Commission appointments
I am writing to let you know my opposition to Tessa Parish for any commission. I have been bullied by her on
nextdoor. She abused her lead status on nextdoor and after my complaints nextdoor removed her as a neighborhood
lead. Her behavior on nextdoor is extremely antagonizing when she does not agree with neighbors. This form of
behavior is not fitting for a commission. We have seen how appointing citizens with antagonizing behavior has played
out in our city, with the appointment of R Wang. We do not need a repeat of that.

Hi Kirsten,
Sorry for the late reply, I've been out of the office with a bug of some sort. Answers to your questions are in line below
in red . I'm working from home a bit today-feel free to call my extension (1364) if you have any other urgent questions,
it rings to my cell.
Thanks,
Gilee

Hi Gilee,
Can you explain what the Sustainability Commission educational rep does that distinguishes itself from a regular
commission member?
The educational rep takes a leadership role on programs, projects, and subjects that relate to K-12 education
and students. They typically serve on subcommittees related to educational programs, i.e. student green grants,
waste audits in the schools, and student essay contests . They act as a liaison with the schools and educational
stakeholders for Commission business.
What do we expect them to offer?
We expect them to help us to connect with school representatives, to have ideas on how to involve the schools
in our programs, to take a leadership role in organizing initiatives that involve education , and to advocate for
schools/ students on the Commission .
Do we expect them to communicate with the school district regularly? If yes, how does the communication happen?
Speaking for myself, I would expect the educational rep to be able to have some connectio ns with the school
district, and to be able to commun icate with them and bring back ideas on how to connect w ith the schools to
inform their work as a Commiss ioner.
Thanks, Kirsten

Tessa Parish-Housing Commission Interview
Goals: if given the opportunity to serve on the Housing Commission:
Situation: Affordable Housing is needed but we lack the funds to build it.
After reviewing the most recent Council meeting, staff report from that
meeting and the Housing commission recommendations.
Proposed Solutions:
1. It is mentioned that a long list of bills have been passed to promote
housing, ADUs etc. I would like to propose having the housing
committee investigate, what Gov grants, AND what other funds might
be available for investing into affordable housing. We need to go out
and get it.
2. The Housing Committee could reach out to the Tech giants:
Face book, Google & Apple to see how we might avail ourselves of the
millions of dollars being donated for affordable housing-Housing
Trust Silicon Valley or Donors.
I feel like there is a lot of interest in housing and I feel like there is a lot of
money out there, there should be a way to build our share of affordable
housing without asking the City to pay for it or be forced to provide
incentives to developers to offset the costs.
I feel like it is the commissions' job to provide solutions rather than
problems.
Thank you for your consideration,
Tessa Parish
Resident of Cupertino
