Because of turf fields - there were three games yesterday on each of the three turf fields. This allowed 225 adults to play soccer together yesterday - and will continue to play throughout the winter. If the fields were grass - there would be no games until spring. The reality is that these adult soccer leagues are community builders. Friendships are formed, and many people feel welcomed to 'Silicon Valley' when they join a team. Cancel the games and it weakens the community Barry Palo Alto Ave This message needs your attention This is a personal email address. This is their first email to you. Mark Safe Report From:Helene Grossman To:Council, City; Shikada, Ed; Lait, Jonathan; Hartley, Craig Subject:A Cleaner, Quieter Palo Alto for 2026 and Beyond Date:Monday, January 5, 2026 11:00:41 AM CAUTION: This email originated from outside of the organization. Be cautiousof opening attachments and clicking on links. Dear City Council Members, City Manager Shikada, Director Lait, and Mr. Hartley, Happy holidays and best wishes for the New Year! I am writing with an idea that would be an extraordinary – and essentially free – gift to Palo Alto residents for 2026 and beyond: ban gas-powered leaf blowers citywide, including on commercial properties. The time has come. Palo Alto has prohibited gas leaf blowers in residential areas for 20 years. Further, it has been 2 years since California banned the sale of new gas- powered leaf blowers and other small off-road engines, accelerating the transition to electric equipment. We now have both the tools and the momentum to take the next logical step. Closing an inequitable loophole Under current law, gas leaf blowers are prohibited in residential areas but explicitly allowed on commercial properties, including those immediately adjacent to homes. This creates an inequitable outcome: residents who live near commercial corridors are denied the clean air and reduced noise protections that other Palo Alto residents enjoy. This problem is especially acute for people living in multi‑family housing such as condominiums and apartments, which are often located directly next to commercial uses. Even when these residential properties fully comply with the law and use only electric equipment, residents can be subjected to persistent noise from nearby stores, restaurants, hotels, and other commercial properties, with no practical way to escape it in their own homes. This illustrates the core issue: noise and air pollution do not respect property lines or zoning categories. The externalities are real and unavoidable. It is unreasonable for one property’s desire for low‑cost maintenance to override others’ right to health and the peaceful enjoyment of nearby property. And from an air‑quality perspective, pollution from gas leaf blowers is pollution, regardless of whether it originates on residential or commercial land. Learning from neighboring communities Palo Alto would not be acting alone. Our neighbors have already adopted clear citywide bans for gas‑powered leaf blowers that apply to commercial as well as residential properties. Los Altos prohibits the use of gas‑powered leaf blowers citywide under its municipal code, regardless of property type. Menlo Park has adopted a Zero‑Emission Landscaping Equipment ordinance that bans gas‑powered leaf blowers and similar equipment in all zones, including commercial and public properties. Burlingame has likewise banned gas‑powered leaf blowers for all uses, including by commercial landscapers. These cities demonstrate that electric equipment is a viable replacement, that landscaping services adapt quickly, and that residents benefit from quieter neighborhoods and cleaner air. Enforcement is working – let’s build on it I want to sincerely thank Craig Hartley, Jonathan Lait, and Ed Shikada for the work that has brought Palo Alto to this point. Enforcement data, as of early December, shows: Gas leaf blower complaints filed in 2025: 763 Warnings issued: 232 Citations issued: 29 (I believe these are issued to property owners, rather than gardeners) While 29 citations may seem modest, they are significant. They show that enforcement is real, active, and credible – and that education paired with accountability does change behavior. Our neighborhoods are already quieter. Now that Palo Alto has invested in education, enforcement staff, and a fine framework that works, extending the ban to commercial properties would leverage that existing infrastructure at essentially no additional cost. A simple, powerful next step A citywide ban on gas leaf blowers would advance cleaner air, environmental sustainability, equity across neighborhoods, and peaceful enjoyment of property for all residents. What an extraordinary legacy this would be for 2026 and beyond – cleaner, quieter, healthier Palo Alto, achieved by simply closing an outdated loophole. Thank you for your leadership and for considering this request. Sincerely, Helene Grossman From:Tom DuBois To:UAC; Council, City Cc:Burton, Kaylee; Ah Yun, Mahealani Subject:Palo Alto FIber to the Home Date:Monday, January 5, 2026 10:00:13 AM Attachments:DuBois Letter on Fiber 01052025 (2).pdf CAUTION: This email originated from outside of the organization. Be cautiousof opening attachments and clicking on links. i Council and UAC members, I have followed with interest your recent discussions on the Palo Alto Fiber project. I stronglysupport the project, but corrective actions are needed for a successful rollout. A community- owned network has the potential to transform Palo Alto and be a long-lasting legacy for thecity. Please see my attached letter. I am happy to discuss this with any of you. Best, Tom This message needs your attention This is a personal email address. Mark Safe Report Powered by Mimecast Council and UAC Members, I am writing to share perspectives on the Fiber-to-the-Home (FTTH) project. The potential for a community-owned network to transform Palo Alto is significant, but the current trajectory of the project raises serious concerns. Specifically, recent UAC and finance committee meetings suggest a strategy that risks treating this competitive, new City venture like a monopoly utility. If the City proceeds with the proposed pricing and "pilot" strategy, the project is likely to face low take rates. This outcome would likely be interpreted as a lack of demand for municipal fiber, when in reality it would be a result of flawed business execution. To succeed, the City must pivot from a "cost-recovery" mindset to a "market-disruption" mindset. I can’t stress enough how important this is. Below are critical issues identified in the recent UAC proceedings and proposed solutions, supported by economic principles observed in successful launches like Chattanooga, TN, Longmont, CO, and Fairlawn, OH. 1. The Economics of Pricing: Volume Over Margin The Issue: Staff presented a maximum rate of $95/month for 1 Gbps. While this may cover costs on a per-subscriber basis at low volumes, it is strategically fatal. In a competitive market with incumbents like Comcast and AT&T offering promotional rates of $55–$80, a $95 price point will suppress demand. The Economic Reality: In fixed-network economics, the vast majority of costs are fixed (building the network, maintaining the plant), while the marginal cost of adding one more user or increasing their speed is near zero. ● High Price / Low Volume (Current Plan): Charging $95 might yield $1,140/year per user. If only 15% of homes sign up because the price is too high, the total revenue will fail to cover the massive fixed bond payments. ● Aggressive Price / High Volume (Proposed): Charging $50/month yields $600/year per user. However, if this aggressive pricing drives the "take rate" (market share) to 40% or 50%—common in successful muni builds—the total revenue is significantly higher. Recommendation: ● Adopt "Everyday Low Pricing" (EDLP): Follow the model of Sonic or NextLight (Longmont, CO). A flat rate of $50/month for 1 Gbps (or even 10 Gbps, as Sonic does) creates an irresistible value proposition. ● Simplify Tiers: Abandon complex "up-to" speeds. Offer one or two flagship tiers (e.g., 1 Gbps and 2GPS or higher) at low prices. This reduces marketing friction and operational complexity. ● Gigabit as Standard: Do not treat Gigabit as a luxury up-sell. In 2026, it is the baseline. 2. Marketing Strategy: A "Pilot" Must Be a Launch The Issue: The current plan involves a pilot of roughly 1,000 homes followed by a potential pause of 3–6 months to "evaluate data". Staff indicated they would not market "full bore" during this phase to save money. The Economic Risk: Pausing construction and marketing destroys momentum. In subscription businesses, Customer Acquisition Cost (CAC) skyrockets when you stop and start. If you tell early leads they must wait 6 months for an evaluation, they will sign 2-year contracts with Comcast, locking them out of your addressable market. Recommendation: ● Pre-Sales are Critical: Successful cities like Fairlawn, Ohio, achieved ~50% take rates by selling the service before trucks rolled. Use "Founding Member" discounts to lock in early adopters. ● Continuous Build: Do not pause. The "pilot" should be viewed simply as "Phase 1" of a continuous rollout. ● Sell on Values: Marketing must highlight what incumbents cannot: Privacy (no data mining), Symmetrical Speeds (critical for WFH), and Local Control. ● Create a movement: The city doesn’t have the same profit motive as competitors. Highlight that supporting Palo Alto Fiber supports City services residents love. 3. Comparative Rollout Examples: Speed to Market is Critical Private incumbents are already expanding service in Palo Alto. If the City’s rollout is slow, the market will be saturated before the City's network arrives. ● Chattanooga, TN (EPB): Chattanooga built its entire citywide network (passing 170,000+ premises) in roughly 2 years, rather than the planned 10 years, by leveraging smart grid grants and aggressive construction management. This speed allowed them to pre-empt incumbent upgrades and capture market share early. ● Longmont, CO (NextLight): Longmont completed its citywide buildout in approximately 3 years (2014–2017). They accelerated their schedule midway through because community demand was so high, realizing that a fast rollout drives higher take rates and faster payback. ● Fairlawn, OH (FairlawnGig): Fairlawn treated its rollout as a "movement," building out quickly to meet demand. They successfully achieved high take rates by avoiding pauses and continuously marketing to new neighborhoods as they came online. Recommendation: ● Accelerate Construction: Do not pause for 3–6 months after the pilot to "evaluate." As seen in Longmont, accelerating the build creates a flywheel of revenue and community excitement. ● Avoid "Pilot" Stagnation: A pilot should be merely "Phase 1" of a continuous build. Stopping construction sends a signal of uncertainty to residents who will then sign long-term contracts with Comcast or AT&T. Drop the idea of a pilot - this is an outdated idea and not the way to do a broadband rollout. Certainly analyze the data, but don’t stop the rollout while doing it. . 4. Operational Agility: Startup vs. Utility The Issue: The project faces utility-style delays, such as a one-year wait for a permit to install a pre-built hut (the purchase order was approved by Council in June, 2024). This is symptomatic of a large problem that the City Manager and Council need to address ASAP. Staff must be empowered for operational agility. We are at risk of blowing a major advantage Palo Alto has, an existing $20M+ in a fiber enterprise fund, that could be used to accelerate and jump start a successful venture. Instead, we are proceeding so cautiously we are at risk of draining our fiber fund with little to show for it, throttled by the slow utility pace of the grid modernization. You can’t manage these two businesses as one. Recommendation: ● Streamlined Permitting: The City Manager must ensure internal departments prioritize Fiber infrastructure. The project is competing against private entities that move fast; the City cannot be its own bottleneck. ● Pricing Flexibility: Council should approve a floor for pricing, not just a ceiling. Staff need the authority to react instantly to incumbent price drops without waiting for a Council meeting. Conclusion The benefits of a successful launch—financial returns for the city, market discipline for incumbents, and superior infrastructure for residents—are only achievable with high adoption. High adoption requires aggressive, disruptive pricing. I urge the Council to direct staff to revise the business plan with aggressive pricing (target $50–$60/gig), immediate "full bore" marketing, and a continuous build-out schedule.

Be cautiousof opening attachments and clicking on links. i Dear Mayor Lauing and Palo Alto City Council Members, I am writing as a 42-year-old native Bay Area resident and active member of the localsoccer community (PAASL) to urge the Council to maintain and resurface thesynthetic turf field at El Camino Park. As an adult player, the playing surface is a significant safety factor. I much preferplaying on turf because it provides a consistent, level surface. Unlike natural grassfields in high-use public parks, which frequently suffer from dangerous divots,mounds, and bare patches. Turf eliminates the tripping hazards that lead to sprainsand ligament injuries, which are a major concern for players in my age bracket. Furthermore, El Camino Park is a vital year-round resource. In Palo Alto, naturalgrass fields often require significant rest periods and must be closed during the rainyseason to prevent total destruction of the turf. Replacing this with grass wouldeffectively shut down our ability to stay active during the winter months and severelylimit the total hours the community can use the park. I ask that you prioritize the health, safety, and recreational needs of the thousands ofplayers who rely on this field every week by moving forward with the synthetic turfreplacement. Thank you for your time and for considering the perspective of the adult athleticcommunity.

Fiscal Year 2026 Mid-Year Fiber Expansion Update (DISCUSSION ### The item should have been an ACTION item, so that UAC could have voted on its advice to Council. 6:50 PM – 7:35 PM) Staff: Alexandra Harris ### Will Darren Numoto, the (part-time) acting Assistant Director of Utilities for the Fiber Utility, be available foranswering questions? ### Does the City still have an FTTP consultant? If so, will a representative be available for answering questions? (If not, why not?) Staff Report Staff Report: ### Sorry, no URL. Utilities Advisory CommissionStaff Report From: Alan Kurotori, Director UtilitiesLead Department: Utilities Meeting Date: January 7, 2026Report #: 2511-5445 TITLE Fiscal Year 2026 Mid-Year Fiber Expansion Update RECOMMENDATION This staff report and presentation are [for] discussion purposes only; no commission action is requested at this time. ### UAC should be able to take ACTION on this item, whether or not staff requests it in its staff report. EXECUTIVE SUMMARYThe City’s Fiber Enterprise Fund has been fiscally sustainable over the past 20 years. The City’s fiber network has proven to be a valuable investment for supporting internal City department communication needs and serving a limitedbase of commercial and institutional customers who connect to the City’s dark fiber backbone. ### Over the years, there have been a few residential customers. From a competitive perspective, the City’s licensing of dark fiber to end users is a service which is a unique offering and is not typically offered by retail internet service providers. Dark fiber service connections require businesses to obtain their own technical resources to maintain the electronic transmission equipment. Businesses can tailor their internal network configurations to meet bandwidth requirements for specific applications. Third party telecommunication service providers instead offer only “managed” network services to homes and businesses. On December 19, 2022, City Council directed staff to proceed with the Fiber Expansion Plan to implement the FiberRebuild project and Phase 1 of the Fiber-to-the-Premises (FTTP) project without debt-financing. Included in the Council’s motion was to a) maximize number of homes and businesses reached; b) consider promotional rates to increasesubscriptions (aka ”take rate”); c) define leading indicators and metrics to determine success; and d) recommend Council accelerate expansion if metrics are positive, including a potential bond to streamline construction and compressconstruction time as much as feasible (Staff Report #14800 [1] ). One ------ [1] Council Meeting December 19, 2022: Staff Report #14800: https://portal.laserfiche.com/Portal/DocView.aspx?id=46283&repo=r-704298fc ### This is the entire packet for Council's 12-19-22 meeting (460 pages). The staff report for Item 20 (FTTP) is on pages 258-284 (only 26 pages). Item No. 2. Page 1 of 5 --------------- of the primary goals of FTTP is to provide a competitively priced, local, high-speed internet option which may reduceprices and enhance customer experience compared with other available internet service providers. A pilot for the FTTP project was developed in collaboration with the grid mod pilot ### Council didn't direct staff to implement a FTTP pilot before deploying FTTP to all of Phase 1. That was staff's idea. and continues to advance, with fiber cable installation starting in December 2025. Completion of fiber construction in the pilot area and activation of the fiber hut at the Colorado substation is scheduled to be completed by Q1 2026. ### Does that mean that the hut will be functional and able to serve customers in the pilot area by 03-31-26? ### Once premises are passed, how fast can customers be connected? Starting when? In January 2026, the City anticipates launching a fiber internet website for customers to sign up in the pilot area. For potential customers outside the pilot area, they may register interest in future FTTP service when available. ### What will the people who register their interest get? ### Will the 740+ people who paid a $50 deposit to express their interest in FTTP be assumed still to be interested? Staff will return to the UAC and Council with data points, financials, and customer metrics once available from the pilot, aspart of determining the viability of Palo Alto Fiber prior to advancing Phase 1 expansion. ### For most FTTP systems, the take rate builds slowly over several years. But we don't want to wait several years before deciding whether to expand to all of Phase 1 and beyond. ### The take rate for the municipal FTTP network at Longmont, CO, was an exception. Its initial take rate was over 50percent. But that was because they offered 1 Gbps service at $49.95 per month FOR LIFE to residents who signed up within 3 months of when it was available in their area. Is staff thinking about offering something like that? BACKGROUNDIn December 2022, Council considered three options for a City-owned FTTP service and directed staff to proceed with the phased build approach. Under this approach, FTTP will be built out in selected areas of the city using $34 million fromthe Fiber Fund and $13 million from the Electric Fund, and the project will expand gradually from there to reduce the need for debt financing. Building the fiber backbone and FTTP (aka ”last-mile infrastructure”) to provide fiber broadbandinternet to the community required significant planning, coordination, communication and construction over 24 – 36 months. ### From Council's 12-19-22 decision to proceed until now is already more than 36 months. Staff recommended aligning the electric grid modernization pilot project with the FTTP pilot to help minimize utility engineering pole make-ready work, pole replacements, noise disruption, and construction activity in neighborhoods,which has been effective. ### On 12-19-22, Council directed staff to choose where to build Phase 1 based on a) lowest cost per premises passed, b) most interest from residents, and c) least competition from the incumbents. How carefully did staff follow that directivein choosing the pilot area? On June 16, 2025, Council approved a comprehensive broadband internet rate range and service package (Staff Report #2411-3776 [3] ), providing flexibility to structure rates for special promotions, in the initial pilot area, and in future areasas services are available, to enhance competitiveness in offering City fiber services. The initial rate range and service packages will be competitive with AT&T and Xfinity and will inform future phases and roll-outs. Recognizing the evolvingmarketplace, staff will learn from the pilot and incorporate new service delivery strategies. ### When will specific prices and plans be revealed, so that residents in the pilot area can decide whether or not to sign up? ANALYSIS Dark Fiber Licensing ### Dark fiber licensing is a completely different topic from FTTP. UAC should ask staff to agendize it for another time. ------ ### I didn't see a footnote [2]. [3] Council Meeting June 16, 2025: Staff Report #2411-3776:https://portal.laserfiche.com/Portal/DocView.aspx?id=187543&repo=r-704298fc Item No. 2. Page 2 of 5 --------------- Since COVID, the City‘s annual commercial dark fiber licensing revenues have declined from $3.4 million in FY 2020 to $2.3 million in FY 2025, primarily due to commercial customer relocations and consolidations through merger and acquisitions. ### When UAC considers the dark fiber utility (as a separate agendized item), it can dig into this in more detail. The number of customers on the legacy EDF-1 rates, which included annual CPI increases, has decreased, with mostremaining customers now on the fixed fiber mileage EDF-3 rate. Meanwhile, annual dark fiber licensing revenues from City departments remain relatively stable at $1.1 million in FY 2025. Staff is working on various activities to increase dark fiber licensing revenues. ### Are EDF-2 connection fees considered to be licensing fees? customers and support for future acquisition efforts. ### I'm not excited about hiring new consultants to do this. ### Years ago, when Magellan Advisors' John Honker was asked to predict the future revenues of the City's dark fiber network, he said it would be a lot more problematic than predicting the future revenues of FTTP. (I wish I remembered where and when he said it.) • Rebuild and expand congested fiber backbone segments, providing the necessary capacity for new dark fiberconnections. ### This sounds, potentially, like a very good idea, as an alternative to just building an entire brand-new dark fiber network. How much less than $25 million would this alternative cost? Why would some existing segments need to be"rebuilt"? • Evaluate and optimize operational frameworks to streamline and modernize processes. ### What does this mean really? • Engage marketing resources to advertise fiber services, ensuring clear communication of benefits and availability. ### What does this mean really? How will "marketing resources" prioritize the marketing of FTTP and dark fiber services? Fiber-to-the-Premises (FTTP) Staff recommends a simple, easy to understand initial promotional rate for internet service in the pilot area, offering twobroadband internet speeds. This strategic approach provides several key advantages. First, focusing on limited core package options simplifies the initial deployment and provisioning processes, allowing staff to grow in-house expertisewhile relying on contracted services to concentrate on efficient installations and customer onboarding. Second, this reduces complexity in our customer support efforts and marketing and outreach, enabling us to clearly communicate thevalue proposition of each plan and to focus on providing services. In a market where customers are often overwhelmed by numerous offerings, simplicity, transparency, and trust in the City can be significant differentiators. With Council-approved ranges for rates and packages, staff can quickly adapt offerings to target different customer segments. For the FTTP pilot, the City’s two residential service plans will be offered at 500 Mbps (Megabits per second) and 1 Gbps (Gigabitper second). ### What will the prices be? In fact, what will the Broadband Facts labels be? For example: https://mynextlight.com/broadband-labels/https://race.com/resources/articles/post/broadband-facts/?locationId=98028&customerType=B2C ### My intuition is that the 500 Mbps and 1 Gbps products are too similar to each other. ### Is the goal to maximize overall profitability? Or for one product to subsidize the other? ### How much more work would it be to offer several products? Surely most of the work of offering FTTP at all is indeploying the infrastructure. Will the offered products use the same hardware? The same PON split ratio? For most households, 500 Mbps speed sufficiently handles multiple users working or studying from home, entertainment streaming, online gaming, and large file downloads across multiple devices connected simultaneously ### Ultimately, that's for customers to decide. without connectivity lag. ### Every connection has some latency. The Broadband Facts label specifies typical latency. For some providers, thetypical latency varies by product. For example, residences on Chattanooga's municipal FTTP network can get https://epb.com/fi-speed-internet/4 ms at 300 Mbps, 1.8 ms at 1 Gbps, and 1.3 ms at 2.5 Gbps. Under the proposed rate plan, the City will have the flexibility to offer 2 Gbps and 5 Gbps service plans without having to seek separate Council approval to offer these speeds. The rate plan also applies to the additional equipment and ancillary services. In addition to the pilot area, staff is exploring opportunities to serve new multifamily residential developments (or multi-dwelling units, “MDUs”.) ### Is staff is looking at serving some new MDUs outside the pilot area as part of the pilot? If you pass an MDU, won't you necessarily also pass residences on the same street? So, isn't this equivalent to expanding the pilot area? Given that housing is one of the Council’s top priorities, staff have been actively engaging with MDU developers to gaugetheir interest in offering Palo Alto Fiber internet as another internet service provider for their new housing developments. FTTP construction costs for new developments are significantly lower than for Item No. 2. Page 3 of 5 --------------- existing facilities because costs are either assumed by the developers within the overall construction costs, or shared with the City and other communication providers. ### A more detailed staff report might further explain this hypothesis. Where have other munis used this approachsuccessfully? Most people think that MDUs cost MORE to serve per premises than single-family residences, but perhaps new MDUs owned by cooperative landlords could be an exception. FISCAL/RESOURCE IMPACTThe Fiber Fund has an ending fund balance of $33.6 million for FY 2025, which includes, but is not limited to, $17.4 million of rate stabilization, ### I think this fund, despite its name, has little or nothing to do with the purpose of stabilizing rates for the dark fiberutility. $13.1 million of commitments and reappropriations, ### Be specific. What commitments? What reappropriations? and $3 million loan to Wastewater Collection utility ### Is this on track to be repaid by June 2026? (Fiscal Year 2025 Annual Comprehensive Financial Report [5] ). ### Page 112. STAKEHOLDER ENGAGEMENTMost recently, on June 16, 2025, the City Council approved a new rate schedule for fiber broadband internet services. The rate structure includes a maximum price and allows flexibility for setting standard and promotional rates to remaincompetitive for Phase 1 customers. The maximum prices are competitive with non-promotional standard internet rates from AT&T and Xfinity. On June 19, 2023, the City Council approved the FY 2024 CIP Budget for the new FTTP project and the Grid Modernization for Electrification Project. Approval of the electrification project accelerated efforts to align electrification and fiber construction, impacting the Fiber Expansion Plan. On December 19, 2022, City Council directed staff to proceed with the Fiber Expansion Plan by implementing the Fiber Rebuild project ### I suppose this is referring to building a brand-new dark fiber network for $25 million, which wouldn't be used forFTTP. and Phase 1 of the FTTP project without debt financing. If the pilot and Phase 1 prove successful, Council would consider accelerating the expansion, with the possibility of using a bond to streamline construction and compress timeline to buildcitywide. Previously, on November 2, 2022, the UAC unanimously recommended building the fiber backbone and FTTP under a phased approach using existing funds. ### As I understand it, staff was NOT proposing to build the brand-new dark fiber network (a.k.a., fiber backbone) inphases, but rather ASAP, and for $25 million. The goal of the FTTP project is to provide citywide high-speed internet access to all residents and businesses in Palo Alto. If financially sustainable and deemed successful, the first phase of FTTP is intended to be a springboard for a citywide FTTP deployment.

As a nearby resident on Ramona Street who crosses here frequently, I have found thecurrent layout to be unsafe. As shown in the attached map, this intersection would greatly benefit from traffic control dueto: High Pedestrian Volume: It is directly adjacent to KinderCare, Peninsula PediatricDentistry, and Jewish Family & Children’s Services.

International Destinations. Favorite Theatres and Cities for the second quarter of the new century.

DAILY TMZ GOOGLE MEET Hosts Britney‘n Nicole, + Daniel Craig @6AM - 7AM https://meet.google.com/afo-uvrg-uwa 2.Washington is a core "Sun Ignited" program, …”Chain Reaction” initiative. Evolving from a previous mall-based environmental activity into a science- focused community project. It integrates retail, science education, and lifestyle objectives through local community centers in Washington and various cities. Retail and Science displays, the program transitions from the "Pick Something Up At The Mall" to more academic activities and commercial spaces. Retail, feature laboratory and science-based displays. “Science” is a good message to promote aimed at the general public. Mall Monuments campaign light up "Monuments" and "Find Your Center" Museum Partnerships City programs are linked to local museums and art movements, utilizing "art carts" and mini-storefronts. Health and Fitness focus on security, personal security, and outdoor activities like camping and hiking. Also learning yoga, and starting aerobics or physical training after the holidays. Gay Community Engagement Specific outreach includes organized gay hiking clubs and community-building activities. Build a network, drop the new people, stay in with the people you trust, and use your day-timer. Theatres & Movies Local movie theatres and movies themselves are magnets to commercial activity. Pop-Up Shops any occasion, appear as commercial additions. Quarterly Objectives and Personal Development Structured quarterly plans, beginning January 1st, outline specific personal professional goals. Social Exploration Objectives include "adding people to your circle," meeting with ex-partners to make friends, and visiting attractions and land. Business Timing: The primary business plan is scheduled to kick in approximately one-third of the way through the quarter. Pay attention to the business times. 3.Movies and Theatres New Every Week Local repertory movie theatres and movie palaces host a daily movie seance, weekly new schedule. Hosted by… celebrity movie characters and serving refreshments… January ‘Chain Reaction’ to ‘The Philadelphia Experiment’ February ‘Bullet Train’ to ‘Modern Romance’ March ‘Wall Street, The Natural’ to ‘Godzilla King of the Monsters’ The Christo movie theatre debuts it’s a wrap on the latest productions… Cities (13 new cities this quarter total of 28 individual cities and a total of 37 headed towards 166 cities this year… going international.) …cities awash in a cultural renaissance… After The LV (Las Vegas) Roll Out this edition adds Boston, Atlantic City, Nashville, Miami, Houston, Santa Fe (Los Alamos Labs), San Diego, Cincinnati, San Jose, Hawaii (South Pacific), London, and Florence and ROME, IT Hub cities …are a concept to organize activities for the entire region for “Sun Ignited” to shine on everybody including Detroit City, Las Vegas, Santa Fe (Los Alamos Labs) started in Washington D.C. ending up back in Las Vegas. 4.Movies and Television TMZ Sci-Fi and Mainstream television, and a daily host…new characters every week.

January is ”Chain Reaction” (a playlist and a calendar) Sci-Fi movies with upbeat and hopeful messages like “mankind will survive”. I like that too. Mainstream movies (network) the latest and greatest of everything. Like Terminator 2, the best so far. Yet Genesys is the latest evolution of the storyline. (featured movies “Chain Reaction, Star Trek, and Star Wars …Prometheus and Covenant, Rampage and Salvation.) February is ”EMI (Chain Reaction.2)” again Sci Fi with a positive message and Mainstream high production values television. Specific attention to stunning actors. Beyond the ordinary “Need to be seen, nice being seen, and I’ve seen it” …then you’ll forget the rest. (Featured movies …Philadelphia Experiment Battleship 2000, The Mask, Cable Guy, and More Fun With Dick and Jane … 2001: A Space Odyssey, Moonfall, Broadcast News.) March is ”Sun Ignited” from the upbeat side of Sci Fi to the serious world of Mainstream movies or missing russian drama, it’s Brad Pitt, Mainstream television, and the entertainment goes on. Entirely another quarter “in the machine” to play again. (Featured movies, then tax time april 1, fulls of the hill… Disclosure Anaconda, Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure, E.T. … Mr. & Mrs. Smith, The Greatest Showman, Godzilla King of the Monsters…”) This quarter's big focus point is criminally insane behaviour towards moviestars… 5.”Sun Ignited” Media and Distribution Platforms (All A.I.) The "Sun Ignited" project is a multi-platform digital media initiative and immersive experience centered on the evolution of the solar system. (Managed through) The "Chain Reaction" project kicks off a new quarter and, (it) integrates a wide array of media, including film, television, radio, and automated digital schedules.

Print: Wired magazine has featured "Sun Ignited" throughout the year, specifically highlighting the project's technological contributions (and who invented the cell phone “me”). Film and Original Content: "Sun Ignited" involves significant movie production and theatrical screenings of original material. Current Scripts and Movie Projects The project identifies several original movies and scripts currently in development Leadership and Innovation The technical and creative direction of the project is attributed to key figures and technological milestones: Greg McKenna: Recognized by Wired as the inventor of the cell phone and a pioneer in A.I. and internet technology Celebrity Involvement: The project frequently mentions collaborations or features involving Kelly and Mark, as well as John Travolta Automation: The system is described as being "all automated" through the first quarter of 2026.

The project is described as wrapping up as "nuclear fission sets in," transitioning the world into the "Chain Reaction". Don’t Tarry: The second quarter of the new century first Europe… then our watery planet, the sun drenched globe looks like just another green world, in a solar system inundated with energy… Web site address http://www.sunignited.com Playlists “Chain Reaction” https://youtube.com/playlist? list=PLEvGP6_ihOiT0WgPraoZJ1EEex6dhagyL&si=YPFKpcmnLe-nEwRT EMI (Chain Reaction.2) https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLEvGP6_ihOiTw28JSnZiDuO4d- h44msnL&si=v3y0fBz7TiLWqePR “Sun Ignited” https://youtube.com/playlist? list=PLEvGP6_ihOiTi7LH6vqUhpXMw3Ara6AJP&si=mxjQ5gsUbqqfcgNJ …$ From:Sun Ignited To:Musee de Cluny Paris France mathilde.fouillet@culture.gouv.fr;

Friends, this is just a quick note with the latest California/Nevada River Forecast Center (CNRFC) prediction for SanFrancisquito Creek from the coming storms (done 8:39 AM today, 31st -- see below). As before, the plot shows threeestimates of flows: Black Line: formal NOAA forecastGreen Line: mean flow prediction among ~30 different atmospheric physics models run on the dataColor Bands: Probability estimates for prediction uncertainties: gray, 0 - 5% chance; blue, 5 - 25% chance; lightyellow, 25 - 40% chance; and yellow, 40 - 60% chance. As you can see, the highest expected flow from the formal forecast should occur around 10:00 AM on the 3rd and runabout 300 CFS. Current uncertainties indicate that the maximum flow (with probability <5%) runs up to about 800 CFS. To put this in perspective, the gauge threshold for flooding at Pope-Chaucer bridge (capacity ~5,500 CFS) is shown withthe red horizontal line labeled 12.5 ft water surface elevation, corresponding to about 5,200 CFS at the USGS gauge. Thismeans that at this time the probability of flooding from SFC is very low and it appears that we have little to worry aboutfrom this storm. As always, we emphasize that future weather is hard to predict, the more so the further into thefuture we go. These forecasts may change and we need to stay alert.

Be cautious ofopening attachments and clicking on links. Dear Council,, In our maiden voyage, we’ve navigated a stormy year. We have balanced the imperatives of advancing bipartisan legislation to address our families’ affordability crisis with pivoting to confront the lawlessness, chaos, and corruption of this Administration. Throughout, we have remained focused on the long-term priorities that matter to all of our residents, regardless of political viewpoint, such as housing affordability, health care access, and resilience to wildfires, coastal erosion, and other climate impacts. In a deeply divided Congress, progress requires reaching across the aisle and working to find common ground. I spent much of my time engaging Republican colleagues interested in solutions, whether on the House Floor, in the elevator, or at the office gym. I’ll keep doing so. With you, we’ve advocated on Capitol Hill, connected with neighbors in every corner of our district, and laid a strong foundation for our work ahead in 2026. I hope this annual report gives you a sense of what we’re doing —and of the dedication that our tremendous team brings to our work. Despite the challenges, it has been my great honor to serve you and our community during this first year in Congress. I hope you'll follow along next year by subscribing to this newsletter. Onward!
