Dear Members of the Palo Alto City Council: I am writing to let you know of my strong support for continued negotiations with Pets In Need to operate the City’s Animal Shelter. Palo Alto, Los Altos and Los Altos Hills must have their own shelter, which should also operate a fully functioning spay-neuter clinic, a vital service to those in the community who work tirelessly to humanely decrease the overpopulation of cats and dogs. Thank you for your consideration. Respectfully, Wendy Eilers From:Vanessa Forney To:Council, City Subject:Pets In Need: Feral cat plan (item #9) Date:Monday, February 14, 2022 10:22:22 AM Attachments:image.png CAUTION: This email originated from outside of the organization. Be cautiousof opening attachments and clicking on links. Dear City Council, I am a volunteer trapper and I manage a trapping group, run an educational Instagram, and share resources for TNR in the Bay Area on my website bayareacats.org. I am continually asked what people in Los Altos and Palo Alto can do with the feral cats they feed. My answer is spend $50/cat and wait for appointments. What does this mean? People do nothing and the cats reproduce on the streets. Unless the TNR program is FREE and straightforward (e.g. no appointments, traps readily available for borrowing), people will not trap the cats. They are not their cats, and they are unwilling or unable to spend money on these cats. Every single city besides Los Altos and Palo Alto have free TNR and medical care for ferals (see this overview here on how the other shelters support TNR). This includes but is not limited to: Sunnyvale, Mountain View, Campbell, Milpitas, Santa Clara, Cupertino, Saratoga, Los Gatos, Gilroy, Morgan Hill, Alviso, etc. In all of these cities, cats are TNR'd at no cost (including vaccines, spay/neuter, microchip, flea treatment, and sometimes deworming), many kittens are socialized and adopted out, and ferals are provided additional medical care at no cost. There is no other solution than TNR. No person feeding or trapping will ever support a euthanasia program, and as you know there are not homes, rescues, sanctuaries, or shelter space for every feral cat. Therefore, TNR is the only solution besides leaving the cats to breed on the street. Attached are the cats that have gone to SJACC, SCCAC, HSSV, and SVACA between myself and a few other volunteer trappers in the last 12 months. Without these free TNR programs, that would be over 1200 cats breeding on the street. Even in just the next 2 months that would have been 3000 more kittens. And wait 6 more months, that could be 10000 or more cats. Female cats reproduce at 4 months of age, and can have 3-4 litters per year. TNR is the only solution to stop the breeding and suffering. Imagine if we had to pay $50 per cat. That would be over $50,000 for the cats in the last year. Nearly all trappers are independent volunteers or are people looking to fix the cats they feed. These are not rescue organizations that can easily raise money or ask for donations. These are not people that have $50,000 lying around. I would not trap cats if I had to make appointments and trap one cat at a time and pay $50, and I know many are in that same boat. Every month you delay a TNR program is more cats breeding on the street. TNR is the only way we will get ourselves out of this kitten and cat overpopulation problem. We need free TNR, low cost spay/neuter for pets, and a lot of it. The longer we delay, the longer it will take to get out of this situation. Please don't delay and implement a TNR program and return-to-field program as soon as possible. The suffering is unnecessary, and we need your help to stop it.

Be cautiousof opening attachments and clicking on links. Dear City Council - Feral cat plan – The current Agreement states that PIN cannot release feral cats within the City of Palo Alto or any of its Partner Cities. PIN would like to establish a Trap-Neuter- Release plan for feral cats in cooperation with the City. City staff are open to exploring this topic with participation from community stakeholders. As a resident of Palo Alto since 1958, I have been involved in caring for and managing "feral" (actually fearful) cat colonies for many years, and run a small non- profit dedicated to TNR, socializing, and rehoming these furry darlings since I was a child. I am grateful that our City Council is open to working with other established TNR & colony management programs to establish a working model for the many stray cats on the streets of Palo Alto who are being cared for unofficially by small, independent operators such as myself. We literally have no resources available unless we reach out to neighboring cities and counties and programs and beg for help. All shelters along the peninsula and south bay have TNR policies for area feral cats. This is so wildly important to help decrease the number of abandoned and homeless kitties in our area, while at the same time, humanely take care of this population. Our neighbors in Sunnyvale, Santa Clara and Milpitas get free spay and neuter services for feral cats from the HSSV. PHS offers low cost and free spay neuter for this same class of cat. San Jose residents receive this service from SJACC. They offer vaccinations, deworming, flea treatments and microchipping services. They loan out traps to residents. All of this helps low income residents and local rescues that are overloaded with expenses and animals to save, to participate in ensuring that we can spay/neuter every free roaming cat in our area. This is the only way to reduce the population. One female cat can have several litters of kittens (3-6 at a time) starting at only 6 months old. Without a concerted effort to spay and neuter this population you can see the multiples and understand how quickly this cat population can grow without this effort. If you do not support TNR, leaving them to breed means there will be even more cats than there already are. There are not homes for hundreds of thousands of these cats in the area, there are not enough rescues, and sanctuaries are non-existent. Euthanasia is not a solution and it is not humane. Not all of these homeless cats are wildly feral… many are friendly enough after being fed by humans, to rescue and find homes for. These “feral” cats are the same breed as your everyday house cat… these animals deserve a chance too. It’s a very hard life living outside 24/7. Having Pets In Need (or any experienced nonprofit rescue), support TNR in our community is a very good thing. For the people and the cats. Please support this effort.

Please see the attached letter for your consideration when you further consider the future of Ramona Street. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions. Best, -- Jenny Kugizaki WARBY PARKER We’ve got your eyes covered. Follow us: Instagram, Twitter, Facebook February 9, 2022 Palo Alto City Council 250 Hamilton Ave Palo Alto, CA 94301 Members of the City Council, I am writing in opposition of, and asking you to vote against, the upcoming city proposal to permanently close Ramona Street. I am writing on the behalf of Warby Parker located at 555 Ramona Street in Palo Alto. As a local business, we ask you to support the business community on Ramona Street by reopening the street to parking, traﬃc and business visibility. The past two years we understand there has been a need for outdoor spaces and outdoor dining to support both our local communities safety and the economic interests of local restaurants. Those needs have now changed with indoor dining being allowed, Santa Clara vaccination rates above 85% and indoor mask mandates ending in California on February 15th, 2022. We urge the council to begin the process of reopening our city streets, as you did with University Avenue, and begin the process of returning Palo Alto to its former city plan. As an essential business that serves the Palo Alto community in their eyecare and vision needs, it is critical that our customers have the greatest opportunity to ﬁnd and easily access our business. With the closure of Ramona Street, we have seen a negative impact in customer traﬃc, diﬃculty in ﬁnding our location and navigating disruptive behavior outside our doors from the parklets. While we have continued to hold consistent open hours as a retail business, we have not seen this same consistency in the neighboring dining establishments operating hours. This has created negative traﬃc on Ramona Street and empty parklets. We are always in support of the needs of the Palo Alto community. In reviewing all of the community written requests in the City agenda, it is clear that there is an overwhelming support in the continuation of closure on California Ave. Those same comments did not include Ramona Street with the same support and in fact, there was other opposition from other Ramona Street local business owners. With this in mind, we ask you consider these nuances in your voting and reopen Ramona Street for free navigation and traﬃc. Thank you for your consideration in taking our economic need as a local business in voting for this important issue that impacts all business owners on Ramona Street.

Dear Mayor Burt, If the City purchases Cubberley land from the school district, does this mean that the City and PAUSD will not be sharing any future buildings that are built at Cubberley? As a taxpayer who supports both the City and PAUSD, it doesn’t make sense to build one set of buildings (such as gymnasiums and a theater) that are used by PAUSD mostly during school hours, and another identical set that are used by the City mostly on evenings and weekends. Other nearby cities have been able to build and share facilities. It seems that significant taxpayer savings would result from the City and PAUSD cooperating to share space at Cubberley. The City and PAUSD worked with Concordia a couple of years ago to develop plans for building and sharing facilities at Cubberley. As an alternative to an outright purchase of PAUSD land at Cubberley, is it possible to present taxpayers with a bond issue that 1) provides funds for the new buildings, and 2) provides PAUSD with a solid stream of income for buildings that are built on its land? A significant amount of community effort went into the Concordia plan. It’s hard for me to imagine what a future Cubberley would look like if the City and PAUSD don’t cooperate in its development, but I doubt that it would be near as good as the Concordia plan. I’d personally support a Cubberley bond issue that includes: 1) a Concordia-like vision for the overall development of the property, 2) eventual sharing of facilities between the City and PAUSD, and 3) significant compensation to PAUSD for the City’s use of buildings on its land. I prefer this approach to an outright purchase of PAUSD land.

I'm happy to answer any questions you might have—I can be reached at the e-mail address shown below. Respectfully, Peter J. Wolf Research/Policy Analyst Best Friends Animal Society 602.499.1474 February 13, 2022 Palo Alto City Council Via e-mail: City.Council@cityofpaloalto.org Re: Consideration of TNR for managing Palo Alto’s community cats Mayor Burt and members of the Palo Alto City Council: Best Friends Animal Society is a leading national animal welfare organization dedicated to ending the killing of cats and dogs in America’s shelters. On behalf of Best Friends and our supporters, I urge you to adopt trap-neuter-return (TNR) for managing Palo Alto’s community cats. I understand that you will soon to be meeting with Pets in Need (PIN) to discuss the organization’s plan for a TNR program. Best Friends has operated several TNR programs across the country and supported many others. Our experience with these programs is consistent with the growing body of peer-reviewed research documenting the efficacy of targeted TNR for reducing community cat populations [1–11] and reducing feline admissions at local animal shelters [12– 15]. These results stand in stark contrast to those of the traditional approach to managing community cats (i.e., impoundment followed, in most cases, by lethal injection), which has been used for more than 100 years in this country with no evidence whatsoever that it’s produced any long-term population reduction. It’s also wildly unpopular and costly [16], the poster child for failed public policy. Indeed, recent studies have illustrated the futility of the traditional approach. A 2015 study, for example, found that “low-level ad hoc culling of feral cats” is not only ineffective at reducing their numbers, but might actually lead to their increase due to “influxes of new [adult] individuals after dominant resident cats were removed” [17]. More recently, researchers found that, despite removing “an estimated 44% of the population,” there were “no meaningful differences in the relative abundance and density of feral cats” just three months later [18]. Such results are hardly surprising to anybody involved in animal control. Indeed, nearly 15 years ago, Mark Kumpf, then president of the National Animal Care & Control Association (NACA), compared the traditional method for managing cats to “bailing the ocean with a thimble.” Kumpf continued: “There’s no department that I’m aware of that has enough money in their budget to simply practice the old capture-and-euthanize policy, nature just keeps having more kittens” [19]. The lessons learned since then were codified last year, when NACA revised its policy on Animal Control Intake of Free-Roaming Cats. In it, the organization formed nearly 45 years ago “to provide resources, standardized training, and • • Best n . Friends· ~ Save Them All" 2 support for animal care and control professionals across the United States” [20] noted that: “indiscriminate pick up or admission of healthy, free-roaming cats, regardless of temperament, for any purpose other than TNR… fails to serve commonly held goals of community animal management and protection programs and, as such, is a misuse of time and public funds and should be avoided” [21]. Despite the many well-documented benefits of targeted TNR, I imagine you will be hearing from some vocal detractors. (It’s ironic that the greatest barrier to sterilizing and vaccinating more cats is often the very people complaining most loudly about the cats.) I encourage you not to be distracted by their sensational claims and scaremongering and focus instead on what they’re not saying: they don’t have any feasible alternative to offer—never mind an example of where this alternative has proven successful. Empty rhetoric might make for good press, but it gives policymakers like yourselves very little to work with; as you know, your constituents expect solutions, however imperfect. Targeted TNR programs offer a commonsense, humane, effective, and economical method for managing community cats. No wonder such programs are becoming increasingly popular across the country, in communities large and small, urban and rural. I encourage you to work with PIN to implement a TNR program for managing Palo Alto’s community cats. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me. Respectfully, Peter J.

Dear I have decided to contact you after much thought considering the fact that we have not meet before, but because of some circumstance obliged me, I decided to contact you due to the urgency of my present situation here in the refugee camp for your rescue and also for a business venture/project in which I need your assistance in this business establishment in your country as my foreign partner as well as my legal appointed trustee.

I am currently residing in Burkina Faso unfortunately as a refugee. I am writing this mail with tears and sorrow from my heart asking for your urgent help. I have passed through pains and sorrowful moments since the death of my late father. At the same time, my family is the target of Western nations led by Nato who want to destroy my father at all costs. Our investments and bank accounts in several countries are their targets to freeze. My Father of blessed memory deposited the sum of Twenty Seven Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($27.500.000.000) in Bank Of Africa Burkina Faso which he used my name as the next of kin. I have been commissioned by the Bank to present an interested foreign investor/partner who can stand as my trustee and receive the fund in his account for a possible investment in his country due to my refugee status here in Burkina Faso. I am in search of an honest and reliable person who will help me and stand as my trustee so that I will present him to the Bank for the transfer of the fund to his bank account overseas. I have chosen to contact you after my prayers and I believe that you will not betray my trust. But rather take me as your own sister or daughter. I am willing to negotiate an investment/business profit sharing ratio with you based on the future investment earning profits.

Dear Mayor Burt and City Councilmembers, Attached is a petition on behalf of 370 community members requesting the City to prioritize the recommendations in the Dec 16, 2021 Civil Grand Jury Report on affordable housing production. These recommendations ask the City to: Identify specific locations for the development of significant affordable housing, including area-specific land use and zoning plans Expand and diversify funding sources for affordable housing Invest in more community education and communication around affordable housing -Streamline: Expedite the review process for all new housing projects that include Below Market Rate (BMR) units Many of the identified challenges in the report have been obstacles to developing affordable housing in our community for many years. Please let’s examine our policies, practices, and outcomes with a renewed sense of urgency. Respectfully submitted, Sheryl Klein Palo Alto Resident 1 February 13, 2022 Dear Mayor Burt, Palo Alto City Council Members, and Community: We, a group of 370 residents and community members, are concerned about the future affordability and vibrancy of Palo Alto. The December 16, 2021 Santa Clara County Civil Grand Jury report on Affordable Housing production in Palo Alto and Mountain View provided numerous recommendations to encourage the production of affordable housing in both cities. The recommendations for Palo Alto will make planning easier, reduce development time and cost, and provide funding to create affordable housing. We urge our leaders to: 1. Plan: Identify specific locations for development of significant affordable housing, including area-specific land use and zoning plans (Recommendations 6a, 6b) 2.Fund: Expand and diversify funding sources for affordable housing (Recommendations 12a, 12b, 13) 3. Educate: Invest in more community education and communication around affordable housing (Recommendations 3, 4, and 8) 4. Streamline: Expedite the review process for all new housing projects that include Below Market Rate (BMR) units (Recommendations 9a, 9b, 10a, 14) The Grand Jury report is a call to action for the City Council. Palo Alto should advance these critical reforms through its Housing Element plan, which must be certified by the State of California in early 2023. Many of the identified challenges have been obstacles to developing affordable housing in our community for many years. We must examine our policies, practices, and outcomes with a renewed sense of urgency. Housing options near transit and jobs can both increase housing affordability and help meet our climate action goals.

I saw many mentions of crime as well as overhead plane noise but these were not part of the 2022 priorities. There are other priorities that I don’t see mentioned many times in the public comment that are currently on the city Council 2022 priority list. How did you determine the 2022 priorities? Additionally, How do you ensure that these comments are actually come from Palo Alto residents? It seems like the Council’s priorities are inconsistent with the public comments.

From all indications my condition is really deteriorating and it's quite obvious that I won't live long according to my doctors. This is because my cancer stage has gotten to a very bad stage. My late husband was killed during the U.S raid, against terrorism in Afghanistan when he traveled to Afghanistan to monitor a Hospital/a Humanitarian Found at (HHF) he was setting up for the benefit of the Afghan masses as of then; whose majority and 99 percent of them were Muslims, Islamic scholars and loyalists. During the period of our marriage we couldn’t produce any child. But my late husband was very wealthy and after his death, I inherited all his businesses and wealth, and when I noticed that my condition is not improving rather it gets worsen by the day I decided to divide part of this wealth, to contribute to Charity and the development of the churches around and later I prayed over it. So I am willing to donate the sum of $1.2 Million to you for charity, Evangelical work and the less privileged, churches, orphanages and widows, Propagating the word of God and to ensure that the house of God is maintained. I took this decision upon my self because I don't have any child that will inherit this money and my husband relatives are not Christians and I don't want my husband's hard earned money to be misused by unbelievers. Because I have come to find out that wealth acquisition without Christ is vanity upon vanity. Please I want you to note that this fund is deposited with security company For safety purpose. And upon my instruction, I will file in an application for the Change of Ownership of the fund to your name once I hear from you and you give me assurance of utilizing the fund properly. May the Grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you and your family.

Council members, I am writing on behalf of the very established businesses on California Avenue that have been precious and a grounding for all who live here. I am especially thinking of The Cobblery that goes back 4 generations in our community, the current owners beloved by so many, energetic and motivated to stay, in fact turning themselves inside out to stay afloat ie. changing the merchandise to attract street pedestrian traffic, finding a renter business to use small spaces. Why are we not supporting such local treasures? We want to keep, of course, Country Sun, Leaf and Petal, Joanie's who have somehow found a way to stay without sidewalk drop-ins. These businesses ARE Palo Alto. What do we want instead? There are plenty of new restaurants all over the city. Thank you. Pat Hukill, 2200 Amherst St. Palo Alto. From:Mr. Nta Ekpo.

See Peninsula Corridor Joint Powers (JPB) Board staff report, “Award of Contract to ProvideOn-Call Planning Support for Grade Separation Projects” in the agenda packet for the August 3,2017, JPB Board meeting on PDF pages 155-159 at:http://www.caltrain.com/Assets/__Agendas+and+Minutes/JPB/Board+of+Directors/Agendas/2017/2017-08-03+JPB+Agenda.pdf; and minutes of the JPB August 3, 2017, JPB Board Meeting at the bottom of Page 6 of 8 and the topof Page 7 of 8 at:http://www.caltrain.com/Assets/__Agendas+and+Minutes/JPB/Board+of+Directors/Minutes/2017/2017-08-03+JPB+approved+minutes.pdf. Therefore, AECOM has a potential conflict of interest in working for the City of Palo Alto on the Grade Separation project, because it receives funds from the JPB for "Planning Support forGrade Separation Project". The proposed contract with AECOM, including the Scope of Services for the contract, appears inthe 4/16/2018 staff report (ID # 9100) for this agenda item at: https://www.cityofpaloalto.org/civicax/filebank/documents/64464. The following information appears in that staff report and scope of services at the pagesindicated below: Contract page 7, PDF page 12 of 51, under "Section 21. Conflict of Interest, paragraph 21.1":"In accepting this agreement, CONSULTANT covenants that it presently has no interest, and willnot acquire any interest, direct or indirect, financial or otherwise, which would conflict inany manner or degree with the performance of Services." Contract page 11, PDF page 16 of 51, under "Scope of Services Contents": "Task 7. Assist theCity during CAHSR Environmental Analysis Phase". Contract page 12, PDF page 17 of 51, under "Project Understanding", first paragraph, lastsentence, "City is preparing for increases in passenger rail service due to Caltrain'sElectrification Project and the probable California High-Speed Rail (CAHSR) Project." Contract page 28, PDF page 33 of 51, under "Task 7. Assist City during CAHSR EnvironmentAnalysis Phase": "At CITY's request, CONSULTANT will attend relevant CAHSR EIR meetings andensure that CITY's interests are represented during the environmental analysis process. ...CONSULTANT will review and summarize relevant information in the EIR documents and [help]draft comments and [provide] supplemental information to the CHSRA to address CITY'sconcerns." Since November 2008, AECOM has had a $55 million contract with the California High Speed RailAuthority (CHSRA) for the Altamont Corridor Rail Project as part of the Bay Area to CentralValley Program EIR/EIS. In May 2013 CHSRA transferred funding for Altamont Corridor Planning to the San JoaquinRegional Rail Commission (SJRRC), including the $36.43 million the California Legislatureappropriated to CHSRA for the Altamont Corridor when the Legislature approved SB 1029. See the staff report prepared for the June 6, 2013, CHSRA Board Meeting, Item #3 to "TransferLeadership and Funding for Altamont Corridor to the SJRRC at:https://www.hsr.ca.gov/docs/brdmeetings/2013/060613/AI_3_Proposal_Amend_MOU.pdf See "Amended Second Memorandum of Understanding" between the California High Speed RailAuthority and the San Joaquin Regional Rail Commission at:http://www.hsr.ca.gov/docs/brdmeetings/2013/060613/AI_3_Attachment_MOU_SJRRC.pdf, on PDF page5 of 6, under "12. Funding.: The California State Legislature appropriated funds specificallyfor environmental and design work in the Altamont corridor as part of SB 1029 (Chapter 152,Statutes 2012) in the amount of $36.43 million. The Authority plans to apply these funds tothe planning and environmental work within the Region in cooperation with SJRRC ..." Monthly reports of the spending on the CHSRA contract with AECOM funded by CHSRA and currentlyadministered by SJRRC are provided to the CHSRA Finance & Audit Committee. These reports enable the calculation of the contract amount spent during any time period bycomparing the contract balance between two of these monthly reports. During the most recent twelve months, it is possible to calculate the amount spent for the tenmonths of May 2017 through February 2018 inclusive. For that ten month period over $7 million of the $55 million contract with AECOM was expended: Balance as of April 30, 2017: $37,222,747 Balance as of February 28, 2018: $30,201,568 ----------- Total Expenditure: $ 7,021,179 CHSRA June 2017 Contracts & Expenditures Report as of April 30, 2018:http://www.hsr.ca.gov/docs/brdmeetings/2017/brdmtg_061417_FA_Contracts_Expenditures_Report.pdf,Page 1 of 19.

AECOM has a potential conflict of interest in working for the City of Palo Alto, because itreceives funds from CHSRA that are laundered through SJRRC. AECOM should not be working for the City of Palo Alto on rail issues related to Caltrain andrelated to CHSRA, because AECOM receives funding from both of these organizations. Therefore, you should remove this item from your Consent Calendar and reject the proposedcontract. Thank you for your consideration of these comments.

The staff report for this agenda item at Packet Page 248 in thefirst paragraph under "Background" shows the City's requirementto provide animal services. That is not Pets in Need's purpose. Pets in Need's Form 990 for the fiscal year ending April 30,2020 at page 2 says, "Most of the shelter guests are lovinganimals that have been rescued from public facilities wherethey were in danger of being killed." Pets in Need does not want a contract with the City of PaloAlto to provide the animal services the City is required toprovide by law. Pets in Need wants a contract with the City to obtain abuilding paid for by the City to house the animals it"rescues", and Pets in Need wants to use the City's name toenable Pets in Need to solicit contributions for its objectiveof rescuing animals. Letters from citizens in prior agenda packets have reported thefailure of Pets in Need to provide the services the City isrequired to provide by law. Newspapers have reported the neglect of Pets in Need thatresulted in the death of animals it was "rescuing". The City has already paid for the capital improvements that aCity operated animal shelter needs. The budget issue before you is the same issue you have beenpresented with by three City Managers: Do you want to spendmoney on capital improvements while eliminating City employees,or do you want to balance expenditures between salaries andcapital improvements so that the workers in the buildings havethe commitment to provide the services that buildings wereconstructed to house?

The adopted budget for Animal Services includesfour Animal Control Officers and four otheremployees. Pets in Need proposes that the City retain thefour Animal Control Officers while Pets inNeed would have eleven other employees. What would the additional seven employees be doing H that is not being done now? The budget description for Animal Services saysthe division "Provides animal control, petrecovery/adoption services, animal care, animalhealth and welfare, and regional animal services",where the term "regional animal services"currently includes only Los Altos and Los AltosHills. Although Pets in Need's proposal would receiverevenue from the City for each animal collectedwithin the Palo Alto Animal Services service area,Pets in Need accepts rescues from other northernCalifornia cities. To what extent does the staffing and facility sizedepend upon Pets in Need being an openaccess shelter for other northern Californiacities to achieve its goal of validating the no-kill movement? If, as the staff report states in the first fullparagraph on Packet Page 372, "adjustments may berequired to service levels based on the negotiatedfee structure and facility's capacity", how wouldthe need for such adjustments depend upon theextent to which the facility accepts rescues fromother northern California? Should animals fromthe Animal Shelter's current service area havepreference at the shelter over animals from othercommunities?

The memorial plaza will include a bronze statue to honor residents of Japanese ancestry who were unjustly imprisoned at Tanforan during World War II. (Ray Chavez/Bay Area News Group) SAN BRUNO — Dozens of people crowded inside the San Bruno BART station Friday morning to celebrate the groundbreaking of a new memorial for Japanese-Americans who were imprisoned at the Tanforan Racetrack during World War II, permanently cementing the infamous history of internment into the city’s memory. The memorial will feature a bronze-cast statue depicting the famous Dorothea Lange picture of two children of the Mochida family who, with their parents, are awaiting an evacuation bus at Centerville California, a reminder for all who walk past it that 8,000 Bay Area residents of Japanese ancestry were forcefully and unjustly detained and processed at the Tanforan “Assembly Center” for internment in Utah. SAN BRUNO, CA – FEBRUARY 11: Tanforan Assembly Center Memorial Committee member and photojournalist Paul Kitagaki Jr., center, and other members, pose for photos during a groundbreaking ceremony for a memorial plaza outside the San Bruno BART station in San Bruno, Calif., on Friday, Feb. 11, 2022. The memorial plaza will include a bronze statue to honor residents of Japanese ancestry who were unjustly imprisoned at Tanforan during World War II. Also, a permanent photo project by Kitagaki Jr. is displayed inside the BART station. (Ray Chavez/Bay Area News Group) It took nearly a decade to get all the funding and planning together to build the statue, an endeavor which was taken on by the Tanforan Assembly Center Memorial Committee led by President Doug Yamamoto starting in 2012. But for the many Japanese-American victims of human rights abuses by the US government, the memorial is really 80 years in the making. “The committee has been waiting I don’t know how many years,” said committee member Steve Okamoto. “We’ve faced years of frustration, obstacles and delays. So this is a truly special occasion.” Between April and October 1942, the former Tanforan Racetrack — now home to the soon to be redeveloped Tanforan Shopping Center — was the site of an internment camp where thousands of Japanese Americans were detained and processed for forced relocation and internment in places like the Topaz War Relocation Center in Utah. The relocation center would be home to people like Jean Mitoma, a 100-year-old Palo Alto woman who spoke with The Mercury News before her death and who described the grueling, humiliating, dehumanizing and traumatic events of her forced internment. For families like Mitoma’s — and many of the other Japanese Americans who attended Friday’s groundbreaking — the forced relocation meant giving up homes, furniture, family heirlooms, pets and history without knowing whether any of it would be returned. Many times, families returned in the post-war period to vandalized valuables they’d stored in warehouses or downright nothing at all, forcing many to start over from scratch. In a speech to the crowd Friday, Congresswoman Jackie Speier said the memorial should serve as a reminder for all people that prejudice is real, its consequences are severe and that something like this should never happen again. “People were stripped of their liberty and property at a time when bigotry prevailed and the constitution was scrapped and Americans lost their way,” Speier said. “This memorial should remind us how important it is for all of us to enjoy the freedoms of this country. Something like this should never happen again.” Speier — who is retiring this year — compared the internment of Japanese Americans to the cruel treatment of Mexican immigrants at the border which she witnessed while on a congressional trip to Department of Homeland Security camps where asylum-seekers were kept in deplorable, freezing conditions. Moriki Mochida family. The Mochida family was one of the 161 families taken by bus from Hayward, CA, to the Tanforan Detention Center. The Mochida children ages 3 to 17 were U.S.-born citizens. Military-issued identification tags labeled both family members and Ii] luggage. “I looked into a cell filled with children and looked at a little girl who was bawling,” Speier said. “People were imprisoned here in a race track, in stables. Many of our friends and colleagues are descendants of people who were interned here. This memorial should serve as a daily reminder we will not tolerate this in America.” The new memorial is the first installation of its size dedicated to internment victims. The committee who organized it began their work ten years ago with the installation of a photography exhibit featuring the work of Lange and Paul Kitagaki, Jr. Located inside the San Bruno BART Station, once the site of the detention center, the exhibit showcases Lange’s historical photos of the mass incarceration of Japanese Americans on the West Coast alongside Kitagaki’s contemporary images that include some of Lange’s original subjects from 1942. Standing beside two pictures of her mother at the BART station on Friday — one of her as a young child at Tanforan and another depicting her at an old age — former South San Francisco mayor Karyl Matsumoto remembered her time at Manzanar, one of the ten American concentration camps where the more than 120,000 Japanese Americans were incarcerated from March 1942 to November 1945. Like about 100 other children at Manzanar, Matsumoto was orphaned and adopted by Lillian and Harry Matsumoto after the war’s end. She said internment “broke” her adoptive father, and many of her other family members also suffered from the post- traumatic stress of internment. Japanese Americans arrive at the Tanforan Assembly Center in 1942. Shizu “Sugar” Mitsuyoshi is in the center with the white coat. “I was imprisoned at Manzanar, but my grandparents, aunts and uncles, were here at Tanforan,” Matsumoto said. “I’ve been in this committee since the get-go and it’s been a hard sell from the beginning. It was little notice and BART finally in their infinite wisdom came and gave us the green light. It means so much.” Matsumoto, painting a picture of her family’s struggles during the 40s, said that it’s unimaginable to sit at home with less than a month to pack all your things or sell them for pennies on the dollar without knowing where you’re going or whether you’d ever return to your home. [g] “To come here and see that you’d be kept in horse stables, it was just heartbreaking,” Matsumoto said. With Asian hate crimes increasing across the country and particularly in the Bay Area, Matsumoto said she hopes that people will learn from the past and keep atrocities from being committed again towards minority groups. “Thirty years ago people didn’t know about this or didn’t want to hear it. It’s unconscionable,” Matsumoto said. “History tends to repeat itself but I hope it won’t.” SAN BRUNO, CA – FEBRUARY 11: Karyl Matsumoto looks at a photo of her mother Lilian Matsumoto as part of a permanent photo exhibit by photographer Paul Kitagaki at the San Bruno BART station in San Bruno, Calif., on Friday, Feb. 11, 2022.

Rebecca, So sorry to hear about your unpleasant experience, I recall city council member Larry Klein calling me a “despicable person” publicly from the darius at Monday night’s city Council meeting. As unpleasant as it was, it was within his First Amendment right. There is a difference when the person’s speech warrants the microphone being silenced. Apparently this was not the case with you and the vulgar speech directed at you continued. Suggesting that some city council members enjoy such despicable language and pubic bereavement. Perhaps it’s their way of getting back at you for not taking immediate action in turning off the microphone. There is a published policy somewhere on city council chamber decorum which states that any person who disrupts the meeting can be charged with a misdemeanor, although I believe such event has never occurred. Aram James, although not charged with a misdemeanor Palo Alto Police officers were in fact called into city council chambers by city council member Jack Morton. The police were armed with there weapons and ready to arrest him. What could be more frightening and intimidating? This may be an example of where city council should investigate further who this person is and charge this person if it warrants, a misdemeanor for being in violation of city council chambers decorum. Although such a charge will in fact not stand up in any court of law with the exception of slander… My personal opinion in examining hundreds of First Amendment cases. Please keep in mind, the first amendment was designed not to protect favorable speech, favorable speech needs no protection. “I am unable to sleep normally. I experience fear while walking down the street”. I understand your fear and its real! I think your should seriously think about litigating this once the person has been identified.

Learn why this is important Dear Officer Zalac, Rebecca Eisenberg City Council Meeting.mov As you know, on Monday night, I was directly verbally assaulted by an anonymous caller to whom Palo Alto City Council gave the mic (in breach of protocol), and I still have heard nothing from anyone at the City in their public (and in all cases but one - Commissioner Kou) private capacity. (I do not think that the Mayor's incredibly lovely wife's wonderful call makes up for the fact that the Mayor himself has said nothing.) As a reminder, the caller, who called himself only "Council Member" was empowered to speak long enough to complain that there are "too many F-ing N- word-s in Palo Alto," followed by "F- You Rebecca Eisenberg. Rebecca Eisenberg is a F-ing B-tch" before finally being disconnected. As I mentioned, I have a history of receiving rape threats, first when I worked as a syndicated newspaper columnist 20 years ago, and then starting again when I ran for office 2 years ago. For anyone who has a history of attempted sexual assault, has been a victim of stalking, and has received rape threats, even recently, the act of being publicly told "F You" and that you (using your name) are a "F'-ing Bitch" can be a frightening matter. Words of comfort, or at least, disagreement are generally expected in that situation. (The video is attached, and is still available, last I looked, at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hK6lESpXH2s , starting at approx 6:15.) More troubling, I heard directly from a Commissioner that this Commissioner was instructed by City Staff not to reach out to me or say anything at a public meeting. Who are the "City Staff" that are instructing city leaders not to mention the horrible remarks directed at me? Doesn't such an instruction conflict with common courtesy and human decency? Shouldn't the City leadership take a vocal stand that they disagree with the words of the caller, that the caller's statements were intolerable, and that the caller's words do not reflect the opinions of the city? Were any actions taken in response to this call? Has the City or PAPD looked into the identity of the caller? As we discussed, I rarely file police reports, but was encouraged to do so this time, given the lack of response by the City. I hoped that filing a report would lead to action, and was very disappointed to hear that the City Staff actually is instructing inaction instead. I This lack of response is particularly alienating, isolating, humiliating, and silencing due to the fact that the Palo Alto Weekly / Palo Alto Online website has silenced me, singling me (and now my husband Curtis Smolar) out for direct censorship, making it impossible for us to post on any of their online forums in real time. Despite the fact that Bill Johnson has stated in writing that neither Curtis nor I violated any of their posting rules, our posts are put into automatic "moderation" that results in delays between 4 and 14 hours prior to posting -- and when posted, there are no changes, proving the imposed "moderation" unnecessary. Bill Johnson's intentional treatment, coupled with the silence following the direct attack on me Monday night, has made me feel unwelcome and unsafe. I literally have no means to be heard if something larger occurs. All normal channels of speaking to the public have been closed to me. Should I speak again, I risk the same response. The City's silence has compounded the harm. I am unable to sleep normally. I experience fear while walking down the street. I have been unable to have courage to speak publicly since this happened, first at the City Council Policy meeting the following night, and then at the Human Relations meeting this morning. To the extent that this caller intended to silence me, his words coupled with the City Council and City Staff's implicit agreement with them (and Johnson's censorship), have succeeded in scaring me out of and banning my public participation. I thank Council Member Lydia Kou for being the only member of Palo Alto leadership who attempted to contact me. As most know, Lydia and I disagree on many policy issues. But what Lydia and I share is a commitment to treating each other with civility and kindness, and these shared values of human decency and common courtesy always trump political disagreements and petty differences. She and I both also recognize the harm that these types of implicit threats cause women in particular. Please know that if I were in their situation, not only would I have said something publicly, immediately, but also that I would have checked in with the victim of these words by phone. That is the way I was brought up to treat others - even those with whom I disagree. It is in those situations, in fact, that human decency is most important. I strongly believe that no human being deserves to be treated the way I was treated by the caller, and via their silence, by our elected officers and appointed commissioners. Thank you in advance for updates on this matter.

Rebecca Eisenberg City Council Meeting.mov Dear Officer Zalac, Thank you very much for the call this evening. I greatly appreciated your reaching out, especially because I still have not heard back from anyone at the City. Last night I had reached out to the City of Palo Alto by email (below) and by Twitter and neither method resulted in an email, tweet, direct message, or phone call. Re-watching the video, I again heard what I heard the first time, after references to "too many f'ing n-ers," the caller then says "F you Rebecca Eisenberg, F you, you are a f-ing b-tch, ..." before he is cut off. It is incomprehensible to me that no one at the city condemned the caller's words after they finally cut him off. It also surprised me that they still have not apologized, much less responded to my email. Clearly they could not have known that I have received rape threats (often) in the past, so they would not know that I would be sensitive to this kind of language. That said, it is common decency to respond after allowing such a foul person to speak publicly for long enough to say so many terrible and inappropriate things. Although I believe that this is hate speech (or, to be clear, experienced it as such), I'm not concerned with having anyone arrested for a crime. Rather, I simply sought a promise that the City will take efforts to ensure that this does not happen again. (An apology would have been nice too.) A friend of mine did receive a response from a city council member, who "explained" that the Council could not respond to the call because it would be "out of turn." That is untrue. First, Mayor Burt *did* speak out of turn by directly responding to a remark I made, which is theoretically against those same rules. Second, it would not be out of turn to remind the public that this kind of language is unacceptable and not tolerated at meetings. Calling attention to a breach of a rule is NOT speaking out of turn -- it is explicitly required in this kind of situation. And, again, saying something to me would have been common human decency. I can promise that had I been in their situation, I would have said something. The email I sent last night is below. B L_ _______ _ The video including the anonymous caller is still on the Internet for all to see and hear, and can be located here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hK6lESpXH2s The caller is at approximately 6:15 (on the video when looking at how much time has passed) and he speaks for approx 15-20 seconds. I don't know why they didn't vet the caller before letting him speak. Mayor Burt called attention to the fact that using the name "Council Member" looked suspicious right before I spoke, at 6:12:40. I attached a file of just the caller, and hopefully you can see the entire context at the link above. To me the worst part was hearing Mayor Burt go out of his way to "correct" me on something I said that he disagreed with, but didn't correct the caller who called me a f-ing b-ch. I will assume he didn't hear the caller .... but didn't see my email? Or hear from anyone else? Thank you again, sincerely, for taking the time to listen, and demonstrating true concern. I cannot tell you how grateful I am for that.

This belligerent, hostile, aggressive speaker demonstrated clear bias against black people, using the N- word more than once (including putting F-ing in front of it), and also said F-You to me directly, stating my name in full. You allowed this man to speak long enough to make these statements heard before finally cutting him off. What is your system for responding to this kind of intolerable behavior? Is pretending it did not happen - which is what you did - your official policy? As you know, hate speech and profanity -- especially profanity used in a hostile personal attack (I am not a public figure) -- is not protected by the First Amendment and is in violation of local and state law. Will PAPD Police Chief Jonsen be investigating the caller? Additionally, given my criticism of his job performance (which is my legal right, and I used 100% acceptable language) can Mr. Jonsen guarantee that the caller was not one of the 59 (white) members of his own police force (or himself personally)? And can he or John Schenk guarantee that the caller was associated with John Schenk and/or Thoits, whom I also criticized? (To clarify my comment about John Schenk that he does not enjoy/suffer "community member" standing pursuant to the Brown Act, I stand by that remark on the grounds that (1) The City of Palo Alto enabled Schenk to actively conceal his role as a landlord (rather than as a small business owner); and (2) The COPA gave Schenk more power to speak than actual "community members." It is your behavior -- treating him differently than the community -- that changed his status, including your giving him panelist/speaker status and enabling him to misrepresent his role. While Molly Stump can and will disagree, that does not mean that she or you will win a lawsuit on this matter. (As a reminder, Stump loses most lawsuits, which likely is why she fears them so much.) In conclusion, what will be the City's response to tonight's outbreak of racist and misogyny? Or will it not respond at all? Sincerely, Rebecca Eisenberg Rebecca Eisenberg, Esq.

Over the next 10 years, the transit operator expects an enduring downturn of nearly a third of passenger trips, according to projections which will be presented at a BART board meeting on Thursday. This is up from a long-term loss of 20% of riders that the embattled agency was already projecting due to a pandemic that continues to upended public transit across the Bay Area. The ridership loss is so severe that in its most likely scenario BART expects ridership to remain below the 400,000 daily trips the system sustained prior to the pandemic for the next decade.

(Provided by Bay Area Rapid Transit) Laura Tolkoff, a transportation policy director for the urban planning think tank SPUR, said the new projections show the pandemic's continuing impact on public transportation as offices remain nearly empty in San Francisco and many people avoid transit out of health concerns. She said the latest highly contagious variant that spreads even among vaccinated people "has definitely led to lower ridership assumptions." Nearly two years after the start of coronavirus lockdowns, public transit across the Bay Area is still struggling to claw back ridership even as bridge traffic congestion approaches pre-pandemic levels. BART trains, which were once packed with daily commuters, carry less than 30% of pre-pandemic passenger trips -a recovery rate far behind BART's peers in New York, Chicago, and Atlanta . With the loss in passenger fare revenue, BART is projecting an up to $2.2 billion cumulative deficit over the next decade. The agency has an expected 28-month runway before it burns through $600 million in remaining federal relief money that is currently keeping the trains running. Rebecca Saltzman, the BART board president, said it's hard to predict BART's financial future past a couple of years, but the new outlook means the board needs to "plan for the worst scenario." "Ultimately we're gonna have hundreds of thousands of people depending on BART every day-it's still going to be important to put out a robust service, even if it's fewer than we thought," she said . Now the agency is looking for some combination of regional tax hikes, state-level funds, and federal dollars to keep the trains running.

I'm really delighted to communicate with you and I believe we can achieve everything together and create something great in nearest future. My name is Ms. Maryam AlKhaled Yassin Sameer. and I'm a young girl of 24 year old from Kobani a city in the Aleppo Governorate in Northern Syria and presently, I'm residing in the Republic of Burkina Faso as a refugee due to killing of my parents by the ISIS fighters on the year 2015 popularly know as "Kobani Massacre" that was carried out by the Daesh/ISIS fighters. Please don't be discouraged for hearing this. I believe deep down inside me that you will never break my heart or let me down in anyway. My beloved father(Mr. AlKhaled Yassin Sameer ) was the Mayor of the city of Kobani and also the Head of Aleppo Investment Authority. The brutal killing of my father took place one early morning by the Daesh/ISIS fighters as a result of the ongoing civil war in Syria. I was in my first year in the University of Aleppo studying Arts and Humanities before the sad incident and that led to the death of my beloved father. Darling, I know that it is too early to disclose my life story to you but please bear with me. My living condition is very critical, please I need your possible help to reclaim my inheritance and start a new life. My uncle have sought to kill me so that he will have full control of my father's estate but I am happy that all his evil failed. Meanwhile, I decided to travel abroad in order to secure my future but the problem is that since I don't have an international passport, I cannot be allowed to enter any Country freely and legally. However, the only choice for me was to enter Turkey, because it is not far from Kobani and many people are crossing to Turkey so I joined them and crossed over to Turkey. It was in my presence that the Turkish soldiers gunned down Kader Ortakaya a famous woman activist at the Turkey and Syria border. A lot happened during this conflict, it was awful, I only thank God that I'm alive today. I arrived to Burkina Faso through the help of International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement, they were moving people away from the Turkish border because of the insecurity of the border, so they moved some people to Canada, some to Germany and Italy and few to Morocco and Burkina Faso. I decided to come to Burkina Faso, because when my beloved father was alive, he revealed to me about the sum of $27.5 Million which he deposited in one of the Banks in Burkina Faso with my name as his next of kin. On my arrival to Ouagadougou, where the Bank is located, I contacted them to clear the money, but the Branch operation Manager who confirmed the deposited amount of money told me that my status as a refugee according to the Laws of Burkina Faso does not permit me to engage in any Bank transaction. He advised me to nominate a trustee who will stand on my behalf and carry out the operation. This has become necessary after I have been denied the right to own a Bank account or perform other forms of financial transaction here because I am a political asylum seeker. So, I decided to get in touch with you so that you will help me with the transfer of this money into your Bank account for investment in your Country. After you have received the money in your Bank account, you will send me some amount of money to process my traveling papers because I want to relocate to your Country where I will start a new life with you. And I intend to complete my academic studies in your Country. I accept to share my life with you and give you all my attention from day one of the meetings. Immediately you confirm your interest to help me, then I will give you more details as to how we shall conclude this transaction. Please do let me know if you are interested in helping me with the transfer of the money into your bank account for possible investment in your Country so that I will send you more details on how you will stand as my trustee and finalize the transaction with the Bank where my dad deposited the money. I beg you please to keep this as a top secret between us for confidential reasons. At the moment I am living in the Mission House. Life in this place is very unbearable because we are not allowed to go out and we are monitored by the Church security guard. Please help me because I want to leave this place quickly to live my normal with you. Reply me on my email address (maryam.alkhaled189@gmail.com) I look forward to hearing from you soon.

The Palo Alto Weekly "City View" published February 4, 2022shows Council Member Stone as Recused.

Recently, the Minutes item has been shown on Council agendas aspart of the Consent Calendar instead of as a separate Minutescategory on the agenda. The Consent Calendar contains items that are adopted withoutdiscussion, while a majority vote of the Council is needed toremove an item from the Consent Calendar, but the Palo AltoMunicipal Code indicates that the Minutes agenda item is theappropriate place to make corrections to the draft minutes.

Deer on Staten Island infected with Covid- from humans To: Loran Harding <loran.harding@stanfordalumni.org> Friday, February 11, 2022 To all- Here is Dr. John Campbell in Carlisle, England discussing a report of deer on Staten Island, New York being infected with the Omicron virus. They have done the sequencing and the deer have the human Omicron virus. How'd they get it? Probably people getting close to them and feeding them. The people are infected with Omicron, are exhaling the virus, and the deer breath it in. Potential significance? The virus could, could mutate in the deer, become more pathogenic, and then jump species again and infect humans. They think that a different virus, the AIDS virus, originated in the green monkey in Africa. It jumped species to humans and that was the start of the AIDS epidemic. How? Somebody butchered an infected monkey. The hunter had a cut on his hand or arm. Blood from the monkey got into his blood stream. He was now infected with the AIDS virus and from him, it spread to millions of humans. I seem to recall that that initial infection from a green monkey may have taken place in the 50s. Omicron spreading between animals - YouTube LH- Note- After writing the above, I find an article confirming that AIDS originated in monkeys, not chimps. Chimps eat monkeys and humans eat chimps- bush meat. That last step, butchering a chimp, is how the virus got into humans, they think. The first time the AIDS virus was found in a human's blood was in a man in Kensasha, Zaire in 1958. They think that the virus evolved in Africa the 1920s but the big increase in human populations in the 20th c. allowed it to take off. Here are good articles about how viruses jump species into humans, well worth reading: The exotic animal trade, wet markets in China, we open a Pandora's box when we do all of that, the second article says: HIV Originated With Monkeys, Not Chimps, Study Finds (nationalgeographic.com) Where Did HIV Come From? A Look at the Origins of the Pandemic of Our Time - EcoHealth Alliance In 1987, I was using the Stanford libraries to prepare for the CPA exam. Passed CPA exam November, 1987. Stanford alumni got an annual library pass to Stanford's 20 libraries for $100. I saw a notice that an epidemiolgist from Johns Hopkins would discuss his work on AIDS at an auditorium at Stanford Med Center, and I went. He said that he did research at a 3,000 bed hospital in Kensasha, Zaire just over-flowing with AIDS pts. He talked for nearly 2 hours as I recall and put on a big slide show. He showed big color slides of he genital infections folks there get, providing a perfect pathway for the AIDS virus. He said "We're up to 30,000 cases already and predicted that by 1992 the US would have 250,000 AIDS cases. I noticed when 1992 came around, we had very close to that number of cases. But if that lecture didn't scare you straight, nothing ever would. In July,1992 I moved from Hayward, Ca. to Guadalajara, Mexico, driving there in my fully-loaded 1985 Fiero. Stops for the night were Grass Valley, Ca., Elko, Nev., Rock Springs, Wyo., Ft. Collins, Colo., Albuquerque, NM, Ozona,Tex., Laredo, Tex., Saltillo, Mex., two nights in Zacatecas, Mex., and Guadalajara. Quite a hike. It is all desert from Laredo down to Zacatecas, and then it is all jungle (jungla) from there to Guadalajara. You drive further on US highways to drive less on Mexican highways. A shorter route would be Hayward to the Calif- Mexican border and then down through Sinaloa, Mexico, but Sinaloa is famed for violent drug traffic and people like to avoid it. No disrespect to the people of Sinaloa. Several States are lifting, modfying mask requirements. California will not require masks in indoor settings starting next Wednesday, February 15, 2022. I think State officials said that will be OK PROVIDED the people who do not wear a mask have been fully vaccinated. Last night KCBS 740 AM SF interviewed a big gun experts in viruses. They said "are you going to continue to wear a mask in public indoor settings"? He said he sure was! Then they asked him how confident we can be that those not wearing a mask have been fully vaccinated. He said not very confident at all !!!!!!!!! In other words, the new rule is a total joke if people are on the "honor system" That is like the State saying you can leave your keys in the ignition from now on and nobody in California will steal your car. Wallensky was on the network news last night saying it is a little too soon to lift mask and other protective measures. This morning, KCBS interviewed the prime minister (?) of Denmark where ALL Covid restrictions are being lifted. They asked her if everybody should do that now, the US, e.g. She replied "Of course not!" Most Danes are fully vaccinated and, with their excellent HC system, far fewer Danes have the horrible, often undiagnosed and untreated co-morbidities that we in the US, with our fragmented, for-profit HC system, have. The US is not Denmark, so we cannot follow what they are doing, but a bunch of States seem to be following them. This morning KCBS interviewed a female virologist (?) or o. big gun expert at USC or UCLA. She didn't think much of California lifting the mask requirement for public indoor spaces. She said if you are going to wear a mask, make it a good one, like N95. The second variant of Omicron, BA.2, is even more transmissble than original Omicron. L. William Harding Fresno, Ca.

Dear Members of the Palo Alto City Council and City Clerk’s staff; On this past December 10th I sent an email requesting Council’s help in resolving a dispute between me and the City Attorney’s Office over a rejected claim for damages. On December 16th that email, with attachments, was resent to the City Clerk’s Office by Danille Rice of the City Manager’s Office asking on my behalf when I might expect a response on the matter. It is now over two months since I sent the original email, and I have yet to hear anything back from anyone at City Hall. I realize that my original email with all of its attachments – included again here for completeness, appended to Ms. Rice’s December 16th query – might not have been the best way to broach the matter and possibly discouraged or delayed Council’s taking it up. So, I will state the essence of it here. I believe that: The City (via the roots of its street tree) bears responsibility for damage to my property (main water distribution line) and, therefore, its repair Regardless of the above point, the City (by its inexplicable placement of the street tree immediately adjacent to the water meter for our home, or vice versa) bears responsibility for the cost of the abovementioned repair being much (thousands of dollars) greater than it otherwise should or would have been and, therefore, for that incremental cost Furthermore, I believe that the City Attorney’s Office acted in bad faith regarding investigation of my claim, issuance of the rejection of said claim, and responding to my request for explanation of that rejection. I believe this because: The explanation is incomplete, wholly insufficient, and it addresses neither of the above points included in the claim The initial rejection of the August 27, 2021 claim, dated October 26th, contained no explanation whatsoever. It did, however, issue me a “WARNING” (all-cap bold type and underline included, centered on the page) that I had “only six (6) months from the date [of] this notice . . . to file a court action” and that “. . . the City [would] seek to recover all costs of defense [if] an action is filed . . .” The explanation was only issued, on November 24th, after I requested it on November 1st and contacted the City Attorney’s Office several times after that to follow up • • • • • I was never contacted by the City Attorney’s Office during the course of the “investigation” to seek clarification of my claim Finally, I believe this is a matter for the City (specifically the City Council, which represents me and presides over the City Attorney) and not our beleaguered court system to resolve. I do not dispute that the regulatory language cited by the City Attorney’s Office in its November 24th explanation establishes the water line in question as my property as well as my responsibility to maintain it. I do dispute that the cited language in any way absolves the City, its agencies or property (including trees) from responsibility for damage it causes to my property. If the City can cite additional statutory or case law saying it does, I ask that it please do so. Otherwise, it should be willing to accept that responsibility. In either case, I do not ask for special treatment. I simply ask not to be mistreated or ignored, which I’m sad to say I feel has been the case thus far. I hope and trust that I will hear from you soon.

Hi, I'm a resident of Southgate and want you to know that I totally support leaving CA avenue as a pedestrian mall. It is a delight to use this space on a nearly weekly basis. The lack of cars changes the entire demeanor of this area, it is slower, more leisurely to have coffee, etc. This extends PA's reputation as a pedestrian/bike friend city. I do want to support merchants as well and that is important. For the destination merchants, I suspect the closure is not an issue given all the new parking that is available. For Molly Stones, it may be an issue, but there are many ways to get to Molly Stones without going down Cal avenue. Most modern maps compensate for street closures. Please keep CA ave pedestrian only.

Honorable City Council Members, I send this to you all, as I’d like you to read what some of your colleagues have seen via the Utilities Advisory Committee. Thanks for taking these proposals under consideration. Lawrence Garwin Palo Alto From: Lawrence Garwin <lawrencegarwin@yahoo.com> Date: February 4, 2022 at 4:46:18 PM PST To: UACPublicMeetings@cityofpaloalto.org, Dean.Batchelor@cityofpaloalto.org, uac@cityofpaloalto.org Subject: Re: Grid Modernization discussed at Wednesday’s UAC Meeting (Please forward to Alison Cormack and Tomm Marshall, as I was not able to find their email addresses through the Palo Alto website. Thank you.) Honorable Utilities Advisory Commission Members, Council Liaison Alison Cormack, Utilities Director Dean Batchelor, and Assistant Director Tomm Marshall, I had hoped to share some more comments during Wednesday February 2nd’s Utilities Advisory Commission meeting, but despite having my virtual Zoom hand up for some time, the meeting went to break without me being called upon. I was disappointed, as family responsibilities prevented me from attending the rest of the meeting. Therefore I take this opportunity to suggest we consider an alternative way to move forward with Palo Alto’s building and transportation electrification with substantially reduced grid modernization costs. Imagine that most people who live in Palo Alto who have electric vehicles (EVs) are able to plug them in to charge slowly throughout the day, when surplus renewable energy is usually available on the grid. For many, this would be at work. There, EVs would be plugged into normal 120 VAC outlets for the most part, but those with longer commutes would plug into 240 VAC outlets or Level 2 chargers. The target would be for the EVs to be driven home with an 80%+ charge. These cars are then plugged into residences via bidirectional chargers, with the mostly full batteries covering the evening loads associated with people returning home that currently tax the electrical grid and often require gas turbine peaker plants to operate. The EVs, if needed, charge slowly overnight at whatever is the best time and rate to use the grid’s surplus renewable energy, with the target of having enough charge by morning for the commute to work, where the cycle starts once again. With the evening peak grid loads flattened via bidirectional chargers and EVs, many more of which we can safely expect in the coming years, especially given that by 2035, all new cars and passenger trucks sold in California will be required to be zero-emission vehicles, I believe that Palo Alto’s grid modernization costs to cover building and vehicle electrification can be substantially reduced by adopting this slow daytime and bidirectional evening charging of EVs. If some aspect of this approach is unworkable, I ask that all of the involved parties maintain open minds and a willingness to brainstorm, develop, and explore solutions radically different than what have been employed in the past. We have amazing technologies and resources at our disposal that did not exist a few years ago; if we embrace them, perhaps we can inexpensively, and with a minimum of unneeded natural resource use, reach our climate goals and be good stewards for our descendants. Thank you in advance for your enthusiastic and in-depth consideration of this proposal, and any others that may come before you, to move us forward to full electrification of our energy- related needs. I look forward to your questions and thoughts on this proposal and would be happy to help in whatever way I can in developing innovative solutions to our climate issues. (A different, yet related, pre-meeting proposal is reprinted below.) Lawrence Garwin Community Center Palo Alto, California On Feb 2, 2022, at 12:28 PM, Lawrence Garwin wrote: Honorable Utilities Advisory Commission Members, It’s imperative for Palo Alto to implement and incentivize the use of electric vehicle (EV) bidirectional charging and demand/response load shedding to remove fossil fuels from our electricity supply. Whereas traditional utilities might prefer stationary battery storage, because most battery manufacturing is currently focused on EVs, there are battery raw material constraints, EVs sit unused 90+% of the time, and some studies show EV batteries plugged in most of the time to provide grid services actually degrade less than ones charged occasionally on an as-needed basis, EV based grid storage is the clear choice to decarbonize our electricity supply. As well, recent developments in electrolyte additives (partially funded by Tesla) have yielded lithium ion batteries with a 4 to 8 times increase in battery cycle life, depending on temperature. This promises an EV battery pack useful for a million miles and perhaps a century, which is well over the 20+ years generally required for investing in grid infrastructure for storage applications (in this case, bidirectional chargers, communications systems, City fleet vehicles, and incentives for residents and commuters to plug in their own vehicles). In 2021 the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) updated their Combined Charging System (CCS) Direct Current Fast Charging (DCFC) protocols to allow bidirectional charging. This was the last piece needed for wide scale adoption of Vehicle to Grid (V2G) and demand/response EV charging in the US. The Interstate Renewable Energy Council (IREC) has published Paving the Way: Vehicle-to-Grid Standards for Electric Vehicles, https://irecusa.org/resources/paving-the-way-vehicle-to-grid-standards-for-electric-vehicles/ which describes how municipalities, public utilities commissions, and manufacturers now have all the standards necessary to implement Vehicle to Grid (V2G) and demand/response EV charging in the US. I ask that Palo Alto Utilities engage with the Palo Alto city Council and other City departments to immediately review this document and swiftly implement and incentivize Vehicle to Grid (V2G) and demand/response EV charging in Palo Alto. Thank you for giving this issue the priority and immediate attention it deserves.

Mary Holzer What exactly are you talking about with “go green homes”? Replacing gas stoves, HVAC, water heaters etc. and/or installing solar panels, batteries, etc? I already have solar installed on my roof, so batteries will need investigation. The cost to replace the gas-powered items - HVAC and stovetop - in my house appears to be astronomical. Not just for the cost of the expensive replacement, but for the work it will take to put it in place. And I didn’t even investigate a heat pump hot water heater. Is there a cap on this? And you need to be clear about the long-term costs to the environment/the world of encouraging solar installments and installing batteries etc. Obtaining the raw materials for these items is not without damage to countries and people where the mining and production is done. That information should be available to anyone who is interested in investigating your programs. Finally, I hope your program is in full support of keeping the Diablo Canyon Nuclear plant open. Replacing the clean electrical energy it produces with coal-fired energy sold to CA by Warren Buffet is NOT a viable solution. In fact, CA should be investigating adding additional nuclear plants to our energy sources.

Hello This is Richard again and in case you were wondering about Cal Ave Thriving…… it is not. It’s dead and businesses are struggling. The people that want this street closed don’t come down here but on Friday nights and Sundays otherwise it’s a ghost town down on Cal Ave. And I don’t think you seem to understand the urgency. We’re going to lose more businesses and no new businesses are coming. 20% of businesses on Cal Ave have left or been kicked out. I will keep sending photos of our dead street so you understand. The restaurants are busy on Friday night and that’s it. Every other night they do one seating and they are mildly busy from 6pm to 8pm and that’s it. Barely anyone is open for lunch. It’s really bad I don’t know how you don’t see that. But oh well, we’ll keep fighting to save our business which is down a tremendous amount mainly because people can’t see our store because of the street closure. Before we lose more businesses please open the street.

Court docs didn't revealed Dennis Rocha as the godfather to Diva Lee aka Dilma Coleman. To: <BolanosforSheriff@gmail.com> What is happening now? The court docs for Scott Peterson's defense or Laci's defense should reveal Diva Lee MD to JD aka Dilma Coleman. The court docs didn't reveal the truth since Dec24,2002 disappearance of Laci Rocha Peterson until the death of Judge Alfred Delucci. If Diva Lee aka Dilma Coleman had attended every courtcase whereas Judge Alfred Delucci was the presiding Judge..where are the court docs? What really happened to the key witness? Diva Lee MD JD aka Dilma Coleman says that she was victimtimized with melatonin administered to her by Jewish Psychatrist Karen Kempter and other drugs were forced into Dilma Coleman whereas she was victimtimized in the court as a sleepy guest then the baliff escorted her outside the courthouse whereas other victimtimized her with biting dogs, live biting red lobsters and live biting thirsty crabs that was dumped on her. Outside the courthouse Diva Lee aka Dilma Coleman was runners over by a car..the driver an organized habitual vigilantes canvassing their premeditated attacks to gain access to injury compensation generated from insurance claims that were filed for the victim. That behavior charectoristics has been on repeat for whatever reason..it has repeated during the Trump Administration cabinet fundraising campaign in Santa Clara county and in San Mateo county. Now in February 2022 since there has been a disappearance of Laci's family members a loss of Laci's father Dennis Rocha. Its similar appearances to Scott Peterson's family members who have passed away. Scott Peterson's mother deceased. Laci's father Dennis Rocha deceased when Dennis Rocha is the godfather of Diva Lee MD JD aka Dilma Coleman. Does Judge Anne-Christine Massulllo need to eliminate Richelle Nice as a juror based on the research of Stanislaus county District Attorney Brigit Fladager? Yes. Why? Richelle Nice has Conflicted stories whereas Richelle Nice has provided information about the case as a false witness biased and gaslighting the facts that has hidden charector analysis of Qatari businessman Wissam Al Mana who dated Amber Frey. Wissam Al Mana chased Amber Frey because she was supposed to be revealed as his girlfriend companion working in his retail stores. Jewish Homosexual lawyer Harvey Levine decorates Amber Frey as a future author of a book that's with gaslighting techniques sorcerer's spells defamation of her real with Scott Peterson. Scott Peterson dated Amber Frey long time ago and it had ended. Yet Wissam Al Mana's jealous retailiated nature Targeted Scott Peterson because Wissam Al Mana had set up in his head thru his heart that Amber Frey was his women. Scott Peterson had a good business ventures whereas it was completely revealed that Laci Peterson and Scott Peterson had plans for a restaurant. What's happening now? Wissam Al Mana possibly blongeoned Scott Peterson whereas Amber Frey administered drugs to Scott Peterson..Wissam Al Mana who laid on the floor behind Scott Peterson was out cold. That's what led to the women and a few filipinos to administered drugs onto Laci Peterson and they dumped Laci's body. It was completely revealed by the jewish homosexuals lawyer Harvey Levine that Amber Frey was a mistress. That's how Jewish Homosexual lawyer Harvey Levine made an extra income to build up income thru his ultimatums..to organize his celebrity gossip tv show TMZ. In the year 2000+(years after)Richelle Nice, Amber Frey and Lucinda Southworth,Amanda O'Donnell (Mindy Shanahan) were in competition for attention from Wissam Al Mana's luxury items,cash and relationship with Wissam Al Mana. Mostly Wissam Al Mana always likes women to work in his retail stores and he gives them luxury items in exchange for sex..or some type of bartering systems whereas they have plenty in abundance to sell to their friends or develop a mini online store or something like a neighborhood mini garage sale. Wissam Al Mana always attracts greedy women who have the most dangerous narcissistic behaviors especially sadistic Personality disorders. Scott Peterson had romantic marriage with Laci Peterson yet it's a madlibs description for the key word "Mistress" to apply to Scott Peterson whereas Scott Peterson was not interested in dating Amber Frey. It was Jewish Homosexual lawyer Harvey Levine who decorates Amber Frey with the word Mistress because it was completely revealed that Wissam Al Mana had violent racketeering jealousy temper on Scott Peterson with his assumptions that Amber Frey wanted Scott's attention whereas Qatari businessman Wissam Al Mana had spent hours on it spending his wealth to create his fantasy entourage yet those women abused financially Wissam Al Mana making his own Habitual behaviors create his delusional manic depressive state of mind controlling games whereas Wissam Al Mana targeted trapped Scott Peterson and Laci Peterson in their home whereas Scott Peterson was trapped tackled by Wissam Al Mana because Amber Frey was told to chase after Scott Peterson.

Jewish Homosexual male Attorney Harvey Levine wanted to make a documentary of Scott Peterson and Laci Peterson because he was doing hate on Catholic girls..and their husbands. Scott Peterson never murdered Laci Peterson. After Scott Peterson had a haircut at Laci's sister's Amy salon salon the couple was stalked by an entourage of individuals who had drug addictions whereas they were going to do home invasions in the area to steal xxmas gifts etc. Jewish Homosexual Attorney Harvey Levine decorates the charector Amber Frey supported by Jewish Psychatrist Karen Kempter, Jewish Attorney Gloria Allred,Jewish Attorney Mark Geregos plus Attorney Pat Harris and their friend Stanislaus county District Attorney Brigit Fladager. What led for the jews to have so much hate on Catholic girls like Laci Rocha? Laci Rocha was a creative designer for music artists who had created a resume with their her dad Dennis Rocha to have their music dance and artistry performed at the Rodeos and at that reference Dennis Rocha gave them was supportive to their career in different geographic venues and established a professional reference for insurance policy whereas that's what was required for bigger venues. What Dennis Rocha and Laci Rocha provided for certain music artists made them a target for those individuals who were in the competitive market..what actually happened was a bunch of Jewish people targeted trapped the artists in humantraffing labor trafficking whereas Dennis Rocha and Laci Peterson had the key to their established careers not to be trapped in humantraffing. Who were the individuals racketeering songwriters and singers? Santa Clara Sheriffs Laurie Smith, California Governor Jerry Brown, Hunter Biden, and various jewish lawyers and jewish synagogue leaders and their congregation. Who was victimtimized during the racketeering stuff,sex slavery lifestyle, humantraffing and labor trafficking? Diva Lee MD JD aka Dilma Coleman plus her children and their friends. What happened to those individuals who had depended on the Protective services for the venues that protects music artists from being victimtimized against Jewish Mobsters? The music artists were targeted trapped forced into intentional drug overdoses..whereas it's over there it's over there on it whereas they were destroyed. Scott Peterson had the worst defense whereas the defense attorney Mark Geregos plus Attorney Pat Harris are guilty of racketeering styles of it especially when the attorney Pat Harris has not Developed any new evidence which gives Scott Peterson the appearance of being innocent whereas his application for Haebus Corpus is granted for exoneration. What needs to happen for Scott Peterson is for his attorney Pat Harris to have malfeasance report that application for a suspended bar association number based on the key phrases "Momma said knock you out. " I'm gonna knock you out" Momma said knock you out" translation: lock out Pat Harris's & Mark Geregos's bar association number based on their skills of defense whereas he/they refuses to admit evidence from Diva Lee MD JD aka Dilma Coleman whereas she has been fully trapped at every courtcase that was presided by Judge Alfred Delucci until Delucci died whereas Paul Delucci also could apply for the appropriate charges for Malfeasance. What did Mark Geregos do? Mark Geregos is a false witness to the Scott Peterson case because he had know that Qatari businessman Wissam Al Mana had dated Lucinda Southworth in the years up until Lucinda Southworth married CEO Google Larry Page. Lucinda Southworth had congregated women similar to her appearances to become the mistress of Qatari businessman Wissam Al Mana when Wissam Al Mana was married to Diva Lee aka Dilma Coleman.

Harvey Levine decorates Amber Frey to be a author of a book whereas Harvey Levine didn't want Amber Frey to be revealed as a women affiliated with Qatari businessman Wissam Al Mana. Attachment#4 Scott Peterson was trapped held hostage on it over there in Modesto Stanislaus county District Attorney Brigit Fladager gaslighting techniques on it over there and it's obvious that it's all about Wissam Al Mana's sadistic Personality disorders. Attachment#5 All Birgit Fladager has to do is admit that she had been a fling for it ...yeah Birgit Fladager Stanislaus county District Attorney is a gaslighters and for whatever reason it's on repeat for Richelle Nice to be revealed as a juror in the case of Scott Peterson whereas Richelle Nice had tried to become the wife to Qatari businessman Wissam Al Mana yet she had been trapped by the Lucinda Southworth's relatives and women that Wissam Al Mana is attracted to the most.

From The Desk Of Ms Fatoumata Ndiaye UNITED NATIONS (UN) OFFICE OF INTERNAL OVERSIGHT SERVICES Internal Audit, Monitoring, Consulting, and Investigations Dear Sir/Ma This is to inform you that I came to Nigeria yesterday from London, after a series of complaints from the FBI, Interpol, and other Security agencies in Asia, Europe, Oceania, Antarctica, South America, and the United States of America respectively, against the Federal Government of Nigeria and the British Government for the rate of scam activities going on in these two nations. From my findings here, I decided to speak with Dr Ngozi Okongo Iwuala, the former finance minister of Nigeria under the former president. Dr Goodluck Jonathan and the current DG of the world trade center to know why your contract fund was not paid during her time as the minister of finance, she affirmed that she was aware of your unpaid contract fund but when it got to her table her tenure was almost up and that was why she didn't see it through. Right now, as directed by the secretary-general António Guterres, We are working in synergy with the Nigerian Economic and Financial Crime Commission (EFCC) and have decided to give you a “REBATE” to all your clearance Charges and authorize the Government of Nigeria to effect the payment of your fund as approved by the United Nations (UN) into your account without further delay. The only fee you will pay to confirm your fund in your account is your Court Notarization Affidavit fee to the UN envoy Nigeria. Sincerely, you are a lucky person because I have just discovered that some top Nigerian Government Officials are interested in your fund and they are working in collaboration with One Mr Ben S. Bernanke and others from the USA to frustrate you and thereafter divert your fund into their account. This is the reason I called Dr Ngozi Okonjo Iwuala for clarifications because based on her pedigrees, she is the only one I can trust based on the prevailing circumstances. I have a very limited time to stay here in Nigeria and I would like you to urgently respond to this message so that I can advise you on how best to confirm your funds in your account within the next 72 hours to circumvent your funds going to the wrong people.

While their presence is unsightly, the bigger issue is the residence depend on ventilating our properties as we don’t have central air/heat. Thus, we are already suffocated by the particles and dust from construction. If that’s not bad enough for our health, the present whiff on bodily excrements is insult to injury. Moreover, the portable potties were moved a mere 15 feet, and not closer to a non-residential area of the construction site (I.e. residential is west and east of the construction site). While I’m still looking into legal options for a lawsuit regarding overall health, quality of life and noise issues, we would all appreciate it if they moved the toilets to the actual work HQ near the construction engineers’ trailer.

Be cautious of opening attachments and clicking on links.________________________________ i was biking to the post office around 11:40 am this morning and heard chain saws. i followed the sound to the post office, where a guy was roped up in the 33 inch diameter Oak, cutting big branches, clearly not a trim. 4-5 others on the ground were dragging the cut branches to a chipper. i ran over to ask what they were doing, and interfered enough that they stopped cutting. I called peter Gollinger, and he arrived within 5 minutes, and he started looking at the paperwork, which called for 4 trees to be cut - the dead alder, the oak, and 2 other trees. But Urban Forestry had not signed the tree removal permit - it was signed by Amy French from planning, clearly a procedural error. Although the tree is somewhat disfigured now, i believe it should be allowed to live, and hopefully some lessons can be learned about respecting our Protected Oaks. rob levitsky Sent from my iPhone From:Colin Jay Subject:Re: Project Details.

Be cautious of opening attachments and clicking on links. ________________________________ Ms. Eisenberg might be correct when she asserted during the public hearing that Mr. Shenk, the CEO of Thoits brothers Real estate company, might not have the standing under the Brown Act to speak at a public hearing as would Jessica Roth, a resident and small business owner. Further it seem to be that he was in a technical or virtual sense seated on the dais next to our mayor Pat Burt. It seems that during the meeting Pat instructed the acting city clerk to mute or unmute Mr. Shenk as if he had the same status as the six councilmembers. This was apropos of a discussion about the streets being opened or closed. Whether it is true or not there is definitely the appearance that real estate cartels and some of them are multi generational enjoy more power and status than the actual citizens of Palo Alto. And that in a very related dynamic was the subject of a grand jury report.

We have waited too long for PAUSD to make a decision on acommunity center and all the City has gotten in contracts with PAUSD are five year leases (since 1989)It's time to move on! A new wild card is a proposed $25M gift by a philanthropist for City gym. Perhaps that gift could go to PAUSD for the 7 acres at Cubberley they are proposing to give up (or exchange)The City needs a community center for all residents including the non-profits All the buildings at Cubberley are in disrepair and with lots of liabilities There are plenty of gyms throughout Palo Alto.(The City does not need their own) Thanks for hearing me out.

Dear Honorable Mayor and Council Members, This will probably be my last update to you about Foothill-De Anza Community College District's move to trustee area elections. Thank you for your patience on the receiving end! On Feb. 14, the Board of Trustees will consider adopting Draft Map A, which would establish the boundary lines for five trustee areas. Voters in each area will elect a resident from their area to serve on the board starting this year. Until now, trustees have been elected districtwide, chosen by voters across six cities and parts of several others. Impact on 2022 Elections Trustees also will determine on Feb. 14 which two trustee areas of the five will elect representatives for the first time in November 2022. The other three areas will start the new system in 2024. This change has implications for the current trustees. Draft Map A Draft Map A follows city boundaries as closely as possible. However, to meet certain requirements including having a roughly equal population size among trustee areas, some cities are divided between two or more trustee areas. That would be the case with any of the draft maps that the board has considered. You may view Draft Map A and other maps that were considered at: https://www.fhda.edu/trustee-areas/A-DraftMaps.html How to Comment Trustees invite your comments in preparation for their Feb. 14 vote: You may email your thoughts to TrusteeAreas@fhda.edu You may speak at the meeting, which is being held in person in the board room at the district offices at Foothill College. Information about the meeting time and • • location is available at https://www.fhda.edu/trustee- areas/Timeline_Meetings.html Thank you so much for your interest (and patience!) in this process. New Topic: What's New at Foothill-De Anza – Join Our Feb. 23 Town Hall We'd love to have you join the conversation about the current state of the district with Chancellor Judy C. Miner, acting Foothill College President Bernadine Chuck Fong, and De Anza College President Lloyd Holmes at a virtual Town Hall sponsored by the Foothill- De Anza Foundation.

There would have been no issue about getting paid if out sick with something like Covid, up to a reasonable time. A month or two would have been no issue. I suppose at some point they would have started asking for confirmation from doctors. I never put it to the test. I missed 6 days of work in my first 7 years with GM. One good bout of the flu could knock a person out for 6 work days. I had the flu around 2003 here in Fresno and WOW! Felt like a cube of lead in the middle of my brain. I havn't missed a flu shot since. This new bill seems tame to me. Lots of EEs have been hospitalized or at least sidelined with Covid for a lot longer than two weeks!! I suppose the two week pay requirement in this new law articulates with the rule that people who test positive for Covid have been required to self-isolate for two weeks.

I DO believe there is a category of crime we don't discuss enough: police crime. And I DO believe self indemnification is one of many steps that should be considered. I also commend to your consideration the Oakland School Board meeting tonight at 6 p.m. Pacific Time. There are thousands of people registered to attend online. It's a serious, mostly ignored issue. And it's not just going on in major cities as the report on today's Democracy NOW! show tells us. The shrinking of Black and brown students' schools and growth of charter schools is going on in East Palo Alto. AND Oakland. Inequity and decisions that divert resources from institutions of color is not new and not an elsewhere problem. It's right here in Silicon City. C.

Is there any chance the PACC will consider the category of police crime and discuss efforts to deal with/decrease this unnecessary category. The police-- specifically employed to REDUCE, respond to, and help solve crime-- commit a whole bunch of it. Shouldn't we begin there? Employing criminals? Paying them while they commit crimes and lie about it? How about self-indemnification at the very least? Isn't the gun, club, taser, and handcuffs enough of an arsenal? Must we also give them carte blanche, police immunity, and continued encouragement to assault peaceful residents? I think requiring them to take out an insurance policy to cover the cost of their crimes in NOT too much to ask. Are you pro or anti police crime?

He disagrees with the top people at the WHO as to where Covid goes now. We will not likely see a new, more pathogenic variant of Covid, says Dr. Campbell. He has disagreed with the WHO plenty in the past, and has even excoriated them. Re mass vaccination of 7 billion people, he says why would you do that now when we have Omicron? Omicron is spreading like wildfire and producing good immunity as it goes. Europe is coming out of the pandemic. EASTERN Europe and Russia with their low vaccination rates will see terrible times ahead yet with Covid. The peak in Russia is estimated by them to be coming on Feb. 22, 2022. European normalisation - YouTube LH- California has now suffered over 81,000 deaths from this pandemic.

Dear City Council: Is the City of Palo Alto going to respond to the hate speech levied by the final public speaker at tonight's meeting? This belligerent, hostile, aggressive speaker demonstrated clear bias against black people, using the N- word more than once (including putting F-ing in front of it), and also said F-You to me directly, stating my name in full. You allowed this man to speak long enough to make these statements heard before finally cutting him off. What is your system for responding to this kind of intolerable behavior? Is pretending it did not happen - which is what you did - your official policy? As you know, hate speech and profanity -- especially profanity used in a hostile personal attack (I am not a public figure) -- is not protected by the First Amendment and is in violation of local and state law. Will PAPD Police Chief Jonsen be investigating the caller? Additionally, given my criticism of his job performance (which is my legal right, and I used 100% acceptable language) can Mr. Jonsen guarantee that the caller was not one of the 59 (white) members of his own police force (or himself personally)? And can he or John Schenk guarantee that the caller was associated with John Schenk and/or Thoits, whom I also criticized? (To clarify my comment about John Schenk that he does not enjoy/suffer "community member" standing pursuant to the Brown Act, I stand by that remark on the grounds that (1) The City of Palo Alto enabled Schenk to actively conceal his role as a landlord (rather than as a small business owner); and (2) The COPA gave Schenk more power to speak than actual "community members." It is your behavior -- treating him differently than the community -- that changed his status, including your giving him panelist/speaker status and enabling him to misrepresent his role. While Molly Stump can and will disagree, that does not mean that she or you will win a lawsuit on this matter. (As a reminder, Stump loses most lawsuits, which likely is why she fears them so much.) In conclusion, what will be the City's response to tonight's outbreak of racist and misogyny? Or will it not respond at all? Sincerely, Rebecca Eisenberg Rebecca Eisenberg, Esq.

Date:Monday, February 7, 2022 10:42:06 PM CAUTION: This email originated from outside of the organization. Be cautiousof opening attachments and clicking on links. Dear City Council, At approximately 10.05 PM, Mayor Burt asked John Schenk, billionaire real estate developer and one of Palo Alto's largest and most profitable landlords, who currently serves as CEO of Thoits Brothers (and previously served for almost 2 decades as an executive at Sobrato) - https://www.linkedin.com/in/john-r-shenk- 2744808/ - mute his zoom app. If Schenk had the ability to mute himself, then he also had the ability to unmute himself, which is a power that no other member of the public was given (as far as we were made aware). This is a matter of serious public concern regarding Palo Alto's history of perceived favoritism to billionaire real estate investors, landlords, and employers, to the detriment of Palo Alto's residents and small businesses. For example, Palo Alto remains the only city in California (and like the USA) with a business presence of its size that fails to tax its businesses. Even though Palo Alto hosts the headquarters or large offices of some of the world's largest and most profitable companies -- companies that as a group increased their profits by hundreds of billions of dollars during the pandemic -- it does not tax even the most profitable of its local large employers. In other words, despite reporting record-setting profitability over the past year and employing tens of thousands of employees in Palo Alto, huge companies such as Tesla, Amazon.com, Alphabet, Facebook (despite the most recent quarter), and Palantir operate tax-free in Palo Alto. Similarly, billionaire landlords and commercial developers including Thoits and Sobrato are not taxed on their profits in Palo Alto, even though all of these companies pay taxes in every other city where they operate. Accordingly, because John Schenk does not live in Palo Alto (as he admitted publicly the other week), he pays virtually no taxes to our city and lacks standing under many/most accepted principles that protect the public against local government corruption and abuse that form the basis of state laws such as the Brown Act. Additionally, neither John Schenk nor Thoits is stated on tonight's agenda. Although there is an agenda item on University Avenue closures, why would John Shenk -- University Ave's self-professed largest landlord -- be given a larger voice than his small business tenants? There is a much larger number of small business owner tenants than there are landlords like Schenk on University Avenue, and it is the small business owners who stand to benefit (or lose) from street closures (or openings) far more directly than their landlord Mr. Schenk. Is John Shenk, who makes money from business rents and property appreciation, speaking on behalf of his tenants, who make money from community members who buy from and/or eat at their small businesses and restaurants? John Shenk's interests are different from his tenants at best, and are most likely, diametrically opposed to his tenants' interests. For example, granting Schenk unlimited license to evict small businesses and replace them with medical office harms small businesses and the community -- but increases Schenk's profits. Similarly, a business tax that only taxes large profitable businesses and multi-billion-dollar landlords but exempts small businesses like his tenants, cuts into Schenk's profits, while assisting small businesses with increased city services and affordable housing for their employees. In virtually every way imaginable, Schenk's interests are opposite those of the small business community. here in Palo Alto. Who exactly is given panelist/speaker status at City Council meetings? Is this something that is for sale? If so, what is the price? I may want to make an investment to receive panelist status as well. I assume there is a discount for individuals who actually live here? Either way, please explain how it is that John Schenk was given the ability to be heard (and seen-- although presumably, intentionally hidden) while all other members of the public -- including his business tenants: the small businesses that make up the backbone of our business community -- were not. Thank you in advance for a response to this question of great public interest. Sincerely, Rebecca Eisenberg Rebecca Eisenberg, Esq.

Dear City Council, I have been a resident of Evergreen Park for almost fifteen years and want to add my voice to those asking the Council to carefully consider all possible sides when deciding on permanent street closure on Cal Ave. Closing the street during Covid saved the sanity of those of us in the neighborhood and in greater Palo Alto, and I and my neighbors thank you sincerely for making that decision. Now, though, some of the negative implications of the street closure are emerging. When walking down Cal Avenue now, the tendency is to walk down the middle of the street - the sidewalks are crowded with awnings and not welcoming. From the middle of the street it is impossible to see any businesses other than the large restaurants. When one does look below the awnings, it’s not a welcoming setting for browsing - the street has more vacancies on it than any time I can remember in the last 15 years, and the feeling of a vibrant local community that has been here for so many years is much reduced. On weekend evenings and during Sunday Farmer’s Market Cal Ave is humming, but at EVERY OTHER TIME, it feels like a ghost town. Please visit during the middle of a weekday and take note. I have friends who are Cal Ave merchants, but I am speaking here as a resident of the neighborhood who misses the old bustle. Please consider no more than a part-time closure of the street, or if a permanent closure is planned, please allot space for merchants in the middle of the street so that the marketplace feel returns to Cal Avenue.

Honorable City Council, When the pandemic ends (granted it may take a few years to get completely through it), life will feel different again. It seems unwise to make permanent decisions that will take us into that time. We do not yet know how things will feel, what changes will have transpired by then, what the needs will be, etc. To keep the streets closed for another season might work out, but retail is suffering and foot traffic is the well-spring of the kind of retail on Cal Ave and Ramona.

If you are concerned about California’s trajectory into increasingly dire climate straits, please look at the attached documents and contact CPUC members as well as your representatives in Sacramento. And please look at the Californians for Green Nuclear Power website if you need additional information. There is no way that closing down Diablo Canyon and providing CA with power from Warren Buffet’s coal burning will do anything to stop the increasingly disastrous future we are facing. Please read the information below and call the CPUC. The contact info is here and in the CPUC Meeting Agenda.

Mary Holzer The CPUC will decide Thursday am if Warren Buffet can sell us coal power (see attached Almanac2 summary). Closing Diablo Canyon would be an energy disaster for California and adding more pollution from coal-fired plants will only make it worse, not only in CA but in the states where the plants are located.

It's been on repeat for whatever reason why Scott Peterson deserve Habeus Corpus application for exoneration in 2022. Scott Peterson had an abundance of computer development knowledge for the development of inmates Smart mail based on his affilation with classes taught by Steve Jobs and other coding courses whereas Intelligent Scott Peterson quickly gained access to develop a system whereas Scott was given an ultimatum to sell it quickly because of its competitive markets and the Jews who always doing corruption to plaguerize written computer developments. Scott Peterson was able to change his talent and skills in the development of the Smart Communication it's obvious that the income that Scott generated is the reason why Scott Peterson and Laci Peterson were held hostage..during the Xxmas..after the Hannukkah celebration. Prior to Laci Peterson and Scott Peterson being held hostage after Scott's haircut at Laci's sister's Amy salon salon. Jewish Homosexual male Attorney Harvey Levine decorates the word "Mistress" onto Amber Frey. Harvey Levine was jealous retailiated natures against Scott Peterson because Harvey wanted the business ventures whereas Scott quickly had recieved income for a software development that was sold to a filipino family who claim the computer development of "Smart Communication" a software development for SmartJail Mail in San Mateo county jail across the U.S towards Miami Gardens FL. Scott Peterson and Laci Peterson had became private Investigators to children who were forced into Humantraffing whereas they were targeted trapped and the mother of the children were treated poorly while she was victimtimized and held financial responsibility for those children who were assigned legal guardianships. Diva Lee aka Dilma Coleman was targeted trapped by Jewish Psychatrist Karen Kempter who drugged Diva Lee aka Dilma Coleman and develop a conservatorship for justification for the appropriate charges that the father's of her children were exempt from paying child support payments. This is exactly what led to Hunter Biden not wanting to be a father of his daughter Robyn Fenty aka singer Rihanna who Diva Lee's family took 100 percent financial responsibility for her when Robyn Fenty was assigned legal guardianships in Barbados and other island geographic locations whereas Diva Lee aka Dilma Coleman is the biological daughter of Jamacian Music producer Christianed Sullivan Lee aka Bunny Striker who was killed in 1991 whereas the identical twin brother Edward O'sullivan Lee took on his identical twin brother's music producer career whereas he had a navy career at a naval base. Diva Lee aka Dilma Coleman had survived a similar appearances of that hostage situation whereas Scott and Laci were destroyed. Diva Lee aka Dilma Coleman was pregnant whereas she was held hostage during her marriage to Saudi Arabian businessman Alwaleed bin Talal Al Saud (Kamala Harris demanded to be the mistress whereas Diva divorced and her inherited income from the divorce was distroyed) it was completely revealed that Diva Lee aka Dilma Coleman was trapped beaten up and the Vigilantes stepped on her pregnanted belly until the baby's head fell out. Drugs were administered and the baby was killed. Diva Lee aka Dilma Coleman was kept on the secret love pain suffering and it was the end of it. Attorney Mark Geregos plus Attorney Pat Harris didn't have adequate research to find Scott Peterson innocence because of their negative involvement with cyber forensics Cyberattacking cyberbulling stuff racketeering styles on it over there. jewish Attorney Geregos kept himself in the charectoristic analysis of how much he had hate on Catholic girls like Laci Rocha and her husband Scott Peterson. Mark Geregos had became the entertainment lawyer/criminal lawyer to Singer/dancer Chris Brown who was victimtimized in humantraffing labor,sex trafficking similar appearances of how Frank Sinatra was victimtimized in sex slavery whereas Frank Sinatra had many filipinos/mexican women pregnanted. The jews had Developed a sex slavery system that kept Jewish Homosexual lawyer Mark Geregos to recieve lavish gifts from his client Dancer/singer Chris Brown whereas Chris Brown wasn't allowed to give financial resources to Diva Lee aka Dilma Coleman for the written lyrics that was intended for her own music yet it went to Chris Brown to sing em and recruited other artists to join him on the collaboration of creating more music and more financial resources. It was completely revealed that Diva Lee aka Dilma Coleman and Laci Rocha had Developed the first music skills in music writing and artistry in Dancer singer Chris Brown because Chris Brown really is a relative to Diva Lee aka Dilma Coleman whereas Laci Rocha had been a babysitter/nanny/ teacher prior to Chris Brown being assigned to Joyce Hawkins being his Foster care mother/ adopted mother. It was hate on Catholic girls like Laci Rocha..from Jewish Homosexual males to control the development of music artists and increased Music producer music company that Diva Lee aka Dilma Coleman were to build up with Laci Rocha. It's been on repeat for whatever reason why it wasn't a submitted documentation on what led to Laci and Scott Peterson being held hostage after Scott's haircut at Laci's sister's Amy salon salon prior to Dec 2002. What other environmental factors of it being an attack against Catholic girl Laci Rocha Peterson and Diva Lee aka Dilma Coleman. In 2002, Laci and Diva's family friend philanthropist Susan Buffett(Methodist beliefs) had cancer whereas it matters on those jews who begged Susan Buffett to give their community leaders inherited income. Susan Buffett died in July 29,2004 was forced to Give funds in Jewish philanthropic non profit organizations that the Jews demanded additional income on their own Habitual ritualistics canvassing the development of their community non profit organizations. Diva Lee aka Diva Jobs aka Dilma Coleman was attacked by Jewish Psychatrist Karen Kempter who drugged Diva Lee aka Dilma Coleman whereas Karen is the birth mother of Mark Zuckerberg who stole the inherited income from Diva Lee aka Dilma Coleman. Scott Peterson was already fighting his innocence after Laci Peterson was killed witnessed by Filipinos caucasians at their kitchen in their home. As long as you can understand that Diva Lee MD JD aka Dilma Coleman had dual citizenship in Syria and America to study medical career in opthalmologist Surgeon medical neurosurgeon, cosmetology,plastic surgeon with phalanges and dental assisting. Diva Lee born in Italy had lived in the U.S with sponsorship Steve Jobs until age 31. Oftentimes Diva was trapped by those individuals who are negros addicted to drugs and other things whereas they did the worst with their santanic sadistic brain personality disorders..as those negro filipinos relatives of Rob Bonta studied psychology science with criminal justice. Diva affiliated with Steve Jobs's birth father and other coding developers in the U.S as well as in the Middle East, Samoan hawaii Jamacian ISLAND and Australian Media Monguls. Diva Lee MD JD had studied Ophthalmology residency in Syria with Syrian doctor Mr. President Bashar Al Assad. Diva Lee MD JD aka Dilma Coleman had studied Neurosurgeon surgery, Psychaitric nurse, dental assisting, cosmetology. Whereas all licenses were approved yet Diva Lee MD JD oppressed isolated trapped Victimtimized on labor trafficking,sex trafficking, humantraffing whereas it was on repeat since the death of Laci Peterson in 2002. The homosexual/bi sexual jewish creeps keep doing it now based on Gematria santanic ritualistics beliefs to recruit individuals to steal income intended for Diva Lee aka Dilma Coleman on her creative business ventures in music,film and now it's over there on the Netflix documentaries those shows "Dirty John" ,"Medical Malpractice" "Law n Order" "The Plaintiff" " Big Bang Theory" "Boondocks" " Friends" "Empire TV series" and various movies whereas the Actress Diva Lee aka Dilma Coleman doesn't have any ideas they are invisible in the movies for someone else to collect an income for the development of their charector. That Stanislaus county District Attorney Brigit Fladager is a serial false witness in the murder of Laci Peterson. Brigit Fladager was in the Modesto Stanislaus county home of Scott Peterson when Scott was unconscious. Birigt has participated in the worst murder witness whereas Brigit gaslighters and it's not documented in the courts case. Brigit Fladager stalked Diva Lee in various geographic locations whereas Diva Lee aka Diva Jobs aka Dilma Coleman was drugged by Jewish Psychatrist Karen Kempter so there was an ultimatum in the Mental health judge Stephen Manley's courtcase systems connects to Santa Clara DA Jeff Rosen and it's how a conservatorship was created and Inherited income intended for Diva Lee aka Diva Jobs aka Dilma Coleman was trapped stolen including real estate properties were stolen, destroyed in that type of behavior charectoristics left Diva Lee MD JD aka Dilma Coleman to live in Homeless shelter in Santa Clara county and often switched to Santa Cruz CA and other areas whereas she slept on a couch victimtimized by the Santa Clara DA Jeff Rosen plus the mental health judge Stephen Manley their cohorts affiliated with Santa Clara County housing and other areas whereas it's over there it's over their Illuminati puppets. It's been on repeat for whatever reason why Santa Clara mental health judge Stephen Manley had been programmed to target Diva Lee aka Dilma Coleman whereas she was victimtimized placed in a conservatorship..whereas Stephen Manley's sex partners Affiliated with Rosa Parks relatives in Oakland,CA whom resided In East side of Arthur Street Oakland CA their cohorts Affiliated with SF mint and SF courthouse Judge Katherine Berman plus Rick Marino's drug addictions with the use of Delancy organizations. After being challenged by Rosa Parks relatives on it over there it's over the courtcase whereas Diva Lee MD JD aka Dilma Coleman is victimtimized by mental health conservatorship whereas she is abused financially oppressed isolated from her family and oppressed from her skills to have a career as a lawyer or medical Doctor. The Vigilantes affiliated with Gavin Newsom,Santa Clara DA Jeff Rosen CEO Apple Tim Cook CEO Google Larry Page their cohorts affiliated with Philanthropist organizers who keep canvassing their premeditated Gematria santanic ritualistics events with their own drug addictions with the use of Homefirst homeless organization and life moves organization where their own personal itinerary are often fabricated and canvassing their creative side in cartoons,TV series shows, documentary reality TV series on Netflix whereas they use income from that to build commercial buildings and residential buildings to grow snail garden on it over there on it with the distribution of man-made dieases,man made Fentanyl made on the stove..or something like that whereas it looks like gummy bears..flavored toothpaste. Those individuals from San Jose CA conservatory charter school corp are hired for events that have hostages on it over there it's over there on them mimicking patterns of the corruption of Santa Clara DA Jeff Rosen and his cohorts affiliated with Former SF 49 er football homosexual bi- sexual Colin Kaepernick. It's been on repeat for whatever reason why it's over there on the way Amber Frey,TMZ celebrity gossip host Harvey Levine,Mark Geregos,Pat Harris,AG Rob Bonta, former AG Xavier Bercerra were the individuals racketeering styles on the humantraffing physical altercations whereas they victimtimized Scott Peterson as a man who killed his wife Laci Rocha Peterson. It's not good reasoning especially when lots of evidence was kicked out especially key witnesses were hidden from the documentation of the Scott Peterson case SC05550A. Call the baliff 650-551-3731 develop new evidence of the terrorists leaders in Politics, government officials, boogaloo fraudulent law enforcement agents, Soul Brothers motorcycle club members, jewish homosexual lawyers bi-sexual jewish religion leaders Affiliated with Baptist Christian Leaders and them negros spiritual music makers with them Filipinos caucasians native americans on it whereas they are organized habitual vigilantes canvassing their premeditated thoughts on American Promise lands.

Why did the jewish homosexuals attorney Harvey Levine target Scott Peterson's wife Laci Rocha Peterson whereas she and her husband were held hostage. What made Laci Rocha's brother Brent and his mother Sharon Rocha suspicious of the income Scott Peterson had and his assets that created the material life for Laci Rocha Peterson whereas Laci had been busy as a substitute teacher? Laci Rocha and her father Dennis Rocha plus Diva Lee aka Dilma Coleman had to recover from a music company Development that was stolen by Birdman aka Bryan Christopher Williams..whereas Laci's only artistry was the development of Rapper "Shock G". Dennis Rocha had a long term affilation with Rodeos shows and environmental factors that influence the development of rap music artists in the 1990's the geographic locations whereas the Rodeos shows had a half time performances. That's what Laci,Dennis Rocha and Dennis Rocha's goddaughter had in common in the 1990's. Rodeo shows, dairy cows, horse races at Bay Meadows and other venues, Catholic Church services.. Whereas that's what we loved to do together. We quickly were attacked by Jewish Homosexual/bi-sexual community advisors, Psychaitric doctor Karen Kempter and their recreational competitive markets. That's what led to Laci Rocha Peterson and her husband Scott Peterson being held hostage. The Jewish Attorney Harvey Levine decorates different geographic locations whereas he had role playing skits and the key word he decorates "Mistress" for Amber Frey was a vital role to develop a career change for Amber Frey to go from massage therapist to author. It's been on repeat for whatever reason why Jewish Attorney Gloria Allred has a reputable skills as well for her hate on Catholic girls especially Catholic girl Diva Lee aka Dilma Coleman who was born in Italy because Diva's grandfather Afghan King MOHAMMED Zahir Shah was in exile in Italy. Stop Gloria Allred's law offices from creating compensation generated for victims who are not victims but canvassing their premeditated theatrical scenes based on TMZ celebrity gossip host Harvey Levine decorates them as it's over there as an main act over there at West Valley College theatrical stages and other stages on it over there at California Great America. In conclusion, let's pause on gathering Habeus Corpus application for Scott Peterson. There's evidence that there are other victimtimized by Santa Clara DA Jeff Rosen incarcerated who need Habeus Corpus application. There's evidence of Chino Hills,CA Unsolved massacre on Peggy Ryen in 1983 Whereas Ron Grantski was involved as a key witness.

Dear City Council Members, I am forwarding this email sent on Nov 15, 2021 as a reminder of additional information to consider when evaluating the street closure on Ramona St. I am including three recent videos (see Vimeo link below) that show the activity on Ramona after 10 pm which would be disruptive to guests at the Cardinal Hotel. These are amateur videos taken with a cell from a guest room facing Ramona St. to show the activity on Ramona St late into the evening / early morning. https://cardinalhotel.com/video/ Friday Jan 28 11:30pm ( 51 second video) Friday Feb 4 11:30 pm (24 second video) Sat Feb 5 12:30am (29 second video) I am in favor of the street remaining closed to traffic and open for outdoor dining. I am requesting that Council put enforceable hours of operations for the parklets that correspond with dining hour so that noise after 10pm will not negatively impact the operation of the Cardinal Hotel. Thank you, Stephanie Cardinal Hotel, GM ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Stephanie, Wansek <Stephanie@cardinalhotel.com> Date: Mon, Nov 15, 2021 at 1:56 PM Subject: Cardinal Hotel / Ramona Street Closure To: <City.Council@cityofpaloalto.org> Cc: <CityMgr@cityofpaloalto.org>, Kara Apple <kara.apple@cityofpaloalto.org> Dear City Council Members, I appreciate the ongoing consideration and deliberation about whether to keep certain streets in Palo Alto closed to traffic and open to outdoor dining. As the owner of Bistro Maxine, a restaurant on Ramona St, I am pleased to have half of Ramona street remain closed to traffic through June 2022. As the GM of the Cardinal Hotel, located on the corner of Ramona and Hamilton and currently closed for renovation, I want to ensure that (1) any potential noise impacts of this street closure which would negatively impact the hotel guest experience and (2) the loss of two commercial loading zone parking spaces are being considered as these discussions about Ramona street remaining closed continue. 1. Permitted hours for Parklet operation: Hours of operation for permitted parklets should be limited to 10 pm. 2. Additional noise concerns: No additional noise be permitted in parklets or from restaurants into the streets to reach patrons dining in parklets. Concerns include, but are not limited to: volume for televisions in parklets, music playing into the street from restaurants with open windows or exterior speakers and live music (except special permitted events with end time of event clearly defined and enforced) 3. Commercial Loading Zone: replace the two commercial loading zone spaces on Ramona with the two remaining parking spaces in front of the Osteria / Cardinal Hotel on Hamilton St. Make these two spots Commercial Loading Zone 8am-6pm and Loading Zone only after 6pm to accommodate guests arriving at the hotel (similar to Nobu with all parking spots on either facade of the hotel dedicated to the hotel for commercial loading and passenger loading and unloading. Additional information: Over the 20 + years, having two restaurants / bars on Ramona street has posed the biggest challenge to the hotel when it comes to late night noise and its negative impact on the guest experience. Over ten years ago, The Old Pro was renovated with large open windows, and ledge tables attached to the building on the sidewalk side and seating on the sidewalk. After I reached out on behalf of the hotel, the City reviewed the CUP and restricted the hours the windows could be open and did not allow the tables / seating on the sidewalk. Over the years hotel employees call regularly (both Old Pro directly and PAPD) to request that the windows be closed per their CUP and it is important there is something to refer to to enforce. In 2018 we had issues with both the Old Pro and NOLA with speakers attached to the exterior of the building playing music later in the night. The City was involved with helping to resolve that at the time. If Ramona street is to remain closed to traffic beyond June 2022, I would like to request that the parklets be permitted for outdoor dining only and the hours that restaurants / bars are allowed to use the street for business are limited to 10pm. The “Uplift Local” effort has been discussed as “outdoor dining”. I would like to request that this is formalized and that bars can not serve customers on the street after 10pm. If bars are allowed to serve alcohol out on the street until 2am this will make accommodating guests on our Ramona side impossible. After our renovation, each room night should generate at a minimum $50 per night in Transient Occupancy Tax for the City so it is important for both the Cardinal Hotel and the City that a “pedestrian only” Ramona street supports a successful hotel operation and is not an option for outdoor bar business from 10pm -2am. Ramona is the hotel’s most favorable side with views to Roxy Rapp’s beautifully renovated building and City Hall Plaza. In our renovation we plan to have our largest rooms that will command higher rates located on Ramona. We project that on certain dates we will regularly be able to generate upwards of $100 per night in TOT for the City from these rooms on Ramona St. As a hotel GM, I want to be able to provide an extraordinary guest experience in the renovated Cardinal Hotel, a Palo Alto business of almost 100 years. The Cardinal needs the support of the City Council and the City Manager’s Office to remain a viable and popular hotel in the community. The owners are poised to invest over 10 million dollars in this renovation. For this reason,we want to take this opportunity to clarify how important the downtown environment -noise, streetscape and cleanliness - is to the future success of the Cardinal Hotel. Let me end by saying that I believe, if done properly, having a closed Historic Ramona Street could be beneficial to all, including the hotel.

To the City Council: I applaud the Council’s willingness to consider permanent closure of California Avenue, Ramona Street, and perhaps others. There is nothing radical about separating people from cars. To the contrary, pedestrian districts have flourished in cities including Barcelona, Florence, Vienna, Helsinki, Copenhagen, Rotterdam, Munich, Prague, Shanghai, Taipei, and many others. Indeed, we might follow their examples and do more than simply block off these streets to traffic; we could convert them to attractive urban spaces. I have always believed that by virtue of its prosperity, high levels of education, and unequalled access to technology that Palo Alto is uniquely positioned to create a vision of 21st century urban life. If we can’t be a leader, let’s at least not be an outlier. I support the permanent closure of California Ave. and Ramona Street and I urge you to do so as well.

Hi, I am sending you the below letter from Bret van de Sande, Director of Facilities & Services at Inspire Real Estate Holdings, LLC. Inspire Real Estate owns the building at 250 University Ave. which is located on the corner of Ramona St. and University Ave. in downtown Palo Alto. Along with having our own businesses on 3 floors of the building, we manage the tenants occupying the street level store fronts. The below letter is for the discussion tonight regarding the closure of Ramona Street. Thank you, Jeannette February 7, 2022 Dear Mayor Burt, Vice Mayor Kou, and Council Members Cormack, Filseth, DuBois, Stone, and Tanaka, We represent the building’s owner and oversee property management for all suites at 250 University Ave. We feel it’s our responsibility to advocate for our tenants to ensure they are being treated equally to the rest of the businesses on Ramona St. and University Ave. as well the rest of City of Palo Alto. While the street closure on Ramona has benefited restaurants since August 2020, it has caused the loss of business for non-food shops located in our building. By limiting through traffic, you are diverting cars who would normally travel through our street onto University or Hamilton. This is a missed opportunity for new customers to view shops located at our building. Additionally, existing customers feel offput by the lack of easy access and are less inclined to stop and shop. For instance, at times, the open portion of Ramona St. is taken over by pedestrians walking in the middle of the street as they feel safe to do so since the other half of the street is closed. This makes it extremely unsafe not only for those pedestrians, but for vehicles parking in our garage, which are made up of the public, our tenants, and our employees. Cherry LeBrun, the owner of De Novo Fine Contemporary Jewelry and our longtime tenant for over 32 years is a valuable member of the downtown Palo Alto community and has been hit hard by this street closure. Additionally, the Ramona closure is having an impact on our own organizations that occupy 3 floors of our building at 250 University. We are in the process of resuming normal business for our non- profit foundation, investment company, and property management company, however the street closure which we were told would be temporary is interfering with vendor, employee, and guest access to the parking garage that we solely maintain and manage. Vendors, guests, and new employees who are unfamiliar to the area have found it difficult to navigate with the street closure. Furthermore, before the closure, we were able to provide convenient parking and access to our building which provided excellent first impressions to our guests/clients doing business with our organizations, now many of these guests/clients are met with frustration before they even step into our building. It is unfair that restaurants on Ramona are benefiting and being favored by the street closure at the expense of other businesses. We encourage you to reopen the remainder of Ramona St. to give all businesses an equal opportunity to succeed in these difficult times. Sincerely, Bret van de Sande Director of Facilities & Services Inspire Real Estate Holdings, LLC 250 University Avenue, Suite 300 | Palo Alto, CA 94301 Office: 650.331.8812 | Mobile:408.687.7433 | Fax: 650.331.8803 e-mail: Bret@goodlandsllc.com From:Richard Corny To:Council, City Subject:Cal Ave Street closure please reopen Date:Monday, February 7, 2022 4:08:49 PM [Some people who received this message don't often get email from guitarrichie@yahoo.com.

Unfortunately for us and any business, it’s not enough. There are 15 empty spots on Cal Ave, there are 50 open businesses on Cal not including offices that seem to be half empty like the building behind the cobblery. If we do some simple math 20% of Cal Ave is vacant and that is really bad. And sad. Please reopen Cal Ave so that we can once again have businesses thrive. I did not count all the surrounding empty spots as well but Cambridge is bad, Birch st has 2 spots closed. And we could potentially lose more businesses if kept closed. Please do what is right. Give life back to Cal Ave. Thank you.

Dear City Council, It's been brought to my attention you'll soon be voting on whether to keep California Ave open to pedestrians or open it back up to vehicles. I am a resident of College Terrace and absolutely love living in this neighborhood. I would like to ask you to please vote to keep California Ave open to pedestrians only, allow restaurants to continue to seat people on the street, and have live music during dining hours. My family and I have really enjoyed having California Ave open to pedestrians only these past few years. Everyone I've spoken to in College Terrace would also like to keep Cal Ave open to pedestrians only. It's truly brought the community closer together and it's a street to look forward to visiting and eating outdoors. Eating outdoors is so much more enjoyable without traffic going by, and it's very easy to reach all the retail stores and browse around. There also seems to be ample parking on the streets and in the garages to either side of California Ave and still very accessible to reach all of the retail stores, including Mollie Stones. I understand Mollie Stones may be petitioning to re-open Cal Ave to vehicles because they say it's hurt their business but quite honestly it's still very easy to access Mollie Stones with Cal Ave being open directly in front of Mollie Stones and having access to their parking lot from Cambridge. I honestly wonder if Mollie Stone's really high prices (compared to other local grocery stores) is what's hurting their business. Having a portion of Cal Ave closed to vehicles hasn't stopped me in the least from visiting any retail store, grocer, or restaurant on the street. Thank you for your consideration of my voice and opinion. I know that I speak on behalf of myself, my family, and all of our friends in College Terrace.

Allowing restaurants to expand their dining rooms into the street has really changed the vibe in a very positive way. There is a warm, convivial quality that the street lacked before, its so much more vibrant and alive. A very welcome counterpoint to being cooped up at home. Its a real pleasure to stroll the Avenue, any time of day, but I especially enjoy wandering through in the evening when there are strands of twinkling lights and those dramatic vertical flame heaters. Its quite lovely, almost European. This new arrangement has provided a way to be with with other humans in a socially distant (and hopefully safe) way. I kind of feel like I am hanging out with all the folks strolling on the street: parents with their infants in strollers, Stanford students, middle schoolers on their bikes, dog walkers, older couples walking hand in hand, folks enjoying a date night--and the five year olds chasing each other in circles! Its been such a pleasure to see people doing things, enjoying each other and a nice meal--you know, NORMAL things, in this difficult time of upheaval and disruption. The outdoor seating, no-car, arrangement of California Avenue has certainly aided in maintaining my emotional equilibrium. Its fun to be there, its accessible, you don't need to spend any money if you don't want to--you can just sit on an plinth, enjoy the sun and the world wandering by. A special tip of the hat to Team Terun/Italico, who have elevated my mood through months and months of Covid precautions with their seasonal decorations and *live music* provided by Michael and his guitar playing friends. This has brought many a smile to my face and motivated me to entertain a little more hope than before. I would also say that having the outdoor dining has been a great enhancement to the Farmer's Market on Sunday. Please, please, please let the restaurants keep their outdoor seating and abandon cars on California Avenue! It has made, and continues to make such a positive difference in so many lives. All the best, Becky SUPER BOWL LVI TICKETS ___ llll __ ~I_I ___ llll __ ~ ...___ __ llll __ ____.l .__I ___ llll __ ____.

Be cautiousof opening attachments and clicking on links. Policy & Services February 8, Public Comment: Good evening Chair Stone, and Committee, It was encouraging to hear last night at your Budget meeting how safety, and leaf blower code enforcement priorities have clearly identified needs which I hope can happen soon with airplane noise. City staff did a great job on airplane noise in this committee in February 2015, and February 2018. Please now find a place on your agenda, February 28th would not be too soon. On Saturday Councilmember Filseth spoke about putting resources into the City's engagement with SFO, mentioning an inflection point with the rollout of GBAS and how we're not going to be in the san mateo roundtable anytime soon. Because Council has previously committed to responding to airspace actions affecting Palo Alto such as GBAS, with respect to environmental review I wonder if there is a plan to prioritize SFO engagement instead. It has happened with PIRAT, the city choosing to work locally and not challenging the FAA. However, I’d like to point out that the City’s engagement of Palo Altans leading up to Council's decision about PIRAT, was impeccable. Prior to Council voting on PIRAT, City staff documented citizen concerns to authorities; collected everything to inform Council’s deliberations, the public was heard in Council chambers, and as much as I and many disagreed with Council’s final choice to send PIRAT to the Santa Clara roundtable, the public was given due process. GBAS impacts on Palo Alto neighborhoods are giant compared to PIRAT. PIRAT traffic volume is a ¼ of each of SERFR and BDEGA. The GBAS roll out in March involves all three paths. Yet thus far City staff has only given a voice to SFO. It is within your power to take in the public’s concerns before March. Please engage the people in Palo Alto who will actually live with the outcome of these actions very directly (on all your plans). Thank you.
