No Council action is being sought. Scenic Circle is scheduled to go out to bid on December 3rd and bids are scheduled to be opened on January 18th. The CEQA comment period for Scenic Circle Access does end on December 6th. Comments provided within the comment period will be reviewed and presented to Council in the form of CEQA Documents on January 18th, in conjunction with a discussion of other project details. Council will then have the opportunity to direct staff on how to proceed. SCCP Phase II information is being provided on this agenda to give Council adequate time to begin considering several options of scope and funding. Staff expects to be recommending a public comment period following the January 18th meeting, depending on the alternative chosen. Thank you, Terry W.

For public comment on Monday's council meeting - since today is Thanksgiving day, I do not have the time to make this message as pretty or as politically correct as I'd like... On Wednesday, I got notice that you will be making two important decisions regarding the "Stevens Creek Corridor." I have two concerns about this: 1 - Why have your constituents gotten such short notice? The City recently spent quite a bit of money on a dinner meeting in an effort to encourage collaborative decision - making between City government and your voters. Monday is not a typical day for a council meeting. We got notice on Wednesday for this meeting, if Thursday and Friday were business days, I would expect the meeting to be on Tuesday, to provide 3 full business days notice. However, the City of Cupertino, along with many other businesses are closed this Thursday and Friday; so providing notice on Wednesday for a Monday meeting provides ZERO business days notice. THIS IS NOT OKAY. I fully expect that someone from staff will spend hours in response to this message with some sort of legal -ease that what has been done is okay - however, I would like to appeal to your emotional reasons for being voted in as council members and for your future aspirations in serving the community. This late notice is not appropriate and I would expect you to postpone these agenda items and apologise to the community for the lapse in good judgement. 2 - The agenda discusses the Scenic Circle access project. The comment period for this project ends on December 6, well after the scheduled item. Making decisions about the project prior to the end of the comment period sends the message to your voters that this project is completely a done deal; you have no intention on listening (or acting upon) any community input; and you have no interest in your voters. Another faux -pas in my book. Best wishes for a fine Thanksgiving. Kindest Regards, Rhoda Fry 2
