its CDBG funds. The Plan has demographics on Cupertino showing ethnicity, income, etc. of Cupertino
residents. There are several tables which set the priorities for the program based on the analyzed needs.
Commissioner Maroko requested additional information on the breakdown of the Asian population that is
included on the Figure C map. Staff mentioned that they would request the information from consultant,
Bay Area Economics.
Commissioner Barnett suggested the goals on Table 2 on page 120 of the plan be reduced so they are more
reasonable and achievable. Staff explained that they were in the process of making those updates.

expiring. He urged staff to work with the property owner to extend the term. Staff agreed.
