Exhibit CC 05-02-17 Oral CommunicationsCupertino City Hall Department of Public Works Permitting & Development Services 10300 Torre Avenue Cupertino, CA 950140-3202 May 02, 2017 To Whom It May Concern Neighbors within 300' of the proposed project by Verizon have received a certified mail, postmarked April 21, 2017, regarding "Permit Submittal Notice-Verizon Site Number: SF _CUPER018". We protest against all the installations mentioned in the proposal and do not want the City of Cupertino to give the permit to Verizon for working on this project. Cell phone towers emit high-frequency radio waves, or microwaves, that can travel as far as 45 miles over level terrain and of course, they easily penetrate brick and metal. The closer you are, the greater the danger. Mobile towers are especially dangerous because they emit microwaves at a frequency of 1900 MHz (a frequency higher than radio waves). Recent studies have shown that the intense radioactivity from mobile phone towers adversely impacts every biological organism within one square kilometer. The microwaves from cell phone towers can interfere with your body's own Electro Magnetic Fields, causing a variety of potential health problems, including: • Headaches • Memory loss • Cardiovascular stress • Low sperm count • Birth defects • Cancer Our health and our children's health will be at stake if permission for this project is given. Hence, we all are signing this petition and humbly request you to not let Verizon work on this project. We are willing to meet with you if needed. Please let us know your response at the following address: Cleo H Cupertino, Ca 95014 Thank you, Concerned Residents Petition Against Verizon Name Add ress Si~re .

I live in Cupertino and own several properties adjacent to the Verizon Wireless Equipment that you are proposing to upgrade located at the intersection of Cleo Ave and Gardenside Lane. The Verizon Site Number is SF _CUPER018. I want to make it very clear with you and the City of Cupertino ( Chad Mosley, PE 408-777-7604) that I do not approve of this change and will vigorously oppose it. The following are my reasons for my vigorous opposition: • Most importantly, this is a residential area with families and small children. • This should be installed in a Commercially Zoned Area not a residential area. Question-Have potential alternate Commercial installation areas been explored and evaluated for this installation? • Several of the nearby homes have been provided by Habitat for Humanity. The residents of those homes also vigorously oppose the installation as is evidenced by their signatures below. • Concern for the Local Residence's Health-Electromagnetic Microwave Radiation Exposure can possibly lead to a variety of medical problems including Birth Defects, Cancer, Memory Loss, Headaches and Immune System Problems. There is extensive documentation regarding these concerns on the web. • I might also point out that neither myself or the other residents in the area received any notification of the existing installation. We wish to have the existing installation removed also. Summary We know this installation poses risk to the local residents and is not in the best interest of the community. This installation should not be installed in a residential area. It should be put in a commercial area. The existing installation should be also be relocated to a commercial area. Is Verizon willing to accept responsibility for health issues that may arise from this installation? Please give me a written response to these concerns and requests by May 10, 2017.
