CC 08-22-2018 Item No. 22 MTC's Horizon Initiative - Written Communication1 Lauren Sapudar From:Jennifer Griffin <grenna5000@yahoo.com> Sent:Tuesday, August 21, 2018 10:43 AM To:City Council Cc:grenna5000@yahoo.com Subject:Item Number 22 on City Council Agenda for Items Proposed for MTB Dear City Council: Why are we submitting a proposal to the Metropolitan Transportation Board that the Cupertino Chamber of Commerce came up with and no one in the public has ever seen or heard of before? The descriptions of these projects are very controversial and fantastical and have severe issues of getting right of way access and environmental issues to boot. The Cupertino Chamber of Commerce is a very well-regarded entity, but they should not be making decisions for the City of Cupertino. The whole Silicon Valley High Capacity Transit Loop sounds like it is something that should be divulged to the public before any decisions are made about what to do with the idea. The issues alone with Stevens Creek Blvd. cannot even be dealt with as evidenced by the massive obstacles being encountered by a too-big and too-tall hotel on Stern and Stevens Creek Blvd. The public needs to be told about this Silicon Valley High Capacity Transit Loop before anything at all or nothing at all is done with the plan. Thank you very much.

CC 08-21-2018 Item No. 22 From:Jennifer Griffin To:City Clerk Cc:grenna5000@yahoo.com; City Council Subject:Items Number 12 and 22 In Consent Calendar at 8/21 Date:Thursday, August 16, 2018 4:13:23 PM Dear City Clerk: Items Number 12 and Number 22 on the Consent Calendar of the 8/21 City Council meeting are controversial and have not had any public discussion. They should probably be under the Public Hearing of the meeting. I am going to ask that Items 12 and 22 be pulled for discussion from the Consent Calendar at the August 21 City Council meeting. I am wondering if the City Council meeting with be very long with all the items to discuss? Thank you very much.

From:Jennifer Griffin To:City Council Cc:grenna5000@yahoo.com Subject:Items Number 12 and 22 On City Council Agenda:8/21 Date:Thursday, August 16, 2018 1:04:34 PM Dear City Council: Items Number 12 and 22 on the Cupertino City Council Agenda for August 21 are currently under Consent Calendar and should be under Public Hearings since they are controversial and have not been discussed in front of the public at a City Council meeting yet. Item Number 12 is the highly controversial report of the Santa Clara Grand Jury about "Density is Our Destiny" and this item needs to be discussed before the public at City Council before any response by the city is determined. Item 22 involves projects being submitted to the Metropolitan Transportation Board for the Horizon Initiative. This should be discussed before the public at the City Council as they have not been discussed before at the Cupertino CIty Council and there needs to be public discussion before anything is submitted. This involved highly controversial projects involving Stevens Creek Blvd. All five of the proposals are highly controversial and have not been discussed before the public and need to be discussed at the Cupertino City Council before any submissions. Neither Item 12 or 22 are appropriate at Consent Calendar level and should be placed at the Public Hearing level. Thank you very much.
