Dear City Council,
Please pull CONSENT ITEM #9 so it can be discussed.
I do not feel that small businesses in our city that get kicked out of their leases/locations are getting the support they
need to relocate in Cupertino. They build community. They provide local services and gathering places and they
contribute sales tax revenue.
Also, if the manager had remained knowledgeable and informed about space available, it would have been them instead
of members of Council who brought the Torre property to the attention of the City.
Maybe it’s time to re‐think this manager‐for‐hire approach and get someone who is fully committed to our city for the
long term, not just a year‐to‐year contract. Maybe someone who lives in Cupertino or maybe the job description is too
broad!
Sincerely,
Peggy Griffin
