Be cautiousof opening attachments and clicking on links. Hello, I’m strongly against Palo Alto Airport expansion due to the myriad deleterious environmentalimpacts to air, water and quality of life in Palo Alto . A needed change however is to assure a healthier diet for the ducks which will in turn improve the water quality. Sincerely, Bette KiernanPalo Alto https://wildlifecenter.org/help-advice/wildlife-issues/problem-feeding-ducks The Problem with Feeding Ducks No crackers for quackers — help keep waterfowl healthy and wild! Heading to the park to feed the ducks is a very old and popular family pasime; it’s a fun, free activity and a great way for parents and children to see and appreciate wildlife and nature. What many people don't realize is that bread, rolls, chips, and other human "snack food" items do not ofer the proper nutrition that ducks and geese need — and that the act of feeding a diet heavy in bread and other empty carbohydrates can lead to severe health consequences and a variety of other problems. Nutritional Consequences Wild ducks and geese feed on a variety of grains and grasses, aquatic plants, and invertebrates, all naturally found in the wild. When eaten in combination, these foods are nutritionally balanced and provide everything a wild duck or goose needs to survive. In contras, foods commonly fed to waterfowl in public parks, such as bread, crackers, popcorn, and corn, are typically low in protein and essential nutrients and minerals (such as calcium and phosphorus). While a single feeding of these “junk foods” may not harm waterfowl, it adds up! If everyone visiting a park “only” gives a few pieces of bread or crackers to ducks and geese, it quickly becomes the bulk of what wild waterfowl consume, and results in a variety of nutritional disorders. Waterfowl in public parks are often admitted to wildlife rehabilitation centers with metabolic bone disease (MBD). Birds with MBD have incredibly soft bones and joints that are often malformed and fractured; these injuries are caused by an overall calcium defciency in the body, which is linked to an inappropriate diet. Calcium also plays a crucial role in the formation of eggs/ofspring, clotting ability, cardiovascular and neuromuscular function, and a variety of other metabolic activities. Birds with MBD are often so malformed they cannot fy and become dependent on handouts, completing a vicious cycle. Afected birds are typically too weak to compete for food and defend themselves and are often the victims of aggressive attacks by other ducks and geese. Another common issue with ducks and geese in public parks is “angel wing”— a condition where the ends of an afected bird’s fight feathers are twised upward. “Angel wing” occurs when ducks and geese grow abnormally quickly; the afected birds’ joints don’t fully form as the wing and feathers develop and the weight of the growing feathers rotates the tip of the bird’s wing. If caught in the initial sages, waterfowl sufering from this condition may be treated with splints to guide bone growth in the correct position. Although there are several theories regarding the causes of “angel wing”, some sudies sugges that diets high in protein may be to blame. Well-meaning citizens feeding commercial duck, chicken, or turkey feed to avoid the “junk food” may be unintentionally creating this disorder. One more problem with bread products is that this type of food expands in water—and the somach—which gives ducks and geese an artifcial feeling that they are full. As a result, these birds may not feel motivated to continue foraging on natural foods of higher nutritional value. Overcrowding & Disease In the wild, a particular lake or pond habitat can susain a certain number of ducks and/or geese – there is a maximum number of individuals that can successfully reside there indefnitely, with enough food, water, and shelter. This “carrying capacity” of the habitat can be artifcially increased when supplemental food is added. While extra food may appear to be a good thing, it may lead to an expanded waterfowl population beyond the carrying capacity of the habitat. Without increasing space and other resources, ducks and geese can become sressed and overcrowded. Increased numbers of animals leads to increased competition for food; weaker birds in these environments often susain severe injuries from more dominant birds. During the spring breeding season, gangs of male ducks physically attack each other to get access to female ducks. This not only leads to plucked featherless areas and skin lacerations, but females often drown as they cannot escape the driven males. Females that manage to escape the male ducks often nes up to a mile away from the water. This abnormal nesing behavior may put them at risk of urban predators, vehicle collisions, and perils not associated with nesing in natural areas. Overcrowded habitats also are prime territories for disease outbreaks; there have been numerous outbreaks of botulism, avian cholera, duck plague (duck enteritis virus), and aspergillosis (fungal infection) in city duck ponds where supplemental feeding is a regular activity. The intense competition for poor- quality food combined with other sressful interactions often causes the ducks and geese to have suppressed immune sysems, which reduces their ability to resis infection. For areas with high volumes of supplemental feeding, it’s also quite common for the unconsumed, leftover food to attract scavengers, including raccoons, opossums, and rats. Dense populations of these scavengers bring the potential for further disease outbreak, including zoonotic diseases that are transmissible to humans. Habitat Degradation There are also environmental issues related to artifcially increasing the number of ducks and geese in a given area. Large numbers of waterfowl in a small area can seriously impact the surrounding environment. Feces generated by overcrowded waterfowl result in increased deposition of carbon, phosphorus, and nitrogen in the water and surrounding grasslands. The addition of these nutrients to water (a process known as eutrophication) promotes excessive algae growth, leading to decreased oxygen levels, foul- smelling green and cloudy water, fsh kills, and an overall decrease in water quality. Some common algae species (blue-green algae) even produce toxins associated with illness in wildlife, humans, and pets. Certain species of waterfowl may also be desructive to the environment, due to their natural foraging srategies. Canada geese graze on grass and other low- growing plants and, when in large focks, often desroy lawns and gardens surrounding city ponds. If these birds cannot fnd enough food, they often migrate short disances to golf courses, sports felds, and other grassy public areas yet sill use the public park as a “home base”. Increased waterfowl populations can also lead to erosion of shorelines and a general negative public opinion of ducks and geese. Habituation In the wild, a healthy fear of humans and other potential predators allows ducks and geese to survive and reproduce. In public settings where waterfowl are fed artifcial diets, these birds often lose this fear and are more likely to be consumed by predators (feral cats, dogs, foxes, raccoons, etc). Urban waterfowl may also be more likely to be hit by vehicles, entangled in litter, and maliciously harmed by humans. Habituated geese can pose a signifcant public health threat at certain times of the year if they are defending a nesing female or a brood of goslings. These habituated geese have the ability to seriously hurt humans, particularly children. What You Can Do Allowing ducks and geese to fnd their own wild, nutritionally balanced diet is bes—for the health of waterfowl and the surrounding environment. For those who would like to sop feeding waterfowl slowly: the leas problematic foods mimic the waterfowl’s natural diet—greens and insects. Chopped-up greens (kale, collards, dandelions (only from pesicide-free yards)) are more nutritious than any junk food, including corn. Ducks and geese eat insects too—so a special treat of mealworms or freeze-dried crickets would also likely be enjoyed! But the bottom line is that wild ducks and geese should be able to fnd plenty of food on their own, so if you can resis the temptation to feed, simply pack your binoculars and camera and enjoy watching the birds. Insead of feeding ducks and geese: Organize a trash pick-up at your local park. Collect sray fshing hooks, lines, and sinkers. Learn more about native ducks and geese and their natural hisory. Spread the word! Share this information with others. If your local park has a problem with feeding, contact your parks and recreation ofce and work together to put up educational signs.

As well as to bring you new programs to the state of Kentucky including one like the KPACE Program in Cedar Rapids IA I went through to getmy GED and education for degrees I am in the process still of getting from Kirkwood Community College to Mount Mercy University going from an AA Degree in Liberal Artswith a minor in psychology and 1/2 of 72 credits towards a BA in social work with a minor in psychology. I will continue to get my degrees after I get paid and can return home to do so. Today, let's go get these kids out safely right now.

Get all our kids out safely!!! I am trying to get you to incorperation job programs like liccing stamps for the elderly or those who can't do hard work. 250-500 a week for a weekly or daily checc.

I want a "workforce development center" that teaches you how to dress for success and access to goodwill tickets whenever required. That helps you right a resume and how to do interviewsand fill out application or sign you up for education and stuff like that.

What you access a federal investigation for and how to access a federal investigation going on in thisstate to teach these individuals how to access the help they need here. Please incorporate this into places like the nest. The day center, the light house, places like that. Start telling the kids how and when to access a federal investigation at a younger age then highschool.. tell it at the time we start to tell em about how to access 911.

Be cautiousof opening attachments and clicking on links. Dear Council, You have probably heard about recent rulings from the Supreme Court on various issues cutting federal agency power including a revised statute of limitations for challenginggovernment regulations, and the end of Chevron deference. I realize that the rulings are in the eye of the beholder. For those of us who follow aviation noise, it's no loss to see a new dynamic to work towards balance because neither the FAA,EPA, or Congress have been proactive enough to protect people from aviation noise. This week's Airport Noise Report covered Chevron deference; it includes comments from PeterKirsch (the city's aviation counsel), and my take on the implications for how the FAA carries out NEPA. The ANR issue also has coverage of a paper from Palo Alto residents on havingvalid metrics to evaluate potential impacts from FAA actions. Furthermore, the SFO Roundtable announced today that the Metroplex Overflight Noise Analysis (MONA) team from Stanford University is on the agenda for their July 16 meeting at 3:30 pm regarding MONA's validation study of AEDT. AEDT is the tool that the FAA uses to estimate potential aviation noise impacts for regulatory purposes. I suggest that all of the above topics are important to capture what citizens are trying to convey about concerns with aircraft noise governance and hope that you will take interest.

Be cautiousof opening attachments and clicking on links. To whom it may concern, the recent inquiry of the Palo Alto airport to fill in the reserved duckpond to expand its airport is a ludicrous and inhumane effort to increase profit at the expense of the natural wildlife minutes from its borders. As a resident of Palo Alto and a frequent guestto the duck pond, I request a firm denial of the airports expansion. The enjoyment of the people and the sanctuary of the animals are infinitely more important than a strip of concrete padding the wallets of a select few who couldn't care less about whattheir surrounding residents want, their well being, or the long standing private history of the site. I see benches marked with the names and dates of mothers, fathers, grandmothers andgrandfathers, people who have come and gone and enjoyed the sights of the parks. Their memories shouldn't vanish with them. I want my children to enjoy the scenery as I have,uninterrupted. There are other airports, already up to code and with far more equipped to consider. No traveler would choose the airport which is actively destroying what makes the communitygreat. From:Maha A.

Be cautious of opening attachments and clicking on links. To whom it may concern, I have recently heard that the private Plato Alto airport wants the Duck Pond filled in so they can expand their airport. This is absolutely a terrible idea. The duck pond is a vital part of the community not only for the people, but more importantly for the natural wildlife of our city. As a member of our community, I am highly against this notion. I hope the city council isn’t so corrupt to cater to a private airport and its investors. We must represent the voices who cannot speak for the preservation of their homes.

City Council Members: I found filling out the Palo Alto Airport survey difficult because it didn't allow for any differing opinions from the 5 alternatives. Because when filling out the survey, I did not choose a given option, my survey was not submitted and was considered incomplete. I would like to eliminate the airport altogether as there are already enough airports in the area and the noise from the current airport as well as the inevitable air pollution reduce the quality of life in Palo Alto to the benefit of only a few residents. If eliminating the airport is not an option, I would like to go on record as choosing Option #1 to do nothing.

I have cc’d the official City Council and City Manager email addresses to ensure they receive your note and concerns about the CalTrans ECR bike lane project, directly. City Council did hear similar concerns when this project was presented last month, on June 18th. Here is a link to the agenda and record of that meeting: https://cityofpaloalto.primegov.com/portal/item/5389 Council voted at that time to support the project and the removal of the parking spaces along ECR. Staff received direction to mitigate impacts as possible by taking next steps to allow some number of employee permit parkers currently assigned to Zone G to again make use again of the zones within the Evergreen Park-Mayfield RPP, and to also work with ECR businesses to identify options for new curb designations just off of ECR for loading or short term parking prioritization, as agreed upon adjacent business owners. Let me know if you or others would like to meet soon to discuss possible next steps regarding these options.

Be cautiousof opening attachments and clicking on links. Dear Nathan, Following up here, about our questions. As mentioned there is already a two way BIKE LANE FROM STANFORD AVE ALL THE WAY TO GALVEZ/EMBARCADERO. THIs bike lane is paved, protected from el camino and used by cyclist infrequently. So the big question to CALTRANS and CITY COUNCIL, Why do we need a double bike lane along el camino when there is already a protected bike lane from Stanford AVe all the way to Galvez. If Caltrans is concerned about safety, why would the tempt cyclist to ride in an unprotected area along el camino. There is no good reason to remove the street parking on El Camino in our opinion. Please make sure caltrans is aware and stop the unnecessary expense and liability of creating a duplicative bike lane along El Camino . Please confirm you received this message and will pass it along to the City Council of Palo Alto. Best regards, Dr. Newman , Dr Bjelajac and over 500 of our concerned patients who visit 1795 El Camino monthly.

From: dr james newman <newman_md@hotmail.com> Sent: Thursday, June 20, 2024 8:29 AM To: Baird, Nathan <Nathan.Baird@CityofPaloAlto.org> Cc: Stan Bjelajac, D.D.S. <drstan@drstanpaloalto.com> Subject: Re: El Camino Real CalTrans Repaving/Bikeway Council Item moved to today, 6/18/2024, 4pm Hi Nathan, It was impossible with such short notice to get comments and input from our local businesses at 1795 El Camino regarding that meeting. I was disappointed that the city council made a motion to favor removal of on street parking along el camino without input from local businesses which I am sure you will now start to get feedback. As there is already a safe bike lane on the west side of el camino from our block, is our section of el camino slated for an impact of our street parking?? Caltrans has three lanes in each direction along our stretch and our on street parking does not encroach on their lanes. Where is the boundary of caltrans property as it relates to city of palo alto parking along our building?? I hope the city is not planning on giving away our valuable on street parking along our block. We all need to be able to give ample feedback to Palo Alto city council and this last minute change in plans did not afford our voices to be taken into account. We would appreciate at least some answers to the couple of questions raised in this brief email.

I would like to share some handy dandy tips on finding the perfect book for your child to read over summer break! First of all, keep the age of your child in mind: how advanced they are at comprehending books. This is important while finding their special Goldilocks books-not too hard; just the right difficulty! An easy way to find their reading level is to read the first few pages of a book recommended for your child's age. If your child is very confused, it's too hard. If they get most of it, then it's just right. If they complain it's too easy, well, then it's just too easy. Next, genre; knowing what genres your kid enjoys will make sure they won't get bored. To find out what types of stories they like is really easy: just ask! If they don't know, then let them sample some books of different genres. Finally, the most important part: read my book reviews in the monthly FOPAL newsletter! Good luck! -Emma Chen Puzzles and Games Strategy gamers, this is THE month for you. We have over 4 dozen new games. 20 are currently listed on eBay for >$80, ours $30-40. In addition, there are another 6 for $15-20 also at way less than half eBay's price.

Be cautiousof opening attachments and clicking on links. Dear City Council, Developers have submitted building plans for a very large building of mixed usage on University Avenueand Byron Street, a very busy street with a lot of constant traffic. This area since I first moved there in 1987, 37 years ago has been a professional area with attorneys, dentists, psychiatrists, other therapists and senior residents. This very vast construction will totally change the ambiance of this area. Their intent is for the building to have many studio apartments with balconies, and many offices. It was only a few years ago that we were told that Palo Alto has enough offices, and there are still vacancies in the down town area. There are also plans for several large residential buildings in other areas of Palo Alto. 20 % of these apartments are to be affordable. Who will monitor this? This large a building is not necessary in this area. It is much too large for this down town location. Please consider the persons who are already working and living in that area, and please do the right thing and vote against such a large building. Thank you, Faith W.

I would like to share some handy dandy tips on finding the perfect book for your child to read over summer break! First of all, keep the age of your child in mind: how advanced they are at comprehending books. This is important while finding their special Goldilocks books-not too hard; just the right difficulty! An easy way to find their reading level is to read the first few pages of a book recommended for your child's age. If your child is very confused, it's too hard. If they get most of it, then it's just right. If they complain it's too easy, well, then it's just too easy. Next, genre; knowing what genres your kid enjoys will make sure they won't get bored. To find out what types of stories they like is really easy: just ask! If they don't know, then let them sample some books of different genres. Finally, the most important part: read my book reviews in the monthly FOPAL newsletter! Good luck! -Emma Chen Puzzles and Games Strategy gamers, this is THE month for you. We have over 4 dozen new games. 20 are currently listed on eBay for >$80, ours $30-40. In addition, there are another 6 for $15-20 also at way less than half eBay's price.

I hope that you will vote thisdown. They want to expand their airport into the Duck Pond. This would allow more and larger airplanes to travel toand from this airport near Embarcadero.Many of us love walking in the Duck Pond. I do not want a larger airport for a few. I do not want more airplaneowners from Palo Alto, Atherton, Woodside, Hillsborough, and San Mateo flying into the area of the Duck Pond.I request that you keep the Duck Pond as it is and has been for many years.

Rick deployed a tactic that encouraged interaction withpassersby – raising a fist in the air. He got lots of responses! Karen enjoyed hearing applause from seated diners we passed. Amy introducedus to a terrific chant: Hey, hey. Ho, ho. Meat and dairy’s got to go! George relished turning our message signs – CLIMATE ACTION ISLOVE #ACTNOW – towards workers and customers in the Apple Store as we chanted, “What do we want? Climate action! When do wewant it? NOW!” We were walking the walk and chanting the talk! Great job everybody! After the march, entrepreneur David joined us and shared news of a geothermal power generation system that he developed and is prototypingin Iceland. Geothermal energy is a terrific source of nearly infinite, inexpensive, clean, renewable energy that works continuously day ornight, wind or no wind, delivering smooth, continuous baseload power to the grid. Keep up the great work, David, and keep us posted onprogress! Rick was interviewed on the Earth Day Everyday Podcast where he shared his journey into becoming a climate activist and influencer. Check it out here. Thanks, Rick, for sharing your experience and enthusiasm! Angel was also interviewed and raised awareness on the top 3 individual contributions to environmental collapse which she cleverly calls,“CCC – Cars, Cows and Cups (plastic).” Meanwhile Rick reminds us of Gustave Speth’s top 3, “GAS – Greed, Apathy andSelfishness.” Yes, and yes. Thanks to you both for raising awareness of all these contributions! Matt continues working with a California construction industry association to develop a mission statement for a sustainability task force thatwill influence the direction of the construction industry’s impact on climate change and its commitment to mitigation and resiliency. He’slooking forward to sharing the statement soon. Roger at Spiritual Life Foundation has started delivering a climate message to their members every Friday. The first message was ourmonthly march message sharing how climate action is an act of love. Also, he expressed shock that temperatures in Fresno, where he oncelived, have been over 110 degrees so many days this year. Climate change has arrived. Thanks, Roger, for preparing SLF members, mentallyand spiritually, for the dramatic changes that are upon us. Looking forward to hearing more exciting news from our members about all the loving climate actions they are taking! Keep Up the Fight and See You Friday!
