Hi Kirsten,
Please add this e-mail to Written
Communications for tonight's 12/9/2022
meeting. It is my "Thank you" to Jon Willey
for his outstanding service to our community
these past four years as a Cupertino City
Council member. He was a major Difference
Maker in making our community a better place
to live and enjoy.
**********************************
I've known Jon Willey for six years. My
lasting impression of Jon is that he connects
with people - everyone. He enjoys talking and
sharing. He is friendly to all, and
knowledgeable. He pursues the truth on issues
that affect our diverse community. Being an
engineer, he values the basics and the details.
He doesn't force his views on anyone - he
listens to and learns from talking with
residents. Jon works tirelessly to uncover the
evidence and facts in order to form his views
of what will work and what won't. Once he
understands the issues, he shares his thoughtful
views and action plans, and works to make
them a reality.
Jon is passionate about our Cupertino
community of residents and commuting
workers. He wants the best for everyone. He
wants everyone to be treated fairly, not just
those residents with ample resources and
homes, but also those less fortunate. Just one
example of his caring for everyone is that he
visited the homeless camp on Wolfe Road, and
worked on plans to help.
As a devoted father of three school age
youngsters and with decades as a volunteer
basketball coach, Jon knows how to help kids
succeed. Jon has spent his four years on our
City Council representing and working for all
the residents. We all benefited. Thank you
Jon for taking time from your young family to
serve our community. We will miss your wise
advice and guidance.
Jim Moore, friend and long-time resident

Dear Outgoing Mayor Darcy Paul,
You have done so much in your 8 years on our Council and 3 years as Mayor. I especially appreciate your
spearheading our new park space and park upgrades, the library renovation, four new housing projects and
acquisition of new city property.
One accomplishment I would like to highlight is you particular skill in chairing the City Council meetings. Despite
the Pandemic, lockdown, and other challenges- Your leadership has been beautiful thing to observe.
Similar to the role of an airplane traffic control you consistently keep the meetings on track, manage “in person” and
Zoom functions simultaneously, remember who’s turn it is, whether it be council, resident, staff, or other. At the
same time you are kind, polite, set limits as needed, accomplish the agenda and almost always finish on or before
midnight.
Your enthusiasm and tireless energy for Cupertino has been inspiring.
Thank you,
Susan Moore
40+year resident
