From:Patrick Butler To:Council, City Cc:Karen White Subject:Please Pull AMI Meters from the Consent Agenda Date:Monday, October 4, 2021 10:43:02 AM CAUTION: This email originated from outside of the organization. Be cautiousof opening attachments and clicking on links. Hon. Members of the Palo Alto City Council My wife and I are opposed to the action item on tonight's consent agenda to spend 17.1 million dollars for so-called "smart" (AMI) meters and an additional 1.3 million dollars for yetanother consultant and contractor to manage the project. As I remember the proposal mentions the saving of salaries for lower-paid meter readers yet also indicates that two new cityemployees and a supervisor would be hired to interface with the contractor. The funds for this significant project would come from the "Electric Special Project Reserve", which I assume has come from millions of dollars in overcharges to customers from the gridprice as we have watched our electric bills climb close to PG&E rates from the lower prices we paid just a few years ago. I have lived with a conversion from analog to AMI meters in a home that also had natural gasfor forced-air heating and AC, water heating and our stove, and the electric bill tripled. We tried to shift our usage to times when the rates were lower, but the bill just dropped to doublewhat it was before the new meter was installed. I presume that you know that the CA Public Utilities Commission provides for residents to opt out of these so-called "smart" meters and continue with a flat rate. There is a one-time chargeof $75 ($10 for lower income) and then a monthly rate of $10 ($5 for low income) and that monthly fee expires after three years: https://www.pge.com/en_US/residential/save-energy-money/analyze-your-usage/your-usage/view-and-share-your-data-with-smartmeter/smartmeter-updates/smart-meter-opt-out-program.page We will certainly take that option to keep our meter, and most of our neighbors afterdiscussing the subject indicated they will do so as well. You will need to keep some of those meter readers and might want to make sure you are not committed to buying all of those30,076 meters. If the city really wants to pull in some extra funds you might look at the rates charged for our commercial customers - they are lower than the residential rates and the more you use the lessyou pay. There was a trial run of “smart" meters conducted by Palo Alto that ended in 2019. As I remember, there were numerous complaints from those that tried the program on a volunteerbasis and who, I believe, were more inclined to make the sacrifice than those who you will try to force into the system. I understand you want to push electric power usage to off-peak times but the only way to dothis is by hurting customers and charging them significantly more for power when they want to use it. I would guess that this item is on the consent agenda as I have the feeling that thiswill not be a popular program when you switch on those new high rates in 2025. Last, these new high electric rates will hit just as Palo Alto is planning to phase out the use of natural gas for residents (not the city or commercial customers) and, it is proposed, end theservice in 2025. Too bad we just tore up all of our streets installing new gas lines. So, our residents will lose natural gas in a symbolic gesture to end global warming while paying hugenew electric bills.

It’s our beautiful Fall season here in Palo Alto, and we are already talking about the Holidays and the LVWPA Winter Luncheon. Also October marks a decrease in the number of COVID cases, thanks to our county and city persevering to carry out the vaccination program. I mention this because many have asked when we can have in- person and indoor meetings again. As long as the state mandate for masking is in effect, we can meet outdoors, but not yet inside homes or public places. After nearly 18 months of Zoom meetings, the Board had a chance to see and talk with each other at what was described as a “very successful” retreat two weeks ago. We had many lively conversations discussing ways the League has influenced positive outcomes in our city. Look for action-oriented items regarding campaign finance reform and a successful resolution to the gun storage issue. The League has been successfully engaged in discussions for several months regarding our other 2021-22 priorities such as Natural Resources, Housing and Transportation, and Civics Education. County Redistricting is another big item, and Raven Malone is on the County Advisory Citizens Commission for District 5, Joe Simitian’s district. She will have an update at our next Board meeting • 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 regarding their progress.

The Act expands the right to vote, decreases the influence of money in politics, and curbs partisan gerrymandering. The Board of Directors of LWVUS voted to support filibuster reform, and as necessary, the elimination of the filibuster. In a case brought by the LWVUS and other plaintiffs, a federal court has blocked proof of citizenship as a voting requirement in Alabama, Georgia, and Kansas. The League argued that requiring documentary proof of citizenship 0 0 0 would deprive thousands of voters of their fundamental right to vote because many American citizens do not have a passport or birth certificate. State LWV of California and partners filed an amicus letter in support of the California Citizens Redistricting Commission's emergency motion to extend California's redistricting deadline to January 14th, 2022. LWVC supported the signing of the housing bills by Governor Newsom: Senate Bill 8 to extend the Housing Crisis Act of 2019 for more housing production; Senate Bill 9 to make it easier for large lots to be split for new housing, including being exempt from California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and California Coastal Act hearings, as well as more easily conforming to local zoning laws; and Senate Bill 10 to allow multiple unit housing to be placed on single-family and other zoned areas without CEQA approval as long as they are near transit or high traffic areas. These bills are designed to increase housing, speed up the process to approve multi-family housing, and to alter the approval process for new housing. Local The LWV Palo Alto Board received a report from its Local Campaign Finance Task Force and approved recommending certain reforms which would expand citizen participation in local government and lessen the appearance of undue influence by donors. These policy goals reflect state and national LWV positions on campaign financing reform. - Lisa Ratner, 2nd Vice President and Advocacy Chair LWVPA is on Instagram and Twitter!

From:Palo Altans for Sensible Zoning To:Council, City Subject:Objective Standards Date:Monday, October 4, 2021 12:50:15 AM Attachments:image002.png CAUTION: This email originated from outside of the organization. Be cautious of opening attachments andclicking on links. October 3, 2021 Dear City Council Members, We believe it critically important to express to you our concerns over the new, proposed Objective Standards, the need to have morecommunity involvement, and a detailed analysis of how these new standards will affect our entire community. To quickly summarize, we hope you will focus on 7 key issues or areas which we believe are deeply concerning to us: 1. There is no explanation of the impacts of these proposed new standards on neighbors and our City. Which specific rulesare being removed or modified? What is being lost or changed? The staff report fails to provide any details on the impacts ofremoving these criteria or even have a public discussion on these impacts in a manner that residents, Council, or others canreview. 2. The new standards clearly eliminate meaningful privacy protections for residents. For example – the current law statesthat new projects must “respect privacy of neighboring structures, with windows and upper floor balconies positioned sothey minimize views into neighboring properties.” The new standards eliminate the above statement and replace it with only“a landscape screen that includes a row of trees with a minimum 1 tree per 25 linear feet and continuous shrubberyplanting”. It doesn’t say anything about respecting privacy or how those trees or shrubbery will prevent views from a secondor third floor of a building. 3. Several new loopholes – buried inside -- are created by the new standards. Table 1 on page 111 says that the newstandards will apply to a number of zones, but there is huge exemption. Largely, commercial properties. Instead, thesecommercial properties will be able to avoid the Objective Standards and be only asked to comply with a series of very weak“Intent Statements”, which are located inside the chapter of the Objective Design Standards. So, to put it simply, if acommercial building is less than 2/3rds residential, they don’t have to follow the Objective Standards and instead just the“Intent Statements”. 4. The staff proposal favors upzoning for commercial development. The proposed ordinance would allow more large-scalehousing by commercial developers without acknowledging that this will raise land values and make it harder – not easier – tobuild the affordable housing we need in our City. 5. The new standards would remove protections from multi-family residences, thus discriminating against the sameresidents they are trying to attract. Example – the current Context-Based Criteria states, “Where new projects are builtabutting existing lower-scale residential development, care shall be taken to respect to scale and privacy of neighboringproperties . . . “. The new standards totally eliminate this sentence and says, “When a building abuts a side and/or rearproperty line with a RE, RMD, R-1, or R-2 zoned parcel or existing single-family use, the building shall break down theabutting façade by . . .”. This means that some people living in RM-20, RM-30, or RM-40 could be losing their rights andprotections. It’s simply unconceivable that these residents should be discriminated against by our City and they should betreated in the exact same way as other residents. It is critically important that this be changed. 6. The new standards are poorly-written and could eventually lead to being unenforceable. One example – in the proposedObjective Design Standards at 18.24.050(b)(1), page 136, it says, “When the height of the subject building is more than 20feet above the average height of an “adjacent” building an upper floor step back shall start within 2 vertical feet of the heightof the adjacent building.” However, the law doesn’t specific what “adjacent” means, so isn’t that up to staff to interpret? Acourt could one day rule that this law requires too much staff interpretation and consider all the objective standards invalid. 7. Lastly, these standards were developed by not treating residents as “stakeholders” too. In the staff report, page 120, it says, “On January 22nd, March 23rd, . . ., staff sent an email to a wide range of architects and consultants that have workedwith the City in the recent past on development projects to solicit their comments on the draft objective standards.” It’s ashame that Staff did not consider that residents might also be interested or be “key stakeholders” as well in this process. It’sunfortunate that developers and contractors that the City has “worked with” are treated as their primary stakeholders andnot residents. We sincerely hope you will review these 7 points and truly take the time necessary to change and reformulate these objectivestandards. It is critical to all Palo Altans and is not something left to Staff to decide. Thank you. Respectfully, Palo Altans for Sensible Zoning Palo Altans for Sensible Zoning PO Box 305, Palo Alto, CA 94302 http://sensiblezoning.org From:Melanie Grondel To:Council, City Cc:Melanie Grondel Subject:Oblective Standards Date:Sunday, October 3, 2021 11:49:23 PM CAUTION: This email originated from outside of the organization. Be cautiousof opening attachments and clicking on links. Dear Mayor Dubois and Council Members, The Objective Standards package is a hot topic of conversation in the community,accompanied by much confusion. Below are my concerns. As I understand it, the Objective Standards will streamline the approval process for multi- family housing development. Recently a package of State Laws, sponsored by the legislators Wiener and Atkins, that includes but is not limited to SB 9, and SB10, has been added to existing legislation thatincludes SB35, for the purpose of facilitating housing development. To my great regret these new laws do not focus in any way on developing affordable housing. I urge you to facilitate the development of affordable housing in every way you can. In addition livability is of key importance for all residents whether they live in the newmultifamily housing or live with the multifamily housing as neighbors, all need the benefit of green in de form of trees, plants and open space such as parks. Objective Standards need to keep our city livable for all. It is my undedtanding that if a multifamily project exceeds the Objective Standards it will be returned for approval to the ARB according to the regular process. I am concerned that office development included in many housing development projects willincrease the amount of jobs and thereby contribute to new and increased RHNA demands for the next Element. This way we end up in endless games of housing development allocations,never getting ahead but remaining under the gun to accommodate developers and the investment community demanding to build multifamily housing at market rate but not asaffordable housing. I did listen in on the Objective Standards discussion at the PTC, and was struck by a lack of clarity in the Staff proposal. At one point Staff maintained that changing a sentence forstylistic reasons was necessary to "clean up the code", while the Commisioners perceived a significant change in policy. This pertained to the 150 ft required between a highrise andsingle family houses. Clarity is extremely important. In particular when the frequent use of the ministerial method of approval that bypassesneighborhood notification and input, will be felt as a significant sacrifice by a great many homeowners. Therefore I urge the Council to improve communications with the residents on the subject ofObjective Standards. Thank you very much for your consideration.

Be cautiousof opening attachments and clicking on links. FYI: can’t confirm if my piece from 2005 was actually published by the Daily News Who let the Dogs Out! Dear Editor: Thank you for the article by Luke Stangel highlighting abuses of the citizenry by the PAPD’s canine unit. And for exposing, from the police department's own data, the disproportionate targeting of African-Americans and other minorities by the canine unit of this city's notoriously out-of-control police department (Police dog policy is reviewed for council, Palo Alto Daily News, Jan 7, 2005). As the City manager's report, dated 1/10/05, on the canine unit notes: canine units in Palo Alto are assigned to evening and night shifts, suggesting that much of the abuse of this unit occurs under the cover of darkness which only minimal opportunity for public exposure. As such, to prevent future abuses and ongoing racial targeting by this unit close monitoring is a necessity. The alternative banning canines unit altogether, except for rescue purposes, should be strongly considered. Certainly, pending a close review of the canine unit by an outside agency, FBI, Department of Justice, and hard evidence that the department has remedied its overall problem of racial profiling, the City Manager should order an immediate moratorium on the use of canine units in Palo Alto. Given the recent history of Chief Johnson thumbing her nose at any serious suggestions for reforming police practices in her department, this may be the only way to get her attention.

MY OPINION PIECE RE THE TEXAS ANTI-ABORTION LAW On May 19, 2021, Texas Governor GregAbbott signed SB 8 into law, effectivelybanning abortion when an ultrasound candetect a “fetal heartbeat” any time afterthe first six weeks of pregnancy. Ratherthan relying on the state to enforce thislaw, the Texas legislature did an end-runaround the constitutional mandate of Roe v. Wade by empowering private citizens to do the Lone Star State’s dirty work. Under SB 8, “Any person may bring a civil action against any person who knowingly engages in conduct that aids or abets the performance or inducement of an abortion[.]” And should that person prevail in the civil action, “the court shall award statutory damages in an amount of not less than $10,000,” plus attorney’s fees and costs of the litigation, all of which must be paid by the losing side. This means that the ride-share driver who transports a pregnant woman to a clinic, the person who generously pays for a Texas-prohibited abortion, the person who accompanies her pregnant friend to a medical facility, or the parents who arrange for their daughter’s Texas-forbidden abortion are all potential defendants in civil lawsuits that can be filed up to six years after the alleged aiding and abetting occurred. The similarity between SB 8 and the Fugitive Slave Act of 1850 is as striking as it is frightening. Both weaponize private individuals to enforce flagrantly unconstitutional laws, and both impose punishment on those who fail to comply. Masterminded by Senators Henry Clay and Stephen Douglas, the Fugitive Slave Act was one of five bills in the Compromise of 1850, created to resolve disputes over slavery in the country’s new territories. The Act not only directed federal officials to seize black people simply on the claim that they were runaways but imposed a $1,000 fine for anyone who refused to make an arrest. The law also mandated that private citizens must aid and assist in the arrests of the presumed runaway slaves. Additionally, anyone who “knowingly and willingly” obstructed or prevented anyone from arresting the fugitive faced a fine of $1,000 and six months’ imprisonment. The first victim of the Fugitive Slave Act was James Hamlet, a free Black man who resided in Brooklyn with his wife and three children while working as a porter in Manhattan. He was arrested on Gustavas Brown’s claim that Hamlet had run away from Brown’s mother’s home in Baltimore. His protestation that he had been born a freed person notwithstanding, Hamlet was forcibly taken to the Baltimore Slave Market and sold. Associate Justice Sotomayor’s dissent in the SB 8 case in which she wrote that the law was “clearly unconstitutional under existing precedents” and “a breathtaking act of defiance — of the Constitution[,]” could just have easily applied to the Fugitive Slave Act of 1850. But what happened to James Hamlet gives hope to all concerned about the protection of abortion rights. Hamlet’s freedom was purchased for $800 ($28,000 in today’s dollars) by his Brooklyn neighbors. His capture and subsequent community- sponsored emancipation became a rallying cry against the Fugitive Slave Act, inspiring abolitionists to call for residents in the Free States to ignore the law and to assist fugitives in their escapes to freedom. Thereafter, Vermont enacted the Habeas Corpus Law establishing a judicial process to defend captured fugitives. Abolitionist Luther Lee, a Methodist pastor in Syracuse, New York defied the law by publicly writing in 1855, “I never would obey it. I had assisted thirty slaves to escape to Canada during the last month. If the authorities wanted anything of me, my residence was at 39 Onondaga Street. I would admit that and they could take me and lock me up in the Penitentiary on the hill[.]” That same year, the Wisconsin Supreme Court declared the Fugitive Slave Act unconstitutional, the only state court to do so, even though four years later, the U.S. Supreme Court would overturn it. Local juries refused to convict defendants accused of violating the Act. And, of course, there was fugitive Harriet Tubman who, with her famous battle cry, “We out!”, courageously defied the law as she led the enslaved to freedom in the North. Resistance to SB 8 has already begun. Twenty businesses and organizations, such as Bumble, Match Group and the Buckle Bunnies Fund, are creating relief funds to “aid and abet” women seeking abortion services outside of the state. Uber and Lyft will cover legal fees of their drivers sued under SB 8.

LaDoris Cordell speech at MV Abortion Rights Protest Oct 2 in MV---inspirational event Date: Sun, Oct 3, 2021 at 12:02 AMSubject: text of Judge Cordell's Opinion piece looks like it is similar or same as her speech yesterday. MY OPINION PIECE RE THE TEXAS ANTI-ABORTION LAW On May 19, 2021, Texas Governor GregAbbott signed SB 8 into law, effectivelybanning abortion when an ultrasound candetect a “fetal heartbeat” any time after thefirst six weeks of pregnancy. Rather thanrelying on the state to enforce this law, theTexas legislature did an end-run around theconstitutional mandate of Roe v. Wade by empowering private citizens to do the Lone Star State’s dirty work. Under SB 8, “Any person may bring a civil action against any person who knowingly engages in conduct that aids or abets the performance or inducement of an abortion[.]” And should that person prevail in the civil action, “the court shall award statutory damages in an amount of not less than $10,000,” plus attorney’s fees and costs of the litigation, all of which must be paid by the losing side. This means that the ride-share driver who transports a pregnant woman to a clinic, the person who generously pays for a Texas- prohibited abortion, the person who accompanies her pregnant friend to a medical facility, or the parents who arrange for their daughter’s Texas-forbidden abortion are all potential defendants in civil lawsuits that can be filed up to six years after the alleged aiding and abetting occurred. The similarity between SB 8 and the Fugitive Slave Act of 1850 is as striking as it is frightening. Both weaponize private individuals to enforce flagrantly unconstitutional laws, and both impose punishment on those who fail to comply.

Be cautiousof opening attachments and clicking on links. 10/19/2003 Introduction and Background. “Democracies Die Behind Closed Doors” Detroit Free Press v. Ashcroft, (2002) 303 F. 3d 681 Dear District Attorney George Kennedy: As promised I’m writing you regarding my exclusion from Judge Thomas Hansen’s courtroom on Monday, September 29, 2003. On that date, I was scheduled to attend a meeting withother members of the Coalition for Justice and Accountability, an ad hoc committee formedin response to the police shooting of Bich-Cau Thi Tran on July 13, 2003. I’m sure the irony of this situation is not lost on you. That is, that the judge responsible forsigning off on an open and fair grand jury proceeding, Thomas Hansen, summarily depriveda member of the Coalition, formed in large part to maximize public oversight of theseproceedings, an opportunity to attend the meeting without even a pretense of due process. I had been working with the coalition as a citizen advocate based on my concern that thiscase raised grave community concerns re: the circumstance under which Ms. Tran waskilled and based on my long-standing interest and concern that a pattern exists across thiscountry, including in Santa Clara County, that too often police killings and other forms ofpolice violence go unprosecuted. I have for many years observed that the police are often treated with prosecutorial kidgloves and that their alleged crimes are often not pursued with the same enthusiasm,aggressiveness, or expenditure of resources that would apply to a similar criminal allegationagainst an ordinary citizen. In fact one of the reasons I supported your initial candidacy for District Attorney was theinterest you showed regarding the issue of the disproportionate police killings of membersof the African American community across this country. I’m certain you remember ourconversation in that regard despite the passage of many years. As a member of the Coalition, I had attempted to provide my support and assistance which includes, in addition to my past advocacy to improve police practices in this county, my many years of experience as a criminal defense attorney. In preparation for the meetingwith Judge Hansen, I attended a meeting of the Coalition on Friday night September 26.The meeting took place over several hours and included among other subjects discussionof the upcoming meeting with Judge Hansen. During the weekend prior to the meeting with Judge Hansen, I completed several hours ofresearch on grand jury proceedings in hope that I could ask, if necessary, some relevantquestions of Judge Hansen. My intent was to ensure that our Coalition could betterunderstand the upcoming open grand jury proceeding in the Tran case and to ensure thatthe Coalition and the public they represent were as fully informed as possible regarding theprocess. When I arrived at Judge Hansen’s chambers for the meeting on September 29, his bailiff,Tony Estrada, advised me that I could not enter the meeting and that I needed to wait tospeak with Richard Konda, the head of our Coalition. Mr. Konda then stepped out ofchambers and advised me that Judge Hansen did not want me at the meeting. I stated to Mr. Konda that I did not know Judge Hansen personally and to my knowledgehad never appeared in his courtroom and as such there would be no reason to exclude mebased on prior contact. Mr. Konda stated he had advised Judge Hansen that I was amember of the Coalition but Hansen continued in his insistence that he did not want me atthe meeting. I have enclosed an e-mail from Mr. Konda, that I discovered upon returninghome on September 29, expressing Judge Hansen’s desire to exclude me from themeeting. Prior to leaving the courthouse, I advised bailiff Estrada that I would be calling JudgeHansen later in the day in an attempt to speak with the judge re: the reason for myexclusion. I in fact did phone later that day but advised bailiff Estrada that I did not think itwould be productive for me to speak with Judge Hansen. Instead, I provided my homemailing address to bailiff Estrada and requested that he pass it on to Judge Hansen with therequest that he send me a written explanation of his action. To this date, October 19, 2003,I have received no written or other communication from Judge Hansen. Prior to the September 29 meeting, I was one of the members of the Coalition who met withDan Nishigaya of your office with the intent of expressing my concern re: the upcomingproceedings and to ask appropriate questions designed to learn as much as possible abouthow the Tran case would be handled and to point out our concerns as a Coalition. I think ifyou were to inquire with the others present at the meeting that you would find that allmembers of the Coalition, including myself, participated in this meeting in a veryprofessional manner. The Importance of Citizen Advocates in a Democracy I think it is fair to say that the criminal justice system relies on public input on numerousissues from a wide variety of citizen advocates and citizen-based groups/organizations. Allof which play an essential role in allowing the community to have a say in theimplementation of community standards in our local criminal justice system. In fact, suchadvocates play a fundamental role in shaping policy in the criminal justice system. It can beargued that such advocacy groups and individuals play at least as important a role inshaping policy as a judge, an elected district attorney, public defender, etc. As an example, but surely not exhaustive, we have groups advocating for strongerpunishment – the movement for the three-strikes-law pushed by citizens after the PollyKlass case. Similarly, there have been citizen groups working to amend the three-strikeslaw so as to ensure that only those who have been convicted of serious or violent offenses suffer the consequence of this law. Other groups include Mothers Against Drunk Driving, numerous advocacy organizations working to curb domestic violence, advocacy groups determined to protectvictims/defendants accused based on false or fabricated evidence or implanted memoriesof child molestation. Citizen advocates for harsher drugs laws and groups opposed to thewar on drugs altogether. Citizen advocates pushing to expand the reach of the deathpenalty and those on the other side seeking to abolish the death penalty The list of citizenadvocates just within the narrow range of the criminal justice system goes on and on. The same applies to advocates in the broader area of civil rights and civil liberties. You,George Kennedy, our District Attorney, if my memory serves me correct, are a long-timemember of one of America’s best-known civil rights advocacy groups the NAACP. Imagine if you might for a moment the impact of Judge Hansen agreeing to meet with sucha group on an important criminal justice/civil rights issue and then deciding to exclude oneof its members from the meeting without stated reason or due process. This would betotally unacceptable. “The First Amendment, the Supreme Court has said, is designed to protect a robust public debate, and if the government can keep out persons who espouse disfavored ideas, our opportunity to hear and consider those ideas through the direct personal exchange will be diminished. More broadly, excluding people for their ideas is contrary to the spirit of political freedom for which the United States stands.” Enemy Alien: Double Standards and Constitutional Freedoms in the War on Terrorism by DavidCole attorney and professor at Georgetown University Law Center, page 65 The government and certainly our public officials/judges should do nothing to abridge theright of citizens to exercise free speech and or to discourage the people in the exercise oftheir right to petition the government for a redress of grievances. Surely the business of the Coalition for Justice and Accountability represents one of thepurest forms of First Amendment activity, citizens joining together to exercise free speechand more specifically to redress grievances in connection with a matter of utmostcommunity importance, the Tran case. In order to act upon their rights, the Coalition requested access to its courts and to theofficial most directly accountable to the public vis-à-vis the upcoming grand juryproceedings. The Presiding Judge of the Superior Court by his actions in unilaterallyexcluding one of its members not only violated the civil rights of Mr. James but also theentire coalition and the community they represent. Conclusion I’m hopeful once you’ve reviewed this matter you will consider having your Public IntegrityDivision conduct an investigation of this matter and if appropriate filing charges againstJudge Hansen and or convening a civil grand jury to consider the removal of Judge Hansenfrom office or other appropriate sanctions. I look forward to your response. Sincerely, Aram James 832 Los Robles Ave Palo Alto, Ca 94306 (650) 424-1249 abjpd1@juno.com P.S.

Be cautious of opening attachments and clicking on links. ________________________________ I assume the City considers library usage a meaningful metric for determining whether or not to keep a library open. Unfortunately, the current hours of the College Terrace branch are designed to assure limited usage, making usage a misleading metric. Having the CT library open only eight hours per week (1:00 p.m. - 4:00 p.m. on Thursdays and Fridays) eliminates groups of would-be users. Please re-visit this. The way things are trending with library hours and retail and the elimination of the shuttle, the City is encouraging vehicle usage. That runs contrary to S/CAP and adds to circulation and parking problems. Any chance of the City getting into synch with regard to these issues?

Be cautious of opening attachments and clicking on links. ________________________________ Palo Alto seems determined to mess with programs that work. And waste valuable Staff time in the process of doing that. The report on this item is a bit mind-boggling. As I read it I couldn’t help but wonder if it was deliberately written to discourage scrutiny. Using numbers or letters to delineate key points would have been more helpful than the use of bullet points so that one could reference a specific point. The third bullet in one section references virtual permit options. Is the use of a virtual program really an option? Can residents instead opt to continue with the physical sticker and hang tags for guests? Transitioning to a virtual permit parking program leaves wide open potential for rampant abuse by those who do not own a permit to park in a particular area but choose to park there anyway because it is convenient for them. The physical tags are an immediate indictor that a car is legitimately parked in a given area. When a street is fully parked, that indicator is important. A consistent argument in the Staff Report on this is that the virtual program is better. The report specifically states that the virtual approach will “streamline operations for staff”. While complicating it for residents? How are violations - which can easily become problematic - to be known? Cars obviously won’t explode if parked where they ought not to be parked, so how does a virtual program maintain the protections achieved by the existing RPPP? How often and how do the license plate readers get read? What is the additional cost associated with that? Will fees increase so as to maintain the required revenue-neutrality of the program so that costs to operate do not exceed the fees charged? How is the license plate reader program limited so as to be constitutional? About guest parking - the existing program that requires a hang tag works perfectly well. Requiring residents to go on line and register a guest’s vehicle is onerous. Frankly, beyond paying for an annual permit, I cringe at the thought of having to access a City website for anything to do with parking. I base this on problems experienced with the utility website. What safeties will be built into the proposed program to assure that permit holders are not fined b/c the website was not working as it should? And the idea that residents may have to register guests online is offensive. Very Big Brother. Tech isn’t always the answer, as we recently learned with regard to the train track monitoring system. I hope Council will send this proposal back to Staff for serious revision. Or scrap it altogether.

Jim Hart in the 1990'swas a pedophile in the city of Newark,CA. Jim Hart is violent agressive and wrongful. Jim Hart has cohorts who adjust his behavorial habitual aggressions to make him adapt to societyto work and live a normal life in a leadership role whereas those around him aren't vocal enough to describe his habitual aggressions. Diva Lee aka Diva Jobs argues that DamonGuitzweiler had been her friend and acquainted with her other friends such as Steven Carrillo and his wife Airforce military Cadet Monica Carrillo. Diva argues about their family projectsas setting up a retail store and other family friendly outings and social events which allowed our friendship to grow closer. Notice how everything was shut down whereas Diva wasn'tallowed to share personal information towards the homicde cases of Damon Guitzweiler and or Monkica Carrillo and others similar. If information was taken it was covered up or hiddenwhereas blacklisted "Do not talk or share information with Dilma Coleman aka Diva Lee aka Diva Jobs" law enforcement agents including law enforcement detectives including the SFFBI would avoid, threatened and have psychological evaluations used to throw a charge of 5150 on Dilma Coleman aka Diva Lee..to challenge threatened for her to only use the nameDilma Coleman. All SF FBI agents insist that Dilma give them insight to crack their cases which has the greatest reward money or they blacklist Dilma not to solve them and in the pasteach police report etc has been Solicited for other things with the Netflix community who puts together stories for TV documentary based on truth etc. The Boogaloo's law enforcementagents affiliated with the past California Governor Gavin Newsom,Jerry Brown etc including President Obama, and Trump have hacked previous employment records verification codeswhereas the Boogaloo's insits that Dilma Coleman aka Diva Lee aka Diva Jobs never had credentials in law enforcement and they argue it chasing law enforcement agents to trap DivaLee aka Dilma Coleman into a search and sezuires based on a restraining order Daryl Bryant (former abusive boyfriend who manipulated by the amounts of songwritings and real estateownership Diva had produced yet it's stolen and used by the Boogaloo's movements) placed on Dilma Coleman etc. Jim Hart has the ability to tap into an individuals energies like anoccult therapist and manipulate the individuals to respond from a weaker position as if the individuals is not able to articulate to disagree with Jim Hart. Diva Lee aka Diva Jobsdescribes a brief description of Jim Hart whereas she is Victimized trapped by Jim Hart. Diva doesn't go into deeper analysis with greater imagery of the assualts Jim Hart uses or somethinglike his cohorts use when in contact with Diva Lee aka Diva Jobs trapped in the name of Dilma Coleman. In fact, the name calling is also a very long habitual behavorial agressionstowards Diva Lee aka Diva Jobs trapped in the name Dilma Coleman which is always misspelled and mispronounced. Argue it. Dilma Coleman had been kidnapped from aresidential neighborhood in Newark CA yet living at 6229 Thomas Ave Newark CA with Ronald & Cynthia in the 1980's to the 1990's Argue it. In that home resided Craig & MartinaRobinson. Jim Hart,Laurie Smith and Jeff Rosen and others in law enforcement frequently visited several homes in area of Newark CA. Why? To be among the wealthy families whohad investments properties in that area of Newark CA. Argue it. Diva Lee aka Diva Jobs was trapped by Jim Hart? Why? Diva Lee aka Diva Jobs was a talented girl(Psychic medium, child italian opera singer )..with abilities to communicate withenergies from the deceased.Diva could recall information about the individuals when they were alive even though she never met them and was able to sing songs their living relativeswould recognize. In fact, there were TV shows recorded in Los Angeles CA."Touch by an Angel" and other shows for Paranormal Investigations. The show had a host who acts as if hecould communicate with the deceased loved ones in the audience. During the show the host would randomly select individuals in the audience and begin to tell them a story of thedeceased loved ones, their desires they didn't get to accomplish, their favorite songs, their aspirations for their loved ones to achieve and or something like a legacy or legal businesstransactions to the family of the deceased to focus on or continue to express a plan the deceased relatives had for their living relatives. The guests went thru a series of questions andhad to give up valuable information about their careers etc. Jim Hart would collect money intended for Diva Lee. Jim Hart has corrupt behaviors to insult, verbally abuse,Sexual abuse,psycho analysis That is false yet it's Psycho analysis of being Victimized by Jim Hart. Information gathered from individuals who appeared at those tV shows was used in corrupt schemes for life insurance policy, car insurance and other things mainly Solicited for otherlive audience shows etc. . The guests in the audience were moreover con artists or vigilantes, criminals who had a great deal of law enforcement contacts thru their bad deeds. Jim Hart andother corrupt individuals in law enforcement agencies in California and or across the U.S had used their police report information and or files to solitict guests to those LA shows etc. Therewas oftentimes lots of drug use and alcohol tobacco products in the parking lots and lots of sex used products and ripped up clothing. Jim Hart would gather those things into a duffle bag andscattering those items to use against the guests who appears on the show or went away from the show into other areas towards the jurisdiction where Jim Hart worked. Oftentimes childrenwere targeted and used to stir up other issues of involuntary necessities. What's Jim Hart's favorite insults on Diva Lee? Jim Hart loves to call Diva aka Dilma Coleman names like delusional schizophrenic..those who use this terminology are in a cult andthe name calling stirs up their powers in sorcerery hypnotism. Argue it. Jim Hart is a crazy Raggedy Ann and Andy doll on a scary movie. Argue it. In fact, Jim Hart had removed aRaggedy Ann doll from underneath a deceased baby girl who later was buried in a backyard and later left the doll there are a peacesake. Jim had focused on trying to make haunted thingsas if his hobby was to create items for Winchester Mystery House or something like create an haunted items or make expensive items haunted so the owner would get rid of them or sell it ata low price.. Argue it. That Raggedy Ann doll had been targeted for containing demonic energies and the doll was locked up under the Paranormal Investigations of Ed Diva Lee aka Diva Jobs was trapped backstage using her Psychic medium skills to giveinformation on those who appear on the show yet the host mimicking the information as if he discovered it on his own thinking. Those individuals who participated in that show were oftenSolicited for other scams whereas more and more of their revolving door was more deceased individuals either neighbors, co-workers or friends as if they were really good and Solicitedthru their contact with law enforcement agents. Jim Hart was often using hypnosis sorcerery spells and he targeted the health weaknesses on his Co workers's hiring profiles etc. . Such as asthmatic individuals and or diabetes etc. Itdoesn't matter Jim Hart is a serial killer,serial thief who often times is found with objects he claims was gifts then he surrenders the items as gifts and it's use of often similar to contain anenergy whereas the individual who recieves it also surrenders the item. Why? Because Jim Hart had studied how to transfer engery to items which are connected to a demonic energies .Jim is a big big fan of the demonic items in the haunted objects and artifacts such as displayed in the Ed Warren and Lorraine Warren's occult museum in Connecticut. That is how Jim Hartmanipulated outcomes of when he would use drugs on individuals and bargain charges and give ultimatums and suggestions as to what the judge would grant them later. Jim Hart is thelaw enforcement individual who needs to be Assassinated under the death penalty. Argue it. JIM Hart and several Santa Clara County Judges are in secrecy using assets sharinginformation and financial resources on the name Diva Lee aka Diva Jobs while the name Dilma Coleman is trapped in a revolving door of poverty and homelessness. To capture JimHart or have a fair Investigations for his accused habitual behavorial agressions is to trapped Jim Hart with his entire head covered by a bag because of his powerful sorcerery. For adetailed analysis of what led Jim Hart and his cohorts including Richard Blum (Diane's Feinstein's husband and others in his Entourage led to the Assassinations of DamonGuitzweiler. Damon Guitzweiler's murder was not done by Steven Carrillo. Argue it. Irronic how the majority of those whom frequently visited the Boulder Creek area and or Santa CruzArea once frequently visited the Palo Alto,CA areas where the hot spots for santanic ritualistic practices.

Hello City Council Members, There are three items of feedback that I'd like to give you: Downtown library hours are only 1-5pm Thursday and Friday. This is very inconvenientfor folks who work and the many pedestrian visitors to the University Ave area. Itwould be nice to have weekend and evening hours at the Downtown Library.With an affordable housing crisis in our city, why are you considering spending tens of millions on a train solution instead of developing apartment buildings over city-owned parking lots near Caltrain stations? It is great that you are building a homeless shelter, but putting it east of 101 makes it very inconvenient for people who rely onpublic transportation. The Opportunity Center is located near jobs, transit, and healthcare - we should build more affordable high-density housing in those types ofareas. Finally, the tennis court policy is that "Only 50% of the available courts at any locationcan be reserved at the same time and date. All other courts will remain open to the general public." However, the Kim Grant tennis academy is reserving 6 of the 7 (87%)Paly courts from 7-9pm M-F. I have gone on Mondays and Thursdays to Rinconada and seen USTA tournament using 3 courts and private lessons using the other 3 courts 7-9pm. Since the remaining 3 courts do not have lights, this is 100% of the available courts! Why is the 50% rule being ignored?

Be cautiousof opening attachments and clicking on links. Palo Alto Zero Tolerance for gas leaf blowers with 100% Compliance. Wouldn’t that be some headline. It has been really nice not to have the gas blowers disturbingthe peace during the shelter in place for a few weeks. How wonderful it is to get all thegardeners back to work, but unfortunately that comes with their gas leaf blowers. On myblock, there are six houses on each side of the street and of these 12 homes, 9 use hiredgardeners. All use gas blowers! When three of them arrive at the same time, I feel like I amin a war zone. Seems all the gardeners and homeowners have no regard for the law. So this is NOT an article on complaining about gas blower since there have been many. The headline reads “100% Compliance” ok, 99.9% because there will always be someone whodemands to be different. So how do we achieve 100% Compliance. It is costly for the City to add more enforcers andthe police are overworked and frankly have more important things to do with their time. This is a step by step plan on how we as a city can reach 100% compliance within 6months. In this process, reduce and maybe even eliminate this job for the police department,generate new revenue for the city and create new jobs that cost the City nothing. I present thisto the City of Palo Alto as a free idea. 1. Send out one notice with the utility bill stating the law on Gas Leaf Blowers with thestatement that this is the education part of the ordnance and the only warning that eachhome will receive.2. Setup a city website which can receive reports of violations with a place to input addressof violation and 3 pictures of the violation. These pictures should have a time and datestamp. Following pictures are required, one of the gardener doing the blowing, one ofthe gardener’s truck with license plate or company name on the truck, and one of thehomeowner’s street address. The person making the report name and address for thereward.3. The city will fine both the homeowner and the gardener (X) dollars for the firstviolation, (2X) dollars for the second violation etc. Half of the fine will be kept by theCity and half will be sent as a reward to the reporter. No more need to have a policeofficer spend their valuable time running down violators and we have just created newjobs for independent reporters. This will be a win win solution for everybody except the law breakers and in the process,create extra revenue for the city and create new jobs.Sent from my iPad From:Aram James To:Shikada, Ed; Stump, Molly Cc:paloaltofreepress@gmail.com; Council, City Subject:Mauled: When Police Dogs Are Weapons | The Marshall Project( and public records request) Date:Friday, October 1, 2021 7:20:59 PM CAUTION: This email originated from outside of the organization.

On page 16 of the staff report it is noted that architects, developers, and consultants who can benefit financially from changes in the city ordinances were contacted to assist with this report. I note although residents' homes and their privacy are to begreatly impacted by these changes, the participation of residents did not seem to bea primary concern. Although the invited stakeholders mentioned in the report may know the subjectmatter very well, the general public may not. It is believed the more than 30 pagesof new ordinance could have been presented in a manner that explains to the common resident what exactly they may be losing in the new ordinance and why. An example is the City required solar panels on our neighbors newly constructedhome. Also we have sought bids for solar panels on our home which the city encouraged. Will these new changes allow developers to cast a shadow at any time of the day on a neighbor's solar panels costing the neighbor energy/money. If so will the city/developer be liable. Perhaps the staff could return with a report that is more user friendly and not one that is just intended for professional stakeholders.

Be cautiousof opening attachments and clicking on links. Dear Mayor DuBois, Vice Mayor Burt, and Councilmembers, Please find attached our comment letter on the proposed increase to the Affordable Housing Commercial Impact Fee. Thank you in advance for your time and consideration of this letter. Respectfully, Boyd and Lund Smith www.smithdevelopment.com I SMITH DEVELOPMENT Date: October 1, 2021 From: Boyd Smith, Smith Development Lund Smith, Smith Development To: City of Palo Alto Subject: Smith Development Comment Letter on Proposed Increase to the Affordable Housing Commercial Impact Fee Mayor DuBois, Vice Mayor Burt, and Councilmembers: I hope this letter finds you well. Smith Development is writing the City of Palo Alto to provide input on the proposed increase to the affordable housing commercial impact fee scheduled for Council action on October 18, 2021. Smith Development reviewed the October 4, 2021 staff report, and the associated financial feasibility analysis, and identified two key flaws in the assumptions being used in the analysis. We kindly ask that policymakers and staff review the issues we raise below and reconsider what an appropriate fee increase would be. Those two key issues are: 1. Conditions as a result of COVID-19 have caused revenues to go down and costs to go up. The report states, "It is important to note that construction costs are currently at an all-time high due to COVID-19, which has caused disruptions in the labor market and supply chain throughout the United States. For the purposes of this analysis, it is assumed that hard costs return to pre-pandemic conditions." An assumption that hard costs return to pre-pandemic levels is too subjective at this time. While it's possible that could occur, it's also possible that costs remain at their current rates (or even increase) as a result of a variety of factors including supply chain disruption and consumer demand. Additionally, the revenue assumptions used in this analysis are also based on pre-pandemic figures which make them uncertain at best in terms of using them to justify an increase in the affordable housing commercial impact fee moving forward. 2. Pre-pandemic costs of construction for Class A office space with underground parking in Palo Alto (excluding land costs and linkage fees) costs at least $1,000 per square foot, whereas the financial feasibility analysis represents a cost of about $846.50 per square foot. This figure is based on our calculations using the figures provided in the analysis. Further, additional dewatering and shoring measures for underground garages, and higher than average development impact fees, contribute to an already expensive building environment in the City of Palo Alto that should be fully accounted for in this analysis. In summary, the low construction cost assumption combined with the assumption that construction hard costs will return to pre-pandemic levels, makes justifying an increase to the affordable housing commercial impact fee based on this analysis particularly vulnerable to overestimating the fee rates that future projects in Palo Alto can sustain. While some people may not be concerned with over-burdening future development with new fees, such a practice can have a myriad of unintended consequences including a reduction in other revenue sources 1 I SMITH DEVELOPMENT associated with development. Therefore, we kindly ask that the City of Palo Alto reconsider the assumptions made in this analysis in-light of the changes we have seen as a result of COVID-19 and bring back a revised analysis with assumption figures that more accurately reflect the current market conditions. In closing, while we understand the reasons the City of Palo Alto is looking at this issue, we hope the information provided above illustrates how this proposed fee increase could over-burden future projects and have a variety of unintended consequences. Thank you in advance for your time and consideration of this letter and please let us know if you have any questions.

On September 22, I received an email saying that I would receive documents shortly, but mischaracterizing my request – which had been substantially narrowed. The September 22 email referred to the original request. On September 24, I received notice that some documents were available through the website. That letter continued to refer to the original request rather than the narrowed request. I responded that I did not wish to use the online feature and asked that the documents be sent to me electronically. When I received no response, I emailed again September 29. I repeated my request that documents be sent to me electronically and I again corrected the scope of the request. This request is more than 90 days old and I have yet to receive a single document. I have never experienced such a complete failure to respond to a PRA request from a public agency. If it necessary to assign additional staff to this request so that it can be handled more expeditiously, I would ask that you do so. Also, with respect to any claimed exemptions, please provide as much of the redacted document as possible so that the time and recipients of the communication can be examined. Deborah B.

GOVERNOR NEWSOM also signed the following police reform bills: * expand a law signed last year prohibiting carotid restraint and choke holds; *requires police officers to intervene in situations where other officers use excessive force; * prohibits retaliation against officers who report an incident of excessive force. * change minimum age requirement to be hired by law enforcement agency to 21 and establishes higher educationrequirements for employment and creates a required quality police curriculum in the community college system; * requires law enforcement agencies to seek approval from their local governing bodies when they buy surplus military equipment; *expands the types of police personnel records that are subjectto public disclosure inclusding those related to excessive use of force and failure to intervene, unlawful arrests and discrimination; *bans restraints an transport methods that carry a substantial risk of suffocating the suspect; * makes participating in a "law enforcement gang," a group of officers within an agency that engage in a pattern of rouge on-duty behavior, a fireable offence. Allan Friday, October 1, 2021 Daily Post 9 Ii California has joined the vast major- ity of states in setting up a way to strip the badges of police officers . who act criminally or with bias, a change that was among several criminal justice reforms signed into law yesterday by Gov. Gavin Newsom. The reform bills Newsom signed will also limit the use of rubber bullets during protests, bar a type of restraint hold that has led to deaths and detail when an officer has a duty to intervene to prevent or report excessive force. "We are in a crisis of trust when it comes to law enforcement right now, across the state, across the nation," said Attorney General .Rob Bonta, New- ill som's fellow Democrat who supported the bills. "We're delivering concrete solutions from banning dangerous holds that lead to asphyxia to multiple other mechanisms that improve ac- countability and oversight and trans- parency." Officers can now lose their certifi- cation for serious misconduct includ- ing using excessive force, committing sexual assault, intimidating witnesses, making a false arrest or report, or par- ticipating in a law enforcement gang. Other grounds include "demonstrating bias" based on race, religion, gender identity, sexual orientation or mental disability, among other criteria.

Conserve Water and Help Prevent Future Restrictions With most of California, including the Bay Area and Palo Alto, considered to be in an Extreme and Exceptional Drought phase, we urge community members to act now to conserve water. In under six months, much of California was upgraded to the Exceptional Drought phase. Conserving water is more important than ever to help prevent possible future water restrictions. Find conservation tips, best practices, and permanent water use restrictions here. One way to conserve valuable water resources is by installing Green Stormwater Infrastructure such as rain barrels, cisterns, rain gardens, and pervious pavement to capture rain runoff from these hard surfaces. The City recently launched a pilot rain barrel program to encourage residents and businesses to purchase high-quality 50-gallon rain barrels that help conserve water and reduce water pollution. This is one way you can conserve water during rainy times. Learn more and order your rain barrel online at rainbarrelprogram.org/paloalto now through Nov. 14, 2021. Check back in next week’s e-newsletter for more water conservation tips and resources.

He oversees the PAPD Canine Unit and if at all possible should be in attendance on October 14, to answer questions from HRC members and members of the public( if the chair would beso kind as to allow public questions on this critical issue).

Allan and Mary Seid, John, and I drove to San Jose today (Wednesday) so the CH Racial andSocial Justice Committee could show support for the Ceremony of Apology to the ChineseAmerican Community, organized by the San Jose City Council. The ceremony included a CityCouncil resolution, read by an emotional Mayor Sam Licardo, " apologizing to Chineseimmigrants and their descendants for acts of fundamental injustice and discrimination, seeking forgiveness, and committing to the rectification of past policies and misdeeds , which includes the burning of Market Street Chinatown. Several Chinese citizens accepted the apologies, and all parties vowed to work together to rectify the lingering consequences of the discriminatory policies of the City of San Jose. It was a very moving ceremony which ended with a festive, traditional Lion Dance. We were glad to be a part of the great turnout in the Circle of Palms downtown.Here are some pictures from the event:Frances -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "CHBB" group.To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an email tochbb850+unsubscribe@googlegroups.com.To view this discussion on the web visithttps://groups.google.com/d/msgid/chbb850/1803625746.65093.1632970316057%40connect.xfinity.com.

I recall writing a story about an ex Palo Alto police detective by the name of Lewis Verbreathis police detective was sexually assaulting women in the back of his Palo Alto police squad car many of the current police officers are aware of these events and may have played anactive part in it's cover-up. He received a slap on the wrist receiving six months in the county jail I believe. The DA who was involved in his sentencing is now he Santa Clara county judge having since forgotten her name. He too is currently receiving his pension... outrageous one set of laws for civilians and analtogether different set of laws for law for police. As you know the current Palo Alto hrc member darol savage supports all police officers rights in this regard. And will avoid any questions concerning the subject. Paul Walter Free Press PS.

Be cautiousof opening attachments and clicking on links. Mayor Dubois and Supervisor Simitian: On behalf of the Palo Alto Council of PTAs (PTAC), please see the attached letter regarding the enforcement of the Palo Alto Vaping Ban. Sincerely, Steven Lee Vice President of AdvocacyPalo Alto Council of PTAs September 29, 2021 Mayor Tom Dubois and Palo Alto City Council 250 Hamilton Avenue Palo Alto, CA 94301 Sent via Email:city.council@cityofpaloalto.org Supervisor Joe Simitian 70 West Hedding Street San Jose CA 95110 Sent via Email:supervisor.simitian@bos.sccgov.org Dear Mayor Dubois and Supervisor Simitian: We are writing on behalf of the Palo Alto Council of PTAs (PTAC). Over the past couple of years, PTAC has worked collaboratively with the State of California Department of Public Health, City of Palo Alto, Santa Clara County, parents, students, nicotine addiction experts at Stanford, and adult and teen community stakeholders to address the vaping epidemic. The work was started in 2019 and is on-going to address the teen vaping crisis in Palo Alto. One of the outcomes of this on-going community collaboration was the passage of the City of Palo Alto’s Municipal Ordinance No. 5502 (“Vaping Ban”). The Vaping Ban, which mirrors the County’s ban, prohibits all retailers in Palo Alto from selling vaping devices and flavored tobacco products -- to anyone (not just minors). Flavored tobacco products are flavored specifically (e.g., cotton candy, unicorn poo, etc.) to target teens. Addressing the teen vaping crisis will require a multi-prong approach. That approach includes this Vaping Ban, along with parent education and student awareness, substance abuse treatment and mental health services, and other preventative efforts. In 2020, California PTAs passed a statewide resolution calling out flavored tobacco products that harm our teens. Over 99% of statewide PTAs supported the resolution. National PTA and local PTAs continue to monitor the teen vaping data and find overwhelming consensus in the public health community, including the American Medical Association, that measures like this Vaping Ban are a critical component to protecting teens. Unfortunately in Palo Alto, we have a problem with enforcement of the Vaping Ban. Not enough is being done. PTAC has received numerous reports from our parents and community members that the Raw Smoke Shop on California Avenue has, as recently as this past week, been selling vaping devices and flavored tobacco products to adults and minors alike in violation of the Vaping Ban. This is a blatant disregard for the law. PTAC has strong reason to believe that other local retailers may also be in violation of the Vaping Ban. PTAC condemns the Raw Smoke Shop for blatantly violating the Vaping Ban and for its continued role in adversely impacting the health of our teens. Page 1 of 2 DocuSign Envelope ID: 18E59CD4-7293-4656-B595-1FE30590F4FC PTAC formally requests that the City and County work together to more vigorously enforce the Vaping Ban by suspending Raw Smoke Shop’s tobacco permit and by taking similar enforcement action against any and all retailers who violate the Vaping Ban. While there may still be lingering debate in the community about the Vaping Ban as a matter of policy, that debate has already been decided by our City Council. This is no longer a policy debate. It is now a matter of enforcement. Palo Alto parents have been reporting violations to the City. There, however, remains little visibility or evidence that any enforcement actions have actually occurred. PTAC respectfully requests a formal response from the City and County on what specific enforcement actions have or will take place against Raw Smoke Shop and other retailers who are in violation of the Vaping Ban. PTAC is optimistic that we can improve and safeguard the health of all children if we remain vigilant and continue to work together as a collaborative community.

From:Keith Ferrell To:Baird, Nathan Cc:City Mgr; Transportation; Council, City Subject:Re: Southgate RPP question Date:Wednesday, September 29, 2021 2:49:33 PM Nathan,That doesn't answer anything. In fact it just brings up more questions. What Covid effects are being relieved by not enforcing permits that we were told we had to purchase? Why were we not told via mail, as we were told to purchase permits, that the program was notbeing enforced? That would have prevented people from using daily tags for no reason. What are the fixed cost components that we are paying for that continue without actually having a permit program? Why have you not sent out notices to residents that the program has not been enforced so thatthey can ask the city for a refund of their daily passes? Is it.even legal to collect fees from residents and not.oerform the service as required? And yes, the city is using this as revenue. You are collecting a fee and not providing a promised service.

Enforcement is now confirmed to return October 1, 2021. The most recent delay to restartwas to provide residents and staff additional time to secure/provide permits. We know this has been a difficult time and appreciate your understanding as we restart and resume regularservices. The RPP programs are not designed to provide any revenue to the City, but the collected fees are necessary to provide cost recovery for program components, many ofwhich were not significantly reduced despite enforcement citations being suspended. Again, staff can potentially issue replacement of used daily permits (stamped as utilized on dayswhere no enforcement occurred) but are unable to blanketly provide refunds. Staff have no means of verifying eligibility for refunds otherwise. Enforcement teams have beendelivering physical warnings to vehicle windshields since at least mid September in all districts.

If you would like, I can directyou to the city document that states that the neighborhood will be regularly enforced. We were mailed letters telling us to buy permits and that enforcement would start May 3, 2021. Why were we not mailed letters telling us that it was not being enforced? My guess isthat the city did not want us to know that they were collecting money with zero benefit. You can not just assume that people read the papers and city council updates. I believe that is why we have always received physical notices in the past. I expect the same to alert usthat enforcement will continue.

My talk to Council, 27 Sept Date:Wednesday, September 29, 2021 12:59:49 PM CAUTION: This email originated from outside of the organization. Be cautiousof opening attachments and clicking on links. Dear Palo Alto City Council Here is the speech I made during oral communications on topics NOT on the agenda during the 27th September 2021 Council Meeting (held via zoom). At the end of this text of my talk I provide some information on why hate speech is not a crime including several Supreme Court decisions that show that a city or state cannot have an ordinance that makes hate speech into a punishable crime. Good Evening Councilors I am Cherrill Spencer, a member of the Cities for CEDAW Coalition, appearing before you, to once again complain that your motion of 1st October 2018, to create an ordinance based on CEDAW (Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women) has been diverted off the City staff’s task list, this time by a recent motion of the Policy and Services Committee, a motion to have staff and the Human Relations Commission work on drafting an ordinance to make saying hate speech a misdemeanor for example. A little bit of research into the First Amendment of our Constitution and its protection of free speech leads one to understand that “hate speech” is not a legal term and there are many Supreme Court decisions that threw out cases where someone tried to legally punish someone else for saying some words that they thought were offensive. Why, you might ponder, does our city not already have an ordinance that punishes a person for spouting hateful things? Because it would not stand up in a court proceeding. I will send you a letter listing some of these Supreme Court decisions [this is that letter]. So please, tell the City staff NOT to work on a hate speech ordinance, but to get back to working on an ordinance based on CEDAW which will deal with discrimination against women and girls, which IS a crime. Please take the time to understand the difference between a hate crime and hate speech and stop the City staff from wasting their valuable time on a useless ordinance that tries to legally punish hate speech. Thank you. Cherrill Spencer, member of the Cities for CEDAW Coalition of Palo Alto Resident of Palo Alto since 1974 &&&&&& SOME EXPLANATIONS ABOUT WHY THERE CANNOT BE AN ORDINANCE ABOUT HATE SPEECH, Including examples of Supreme Court decisions about hate speech. (blue text is hyperlinked) A hate crime occurs when some hateful words are accompanied by an action that is clearlydefined as a crime, e.g. a person is punched in the face by the other person saying thehateful words, or the words are scrawled across the side of someone’s car so it is damaged(=vandalism). Hate speech without any such action is not a crime. The right of Americans to voice their beliefs without government approval or oversight isprotected under what may well be the most honored and least understood addendum to the US Constitution: the First Amendment. Floyd Abrams, a noted lawyer and award-winning legal scholar specializing in First Amendment issues, noted that American law protects free speech more often, moreintensely, and more controversially than is the case anywhere else in the world, includingdemocratic nations such as Canada and England. See morehttps://law.duke.edu/news/first-amendment-legend-abrams-urges-broad-protections-free- speech/ In his book “The First” by well regarded law professor, Stanley Fish, he devotes chapter 2to “Why Hate Speech Cannot be Defined” and in brief says it is impossible to define hate speech, that it all depends on your own point of view and one cannot make a law about athing that changes in time and in the public’s opinion from one period to another. In Cohen v California Justice Marshall Harlan famously said, “[O]ne man’s vulgarity is another man’slyric”. It could be said that one person’s hate speech is another person’s speaking of truth to a world that needs to hear it. Wouldn’t it be better if the content of hate speech were self-identifying, such that everyone, upon hearing an instance of it would declare “That’shateful” .Then that example would stand still long enough to become the object ofregulation. But it is actually a moving target, some people would say thus and such words are hateful and others would disagree, so trying to regulate “it” would fail. The result is thathate speech can be defined only as speech produced by persons whose ideas andviewpoints you despise and fear. “Hate speech is what your enemy says loudly” to quoteProfessor Fish. You will notice these considerations have not mentioned free speech or the first amendment, just that it is impossible to define hate speech. Brandenburg v. Ohio, 395 U.S. 444 (1969), was a landmark decision of the United States Supreme Court interpreting the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.[1] The Court held that the government cannot punish inflammatory speech unless that speech is "directed to inciting or producing imminent lawless action and is likely to incite or produce such action".[2][3]: 702. Specifically, the Court struck down Ohio's criminal syndicalism statute, because that statute broadly prohibited the mere advocacy of violence. In the process, Whitney v. California (1927)[4] was explicitly overruled, and doubt was cast on Schenck v. United States (1919),[5] Abrams v.United States (1919),[6] Gitlow v. New York (1925),[7] and Dennis v. United States (1951).[8] From https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hate_speech_in_the_United_States : Hate speech in the United States cannot be directly regulated due to the fundamental right to freedom of speech protected by the Constitution.[1] While “hate speech” is not alegal term in the United States, the U.S. Supreme Court has repeatedly ruled that most ofwhat would qualify as hate speech in other western countries is legally protected free speech under the First Amendment. In a Supreme Court case on the issue, Matal v.Tam (2017), the justices unanimously reaffirmed that there is effectively no "hate speech"exception to the free speech rights protected by the First Amendment and that the U.S. government may not discriminate against speech on the basis of the speaker’s viewpoint.[2] Justice Samuel Alito wrote: Speech that demeans on the basis of race, ethnicity, gender,religion, age, disability, or any other similar ground is hateful; but the proudest boast of our free speech jurisprudence is that we protect the freedom to express "the thought that wehate".

Is my pa pa and ma ma doingbetter something like that baby wipe didn't bite. In 2020, Diane Feinstein's (Attachment#1)husband Richard Blum stood outside of the Home Depot in San Jose CA..herecieved unsual prayers a creative way brief go away brief leave me alone conversation with Diva Lee the psychic medium..MD to JD. Diva Lee survived numberous name calling in thatHome Depot parking lot. All Richard Blum understood was that the baby wipes won't bite. Yes . Diva asks Ur sick and won't die up here or down there unless Diane Feinstein refuse touse a baby wipes. Richard Blum debate that his daughters wasn't pregnant. Richard went to his wife and asks her to proceed with using a baby wipe on him. The paycheck from that. . it wasmore like the Diva Lee MD to JD Psychic medium, Psychiatric nurse said that Richard Blum would survive 6 germ x santiizing wipes. Diane Feinstein refuse that type of debate to be usedall over Richard Blum's body. The conversation seemed really good yet the understanding of what needed to be illustrated.went to.let me scratch ur back...no I don't excema or MRSA onthat. Richard's hand was over his chest.Diane handed Diva a germ x hand sanitizer ( if ur suck if thumb in the day..ise this wipe) Diva prayed..the Lord prayer..and said blood of JesusChrist. Diva don't want to suck her thumb at age 45 it's embarrassed moments that Diane Feinstein's Alrithgrams of DIVA's real habitual behavorial habits as a thumb sucker is thesame as if it was still 1978. That's was funny to her..and had fun. We stood in the sunlight in front of the planted flowers for sale at the home Depot. Diva said those flowers don't have ascent...Richard Blum understood that he could water his plants.. possibly later that it was a lemon tree..at the home Depot that needed a hole add soil add water. Richard Blum understoodthat Diva answered his questions.yet question#2 was at the shed the display shed in the parking lot. Richard Blum gave a high five but his fingers didn't touch DIVA's hand. Diva saidthe rent was $20. And that's it. DIVA's response was $20 rent. What's ur name sir. My name is Richard Blum. Diva said ain't no rent $20 and she ain't delusional schizophrenicanymore...name calling should be more like Diva admits finally that she is a Farter. Yes. (Attachment#5)Diva says she is louder than the fart toy at Target which is sold for under $5.That the end of it. Since that parking lot conversation with Richard Blum that $5 fart toy (not seen in attachment#5)was recalled and no longer sold at Target. Richard Blum understood thatthe fart toy he collects are similar to these in attachment#5. Argue it. The home Depot thru the plant and at Target stores stood people aware that there were several using the identity of DivaLee aka Diva Jobs..and her financially abused charectoristics behaviors wasn't hers and the women using Diva's inherited income and or something like that was a heavy set women whowore her hair with blonde colors had a romantic relationship with Elon Musk or his identical twin brother Reeve Musk Wjotyla. Argue it. What's happening now? Dima Coleman currentlyrecognize that women at Gateway Hall homeless shelter. That women had violent controlling attacks on Diva Lee in Italy whereas Dilma Coleman reflects on being in Italy Victimized bypeople who used that GHB drug on her..and have continued to harrass,strike, and peel off simple items whichever makes Dilma Coleman survive and look normal without her actualdocuments, financial accounts DIVA's real identity and financial resources. Why is Diva Lee aka Dilma Coleman homeless whereas Richard Blum found DIVA's real estates Propertiesfilled with individuals who spread their sorcerery spells and oppressed Diva Lee in the name of Dilma Coleman.

Be cautiousof opening attachments and clicking on links. September 29, 2021 Hi Andrew, ( Assistant Chief Andrew Binder) Just wondering if you intend to be at the HRC meeting on October 14, 2021 to addressproposed policy changes re the current PAPD canine unit? As you and I have discussed I believe the only moral and just policy would to ban canine unitsin all situations involving the apprehension of presumed innocent crime suspects. I hope by the time of the HRC meeting you will have read the Pulitzer Prize award-winningseries: Mauled: when police dogs are weapons ( see link below) so you can give thecommunity a true picture of the danger of this extraordinary dangerous weapon ( policeweaponized canines). I know you supervise the canine unit for the PAPD. And I know you would like to be the nextchief of the PAPD. As such it behooves you to be transparent with the community in other words to tell the truth,no half truths or obfuscation, that these vicious canines have a long history of being trainedand deployed by mostly white police officers on African Americans and other people of color.We both know this is true, correct? The Palo Alto community also deserves to know the annual cost of maintaining our canineunit: the cost of two high paid officers used in large part to parade these dangerous canines toour school children and to other, and numerous, public functions, without ever presenting toour children, our community, the vile racialized history re the use of canine units. Time to tell the entire story Assistant Chief Andrew Binder. I for one am counting on you. Best regards, Aram James https://www.themarshallproject.org/2020/10/15/mauled-when-police-dogs-are-weapons 9/27/2021 Hi Mary, The chair is a very bright man. And despite my criticism, it’s seems the HRC continues to function welland benefit the community on a number of criticalissues. That said his refusal to give folks sufficient time tospeak is inexcusable and anti-democratic. As you knowthe HRC, prior to the current regime, was community-friendly …and in my view consistent with the mission of the HRC encouraged community participation. The HRC historically, for all the years I‘ve attended,gave speakers five minutes for oral communication and five minutes to speak on separate agenda items. Themeetings were often packed with many members of thecommunity speaking to the critical issues of the day. Now the meetings rarely have more than one or twospeakers and still the chair insists on limiting the one ortwo speakers to two minutes during oral communicationand on agenda items. These arbitrary limits despite the chair’s propensity for running on almost endlessly on allissues. The efficiency of the meetings apparently is more important to the chair than public participation. Forgotten is the lesson of the first Jew on the SupremeCourt Louis Brandeis: the most important participant in a democracy is not the public official but rather thecitizens-members of the community. (Emphasis mine) In any event, I will continue to attend HRC meetings and express my views on the important issues of the day. I’m used to dealing with right-wing judges, Jim Crowjudges, judges determined to deny my client's due process and the right to a fair trial. Despite theseobstacles, we always figured a way to get our message tothe jury even in the most restrictive of environments. I refuse to be intimidated by this chair, a judge, or anyother public official. I am, however, afraid that other members of the public without the benefit of my training may have alreadybeen scared away by the unnecessarily authoritarianatmosphere created by the chair. Ok, see you at theOctober 14, meeting. Thanks for continuing to update me on HRC issues. Best regard, Aram P.S. I will be very interested to see if communitymembers show in large numbers at the October 14, HRC meeting…. to discuss whatever policy suggestions HRCmembers Kraus and Savage have made to the PAPD repossible changes to the current PAPD canine policy. P. S. As I have made clear in my writing to the HRC,city Council, etc., the only acceptable policy in light ofthe history of the use of canines to disproportionatelytarget African Americans and other people of color is to ban the use of canines to apprehend presumed innocencecrime suspects.

Stanford University has entered into an agreement with Notre Dame de Namur University (NDNU) to work toward Stanford’s purchase of NDNU’s campus in Belmont, California. The agreement is designed to support the academic missions of both universities and stems from a new vision that NDNU is independently pursuing to transition to a university offering graduate programs and undergraduate degree completion programs. That shift led NDNU to decide to sell its campus. For Stanford, the campus presents exciting potential opportunities as it pursues its educational mission and Long- Range Vision that includes more purposeful engagement with the region, nation and world. The property’s existing use as a residential academic campus was an important consideration for Stanford, as was its location on the Peninsula in proximity to public transit and Stanford’s existing main and Redwood City campuses. The universities envision a future for the site under Stanford’s leadership that honors the shared academic histories of NDNU and Stanford as institutions of higher education working to advance knowledge and understanding for the betterment of humankind and supports the distinct plans that each university has for its future. “We are delighted to be planning for the future of the Belmont campus in a way that strengthens both universities and our respective connections to the community,” said Stanford President Marc Tessier-Lavigne. “We have a chance to envision new and innovative academic uses for the site that are grounded in its rich history and embrace the dynamism of the Bay Area.” A Stanford campus in Belmont could, for example, unlock opportunities to provide space for programs that are emerging from the Long-Range Vision and extend the reach of the university’s Continuing Studies course offerings to more Bay Area residents. For NDNU, the agreement with Stanford will provide financial resources that enable the university to develop new programs and provide outstanding educational opportunities to its students, continuing its 170-year legacy. “This agreement between NDNU and Stanford gives NDNU the flexibility to grow again in new and exciting ways,” said NDNU President Beth Martin. “We will be able to continue the programs for which we are so well known, and to add new programs directly targeted to changing student needs, including a mix of in-person, hybrid and fully online programs." “This is a unique opportunity for Stanford to support higher education in the region, connect with residents in a part of the Peninsula where we have historically not had as much of a presence and invest in expanding our academic Stanford I Stanford News Service 425 Santa Teresa Street, Stanford, CA 94305-2245 T 650.723.2558 F 650.725.0247 mission in service to the community,” said Stanford Provost Persis Drell. “While we do not anticipate moving existing teaching and research activities off of the main campus, adding a campus in Belmont will provide us with additional space and facilities to enhance those activities through more regionally-focused work.” Stanford will develop a campus plan with input from NDNU, the Stanford community, City of Belmont and local residents. In tandem with and to inform that process, Provost Drell will be working with a faculty advisory group to provide strategic direction about possible future academic uses for the campus. The space planning and campus design effort are being led by Stanford’s Land, Buildings and Real Estate Department through a process that is expected to take several years, beginning when Stanford submits its application for site improvements that require city approval. Stanford is committed to engaging all stakeholders throughout the process of planning for the Belmont campus’ future.

Be cautiousof opening attachments and clicking on links. Dear City Council members, I wanted to follow up on the discussion last night on the planned development at 525 East Charleston around two items. First I strongly endorse Council Member Kou's request that height poles be put up on the site so that people can get an accurate idea of the height of the proposed building. I have asked the architect twice for renderings of the building showing it in relationship to the building around it but so far she has only shared rendering of the building by itself. Second as my neighbor Carmen Rodwell pointed out last night, people in the Greenmeadow neighborhood do not oppose the project. We do however have concerns about the lack of parking currently in the project and safety issues due to the traffic the project will generate as well as the overall size in relationship to everything else around it. While there have been multiple community workshops and meetings, I don't believe that those issues have been adequately addressed in the current project design. I hope that that the architect, developer, and planning commission will work to address these issues prior to a building permit being issued.

Dilma Coleman argues that Attorney Jarrett Adams played the game minion too much whereas the game was based on real lifecharectoristics behaviors from the makers of minions as if minion charectoristics behaviors are for men to trapped women and expose their nakedness in front of children is ok. The childrenargues that the reality of the movie minions hurt their aunt. Keep that costume in the dark closet were mommy and daddy said is off limits. Dilma remembers the challenges of workingat Stitch Fix in SSF on an assignment with A temp agency in Hayward,CA. Dilma wore that minions Halloween costume at the Stitch Fix costume contest. It was something like that SSF commercial buildings complex was crowded with gang activity whereas most of the temp workers there were affiliated with Lucinda Southworth's Cohorts. Dilma Coleman currentlyrecognize that most of the Gateway Hall clients and Homefirst homeless shelter guests were temp workers at Stitch Fix or something like a uncontrollable guests at the brewery in the nextbuilding behind stitch fix in SSF. Argue it. Irronic how Dilma went from Hayward,CA to Stitch Fix in SSF to Fabiana's home in SJ with a carry on bag filled with dirty laundry..Fabiana Vega had a job in the County jail yet she possibly volunteered with an organization that had stem courses for children to learn coding. Argue it. There the children learnt differentnutrition whereas small cooking classes had precedence.. especially recipes for making sweet pickles in a jar from harvested cucumbers. Not sure if the Fairgrounds was a place the childrenhad those classes yet it was a place the children were with their aunt for that evening. What led Fabiana Vega to drop off the kids with their aunt Dilma at the fairgrounds whereasDilma's only piece of clean clothes was her(Attachment#2) minions Halloween costume. Fabiana Vega resided near the Valley Fair Mall whereas her laundry machine was broken.Fabiana had managed a busy weekend whereas Diva Lee aka Dilma Coleman agreed to babysit for Fabiana And Virgil Vega two-three small children. Argue it. Dilma Coleman saidthat the fairgrounds had bed cots and the heater was on..Dilma says that Fabiana had fed the children Chick fil A and she was also fed. Fabiana was hospitable also with a provided meal.Dilma says she might of been attacked with the HGB drugs..whereas she exposed her minions Halloween costume. Dilma says that the girls were far away from her it appears they wereasleep. Dilma Coleman was uncomfortable and she could not get up quickly. Dilma Coleman says that the children complained about a man being on top of their auntie and that auntie'sdirty underwear and clothes were torn from other men who decided to bullying..using their Auntie's laundry clothes "underwear". The men involved with each other continued bullyingthat the underwear were torn apart.. whereas the men took the torn under wear from the Fairgrounds towards the McDonald's. It was broad daylight wheres Fabiana Vega broke up themen from their bullying and returned the underwear to Dilma. Mr. Jarrett Adams the children seen him on their aunt and Dilma did not know who he was. The children continued to mimictheir aunt's behaviors especially her noises and her body postures..they simulated the sounds with food in their mouths as if their aunt's mouth was stuft with french fries. The children alsoused french fries in their mouth to reflect and mimic what was happening with their aunt. The children argues that auntie was hurt in her minions costume and didn't know it. And mommyand daddy have to his the costume as if it was a scary thing which promoted PTSD. Argue it. The kids had went into the parents hide out their closet deep in the back and seen the yellowcostume. They describe how they seen it and ask Auntie to watch the minions movie and point to the favorite Charector as if she mimic that charectoristics. The child debated back n forththat auntie did not mimic any minions from that movie..but to watch the movie "The Grinch who stole Christmas". That distraction gave the children gratification that auntie is a lawyerwith the same charectoristics behaviors from the grinch who stole xxmas yet the debate of it created gaslighting techniques from Fabiana taught to them about "what color is this"..thechildren were watching the Grinch everyday yet the child who didn't know why auntie's minions Halloween costume had to be thrown away and how it caused arguments of namecalling and unfortunate unforgettable experience of auntie exposing herself..to men she didn't even know. Then the child seen in the minions movie how auntie was in fact a minion whoargues that she didn't know the other minions. The child was sad depressed and angry..because her role in the way she viewed her Aunt demonstrated that she was a good person who got herin trouble for when aunt is doing bad. How that scared her. It was a discrepancy between a children's simulated gestures mimicking adults being Victimized by sexual Assaults. YesDilma Coleman was questioned further about who was the men who accompanied Dilma with the children to Burger King whereas the children walked with their aunt from the Fairgroundsto the Burger King. The children were supportive and understanding that Auntie didn't recognize the man Mr. Jarrett Adams. At the Restaurant Burger King Fabiana Vega returnedto the Burger King because the child had a cellular phone returned to them to make a call. The child communicated well to Fabiana about their aunt being restricted. Fabiana begingaslighting whild the child defended and questions about why mommy didn't believe her and said bad things about auntie. The child said that someone was hurting auntie and mommydidn't believe her she begins to argue ,whine complain then blame auntie for for Mommy not believing her. The child was unable to phone their guardian Fabiana and that made themangry.Dilma Coleman's niece complained about how her aunt Dilma Coleman didn't even know where she was and the kids continued to talk talk talk about auntie not sure why shewas with a man that she didn't know his name. The children continued to ask questions saying that how is it impossible for a man to be on top of auntie doing inappropriate things andfor her not to know his name. The child was angry and she tried to get the man off her aunt. The child said aunt was asleep and could be woke. The children kept mimicking their Auntthinking and behaviors. The aunt asks the children a series of questions about her behavior which continued to be answered by Fabiana and interrupt..the children complained about howtheir mom kept them from fully understand why auntie couldn't remember what the youngest child kept repeating that worried her so much.. The first time on September 27,2021 Dilmabegan to understand what that man Attorney Adams did to Her at the fairgrounds in San Jose CA whereas Dilma was trapped under the influence of GHB drugs and the different men whotook the kids phones until the children were allowed to speak. The children kept Communicating effectively yet that Communication kept Fabiana using gaslighting techniqueswhereas the children kept mimicking the behaviors which auntie displayed as inapropriate. ARGUE it. It was inapropriate for their aunt to have to keep quiet and the children had set upwalls of Communication they seems scary and awkward for auntie not to understand and communicate normally. The children were concerned about their aunt especially when theyused their physical hands in distresses to remove the man's hands from touching their Aunt's body. Diva aka Dilma Coleman felt trapped yet the children had used the skills an techniquestheir Aunt demonstrated as security if a man had touched aunt's body especially if auntie didn't respond, suck her thumb or something like fart. This is the type of self defense Dilma used tohelp the children have awareness of people's behaviors when Auntie wasn't able to speak. Dilma had taught the children to get the attention of the attacker yet keep ur distance andscream if u want. The children in Attachment #3 had been targeted and angry at their aunt for not knowing theman's name. The bigger girl Bella had the greater understanding that the little kids knew that the minions movie charectoristics scared auntie and hurt auntie and they covered their ears orkeep the TV volume down. (Let's pause are the kids in attachment #3 alive and or something like unsolved homicides of 2021) argue it. Fabiana Vega knew his name was Jarrett yetFabiana Vega asked Dilma if she knew Jarrett Dilma responded no. That she only remembers a Garrett not a Jarrett. Dilma asks if Jarrett Adams was a cartoon character that was scary forBella.or something like that. I hope u understand Dilma Coleman aka Diva Jobs aka Diva Lee's alligations of the restraining order Fabiana Vega made against Dilma Coleman onDecember 28,2020 with Dept 20 in Fairfield CA inside David Haet courtroom..was details that Fabiana claimed happened at her 1330 Shelby Dr Fairfield CA home. Fabiana gaslighting withlies..defamed behavorial habitual..lies...without mentioning that this inappropriate things had began at the fairgrounds in San Jose,CA whereas that man Attorney Jarrett Adams had accessto Fabiana n Virgil's home address or something like it. Dilma says that the Solano family justice center has Fraudulent workers Vigilantes who work together with those who Exploitedchildren and trapped adults such as Dilma Coleman with illegal restraining orders to further trap the illegal children Exploited further. Dilma argues that an Hawaiian women isn't doingjustice and is a relative to a homeless women named Wendy aka Willow(a former dentist a current professional Sorcerers doing santanic ritualistic practices with the usage of GHB).Dilma argues that Fabiana Vega had an identical twin brother or sister who was a transgendered women who had a terrible addictions to doing crimes with Amoni Mayfield andothers. Dilma believes that Fabiana is either deceased or her identical twin named BABY is deceased as of 2020 buried at Oak Hill Cemetery in San Jose CA..or elsewhere like AltaMesa Cemetery burial grounds in Palo Alto CA. The other witnesses at the fairgrounds were Fabiana's distance relatives who worked as security guard(Jolene Walton etc.) at thefairgrounds in San Jose,CA whereas they acted as if they didn't see anything out of the ordinary and they didn't care about-face to face confrontational acts that would incarceratetheir life if they involved themselves with the criminal acts around them especially if it was justified that they were introduced to Jarrett Adams as an attorney who was incredible personwrongfully incarcerated then his miraculous recovery to go from being incarcerated to owning successful law firms scattered across the U.S. The men who forced themselves to be indecentwith children as if that room was occupied with men who Exploited children for sex. The other men felt trapped by the presence of Jarrett Adams as if he was a phony lawyer who istrapped by lies and aggressive law makers who turned his story into a fictional character that isn't a reality. The men debated that Jarrett Adams's success should be with multiple other menand if his success story wasn't fictional that he should not be the singled out as a loner in the fastest route to being a criminal lawyer focuses on civil Rights whom had offices spreadingacross the U.S while Mr.Adams made strong comments and suggestions for how his success surpassed the career experience of Diva Lee a MD and JD who's background was as a formerrescue firefighter medic at San Quinten's prison, Psychiatric nurse at Santa Rita Jail, former Law enforcement officer with various rewards and various Accolades and keys to the city forher heroric events as a DOJ agent in gun control who worked at various state prisons including the BOP etc. Why would DIVA's financial assistance come in assistance for Mr.Jarrett Adamsquickly yet Diva aka Dilma Coleman worked temp jobs and had unpaid student loans and closed bank accounts where a prepaid credit card bill is due. Whereas her credit report reflectsa purchase of a new car and home in the Elk Grove,CA. Argue it. The judical system to complain about Solano Judge David Haet Dept 20 the system is broken. David Haet Dept 20needs to be charged with Malfeasance especially when he has correct information about Diva Lee aka Diva Jobs being the adopted daughter of beloved Steve Jobs..etc. attachment#3 Creed.Define Creed..show it as a dogma u could relate to?

Be cautiousof opening attachments and clicking on links. Hello Palo Alto City Council, I am a homeowner and resident in Greenmeadow and my home is within a couple hundred feetof the proposed development project at 525 East Charleston. In fact, if the project is built as designed, it will be in direct view of the living and sleeping areas of my home. I personally feel that this project is way too big for the proposed location and I feel it shouldbe scaled back significanly in both the proposed height and number of units. Here are the reasons: The parking plan does not reflect what would needed by this project. Only 50% of the units are for developmentally disabled people who may not likely to have a car.However, the other 50%, which are low income residents and those who work in the 2,700 square feet office section will most likely have cars. The first block of Nelson willbecome parking for the facility as it is the nearest location that is not on Charleston, where parking is limited. The intersections of both Nelson and Charleston as well as Middlefield and Charleston are already complex and any additional traffic in and out of this site will increase thiscomplexity and impact safety of children biking and walking to school. The proposed height of the project is between 39 and 49 feet which will make it one ofthe tallest buildings in the area by far. The nearest buildings of this height are either the JCC or the library. This project sites right next to Greenmeadow, a community whichhas single story zoning to protect privacy of our Eichler homes which are designed with large floor to ceiling windows. I feel that the project is way beyond the height it shouldbe to maintain harmony with the neighborhood. Please scale back the project to no more than than 35 feet as normally allowed for properties within 150 feet of a residentialzone. While I do think the project addresses a real need for housing for developmentally disabledindividuals it should not be built at this scale at this location. Just because you are allowed to build to this scale under the law does not mean you should as it impacts the privacy and safetyof all who live in the community. Thank you for your time.

The purchase price of the permits should easily cover the cost of the program given that the program is not active. The program is not voluntary. If I need to park on the street, I need tobuy a permit or I will get ticketed. How is that voluntary? We were told that we would need to buy a permit as enforcement was going to start back in April/May. We have received nonotice that the enforcement has ended. Why is that? TO THE CITY COUNCIL: Why are residents being asked to purchase a permit for a program that is essentially not active? I request that all permits that have been purchased beextended an additional six months, given that the program has not been enforced for that length of time. If the enforcement does not start on October 1, then I request that the permitsbe further extended. This is what was done the prior year. Residents are not an ATM for the city to use when they need money. If the RPP is not being managed, what exactly are the costs? If the costs to print and track permits are more than thecost of the printing and inputting of the information, then something is very wrong. I would like an explanation from someone as to how this is being allowed.

Thanks Keith From:Anita Lusebrink To:Council, City Subject:Tonight"s Agenda: Proposed Development at 525 E. Charleston Road Date:Monday, September 27, 2021 5:34:59 PM CAUTION: This email originated from outside of the organization. Be cautiousof opening attachments and clicking on links. Dear Mayor DuBois and members of the Council, I would like to express my support for the important proposal by Eden Housing on tonight’s agenda regarding building 50 affordable homes at 525 E. Charleston Road. This includes the funding recommendations relating to financing the development of affordable housing for extremely low-income and very low-income persons with intellectual or developmental disabilities. Affordable housing for the disabled and lower income members of our community is almost impossible to find, is still needed, and is completely achievable. The housing shortage is still a major factor for those who are actively working or seeking jobs in the area, with public servants such as teachers, nurses, public safety officers etc. being prime candidates for these affordable units … but what about the people who don’t stand a chance at what is available because they are not able to work at all due to Developmental Disabilities and other handicaps? They have no income except for governmental stipends, at best a minimum wage part-time job, or their families’ generosity. Having a place they can call home, near to their family (but not IN their parents’ home!) and other support systems such as San Andreas Regional Center, is crucial. I know this from my own niece’s journey as a 26- year-old young adult on the Autism Spectrum, struggling to find a safe place where she can ‘live her own life’. People with disabilities need help; there is no two ways about it. I see it in my niece’s situation: she needs help from other people to complete the “Tasks of Daily Living” as well as help from government stipends, programs, and accommodations. Public transportation is a lifeline for those like her who never will be able to drive, and the proximity to both specialized services, retail, banking as well as VTA routes will decrease this type of Bay Area citizen’s dependence on more complicated and expensive resources. I am so excited to have new housing developments like the currently being constructed Wilton Court project in Palo Alto (21 out of 59) having units set aside for people with developmental disabilities. It would be wonderful to have my niece have choices to be able to live closer to her grandmother (who also doesn’t drive) and I; and I think most families with a member who has Developmental Disabilities would feel the same. I also like that the units will be a mixed population, where people of differing abilities can both enrich each other’s lives as well as be close when someone is in need. With more than 10,300 people in Santa Clara County living with a developmental disability, this population is an important demographic to consider in proactive planning and prevention of homelessness and dependency on other County services. Indeed, from school age on, a federal ruling in 2014 was passed to ensure that those who get long-term services because of disabilities have as much opportunity to enjoy life in a community as anyone else and are not just relegated by default to institutions or other restrictive residences. States had five years to comply with the new rule and each one has had to develop detailed plans showing CMS how they will do it. Palo Alto’s new housing construction and zoning can make this plan into reality. Thank you for having a positive, practical, and inclusive vision for our city’s future!

This will be the 6thtree removed from this block of Colorado with only 2 trees replaced by the City. Did the Planning Department notify your division of the new houseAre you planning to denude thenorth side of the 500 block of Colorado Avenue??? The same phenomena seems to be happening to the Midtown shopping area with trees disappearing and never replaced. Both City-owned trees in the park strip and ARB approvedlandscape trees at Safeway and Chase bank are missing. Most of the missing trees occurred BEFORE covid-19. I requested to see the list of tree plantings for Fall 2021 and Spring 2022. Is there a plan,especially for South Palo Alto? Is there at least a list of trees that were planted in the last 10 years?

Re: Item #9, September 27, 2021 - Please Incentivize Affordable Housing and Maintain Existing Residential Protections Dear Mayor DuBois and City Council Members: I am writing in favor of maintaining Palo Alto's Context Sensitive Design standards. If youhave not driven down Waverly St. near JLS Middle School recently, please do so. Many houses on Waverly were expanded or replaced during the late nineties before the contextsensitive design guidelines were established. You may see a two-story colonial mansion over- towering a modest Eichler, a two-story Tuscan villa next to a California ranch-style home. I am so grateful that context-sensitive design guidelines were adopted before the tear-downcraze hit the Ventura neighborhood. Although the new houses are typically quite large, at least they blend with the older homes. I believe that these changes will make building affordable housing in Palo Alto even moredifficult. Relaxing building standards drives up the value of land by increasing the density of what can be built. To date, the City Council has not received public input on these changes. Please take the timeto compare the proposed code with the current code so that we understand what these new standards will mean for Palo Alto.

In short, more parking is definitely needed. The height is also a concern. Maybe a mixed height could be considered. That might also be more architecturally more interesting, appealing, and not so “in your face” and out of place for the neighborhood. Also, the “flow” of traffic is a BIG concern.

Be cautiousof opening attachments and clicking on links. Dear Council Members, As a Palo Alto resident and homeowner for the past 30 years, I am writing in support of two important housing projects that are to be discussed at the September 27 meeting. Agenda Item 3 - Eden Housing: This is a unique opportunity to provide truly affordable housing for those with developmental disabilities at a location close to beneficial services (AbilityPath, Ada’s Café, bus lines on Middlefield, shopping nearby at Charleston Center, etc.). I am grateful to the County for providing the land for this project, and I strongly urge you to use your study session to determine ways to help move the project forward in a productive manner. Agenda Item 10 - LifeMoves Emergency Housing Project: I strongly urge you to pass the resolution authorizing the City Manager to apply for Project HomeKey funds to construct transitional housing for the unhoused at the North San Antonio site (similar to the program LifeMoves is running in Mountain View). We truly have an emergency shelter crisis in our City as well as the broader region; we need to step up to provide transitional housing for those in need. Both of these projects bring in outside funding while providing significant benefit to the city and some of our most needy residents. Thank you in advance for your consideration and support. Sincerely, David Bergen From:Michele Hollar To:Council, City Subject:525 East Charleston Project (intersection of Nelson/Charleston) Date:Monday, September 27, 2021 2:47:04 PM CAUTION: This email originated from outside of the organization. Be cautiousof opening attachments and clicking on links. Dear Members of the City Council, I am very interested in this project and appreciate the effort to create badly needed low income housing. However, I do think there are a few important issues that need to be studied and perhapsreworked before I could support it wholeheartedly. I saw in the proposal that Eden Housing is not required to provide a minimum of parking spots for low- income housing with disability units. Not having enough parking makes a complexmuch less workable. The suggestion is that renters with special needs will not have cars, and low income drivers won’t either because they can’t afford them. I think this is ratherpatronizing and presumptuous. There are many good older cars that people with less income drive, as well as students. There are many kinds of special needs, and not all of them preventdriving. Expecting tenants to use the bus system is not practical. I myself have used the bus on several occasions and routes. I found that they ran irregularly, transfers were difficult with lots of waittime, buses did not show up etc. The reality is that these renters will have cars and the City needs to plan for that. Either build underground parking, or make a deal with the Charleston Center to rent enough spaces so eachunit has one parking spot. The other big problem facing this complex is that the traffic pattern must be studied and plans made to make entering and exiting the complex safe. The Charleston/Nelson crosswalk is verydangerous for cars, bikes and pedestrians. It is much better than it was before the Arastradero corridor improvement, but there are still too many moving parts there to have a driveway tyingto empty out close to the traffic light. At rush hour especially the residents will be trapped. Penny Ellson discussed this with me and I am definitely in agreement with her suggestion touse the fire road between 525 and Challenger to bring exiting traffic from the complex to Middlefield Rd instead of Charleston. These problems need to be solved in the planning stages. If you can get them addressed, I amtotally in support of the project.

Be cautiousof opening attachments and clicking on links. Dear esteemed members of the Palo Alto City Council, I've lived in Palo Alto for over a decade. I've seen friends priced out of the housing market, an increase in RVs throughout town, and an increase in the homeless population. This city cannot just be a home for the wealthy. A healthy community has affordable housing for all income levels. I'm very much in favor of both the Eden Housing project and the Life Moves proposal. The space at 525 Charleston is well-situated for housing. I live near Mitchell Park and delight in all the nearby services. Building housing for people with special needs, with a ground floor non-profit to help them, seems like a perfect synergy. The LifeMoves proposal offers a safe space for people going through tough times. Finding an affordable place to live in the South Bay has been difficult these past few years. Adding COVID in the mix, it's become even more so, with more people in need due to illness or job loss. No project will ever be perfect. We have the opportunity to help people now. I encourage you to adopt the resolution to apply for HomeKey Funds in conjunction with LifeMoves. Sincerely, Joslyn M.

Dear Mayor DuBois and City Council Members: The big question is, how many people who took part in these proposed changes to Palo Alto'sdesign standards actually live in Palo Alto?

Or the future impact on the city's carrying capacity if density is allowed to increase piecemeal without forwardplanning. Please require the light of day be shined on every one of Staff's proposed code changes. Require an accurate line by line comparison of the current code and every proposed codechange so that any impacts are not obscured. In particular, provisions against height and massing that have protected all residents in the city should not be cherry picked so that some neighborhoods are sacrificed while others areprotected. Provide parity for all neighborhoods. Especially those neighborhoods who have not been well represented in the past by council members with pro-office development agendas. Finally, before this returns to you, please insist on adequate time for the public to thoroughlystudy and provide input on any code changes Staff proposes to Palo Alto's current design standards. Sincerely, margaret heath2140 Cornell Street .

Thanks very much. Folks, since we may touch on the Workforce Housing Overlay tomorrow evening, and since the first project under it has now been named (“Alta Locale”) and has begun leasing, I thought it would be worth reviewing progress on this overlay so far. From the project’s website, 1-Br units in 2755 ECR run from 374 sf to 661 sf in size, with monthly rents ranging from $3,377 to $4,658/mo. A couple data points are: This represents a roughly 50% to 150% premium above prevailing Palo Alto market rates1 (from Craigslist, May 2021) for similar-size units, which run mostly between $2,000/mo and $3,000/mo. (Chart below) Some possible reasons for the difference might include location, amenities, or simply newness. The Workforce Discount (20% of units) appears to be about one-half percent below Market Rate2 (diagram below). For example, a 374-sf “Jr 1-BR S1 ‘Below Market’” unit rents for $3,377 /mo, while the same unit at market price rents for $3,392 /mo. So the Workforce discount on this unit would be $180 per year, or about 0.4%. A “30% of household income” yardstick for the smallest 374-sf unit would imply a household income of $135,080 per year. A “30% of household income” yardstick for the largest 661-sf, $4,658/mo unit would imply a household income of $186,320 per year. Charts below. Regards, Eric 1. Alta Locale vs prevailing Palo Alto market lease rates for different-sized 1Br units. For example, a 626-sf unit at Alta Locale leases for about $4,500 per month, whereas most listed Palo Alto units of similar size rent for between $2,000/mo and $3,000/mo. Sources: Craigslist May 2021, altalocale.com 2. The Alta Locale web site shows market and below-market lease rates for various units. For example, a “Jr 1-BR S1 ‘Below Market’” unit leases for $3,377 /mo, while the same unit at market price leases for $3,392 /mo. So the Workforce BMR discount on this unit would be $180 per year, or about 0.4%.

It seems that there was an underground individuals who spread homeless people at night to sleep at various parksbecause the shelters were full to capacity. The women in Attachment 1-3 had pick pocketed certain homeless individuals at a Palo Alto CA park on Embarcadero Ave near Palo Altomuseums..at like 3am under the directions of Laurie Smith and used whatever cash for her gas money,nails etc. Homeless people woke up angry missing cash and complained about thewomen who pick pocketed them. That women is now at shelters as a deputy sheriff scary looking mimicking Laurie Smith as Alameda county DA Nancy O'Malley. Argue it. Attachment #1-3 the women had attended a party at a hotel Whereas Laurie's favoritecelebrities gathered for whatever. Diva was there..when they arrived..diva was bullied to seat elsewhere and deputy lady told Diva to sit over there.go way over there...like she a bully. Thenthe guests in the party were transferred to Mr. Larry Page's homes. Diva was invited. Same deputy sheriff accompanied by others in their crew..told Diva to get out her seat and sitelsewhere. They were mean to Diva. The party left Larry Page's home and travelled to Las Vegas,NV to homes whereas Diva once owned. The guests arrived at certain homes then wentto a casino with karoyoke music and restaurant then Diva was thrown to the streets as if it was a place to sleep similar to the Parks in Palo Alto CA along the Embarcadero Rd. That Deputysheriff who accompanied Laurie Smith was foul with how they not licensed in Las Vegas NV as sherrifs yet they had gave instructions to the homeless individuals who accompanied theHost Larry Page in Las Vegas NV. Diva Lee aka Diva Jobs didn't understand what and how she ended up in Las Vegas whereas she had visited Las Vegas had a hotel room for 2 daysalone on her trip. Diva Lee could not understand why there was so much geographic analysis of the different types of bullying whereas Diva was VICTIMIZED while Larry Page hadhosted certain individuals to Las Vegas. Diva Lee didn't understand how she had played Poker and the winning tickets diva was forced away from the gambling tickets..to be redeemed. Itwas a horrible trip whereas Diva Lee was robbed. And a few faithful folks turned the winning tickets into diva to cash out..yet diva was VICTIMIZED with that GHB fell asleep at thecasino tables and a mother and son was elated with a huge amount of cash to solve their financial burdens as if it was a miracle. Diva doesn't like being bullied and trapped at thecasinos to win.yet drugged with HGB and forced to let go of her winnings or donated them as it's for a non profit..that bullying is cruel and evil. Certain individuals are educated to mimic and spread their own name calling based on medical charts or created files on Dilma Coleman aka Diva Jobs.. This created the most hostile environment in the shelters..whereas they defend their favoriteshelter workers or Dignity on Wheels contact person or frequently visited sherrifs. Their complaint against Diva Lee is valid..and diva is subjected to physical mental abuse especiallywhen the abuse is considered 5150. Similar as something like the bullying that De Anza College Professor Barack Goldman had accused Diva of stalking his classes when she was a student at De Anza College and hisstudent. De Anza College faculty accused Diva of resisting arrest..diva completed 18 sessions of anger management college suspension whereas the De Anza College Professor BarackGoldman spread lies in a jealous sadistic santanic ritualistic practices because Barack Goldman stole journals which Diva Lee wrote about her affiliation with John F Kennedy jr.Argue it. Barack Goldman had turned those journals into screenplays for movies produced and created for Lion Gate productions. This crew on Sept 20,2021 had done it in the past and especially during Harris Presidentialcampaign fundraising event at the Fairgrounds whereas Diva Lee Victimized.

It was John Handy IV his wife Dell Anderson and others who did analysis of DIVA's Stanford University applications for a study abroad program affiliated with PeaceCorps. Yes. Joe Lacob robbed Stanford University of his scholarship money intended for Diva..yes he gave it then took it away...Diva was forced to fled to the Reno Judicial college tobecome as Judicial student.

We are facing a homelessness crisis in our community, in the Bay Area, and statewide. As the City Council staff report summarizes, the proposed project is the rapid deployment of modular housing for the purpose of providing interim housing opportunities for the homeless in the City of Palo Alto. This project would get individuals and families off the streets now and is a critical step to tackling the homelessness crisis. LifeMoves’ outside-of-the-box modular approach and robust wraparound support services means we could be housing the folks living on the streets, on University Avenue, downtown car parks, and the San Francisquito Creek in a matter of months, not years. It is a proof of concept that works and would also benefit the community of Palo Alto. The Project Homekey program has been a substantial effort to respond to the homelessness crisis. In fact, the Legislature passed and the Governor signed an unprecedented budget responding to this crisis, which includes $1.2 billion federal American Rescue Plan Act funds for Project Homekey in 2021-22 and $1 billion for Project Homekey in 2022-23. Now is an opportune time to act and take advantage of this funding. I am pleased to support a partnership between the City of Palo Alto and LifeMoves, and I encourage the adoption of this resolution to apply for Project Homekey funds. STATE CAPITOL P.O.

Be cautiousof opening attachments and clicking on links. Dear City Council, As you review the proposed housing project at 525 East Charleston, please consider my view that more parking is required. 20 spaces for 55 units + offices is inadequate. I'll guess thebuilding could house as many as 100 adults, many or most of whom will require a car. Buses and bicycles are inadequate. I find in discussions there is plenty of support for lower cost housing, and it is the congestionon our roads that is the biggest concern. Forcing new residents to park on our public streets is a bad plan, as this creates more congestion, at a location that is already stressed. Please insist on many more parking spots. I appreciate that the County wants to avoid the cost of underground parking now (or othersolution), but the consequence is everyone pays a congestion price continuously, for all of our lifetimes and others thereafter.

Be cautiousof opening attachments and clicking on links. Hello City Council members, I live in Greenmeadow, so I frequently exit from my area onto Charleston from Nelson Dr. Ireviewed the Eden Housing proposal and have some real concerns about its size and scope, given the location. It really needs to be scaled back to half the height and number of units forthese reasons: The intersections at Charleston and Nelson and at Charleston and Middlefield arealready very busy since Arastradero/Chaleston was narrowed to one lane. The Eden Housing project would be located right in front of the merge from two lanes to one! Charleston/Arastradero is one of the main roads heading to/from 101, so cars are constantly backed up at peak traffic times, morning and afternoon/evening. The EdenHousing project would add to an already chaotic mix of pedestrians, bikes and cars. The parking in the proposal is not adequate for what would be needed. Only 50% ofthe units are for developmentally disabled people who are not likely to have a car. The other 50% are low income and they most likely will have cars. There is also2,700 square feet of office space. Those who work there will need parking as well. It is likely that Nelson road will become parking for the project as it is the nearestlocation that is not on Charleston. The shopping area across the street will probably instigate 2-hour parking, so Eden residents and office staff will not be able to parkthere. How can the County promote a project with the expectation that those who use the facility will somehow use the poor public transit in the area?The height is 40-50 feet which will make it one of the tallest buildings in the area. The nearest buildings of this height are either the JCC or the Mitchell Park library.Note that it is one story higher than Stevenson House! This project is right next to Greenmeadow which has a 'single story overlay' to protect privacy of our Eichlerhomes. The Eden project is twice the height it should be to maintain harmony with the neighborhood. It's a laudable goal to provide more housing for the developmentally disabled. However, the Eden Housing proposal is too big and lacks proper parking for that location.Thank you for your consideration in this matter, Lisa Steinback, Creekside Dr. From:Aram James To:Constantino, Mary Cc:Human Relations Commission Subject:Re: Human Relations Commission Meetings….and arbitrary time restraints for public speakers Date:Monday, September 27, 2021 12:05:29 PM 9/27/2021 Hi Mary, The chair is a very bright man. And despite my criticism, it’s seems the HRC continues to function welland benefit the community on a number of criticalissues. That said his refusal to give folks sufficient time tospeak is inexcusable and anti-democratic. As you knowthe HRC, prior to the current regime, was community-friendly …and in my view consistent with the mission of the HRC encouraged community participation. The HRC historically, for all the years I‘ve attended,gave speakers five minutes for oral communication and five minutes to speak on separate agenda items. Themeetings were often packed with many members of thecommunity speaking to the critical issues of the day. Now the meetings rarely have more than one or twospeakers and still the chair insists on limiting the one ortwo speakers to two minutes during oral communicationand on agenda items. These arbitrary limits despite the chair’s propensity for running on almost endlessly on allissues. The efficiency of the meetings apparently is more important to the chair than public participation. Forgotten is the lesson of the first Jew on the SupremeCourt Louis Brandeis: the most important participant in a democracy is not the public official but rather thecitizens-members of the community. (Emphasis mine) In any event, I will continue to attend HRC meetings and express my views on the important issues of the day. I’m used to dealing with right-wing judges, Jim Crowjudges, judges determined to deny my client's due process and the right to a fair trial. Despite theseobstacles, we always figured a way to get our message tothe jury even in the most restrictive of environments. I refuse to be intimidated by this chair, a judge, or anyother public official. I am, however, afraid that other members of the publicwithout the benefit of my training may have alreadybeen scared away by the unnecessarily authoritarianatmosphere created by the chair. Ok, see you at the October 14, meeting. Thanks for continuing to updateme on HRC issues. Best regard, Aram P.S. I will be very interested to see if communitymembers show in large numbers at the October 14, HRCmeeting…. to discuss whatever policy suggestions HRCmembers Kraus and Savage have made to the PAPD repossible changes to the current PAPD canine policy. P. S. As I have made clear in my writing to the HRC,city Council, etc., the only acceptable policy in light ofthe history of the use of canines to disproportionately target African Americans and other people of color is toban the use of canines to apprehend presumed innocencecrime suspects.

A couple of comments on the proposal: - Traffic entering/exiting will be dangerous. This is a very difficult location traffic-wise.There is a busy school crossing in one direction, a busy shopping center entrance in the other, and generally busy street traffic on a narrow lane with many bikes. (This is a school route.)Traffic into and out of this building will not only be difficult, it will be dangerous. I like Penny's idea of using Challenger's driveway if that is possible. Otherwise, I'm honestly notsure how to make this safe. There are going to be a lot of cars going in and out with all of the non-disabled residents and workers. (Public transit here is difficult to use. I've tried it. It takesforever.) - Parking on neighboring streets will endanger cyclists. I'm sure you've gotten comments about the lack of parking. It is inadequate, and it is very problematic to have the bike lanes(marked or unmarked, as on Nelson) filling up nearby, because there are a lot of bikers in this area, especially kids going to school but also adults going to work. Look at San Antonio orRengstorff or ... and what happens to the bike lanes there near the underparked developments. Please, please do not repeat that mistake here, it will endanger the cyclists. - 40-50 feet is really tall for this area. Finally, I worry about putting a 4-story building here.There is nothing that height anywhere nearby. Virtually everything is one story. Stevenson's a few blocks away is three stories, but they are short ones and it is well set back. I worry that abuilding 40-50 feet in height will stick out like a sore thumb. I'd encourage you to reconsider the height of the structure. (BTW, I wouldn't bother with the slanty roof. That doesn't make thebuilding fit in.) I hope you will consider these comments.

Diva was found in a date rape situation in a Wisconsin hotel. Argue it. Mr.Adams is picky and has great discernment of thetype of women he associated with and that's why he wanted Diva.

Amnesty International Group 1107 (located at Channing House) announces its KICKOFF EVENT for the World Day Against the Death Penalty : a Rally at Lytton Plaza in downtown Palo Alto on Saturday, October 9th at 2:00 pm. Speakers includeTerry McCaffrey, the chair of California's People of Faith coalition to end the Death Penalty. The speakers will focus on “Woman and the Death Penalty”. On October 10, 2021, the World Coalition Against the Death Penalty and abolitionist organizations around the world will celebrate the 19th World Day Against the DeathPenalty. This year the World Day is dedicated to women who risk being sentenced to death, who have received a death sentence and so much more. Their stories are an invisiblereality. While working towards the complete abolition of the death penalty worldwide, it is crucial to sound the alarm on the discrimination woman face and the consequences suchdiscrimination can have arising from the death sentence. For a better understanding about the impact on society when Women face the Death Penalty, we have attached a brochure which gives more information on the plight of women and the death penalty's reality.

Today, 1441 countries are abolitionist in law or practice, representing more than two thirds of the world's countries. While the statistics quantifying how many women are currently facing a death sentence are scarce, according to Amnesty International’s report on the death penalty in 2020, at least 28,567 people were known to be under a sentence of death worldwide. The report also con rmed that at least 113 women were under sentence of death globally. However, this number only refers to gures con rmed for seven countries and does not account for women sentenced to death in other countries where precise numbers are not available. A 2018 Cornell Center on the Death Penalty Worldwide report, entitled ‘Judged for More than Her Crime,’ estimates that there are at least 800 women under sentence of death around the world and reports that over 100 were executed between 2008 and 2018. International legal instruments aim to exclude pregnant women and mothers of young children from the application of the death penalty (see page 9). However, these instruments do not address gender-based legal and socio-economic discriminations that women continuously face. Extensive discrimination based on sex and gender, often coupled with other elements of identity, such as age, sexual orientation, disability, and race expose women to intersecting forms On 10 October 2021, the World Coalition Against the Death Penalty and abolitionist organizations around the world will celebrate the 19th World Day Against the Death Penalty. This year the World Day is dedicated to women who risk being sentenced to death, who have received a death sentence, who have been executed, and to those who have had their death sentences commuted, have been exonerated or pardoned. Their stories are an invisible reality. 1 Amnesty International, https://www.amnesty.org/en/documents/act50/3760/2021/en/ At least 800 women under sentence of death around the world and reports that over 100 were executed between 2008 and 2018. ---- ----I - — 3 —— 19th WORLD DAY AGAINST THE DEATH PENALTY — of structural inequalities. Such prejudices can weigh heavily on sentencing, including when women are stereotyped as an evil mother, a witch, or a femme fatale. This discrimination can also lead to critical mitigating factors not being considered during arrest and trial, such as being subjected to gender-based violence and abuse. Non- discrimination is a core human rights principle embodied in the Charter of the United Nations, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and other core human rights treaties. While working towards the complete abolition of the death penalty worldwide for all crimes and for all genders, it is crucial to sound the alarm on the discrimination women face and the consequences such discrimination can have on a death sentence. Gender — Describes an identity in relation to "masculine" and "feminine," acknowledging that these notions are socially constructed rather than determined by physical attributes. Gender-based discrimination — A form of discrimination based on a person’s gender that can manifest in a multitude of ways, both subtle and overt. Gender-based violence — Violence directed towards a person based on their biological sex or gender identity and grounded in unequal power relationships. It encompasses physical, sexual, verbal, emotional, and economic harm, and it includes threats and coercion. It should not be con ated with violence against women, which excludes a broad understanding of gender2. Intersectionality — A concept that recognizes that structural discrimination, for example based on sex, gender, race, class, caste, or another prohibited ground, does not operate in isolation; individuals may suffer additional or unique forms of discrimination when they are subjected to a combination of different forms of discrimination.

"Like many women in prison, Ghati had lived a di cult life and had overcome many challenges. She rst married when she was only 13 years and gave birth to her only child. Unhappy in her marriage, she ran away and joined the police force, where she excelled. However, whilst working, she was raped by her superior and forced to leave her job. After leaving the force, she met her second husband, Manfred, a German national who was working in Tanzania. They married and moved to Germany, where they lived a happy life for nearly 20 years. In 2007, Ghati returned to Tanzania and set up a charity combatting FGM [Female Genital Mutilation], a practice she was subjected to as a girl. However, this happy return was short-lived after her arrest and imprisonment. [Following the accidental house re,] Ghati was held in police custody for 6 days without access to a lawyer. At her trial, there was no clear evidence against her, and all the witness testimonies were riddled with inconsistencies and contradictions. Despite this, Ghati was sentenced to death and spent many years on death row. Ghati has always maintained her innocence throughout the years." Source: Testimonial and photo collected by Reprieve.

"In July of 1998, 4 people died after eating poisoned curry at a festival in my neighborhood. After the curry was found to contain arsenic, I became a suspect- I helped prepare the curry, and my husband frequently used arsenic in his extermination business. After being named as a suspect, the mass media descended like a pack of jackals. 24H/day they stood on ladders and photographed me, my husband and our four children. My kids were accosted, "Do you think your mother is a murderer? What will you do if she is arrested?" They would even forage through our trash. Under Japanese law, the prosecution must provide a criminal motive to the court. The assumed motive was vengeance- my anger at slights from neighborhood people. None of this was ever proven. The media love a femme fatale and my picture appeared on the front page of every major newspaper. Despite the lack of evidence, I was sentenced to death."

Fourteen years following her conviction, she was transferred to Nusakambangan Island, Cilacap, where executions usually take place4. "The rst time I stepped into Tangerang Detention Center, I was terri ed. Then, at the moment the judges sentenced me to death, my emotion began to stir uncontrollably. Living in the prison, I tried to make peace with the unimaginable environment. I lled my days with gardening. I then became involved in many activities, from making music to praying […] One night, two prison guards woke me up. The guards informed me that I had to go Cilacap, Central Java. I fell into silence. My eyes looked at the cell once inhabited by the late Rani Andriyani, another death row inmate who faced the same situation I was facing now. In Nusakambangan I lost my appetite. For two days, I did not meet anyone except the wardens. The next (few) days, I was met by my daughter who brought along my infant grandchild. It was the height of my sorrow. Everything in Cilacap prison appeared so unfamiliar. Every time I heard gates being opened or padlocks unlocked, my blood rushed; this went on again and again for so long. I hope to be free, together with my family and other people, and become once again a citizen without the status of a deceased death row inmate."

She was fully exonerated in 2015. “In December 1989, I was a single mother with a 4-year-old son named Christopher. A male friend, with whom I lived, took my son to visit Santa at the mall. Unbeknownst to me, Christopher was taken to the desert by my friend and another accomplice where he was shot 3 times in the head. Soon after, they lied to me and the police, and claimed that Christopher went missing in the mall. While in a state of despair waiting for my son to return, I was later informed of his murder and arrested at the same time. The detective claimed I had confessed to participating in the crime. I did not confess and I did not waive my right to an attorney. There was no evidence of a confession; no witness, no audio/video tape, and no signed confession. There was also no evidence linking me to the crime. The suggested motives were to receive $5000 of life insurance, and a fear of seeing Christopher grow up to be a drug addict like his father. The prosecutor hid the detective’s long history of malfeasance and decided what story to tell the jury instead of letting the evidence tell the story. My character was assassinated and I was deemed criminal by associating, unknowingly, with bad men. The state violated womanhood, motherhood, and the law, and I languished on death row for 22 years because of it.

No justice system is safe from judicial error and innocent people are likely to be sentenced to death or executed. 3It is unfair.The death penalty is discriminatory and is often used disproportionately against people who are poor, people with intellectual or psychosocial disabilities, and members of racial and ethnic minority groups. In some places, the imposition of the death penalty is used to target groups based on sexual orientation, gender identity, political opinion, or religion. 4It is inhuman, cruel, and degrading.Conditions on death row and the anguish of facing execution in ict extreme psychological suffering, and execution is a physical and mental assault. 5It denies any possibility of rehabilitation. 6It creates more pain, particularly for the relatives of the person sentenced to death, including children, with harsh transgenerational consequences. 7It is applied overwhelmingly in violation of international standards.It breaches the principles of the 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights, which states that everyone has the right to life and that no one shall be subjected to torture or to cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment. On seven occasions, the United Nations General Assembly has called for the establishment of a moratorium on the use of the death penalty (resolutions No. 62/149 in 2007, No. 63/168 in 2008, No. 65/206 in 2010, 67/176 in 2012, No. 69/186 in 2014, No. 71/187 in 2016, No. 73/175 in 2018, and No. 75/183 in 2020). 8It is counterproductive,because by instituting the killing of a human being as a criminal solution, the death penalty endorses the idea of murder more than it ghts it. 9It is ine cient and does not keep society safer. It has never been conclusively shown that the death penalty deters crime more effectively than life imprisonment. 10Not all murder victims’ families want the death penalty.A large and growing number of crime victims’ families worldwide reject the death penalty and are speaking out against it, saying it does not bring back or honor their murdered family member, does not heal the pain of the murder, and violates their ethical and religious beliefs. 1 0 RE AS O NS TO END THE USE OF THE DEATH PENALTY — 10 —— WORLD COALITION AGAINST DEATH PENALTY — — 11 —— 19th WORLD DAY AGAINST THE DEATH PENALTY — 1Organize a demonstrationThis option must be considered with the utmost care given the COVID-19 pandemic – please use public policy and common sense if you decide to hold a public demonstration. 2Organize a gathering on a videoconference platformIt can take the shape of a webinar, remote workshop, conversation, a public debate, art exhibition or even a virtual lm screening to create awareness. 3Build partnerships with women’s rights organizationsto spread awareness about how gender-bias is present in the application of the death penalty. 4Participate in a TV show or within a community radioto raise awareness of the need to abolish the death penalty and the realities of women on death row. 5Organize an interview with a woman on death rowto help raise awareness on their story. 6Join the eventsprepared for the abolition of the death penalty worldwide. 7Donateto a group working to end the death penalty. 8Follow and repost the social media campaign on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter: #nodeathpenalty 9Mobilize the mediato raise awareness on women who are sentenced to death both locally and worldwide. 10Participate in “Cities Against the Death Penalty/Cities for Life”on 30 November 2021. 1 0 THI N GS YOU CAN DO TO END THE DEATH PENALTY — 12 —— WORLD COALITION AGAINST DEATH PENALTY — To find out more… Find out everything about The World Day Against the Death Penalty at: http://www.worldcoalition.org/worldday.html including : The 2021 World Day poster; The Mobilization Kit;The Detailed factsheet on women and the death penalty; The 2020 World Day Report.

And waste valuable Staff time in the process of doing that. The report on this item is a bit mind-boggling. As I read it I couldn’t help but wonder if it was deliberately written to discourage scrutiny. Using numbers or letters to delineate key points would have been more helpful than the use of bullet points so that one could reference a specific point. The third bullet in one section references virtual permit options. Is the use of a virtual program really an option? Can residents instead opt to continue with the physical sticker and hang tags for guests? Transitioning to a virtual permit parking program leaves wide open potential for rampant abuse by those who do not own a permit to park in a particular area but choose to park there anyway because it is convenient for them. The physical tags are an immediate indictor that a car is legitimately parked in a given area. When a street is fully parked, that indicator is important. A consistent argument in the Staff Report on this is that the virtual program is better. The report specifically states that the virtual approach will “streamline operations for staff”. While complicating it for residents? How are violations - which can easily become problematic - to be known? Cars obviously won’t explode if parked where they ought not to be parked, so how does a virtual program maintain the protections achieved by the existing RPPP? How often and how do the license plate readers get read? What is the additional cost associated with that? Will fees increase so as to maintain the required revenue-neutrality of the program so that costs to operate do not exceed the fees charged? How is the license plate reader program limited so as to be constitutional? About guest parking - the existing program that requires a hang tag works perfectly well. Requiring residents to go on line and register a guest’s vehicle is onerous. Frankly, beyond paying for an annual permit, I cringe at the thought of having to access a City website for anything to do with parking. I base this on problems experienced with the utility website. What safeties will be built into the proposed program to assure that permit holders are not fined b/c the website was not working as it should? And the idea that residents may have to register guests online is offensive. Very Big Brother. Tech isn’t always the answer, as we recently learned with regard to the train track monitoring system. I hope Council will send this proposal back to Staff for serious revision. Or scrap it altogether.

Be cautiousof opening attachments and clicking on links. On page 16 of the staff report it is noted that architects, developers, and consultants who can benefit financially from changes in the city ordinances were contacted to assist with this report. I note although residents' homes and their privacy are to begreatly impacted by these changes, the participation of residents did not seem to bea primary concern. Although the invited stakeholders mentioned in the report may know the subjectmatter very well, the general public may not. It is believed the more than 30 pagesof new ordinance could have been presented in a manner that explains to the common resident what exactly they may be losing in the new ordinance and why. An example is the City required solar panels on our neighbors newly constructedhome. Also we have sought bids for solar panels on our home which the city encouraged. Will these new changes allow developers to cast a shadow at any time of the day on a neighbor's solar panels costing the neighbor energy/money. If so will the city/developer be liable. Perhaps the staff could return with a report that is more user friendly and not one that is just intended for professional stakeholders.

Be cautiousof opening attachments and clicking on links. Dear Mayor Dubois and Council Members, The Objective Standards package is a hot topic of conversation in the community,accompanied by much confusion. Below are my concerns. As I understand it, the Objective Standards will streamline the approval process for multi- family housing development. Recently a package of State Laws, sponsored by the legislators Wiener and Atkins, that includes but is not limited to SB 9, and SB10, has been added to existing legislation thatincludes SB35, for the purpose of facilitating housing development. To my great regret these new laws do not focus in any way on developing affordable housing. I urge you to facilitate the development of affordable housing in every way you can. In addition livability is of key importance for all residents whether they live in the newmultifamily housing or live with the multifamily housing as neighbors, all need the benefit of green in de form of trees, plants and open space such as parks. Objective Standards need to keep our city livable for all. It is my undedtanding that if a multifamily project exceeds the Objective Standards it will be returned for approval to the ARB according to the regular process. I am concerned that office development included in many housing development projects willincrease the amount of jobs and thereby contribute to new and increased RHNA demands for the next Element. This way we end up in endless games of housing development allocations,never getting ahead but remaining under the gun to accommodate developers and the investment community demanding to build multifamily housing at market rate but not asaffordable housing. I did listen in on the Objective Standards discussion at the PTC, and was struck by a lack of clarity in the Staff proposal. At one point Staff maintained that changing a sentence forstylistic reasons was necessary to "clean up the code", while the Commisioners perceived a significant change in policy. This pertained to the 150 ft required between a highrise andsingle family houses. Clarity is extremely important. In particular when the frequent use of the ministerial method of approval that bypassesneighborhood notification and input, will be felt as a significant sacrifice by a great many homeowners. Therefore I urge the Council to improve communications with the residents on the subject ofObjective Standards. Thank you very much for your consideration.

Be cautious of opening attachments andclicking on links. October 3, 2021 Dear City Council Members, We believe it critically important to express to you our concerns over the new, proposed Objective Standards, the need to have morecommunity involvement, and a detailed analysis of how these new standards will affect our entire community. To quickly summarize, we hope you will focus on 7 key issues or areas which we believe are deeply concerning to us: 1. There is no explanation of the impacts of these proposed new standards on neighbors and our City. Which specific rulesare being removed or modified? What is being lost or changed? The staff report fails to provide any details on the impacts ofremoving these criteria or even have a public discussion on these impacts in a manner that residents, Council, or others canreview. 2. The new standards clearly eliminate meaningful privacy protections for residents. For example – the current law statesthat new projects must “respect privacy of neighboring structures, with windows and upper floor balconies positioned sothey minimize views into neighboring properties.” The new standards eliminate the above statement and replace it with only“a landscape screen that includes a row of trees with a minimum 1 tree per 25 linear feet and continuous shrubberyplanting”. It doesn’t say anything about respecting privacy or how those trees or shrubbery will prevent views from a secondor third floor of a building. 3. Several new loopholes – buried inside -- are created by the new standards. Table 1 on page 111 says that the newstandards will apply to a number of zones, but there is huge exemption. Largely, commercial properties. Instead, thesecommercial properties will be able to avoid the Objective Standards and be only asked to comply with a series of very weak“Intent Statements”, which are located inside the chapter of the Objective Design Standards. So, to put it simply, if acommercial building is less than 2/3rds residential, they don’t have to follow the Objective Standards and instead just the“Intent Statements”. 4. The staff proposal favors upzoning for commercial development. The proposed ordinance would allow more large-scalehousing by commercial developers without acknowledging that this will raise land values and make it harder – not easier – tobuild the affordable housing we need in our City. 5. The new standards would remove protections from multi-family residences, thus discriminating against the sameresidents they are trying to attract. Example – the current Context-Based Criteria states, “Where new projects are builtabutting existing lower-scale residential development, care shall be taken to respect to scale and privacy of neighboringproperties . . . “. The new standards totally eliminate this sentence and says, “When a building abuts a side and/or rearproperty line with a RE, RMD, R-1, or R-2 zoned parcel or existing single-family use, the building shall break down theabutting façade by . . .”. This means that some people living in RM-20, RM-30, or RM-40 could be losing their rights andprotections. It’s simply unconceivable that these residents should be discriminated against by our City and they should betreated in the exact same way as other residents. It is critically important that this be changed. 6. The new standards are poorly-written and could eventually lead to being unenforceable. One example – in the proposedObjective Design Standards at 18.24.050(b)(1), page 136, it says, “When the height of the subject building is more than 20feet above the average height of an “adjacent” building an upper floor step back shall start within 2 vertical feet of the heightof the adjacent building.” However, the law doesn’t specific what “adjacent” means, so isn’t that up to staff to interpret? Acourt could one day rule that this law requires too much staff interpretation and consider all the objective standards invalid. 7. Lastly, these standards were developed by not treating residents as “stakeholders” too. In the staff report, page 120, it says, “On January 22nd, March 23rd, . . ., staff sent an email to a wide range of architects and consultants that have workedwith the City in the recent past on development projects to solicit their comments on the draft objective standards.” It’s ashame that Staff did not consider that residents might also be interested or be “key stakeholders” as well in this process. It’sunfortunate that developers and contractors that the City has “worked with” are treated as their primary stakeholders andnot residents. We sincerely hope you will review these 7 points and truly take the time necessary to change and reformulate these objectivestandards. It is critical to all Palo Altans and is not something left to Staff to decide. Thank you.
