Dear Council Members,
I see that the agenda today includes an eval of our City Manager. You made a wise decision in
promoting Tina Kapoor to City Manager from within our City’s organization. As a 40+ year
resident, I am pleased with how she represents our City. Most importantly, she’s responsive to
resident concerns – and sets a good example to her staff. I have never seen her show
favoritism toward anyone – that’s a huge plus. She’s a pleasant and capable administrator.
You’ve done good. Keep up the good work.
Regards,
Rhoda Fry

Dear Mayor Moore, Vice Mayor Chao, and Council Member Wang,
In the last several years we have had a succession of city managers that have been recruited
externally, stayed short periods of time, yelled at residents, contradicted the staff from the dais
ad nauseam. Ms Kappor seems to be a steady hand, has cultivated good relationships with
people, is responsive, non partisan, and efficient. She is an argument for why the city should
look into promoting internally before doing an external search.. The city has been lucky to
have such a dedicated employee.
Thank you for your time.
Best regards,
Brooke Ezzat

MEETING AGENDA ITEM.
Dear Mayor Moore, Vice Mayor Chao and Councilmembers,
As a resident of Cupertino, I have been very appreciative of your selection of Tina Kapoor as our city manager.
Often this position is filled externally but her smooth transition into this position has helped our city thrive. Her
familiarity with our city processes and staff helped that transition.
Since taking on this role as city manager, City Manager Kapoor has been welcoming to residents, responsive to
there concerns and has not missed providing an informative City Manager’s Report that I can recall! She has also
followed through with providing Informational Memos when requested by Council. At council meetings, CM
Kapoor has been responsive, direct and respectful. When she does not have an answer she has been straight forward
and offered to find out. Each of these builds trust and confidence in our manager.
I look forward to her continued presence as Cupertino’s City Manager and I thank her for her dedication and hard
work.
Sincerely,
Peggy Griffin
