1) Bicycle Facilities Increase the inventory of bicycle facilities and amenities, such as bike racks,

this as a work plan item for FY 22-23 is therefore premature.

the Bicycle Pedestrian Commission, and the technology to identify and

Youth Who Work
Encourage more youth and young adults in schools to work and also help small
businesses to reduce the burden caused higher minimum wages. For example,
the City could provide $2/hour to compensate local small businesses.

Intergenerational Engagement
Many seniors have a wealth of lifelong experiences. Many teens do not have
grandparents nearby. Activities cross generations could benefit both. Schools
could engage seniors in the community to attend school open house or serve as
volunteers, such as reading partners.
Teen Commission could take the elad
on this project Assigned to the Teen Commission 030
Hybrid Meeting for City Council and
Commission Meetings
Develop policy and infrastrcture to allow hybrid meetings for both City Council,
Commission meetings and future community workshops. This allows seniors,
caretakers, parents with young children to participate and speak.
Virtual meetings have become the
norm nowadsys. The community will
desire the option to attedn a meetinv
virtually.

Visitor Center
Develop an online and offline visitor center/guide so that visitors to Cupertino
know where to go. Ideally a (digital) map to identify locations to visit or for photo
ops to post on social media.
Cupertino is well-known. But besdies
Apple Store, there is no points of
interest. This Visitor Guide will help
boost commercial sales and
Cupertino's image
The Economic Develop Committee could take on
the planning for this task.030
Integrated Plan for Community Engagement
Create Integrated Plan and Database for Community Engagement so that we do no start
from scratch with each project. The plan should include all possible outreach channels,
traditional media, newspaper, including Chinese and other languages, city channel, the
Scene, social media and influencers. community leaders, community groups, HOAs,
block leader programs, Chamber and other business groups etc. Explore the possibility
for Library and Community Engagement Commission so that the Library Commission
could help review and update this plan as needed.
The City continues to waste precious
time since each project appears to
be using an ad hoc approach for
outreach. Each new project can
utulize database and plan to
customize for the project needd.
Assign to Library Commission to explore
possibiliiites. The Commission could put Library
items first so that the Librarians only need to attend
the first half of the meeting.

must define certain procedures within
a future update of the Traffic Manual
before speed limits can be set under
AB 43. Speed limits to be set under AB
43 cannot go into effect until June 30,

community members, award winners,
etc. The number of festivals has grown

Currently there are already artwork
displays in the library, one being from
the Fine Arts Commission. Displays and
potential exhibits would be
operational through the library.
