While these are intended as multi‐year goals, they are reviewed annually by the City Council. The
Council may adopt the same goals or revised goals as the Council sees fit. A community survey
on goals was conducted earlier this year and the results were presented at the March 8 Council
meeting. The results were generally aligned with existing Council goals.
Prioritizing Potential FY 22‐23 City Work Program Items
At the April 5 City Council meeting, Council reviewed the prioritized list that resulted from
councilmembers’ preliminary ratings after the March 8 City Council meeting. After discussion,
Council made the following changes to the list:
Added a “Housing Ownership Strategies” item and a “City‐Owned Properties” item.
Amended the “Senior Strategy” item to include staff’s recommendation regarding an
additional survey component and a component for the elderly aging in their homes.
Amended the “Housing Program for De Anza College Students” item to include a home
sharing program and BMR or middle‐income housing funded by the $819 million bond
measure.
Amended the “Dogs Off Leash Area” item to include the following language: “two new
trials should start as soon as feasible, and the new trial should last at least 6 months unless
the trial is adjacent to a field or playground.”
Removed the “CalTrans Adopt‐a‐Highway Program” item and removed items that
received a sum rating of one or two that staff recommended to not include.
Council also decided that no additional items would be added after the April 5 meeting. These
amendments have been incorporated into Attachment A. Staff recommends that this list be
prioritized by Council at the April 19 meeting.
A rating sheet has been included as Attachment B to facilitate the Council’s rating process. As
discussed at the prior meeting, it is recommended that each Councilmember prioritize the items
with the same rating system as before: up to five items with a “5”, up to thirteen items with a “3”,
and up to thirteen items with a “1”. A rating of “5” would indicate the highest priority while a
rating of “1” would indicate a lower priority. Any unrated items will be considered a ”0” and will
considered lowest priority.
It is recommended that Councilmembers submit their ratings during the April 19 meeting to
ensure adequate time for staff to draft a proposed FY 22‐23 City Work Program based on the
ratings. Staff recommends a 15‐minute break during this agenda item to allow Councilmembers
to make any final adjustments to their ratings and to submit them to staff. The Councilmembers’
ratings and resulting priority order will be included with the next FY 22‐23 City Work Program
discussion on May 17.
Once the items are prioritized, staff will evaluate the prioritized list and draft a proposed FY 22‐
23 City Work Program for Council’s consideration at the May 17 City Council Meeting. The
development of the proposed FY 22‐23 City Work Program will take into account an item’s
prioritization, cost, and staff bandwidth.

determined at that time.

Include Once the draft proposal
for the Cupertino store is

the next step will be the
implementation phase,
which will take place in
FY 22-23. It is
recommended that
Council include this in

Proposal
Revised Objective: Implement the Cupertino Store plan,
which will be adopted by Council as part of the current
City Work Program Item "Cupertino Store at Chamber of
Commerce". This would include identifying a location if one
is not identified in fiscal year 2021-2022. With some help from
the Fine Arts Commission for some of the items with art
designed by community members, items would be
designed and selected for the store, for sale to the public,
and also available for exchange purposes for formal
delegations to and from the City, with an at-cost charge
structure for the latter purposes.

The Revised Objective was developed by combining the
below objectives:
Staff Proposal: Implement the Cupertino Store plan, which
will be adopted by Council by the end of FY 2021-22 as part
of the current City Work Program Item "Cupertino Store at
Chamber of Commerce".
Fine Arts Commission: Art designed by community members
and approved by Fine Arts Commission for Art store to
provide giveaways to visiting Mayors, sister cities,
commissioners from other cities, etc.
Councilmember Proposal: Direction to staff previously was
to investigate multiple site possibilities in this current (2021-
2022) fiscal year. As such, several additional possible sites
come to mind, but are not limited to:
- Quinlan Center
- Library
- City Hall
There are likely to be more feasible places. This combined
item would first identify a location if one is not identified in
fiscal 2021-2022.
In the upcoming 2022-2023 fiscal year, with some help from
the Fine Arts Commission for some of the items, items would
be designed and selected for the store, for sale to the
public and also available for exchange purposes for formal
delegations to and from the City, with an at-cost charge
structure for the latter purposes.
Notes: Combines two items and fulfills need of having
Cupertino-branded material available to the public.

plan to address the issue of the unhoused and how to
provide services in as effective a manner as possible with
the resources available. A specific plan would be
generated which includes consideration and
recommendations for:
- City-driven jobs program. Could be fully independent or
work in collaboration with a partner or partners, including
the County.
- Facility development with supportive services. With non-
profit organization partnership, space would be identified
and a plan for supportive space with an ultimate aim to
provide a pathway to permanent sustained housing would
be made.
- Funding strategy. This would require significant resources,
but the social costs of not addressing this growing issue are
more significant. With grant money and possible private
partnerships available, the deliverable here would be to
provide the City with actionable recommendations for
securing financial support for this program.

groups etc. Explore the possibility for Library and Community

could help review and update this plan as needed.
Notes:
- 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

Student Internship
Program
Councilmember
Proposal
Implement a trial student summer internship program with
the City of Cupertino. Initial year will be on a limited basis. If
approved, applications will be sought for one-, two- or three-
week internships during the summer, with applications to be
released in mid-July. Internships will be project-focused, with
participating City departments asked to identify a specific
project or projects that a student intern can undertake. The
internships will have a common start date, and include an
orientation, group activities and exit interviews.
Alternatively, if the time and resources do not permit the
City to run a trial program in the upcoming summer of the
fiscal year (i.e., Summer 2022), Council may form a
subcommittee to share practices for student internships, and
to bring a report back to Council at the end of Summer 2022
with recommendations as part of the initiation of a student
internship program in Summer 2023.
Notes:
- Based upon consistent inquiries for such opportunities each
year. Furthermore, both the students and City benefit from a
program that matches projects that may not otherwise be
completed as timely with students looking to learn more
about our models of civic engagement and governance.
Timing could be challenging for implementing a formal
program in Summer 2022. As such, the alternative is
recommended to allow for more time to develop such a
program.
Note that some work program items may provide an ideal fit
for generating projects for a student internship program. In
the longer-term, once such a program is implemented, it will
provide an array opportunities for students to learn about
civic engagement while contributing meaningfully to the
community.

community workshops. This allows seniors, caretakers,
parents with young children to participate and speak.

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.

Councilmember
Proposal
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.
Notes:

no points of interest. This Visitor Guide will help boost
commercial sales and Cupertino's image

planning for this task.
