Thank you for contacting me regarding my status with the Fine Arts Commission. This letter is a waiver request
for your consideration.
First, please accept my sincere regrets for missing the November Fine Arts Commission meeting. As an active
professional branding and graphic designer, it was essential for me to attend a key stakeholder meeting in San
Francisco to discuss progress on a corporate branding initiative and concept development for a retail/restaurant
project called China Live.
Understanding the importance of attending the Fine Arts meetings, I contacted Piu Ghosh in advance to let her
know there was a possibility I would be late or miss the November meeting due to heavy traffic associated with
exiting the city during evening commute hours. In regards to the July meeting that I had also missed, I was ill with
the flu and out of consideration to the other commissioners opted not attend the meeting.
I appreciate the important role as a member of the Fine Arts Commission, and have fully enjoyed participating
and bringing my professional experience and expertise to this position. It would be an honor and a privilege to
continue supporting the City of Cupertino.
Kind regards,
Russell Leong
