Subject: West Valley Community Services Involvement in Housing Element
Dear City Council:
Why is West Valley Community Services involved in the
Housing Element process and why are they doing activities with
the consultant?
No one appointed West Valley Community Services to be
involved at this point.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
Jennifer Griffin

Dear City Council Members and Staff,
I’ve reviewed all the material for the Housing Element Update/Stakeholders Group Selection and
have suggestions and concerns/questions below.
SUGGESTIONS:
1. Send emails/notice blasts out EVERY TIME
a. HE appears in a city meeting i.e. CC, PC, Housing, Workshop, Study Session, etc.
b. When there’s a new version of the simulator tool announce it! Blast it out to solicit/encourage
people to try again.
CONCERNS/QUESTIONS: These are regarding “Attachment A – 6th Cycle Housing Element Update –
Public Engagement Activities to date”:
1. Page 1 of 3, Working with WVCS
a. Meeting bi-weekly since Sep. 2021
1: Are meeting minutes/action items being documented?
2: Can these documents be posted for the public?
b. Educational fliers
3: Can these be posted for the public?
c. “…other community-based organizations”
4: Which ones?
2. Page 2 of 3, Posts

Sincerely,
Peggy Griffin

Subject: Stake Holder Meetings
Dear City Council:
I attended a lot of the meetings on the San Jose Urban Village meetings
several years ago. There were Advisory Committees set up for each of
these Urban Villages.
These Advisory Committees were hand picked and often did not
contain members of the public. These groups took no input from the
public.
There was not much transparency in these meetings. I am concerned
that a Stake Holder Group for Cupertino's Housing Element would be
conducted the same way as the San Jose Urban Village Advisory
Committees. And that was not a transparent process.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
Jennifer Griffin
