as you know, we're planning for a January,
490
01:15:57.170 --> 01:16:09.070
Quinlan Conf Room: ceremony, and that gives us time over that period to
reach out to all of the winners, you know, to coordinate all the
logistics that go with that, and to… and to get everybody there in
January after the holidays.
491
01:16:09.460 --> 01:16:21.689
Quinlan Conf Room: I do have a question. Oh, please. On this topic,
please, before we move on. Okay, so, in terms of next steps and
operations, so, I saw the draft of the flyer, that's excellent.
492
01:16:21.900 --> 01:16:24.110
Quinlan Conf Room: When can we have…
493
01:16:24.110 --> 01:16:49.100
Quinlan Conf Room: So, our, coordinator that does all of our marketing
and stuff is off this week, so it will not be this week. But he knows
that this is coming, that, it's gonna be one of his first orders of
business when he returns to work. So I'm hopeful by the end of that first
week, full week of August, that we will have something.
494
01:16:49.100 --> 01:17:02.050
Quinlan Conf Room: That is ready to start to go to print and stuff, we
can start to make the edits to the website, and get that prepared, but
for the flyer and stuff, we'll need to be done, by our graphic artist,
so…
495
01:17:02.050 --> 01:17:16.879
Quinlan Conf Room: I… we can let you know when everything's available and
send you a copy as well, but as you know, we'll have the flyers at all of
our public facilities, and if you need a… if you need a handful or
whatever, just let us know, and when we're ready.
496
01:17:16.880 --> 01:17:22.300
Quinlan Conf Room: we can print you a few, and you can, you know, swing
by and pick them up, etc. So I'm thinking a couple weeks out.
497
01:17:22.300 --> 01:17:31.749
Quinlan Conf Room: At most. Yeah, please, please send us an email when
the website's updated and when the physical materials are ready. Yeah, I
think, please,
498
01:17:32.140 --> 01:17:44.390
Quinlan Conf Room: Once we get the materials, please publicize the event
to your networks. We want to make sure as many different, groups and
artists are represented as possible. Yes.
499
01:17:44.530 --> 01:17:55.259
Quinlan Conf Room: So, on that, Chair Van, we have a list of all studios
in Cupertino and organizations.
500
01:17:55.540 --> 01:18:06.950
Quinlan Conf Room: So, you know, I'm going to personally walk a couple
places through this, especially Ceramic Studios, because they are not
represented at all in submissions. Yeah, so one is Wilson Park.
501
01:18:06.950 --> 01:18:17.939
Quinlan Conf Room: I've already talked with Lisa Molero, who, does the
teaching out there, and also there's a private, commercial studio here,
ceramic studio.
502
01:18:17.940 --> 01:18:21.850
Quinlan Conf Room: But, is there a way we can
503
01:18:21.920 --> 01:18:36.949
Quinlan Conf Room: See, we can send emails to each other together, okay?
That while it's a brown act, but is there a way we can share that list of
studios with this commission, so that each person can go target them?
One, you know, our commissioners?
504
01:18:37.230 --> 01:18:56.090
Quinlan Conf Room: Any… any thoughts on that? Yes. Wait, has the list not
been shared with the whole Commission? I guess we've shared it on screen,
but it hasn't been sent. Okay. So, after this, why don't we send the list
over to John and Shelby? Good. And then you can help…
505
01:18:56.090 --> 01:19:10.010
Quinlan Conf Room: disseminate without us getting in trouble, right? But
if we disseminate the list of organizations and scripts, then all of us
can
506
01:19:10.010 --> 01:19:19.900
Quinlan Conf Room: By some means, if you can allocate each other, that we
don't, you know, do this duplicate of sending and connecting, so we can
share, and it's like division of labor as well. Yeah, I mean…
507
01:19:20.250 --> 01:19:40.320
Quinlan Conf Room: I think coordination gets a little challenging with
Brown Act, but why don't we just say, John and Shelby will help
disseminate the list. I mean, it can even just be an email. And even if
it's duplicate, don't worry about it. Yeah, and then maybe go ahead, if
there's a couple that you want to reach out to, just reach out to them,
and maybe send John and Shelby a note.
508
01:19:40.320 --> 01:19:41.590
Quinlan Conf Room: And then…
509
01:19:41.590 --> 01:20:00.720
Quinlan Conf Room: Yeah, I mean, you can decide if it seems like
literally everyone's reaching out to the same people, maybe just let us
know. Yeah. And one more, which is schools. Yes. Okay, art teachers in
schools. Well, you have a list of that? No, we don't have that. Okay, so
if anybody has
510
01:20:00.800 --> 01:20:04.200
Quinlan Conf Room: direct communication at any Cupertino-based
511
01:20:04.510 --> 01:20:11.969
Quinlan Conf Room: schools, right? We can't go to Cupertino High, for
example, that's… Sanity, right? I think that'll be good. So, okay.
512
01:20:12.030 --> 01:20:29.370
Quinlan Conf Room: Yeah, please leverage your networks. Just remember,
the zip code has to be 95014. Got it. Yes. Yep, yep, yep. Thank you,
everybody, for being patient with us. Thanks, Jessica. We will try to get
John an update of numbers, for your September meeting.
513
01:20:29.370 --> 01:20:32.750
Quinlan Conf Room: Kind of give you enough data as the program comes to a
close?
514
01:20:33.690 --> 01:20:36.430
Quinlan Conf Room: We'll let you all know. Thank you.
515
01:20:37.000 --> 01:20:39.480
Quinlan Conf Room: Thank you so much.
516
01:20:40.230 --> 01:20:54.560
Quinlan Conf Room: Oh, we're not that. But yes, we have a couple quick
items for the rest of us to go through. First is staff and reports.
Shelbyson, not any staff reports.
517
01:20:54.560 --> 01:21:11.290
Quinlan Conf Room: So, for those of you who haven't met me, I'm Shelby
Maples. I'm another planner. I'm just subbing in for John this week. He's
very fortunately in Italy right now. I do not have anything to report,
but I will work with John to get you guys that list.
518
01:21:11.420 --> 01:21:30.129
Quinlan Conf Room: And yeah, I was not provided with anything to share as
far as updates or reports. Okay. In terms of Commissioner reports, quick
update from my side. So, we've had two Mayor Meetings since our last,
Arts and Culture Commission meeting, so we had
519
01:21:30.430 --> 01:21:38.459
Quinlan Conf Room: a mayor's Meeting on May 20th, which was 2 days after
our May, mission Meeting, and then we had another one July 15th.
520
01:21:38.520 --> 01:21:54.209
Quinlan Conf Room: On the May 20th meeting, as a reminder, this is a
meeting that's attended by the chairs of each commission. If the chair is
not available, then the vice chair can attend it in their stead.
521
01:21:54.260 --> 01:22:13.560
Quinlan Conf Room: And the purpose of this is for the commissions to give
an update to the mayor on what's the latest on commissioned business, and
also for the mayor to give an update to the commissioners, on what are
some hot topics within the city. So the updates that I shared were, one.
522
01:22:13.560 --> 01:22:21.669
Quinlan Conf Room: the Arts, assets, and Inventory Initiative that, that
we conducted, that was done and sent over to staff.
523
01:22:21.820 --> 01:22:29.300
Quinlan Conf Room: The second is I shared that we had two public art
pieces approved, Blossom, as well as…
524
01:22:29.410 --> 01:22:37.899
Quinlan Conf Room: Arabesque vibre, and then the third is that we had
discussed a student-led utility box project.
525
01:22:37.900 --> 01:22:56.770
Quinlan Conf Room: So that was the May meeting, and then for the July
meeting, we spent the entire duration, focused around selecting the
winners for the Crest Award, so we didn't get into, updates. Those
winners are finalized, I think they should have been notified.
526
01:22:56.770 --> 01:23:10.520
Quinlan Conf Room: And then the awards ceremony, which we are all invited
to, is going to be on October 28th. If you remember from last year and
the year prior, this will simultaneously be a crest
527
01:23:10.530 --> 01:23:21.450
Quinlan Conf Room: awards, and also Commissioner Recognition Dinner. So,
please attend. It's a great opportunity for us to,
528
01:23:21.620 --> 01:23:27.490
Quinlan Conf Room: get together and spend time with all of the other
commissioners as well. Awesome.
529
01:23:27.920 --> 01:23:36.119
Quinlan Conf Room: Nope! That's it from my side. So we had 3 meetings for
consecutive months, September, October, November.
530
01:23:36.120 --> 01:23:48.870
Quinlan Conf Room: We have September and November are meetings, and
October, the Crest meeting. Correct. I mean, it's not an… it's not a
meeting, but yes, we will see each other in October. And no field trips,
no more?
531
01:23:49.560 --> 01:23:56.819
Quinlan Conf Room: Not currently. Please. For the Cresto, do they already
have a venue?
532
01:23:57.720 --> 01:24:16.650
Quinlan Conf Room: Usually, it's in the City Hall, right? Oh, no. Okay,
sorry. Last time it was for 10. Last time it was ever supported. Yeah.
Two years ago, it was at the Hotel and Main Street. Okay. Last year, it
was in that room, yeah. Yes. Yeah, last year it was. I don't know. Okay.
533
01:24:16.650 --> 01:24:21.860
Quinlan Conf Room: But staff will let us know. Just block off that
ethernet for now.
534
01:24:21.860 --> 01:24:27.250
Quinlan Conf Room: That's correct. And we just remembered that.
535
01:24:27.380 --> 01:24:40.540
Quinlan Conf Room: Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. Correct. I came before
time today. That changed. I was happy. Do we have any other Commissioner
reports? We had a quick one, please. So, I presented
536
01:24:40.920 --> 01:24:47.009
Quinlan Conf Room: to the… to India Community Center seniors.
537
01:24:47.110 --> 01:24:56.450
Quinlan Conf Room: In Cupertino. There's a group that meets here in the
church, right outside Whole Foods. They have a group called FOSWL,
Friends of Similar Way of Dent.
538
01:24:56.540 --> 01:25:14.899
Quinlan Conf Room: Okay, go for that. And they get a speaker once a
month. So, somebody asked me to present, and my topic was from bots to
bots, from robots to pottery, the journey of a left-brain Silicon Valley
techie to a wonderful world of art.
539
01:25:15.070 --> 01:25:23.820
Quinlan Conf Room: Well, the relevant part of what I was going to say is,
so I talked about ceramics, pottery, and left brain, right brain, and
empathy, and all that, why art is important.
540
01:25:23.920 --> 01:25:28.110
Quinlan Conf Room: But, I put in a couple slides on outdoor art and
Cupertino.
541
01:25:28.310 --> 01:25:47.819
Quinlan Conf Room: Okay, and I'm serious, people see these all the time,
but they don't realize. I showed pictures, and I asked them, okay, who
recognizes this one? Oh, yeah, that's at Stevens Creek Intersection, and
some of the outdoor art is beautiful, right? So, FYI, you know, there
were, what, 60 people in the group?
542
01:25:47.840 --> 01:25:52.880
Quinlan Conf Room: And, we talked about Alderwright.
543
01:25:53.460 --> 01:26:05.659
Quinlan Conf Room: And also, I think John is updating the map, the
Cupertino map, with all the inventory that David and I put together, and
hopefully that helps out soon.
544
01:26:05.710 --> 01:26:18.469
Quinlan Conf Room: Yeah, the latest that I heard from John… well, I mean,
he already has a draft website prepared for publishing the art assets
onto, like, the Cupertino.gov, I believe.
545
01:26:18.800 --> 01:26:24.389
Quinlan Conf Room: I checked last night, I don't think it was published
yet. Do you know when that would be published?
546
01:26:24.640 --> 01:26:33.849
Quinlan Conf Room: He and I haven't discussed it since, we talked to you,
but I imagine he'll be able to get to it when he returns.
547
01:26:34.080 --> 01:26:53.030
Quinlan Conf Room: Yeah, let us know if there's anything gating that. I
think we would like that, up as soon as possible. Absolutely. David, any
idea on that bike date? Is he going to incorporate this? That's the other
announcement that I wanted to share. Oh, good, thanks. I'm glad I asked.
Thanks, I forgot. Yeah.
548
01:26:54.690 --> 01:26:58.020
Quinlan Conf Room: Gosh. Just to fill in while you're looking…
549
01:26:58.170 --> 01:27:06.269
Quinlan Conf Room: There's a bike day in Cupertino, organized by Mayor
Moore, And, there was some…
550
01:27:06.340 --> 01:27:09.190
Quinlan Conf Room: shocked conversation I had with her at some event.
551
01:27:09.200 --> 01:27:15.819
Quinlan Conf Room: On… if we can incorporate some of the outdoor rod into
the bike day, where
552
01:27:15.820 --> 01:27:30.840
Quinlan Conf Room: when folks are biking, they can actually go visit some
of the outdoor art locations. Okay, sorry. Yes, thank you, thank you. So,
this will be before our next meeting, so thanks for the reminder. Okay.
553
01:27:31.540 --> 01:27:54.040
Quinlan Conf Room: The event is on… gosh, sorry, my internet… Somewhere
in September, right? I'm not in… Well, it's September 28th, but do you
remember when our next commission meeting is? Sorry, I'm going to take
notes. Okay, 28th. Okay, yes, yes, yes. So, basically, the Saturday
before our next commission meeting is Cupertino Fall Bike Fest.
554
01:27:54.180 --> 01:27:59.669
Quinlan Conf Room: September 26th, from 9am to 1pm.
555
01:28:00.160 --> 01:28:04.599
Quinlan Conf Room: Yeah, so, I mean, please attend if you're able to.
556
01:28:04.660 --> 01:28:15.120
Quinlan Conf Room: I think, according to the website, the event will
feature bike rides, on-bike and off-bike games, arts and crafts, food and
beverages for sale, and much more.
557
01:28:15.120 --> 01:28:28.709
Quinlan Conf Room: You can find more on the city website. We have been in
conversation with the mayor about incorporating, like, an art tour, or,
like, a pamphlet as part of this.
558
01:28:29.000 --> 01:28:46.439
Quinlan Conf Room: Because, I mean, if people are going to be biking
around the city anyways, might as well give them a couple destinations to
enjoy while they're there. I think the action was on us to put together,
like, a mock-up
559
01:28:46.490 --> 01:28:51.650
Quinlan Conf Room: of what that could look like, so I think there was
pushback from staff of, like, hey, like.
560
01:28:51.710 --> 01:28:53.099
Quinlan Conf Room: So, sorry.
561
01:28:53.470 --> 01:28:54.540
Quinlan Conf Room: I think…
562
01:28:55.410 --> 01:29:13.539
Quinlan Conf Room: one interpretation of how this could be executed is
that it would be done through, like, the Art Tour app, so I think that's
how it was executed several years ago, where basically a QR code was
given.
563
01:29:13.540 --> 01:29:16.859
Quinlan Conf Room: at Bike Fest, and then it…
564
01:29:16.860 --> 01:29:36.590
Quinlan Conf Room: linked people to download the Artor app, and then
people can just use their phone to, like, okay, figure out where to go.
Nice! I think the only limitation is I'm not sure that the RTour app… We
can guarantee that the RTour app will be updated in time.
565
01:29:36.590 --> 01:29:37.420
Quinlan Conf Room: Anything?
566
01:29:37.650 --> 01:30:02.509
Quinlan Conf Room: it's… it can be a little bit more scattered, that
approach, because you're not literally telling them where to go, it's
just like, hey, here's everything. So I think a recommendation, at least
my recommendation, is if we want to make this happen, why don't we put
together a mock-up? I mean, it can be, like, a simple one-pager. Simple
flyer. Yeah, Mountain View has done this, right? Just, hey, like, these
are five art pieces along a single corridor.
567
01:30:02.510 --> 01:30:08.019
Quinlan Conf Room: that we think would be fun, and then I would recommend
sending that over to staff, and
568
01:30:08.180 --> 01:30:21.009
Quinlan Conf Room: Can I suggest something? Yeah. So, they might have a
path already set, right, for the tour, for the bike ride, everything,
from point A to point B. I don't know the details. Right. What I was
suggesting is, near the artwork, they put a water stand.
569
01:30:21.010 --> 01:30:45.290
Quinlan Conf Room: Every art stand. So there will spots there, they will
have water, they will have something. So if we can coordinate with the
doers, the administration of this path, and the path goes… it goes around
the city, if they can have the… they can… they have random water spots,
right? If they can put it near the art spot, they will stop there, and
they will look, and everybody who goes there, you know, can take a
picture or something. So if we have an interesting spot near the art
point, it will work both ways.
570
01:30:45.290 --> 01:30:53.920
Quinlan Conf Room: will be an advantage to us, and they'll also take a
look at it. Absolutely, absolutely, yeah. Yeah. So think… so basically a
mock-up of a flyer.
571
01:30:54.140 --> 01:31:03.749
Quinlan Conf Room: That's the starting… that's the base. I think if we
can deliver a mock-up, yeah, it's more likely to happen. Yeah. Let me
think about that. Yeah.
572
01:31:03.870 --> 01:31:04.790
Quinlan Conf Room: Okay.
573
01:31:06.270 --> 01:31:18.309
Quinlan Conf Room: Perfect. Thanks. Okay. Future agenda signing. Sorry,
everyone wants to go home. Upcoming draft agenda items. There's an
attachment, were we supposed to talk about the attachment?
574
01:31:18.850 --> 01:31:22.329
Quinlan Conf Room: I was not given anything to discuss on this.
575
01:31:22.870 --> 01:31:26.920
Quinlan Conf Room: We normally don't have an attachment, that's what I
was wondering.
576
01:31:27.250 --> 01:31:38.850
Quinlan Conf Room: Yeah, there was. It had one idea. But it doesn't
really… Okay, it says… It said, staff will provide a presentation on any
item.
577
01:31:39.560 --> 01:31:58.969
Quinlan Conf Room: Yeah, the staff keep the Commission informed of any
Council-directed work items that are still pending or incomplete. I do
not have any information to share. That's fine. Okay. Any other… from the
Commission, any other items that you'd like to nominate for a future
agenda?
578
01:32:02.800 --> 01:32:15.170
Quinlan Conf Room: I want to suggest something, but I don't know if it
will work out. We have a lot of fall events. Can we have the city, like,
permission, request, whatever, as commissioners to go? Not as… like, last
year, they said, you can go like that.
579
01:32:15.170 --> 01:32:28.630
Quinlan Conf Room: That is, like, normal citizens, but if we can go as
commissioners, like, in a prestigious position in all these events,
Cherry Festival, Diwali Festival, we want the city to invite us as art
and Culture Commissioner in those festivals.
580
01:32:28.630 --> 01:32:39.330
Quinlan Conf Room: I know in the past, commissioners have literally just,
like, shown up with their badge, and I think at some plate… at some
events, I think we've even had a booth.
581
01:32:39.630 --> 01:32:49.190
Quinlan Conf Room: Okay, I have not seen, so I don't… I haven't… last
year I suggested, but the answer John had given was, you just go and
show, and I know, it's, like, confusing, like, would they…
582
01:32:49.410 --> 01:33:01.450
Quinlan Conf Room: Yeah. I think at this point of time, it is making a
note of that agenda item. That's about it. Yes, yes, yes. That's
something to discuss. Commissioner…
583
01:33:02.190 --> 01:33:20.280
Quinlan Conf Room: Participation in city events. Yes, yes, yes. Yeah,
yeah, but I guess my point is, if there's an event that you really want
to go to, just talk to staff. Okay, does anybody want to second that, or
do we want to make it for future agenda setting? I'll second that.
584
01:33:20.720 --> 01:33:21.470
Quinlan Conf Room: Perfect.
585
01:33:25.720 --> 01:33:27.060
Quinlan Conf Room: Okay, any others?
586
01:33:30.820 --> 01:33:42.610
Quinlan Conf Room: All right, thank you so much for your time. Good job.
Good job, David, very nice meeting you. Thank you, David. Thank you all.
