16
00:01:37.610 --> 00:01:46.860
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): Now moving on to the first item of
the business, which is approval of the minutes. Item 1, subject, April
2nd, 2026, Park and Recreation Commission meeting minutes.
17
00:01:46.960 --> 00:01:56.049
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): And the recommended action in front
of us is to review and approve the April 2nd, 2026 Park and Recreation
Commission meeting minutes.
18
00:01:56.110 --> 00:02:13.110
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): And I'm sure that everybody looked
at the draft minutes. Yes, and through the chair, I'd like to move and
approve the April 2nd. Before that, sorry, so any clarifying questions or
amendments to the minutes? Any clarifying questions or amendments to the
minutes?
19
00:02:14.140 --> 00:02:16.550
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): That there is a… looks like this…
20
00:02:16.720 --> 00:02:22.320
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): I learned this one, so I'll now open
for a public comment on this item.
21
00:02:23.010 --> 00:02:28.490
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): Scott, do we have any speaker…
speaker thoughts or hands raised on… on this?
22
00:02:28.700 --> 00:02:36.200
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): We have no speakers, Chair. Thank
you. Seeing no speakers, I'll close the public comment and invite a
motion on the…
23
00:02:36.330 --> 00:02:37.839
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): Many minutes after the law.
24
00:02:38.150 --> 00:02:43.940
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): We asked the motion to approve the
April 2nd, 2026 Parks and Rec.
25
00:02:43.940 --> 00:02:47.269
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): Commission meeting minutes. I second
it. Great.
26
00:02:47.270 --> 00:02:53.740
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): So, Commissioner Bono, I think you
better notes on that one, right? I don't have to repeat that.
27
00:02:54.090 --> 00:03:07.720
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): Thank you. So now, the particular
item has been approved, and we'll move on. What is it? Oh, sorry. That's
what I said. I missed one line, I said, there it is. Okay, staff, please,
call for the word.
28
00:03:07.970 --> 00:03:13.630
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): Commissioner Bono? Aye. Commissioner
Stanick? Yes. Commissioner Swami? Yes.
29
00:03:13.630 --> 00:03:19.569
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): Vice Chair Striken is absent. Chair
Kamarcombe? Yes. Motion carries unanimously. Oh, thank you.
30
00:03:19.575 --> 00:03:23.575
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): Now I think I have to go on to the
next slide.
31
00:03:23.835 --> 00:03:25.945
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): Postponements.
32
00:03:26.535 --> 00:03:33.674
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): And I think this is the time I
really wanted to make a motion, and before that, I will tell you… I'll
give you the context.
33
00:03:33.775 --> 00:03:39.565
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): there are a lot of guests here, to
present, which is part of the new business item.
34
00:03:39.615 --> 00:03:54.144
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): And since many of… some of the
staffs are in East Coast time zone, or different time zones, so there was
a request to really move that item to be the first one, the new business,
whatever we have, that should be moved to the first one.
35
00:03:54.285 --> 00:04:01.545
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): And so, I'd like to make a motion,
to move the new business item, what we have, being that
36
00:04:02.025 --> 00:04:03.055
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): Which is…
37
00:04:03.865 --> 00:04:18.245
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): Which I'll read it out. Presentation
of the proposed public open space conceptual design for the Rice
Development Project, formerly Barco Town Center. I'd like to move that
before the old business, so that we can get that done first.
38
00:04:18.665 --> 00:04:20.065
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): Given that there are…
39
00:04:20.214 --> 00:04:30.954
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): participants than folks on the call
from East Coast, just to respect it. I'll second that. And just to share,
if I can clarify one thing, please, what we would need to do,
40
00:04:30.960 --> 00:04:44.110
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): for this evening, is if the… you
have a motion on the table, but the motion would be for after oral
communications. Absolutely. So, we would… just for… Yeah, I just… So, we
would do.
41
00:04:44.510 --> 00:04:52.330
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): That's the only spot, but until
then, things will continue. Like, oral communication, we will have it,
and then we'll…
42
00:04:52.335 --> 00:05:02.515
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): and then we would go into new
business. We would do old business last. So we'll do it last? Correct.
That's what I heard the motion to be, so… Yes.
43
00:05:03.735 --> 00:05:06.434
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): I missed that… sorry, my second.
44
00:05:06.630 --> 00:05:12.890
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): So before the second motion, I think
there is a clarification question for the Commission. Yeah, so is this…
45
00:05:12.895 --> 00:05:16.275
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): Item 3 on the agenda, this is under
old business.
46
00:05:16.655 --> 00:05:20.794
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): Number 2, I… Number 3. No, no, no,
item 3.
47
00:05:20.800 --> 00:05:24.430
Quinlan Conference Room: This is under old business on my agenda.
48
00:05:24.430 --> 00:05:30.440
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): The old business is a senior, so…
49
00:05:30.445 --> 00:05:37.854
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): This is new business. Oh, oh, new
business is way down there, I didn't see it. I apologize. Yeah.
50
00:05:38.980 --> 00:05:47.109
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): Sorry, I think there is another
question on it. So the reason why we wanted to move that before the whole
business is that people who are presenting it
51
00:05:47.440 --> 00:06:01.510
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): A few folks are here, and then some
other folks are from East Coast dialing in on the call. So just to
respect their time, they're already starting at 9 o'clock… I mean, 10
o'clock now, so we want to respect them to go forward 10 seconds.
52
00:06:01.570 --> 00:06:14.569
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): So, I did a motion and, seconded by…
Seconded, yes. Seconded by Commissioner Bono. And then, do we have to go
for a vote on this, too? Me too, yes. Yes, please, staff. Commissioner
Bono?
53
00:06:14.570 --> 00:06:15.130
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): Hi.
54
00:06:15.290 --> 00:06:24.580
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): Commissioner Stanek? Yes.
Commissioner Swamy? Yes. Vice Chair Strength is absent. Chair Kumarapon?
Yes. Motion carries unanimously. Thank you.
55
00:06:25.310 --> 00:06:44.230
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): So now we'll go on the oral
communications. This portion of the meeting is reserved for persons
wishing to address the Commission on any matter within the jurisdiction
of the Commission, and not on the agenda. I just want to make it clear,
and the speakers are limited to 3 minutes.
56
00:06:44.500 --> 00:07:00.980
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): In most cases, state law will
prohibit the Commission from making any decisions with respect to a
matter not on the agenda. The Commission or the staff may briefly respond
to statements made or questions posed, and the Commission may request
staff to report back at a subsequent meeting.
57
00:07:01.300 --> 00:07:18.410
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): As a reminder, comments can also be
emailed at the same time to park and recreation Commission, all one word,
at Copadino.gov. If any member of the public would like to make comments,
please fill out a speaker card or raise your hand on Zoom.
58
00:07:18.970 --> 00:07:21.950
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): With that staff, do we have any
folks?
59
00:07:23.030 --> 00:07:26.290
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): We have one speaker in person, Susan
Bloomfield.
60
00:07:26.570 --> 00:07:28.620
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): Excellent.
61
00:07:29.200 --> 00:07:34.839
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): Okay. Good evening. I'm Susan
Bloomfield, and I'm a 35-year resident.
62
00:07:34.840 --> 00:07:38.089
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): president, taxpayer, voter of
Cupertino.
63
00:07:38.180 --> 00:07:44.549
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): I'm here to speak about the
pickleball trial that is due to start on July 7th.
64
00:07:44.630 --> 00:08:02.459
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): I don't know when or if the
Commission had notice of the trial for the trial starting the 7th, and
whether or not you were aware of the restriction of hours and days of
play, as well as the request for quiet paddles at all times.
65
00:08:02.740 --> 00:08:05.580
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): We just heard about it, and
66
00:08:05.720 --> 00:08:12.010
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): The reason that I'm here is to
request your recommendation that the trial not go forward.
67
00:08:12.170 --> 00:08:32.169
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): Because it seems that there are
other methods that would be better for the neighbors to attenuate the
noise, like sound barriers, which need to be looked at before any kind of
trial, because the trial itself would not really do much to directly
solve the issue. The issue is to
68
00:08:32.169 --> 00:08:39.239
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): make less noise. And by changing the
playing time, you're actually, if you restrict the hours.
69
00:08:39.240 --> 00:08:52.499
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): and you have the same number of
people who want to play, they're going to squish themselves into that
time, and there could actually be more problem because of that. And for
some reason, they picked Mondays.
70
00:08:52.500 --> 00:08:56.069
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): to totally say no pickleball on
Mondays.
71
00:08:56.140 --> 00:09:06.339
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): I don't see that that makes a great
deal of sense. One would assume that a weekday, most people during those
hours are maybe at work anyway.
72
00:09:06.530 --> 00:09:09.069
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): But it doesn't seem a good solution.
73
00:09:09.710 --> 00:09:16.600
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): Now, why does this matter? For the
first time in 35 years, There is so much community.
74
00:09:16.710 --> 00:09:26.089
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): Most of the 35 years that my husband
and I lived here, it's just where we lived. We didn't use the park, we
didn't do much of anything in the community.
75
00:09:26.600 --> 00:09:37.250
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): Then Cupertino painted lines on one
of the tennis courts, but no nets. My husband and I would bring our own
nets, and we were pretty much the only people there.
76
00:09:37.250 --> 00:09:49.450
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): And then Cupertino bought four nets,
and all of a sudden, a huge community of friendship and just general good
thoughts happened, and it's been going on now.
77
00:09:49.800 --> 00:10:02.020
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): It's a friendship between folks that
are of all ages, all ethnicities, diverse backgrounds, people I never
thought I would become friendly with, because where would I have even met
them?
78
00:10:02.160 --> 00:10:03.840
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): And now we…
79
00:10:03.910 --> 00:10:11.420
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): Socialize at the court, we socialize
off the court, and it's just brought so many families and friends
together.
80
00:10:11.420 --> 00:10:26.610
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): And it brings people to Cupertino,
too, to shop, to eat in restaurants, to add to the economy. And I know
this because we have a lot of lunches, group lunches, and happy hours,
and most of them take place in Cupertino, even if people don't live
there.
81
00:10:27.190 --> 00:10:32.620
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): So, what we want is to work together
with the city to help the neighbors.
82
00:10:33.020 --> 00:10:36.510
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): I talked longer than I thought.
83
00:10:36.670 --> 00:10:40.069
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): Thank you for your comment. Through
the chair, I'd like to make a comment.
84
00:10:40.440 --> 00:10:43.400
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): Yeah. Doom if I… doom if I don't,
but let'.
85
00:10:43.405 --> 00:10:47.534
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): let's bring back pick of all that
remains a big issue in Covettino.
86
00:10:47.695 --> 00:11:04.525
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): And we need to have an answer as far
as, are we going to have any types of sound barrier installed? Are we
moving forward with any types of prototypes that eliminates noise, et
cetera, et cetera? And on a personal basis, FYI,
87
00:11:05.105 --> 00:11:14.744
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): Monday is a bad day, because
everyone is unhappy to go to work. That's why we're here on Thursday, and
the next day is a day off. Thank you. Anyway.
88
00:11:14.745 --> 00:11:22.245
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): Thanks, thanks for the comment, and
we will… Actually, I want to make a clarifying comment. Yeah, no, so I
think… Just for the…
89
00:11:22.245 --> 00:11:31.244
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): We're in a slippery slope right now
because of the non-agendized item, so for the Commissioner to have
discussion on this, we really need… I wasn't a good conversation.
90
00:11:31.245 --> 00:11:32.714
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conference Room): Okay, what's in there, comments.
91
00:11:32.715 --> 00:11:45.514
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): I want to make sure that we maintain
the remnant. I know, Director Mosley, you have something to add, and
then, we can circle back on to the… May I just clarifying.
92
00:11:45.515 --> 00:11:51.144
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): comment, because there seems to be a
little bit of confusion as to what.
93
00:11:51.150 --> 00:12:04.249
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): the Parks and Recreation Commission
has, recommended. In fact, we did not recommend not having pickleball on
Monday. We did not recommend restricting times. Understood.
94
00:12:04.255 --> 00:12:05.295
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conference Room): Thank you, thank you.
95
00:12:05.295 --> 00:12:09.675
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): I just want to make sure that the
truth is out there, that the miscommittent.
96
00:12:09.675 --> 00:12:10.315
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): for me? Sure.
97
00:12:10.320 --> 00:12:10.970
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): Yeah.
98
00:12:10.975 --> 00:12:24.965
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): So, thank you. I think the comments
are good. I think I saw it originally that looks like we cannot go deep
into any of the comments made, but you said that… Just briefly, we will
be talking about pickleball and sound attenuation with the CIP, which is
coming later.
99
00:12:25.015 --> 00:12:31.315
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): Correct. That's what I was about to…
thank you. So, some of the portions we'll be touching on the agenda on
this evening.
100
00:12:31.635 --> 00:12:35.905
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): Thank you. Is there any other folks
on the zone?
101
00:12:36.590 --> 00:12:39.290
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): We have no speakers in person, and
no hands raised on the.
102
00:12:39.295 --> 00:12:51.705
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): Awesome. If that is the case, let me
close the oral communication portion of it, and then, let's move on to
the item number three. Even though we are supposed to have all the
business, we already just
103
00:12:51.795 --> 00:13:11.094

I think we have those reports, everything

113
00:13:51.502 --> 00:14:01.401
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conference Room): And encourage the incorporation of
elements and guiding principles from the Parks and Rec Master Plan. We
believe those considerations are reflected in the designs being presented
this evening.
114
00:14:01.632 --> 00:14:14.251
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conference Room): And, while the city does not have
the authority to require specific design elements due to the statutory
limitations associated with the approved project entitlements, staff felt
it was important for the Parks and Rec Commission
115
00:14:14.332 --> 00:14:23.321
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conference Room): To have an opportunity to review and
comment on the proposed concepts. As a courtesy, the design team has
agreed to present their work to the Commission tonight.
116
00:14:23.452 --> 00:14:28.931
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conference Room): Staff will compile and share your
feedback with the design team, who's also here, but…
117
00:14:29.082 --> 00:14:47.591
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conference Room): And they'll be considering
incorporating your input where feasible into those designs. Again, given
the important role of these spaces, that these spaces will play as
community gathering areas, staff has requested this opportunity to review
the concepts and to offer the Commission the ability to provide input
early in the design process.
118
00:14:47.592 --> 00:14:50.201
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conference Room): Prior finalization of the
construction drawings.
119
00:14:50.262 --> 00:14:55.442
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conference Room): So, with that said, I'd like to turn
it over to Skip Grafon, from Olin, to provide the presentation.
120
00:14:55.532 --> 00:15:00.402
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conference Room): And I'm sorry, but before Skip gets
going with the presentation.
121
00:15:00.405 --> 00:15:05.665
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): I just want to introduce myself. My
name is Lee Moldes, I'm with Sandhill Property Company, the developer of.
122
00:15:05.665 --> 00:15:08.735
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): rise. We're very happy to be…
123
00:15:08.845 --> 00:15:12.715
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): Present to you our, vision for…
124
00:15:13.075 --> 00:15:24.055
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): our Parkland and Open Space Master
Plan. We're very happy to hear your input and, your comments and
feedback, on our vision, and, we've…
125
00:15:24.235 --> 00:15:30.584
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): Always view the city as our partner,
and we're very eager… we know this is a long-term effort.
126
00:15:30.965 --> 00:15:48.275
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): Yes, we're in our… with this
meeting, we're in our 12th year of community outreach, but at the same
time, we know that's a long road ahead, and there's a lot to be done, and
we're very grateful to the relationship that we have with the city at all
levels, including this commission and staff.
127
00:15:48.275 --> 00:16:08.815
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): to be able to have gotten to this
point, and eager for the adventure that remains ahead. I want you to know
that this vision reflects years of community input, and we're very proud
of what it has come to represent, both for a project such as the Rise,
but also for a community such as Cupertino.
128
00:16:08.815 --> 00:16:09.994
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): And,
129
00:16:10.305 --> 00:16:28.144
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): Parkland and open space has always
been a top priority of Sandhill Property Company in our development work,
and we view it as having equal standing to the uses of the project
itself, right there next to housing, right next to retail. Parkland is a
vehicle.
130
00:16:28.145 --> 00:16:36.234
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): This is why, it was very important
to us to select a world-class landscape architect such as Olman.
131
00:16:36.345 --> 00:16:51.455
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): We were inspired by Olem's work at
Apple Park, where I believe, they've, approached landscape architecture
as design meant to be used, as opposed to just meant to be looked at.
It's,
132
00:16:51.455 --> 00:17:01.394
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): It's my great, pleasure to be able
to turn this over to him now. He's dedicated the better part of the last
decade on this
133
00:17:01.395 --> 00:17:10.454
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): plan on this vision, and so I'm, I'm
happy that we've gotten to this point. I'll have to let Skip run the rest
of the things. Thank you. Thank you, we appreciate it.
134
00:17:10.770 --> 00:17:26.820
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): Wow. My head is a little heavier
now, but great introduction, thank you. First, thank you to the
Commission for bumping us up in the agenda. I do have two colleagues
online, Takashi Sato and Hong Lu, who are… it's 10-15, and we appreciate
that. Thank you very much.
135
00:17:26.819 --> 00:17:39.689
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): And I will go through this fairly
quickly. We obviously can talk afterwards with questions and so forth,
but this is an overview, and it's been a pleasure to work with staff to
kind of refine this, and taking their comments,
136
00:17:40.110 --> 00:17:56.569
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): into… into account. I have a bit of
a delay, so I'll have to get used to… there we go. Okay. I just want to
start with this image, just kind of hearkening back to what Marie
mentioned. Where we were, you know, 11, 12 years ago was this project,
and I think with all the input that we've received.
137
00:17:56.570 --> 00:18:13.240
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): It's going to make an exceptional
series of public spaces, that we want to have activate the community,
both the residents and shoppers and workers that are there, but also the
entire city. This was a destination back in the day. We hope it's a
destination for being outside, in this case.
138
00:18:13.240 --> 00:18:30.539
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): So we also, working with staff,
wanted to kind of situate this in the context of the General Plan, as
well as the Parks and Rec Master Plan. And so the idea is… I'm not going
to read through every one of these, but many of the guiding principles we
followed were ones from the General Plan and the Parks and Rec Plan in
terms of
139
00:18:30.540 --> 00:18:41.609
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): Being, you know, safe and
accessible and walkable, really creating a diverse series of spaces, and
allowing them to be flexibly used by both, you know, the residents and
the city and so forth.
140
00:18:41.610 --> 00:18:55.899
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): And really focusing on sustainable
design, and the climate change, and, and really also making this, you
know, a self-contained, and operations and maintenance and so forth. So,
all the, all the aspirations that are in the general plan as far as,
141
00:18:55.960 --> 00:19:05.930
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): kind of how the city sees these…
these elements. This is what we're calling the Mod 3 Plan, which is the
name of basically the latest plan. This shows the full build-out, and
142
00:19:05.930 --> 00:19:20.050
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): this shows not only the open
spaces, but also the streetscape. I think one of the things I'm really
excited about is kind of the robust streetscape, which we have a chance
to design from scratch with the proper soil volumes, proper spacing, and
so forth. So, we're talking about the open space tonight, but really it's
the whole
143
00:19:20.050 --> 00:19:27.860
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): the whole piece, and so the
streetscape is going to be where, you know, everyone's interacting and so
forth. So, I just want to make sure we saw that the overall image
144
00:19:27.860 --> 00:19:37.380
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): Again, looking back at, again, some
of the elements from the, the general plan, and how we looked at our
vision to create this multitude of scales.
145
00:19:37.380 --> 00:19:54.850
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): Having the two sides, the east and
west side, really anchored with the significant public space, and then a
series of smaller spaces around that interact with the residential
buildings and retail shops and so forth. It's all framed with a Class 1
bike lane, which provides a really interesting way of getting around the
entire district.
146
00:19:54.850 --> 00:20:05.499
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): And working with ways to, you know,
engage children at a variety of scales, both an actual playground, but
also just nature and being in an urban environment, urban garden
environment.
147
00:20:05.640 --> 00:20:19.040
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): So this is the overall, kind of,
3D, kind of, massing view of it, and you can see that our spaces,
obviously, we're going to talk about tonight, are on the ground, you
know, a series of spaces that run through the entire development. These…
just wanted to mention.
148
00:20:19.050 --> 00:20:29.749
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): These are also kind of upper-level
outdoor… they're private open spaces, so in addition to all the ground
plane spaces for the public, the residents also have access to these, so
there's a significant amount of
149
00:20:29.810 --> 00:20:46.439
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): of open space, and all of this
contributes, in a way, ecologically. So, while the ground spaces are
really for public access, the collective, you know, plantings and so
forth really do create those small ecological patches and kind of really
improve that overall kind of sustainability and resilience of this area.
150
00:20:48.360 --> 00:21:04.509
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): Okay, there we go. So this is kind
of the plan view of the spaces we're going to talk about. There's 8,
open… public open spaces, and then there's the Class 1 bike trail. So you
can see they're… they're scattered throughout the development. This is,
Falco Parkway, Wolf Road, Stevens Creek.
151
00:21:04.510 --> 00:21:14.509
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): And you can see they thread their
way through the… both sides, east and west, and they all throw a variety
of scales and orientations. So, one of the things we know from
152
00:21:14.510 --> 00:21:26.699
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): Our other park work is parks
generally work as a system in some ways, when they're within walking
distance of each other, and that's really nice, because depending on the
microclimate or depending on the event, you can move things around and
really have a larger system that can take
153
00:21:26.760 --> 00:21:46.620
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): one space doesn't have to take the
load of everything, and also people can find their way around and find
what they want when they're outside, quiet, active, whatever. Having
these smaller spaces are actually more useful than, say, one giant space,
so it's actually, in an urban environment, it's very attractive, and you
can use it differently each day, depending on where you want to be.
154
00:21:46.870 --> 00:21:59.650
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): This is… this kind of shows some of
the contiguous walking through these green spaces. They do link the west
side and parts of the east. We have a series of kind of inner, you know,
loops of varying, you know, pedestrian
155
00:21:59.650 --> 00:22:14.900
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): walking distances, you know,
anywhere from 5 to 15 minutes, and people will make their own up, of
course. But, there's just a lot of ways to see, you know, your way
through this, and also engage with that bike trail and pedestrian walking
trail on the exterior.
156
00:22:16.030 --> 00:22:18.379
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): And then, looking at the,
157
00:22:18.450 --> 00:22:32.280
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): So in addition to those that are
living there and working there, this is also meant to be a destination,
and so this is just a quick note of looking at all the different ways to
access the orange arrows, or vehicular entries, which they can park in
the publicly accessible garages.
158
00:22:32.280 --> 00:22:41.830
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): Obviously they can enter on the
bike trail. There's also… those yellow, stops are all bus stops, so it's
very… it's meant to be very accessible and distributed accessibility
throughout the park system.
159
00:22:41.850 --> 00:23:01.420
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): Also, one of the goals, you know,
for the Parks Master Plan was the idea of making things accessible. These
are… you can see the… the compactness of this means we have a lot in a
very small, you know, walking distance. So, from that corner of, Wolf and
Balco Parkway, it's about a 4-minute walk, you know, 4-minute direct
walk, probably more like 5 or 6 minutes.
160
00:23:01.430 --> 00:23:18.619
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): winding your way through the grid,
but even from one end to the other, you can get to 8 different parks in
about 15 minutes, which is kind of… it's a really interesting urban
environment, I think. And just one thing to note, too, the total… the
collective area
161
00:23:18.740 --> 00:23:32.260
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): of these, is about 7.94 acres,
about 7.94 acres, but, looking at the, small parks in the Parks and Rec
Master Plan, you have the category of small parks, those under…
162
00:23:32.510 --> 00:23:42.700
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): you're at about 6.8 acres right
now, so this one system is gonna really dramatically increase the small
parks in the city, in this one area. So…
163
00:23:43.070 --> 00:23:57.120
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): looking at the programming and the
way those small parks are used, we think we have a lot of similarities in
here in the way that it can be, you know, again, their play space, you
know, just quiet sitting and so forth, with some larger, kind of,
community event spaces as well, so…
164
00:23:57.120 --> 00:24:05.240
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): But I think the significance of
this type of park and this amount of it is an interesting, increase in
the Parks and Rec kind of master plan.
165
00:24:06.850 --> 00:24:09.420
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): Okay, so,
166
00:24:09.450 --> 00:24:23.319
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): again, conscious of time, I don't
want to spend too long on this, but just going back and, reoriting that
we did look at the seven, kind of, goals of the Parks and Rec Master
Plan, to see how each of these spaces can contribute to those goals
overall.
167
00:24:23.320 --> 00:24:30.979
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): We looked at, each one, and so I'm
just going to go through all 8 quickly, so you can kind of see, and we
can talk about them in more detail if you want.
168
00:24:30.980 --> 00:24:43.139
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): starting on the south, so we're
oriented… planned north is to the left. So, starting with the Urban
Paseo, which is really the pedestrian gateway to the south, off Stevens
Creek, and this is really a completely
169
00:24:43.140 --> 00:24:57.599
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): pedestrian-focused space that
interacts with retail. So, there's really, kind of two zones on the
edges, which, extend the retail out, you know, so restaurants, seating,
and so forth. And then there's a central zone that's really more for the
public, which is really pedestrian-focused.
170
00:24:57.600 --> 00:25:14.989
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): and has outdoor seating, it may
have a kind of a small plaza that's a splash pad and so forth, but the
idea that all of this contributes, to an active kind of pedestrian life
that may or may not be engaging with the retail, it obviously augments
the retail experience, but it doesn't have to be only about retail. So
this central
171
00:25:14.990 --> 00:25:18.389
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): Gateway, just kind of an iconic
welcome into the space.
172
00:25:18.390 --> 00:25:35.320
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): These are just some kind of images
of, you know, provocative images of what might go there. You see it's
focused on seating in the center, so unlike on the streets, this is… you
are the center in this space, so it's a different kind of read. All
pedestrian-focused, and some really unique placemaking that I think can
occur in this very dense
173
00:25:35.320 --> 00:25:37.130
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): Kind of tight environment.
174
00:25:39.330 --> 00:25:51.040
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): And this is an older rendering we
did, which just kind of shows the scale. You can see the retail zones,
and then the center, that's more open, and it's really about having
people occupied in a number of ways, how they wish to use it.
175
00:25:51.300 --> 00:26:11.039
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): Okay, jumping, we're kind of moving
to the north. Right connected to that is Town Square West, which is kind
of our largest space on the west side. It's almost 9 tenths of an acre.
This is meant to be our kind of community gathering space, civic space.
It's focused around an event plaza, which is hardscaped to have it be
maximum flexibility.
176
00:26:11.100 --> 00:26:22.829
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): If you're looking at that, event
space alone is roughly about the size of the Cupertino Main Street
between the two pavilions and the grass plus the walkways on the outside,
so it's roughly about 7,500 square feet.
177
00:26:22.880 --> 00:26:42.769
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): So it's big enough for movie night,
a small ice rink, you know, vendor stalls, food trucks, whatever. It's
meant to be able to handle that. You could put tenting anchors and so
forth in there. But it's surrounded by green, so the idea of prospect and
refuge, where you're looking out from a kind of a space you want to sit
to see the activity in the center. There's a…
178
00:26:42.900 --> 00:26:49.120
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): A kiosk that could, you know,
retail kiosk that might come here that could be a kind of an anchor for
food or coffee.
179
00:26:49.120 --> 00:27:09.389
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): There's a little… a lawn here that
could extend the event space this way. This is more seating inside, kind
of a planting area, and it's really meant to be a curvilinear kind of
antithesis to the very rigid geometries we're seeing elsewhere, so the
idea is more of a biophilic kind of disconnect from the kind of an urban
grid. And looking at… this is a really kind of basic 3D
180
00:27:09.390 --> 00:27:24.679
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): idea, but you can face any
direction with that urban park, with that central urban space. So the
idea is you could flow up into that lawn, you could have a seating edge
here, you could extend something out from the retail kiosk. And this is
another… this is blocked floor, it's gonna have some outside dining and
so forth, so…
181
00:27:24.930 --> 00:27:25.740
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): Please.
182
00:27:25.910 --> 00:27:42.260
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): well-looked-at, well, you know,
kind of lush part, but with a center that's open, and flexible. Again,
some of the ideas of some of the programming, event programming that
could happen. This shows you a 250-seat, you know, movie night. Plenty of
room, and the idea is…
183
00:27:42.310 --> 00:27:58.749
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): a space like this, we wanted to
have an event that can go on, but it doesn't, like, wipe out the ability
for people to move around and enjoy the edges, so it's not, like, all or
nothing, which sometimes we see, like, at Bryant Park, where everything
takes over and no one else can use the space. So, trying to avoid
something like that.
184
00:27:58.910 --> 00:28:17.719
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): Again, some of the ideas of, it's
flexible, both lawn and paving, very seasonal, but at the heart of it,
you're always going to be able to go out and sit in… in planting and in a
garden around the edges, so you have that… that mix of things, and again,
at different times of day and seasons, it will be, you know, could be
really wonderful.
185
00:28:17.720 --> 00:28:30.539
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): So this is just an idea of the
openness of the… of the plaza with the surrounding, kind of green space
and the, and the residential building north. Okay, just moving north of
this is the urban garden that's connected to Block 5.
186
00:28:30.670 --> 00:28:37.330
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): This is really more of a… almost
like a linear, park, if you will. It's an interesting one because
187
00:28:37.390 --> 00:28:49.049
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): There's sidewalk, here, you know,
like you would in the normal block, but you also have, like, a secondary
circulation area, so this becomes, like, a promenade with space to sit
off.
188
00:28:49.070 --> 00:29:05.680
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): seating on, you know, wood decks
and with seat walls and, you know, a flexible lawn to sit on. So what it
does is it allows these… there's 3 retail spaces here in Block 5, which
can come out and have their own kind of area that's dedicated for them,
for, like, restaurant tables or something. And then there's… but there is
room here
189
00:29:05.680 --> 00:29:13.770
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): to set up market stalls and so
forth for a public event, with the screen space, kind of backing it up.
So.
190
00:29:13.780 --> 00:29:28.930
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): The retail is covered, but this is
all, kind of open space that can be used for events and things like that.
It's meant to be really where you're kind of seeing, be seen here,
walking on this promenade. And the interesting thing about the Paseo and
the Town Square West and this is, depending on
191
00:29:29.160 --> 00:29:43.399
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): how we want to judiciously maybe
close the street. You could flow back and forth across this section of
the street and still have circulation out, you know, of cars elsewhere.
Similar, you could have… so you could actually connect these in
interesting ways and expand, the space to a larger one.
192
00:29:45.320 --> 00:29:52.720
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): again, just some, kind of, kind of,
ideas of what might go there. Flexible, movable chairs, and so forth.
193
00:29:52.950 --> 00:30:11.089
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): The next space up is the turf
playfield. This is one that, you know, the goal was to have some sort of,
kind of, like, just informal recreation area. This is just over half an
acre. It's really, again, it's just essentially a contiguous lawn panel
with some plantings and the ability to sit around. It's just really a
town green, if you will.
194
00:30:11.090 --> 00:30:14.129
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): It's meant to be very, you know,
kind of…
195
00:30:14.530 --> 00:30:19.829
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): Usable from… from… from all groups,
but it's… it's more of,
196
00:30:20.540 --> 00:30:39.199
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): thinking of it more as the
flexibility of what you would have with a lawn, where you could use it
for picnicking, you could use it for an event, you could do it for
informal recreation. But it's just there as also as visual green as
you're walking through it. It makes that connection between the Block 5
kind of urban park and some of the others leading up to the bike trail.
197
00:30:39.200 --> 00:30:58.810
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): The last one in this sequence are
what we're calling the culture gardens. These are, you know, placeholder
names, it's not anything specific. But the idea, these are, kind of mid-
block linear spaces, and they come… they are almost like the northern
gateway that you would come down from the bike trail. So you have, kind
of, at each end, you have these gateway elements that are all pedestrian
only.
198
00:30:58.810 --> 00:31:00.340
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): So, this central…
199
00:31:00.340 --> 00:31:12.579
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): path has essentially small plazas
at each end. It's really a series of seating rooms and things along this
curvilinear path. This is… we're calling it Culture Garden because this
could reflect
200
00:31:12.580 --> 00:31:28.720
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): you know, kind of agricultural
history, cultural history, there could be a series of, you know, displays
and things along it. It could be any number of kind of passive event
elements, but the main thing is it's just a really lush, beautiful garden
walk that leads you in from the bike trail.
201
00:31:28.750 --> 00:31:43.589
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): And again, it could be… could have
even… this is right near residential, so it could even have, almost like
work-from-home spaces outside, or small seating areas. This is also a
place where we can really demonstrate, I think, on-site stormwater
management, because we have such a long linear space.
202
00:31:43.590 --> 00:32:03.439
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): And so this is an opportunity, I
think, to really daylight and explain that, as well as it obviously being
a functional aspect to the highly integrated, which we need it to be. So,
I think this one is really exciting, I think, in terms of complexity of
planting we can do and so forth, to really kind of explain the regional,
you know, kind of ecosystems and so forth in here.
203
00:32:04.480 --> 00:32:23.740
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): Okay, and then, the children's
player at the far north end is connected to the bike trail. It's long and
linear. We think we can get probably about 6 stations in there with room
to run around and a border and a buffer. It's going to be fully shaded
with trees. The space could have two, you know, kind of, like, the two
major age brackets,
204
00:32:23.740 --> 00:32:32.559
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): And it could just be a series of,
you know, simple play structures, you know, natural materials,
interesting play surface, you know, trying to get the multiple ways, but
it's very…
205
00:32:32.780 --> 00:32:48.419
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): in terms of its ability to kind of,
like, be a space right off that bike trail, or right off that pedestrian
path, you can stop, water fountain, let the kids run around, burn off
some steam, and it's… but it's part of that kind of larger trail, so it
could really be a destination as you're arriving by bike.
206
00:32:48.420 --> 00:32:57.669
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): This was an earlier rendering, this
is one that's a little more square, but the idea is that it is buffered
on all sides, but yet it's very close and connected to the other blocks.
207
00:32:59.400 --> 00:33:11.450
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): Okay, the bike trail. There were a
couple topics that we talked with staff about, so this is… this is the
bike… the Class 1 bike trail. You can see this dashed line is where,
ultimately it will go under through the tunnel and connect.
208
00:33:11.550 --> 00:33:18.220
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): But this, affords a tremendous
opportunity for, you know, kind of gathering people at a, you know.
209
00:33:18.220 --> 00:33:35.099
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): through cycling, but we also want
to look at how to tie into the timing and Inu Trail. We were also asked
about some of the amenities that might be along it, as well as, you know,
is there a spot for a fitness station as well? So it's a couple of
exploratory things is where… so I flipped it now, Boris is up.
210
00:33:35.200 --> 00:33:48.380
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): So this is, 280 is here at the top,
and just showing that the Taman Union Trail will tie into both sides, and
potentially go under, you know, will go under the road, Wolf Road, to
connect the two. So this will have a direct
211
00:33:48.380 --> 00:33:55.879
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): connection to the trail, and we'll
also sort out, with the, you know, kind of Caltrans, you know,
improvement project and so forth.
212
00:33:55.990 --> 00:34:10.979
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): In addition, some of the… the
stations and things, are typical of what you might find in the classroom.
Bike trail, water filling, repair, rest stops, and so forth, which we
were able to, you know, kind of
213
00:34:11.010 --> 00:34:30.770
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): place at key moments, where you're
slowing down to make turns, there's a stop, and so you can see this
distribution of those amenities, throughout. And then, in addition, and
this was, just kind of one of the renderings that showed it backing up to
one of the housing, blocks, so you can get quick access to the bike trail
from that.
214
00:34:30.889 --> 00:34:40.140
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): But the idea of doing a fitness
station, as we talk with staff, is could we add this in there? And I
think it actually… looking at a very inclusive one, which have both, kind
of, you know,
215
00:34:40.199 --> 00:34:52.470
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): Those of various abilities could
all use this space, but looking at it as potentially augmenting the
children's play area, so the idea that, you know, the adults can break a
sweat as the kids are breaking a sweat, and it's right on the bike trail.
216
00:34:52.469 --> 00:35:12.350
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): And so the idea of those things co-
located seemed like a nice, kind of serendipitous connection there. And
you can see there's bike parking, there's bike amenities, there's the
fitness, and then the play area. So this is, based on your comments, we
think this is actually a really nice location for it. It's not huge, but
it definitely is… it's something, and it's a significant
217
00:35:12.350 --> 00:35:15.900
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): Moment in the trail system where
you would likely want to stop.
218
00:35:18.020 --> 00:35:34.039
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): Okay, jumping to the east side of
Wolf Road, our other big kind of public space is Town Square East. So
again, we wanted a spot to bring community together of a larger size that
could have events and things. This is also a mid-block crossing between
Valco Parkway and
219
00:35:34.040 --> 00:35:41.180
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): To be named Street 5, is the other
end. So there, you can have this garden pour that kind of connects the
two.
220
00:35:41.180 --> 00:35:42.620
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): You can walk along.
221
00:35:42.620 --> 00:36:06.230
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): There's plazas at both ends that
could be just, you know, for seating, or they could also be part of event
space. There's a pretty large event lawn here, a fitness court area, and
then in between is this Bosque trees where you can have outdoor seating
and dining and so forth. So, this is meant to be, active throughout the
day, but also can be used, for events. So this, for example, is… let's
say there's a summer festival, you can do
222
00:36:06.260 --> 00:36:12.980
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): you know, market stalls on the
lawn, you can set things up in the, kind of, seating area, but you can
also do food trucks. This is on this side.
223
00:36:13.160 --> 00:36:30.340
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): just like we did with Town Square
West, you can also… it's designed to be able to bring food trucks in
significantly out, so if that was desired, you can get them in there. Of
course, they can also park while on the street, but this place surface
can be, in addition for, kind of, informal recreation, can also be used
as event space.
224
00:36:30.340 --> 00:36:34.679
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): So it's doing double duty, and the
idea is that the kind of receiving
225
00:36:34.680 --> 00:36:52.650
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): both ends is the flexible plaza,
and then there's the fitness court kind of event space, and then the
event lawn. So this is really, again, a major gathering space, and if you
look at using both Town Square East and West, you could really have a
significant, you know, celebration here. You'd have to cross Wolf, of
course, which would be, you know.
226
00:36:52.850 --> 00:37:05.529
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): wouldn't have to happen, but, I
think no one on the east is… is now being neglected in terms of, you
know, event space and just day-to-day activity. And then finally is the,
East Recreational Park. It's 1.2 acres…
227
00:37:05.530 --> 00:37:13.300
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): Really, the biggest green space,
here, and it's just an open, playfield, effectively.
228
00:37:13.450 --> 00:37:18.649
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): And I remember from the Parks
Master Plan, you all had noted that, you know, open spaces.
229
00:37:18.760 --> 00:37:22.370
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): not being created, right? So, out
of the Valco.
230
00:37:22.640 --> 00:37:27.230
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): impervious surface, you know, we're
finding some open space here, and so I think the…
231
00:37:27.460 --> 00:37:42.409
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): open, kind of, play areas that are
large enough to actually engage in activity is rare in a city. So I think
the idea of having this space there, it's surrounded, you know, by either
commercial office or the streets and so forth, but having a
232
00:37:42.410 --> 00:37:50.280
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): recreational play field, again,
could be used for movie night or events, but it could have some, you
know, kind of small-scale active sports,
233
00:37:50.280 --> 00:38:03.530
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): active recreation on that. Again,
you can see, the size of the space. It's good size, so I think it would
be an amazing amenity in a city, that is often trying to hard to find
green space.
234
00:38:05.610 --> 00:38:13.970
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): And I'm gonna come to a stop after
going really fast, so thank you for that massive… receiving that massive
dump of information.
235
00:38:14.180 --> 00:38:16.019
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): Thanks, Peter. Okay, thank you.
236
00:38:16.025 --> 00:38:18.804
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): Thank you for the presentation. Yes,
thank you.
237
00:38:18.855 --> 00:38:34.785
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): And, I think it's… you really went
on a faster, and we were able to have as many questions as we can. Thank
you for keeping us at the pace, that's good. And now I just want to make
sure that for Commissioners, for any clarifying questions.
238
00:38:34.785 --> 00:38:38.864
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): We'll come back to the discussion
later, but is there any clarification questions on what
239
00:38:39.035 --> 00:38:41.464
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): the Architect Pro Center, please.
240
00:38:41.575 --> 00:38:44.304
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): Any clarification? I don't know if
this comes at.
241
00:38:44.310 --> 00:38:57.219
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): a clarifying question. Let me know
if it isn't. The fitness area, you talked about, the open space area, the
specific terminology was, did you say fitness court area?
242
00:38:57.390 --> 00:39:00.379
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): The urban area you were talking
about?
243
00:39:00.385 --> 00:39:01.805
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): big one, or the…
244
00:39:01.805 --> 00:39:04.265
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): Yes, the, kind of quadranular one.
245
00:39:04.270 --> 00:39:11.250
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): I think we just called the East
Recreational Park was our name for it. Again, these are very… is that
what you meant? No, it was just, like.
246
00:39:11.250 --> 00:39:13.949
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): The concrete area. Oh, oh, yes.
247
00:39:13.955 --> 00:39:19.345
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): Okay, got it, yes. So the idea that
this could be, so the…
248
00:39:20.095 --> 00:39:34.464
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): It's a somewhat irregular shape
here. The idea… it would have, like a hard surface, like a basketball
court, or a pickleball court, or something. So it could be used as… and I
know this could be a hot-button topic, you know, for the… so…
249
00:39:34.505 --> 00:39:49.764
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): These sports that shall not be
named. No, but the idea is that it… having a hard surface does allow that
ability to… we've worked in cities where sometimes they will actually
bring, like, basketball hoops in, right? And you can do this with kind of
that quiet pavement that really muffles the sound.
250
00:39:49.765 --> 00:39:57.865
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): Or you could bring in pickleball,
or you could do an exhibition, you know, basketball game, you know, or
something like that. The idea is that it's a hard surface.
251
00:39:57.865 --> 00:40:07.924
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): That could just be there with
tables and chairs, you know, otherwise. So, but it's… but it's rated as a
fitness service, rather than just concrete. So it's a more comfortable
plan.
252
00:40:07.925 --> 00:40:19.305
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): you don't have to do it, but it's
there, and it's just a way of extending, kind of, the range of activities
that could go in there. Awesome. Thank you. Thank you. Yeah, sure. Any
other questions?
253
00:40:19.305 --> 00:40:26.214
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conference Room): question, especially for those
watching this. And I've been here 12 years, it's been going on as long
as…
254
00:40:26.840 --> 00:40:37.139
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): is what's being proposed tonight has
been approved by the City of Cicasino. I know it sounds a crazy question,
but… or does it still have to go back to City Council for approval?
Because I'm…
255
00:40:37.320 --> 00:40:40.130
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): After 12 years, I'm confused as to
what's happening.
256
00:40:40.300 --> 00:40:41.689
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): Yeah, it might…
257
00:40:42.320 --> 00:40:50.929
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conference Room): My understanding is this has been
approved, by the city. Okay. This does not need to, go to City Council
for approval. This is part of the
258
00:40:52.840 --> 00:41:03.589
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conference Room): the SB35 package. Directly, but
that's my understanding. Ask the city attorney for something more
specific than that, but…
259
00:41:03.720 --> 00:41:09.910
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conference Room): The… the project has been, entitled,
and… for building.
260
00:41:10.250 --> 00:41:13.830
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conference Room): That's the next approval, but
that's, that level of approval.
261
00:41:14.190 --> 00:41:15.060
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conference Room): Thank you.
262
00:41:15.960 --> 00:41:20.800
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conference Room): So, hi, I'm Carol Stanek. Thank you
very much.
263
00:41:21.310 --> 00:41:26.070
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conference Room): on the… I'm really happy to see the
nature play areas.
264
00:41:26.070 --> 00:41:26.810
Speaker 11 (Quinlan Conference Room): I was actually part.
265
00:41:26.810 --> 00:41:31.680
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): of creating that master plan. I
think I made one of the few, but still around.
266
00:41:31.685 --> 00:41:40.304
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): And that was a very important aspect
of that, that our parks have a natural feel, so children.
267
00:41:40.305 --> 00:41:53.854
Speaker 11 (Quinlan Conference Room): understand that nature is where
they can play, that nature doesn't have to be something that's painted
pink and blue. Right. And so, I was really happy to see you incorporating
in that.
268
00:41:53.985 --> 00:42:00.805
Speaker 11 (Quinlan Conference Room): My question was, for the adult
areas, like the fitness court, all of a sudden it's painted
269
00:42:00.845 --> 00:42:18.224
Speaker 11 (Quinlan Conference Room): well, what you've shown here is
bright, bright colors. So, can we incorporate those same thoughts into
the adult fitness areas to make it be consistent and to give it that
nice, natural feel of thoughts? I think… don't see why not.
270
00:42:18.225 --> 00:42:38.095
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): Yeah, I think that was, again, part
of that was just so you could see the slide, if it showed that thing, and
it sometimes sets a thing that's not like, you know, your plaza space, so
it was meant to just indicate that it is a fitness surface, which is, you
know, a little more resilient and falling down on it, and so forth.
271
00:42:38.475 --> 00:42:41.704
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): But, no, absolutely. I think that
we…
272
00:42:41.825 --> 00:42:47.725
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): We want this to feel like you're
immersed in nature in any of the spaces. And so, again, the idea that
273
00:42:48.135 --> 00:42:58.155
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): one can have a slightly different
experience, but it's all grounded with, you know, planting and local
ecology and simpler.
274
00:42:58.385 --> 00:43:00.365
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): Thank you. Thanks, and just one
more.
275
00:43:00.365 --> 00:43:13.684
Speaker 11 (Quinlan Conference Room): question, and you know, this isn't…
this doesn't have to do with the architecture, so this is more of a
maintenance and a management question. So when you talk about event
spaces, who will manage that? Is that…
276
00:43:13.955 --> 00:43:18.875
Speaker 11 (Quinlan Conference Room): Mr. Paul? Yes. Okay, so that is not
the city.
277
00:43:19.205 --> 00:43:27.385
Speaker 11 (Quinlan Conference Room): So you will have your own
management group or office that will, you know, take applications if
somebody wants to have an event or a festival.
278
00:43:27.385 --> 00:43:30.755
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conference Room): Let me… let me clarify, there will
be…
279
00:43:31.245 --> 00:43:41.565
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conference Room): park agreement, kind of similar to
what we have with Main Street, but the city will have the ability to
utilize those spaces. This development team will be managing those
spaces.
280
00:43:42.795 --> 00:43:46.344
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conference Room): City will have the ability to work
with City Development. Okay, great.
281
00:43:47.005 --> 00:43:49.714
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conference Room): One final clarifying question.
282
00:43:50.980 --> 00:44:00.459
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): So, these open spaces, are they
primarily for residents of the Rice, or is it open to the entire
Cupertino public? It's… it's all public.
283
00:44:00.465 --> 00:44:02.985
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): Like, every… the ones that were,
284
00:44:03.485 --> 00:44:11.605
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): showing are all, yeah. Yeah, all
for the… all the ground-level ones are… that we talked about are… The 7.9
fluid. Yeah.
285
00:44:11.605 --> 00:44:12.435
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): Earl.
286
00:44:12.440 --> 00:44:13.100
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): Open for the public.
287
00:44:13.105 --> 00:44:21.174
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): Public open space. And they will
have to work with you if they want to have any events, potentially, on
that open area. Right, okay.
288
00:44:21.385 --> 00:44:22.135
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): Through the chair.
289
00:44:22.135 --> 00:44:23.635
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conference Room): Just clarifying.
290
00:44:23.635 --> 00:44:32.615
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): question. It says here to provide
input on the proposed public. We're talking right now, clarification, so
when do we start to put our input?
291
00:44:32.620 --> 00:44:34.850
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): No, that'll be coming after the…
292
00:44:34.855 --> 00:44:35.615
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): According to the life.
293
00:44:35.615 --> 00:44:36.375
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conference Room): Are you getting ridiculous.
294
00:44:36.375 --> 00:44:37.114
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): I don't miss
295
00:44:37.860 --> 00:44:54.370
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): No, no, no, it is. It's going to
come. Yeah, so, because after clarification questions, we need to open to
the public for any comments, if any, then we'll come back for comments
and discussions. Absolutely. So, do you have one more clarification
question? One more clarifying question.
296
00:44:54.375 --> 00:45:07.564
Speaker 11 (Quinlan Conference Room): The East Recreation Park, 1.1… 1.21
acres. How does that compare to a regular soccer field? I think you said
a small scale, so I was just curious about how that compares to a…
297
00:45:08.735 --> 00:45:09.955
Speaker 11 (Quinlan Conference Room): Yeah.
298
00:45:10.855 --> 00:45:13.744
Speaker 11 (Quinlan Conference Room): I knew there was gonna be a math
question.
299
00:45:14.550 --> 00:45:31.450
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): They… it is not a full-size field.
It's… it's a little bit smaller, but in many cases, for, like, kind of
youth soccer, a lot of times they'll play 6-on-6 or 5-on-5. The idea is
that you could get a couple of those in that space. It's, it's…
300
00:45:32.070 --> 00:45:35.430
Speaker 11 (Quinlan Conference Room): Maybe you taught soccer, or, you
know, are adapted.
301
00:45:35.435 --> 00:45:48.195
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): So there's… despite… there's all
the great things that come with having playfields, at the same time, when
you get to the full-size regulation, then you start to attract different
groups of interested parties.
302
00:45:48.735 --> 00:45:57.935
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conference Room): when I did the measurements, it… the
green area is slightly over the size of the soccer fields, but you
wouldn't have the necessary out-of-bounds… Right, right.
303
00:45:57.935 --> 00:46:04.835
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): Yeah, the software zone is
definitely… yeah, it would be nice. Thank you. Thank you.
304
00:46:04.840 --> 00:46:21.949
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): one portion which is kind of
connected with what comes to Stanocaster. So you said a turfed playfield
on the west side, I believe, and then there's an east, recreational park.
Both looks alike. Is it as similar? Because it's the same playing field,
the turf playfield.
305
00:46:21.955 --> 00:46:31.175
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): They are basically the same, the
idea. But one, you know, again, it was to distribute the program on both
sides of Wolf and so forth, just so… So both are tough. Yes.
306
00:46:31.180 --> 00:46:32.509
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): Both are tough places.
307
00:46:32.510 --> 00:46:45.790
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): Correct, yes. The idea… we felt
that the one on the west side, because it's, you know, it's smaller, and
it's kind of in the midst of buildings and so forth, was more likely to
be kind of a passive, you know, green lawn space.
308
00:46:45.910 --> 00:47:02.580
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): The East Recreational Park, we
thought, would have a newer use for, you know, organized play in some
way, shape, or form. But it doesn't mean you couldn't do something, you
know, informal, like throw a frisbee or something over there. But it's
not meant… the one on the east is likely to have the bigger load. It's
larger.
309
00:47:02.580 --> 00:47:08.960
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): you got parking on both sides, you
know, right next to it, and so forth, so… Thank you. Is it grass or
natural.
310
00:47:08.965 --> 00:47:10.334
Speaker 11 (Quinlan Conference Room): Turf, or is it…
311
00:47:10.930 --> 00:47:15.070
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): It's not artificial. It's
artificial. It's not artificial. It's not artificial.
312
00:47:15.075 --> 00:47:16.415
Speaker 11 (Quinlan Conference Room): clerkies are…
313
00:47:16.415 --> 00:47:17.955
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): Preferences to have.
314
00:47:18.075 --> 00:47:19.575
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): Natural grass. Natural grass.
315
00:47:19.815 --> 00:47:21.075
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conference Room): Thank you, yes.
316
00:47:21.075 --> 00:47:28.125
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): I appreciate it, but can you
elaborate on the bike really good cubes? But just for the record, why?
Why? Natural? Yes.
317
00:47:29.195 --> 00:47:32.085
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): We… the… And I'm with you on that,
by the way.
318
00:47:32.085 --> 00:47:44.214
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): Yeah, no, no, it's interesting
because, you know, again, I would say that a lot of the decisions about
artificial turf, at least in our experience, are due to maintenance and
operations, right? It's just easier to take care of. Fortunately…
319
00:47:44.435 --> 00:47:58.054
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): you have this person who's going to
be keeping up all the landscape in the parks and open space, which… the
turf is just a more pleasant thing to play on. It's not as hot, you don't
have issues with pets and all that kind of thing on it.
320
00:47:58.105 --> 00:48:12.404
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): And even though it's, yes, it's
higher water use, say, a native plant, it certainly, got some stormwater
capabilities and other elements that make it beneficial. Plus, it just,
in my mind, it looks a little nicer in this cooler, so…
321
00:48:12.545 --> 00:48:19.345
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): it would be our preference to do
that, but it does require more maintenance, obviously, than our official
turf condition.
322
00:48:19.345 --> 00:48:30.794
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): Classifying question was, do you
have any open area that is strictly for the residents of the rice? Or is
every open space completely open to the public?
323
00:48:30.795 --> 00:48:50.064
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): The ones up on the, on the building
chairs are private, so the… these, for example, like, up on these, like,
third and fourth floors or whatever, those are private for those
individual buildings. The residents can definitely use the lower level as
a member of the public. And how big is the.
324
00:48:50.065 --> 00:48:51.405
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conference Room): space?
325
00:48:51.410 --> 00:48:57.580
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): these upper ones here. Yeah. They
vary. I mean, some of them are, you know… We had roughly.
326
00:48:57.585 --> 00:49:03.915
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): an equivalent amount of acreage at
the podium level as we can. Oh, about 8 acres?
327
00:49:04.170 --> 00:49:04.790
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): Yep.
328
00:49:05.085 --> 00:49:11.134
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): Particularly, you know, this one is
a quite, quite a large one here, and same here. So,
329
00:49:11.595 --> 00:49:29.175
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): But these are often… I mean,
they're on structure, so it means they have, you know, depth limitations
and so forth that can make it a little more challenging. So, we have,
even where we have garages on the lower level, we have depth to get the
trees and things in on the upper deck, kind of being judicious about
where you might put them, so…
330
00:49:29.295 --> 00:49:42.255
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): And they also have a lot of this,
even though they're drawn green, they may have swimming pools and things
like that up there, so… Which is not open to the public. Not open to the
public, and it's not really green, but it is outdoor, you know, space for
the retirement.
331
00:49:43.045 --> 00:49:46.225
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): No, none of it is green, okay.
Well, some of it is. Okay.
332
00:49:47.430 --> 00:49:47.920
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): Thank you.
333
00:49:47.925 --> 00:49:48.954
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conference Room): Thank you. Huh?
334
00:49:49.375 --> 00:49:57.165
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): Since I think we have finished with
all the clarification questions, I'll now open this to the public
comment. Staff, do we have anyone?
335
00:49:57.325 --> 00:49:58.775
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): on the Zoom.
336
00:49:59.640 --> 00:50:02.550
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): We have no hands raised on the same
chair. Anybody in the room?
337
00:50:02.550 --> 00:50:11.670
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): No? Okay, that is the case. I'll
close the public comment. Now let's move on to the Commissioner's open
discussions and comments.
338
00:50:12.360 --> 00:50:16.510
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): No, I think Commissioner Bono, you
got it. Oh, sorry, you already have it. Okay, please.
339
00:50:16.630 --> 00:50:17.570
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): I, you know.
340
00:50:17.575 --> 00:50:34.085
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): I really love the bike lanes and how
extensive it is. I also know that there are lots of people very
passionate about walking, brisklia. Can that space be used by both these
groups of people, or is it strictly just the bikes?
341
00:50:34.125 --> 00:50:41.095
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): Both. Tends to be both. And so how
do we balance safety? Because as people are walking and there's bike.
342
00:50:41.265 --> 00:50:54.734
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): Because it can be dangerous if
there's… Right. So is there any kind of area that you're cordoning of
this part is for the bikers, and this part is for… I mean, basically
splitting that for bikers and walkers' lanes?
343
00:50:55.140 --> 00:50:56.569
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): You wanna… I mean, it's… this is…
344
00:50:56.575 --> 00:51:13.075
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conference Room): the one bike lane, so we'll have
enough width for pedestrians and bicyclists, and yes, bicycles should not
be going at 30 miles an hour down this lane, because it is a shared path,
but there's enough space for passing, and so we can continue walking.
345
00:51:13.075 --> 00:51:21.465
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): put some notification, please meet a
certain speed limit, or… because some of them are very professional-like.
And we can, you know, we will evaluate that when it comes.
346
00:51:21.465 --> 00:51:24.415
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conference Room): up is people lying, circuit in the
book.
347
00:51:24.605 --> 00:51:31.794
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conference Room): But, we will be making sure to
remain safe, and we'll be working closely with the developer on that as
well.
348
00:51:31.795 --> 00:51:37.055
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): And how wide are these lanes again?
Just to remind you? I think they're 12 plus additional.
349
00:51:37.055 --> 00:51:43.075
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conference Room): two foot on each side for, like a…
Step a shoulder, yeah.
350
00:51:43.075 --> 00:51:49.055
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): On the shoulder, pedestrians can
walk, I take it. So that's about roughly 16 feet, about a dog.
351
00:51:49.055 --> 00:52:04.794
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): Right, so the idea that you can get
two-way plus, you know, pedestrians can be off to the side. I also will
just point out, too, that at least in our section of the Class 1, there's
some significant 90-degree turns, which definitely help slow down, you
know, bikers to those turns.
352
00:52:04.795 --> 00:52:16.054
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): The second question was about the
food trucks that you have. You have… I saw three, but I'm assuming… is it
just space for three, or are you saying that you're just showing it in
the picture as three? We… I mean…
353
00:52:16.055 --> 00:52:22.684
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): We had shown 3 just because we
didn't want the space to be too enormous, plus they also can park on the
street, so…
354
00:52:22.685 --> 00:52:41.555
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): But we did want to just show that
they can come into the public space in that case, if that was part of the
event. So, the idea is that you can… there's a way for service and trucks
to come through without disrupting the park design, so there's enough
room for them to maneuver, come in, park, and then drive away. Same thing
for setup, so we want to allow for that.
355
00:52:41.555 --> 00:52:45.484
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): What is the procedure for selecting
a food truck?
356
00:52:45.615 --> 00:52:59.535
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): food trucks, which… what is the
basis for them to come in? Or is that, like, a round-robin? X amount of
time, these trucks can be there? Have you guys thought about it? Who's
going to manage that?
357
00:52:59.535 --> 00:53:01.075
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): Or, as we get.
358
00:53:01.075 --> 00:53:04.034
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): Closer to opening the project for,
359
00:53:04.035 --> 00:53:08.354
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): So we haven't really gotten into the
details of it.
360
00:53:09.255 --> 00:53:15.775
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): I'm assuming money can play a role
in it, how much they're willing to pay, or… is it for pay, or is it just
free?
361
00:53:16.445 --> 00:53:17.275
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): Really.
362
00:53:17.275 --> 00:53:39.304
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): we haven't thought about this as a
revenue source. This is really just a way to create a 24-hour
destination, create vibrancy, create a reason to come to what we think is
this new town center. So that's just one, one, one idea, one reason for
me to come here, because there's a
363
00:53:39.305 --> 00:53:40.904
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): Cultural dining, and…
364
00:53:41.515 --> 00:54:01.405
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): nature experiences. And I think that
the food trucks will, you know, could be an idea that happens. We know
that, there are other places as well. We have Main Street and, Cupertino,
and that's also a highly programmed place. So just as an example of what
this might be, you can look at how Main Street and Cupertino's been
operated.
365
00:54:01.955 --> 00:54:05.234
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): This would be an extension,
366
00:54:05.525 --> 00:54:13.855
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): Probably a longer session, but just
as an example, that's a precedent that you can move to to understand what
might happen. It's a good idea.
367
00:54:13.860 --> 00:54:18.360
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): Thank you very much. Yeah, thank
you. Also, just one other thing on the bikes is.
368
00:54:18.360 --> 00:54:20.949
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): The… the streets are all shared by…
369
00:54:21.420 --> 00:54:40.090
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): bike car as well. So, in addition
to the bike, you know, the… their typical kind of, you know, like, small
residential street where you can ride them. It's not like bikes can only
be on the bike trail. Oh, there can be cars going, you said? No, they're
in the… in the blocks. Bikes can… will be riding on the street as well,
so, yeah, so they… in addition to
370
00:54:40.840 --> 00:54:48.639
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): In addition to that. Right, in
addition, they're also able to kind of move through… That's good to know.
Yeah, so… It's not just there.
371
00:54:48.645 --> 00:55:04.114
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): The portion of the bike-pedestrian
trail that will be dedicated to this park is roughly 3 quarters of a mile
in length. This entire project has almost 2.75 miles of bike trails,
which are Class 1, 2, 3, 4 bike trail.
372
00:55:04.115 --> 00:55:08.985
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): And all of them are about 16 feet
wide, 12 feet plus 2 and 2. These are different types.
373
00:55:08.985 --> 00:55:15.985
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): some of the bike trails, but to
Skip's point, they, go throughout the block system of
374
00:55:16.265 --> 00:55:29.874
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): So there will be other ways for
cyclists to move across the site, move through the site, not necessarily,
around the park. Thank you. First, Amy, do you want to…
375
00:55:29.875 --> 00:55:34.094
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conference Room): Commissioner Sonic, go ahead,
please. Yeah, I'll just reiterating my point.
376
00:55:34.095 --> 00:55:39.934
Speaker 11 (Quinlan Conference Room): about the nature play and
incorporating that. On the culture gardens, I don't know if it's…
377
00:55:40.155 --> 00:55:54.125
Speaker 11 (Quinlan Conference Room): that's possible, because it would
look very linear. But I know that one of the other things that the public
was very interested in at one time was healing gardens. So, if there were
plants that were associated with, you know, healing.
378
00:55:56.785 --> 00:56:04.175
Speaker 11 (Quinlan Conference Room): different… yeah, in different
cultures. Yeah. It was a culture garden, too, so… in different cultures,
different plants.
379
00:56:04.605 --> 00:56:10.315
Speaker 11 (Quinlan Conference Room): something identifying, you know,
this is kind of a plant, this is how it's used in different parts of the
world.
380
00:56:10.495 --> 00:56:28.084
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): I think, yeah. No, I think that's
exactly… culture was any number of ways to display, kind of, elements,
either historical, kind of, planting or, you know, medicinal planting is
a great idea. I think it's… this is meant to be, kind of, a really
interesting, complex, almost like a botanic block, if you will. Yeah, no.
381
00:56:28.165 --> 00:56:30.524
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): I think that's a great idea, yeah.
382
00:56:30.830 --> 00:56:32.270
Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conference Room): How rewarding and.
383
00:56:32.275 --> 00:56:41.234
Speaker 11 (Quinlan Conference Room): for me to sit here and be able to
bring that perspective to you. That's great.
384
00:56:41.235 --> 00:56:44.995
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conference Room): that they did do a very good job of
reviewing the Parks and Rec Master Plan.
385
00:56:44.995 --> 00:56:48.735
Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conference Room): It comes across. Well, it was easy
to review.
386
00:56:48.735 --> 00:56:49.515
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): Oh, cool.
387
00:56:49.515 --> 00:56:53.485
Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conference Room): Oh my gosh, it wasn't easy to put…
No, I can only imagine.
388
00:56:53.485 --> 00:56:58.145
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): Thank you for doing that. Yeah,
thank you. Thank you, Commission.
389
00:56:58.145 --> 00:56:59.994
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conference Room): I just had a quick.
390
00:56:59.995 --> 00:57:07.964
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): Good question, and piggyback on what
you're saying as far as, you mentioned that it would be a good reason to
come to the conflict.
391
00:57:08.265 --> 00:57:15.814
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): Or anyone else not living there, but
one, would you consider a garden rental area, a communal…
392
00:57:16.525 --> 00:57:22.625
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): Pickleball court, all of those
things that could incorporate, because you do have the space.
393
00:57:22.630 --> 00:57:23.920
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conference Room): you know…
394
00:57:24.115 --> 00:57:36.715
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): would be the noise factor? I'm just
saying, if you want to marry residents outside of the space and people
from the inside, you know, people love to garden, you know.
395
00:57:36.715 --> 00:57:37.475
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conference Room): in the space there.
396
00:57:37.475 --> 00:57:56.974
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): and seeing all the numbers of, you
have all those, BMR and apartments and all of that, blah blah blah, it
might be something that can help to actually, you know, kind of go
together. Now, also, on top of some certain buildings in Cupertino, I'm
not going to tell you who, but they do have beaches.
397
00:57:56.975 --> 00:57:57.735
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conference Room): Sorry, I…
398
00:57:57.735 --> 00:58:18.554
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): Are you planning to have some on top
of some of the buildings? Because we have tremendous amount of different
types of bees in Cupertino. Yes. Even the museum here is bringing out
tons of honey that can be purchased. Right. There's an opportunity to
help the ecosystem here, and it's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity since
that buildup, so…
399
00:58:18.555 --> 00:58:19.415
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): And…
400
00:58:19.595 --> 00:58:28.524
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): honestly, with all that space, I'm
wondering if we cannot have a communal pool for everyone else to go.
Okay.
401
00:58:28.530 --> 00:58:29.250
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): roll.
402
00:58:29.360 --> 00:58:34.450
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): very interesting suggestions, and
ones we can definitely look into, for sure.
403
00:58:34.455 --> 00:58:36.925
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): I asked about the,
404
00:58:37.755 --> 00:58:47.194
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): Perf, obviously, we know it's not
synthetic, and obviously, I'm sure you will mitigatehouse in case we go
back to drought, and this and that, as far as the plants.
405
00:58:47.195 --> 00:58:49.835
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conference Room): to do. Because it's going to be a
massive undertaking.
406
00:58:49.835 --> 00:58:53.254
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): big, but it's a massive one. And
I'll just say, it's wealth.
407
00:58:53.255 --> 00:58:55.854
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conference Room): It's really fun, I can't wait for it
to come up.
408
00:58:57.330 --> 00:59:01.329
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conference Room): Like, Commissioner Stan, I guess
one more.
409
00:59:01.620 --> 00:59:02.430
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conference Room): I also know.
410
00:59:02.430 --> 00:59:11.320
Speaker 11 (Quinlan Conference Room): that you, put up their inclusive
play, and I hope that that's not just about work, but it really gets
incorporated into how you're designing the play space.
411
00:59:11.320 --> 00:59:12.129
Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conference Room): That's just the goal.
412
00:59:12.135 --> 00:59:16.655
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): Yes. Yes. Yes. That's awesome.
Because it's too much.
413
00:59:16.660 --> 00:59:29.500
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): have had a really moving
presentation in the past about inclusivity, and I think Sedgwick High
School Elementary School was the first one, and a lot of parks have
apparently… I mean, it would be wonderful, thank you. Right.
414
00:59:29.880 --> 00:59:37.909
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): The cost is very minimal when you
plan it from the beginning, and I think it's much more expensive to do it
afterwards. Yes, yes, exactly.
415
00:59:39.090 --> 00:59:41.579
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conference Room): Thank you. Thank you, Commissioner.
And I think I am…
416
00:59:41.580 --> 00:59:54.830
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): Just one or two comments. One is
that I was talking about the inclusive. So you have a children's play
area that's separate, and then you have an inclusive, all-inclusive play
area, is it? There are two, or only one? In your plan, you have a
children's play area.
417
00:59:55.840 --> 00:59:59.310
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): That was meant to be the same.
418
00:59:59.315 --> 01:00:00.715
Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conference Room): It is the same, okay.
419
01:00:01.005 --> 01:00:01.605
Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conference Room): Got it.
420
01:00:01.605 --> 01:00:11.134
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): So, yeah, that's only one question I
had. But the other general question is that I know the… for the
construction of all of them, they'll be working with the,
421
01:00:11.395 --> 01:00:21.014
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): public works. Similarly, I'm sure
for the gardening to align with our master plan, because the park and
recreation
422
01:00:22.175 --> 01:00:27.285
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): department will also work hand-in-
hand with them when they set a cycle, correct?
423
01:00:28.060 --> 01:00:43.839
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): We'll be involved with the
negotiation process of how the spaces and how the… like, similar to Main
Street, right? We came to you, I think it was last month, where we talked
about the Teen Resource Fair. It was amazing, because we have an
agreement
424
01:00:44.050 --> 01:01:02.339
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): with the developer there to be able
to use that space for some of our programming, right? We haven't started
the negotiations yet, but it is the full intent that we will be able to
use some of these spaces and have complementary programs, you know,
throughout the community, so…
425
01:01:02.340 --> 01:01:03.039
Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conference Room): That'll be awesome.
426
01:01:03.040 --> 01:01:16.669
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conference Room): And I will indicate, too, that we've
already kind of rolled Parks and Recs into the review of these plans.
They got to see this before we presented it here, and we'll continue to
include them as these designs come through. Awesome.
427
01:01:16.675 --> 01:01:17.355
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conference Room): Thank you.
428
01:01:17.360 --> 01:01:31.929
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): First of all, I think, as
Commissioner Standard said, I was also part of those coming up with a
master plan many years back for the park, and it looks like you really
put in a time on seeing everything and trying to incorporate. Truly,
truly appreciate it, and I'm sure that
429
01:01:32.280 --> 01:01:50.480
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): we don't know how many years will
take those master plan to come to close, that's what we're talking about,
but it looks like this might bring many things to the quick conclusion of
those ask for it. So, truly appreciate it, and yeah, in future, if
further, once it gets developed, I'm sure that we are not going to wait
for many more years, so…
430
01:01:50.480 --> 01:02:02.740
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): hope to get some more updates once
the progress is made, and would love to get some more inputs in the
future. Yes. Thank you, thanks for taking the time, and especially the
folks on the phone who are sitting there.
431
01:02:02.800 --> 01:02:13.499
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): Oh my god, it's now 11 plus. You may
be, dozing off now. Please, get back to sleep, and thank you so much.
Really appreciate your time. They're laughing online.
432
01:02:14.225 --> 01:02:15.694
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): Yeah, thank you so much.
433
01:02:15.695 --> 01:02:16.474
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conference Room): So much. Thank you.
434
01:02:16.475 --> 01:02:21.085
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): very much for your time, and really
enjoyed the conversation, and thanks for your input. I appreciate it.
435
01:02:22.680 --> 01:02:24.990
Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conference Room): Thanks, guys. Thank you so much.
436
01:02:26.640 --> 01:02:28.140
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): Yep, good to see you here.
437
01:02:30.570 --> 01:02:40.960
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): We need one minute just to go ahead
and do a quick transition and allow them to, step out as well, that way
we're not trying to talk over and then… Okay, so we'll be great for,
438
01:02:40.965 --> 01:02:41.724
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): Couple of minutes?
439
01:02:41.725 --> 01:02:47.004
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): That would be great. Why don't we,
shoot to come back at 8.08? Does that work? Yeah, we'll take a fun.
440
01:02:47.005 --> 01:02:55.654
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): 10 minutes for it right now, we'll
come back at 8.08. That would be helpful. Thank you. You're bouncing the
emails from here.
441
01:02:55.660 --> 01:03:02.920
Speaker 14 (Quinlan Conference Room): You're on mute, no? Yeah, help me.
Not yet. Oh, look at this person real. Yeah, right.
442
01:09:32.460 --> 01:09:33.860
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): We're good to go.
443
01:09:34.020 --> 01:09:37.120
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): And we'll make sure we…
444
01:09:37.125 --> 01:09:39.364
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conference Room): Awesome. Okay, we're back.
445
01:09:39.365 --> 01:09:40.364
Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conference Room): I believe we're back on.
446
01:09:40.370 --> 01:09:43.859
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): Yes. Okay, thank you.
447
01:09:43.865 --> 01:09:52.354
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): Thank you. So, after a break, we are
back here, and let's go back to the, old business, item number 2.
448
01:09:52.475 --> 01:09:54.995
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): Subject is Senior Services.
449
01:09:55.135 --> 01:10:09.374
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): subcommittee update, and to receive
an update of the findings from the subcommittee, and both Commissioner
Swami and myself were there together, worked on it, but I would like
Commissioner Swami to present it.
450
01:10:09.375 --> 01:10:19.135
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): Give me one second. We were staged
to do the CIP presentation, so if we're gonna make that switch, then I
just… we need to redo this.
451
01:10:19.135 --> 01:10:26.355
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): Let's make a motion to stay on new
business and move with agenda item number 4.
452
01:10:26.635 --> 01:10:27.395
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): It's funny.
453
01:10:27.395 --> 01:10:28.135
Speaker 11 (Quinlan Conference Room): Gopal.
454
01:10:28.140 --> 01:10:34.149
Speaker 14 (Quinlan Conference Room): So, can I have a second? A second.
Second. All right. Go for a vote on this?
455
01:10:34.155 --> 01:10:34.985
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): facilitate him.
456
01:10:34.990 --> 01:10:39.330
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): We don't need to… we don't need to
vote. We need to vote. We need to vote.
457
01:10:39.660 --> 01:10:40.660
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): Sorry.
458
01:10:41.370 --> 01:10:43.329
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): We have a plane.
459
01:10:43.330 --> 01:10:44.819
Speaker 14 (Quinlan Conference Room): Everything stays. We're ready.
460
01:10:44.825 --> 01:10:46.695
Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conference Room): So, thank you so much for your.
461
01:10:46.700 --> 01:10:50.140
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): flexibility. Commissioner Bono? Yes.
462
01:10:51.020 --> 01:10:52.610
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): Commissioner Stanick? Yes.
463
01:10:53.580 --> 01:10:55.400
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): Commissioner Spami? Yes.
464
01:10:56.470 --> 01:11:01.160
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): Vice Chair Sharika, who's absent.
Chair Kamara? Yes.
465
01:11:01.160 --> 01:11:01.640
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conference Room): Okay.
466
01:11:01.640 --> 01:11:14.539
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): Let's go ahead on that one. Let me
read out that to you. Please. We are moving to item number four. These
are capital improvement programs, fiscal year 2026-2027, and a 5-year
plan.
467
01:11:14.540 --> 01:11:22.529
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): The recommended action is to receive
the presentation to provide input on the development of the proposed
capital improvement programs.
468
01:11:22.630 --> 01:11:31.409
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): For the fiscal year 2026 and 27 of
the five-year plan, as related to park and recreation funding. Thank you,
please.
469
01:11:31.630 --> 01:11:34.100
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): I am going to put me to sweat.
470
01:11:34.105 --> 01:11:39.214
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conference Room): to our Capital Improvement Manager,
Sue Michael, and she'll give you the full breakdown.
471
01:11:39.485 --> 01:11:40.745
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conference Room): Awesome. Excellent.
472
01:11:41.035 --> 01:11:43.524
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conference Room): Good evening, commissioners, in
terms of the public.
473
01:11:43.700 --> 01:11:53.160
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conference Room): I am Susan Michael, I am the CIP
Manager, and tonight we're here to introduce the proposal for the fiscal
year 2026
474
01:11:53.280 --> 01:11:55.800
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conference Room): 2027 Speedway program.
475
01:11:55.940 --> 01:12:14.640
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conference Room): So, I wanted to note that the
action tonight is to receive the presentation and provide input on the
development of the proposed capital improvement programs, fiscal year
2026-2027, and 5-year plan as related to parts and reapplication. So, the
takeaway there is actually we don't need a vote on anything.
476
01:12:14.640 --> 01:12:20.359
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conference Room): We will review the CIP and the
2026… 26-27 proposal.
477
01:12:20.360 --> 01:12:29.740
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conference Room): And answer any questions that you
may have. If you wish to provide support on the projects informally or
formally with a vote, you can do this, but it's not required.
478
01:12:31.100 --> 01:12:32.390
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conference Room): Next page.
479
01:12:34.020 --> 01:12:46.970
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conference Room): The… there is a CIP webpage that I
wanted to bring to your attention. It's on… if you go to the city's
website, navigate to Public Works, you'll find it on the right-hand side.
It has a lot of information about existing projects.
480
01:12:47.420 --> 01:12:48.699
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conference Room): Next slide.
481
01:12:53.460 --> 01:12:57.579
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conference Room): Get a last-minute switch of who's
gonna do it.
482
01:12:58.570 --> 01:13:11.610
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conference Room): So, I wanted to show… there's…
these next three slides are slides that I basically copied from my
presentation in March to the Council, and this gives a look at the
current CIP, so one of my
483
01:13:11.660 --> 01:13:25.290
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conference Room): you know, reasons for being here is
to say, here's where the CIP is these days. We do have 22 active projects
right now, and 4 of those are parks projects, so both of them in the
green.
484
01:13:25.460 --> 01:13:33.880
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conference Room): Two of those projects are presently
quiet. One is the habitat monitoring of an older project, and the active
project is Lawrence Mitty.
485
01:13:34.320 --> 01:13:35.639
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conference Room): Next slide.
486
01:13:35.890 --> 01:13:45.519
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conference Room): We also… reported on our
achievements for the year. We did complete the Jollyman All-Inclusive
Playground, which is fantastic.
487
01:13:45.710 --> 01:13:50.889
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conference Room): And we also completed the upgrade
of the fire alarm system at the Senior Center.
488
01:13:51.030 --> 01:13:54.339
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conference Room): As part of the Facilities Condition
Assessment Project.
489
01:13:54.970 --> 01:13:56.159
Quinlan Conference Room: On the next slide.
490
01:13:57.270 --> 01:13:58.459
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conference Room): So…
491
01:13:58.660 --> 01:14:04.289
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conference Room): This is a list of projects that
were scheduled to be complete by the end of June, by the end of the
fiscal year.
492
01:14:04.700 --> 01:14:20.840
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conference Room): So they were nearly complete. So I
can say pretty confidently, the Quinlan HVAC work and the roofs at
SportsCenter and Quinlan will be complete in June, but the Stevens Creek
bikeways won't be completely done, and if you can tell by the
493
01:14:20.840 --> 01:14:27.379
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conference Room): Parking lot, the photovoltaics
project has a delay, so the next slide gives a little bit more delay.
494
01:14:27.460 --> 01:14:28.510
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conference Room): Tito?
495
01:14:28.790 --> 01:14:39.950
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conference Room): So, we did complete the
installation of the PV modules on the roof of Community Hall, and the
next slide shows SportsCenter.
496
01:14:40.260 --> 01:14:44.720
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conference Room): Which is a nice build-out, gives
some shade for the parking lot.
497
01:14:44.980 --> 01:14:59.410
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conference Room): And so that's all done. And then
the next one is the Queenland, so back here in the rear parking lot,
right now you can see the columns. We are, paused because we're trying to
get a permit for a sprinkler system that we were required to add.
498
01:14:59.460 --> 01:15:11.810
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conference Room): to go under the carport. So, we
still believe that the project will be completed in September or early
October, and we're still going to hit our Need 2 goals. It was this
weird…
499
01:15:12.100 --> 01:15:28.670
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conference Room): part of the code where they said
that we had another year to do this particular project, because it's an
aggregated site, all the things. But anyway, we're still on target. So,
we hit our target for the first two sites, definitely. We're filing our
paperwork now. So that's exciting.
500
01:15:29.780 --> 01:15:39.169
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conference Room): Next slide. And I also gave an
update in the council meeting just on the Lawrence City Park project,
just because
501
01:15:39.540 --> 01:15:48.230
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conference Room): people do ask about it. We are
continuing to progress on what we call the regulatory permitting. We're
working with the Department of Environmental Health.
502
01:15:48.330 --> 01:16:05.460
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conference Room): fish and wildlife, that kind of
thing, so we're working on that. We're still hoping to get construction
drawings done by the end of the year, and start construction, early on,
either in December or January, so…
503
01:16:07.310 --> 01:16:09.390
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conference Room): Next slide…
504
01:16:11.040 --> 01:16:20.690
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conference Room): So the… this is for the new
project. So now I'm going to go over the proposals that we did to Council
for the CIP that are the four new parks projects. Next slide.
505
01:16:21.650 --> 01:16:22.190
Quinlan Conference Room: Don't.
506
01:16:22.400 --> 01:16:28.420
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conference Room): So there's four slides. You can see
that it's about half a million dollars for those four projects, at least
presently.
507
01:16:28.560 --> 01:16:30.940
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conference Room): And, go to the next slide.
508
01:16:32.590 --> 01:16:41.699
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conference Room): The first project is the Blackberry
Farm Golf Course Pro Shop, and it's in obvious need of an upgrade.
509
01:16:41.840 --> 01:16:48.070
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conference Room): We've got a great deal of foot
traffic, and it generates about $100,000 in revenue.
510
01:16:48.350 --> 01:16:53.529
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conference Room): And it needs electrical and
accessibility improvements in addition to the facelift.
511
01:16:53.770 --> 01:16:59.629
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conference Room): We'll have to submit for building,
electrical, and sanitary permits at a minimum, so we…
512
01:16:59.960 --> 01:17:02.330
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conference Room): That project is short and sweet.
513
01:17:03.060 --> 01:17:04.929
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conference Room): The next project?
514
01:17:05.890 --> 01:17:09.009
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conference Room): is the Lesh Property Improvements.
515
01:17:09.170 --> 01:17:15.270
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conference Room): This actually came at the following
council meeting, but this project that Council is in favor of
516
01:17:15.380 --> 01:17:27.389
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conference Room): This project proposes to demolish
the existing residential building, and basically replace it with, native
planting, and perhaps a pathway and a bench, something very simple.
517
01:17:27.750 --> 01:17:29.989
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conference Room): So, we will…
518
01:17:30.140 --> 01:17:36.009
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conference Room): get that confirmed when we go back
for final approval. That's the direction that we're heading.
519
01:17:37.050 --> 01:17:38.780
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conference Room): Next slide.
520
01:17:40.120 --> 01:17:45.540
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conference Room): And… Memorial Park Pickleball Sound
Attenuation.
521
01:17:46.420 --> 01:17:59.480
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conference Room): The pickleball community and the
nearby residents have requested that Public Works move forward with sound
attenuation improvements at the Memorial Park Pickleball courts. Public
Works is evaluating options.
522
01:17:59.660 --> 01:18:05.859
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conference Room): Preliminary review indicates that
sound panels and a new structurally improved fence will be required.
523
01:18:06.760 --> 01:18:08.030
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conference Room): That's the whole project.
524
01:18:08.420 --> 01:18:09.280
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conference Room): Next.
525
01:18:10.520 --> 01:18:15.470
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conference Room): And we're also planning to
resurface the SportsCenter ports.
526
01:18:15.700 --> 01:18:16.740
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conference Room): This…
527
01:18:16.790 --> 01:18:35.909
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conference Room): is a maintenance project, but it
has an engineering component, so that's how it got kicked into CIP. The
Quartz 4 resurfaced 10 years ago, and it's supposed to happen every 6 to
8 years. Doing this project lessens risk and liability and provides a
safer, more enjoyable playing arena for the community.
528
01:18:38.050 --> 01:18:40.260
Quinlan Conference Room: That's all an implanted, nicely.
529
01:18:41.930 --> 01:18:58.960
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conference Room): So, I just wanted to end with a
note about the 5-year plan. Typically, every year, we have a $2 million
budget to plan for, and these projects work into that $2 million budget.
This is just the parks projects, though.
530
01:18:59.030 --> 01:19:04.120
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conference Room): And so, as I mentioned earlier, the
4 projects, five projects.
531
01:19:04.620 --> 01:19:10.349
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conference Room): are presently at just under half a
million dollars. We don't have a budget yet for flush.
532
01:19:10.630 --> 01:19:16.040
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conference Room): And… The next big project is to
hopefully
533
01:19:16.760 --> 01:19:19.219
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conference Room): Go back to the golf course, and…
534
01:19:19.490 --> 01:19:28.209
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conference Room): We agreed to do the upgrades to the
irrigation system there at, you know, at least a $1.5 million project.
535
01:19:28.670 --> 01:19:34.569
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conference Room): Excuse me, it'll have some upgrades
to the book offers that are safety, not so much…
536
01:19:34.680 --> 01:19:37.389
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conference Room): We won't be redoing the golf
courses, though.
537
01:19:38.140 --> 01:19:44.340
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conference Room): And then, in our fourth and fifth
year, we have to attack the shade structures at some of the parks.
538
01:19:44.990 --> 01:19:47.950
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conference Room): And the 5-year plan isn't approved
539
01:19:48.120 --> 01:19:57.479
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conference Room): funded yet. It's the stated
direction that we're planning on now. For example, last year's 5-year
plan didn't mention tennis courts resurfacing
540
01:19:57.710 --> 01:20:05.340
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conference Room): So, things come up that rise to the
top each year, so… but that is the plan for now, and that is my
presentation.
541
01:20:06.040 --> 01:20:08.059
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conference Room): Thank you. Excellent.
542
01:20:09.300 --> 01:20:18.339
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): Okay, so, Commissioner's any
clarifying questions… Oh, wow. So many clarifying questions. Before you
open the public comment. So, Commissioner Bono, please.
543
01:20:18.345 --> 01:20:19.605
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conference Room): They just have a very easy.
544
01:20:20.045 --> 01:20:25.554
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): question in regards to resurfacing
for the Thanksgiving area.
545
01:20:25.825 --> 01:20:30.705
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): Will it be ongoing? Meaning, is it
gonna be all shut off?
546
01:20:30.875 --> 01:20:41.204
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): and work at once, or will it be one
section closed while it's resurfaced and reopen the other one where we're
still doing the… you know what I'm saying? So we still continue to get
through it. Thank you.
547
01:20:41.210 --> 01:20:46.169
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conference Room): Good question. I don't… I don't
know that until we get a package together.
548
01:20:46.290 --> 01:21:01.619
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conference Room): I would say that typically when you
do this kind of project, sure, it's easier to close everything at once,
but we don't have any interest in doing that. So, it would probably be…
I'm almost 100% sure it would be phased, but I can't say how much.
549
01:21:02.280 --> 01:21:03.340
Quinlan Conference Room: Thank you.
550
01:21:04.790 --> 01:21:08.250
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conference Room): Gracious time. Thank you. So, did
you say the blush house?
551
01:21:08.255 --> 01:21:10.954
Speaker 11 (Quinlan Conference Room): is still coming to Council? No.
552
01:21:11.715 --> 01:21:12.775
Speaker 11 (Quinlan Conference Room): We had a…
553
01:21:12.775 --> 01:21:18.054
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conference Room): follow-up meeting, I don't know, he
was the champion of that project. Well, I should explain, I mean.
554
01:21:18.060 --> 01:21:37.249
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conference Room): what we talk about is it's coming
back to Council with the CIP budgets, right? Okay. We had talked about
the entire CIP in March. Blush House came afterwards, so we've added the
Blesshaus into the CIP at this point in time, and that… when Council sees
the entire CIP with the budget, that's when it'll…
555
01:21:37.530 --> 01:21:38.249
Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conference Room): So you'll have.
556
01:21:38.255 --> 01:21:44.235
Speaker 11 (Quinlan Conference Room): an estimate by then, because I see
HTV out there. So we've got $480,000, doesn't include Blush House.
557
01:21:44.235 --> 01:21:52.224
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conference Room): Understood. We will probably be
coming back for… with an estimate after we do a little bit more digging
into it. We've got some…
558
01:21:52.625 --> 01:21:59.285
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conference Room): rough ideas on our own, but we want
to get somebody who does this for a living to give us something better.
559
01:21:59.285 --> 01:22:14.844
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conference Room): anything. We don't want to go out
and contract with a designer for this concept to get us a price until we
have confirmed commitment from Council. So we're probably just going to
do that in July. We have some people lined up, we've already gotten
proposals.
560
01:22:14.990 --> 01:22:21.760
Speaker 11 (Quinlan Conference Room): And how did the priority of Lush
House come up? Because then you've got Stockmeyer House right next to it
that just doesn't matter.
561
01:22:22.035 --> 01:22:32.135
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conference Room): Yeah, there was a specific request
to move the blush forward… blush house forward. We still have… By
Council? I believe it's from Council?
562
01:22:32.375 --> 01:22:44.124
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conference Room): and we do have the city work plan
that does have us looking at both the Bless house as well as
Stoffenmeyer. So Stoffenmeyer will be coming a little later, but…
563
01:22:44.335 --> 01:22:48.574
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conference Room): flesh was asked to be pushed
forward. Okay. Stop it wires.
564
01:22:49.170 --> 01:22:52.219
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conference Room): Okay, this is the blow we need
from… Yeah.
565
01:22:52.520 --> 01:22:55.500
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conference Room): There we go. Excellent. Good
question.
566
01:22:55.500 --> 01:23:04.490
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): I have a question on that. I think
overall you said for the 5-year, it's 2 million, correct? For the whole 5
years for CAP? Typically, this year, the…
567
01:23:04.490 --> 01:23:09.720
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conference Room): goal budget is $2 million. Well,
each year? Each year.
568
01:23:09.725 --> 01:23:17.945
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conference Room): roughly $2 million annual budget for
the annual program. For the Park contract? For the entire…
569
01:23:17.945 --> 01:23:18.944
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conference Room): at all. See, I think…
570
01:23:18.945 --> 01:23:24.604
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conference Room): We've got to be very judicious with
the projects that we bring forward.
571
01:23:24.725 --> 01:23:41.765
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): Okay, yeah, because I was wondering
if there is a case, then I think BlackBerry Golf Course, I think the
third year, you said it's $1.5 million irrigation. That means you'll lead
away 75% of your whole budget on that CAP at that time. But that's really
a proposal now, right? Is it all just a proposal.
572
01:23:42.150 --> 01:23:44.220
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conference Room): Right now, it's a placeholder.
Placeholder.
573
01:23:44.225 --> 01:23:49.375
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): But will it go every year for the
Council to approve for every year?
574
01:23:50.230 --> 01:23:54.470
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conference Room): When we're ready to propose the
project, we'll bring it to Council.
575
01:23:54.475 --> 01:23:59.674
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): No, yeah, my question is that, is
that… will it go by year-by-year approval by the Council?
576
01:23:59.675 --> 01:24:03.795
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conference Room): Got it. They're approving the 26th,
27. Got it. Okay.
577
01:24:04.200 --> 01:24:09.139
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): but they will have on a bird's-eye
view on, oh, what's coming up? That's why you were giving me some idea.
578
01:24:09.145 --> 01:24:10.064
Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conference Room): First year is, again.
579
01:24:10.065 --> 01:24:14.014
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conference Room): that we're funding. They are
approving the five-year plan.
580
01:24:14.165 --> 01:24:19.684
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conference Room): But it's not funded. Only the first
year is funded. Got it. Okay.
581
01:24:19.735 --> 01:24:21.554
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): Thank you. Sorry, Commissioner.
582
01:24:21.560 --> 01:24:39.619
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): a clarifying question. When the CIP
project is approved by the City Council, and as you rightly pointed out,
it's a five-year project, for example, and if they just approve one year,
and let's say there's a budget crunch, and they're not able to approve
the… some years in the five-year period.
583
01:24:39.710 --> 01:24:42.939
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): That is, what happens then?
584
01:24:44.610 --> 01:24:53.020
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conference Room): To a certain extent, that's why it's
a plan. We have a plan to spend this, but if the budget comes in and
we're like, we can't… we're not going to give you $2 million, well, the
plan changes.
585
01:24:53.480 --> 01:25:06.359
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conference Room): So, we actually went through that a
couple of years ago at CDTFA. We had a plan, and we actually didn't fund
the capital improvement program, for… was it a year or so? Two years. Two
years.
586
01:25:06.410 --> 01:25:18.599
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conference Room): Sure. So we can take those dollars,
place it towards, other items. We had plenty of projects at that time, so
we continued to work on projects, but yeah, it's a plan, and it can
change.
587
01:25:19.720 --> 01:25:35.900
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): So this budget, for the photovoltaic
project that you showed, it has stayed within the budget, because I know
that when you had presented to us, it was very heartening to see that you
had made provisions for in case it grows over budget. So you had made all
of those provisions
588
01:25:35.960 --> 01:25:41.960
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): Have we stayed within it so we
didn't have to go back to the City Council, correct? Yes, we have a.
589
01:25:41.965 --> 01:25:50.725
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conference Room): approved budget for the project,
the overall project, of $6.3 million. Yeah. And I believe we've
contracted for closer to $4 million.
590
01:25:51.330 --> 01:25:53.860
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): So we are coming way under budget.
So far.
591
01:25:54.790 --> 01:26:00.159
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conference Room): It's not quite done yet.
592
01:26:02.730 --> 01:26:05.730
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): Excellent. That's really heartening
to hear. Thank you.
593
01:26:06.290 --> 01:26:10.559
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conference Room): I'm sure that there will be ways to
spend that money. I'm sure. Oh, yeah.
594
01:26:10.560 --> 01:26:15.089
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): Thank you. Oh, you have one more
question, please. I'm just standing.
595
01:26:15.425 --> 01:26:16.085
Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conference Room): Where do the…
596
01:26:16.085 --> 01:26:20.364
Speaker 11 (Quinlan Conference Room): amenities fit in with all of this?
Because I know you mentioned it there.
597
01:26:20.365 --> 01:26:28.735
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conference Room): one of our active… well, it is one
of our projects. We aren't doing anything for it right now. Okay. And
it's not for…
598
01:26:29.265 --> 01:26:32.935
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conference Room): Well, there's no good reason for
that other than we don't really have the staff to do that.
599
01:26:32.935 --> 01:26:33.695
Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conference Room): It's a resource.
600
01:26:33.695 --> 01:26:47.764
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conference Room): Oh, okay. Our staffing resources
aren't really good at the moment, so we're focusing on PV project, which
is time-sensitive, and a couple of other projects that have grant
associated with them, which are time-sensitive. We know its importance.
601
01:26:48.665 --> 01:26:56.535
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conference Room): But we only have so much power we
can throw at the project. We still have a list of some 20 projects, and
we have…
602
01:26:56.845 --> 01:27:03.105
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conference Room): basically two project managers, and
it's just… it's a heavy lift. So we are working on it, though.
603
01:27:03.110 --> 01:27:08.749
Speaker 11 (Quinlan Conference Room): Yeah, we need to work on, like,
getting more hours in the day for Susan. Cloning?
604
01:27:08.755 --> 01:27:10.624
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): Susan or something?
605
01:27:10.630 --> 01:27:15.530
Speaker 11 (Quinlan Conference Room): But, so the park amenities, they're
funded, we just have not been able to… We've done some.
606
01:27:15.535 --> 01:27:27.375
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conference Room): some work over the last few years,
we just haven't, we haven't had a lot of time, with our CIP division to
focus on it. We kind of picked some of the lower-hanging fruit and done
that, and some of the bigger stuff were…
607
01:27:28.515 --> 01:27:29.635
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conference Room): Project managers.
608
01:27:30.210 --> 01:27:38.170
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): Thank you. Since we don't have any
more clarification questions, I'll open this to you for public comment on
this item. Chief.
609
01:27:38.840 --> 01:27:40.230
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): Any fair holding, Glenn.
610
01:27:40.730 --> 01:27:43.230
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): Yeah. You had my card, right?
611
01:27:43.540 --> 01:27:45.189
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): Mr. Hard's card is there, right?
612
01:27:45.190 --> 01:27:45.909
Speaker 14 (Quinlan Conference Room): Okay, I might…
613
01:27:45.915 --> 01:27:48.144
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): Might have put the wrong number on
there, if this is for…
614
01:27:48.145 --> 01:27:49.664
Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conference Room): Whatever, this is what I want.
615
01:27:50.400 --> 01:27:53.590
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): So, we have one speaker, Chris
Southern.
616
01:27:54.370 --> 01:27:55.969
Quinlan Conference Room: And let me bring up this…
617
01:27:57.580 --> 01:27:58.719
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): Okay, guys.
618
01:27:59.240 --> 01:28:04.050
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): Jeff, my name is Chris Satterly, and
I've been a Cupertino homeowner since 1999.
619
01:28:04.050 --> 01:28:05.140
Speaker 15 (Quinlan Conference Room): 1983, and…
620
01:28:05.310 --> 01:28:14.100
Speaker 15 (Quinlan Conference Room): my, Jollyman Park, the new
playground, just, like, right out our back bedroom window, and and my…
621
01:28:14.410 --> 01:28:22.539
Speaker 15 (Quinlan Conference Room): Grandkids love it, and I… hey, so I
want to give kudos for everybody that was involved in making that happen.
But…
622
01:28:22.680 --> 01:28:24.530
Speaker 15 (Quinlan Conference Room): I'll make this brief.
623
01:28:24.730 --> 01:28:37.370
Speaker 15 (Quinlan Conference Room): I think I'm pretty much preaching
to the choir, but the Memorial Park Sound Attenuation Project is a huge
win-win. The neighbors win because they get this long-awaited and long-
deserved relief.
624
01:28:37.460 --> 01:28:51.990
Speaker 15 (Quinlan Conference Room): From the sound of the pickleball,
and the pickleball community wins because it will make it unnecessary to
implement restrictions that exclude virtually all working people or
require the use of expensive equipment that alters the nature of the
game.
625
01:28:52.030 --> 01:28:58.119
Speaker 15 (Quinlan Conference Room): With the sound barriers, there'll
be no issues with compliance or enforcement of new restrictions.
626
01:28:58.230 --> 01:29:06.740
Speaker 15 (Quinlan Conference Room): Pickleball players will be able to
fully enjoy this wonderful game that has been proven to improve mental
and physical health without torturing our dear neighbors.
627
01:29:06.910 --> 01:29:08.410
Speaker 15 (Quinlan Conference Room): Thank you.
628
01:29:09.280 --> 01:29:11.210
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): Thank you, Chris. For sure.
629
01:29:12.090 --> 01:29:15.660
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): Penny, anyone on the… Zoom…
630
01:29:15.665 --> 01:29:17.165
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): We have no hands raised.
631
01:29:17.165 --> 01:29:28.625
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): Awesome. If that's the case, let's
close the public comments, and then we will open it for commissions for
any other comments and discussions, not the clarification. So, any
comments on…
632
01:29:29.235 --> 01:29:31.635
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): on what was…
633
01:29:31.635 --> 01:29:38.445
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): So this is now… you had a
clarification question now. Is there any comments? Comments or
suggestions? Yes. Any discussions?
634
01:29:38.450 --> 01:29:57.220
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): Susan, did we know… is this a new
requirement to have the sprinklers for the photovoltaic issue, or is it
something that came as a surprise to us? Because I know that's a home
builder, and I did, I was sometimes a bit surprised at knowing and
learning about
635
01:29:57.580 --> 01:30:04.999
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): requirements, such as this. So, was
this just out of the field for you guys? Yes and no. Okay.
636
01:30:05.005 --> 01:30:10.905
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conference Room): It is a very Cupertino environment.
It's in the building code. Yes. In the fire code. Yes.
637
01:30:11.075 --> 01:30:16.055
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conference Room): And it's being triggered because
it's the size of the cardboard.
638
01:30:16.525 --> 01:30:22.155
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conference Room): So, that… Yeah, that was news to
us.
639
01:30:22.255 --> 01:30:33.634
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conference Room): news to the designers on the
project. So, it wasn't properly accounted for in the original, working
schedule, but like we said, luckily, it doesn't affect.
640
01:30:33.635 --> 01:30:36.164
Speaker 16 (Quinlan Conference Room): our timeline. How much.
641
01:30:36.165 --> 01:30:39.904
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): How much more did it add to the
budget? I can't imagine it being significant.
642
01:30:39.905 --> 01:30:43.985
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conference Room): Well, it's a design-build contract,
so…
643
01:30:43.985 --> 01:30:55.944
Speaker 16 (Quinlan Conference Room): runways, we're covered. I don't
think I've been hit with their proposed change order yet. Thank you. But,
right now… Yeah, so, as far as we know, it's covered, because it's part
of their
644
01:30:56.145 --> 01:30:57.685
Speaker 16 (Quinlan Conference Room): requirement to deliver.
645
01:30:57.885 --> 01:30:58.755
Speaker 16 (Quinlan Conference Room): Thanks.
646
01:30:59.820 --> 01:31:00.580
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): Thank you.
647
01:31:00.940 --> 01:31:07.600
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): But, okay, there's no more comments
on this question on that. Please. Yeah, just a comment.
648
01:31:07.605 --> 01:31:13.394
Speaker 11 (Quinlan Conference Room): When you start going on for
amenities, we appreciate seeing it.
649
01:31:14.000 --> 01:31:14.560
Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conference Room): Thanks.
650
01:31:16.380 --> 01:31:19.820
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): Great, thank you. Thank you,
Suzanne, and thank you for good hearing.
651
01:31:21.040 --> 01:31:27.280
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): So, let's move on to the next one. I
think right now I can come back to the world business, I believe.
652
01:31:27.410 --> 01:31:42.030
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): That is number two. The subject is
the Senior Service Committee Update, and the recommended action to
receive an update on the findings. I'll leave it to Commissioner Swami,
and the presentation is there, I believe, staff, you will…
653
01:31:42.270 --> 01:31:44.050
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): Taking the presentation?
654
01:31:50.760 --> 01:31:53.200
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): And just to remind, this is an,
655
01:31:53.400 --> 01:31:57.500
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): Update, so there's no motion
required on this. This is an update on that.
656
01:32:01.520 --> 01:32:02.850
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): Oops, hold on.
657
01:32:03.160 --> 01:32:04.320
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): Okay.
658
01:32:04.820 --> 01:32:09.609
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): Thank you. It's such a presentation.
659
01:32:10.720 --> 01:32:11.430
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): Achievement.
660
01:32:12.660 --> 01:32:13.969
Quinlan Conference Room: No, follow me.
661
01:32:25.770 --> 01:32:30.219
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): Yeah, it's here? Yes. Excellent.
Thank you. Sure.
662
01:32:30.710 --> 01:32:34.069
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): Thank you, Chair Kumarapa. Can we
actually go to the next slide?
663
01:32:34.350 --> 01:32:36.980
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): Thank you, Susan. Thank you, bye.
664
01:32:38.510 --> 01:32:44.959
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): Good evening, everyone. I'm Seema
Swami. It was such a pleasure working with, the chair as well.
665
01:32:45.040 --> 01:32:55.510
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): From our repan on this project, I'm
very excited to present our proposal, Improving Cupertino Senior
Citizens' Quality of Life Through Intergenerational Interactions.
666
01:32:55.510 --> 01:33:13.779
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): The core mission is when we talk
about quality of life for our seniors, we often focus on basics, like
healthcare, transport, and, you know, physical safety. While these are
vital, they are pretty foundational and absolute requirements, but what
makes life worth living?
667
01:33:13.850 --> 01:33:16.950
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): Is also a connection, a human
connection.
668
01:33:17.430 --> 01:33:32.879
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): As you can see on this slide, it is
quite startling when we found that there are 43% of the seniors within
Cupertino who live alone, as compared with the general population, that's
only about less than 20% of them.
669
01:33:32.880 --> 01:33:38.009
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): So, some of the key issues, as you
can imagine, include
670
01:33:38.140 --> 01:33:47.630
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): Feeling lonely, feeling cut off,
feeling a sense of alienation, and feeling that they are not part of the
general,
671
01:33:47.870 --> 01:33:58.060
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): construct that we have, social
construct that we have out there. Added to that, if you can go to the
next slide, not only do we have digital literacy gaps.
672
01:33:58.060 --> 01:34:13.809
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): We also have language barriers. As
you all know, about half of our senior citizens are foreign-born, and 20…
sorry, 49% are foreign-born, and 27% of those are 65 years plus.
673
01:34:13.830 --> 01:34:30.899
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): And they report speaking English
less than very well, and this is based on the senior, seniors, survey,
the age-friendly Silicon Valley, which is… we have sourced that. In
addition to that, many of them also have mobility issues, right?
674
01:34:32.220 --> 01:34:34.679
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): So, let's go to the next slide.
675
01:34:35.660 --> 01:34:49.149
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): How do we address this? One of the
key issues in which we can address this particular gap is to have
illustrations to… for seniors to combat the silent epidemic of
loneliness.
676
01:34:49.220 --> 01:35:12.559
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): It would be great for them not to
just speak to other seniors and talk about limited topics, how lonely we
are, how… what are the health issues, what's happening here, what's
happening there, to instead actually become more, socially vibrant, and
also get the help that they need. For example, if we have, or if we
develop a program for intergenerational interactions.
677
01:35:12.560 --> 01:35:16.889
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): We would have the silent… we would
be able to combat the silent epidemic.
678
01:35:16.890 --> 01:35:23.950
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): And also of loneliness, and having a
young person to talk to and teach provides a renewed sense of purpose.
679
01:35:24.040 --> 01:35:41.269
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): And can I… can I… may I dare say
social vitamins? That improves their cognitive health. Not only do they
learn about more issues, it is also really good for them. And for the
youth, it provides a different perspective. They're just talking to their
fellows,
680
01:35:41.630 --> 01:35:56.949
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): fellow youth, other young people,
and they're just talking about limited topics. But here, when they're
talking to seniors, they're also learning about different issues
altogether. It's a high… in a high-pressure environment, like Cupertino,
spending time with someone who has seen it all.
681
01:35:56.950 --> 01:36:03.829
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): Can provide an emotional grounding,
mentorship, and a living history that no textbook can provide.
682
01:36:03.830 --> 01:36:10.629
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): So behind the data, there are faces,
and we spoke to members of the community, and here's what they told us.
683
01:36:10.680 --> 01:36:24.320
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): some of the seniors… see, when
youngsters, when we interact with youngsters, it feels like we have a new
pulse altogether, right? I don't want to be cared for, per se,
necessarily.
684
01:36:24.420 --> 01:36:39.900
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): I also want to be useful. So it's
not just getting services from them, but also having this vibrant
interaction. We can also talk to teenagers about how things work, and
learn from them how things are, and have discussions on how things should
be.
685
01:36:40.040 --> 01:36:41.530
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): Which is fantastic.
686
01:36:41.540 --> 01:37:00.479
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): We are… some of the other seniors
also talked to us about how they have, lost a sense of community in this
high-tech world where everyone is just rushing off to work, doing their
homeworks, so when they have the structured or unstructured time with
youngsters, it is really, very rewarding for them.
687
01:37:00.850 --> 01:37:14.719
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): And it's not rewarding just for
them, but it's also, you know, when you do something good for others, you
get a personal high and a dopamine hit, and that is very, very, much,
medicinally backed.
688
01:37:15.100 --> 01:37:17.740
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): Which is why alcoholism is a great
thing.
689
01:37:18.210 --> 01:37:33.239
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): Because when you are altruistic,
you're not just helping the other person, you're helping themselves as
well. So here's the opportunity we have. We have a substantial population
of almost 10,000 students in the, in the great… in the Fremont.
690
01:37:33.610 --> 01:37:46.500
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): FUHS students, right? And that is
actually 16% of the Cupertino residents. The students are really
struggling to get volunteer hours because they're all focused on getting
into colleges as well.
691
01:37:46.500 --> 01:37:54.679
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): So why didn't I start with, I need
opportunities, I need to make my, resume look great to be accepted in my
692
01:37:54.720 --> 01:38:10.719
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): target schools, they're also
struggling to get the volunteer hours. So bringing this win-win
situation, which is mutually beneficial for them, would be fantastic.
Let's go to the next slide. We'll elaborate on this a little bit more
down the road.
693
01:38:11.570 --> 01:38:20.870
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): So, specifically, what are the key
things that students bring? They can make a meaningful difference, not
just for the seniors, but also to themselves.
694
01:38:20.930 --> 01:38:29.620
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): They get their volunteer hours,
which is critical. Next, they have a direct impact. They can help reduce
loneliness and also take anxiety.
695
01:38:29.620 --> 01:38:45.899
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): A lot of people of the older
generation really think AI, or Zoom, and all of these things are quite
challenging, and there are not that many people that are very tech-savvy.
For them, it is a route in which, or means by which they can connect
696
01:38:45.900 --> 01:38:53.450
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): to their grandchildren who don't
live in the same geographical vicinity. And it's also skill development.
697
01:38:53.450 --> 01:39:10.259
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): for the youngsters, it helps build
leadership, patience, and communication skills. It also expands their
social skills, how to speak to others, what matters to other people,
which is certainly far beyond what they need. And lastly, what is really
beneficial for them is the flexible others, right?
698
01:39:10.260 --> 01:39:24.119
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): they're not under a pressure, I have
this hour, I need to go, I need to play tennis. Sure, figure it out, and
you can always look at a good way in which you can present, or you can
interact, and you can do as many or as few as you like.
699
01:39:24.380 --> 01:39:34.739
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): They can even take their laptops and
do their homeworks, and also give a passive companionship afforded to the
senior citizens. Let's go to the next slide, please.
700
01:39:36.840 --> 01:39:49.750
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): So, in the… in terms of the
intergenerational bridge, let's replace a service hours. It will replace…
it may start as, I'm trying to do a service, but it might end up just
becoming genuine connections and friendship.
701
01:39:49.820 --> 01:40:08.840
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): Right? We aren't just looking for
feel-good moments, we are looking for tangible improvements in the
Cupertino community. We can potentially track progress through three
pillars, potentially through the surveys that are already in place. We
could look at mental and emotional wellness.
702
01:40:08.840 --> 01:40:17.569
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): How much of the sense of isolation
is reduced? Hopefully, it will reduce by 20 to 30% in terms of loneliness
scores.
703
01:40:17.570 --> 01:40:31.099
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): And youth resilience, we can also
look at stress buffering effect for students and measure if mentorship
lowers anxiety levels regarding their futures. And also, there are so
many times when, the youth
704
01:40:31.100 --> 01:40:44.229
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): is unable to connect with their
parents on a number of things because they don't want to be judged, and
now they are in a judgment-free environment where they can talk freely
and frankly, especially because they're also providing a service.
705
01:40:44.230 --> 01:40:51.559
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): it's also a way in which you can
vent out. A lot of times, there are psychological problems because people
are,
706
01:40:51.640 --> 01:41:11.319
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): looking at what is socially,
acceptable, and talk about that, and they all want to put on a good face,
especially the teenagers. They want to be there doing… showing how… how
bright… how brave they are, and how trouble-free they are, and this is a
good opportunity for them to bond with someone. You can talk more freely
with a complete stranger.
707
01:41:11.490 --> 01:41:25.389
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): or someone who's completely
unconnected to your social environment, and that can create deep
connections, and maybe also help reduce the number of hours required with
one-on-ones with psychologists or psychiatrists, right?
708
01:41:25.390 --> 01:41:32.770
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): the cognitive and physical health.
For the active aging, potentially we can part… look at
709
01:41:32.820 --> 01:41:49.779
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): how much more there's an increase in
terms of physical activities, like shared walk, gardening, increased
social engagement, and how much smarter they're becoming in terms of
technology and digital literacy. I already spoke about the social
capital, but we can certainly track
710
01:41:49.780 --> 01:42:03.560
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): cross-age friendships as another key
metric, and sustainability in terms of, how much high is the retention
rate? How many more participants are continuing this relationship going
forward. Next slide.
711
01:42:03.790 --> 01:42:15.999
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): Some of the key activities could be
walking, grocery shopping, picking up medication, going to the library,
dropping and picking up books, and when they go to the library to drop
and pick books.
712
01:42:16.000 --> 01:42:37.929
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): they might just end up picking books
for themselves as well, which is an unintended issue, because they're so
busy, they might think, I really don't want to go there, but as they're
picking stuff, they might just find something, or in discussions about
certain literature, they might… their interests can be picked. They can
play together, board games, cards, what have you, and they can also do
gardening and other joint activities.
713
01:42:37.930 --> 01:42:44.199
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): And most of all, as we spoke about
it, companionship is a huge positive issue. Let's go to the next slide,
please.
714
01:42:44.200 --> 01:43:01.780
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): We're talking about mobility. It is
a… being physically active reduces stress significantly, and some seniors
may be more mobility challenged. They can either drive them to the park,
or can just walk around in the neighborhood itself. Next slide, please.
715
01:43:01.820 --> 01:43:19.700
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): In terms of practical assistance,
there's no… while we have highlighted a couple of these issues, there
could be a lot more. It could be that, can you drive me to the airport,
or can you pick up some… one of my relatives, or can you do a bunch of…
it can be mutually agreed upon.
716
01:43:19.700 --> 01:43:34.960
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): They negotiate how they help each
other and what can be done. And in terms of payments, they can actually
make sure that the payments are done through Zelle, or if they're picking
up grocery, or they can pay online and these people can just pick up.
717
01:43:34.960 --> 01:43:39.260
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): So it's really a question of
enabling these interactions
718
01:43:39.260 --> 01:43:55.800
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): And next slide, we're looking at the
tech tutoring. This is the most common issue, as we all know, educating
them. AI can be such a friendly way in which the seniors can be connected
to the larger systems out there.
719
01:43:55.800 --> 01:44:06.650
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): And they can also spend… help them
spend one-on-one time, or group time, or even enable the seniors to get
together, or even the intergenerational groups to get together
occasionally.
720
01:44:07.040 --> 01:44:24.280
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): Or periodically, and and basically
navigate the digital world. Lastly, how do we actually think about
implementation? Because these have… because they are high touch points…
next slide, please. There are significant concerns of safety, right?
721
01:44:24.450 --> 01:44:39.180
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): how… what is the background check of
the students? What about the background check of the seniors? We have to
be really careful about that. There are already some, programs where high
school students are providing a lot of
722
01:44:39.630 --> 01:44:55.750
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): volunteering for various activities,
and chair Kumarapal, you and I saw how many of them were there when we
were there for the campaigns, right? And so, we… there is a structure in
place, we can leverage that and expand on it.
723
01:44:55.750 --> 01:45:07.680
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): It could be partners, could be
Copatina Senior Center, FUHSD Schools, and WVC Community Services, and
for doing the background checks. Let's actually go to the next slide,
please.
724
01:45:09.680 --> 01:45:24.929
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): In terms of implementation of
safety, again, this is just kind of bringing it all together. It's more
like a summary slide, than anything else. So it's just how to be stronger
together, generation to generation. Let's go to the next slide.
725
01:45:26.250 --> 01:45:42.450
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): The call to action that we are
looking at is, you know, get the city council's buy-in. The goal is to
launch a pilot project with 20 student ambassadors, because obviously,
while the intentionality is always great.
726
01:45:42.450 --> 01:45:57.530
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): There may be certain things that we
have not accounted for, but that we can learn along the way, learn what
is working, what are the glitches, iron out the issues, implement the
changes, test these through an iterative process, and then launch it more
widely.
727
01:45:59.530 --> 01:46:05.030
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): Thank you. Thank you. Thank you,
Commissioner. Any clarification questions before we open up?
728
01:46:05.035 --> 01:46:05.815
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conference Room): Actually, I do.
729
01:46:05.815 --> 01:46:11.965
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): I do have a question. First and
foremost, thank you. It's been a few months that you guys have been
working on that, and I have a question for.
730
01:46:11.970 --> 01:46:12.570
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conference Room): for you.
731
01:46:13.070 --> 01:46:19.040
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): and staff, because you've done the
data. Yeah. You've done the research.
732
01:46:19.200 --> 01:46:38.690
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): But based on what you showed, and I
will come up with a question to staff at the same time, you mentioned
language barrier exists. Yes. I have to tell you, there is a new company
in Cupertino that does AI, that at the Chamber of Commerce, we embedded
it in any way. You land on whatever website.
733
01:46:38.690 --> 01:46:51.739
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): It says hello in half a second in
every languages, which pushes people to already visualize, oh, that's my
language. You can ask any and all question you want.
734
01:46:51.770 --> 01:47:00.729
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): I'm wondering here, since you were
talking about call to action, to actually move forward and see if we can
maybe
735
01:47:01.810 --> 01:47:06.699
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): Based on your, sort of, call to
action, maybe involve also the team commission?
736
01:47:06.985 --> 01:47:08.485
Speaker 16 (Quinlan Conference Room): in there.
737
01:47:08.485 --> 01:47:09.245
Speaker 14 (Quinlan Conference Room): Absolutely.
738
01:47:09.245 --> 01:47:15.995
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): misfooting that point, but this did
come up. I think in one of the slides, we were…
739
01:47:15.995 --> 01:47:17.495
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): Collaboration.
740
01:47:17.495 --> 01:47:27.995
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): We actually mentioned… I think it
just got, erased in one of my edits. Perfect. But absolutely, the Teen
Commission is something that we talked about extensively.
741
01:47:27.995 --> 01:47:52.905
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): with the AI and the platform, all
you have for Cupertino, and that's where staff come handy. Yes. If you do
have a social media or something that is pushed through the city to
actually bring team commission or the youth, and so that they can teach
AI, they can teach how to use systems to create less loneliness, like you
said, you might be… you're closer now to a pilot that will actually be
meaningful
742
01:47:52.905 --> 01:48:14.864
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): Absolutely. So many people. Yes.
Because it touches everybody. Loneliness, you don't have to be in the
60s, 70s, 80s, welcome to Silicon Valley, okay? I'm just saying, but you
are close to a great plan, but it's time that we combine with their
intelligence and see… and again, this is my ask, can we bring it to
Council to see, is there a way we can do a program
743
01:48:14.865 --> 01:48:21.275
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): which tackles loneliness in the way
that here in Silicon Valley, we're known in the world to only work and do
nothing ourselves?
744
01:48:22.010 --> 01:48:22.750
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): a number of.
745
01:48:22.755 --> 01:48:32.535
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): Yes, we'll come back to the comments
and discussion area. So the question is, your clarification question is,
can we include, team commission members?
746
01:48:32.535 --> 01:48:33.995
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): forward and try to push forward.
747
01:48:33.995 --> 01:48:35.495
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conference Room): Vertical pilot.
748
01:48:35.495 --> 01:48:48.974
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): tell the staff that I will update it
by adding the team commission collaboration. It was definitely part of
it, but I think it just… So we will update it. Yeah, in one of the
subsequent ones, I'll send you the updated one to kind of put it out
there.
749
01:48:48.975 --> 01:48:49.754
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conference Room): select. Okay.
750
01:48:49.755 --> 01:48:52.755
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): Any clarification questions? Yes,
Commissioner? Yeah, so…
751
01:48:52.755 --> 01:48:57.305
Speaker 11 (Quinlan Conference Room): I guess my first question was, what
was your source of the data? You know, we, I will…
752
01:48:57.305 --> 01:48:59.534
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): first one, a survey, so I went to…
753
01:48:59.535 --> 01:49:01.774
Speaker 11 (Quinlan Conference Room): Did you use the senior survey? I
did.
754
01:49:01.775 --> 01:49:12.285
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): that, so the source of the data were
multiple. It was a senior survey, and we looked at the other survey that
we put up there earlier, the Silicon Valley. We looked at a number of
data sources.
755
01:49:12.285 --> 01:49:25.124
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): But in addition to that, we actually
spoke to people in the senior center and also the neighborhoods, just
scanned around, flown around, spoke to some of the youngsters as well,
who are actually doing some of these social services. Great.
756
01:49:25.125 --> 01:49:29.794
Speaker 11 (Quinlan Conference Room): How many, how many people did you
speak with? How many seniors and how many teams?
757
01:49:29.795 --> 01:49:34.015
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): We spoke to about… we spoke to about
30 to 40 people overall.
758
01:49:34.760 --> 01:49:41.599
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): So, one is, before we go there,
sorry, I'll just make a… so I think the slides have those links to those
sources. At the bottom, yes.
759
01:49:41.605 --> 01:49:48.274
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): We have in the… we have… I think it
is… yes. So, we have… we looked at sources like…
760
01:49:48.275 --> 01:49:50.495
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): At this point, so… so she wouldn't
have.
761
01:49:50.495 --> 01:49:59.775
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): But I can list the senior center,
the senior, survey. We looked at another one that says Age-Friendly
Initiatives Project.
762
01:49:59.775 --> 01:50:23.395
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): And then we looked at Cupertino
demographic analysis, we looked at U.S. Census Bureau, where we saw the
city of Cupertino facts and figures, and we also looked at Bay Area
Census and Royal Population Review. So we just looked at multiple sources
just to look at a sense of how many seniors we have. And this will only
become worse. The problem will get worse as healthcare gets better and
better.
763
01:50:23.395 --> 01:50:27.365
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): people's longevity continues to
increase.
764
01:50:27.370 --> 01:50:28.030
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conference Room): health, you know.
765
01:50:28.035 --> 01:50:30.995
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): the younger generation. Isn't that
funny?
766
01:50:30.995 --> 01:50:31.914
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conference Room): hell out there.
767
01:50:31.915 --> 01:50:32.585
Speaker 14 (Quinlan Conference Room): Fantastic.
768
01:50:32.590 --> 01:50:33.250
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): Okay, so maybe.
769
01:50:33.250 --> 01:50:37.729
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): Yeah, thank you. Does that help
answer your question, or not yet? Yeah, a few others.
770
01:50:37.735 --> 01:50:38.495
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conference Room): Please, stop.
771
01:50:38.495 --> 01:50:39.975
Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conference Room): Wow.
772
01:50:39.975 --> 01:50:43.015
Speaker 14 (Quinlan Conference Room): I was taking notes. Yeah, please,
please. So you mentioned…
773
01:50:43.015 --> 01:50:55.735
Speaker 11 (Quinlan Conference Room): The FUHSD population of 9,700
students. Is that the Cupertino resident population of FUHSD? Because
FUHSD has 5 high schools, 3 of them that are…
774
01:50:55.735 --> 01:51:00.235
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): We looked at Cupertino schools, but
they are not all Cupertino residents.
775
01:51:00.235 --> 01:51:01.335
Speaker 11 (Quinlan Conference Room): You mentioned 16%.
776
01:51:01.335 --> 01:51:02.494
Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conference Room): Well, she said.
777
01:51:02.495 --> 01:51:11.514
Speaker 11 (Quinlan Conference Room): Well, I thought you said 16%, the
9,700 represented 16% of Cupertino residents. That's what I heard you
say.
778
01:51:11.515 --> 01:51:24.785
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): I said is 9… very good point, and I
will clarify that going forward. We have about 9,700. If you just look
at… they're not all Cupertino residents. What I meant… what we meant to
say is that we have about
779
01:51:24.785 --> 01:51:32.495
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): That number represents about 6 of
16… sorry, 16% of the entire population, but they're not all people, you
know.
780
01:51:32.495 --> 01:51:41.095
Speaker 11 (Quinlan Conference Room): None of the population of those
schools, I mean, because they cover Sunnyvale, part of San Jose. Yeah,
yeah. Yes. Okay, so yeah, I… Yes.
781
01:51:41.095 --> 01:51:43.734
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): They are welcome to come, and…
782
01:51:43.735 --> 01:52:03.564
Speaker 11 (Quinlan Conference Room): Yeah, outreach to them. So we did
have… we had a… we had a presentation from a group that was doing an app,
yes, that they were already doing a lot of this work. They were getting
seniors, they were, getting students to sign up, they were even looking
at the background checks.
783
01:52:03.565 --> 01:52:06.275
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): 501c3… Right, no, no, so…
784
01:52:06.275 --> 01:52:10.015
Speaker 11 (Quinlan Conference Room): I was understanding… I was trying
to understand, how is this different from what they're doing?
785
01:52:10.015 --> 01:52:13.014
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): Well, it's not a 501c3 in there, and
they're pushing there.
786
01:52:13.015 --> 01:52:15.505
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conference Room): So, yeah, so I think the…
787
01:52:15.505 --> 01:52:18.345
Speaker 14 (Quinlan Conference Room): No, but he's right, let me
elaborate on that.
788
01:52:18.350 --> 01:52:21.269
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): Go ahead, first, and then I'll
elaborate.
789
01:52:21.275 --> 01:52:34.735
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): it has a similarity between what
they have done, but they are doing it for the entire, not just Cupertino
alone. They started with as a non-profit, and it is their scaling across,
but this particular one is
790
01:52:34.745 --> 01:52:51.024
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): focused on Cupertino, the specific
seniors, and through city programs, and as part of the Park and Rec or
Teen Commission, whatever it is, it is bound to only Cupertino on it.
That's not, like, expanding to all.
791
01:52:51.045 --> 01:53:01.014
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): Because that doesn't… there's no
obligation for them to just focus only on Copardino seniors. So that's,
because it has a different…
792
01:53:01.015 --> 01:53:01.745
Speaker 14 (Quinlan Conference Room): Much smaller.
793
01:53:01.750 --> 01:53:02.690
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): program. They don't.
794
01:53:02.690 --> 01:53:09.990
Speaker 11 (Quinlan Conference Room): vision implementing this? Is it
through staff, and how much staff time would it take to implement? What
kind of staff?
795
01:53:09.995 --> 01:53:10.745
Speaker 14 (Quinlan Conference Room): Man, man.
796
01:53:10.745 --> 01:53:23.264
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): Let me just make a comment on that
one? So, this is, as I said, this is our observation, this is our
findings, this is what our recommendations, right? So, at this point, any
of these things will go to the staff.
797
01:53:23.295 --> 01:53:47.925
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): And we are not going to ask them to
implement or anything. This is our recommendation. Based on the
bandwidth, and I already spoke to Katalina Oswell on that, so it is
based… they have a lot… many things on their program, and this will go as
one of the items, and then they will see wherever there is a possibility,
then they will think about it. But, so this is not an ask, or giving them
a direction to go and implement.
798
01:53:47.925 --> 01:54:01.124
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): We would love to have it, that's a
finding. And since there is a senior center, so possibly this will go as
a very important thing to a senior center team, and once they come back
with what other programs they have, this could be one of them.
799
01:54:01.125 --> 01:54:05.794
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): But there is no specific beyond
that, because we don't want to tell them
800
01:54:05.795 --> 01:54:12.234
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): what things they need to do with.
We're just giving a recommendation. We are starting at that point.
801
01:54:12.235 --> 01:54:22.524
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): to what the chair was saying.
Absolutely, we're just presenting the findings and some recommendations.
The City Council can choose to fund it.
802
01:54:22.765 --> 01:54:33.995
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): And the City Council can choose, for
example, I'm not saying that it is a CIP project, but some kind of an
improvement kind of a thing, they can always fund it in terms of how
they're thinking about it. Go ahead.
803
01:54:33.995 --> 01:54:47.494
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): So, sorry, before… so if there's a
clarification over, then I think I would like to go to the public and
then come back to the comments and discussion. Is that okay? I know who
we're just moving into the comments and discussion section, so I would
like to… Oh, it is true. Yes. Any other questions or comments?
804
01:54:47.495 --> 01:54:48.575
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conference Room): Claracy.
805
01:54:48.580 --> 01:54:50.510
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): Clarification.
806
01:54:50.515 --> 01:54:51.245
Speaker 11 (Quinlan Conference Room): Yeah.
807
01:54:51.425 --> 01:54:57.124
Speaker 11 (Quinlan Conference Room): Well, it's just, did you consider
what programs do we have that meet some of these needs already?
808
01:54:57.820 --> 01:54:59.989
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): As far as I can tell, lifting should
be part of.
809
01:54:59.990 --> 01:55:02.199
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): to come in discussion. Yes, it
should be fun.
810
01:55:02.200 --> 01:55:11.000
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): Can we come to that part? Okay.
Okay, there's no more clarification question, I just want to go by the
process. Yes. I'd like to open this for a public comment, in case if
anybody
811
01:55:11.760 --> 01:55:26.309
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): still there and raise their hand. We
have no speakers here. Yes, please. So, hold on a second. I would like to
speak. Okay. Then you need to submit a card, right?
812
01:55:26.440 --> 01:55:27.380
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): Yes, Mr.
813
01:55:27.385 --> 01:55:29.254
Speaker 14 (Quinlan Conference Room): Give us one second, thanks.
814
01:55:29.260 --> 01:55:31.999
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): space wonder in it. Yeah, thank you.
815
01:55:34.710 --> 01:55:37.890
Speaker 15 (Quinlan Conference Room): That's less time to signal.
816
01:55:46.510 --> 01:55:48.580
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): Alright, go ahead. Perfect case,
please.
817
01:55:48.800 --> 01:55:50.809
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): This is gonna be very, very quick.
818
01:55:51.200 --> 01:56:06.800
Speaker 15 (Quinlan Conference Room): Just have another idea for your
list of ideas… list of possible activities that these students could do,
and I'll give you one guess what it is. Take them and play pickleball.
819
01:56:06.870 --> 01:56:11.399
Speaker 15 (Quinlan Conference Room): But we've got many octogenarians
up. Obviously, it's not…
820
01:56:11.690 --> 01:56:16.899
Speaker 15 (Quinlan Conference Room): Not every elderly person has the
mobility to do it, but for those that do.
821
01:56:17.520 --> 01:56:19.690
Speaker 15 (Quinlan Conference Room): In terms of the loneliness factor.
822
01:56:20.480 --> 01:56:27.239
Speaker 15 (Quinlan Conference Room): solves it. They're gonna have a
huge community of friends right away. That's it. Awesome. Thank you for
sharing.
823
01:56:27.240 --> 01:56:30.810
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): Okay, since no more, public…
824
01:56:30.950 --> 01:56:38.460
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): It's not available on the Zoom, so
let's close the public comments. Let's open for any comments and
discussions. And Commissioner Bono, you are ready.
825
01:56:38.465 --> 01:56:39.095
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conference Room): I'll just think.
826
01:56:39.095 --> 01:56:44.474
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): quickly, like I said earlier, You
are on the verge of a…
827
01:56:45.095 --> 01:56:45.875
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conference Room): Perfect.
828
01:56:45.875 --> 01:56:49.564
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): Yes, I understand what you're saying
and all, but…
829
01:56:49.685 --> 01:56:55.825
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): But, in this body, we do receive
tons of nonprofits' requirements.
830
01:56:55.905 --> 01:57:09.575
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): That can be implemented and
mandated, that any and all other people, we are also giving money away on
a yearly basis, plug in to this possibility
831
01:57:09.585 --> 01:57:17.965
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): To connecting, and so this program
can piggyback on all their other platforms and
832
01:57:17.965 --> 01:57:34.485
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): nonprofits, which we could also make
it mandatory if they do want any money from the City of Cupertino. That
would be a one way, a good segue to implement all of that. So, like I
said earlier, answering also Commissioner Stanek on it.
833
01:57:35.155 --> 01:57:52.025
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): It's not about staff time. Yes. This
is about the fact that this is a huge possibility that can be first
shared with another commission to get also their knowledge so that we can
join together, because I think they… it might be, you know, it's good for
all ages.
834
01:57:52.025 --> 01:57:52.785
Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conference Room): Yes.
835
01:57:52.785 --> 01:58:07.625
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): It's super young to help the old,
who know how to use their phone, how to call 911, little things like
that, but also AI is here to help us so easily in any and all languages,
and… and I think it's great.
836
01:58:07.755 --> 01:58:19.784
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): I understand the part of the data,
but I think there's so much more than that, and that could be… because I
would be on it, because I'm lonely. So…
837
01:58:19.785 --> 01:58:21.285
Speaker 14 (Quinlan Conference Room): Oh, yeah, traveling.
838
01:58:21.285 --> 01:58:45.374
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): To concur with what you're saying.
There are programs, for example, we do have certain programs, like the
techie team programs, right, in existence. Then we also have the Gen
Connect intergenerational mix… mixers, but they're not very, the tech
teams, we have a few times a year. It's not, on a regular basis that,
like, we're talking about, like, building a greater number of
839
01:58:45.395 --> 01:59:01.725
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): volunteer… is it? Yes, right.
Volunteer hours. So we can bring that together and expand those programs
all together, and we can also look at intergenerational celebration and
expand that forward and, expand it further out as well. So make it more,
840
01:59:02.195 --> 01:59:14.735
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): open and make it more… also, it
doesn't always have to be face-to-face. Sometimes you have made someone
tech-savvy, you can continue to have those conversations and
interactions.
841
01:59:14.735 --> 01:59:17.755
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): I just wanted to finish on that and
say that… Yes, please.
842
01:59:17.755 --> 01:59:19.234
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): Even if I'm…
843
01:59:19.235 --> 01:59:35.095
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): on this body, even if we just… you
focus on reaching the gap between the old and younger, and the technology
together, combining with the ability for each and every single nonprofits
who are getting funding.
844
01:59:35.115 --> 01:59:54.785
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): that could automatically kind of
fund it and have multiple platforms available in so many languages in
Cupertino. I'm just saying, we're there. Yes. And now you're, you know,
we could… we could bring it together with schools and with team
commissions, and then implement it with any types of grants. Yes.
845
01:59:55.235 --> 02:00:00.514
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): I completely think that's a
wonderful idea to continue to round up what you're saying.
846
02:00:00.515 --> 02:00:02.775
Speaker 14 (Quinlan Conference Room): Thanks, bud.
847
02:00:02.775 --> 02:00:17.564
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): to respond, because you're so… you
have hit the nail on the head. We have not actually gone into the details
of how this project should look like, right? These are just some initial
ideas, and it is… we have a number of Bay Area projects that are going on
as well in the intergenerational space.
848
02:00:17.565 --> 02:00:27.044
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): But we could also make it a more
strong, structured one, where there's such a strong opportunity for
multiple students to interact with the same adult, because
849
02:00:27.725 --> 02:00:33.464
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): You know, it really ultimately is a
matching between the personalities and the needs.
850
02:00:33.635 --> 02:00:35.065
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conference Room): So, thank you.
851
02:00:35.065 --> 02:00:36.605
Speaker 14 (Quinlan Conference Room): Yeah, no, I think…
852
02:00:36.605 --> 02:00:49.075
Speaker 11 (Quinlan Conference Room): I think this is wonderful, this is
not an apple pot, to get intergenerational people help, you know, the
students who, you know, from what I understand, students who have grown
up in the COVID area.
853
02:00:49.225 --> 02:00:56.045
Speaker 11 (Quinlan Conference Room): are lacking some social skills.
Absolutely. And, you know, the interaction, all of that is great. I… I
think…
854
02:00:56.275 --> 02:01:04.294
Speaker 11 (Quinlan Conference Room): I want to make sure that what we're
doing complements what we're… what's already happening in the city. I
mean, I know that the Senior Center has
855
02:01:04.695 --> 02:01:14.845
Speaker 11 (Quinlan Conference Room): this connection for tech, and it's
just always available. There's certain days that are always there, so I
think some of the things we're already doing, and so I…
856
02:01:14.845 --> 02:01:19.305
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): Not many people are really coming to
the Senior Center, unfortunately. There are a huge population…
857
02:01:19.305 --> 02:01:29.104
Speaker 11 (Quinlan Conference Room): So, yeah, so the question is, how
do we… how do we promote what we want to get done, and… and have the
impact that we want to have? That's right.
858
02:01:29.105 --> 02:01:36.625
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): Because I was surprised to see a lot
of seniors really are not going to the senior center. Some of them are
not even aware of it. Right, so that's…
859
02:01:36.625 --> 02:01:45.775
Speaker 11 (Quinlan Conference Room): Yeah, so that's a different problem
that, you know, maybe we… that's maybe a first step that we have to do.
There is also a… there was a woman here who was pitching to us
860
02:01:45.865 --> 02:01:58.664
Speaker 11 (Quinlan Conference Room): for the community grants, she was
the executive director. Unfortunately, her project came in late, you
know, it didn't really fit, but their organization is amazing. I think
it's the heart of Silicon Valley.
861
02:01:58.885 --> 02:02:13.235
Speaker 11 (Quinlan Conference Room): Part of… Part of the Valley. Part
of the valley, part of the valley, where they do exactly this. And it's
not just with, with, use. They do it with anyone. So, you know, it could
be Claudio or I, we have some extra time.
862
02:02:13.235 --> 02:02:22.725
Speaker 11 (Quinlan Conference Room): we sign up to do gardening, or
driving, or… or something for seniors in need. That's right. And so… so
there are a lot of things that
863
02:02:23.015 --> 02:02:32.814
Speaker 11 (Quinlan Conference Room): You know, and I understand, so
that's what I was trying to understand. So, it's great ideas. What I
understand is you're not really suggesting how to implement this.
864
02:02:32.820 --> 02:02:33.549
Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conference Room): Yeah, so…
865
02:02:33.550 --> 02:02:35.899
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): Let me put it there. So, the…
866
02:02:36.030 --> 02:02:50.210
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): We know how we want to implement it,
and the only thing is that we are just putting that as a proposal, as a
suggestion on the table to the department, right, or the city, and the
department, because as a…
867
02:02:50.470 --> 02:03:06.789
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): officially as a commission, we
cannot give them a direction to our staff, so rather we can put something
on the table, we recommend it, and then wherever there's an opportunity,
we can bring it to the council chief in our… Yes, we have a seat at the
table to have a discussion.
868
02:03:06.790 --> 02:03:08.139
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): discussion on that? Yes.
869
02:03:08.140 --> 02:03:17.570
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): Possibly, as Commissioner Bono
suggested, I think even though we had it as a team, Commissioner, as a
partner, it's an opportunity for us to go and do
870
02:03:17.720 --> 02:03:34.359
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): this with the Commission, Dean
Commission, and then with the FUSHD, because Senior Center is already
within us, so we've already done it. So if you could do that, it brings
more of those antas those up, and say, oh, looks like we all can come
together as a senior. That's the purpose? Go ahead.
871
02:03:34.365 --> 02:03:36.234
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): And I just want to say, and again,
to.
872
02:03:36.240 --> 02:03:36.600
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conference Room): matching your.
873
02:03:36.605 --> 02:03:54.954
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): question. This can be as simply as
connecting the old and the new, but can the project can become the
alphabet and complicated and complex? Yes. But I think that the idea here
presented tonight is to link through technology and link barrier of
languages
874
02:03:54.955 --> 02:04:01.305
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): the old and the new, and bring them
together, that is super doable, and a pilot that can take off.
875
02:04:01.305 --> 02:04:02.824
Speaker 11 (Quinlan Conference Room): We definitely talked.
876
02:04:02.825 --> 02:04:06.605
Speaker 14 (Quinlan Conference Room): Yeah, so we're always being
mistaken, but…
877
02:04:06.605 --> 02:04:08.784
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): Absolutely, we talked about, which
is exactly.
878
02:04:08.785 --> 02:04:09.545
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): I'm talking.
879
02:04:09.545 --> 02:04:12.564
Speaker 14 (Quinlan Conference Room): Excellent, thank you.
880
02:04:12.565 --> 02:04:32.145
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): school itself, and you have the
school principal saying that, then you have so many more people that are
willing to, and it's nice of a senior center, if you have a list of the
seniors, whoever wants to, you know, do a letter from the city or
whatever, they can always sign up and say, I need the help. Excellent.
Thank you.
881
02:04:32.150 --> 02:04:35.890
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): Thank you, Swami. I think most of
the work is done by Swami, and…
882
02:04:36.585 --> 02:04:38.065
Speaker 14 (Quinlan Conference Room): So, this is just a recommendation.
883
02:04:38.065 --> 02:04:39.934
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conference Room): Big thanks to me for translating.
884
02:04:39.940 --> 02:04:43.299
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): No, I'm kidding.
885
02:04:43.305 --> 02:04:47.825
Speaker 14 (Quinlan Conference Room): I'm sorry.
886
02:04:47.825 --> 02:04:53.715
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): Thank you, first of all, so much for
your work and for your thoughtful… Input, right?
887
02:04:53.785 --> 02:05:13.474
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): Couple different things. I think
we'd all agree that this is very programmatic in nature, correct? And so,
you know, as the department continues to explore intergenerational
programs, and you're absolutely right, Commissioner Stanek, we have a
wide range of intergenerational programs, some of which
888
02:05:13.475 --> 02:05:18.195
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): that have been mentioned, doesn't
mean that they couldn't be expanded upon, right? And so.
889
02:05:18.195 --> 02:05:37.385
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): as we look at our programs, we can
certainly take some of these recommendations into consideration moving
forward. I'll remind you on two different things. Number one, we do have
each division within our department come and present. We do have our
senior, elder adult,
890
02:05:37.385 --> 02:05:47.835
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): manager planning to come in
September to speak on that, etc. I will make a note, or I already made a
note, to make sure that he highlights the intergenerational
891
02:05:47.925 --> 02:06:12.924
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): small summary of them, but I'll make
sure that he highlights what we already, offer to the Cupertino
community, right? I would also say that at our next meeting, we have our
marketing and communications folks coming, and a lot of what I heard you
say was people might not know about something, right? And so, I, too, can
have that conversation, and he can, before the next meeting, talk about
some of the things that are
892
02:06:12.925 --> 02:06:13.925
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): redone.
893
02:06:13.925 --> 02:06:38.775
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): to help attract new seniors, new
older adults to our program. So, I've made those two notes, so that way
that can be taken into consideration in June, and then again in
September, and kind of tie some of these loose ends together. I thought
you had an interesting suggestion about the community funding program.
That's something that I'm going to need to do a bit more research on,
but, I don't know if in the past that we have
894
02:06:38.775 --> 02:06:43.444
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): I've ever said that in a particular
year, there's been a policy decision.
895
02:06:43.445 --> 02:06:59.834
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): funding in one sort of arena versus
another, and that's something that, being fairly new here still, I would
need to do some research on. My guess is that that has not been a past
practice. My guess is that that is not part… well, I know it's not part
of the current policy.
896
02:06:59.835 --> 02:07:07.415
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): So that's something I'll need to do
more research on. But I do want to remind you, and we all agree that it
was programmatic in nature.
897
02:07:07.415 --> 02:07:23.734
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): The Commission is policy, and the
department is programmatic and operations and that sort of stuff. So, as
the chair mentioned, we will take your considerations, or your
recommendations as considerations as we develop future programs.
898
02:07:23.735 --> 02:07:30.585
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): But really, there's no policy item
being discussed tonight. May I actually add to.
899
02:07:30.585 --> 02:07:50.914
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): the whole thing we're talking about,
while senior citizens and center, even when people are aware of it,
actually the number of the memberships does not reflect the population of
seniors within the city of Cupertino. So it should go… what we are
proposing is it goes beyond that, and I know you're relatively new, I
just wanted to
900
02:07:50.915 --> 02:07:54.724
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): inform you also that the previous
mayor,
901
02:07:55.105 --> 02:08:14.395
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): Mayor Yang Chao, and now currently
the Vice Mayor, had it very… it was very close to our heart, and she also
suggested that this had… she gave the blessing to the subcommittee to get
the results and findings. She said we, as the City Council, would like to
get a set of
902
02:08:14.395 --> 02:08:18.035
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): Recommendations, so that we can
understand and wrap our heads around it.
903
02:08:18.175 --> 02:08:19.055
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): And, and if I.
904
02:08:19.055 --> 02:08:20.654
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): It just can enclose.
905
02:08:20.755 --> 02:08:25.424
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): At the end of the day, we have 24
requests for grants per.
906
02:08:25.425 --> 02:08:27.154
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conference Room): Correct. You know, it is.
907
02:08:27.305 --> 02:08:29.485
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): money from Cupertino, so…
908
02:08:29.640 --> 02:08:30.310
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conference Room): asking.
909
02:08:30.310 --> 02:08:45.259
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): them to involve it if they want that
money as a 501c3, it's a win-win for Cupertino, and for the call to
action to be taken. So it's almost kind of a no-brainer, but wanted to
make sure that that has been considered, because that could change the
game for Cupertino.
910
02:08:45.265 --> 02:08:53.445
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): And that could be one of the venues,
but also if the city can give blessing to the… to the FUHSD, per se, that
makes it even more powerful.
911
02:08:54.490 --> 02:08:59.460
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): Excellent. So, thank you, thanks for
your comments, and excellent. If that is the case…
912
02:08:59.465 --> 02:09:08.994
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): I will include your comments on the
FUHS, sorry, 5013 when I give you the updated one, so it'll be helpful.
Okay.
913
02:09:09.225 --> 02:09:12.225
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): We do need to post those within a
certain day's…
914
02:09:12.225 --> 02:09:12.965
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): So, did you…
915
02:09:12.970 --> 02:09:13.720
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): Hi, Dr. Potter?
916
02:09:13.725 --> 02:09:15.225
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): If you don't mind that.
917
02:09:15.225 --> 02:09:15.965
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): logo, that works.
918
02:09:15.970 --> 02:09:16.720
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): Excellent.
919
02:09:16.725 --> 02:09:23.685
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): Okay, sorry, I'm confirming with
Lenzie and her, but she does have a requirement to post that within a
certain time.
920
02:09:23.690 --> 02:09:25.700
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): Absolutely. Bullets. Awesome.
921
02:09:25.705 --> 02:09:43.704
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): Thank you, thank you so much, and
we'll close on it, and then let's move on to the next item, which is the
Staff and Commission Reports. This portion of the meeting is reserved for
the staff to provide any updates on matters pertinent to the Commission,
and for the Commissioners to report on any Commission-related activities.
Does staff have any staff report now, Carolyn?
922
02:09:43.705 --> 02:09:47.535
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): I do, and I'm pulling it up, so
thank you so much for your patience.
923
02:09:50.410 --> 02:09:55.860
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): And specifically this time, Color,
no questions or comments by the Commissioners during the presentation.
924
02:09:56.000 --> 02:10:00.480
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): Guys, call doubtless, I just want to
read it out.
925
02:10:00.800 --> 02:10:03.010
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): I have never.
926
02:10:03.010 --> 02:10:08.440
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): something written so thoroughly, as
Carolyn does it. I've already given her my copy off.
927
02:10:08.975 --> 02:10:14.475
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): No. At this point, it says no
question or comments by the Commissioner. After that, it immediately goes
on the commission reports.
928
02:10:15.095 --> 02:10:18.005
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): Okay.
929
02:10:18.005 --> 02:10:19.504
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): I didn't hear what you were saying.
930
02:10:19.505 --> 02:10:20.265
Speaker 14 (Quinlan Conference Room): I know.
931
02:10:20.265 --> 02:10:26.394
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): We will not ask any questions or
comments during the presentation, but after the presentation, if you have
any questions, can be.
932
02:10:27.205 --> 02:10:29.844
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): I just wanted to see, because it's
not…
933
02:10:30.530 --> 02:10:32.520
Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conference Room): In the questions. Correct.
934
02:10:32.525 --> 02:10:37.005
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): Correct, as long as it's related to
the staff report.
935
02:10:37.005 --> 02:10:41.904
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): Okay, perfect. Perfect. I would love
to.
936
02:10:41.905 --> 02:10:48.765
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): Okay, so, give me one second, I have
one additional thing in here that I want to get out and show you guys.
937
02:10:49.660 --> 02:10:51.309
Speaker 17 (Quinlan Conference Room): I'm sorry, when my computer.
938
02:10:51.315 --> 02:11:01.164
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): Because there is a delay, it
appears, oftentimes for staff that there's a problem, but it's truly
sometimes just our delay.
939
02:11:01.170 --> 02:11:03.330
Speaker 17 (Quinlan Conference Room): Okay, thank you very much, I
appreciate.
940
02:11:03.335 --> 02:11:16.574
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): the opportunity to share with you
some of the highlights that have been going on since we last met, as well
as some of the exciting things going into, I would say, our busy year-
round, but our busiest season of the year.
941
02:11:16.575 --> 02:11:28.375
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): So, as was alluded to earlier this
evening, the City Council did receive an informational memo, from the
Parks and Recreation Department on residency
942
02:11:28.375 --> 02:11:38.975
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): fees, registration, and sports
courts, in public parks. The information memo is available at
puppertino.gov backslash memos.
943
02:11:41.930 --> 02:11:54.620
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): I do want to share with you also
that since we last, communicated, our Instagram page did go live, and we
talked a little bit about marketing today, and older adults, you know.
944
02:11:54.720 --> 02:12:12.410
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): might not be the first people to go
to Instagram, but you gotta remember that our senior center is 50-plus.
And so, I think sometimes you think of, you know, the 50-plus are
generally the working seniors, then you have the early retirees, and then
sometimes you have, like, our older seniors.
945
02:12:12.410 --> 02:12:18.369
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): I'm getting off tangent, but what I
want to say about Instagram is that it is live. Hopefully, all of you,
have
946
02:12:18.370 --> 02:12:27.970
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): joined our page, it is one more way
for us to engage with our community to convey important information, and
really to inspire action.
947
02:12:27.970 --> 02:12:39.749
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): And so we will be getting a full
marketing and communications update at our next meeting, including some
preliminary, information about the transition to Instagram.
948
02:12:40.050 --> 02:13:02.979
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): I want to share with you next, the
California Park and Recreation Society. This is the, recent issue, the
spring issue of the magazine, so I'm going to pass that around at the
same time. But what I want to highlight for you is that the Cupertino
Parks and Recreation Department team was recognized as a winner in the
Secret Photo Contest.
949
02:13:02.980 --> 02:13:05.679
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): And so you will see,
950
02:13:05.680 --> 02:13:07.139
Speaker 17 (Quinlan Conference Room): The second place prize.
951
02:13:07.145 --> 02:13:22.165
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): I think it's page 36, if I recall. I
have the pages kind of founded there. But there's a variety of different
categories, and when this image was submitted based on vitality,
connection, and community spirit of our seniors.
952
02:13:22.165 --> 02:13:29.684
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): The picture was specifically
captured, at the 2025, so remember this is everything from the prior
year.
953
02:13:29.685 --> 02:13:41.614
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): Senior Volunteer Luncheon. So, our
volunteers that have 50-plus hours of service, highlighting the
meaningful impact that they make to the recreation programs and services
that we offer at the Senior Center.
954
02:13:42.765 --> 02:13:56.464
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): Next, I just wanted to share with
you that Earthen Arbor Day was held on Saturday, April 4th, on Civic
Center Plaza. It did include over 50 interactive booths, live
entertainment, hands-on activities, and food trucks.
955
02:13:56.465 --> 02:14:11.455
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): As well as event sponsors. It was
really good to see the community come together in support of a greener
future, and that is an event, that does take place each year, so mark
your calendar for the first Saturday of April next year.
956
02:14:12.235 --> 02:14:17.535
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): Tonight is a very exciting night for
the Parks and Recreation Department.
957
02:14:17.535 --> 02:14:41.815
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): Most of my colleagues are in
Campbell at the California Park and Recreation Society District 4, so our
region of the state, awards ceremony. We're receiving awards in several
categories, so that one's a statewide award. These are more regional in
nature. Some of the awards are those that we put out to acknowledge our
team volunteers and our,
958
02:14:41.815 --> 02:14:52.715
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): senior volunteers, so we have two
teams receiving awards, and two seniors receiving awards. But we also
received the Award of Excellence for the McClellan Ranch Preserve Creek
Tour Program.
959
02:14:52.755 --> 02:15:01.194
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): And then we also received, the key
to the community for the recreation event, volunteer program.
960
02:15:01.225 --> 02:15:18.645
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): So, really, at its heart, our work
is about bringing people together and improving quality of life in our
community, and we're really excited that our colleagues in the profession
are recognizing our organization for the things that we're doing, in our
community and the outstanding work of our staff.
961
02:15:18.645 --> 02:15:30.284
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): The last thing I want to highlight
is that one of our staff, Randy, our facility attendant here, is getting
a Professional Merit Award tonight. Yeah, so we're very excited, and…
962
02:15:30.285 --> 02:15:44.584
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): We are taking photographs and doing,
not live, but we are doing some video at the event, so I would check out
our Instagram page in the next 24 to 48 hours, and you'll see some of the
stuff from tonight's event, on that.
963
02:15:45.865 --> 02:16:00.995
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): Next, tomorrow, we have the Live
Well, Age Well Health Expo. It is from 10.30 to 1.30 at the Senior
Center. We do have informational booths, and activity demonstrations.
964
02:16:00.995 --> 02:16:07.584
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): We will have free lunch for the
first 50 attendees, and then there'll also be lunch available for
purchase.
965
02:16:07.655 --> 02:16:14.294
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): And that is one very well-attended
event. It sounds like you haven't been to before.
966
02:16:14.295 --> 02:16:15.025
Speaker 17 (Quinlan Conference Room): Generally.
967
02:16:15.070 --> 02:16:16.480
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): Make sure to…
968
02:16:16.485 --> 02:16:17.904
Speaker 17 (Quinlan Conference Room): Yeah, 2 at 10.
969
02:16:20.530 --> 02:16:37.260
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): I'm gonna use a little punt on words
here, but this event is pause, simply full. Pause. But we can't wait to
host our four-legged friends next Saturday. We have four different 45-
minute sessions.
970
02:16:37.260 --> 02:16:49.710
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): With about 40 to 50 dogs in each
session, and it's also the weekend before we open the pools to the
general public for summer 2026. So, it's kind of,
971
02:16:50.209 --> 02:16:56.609
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): Definitely an exciting time for
people that are pet owners to do something a little bit different with
their pet.
972
02:16:56.610 --> 02:17:12.849
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): It has been sold out for quite some
time, and there is a September date, that registration is not quite yet
available for, but if, you want to see something really fun, come out to
Pooch Plunge on Saturday, May 16th, between 9 and 1245.
973
02:17:14.879 --> 02:17:27.410
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): I would be remiss if I didn't
mention, the work of our staff to make sure that summer is not only safe,
but that there's a high-quality experience for our community.
974
02:17:27.410 --> 02:17:36.409
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): And what's pictured in this picture
is, our lifeguard training classes that were taking place during the
April school break.
975
02:17:36.410 --> 02:17:37.960
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): So that was…
976
02:17:37.959 --> 02:17:47.840
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): Students, or what are now our newest
employees, could be trained in the appropriate safety measures,
lifeguarding skills.
977
02:17:47.840 --> 02:18:06.460
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): And basic first aid, CPR, that sort
of stuff, because they truly are first responders if we were to have an
incident, at our pool, at our pools. And so, that training was a full
week, and our newest certified lifeguards will be working for us this
summer, as well as those folks that will come back.
978
02:18:06.490 --> 02:18:18.450
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): to work for us and be recertified.
They don't have to go for the full class again, but be recertified, be
reminded of our training and our skills, and be reminded of, you know,
any changes of facilities, etc.
979
02:18:18.450 --> 02:18:28.890
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): But that's one aspect of our… of our
summer programming, is our aquatics and our, you know, not just our rep
swim, our lap swim, but also our swim lessons. But we also have
980
02:18:28.889 --> 02:18:42.510
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): returning staff and recruitments
underway for our recreation leaders. And, you know, we have folks that
bring continuity and leadership by spending summers and multiple summers
with us, and then we have
981
02:18:42.760 --> 02:18:56.080
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): Plenty of new people were likely
where their first job, and their first opportunity to, have some
leadership experience, and we're hiring folks on a seasonal basis for
that, and as well as our volunteer programs.
982
02:18:56.080 --> 02:19:05.170
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): So, we do have rec leaders, we do
have lifeguards, we have leaders in training, we have techie teams, as
well as all of our year-round programs, but for summer.
983
02:19:05.170 --> 02:19:15.589
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): We have a lot going on. In service
for us is one more time for us to bring everybody together and bring
everybody on the same page and do city-specific
984
02:19:15.610 --> 02:19:25.199
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): policies and procedures and
logistics, and that starts for us June 8th, and then it's in full swing
until the kids go back to school, in late August.
985
02:19:26.170 --> 02:19:36.379
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): With that being said, I shared with
you at the last time, the recently released Summer Activity Guide.
Activities in the guide start June 1st.
986
02:19:36.410 --> 02:19:49.560
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): And city offices will be closed on
May 25th in observance of Memorial Day. On that day, the pool, and the
sports center, as well as the golf course, will maintain their regular
hours.
987
02:19:49.560 --> 02:19:58.340
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): But I also want to remind you that,
there are some other programmatic areas that people don't generally see.
988
02:19:58.340 --> 02:20:15.690
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): That are super busy for us this time
of year as well. And those are some of our picnic reservations, so people
that are having family reunions, or weddings, small celebrations, you
know, festivities, you know, that bring folks together. So our picnic
reservations are well underway.
989
02:20:15.690 --> 02:20:21.710
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): And so there's a lot going on this
time of year in the Parks and Recreation Department.
990
02:20:21.890 --> 02:20:27.589
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): So, with that being said, that
concludes my staff report for tonight, and I'll hand it back to.
991
02:20:27.595 --> 02:20:28.585
Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conference Room): Thank you. Thank you, sir.
992
02:20:28.590 --> 02:20:29.210
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conference Room): Come on, Chad.
993
02:20:29.215 --> 02:20:32.905
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): And, any comments or any questions,
please.
994
02:20:32.910 --> 02:20:48.720
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): You know, in the past, we used to be
asked for these, these events, for the commissioners to sign up for
these. We'd like to continue to do that, and be part of, some of this,
and be supportive to the staff, because last year, I remember
995
02:20:49.260 --> 02:21:03.410
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): Jay, Kumarapan and I were part of a
couple of these, together, and it was really very, very helpful as a
great interaction between the staff and us, and also with the residents,
for us to see firsthand and also help support.
996
02:21:03.660 --> 02:21:24.999
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): We have a lot that I'm going to be
already planning for, at the June agenda, and those are a bit more
appropriate for that. Yeah, it's definitely consistent with what you
approved at your last meeting for the work plan, is to be visiting,
parks, pools and playgrounds, as well as participating in events. So, the
ones that I'm bringing next month, I think, are more appropriate for
that.
997
02:21:25.000 --> 02:21:28.469
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): But thank you for reiterating your
interest in being involved.
998
02:21:29.670 --> 02:21:31.410
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): Thank you. Excellent. Thank you.
999
02:21:31.650 --> 02:21:33.729
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): Any caption or reports?
1000
02:21:34.150 --> 02:21:52.599
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): No, okay. There's no other
commissioner reports. Then I think the next agenda item is a future
agenda setting, and upcoming draft agenda items, and it… I know that
it's, like, we can have two commissioners bring in any new items which
they want to bring it up, right?
1001
02:21:52.660 --> 02:21:54.320
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): That's the correlation to the
commercial.
1002
02:21:54.325 --> 02:21:55.824
Speaker 17 (Quinlan Conference Room): So I want to make.
1003
02:21:55.825 --> 02:22:11.124
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): note of a new item in your packet.
You may have noticed something that looks a little bit like this. It had
a calendar through the balance of the year. That's a new item. When you
went through your, handbook training,
1004
02:22:11.545 --> 02:22:14.624
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): Boy, that already seems like it was
a couple months ago, but…
1005
02:22:14.815 --> 02:22:21.345
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): you guys recall that one of the new
elements to the Commissioner's Handbook was for,
1006
02:22:21.855 --> 02:22:41.505
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): staff to prepare what is going to be
coming up in at least the next two to three meetings. Parks and Rec is
overachievers, and we've taken that a step further, but since this
commission, in all seriousness, this commission has approved its work
plan through the balance of the calendar year. Some of the others are in
that cycle to still do that.
1007
02:22:41.505 --> 02:22:45.344
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): We just thought it made sense to
list them all through
1008
02:22:45.475 --> 02:22:53.134
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): The balance of the calendar year,
and as things either need to be adjusted or are added, because
potentially there's
1009
02:22:53.145 --> 02:22:56.604
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): You know, let's just say a project
moves forward quicker.
1010
02:22:56.605 --> 02:23:15.065
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): than expected, or vice versa,
there's a, you know, some sort of challenge related with something. As
you will see, this will change as the year progresses, but it should
start as a foundation for us for not only this section of the agenda, but
to help guide our work, and to make sure that we kind of stay,
1011
02:23:15.065 --> 02:23:17.785
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): stay focused on the goal of the
Commission.
1012
02:23:18.880 --> 02:23:25.239
Speaker 17 (Quinlan Conference Room): Thank you. You're welcome. I know
I'm… Probably been a… A painted somebody's side.
1013
02:23:25.475 --> 02:23:27.714
Speaker 11 (Quinlan Conference Room): Asking for that repeatedly.
1014
02:23:27.715 --> 02:23:32.925
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): So, can we say something on the
future agenda 7, please?
1015
02:23:32.925 --> 02:23:33.685
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conference Room): program.
1016
02:23:33.685 --> 02:23:35.964
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): Sure, you can suggest that two
commissioners afterwards.
1017
02:23:35.965 --> 02:23:36.685
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conference Room): love to.
1018
02:23:36.690 --> 02:23:42.000
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): ensure that for the next batch of
future nonprofits as.
1019
02:23:42.005 --> 02:23:44.705
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conference Room): from going to the city of Cupertino
than there are.
1020
02:23:44.980 --> 02:23:53.640
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): Officially confirmed as official
nonprofits, that they are in good standing. That would be one.
1021
02:23:54.200 --> 02:24:14.089
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): So I'm trying to incorporate on the
future agenda to make sure that when we try to grant any money to
AE501C3, that they are in good standing. We need to find out, because we…
95% sometimes are not, and so we're providing money to companies that…
nonprofits that should be, and it would be nice to have that kind of
1022
02:24:15.210 --> 02:24:18.150
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): Yeah. Added security.
1023
02:24:18.155 --> 02:24:33.084
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): I could jump in here. I think we
talked about this, during the community funding process, and you guys
were, seemed interested in confirming that the state and federal, 501c3
status was in good standing, and that, they were contributing
1024
02:24:34.425 --> 02:24:52.644
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): all of the appropriate reimbursement
requests and all that stuff through the city, which we were able to
guarantee at that last meeting that in both those cases, that is the
case, but it is not written in the document, and so we were going to add
that to the document, just to be clear for you guys for next time.
1025
02:24:52.645 --> 02:24:53.405
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): Apologies.
1026
02:24:53.405 --> 02:24:54.134
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conference Room): You're not totally friendly.
1027
02:24:54.140 --> 02:24:54.900
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): My front and brain.
1028
02:24:54.905 --> 02:24:59.544
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): I know, I know, that was a very,
very long meeting.
1029
02:24:59.575 --> 02:25:17.345
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): But I think it was super clear, and
Jacinta confirmed for us after the meeting that she went through, and
they have to provide the receipts and the timeline, and all the
appropriate information, and all that was done accurately for the prior
year's funding, and everybody had a current
1030
02:25:17.395 --> 02:25:18.345
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): bomb.
1031
02:25:18.485 --> 02:25:27.425
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): state and federal 501c3 for the
groups that were being recommended for funding for this coming year. I
did censure,
1032
02:25:27.605 --> 02:25:45.265
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): Kamar Rapan, excuse me so much. The
agenda for the May 11th, which is this coming Monday agenda, and that's
the first opportunity for the Council to look at the budget for next
year, and it does include the community funding recommendation from this
commission.
1033
02:25:45.265 --> 02:26:01.745
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): And he will be present for that
meeting in case there are any questions of, the process that we took, and
or the recommendations that were made. So, that agenda is active and
available if you want to go online and take a peek.
1034
02:26:02.960 --> 02:26:05.190
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): Excuse me. Thank you.
1035
02:26:05.310 --> 02:26:13.899
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): Before returning, I just want to
make sure that the next June meeting… do we have a June meeting, or July
is the only one canceled, right?
